The Great Solar Storm
Of 1859 Revealed
Robert Roy Britt
A pair of strong solar storms that hit Earth late last week were squalls compared to the torrent of electrons that rained down in the "perfect space storm" of 1859. And sooner or later, experts warn, the Sun will again conspire again send earthlings a truly destructive bout of space weather.
If it happens anytime soon, we won't know exactly what to expect until it's over, and by then some modern communication systems could be like beachfront houses after a hurricane.
In early September in 1859, telegraph wires suddenly shorted out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires. Colorful aurora, normally visible only in polar regions, were seen as far south as Rome and Hawaii.
The event 144 years ago was three times more powerful than the strongest space storm in modern memory, one that cut power to an entire Canadian province in 1989. A new account of the 1859 event, from research led by Bruce Tsurutani of NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, details the most powerful onslaught of solar energy in recorded history.
Solar Conspiracy
Space storms are created when the Sun erupts, sending charged particles racing outward, an expanding bubble of hot gas called plasma.
In 1859, four crucial events conspired at one moment, Tsurutani told SPACE.com.
"The plasma blob that was ejected from the Sun hit the Earth," he said. That's a relatively routine event. What preceded the strike was more unusual. "The blob came at exceptionally high speeds. It took only 17 hours and 40 minutes to go from the Sun to Earth." Solar storms typically take two to four days to traverse the 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
"The magnetic fields in the blob, called a coronal mass ejection, were exceptionally intense," Tsurutani said. "And the fourth, most important, ingredient was that the magnetic fields of the blob were opposite in direction from the Earth's fields."
Earth's magnetic field normally protects the surface of the planet from a continual flow of charged particles, called the solar wind, and even does a pretty good job defending against some storms. When a storm swept past Earth last Friday, it met up with magnetic field pointed in such a way that it thwarted the storm's effects. That's not always the case.
In 1859, the planet's defenses were overwhelmed.
That Was Then
Society back then did not notice the storm the way it would today. The telegraph was 15 years old. There were no satellite TV feeds, no automated teller machines relying on orbiting relay stations, and no power grids.
Tsurutani said scientists can't yet accurately measure or predict what the strength or direction of Earth's magnetic field will be when a storm arrives. The storms themselves can be predicted. And Tsurutani says there will eventually be another one like 1859.
"It could very well be even more intense than what transpired in 1859," he says. "As for when, we simply do not know."
Bernhard Fleck, the European Space Agency's project scientist for the Sun-watching SOHO spacecraft, says the next super space storm will be detectable, but that's only half the story.
"A monster event of the magnitude described [by Tsurutani] we would easily recognize as something extraordinary with SOHO and other solar instruments," Fleck said in an e-mail interview. But, he added, "We certainly wouldn't know its full extent until arrival."
During the 1859 flare-up, solar observers logged almost an entire minute during which the amount of sunlight doubled at the region of the flare.
"Such a strong white-light flare has never been seen since," says Paal Brekke, SOHO deputy project scientist. "So if this type of flare happened, yes we would know right away." But he adds that the orientation of Earth's magnetic field would not be known. Future space-based observatories could address this blind spot in space weather forecasting.
Meanwhile, the blind spot became clear on Friday.
Forecasters at NOAA's Space Environment Center, relying on SOHO pictures and data, warned of an impending set of storms that could disrupt communications and might set off colorful aurora Friday and Saturday. The forecast, along with two Jupiter-sized sunspots at the roots of the storms, gained widespread media attention.
But the first and larger of the storms passed by with far less effect than one might have been led to expect. In fact, they were both comparative drops in the space weather bucket.
Extreme Measures
To get an idea of the strength of the 1859 storm, you have to wade into nT's for a moment.
A space storm's impact is measured in nano-Teslas (nT), Brekke explained. The lower the figure, the more powerful the storm. A moderate storm can be around -100 nT; extreme and damaging storms have been logged at around -300 nT.
The 1989 coronal mass ejection that knocked out power to all of Quebec, Canada measured -589 nT, Brekke said. The 1859 perfect storm was estimated to have been -1,760 nT. Brekke used three exclamation points in his e-mail delivering that number.
People on the ground are generally safe even in the worst space weather. But technology could be in trouble when the next super storm hits.
