Taxes On Alcohol Aimed At Checking Health Hazards – Officials
By Nformi Sonde Kinsai
Tax officials have stated that the new tax on alcoholic drinks, notably beers, wines, whiskies and champagnes that went into effect in Cameroon on February 16 is not only aimed at redistributing wealth, but also checking the health hazards of these products on the population.
This information is contained in an explanatory note issued last week by the General Directorate of Taxes in the wake of increase in prices of alcoholic drinks locally manufactured or imported.
The rate of price increase on such alcoholic drinks ranges from FCFA 50 to little more than FCFA 4,000 all taxes inclusive.
It is explained that the tax known in French as "droit d'accise," is imposed on some products considered as luxurious such as caviar, hand and neck laces, precious stones, luxurious cars, among others, for the purpose of redistributing wealth.
"This tax applies especially on products considered hazardous to health such as alcohol, tobacco…," the explanatory note maintains.
It states that the entire amount collected from the recent increase in the taxes on alcohol will be paid into State coffers and this will contribute in covering the charges and missions of public service.
"This revenue equally serves the authorities to cover negative externalities linked to the consumption of these products as they have a very high cost in matters of public health," it stated.
Maintaining that there are several ways of calculating the tax notably the ad valorem and the specific taxation methods or the mixed system that combines the two, the tax officials said before the reform, Cameroon was applying only the ad valorem method based on a 25 percent proportional rate.
"With the reform, our country opted for the mixed taxation system, very close to the best international practices in the domain as recommended by international institutions, notably the World Health Organisation, WHO," the tax experts hold.
The consequence of the rise in prices of the alcoholic drinks is that, with the legal provisions now in place, the consumers will pay only the additional amount exclusively linked to the specific "droit d'accise" tax and the corresponding Value Added Tax, VAT.
Article 8 of the joint arête specifies that no increment in the prices other than what is legally authorised following the readjustments will be tolerated.
The explanatory note states, for example, that the increase in the price of a 65cl bottle of beer must be FCFA 100 at most, no matter the brand of the drink; and that the increment in the price of a 33cl bottle of beer must be FCFA 50 and not more irrespective of the brand of the drink.
"As fruits of the concertation between Government, operators of the brewery sector and consumer associations; this increase in the prices of alcohol preserves the purchasing power of the consumers and the interests of the brewery companies," the explanatory note further stated.

I have recently returned from a business trip to the United Kingdom and unfortunately were robbed during our trip. It is something that leaves a bad taste in the mouth and has a significant impact on the remainder of the environment around you, and the experiences you are having. This was a first experience for us.
The immediate thought is how can I make time go backwards?, what did I do wrong?, why me?, and a plethora of other feelings and senses that if left uncontrolled become panic. Normality returns as you accept your actual position, and then commence the process of rectification.
As we continued our travels I was still dealing with matters within the Firm and I recalled how many creditors will often approach our matters with the sense that they too have been robbed by the directors or the debtors in a given situation, and I must say, that whilst not in every case there are many that they would be correct.
In sorting things out I had two parallel thought processes running, what must I do to rectify my loss and secondly what will I do differently so as to prevent re-occurrence. In this aspect I again thought of many of the matters we deal with where creditors have said "this is the Xth time this has happened to me … this year … in this industry … with this person … etc". How much remedial action do you take?
When you experience a negative event take the time to learn a lesson from it, if you don't then all you are doing is wasting all the money you invested in the training, (sorry loss).

First time tweeters typically fall into two camps: They say something so awkward that they expose their novice status or they say something so ineffectual that nobody responds.
Not the case for Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's campaign vice-chair and long-standing adviser and confidant who Clinton has referred to as her "second daughter." Abedin's first tweet Monday evening was a clear shot at GOP candidate Dr. Ben Carson for comments he made Sunday saying he "would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation."
"You can be a round American, a proud Muslim, and proudly serve this great country. Pride versus prejudice," Abedin tweeted.
Abedin, a Muslim, may have also been targeting Donald Trump over his reaction to a crowd member who, during a Q&A session, went on a tirade about Muslims being "a problem in this country" and misidentified President Obama as a Muslim who was not born in this country.
You can be a proud American, a proud Muslim, and proudly serve this great country. Pride versus prejudice.

LucyBot is a project of the organization you founded when you were just a senior in high school: Paradigm Youth Network Organization, a nonprofit dedicated to breaking the culture of silence around sex among Kenyan youth. What drove you to want to create change in this area?
I live in a very conservative society where matters of sexual and reproductive health are discussed in low tones, and only by adults. Young people's peers become their main source of information about sex, and misinformation ends up getting spread, like the idea that washing with soap and water after sex can prevent pregnancy. Without access to reliable channels providing high-quality, accurate information on sex and sexual health, youth are prone to making ill-informed choices.
The consequences of these information gaps are a huge public health burden to Kenyan society and the people of Siaya: early and unplanned pregnancies, unsafe abortions, a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, the spread of STIs, and incorrect usage of emergency contraceptives among young women. I believed strongly that technological innovations could fill these information gaps and increase access to reliable and confidential sexual and reproductive health resources in Kenya. That's why I created the chatbot—to provide young people with a safe online space where they can access information without censorship or discrimination.
Can you say more about why you chose chatbot technology as the way to achieve your goals?
Data collected from our community outreach and focus group discussions with young people from Siaya and Kisumu Counties, revealed that young people feel more comfortable asking questions about their sexual and reproductive health through the approachable and popular medium of Facebook Messenger.
With LucyBot, users are able to message in Facebook Messenger 24 hours a day with questions about sexual and reproductive health, and receive answers within seconds, making it the best way to deliver personalized, immediate, non-judgmental, and accurate sexual health information to young people.
LucyBot shares information with its users through conversations driven by instant messaging and can also direct users to additional resources, including the locations of existing health care facilities and live educators. The bot is greatly helping to relieve the awkwardness surrounding discussions about sexual and reproductive health, particularly in conservative African settings. It offers a safe space for young people to ask questions around the subject in private without fear of censorship and stigmatization.

