Bernie Mac has teamed with producer Ben Silverman for "Welcome to the Family," a reality pilot for NBC.Source: Hollywood Reporter
The project, from Mac's MacMan Entertainment and Silverman's Reveille, revolves around couples in love who are ready to take their relationship to the next level and get engaged. However, the spouses-to-be come from completely different religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
"Family," which Mac will narrate, will feature the couples meeting each other's families for the first time and breaking to them the news that they've gotten engaged.
Silverman called the concept "both intriguing and addictive."
"It's all about falling in love, family and learning how to accept someone despite cultural, economic or social differences," he said. "We are thrilled that NBC is once again taking the lead in supporting innovative programming, just as it did with our hit shows 'The Office' and 'The Biggest Loser.' "
Mac wasn't a stranger to the premise of "Family," having starred opposite Ashton Kutcher in "Guess Who," the 2005 comedy remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."

America's top dog show is ready to welcome two new breeds this year.
The treeing Walker coonhound and Russell terrier will compete in the Westminster Kennel Club show at Madison Square Garden in two weeks.
There will be 187 breeds and varieties represented at the 137th annual event.
The treeing Walker coonhound looks like a large beagle, and its name comes from the way it chases raccoons up trees.
The Russell terrier is often referred to as a Jack Russell terrier. It is known for its intelligence and curiosity. The Russell terrier joined the list of American Kennel Club-Registered breeds last year.
More than 2,700 dogs will compete for best in show starting Feb. 11.

The Farwell Village Council changed their minds Monday night and voted 6-1, with Elton Marshall voting no, to pay one-third of the engineering and design costs for the South Road and Village bridge future project.
The Council had voted in January not to pay more than their original agreed amount. After tabling the matter three times and much discussion over a request from the Clare County Road Commission to share the Silver Ridge portion of an engineering study for road and bridge improvements, the Farwell Village Council voted at their regular January meeting to pay only the balance of the original Village share.
Former CCRC Engineer/Manager Steve Stocking had made a request earlier in the fall, asking the Village and Surrey Township to consider sharing Silver Ridge’s portion of the study.
A grant paid $50,000 of the $97,915.15 costs to do a preliminary study on potential improvements to South Road and replacement of the bridge leading to the now closed Silver Ridge facility. The local match, $47,915.15 was to be shared equally by the Village, Surrey Township, Silver Ridge and the Road Commission, a total of $11,728.70 each.
In August, 2008, the Village paid $7,999.25 leaving a balance of $3,729.54 still due. Stocking had asked both the Village and Surrey Township to pay an additional $3,909.93, one-third of the Silver Ridge portion.
At Monday’s meeting CCRC Manager Ron Bushong, who took over after Stocking retired, again went over the invoice and asked the Council to reconsider.
Department of Public Works Supervisor Aaron Moline recommended that the Council approve the additional payment. “I advised against it before because I didn’t find the design work for the bridge in the plans. I missed it and I apologize,” he told the Council.
He said the plans included design work and engineering for a box culvert tube that he had overlooked. “It’s a very good plan,” he said, and includes “99 percent of the work needed for the improvements.”
“This answers the questions of the Council,” said Village President Steve Grim. “We lost one of the partners (in the original agreement) so the cost is now one-third of the local share.” He noted that the costs to the Village would be for work in the Village, when questioned by Council member Barb Roe.
Surrey Township Supervisor Rick Miller was also at the meeting and recommended sharing the portion unpaid by Silver Ridge. He said he would recommend that Surrey Township also pay the additional $3,909.93, one-third of the Silver Ridge share. “We need to do what is right,” he said. “It’s no one’s fault that Silver Ridge defaulted.”
In another matter, the Council unanimously approved a motion to enter into an agreement between the Village, Surrey Township and Farwell Schools to pay one-third of the design and engineering work on the Safe Routes to School project, up to a total of $33,000.
Surrey Township approved the same agreement in March.
$447,000 in Federal funds, under the Michigan Department of Transportation’s “Safe Routes to School” project, were recently awarded to build a sidewalk/walking route on North Road that extends the path inside the Village limits that was completed last year through another grant.
Paving the path along North Road is Phase I in a further goal to pave walkways on three Farwell streets at an estimated cost of $1.2 million, according to a presentation at Surrey Township last May by Jack Hofweber, Development Engineer at the Michigan Department Transportation Service Center in Mt. Pleasant.
The Council’s approval of the agreement came after plans were explained about improvements to the intersection of North Superior and Ohio to meet ADA requirements and replacement of sidewalk from the Rail-Trail to Ellen Street.
Other business at the Village Council meeting included:
*A Public Hearing and subsequent approval for the close out of the Michigan Community Development Block Grant for the Superior Street Improvement Project.
*A presentation by Boy Scout Bryce Osborn who proposed as his Eagle Scout project to repaint the Littlefield pavilion and provide a security camera to prevent further graffiti on the structure. Council members expressed interest in having the building’s interior also repainted.
*Approval to pay a Wade Trim invoice for $5,247.00 on the Water System Improvement project.
*Discussed a request from AT&T for additional space for equipment and a new lease.
*Approved an increase in the water turn-on rate from $10 to $25.
*Approved Main Street closure for parades including the Little League parade, Memorial Day, Lumberjack parade, Labor Day parade and Holiday Lights Festival parade.
*Approved the purchase of a set of bleachers and fence posts and top rail for the horseshoe courts. The fence was donated by Little League.
*Approved the purchase of flag banners for Main Street at a cost of $1,332.00.
*Approved a maintenance contract for the new computers at a cost of $1,500 annually and $500 annually each for webhosting and email.
*Approved the payment of bills totaling $23,011.51.

