Given the type of folks in charge of New Mexico’s two legislative chambers, there was no doubt that this year’s session would not produce sweeping economic-development initiatives based on liberating labor and capital to grow jobs and wealth in the Land of Enchantment.
But while right-to-work was dead on arrival in Santa Fe, that’s no reason for New Mexico’s local governments to fear ending compulsory unionism within their jurisdictions.
Under legislation passed over Harry Truman’s veto, states have the ability to enact laws to bar “organized labor” from compelling workers to cough up dues or “agency fees” to keep their jobs. But with progress blocked in Frankfort, in 2014, Kentucky counties began passing their own RTW ordinances. Legal squabbling inevitably ensued, with Big Labor targeting Hardin County over its 8-1 vote to go RTW. As the state’s AFL-CIO chief put the left’s conventional wisdom, RTW could only be enacted “at the state level.”
In early 2016, U.S. District Judge David J. Hale ruled against the county. But in November, his decision was overturned by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Written by Judge David W. McKeague, the opinion found that “political subdivisions are components of the State, within the State, that exercise governmental power of the State” — ergo, local RTW ordinances are allowed.
The issue is likely to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court one day, since it is being contested in Illinois as well. (Lincolnshire, a suburb of Chicago, went RTW in 2015, and it falls under the Seventh Circuit.) But McKeague presented some compelling arguments for “local RTW,” including two noteworthy precedents that would be tough for justices to overlook:
* “The principle is well settled that local governmental units are created as convenient agencies for exercising such of the governmental powers of the State as may be entrusted to them . . . in its absolute discretion. The exclusion of political subdivisions cannot be inferred from the express authorization to the ‘States’ because political subdivisions are components of the very entity the statute empowers.”
– Wisconsin Public Intervenor v. Mortier (1991)
* “Absent a clear statement to the contrary, Congress’ reference to the ‘regulatory authority of a State’ should be read to preserve, not preempt, the traditional prerogative of the States to delegate their authority to their constituent parts.”
– City of Columbus v. Ours Garage and Wrecker Service (2002)
Local-government officials throughout New Mexico should seriously consider adopting their own RTW measures. As research by the Rio Grande Foundation and many other organizations shows, banning compulsory unionism is a strong economic-development tool. And with the highest unemployment rate in the nation, the need for labor freedom in our state is more urgent than ever.

From the acclaimed, bestselling author of Star of the Sea and winner of the 2021 Irish Book Awards Book of the Year for Shadowplay, comes a gripping and atmospheric new novel set in occupied Rome.
September 1943: German forces have Rome under their control. Gestapo boss Paul Hauptmann rules over the Eternal City with vicious efficiency. Hunger is widespread. Rumors fester. The war's outcome is far from certain. Diplomats, refugees, Jews, and escaped Allied prisoners flee for protection into Vatican City, the world's smallest state, a neutral, independent country nestled within the city of Rome. A small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest is drawn into deadly battle of wits as they attempt to aid those seeking refuge.
My Father's House is inspired by the extraordinary true story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, who, together with his accomplices, risked his life to smuggle Jews and escaped Allied prisoners out of Italy right under the nose of his Nazi nemesis. Suspenseful and beautifully written, My Father's House tells an unforgettable story of love, faith, sacrifice, and courage.
"Few living writers can take us back in time so assuredly, with such sensual density, through such gorgeous sentences."--Peter Carey

The Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Clinic located above the Kawana Private Hospital strives for excellence in the provision of the latest treatment objectives and outcomes for all patients in a caring environment. We continue to provide these services in an ethical and responsible manner and we support a mutual respect for others abilities and functions. We strictly adhere to the codes of practice established by our professional bodies, namely The Royal Australian College of Surgeons, the Australian Orthopaedic Association and the Australian Medical Association.
Dr Lawrie strongly believes in continuing his education and maintaining his skills so as to provide the highest standard of care as possible for his patients. Although the Sunshine Coast is a regional centre our patients can expect the same level of care that is available at any centre. To this end, Dr Lawrie continues his ongoing education to offer the latest techniques available whilst making decisions using the appropriate scientific data and not merely following the current trends of the day. This is especially true in reconstructive and arthroplasty surgery.

Correct use of spot welder
1. When welding, the orientation of the electrode rod s […]
1. When welding, the orientation of the electrode rod should be adjusted first. When the spot welding machine presses the electrode just to the weldment, the electrode arms must be parallel to each other.
2. The selection of the current conditioning switch stage can be selected according to the thickness and raw materials of the weldment. After the power is turned on, the power indicator should be on. The pressure of the electrode can be adjusted by adjusting the spring pressure nut and changing its compression degree.
3. After finishing the above adjustments, you can connect the cooling water first and then turn on the power to prepare for welding. The procedure of the welding process: The welding piece is placed between the two electrodes, and the foot pedal is depressed, and the upper electrode is brought into contact with the welding piece and pressurized. When the foot pedal is continuously depressed, the power contact switch is turned on, so the transformer starts to work. The circuit is energized to heat the weldment. When welding must release the pedal after a certain time, the electrode rises, and the power of the spring is used to intercept the power supply and then restore the original state. The single-point welding process is completed.
4. Weldment preparation and installation: Before welding the steel weldment, all dirt, oil, scale and rust must be removed. For hot-rolled steel, it is best to remove the oxide scale by pickling, sandblasting or using a grinding wheel. Although uncleaned weldments can be spot welded, the service life of the electrode is severely reduced, and the output power and quality of spot welding are reduced together. About thin and medium carbon steel with thin coating can be directly welded.

