Growing numbers of Jews have become deeply interested in mysticism, specifically in the medieval Jewish insights, prayer practices, and solitary meditation disciplines (hitbodedut) that comprise the powerful and influential mystical way of Kabbalah (Qabbalah, Cabala). According to scholars led by the eminent Gershom Scholem, Kabbalah (“received tradition”) began to be esoterically promulgated in the second half of the 12th century in the Provence region of southern France by a few leading rabbis—e.g., Rabad of Posquières, Ya‘aqov the Nazirite and Moses Nahmanides. Kabbalah emerged publicly in the early 13th century in the work of the Rabad’s son (Yitshaq the Blind) and in obscure texts like the Sefer ha-Bahir. In Spain there appeared in the 1280s the most important “canonical” Kabbalist book, the Zohar. This mystical novel, now known to be a compilation of booklets penned and in parts even trance-channeled via automatic writing by Moses de Leòn, combined Torah, Midrash (commentary works), theosophy, homily and mythical fiction. Spanish rabbi Abraham Abulafia (1240-95), an extremely influential “ecstatic Kabbalist,” traveled through the Mediterranean as far as Palestine, teaching meditation methods, especially recitation of Divine names and visualized combinations of Hebrew letters. After the unconscionable expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in 1492/1497 by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, Kabbalah’s primary sphere of influence migrated, first to Jerusalem, then to Safed, Galilee, where it flourished under the leadership of eminent spiritual masters Moses Cordovero (1522-70) and the Ari, Isaac Luria (1534-72), and their disciple Hayyim (Chaim) Vital (1542-1620).
After being covert for much of this century, known only to a few mystics and post-war Israeli scholars, Kabbalah in the last two decades has sprung forth from its hidden recesses through the increasingly public work of these mystics and scholars in conjunction with the curious diggings of Jewish Baby Boom seekers looking for a deeper connection to their tradition. Today Kabbalah, ranging from a purely contemplative practice to a rather superstitious magic (replete with amulets and omen-mongering), enjoys growing popularity among Jews of various camps, in Israel and the West. A survey by Ma‘ariv, the major Israeli newspaper, reported in Fall 1997 that 18% of Israelis, including leading politicians on the right, sought counsel from kabbalistic rabbis, most renowned of whom was Iraqi-born centenarian Harav Yitzhak Kadouri (c1890-2006), a Sephardic rabbi. Many believers carry Kadouri amulets, key chains and blessing cards. (Meanwhile, to rabbis’ chagrin, another 20% of Israelis consult fortune tellers using palmistry, tarot cards or tea leaves; another 11% prefer astrologers). Two months later in 1997, Time magazine identified Kabbalah as a “pop” trend in the USA, with some 200 small-scale programs of experiential Jewish mysticism to be found nationwide. World-renowned pop star Madonna embraced kabbalah—much to the chagrin of old Rabbi Kadouri, who stated “It is forbidden to teach a non-Jew Kabbalah.” With such notoriety, this variegated system received even greater exposure among the youth.
Just as in Christianity the return to a more mystical, meditative path has been in large part stimulated by Christians exploring Eastern spiritual paths, so also much (not all) of the impetus for interest in mystical Judaism has come from Jews who have explored—or seen many of their friends and family exploring—meditation-oriented traditions like Theravada, Zen and Vajrayana Buddhism, Hindu Vedanta and Muslim Sufism. In fact, with the Kabbalistic emphasis among Hasidic rebbes on meditation, reincarnation (gilgul neshamot) and the possibility for sublime union with G-d (devekut), mystical Judaism can strongly vie with Eastern religious traditions for “market share” in the case of Jews, especially younger ones, who might otherwise only be interested to explore these Eastern religious traditions.
Leading neo-Hasidic rabbis of our day bringing a contemplative Kabbalist Judaism to would-be mystics include, in Israel, Rabbi Joseph Schechter, who from the 1960s on led a youthful community in a meditative, purificatory Jewish spirituality drawing on Kabbalah, Hasidism, Hindu and Taoist meditation, parapsychology, etc. Polish-born Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, who trained within the ultra-orthodox Lubavitcher Hasidism line, studied assorted non-Jewish mystical spiritual paths and in 1962 founded his quasi-Hasidic B’nai Or (“Children of Light,” now P’nai Or, “Faces of Light”) Religious Fellowship, headquartered in Philadelphia. Through this organization Rav Zalman introduced numerous American Jews to meditation and has become a leading liberal prophet of the Jewish Renewal movement in America, having ordained scores of rabbis and influenced many others. Rabbi Joseph Gelberman’s “Little Synagogue” Hasidic community in New York has also brought considerable Eastern spiritual influences to American Jews, resulting in a strong appreciation for meditation and mystical depth within a Jewish context. Gelberman, like Rav Zalman, has been quite active in the interfaith movement and in this way has helped fellow Jews to draw on the best of other traditions to enrich their own path of love for G-d. Rabbi Jonathan Omer-Man is a prominent, eloquent Kabbalist in Los Angeles, and Rabbi David Cooper authored a best-seller primer on Kabbalah; he teaches, along with his wife, a growing group of students in Colorado. More generally, the works of Abraham Joshua Heschel, Gershom Scholem, Martin Buber, Elie Wiesel, Moshe Idel, Aryeh Kaplan, Arthur Green, Daniel Matt and Rodger Kamenetz have stimulated a revival of meditative Jewish spirituality among countless Jews and edified many of us lovers of Jewish lore who adhere to other traditions.
Significantly, disproportionate numbers of Jews are to be found leading and attending various American Buddhist and, to a lesser extent, American Vedanta and Sufi meditation circles. Some would put this figure as high as one-third, a figure that shocks traditional Jews, who consider any involvement in non-halakhah forms of religion to be avodah zarah, forbidden religious service, or even minut, apostasy.
The study and practice of the Kabbalah’s mystical way has been central among the orthodox Hasidic Jewish congregations. These descend from the work of Hasidism’s illustrious founder, the extraordinary spiritual master of Podolia (western Ukraine), Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer —the Ba‘al Shem Tov (“Master of the Divine Name”; 1698-1760). Under the saintly influence of the Ba‘al Shem Tov (acronym: the Besht) and his charismatic disciples, almost half of central and eastern Europe’s Jewry had become Hasidim by the early 19th century.
The Hasidim—with their ecstatically joyful, spontaneous sacred dancing, their emphasis on mystical experience over dry Talmudic scholarship, and their special devotional focus on the spiritual leader (the tzaddiq) as channel of G-d’s grace (shefa)—were considered excessively “liberal” in the first several generations of the movement, and harassed and even excommunicated by Orthodox Jewish rabbis. It is ironic, then, that in the 20th/21st centuries the Hasidim, who now constitute only about 6% of the world’s 16 million Jews, appear quite conservative. The joyful dancing and experiential emphasis still characterize Hasidic congregations. But—when compared to the liberal Reform and Conservative branches of Judaism in America and Europe, strongly influenced by the European Enlightenment and assimilating modern forms of worship, dress, and lifestyle—the Hasidim seem very much a throwback to the “Old World” of another era.
By far the most popular lineage of Hasidism in North America, in fact the world’s most influential Hasidic sect, is the growing, ultra-Orthodox missionary Lubavitcher or Habad movement. Headquartered in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, Habad hosts a population there of some 30,000 souls and includes 500,000 to 700,000 Jews worldwide. This fervent form of mysticism was brought to America in 1940 by Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneerson (1880-1950), who was the leading rabbi in Russia after Sovietization, and whose arrival in New York ushered in a rebirth of Hasidism in the New World.
Nevertheless, the influence of Lubavitcher Hasidism has served, and will continue to serve, as a stimulus that indirectly strengthens the several other already flourishing Hasidic lineages.
Other Hasidic sects survived the Nazi destruction (many did not) and now exist in Israel, Europe and/or America. They include the Rabinowicz-Monastritsh line descended from Jacob Isaac Rainowicz (d. 1814); the Chernobyl line, from Mordecai Twersky (d. 1837, son of Menahem Nahum); Bobover Hasidism, saved and carried to the US and Israel by Rabbi Solomin Halberstam (1908-2000); Satmar Hasidism, created by Moshe Teitelbaum and carried on by his controversial, anti-Zionist son Yo’el/Joel Teitelbaum (1887-1979); and the most progressive, accessible Hasidic sect, Bratslav Hasidism, started by Nachman of Bratslav (1772-1810), great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov through his holy daughter Adel, and still considered the chief rebbe of that line (this same situation will likely occur in Habad).
All sects of Hasidism can remind Jews and other religious people of the beauty of the deeply mystical life focused on G-d as the transcendent ‘Ein Sof and immanent Shekhinah. God manifests as Light, Love, Wisdom (Hochmah), Intelligence (Binah), and all other sefirot-aspects of Divine majesty.
Hasidism challenges us to remember that, truly, “There is no place empty of Him,” and that our greatest purpose is serving G-d’s creatures, visualizing the neshâmah or Divine spark within them returning to G-d in all glory in its highest nature as the yechidah or Absolute Spirit. Ultimately we, too, are returned to the sublime state of spiritual union with G-d.

