1905 Witaker and Ray Wall Pictorial Wall Map of the San Francisco Bay AreaSanFranciscoBayCounties-whitakerray-1905
1905 Witaker and Ray Wall Pictorial Wall Map of the San Francisco Bay AreaSanFranciscoBayCounties-whitakerray-1905
One of the most graphically striking maps of the San Francisco Bay area.
1904 (undated) 42 x 31 in (106.68 x 78.74 cm) 1 : 100000
The OCLC identifies only a single other example located at Stanford's Bancroft Library. Rare.
Whitaker and Ray (1895 – c. 1915) was an educational supply house and publication company active in San Francisco in the late 18th and early 20th century. The firm was originally founded in 1869 as an agricultural brokerage in Galt, California, by pioneer merchants Andrew Whitaker and Don Ray (1849 - April 12, 1910). Whitaker and Ray was immensely successful when Whitaker died in April of 1894, leaving his estate to his son, James Whitaker (1874 - 19??). Now headed by Don Ray and his son John Ray, the firm relocated to San Francisco and changed focus to publishing and educational supply. The firm incorporated in 1895 when it acquired the educational supply arm of the Bancroft Company, including the services of educator C. C. Adams and businessman Charles M. Wiggin. Wiggin previously headed the educational department at the Bancroft Company and moved, along with the sale, to manage Whitaker and Ray. They began publishing educational materials under their own imprint as early as 1896, but the bulk of their publications were issued between 1899 to 1906. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire adversely affected their interests, ruining their original premises at 723 Market Street. Nonetheless, by 1909 they had established themselves at a larger more central location at 779-760 Mission Street. Around 1910, following Don Ray's death, their imprint changes to Whitaker and Ray-Wiggin Company, reflecting Charles Wiggin's ascent to partner. They continued to publish until at least 1915.

When it comes to death and grief, there is a lot Facebook has gotten wrong over the years. They haven't always made it easy to make pages memorial pages after a death. "Highlights' of the last year that involved posts about the death of a loved one are moments that have prompted apologies from Facebook about their insensitivity. The problem, of course, is that Facebook is not a person, but an algorithm. It is an algorithm that can't tell the reason a post from last year had so many likes and comments was because you were sharing news of a loss. It is an algorithm that doesn't realize when someone has died, despite all the sympathy comments of remembrance on their profile.
We aren't here to tell you that Facebook has finally fixed all the problems and made things right. But we are here to let you know that last week they made some major changes to how you can honor and memorialize people on Facebook that we thought you might want to know about. They even make a point to say that they know they still have work to do, but it's a start. So they big question: what do you need to know?
Facebook created a 'Tribute Section'
When someone dies, Facebook has long had a feature where their profile could be memorialized. 30 million people a month view these memorialized profiles! Facebook has now added a new tab to these profiles that they are calling the 'tribute' tab. It is "a separate tab on memorialized profiles where friends and family can share posts — all while preserving the original timeline of their loved one. This lets people see the types of posts that are most helpful to them as they grieve and remember their loved ones". What they seem to be going for is a way to meet two different grief-needs people have – keeping someone's page the way it was when they were living, while also created a space for friends and family to post and comment (and to read the comments and posts others have shared).
Changes to the Legacy Contact
Back in 2015, Facebook gave people the ability to choose a 'legacy contact'. That is the person you trust enough to take responsibility for your Facebook profile after your death. If you haven't set your own legacy contact yet, you can learn how to set your legacy contact here. If you are the legacy contact for the profile of someone who passes away, there is a change you were feeling frustrated by the limitations to your power. Facebook heard your complaints loud and clear and they have given you more ability to change tags, edit who can see posts, and serve as a moderator for the new 'tribute section'.
It remains true that minor's still can't select a legacy contact, but there is now a new policy in place now that allows parents to request to become the legacy contact for their deceased child's page. (we aren't going to waste time questioning why that wasn't already a policy, and rather just give two cheers that it is now).
When a Page Isn't Memorialized
Facebook gets it that people aren't always ready to memorialize a loved one's profile right away, for all sorts for reasons from logistical to emotional. When a page isn't memorialized, we quickly remember that Facebook doesn't actually know everything. The really helpful features that exist before a page is memorialized, like birthday reminders, can become painful triggers. Facebook knows this is an issue and they are working on it, they promise. They assure all of use that they are going to continue to better "use AI to help keep it from showing up in places that might cause distress, like recommending that person be invited to events or sending a birthday reminder to their friends. We're working to get better and faster at this". All we can say is fingers crossed!
Social media and grief is an endlessly complex topic, with lots of good and plenty of complicated. We do our best to keep you in the know about changes like these, so subscribe to get all our updates right to your email.
14 responses on "Remembering Loved Ones on Facebook: the latest changes"
MY father died in 5 january2020.I am his younger daughter.His account was automatically memorialized. I m shocked.He was82 years old.Don't know about legacy contact.what should i cam do now.
when my husband died, his phone was taken by his sister, who went into his account and changed his email, then she changed his legacy contact to herself, then she memorialized his page. She left his status married bu removed my name. Now, she deletes or limits my posts. When will Facebook honor the FACT that a person's next of kin per their marriage and the dead person's death certificate has legal rights to their social media and should be able to change the legacy contact or delete the page if they want to. Trying to discuss this with the outsourced foreign country Facebook workers is pointless. They don't understand US laws. If I could find an attorney in California to help me with this, I'd hire one. I searched for one, but so far haven't had any luck . I'm not " one of a kind", I've read other stories in different blogs and Facebook communities online and this is not really unusual.
My daughter's FB page was automatically put into memorial status and I was not asked or nothing it was just changed. I had my daughter's password, she had given me permission to keep up with it and I found that that was very rude for Facebook to put it in memorial status without my permission. I wish that there was a legacy contact back then because she would have had me for it as I am her mother. There were many of her friends that didn't even know that she was sick and later wanted to be added to her FB page and couldn't be. I was so very hurt that they did this.
My boyfriends page was memorialized, and I can I t assume someone contacted Facebook, but not sure who. It was not his family. I had access to his Facebook, requested it to be unmemoralized and permission to regain access, I sent them a long letter, pictures of our shared mail, his drivers license, etc. and they replied with some generic message. I grieve my boyfriend everyday,, I have not fully accepted what happened, and I still talk about him in present tense at times. Facebook has no right to take it upon themselves to let us know when we should accept that someone's gone. What they did makes it seem like they think they have the right. We were not married on paper, but were married in every other way. They had no right to take away my access, no right to decide to memorialize his page because som friend(I'm assuming) decided to take it upon themselves to notify them.
My dearest Bill left me Nov 20 2018. 33 years of beautiful love. he was my everything as I was his.. I hurt so much. so alone. My god, I feel so so sad. What will become of me. I miss him, nothing anyone can say helps. I work everyday. thank god. come home to my sweet dog Mary who is 14 years old.. and to bed. I feel people think I should be over this, I feel people are giving up on me..
My husband Joe died suddenly on December 4; we had been married 27 years, together 29. We did everything together. While many couples sacrifice time together in order to further their careers, we forewent career advancements to have more time with each other. We also didn't have children–we didn't want them. All we wanted was each other. Now that he's gone, I work, try to spend time with people (even though I don't want to), and come home to cats who are grieving just like I am. There really doesn't seem to be an exit or an "other side" to this grief. I know it will never end, but will it ever ease up? People say there are good days and bad days, but sometimes it feels like there are only bad days and worse days. Everybody tells you that no two people experience grief the same way, but I feel as if you and I may be experiencing something similar. I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm not giving up on you!! Stay strong! Remember the good times and trust me there are good times to come.
I've had two deaths in 9 months and another to come very soon.
Wishing you well
My husband died before he could add me as a legacy contact. Ironically, he was my legacy contact.
There should be a way for a spouse to automatically be the legacy contact even if they weren't officially added yet by their deceased husband or wife. 😡
My boyfriend's page was automatically changed to a memorial page. I thought that was pretty terrible. I had no idea there was any legacy contact until after he died. I tried to go in and put myself in but it was too late. I would have liked to be able to administer it myself.
My son was a minor when he opened his fb account. They started the legacy in 2015, 5 yrs after he died. I cannot see his fb page. I cannot post or read posts. Someone from fb memorialized his account even after I said I didn't want it memorialized. They told me someone has to ask for it to be memorialized. Then the guy I was " chatting " with said I'm just going to do it.
I saw a UTube video from a father whose daughter had died. He was begging for access to his daughters account. He got it.
But I have not been able to. When you lose a child there will be no new memories, so you only have the old ones. I would love to see his comments to friends and family. It's like when someone gives you a photo of your child that you haven't seen before. It's a priceless gift.
But I can't get a hold of anyone to talk to or ask about this. I even sent a message to Mr. Zucherman.
It's so horrible😢
My fiancé's page was taken down and I'm not very happy about it
Same thing happened to my son's facebook page – -" family" is no longer able to see new memorial posts, so I have to ask my daughter's boyfriend to go on his page to see what friends and family have written on my son's facebook.
Also, no one in this family asked that my son's page be "Remembering", so how come it's there?
Any way to get in touch with the people behind FB to try to get them to correct a major mistake they made with my late husband's Facebook page? When they took it upon themselves to "lock" it as a so-called memorial, when I specifically asked them not to?
Sensitivity my eye…

