Animal Drawing
Yesterday my Animal Drawing Class returned to the Franklin Institute to do more animal drawings from the animals they have on display in their diorama's. This was our second trip and we were supposed to concentrate on heads and legs. Here is a bunch of sketches that I did, most in pencil but the water buffalo was drawn with a prisma color.
The displays are good, but the animals have the frozen look you have to try and overcome while drawing them. For me the best animal drawing by artists like Bob Kuhn have a life to them that makes them leap off the page. Just like drawings of the human figure, accuracy at the expense of life/energy just leaves me flat. next week we are supposed to hit the zoo to do more drawing from life.

your artworks are really great!!

I still continues impressed with the quality of your designs. Drawing animals is one of the most difficult things in this industry, but you have not any problem to do it. I hope when I finish my career at Generic Viagra Drawing Center my abilities have enhanced drastically.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, February 27. WHILE the Notre Dame women dominated the first night of swimming at the Big East Championships, their male counterparts turned a Louisville disqualification into a day-one lead of their own.
The Notre Dame women started the night off right as Emma Reaney (1:45.88), Kelly Ryan (1:45.75), Suzanne Bessire (1:49.05) and Jaime Malandra (1:50.16) won the women's 800-yard free relay with a 7:10.84. Villanova's Hayley Edwards, Roxanne Tammadge, Katrin Heider and Kaisla Kollanus finished second in 7:12.73, while Louisville's Kelsi Worrell, Breann McDowell, Johanna Cowley and Eszter Povazsay claimed third in 7:14.96.
Louisville's Alex Burtch (1:35.95), Joao De Lucca (1:33.06), Albert Lloyd (1:36.60) and Samuel Hoekstra (1:36.72) then clipped the meet record in the men's 800-yard free relay with a 6:22.33. That swim beat the Cardinals' 2012 effort of 6:22.70, and cleared the NCAA A cut. Notre Dame's Frank Dyer, Kevin Hughes, John McGinley and William Bass placed second in 6:23.40, also an NCAA A cut. Pittsburgh's Hussein Medhat-Mohamed, Otto Pagel, Avery Warrington and David Sweeney took third in 6:32.47.
Louisville's men won two straight as Nikolas Sachs topped the men's one-meter diving event with 316.45 points. Notre Dame's Nicholas Nemetz (310.05) and Connecticut's Grant Fecteau (304.45) took second and third.
Notre Dame's women picked up a second win as well as Jennifer Chiang won the women's three-meter diving event with 329.85 points. Louisville's Hannah Gadd (329.00) and Notre Dame's Allison Casareto (320.20) took a close second and third in the event. With the win, Chang became the first diver to ever four-peat the women's three-meter event in Big East history.
The Fighting Irish swept the women's events as Lauren Scott (25.46), Emma Reaney (27.29), Kim Holden (23.40) and Catherine Galletti (22.59) raced to a time of 1:38.74 to win the women's 200-yard medley relay, just missing the conference record and NCAA A cut time. Louisville's Kristina Brandenburg, Gisselle Kohoyda, Tanja Kylliainen and Grite Apanaviciute took second in 1:39.34, while Pittsburgh's Joanna Budzis, Camille Dixon, Veronica Lee and Danielle des Tombe wound up third in 1:41.18.
Louisville then had a tough break with a disqualification in the men's 200-yard medley relay. Notre Dame's Bogac Ayhan (22.37), Cameron Miller (23.73), Frank Dyer (20.58) and Zach Stephens (19.65) won the race in 1:26.33. Pittsburgh's Adam Maczewski, Luke Nosbisch, Kourosh Ahani and Alexander Rodenkirk took second in 1:27.34, while Connecticut's Keith Piper, Lachezar Shumkov, Diguan Pigot and Kyungsoo Yoon earned third in 1:29.98.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State has hired former UCLA coach Larry Farmer as its director of player development for men's basketball.
Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried announced the hiring Thursday.
Farmer had 166 wins in 12 seasons as a head coach at UCLA, Weber State and Loyola of Chicago. He went 61-23 with one NCAA tournament trip while coaching the Bruins from 1981-84.
He spent the past three seasons as an assistant at Western Michigan and was on Hawaii's staff before that.
Gottfried says Farmer "is a proven winner and will add a great deal to our program."

