The Clue in the Diary – Nancy Drew Mystery No. 7
It’s been a very long time since I last read a Nancy Drew story – I would have been around 9 years old and borrowing them from my local library, along with many, many other books which I devoured, particularly in the school holidays.
I have always loved books with a passion and, although I didn’t have very many, the books that I owned as a child are the ones that were re-read and they are the stories that stayed with me most vividly. I remember borrowing the Nancy Drew stories – I even have a visual memory of the carousel in Daventry Library that housed them – but I can’t remember anything more about them… that is, until now.
The Clue in the Diary is the 7th Nancy Drew mystery and features Nancy with her friends, the cousins George and Bess, and her new friend Ned Nickerson. Together the three girls, with a bit of help from Ned, are trying to solve the mystery of a diary and signet ring found at the site of a burning house which the girls saw on their way home one night. They stopped at the scene to see if they could help. Nancy saw a man fleeing the scene into the undergrowth and the diary and signet ring were found soon afterwards…
I thoroughly enjoyed this quite undemanding but entertaining read. I’ve recently re-read a number of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five stories. This is very similar but (and I never thought I’d say this) not quite as well written or as well plotted as a Famous Five. Still, the characterisation is very good, the novel well-plotted and I enjoyed it very much. Although Nancy drives a car and has had boy friends, this is perfectly suitable for 8 and up and is equally suitable for teenagers and beyond looking for a lightweight read.

Treatment of (S)-4,5-isopropylidenedioxypentanonitrile 17 with ethyl formate and sodium hydride gave a hydroxymethylene derivative which interacted with aminoacetonitrile to give 3-cyano-methyleneamino-2-[(S)- isopropylidenedioxypropyl]acrylonitrile 19; this was elaborated via 3-amino-2-cyano-4-[(S)-2,3-isopropylidenedioxypropyl]pyrrole 22 into 4-amino-7-[(S)-2,3-dihydroxy-propyl]pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine 9. Treatment of the hydroxymethylene derivative of 17 with methanesulphonyl chloride, followed by acetylthioacetonitrile and sodium carbonate in ethanol gave 3-amino-2-cyano-4- [(S)-2,3-isopropylidenedioxypropyl]thiophene 25, convertible in two steps into 4-amino-7-[(S)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl]thieno[3,2-c/]pyrimidine 10. Similar chemistry was employed for the conversion of 5,6- isopropylidenedioxyhexanonitrile 30 into the higher homologues 4-amino-7-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)pyrrolo- and thieno-[3,2-rf]pyrimidine 11 and 12, and for the preparation of 4-amino-7-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylbutyl)pyrrolo[3, 2-c/]pyrimidine 13 from 6-benzyloxy-5-benzyloxymethylhexanonitrile 41. The hydroxyalkylated products 9-13 are C-nucleoside analogues of known antiviral agents, but did not display antiviral activity.

Latest Amphipoda Stories
A new study led by a Canadian marine zoologist reviews the world list of specialist driftwood talitrids, which so far comprises a total of 7 representatives, including two newly described species.
Amphipods typically found in the Atlantic Ocean are now reproducing in the Arctic waters west of Spitsbergen, Norway.
During an expedition to the Kermadec Trench north of New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean researchers discovered a ‘supergiant’ amphipod measuring 10 times the size of typical amphipods.
Scientists trying to catch a glimpse of what the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica looks like got the surprise of a lifetime when they found a shrimp-like amphipod and a jellyfish thriving in the subfreezing dark water.
Australian researchers said hundreds of new coral and crustacean species have been discovered on the Great Barrier and Ningaloo reefs. The Census of Marine Life was a four-year effort led by the Australian Institute of Marine Science to record the diversity of life in and around the renowned reefs.
The Kauai Cave Wolf Spider (Adelocosa anops) is a species of spider that exists only in a few caves in a six square mile lava flow in the Koloa-Poipu region of Kauai, Hawaii. Only six populations are known to exist. It is locally known as the "Blind Wolf Spider". This spider is very rare and since its discovery in 1971, only about 30 specimens have been recorded. This species is totally blind, and has evolved to have no eyes. The adult is about 0.78 inches long and is reddish-brown. It is...

Here it is! No Match for Dominar 400 at its price!
Bajaj Dominar 400 is more like a hope for those who wish to enter the big bike segment and its clean INR 1.36 lakh price makes it easy for many, who were considering a 150 cc before, to enter the league. The introduction of LED lights, powerful 373 cc engine and ABS at such point is the best thing Bajaj Auto could have done in last few years. Dominar 400 has the best instrument console that Bajaj can offer currently and it even claims a better efficiency than the same engine which powers the KTM models. The 35 Nm of torque at just 6500 rpm means it it nothing less than a Royal Enfield and can pull anything with the same ease. The higher power means it can claim speed around 150 kmph while company just claims 148 kmph. It weighs 182 kg, which seems to much for a Bajaj bike as Pulsar have never been more than the 165 kg RS200. All in all, it can easily beat anything around its price segment
Best Features: Stuffed seats, LED lights, excessive torque
Pros: Price, engine, LED lights, stance
Cons: Excessive black parts, a bit of rear design, commuter style front view, high weight

DARZ GmbH, a full-service IT provider with its own high-security data center, is directly announcing cooperation in the form of partnerships with 10 IT system houses in Germany and for the first time in Austria. This underscores the company’s strategy of acquiring and handling a large portion of its business indirectly in 2017 and beyond. The system houses will benefit from access to modular IT services, which can be scaled flexibly in terms of quantity, quality and time. Through access to infrastructure, technology, know-how and further partnerships in the field of consulting and science, they have numerous new options for success in the IT services business over the long term. In this context, system houses are not only able to shape their own digital change, but also actively support their customers.
First successes point the way
Last year, the first strategic partnerships with leading systems houses such as SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH and the Value Added Distributor (VAD) TIM AG had already begun to be implemented. This led to successful IT projects such as the West German Center for Applied Telemedicine and to the fact that DARZ was the first provider of IT services to be classified as a “manufacturer” by a VAD. It is now DARZ’s declared goal to pursue this path and enable partners with the support of technical know-how, training and marketing measures, to not only better deal with hardware, but also to successfully market and implement complex IT services.
The following companies are now DARZ partners:
- Erik Sterck GmbH (eriksterck.de)
- HWI IT GmbH (hwi-it.de)
- Insight Technology Solutions GmbH (http://www.insight.de)
- IT Competence Group SE (itcg.de)
- IT-FORMATION GmbH (it-formation.de)
- NTS Netzwerk Telekom Service AG (Deutschland und Österreich), (nts.eu)
- QOSIT Informationstechnik GmbH (quosit.com)
- SanData EDV-Systemhaus GmbH (sandata.net)
- SYSTAVO GmbH & Co. KG (systavo.de)
“Working with partners is not only very useful for DARZ, but part of our innovative DNA. We see ourselves as an innovation platform on which our customers and partners can not only optimize processes, but, with our supportive infrastructure, technology, know-how and other partnerships, can achieve IT-driven innovations that change their entire value-added model. This is especially true for system houses that are still faced with the challenge of integrating IT services into their portfolio meaningfully and efficiently,” explains Lars Göbel, Director of Strategy & Innovation at DARZ GmbH.

