Posted on 02/24/2013 6:55:22 AM PST by SeekAndFind
The major objection most Republicans have to the coming sequestration budget cuts is that the cuts will fall disproportionately on the Department of Defense. Thats true; defense spending is about one-fifth of the federal budget but will take about half of the sequester cuts.
But even for the Pentagon, the cuts are only to the rate of growth for the defense budget in coming years. They are not actual cuts that make spending decline. In a February publication, The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023, the Congressional Budget Office (summary here, full report here) outlines the increases in defense spending that will happen even with the various spending caps and sequestration cuts that are currently law. Table 1-5 (Outlays) on page 30 outlines projected defense spending in the coming decade. For 2014, the figure is $593 billion. For 2015, it is $597 billion. For 2016, $611 billion. For 2017, $619 billion. For 2018, $628 billion. For 2019, $648 billion. For 2020, $663 billion. For 2021, $679 billion. For 2022, $702 billion. And for 2023, $714 billion.
In other words, defense spending will increase in every year, even with sequestration cuts.
Readers may notice that the figures cited above include war-related spending of between $75 billion and $103 billion for the entire decade to come. Because the war in Afghanistan is going on now, and there is no law to stop spending on the war at some point in the future, the CBO is bound to assume that the spending will continue. The rules the CBO has to follow are that any spending on the books (current law) is assumed to grow at the rate of inflation, says former CBO chief Douglas Holtz-Eakin. That means that it overstates spending when you plan to cut back in the future but have not yet passed a law (future appropriation) that reflects it.
But assume that U.S. involvement in the war in Afghanistan does end in the next year or so, and that war spending goes down or even disappears altogether. Even in that scenario, defense spending is scheduled to increase in every year except one, even with sequestration cuts. The CBOs numbers, minus war spending, begin with $518 billion in 2014. For 2015, the number is $510 billion. For 2016, $520 billion. For 2017, $525 billion. For 2018, $532 billion. For 2019, $549 billion. For 2020, $563 billion. And for 2021, $576 billion. (The CBO chart does not have relevant numbers for 2022 and 2023.)
So under a scenario of continued war in Afghanistan and under a scenario of no war in Afghanistan, and everything in between, defense spending is scheduled to rise steadily in the next decade, even with sequestration cuts.
Were there real cuts under Clinton, or was that just rate of spending growth also? Was that part of the “Road to 9/11”?
I don’t know about defense in particular but spending still increased under Clinton, it was just slowed to under 50 billion a year.
The road to 9/11 came after Mogadishu when Al Qaeda kept attacking us and Clinton kept failing to respond. Defense cuts didn’t play a role in that, the will to fight back did.
Relative to inflation?
No it won't.

|DCP Chhaya Sharma amid protesters|
The trouble began over reports that mourners who were taking part in the Chehallum observance were forcing open a gate that has been closed on a court order.
The police had a face-off the mourners. Tempers soared and the policemen lathi-charged the assembly. As report of the clash spread, tension gripped the South Delhi area. Muslim leaders and senior officials rushed to the spot. Local residents said that police used excessive force.
They alleged that policemen also fired in air apart from using tear gas shells though the situation didn't warrant such action. Policemen said that there was stone pelting from the Shia community and this led to the violence. But the situation was brought under control.
A senior Deputy Commissioner ranked officer who reached the Jor Bagh dargah, assured the agitators that those who had been detained would be released. Police accepted that crowd was lathi-charged but denied charges of firing.

Sheletha Dy’Nette Stokes is the unique name my parents chose for me. Born and raised in the small town of Coila, Mississippi with nothing more to do, reading and writing became my favorite things to do. It was not until after a personal, hurtful life experience I had that lead me to begin writing short stories and novels. My first writing, BitterSweet Dilemma, was an experience I was working on secretly, until one day; my sister opened my laptop and began reading. She instantly requested for more. After the passing of my closest aunt, paper and pencil became my new best friend making me realize I had a passion for writing.
Finishing up I Desired Her, She Desired Him, I knew that more than anything I wanted to see my name on this book. I knew I wanted the world to see my work. After twenty seven years and two small children, I want to be an inspirer to someone letting them know that no matter what you have been through in life, no matter what wrong turn you have taken, no matter how you are criticized or talked about, your past does not determine who or what you can be in the future.

Aquatest incubator is a low-cost phase-change incubator initially designed for microbiological water testing particularly in conjunction with the Aquatest kit. However, it can also be adapted for other fields, including clinical microbiology, environmental monitoring, and sample transport. The portable and user-friendly incubator does not require an electrical power supply for testing.
The Aquatest incubator was developed as part of the Aquatest project. This was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. There was only a limited number produced for trials and evaluation. The incubator worked well, although the Aquatest device itself was less successful, therefore the product itself is discontinued for now. Interview with representative, August 2020
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Market Suggested Retail Price
Target Users (Target Impact Group)
Distributors / Implementing Organizations
This product was supposed to be implemented by 17 organizations in 16 countries especially through water suppliers, health surveillance agencies, international NGOs, and researchers.

