I raced right through Winter Solstice, a compilation of short stories by Kindle Press authors.
Part of the reason I raced through was that two of the stories, “Strange Bedfellows” and “Chance Chills,” are mine. I’m lying. They were the first two I read. When an author reads stories he wrote, and he hasn’t thought about them since he submitted them, first it’s scary and then it’s a relief.
Who knew? My story ain’t half bad.
I’m certainly not objective about my own work, but my stories revisit characters in my two Kindle Press novels, Crazy of Natural Causes (2015) and Forgive Us Our Trespasses (2016).
“Chance Chills” takes Chance Benford back to Hollywood, where he appears on the TV show where Crazy of Natural Causes ended, two years earlier. Hal Kinley, the hero of Forgive Us Our Trespasses, runs for sheriff of Rollison County, and finds some unlikely support, in “Strange Bedfellows.”
If you read those novels, I expect you’ll enjoy catching up with characters you met there, and if you haven’t, I expect you might want to read the novels from which they sprung.
That, of course, is the plan. Not my plan. The plan mastermind is Lincoln Cole, who edited and compiled it. He and I are joined among the contributors by our colleagues Linda Cassidy Lewis, Jessica Knauss, Jacqueline Ward, Ann Omasta, Jada Ryker, Fiona Quinn, Katherine Hayton, and Teresa Roman.
Winter Solstice – you can download it for free here – is divided into sections: Romance; Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror; Mystery, Thriller & Suspense; and Literature & Fiction. “Strange Bedfellows” is in the third section, and “Chance Chills” is the lone entry in the fourth.
I’m not that interested in all those genres, but I read every story and there wasn’t one I didn’t enjoy.
Besides, it’s free, and, so, what have you got to lose? Winter Solstice is perfect for knocking out one story while you’re eating out, alone, and need to kill some time before the nice lady brings the Tuesday Night Special, and if I don’t finish it, I read it before I pay the bill. It’s perfect for an airport layover, or for guys like me who are annoyingly punctual by nature, having nothing but friends who are fashionably late, and find themselves with a half hour to kill on a bench outside a ballgame, a table at a coffee shop, or a waiting room where either themselves or their automobiles are being serviced.
I will read several books that were introduced to me in the pages of Winter Solstice. Wouldn’t it be something if others were similarly inspired by one of my submissions?
If you’d like me to mail you a signed copy of Cowboys Come Home, or any of my other novels, you can find my address and instructions at montedutton.com. (montedutton.com/blog/merchandise)
I’ve written five novels and a collection of short stories. I’ve also written a number of books about sports, mostly about NASCAR. You can find most of them here.
Crazy of Natural Causes is on Amazon sale all month for $.99.
The Kindle versions of my books, where available, can be found above. Links below are to print editions.
My new novel is a western, Cowboys Come Home. Two World War II heroes come home from the Pacific to Texas.
I’ve written a crime novel about the corrosive effects of patronage and the rise and fall of a powerful politician and his dysfunctional family, Forgive Us Our Trespasses.
I’ve written about what happens to a football coach when he loses everything, Crazy of Natural Causes. It’s a fable of life’s absurdity.
I’ve written a tale of the Sixties in the South, centered on school integration and a high school football team, The Intangibles.
I’ve written a rollicking yarn about the feds trying to track down and manipulate a national hero who just happens to be a pot-smoking songwriter, The Audacity of Dope.
I’ve written a collection of 11 short stories, all derived from songs I wrote, Longer Songs.

Every year in May, the seaside French town of Cannes becomes a hot shpot to all medias, movie stars, as well as to people with glitz and glamour. Cannes Film Festival is always a highlight of the fashion calendar. But can you tear your eyes away from the red carpet for just a moment?
The street style photographer Diego Zuko shot high style leides off the red carpet at the streets of Cannes for Harper’s Bazaar.
