Congress returns this week with a big task: hammer out another pandemic rescue package that will help businesses and the struggling economy stay afloat over the next several months. It’s a high-pressure debate, landing months before Americans head to the ballot box and just days before roughly 32 million people relying on jobless aid will see their benefits drop.
This Saturday, the $600 weekly additional unemployment benefit created under the March CARES Act will expire — cutting laid-off workers’ checks by 50 to 80 percent, depending on where they live.
Following recent spikes in coronavirus case numbers and new business restrictions in several states, the GOP has warmed up to the idea of extending the additional jobless aid in the next package, but not at $600 a week. White House domestic policy chief Brooke Rollins said during a POLITICO Live interview Thursday that the Trump administration is on board with such discussions but didn’t name a dollar amount it would support.
President Donald Trump is also demanding that Congress include a payroll tax cut and coronavirus liability protections for businesses in the next package. “I would consider not signing it if we don’t have a payroll tax cut, yes,” Trump said on Fox News Sunday. But the tax reduction doesn’t seem to be gaining traction. Senate Finance Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has signaled he doesn’t like the idea, and House Democrats have called it a nonstarter.
Less of a certainty in the next round of relief: whether Republicans will support sending additional aid to state and local governments. Rollins said the idea of sending money to states and cities to help balance budgets, preserve public-sector jobs and ensure that municipal services keep running is “under consideration” — but she warned that the White House is wary of bailing out states that have been acting irresponsibly.
On worker safety protections, some GOP members of Congress are pushing their leaders this week to pair a bill forcing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue an emergency temporary Covid-19 workplace safety standard with liability protections in the next coronavirus aid package. But Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said such a move would not get the business group’s support if it required strict new regulations.
“It would depend on how the OSHA standard is framed,” Bradley said during Thursday’s POLITICO event. “Are we talking about a regulatory approach that looks a lot like typical OSHA regulations? There’s no way that’s going to be workable.”

HOW MUCH JOBLESS AID? House Democrats have already passed legislation extending the CARES Act’s enhanced unemployment program through January. But Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, hasn’t ruled out a compromise on the actual dollar amount. “We’ll have to see what the offer is,” Scott said at the same POLITICO event, adding that the current program is working and has been “an essential part” of the economy’s recovery so far.
The Chamber of Commerce said in a letter to lawmakers Thursday that it would back a policy offering up to $400 in extra weekly benefits to help replace 80-90 percent of workers’ prior wages, and less for states that are unable to update their systems to calculate each worker’s weekly earnings.
GOP lawmakers “have discussed proposing the federal benefit be cut from an additional $600 per week to between $200 per week and $400 per week,” Jeff Stein and Erica Werner report for The Washington Post. “The lower number is viewed as the likelier outcome in their bill, although aides cautioned negotiations are fluid and details remain in flux.”

MAJORITY OF VOTERS SUPPORT $50B CHILD CARE INFUSION, POLL FINDS: More than 8 in 10 voters favor an investment of $50 billion in the next coronavirus aid package, a poll released today by the Center for American Progress finds. The support crosses party lines, with 97 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of independents and 77 percent of Republicans in favor.
What to watch for on the Hill: House Democrats are prepping two proposals for the floor that together would allocate more than $60 billion to the child care industry. Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are mulling spending levels closer to $25 billion. A plan released by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) last week would appropriate no new money at all.
AUTOMATIC PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS FOR SMALL COMPANIES? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told lawmakers on Friday that they should consider automatic forgiveness for many loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, our Victoria Guida reported.
“Should we just have forgiveness for all the small loans?” Mnuchin said before the House Small Business Committee. “That’s something we should consider. We should obviously make sure there’s some fraud protection.”
WHAT’S NEXT: The small business aid program, which offers forgivable loans to companies to that keep their workforce on their payroll, is scheduled to end Aug. 8. But a bill that would stop just short of automatic forgiveness for loans of $150,000 and under is gaining bipartisan support, our Zachary Warmbrodt reports. The Trump administration also supports adding more funds to the PPP program, as well as allowing the hardest-hit businesses to get a second payment, according to Mnuchin.
CONTEXT: More than 80 percent of the transactions under the PPP program stood below the $150,000 threshold, and more than 4.7 million businesses have taken the loans. Roughly $130 billion remains unspent.

WIDESPREAD WAGE CUTS: “Millions of Americans who managed to hold onto their jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic have seen their incomes drop as employers slashed wages and hours to weather what they expected to be a short-term shutdown,” our Megan Cassella reports.
Amid employer’s fears that the economic recovery is slipping, pay cuts that were meant to be temporary could turn permanent — or even pave the way for further layoffs, she writes. “That could portend deep damage to the labor market and the economy because so many workers who have kept their jobs have less money to spend than a few months ago.”
At least 4 million U.S. workers have received pay cuts since February even as they continued working the same job, and millions more have seen pay freezes, according to economists from the Federal Reserve and University of Chicago.
Combined with those who have been forced to log fewer hours, 20 million people — or 1 in 8 workers — have seen their paychecks shrink over the past few months even as they continued to work.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MUST RESUME PROCESSING DACA APPLICATIONS: A federal court on Friday told the Trump administration to begin accepting new applications to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — something it hasn’t done since the Supreme Court’s ruling last month, Joel Rose reported for NPR.
The Trump administration had “only been processing DACA renewals,” Rose writes, even after the high court ruled the administration’s move to end the program was improper.
"This means that the administration not only must continue protections for current recipients, but .... that it must also accept new applications," Ali Noorani, president and CEO of the National Immigration Forum, told NPR.
Last week, Trump said he would soon sign a merit-based “new immigration action” that would address the legal status of DACA recipients. But the details of such a proposal have yet to be seen.
APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ASYLUM POLICY: A federal appeals court Friday upheld a ruling that blocked a Trump administration policy that would have effectively barred women fleeing domestic abuse and gang violence from claiming asylum in the U.S., our Matthew Choi reports. The case was brought by 12 asylum-seekers, represented by the ACLU and the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, who argued that the administration's policies would raise the standards for asylum far beyond Congress' intentions.
BACKGROUND: Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions moved in the summer of 2018 to narrow the grounds for asylum, arguing that victims of spousal abuse and gang violence did not qualify for asylum status. A U.S. district court blocked the policy in December 2018, and on Friday, the appeals court's three-judge panel backed key aspects of that ruling.
NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR BLACK LIVES: Tens of thousands of workers in more than 25 cities across the country will participate in strikes, rallies and walkouts today demanding “corporations and government take action to confront systemic racism in our society, economy and workplaces,” several labor organizations and civil rights groups announced.
The event, called the “Strike for Black Lives,” was organized by the SEIU, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, American Federation of Teachers, United Farm Workers and several other public advocacy groups, like the Movement for Black Lives.