The Czech state last year helped to repair over 17,000 flats in the modern apartment blocs known colloquially as "panelaky", about 3,700 flats more than in 2003. The general director of the Union of developers and builders said that to keep the apartment blocs in ideal condition, about 100,000 flats per year would need to be repaired. But cooperatives often fail to agree on scheduling repairs, and private owners are reluctant to pay for maintenance on building occupied primarily by people paying regulated rent.
President Vaclav Klaus was due to meet on Sunday evening with the embattled Prime Minister, Stanislav Gross, who is under pressure to resign his post from both opposition leaders and a junior party in the ruling government coalition. Mr Klaus, on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, told journalists on Sunday before his return to Prague that the two would discuss the latest developments in what he called the coalition crisis.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Stanislav Gross, who is also chairman of the Social Democratic Party, has said that deputy party chairman Zdenek Skromach will take formal control of the party for a few days, to allow its members to consider their position on the matter. So far the Social Democrats have supported Mr Gross. Even so, the prime minister said he feared the crisis could result in the collapse of the government. The top three leaders of all three coalition parties, the so-called "K9", are due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the situation further.
Fewer police were accused of committing criminal acts in 2004 than in the previous year. Men and women in police uniform committed roughly 600 crimes in 2003 and 325 last year, according to newly released information from the Interior Ministry. Observers credit a change in the law that would strip sacked police workers of their pensions. Previously, even police who had committed criminal acts were entitled to benefits unless a separate court action was taken to discontinue them. The most common crime remains the abuse of authority.
The Christian Democrats, a junior party in the ruling coalition government, have returned to their earlier position demanding that Prime Minister Stanislav Gross step down for failing to make fully clear how he financed his luxury Prague flat and how his wife secured business loans to buy other property. After a meeting on Saturday morning between with the Christian Democrats leader, Miroslav Kalousek, the prime minister said Kalousek's party should leave the Cabinet if its members did not trust him. Mr Gross also threatened to ask President Vaclav Klaus to sack the three Christian Democrat ministers. For his part, Mr Kalousek told the media that his party's ministers have no intention of quitting their posts. He said it was the "prime minister's scandals" that had led people to question the government's trustworthiness. Mr Kalousek said that the future of this government is danger if Mr Gross remains at its helm.
In related news, the State Attorney's Office will hand over two criminal complaints linked to the funding of Mr Gross' luxury flat over to police investigators. One complaint, filed by an unnamed resident of Teplice, in north Bohemia, accuses Mr Gross, his wife, and his uncle, of accepting bribes and of tax evasion; the latter charge is the sole charge of a second complaint, filed by a Prague resident. A third citizen filed a complaint in Beroun, central Bohemia, charging the prime minister with abuse of office. A state district attorney has said the complaints are "fairly vague" and appear to be based solely on media reports.
The leadership of the three governing coalition parties are due to meet on Saturday morning in an effort to hammer out a new working relationship. In recent weeks, Prime Minister Stanislav Gross, who is also the chairman of the Social Democratic Party, has come under pressure from the opposition to resign over questions of how he financed the purchase of a luxury Prague flat. But Miroslav Kalousek, the leader of the Christian Democrats, a junior coalition party, had also called for Mr Gross to step down, and there was widespread speculation that the government could collapse.
Meanwhile, the State Attorney's Office will hand over two criminal complaints linked to the funding of Prime Minister Gross' flat over to police investigators. One complaint, filed by an unnamed resident of Teplice, in north Bohemia, accuses Mr Gross, his wife, and his uncle, of accepting bribes and tax evasion; the latter charge is also the subject of the second complaint, filed by a Prague resident. A third citizen filed a complaint in Beroun, central Bohemia, charging the prime minister with abuse of office. A state district attorney has said the complaints are "fairly vague" and appear to be based on media reports.
The Czech Foreign Ministry plans to open an embassy in Moldova. The nearest embassy is currently in Romania and the Czech Republic hopes diplomatic representation in Moldova itself could help bring the country, which is currently led by a Communist government, closer to EU states. Moldova is one of eight countries in which the Czech Republic intends to open an embassy in the near future, despite being forced to close down others due to a lack of finances.
On Thursday afternoon, underwent further grilling in the lower house, in a 45 minute question and answer session called by the opposition centre-right Civic Democrats. Mr Gross also had to answer for his wife's business activities and stressed neither he nor his wife were ever involved in any illegal business. He added that he would raise the mortgage on his flat.

Short General Description of Zestril
Zestril is a medication belonging to the class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Its generic name is Lisinopril, and it is commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and improve survival after a heart attack. Zestril works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the strain on the heart.
This medication is available in tablet form for oral administration and is typically taken once a day. The dosage of Zestril will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment, with healthcare providers often starting patients on a low dose and gradually increasing it.
In addition to its primary use in treating hypertension, Zestril may also be prescribed for diabetic nephropathy, a type of kidney disease that affects some people with diabetes, to help protect the kidneys from further damage caused by high blood pressure.
Blood Pressure Drug Classes and the Importance of Zestril
When it comes to managing high blood pressure, there are several drug classes available to help patients maintain their health. Two common classes of blood pressure medications are ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. Zestril, also known as lisinopril, falls into the ACE inhibitor category.
- ACE inhibitors work by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.
- Zestril inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), leading to decreased production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure.
- By blocking ACE, Zestril helps blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing the workload on the heart and improving overall cardiovascular function.
Calcium Channel Blockers:
- Calcium channel blockers, such as Norvasc (amlodipine), work by blocking calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel cells, which causes the blood vessels to relax and widen.
- When used in combination with Zestril, calcium channel blockers can further reduce blood pressure and help manage hypertension more effectively.
It is essential for individuals with high blood pressure to understand the significance of these drug classes, as they play a crucial role in controlling hypertension and preventing related complications.
Reasons for the High Demand for Zestril Today
There are several key factors contributing to the high demand for Zestril, a popular blood pressure medication, in the current healthcare landscape:
- Effectiveness: Zestril, also known as Lisinopril, is part of the ACE inhibitor class of drugs, which have been clinically proven to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
- Wide Availability: Zestril is widely available both in traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacies and online pharmacies like CanadianNeighborPharmacyRx, making it easily accessible to patients in need of blood pressure management.
- Positive Patient Experiences: Many individuals who have used Zestril praise its efficacy in controlling blood pressure, often leading to improved overall health and wellbeing.
- Affordability: Zestril is often prescribed as a cost-effective treatment option for hypertension, making it a popular choice for patients seeking affordable yet reliable medication.
According to a recent survey conducted by the American Heart Association, 8 out of 10 patients reported positive outcomes after using Zestril as part of their blood pressure management regimen. In addition, statistical data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the demand for Zestril has been steadily increasing over the past decade, with over 5 million prescriptions filled annually in the United States alone.