Intellectural Property Type
User Provision Model
Distributions to Date Status
The Aquatest incubator is a small and portable microbiological water testing device that weighs around 2 Kg. The device doesn't require any power source for operation. It utilizes a vacuum flask to provide a high level of insulation and a phase change material (PCM) to store energy in the form of latent heat. The incubator works on the heat transferred from the boiling water to the PCM. 500 mL of boiling water is poured on the incubation chamber of the device and after 30+ mins the water is thrown out of the chamber as the heat would already melt the PCM material inside and make it ready to use. The temperature inside the flask is automatically maintained around 37ºC which is the adequate temperature for the growth of E. coli bacteria. The sample is then put inside the incubator and allowed to rest for 24 hr before the analysis.
None available, this product is discontinued.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani stressed Tehran’s seriousness in its nuclear talks with the world powers, but meantime, voiced opposition to any further extension of the negotiations.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is serious about reaching an agreement in the nuclear negotiations and doesn’t agree with the extension of negotiations,” Larijani said in a meeting with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Tehran on Monday.
He also underscored the necessity for the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) to show political will to reach an agreement with Iran.
Wang, for his part, stressed China’s commitment to the peaceful settlement of Iran’s nuclear issue under any conditions, and said he believed that an agreement should be reached which provides the interests of both sides.
“The West is using the nuclear issue as a pretext to prevent Iran’s progress and economic development,” he added.
In relevant remarks in January, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed the failure of the West’s pressure policy on Tehran, and said no one in Iran believes in the further extension of the nuclear talks with the world powers beyond the July deadline.
“I believe that the other side should understand this reality that if it wants to reach an agreement with Iran, it won’t be possible through keeping pressure, as Iranians don’t strike agreements under pressure,” Zarif told FNA.
Asked if extension of the nuclear talks after the upcoming deadline of July 10 would be among possible options, he said, “It is too difficult to imagine that this time can be extended again.”
“No one in the Islamic Republic seems to be ready for another extension in this round (of talks),” Zarif added.
He, meantime, described reaching a final deal with the G5+1 as “completely possible”, and said, “We don’t have any problems and our nuclear program is completely peaceful and all measures which are due to be adopted are aimed at ensuring them that this program is peaceful and no problem exists in this regard.”
The 10th round of negotiations between Iran and the six world powers was held in Vienna from November 18 to 24, where the seven nations decided to extend the talks until July after they failed to strike an agreement.
The latest round of the nuclear talks between the two sides was held at the level of deputy foreign ministers in Geneva, Switzerland, on January 18.
The two sides decided to continue their talk in February without specifying the time and venue.
Both Iran and the G5+1 negotiators have underlined that cutting a final deal before the July 10 deadline is possible.

Tulare Irrigation District applies for groundwater grant
By Kaitlin Washburn
TULARE – The Tulare Irrigation District is seeking a grant to develop a groundwater exchange market with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
The grant would determine the viability of a water market for the Kaweah subbasin, which would involve the groundwater sustainability agencies managing the subbasin: Mid-Kaweah, Greater Kaweah and East Kaweah.
Paul Hendrix, the general manager for the Mid-Kaweah groundwater sustainability agency (GSA), said all three GSAs would be involved in developing a water market for the Kaweah subbasin and deciding how the market is shaped.
Under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), groundwater users are allocated a certain amount of the water supply. Agencies can facilitate the exchange of those allocations among users, like growers, rural communities and municipalities, creating a market.
The Tulare Irrigation District is a member of the Mid-Kaweah groundwater sustainability agency (GSA), but the grant was submitted on behalf of the entire Kaweah subbasin, Hendrix said.
The grant will help the three GSAs to develop a potential strategy for creating a groundwater market. The plan would identify willing groundwater buyers and sellers, develop contracts, rules and policies for the market and administer the trading of groundwater allocations.
The Visalia City Council unanimously approved a letter supporting the grant application at a recent meeting. In the letter, Bob Link, Visalia’s mayor, said creating a water market is a necessity for the Kaweah subbasin.
“We believe strongly that this project will be an effective tool for implementing SGMA in a way that will allow greater irrigation and domestic water supply flexibility for growers, municipalities, rural communities and other individual water users within the Kaweah subbasin,” Link said in the letter.
On Thursday, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) announced a plan, in partnership with the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District, to build the first groundwater market in the Central Valley.
The market will be an online, open-source trading platform where groundwater users can trade water allocations, according to an EDF news release announcing the platform.
“Groundwater trading will be one of many strategies that will be needed to enable farmers to become much more innovative in how they manage their water. This new platform will serve as a valuable way to connect potential buyers and sellers,” said Christina Babbitt, senior manager of EDF’s California groundwater program.
An early design of the platform will be available in September. In early 2020, a group of landowners working with the organizations will test the platform with real water trades.
The platform will offer users an online account where they can see their annual groundwater allocation and post an offer to buy or sell water. Other users can respond to the offer, either countering or agreeing to the price. If a deal is reached, any financial transaction will happen outside of the platform, according to the news release.
“Designing trading programs the right way from the start to protect all groundwater stakeholders, including disadvantaged communities and ecosystems, will be critical to their success,” Babbitt said.

Purpose: Transformation of follicular lymphoma is a critical event associated with a poor prognosis. The role of the tumor microenvironment in previous transformation studies has yielded conflicting results. Experimental Design: To define cell subtypes associated with transformation, we examined tissue specimens at diagnosis from patients with follicular lymphoma that later transformed and, using immunohistochemistry (IHC), stained for CD68, CD11c, CD21, CXCL13, FOXP3, PD1, and CD14. Cell content and the pattern of expression were evaluated. Those identified as significantly associated with time to transformation (TTT) and overall survival (OS) were further characterized by flow cytometry and multicolor IHC. Results: Of note, 58 patients were analyzed with median TTT of 4.7 years. The pattern of PD1+ and CD14+ cells rather than the quantity of cells was predictive of clinical outcomes. On multivariate analysis, including the follicular lymphoma international prognostic index score, CD14+ cells localized in the follicle were associated with a shorter TTT (HR, 3.0; P = 0.004).PD1+ cells with diffuse staining were associated with a shorter TTT (HR, 1.9; P = 0.045) and inferior OS (HR, 2.5; P = 0.012). Multicolor IHC and flow cytometry identified CD14+ cells as follicular dendritic cells (FDC), whereas PD1+ cells represented two separate populations, TFH and exhausted T cells. Conclusion: These results identify the presence of PD1+ T cells and CD14+ FDC as independent predictors of transformation in follicular lymphoma.

