Hootie and Rocket would soon realize that this play date with said moose would not be too much fun - I guess that the canine adventures are more fun in their imaginations...a moose seems to be a big visitor, and this is merely a cow - the bull might be more frightening. Moose must be a sight in the north wilds of the Gem State!

"Smiling Moose Point" - nice!
My daughters' cats go nearly berserk when the neighborhood moose come around. Great picture you've taken, there.

If she comes around often enough, you'll have to name her!
Shadow, shadow, if I could,
I would meet you in the wood,
Where the frenzied fairies play
In the blazing light of day.
But, dear shadow, I dare not
Go to that secluded spot,
For I fear the woodland path
And what's more, the fairies' wrath!

How cool! Great shot, Cassie. I think I'd be a little nervous with a moose in my back yard! :-)
Enjoy your Sunday!

Oh my! That's certainly a large visitor, even if still young.
I'm surprised Baby Rocket Dog doesn't want to jump in there with Hootie to "get it". Our little terrier mix (about 25 pounds) thinks she can take on anything! Our other five dogs are at least twice her size or larger and she still thinks she's top dog. (she's actually at the bottom of the pack) It's embarassing how she behaves in the waiting room at the vet's.
Enjoyed this shot!

Robert Detobel: SHAKESPEARE: THE
Review by Jan Scheffer and Elke Brackmann
Robert Detobel has definitely achieved real mastery in the art of making documents speak. Reading is not as easy a skill as it seems: The seduction of speculating and lazy thinking is not only a modern danger, even for Oxfordianism; Detobel indeed teaches us to read anew.
In the introduction he promises to thoroughly examine key documents and placing them in their right historical context, something previous scholars have failed to do, doubtless with disastrous results - his unbiased approach to the task, however, is outstanding.
The book is divided into three parts. A proper reading of the "lifeless" documents results in his demonstrating that de Vere is Shakespeare. The dedication to the Herbert brothers and the epistle "To the Great Variety of Readers" in the First Folio are analyzed first. He goes to great lengths to stress a difference most readers might simply overlook, namely that the author was dead and could not edit his own works. However, the two statements are not correlated. As minute as the difference might appear at first glance, as wide-reaching are the consequences for the authorship debate. For the epistle tells us that the author was departed by death from the right to "oversee" his work, whereas the dedication states that he had not the fate "to execute" his own writings, adding that this was "common with some". Both terms are borrowed from testamentary terminology. The overseer was appointed by the testator to watch the executor; he controlled the execution of the will from the background. This is what Shakespeare was doing as an overseer between 1598 and 1604. In 1604 he was deprived of that right. But even between 1598 and 1604 the author Shakespeare did not "edit" his works as he did not publicly assume the role of author, that is, he wrote neither dedications nor epistles to the readers, nor were the works accompanied by any encomia. It was not death that deprived him of the right to edit. The fate of not being in a position to "execute" or "edit" his own works if these works were, as Francis Bacon expressed it in the apologizing letter to his brother Anthony prefacing the first edition of his Essays in 1597, if "they be of some nature", was the fate of the aristocratic writer. And so the apposition "common with some" becomes perfectly clear. To edit their own works was common for "commoners" but not for aristocrats. This sophisticated diction must be taken seriously, not only read superficially: Thus these two very small bits of information suffice to set free this truth: Shakespeare was an aristocrat or courtier who died in 1604. It is hardly surprising that no noteworthy attempt has been undertaken by orthodox scholars to elucidate the meaning of those prefaces.
The other two chapters of the first part proceed with a close reading of the registers of the Stationers' Company between 1595 and 1623. It is Detobel's merit to have shown for the first time what scholars had been unable to explain up to now: What does the entry of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice on 22 July 1598 mean? What we have to do with is a memorandum to the successive wardens (they were yearly elected anew) of the company that no other stationer could claim the printing of one issue even when the copy owner James Roberts were waiting a very long time before publishing the play - which, indeed, is what Roberts was doing. But this prohibition could take effect on only one condition: the author had to express his veto. From which it follows that the Lord Chamberlain, making the publication conditional upon his permission or licence, was the author. Who is this Lord Chamberlain? In 1598 there were only two candidates: Lord Hunsdon, Chamberlain of Her Majesty's House, as was his full title, or the Earl of Oxford, Lord Great (or High) Chamberlain of England. Hunsdon is of course an unlikely candidate. Again, Detobel successfully turns to another document to support his thesis, scrutinizing Francis Meres' "Comparative Discourse" in which no mention is made of Hunsdon. Checking Meres' symmetries in each paragraph, he arrives at a surprising conclusion which seems irrefutable. Meres deviates four times from exact symmetry. In four cases the numbers of Meres' comparisons are not equal on both sides of the equation. But the asymmetry is in each case spurious. As in the paragraph on comedy 16 ancient and 17 English authors are listed, this asymmetry too is spurious. It is the paragraph mentioning both Edward de Vere and Shakespeare!
The second part mainly deals with the letter in Greene's Groatsworth of Wit and Chettle's apology. Both documents contain a number of elements more overlooked than looked over by orthodox and anti-Stratfordian scholars alike. His profound reading of the documents makes some of the actions of the "divers of worship" intervening for another "worship" in this literary scandal explicable. Detobel proceeds analytically, asking important questions: Why did the "divers of worship" argued against the letter in GGW that the playwright was "honest" when, at face value, no such reproach is made? If the "divers of worship" argued the playwright's honesty, the possibility must be contemplated that such a reproach was implied. Why does Chettle revoke the reproach alleged by the "divers of worship" by ascertaining that his "demeanour was civil" and why the "divers of worship" seemed to be satisfied with this revocation? And what could Chettle's affirmation that his demeanour was civil "as he excellent in the qualiy he professes" mean ? Why did Chettle not know for certain if one of the two playwrights actually felt personally offended (he only knew it because "divers of worship" intervened on behalf of one of the playwrights)? Why did Chettle not address a personal apology to this playwright as he did in the case of the other (Marlowe)? Indeed, Chettle's apology to the third playwright was a public one, enforced on him by the "divers of worship".
