Limestone is a sedimentary rock. It's mainly composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of calcite, and is mostly organic. It forms commonly in shallow, clear, warm marine waters. The rock forms from the buildup and collection of coral, shell, fecal and algal debris. It can also be a chemical sedimentary rock created by precipitation CaCO3 from ocean or lake waters.
How Limestone is Made
Limestone starts out as dead shells and organisms that have fallen to the bottom of the ocean or a body of water. Over millions of years of heat, pressure, and more sediment gathering, the heat and pressure compacts the shells and sediment into limestone (CaCO3). It is then mined in quarries by machines. If heated in a rotary kiln, the limestone becomes what is called quicklime (CaO). If water is added to the quicklime, it becomes slaked lime (Ca(OH)2). Then, the slaked lime is carbonated ( by adding CO2), and is becomes limestone again!
Save the Limestone!
Although limestone can be industrially made, it is still considered a nonrenewable resource, meaning that it is being used up faster than it can be naturally replaced. If it were renewable, it would easily be replaced in a short matter of time, like trees. Since we are using it up so quickly, we should try to preserve it, so that it doesn't disappear. Even though it's industrially made, it's still not even near having the qualities of an inexhaustable resource, which is never depleting, like solar energy, or wind.
Advantages of Quarries
The advantages of mining quarries are that the quarry, once all the limestone is extracted, can be filled with water to become a lake, pond, or even a river. These can be used for fishing and water sports, and may even attract people. The quarries may also attract locals to work in the quarry, giving more job opportunities to locals.

I started this assessment by reading Craft & Vision’s 20 Ways to Make Better Photographs Without Buying More Gear. I tried implementing these techniques on my own around my house. Since it’s a beautiful day, I decided to light my pipe and go for a walk outside. One of the things I’ve been trying recently is incorporating more flowers around my house. I’ve been planting a lot of perennials and some annuals in pots on my front porch. This is a picture of some of the flowers using a typical perspective (i.e., looking directly at them).
Changing My Perspective
After reading the tips from the Craft & Vision eBook, I knew that I wanted to try changing my perspective. Instead of taking a picture of the flowers as a typical viewer, I thought about the viewpoint of the flowers. To experiment, I laid my phone down in the flower pot and used the front-facing camera to try to capture the new perspective. As you can tell, it didn’t work out as planned. The picture is blurry, unfocused, and congested.
Finding My Balance
So I had an idea and it didn’t work out, but I’m not a quitter. With some repositioning and adjusting, I was able to get a slightly better quality photo. I am also using the adjective “better” very generously. It is still a bad photo, but the perspective is more of what I wanted. I liked that I was able to get the blue sky into the shot. I was attempting to incorporate Craft & Vision’s tip to experiment with balance, but the balance in this picture still seems off. There’s no depth to the picture. The flowers are out of focus, and you can see part of my porch and the side of my face. I wasn’t happy with how this one turned out.
A Wider Angle
For my last photo, I tried to apply Craft & Vision’s tip to use the best lens. There aren’t many options on my iPhone, so I flipped my phone around to point the rear-facing camera towards the sky and snapped the picture from my watch. By doing this, I was able to use the 0.5x lens, which gives the wide angle perspective. I like the contrast of the bright sky and the sun beaming around the flowers with the stems being dark and shaded. The balance between the visual mass of the flowers to the open bright sky with a border of trees is visually appealing to me. The depth was also very interesting. I wasn’t intending to get the trees in the shot, but I realized that this made the flowers appear to be the same height as the surrounding trees. I got lucky that with the lighting outside today and that the sky created a nice background. Overall, I’m very happy with how this photo came out.

To the editor: I’m glad that screenwriter David Milch is coping well in his five-year journey with Alzheimer’s disease. He appears to nonetheless be alert, considering and cogent. Sadly, that’s not the truth for the overwhelming majority of dementia sufferers and their households after a number of years.
When the media pull a discreet curtain over the true dementia expertise, these untouched by it might not totally admire the beautiful distress suffered by sufferers as they refuse and their family members who witness it.
There’s clearly the lack of reminiscence, but additionally the lack of physique features; the harrowing wild west of looking for in-home caregivers or “reminiscence care” dwelling facilities; the draining of financial savings, lack of work and any pretense of a traditional life for the (normally) grownup youngsters or partner to whom this burden falls; and the unrelenting grief.
I used to be not given a highway map or ready in any manner for the lengthy goodbye first of my mom, then my father. I want that somebody would have given me an sincere tackle what lay forward, and I earnestly want these with a public or media voice will step up and talk about dementia with the honesty, gravity and respect it calls for.
Susan Deutsch, Venice
To the editor: I learn your article about Milch with disappointment and hope for one thing artistic once more from this gifted man. I need to share a narrative about his kindness.
When he was filming “Hill Avenue Blues” at what was referred to as Radford Studio within the early Nineteen Eighties, I used to be a struggling character actress with a gimmick. I might stand in entrance of various studios with a sandwich board studying, “Audition Denise McCanles.”
Whereas most individuals thought I used to be loopy, Milch walked by me to lunch every time I used to be on the market and all the time acknowledged me, smiled and stated one thing encouraging. I’ll always remember his kindness. He made a younger, insecure actress really feel essential.