With reports of increased presence of foreign vessels in Indian waters, the fishers in the country have demanded the Centre to take steps against the entry of such vessels in the Exclusive Economic Zone of India.
The All Kerala Fishing Boat Operators Association sent a representation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding drastic steps against the entry of foreign vessels in the Indian waters. The Association has given a representation in the wake of ten Chinese fishing, alleged to be fishing in Indian waters, taking shelter in Ratnagiri in Maharasthtra because of Cyclone Vayu. They also alleged that about 200 foreign vessels were in the outer sea to enter Arabian Sea.
In the representation, they also demanded a uniform regulation of fishing boats in the country. The demand has been made in the wake of Kerala bringing in stricter regulations than the other states on fishing vessels.
Stating that the representation was given on Tuesday, AKFBOA general secretary Joseph Xavier said that they were trying to get an appointment of the Prime Minister. "We hope to meet the Prime Minister soon so that all the issues pertaining to the industry could be presented to him," he said. In the representation, the Association has said that it was only abundance of fish in the Indian waters that had prompted the Chinese vessels to fish in the Indian waters. Noting that the scientific community has failed in giving reliable information about fish wealth, the Association also demanded to probe into the activities of the scientific community. They alleged that when the scientists here cautions against the shortage of fish and also recommends stoppage of all fishing for a long period, the foreign vessels with the help of their own satellite installations locate the abundance of fish here. The Association in the representation has alleged that the marine scientists have entered an unholy alliance with foreign agents. In this context, the Association has demanded a probe by a central agency into the activities of the scientific community.

Before arriving in Vancouver I had a good idea of what I wanted to do and see. So this post is all about what I've already done. With the Bunac Work Canada programme I received a Lonely Planet guide for Canada, not just for Vancouver. I love the Lonely Planet guides, I used the Berlin one back in November 2015 and it was my bible for the entire trip. They include everything from sightseeing to shopping to food and drink, what more could a girl want?!
Commercial Drive was one of the first areas I explored. It was home to our first airbnb place situated in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, about 20 minutes on a bus to Downtown Vancouver. It was formerly known as Little Italy so the first meal I had was pizza, my favourite. It is also filled with quirky little coffee shops, organic whole food supermarkets and hippies. I am frantically trying to find some pictures to attach below but I have none of "The Drive" (must take more photos). The only photo I have is food related, donuts from The Dime. I would recommend this place for food, it's super cheap as everything on the menu is under $5 and also really tasty.
Downtown Vancouver is definitely my favourite place to be, in the middle of all the action. It has tonnes of skyscrapers which reminds me of New York, I feel so cosmopolitan strolling through the city. I saw a lot of Downtown in the first week, walking miles and stopping for refreshments (beer). It is home to the SWAP office which is handy if I need to print anything off or ask any silly questions. Granville and Robson Street are located in Downtown; filled with restaurants, bars, shops and many Starbucks. I wish I drank proper coffee so I could stroll with a takeout coffee in my hand, I don't think a decaf latte counts. It is a very multicultural place and lots of tourists. I guess I'm still a tourist and I definitely do not know my way round even though I'm in Downtown most days.
James and I stumbled upon David Lam Park, it's strange how one minute you are walking through streets of high-rise buildings then a park appears and you can see False Creek. False Creek separates Downtown from the rest of the city as you can see below. David Lam Park and False Creek are so calm and relaxed compared to Downtown, even though it is just minutes away. It is super photogenic too with the water, boats and the skyscrapers in the background. A jazz festival was in full swing at the park, it was a great atmosphere and really sunny. Again I wish I took more pictures, I promise I'm on it next time I am out and about.
I love that Vancouver is a city but also has beaches. I have visited two so far, Jericho and Sunset Beach. Sunset Beach is located in West End, very close to Downtown. It didn't look like much when I saw it as it was cloudy and empty apart from dog walkers and fitness freaks. It doesn't have white sand and palm trees but it is better than Hessle Foreshore back at home. It looks out onto Burrard Street Bridge, not too shabby eh?
Jericho Beach was a lot nicer, again it was cloudy and grey. I thought I was escaping British weather, clearly not in Vancouver. It is in the Kitsilano neighbourhood and has a sailing club and park. It is also home to various water sports like kayaking and paddle boarding. I would like to return on a sunny day. To top it off it had amazing views of Downtown and West Vancouver.
I have mentioned Canada Place in my Canada Day post so I won't say anything about it, I'll just show you some more photos…
Finally the other day I went to McArthurGlen Designer Outlet just for a churro ice cream sandwich and it really did not disappoint. Daily Hive is a website and Instagram account I love scrolling through. It is all things Canada; news, food, events and things to do in your chosen city. So when I saw an article about a churro ice cream sandwich I couldn't ignore. Obviously a spot of shopping gave the trip even more purpose too. It is based in Richmond near the airport which you were reminded of constantly with low flying airplanes every ten minutes or so. I took a train and a bus (I miss my car) but it was worth it. It was really nice sunny day too.
Even though Vancouver is huge and I have no car, getting around is super easy. Public transport is spot on and so frequent. It is reliable unlike public transport in England and reasonably priced. I had no idea why the buses are connected to wires above but Google has just answered my question. They are known as trolley buses that draw power from overhead wires, crazy. Vancouver also has sky trains and sea buses. I've used the sky train twice, it is like a monorail but also goes underground so that confuses me. I am yet to try to the sea bus so I will let you know how that goes.
This has turned into a mini tourist guide and I'm pleased. I can't wait to show you where I've gone next and what I really wish to see.

The Hamner Institute for Health Sciences
New26,700 SF, 2-story
Project Complete2004
Construction Cost$7M
This new addition was to the front of the main facility at The Hamner Institute of Health Sciences (formerly CIIT). As an expansion of the biology department, this new laboratory space was to integrate with existing biological research functions on campus; however it stands apart as a recruiting tool to attract world-class researchers. The building layout is centered around interior wet-lab spaces with surrounding exterior scientific office spaces. The new research annex also features numerous fume hoods integrated with a common exhaust system. Because the existing campus infrastructure could not accommodate the new lab annex, an independent system of boilers, chillers, pumps, fans, electrical switchgear and generators was designed. Redundancy in nearly every system was also designed to help safe-guard the sensitive laboratory research in spite of equipment or utility failures. Engineered systems included plumbing, lab gases, fire sprinkler, HVAC, power, lighting, fire alarm, telecommunications and emergency power (755kW generator).

City Council will vote on whether they should appeal the Planning Commission's decision on a duplex project in Capistrano Beach at their Sept. 19 meeting.
The proposed project involves construction of detached duplex at 34466 Via Verde and demolition of a single-family residence and construction of a detached duplex at 34468 Via Verde.
The project, if upheld, will consist of two detached dwelling units on each of the two contiguous parcels that are approximately 2,500 square feet. Each will have four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
The project was heard at two Planning Commission meetings and was tabled the first time. The second time, Planning Commission voted 5-0 in support of the project.
Dana Point residents have been voicing their concerns with the project by submitting Letters to the Editor to the Dana Point Times and collecting signatures for a petition.
According to the staff report, in a letter addressed to the City Clerk, the appeal is based "primarily on design compatibility and enhancements items (b) massing and bulk and (d) scale and proportion."
The letter also states the previous staff report should have compared the proposed project with the "residential scale of the neighborhood."
Other letters in the staff report indicate concerns over traffic, parking, additional drainage and more.
Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet and occupants within 100 feet of the site, according to the staff report.
The Council may grant the appeal, overturn the decision of the Planning Commission and remand the application to staff with direction to prepare an alternate resolution.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 19 at the Dana Point Community Center at 6 p.m.