The answer, based on two articles on slander in the 16th and 17th centuries by William S. Holdsworth in the Law Quarterly Review (1924) is fairly simple. Slander of commoners was a private affair dealt with by a court, generally the Court of the Star Chamber. Chettle had to reckon with being sued by Marlowe for slander in the Star Chamber. But slander of a peer or another high-ranking officer was no private affair: it was an affair of state. Neither was it the private affair of the high-ranking person to require restitution of honor nor was it left to a court. The Privy Council took charge of the matter. As they did in 1580 when Gabriel Harvey slandered Oxford and Sir James Croft thought he had been slandered by Harvey. Neither of them intervened personally with Harvey. Harvey was urged to recant by some "worshipful persons", being Sir Walter Mildmay and second secretary of state Thomas Wilson. Hence, the third playwright was a man of high rank and can neither be the commoner William Shakespeare nor the commoner George Peele. This cogitation is sufficient to destroy the contention that George Peele was the third playwright. But Chettle gives us another information which has hardly ever been noted and excludes Peele: the third playwright's "demeanour was civil" and " as excellent as he in the quality he professes". The expression "quality he professes" was only used for the profession of actor and unequivocally tells us that the third playwright had been exposing himself as an actor. Moreover, the author explains why Chettle's testimony to the civility of the third playwright satisfied the "divers of worship" who had "argued his honesty", civility and honesty being interchangeable signifiers for "proper social behavior", something orthodox scholars seem not to be aware of.
Would this have been all, Shakespeare: The Concealed Poet would still be a very valuable book. These two parts, however, are topped by the wealth of new insights contained in the third part, which offers us a close reading of the Harvey-Nashe quarrel and the relation it bears to the subplot of Love's Labour's Lost. The importance of the Harvey-Nashe quarrel and the subplot of Love's Labour's Lost for the Oxfordian theory cannot be stressed enough. That this subplot has something to do with the Harvey-Nashe quarrel has also been noted by orthodox scholars. But they have never entered into the details. Understandably, for it would be hard for them to dodge the question why Shakespeare, who in his play shows himself privy to it, is not once named by Harvey or Nashe, whereas Oxford occupies centerstage, sometimes expressly named, more often clearly alluded to. Moreover, by intentionally confounding four times in a row Harvey's Three Familiar Letters of 1580 in one of which he libeled Oxford and his Four Letters of 1592 in which he vituperated Robert Greene and Thomas Nashe, Nashe sends us the clear message that the quarrel between him and Harvey in 1592 is intimately connected with the satirical poem "Speculum Tuscanismi" Harvey wrote against Oxford in 1580. In the light of this quarrel, many a joke in the subplot of Love's Labour's Lost becomes better understandable. The Harvey-Nashe quarrel and the subplot of Love's Labour's Lost illuminate one another.
Finally, although he does not name him explicitly, at one point Nashe identifies Oxford unambiguously. Indeed, in Have With You to Saffron Walden Nashe is lashing out at Harvey's overbearing speeches at Audley End in 1578. Nashe's source in this case are the four books of Harvey's Gratulationes Valdinenses. The first three books contain Harvey's speeches to the Queen, Lord Burghley and the Earl of Leicester, the fourth book the speeches to the Earl of Oxford, Philip Sidney and Christopher Hatton. So when Nashe in 1596 wishes Sidney's "knight companion" the favor he had enjoyed at court in his youth, only Oxford can be meant (Leicester, Sidney and Hatton were dead in 1596). Nashe suggests that Oxford is writing under another name; he wishes him "no other fame than he hath purchased himself by his pen". The praise Nashe, writing, it be reminded, in 1596, bestows on Oxford is the praise one would have expected him to bestow on the literary star of the day, the author of Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece , for Nashe lauds Oxford as "Our Patron, our Phœbus, our first Orpheus or quintessence of invention". But a real author William Shakespeare seems to have been completely unknown to Nashe.
Detobel has kept his promise and more than that: The title page shows Rembrandt's famous doctors dissecting a corpse; obviously an allusion to the Stratfordians' attempt of reanimating Shaxpeare as Shakespeare. Detobel's profound and selfless research is a powerful medicine against such wishful thinking and at the same time open to further enrichment.
There is a German proverb expressing the fact that when matters are generally settled it is the little things that cause big problems. A word-for-word translation is "The devil is always stuck in the details." But so are the gods! Meditating upon details dispels uncertainties and doubts and offers insights. Detobel's contribution has helped the latter side. Oxfordianism cannot do without his mental landmarks.

Up-and-coming Swedish teenager Gustav Malja has joined EuroInternational for this weekend's FIA European Formula 3 Championship weekend at Pau.
The nineteen-year-old is hoping to use the weekend in Pau to help prepare him for his Formula Renault 3.5 Series weekend around the streets of Monaco for Strakka Racing the following weekend.
"Racing at Pau this weekend is exactly the kind of preparation I need ahead of Monaco," said Malja. "I have never driven at a street circuit before, and this will give me some vital experience of that.
"I'm thankful to EuroInternational for this great opportunity. I know that it will be a massive challenge, but my only expectation for this weekend is to learn as much as I possibly can about this unique kind of racing.
"Having said that, I'm obviously here to explore the limits between the barriers and to give it my all, even though it's just a one-off in F3. I really, really can't wait to get out on track on Friday."
EuroInternational had a troubled weekend at Hockenheim last time out, with Nicolas Beer missing the final two races due to injury, while Marvin Kirchhöfer withdrew from the second car to concentrate on his GP3 Series campaign.