I hate Shyam like why does he have to come bak and I think Shyam and dadi are a team to get Arnav and Khusi separated and like they ruined practically the show but I can't wait for tomorrows episode and where do all of u guys live that comment on the stuff like country not particularly and I think that's y dadi wants to get separation between the 2 Becu shyam probably told her and I'm starting to hate Anjali as well Becu her brother thought so much of her that's y he got Jim kicked out his house but she doesn't even worry one bit about him all she cares about is shyam and him getting seen
i agree with sjot shyam and dadi are ina team definately and i hate the fat old dadi but i luv kushi and arnav
FUCK kushi n such ARNAV
RM mn to arnav k siwa kisi k pas brain nai ha_
anjali to mad thi hi uper se ye stupid dadi b brain k bagar ha_
anjali blkl hi damag se khali ha_
arnav lones her so much aur wo use cheat kr rhi ha_
aik dafa sirf MU ki waja se anjali ne arnav ko jhoot bolney ka blame kiya tha aur wo khud us se roz jhot bol kr shym se milti ha_aur dadi b damag se farig ha_
waiting for monday epi_mn soch rhi thi k khushi abi blak color nai pehna_

I want to throw my shoe when i saw those 3_ two shaitan and one idiot_ Arnav shld find out abt his di betrayal_
director pls remove the shyam from the serial……__pls _i want to see their happy married life

I don't realy care about d fact dat anjali meets shyam d fing I'm worried iz how arnav will feel knowin dis cuz 4 him hiz sister nd wife r everyfing it will completely shatter him 🙁
all of arshi fans r so pissed wiv shyam dadi nd anjali_ Lyk dey need 2 get a lyf_ Arnav will b so hurt wen he finds out about hiz brainless dii nd over-confident jeeju_
I don't know y dadi iz actin all big cuz wen dey really needed her she dissappeared nd now shez actin lyk she owns dem_
Funny rite_ Anjali uses only her heart nd arnav only hiz brain_ Buh arnav is changing hope anjali does 2_
Cnt wait 4 wen anjali will realize dat shyam waz wrong all along den she can slap him nd kick him out_
Cnt wait 4 arshi 1st date hope itz full of romance nd comedy_
It kind of now seems lyk anjali nd shyam r d main charecters since dey r mainly shown_

Compared to... FujiFilm F50 fd
The T300 offers ISO 1600 and 3200 modes, which is not surprising as high ISO modes have become a headline feature on compacts. Even though most of them aren't any good. Here we compare the T300 to the FujiFilm F50 fd, which is best performing high ISO compact we've encountered that is still available (meaning having to overlook the better-performing but out-of-production FujiFilm F31 fd).
The Fuji has 12 million effective pixels but they are contained on a larger sensor, so each pixel is slightly larger, so each receive slightly more light during any exposure, so it should have a slightly stronger signal to generate its images from.
Studio scene comparison (T300 @ ISO 1600, F50fd @ ISO 1600)
- Sony T300: Program mode, ISO 1600, Default Image Parameters,
Fluorescent 1 white balance, +0.70 EV compensation
- FujiFilm F50 fd: Program mode, ISO 1600, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.70 EV compensation
- Lighting: Daylight simulation, >98% CRI
Sony T300
FujiFilm F50
ISO 1600, 1/1000 sec, F5.6
ISO 1600, 1/900 sec, F5
In a not exactly front-page-holding turn of events, the high sensitivity performance of a tiny sensor crammed with all the pixels Sony could find proves to be pretty awful. The amount of detail retained by the Sony is vastly inferior to the results from the larger-pixelled Fuji. Both images are marred by noise and the destructive effect of noise reduction but the Fuji at least leaves text legible.
As well as having larger pixels, the Fuji also has the decency to stop at ISO 1600. The Sony blunders on to ISO 3200, at which point the results are pitiful. Until there is a major change in the technology, it is unreasonable to divide small sensors into ever small portions (to boost the magic, camera-selling megapixel count), at the same time as expecting them to perform better in low light - the two demands are in direct conflict.

Mayor Mike McGinn
came into office as a self-described change agent who wanted to address global warming and widen the city's sphere of prosperity.
The former Sierra Club activist and lawyer has accelerated planning for light-rail lines to the city's neighborhoods. He's brokered an agreement for court-ordered police reform. And recently he's intervened on behalf of hotel and grocery workers to start a conversation about living-wage jobs.
After former Mayor Greg Nickels' tight control over city government, community leaders and some elected officials have welcomed McGinn's openness. And they point to his quick grasp of city issues and his success managing basics, such as snowstorms, as signs that he's a competent manager of the city's business.
If he gets another term, he says, he intends to continue the initiatives he's begun, such as expanding early-childhood learning and planning for light rail into more neighborhoods.

