Development and deployment of Web-based applications using Java and Linux can be up to 28 per cent more expensive than similar applications built using Microsoft Corp.’s software, according to a Forrester Research Inc. study released Monday.
The Microsoft-commissioned report compared both Linux and Windows in Web-based applications and primarily focused on costs, benefits, risk and flexibility to an organization, said Bob Cormier, a Forrester senior consulting advisor and co-author of the study.
Forrester interviewed 12 U.S.-based companies, seven of which used the Microsoft .Net platform to develop and deploy custom Web applications, and the remaining five, which used Linux. The companies were from two sample-sized organizations – large- and medium-sized enterprises.
“Microsoft had significant cost advantages over a four-year life cycle,” Cormier said. “The J2EE application server and Unix based database software – used in the Linux development and deployment stack – drive up product cost and development complexity relative to the comparable Microsoft products.”
The report discovered that in the large enterprise, total costs associated with the initial development and deployment, plus three years of support and maintenance, were just over US$2.2 million for J2EE and Linux, and about US$1.6 million for Microsoft over the same time frame.
That is a difference of US$645,929, Cormier explained, which is the equivalent of about 28 per cent savings to deploy Microsoft’s platform over Linux and Java.
In the medium-sized enterprises the numbers were similar – about 25 per cent cost difference to use Microsoft’s .Net over the Java/Linux combination.
A main driving force for the difference is the shorter time it takes to deploy Microsoft – nine months – compared to 12 for J2EE/Linux, Cormier said.
Along with labour costs, the license fees of the J2EE and database products sitting on top of Linux were also a financial factor, according to the report.
Forrester pointed out that the linkage between Linux as the operating system and J2EE as the development and deployment environment is a factor often overlooked in discussions of Linux’s cost economics. The firm said the low licence costs of Linux appear to offer an advantage over the costs of Windows, but that can be misleading.
The report also said that non-J2EE development environments for Linux, such as the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) scripting language, are likely to be less expensive than J2EE environments, but they are not widely used for enterprise applications.
Cormier, whose main focus was on the finance and economic side of the research, said the study takes into account not only the licenses but also the hardware, software, system administration and training costs.
While Forrester only conducted analysis for one year of development time and three years of usage of the portal application, Cormier said that Linux would have likely been considered less expensive if the research stopped after the development period.
“But no one ever does that,” he said.
The study used list prices as the basis of the cost comparison and did not factor in discounts, which are usually rampant in the industry, Cormier said. He added that the study only focused on the portal application scenario.
Ben Watson, Web services senior product manager at Microsoft Canada Co. in Mississauga, Ont. said that while the Forrester researchers interviewed U.S.-based organizations, the scenarios are similar in Canada.

text: Puerto Rico, Hawai'i, and California share the experiences of conquest and annexation to the United States in the nineteenth century and mass organizational struggles by rural workers in the twentieth. Organized Agriculture and the Labor Movement before the UFW offers a comparative examination of those struggles, which were the era's longest and most protracted campaigns by agricultural workers, supported by organized labor, to establish a collective presence and realize the fruits of democracy.Dionicio Nodín Valdés examines critical links between the earlier conquests and the later organizing campaigns while he corrects a number of popular misconceptions about agriculture, farmworkers, and organized labor. He shows that agricultural workers have engaged in continuous efforts to gain a place in the institutional life of the nation, that unions succeeded before the United Farm Workers and César Chávez, and that the labor movement played a major role in those efforts. He also offers a window into understanding crucial limitations of institutional democracy in the United States, and demonstrates that the widespread lack of participation in the nation's institutions by agricultural workers has not been due to a lack of volition, but rather to employers' continuous efforts to prevent worker empowerment.Organized Agriculture and the Labor Movement before the UFW demonstrates how employers benefitted not only from power and wealth, but also from imperialism in both its domestic and international manifestations. It also demonstrates how workers at times successfully overcame growers' advantages, although they were ultimately unable to sustain movements and gain a permanent institutional presence in Puerto Rico and California.

This paper presents a novel robust adaptive filtering scheme based on the interactive use of statistical noise information and an extension of the ideas developed originally for efficient algorithmic solutions to the convex feasibility problems. The statistical noise information is quantitatively formulated as stochastic property closed convex sets by the simple design formulae developed in this paper. The proposed adaptive algorithm is computationally efficient and robust to noise because it requires only an iterative parallel projection onto a series of closed half spaces highly expected to contain the unknown system to be identified. The numerical examples show that the proposed adaptive filtering scheme achieves low estimation error and realizes dramatically fast and stable convergence even for highly colored excited input signals in severely noisy situations.