It’s officially November, which to some people means Thanksgiving, but to others (like my sister) November means NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). As my dear sister pointed out to me yet again this year, as she has for the last three years in a row, she has won NaNoWriMo for the last two years and plans to again this year, while I, her older sister, haven’t won yet once. I told her bemusedly that I have a few higher priorities this year, like planning a wedding, that would interfere with letting a novel consume my life for a month.
Still, there is a bit of me that is wistfully thinking how much fun it would be to write like crazy for a month and how good it would feel to actually, maybe-hmm, just finish a novel-length story for once in my life. Maybe I should just start scribbling and plotting again…
But then I think about everything that needs to be done by the spring and I feel more like hiding under the blankets on my bed and procrastinating on everything than I feel like taking on another project. 😉 So – no NaNoing for me, this year. I’ll just keep plugging away at my few blog posts, my Thanksgiving cards and the wedding planning. Who knows? Maybe next year will be the year for NaNoWriMo and me (somehow I doubt it though).
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this year? What is your novel about? How is your family coping since you’ve been sucked into the black abyss of writing 50,000 words in 30 days?

- On Good Things Utah this morning – Ever since he was a little kid, Pierce Freelon has been scared of getting a shot at the doctor’s office. So he teamed up with bassist and vocalist Divinity Roxx and wrote “Cootie Shot,” to face his fears and build up the courage to get vaccinated! We have a clip of the video to show you. Plus, speaking of vaccines, Pfizer’s vaccine was found to be safe and 100% effective in 12 to 15 year olds and was just approved by the FDA for that age group. The Pfizer shot is already being used in people 16 and up and the company has also launched a clinical trial in kids 6 months to 11 years. Data on how well the vaccine works in kids ages 5 to 11 could be available by the end of summer.
- And it just makes sense that with all the talk about COVID-19, kids are now using the topic during play time. A number of children are incorporating COVID-19 into their play, according to parents, teachers and psychologists. Children create scenarios where they pretend to care for others with COVID, get sick, or even die. “We have a lot of caring for sick baby dolls in our 2- and 3-year-olds,” said Tovah Klein, Director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development. “We had a little girl who was laying on the bed the other day and told her parents, ‘I’m dead. I have COVID.'” These days, lots of stuffed animals are wearing masks or having their temperatures taken before they can enter a play store, said Laura Markham, author of “Aha Parenting.” And the experts agree that kind of play is almost always a good thing.
- Plus, we tackle temper tantrums this morning – there’s only thing more mortifying than watching a grown adult throw a temper tantrum: being a grown adult throwing a temper tantrum. In all likelihood, you’ve been on at least one side of that equation, either shrinking from someone who seems to have lost all control of their emotions or having lost the ability to regulate your own. It can be tempting to label this behavior as “crazy,” and while some adult temper tantrums are due to mental health struggles (which do not, for the record, make you or anyone else “crazy”), others are simply a hazard of being alive. Stress, unsurprisingly, can be a trigger, which is why the pandemic may have made temper tantrums more prevalent than they were before. Reagan tells us what to do if you feel your self melting down. Hope you join us for these Hot Topics and more this morning on GTU!

Anxiety is becoming more common. Through the evolution of technology and society, the difficulties in adjusting are growing. Even though life may seem overwhelming at the moment, you should not let anxiety get you down, and if you strive to make it a thing of the past, then continue on to the article below.
Keep your everyday stress managed to avoid overwhelming anxiety. If you are constantly experiencing high levels of stress, you are more likely to have increased feelings of anxiety. Figure out how to get rid of certain pressures, both at home and work. Also make sure to give yourself some down time on a daily basis.
Exercising on a daily basis can help to keep your anxiety at bay. Endorphins, which are produced from physical activity, will keep your mind off of your stress and relax you. Furthermore, exercise is good for your overall health.
Get a handle on daily stress to ward off anxiety. Your stress levels tend to increase when your anxiety is high as well. Try to delegate some jobs to other people and free yourself from some of your responsibilities. Also make sure to give yourself some down time on a daily basis.
If you are suffering from anxiety, your breathing can be disrupted. You can combat this by practicing breathing exercises to regain control. Softly count and breathe, while you let relaxation take over your body. For maximum results, do your best to pick a quiet spot to practice your controlled breathing.
Tell trusted friends about your fears and worries in exaggerated tones. After telling someone your greatest fear, you can sometimes view it from a much different perspective.
Set goals for yourself daily. This goal can help keep you focused throughout the day and to remain up beat. Keeping your mind occupied also helps to keep you from mulling over negative aspects of life that may invite anxiety.
If you experience ongoing bouts of anxiety, it is wise to consult with a professional. There are quite a few advances in treatments and medication, so there should be something out there that can help you. Make an appointment with your doctor so you can find out what is best for you.
Many people with elevated anxiety crave salt intensely. Reason being, is that your body is informing you that more salt is needed, and you end up consuming more. Do not add sodium, which is often responsible for hypertension, to your diet without the advice of a qualified physician.
Having a consistent, busy schedule can also help with anxiety. When you just sit there all day and don’t do anything, your mind may start to just focus on stressful things. Small things like doing housework or washing your car can help greatly.
Hopefully, now you have a good idea of how to get your anxiety under control. Make sure that you apply the knowledge you have gained and consider sharing your new knowledge with a friend who is suffering from anxiety. If this article helped you, then sharing it with others is one of the best things that you could do for humanity.
If negative news deeply affects you, then it might be time to put down the newspaper. Allow yourself to catch up on current events for a few minutes each day, but do not spend all day consuming constant updates on disasters, war, or other emotionally draining topics that send your fears sky-high.

