MARION SELECTMEN'S MEETING
Surplus Vehicles Approved for Transfer
Marion Board of Selectmen
By Jean Perry
Since they were already meeting on August 18 to discuss Sprague's Cove, the Marion Board of Selectmen decided to cancel their Tuesday, August 19 meeting and approve a few items before their August 18 meeting with ConCom and MOSAC.
Most of the discussion focused on 525 County Road, a property that is in disarray, for which Building Commissioner Scott Shippey requested a temporary restraining order so that the town could take legal action to secure the property.
Town Administrator Paul Dawson said a similar discussion took place during the last selectmen's meeting when attention was directed toward a Point Road property also in disrepair. He added that the process would be swifter if selectmen voted to authorize town counsel to add the County Road property to the motion for the TRO along with the Point Road property.
Shippey told selectmen the issue with 525 County Road began back in November of 2012, but since then communication ceased between the Building Department and the property owner. He described the property as being in a state of disrepair, which he witnessed back in July 2014.
"The house actually collapsed in on itself," said Shippey. "So there was a very serious issue there." He later mentioned an old gas tank on the site, adding, "There's a lot of hazards."
"I need that TRO to make sure I'm covered to enter that premises," said Shippey.
Selectmen authorized Shippey's request.
"Not so long ago, it wasn't a bad looking place," Chairman Jonathan Henry commented.
Also during the meeting, Henry chose at random the winning ticket for the 2014 Marion Scholarship Committee Annual Raffle. The winner is Brad Wayne, who wins a set of Red Sox tickets donated by MSC member Laura Sharp and her family.
In other matters, the board approved the transfer of one police cruiser to the Harbormaster Department, in light of the purchase of a new cruiser. Dawson said, effective July 1, the Harbormaster Department increased its staff from two to three full-time employees, and an additional vehicle was required for the new assistant harbormaster to use during emergency response calls.
"It's difficult to ... ask them to do that in their own private vehicles," said Dawson. He said all the costs for repairs and maintenance would come out of the harbormaster's budget as well as the waterways account.
"There will be no direct expense to the taxpayers," said Dawson.
The board also approved the transfer of one Department of Public Works truck to the Facilities Department. The 2000 GMC truck was replaced last year and now the Facilities Department will use the truck to transport workers and equipment from job site to job site.
The board also voted to declare two outboard motors currently used by the Harbormaster Department as surplus property, and approved a one-day wine and malt license for the Marion Party/Block Dance on August 23.
Also approved were two one-day all alcohol licenses for the Marion Social Club steak dinner on September 15 and the clam bake on October 19. The board also approved a one-day malt and wine license for the Buzzards Bay Habitat for Humanity Gingerbread House Gala on December 4.
The next meeting of the Marion Board of Selectmen is September 2 at 7:00 pm.
Opinions on Sprague's Cove Divided
Marion Board of Selectmen
By Jean Perry
Marion Board of Selectmen on August 18 witnessed firsthand how divided residents and interested parties are over the root cause and future remediation of Sprague's Cove, which resulted in a vote to take more time to digest the information before deciding on who should have control over the site. Until then, selectmen are holding onto their authority over the property.
The board and about 50 residents alike heard two conflicting presentations by the Marion Conservation Commission and the Marion Open Spaces Acquisition Commission (MOSAC). They also heard advice from phragmite expert Dr. John Teal of Rochester, who also serves on the Rochester Conservation Commission.
By now, most Marionites know what a phragmite is. The invasive and non-native species of wetlands vegetation is increasingly invading and occupying wetlands all over the Southcoast, choking out indigenous species of wetlands vegetation and wreaking havoc on the biodiversity of sensitive wetlands habitats.
Efforts to thwart the spread of the unwelcome invaders have been a losing battle thus far across affected areas and, as Teal pointed out during his presentation to familiarize selectmen with the Tao of the phragmite, there is only one way to eradicate them: diligent repeated applications of herbicide, and even that can sometimes fail to defeat the phrags' assault on ponds, swamps, marshes, and beaches.
In its own attempt to spare Sprague's Cove from succumbing to phragmites, a wetland was constructed in 1995 to counteract fecal bacteria contamination of Silvershell Beach from storm water runoff, and the ConCom back in 2012 authorized an outside agency to mow down much of the phragmites at the site, causing some outrage from concerned residents in the vicinity because of the aesthetic alteration to the area.
Norman Mills, on behalf on the ConCom, gave a slideshow presentation on the past, present, and proposed future of Sprague's Cove.
Mills said the phragmites are restricting the water flow of the natural filtration system, reducing the biodiversity of the cove, and they have "destroyed what was put down there originally in 1995."
"MOSAC is well-equipped to control maintenance of invasive species," said Mills after emphasizing that Town Meeting this year struck down an article that would fund the ConCom's effort to control the phragmites. "MOSAC has done nothing to control invasive species..."
The ConCom's recommendation for the future of Sprague's Cove, as presented by Mills, is "to continue the way it is right now," enlisting the help of volunteers in order to restore the wetlands to "the way people remember way back when it started," eliciting a quiet chuckle from MOSAC Chairman John Rockwell seated in the audience, awaiting his turn to address selectmen and residents. Mills admitted that the ConCom "probably overstepped its boundaries" when it had the phrags mowed.
"We went in too quickly," said Mills, and without the input of the community. "Whatever the selectmen decide is fine." Mills said the ConCom prefers to "be proactive, but passive and leave it alone."
Rockwell, also a wetlands specialist, contends that the problem with the drainage of Sprague's Cove stems not with the phragmites, but with a clogged six-inch drainage pipe that has diminished 40% of the system's capacity to filter through water, and what needs to be done is to snake the clogged pipe to open it up again and devise a maintenance plan, involving several interested parties who will agree upon the plan. He added that there has been a history of issues with the drainage throughout the years.
Phragmites, he said, have been used in the past as a preferred soil erosion inhibitor and what is happening here in Marion is the result of aesthetic concerns.
"They don't like the way it looks," said Rockwell. He said, although phrags are one of his concerns overall, he limits that concern to the more pristine areas of Marion that phragmites have yet to invade. Otherwise, the futile battle to remove phragmites is not the best way the town can spend its money, according to Rockwell.
Toward the end of the public discussion, despite Board of Selectmen Chairman Jonathan Henry's statement that the time would not be used to pin blame on either side of the issue, there was a bit of mudslinging nonetheless.
Some wondered that if Rockwell knew of the drainage issue in the past, why he did not bring it up. Rockwell maintained that he had informed someone, but no action was taken. He said MOSAC would not undertake the remediation of Sprague's Cove unless the selectmen voted to hand the authority over to MOSAC.
"And now the selectmen hold the bag, and it's probably a bag they don't really want to hold," said Rockwell.
ConCom member Stephen Gonsalves had a hard time wrapping his head around the drainage pipe, rather than the phragmites, being the main problem with the functioning of Sprague's Cove.
Accompanying MOSAC was the engineer of the original plan for Sprague's Cove, Bernadette Taber, who stated that phragmites would do "just as good of a job" of filtering water as the native species that were originally planted at the site.
"It doesn't affect how this system right now is functioning," said Taber.
"I'm no lover of phragmites ... I've killed plenty," said Rockwell. "It just shouldn't be done under the guise of making the basin work."
Selectman Jody Dickerson said he heard a lot of information that night and needed more time to process, do more research, and preferred to table the matter until the next meeting.
"At this point, I'm not certain how that should come out," said Henry. He said he heard both arguments and "it could go both ways."
Resident Annie Rockwell interrupted a vote to introduce a petition of 162 signatures in favor of handing authority of Sprague's Cove to MOSAC.
Another resident, Sandra Parsons, addressed the selectmen and asked to have her signature stricken from the petition. She said after learning more about the situation that evening, she was no longer sure if she preferred MOSAC to manage the site.
"The jury is out for me," said Parsons, "because I have new things to think about."
Rockwell interjected one final time to suggest that funding phragmite removal at Sprague's Cove was not the wisest way to use Town funds.
"It's not a good use of town money," said Rockwell, emphasizing that his opinion had nothing to do with how he personally felt about phragmites.

