Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Can the town still enforce violations of its land use permits? Yes, but only for fifteen years after the violation first occurred. Under Bianchi II, landowners must still abide by any applicable permit. This means that if a house has a deck built in 1997 that is non-compliant with a permit, the deck remains non-compliant and is still subject to enforcement until 2012. If the town discovers the violation after that date, it may enforce, and the landowner can only benefit from the statute of limitations if he or she can prove that the violation is over 15 years old. Note that under Bianchi II the non-compliant deck is not a cloud on the title.
What does Bianchi II mean to planning and zoning administrative officers? Bianchi II continues to require zoning administrators to record notices of Municipal Land Use Permits in the Town Clerks Office. The new law clarifies that only final permit decisions must be recorded, and a clear definition of Municipal Land Use Permit will help the administrator determine what must be filed. The two most important changes for administrators, however, are as follows:
If a Notice Of Municipal Land Use Permit is filed after the required thirty days, will the municipality be prevented from later enforcing the permit conditions? While the statutory language seems to say that failure to record a notice of municipal land use permit within thirty days after the final permit is issued will preclude a later enforcement action, a court might find that a late recording (after the thirty days) will not prevent a town from enforcing, so long as the enforcement action is against the landowner who received the permit, or another individual that has actual notice of the permit. In the event that a permit is not recorded within the requisite time period, the town should consult with its attorney to determine what course of action to take to preserve the towns enforcement rights.
Does the statute of limitations apply to failure to obtain the required permit? The newly amended section 4496 applies the 15-year statute of limitations to "an action, injunction or other enforcement proceeding relating to any municipal land use permit [enforced] under section 1974a, 4444, or 4445 of this title." Introductory portions of the legislation,(see footnote 1) and legislative history, indicate that the intent was to create a statute of limitations that covered all violations, including failure to obtain required permits. However, the language of the statute is ambiguous and some municipal attorneys have been advising their clients that the statutory language extends the limitation of actions only to "enforcement proceedings relating to any municipal land use permit," and not to violations of the bylaws, including the failure to obtain a permit. Accordingly, until the legislature clarifies the language of section 4496, or a court considers this issue, towns, prospective purchasers and landowners should consult their attorneys before proceeding in reliance on this provision.
|Footnote 1 S144, sec. 1 (b) provides, in pertinent part: "The general assembly intends to . . . [r]educe the costs of title searches and title insurance by providing for a statute of limitations on enforcement of municipal land use violations . . ."|
What does Bianchi II mean for clerks? The clerk's function continues to be ministerial. The clerk must still record whatever is presented to the office by the "appropriate municipal official." The indexing requirements of the law have not changed, however a tighter definition of what must be filed should provide some relief to clerks by resulting in fewer duplicative recordings. The old law set a laundry list of permits and approvals (and disapprovals and denials) that had to be recorded. The new law provides that only a municipal land use permit, or notice of such permit, or notice of violation must be recorded. Municipal land use permit is defined as:
(A) a zoning, subdivision, site plan, or building permit or approval, any of which relate to "land development" as defined in this section, which has received final approval from the applicable board, commission or officer of the municipality; or
(B) a septic or sewage system permit issued under any municipal ordinance adopted pursuant to chapter 102 of this title; or
(C) final official minutes of meetings which relate to the permits or approvals described in subdivision (24)(A) or (B) of this section which serve as the sole evidence of such permit or approval; or
(D) a certificate of occupancy, certificate of compliance or similar certificate which relates to the permits or approvals described in subdivision (24)(A) or (B) of this section; or
(E) an amendment of any of the documents listed in subdivisions (24)(A) through (D) of this section.
Land development is defined in 24 V.S.A. § 4303 as " the division of a parcel into two or more parcels, the construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation or enlargement of any building or other structure, or of any mining, excavation or landfill, and any change in the use of any building or other structure, or land, or extension of use of land."
Note that if a notice of denial of municipal land use permit is presented to the clerk, it too, must be recorded.
What should a notice of municipal land use permit contain? Bianchi II does not change what is required to be included in a notice of municipal land use permit. The law continues to require that the memorandum list:
- as grantor, the owner of record title to the property at the time the permit, certificate or notice is issued;
- as grantee, the municipality issuing the permit, certificate or notice;
- the municipal or village office where the original, or a true, legible copy of the permit, certificate, statement or notice may be examined;
- whether an appeal of such permit, certificate or notice has been taken;
- tax map lot number or other description identifying the lot.
A permit may be recorded instead of a notice of municipal land use permit. As with the prior law, a town may decide to record a copy of the municipal land use permit instead of a notice of permit. The disadvantage in many towns with multiple permits or lengthy permits is that recording each permit in the land records would quickly become very expensive and would consume valuable vault space.
May multiple permits be included in a single notice of municipal land use permit? Yes, the town clerk may choose to allow more than one permit to be listed on a single notice of municipal land use permit, so long as the notice covers one grantor or set of grantors. Note that if the clerk chooses to allow one notice to contain a number of permits, the clerk should also make it clear whether he or she will charge for this recording as though each notice was recorded individually, or will just charge as though it were a single notice of permit.
How should memoranda and similar documents be indexed? Bianchi II has not changed the law of indexing. With respect to bound volumes, the law continues to require each book to have its own index. It also specifies:
- Each owner of record title to a property at the time of a defined "transaction(s) affecting title to real estate" including deeds and memoranda shall be listed as the grantor.
- Instruments regarding hazardous waste site information, hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal certifications shall be recorded in the land records and the State of Vermont shall be listed as the grantee.
- Underground storage tank information shall likewise be recorded in the land records and the State of Vermont listed as the grantee.
- In the case of municipal permits, certificates of occupancy and similar instruments, the municipality issuing the instrument shall be listed as the grantee.
Who pays for recording permits and notices of permits? Bianchi II still requires that the property owner pay the recording fees. Note that the fee for recording a notice of violation could probably be added to and collected without any fine involved. Where there is no fine, the municipality, and not the landowner, is probably responsible for those fees.