- Home Whole House
- Crystal Quest EAGLE 14 Stage Whole House Water Filter
Crystal Quest EAGLE 14 Stage Whole House Water Filter provides you with great tasting water. Removes hundreds of contaminants from water. Conveniently provides 750,000 gals of quality water. Great for home, apartment or office use.
First stage, water flows through a 20" sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt. Also extends the life of the water filter and prevents damage.
In stages 2 and 4, water flows through 2 beds of Redox (Oxidation/reduction process) media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc. Representing a new and unique way of water processing medium which by its natural process of electrochemical oxidation/reduction and adsorption action reduces and remove many unwanted contaminants from water. It is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on electrochemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (REDOX) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized
Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attaches to the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are also removed from the water by this natural process of the electrochemical process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit.
In stage 3, Water flows through the ion exchange resin, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
In stage 5, water passes through granulated activated carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzine), pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water, bad taste, and odors from your drinking water. Read more about
In stage 6 and 7, Water travels through a special blend of natural Infra-Red and mineral balls. Infra-Red rays are the invisible portion of the sunlight spectrum that has been found to promote growth and health to living cells in plants, animals, and humans. By using a far infrared water filtration system, some have estimated an enrichment of treated water that somehow strengthens various organs within our bodies.
In stage 8 and 9, water travels through special blend of natural calcium carbonate media which will alkalize/ionize and remineralizes water and raise the pH level of your water. It reduces acidity in the body and will produce natural calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium ions that can be absorbed 100% in the human body. These Essential Minerals are vital to our organs. These are the symptoms when lacking essential minerals: Fatigue, Insomnia, Loss of Hair, Depression, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Asthma, Decayed Teeth, PMS. Migraines, Heart Disease.
Benefits of Crystal Quest EAGLE 14 Stage Whole House Water Filter
- Produces large quantities of hydrogen and oxygen
- Produces Alkali Calcium Ionized Water
- Provides more energy and increases the metabolic process.
- Prevents Reproduction of Germs and Virus
- Reverses aging, due to the reduction of acid wastes
- Activates water molecules in our body
- Helps the body dissolve wastes and makes it easier to dispose of them safely
In stage 11 and 12, water flows through two powerful magnets (greater than 12,000 gausses) creates a magnetic field in filter for magnetic resonance activation of the water. This process lowers surface tension, increases solubility and increases absorptivity. This process also alters the physical characteristics of water-borne minerals, so they don't cling to pipes or equipment surfaces. It also controls lime/scale build-up plumbing corrosion protection.
In stage 13, water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides pesticides industrial solvents).*In stage 14, water passes through a .01 micron Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the production of high-purity water. UF is effective for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g., gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), other organic molecules larger than .01 micron, and most other water contaminants are known today.
- The system connects to the main line of your home
- Easy to replace resin media approximately every 5 to 7 years. **
- Easy Filter Changes
- Requires only periodic backwash to keep the unit in top condition
- Available in 3/4" and 1" NPT input/output
- fully shipped with filtration media already in the tank
CRYSTAL QUEST natural Infra-Red and mineral balls
The recent studies in biotechnology field revealed that the far-infrared rays played an important role for the formation and growth of all living organisms. For this reason, these specific far-infrared rays are called "biogenetic rays". Water and proteins are the integral parts of all living organisms on Earth. Water molecules are always oscillating. If water molecules are exposed to oscillating action of 8-10 micron wavelength (some as the wavelength of molecular water oscillation), the "resonance" occurs between the two oscillations.
CRYSTAL QUEST Infra-Red and mineral balls can penetrate the human body to activate cells. With continuous movement, the rays are alleged to reactivate cells to help strengthen the micro-circulatory system. The micro-circulatory system is often the cause of various ailments. By strengthening this system, some may reduce or even reverse ailments that have plagued their bodies for years.
The effect of Far-infra-red rays on our human body are as follows:
- Activates water molecules in our body
- strengthens various organs within our bodies
- slow down the again process
- energized water while getting superior hydration
- Improve oxygen level in our body
- energized water while getting superior hydration
- Smoothening the flow of blood and reduce fat, chemicals and toxin in blood.
- Reducing toxic from the body.
- Reducing the acidic level in our body
- Improve the nervous system functionality.
- Improve oxygen level in our body
The resonance causes ionization of water into hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion at extremely high speed (10/12 sec). This ionization is called "water activation." If such activation of water occurs in human cellular tissues, the metabolism of cells and excretion of residues from cells or nutrition are enhanced. Water makes up 70% of the mass of the human body. CRYSTAL QUEST Infra-Red and mineral balls can activate, revitalize, reactivate, develop and strengthen various organs in our bodies when it is absorbed.
In the various organs of the human body, the circulatory system plays an important role, especially in the micro-circulatory system. When there are problems with the micro-circulatory system, various ailments will occur. CRYSTAL QUEST Infra-Red and mineral balls vibrating at a frequency similar to that of the human body can penetrate the body activates cells and reactivates as well as strengthens the micro-circulatory systems. It regulates the blood flow and blood in blood vessels, which have been blocked due to blood clots and at the same time reactivate the vital energy in the body.
Elevation of the immunity of our bodies against diseases is another benefit of Infra-Red waves. This is part of the effects of the improvement in micro-circulatory system and metabolism of the body. It helps to slow down the aging process, increase resistance against diseases and increases longevity.
Infra-Red causes resonance with water molecules. It ionizes and activates water molecules in our cells and blood thus improving our blood circulation and health condition.
Infra-red is also used in:
- Prevention of bacteria growth
- Relieving of pain
- Softening of hard water
- Eliminating bad odor in water
- Strengthening and health improvement
- Speeding up the repair of body cells
- Balancing of acid level in our body
- Normalization of blood cholesterol
- Preventing mold
- Enhancing and maintain freshness
- Helping plants to grow better
There is no age limit for using this product. It can be used from the day you are born until the very old age. There are no side effects of exposure to Infra-Red. The real effects can be measured in improved stamina, health, and overall good living.
Optional Salt-Free Water Softener
Water passes through an anti-scale media and without a brine solution there is no need to backwash. This process neutralizes the minerals instead of removing them, allowing water to flow freely through your system without sticking to your pipes, dishes, or you!
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
what about arsenic removal?
No, this one will not filter arsenic. Here is a link to one that does filter arsenic, fluoride, lead and a wide range of other contaminants Crystal Quest 6 Stage Whole House Fluoride Plus Water Filter
Does this system remove clay from the water also and if not do younoffer a system that also removes clay from the water.
Yes it will remove lower levels of clay you may have to back flush more frequently than original weekly recommendation ( ie every 3-4 days depending ) If you have lots of clay or have orangish or clay color in your water you would need a turbidity system

