I think every kid in southwestern Ohio took a field trip to Serpent Mound sometime during their school years. Serpent Mound is the largest, best-preserved ancient animal effigy in the world and we are lucky enough to live less than a two hours’ drive away from it.
I distinctly remember walking around the serpent-shaped mounds as a child, wondering how many bodies were buried beneath them. There’s an observation tower you can climb for a bird’s-eye view, but this is where my memory gets cloudy. I could have sworn when you climbed to the top you could see the entire serpent-shaped mound. I thought that sometime in the past I’d even taken pictures from there. But this time, that wasn’t possible. You could still see most of the shape, but you couldn’t get a picture of the entire thing. I don’t know whether they moved the observation tower, or lowered it, or whether I just had a better imagination as a kid and thought I could see the whole thing from there.
Regardless, it’s a sight to behold and consider.
Ohio is rich with Native American history. No one knows for sure which tribe erected this mound or whether it was several tribes that inhabited southwestern Ohio working together. Two other mounds nearby belong to the Adena and Fort Ancient tribes, so it’s likely that they had something to do with Serpent Mound.
The serpent’s coils, most notably the serpent’s head, is in perfect alignment with the direction of the setting solstice sun. Many historians and archeologists believe that Serpent Mount was the site of sacred ceremony.
Blame it on my schooling, but I always associate Indians with Fall and usually make the trek to Serpent Mound as the leaves are changing color. As Thanksgiving draws near, that’s how it all fits together in my mind — Indians, Fall, and Thanksgiving; cemented together since childhood and what I learned in school.
Are there aspects of Native American life that fascinate you?
I can’t compare it to very many, but the shape of this one and all the work it took to create and maintain it fills me with awe.
Your bike trip is amazing. Dodging a tornado is only one small adventure in the grander scheme of things. I encourage everyone to relive this experience through your blog.
More likely, it was my imagination. But I feel like we really could see the whole serpent shape at one point. I should do more research.
That very well could be. It’s funny how reality and memory go askew.
Maybe the trees & vegetation grew in the meantime? What a fascinating link to the past. I’d rather remember (or rather visualise) the Native Americans as they were before the White Man started messing them around.
There is so much Native American history in Ohio. It’s fascinating.

Judy Sheehy: I have just found out something incredible that has happened with an eye problem (see below). I was diagnosed with June 07, but on Oct 2 after being on Vivix since the convention 8-08-08 I experienced a huge improvement in my vision in the left eye. In June 20 2007, I went to the see if I needed bi-focals as the readers I was using were not strong enough. I seemed to have a problem seeing clearlywith my left eye so I thought I just needed a prescription distance and reading glasses. The Dr., after examining me, said that I should see a specialist as he thought there was something going on in the left eye. On June 25,2007 I went to a specialist, Dr. Hessburg at Henry Ford Eye Care Specialist in Grosse Pointe and the diagnosis was, Epiretinal Membrane Macula Traction, left eye. The vision was 20/200. I did not have Macula Degeneration or Cataracts or Glaucoma. The way it was explained that as we age the vitreous gel on the eye pulls away and we get floaters. Some of the cells create a thin film and in my case landed on the center vision of the macula. It is sometimes called a macular pucker. He said it would not get worse OR better. He did say they could do a surgical procedure to peel off the tissue but it was a delicate and not always successful surgery. Since I am not a fan of surgery, I chose to carry on with limited vision in that eye. The only problem I had was a blurred section but could still see. Aug 07 I added Vitalizer to my already list of Shaklee supplements and also increased my OmegaGuard to 6/daily along with what I was getting in the Vitalizer. I had another checkup with the specialist 1/08 and there was a slight improvement. 20/100. I saw him again on 5/20-08 and was 20/70. I started Vivix on 8-08-08 in New Orleans and just had a recheck on 10/02/08. To his amazement it was 20/25. He was so curious and amazed that he examined me several times to recheck to see if there was an error in the figures... I am thrilled and he has asked me to send him info on Vivix.. I told him he needs to let his patients know about Vivix!!! Go to source.
Ebselen by modulating oxidative stress improves hypoxia-induced macroglial Müller cell and vascular injury in the retina.
Oxidative stress is an important contributor to glial and vascular cell damage in ischemic retinopathies. We hypothesized that ebselen via its ability to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and augment nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) anti-oxidants would attenuate hypoxia-induced damage to macroglial Müller cells and also lessen retinal vasculopathy. Primary cultures of rat Müller cells were exposed to normoxia (21% O2), hypoxia (0.5% O2) and ebselen (2.5 μM) for up to 72 h. Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) was induced in C57BL/6J mice while control mice were housed in room air. Mice received vehicle (saline, 5% dimethyl sulfoxide) or ebselen (10 mg/kg) each day between postnatal days 6-18. In cultured Müller cells, flow cytometry for dihydroethidium revealed that ebselen reduced the hypoxia-induced increase in ROS levels, whilst increasing the expression of Nrf2-regulated anti-oxidant genes, heme oxygenase 1, glutathione peroxidase-1, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone oxidoreductase 1 and glutamate-cysteine ligase. Moreover, in Müller cells, ebselen reduced the hypoxia-induced increase in protein levels of pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors including vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant-protein 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and the mRNA levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a marker of Müller cell injury. Ebselen improved OIR by attenuating capillary vaso-obliteration and neovascularization and a concomitant reduction in Müller cell gliosis and GFAP. We conclude that ebselen protects against hypoxia-induced injury of retinal Müller cells and the microvasculature, which is linked to its ability to reduce oxidative stress, vascular damaging factors and inflammation. Agents such as ebselen may be potential treatments for retinopathies that feature oxidative stress-mediated damage to glia and the microvasculature.