Graphs, Dioids and Semirings
New Models and Algorithms
Part of the Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces book series (ORCS, volume 41)
Part of the Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces book series (ORCS, volume 41)
The origins of Graph Theory date back to Euler (1736) with the solution of the celebrated 'Koenigsberg Bridges Problem'; and to Hamilton with the famous 'Trip around the World' game (1859), stating for the first time a problem which, in its most recent version – the 'Traveling Salesman Problem' -, is still the subject of active research. Yet, it has been during the last fifty years or so—with the rise of the electronic computers—that Graph theory has become an indispensable discipline in terms of the number and importance of its applications across the Applied Sciences. Graph theory has been especially central to Theoretical and Algorithmic Computer Science, and Automatic Control, Systems Optimization, Economy and Operations Research, Data Analysis in the Engineering Sciences. Close connections between graphs and algebraic structures have been widely used in the analysis and implementation of efficient algorithms for many problems, for example: transportation network optimization, telecommunication network optimization and planning, optimization in scheduling and production systems, etc.
The primary objectives of GRAPHS, DIOÏDS AND SEMIRINGS: New Models and Algorithms are to emphasize the deep relations existing between the semiring and dioïd structures with graphs and their combinatorial properties, while demonstrating the modeling and problem-solving capability and flexibility of these structures. In addition the book provides an extensive overview of the mathematical properties employed by "nonclassical" algebraic structures, which either extend usual algebra (i.e., semirings), or correspond to a new branch of algebra (i.e., dioïds), apart from the classical structures of groups, rings, and fields.

Frank Zappa
Over-nite Sensation/ Apostrophe(') (Classic Albums)
Similar Titles
Frank Zappa is an American composer and musician of such breadth and prolific output - 60 albums - that fans differ constantly about the contenders for his Classic Album. What is agreed is that over 30 years of work, Zappa's records embraced Rock, Jazz, Funk, Blues, Doo Wop, and Classical influences and lyrically most were tinged with sufficient degrees of humour, satire and wry political observation and exuded excellent musicianship and faultless production. The two albums which encapsulate this cornucopia of musicality perfectly are Over-nite Sensation (1973) and Apostrophe(!) (1974). As his son Dweezil Zappa tells us in this film 'this is where you go to find every aspect of Frank's music squeezed into two perfectly formed records'. They were also the most commercially successful albums he released.
By use of interviews, musical demonstration, rare and unseen archive footage and home movies and live performances the programme tells the story behind the conception and recording of these groundbreaking albums. We will discover how Frank Zappa created both the albums with the help of a crack team of musicians including, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ian and Ruth Underwood and Bruce Fowler and Engineer Kerry McNabb. Frank's wife Gail and children Dweezil, Moon, and Ahmet throw essential light onto living with a musical genius. Musician, actor and fan, Billy Bob Thornton, Alice Cooper, guitarists Steve Vai and Warren Cucurullo, add insight to Frank as a musician, composer and band leader and Zappa Plays Zappa re-create some of the classic tracks from these albums.
Frank arrived in Los Angeles in 1964 already with a great knowledge of Studio recording techniques, joined local band the Soul Giants and changed their name to the Mothers (finally to be called the Mothers Of Invention to appease conservative record executives). Their double album Freak Out released in 1966, was a stunning debut. Records were released in rapid succession. The almost completely instrumental solo album 'Hot Rats' in 1969 hit new heights of excellence with 'Peaches En Regalia' a classic track and Frank's guitar playing elevating him into the top echelons of guitar players.
Frank loved playing live. On tour Frank was constantly composing and trying out new ideas. In a typical year Zappa would spend six months touring, and the rest of the time would be spent recording new music. In 1972 it was during a break in one of these fertile tours that Frank began the recording sessions that would form the basis of both Over-nite Sensation and Apostrophe.
Over-nite Sensation would prove to be his most successful album to date.We feature such Zappa classics as Camarillo Brillo, Dinah-Moe Humm, I'm the Slime, and Montana. Dweezil Zappa examines the multi-track tapes from the sessions and uncovers little known facts (Tina Turner providing backing vocals) and never before heard out-takes from songs. Frank was quick to capitalise upon its success and soon had the band back in the studio to record additional songs for the follow up album Apostrophe(!). It was a Gold Album success and featured songs that were a staple of Franks live shows for years to come. Included here are Cosmik Debris, Uncle Remus, and Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, a song which also give Frank his first 'hit single'.
The canvas of Rock and Roll always seemed too small for Zappa's musical aspirations, but these albums brought together material that combined lyrical sophistication, surreal imagery, catchy melodies, classic ballads and great blues. This programme will shed light on the under-rated musicianship and often-unsung genius that is Frank Zappa.

For whatever reason, CBS has found its way to the top of the networks, and it's not shy of reminding us constantly of that sad fact. Why people are watching the bulk of CBS programming is beyond me. How many crime dramas can you watch before they all seem the same? Three CSIs and two NCISes? How uncreative is that? I'm also confused about why people want to watch comedies that star Bill Shatner or Charlie Sheen. Two and a Half Men is not bad: it's abysmal.
All these crappy shows made me even more surprised to find The Big Bang Theory (TBBT), which is both hilarious and brilliant. The characters and plots are unique. The writing is sharp and witty. All of the actors excel in their respective roles. In short, TBBT is one of the best shows on television currently and a big part of why Thursday night is the best night on TV. It is one third of the comedy three-headed monster; the other two are NBC's 30 Rock and, of course, The Office. Big Bang is so good that J and I have been forced to all but stop watching Community, which is another great show.
Indeed, the aforementioned trio of brilliant shows are some of the few programs that the wife and I consider appointment television. However, no one can watch his or her favorite shows every time they are on. We missed last week's Big Bang Theory, but I wasn't too sad because I figured I could watch it on CBS's website. That is what I do whenever I'm unfortunate enough to miss The Office or 30 Rock because NBC is smart enough to put full episodes of its programs online. I was disappointed to find, however, that cbs.com has clips of TBBT but no complete episodes.
CBS, let me take you aside here for a moment. How has it not occurred to you that your audience will find its shows on your website if you put them there? If you are worried about decreased TV audience, simply upload the episodes after they air. Also, how is NBC doing so well with so much of its programs online? Furthermore, think of the advertising revenue. You air commercials on TV, but they are fleeting. Ads online last as long as you like, and you can sell the rights again and again.
Most importantly, having your shows online helps maintain audience loyalty. Fans of your shows want to keep abreast with developments, and they cannot schedule their lives around your TV schedule. This is the online era; put your content online. I might find an alternate route for watching last week's TBBT, but I would have been delighted to visit your website, CBS, instead.
I hope that all networks will upload full episodes of their programs in time. Until that happens, CBS's unwillingness to cater to its fans by putting shows online is just another example of its subpar modus operandi.

