Stearns County residents can now find information about the County's proposed 2009 budget and levy online. An overview of the budget, along with graphs, charts and budget sheets, are posted on the Stearns County Web site at
www.co.stearns.mn.us. Residents will get a basic summary of the budget, its impact on taxpayers, information about where the money comes from and where it's spent, forces driving the budget, what taxpayers get for their money, goals and priorities, the budget process from creation to adoption and details on how citizens can give their input. "There's good information on the Web site and I hope the public takes advantage of that," commented Commissioner DeWayne
Mareck. "There is still ample time for citizens to tell us what they think of this budget before it gets final approval. We hope this encourages people to give us their feedback on the budget we have proposed."
Citizens have numerous opportunities to give their input on the proposed budget. Although the Board of Commissioners adopted the preliminary budget and levy, the final budget won't be approved until December. At that time, the budget cannot go any higher, but it can be reduced. Comments can be submitted by email to
or mailed to: Stearns County Administration, 705 Courthouse Square, Room 121, St. Cloud MN. 56303. The public can also give their feedback during the Public Access Forum at any regularly scheduled Stearns County Board of Commissioners meetings which are held the first, third and fourth Tuesdays of every month. There is also the Truth-in-Taxation public hearing which will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, in the Administration Center County Board Room. Anyone who would like to see the budget in its entirety can go to the Administrator's office in the Stearns County Administration Center in downtown St. Cloud.

One of the oldest churches of Budapest, a working church, an amazing place for wedding ceremonies, Matthias Church, where you can actually feel and see our history of thousand years in Europe. The church is located on the very top of the Castle hill, in the heart of the Buda Castle District.
There are very few places where you can see both Christian and Muslim ornaments, this church is one of them. It looks shiny and new from the outside, I’m sure you’ll be amazed by its interior too, especially after I reveal all its dark and funny secrets during the Buda Castle Walk. We might also climb to the spire, so that you can enjoy the amazing view from the top of the world. You can admire the stunning roof structure which is decorated by 250.000 ceramic tiles and can also see the church bells.

Sandra Bullock Is People's 'Most Intriguing' Person of 2010
Sarah Palin, Nicki Minaj also made the list, as did Mel Gibson, who ended up in the "Hall of Shame."
Oscar winner Sandra Bullock was singled out from a headline-making crowd of notables that included everyone from James Franco and Natalie Portman to the Chilean minors and tops People's list of the 25 most intriguing people of 2010, reports Reuters. The magazine's special issue hits stands Friday with the star of The Blind Side on its cover.
People's honor as Woman of the Year tops a rocky few months for Bullock, who won an Oscar in March, which was overshadowed a week later by the tabloid-baiting travails of her ex-husband Jesse James' reported infidelities. In August, Forbes listed the 46-year-old star of The Proposal as the highest paid actress in Hollywood.
Among the other talent that made the list are rapper Nicki Minaj and Sarah Palin, who was named the "Big Gun" of 2010.
Actor Mel Gibson made the list, too, under People's celebrity marriage coverage's "Hall of Shame."

How to Generate Cuttings of a Rubber Tree Plant
A rubber tree plant (Ficus elastica), is a stunning houseplant with big, shiny leaves that will soon become a standout among your indoor plant collection. Rubber tree plants aren't difficult to grow, and as long as the rubber tree plant has a good balance of water and light, it will beautify your home environment for many years. Start a plant from a stem cutting, and before you know it, you'll have a brand new rubber tree.
Fill a planting container with clean, coarse sand or a mixture of peat moss and perlite. Set the container in a saucer of water so the potting can absorb water through the drainage hole. Remove the container from the water as soon as the soil is damp. Set the container aside while you prepare the rubber tree cuttings.
Cut a 5- to 6-inch stem from a healthy rubber tree plant. The stem should have at least two leaves, and the cut should be made at an angle, directly under a leaf. Make the cut with a clean razor blade or a sharp knife that has been wiped with rubbing alcohol.
Strip the bottom leaves off the rubber tree stem cutting. Dip the cut end of the stem cutting in rooting hormone. Plant the stem cutting in the potting mixture with the bare stem in the potting mixture and the leaf above (not touching the potting mixture). Use clean scissors to cut the rubber tree leaf in half horizontally. A smaller leaf will result in less moisture loss, and will take up less room in the container.
Put a clear plastic bag over the container. If necessary, put a few sticks in the soil so the plastic doesn't touch the rubber tree leaf. Secure the plastic bag on the planting container with a rubber band.
Place the rubber tree cutting in a sunny, warm spot. Don't put the cutting directly in a sunny window, because the sunlight magnified by the plastic will burn the rubber tree leaf. The plastic bag will retain moisture and the rubber tree cuttings shouldn't require water, but if the potting mixture dries out, loosen the plastic and spray inside the bag.
Check in two to three weeks to determine if the rubber tree plant has taken root. Tug lightly on the rubber tree leaf, and if you feel resistance to the tug, the leaf has rooted. Remove the plastic and move the new rubber tree plant to bright but filtered light, such as a sunny window covered by a sheer curtain. Keep the soil moist.