Issued October 3, 2013 by Governor Pat Quinn, Order 1 requires the Illinois Bureau of Personnel in the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) to modify the Application for State Employment (the “CMS100”). All state employing agencies, boards, and commissions must modify their employment applications to remove any question about an applicant’s criminal history. If a criminal background check is conducted, the state employer must utilize an Authorization for Release form that informs the applicant of the policy. Each employer covered by Order 1 must establish a process for the evalua- tion of a candidate’s criminal history that only excludes a candidate where it is determined that the exclusion is job-related and consistent with business necessity. Consistent with the EEOC guidance, employers must consider factors such as the nature and gravity of the offense, the time that has elapsed since the conviction and/or completion of sentence, and the nature of the job being sought.
Commentary: For several years, advocates had pursued legislative efforts to ban-the-box. Although legislation may still be considered as a strategy in the state, the administrative win at the state level offers an example of a viable alternative.

I’ve heard some reviews of the Alpine Pullover fitting snug in the chest and arms and I didn’t find that with my size 8. I would have liked to try the size 10 which was not available just to see if it would be a bit roomier in the tummy and midsection area but other then that it was not an awkward fit for me. Mind you, I don’t have built arms or anything but I don’t exactly have skinny arms either. I think the Run Spirit Pullover from last year was only roomier in the lower tummy area and the lower arms area because it had a bit of a slouchyness to the design.
Live Simply Jacket. Quite similar to the Wear With All. I like this better then the WWA because I love the bigger hood and the seam detailing on it. Metal zipper though.

Cozy comfort and clear consciences.
Make brisk autumn afternoons at the pumpkin patch even more enjoyable with the classic look and eco-conscious construction of the Patagonia Women's Off Country Turtleneck Sweater. Beneath its timeless turtleneck styling is a fabric made from reclaimed cotton and polyester fibers that create 98% less environmental impact than new, nonregenerated yarn. But don't worry, these yarns are just as soft and cozy as the new ones, so you don't have to compromise comfort.
I bought this sweater for my wife before we went on a ski trip. It's super soft, no itch at all, and the fit is nice and casual. She mentioned it's warm but too thick. She absolutely loves it and wants to order the other colors.
I needed a travel sweater that could be worn against the skin. Weight and bulk were a consideration as well as actual warmth. This sweater is not weighty, warm and comfortable against the skin. A little pricey I guess but I've already worn it every day since buying it. It has an interesting boxy shape but the arms and shoulders are form fitting so jackets go over easy. I am 5'10" 150 lbs and I have the Large but could wear a medium if I wanted a more fitted look.
I bought this for my mom knowing that if she didnt like it (for some crazy reason) that I would happily take it home for myself. Good and bag news, she LOVES it. So now I will have to buy one for myself! Super soft, great fit and comfy! Super happy with this find!!!
Bought this for my wife and here's what she has to say: This is my go-to, no itch sweater when I need to be warm and comfortable. I love the navy but hoping Patagonia makes it in more colors!
This is the most comfortable and cozy sweater I have ever owned. I find myself going for it in my closet every chilly day. I usually am an extra small with Patagonia and that is the size I got. I Think it fits perfectly! I had a hard time deciding what color to get...I ended up with the navy and love it!
This is the ultimate must-have, coziest piece for your closet! I purchased the heather grey, but will be going back for other colors! I always size down in Patagonia (usually wear a Medium, but ordered a Small) and the fit was perfect!
I love this sweater. The turtleneck is a little high for me, but it's easily folded down and looks like it's meant to be worn that way. It runs a little oversized.

Hello I recently started a company called GorisOne Tech. My business consists of buying used copiers, printers, and plotters so I may export them. Usually, I get them from ebay, and other companies near where I live. Now I've been trying to browse the web to find other auctions. I'm trying to find auctions that would sell exclusively to businesses because I would like to buy in large quantities. Where can I find auctions or companies that sell printers, copiers, and plotters at an affordable price? Thank You, I apreciate your time.
include an address?? Email?? or Phone number.
How can I help you network, if I can NOT reach you.

I see a lot of chemicals listed in the pool math calculator but which ones do people use with regularity?
All I ever add is 12.5% bleach, 31.45% Muriatic Acid, and Trichlor pucks during vacations.
What is the status of your water? Test results?
My pool has enough CYA in it since it doesn't evaporate out and the pucks replenish what splashes out. My tap water is hard enough to maintain the TA without having to purchase baking soda.
No test results yet, I just received the TF-100 yesterday and I'm not opening the pool for another few weeks. Just curious of the chemical I should keep in stocked at all times.
The only thing you currently know you will always need is chlorine.
Everything else depends on the test results.
The only thing you can be certain of is bleach, but that has a shelf life, so there's no point in buying up a truckload because it will deteriorate over time and leave you with some expensive salt water.
Rarely have I used anything listed above in your list except bleach (when I want instant rise in FC, the SWG works slowly) and muriatic acid for pH and even that is pretty rarely needed in my pool.
I added calcium once in 5 years but you have a vinyl pool and don't need to worry about it.
The only things I would suggest keeping on hand is bleach and Muriatic Acid (only one jug, never stored near metals or bleach). Then depending on your own test results you can buy anything else as needed and not deal with having to store it.