Kilometer 30 967: a depressive journey to a depressive capital
Hitchhiking in the back of a pick-up car.
Wind in your hair, panoramic views, environmentally friendly air con. A feeling almost as good as galloping on a horse back…
It called for an Asian sort of downpour to make us give up our favourite South East Asian means of transport and settle for a long distance bus to Phnom Penh.
In the next 8 hours we will regret it 4 times.
First time: the driver turned on the radio.
Throughout the weeks spent on the island, I led a guerilla fight with the Khmer staff, who very eagerly lay their hands on youtube and bombarded us sadistically with pieces like this one:
Well, it turns out that it was not just a hit on the island and during 8 hours one can play the three favourite songs many a time. Loudly.
Second time: the driver turned on the air conditioning. That's great! – one would exclaim. Well, let's shout while we can, as we'll get off the bus with sore throat and/or bronchitis.
Third time: the driver bent time and space. We look at the map, follow the blue dot on gps, watch the time, even catch a glance of the speedometer. According to all logic, 220km on this moderately bumpy road shouldn't take more than 4 hours. As already mentioned above, the number was 8. Eight.
Fourth time: the driver arrived in Phnom Penh. We knew the city was dusty, loud, dirty and depressive – and it didn't disappoint us.
But we also knew that a visit in the capital is a valuable history lesson on the bloody Khmer Rouge regime and that the genocide museum and the killing fields are mandatory points on the map of Cambodia.
The present only adds to the depressive history: the prime minister since 1985 is a former Khmer Rouge commander who fled to Vietnam during purges. He came back to serve his country's best interest, all bleached by the Vietnamese government. It shouldn't surprse anyone that significant areas of Cambodian jungle are being reclaimed and whole villages are being resettled for the sake of Vietnamese investments.
Our hosts willingly told us about the details of those ventures, only very quietly, since their windows face the headquarters of the Vietnamese secret service…