Federal Housing Finance Agency director James Lockhart III said GSEs Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) — along with the Federal Home Loan Banks — will maintain prominent roles in the country’s economic recovery, according to a press release Friday by the National Association of Realtors. “As director of FHFA, I am using the authorities established in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 to ensure that the housing GSEs provide stability and liquidity to the mortgage market, support affordable housing and operate safely and soundly,” Lockhart announced at the NAR’s 2008 annual conference. While Lockhart said placing Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship was necessitated by “an inherent conflict and flawed business model embedded in the GSE structure,” he assured industry players that the FHFA will uphold its responsibility to strengthen the enterprises. Originators, at least, seem to agree with Lockhart’s conviction that placing the GSEs into conservatorship was a necessary action. A recent survey conducted by research firm MORTECH LLC showed 75 percent of lenders believe the government had good reason to intervene. The NAR has also said it supports measures by FHFA to control the economy, culminating in the announcement Friday of new GSE loan limits for deemed “high-cost” areas. The NAR in October submitted a stimulus plan to Congress and the administration, calling for consumer-driven provisions to eliminate repayment of the first-time home buyer tax credit currently in place and a general refocus of federal effort on supporting the housing and mortgage markets instead of “providing capital to banks with no strings attached.” “Our members see firsthand the impact that an unstable housing market is having on communities all across the country,” said NAR president Richard F. Gaylord. “Ensuring that the nation has a strong secondary mortgage market and continued affordable financing will certainly help stabilize housing prices.” Write to Diana Golobay at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Most campuses of Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke’s University Health Network received an A in the semiannual Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade released this week.
Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg, Pocono and Hazleton all received an A grade, as did St. Luke’s Fountain Hill, Anderson, Miners, Monroe and Warren campuses.
Dr. Brian Nester, LVHN’s president and CEO, said in a news release that patients expect quality care in a safe environment. The A grades, he said, are a “reflection of the exceptional and skilled people — physicians, nurses, and many many others — who provide that care at Lehigh Valley Health Network every single day.”
According to Leapfrog Group, about 440,000 people die each year in the U.S. from hospital errors and preventable injuries, accidents and infections. The nonprofit grades more than 2,600 acute-care hospitals across the country as it promotes quality, safety and transparency.
Donna Sabol, St. Luke’s vice president and chief quality officer, called the A grades a “validation of St. Luke’s continued focus on and commitment to patient safety.” She said in a news release that she is proud of the network’s doctors, nurses and staff who make patient safety “their overriding priority.”
Not all area hospitals earned the top grade.
Lehigh Valley Hospital-Schuylkill got a C, performing below average in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and clostridium difficile (C. diff) infections.
St. Luke’s-Allentown Campus got a B, performing below average in MRSA and surgical site infections after colon surgery.
Easton Hospital also got a B, performing below average in C. diff infections and surgical site infections after colon surgery.
In state rankings, Pennsylvania placed 18th, with 34% of its hospitals receiving A grades. That’s a drop of nearly 4 percentage points from the fall survey.
Leapfrog advises patients to be mindful of the care they receive in hospitals and to talk to someone immediately if they believe something has gone wrong. If concerns are not acknowledged or addressed, patients should follow up with hospitals, even after being discharged, Leapfrog says.
More information on the grades is at hospitalsafetygrade.org.

The family of a Bradford man who died in a tragic roof incident have paid tribute to their “bundle of fun” who was always the “life and soul of the party”.
Among those was his partner, 28, who continues to be treated for none life-threatening injuries in the hospital.
In a call with the Telegraph & Argus, sister Shelley Stones and her mother, Penny Holden, sit down on a bed in a quiet room as they recall the many memories they shared together.
“He was a bundle of fun,” Shelley said, before Penny chuckled to herself and said “Mischievous!”.
Mark, who grew up in Horton Bank Top, was a long-time Bradford City fan and music lover, known for crazy nights out in town and his passion for dance, rave and retro house music.
His sister recalls some of his favourites were DJs Tom Zanetti, Paul Taylor, Rob Tissero and Utah Saints.
Back in the 90s, he was a regular raver at Angels, a popular nightclub and music venue in Burnley and ventured to Glastonbury in his campervan.
His sister recalls nights where he’d pull wheelies on the dance floor at Lloyds in a wheelchair belonging to his best mate, Terrence.
On another crazy night out, the pals began “racing in his wheel chair” after meeting Terrence at Bradford Interchange.
“It showed up on the CCTV and the security guard was laughing,” Shelley said.
“We’ve had so many laughs.”
Mark, a former pupil at Hollingwood Primary School and Queensbury Upper School, was in telesales for a number of years before taking up a new role at Tesco’s during the pandemic.
Shelley said: “I just don’t even know what to say.
“We were inseparable.
“We did everything together. He taught me to write, tie my shoe laces.
“He was really into music. Me and him went to many a festival together. When I was 18, he took me.
“He taught me everything I bloody know.
“He was a bundle of fun.
“He was always the last to leave the party and I can’t get over the fact it’s taken something like this. He was just the life and soul – everything, everybody really (has said after his death), it’s so touching and it shows what in impact my brother had on people.
“He lived a very full life.
“He took anyone under his wing, always a listening ear.”
When asked about Mark’s lasting legacy, Shelley said: “Just amazing memories of us being together and going to our little festivals.”
Mark did not have any children but leaves behind his two nephews, David and Calum, and two beloved dogs, Karma and Pebbles.
The family has launched a fundraiser which will go towards house repairs. You can donate by clicking here.