Everyday, Everyday I Have the Blues
By John Stoltzfus,
Chief Investment Strategist
Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
Appetite for stocks grew last week as economic data suggested slow growth to persist
In a New Year's holiday abridged week stocks opened on Wall Street moving higher with several major stateside indices surging in the first four days of trading. The NASDAQ Composite led the major indices jumping 3.4% to its latest record high of 7136.6. The Dow Jones Industrial average rose 2.3% with the broad average the S&P 500 rising 2.6% on the week. Both the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P 500 closed the week at record highs last Friday.
Mid cap stocks gained but at a lessor pace lagging larger capitalization stocks with the S&P 400 advancing to a new record high on Friday with a gain of just 1.9% for the week. Small caps posted even more modest gains relative to the large caps as the Russell 2000 and the S&P 600 advanced just 1.6% and 1.4%, respectively to attain their latest respective record highs in the same period.
For yet another week since the fourth quarter began in the year just ended it looked to us like more bull market bears and skeptics were throwing in the towel just as the annual inflow of retirement money flowed into equities.
Adding to the gains among stocks last week likely was investor money seeking to get (or achieve greater) exposure to stocks on the expectation of positive effects on corporate earnings from the tax reform bill (taking the maximum corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%) as well as the potential for further returns for shareholders as US multinationals are incentivized to repatriate earnings previously held abroad.
It's worth noting recent reports in the press have indicated that private investors have been selling into the stock market's gains even as institutional investors bid prices higher. However, some news stories have suggested that at least 40% of the money that has exited traditional open-ended equity mutual funds has flowed back into equities via ETFs. Such repositioning could help account for some of last week's action as well.
"For now we see a US economy in the process of "reflating" rather than producing levels of inflation high enough to be worrisome to investors or the Federal Reserve Board."
Foreign investors were also reported to be adding exposure to US equities as the sustainability of the US economic expansion appeared more evident.
For now equities remain our favorite asset class for goal-oriented investors so long as economic and corporate fundamentals continue to improve.
Trees Don't Grow to the Sky
With the S&P 500 four days into the New Year having closed on Friday a little less than 9.5% away from our 2018 target of 3000 for the index, we'd suggest that investors enjoy the ride the market has provided so far this year while keeping expectations right-sized for now. Though we have yet to be approached by a taxi or Uber driver proffering stock tips or offering investment ideas we can't help but recall that a number of former die hard skeptics and bears have adopted bull market calls just before the start of the year and now some are increasing their targets. Considering ourselves contrarians at heart, we always get a tad nervous when too many folks move to our side of the boat.
With those concerns in mind we would suggest keeping the party hats in the box and keeping an eye on where the seatbelts are. We can't help but recall the commercial airline pilot's perennial admonishment that "it's okay to move around the cabin but it's best to keep your seatbelts fastened while in your seats."
We're not suggesting that the bull market is ending (we think it's "got legs"—or room and reason to move higher over time) but believe it is important for investors to take the title of Larry David's TV show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to heart as a handy mantra. As professional investors we always try to keep our expectations right-sized—an approach which has resulted in our being pleasantly surprised quite often since the current bull market began in March of 2009.
Should the market find a catalyst in the next few months to "take a haircut" or even just take profits we'd suggest (depending on the catalyst of course) that investors weather the choppiness that results rather than "run for the door."
For now we see a US economy in the process of "reflating" rather than producing levels of inflation high enough to be worrisome to investors or the Federal Reserve Board. Looking ahead we see good prospects for corporate revenues and earnings to improve as more people get back to work, economies abroad rebound further, global trade continues to pick up and businesses remain prudent in raising wages and investing in their platforms. The current global environment is driven and defined by technology and globalization that foster a highly competitive environment for a myriad of businesses which further necessitates cost containment.
With that in mind we would expect that companies repatriating earnings and benefiting from a reduction in taxes will likely apply these benefits across a number of areas including buybacks, dividend hikes and some capex (investment in their operations).
Our expectations are for the Federal Reserve to remain on course with its current program to normalize interest rates at a measured and modest pace sensitive to the economy's momentum. Last Friday's non-farm payroll number and the release of the hourly wage growth number (see page 4 of this report for details) suggest to us that inflation remains under control allowing the Fed to let the economy reflate while not having to worry about it "overheating."
We believe that cross border diversification of equity portfolios should remain a purposeful goal for investors as economic recoveries and nascent expansions abroad continue to take shape and gain further momentum. We continue to recommend diversification across the regions of the world with equity exposure to developed international, emerging and frontier markets. (See page 8 for our asset allocation model).
In the week ahead investors will have plenty of scheduled announcements to follow including the start of Q4 earnings season which kicks off Friday when a number of large cap banks and financial services companies report results.
Ahead of earnings at the end of the week look for news from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas starting Tuesday, Producer Prices for December on Thursday and the CPI (Consumer Price Index) for December on Friday.

