HVAC system design and installation has exciting potential integration of Industry 4.0.
40% of the UK’s energy consumption and carbon emissions come from the way our buildings are lit, heated and used. Even comparatively small changes in energy performance and the way we use each building will have a significant effect in reducing total energy consumption.*
Whilst there has been much debate and differing methods of regulating building energy use over the past few years, making commercial properties as energy efficient as possible is an important consideration when analysing the above statistic.
Energy efficiency plays an intrinsic role in the justification and proposal process for the replacement of old and inefficient HVAC systems.
Important for facilities managers to consider is the long term cost saving benefits of upgrading an outdated HVAC system. Whilst there is an initial financial outlay with regards to system design and installation, energy efficiency reduces overall consumption thus, lowering expenditure over a period of time. The installation will effectively pay for itself.
Not to be overlooked is how energy-saving benefits can add gravitas and credibility to organisational Corporate Social Responsibility obligations. The FM industry has a duty of care towards operating in both an ethical as well as environmentally friendly manner.
Exciting too, is the potential integration of Industry 4.0, smart application and IoT technology within energy-saving system design and install. Evolving at a rapid pace and far greater than the first digital wave, efficiency gains are set to be even more substantial in the near future.

Proposal puts police substation on school grounds
Hunters Creek police presence
Proposal puts substation on school grounds
Published 6:30 am, Thursday, February 5, 2004
The Memorial Villages Police Department's proposal to construct a substation on the grounds of Hunters Creek Elementary, 10650 Beinhorn, is a result of a 2002 study conducted by a professor of criminal justice at Sam Houston State University, who was hired by the police department.
The study, prompted by a rise in crime in the area, said there was a need for a substation based on input from residents of all three villages, crime statistics, policing activities and crime prevention measures.
Police Chief Gary Brye said in 2002 the City of Hunters Creek Village had a significant rise in crime from the previous year.
Hunters Creek Mayor Steve Reichek said it is a good idea to have a presence in the area because burglaries and car break-ins are occurring almost on a monthly basis.
He also said officers using the substation might help out with congestion during school drop-off and pick-up.
Mike Maloney, the district's associate superintendent for facilities, transportation and support, said the proposal is to go before the Spring Branch school district's facilities committee on Tuesday. The committee, which includes school district trustees Wayne Schaper, Barbara Larson and Bill Haglund, will decide if they want to go ahead with the project, and have it go before the school board.
The department, which polices Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill and Piney Point villages, wants to build a small, single office structure on school property at the corner of Beinhorn and Flint River.
The building would not house a holding facility, as the holding facility is in police headquarters in Bunker Hill.
Brye said having a substation for use by officers patrolling Hunters Creek Village, would bring them closer to the community. He said the school was an obvious choice because it is centrally located, has easy access and is a natural congregation area.
"Our main goal is to keep the officers out in the community as much as possible and give them a location and the tools to do their job,"he said.
The department has budgeted $25,000 for the facility. It would be about three miles from police headquarters, 11981 Memorial Drive, in Bunker Hill.
Brye said the officers assigned to patrol Hunters Creek will use the substation as a base to fill out reports, do other office work, make calls and meet with residents, and it would not be manned on a continuous basis.
Four- to six officers patrol the villages during a 24-hour period. One officer is assigned to each village, while the others float between them, depending on need.
Maloney said the school would lose at least three parking spaces, and there would be insurance and logistics issues to work out.
Brye said he approached the school district last year about the possibility of putting a substation at the school.
He said they haven't explored other options for a location because they have not had any negative feedback.
Should the district approve the facility, which would be the first of its kind in the district, Brye said construction would start in the summer and be completed by the start of the school year in August.
"Our goal is to get all levels of approval done," he said.

The month of February is nationally recognized as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. When it comes to teen dating violence and sexual abuse within dating relationships, technology can be a often used tool in dating abuse. Sexual harassment after a bitter breakup has always existed in the schools but now post-breakup sexual harassment has jumped the physical barrier and has become an epidemic on social media websites. This harassment goes by multiple names: cyber bullying, social sexual shaming, cyber gender harassment, and even terms as graphic and demeaning as “revenge porn.”
Post-breakup cyber gender harassment is when a spurned “ex” posts graphic pictures and/or video of a former partner on the internet through websites like: Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and even hardcore porn websites, often times with full names, phone numbers, addresses, and explicit, malicious, and/or threatening comments. In a recent interview with NPR’s Tom Ashbrook, Temitayo Fagbenle, a teen victim and reporter of “sexual shaming” describes how teens get away with posting these images:
It mostly happens at night because… because, I mean, people don’t want to get caught so they usually put it up at night and then they remove it afterwards, and that is what usually happens. It’s put up and then it’s removed and it’s kind of untraceable.
The Stalking Resource Center, a branch of the National Center for Victims of Crimes, reports that 60% of online harassment cases are between male attackers and female victims. Now that we realize this is happening, we must ask, “why is this happening?” Why do young men believe they have the right to post intimate pictures of their former girlfriends on social media? One reason young men do this is to gain or maintain a reputation as a “player” or as someone who is highly sexually active. Promiscuity in males has never been as discouraged or scandalous as it has been with females who have been with multiple partners. Even during puberty, males who physically mature earlier than average are often rewarded by being called men and are seen as highly masculine in the eyes of their peers. Whereas females who physically mature earlier than the average young woman are often belittled and labeled as promiscuous by both her male and female peers.
The second reason young men are participating in “cyber sexual shaming” is exactly for the reason of the name: to shame the partner that broke up with them. Posting an incredibly private picture on Facebook, or any other website, is a way to bring social shame upon the victim. Both male and female peers leave malicious comments on the posts, people at school harass the victim face-to-face, later in life the victim may not be able to get jobs or keep jobs due to these images, adults blame the victim for the photo in the first place. Shame rains down upon the victim from all sides and because it is on the internet it will never go away. When she is an adult she will still have people (or employers) confront her about the image. She has no control over who views the photo, may save it to their hard drive, and repost it somewhere else. Very quickly, that one photo can go “viral,” be seen by millions of people, and none of it was consensual. Most girls were not even aware their partner was taking a video or photo.
Sexual cyber bullying can have many harmful effects on a teenager. Many teens begin to miss school or skip classes so they do not have to face their peers or they are afraid for their safety. Their grades can begin to suffer. Some students are removed from school and enrolled in a new one but because the image is public the bullying often follows the student to the new school. Some students eventually drop out of school, never finishing their education. Students can develop depression, anxiety, drug addiction, eating disorders and/or other mental health issues. Hate crime, rape, and suicide can also be effects of Sexual cyber shaming. Many victims will deal with the repercussions of the posted image for the rest of their lives. But there is hope!
Many state domestic violence/sexual assault coalitions are in conversations with law enforcement and the courts to push legislation through to help prosecute perpetrators of sexual cyber harassment. Local domestic violence/sexual assault agencies are providing trainings for parents, teachers, and administrators about the effects and dangers of cyber bullying as well as providing education for students on how to be safe. Schools are facing the issue of bullying and harassment on campuses head on, promoting bully free zones and strict policies for offenders. Victims can now get services from community resources like counseling and group therapy.
So what do we, as a community, do to help prevent this from happening to our children? The first thing is to teach young males this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Studies show that males need to learn the proper way to treat a woman with respect at an early age. Adult perpetrators of domestic violence often observed domestic violence in their homes as children. Fathers are the major role models males observe to learn how to be masculine and how to treat others (especially behaviors in relationships with females). To learn more about the positive role men can have in ending domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and rape please visit: A Call to Men
Secondly, parents can learn about how to help keep their children safe when they are on the internet and how to help their children if cyber bullying happens. Parents become the first line of prevention when they sit down and have conversations with their children about cyber bullying and teach their children to not participate in bullying of any kind. Here is a resource for parents on cyber bullying: Protect Your Kids
Thirdly schools can educate students on cyber bullying and create no-tolerance bullying policies. If schools become vigilant about talking to students about this issue, eventually students will begin to understand the seriousness of this problem and the effects it can have. Teachers can make sure when students are given opportunities to access computers, students are blocked from social media websites and teachers are monitoring student’s activities closely. Schools also can also make sure their campuses are safe places for students who are victims and have services for those students.
Lastly the community can have a hugely positive impact on a person’s life when they do not blame a victim for her/his abuse but instead, support the victim to reclaim power over their lives. When our community sees cyber gender harassment as the serious problem it is we can grow towards building a safer community.