In video production, stock footage has become an essential resource for creators to add production value to their video projects. However, when using stock, the looming concern of copyright claims can cast a shadow over the entire creative process. (Or immediately derail a popular video you just spent hours perfecting!) When licensing content from Pond5, indemnification provides a crucial safety net and peace of mind. In this article, we’ll explore what indemnification for stock footage is and how it protects buyers.
Indemnification is a form of compensation that supports the buyer if a copyright claim is made against a purchased asset. It’s a promise made by one party to cover potential losses or damages caused by another party. So, in the context of stock footage, this means that if you (the buyer) encounter a legal challenge due to a copyright claim related to a Pond5 asset, Pond5 agrees to pay for the legal costs incurred in defense of the claim, the liability from the claim, and payment of any settlements, up to the amount included in the licensing agreement. You can think of indemnification as monetary protection when you use an asset licensed from Pod5.
The Indemnification Coverage Offered by Pond5
Pond5 offers multiple licensing options, each including specific indemnification coverage amounts. The three main types of licenses are Individual, Business, and Premium. Let’s review each one.
Individual License: provides industry-leading indemnification for up to $15,000, which means that Pond5 will cover legal costs, liability, and settlements up to this amount in the event of a copyright claim. Creators frequently use this license type for social media, sizzle reels, tutorials, video essays, and similar projects. This level of coverage comes with the Individual License item price.
Business License: offers even higher indemnification coverage, up to $250,000. Companies and corporations frequently choose this license for TV broadcasts, regional advertising, and similar projects. The cost of this coverage is the item price + $149.
Premium License: offers the highest protection, up to $1 million. Major production companies and ad agencies often select this license for content going into feature films, national advertising, and similar projects. The cost of this coverage is the item price + $299.
Custom licenses are available if you think your project may require even more indemnification. Check out Pond5’s Guide to Royalty-Free Licensing to learn more about different licensing and media usage types.
Determining the Right Indemnification Level
The choice of indemnification level often depends on the nature of your project and its intended audience. It’s essential to consider the potential risks associated with your project when making this decision. Many businesses require indemnification for stock media as a legal requirement when producing new work. Therefore, it’s vital to assess your project’s scale and potential exposure when choosing the right level of coverage.
Common Questions and Concerns
Buyers often have questions and concerns regarding indemnification for stock footage. If you are in this situation, just contact a helpful Creative Partner who will happily address any questions. Whether you need assistance with the license selection process or have specific questions about indemnification, Pond5’s dedicated team is ready to help. You can also fill out a consultation request form for additional support.
In the ever-evolving world of video editing and production, stock footage increases efficiency and saves time and money. So, understanding indemnification is essential. It provides a safety net for buyers in case of a copyright claim, ensuring that your creative projects can proceed without fearing legal challenges. Pond5 offers robust protection for its users, making it a trusted choice for stock footage licensing. Whether you’re a seasoned video editor or just starting as a content creator, remember that Pond5 has your back with its commitment to indemnification. Create worry-free, knowing that your projects are protected!

The attorney for a St. Paul police officer fired for shooting an unarmed Black man pushed back on Police Chief Todd Axtell’s framing of the encounter, saying the officer had reason to believe the suspect was armed.
Officer Anthony Dean, a six-year veteran of the force, was fired Tuesday for shooting Joseph Javonte Washington, who was wanted in connection with a kidnapping and assault Saturday night.
Axtell denounced Dean’s decision to shoot Washington, leaving him wounded. Without naming him, Axtell described Dean’s actions as neither reasonable nor necessary. As “police officers, we have a duty to use force only when required,” he said, noting that his decision would irreparably change the life of an officer who has “served honorably in the past.”
On Wednesday night, Dean’s attorney, Robert Paule, argued that the officers’ many attempts to de-escalate the situation were not shown in the 42-second clip of body camera footage released to the public.
Axtell did not distribute the video in its entirety; it does show officers deploying Tasers and a K-9 to stop Washington just before shots are fired.
When Washington ran toward police, Dean “discharged his firearm to protect his fellow officers and himself,” Paule said, adding that the suspect claimed to have a gun and “had used a knife earlier that evening in a violent assault and rape.”
No weapons were visible in the body camera footage and investigators never found any at the scene.
Paule asked that people withhold judgment until the investigation is completed.
Earlier Wednesday, the St. Paul Police Federation defended Dean’s record, touting his accomplishments on and off the force.
“Officer Dean has led an exemplary career as a law enforcement officer, and has received recognition and accolades for his compassion, commitment to community, and his mentorship of youth in St. Paul,” President Paul Kuntz said in a statement.
Dean, a lifelong St. Paulite and Central High School graduate, served eight years in the Marine Corps before joining the department in 2014. He was most recently assigned to the department’s Gang and Gun Unit.
After just one year patrolling the city’s Central District, Cmdr. Kurt Hallstrom nominated him as Minnesota American Legion’s officer of the year.
Dean has been the subject of three internal affairs investigations since 2015, each of which closed without formal discipline. One additional case related to Saturday’s North End shooting remains open.
Personnel records also show that he received three commendations in recent years, including a Life Saving Award for talking a suicidal woman off the railing of a bridge last spring. Axtell then praised him for his “professionalism and empathy” in a chaotic situation.
Two other letters of recognition applaud his work recovering firearms in the gang unit and solving a robbery.
Meanwhile, some Black community leaders and organizations like the St. Paul NAACP have applauded Axtell’s quick decision to fire Dean.
“[We expect] to see a thorough and prompt BCA investigation of this incident and appropriate consequences and accountability toward the officer involved,” said the Rev. Richard Pittman, the NAACP chapter president. “The St. Paul NAACP and all citizens of conscience expect that members of the public do not face the threat of being shot or killed when apprehended or stopped by law enforcement.”

