Neb. revives Microsoft suit
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Nebraska Supreme Court revived a lawsuit Friday that alleges Microsoft Corp. violated state consumer-protection laws by engaging in monopolistic behavior.
Two residents sued the software giant in 2001 on behalf of individual and corporate Windows users, who the lawsuit says number at least 4,000 in the state. The lawsuit is one of scores nationwide stemming from the U.S. Justice Department’s antitrust action against Microsoft, which the company has settled.
The lawsuit alleges that Microsoft used its monopoly in computer operating systems to overcharge people for its widely used Windows 98 software.
A Dodge County judge threw out the lawsuit, citing a 1977 U.S. Supreme Court decision that said only consumers who bought directly from price-fixing manufacturers can sue for antitrust damages. Windows 98 typically is pre-loaded on computers from various sellers.
The 4-3 opinion Friday said Nebraska’s consumer protection law, passed after the 1977 decision, allows claims whether a good or service was sold directly or indirectly.


‘Chief Minister has not fulfilled his promise even after 26 months of assuming office’
CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna on Sunday said the party had called for a round-table meeting on August 24 (Tuesday) to press for its demand that the government hand over the TIDCO housing units to the beneficiaries.
In a statement, the CPI leader said the TDP government had laid out a plan for construction of 7,58,788 housing units under the AP Township and Infrastructure Development Corporation (TIDCO) in 110 cities and towns in the State. Construction of a large number of units was completed by February 2019 and many other units were nearing completion.
At the time of elections, the then Opposition leader Jagan Mohan Reddy promised that if voted to power, his party would allot houses to the beneficiaries free of cost. The government would return the money of the beneficiaries who had already paid by then and the State would bear the entire cost and make the payments to the banks.
The CPI leader said even after 26 months of assuming power, the Chief Minister had not fulfilled his promise made to the beneficiaries who had paid anything from ₹25,000 to ₹1 lakh and were eagerly waiting for allotment of houses.

If you have an enlarger, I find it is easier to just use that. It is easer to load the negative carrier once, than to keep re-loading the print frame after each test strip.
I had a Solar enlarger in 1973. My Solar was a condenser enlarger that went to 6x6cm. It was an old design back then and I quickly moved on. I'd keep looking for an Omega. Here is a D2 for $50 but it may be too far away for you: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/pho/1653981885.html

Abstract In this paper the effect of the re-autofrettage process on the residual stress distribution at the wall of a thick-walled tube is considered. For accurate material behavior modeling, it is assumed that the yield surface is a function of all the stress invariants. Also for estimating the behavior of the material under loading–unloading process, a modified Chaboche's hardening model is applied. For evaluation of this unloading behavior model a series of loading–unloading tests are conducted on specimens that are made of the high strength steel, DIN1.6959. In addition the finite element simulations are implemented to simulate the re-autofrettage process and to estimate the residual stresses. The numerical results show that the re-autofrettage process without heat treatment only improves the residual stress distribution in high autofrettage percentage and for low autofrettage percentage this method is not beneficial. However, the re-autofrettage process with ‘‘heat soak’’ treatment generally improves the residual stress distribution.

Compressed natural gas fueling station in Whistler moves to next phase
Mar 15, 2017
WHISTLER, BC – Transit has signed an agreement with Clean Energy to build and maintain the compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Whistler. The $3.2 million new fueling station is expected to be operational by the end of 2017.
In addition to the new fueling station, Whistler will receive 25 new CNG-powered buses in early 2018. Each of the XN40 Xcelsior New Flyer buses can carry up to 81 passengers. The purchase of the 25 new vehicles represents an investment of $17 million in the Whistler Transit System.
The natural gas for Whistler will be supplied by FortisBC. To help offset the initial costs associated with the purchase of the new CNG buses, FortisBC will provide funding of up to $462,000. This funding represents 40 per cent of the cost differential of CNG buses over diesel counterparts.
“BC Transit’s commitment to converting its Whistler bus fleet to natural gas shows their continued dedication to environmental sustainability and innovation,” said Sarah Smith, FortisBC director, natural gas for transportation. “Natural gas as a fleet fuel is more cost-effective, decreases lifecycle carbon and other harmful emissions and reduces noise levels compared to diesel.”