Let’s not waste precious soil and water
The most telling difference between soil and water is that water is a renewable resource, while the soil we have for growing food is not. What they have in common is that we waste them both. We build houses and factories and create lifestyle blocks on our scarce elite soils that are most suitable for growing fresh food year round, and we use just two percent of the rain that falls each year in New Zealand to irrigate our crops and pastures. In the past 16 years 10,000 hectares that was growing vegetables and fruit is now growing houses, factories and lifestyle blocks. Given that only about five percent of New Zealand land is suited to growing vegetables and fruit and, that we use just two percent of rainfall, it seems like a really good idea to start using these two key resources in a much more logical and sustainable way. It is time to reverse the trend, because if we don’t, it is not improbable that in future we will be importing the vegetables and fruit needed to feed the people that live in New Zealand.
Five percent of land is about 1.4 million hectares and, out of that, today there is about 120,000 hectares growing vegetables and fruit. Provided we plan, at both national and regional levels, to protect those elite soils from urban and industrial development, then protecting the best productive land to grow on deals with smart use of soil. Sustainable access to water to grow our food is equally tricky. We tend to experience rain in large quantities when we don’t want it and get long, dry periods when we need rain. The challenge is how to balance this across the whole year and different growing cycles. The logical answer is water storage: collect water when it rains to use when it is dry. The increasing pattern of adverse weather events and the effects of climate change are going to make all the more important to store water so that we can get maximum production out of elite soils. To successfully grow quality produce the two ingredients of the right soils and a year round supply of water are required. We can also source water from under the ground, but this is also replenished by rainwater and growing urbanisation is reducing that supply – rain cannot seep through concrete into the soil.
Essentially, we think it is time for New Zealand to have a holistic look at food supply and security. Unlike other countries, in New Zealand we don’t have a strategic plan and we don’t have the over-arching Resource Management Act planning standards protecting horticulture. This is not something we can leave to chance. We need to future proof our vegetable and fruit production, save those elite soils and invest in storage for year round supply of water. We have asked Government to work with us to develop a national-level strategic plan to protect our key growing areas around New Zealand so that weather and other disruptive events do not affect supply from areas not primarily affected by that event. It is important to plan now so that we can continue to feed New Zealand healthy fresh produce today and in the future.

Plowing the field, preparing the beds, and planting!
Here are some pictures of what we've been up to in the garden.
We laid the drip tape and watered all day Sunday. Sunday afternoon we planted lettuce. We mix the seed with compost, and then just throw the compost on the bed. It's an easy way to broadcast seed, plus you're automatically fertilizing. Here's a little lettuce just peeking out of the ground. Our tomatoes are past due for getting in the ground! We had to wait for the rain to stop to be able to plow the field. Oh well, nothing in farming or gardening is perfect. Ideally they'd be in their planters between three and four weeks. Right now, they are five weeks old. Here they are in their new home.

Arginine and Lysine What It Has To Do With Your Herpes
What you need to know about Lysine & Arginine to prevent herpes outbreaks.
Prior to being diagnosed with herpes you probably never heard of arginine and lysine. At least I never did. I am pretty sure it was covered in biology class at some point in high school but not being the science geek that stuff went right out of my memory bank. So what is all this fuss over arginine and lysine and how does it affect people living with herpes?
Here are the deets.
Let’s go back to science class. Remember what amino acids or essential proteins do? I had to pull this way out of my memory file. Amino acids are the building blocks of our muscles and really each muscle is what shapes our body so they are pretty important. Perhaps when you were in biology your teacher used the visual example of legos. Remember when you completed your lego house and it was all put together well imagine that each leggo is an amino acid. Each leggo fits and builds on top of the other one to make the big lego house. It’s the same with amino acids they all go together and to build your muscles. Amino acids do other cool stuff that is essential for the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolic pathways, mental stabilization, and just about every function that takes place within the human body. So they are pretty important.
Essential amino acids are...wait for it…essential. They are essential because our bodies can not make them on our own so in order to function properly, we have to consume them in our diet. There’s a whole long list of the essential amino acids but for our purpose, we are interested in Arginine and Lysine. We need both of them in our diets in order to live a healthy life and have our bodies function properly. If your going….what’s this got to do with herpes just hang in there a bit longer :-)
So what do these two do in the body?
Well, arginine improves cardiovascular health, increases blood flow and helps with athletic ability. You will find that there’s a lot of arginine in athletic performance drinks and supplements. Lysine is helpful with growth hormones as well as for athletes and people who are active because it helps the muscles repair and recovers. It’s also used for fat digestion, lowering cholesterol, forming collagen and absorbing calcium. Both arginine and lysine are important and we need them in our system.
Here’s where lysine and arginine come into play with herpes. The herpes virus needs arginine to breed. Without arginine, it can’t multiply. It’s basically fuel to the fire and it feeds the virus which makes it multiple and thus you get an outbreak. If you have an outbreak and continue to feed it with herpes lighter fluid then guess what happens. You guessed it, it keeps the outbreak active longer and can even cause more lesions. So not a good combo. On the contrary, lysine suffocates the herpes virus. The virus cannot replicate when lysine is present. So when using the lighter fluid analogy it's like a fire extinguisher to the virus.
Lysine and Arginine play a pretty big role in preventing your herpes outbreaks. Now if your thinking, “great I will just eliminate all arginine from my diet and only eat lysine so I never get another outbreak” that's what I thought too. However, this won't work and as I explained earlier, both are essential and we need both arginine and lysine in our diets to live life. But here is what you can do to help fight the herpes fire. You can cut back on the high arginine foods, increase the lysine foods and the pro tip is take daily lysine supplements.
By adding a little bit extra lysine to your diet it can help keep the herpes virus dormant or if you get an outbreak lysine will help speed up the healing process and keep it at bay. I use the Pure Encapsulations of I-Lysine, click here to buy some. I take 1000mg daily and 3000mg if I have an outbreak. Sometimes when I feel my immune system is low or if I have overindulged in high arginine foods then I will up my does for the day. Give them a try. Also, please remember if you have any questions to consult with your doctor before taking supplements. Make sure your body can handle them and you don't have any cross-reactions. Ok?