McBride bids farewell to JD
Published 1:58 am Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Jefferson Davis Community College’s faculty and supporters celebrated the retirement of President Susan McBride Monday.
“This is a celebration because of all of the wonderful things she has done for the college,” said Hermine Downing, secretary of the JDCC Foundation.
Downing said McBride had used “diplomacy, wisdom, gentleness and kindness” to lead JDCC for the past 11 years.
McBride announced her retirement last month; she will be moving to Arizona to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren.
Dean of Instruction Kathleen Hall has been named interim president.
Hall told McBride that “words cannot express” how much she had done for the college.
“We are going to miss her deeply,” Hall said. “But anybody who is a grandmother or grandfather knows how special they are.”
McBride joked that she was sure when she interviewed for the position as president nearly 12 years ago that she “didn’t think they were going to hire a Yankee lady at Jefferson Davis,” but she was honored to have served at the school.
“This has been a wonderful experience for me,” she said. “A lot of people are giving me credit, but there are a lot of people in this room who were doing a fantastic job at this school before I came. All I did was take a magnifying glass to focus on what JD was doing for our students and our community. We have a saying around here that ‘those people in Montgomery aren’t sending us money for anything but students.’ Every decision we make is for the good of the students.”

Placer County's Newest Little Free Library
The public is invited to attend a ceremony Wednesday, May 7 to celebrate Placer County's newest Little Free Library.
This Little Free Library, located in an Auburn neighborhood, has been recognized as a Little Free Library of Distinction for its unique design, creative outreach efforts, and the enthusiasm of its steward, Terri Goodman.
In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone can pick up a book and leave a book to share. According to Goodman, a retired school teacher who loved to read to her students, the Little Free Library in front of her home is a perfect way for her to continue to celebrate books and the enjoyment of reading. "I always told my students, 'I could pitch a tent in a library and be happy the rest of my life,' " she said.
This Little Free Library of Distinction is called Marianne's Little Free Library, named for Terri Goodman's dear friend Marianne, a former fellow teacher, who contracted Encephalitis and struggles with serious health issues as a result. "If ever there was anyone who deserves a library named after them, it is Marianne," Terri said.
Miriam Chipp, President of the Literacy Support Council of Placer County, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to raise funds for the Placer Adult Literacy Services (PALS), said Little Free Libraries like the one in Terri Goodman's front yard are beginning to appear throughout Placer County. Serving as an extension of local libraries these "take a book, return a book" kiosks offer multiple benefits for those who visit them, including providing a variety of reading material, and acting as a distribution site for information about literacy programs for people of all ages. "There are so many aspects to these little boxes," Miriam Chipp said. "They are a great way to bring communities together and they also provide resources for people who want to learn to read."
The ceremony celebrating Marianne's Little Free Library will take place at 10:30 a.m. at the home of Terri Goodman at 215 Terrace Street in Auburn. The event is sponsored by the Placer County Library and Literacy Support Council of Placer County. A nonprofit group, Little Free Library Ltd., started the "Little Free Library" movement in 2009. Stewards typically oversee the operation of Little Free Libraries, but the public is encouraged to informally borrow and donate books.