Jim Polly, a member of the Old Jenkins School Committee, Holly B. Wiedemann, president of AU Associates, Inc., and Jenkins Mayor G.C. Kincer shared an oversized pair of scissors to cut ribbon signifying the completion of Jenkins School. AU Associates preserved the 101-year-old Jenkins school building, which contains apartments for senior citizens, a senior citizens center and a studio for Letcher County’s government operated television channel.For more than 20 years a group of citizens in Jenkins has been trying to save the old school building located downtown.
“We sunk our teeth into it and we would not let go until something good happened,” said Jim Polly, chairman of the Old Jenkins School Committee.
In 1992, people began to notice the decline of state of the vacant building. The roof was leaking. Windows were out.
Rosemary Shook, a former educator, moved back to Jenkins from Florida around that time with her husband John Shook, a former Jenkins Independent Schools superintendent. Mrs. Shook cried when she saw the condition of the school.
Holly B. Wiedemann, president of AU Associates, Inc., welcomed a large crowd Tuesday to a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony forJenkins School, which contains 26 one- and two-bedroom apartments for senior citizens who meet certain age and income guidelines. AU Associates preserved the 101-year-old Jenkins school building by transforming it into affordable housing. Located behind Wiedemann is the former school stage which is the new studio of the Letcher County government operated television channel.“To see it deteriorate hurt her,” said Polly.
Community members who wanted to keep the school building from being demolished formed the Old Jenkins School Committee. Members include D. Charles Dixon, Ked Sanders, Rosemary Shook, Betty Hunsaker, Peggy Greer, Paul Thomas Greer, Jimmy Polly and Pelma Dixon. The committee raised more than $30,000 trying to save the building.
After some major cleaning, Polly said thousands of people toured the building.
“That showed the love people had for this building,” said Polly.
The county government bought the old high school in the late 1970s and spent $1.6 million on the building in coal severance tax funding from June 29, 2000 to July 31, 2008.
Letcher County Judge/ Executive Jim Ward said he called Lexington-based AU Associates after learning the company had completed a similar preservation project in Jackson County. Ward wanted AU Associates to transform one of the old schools owned by the county into affordable housing. Jenkins, Kingdom Come and Campbell’s Branch schools were considered for renovations. AU Associates entered into a 50- year lease agreement in February 2013 with Letcher Fiscal Court to preserve and use the old Jenkins School, located on Pane Street.
“Look at how much they have preserved this building,” said Ward. “They have done an excellent job. We were able to take this building and make it a successful building for the City of Jenkins and the county. I’m just amazed at how well all of this has turned out.”
Costs associated with the renovation were projected to reach $3.1 million, according to Johan Graham, director of development for AU Associates.
Kentucky Housing Corporation allocated more than $400,000 in tax credits to help AU Associates obtain equity needed to provide affordable housing, said Andrew Hawes, managing director-multifamily programs with Kentucky Housing Corporation.
AU Associates also received $ 302,000 in subsidy for home resources.
“We’re very happy to allocate these resources to projects like this that will have a lasting impact to residents of a community,” said Hawes.
Historic tax credits were awarded through the Kentucky Heritage Council.
“Historic preservation is economic development,” said Craig Potts, state historic preservation officer. “The Jenkins School is a landmark in this community. Because of the work done here by AU and others it will remain so well into the future.”
Instead of an empty lot and a landfill full of building materials, Potts said Jenkins has a high quality facility that enhances the community.
“After all, is Jenkins really the same without Jenkins School?” asked Potts.
Construction began in mid- March and the project, which is called “Jenkins School,” is completed. Renters have already begun moving into apartments.
The 40,639-square-foot building is made up of five levels. The senior citizens center and government operated television studio will take up 4,796 square feet. The apartment units occupy a total of 20,682 square feet. The remainder of the building is hallway and circulation space, Graham said.
Apartments, a mechanical room and a laundry room are located in the basement. The old gymnasium/auditorium area will house the senior citizens center, which will include a state-of-the art commercial kitchen installed by AU. The studio for channel 98 is located on the old stage. A large glass wall separates the TV studio from the senior citizens center. Apartments are also located on the third, fourth and fifth levels.
A new plumbing system and roof are a part of the renovation as well. The exterior of the building has been cleaned and a new entrance was added to the back of the building.
AU Associates maintained many of the features that have made it such a beloved structure to many. Original building materials that remained in good condition — including American chestnut wainscot and trimming — have been restored, Graham said, and are an integral part of the transformation. The old scoreboard in the gym has been left intact, as has the old archway in the basement.
“Somehow they seem to be able to keep the historic nature of the structure and still modernize it to provide the safe sanitary housing that each renter deserves and needs,” said Phillip Wilkie, senior acquisitions manager with Community Affordable Housing Equity Corporation.
The building’s new design was based on the existing layout of the old school, which resulted in eight different floor plans for the building’s 26 apartment units.
“It’s expertly crafted to bring out modern amenities but a true sense of the historic nature of this building,” said Graham.
The facility is decorated with school memorabilia including a majorette costume and the old school bell.
Historic photos found in yearbooks, archives and the Smithsonian Institution were transferred to canvases and placed in the Jenkins School.
“We’re here to welcome back into your midst your sparkling, renovated and re-imagined Jenkins School apartments, the senior center and this amazing television station,” said Holly B. Wiedemann, president of AU Associates, during the ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony on Feb. 11. “This outstanding school building represented the quality of the town and because of the quality of the education here the school expanded in 1924 and then again in 1936. It became one of the largest schools in this region.”
Wiedemann said Jenkins residents have known and loved the school for many years and it’s a testament to the community that it still stands.
“It’s generous classrooms, wonderful gym and stage were no doubt the site of many life-forming memories,” said Wiedemann. “What a rich history we have here. We were honored to help the dreams of the Old Jenkins SchoolCommittee under the leadership of Jim Polly become a reality.”
Polly thanked AU Associates for its willingness to include the Old Jenkins School Committee in the renovation process.
Polly said the end result is beyond anything that the old school committee dreamed it could be.
“You may think that a building project such as this can’t happen,” said Polly. “For 20 years we were told that can’t happen. Nobody is going to come in and spend the time and money that it is going to take to renovate the old school. Well, somebody did. So don’t let anybody tell you that something can’t happen because with enough hard work, enough prayers and enough love anything can happen.”