A proposed Marina del Rey project was withdrawn at the applicant's request during a November 5th hearing of the California Coastal Commission in Long Beach.
The project, the Holiday Harbor—Panay Way Marina LP (Parcels 21/OT), was before the Coastal Commission for consideration of a coastal development permit for dock replacement when it was announced that the project would be heard after the lunch break. But some of the commissioners had planned not to return after the break.
Santos Kreimann, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors, made a request to withdraw the project on behalf of the co-applicant, Goldrich and Kest, because the applicant wanted all of the commission members present when the project came up for discussion.
The Department of Beaches and Harbors is the co-applicant for this parcel and Parcel OT, the Oceana Retirement Facility for senior care.
Kreimann was told that withdrawing the project meant that "the clock would start over" for rescheduling the project to be heard before the commission. He then requested that when the project was again before the commission that the hearing would take place in Southern California to allow concerned parties to attend.
The next meeting in Southern California by the coastal commission could be as soon as January or February, according to Kreimann.
The Holiday Harbor-Panay Way project was recently heard by the Regional Planning Commission in Marina del Rey, and after hearing an outpouring of concerns by local residents, the commission scheduled a second meeting to give the county staff and the applicant time to answer questions that had come up during the meeting.
This second meeting was held October 21st in downtown Los Angeles, where Regional Planning staff gave a presentation on the proposed project.
The applicant and members of the public provided testimony, with opponents of the Holiday Harbor project expressing their opposition to the project that was also addressed at the Marina del Rey meeting.
The October 21st meeting was continued to address issues from the public and for staff to address issues raised in a letter from the Department of Toxic Substances Control to the Regional Planning Commission. The meeting also allowed for the cases to be heard sequentially with the proposed project on Parcels 9U (Woodfin Suites Hotel) and Parcels 10/FF (Legacy Apartments and Anchorage), according to an October 29th letter to the Regional Planning Commission from Samuel Dea, head of the special projects section of the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning.
At the October 21st meeting, the project hearing was continued to February 10th, but following the meeting, planning staff received a letter from Beaches and Harbors staff requesting that an earlier hearing date be considered, stated Dea's letter.
The Regional Planning Commission then directed the planning staff to consider at the November 4th meeting to allow the commission an opportunity to discuss the possibility of changing the February 10th hearing date, Dea said.
In an October 27th letter from Kreimann to the Regional Planning Commission, he said that the commission had lost its quorum at the October 21st meeting, preventing the applicants from answering the commission's questions.
"The department [Beaches and Harbors] was ready and able to answer those questions the day of the hearing, and believes that had a response to those questions been made, the commission would have been satisfied with the answers," stated Kreimann.
He requested a hearing date of December 9th for this item and said Beaches and Harbors could provide a presentation on the Right-Sizing Parking Study if the commission felt it would be of assistance.
The public hearing for this project before the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission was officially rescheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, December 16th at the Hall of Records, Room 150, 320 W. Temple St., Los Angeles. The draft environmental impact report (DEIR) associated with this project will also be considered.
Kreimann's letter continues, "Although the rationale for the long hearing continuance was the loss of public parking, in fact this item does not eliminate public parking at all. The proposed projects are staggered in terms of implementation, and replace every space that is currently on the ground, albeit with respect to 94 spaces in a different location more convenient to users of Mothers Beach.
"We do not believe that the issues presented are the same. Additionally, we will incorporate into the final EIR our pro-forma response to the comments made in the Department of Toxic Substances Control's October 12th letter to the Department of Regional Planning," Kreimann's letter said.
The Holiday Harbor Courts, proposed for two phases, would consist of a five-story, 29,300-square foot mixed-use building (health club, yacht club, retail and marine office), an 87-slip marina, and a 28-foot-wide waterfront promenade and pedestrian plaza. Phase II would have the westernmost portion of the land revert to the county for public parking.
Goldrich & Kest Industries has an affiliate that is the prospective lessee of Parcel OT that would encompass a 114-unit senior care facility with public access from Washington Boulevard and Admiralty Way.
As part of this parcel's development plan, a portion of the required replacement public parking is proposed to be in a parking garage to be constructed on the Holiday Harbor parcel.
In addition, Beaches and Harbors wants to reacquire a portion of the Holiday Harbor parcel to expand a county-owned public parking lot serving Marina (Mothers) Beach, and an agreement was negotiated with Goldrich & Kest for the redevelopment of the Holiday Harbor parcel.
A Marina del Rey Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment is required to allow the proposed use, as well as a parking permit for the senior care facility and a parking permit to allow some replacement of public parking off-site, according to county documentation.
Two coastal development permits are required for this project — one for the landside development from the Department of Regional Planning and the other from the California Coastal Commission for the waterside development.
Two of a number of speakers opposed to the project are David Barish and Nancy Vernon Marino, co-directors of We ARE Marina del Rey.
Speaking against the Holiday Harbor project at each of the meetings along with other local residents, Barish and Marino put together a document outlining the reasons they want the Coastal Commission to deny a coastal development permit for the project.
The following claims are from the written statement that Barish and Marino presented to members of the California Coastal Commission:
1. The hearing of this coastal development permit is premature and out of order because the landside portion of Parcel 21 is one of the "roadmap pipeline projects" requiring an LCP amendment by the Coastal Commission in 2011.
2. The slip sizing study hasn't been reviewed or approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors or the Department of Regional Planning.
3. The Marina del Rey Design Control Board hasn't reviewed or approved the current Parcel 21 landside project, which calls for the Marina's first parking structure, a private, six-story, 447-space structure on waterfront property.
4. The coastal development permit hasn't been approved in concept by Regional Planning.
5. The two proposed dry stack storage facilities, which would purportedly mitigate loss of wet slips, haven't been approved, and are in a very early regulatory phase.
6. A proposed commercial/retail project on the public boat launch ramp and mast-up storage sites that will have an impact on boaters displaced from small wet slips is included as one of the "roadmap pipeline" projects to be reviewed at a later date.
7. This coastal development permit is being heard prior to a purported comprehensive plan for the waterside portion of the marina to be submitted to the Coastal Commission by Los Angeles County.
8. This coastal development permit is inconsistent with the commission's LCP review recommendation made on January 8th, 2008, that no net slips should be eliminated and no slips of 35 feet and under.
9. The coastal development permit is inconsistent with the public access, recreation and visual impact sections of the California Coastal Act.
10. The slip sizing studies are based in part on studies more than five years old [the Coastal Commission recommends studies no more than five years old] and Esprit I was not included in the study, skewing the results.
11. Coastal Commission staff [in its staff report] has not reviewed or considered feasible alternative dock reconfigurations that would have less impact on coastal resources as required, and mitigation measures are "empty concessions" and don't mitigate adverse impacts on coastal resources.
12. Barish and Marino alleged that approval of the coastal development permit will result in a number of CEQA violations by the Coastal Commission.
13. We ARE Marina del Rey has filed a complaint with the Coastal Commission against the applicant for allegedly violating the Coastal Act for removing small slip renters in the Holiday Harbor Marina in anticipation prior to obtaining a coastal development permit. Information, www.wearemdr.com/.
Kreimann told The Argonaut that even after the docks have been reconfigured, 75 percent of the boat slips in the marina will be 35 feet and under, and that there will always be room for small boats.
Beaches and Harbors is taking its direction from the Coastal Commission, and "finding the balance is the issue," he said.
The California Coastal Commission had requested a boat slip sizing study and Beaches and Harbors have complied with that request.
Regulations by the California Department of Boating and Waterway (DBAW) require American With Disabilities Act (ADA) configured docks, which take away some existing space for boat slips, the addition of pump-out stations added to docks and inclusion of a water taxi also reduces the number of slips, said Kreimann.
He added that it's the responsibility of the director to set policies for boating and to maintain a balance for all boaters, small, medium and large.
The Coastal Commission has approved the reduction of total slips at Dana Point to comply with DBAW standards, noted Kreimann.
"Some people are trying to recreate a 1960s marina, but Marina del Rey has grown up and there is a demand for a larger size boat and beam width," said Kreimann.
"Henry Ford used to say that if you asked people what they wanted, they would have said 'faster horses,'" Kreimann said.