The gear shifting strategies strongly influence the vehicle fuel consumption because they change the powertrain inertia and the engine operation point. The literature normally presents gear shifting strategies based on the engine power and torque to improve the vehicle acceleration performance. Strategies based on fuel economy are difficult to determine due to a large number of factors that influence the engine behavior such as the available transmission ratios, required acceleration and vehicle speed. In this paper it was evaluated the influence of the addition of more gear ratios in the vehicle gearbox, which initially contains five available gear ratios. For each proposed gearbox configuration, the gear shifting strategy was optimized through an algorithm developed to improve the engine fuel consumption in the Brazilian standard urban driving cycle NBR6601. The simulations were performed by means of co-simulation between the multibody dynamics software AdamsTM (where is located the model based on a conventional 1.0L vehicle) and Matlab/SimulinkTM (where is implemented the vehicle longitudinal dynamics equations). The optimization algorithm elaborated in MatlabTM utilizes previous simulations results, stored in a database, to compare them with the results obtained performing new strategies.

Not only individuals will be affected but also…

His attacks on the press are “repulsive,” and “he should be the figure of suspicion, not the press,” when it comes to “fake news.” A president who “constantly deflects and distorts and distracts — who must find someone else to blame — is charting a very dangerous path.” Although he mentioned Rodrigo Duterte later in…
Tiglao is what he has been accusing people of: a liar and a propagandist.
Whether they’re in the opposition or administration side, the distinguished senators of this endangered Republic, who’re otherwise hopelessly fractious, share one thing: their hatred for “fake news” — and a consequent, irrepressible urge to penalize its disseminators. That’s what last week’s hearings on the subject led by the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass…

Another variant of Covid-19 has been detected in Africa. The B.1.1.529 variant, which has been officially named “Omicron”, has caused concern over its “unusual constellation of mutations”. Researchers are now racing to track the concerning rise of this new variant and work out whether it has the potential to dodge some of the protection given by vaccines.
There is a lot of speculation but here is what you need to know so far:
Where has this variant been discovered?
The new variant, also known as B1.1.529, was first spotted in Botswana on the 11 November and on Monday, officials recorded four cases in people who were fully vaccinated. In South Africa, the first case was detected on the 14 November, and as of yesterday, almost 100 cases had been detected. Early PCR tests reveal that 90% of 1,100 cases reported on Wednesday in one South African province were caused by the new variant.
An additional case was also found in Hong Kong, which came from a traveller from South Africa who tested positive three days into quarantine.
Israeli said today that it has detected its first case of the variant in a person who had returned from Malawi.
And most recently, according to local media reports, two suspected cases of the new variant have also been detected in Belgium. If confirmed, Belgium will become the first European country to detect the new variant.
Where did it come from?
There has been speculation that the mutation possibly emerged from an immunocompromised patient (someone with an impaired immune system) who had the virus for an extended period of time, and potentially from someone with undiagnosed HIV/AIDS (South Africa has 8.2 million people infected with HIV, the most in the world).
Professor Francois Balloux, The Director of the Genetics Institute at University College London, said that the variant’s mutations are in “an unusual constellation” that “accumulated apparently in a single burst.” He believes this indicates that the variant could have evolved during a “chronic infection of an immunocompromised person, possibly in an untreated HIV/AIDs patient.”
The beta variant, a mutation identified last year in South Africa, may have also come from an HIV-infected person.
What’s so different about this variant?
Experts have said that coming from the B.1.1 lineage, the Omicron variant has an “incredibly high” number of mutations in its spike protein (32 mutations to be exact), with fears that it is highly transmissible and effective at evading the body’s immune response. Prof Tulio de Oliveira, the Director of the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation in South Africa, said it was an “unusual constellation of mutations” and that it was “very different” to other variants that have circulated.
These 32 mutations can make the spike protein less identifiable to our antibodies. Consequently, they will not be as effective at neutralising the virus, which can bypass immune defences and cause infection.

There are concerns in Whitehall that this variant could be worse than Delta (which was more than twice as transmissible as the Wuhan strain), which could mean new variant vaccines are developed. According to Tom Whipple, science editor of The Times, these take weeks to develop rather than a year, but they are still unlikely to be ready to stop a wave once it begins.
How concerned are scientists?
There are mixed views on how concerned we should be about the latest variant. Viruses change all the time, and mutations are to be expected. Professor Balloux said today there is no reason to get overly concerned and that it was difficult to predict how transmissible it may be at the stage. He explained: “For the time being, it should be closely monitored and analysed, but there is no reason to get overly concerned, unless it starts going up in frequency in the near future.”
Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London, said that the variant “very, very much should be monitored due to that horrific spike profile” which could mean that it is more contagious than any other variant so far. He said: “Export to Asia implies this might be more widespread than sequences alone would imply.” He added: “The extremely long branch length and incredibly high amount of spike mutations suggest this could be of real concern (predicted escape from most known monoclonal antibodies).”
Nevertheless, Dr Peacock said he still hopes that the variant will turn out to be one of an “odd cluster” and that it will not be as transmissible as feared.
How has the UK responded?
In a statement to the House of Commons, the health secretary Sajid Javid has said that the emergence of the variant was of “huge international concern” and that it could pose a “substantial risk to public health.” It is highly likely that the strain has spread outside the African countries where it is believed to have developed, but Javid told MPs that there had not yet been a case detected in the UK.
“The variant has an unusually large number of mutations,” Javid said. “Yesterday, the UK Health Security Agency classified B1.1.529, as a new variant under investigation, and the Variant Technical group has designated it as a variant under investigation with very high priority. It’s the only variant with this designation, making it a higher priority than beta. It shares many of the features of Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants.”
He added: “Early indications show this variant may be more transmissible than the Delta variant, and current vaccines may be less effective against it.”
The health secretary expressed concern over the “exponential” growth of the variant in South Africa as the country’s population was thought to have significant natural immunity.
What new restrictions are being imposed?
England has now placed five African countries – South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia and Zimbabwe – onto its Red List from noon on Friday. Scotland has also confirmed that all arrivals from the countries must self-isolate and take two PCR tests from midday on Friday. Anyone arriving after 4am on Saturday will need to stay at a quarantine hotel.
Israel, Germany, Japan, France and the Czech Republic are among other countries that have suspended flights. The European Union have recommended all member states stop all flight immediately.
What can you do to protect yourself?
The advice is to get vaccinated if you have not already done so. The health secretary also pleaded for Britons aged 40 and above who received their second jab at least six months ago to get their booster shot. Javid told MPs that the pandemic was “far from over” and that “we must act with caution and do all we can keep to keep the virus at bay.”