Several US regional surveys showed declining business activity during June. More data for May also emerged with personal income and spending at the slowest pace this year, even accounting for the downgrade to April’s growth. After adjusting for inflation, May also saw the first negative spending growth this year. That is despite income growing quite robustly. The cost of home ownership in the US ‘states’, meanwhile, has risen to the point at which it seems likely that many prospective homeowners will have to abandon their plans to purchase a property for now. Mortgage refinancing has also slowed as rising interest rates have reduced the ability of US homeowners to lower their monthly outgoings by refinancing their mortgages at a lower interest rate.
Federal Reserve chairman Jay Powell told an audience at the European Central Bank’s annual policy forum in Sintra that he believes the Fed can restrain growth while avoiding a recession. That is a huge challenge bearing in mind that recessions are a somewhat inevitable consequence of the end of the business cycle. Recessions seem even more likely when the sharp increase in inflation requires an even sharper increase in interest rates. For now, data still seems to suggest that the employment market is tight. There continues to be about two jobs for every one person looking for work. Most surveys find respondents recognising that jobs are plentiful, although increasingly respondents are anticipating the labour market turning more negative.
Adding to the recessionary narrative have been drops in commodity prices. The biggest pain has been in industrial metals, which do not have a big or immediate impact on consumer price inflation, but wheat and oil prices have fallen back from their peaks a few weeks ago and that helps with the notion that inflation may be past its peak.
Oil is by far the most impactful factor for headline inflation. Oil was largely responsible for the unexpectedly high level of inflation during May, but the last few weeks make it easier to imagine that US inflation is starting to fall. That comes despite OPEC failing to decisively increase oil supply at their meeting on 30th June; instead, they acknowledged the risk that they wouldn’t be able to make their current targets. Meanwhile, US negotiators provided a downbeat update on talks with Iran over ending its nuclear programme and potentially bringing its oil supply back to the market.
With recessionary risks perceived to be rising and commodities signalling that inflation is ebbing, money markets no longer see the trajectory of interest rates as being inexorably upwards. Instead, the peak in interest rates has begun to be discounted at the February 2023 interest rate setting meeting. So far, there has been no acknowledgement that the Fed will indeed reduce the pace at which it is hiking interest rates and until it does the market will remain anxious.
Concerns about UK growth are on a bigger scale and the political landscape has taken an uncertain turn following the departure of Boris Johnson. The pound rose on the day Boris announced he was stepping down, but was likely being moved more by European gas prices than UK politics. And what of his successor? No doubt all would dearly like to cut taxes, but the current state of the public finances and projected rise in inflation, make that very difficult. That uncertainty reduces the market implications of this week’s political chaos such that any impact was barely discernible.
What will have more of bearing is GDP, which has already been declining for two consecutive months and the second quarter looks certain to contract. The potential for a summer of industrial action is putting further strain on activity, especially for the hospitality and retail sector. Investors are getting more bearish on the UK, with a Bloomberg survey showing close to three quarters of respondents expect a recession within a year and the pound at risk of touching early pandemic lows. UK retail sales fell 0.5% in May, which is the third monthly contraction in four months. Food sales were the main driver of the decline as consumers struggled with higher supermarket bills. Discretionary spending, such as household goods and at department stores, were down as well.
Rampant inflation in the UK is making households very nervous. The UK headline annual inflation rate accelerated to 9.1% in May from 9% a month earlier. Food prices, which are rising at the fastest pace in 13 years, drove the bulk of the pickup in inflation in May. Matters will get worse later this year when another energy price cap hike kicks in, with the Bank of England forecasting that price gains will surge above 11% in October
The silver lining is that underlying inflation excluding food and energy slowed to 5.9% from 6.2%, reflecting an easing in price increases from physical goods. Given the easing in core price pressures, the Bank of England is likely to stick with 25 basis point incremental increases in interest rates. Similar to the US, markets are currently expecting rate cuts to happen in Q2 2023, so most of the pain in higher interest rates would likely be felt this year.
With recession risks and inflation numbers under huge scrutiny, markets are likely to remain sensitive and vulnerable in the near term. That said, a lot of the bad news has been priced in and sentiment has turned very bearish. Taking the US benchmark S&P 500 as an example, the good news is the average decline that occurred during past recessions – which were primarily driven by monetary tightening – was similar in magnitude to the downside that has occurred so far this cycle. As such, even if we are heading for a recession, a lot of the bad news is arguably priced in to equity valuations.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, online content has become a crucial factor in building a connection between brands and customers. It serves as the initial point of contact where customers form an impression of your brand’s worth and industry expertise. However, without a well-planned content marketing strategy, you risk missing out on the chance to capitalize on your valuable content and maximize your brand’s potential.
Here are four essential content marketing rules to help you develop a strategic marketing approach, grow your online presence, and turn your blogs, social media posts, and video content into dynamic brand-building assets.
Start with the Data
Building blogs and social media posts without data-driven insights into customer preferences, behavior, and interactions with your brand is an exercise in futility. Analytics tools like Ahrefs, Moz, Google Analytics, Hootsuite, and HubSpot provide valuable data on your target audience’s interests, pain points, and motivations. Use this data to create content that is better positioned to deliver results. By analyzing data, you can identify what drives visibility, clicks, and engagement, allowing you to create content that appeals to your target audience. Understanding what kind of content is resonating with your audience is essential to creating content that people want to read and engage with.
Be Picky Where You Publish
Not all content and social media platforms have the same reach, focus, or search authority. Therefore, it’s essential to be selective about where you publish your content. Identify the platforms where your audience is most active and engaged, and focus your efforts on those platforms. It’s better to be active and effective on a few platforms than to spread yourself too thin on many.
Get Creative with Your Content Marketing
A limited digital marketing budget and resources can make it hard to build a robust content marketing strategy that maximizes brand exposure. However, by repurposing long-form blogs, articles, and web pages into smaller posts and across new platforms, you can get more mileage out of your content without exhausting limited resources. You can also piggyback on viral trends and hashtags to keep your content strategy humming without the time and cost of generating long-form content from scratch.