Last month in my regular post, I suggested that a lesbian who passes as an Orthodox man subverts Jewish traditional gender roles and understandings of sexuality at the same time she is conveying something true about her own relationship to the Holy One. Not a single comment challenged me on that proposition. Not one. Why? I think I know the answer.
While I absolutely love this site and have been a regular blogger now for three and a half years, I must say there are whole worlds of ideas, insights and conversations that we are missing. Whenever I write a blog on this site related to Judaism, it is rare that I receive a comment from someone Jewish (at least recognizably so). And, as the above example illustrates (especially if you were to read the comments of said post), no one even recognized the problematic nature of such a suggestion or challenged me as to how I think it would accomplish subverting gender roles and traditional views on sexuality.
The fact that I am the only regular Jewish contributor writing about Judaism in this blog doesn’t help. The last one left over two years ago. Also as far as I can tell from regular reading and a few searches, the last guest blogger who was both Jewish and wrote about something related to Judaism was about this time last year. Where are the Jewish feminists? Not here.
Jewish feminism is a long, complex tradition. It comes out of all the different streams of Judaism. These feminists have much to contribute to feminismandreligion.com: perspectives, ideas, critiques, midrashim and (oh) so much more. There is such a depth, richness and diversity to Jewish feminism because of the myriad of ways we approach the mitzvot as well as our different heritages, experiences and minhag/custom. Yet, the truth is: if I want to learn other Jewish feminist perspectives on Shabbat, images of the Holy One, Holy Days, women’s roles, Talmud, Torah, etc., I have to read different resources, internet or otherwise.
Let me put this another way. As I’ve mentioned already, the only consistent Jewish voice on this blog is mine. That both bothers and concerns me for many reasons. First, one voice cannot and should not capture the unique strands and rich traditions of a religion that traces its beginning millennia ago. Nor can or should one voice speak to the many issues presented in thousands of pages of sacred texts and the traditions of commentaries on those texts. Neither can or should one voice represent varied experiences of different communities in countries across the globe.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Judaism as a tradition values the voices of many, including and often inviting the
voice that passionately disagrees. Those disagreements become dialogues that lead to a better understanding of the text, of the question(s) raised or of the issue at hand. In fact, traditional forms of Jewish learning, still present in most communities today, value the process of chavruta/learning in pairs. This chavruta is foundational to study, a fundamental Jewish value. Another fundamental Jewish value is tikkun olam/repairing the world, which includes tzedakah/justice, chesed/lovingkindness and shalom/peace among many other things. What I’m trying to get at here is that for so many reasons, Judaism is in no way an individualistic endeavor. It values community. The world cannot be repaired unless everyone works together. Nor can one hope to understand the depth of sacred texts without someone there to help. We need each other.
That being said, I think feminismandreligion.com is a community that both values study and works to further justice, love and peace. For as much as we share these similar values, there is only one consistent Jewish voice here. I would like to challenge this community to live up to its potential. If we truly are a community of dialogue at the intersection of religion and feminism, then we need more Jewish participants. I’ve shown here in very general terms both why we need more Jewish voices and some of the ways in which our values overlap. What I would like to do now is turn this blog over to you. My question for the reader, the founders and the regular contributors alike is: how do we include more Jewish feminists here?
Ivy Helman, Ph.D. is feminist scholar and faculty member at Charles University and Anglo-American University in Prague, Czech Republic where she teaches a variety of Jewish Studies and Ecofeminist courses. She is an Associate of Merrimack College‘s Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations and spent many years there as an Adjunct Lecturer in the Religious and Theological Studies Department. In addition to teaching and research, Ivy spends considerable amounts of time learning Czech, painting, drawing, creating new kosher delicacies and playing with her dog, Mini, and cat, Gabbi.