1.4 CHEMICAL SCIENCES
This thesis presents a study of the effect of chemical modifiers and dopants on both the anatase to rutile transformation and also the photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductor nanomaterials. The main focus of the work is based on the crystallisation and phase transformation of the widely investigated semiconductor metal oxide, titanium dioxide (TiO2) Of the three polymorphs associated with titanium dioxide, anatase is widely regarded as the most effective photocatalyst. Typically anatase will transform to rutile in the temperature range 600 – 700 °C however, modification of a titanium precursor with a chelating agent can result in extended transformation temperature. The effect of employing various concentrations of formic acid and water on phase transition is systematically studied by XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy (Chapter 3). Retention of anatase (41%) at increased temperatures (800 °C) and 10% at 900 °C is achieved at optimum conditions. On comparison, a control sample prepared without modification with formic acid show rutile formation at 600 °C. FTIR and Raman studies indicate that a bridging titanium-formate structure is formed upon addition of titanium isopropoxide to formic acid. It is proposed that under different reaction conditions, a syn-syn or synanti bridging structure is favoured. It is concluded that the syn-anti bridging structure hinders cross linking of the metal oxide oligomer network, resulting in a weakened structure, facilitating low temperature rutile formation when compared with the syn-syn binding mode which forms a more ordered network, stabilising anatase at increased temperatures. Using the optimum formic acid, titanium isopropoxide molar ratios (TTIP:FA:H2O, 1:4:4) obtained in chapter 3, silver (1, 3 and 5 mol %) was added to the system and the effects are reported (chapter 4). Through XRD it is shown that silver lowers the anatase to rutile transformation temperature. Samples calcined at 700 °C show that 5 mol % Ag-TiO2 contains both anatase (46%) and rutile (54%), whereas the undoped TiO2 consists primarily of anatase (95%). At 800 °C all silver containing samples transform to rutile but the undoped sample consists of both anatase (55%) and rutile (45%). XPS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy show that incorporation of silver causes a reduction in the intensity of the COO- stretches associated with the titanium formate bridging structure indicating that the metal oxide complex is weakened in the presence of silver. XPS analysis show that Ag0 and Ag2O had formed on the titania-formate surface prior to calcination (> 100 °C) indicating that photo-oxidation of silver has occurred. It is concluded that the presence of silver (Ag0 and Ag2O) hindered bridging ligands, resulting in a weakened gel network. This structurally weak network could easily collapse upon calcination to form rutile. Titanium dioxide doped with aluminium also shows extended transformation temperatures. In chapter five, aluminium, silver, nitrogen, and sulfur are used to dope titanium dioxide powders. Addition of 1 mol % aluminium resulted in the retention of anatase (87%) at 900 °C and even at 1000 °C, anatase (20%) is still present as seen from XRD. Nitrogen doped titanium dioxide is synthesised using 1, 3-diaminopropane as a nitrogen source. Visible light absorption of nitrogen doped titanium dioxide is seen through diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and it is shown that increased amounts of nitrogen do not result in greater visible light absorbance. Addition of silver to N-TiO2 result in increased photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation, 9.9 x 10-2 min-1 compared to N-TiO2 without silver (9.6 x 10-2 min-1) which is accredited to a reduction in recombination. Dimethysulfoxide and sodium thiosulfate are investigated as sources for sulfur doping of TiO2. Sodium thiosulfate produces S-TiO2 that is highly photoactive (43.1 x 10-2 min-1) compared to S-TiO2 synthesised from dimethylsulfoxide (8.4 x 10-2 min-1). A combination of sodium thiosulfate and 1, 3 diaminopropane for N, S co-doped TiO2 resulted in the formation of sodium titanates. Through FTIR and Raman spectroscopy it is shown that both nitrogen atoms from 1, 3-diaminopropane chelate to a single titanium metal centre. 1, 3-diaminopropane is also found to cause retention of sodium during the sol-gel synthesis leading to the formation sodium titanate. TiO2/ZnO hybrid materials show enhanced photocatalytic efficiency through the formation of heterojunctions where excited electrons migrate from TiO2 to ZnO, delaying recombination. Chapter six describes a sol-gel synthesis of ZnO/TiO2 hybrid. A number of molar ratios of zinc precursor to titanium precursor are investigated. Anatase, rutile and zinc oxide are formed from the sol-gel synthesis but it is found that zinc titanate phases dominated the material structures. Through XRD it is shown that when the titanium precursor is in excess over the zinc precursor, high percentages of anatase (at initial calcination temperatures 400 – 700 °C) and rutile are formed. Zinc metatitanate forms at ~ 600 °C. The samples with excess titanium precursor show high percentages of zinc metatitanate at temperatures 700 – 900 °C and at 1000 °C there is an almost 1:1 conversion of zinc metatitanate to zinc orthotitanate. For samples where zinc precursor is in excess, zinc oxide is the dominant phase at low calcination temperatures (400 – 600 °C) but at increased temperatures (> 700 °C), Zn2Ti3O8 is formed. The Zn2Ti3O8 undergoes ~1:1 phase transformation to form zinc orthotitanate at 1000 °C. Raman and FTIR show the formation of titanium oxalate and zinc oxalate coordinated structures. These are believed to form infinite chains that may combine during crystallisation to form zinc titanate structures. In summary, the results shown in the current study have shown how strongly the synthesis conditions can affect the crystalline behaviour of metal oxide materials. A greater understanding of the synthesis of these materials can contribute to the wide area of semiconductor research.

The potato seedlings I'm growing from some "Purple Potato Seed" I got a couple of years ago are doing great! This was seed that got thrown in as an extra in an online seed trade. I tried to grow some of them last year, and none of them made it, so I went ahead and planted the rest this year. Honestly, at this point I don't even remember where I got them from.
Now I have more than 50 healthy potato seedlings! And here I was thinking I'd be lucky to end up with just a few.
Most people plant potatoes using "seed potatoes" which are not the same thing as "potato seeds". Seed potatoes are tubers that you cut up and plant, so you end up with genetically identical clones. This is great if uniformity is what you want, but if you want to genetic diversity, you need to let your potatoes have sex.
Planting potato tubers, just like taking cuttings from a plant, is asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for the genes of the parent plants to recombine into new varieties. Potatoes have a lot of genes to recombine too, since they're tetraploids. That means they have four sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two, so there's even more combinations you can get in the offspring than with a diploid organism (like we are).
In a nutshell, when you let your potatoes flower, have sex, and produce fruits with seeds, each seed is genetically unique, and all your plants are going to be different from each other.
My goal in growing potatoes from seed is to find which of my genetically individual plants do the best for me, and start growing them again year to year, eventually resulting in the evolution of potatoes that actually grow well in my climate. Which is kind of a tall order considering how Central Texas is not potato country at all. Potatoes prefer cool weather and loose, acidic soil, but maybe out of my 50 plants, I'll find at least one that actually does all right in my alkaline rocky clay soil, and can produce a good crop of tubers before May, when it starts to get hot. I can then name my new potato whatever I want and become famous for developing a potato variety just for Central Texas! (Or something like that.)
Here are the potato seedlings in the new plot getting watered with a soaker hose. I got another sack of cheap dog food and mixed it into the soil for fertilizer. One thing I noticed while tilling is that the soil in the front yard is much less rocky than the back. I wonder if it will turn out to actually be a better spot for growing things. I just hope the deer don't find them. Potato leaves are supposed to be poisonous, but it probably just depends on how hungry the deer get. I have another bale of moldy hay I'm going to mulch them with.
From what I've read about potato seedlings, I shouldn't expect to get a good harvest this year, but I might get some small tubers I can save and re-plant next year, just like regular seed potatoes. I'm really getting my hopes up since so many of them already had little tubers in their pots before they even went in the ground. Hopefully those will just keep getting bigger.
It's also possible for them to flower and produce another generation of potato seeds, giving me further opportunity for breeding Texas-adapted potatoes.
And I do have the potatoes I planted from tubers in the back: Purple Viking and Red Pontiac. I just noticed yesterday that they're starting to sprout. Both of those varieties are supposed to be better for warm climates, so we'll see. Maybe I'll get a good crop from them to tide me over until my seedling potatoes start giving good crops.