NATHANIEL FIENNES (c. 1608-1669) English politician, second son of William, 1st Viscount Saye and Sele, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Temple, of Stow in Buckinghamshire, was born in 1607 or 1608, and educated at Winchester and at New College, Oxford, where as founder's kin he was admitted a perpetual fellow in 1624.
He delighted to move among the people, and yet found time to meet with a society of antiquaries, of which Raleigh, Sidney, Burleigh, Arundel, the Herberts, Saville, Stow and Camden were members.
St Andrew Undershaft, so named because a Maypole used to be set up before the former church on May-day, is late Perpendicular (c. 1530); and contains a monument to John Stow the chronicler (d.
The Roman client, King Herod, erected a long stow on the east, and Agrippa encouraged the growth of a new suburb south of this.
That a lady of this name existed in the early part of the 11th century is certain, as evidenced by several ancient documents, such as the Stow charter, the Spalding charter and the Domesday survey, though the spelling of the name varies considerably.
The most important are Holinshed, Stow and Camden; and gradually, with Speed and Bacon, the chronicle develops into the history, and early in the I 7th tentury we get such works as Lord Herberts Reign of Henry VIII., Haywards Edward VI., and, on the ecclesiastical side, Hvlvn.

Part & Parcel Audiobook
This series is a spinoff of the Cut & Run series. It is also the last book of the spinoff (the main series has already ended :-(). This is a series that really should be read in order. Both the main series and the spinoff are a M/M Romantic Suspense series that follow the main couple of each across several books, 9 for the main series with Ty and Zane and 3 for the spin off with Nick and Kelly. Truthfully, you need to read both of these in chronological order to really get the most from both series. RedHotBooks did a reading order for both series, I recommend you check it out if you’re just starting the series.
This final book is different from the previous books in both series. Both series are a true Romantic Suspense series, in the suspense aspect. This book doesn’t not have the Sidewinder gang getting into nearly as much trouble as they have in previous books. That didn’t make it any less interesting. The characters in these series are so well developed, that I enjoyed traveling on this journey set to them by a fallen comrade, Elias Sanchez.
Sanchez died and at his funeral (not in this book but died several years ago), Nick’s mother gave him a package of stuff that Sanchez wanted Nick to have. Nick was very much in grief and put the package away to look at later. Now, Nick is dealing with his dad’s death (a man that Nick hated and for good reason). Nick is also dealing with his relationship with Kelly. Nick is also dealing with the fact that Kelly has been treating him more like a patient than a boyfriend (if you’re not familiar with this series, Kelly also goes by Doc because he was the medical guy on their team. He was also the only one from the Navy, versus the others who were all Marines). Nick decides to take a look into this box from Sanchez.
The letter to Nick from Sanchez is a pretty emotional one. He talks about “if you’re reading this, then I must be dead.” Sanchez wants Nick to get the entire team together and to go on a roadtrip. There are several letters with different tasks and they weren’t allowed to read the next letter until they had completed the previous task. Oh, and Sanchez declared no sex while on this trip. For several of the guys, that was not a huge problem, but for Nick, Kelly, Ty and Zane (yes Zane is on this pilgrimage, even though he was not part of Sidewinder), it was tough.
This was a fun listen, even it if was so different from the other books in the series. I loved seeing the softer side to all the guys. I think Zane really liked learning so much about his lover and friends through this process too. This book doesn’t have the disasters and action that the all the others do, but that didn’t make it any less fun.
If you’re a fan of Ty and Zane and the Sidewinder gang, this is a must read. I really enjoyed my time back with all of them. The story now does feel like it has been brought to a close, which the final Cut & Run book, Crash & Burn, didn’t have. There are some things that are brought up at the end. Huge spoilery type issues. Makes me wonder why these things were brought up at the end of the series. Things I didn’t expect to come. I don’t know if she is going to write anything more about these guys (I didn’t think so, but the ending has me wondering).
Part & Parcel Audiobook Narration
This is my first time listening to Brock Thompson. This series is now on it’s forth narrator (if you include the Cut & Run series). The first narrator Sawyer Allerde was a narrator that I didn’t like. It was one of the first books I’ve ever returned to Audible. He does the first two books. Sean Crisden then does the next three (which I listened to and really loved.). Then there is J. F. Harding who does the rest of the Cut & Run books (I read these books, because it appeared that they weren’t coming out on audio. They didn’t until the series was complete). Brock Thompson does all the Sidewinder books. I thought he did a great job. I read the first two Sidewinder books and listened to this one, since it was only one I hadn’t read yet when the audios came out. This isn’t a series that I will tout as a “must-listen”. I think the many changes in narrator make it one that some might enjoy more reading. I didn’t dislike the two narrators I listened to, (and I’ve heard good things about J. F. Harding narrating this series), but I know I’m less connected with the number of changes. I always disappointed when publishers change out narrators frequently.