So often when we think of learning about another culture, we think about the things that we see on the surface. We think of food, clothing, transportation, or music. While these things are definitely included, culture is more than just these types of things. Culture is how one reacts to a situation. Culture is how one worships. Culture is how one thinks and why they have the beliefs that drive that thinking. Culture goes much deeper and it encompasses who a person or group of people truly are. It is something that drives them.
An example would be the amount of emotional expressivity that one portrays. In the Latin culture, there is typically a higher level of emotional expressivity. They outwards show their emotions more so than perhaps, an Anglo-American. This is speaking in general terms. There are always those who are exceptions to this. Some exceptions would be my husband and I. He, Mexican, shows almost no emotional expressions while I, Anglo-American, am very passionate and sometimes show too much emotion.
Keeping this in perspective as we teach others about culture will be beneficial. We want to make sure that our students know that while certain cultures do and believe certain things, there is still the individual who is more in depth than a general view of a culture. So what are some ideas that we can use in our classrooms? Perhaps we can do some role plays. Also, there are going to be students of different cultures in our classrooms. Allow each of them to share their own personal experience of what is considered appropriate in their own culture. There are so many more activities to help students learn the deeper culture of the world than recipe sharing.

Quoth Jack R.:
JMO, but your not doing brain surgery, you are working out. Just go in and do what you are scheduled to do. If you are sick or worn out, go home and come back the next day after 3-5 meals and a good nights sleep. Otherwise do it. I only focus for PR attempts and i never psyche in the gym. Training needs to be like brushing your teeth, you do it because it is what you do.
After a little while, it will be part of you and thinking about it, except for thinking of better ways to train, will be a non issue.

