How to Test if a Gas Cooktop Regulator Is Good
A gas regulator for a cooktop decreases or increases the pressure of gas in a line before it reaches the cooktop. A regulator has three components that are used to reduce or increase pressure. When the regulator knob is turned to decrease pressure, it compresses a spring, which serves as the loading mechanism. The sensing element and control element sense this pressure and adjust the pressure of the gas flowing through the line. If the gas regulator on the cooktop is not functioning properly, the pressure buildup can result in a gas leak.
Turn off the gas shutoff valve near the cooktop by turning it clockwise.
Take off the cap on the regulator by removing the screw on top with a screwdriver. The gas regulator is generally located beneath the cooktop near the gas inlet.
Press the "On/Off" button on a manometer to turn it on. Check the display to ensure the current reading is "0." If the reading is not "0," pull off the two hoses and press the "Zero/Store" button.
Connect the hose on the positive line on the manometer to the regulator inlet located beneath the removed cap. Turn the gas shutoff valve counterclockwise to turn the gas on, and check the display on the manometer. A reading of "0" indicates that the gas cooktop regulator is not functioning properly and requires replacement. If a number is displayed, the regulator is working correctly.
Turn the shutoff valve on the gas line clockwise to turn the gas off, and remove the hose on the manometer. Place the cap on the regulator, replace the screw and tighten it to secure the cap. Turn the shutoff valve on the gas line counterclockwise to turn on the gas.
Things Needed
- Screwdriver
- Manometer
- Contact a qualified repairman to replace the gas cooktop regulator if it is not functioning properly.

Ethics is one of the four main sections of the Christian Evidence website, alongside Faith, Science and History. In these pages we explore key contemporary ethical issues, including mental illness and emotional well-being, ethical behaviour in a market economy, advances in biotechnology and molecular biology which are revolutionising what is possible in the world of medicine, and the issues surrounding abortion.
Lecture series marks our 150th birthday
We're very pleased to announce that we're marking the 150th anniversary of the Christian Evidence Society with a lecture series, delivered at cathedrals around Britain. More here
Spring and summer programme of talks
We've recently started working with the Montgomery Trust, which funds lectures and talks on the Christian faith by expert speakers. Here's the line-up of talks around the UK in the spring and summer. More here
Improving the world through science and faith
Professor Douglas Lauffenburger, Head of the Biological Engineering at MIT, talks to Nigel Bovey about his scientific research into cancer, and the personal faith which gives his life meaning and helps him to improve the world. More here
Robots and religion
In the near future, our world will probably be populated by artificial intelligence and robots. How will this affect work, relationships and religion? Nigel Bovey talks to Dr Beth Singler of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Cambridge. More here
Taking care of the planet
Sir Brian Heap, biologist and project leader of B4FA (Biosciences for Farming in Africa) talks to Nigel Bovey about the science and ethics behind population growth, environmental sustainability and climate change. More here
The environmental crisis is a people crisis
Michael Northcott, who is Professor of Ethics at the University of Edinburgh, believes that 'until we see an environmental crisis as a people crisis, we run the risk of not seeing its scale, impact or urgency'. He talks to Nigel Bovey about the challenge facing the planet and its people, and the positive role which faith can play. More here
At the sharp end of suffering
Professor Richard Hain, a consultant in paediatric palliative medicine at the Children's Hospital Cardiff, provides care to children with serious illnesses. His work deals with some of the deepest questions about human suffering. 'This isn't the way it is supposed to happen,' he says. Nigel Bovey talked to him about his life and faith. More here
On the quest for a cure
Sue Kimber, Professor of Stem Cells and Development at the University of Manchester and Co-Director of the North West Embryonic Stem Cell Centre, talks to Nigel Bovey about the ethics surrounding her research and how it integrates with her Christian faith. More here
Posthumanism, technology and immortality
Posthumanism's commitment to use technology to extend longevity and enhance physical and cognitive performance is changing the way we see ourselves. Social ethics Professor Brent Waters talks to Nigel Bovey about the issues. More here
Debate on assisted dying
A public debate on the ethical, moral and spiritual questions raised by 'end of life' issues took place in central London on Thursday 11 October. Lord Falconer put the case for a change in the law to give assisted dying a legal framework, while Professor Nigel Biggar, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, argued for the law to remain unchanged. More here
In the psychiatrist's care
He holds powers of detention. He battles for people who cannot help themselves. He fights stigma and misunderstanding. Dr Rob Waller, Consultant Psychiatrist at St John's Hospital, Livingston, talks to Nigel Bovey about mental illness and emotional well-being. More here
Integrity and the markets
As a student he was a Marxist. Today, in true poacher-turned-gamekeeper fashion, Ken Costa is chairman of one of London's most prestigious investment banks, Lazard International. In his role he studies the markets and advises government ministers and company directors around the world. He is also a Christian. More here
Advances in medicine and the quest for wisdom
Advances in biotechnology and molecular biology are revolutionising what is possible in the world of medicine. Lee Rayfield, Bishop of Swindon, looks at the ethical and philosophical questions this raises. More here
Geoff Marshall-Taylor, formerly Executive Producer, BBC Education, looks at Christian attitudes to abortion. Christians, like the members of the other main world religions, have important beliefs about life and these ideas influence their views on abortion. However, Christians disagree about whether abortion should ever be allowed and, if it is, about the circumstances in which it can be allowed. More here