Local operatic trailblazer Marie Cantoni passed away on Oct. 28 at the age of 86.
Cantoni founded the Regina Opera Company in 1970 with her neighbor, Nick Tierno, after she learned that Tierno’s brother sang opera as a tenor and had no place to perform. Cantoni went on to transform the company into a renowned local favorite, beloved by both Brooklynites and opera-lovers beyond the borough alike for its affordable pricing and professional productions — which gained acclaim even in their school-auditorium venues.
Cantoni and Tierno began staging small concerts at the Regina Pacis Youth Center in Dyker Heights, staging their first full opera — Giuseppe Verdi’s three-act “La Traviata” — to piano accompaniment in 1971. But over time, the company grew to regularly draw crowds of around 300 people to classic productions like “Madame Butterfly,” “Marriage of Figaro,” and “Carmen.”
The company even attracted now-famous singers to its stage before they got their professional starts: Dolora Zajick, who went on to become an acclaimed mezzo-soprano with the Metropolitan Opera, tested out her lungs with the Regina Opera in 1980, before it even featured a full orchestra.
The company also became known for presenting operas in their original languages and projecting their own unofficial English translations above the stage for audiences to follow during the shows — a practice not commonly found outside of performances staged by the Metropolitan or New York City operas, according to Cantoni. And even when the company faced tough times and was on the verge of closing in the 1970s and ’80s, the heritage of the Dyker Heights neighborhood that Cantoni called home helped her and her performers sustain their success over time, she told this paper in 2010.
“You do a show where you sing Italian opera in an Italian neighborhood — the people just come,” Cantoni said.
Cantoni joined three older siblings when she was born at her Brooklyn home on 75th Street between 11th and 12th avenues in November 1930. She went on to attend PS 176 and New Utrecht High School. In 1957, she married her first-grade sweetheart, Matthew Cantoni, and soon gave birth to her daughter Linda in 1958. Her son Mark followed two years later.
Cantoni stayed involved with the Regina Opera Company, directing it as a labor of love — for which she was never paid — until she retired a few years ago. Her daughter, Linda, began directing operas at the company in 1986, and now serves on the board of directors and as the executive vice president, secretary, and legal advisor.
Marie Cantoni told the Brooklyn Paper that her love for opera began as a child, when she would listen to radio performances by the Metropolitan Opera with her mother.
“Every Saturday morning, my mother and I would listen to ‘Live from the Met’ on the radio — this was in the 1930s,” she said. “My mother would translate the singing for us. I was 6- or 7-years-old, and I enjoyed the music. It was exciting, and could be touching.”
And according to Cantoni’s daughter, Linda, even though her mother was too shy to appear on stage, she threw herself into her work any other way she could.
“Mom did just about everything for the company except sing — casting, scenery, set decoration, furniture, props, costumes, accounting, publicity, box office, administration — you name it,” she said. “She was amazingly creative and could draw, paint, sew and wield a hammer with the best of them.”
Cantoni said in 2010 that she doubted her idea to start the Regina Opera Company from the beginning, but that her work ethic and love for the art of opera kept her in it for the long haul.
“Me, start an opera company?” she said. “I thought it was crazy, I can’t even read music! But I loved it and I was willing to work hard.”
If you missed catching a performance with the Regina Opera Company in Cantoni’s heyday, have no fear, for the show must go on. You can catch the company’s performance of the same show they started with 46 years ago, “La Traviata,” on four dates in November in Sunset Park.

Fikile Mbalula got more than he bargained for when he asked South Africans to caption a photo of himself with two traffic officers.
On Monday, Fikile Mbalula shared a photo of himself working. The image shows Mbalula at a road block with two traffic cops.
"Caption!" - he simply wrote and Mzansi did not disappoint.
Social media users had no chill in with their responses, even Robert Marawa chipped in.
"Airbags safely deployed."
Social media user, Tumi Selepe, commented:
"This one definitely doesn't give traffic fines, he wants cold drinks."
Twitter user, @SelemaRamogale_, added:
"Two and a half man."
Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za reported earlier Mbalula has scolded those in Mzansi who fail to make use of their safety belts. Mbalula recently joined in at Gauteng's De Hoek Toll Plaza where road safety operations took place.
Mbalula also called on the youth in South Africa to stay safe on the roads after learning statistics show people between the ages of 20 and 34 constitute the majority of those who die in accidents.

Playboy's Miss October 1993, who once dated A-lister Jim Carrey, said on the red carpet of Sunday's American Music Awards that her next suitor could come from the dating website Match.com.
The gorgeous blonde told reporters she did not reveal personal data (like her real name) on the site, and that her profile wouldn't easily be found.
McCarthy, 39, said she “checked the men [she likes] between 35 to 48” years old on the site.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, McCarthy has complained in the past that she can't find suitable boyfriend material in her hometown of Los Angeles.
When asked what she likes in a guy, the beautiful blonde kept it simple: "Just a nice guy, you know?"
"I mean, I don't know. It's so hard out here [in L.A.]. The guys are like chicks out here," she said. "There's no real guy guys, so maybe importing from somewhere will be smart. Anyone not from L.A. I think."