Things are speeding up at the farm these days. The restful days of winter are over as we get things ready for the 2013 growing season.
Neal is working on an automated chicken feeder. He is getting closer to a functioning machine, but there are still a few kinks (like it won't work when you put a full days worth of feed in it). If you have ideas on chicken feeders, let us know. Neal has been crowd-sourcing suggestions from his family, but we would always take more ideas.
We just got some clear plastic in the mail that we can use to cover Catherine's potting shed. Neal already started onions and leeks in the shed, but we need warmer temperatures in there to start things in the nightshade family like tomatoes and peppers.
We are crossing our fingers for good weather for making maple syrup (below freezing at night and 40's-50's during the day). It looks like we might be in luck this weekend at the farm. Neal has tapped a couple maple trees already and based on a suggestion from Ellen from Sustain Jefferson, we may try black walnut syrup as well this year. Neal's dad will help us out this week by collecting sap at the cabin up north and we will go up there to boil it down in a couple weeks.
More pictures of our projects to come with next week's post.

We invite submissions of abstracts of articles for an anthology on Race and Poetry, edited by Laura McCullough and Dwayne Betts. Abstracts should be submitted by Oct. 25, 2011. The goal is to generate an inclusive and broad exfoliation of the subject with an ear towards essays that will work in dialogue with each other, though not necessarily in agreement. Please include a short biographical statement with your abstract.
Essays appearing in the anthology will average 3,000 words. They can range from the lyric to the academic (hence, poets who are not scholars are invited to submit), but should be cited in Chicago style where citation is required. If an abstract is accepted, we'll send a note indicating any additional formatting requests.
WE ARE OPEN to ideas and perspectives that we have not thought of, but some things to consider:
--Exploration of one or more poets vis-a-vis racial elements in the work or surrounding the work
--Matters of race in editorial or publishing processes
--Where race and class collide in poetry/ where race and sexuality/gender issues collide
--Teaching and mentoring issues
--Writing across racial identities
--The Black/white racial line in American poetry
--Poetics specific to minority groups: pan-Asian, Hispanic, Latino/a, Arab/Israeli, Black, etc. (additional note: on non-Black/white issues, how does race get framed outside of black/white relations, and to what degree is this present in the poetry, or just an addendum that makes its way into prose conversations?)
--Racial concerns in translation, global, European (additional note: Is race a factor that poets become aware of when they enter America, or is it already in their dialogue (through the work) independent of their interactions with America? Are the issues that are analogous to race (ethnicity, culture) that create the same significant barriers amongst people?
--Appropriation and alterity: empathy or literary colonization (additional note on “Permissions:” much of the conversations around race seem to revolve around the idea “the last shall be first.” Is implicit in any discussion of race this hierarchy that always either devalues or mistrusts any voice that (in skin color, in ethnicity, in social status) seems equivalent to “the man.”)
--Post racial poetics (This idea has been explored before, but the editors would like to see if the idea of post-black has in any way changed the poetic stance of our major writers, which is to say, is there a continuum, an arc in the discussions of race (black/white) in poetry or has there been significant changes to mark the significant changes we’ve seen in the world.