But over the past four years, McGinn also has alienated city and state leaders who opposed his stance against the deep-bore Highway 99 tunnel and again during prolonged negotiations over police reform. He has alarmed neighborhood advocates who say he's given away too much to developers, and he's left environmentalists, arguably his strongest constituency, divided over his effectiveness.
With less than two weeks until the primary election, McGinn faces eight challengers in a fight for his job. He still enjoys strong support from younger voters and those who see him as a visionary leader trying to reduce the city's carbon footprint. But a recent poll shows him in a statistical dead heat with state Sen. Ed Murray as the race leaders, with Councilmember Bruce Harrell and former Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck
not far behind.
McGinn remains unapologetic about the contentiousness of his first term, saying he wanted to "break up the cement" that surrounded the city's usual way of doing business and open City Hall to people who hadn't had access.
"Some of the attacks I've received for being divisive are because I've brought new people into the discussion. Those who were used to calling the shots didn't have the same amount of influence as they did before," McGinn said.
Councilmember Richard Conlin, who clashed with the mayor over the tunnel, said that unlike Nickels, McGinn hasn't demanded that all council business go through the mayor's office.
"The fact that he's willing to let the council work directly with city staff has made it possible to make progress on a lot of things," Conlin said.
Council President Sally Clark is more skeptical, saying the dynamic McGinn has created at City Hall is one where he calls for big changes and leaves to the council the questions about cost and how to achieve the outcomes.
"Mike's great strength is being a warrior, but that's a very different profile from being a CEO," Clark said.
Police reforms
McGinn's attempts to rewrite the narrative of his first two years in office by portraying himself as a collaborative leader trying to win state funding for transportation and stopping coal trains have been undermined by his public fight with City Attorney Pete Holmes and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) over the breadth and pace of the court-ordered police reforms.
On the campaign trail, McGinn has received the strongest criticism over his leadership of the police department, under a federal consent decree for use of excessive force, often against minorities.
Jennifer Shaw, deputy director of ACLU Washington, who joined with 34 minority community groups in calling for the federal investigation, said McGinn dragged out negotiations at every step.
"He rejected the conclusions of the Department of Justice, he resisted the calls for a court-appointed monitor and when it was clear that a monitor would be required, he very vigorously resisted naming Merrick Bobb," said Shaw, referring to the police-reform expert favored by the DOJ, the City Council and Holmes.
Clark was one of three council members who tried to work with McGinn to craft a settlement agreement. After three months with sharply divergent opinions about how to go forward, the council members withdrew.
"We lost time that could have been spent on reform. Fragile relationships were made even more brittle. And where I was hoping for collaboration and a unified city approach, he said, 'I'll take your input.' "
But some of the community leaders who initially joined in the call for a federal investigation remained strong supporters of McGinn, including Estela Ortega, the director of El Centro de la Raza; Harriett Walden, co-founder of Mothers for Police Accountability; and the late state Rep. Kip Tokuda.
In a letter endorsing the mayor for a second term, they wrote that after decades of lobbying city leaders for reform and seeing no action, "McGinn has been different. He has taken our concerns seriously and worked hard to produce effective, lasting changes to the Seattle Police Department."
Slowing climate change was very much on the mind of candidate McGinn in 2009. His central campaign rallying cry was defeat of the proposed deep-bore tunnel, which he saw as delaying the city's transition to less-polluting alternatives such as buses and light rail.
Shortly before the election, McGinn famously said he would uphold and execute the agreements already in place between the city and state to build the tunnel. Then he spent the next 18 months challenging the project. He accused the people who supported it, including labor unions, some environmentalists and most of the city's elected leaders, of negotiating a backroom deal to replace the Highway 99 viaduct.
He also memorably called a news conference to say Seattle couldn't trust then-Gov. Chris Gregoire's assurances that the city wouldn't be on the hook for cost overruns on the state project.
Gregoire said that she and Nickels had once-a-month meetings to discuss the issues on which they needed each others' help, including education, transportation and social services. Even after McGinn's comments about her regarding the tunnel, she said, her office reached out to the mayor's staff to restart a relationship that she said had served both the city and state well. McGinn didn't respond.
"He wrote off the governor's office," she said.
Dave Freiboth, executive secretary of the King County Labor Council, says McGinn shares many of labor's progressive values and a willingness to act on them, including support for a paid-sick-leave ordinance that went into effect last year. He said that McGinn had a slow transition from advocacy to governance, but that the mayor has recognized his weaknesses and worked to address them.
Still, Freiboth, as one of the supporters of the tunnel project, said that when he and McGinn met to bury the hatchet after city voters overwhelmingly decided to go forward with the tunnel, he felt compelled to remind the mayor about how he characterized tunnel supporters.
"McGinn said something about how the fight had gotten really nasty. I said, 'Yeah, you called me the downtown power elite.' He said, 'No, no, I didn't mean you.' "
Working with labor
Other labor leaders also noted McGinn's growth in the job. Joe McGee, executive director of Local 17, the Professional and Technical Employees union that represents about 2,500 city workers, said McGinn came into office "like a bull in a china shop" who wanted to cut 200 strategic advisers based on their job classification alone. The employees quickly formed a bargaining unit and McGinn dropped the plan, saying he had gotten bad advice.
Since then, McGee said, McGinn has become a better manager, one who guided the city through a major recession with minimal layoffs and upheaval, and who is more forthright with the unions than Nickels was.
"McGinn is much more truly engaged. There's more give and take. I've appreciated that about him." And he added, "Anybody who has managed through rocky times deserves a lot of credit."
Some of McGinn's strongest supporters are the transit advocates and environmentalists, such as the Sierra Club, that helped elect him and are again providing ground troops for the campaign. Martin Duke, editor-in-chief of the Seattle Transit Blog, said McGinn has consistently been the most pro-transit and pro-density voice in city government.
The mayor has urged Sound Transit to speed up planning for light rail to Ballard and pressed the City Council for new lines along Eastlake and through downtown.
But his advocacy for rail has run into criticism from people who want the city to address the crowded buses, crummy streets and a strategy for bicycling that puts cyclists on busy streets with cars rather than in dedicated lanes or on quiet side streets.
"We are now on a 5,000-year replacement schedule for residential streets," said Doug MacDonald, former state transportation director. "The problem in this election is to get anybody focused on the transportation needs of ordinary people — sidewalks, crosswalks, not just potholes, but miles of crumbling concrete."
Some in the environmental community, too, question McGinn's leadership. Brendon Cechovic, executive director of Washington Conservation Voters, one of the state's biggest environmental advocacy groups, said his group endorsed Murray in the primary after asking, "Who's the right person to get things done?"
Still, J. Patrick Dobel, professor at the Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington, said McGinn's delivery of a deal to build a new sports arena in Sodo — on hold as investors look to buy an NBA team — shows the mayor's growing ability to build a coalition and negotiate a complex deal.
"He fought hard, kept his word and showed development as a leader."
But Dobel, who teaches leadership and strategy, shares the concern that McGinn has alienated so many, including a lot of the people who live here, during the tunnel fight and the fight over police reform, that he may have lost the chance to be truly effective.
"If re-elected, would he be able to get anything done because so many of his relationships are broken?"

