Photo by @joelsartore | Sensitive to changes in the environment, northern leopard frogs in the Rocky Mountain region of North America have been experiencing population declines, prompting the creation of the Northern Leopard Frog Recovery Team. This team, which is dedicated to ensuring the survival of this species, has been breeding the northern leopard frog for six years–an effort that has resulted in the release of more than 7,100 frogs. In June, the Vancouver Aquarium (@vanaqua) raised and released over 1,600 tadpoles back into the wild, which was the second largest number of tadpoles produced in a single year. In recent years members of the recovery team have been able to hear adult males calling at the release site, a good indicator that the frogs are surviving the winter months and reaching sexual maturity.

¡Excelente noticia! 👏 La Cámara de Senadores de Argentina aprobó el proyecto que convierte las zonas de Yaganes y Namuncurá-Banco Burdwood II en dos Áreas Marinas Protegidas. Juntas abarcarán unos 98.000 kilómetros cuadrados de océano protegido en el Mar Patagónico. Argentina ha dado grandes pasos en proteger sus aguas pero muchas más acciones de este tipo serán necesarias para proteger al menos 30 por ciento del planeta para 2030.

One of the Coldest Days of the Year | Photograph by Eleftherios Ted Panagiotopoulos (@e4rlyr1ser)
"As a dad of four, my time to shoot can be pretty limited. What I've realized is that if I can get up at 4AM, drive an hour into the city, shoot for an hour, I can usually make it back home in time to make my family breakfast," writes #YourShotPhotographer Eleftherios Ted Panagiotopoulos. "The coldest day we had last winter happened to fall on my Saturday shooting time, I believe it was -25 Celsius when I got to North Avenue Beach [in Chicago, Illinois]. I loved the natural split toning that was occurring over the city."
"Wonderful shot of one of the coldest shorelines in the world! Love the depth and the color and how the cracked ice draws you into the image, and the contrast between the dark, bleak waters and the glittering city. Sublime!" — @natgeo photographer Renan Ozturk (@renan_ozturk)

Since August of 2016, The Senior Program, run by Nicholas Community Action Program in Summersville, has utilized The Family Center for preparing meals and serving our seniors inside and also making delivery to their homes.
The June 2016 Flood damaged their building and currently, there are no plans to raise and restore the old Senior Center across the street from TFC.
There are also no "known" plans as to where they will relocate in the future.

Guess who appeared on MBC's 'Duet Song Festival' on June 10! None other than the handsome and talented Suho of EXO!
On this day, he paired up with Lee Se Rin, who was originally an idol trainee, and together they sang Kim Hyun Chul's "Why Are You Like This?" giving off the feeling of a love story between the two.
After the stage, Lee Se Rin said, "I was less nervous thanks to Suho. Instead, Suho was more nervous."
Suho said, "Today was my first time singing without the EXO members. Today was my solo debut stage," causing amusement. Well, it was a duet performance, but pretty much!