Baku, Azerbaijan, March 14
By Ali Mustafayev – Trend:
Belarus is working on the development of a trade route in the direction of Germany-Belarus-China, Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Boleslav Pirshtuk said.
He made the remarks at the “International Conference on the role of parliamentarians in boosting economic cooperation and cultural ties along the Silk Road”, organized by the Silk Road Support Group of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Baku.
“Our goal is to create a green transport corridor Nuremberg-Minsk-Urumqi. This route is already an object of interest of a number of countries and will facilitate the transportation of goods for China and Germany, as well as expand the transit potential of Belarus,” Pirshtuk said.
He noted that transit of goods is the most important resource of the country’s economy.
“About 100 million tons of goods are transported through Belarus each year, which does not correspond to half of the real carrying capacity of the Belarusian railways,” the deputy chairman added.
Belarus is one of the first countries that supported China’s initiative to form the Silk Road route, which will serve the development of a wide range of sectors of the Silk Road countries, and in particular Belarus, including agriculture, technology, energy spheres, Pirshtuk added.
“One of the key factors in the development of these sectors is the expansion of export potential, by connecting all the countries of the Silk Road to a single transport network,” the Belarusian official said.

Skiing is a popular activity for many families during the holiday break. However, when people hit the slopes, that sometimes means injury.
While medical staff near the ski area can deal with minor injuries, they may not be able to handle more serious cases. University Orthopedics’ Dr. Andrew Evans says in those cases, time is of the essence. In the below video, he explains why getting the proper care in a timely manner is vital – even if it means cutting your trip short.
Andrew Evans, M.D. is a member of the Orthopedic Trauma Division of the Department of Orthopaedics at Rhode Island Hospital.

Is an insufficient credit history or low credit score preventing you from qualifying for a loan or a decent interest rate?
If you use the traditional tactics, it may take you several months of responsible financial behavior to raise your credit score to a favorable level.
Thanks to Experian®, one of the three leading credit reporting agencies in the U.S., you don’t have to take that arduous route.
The tool, known as Experian Boost™. could raise the credit scores of millions of consumers, especially those that don’t have a significant borrowing history.
It allows users to grant permission to the credit reporting agency to connect their bank accounts and gain access to their telecommunication and utility payments in a bid to update their FICO® score in real time.
How Experian Boost™ Works
In addition to offering free credit reports, Experian wants to help people improve their scores. Here’s a quick breakdown of how Experian Boost can help you.
The Basics of Experian Boost
To begin with, you won’t pay a dime to use Experian Boost. It’s a free tool geared to help individuals struggling with building credit.
If you are looking to boost your credit using the tool, you will have to allow it to scan your bank account transactions to identify mobile phone and utility payments. The information extracted by the tool will be reflected in your Experian credit report and be utilized when calculating various credit scores.
It is worth noting that Experian Boost is only interested in positive payment history. It doesn’t consider defaulted payments.
So, you don’t have to worry about missed cell phone or utility payments hurting your credit score. Once Experian Boost has identified utility and telecommunication payments, you will need to verify the data and confirm that you want it added to your Experian credit file.
Afterward, you will receive an updated credit FICO Score in real time. The entire process takes about five minutes, boosting your credit score almost immediately.
Which Credit Scores Experian Boost Impacts
This tool works with the major credit scores that lenders use, namely:
- FICO 8
- FICO 9
- VantageScore 3
- VantageScore 4
However, if a lender uses credit reports from Transunion or Equifax to determine your eligibility for a loan or credit facility, Experian Boost won’t be of any help.
Also worthy of note is that Experian works with Finicity, a third-party firm that facilitates the transfer of data from consumers’ bank accounts to Experian’s credit report repository. You can get access to the tool by registering on Experian’s website.
Get started w/ Experian Boost
How Effective is Experian Boost™?
Experian Boost by the Numbers
Experian conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of Boost. Here were the findings:
- Two out of three: average scores improved
- 10%: number of consumers who previously had insufficient credit history became scoreable after using Experian Boost.
- 75%: percentage of consumers with FICO Scores below 680 who had their credit scores improved with Experian Boost
- 14%: percentage of consumers with a credit score of 579 and below who saw an improvement in their credit score to between 620 and 679.
- 5 to 15%: percentage who, depending on the credit level, moved into a better score category.
Experian Boost Results
These study findings serve to show that Experian Boost can boost your credit score, especially if you have a thin credit history. However, results may vary from one user to another.
While Boost calculates your score based on the FICO 8 model, a lender may use a different type of score to determine your eligibility for a credit facility.
Nonetheless, boosting that score could eliminate huge barriers for those looking to enhance their financial health. This tool is not only beneficial for consumers. It also helps lenders make more informed lending decisions after seeing consumers’ payment histories.

Can You Benefit from Experian Boost™?
Who Should Use Boost
According to Experian, Experian Boost would be ideal if you have less than five trade lines and with a credit score between 580 and 669.
However, any credit-active consumer can benefit from the score-boosting tool. In fact, at least 66 percent of consumers will see an improvement in their credit score after using Experian Boost.
Here are a few particular groups who should consider Experian Boost:
- Consumers with incomplete or subprime credit scores: These individuals can boost their score when applying for loans and lines of credit.
- Young adults: Those looking for credit/loans without much to show in terms of credit history, you will find Experian Boost exceptionally valuable.
- Responsible consumers: Those whose good financial habits aren’t reflected in their current credit report could be able to qualify for various credit and loan products.
How to Benefit from Experian Boost
To benefit from Experian Boost, you need to have an online bank account. You also need to allow Experian to scan it electronically. Experian will partner with a financial technology company, Finicity, to check bank statements for qualifying payments.
You should not worry about the security of your information. The system won’t alter your personal data as it uses read-only access. Also, keep in mind that you can revoke the permission granted to Experian at any time.
That means you are in total control and you can only grant access to your accounts only when you need to use Experian Boost.
Alternative to Experian Boost™
Another easy way to boost your credit score is through UltraFICO, which is also geared to help thin-file consumers.
How UltraFICO Works
By evaluating cash balances, UltraFICO is poised to help many consumers who otherwise don’t have, or are struggling to build, up credit. It is aimed at giving those who have no credit or insufficient credit the opportunity to build it by demonstrating they can manage their cash accounts.
Like Experian Boost, this platform also needs access to your bank account data to analyze your financial behavior.
UltraFICO doesn’t look at your telecom and utility payments. It looks at your savings balance and whether your checking account has overdrafts.
It is worth noting that this platform is being rolled on a smaller-scale pilot program first before it is fully launched in mid-2019. That means it could take a number of years for UltraFICO to be widely adopted by lenders.
Your credit score can have a significant impact on your financial health. It will determine whether you are eligible for a loan or credit product and the interest rate you will pay. With a low credit score, you may not be approved for a loan or credit product.
Experian Boost, developed by the credit reporting agency Experian, can help improve your score, particularly if you have not taken out substantial loans or had credit cards in your own name.
You will have to grant Experian permission to connect to your bank accounts and gain access to your telecom and utility payments. Then you can verify the data and confirm that you want it to be added to your Experian credit file. Afterward, you will receive an updated credit score in real time.
With an improved credit score, you will have a higher chance of getting approved for a credit card or loan and save some bucks, thanks to lower interest rates.