At Longwood Gardens, we have been pushing the boundaries of horticulture for decades. In the process, we have vastly expanded the world's understanding and appreciation for the infinite potential that exists within this field.
At well over 9,000 taxa or species and varieties, Longwood Gardens' plant collection equals that of many of our peer institutions. This collection began in 1798 and today is governed by Longwood Gardens' Plant Collection Policy which ensures proper management, development and, where appropriate, re-alignment of the plant collection to best meet our needs.
New Guinea impatiens and many of the other plants that we enjoy today have their roots in our Plant Exploration Program. For more than six decades, we have been scouring the globe in search of both wild and cultivated plants to enhance our collection and expand the pallet of ornamental plants available to the public.
Longwood's displays may be created by our gardeners but they are made possible by our researchers. For years, research at Longwood has existed to improve and advance our horticultural production and displays. This has led to research projects that span all spectrums of horticulture—from the preservation of signature cultivars and virus elimination to the optimization of plant growth and rapid production of an elite species.
There's little doubt that maintaining a garden the size of Longwood is a monumental task. Now imagine having to also raise the plants that are used in these gardens. Few people realize that 75 percent of the plants used in our displays are raised on site. Each year, we produce upward of 110,000 plants that encompass 1,000 different varieties.

Local Artists Provide Diversity in Exhibit Opening Feb. 14
Charlottesville, VA -Piedmont Virginia Community College will open two new exhibits with diverse works by six local artists. An opening reception is Friday, Feb. 14, from 5-7 p.m. in the PVCC Gallery, located in the V. Earl Dickinson Building. The show runs through April 2.
The North Gallery features The Jubilant Now, a group show by John Grant, Will May, Judy McLeod, Tim Michel and Laura Parsons. Each artist has approached the theme of the exhibit in a unique way, making for a show that runs the gamut of media from photography to installations and conceptual art.
John Grant's large-scale photographs explore the imagery, color and light of botanicals that create a mysterious visual experience for the viewer. Will May's photographs address aspects of the personal and psychological. Judy McLeod's mixed media works feature a series of visual maps that deal with the known and unknown. Tim Michel's recent paintings show both abstract and subtle elements and Laura Parsons' three-component installation piece creates an environment intended to challenge and engage the viewer.
The South Gallery features a one-person show by Cynthia Burke entitled Of Cabbages and Kings. Her series of recent paintings are crafted in her trademark style which she calls "fantastic realism." Burke is known for her images of animals, usually rendered in the style of a formal portrait, that possess a surreal and dignified quality. Her work has been shown regionally and she is a member artist at McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville.
For more information, call Beryl Solla, professor of art, at 434.961.5362 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The PVCC Gallery, located in the V. Earl Dickinson Building for Humanities and Social Sciences, is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