Biographies are an extremely popular genre of literature and the following article gives an introduction to this particular genre.
In general people are interested in other people's lives, a fact that may explain the popularity of talk shows where more or less famous guests are invited to talk about themselves. Actors, writers, film stars and musicians are all sought-after targets for this somewhat indiscrete and tabloid mission. This may also be why the biography is an all-time winner both in literature and on film. Ordinary people seem to have a secret desire to find out what lies behind the fame and success of these people.
appreciation, snooping, insatiable, approval, intriguing, profound, to pen, dodgy, impact, potent, casting, impersonation, posture
Facts – not Fiction
Strictly speaking a biography is no more than a record of a person's life, and is in literary terms classified as non-fiction. But the facts recorded may still be of value when we want to understand fiction, because getting insight into a writer's life may give us a broader appreciation of his writing. The circumstances that influenced the author during his life either on a personal or a social level will most likely be reflected in his writing. Much of the European fiction from the mid-1930s was, for example, heavily influenced by the rising Nazi movement in Germany and the overhanging threat of a new war. But one must remember that once a literary text has left the author, it is dead until its universe comes alive in the encounter with the reader; what made the author write it is in most cases of secondary interest. So in that respect a biography is only interesting as a documentation of someone's life.
There are numerous biographies published every year about all kinds of celebrities, and they sell by the million. People look for intimate revelations and juicy details from the private lives of people that in some way have become famous. One reason for this rather snooping curiosity may be that people simply want to get more intimately acquainted with someone that means a lot to them and they feel they know, but only from a distance. Writing a full biography takes enormous research, but the work will probably pay off as the market seems insatiable. If the biography is unauthorized, that is if the person portrayed has not given the biographer his approval, the story will probably sell even more.
My Own Story
The autobiography is a slightly more intriguing sub-genre of this kind of literature. When a person relates his own life it becomes even more intimate and personal. When some famous person wants to tell his own story we listen. The personal memoirs of famous people will not only include the biographical facts, but also private reflections which may lead to a more profound understanding of the artist or the politician behind their glamorous façade. But writing a good autobiography takes narrative talent, so often the "writer" will work with a professional author or journalist to pen his story. But that is not always the case. Rock stars like Bob Dylan (Chronicles) and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards (Life) display surprisingly good narrative talent in their autobiographies. The memoirs of retired politicians may have the potential to be explosive as they may reveal dodgy dealings within the political system, such as corruption. But usually an experienced politician will know how to go about it tactfully in order not to stir the opposition, and to preserve his own reputation and integrity.
Famous Figures on Film
We have seen them all – J.F. Kennedy, Picasso, Gandhi, Chaplin, Hitler, to mention a few. The filmed biography is in a way more potent than a written biography, because, first of all, film has in general a stronger impact than literature due to its visual effects, and secondly, seeing is believing. What we can see tends to become truer than what we read, even though we know that it is an enacted feature film and not a documentary. This leaves the film director with a huge responsibility; the way his protagonist is presented will go down in history as the truth. Many of these filmed biographies are heavily criticised afterwards; critics claim that they present the person in an either too flattering light or in a way that does not correspond with reality and historical facts. So the film director has the power to manipulate the audience and to rewrite history, which is a somewhat questionable project. And we must remember that if this is a Hollywood production, which it usually is, it has to comply with the rules of the trade to become a box office winner. This is probably why the film about Picasso was called Picasso's Women and the film about Chaplin focused more on his affairs with women than on his films and artistic talent.
Another challenge for the makers of biographical films is the casting. For the film to be trustworthy it is crucial to find an actor whose physical features are as close to the "real McCoy" as possible. A true re-enacting of the face and figure of a historical person is essential for such a film to work and to be seen as the historical document it pretends to be. Ben Kingsley was a good Gandhi lookalike, and Robert Downing jr gave life to Charlie Chaplin in a most credible way. Other examples are Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II and Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher. Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde (Wilde) with his long hair and extravagant style is also a brilliant impersonation, and so is Bruno Ganz as Hitler in Der Untergang. The make-up crew on the film set really can work miracles, and when the actors do their job on deportment and accent, these films actually come close to good documentaries and are acclaimed both by the audience and the reviewers.
- Why do you think an unauthorised biography would sell more than an authorised one?
- Why is an autobiography more intriguing than a biography?
- Do you know of examples of political memoirs that have caused a stir when they were published?
- What does it mean that a Hollywood production has to comply with "the rules of the trade"? What are these rules?
- Go on the net and find trailers or clips from film biographies of famous people, for example those mentioned in the article, and compare the looks of the artist to pictures of the real person. What do you think?
- Check the net for reviews of the latest biographical films about Margaret Thatcher (focus on the 2011 version: The Iron Lady) or King George VI (focus on The King's Speech).

MILWAUKEE—The Pfister Hotel, the flagship property of Marcus Hotels & Resorts, a division of The Marcus Corporation, located here will be the first hotel in the U.S. to offer an augmented reality (AR) tour available to guests. Guests will be able to download an AR application from their smartphone that will prompt them on a guided tour of the hotel's art collection.
At launch, 10 of the items in the hotel's art collection will be interactive, with the goal of adding additional pieces in the coming months. The tour provides a real-time, digital, full motion experience for guests, featuring games, videos and other graphics. The app is free and is available for download on www.pfisterAR.com where guests can learn about the tour and how it works. The app will also be available on the Apple Store and Google Play, and can be used on any smartphone or Epson or Google Glass wearable.
"We now have the ability to provide millennials and tech-savvy guests the opportunity to connect and engage with a 120 year old hotel in a modern format. What a perfect way to visually learn about the story behind the pieces and engage with the items that make this historic hotel so unique. Many guests of the Pfister are interested in the stories and history behind this landmark hotel – AR will help us tell those stories better than ever before. We are excited to be the first hotel to offer a state-of-the-art augmented reality tour such as this and hope to expand the technology to other locations in the future," said Chris Anderson, SVP of Marcus Hotels & Resorts.
Augmented reality, a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented, or supplemented, by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data, is gaining popularity among marketers. "AR is a creative way to capture our customer's attention, and allows them to see our brand in a new way and engage with us on a completely new level," added Anderson.

There's an exquisite little show called Read and Worn on exhibit. Five artists craft stunning, wearable art from vintage books. Jeremy May's work was particularly fascinating – not only is the jewelry cut from the books polished and finished to perfection – but the carvings out of the books become works of art in their own right.
Pictures tell the story best. Run, don't walk – the show closes on 24 april.

The week behind us has proven to be another busy one with hundreds of outdoor users being tracked. Here are some of the incidents that were attended to.
On Monday afternoon, a member of our Paragliding Tracking group reported a fire on the lower slopes of Lion's Head, just above the residential area on the Clifton side. Fire Services were in attendance, and we put in a request for the traffic department to manage the road which was congested as a result.
A safety alert was put out to inform hikers of the situation, as well as pilots of the paragliding fraternity. The fire was successfully taken care of by the on-scene fire crews.
Later in the afternoon, we were asked by the Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS) whether we were tracking any hikers in the Northern section of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). VWS received reports of smoke blowing down into the Camps Bay area.
We contacted some of our subscribers on Lion's Head, Platteklip Gorge and India Venster and asked them whether they saw and/or smelt any smoke in the area. They confirmed smoke, which was relayed to VWS.
Later in the evening, one of our members on the Paragliding Tracking team reported that there were two small fires, one on Devil's Peak, and the other on the front face of Table Mountain. This was as a result of the lightning. The necessary services were then notified.
On Wednesday morning, again from the Paragliding Safety team, a report of a different fire lower down on Devil's Peak was received. The necessary services were once again informed