Local elections will be held soon across the country. The events have a special meaning this year. It is because Prime Minister Abe Shinzo will make a decision whether he will present to the Diet a bill to amend the constitution, which he regards as his historic mission, judging from the election results. In other words, these elections will play a key role whether the constitution may be revised or not.
Two years or so is left for Prime Minister Abe Shinzo before his tenure ends as President of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). In order to put a bill to alter the constitution for the Diet’s debates it is necessary to control two-thirds of the parliamentary members in both of the Houses. It is anticipated, however, in the July election for the House of Councilors, that the ruling bloc may have difficulties to gain that amount of seats.
If the opposition parties and citizens groups are united effectively to field common candidates as was so in the previous election, the coalition bloc will fail to attain the necessary figure. If the situation goes that way, Premier Abe will not be able to raise the bill in question to the Diet during his tenure as the party president.
Plausible estimation: the government can afford to set a voting day on August 25 at the latest. In other words, if the ruling parties enforce to present the controversial bill for debates before June 27, a referendum may be set on August 25 along the rule to hold a plebiscite in 60 days at the shortest.
One more assumption: the government may just present the bill and set a referendum date later, after the House of Councilors election.
We must get prepared. The Abe government has forced to pass a number of illegitimate laws violating the constitution. It will take the same approach this time, too. The government has overwhelming supremacy in terms of control of time schedule for constitution amendment, financial capacity, TV propaganda and etc.
Another possibility: to hold simultaneous elections for both of the Houses. Without presenting the bill for parliamentary debates, Premier has the right to dissolve the House of Representatives to remove anxiety for the government, which is the planned hike of the consumption tax rate in October, the fundamental issue of the July election in. The administration will employ every possible means for the purpose. The Komeito, a coalition partner of the LDP, is prudent, however, over the amendment process. The political body may be compelled to obey their manager, if the LDP wins in the concurrent elections.
Under these circumstances the coming local elections are crucial so that the government’s tricks cannot work. We see two governorship elections. One is in Hokkaido where an opposition candidate competes against one from the ruling bloc, which is one and only makeup among other nine elections. In any way the opposition forces must be successful.
In the governor’s election in Yamanashi Prefecture held in January, which was regarded as an advance contest of the Upper House election, the incumbent candidate, an affiliate to the Democratic Party, has been defeated. Did win a candidate linked with the coalition. We must learn lessons from tactics the Abe government uses in the elections.
The second is elections to choose Mayor of Osaka City and Governor of Osaka Prefecture. The incumbent mayor and governor have already resigned to be ready to run as candidates, exchanging positions with each other. The two are from the Osaka Ishin-no-kai Party, eager to reorganize Osaka Prefecture into a Tokyo-like administrative unit. If voters succeed in frustrating the urban restructuring plan, to which the party persistently clings, together with the LDP and the Komeito, a wedge is driven into the alliance of the LDP and the Ishin-no-kai over the constitution amendment issue.
Thus, the local elections imply whether the constitution may be revised or not.
People feel uneasy on account of a consumption tax rate hike, unstable employment conditions and deteriorated public services, while the Abe government has been unbeaten in the elections to survive. Municipal elections are the closest to people. Let’s talk to citizens weary of politics. Let’s discuss with voters to change politics. Let’s take advantage of the elections.
The New Socialist Party is determined to work actively in the local elections. Let’s win together with party candidates. Let’s win together with associate candidates.