Professional Website Design Solutions
In today's society the internet is key way to market to individuals about your goods and services. Every day the internet is growing, it is said that only about 55% of all small business currently have websites. I talk to business owners every day that have been in business for 10 or more years and still feel there is no need for the internet in the way they do business. They are still relying on print advertising and Radio to bring in new customers. That is a way to advertise and I will tell you that if someone hears your name on the radio or sees your name in print, when they do go to look you up where do they go? Yes of course the Internet. Now what if the customer cannot find you or your phone number in the first minute or two. What do you think they are seeing while they are looking for you? Of course your competitors.
You may find out without a strong internet presence, you may not be getting the full benefit of your advertising.
When developing your brand you have to focus on your customer and what you want your customer to do on your site. So your web page needs to answer these questions:
- Has to be clear on your topic?
- Why they came to the website?
- How did you get them to the site?
- Was it easy to find what they are looking for?
- Did we educate them on your product or service? (what makes your product better)
- Was there a clear path to Actionable? (did they call, did they buy)
- Did you ask for their information? (important for email marketing)
- The list goes on…..
Your website needs to do all these things and more. These are some of the basics
Think of it like this, since every customer is judging your business or by your website. If you had to go for an interview would you rather go to an interview in pair of jeans and t-shirt or are you more likely to get the job in a suit. Websites is your online business card, what do you want to it to say about your business? (websites can be built at home by most school-age children) is that what you want to entrust the success of your business. Using a professional website design service is key to developing a customer from shopper to online buyer. Web sites can help with converting that lead into long-term customer. People rely on websites to not only validate businesses, But also provides helpful information about that industry of that business.
How the search engine plays in.
Today's websites have to be responsive to many different formats that it will be viewed on Mac, PC , Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge/internet explorer and Safari the list goes on. Recent information released by Google suggests that almost half of all searches on the web are done on handheld devices. With that many searches they stated that they will not review or rank a website that does not have a responsive format or is mobile friendly. There is more items including to even how long your domain is registered. Your web designer keeps tracks of all this information that is needed to be built on the site.

We spent the morning painting, and as usual you surprised me, mixing colors without fear or regret, adding in sparkles and shaving cream and anything else I would let you get away with. You wanted to experience art to the limits, and I loved it. It was as if you grew up in this wacky house, where we have always done crazy things together and called them creativity.
After long hours of creating, we go to a birthday lunch with friends and you sit patiently through it all and when we get home you are so HAPPY that it is mommy time again. And you climb on the counter and take down all the little tea cups scattered amongst the glasses and we find a little tea pot and all on your own you initiate our very first tea party together. We drink water together, pretending its "cha" (tea) and you clink glasses with me and you say that Chinese word that means "bottoms up" and you laugh. And there is so much joy all over you, that I cannot say no, and while laundry waits and other children call, and crumbs cover the floors, I drink more and more water/cha with you at the messy kitchen counter, just to see your eyes sparkle, simply to hear you laugh.
And when it's almost bedtime, I realize that is has gotten later than I realize and you are still awake. It is time for me to go pick up your daddy from school. And instead of being sound asleep, easily watched by big brother and sister, you are still awake enough to notice me go. So I tell you that you and I, we have to go out. We have to go get Baba. And you, you look at me with that quiet authority and you say "no" in the the third tone, the way you do, question-like. Your voice a "u" in the air. But you do not say it like a question, you say it like a decision. And I tell you again, in my quiet firm way, that we must go, you and I. It is then that you tell me you plan: that big sister will be my helper to go and get baba. That you, you and big brother will stay home and wait for us. And it is with astonishment that I realize you are campaigning for us to be apart. That moment has come, the moment I have thought was still long off, when you are ready for me to walk out the door without you.
Jie Jie (big sister) is willing to watch you, so I give you bedtime books to read together and you say "nite-nite" and you kiss me and you run into sister's room – which you love. And I begin to walk out the door, all of my heart longing to still be needed, and also, overjoyed that I no longer am, so much. And it is then that you run after me, your heart leaping out of your body, and jump into my arms, and shower me with kisses, and say, in your inimitable commanding, yet humorous way: "hurry up!! Hurry and drive the car fast and come home! Vroom Vroom!" And I will never forget the look in your eyes: confidence, security, joy, love, fearlessness, hope, expectation, safety . . . .all of these and more.
Us mothers, we lay down our lives so that you will no longer need us, so that you will take wing and soar, so that you will walk away and not need to look back. But when you do, it breaks and makes us all at once. I cried as I walked to the car alone tonight – I did not expect you to become independent so soon. And I cried because I dreamed that you would be this brave, this strong, this ready for the world. And God whispered to me, "she'll need you forever, you'll see."
And today was your three week anniversary in our family. And today, on day 21, you and I, we inhabited separate geography for the first time in those three weeks, but as we did all our lives before. And yet not at all the same. Tonight I stepped away for a few minutes from a girl that I would not have recognized three weeks ago. You've already come so far. I can't wait to know you more my Ava. We may not always be together, hand in hand, side by side. But our spirits can never be apart – you are here like glue, baby girl. Part of us always. And that makes moments apart oh-so-safe.
I'm so glad you know that too.