At CanadianNeighborPharmacyRx, we strive to provide a comprehensive selection of blood pressure medications to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our platform offers competitive prices and convenient online ordering options, making it easy for individuals to access the medications they need to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
Combining Norvasc with Zestril for Enhanced Blood Pressure Management
Combining different medications can often lead to better outcomes in managing various health conditions. In the case of high blood pressure, a common approach is to combine medications from different drug classes to achieve optimal control. One such combination that is frequently used is Norvasc and Zestril.
Understanding Norvasc and Zestril
Norvasc is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, allowing for easier blood flow and lowering blood pressure. On the other hand, Zestril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that works by dilating blood vessels and reducing the body’s production of angiotensin, a substance that narrows blood vessels.
When these two medications are used together, they can complement each other’s effects and provide more comprehensive blood pressure control. Norvasc helps to relax and widen blood vessels, while Zestril works on reducing the body’s overall resistance to blood flow, resulting in lower blood pressure levels.
Advantages of Combining Norvasc and Zestril
There are several benefits to combining Norvasc and Zestril for blood pressure management:
- Enhanced Blood Pressure Control: By targeting different mechanisms involved in regulating blood pressure, the combination of Norvasc and Zestril can lead to more effective control of hypertension.
- Reduced Side Effects: Since each medication works through distinct pathways, combining Norvasc and Zestril can help minimize the risk of side effects associated with high doses of a single medication.
- Lower Dosages: Combining two medications with complementary actions may allow for lower individual dosages of each drug, reducing the overall medication burden on the body.
Cautions and Considerations
While combining Norvasc and Zestril can be beneficial for many individuals with high blood pressure, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting this combination therapy. Your doctor can assess your specific health needs and adjust the dosages of each medication accordingly to ensure safety and efficacy.
Additionally, it is crucial to monitor your blood pressure regularly while on this combination therapy to ensure that your levels are within the desired range.
By combining Norvasc with Zestril, individuals can take advantage of the synergistic effects of these two medications to achieve better blood pressure management and improve their overall cardiovascular health.
Zestril Dosages, Side Effects, and Ordering Options
Zestril, also known by its generic name Lisinopril, is available in various dosages to suit individual patient needs. The typical starting dose for treating high blood pressure is 10 mg once a day. However, the dosage may vary depending on the patient’s condition and response to the medication. The dosage can be adjusted by a healthcare provider after monitoring the patient’s blood pressure.
For heart failure, the initial dose of Zestril is usually 5 mg once a day, which can be increased gradually to a maximum of 40 mg per day. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare professional before making any changes.
Zestril Side Effects

After cooking for awhile, it’s rare to run across an ingredient that I’ve never heard of or experienced. The Atlantic Wreckfish was such an ingredient this summer. After working with it for the first time this season, it has quickly become one of my favorite fish.
Wreckfish can reach seven feet long and up to two hundred pounds living at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. They hang out in caves and shipwrecks, hence the name. The only place where it is legal to farm Wreckfish is a spot off Charleston called “The Bump”, a massive drop-off in the ocean floor that kicks the Gulf Stream out into the Atlantic.
The wreckfish diet consists primarily on shellfish and bottom-feeding fish. It’s said that they eat so much shellfish, the closest a person with a shellfish allergy will come to enjoying lobster is to have Wreckfish.
Some reasons this fish has been relatively obscure: The fact that it is exclusively caught in the Southeast, it’s price hovers around sixteen dollars a pound (making it more expensive than Prime Certified Angus Beef) and the fishing and selling of the product is extremely regulated.
For this dish I’ve got a “surf and turf” theme going. The flavor and texture of the Wreckfish is delicate; after searing it, it is finished in the oven then brushed with whole butter, it gets a squirt of fresh lemon juice, then a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. It is stacked up against the deep, rich flavor of a smoked buffalo and barley ragout, which also serves double-duty as the sauce. The vegetables are fresh and stellar…fresh corn, sungold tomatoes, roasted cippolini onion, piquillo pepper, and edamame beans with sliced chive.
The dish is garnished with red wine reduction and local microgreens from Lucky Leaf Garden. For more on Lucky Leaf, check this out.