Poor Analysis
Bush is "pleased with lower poverty rate." Here on our planet, the situation is different.
Wednesday was a good day at the beleaguered White House, a chance to finally spring some good news on Americans. "President Bush Pleased With Lowered Poverty Rate" was the headline cranked out by the press office:
Only slightly marring this great development:
"Challenges remain in reducing the number"? That's a clever lie, denying the truth that the number of uninsured Americans is in fact increasing and that the "rising incomes" are illusory. From the hardworking Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), a mainstream centrist think tank, comes this analysis:
Today's figures also show that while the overall poverty rate declined slightly (from 12.6 percent to 12.3 percent) between 2005 and 2006, the decline was largely concentrated among the elderly. The poverty rates for children and for working age adults remained statistically unchanged as compared to 2005, and well above their levels in 2001, when the last recession hit bottom.
Now let's get realistic. The federal poverty level is $20,000 annual income for a family of four. You try raising a family on that.
Social-service pros routinely measure "low-income families" as those whose annual income is 200 percent of the official poverty rate. The National Center for Children in Poverty breaks it down in language that even Bush, whose handlers are busy building his library, could understand, if he bothered to read anything:
Yes, there are always poor people, but there are more and more of them you. And while Bush trumpets the "progress" in the Census figures, his regime is actually taking action that will guarantee worsening future numbers. As the CBPP's Robert Greenstein points out:
This is particularly noteworthy because the President has vowed to veto legislation that the House and Senate passed (in different versions) that would resume progress in this area and shrink the number of uninsured children by 3 to 4 million. In addition, on August 17, the Administration unveiled a controversial new policy that would force many states to cut back their SCHIP programs, forcing up to several hundred thousand more children into the ranks of the uninsured. Today's sobering data on the rising number of uninsured children should prompt the President to rethink his positions on children's health insurance.
That policy is the real news coming out of the White House.

The Centre has shown that it is impossible to practice politics without some measure of subterfuge. In a notification dated 7 January 2016, the Central Government allowed the use of bulls in jallikattu and bullock cart races in the name of tradition, which is in flagrant opposition to a ruling by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that unequivocally banned the use of bulls in such events. Jallikattu is a popular practice in Tamil Nadu and the ability to ensure its continuation may be politically motivated. That the Centre has taken a desultory interest in animal welfare is evident from the fact that the very act of making bulls fight or race is itself contradictory to their welfare as noted by the Hon'ble court in its judgement.
Photo credit: Jallikattu via free images(license)
The practice of jallikattu originated in an event where a pouch of coins was tied to the horns of a bull. Village youth were expected to "tame" the bull by grabbing the pouch while the animal gave chase. In its current form, it forms part of an annual celebration where bulls are especially selected and groomed for this event.
Many animals suffer from broken humps and bitten and twisted tails resulting in dislocation and amputation.
On a designated day, owners line up at the waiting area where bulls are made to stand for hours on end in their own waste, without any access to food and water in lines so narrow that they have to adopt an awkward sideways gait to move. Many animals are known to collapse from heat, hunger, fear and exhaustion. Instead of ensuring medical help, organisers, owners and in many cases, even government officials often violently kick, beat and poke the bulls into movement. Many animals suffer from broken humps and bitten and twisted tails resulting in dislocation and amputation. Unscrupulous owners rub irritants into their eyes and noses and force liquids alleged to be alcohol into their mouths.
As they run into the arena, "bull-tamers" launch themselves onto the hapless animals, oftentimes bringing them crashing to the ground, thus maiming them. Even as they run out of the arena, bull handlers catch them using crude lassos and often drag them by inserting fingers into their nostrils. Terrified bulls may also be chased onto the streets by frenzied spectators.
Officers of the Animal Welfare Board of India documented the races and the resulting cruelty inflicted upon bulls. The SC took cognizance of these reports in its ruling. In issuing the recent notification in favour of these events, the Centre has stated that they will be regulated as per Sections 3, 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(m)(ii) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, ostensibly to uphold the SC judgement. According to Section 3, persons in charge of animals are responsible for their well-being. Additionally, Section 11(1)(a) bans the inflicting of pain and suffering upon any animal while 11(1)(m)(ii) prohibits inciting an animal to fight for entertainment.
The fact that the Centre brazenly promotes such practices makes a mockery of the country's established laws, reducing them to mere words with no impact.
By this standard, jallikattu and other forms of bull races continue to remain illegal. These bull races also violate the internationally recognised five freedoms of animals alluded to in the SC judgement:
(1) Freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition
(2) Freedom from fear and distress
(3) Freedom from physical and thermal discomfort
(4) Freedom from pain, injury and disease
(5) Freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour.

The fact remains that events like jallikattu are a form of abuse. Bulls are gentle, peaceful animals that are not prone to aggression unless wilfully provoked. As prey animals, their auditory senses are extremely sharp and hence, they are sensitive to loud sounds. In the presence of a perceived threat, they are known to exhibit a fight or flight response. The heinous physical abuse coupled with the haranguing crowds induces extreme fear thus forcing them to flee into the arena. Owing to their bulk, bulls are unsuited to run at high speeds for long distances, which adds to their physical distress. The fact that the Centre brazenly promotes such practices makes a mockery of the country's established laws, reducing them to mere words with no impact.
How then do the powers-that-be sanction cruelty against sentient animals and glorify it as heritage?
The opposition to this move doesn't stem from mawkish support of animal welfare; rather it questions the human behaviour of subjecting animals to pain and suffering for their entertainment. As humans, we pride ourselves on our ability to reason; as a nation we pride ourselves on our principles of ahimsa, and on our evolving outlook which saw the end of anachronistic practices like Sati and child marriage that would be considered anathema today. We demand that modern India be built on the foundations of growth, development and even the internet! How then do the powers-that-be sanction cruelty against sentient animals and glorify it as heritage? Should this come to pass, we will bequeath to future generations a heritage of cruelty. That burden will not be an easy one to bear.