INDEPENDENCE -- The Nov. 5 special election has some far-reaching public safety implications for Monmouth and Independence residents.On top of the four-year Polk County public safety levy, Measure 27-109, (see related story on page 1A) , a five-year operating levy, Measure 27-110, from Polk County Fire District No. 1 awaits voters on their recently mailed out ballots.With the 2010 expiration of the last levy from Polk Fire No. 1, costs for equipment, apparatus and payroll have shot up, with no extra funding coming in."We have cut out our apparatus replacement fund, we haven't put any additional money into it," said Neal Olson, training and operations division chief. "We've kind of let our reserve -- our carry over -- dwindle over the last few years. We've been operating in a deficit the last several years."Both the county and fire levies ask for a 60 cents per $1,000 of assessed value property tax increase.With the police bond measure passed in May and taking effect when the library bond expires, this equates to a $1.71 per $1,000 increase to Monmouth residents' property tax rates, if both measures pass.Independence residents would see a $2.52 per $1,000 tax rate increase if both measure pass.The still in effect library bond and the debt refinancing bond passed in May make up more than half, $1.32, of the new rate.The previous levy from Polk Fire No. 1 weighed in at 77 cents per $1,000 with the idea that it could diminish over time.The new levy, however, will remain at a flat 60 cents over the five year span, bringing the district at least $648,000 each year."Sixty cents right now will keep us where we are," Olson said. "We'll add some new folks, but that doesn't really bring anything else up."With the passing of the levy, Polk Fire No. 1 would be able to bring in extra part-time personnel and make much needed repairs on an out-of-service fire engine.Funding from the levy won't come to the district until November 2014.In the mean time, administrators have set aside one-third of their budget -- roughly $300,000 -- to carry over until the new funding would kick in.This operating levy is the third time Polk Fire No. 1 has come to the voters since Olson came on board in 1997."As a citizen, for me to pay more to maintain services or improve services, I'm willing to do that," Olson said. "It doesn't bother me. I understand not wanting to pay more taxes but people need to realize that without adequate funding, there are services that are naturally going to decline."With all of the things the levy will do for Polk Fire No. 1, the one thing it won't do is give a raise for full-time staff because of the current union contract.Olson and other firefighters at Polk Fire No. 1 have seen little opposition so far to the levy, unlike the 2005 measure.The more negative response then was due to lack of information and education on the district's part, Olson said.Aside from funding issues, one of the looming problems at Polk Fire No. 1 is the low volunteer response during the day.That is something Olson hopes to mitigate with the passing of the levy."We're looking at ways to fund and augment that daytime response," Olson said. "Our apparatus do no good if we have nobody to get on them. That's why staffing is the most important." Measure 27-110 What: Polk County Fire District No. 1 operating levy Cost: The levy will excise a 60 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value for five years. Does this affect me: Polk Fire No. 1 covers 185 square miles in southeast Polk County and Western Marion County. Monmouth, Independence, Buena Vista, Suver, Airlie and Pedee residents comprise the cities and communities served by Polk Fire No. 1.

Check distributor stock levels by entering in full or partial part numbers
UL 943 Standard applies to Class A, single- and three-phase, Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupters (GFCI) intended for protection of personnel, for use only in grounded
neutral systems in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA
70, the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1 (CEC), and Electrical Installations (Use),
NOM-001-SEDE. These devices are intended for use on alternating current (AC)
circuits of 120 V, 208Y/120 V, 120/240 V, 127 V, or 220Y/127 V, 60 Hz circuits.
UL 943C requirements cover ground-fault circuit-interrupters intended for use in
one of the following applications:
UL 943C, Special Purpose Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (SPGFCIs), was
introduced to address the two limitations of Class A GFCIs (defined by UL 943) that
prohibited their use in many industrial applications. Namely, the system voltage
limitation to a maximum of 240 V and a maximum allowed leakage current of 6
mA. UL 943C defines three GFCI Classes: Classes C, D, and E. These new Classes
are rated up to 600 V, with a trip level of 20 mA. In addition, UL 943C requires the
device to monitor the continuity of the ground wire and interrupt power to the load
if ground integrity is lost.
Class A – A GFCI that will interrupt the circuit to the load when the ground-fault
current is 6 mA or more but not when the ground-fault current is 4 mA or less and
is intended to be used in circuits where the line-to-line voltage is 240 V or less.
Class B – A GFCI that will interrupt the circuit to the load when the ground-fault
current exceeds 20 mA. Only used with swimming pool underwater lighting
fixtures that were installed prior to local adoption of the 1965 edition of the NEC.
Class B GFCI is obsolete.
Class C – A GFCI that will interrupt the circuit to the load when the ground-fault
current is 20 mA or more and is intended to be used in circuits with no conductor
over 300 V to ground (i.e. systems where line-to-line voltage is 480 V or less)
where reliable equipment grounding or double insulation is provided.
Class D – A GFCI that will interrupt the circuit to the load when the ground-fault
current is 20 mA or more and is intended to be used in circuits with one or more
conductors over 300 V to ground (i.e. 600 V systems), and with specially sized,
reliable grounding, to provide a low impedance path so that the voltage across
the body during a fault does not exceed 150 V.
Class E – A GFCI that will interrupt the circuit to the load when the ground-fault
current is 20 mA or more and is intended to be used in circuits with one or more
conductors over 300 volts to ground (i.e. 600 V systems) but with conventional
equipment grounding provided for the protected equipment in the system or
double insulation. These GFCIs respond rapidly to open the circuit before the
magnitude and duration of the current flowing through the person's body exceeds
the limits for ventricular fibrillation.
SB6100 is available in two models: Special-Purpose Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(SPGFCI) and Equipment Ground-Fault Protection Device (EGFPD). SB6100 – SPGFCI
is a UL 943C listed device for personnel protection, while SB6100 – EGFPD is
an equipment protection device that is tested to both UL 943 and UL 1053. Both
devices implement additional safety features for superior protection.
SB6100 detects leakage current and interrupts the circuit significantly reducing
or eliminating the shock potential. One key part of the additional safety features
mentioned earlier, is that the SB6100 also monitors the ground wire from the
SB6100 to the load for continuity. If the wire is broken or becomes loose, the
SB6100 will signal an alarm and interrupt power.
SB6100 - EGFPD is exactly the same as SB6100 – SPGFCI except that it has variable
setpoints (6, 10-100 mA in increments of 10 mA) to provide flexibility and to reduce
nuisance tripping in systems with leakage current higher than the fixed 20 mA
(SB6100 - SPGFCI setpoint is fixed at 20mA), and the load-ground monitoring is
optional (the use of a termination device is not required).
Two options for enclosures are available: UL-recognized open-chassis models
for installation in an existing electrical enclosure (for example, MCCs or
switchgears) and UL-listed NEMA-4X enclosed models for stand-alone
installations. A mobile version is also available.