2020 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium
Overview. Statistics are a powerful tool - in research, policymaking, program evaluation, and advocacy. They are used to frame issues, monitor current circumstances and progress, judge the effectiveness of policies and programs, make projections about the future, and predict the costs of potential policy changes.
In the United States, disability statistics – information about the population with disabilities and about the government programs that serve people with disabilities - are often difficult to find. Numerous government agencies generate and publish disability statistics, and as a result, the data are scattered across various federal government documents and websites.
The Annual Disability Statistics Compendium and its complement, the Annual Disability Statistics Supplement, are summaries of statistics about people with disabilities and about the government programs which serve them. The Compendium, available both in hard copy and online (at www.disabilitycompendium.org) presents key overall statistics on topics including the prevalence of disability, employment among persons with disabilities, rates of participation in disability income and social insurance programs, and other statistics. The Annual Disability Statistics Supplement, only available online (also at www.disabilitycompendium.org), presents tables with over 150 additional categorizations of data for each section highlighted in the Compendium.
Notes on the data. The Compendium is a compilation of data from multiple sources, such as the Social Security Administration, Veterans Benefits Administration, and frequently, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, among others. Many of these get updated annually, however some of them have not received an update in recent years. These include selected data from the Social Security Administration (SSA) on the State Assistance Programs for SSI Recipients (last updated in 2011), SSA’s Social Security disability program (last updated in 2019), and the data from the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration (last updated in 2016). We used the most recent data wherever available.
It is also of note that in many cases disability data is broken out into 6 main types (cognitive, ambulatory, hearing, vision, self-care, and independent living), and does not necessarily allow for more fine-grained analysis. For instance, cognitive disability is a category, but this does not tell one the specific type of cognitive disability, such as whether it is related to a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or an Intellectual/Developmental Disorder (IDD).
Exploring other topics. The UNH Institute on Disability is dedicated to thorough research and has explored topics such as understanding the factors associated with the health disparities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities through the Health Disparities Project (https://www.iod.unh.edu/projects/health-disparities-project) and career self-management through job crafting for people with physical and mild cognitive disabilities (https://www.iod.unh.edu/projects/career-self-management-through-job-crafting-people-physical-and-mild-cognitive-disabilities). You can find several of these resources at https://www.iod.unh.edu/information-resources.
You can also find statistics and trends on employment, unemployment, and labor force participation for Americans with Disabilities here at the Employment Policy and Measurement Rehabilitation and Research Training Center (EPM-RRTC) website - https://researchondisability.org/epm-rrtc/resources.
New this year. Though the 2020 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium does not include any new sections, it has incorporated a few changes.
- The source of all statistics previously reported from the American Community Survey 1-year estimates has changed to the American Community Survey public use microdata sample.
- Most statistics based on the American Community Survey public use microdata sample are reported for the age group 18-64 years.
The above-mentioned changes have made the Annual Disability Statistics Compendium more consistent across all tables, however, there may be minor differences between the estimates reported in the past years and the estimates reported this year.
Additional Resources. A companion Annual Report is available, providing graphical representations of key findings. The Annual Report highlights trend data related to specific tables in the Compendium and Supplement. The statistics presented here, as well as those in the Supplement and Annual Report, can be viewed and downloaded at https://www.disabilitycompendium.org.
Help navigating any of the resources described here can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section at https://www.DisabilityCompendium.org/faq.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than $8 billion in new federal loan guarantees to build two nuclear reactors in Georgia could be the first step toward a nuclear renaissance in the United States, three decades after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident halted all new reactor orders.
With the nuclear industry poised to begin construction of at least a half dozen plants over the next decade, President Barack Obama announced the first loan guarantees Tuesday, casting them as both economically essential and politically attractive. He called nuclear power a key part of comprehensive energy legislation that assigns a cost to the carbon pollution of fossil fuels, giving utility companies more incentive to turn to cleaner nuclear fuel.
"This is only the beginning," Obama said in designating the new federal financial backing for a pair of reactors in Burke County, Ga., to be built by Atlanta-based Southern Co. Obama's budget would triple — to $54.5 billion — loan guarantees available for new nuclear construction.

text: Background: Psychosocial stress is one of the consequences of modern lifestyle changing and one of the potential cause of the oxidative imbalance. One of the most popular and effective methods to counter oxidative stress is by consuming antioxidant rich food or supplements. One of a potential source of natural antioxidant is cacao bean due to its rich flavonoids content such as epicatechin, catechin, and procyanidin. Thus, our research aimed to evaluate its antioxidant capacity, focusing on its effect on the level of SOD and ox-LDL in oxidative stress-conditioned-rat. Methods: An experimental Pre and Post Test Control Group Design we conducted using 20 4-months old male Wistar rats which were divided into four groups and three groups (P1-P3) were treated with 70 mg, 140 mg, and 280 mg cacao bean extract while P0 act as a control. Plasma SOD level was examined in Food and Nutrient Study Center of Gadjah Mada University using the technique from Randox Laboratories while ox-LDL evaluation was conducted in Biochemistry Department Udayana University using ELISA with absorbance reading at 450 nm. Results: SOD level begins to significantly increase at dosage 140 mg and continue to rise to 280 mg dose. Meanwhile, the ox-LDL level showed an interesting pattern. In P0, the level of ox-LDL at the end of the study showed a steep increase from 75.62 to 79.17 mg/dL. Meanwhile, all of the treatment group showed a significant decrease in the level of ox-LDL beginning at 70 mg dose and continuously decrease when the dose was doubled (140 mg). However, there were no differences in the level of ox-LDL between 140 mg dose of 280 mg. All the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, cacao bean extract is a potent antioxidant agent also has a great capacity to significantly lowering plasma ox-LDL level.