ARK's Drummer JOHN MACALUSO: "When I Had to Fill In For JASON RULLO, I Learned the SYMPHONY X Songs in Two Weeks without a Drum-Kit"
John Macaluso is a man who’s proud of his work. And judging by his output, he has every right to be: starting his career with American power-thrash metal band POWERMAD, he also worked with TNT and RIOT, before founding the groundbreaking ARK with Tore Østby and Jørn Lande. He went to on collaborate with a million other artists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, James LaBrie, Dee Snider and temporarily replaced Jason Rullo in SYMPHONY X in 2013. Which brings us to his latest collaboration: he played drums on Michael Romeo‘s first solo album, War of the Worlds, Pt. 1, which is a strong contender for album of the year.
In this career-spanning interview with Sonic Perspectives collaborator Rodrigo Altaf, John talks about his influences, his studies with Rod Morgenstein (DIXIE DREGS) and Tommy Aldridge (WHITESNAKE), his work with Michael Romeo on his new album, and the intention to put together a tour to celebrate ARK‘s legacy. Check out their conversation in the audio player below, and remember to subscribe to our Podcast in several platforms to listen and be notified about new interviews and contents we publish on daily basis.
Powermad is thrash metal, not power metal… jus’ sayin’.

text: If you’re up to date with my monthly favourites (or my constant tweets), you’ll know that I am absolutely head over heels in love with a gorgeous little band called The Big Moon. For this reason, when it came to my turn for picking Vulture Hound’s latest ‘Artist of the Week’, there was no better fit. Perfect timing too, seeing as they have just released a new single and announced that their debut album, Love In The 4th Dimension will be available next year. Just the other day I was wondering how long it’d take for an album to come into existence, and just like that, my wish has been granted. Must be the magic of the super moon this week!

Hey, my name is Dan. In this video we're going to look at Embedding.
Now Embedding Code is essentially taking other people's offerings say, Google Maps, or Google Calendars, or wufoo forms, or MailChimp, or any of these other companies that provide a service that often allow you to embed their work. So it might be a Youtube clip it might be-- there's all sorts of ways you can embed things. So Embedding is the term.
We're going to do it with the Google Map at the moment. So I'm going to go to 'Google', 'Google Maps'. And I'm going to my office, where are you? There it is there. All I want to do is, we've got a really cool inside view, like a Google Maps walk around inside thing that we're going to use.
Now, to do it, to get it, there's the dotted line I kind of mentioned to you earlier. I'm going to click on this one. And I'm going to go to this that says 'Share or embed'. Embed's what I'm looking for. You'll find Embeds everywhere. 'Share', that's not what I want, I want 'Embed'. And what we're going to do is-- Medium?, no. I want to put a 'Custom size' in. I know I want mine to be about '300' high, from this side. And how wide? Actually I'm going to make mine responsive by putting in '100%', but I think I need to do that when it's out in Dreamweaver. I'm going to 'copy' it. And I'm going to jump into Dreamweaver. I'm going to 'click' inside this. And I'm going to go to Code view here. It's not going to be pasted as Text because if I paste it here, it's going to be a big pile of junk of text. It doesn't really work.
What I want to do is find where that guy is. There he is there. Can you see this thing, this little bit of code here. That's a non breaking space. That there is just there. If you remove it, the Column often collapses in Dreamweaver and can't be seen. So often that's the reason to pick on these little place holders. You can leave them there, you can delete them, it's up to you. I'm going to make it nice and clean, get rid of them. And I'm going to paste this in here.
What I'm also going to do is add an HTML comment in here. So I'm going to put in-- this is what an HTML comment looks like. This is going to be 'My Google Map'. Remember, comments are just here for the humans to see. The browser, in Google, whenever anyone else goes to this website, the machine's going to ignore anything that's in these spaces here. You'll notice it's a little different from where it was in css. But yes, My Google Map. Now, if I go to Live view again, you'll notice it's in here, but it's-- I gave it a Width of say 800 so it's pointing outside here. So what I'm going to do is change the Height of it. So I'm going to go back to Split view. I'm going to find this, and in the Code here, Google has been nice, and had the width and height pulled out of this Iframe, or this text here. So I'm going to type in '100%'. It just means it's going to fit the Width. I'm going to leave the Height, because 100% Height will end up going-- It will go very, very tall. It will stretch the page as far as it can go. So it's 100% Width, and a fixed Height.
Let's go to preview it in our browser. I'm going to refresh it. I'll jump out to my browser. And where's my working version? There it is there. The cool thing about this now is that, watch… it's an embedded map but Google are doing all this power, they're controlling this and making it work, and you can see, it can go to full screen and I can zoom in and out, and do all sorts of lovely things that you can do. That's my desk there. So Google goes through and-- all you need to do is pop in some big code which is an iframe, and Google takes control and makes all these really high value, very technical looking things, and it appears on your website but you don't have to do any of the work.