Your heart goes out, wanting to ease the child's discomfort, but you feel like an outsider, and are at a loss for what to do. I'm sure you would gladly trade places in an instant if you could. If only. What's going on inside the child's mind? How can you help? I'd like to attempt to describe a tic from the onset to give you more clarity and insight into what the experience is like. It is not my intention to offer options or recommendations for treatment, but rather to help enable you to understand the episodes when they do occur. Also, this is a personal account of what I have gone through, not necessarily what everyone experiences. Each individual is different. My doctor once compared Tourette Syndrome, or more specifically, tics, to a Whac-A-Mole game at an amusement park. You hold the weapon in your hand, ready to strike at whatever pops up. By the time you whack at it, three more pop up. As soon as they disappear, the first one re-appears, sometimes with more force than before. It's frustrating, to say the least. Imagine your entire body filled with millions of tiny bubbles filled with energy. Not unlike the Tasmanian Devil. Never resting, high octane bubbles, multiplying inside your body. That's what I feel like when I'm having a tough time. I feel restless. My breathing begins to accelerate. Things I try to focus on become fuzzy; not necessarily by sight, but in my mind. They're not as clear as before. I can't concentrate. Too much is happening inside. My neck feels weird. I feel this tiny rudder at the base of my skull that wants to turn my head back and forth, up and down…violently at times. (I've actually given myself whiplash because of this.) My big toe starts "thumping." All those tiny energy bubbles infiltrate my whole system. My eyes try to roll up and back into my head as far as possible. I begin to shake and tremble as I notice the heel of my hand aiming straight for my forehead again. I have to hit my forehead. I don't know why. I need to feel the pressure of something against my head. My husband wants me to stop. He thinks I might injure myself. I once asked a doctor if that was possible. He said, "Yes, you could do brain damage." Oh. But I have to do it. I don't know how not to. Sometimes my husband has to pin me down and just hold me there until I can calm down. I have to fight him. I want desperately to wrestle with him, but he's afraid someone might get hurt. Most likely me. My sensory receptors seem highly over-sensitive to everything from light and sound to temperature and movement. My feet are hot, or cold. I can't get comfortable at all. The sun is too bright. Everything is too noisy. Too loud. Too cold. Too hot. Something may move and startle me. I just about jump out of my skin! My feet are really, really hot. So are the palms of my hands. I can't do anything to change this. It drives me nuts! My foot begins to shake or "flick." On my waterbed, I feel as stiff as a board. My husband says, "Just relax." Yeah, sure, okay, I can do that…not! I try to pretend this isn't happening… pretend I'm normal. Ha! I tell myself, "Just stop all this. You're normal. Just stop and think of something else. Pretend you don't have Tourette's." That lasts a total of maybe three seconds. I hold my breath and stiffen myself as hard as I can. Maybe, just maybe, if I hold my breath long enough, I could faint. Then I'll be able to relax, right? Oh, to have something that could knock me out. Something that would calm me down, allow me to relax, let me sleep. I can fully understand the desire to take something that will immediately put me to sleep. But what if I don't wake up? I want to enjoy my life. I'm having too much fun enjoying life. I live life to the fullest! I don't want to stop that. There are too many things I want to learn how to do yet. I just want to stop the pain. Can life ever be that perfect this side of Heaven? I guess I'll just have to wait. Sometimes I don't feel like waiting a month for some of these medications to work. But I also don't want to screw up my poor brain any more than it is now. My eyes start to itch. Everyone thinks I wear contacts. Okay, think that if you want. Maybe it's easier that way. But it's just another tic. Another mole to whack. To tell you the truth, they just itch… a lot! I blink a lot, try to rub them, put drops in them. Nothing seems to help. It seems to itch behind my eyes, behind my nose, my ears, and my face. I try to itch my ears. What a pain! Q-tips just don't hack it. It itches too deep in my head. So I end up making facial contortions and grimaces, thereby looking really silly, stupid, or just plain weird. How do you itch your brain? That's what it feels like. Sometimes my brain feels funny. That's the only way I can describe it. It's almost like someone switched the wires around in my head. Like someone got in there and unhooked all the wires and put them in the wrong places. Go put 'em back! I don't like this feeling! I feel like I'm on hold. Like my brain went on "pause" and I'm stuck. I remember standing in front of my dresser, staring at it. The conversation with my brain went something like this: "Okay, get dressed." But how? "Just get dressed." But I don't know what to do! "Look, how many times in your 36 years have you done this?" A lot? "Okay, first open the drawer." How? What drawer? I'm stuck. I don't know what to do! Help! That's about the time I begin to turn in circles. I keep going until I fall on the floor, or until my husband tries to stop me. I'm dizzy, confused, and tired. Please, please just let me sleep. Sleep seems to be the only escape. But sometimes, when I'm wired, all I can do is walk in circles around the house. I've measured the distance of some of these walks. I've covered more than a mile just walking through our kitchen, hallway, dining room, and back through the kitchen again. Sometimes my five-year-old sees things that I'd prefer he not see. He gets this concerned look on his face. "Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy?" Most of the time I can turn the tic into something funny. Make a funny face or tickle him. Every night he prays that the "D's" (OCD, ADHD, Tourette SynDrome) would "stay far, far, far, far away from our whole family." Not that he understands what the D's represent, but he knows full well he doesn't want them anywhere near him. When I lay down for bed around midnight, I get as relaxed as I possibly can. But a board can only bend so much. I begin to tic again. Lately, I've been able to read for a few hours until I can't focus anymore. Then I may be able to fall asleep, usually around 2 a.m. Sometimes watching a movie may help. Sometimes I've gone up to the office to work on the budget, which just proves how desperate I am. The reading has to be something that I'm genuinely interested in, otherwise, forget it. Humor helps a lot. Whether it's a comic book or book of humorous stories, laughing seems to help get my mind off of myself. Sometimes I can browse through a magazine and get decorating ideas. Another thing that seems to help me calm down is music. For me, it's usually something like classical music, soft lullabies, or just listening to the birds sing. If I sleep well, I usually wake up feeling like a truck ran over me, totally exhausted. And if I need to get up, I'm not sure how I'm going to. All night long I've been battling things in my dreams. I'm so tired of getting shot, worrying about my son dying, and planning funerals. It just wears me out. Staring at the ceiling, I'm still somewhat in a daze. I have to lie there and try to sort through everything. What really happened? What was only a dream? Is my son asleep upstairs, or did he really die last week? It may take up to a half hour to go through everything and make sense of it all. Canceling out one dream at a time. I feel like someone's going to have to peel me off the bed like a fruit roll-up. I'm limp, totally exhausted, and have no energy whatsoever. But I can already feel Mr. Hyde's tiny energy bubbles lying deep beneath the surface like a restless tiger, waiting… biding his time… to once again take over my life. 0 Comments Submit a Comment Submit A Comment Name Comment Title Comment Could not validate captcha.

Report highways issues online and save taxpayers' cash
'Be our eyes and ears on the roads,' is the message to drivers in the area from the county's highways department.
If you spot a pothole, faulty traffic light or any other highways issue, Lincolnshire County Council wants you to let it know via its online reporting system.
The system, which can be found at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/faultreporting, is the quickest and easiest way to alert the highways team to an issue.
And unlike emails, phone calls and third-party websites, reports made in this way are at a significantly lower cost to the authority.
Another disadvantage of using third-party websites is that it is more difficult for the council to keep you updated.
In contrast, the council's online system allows you to sign up for direct updates, telling you what action is being taken and when the issue is likely to be resolved.
Coun Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "Once we're aware of a problem, we can get it dealt with.
"But although we regularly inspect all our roads, with more than 5,000 miles of highways to look after, it's simply not possible for us to be aware of all issues, all of the time.
"That means we do rely on people bringing things to our attention.
"However, around 85 per cent of these reports currently come through via telephone, email or third-party websites such as Fix My Street or Fill That Hole, all of which cost the council money.
"If people took the quicker and easier option of using our own online reporting system, it would save a significant amount of taxpayers' cash.
"And if you use our own system as opposed to a third-party website, we'll also be able to keep in touch and update you on what action is being taken and when the issue is likely to be dealt with.
"So it really is the best option for both of us."
Although the online system can be used to raise most issues, anything that poses an immediate danger should be reported by calling 01522 782070. Outside of office hours, such emergencies should be reported to the police via their 101 phone number.