One of the best and early tools you’ll need in Valheim is the pickaxe. This tools is the most useful early on but also comes in handy as you progress further into Valheim. The pickaxe is used to harvest ores, rare metals, and ingots. With the help of the pickaxe, you can craft more items including the best weapons and armor. In this quick guide, I will explain how to craft the pickaxe in Valheim.
Valheim: How to Craft the Pickaxe (Antler pickaxe)
Early on in the game, the pickaxe is called the antler pickaxe. Unlike other games, getting initial tools in Valheim is quite different. To get the pickaxe recipe you need to beat Elkthyr, the first boss of Valhiem. once you beat the first boss, you will get the materials as well for crafting the pickaxe.
If you don’t know how to summon the first boss, hunt enough deer to get the deer trophy to summon Elkthyr.
Once you beat the boss you will get antlers which is a guaranteed drop. To craft the pickaxe you need 10x Wood and 1x Hard Antler. Go to the workbench and use these crafting materials to craft the item you need.
You will get a low-level pickaxe early on but you can craft high-quality pickaxes later on in Valheim. You’ll need enough copper and iron ores to craft it.

In 2014, Felix Kattchin completed his apprenticeship as a chef at the renowned restaurant The Brooklyn Berlin - as valedictorian. Immediately afterwards, the native of Berlin was named Berlin's youngest chef at the time in the same American Fine Dining Steakhouse. The 30-year-old has been in charge of the kitchen team at the
Grill Restaurant Lake Terrace in the Park Hotel Vitznau since 2017. Last year he completed his apprenticeship as a meat sommelier in Augsburg, Germany.
I can officially call myself the first meat sommelier in Central Switzerland
... says Felix Kattchin, «and I am happy when I can explain everything about the origin and processing of the products to our guests.» The award of 13 GautMillau points came as a surprise for him and his team, but it is without a doubt one of his personal highlights, as he says with a smile.
A fascination with product diversity and nature
In the region around Lake Lucerne, he is impressed by the density of regional partners who offer products of outstanding quality. "If I want to buy eggs in the region, I can go to the farmer in Vitznau and pet the chickens."
Growing up in the big city of Berlin, Kattchin is always fascinated by this bond with the region. This diversity - crowned by the proximity to the mountains and the lake - offers him a unique work-life balance, Kattchin continues.
The two-week training course to become a meat sommelier for specialists from the catering and retail trade in the meat trade training center in Augsburg includes the following topics: the cultural history of meat, keeping, races and origins of the animals, processing, BBQ and preparation of the pieces of meat, as well as nutrition and sensory analysis.