"In 1859, the technology was quite low in comparison to today's technology," Tsurutani said. "However the technology that we rely on today is much more vulnerable."
A strong storm does its damage in part by inducing currents on power and communication lines, leading to potential overloads. Obviously, there are a lot more wires on Earth today, "so one might expect much worse problems if it occurred today."
The charged particles can also zap satellites, as has occurred with handful of storms in recent years -- events with far fewer charged particles than in 1859. A space storm also heats the upper level of Earth's atmosphere, causing it to expand. That's no good for satellites that can get caught up in air that didn't used to be there.
"This can lead to enhanced satellite drag and possible loss of these to the atmosphere," Tsurutani said.
Tsurutani and his colleagues -- Walter Gonzalez of the Brazilian National Space Institute and Gurbax Lakhina and Sobhana Alex of the India Institute of Geomagnetism -- reviewed known observations of the 1859 event's solar and aurora output, plus accounts from the ground. They also used recently rediscovered historic data on Earth's magnetic field from the Colaba Observatory in India.
The findings were published in a recent issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research.

personal information
I was born in Minden, Nebraska the home of Pioneer Village and also called the Christmas City. During the Christmas season the courthouse is decorated with 100,000's of lights and a pageant is put on Sundays. Graduated from MHS in 1982 and started my academic future. I have worked in the automotive industry, all phases, in a new car dealership. Had a major life decision and decided to get my teaching certificate and do what I've always wanted to do, teach! This summer (2018) I packed up my belongings and moved from Kearney to Mullen to become the High School Math Instructor.
educational information
I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Physics, Cum Laude, from the University of Nebraska- Kearney. I then studied at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina in Nuclear Engineering. Currently I'm working towards my teaching endorsement and Masters in Teaching. I will also be working towards a Masters in Mathematics after that.
teaching philosophy
I would say that my main idea on teaching a subject like math is to keep the students engaged in the class and not staring at nothing. I will delay modules until I feel that they are ready to move on to the next section, because math concepts are stepping stones towards the next concept.

December 7, 1941, began like any other Sunday at Pearl Harbour, the US's most important Pacific base. Sailors and airmen slowly roused themselves from sleep as the might of the US fleet sat at anchor across the waterfront.
No one had an inkling of the devastating Japanese attack that would commence at 7:48 a.m. and leave 2,402 Americans dead.
"The Japanese bombs did tremendous damage to the immediate strength of America's Pacific airpower, as well as her Pacific sea power, which was based upon Pearl Harbour," a British Movietone narrator says over footage taken just hours after the onslaught, which you can see below.
In addition to leaving thousands dead, the attack destroyed aircraft and airfields and sank four battleships, among them the USS Arizona, where a bomb struck an ammunition magazine at the front of the ship, sending it up in a mighty conflagration that burned for days.
At the same time Pearl Harbour was struck, Japan attacked the Philippines as well as Wake and Guam, two US islands in the Pacific.
"Yet even on the day of disaster, American sea power began the process of recovery," the Movietone narrator continues. "An undamaged cruiser, putting to sea, steams past the burning Arizona – a symbol of America's resolve to take complete revenge."
The following day, the US declared war on Japan, and three days later Germany and Italy declared war on the US.
In April 1942, the US mounted the Doolittle raid, striking Tokyo with 16 B-25 bombers in a daring operation that boosted Allied morale.
Two months later, the war in the Pacific took a decisive turn when the US repelled the Japanese at Midway, a US base in the middle of the Pacific.
US carrier-based planes sent four Japanese carriers to the bottom of the sea, while the US lost just one carrier.

Lucas St. Clair, who led the successful campaign to have more than 87,000 acres declared a national monument in northern Maine, will speak at the Unity College Center for the Performing Arts on the intense effort and the way forward.
The event — part of the annual Maine Woods Forever roundtable at Unity College — will feature St. Clair speaking at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 16 at the Unity College Center for the Performing Arts, 42 Depot St., Unity. The event — a partnership between Unity College and Maine Woods Forever — is free and open to the public and the media.
"Unity College, America's Environmental College, continues to help convene conversations that matter deeply to the people of Maine," Unity College President Dr. Melik Peter Khoury said. "With academic programs ranging from Wildlife Biology to Adventure Therapy and Parks and Forest Resources, Unity students and faculty are in the perfect position to help evaluate the economic, environmental, and social impact of a major initiative like the North Woods monument."