Allianz Global Investors makes £500m bond investment in M6 toll road acquired by IFM Investors
Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), one of the world's leading active investment managers, is pleased to announce its £500m bond investment in the M6 toll road in central England, following the acquisition of the road by IFM Investors (IFM).
The investment, made on 2nd June 2016, spans 32 years, with AllianzGI investing on behalf of a large number of Allianz Group companies, as well as third party clients. AllianzGI's investors in the transaction include its own dedicated sterling pooled fund ("Fund 1") and clients investing via separately managed accounts. The Pension Protection Fund ("PPF"), often referred to as the UK's 'pension fund lifeboat', is one of the third party investors in the transaction – its first investment alongside AllianzGI's infrastructure debt platform.
Through this investment AllianzGI's Fund 1 is now fully invested, having completed a first close in late 2014 and a second close in 2015. AllianzGI intends to launch a second UK Infrastructure Debt fund following strong investor demand on the back of the success of Fund 1, which enabled smaller pension funds direct access to high quality long-term private bonds, which had previously only been directly accessible through large largest institutional investors.
Commenting on the transaction, Portfolio Manager, Adrian Jones said: "We are delighted to have been offered this opportunity to work with M6toll and IFM to bring a successful conclusion to this important acquisition and refinancing deal. The M6 toll road, an essential infrastructure asset with a long operating history, represents exactly the sort of asset our clients look to invest in. With the acquisition of a majority controlling stake in M6toll by IFM our clients were able to invest with confidence.
"This transaction is particularly noteworthy for AllianzGI as it represents the culmination of over a year's work by a large number of our team working from both Paris and London. It is our largest UK investment to date and it completes the investment phase of Fund 1. This was also our first investment alongside the PPF, a strategically important investor in the UK pensions industry."

In Week 3 of Faith & Politics, we began to get personal. Our presenter, Jim Schmotzer, gave us a brief political autobiography, and then we looked at the pieces that went into it. You can do this exercise, too. What are the factors that affect your political inclinations?
Family: Safe upbringing? Default setting: The world is your friend. Abusive upbringing? Default setting: The world is your enemy. At one point Jim said, "We begin to become adults when we begin to realize that our parents aren't perfect. We become adults for real when we forgive them."
World events: Which of these have caused you to look at political issues in new ways?
Era/Age: How old were you for each of those world events? What cultural factors influenced you in childhood and youth?
Theology/Religion: What does your faith teach you about politics? How about the religious organization you belong to? As you have grown and learned more about faith groups other than your own, how have they affected you?
Geography/Travel: Where do you come from? What's the political situation there? How much of the world have you seen, and what have you learned from your travels?
Personal connections/Friends: Who are the most influential people in your life outside your nuclear family?
Life events: What surprises has life thrown at you? How have you handled them?
Career/Economics: Did you grow up rich, poor, or somewhere in between? How consistent was your family's money situation? What is your economic situation like now? How did it come to be that way?
Race: What is the color of your skin? It makes a big difference in how the rest of the world perceives you … like it or not.
Gender/Sexual Identity: Some aspects of gender are apparent to the eye, and some are not. But all of them influence our politics.
Cultural Expectations: What is considered "normal" behavior in the circles you run in? What is considered suspect or intolerable?
Media/Advertising: Whom do you trust to give you information about things you haven't personally witnessed? What forces lead you to trust one media source over another? How do you decide who is trustworthy?
Education: What we learn, how much we learn, and where we learn it are all factors.
Health/Medical status/Ability: Poor health is often chronic and can affect our outlook on the world. Permanent disability is also a factor.
We each spent some time in silence working on our own life timelines and listing events and factors that have contributed to our political identities. Then we broke into groups of three and shared them with each other.
At the end of the class we asked people to share things they'd learned.
"Some people have really swapped around their political inclinations as they have grown."
"Change is the constant; you're not the same person you used to be, but the foundational blocks stay with us."
"Living in different places had a unique influence. Moving from San Francisco to rural Virginia, I saw two very different perspectives on race and segregation."
"Traveling a lot helped me see that we're all the same in many ways."
"I grew up as a city boy. But spending some time in rural areas gives a unique perspective on the importance of local government."
"Fairness and justice: my parents put these into us. They also taught us to believe in Jesus, and I'm so grateful for that. But somehow, I vote differently from my parents anyway!"
What does your political timeline look like? What events and situations have shaped you?