Nova Scotia extends deadline again to find buyer for former wind plant
Published Wednesday, June 13, 2018 3:54PM ADT
Last Updated Wednesday, June 13, 2018 5:59PM ADT
HALIFAX -- A deadline to find a buyer for one of Atlantic Canada's largest industrial sites is likely being extended again by the Nova Scotia government, the province's business minister said Wednesday.
Geoff MacLellan said a deadline that was already pushed back twice would be extended again because two or three new parties have expressed an interest in the former DSME wind plant in Trenton over the last couple of weeks.
"Nothing has been solidified yet," said MacLellan. "No initial bids for the upfront deposit that has to be made, so there is nothing definitive yet."
The latest deadline was set for the end of this month, but MacLellan now says it will run out when the province's operating budget for the site runs out.
In an email, the department said the estimated cash remaining with the site in receivership is $300,000.
MacLellan released no other details, and isn't saying at this point where the interest is coming from.
The previous NDP government took a 49 per cent equity stake in the plant in 2010, committing $59.4 million to a business that was eventually closed in February 2016 and placed in receivership.
"The fact that there is new interest gives us some hope," MacLellan said.
He said the possibility the property could be turned over to Nova Scotia Lands for development is also "still on the table."
The 430,000-square-foot facility sits on 116 acres of land in the heart of Trenton and in another incarnation was the TrentonWorks rail car plant.

After months of feverish build-up, the eyes of the world will be trained on Russia's capital Moscow on Thursday afternoon as the 21st FIFA World Cup gets underway.
32 nations from every part of the globe will compete over 64 matches to determine which will hold aloft the famous trophy at the Luzhniki Stadium on July 15.
Hundreds of thousands of fans are descending on Russia and those attending Thursday's opening fixture between the host nation and Saudi Arabia are gathering in Moscow.

But for all the new stuff, the usual suspects remain favourites to win the trophy next month.
Germany are bidding to become the first nation since Brazil back in 1962 to retain the World Cup, but they will face stiff competition from the likes of France, Spain, Brazil and Argentina.

Posted August 18, 2010on:
We made this once before, about a year and a half ago right after moving into our house. The first time, I don't think any of us liked it, but maybe my taste buds have changed a little since then. The first time we made it, we rented the movie Ratatouille, and had ratatouille for supper 🙂 Despite the cuteness of the idea, it didn't go over well. I still don't think the kids liked it, but it was much better.
I got the recipe from our CSA newsletter – it looks like it came from the Moosewood Cookbook.
3 T olive oil
2 c chopped onion (I used 2 fresh onions, from the farm)
1 medium eggplant (I used both of the smaller ones we got from the CSA)
1 1/2 t basil (fresh from the farm!)
1/2 t rosemary (dried from the farm)
1 medium zucchini, cubed (again, from the farm)
parsley (dried from the farm)
4 cloves garlic (fresh from the farm!)
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 t salt
1 t marjoram or oregano (dried from the farm)
1/2 t thyme (dried from the farm)
2 medium bell peppers in strips (but I just chopped them – also from the farm!)
1 can tomatoes (or, as in the newsletter: "that's crazy – use fresh" – I love my CSA!)
Heat the oil in a skillet, add garlic, onion, bay leaf and saute. Add eggplant, remaining seasonings, stir, cook for about 15-20 minutes or until eggplant is soft. Add remaining ingredients, cover and simmer until done.
I have to say, using all fresh ingredients (there was very little that I did not have directly from our CSA farm) made a HUGE difference in this recipe. I can't say enough about the aroma and even the taste of the fresh garlic – it was amazing!

Your Turn: June 10
Krushchev right
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev is said to have proclaimed, "We will take America without firing a shot."
There is no question that Russia interfered with our elections to give Donald Trump an advantage. There is little doubt that Trump colluded with the Russians. Why else would the pathological lying Trump show absolutely no interest in assuring the nation it doesn't happen again? Why is he so intent in discrediting our justice system, the CIA and the FBI? Khrushchev was right.
Writing letters to the editor has become a difficult task. I started out to write about the abhorrent way a White House staffer disrespected Arizona Sen. John McCain, saying his opinion didn't matter because "he's dying anyway." But at least 10 more outrageous presidential tweets have surfaced since then.
The Trump administration dwarfs that of Warren G. Harding in blatant corruption, lies and infinite idiocy.
Joe M. Velasquez
What you voted for
If you voted for President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, you are likely thrilled with their recent selfish actions.
Among them: Trump's bellicose words and deeds toward Iran and his foolish action of moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. His on-again, off-again military threats toward North Korea. Trump's war-favoring deeds in cooperation with Saudi Arabia against Yemen — instead of negotiations.
Here in the United States, his new attacks on women's choice and reproductive health, plus the removal of various environmental protections. And, right here in Texas, joining almost 30 other states in trying to remove Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals from the United States.
Quite the actions in the past few weeks. But, again, if you backed the president and governor, you are satisfied, perhaps even thrilled.
I am not. I am sad. I am disappointed. But I will speak for justice and compassion until my demise!
But if you didn't vote for Trump and Abbott — either by participating in or sitting out the two elections — and you are distressed with the two men and their policies, vote them out when elections occur.
Eugene Novogrodsky, Brownsville
Oil promises
In the past few months, the Express-News has informed us of various oil companies making record profits; of new, more economical fracturing methods requiring less manpower to extract oil from the fields; of the administration opening up our national parks for oil drilling; of the filled oil storage tanks along the Gulf Coast awaiting exportation to other countries; and, most recently, of the sale of surplus oil to Mexico.
What baffles me is that despite this apparent oil glut in the U.S., the American people are not getting the benefit. The Republicans bashed former President Barack Obama, who felt taking these moves were detrimental for America. Despite the current administration enforcing its wishes, the price of gasoline at the pump has almost doubled in the last year.
Obviously, President Donald Trump's idea of "helping Americans" is by helping the oil companies get richer!
Rick Garcia
Bring back …
I watch the news and read the paper everyday, and it seems like this country is going down the tubes. I laid in bed and started pondering what has changed over the years since I grew up.
I believe some of the changes are the following: Bring back the draft. School districts need to bring back corporal punishment and use it at all public schools on a daily basis. Set out stringent rules for schools, including bullying and all incidents that happen on campus, and enforce them across the board. Do away with alternative schools (money saved), expel the students and fine the parents when a child acts out at school and doesn't follow the rules.
Kids today do not have any consequences for their actions. Make the parents sign a paper that they agree with the new policies and they cannot sue the district if the district follows the policies. If the parent won't sign or doesn't like the new rules, their kids should not be able to go to a public school. Bring back clothing and grooming standards. And no phones until the child reaches high school.
These are just a few ideas that we should bring back to gain control of our kids. The gun issue is not the problem. Our problem is the way we handle our children with kid gloves and also the way the parents are raising their children. The kids have nothing to fear because they know nothing will happen to them. If these don't change soon there will be no turning back.
Marv Cannon
Men will be men
It is getting increasingly humorous, in a depressing sort of way, to watch the mainly male, rich and famous get ousted from the human race over claims of sexual misbehavior.
While the apparent extortions perpetrated by Harvey Weinstein are arguably sufficient for the ouster, Morgan Freeman's sudden fall from grace over coarse comments are laughable.
Men are, well, men, and we occasionally let our mouths get ahead of our brains regarding whatever happens to be on our minds, which is often sex — which is actually programmed into our very DNA. It's one of many characteristics that assures our very survival. Without it, there would be no us!
While Freeman's less than socially acceptable language was out of line and deserving of rebuke, it is ludicrous to heap so much attention and scorn on him for being, well, a man. That being said, the fact Freeman is a liberal Democrat — now that is certainly deserving of endless heaps of scorn and removal from the human race.