Outdoor athletes have unique dietary requirements. According to wilderness fitness trainers Doug and Courtenay Schurman, outdoor enthusiasts can maximize their performance by eating foods that best meet their dietary needs. In The Outdoor Athlete, they offer ten nutritional guidelines for outdoor athletes.
Eat Frequently. Every day, try to eat 5 to 6 equally sized meals or snacks every 3 hours or so. By eating smaller meals more frequently, you avoid getting too hungry or too full and you teach your body that it will receive nutritious food on a regular basis. This keeps your metabolic furnace stoked so that it releases fat stores more readily and provides you with energy all day long.
Choose Food in Its Natural State. Try to eat the majority of your foods in their original form. In other words, try to eat foods that grow, such as carrots or beans, or foods that move, such as fish or chicken. When shopping for groceries, stay on the outside aisles of the store, where the fresh produce, dairy, seafood, grains, and meats are located; avoid the interior shelves, where high-fat, high-sodium, canned, boxed, frozen, and manufactured foods all reside.
Eat Protein With Every Meal. Complete protein contains the essential amino acids that are necessary to every cell in the body. Protein tends to feel more satisfying because it controls the appetite for a longer time. Complete protein comes from animals and their dairy by-products. Most nonanimal sources of protein are incomplete, and you must combine them with other protein sources to get all the essential amino acids.
Eat Vegetables With Every Meal. Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber essential for good health. Vitamin supplements are man-made attempts to supply the known vitamins and minerals that are used in the largest quantities by the body, but they are a poor replacement for the nutrients found in fresh vegetables and fruits.
Watch the Glycemic Index. Try to keep the glycemic index (GI) of your meals low so you can maintain consistent energy levels. During and right after exercise, however, consume foods with higher GI values to create an insulin spike so you can replace depleted glycogen more quickly and minimize muscle breakdown.
Eat a Variety of Foods. Try to eat as many different types of foods as possible, as doing so enhances your chance of consuming all the required nutrients. Select fruits and vegetables that vary enough in color to make up the entire spectrum of the rainbow at least once a week.
Drink Plenty of Water. Drink enough daily fluids to keep your urine nearly color-less. On your days off, that probably means drinking 64 fluid ounces (8 full cups, or 1.9 L) or more of water. On your exercise days, you may need to drink twice that amount. Your body is 60 percent water and requires water for a variety of physio-logical functions. Not drinking enough water can damage your health, reduce your performance, and increase your body fat.
Balance Your Fat Intake. Most people function well if their fat intake is between 20 and 40 percent of their total calories. Balance your fat intake among saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats so that you are consuming them in approximately equal amounts.
Adjust Nutrition to Training. Your body handles food differently during exercise and during the hour or so immediately after exercise. You can enhance your training efforts by adjusting your intake during this time. Consuming a drink combining high-GI carbohydrate with protein in a 2-to-1 ratio (two-thirds carbohydrate, one-third protein) both during and after training can replenish glycogen, decrease protein breakdown, and increase protein synthesis.
Allow Yourself to Cheat 10 Percent of the Time. By allowing yourself to cheat occasionally, you acknowledge that you do not have to eat perfectly in order to eat well.

Since Brantley began braiding hair for a living in 1980, state regulations have made it difficult for her - and braiders across Texas - to practice the trade openly.
The sentence from Constance implies that braiding, in relation to other textile work such as weaving, might have been considered a menial task.
Trinity Braiding enhances racquet performance by increasing the torsional stability of the Pro Braided.
Although African-style hair braiding requires no on-site cutting or washing, Cornwell would have to pay more than $7,000 to attend a state-approved beauty school in order to receive the proper license.
EDO's combination of braiding and RTM automates the fiber-application process and eliminates the need for significant part finishing.
A federal court in January ruled that Texas laws restricting Brantley's ability to open a hair braiding school were unconstitutional.
He opted to buy braiding machines and, rather than twisting the rope into plowlines, he made braided lengths and stitched them into circles, creating rugs.
In one of Saint James's strongest images in the book, the braiding scene, Neeny towers over Dada and Essie.
Braiding first entered America's cultural mainstream in the 1960s when Tyson sported cornrowed hair for a lead role in the movie ``Sounder.
1 New glass reinforcements - Added to the two most dramatic introductions were several other new rovings and fabrics and some particularly intriguing new capabilities in braiding.
The art and craft of rug braiding dates back to the early 1800s, but it's now disappearing.
NEW YORK -- EDO Corporation (NYSE: EDO) has manufactured a prototype engine-inlet duct using a low-cost VaRTM (Vacuum-assisted Resin Transfer Molding) and braiding process under the auspices of the Air Force Composite Affordability Initiative (CAI) program.