First poster for "Oz the Great and Powerful" debuts
Director Sam Raimi may not be helming Spider-Man movies these days, but he’s hardly been resting on his laurels.
Walt Disney Studios today unveiled the gorgeous first poster from Raimi’s next movie, “Oz the Great and Powerful,” a live-action fantasy that explores the origins of the titular character of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel “The Wizard of Oz.”
“Oz the Great and Powerful” is due in theaters March 8, 2013, but it’s not the only new movie adaptation coming of “The Wizard of Oz,” which of course, already was made into the 1939 classic film starring Judy Garland. According to EW.com, we’ve got an animated film featuring the voice of “Glee’s” Lea Michele and a CG/stop-motion version from the co-director of “Corpse Bride” coming, too.
Of course, the origins of the story’s Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North already have been explored on the stage in the blockbuster musical “Wicked,” with Oklahoma native Kristin Chenoweth originating the role of Glinda.
It will be interesting to see how many trips down the Yellow Brick Road film fans are willing to take.
“Oz the Great and Powerful” stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Zach Braff. Here is the synopsis:

As soon as you get the hang of it, gardening is a fairly intuitive procedure. That does not mean we can not garden smarter. Exactly like devices like smartphones, smart gardening takes advantage of this technology around us. Tech is not just for video games and telephone programs. Gardening with technology can save time, energy, and money.
Check out these intelligent garden methods and take home some creative ideas that could assist you from the landscape.
What is Smart Gardening?
Smart technology is all the rage, but did you know that it translates to useful aid in the garden? Whether you’re a lazy or just uninformed gardener, gardening with technology can help with chores and tasks common in the landscape.
From irrigation methods into self-control lawn mowers, technology has its finger on the gardener’s pulse. A lot of us are knowledgeable about smart plant yards, which track the health and moisture levels of houseplants, but the concept does not stop there.
Use our smart gardening manual for hints on technological products that are engineered to make healthier, low maintenance solutions for your lawn.
Smart Gardening Guide
A growing number of goods are being developed to help lower our carbon footprint, simplify chores, and help us be wiser consumers. Such technology can improve plant maintenance, help with landscape design, and notify us of the best plants for specific sites. In an imagined future, all of the drudgeries of gardening will be eliminated, leaving just the pleasurable aspects of keeping your dwelling.
Smart Plant Monitors
There are lots of plant monitors accessible to introduce technology to the beginning gardener. A number of them are simply inserted into the soil and may take measurements of moisture levels, monitor humidity and light, and even examine the soil. Many can also determine the nutrients in the soil.
Indoor gardens take the guesswork out of growing your own herbs or food. Most are self-contained systems that offer light, automatic watering, fertilizer, and customized heating levels. All you will need to do is plant or sow the seed and the device does the rest.
Smart sprinklers do more than simply schedule irrigation. They can ascertain breaks and flows in the system, save water, adjust to accommodate weather, and frequently can be monitored and altered via your telephone or computer.
A really wonderful new concept is the expandable pot. The containers are believed to expand as the plant develops so you do not have to keep purchasing pots up a size.
Garden programs can assist with design, plant ID, positioning of irrigation, solve problem areas, and much more. Many, such as the GKH Gardening Companion (for Android and iPhone), can be found free or you may buy easy-to-use guides in an assortment of formats.
Mowbot is an automatic lawnmower. It functions similarly to robotic vacuums only in a mower. No more sweating in the hot sun trying to get the lawn cut.
A product under development is Tertill, a solar-powered weeding robot. The point is that you simply set the product out in a sunny location of the backyard and it will weed for you. No more back-breaking stooping or use of substances.
How to Make a Smart Garden
A few of the goods are a little on the expensive side, so pick your battles in your budget first. If you already have an irrigation system, that could be the first method to bring technology into the house.
Even apartment and condominium dwellers can use the indoor climbing systems, smart grow lights, and self-watering containers.

rbaez at sopde.es
Wed May 23 04:31:49 EDT 2007
Im using Chameleon to develop a web map application, and it works really
well most of the time, but sometimes I get an error like the one described
The problem is that sometimes the image is not generated, causing the
session error described before, and causing other widgets to fail, for
instance, in KeyMapDHTML, I get a Call to a member function on a
non-object error, which is quite obvious because theres no image.
I also get this problem with the Scalebar widget, which sometimes also fails
Ive tried to slightly modify the drawmap.php code which causes the error,
but havent been able to find what the problem is.
Any hints about this?
Im now using ms4w 1.5.5 and chameleon 2.4.1 for developing and testing my
web map app, and need to fix this before moving to a Linux server machine.
I really need to solve this problem, so your help would be really
Thank you in advance.