The Piedmont Group of the Sierra Club is urging the community to speak out against the usage of synthetic chemical pesticides in parks and on school grounds. Though city staff has taken steps to reduce the overall use of toxic chemicals in those areas, environmentalists hope to make 2016 the year in which they are nixed for good.
On April 20, 2015, City Council passed a resolution stating that it is "committed to reducing overall pesticide use and eliminating pesticide use where feasible" in as many sites as possible, especially those called on by the Sierra Club.
"They should only be used if there was some serious threat to human health or to the environment," John Cruickshank of the Piedmont Sierra Club says, adding that he would not object to the use of synthetic chemical pesticides in emergency situations, such as a beehive on a playground or poison ivy "running rampant," but even then, safer options, such as biopesticides, could be tried first.
At a May 2 council meeting, Cruickshank said 1,205 people had signed the club's petition that supports pesticide-free parks and schools, and many people were surprised to learn that city groundskeepers still use products such as Snapshot, Oryzalin, ProStar and Roundup QuikPro.
In mid-April, the European Parliament voted to ban most usages of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, which the World Health Organization has declared a probable carcinogen.
Jackie Lombardo, who is on the Sierra Club's pesticides committee, says there are several negative health effects associated with glyphosate, including blurred vision, nausea and asthma.
She also cites studies that have shown that farmers' exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides is linked to increased risks of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, miscarriages and attention deficit disorder.
Doug Ehman, the parks division manager, says most pesticides the city uses have a lower toxicity than aspirin, and the main one it uses is glyphosate. It's mainly used for weed suppression, and he says it's more effective than a biopesticide because it's a metabolic inhibitor—it poisons the root of a weed, keeps it from creating its own food through photosynthesis and causes a weed to eventually starve to death.
"We're not out there spraying willy-nilly," Ehman says. "We're very conservative."
According to Ehman, the city only uses two or three gallons of glyphosate each year, and each spot where it's used is marked clearly with a sign. Over the past decade, his department has gone above and beyond state regulations, including implementing an integrated pest management policy that requires sprayers to be prudent in their use of pesticides.
"Every year we have managed to reduce our pesticides a little more," Ehman says. "We are kind of at the point where we have done about every creative thing we know." To eliminate chemical synthetic pesticides, Ehman says the costs could double or triple and the city would have to hire several new positions.
At the May 16 City Council meeting, landscape manager John Mann will present an annual pest management report. Cruickshank, who frequently speaks at meetings, urges concerned citizens to come hear this year's findings and speak out about the dangers of toxic chemicals.
"They're making progress, but it wouldn't take much to completely end the regular use of those pesticides," Cruickshank says. "I don't feel like the City Council has really made the commitment that they should."
Cruickshank adds, "They're tired of me. They need to hear from more people."

T. is a sweet 9 year old girl who is seen once a week for speech and language therapy at our clinic. She has been seen for the last three months after waiting for some time on the clinic waitlist. She is currently in the third grade at Discover 2 Charter School. T. enjoys computer games, science and music. She participates in a pre-public speaking class on Saturdays to help with her speech and language skills and confidence. She recently dressed up as Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty for Halloween. T. is a sharp and competitive game player and usually beats her clinician on a weekly basis during treatment sessions!
T.'s mother was referred to our clinic by San Jose State University. She was concerned about speech sounds that were unclear and other sounds that were omitted. Her mom felt that T. was losing confidence when speaking to adults because she often had to repeat herself.
T. has been working on her articulation, focusing on /r, l, th, er and r blends like br/ as well as age appropriate grammar skills. During her short time in treatment, she has made great progress. She went from being unable to produce the sound /th/ to producing it in words with nearly 80% accuracy. T.'s mother is very dedicated to continuing her treatment at home and it really speeds up development and progress.
Since treatment began, T.'s mother reports, "The one on one sessions have increased her confidence, improved pronunciation of certain sounds and made T. feel happier. In just 5 minutes per day of home practice, a big difference is noted." That home practice really does make a difference that her therapist sees as well. T.'s mother feels that the one on one service, noted gains in her speech sounds and helpful and well trained therapist are very rewarding.
Even after waiting nearly 3 years on the waitlist, T.'s mother reports, ". It is the best investment you can make for your child. I'm grateful and feel blessed to be getting awesome service. We are very happy and it was worth waiting for—the very excellent speech therapy that normally we wouldn't be able to afford, from a great staff who are well trained and kind."

Why so serious – Inject some fun into your running
Fun is a word associated with running not often enough.
Why? For starters, runners tend to be very serious about their training, about their times, about their race schedules, about what they eat, wear, and drink. We don't want to get injured and are constantly looking at improving. Where's the room for fun?
Plus, consider that running is hard work. Yes, it is a pursuit that can be enjoyed, and the thrill of success and achievement are not to be underrated. But fun? Nah.
Here's the problem. As runners, we need to lighten up. Surely there is some psychological benefit of letting go of a tedious routine occasionally. It might make you faster in the long run, avoid injury and approach workouts with a better attitude, and better yet, make you smile.
Here are some strategies to add some fun into your running.
Odd races: It's not about time all the time when you toe the line (honestly, when I wrote that I did not mean for it to sound like some rhyming maxim). Some races are designed to be for fun. Consider these examples:
- Undies run! Running in your underwear would likely be brave and fun. There are undies runs that raise money for charity including clothes for the homeless and those that raise money for medical causes. It's a good cause, kind of silly, and likely a bit chilly, but sounds like fun.
- Costume runs: I'd be willing to bet that running in a superhero cape will seriously slow you down. Remember Edna Mode's line from "The Incredibles"? "No capes!" Anyway, races where you dress up in costume, say your favorite superhero, are more about fun than finish times.
- Beer Mile: These races are gaining in popularity as some serious runners are taking up the challenge of running a mile with four beer stops along the way. Chugging four beers in what is likely under 10 minutes is by no means healthy and it is not something to pursue on any regular basis, bit would it be fun? If you like beer and running it sure sounds like it.
- Color runs: If getting power blasted with dyed food color during a run is your idea of fun – or maybe it's about adding some life to an old t-shirt – these rainbow-themed 5Ks might be a good choice.
- Food extremes: Well, if we are going to include the beer mile you may as well find a food-themed run which combines donuts or other food and then running (or waddling) the same distance back.
Run a race with a friend who is much slower than you. Be a partner to that runner and take yourself and your own goals out of the equation. It's fun and good karma.
Ditch the watch. Add in a run sometimes where you leave your tracking device behind and just run. Smile at the birds and the cars as they fly by – and ignore those weird looks from drivers.
Find a scenic route that breaks up your routine.
Beach runs, trail runs, park runs – all of these can add some fun to your running schedule if you can put your brain aside for a half hour and let your eyes and heart enjoy the view. When you are done, feel the smile coming and let it happen.