Okay, so not only do I have lots of goodies to report that I picked up during the Quilt Shop Hop, I am also in the midst of several projects, none of which have been completed yet. I think I'm going to take heed of my DH's words and complete something before I start something new.
Amy Smart's Chain Linked quilt. I'm just using bright colors and lots of prints.
On the Road to Spring quilt. I have the batting ready; I just need to piece together the back and I'll be ready to put it together.
Film in the Fridge's string quilt. It's a bit slower since it depends on the variety and type of strips I have in my stash but it's coming along .
charm pack quilt is going to take a while. Probably quite a while...
Completed projects awaiting quilting: uh, yeah, that's zero.
Completed projects awaiting binding: um, see, yeah, that's zero too.
Okay, so maybe I don't have a lot to show for my progress thus far, but I have goodies that I bought at the Shop Hop!
A Scarlet Thread mentioned using it as part of a t-shirt quilt where the t-shirts are from various GA locations. Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see. Good luck with your projects!

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Announced
SONIC & ALL-STARS RACING TRANSFORMEDTM CHANGES THE RULES OF RACING
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO – 30th April 2012 – SEGA® Europe and SEGA® of America Inc. are excited to announce Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed™, a thrilling new racing experience featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and a fantastic cast of SEGA All-Stars competing across land, air and water in vehicles that fully transform from cars, to planes to boats. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will speed on to the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation® Vita, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and PC Digital Download late in 2012.
Following on from the huge success of Sonic & SEGA All-Star’s Racing™, the characters now have their own unique transforming vehicles designed to take advantage of the varying terrain. The line up on the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed grid sees SEGA favorites – including Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr Eggman and AiAi – return to battle against newcomers that include Gilius Thunderhead of Golden Axe and Vyse of Skies of Arcadia. The brand new dynamic environments and tracks in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed are once again inspired by SEGA’s illustrious gaming history. When the road falls away beneath you on Super Monkey Ball’s Temple Trouble track your car transforms into a boat and speeds down the rivers and rapids, whilst the Panzer Dragoon inspired track, Dragon Canyon, takes you into the sky in complete control of your plane, barrel rolling to out-maneuver rivals and obstacles before transforming back in to a car and racing to the finish line.
“Given the fantastic feedback we received from critics and consumers alike for the first game we really wanted to push the boundaries on our follow up game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed” commented David Corless, Global Sonic Brand Director. “The transforming vehicles allow us to do this – as well as drifting your car around the corners of a track, you get to fly your plane and pilot your boat against others all within one race. Add to this a grid full of star characters, retro IP, fun, fast race modes and cool tracks and racing fans of all ages are sure to love this one!”
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed also sees the popular All-Star moves return with a brand new mechanic allowing your All-Star bar to power up faster if you race daringly and stylishly. An all new fair weapon system ensures that weapons fired at your vehicle can either be blocked or evaded once you have gained the skills to do so, making each race a unique and exhilarating experience whether it’s on water, in the air or on land. Old rivalries can be settled and new track records set in the enhanced online multiplayer mode, whilst the Grand Prix mode and competitive Battle Arenas will prove that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is certainly set to change the rules of the race.
That’s all for today on The Daily Verse! Stop by every day for your gaming fix. Also, follow us on Twitter, and make sure to drop us a line down in the comments! We’re always keeping our eyes peeled to bring you all the best news in the ‘verse!
Sonic & All Stars Racing looks like a lot of fun. I enjoyed the first one, but this one looks like an even more enjoyable way to race with the different vehicle types. 🙂

Eliminate minibottles Outdated law forces stronger, more expensive drinks on residents and tourists
Published: Thursday, November 12, 1998 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 12, 1998 at 12:00 a.m.
South Carolina should move ahead with a proposal to abandon minibottles, allowing restaurants and bars to pour mixed drinks from larger bottles.
The minibottle law requires drinking establishments in this state to serve stronger drinks, leading people to become intoxicated more quickly on fewer drinks. The law also drives up the price of those drinks. South Carolina is the last state in the nation to require minibottles, but the General Assembly is considering a change. A drunken-driving law passed earlier this year established a panel to study the impact of changing the law. That panel heard testimony Tuesday. Restaurant owners complained to the panel that bartenders in other states commonly mix drinks using 1.25 ounces of liquor or even one ounce. In this state, bartenders have to use the 1.7-ounce minibottle. In a drink that includes two types of liquor, a customer can get a drink that is twice as strong as it would be in other states. Someone ordering a drink that contains three or more liquors could easily be over the drunken-driving limit after one drink. Minibottles also force bars and restaurants to pour stiffer drinks at the same time that drinking establishments are being held responsible for allowing intoxicated customers to drive. The problem is particularly acute in tourist areas along the coast, but changing the law could help reduce drunken driving across the state. Protecting customers from getting a "short pour" does not have to be a problem with eliminating minibottles. The state could require measuring devices on tops of bottles or dispensing guns, which pour a readily audited amount of liquor. The panel should recommend changing the law to the General Assembly, which should call for a referendum. A referendum is necessary because it would take a constitutional amendment to change the law. Public support seems to be behind changing the law. Seventy-six percent of the respondents to the Upstate Agenda survey conducted by the Herald-Journal and NewsChannel 7 earlier this year support eliminating the minibottle rule. The state will have to replace the revenue that comes from minibottle taxes -- more than $15 million per year -- probably by increasing taxes on larger liquor bottles. The law should be changed. It makes no sense to mandate stronger drinks at the same time that the state is trying to crack down on drunken driving.