Way too much exposure! And why should one agency have the unilateral ability to adjust a credit score? It kinda shoots holes in the veracity of the numbers!
it made my score much worse. I applied for a credit card i “pre qualified” fo rthat they reccomended to me to improve the score and all it did was decline me and make me lose 17 point for a hard inquiry. I had good credit now its fair. thanks a lot
Can someone tell me how to delete a post from the board?
I lost my wallet with my credit card, social security card, Medicare card and other health insurance car,d,AAA card,driver’s license, and want to put out an alert if in case anyone finds those cards/information are found and used. Please advise what else I need to do to safeguard my credit/identity information..
Experian BOOST on line pages did take my bank account info., and scanned my utilities, but only used my comcast bill and and ONLY ONE UTILITY BILL. Ii TRIED TO COPY AND PASTE THE INFO FROM MY BANK STATEMENT, as, REQUIRED, BUT it did not take, and of course did not increase my score. I called your support dept, , asked why, and she said, it would have to be investigated, apparently it NEVER RESPONDED WHY, ETC., BUT DID STATE THAT THE INFO. I INPUT WAS OK. this is NOT WORKING FOR ME, BECAUSE WHERE I live our water, sewer, garbage P/U ARE ALL MANDATORY UTILITY PAYMENTS, THE COMPANIES ARE LISTED ON MY CHECKING ACCOUNT, but your system DID NOT USE THEM?? question— HOW AND WHERE AND WILL YOU FIX THIS??
this is a comment and request, PLEASE RESPOND!
This isn’t Experian’s site. Please contact them for assistance with your specific situation.
Tried to contact Experian Boost with no success. Kept on hold for over 30 mins on the phone. Try sending emails with no reply. My bank does not show up in there system and there is no way for me to contact them in order to resolve this problem.
Too bad there is no place to write a review. I would NEVER!!!! give you my bank account and PIN. If you were legit. then why would you ask me to?
tried it and website is really frustrating, it keeps going back to ordering a credit report and does not allow me to use the boost option. tried calling the number on the site and its one of those auto calls with no options that pertain to the boost program, frustration!!
HOW CAN I BOOST MY CREDIT SCORE. MY CREDIT SCORE IS 300
Is the Experian Boost connected to VENMO? If not, how was VENMO able to connect to someone’s bank account after the consumer connected their bank account to Experian Boost? VENMO allegedly debited 2 very small amounts from their bank account to verify the account was active; However, the next activity showed that they actually withdrew the 2 small amounts. The bank rep stated that the next activity was going to be that they withdraw all the funds from that account. HOW WAS THIS ABLE TO BE DONE AFTER REGISTERING WITH EXPERIAN BOOST?
i am trying to get a loan to help me pay off my credits cards. i need one that has a small interest pay off thanks for your help. also one with lower paybacks
In this world of identity theft, to hand over your bank info to a company who uses a third party to collect that info is ludicrous. Why not simply give your utility bill information instead. Most utilities have a payment history that will tell you of your payment activity. There are much better ways than giving up your bank account info…..
I want to disenrole in boost program I been trying to get rid of it I cannot afford to pay $24.99a month but it won’t let stop it. Please help
I want to disenrole in boost program I been trying to get rid of it I cannot afford to pay $24.99a month but it won’t let stop it. Please hrlp
The mere idea of any of these services needing personal bank account information is horrifying. ID theft implications are beyond acceptable risk levels. If they are so willing to help boost credit scores, then they should consider revising their rating practices. I have a very low score with them and have for several years, due to medical bills I could not pay without insurance having gone to collections, which I am still paying off today. When you are a low wage earner, have a hospitalization and surgery. and no coverage whatsoever, you can end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills which you can’t pay. Since hospitals often just throw such things to collections, you are stuck with the consequences. Experian does not care. Such collections on my history, are not tracked with TransUnion or Equifax and my score with them is over 100 points higher.
I tried Experian Boost twice today. Both times it got to my Huntington Bank information and sent me a verification code via text. I entered the code(s) and got bumped back to a screen that said something went wrong and I should try again. That did not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about how/why I entered all of my account information. After two attempts I gave up.
Experian boost says it found 24 tmobile payments. I select “add to credit file” and page says “updating credit file” but status bar never moves. Have tried several times for as long as hour and a half as nothing changes. Boost doesn’t work
The mere suggestion of releasing ones bank account to ??? is ludicrous. My score is 650 and it is based on very old accounts. Missing or simply forgetting to pay an account should not result in 25 years of negative credit and it is almost impossible to get a score raised…years and years which is insipid! Recently had a late payment of $30.00 To talbots which is run by Comenity bank….I forgot to push the final button on bank bill pay and realized it after 3 days and called Talbots but it was too late. It appeared on my credit report as a late payment. YES EXPERIAN HAD IT!! They also have information about a late payment but they do not know, nor do they care that the payment was confiscated in the mail and the check was altered by the thief and processed by my bank. It was rewritten to someone in Missouri and my name was forged….it was side marked “moving” and after months of looking for the check payment, my bank called me and asked if I was moving? By now the credit card company had written me off and started sending exorbitant statements which I was unable to pay due to the fees they attached. It has been on my credit for years and years. I cannot even lease a vehicle. Been current with all creditors for years and years but cannot clear up the matter with experian.
My Credit score is good but if theres a way to raise it why not? Problem is, I Pay bills by Credit Card (to earn points, etc.), not through a bank account. So giving my bank login information would show no information pertaining to bill Payments.
This sounds like a great help in boosting a persons credit score, except for the fact it won’t be helpful at Transunion or Equifax, since they don’t consider Utility payments worth noting?Unfortunately 90% of lenders use ONLY Transunion and Equixax credit scores, which to me is unfair. They need to get off there high horse and join with the Experian Boost Program, and make it FAIR for all!
Someone needs to provide the information that people with joint bank accounts will not be able to use Experian Boost even if you and your spouse have separate utility and cell phone bills.
Hello. Trying to use the experience boost but my credit union is not listed. Panhandle Educators Federal Credit Union
This sounds like a very valuable process for someone trying to increase their credit score. HOWEVER, I am very concerned about Experian having my specific banking information. Experian, along with most others, resells info to third parties. WILL THIS SPECIFIC BANKING INFORMATION be included in that information??? Rather than providing specific banking information, can the entities that would have positive information submit my payment histories to Experian? If not, I am very hesitant to use Experian Boost. Thank you.
This would be great; however, I linked my bank account and it found no utilities! Aqua Water, Dominion, First Energy, AT&T and Verizon are quite clearly on there!!!
While my credit is not half bad why would I want to give any agency my banking logon and password??? This seems kinda shady to me. Nobody needs to know this but me.
do boost experian have a phone number
Your new tool is ridiculous. With multiple credit reporting agencies….and you can manipulate the score of someone with your APP….why do we need the credit reporting agencies. Why do we need or should validate your data? You now use smoke and mirrors. You are putting yourselves out of business. Hello is there any intelligent life on this planet!
To many really sensitive info questions. This is an identity thief’s dream. No way Jose. I will live with my meager credit score.
I tried Experian with Boost but it did not help very much! I am in the FAIR credit rating score (around 660) since I paid off my car loan & credit card. Both accounts are now closed. I no longer have / want a credit card, but I want my Credit Rating back in the 720 range. My 2 Credit karma scores are about the same, but the Experian rating is -35 points lower. Adding Boost and using 3 accounts (Cell, Internet,& Electricity auto payments) from my bank account (using 57 payments made) my credit score only increased +16 points. WOW, Hardly enough to give up my bank info. C K suggestion is to open a new credit card and put those auto payments on the new CC (not my bank account). But with FAIR credit rating APR is 25% on most cards I would qualify for. Seems like you can’t win unless you are in debt!
I am very interested, however, I am afraid to give out my banking user name and password
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Include monthly mortgage payments!
Include monthly association fees!
Include monthly home insurance!
Include monthly car insurance!
All/most of these are already being paid by those of us needing a credit Boost!
Please add them to the eligible accounts as soon as possible so we can benefit and help improve our financial status quicker!