Joke: Wife & Husband Diary Entries
Wife's Diary Entry:
April 14: Tonight, I thought Jim was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends and I was a little late for our date. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I thought he was upset that I was a bit late; but he made no comment on it so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a total disaster.
Husband's Diary Entry:
April 14: Boat won't start, can't figure out why."I don't mind that they stole my ideas. I mind that they have none of their own." - Nikola Tesla
"I can't predict the future, but I know that it'll be very weird." - Anonymous
(stupid "10 character" post rule....)"Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left"
"I swear to God, I'm going to pistol whip the next guy that says 'Shenanigans' "... Capt. O'Hagan, "Super Troopers"
Read this, chuckled to myself, and headed outside for an evening ride. Bike wouldn't start. After spending twenty minutes fiddling, I said, "Eff this, will deal with it when it's light out." Went back inside, tossed my gloves onto the couch and sat down heavily at the kitchen table, grumbling.
Other half comes into the kitchen, looks at me and says, "Thought you were going for a ride."
"Not tonight, apparently," I growl back. She gives me this look that says "oh, he's pissed at me over something, what'd I do, he's really upset, oh no oh no, this is it, this is gonna start the argument that ends it all..." I look at the look on her face, which is one of those borderline-tears looks, and think of this post and burst out laughing, laughing so hard I nearly fall out of the chair.
Now she's pissed at me for laughing at her.
Neither my ride nor my old lady are talking to me. And it's all your fault, ST."I don't do judgment. Just retrieval."
"The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it."
Oh, man. I thought it was only my wife that did this.
I was sitting quietly on the couch once, trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer and how I was going to fix it, and Mrs CameraMan, near tears, comes over to ask me what's wrong. And that's when the fight started...The CCTV Blog.
"Expert" is something like "leader". It's not a title that you can ever claim for yourself no matter what you might know or might have done. It's a title that others bestow on you based on their assessment of what you know and what you have done.

Day of Sightseeing, Bird Watching
Colin McClelland, '06, Day 1 - After conquering the jet-lag that plagued us the previous day, we set off Sunday morning to explore. A simple walk through the park quickly turned into a birding adventure searching for the almost mythical snow parakeet and rainbow-crested nuthatch. Being unable to locate these excellent specimens, we moved onward to the city proper.
Our lunch was a story to speak of, consisting of (probably) the only Lebanese restaurant in the Czech Republic. The groups favorites included kibbi, tabouli, homus, and as Will Certain described them, "little cheeseburgers."
We found our way to the Prague castle Hrad, where we had excellent photo opportunities, and also discovered that wine bars in this part of Europe are top-notch.† Kevin Shaw found out the hard way that exchanging money on the streets can be a shady task.† At the same time, we all learned a valuable lesson in economics: Hungarian dollars, although similar in appearance to Czech korunas, are absolutely worthless. We did our part in keeping up foreign relations at a dorm party in the local agricultural university, and look forward to meeting the students and faculty of the mathematics university tomorrow.