Tots to Thai: Feve Owners to Open New Restaurant
TEA CRUNK // SEPTEMBER 27, 2019
When I was still deciding on which school I wanted to go to, one of the first things I did was map the nearest Thai restaurant to each college I was considering. And, though I landed at Oberlin, that choice came at the cost of convenient Thai food, something I value so dearly. After a mere three sad, Thai-less weeks, it seems my prayers have been answered: a Thai restaurant is coming to Oberlin.
In fact, it’s the owners of the beloved Feve, Matt and Jason Adelman, who have decided to branch out and open a Thai restaurant called ThiNi Thai right in downtown Oberlin. Directly behind the Feve, the building that houses The Oberlin Market and is currently surrounded by plywood and construction equipment will soon serve noodles and sticky rice. Planned to be small, casual, conveniently located, and - perhaps most importantly - affordable, the restaurant will primarily be for takeout, along with a small seating area and a full bar.
Feve Owner, Jason Adelman, and Kitchen Manager, Tim Langdon, have visited Thailand together on multiple occasions. In fact, they are currently in Thailand to bring back the restaurant’s chef. On one of those trips, the two happened to meet a local named Aon, who showed them around and taught them the local cuisine. For over a year, the two have been attempting to get Aon a visa to fulfill his dream of starting a restaurant in America - and lucky for us, it happens to be right here in Oberlin, Ohio.
“It’s gonna be super authentic. It’s [Aon’s] recipes and his family’s recipes that he’s been cooking for years,” Feve manager Tony Tenorio explains. He adds that ingredients will even be shipped from Thailand. “Everything is authentic Thai,” Tenorio emphasises, clearly excited about the prospect.
When asked if the restaurant will serve typical Thai food, Tenori responds “I don’t think it’s a lot of things we’ve seen around here.” He expects the food to primarily consist of dishes specific to the region of Thailand in which Aon grew up, localized to his expertise. Tenori anticipates that lunch will be popular and reasons that the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner at least, though the official hours are not yet available. Tenori also reminds those of us awaiting the restaurant’s opening that “All this stuff is speculative of course, because once we start getting it open things can change.”
Many Oberlin students are eager for the arrival of the new restaurant. A group of fourth years agreed that they were all “so excited” to have a Thai restaurant in Oberlin. They reflected that there has been some change in Oberlin’s food scene over their four years here, including India Garden closing. When asked about the prospect of a new Thai restaurant in town, students had reactions ranging from ecstatic to tentative.
First year Kira Mesch recalls that she recently saw a friend post about getting Thai food on social media and thought to herself “‘I wish I could have Thai food right now’ - and now I can!”
When approached in Mudd, passersby made remarks such as “Fuckin’ awesome,” “It would be cool,” and “Sounds delicious.”
Other students are less enthusiastic, but not opposed to the idea, like a fourth year who stated “I mean, I guess I hope it’s good.”
Above the restaurant doors, there will be a lit-up arrow directing the way in, along with a controversial figure spinning above the arrow - a happy chicken. An Oberlin citizen passing by criticized the idea schematic. Despite not being a vegetarian, he found it,
“Kind of offensive that they have this caricature of this bird they’re torturing and killing, y’know smiling . . . so disgusting.”
Another man commented that “The novelty of the sign is gonna wear off real fast” for those living nearby.
To taste the food for yourself and decide if the sign warrants controversy, keep an eye out for ThiNi Thai - coming to the college town near you by the end of October.*

Omaha School of Music and Dance is located at 14505 California Street Omaha Ne, 68154. We offer a variety of music and dance classes at different times to allow for a time for everyone. One of the dance classes that is very popular is our Acro dance classes. Acro dance is a type of dance that combines classical dance techniques with acrobatic elements. It helps establish athletic ability with the leaps and turns with gymnastic quality moves. As of right now, we offer preschool and kinder acro classes but hope to expand for more ages as we grow and interest grows within the families we have.
This type of dance uses strength and establishes flexibility in order for our dancers to perform gymnastic-based tricks. They learn balance and coordination as well. By allowing your child to take an acro class so young, you help them to develop their foundational strengths that can build muscles and so they can exert their strength to lift their bodies.
The students usually wear leotards and tight-fitting clothing when performing acro dance just so the teachers are able to observe them better and they are able to perform the stunts and dance moves with nothing getting in their way.
Our teachers are highly trained in stretching out the young student’s bodies to avoid injury and allow a cool-down time for the students to recover from their workout.
There is also an opportunity for the students to participate in an end-of-the-year recital usually held during the summer. They are taught a routine and will perform it in front of friends and family in a new dance costume. At the end of the recital, the student is awarded a medal/trophy to show how hard they have worked all year.
Give us a call today at (402) 515-9639 to figure out how you can join today!

Who wrote this?
In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies. To them this amusement compensates the small difference between the taxes which they pay on account of the war, and those which they had been accustomed to pay in time of peace. They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory, from a longer continuance of the war.
In my last post, I argued incidentally:
If oil were a serious consideration, the US would make an effort to keep the region stable. The true concerns are clearly of a different nature: distraction from domestic problems, boosting (presidential) popularity by appeal to jingoism, keeping the industrial-military complex in business.
In his excellent book The Great Deformation, David Stockman offers a fascinating background history of what I referred to as "keeping the industrial-military complex busy."
At the heart of the Reagan defense buildup was a great double shuffle. The war drums were sounding a strategic nuclear threat that virtually imperiled American civilization. Yet the money was actually being allocated to tanks, amphibious landing craft, close air support helicopters, and a vast conventional armada of ships and planes.
These weapons were of little use in the existing nuclear standoff, but were well suited to imperialistic missions of invasion and occupation. Ironically, therefore, the Reagan defense buildup was justified by an Evil Empire that was rapidly fading but was eventually used to launch elective wars against an Axis of Evil which didn’t even exist.

The city of Shoreview was on the right track when it took the unusual step of paving a residential neighborhood with pervious concrete to control stormwater and pollutant runoff into a nearby lake, according to a recently released seven-year performance study.
Typically used for parking lots and sidewalks, porous paving material allows stormwater to filter through the pavement and an aggregate base into the soil rather than run off the pavement and drain into storm sewers.
Shoreview bucked convention by using pervious concrete in a traffic application — low-volume, low-speed roads in the Woodbridge neighborhood near Lake Owasso. The city thought pervious pavement could help meet community sustainability goals and federal clean water regulations by reducing pollutants in waterways and groundwater while keeping water safely off driving surfaces.
Traditionally, pervious concrete hadn’t been used for roadways because engineers didn’t consider it strong enough for traffic (this and other projects have now demonstrated its application for low-volume roads like neighborhood streets). The impact on ride quality, tire-pavement noise and filtration was also not well understood, particularly in cold climates with freeze-thaw cycles like those in Minnesota.
Pervious concrete also presented a maintenance challenge: Organic debris, sand and other grit can clog the pavement’s pores. Periodic vacuuming is required to maintain the intended flow of water through the pavement. Concerned about how best to maintain the pavement and interested in tire-pavement noise levels and filtering performance, Shoreview, MnDOT and the Local Road Research Board monitored the Woodbridge roadways for seven years.
Installation and Evaluation
Shoreview replaced 9,000 square feet of asphalt roads with 7 inches of pervious concrete over 18 inches of coarse aggregate base; near the lake, highly drainable sand served as the base. About twice each year for five years, researchers tested sound absorption, water infiltration and ride quality one day after the pavement had been vacuumed. In 2015, they repeated these tests without vacuuming the day before.
The pervious pavement performed well in filtering stormwater. By 2012, at least 1.3 acre-feet of water had filtered through the pavement and ground, and by 2015, nearly 2 acre-feet of water had filtered through the surface—all of which would otherwise have run directly into Lake Owasso.
Water infiltration and sound absorption rates were higher than traditional concrete, although rates declined over time because organic material continued to clog pavement pores despite vacuuming twice a year.
Initial construction of the pervious concrete streets and stormwater filtration system was slightly more costly than construction of comparable asphalt pavement with culverts. Life cycle costs, including projections of maintenance costs over 15 years however showed somewhat lower costs for pervious pavement. While the pervious concrete pavement may require diamond grinding after 10 years, monthly vacuuming could make this unnecessary. Asphalt pavement would typically require a mill-and-overlay at year 15, and culverts would require periodic cleaning.
Additional benefits of the pervious pavement system that were not included in cost calculations—but that were clearly significant—included complying with the federal Clean Water Act, recharging groundwater and avoiding direct pollution of Lake Owasso. Shoreview’s investment in pervious concrete has paid off economically and environmentally.