I enjoyed Brock Thompson’s narration. I thought he did a good job with all the guys. I can’t remember if there were any women at all in this book. If there were, the parts were really minor, so I can’t comment on his voices for women. I liked the pace and tone he used. I thought he did a good job with the mannerisms for the guys.

Current events within the United Workers Party (UWP) in St Lucia have many thinking how many political babies are in there playing with people lives and the reputation of a 50-year-old institution built by strong men and women of goodwill with the late Sir John Compton.
Sometime ago, the pit-bull, Hon. Richard Frederick, tried to alert everyone that Allen Chastanet behaves like an overgrown baby… using money like toys. Lately we know he has no respect for anyone, he displays his two-faced personality at will and believes in his brain lock mind that he is the messiah to clean us from original sin.
You gotta love Wikileaks too: “Chastanet talks a lot of rubbish when it comes to regional air transport.” He (Gonsalves) further criticized St Lucia’s Alan Chastanet as among “a species of brown people in the Caribbean with money” who are “not loyal to anybody”. Gonsalves continued by noting that such people, whom he described as “Castries mulattos”, believe they are “oracles” and represent a “break in the social advancement in the Eastern Caribbean.”
Ever since Allen Chastanet hijacked the UWP with his imperialist father and Oswald Augustin, along with their selfish agenda, there are four categories of Flambeaus. Original Flambeaus, New Flambeaus, Rejected Flambeaus and St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) spies in Flambeau. Last week, two Francis brother jumped ship with all their baggage, longer than a rap artiste’s rap sheet to join Catherine Sealys. I can’t wait for the State Department to make their files public information.
So which groups of Flambeaus are running the UWP? Which combination makes 241 — a good old fashion pizza advertisement?
Is it Allen Chastanet and his imperialist father, a turncoat UWP (former SLP, ambassador at large, chairman of NDC, Bank of St Lucia and advisor to Dr Kenny Anthony)? And why Allen Chastanet, described as “Castries mulattos”, who believes they are “oracles” and represent a “break in the social advancement in the Eastern Caribbean,” must never gain political power in Saint Lucia? Or is it the Rejected Flambeaus and St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) spies in Flambeau?
Then you have Catherine Sealys, an SLP reject, whose job is Allen Chastanet scheduler, butt kisser and mouthpiece. She is well supported by Laura Jn Pierre, a nuisance on News Spin on a daily basis. I can’t tell you how many times I have to adjust the volume on my hearing aid when they come on with their gibberish.
It is the same Catherine Sealys and United PAC who had a big hand in dumping Hon Stephenson King for 30 pieces of silver that is still not paid one year after the convention. Her boutique is closed and the SLP is not giving any more procurement contracts to her. But, hello, Catherine Sealys is hell bent as cheerleader of Allen Chastanet, as they put it “to dump Hon Richard Frederick sooner rather than later.” And as Allen Chastanet told a redcap agent at Hewanorra Airport, “Richard Frederick will be history when I return from vacation.” Ooh la la!
Catherine Sealys is the secretary for the United PAC, with New Flambeaus like Petra Nelson as president. That’s not all. Catherine Sealys is a member of the UWP special candidate committee and lead drafter of requirements to become a UWP candidate and Catherine Sealys is the lead drafter for the UWP individual and constituency questionnaire.
You get the drift by now — Catherine Sealys is making way for a wave of SLP “ship jumpers “and Kenny Anthony rejects to graze.
Then you have the Rejected Flambeaus who run Allen’s executive, who are monitored by Guy Joseph, Allen Chastanet’s Creole translator and endorsed by him as the smartest politician in Saint Lucia. Well… I guess so, if the Town and Village review and the Water and Sewage Company, (WASCO) letters have not yet issued him a court date and a vacation at the 40 star Bordelais Correctional Facility.
Which leaves the Original Flambeaus, and a sub-section of New Flambeaus out in the wilderness wondering what is going on. Why have we allowed this to happen? My party the UWP is going through a lot of pain. It has lost its soul to SLP rejects. It has lost its way with new socialist student of Che Guevara and his imperialist father.
This may be interesting times to some but I refuse to be used, abused, and rejected, by political monkeys playing Tarzan.
I’m too old for that!