About the book
A strange man (named Howard) on a strange quest (for a Paper Grail) in a strange land (California) . . . A lot of fuss for a folded scrap of paper. But considering all the odd people searching for the Grail, it must be something special. Something magical . . .
About the author
James Paul Blaylock (born September 20, 1950) is an American fantasy author. He is noted for a distinctive, humorous style, as well as being one of the pioneers of the steampunk genre of science fiction. Blaylock has cited Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens as his inspirations.
He was born in Long Beach, California; studied English at California State University, Fullerton, receiving an M.A. in 1974; and lives in Orange, California, teaching creative writing at Chapman University. He taught at the Orange County School of the arts until 2013. Many of his books are set in Orange County, California, and can more specifically be termed "fabulism" that is, fantastic things happen in our present-day world, rather than in traditional fantasy, where the setting is often some other world. His works have also been categorized as magic realism.
He and his friends Tim Powers and K. W. Jeter were mentored by Philip K. Dick. Along with Powers, Blaylock invented the poet William Ashbless. Blaylock and Powers have often collaborated with each other on writing stories, including "The Better Boy", "On Pirates", and "The William Ashbless Memorial Cookbook".
Blaylock previously served as director of the Creative Writing Conservatory at the Orange County High School of the Arts until 2013, where Powers has also been Writer in Residence.
He has been married to his wife, Viki Blaylock, for more than 40 years. They have two sons, John and Danny.

Life is tough, then you die. This is true for everyone but zillionaires like Donald Trump. We all know how bad it can get. Cancer. Bankruptcy. Divorce. Incarceration. The kids die. Then the dog. The house burns down. Feeling suicidal yet? If you are, Kay Redfield Jamison, professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins and author of a new book on the subject, would claim you're suffering from a mental illness.
"Most who encounter the ordinary, if awful stresses and losses handed out by life handle them well or reasonably well," Jamison assures us in "Night Falls Fast." "In fact, very few people commit suicide under even the most terrible and prolonged situations of physical or mental suffering."
The ones who break are "biologically vulnerable," suffering from "depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, or crippling anxiety." Jamison herself is "a biologically vulnerable" woman who tried to kill herself when she was 28 with an overdose of Lithium. She failed, of course. Picked herself up. And began a lifelong study of her malady. The result is "Night Falls Fast."
Jamison's treatise on suicide takes a serious tone, and is neither an easy nor a cheerful read. The book's characters eat the gun. Drink Drano. Leap into volcanoes. One woman climbs into a lions' den. A little girl tries to jump from a speeding car because "I am very hungry. I bite people and try to eat them up." The only intentionally "light" moment is the presentation of the joke/poem "Risumi" by Dorothy Parker:
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Although we may chuckle at Parker's gallows humor, let's not forget that the poet tried to off herself three times. What about us? When I was 15 I tried to kill myself ` la Romeo and Juliet. Not to go into the gory details too deeply, but my girlfriend and I were kicked out of our respective suburban households. We'd made a death pact, but my love sensibly backed out of the deal, leaving me on my own to attempt to kill myself. I was lucky that I didn't succeed, and now attribute the whole thing to a passing adolescent phase. At the time, I did not suffer the highs and lows of manic depression. I was not schizophrenic and I am pretty sure I was not clinically depressed.
Although my situation was just bad suburban melodrama, I was sure Jamison would say my take was wrong. Sure, teenagers are in hormonal overdrive, but that alone never leads to suicide. Jamison attributes the 120 percent rise in children's killing themselves to a changing age of puberty, and the age in which depression first occurs.
I couldn't understand how Jamison could exclude unfortunate events in a person's life -- which would change the way anyone looks at the world -- and attribute all suicides to psychotic illness. So I went to her for some answers, to find out if suicide is truly only the domain of the mentally ill.
Do people at book signings start telling you their suicide stories?
Are you a repository for suicide stories?
I wouldn't put it that way, but yes.
[Bowman tells her his story.]
Were you really depressed?
Not clinically. And I think that there are others like me who aren't manic depressives and still try to kill themselves. But most of the suicide victims that you included in your book have brain-chemistry problems.
Most people go through a lot of difficult things and don't commit suicide. There is generally a depressive component in addition to everything else that is going on.
You write that suicide is never a result of a single factor or event. So back during the Depression, bankruptcy was just the final straw that made brokers leap from their windows?
Yeah. Because you have to look at all the people who went bankrupt and lost their families and lost everything and didn't kill themselves.
And people who are terminally sick generally don't kill themselves?
Overwhelming they do not.
I hope I have the courage and opportunity to kill myself if I get a terminal illness. I know a certain building in New York City without guards in the lobby. You can take an elevator to the 31st floor where the hallway is lined with unlocked windows. Down below -- just an empty alley. It seems smart to know about such buildings. Is this kind of consideration abnormal?
It is and it isn't. It's concerning that you think about it that much. It's just something I would put in the back of my head -- it's something to deal with. I mean, how old are you?
I would say it's premature to be going into that much planning.
Doesn't everybody have such thoughts?
A lot of people think about suicide, but the difference between thinking about it and attempting it is huge.
Is suicide the first thing you think of when you're clinically depressed?
No. If you have a clinical depression, you're just more vulnerable to suicide. Most people who are clinically depressed don't kill themselves. But of people who kill themselves, most were clinically depressed.
What are the exceptions to this rule -- those who killed themselves and weren't clinically depressed?
Drugs can lead to suicide. Alcohol. A financial crisis. Again, a single risk factor only slightly increases the odds that someone will kill themselves. As I say in my book, "Acute psychiatric illness is the single most common trigger of suicide."
Do people who are suicidal know it?
I don't think a child who's 8 years old and puts a rope around his neck is completely aware of being suicidal. I think it involves a level of cognitive thinking that is perhaps not available to that 8-year-old child. But is the child desperate and unhappy? Yes. I think by definition suicide requires some conscious, motivational component.
Do you think kids are more prone to look at suicide as "I'm gonna do this because things are really bad"?
One of the reasons suicide begins to occur more frequently in adolescence is because puberty is associated with the onslaught of major psychiatric illnesses. The average age of onset for manic depression is at age 17 or 18; for schizophrenia, it's 19. Kids are at a time when their control of impulses is not as well-established as when they're older. They're getting ill for the first time and it's particularly devastating.
Is there a difference between those who try to kill themselves and those who succeed?
It's estimated that there are 10 to 25 suicide attempts for every completed suicide. Women are more likely to attempt suicide than men, while men are more likely to succeed.
Why the difference?
Females are twice as likely to suffer from depression, which is why they make more attempts. They are also less violent and impulsive than men, so they use relatively safer means like self-poisoning.
And men are more likely to use guns?
Yes. Also, the stigma to admit to a failed suicide attempt is greater for men than for women.
But in the end, men, women and children never commit suicide just because of stress? It still doesn't make sense to me. Is it nuts to think that way?
I don't think it's "nuts." It's not clear to me what you're really asking me in this interview, actually. The subject of my book is why people kill themselves. Not thoughts that people may have across the distribution of population. I'm actually talking about people who go out and kill themselves. And how do we keep them from doing that; and why do they do it.
But before most people kill themselves, they think about it. So you have to be concerned with people's thoughts. When I read your book, I considered whether or not I was at risk of suicide. It was only later that I thought about people I know who may be potentially at risk. What do most readers pick up on first?
People read it for various reasons. A lot of people who have a family member who killed themselves read it to understand why a child or brother or sister or husband or wife killed themselves. Some people just want to know about suicide. As a human being, the great ongoing question is trying to figure out why people kill themselves.
Do you feel that we're living in the age of suicide?
I think there are way too many people killing themselves unnecessarily. I think there is a huge suicide problem in the United States. I think people are very aware that suicide is not uncommon. For example, it's the second killer of college students.
I'm just curious, what did you think of the recent review of your book in New York Times?
I thought it was great.
But he said that after you read this book, you feel like killing yourself ...
It must have been a hard book to write.
Yes. It was a very hard book to write.
What are you doing next?
I'm writing a book about medicine in the National Zoo.
Do animals commit suicide?
There's no evidence that they do. They certainly engage in high-risk and self-destructive behavior at times. They chew their tails off; chew their hands off in conditions of great stress. The issue of whether or not it's intentional or not is hard to prove in animals that can't communicate. For example, lemmings -- people think of lemmings committing suicide, but there's no evidence that that's what they're doing.
OK, since we don't know about animals, what about people -- are they ashamed to be committing suicide or feel that it's their right?
It's hard to know. Family members are often ashamed that someone killed themselves in their family. Unfortunately, that's not an unusual reaction. I think that's one of the problems of suicide -- people don't feel like they can talk to other people enough about it.
How can suicide be prevented?
By identifying those at risk and helping them get treatment; by not romanticizing suicides in the news, and limiting access to instruments of suicide, such as guns. We need to also get rid of the stigma against suicide.
How will your book help?
In several ways: I would like people to become aware of how much of a major health problem suicide is, especially among the young; and to understand the level of absolute desperation and anguish that goes into it. And however tempting it is to think about suicide in existential terms, the fact that clinical research and scientific research are quite consistent with showing that an overwhelming majority of suicides are related to treatable psychotic illness. Parents ought to talk to their kids about it -- not necessarily suicide, but surely about depression.