Passengers taking the strain of transport costs
On Monday Ken Livingstone announced he would be dropping fares by 5% in October 2012 if elected.
And I'm told you can expect similar announcements about fares in the run-up to the mayoral election.
Immediately it means, as expected, fares are a key election battleground and places clear water between Boris Johnson and Mr Livingstone.
The mayor has said he'll stick to his formula of inflation (Retail Price Index) plus 2%; meaning at the moment an average fare rise of 7%.
He says money is needed for infrastructure investment such as Crossrail and the Tube upgrades.
It will be funded, according to Ken Livingstone, by an an operating surplus in the financial year just ended of £728m (.pdf).
However, Transport for London (TfL) was extremely quick to dismiss the idea and says the accounts are "obsolete" and the £728m itself has been spent on countering the cuts from the central government grant.
If this is the case, in an £8bn turnover operation there will be huge reserves that could be used. The question is: what else in terms of investment would go?
Is the question for voters: jam today or jam tomorrow?
Also, saying it has used the £728m fare surplus to counter the government grant, TfL is making a clear link between fare rises and the government cuts.
The commuter is paying for the cuts.
TfL said: "RPI+2% is the consequence of the cost of investment required to deliver these projects and the grant agreed with government through the CSR (Comprehensive Spending Review) to deliver them in the last CSR."
All of this is part of a wider picture of moving the burden from general taxpayer to the user.
My colleague, political editor Tim Donovan and his vast team of number crunchers, have unearthed some fascinating data from credit rating agency Fitch.
It shows how the farepayer is shouldering an ever increasing burden of the cost of public transport.
In TfL's case:
Fares as a percentage of total revenue (year ending 31 March):
- 2006: 43.6
- 2007: 45.4
- 2008: 42.3
- 2009: 54.2
- 2010: 53.7
Also note the change in transfers and grants as a percentage of total revenue including grants in this same period:
- 2006: 42.3
- 2007: 40.7
- 2008: 42.4
- 2009: 27.5
- 2010: 27.6
The bad news for passengers is the figures are only going one way.

Benefits of kiss
Though love is eternal, yet most of us humans never miss to display it. A kiss remains the best way to do it. It is a lovely way to receive and express both love and affection! It is quite astonishing that kissing is such a uniquely human trait passed on from centuries to people around the world. A kiss can be of many hues; it can be sweet, intense, awkward, disappointing, sublime, loving, intimate, and even life-altering. As found, passionate smooch leaves the two people happy. A kiss varies from a kid’s face to a friend's checks, to a lover's lips and display affection. It has evolved to be an excellent mechanism of social bonding as well. But, as unromantic it may sound, a kiss has lots of benefits other than showing love. And it can be indeed said that a kiss a day keeps the doctor away!
1. Whitens your teeth and protects from cavities
A kiss is found to stimulate one's salivary glands to increase saliva production. This saliva washes off plaque which inhibits bacterias. Thus bacterias are removed from your teeth. This, in turn, reduces cavities and also keeps your teeth white. Certainly keeps a dentist at bay.
2. Makes one feel good
A study releases the fact that, a good kiss can leave you to feel good. This is because a kiss stimulates your brain's reward system. And so brain releases neurotransmitters which include vasopressin and oxytocin which is termed to be “the love hormone.” Other fluids released are dopamine, endogenous opioids, and some other neurohormones. These keep the mood balanced and greatly helps in bonding in partners.
3. Controls Blood pressure
Kissing not only improves your emotional side but also gives your anatomical side, a good workout. The heartbeat gets revved, and this helps in lowering of blood pressure. It also dilates your blood, and thus the flow is good to reach every body part.
4. Helps in fighting headache or cramps
Certainly, this will increase your kiss drive, and it is also true. A study reveals that kissing can help you fight your menstrual cramps and headache. As kiss lowers blood pressure, a long kiss can dilate blood, and let it reach each body part. It thus helps in easing off the pain.
5. Kissing burns calories
A kiss is certainly not an excuse to a workout session, but in a passionate makeout session, each deep kiss or smooch can burn up to 16 calories. It also leads to control of cholesterol level in check.
6. Inhibits confidence
The happy hormones released by the brain during kissing leaves a person happy for an entire day. The person works better, is productive, and isn't emotionally distressed and thus it inhibits self-esteem. The person feels connected to its partner, and thus the person remains confident.
7. Makes your face look younger
A passionate and intense makeout session's kiss can be a workout session for your face, neck and jawline muscles which are 34 in number. These are generally responsible for people looking old. If these muscles are worked upon, ye complete face seems tightened and toned. Kissing also favors to boosting production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for beautiful skin. So, kissing tones your facial muscle and improves skin. This, in turn, makes one look younger!
8. Kissing improves Immunity
Kissing involves the exchange of bacteria which can make you mild sick and thus makes you immune to that by exposing you to new bacterias. This increases immunity in one’s body. It was found by a study in 2014. On an average, couples kissing at least nine times a day can share quite an amount of bacteria to improve immunity.
9. Stimulates Sex drive
A simple kiss can work as a key to a great makeout session. As it is found in most cases, kissing can stimulate sex drive in between partners and thus brings equilibrium in sexual compatibility. Testosterone or sex drive hormone gets released into saliva during a kiss, which helps further to wonderful sex. And as studies have revealed, sex itself is a great healthy workout!
10. Improves relationships
As a kiss stands as a symbol of showing love and affection, it increases bonding and understanding. The two people feel more connected, and thus kissing can help in improving relationships. A kiss also shows trust and lets you bare your soul to your soulmate which improves relationship satisfaction. This can play a great role for longer relationships.
There are some more benefits of kissing. It improves lung health, improves cardiovascular activity, makes one more alert and can even cure allergy. So, keep kissing. It's good!