In today's competitive environment, business entrepreneurs are finding more ways to grow their business and make their way on top of the competition. Aside from establishing effective communication with consumers, one good way to efficiently expose your brand and attract customers is to use a business signage. Business signages like the signs Central Coast has today have been there for a long time but still have a positive effect on customers. If you are an entrepreneur and want to know the reasons why having a signage is good for your business, read on:
1. It increases brand exposure.
If you have a good business signage, then it is a good sign that people will get attracted to it. Once it catches their attention, they will start wondering what your business is about and will most likely visit your store. A business signage can help a lot when you are looking for new or repeating customers. Have you seen the business signs Central Coast has? Does it have an effect on you? Think about it. Click here The Sign Shop
2. It is cost-effective.
One advantage of having a business signage is that you get to advertise your company 24 hours a week. As long as it is ready and installed, you will no longer have problems with its maintenance, unless, of course, you want to change it. If you are looking for cheap signs Central Coast has, you might want to check The Sign Shop for more information.
3. It's a chance to deliver a message to your customers.
If you have new products available, you can easily let customers know by putting it in your signage. It is one way of delivering a message to your customers which is ideal and effective. The signs Central Coast has at the moment usually put messages directly to the customers to make sure they will avail of their product or services.
4. You are in control of the message.
Having a business signage puts you in control of what you want to display. The ones who put messages in Central Coast Signs are usually the owners of a particular business. They create smart ideas and put them into words to make sure they are able to get the customers. To ensure you get the right message, you may want to brainstorm and ask other people about your message. Does it have a good impact on your business? Are you able to create a message for your customers?
5. It increases revenue.
Have you ever wondered if the signs in Central Coast have ever increased the revenue of a business? As long as your business signage is attractive and unique among other signage, there is a good possibility that customers will stop by and try to check your business. You don't have to worry if they don't avail of your products or services, there will always be customers who will purchase your products, and to those who didn't bother to stop by? Your business will always be on their mind thanks to your signage.

Synopsis for "Surprise!!"
Kitty Pryde asks Professor X if she could borrow his limousine to take her friends to see a Dazzler concert with her friends. The Professor says she can borrow it on the condition that one of the X-Men drives her and her friends. Storm and Colossus say they do not have a license, and Angel says he can not take her once he sees the limo's modified hand controls.
Next, Kitty starts to asks Nightcrawler, but gives up and phases into the next room to meet Wolverine, who is writing a letter for Mariko Yashida. When Pryde starts to ask for Wolverine's help, he says no even before she can say what it is.
From files hacked from Professor X's computer encryptions, Kitty learns that Wolverine's birthday is drawing near. She e-mails Mariko and the X-Men throw Wolverine a surprise birthday party. That night at Tribeca, Kitty shows Wolverine and Mariko off at a Japanese restaurant. Sabretooth trips Kitty and helps her up, asking if she was just with Wolverine.
While "Ninja" prepare to serve Logan and Mariko food, Mariko steps out of their room to take a phone call. Wolverine smells Sabretooth in the next room and confronts him. Sabretooth taunts Wolverine, saying he has Kitty captive. Before running off, Sabretooth stuffs some wasabi into Wolverine's nostrils, making him effectively lose his enhanced sense of smell.
Wolverine searches for Sabretooth and first attacks a wooden ninja prop. Wolverine hears Sabretooth's voice and thinks he sees his outline, but it turns out to be another one of Sabretooth's dummies with a radio. On the radio, Sabretooth taunts Wolverine that he also has Mariko. Sabretooth surprises Wolverine by emerging from the floor boards. Kitty wakes up to find herself in a laundry bag. She easily phases out and learns that Wolverine is fighting with someone in the kitchen.
There, Sabretooth rips the oven out of the wall and throws it at Wolverine, creating a gas leak. Sabretooth pins Wolverine to the wall and gives him the choice between him killing Kitty or Mariko. Wolverine "chooses" Kitty, but Sabretooth finds she has escaped and is now holding a lighter to the gas leak. Kitty tells Wolverine to leave, and Sabretooth, thinking Kitty is bluffing, starts to attack the teenager. Kitty ignites the gas leak, making the kitchen explode, and safely phases out.
Wolverine tells Kitty the he would appreciate that she would not mention the Sabretooth attack to the other X-Men. Kitty asks what is in this deal for her, and Wolverine grudgingly agrees to drive her friends to the Dazzler concert.
Solicit Synopsis
Kitty Pryde has arranged for a very special birthday dinner for Wolverine.
But there's a reason Logan never tells anyone about his birthday.
And that reason's name is Sabretooth!