The special mission aircraft market was valued at about USD 10.75 billion in 2020, and it is projected to reach approximately USD 16.56 billion in 2030, with a CAGR of about 4.6% during the forecast period (2021-2030).
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the temporary ceasing of aircraft manufacturing and plans of aircraft OEMs to reduce aircraft production rates led to an overall decrease in special mission aircraft deliveries in 2020. However, according to Bombardier, the demand for medevac configured special mission aircraft increased in 2020.
The escalating geopolitical tensions and cross-border issues across the world are driving the rapid increase in military spending by major and emerging economies. Special mission aircraft act as low-cost multi-role substitutes that support a wide range of missions like maritime patrol, electronic warfare, search and rescue, and medevac, among others. This is expected to accelerate the demand for special mission aircraft during the forecast period.
Key Market Trends
The Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Segment Accounted for the Highest Share in 2020
The intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) segment currently dominates the market, and it is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The segment includes special mission aircraft used for ISR missions and airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) applications. The demand growth of the segment is majorly due to the increased demand for the acquisition of surveillance aircraft due to tensions at land and sea borders for various countries as well as other factors like drug trafficking and high-seas piracy. For instance, the United Arab Emirates has been expanding its fleet of GlobalEye AEW&C aircraft for reconnaissance missions. The country initially placed an order for two aircraft to Saab in 2015, followed by an order for one in 2017 and a follow-on order for two more aircraft in December 2020. The country received the first two aircraft in 2020, and the third one was delivered in February 2021. Such fleet modernization plans of the countries are anticipated to propel the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Witness the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period due to the border tensions and geopolitical issues in the region. With the increasing military spending, countries such as China, India, and Japan are undertaking aircraft fleet modernization programs to enhance their aerial capabilities (including combat readiness and situational awareness). For instance, in June 2019, India’s Ministry of Defense approved the procurement of 10 more Boeing P-8I Neptune advanced maritime patrol/anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the Indian Navy. The contract is estimated to be worth about USD 3 billion. These aircraft will be directly bought from Boeing, while the P-8I weaponry, radar, and related equipment will be procured via the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. It is anticipated that these new aircraft deliveries may begin by the end of 2023. In addition to this, India also announced its plans to locally manufacture special mission aircraft. In this regard, in December 2020, the country announced its plan to manufacture and deploy six new airborne early warning and control aircraft developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on aircraft from Air India to further enhance the surveillance capabilities of the Indian Air Force. Such planned procurements during the forecast period are expected to drive the growth of the market.
The special mission aircraft market is slightly fragmented due to the presence of aircraft OEMs and companies that convert commercial or general aviation aircraft into special mission aircraft. Some of the prominent players in the market for special mission aircraft are The Boeing Company, Textron Inc., Dassault Aviation SA, General Dynamics Corporation, and Saab AB. The companies are expanding their sales and footprint in various regions through new partnerships with the governments and armed forces. For instance, the US government was awarded a USD 1.6 billion production contract to Boeing in April 2021 for the delivery of 11 P-8A Poseidon aircraft. Out of the 11 aircraft, nine aircraft are planned to be delivered to the US Navy, and two aircraft will be delivered to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). With the order, the total number of P-8A aircraft on order for the US Navy increase to 128 and the RAAF to 14. The companies are also investing in developing new special mission aircraft based on the requirements of the armed forces. In this regard, Textron Aviation Inc. signed a deal with the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for configuring the Cessna Citation Longitude to conduct flight validation and flight inspection operations. This aircraft is anticipated to be delivered by 2021. Such contracts from various government and armed forces will help the companies increase their footprint in the market.