The key looks from the south of France? Sailor stripes, vintage Ray-Bans, white dresses, and an abundance of splurge-inducing handbags (Chanel quilted bag in red, or a Hermès bag anyone?). Here, the très chic street styles from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Bitcoin is the undisputed leader and all the other crypto-assets closely follow its valuation. Ethereum [ETH] might be an independent asset with completely different reason d’être from that of Bitcoin, but at times, it also happens to mimic the latter’s price action. In the digital asset market, the king coin being the front runner and influencing other crypto-assets is considered a natural event.
In fact, for the past two years, the correlation has been extremely high hovering near 90%, according to Skew.
This was indicative of the fact that Ether had been the highest-correlated cryptocurrency to Bitcoin than for more than two years, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.9. But this trend appeared to be heading for a reversal. At the time of writing, the 6-month BTC-ETH correlation coefficient dropped to 0.85. According to the CoinMetrics chart attached below, the correlation coefficient dropped to a level that was last seen on the 14th of March this year.
The last couple of months have been nothing short of eventful for Ethereum. While Ethereum 2.0 launch continued to remain a moving target for the most part, but as revealed by Prysmatic Lab developer Raul Jordan, the much-anticipated launch was on track for November.
In addition to that, the DeFi explosion has managed to pump Ether’s price even higher as it was trading close to the coveted $400-level. And the mania is far from stooping as various centralized exchanges, such as Huobi and Binance, have hopped on the DeFi bandwagon and riding on its huge success.
The market sentiment
Despite several pullbacks along the way, the cryptocurrency industry has resumed an uptrend. Currently, the market was in a consolidation phase.
It is important to note that Ethereum’s correlation with the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped significantly in 2017 just before the crypto-wide bullish cycle. During this time, Ethereum ‘s price surged to its all-time high value of around $1,440.
And as earlier reported by CoinGape, a “catastrophic dump” at this point is highly unlikely. Hence, should history repeat itself, this could essentially mark the return of a potential bull market across the board for the cryptocurrency industry.

Eurogames: The Design, Culture and Play of Modern European Board Games
McFarland, 16.08.2012 - 262 Seiten
While board games can appear almost primitive in the digital age, eurogames—also known as German-style board games—have increased in popularity nearly concurrently with the rise of video games. Eurogames have simple rules and short playing times and emphasize strategy over luck and conflict. This book examines the form of eurogames, the hobbyist culture that surrounds them, and the way that hobbyists experience the play of such games. It chronicles the evolution of tabletop hobby gaming and explores why hobbyists play them, how players balance competitive play with the demands of an intimate social gathering, and to what extent the social context of the game encounter shapes the playing experience. Combining history, cultural studies, leisure studies, ludology, and play theory, this innovative work highlights a popular alternative trend in the gaming community.

Networking solution providers are coming up with cutting edge technologies aiming to deliver integrated, value-based services to health care sector. Being a rapidly growing sector, the data are piling up exponentially and most of the times, due to technological impediments, a considerable amount of health records are lost. “Lot of Electronic Health Records (EHR) generated by different hospitals is not analyzed properly, leaving many providers incapable to glean values from the huge chunks of data they are producing every hour,” says Tee Green, CEO, Greenway Health.
Headquartered in Georgia, Greenway Health delivers clinical, financial and administrative information solutions to healthcare organizations. “Our solution, helps enterprises manage delivery of highquality, costeffective care and improve health outcomes,” he adds. The health care company provides single signon platform for both EHR and Practice Management (PM) which help the clients get the quick solutions. “At Greenway Health, we provide smarter clinical, financial and administrative solutions that help businesses effectively compete in an evolving value-based healthcare system and deliver quality care that leads to improved population health outcomes,” he adds.
The company’s integrated EHR and PM system, PrimeSUITE, unifies essential clinical, financial and updated analytical technology with tailormade features that benefits both providers and administrators. With this software the company provides electronic medical contents for over thirty specialties and sub-specialties. “PrimeSUITE ensure the availability of right mechanism for organizations to achieve optimal financial performance, enhance patient care, and at the same time ascertain fast and secure access,” claims Green. Greenway Health differentiates itself with its best-of-the-breed simplified processes of scheduling appointments and resources, effective specialty-specific clinical template library, modern and integrated speech-to-text, mobile, patient engagement programs, and analytics. The company offer customized and innovative work plan, depending on the size of the clientele.