Newspapers on Thursday, March 19, report on a looming total lockdown in reaction to the spread of coronavirus which has now seen the cases rise to seven in Kenya.
The appointment of Major General Abdalla Badi by President Uhuru Kenyatta to take over the administration of Nairobi county government as Governor Mike Sonko battles a graft case has also been given prominence in today's dailies.
1. The Star
The daily reports that a couple that resides in Nairobi and tested positive for coronavirus has been allowed to go home and self quarantine. The duo stays in their high end home in Kitisuru and they proved the ability to self quarantine and will not infect other family members.
They will be tested twice after two weeks to confirm if the virus has cleared. Their family has a total of six people.
The two had travelled from Madrid, Spain to Kenya through Dubai. Their first test had turned negative but a confirmatory test was positive.
According to The Star, the government may consider deploying the military to enforce a lockdown in order to combat the virus.
2. People Daily
Some of the MPs who travelled in the same plane with the fourth person who tested positive for coronavirus have gone into self-quarantine.
The lawmakers who recently travelled from the UK include senators George Khaniri (Vihiga) and Aaron Cheruiyot (Kericho) and MPs Adan Keynan and Taita Taveta's Naomi Shaban. Khaniri and Cheruiyot have confirmed that they are on self-quarantine.
It has, however, emerged that Eldas legislator Adan Keynan did not travel on the same plane (one with the patient) with his colleagues who were also accompanied by a section of parliamentary staff.
The MPs and Parliamentary staff on the flight in question had their samples taken and sent to the laboratory for testing.
3. Taifa Leo
Council of Governor's boss Wyclif Oparanya has urged Kenyans residing in urban centres not to travel to their rural homes to curb the risk of spreading the deadly infection in villages.
Though no one has been restricted to travel within the country, Oparanya said incase the infection reached the villages, then it will put more people at risk and the hardest hit will be older people who live upcountry.
Oparanya, who is also Kakamega county Governor, said older people are more likely to succumb to the disease since their immunity is not as strong as that of the younger population.
His warning came as it emerged many people were leaving the cities to their villages to escape coronavirus. Nairobi has seven cases and the number is feared to rise.
4. The Standard
Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Mutahi Kagwe has said that Kenya Medical Training Colleges (KMTC) will be used as isolation centres for coronavirus suspected cases.
He said this will ease pressure on the Mbagathi Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) quarantine facilities which are now dedicated to people who have tested positive for the virus.
5. Daily Nation
Authorities in Nairobi are expected to start fumigating the city with chemicals to kill any traces of coronavirus germs that may be resting on surfaces.
According to the daily, Nairobi has received over 700 litres of chlorine to be used during the exercise that targets buildings and alleys with a high number of people.
The capital city has received more than 20 pumps that will be fitted on vehicles and will be deployed during the exercise.
Others targeted during the exercise are street urchins.

Hike Oregon: Sweet Creek Falls, Oregon
Sweet Creek Falls, Oregon
Sweet Creek Falls near Mapleton, Oregon in the Siuslaw National Forest is a beautiful and easy day hike. Located about an hour west of Eugene, Sweet Creek Falls is a quick getaway. It’s also a great stop if you’re heading towards the coast.
Hike Sweet Creek Falls
As soon as you open your car door at the trailhead you are greeted by the sound of rushing, cascading water. Like most places in Western Oregon, you are surrounded by trees. Huge trees. And the trees are covered in moss. The ground and the walls of the gorge play host to a myriad of ferns and vines. Being in an Oregon forest is truly like being in a fairytale. Everything is green. Green and vibrant and alive. The water here is clear as it rushes over rocks and down drop-offs and spills from the rocks. Where pools of it collect, it is a blue, opaque painting, reflecting the surrounding forest.
We arrived around noon on Sunday and there were people already there. We began at the Homestead Trailhead and hiked only to Sweet Creek Falls, about 1.1 miles to the falls and the same back. The hike is easy, fairly flat and well-maintained. There are a multitude of places to stop and relax or take photos. You will see eleven waterfalls, according to the Forest Service Website. I didn’t count but I believe it. The hike follows one giant, lazy cascade with several larger falls. Parts of the trail were frosty and slick into the afternoon but that just comes with winter.
History of Sweet Creek Falls
The particular valley that Sweet Creek Falls is located in was settled in 1879 by Zarah T. Sweets, an Oregon Trail Pioneer. The area is within the boundaries of Siuslaw National Forest and is considered part of Oregon’s Coastal Range. The Sweet Creek Falls Trail follows part of an old wagon road that was used to settle the area.
The geological history of the area is interesting: the North American Continental Plate has been shifting west for a long time, pushing against the Pacific seafloor. About 30 million years ago, the Pacific seafloor buckled upwards and created what is now the Coastal Range, including Sweet Creek Falls.
This area of Oregon was occupied long before the pioneers arrived. People were thriving in this area as far back as 9,000 years ago. The Siuslaw Tribe occupied the area surrounding Sweet Creek Falls . They established villages, a class system and lived well off the abundant resources available to them. The Siuslaw were devastated several times by diseases from foreign visitors throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Their language was extinct by 1950.
Visit Sweet Creek Falls
To get to Sweet Creek Falls from Eugene, take 126 W towards Florence. In the town of Mapleton, just before you cross over the bridge, you will turn LEFT onto Sweet Creek Road. The Homestead Trailhead is about 10 miles down Sweet Creek Road and will be on your RIGHT.
This is definitely a great day hike. Next time I’d like to complete the whole trail and go to Beaver Creek Falls. Has anyone else visited this beautiful place?