After a multi-year campaign that balanced values of conservation and industry in an area riven by the collapse of the paper industry, President Obama announced Wednesday he has signed an executive order creating the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, a day after philanthropist landowner Roxanne Quimby transferred 87,563 acres of her property in Maine to the federal government.
According to the Bangor Daily News, the order states that the Department of the Interior will manage the property through the National Park Service, in line with Quimby's stated requirements. It allows "hunting by the public on the parcels east of the East Branch of the Penobscot River" plus snowmobiling, and orders that a management plan be created with full public involvement in three years.
The declaration is the culmination of about four years of leadership by St. Clair, who took on "a seven-days-per-week workload featuring hundreds of meetings and thousands of phone calls and emails," according to the Bangor Daily News.
"It has been an all-consuming process," he told the paper. "The biggest benefit is a decision has been made. We are no longer debating about whether it will happen. We can work together in a very different capacity now because we know what we are working on. That attitude is so exciting to me. Now we can talk about how we can make sure that" all the monument's neighbors benefit from it."
The executive order praises the Quimby lands as being rich in culture, natural beauty and "significant biodiversity."
"At Unity College, Maine is our classroom, and I'm looking forward to talking with Mr. St. Clair about the educational opportunities that could accompany formation of the national monument," Khoury said. "This is truly a significant development for anyone who loves Maine, appreciates our natural resources, and understands their importance to Maine's economic and social health."
"As an educator, I'm excited to hear more about the process that led to this historic decision," Unity College Professor of Parks and Forest Resources Tom Mullin said. "Our students will benefit greatly hearing from Lucas about how a major national monument came to be, and how it will be implemented going forward."

text: foft #1 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) After another year of working on this project where did we get to? In short not as far as I hoped, though there is slow and steady progress! For the 2nd run of 10 prototype boards the progress can be summarized as: PBI implemented, active only when CPU turbo off. Svideo/composite reimplemented using a method closer to GTIA rather than conversion from RGB. High resolution (2x and 4x colour clock) modes working, though several alignment and PMG issues remain. Experiments at switching to a new CPU (VexRiscV) for running the firmware, I made a good start but still a lot to do before I can switch this! OS in block RAM (as ROM) which means turbo is no longer limited to SDRAM access time. Steve (917k) made a really cool case and added basic US keyboard support. Of these I'm most pleased with finally having PBI. Having the faster colour clocks running is also pretty exciting, though would be more interesting with some software. Much testing was also carried out and bugs captured. I need to find time to work through these. Panos and I are considering a 3rd run of prototype boards. These will be very close to the run from last year with only these changes: Remove video DAC and audio ADC power supplies, these did not work anyway so needed a patch wire. Verify footprint of main board IO area vs standard, the power supply was outside the IO area by some mm. Adjust paddle voltage level potential divider, if the power supply is <5V (many USB chargers are) the paddles did not work. This allows the level to be adjusted. Fix black 'éclaireXL' (cosmetic) Widen cutout next to pbi from 3.7 to 4.75mm (or more), some devices could not be connected easily. Change REF_N pull up from 4k7 to about 2k. Improves PBI stability. Header to connect SIO LED to case. Power on switch invert up/down on/off to match 800XL! Attempt to reduce cross talk on audio ADC So nothing major. Additionally a few parts are now obselete so we've updated these. The video DAC CDK3405 has been replaced with an ADV7125 and I'm currently trying to find a compatible for for the 128Mbit EPCS configuration flash. Is anyone interested in buying a board and helping out? They were ~240USD + shipping last time, though I haven't priced it up yet to see if anything changed! I'm ideally looking for help with (one of!) these tasks: Write an OS patch to support 2x and 4x modes (via E:/S: ideally). Debug software and explain why it isn't working. For example Wizard of Wor behaves strangely but it needs someone to dig into the 6502 code to understand what is going on. Improve the firmware (OSD, config, USB support, drive emulation etc). This is written in C. Help porting the firmware to the new CPU when I get the hardware working. Help deciding on new hardware registers. Someone who will be interested in the project, chat/discuss aspects of it and generally chivvy me to work on it! Someone to write a demo using the high-res modes and turbo! Any VHDL help. Misc testing Some videos of the boards in action: https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=QgIIAQ%253D%253D&search_query=modern+atari+8bit+computer+eclaire Edited January 25, 2018 by foft 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even more, you dread paying $100 just to have your mechanic take a look at your vehicle to tell you that nothing is wrong with it when you see the "service engine soon". But that's what you get for being a responsible auto-owner. Or is it?