@majj_11, if you are considering purchasing a complete board, take a look at this one instead:
You would mount it in the existing control panel. The split-core CT will snap around the motor wire verses routing the wire to the NCD board. You also get to customize your AMP rating for increased measurement accuracy. If the control panel has a DC source (usually 24VDC) , use it to power the NCD board & Electron and don’t worry about Sleeping.
If the motor is turning a pump, you can relate the AMPs to the amount of work being performed (gallons, GPM, etc). Obviously you can track min/max AMPS, run-times, etc.
It’s worth mentioning that you can monitor up to 6 motors (various NCD Boards w/ different # of channels) from 1 board, which makes a project like this more cost effective per motor monitored.
I appoligize for the Scope Creep and getting way off topic.
This direction isn’t a “tiny box stuck to the side of the motor”.
Your previous plan would be much better for that goal .
I can see the benifit in both, but majj_11’s acceelerometer approach has most of my attention.
I believe the decision point is invasive (current sensor, even if its clip on you still have to open up equipment enclosures to clip it on to something) vs. non-invasive (sensor pack is slapped on via magnets and you are done). To clarify, I am assuming battery power for either case.
Of course, the non-invasive acceelerometer will take more data filtering and manipulation to output helpful data metrics that are actually useful to determine equipment status (on / off) and health (increased vibration over time, etc.). I don’t know if this level of data filtering and manipulation is possible to create an equally robust data output when compared to the invasive split-core CT.
If you’re looking for true vibration monitoring for a predictive maintenance program, then you’re better off with a combined inertial module.
There are several finished wireless products on the market for vibration monitoring, but most use BLE for comms .
well, it depends on the application, for example if the application is not critical i.e. they don’t care about data like in my application, the main requirement is when the motor ON and when its OFF, so if i set up a low cost vibration sensor or accelerometer “advantage here its “built in” in asset tracker” so we can setup a threshold depends on the motor size. i.e. when vibration > 1G then the motor is ON, else the motor is OFF.
The LIS3DH has built-in filtering. If you select a high-pass filter you mostly eliminate the effect of gravity and only get movement/vibration above the filter’s cut-off frequency.
Thank you very much @tve , could you explain more on how to choose that filter and activate it if its the right word, it will amazing to have that filter in my application.
Have you read the official datasheet (Section 8.9) and application note Section 4.3?
1: You are trying to detect motor rotation. If the motor is well balanced, it may not vibrate much so other vibrations may cause false indications.
2: A current transformer may indicate current when a motor is stalled, but the motor is not actually rotating.
If indeed you want to sense if a motor is rotating or not use a shaft encoder of some type to detect shaft rotation directly. This can be a magnet / hall effect sensor combo or a photo interrupter wheel and photo transistor / led sensor or a variable reluctance sensor like is used on ABS brakes.
For reliable sensing, try to directly sense the parameter you are interested in, as opposed to sensing a secondary parameter which is less likely to be correlated as well as the first parameter. (For instance a motor would also heat up when used, so you could use a temperature sensor, but environmental changes could give false indications.)
Hope this helps.
I’d like to suggest a vibration sensor instead of an accelerometer or inertial sensor. Specifically a rolling ball sensor. I had an application recently where I was trying to detect a motor through vibration, and I used a rolling ball sensor without any problems. Essentially it acts like a switch, so just put a pullup or pulldown on there, set up the GPIO as an interrupt, and then you can use the number and frequency of interrupts to determine whether it’s running or not. The best part is that it consumes VERY little power depending on your pull value.
The specific part number I’ve been working with (because I needed very small) is Sensolute SEN-MVS0608.02 or SEN-MVS0409.02.
Thanks @bobbaddeley, vibration sensor is really good and i have used it before, its low cost and it does the job but one of the disadvantages in my situation its not compact system, that is why i prefer to use for example accelerometer because its built in with asset tracker, so in industrial application you are looking for something “robust”.
This is my point of view.
yes totally agree, its the best to measure directly, but again how critical the application, that make big difference.
Even for non-critical applications it is better to use sound engineering practices. People get very frustrated when things don’t operate as expected. I.E. it is obvious the motor is rotating, why does this thing think it is not?
@araasch, you make an excellent point regarding critical or non-critical monitoring in the sense that if the resulting metric is wrong people will not trust the system violating the whole purpose of the system.
Also, a few days ago you make the case for reliable sensing via direct parameters vs. secondary parameters. Regarding @majj_11’s project, is it possible to combine the data from two secondary parameters to produce a synthetic parameter that has near equal robustness of a primary parameter?
For example, if you are measuring the status (On or Off) of a simple exhaust fan like this:
If acceelerometer is above the set tolerance and a pressure sensor is reading air pressure from the fan discharge, the fan motor is on.
Agree, but accelerometer is not a primary, or secondary. It is tertiary at best. I.E. a perfect motor would not vibrate. If 5 % of the production motors were of high quality, these motors would last the longest, yet would not be detected to be rotating by detecting accelerometer output. If the motor drove a fan and you wanted to use a secondary parameter sensor to detect this one could use a differential pressure sensor with one of its ports on the input plenum, the other on the output plenum. An alternate sensor would be to detect the position of a moving vane that is spring loaded in the output air stream. The position of the vane would be proportional to the amount of air that was being moved.
Agree with the simplest direct solution - e.g, - I have used vane sensors for airflow monitoring successfully and the side benefit is that you do not compromise the installed system in any way as you don’t need to attach, insert or otherwise interfere with someone else’s equipment ( and warranty )
yes @shanevanj, that is the point, no need to interfere with someone else equipment, and in my case i have asked what access do i have, the answer is non, so it has to be a complete an independent system.
@shanevanj, you hit on one of my main concerns of monitoring someone else’s equipment. The second you modify or interface with something you become “the last person who touch it” if that equipment ever fails. For this reason, I think we should be more drawn to independent systems as @majj_11 states. Independent meaning self powered, non-invasive sensing.