Recognizing that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will pave the way for safe resumption of face-to-face classes, the Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday, May 13, announced the launch of a campaign to support the national vaccination drive of the government.
Dubbed, “Vacc2School: Ligtas na Bakuna, Para sa Balik-Eskwela!” the campaign aims to inform, educate, and engage its teaching, non-teaching personnel and other stakeholders in promoting the vaccination drive and other related policies to mitigate COVID-19.
The campaign was also contextualized to support the BIDA Solusyon Plus sa COVID-19 campaign of the Department of Health (DOH) in the education sector.
“I am encouraging everyone, especially the teachers, and other education personnel to participate in this campaign, and make informed decisions on vaccination to further intensify and advance our chances of safely returning to school,” said Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones, who already received the vaccine herself.
President Duterte and the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) approved the request of Briones to include frontline personnel in basic education under Priority Group A4.
“We would like to encourage our teachers to vaccinate themselves because it is not only a matter of protecting your personal rights, it is also a matter of protecting the lives and health of children which is also entrusted to our care,” Briones said.
With the guidance of the National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for COVID-19 (NDVP), DepEd will participate in three levels: as recipients or beneficiaries of the vaccine; as members of the different task group on vaccination; and as champions for advocacy of the immunization program.
Under the “Vacc2School” campaign, DepEd said that various materials will be launched throughout the campaign to maximize available platforms in communicating its objectives.
These materials, DepEd said, are aligned on its messaging on vaccination participation focusing on the commitment to the agency’s mandate, truth, health and safety, and promotion of informed decisions.
The campaign introduced the characters of Teacher Edna, Doctor Edu, Learners Kaye, and Sean in educating DepEd personnel and stakeholders on their roles in mitigating the virus.
Additionally, DepEd created also a microsite to serve as a repository of memoranda, aide-memoire, infographics, and other data in line with the campaign that may be accessed through the following link: deped.gov.ph/vacc2school.

Many challenges accompany our work. Perhaps the most common is creating a sufficiently large and conveniently located work surface so we’re not setting tools all over the ground/floor and not spending time walking back and forth all over the jobsite. The solution is usually to make a large work surface out of some sawhorses and wood. But Portamate has come up with what seems to be a novel solution to such a challenge with the Portamate Portacube STR Miter Saw Work Station. Portamate’s marketing material makes it seem like the Portacube targets the DIYers who lacks space in the garage or small shop, but I can see the utility of bringing it to our jobsites. Let’s dig in and see if there’s a Pro use here.
My eagerness to use the Portamate Portacube STR Miter Saw Work Station was tempered slightly when I saw how much assembly was required. The company did produce an assembly video that I only found out about afterward, so the assembly took over an hour. But I figured that if the Portacube worked well, it would be worth the time.
When the Portacube is completely folded up, it’s basically a large hand truck for your miter saw (or whatever benchtop tool you attach to it). Unfolded (with the saw still tucked underneath), the wings span seven feet giving you roughly a 29-inch by 84-inch workspace. When you rotate the saw up, what you lose in flat surface area you gain in productive capacity. Two tool tables rise up from the wings to align with the saw’s table and create support during the cut for long boards and trim.
The Portacube’s concept is really handy, but I’m a little concerned that its materials aren’t conducive for a professional carpenter. The metal’s gauge is a little light, there are plastic levers and locks that might wear out quickly on a jobsite, and it feels a bit wobbly.
Portacube FM – Your Work Station
We rolled the Portacube onto the site, let it spread its wings, and got to work. Rotating our relatively heavy saw upward, it hit a snag. We determined that as the saw turns, the Portacube twists out of square and fails to fit into place with the weight of our saw. When you’re using it, be sure to rotate the tool up evenly without torquing the stand.
Moving Around the Jobsite
We made the Portacube follow us around the home remodel and one thing became clear – at 31-inches wide, it can’t pass through many interior doors. To alleviate this, the handle needs to be re-oriented from the back to the side, but that would impede one of the wings. Keep in mind that the implied use here is in a shop or garage and not necessarily going through doorways.
Standing on its Own
As far as the application of saw stand, the PM-8000 works just fine. Where we lose confidence for Pro use is in the build. The locks that hold the saw from rotating down are made of plastic as are the levers that release it to do so. If and when Portamate makes a professional grade version of the Portacube, these components need to include more heavy-duty construction.
The tool tables might also benefit from a move toward the front of the Portacube or a wider design. You can see why below – with our saw, the lumber we used wasn’t centered over the tool tables, but rather closer to the edge which made wider pieces unstable. For crown molding, the tables barely support the piece.
There are a couple of areas of pinch danger indicated by warning stickers. One is the wing support bracket that folds in half as the wing collapses. Another area is tool tables where the danger is particularly problematic. Your finger must press a button on either side to collapse the table, but you also need to press down on the table, essentially making it a three-handed job. When you’re trying to figure this out at first, it’s easy to forget your finger is dangerously close (or in!) the pinch zone.
The Bottom Line
The Portamate Portacube STR Miter Saw Work Station is at once a mobile miter saw stand and a 7-foot work surface with adjustable tool tables to support long pieces of lumber and folding wings for storage.
Overall, the Portacube offers utility to the homeowner with limited workspace so long as they are aware of the limitations and the pinch dangers. We hope to see a more Pro-oriented Portacube version since the concept is very appealing on the jobsite. It needs to include heavier gauge metal and joints to keep the unit square while the saw rotates up and down, reduce or eliminate the pinch dangers, replace many of the plastic pieces with metal components, and reorient the wheels to fit through interior doors. Since the unit already weighs 95 pounds, it will take some serious engineering to make that happen in a form that Pros will gravitate toward.
For now, Pros will want to stay with something like the Ridgid MS-UV (Miter Saw Utility Vehicle) as a mobile miter saw stand. It doesn’t offer the work surface of the Portamate Portacube STR Miter Saw Work Station, but until Portamate makes a Pro version with more solid materials and some re-engineering, traditional stands are the way to go.
On the other hand, the Portamate Portacube is a big win for DIYers. The build quality concerns we have aren’t as significant for a unit that’s working in someone’s garage or home shop. Once you get used to the setup and takedown, it can be a major benefit for the user who doesn’t have space for a permanent workbench.