A Social Divide in the City I
Twitter for Financial Reporting Performance Index
At a time when investors say they find digital communications more insightful and more motivating than traditional communications, such as press releases, our analysis shows that only a small number of the FTSE 100 are effectively using Twitter to support their financial communications.
2013 brought into focus just how social media can move markets and impact on reputation and it comes as no surprise to find 90 percent of FTSE 100 companies are active in some capacity on Twitter, the principal social media channel for news and corporate communications. Examine the UK's largest quoted companies more closely, however, and you’ll find new patterns emerging around Twitter as a financial communications tool.
Indeed the leaders in this area have gone further by using LinkedIn, YouTube and a variety of creative and rich media to bring their corporate stories to life. Meanwhile other companies are losing share of voice and their communications remain analogue in a digital world.
More than half (52 percent) of FTSE 100 companies used Twitter to share their latest, half, or full year results in 2013, amounting to 431 results related tweets overall, some supporting a positive narrative and others helping to defend below expected numbers.
Just as 40 percent of global institutional investors seek information from third-party influencers via social media and 13 percent of investors look for information directly from companies on social channels, half of all companies in the FTSE 100 are not using Twitter as a results communication tool. This represents a lost opportunity to exert influence on key stakeholders and maintain control at critical times.
This research paper was completed by FTI Consulting in December 2013, and covers an analysis of tweets published by companies in the FTSE 100 on the day of their most recent annual or half-year results announcement. The research aims to balance the requirement for comparing like with like and the need for up-to-date data. In light of this, the authors acknowledge that comparing one company’s full-year results announcement with another company’s half-year results announcement is not a perfect comparison, but it does mean that no data is more than six months old.
The data covers the most recent set of annual or half-year results for each company prior to Dec. 23, 2013. The companies included were the constituents of the FTSE 100 index prior to this date (i.e., the research includes Croda and Vedanta, and excludes Ashtead and Royal Mail). Only tweets on the day of the results announcement are included in the quantitative data, though we do note elsewhere in this research paper that some companies tweet about their results in the days preceding and following the actual announcement. Similarly, only tweets directly related to the results announcement have been included.
The tweets analyzed as part of this research are those by official company Twitter accounts. For the companies that published one or more results-related tweets we have included the Twitter handle in the table on pages 10–11. The research is based solely on publicly available online information and not on any interviews with any of the FTSE 100 companies.


(PACIFIC CITY, Ore.) — Authorities are searching for a group of people recently caught on video appearing to topple over an iconic natural sandstone formation along Oregon's northwest coast.
The rock feature, known as "The Duckbill," was first found in shambles last week in Pacific City, Oregon, according to Oregon Parks and Recreation's associate director Chris Havel. The formation had been a part of Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area.
State officials initially believed the rock had fallen naturally, but they later became aware of a video online apparently showing a group of people pushing down the formation, Havel told ABC News Tuesday.
The video was filmed by a man named David Kalas, ABC Portland affiliate KATU-TV reported.
Kalas had been helping a friend film the coast with a drone when he said he noticed a group of people trying to push the rock pedestal down, he told KATU.
At first, Kalas laughed to himself because he "thought there was no way that they could knock it down," but then he saw the formation start "wobbling," he said.
Kalas managed to get his phone out just in time to catch the moment the group apparently toppled over the sandstone feature.
"I asked them, you know, why they knocked the rock down, and the reply I got was their buddy broke their leg earlier because of that rock," Kalas told KATU. "They basically told me themselves that it was a safety hazard and that they did the world or Oregon a favor."
The group also stood on top of the crumbled sandstone and snapped a few pictures before leaving, Kalas said. He added that he did not know who the alleged vandals were or catch their names, but he hopes his video will help catch them.
"I just want them to learn a lesson," he said, "because if they do this here, they will probably do it elsewhere."
ABC News was unable to reach Kalas.
Director Havel said Oregon State Parks, along with State Police, has now launched an investigation into the video.
He explained that the sandstone in the area has been around for over 18 million years and that the formation was possibly "thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands years old."
"I also think the bigger message here is that everyone who has ever crossed the safety fence and walked on the rock played a role in advancing the demise of this natural feature," Havel said.
"We hope that this story will remind everyone to be more mindful when visiting any park, not just this one."

Gaza, Alray - Israel exploits the need of patients to travel and uses the crossings as a trap, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights reported.
It noted that the Israeli military forces escalated its measures against Palestinian patients and their escorts who travel through Erez Crossing.
According to the monitoring and documenting unit at Al Mezan, Israeli Military forces have arrested more than 13 Palestinians at Erez crossing since the beginning of 2013. Of the 13, two were patients and four were patient escorts. There were also two businessmen among the arrested.
The Israeli authorities continue to exploit the Palestinian need to travel, using crossings as snares. The crossing allows for little dignity in the process of traveling to Israel which compounds the already very present threat of arrest and pressure to collaborate.
Mohammed Al Bakri, 24, was detained on last Sunday at Erez Crossing on his way to receive medical treatment at St. Joseph Hospital in Jerusalem accompanied with his mother. He was interviewed by Israel Security Agency and ordered his mother to leave.
Al Mezan Center lawyer reported that Israeli court extended his detention to September 16, 2013 and he is held now at Ashkelon prison.
Al Mezan Center for Human Rights strongly condemns and is deeply concerned about the ongoing arrests of medical patients, their escorts in addition to internationals using this crossing. Al Mezan views this as a continuation of Israel’s blackmail policy of Palestinian patients to exploit their suffering and need for treatment in order to turn them into collaborators. This, Al Mezan stresses, constitutes a grave violation of the rules under International Humanitarian Law, namely the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Al Mezan calls on the international community to promptly and effectively intervene in any way in order to stop Israel’s ongoing and systematic violations and ensure safe access to hospitals and medical treatment for Palestinian patients and other residents in the Gaza Strip.