Gov’t set to continue nuclear fuel cycle project despite Monju closure
The government formally decided at a meeting of Cabinet ministers concerned with nuclear energy on Dec. 21 to decommission the trouble-plagued Monju prototype fast-breeder nuclear reactor in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture.
Over 1 trillion yen in taxpayers’ money has so far been invested in the reactor — the core facility in the government’s nuclear fuel cycle project in which spent nuclear fuel is reprocessed and reused in nuclear reactors.
Nevertheless, Monju, operated by the government-affiliated Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), will be shut down after being in operation for a total of only 250 days since the reactor reached criticality for the first time in 1994.
Still, the government, which is poised to continue the nuclear fuel cycle project, also agreed at the Dec. 21 meeting to draw up a road map by 2018 toward developing a fast reactor for the project.
In other words, the government is moving toward its “next dream” even without clarifying the cause of the failure of what they called “dream nuclear reactor” Monju and who is responsible for the fiasco.
“It’s extremely important to maintain the nuclear fuel cycle project and promote the development of a fast reactor,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference following the decision.
However, continuation of the project will likely pose a challenge. The government’s nuclear fuel cycle project involves two cycles — one centered on a fast-breeder reactor and the other in which mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, nuclear fuel made from reprocessed plutonium and uranium, is used in nuclear plants.
With the decision to decommission Monju, the cycle involving a fast-breeder reactor has failed. At the same time, the government has failed to smoothly press forward with the cycle involving the use of MOX fuel since most nuclear power plants have been idled since the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis in March 2011. The No. 3 reactor at Shikoku Electric Power Co.’s Ikata plant is the only nuclear reactor using MOX fuel, which is currently in operation.
A spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in Aomori Prefecture is undergoing safety screening by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), and pools holding spent nuclear fuel at atomic power stations across the country are filled to 70 percent of their capacities on average. Japan’s stockpile of plutonium, which can be converted to use in nuclear weapons, has kept growing. By the end of 2015, the plutonium Japan possessed domestically and overseas had amounted to 47.9 metric tons.
The development of a fast reactor poses technological challenges. While a breeder reactor is designed to increase the amount of plutonium, the government emphasizes that a fast reactor that it is aiming to develop will play the role of an “incinerator” for nuclear waste such as by reducing the volume of high-level radioactive waste.
However, no experiment has been conducted on a fast reactor using actual radioactive waste. Hirofumi Nakamura, head of JAEA’s planning and coordination division, acknowledged that the technology has not even reached the stage prior to putting it into practical use.
Serious questions persist about the feasibility of a fast reactor for economic reasons, and such a reactor is often dubbed as “modern alchemy.”
The basic structure of a fast reactor and that of a breeder reactor are basically the same with the only differences being fuel types and arrangements. Therefore, a fast reactor, which is supposed to play the role of an incinerator for spent nuclear fuel, could be converted into a breeder reactor that produces plutonium.
A senior official of JAEA admits that “there is room for converting a fast reactor into one that breeds (plutonium).”
A fast reactor can be put into practical use after the development and production of experimental, prototype and then demonstration reactors. The government participates in the joint development of ASTRID, a French demonstration fast reactor. However, it remains unclear whether data and knowledge gained from the project in France, which is rarely hit by earthquakes, can be utilized in quake-prone Japan.
France is aiming to begin to operate the fast reactor in the 2030s, but the necessary funds for the project have only been allocated up to 2019. Questions remain as to whether Japan, which has aborted its project involving Monju, a prototype reactor, can be involved in a project to develop an upper-tier demonstration reactor.
Even those within the governing coalition are calling for caution in Japan’s involvement in the joint development project in France. “Japan shouldn’t ride on someone’s (France’s) back,” said Hiroshi Hase, former education, culture, sports, science and technology minister.
NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka dismissed the feasibility of a demonstration reactor. “I understand that a demonstration reactor isn’t realistic,” Tanaka told a news conference on Dec. 21.
Government still refuses to face up to reality, failure of Monju project
The government officially decided on Dec. 21 to decommission the troubled Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor and instead develop a new fast reactor to maintain Japan’s nuclear fuel recycling program.
The decision can be likened to a theater director determined not to declare an end to production despite dropping the spendthrift leading actor whose scandals have prevented him from performing on stage.
Fearing possible repercussions from the termination of the production, the director keeps promising to stage the play “sometime in the future.” The director refuses to say clearly when the play will be staged because there is no actor in sight who can substitute for the dismissed one.
But this policy decision cannot be simply laughed away as an absurd piece of political theatrics. An enormous amount of taxpayer money has already been poured into Monju, and the government is poised to spend a huge additional amount to deal with its demise.
There is no doubt the Monju project has been a costly failure. The government cannot be allowed to put the debacle behind it by simply scrapping the experimental reactor and having the science and technology minister offer to return part of his salary for several months.
Despite an injection of more than 1 trillion yen ($8.5 billion) of public funds into the project, the reactor has been mostly out of operation for the 20-odd years since it first reached criticality in 1994. Decommissioning the reactor will require an additional expenditure of nearly 400 billion yen, according to a government estimate.
An exhaustive postmortem for the project to identify the causes of its failure is in order.
The government should not waste any more money or make unreasonable efforts to keep its nuclear fuel recycling program alive.
The government has made the questionable claim that “a certain amount of useful knowledge” has been acquired through the Monju project that can be used to develop a new fast reactor. Instead, the government should confront the grim reality of this undertaking.
Four years ago, the science and technology ministry submitted a report on technological achievements in the Monju project to the Japan Atomic Energy Commission.
The report included estimated levels of achievements, weighted in terms of importance, in different areas.
The degree of achievement, expressed as a percentage, for equipment and system tests was, for instance, 16 percent. The figure for reactor core tests and irradiation issues was 31 percent, while that for operation and maintenance was nil. The overall achievement level was estimated at 16 percent.
Does the government believe this poor track record justifies its claim that “a certain amount of useful knowledge” has been obtained?
The clear moral of the Monju saga is that a huge price must be paid for failing to take a hard look at the reality and underestimating risks and problems.
Serious concerns about the cost-effectiveness of a nuclear fuel recycling program and the risk of nuclear proliferation from accumulating stockpiles of plutonium led many countries to give up developing fast-breeder reactors. Japan, however, bucked the trend and embarked on building Monju.
When sodium leaks occurred overseas, Japanese proponents insisted that such an accident would not happen at the Monju reactor.
When a sodium leak accident did occur at Monju in 1995, they made false announcements and covered up vital information.
Monju resumed operations in 2010 after a long hiatus, but mechanical trouble soon caused it to be shut down again.
Eventually, the ability and competence of the Monju operator, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, was called into question.
The government’s decision to decommission the reactor has long been delayed apparently because of fears that the step would raise questions about how to reprocess spent nuclear fuel in the recycling process and could have a negative impact on nuclear power generation itself.
The government should take this opportunity to confront the reality of its nuclear fuel recycling policy and try to create a new nuclear power policy that can win support of the public through open and broad debate.
Forging ahead with the plan to develop a fast reactor without following this process would be tantamount to betraying the people.
Editorial: Time to scrap nuclear fuel cycle, not just Monju reactor
The government formally decided on Dec. 21 to decommission Japan’s Monju prototype fast-breeder nuclear reactor, yet will continue to pursue the nuclear fuel cycle in which plutonium is extracted from spent fuel through reprocessing to be used again. This stance by the government takes the existence of fast reactors and the nuclear fuel cycle as a foregone conclusion.
Over 1 trillion yen in public funds has been injected into the Monju project, yet due to recurring trouble and scandals, the reactor has operated for just 250 days over 22 years. The Nuclear Regulation Authority went as far as to point out that Monju’s operator, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, was not capable of running the reactor and should be replaced.
It is only natural for the reactor to be scrapped, but there remains a problem in that the government has closed its eyes to various issues in reaching its decision. Why was it unable to act sooner to put an end to the waste of taxpayers’ money and decommission the reactor? Disregarding any probe into such issues, the government went ahead and made its decision behind closed doors. This is no way to win public approval.
An even more fundamental problem is that while the government is set to decommission the Monju reactor, it has decided to proceed with the development of a demonstration fast reactor — a step up from Monju.
Fast reactors form a cornerstone of the nuclear fuel cycle. The decommissioning of Monju should mean the cycle is broken, and if that is the case, then what needs to be reviewed above all is the fuel cycle policy itself.
The government, however, is still trying to promote fast reactor development, on the grounds that maintenance of the nuclear fuel cycle was included in the nation’s basic energy policy that the Cabinet approved in 2014.
As a step in that direction, the government has proposed taking part in France’s project to build the Astrid fast demonstration reactor, but the feasibility of this project remains unclear, and the government’s move sticks out as a seemingly stop-gap measure.
The reason the government has stuck to maintaining the nuclear fuel cycle is that as soon as it takes down its fuel cycle banner, spent fuel that was previously a “resource” becomes mere “waste.” As a result, the Aomori Prefectural Government would probably have to ask power companies to take back the “resources” that have been piling up at the nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in the prefecture. And once the storage pools for spent fuel at the nation’s nuclear power plants are full, those plants’ reactors will have to be taken offline.
Politicians should be sitting down and working out measures to solve this problem; maintenance of the nuclear fuel cycle should not be used as an expedient.
Some may see officials as wanting to maintain the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel from the viewpoint of potential nuclear deterrence, but this position lacks persuasiveness.
Five years and nine months have now passed since the onset of the disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, and as we prepare to usher in a new year, there are still people living in temporary dwellings and other places to which they evacuated. And the government is trying to widely push the swelling costs of the disaster cleanup, reactor decommissioning, and compensation payments onto the public.
Looking squarely at this reality, fast reactor development is not something the government should be placing priority on tackling. It should give up on the nuclear fuel cycle and put the money to use in measures to assist Fukushima’s recovery.