There is an alternative to those annoying "take a peek at it" vehicle labor expenses. And it costs nothing. The service engine light comes on in your vehicle because the computer has diagnosed that something isn't quite right. When the light comes on, a code is stored as the reason for triggering the light. When you take your car in to get it checked out, the mechanic hooks up a little diagnostic computer to your vehicle's computer. They will then get a code and description that tells them what the issue is.
OBD-II: A Background on Auto Diagnostic Codes
Every vehicle recently sold in the United States has an onboard diagnostic system that self-diagnoses a variety of vehicle issues through the vehicle's diagnostic computer. The connector to this diagnostic system is called OBD-II (on-board diagnostic, version 2) and it is standardized for every vehicle sold in the US, 1996 and newer. When your on-board computer detects a problem, it outputs a code through the output, and the code can be read by an OBD-II code scanner, or reader.
OBD-II codes, or PID's can help diagnose powertrain, emission, and other vehicle issues when diagnostic readings are out of accepted ranges. You can find a list of OBD-II PID's here.
Check Engine Light: The Mechanic's Dirty Little Secret
What your mechanic probably won't tell you is that you really didn't need to shell out $100 just for them to hook up an OBD-II scanner to check on the service engine light. You can get that for free at most auto-parts stores. I've had this done at NAPA and Advance Auto Parts. It costs nothing. The auto part stores carry these to cater to DIYers in hopes that they, in turn, buy the auto parts at their store to make the fix on their own. It takes them 1 minute to do this.
I was relieved to find out that the cause for the light to go on in my car was a possible vapor leak coming from my gas cap, caused by a weak spring in the cap. The gas cap costs $10. The store can also reset the computer so that if the problem persists, the light will come on again. If it doesn't, problem fixed.
There probably are some honest mechanics out there who won't charge you for this. But good luck finding one (perhaps, asking if they offer a free check engine light scan and their response is a good measuring stick for an honest mechanic).
Get your Own OBD-II Scanner
If you want to take things yet a step further and not go to the auto parts store every time, you can purchase your own OBD-II scanner. Here's the top selling universal OBD-II scanner on Amazon. And there's a bluetooth-enabled OBD-II scanner for just $22. That's one-fifth what mechanics will charge for JUST ONE CHECK! Both of these scanners will give you a description/meaning, along with the actual code number. Very easy.
Oh – another thing – replace your car's air filter on your own – it's easy, and will save you a lot of money versus having a mechanic do it.

In one of Africa's largest ports, in Cape Town, South Africa, many boats come for fuel and repairs.
Many of the fishermen on these boats are from Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, and they are victims of abuse and forced labour.
Dane Duplessis, chaplain with the charity Biblia, a South African Christian non-governmental organisation, found six Filipinos, including Alex (surname withheld), a 32-year old Filipino who told him about their plight.

18th June, 1910 We marched from the Embankment to the Albert Hall. It was a glorious day. The sun shone warmly. Everyone was in good spirits. There were aristocrats, artists, even my mother looked happy. She who has been so opposed to my work with the WSPU. More than 10,000 people had rallied and there were dozens of bands playing. It was quite incredible. We waved banners, carried flowers, sang along with the tunes. Hundreds who have been imprisoned for our Cause marched together in a powerful band. It was all very rousing of spirit. I felt proud to be a woman, proud to be alive, proud to be a part of a movement that is fighting to make a difference.

The Olé Restaurant Group announced Thursday that El Taco Luchador will open a third location in the Stonybrook Village Center at 9204 Taylorsville Rd. sometime in the spring of 2018.
Founded by Chef Martinez, the Olé Restaurant Group is an independently-operated group of severn restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky: Artesano Vino Tapas Y Mas, Guaca Mole Cocina Mexicana, Mussel & Burger Bar Jeffersontown, Mussel and Burger Bar Downtown, El Taco Luchador Highlands, El Taco Luchador St. Matthews, and Red Barn Kitchen.