Day one of lockdown 2, and I’m listening to a playlist called Sunny Days. Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds comes on and suddenly I’m no longer in my cramped bedroom cum office cum yoga studio cum gym, but back on a beach in the Philippines, where I lived above a reggae bar after graduating. In the month it took me to complete my Divemaster qualification there, my love for the ocean and its creatures deepened so much that I would dedicate my life to protecting them. I can see the tiny green islands dotted along the horizon in front of me, and the scuba-diving heaven below them; I imagine the manta rays, sharks and multi-coloured tropical fish that we spent every day with, and replay the conversations I had with my good friend there about how we would look after these phenomenal creatures.
Six years later and I was on my paddleboard, propelling myself through Scottish waters. I’d been paddling almost every day for nearly two months on my journey from Land’s End to John O’groats. It was 11am, and I’d been on the water since 4am. The fog was so thick I couldn’t navigate by sight. I couldn’t see any land, and was relying on my GPS unit to direct me to shore. Instead of the crystal-clear, glassy flat waters of the Philippines I was cutting through choppy, grey waves, the occasional gull my only company. I was exhausted, fed up and a little bit scared. But I’d got my headphones on, pressed play on my motivational playlist and Bob Marley appeared, telling me that Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright.

EEOC Issues Proposed Rule on ADA and Wellness Programs
Rule would permit incentives, emphasize confidentiality
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) describing how Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to employer wellness programs that are part of group health plans. The NPRM is available here and was officially published on Monday, April 20, 2015. Members of the public have 60 days from that date (or until Friday, June 19) to submit comments.
The EEOC’s proposed rule would provide much needed guidance to both employers and employees about how wellness programs offered as part of an employer’s group health plan can comply with the ADA consistent with provisions governing wellness programs in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as amended by the Affordable Care Act. In addition, the EEOC is also publishing a Fact Sheet for Small Businesses and a Question and Answer document for the general public.
Many employers that provide health insurance also offer workplace wellness programs intended to encourage healthier lifestyles or prevent disease. These programs sometimes use health risk assessments and biometric screenings to determine an employee’s health risk factors, such as body weight and cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure levels. Some of these programs offer financial and other incentives for employees who participate or achieve certain health outcomes.
Although the ADA limits the circumstances in which employers may ask employees about their health or require them to undergo medical examinations, it allows such inquiries and exams if they are voluntary and part of an employee health program.
The NPRM further requires that if an employee health program seeks information about employee health or medical examinations, the program must be reasonably likely to promote health or prevent disease. Employees cannot be required to participate in a wellness program, and they cannot be denied health coverage or disciplined if they refuse to participate
The EEOC’s proposed rule makes clear that wellness programs are permitted under the ADA, but that they may not be used to discriminate based on disability. The rule explains that under the ADA, companies may offer incentives of up to 30% of the total cost of employee-only coverage in connection with wellness programs. These programs can include medical examinations or questions about employees’ health (such as questions on a health risk assessment).
This limit is generally consistent with limits that HIPAA imposes on wellness programs. The rule also makes clear, however, that the ADA provides important safeguards to employees to protect against discrimination based on disability. Accordingly, medical information collected as a part of a wellness program may be disclosed to employers only in aggregate form that does not reveal the employee’s identity and must be kept confidential in accordance with ADA requirements.
“The EEOC worked closely with the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury in developing this NPRM to harmonize the ADA’s requirement that medical inquiries and exams that are part of an employee health program must be voluntary, and HIPAA’s goal of allowing incentives to encourage participation in wellness programs,” said EEOC Chair Jenny R. Yang.
Employers also may not subject employees to interference with their ADA rights, threats, intimidation, or coercion for refusing to participate in a wellness program or for failing to achieve certain health outcomes. Finally, individuals with disabilities must be provided with reasonable accommodations that allow them to participate in wellness programs and to earn whatever incentive an employer offers.
In addition to setting a limit on incentives, the NPRM, which includes interpretive guidance that will be published along with the final rule, requires that employers provide employees a notice that describes what medical information will be collected, with whom it will be shared, how it will be used, and how it will be kept confidential. The interpretive guidance also includes an extensive discussion of both legal requirements and best practices that ensure confidentiality of employee medical information.
The Commission looks forward to receiving comments on the NPRM that will shape the final regulation. In addition, the Commission has asked a number of specific questions in the preamble to the NPRM on which it seeks comment before finalizing the rule. Methods for commenting are specified in the notice in the Federal Register.