We knew that we were on to something great when we started the robotic lawn mower market 25 years ago.
Connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Home, set up IFTTT applets and use the open API to personalise and customise. Husqvarna Automower® is now prepared to become part of your smart home as soon as it enters your garden.
Keeping your lawn healthy can be a lot of hard work. The Husqvarna Automower® isn't just a lawnmower. It's a robotic concept that does the work for you — without your supervision, around the clock.
A random travelling pattern lets the Automower® find every corner of your garden. It can easily handle wet and rainy conditions, as well as difficult terrain, including slopes, holes and even temporary obstacles like pinecones and fruits. The Automower® is so quiet that it can work in the night without disturbing anyone. Through the mower app, available for selected models, you'll also have total control of its working hours, so you can have the lawn to yourself whenever you like.
Husqvarna Automower® constantly cuts the grass as it grows. This is by far the most gentle way to cut grass. Whereas ordinary mowing usually takes off several centimetres of clippings which are then collected and removed, the clippings from Husqvarna Automower® are only a few millimetres long. They will fall to the soil, mulch, and fertilise your lawn.
Husqvarna Automower® is protected from theft in several ways. A pin code is required for any intervention. An alarm will immediately sound if the code is ignored when the mower is stopped or lifted. It is useless when stolen, as it can't be matched to other charging stations. And when reported stolen, it will be red-listed in all support.
Husqvarna Automower® is fully automatic, and works inside an electronic fence created by a boundary wire. When batteries run low, it returns to the charging station. After a one-time installation, which can be done by your dealer, you'll enjoy a more or less maintenance-free lawn for many years.
The Automower® leaves tiny clippings that you won't notice, so there is no need to collect them. By leaving them you naturally fertilise your lawn.
The Automower® is guided by boundary wires around your garden. Within that area it moves in irregular patterns so that there are no lines or traces of mowing in the grass.
The Automower® is battery-driven and comes with a charging station, connected to your electrical garden outlet. When it is done mowing it automatically returns to the charging station.
The Automower® can handle big and complex gardens with many various obstacles. It has no problems mowing lawns with inclines of up to 45% (24°).
"The bit that surprised me was the performance of its cutting when it's wet. It can be raining torrentially and the quality of cut is exactly the same as if the grass was bone dry."
"The bit that surprised me was the performance of its cutting when it's wet. It can be raining torrentially and the quality of cut is exactly the same as if the grass was bone dry."
What actually happens at installation?
It is possible to do the installation yourself, following the instructions in the operator's manual. It takes 2-5 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your lawn. We recommend you have the local dealer install the unit. They have the experience and training to do it in the most efficient manner. Most dealers offer an installation service, although it is not included in the recommended retail price.
How does it work first time round on long grass?
If the grass is very long and thick you should raise the cutting height and then gradually reduce it to the preferred level. In very extreme conditions the lawn may need to be cut by a conventional mower before Automower® takes over.
By mowing in a seemingly random pattern, in various directions, you will get a carpet-like lawn, throughout your garden. In 20 years of testing it has also proven to be the most reliable way to cover the whole lawn, leaving no uncut grass. The reliability and precision of other technologies necessary for systematic mowing is not sufficient to offer an improvement over the loop wire and random based system, used by Automower® today.
Does it work in the rain?
Automower® will cut grass in most types of weather, and is designed to handle wet conditions. It is however recommended to bring the mower inside in extreme weather conditions, such as torrential rain, storms and thunder.
Can it work at night?
With its remarkably low decibel level, Automower® can easily be at work in the garden, day or night, without disturbing you or your neighbours.
Does it go to the edges properly?
Automower® covers the whole lawn within the boundary wire, leaving no uncut grass. However, we do recommend you to complement your lawn edges with a weed trimmer or edger to get a perfect finish.
How does it deal with narrow paths?
Automower® is guided by boundary wires around your garden. Within that area it moves in irregular patterns so that there are no lines or traces of mowing in the grass. It can handle narrow passages down to 60 cm widths, depending on the model used.
How does it deal with uneven surfaces?
Due to the large driving wheels, Automower® can cope with uneven surfaces very well. It also handles slopes up to 45% (24°) incline. Automower® is small enough to follow the curvature of a rough lawn. It will not scalp the mounds or ridges like many larger mowers.
What if there are small objects on the lawn?
To maximise the life of the blades, stones, leaves, sticks and other small objects should be raked or collected regularly. They will not damage the mower, but the blades will wear faster. Tree branches may also damage or bend the blades resulting in poor cutting performance.
What effect does it have on the environment?
Since Automower® runs on batteries, it generates no direct emissions, and the actual energy consumption is very low. The running costs are only around $12 to $80 per season for the electricity consumed, depending on the size of the lawn, and the model used.
What's the lifetime of the battery?
This depends on the area and set running time of the mower. If you run Automower® six months per year on an area of 800 m², your battery will last up to four seasons. To extend battery life, you should set the timer according to the size of your lawn. During colder months you can easily reduce the running time without losing performance.
Is it really safe around kids and pets?
Even though Automower® uses very low power, the blade can still harm fingers and toes, or a dog's tail. A built-in safety feature means the blade will automatically stop if the mower is lifted up or turned over. The distance between the outer body and the blade tip is also extra-long to avoid feet or hands from accidently reaching the blades. Even so, we recommend parking the Automower® when pets or small children are playing on the lawn.
What about theft protection?
Husqvarna Automower® is protected from theft in several ways. A pin code is required for any intervention. An alarm will immediately sound if the code is ignored when the mower is stopped or lifted. It is useless when stolen, as it can't be matched to other charging stations. And when reported stolen, it will be red-listed in all support.
What about warranty and guarantees?
We guarantee the function of our products. Defective parts are repaired or replaced by authorised Husqvarna workshops during the warranty period.

Directed by Patrick Stettner ("The Business of Strangers"), THE NIGHT LISTENER is a psychological thriller based on the international bestselling novel by Armistead Maupin. The story revolves around a celebrated writer and popular late-night radio show host, Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams), who develops an intense phone relationship with a young listener named Pete (Rory Culkin) and his adopted mother (Toni Collette) just as his own domestic life is undergoing drastic changes. When troubling questions arise regarding the boy's identity, it causes Gabriel's ordered existence to spin wildly out of control as he sets out on a harrowing journey to find the truth.
The film also stars Sandra Oh ("Sideways" and "Grey's Anatomy") and Bobby Cannavale ("The Station Agent" and "Will & Grace"), and is produced by Robert Kessel, Jeffrey Sharp, John Hart and Jill Footlick.

Researchers create pollution-cleaning, 3D-printed sponge
3D printers have been used to create a lot of things, many of them helpful to human health and the environment, but the materials used in the printing process have always been, themselves, inert. Materials like metal, clay and, most of the time, ABS plastic, are extruded by the machines to build something one layer at a time. The resulting object fills a need, but not through its chemistry, but by its function. Researchers at American University decided to change that.
The researchers, led by American University chemistry professor Matthew Hartings, created an ABS plastic filament with an active chemistry capable of neutralizing pollutants.
To make the filament, they added chemically active titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to the usual plastic filament and fed it into a 3D thermoplastic printer. The material was used to print a matrix design the size and appearance of a household sponge. The resulting structure was still active even after the printing process.When natural light interacts with TiO2, a reaction occurs that breaks down pollutants. To test if the printed sponge could clean polluted water, they placed it in water with an organic pollutant and it destroyed the pollutant. The researchers see this success as opening the door to other active 3D-printed objects that could serve a variety of purposes.
"It's not just pollution, but there are all sorts of other chemical processes that people may be interested in. There are a variety of nanoparticles one could add to a polymer to print," Hartings said.
Right now, the material can only be successfully printed at a concentration of 10 percent nanoparticles. A higher concentration would probably be needed for serious pollution control, but with improvements, this material could have a lot of applications for keeping water, air and agricultural pollution under control.
The team is working on printing the material into many different types of shapes to see if certain shapes affect the chemical reactivity and to see which shapes best perform against environmental pollutants.
Their work was just published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Tropical Storm Arthur is expected to become the first Atlantic hurricane this year and could cause rip current and other problems at the Jersey Shore, according to forecasters.
The storm's center may come close to or barely skirt the Shore on the Fourth of July, according to the National Hurricane Center forecast track.
But some good news is that the storm won't be arriving during a full moon or new moon high tide, according to David A. Robinson, the New Jersey state climatologist at Rutgers University.