New Castle News
NEW CASTLE —
With every new report on the New Castle school district’s tuition scandal, the puzzle grows more complex.
Last week, in a story published in the New Castle News, superintendent John Sarandrea said the district is conducting hearings into non-resident school employees allegedly found to have sent their children to city schools without paying required tuition.
These hearings, overseen by the city school board, are closed to the public. Throughout this process, it has been obvious the law — or at least the law as interpreted by the city school system — is far more interested in protecting these employees than it is in the need of citizens to understand how their government works.
The identities of these employees has not been made public. We note this newspaper is in the midst of an open records battle with the school district, seeking those names and other financial and decision-making data related to findings by the Pennsylvania auditor general’s office.
The district has retained the services of an outside law firm to assist it in its efforts to keep the information confidential.
We happen to believe details related to this matter are — for any number of reasons — crucial to the public’s right to know. The evidence is clear that the New Castle school district failed miserably to account for funds in these cases. Now the public is expected to be satisfied that the district is suddenly doing its job properly, without any means of gauging that.
Based on comments and filings, the district appears to be taking the position it’s worried about the consequences of identifying the employees responsible. “They have union rights, too,” Sarandrea told The News. He noted any action the district takes against these employees could be challenged through a union grievance.
Well, there is a very simple solution to that. The matter could be turned over to law enforcement for criminal investigation. There is no union grievance available for criminal charges.
And we think there is ample indication individuals knowingly filed false documentation to avoid tuition payments. The state’s finding that all individuals responsible were school employees shows a pattern of internal abuse of public funds within the district.
In his recent comments to The News, Sarandrea implies school secretaries were to blame for the failure to take proper tuition payments. But that position fails to explain why the employees in question provided inaccurate residency data to the district. That’s not the fault of secretaries.
District officials would be doing themselves a favor, and striking a blow for public accountability, by calling for a criminal investigation into these matters. It would also send a clear message that this district is serious about putting an end to such abuses of taxpayers.
And if officials fail to do this, citizens ought to demand it.


Increasing interest in renewable energy sources makes attractive the exploitation of many small power hydraulic resources (micro-hydro – less than 100 kW). However, the high cost of hydraulic turbines hinders the actual realization of micro-hydro plants. An alternative cheaper solution could be to replace the turbine with a reverse-mode centrifugal pump, developing therefore a pump as turbine (PAT) system. Unfortunately, although a wide number of centrifugal pumps are commercially available for micro-hydro engineering plant, manufacturers do not provide information regarding the performance of centrifugal pumps in turbine mode. In this paper, a simple method based on a one-dimensional numerical code is presented for deriving the turbine efficiency of commercially available centrifugal pumps. The code estimates a sizing of the component using information such as impeller diameter, specific speed, head and flow rate at pump BEP, machine overall dimension which are provided in manufacturer catalogues, to deduce geometrical parameters of the machine, calculating the losses and thus determining PAT performances. The method was validated by a comparison of the predicted characteristic curves with some experimental measurements available on PATs working in a range of specific speed (Head in meters and flow rate in m3 /s) from 9 to 65. The numerical code calculations effectively predicted the measured efficiency of PATs. At BEP, the efficiency was estimated with a relative error of ±10% which is a value much lower than one obtained by using the available in literature correlations. A prediction within this error range is generally accepted for this kind of application.