Democrats Break All Rules to Get President Trump
There are no rules when it comes to capturing the former president Donald Trump.
Democrats are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their objectives. When it comes to investigating Democratic political figures the scales always seem to tip in their favor.
It has affected the conservatives’ perception of Rule of Law.
Liberal media does not know how conservatives feel about the Justice Department and FBI’s conduct in the past few years.
All over the country, it was said that the Steele dossier is reliable and that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation. The opposite was true.
The FBI and DOJ’s highest officials used the Steele dossier repeatedly to obtain warrants for American citizens. They should have known better.
Special counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump last week for allegedly conspiring with others to deny voters the constitutional right to vote and to prevent an orderly transfer power.
The indictment of Mr. Smith is problematic for a number of reasons.
First, it is a problem that the Republican former president of the United States is to be tried by the District of Columbia, which is overwhelmingly Democratic. This is an area where President Trump received less than 5% in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
As with every American, Donald Trump has the constitutional right under the Sixth Amendment to have his case heard before an impartial jury. It is impossible to do this in a place where he’s vilified and hated by the majority.
This is the case where a politician deserves to be moved from one courtroom to another.
The Supreme Court ruled that a transfer of venue is warranted if “extraordinary local prejudice” will prevent a fair hearing (Skilling V. United States).
In Delaney V. United States, First Circuit held that under the Sixth Amendment a change of venue was required when congressional hearings created an hostile environment that prejudiced defendant.
I believe that President Trump’s situation meets both of these standards.
If the trial continues as it is, this will set a precedent that could be troubling for future officeholders of either party.
This will encourage prosecutors to bring weak cases to hostile jurisdictions to obtain a favorable legal verdict from a jury with similar political motivations and sympathies.
The Smith indictment raises issues of great political importance, and it is important that the prosecution shakes up the American legal and political system in a way that passes the “smell test”.
Simply put, the Sixth Amendment is not met by allowing this case in Washington, D.C.
There are also issues with the way Judge Tanya Chutkan presided over this case. I don’t question her character or professional abilities. I voted for her confirmation to the federal bench.
But Judge Chutkan, a Barack Obama appointment, was already involved in the sentencing of January 6th defendants, and in doing so has repeatedly shown that she has made up her mind about President Trump and what happened that day.
She gave harsher sentences than the prosecutors had requested. She also said that the defendants of January 6th “didn’t go to the United States Capitol because they love our country, but rather “went for one person”: President Trump.
These comments indicate that Judge Chutkan had already held President Trump accountable for the conduct of rioters on January 6, even before he entered her courtroom. The lawyers for President Trump may have grounds to argue she should be “disqualified”, under the statute of recusal.
This case must be handled by a fresh set of eyes.
Third, the indictment of Mr. Smith robs President Trump crucial defenses.
No “co-conspirator”, from the inner circle of President Trump, who challenged the elections and discussed legal theories to support these challenges with former president, was indicted.
The President is in a very difficult position. He relied on the same individuals to create his legal challenges, but they are now unindicted conspirators.
This legal cloud will prevent key witnesses who are crucial to President Trump’s defence from testifying because they will have to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
Mr. Smith should have indicted them if he truly believed that the inner circle of President Trump included co-conspirators. It is clear that the prosecution’s goal in not charging them was to remove all of the major defense witnesses and flip those who President Trump relied on during the relevant period.
This legal maneuver will hinder President Trump’s defense and, in effect, deny him due process.
Fourth, we all know that you need to be sure you have a solid case before you charge an ex-president of the United States.
The case at hand does not meet this standard.
The prosecution did not charge President Trump for inciting a riot. Smith accused President Trump of conspiring to defraud United States.
In order to win this case, the prosecution will have to prove that President Trump was aware of his false statements regarding election interference.
Indictment states that President Trump was informed by the Pope himself that some of the allegations about voter fraud were false. Even if Pope Francis told Mr. Smith that President Trump was wrong, the case against him is weak because the president believed the opposite.
The prosecutor can’t ignore the fact that, after years of wrong impeachments as well as the Crossfire Hurricane mess the President had legitimate reasons to think the system was rigged against him from the moment he decided he wanted to run for office.
Many of my Republican colleagues, both in the House and Senate, objected to the results in individual states. This is similar to what Democrats did in the past.
As I’ve said before, I do not agree with the legal theories proposed by the Trump Team.
The First Amendment, which provides greater protection to President Trump’s political speeches during that time period, should not be ignored.
The prosecutors did not acknowledge this and move on. Instead, they brought an indictment which stretched the law.
The election of 1876 is a good example.