“I’d call it a march, not a parade. Pride started as a protest and a political statement.”
As director of Santa Cruz Pride for 15 years beginning in 1990, Merrie Schaller remembers when the annual Pride Parade was a lot different than it is now. She remembers when a special security detail was required just for the march to make it through downtown. She remembers when religious groups would kneel on the sidewalks as it passed, praying for its members. Although many now use the two terms “march” and “parade,” interchangeably, Schaller said she wasn’t being trite, but trying to make a point: The LGBT community in Santa Cruz, and everywhere else, has fought for and earned the levels of acceptance common today.
To honor contributions community members have made to that struggle, Santa Cruz Pride is now accepting nominations for the two Grand Marshals of the parade and for proclamations, titles and honors given to individuals who have had outstanding involvement in the Santa Cruz LGBT community.
“What you do to become Grand Marshal versus what you do to get a proclamation isn’t really different,” says Crissann McCann, current coordinator of the march. “They’re both members of our community who have done something to really step up and stand out and contribute. They’re both once-in-a-lifetime things.”
Grand Marshals are a relatively recent addition to the Santa Cruz Pride Parade, which started in 1975 and ties with San Diego for as third longest running in California, behind San Francisco and Los Angeles. Schaller remembers how the tradition started.
“There was a UCSC student and community activist named Gary Reynolds, who was very out on campus and eventually very out as a person with AIDS,” Schaller said. “And about the time we were putting on Pride in ‘91, we were kind of saying, ‘You know, Gary doesn’t look very well. I don’t know if he’s going to be well enough to march.’ But the idea of doing Pride without Gary was just ridiculous.”
Someone then proposed Gary ride in a car for the march, to make it less physically demanding.
“We said, ‘Since we’re going to get him a car, well, let’s make him Grand Marshal,’” Schaller said. “And so he was our first Grand Marshal, because he was, frankly, not well enough to be in it otherwise.”
Schaller recalls Reynolds struggled greatly to make it through the march, even with the help of the car, and drifted in and out of consciousness as the day went on. It was only with extreme effort that Reynolds was able to finish up and look back upon a successful march. That effort had taken a toll, however.
“The morning after Pride, he died. And basically, he stayed alive to be Grand Marshal,” Schaller said.
The Grand Marshals have been an integral part of the parade ever since, and Reynolds’ unwavering commitment to the Santa Cruz LGBT community serves as an inspiration for the many others who continue to work towards change. And change has happened.
“It was very normal to have people throw things at us, particularly at the back of the line, and there were people who would step in and hassle people and sometimes throw a punch or two,” Schaller said. “So we had very, very well-trained security people.”
In a separate interview, Laura McCann, Crissann’s wife and director of the TAPS program at UCSC, as well as current coordinator of the march, said, “Every now and then we get one knucklehead, but for the most part, everybody’s very accepting.”
Schaller and the McCanns agree in many cases the advances made by the march and the community that puts it on have been quite astounding.
“Some of the religious organizations and individuals over the years have gone from standing on the sidelines and protesting to actually being in the parade and supporting us,” said Crissann McCann.
For Schaller, seeing that change and honoring the people who’ve made it possible is what the whole parade is about.
“It’s a great place for younger people to look around and say, ‘These are the people who made my community happen,’” Schaller said. “And it’s a great way for older people to look around and say ‘These are the people who are continuing my community.’ We have a lot more to do, but we’ve come an incredibly long way.”