You love the idea of solar energy. It’s renewable, it’s sustainable, and it seems like the perfect solution to climate change. But why aren’t solar panels everywhere? Why isn’t solar energy the default? The answer, it turns out, is complicated. In this article, we’ll explore some of the reasons solar energy isn’t more widespread. We’ll talk about the economics of solar energy, the available power grid infrastructure, and the capacity factor of solar energy. By the end of this article, you’ll have a better understanding of why solar energy isn’t more widespread and what needs to change for it to become the default.
So, why aren t solar panels everywhere?
There are a number of reasons why solar panels are not more widespread. One reason is that the available power grid infrastructure was built to work with consistent power generation levels, and these grids may not be able to cope with the inconsistency of solar energy. Another factor that reduces the competitiveness of solar energy is how often electricity is produced; also known as its capacity factor. Solar panels also require a lot of maintenance, and their efficiency can degrade over time.
Let’s dig into it and see what we can learn.
How Many Solar Panels Are In Use Today?
According to estimates, there are at least 92.7 billion solar panels in use around the world, with the average U.S. home having 20 panels installed.
There are several reasons why solar panels aren’t more widespread, including the upfront cost of installation and the fact that some areas simply don’t get enough sunlight to make them a viable option. However, the cost of solar panels has been dropping steadily in recent years, and with advances in technology, it’s likely that we’ll see even more homes and businesses making the switch to solar in the future.
According to estimates, there are at least 92.7 billion solar panels in use around the world.
How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?
How much do solar panels cost?
Solar panels are a great way to save on energy costs, but they can be pricey. The average cost to install solar panels in the United States is about $12,000 after federal tax incentives. On the low end, you can install a system for $3,500 to $5,000, while on the high end, you could pay up to $35,000. Solar panel costs for homes vary depending on the size and type of system you install.
Solar panels cost an average of $12,000 to install in the United States after federal tax incentives.
Is Solar Power The Best Alternative To Fossil Fuels?
Solar power is a renewable energy source that is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to fossil fuels. There are several reasons for this: solar power is emissions-free, it’s a sustainable source of energy, and it’s becoming more and more affordable.
Despite these advantages, solar power still only supplies a tiny fraction of the world’s energy needs. One of the biggest obstacles to solar power becoming more widespread is its up-front cost. Solar panels are a significant investment, and many people are hesitant to make that investment without knowing how long it will take to pay off.
Another obstacle to solar power becoming more widespread is its intermittency. Solar power is only available when the sun is shining, which means that it can’t provide a constant source of energy. This is a big problem for utilities, who need to be able to rely on a consistent source of power.
Despite these obstacles, solar power is still the most promising alternative to fossil fuels. With continued technological advances and decreasing costs, solar power is likely to play an increasingly important role in the world’s energy mix.
Yes, solar power is the best alternative to fossil fuels because it is emissions-free, sustainable, and becoming more affordable.
What Are The Benefits Of Solar Power?
Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source that has a wide range of benefits for both individuals and businesses. Perhaps the most obvious benefit of solar power is that it can help to reduce your electricity bills, as you will be generating your own power rather than relying on the grid. Solar power can also help to increase the value of your home, as it is seen as an energy-efficient improvement. In addition, solar power can help to reduce your carbon footprint as it does not produce greenhouse gases. Finally, solar power is a great option for those who live in remote areas as it does not require a connection to the grid.
Solar power has a wide range of benefits, including reducing electricity bills, increasing the value of your home, reducing your carbon footprint, and being a great option for those who live in remote areas.
What Are The Drawbacks Of Solar Power?
There are a few reasons why solar power isn’t more widely used. One of the biggest reasons is the cost. Solar panels are expensive to install, and the initial investment can be a deterrent for some people. Additionally, solar panels are not 100% efficient. They only convert a portion of the sunlight that hits them into usable energy. And finally, solar panels are not mobile. Once they are installed, they are difficult to move. This can be a problem if you decide to move or if you need to reposition the panels to maximize their efficiency.
The drawbacks of solar power include the cost of installation and the lack of mobility of the panels. Additionally, solar panels are not 100% efficient in converting sunlight to usable energy.
Why Is Solar Energy Not Widespread?
The primary reason why solar energy is not more widespread is due to the expensive cost of solar panels and related equipment. Solar power also suffers from inconsistent availability, as the sun does not always shine, especially at night. These two factors have prevented solar power from becoming a more utilized energy source, despite its potential.
Can Solar Power Be Used Everywhere?
No, solar power cannot be used everywhere. The reason is that solar panels need direct sunlight to generate electricity, and there are many places on Earth that do not get direct sunlight all the time, such as at night or during cloudy days. However, solar power can be used in most places, and it is a very promising renewable energy source.
Why Don’T We Use Solar Energy More?
There are a number of reasons why solar energy isn’t used more widely. One reason is that it is not always reliable. Another reason is that solar panels are not always efficient. A third reason is that renewable energy often has trouble creating the same amount of power that fossil fuels make. Finally, solar energy is not always available.
What They Don T Tell You About Solar Panels?
Solar panels have a number of disadvantages that people don’t often talk about. These include the high cost of installation, the need for regular maintenance, the production of hazardous materials, and the negative impact on home value.
Do You Regret Installing Solar Panels?
No, the person writing this detailed summary does not regret installing solar panels.
- Why Solar Panels Are Bad?: Solar panels are bad for the environment because they require more energy and fossil fuel-burning equipment to mine, manufacture, and transport than they save. Additionally, solar panels are made with toxic chemicals that can harm the environment, and they are difficult to recycle. Finally, solar energy doesn’t work at night and can be unreliable in cloudy or rainy weather.
- Where Are Solar Cells Not Being Used?: Solar cells are not currently being used to their full potential. While they are able to provide electricity, they are not very efficient at doing so. Additionally, solar cells are not being used to power mowers or provide hot water. However, they are being used to power spaceships.
- What Are Some Reasons To Get Solar Panels?: Solar panels can offer a number of benefits, including extending the life of your roof, reducing your monthly electric bill, and increasing the value of your home.
- Will Solar Panels Eventually Become Obsolete?: Solar panels will not become obsolete in the near future, but eventually they will need to be replaced. solar panel recycling companies are working to make the process more efficient and reduce waste.
It is evident that there are many reasons why solar panels are not everywhere. However, with the right policies in place, and the right investments made, it is possible for solar energy to become a more significant player in the energy market.