They provide significant and value effective solutions which makes Greenway Health one the most prominent face in healthcare provider system. “Our solutions are used by large enterprises, ambulatory clinics, physician practices, retail and worksite clinics,” Green states. Since inception, Greenway Health has been helping its clients to improve health outcomes. For instance, in 2002, Women’s Health Advantage (WHA), a provider of women's health care implemented a rudimentary system— an electronic version of a paper chart containing word transcriptions and scanned or hand-written diagnostic test results. The system’s functional OB flow sheet had limited data points for reporting which hindered its data mining capability. The dictation would add one to two hours to the provider’s day, impacting reversely on quality of life. Also WHA realized that Greenway’s paper ‘encounter forms’ for coding and charging created two areas of lost revenue and decided to implement Greenway’s PrimeSUITE EHR. The solution eased up the work flow and reduced the time consumed for dictating records on a daily basis. “We assembled an implementation team four months in advance to make preparations and gave direction to our effort. Later we implemented it by attending our first user’s conference two months prior to go live,” explains Green.
Moving forward, Greenway Health aims to continue delivering their expertise and quality solutions to its existing and prospective clients. The company recently announced a significant expansion of its population health solutions. “This supports Greenway Health’s mission to help our customers improve and save lives. We have always worked to empower our customers so they can deliver highquality care while being financially sound,” concludes Green.

But if you have laryngitis, your vocal cords become inflamed or irritated, causing changes in your voice such as hoarseness or hoarseness. This swelling causes distortion of sounds produced by the air passing over them.

Netflix has not stopped selling DVDs however streaming media dominates the market. The company is home to more than 65 million users. Recent research conducted by Netflix evaluated streaming media services with DVD rental services and found that streaming is sweeping the market. It was also found that streaming movies are not as good or worse than DVD.
FMovies is another well-known streaming website. They have a vast database of movies. You can search through different genres to find the movie that is most interesting to you. There’s also a search bar in the top right corner. It allows users to search for films in a specific genre, or by country of origin.

Which songs will ring out most memorably at this summer’s festivals? Hazel Sheffield marks your card ...
From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Summer 2011
You could argue that festival season started early in 2011. Street parties bathed in spring sunshine popped up to celebrate another British institution, the royal family. Royalty of a different kind hits the festivals when U2 finally headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, and Pulp make their comeback. On the smaller stages, there is enough new talent bubbling up from the grassroots to keep you dancing until autumn—if you know where to look. All songs at iTunes unless otherwise stated:
BEYONCE Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)
Inspired by her secret wedding in 2008, the year her man, Jay-Z, brought hip-hop to Glastonbury to stunning effect, “Single Ladies” is a single to wow the welly-wearers.
PULP Do You Remember the First Time?
Perhaps inspired by Blur’s triumphant reunion in 2009, Jarvis Cocker reassembles the band for several festivals beginning with Primavera, in Barcelona, on May 27th. Another chance to celebrate Britpop, which was short-lived (c.1994-96) but long remembered.
U2 Pride (In the Name of Love)
They’ve promised a big-budget performance—“Glastonbury on steroids”—to make up for missing their Pyramid Stage slot last year. Production aside, the spiritual fervour of songs like “Pride” is made for those Glastonbury moments of near-mystical significance.
KATY B Katy on a Mission
The new queen of British clubland is taking the genre now known as UK funky to Glastonbury, Mallorca and Ibiza. One of the few contemporary pop talents to update the canon, Katy B mixes understated style with upbeat tunes that will turn fields into dancefloors. The perfect antidote to the indie bands that are still ubiquitous at festivals.
MAGNETIC MAN I Need Air (feat. Angela Hunte)
The dubstep DJs Skream and Benga have been stretching out the midnight hours at festivals for years. When they combine as Magnetic Man, their powers are doubled. This jittery club hit evokes the euphoria waiting to reward those who can go the distance.