The debut single 'My Pal" by Melbourne youngsters GOD was released in 1987 on the Au-Go-Go label out of Melbourne.Written by the band's vocalist Joel Silbersher when he was just 15 years old, it has since gained the reputation of a punk rock classic, and often referenced as a defining track in Australian underground music by critics and artists alike. Dinosaur Jr, on the final show of their recent Australian 2017 tour invited Joel Silbersher on stage to do a face melting rendition of the song.
The interesting thing about this track is that it predated what would later be refered to as Grunge. These young tear aways were the real deal which is what gives 'My Pal' it's sense of authenticity. Critics love to lament over great teenage anthems but this is no Undertones or Buzzcocks tribute, it stands alone as a rollicking statement of isolation and angst, the kind of gem that only comes a long once in a while, luckily captured to wax to enjoy for prosperity.
The song revolves around a descending guitar riff, that stamps itself on your brain. The song lyrics whilst simple and minimal 'you're my only friend and you don't even like me' are confronting and relatable at the same time' letting the listener have a peak into the dark side of the teenage psyche.
Legend has it the original single was financed by Joel's parents, in fact copies of the original press run of 500 have his parents residential address on the back cover, something they were none to pleased about,hence the label staff used a marker to black out the house number (I'm lucky enough to have this release and can confirm it is in fact the case).
The single was both a blessing and curse for the band, whist they produced a follow-up LP, they never really repeated the success and acclaim of their debut release. Band members went onto to well-regarded projects including 'Hoss' and the 'Powder Monkeys'. 'My Pal' remains as one of the greatest rock songs ever written, who would have though these ankle bitters from Melbourne would have been responsible.

This famous comic book, then film is one of the subjects in our child's school year-end dissertation about heroes.
Now, one plot enhancement in the movie just happens to be related with the main heritage in the school's history.
The movie adds Venice as a location (with Captain Nemo's huge Nautilus submarine ludicrously sailing along the town's canals, way out of its depths…) and mentions an international convention there. THe story is meant to take place in 1899.
It just turns out there was indeed an international (European, of course) convention in 1999, namely in Den Haag – The Hague.
Subject of that convention was legal treatment of war deeds including war crimes – establishing legal basis for international law courts and transitioning the last remnants of officiers' chivalry into international law.
One of the results was confirming the legal status of freedom fighters against occupying armies as soldiers – rather than rebels and traitors and criminals. WWII made that very relevant in Europe, and our child's school is one of the related consequences.
Small world, isn't it?