SpaceX Delays Hyperloop Pod Competition to 2017
SpaceX announced Friday that it will hold the second stage of its Hyperloop Pod Competition from January 27-29, 2017. That’s a delay of around five months from earlier plans, which had the competition happening later this summer. According to SpaceX (SPACEX), the delay comes at the request of “many” of the teams, who have said they need more time to work on designing and building their pods.
During the competition weekend, to be held near SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif., the mostly student-led teams will send their hyperloop pods down a test track to see who can clock the fastest speed. When he spoke at the initial stage of the competition, hyperloop mastermind Elon Musk said he anticipated a big audience for the live tests—crowds of hundreds showed up to the public segment of the first event, and that was just to look at drawings. With hyperloop development and deals accelerating over the last six months, big audiences seem even more likely now.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune’s technology newsletter.
The delay isn’t a huge surprise, as the competition’s timetable always seemed a bit compressed. The first stage of the competition, in January, whittled more than 115 semi-finalist teams down to 30 finalists, but that was based on design concepts. Building the actual pods involves not just refining and testing the designs, but a lot of background and support work. Many teams I spoke to at the first stage of the competition, including winner MIT, already had their own business development units. But others had next to none of the corporate or institutional funding they needed to even start building.
Logistics are another challenge, and a bigger one for some teams than others. International finalists, including teams from Japan’s Keio University and the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology, will have to transport their pods across an ocean (plus or minus a continent) to get to Hawthorne.
SpaceX itself also added a speed bump, waiting months after the first round to release specifications for the test track (as we’re learning, missed deadlines are something of an Elon Musk trademark). Neither SpaceX nor Musk have been directly involved in developing the hyperloop beyond the initial concept, but the rocket maker is sponsoring the competition both to support the broader project, and as a way to recruit top engineering talent.
For more on the hyperloop, watch our video.
With all that in mind, the extra time is almost certainly good for the hyperloop project overall. Nothing would have killed enthusiasm for Musk’s high-speed daydream like watching two dozen hastily-engineered student projects sputter, skid, or crash their way down a test track.
The one real downside of the delay is that, by next January, commercial hyperloop development may have significantly outpaced the student teams’ efforts. Hyperloop One has already tested the undercarriage for its pod, and onboard systems can’t be too far behind—though apparent internal chaos could slow things down.

A Farewell to Arms
, Download 1
...Farewell to Arms A farewell to arms is one of the best-known works to describe the destructiveness and horrors of war – in this case the World War I. It is a story of Frederic Henry, an American expatriate, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. The Hemingway’s work is a lyrical novel, in which a single emotion is taken to inform every scene of the novel, lying beneath every descriptive passage, and every bit of characterization is bitterness, disgust, desolation of soul and remorse. The plot structure of A Farewell to Arms is not merely dramatic but also tragic. The novel’s plot wholly conforms to the standard pattern of tragedy where in the start, development, and the conclusion... of the...


Hurricane Katrina made land fall along the Louisiana-Mississippi border during the morning of August 29th, 2005. At the time of the landfall, Katrina was a category 4 hurricane. The storm eye traveled a path 73.4 km west of Biloxi, where winds reached sustained speeds of 164 km/hr in Biloxi, with gusts in excess of 200 km/hr. The damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi was catastrophic in all single family dwellings within 400 to 600 mm of the waterfront and along the east end of the Biloxi peninsula (Fratta and Santamarina 2006). The wind load, rain-induced flooding, and the storm surge associated to large hurricanes cause slope failures, internal piping of earth dams, sediment transport along coastal regions and the failure of foundations for slender structures (Wieczorek 1996; Bucknam et al. 2001). Prepared with this information, we visited the Biloxi area twice (11/2005 and 7/2006) to assess the response of near-shore geotechnical systems (both onshore and offshore), including foundations, retaining walls, anchors and scouring next to bridge piers.

Setting a new standard for patient care, Kayal Osteoarthritis & Orthobiologics Center stands on the cutting edge of regenerative medicine. Orthobiologics is an advanced field in which human growth factors and proteins are used to stimulate tissue healing and regeneration. Used in patients dealing with osteoarthritis, sports injuries, chronic joint pain, and other orthopaedic conditions, these naturally occurring biomaterials—like bone marrow aspirate, platelet rich plasma / autologous conditioned plasma, and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)—can relieve pain, reduce swelling, and restore mobility. In some cases, orthobiologics may be used to put off or eliminate the need for more invasive surgical procedures and joint replacements.
Since orthobiologics got its start, Dr. Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS and his surgical team have been using these non-operative methods with great success. While orthobiologics is still a relatively new area of study, clinical research is continually discovering new ways to implement these advanced treatments.
Dr. Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS and the team at Kayal Osteoarthritis & Orthobiologics Center specialize in the use of non-invasive biologic therapies for patients suffering from sports injuries, osteoarthritis, chronic joint pain, musculoskeletal injuries, diabetic ulcers, non-healing wounds, and more. Orthobiologics offer a “fast track” to healing and pain relief, and have proven successful for hundreds of patients.
Orthobiologics are cellular therapies used in place of or in conjunction with other therapies and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In some cases, biologics even allow patients to delay or eliminate the need for surgical intervention. Injected or grafted into damaged and diseased areas, biologics work by harnessing the body’s ability to regenerate cells for tissue healing and injury rehabilitation. Pioneering the use of orthobiologics within New Jersey and the surrounding area, Dr. Kayal and his surgical team are on the cutting edge of these innovative procedures.
NJ Orthobiologics Services
Biologics are revolutionizing the future of orthopaedic treatment. At Kayal Osteoarthritis & Orthobiologics Center, we are at the forefront of biomedical research and are committed to continual innovation in our field. Cutting-edge orthobiologics services include:
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy / autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) therapy
- Stem cell harvesting
- Bone marrow concentrate (BMC)
Most biologics are administered with an injection or series of injections into the damaged area, while some require tissue grafting. In most cases, your surgeon will use fluoroscopy or ultrasound technology to guide injection placement. Based upon your medical history and symptoms, your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment for your needs.