On Monday the Associated Press (AP) and Detroit News reported that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) was opening its wolf season ahead of schedule—as in that day. The news came following a lawsuit brought by the hunter-conservationist group Hunter Nation to move the season’s opening day from November to Feb. 22 due to concerns the Biden administration might return the long-recovered species to protected status. The latest? AP just announced the season ends at 3 p.m. today because the WDNR reported that 135 wolves had been killed in just two days—16 more than the state's target of 119.
While Wisconsin law requires the WDNR to run a wolf hunting season from November through the end of February, we hunters have watched wolves get listed and delisted from federal Endangered Species Act protections off and on for 10 years. As this hunting website and magazines like NRA’s American Hunter have tracked, Wisconsin opened its first hunt in 2012 after the Obama administration removed the species’ protections. The state held two additional hunts, but then a federal judge slid in with animal rights extremists, sidestepped the science supporting that the species had recovered and had the wolves relisted in 2014.
The Trump administration began the delisting process for wolves in 2019 with organizations such as the NRA heavily involved on the litigation front in support of hunters and hunting as a wildlife management tool. As the Detroit Press explained, that administration delisted wolves in most of the country again in January so the WDNR was preparing for a November season. Due to concerns that the Biden administration might restore protections for wolves before November and cancel the hunting season, Hunter Nation won an order from a Jefferson County, Wisc., judge forcing the WDNR to hold a season before the end of February 2021.
The hunt was to run through Sunday, Feb. 28, across six wolf management zones. The state issued 4,000 permits through a lottery system and notified the hunters as soon as their names were drawn Monday morning, though Wisconsin hunters know the WDNR might close the season early as hunters neared the quota.
With 1,000-plus wolves roaming the state, the WDNR’s goal is to maintain a population of 350. While those against hunting claim wolf populations are “too small” to support hunting and that the animals are “too majestic to kill”—despite that wildlife science data shows wolf populations have long since recovered—Wisconsin farmers and other rural residents continue to explain that wolves are killing their livestock and pets.

Reading right now:
“Brownies and Broomsticks” by Bailey Cates. I just found this series called the Magical Bakery Mystery series which started with “Brownies and Broomsticks” (2012). After Katie Lightfoot moves from Ohio to Savannah to open a bakery with her Aunt and Uncle, she finds out that she comes from a long line of witches. As she struggles to recover from a bad breakup, open a new business, and adjust to her heritage, she must also help solve the murder of a powerful local resident who threatened to destroy their new bakery. Katie’s uncle was seen arguing with the dead women just before her death and is the number one suspect. I am really enjoying this start to this new series and am looking forward to catching up with the other three books that are available and in July the fifth book comes out called “Magic and Macaroons.” Cates also writes the Home Crafting Mystery series under the name Cricket McRae.
“Winter at the Door” by Sarah Graves. Known for her Home Repair is Homicide series, Graves opens a new series with Boston homicide cop Lizzie Snow starting a new job in a small town in Maine. Her new job takes off quickly when the deaths of several of the city’s retired cops begins to look like murder. Lizzie finds that the small town has a dark side which the townspeople don’t want to talk about. Lizzie also has a dark side which involves her sister’s murder and the hope that the town holds to secret to her missing niece’s location. The book is being compared to Linda Castillo and Lisa Gardner’s books which makes it sound like a winner.
Other Mysterious Things:
Covering up and keeping secrets is a common theme in mystery novels and that theme continues in Jack Fredrickson’s “Silence the Dead.” Fredrickson is known for his Dek Ekstrom mystery series, but this new novel is based on a real life murder case. When an 1948 unsolved murder victim was exhumed, someone else’s head was found in the casket. Reading about this event in the newspaper caught Fredrickson’s attention and resulted in “Silence the Dead.”
Other new books available in January:

Kameron’s eyes light up as he talks about making art through the Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA) Aspiring Artists program at Freetown Community Center. This enthusiastic third-grader has been a fixture in Freetown’s after-school program since he was in kindergarten, but this year, he’s been creating his own art for the first time.
His favorite class was learning graffiti-style art with Nick Burns, GCCA instructor and former Brandon Fellow. Kameron spray-painted a cap with his very own design and afterward, he couldn’t wait to share his enthusiasm. “It was really fun,” Kameron exclaimed. “I want to do that again!”
- Low-income students who are highly engaged in the arts are twice as likely to graduate college as their peers with no arts education.
- Direct engagement in the visual arts helps young people develop the critical thinking skills, innovation, and social-emotional skills needed to thrive in life and work.
Through this new program, children who would not otherwise have access to this kind of opportunity are participating in monthly hands-on activities taught by local artists in a variety of mediums. Kameron and his friends are not only gaining exposure to new cultures and learning experiences through the visual arts, they are also finding their own creative voice — a life-changing discovery.
As we celebrate GCCA’s 6th birthday, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the many ways our community has stepped up to meet the need for quality visual arts programming. In the coming months, we are excited to expand our reach by adding new classrooms for jewelry making and printmaking, 11 affordable studios for working artists, a dedicated Community Gallery, and more.
Most important, we are providing more opportunities for both children and the young-at-heart to watch their creativity blossom.