This invention relates to an assembling apparatus for a rotating electrical machine having permanently magnetized field magnets and more particularly to an improved mechanism for assembly such machines with a minimum of hand operation.
Many types of rotating electrical machines include a stator, which has affixed to its inner shell a plurality of circumferentially spaced permanent magnets. These permanent magnets cooperate with windings that are formed on a rotor that is juxtaposed to and rotates within the stator case. Obviously, the permanent magnets have a fairly large magnetic flux and this makes manual assembly of the stator case around the rotor difficult. The reason for this is that as the armatures of the rotor move into proximity with the permanent magnets of the stator case, they will be attracted and cause physical contact. This requires considerable strength of the assembler's hands in order to prevent such contact or the permanent magnets and/or rotor could be damaged.
It has been the practiced to provide a rust proof surface treatment on the magnets; particularly in the use of neodymium-iron-boron magnets and any contact will cause this coating to be displaced. This can result in deterioration of the rust proofing quantities of the device.
It is, therefore, a principal object to this invention to provide an improved apparatus for assembling such rotation machines wherein the operator need not hold the components in spaced relationship when they are axially moved into registry with each other and so that the components will be held against engagement with each other during this assembling technique.
This invention is adapted to be embodied in an assembling apparatus for permanent magnet rotating electrical machines. The electrical machine includes a generally cylindrical stator case having permanent field magnets secured to an inside surface of the stator case and a rotor that is journalled by paired front and rear end closures attached to the stator case. The assembling apparatus comprises a jig for assembling and holding one end of the rotor and one of the end closures. A rotor holder smaller than the internal diameter of the stator is provided for holding the other end of the rotor in alignment with the rotational axis of the rotor. A stator case holder holds the stator case and is supported for movement along the rotor axis while holding the stator case. A driver is provided for assembling the stator case to the one end closure by relatively moving the stator case along the rotor axis while holding the other end of the rotor with the rotor holder.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a rotating electrical machine of the type, which can be assembled by the assembling apparatus hereof, with a portion broken away and shown in section.
FIG. 2 is an end view of the machine looking in the direction of the arrow 2 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken through the stator case sharing the attached permanent magnets.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 4—4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the assembling apparatus showing in solid lines the condition prior to assembly of the stator case onto a supported rotor and associated end closure and intermediate positions in phantom.
FIG. 6 is a view looking generally in a direction perpendicular to that of FIG. 5 and shows the assembling apparatus partially broken away to indicate the relation of the components to each other.
FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 7—7 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 is a view looking generally in the same direction as FIG. 6 and shows the first step in the assembling procedure.
FIG. 9 is a view, in part similar to FIG. 8, and shows the second step in the assembly operation.
FIG. 10 is a view, in part similar to FIGS. 8 and 9, and shows the final step in the assembly operation of the stator case to the one end cap.
Referring now in details to the drawings and initially primarily to FIGS. 1 and 2, a starter motor that is assembled by a method and apparatus embodying the invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 21. The starter motor is adapted to provide electrical starting of an associated internal combustion engine (not shown). Although the invention is described in conjunction with the starter motor, from the foregoing description, it should be apparent that the invention may also be utilized with other types of rotating electrical machines such as electrical generators or alternators.
The starter motor 21 includes a cylindrical housing 22 which also forms a magnet carrier, as will become apparent. To this end, permanent magnets 23 are affixed by adhesive bonding in circumferentially spaced locations around a cylindrical inner surface portion of the outer housing 22. (See also FIGS. 3 and 4) The permanent magnets are formed from a magnetic material having a high flux density such as neodymium-iron-boron. Preferably the method described in the copending application entitled “ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE WITH PERMANENT MAGNETS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME”, Ser. No. 09/790,959, filed Feb. 22, 2001 and assigned to the assignee hereof may be used for this purpose, although other methods are possible.
The outer housing 22 is closed at opposite ends by means of end plates or closures 24 and 25. The end plates 24 and 25 are fixed to the cylindrical housing 22 by means of a pair of elongated bolts or threaded fasteners 26, which are threaded into lugs formed on the end plate 25.
A rotor, indicated generally by the reference numeral 27 is journalled in the starter motor housing by means of bearings 28 and 29 carried by the end plates 24 and 25, respectively. An oil seal 31 is disposed adjacent the front bearing 29 while the rear bearing 28 is provided in a blind bore in the end plate 24.
The rear end plate 24 has a pair of lugs 32 that are formed with openings so as to receive fasteners for affixing it to the associated engine or body of the associated vehicle.
The rotor 27 is provided with a plurality of coil windings 33 that cooperate with the permanent magnets 23. Electrical current is fed to these windings by means of a commutator 34 that is fixed forwardly of the windings 33 and which cooperates with brushes mounted on a brush holder 35 as is known in the art. The rotor 27 has a portion 36 that protrudes from the front end plate 25 for cooperation with a flywheel starter gear (not shown) of the associated engine for its starting in a well known manner.
The front end plate 25 is provided with an electrical fitting 37 for passing an electrical cable 38 that supplies electrical current to the windings 33 of the rotor 27 through the brushes. A terminal post 39 provides one of these electrical connections through a conductor 41 that is insulated from the stator case outer housing 22 by an insulating sleeve 42. The conductor 41 supplies electrical power to the brushes (not shown) from a terminal plate 43. The other connection is provided by grounding of the housing 32 to the vehicle body or engine, in a manner well known in this art.
The apparatus for practicing the invention is shown in detail in FIGS. 5 through 10 and will now be referred to with respect to those figures. This apparatus is indicated generally by the reference numeral 44 and includes a pair of transversely spaced vertically extending guide rods 45 that are mounted on a table mechanism 46 at one side of a conveyor mechanism 47. The table mechanism 46 is moveable as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5 toward and away from the conveyor mechanism 47, which has a path movement indicated by the arrows in FIG. 6 that extends transversely to the direction of reciprocation of the table mechanism 46.
A pair of tubular cylinders 48 are slidably supported upon the guide rods 45 as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5 and are connected to a pair of transversely extending support arms 49 and 51 which extend toward and above the conveyor 47 in the loading position as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6 as well as FIGS. 8 through 10.
The support plate 49 carries at its outer end a guide bushing 52 through which a support rod 53 extends. The support rod 53 depends downwardly toward the conveyor 47.
The lower support plate 51 carries a gripping jaw mechanism, indicated generally by the reference numeral 54, which is shown in most detail in FIG. 7 comprised of a cylinder 55 having a pair of oppositely extending piston rods 56 which are connected to gripping jaws 57 for moving the gripping jaws 57 as shown by the arrows in FIG. 7 between an opened position as shown in solid lines to a closed position.
In this closed position, circumferential bearing surfaces 58 of the gripping jaws 57 are received in a groove 59 that is formed in the cylindrical stator casing 22 at a position axially spaced from the magnets 23.
As seen in FIG. 6, the top support plate 49 has attached to it, between the posts 45, an actuating rod 61 of a pneumatic cylinder 62. This pneumatic cylinder 62 is, in turn, mounted on a cross piece 63 that is fixed to the tops of the support rods 45. Hence, when the piston rod 61 is extended, the support plates 49 and 51 and the mechanism carried by them will move upwardly and downwardly relative to the conveyor 47 in a direction as indicated by the arrows in FIGS. 5 and 8 through 10.
The guide rod 53, which is journalled within the bearing 52 of the upper plate 49, carries at its lower end a fixture 64, which, in turn, supports a rotor support 65. The rotor support 65 is formed from a plastic material and has a cylindrical outer surface that is of a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the permanent magnets 23. A lower end 66 of the rotor support 64 is formed with a shape complementary to one of the end plates and particularly the first end plate 24 of the starter motor 21.
The rotor support 65 is carried on the fixture 64 and in turn carried by the upper plate 49, as previously noted. This mechanism is supported for relative movement to the lower support plate 51 and specifically the stator casing-gripping device 54. A coil compression spring 67 is interposed between the upper support plate 49 and the fixture 64 for a purpose, which will become apparent shortly. There is a suitable stop (not shown) so as to limit the degree of downward movement of the fixture 64 under the action of the spring 67.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided a fixture 68 which is carried by the conveyor 47 and onto which is placed a sub-assembly, indicated generally by the reference numeral 69, which includes the front end plate 25 with the rotor 27 supported in the bearing 29 and seal 31 of this end plate 25. This mechanism moved forwardly to a position in registry with the stator holder 54 and rotor holder 65 by the conveyor 47.
A further conveyor mechanism, indicated by the reference numeral 71 and shown in FIG. 5, is provided at a side of the support plate 46 and presents stator cases 22 with mounted magnets 23 to the mechanism 54 so as to pick them up from the conveyor 74 and transfer to them a position over the conveyor 47 and the fixture 68 on which the assembly 69 consisting of the end plate 25 and rotor 27 has been positioned. The conveyor mechanism 71 is then retracted and the assembly moves to the position show in FIGS. 5 through 8.
Then, the cylinder 61 is activated so as to lower the support plates 49 and 51, the gripped stator case 22 and its gripping mechanism 54 as well as the rotor holder 65. This movement continues to the position shown in FIG. 9. At this time, the rotor 27 is then supported both at its upper and lower ends about its rotational axis and it will not be free to cant in the fixture 68.
The cylinder 53 is continuously activated so as to force the plates 49 and 51 downwardly and the plate 51 is free to slide relative to the plate 49 on the guide sleeves 48. This movement continues to permit the stator case 23 to encircle the rotor 27 without engaging the surfaces of the coils 33 or the cores of the armatures thereof. Thus, the stator case is then assembly on to the lower end plate 25 and it will be held against transverse movement relative to the rotor 27.
The mechanism is then moved backwardly from the position shown in FIG. 10 to the position shown in FIG. 9 and then to the position shown in FIG. 8. The operator can then insert the other end plate 24 and remove the assembly from the fixture 68 to insert the bolts 26 and complete the assembly of the starter motor 21.
Thus, it should be readily apparent that this construction permits a very easily assembled starter motor without having manual force necessary to hold the rotor 27 against transverse movement to the stator case 22 as would be normally caused by the attraction of the magnets 23.
Of course, the foregoing description is that of a preferred embodiment of the invention and it should be a parent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modification may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

It’s tweets like this that remind us exactly why independent YouTubers have actually taken the time to make “thug life compilations” dedicated to Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro.
Shapiro’s jab targeted women’s lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan, a publication which tries to market itself as a feminist paradise and a sex catalogue at the same time. The takedown occurred after the magazine shared an article which claims that young children are in danger of spreading the evils of white racism through innocent Halloween costumes.
The article in question touches on a subject you’ve probably seen a few times this month: that cultural attire such as Native American headdresses or other traditional garb can be socially harmful if worn by someone with the wrong skin color.
As Shapiro points out, lamenting about colorful costumes while encouraging absurd practices such as “gender-neutral parenting” or even abortion is pretty off-base.
Halloween costumes celebrating cultures belonging to someone other than the person wearing it have become a hot topic in liberal bastions such as college campuses in recent years. Cultural appropriation, as they call it, is threat to the cultural identity of historically mistreated minority groups.
This logic couldn’t be more flawed. Cultural appropriation, the very trend which brought us rock n’ roll and just about every sport under the sun, is good for humanity as a whole. It encourages the communication of ideas between groups, ultimately bridging cultural divides.