This is the first Vacro release. See the Users Guide for details and known issues to date. This release is dynamic: Updates to it that do not become new releases will replace older ones.
The list of available named repeaters produced by typing the launch command with no arguments now omits named repeaters that are already loaded.
The defaults command may now be typed with no arguments to display the defaults for both MME and KS repeater types at once.
The manual now includes a Quick Start section.
Selection lists for repeaters and devices allow multiple selections at once; so, for example, it is possible to close several repeaters at once. Numbers may be separated by commas and/or spaces, and ranges like 1-3 and 1..3 are also supported.
There is now a defaults command for setting up default repeater options. defaults MME /BufferMs:100 sets up a default buffer length for MME repeaters. See the manual for a list of supported options.
Repeaters named on the command line are saved under that name for future reference, and the launch command supports launching them by name: MME l1 l2 12 creates a repeater named "12" that connects VAC line 1 to line 2. Subsequently, launch 12 can be used to launch it. launch 12 /BufferMs:200 launches it with a 200 ms buffer length without changing the normal buffer length for that repeater.
There is now a delete (or just del) command for deleting saved repeaters.
The manual includes a succinct command list near the beginning.
Vacro attempts to set its console title to "Vacro."
First public revision posted. Allows repeaters to be created, closed, started, stopped, shown, hidden, and listed from within Vacro.

The van owner who drove Channel 4 television crew including its director Callum Macrae to Colombo has lodged a complaint with Slave Island police today.
Police sent back the 6 Channel 4 journalists to Colombo after their journey to Vavuniya was barred by demonstrators in Anuradhapura.
The cab driver S.K. Sanjeeva de Silva said that he dropped the Channel 4 crew including Macrae in a hotel in Dambulla to spend the night and later he drove them Colombo this morning.
However Sanjeewa said that when he asked the film crew to pay for the journey, they have refused to pay 30,000 rupees, and asked the driver to charge the fee from the Dambulla hotel or from the police.
When contacted, Police Media Spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said that investigations will be carried out on the particular complaint against the Channel 4 crew.
Meanwhile another demonstration was held against the Channel 4 television crew in Vavuniya town today and traffic was blocked on the A-9 road due to the demonstration.

How do you get vine-ripened tomatoes to the market before they spoil? As quickly as possible. Whether grocery stores, food services, or big box merchants are relying on you for fresh produce or shelf-stable food and beverages, you have to act fast. Making smart stocking decisions takes access to reliable data and swift responsiveness, as well as innovative software solutions.
Many food and beverage businesses feel the pressure with striking the right balance between product availability, quantity, and freshness. You want to provide products in quantities that fit on customers' shelves and are fresh while minimizing the potential for spoilage. Additional pressure to control costs is also a constant.

This solution offers demand forecasting and inventory planning features which can support your ability to provide the right products, in the right quantities, at the right time to your customers. You can forecast inventory based on product, product and customer, product and region, or other variables such as seasonal sales or special promotions. Identifying and monitoring trending data can support your responsiveness to customer demands, as well as position your business to deliver products to customers quickly and while they are fresh or ahead of their expiration dates.
The Requirements Planner solution provides additional time-saving automations such as speedier purchase order and procurement processes. The faster you can order from vendors or transfer items from warehouses, the faster products can get to customers' shelves.

(See Freddie Mac rates below.)
There is little possible downside left, if any, in interest rates although rates may remain flat before rising. This is a truly an exceptional opportunity for those who can find a way to purchase property. We may never again be able to lock-in such low long-term rates along with bargain priced real estate.
For the week ending June 7th the Freddie Mac survey revealed a continuation – now 6 straight weeks – of the recent record decline.
30-year fixed-rate mortgage average 3.67% with 0.7 point. It was 4.49% a year ago.
15-year fixed rate is now 2.94% with 0.7 point, last year: 3.68%.

David Cameron has promised a public inquiry into the "absolutely disgusting" phone hacking at the News of the World.
Speaking at Prime Minister's Question Time this afternoon, Cameron backed calls for an investigation into claims that the Sunday tabloid had commissioned and sanctioned a private investigator to hack the mobile phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002.
"We do need to have an inquiry, possibly inquiries, into what has happened," he said. "We are no longer talking here about politicians and celebrities, we are talking about murder victims, potentially terrorist victims, having their phones hacked into.
"It is absolutely disgusting, what has taken place, and I think everyone in this House [of Commons] and indeed this country will be revolted by what they have heard and what they have seen on their television screens."
Cameron stated that "vital areas" including why the original police inquiry failed "to get to the bottom of what happened" must be examined.
> News of the World bosses 'know who commissioned Milly Dowler hacking'
> Rebekah Brooks past link with Milly Dowler private detective 'revealed'
However, Labour leader Ed Miliband criticised Cameron for being "out of touch", when it was explained that an inquiry could not be launched until the ongoing police investigation had concluded. Miliband insisted that it was "possible for the prime minister to start the process now".
"It may be possible to make a start on other elements," Cameron conceded, adding that he would be willing to hold talks with Miliband and the other party leaders, Attorney General Dominic Grieve and Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell.
As well as calling on Cameron to back his calls for News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks - who was editor of the News of the World during the alleged Dowler hacking - to quit her position, Miliband also questioned the PM's decision to hire another former editor Andy Coulson as his communications director. Coulson quit the role earlier this year.
"He's got to accept that he made a catastrophic error of judgement by bringing Andy Coulson into the heart of the Downing Street machine," Miliband declared.
News International has said that it welcomes the proposal of a public inquiry into standards within the media, according to BBC News.

Reviewed and revised 30 July 2014
- Physical restraint is any manual method, physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a patient to move his or her arms, legs, body, or head freely
- Seclusion is the involuntary confinement of a patient alone in a room or area from which the patient is physically prevented from leaving
- all available alternative treatment options should be considered before administering chemical or physical restraint, as it infringes an individual's autonomy and dignity
- actual or high risk of harm to self, others or property where verbal de-escalation is inappropriate or ineffective
- medical instability
- risk of harm to staff in applying restraint
- alternative strategies available and appropriate
Exclude other therapeutic options first
- e.g. attempt verbal de-escalation and involvement of trusted others
Ensure safety at all times
- do not attempt physical restraint if inadequate staff available
- if unsafe allow patient to leave
- call Police if appropriate
Prepare physical restraint team
- activate the appropriate code to assemble team
- requires 6 trained staff
- Personal protective equipment: Gloves, gowns and face-masks when possible
- brief team (e.g. indication, size of patient, specific risks e.g. martial arts training, potential weapons)
- allocate roles and and state plan of action
- decide on trigger word to be used to initiate action
- give patient a final chance to comply with requests with restraint team in attendance ('show of force')
Initiate manual restraint
- one person for each limb
- one person controls the head (has airway skills)
- one person to administer pre-prepared medications
- restrain limbs with one arm above and one arm below the knee
- trigger word used to initiate patient take down; some advise initially into a prone position (safest for staff) but patient must not remain prone
- Arms beside body, legs extended – alternative is to have one arm up (reduces movement)
- avoid neck or torso restraint (unsafe for patient), avoid hobble restraints (i.e. tying hands and legs behind back)
- use medical grade restraints secured to the bed-frame (not side-rails)
- explain to patient what is happening at all times
During manual restraint
- administer chemical restraint when safe to do so
- supine position
- Elevate head of bed to 30 degrees (decrease aspiration risk)
- No pillows (decrease suffocation risk)
- perform cyclical limb release if possible
- ensure appropriate fluid maintenance, toileting and pressure cares
Monitoring (according to depth of sedation) may include:
- Pulse and respiratory rate
- An initial temperature should be recorded
- Pulse oximetry
- Blood pressure
- Close monitoring of conscious state and airway adequacy
- neurovascular observations distal to restraints
- reason for restraint
- alternative therapies attempted
- assessment of potential injuries and any complications of restraint
- monitoring plan
- thresholds for further interventions
- ongoing sedation options and sedation chart
Removal of restraints
- as soon as possible
- once patient is calm and/or sedated
- remove restraints from one limb at a time, start ith a leg then contra-lateral arm
- place in recovery position if sedated
- close observation will be necessary until the patient recovers from sedation (able to safely eat, drink and toilet)
- debrief patient when calm (explain what happen, ask patient to volunteer what they could have done differently, agree on future strategy)
- psychiatric assessment