24 Feb. 25 June. 25 Oct.
The order of psalmody for the Day-Hours being now arranged, let all the remaining 25 Psalms be equally distributed among the seven Night Offices, dividing the longer Psalms among them, and assigning twelve to each night. Above all, we recommend that if this arrangement of the Psalms be displeasing to anyone, he should, if he think fit, order it otherwise; taking care in any case that the whole Psalter of a hundred and fifty Psalms be recited every week, and always begun afresh at the Night Office on Sunday. For those monks would shew themselves very slothful in the divine service who said in the course of a week less than the entire Psalter, with the usual canticles; since we read that our holy fathers resolutely performed in a single day what I pray we tepid monks may achieve in a whole week.
With this section of Chapter XVIII, our father Saint Benedict completes his distribution of the 150 psalms over the course of the week. This being done, he shows his profound humility and reasonableness by allowing for a different arrangement of the psalms, but under one condition only: that the whole Psalter of a hundred and fifty Psalms be recited every week, and always begun afresh at the Night Office on Sunday. So clear is Saint Benedict on this particular point, that one cannot depart from the principle of the recitation of the whole Psalter of one hundred and fifty psalms over the week, without stepping outside the margins of the Holy Rule. The distribution of the Psalter over one week is one of the very few non-negotiables laid down by Saint Benedict.
Why is Saint Benedict so insistent on this principle? He explains: “Those monks would shew themselves very slothful in the divine service who said in the course of a week less than the entire Psalter, with the usual canticles; since we read that our holy fathers resolutely performed in a single day what I pray we tepid monks may achieve in a whole week.” It is clear, then, that Benedictines are bound to pray the Psalter in its entirety weekly. One can hardly contest a principle so clearly laid down.
This being said, in our monastery’s ten years of existence, we have learned, and sometimes learned rather painfully, that everything cannot be undertaken all at once. Building the full liturgical life of a monastery is like laying the foundations of an edifice and, then, slowly and carefully building the walls, cementing in one stone at a time until, the walls having reached their full height, it becomes possible to construct the roof and cover it with tiles. In the first years, we attempted to carry out the full choral servitutus pensum [obligation of divine service], and did so with energy and determination. One of the monastery’s oldest friends, Dr Tracy Loper, used to rise early and, before going off to his medical practice, join us at 5:00 a.m. for the recitation of Matins.
After some years, given the frequent occurrences of illness, the challenges of life in a new climate, and the growing acceptance of our human limitations, I found it necessary to suspend the Night Office for a time, and this in accord with the provisions of our Declarations and Statutes, bearing in mind, as Saint Benedict says, the discretion of holy Jacob, when he said “If I cause my flocks to be overdriven, they will all perish in one day.” At no time may an abbot put aside Saint Benedict’s injunction to “temper all things, that the strong may have something to strive after, and the weak nothing at which to take alarm.” An abbot may, at certain seasons and hours of his monastery’s life, be obliged to suspend observances that are, at least momentarily, beyond what the brethren can reasonably undertake. He does this, however, without losing sight of the integral observance and of the full servitutis pensum, which remain the ideal towards which we are constantly progressing.
I shall always follow the wise advice of the Father Abbot who visited us from France some years ago. When I asked his counsel with regard to giving dispensations from choir, he was quick to reply that such dispensations should be given generously and as needed, lest any brother fall into weariness or discouragement. At the same time, I am bound to encourage a manly generosity and the spirit of sacrifice that manifests itself chiefly in . . . getting out of bed for Matins! You will all discover, each one for himself, that in spite of the hardship of rising for Matins or, perhaps, because of it, there are graces given at this Hour that are given at no other time.
You will taste and see! Wonderful benefits accrue from the weekly repetition of the Psalter: the psalms become familiar, sometimes to the point of being memorised; the taste of them lingers for a long time on the palate of the soul; they become the ground of an authentic Christian contemplation, for by them, the prayer of Christ passes into us, and we pass into His prayer to the Father. Once the Night Office is firmly in place, we shall begin increasing the hours of adoration. But this, dear sons, will be the subject of another chapter.
What a wonderful way of describing the benefits of the weekly psalter; thank you Father! Going from the four-week psalter to the weekly made a big difference in my life.

Monkey Puzzle Montessori School provides a rich educational environment with the finest views in Guernsey, overlooking St Peter Port harbour and surrounding islands.
Our children thrive in a nurturing and safe environment where small class sizes ensure that every child is a special person and given the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace with the right level of encouragement and challenge.
Dr Montessori observed the importance of ‘sensitive periods’ for learning, a period when a child has an intense fascination for learning a particular characteristic or skill, such as going up or down steps, putting things in order, counting or reading. The Montessori classroom takes advantage of this by allowing the freedom to select individual activities that correspond with their own period of interest.
Our morning work is centred around the core subjects of numeracy and literacy. For these subjects, we use the traditional Montessori methods and materials which encourage the children to enjoy learning while progressing at their own, individual pace. Many of the materials are self-correcting and the children gain great satisfaction from completing tasks independently.
We provide a carefully prepared rich environment for language development in our classroom using indirect preparatory materials along with the phonic materials to develop the skills needed for both basic and advanced reading and writing skills throughout our age groups.
Montessori promoted the belief that maths in the early years prepares a child for logical and critical thinking, not for memorising mathematical facts. The children are introduced to specifically designed maths materials which facilitate an interest and understanding in concrete mathematical operations which lasts a lifetime and leads on to a smoother transition and understanding of abstract mathematical concepts.
Although given daily direction to complete tasks, the children are also encouraged to choose their own activities, therefore there is often a busy hum of activity to be heard in the room! We monitor each child’s progress as an individual and each child is introduced to new work as and when they are ready for it. To keep in line with the National Curriculum attainments, numeracy and literacy workbooks are used at times to consolidate and reinforce our learning experiences whilst helping to make a transition to other schools less daunting.
Cultural work and Science play a very important part in our curriculum.
We study many of the different continents and countries, investigating people, animals, history and beliefs. These projects are made more interesting for the children through the medium of art, craft, cookery and drama. The children are encouraged to explore the world around them and much of the emphasis in Science and Environmental Studies is to introduce the children to hands-on experimenting, outdoor learning environments and to encourage questioning and observation. Although there are different age groups in the prep class, all the children work together on the various projects, each child working at their own level. The children are encouraged to bring in any information or items relevant to the projects and projects often take off in other directions led by the enthusiasm and interests of the children.
Our classroom offers the Prep children real-life experiences to help care for the environment and each other. Developing control and coordination, independence, concentration and a sense of responsibility, the children are guided to be involved in daily activities within the class. As well as having responsibility for the indoor and outdoor environment, they prepare the snack and serve lunch. Our cookery sessions teach the children valuable practical skills that can be carried with them throughout life. Children practise basic math skills as they measure ingredients, reading comprehension as they follow recipes and team building as they work in groups. We strive to build a strong foundation for healthy eating and food preparation.
An important part of our summer term involves weekly ‘Back to Nature’ outings.
These outings involve mornings spent in the woods, meadows, beach or other outdoor learning environments. This provides a chance for the children to experience nature and the outdoor environment in a safe and secure but hands-on way. They learn many practical skills but, more importantly, they also learn social skills, team-working and responsible risk-taking which leads to the development of their own self-confidence, physical agility and knowledge and understanding of their natural world and environment.
The children are actively involved in drama with the Prep children taking lead roles in the Christmas play and summer concerts. At many other times during the school year, the children perform plays and stories to celebrate festivals and assemblies, which greatly develops their confidence, teamwork and communication skills. The children are welcome to participate in a group or individually in both the Speech and Drama and French classes in the annual Guernsey Eisteddfod.
Our native French teacher works with the Prep children for three, half-hour sessions a week. She introduces grammar and conversational French to all the children with written French for the Middle and Upper Prep children. French classes are interactive with songs, games and videos being used to help provide a greater learning experience.
The children explore different materials and artistic genres as well as creating crafts appropriate to various cultural projects. They are introduced to the History of Art and various artists while looking closely at the different techniques that these artists employ. Art is one of the many ways that children express themselves, communicate their feelings and develop fine motor control. Independent creation is hugely encouraged and children have daily access to art materials.
To help give the children a greater understanding of feelings, emotions and how their actions impact on others, we include one PSHE/RE class a week. The children are introduced to different world religions and cultures at this time but with no specific religion being encouraged. The Prep children regularly present assemblies to celebrate different cultural festivals. At Christmas the children learn about the Nativity and Christmas carols are sung. If you have any strong objections to your children being involved in these classes, please let us know.
Music classes are fun for the children with the introduction of instruments and basic theory. Singing is taught in a lively, interactive manner with the children playing musical games and listening to music from around the world. The older children learn to play the recorder in their final year of school, learning how to read the music that they are playing to.
The children have one games session per week taking place either at school or at Beau Sejour. During the year, the children learn to play Uni-hockey, football, tennis and netball, as well as basic gymnastic classes and rounders. They also have sessions of yoga, music & movement and athletics. Swimming lessons organised through Beau Sejour swimschool are included within the terms fees.