METRONOMY Love Underlined
With their new album “The English Riviera” a shoo-in for the best-of-the-year lists, Metronomy’s energetic live show is not to be missed if you’re at the Melt! festival in Germany. The dark, pulsating “Love Underlined” will come into its own among the towering industrial cranes of the old strip-mining site at Gräfenhainichen, near Leipzig.
ODD FUTURE Sandwitches (www.thefader.com)
This LA hip-hop collective take some stomaching, but they were the toast of the tastemakers at this year’s SXSW. While their records mix urban horror with heavy bass to powerful effect, their live shows are known for ending in complete anarchy. A must.
BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH Atlas Hands
See this young singer-songwriter at a smaller festival—Green Man, Secret Garden Party or Beacons—to appreciate the elegant poetry of his acoustic songs. “Atlas Hands” is the stuff of those quiet, illuminating moments that happen away from the main stage.
ARCADE FIRE Ready to Start
Even early on, these Canadians (pictured) were able to capture the precise moment at which the energy of a crowd turns into more than the sum of its parts. Now they play festivals from Tennessee to Montreux as headliners, armed with three albums of transformative pop.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
 This is a utility application based upon U.S. patent application Ser. No. 62/011,486 filed on Jun. 12, 2014. This related application is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this application. If any conflict arises between the disclosure of the invention in this utility application and that in the related provisional application, the disclosure in this utility application shall govern. Moreover, the inventor(s) incorporate herein by reference any and all patents, patent applications, and other documents hard copy or electronic, cited or referred to in this application.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 (1) Field of the Invention
 The invention generally relates to garment fabrication systems. More particularly, the invention relates to means and methods of creating a sock or other garment by use of a measuring system.
 (2) Description of the Related Art
 Various clothing construction measuring systems are known in the related art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 1,790,416 issued on Jan. 27, 1931 to Guillot discloses a complex garment making system using rigid rods, flanges and other bulky items. Guillot fails to contemplate the nuances of sock production.
 U.S. Pat. No. 2,558,974 issued on Jun. 1, 1949 to Mecklenburger discloses a flexible measuring tape having voids to comport with size changes of a knitted product. The flexible measuring tape of Mecklenburger does not comport to a heal flap section of a sock and is used upon the top only of a knitting project.
 U.S. Pat. No. 3,217,336 issued on Nov. 29, 1963 to Wikler discloses various sock embodiments or items of knitted footwear. While the Wikler sock does provide an interesting toe section and for the use of yarns of different weights, Wikler fails to disclose or suggest means of measuring sock components during fabrication.
 U.S. Pat. No. 6,178,785 issued on Jan. 30, 2001 to Samata discloses the use of three trapezoidal knit fabric lines used to create a sock heal section. The Samata sock is made even more complex by the use of various gore lines. The socks and knitting methods of Samata are based upon an unusual trapezoidal structure (see FIG. 6 of Samanta) that has failed to become popular. Samata also fails to provide means of measurement during sock construction.
 U.S. Pat. No. 7,738,991 issued on Jun. 15, 2010 to Klumpp discloses means of making a footlet. The Klumpp footlet uses a programmable circular knitting machine and is hence not useable in knitting by hand. Klump also fails to provide means of measurement during production.
 U.S. Pat. No. 8,544,300 issued on Oct. 1, 2013 to Kaneda et al discloses a knitted sock having various needle lowering areas and needle raising areas. While Kadeda produces various sock friction areas, Kandea fails to provide means of measuring sock features during production.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
 The present invention overcomes shortfalls in the related art by presenting an unobvious and unique combination and configuration of methods and components to efficiently and artfully knit or otherwise create socks, stockings and other garments.
 The invention overcomes shortfalls in the related art by using a new sock ruler system. In one embodiment, a sock ruler system comprises a rounded heel section, a cuff measuring section, cuff measurement indicia and a toe measurement section comprising toe measurement indicia.