802.359.5000 | WILD BIRD REHAB: x510
By Jim Armbruster – Research Coordinator
Addison County Vermont is the place to be for birders. Its mix of unique habitats draw hundreds of birds and bird watchers alike. In the winter it is known for being home to several migratory artic species including Rough-legged Hawks, Snowy Owls, and thousands of Snow Geese.
Other species also call this area home in the winter including Red-tailed Hawks. Red-tails are known to be partial migrants in Vermont. Birds from the northern parts of their range will move south for the winter. The timing and length of their travels are reliant on several factors. These migratory birds may displace residents that are migrating themselves or may leap frog areas with a resident until they find a suitable spot for the season. Some Red-tails remain residents in Vermont year round. Some may leave the state entirely. The migration strategies are well known but their use of this region is less studied.
The goal of our winter raptor ecology project is to determine how Red-tailed Hawks are using the habitat in Addison County. We will look at the timing of their migration, movements in relation to changing weather conditions, and abundance in relation to prey availability. We also hope to find the relationship between migratory and resident Red-tails that will coexist for the winter season and potentially the relationship between Red-tails and other similar species like Rough-legged Hawks.
To accomplish these goals we will map the size of our ten study birds home ranges through the winter to determine what factors drive the size and location. We will mount radio telemetry trackers on eight of our study birds and then relocate them throughout the winter.
We are also partnering with researchers from Cornell in their Red-tailed Hawk Project to mount GPS trackers on two birds. This data will aid in our project and help their researchers to look at the breeding success of Red-tails throughout their entire range.
Next winter we hope to partner with researchers from The Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit in their Rough-legged Hawk Project. This will include mounting GPS transmitters to Rough-legged Hawks while they are in Vermont for the winter. The transmitters will provide year round movement data for those birds.
The data collected this winter can be used to build the framework for more studies in this area. GPS trackers on all our birds can give us a year round look at their movements. We can determine where exactly these winter migrants are coming from and where they end up once in Vermont. Several seasons of data can be used to look at other factors influencing their decisions. Other species like Rough-legged hawks can be added to the study to look at the relationship between two similar species that share the same habitats in the winter.
Stay tuned for more updates from the field!
We live near the Basin Harbor club in West Ferrisburgh. I can tell you we reliably see a Red Tail Hawk perched on tree branches hunting the open fields on Basin Harbor Road past where it crosses Dead Creek. We also always see one on Button Bay Road perched in the tree tops every time we drive by, south of the State Park. There are a number of Osprey platforms around but I never see hawks using them. If you want to direct folks on where to see Red Tails, send them there..
We will have to check those spots out!

A sweet, sophisticated spring treat.
Rhubarb often gets lumped in with strawberries when it comes to spring baking. And for good reason; strawberry rhubarb anything tastes delicious and looks beautifully pink. But rhubarb do do other things, too. One idea? Turn this special spring vegetable (yes, it’s a vegetable) into chic, sweet candied rhubarb ribbons.