A key measure of Chinese manufacturing surged to its highest level in seven months in June, easing pressure on the government to implement further measures to avert possible economic slowdown.
The initial Purchasing Managers' Index, compiled by Markit Economics and HSBC Holdings Plc, stood at 50.8, compared to May's final reading of 49.4. A reading above 50 shows expansion.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang signaled last week that the government would rely on targeted regulation to spur economic growth rather than introduce "strong" stimulus.
The report triggered a temporary surge in stock prices before speculation that liquidity restrictions in the banking sector and a property slump would drag down economic growth erased the gains.
The Flash PMI reading relies on 85 percent-90 percent feedback on surveys that is given by purchasing managers in over 420 companies. The final figures are expected on July 1.
"It is a very good number," said Dong Tao, a Hong Kong-based chief regional economist for Asia ex-Japan at Credit Suisse Group AG told Bloomberg. "It is a surprise, too, as most people are focusing on infrastructure investment and the property market."
The report showed that sub-indexes for new orders and output increased while those of finished goods stocks fell. Fresh export orders grew much slowly and prices of inputs accelerated.
The report prompted Barclays and JPMorgan to revise their growth forecasts upwards as indicators showed that the government's intervention will ensure the economy grows at 7.5 percent despite slowdown in property market and fixed-asset investment.
Barclays expects China's economy to grow by 7.4 percent this year up from the initial estimate of 7.2 percent, while JPMorgan forecasts growth to hit 7.2 percent in the second quarter, up from 6.8 percent.

Jul 22, 2015 | 10:30 AM IST
Economic Data
Growth: Financial Year 2014-15 GDP growth came in at 7.3% (earlier est. 7.4%). This was an improvement from 6.9% in 2013-14, despite poor monsoons and sluggish consumption trends. Recovery was led by investments with gross fixed capital formation moving up marginally to 4.6% v/s 3%. Consumption on the other hand slowed marginally to 6.4% from 6.5%.
Inflation: May CPI rose marginally to 5% in May v/s 4.9% in April driven by pulses, vegetables and petrol. Benign trend in May CPI followed through to WPI which came in at -2.4% v/s -2.7% last month.
Monsoon: The monsoon got off to a strong start with rainfall as of month-end at 16% above normal. Recall that, the Indian Met Department has forecasted a 12% shortfall in seasonal rainfall this year post strengthening of El Nio.
Policy: RBI had a monetary policy meeting on June 2nd and in line with expectations, the central bank announced a 25bps cut in repo rate to 7.25% while leaving CRR and SLR unchanged at 4% and 21.5% respectively. The governor highlighted that forward guidance would be data contingent.
Trade Deficit:The merchandise trade deficit narrowed for the 2nd consecutive month in May to $10.4bn but the compression was largely on account of gold import normalisation. Exports stayed weak in May at -20% YoY.
Equity markets
Indian equities witnessed a muted performance in June, following a disappointing earnings season and rising global volatility with a potential Greek default and exit from Euro currency looming. Monsoons, however, got off to a strong start in June despite El Nino concerns. RBI's 25bps repo rate cut during the month also provided some comfort. Infra and Energy sectors outperformed the market while IT, Realty and Metals were among the key laggards. Markets fell in June, with the BSE-100 index -1% and CNX Midcap index -1.3%.
The selling momentum from FIIs seen in May, continued in June and we saw net-selling to the tune of $962mn. This moderated our inflow YTD to $6.75bn. DIIs remained net buyers to the tune of $1.88bn (highest monthly inflow in 5 years) with mutual funds buying $1.62bn and insurance companies contributing the balance $265mn. DIIs have now bought $3.9bn YTD.
The month of June witnessed a pickup in capital market activity with 11 deals totaling $1.4bn during the month. This was largely led by IndusInd Bank's ~$700mn QIP. Apart from that, we also saw a 3.7% stake sale (~$275mn) by Volvo in Eicher Motors and the ~$75mn stake sale by Apollo PE in Dish TV. The IPO market has also started picking up with filings of draft RHP documents by a slew of companies including Indigo Airlines, Coffee Day Enterprises and Ratnakar Bank.
The impressive tempo of Government spending seen in April continued in May with the government spending 13% of FY16 budgeted plan expenditure in April-May FY16 v/s 10% during the same period last year. Government spending has been focused on roads, rural development, agriculture and human resource development. Continuation of spending momentum seen in the first two months of the fiscal year is likely to result in a strong and visible impact on macro economic data and on corporate earnings as economic activity begins to pick up.
While monthly IIP growth remains volatile, the 6 month moving average (a more meaningful indicator in our view) of IIP is showing clear signs of improvement. Currently, the 6MMA is running at 3.8%, v/s a sub 1% reading last 1-2 years.
The markets are trading at about 17-18x FY16 estimated earnings for SENSEX. Given benign oil prices, unwinding of China optimism, monsoon progress thus far and a resilient currency, we continue to maintain a positive bias on the market (barring any near term volatility that may emanate from events in Greece).
The only other risk factor we visualise over the immediate term, emanates from worries over the Fed rate hike causing a continued muted environment for foreign equity inflows.
The strength of the market in such a situation will depend on the resilience of domestic inflows, which so far this year have surpassed expectations. With real interest rates staying in positive territory, we expect this trend to continue as India's household savings transition from physical to financial assets.
Debt Market Update
Bond yields experienced high volatility in June. Global bond rout, Greece default at the end of the month and monsoon concerns dominated the bearish sentiment.
RBI delivered 25 bps rate cut at the start of the month but rate cut did not help bond yields as language of policy seemed to indicate a pause in the rate cut cycle. Unlike previous policies, RBI didn't give explicit future guidance and raised its March'16 inflation forecast to 6% on account of monsoon worries (based on IMD forecast of poor Monsoon) and service tax hike.
CPI and WPI prints were in line with market expectations and continued the trend.
The 10-year benchmark bond ended the month at 7.86%, 22 bps higher than the previous close of 7.64%.
Though RBI indicated that it may 'pause' in its rate cut cycle, future actions will be data dependent.
The US Fed policy statement was seen to have a slight dovish tilt, as the wording took global developments into consideration. The development was positive for bonds.
Events in Greece overshadowed the Fed. Greece defaulted on interest payments on its IMF loan and called for a referendum for future stance on its outstanding debt repayment. However, the actual Greek default did not have much effect on the markets.
China continues to slow down and recent rout in local stock market led to sell off in commodities. Hope of deal with Iran and falling global demand has caused steep fall in crude oil prices. Brent oil has corrected more than 10% in is currently trading at USD 56/barrel.
On the domestic front, after a good start, monsoon rains have dried up. We believe the correlation between poor monsoon and food inflation is not very strong and that poor monsoon would cause more damage to rural demand than to primary inflation. RBI has also highlighted that poor monsoon may not necessarily result in higher inflation.
We expect inflation to continue to ease as crude prices and other commodity prices ease. We also expect limited impact of any deficiency in monsoon on food prices. Proactive measures by the Government by importing pulses, oilseeds and increase in export price of onions are likely to help in keeping food inflation in check.
Over the medium term we expect that the Government measures in tandem with monetary policy will help RBI in achieving inflation target. The current levels of bond yields are attractive from a medium term perspective. In the near term, higher volatility might continue as news flows from Europe and China would continue.