 In another disclosed embodiment, a new sock ruler system comprises a curved heel section at one longitudinal end and a flat end section at a second longitudinal end. Measurement indicia may be disposed or written crosswise or along the width of the sock ruler. Measurement indicia values may span the longitudinal axis or lengthwise portion of the sock ruler.
 In a disclosed embodiment, in general, a round heel section is used with a cuff measuring section to knit an upper or cuff section of a sock. Once the desired cuff section is created, the round heel section may be used as a starting heel point, to reference the heel position. Once the heel position is secured within or upon a sock in progress, a toe measurement section may used to indicate where the sock in progress should be tapered down to conform to a predetermined foot size.
 In a disclosed embodiment, sock construction or garment knitting may start at a cuff and then proceed to a leg section. The cuff section is optional. The lengths of the cuff and/or leg sections may be monitored and dictated by the measurement markings disposed upon a disclosed sock ruler.
 A curved heel section of a disclosed sock ruler overcome shortfalls in the art in many respects. A curved heel section tappers inwardly and thus comports to fitting inside of a cuff section during the knitting process. As the cuff section is of a concave shape, the curved heel section provides an internal measurement reference point without interfering with the kitted shape of the cuff.
 Knitting around the sock ruler allows for constant viewing of the sock ruler measurement lines without the need to pin or otherwise attach the sock ruler to the knitting project. The curved heel section overcomes shortfalls in the related art by providing an apex or apex section that may be easily positioned at the top part of a sock cuff. This apex to cuff positioning secures the ruler and allows for continues and convenient ruler viewing. While the sock cuff is being knitted, the curved heel section allows for the knitting of a traditional cuff that tappers inwardly toward the top.
 The straight longitudinal section, lower from the curved heel section may be used to measure the progress of a knitted leg section. A sock leg section may be attached just below a sock cuff section. Measurement lines upon a sock ruler may be used to determine the stopping point of the leg section. At the lower end of the sock leg section, a sock heel flap section may be started. Here again the curved heel section of the sock ruler overcomes shortfalls in the art by having an outer curvature that comports to classical sock components, whether the component is the cuff or the heel flap. As the heel flap is being knitted at the lower end of the leg section, the curved heel section may be placed at the transition point between the leg section and heel flap section.
 As a typical heel flap section is concave, the curved heel section of the sock ruler does not interfere with knitting. The curved heel section of the sock ruler allows the ruler to be inserted into the heel flap, thus usefully positioning the ruler for further measurements. As knitting of the heel flap progresses, the start of the foot section may begin, with the starting point found by reference to the measurement marking on the sock ruler. After a desired length of foot section is knitted, the toe section may be knitted. The sock ruler may act as a reference for starting the foot section to toe section transition. The sock ruler may be retained inside of the sock during knitting. Moreover, during and after the construction of the heel flap, the curved heel section of the sock ruler may stay in the heel flap and thus provide a secure and convenient measuring instrument.
 These and other objects and advantages will be made apparent when considering the following detailed specification when taken in conjunction with the drawings.

 FIG. 1 depicts a sock or stocking measurement tool 100 in general. A sock ruler 100 may comprise a curved heel section 120, adjacent to cuff indicia 140 or measurement lines used to construct a sock cuff at a desired length. In the sample shown, cuff measurement lines 140 are shown at distances from the curved heel section 120 to be one inch, two inches and three inches, while other distances and/or increments are contemplated.
 FIG. 1 further depicts a toe measurement section 160 or a heel to toe section. The toe measurement section 160 may comprise a plurality of toe measurement markings 180 or indicia to assist in creating a sock of a desired foot size. In the shown example, six to nine inches is measured out in half inch increments upon the toe measurement section while other distances and or increments are contemplated.
 FIG. 2 depicts a sock 200 or stocking in progress constructed upon a disclosed sock ruler. A sock may comprise a cuff 210 and a leg section 220.