In a moonlit courtyard in Tuscany, on the evening of September 11th, 2001, Sting will host a musical evening for 200 fans and friends. With his long-time band and several guest musicians, Sting will perform songs from his triple-platinum album, Brand New Day as well as some of his most celebrated hits.
In his inimitable style, Sting will reinvent these songs through reconstructed, intimate arrangements. The performance will be recorded for album release on November 20th entitled… on such a night.
Two years of roadwork on stages across the globe in front of over 3 million people have served to shape and sculpt these songs. As Sting and his band refine the new arrangements in the days leading up to the concert, a 5-camera film crew is capturing the process. Adding to the excitement of the event is a Webcast on yahoo.com taking place on the night of the show. The performance will also be archived for the following two weeks and also be available on getmusic.com. Gleaned from the filming during the rehearsal period and show will be a full-length DVD companion to the album; scheduled for release in early December.
Never one to play it safe, Sting is reworking, recasting and refining his best-known songs while, at the same time, connecting directly and immediately with his fans around the world. “It’s a risk,” he acknowledges, “but it’s a risk worth taking.”


Four subway breakdancers beat up a straphanger on a Brooklyn train who objected to making room so they could do their routine, police sources said Thursday.
The dancers, four men in their 20s, asked passengers to make room so they could perform their routine for tips aboard an A train in East New York about 1:20 p.m. Wednesday. The 40-year-old victim objected, sparking an argument, sources said.
The dancers punched the 40-year-old victim several times in the face and fled when the train pulled into the Euclid Ave. station.
It was bound to happen. It’s astounding it took this long. For this may be the first reported incident committed by these perpetually annoying, self-deluded, dubiously talented dumbshits actually attacking someone with the temerity and persistence to stand his rightful ground for the unjustly cost of commuting in the 4 boroughs in the worst fucking transit system in the universe.
The obvious must be stated that these dancers are in their 20’s and are trying to bum dollars and change off of passengers rather than get a real job. Why they thought they were going to get a decent or even equitable amount of money by plying their 80’s dancestyling trade in the poorest area on the subway like Euclid Ave. and East New York instead of tourist heavy stops in midtown and downtown Manhattan is just as mind-boggling stupid.
But there’s something else here that has to be acknowledged. That citizens of this city are at their whit’s end and can’t take it anymore. On both sides here in this incident. The victim, who probably is daily sickened at paying 27.50 a week like most normal people and who was probably tired of seeing these lousy cap flinging and leg flailing morons invading passengers space and jeopardizing their safety and their own. And even these breakdancers, who think they can make better money doing this crap since it’s tax free and without employer supervision. It’s also possible that a lot of them are having difficulty getting an actual job or there are just part-time jobs available, the latter being more likely since a majority of these are service jobs. It still doesn’t excuse these motherfuckers though, because now that they have brutalized some innocent guy for no reason instead of just moving to the next car. And they now have a taste of the old ultraviolence and will do it again, especially since they are still out there and surprisingly there is no video of the mugging. Not even on the odious World Star Hip Hop (good riddance)
The Old Ultraviolence
These groups have been a nuisance for a while. Even though summons and arrests went up it hasn’t stopped Showtime! at all. And it’s because this city is too fucking crowded. And a lot of people are broke. Like those criminals running free on the streets right now, and probably that guy who persisted and kept his dignity. And these incidents are being and will continue to be overlooked because it’s too overpopulated to keep count and catch up to. Because the people who run this city are more concerned with marketing the 5 boroughs like a theme park destination than to keep it functioning properly, than to be concerned with the occasional preventable tussle in a subway car in the middle of the day. Or even various reports of random gruesome crime this winter.
More to come…
Editor’s note: I would show some examples of these talent wasters, and there are lots, but I refuse because it would only encourage and promote them, for being a celebrity is way too easy thanks to social media, made worse with facebook live and the criminally wretched snapchat, and people without talent should not be famous, or president.
And if there was footage of this cowardly beatdown, I would also refuse to post it because it would only encourage and promote them, and it would encourage more stupid people, and this generation has an abundance of them, to engage in similar behavior, which has only enhanced thanks to social media, made worse with facebook live and the cuntbully-generating, no reason to exist snapchat
One thought on “It’s Showtime! Commuter gets assaulted by 4 shitty intrusive dancers for exercising his right to stand on the train.”
AND DAMN RIGHT, this fucking disgusting city is beyond way overcrowded, it is completely unhealthy and hazardous. I am more amazed there are not more fits of violence from regular citizen due to overcrowding, noise, traffic, a horrible commute on the worst public transportation system in the world, plus nonsense like these ebony clown dancers. From early morning till you get to bed, it is constant non-stop BULLSHIT from overcrowded subway cars with a sprinkling of dirty, dangerous homeless to the same old hustlers asking for food, change, metro card etc to the fucking constant barrage of noise, especially depending on where you live, low-class ghetto slob neighbors with their damn kids running around 11pm at night on a school night making all kind of noise, continuous annoying beeping of trucks backing up to the beeps every second of MTA buses, large trucks plowing through everything, cars driving by or parked blasting ghetto music as loud as they can and we have not even talked about the warm weather and summer which I DREAD every year. Eventually we are all going to be Howard Beele from Network except lunatic violent. People can only take so much before all hell breaks lose. AND like you said, these fucking politicians and real estate developers who actually run this city, could care fucking less.
Packing up seems to be the best answer and moving on to normalcy.

MAN OVER MIND
Dean S. Warren
Xlibris / 244 pages / July 2001
In the thirty-third century, rule by a man/computer hybrid has become a nightmare. Billions seethe, waiting for the slightest chance to overthrow the Minds that control them and have made life unbearable for centuries. Until now, no one has come along who has presented any hope for destroying these human brains who join with the computers to become all-powerful and monstrous in their appetites.
Out of these billions comes one man, the sole survivor of an ancient and honoured family, daring to take on the vast power of the Minds. Tol is determined to break the Minds crushing hold on humanity or die in the attempt. Looking at the situation in a coldly logical light, the latter appears the most likely conclusion. Tol knows the risks, he simply isn’t willing to give up on the plan.
Actually, ‘plan’ might be a bit inaccurate; most of the time, Tol is operating with less of a plan than a determination. Much of the time, he even seems to be working against the people who are ostensibly on his side. If nothing else, Tol is a man with an exceptionally strong will and an amazingly thick skull.
Man Over Mind plays out as a contest of wills as much as it is a test of mental dexterity. Tols’ war against the Minds is a fascinating learning process with a deadly consequence for failure. How he discovers paths into and around the defenses of the Minds is like a maze with occasional rewards, but always more labyrinth ahead. The process is taut and unpredictable every time. It is this uncertainty that keeps the plot driving forward.
Perhaps, as to be expected in a novel focussing on computers and human beings who have lost their humanity, the characters are the least interesting aspect of Man Over Mind. The story’s requisite beautiful, young woman rarely rises above cut-out status, swinging from one extreme emotion to another. Tol’s friends and supporters fill the necessary roles of an army of rebellion, but progress no further. Even the villainous Minds lack dimension to give them more than Snidely Whiplash style evil.
Obviously, the hard work here went into the complicated plot. Tols’ battles with the Minds are complex and taut, revealing more about the human brain with every encounter. The questions raised about computer logic and the process of the human mind are enough to halt the reader in mid-sentence at times.
Man Over Mind will definitely set your own brain thinking and wondering. You can’t help but wonder though, if it couldn’t have been so much more.