Johannesburg’s MMC for Finance, Geoffrey Makhubo, laid out the city’s $3.4 billion budget for the 2016/2017 financial year.
Speaking to CNBC Africa at Johannesburg’s Turbine Hall on Tuesday, Makhubo said the budget would help curb unemployment in the country’s economic hub which is home to 5 million people.
“The city’s budget is R54.8 billion [$3.4 billion] representing an operating budget of R45.3 billion [$2.8 billion] and a capital budget of R9.5 billion [$610 million],” says Makhubo.
Last year’s budget was R52.6 billion [$3.3 billion], it has increased R2.2 billion [140 million].
Makhubo says the Health Department has been allocated an operating budget of R775 million [$49.3 million] for 2016/2017 financial year and a three year capital budget of R361 million [$23 million]. The total budget for the Human and Social Development Cluster is R6.3 billion [$400 million].
Makhubo has also announced an injection of R16.7 billion to ensure that City Power delivers electricity to all residents including those living in informal settlements.
“Through this budget, we will meet the expectations of better living standards, and create a better life for all Johannesburg citizens.”
Consumers could however expect the following increases.
- Property rates will increase by 5.9 per cent, lower than the inflation rate.
- Electricity tariffs will increase by an average of 6.93 per cent, lower than the National Energy Regulator’s (NERSA) proposal
- Water and sewage will increase by 13.2 per cent.

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games will take place February 8-12 in Vancouver, Canada. In an effort to beef up security for the Games, a large network of over 1,000 closed-circuit cameras have been installed.
The Olympic Integrated Security Unit, led by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), had about 900 of the cameras installed in and around the Olympic venues. One hundred more will be installed in the city of Vancouver, keeping watch on city streets. This unprecedented move has some citizens uneasy and concerned about their privacy, but officials have said the cameras, which went live on February 1st, will come down after the games.
The city actually already has a number of cameras placed around the city, but the security team felt it was necessary to add surveillance. The RCMP Assistant Commissioner said the alternative would be adding more foot patrol, which would cost taxpayers unnecessary money.
The cameras are said to be on a motion-detector, meaning they won’t be monitored 24/7 and will only record when a motion sensor sets them off. The system was already tested last week when an intoxicated man stumbled into view near a cruise ship being used to house police officers during the Olympic Games.

- Published the source code to a variant of the NVIDIA Linux kernel
modules dual-licensed as MIT/GPLv2. The source is available here:
and will be updated each driver release. Please see the "Open
Linux Kernel Modules" chapter in the README for details.
- Added support for the VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf and
VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier Vulkan extensions. To use this
functionality, the nvidia-drm kernel module must be loaded with DRM KMS
mode setting enabled. See the DRM KMS section of the README for guidance
on enabling mode setting.
- Changed nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-resume.service, and
nvidia-hibernate.service to use WantedBy= rather than RequiredBy=
dependencies for systemd-suspend.service and systemd-hibernate.service.
This avoids a problem where suspend or hibernate fails if the NVIDIA
driver is uninstalled without disabling these services first.
If these services were manually enabled, it may be necessary to update
their dependencies by running
sudo systemctl reenable nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-resume.service nvidia-hibernate.service
- Interlaced modes are now disabled when active stereo is enabled.
- NVIDIA X Server Settings will now display the quit confirmation dialog
automatically if only there are pending changes that need to be manually
saved. The corresponding configuration option to control the appearance
of the quit dialog was thus also removed.
- Removed the warning message about mismatches between the compiler
used to build the Linux kernel and the compiler used to build the
NVIDIA kernel modules from nvidia-installer. Modern compilers are less
likely to cause problems when this type of mismatch occurs, and it has
become common in many distributions to build the Linux kernel with a
different compiler than the default system compiler.
- Updated nvidia-installer to skip test-loading the kernel modules
on systems where no supported NVIDIA GPUs are detected.
- Updated nvidia-installer to avoid a race condition which could cause
the kernel module test load to fail due to udev automatically loading
kernel modules left over from an existing NVIDIA driver installation.
This failure resulted in an installation error message "Kernel module
load error: File exists".
- Updated the RTD3 Video Memory Utilization Threshold
(NVreg_DynamicPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold) maximum value from
200 MB to 1024 MB.
- Improved performance of GLX and Vulkan applications running in gamescope.
- Added a "kernelopen" feature tag to the supported-gpus.json file,
to indicate which GPUs are compatible with open-gpu-kernel-modules.
- Improved Vulkan swapchain creation failure reporting. Applications can use the
VK_EXT_debug_utils extension to receive additional information when an error was
encountered in vkCreateSwapchainKHR().
- Added a new configuration option for NVIDIA NGX to allow disabling the DSO
signature check. See the "NGX" chapter of the README for more information.
- Fixed an issue where HDMI audio output was not working in some cases,
especially with high display refresh rates (120Hz, 100Hz, etc.) using