 In general, the disclosed embodiments assist in creating socks or similar items using a curved heel section 120 as a starting point for both sock cuff lengths and foot lengths. The dual functions of the curved heel section 120 present new efficiencies in clothing tools and in methods of clothing construction. The curved shape of the curved heel section 120 assists a user in orientating the sock ruler 100 and in remembering which end is which. The curved heel section mirrors the natural curve of human heel, and hence acts as a natural and intuitive reference point for heel to toe measurements. The multiple lines of toe measurement markings 180 provide assistance in informing a user of where a sock should start to become narrower so as to produce an end product with a correct overall length and correct shape.
 Ruler systems of any size are contemplated and include child sized ruler systems.
 FIG. 3 depicts a disclosed sock ruler 101 comprising a curved heel section 120 that may comprise an apex 123. The curved heel section 120 may transition into a straight section 130 at a transition point 125. The transition point 125 overcomes shortfalls in the art by enabling the curved heal section 120 that comports to construction of a cuff and heel flap. A disclosed sock ruler may have measurement marks or measurement indicia 110 from the apex 124 to the flat end section 190.
 FIG. 4 depicts a disclosed embodiment 101 being used to construct a sock cuff 210 and a sock leg section 220. The lower end of the sock leg section 220 is shown to be constructed over a straight section 130 of the sock ruler. The curved heel section of the sock ruler is not visible and is covered by the sock cuff section 210.
 FIG. 5 depicts a disclosed sock ruler 101 placed in front of a nearly completed sock 200. A disclosed sock ruler is shown with a curved heel section 120, a longitudinal axis 113 or lengthwise portion, a crosswise axis 115 or width section and a flat end 190.
 FIG. 6 depicts a disclosed sock ruler 101 inserted into a sock foot section 240 and sock heel flap section 230. The sock heel flap section 230 is attached to a sock leg section 220 and a sock cuff section 210 is attached to the sock leg section. The curved heel section of the sock ruler is not visible and is pressed into the sock heel flap section 230. This method of sock fabrication takes advantage of the concave shape of the curved heel section of the sock ruler. As shown, the sock ruler stays in the sock during construction and is thus readily available for viewing. Thus, the sock ruler is easy to see during knitting. In FIG. 6, the end of the foot section is easy to measure as the sock ruler is secured in place by use of the curved heel section.
 FIG. 7 may be considered a bottom view of FIG. 6 and depicts a disclosed sock ruler used in knitting a foot and heel flap section of a sock. As described above, measurement markings 110 assist in knitting the sock foot section 240 to a desired length.
 FIG. 8 depicts a sock in progress and shows a heel flap section 230, sock leg section 220 and a sock cuff section 210.
 FIG. 9 depicts a perspective view of a sock being knitted with a sock ruler 101 inserted into a sock heel flap 230.
 Disclosed embodiments include the following items.
 1. A sock ruler 101 having a curved heel section 120 useful for knitting a sock cuff section 210 and a sock heel flap section 230 and a straight section 130 useful for knitting a sock leg section 220 and a sock foot section 240, the sock ruler comprising:

Waste Heat Recovery Units (WHRUs) work by recovering the thermal energy from the hot exhaust and gases discharged by industrial equipment such as incinerators and turbines. This energy is then repurposed to heat other media and materials, including asphalt and oil. WHRUs are available in various designs and styles.
By capturing heat that would otherwise go to waste, WHRUs allow facilities to use that energy for other applications, making them a valuable addition to various industries. They can greatly improve the overall efficiency of industrial plants.
Why Use Industrial Waste Heat Recovery Systems?
Using heat exchanger systems for industrial waste heat recovery is a simple method to enhance facility efficiency. With vast expertise in this field, Sigma Thermal collaborates with clients from diverse industries to develop innovative, profitable waste heat recovery solutions.
In addition to repurposing high-temperature waste streams, our solutions can recover and reuse low-temperature heat using heat pumps. This technology is used in heat recovery from wastewater, seawater, and data centers, where surplus heat is utilized for district heating.
The Waste Heat Recovery Cycle Explained
A waste heat recovery cycle is a sustainable and cost-effective way to reuse thermal energy from the exhaust gas of industrial plants. It utilizes an intermediate fluid, such as oil or pressurized steam or water, to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to the organic fluid in the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) evaporator. The organic fluid vaporizes, expanding and generating high-pressure steam that drives the turbine. The turbine, in turn, powers the generator, producing electricity that can be utilized in the plant.