I love and lament the arrival of blueberries.
Blueberries are one of my favourite fruits but they appear as summer is winding down and back-to-school is closing in. Still, there’s something thrilling about stuffing my freezer with these blue beauties – so I can savour August all year long.
The blueberries are plentiful along the trails near our home where we often walk. We usually stop to nibble for a bit and even our dog used to “pick” a few once we guided her nose to the fruit on the stem. I lack patience for picking though so the berries we freeze come from local markets.
Wild-grown New Brunswick blueberries are my favourite and although I have seen bags of frozen blueberries in the big grocery stores that are labeled “wild” they just don’t taste the same.
Most of our blueberries go into morning smoothies but there is never a shortage for baking. I’m happy to throw blueberries into just about anything that I bake.
Here is a collection of six of my favourite blueberry recipes from the past couple of years:
Blueberry Cornbread – A deliciously moist cornbread dotted with plump blueberries and lightly sweetened with molasses. Perfect with breakfast, for snacking or dessert.
Blueberry Peach Cobbler (Pudding Cake) – A warm and comforting cobbler that combines some of the best fruit of summer – blueberries and peaches.
Blueberry Wheat Germ Muffins – A light textured muffin made with yogurt. Extra healthy and nutty flavoured thanks to the wheat germ.
Best Blueberry Muffins – My favourite blueberry muffin recipe that’s ever adaptable. The recipe includes 10 flavour variations, all delicious.
Blueberry Flax Gingerbread – This is a great snacking cake made healthier with the addition of ground flaxseed.
Blueberry Molasses Scones – One of the most beautifully textured scones that I have ever made. A great way to showcase the perfect flavour pairing of blueberries and molasses.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an effective method for two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems.
The variational iteration method (VIM) is used to solve two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems and restore boundary conditions in heat conduction.
Numerical results compared with other methods show that the present method is remarkably effective for solving two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems. This method is a very promoting method, which will be certainly found wide applications.
The VIM is applied to two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems for the first time.

HIV prevention is complex, can be controversial, and is chronically underfunded. But it works. It’s saved lives, and will save many more if brought to the appropriate scope and scale to reach those in need.
It’s well past time to fully provide the proven basics of HIV prevention: accurate, non-stigmatizing sex ed; condoms (including “female condoms”); sterile syringes; STD testing and treatment; and access to harm reduction services and drug treatment.
We can now add post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP, which can prevent HIV infection if administered within 72 hours of activities that carry the risk of transmission) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP, in which a person takes a daily dose of an anti-HIV drug to prevent infection from possible exposures], as well as access to treatment for people with HIV to the toolbox. In coming years, vaginal and rectal microbicides will further expand our toolbox.
Many safer sex training materials and methods haven’t been fully updated in decades, include moral judgments about sex, and don’t emphasize the relative risk of different activities. Oral sex is an extremely low risk activity, yet most materials or programs don’t talk about it as an option that is much safer than anal or vaginal sex.
For many, HIV prevention will only work if it is part of a much broader, affirming approach. LGBTQ health, gender justice, women’s sexual empowerment, and non-criminalizing efforts to address the violence, bias and economic marginalization that limits choices in sexuality, drug use and healthcare access are crucial.
CDC’s strategies of “high-impact prevention” (HIP) could help budge stubbornly high incidence rates, by increasing testing and access to treatment, funding “prevention with positives,” promoting policy change and tackling social determinants of health. But in order to reach all, HIP must authentically involve prevention justice advocates and other community members at all stages of planning, roll-out and evaluation.

The Schematic Diagram Of Bacterial Cell Structure Download Scientific Diagram
Cell envelope of prokaryote 7.
Bacterial cell structure diagram. The cytoplasm is enclosed by three layers the outermost slime or capsule the middle cell wall and inner cell membrane. They have an outer cell wall that gives them shape. Size of a bacterial cell 2.
Different species of bacteria have varying shapes and sizes but generally bacteria have a size range of 05 um to 03 um in diameter and 05 um to 10 um in length. The major cytoplasmic contents are nucleoid plasmid ribosome mesosome etc and the cell is devoid of endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria centrosome and golgi bodies. The cell envelope is composed of the cell membrane and the cell wallas in other organisms the bacterial cell wall provides structural integrity to the cell.

The single circular double stranded chromosome is the bacterial genome. Just under the rigid cell wall is the more fluid cell membrane. It gives shape to the cell.
It protects cell from desiccation and antibiotics. Bacteria prokaryotes are simple in structure with no recognizable organelles. Some bacteria are surrounded by a gelatinous substance which is composed of polysaccharides or polypeptide or both.
Structures outside the cell membrane 5. In prokaryotes the primary function of the cell wall is to protect the cell from internal turgor pressure caused by the much higher concentrations of proteins and other molecules inside the cell compared to its external environment.