Dr. Carolyn Bortz appointed vice president
Dr. Carolyn Bortz has been appointed vice president for academic affairs at Northampton Community College (NCC). She moves into this position after serving the College as the dean of Allied Health and Sciences division since 2004. She will assume her new position in July.
Bortz earned a BSN in nursing from Bloomsburg University (1983), an MSN in nursing from DeSales University (1990) and an Ed.D. in higher education administration at Widener University (2014).
Her doctoral dissertation was Women Community College Presidents: Organizational Culture's Influence on Breaking the Glass Ceiling.
Before coming to NCC in 2000, Bortz was the executive director and home health services director of the Visiting Nurses, Northeast; on the nursing faculty at NCC and a staff nurse on the oncology/medical-surgical unit at Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network, where she also served as a clinical instructor, a clinical nurse facilitator and a staff nurse on the vascular surgical unit. She was a substitute school nurse for the Parkland School District.
She was selected in 2001 to participate in the National Institute for Leadership Development, an international program for administrators and faculty in higher education. She was instrumental in establishing a satellite site for the practical nursing program in Monroe County. In 2003, Bortz led the nursing department through a reaccreditation process/visit performed by representatives from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. Under Bortz's leadership, NCC formed a collaboration with St. Luke's Hospital and Health Network to establish a Surgical Technology program and to set up a collaborative dental clinic at the Fowler Family Southside Center. Bortz developed a variety of new allied health/science programs, including sports medicine: athletic training, public health, medical assistant, and licensed massage therapy.
She has received numerous awards, including the NCC Staff Excellence Award.
"Dr. Bortz emerged as the first choice [for vice president] not only because of her nineteen years of experience as faculty, program director and dean at NCC, but also because of her collaborative style, her passion for students and for learning," says Dr. Mark Erickson, president of NCC.

Harbor Refuge Seascape Art Painting
16″ x 20″, Acrylic on Canvas, 2013
by Charles C. Clear III
This Seascape Art Painting features the beautiful rocks and water at the Harbor Refuge, or Fishermen's Memorial State Park, in Narragansett, Rhode Island. I love the play of light upon the rocks; their shape, their form, their texture….the way the warm tones of the sun and the cool hues of the shade compliment each other; The green moss, the blue ocean, the white water – you can almost hear the clap of the breaking waves, the hiss of the settling foam, and the cry of the gulls.
The Harbor Refuge has been my inspiration for many seascape paintings, including 'Ocean Rocks', 'Rocky Shore', and 'Point Judith', just to name a few.
This original Seascape Art Painting of 'Harbor Refuge' is available for purchase. Inquire for pricing.
Fine art prints and poster art reproductions of Beavertail are available in a variety of sizes, and in a variety of media. Contact me for more information, and to discuss your specific needs.

A man haunted by memories of being abused as a child killed himself by taking a concoction of drugs.
When Carl Wilson of Holland Drive, Tilehurst couldn't cope with the recollections of his childhood he turned to drugs.
But an inquest heard how Mr Wilson, 20, would often shield his troubled past from friends and that he was known as a bubbly and cheerful character.
After the hearing, at Reading Civic Centre on Tuesday, family members told how Mr Wilson used to mimic comedians Lee Evans and Norman Wisdom.
Grandmother Doris Knott said: "He was very relaxed and happy when he came around and always had a brave face for his grandma."
But fiancée Sarah Day said the love-of-her-life often hid a darker side and she regularly worried whether he would commit suicide.
She said: "He was very happy on the surface, but underneath it all he was very unhappy. Sometimes he was very low and in need of help.
"He would talk about taking his own life, he said he was not scared to be dead, it was something he had to do for himself."
On Thursday, July 31, Mr Wilson had told Miss Day he was walking across Kings Meadow "to somewhere nobody would be able to find him".
He took the lethal drugs, including heroin, and a building site worker found his body under a shed at around 2am.
Anthony Brickley told the inquest he had made the grim discovery in the dark after crawling under the building to have a nap.
He explained: "I felt a hand, lit up my lighter and a saw a man lying face down. When I touched him he was cold."
Mr Brickley walked to Friar Street in the town centre and flagged down two police officers to tell them about the body.
Police found a rucksack with Mr Wilson's wallet inside and also uncovered three handwritten notes next to the body.
Coroner Peter Bedford decided Mr Wilson had taken his own life after struggling to cope with the memories of his childhood. Mr Wilson's
grandmother told the coroner her grandson had been "waking up with a nasty taste in his mouth" from when he was abused as a child.
Mr Bedford said: "He had demons within him, the demons that originated from his upbringing. Demons he could never rid himself of.
"He could at times disguise them, but they were always there."
Mr Bedford recorded the death as suicide and described the incident as "extraordinary", saying despite enormous support from his family Carl was intent on killing himself."
He added: "This was a man who knew what he wanted to do. He was very articulate, calm and rational."