After completing its work in the turbine, the vaporized organic fluid goes through the cycle again. It moves to the condenser, where it’s cooled and turned back into a liquid before passing through the pump and beginning the cycle once more. This process enables plants to reuse the waste heat that would otherwise be lost and convert it into useful energy, reducing overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Once a viable source of waste heat has been identified, a consumer of the available waste heat must also be identified. Typical consumers include:
Electricity production using an Organic Rankine Cycle generator (ORC).
Preheating of incoming combustion air for combustion systems on the waste heat source.
Plant process heating like heat exchangers, tank heating, or reactor vessels.
Building heat for HVAC purposes.
Any exhaust gas stream with temperatures above 450°F has the potential for significant waste heat recovery. Typical Producers include:
Exhaust from Furnaces
Waste Heat Recovery Units (WHRUs) recover thermal energy from the hot exhaust and gases discharged by industrial equipment (i.e. incinerators, turbines). The energy is then repurposed to heat other media and materials.

Benefits of an Industrial Waste Heat Recovery System
Here are some advantages of industrial waste heat recovery systems:
Save on everyday fuel consumption: Capturing and reusing waste heat lets companies significantly reduce consumption of new energy sources such as electricity and natural gas. This reduction in energy consumption not only translates into cost savings but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
Repurposing harmful emissions: Certain waste gases generated in industrial processes are toxic and can’t be released directly into the environment without proper treatment, such as incineration. Rather than simply disposing of incinerated waste, companies can use waste heat recovery systems to repurpose the waste in a way that boosts their facility’s productivity.
Sell carbon credits back to industry: Carbon credits can be sold to other companies or entities seeking to offset their own carbon emissions. By incentivizing carbon reduction in this way, waste heat recovery systems can contribute to a more sustainable future while also providing a potential revenue stream for companies.
Eligible for state and/or federal funding: Waste heat recovery systems are a strong candidate for state and federal funding programs, as they contribute to reducing carbon emissions. These programs often offer grants, tax credits, loans, or rebates for businesses that invest in energy-saving technologies.

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited Model 206A Series, 206B Series, 206L Series, 407, and 427 Helicopters
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-07-52 and supersedes Emergency AD 2009-07-51, issued March 17, 2009, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 206A series, 206B series, 206L series, 407, and 427 helicopters by individual letters. This AD requires, before further flight, inspecting each cyclic control lever assembly (lever assembly) that has less than 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) to determine if it is correctly installed and properly staked in the lever assembly. This amendment is prompted by a Transport Canada AD report of a bearing incorrectly installed in the copilot lever assembly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of a bearing, failure of the lever assembly, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Adams: Do New York City’s Mayoral Candidates Care About Education? Judging From Last Week’s Democratic Debate, You’d Never Know It
Get essential education news and commentary delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up here for The 74’s daily newsletter.
There are over 1 million students in the New York City public school system, which presumably translates to at least 1 million potential voters in the June 22 Democratic mayoral primary. Considering that, in 2017, only 1,097,846 citizens voted for mayor, and an even smaller 76,361 cast their ballots for the ultimate winner, Bill de Blasio, you would think the 2021 candidates would be eagerly courting those who care about education.
But that wasn’t the case at the June 2 debate, hosted by WABC-TV. The issue didn’t even come up until 50 minutes into the televised portion of the debate — and the bulk of the discussion took place in the second hour, which only streamed on WABC’s digital platform. It’s likely the majority of prospective voters who tuned in never got to see it.
Even then, the issues most parents whom I speak to care about — the potential end of gifted and talented programs, unscreened middle schools, teacher quality, facilities maintenance and admissions to the specialized high schools — never came up.