As I sit here alone with my thoughts and my fears, suffering the consequence of those bought social sneers, I can’t help but embrace the judgement from peers. A reality so true; I’m nothing more than a broken old gear.
Broken by function and broken by fate. I lay on this landfill thinking, – am I even still here, and am I too late? As I find myself slipping further into the rear of my own mental state, a ray of sunshine appears in the form of a queer, confusing my fate.
His dreams are so bright and so clear, that my heart starts to sear. In his dream I’m something, although something very unclear. I then try and I try to become something he can hold dear, but my thoughts and ideas can’t help but to veer,
till dreams turns to nothing but a great many fears. Here I’ll remain nothing, not even a simple old gear.
Who knows the future? Secrets in the palm of jesting mind. Deep dwells the forgotten past, a reminder of untold losses. A life adorned with love, kindness, loyalty, and selflessness. Questions unanswerable pecking the essence of sanity Fate says the
Eerie the right and weird the atmosphere, Lightning flashes fearful faces, Giant trees cast sinister shadows, Danger lurks in the oddest of places, I stumbled on a stone and hit my head down, I suddenly realized that I had strayed

Seasons for Growth - a programme for young people who have experienced significant change or loss.
The programme examines the impact of changes such as death, separation, divorce, and natural disaster upon our lives, and explores how we can learn to live with and grow from these experiences.
intentions of this program are the development of resilience and emotional
literacy to promote social and emotional well-being. The programme is educational
in nature and does not provide therapy. The programme uses the imagery of the four seasons to illustrate that grief is cyclical, not a
linear journey with a clear end.
Recently in the Clutha District, three Season's For Growth programmes have been completed. Each programme was an emotional journey for all involved with every participant gaining something from their experience. Here are some of the comments received from young people who have completed the program:-
"I have learned that change is a part of life but I am strong enough to get through any weather".
"I learned that everyone goes through change and we all do it differently. There is no right or wrong way".
"I learned that change shapes us".
"Through the programme I gained strategies to deal with my own unique emotions and the reasons behind these feelings. I've also learnt how important it is to treasure the good memories".
"Season's For Growth is a great group to be in. If you're having a hard time definitely give it a go. It's very supportive and will help you through anything".
"It's really helpful to learn about the different parts of the process to dealing with change and loss".
Those who completed the programme should be extremely proud of themselves. It's not easy to deal with painful emotions at any age and hopefully these wonderful young people will thrive in life because of their personal growth and understanding of the change process.

Civic, Faith-Based and Non-Profit Leadership Working Together to Build a Thriving NJ
Due to the snow storm, the date for the Union County’s Housing Summit to Build a Thriving NJ has been rescheduled for Wednesday March 29, 2017 at 7:00 p.m., at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 695 Mountain Avenue in Springfield.
Register online to attend this free event.
“The Union County Interfaith Coordinating Council works to facilitate regular interfaith meetings to make way for the building of bonds within the interfaith community. Our faith-based members and community partners know all too well that an affordable place to call home in Union County is an impossible dream when a family needs an income of $52,8960 to rent a modest two-bedroom apartment. We are happy to host this housing conference so that we can all work together to Build a Thriving NJ,” said Deacon Tim Williams, Chair, UCICC.
The event provides an opportunity for all Union County residents to attend and learn more about the Housing and Community Development Network for New Jersey’s “Let’s Build a Thriving New Jersey” campaign and how Union County civic, faith-based, and non-profit leadership can make a Thriving NJ and ensure that our neighbors in union County benefit.
In Union County, a family needs to earn $25.46 an hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment. The median income is lower than that so we are in an affordable homes crisis that hurts our families.
The Housing Summit’s sponsors include:
- Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless,
- Family Promise Union County,
- Community Access Unlimited,
- Union County Interfaith Coordinating Council
- Iris House, and
- Monarch Housing Associates.
The Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey has launched the Build a Thriving New Jersey Campaign.
The Campaign and the local sponsors urge NJ leaders to commit $600 million annually to create homes we can afford.
As background, the 2008 recession, the foreclosure crisis and Superstorm Sandy took an enormous toll on the communities in which our members work. Everyone around New Jersey has felt the impact – from our infrastructure to our businesses to the neighborhoods where we work and live.
We are still recovering and our economy needs to get back on track – so that our residents have jobs that support vibrant opportunities in every corner of our state.
We have a simple solution: start with the basics of making sure everyone can afford to call New Jersey home. If we build homes we can afford, and revitalize the communities where we work and live, we can Build a Thriving New Jersey.
Our families, friends and neighbors are the heart of our state and the backbone of our economy. If we can’t afford to live here, we can’t get our economy back on track.


Boilers are an important part of any modern home. Before there were boilers, wood and coal fires heated the insides of most homes. The concept behind central heating is a closed loop of pipes where hot water is pumped through. Heat is distributed in every room through radiators, while the hot water cools down as it goes back to the boiler and tank. New York’s Order a Plumber explains that installing a boiler requires a trained plumber for Long Island’s homes.
A heating system has different parts, starting from the boiler to the pipes and radiator, as well as the gas jets that heat the water.
The Gas Boiler
When temperatures go down late in the year, houses fire up their gas boilers. This continues to stay turned on and burn gas during the rest of autumn and the whole of winter. It is important that the heating process is properly monitored. The gas flames should be blue, indicating that there is adequate oxygen for the burning process. If the flames turn yellow, it means that there is inadequate air in the burning process. This leads to a dark smoke and the production of carbon monoxide.
Heating the House
The boiler burns continuously from the moment it starts in autumn until it gets comfortably warm in spring. With the boiler in continuous operation, the other parts of the system are also running at the same time. Included in the system is the water pump, which forces water through the pipes and heats the whole house.
The boiler is fed by a gas pipe connected to the gas mains. The water is inside heat exchangers, which are heated by gas jets. The water gets heat to around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or 60 degrees Celsius. An electric pump near the boiler keeps the water running inside the pipes. Without the pump, the heated water would not reach the radiators throughout the house.
These are only some of the things you should know about boilers. Don’t hesitate to talk to an expert if you’re still confused about its function.


Boston String Quartet to play Dec. 18
KENNEBUNK — The Boston String Quartet, a creative leader in contemporary classical music in New England, will perform its new holiday program, "Christmas in Buenos Aires," at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at St. David's Episcopal Church on Route 1. Tickets are $15 and can be ordered online at http://stdavidskennebunk.episcopalmaine.org or by calling 985-3073.
The quartet, known for its unique sound and contemporary playing techniques, has collaborated with famous performers such as John Mayer and the Boston Ballet. Its eclectic holiday program will feature a stylistic, toe-tapping mix of tango, salsa, rumba, and other Latin dances. Music will range from flamenco writings of award-winning composer Mauricio Yazigi, to contemporary jazz classics by former Turtle Island String Quartet member Danny Seidenberg, to a new arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
"We love music here at St. David's and have developed a strong musical tradition, incorporating it into all that we do. We are delighted to host such accomplished musicians here at the church and welcome the opportunity to share this special concert with the community," the Rev. Daniel Riggall said.
From musical education to live performances and recordings, the Boston String Quartet has grown famous for its creative and accomplished presentations, performing its own arrangements of classical chamber music, rock, jazz, and world music in places such as Carnegie Hall, the Los Angeles Music Awards and at PBS. With a strong commitment to musical education, the group has also participated in multiple education tours each year from high school music programs to master classes. Don't miss out on this fabulous concert in a beautiful setting!