Since when does setting your alarm for 6:45 am feel indulgent? I don't know, but there's something about that extra 45 minutes that feels a little like eating ice cream for dinner. Does this mean I have officially reached adulthood?
Speaking of ice cream for dinner, I decided to cut sugar. Well, I've technically been off sugar since I came back from Laos. Actually, that's not completely true either. What I mean by that is that I have been off of processed sugar. In Laos, there were very few options for anything processed. It was mostly all fruits and vegetables and rice. So, I didn't eat any processed food for my three weeks there. Then, when I came home, the garden was finally producing, so I just continued.
Side note: processed sugar is really addictive. I assume everyone already knows this. But, if anyone needs some suggestions of documentaries to watch or books to read on this point, I can definitely suggest some good ones!
Back to my story though. Last week, on our fishing trip to Canada, my grandma made snacks to send with us, so I broke my no processed sugars contract with myself, promising I would get back on track when I got home. Unfortunately, it's birthday week, which I forgot. So, now I'm stuck in a perpetual cycle of cake and ice cream events. I'm still trying to limit it, but who can pass up cake and ice cream for a birthday?
My mom's birthday is July 14 and mine is July 22. I am almost never home on my birthday, due to church camp. See No Laughing Matter for the 2015 festivities. But, this year, it just so happens that it falls in the weekend before we go to camp. So, I don't really know what to do with myself.
Anyway, today is my mom's birthday. The older I get, the more I realize that I am becoming more and more like her. (Which is mostly a good thing, love you, Mom!) Mostly I notice it in the conversations we have. We have a lot of the same patterns of speech, but more than that, we think in the same ways. We are both very detail oriented, so if anyone is telling us a story, we'll both ask a lot of questions. We also share the same sense of humor.
Which is why when Jake and I went to pick out her birthday cake, I knew it would be just right. If you know my mom, you know that she is very particular about certain things. This is where she and I part ways. I'm not picky at all. But, a few of the things she likes and will not compromise on: Coke (it cannot be Pepsi, it has to be Coca-Cola. Original. Not diet. Not caffeine free.) Ice (you cannot just have a cold drink, there has to be floating chips of frozen water in it) Whipped icing (buttercream won't do).
Her favorite is a store bought (trust me, I would do homemade but she likes store bought better) white birthday cake with whipped icing. Jake and I knew this. Because it's what she always got for us. So, we went in search of this cake. When we got to the store, they have a selection of cakes that you can choose from and then request writing on it. I assume that you can actually think ahead and call and order exactly what you want, but why would we plan to do that? Right. So, we were distressed to find that they didn't have any with whipped icing. It was all buttercream, except for one lonely chocolate cake with whipped icing. And, you guessed it, chocolate won't do.
The bakery lady (Dee, as indicated by her name tag) noticed our distress and asked if she could help us. Jake explained what we were looking for and she said they had one last white cake with whipped icing that someone had just come in to claim. But, they hadn't come back for it and she didn't think they were going to. She showed it to us and it proudly stated "Happy Birthday, Zack!"
Jake and I looked at each other. Then he said: we'll take it just like that. Dee laughed, like we were joking. I proceeded to explain that it was just for our mom, for a little family birthday party, and that it didn't really matter what it said, she just liked that kind of cake. Dee laughed again and said she couldn't do that, she'd feel bad sending a cake with the wrong name on it. Finally, Jake said, just put a red X through it and write Mom out to the side. Well, Dee just thought that was the funniest thing anyone had ever asked her to do. But, we talked her into it, assuring her that it would be funnier than if it had been done right in the first place.
She did what we asked and it was funny. So funny that she asked the other bakery girl to come take a picture of her handiwork. As we were walking away, with our prize birthday cake in hand, Dee said, thank you kids so much for that! I was having a bad day and I needed something to make me laugh and that just really made my day. And you tell your mom, Happy Birthday from all of us here at the grocery store.
So, Mom: Happy birthday from me and Jake! And also, from Dee and all the other unnamed people at the grocery store. Hope you have a good one!
(Also, Zack, if you happen to be reading this: happy birthday to you too, sorry for stealing your cake.)

text: Did Zug punk the entirety of the Super Bowl-watching population this year, an estimated 90 million people? Or is their chronicle of "the most ambitious prank in history" a prank in and of itself? We don't know the answer -- for the record, we're leaning towards hoax -- but Zug claims that with some social networking and 2,350 Prince-themed pendants (ordered from Chinese manufacturer Ok Fun Times Electronics Co.), they were able to get the audience to light up and spell out ZUG.COM during the halftime show, thinking they'd instead be spelling out PRINCE. Ok, makes sense, but you'd think everyone would have heard about this by now, right? Well, Zug claims the media's been trying to cover it up; they expect us to imagine how few would really want to admit that five unauthorized people could transport a quarter ton of boxes on pallets -- contents unknown -- into the most televised sporting event of the year. For the record, what was the cost on this supposed stunt? $40,000 in equipment and legal fees, as well as a 2nd mortgage on lead prankster John Hargrave's home.

Poultry and pigs react differently to hot climate conditions than human beings. This is due to the fact that they cannot sweat. The consequence under a too hot climate condition is that they will start panting, reducing their feed intake and thereby their growth rate, and show abnormal behaviour, and risk dying due to heat stress.
To reduce the above problems, artificial cooling of the animals is necessary. This is usually done by evaporative cooling of the air and/or increasing air speed at animal level. Increasing air speed at animal level is usually done by means of a tunnel ventilation system. This means that the house is used as a "tube" where inlets are placed at one end and exhaust fans at the other end. The relationship between "tube air speed" and cooling effect is experience-based and without any feedback loop. This leads to a poor climate quality with the temperature experienced as either too cold or too.
Therefore, the idea of the project is to estimate the needed cooling effect by using a heat balance for the animals and applying it as a control base. This will include development of a new climate controller that uses temperature, humidity and air speed as control parameters. Furthermore, to create a high air speed at the animal zone, new mechanical ventilation components and algorithms need to be developed.
The hypothesis is that an integrated thermal index can be established to measure animals' experienced temperature by monitoring their body heat loss conditions, and that an integrated sensor (physically or virtually) can be developed and used for Hot Climate Ventilation (HCV) design and control.
An optimal production requires an optimal indoor climate. How the interaction between air temperature, air speed, humidity and surface temperature affects a small yellow chicken of 45 grams comparing to a white full grown chicken in 2kg, we simply do not know enough about that today.
When the solution subsequently integrated into the climate control systems, we will be able to create the optimum environment for the millions of animals around the world in the future, which is undoubtedly growing in too hot environment.
The main research activities includes: development of advanced control algorithms based on hot climate heat balance of the animals; development and design of new hot climate ventilation components; smart ventilation system configurations and development of an analytic tools to model indoor climate in hot climate areas.