"Our [Luchador] customers love the counter service, but what makes our food stand out is it's fresh and cooked-to-order," said Chef Fernando Martinez in an email. "With this next location we're really looking to highlight that with an open kitchen. We will also hopefully have at least 40 outdoor seats on the patio, so it's the type of place for friends to gather over sangrias, margaritas, or a few cervezas."
The group opened the first Luchador in 2013 at 938 Baxter Avenue and followed up in July of 2017 with the second location in St. Matthews at 112 Meridian Avenue. The restaurants are known for their brightly painted walls adorned with colorful signature masks of "Luchadores," the famed wrestler-entertainers of Mexico. The third location will likely be around 2500 sq. ft.
"J-town has been so good to us," Martinez continued. "The original Mussel & Burger Bar is a stone's throw away, and our customers always ask us when we are going to open a second restaurant in J-town."
The press release also says that the group plans to continue to press the pace with a possible Luchador location downtown and perhaps more opening in 2018.

We've covered the importance of Windows 8, the Windows 8 Store and Windows 8 apps before on Ultrabooknews. [Video and article here] and we'll be bringing you more on software development, apps and opportunities in the future because we believe it's one of the most important opportunities there is for developers right now. It's also something we want to promote because for every Ultrabook and touch-enabled app that is launched, the Ultrabook product gets a little bit better. In an article over at the Intel Developer Zone you'll find a great overview of the considerations you need to give when designing a touch-enabled application.
For example, when enhancing your application for touch, start by thinking about the three levels of touch you might want to build into the app. Is your application simply going to be 1) a 'touchable' app that has a slightly modified UI to help with touch or is the app a 2) 'touch enabled' application that can be driven easily with touch by using larger hit areas and gestures. Or is the app going to be a 3) 'touch optimized' app where the design, layout and gesture support has been designed from the ground up to make the app a touch-first experience.
If you're looking at a top-level touch experience you'll need to consider large hit areas, spacing, full gesture support along with momentum and inertia. Controls will also need to be placed in 'hot' areas of the screen.
A Windows 8 application targeted at a touchscreen should always be usable with touch only.
Read the article for some good design principles that will help in mapping out the application touch features. Make the experience intuitive, engaging and consistent. When we talk about consistency it also means making sure gestures follow expectations. Microsoft have published a list of gestures that form a 'Windows 8 Touch Language' and the more we implement those, the easier it becomes for users. Swipe-to-select is one of the important ones that needs attention right now.
Remember though, touch isn't the panacea. In some cases keyboard or on-screen-keyboard is better so keep the limitations in mind and don't stretch applications to touch where touch isn't desirable. Here's an example of a limitation: When you've got your finger over a button, you can't see the button so don't try and do anything with the button that the user might need to see. The article goes over a wider set of these limitations.
Again, remember the size of a finger. It ranges from 8mm to 18mm with 11-15mm being the average so as a guideline hit areas need to be a minimum of 6mm square with enough spacing between them to reduce errors.
When designing for Windows 8 don't forget the special properties of the Windows 8 user interface. Charms from the right swipe. Application controls with a swipe from the bottom. There's also portrait, docked and pinned mode to consider.
We're just skimming the surface of developing applications with touch on Ultrabooks. Read the article and with that in mind you'll add a lot of value to your Windows 8 app and enable new usage scenarios and potentially reap some of the rewards waiting for developers in the Windows 8 Touchscreen arena. For more detailed information about touch considerations for Windows 8 developers and a great [Really worth reading – Chippy] reading list, see this article from Intel.

AS part of the build up to the Giro d'Italia, The Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) is encouraging everyone to indulge in some old fashioned nostalgia and delve into their memory boxes for a special childhood moment – when you first learned to ride a bike.
World famous bike race, the Giro d'Italia, is just around the corner, and as Northern Ireland prepares to go bike crazy, NITB is asking people to share their bicycle themed childhood family snaps on twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #cyclingmemories.
"As a child, learning to ride a bike is a landmark moment for most of us and a memory that stays with us all of our adult lives," said Ruth Burns, Destination PR Unit Manager at NITB.