Believe it or not, much of human civilization is dependent on heat movements within the earth. They dictate energy sources, power cities, and even affect lives through natural disasters. These double-edged gifts of nature need ample monitoring for efficiency and safety. In this article, we will look at point clouds for geothermal activity.
What is Geothermal Activity?
Geothermal activity refers to any movement due to heat inside the earth’s core. It comes from two words, geo which means earth, and there meaning heat. Our world’s mantle never stops shifting and moving due to heat conduction and convection. Thus, geothermal energy is widely considered clean and renewable energy that does not deplete.
Despite this “friendly” side of geothermal activity, it can also bring destruction. They can cause natural disasters such as volcanic earthquakes, eruptions, and landslides. It is crucial to check such events, especially their effects on people.
Tracking and Monitoring
We categorize tracking geothermal activity into two. These are Energy Tracking and Disaster Tracking. True to its name, energy tracking tackles the generation of power through power plants and distribution lines. On the other hand, disaster tracking handles the forces of nature.
Engineers and surveyors traditionally used manual means to do such tasks. However, they proved to be inefficient and time-consuming. Thanks to modern technology, we now have point cloud and LiDAR in our hands. This is how ScanX, a point cloud-processing software, benefits from tracking geothermal activity.
ScanX for Geothermal Activity
ScanX has everything you need to track these movements. Ours is a cloud-based app that you can access just using any type of browser. Through this, you can have an exact 3D Representation of any site. Here are our features fit for monitoring:
Our automatic classification works well for geothermal powerplant surveying. It can determine and extract vegetation, ground, building, and noise elements in mere minutes. Not only that but it is also used to generate Digital Surface and Terrain Models for your convenience
Another powerful feature that we have is the powerline survey. We can protect important powerlines against unwanted contact with different elements such as trees. No need to measure or monitor by foot or car when you can do it through drone and point clouds.
This feature is crucial in the case of eruption aftermath. One can determine the extent of damage by using canopy segmentation. It helps in tracking the number of trees, as well as their respective trunk diameters. Thus, it handles disaster recovery and forest preservation in one go.
Fast Segmentation for Disaster Recovery
In the case of a severe disaster, ScanX aids in the search and rescue effort. By sending a drone to scan an area and processing it through ScanX, better rescue decisions are made on-site. This results in more efficient workflows and faster responses from the authorities.

I loved being in a singles ward. I know that there are a lot of people who do not enjoy that experience, but I felt that it was really fun to have so many people together who happened to be in similar places in their lives. However one of the difficulties that could rise was the fact that many of us were young, and thus sometimes the dialogue in Sunday school and in other meetings could be a little immature. I had one experience where we were in Elders Quorum, and before the lesson began, some of the members of our quorum were joking and for what seemed like an extremely long time they made fun of the great and abominable church which they deemed to be the Catholic Church, as well as made comments about other religions. I am also sad to say that this has not been the only time that I have heard these times of comments in a church setting.
However I feel that most people do not feel this way, and can recognize the incredible amount of good and truth that other religions have, and yet I think more common is an uncomfortable ambivalence in how we are to act towards those who believe differently from ourselves. My hope is that as we attempt to be good friends and neighbors, we can move past this need to make ourselves better than others, and instead seek merely to be kind and loving towards those in our lives. Sister Okazaki made a great related point when she asked the following question. “How . . . do we put the Savior first without putting down other people or their religions? We don’t have to insist on being right all the time. When my parents drank tea, I sat with them and drank hot water. Make compromises. Find ways to Minimize the areas of conflict. Don’t retaliate. After all, you want your family to see that you’re a better, happier person as a result of belonging to the Church.”

Coffee consumption may lower the risk of colorectal cancer, according to findings from a new study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Researchers from the University of Southern Califonia (USC) Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of Keck Medicine conducted a large, population-based study in over 5,100 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer within the past 6 months, as well as 4,000 controls with no history of colorectal cancer. Study patients reported daily consumption of boiled (espresso), instant, decaffeinated and filtered coffee, as well as consumption of other liquids.
RELATED: Cancer Deaths Declining by 1.5% a Year in the U.S.
Stephen Gruber, MD, PhD, MPH, and senior author of the study, stated that drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, “and the more coffee consumed, the lower the risk.” Moderate coffee consumption (1-2 servings/day) led to a 26% reduction in the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer after adjusting for known risk factors. This risk decreased up to 50% when study patients drank >2.5 servings/day; the reduced risk was seen for all types of coffee.
Researchers explained the various elements in coffee that may contribute to colorectal health, citing how caffeine and polyphenol act as antioxidants and limit the growth of potential colon cancer cells. Additionally, the melanoidins generated during the roasting process may encourage colon mobility, and diterpenes may prevent cancer by enhancing defense against oxidative damage.
Though study findings were suggestive in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer, more data is needed before establishing coffee consumption as a preventive measure, they added.