Would love to see more Jewish feminist voices. Hope your call is heard.
We need your posts, Ivy, for that very reason, because it strengthens FAR’s diversity and you are indeed an excellent writer. I am a photographer, and an illustrator, but not a very good essay writer. If I were I would write about Taoism and Zen, topics missing from FAR also, though they are magnificent paths of wisdom and compassion.
Ivy, wouldn’t you be the best person to recruit bloggers? You know the faith, you know the community, whether local, national or international, you know the variety of voices that needs representing and you know the differences that need highlighting!
Between your professors, your students, friends, fellow academics, religious leaders and fellow temple-goers, there has to be some interested in answering the call!
We don’t have a Jewish community where I am and I don’t feel I can be much help, Ivy. Your statement about gender roles in Judaism at the beginning of the post seemed reasonable to me. Don’t we all challenge gender roles and determine our own relationship with the Holy One? I hope you can find someone to invite who can both challenge and enlarge on your thoughts.
Thanks for the speaking out!
Ivy, I know that the Muslim bloggers have increased here because we’ve actively been pursuing other Muslim feminists to take part. We are not relying on the editors to find people from our community. And really that’s for the best because we are going to be aware of the most interesting voices (how would a non-Muslim have found Vanessa Rivera De La Fuente?). I myself came to this blog because Kecia Ali suggested me to the editors. It’s not easy to get others to blog, I’ve found several women who want to take part but don’t feel they can take it on just now for various reasons. I also tried to get a Jewish Feminist friend who works on gender and Kabbala to write here. While she was very interested, her work commitments keep her too busy. The plain fact is that the editors are swamped and we need to help build the community of voices here.
I agree with Laury. Nothing works better than the personal touch (and some arm twisting, application of guilt, etc). If you have a friend who is a bit reluctant to take on blogging, just have them do one guest blog and let them see how the experience sits for them.
Thanks for writing this, Ivy. I may have been the blogger you were referring to that left two years ago (I had to due to the job I took back then and I hope to start blogging again soon). In answer to your question, where are the Jewish feminists, I agree there are not nearly enough in this community. But they of course exist! There are tons of feminist Jewish cites like Lilith (http://lilith.org/) and so many female Rabbis and now Maharats that that practice and write about Jewish feminism. I think we need to reach out to them to write for this blog, but also reach out to the Jewish feminist community to READ this blog. It’s an ongoing effort but we also have to remember that there aren’t as many Jews as there are Muslims, Christians, etc. Let’s make a new concerted effort to spread the good news about this blog and begin more conversations with the many Jewish feminist communities!
Hello everyone. Hi, Carol. I am replying to your post, Ivy, just before I head off to the gathering of Kohenet, Jewish Priestesses, next week. I am a regular reader and occasional commenter of FAR. I did not comment on your last post because, however much it contributes to safety, I do not believe that a woman passing as a man changes or subverts anything. What brings about change is openly defying/ protesting gender roles and modelling the way you wish things to be.
Perhaps I misunderstand what you mean by passing. To me it means “to be accepted as a member of a group by denying one’s own ancestry or background”. A Jewish lesbian who “perform(s) gender in a way that she passes for an orthodox man” may express an inner truth, but this doesn’t disrupt what it means to be both lesbian and orthodox any more than a light-skinned person with African ancestors who passes for white disrupts the colour-based patriarchy. The exception (especially if it is secret) legitimizes the rule, it does not change the rule. It would be disruptive if she demanded, as a woman, the right to lead the Torah service for men, but that is not “passing”.
For my part, I hang out with Reconstructionist and Jewish Renewal communities and try to resist becoming entangled in the issues of Orthodoxy.
Hi Judith, Will you please see if you can interest any of the Jewish Priestess group in writing for FAR? They can contact us through the website or contact me or Ivy personally. xxx
HI Ivy —
I’ve been out of town for the last 3 weeks, so I went back and read the post that preceded this one. I might have questioned your assumption that a lesbian who passes as an Orthodox man subverts Jewish traditional gender roles and understandings of sexuality, but I’m not Jewish, so my response wouldn’t have answered your final question in this post. If someone successfully “passes,” it seems to me there is no subversion. There is just a woman who acts out the role of man, thereby reinforcing that role. (It seems similar to the question “If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?).
I think the discussion your last post ignited is very important. But it never got to the point of nuance. Transphobia is different from sexism. Each of the affected groups experiences their oppression in ways that are diametrically opposed to the other. And the mottos each group has adopted tend to conflict with the other. MFT trans folks tend to talk about how they knew from early on that they were women; that this identity was inborn; that their bodies didn’t fit their minds; that they were born into the wrong bodies; i.e. they use a type of biological determinism to define themselves. Feminists talk about how a sociological role has been imposed upon us; that we have been stereotyped as “feminine,” i.e. inherently gentle, sensitive, dependent, delicate, weak, demure, etc.; that these social assumptions indicate that we were born with inherently different brains than men; and that we protest that we don’t fit into those neat little boxes, i.e. we oppose biological determinism. (It also doesn’t help that Caitlyn Jenner came out with a photo spread of stereotypically sexy/sexist images in Vanity Fair). So…there’s a problem here. The question appears to be: Who gets to define “woman”? Until now the answer has been patriarchy. Of course, both of these groups want to change that, but the way they are going about it are in opposition.