Rhubarb Basics: What Does Rhubarb Taste Like?
Candied rhubarb ribbons look sophisticated, and they are, but are very simple to make. Rhubarb is actually not good raw. Rhubarb is a very tart vegetable that has almost no natural sweetness. Somewhere along the line, some genius figured out that if you cook it with sugar, rhubarb tastes amazing, with an earthy spring sweetness and a gorgeous bright pink color.
How to Make Candied Rhubarb Ribbons
To make these ribbons, use a paring knife to slice a thin strip down the length of a rhubarb stalk. Vegetable peelers do not work well; in my experience, they create too thin a strand, which becomes a tiny knot.
Make your peels as thin as possible. Rhubarb has a high moisture content. If the ribbon peels are too thick, the rhubarb will not be able to fully dry in the oven and get crispy.
The first step after peeling the rhubarb is to poach the ribbons in simple syrup. This coats them in liquid sugar.
Next, lay the rhubarb strips flat on a baking sheet and dry them in a low oven for an hour or more. Time consuming, perhaps, but no work is involved.
Finally, working one ribbon at a time — they dry quickly once out of the oven — wind them loosely around wooden skewers or utensil handles to set. Voilà!
In addition to being a fun treat all on their own, these sweet candied rhubarb ribbons make a perfect topping to shortcakes, ice cream, or any spring rhubarb dessert.
Did you make these candied rhubarb ribbons? Tell us about it.
How to Make Candied Rhubarb Ribbons
- 1 or 2 rhubarb stalks, cleaned and dry, ends removed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Make the simple syrup, combining the sugar and water in a small pot and heating until dissolved. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Using a paring knife (or go ahead, try a vegetable peeler), slice long, thin strips of rhubarb from the outer stalk. Soak the ribbons in the cooled simple syrup for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°F, and line or lightly grease a baking sheet. Lay each ribbon on the baking sheet. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the ribbons have dried out. Note: They will still be sticky and flexible from the heat.
- Working one or two ribbons at a time so the remaining ribbons can stay soft in the oven, wrap each ribbon loosely around skewers or the handles of cooking utensils, and let dry for around 10 minutes before gently sliding the curled ribbons off.
5 stars for being pretty. How long would they keep d’ya think please. Thanks.
Thanks so much! They should keep in an airtight container, lined with a paper towel, at room temperature for a few days. Sugar is hydroscopic, meaning it wants to absorb moisture. The better you can keep moisture out, the longer they can last.

Fun!! A little hard for me to peel with a vegetable peeler, so I used a paring knife.
Turned out just great! Have to act fast when they come out of the oven.
What a nice way to use rhubarb! I think it’s better as a garnish than to eat, but the directions were great and I got some nice curls
Made these and they looked so pretty. I suggest pressing very hard with the vegetable peeler to get thicker/wider ribbons. Also, the first coulee of peels were very stringy, but then they got easier.
I haven’t made this but I give it 5 stars because it is so pretty. 🙂
Hah! I’ll take it. Let me know if you try it out.

Jake Owen and Charlie Worsham played a sold out set at the Greeley Stampede in Greeley, Colo. last month. The 'Want You Too' singer opened the show, before Owen brought a few surprises to the stage with him. See highlights in this Taste of Country photo gallery from the concert.
Country stars are used to being in front of the camera, always cheesing it up on the red carpet and at events. But Jake Owen reveals that he actually likes to be behind the lens, and he's ready to share his photography hobby with his fans.
There's country fans ... and then there are ultra country fans. Robyn Patrylo of Nashville, Tenn. is a permanent country fan -- literally. She has autographs from country stars tattooed all over her legs.
Jake Owen was just beginning his show in Ft. Wayne, Ind. last night when he had to stop it to throw out a fan he saw punch a woman. Video shows the 'Beachin'' singer reacting to the incident before continuing with the next song.
The first-ever iHeartRadio Country Festival was a smashing success on Saturday (March 29) in Austin, Texas, featuring star-studded performances, a surprise collaboration, and even a little bit of rapping (and this time, it wasn't Nelly!).
Jake Owen is a Southern boy through and through. Born in Vero Beach, Florida, the 'Beachin'' singer's speech is what you would expect from ... well, a beach boy. Owen is a Southern boy through and through.
Taste of Country's March Man-Ness competition begins right now. The field of 32 country studs has been divided into four quadrants, with eight artists in each battling to be named country music's sexiest male. First up? Country music's Lady Killers.

If you have a car, you know there are several components to monitor to keep it running.
Among these elements are the tire pressure, oil changes, air filters, and much more. It can feel a bit daunting, but keeping up with routine maintenance will pay off. Not only will you save money, but your car will run smoother and safer.
One such bit of upkeep is the brake pads. What are they? How long do brake pads last? when should they be replaced?
Check out this guide for the key things to understand about your car’s brake pads.
What Are Brake Pads?
Brake pads are a paramount component to stopping a car. You have probably seen them on your ride. The brake pads clamp around the wheel rotors behind the rims.
When you press on the gas, the wheels begin to turn. The more gas, the faster they spin, right?
So, when you hit the brakes, it is up to the pads to stop the car. The pressure from the brake pads squeezing the rotors slow the car down.
How Long Do Brake Pads Last?
Now that you know what brake pads are, let’s discover how long they can last.
Think about how many times you pressed your car brakes today. The number is countless. Well, all the repetitive friction between pads and rotor takes its toll.
Brake pads are going to wear down over time. The average life of brake pads is around 40,000 miles. However, this number is in direct relation to your driving style.
The faster your car is going, the more difficult it is to slow down. As such, you can save a lot of wear and tear on your brake pads by being gentle.
Do you mash your breaks stopping on a dime on the highway? Driving like this will wear down pads much faster. This behavior will put your brake pad life span closer to 25,000 miles.
Alternatively, easing into stops over far distances results in longer brake pad life. You will be looking at up to 65,000 miles.
Furthermore, there are different qualities of brake pads. If you elect to put performance parts accessories on your car such as ceramic brake pads, they will last longer.
All of these factors play an important role in the life of brake pads.
When Should You Replace Brake Pads?
It is okay if you haven’t diligently kept track of the miles on your brake pads. If you think they need to be replaced, there are some indicators to watch for.
Squeaking coming from the wheel when you brake is a common sign new pads are needed. Don’t worry, this sound does not spell doom for your car.
The squeaking comes from a part embedded in the pads that scrape the rotor when they are wearing down. If you are hearing this every time you brake, its time to replace.
Easier still, some newer model cars have indicator lights warning of old pads.
So, how long do brake pads last? Well, it depends on your driving style. Take it easy on the brakes to make the most of your pads. As the pads wear down, keep an eye on the warning signs for replacement.
Your car will thank you for the proper maintenance.
Remember, working on your car is more than a hobby – it’s a lifestyle. So, if you enjoyed this article, keep an eye on the blog for more automotive ideas.