Sex abuse attorney Jeff Herman announces the filing of a lawsuit, under the Child Victims Act, against the DIOCESE OF BROOKLYN and ST. BENEDICT JOSEPH LABRE PARISH regarding a teacher who allegedly raped a kindergarten student when she was just 5 years old back in 1983.
The victim, now age 42, remains anonymous and known as C.L., said that when she was just 5 years old, she was brought by her teacher and the Priest to a private teachers lounge, told to get undressed, and both men raped her. This alleged abuse took place on over several occasions until she left the school after 3rd grade.
The lawsuit is brought against the DIOCESE OF BROOKLYN and ST. BENEDICT JOSEPH LABRE PARISH.
Peter Mastrandrea, the teacher accused of molesting her, was a teacher at St. Benedict Joseph Labre School in the early to mid-1980s. Father Hendel was a priest employed by the Diocese of Brooklyn. He also served as a Priest at St. Benedict Joseph Labre School.
Peter Mastrandrea and Father Hendel allegedly sexually assaulted the Plaintiff, known only as C.L., on multiple occasions from the ages of five to approximately seven years old.
Peter Mastrandrea was at all relevant times a serial sexual predator who sexually abused multiple children as a teacher. Allegedly, the School ignored red flags alerting them to Peter Mastrandrea’s sexual misconduct toward students.
Jeff Herman, nationally recognized sex abuse attorney and the managing partner of Herman Law states “These allegations are yet another example of school staff members abusing their power to prey on vulnerable children.”
These suits would not have been possible without the New York Legislature’s passing of the Child Victims Act earlier this year. As a result of the Child Victims Act’s one-year window, victims must swiftly assess and prepare any potential claims they may have against the entities responsible for their abuse. Herman Law represents hundreds of victims of childhood sexual abuse in New York, many of whom have been victims of the widespread problem of sex abuse within the Catholic Church.

What is rural proofing?
Rural proofing means reviewing policies through a rural lens, to make these policies fit for purpose for those who live and work in rural areas.
In practice, it considers, for policies in the making, the actual and potential, positive or negative, direct and indirect impacts and implications on rural jobs, development prospects, social well-being, equal opportunities for all and the environmental quality of rural areas and communities.
What did the European Commission commit to?
When adopting the rural vision, the European Commission committed to put in place a rural proofing mechanism as part of the “Better regulation” agenda, to assess the impact of major EU legislative initiatives on rural areas.
How is it done in practice at EU level?
- Under “key concepts and principles”: the assessment of any significant impact on territorial and rural issues.
- Under “stakeholder consultation”: the gathering of evidence from various types of territories.
Services benefit from tools elaborated to guide them through their assessments, including:
- Tool 18 on identification of potential impacts and running territorial impact assessments necessity checks
- Tool 34 on Territorial impact assessment as such
- The ESPON Territorial impact assessment tool for methodological support
Some initiatives that do not introduce new rules or new funding instruments, such as communications, do not require impact assessments. For these, where relevant, Commission services are invited to explore implications for rural communities in more qualitative ways.
What about rural proofing at national, regional and local levels?
Through the rural vision, the Commission also invited Member States to consider implementing rural proofing at national, regional and local levels. Some Member States already have experience to share while others are starting to reflect.
The European network for rural development (ENRD) has run a thematic group on rural proofing at national, regional and local levels in the first semester of 2022 to analyse past experience and built a framework for rural proofing.
Discover the ENRD framework for rural proofing actions.
The Committee of the regions also commissioned a study Rural proofing – a foresight framework for resilient rural communities.
Rural proofing beyond the EU
Several organisations such as the Organisation for economic cooperation and development (OECD) or the World health organisation have developed an interest in rural proofing. Together they organised a workshop on Rural proofing for health as part of the OECD rural development conference in Cavan (Ireland).

By Sarah Dixon, CDBC, KPA-CTP
Many of us have been working from home, and while your dogs may love having you around more and receiving more attention, the change in schedule may make it difficult for them to adjust back to being left alone.
Separation anxiety can manifest due to changes in schedule, especially where we are spending more time with our dogs. For example, I’ve had past clients where their 8 year old dog developed separation anxiety after sustaining an injury to her back. For 8 weeks she was doted on, and never left alone. Once she was able to resume a regular schedule as her back had healed well enough, she would panic when left alone.
Separation anxiety can range in severity from mild to severe. Severe cases often require intervention from a veterinary behaviour specialist. However mild to moderate cases can be worked on with time, patience and behaviour modification. Separation anxiety symptoms can manifest from excessive vocalization such as barking and howling, destructive behaviour, or other behaviours such as attempts to escape, urination, defecation, or excessive drooling.
We don’t know exactly why dogs can develop separation related problems, but it can be related to fear (panic at being left alone), poor frustration tolerance (upset that they cannot access their person and poor ability to calm down from stress), or being over-bonded to their owners. The latter is why we may see a spontaneous development of separation issues in cases where owners have been working from home and then return to a regular schedule. Your dog gets used to you being home, receiving more attention, and a different schedule. When you go back to working away from home, the massive change in schedule coupled with your sudden lack of presence can cause problem behaviours the arise that weren’t there before.
We can talk a lot on how to work through separation anxiety problems, but for this blog I wanted to write about how those of us who have been spending more time at home lately can prevent those problems from cropping up. Perhaps you’ve even seen anxiety from your dog that is novel.
If you would like help working through a separation distress problem, I do virtual lessons for this issue and can work with anyone, anywhere. Digital lessons work perfectly for separation anxiety coaching! I also have a webinar on June 3rd which talks about how to work through separation related problems. The webinar is geared for professional trainers, but is also suitable for pet owners seeking more information.
Preventing Development of Separation Anxiety
So what can we do if we’re now at home more and want to make it easy for our dogs when we transition back to regular life? One thing you can do is try to keep as schedule that is similar to your regular work day for you. Try to wake up around the same time, walk around the same time, and if you normally crate or pen your dog while you’re at work, keep up some or all of the crate/pen time daily during the weekdays.
If you are working from home, you can set up your schedule where you have blocks of ‘working time’ and your dog can be crated or penned during that time. This can mimic your regular work schedule nicely and provide your dog which much needed sense of routine. Then it will not be a shock to them if you return to working at the office and your dog has to be confined again. You can still take breaks whenever you want during your day to walk or play with your dog, and your dog can have safe chews and toys to occupy them during down time.
Another thing I’d recommend is regularly leave your dog home alone, even if it’s for short periods and even if you don’t go anywhere. Pop out for a walk around the block, or whatever you can do safely that isn’t putting yourself at risk. This will keep it a regular occurrence for your dog that you will leave them home alone. This way it remains a normal part of life and they won’t panic when you do go back to work.
Lastly, try to make alone time have positive associations. When you do settle your dog in their space away from you for your work time, or you do leave the house, set your dog up with yummy treats (such as bully sticks and chews from Open Range) and puzzle toys (check out brands like Outward Hound and Kong). This will not only keep your dog busy (and tire them out some!) but it will make you leaving a predictor of great things happening!
If, like many people, you’ve taken advantage of the extra time at home to adopt or purchase a puppy, please make sure you spend the time now teaching your puppy using the above tips how to be comfortable in a crate or pen and to tolerate being left alone! If you don’t work on this now while your puppy is young, you may have a real problem on your hands if things change and you’re out of the house more.
That’s it for now! I hope these tips and tricks help you to keep your dog happy and relaxed when left home alone!
Until next time, happy training!