The only thing harder than making a relationship work is making a relationship work at sea. There are lot less outlet malls in the Caribbean, which means a woman will stay mad at you longer.
Some guests and crew refer to our ship as “The Love Boat.” Unfortunately, one cruise isn’t going to help you if your relationship is in trouble. Because once a woman has it in her mind that you’re a selfish a-hole, nothing you do or say will convince her otherwise.
How would women like it if men acted this way?
Again, how would women like it if men pulled that crap?
One of the biggest misconceptions about men is that we’re afraid of marriage. We aren’t afraid of marriage. We’re afraid of divorce.
I think both sexes would be better prepared for marriage, if were better at articulating our expectations.
Another frustrating thing about relationships is most women expect their men to read their minds.
The weird thing about bad relationships is that they are completely avoidable. Everything we need to know about how and why a relationship will fail is staring us right in the face whenever we first start dating someone. But when we’re lonely and desperate, we choose to ignore those red flags.
When planning to get married, men have a tendency to view marriage as a business partnership. This can take the romance right out of an engagement for women.
Although women hate this goal-driven worldview, if we men viewed marriage the same way women do, they would want nothing to do with us.
A friend of mine recently got divorced for the second time. First he lost his house, then he lost his car. I’m jealous: I’m 48 years old and I don’t own a house or a car and I would love to have two crazy women to blame my crappy standard of living on.