Personally I believe that you can’t untangle nature and nurture. What I mean by that, however, is not a combination of the two, but a slow process by which a child with all her inherent capabilities and limitations is molded into the adult that she becomes. Her experiences and her environment have as much impact on who she becomes as her genes (these days scientists guess it’s 50/50 nature/nurture). That means that MTF women will be different from women-born women. I also believe that we should accept the self-definition of any person, i.e. a MTF trans person who wants to be known as a woman, I accept as a woman. But she’ll be different from me in her nature and the nurture she experienced as a boy child. So…who gets to define “woman”? I think I get to define who I am, and she gets to define who she is. I just don’t want her definition to preclude mine or impose itself on me (nor vice versa). How do we figure that conundrum outt? I think we have to listen to each other, discover our differences, and discover our commonalities. We’ve been doing it across race, sexual orientation, age, religion, etc. I think we can do it across this divide as well.
First, a big thank you for all of the comments. I think the idea of out-reach is important, yet, equally if not more important, are keeping the new Jewish feminist bloggers around and building a community of Jewish feminists who follow the blog (which commentators have mentioned here). Both of these issues are related I think. We won’t have a Jewish feminist community here without regular bloggers and we won’t have Jewish feminist bloggers if we have to go elsewhere for community. Clearly, we need the outreach to individual writers, but we also need to reach out to the community.
Second, I hear the voices that say to me to ask the Jewish feminists I know to write. I have asked quite a few, but they have so many other responsibilities that no one has agreed yet. Nonetheless, I will continue trying.
Third, I agree that the comments from the last post did spark great conversation and I’m happy they went that way even if it wasn’t exactly how I envisioned it.
Finally, thank you to all of those who mentioned something about my suggestion about lesbians performing as Orthodox men. Yes, it is problematic for a number of reasons, but it can also be subversive for many more. I think the question of passing is part of the issue but not all of it. In fact, I think almost passing, but not quite, (if I can call it that) is actually more subversive because it sparks the question in people’s heads about gender identity, expression and sexuality much more so than passing people do. Yet, another example of subversive gender expression (in Jewish terms and not necessarily only in modes of dress) is the Jewish feminist group, Women of the Wall, for whom defying gendered norms (like reading the Torah, carrying the Torah, laying tefillin, etc.) have accomplished much to break down the hold of Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox men at the Kotel.
I’m not on the gender train, and don’t support sex role stereotypical uniforms as changing anything. People see you based on what they expect to see. Half the time people don’t know if I am a woman or a man, I don’t smile at men in public, don’t flatter men, don’t wear make-up or dresses at all. I truly find femininity itself just male pleasing. That said, I am subverting nothing. My unsmiling face just keeps strange men out of my space, my brutal one line kick butt commands to any man who approarches me is just safety and sanity.
It doesn’t change male supremacy at all. Men who delude themselves into thinking they can cut their bodies up and put on womanface, is also not going to get us a feminist revolution either. So I read that article you wrote awhile ago, and thought, “Well dress the way you want and the heck with the world.” That is just ornamental.
It might actually be protective coloration, so that men ignore you, always a good thing in public.
I deeply admire the radical feminists and powerful voices like Andrea Dworkin. Jewish lesbians always seem more interesting and politically powerful for some reason. Jews in general seem more powerful and engaging than Christians. But that is just a broad brush stroke. I am a strong voice of gender atheism, I believe it is a total social construct, and must be destroyed. There are no lady brains or gentleman brians. Women are supposed to look submissive and men dominant. But I’m not interested in that, I’m interested in ending patriarchy.
Radical lesbian Jewish feminism is a force in the world, and it generally has more credibility with me. But then again I love lesbian raw intellectual power. This place seems pretty Christian pleasing to me, rather conservative and it let’s in the male to trans colonizers without blinking an eye— it let’s gay men post that nonsense.
Maybe more Jewish lesbians or Jewish women in general would come here if it weren’t so conservative, male accomodating and lesbian feminist erasing, but hey what do I know, I’m only half Jewish oy.
I am a Jewish regular visitor to this site and really appreciate this post and conversation, in part because I learned some stuff about Judaism and also because it invited me to think more deeply. I’d love to read more posts from Jewish feminists. I don’t sense that this site is in any way unwelcoming to us. I’m not sure why there are not more.
I am not and have never practiced the Jewish religion, other than Hannukah food and candle rituals (my parents and grandparents were atheists) but identify as Jewish ( and don’t have a firm answer as to what I mean by that!).
This piece made me reflect on my experience with contemporary neo-Paganism (I use this term loosely, which I think is the best way), which is one of the ‘places’ I do practice): in the books I’ve read, courses I’ve taken, etc, I have encountered a rich weave of Celtic, Greek, Roman, Slavic and occasionally Asian, African and aboriginal deities, as well as practices for ritual, worship and transformation from those traditions (especially, it seems, Celtic and aboriginal), but very little that comes from Judaism (with the exception of Kabbalah, which is not easily accessible due its complexity). And yet there seems to be plenty of powerful Jewish women involved in this movement!
My observation of contemporary neo-Paganism is that it is a consciously constructed blend of spiritual traditions which are being reclaimed in a way that honours and supports the earth, human diversity, social justice and equality, healing, self-determination, and that powerful, hard-to-define thing we call magic. Neo-Pagans (at least the ones I mix with) tend to be anti-authoritarian, anti-hierarchy, and anti-dogma. So it makes sense that they/we tend to avoid established religions of all kinds and in particular, I think, the religions of the Old and New Testament. So maybe that’s why Judaism has not been explored and ‘mined’ the way many other traditions have.
But I think Judaism in its rich history must have many jewels that could be woven into the neo-Pagan tapestry.
As I said, this post and discussion has got me thinking! I’m going to do some digging around to see what I can learn about Pagan-friendly Jewish traditions, symbols, and practices (with as much respect as possible for complex issues of cultural appropriation, the pitfalls of taking these things out of context, etc).
I’d welcome any thoughts on thoughts!
(I am not an academic nor involved in religion but stumbled across this blog and love it.)