According to Hollywood and its demographic cinema box office soothsayers, the only people who have the ability to purchase tickets to and actively watch an action film are men and teenage boys. They believe that women, for the most part, cannot watch these films - unless their boyfriends, husbands, male friends, etc. have explicitly gave them entrance to the theater or made the magical DVD player start the film.
Either way, it is assumed that men are the ones with the keys to the magic that is "boom and vroom." Hollywood types with these lofty gendered assumptions are most definitely incorrect. Women also enjoy action films, especially the new growth of the hyper-masculine action narrative. The hyper-masculine action film refers to a post-Die Hard
genre where road narratives depend on cars that do the unimaginable, such as the Fast and Furious
franchise, and the action film is expected to have either Jason Statham
or Guy Ritchie
Women Like 'Em Too
Before an analysis of this new subgenre is explored, a case for female viewers must be established. One of the reasons women like and, horror of horrors, enjoy
hyper-masculine texts is because they are so close to melodramas. Yes, boys, melodramas. The melodrama, a genre that typically is associated with strict female viewers, has almost the same construction as the hyper-masculine action film. As tears flow in a melodrama, bullet casings rain down in action films. The desire the female lead in a melodrama has for the male lead equals the desire a man has for his car or phallic weapon in an action film.
A Freudian case could be made for the obvious symbolism of the action film explosion as orgasm. Emotions in both genres are hyperbolic and beg the audience to join their emotional journeys vicariously. Moreover, a case for the popularity of this genre for women is the fact that Jason Statham (Transporter
) is the action film's Paul Rudd
. Men want to be him, and women want to be with him. Guy Ritchie, the poster director for this genre is the Douglas Sirk (a famous melodrama director of such classics as Written on the Wind
) of hyper masculine texts such as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
, and RocknRolla
. All of these factors should add up to box office gold in the eyes of Hollywood.
Lots Of Violence, Ridiculous Weapons & Fast Cars
The issue that comes hand in hand with enjoying these films is how to negotiate feelings on the representation of other women in these films. While watching Statham in "Crank," and soon to be Crank 2: High Voltage
, the "Transporter" franchise, Death Race
, The Italian Job
, "Snatch," and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," it is hard to ignore supporting female characters. Whether in the form of prostitutes, throwaway scantily clad women, or even Warden Hennessey of "Death Race," women are rarely depicted as active, positive women in this genre. Warden Hennessey (Joan Allen
) comes the closest in these films in regards to power and control. Her use of this power is what motivates Jensen Ames (Statham) into his journey of revenge. Even as a negative power, her role did not help "Death Race" in the box office. Why "Death Race" arguably flopped also calls into question the lack of enough racing within the film. When you question where the blood, gore, gratuitous violence, and fast cars are, at 20 minutes into the film, you know there is a problem. While plot should matter to an extent in all film, the hyper-masculine action genre comes with an assumed contract between producer and the audience member: lots of violence, ridiculous weaponry, fast cars that can defy gravity and fuel requirements, fast editing, intense soundtracks, and attractive men and women.
The somewhat anomaly to this subgenre is Guy Ritchie's "Rocknrolla." It definitely fills the required conventions with gangster-like activities, weapons, cars, violence, foul language, and the attractive male twisted hero with a ridiculously unbelievable name, One Two (Gerard Butler
). What sets it apart is the positive representation of a gay male character and a stronger female role, Stella (Thandie Newton
). These facts are more than likely tied to the fact that "Rocknrolla" was unnecessarily panned by critics.
Moving away from the Statham/Ritchie end, there lies the sleeper hyper-masculine road narrative franchise that is "Fast and Furious." Most fans of this series, author included, like to think of it as a trilogy, striking the abomination that was Tokyo Drift
from memory as Terminator
fans do with Terminator 3
. What makes the three films successful, most notably the recent record box office numbers accumulated by the release of "Fast and Furious," is the devotion to equal amounts of character development and unadulterated fun. Viewers cannot get enough of nitrous and the gorgeous imported cars with illegal modifications. It is difficult to leave the theater and not try to push your Honda to illegal speeds or race the 70-year-old man in the 1981 Cadillac at your first post-"Fast and Furious" stoplight. This franchise, and the aforementioned hyper-masculine action films are not meant to bring in Academy Award nominations, and this fact sometimes confuses film critics. The point of these films, and why they are enjoyable for men and women, is their hyperbolic, fantastical nature. They are not meant to be relatable. They are created so we, the viewer, can live through these experiences too, without getting arrested for grand theft auto or illegal use of firearms.
If you have not had the chance to see any of the above films they come highly recommended, especially for women who might never have given them a chance.