Flashcards in Lesson 307 Satellite Imagery Interpretation Deck (18):
Why are geographical features important to satellite imagery?
Geographical features substantially influence the formation and dissipation of cloud, snowfall/rainfall and vegetation cover. Topography greatly influences the weather.
Which image will sometimes display displaced geography?
On POES images due to the satellite moving very quickly.
What are the five characteristics of cloud pattern?
Size of clouds or cloud groupings
Shape of clouds or cloud groupings
Shadow vertical structure (VIS and NIR only)
Texture of the surface
Tone or radiation flux (grey shade)
Which satellite images will display a shadow?
VIS and NIR
What factors will affect the tone of grey on all images?
Thickness of cloud
Resolution of sensor
Cloud composition (ice crystals vs. Water droplets)
How can we determine between low clouds and water bodies using satellite imagery?
Compare IR and VIS imagery. Keep in mind the temperature of bodies of water. Gaps wide enough to be resolved by the sensor occurs frequently over water surfaces.
Why may thin cirrus not be accurately displayed on IR imagery?
Cirrus clouds are partially transparent to IR radiation at 11 microns
Which cloud casts the longest shadow?
Why are areas of instability easier to identify on satellite imagery?
Due to distinct,easily recognizable signatures.
Which image is the best to identify the position of the jet stream?
Water vapour then IR and VIS.
Name the five atmospheric processes that indicate the possibility of turbulence on satellite imagery.
Strong surface winds
Stationary waves (Chinook) rotor cloud, ACSL, band clouds
Wind shear (jet stream) transverse banding, CI leaf, comma
Deformation zones - band and comma clouds
As the air in the flow successively rises and falls, cloud successively forms and dissipates creating the characteristic __________ __________ which is usually indicative of moderate to severe turbulence.
How can we differentiate between ice/snow and clouds?
Ice generally has a mosaic pattern to it with some larger leads appearing black. The reflectivity of snow when the sun angle falls below 45 degrees,aging snow and rain on snow have lower albedo, snow on different types of terrain. Use animation to help identify.
What is the main factor for the formation of stratus which is known as black stratus on IR imagery?
Strong radiation cooling during the night-time hours creates a well-defined boundary layer temperature inversion making the altitude of the stratus cloud tops several degrees warmer than the surrounding cloud free surface.
What can visually differentiate between a tropical storm and a hurricane on satellite imagery?
The tropical storm lacks an eye at the centre.
Which images better display smoke?
POES NIR and VIS and GOES VIS. The point source of the smoke will remain immobile and is indicative of the location of the fire.
At least two ingredients are needed to form streamers, they are:
A large body of open water
A source of cold air moving over that open water


Wednesday afternoon members of the Houston Police Officers’ Union began interviewing potential candidates for the Houston City Council race in District A.
Visibly missing was the incumbent Helena Brown.
Officials with the union say because of the candidates stance on police related issues they will not endorse her in her November 2013 bid for reelection.
Ray Hunt, president of HPOU, says, “our PAC met today and we have endorsed former Council Member Brenda Stardig and Mike Knox.”
Hunt says both of those individuals (dual endorsement) would be suitable candidates to replace Brown.
The union president did not give specifics on why they snubbed the incumbent.

The Kremlin has stated that the number of cryptocurrency transactions in Russia has tripled in 2023, with transfer volumes doubling. This information was revealed by Yuri Chikhanchin, the head of Rosfinmonitoring, a Kremlin-run agency that fights money laundering and terrorism funding. Chikhanchin also mentioned that Russians are now sending and receiving more crypto than ever before, with the volume of transactions almost doubling this year. He emphasized the need for the government to expedite the long-awaited crypto regulation, which has been delayed due to a disagreement between the anti-crypto Central Bank and the more progressive Ministry of Finance. Chikhanchin also explained the tracking methods used by Russia, including the use of the Transparent Blockchain tool, which allows banks to conduct crypto compliance and identify senders and recipients of over 30 cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the agency is collaborating with domestic partners to create a unified database of gray addresses associated with suspected money launderers and criminals.

Of the 250 hectares of the estate, 40 are devoted to the “noble” leisure park, which creates a very authentic setting around the castle. It is composed of large lawns and home to many remarkable trees including sequoia, ginkgoes, Lebanon cedars and plane trees. Its style is characterised by wide curved pathways that surround it and the strong presence of water.
It was most likely designed by the Bülher brothers, two architect-landscapers from Paris, who also created the park of Buttes-Chaumont in Paris. Candé Estate is classified as an “Espace Naturel Sensible” (ecologically sensitive land). This classification distinguishes sites that combine environmental protection and welcoming the public.

To reset a gas furnace, start by making sure the pilot light has been extinguished. Next, turn down the room thermostat to its coldest setting, and cut the furnace's power from your home's circuit breaker. Cut the main gas supply to the furnace, but make sure that the gas line that leads to the furnace pilot is on. Light a match, and use it to ignite the jet of the furnace's pilot flame. Then restore the furnace power and main gas supply, and press and hold the furnace reset button for roughly half a minute.