Less than a month after launching a scheme to lure customers away from T-Mobile by paying off termination fees up to $450, AT&T has cut the program and changed course.
Multiple reports note that the company is no longer pitching customers on the plan, in which users who opted to switch from T-Mobile to AT&T could have their cancellation fees – up to $450 – refunded by Big Phone.
Instead, AT&T is pitching a new family plan in which it offers users credits of up to $100 when adding a new line or device to their accounts.
"These new plans give customers what they want – our best-ever prices on a best-in-class network," AT&T Mobility chief marketing officer David Christopher said.
"We're making it easy for families who want it all – great service, great value and big bucket of data to share," he added in language well-suited to his profession.
The move signals an about-face for AT&T less than one month after the company launched the $450 credit plan in an effort to undercut rival T-Mobile. The two firms have long been locked in a publicity battle which has at times left both sides looking more than a bit juvenile.
The war of words reached its height at CES, when T-Mobile boss John Legere documented himself attending, and being ejected from, an AT&T media event at the Las Vegas conference. Legere later defended the stunt claiming he "just wanted to see Macklemore."
Legere is continuing to needle AT&T for its decision to cancel its T-Mobile poaching plan. Shortly after learning of the news, he launched a series of Tweets aimed at the company.
That was quick! @ATT already revoking the $450 bribe to @TMobile customers? People weren't falling for it, were they #Randall? #doingitwrong

At least we know @ATT can do something fast! They already ended their $450 bribe offer to @TMobile customers! #GoRandallGo

Who hasn't heard of Facebook founder and business tycoon Mark Zuckerberg, especially now that Hollywood has made him famous through the movie The Social Network? And what does multi-billionaire Zuckerberg have to do with your own legal web marketing efforts?
Zuckerberg has it right: develop a product that's the hottest thing going since the Internet or the remote control and you get to call the shots, regardless of the reported cost or the time of day. It's reported Zuckerberg turned down a billion-dollar deal because the timing didn't work for him due to a social conflict and the fact that he doesn't like early morning meetings.
Follow your passion and you'll reap the rewards.
Obviously Zuckerberg follows this golden rule, and so can you. If your practice is your passion, then starting a web marketing campaign or simply executing your current efforts more effectively will only increase your bottom line.
To most of us, a billion dollars would mean the world. But to Mark Zuckerberg, it was a pittance. Why? Because he had confidence in this first-of-its-kind online viral medium and knew it was being sorely undervalued. How can you be sure you aren't under-performing on your legal web marketing efforts and being under-valued by prospective clients?
Ask yourself some questions about your legal web marketing plan:
- Are you using all of the appropriate online marketing platforms to your advantage?
- Are you effectively using key words on your website, your blog, and all of your social media outlets, including YouTube?
- Are you building an editorial schedule that suits your practice and your followers, thus enhancing your bottom line?
If you feel like your web marketing strategy needs a boost, give the internet marketing experts at Foster Web Marketing a call for a consultation at 888-886-0939. Also, be sure to take a look at our book Explode Your Practice through Internet Marketing.

Software Firm Must Provide Transit Subsidies
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustments Board mandated that a private software company provide transit subsidies to its employees as a condition of approval of its use permit onThursday.
A group of North Berkeley neighbors expressed concern about traffic impacts from a proposed project at 1995-1999 El Dorado Ave. The applicant wants to build 4,234 square feet of office space in a renovated multi-tenant building, and to increase its height from 17.75 feet to 26.5 feet.
Designed by David Trachtenberg—the architect who designed Berkeley Bowl—the building would be the only commercial building in the area apart from the PG&E substation located to its west.
Trachtenberg told the zoning board that renovation and restoration plans include modifying the front facade and raising a part of the single-story roof to match the one on the second story.
A couple of residents expressed concern about the scale of the project and how it would impact their privacy. Others complained that a software company was not an appropriate use for the area , which was zoned as a neighborhood commercial district, since it was not "functionally relevant" to the neighbors.
The board asked applicant Brendan Madden, who owns Tom Sawyer Software, to limit the firm's hours of operation to between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., as required by zoning in the neighborhood, and to limit patio hours for its staff from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to address privacy concerns.
More than six neighbors testified about the lack of parking on the 1900 block of El Dorado, but said most of their concerns were addressed by a parking distribution plan Madden handed out right before the meeting which was later added to the board's list of conditions.
Madden outlined several public transit alternatives for his employees in this plan, including AC Transit, BART and a company shuttle which would drop off and pick up employees from the downtown BART, and a distribution of parking spots around the neighborhood which were not time-limited.
The list also included transit subsidies—a tax-free commuter benefits program which allows employees to save on qualified commuting expenses—which zoning commissioner Jesse Arreguin suggested be included in the list of use permit conditions to minimize parking impacts.