A Marriage Visa permits the foreign national spouse of a United States citizen to travel to the USA and receive a green card. The foreign national spouse will then be a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).
Each party must meet certain minimum qualifications for this immigration benefit. If both the U.S. citizen and the foreign national are eligible, we can help you apply for a Marriage Visa.
If your fiancé or spouse is already in the U.S., there are other options to keep them in the country.
Each case is unique. Call Schober Law, PLLC if you need a Marriage Visa in New York City (212-457-1253).
Marriage Visa Requirements
You must meet the following requirements to qualify for the Marriage Visa:
- You (the “petitioner”) must be a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR with green card).
- Currently, the CR1 Marriage Visa is only available to U.S. citizens. If you are a lawful permanent resident, you may file for an F2A Marriage Visa. It is a similar process but it does take longer.
- You must be married.
- You cannot file for a Marriage Visa until you are married. If your fiancé is outside of the U.S. and you prefer to marry in the U.S., the fiancé visa may be a better option for you.
- You must be able to financially support your spouse in the United States.
- You must meet certain guidelines to show that you can financially support your spouse. If you do not meet the guidelines, you may have another U.S. citizen cosponsor with you or use your financial assets to meet the requirements.
- Your spouse must have obeyed all U.S. immigration laws.
- Certain infractions, such as an illegal entry or overstaying a visa can complicate the process of obtaining a marriage visa. Contact an immigration lawyer at Schober Law, PLLC to discuss your matter (212-457-1253).

13,149 have fallen to gun violence in US this year, calling it just ‘act of evil’ will not help
A man dressed in black tactical-style gear and armed with an assault rifle opened fire inside a church in a small South Texas community, killing 26 people and wounding about 20 others.
No matter how much President Donald Trump may rail on Twitter after each terror attack in the US, Americans are nearly 2,000 times more likely to be killed by a fellow citizen carrying a gun than a terrorist.
The sheer statistics are mind numbing – 52,385 incidents of gun violence with 13,149 fatalities so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. A total of 307 mass shootings (defined by the Gun Violence Archive as incidents in which four or more people have been shot or killed, excluding the shooter).
And two of the five deadliest mass shootings since 1949 have happened in the past 35 days – in other words, on President Trump’s watch. They were the attack on a music festival in Las Vegas by Stephen Paddock that left 58 dead on October 1 and the shooting in a Texas church by Devin Kelley that left 26 dead (28 according to some reports) on November 5.
Since the 9/11 attacks, a total of 103 people have been killed by jihadi terrorists in the US. That’s less than 1% of the total number of people killed by gun violence in each year since 2014.
And yet, the US does very little to control gun ownership and the sale of firearms.
Stephen Paddock, the shooter in Las Vegas whose motive is yet to be determined, bought 33 guns in the 12 months before he targeted concert-goers. Most of the purchases were rifles, and gun stores aren’t even required to report multiple rifle purchases to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
A dozen of his weapons were fitted with “bump stocks”, which allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like fully automatic ones. Again, it is completely legal to sell devices such as bump stocks in the US, which effectively means regulations controlling the sale and ownership of fully automatic weapons have little impact.
Texas, the location of the latest deadly mass shooting, allows its residents to openly carry assault rifles such as the AR-15, a favourite with many of the shooters involved in gun violence.
The right of Americans to bear arms is protected under the second amendment to the US Constitution, which was adopted a mere 15 years after the country became independent in 1776. The amendment states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Clearly, US lawmakers of the era were thinking of the possibility of the need to organise themselves in the event of renewed conflict with the British, from whom they had gained independence, or other oppressors.
It hasn’t helped that the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) has ensured that very little can be done to change this right to bear arms. Republicans, including Trump, have always been reluctant to go against groups such as the NRA, which can influence the outcome of elections.
As with past mass shootings, there will be some reflection and debate on the need to change US gun laws after the Texas church shooting.
But as long as leaders such as Trump are content to just call it an “act of evil” without any mention of the need for a radical change, the spree of mass shootings in the US is unlikely to end anytime soon.

Posted: 6 pm ET
Accusations of wrongdoing during the housing crisis are not going away anytime soon. On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the U.S. government is bringing a civil lawsuit for more than $5 billion against Standard & Poor’s over mortgage bond ratings.
Expectations of the lawsuit caused shares of McGraw-Hill, Standard & Poor’s parent company, to experience its biggest one-day percentage drop since 1987 on Monday. The stock fell 13.8 percent, according to CNBC.
Holder is charging that Standard & Poor’s misled investors with its bond ratings and ignored questions raised by analysts. This is the first federal charge against a ratings agency, but investors apparently believe it might not be the last. According to CNBC, shares of another ratings agency, Moody’s, dropped 10.7 percent Monday on news of the suit against Standard & Poor’s.