In the evening, I received my packages from UPS (a bit late). Because of the batteries, there was a nice label on the side of the package that had the delivery guy a bit cautious. Rightfully so as Lithium Polymer batteries are dangerous if they get mashed!
So now, we open up and make sure everything survived their half-world journey.
Everything good, we tear into the rest of the boxes and read the instructions. Most were decent documentation, but still lacked some finer points. Like what does switch position 8 do on the transmitter.
The wiring took a moment to identify which connector was what and where to apply the power. That was easy. Plugging the harness in was a little difficult on the transmitter. Power was simple enough and was really the only part that required soldering.
After connecting everything wrong (Twice! Upside down plug), the resilient electronics sprang to life rewarding me with a stretched view of myself.
After a hard day prototyping and test fitting the camera and verifying electronics, its now 3AM and my shift ends in an hour. Time to clean up this mess, recharge the LiPo cell and put it in a safe place.
Tomorrow begins the actual outfitting and fabrication of the camera mount that will hold the camera in place.

Folk In The Town a success in King's Lynn as large crowds flock to Tuesday Market Place for live folk music
Lynn's Tuesday Market Place was alive with music this weekend with the return of Folk in the Town.
The free event which ran on Saturday and Sunday, featured two days of folk, folk rock, bluegrass, and Americana.
It was well attended with a large crowd enjoying the music on both days.
Fourteen acts were performed over the weekend, including Sally Ironmonger, a singer-songwriter whose work draws on folk, poetry, and comedy, and The Salts who play both traditional and original shanties.
Graham Middleton, deputy leader and cabinet member for business, culture and heritage at the borough council, said: “The sun was shining, and the crowd flocked to enjoy over six hours of live music each day in the Tuesday Market Place.
"I would like to thank all the performers and Adrian Tebbutt who organises the event on behalf of the borough council, for putting on another great free live music event in King’s Lynn town centre.
"It encouraged many people to come into town and enjoy what King’s Lynn has to offer.”
This upcoming Sunday there will be more free entertainment in Tuesday Market Place. DJ Mark Purdy will be hosting Soulful Sunday from noon until 5pm.
DJ Sue Simper will also be on stage, and live music will also be performed by the soul band, The Soft Tone Needles.

And make sure to check out Monday’s Frog Blog, where we’ll be presenting the countries in Groups A and B.
IRAN should be celebrating their fourth World Cup but the controversy surrounding their nuclear programme led to teams refusing to travel to play them in friendlies for fear of political sanctions. Because of this, manager Carlos Queiroz managed to persuade the Iranian football federation to bring forward the end of the domestic season to April in order to prepare for the tournament: here.
Nigeria can complete an international competition double when they head to Brazil as they aim to add the World Cup to their African Nations triumph last year. After stuttering in the early stages of qualification they eased past Ethiopia to book their place at the finals but many consider the Super Eagles as rank outsiders to become the first African nation to lift the trophy: here.


PS5 fans have today found out all they need to know about the PlayStation 5’s UI thanks to a surprise State of Play that Sony has dropped out of the blue. The deep dive into the PS5 UI lasts for over 11 minutes, with Sony showcasing the sleek new operating system and explaining the features of it. Announcing the PS5 UI reveal, the official PlayStation Twitter posted: “Surprise! Watch a tour of PS5’s next-generation user experience in a special episode of State of Play, presented in 4K”.
While a blog post Sony said: “With less than a month until launch, we’re thrilled to share our very first look at the PlayStation 5 console’s user experience (UX).
“The new UX is completely centered on the player – to provide you a truly next-generation experience with deeper immersion that quickly connects you to great games and a passionate gaming community.”
One of the big new features of the PS5 UI will be the Control Centre will provides “immediate access” to almost everything you need at the single press of a button.
All of these options will be displayed to a PS5 user without leaving a game.
Elsewhere the PS5 UI adds a new feature called Activities which brings you “closer to the key elements of gameplay”.
Explaining how this works Sony said: “Activities are displayed via on-screen cards in the Control Center, which enables you to discover new gameplay opportunities, go back to things you missed, jump directly into levels or challenges you want to play, and much more.
“Some Activity cards can be put in picture-in-picture mode, so you can view them without having to leave the game.”
The PS5 makers added: “Navigating the interface, switching between games, and hopping into online matches occurs quickly, as we rebuilt the entire software stack from the console to the network to bring you a truly next-generation experience.
“We believe the less time you spend waiting to interact with the system, the more time you will have to spend playing games.”
You can watch the full reveal of the PS5 UI in this article via the YouTube video embed.

When investing in companies of a lower credit quality, loss given default risk is the key threat that investors have to assess. Consequently, covenant protection is a crucial consideration before lending capital to a company. We wrote about covenant protection back in 2014 and it’s fair to say that covenant quality in the high yield market hasn’t improved much since then; actually quite the opp… Read the article