I am excited, I am determined, I am feeling the pinch of a deadline. I have 62 days before I go see the "super specialist" (the one in St. Louis), though this feels like an incredibly long time, I have decided to view it from the other side. I ONLY HAVE 62 DAYS!! I am going to dive headlong back into my weight loss efforts and push for my goal of 190 by my appointment. I am not sure that I can lose that much, but I am aiming high and would be content to be a few pounds away.
I am keeping my calorie limit at 1300, which I know sounds a tad low, but keep in mind that I am extremely sedentary right now and I need my weight loss to be as fast as healthfully possible. I cannot exercise, except with the least intensity possible and I spend a lot of my days in bed (pain does that). So I am trying to do very light walking daily and keep my focus on the diet aspect.
Honestly, I am glad for the distraction of weight loss, school, and mundane daily activities. Otherwise I think waiting the two months for the big appointment would be absolute torture. Here we go! I am settling in for the long haul, lets see what kind of progress I can make with a solid deadline and a doctor to face at the end of the line.
WOO!!! Consider my game face officially ON!!
Thanks for being awesome and supportive everyone! Let's do this together!
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I am very sad to hear about the pain side of your situation. I pray that you have the fastest 62 days of your life. I'm not sure what your condition is, but thinking positive, as you are, will only help to get you through all that comes your way. Keep up the wonderful determination, it sounds like you are mentally strong and that is what we all need to get through our troubles. Good luck with everything that comes your way these next two months.
Awesome! Keep up the great attitude and effort!

The harmful effects of lead poisoning are permanent. There is no cure just prevention.
Contractors,handyman services,property managers, and all others tradesmen who disturb known or presumed lead-based paint during renovation must be EPA certified renovators, certified in lead-safe work practices if their work disturbs more than 6 square feet of paint on the interior or a 20-square-foot section on the exterior of homes and childcare facilities built before 1978.
The older your home is, the more likely it contains lead-based paint, which can turn into fine, ingestible dust if disturbed. The RRP program was put in place to protect children and pregnant women from lead dust causing lead poisoning created by uncontained renovations, remodeling, home repairs and some painting activities. Most homes in Tampa are pre-1978 and require that lead-safe practices be used by your contractor, handyman, remodeler, painter, plumber, or electrician.
There are many misconceptions about lead paint; People seem to think lead paint is a problem of the past. People still believe that kids can only get lead poisoning by eating paint chips. This is not the case. Lead dust created during renovations and painting activity pose the highest lead poison threat to children. Though children below the age of 6 are at the highest risk health experts, say anyone can be poisoned by lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates some 250,000 U.S. children between the ages of 1 and 5 suffer from lead poisoning that number may be even higher. According to EPA, over one million kids have been poisoned by lead from old paint and uncontained renovations, meaning they have more than 5 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. Children who have elevated blood lead levels can experience developmental and behavioral problems leading to a lifetime of problems.