Stormwater draining from streets and arroyos in the Albuquerque area carries trash, bacteria and chemicals that pollute the Rio Grande. Typically, as urban growth expands, impervious surfaces replace areas of native soil and vegetation. The Albuquerque region has expanded from the valley to the mesas, foothills and mountains since this photo was taken in 1935.
As the land was paved, non-point source pollution has increased, carried by stormwater into the Rio Grande. The loss of aquatic habitat is a result.
The Albuquerque area's "first flush" of stormwater produces a "very high level of E.coli, at 50,000 ppm." Dr. Bruce Thomson, UNM, at the 2013 Water Conservation Conference.
Local governments work to decrease pollution levels with public information campaigns, such as the "Poop Fairy" poster campaign in Bernalillo County. Canine waste is a major contributor of bacteria in the region's stormwater; human and bird waste are also significant. Inorganic pollutants from oils are also causing problems.
Green Infrastructure and the EPA – UPDATE December 2014
The US Environmental Protection Agency recognizes the connection between impervious (paved) surfaces and pollution in local waterways. The EPA, which administers the Clean Water Act, encourages changes in stormwater management approaches using Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development (LID). Generally, that means less emphasis on "grey infrastructure" such as channelized arroyos and storm sewers, and more on practices that slow, spread, and sink stormwater on site.
The agency has designated the Middle Rio Grande sub-basin as a pilot area for a watershed-based Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit. The new "MS4 Permit" challenges local agencies to adopt stormwater control practices that provide the most environmental results and community benefits. The MS4 permit involves about 18 government jurisdictions and institutions, including the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County and AMAFCA (a flood control authority).
With more direction forthcoming from the EPA, Green Infrastructure is gradually becoming a standard practice of landscape architects, permaculture designers and developers. Many practitioners view GI, which includes rainwater harvesting techniques, as common sense solutions to other problems. Stormwater is viewed as a resource, not a problem or a waste product. On a large scale, the challenges are formidable, and flood control and Rio Grande water supply requirements to downstream users are important public issues.
This site features photos of several GI techniques, including catchment basins, swales, berms and trees. Permeable pavements, green roofs, and rainwater storage with tanks and underground cisterns are also in the mix of GI.
What is allowed?
People at workshops with Querencia Green have asked what they can do with the rainwater that falls on their property. In the State of New Mexico, the Office of the State Engineer has provided one statement on its website: the Rainwater/Snowmelt Harvesting Policy.
The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer supports the wise and efficient use of the state's water resources and, therefore, encourages the harvesting, collection and use of rainwater from residential and commercial roof surfaces for on-site landscape irrigation and other on-site domestic uses. The collection of water harvested in this manner should not reduce the amount of runoff that would have occurred from the site in its natural, pre-development state. Harvested rainwater may not be appropriated for any other uses.
Local Government Regulations shift toward Green Infrastructure
The City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County have adopted or updated ordinances that affect new development, beginning a policy shift toward green infrastructure and rainwater harvesting practices.
Bernalillo County requires water conservation with options for conserving outdoor as well as indoor water use. Today, "Building permit applications for all new Commercial and Large Multi-Family Development on more than 1 acre shall include a fully and properly completed Commercial Outdoor Water Conservation Plan and Site Plan that includes three of the following seven outdoor water conservation measures related to landscaping." Three of those options are green infrastructure techniques: passive water harvesting (earthworks), collected and stored rainwater (tanks and barrels), and "Precipitation Supported Plant Material" (native and other water-wise plants).
In 2012, The City of Albuquerque revised its Drainage Ordinance to require new developments to "manage the runoff from precipitation from 90th Percentile Storm Events." The amount of rainwater from such a storm event in this region is .44 inches (nearly half an inch). This type of storm event can cause pollution problems when it is the first of the rainy season: the "first flush" contains the highest concentration of pollutants in urbanized areas. (On average, only five rain days have half an inch rain or more annually.)
Infiltration into soil and water harvesting are listed as techniques for capturing, slowing, and utilizing this stormwater on site.
Property owners need to apply for a permit from the City if they intend to move 500 cubic feet or more of earth on their site while installing earthworks.
As we adapt to the need for reducing pollutant loads in urban stormwater runoff, more Low Impact Development strategies should emerge, include planning, zoning and design standards that control stormwater runoff discharges to mimic pre-development runoff conditions. Low impact development can involve cluster development and maximize the amount of permeable area, leaving some land in natural conditions.
Local residential and civic projects can demonstrate how to slow and spread rainwater, while saving potable water and energy, and growing native plants. Neighborhood champions and residents are part of the solution, helping local governments comply with the new stormwater permit standards and creating demand for incentives and programs that create benefits in our neighborhoods.