I've recently added a Moonman M1 in brass and Tiger wood to my collection and am glad I did. The pen was was about $12 on Taobao.
The pen is relatively long and slim. The section doesn't taper much at all. The cap takes about 3 turns to remove. The cap could post, I suppose, but the threads would likely tear up the wood and severely mess up the balance.
Moonman M1 Dimensions
13.5cm / 13cm capped / uncapped
26.2g / 16.7g capped / uncapped
8mm section diameter
12mm barrel diameter
It uses the same screw-in nib unit the Delike Alpha and New Moon 2 so if you have any of those pens, you can easily swap nib units.
Like posting, eye-droppering this pen has got to be out of bounds. I don't plan to find out.
The fude/art nib turns up only very slightly. It creates a sweetspot so that when the pen is at the correct angle the pen writes with a remarkably broad, wet line. The nib in my pen was smooth out of the box.
The writing experience with the pen is excellent. The balance is toward the front making the pen feel lighter than it is.
I'd definitely recommend the Moonman M1 for folks into fountain pens. Probably not as a first fountain pen, however.
Two thumbs up for the fude/art nib!

You care about yourself, your peers, your environment and your future. You want to take charge, help others and make a difference in the process. This is what makes you unique. So how do you start planning for your future 20 – 30 years from now?
It's okay to start small. The important thing is to start. Enroll in your retirement plan, and max out any matching funds your employer offers. Contributing just a few dollars per paycheck now can add up to big money by the time you retire. The earlier you start, the less you'll need to contribute over the long run, thanks to the power of compounding.
Any money you put aside today has decades to benefit from compounding, or the ability to grow at an increasing rate over time. With compounding, the returns you earn on your money are reinvested, so the "pot" of money earning investment returns for you grows larger every year—and your returns grow, too. A few years from now, you'll be amazed at how your balance has grown.
You may not think you can stretch your paycheck to incorporate savings, but until you make a budget, you won't know for sure. It may be worth the extra effort to save on big-ticket items—like commuting longer to save on rent—to free up cash for emergencies, small luxuries, and savings.
A recent study found that three-quarters of millennials let their friends' financial habits determine their own, and two-thirds said they were stretching to keep up.1 If you're making less than friends are, don't assume you can go out with them often. You might even try mixing up the people you spend time with—you probably already have a few friends who are thrifty and fun.
Saving for tomorrow may be the last thing on your mind, but starting early lets you capitalize on your biggest advantage time.

Flavita BANANA
Oviedo, 1987
Flavia Álvarez-Pedrosa stands behind the hyperactive cartoonist known as Flavita Banana. After paying her dues, studying Art and Illustration at Barcelona's Escola Massana, followed by the obligatory waitressing gigs and having done her utmost to fool herself, she decided to start drawing what she truly wanted to draw and threw herself into the task. Her work has been described as Sad Humour: a combination of cynicism and self-deprecation focussing on romantic relationships, the addiction to social media and the absurdity of existence.
She publishes daily on social media without rhyme or reason, weekly in El País' fashion supplement S Moda and monthly in the magazine JotDown. Having contributed the illustrations for the non-fiction work Curvy (Lumen, 2016), and publishing her first book as an author, Las cosas del querer (Lumen, 2017), her latest published work is Archivos estelares (Astiberri, 2017).
*Winner of the International Humor Prize Gat Perich 2018. Previous winners include Marjane Satrapi, Georges Wolinski or Plantu.
"Flavia Álvarez uses humour to laugh in the face of well-worn clichés and injustice. Her Instagram account (which has now gathered over 140,000 followers) is chock-full of witty strips. What's the secret? You'd be hard pressed not to identify with many of them." Sandra Arbat, La Vanguardia
"I'm not sure if Flavita is of English origin or if borders mean nothing to her, whether or not Poe is an idol of hers or if she fell into a cauldron of disenchantment as a baby, but what I do know is that she is able to pack a sarcasm, black wit and irony of the most tragic and Northern variety, targeting the Spanish (or rather human) species, into a seemingly easy, effortless drawing style." Mar Busquets – Mateix, Todo Literatura
"She thinks carefully before settling on dialogue that packs a punch (or draws a miraculous smile), then illustrates it in a lively, no-holds barred style." Time Out Barcelona

Guest blogger Pastor Gabriel Stovall is the Pastor of New Life Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a journalist and a friend of Breakthrough Ministries.
I remember listening to a football coach give instruction to his young running back about how to get more yards whenever he touched the ball. He said, "Son, when you hit that line…that first level of resistance, you have to keep your legs moving. Keep churning your legs. A good running back always keeps his legs moving."
The coach called this PRESSING the line. The idea behind it was that the relentless persistence of the runner over time would wear down the opposition, and the plays that only went for 3 or 4 yards in the first quarter of a football game will break for 10, 15 or 20 yards…perhaps even long touchdown runs…In the 4th quarter.
Apostle Paul wasn't a football player, but he too understood what it meant to PRESS. In Philippines 3:14 when he wrote, "I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christian Jesus, " He used the Greek word: "dioko," which literally means: "To follow, press hard, pursue with earnestness and diligence with a desire to obtain."
In other words, Paul was saying, "I'm going to keep my legs moving." I'm not going to stop just because resistance comes. In fact, when resistance comes, I'm going to press even harder to get through that line.
Paul knew what the football coach understood: The best way to discourage the opposition is to show the opposition that you are NOT discouraged. Pretty soon your small victories over sin will become big ones. One day of overcoming insecurity will become a week. One month of overcoming addiction will become a year, until what once had you bound, you'll find yourself running away from it, completely free!
The reward of PRESSING is the eventual realization that you can't be bottled up, contained or held back forever. Eventually you're going to find your way to the "endzone."
Whatever obstacle you're facing, my challenge to you today is simple: Keep walking. Keep running. Keep crawling. Keep limping. Keep going. Keep your legs moving. Keep PRESSING! And watch what God will do!–Pastor Gabriel Stovall.