Buckingham Township, population 20,075 (2010) is located in the middle of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 25 miles north of Philadelphia. Over half of the 33-square-mile township is in farmland. Originally, the agricultural base consisted of small truck farms serving Philadelphia. But after WW II, many farmers found it necessary to lease more land and grow field crops.
Growth rates doubled in Buckingham Township in the 1970s and the township lost about one eighth of its farmland to development between 1967 and 1977. As a result, the preservation of agricultural land became a primary goal of the Township’s 1974 Comprehensive Plan. The Plan placed about one fifth of the Town’s land area in a development district and the remainder in agriculture and resource protection districts.
To implement the 1974 Plan, a zoning ordinance was adopted in 1975 that replaced the previous one-unit-per-acre blanket zoning with five new zoning districts. Land in the development district was upzoned to 2.5 units per acre; but to encourage farmland preservation, the ordinance included a TDR component that allowed even more density to projects using development rights transferred from farmland. Land in the preservation district was downzoned from one unit per acre to either 0.2, 0.3 or 0.5 units per acre for on-site development. However, as compensation for this downzoning, sending site owners were allowed to transfer development rights at the rate of one unit per acre.
The original program was hindered partly because the number of transferable rights in the sending areas far exceeded the number of rights which could be accommodated in the receiving areas. Other drawbacks included low demand for higher density developments and a lack of sewers and other infrastructure in the proposed receiving areas to accommodate increased densities.
In 1991, the Township undertook a Comprehensive Plan revision designed to control growth and preserve farmland. That plan revision led to the adoption of a new zoning code. The transfer of development rights portion of the new zoning code, adopted in 1994, reduced the number of available TDRs in the sending areas. This was supported by the provision of infrastructure in the receiving sites.
The original 1975 zoning ordinance incorporated an attractive incentive to transfer development rights from the sending sites in the Agricultural District (AG) to the other four zoning districts. In the AG district, by-right development could occur on site at relatively low densities of one unit per five acres, one unit per three acres or one unit per two acres. However, development rights could be transferred from these sending sites at the rate of one unit per acre; consequently, the transfer ratio ranged from 2:1 to 5:1. If sending site owners opted to build on sending sites, they were required to cluster new development on either 10 or 20 percent of the sending site and deed-restrict the remainder for agriculture.
When transferring development rights, sending site owners petitioned to have their land reclassified from AG-Agricultural to AP-Agricultural Preserve. The sending site owners also recorded a covenant specifying the restrictions placed on the land.
Similarly, receiving site owners were motivated to buy development rights by density increases of from 39 percent to 511 percent for receiving-site developments using TDR, depending on the type of development proposed. However, the receiving sites could only accommodate 1,862 units while the sending sites were capable of generating 12,474 development rights. In other words, there was no place to transfer the majority of the rights available in the sending areas.
In 1994 and 1995, Buckingham Township enacted significant amendments to the TDR component of its zoning ordinance. Under the new ordinance, sending sites are parcels within the Township’s two agricultural zoning districts, AG-1 and AG-2. These two zoning districts cover over half the Township’s total land area. Potential sending sites must be at least 25 acres in size and enrolled in the Township’s Agricultural Security District under the provisions of Pennsylvania state law. As of right density in the AG-1 is one unit per 1.8 acres.
To determine the number of transferable development rights available, the area precluded from development by easements and other deed restrictions is deducted from the total site area. Then, the base site area is calculated by further reducing the size of the site by the amount of acreage in flood plains, water areas, wetlands, steep slopes and forests. The number of development rights available for transfer is this base site area, in acres, multiplied by 0.85. In addition, one development right must be deducted for each dwelling unit located on the site. Using the example of a parcel with 100 acres of unrestricted land, the owner could build 55 units on site, (100/1.8), or transfer 85 dwelling units, (100 X 0.85). This represents a transfer ratio of 1.55 to one.
The transfer process begins when an agreement of sale for development rights, signed by both the seller and the buyer, is submitted to the Township Zoning Officer. The applicant must also submit a proposed covenant for the sending site which limits future uses to agriculture, agricultural-related activities and preservation of forests, fields, wetlands and other natural resources. The development rights are not transferable until this covenant has been approved by the Township and recorded.
Special procedures apply when property owners want to transfer only a portion of the development rights from their sending sites. In these procedures, the applicants first calculate the sending area’s resource-restricted land, or land constrained by flood plains, wetlands, forests and steep slopes. The land from which TDRs are proposed to be sold must have a ratio of resource-restricted land to total land area not greater than the ratio of resource-restricted land to total lot area of the entire property.
When property owners want to sell development rights from a portion of their land and develop the other portion, they must submit a sketch plan showing the total number of units which could be built on the site under normal, non-TDR code provisions. Then the number of TDRs transferred off this site is deducted from that total and the remainder is the number of units which can be built on site after the TDRs are transferred.
In 1994, Buckingham greatly increased the number of zoning districts eligible to receive TDRs. Now, receiving sites can be located in the Township’s two agricultural zones, AG-1 and AG-2, as well as four residential zoning districts: the Business & Residential District, the R-1 Residential District, the Village Residential-1 and the Village Residential-2 district.
Land in the two agricultural districts, AG-1 and AG-2, can be receiving sites as well as sending sites. As mentioned above, these two zones occupy more than half the land area of the Township. By-right density in these zones is one unit per 1.8 acres. Property owners can achieve smaller lot sizes, with no increased density, by clustering development on less than half the site. However, when TDRs are transferred to the site in conjunction with clustered subdivisions, density can be doubled.
To qualify for clustering options, land zoned AG-1 and AG-2 must be at least 25 acres in size. The land proposed to be set aside as open space must have Class I, II or III agricultural soils and be viable for farming: at least half of the proposed open space area must be in one parcel; all open space parcels must have a farmable shape with dimensions of at least 200 feet in all directions; and all open space parcels must have access to a public road and be accessible by farm equipment.
Once the receiving site subdivisions are approved, the open space parcels are precluded from further subdivision, regardless of any intervening zoning change, either through a notation on the subdivision plan or a deed restriction. Furthermore, subdivision plans must include the method in which the owner will comply with the Township’s code requirements for protecting and maintaining the open space for the preservation of farmland. The plan is considered a contract between the land owner and the Township.
Land in four residential zoning districts cannot be used as sending sites but can serve as receiving sites. In the Planned Business & Residential District and the Village Residential-3 District, the base density of five units per acre can be increased to 15 units per acre by transferring one development right for each additional unit, a 200 percent increase. Likewise, in the R-1 residential district, base density can be increased by 40 percent for cluster subdivisions using TDR. Furthermore, in the Village Residential-1 District, the maximum density can be doubled for cluster subdivisions using TDR.
Buckingham Township’s original TDR program was analyzed in a study prepared by Robert E. Coughlin in 1981. Coughlin found that 19 rights had been transferred, representing a preservation of 38 acres of land, within three years of the adoption of the ordinance in 1975. Ordinarily this would be considered a very good start. However, Coughlin observed that the first 12 rights were sold by the president of the community organization that spearheaded the agland preservation campaign.
When he prepared his 1981 study, Coughlin concluded that the Buckingham program was hampered primarily by the fact that people wanted larger lots rather than higher density development. In the 1970s, 19 transferred rights were used to build townhouses. In 1979, these were the only townhouses in the township and they sold slowly; however, the poor marketing performance may have been caused by the project’s design and proximity to a highway as well as its density. In addition, Coughlin noted that there were no sewers in the proposed receiving areas to accommodate the transferred development.
However, despite what he considers as moderate success for TDR, Coughlin documents that the Buckingham zoning ordinance, as a whole, was achieving many of its preservation goals. Between 1975 and 1980, almost 80 percent of new growth occurred in the development district and deed restrictions were placed on 108 acres of farmland, mostly as a result of clustering.
In 1978, the biennial review of the TDR program produced 13 recommendations, including: reducing base density allowed in development districts; increasing the size of the development district (to improve demand for development rights); investigating ways to provide sewerage to the development district; and exploring a bond issue to finance the purchase of development rights.
As discussed above, the original TDR program, adopted in 1975, was constrained by an overabundance of development rights in sending areas and a scarcity of infrastructure in receiving areas. Nevertheless, approximately 20 development rights were transferred in the 19 years in which the original TDR program was in effect.
The revised TDR ordinance of 1994 is designed to reduce the number of rights available for transfer; by reducing the supply, the price per TDR should rise, making it more attractive for sending site owners to sell these rights. On the receiving sites, the provision of infrastructure should likewise make the purchase of development rights more attractive to developers. In addition, Pennsylvania’s purchase of development rights program has made farmers feel more comfortable about treating development rights as a marketable commodity.
In 1975, Buckingham was one of the first jurisdictions in the United States to use TDR to preserve farmland. Over time, the Township added other preservation techniques to its preservation toolbox. In 1989, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania established a farmland preservation program. With the participation of Bucks County, this program preserved its first two farms in Buckingham Township in 1991. In 1995, the voters of Buckingham Township approved $4 million for farmland preservation, becoming the first municipality in Buck County to do this. The voters approved $9.5 million more for this program in 1999. In 2008, the voters approved a third referendum by a margin of 82 percent, authorizing the expenditure of another $20 million for the preservation of farmland and open space. As of 2009, 4,250 acres of land had been permanently preserved in Buckingham Township with 505 acres of this total preserved by TDR.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has adopted final amendments to its system of records notices under the Privacy Act of 1974 to ensure the Commission can disclose records to other agencies in the event of a data breach.
The Privacy Act of 1974 authorizes federal agencies to adopt routine uses of agency records subject to the Act as long as they are compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected. Acting on a recommendation from the President’s Identity Theft Task Force, the FTC in 2007 published a new routine use based on model language recommended from the Justice Department that allowed for disclosure of records to appropriate persons and entities in order to respond to a data breach. Since then, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) determined that the model language was too narrow and that agencies needed authority to make disclosures that go beyond those contemplated by the original routine use.
Based on additional guidance provided last year by OMB, the final amendments approved by the Commission will be published in the Federal Register shortly. The final amendments more specifically address that harm to individuals may justify a routine use disclosure, and add a second routine use to allow the FTC to disclose information to another federal agency when it is reasonably needed to respond to a breach.
After receiving three comments on the proposed routine use amendments, the Commission vote to approve publication of the final amendments in the Federal Register was 5-0.