2 remarkable men of world cricket
For over a decade now, Indians have been ardently watching the Sachin-McGrath battles, writes Atul Sondhi.cricket Updated: May 06, 2007 21:44 IST
Tendulkar and McGrath, for years have enlivened the drawing rooms of most Indian and Australian homes. The two are considered the ultimate in competitiveness and finesse.
Though in ODIs, especially in the world cups, McGrath usually had the better of Tendulkar, which stifled, India's fighting instincts from the very beginning, and battles in Tests turned out to be quite different.
Those classic encounters between the two saw the balance of power shifting like a pendulum, with both the gladiators having a measure of each other in the end. Probably when McGrath called it 55-45 in his favour in a TV interview, he had the edge in ODIs in his mind, while in Tests, Sachin retuned fire by fire, playing some tremendous innings.
In fact, in the four series where both, among the most dominating players of their era, played, Sachin Tendulkar's reply kept on becoming better and better with each series save the last one when injuries allowed him to play only in two Tests.
Sachin against Australia in series of three or more Tests (with Mcgrath in the side)
Melbourne's 116
The first Test battle between Sachin and McGrath was fought in the one-off test at Delhi in October 1996, and McGrath had the better of Sachin, albeit in a lost cause. The Indian blaster ended up making just 10 runs in two innings, and was castled by McGrath for a duck in the second.
However, in the first full-fledged series in Australia against McGrath and company in 1999-2000, Tendulkar, burdened with captaincy, did shine briefly scoring 116 and 52 against a formidable attack. What else will you call the foursome of Lee, Warne, McGrath and Fleming?
It was a very calculated assault in the first innings where Tendulkar completely curbed his all out aggressive style and his strike-rate was just 60. But it was natural considering India were replying to a good Australian score of 405 and Tendulkar's score eventually turned out to be nine runs more than the rest of the Indian batsmen combined.
It was his first convincing innings against McGrath and company in his fifth try and that give an indication of the shape of things to come.
Tendulkar sparkles in Mumbai and Chennai
The first innings at Mumbai in 2001 series, when Tendulkar scored 76 as against rest of the batsmen's 93 in a total of 176, showed his ability to stand among ruins against an attack spearheaded by McGrath and Warne, with Gillespie and Fleming as supporting cast.
Again he sparkled with 65 runs in the second innings before a brilliant diving catch by Ricky Ponting off the bowling of Mark Waugh that ended the Indian's resistance.
However, the real superlative effort came in the first innings of the final Test at Chennai. After a remarkable victory at Kolkata, the whole of Indian side was buoyed and it found reflection in Tendulkar's efforts as well.
Das, Ramesh, Dravid and Laxman chipped in with competitive half-centuries but it was Tendulkar's carefully compiled 126 which helped India past Australian first innings total of 391.
In the end, that 110 run first innings lead, thanks to Tendulkar's century, proved too much for the Australians. That was the contribution of the genius to India's series win against McGrath's army.
Sensational at Sydney
The series in Australia in 2003-04 saw a disappointing Tendulkar in the first five innings, totalling just 82. But the little master more than compensated for it by hitting a tremendous double century at Sydney. Who can forget his 353 runs partnership with Laxman, coming in less than seven hours, which almost spoiled Steve Waugh's farewell party.
His unbeaten knock of 241 was one of the best in his career. A knock where he eschewed most of his attacking instincts to take India too the doorsteps of what could have been a most memorable series victory.
Probably, these are the knocks played by Sachin against his bowling, which forced Glenn McGrath to say ''he enjoyed every minute of his battles with Sachin Tendulkar and hopefully ''Sachin enjoyed every now and then too.''
However, the Pigeon will also do well to remember that the edge would have been 55-45 in Sachin's favour if he was not having the company of other top pros like Lee, Gillespie and Warne in some of the battles.

"One And Many" Series
Contributed by Clark Tanner on May 8, 2003 (message contributor)
Summary: We are one and united in Him, yet we are many, each gifted according to grace (#12 in the Unfathomable Love of Christ series)
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift."
According to the musical group, "Three Dog Night", 'one is the loneliest number'. Well, if numbers can be lonely then I guess that's stating the obvious, huh? I suppose what they meant was if you have a lover you're two, but if you don't you're one, and that's lonely.
Which is also stating the obvious.
Quite contrary to the world's thinking however, oneness in and of all things is God's goal in the plan of salvation. At the end of Ephesians 1 and the last verse of Philippians 3 there are references to Him ultimately subjecting all things to Himself.
It is easy for us to slip into error when thinking about unity and think of it as uniformity. Some number of things that are grouped together and look exactly the same with no differences at all. Like a box of nails or a row of buttons on a shirt.
But that is not at all what unity is in Christ. In fact, while making us one, united, by the same process He also makes us more of an individual than we ever could be apart from His Spirit.
Throughout the New Testament we see a number of analogies to define the church. The Bride of Christ, the family of God, sheep, branches; but probably the most poignant and powerful is the reference to us as Christ's body. Paul uses this analogy several times; Romans 12, I Corinthians 10 and 12, Colossians 1, and of course, here in our text.
This reference lends itself to some very clear and understandable pictures of our place in Him and our connection to one another, and our intended function as a whole.
We've all heard sermons, I'm sure, on the importance of every part. Some are hands and some are toes. But all are important. If you stub your toe or slam your thumb with a hammer, you don't just shrug it off and go on ~ you whine and run for help and pamper that part until the pain subsides.
If a body part is severed it no longer serves the body. It rots. Etc, etc.
So I'll try to steer clear of all those graphic mind-pictures today and not burden you with them again. Let's just talk about the concept of oneness that the analogy provides.
Notice here in verses 4 - 6, Paul is laying out the basics of the Christian faith that unite us all, despite our denominational distinctives.
Fortunately, when Paul wrote, there was only The Way. The disciples of Jesus all over, who as yet had no major differences to cause contention. No one knew that they weren't supposed to speak in tongues. No one had been told that there was any other way to baptize than immersion. There had been no carpet installations to split over, no one had drawn up any dress codes for morning worship, and there were no parsonages to put used furniture in. So he didn't have to address himself to the issues that divide us today.
And what he did have to say, still applies. The true church, we have all agreed in the past, and I know we still do, does not exist within the boundaries of one denomination or one group of churches.
The church of Jesus Christ is comprised of all believers everywhere, from the very first convert to the last, whenever and wherever that may take place.
Notice I did not say 'all churchgoers'. I said all believers, and by that I mean all who come under the designation of 'called ones', or 'holy ones', in New Testament teaching.
So there are Christians in every church denomination that sets forth the fundamentals of the Christian faith laid out for us in I Corinthians 15:1-4, that Jesus was crucified according to the scriptures, buried, and that He rose on the third day according to the scriptures; and the promise of Romans 10:9-11 concerning faith from the heart and confession from the mouth regarding those fundamental truths.
J. Vernon Magee once estimated that about 75% of church members are not saved. I don't know how he came up with that number; but Billy Graham once said that about 80% of people who respond to his altar calls are already on local church membership lists. That is traceable, because at those crusades they have people who come down to the front fill out information cards that they then share with local pastors so follow-up can be done.