I was privileged recently to go on a pilgrimage with Fr. Dwight Longenecker and forty-eight other pilgrims to the Holy Land. We were retracing the steps of the Magi from Jordan into Israel. The pilgrimage was based on the historical detective work that Fr. Longenecker produced in his book Mystery of the Magi: The Quest to Identify the Three Wise Men. One of the main points of this intriguing book is to demythologize the story of the Magi and root them in history. Why does this story need demythologizing? There is nothing overtly harmful to the faith in the present-day retelling of the "three kings," typically named "Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar," who come from distant countries like "Persia, Babylonia, and India." The only issue is that parts of it are fable. It is these fable-parts that are used to attack the faith, calling it just another made-up myth of the Church. Fr. Longenecker's book blunts this attack by placing the Magi in a historical context.
Modern secularists like to cast a wide net, portraying not only Christmas, but also the life of Christ as fable. They say there was no virgin birth, no miracles, and no resurrection. According to them, we can know very little about the historical Jesus, what he did or said, or even if he existed at all. God becoming man is just another made-up story, falling into the genre of ancient Near East mystery religions. In short, Jesus is a myth. Worse yet, the people who believe the myth are foolhardy and weak of mind. Marx and Lenin called religion the 'opium for the people.' Prominent atheist Richard Dawkins even goes so far as to write children's books trying "to save kids" from the perils of religion. Christmas is scary!
In one sense, they are right. Christianity is myth. Christianity highlights the themes of good and evil, tragedy and triumph, supernatural feats and ordinary failings. The archetypal hero with a thousand faces can be seen in the Bible. These profound undercurrents of truth run deeply through the human soul. Christianity is a myth, but it is, as C. S. Lewis called, a 'true myth:' "a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it really happened." God's myth is greater than man's myth, as it is incarnational in nature.
C.S. Lewis' good friend, J.R.R. Tolkien, penned a modern-day mythic tale in his Lord of the Rings books, weaving in Catholic themes about heroes, truth, death and redemption. G.K. Chesterton spoke about Christianity as the fulfillment of myth as well: "The Catholic faith is the reconciliation because it is the realization both of mythology and philosophy. It is a story and in that sense one of a hundred stories; only it is a true story." God's true story is revealed to us in the events of the life of Christ.
Lewis, Tolkien, and Chesterton used myth in the truest and most profound sense of the word. That is, all the spiritual truths that percolated up into ancient man's mind found their realization in the person of Christ. The use of myth today is more of the petty, slanderous kind, with accusations of "untruth." Think of the ancient Christian "Icthys"fish symbol ("Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior" used by 1st century Christians to mark secret meeting spots in the time of pagan persecutions), which is now mocked on cars with the labels "science" or "Darwin." The irony is that the more science digs into Christianity, the more evidence of its truth is discovered. This has been no more evident than in recent Biblical archeological discoveries.
Fr. Longenecker's book establishes the Magi in history, just as many of the archeological sites we visited on our pilgrimage fix Judaism and Christianity in history. There are the caves at Qumran near the shores of the Dead Sea where nearly a thousand scrolls or fragments of scrolls were discovered beginning in 1947. These are the writings from the Jewish religious sect known as the Essenes, contemporaries of Jesus. The archeological discovery found copies, in part or in whole, for nearly all the books of the Hebrew Bible, except Esther. More importantly, the 2,000-year-old scrolls show only minor divergences from modern translations of the Old Testament. This proves the many textual critics of the Bible wrong. The text of the Bible has remained intact and substantially unchanged throughout its history.
The pilgrimage also allowed us to see first-hand that we are now in a 'golden age' of biblical archeology. Ironically (to some), this golden age is powered by scientific advancements and new disciplines; things like archaeoastronomy, Lidar studies, and ground penetrating radar, to name just a few. There are examples of new discoveries everywhere you go in Israel and Jordan. In 1986, two fisherman and amateur archeologists uncovered the "Jesus boat" in the muddy lakebed in the Sea of Galilee during a severe drought. The fishing boat was radiocarbon-dated to between 120 B.C.-40 A.D., or roughly the time of Christ. The Apostles would have fished in a boat exactly like this one. In 2004, the "Pool of Siloam" was discovered, where Jesus cured a blind man by having him wash mud out of his eyes. (Jn. 9:7) A drainage repair crew working on pipe maintenance uncovered large stone steps down into the pool. In 2007, archeologists discovered the long-lost tomb of Herod at his Herodium fortress. In 2009, while building a retreat house along the northern side of the Sea of Galilee, crews unearthed the remains of a first century synagogue at Magdala (home of Mary Magdalene). This discovery is now the oldest synagogue in the Galilee, with the oldest known representation of the Temple on the "Magdala Stone," and is likely one of the hallowed grounds where Jesus frequented and taught.
In October 2016, a renovation project funded by National Geographic was done at the tomb of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Some historians had previously believed that the original cave was not there, not that old, or doubted that this was the actual site of Christ's burial (and resurrection) at all. An archeologist using ground-penetrating radar, however, proved them wrong. He was able to determine that the original cave walls were, in fact, still present. The simple cave is still there underneath the millennium of marble, icons and incense of the ornate Edicule shrine.
Mortar samples, taken from between the limestone cave-surface and the marble slab of the tomb, carbon-dated to about 345 A.D. This is exactly the right time frame when the Emperor Constantine would have discovered the tomb and built the current shrine around it. The Emperor Hadrian had built a pagan temple to Venus over the Christian holy site, as a means to cover up Christ's burial spot, and presumably to stop Christian worship there. Constantine subsequently destroyed the pagan shrine and excavated the site around 326 A.D., nearly matching the 345 A.D. date, and lending credence to this being the actual location of Christ's tomb. Modern science again proved the historical veracity of Christianity.
At no place in the pilgrimage did Old Testament typology burst forth more into New Testament history than at "Shepherd's Field," an eastern suburb of Bethlehem. It is the site traditionally where the angel announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds tending to their sheep. The shepherds were the precursors to the Magi in worshiping the Christ child. The prophet Micah had made an ancient prophecy (8th century B.C.) of the birthplace of the Messiah in the city of David, Bethlehem: "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me, one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days."(Micah 5:2) The Messiah, "the Son of David," would be born in Bethlehem, like King David before him.
This is the prophecy that was cited to king Herod by his wise men, when the Magi came looking for the newborn king of the Jews. Herod also perverted this into his maniacal slaughter of the innocence in Bethlehem. At Shepherd's Field, the angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds, saying: "And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."(Lk. 2:12) This "sign" would be the fulfillment of Micah's prophecy. The shepherds and the location were not coincidental either.
These were no ordinary sheep and no ordinary shepherds. Shepherd's Field is where thousands of lambs were born and used for the daily sacrifices, and more importantly, the Passover sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem, as intimated in the ancient Jewish oral tradition of the Mishnah(e.g., Shekalim, 7.4) and Alfred Edersheim's The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah (Bk.2, Ch.6). The "shepherds" were not ordinary shepherds either, but most likely Levite priests. They were specifically stationed there at Shepherd's Field to pasture the sheep and preserve the newborn lambs 'without blemish'or 'broken bone,' to meet the requirements of the Law for Temple sacrifices. The unblemished lambs were then chosen from Shepherd's Field in Bethlehem and kept for the annual Passover sacrifice in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Shepherd's Field and Bethlehem highlight the convergence of Christ, biblical prophecy, God's true myth, and archeology. Jesus was the fulfillment of the angel's announcement to the shepherd-priests. It is fitting that when the shepherds came to the manger, they found not a baby lamb, but the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Jesus is the true 'Lamb of God,'who was the fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice of the lamb, in order to take away sin and keep us from death. John the Baptist knew Jesus fulfilled this typology of the Passover lamb, saying: "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"(Jn. 1:29) Like many of the Christian sites in the Holy Land, the scriptures, Old Testament typology, and history come together to reveal the divine plan in the person of Jesus Christ.
Diving even deeper into the Old Testament symbology, Jesus is the Passover lamb who must be eaten. He is the fulfillment of God's true myth rooted in history. The little town of Bethlehem means 'house of bread' in Hebrew and 'house of meat' in Arabic. Bethlehem intimates the 'bread and flesh' of Jesus in the Eucharist. Jesus was also placed in a manger (i.e., a feeding trough), symbolism hinting that he is food that gives life. It is no wonder that when the shepherd-priests found the newborn Christ-child, as the angel had announced, "all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them."(Lk. 2:18) This same wonder is with us still in the ongoing afterglow of the birth of Christ.