According to informed sources, Egypt has proposed a meeting in Cairo for the factions, but Fatah has declined as it does not want to meet Hamas anywhere. They added that the secular group which controls the Palestinian Authority will also inform the factions that it will not attend any meetings in Moscow, under the pretext that it does not want to hold new meetings with the Islamic Resistance Movement. The Palestinian factions have all received official initiations from Russia to visit Moscow in early April.
They explained that although Egypt has called for a meeting between Fatah, Hamas, the Popular and Democratic Fronts for the Liberation of Palestine, as well as Islamic Jihad, only four factions will attend the meeting due to take place in the coming days.

Each summer season, the Theoretical Physics department of the Canadian organization of Physicists organizes a summer season institute of 2 weeks period on a present subject in theoretical physics. This quantity includes the lectures from the Pacific summer time Institute held at Pearson university on Vancouver Island, B. C. (Canada) from August 23 to September three, 1982. The Institute was once titled "Progress in Nuclear Dynamics: Short-Distance habit within the Nucleus". the first resource of cash for the Institute got here from NATO via its complex examine Institute programme. major finan cial help can be gratefully stated from TRIUMF, Simon Fraser college, common Sciences and Engineering examine Council of Canada, and Atomic strength of Canada Ltd. the subject of the college used to be the function of the substructure of hadrons--quarks and gluons--in nuclear physics. This contains not just the consequences that could be saw in particular nuclear states, similar to shape elements at huge momentum move, or the presence of hidden colour parts within the flooring states of few nucleon platforms, but additionally results that could be saw within the nuclear topic contin uum: the part transition from basic nuclear subject to a plasma of quarks and gluons. the present prestige of the lengthy distance phenom enology of the nucleus--the interacting boson approximation and the function of n's and ~'s in nuclear constitution, can be reviewed.
A great advent to the fundamental options of nuclear drugs physicsThis 3rd variation of necessities of Nuclear drugs Physics and Instrumentation expands the finely constructed illustrated evaluation and introductory advisor to nuclear drugs physics and instrumentation. besides easy, innovative, hugely illustrated subject matters, the authors current nuclear medicine-related physics and engineering ideas truly and concisely.
The fabric during this quantity used to be ready and picked up during the last 4 years with the turning out to be attention technical revolution used to be in development for diagnostic medication. It turned transparent that for the wide range of imaging tools and strategies discovering their manner into functions for study and scientific drugs, there has been a lack of reference and textual content books for the scientist and engineer starting within the box.
This booklet presents an outline on nuclear physics and effort construction from nuclear fission. It serves as a readable and trustworthy resource of data for an individual who desires to have a well-balanced opinion approximately exploitation of nuclear fission in energy crops. The textual content is split into elements; the 1st covers the fundamentals of nuclear forces and homes of nuclei, nuclear collisions, nuclear balance, radioactivity, and gives a close dialogue of nuclear fission and proper issues in its software to strength construction.
Simplest example of the way such terms are generated). However, we can remove such logs by setting V=E (equivalently the logs can be summed using the RGE).

In the analogous case of a meson-baryon collision (lb) one would expect the antiquark in the meson to be much more strongly attracted to the three quarks in the baryon than to the single quark in the meson. However, the antiquark stripping reaction (lb) does not occur. The stripping reaction (lb) might somehow be ruled out by a general principle forbidding production of states having fractional charge. But it would not forbid production of multiquark states with integral charges which are also not seen.