Real estate investment is not only a place to call home but also a path to wealth creation. Understanding the areas with the highest appreciation potential is crucial for prospective buyers and investors seeking optimal returns on their investments. San Mateo, California, a vibrant city nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, offers a wealth of attractive neighborhoods and communities. In this article, we will delve into the intricate dynamics of real estate appreciation, exploring the factors that influence whether a home appreciates or depreciates over time. Furthermore, we will spotlight specific areas, communities, and neighborhoods within San Mateo that have experienced remarkable growth and appreciation.
Understanding Real Estate Appreciation
Appreciation in real estate refers to the increase in the value of a property over time. It is a fundamental concept for homeowners, investors, and anyone involved in the real estate market. Several factors contribute to the appreciation of a property, ultimately shaping its value trajectory. Let’s explore these key factors in more detail:
Economic Growth: Strong economic growth is a catalyst for real estate appreciation. Areas with thriving economies, diverse industries, and robust job markets tend to experience higher demand for housing, driving property values upward.
Location: The location of a home plays a vital role in its appreciation potential. Proximity to amenities such as shopping centers, schools, parks, and transportation hubs enhances desirability and, subsequently, property values. Additionally, favorable geographical features like scenic views, waterfront access, or proximity to recreational areas can contribute to appreciation.
Infrastructure Development: The presence of well-developed infrastructure, including roads, public transportation, utilities, and community facilities, positively impact property values. Improved infrastructure not only enhances convenience and accessibility but also signals an investment-friendly environment.
Quality of Life: Factors that contribute to a high quality of life, such as low crime rates, good schools, cultural amenities, and recreational opportunities, tend to attract homebuyers and contribute to long-term appreciation. People are often willing to pay a premium for areas that offer a desirable living experience.
Housing Supply and Demand: The interplay between housing supply and demand directly affects property values—areas with limited housing supply and high demand experience upward pressure on prices, leading to appreciation. Conversely, an oversupply of homes can result in depreciation.
San Mateo: A Thriving Real Estate Market
The city of San Mateo benefits from its strategic location within the thriving Silicon Valley region, where technological innovation and economic prosperity flourish. The city’s robust economy, driven by diverse industries, provides a solid foundation for real estate appreciation. Now, let’s delve into specific areas, communities, and neighborhoods within San Mateo that have experienced notable growth and appreciation:
Aragon: Nestled in the heart of San Mateo, the Aragon neighborhood captures the essence of Spanish-style architectural elegance. The neighborhood’s well-preserved charm, tree-lined streets, and meticulously maintained homes make it a highly desirable location for homebuyers seeking convenience and a strong sense of community. With its proximity to downtown San Mateo and a highly regarded school district, Aragon has witnessed remarkable appreciation over the years.
Baywood: Situated in the western part of San Mateo, the Baywood neighborhood boasts a delightful suburban charm while offering convenient access to the city’s amenities. Well-preserved architectural styles, including Tudor, Mediterranean, and Craftsman homes, accentuate its timeless appeal. Peaceful streets, proximity to parks, and highly regarded schools have made Baywood a sought-after location for families, contributing to consistent appreciation.
Hillsdale: Known for its central location and excellent shopping options, the Hillsdale neighborhood presents a vibrant community that has experienced significant appreciation. Hillsdale offers a diverse range of housing options, including single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums, catering to a wide array of homebuyers. Its proximity to major transportation routes, shopping centers, and recreational facilities has contributed to its popularity and consistent growth. The convenience and accessibility provided by the neighborhood have made it a desirable location for individuals and families looking for a well-rounded lifestyle.
Shoreview: Situated on the eastern side of San Mateo, the Shoreview neighborhood has emerged as a hidden gem, garnering attention from homebuyers and investors alike. This community offers a range of housing options, from single-family homes to apartments, making it an attractive destination for first-time homebuyers and young families. Compared to some other neighborhoods in San Mateo, Shoreview offers more affordable housing options while still providing a desirable living experience. The affordability, combined with the area’s growth potential, has led to rapid appreciation in recent years.
Beresford Manor: Beresford Manor, located in the southeastern part of San Mateo, is another area that has experienced notable appreciation. The neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets, spacious lots, and a mix of architectural styles ranging from classic to modern. Beresford Manor offers a tranquil suburban atmosphere near downtown San Mateo and major transportation routes. Its charm, combined with the well-maintained homes and sense of community, has made it a highly sought-after location for buyers seeking comfort and convenience.
Foster City: Although not within the boundaries of San Mateo, Foster City deserves mention due to its proximity and remarkable appreciation. Foster City is a planned community renowned for its picturesque lagoons, waterfront views, and well-designed neighborhoods. The city offers a mix of housing options, including single-family homes, townhouses, and waterfront properties. The abundance of parks, recreational activities, and top-rated schools contribute to its desirability and subsequent appreciation. Foster City’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of living has attracted residents seeking an idyllic suburban lifestyle.
San Mateo, California, presents a thriving real estate market with diverse neighborhoods and communities that have experienced significant appreciation. Factors such as economic growth, location, infrastructure development, quality of life, and housing supply and demand contribute to the appreciation potential of a property.
Whether it’s the charming streets of Aragon, the suburban allure of Baywood, the central convenience of Hillsdale, the hidden gem of Shoreview, or the waterfront beauty of Foster City, each area offers unique characteristics and has attracted buyers seeking value and growth.
As you explore the real estate market in San Mateo, consider these areas as potential investment opportunities to capitalize on the city’s high appreciation rates and the flourishing Silicon Valley economy.