The management of used water has come a long way since Singapore's first water-borne used water infrastructure was built in the 1910s.
At the time, it served only a small portion of the 300,000-strong population. Today, the population has grown to about 5.3 million, and a comprehensive used water infrastructure is in place to serve every household and business.
The first proposal on how to handle used water in Singapore was prepared in 1890 by Municipal Engineer James MacRitchie. He proposed the collection of nightsoil and disposal by dumping it in the sea. The reason for focusing on nightsoil was the widespread use of the nightsoil system and the unsatisfactory disposal of nightsoil on agricultural land, by burial or by overflows into the monsoon drains. However, MacRitchie's proposal was not found to be feasible because of unfavourable sea currents and tidal conditions.
In 1893, MacRitchie prepared a further report proposing the municipal collection of nightsoil and its disposal at a plant. In addition, mains would be provided to pump the dry weather flow in the monsoon drains into the sea. The first part of the proposal was implemented and an experimental plant was set up in 1898. It used coal fire to boil off the liquid portion of the nightsoil and reduce the solid portion to a powder called poudrette. Poudrette could be used by farmers as manure in place of nightsoil. However, this plant was discontinued in 1904 as it was expensive to run, it smelled and the farmers did not like using the poudrette.
In 1911, R. Peirce, the then Municipal Engineer proposed dividing the city into 3 areas, each to be served by a trunk sewer that drained into a pumping station. The used water would be sent to a new Sewage Disposal Works at Alexandra Road. There, it would be treated by trickling filters and humus tanks before being discharged into the Singapore River. This scheme was accepted for implementation. Construction started in 1912 and was gradually implemented from 1915 to 1917.
The first used water system was completed in 1917 and it was gradually expanded with the addition of more sewers and pumping stations. By the 1930s, the population of Singapore had reached half a million people and a major expansion of the used water system was needed.
The then City Engineer, together with the consultant J. D. Watson, submitted a report to the Municipal Commissioners proposing that nightsoil be collected and pumped to a new activated sludge plant called Kim Chuan Sewage Treatment Works. The digested sludge would then be sent to another new facility, Serangoon Sludge Treatment Works for drying.
These two facilities would serve areas outside the city, in the eastern part of Singapore, that were not previously served by sewers. Some flows would also be diverted into them from the eastern part of the city area which was served by the Alexandra Sewage Disposal Works. The two facilities were completed in the late 1930's just before the Japanese Occupation. As a result, many of the units were not used until the end of the Second World War.
After the war, the population hit 1 million. The Alexandra Sewage Disposal Works was overloaded and housing developments were encroaching into its vicinity. In 1955, the City Council engaged the consultant, Messers JD & DM Watson, to prepare plans to remove the Alexandra Sewage Disposal Works. The consultant proposed new sewers and pumping stations to divert the flows into a new facility, Ulu Pandan Sewage Treatment Works which would be located away from the city. These facilities were completed in 1961 and the Alexandra Sewage Disposal Works was then decommissioned.
Concurrently, more sewers and pumping stations were constructed to serve developments in the northern and eastern part of the city. The Kim Chuan Sewage Treatment Works was expanded in 1963 to serve these developments.
The 1960s heralded the development of new towns with multi-storey flats built by the Housing and Development Board. More of the households were served with sewers. The used water facilities required to serve the new towns had to handle the high population density. The first major new town was Queenstown and it was completed at about the time when the Ulu Pandan Sewage Treatment Works was put into use. Following this, the Kim Chuan Sewage Treatment Works was again expanded to serve Toa Payoh New Town. More new towns (e.g. Ang Mo Kio, Tampines, Bedok, Clementi, etc) were subsequently completed with some of them located away from the city. During this period, an industrialisation programme was also initiated and the Jurong area was rapidly developed. It became clear that more new sewage treatment works would be required to cope with these developments. Accordingly, the Bedok, Kranji, Seletar and Jurong Sewage Treatment Works were built between 1979 and 1985.
24 January 1987 was another milestone in the history of used water management. On this day, the nightsoil removal service was phased out and the last bucket latrine was replaced by alternative on-site sanitation system.
Singapore's first sewerage scheme started in 1910. The system then consisted of only a network of sewers and 3 pumping stations and a trickling filter plant to serve the central area of Singapore.
An intensive sewerage development programme began in the 1960's to meet the demand of the rapid housing and industrialisation programme.
The current sewerage system is designed based on a 'separate system' whereby used water is collected separately in a network of underground sewers that lead to a treatment plant whereas stormwater and surface runoff are collected in open drains and channelled to rivers and reservoirs.
Today, 100% of our population is served by modern sanitation.
On 1 April 2001, the six Sewage Treatment Works were renamed Bedok, Jurong, Kim Chuan, Kranji, Seletar and Ulu Pandan Water Reclamation Plants (WRPs) to emphasise their new role of not only treating used water for discharge into the sea, but also to reclaim used water for reuse. With the implementation of large-scale water recycling, treated used water has become a valuable resource for the production of NEWater which augments water supply.
The Kim Chuan WRP (previously known as Kim Chuan Sewage Treatment Works) along with the Serangoon Sludge Treatment Works were decommissioned in 2007. The Bedok and Seletar WRPs were also decommissioned in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
Today, Singapore's used water network comprises four WRPS: Ulu Pandan, Jurong, Kranji and Changi.
The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is an efficient and cost effective solution to meet Singapore's long-term needs for used water collection, treatment and disposal.
Unlike some other countries, Singapore has separate networks to collect used water and rainwater. This reduces the amount of pollution that gets into the waterways and helps ensure that the quality of the water harnessed from the catchments is of good quality.
The DTSS will enable Singaporeans to continue to enjoy a first-class used-water infrastructure for years to come.

New school only a brief fix for overcrowding
Shortly after Hazleton Area's newest elementary-middle school opens next year, classrooms may be overcrowded.
In a recent presentation to the board of education, Richard LeBlanc of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates architectural firm said population growth projections compiled by the state Department of Education indicate that district classrooms will once again be overcrowded soon after the new Maple Manor Elementary/Middle School opens next year.
Crabtree Rohrbaugh serves as project architect for the construction and renovation project at the former Bishop Hafey High School. The firm served in the same capacity for the Academy of Sciences project in Butler Township.
LeBlanc said the Department of Education uses data on local birth rates and trends in the progression of students from one grade to the next to calculate estimates on future enrollment.
Using that data, LeBlanc said student enrollment is projected to increase by approximately 968 by the 2014-15 school year.
Seven years from now, the data indicates an enrollment increase of 2,687 students, LeBlanc said.
District Superintendent Francis X. Antonelli said it's important for the board to note that the state projections do not include estimates on the number of students who will enroll as a result of new families moving into the district each year.
"That's just live births. That's not counting in-migration," Antonelli said.
The district bought the former Bishop Hafey High School for $5.5 million in April 2012 and recently launched a $14 million construction project to renovate and enlarge the building to alleviate overcrowding in district elementary/middle schools while eliminating the use of modular classrooms. The Maple Manor school is expected to accommodate about 900 students.
After being presented with the data, Director Robert Wallace asked Antonelli whether the overcrowding projections are accurate.
"When we open Maple Manor, how many seats short are we going to be?" Wallace asked.
"For current enrollment, we're satisfied," Antonelli said. "For future growth, we're not adequate."
LeBlanc came to the meeting armed with sketches of how a new construction project could enlarge the Academy of Sciences building to create classroom space for an additional 300 students or more.
Other options to accommodate the swelling student population could include construction of a new elementary/middle school or acquiring an existing building for renovation into another school facility. But several board members were not prepared to entertain another construction project and objected to continuing the presentation.
Board President Brian Earley said the board is not expected to take immediate action on the presentation, but the Department of Education enrollment projections must be taken into consideration.
"This is not for us to act on right now. This is food for thought," Earley said.
Asked how reliable the Department of Education's estimates are, LeBlanc said, "Projecting enrollment is kind of like looking into a crystal ball to get an idea where you're going to be in the future."
Data currently posted on the department's website indicates there were 10,429 students enrolled in the district as of Oct. 31, 2012, with an additional 783 enrolled at the Hazleton Area Career Center, for a total district-wide student population of 11,212.