Superpowers Are For Real!
"You sure are quiet back there," I said, looking at my 8 year-old guy through my rear-view mirror. My son has inherited my gift of gab, so silence lasting longer than two minutes prompts immediate questioning.
"Are you OK?"
We had just left unicycle practice early to pick up a load for our small store, deliver it then head out to a concert that our girls were playing at an assisted living facility in a neighboring city. Coming off of yet another busy day the day before, I figured he was probably pretty tired.
I watched as he gathered his thoughts, unprepared for the unorthodox statement he was about to make.
"You know, you can only levitate if you have the Holy Spirit."
My eyes widened with this unusual observation that seemed to come out of nowhere. Unsure of what to say, I couldn't help but smile.
"You're so right," I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. I mean, I think that only the Holy Spirit can give us superpowers. What other ones can we have?"
I had to think for a second about that one.
"Well, we can bilocate. Many saints have been documented doing that, like St. Martin de Porres."
"What's that?" he asked, getting excited.
"Well, it's when a person is documented to be at more than one place at one time."
We talked a little more about this concept and then moved on to other superpower possibilities. Interestingly, almost every power he could come up with that might be found in a modern marvel movie could be equated with the workings and gifts of the Holy Spirit. As often happens, a statement from the faith of a child precipitated an incredible conversation that explored our faith in ways I would never have considered.
To speak in his lingo, it was very cool.
I realized after I got home that our conversation had occurred on the weekend of the birthday of Christianity: the Feast of Pentecost. Suddenly, the conversation had become even cooler.
You see, I love Pentecost. It is AWESOME. Literally.
Having a deep desire to play my part in changing the world and bringing the Good News of Christ to a thirsty world, I take the story very personally. I love to envision myself on both sides. How amazing it would have been to be on the side of the Apostles so filled with the Holy Spirit that their fear of mortal danger and rejection was replaced with a burning fire to spread His love, literally converting thousands of people from countless ethnic and religious backgrounds. And then to be on the side of the traveler, confused and in awe of the language barrier that was suddenly and magically broken, allowing any listener within earshot to hear the Apostles' words in his/her own language. Would I have believed immediately, or would I have needed time to process and work through the mysterious happenings I had just experienced?
Either way, today I am part of that story, as the Holy Spirit continues to fill and move me to search for Him and spread His truth and love. We are all part of that story, whether we know it or not.
Where are you at in your relationship with the Holy Spirit? Given the carnal nature of God-made-man, Jesus tends to be an easier person of the Trinity to develop an intimacy with. This was the case for me until just the last couple of years, when the Holy Spirit made Himself more known to me. Getting closer to the third person in the Trinity has been an unexpected and crazy journey, and one that I hope to reveal more about as I blog here in the future.
For now, I urge you to take a leap of faith and pursue the Holy Spirit, if you haven't already. For certain, if you are open to His promptings, you will experience life in a way that you never have before.
God bless you in this journey! The Trinity is so intense and deep, offering unfathomable love, wisdom, and peace in more ways than we could ever come in contact with on this earth. Let's work together to step out in faith, becoming all that were created to be!

Forest Dwellers, Forest Protectors
Indigenous Models for International Development
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
The Guarani of Paraguay have survived over four centuries of contact with the commercial system, while keeping in tact their traditions of leadership, religion and kinship. This concise ethnography examines how the Guarani have adapted over time, in concert with Paraguay's subtropical forest system.
New To This Edition:
- Expanded historical background and updated demographic information on the Guarani brings the research to the present day (Chapter 1).
- Expands and strengthens the discussion of "sustainability" to include more recent advances in the concept (Chapter 1), and introduces the idea of "subsidy from nature" into the discussion of conventional tropical development (Chapter 3).
- Develops the discussion of women's labor in horticulture (Chapter 3).
- Analyzes the effects of indigenous mixed agro-forestry in stemming the high rates of Paraguayan deforestation of the 1990s (Chapter 4).
- Discusses the recent globalization of the yerba mate market, and the economy's effecton Paraguay's protected areas (Chapter 4).
- Describes Guarani ethnic federations as a means to engage the national and international political institutions (Chapter 4).
- Explores the rapid growth in Guarani population in native communities, which results from lower infant mortality, more land pressure and more reliable census data (Chapter 4).
This brief introductory text makes the ideal supplementary text for students of anthropology.
Richard Reed is Professor of Anthropology at Trinity University, USA. He studies the effects of deforestation on indigenous groups in the forests of South America. Over the last fifteen years, he has been working with Guarani villages on the frontier of expanding colonization and agriculture in Paraguay. In two of his books, Prophets of Agroforestry (1995) and Forest Residents and Forest Managers, (1997) Reed proposes indigenous models of land use as alternative strategies for sustainable development in forested regions.

Up For Air
It's mid afternoon and I'm sitting in a conference room working while thinking of a homework assignment that was due Sunday but I'm hoping to have completed tonight. In the midst of that thought I remember that I have a proposal due by Thursday and I need to enroll to take the last two tests for my certification. Around about that last thought is where I decided to step back and take a break, entirely too much to think about doing for the moment. What I am most looking forward to is a much-needed vacation I'll be taking next month. It will be nice to be unavailable and having a great time while doing it. I'm also looking forward to my birthday this year. While I have no clue what I'll end up doing, it's been fun sneaking in time to look a the travel sites.
Life is… hmm… Life is fine for me… for now. I previously felt I was in a season of transition and I still believe that I'm there. I'm getting lots of things accomplished which means I don't have lots of free time on my hands but the important thing is that I'm still moving forward. I am happy with who I am though I know that I have lots of work to do to get to where I'd like to be. Well physically anyway. I've been making very conscious decisions about my health. I looked in my fridge the other day and realized that with the exception of an old empty pack of bacon, there wasn't any meat in site. My freezer is full of Fruttare popsicle treats (I'm addicted), a few Morningstar products and some Boca burgers. Absent of meat. My fridge is full of nothing but fruits and veggies. All while I was at work yesterday I daydreamed of going home to make a peanut butter smoothie. It was sooooooooooooooooooo delicious. I'm serious. The way I teased that spoon with my tongue would make you shudder LOL. Now if I can just coerce myself to actually hit the pavement running in the evenings. I know that exercise is an important part of losing weight, i'm working on it. 🙂
Artistically my craft is changing… yet again. For quite some time I put limitation on my craft. Based what I wrote on what I had or what resources would become readily available. I've always had to make a miracle out of fifteen cents. I've released those limitations. Well, I honestly didn't realize that I was doing that until I sat down recently to begin working on a new play and my thoughts and decisions for characters were based on who I thought I would have available to act. How long had I been doing that? When did that begin? Hopefully this will open up this creative block.
I don't know if I can truly say I'm having writers block. I write/train at work all day and when I come home, I sit straight down to my desk to do homework. Most nights I'm doing homework until right before midnight and then it's time to prepare for the next day. The last thing I want to do those days is sit down to write on a new poem or play… BUT…. I am working on two really amazing plays. If I can just sneak in some time for martini's, music, and a date with my imagination. Soon come.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures to Treat Scars
Skin is a delicate organ and any injury, burn, or other trauma can cause scars. If the scar is big or in a prominent location, people may often wonder whether there are options to help reduce the size or make it less visible. Read on to learn about non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including acne treatment.
Before we discuss the treatment methods, let us take a look at the common reasons for scarring and understand the different types of scars.
How Do Scars Appear?
Scars are the outcome of a healing process after an injury or surgery. They form when the dermis or the thick layer of skin gets damaged. They mostly appear as a result of the natural process of wound repair in the skin when the body produces collagen fibres. The size and appearance of a scar depends on the size, depth, and location of the injury.
4 Common Types of Scars
- Keloid Scars
Keloid scars are common among people who have dark skin. They are often a result of an aggressive and dynamic healing process after an injury. It helps to use gel pads with silicone or pressure treatment to prevent the formation of keloid scars.
- Contracture Scars
Contracture scars form when your skin gets burned. They often tighten your skin, making it difficult for you to move that area of your body. Sometimes, they may also affect muscles and nerves, which is why it is essential to get professional help immediately when you have contracture scars.
- Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scars are raised, red blemishes that are similar to keloids. Treatments include using silicone sheets to flatten them or injections of steroids that can help reduce inflammation.
- Acne Scars
Severe cases of acne often cause scarring and are referred to as acne scars. These scars range from deep pits to wavelike or angular appearance. Although there are non-surgical cosmetic procedures available to treat them, the best option depends on the types of acne scars you have. View our blog to learn more about the procedure to treat acne scarring.
Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures to Treat Scars
- Creams, Gels or Ointments
Over the counter or prescription products can help treat scars caused by cuts or other wounds. It helps to consult your doctor and ask them for recommendations about scar and acne treatments. They can guide you by suggesting suitable products and monitor the usage to ensure that you do not have any unwanted side effects.
- Injections
It helps to get steroid injections in case of scars such as keloids or hypertrophic scars. If required, your doctor may also use them with other treatments. In addition to this, injections such as collagen may help you treat pitted scarring.