Part of the Studies in Computational Intelligence book series (SCI, volume 28)
The area intersecting supply chains management with multiagent systems has attracted in the last decade books, workshops, conferences, etc. Recently however, multiagent systems have became more formal borrowing from operations research, game theory and other facets from distributed decision making. The authors takes a close look at what has been done recently in the field of supply chain management using agent technology and more specifically multiagent systems. The book contains sixteen chapters organized in four main parts; Introductory Papers; Multiagent Based Supply Chain Modeling, Collaboration and Coordination Between Agents in a Supply Chain and Multiagent Based Supply Chain Management: Applications. This book is intended as reference material for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners alike who are interested in pursuing research and development in this area, and who need for that, a comprehensive view of the existing literature, and some ideas for future directions.

Let's just say right now what voters will be saying in November, once Barack Obama has been re-elected: Republicans deserve to lose.
It doesn't matter that Obama can't get the economy out of second gear. It doesn't matter that he cynically betrayed his core promise as a candidate to be a unifying president. It doesn't matter that he keeps blaming Bush. It doesn't matter that he thinks ATMs are weapons of employment destruction. It doesn't matter that Tim Geithner remains secretary of Treasury.
It doesn't matter that the result of his "reset" with Russia is Moscow selling fighter jets to Damascus. It doesn't matter that the Obama name is synonymous with the most unpopular law in memory. It doesn't matter that his wife thinks America doesn't deserve him. It doesn't matter that the Evel Knievel theory of fiscal stimulus isn't going to make it over the Snake River Canyon of debt.
Above all, it doesn't matter that Americans are generally eager to send Obama packing. All they need is to be reasonably sure that the alternative won't be another fiasco. But they can't be reasonably sure, so it's going to be four more years of the disappointment you already know.
As for the current GOP field, it's like confronting a terminal diagnosis. There may be an apparent range of treatments: conventional (Romney), experimental (Gingrich), homeopathic (Paul) or prayerful (Santorum). But none will avail you in the end. Just try to exit laughing.
That's my theory for why South Carolina gave Newt Gingrich his big primary win on Saturday: Voters instinctively prefer the idea of an entertaining Newt-Obama contest - the aspiring Caesar versus the failed Redeemer - over a dreary Mitt-Obama one. The problem is that voters also know that Gaius Gingrich is liable to deliver his prime-time speeches in purple toga while holding tight to darling Messalina's - sorry, Callista's - bejeweled fingers. A primary ballot for Gingrich is a vote for an entertaining election, not a Republican in the White House.
Then there is Mitt Romney, even now the presumptive nominee. If Gingrich demonstrated his unfitness to be a serious Republican nominee with his destructive attacks on private equity (a prime legacy of the Reagan years), Romney has demonstrated his unfitness by - where to start?
Oh, yes, the moment in last week's debate when Romney equivocated about releasing his tax returns. The former Massachusetts governor is nothing if not a scripted politician, and the least one can ask of such people is that they should know their lines by heart. Did nobody in Romney's expensive campaign shop tell him that this question was sure to come, and that a decision had to be made, in advance, as to what the answer would be? Great CEOs don't just surround themselves with consultants and advance men. They also hire contrarians, alter egos and at least someone who isn't afraid to poke a finger in their chest. On the evidence of his campaign, Romney is a lousy CEO.
But it's worse than that. The usual rap on Romney is that he's robotic, but the real reason he can't gain traction with voters is that they suspect he's concealing some unnameable private doubt. Al Gore and George Bush Sr. were like that, too, and not just because they were all to the proverbial manor born. It's that they were basically hollow men.
Thus the core difference between Romney and Obama: For the governor, the convictions are the veneer. For the president, the pragmatism is. Voters always see through this. They usually prefer the man who stands for something.
What about Rick Santorum and Ron Paul? They are owed some respect, especially for the contrast between their willingness to take a stand for principle against the front-runners' willingness to say anything. But Santorum and Paul are two tedious men, deep in conversation with some country that's not quite America, appealing to a devoted base but not beyond it. Sorry, gentlemen: You're not going anywhere.
Finally, there are the men not in the field: Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Haley Barbour. This was the GOP A-Team, the guys who should have showed up to the first debate but didn't because running for president is hard and the spouses were reluctant. Nothing commends them for it. If this election is as important as they all say it is, they had a duty to step up. Abraham Lincoln did not shy from the contest of 1860 because of Mary Todd. If Obama wins in November - or, rather, when he does - the failure will lie as heavily on their shoulders as it will with the nominee.
What should readers who despair of a second Obama term make of all this? Hope ObamaCare is repealed by the high court, the Iranian bomb is repealed by the Israeli air force, and the Senate switches hands, giving America a healthy spell of Hippocratic government.
All perfectly plausible. And the U.S. will surely survive four more years. Who knows? By then maybe Republicans will have figured out that if they don't want to lose, they shouldn't run with losers.