In March, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced that the UK Government was to make £60 million available to invest in energy research.
The money is going through a group (the 'Energy Research Accelerator' (ERA)) of seven Midlands-based universities, that have a strong background in research into new heating and cooling technologies. The universities include Birmingham, Aston, Nottingham, Loughborough, Warwick, Leicester and the British Geological Survey.
Gordon Waddington, CEO of ERA, explained that the group is keen to fund research on storage of cold and hot energy, and to overcome the current challenges with thermal energy.
Professor Martin Freer, Director of the Birmingham Energy Institute and host of the event, highlighted the scope of the challenge. He stated that 40% of the energy used in the UK is from heat demand. Cold and cooling accounts for between 10% and 15% of UK electricity demand. ERA aims to bring the challenges of heat and cold demand together. ERA aims to drive and coordinate research activity within the group.
Professor Freer was asked how they were measuring the success of the project. ERA will be judged on how many jobs it creates and how much growth it stimulates. He explained that seven years ago 90,000 people worked in the energy industry. Today, 130,000 people work in the sector. Freer suggested that there was scope for another 100,000 jobs in energy, although not all of them would be based in the UK.
Gordon Waddington stated:
"We don't have to make everything succeed in this plan, which means we can try things to find what works."
"The chancellor thinks it is so important that he announced the funding three times. The universities within ERA assured the chancellor they will work together and not compete. This excited him politically."
"This a bottom-up initiative to create infrastructure organically," Professor Freer explained.
Research into Heating and Cooling
Bob Critoph from I-STUTE at Warwick University explained the research his team is doing in retail refrigeration with ASDA. He also put forward a point of view that the he believes there will be a large market for gas heat pumps which are homes on the gas grid can use to reduce their gas consumption and bills becuase of their efficiency compared to condensing boilers.
Toby Peters, CEO of the Dearman Engine Company, opened the section of the seminar on cooling research. He pointed out that only 0.2% of energy research goes into cooling research. He also explained that in emerging markets 40% of the food is lost post-harvest because of the lack of refrigeration. If these markets had the same level of sophistication in the cold chain hundreds of tonnes of food could be saved.
Mr Peters explained that, in transport, 20% of the fuel used is for refrigeration. He described it as “cool powered by dirty diesel”. In his view, 'clean cold' is a massive market opportunity. His hope for the ERA funding is for the UK to build on its current strengths and to take a lead on the rapidly emerging markets.
Lack of Skilled Engineers
Speakers agreed that a bug, cultural shift is needed when it comes to the country's approach to heating and cooling. People need to think in a different way to make the ideas successful financially and practically. A new type of engineer will be needed; an engineer that understands not only heating, ventilation and air conditioning, but also electrics and plumbing.
People will be reluctant to adopt new technologies, as has been shown by the heat pump market which has been slow to take off. Speakers suggested that new funding models are necessary to enable householders to lease new heating or cooling systems for short periods to see if it worked for them.

The Department of Defense awarded 10 new defense contracts Thursday, worth $1.094 billion in total. United Technologies won the day's biggest contract, a $550 million deal to supply the Navy with 37 helicopters. But the second biggest contract of the day went to American Water Works Company (NYSE:AWK).
Specifically, it went to AWW's American Water Operations & Maintenance (AWOM) subsidiary, which won a fixed-price with economic-price-adjustment contract worth up to $288 million from the U.S. Air Force. Under this contract, AWOM will assume ownership of, and responsibility for, operating and maintaining the water distribution and wastewater collection systems at Hill Air Force Base in Utah through January 2064.
The Pentagon has been awarding multiple such contracts to private utility companies such as AWW in recent months. For example, in September, Middlesex Water (NASDAQ:MSEX) subsidiary Tidewater Utilities was awarded a $32 million contract to assume ownership of, and take responsibility for, operating and maintaining the water distribution system at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the next 50 years. Separately, that same month, Piedmont Natural Gas (NYSE:PNY) won a $108 million contract to assume ownership of, and take responsibility for, operating and maintaining a natural gas distribution system located at an "undisclosed location" in North Carolina through September 2066.
Today's award to American Water Work, however, is worth more than twice those two previous contracts combined.

Contrary to the traditional method of mass production, smart manufacturing relies on renewable energy. It was introduced with the objective of optimizing energy consumption, controlling waste production, and reducing poisonous emissions. As it is eco-friendly, it significantly boosts the environmental footprint and helps businesses comply with local and global environmental regulations.
- Optimization Leading To Differentiation:
Being different doesn’t always mean staying ahead of the competition. It also involves exploring new avenues of research and the development of better business models, new services, and products based on futuristic technologies (e.g., nanotechnology, bioinformatics, etc.). The concept of smart manufacturing allows businesses to acquire product variance through research, experimentation, and trials based on real-time insights without compromising quality or exceeding the project budget. It helps manufacturers stand out from the crowd.
- Quick Implementation Resulting In Better Business:
In the case of smart manufacturing, operators can quickly implement any changes in the current process, apply different technologies, or upgrade existing protocols. It avoids low-quality products & allows companies to predict market conditions, reduce delivery times, overcome unforeseen challenges, and meet customer demands. It guarantees better customer satisfaction, builds a solid brand reputation, and lets manufacturers expand their business beyond the local markets.