Understand the paleo approach to nutrition and create clean foods that your body will harness for sustenance, well-being and vital...ity.Sources say that before our ancestors learned to hunt, they ate a raw diet comprised of what they could gather in the wilderness. The plant-based diet gave us everything we needed then, and it does now! Plant proteins are easier for the body to absorb than animal proteins. A plant-based diet provides 10–15% of calories from protein, a safe intake for a healthy human. When eating a raw diet, nuts, sprouts, seeds, sprouted grains and leafy greens are examples of foods that are especially protein-rich. Recommended calcium intake is more healthfully achieved by eating leafy green vegetables like kale, and other calcium rich non-dairy foods like broccoli, seaweed, sesame seeds, and sprouted quinoa. Plants absorb calcium from soil; animals eat these plants to satisfy their hunger and nutrient needs. A plant-based diet goes straight to the source for healthy, easily absorbed calcium and much more. Jenna has created recipes to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

One of the best features of this book is that it has pairing and variations of ingredients that you can use. And if you're going Paleo, sometimes it can be hard to pick what ingredients are Paleo "compatible" that are available on your cupboard or available in a local grocery near you. The meals are easy to prepare and delicious. This book emphasizes on meal planning and preparation which helps you save a lot of time.

Objectives: There is increasing evidence that chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture, but data on males with CP and fracture prevalence are sparse. We determined the association of sex and age using a large Veterans Administration database. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis (1998-2007). Patients with CP (International Classification of Diseases code 577.1) and control subjects (without CP) were identified after exclusions and fracture prevalence (vertebral, hip, and wrist) were recorded. Results: 453,912 Veterans Administration patients were identified (control subjects: 450,655 and patients with CP: 3257). Mean ages of control subjects and CP were 53.6 and 54.2 years (P < 0.014). Patients with CP had higher odds ratios of total fractures (2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.00-2.77), vertebral fracture 2.11 (95% CI, 1.44-3.01), hip fracture 3.49 (95% CI, 2.78-4.38), and wrist fracture 1.68 (95% CI, 1.29-2.18) when compared with control subjects. After adjusting for age group and etiology, patients with CP had increased odds of total fractures, vertebral fractures, and hip fractures (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In this male-predominate Veterans Administration study, patients with CP were at increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. The risk was higher for hip fracture (>3 times) in patients with CP compared with control subjects. All patients with CP older than 45 years, irrespective of sex, should be screened for bone mineral density loss.

This paper deals with the control and the estimation of dynamic visual feedback systems with a fixed camera. Specifically, we consider the target tracking problem of dynamic visual feedback systems in the three dimensional(3D) workspace. Firstly the visual feedback system with four coordinate frames is established by using the homogeneous representation and adjoint transformation. Secondly we derive the passivity of the dynamic visual feedback system by combining the manipulator dynamics and the visual feedback system. Based on the passivity, stability and L2-gain performance analysis are discussed. Finally simulation results are shown to verify the stability and L 2-gain performance of the dynamic visual feedback system.

I hate this econimy.
I keep hearing on the news "unemployment rates drop, jobs are being created daily" and I keep not getting called back, interviewing with 100+ people standing in line behind me.
It's very frustraiting. Especially when I see my friends also being laid off.
My hubs just got laid off... a muli-million dollar industry that has been brought to it's knees by the shitty econimy and the bad practices of big business men and greed.
He will get unemployment, and we have friends that have offered for us to move into their basement.... But it's upsetting. I hate it... I want to scream... cry... yell... but I cant...
because now I have to be strong for him.
I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time. I was so frusterated when my boyfriend got laid off from his job because they were closing all their stores in another freaking state!
Luckily he was only out of work for a few months before he got placed at a new job- he hates it there but he is making more money and its a job. I on the other hand have been out of work for a year and am really just beat down about it. Its a tough situation. I hope things get better for you soon!
I know exactly what you mean Delilah, everywhere on the news we hear that more jobs are being created and that the government is fighting unemployment but nobody can see it. It's horrible because so many of us are losing jobs or struggling to find jobs, and I feel that this is happening more now than it used to, it's becoming almost impossible to find a job. Here, most companies are BY LAW, only allowed to employ black people, which means that I cannot get a job anywhere
I am one of the lucky few, although my hours got cut back from 40 to 30
We'd love to know what you think - Leave your reply right away

Wheatland Regional Water Partnership looking to Calgary for water line 0
What once seemed like a long-gone possibility is now back on the table for the Wheatland Regional Water Partnership (WRWP) as they once again look back to Calgary as the likeliest source of a regional water line.
After an extensive study the Villages of Rockyford, Hussar and Standard as well as Wheatland County have decided to pursue hooking onto the Calgary east regional pipeline that provides Strathmore with water.
"We did a study looking at the Kneehill water commission, a standalone system for the municipalities within Wheatland County and we've looked at hooking onto the City of Calgary waterline," said Rockyford Mayor and head of the Regional Water Partnership Darcy Burke who also added Drumheller to the list of possibilities considered. "The most cost effective one was the City of Calgary waterline."
In the past complications with the Calgary Regional Partnership, primarily Wheatland's reluctance to be a member, have derailed discussions surrounding the area using Calgary's water. However, Burke said that Calgary's stance seems to have softened over time on water issues and they seem to be more receptive to the possibility now.
"The municipalities within Wheatland County, the three villages (Rockyford, Standard and Hussar), we support those concerns of Wheatland County," said Burke. "We feel they're legitimate concerns. We've been in conversation with the city and there has seemed to be some movement on some of those policies they have surrounding the CRP and water supply to municipalities outside of their borders."
How receptive they will be when the issue is actually on the table is yet to be seen as the proposal has yet to be sent to the city.
"Once we make a formal application to the city then we will know what all the parameters will be in that contract," said Burke who continued that the WRWP is planning on having their proposal into Calgary within the next month. "I expect a letter would be going in to the City of Calgary within the next month as to when we will get an answer back I wouldn't even want to guess that."
Acquiring a water source isn't the only issue facing the WRWP as the group is also in the midst of deciding a governance structure for the newly formed organization. The two primary options are between a water commission and a water corporation.
"That's kind of what the process is right now, to go through the governance and see what sort of model we want to utilize as municipalities," said Burke.
He said that the primary difference between the two models is in terms of borrowing capacities. The WRWP has hired Orval Shantz, a lawyer out of Brooks familiar with water issues, to help with the process.
Deciding between a commission and a corporation is only one of the governance issues to be figured out.
"The governance issue is how we're going to work as an entity. How we're going to buy our water, whether it's from our own source or if buy it from an outside source. Also, how we're going to deliver it and the charges that would be going to the municipalities that they would then be passing on to their ratepayers," said Burke.
While the WRWP has applied for funding for the study from the province they are going ahead with the study regardless of outside funding. Burke said they hope to have the study fully completed by the end of the year.
"We want the study completed and sent to municipal affairs and transportation as to how our governance model will be working (by the end of the year)," he said. "How it will be getting the funding in place to build the pipelines or, if we end up with a standalone system, how we will be funding the standalone plant and a regional pipeline."
While the Calgary regional pipeline is the primary option that doesn't mean it is the only one. If turned down by Calgary Burke said other options are possible although not as cost effective.
He said that he's hoping the new water system will be in place in the next two years.
"In Rockyford here our water plant has exceeded its life expectancy so we are in desperate need of getting a plant online. We're hoping if things work well maybe within two years we would definitely have water supplied to Rockyford," he said.