- I hope they get the punishment they deserve.
- We thought the punishment was rather harsh for such a minor offence.
- The severity of the punishment should match the seriousness of the crime.

Three Elements of Effective Social Engagement
Editor's note: Mark Pannell is a freelance social media consultant and occasional Spoke troublemaker. Kind of like the little brother we're glad we never had. In his nearly 35 years on this planet, Mark has spent time in the music industry, managed big box retail stores, and most recently, guided social media strategy at a creative marketing agency. In 1996, Mark was dubbed "Minister of Propaganda" by the drummer of the Detroit rock band Sponge. He's spent the last 14 years living up to that moniker.
Social Media Rock Stars. Digital Media Evangelists. Social Engagement Gurus. No matter what self-assigned fancy title is applied, this role can be simplified down to two words: conversation starter. If I'm doing my job right, this very blog post should spurn its own conversation in the form of comments below.
At the dawn of the internet, millions were made on the ability to create a website. A thorough knowledge of HTML was akin to being an early investor in Google. Today, the superheroes of the web are individuals with the ability to… get this… talk to people.
An entire field of work sprouted up around a little blue bird and a scrawny millionaire. And many practitioners of the craft have a single, unifying battle cry: "You're doing it wrong." What they're really saying is, "You're doing it wrong. I know how to do it right. Let's get down to brass tacks. Send a P.O. now!"
The business cards in my pocket read "Social Media Strategist." Yes, I've ridden on the wings of a little blue bird and developed a violently allergic reaction to whales. I'm a proponent of social engagement. I'm also a very big critic of the craft.
This advantageous case of multiple personality disorder makes me stand back and assess my own strategies and beliefs. "You're doing it wrong" is an arrogant mantra for elitists. Let's try, "There are aspects of your social engagement strategy which could use some improvement. Let's take a look at three of them." Yeah, it doesn't have the same ring. I'll work on that.
One: Social Engagement Doesn't Have a URL
Social engagement is an attitude. It doesn't reside on Facebook, Twitter, or any other platform. It can exist there, but not as a standalone entity. In its purest form, it's simply part of an organization's culture. The company that we social media types all love to reference is Zappos. By now, I'm sure most of you have heard the "I Heart Zappos" story. It's become the stuff of legends.
The tale that we all adore and have taken creative liberties with over the years is the Zaz LaMarr story. In short, Zaz ordered a pair of shoes from Zappos. She requested a return and meant to send them back, but her mother passed away in the interim. At the risk of making my own creative enhancements to the story, I'll let Zaz tell the rest:
"In May we had ordered several pairs of shoes from Zappos for my mom. She'd lost a lot of weight, and her old shoes were all too big. She had a whole new wardrobe of clothes in pretty colors that fit, so I wanted her to have some pretty shoes that fit, too, when I took her up to Oregon to stay where her sister is. Out of seven pairs, only two fit. Not bad considering she'd never been this thin, so I was winging it, and the return shipping is free. The rest were here waiting to be returned. Because of various circumstances – lost label, my mom being hospitalized and me being away, the shoes were never sent back. There's a time limit on the return of 15 days. Remember this. When you do a return to them, they pay the shipping, but you have to get the shoes to UPS yourself. Remember this, also.
When I came home this last time, I had an email from Zappos asking about the shoes, since they hadn't received them. I was just back and not ready to deal with that, so I replied that my mom had died but that I'd send the shoes as soon as I could. They emailed back that they had arranged with UPS to pick up the shoes, so I wouldn't have to take the time to do it myself. I was so touched. That's going against corporate policy.
Yesterday, when I came home from town, a florist delivery man was just leaving. It was a beautiful arrangement in a basket with white lilies and roses and carnations. Big and lush and fragrant. I opened the card, and it was from Zappos. I burst into tears. I'm a sucker for kindness, and if that isn't one of the nicest things I've ever had happen to me, I don't know what is."
I can't think of a better definition of social engagement than that story. There was a personal connection between a brand and a customer; a connection that transformed that customer into a brand advocate for life. Now, here's the kicker: What social network was used to reach that customer? Zappos is so well-known for their outstanding service and dedication to customer satisfaction, and the story above is so frequently associated with social media, that we forget that no social networks were involved.
Here's something you might not know about Zappos: All new employees are required to go through a four week customer loyalty program. Two of those weeks are spent in a call center, working directly with their customers. At the end of the four week training period, new employees are offered $2,000 to quit—to walk away from the job, no strings attached. They want to ensure that their employees are there for the love of the job, not just the money. The success that Zappos has achieved in the social space is a reflection of their culture.