Could These Be Harming Your Health While Not Even Saving Energy? | Amoils.com
There has been a massive campaign to encourage and, in some cases, even force householders to change from the 100 year old incandescent light bulb to CFL bulbs or to LED bulbs in the interests of saving energy and protecting the environment. However, in spite of their energy efficiency and supposed long lasting capabilities, we are now being warned of the dangers and toxicity of these same CFL bulbs – even when we do not manage to break them.
How different bulbs work
Incandescent bulbs work by heating elements inside the bulb to burn bright and create light with some 90% of the energy used being wasted on the heating process.
CFL bulbs work when the electricity supply causes gases within the bulb to excite and produce ultraviolet radiation. This in turn reacts with mercury and phosphorous based compounds to light up. It is these toxins in the bulbs which are said to be dangerous – both to us and to the environment.
And there is no better evidence of this toxicity than the public instructions on how to clear up a CFL bulb if it should break!
First steps for clearing up
1. Have people and pets leave the room, and avoid the breakage area on the way out.
2. Open a window or door to the outdoors and leave the room for 5-10 minutes.
3. Shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning (H&AC) system, if you have one.
4. Collect materials you will need to clean up the broken bulb:
– Stiff paper or cardboard
– Sticky tape (eg duct tape)
– Damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes (for hard surfaces)
– Glass jar with a metal lid (such as a canning jar) or a seal-able plastic bag(s)
Cleanup steps for hard surfaces
1. Carefully scoop up glass fragments and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place debris and paper/cardboard in a glass jar with a metal lid or if unavailable, seal-able plastic bag. (NOTE: Since a plastic bag will not prevent the mercury vapor from escaping, remove the plastic bag(s) from the home after cleanup.)
2. Use sticky tape to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder and place in the glass jar or plastic bag.
3. Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes before placing in the glass jar or plastic bag.
4. Vacuuming of hard surfaces during cleanup is not recommended unless broken glass remains after all other cleanup steps have been taken. [NOTE: It is possible that vacuuming could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor, although available information on this problem is limited.] If vacuuming is needed to ensure removal of all broken glass, keep the following tips in mind:
– Keep a window or door to the outdoors open;
– Vacuum the area where the bulb was broken using the vacuum hose (,if available) and
– Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister) and seal the bag/vacuum debris, and any materials used to clean the vacuum, in a plastic bag.
5. Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in a trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
6. Next, check with your local government about disposal requirements in your area, because some localities require fluorescent bulbs (broken or unbroken) be taken to a local recycling center. If there is no such requirement in your area, you can dispose of the materials with your household trash.
7. Wash your hands with soap and water after disposing of the jars or plastic bags containing bulb debris and cleanup materials.
8. Continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the H&AC system shut off, as practical, for several hours.
There are even further instructions about coping with a carpeted area and more.
The risk of damage to your skin
Now according to the Natural Society a recent study by researchers, from Stony Brook University in New York, has shown how CFL bulbs are actually capable of damaging your skin with UVA radiation. They report: "For the study, the researchers purchased CFL bulb from various locations, and then measured the amount of UV radiation emissions. What they found was "significant levels of UVC and UVA" which was a result of cracks that were present in the coating on the bulbs (that is every single one of the bulbs studied.)"
After studying the effects of these emissions on human skin cells, they discovered that healthy skin cells experienced the same damage you would find with ultraviolet radiation. Similar tests were also conducted using incandescent light bulbs of the same intensity along with the implementation of UV-absorbing Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, which are found within many personal care products. While the incandescent light bulbs had no negative effect on healthy skin cells, the researchers couldn't say the same for CFL bulbs.
The researchers concluded: "Our study revealed that the response of healthy skin cells to UV emitted from CFL bulbs is consistent with damage from ultraviolet radiation. Skin cell damage was further enhanced when low dosages of TiO2 nanoparticles were introduced to the skin cells prior to exposure. Despite their large energy savings, consumers should be careful when using compact fluorescent light bulbs – our research shows that it is best to avoid using them at close distances and that they are safest when placed behind an additional glass cover."
Continuous release of harmful and cancer causing chemicals
CFL bulbs continually release harmful and cancer causing chemicals (far beyond the safe level) over a period of weeks to months.
"In addition to having a potential negative impact on your skin, these bulbs emit toxic chemicals. In fact, only months after it was found that energy saving fluorescent bulbs release carcinogenic chemicals into the air, a new study has found that these harmful chemicals are continually released from the bulbs over a period of weeks to months. In addition, these bulbs also release levels of mercury which exceed the "safe" levels for humans."
How energy efficient are they anyway?
Even those large energy savings are being questioned. In his blog post – "CFL Fluorescent Light Bulbs: More Hype Than Value" – Paul Wheaton says: "I used to like fluorescent lights and then I changed my mind." He goes on to prove at great length how incandescent bulbs are actually more energy efficient than the CFL versions after all. You can see all his statistics and experiments here.
Many concerned consumers are stockpiling incandescent bulbs
They are worried that these bulbs will become outlawed or unavailable, and want to make sure they have sufficient supplies to keep them going for years to come.
My own experience of mercury
I still remember how, as children, my brother and I would be so pleased when a glass thermometer in the house broke because we would be able to save the mercury and add it to our stash, which we kept hidden away in a small box, to be brought out and played with often. Even in my high school science class, in the early 1960s, there was a large jar of mercury which we were permitted to handle.
And a CFL bulb contains a very small amount of mercury – less than 1/100th of that amount in an old glass mercury thermometer.