Romelu Lukaku has transitioned into the switch to the Serie A pretty well after completing the move from Manchester United to Inter Milan. Having scored 9 goals in his first 12 games, the Belgian’s continued his impressive goal-scoring form in Italy.
Lukaku himself recently praised Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for letting him go, despite stating the Norwegian actually wanted him to stay.
However, Everton’s former sporting director Steve Walsh recently stated how he warned then-manager Jose Mourinho of not signing Lukaku, whom he defined as a “big baby” in terms of his attitude.
Walsh worked with the Portuguese in Chelsea many years ago and speaking to The Athletic, he said, “When Jose signed Romelu Lukaku from Everton, I remember saying to him, ‘You have to be careful with Lukaku. He is a big baby, you know.’”
“He said he could handle him. I don’t think he really got Lukaku on-side mentally, which you have to do.”, he further revealed.
The former Leicester City scout also suggested how he felt that the Belgian striker and Paul Pogba are similar in ways that they are more concerned about their own success than that of their own team.
He explained, ”That is the case with him and Paul Pogba. They aren’t my type of players. They are more about themselves than the team. I wouldn’t have touched them. Because they are good players doesn’t mean you are going to get a good team out of it., “
Walsh also explained how he feels United shouldn’t have splurged that big a fee for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s seen universal praise for his amazing work for the Red Devils since sealing a move from Crystal Palace.
The former Everton Sporting Director explained, “United have made a lot of signings. Look at £50 million for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Now, perhaps it is too early and he will improve, but my eyes tell me when he gets the ball he is not the best.
“He is a good athlete and very quick, strong, and a good defender, but United don’t need a good defender, they need someone who can play, get on the ball.”, he also added.
Walsh also explained how he would’ve suggested United have signed Kieran Trippier, who signed on for Atletico Madrid in the summer after Tottenham Hotspur were willing to let him go.
He added, “If I had been at United, I would have said, ‘Put your £50 million away, go and get Kieran Trippier for half that. He is an England international.”
“He isn’t a great defender or a physical specimen, but he can play right-back and get the ball in early and you have strikers who can score goals.’ It is common sense.”
Solskjaer’s been happy with United’s forwards despite losing Lukaku, but might go for a new striker in January, with Erling Braut Haaland being a priority target to get goals back to Old Trafford.

Murray Spivack was a Russian-born American sound engineer. He was also a drum teacher whose students included Louie Bellson, Joe Morello, David Garibaldi, Vinnie Colaiuta, Chuck Silverman, Chad Wackerman, Ed Shaughnessy, and many more.
Some years ago I was at the masterclass of drummer Phil Maturano and he spoke about the Spivack technique, I had never heard this before, it was very interesting and caught my curiosity…
Recently my drum teacher spoke to me about this technique, explaining the fundamentals, and the grip, introducing a series of exercises playing the Stick Control (Single Beat Combinations) at very slow metronome speed, focusing on the grip and the mechanic of the stroke.
If you are interested to know more about this method check out these products.

Watching this video will help you to understand the grip.
One thought on “An Introduction to the Murray Spivack Technique”
I’m not an expert of the Spivack technique but I think, talking with the drum teacher who let me know this method, the stick is almost “inline” with the forearm. Just a natural continuation of the forearm.

The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) has announced its commitment to transition 100% of its global corporate fleet of vehicles to electric by 2030. It has reportedly become the first company in prestige beauty to join the Climate Group’s EV100 initiative, which brings together companies who are committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles.
ELC’s transition of its corporate fleet to 100% electric will contribute toward reducing the company’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which supports progress towards its 2030 science-based target.
Within its Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, the company has ordered EVs for testing and deployment and will continue to partner with site managers and work to expand the necessary charging infrastructure to support its fleet.
Estée Lauder is also furthering its efforts to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution activities that contribute to the company’s Scope 3 footprint. Efforts to move to low-emissions vehicles are underway, in partnership with ELC's third-party partners and suppliers. For example, ELC has begun transitioning local transportation vehicles from diesel trucks to EVs in regions such as Canada and Switzerland.
The company is continuing to install EV charging stations across many of ELC’s owned facilities worldwide.
Nancy Mahon, senior vice president, global corporate citizenship and sustainability, The Estée Lauder Companies, said, "The Estée Lauder Companies has a deep commitment to helping accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future, and the electrification of our corporate fleet is an important next step in our sustainability journey. Our hope is that our commitment to clean transportation will not only help to reduce our impact and engage our employees in our commitment, but also inspire similar action by others in the industry and beyond.”
Sandra Roling, director of transport, the Climate Group, said, "As the first prestige beauty company to join the EV100 global initiative, The Estée Lauder Companies’ commitment to EV100 will help to elevate the initiative and encourage more companies to make the commitment to fully electric. ELC’s commitment today further underlines the demand signal leading businesses are sending—the future of road transportation is electric."