text: Here's an article from today's Washington Post: Labor Agency Joins NHL Negotiations By Thomas Heath and Tarik El-Bashir Washington Post Staff Writers Monday, February 14, 2005; Page D01 Lawyers for the NHL and NHL Players' Association met in Washington yesterday in a last-ditch attempt by federal mediators to broker a labor agreement before the league cancels its entire 2004-05 season. The Federal Labor Agency joined the sides, who have been deadlocked for nearly five months over a labor agreement, in an afternoon session, according to spokesmen for both the league and the union. Meantime, the NHL's self-imposed deadline of this weekend to have an agreement in place passed quietly at midnight. The meeting was called by Scot Beckenbaugh, acting director of the U.S. Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS). Ted Saskin and John McCambridge represented the NHLPA; Bill Daly and Bob Batterman represented the NHL, according to a union statement. "Today, the parties met for the third time with FMCS officials," said Saskin, the NHLPA senior director, in a statement last night. "There was no progress to report as a result of this meeting, and in fairness to the process it would serve no purpose to comment further." Under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, FMCS provides free mediation services in contract negotiation disputes between employers and their unionized employees, according to the agency's Web site. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said last week that the season would be canceled if the owners and players had not begun drafting a labor agreement by yesterday. That cancellation is likely to come this week and could be as early as today. If a last-minute deal is reached, there would be a 28-game regular season and the usual four-round playoff, Bettman said. The NHL would have played its annual all-star game in Atlanta yesterday, but that was canceled -- along with 824 of the 1,230 regular season games to date. If the season is called off, the NHL would become the first North American sports league to cancel an entire season. The NHL owners locked out the players last Sept. 15 because the union would not agree to an economic system that would place strict limits on players' salaries. Owners claim they have lost more than $500 million the past two seasons and want a link between the amount of money spent on player payrolls and benefits to a specific percentage of overall league revenue. Bettman calls this "cost certainty," and the union refers to it as a "salary cap." The players' union refuses to agree to any system that fixes limits on players' salaries, which averaged $1.8 million during the 2003-04 season. The two sides have been locked in a philosophical stalemate over the issue, lobbing proposals back and forth with little progress. The union rejected the league's offer last Wednesday to try playing for two years without a cap on salaries, but with the understanding that the owners' proposed salary cap system would kick in if payrolls exceeded certain levels. The league's compromise also called for a profit-sharing plan that would allow the players' union to evenly split revenue over a negotiated level with the league. Both sides said late Thursday that no further negotiations were planned, and none were believed to have been held until the federal labor mediators called yesterday's meeting.

If you need help navigating or reaching your health and wellness goals Carrie should be your go-to resource.
Carrie specializes in women with autoimmune disorders, but her services and knowledge are applicable to any individual with any situation. Carrie developed a program for me based around stress and anxiety management along with improved body image and a lifestyle that centered around self-love rather than self-degradation.
Carrie is a true holistic health coach, in that she really considers ALL aspects when deciding how to develop your program. She is knowledgeable in alternative and eastern medicinal concepts [think meditation, herbs, affirmations, etc], but is comfortable turning to more traditional or western medicine [traditional exercise, yes you SHOULD see a doctor, etc].
Carrie is able to get as “hokey” or “out there” as you are, but if that’s not your style, she’s more than able to meet you at your level.
Each session culminates in concrete goals or “homework” for you to work on, so progress is easily tracked and you have a game plan instead of just being on your own until the next session.
Carrie comes to you, at a time that works with your schedule, and is always available via email between sessions. Carrie will be your personal cheerleader, your tough-love giver, and your constant supporter during your journey.
A consultation is free, so give her a call and see what she has to offer you – it couldn’t hurt anything!

After Eric Hosmer left for San Diego in 2018, the Royals have yet to find a reliable first baseman. The Royals have gone through multiple first basemen since Hosmer’s departure. Many Royals fans were hoping Hosmer and the Royals could come to terms on a long-term deal, but they obviously didn’t. Now, looking at what Hosmer has done with the Padres thus far, I am glad they let him walk. Since signing that eight-year deal with the Padres, Hosmer has yet to hit like he did with the Royals. Obviously, there are downsides for letting a guy like Hosmer walk, one of them being he was a fan favorite. The other one is the “what if “ question. Like, what if he did this or that with the Royals instead of with the Padres. The way Hosmer is playing with the Padres so far, it doesn’t look like he will be setting any big records anytime soon. Now three years later after the Royals let Hosmer walk, they have yet to find a reliable first baseman. Starting in 2018, the Royals brought in former Mets first baseman Lucas Duda on a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. That deal wasn’t too bad if you ask me. In 2018, Duda posted a .242 batting average, with 13 home runs. However, his defense wasn’t that great. After the 2018 season, the Royals brought back Duda. Thank goodness it was a minor league deal. During his second stint with the Royals, Duda struggled mightily. Duda posted a horrible .171 batting average, and I don’t believe he was great defensively either. After the Duda experiment failed, the Royals called up first baseman Ryan O’Hearn from Omaha to play first in 2019. In 2019, O’Hearn posted a horrible .195 batting average, but he did hit 14 home runs. Other than that, he didn’t do too much in 2019. Currently, O’Hearn’s 2020 season has been about the same, atrocious. After O’Hearn’s struggles, the Royals gave Ryan McBroom a shot at first base. In 2019, McBroom only appeared in 23 games for the Royals. In 2020, the Royals have relied on multiple players to play first base in Ryan McBroom, Ryan O’Hearn, and Hunter Dozier. Now after all of these failed experiments at first base, the Royals believe Hunter Dozier could be the answer. In an article by Jeffrey Flanagan, he believes that Hunter Dozier is the Royals future first baseman. Royals manager Mike Matheny told Jeffrey Flanagan, “I’d say potential Gold Glove there.” Now that the Royals believe that Dozier could be the future first basemen, I think it’s safe to say that he will get a contract extension. Like I mentioned in my previous article about Dozier, I think he could receive a 4-year deal worth about $75-80 million dollars. However, I am not completely convinced that he is the long-term first basemen, meaning 3 or 4 years down the road. I still believe if Nick Pratto can develop as a hitter, he can be the long-term answer at first base. This would obviously move Dozier to the outfield after Gordon calls it a career, or if the Royals don’t believe in their young outfielders.