U.S. equities traded in a wide range on Wednesday after reaching all-time highs as tech stocks declined. The market's high valuation also made some investors nervous.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed 41.31 points higher at 26,252.12, managing intraday and closing records. The 30-stock index rose as much as 182 points and briefly fell 104 points.
The finished just below the flatline at 2,837.54 and fell as much as half a percent. The broad index had risen as much as 0.5 percent. Tech stocks declined 0.9 percent.
The Nasdaq composite dropped 0.6 percent to 7,415.06.
Tech stocks were led lower by Apple, which fell 1.6 percent after Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi predicted iPhone sales growth could be weak this spring. Shares of Facebook, Amazon and Alphabet also traded lower.
Equities have kicked off 2018 with strong gains. The major indexes are up at least 6 percent year to date as strong earnings and a lower corporate tax rate help maintain optimism in the economy.
But Jeff Kilburg, CEO of KKM Financial, said "the air is getting pretty thin up here," adding: "This has truly been an extraordinary rally."
Worries about further U.S. protectionist policies also gave investors jitters. Earlier on Wednesday, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross suggested the U.S. was ready to enter a trade war.
"In general, it's starting to feel like you have four things. You have tariffs placed on solar panels and washing machines. You have the Treasury Secretary touting a weaker dollar," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley FBR.
"You have Wilbur Ross talking about how trade wars are normal and the U.S. is willing to fight to the them, and you have NAFTA negotiations going on in real time." Hogan said. "That's enough for the markets to pause."
The major indexes hit all-time highs earlier in the session as investors cheered better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
Abbott Laboratories, United Technologies, Baker Hughes and NBCUniversal-parent Comcast all reported earnings and revenue that beat analyst expectations.
"We've got a pretty good earnings season under way," said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. "It's early but the percentage of beats we've seen thus far is pretty good."
Of the S&P 500 companies that had reported as of Tuesday morning, 77 percent have beaten earnings estimates, while 80 percent have topped revenue expectations, according to FactSet.
Investors also paid attention to the U.S. dollar, which hit fresh 2014 lows on Wednesday. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback's performance against six major currencies, fell 0.9 percent to 89.50 on Wednesday.
Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial, said the lower dollar "has commodity prices going through the roof."
Crude futures rose 1.8 percent on Wednesday, hitting their highest level since December 2014. Gold futures, meanwhile, climbed $19.60 to settle at $1,356.30 per ounce.
Elsewhere, airline stocks fell broadly after United Continental's growth plans raised concern it could drive down fares.
Shares of United Continental pulled back 11.4 percent, the biggest decliner in the S&P 500. American Airlines declined 6 percent, while Delta Air Lines fell 5.2 percent and Southwest Airlines dropped 4.7 percent.

Dance academy for disadvantaged youth grows in leaps and bounds
Indoni Dance Academy co-founder Sbonakaliso Ndaba is using dance to uplift local and disadvantaged youth.
The KwaZulu-Natal-born dancer co-founded Phenduka Dance Theatre in Durban and is now making a difference in the lives of young Cape Town dance enthusiasts.
She trained at JazzArt, then learned to choreographed dance before developing her own African contemporary technique.
The award-winning dancer says she had to cut short her dance career in Johannesburg to return to Cape Town to give back to the community.
In 2014, the dance company started with five students and now the full-time training academy has a cohort of 27 students.

In 2016, Ndaba was the winner of the Western Cape Cultural Affairs Award for ‘Best Contribution to Performing Arts: Dance’ and in 2017 for ‘Outstanding Achievement of Youth in Arts and Culture’.
She described where here love of dance began and her involvement in community outreach to uplift the youth through dance.

Nodley Wright, Sunday Gleaner Writer
Former champions and title favourites Waterhouse will be aiming to keep their winning run going when they host the revamped Cavalier at Drewsland this afternoon at 5:00, in one of six games on today in the Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL).
Like Waterhouse, Cavalier started their season with a win - over Portmore United - but the home team should be favoured to get the win. Not only do they have on their roster one of the best local-based goalkeepers in Richard McCallum, but they also have players eager to prove their worth.
One such is Romario Campbell, the former Harbour View midfielder who started his season with a goal and an overall performance that impressed national coach Winfried Schäfer.
The left-footed player followed up that performance with a hat-trick in Waterhouse's 7-1 win over Port Morant on Thursday in Flow Champions Cup action. Spurred by the encouragement given to him by Schäfer, Campbell's confidence could be sky high and this could make him a thorn in the side of Cavalier. Of course there is still Jermaine Anderson, the leading scorer in the competition for the past two seasons and the footballer getting the most love at this time from local fans.
Cavalier battled hard last season and showed that they belonged in the top flight. With their new acquisitions they have shown even more ambition and will want to improve their standing over last season and a victory is not beyond them.
Goalkeeper Gariece McPherson was one of their top players last season and he looks in even better shape this season and will not fear Campbell, Anderson and company. One of their new boys, Severo Murphy, showed his class last week against Portmore and he will be looking for a repeat performance.
Defending champions and last season's most consistent team, Harbour View, find themselves in an unfamiliar position looking up from the foot of the table instead of looking down. For them to put behind last week's 0-2 blanking suffered to Sporting Central, they will have to get the better of Boys' Town away from home.
Boys' Town find themselves in a similar position to Harbour View in that they are seeking to overturn an unfavourable result from last week. What is even worse for Boys' Town is that they were again beaten in midweek 4-2 by Tivoli Gardens. A third loss could lead to a crisis in confidence. Harbour View, on the other hand, took care of the promoted Rivoli in the Flow Cup.
Tivoli Gardens have been making bold statements on and off the field. Their opening game was a 1-0 win over Montego Bay United and they followed that up with an emphatic 4-2 over neighbours Boys' Town. Based on the way they went about their business, Rivoli will find that the difference between the two teams is more than the letters which starts their name.
6 p.m.: Arnett Gardens vs August Town at Anthony Spaulding Complex.
3:30 p.m.: Boys' Town vs Harbour View at Collie Smith Complex.
6:30 p.m.: Montego Bay United vs Sporting Central at Catherine Hall Complex.
7 p.m.: Portmore United vs Humble Lion at Ferdie Neita Park.
3:30 p.m.: Rivoli United vs Tivoli Gardens at Prison Oval.
5 p.m.: Waterhouse vs Cavalier at Drewsland Stadium.