Dutch researchers conclude that a diet containing tryptophan-enriched whey proteins could improve the ability to cope with stress in healthy but stress-vulnerable subjects. A lack of serotonin in the brain has been linked to depression and reduced ability to cope with stress. Serotonin is synthesized from tryptophan and its concentration increases with the intake of a meal rich in carbohydrates and low in protein. Dutch researchers now report the discovery that a whey protein enriched with alpha-lactalbumin (Borculo Domo Ingredients, Borculo, Netherlands) is highly effective in increasing tryptophan levels in the brain and improving the ability to cope with stress among stress-vulnerable people. Their double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 29 university students who were easily stressed and 29 students who were relatively immune to stress. The students were given a chocolate-flavoured drink containing either the whey protein or a casein placebo and were then exposed to a highly stressful arithmetic test which has been found to induce significant psychological and physiologic stress. Blood analysis showed a significantly higher concentration of tryptophan (relative to other large neutral amino acids) in the subjects who had consumed the fortified whey protein than in those who had consumed the casein drink. The stress-vulnerable students who had consumed the whey protein also showed an improvement in mood and a reduced cortisol stress response when compared to the stress-vulnerable students who had consumed the casein drink.
Markus, C. Rob, et al. The bovine protein alpha-lactalbumin increases the plasma ratio of tryptophan to the other large neutral amino acids, and in vulnerable subjects raises brain serotonin activity, reduces cortisol concentration, and improves mood under stress.

Intel will show off its Red Ridge Medfield tablet reference design at the beginning of November.
Chipzilla is going to demonstrate the technology at the MEMS Executive Congress event on 3 November, Monterey, California.
There it will talk up its tablet form-factor reference design, which it promises to enable OEMs and devlopers with the tools to design and manufacture products using Medfield.
The 32nm system on chip, it is claimed, will focus on low power devices with small footprints. We’re promised “stunning” performance and a focus on integration.
Medfield works with Intel Wireless Display, so you can transfer HD content between tablets, PCs and connected TVs.
In the most recent Intel conference call, CEO Paul Otellini reassured investors that there will be Intel phones in the first half of 2012. There will be tablets. Yes, there will be tablets. As ThisIsMyNext reported in September, a leaky Intel suggested Android tablets should surface in Q1, 2012.

Some weeks ago I participated in another pattern test for Itch to Stitch, the Galicia Top. It is described as “a sweet little woven blouse that can be dressed up or down. From the front, flattering gathers at the front neckline and top of the raglan sleeves add interest and shaping. From the back, the buttoned closure is a detail that’s worth showing off. This semi-fitted style effortlessly bridges the gap between smart and casual.”
I used a cotton shirting from my stash. As this pattern has a lot of gathers, the fabric should be soft and drapey. This was the only one that I had at hand that was not too stiff (For some reason I dislike rayon fabrics and don’t have any but that would have been a good choice either).
I cut a size 4 and made kind of a square shoulder adjustment. As the sleeves are raglan sleeves, this means that you end up with a little dart in the sleeve cap. I decided not to sew the dart and gather this extra fullness in. As the sleeve cap is gathered anyway, it is not noticeable at all.
The pattern has optional front and back darts. Originally I had sewed the front darts as well, but somehow it look odd and I unpicked them again and only left the back darts.
The pattern comes with the usual high-quality instructions that Itch to stitch patterns are known for. I do not remember any issues while sewing this blouse.
This is a really nice pattern. Due to the casual fit it is really comfy and I like the buttons in the back.
Disclaimer: I got the pattern for free in exchange for testing it. I bought the fabric myself. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

Mahindra has added automatic transmission variants to the XUV500 lineup with prices starting from Rs 15.53 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The AT gearbox option is available with both the 2WD and AWD variants with the top-end W10 AWD costing Rs 17,36 lakh.
This is a new six-speed automatic transmission made by Aisin AW from Japan and will be used for both the Mahindra and Ssangyong SUVs. Unlike reported earlier, it isn’t the same unit that propels the Mahindra Scorpio.
The XUV500 AT continues to derive power from the same 2.2-litre engine producing 140bhp and 330Nm of torque. The efficiency has reduced by close to 13 per cent and the automatic with 2WD has an ARAI rating of 13.85kmpl.
The gearbox has manual mode with controls on the gear stick to upshift and downshift as needed. There is a system override for it, where the car auto upshifts or downshifts, in case the necessary action isn’t taken while reaching the end of the rev range.
There isn’t any cosmetic change to the car, apart from the ‘automatic’ badge at the rear under the variant name. Inside, the only change is to the instrument cluster that shows the modes and also doubles up as gear indicators in manual mode.
Mahindra is charging exactly Rs 1 lakh extra over the manual version for the gearbox. The same technology will trickle down to the Scorpio soon. The prices of the XUV500 automatic W8 2WD, W10 2WD and W10 AWD are Rs 15.53 lakh, Rs 16.36 lakh and Rs 17.36 lak respectively.