There isn’t a single legitimate study proving that spending more money caused achievement to improve (proving causation is much different than believing in the notion), but that’s the underlying premise of KASB’s spending and achievement claims. Money matters, but it’s how money is spent that can make a difference, and achievement will remain stubbornly low for many students until (1) enough parents understand the true nature of achievement in Kansas, and then (2) pressure legislators to hold school boards accountable.
The refutation of their spending claims below compliments our rebuttal of another KASB falsehood, asserting that Kansas has the ninth-highest academic achievement in the nation. KASB’s claim, unfortunately, isn’t true; national performance rankings on the ACT and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) range from the mid-teens to the low 30s. Overall, Kansas is about average in a nation that doesn’t do very well.
KASB deceptive claims on inflation
KASB contends that most of the $1 billion school funding increase added over the last three legislative sessions “…will only replace purchasing power lost to inflation since 2009.” Their conclusion is distorted by restating prior years’ funding in constant 2018 dollars. The screengrab below shows 1992 spending of a little over $2 billion was restated to more than $4 billion, giving the appearance that funding was below inflation-adjusted levels until 2018.
In reality, spending has grown much faster than inflation since 1992. The per-pupil inflation comparison shown next also accounts for the increase in enrollment, and it adds KPERS funding to reported totals from 1992 through 2004 (KPERS is included in the reported numbers since 2005).
The blue line shows per-pupil actual funding of $5,416 in 1992 would have grown to $9,370 in 2018 if just increased for inflation; actual funding of $13,620 was, therefore, $4,250 per-pupil above inflation last year.
Estimates provided by the Department of Education and Kansas Legislative Research shows funding will grow to $15,854 per-pupil in 2023 and be $5,551 above long-term inflation. Actual funding will likely be higher because the KSDE / KLRD estimates assume no increase in federal funding and very little change in local funding.
Below the national average
KASB says per-pupil funding has fallen behind the national average since 2009, but Kansas has always been behind the national average, and more important, comparing spending to the national average is a meaningless measure of whether schools are educating students. And with Kansas’ cost of living being lower than the national average, spending should be below average.
But rest assured, Kansas is above the national average on some measures KASB didn’t mention:
- #6 in debt per-student
- #9 in capital spending per-student
- #11 in cash per-student
- #15 in state aid per-student
School board entitlement mentality
KASB says school spending will be a lower share of total personal income than in prior decades, which merely reflects an entitlement mentality; local school boards believe they are entitled to a share of Kansans’ income. That aside, personal income as calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis includes things that aren’t available for paying taxes, like employer contributions to retirement, health insurance and social security, and government transfer payments. By pushing this entitlement narrative, your local school board is effectively asking you to pony up more taxes for them if the cost of your health insurance goes up and your employer picks up part of the cost. Government transfer payments include things like Medicaid, the Children’s’ Health Insurance Program (CHIP), welfare payments, and unemployment benefits; as these costs increase, your local school board thinks you should have to pay higher taxes so they get a pay increase!
But an honest comparison of personal income elements available to pay taxes shows school spending increased 182 percent since 1992, while personal income available to pay taxes grew by 180 percent. If local school boards and administrators really believe school funding should be a percentage of personal income, they would have asked for a funding cut between 2001 and 2011 when school spending was growing much faster than income to pay taxes. Instead, they sued you for more money.

Motorcycle-riding gunmen killed a businesswoman in Cabugao town in Ilocos Sur on Wednesday, July 29.
CCTV footage recorded the attack on 46-year-old entrepreneur Eileen Joy Paat Paligutan, who had just got into her vehicle at the parking lot of a construction store at Barangay Baclig in Cabugao, when the incident happened.
According to the investigating officer, Police Corporal Andres Mondero, the assailants were waiting for Paligutan, and when she boarded her vehicle, one of the men walked to her vehicle, stood at the driver side, and shot her repeatedly.
The assassins then fled on their motorcycle.
Paligutan was brought first to the Pira Clinic and Hospital and then at the Northside Doctor’s Hospital where she later died.
Mondero said that a .45 caliber pistol was used based on the slugs found on the scene.
Mondero said that according to their investigation, the murder could stem from a land dispute.
The incident happened weeks after a 15-year-old girl was shot dead in the same town by riding-in-tandem gunmen. The girl had just filed a molestation complaint against a cop from a neighboring town when she was killed on July 12. – Rappler.com


