I've been combing through Henry Fielding works and have concluded that he would have had a field day with Donald Trump. Hang on to your hats.
One of my favorite Tom Jones quotations explains how villain Blifil succeeds as long as he does. Since Trump has gone further than anyone expected, it's worth checking out Fielding's explanation, which invokes the Faustus story:
I look upon the vulgar observation, 'That the devil often deserts his friends, and leaves them in the lurch,' to be a great abuse on that gentleman's character. Perhaps he may sometimes desert those who are only his cup acquaintance; or who, at most, are but half his; but he generally stands by those who are thoroughly his servants, and helps them off in all extremities, till their bargain expires.
Not one of Trump's opponents, either in the primaries or in the general election, went as far as he did. Having gone all in on lying, boasting, threatening, intimidating, stealing, suing, and possibly colluding with a foreign adversary—no mere cup acquaintance he–Trump continues to profit handsomely. There's no telling when his devil's bargain will expire.
In "Essay on the Knowledge of the Characters of Men," Fielding discusses how a good politician can "impose upon" his constituents to sacrifice their own interests to his own. By this measure, Trump is a superb politician:
[A]s it is impossible that any man endowed with rational faculties, and being in a state of freedom, should willingly agree, without some motive of love or friendship, absolutely to sacrifice his own interest to that of another; it becomes necessary to impose upon him, to persuade him, that his own good is designed, and that he will be a gainer by coming into those schemes, which are, in reality, calculated for his destruction. And this, if I mistake not, is the very essence of that excellent art, called the art of politics.
We should therefore, Fielding tells us, regard politics as a vast masquerade:
Thus while the crafty and designing part of mankind, consulting only their own separate advantage, endeavor to maintain one constant imposition on others, the whole world becomes a vast masquerade, where the greatest part appear disguised under false visors and habits…
The rest of Fielding's essay instructs people on how not to get conned by such types.
Fielding's most extensive look at a Trump-like character occurs in The History of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great. Fielding claims that the work is about a notorious criminal, but it is really about Whig prime minister Robert Walpole, whom Fielding despised. The similarities between Wild/Walpole and Trump are unsettling. For instance, Fielding describes a boldness unhampered by honesty in carrying out cunning enterprises:
He was extremely ingenious in inventing designs, artful in contriving the means to accomplish his purposes, and resolute in executing them: for as the most exquisite cunning and most undaunted boldness qualified him for any undertaking, so was he not restrained by any of those weaknesses which disappoint the views of mean and vulgar souls, and which are comprehended in one general term of honesty, which is a corruption of HONOSTY, a word derived from what the Greeks call an ass.
The narrator notes that Wild/Walpole is also free of modesty and good-nature. Instead lust, ambition, and greed drive him:
He was entirely free from those low vices of modesty and good-nature, which, as he said, implied a total negation of human greatness, and were the only qualities which absolutely rendered a man incapable of making a considerable figure in the world. His lust was inferior only to his ambition; but, as for what simple people call love, he knew not what it was. His avarice was immense, but it was of the rapacious, not of the tenacious kind…
The narrator goes on to say that his "rapaciousness was indeed so violent" that he squeezes every penny, not only out of his victims, but out of his allies. Keep in mind that the Republican National Committee is currently paying the legal bills of Trump and Trump, Jr.:
Above all, Wild/Walpole values hypocrisy. Without it, he could not have accomplished so much or been the prig (rhymes with Whig, used to mean coxcomb) that he is:
The character which he most valued himself upon, and which he principally honored in others, was that of hypocrisy. His opinion was, that no one could carry priggism very far without it; for which reason, he said, there was little greatness to be expected in a man who acknowledged his vices, but always much to be hoped from him who professed great virtues.
The narrator then lists the rules by which Wild/Walpole operates. The following seem particularly applicable to our own president:
–To know no distinction of men from affection; but to sacrifice all with equal readiness to his interest.
–Never to communicate more of an affair than was necessary to the person who was to execute it.
–To shun poverty and distress, and to ally himself as close as possible to power and riches.
–To foment eternal jealousies in his gang, one of another.
–Never to reward any one equal to his merit; but always to insinuate that the reward was above it.