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / August 11, 2016 – Clean Energy Fuels Corp., (NASDAQ: CLNE) announced that it has been selected as a supplier to provide natural gas upgrades to facilities in Cummins Inc.’s Distribution Business Unit across North America. This will allow Clean Energy to assist Cummins with their continued support for natural gas vehicle implementations.
Clean Energy’s Facility Modification Services (FMS) provides natural gas facility assessments and design/build services for the natural gas industry assisting customers in North America. The group works with public and private agencies to support their transition and opportunities the natural gas vehicle provide.
Clean Energy FMS is also installing its proprietary NGV Easy Bay™ for a Ryder System, Inc. facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The NGV Easy Bay™, the first code-compliant industrial fabric barrier system, is scalable and can accommodate a single bay isolation project, or be used to divide a large building into multiple bays. It is retractable for easy storage and can even be relocated to another facility.
The FMS team is also providing design and build services for three McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing facilities, and anticipates beginning construction in early 2017.
Midway Ford Truck Center, Inc. and Clean Energy held a ceremony on August 9th to open a compressed natural gas (CNG) station in Kansas City, Missouri. The station is adjacent to vehicle up-fitter businesses that will provide CNG conversions and vehicle equipment for Ford Commercial Trucks equipped with CNG-prepped gasoline engines, including Transit Van and F-150 pickup trucks which are both manufactured at the nearby Ford Assembly Plant.
Baldor Specialty Foods, one of the largest distributors of fresh produce and specialty foods in the North East, has begun making the transition to natural gas for its fleet after testing a CNG truck provided by Clean Energy. Headquartered in the Bronx, New York, Baldor saw the opportunity to operate the Class-8 CNG truck as a unique way to explore the benefits of fueling with natural gas first hand. Baldor will be fueling at Clean Energy’s National Grid station in Everett, Massachusetts.
Clean Energy expanded its America’s Natural Gas Highway™ with a ribbon cutting ceremony in July to open a new CNG station in Conley, Georgia. Anchor Fleet G&P Trucking Company, and additional fleet representatives, were present to celebrate the occasion. The public liquefied natural gas (LNG) station is expected to dispense approximately 270,000 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) per year.
In addition to opening truck-friendly stations, Clean Energy has added Davenport Transport, a United States Postal Service carrier based out of Blairsville, Georgia, to its list of trucking customers. Additionally, existing customer Bimbo Bakeries USA, the largest baker in the United States, has recently added additional natural gas vehicles to its alternative-fuel fleet.
The City of Santa Clarita has extended a 4 year agreement with Clean Energy for the operation & maintenance of the city’s CNG fueling stations, which represents approximately 1.3 million GGEs per year. The city has continued to expand their CNG fleet of more than 70 vehicles within the Transit Department, and has also expanded its CNG fleet in the pool and Public Works departments.
Clean Energy has been awarded a construction agreement with the City of Culver City, California to replace and install new CNG equipment at the city’s Transportation Department. This project will enhance Culver City’s existing fueling facilities, and will support the continued success of their expanding CNG program of more than 100 CNG vehicles.
Atlas Refuel has contracted with Clean Energy to build, own and operate a natural gas fueling station at San Jose International Airport. The public station will support airport and other fleets and is anticipated to dispense approximately 300,000 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE’s) per year.
The Sacramento County Airport System has contracted with Clean Energy for a multi-year repair and maintenance agreement for its Sacramento International Airport station. Clean Energy will perform repairs and take over maintenance at the station which will fuel an anticipated 500,000 GGEs per year to airport and municipal vehicles.
The Port of Oakland has extended Clean Energy’s ten-year operation & maintenance agreement for another five years with an additional five year option for the Oakland International Airport station. The station provides fueling services to the port authority’s natural gas fleet, as well to vehicles which service the airport.
Clean Energy has been commissioned to construct a CNG station for the Kent School District in Kent, Washington. The station, which will also be maintained by Clean Energy, is expected to fuel 20 buses and distribute approximately 40,000 GGEs per year for the 4th largest school district in the state.
Valley Metro, the regional public transportation agency for greater Phoenix, has extended a CNG station operations and maintenance agreement with Clean Energy for an additional 5 years. Such agreement covers Valley Metro’s Mesa facility and represents approximately 1.4 million GGEs per year. Clean Energy also operates and maintains Valley Metro’s Tempe natural gas fueling facility.
Desert Sands Unified School District has awarded Clean Energy a three-year maintenance contract for its station in La Quinta, California. The station will support the district’s 40 CNG buses, which represents as much as 90,000 GGEs per year.
Homewood Disposal, a refuse company servicing over 12,500 commercial customers throughout Indiana and Illinois, held a ribbon cutting ceremony last Thursday to unveil its new CNG fueling station in Homewood, Illinois. Clean Energy constructed, and will provide operations and maintenance services for the station, which includes 40 time-fill posts and will begin offering fueling to the general public next month.
The City of Scottsdale has renewed its operations & maintenance contract with Clean Energy for an additional year. The station, which supports the city’s natural gas refuse fleet, dispenses over 300,000 GGEs per year.
Republic Services, one of the nation’s largest refuse companies, opened a new CNG station in Wilsonville, Oregon on June 10th. The station, was built and will be operated and maintained by Clean Energy.
In addition to these projects, Clean Energy Fuels announced it obtained $19.5 million in grant funding during the second quarter of 2016. The grants, awarded by multiple states, provide funding to Clean Energy and its customers for 369 natural gas vehicles and a station construction project. The award includes a $1.4 million grant by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for Ruan Transportation Management Systems to purchase 27 CNG class-8 trucks. Ruan is one of the largest, family-owned transportation providers in the country and provides dedicated contract transportation and supply chain solutions to customers across the country.
Natural gas fuel costs less than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 21 percent and up to 90 percent with the use of renewable natural gas. In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in North America is produced in North America.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) is the leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America. We build and operate CNG and LNG fueling stations; manufacture CNG and LNG equipment and technologies; develop RNG production facilities; and deliver more CNG and LNG fuel than any other company in the U.S. Clean Energy also sells Redeem™ RNG fuel and believes it is the cleanest transportation fuel commercially available, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%.

text: The greatest problem relating to settlement growth in Yogyakarta urban area is the declining number of green open spaces. This study aimed to analyze the balance between the availability of and need for green open space development to promote the existence of green settlement in Yogyakarta urban area. The methods employed in this study were field research and studio analysis by referring to the related research methods previously conducted by the researcher as well as by the others. The results showed that the extent of green open space in Yogyakarta urban area reached 1,469.45 Ha or 16.2% of the total area. Therefore, the need for green open space lacked 13.8% of the total area. The general condition of the green open space was categorized as average in either housing clusters or settlements (non-housing clusters). Good condition was found only in low-density settlement, while poor condition of green open space was located in high-density settlement. The development of green open space should focus on public green open space while maintaining the private one. Some of the potential areas for this included rice fields, village treasury lands, riverbanks, roadsides, railway boundaries, public areas, and others.

Www.digitalplayspace.com - Sennheiser Digital 9000. Scrapbooking is quickly becoming a very popular career choice for those thinking about combining their love for art with their love for calculating. With movies such as Monsters Inc. and Cars holding the attention of children and adults alike, so it's not surprising that animation technicians are becoming popular after.
A cartoon is defined as a visual shift in a spectacle with respect to time.