Volunteering at SACS
The work of our volunteers is a vital part of our community and inherent in our School's culture. Every year over 300 parents and friends from across the city volunteer their time to many aspects of School life, including educational support, administration, fund raising and other community activities. We are extremely grateful for the dedication of our volunteers and their selfless acts of commitment to assisting in so many ways.
How can you help?
St Andrew's recruits volunteers for activities that enhance student learning, as well as a variety of other community activities such as:
- Reading and literacy for Junior School and Middle School
- Reading programme for Gawura students
- Set building, painting and sewing for school musicals and plays
- Mentor at Maker Space on Friday afternoons
- Liaison for city learning
- Convenor or class parent
- Sort and restore school archives
- Support choristers
- Assist with major fundraising events for P&F and Foundation
- Join parents prayer group or Community Choir
- Scribe or reader for senior college exams including HSC and IB
Volunteering is a Rewarding Experience
"Volunteering at SACS is a pleasant change from work- it's a team effort with the joys that go with that. It has led to new friendships and is also rewarding when you are actually working with the kids themselves – it helps to remind you why SACS is a great school". Year 8 parent
"Our time as Parent Volunteers has made SACS as real and important a community for us as it is for our three children. Our children take quiet pride in the time, care and effort we bring into "their" school and have really enjoyed watching us as parents being part of their school journey. Our Volunteer adventures are often the subject of laughing dinner table discussions." Year 12 parent
"It is very satisfying to have been able to use our professional skills, experience and networks to help the school, but it has also been a huge amount of fun to stumble through learning to cook a thousand sausages in 90 minutes for the swimming carnival." Year 9 parent
The opportunity we have had to meet and get to know fellow parents from all round Sydney, to be part of so many unique experiences and events and to grow personally and as a family has been profound." Year 12 parent
All volunteers who work with children must undertake a Working with Children Check, and observe the protocols for volunteering at the School. Please see the attached SACS Volunteers Policy.
All volunteers need to email their WWC number to [email protected] with their date of birth.
If you would like to volunteer or need some more information on volunteering at SACS, please contact Lyn Jarvis by email at [email protected] who can direct your enquiry to the right division.

Backpack the Little Carp River Trail in the Porkies
Four waterfalls in one hike, The Little Carp River Trail is a cool segment within the Porkies featuring some awesome lakefront camping options.
The Little Carp River Trailhead is located in the center of the Porcupine Mountain State Park, about 16 miles west of the park headquarters on S. Boundary Road. At the start of the trailhead, hikers can see Overlooked Falls. About a mile in one the trail, Greenstone Falls can be seen past both the Greenstone Falls and Section 17 hiker cabins (reservable at Michigan DNR Website). Continuing on the trail, Trapper's Falls is located roughly four miles from the trailhead.
After Trapper's Falls, there are two water crossings on the trail. There are usually downed trees along the river, however, the river is usually only knee deep by the trails. The trail is a continued mix of flat and weathered terrain, but very manageable for hikers of all levels and pets. The final waterfall, Trader's Falls, on the trail is roughly two miles ahead.
Approaching the end of the trail, the Lake Superior Trail intersects with the Little Carp River Trail at the mouth of the river. Along a 1.3 mile stretch of the LS Trail, there are 10 backcountry sites along with four cabins. Most of the backcountry sites have wind guards built around their firepits.
Because of the trail conditions early in the season, our group had to hike back on the Little Carp River Trail to return to the trailhead. In ideal conditions, another route is Cross Trail (4.5 miles) from the northern section of Lake Superior Trail near the mouth of Big Carp River. The Cross Trail intersects with the Little Carp River trail near Greenstone Falls.