When the Waterhole Dries Up
1 Mar. 2021
It’s bath time in the outback, and a dusty boy is waiting, but so are some very dusty and very cheeky animals. Will this boy ever get clean?
A rollicking tale about togetherness and fun!
InformationBook Type: Picture Books
Age Group: 3 to 6 years
Class Novel: No
Good Reads Rating: /5
Literary Rating: /5
A dusty boy is getting ready for bathtime somewhere in the outback, only to be interrupted by a whole host of unexpected guests: a daring dingo, an elegant emu, a rollicking roo, and a clumsy croc (just to name a few) have all made themselves at home in the dusty boy’s bath. Luckily, when the boy runs outside, he sees that the drought has at last broken and is able to take a bath in the rain with plenty of room to include all his unusual friends.
This is a fun, delightfully ridiculous story, playing on the classic repetitive story scheme of works such as There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly. This repetition, coupled with very cute illustrations and a familiar Australian setting make for a fun, creative storytime book perfect for young readers.

At the Mercy of Florida’s Weather
Why does the weather play such an important role in rocket launches?
On Wednesday 27th May, the National Space Centre, along with millions of others across the planet were glued to their internet streams in anticipation of the historic Nasa/SpaceX CrewDragon launch. This would have been the first time in nearly a decade that two NASA astronauts, Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, would launch to the international space station from US soil – and officially marking a new era of competitive commercial human spaceflight.
We were treated to a feast of shots of the stylish, futuristic interior of the crew cabin, and many space nerds of my age, were overjoyed to see the return of the iconic ‘NASA worm’. But with 16 minutes to go to launch, the final weather report came in. Some readings were still red, and while the Falcon rocket may have been able to launch with an additional 10 minutes, the mission had to be scrubbed for the day with the next attempt to be made on Saturday 29th May.
So why does the weather play such an important role in rocket launches? And why does the falcon rocket have to launch at such a specific time?
Sending rockets into space is hard. Gravity and air resistance is a tough thing to beat, and when you have thousands of individual mechanical and electrical systems needing to work flawlessly, you want to give your rocket the best chance possible of having a trouble free lift-off. This is especially important when that rocket is carrying the most precious cargo possible at the top – humans.
On launch day, many variables must be considered. The 45th wing of the Space Force (the US military space department) will carefully monitor the weather, taking many readings from planes and stations not only at the launch site at Kennedy Space Centre itself, but also many kilometres down range. Factors like ground and upper atmosphere wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, cloud type and cover, precipitation and more are all carefully considered, and must sit within certain pre-determined ‘launch commit criteria’ before a rocket can be given a go for launch. Some of these factors are set by the rocket operators and are specific to the unique systems of their rocket. Others, known as range safety requirements, are put in place by Kennedy to protect staff and the public who may be viewing, or under the path of the rocket on land, sea and air.
This NASA page details the specific launch criteria for the Falcon 9 rocket that will carries the Dragon capsule.
The big problem on Wednesday was with the possibility of lightning. The shape and speed of rockets means that they can actually trigger lightning if passing through a sufficiently charged cloud layer – and this could affect or even break some of the delicate electronics on board.
And it is not just the land and atmospheric conditions that need to be considered. Should anything go wrong with the launch, the rocket has a Launch Escape System – the dragon capsule can detach from the top of the rocket and, powered by a set of Draco rockets, can be boosted up to a mile away from the rocket before deploying it’s parachutes. And the likely landing point for this capsule is in the ocean. Waves higher than 4 metres can flip the capsule in the water, so sea conditions at a range of possible abort sites must be considered.
This might all seem like a bit of overkill, but weather has played a disastrous role in previous missions. During Apollo 12’s launch, the Saturn V was hit twice by lightning shortly after launch damaging a number of critical systems which thankfully excluded the flight computer. In 1987 an Atlas Centaur rocket exploded after triggering lightning 49 seconds into its flight. And, tragically, extremely cold launchpad conditions caused the failure of the primary and secondary O rings on the right-hand solid rocket booster of the shuttle, causing a catastrophic failure 73 seconds into launch result in the loss of all crew members.
But why couldn’t they wait an extra ten minutes? In the coverage, the weather report states that things might be looking better ‘if you can give us an extra ten minutes’. Unfortunately, this historic demonstration launch has an ‘instantaneous launch window’. That is, once fuelling starts, launch time is set. During the live stream, SpaceX principal integration engineer John Insprucker said:
“We do the flight analysis assuming that the temperatures of the propellants are below a certain amount, so that we know how much performance is available to the rocket — how much margin we’re going to have. Once you get into propellant loading at T-35 minutes, you have to go as soon as you get to zero.”
So, what do the 45th Wing of the Space Force have to say about Saturday’s launch? Currently they are saying there is a 60% chance of not launching, but this can change very quickly and in truth, we really won’t know until about 16 minutes before zero time. If it gets scrubbed again, there is another window on Sunday, but we may be looking at an early June launch. The National Space Centre will be keeping everything crossed that the weather allows a flawless launch, and we invite you to join us from 8pm UK time on our Facebook page to watch the stream with live commentary from Professor Anu Ojha, Director of the National Space Academy and a Q and A following the stream.