Intelligence For Your Life - Are Cats As Smart As Dogs?
Are Cats As Smart As Dogs?
Find out what researchers discovered when they tested them!
Cat lovers, hear this: A new study from Kyoto University in Japan says cats are just as smart as dogs! The researchers gave cats memory tests - and they performed just as well as dogs. They can recall memories of a tasty snack… and other pleasant experiences, like lying by a favorite sunny window. Those are known as episodic memories. That’s a memory tied to a specific time and place. It’s like rewinding a video and playing back a moment in your head.
And recently, researchers discovered that’s what dogs have… and now we know cats have it, too! The study discovered that cats can also learn how to respond to human gestures, facial expressions and emotions. And cats can remember where they found food in an unfamiliar location - and go back to that spot to see if they can find food there again. So the next time a die-hard dog lover tells you dogs are smarter - you can say, “Actually, I heard cats are just as smart” - from Intelligence For Your Life.

Surprisingly, no one complains of raging hunger. Bu most everyone felt hungry for the first few weeks. When I joined Weight Watchers years ago to lose pregnancy weight I felt exactly the same way. But then you just get used to less calories and learn to eat more filling foods.
Another great post - thanks! To be scientific about one's approach to this diet, you need to know your baseline, and as you mentioned, everyone guesses too high. If you're not a part of a study, how would you ever figure this out? Once you have your magic number, then you have to be systematic in recording your food consumption, which means calculating what the calories all come to. Not the hardest thing in the world to do, but harder to do then flossing your teeth, and plenty of people skip that.
I think this would be most likely to be undertaken by those of us can glimpse our immortality either through dint of age or prospective health issues. That said, it is very intriguing to me...if I could get a baseline, I think I would give it a shot.
> You have to submit a weekly food diary.
I read the article in the Times this morning, and your blog post this afternoon. I started doing a vegetarian low-carb regime, but couldn't hack no meat, so added eggs, chicken breast, tuna & salmon. I found that most of the foods I'm eating are on this list! All I would need to do is rethink the fats, and I am so doing.
I pretty much already follow such a diet (Esselstyn & McDougall). Mostly because I don't want exploratory open heart surgery.
I do miss Spirulina on this list.
I grew up on collard, turnip, and beet greens and love them; but back in the 1950s, cooking greens was a little different -- there was a little bucket by the stove for pouring bacon grease out of the skillet in the morning, with a filter on the top to catch the crunchy bits, and that was used the rest of the day for all kinds of cooking, including the greens.

Find out how Krispy Kreme's "Vote 2010: Dough Your Part" campaign is helping prepare registered voters for the upcoming 2010 elections in May.
For the first time in the country, an automated voting system will be used by registered voters for the upcoming elections. A mock election conducted by COMELEC showed that some voters did not know where and how to cast their ballots. Efforts from various sectors like on-air commercials are being made to be able to reach out to the voters in introducing it—and Krispy Kreme is one of them.
Krispy Kreme is out with their own campaign called “Vote 2010: Dough Your Part” and in doing so have devised their own way to help spread awareness. They have created a mock ballot wherein voters will choose their winning doughnut and coffee. “We wanted to make it a fun learning experience for the voters”, Mark Gamboa, Marketing Manager of Krispy Kreme said. “This will help them prepare for the real, automated voting system.” He adds.
Given the insufficient knowledge of the voters regarding the new voting system, Krispy Kreme will give voters a chance to learn more about it. “So when the elections come, they wouldn’t be confused” Gamboa said. This awareness then leads to an organized and peaceful election.
Other than sharing the knowledge, the mock ballot Krispy Kreme has created will also encourage them to actually exercise their right to vote. “Once they try the mock ballot, it will urge them to go out and vote.” Gamboa said. Since it is a new system and others may think it will be problematic, the Krispy Kreme campaign may help them think otherwise. For everyone to further maximize this advocacy, limited edition Krispy Kreme Vote 2010 doughnuts will be available on the said event and from May 8 to 10.
You may visit any of the following Krispy Kreme Branches: Bonifacio High Street, Greenhills Shopping Center Drive-Thru, SM Mall of Asia, Trinoma Cinema Level, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia Drive-Thru, Ayala Avenue, Robinsons Galleria, Gateway Mall, Glorietta 4, SM City Annex (North EDSA), Annex 2 SM Fairvew, Eastwood, Marquee Mall Pampanga, SM San Lazaro & SM Manila or call 0917-8053000.

1) Does the problem occur from different client machines.
If yes, is the IP address correct and is the latency not too high.
If the server can be accessed but not the specific port then the firewall configuration should be checked.
In this case the problem did not occur when connecting from a client on the same lan as the server. This indicated that the problem was caused by the networking environment.
After reconfiguring the client machines such that they are connected to the working network, the problem was resolved.