SEAWORLD ENTERTAINMENT, INC. showed marginal outperformance on Tuesday. It increased by +0.43% to close at 27.82. It is currently trading +117% above it's 52 week low of 12.82 and is down only -14% from it's 52 week high.
Buy-and-Hold investors in SEAS experienced a maximum drawdown of -26.78% over the last three months. It fell by -13.33% during this strong bearish trending period. There were both Long and Short signals during this period, where the short signals were significantly more profitable than the long signals.
SEAS has been outperforming the SP500 index in recent time. It showed significant outperformance (compared to the SP500 index) from 22 Nov, 2017 to 13 Sep, 2018. Over the last 2 years 11 months and 7 days, SEAS outperformed the SP500 index on 52% days.
During the last three months SEAS was mostly loss making and delivered on average -0.19% per day. It's best return during this period (of +7.65%) was on Wednesday, 21 Nov, 2018. While it's worst loss in the same period (of -6.66%) was on Wednesday, 24 Oct, 2018. The longest stort-term trends during this period were 6 profitable and losing days. The bullish trend (which returned +15.54%) started on 21 Nov, 2018 and went on till 29 Nov, 2018 while the bearish trend (which returned -16.5%) started on 17 Oct, 2018 and went on till 24 Oct, 2018.
During the last year SEAS had 8 profitable months and 4 loss making months. Profitable number of months of SEAS and SP500 index were the same. SEAS significantly outperformed SP500 index in Aug 2018, when it returned +37.65% compared to +4.75% returned by SP500 index during it's best month in the last one year - Jan 2018. SEAS had a shorter streak of profitable months than SP500 index. It only went up in 4 straight months during the last year.
"The man who begins to speculate in stocks with the intention of making a fortune usually goes broke, whereas the man who trades with a view of getting good interest on his money sometimes gets rich.
SEAS is currently seeing overall fall in volatility. In comparison, the SP500 index is seeing increase in volatility. During the last three months, there was a significant surge in SEAS's volatility from 14 Sep, 2018 to 7 Nov, 2018. While there was a significant surge in the SP500 index's volatility from 14 Sep, 2018 to 29 Oct, 2018.
Advanced/professional short-term investors should note that SEAS has positive skewness in it's return distribution. This indicates that investors can expect SEAS to make attempts to recover from drawdowns quickly. Which makes SEAS a good candidate for momentum based trading on short-term bullish trends or counter-trends.
On a general note (since you are interested in SEAS), if you are an investor in VIPS, you need to be extra careful (consider limiting your exposure or diversifying) as it is extremely unpredictable and therefore risky.

text: The lending environment in the UAE has improved markedly since the beginning of the year, as the interest rate that banks charge each other to borrow has been brought down. The gap between the UAE three-month interbank rate and the US three-month interbank rate has narrowed to about 124 basis points, the smallest since 2008, according to Bloomberg data. That shows liquidity is improving and banks are in a better shape to lend. This is welcome news for borrowers after the credit crunch . The interbank rate matters because banks commonly use it as a benchmark to price their deposit and lending rates. Increased deposits and numerous bond issues have boosted liquidity in an over-lent financial system, lowering the interbank rate, bankers say. The central bank has also played a role in bringing the rate down, according to the bankers. \"As liquidity is returning, we\'re going back to the normal days,\" says Mahdi Mattar, chief economist at CAPM Investments. \"It\'s definitely positive for the economy. Liquidity has come back to the system and risk-aversion has eased.\" Article continues below Political unrest that has swept the Middle East has benefited the UAE, as regional investors have sought a safe haven for their funds. It has also attracted more tourists to the country, boosting the retail sector. As a result, the economy is forecast to grow 3.9 per cent this year from 1.7 per cent last year, the fastest pace since 2008, according to HSBC estimates. Furthermore, UAE companies have also been active in debt capital markets, signalling that investors are more comfortable with their bonds. UAE entities have issued about 95 per cent of the dollar bonds issued in the Middle East and North Africa this year, says HSBC. \"There\'s an equilibrium being restored in the market,\" says Nick Stadtmiller, fixed-income analyst at Emirates NBD. So far this month, the interbank spread has narrowed much less than the previous month, and the month before, showing that the pace of decline is slowing, according to Stadtmiller. The spread is analysed because the UAE dirham is pegged to the dollar. However, just because it has become cheaper to lend to customers, it does not necessarily mean that banks are lending out, added Mattar.

Every year my daughter and I get crafty and make handmade gifts for all of the grandparents. It is my way of teaching my girls that not all gifts need to be store bought, and the sentiment behind a homemade gift is extra special.
The gift we made last year went over so well that I wanted to share my easy tutorial with you. If you are anything like me and you are still scrambling to find the perfect item to make, this is a great and easy option.
It’s truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Holiday events and Christmas light displays around every corner, there is nothing more magical! With two small girls and FA-LA-LA-LA-LAmazing Arizona weather, there is nothing better than wondering around neighborhoods enjoying the sparkle of the season. I love bundling up in scarfs and gloves, (with a warm latte in hand, of course) and sharing the joy of Christmas with my hubby and our girls. But let’s be honest, by the time we all get home from our chilly adventure everyone is hangry! I want to share with you my secret to enjoying a great night out and a peaceful and warm homecoming. Thanks to Paula Deen’s Potato Soup recipe, we all can come home to a hot crock pot of heaven. Literally, it is amazing! This recipe is extremely simple, only a few ingredients and with the ease of crockpot cooking, we can let the crockpot do all of the heavy lifting while we are out making memories with our little ones. Amen!
Christmas cards are filling up my mailbox and I could’t be more excited! I absolutely love displaying our loved ones Christmas Cards for all to see, it is probably one of my favorite aspects of Christmas decorating. This year I decided instead of purchasing a Christmas card holder or throwing all of our cards into a bowl, that I would get creative and make my own. I visited my nearby Hobby Lobby store to get some inspiration, and ended up leaving with an easy and perfect project to create, (because lets be real, who doesn’t love a good holiday inspired craft project?!)
In my home, Christmas decorating has a way of jumpstarting the Holiday spirit! This year I decided to decorate early, because I wanted to enjoy the spirit of Christmas for more than just a month. The holidays have always been special to me, but I had no idea how much better the season would be when shared with my kiddos! There is something about watching their eyes light up as they plug in the Christmas tree each day, or the joy Paisley has when she belts out her 3-yr old rendition of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”… truly a special time of year!
I am that girl. You know, the one that gushes over the Pottery Barn Holiday Catalog every year when it comes in the mail. You have to agree, it is filled with the most lovely and desirable home touches, but I am not always willing to spend the pretty penny those price tags demand. That is why I love to create a personalized item in its place. Something similar that looks just as nice as the one you see in a fancy catalog, but in the end is extra special because it has your own personalized touch. A personalized stocking is one item I had to have, but with the help of a little creativy I was able to do so on a reasonable budget.