Earlier this year they released their album Once Upon the Graveyard. It is a 8 track album. Really good. It is always good when Lachryma Christi is surprised by e-mails from bands who are still not famous worldwide. Sometimes there are good surprises like this album.
Once Upon the Graveyard is really melodic, really heavy, really full of good vibes. These guys really know what they want, which direction they are going and what they want in the end. Their sound is really sober, really big, really emotional. The voice is very angry and serious, matching all the professionalism of the rest of the band.
It has some rock bits, and some acoustic details, but in general it is really heavy, with strong melodies and a really good attitude.
Hopefully they will get what they deserve. Hopefully we will hear from them at some time soon again.

The results of the research project by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of the Energy Department, released Wednesday, suggest that if households have digital tools to set temperature and price preferences, the peak loads on utility grids could be trimmed by up to 15 percent a year.Sounds cool to me. Looks similar to what Bell Canada was doing. Wish I could sign up for something like that.
Over a 20-year period, this could save $70 billion on spending for power plants and infrastructure, and avoid the need to build the equivalent of 30 large coal-fired plants, say scientists at the federal laboratory.
In the Olympic Peninsula, west of Seattle, 112 homes were equipped with digital thermostats, and computer controllers were attached to water heaters and clothes dryers. These controls were connected to the Internet.
The homeowners could go to a Web site to set their ideal home temperature and how many degrees they were willing to have that temperature move above or below the target. They also indicated their level of tolerance for fluctuating electricity prices. In effect, the homeowners were asked to decide the trade-off they wanted to make between cost savings and comfort.
After some testing with households, the scientists decided not to put a lot of numbers and constant pricing information in front of consumers. On the Web site, the consumers were presented with graphic icons to set and adjust.
“Your thermostat and your water heater are day-trading for you,” said Ron Ambrosio, a senior researcher at the Watson Research Center of I.B.M.
The households in the demonstration project on average saved 10 percent on their monthly utility bills.
A system like this would also be useful with renewable intermittent energy sources like solar and wind. Personally, I would be more interested in adjusting my energy usage to be able to take advantage of renewable energy than I would to lower my electricity bills (though they might go hand and hand).

On 16th July I wrote to the Transport Secretary to raise my concerns about the ongoing problems with Northern.
– We continue to suffer mass cancellations with limited notice because Northern still can’t manage their staffing arrangements.
– Commuters still can’t have faith that they can turn up at their local station and get to work or university on time
– Long-planned improvements have been pushed back.
– Temporary measures to address the problems, like the rail replacement bus services, have not been adequate and further added to the stress of local travel.
This week I have received a response to my letter from the Rail Minister and Minister for London Jo Johnson, rather than the Secretary of State for Transport Chris Grayling. You can read this in full below.
The Government’s response again shows that they are not taking the concerns of Northern commuters seriously.
They are patting themselves on the back for the reintroduction of some services after the timetable collapsed in May but there is no talk of holding Northern to account and there is no sense of urgency to deliver much needed improvements.
I will continue to campaign for our local railways, Bolton’s commuters deserve far better than this chaos under the Tories.

Alaska Sports Hall of Fame announces Director's Awards winners
The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame announced the winners of the Director's Awards Wednesday, notably honoring NCAA All-American basketball player Ruthy Hebard and junior World Champion cross-country skier Gus Schumacher.
The Director's Awards have been an annual tradition for the Alaska Hall of Fame since 2012 with male and female Pride of Alaska awards, the Trajan Langdon Award and the Joe Floyd Award.
Hebard was awarded the Pride of Alaska award after having finished her college basketball career at the University of Oregon. Originally from Fairbanks, Hebard became the second woman from Alaska to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, the Hall of Fame said.
Schumacher, from Anchorage, was awarded the Pride of Alaska Award after he became the first American male to win a junior World Championship individual award this March. Schumacher was also recently recognized alongside Mikaela Shiffrin as a Beck Internation Trophy winner.
This year's awards were presented by Alaska Sports Hall of Fame Executive Director Harlow Robinson and Board Vice President Matt Carle on Facebook Live.
"Ruthy and Gus are two tremendous athletes achieving great things early in life," Robinson said. "The sky is the limit for both of them and we look forward to watching them continue to represent Alaska on the biggest stages."
Kotzebue's Nathan Hale was awarded the Trajan Langdon Award for demonstrating leadership in sport after he was the first double-leg amputee to complete the Iron Dog race and did so with a first-place finish in the 1,000 plus mile snowmachine race.
Cristy Hickel of Anchorage was honored with the Joe Floyd Award for making a lasting contribution to Alaska sports as she founded SPYDER Soccer 30 years ago and continues to coach girls hockey.