If Twitter and Facebook went the way of the dinosaur tomorrow, that level of engagement would persist. How many companies can say that? An effective social presence is not dependent upon any one platform or combination of platforms. It's an extension of an organization's culture, online and off.
Two: Viewing "Community" Realistically
Quite possibly the most overused word since the dawn of social media marketing, "community" has become an ambiguous term used to describe various groups of people. As a point of reference, let's look at the definition of the word:
A social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists.
That sounds an awful lot like another word that gets thrown around often: demographic. Before this section gets written off as cynicism, let me point out that online social communities are a wonderful thing, even those built around a brand. Some organizations value their customers' opinions, love to address issues head-on, and do a fantastic job of rewarding loyalty to the brand.
The danger of "community" comes from blurring the lines between a real community and your organization's Facebook fan page. When was the last time a member of your company's online community invited you to a neighborhood cookout? To their son's bar mitzvah?
If Moneybags McGillicutty's House of Widgets was given an absolute guarantee, beyond a reasonable doubt, that none of their Facebook fans (or "Likers" now, I guess) would ever buy one of their products again, how much longer would that community be actively managed?
Pretending that your presence in the social space isn't a method to raise brand awareness and, ultimately, increase sales is not transparency; it's delusional thinking. Going back to Zappos, they publicly share their revenue successes and repeat buyer statistics. Their social community understands that the company would very much like for them to buy shoes from Zappos.
Consumers are intelligent enough to know that their favorite brands on Facebook want them to purchase their products. Real transparency is rooted in honesty. I'm certainly not advocating the use of social networks solely as a broadcast advertising medium. Just accept and respect the fact that people know why you're there.
Three: Grand Openings vs. Soft Openings
Recently, Lee Odden from the Online Marketing Blog reached out to 40 thought leaders in the industry to get their thoughts on Social Media Strategy Before Tactics. A wide range of opinions were offered and the piece spurred an offline discussion between me and Head Spoker, Gene Powell. Initially, I fought tooth and nail for the merits of strategy leading tactics. But my history in retail management bubbled to the surface and quickly swayed my opinion into Gene's corner.
Retailers love grand openings. They make huge events out of them. There's face painting for the kids, pseudo-celebrities signing autographs, outrageous deals, and frequent giveaways. They throw their doors open and welcome the community to come see what they have to offer. Many companies approach their arrival in the social space the same way. They invest thousands of dollars on Facebook fan page tabs, launch traditional advertising campaigns to promote their new presence, and print the URL's on anything that doesn't move. If we build it, they will come. Have you ever stopped by a new store a couple days before their grand opening? You might just find that they're open. Experienced retailers understand the importance of a "soft opening." They quietly open shop to a much smaller crowd. Sometimes it's in the form of a "friends and family" event. Sometimes they invite other local businesses to visit first. And still others just open the doors and see what happens. The soft opening is a way to determine just how ready their staff is to accommodate business, what customers think of the atmosphere, and what last minute tweaks need to be made before the gala event to come. Any business new to the social space could learn from the soft opening method. Allowing strategy to lead tactics is fine if you're 100% confident that the strategy will be effective. But is that ever a guarantee?
What's wrong with setting up a minimalist Twitter profile or Facebook fan page to observe how your community will interact? More importantly, how will you respond? This "soft opening" approach might just reveal some surprises before thousands of dollars are spent on strategy. These types of discussions are often boiled down to, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Is a massive strategy developed to attract thousands of fans and followers? Or is the community built on a grassroots campaign and the strategy developed around what was learned during that process? It's not the most exciting option, but more businesses (and the gurus they hire) could benefit from following the latter approach. There's always time for a grand opening later.
Four: There is no four.
Not long ago, a friend of mine posted a picture of his grandfather's automotive repair shop from the 1940's. His business was successful and he was respected within his community. The children in the neighborhood also knew that if their bicycles were broken, he would fix them. And he did it for free. Why? It was the right thing to do.
That same logic speaks volumes about a company in the digital era. The difference is that word travels exponentially faster and farther today than it did in the 1940's. Understanding that social engagement is platform-agnostic, that your communities are your customers, and that there's nothing wrong with gradually entering this space can have a positive long-term impact on the perception of your brand. And maybe, from time to time, forget about ROI for a moment and do things just because they're the right thing to do.