Just a few hours after Motorola launched its Moto G4 budget smartphone, freshly leaked info about its upcoming flagship is making waves on the internet.
According to prolific leaker Evan Blass at Venturebeat, Motorola is adopting the 'Z' moniker for its flagship phones replacing the 'X'. That's exactly opposite of Sony which ended its Z series of the flagship and introduced X series this year.
As per the report, Motorola is working on two flagship phones which will sport 5.5-inch displays. These two phones will be called Vertex and Vector Thin. To keep the familiarity, Motorola is planning to use Moto Z Style (like Moto X Style last year) for Vector Thin and Moto Z Play (like Moto X Play) for Vertex.
The change in the branding goes all the way to the carrier branded phones. In the United States, Motorola has been selling its phones on Verizon with DROID moniker. With the upcoming version, even this is expected to change and will be in line with the global naming convention.
Motorola might end up using new names such as Moto Z Style Droid editions for Verizon's phones. Perhaps, Motorola was the only major brand which allowed its phones to be rebranded. Other makers like Samsung, LG stopped doing so long ago while Apple never faced such an issue for iPhone.
Furthermore, the modules which Lenovo and Motorola are planning for their modules were known as 'Amps'. Those too will now be called MotoMods instead.
Lenovo's Tech World Show will kick off in San Fransico on June 9 when we will know more about everything. Till then expect a stream of leaks coming out every few days with exciting details on Moto's upcoming phones.

Sidewalks Provide a Sense of Community
The Benefits of Walkable Neighborhoods
Some might say that a sidewalk is like the front steps to a community. Much like the front steps to a household, a sidewalk leads us straight to the entrance of local doctors offices, retail shops, and even our neighbors’ homes – sidewalks are the paths of a community. Canton, NC is the perfect example of a walkable community with its sidewalks twisting, turning and climbing through neighborhoods for miles. This small town really encompasses the community feel and that’s why Green Key Neighborhoods is proud to build healthy homes there. Our homes meet the sidewalks which welcome new business owners with open arms; providing plenty of room for retail displays or outdoor patio furniture for enjoying a meal or drink outside.
Health and Wellness Benefits
People who live in walkable neighborhoods are more likely to be active than those who do not live near sidewalks.
On a nice day, those who have the choice to walk or drive a short distance will more than likely walk when a sidewalk is nearby. This decreased use of cars in the community lowers emissions and is better for the environment as well as the humans in it.
Sidewalks improve access to businesses, parks, and other industries for those relying on public transportation. This saves individuals money and provides health benefits to most.
Due to more foot traffic where there are sidewalks, crime risks reduce. In other words, where there are more witnesses walking around, crimes will less likely be acted out.
Benefits to Homeowners
Say there were two homes for sell beside one another. These two homes are similar in size, layout, and style. One has a sidewalk in front and the other house is located past where the sidewalk ends. The home by the sidewalk not only sells for more but it will also sell faster. This is a goal for every one of Green Key Neighborhoods’ properties – to be located in a walkable neighborhood.
Some like the quiet life in the country and hey, we respect that! But those people have to come into town at some point and what’s better than strolling the sidewalks in town on a crisp Friday night looking in the storefronts on the way to dinner with friends on the patio at Southern Porch who walked to meet you from their home at Overlook Park.

Effect of using external vertical fins in phase change material modules for domestic hot water tanks
MetadataShow full item record
The effect of using external vertical fins in Phase Change Materials (PCM) modules to improve the natural convection coefficient in water is studied in this paper. The use of PCM in a water tank working with a solar system is able to store a lot of energy, but it is necessary to transfer this energy to the water during demand. Optimization of the natural convection to the water is of great importance for the heat transfer. External fins increase the heat transfer surface and the heat transfer coefficient changes. Experimental work was carried out to determine natural convection heat transfer coefficients for PCM modules with two different external vertical fin geometries. Results were presented as a temperature variation over time of the PCM and the water, and the heat transfer coefficient as a function of the temperature difference for different fins. These results were used to validate a simulation code to determine the behaviour of the system using finned PCM modules. The results prove the technical potential of external fins for heat storage systems using PCM. The experimental results were used to determine different correlations for Nusselt number as a function of different dimensionless numbers.

Community comes together to support Macmillan coffee event
The community came together last week to show support for Macmillan by taking part in the charity's World's Biggest Coffee Morning event.
Organisations, clubs and care homes hosted events to help raise funds for specialist healthcare services and support for those living with cancer.
Residents, staff and visitors at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home in Chichester held a coffee morning on Friday, raising more than £40. On the same day, Chichester Yacht Club hosted a coffee and cake morning, raising more than £1,000. Arun Indoor Bowls Club also held its coffee morning on Friday, raising a grand total of £1,282. The event also featured a raffle with prizes donated by members and local tradespeople.
Chichester’ Pallant House Gallery hosted its seventh annual Macmillan Coffee Morning, with staff and volunteers baking their own cakes to raise donations.
Chichester care home Wellington Grange featured a Willy Wonka style coffee morning. Among the cakes and pastries served to visitors was a special ‘golden cupcake’, containing a hidden layer of edible gold leaf. The lucky recipient, resident Catherine Perschke, won a bottle of bubbly and is now in a £500 prize draw for shopping vouchers and a Colten Care donation to Macmillan on her behalf. Around 100 people, including residents’ families, community contacts and the Mayor and Mayoress of Chichester, attended.The fun alsoincluded watching three members of staff brave various body shaves.
The coffee morning held at Petworth’s Leconfield Hall raised £1,600 for Macmillan.
Other events were hosted at Church Farm at Old Park Lane in Bosham, which also featured musical entertainment by Alexis Twine, and at Tamarisk Lodge in East Wittering.