LANSING, MI -- High schools students from Portage and Kalamazoo will try their hands at the legislative work in Lansing during the YMCA Michigan Youth in Government conference.
Portage Northern and Loy Norrix high school students will serve as legislators, lobbyists, lawyers, governor’s cabinet members, oversight panelists and journalists — together with more than 600 other students from across the state at the conference from March 26-29, according to a news release from the organization.
Students will work together to debate current issues, propose new legislation, share ideas and grow as leaders, the release said. The event is part of the yearlong program for middle and high school students interested in government, legislation and leadership opportunities.
“(The program) connects students across the state,” Executive Director Lydia Mitchell said, “and allows them to step out of typical high school student life and into the role of lawmakers.”
Students prepare for the conference studying legislative processes and a variety of public policy issues. Students have previously created legislation that was adopted statewide, including the anti-bulling law signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2011 and vertical IDs for those under 21, the release said.
The program began in 1948 and serves more than 2,000 students every year, the release said.

The main function of the laboratory ventilation system is to ensure the air quality in the laboratory, prevent toxic gases, vapors and particles from spreading into the indoor space, and ensure the health of experimental personnel and the normal operation of laboratory equipment.
The following are the main functions of laboratory ventilation systems:
- Exclude harmful substances: Use exhaust hoods and other equipment to quickly extract toxic gases, vapors and particles generated in the laboratory to prevent them from accumulating in the laboratory.
- Ensure experimenter safety: Protect the health and safety of experimenters by preventing them from being exposed to harmful gases and vapors. Exhaust hoods and other ventilation equipment can provide a relatively closed working environment and reduce the impact of harmful substances on experimenters.
- Maintain air quality: Ensure air quality within the laboratory meets acceptable standards by providing fresh air and removing harmful substances. This helps prevent harmful substances in the air from reaching dangerous levels and maintains a positive working environment.
- Control temperature and humidity: Ventilation systems can help regulate temperature and humidity in the laboratory to ensure a comfortable working environment under various experimental conditions.
- Fire Safety: Laboratory ventilation systems also help prevent fires. By eliminating harmful gases in a timely manner, the concentration of flammable gases is reduced and the risk of fire and explosion is reduced.
- Prevent cross-contamination: Ventilation systems help prevent cross-contamination between different areas within the laboratory. The negative pressure design can ensure that the air flows from relatively clean areas to relatively polluted areas, reducing the possibility of contamination spreading.
- Equipment protection: Ventilation systems help protect laboratory equipment and prevent corrosion and damage to equipment from harmful substances.
Compliance with regulations: The design and operation of laboratory ventilation systems need to comply with relevant regulations and standards to ensure compliance and safety of laboratory operations.
What equipment is needed for a ventilation system in a chemical laboratory?
- Fume hood: Fume hood is one of the core equipment of laboratory ventilation system. It is a closed work space that uses an exhaust fan to extract air from the work area to prevent harmful gases and vapors from spreading into the laboratory. Fume hoods are usually equipped with a transparent front door to facilitate laboratory personnel to observe and conduct experiments.
- Suction hood: Suction hood is used to control and collect harmful gases and vapors generated in the laboratory. Unlike exhaust hoods, suction hoods are usually local ventilation devices installed on experimental benches or specific experimental equipment.
- Ventilation Fans: Ventilation systems typically include fans that create airflow and push air through an exhaust hood or other ventilation device. The fan can be an axial fan or a centrifugal fan, and its size and capacity should be based on the size and needs of the laboratory.
- Duct System: Duct system is the network of channels that carry exhaust air from the hood to the outdoors. The air duct should be sufficiently sealed to ensure that hazardous materials do not leak into the laboratory or other areas. Laboratory ventilation ducts are usually made of anti-corrosion materials, such as PP ducts and stainless steel ducts.
- Wet scrubber: Wet scrubber is used to filter and adsorb harmful exhaust gases emitted.
- Air volume control device: The air volume control device is used to adjust the air volume of the ventilation system to ensure that the system can meet the needs of experimental conditions. This can be manually or automatically controlled. Common air volume control devices include VAV dampers, CAV dampers, and check valves.
- Air quality monitoring system: The monitoring system is used to monitor indoor air quality in real time and detect the concentration of harmful gases. Monitoring systems can trigger alarms or automatically adjust ventilation systems once concentrations above safe levels are detected.
- Wind pressure sensing system: In order to prevent gas leakage, laboratories generally adopt negative pressure designs. The wind pressure sensor can monitor indoor air pressure changes in real time and realize automatic control of exhaust air volume.
Emergency Stop Button: Provides manual control for quickly shutting down the ventilation system in an emergency.

By JOEL B. POLLAK – Breitbart News
We now know the cost of impeachment.
While Democrats were diverting the attention and energy of the entire country into a pointless trial that could not possibly have ended in anything other than President Donald Trump’s acquittal, the coronavirus pandemic was beginning in China and arriving in the United States.
- January 11: Chinese state media report the first known death from an illness originating in the Wuhan market.
- January 15: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) holds a vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats celebrate the “solemn” occasion with a signing ceremony, using commemorative pens.
- January 21: The first person with coronavirus arrives in the United States from China, where he had been in Wuhan.
- January 23: The House impeachment managers make their opening arguments for removing President Trump.
- January 23: China closes off the city of Wuhan completely to slow the spread of coronavirus to the rest of China.
- January 30: Senators begin asking two days of questions of both sides in the president’s impeachment trial.
- January 30: The World Health Organization declares a global health emergency as coronavirus continues to spread.
- January 31: The Senate holds a vote on whether to allow further witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial.
- January 31: President Trump declares a national health emergency and imposes a ban on travel to and from China. Former Vice President Joe Biden calls Trump’s decision “hysterical xenophobia … and fear-mongering.”
- February 2: The first death from coronavirus outside China is reported in the Philippines.
- February 3: House impeachment managers begin closing arguments, calling Trump a threat to national security.
- February 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up every page.
- February 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47.
- February 5: House Democrats finally take up coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.
For twenty days, from the day the first death from coronavirus was known, Democrats did nothing about it. They were too busy with the president’s impeachment trial — a trial Pelosi had delayed unnecessarily for several weeks.
To the extent that they commented on coronavirus at all, it was only to tear up the president’s remarks or to call him a racist. They told the nation that he, not coronavirus, was a threat to the national security of the United States.
In the midst of that all-consuming trial, it is remarkable Trump was able to do anything else at all. But he did, and one of the things he did was impose the China travel ban, just one day after the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global health emergency, and the day before the first victim of the pandemic died outside China.
For his trouble, he was criticized by the World Health Organization and called “hysterical” by his future 2020 rival.