The eight candidates on the stage repeatedly promised free child care (which, admittedly, is what many families use schools for, but that’s not an education issue, per se.) The most interesting thing about their approach to education was that, when it came to traditional public schools, they were more alike than they were different. Scott Stringer said he would designate more money for afterschool programming. Kathryn Garcia would reappropriate $130 million dollars from the City Hall budget to put two teachers in every classroom and increase arts education. Maya Wiley promised to hire 2,500 new teachers and lower class sizes. Andrew Yang would place 10,000 tutors in schools.
It all came down to: More money will mean better education, whether that’s more teachers, more arts and extracurricular activities or more personal tutors.
Of all the candidates on the stage, Eric Adams was the one who hammered education points home the most, invoking his own experience of having dyslexia as a child and thinking he couldn’t learn, being bused to Bayside High School, where he saw what a well-resourced school was like compared to the ones in his Queens neighborhood, and reminding that 65 percent of NYC’s Black and brown children couldn’t do math or read on grade level.
But Stringer jumped on him for accepting money from charter school advocates and accused him of wanting to “privatize education.”
In fact, charter schools was pretty much the only place where they showed any differentiation when it came to education.
Adams unequivocally stated his support for lifting the cap on how many charter schools could open in NYC, as a way of “scaling up excellence.” Garcia also agreed to lift the cap, in order to put children, not adults first. Morales took the opposite position, saying Black and brown children were disproportionately harmed by charter schools. She wanted to “improve public schools” so that families didn’t feel they needed to “resort to charters.” Stringer repeated the long debunked argument that charter schools siphon money from public schools, and as the parent of two children in public school, he was against that. (He did not mention that both of his sons attend a gifted program outside their zoned school, which also siphons money from zoned schools and is one of the reasons why advocates want G&T programs shut down.)
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten likely agrees, as, a few days after the debate, she tweeted out:
I’m incredibly disappointed to see Kathryn Garcia go this route with charters. She’s embraced the unacceptable policy of lifting the charter cap in NYC. Now.. Two minutes be4 early voting starts. Wondering why? . https://t.co/QIEhMtuLkM
— Randi Weingarten (@rweingarten) June 3, 2021
Why all the focus on charter schools? Unlike the million-plus kids enrolled in traditional public schools, just 150,000 NYC children attend a charter, with 163,000 students currently on charter school waitlists.
Is it because talking about charter schools is easier than discussing the important but difficult issues actually concern the majority of NYC families? Not to mention the nagging fact that, despite all the shifting around of deck chairs on the Titanic, half of NYC kids still don’t read or do math at grade level (with those numbers even more tragic among children of color)?
Those are all complicated issues, with multiple, interlocking causes and a plethora of possible solutions. On the other hand, whether to lift the charter cap sounds like a pretty simple question, a binary yes or no, with no nuance, on an issue that most voters know little about, care little about and are affected by not at all.
And that’s how you get (potentially 1 million) votes, while claiming to care about education.

Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Kostas Karamanlis is visiting the construction site of the Thessaloniki Metro and announced that the project is at its final stage and will be put into operation at the end of 2023.
“The Metropolitan will change the face of the city and significantly improve the daily life of citizens,” the minister emphasized after visiting the Project Management and Operation Center located in Pilaya.
“Today we have the great pleasure of being in the depot at the new Attiko Metro offices and in the control center. As you can see, the test routes started normally. We are in the final phase of a project that, let me tell you, has already become the talk of the town. A project that should have been completed many years ago but never materialized. The work of the subway will really change the city, improve the daily life of the citizens,” said Mr. Karamanlis.
Noting that with the first day of taking office in the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, a tough specific schedule was set. At the same time, Mr. Karamanlis noted that “there is rarely a timetable for such complex projects. But it had to be done. And now even the most skeptical people admit that the work is coming to an end.”
During a tour of the Thessaloniki metro station, which covers an area of 1,200 square meters and will employ about 350 people, information was given on how the movement of 18 trains, which will run without a driver, will be controlled electronically.
Mr. Karamanlis also stressed that Thessaloniki metro stations will be among the most modern in Europe and will beautify not only the city, but the whole of Greece, combining the motifs “ancient Greece with a modern face of the country”.