One of the most rewarding things my music will ever give me is a big huge hug. And then we will sit there and cuddle, eat popcorn and watch movies late into the night. I’ll feel warmer and happier than I did during any other moment of my day.
This is the reason why so many people followed the Ghost Mice/Matty Pop Chart tour into San Luis Obispo Sunday night. To be honest, I think more people followed this excursion than Rush’s last stadium tour. That’s quite amazing when you think about the number of people that have even heard of these bands. Far from indie circuit main stagers, Ghost Mice and Matty Pop Chart led their clan of fans in an amazing sing-a-long set of songs at Two Dogs’ Caf‚.
I arrived right before Kenny (from local band the Attractives) began his set. The show itself had been going since 3 p.m. where it opened with a potluck and a show at Mitchell Park. Sitting alone with his guitar, Kenny moved through a variety of songs before playing a rather vulgar song that hinged heavily on lyrics involving “head under a rainbow.”
Matty Pop Chart played next as a crew of high school and college students swarmed in next to each other. The music itself could easily have been played next door at the library, but it rumbled a sincere statement of the punk movement. Songs about being lonely, out of place and fighting all of those evil corporations were placed behind amazingly cute vocals and simple acoustic guitar work. It was very different than the raw aggression and anger that pushes so many away from punk rock, especially after they leave high school. Lead singer and only member Matt Tobey pushed through his set of songs with a smile and a rather shy look focused far away from the audience, who stared at him with full attention
Ghost Mice then climbed on stage quickly, aided by the fact that the show required no electronic equipment and set changes could move rapidly. To be honest, I felt a little left out because I was one of the few that did not know every single one of the lyrics. The show was amazing to watch though, as the Indiana based band played through songs describing schemes to steal pizza and the presence of life after high school. It was affectionate and touching to see so many young kids touched by something so honest and pure and earnest and helping. Part of the amazement came from the tolerance the crowd gives the artists because the artists give so much forgiveness to the crowd. Guitar tuning off of an accordion and missteps in lyrics are loved just as much as the songs themselves.
The show was definitely one of those rewarding musical experiences. Just as amazing as guitar solos, technical brilliance and genre-bending weirdness. I’m glad kids are finding this and latching onto it. In fact, I’m glad I found it because I’m latching on too.
Show tip: the Easy Star All Stars will be performing a reggae tribute to Radiohead on Wednesday at Downtown Brewing Co. It’s probably worth it merely to watch someone with dreads play the guitar solo from “Paranoid Android.”

SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgarian veterinary authorities said on Wednesday they would cull 39,656 pigs after detecting an outbreak of African swine fever at a farm in the northeast, the second industrial farm in the country to be hit by the virus in the last five days.
Last year the virus hit six breeding farms in the Balkan country, forcing the authorities to cull more than 130,000 pigs.
The outbreak was detected at a farm in the village of Brestak, in the region of the Black Sea city of Varna, the food safety agency said, adding that a 3-km quarantine zone would be established around the village.
The highly contagious disease affects pigs but not humans.

Sympathy For the Devil on The Campaign Trail
May 17th, 2017 • The Chronicle Herald • Opinions
I have seen politicians who get too big for their britches, who grease palms and kiss too many babies to seem sincere. I have also seen politicians whose skin was not thick enough to deal with the everyday criticism directed at them by opposing politicians and voters.
I have seen service-minded people become mean-spirited under such strain. Politics can change a person. The stress, the lack of sleep — the road to hell and a seat in the provincial assembly is often paved with good intentions.

WATERTOWN Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — If you haven't finished your gift shopping by the last weekend before Christmas, this might be where the holiday stress kicks in.
Maureen from Watertown was doing some last-minute shopping at Target, but she told WBZ NewsRadio it's not that stressful for her.
"I always wait until the last weekend before Christmas," she said. "It's tradition, you know? Don't most people?!"
Even as she crossed the chaotic Target parking lot, with bags hanging from every inch of her forearms, Maureen said she considers it her victory lap since she's finally checked off all the boxes on her shopping list.
"I've just got to wrap this one last thing, and I'm done."
Jane from Cambridge also gets to relax after this weekend, and she even got to knock out the remainder of her holiday shopping at the ATM.
"We've got two kids, and they just want a little cash," she said.