August Wilson is easily one of the most resonant writers of all time. His greatness lies in his ability to encompass the totality of the black psyche in a series of characters that resemble those you know and perhaps even portions of your own behavior or actions. Fences exhibits the height of Wilson’s talent—depicting the beauty and burden endured in the black familial environment. The play focuses on Troy, the Maxon family patriarch, who loves as vehemently as he struggles to keep his ahead above the tides of racism. Denzel Washington, produces and stars in a cinematic feature of this August Wilson classic. Washington maintains the creative and political integrity of the play—displaying the timeless nature of Wilson’s talent to a contemporary audience.
The film, like the play, illustrates black life as complicated and black love as a facet of this complication. The main characters each symbolically represent a prominent black perspective—all nurtured by the western world.
Rose, Troy’s wife, illustrates black optimism or disillusionment. For example, when Troy and Rose express opposing views on their son’s athletic ambitions, Rose’s perspective overlooks patterns that overtly refute her perspective. Namely, Rose states that there “are more black players” now than in her youth. While this may be true, the increase does little to overturn the overall lack of representation blacks face in the competitive industries. Her perspective also omits the clear fact that black pl ayers often make less, experience less playing time and perhaps most importantly, do not accurately reflect the height of black ability. Rose symbolically illustrates those of the black community that seek change so desperately that they incite said change in their forgetfulness. Rose represents blacks who buy into symbolism and thereby remain controlled systemically in the same manner that audiences concede to the allusions of magicians to escape the harsh realities that await them at home. These individuals fuel capitalism in their quest to fabricate change. Form the church, to artists that glamorize the perils of black life, Rose symbolizes the countless members of the black community who invent a false reality to dissolves racism simply by choosing to look past it.
I been standing with you! I been right here with you, Troy. I got a life too. I have eighteen years of my life to stand in the same spot with you. Don’t you think I ever wanted other things? Don’t you think I had dreams and hopes? What about my life? What about me. Don’t you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? You not the only one who’s got wants and needs. But I held on to you, Troy. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams… and I buried them inside you. I planted a seed and watched and prayed over it. I planted my self inside you and waited to bloom. And it didn’t take me no eighteen years to find out the soil was hard and rocky and it wasn’t never gonna bloom.
Brilliantly rendered to the audience by a skillful Viola Davis, Rose’s words unveil her disposition as a strategy implemented so that she could not only marry Troy but stay married. These half-truths and fantasies that foment her marriage and commitment do not thwart the genuine affinity she has for Troy, but demonstrates black love as afforded a texture impenetrable to the ingredients of traditional love. Thus, in order to make it work as a black couple, you must deter from tradition because it is literally you and your significant other against the world. You must have hope, and you must look past what conventions deem shortcomings to maintain a belief in your spouse and ultimately yourself. However, the candid admission unveiled in this monologue reveals that Rose is quite similar to Troy beneath the surface. Thus Rose’s hopefulness and optimism not only anchors her family but composes a platform for the familial unit to exist. It is hope that allows Rose to love Troy for all he isn’t, yet Troy on the other hand, loves Rose for all that she is. Perhaps most significantly, Troy needs Rose in a manner that thwarts his ability to fulfill this necessity through fantasy. Thus, Wilson brilliantly depicts the black love dynamic in Rose and Troy—unconventional, counterintuitive yet functional.
The analogy of running bases conveyed by Wilson through protagonist Troy, illustrates how racism allows white men to freely run bases where black men either strike out, are bench-ridden, or stuck on first. Fences depicts a cyclical pattern of black men employing women as means to ease their internal struggle. Thus, this behavior is not hyper sexual but systemic.
As a woman it troubles me to articulate the argument I just made, simply because it overtly seems like an excuse. On the other hand, coming to this revelation unveils black love as a complicated dynamic plagued by system not not by one another. Opting to be with a black male or female, comes with a series of challenges that does not reflect individual disfunction but the discordance nurtured by a society contingent on black disenfranchisement. Dr. Amos Wilson once said that “Black inferiority is a social necessity.” Presenting blacks as romantically incompatible to one another assumes a subversive role in proving black inferiority. Furthermore, Fences indirectly addresses those who opt to find love outside of the African diaspora. Namely, Fences covertly depicts love outside of the African as fence to avoid the adversity that hovers over those of African descent who choose to find love in one another.
True to its title, Fences in written and cinematic form depicts fences diversely and abundantly. Troy erects a fence between himself and a racist society. The depth of his struggle thwarts Troy’s ability to affectively channel and articulate his emotions. Thus, fences manifest in the relationships with those closest to him. Troy erects a fence between himself and his sons—chastising any decisions that seems able to render a fate similar to himself. So instead he ends up pushing most away—incidentally proving that love is far more significant than like. Similarly, Troy erects a fence between himself and Rose due to an internal battle he fights to feel worthy. The Troy and Rose dynamic also reflects the like and love concept, as even when Troy performs deeds that render him unlikeable, Rose still loves him. For instance, Troy fathers a daughter from his extramarital relations. After Troy’s mistress dies, Rose raises Troy’s daughter as her own. Now, there are a number of reasons why Rose could have done what she did. However, her decision to build.a family where she could have built a fence epitomizes not only the strength of the black woman, but the intensity of unconditional love. For it is solely unconditional love supersedes like. As Troy says “ Don’t you try and go through life worrying if somebody like you or not. You best be making sure they doing right by you” (Wilson 38). While Wilson displays unconditional love through individuals Troy and Rose, perhaps this dynamic is best executed as a means to uplift the black collective. Specifically, perhaps the best way to do right by one another as members of the black diaspora is to disregard like and love unconditionally.
Despite symbolically representing unconditional love, Rose erects a physical fence to shield her family from external forces. This action overlooks the internal affects yielded by eternal factors—making a physical fence as combative as a knife at a battle of firearms. Late scholar W. E. B. Dubious called these “fences” a veil. History does not call it anything, but our story calls it racism. Regardless of title, Fences reveals it is not the fences we see that poses the most detriment but the ones we cannot see that foments cyclical behavior and thoughts. These invisible fences are perhaps best illustrated through the fate allotted to the young black male characters in the play. By the end of the play, Troy is dead, Cory joins the marines, and Lyons, Troy’s older son, is incarcerated. To put it bluntly, by the end of the play, the characters who represent the “next generation” are systemized. This depiction illustrated fences that disguise themselves as opportunity. Furthermore, the fate issued to Cory and Lyons brilliantly illustrates that the only thing that changes with systemic racism is how it manifests. Cory and Lyons face the same battles the Troy faced, in the same way that Troy faced the same burdens of his father. Thus, perhaps the play’s most resounding message is that time, love, opportunity and change function as a means to convince us as the black collective that the highest and most impenetrable fences compose our past and not our present.
Wonderful review! I know two people that saw it and said the acting was A+. But I knew Denzel and Viola would raise the bar on this film. Most reviews have been positive. I will have to check this out.

Many hot water systems which require natural gas exhaust harmful gases while in operation. With an increased focus on space in residential developments, and the proximity of gas boilers to family members in residential hot water and pool heating systems, these systems often require lengthy flue systems to discharge these harmful gases.
Our Power Flue Dilution fans are specifically designed to work with Raypak gas heating systems to overcome the often large pressure requirements due to lengthy flues, especially in cases where the heating systems are installed in basements of residential developments with the flue discharging to atmosphere several stories above.
To ensure compliance with relevant building codes and legislation, care needs to be taken to ensure that sufficient clean air is introduced into the system to dispel harmful gases, as well as to ensure that the boiler functions effectively. We are experts in selecting the most appropriate fan for your system, so if you have an application that requires power flue dilution, please contact us to discuss how we can assist you.