New Wave Swim Buoy is for triathletes who want to be more confident while open water swimming. The New Wave Swim Buoy is one of the best products for triathletes who aren't great open water swimmers to make them feel safer in open water and have their spouses feel more confident.
Video transcript for them search engines:
Morning, Trainiacs. We got a little care package yesterday that I'm going to go try here today. Until now, I have been quite the curmudgeon about this product, actually. So, these ended up showing up and I put out on Instagram that I was doing some research on 'em and you all went mad. Let's talk about it today. Okay, so historically, I have not been terribly interested in these swim buoys, because I'm like, "Mm, I'm a fairly confident swimmer." So, we're going to try the biggest one they've got loaded up with a bunch of stuff, share my first thoughts. Wearing light shoes,walking down the shore, diving head first.
Well Trainiacs, I am pleasantly surprised with this thing. I thought it was kind of gimmicky this whole time, but no, it's real, and especially considering that when I put out on Instagram a call that when I said, "Hey, doing some research on these swim buoys, can you comment on your experiences?" And I've probably got 100 messages from people saying, "Love it, could not be happier with it, because you can store stuff in it, you're more confident." And for the vast majority of triathletes out there who aren't confident in open water, having that confidence of something that you can grab onto when you freak out, when you get tired, that is going to make you a better triathlete overall.
So, let's dive into this just a little bit. So these cost either $30 or 35 dollars, and how they work is, these ones, you blow 'em up, and then there's that little nozzle that you spin to seal and if you've got anything that you want to store in there, you'd put that in beforehand so that it gets right deep in the bottom and that is in a little pouch like this if you want it super-duper waterproof, but there is a 20 liter version for people that are over 190 pounds. And a 15-liter version for people that are under 190 pounds and comes in orange, green, and pink so you can customize to whatever nail polish color you like. Apparently, this green one has been studied and proven to be the most visible from boaters that are coming at ya.
Beyond that, there is also a 15-liter triathlete specific version that doesn't have this roll top, so you can't end up storing anything in it, but I kind of liked storing things in it. Apparently, that one has a little bit less drag so you don't even notice it whatsoever.
All that said, I loaded up the larger buoy, the 20-liter buoy, with a phone and a set of keys, and I wanted to see even with the largest buoy possible and some stuff in it, if I noticed anything. And what I did was, I swam into the current and then across the current and then with the current and then across the current again. And no matter which way I went it really didn't matter.
Basically just, I don't know, maybe one out of every 20 strokes, I just felt a little tap on my bum. It's not like it was getting in the way of me kicking, because the strap is really only that long, so it's basically that far away from your hip.
Beyond that, it also deflates and then stores really nicely inside like, an open water swim gear bag like I've got. So, I took the phone thing, I took the strap, shoved that all in to the bottom, rolled it all up, give it a snap, and something this size just fits easily in a gear bag.
Now, let's talk about some of the cool ideas and comments that you all sent to me on Instagram, I like these a lot. Number one, makes for a good pillow. If you're in the habit of just lounging and enjoying open water swimming, which when you get comfortable with it, you cannot be closer to nature. It's right there and it's so calming on a nice quiet day and if you just want to kick back and relax, like seriously, that would be a really nice experience.
Apparently, in Belgium, you are an idiot if you don't swim with one of these. So, forget the hang up that I had for a couple years, like, "Oh, people are going to think that I'm not very confident." In Europe, I got a lot of comments from people that do open water swimming and group swimming that say the entire group swims with it. And the trainer, the leader of the group shows up with a whole bunch of these to make sure that everyone uses them. And then people that swim in that group say that maybe you get tapped a little bit when you're swimming in a group with one of these, but it's not like it drags you down or gets tangled up in everyone else's stuff.
The big thing is that it makes spouses feel safer. I know MTK always worries when I go open water swimming, that I'm going to get hit by a boat. Well, when I came up on the dock, I asked somebody who was there, I said like, "How visible was I out there?" And they're like, "Quite." So, like, "Even when I was as far away as that dock over there, which was a kilometer away?" And she's like, "Yeah, I saw you the entire time."
But to crank up that safety level, a couple of people had said that they might even put a flashing bike light in here. So, if it's really dark or foggy early in the morning, this thing will emit that pulse of light. Or they would put a GPS tracker or even their phone in find my phone mode so that their spouse could look and see like, alright, still moving, hopefully everything's good.
So Trainiacs, today I eat my words and I say that swim buoys are not as nerdy as I expected. I'm going to use them regularly. And thanks to New Wave Swim Buoy for sending these out. I can't really comment on any of the other swim buoys that are out there. This isn't a paid video at all. They just contacted me and they said, "Hey, we want to send out a whole bunch of things and see if you like 'em." And I do, so there you go Trainiacs. If you aren't already subscribed, hit the subscribe button below, and if you are subscribed, tell your mother that I think you're special.