Dorchester Banner
CAMBRIDGE – Mashona Council is from Atlanta, Ga., but was drawn to Dorchester County by stories of Harriet Tubman's escape to freedom and her subsequent efforts to lead other slaves to the North. Her interest led to challenge herself with a walking journey along the route followed by Ms. Tubman when she escaped slavery.
Ms. Council began her journey on Sept. 17 at the Dorchester County Visitor Center in Cambridge (Byway site 1) and visited all 36 Byway sites while camping overnight. She followed the 125-mile trail as a personal challenge and a spiritual journey.
"Her trip mirrors Harriet Tubman's first attempted escape to freedom begun on Sept. 17 in 1849," a written statement from Dorchester Tourism said.
Though Tubman's initial attempt was not successful, she did succeed in gaining her freedom later that year, when she escaped in December.
Maryland and Delaware residents followed Council's inspirational journey on social media, as she passed from Dorchester into Caroline County, and from there into Delaware.
Peter Bernstein wrote, "We visited a number of the sites today and while it's so sad to imagine the pain and hardships endured by so many, it's also a story of incredible bravery, resilience, resourcefulness and power. I'm humbled by [Tubman's] greatness."
Ms. Council said on social media, "I understand now, how Harriet Tubman made it to freedom. It was an age-old recipe made up of equal portions of courage, strategy, faith, prayer, the kindness of strangers and God's grace."
Along the way, maybe reminiscent of Ms. Tubman's own experiences, Ms. Council was offered words of encouragement, food and water. The help came both from those who knew of her trip and admired her for it, and from people who didn't, and simply thought Ms. Council could use a kind word or a drink.
"I thought I was doing this alone, but this has truly been our Freedom Walk 2017."

There is a cure for that packing predicament of too many clothes and not enough space: convertible dresses. They're all light-weight material and don't wrinkle, making them the solution to nights out, days at the beach, and afternoons gallery hopping (all in one dress!).

Zap to make electric sedan based on its sports car
Electric-vehicle maker Zap says it will come out with an electric car that will go about 100 miles on a charge but cost only $30,000, a combination of features that so far hasn't been achieved.
Whether Zap will succeed is an open question.
According to the company, the sedan will be a derivative of the Zap-X, a sport SUV scheduled to hit the market toward the end of 2008. The Zap-X is designed to go 350 miles without a charge and from 0 mph to 60 mph in about 4.8 seconds. Continue reading Zap to make electric sedan based on its sports car
General Motors Reports Progress Toward New All-Electric Car
By John Bichard
Washington – 19 June 2007 – In January of 2007, General Motors (GM) unveiled a concept car powered solely by electricity. The Chevrolet Volt is a big step beyond today's hybrid, that uses both a gasoline engine and electric motor. VOA's John Birchard reports on the progress GM is making toward turning the Volt from an attractive idea into a production vehicle.
As vice president of research and development and strategic planning for General Motors, Larry Burns is responsible for the company's efforts to reinvent the automobile, so to speak – to move beyond conventional gasoline-powered vehicles to environmentally sound "green" cars of tomorrow.

Mice Asia Net : October 2008
news LEFT: North-East ground view. Courtesy of Singapore GP Pte Ltd. BELOW: Anderson Bridge. Courtesy of Singapore GP Pte Ltd. When considering Singapore for hosting a Grand Prix, Formula One was looking for many of the same attributes as any major international exhibition such as ITB Asia, being held in October at Suntec Singapore located between turns three and seven along Raffles Boulevard. Easy access to the track was imperative, and Singapore's is a street circuit that requires blocking off roads around Marina Bay, which was predicted to cause traffic jams. By September 20 the final pieces of essential race infrastructure including concrete barriers and fencing spanning the entire circuit, 16 grandstands and six temporary pedestrian overhead bridges were assembled on-site. Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive of Singapore Tourism Board, Lim Neo Chian, who chairs the Formula One Working Committee, said: "With the circuit located in the heart of town, the needs of the various stakeholders, businesses and hotels in the area have also been considered." Visitors and commuters to the area were strongly encouraged to use public transport to get to their destinations in the Marina Centre area. Pedestrians could access the Marina Centre area via the underground CityLink walkway. This made accommodation even more critical, with Singapore offering five, five-star hotels located trackside: Fairmont Singapore, Marina Mandarin Singapore, Pan Pacific Singapore, Swissotel The Stamford and The Fullerton Hotel Singapore. They offered a combined 3780 rooms for between SGD800-2000 per night on the Singapore Grand Prix's hotel booking engine at www.singaporegp.sq, with most insisting on a minimum four- or 6 miceAsia.net five-night stay. These were sold out months in advance as were most of the rooms in the 27 other four- and five-star properties listed on the site. Major MICE events generate a fraction of the attention that a Formula One weekend brings, with lead-up activities taking over a city for close to a week. "The race experience [was] made complete with the many lifestyle offerings that we lined up with the Singapore GP Season," Mr Chian said. Held over three weekends, the Singapore GP Season showcased various Formula One-themed activities, entertainment events and lifestyle festivals as well as shopping and dining promotions to get visitors and Singaporeans all revved up for the race. Singapore GP Season aimed to present visitors with a total race experience while boosting Singapore's image as a vibrant event and entertainment capital in Asia that offers top-notch lifestyle experiences including the Singapore River Festival and "Formula One™ - The Great Design Race" at the National Museum showing the evolution of grand prix cars. However, one mainstay had to be replaced. "There [was] no Grand Prix Ball as the race [was] at night. However, there was a Presidents Challenge Charity Luncheon on Friday, September 26," Mr Chen said. Some commentators believed there were a few first-year glitches before the chequered flag fell at the end of the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix, but the city proved that its immense MICE experience helped launch Formula One into the future.