Sisi underlines the ‘need at ascending in the costs of pita’ however how might he bear its expense
Following 44 years, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi declared the ascent of the cost of pita, something that the nation and the current age were not anticipating. Sisi is quickly moving towards executing monetary changes however what he principal needs is the help of individuals of his nation yet will it be conceivable with the new line of moves by the president?
The climb in the cost of bread was dropped like a bomb on individuals at the commitment of a Silo Foods food creation complex close to Cairo. As of late, the Arab country’s chief said that the opportunity has arrived to build the cost of pita.
With this declaration, the entire went into shock contemplating the reasons why this choice was taken. Sisi said, “It’s unfathomable that for 20 pitas, individuals address the cost of a solitary cigarette.” The declaration clarified that there are some significant changes that the country needs to observe.
It is to be noticed that for more than forty years, the nation has not once seen an ascent in a pita. In any event, during the Arab spring, a nonaggression treaty with Israel, the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood in addition to other things, the nation kept on keeping its bread consecrated yet presently it has at long last been shown the weight of the financial thunder prepared to rush in the third call.
Almost three years prior, Sisi settled on some significant decisions to change the financial design of the country. Obviously, the ascent in pita was not on cards then, at that point but rather the current reference, particularly with a continuous pandemic in see, is quickly evolving this.
He had effectively decreased appropriations for fuel, which was there in the country for a significant long time. Different things, for example, power and certain food things additionally saw a decrease in appropriation yet pita’s rate stayed steady during this time. However, since it has been done, it further reinforces the instance of a forthcoming monetary breakdown.
Sisi is very much aware of what happens when individuals witness an ascent in bread. During president Anwar Sadat, when the costs were raised individuals began to viciously show against the choice and that prompted the killing of more than 70 individuals and furthermore left many of them injured. Sadat had to reclaim his choice however Sisi has let it all out regardless of that. This is sufficient to comprehend the degree of the harm that the pandemic has done to its economy.
Sisi needing to cancel appropriations is completely reasonable particularly after a new report uncovering that Egypt goes through $2.9 billion per year in these questions of which $1.8 percent goes to the financed bread. The International Monetary Fund had passed an advance to Egypt in 2016 just depending on the prerequisite that it should chop down its endowments, which the nation is starting to follow.
This extraordinarily diminished the ubiquity of the president. Twitter was raged with individuals faulting the public authority for the monetary breakdown that the nation is going to. Does many Twitter deal with said that with all the development work that Sisi approved costing somewhere near $350 billion, he is raising the cost of pita?
In any case, the choice has been taken and the move only proposes that the abolishment of different sponsorships is additionally on cards. With respect to Sisi, he should do his best such that individuals see financial changes in the coming a very long time for them to support a particularly colossal move, or there will be consequences, he may need to leave the seat of the most crowded.

The Titan I was one of the United States' first strategic, intercontinental ballistic missiles. The 98-foot-long, two-staged missile was fueled by kerosene and liquid oxygen, and was designed to carry nuclear warheads.
Developed in the late 1950's, the first Titan I missiles became operational in April of 1962. During the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962, the Titans were readied for launch as a deterrent in the crisis. The Titan I's had a short operational life and were phased out by 1965.
Each individual Titan I missile complex contained three underground launch silos, that each housed one Titan I missile. Launch silos are 160-feet deep and 40-feet in diameter. Other underground structures include a powerhouse, control center, radio antennas and a myriad of tunnels. Complexes covered between 30 to 60 acres.

So I assume your AVR extends from -80dB to +20dB give or take. I personally use Marantz SR5007 but any properly calibrated and normally functional amplifier should have the same loudness with the same dB number, right?
What's your typical volume when watching a movie on surround format (Dolby, DTS and all their derivatives). That is the question
In 15' x 12' room I find that I need to crank up around -25dB to -20dB to adequately hear all channels clearly and shivering LFE. Note that it's only during movie playback session with native Dolby/DTS
In contrast when listening to music or any stereo source using direct stereo or multichannel (PL II or Neo:6) I found -40dB to -35dB to be loud enough.
What's with the difference? Is that normal if a Dolby/DTS track somewhat softer than typical stereo source? If you could explain that would be good.
It's kinda annoy me that I need to crank up the volume wheel for watching movies while music/stereo source could go louder with the same dB
.. Do you feel the same?
Share me your experiences with your AVR during movie watching or music listening, tell me your room size and don't forget to help by filling the poll. Thank you so much, people.

UPDATE (5:36 P.M.) – Governor Whitmer thanked Chief Justice Bridget McCormick for her leadership in the court before introducing Bolden.
Bolden comes with experience as the state representative for Southfield. She was a law clerk and has been an attorney for eight years.
On election day, the Democrat nominee came in third in the race for two open slots. Bolden says in the span of a few generations, her family has gone from facing injustice to being in a position to ensure the law is carried out fairly.
“And so to all the people of the state of Michigan, I swear to you this oath, this promise, this commitment. I swear that I will faithfully serve our state and you, its people. I promise I will judge each case fairly, impartially and without fear or favor. And I swear I will pursue equal justice under the law for this generation and the next,” Bolden said.
Both Governor Whitmer and Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist say Bolden will serve as an example for the state’s younger generations.
When Bolden joins the court in January, the bench will keep a Democrat majority.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to appoint the first Black woman to the Michigan Supreme Court, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Kyra Harris Bolden is Whitmer’s choice to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Justice Bridget McCormack, spokesman Bobby Leddy said.
An afternoon announcement was planned.
Bolden is a state lawmaker from the Detroit area who has been a licensed lawyer for only eight years. She was a Democratic nominee for the Supreme Court in the Nov. 8 election but finished third in a race for two seats.
Bolden, 34, will join the court in January after her House term expires. Democrats will continue to have a 4-3 majority on the court.
“Kyra is passionate about the law and will be the first Black woman ever to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court,” Whitmer said. “She will bring a unique perspective to our high court as a Black woman — and as a new working mom — that has too long been left out.”
The governor also touched on Bolden’s Southfield roots, her work as a state representative, law clerk and litigator.
“Kyra is committed to fighting for justice for generations, and I know she will serve Michigan admirably, building a brighter future for her newborn daughter and all our kids,” said Whitmer.
Bolden said that she was honored to be chosen by Whitmer for the appointment.
I will ensure equal access to justice, apply the law without fear or favor, and treat all who come before our state’s highest court with dignity and respect. I also know that this moment – becoming the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court – would not be possible without leaders like Judges Shelia Johnson, Debra Nance, Deborah Thomas, Cynthia Stephens, and Denise Langford Morris. These are the Black women who blazed the path that I seek to follow. I hope that my voice on the Court will inspire future generations to pursue their dreams. I am humbled by this honor, and I am ready to get to work on behalf of all Michiganders.”Kyra Harris Bolden
Black men from both political parties have served as Supreme Court justices: Democrats Dennis Archer and Conrad Mallett, and Republicans Robert Young Jr. and Kurtis Wilder. Wilder was the last, losing an election in 2018.
McCormack said in September that she was stepping down with six years left in her term. She served as chief justice until this week when members of the court chose Justice Elizabeth Clement to take over.
“Michigan’s courts are on a steady path to becoming more accessible, more engaged and more inclusive, and today’s addition to the Supreme Court is a groundbreaking step forward,” Clement said.
If Bolden wants to keep the seat through 2028, she must run in the 2024 election.
She worked as a lawyer in civil litigation before her 2018 election to the House. Bolden also worked for a Wayne County judge and was a court-appointed defense lawyer in a Southfield court.