If you are unable to attend the opening ceremonies of Raining, I mean, Walkway Over the Hudson, you can still see the entire opening festivities a Saturday online from the dry, dry comforts of your home.
The link is http://www.totalwebcasting.
Opening performers include folk legeng Pete Seeger of Beacon and Highland's Voices of Glory, who placed fifth in "America's Got Talent". Gov. David Paterson will be on hand for the "Tying of the Knot" ceremony (and probably to say that, darn in, he's running for re-election no matter what everyone says).
The grand puppet procession across the river by 3,000 Ulster and Dutchess county volunteers is at 1 p.m.
Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome antique planes are expected to fly over the bridge at 2:30 p.m.
The Walkway is 212 feet above the river, and a mile and a quarter long. It is the longest pedestrian bridge in the world.
Robert Feldman of Total Webcasting is donating his services to provide the feed of the opening ceremonies and parade. The feed will also be archived online.
For more information about the grand opening and schedule of events, see www.Walkway.org

When I am working as a barista, and I brew Kenya AA coffee as our coffee of the day, I drink it black rather than my usual morning mocha. (Don’t tell John Weaver I have been drinking mochas)
I really enjoy the flavor and complexity of the Kenya AA Arabica coffee beans. It is amazing to me that coffee, when roasted properly can taste so different depending upon the origin, the way the coffee is handled from when it is picked from the tree, to the way it is processed and the way the coffee roaster roasts the coffee.
John Weaver uses different African Coffee beans in his roasting, as single-origin coffees and also in his Arabica African coffee blends. My mom is always making me taste the various coffee beans from unique coffee farms across the globe. Things get very hectic when we are at the tasting table, cupping different coffees, and even though the coffee is spat out into a spittoon, you still feel the caffeine for the rest of the day. Let’s just say our shipping department and the entire roasting process goes a lot faster after a coffee cupping at the Roastery.
Weaver’s Coffee & Tea prides itself on sourcing the highest quality Arabica coffees from different continents and then taking the time to hand-roast our green coffee beans into beautiful rich and luscious coffee. One of our top selling and truly loved single-origin coffee coffees is our Kenya AA coffee. We have many high-quality coffees, however, the coffees we source from Kenya and Ethiopia constitute two of my favorite coffee flavor profiles across our wide selection of twenty-four coffees.
John Weaver once told me that if you trace your finger around the equator, the regions in which your finger touches land tend to have the perfect climate and conditions for coffee growing.
While countries like Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia are examples of countries that export the highest volume of green coffee, surprisingly Germany and Switzerland come in third and fourth in exporting green coffee each year. However, those green coffee beans are re-exported from coffee-growing countries around the equator, meaning Germany and Switzerland rank high in exports without growing a single plant. These two countries source their green coffee from other countries and then redistribute the raw green coffees throughout Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.
When you start to research the business of coffee, the one thing you always come back to is that the African continent and particularly East Africa is the birthplace of coffee.
KIRINYAGA COUNTY | KENYA
Kenyan coffee enjoys a celebrated reputation for its bold and distinctive flavor. This coffee is selected because of it is the most intense and sophisticated. We have a special fondness for brilliant Kenya coffees with their wine-like acidity and ripe fruit flavors. This selection is from the Karani washing station, part of the larger Kabare Farmers Cooperative Society. The Karani AA has notes of lemon, sugar cane, mandarin orange, with a soft sweet finish.
Kenya’s geographic location is intersected by the equator creating near-perfect conditions for growing coffee. The warm sun combined with the fertile soil allows the coffee cherry to ripen under the region’s excellent coffee growing conditions. The coffee that we source from Kenya is as wild and bright as its East African Homeland. Exclusively Kenya, this medium-bodied coffee is bold with subtle nuances that light up the palate from front to back. John says you need to savor its brilliant acidity with a natural progression of flavors from grapefruit, orange, to blackberry, to a sublime wine grape, currant flavor.

KENYA COFFEE PROCESSING
Below is an interesting video on coffee processing in Kenya. Learning about how the coffee cherry goes from the coffee tree to your morning cup of coffee is very interesting, especially a Kenya AA coffee cherry. The red coffee cherries are picked, then sorted based upon color and ripeness and separated from sticks, leaves, or any other material potentially found in the picking baskets. Once the coffee cherries are sorted by the farmer they are then split by a machine to unwrap the green raw coffee bean from its casing. Once the coffee cherry is popped it is then separated from the green coffee bean and washed thoroughly to remove any potential excess casing on the bean. The coffee beans are then fermented where the beans are put into water to remove any excess casing and remove the parchment-like material casing that surrounds the coffee bean. Once the coffee beans are fermented, they are then transported into an underwater soak in which they sit for nearly 16-24 hours, this is termed as the two-stage fermentation process procedure which improves coffee quality. Following this stage, there is a final cleaning in which the coffee beans are washed to remove any final bits of casing still on the bean or dirt accrued throughout the process. Now the coffee farmer brings the green coffee bean to the exporter or, in the case that they do not have the machines to separate the bean from the cherry, they bring the coffee cherries to the coffee exporter who then does the aforementioned process in their place. Once the beans finish the water soak the coffee beans are then put out onto tables or tarps to dry in the warm African sun and turned until dry.
The coffee business is based on a complex trade economy in which the product you drink has been inspected every step of the way. The average coffee consumer does not understand the global commodity chain and the way coffee switches hands on its way to becoming your morning cup of coffee. By learning about how the coffee is grown, processed, and sold we are able to gain a better insight into what we are consuming, the quality of the coffee, the way it is processed and the freshness when you open the bag of coffee. While writing this blog I learned about the many stages of how a coffee cherry is handled from coffee farmer to your morning cup of coffee and I believe you will find it interesting as well.
The next time you visit one of our Weaver’s Coffee & Tea cafes or find yourself online looking at coffee blogs, tea blogs or coffee and tea recipes on our website, consider adding Kenya AA to your shopping cart. When brewed Kenya AA coffee fills the room with an incredible aroma, the fruity warmth of this unique flavor profile will transport you to the tropical climate of Kenya. Coffee beans begin their journey in Kenya as a plant, then they are harvested, properly processed and shipped all the way to California where they are hand-roasted by our master roaster John Weaver. There is a lot of people involved in the entire process. We are lucky enough to have the opportunity to purchase these green coffee beans and roast them into perfection for you. We look forward to hearing your reviews on Kenya AA, the best single-origin coffee you will taste in the new year.