This place is not so big; containing only around 10 tables in total, it gives a somewhat cozy atmosphere. Despite the size, I really love the concept of the interior! I gotta give it to the designer for the brilliant taste and execution: good material and choice of furniture.
This is what I'm talking about! My favorite is how they decorate their walls: pipes and valves in black! Combining the ideas of industrial and luxury, they come together really well. Love the metal chandelier as well! Since this is supposed to be a bistro with class, it is quite creative how they put together both elements that seem to contradict each other.
Now onto the tasting phase: we would like to tell you that in a proper western bistro, there's always this complimentary, simple, bread and butter. It comes differently in every restaurant, but here they use plain white buns. I'm pointing this out because you can actually measure a restaurant's level by judging the most simple dish. Right: fluffy, fragrant with a good quality butter. Great start!
Its presentation might be quite simple, but the taste is just perfect! I believe that the key of a good pasta lies on a combination of texture, sauce, and topping. This one has it all!
Cooked in a proper al dente texture, it has a good harmony with the tenderness of the pulled beef, and finally wed with a wonderfully precise amount of cream sauce with a little bit of parsley.
The only thing I dislike about "donburi" is that its lack of photogenic quality. But don't let this simple picture fool you: When this thing got into my mouth, it seemed like I went to heaven. Again : Heaven.
The tenderness of the ox tongue is just so overwhelming that it feels like it melts in your mouth! Along with the sauce (wasn't mentioned in the menu, but it tastes like teriyaki to me) and perfectly cooked rice, this simply breathtaking dish is totally gonna blow your mind!
As I always say, there's a reason a dish is called classic: Its taste is just simply timeless. Fried to a glistening golden color, both the chips and the fish fillet were great! You can see sprinkles of sea salt there, which enriches the overall taste greatly. Simple method that works best: dip it in the tartar sauce!
I'm starting to love the idea of simple and classic of this place. The ingredients might be similar to what you usually meet in other bistros and restaurants; but the way each of them is cooked was so perfect: once you give it a taste, it's as if you're tasting an entirely different dish than what you've tried before!
Let me boast about how it tastes: crispy fried skin, yet tender on the inside. The sauce was a bit salty and sweet, which unites both the salmon and the pomme.
Mmm.. I can't deny that my asian blood is boiling when this one came to our table. Pork, despite its unappealing nutritional facts, is always the best kind of guilty pleasure. As this is served in a western style, we eat it together with perfectly made mashed potatoes simmered with eastern gravy. Fantastic!
The crispiness of the pork skin and chewiness of the fatty meat, eaten together with the soft mashed potatoes..It's so wonderful that I'm at a loss of words. Usually we can still point out any dish's shortcoming, like its side dish or its sauce. But we gotta take our hats off for this place!
Now! and I just talked about shortcoming. The menu said that it is for 4 people, but I think I could finish this one off myself! The taste though? Mesmerizing. Tender and perfectly medium grilled, nice side dish. Almost all of them are so good that I don't know what to say anymore. However, since this is a rib eye, There's a good portion of fat, which I'm not a big fan of.
I am regretful to tell that a perfect culinary place does not always serve the best coffee. This one is the same. Since I'm a very big fan of coffee, taste matters so much to me. However, if you're the type to put sugars on your coffee, this might still do.
Now to close it off! After trying so many main courses, we could only manage to fit one dessert menu into our tummy. We are certainly not disappointed by this one! With a good mixed taste of sweet, sour, and salty, it's so refreshing for a fully filled tummy. However, in my opinion, if they made the crust more crunchy and thick, it would make a perfect dessert!
Final comment? Despite the perfect taste and ambiance, we personally think that the place is quite overpriced for West Jakarta area. Knowing that the public prefers a full tummy rather than an elegant dinner, the lack of quantity in each serving portion could make this place less attractive.
Still, hands down for this place for its food quality, and congratulations for the opening!
What a nice tour, I feel like I’ve already been there. I think that a good bartender goes a long way in making it the best hotel bar nyc. The atmosphere and the crowd also count a lot.

Living less than 200 miles away in Valencia, it’s hard to understand why it took us so long to go to Mallorca. The largest of the Balearic Islands archipelago, Mallorca (also spelled Majorca) is home to some of the most absolutely epic beaches we’ve ever seen.
The calas (coves, in Spanish) of southeast Mallorca, near Cala D’Or (where we stayed) in particular, are incredible. The beaches are small, but the water is crystal clear and incredibly calm. Although a very touristy island (especially the Cala D’Or area), the never-ending and completely stunning coastline of Mallorca, along with its calm waters made it easy to relax among the throngs of German and British tourists.
We spent the days lazily lying on the beach, hiking to hidden calas, and leaping off clifftop perches into the cool water of the Mediterranean. Less than 45-minutes flying from Valencia, it’s safe to say we’ll be back soon!

ENENews: “…in Hawaii — Birds dying of unusual cancers, rarely seen in wildlife” Wow! I guess that no one told Hawaii About Fukushima!
Focus: Sea Urchin Disease — The Nature Conservancy (TNC) first observed sick-looking urchins at an old sunken barge [in] Oahu. They were also observed more recently on patch reefs in Kaneohe Bay (KB), Oahu… The first report of sick-looking urchins was made back in late February of 2014. Then in early May, sick-looking urchins were observed at KB… HFS [Honolulu Field Station], DLNR [Department of Land and Natural Resources], and TNC set out to investigate and conducted surveys at both sites, collecting healthy and sick urchins.
Necropsies were then conducted at the HFS lab to determine cause of death… Affected urchins have dull flattened spines (droopy urchins), or gradual to complete loss of spines (outside skeleton bare). Some are found empty with some tissue and spine remaining on their surface. At this point, the public is encouraged to report any sick or dead urchins to the Eyes Of the Reef network in order to determine how widespread this event is. Laboratory efforts are underway to try and identify what is causing this disease.
Necropsy Files: Tumors in Birds — In August 2013, an adult nene from Hawaii died of lymphoma, a cancer of blood cells. In September, 2013, a critically endangered Rota crow died from liver cancer. These two cases were unusual in that cancer is rare in wildlife in general. Most wild animals do not live long enough to get cancer and usually die from things like starvation, trauma, or infectious diseases.
Dept. of Land & Natural Resources: February 2014, biologists from TNC reported a large number of sick-looking collector sea urchins… in Maunalua Bay on Oahu. [USGS] was notified and began an initial assessment… The preliminary diagnosis for the sea urchins is that it is a type of disease. The sick urchins have patchy loss of their spines and lesions (or wounds)… A “Call to Action” was sent out to the Eyes of the Reef (EOR) Network, asking the public to report any observations of sick-looking collector urchins… In early May 2014, sick-looking urchins were also observed in Kaneohe bay, on the Windward side of Oahu. About 10% of urchins on one patch reef showed signs of the disease… Monitoring on a monthly basis continues by a team composed of DLNR, USGS, and TNC staff… Important Findings — 6/2/2014 – DAR, USGS, and TNC respond to Eyes of the Reef reports of sick-looking urchins on Maui… it’s recommended that the community continues to report sick urchins… Next Steps — USGS continues to conduct lab studies to determine the exact cause of the disease and if the same disease is affecting urchins on Oahu and Maui.