Classic Hollywood: Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker: Match made in an editing room
In the history of cinema, there haven’t been many collaborations like the one between director Martin Scorsese and his longtime film editor Thelma Schoonmaker.
Schoonmaker has been Scorsese’s editor since 1980’s “Raging Bull,” for which she won the first of her three Academy Awards. Schoonmaker, 74, also picked up Oscars for Scorsese’s “The Aviator” (2004) and “The Departed” (2006).
FOR THE RECORD:
Film editor: A May 4 article about film editor Thelma Schoonmaker said that she had received the most Oscar nominations of any female editor. The article did not acknowledge that Barbara McLean is tied with Schoonmaker with seven nominations. The article also quoted Schoonmaker as saying of director Martin Scorsese, “He fights to the teeth for the film that he and the studio can accept.” The quote should have said, “He fights to the death for the film that he and the studio can accept.”
She’s won the most Oscars of any female editor and received the most nominations with seven.
“He really feels he makes his movies in his editing,” said Schoonmaker of her working relationship with Scorsese. “He has very strong ideas. I don’t think enough directors know enough about editing. I don’t think you can be a great director without knowing a lot about editing.”
Author Cari Beauchamp, who specializes in the history of women in cinema, calls the Scorsese-Schoonmaker team “a spectacular partnership.”
It’s also a deep friendship. Through Scorsese, Schoonmaker met her husband, Michael Powell, who, with his partner Emeric Pressburger, directed such Technicolor classics as 1943’s “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” and 1948’s “The Red Shoes.”
Scorsese, who had helped rescue Powell from obscurity, introduced him to Schoonmaker while she was cutting “Raging Bull.” They married in 1984, and since his death in 1990, Schoonmaker and Scorsese have been restoring his masterworks.
Scorsese reminded her recently that they have known each other 50 years. The news took her aback.
“That’s unbelievable,” she said, laughing at a poolside conference room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. “We are so lucky. I can’t even describe what working with him is like. I have the best job in the world.”
The gracious Schoonmaker had been in town for the TCM Classic Film Festival last month when she introduced the 1946 Powell-Pressburger fantasy “A Matter of Life and Death.” She took part in a conversation in front of an appreciative, packed audience at the Roosevelt’s Blossom Room. She was heading out after the interview to work on the restoration of the Powell-Pressburger 1951 classic “Tales of Hoffman.”
She graduated from Cornell University in 1961 after studying political science and Russian, then went to New York City. For young women, she said, “it was the most incredible time. Everything was exploding — poetry, film, art. It was just insane. The world was our oyster. We could get jobs in a gallery, in a publishing house.”
Or even an editing room.
One day, she noticed a newspaper ad offering on-the-job training as a film editor. The job was far from glamorous. She assisted an editor, who would hack up classic foreign films to the appropriate length for TV.
Though she bristles at what the editor did to those films — “It was terrible the way they butchered those films in those days,” she says now — Schoonmaker learned how to cut a negative.
That skill led her to Scorsese. Both were taking a six-week filmmaking course at New York University when the professor asked her to help Scorsese salvage his student film “What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?,” which had been butchered by a negative cutter.
Schoonmaker edited his first feature, 1967’s “Who’s That Knocking at My Door,” and then they worked together as editors on Michael Wadleigh’s 1970 Oscar-winning documentary feature, “Woodstock.”
Despite earning an Oscar nomination as supervising editor on “Woodstock,” Schoonmaker was told that if she wanted to become a member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, she would have to go back to basics and work as an apprentice and an assistant. She refused.
So for a decade, Schoonmaker worked on various documentaries and small projects until Scorsese got her into the union for “Raging Bull.” And they have worked together ever since.
Scorsese relishes the time he and Schoonmaker work together in what he described as “a very singular” work environment.
“There are very few outside people,” the Oscar-winning filmmaker said by phone from New York. “We literally have the film there and struggle with it, create it, enjoy it, get confused, get tired, get happy, get upset and move on.”
In fact, said Scorsese, “it’s almost like making home movies. The odd aspect of it is they are films made for the commercial market, but they are like home movies.”
“We cut ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ here in my house in New York,” noted Scorsese, referring to his 2013 Oscar-nominated hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Schoonmaker never visits the set during production and often doesn’t read the script to give her a more objective view of the film.
“If something happened on the set, the person doesn’t know that when they see the footage or the rushes,” Scorsese said. “She’ll respond to what works and what doesn’t, which keeps me balanced.”
Scorsese sends her “strong notes” from the set about the various takes. “He is constantly giving the continuity person notes as he is shooting, so I already have the information when I am looking at the dailies myself. Then he gives me additional information when I am sitting with him. He is incredibly sharp and so tough on himself and has such high standards.”
Both were rather shocked at some of the reaction from the press and from audiences in December to “Wolf of Wall Street,” criticizing the director for glorifying the behavior of hedonistic Wall Street brokers.
“I think that was nonsense,” Schoonmaker said. “We had been through it before. When ‘Raging Bull’ came out, people said, ‘Why the hell did you make a movie about Jake LaMotta?’ Well, look at where that movie is today. And ‘Goodfellas,’ the same thing, ‘Casino,’ the same thing.”
Scorsese, she said, has the ability “to lay down human beings truthfully, and that’s not easily digested for audiences. That’s why it took 10 years for ‘Raging Bull’ to even be recognized as the great film that it is.”
Still, said Scorsese, “You get worn down some of the times. I have been making a lot of films. I still like to make them, which means I still like the process. But you do get distracted. There are many, many pressures and stresses, of course, with different issues. So I really rely on her to keep the emotional continuity of the picture.”
For her part, Schoonmaker is deeply loyal to Scorsese.
“He fights to the teeth for the film that he and the studio can accept,” said Schoonmaker. “Marty is not stubborn, he will listen. But if he feels they’re wrong, he’ll stand his ground. It’s wonderful to work with someone like that.”