The Ripple-SEC long-standing battle could have neared no finish however its impact on its native cryptocurrency could now be worse.
After the final ruling the place it appeared just like the cost processing firm was progressing, Ripple [XRP] grew to become the sufferer of an assault.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin led the assault on the cryptocurrency in what appeared like “payback time.”
Whereas applauding the Ethereum [ETH] neighborhood for resistance to regulation, Vitalik mentioned the plight of Ripple was to not be supported and XRP shouldn’t be protected.
XRP already misplaced their proper to safety once they tried to throw us below the bus as “China-controlled” imo:https://t.co/t6cbMtjsEV
— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) August 17, 2022
Treatment for damages
The remark didn’t go effectively with the crypto neighborhood, particularly on the XRP finish.
Nevertheless, Vitalik famous that he didn’t abruptly withdraw assist for the coin however has been avoiding the sixth-ranked cryptocurrency since its mum or dad firm called ETH “China-controlled.”
The occasion which occurred in December 2020, appears to not have left the thoughts of the ETH founder.
Vitalik was not the one crypto head concerned within the XRP smack. Initially, Bankless founder David Hoffman had taken a dig on the cryptocurrency.
Whereas questioning Canada’s current regulation to set purchase limits on Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and different altcoins, Hoffman had mentioned he wouldn’t have bothered in regards to the implications if it was simply XRP. He additional acknowledged,
“If that they had restricted XRP I wouldn’t have mentioned something.”
Curiously, the forwards and backwards didn’t finish at Vitalik’s rebuttal. Deaton Legislation Agency managing companion John Deaton, who can also be part of the XRP neighborhood, responded to Vialik’s remarks.
He noted that neither XRP nor its 72,000 holders ought to take the autumn for Ripple’s misdeeds.
He added that no matter occurred in 2020 was on the Ripple staff led by its founder, Brad Garlinghouse.
With Ethereum getting ready for its Merge, and Ripple hoping its case with the SEC closes quickly, not one of the cryptocurrencies appeared to have made a lot progress.
As for ETH worth, it has decreased. As per CoinMarketCap, it had dropped 0.57% to commerce at $1,856.81 at press time.
XRP, alternatively, had recorded a 1.57% uptick, buying and selling at $0.375.
There has additionally been a ten.98% decline in XRP quantity whereas ETH’s quantity didn’t decline a lot.
At press time, it was solely a 0.48% discount to $17.70 billion, suggesting that buying and selling exercise throughout ETH was just about energetic.

Des Plaines aldermen voted 8-0 Monday night to order city officials to update occupancy requirements for homes and apartments.
An ordinance would also require the licensing of single-family homes used as rental properties. It would also update current occupancy requirements for those residences.
A proposal from city staff is expected to be discussed again during the Nov. 6 City Council meeting.
"Some people live out of town and may rent out four, five or six houses here," said Ald. Wayne Elstner. "We need some guidelines here."
Community Development Director Michael D'Onofrio said his department has already implemented some measures to address the overcrowding issue.
Real estate transfer forms now require property owners to affirm that sleeping rooms are not permitted in basements. Housing inspection hours have been added in evenings and early morning to better find cases of overcrowding and other code violations, D'Onofrio said.
D'Onofrio added that Spanish-speaking police officers now accompany housing inspectors when needed. He added he would work with the Northwest Association of Realtors to better inform them about the city's occupancy requirements.
City Atty. David Wiltse said his staff has also increased its use of "long-form" complaints in housing court against "chronic violators," a move he said is more successful in eliciting injunctions, fines and cleanup orders.
In the past, violators of city code would get fines of $50 to $100 and then the homeowner would ignore the original problem, Wiltse said.

Follow signs into stadium parking.
The controversial defenseman was placed on waivers Sunday afternoon following an incident after the team’s 5 overtime loss Saturday to Pittsburgh.
Gipson, who started 16 games at free safety for a third consecutive season, was third on the Jaguars with seven passes defensed and also had an interception, a tackle for loss and a hit.
He could be a sucker’s pick this year, but given his steady batting average and position in a stacked lineup, we doubt he’ll be a total bust.
The Wildcats – led by a star-studded team that included John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins – reached the East Region final before getting knocked off by No.
As he breaks inside at the 7, Dyson turns his head back and looks for McNair’s pass.

Backs made guys miss and created more yards than were probably there and by making a guy miss by breaking a tackle.

He’s also showing a proficiency at Personalized Cheap Baseball T-Shirt down shots just inside the arc.
The COVID-19 pandemic largely threw a wrench personalized jerseys the company’s best laid plans, but boss Tony Khan wouldn’t necessarily pin that as a negative.
That doesn’t mean a certain sacks or pressures number.
Our job is to provide opportunities to the fighters.
John: I do expect the Jaguars to participate in joint practices this year.
It’s just a matter of these last two weeks, now that this is obviously public news, us not being in the playoffs, just a matter of really doing some thumb-pointing and seeing what I can do better going back and just evaluating my process and seeing how I could help finish strong these last two weeks and do whatever I can.
I don’t see him contributing in any way possible until the coaches decide that, but Personalized T-shirts always comes down to competing and playing.
He reached 1 yards on a 13-yard reception in the third quarter.