Students at Riverside Elementary school are returning to the classroom this month for a special summer curriculum aimed at enhancing their reading and writing abilities.
The 28 participating students are spending June on field trips visiting local areas of interest, sharing their thoughts and experiences in writing and reading a long list of stories.
Known as the Read to be Ready Summer program, the state grant funds educational camps during the summer that target rising first, second and third graders who are not on grade level in reading. Along with Riverside, Columbia's Howell Elementary School is also hosting the program.
Students from three additional elementary schools — Brown, Highland Park, and McDowell — were also invited to join the Read to be Ready summer camp that will be held at the Maury County Boys & Girls Clubs Wayne Street location.
With seven teachers from Maury County Public Schools instructing, students are given more attention in a classroom with a 5 to 1 ratio with educators rather than the common 20 to 1 seen during the school year.
"If you are not in reading level by third grade you can be in major trouble moving forward," the program's coordinator and Riverside kindergarten teacher Olivia Smith said. "We are able to provide for kids who are right on that reading level and just try to build a love of reading for them."
Smith and fellow kindergarten instructor Julia Mosier began writing a proposal for the grant in February, working together in their free time to make sure that their students would get the opportunity.
After being allotted $35,000 to run the program the teachers were able to lower their required budget to $30,000 through community partnerships with local businesses and institutions including Lee Company and Thompson's Station Church.
"Through the grant, we were able to hire teachers and go on field trips to make everything more real for them and just show them how we use reading and writing in everyday life and build that love for it," Smith said. "It has just been wonderful and I think it has been great for our teachers too. They just get to have fun with it."
On Wednesday, the students visited the Maury County Library and were all signed up for their first library cards, taking home their first loaned books.
"I like that we do," Allen Daniel Stewart, 6, said. "We went to the library and we got to pick out a book. I like how we get to write about animals."
Later in the day, the students were visited by a bunny named Foo Foo and a lizard.
"Just being able to provide them with an environment during the summer where they get to read and have fun," Smith said. "It is just totally different from the school year. It is just a lot of fun. It really is more like a camp than a school. We really are not trying to hammer skills into them, we are trying to build a love of reading."
Read to be Ready is a coordinated approach across the state to increase third grade reading proficiency.
The effort corresponds locally to Maury County Public School's community-driven Keys to College and Career Readiness setting the community's expectations for students in the county.
According to the Keys to College and Career Readiness, all students should be reading on grade level by the end of the third grade.
"The Read to be Ready grant money paired with the teachers we have slated to work this summer is going to yield tremendous results for our students," MCPS School Improvement Coordinator Cara Skaggs said in a recent announcement about the program. "Young readers need to continue reading and writing throughout the summer and our targeted plans will ensure it."
Funded by the state, this year's program is providing $30 million to teachers and students across Tennessee.
"It is good having something that is really geared for our kids," Riverside Principal Reggie Holmes said. "We know exactly what our kids need and how we can give it to them."

Un Educated People...
My mum's friend suffers from moderate allergies, so showed me some pictures of her face when it swelled up as much as it was uncomfortable.
She's not a sympathetic person at all, but began telling me how it ruined her life~ however in the 15 years I have known this woman she has had children, moved to a second home in france, toured the world, and decorated an entire house she rents out, I think not.
A little bit taken a back by her ignorance, considering who she was talking to, I told her one of her favourite mottos ''if every one put their problems in a pot they'd pick their own back out'' furious, she told me she'd rather have CFS than her allergies, when i replied that she was being absolutely ridiculous she got upset that I wasn't giving her enough sympathy despite the fact that when i lost a close family member at 10 years old she told me to ''get over it''.
I still refuse to speak to this ''woman'' until she educates herself about CFS, and general humanity.

Client Successes
For over 14 years we've helped thousands of clients streamline their procurement process. Here are just some of their comments about our technologies and services.
What our clients say
"Each module within the platform works together like pieces of a puzzle."
– Stormy Thomas
"With the complexity of today's healthcare supply chain stream, IOS has helped us facilitate a method of increasing visibility to our purchase data and automating many of our procurement activities across our 275+ sites."
– Stephanie Phillips
"One of the biggest efficiencies we gained was in the invoice processing area. Envi took us from getting multiple paper invoices every day to being able to manage them electronically in a system."
– Ashlee Stafford
"My favorite part of the system is being able to submit an order to multiple vendors in five minutes or less. Scan, approve orders, order, done."
– Jason Meyer
"Having used several materials management and ERP systems built for larger acute-care hospitals, I'm amazed to find that IOS is more functional and user-friendly while costing a fraction of what those big name pro-grams command."
– Bettie Johnson
"My favorite part of the system is the availability of detailed and granular data which has helped us identify cost containment issues in various specialties."
– Brian Giessler
"We were able to achieve over $1 million in savings within the first year of the IOS system deployment (11 ASCs). The savings were achieved by having greater visibility into the prices paid for each product across all of our ASCs through IOS's 3-way match process. Also, IOS's enterprise system made it possible for us to track and enforce our local and GPO contracts across all of our ASCs."
– Amy Gagliandi
"Overall I am extremely happy with IOS. I like how IOS has been able to grow and expand as we have grown. Prior to IOS we had a lot of double entry. The support at IOS has been great"
– George Brackett