This is the second volume of a brand new two-volume collection (published October, 2013) of photographs from Kineo Kuwabara, and the full title can be translated roughly to A Personal View of the Showa Age: The Photographs of Kineo Kuwabara, Volume 2: Post-war Tokyo. (Volume 1 is here.)
Kuwabara began photographing the streets of Tokyo in the early 30s, but was for most of his career better known as the editor of Camera magazine, as well as others. It wasn't until the 1970s that Kuwabara's own work began to be taken more seriously, mainly due to the championing of younger photographers like Nobuyoshi Araki.

Can you get frostbite at 30 degrees?
Frostbite will kick in in under 30 minutes when it’s 5 degrees and the wind’s blowing at 30mph (producing a “feels like” temp of -19 degrees).
Generally speaking, it’ll take hours — if at all — for frostbite to kick in when the temperature is 10 degrees or higher, no matter the wind speed..
How long does it take to get frostbite in degrees?
For example, a temperature of 0°F and a wind speed of 15 mph creates a wind chill temperature of -19°F. Under these conditions frost bite can occur in just 30 minutes.
Is frostbite reversible?
Frostnip is quickly reversible. With frostbite, the skin looks pale, thick and inflexible, and may even blister. In addition, the skin usually feels numb, although there may be minimal sensation to touch.
How do you treat mild frostbite?
For milder cases of frostbite, take over-the-counter ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) to reduce pain and inflammation. For superficial frostbite that has been rewarmed, some people find it soothing to apply aloe vera gel or lotion to the affected area several times a day. Avoid further exposure to cold and wind.
How long does it take to get frostbite in 40 degree weather?
It can result in a loss of feeling and color in affected areas before you even realize how dangerous it’s gotten. Wind chills of 20 to 40 below zero are possible through Thursday morning. At those temperatures, it can take less than 10 minutes to develop frostbite on any exposed skin.
How long does frostbite take to heal?
The recovery time for a frostbite injury depends on the extent of tissue injury and whether or not there are any subsequent complications, such as infection. It may take 1 to 3 months before it is possible to determine the extent of tissue damage, and to clearly delineate which tissue is still viable.
How long does it take to get frostbite in 20 degrees?
Once sub-zero temps hit, it takes about 30 minutes for exposed skin to get frostbite.
Can I get frostbite from an ice pack?
Putting ice or any kind of chemical cold pack—homemade or otherwise—directly on the skin can lead to frostbite in minutes. Ice crystals form in the skin cells and blood flow slows, depriving the tissues of oxygen. As it progresses, the ice burn causes permanent damage to your skin and underlying tissues.
How cold is too cold for a human?
At 91 F (33 C), you can experience amnesia. At 82 F (28 C) you can lose consciousness. Below 70 F (21 C), you are said to have profound hypothermia and death can occur, Sawka said.
Can you get frostbite from cold water?
If you are aware of it early enough and take action, you may be able to avoid getting frostbite. However, frostbite can occur within a couple of minutes of frostnip. Chilblains occur when bare skin is exposed to cold water, or when wet skin cools.
Can you get frostbite in 5 minutes?
Those temps can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as five minutes, the weather service warns.
Can you get frostbite at 40 degrees?
Weather Conditions For example, temperatures around -18 F (-27 C), without windchill, can lead to frostbite on any exposed skin within thirty minutes. And if it plummets to -40 F (-40 C), you’ll only have 10 minutes before the cold damages any exposed skin.
What temperature can you get frostbite at?
Frostbite is damage to skin and tissue caused by exposure to freezing temperatures – typically any temperature below -0.55C (31F). Frostbite can affect any part of your body, but the extremities, such as the hands, feet, ears, nose and lips, are most likely to be affected.
Does it have to be below freezing to get frostbite?
Frostbite is injury to the skin resulting from freezing of the tissue. It occurs only with air temperatures below freezing (below 32 degrees). … Given enough time, wind chill plus evaporative cooling could cause frostbite.
When should I be worried about frostbite?
Possible complications of severe frostbite include infection and nerve damage. (Note: Get emergency help if hypothermia is suspected, which could include symptoms such as intense shivering, slurred speech, drowsiness or loss of coordination.)
Does Frostbite heal on its own?
Many people can recover fully from superficial frostbite. New skin will form under any blisters or scabs. However, some people may have permanent problems that can include pain or numbness in the frostbitten area.
What does the beginning of frostbite look like?
Superficial frostbite appears as reddened skin that turns white or pale. Your skin may begin to feel warm — a sign of serious skin involvement. If you treat frostbite with rewarming at this stage, the surface of your skin may appear mottled. And you may notice stinging, burning and swelling.
What happens if frostbite goes untreated?
If left untreated, the hard, white tissue of mildly frostbitten tissues will become red, then mottled purple; within 24-36 hours, blisters will fill with fluid. Blackening of the affected tissues may take up to 10 days to appear.
Can you get frostbite in 45 degree weather?
With windchill, some areas on the Northeast could reach temperatures as low as -35 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the National Weather Service, which has issued “wind chill watches” for certain locations. At that temperature, frostbite can occur in as little as 10 minutes.
What temp does skin freeze?
For example, a temperature of 0°F and a wind speed of 15 mph will produce a wind chill temperature of -19°F. Under these conditions, exposed skin can freeze in 30 minutes.
What temp can kill you?
Mild or moderate states of fever (up to 105 °F [40.55 °C]) cause weakness or exhaustion but are not in themselves a serious threat to health. More serious fevers, in which body temperature rises to 108 °F (42.22 °C) or more, can result in convulsions and death.
What are the long term effects of frostbite?
Complications from frostbite, especially if left untreated, include growth defects in children, infection, tetanus, gangrene (decay and death of tissue), long-term numbness or permanent loss of sensation in the affected area, changes in the cartilage between joints near the affected area (frostbite arthritis), and …
What temperature is too cold to go outside?
“If the temperature with wind chill factor is 18 degrees below Fahrenheit or lower, it is too cold to be outside,” says Joseph Neel, an athletic trainer with Kettering Health Network. “In those conditions, frostbite can affect exposed skin in 30 minutes or less.