The new global partnership will kick off with a bang as Lycamobile begins to activate around the much anticipated 2019 NFL Draft.
Especially because, in Scariolo’s own words, Spain already has a new cornerstone to build upon: it’s a familiar face, an NBA champion and a natural leader for this group.
She played a fantastic match, and hopefully that gives her a lot of confidence in herself.
It was a relatively brief, but solid, match that didn’t wear out its welcome.
The first-team unit looked on its other series like what it was – a unit playing its first game of action of any kind together, and a unit likely to have hiccups early in the season and improve as the season continues.
Most of the players come from different club teams in the Spanish Liga, one the best championships in the world, as Argentina’s run to the final goes to show: they’re used to being around each other and that’s one of the reasons why albiceleste has developed such an excellent chemistry.
He’s a guy that just looking at him, you’re not going to be impressed.
Not far at all, it turns out.

A rabbi at a Pompano Beach synagogue is ready to say mazel tov to the first Jewish gay marriage in Broward county, if only he could find a happy kosher couple.
Temple Sholom recently shed its ultra-conservative image and is ready to perform the first ever commitment ceremony in the county.
Rabbi David Mark has been placing ads in Jewish newspapers to find two people who want to get hitched, something not possible just a few short years ago.
"There was a need out there among the public for something like this," Mark told the Sun-Sentinel. "It hurt me so much to my very core that I could not help these people. I believe religion should bring people together."
Earlier this year, the Temple shifted away from what it felt was an increasingly right-wing ideology. The temple calls itself "progressive conservative" and is allowed to perform the alternative ceremonies while still holding on to many conservative traditions. The orthodox branch of Judaism still rejects same-sex marriage and wedding substitutes.
The ceremonies at Temple Shalom won't include every part of a Jewish wedding, but it will include an exchange of rings and vows and the breaking of glass.
"Even though Florida does not recognize gay marriage, I feel that gay people are entitled," Mark said. "People fall in love and they should be able to express that love in a public setting."

Featuring Gina McCarthy, former administrator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency; Barbara Ferrer (SPH’88), Los Angeles Department of Health; David Miller, North America Regional Director and C40 Ambassador for Inclusive Climate Action; and more.
Climate change will have enormous impacts on human health and well-being throughout the world. In response, many cities are developing farsighted policies to reduce carbon emissions while also adapting to ongoing changes. However, high-level political support for climate action remains weak, and policymakers need to be able to articulate the benefits of their climate policies. Public health researchers are documenting how urban climate solutions can directly benefit the health of local residents, but this research has not yet been communicated in a manner that has motivated effective action. This symposium will bring together thought leaders from public health, cities, and journalism to develop strategies that bring greater attention to—and produce visionary actions that address—the global climate challenge. Co-hosted with the Pulitzer Center. Additional partners include the Boston University Initiative on Cities and the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment.
#BUSPHSymposia. LIVE STREAMING AVAILABLE at www.bu.edu/sph/live
Wednesday, April 20, 2018, 8:00 to 4:30 p.m.

Implausible though it may seem, we may in the future be ruled by descendants of Seven Dwarfs, according to Professor Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading’s cybernetics department. The Seven Dwarfs are a group of robots developed at the University that not only learn to navigate obstacles using ultrasound sensors as their `eyes’, but interact via infrared, passing information between each other. They can, therefore, learn from each other and show group behaviour.
In an experiment at the end of last year, one of Professor Warwick’s robots used the Internet to programme a robot in the United States without human intervention, a world first. The robot in Britain taught the US robot how to determine its position relative to other objects using its ultrasound sensors. The robot was then able to learn by trial and error using its own on-board microprocessor.
Professor Warwick has described some of his work with robots in his book, March of the Machines – why the new race of robots will rule the world. He estimates that in the early part of the next century computational power will be greater than that of the human brain. Advancements in robotics, particularly in optical and biological systems will speed up the ability of intelligent machines to move, operate and be effective in everyday life. Not only will robots be more intelligent than humans, they will also be faster, more reliable, quicker to learn and more robust.
Published by Century at a price of £16.99, the book should be interesting reading for machine designers and anybody else who doesn’t find the thought of a world ruled by six inch robots rather depressing. On the other hand, perhaps this race of robots race will be bright enough to cut research spending on cloning sheep on the basis that there never was much difference between individual sheep at the best of times.

While some may question defending those accused of heinous crimes, it is essential to remember that criminal defense attorneys are not endorsing or condoning illegal behavior. From Arrest to Victory: The Criminal Defense Attorney’s Playbook When an individual finds themselves facing criminal charges, their entire life can be turned upside down. In these challenging times, having a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney by your side is crucial. These legal professionals possess the knowledge and expertise necessary to navigate the complex world of criminal law and ensure that their clients receive fair treatment throughout the legal process. The journey from arrest to victory requires careful planning and execution, which is why criminal defense attorneys rely on a well-crafted playbook.
This playbook serves as a guide for attorneys as they strategize, investigate, negotiate, and advocate on behalf of their clients. One of the first steps in this playbook involves criminal lawyers near me conducting a thorough investigation into the case. Attorneys meticulously review police reports, witness statements, physical evidence, and any other relevant information to identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Armed with this knowledge, they can build a strong defense strategy tailored specifically to each client’s unique circumstances. Once armed with compelling evidence or arguments that challenge the prosecution’s claims or cast doubt on their credibility or reliability; negotiations may begin.
Skilled defense attorneys are adept at negotiating plea bargains that minimize penalties or secure alternative sentencing options such as probation or community service instead of jail time. However, if negotiations fail to yield satisfactory results for their clients; trial preparation becomes paramount. Defense attorneys work tirelessly to gather additional evidence through expert witnesses’ testimonies or forensic analysis while ensuring all procedural requirements are met. During trial proceedings itself; defense attorneys employ various tactics designed to undermine the prosecution’s case further. They skillfully cross-examine witnesses presented by prosecutors while presenting counter-evidence that supports their client’s innocence or raises reasonable doubt about guilt. Throughout every stage of this process; communication between attorney and client remains essential.