What is the difference between a security deposit and a Sing-Security Deposit (SSD) ?
Does the Sing-Security Deposit (SSD) provide the Landlord with the same security as a traditional security deposit?
Is this service available for Commercial and Industrial properties?
Is this service open to Corporate Lease?
Do we still need to pay for the security deposit to Sing-Guarantee or the Landlord?
Is the maximum amount of the Sing-Security Deposit limited ?
Where can I calculate my Fees?
What does the yearly service fee include ?
What is a Professional Inspection by Sing-Guarantee ?
What documents do you need to issue a Sing-Security Deposit (SSD) ?
How long do you take for approval ?
Will the Landlord or Real Estate Agent reject me from using a Sing-Security Deposit ?
No.... Because our Sing-Security Deposit which is paid to the Landlord in cash is almost identical to the traditional security deposit paid by the Tenant. Because Landlords are getting the same security based on the terms in their own tenancy agreement with additional free benefits like our professional move-in report, they have no reason to reject.
Sing-Guarantee currently works with some of the most reputable real estate Agencies throughout Singapore and most of them have already shown great support for our product.
If your Real Estate Agents or Landlord doesn't know about Sing-Guarantee, we are always happy to help you explain to them. Just let us know.

Naughty Dog has revealed that it is not currently working on any PS Vita games.
The PlayStation Blog held a Q&A session with Naughty Dog community strategist Eric Monacelli.
He revealed the following:
We’re just getting our Naughty Dog engine up and running on PS4 as we work on the next UNCHARTED project. We will see what the future brings!
When asked about if Naughty Dog has anything planned on PS Vita, here’s what he said:
We are not. Just UNCHARTED PS4 and TLOU DLC – The Last of Us: Left Behind
This is slightly disappointing, although I’m sure they’re wanting to concentrate all their efforts on Uncharted on PS4. Hopefully other game developers are working on PS Vita titles as the system still needs more exclusive games.

I want to be part of China's revolution
Projects are underway to sustainably change the infrastructure of Beijing's City Center. I want to be a part of this change. With my focus being in the Interior Design field, the new buildings being built and the old buildings that are being reinvigorated are in dire need of this skill set. basically there is no other area in the world that is in more need of sustainably minded designers. With China's cities growing at a rate that no country in the world has ever known I feel it is the place to be and learn. Nothing has excited me more than the idea of being part of the biggest GREEN OVERHAUL the world has ever seen.

For years, the alien Klikiss robots have pretended to be humanity's friends, but their seeming "help" allowed them to plant an insidious Trojan Horse throughout the Earth Defense Forces. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating war, swarms of ancient black robots built by the lost insectoid Klikiss race continue their depredations on helpless worlds with stolen and heavily armed Earth battleships.
Among the humans, the Hansas' brutal Chairman struggles to crush any resistance even as King Peter breaks away to form his own new Confederation among the colonies who have declared their independence.
And meanwhile, the original, voracious Klikiss race, long thought to be extinct, has returned, intent on conquering their former worlds and willing to annihilate anyone in the way.

Laser Spectroscopy has been developed into a powerful tool for the detection and energy analysis of neutral particles. Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (LIF) has yielded a wealth of information about sputtered neutral particles. In addition, Laser Ionization Spectroscopy has recently offered an increased detection sensitivity. In this paper a summary of recent results is given. By combining LIF with other methods capable of measuring densities and energy distributions of sputtered excited atoms in short lived states, new information about sputtering and excitation mechanisms have been recently obtained and will be summarized here.

Green House - A green house is a protected growing environment created for the purpose of growing tender plants and seedlings or cultivating crops that requires an all year round protection . They are beautiful and useful structures used by gardeners. It serves as a shield between nature and what you intend to grow or are growing and allow for plants to be improved and growing seasons to be extended artificially.
Green Houses serves as a shelter from excess cold, heat and pests. In making a buying decision of a green house, take into cognizance, the area you live and what you intend growing. The use of a green house can make you grow things you wouldnt otherwise be able to grow, you have more time to concentrate on the successful growth of your crops as you no longer battle with pests. The price of your green house varies and it is most times a function of size and material used in its construction. Ultimately, before making a purchase, understand the benefits of a green house, conduct a little research to determine if a green house is right for you and which one works best for you for the purpose you intend for it. Examine your environment to decide the type of green house that works best as these factors will help you make the right decision.
Garden Watering Equipment - Maintaining green lawns, lush flowerbeds, or productive vegetable gardens usually means homeowners need to give Mother Nature a little boost. Proper watering tools including watering cans, hoses, sprinklers, and related accessories can make managing water levels a lot easier. Just be sure to buy the right tool for the job: That 25-foot hose may seem like a bargain until it can’t reach those farthest garden rows, and a tiny indoor watering can. Will not have the capacity for all those outdoor planters. When buying a garden hose, do not buy the cheap ones. Garden hoses are a necessity to all gardeners. Garden watering hoses are in the watering tool category and, as with any job, it is essential to select the proper watering tool for the job. Using Hoses in the Garden There are also specific uses for specific garden hoses. Sprinkler hoses are capped at one end and water is then forced out of little holes along the gardening hose. Sprinkler hoses are often used for watering lawns or new planting beds. Soaker hoses are made from a porous material that allows water too slowly seep into the root zones of newly planted beds. The primary purpose of flat garden hoses is secure storage.