Welcome in Streetsville - The Village in the City of Mississauga!
Streetsville is located on Mississauga Road (Queen Street South) five minutes South of the 401. Mississauga Road becomes 'Queen Street S' in Streetsville.
Within the Streetsville neigbourhood in Mississauga, you will find the highest concentration of the historic buildings in this town. This village has an interesting history in it. in 1818, a man name Timothy Street was given the task of surverying the final acquired tract along the banks of the Credit River that was ceded to the British Government.
In return, Mr. Street was granted 1,000 acres of land in new township, which in 1824 became know as Streetsville. The backbone of the new community was its five major mill sites located along five - mile stretch of the fast - flowing Credit River. By 1850 Streestsville in Mississauga was recognized as "Queen of the County".

Infants maintain a state of positive K balance for growth: 1st 3 months is 1.2mmol/day, 3-12mo is 0.8mmol/day, >1yr is 0.4mmol/day.Discuss routes in (diet and/or IVF or TPN) AND Routes out (poo or pee).
TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT CAUSE K to be FALSELY ELEVATED.Spurious hi K can be from hemolysis, spherocytosis.K also moves out of white cells and platelets after clotting has occurred, so the lab value is usually 0.1-0.5mmol/L higher than true plasma value (which is why a blood gas usually differs from the BMP value). This is rarely significant in most patients, but can be as high as 9mmol/L in patients with marked leukocytosis or thrombocytosis.
The gradient of potassium across the cell membrane is the major determinant of the resting membrane potential, which is the basis for the action potential that is essential for neuronal and muscular function. As the extracellular potassium levels increase in AKI, the gradient and membrane potential are affected, resulting in the clinical signs of muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmias
For either case, STOP THE K GOING IN! (IVF/TPN/enteral)
Hypokalemia can cause: CV: arrhythmias (usu PAC, PVCs), sinus brady, AV block, others; increased SVR Neuromusc: wekaness, cramps, smooth muscle dysfunction (intestinal & urinary) Renal: dec urinary concentrating ability, dec Na excretion, incr renal ammonium production Endo/Metab: negative nitrogen balance (poor growth), glucose intolerance, decreased aldo release and increased renin release
It’s not usually a sodium deficit, but rather too much water.
What happens with hypernatremia: water moves out of cells to establish osmotic equilibrium, and brain cells shrink. Progressive lethargy, even coma. Intracranial bleeding can occur, and is more common in children. The dehydrated, shrunken brain “hangs” by the meninges in the skull which can tear the delicate bridging veins.

As a first time visitor to Chicago, Club Quarters on Wacker at Michigan was a very good choice. The central location provided easy access to most popular Chicago sites, Mag Mile, Millennium Park, Chicago River, Theater District. My husband and I had a river view room on the 21st floor. Although the room was rather small, typical of big city hotels, it was clean, comfortable and had a small refrigerator. The hotel staff at the front desk was friendly, efficient and very accommodating. They provided restaurant recommendations, made reservations at "hard to book" eateries, arranged tickets for us and provided general information that helped make our Chicago visit most enjoyable. We stopped most afternoons at the small cafe on the ground floor for a refreshing drink and/or a snack after a long day of site seeing and before heading out for an evening of good food and entertainment. I look forward to staying again at Club Quarters on our next visit to Chicago.

In 1989, British prime-time soap opera Coronation Street hit the viewership jackpot, drawing more than 26 million viewers with the episode in which bad guy Alan Bradley was struck dead by a Blackpool tram, as seen below:
“Come back, you stupid bitch,” shouts Alan, his last words before Rita Fairclough escapes his clutches at last as Balloon car 710 sends Alan from Lancashire straight to Hell. Personally, I can’t think of a better way for an abusive jerk to meet his end. I keep watching the clip over and over.
Maybe it’s that impulse which has the show’s producers planning a dramatic tram crash cliffhanger this year in connection with Corrie’s 50th anniversary. As announced last week, several characters will die when the show’s signature viaduct collapses, sending a tram crashing down onto the street. Of course, they’re not saying which characters will die. Would you really expect them to when a week’s worth of episodes is on the line? Set to air in December — the show’s anniversary month — the plot will see the events of a single night stretched out over a week.
This time, however, the tragic tram involved won’t be a traditional Blackpool double decker. The show is set in Weatherfield, a fictional Manchester suburb, and the producers are said to be working closely with the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive in connection with the crash plot.
In fact, for several years the opening credits have shown a Manchester Metrolink tram gliding by on the viaduct over the street — initially an AnsaldoBreda unit, but new credits introduced this spring feature one of the system’s new Bombardier Flexity Swift M5000 model cars.
Alan Bradley’s death, meanwhile, brought a whole new cult following to the Blackpool tramway, as Corrie fans made pilgrimages to the seaside to see the spot where he was mowed down.
I am not a soap opera fan, dear readers, but I have been to the spot: In March 2009 I stayed at The Strand Hotel, which starred in the 1989 episode as Rita’s refuge from Alan. It was from outside the North Promenade hotel that he chased her across the street and the tram tracks. In December 2009, the hotel’s owners unveiled a plaque on the 20th anniversary of the event. I did not lay a wreath when I was in Blackpool nine months earlier, but I did enjoy the hotel’s hospitality, seaside views and, of course, trams running beneath my window.