William T. Wilson Attorney & Counselor at Law, Ltd., is primarily a personal injury and wrongful death law firm. One vital service we provide for clients whose loved ones have died in car and truck accidents (and premises accidents) is to help with estate matters. Our probate lawyer is available to make sure an estate is properly administered after a loved one passes away.
We help surviving family members open estates and go through the probate process in a timely manner. We can also help surviving family members after any death, even if this firm is not representing the family in a wrongful death case.
Sometimes after a death and before estate administration is complete, probate litigation rears its ugly head. Probate litigation can be costly and frustrating — but it may become necessary. A creditor or potential heir or beneficiary may accuse you of breach of fiduciary duty (if you are acting as executor). Or the shoe may be on the other foot: You may be an intended beneficiary and discover that the executor has mismanaged the estate.
In either case — whether you are a plaintiff or defendant — we can help ensure that your probation dispute is resolved in the most cost-effective, reasonable way. Spending down the estate to cover legal costs is counterproductive in a great many cases. Rest assured we have your best interests at heart and will always steer you in a way that is likely to bring about an outcome that is favorable to your side of the dispute.
Meet Mr. Wilson to discuss your legal concerns after a loved one's death — including probate and, if necessary, probate litigation. Call 254-771-5885 (888-294-8289 toll free) 24 hours a day, seven days a week or send an email message. Our offices are conveniently located on the third floor of the Temple Public Library. Home and hospital visits are available upon request.

The Buffalo Bills have pulled off some big upsets this year and find themselves yet again as an underdog on Sunday. Will the Bills pull off a smaller upset today when they host the beleaguered Jacksonville Jaguars at 1:00 p.m. ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetNow.eu, the Jaguars are 3-point favorites to beat the Bills. The total, meanwhile, sits at 37 points. As of this writing, 62% of the public betting tickets are on the Jaguars to cover the point spread.
Jags WR D.J. Chark (quad) is out for Week 12 against the Bills. Chark has run as the team's third wideout ever since Keelan Cole lost a fumble prior to Jacksonville's bye. Cole should re-enter three-wide sets, but it's admittedly a terrible matchup for all against the Bills' secondary. Blake Bortles will also be tasked in getting all the ball without LT Josh Walker (foot/ankle) protecting his blindside.
Josh Allen will start Week 12 against the Jaguars. He's been practicing in full this week and is over the elbow injury that has shelved him since Week 6. Matt Barkley filled in admirably two weeks back against the Jets and will be the backup. Allen obviously isn't a redraft asset.
The Jaguars are 0-4-2 against the spread in their last six games overall and 0-3-2 ATS in their last five games coming off a loss.
The Bills are 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games played in the month of November.
The Bills pulled off upsets versus the Vikings and Titans this season and now host a Jaguars team coming off its worse loss of the season (a total collapse in the fourth quarter last week versus the Steelers). Jacksonville is the significantly better team but I don’t know how motivated the Jaguars will be for this game in Buffalo. This is the time of year it’s wise to bet against the southern teams going into colder elements. I’m fading a Jags team that I see rolling over today Buffalo.

In this special guest feature, Dr. Werner Hopf of Dolphin Enterprise Solutions Corp. outlines several reasons to undertake an archiving initiative during corporate transformations. Dr. Hopf is Dolphin’s CEO and Archiving Principal. He has more than 20 years of experience in the information technology industry and specializes in SAP Data Volume Management initiatives. Founded in 1995, Dolphin works exclusively within the SAP ecosystem. As the one partner that manages both data and processes, it leads the way in business performance improvement. To learn more, visit www. Dolphin-Corp.com.
Corporate transformations through mergers and acquisitions, or divesting business units, are increasingly common in today’s business environment. However, Big Data is adding a layer of complexity to an already complicated process. Oftentimes, the process happens quickly and needs to be executed on a tight timeline. When divesting a business unit, it’s essential to protect corporate intellectual property (IP), and while executing a merger or acquisition, organizations will need to consolidate systems, possibly modernizing or introducing a new ERP, such as SAP, altogether. Both can be difficult, but a well-planned and executed data archiving strategy will make the transition more efficient from both a cost and performance perspective. Here are three more reasons to undertake an archiving initiative during corporate transformations.
Data is expensive to store, but an effective archiving strategy requires an organization to organize data by order of importance. By prioritizing data, it can be assigned to a storage level consistent with its business value. It will also paint a clearer picture as to which data can be purged and which should be retained for compliance purposes. Once this is completed, it will facilitate a speedy transfer for organizations that are modernizing legacy systems or migrating to cloud-based repositories. During a divestiture, having a firm understanding as to where data is stored and its level of importance will make it simpler to carve out and transfer necessary data.
There are a number of risks involved during corporate transformations. Corporate IP may accidentally be shared, or sensitive personal identifying information (PII) could be exposed. Effective archiving will ensure that extraneous data that is no longer needed has been purged, while other sensitive information can be masked or encrypted to prevent accidental exposure to unauthorized individuals. Implementing an archiving strategy safeguards the corporation against losing track of sensitive information that could result in the embarrassing, and costly, exposure of a wide range of information, such as analytics, pricing and vendor lists, or PII.
The theme of corporate transformation is change, and it is important to start the organizations’ new chapter by moving in a positive direction. Data archiving is one way to push this movement forward. Retaining old data storage habits and keeping legacy data in the system serves to perpetuate old company methods and perspectives. In the case of a merger, it can put two very different methods used by each company at odds, creating friction. Making an archiving initiative a top priority will allow organizations to create newer and more efficient methods of handling information.
Corporate transformations, whether it be a merger, acquisition, or divestiture, present a critical opportunity for an organization to not just transform who they are, but also, how they operate. Not only will an effective data archiving strategy help the transformation take place as smoothly as possible, but it will also allow the new organization to better prepare to scale processes quickly and adapt as new business requirements emerge.