We haven't gotten to hear any new music from Selena Gomez in what seems like a lifetime. A track of her performing "Hold On" with indie fave Ben Kweller was released earlier this summer, but besides that, she's been busy promoting her brand-new (hilarious-looking) movie Behaving Badly with Nat Wolff. Lucky for us, she decided to take a break to give us a little taste of what we've been missing.
Over the weekend, Selena posted the video above where she's singing a song we all know and love: her 2011 hit "Who Says." Obviously she's put out some stellar tracks since then ("Come and Get It," anyone?) but hearing her belt out an old fave was like an awesome walk down memory lane. And, of course, a reminder of how freaking talented she really is.
Now we just have to hold out until she releases a new album, which would be great if it happened soon. Just saying. We'd rather not wait. We're not the world's most patient people over here, in case you hadn't noticed.
Think Selena has an amazing voice? Want to hear new music ASAP? Tell us in the comments below!

The excuse does not exist. That is the main message left by the documentary Skilful Rock. In it, Urko and Javi climb the 400 meters of altitude on the Mediterranean of the Peñón de Ifach. Up there, there are no surprises. The truly incredible thing about this audiovisual piece is that Urko is missing a leg and that Javi is blind.
Urko Carmona and Francisco Javier Aguilar thus become an autonomous team with no external support, turning this short into a refreshing bath of motivation and positive energy. In the film we can see two stories of improvement, two stories that have managed to adapt to the circumstances and turn their disability into strength and tenacity.
Its history has been converted into an audiovisual piece by the Dianense director Hugo Jareño (Gnaro productos), who has won two prizes in the Kirolene Film Fest 2018 of Durango: the best amateur short film about mountain sports and climbing and the best short film for inclusion.
In a fun way, without epics or artifices, these athletes teach us how much they can train the barriers.
The documentary is projected this Wednesday 23 of May in the hall of events of the Llebeig school. The pass will be at the 20: 00 hours, with free admission, and the attendees can then share a small talk with the director and the athletes, who return to the Marina Alta to star in a film of The Edge of the Impossible and infect their spirit of overcoming the students of the special education school Raquel Payá.

Behind the music of Infamous: Second Son
Sony Computer Entertainment America’s vast, glass-fronted campus is a humming nexus of the digital age, a droning place of clicking mice and clacking keyboards.
But deep inside the San Mateo tech-hive there are a few tightly connected rooms where life takes on an analog tone, one that is different from Silicon Valley’s usual vibe. These are the studios where soundtracks for studios like Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch are created and recorded.
Their mixing decks sport levers, dials and switches. The recording room is filled with tambourines, cymbals, guitars, sheet music, a piano.
And the people who inhabit these places are different from the usual game office crowd. They spend their lives jingling around with strings and ivories, drumsticks and metallophones. They fiddle and faddle in an aural world of real, actual music.
What they ultimately produce are the soundtracks for games like Infamous: Second Son, released last week. A game soundtrack can take up to two years to create, according to director of music Chuck Doud.
“We’ll start on a project really early,” he says. “There’s a lot that happens under the hood.”
Music in games have a long history, going back to simple notation combinations created entirely electronically, to full orchestral scores and even Grammy nominations. “Our job is to make sure the music makes a connection with the player,” says Doud. “We keep you immersed. We are marrying that vision with technology to create a dynamic and adaptive score.”
This is where game scores can fall down, badly, when they erupt for no good reason into heart-thumping action sequences, while you, the player, are strolling down some in-game street, feeling slightly bemused.
“Some developers use a really simplistic approach, ” explains Doud. “They will say that in this field there may be five enemies and as long as there are enemies we will have the music kick up. And you can clear out a room and there may be some dude two floors down and he is still in that proximity range that is making the music go crazy and you are walking around saying ‘what did I do?’ You are now disconnected from the game and it may take a while before you are fully re-engaged again.
“We write a script for what you want the music to do in any situation,” he adds. “When this thing happens in the game we want the music to do something specific. Then we will write a little subset of rules that says, ‘ah, but when this happens, ignore all those rules and go do this.’ That’s how you avoid the music going crazy when there is no need for it to go crazy.”
Ultimately, computers and code are needed to marry the music with the game. “We put a priority on the integration of the score into the game,” says Doud. “You can work with the best composer and you can have the best production resources and you can listen to it and think ‘oh man this score is great,’ but if it is not implemented into the game correctly then it is going to fall flat.
“The talent of the people who are making games has matured to the level where it is demanding that the music do a better job. We’re at a point where you are seeing a more intelligent use of the music.”