However, the highlight of the month was certainly KPS's first ever school production in which Sixth Form and Lower School pupils joined together and delivered a fantastic performance of an adaptation of Erich Kästner's Emil and the Detectives. This was an incredible opportunity for everyone who took part to make use of the school's purpose-built theatre space with full lighting and sound equipment to the fullest, from designing the stage to all the behind-the-scenes work. The combination of outstanding performances, wonderful designs and creative music and lighting resulted in an overall brilliant production. We would like to thank everyone who took part and look forward seeing more productions in the future! Click here to see more photos. Blog Events News Share Tweet

For our patients, kidney stones come with pain and health complications. How are kidney stones complicating your life?
Whether you've just learned that you have kidney stones too large to pass or are suspicious that pain you're experiencing stems from kidney stones trying to exit your body, you need to seek out urological care. Getting treated can ensure that complications, pain, and additional stones can be avoided if possible. Learn more about kidney stones and Urology One's approach to your care here.
While you may have kidney stones that are putting your health at risk, this condition doesn't always require invasive surgery or for you to painfully pass them through your urinary system. You have options, and you are not alone. Learn more about Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) below or schedule your appointment with Urology One today to put an end to your kidney stone worries and pain.Request an Appointment
Kidney stones, which come in four forms (calcium, uric acid, struvite, cystine), are mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys. As they try to find a way out of your body, they wreak havoc on your urinary tract system, which was created to transport fluid, not stones.
Kidney stones can transform from a minor inconvenience to an emergency in an instant. More than 500,000 people in the US make trips to emergency rooms each year due to kidney stone pain (1). Even when they don't result in an emergency, leaving your kidney stones untreated can result in a wide range of side effects, including:
Whatever your symptoms, there are treatments available to treat your stones. Commit to improving your health and ridding your body of painful and disruptive kidney stones.
Not all kidney stones require surgery. For stones that can be treated externally, ESWL can target and send shock waves into your kidney to destroy the stones, breaking them into tiny pieces that can pass through the body with less pain than larger stones.
ESWL is:
ESWL takes approximately an hour to complete, and you will be positioned on padding or placed in water while shock waves pass through your body, targeting the exact location of your kidney stone(s). You can expect to resume normal daily activities almost immediately. Drinking an increased amount of water and resting after the procedure is recommended to assist the kidney stones in passing after being broken into smaller pieces.
To learn if ESWL could be an effective treatment for you, and to discuss potential complications, side effects, and benefits of ESWL, schedule your appointment with Urology One today.
Under the guidance of Dr. Steven Ochs, Urology One administers ESWL to patients. Urology One will not only help you pulverize and pass your kidney stones with proper treatment, but help you understand what steps need to be taken to prevent kidney stones from returning in the future. Dr. Ochs is known for providing an excellent patient experience and for answering all your questions.

Cup Walking Considerations in Welding Technology
As you are aware, TIG welding comprises of the electrode, current, filler material, and the electrode holder like any other welding procedure.The electrode consists of some type of Tungsten by which the electric current is carried to the metals that are to be fused together. Then the electricity and gas are there for blending together in this process.
The traditional methods of TIG welding demands maintenance of a consistent arc length and to dab filler metal in the weld puddle. This can be tedious and frustrating for the person. Continuously changing angles for the dynamics of welding on pipe is another impediment. The welding person is hard put to create quality welds under these conditions.
But using the cup walking technique is tremendously helpful. In this technique, the nozzle of the TIG torch rests right on the pipe with the filler metal placed in the groove. There is decidedly more arc stability and greater comfort, permitting the operator to change positions more easily. The fact is welding persons can use cup walk method on any type of pipe or other materials barring aluminum as the melting temperature of aluminum is low.
The specific power source settings for cup walking depends largely on the thickness of the material being welded, inter-pass temperatures and the heat input requirements of the given weld procedure. Operators need higher amperage settings for thicker materials, but for the open groove TIG joints present on pipe, setting the power source in a range of 90 to 110 amps works well on most materials.
Walking the cup is a technique should be welcomed by all pipe fitters as it enables the welder to travel long distances uninterruptedly and thus uniformly progress the weld. But some TIG welders avoid walking the cup technique mostly because they are ignorant of this unique application. Of course, there may be occasions when you will not be able to walk the cup.
Sometimes the slowness of the cup walking technique (due to cup changing) may influence the operators to avoid the process. However, it is to be noted that the advantages of walking the cup far outweigh the potential problems. With adequate training and practice, learning to walk-the-cup can become aninvaluable skill and application for use in a wide range of industries.
Walking the cup can be immensely advantageous for two reasons. Firstly, a pipe can get terribly hot and if the welder is somewhat negligent, he can burn his rig hand fingers - the key hand one uses to operate the welding rig. Secondly, there will be times when the welder can cover more ground by walking the cup than by manipulating the weld puddle by hand alone. If a professional welder can become proficient in walk the cup method, he can certainly add this to his armoury of welding techniques.
But the truth is cup walking technique is highly specified and requires intensive practice and skill on the part of the operator. For walking the cup, it is critical to completely align the pieces of pipe and tack them up to make certain that they do not shift while welding. Techniques for tacking also depend on the size of pipes. After tacking, the operators should grind the tack to a feathered edge to assure that solid tie-in is achieved during the root pass procedure. It is necessary to choose the appropriate diameter of filler metal for the specific groove joint.