"To celebrate the arrival of the world's second largest bike race we would like to hear about the fond memories people have of learning to ride, who taught them, when the stabilisers came off, people's first wheelie or hands-free ride, what their first bike was and where in Northern Ireland they took their first lessons.
"People can share their pictures using the designated hashtag and share them with everyone."
Irish cycling legend, Stephen Roche, former winner of the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, said: "I loved the freedom riding a bike gave me as a young man to get out and about with my mates and I made the most of it by taking long rides around Dublin and into the mountains.
"I had no idea that my boyhood love of cycling would take me on the wonderful journey I have been on as an adult. I would encourage everyone to get a bike and get out into the great outdoors – Northern Ireland has excellent bike tracks and stunning countryside and there is no better way to enjoy it than on a bike."
Well known NI personalities are helping to kick-start the fun initiative by sharing their own photos and memories with NITB.
U105's Maurice Jay, explains why learning to ride a bike is such an important memory for him.
"I doubt very much I have been on a bike since I was a kid," he explains "but I clearly remember my Tomahawk bike and the follow up Grifter bike. Back in the day, before games consoles of any description, kids did things like "play outside", and your bike was very much central to that. Two bike related achievements stick in my mind, riding down the Church Road hill from Craigantlet into Holywood at around 60mph, and building Evil Knievel ramps with old door, I believe the estate record was 24 tyres laid in a row!"
Cool FM DJ Pete Snodden, said: "This was my first bike. I was four years old and had no choice in what I wore so forgive me for the dodgy sandals. It was a Raleigh and it had stabilisers but it didn't take me long to get those bad boys off and get pedalling on my own. My first bike brings back loads of memories including my Dad taking me to the new BMX track in Bangor on its opening day and me being unable to pedal my way over the first hump."
Broadcaster Pamela Ballantine said: "This is me aged about 3 years, I think, on what was my pride and joy at that age, my tricycle. The shot was taken in our back garden in Maryville Park, Belfast and you can just about make out the bread bin storage bit on the back of the tricycle. Apparently this is where I used to hide my sweeties – I was such a giving little girl!"
"I still love cycling today and am thrilled that the Giro d'Italia is coming to Northern Ireland. The world's best riders will get to see, in my opinion, some of the world's most stunning scenery during the competition as they make their way through Northern Ireland. Good luck to them all."
To share a photo of a childhood cycling moment people can post their photos on twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #cyclingmemories, along with their name and special childhood memory of riding a bike or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Katy grew up as an only child and always considered the family pets her siblings. She's felt an intrinsic connection with animals ever since she was a little girl and always wanted to do her part to better their lives. A career in veterinary medicine was simply the perfect choice! Katy is one of Faulkville Animal Hospital's Registered Veterinary Technicians.
Katy is originally from Columbus, Ohio and graduated from Veterinary Technician school in the fall of 2014, passing her board examinations in November. She practiced at a clinic in Ohio for a year and a half before relocating to Savannah, Georgia for her husband's job. Katy joined the Faulkville Animal Hospital team in May of 2016 and obtained her Veterinary Technician's license for the state of Georgia that same year.
Around the clinic, Katy is particularly fond of nursing sick animals back to health and reassuring anxious pet owners. She's also passionate about client education—if she can pass on her knowledge to ultimately improve a pet's life at home, she knows she's done her job!
In her time away from work, Katy likes walking and hiking, going to the beach, catching up on her favorite television shows, and spending time with her family at home. She and her husband, Dylan, have three dogs—a pair of Chihuahuas named Quinn and Tink who are practically inseparable, as well as another dog named Stella—and two cats who go by Dexter and Norman.

Laikipia boasts some of Kenya's most exclusive lodges, which are situated far from the mass tourism observed in other areas.
The area has truly benefited from forward-thinking communities and ranchers in the Laikipia region of Kenya, who have transformed much of their land into a wildlife reserve under the Laikipia Wildlife Forum.
The reserve offers travelers on a trip to Kenya with scenic landscapes and well-managed and abundant animal populations that include rarities such as the black rhino and the white rhino.

We are a unique blend of new leading edge urban mixed with traditional rural… a great quality of life with a business/technology friendly environment… a little bit country and a little bit cosmopolitan… making Collin County an enviable something-for-anyone home in the heart of North Texas.