History is a way of knowing that studies the documented past. It also raises questions to understand, for example, whether it is possible to speak in a serious way about an historical fact based on something that has happened and what that fact might consist of, or to what extent we can speak truthfully of anything that has happened in the past. Studying history also deepens our way of understanding human behavior, since everything reflected on the past can help us to understand our present.
History is important. If you don’t know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.
— Howard Zinn
History raises many questions, this ones inform us and help us to cope with the present with less possibility of falling into error than in the past, since thanks to history we have the answer to most things. Historical documents that have been collected over time also play an important role in history, leading to questions based on whether or not such information could be considered reliable.
“History is for human self-knowledge… the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is.”
It is true that historical writing could be subjective, since historians are influenced by the social and historical environment in which they write, and this inevitably affects their selection and interpretation of evidence, but that is inevitable, we are all in a way influenced by society and the times we live in. History teach us many things which, if they were not documented under history, would hinder us in the present, because everything learned from the past through history can help us better understand the world and the human beings. So History must be known as an AOK.
2 thoughts on “History as a AOK”
Cristina, as with many of your classmates’ posts, this is too general. You need to refer to specific passages from several of the assigned articles; examine the tools and methods used by historians and readers of history to ensure accuracy; analyze alternative perspectives; compare & contrast with other AOKs; consider how the Ways of Knowing operate in historical studies; etc. Additional editing and proofreading are needed as well.
I think that if you used specific examples it would be much stronger. You have a lot of good points, but what about when the history is false/incorrect and then we don’t do that because someone said that it was bad. I think a lot of time people test the history out and try and prove or go against it so I don’t think that it gives less error.

Lettuce is a broad category of easy-to-grow salad greens There are so many different varieties of lettuce, that it would be impossible to describe them all. When shopping for the kinds of lettuce you want to grow, keep these four general types in mind:
- Butterhead—The small, round, loosely formed heads with soft and tender leaves.
- Crisphead—The large, round, tightly packed heads commonly called iceberg lettuce.
- Leaf lettuce—The easiest lettuce to grow has leaves that branch from a single stalk in a loose bunch.
- Romaine—Elongated heads of lettuce with dark outer leaves and a crunchy midrib.
How to Grow Lettuce
The key to growing great lettuce, no matter what type, is to give the plants enough room to grow, to grow them quickly and provide plenty of moisture. Lettuce grows best when it’s allowed to mature in cool weather. If temperatures turn too hot, the heading varieties won’t form a head.
If you want to grow from lettuce transplants, start seeds indoors in early spring. Plants take 4 weeks to reach transplant size. Time the planting before the last average frost date for a spring harvest. A fall harvest can be planted in mid-to-late summer.
- Lettuce will grow in just about any good, well-drained garden soil. Before planting either lettuce seed or transplants, prepare the planting bed (or large container) by digging in compost or well-aged manure. An addition of pre-plant fertilizer will give plants a headstart.
- Wait for the garden soil to warm to at least 35 degrees before planting. The best weather for growing lettuce is when days are warm (mid-60s to low-70s) and nights are still cool (45 to 55 degrees). Warmer daytime temperatures can cause heads to soften, become bitter or bolt (go to seed prematurely).
- Even if temperatures drop to below freezing, lettuce will slow but will continue growing when temperatures warm up.
- Plant lettuce seeds ¼ inch deep and several inches apart.
- For head lettuce, allow 8-12 inches between plants; 12 or more inches between rows.
- Leaf lettuce can be broadcast or spread over the planting area.
- Thin plants as needed to make sure heads have enough space to reach their full size. After thinning, sidedress with a nitrogen fertilizer.
- Make sure plants receive adequate water. Work to keep lettuce growing quickly to avoid problems associated with hot weather, like brown spots or bolting.
- Baby lettuce can be cut at any time the leaves reach several inches in size. Cut the plant, leaving a few inches of stem, so the plants will continue to grow.
- Looseleaf lettuce can be harvested in as little as 40 days, depending on the variety. Snip the outer leaves and let the remaining leaves to continue to grow.
- Butterhead and romaine type lettuces are usually ready in 50 to 70 days; crisphead lettuce takes longer, usually 70-120 days from seeding. Cut heads at ground level with a sharp knife.
- Wash, dry and store lettuce in airtight bags in the refrigerator and use as quickly as possible.
Plant lettuce with these companions:
Avoid planting near cabbages.
Materials for Success
- Soil thermometer
- Soaker hose
- High-quality compost and manure
- Light-weight mulch
- Dry fertilizer, high in nitrogen
- Small scissors for cutting leaf lettuce; sharp knife for harvesting mature heads

Vinicio Riva deserves kindness and compassion as much as any other human on this earth. However, due to the disfiguring bumpy growths caused by neurofibromatosis type 1, he has experienced quite the opposite for much of his life.
On 6 November 2013 Mr. Riva traveled with a group from Northern Italy to Vatican City in hopes of seeing Pope Francis during one of his public audiences. Sitting in a wheelchair at the time, Mr. Riva was moved towards the front of the crowd in St. Peter’s Square by a member of the Swiss Guard. Enter Pope Francis who, without pause, embraced Mr. Riva.