Dvorak and Haydn with the With the Beaufort Symphony… Lunch at The Outback
For its Thursday, March 3rd and Sunday, March 6th concerts, The Beaufort Symphony will shine the spotlight on the entire orchestra! Maestro Fred Devyatkin will lead the talented musicians in Dvorak’s 8th Symphony and the Haydn #100, also known as the ‘Military’ Symphony. Both concerts will be held in the auditorium at the USCB Performing Arts Center.
Contrary to the majority of composers whose lives were filled with insecurity and anguish, Antonin Dvorak and Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) stand apart – they were well-adjusted people! Haydn was blessed with a cheerful and happy temperament. When conflict overtook him, he turned to his strong Catholic faith for solace. Young musicians today still call him “Papa Haydn,” as they practice the melody of the so-called ‘Surprise’ Symphony. He is aptly known as the father of the symphony and the string quartet for his forward-looking ideas of instrumentation and musical structure.
He and Mozart share the pinnacle of the Classical period of music. The two were good friends who respected and admired each other’s music. Haydn’s position of Kappellmeister (Music Director) for the wealthy House of Esterhazy in Austria-Hungary kept him from any financial concerns. Although he lived with the family on their remote estate for 30 years, he was well known a teacher and composer. Among his students was Ludvig Van Beethoven! He was much celebrated during his lifetime, composing an astonishing number of symphonies – 104 – as well as a great number of string quartets. His later life was spent in Vienna where he wrote masses and oratorios, large religious compositions for chorus and orchestra, which are staples of choral performance today. In short his music has more than stood the test of time!
Haydn’s ‘Military’ Symphony’, #100 was written in 1793, about sixteen years before his death. It derives its name from the unusual instrumentation found in the second of the four movements. A surprising volley on the timpani occurs near the middle of the movement. He next introduces the triangle, cymbals and bass drum, (considered “Turkish” instruments) and heretofore not used by composers of the Classical period. The final measures of the movement feature a military bugle call. One early critic was not kind when Symphony # 100 was premiered. He described the sounds in the second movement as “the hellish roar of war increasing to a climax of horrid sublimity”. Today’s audiences will likely remain undisturbed by these 18th century innovations.
Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony #8 was once known as #4, the confusion being caused by the discovery of earlier works, which were then placed in chronological order.
He was born in Bohemia (now a part of the Czech Republic) in 1841 nearly one hundred years after Mozart and well into the Romantic period. While playing in the Prague National Opera he first came in contact with its conductor, Bedrich Smetana, who was also known for his nationalistic musical compositions. Dvorak, too, used Bohemian and Slavonic folk songs in his music to urge national pride and urge the rejection of Austrian rule.
It was with the help and support of Johannes Brahms in his thirties that he began to gain an international reputation. Folk music and original melodies, which evoke the folk tradition, would remain a lifelong interest as he began to explore longer symphonic works.
When tragedy or sadness overtook him, as in the death of three of his infant daughters, he turned his pathos and emotion into heart stoppingly beautiful compositions. He was a devoted family man -he and his wife welcomed six more children. Because of his temperament and celebrated status, his life was generally happy and successful. In 1893 he came to Spillville, Iowa to spend the summer, where he composed part of Symphony No. 9, “From The New World”. His sojourn in the Midwest and in New York City had a profound affect on the music of successive American composers – among them George Gershwin. However loneliness for his native land took him back to Bohemia, where he spent the remaining years of his life in Prague. His 8th Symphony is filled with magical melodies that delight audiences; music that is both expressive and poignant.

The College of Psychiatric & Neurologic Pharmacists (CPNP) and members of its Substance Use Disorders Committee are pleased to announce the release of a toolkit intended to provide quick tips and a consolidated resource on the treatment of alcohol use disorders (AUD). The Pharmacist Guide to Alcohol Use Disorder is authored by CPNP members James J. Gasper, PharmD, BCPP and Bethany A. DiPaula, PharmD, BCPP and is intended to highlight both the evidence base available as well as strategies of clinical decision making used by expert clinicians. The content reflects the views and practice of the authors as substantiated with evidence-based facts as well as opinion and experience. The toolkit provides quick tips and guideline summaries in the following areas of AUD:
Lead author James J. Gasper, PharmD, BCPP, noted that the Pharmacist Guide to Alcohol Use Disorder toolkit is intended to fill a gap in information available to pharmacists. “Although opioid overdose is and should be a national public health priority, 15.1 million people (5.6%) aged 12 or older in the US met the criteria for an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in 2016. Unfortunately, it has been estimated that about 78% of people suffering with an alcohol use disorder do not receive treatment. This toolkit should aid pharmacists in playing an important role in patient management including appropriate screening for and treatment of AUD.”
CPNP’s President Megan Ehret, PharmD, MS, BCPP, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland, pointed to the role that pharmacists can and should play in screening for and treating AUD. “An estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Given their interactions with patients, pharmacists can and should play a key role in screening for and caring for patients with AUD. Recognizing the comorbid nature of alcohol use and psychiatric disorders, psychiatric pharmacists especially can make valuable contributions in treating the whole patient.”
The Pharmacist Guide to Alcohol Use Disorder toolkit will be a living document that is updated and maintained on the CPNP website as a freely available source of information.