We aren't just the Metroplex's country cousin anymore. In just a few years, we have grown into a destination county for individuals, families and corporations alike. So it's no surprise that Collin County continues to grow at one of the nation's fastest rates, welcoming almost 100 new residents every day. Our population topped 782,000 in 2010, punctuating a stunning growth spurt since the 2000 Census. The Census Bureau estimated our population at 939,585 in July 2016. But population growth is just one indicator of why Collin County is a jewel in the Texas crown.
We're Working The education level of the Collin County workforce is almost twice as high as state and U.S. averages. Almost half of our workers 25 and older possessing Bachelor's or advanced degrees. There were 104,000 more jobs in the civilian labor force here in 2006 than in 2000, far outpacing the county's 42-percent population growth spurt for the same period. The unemployment rate here, according to the
Texas Workforce Commission in November 2016, was 3.2%, compared to 4.2% for Texas and 4.4% nationwide (not seasonally adjusted).
We're Thriving Almost every Collin County industry grew by double-digit percentages from 2000-2006. Service jobs grew by almost 90 percent in those seven years. Two out of the 24 Fortune 500 companies choosing the Metroplex for their headquarters are located in Collin County, along with other major corporate headquarters.
We're Close Our residents' mean work commute time is only 28 minutes. Though 80 percent of Collin residents drive alone to work, public transportation use has more than doubled in the last eight decade. People here also work at home at a much higher rate than the state average. And to maintain reasonable get-around times, Collin County's vital road and highway projects continue to keep pace with our fast growth.
We're PreparedCollin County recevied $1.5 billion from Highway 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) toll revenues to start new road expansion projects on Highway 121; this vital east-west project stretches 25.9 miles through Collin, Dallas and Denton counties. Meanwhile, Dallas North Tollway expansion continues to push northward along the western county line. Voters here also approved a $235.6 million transportation bond package in November 2007 to support street and highway improvements throughout the county. And our Road & Bridge workers have continued to pave more and more rural, county roads each year.
We're Prospering The average tax value of a Collin County home today is $317, 599. With a five percent homestead exemption and a property tax rate decreases in 2008, 2010 and 2013 (we haven't raised our county tax rate in 21 years), our average homeowner paid about $526 in 2016 county property taxes. These reasonable housing costs continue to attract new residents from all over the nation, and contribute to high occupancy rates.
Per capita income ($38,883) in this part of North Texas is almost $10,000 a year higher than the U.S. norm, while our median family income outpaces the national rate by almost $30,000, at $100,839. On the flip side of the economic coin, about 7.6 percent of residents are considered living at or below the federal poverty level, less than half the national average and three times lower than the Texas average. It's estimated that less than two percent of our families received public cash assistance.
We're Smart When Forbes magazine rated our nation's public school districts in July 2007, Collin County rated second in the nation when it came to getting the most educational bang for the taxpayers' buck. And while total school enrollment has grown as the general population has grown -- almost 250,000 of the county's population is enrolled in school -- the biggest growth here (2000-2006) came from college student (undergraduate and graduate) enrollments, which climbed by almost 47% in the seven-year period. These students made up about one quarter of all enrolled students in the county, which underscores how employers here have a highly educated labor pool.
We're Blessed Add all this up, and include great communities, fine recreation, entertainment, and retail, deep ties to our ranching and farming heritage, a rich sense of history, and a friendly small town heart, and you've got Collin County… first in growth, second to none.

Dimming the Red Light Amsterdam Cuts Prostitute Displays
Mention that you've been to Amsterdam, and you'll likely to get a knowing smirk. While the Netherlands' capital is home to beautiful canals, stunning art and lovely 17th-century residences, the city is equally known internationally for its pot-purveying coffee shops and its vibrant red light district, complete with prostitutes posing in windows to lure the punters.
But the red light part of that equation may soon be changing. A deal reached on Thursday between the city and a real estate magnate named "Fat" Charlie Geerts is set to eliminate 51 of the iconic display windows. Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen says that, while prostitution remains legal, the sex-worker spectacles are a magnet for miscreants.
"What we want is to get rid of the underlying criminality," Cohen told Dutch television on Thursday. "We're very busy making a development plan and we hope to have that ready by the end of the year."