In 1870 a rolling stone came to a halt at the court of the Khedive Ismail of Egypt.
His name was Alexander McComb Mason and in his background were stints as a sailor, some civil war blockade-running, a term in a military prison and some experience as a revolutionary in Chile and Cuba. Now he was to serve for years as an administrator and explorer for the ruler of Egypt.
With one exception the background of Alexander Mason was conventional: the son of a Washington lawyer, George Mason, author of the Virginia Bill of Rights, and grandson of a man who had been the highest ranking general in the United States Army at the time of his death in 1841. The exception was McComb's paternal grandfather John Mason, also a general. Wealthy, high-living John Mason lived on Analostan Island in the Potomac where, since he liked entertaining, he built a large, handsome, airy Chinese house dedicated almost entirely to wild partying. Long since destroyed, the house was decidedly an exotic in its day.
So was the General's grandson. Early on, young Alexander had rejected the occupations that usually attracted young Virginia gentlemen—farming, politics, the law, the church—in favor or going to sea. While still in his teens McComb served as master's mate on the frigate "Niagara," which assisted in the attempt to lay the first Atlantic Cable. He did accept an appointment to Annapolis but, in 1861, resigned to join the Confederacy and to thus embark on a military career varied and vigorous enough to satisfy the most adventurous nature. He fought at Drury's Bluff, Hampton Roads and Charleston and ran the blockade off the southern coast of the Confederacy.
During the war, he also served as private secretary to his Uncle James, who headed the Mason-Slidell Mission from the Confederacy to England. En route to England, the Union Navy removed the commissioners from the British ship Trent in the famous Trent Affair. When finally released he and his uncle went on to England, but to no avail. Despite Queen Victoria's pro-Southern sentiments her prudent government withheld recognition.
Later, while blockade-running, he served with distinction until captured while commanding a contingent of sailors acting as infantry at the Battle of Sailor's Creek. Imprisoned until the war's end, he emerged at the age of 25 to find himself barred from his profession and tempermentally unsuited to turning to farming. Like countless others, the sailor became a soldier of fortune and the stone began to roll.
At that time, Latin America was in ferment and in need of experienced fighting men. Thus, like many Civil War Veterans, Mason went south. He served first in Chile, in the rebellion against Spain, then, after a trip to China as mate on a merchant ship, in Cuba, fighting with the revolutionaries. Later, still restless, he returned to the United States to find some unusual men recruiting for an unusual cause.
In the Middle East at that time, the ruler of Egypt, Ismail—Hereditary Khedive and Viceroy of Egypt under the Ottoman Empire—was looking to the future. Exposure to the west—he had been partially educated in France—and a sense of his country's importance after the building of the Suez Canal had persuaded him that Egypt should develop into a strong, viable nation free from domination by either Turkey or the great powers of Europe. To help him achieve that goal he decided to seek technical advisors from the United States—in those days a neutral power and a friend to the Arabs. Through the agency of Thaddeus Mott, an American with distinguished Middle Eastern connections (his wife was Turkish and his aunt married to a Turkish diplomat), Ismail had begun to recruit unemployed veterans of the American Civil War who could be hired independently, without governmental involvement.
For advice on this subject, Mott turned to General of the Armies William Tecumseh Sherman, who had a wide knowledge of officers from both sides of the recent conflict. From the names recommended by Sherman, Mott eventually chose some 50 officers to serve in Egypt under Union General Charles P. Stone (Aramco World, January-February, 1972), among them Alexander McComb Mason.
McComb Mason was among the first to go. To him it was an assignment with an appeal far beyond merely making a living or putting his military training to use. It was adventure in an ancient, exotic world.
At first, adventure was slow in coming. Beyond service on the khedivial steamers there were few opportunities for a naval officer. But then General Stone assigned him to map the Oasis of Siwa, and his course was set. He accompanied Colonels Raleigh Colston and Erastus Purdy to Berenice on the Red Sea and to Berber, across the Nubian Desert. Later he served as second in command to Purdy when they went to Darfur, both explorations part of a plan to map, survey and chart all of Egypt and the African hinterland of the Nile river system; to obtain scientific data; to define the borders of the Khedive's suzerainty.
Although the officers—from Chaille-Long in Uganda to Graves on the Gulf of Aden—labored under incredible difficulties there were compensations. Off in the wilderness they were on their own, not bucking the entrenched bureaucracy of khedivial Egypt. And if there were frictions they stemmed from personality clashes rather than from the issues that had produced the Civil War.
For a man of Mason's complex personality there was more. Like Lawrence and Thesiger years later, he was uneasy with his own people but well adjusted to foreign peoples. He spoke Arabic fluently and got on well with Arabs. He was, as one man wrote: "romantic under a taciturn exterior . . . industrious . . . scholarly . . . sensitive . . ."
In 1876, Mason, returning to Cairo after a year and a half in the Sudan with Purdy and feeling—apparently with reason—that his superior was taking all the credit for their mutual effort, exploded. General Stone, realizing that his subordinate was essentially a misfit in Cairo, sent him off with Colonel H.C. Prout to serve as the Deputy Governor under the famous English General Charles ("Chinese") Gordon of Khartoum, at that time the Khedive's governor in Equatorial Africa.
From Khartoum Mason was assigned to follow up new discoveries at the headwaters of the Nile, especially Lake Albert Nyanza, which had been visited by English and Italian explorers but never accurately surveyed. It was an assignment tailored to his needs and in 1887 he left Dufile on the White Nile in the small steamer Nyanza, charting en route. He completely circumnavigated the lake, discovering the Semliki River which connects Lakes Albert and Edward and achieving a professional triumph that bore the stamp of Annapolis training. It was so successful that when Prout left the Sudan, Mason stayed on as deputy governor to crusty "Chinese" Gordon.
Toward the end of 1878 it became apparent that the tenure of the Civil War veterans in Egypt was near its end. Ismail was better at conceiving plans than administering them and, as a result, his regime was in deep financial and political trouble. In June 1879, under pressure from European governments and the Sultan in Constantinople, Ismail abdicated in favor of his son Tewfik, thus bringing to Egypt an Anglo-French presence in which the Americans were less welcome. General Stone, however, survived as Chief of Staff and kept with him three of the American officers who had been primarily interested in exploration—Purdy, Prout and Mason—all of whom chose to accept civilian employment from the Egyptian government.
Although McComb was now Mason Bey—a title of honor—his habits were well established. He had been with Gordon again in 1878 and in 1880-81 was sent on surveys in the Fayum and elsewhere.
In the Sudan he took a keen interest in the country. In 1883 he read a paper before the Khedivial Geographical Society analyzing the potentialities of railway transport there and at one point publicly criticizing their treatment by Egypt. He also suggested an unusual project. Why not follow the Liberian precedent and settle American Negroes desiring repatriation in the under developed areas of the Sudan? Possibly because he failed to consider how Afro-American Baptists would get along with African Muslims, the project excited little interest.
For several years, Mason also served as governor of Erjtrea, at that time within the khedivial bailiwick. He also accompanied Sir William Hewitt on a mission to King John of Abyssinia as a result of which an Abyssinian-Egyptian treaty was signed at Adowa. In 1884 he undertook a mission to the Abyssinian General Ras Allula, then involved in hostilities with Arabs at Kassala. The American with an affinity for Arabs was proving diplomatically useful.
By now a director of public lands, he continued in the service of Egypt until, on leave in America, he died in 1897, "still," as the Washington Post obituary put it, "in the service of the Khedive."
The impact of the 19th century Americans in Egypt was not historically spectacular, but it did leave its mark. Years later British officers commented with surprise on the discipline and elan of certain Egyptian troops—so unusual in the Ottoman Empire at the time. And some of the exploration and mapping of large areas of Africa were direct legacies from General Stone and his officers. Above all, it was the first time a Middle Eastern ruler had turned to the United States for technical help on a fairly large scale. McComb Mason and his fellows—rocking across the desert on camels, serving at the khedivial court, navigating rivers and chatting with chieftains—were predecessors of the men who would one day bring American technology to the heart of Arabia—proof, perhaps, that even a rolling stone leaves at least a faint track on the sands of time.
Betty Patchin Greene, a descendent of Alexander Mason, has contributed articles to Mademoiselle, Harper's Bazaar and California newspapers.

Where are the tens of thousands of bitcoins coming out of coinbase going?
Bitcoin, which broke a record this week and saw $ 24 thousand, has been the focus of institutional investors recently. Many giant companies, such as Microstrategy, Grayscale, Square, have announced that they have received BTC in recent months, and this has been received very positively in the cryptocurrency market. At this time, Coinbase announced that MicroStrategy was mediating the purchase of 650 thousand bitcoins. Recently, tens of thousands of BTC came out of the stock market again.
Microstrategy, one of the most notable names in corporate Bitcoin investments, announced that it used the Coinbase exchange to buy Bitcoin worth $ 650 million. Brett Tejpaul of the Coinbase exchange said they had successfully managed to buy BTC for Microstrategy using the OTC system. The company’s orders were received in several pieces, thus creating no negative impact on the cryptocurrency market.
Tens of thousands of BTC out of Coinbase exchange
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju announced a large number of BTC exits from the exchange on December 23, based on graphic data showing the amount of Bitcoin coming out of Coinbase wallets. The total Bitcoin output from the stock market is 24 thousand.
“Institutional investors continue to buy Bitcoin, ” said Ki Young, citing the amount of BTC coming out of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.”he made a comment.
Referring to the magnitude of institutional investors ‘ impact on BTC, Ki Young said that over-the-counter (OTC) deals appear to be continuing, according to on-chain data.
“Pretty bullish for Bitcoin”
“Apparently, Coinbase is making a new cold wallet for every customer after the OTC deal for corporate investments, ” said Ki Young, who also shared the issue on December 23.” said. Ki Young, who shared his analysis a few days ago that the bull rally in Bitcoin is not yet over, reiterated that he is bullish for BTC in his share.

Nothing ‘evil' and no ‘conundrum' about muscle lactate production
Two articles on PainSci cite Robergs 2012: 1. Does Massage Therapy Work? 2. A Deep Dive into Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness
PainSci commentary on Robergs 2012: ?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense. Links to other papers and more general information are provided wherever possible.
Concise, clear summary of the lactic acid myth, by a physiologist, in a journal. This is the single best professional source citation I know of on this topic.
~ Paul Ingraham
original abstract †Abstracts here may not perfectly match originals, for a variety of technical and practical reasons. Some abstacts are truncated for my purposes here, if they are particularly long-winded and unhelpful. I occasionally add clarifying notes. And I make some minor corrections.
There is no ‘evil' to muscle lactate production. As there is no clear evidence that lactate has any direct negative effect on muscle contraction, there is also no ‘conundrum' to muscle lactate. Muscle lactate production is essential to sustained, repeated intense muscle contraction. Post-training increases in MCT1 and MCT4 support greater rates and total capacities of muscle lactate efflux during intense exercise performance, thereby allowing for a greater capacity for muscle lactate production and related glycolytic ATP turnover. It is long overdue, based on all aspects of the scientific method, to recognize muscle lactate production as a benefit to intense exercise performance and muscle biochemistry. I encourage researchers and educators alike to present an interpretation of muscle lactate production where the evidence-based view of the benefits of lactate production are espoused rather than a traditional blame of fatigue and acidosis simply because that is how it has always been.