That decision will cost you half a cent. Are you sure that's the right move?
If you're a gamer, decentralized applications (dapps) hold an enticing promise: you might finally be able to truly own virtual in-game items and accumulate them without worrying about a company changing the rules and taking them away. But as with other big blockchain ideas, that's not quite a reality today.
One reason is the economics of how this would work are uncertain. To commit an action to the ethereum blockchain, users need to expend gas, a unit of value that's priced in ether, the network's cryptocurrency, and that fluctuates based on how much other people are using the network at any given time.
For Loom Network, a startup specializing in applying blockchain technology to gaming dapps, that just won't do. Constant microtransactions harm user experience, even if network traffic isn't pushing up gas prices at a given moment, as happened during the recent CryptoKitties boom.
Loom co-founder James Duffy told CoinDesk in a recent interview, "there's just a mental transaction cost."
"Even if you're spending a fraction of a penny every time you move your character, people still have to make decisions about whether it's worthwhile to make a move [when] they know every single thing they're doing is costing them."

- The cradle of dodgy pandemic jokes in Europe is having a renaissance
- India Inc has a joke, and you would want to hear it. Kunal Bahl, Edelweiss AMC CEO & Paytm founder join Twitter trend
- Amid job losses, climate change & corona-related blues, millennials find refuge in dark humour, crack self-referential jokes
Well, the latest mystery surrounds the wisecracks (that everyone now has thought fit to call ‘remarks’ lest they seem to encourage a snigger) made by stand-up Munawar Faruqui in Indore.
Faruqui and four others were reportedly arrested on Friday, not by the Joke Police (who apparently pounce on anyone who is unable to make them laugh) but by the actual Indore Police.
The supposed jokes were considered very poor — allegedly against Hindu deities, including the Union home minister, and on the 2002 Godhra train burning in Gujarat.
Once, when deathly silence, boos and rotting vegetables would suffice as the comedian’s critique, arrests have become almost de rigueur, if not yet de jure.
India Inc has a joke, and you would want to hear it. Kunal Bahl, Edelweiss AMC CEO & Paytm founder join Twitter trend
One should thank one’s stars that public stoning or burning at the stake isn’t an incentive for comedians to get more serious in this country. Be that as it may, we actually have not been told by media or beyond what Faruqui’s jokes were.
Which brings us to the eternal conundrum: how can we trust a justice that doesn’t utter anything about the crime it has taken action against? If that isn’t creepy, it would’ve made a damn, fine joke.

LONDON (Reuters) - The new director-general of BBC is to be the current chief executive of the Royal Opera House, Tony Hall, BBC television news said on Thursday.
Hall, a former chief executive of BBC news, will replace George Entwistle who resigned earlier this month after failing to get to grips with a child sex abuse scandal that has thrown the 90-year-old state-funded broadcaster into turmoil.

Homegrown handset maker Intex has silently added a new smartphone to its portfolio dubbed the Intex Aqua Power M. The company, which is headquartered in New Delhi, has updated its website with this new product. A couple of weeks ago, the company had introduced its budget Intex Cloud Scan FP in India. Priced at Rs 3,999, Intex Cloud Scan FP is probably the cheapest Android phone with a fingerprint scanner every released in the Indian market.
Enough of what Intex has done previously, let’s focus on the newly unveiled Intex Aqua Power M for now. Talking of specs, the Intex Aqua Power M comes with a standard 5-inch IPS LCD screen, boasting 1280 x 720 pixels HD resolution. Intex has been fairly consistent with the integration of 720p HD screen as far as its entry-level budget Android phones are concerned.
Moving on, the phone is powered by a 1.3GHz Quad-Core MediaTek MT6735 processor, coupled with 1GB RAM and Mali-T720 GPU for graphics. The limited 8GB internal storage is expandable up to 32GB with the help of microSD card.
It houses a 5-megapixel rear camera mated with a 2-megapixel selfie camera. It is worth noting that both the cameras come with dual-tone LED flash. The Intex Aqua Power M is a Dual-SIM device which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. It also packs in a massive 4350mAh battery which Intex claims to offer up to 25 hours of talk time.
The connectivity options include 3G HSPA+, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, and FM Radio. The Intex Aqua Power M comes in Champagne colour option, priced at Rs 4,800 in the Indian market.

Raleigh testing alert system on CAT bus
Posted June 13, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — The City of Raleigh's Capital Area Transit bus system is running a pilot program to test an automated voice warning system to alert pedestrians that a bus is turning before they cross the street.
A device installed on the bus' steering column automatically triggers an alert when the wheel turns to a 45-degree angle and the bus is traveling less than 11 mph.
Once activated, the front of the bus emits three blasts of white noise followed by a female voice announcing that it is making a turn.
The warning unit is currently installed on one bus, but the city has plans to install it on 11 other buses.


The Financial Post started as a weekly newspaper for the Toronto business community in 1912. It evolved into a daily tabloid for the Canadian business community; so much so that Conrad Black identified it as a foundation on which he could build the National Post 24 years ago.
We’re determined to keep bringing value to our subscribers. And, starting this week, we will be introducing content that only subscribers can access.
Today at noon, subscribers are invited to join me and FP video host Larysa Harapyn for a conversation about the state of the economy in the aftermath of the latest inflation numbers. Larysa will be taking your questions and I’ll offer some perspective on what the data say about interest rates, the housing market, and whether we’re headed for a recession.
But those are only suggestions. Ask us anything. We’re calling this series “FP Interactive” for a reason. We want to hear from you, the most dedicated members of our audience.