The Supreme Court on Friday expressed deep disappointment with state governments for not taking concrete measures against the spread of coronavirus in the country and said “the situation in the last three weeks has gone from bad to worse”.
Solicitor general Tushar Mehta said the Union government was constantly monitoring the situation and issuing guidelines regularly to meet the dynamic situation but slackness in implementation of the guidelines, both precautionary and preventive, at the state level had brought about the present situation.
He said just 10 states accounted for a vast majority of Covid-19 cases in the country. The Union government in its affidavit said, “Ten states contribute almost 77% of the active Covid-19 caseload for the country. These are Maharashtra (18.9%), Kerala (14.7%), Delhi (8.5%), West Bengal (5.7%), Karnataka (5.6%), Uttar Pradesh (5.4%), Rajasthan (5.5%), Chhattisgarh (5.0%), Haryana (4.7%) and Andhra Pradesh (3.1%).”
A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R S Reddy and M R Shah said, “In the last three weeks, states have not taken concrete steps despite the increase in Covid cases. The situation has gone from bad to worse.
The states should rise above politics and tighten their belts. The Union government issuing guidelines asking people to mask up and maintain social distancing is fine. But look at what is happening on the ground. People either do not wear masks or wear it improperly. … More stringent steps are required to be implemented vigorously to prevent gatherings.”

People of the Argentine War of Independence
People of the Argentine War of Independence Forum
Jose Darregueira (27 January 1771 - 1 May 1817) was a Peruvian-born statesman and lawyer. He was a deputy to the Congress of Tucuman which on 9 July 1816 declared the Independence of Argentina.
Darregueira was born in Monquegua, Peru and studied in Buenos Aires at the Royal School of San Carlos. He became a doctor of Law at the University of Chuquisaca and remained there as magistrate (oidor) of the Real Audiencia.
In 1795 Darregueira returned to Buenos Aires and was one of the prime movers behind the May Revolution of 1810, participating in the meetings at the houses of Nicolas Rodriguez Pena and Hipolito Vieytes. At the cabildo of 22 May 1810 where as a lawyer he was able to participate, he voted for the removal of Virrey Cisneros. Alvear appointed him to the chamber of appeals. He was elected to the Tucuman Congress on behalf of Buenos Aires and signed the Declaration of Independence. He died shortly after the Congress was moved to Buenos Aires.

On this day in Rock music history 41 years ago today (Feb. 28th 1978).......Judas Priest released their 5th studio album titled 'Hellbent For Leather' in the US. JUDAS PRIEST released the album in Europe in 1978 under a different title 'Killing Machine'. The album pushed the band towards a more commercial style while still featuring the dark lyrical themes of their previous albums. At about the same time, the band members adopted their now-famous "leather-and-studs" fashion image, inspired by Rob Halford's interest in gay leather culture #soundcheckwithgentry#judaspriest#metal#heavymetal#hardrock#rockmusic#rock#classicrock#rockrageradio#rockisNOTdead

Eric Clapton performing Wonderful Tonight! What is your favourite Clapton track? Comment below...
On 7 September 1976, Clapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for Boyd while waiting for her to get ready to attend Paul and Linda McCartney's annual Buddy Holly party. Of "Wonderful Tonight", Boyd would say: "For years it tore at me. To have inspired Eric, and George before him, to write such music was so flattering. 'Wonderful Tonight' was the most poignant reminder of all that was good in our relationship, and when things went wrong it was torture to hear it."

Finally Friday! Aeromantic Day🕺🏼
Are you ready to take off?✈ Aeromantic is the fifth album by THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, or as we like to think of it ourselves, the fifth instalment in the ever ongoing NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA Saga. This time, our heroes have decided to go back to Earth, or at least 10,000 ft above the Earth, with the occasional crash landing in the streets on the darker side of town, exploring the places where the broken hearted people go to numb themselves and drink their sorrows away. 'Aeromantic' is also a street opera, about how everyone, despite their miserable daily lives, can find an escape route that transcends reality, and reinvent themselves to become another being, someone new and exciting. And perhaps one day even find themselves at a NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA show, where the men are more handsome, the women are stronger, the drugs hit harder and the champagne is even more sparkling.
'Aeromantic' is probably our most diverse and complete album so far, and we’ve taken everything a bit further on this one, in every sense of the word. If you’ve liked us before, you’ll love us now, because there is more drama, more catchy choruses, more sultry grooves, more bombastic power guitars, over the top vocal performances, new wave flirtations, power ballads and violin solos.
THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA holds no responsibility if listening to this record changes your life.
Tres Hombres (Spanish for "three men") is the third studio album by the American rock band ZZ Top. It was released in July 1973. It was the first time the band worked with Terry Manning as engineer. Tres Hombres was a successful combination as the release was the band's commercial breakthrough. In the US, the album entered the top ten while the single "La Grange" reached number 41 on the singles charts. Meanwhile, "La Grange" debuted number 33 on the American Top 40 broadcast on June 29, 1974.

The band's lead singer, bassist, and keyboardist, Geddy Lee, has referred to the track as the band's "defining piece of music ... from the early '80s". It is one of Rush's best-known songs and a staple of both classic rock radio and Rush's live performances, having been played on every concert tour since its release.