The three-time Brit-nominated rapper, whose real name is Ben Drew, is the first act announced for the Balearics summer festivals, opening Mallorca Rocks on May 31 and Ibiza Rocks on June 1.
"This is going to be fun, I've never been to Ibiza before - I better start working out what I'm going to wear now, it's going to be hard to make Speedos work with my suit jacket," he joked.
Ahead of the hedonistic festivals, which boast gigs every week on both islands for seventeen weeks of the year, Plan B will be performing at next month's Brits at London's O2 Arena.
The London rapper - who embarks on his own tour in March - will take on acts including Tinie Tempah and Mumford & Sons for the coveted best album gong.

Are past lives fact or fiction? This is a question that has been baffling people for eons.
Is there a possibility that we have lived in previous lifetimes?
Have we been here before?
Is this our one and only life, and what happens when we die?
There have been many mystics, among others, that are quite comfortable with the concept that we have lived before. There are countless individuals that truly believe that they have had recalls of past lives. Some have experienced glimpses through past life regression. Many of us have heard of stories where people claim to have experienced a “knowing” feeling as if they have been somewhere before yet know without a doubt that they have never been there in this lifetime. How can this be possible?
We, personally, have seen an English speaking child under two years of age speaking fluent Chinese to a shop owner. The Chinese owner said the child was talking in his language and questioned if the parents could also speak Chinese but they could not. How is this possible?
It is said that in the meditative state one can have many experiences, such as out of body experiences, finding their eclectic records and the remembrance of past lives. Are all these fabrications of the mind or is this possible?
Undoubtedly, we all have heard of experiences from those individuals who have clinically died and came back to life. These individuals refer to a light or walking in a tunnel towards a light. Some say that as they were walking towards the light that they reached a point where they knew that if they passed it there would be no returning. We have also been told that some are told to turn around and go back that it was not their time to come. How can we explain this?
We hear more and more people having “special” experiences. Does it not make you questions, what is normal or “super”natural and what is not?
Are these experiences not just our individual perception of reality? We, personally, cannot help but question just how little we actually understand. What is the big picture and what is our part in it?
We each have a choice to be a skeptic, to be a believer or we can just be open to all potentials. Fact or fiction--what is your interpretation? We leave it in your hands to come up with your own personal perception of what reality is and what your part actually is. It is certainly wide open for discussion, isn’t it?

High school soccer star Lindsey Anderson was at the top of her game with graduation approaching and a full-ride soccer scholarship offer in her hand. Then she dropped dead on the soccer field, only to wake up in the body of a teenage sex-trafficking victim. No one believes who she really is. Not even her dad. Chased by her new body’s drug-dealing pimp and rabid parapsychologists out to dissect her, Lindsey searches to get her body and her life back before graduation day. Can her BFF and the high school nerdy boy she detests help save her life?
Not Myself Today is a fantastic YA Thriller. I very much enjoyed this story. Muriel Ellis Pritchett knows how to draw a reader into a story. The story starts off where we are sort of in the dark and as the story unfolds, I was on the edge of my seat.
Lindsey and Rachek have an awesome friendship. I love to see a reallynwell writen friendship in a novel. The characters felt real, and this was definitely a character driven novel.
The way this story ended, I assume there will be a second novel. I think the plot was well paced and I found this difficult to set down
Overall, a good read. Give it a shot.

Mercedes-AMG C 63 2018 has been revealed
Mercedes pulled the wraps off the new AMG C63 2018 at the New York International Auto Show earlier this week.
The all-new performance C-Class debuted just weeks after the manufacturer unveiled the Coupe and Cabriolet variants.
It has been given a slight facelift which includes the addition of an AMG-specific radiator grille, new alloy wheels, gloss chrome exhaust pipes and AMG badging.
Powering the performance C-Class saloon, Estate, Coupe and Cabriolet is a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8, with either 469bhp (C63) or 503bhp (C 63 S).
Of the variants the saloon and Coupe with S power get a top speed of 180mph, while the Estate and Cabriolet are capped at 174mph.
All standard C63 cars are, however, limited to 155mph.
The standard C 63 will accelerate from zero-62mph in 4.0-seconds, while the C 63 S sprints the distance in 3.9-seconds.
Each variant comes as rear-wheel drive as standard and is mated to the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission, which is said to achieve more agile gearshift responses.
“The AMG C-Class is our best-selling model series and therefore a key cornerstone of our company’s success of recent years.
“We have therefore increasingly expanded our C-Class offer: customers can now choose between twelve models from the C-Class family.
“As part of the latest facelift, we have upgraded all variants of the model series even more substantially,” says Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The new car has been given a facelift and some design tweaks
“This relates to the 43-series models and especially, of course, to the AMG C 63.
“The perfected driving dynamics and expressive design underscore the powerful, muscular character of the rear-wheel drive icon.”
Merc engineers have also altered the car’s suspension, dampers and limited-slip differential.
Across the range there are six different dynamic drive programmes available - Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, RACE and Individual.
The performance car's interior
They are selectable via the gearshift paddle in the centre console and will alter the handling characteristics of the car.
Inside the car, standard specification includes AMG performance seats, a choice of luxury materials including Nappa leather and open-pore oak wood and carbon fibre elements to reflect the car’s sporty dynamics.
A 12.3-inch digital display sits in front of the drivers, communicating vital information whilst driving.
In addition to this screen is a touchscreen media display, for infotainment functions, which starts at seven-inches and can be as big as 10.25-inches.
Prices for the car have not been announced, but likely will closer to its summer release.