The plan affects about a third of the display windows in Amsterdam's famous Wallen district and the city hopes the move will take a bite out of trafficking and pimping -- problems that plague the sex industry in Amsterdam and indeed across Europe. But De Rode Draad (The Red Thread), an advocacy and support group for Holland's prostitutes, says that the move misses the target completely and disadvantages the sex workers themselves.
"By closing down the windows, you take a lot of work away from prostitutes who work independently," Sietske Altink, a deputy spokeswoman for De Rode Draad says. "It doesn't make sense to penalize the women when you want to go after the owners. Closing down the windows doesn't help the women."
Women rent out the display windows at a cost of €100 for a half day to show off their wares. While returns vary depending on the time of day, prostitutes can rake in several hundred euros during an evening shift, Altink says. Limiting the number of windows will merely drive the rental costs up with little added protection, she says.
Amsterdam has for years been trying to stem criminality in the city center -- driven, officials say, by marijuana sales and prostitution. In 2002, the city passed a law requiring businesses to submit detailed records in order to get their licenses renewed. Indeed, the city is forcing Geerts to close his windows under the provisions of that law. Geerts filed a suit last year in an attempt to stay in the shop window business. But he lost and is now selling 18 buildings to a public housing corporation for €25 million.
Mayor Cohen on Thursday hinted that there may be more restrictions to come. "The legalization of prostitution did not bring about what many had hoped," he said in the television interview. "We are still faced with distressing situations in which women are being exploited. It is high time for a thorough evaluation of the prostitution act."
De Rode Draad, though, says the government needs to go after the criminals themselves rather than the prostitution industry. "We have already held our own protests to try to drive the pimps away," Altink says. "There's not much we can do except express our anger with the government and ask the local government to help us operate our own places."
Her plea will likely go unheard. Holland has for years been trying to clean up its slightly seedy image. In recent years, hundreds of coffee shops have been forced out of business and Dutch police have cracked down on illegal marijuana cultivation in the country. Thursday's deal will likely force many prostitutes out of the Amsterdam city center and into other red light districts on the edge of the city.
Cohen says he is not interested in ridding the Wallen district of all sex workers, as the trade is part of the neighborhood's identity and tradition. Limiting the supply of premises will, however, likely make window shopping a bit more expensive.
"The windows are very popular," Altink says. "The prices will surely go up."

Welcome to our Weekly Recap! We want to equip students and parents to live out the Gospel. One way we thought we could do this better is by looking back on what we learned from Sunday and Wednesday. We also want to look ahead to next week's teaching. This way you can prepare ahead of time and remember what God has taught us.
Last Wednesday we talked about "God, will you…?" The main point of the message was to take a look at our prayer lives and see how they are surrendered to God's will. We looked at three things that helped us answer that question, What are we praying for, Is God listening, and What are we to pray for? We looked first at the heart of our prayers, why do we pray what we pray? Then we needed to answer the question, do our prayers even matter? Lastly, we wanted to discuss the importance of our attitude when we pray. We looked at the humility of Christ the night he was betrayed as he prayed, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." We left with the challenge, hand over to God the things that we are holding on to.
Last Sunday we talked about "What Do I Ask God?" Again we looked at our prayer lives and how they match up with God's will. We began by answering how we ask things according to God's will. We then talked about the hardship of waiting. Often times we think something isn't according to God's will because He hasn't answered it yet, but God is telling us to wait or is saying no. We finished with the encouragement found in Isaiah 25:6-9 to fix our eyes on the eternal rather than the temporal.
Tonight we have our church-wide Thanksgiving Service at 6:30pm in the Atrium. We will worship God, share things we are thankful for, hear a devotional from Pastor Rusty and commission our new deacons. At the end of the night there will be a dessert reception (so everyone has something to be thankful for). This will take place of our regular Wednesday night activities, so there is no evening worship this week.
Next Sunday we have small groups at 11am. You might be wondering why we are meeting when everything else is cancelled. There was a last minute decision to cancel classes, we decided to keep CSM for Sunday morning since we planned our series to go through November 29th. We know it will be a low Sunday but look forward to seeing any that can make it! We will finish our series, "Our Will vs. God's Will" by talking about "How Do We Make God's Will our Will?" We encourage everyone to read Matthew 18:1-4, Romans 12:9 and Matthew 19:16-22 to prepare their hearts! See you then!