–That all men were knaves or fools, and much the greater number a composition of both.
–That a good name, like money, must be parted with, or at least greatly risked, in order to bring the owner any advantage.
–That many men were undone by not going deep enough in roguery; as in gaming any man may be a loser who doth not play the whole game.
–That men proclaim their own virtues, as shopkeepers expose their goods, in order to profit by them.
One other Trump-like resemblance comes to mind. In Fielding's play The Historical Register for the Year 1736, a fiddler, once again a stand-in for Walpole, bribes his fellows so that they will dance to his tune. The author within the play explains what happens next.
Sir, every one of these patriots has a hole in his pocket, as Mr. Quidam, the fiddler, there knows; so that he intends to make them dance till all the money is fallen through, which he will pick up again, and so not lose one halfpenny by his generosity.
Time and again, the GOP has allowed itself to be bought off by Trump, only to find itself with empty pockets.
The history of Fielding's play, however, carries a sobering lesson. It so upset Walpole that he enacted the Licensing Act of 1737, thereby blacklisting Fielding and effectively ending political commentary in the theater. Trump too dreams of having such power, as indicated by yesterday's tweet that Senate's investigatory committee should turn its attention to the media for reporting bad things about him,
The licensing act, though it wouldn't be entirely repealed until 1968, failed to silence Fielding, who (fortunately for literature) turned to fiction. I suspect the American news media won't back down either. Nevertheless, it's worrisome to hear a president talk this way.
One other Walpole-Trump resemblance is worth mentioning. Like the prime minister, who was roasted by Pope and Swift as well as Fielding, our president is the unceasing target of the major comic writers of his day.

If you have noticed a leak in your roof, the first thing is to try and track it down. The first step is to see if you have visual penetrations point on your roof. Items that penetrate the roof are the most common factor in roof leaks. Its quite rare for a standard slate or tile roof to develop a leak without some sort of dislodgement or penetration through the roof. Don't forget to include chimneys, dormer windows, ventilation pipes or anything else that projects up through the roof.
If you can get into your attic and look from the inside, it can really help sometimes in locating that leak. There will be mold or water staining in the area which has the leaking point. But if access is a problem or you have a high attic ceiling, you'll have to go up onto the roof and examine the roof externally.
If the problem still isn't obvious, you can use the hose method. This involves getting a 2nd person to spray water onto the roof using a hose. Start on the bottom end first to make sure the water doesnt run past the leak, soaking the area slightly above the leak as it appears in the house. Isolate areas when you run the hose.
For example, soak the downhill side of a chimney first, then each side, then the top on both sides. Have your helper stay inside the house waiting for the drip to appear. Let the hose run for several minutes in one area before moving it up the roof a little farther. Tell your helper to give a shout out when the leak becomes visible. You'll be in the vicinity of the leak area. This process can take a while so have patience while you are doing it.
We recommend as with all things professional to use a proper roofing company. Even when you do locate the leak, the issue becomes fixing that leak properly. This is why you should call a proper and certified Dublin roofing contractor out.
Make sure to see some qualifications and get a few different quotations so you get a fair price on the repair work. We recommend if you live in the Limerick area or the Dublin area to pick a professional like Roofing Pro. You can find them at http://www.dublinroofingandguttering.ie

Taking a look at the best of the prelims and main card for the biggest card in UFC history. A historic night at a worthy venue, ill be casting my opinion on the match ups and giving a prediction of how i think they'll go down.
Jim Miller (27-8-1 MMA 16-7-1 UFC) v Thiago Alves (21-10 MMA 13-7 UFC) (155lbs)
i was really looking forward to seeing 'Raging' Al Iaquinta, especially at MSG where he was sure to be a local favourite. That unfortunately fell through after negotiations crashed and a public fallout ensued. Miller though is a more than worthy replacement, more exciting still is seeing Alves debut at 155lbs. He's always looked like a good-sized welterweight, once battling GSP for the 170lbs title. His power was never in question at that weight so i cant wait to see how he transitions into the lightweight division.
GASP verdict – Jim Miller is a seasoned veteran of the sport and a durable opponent, unfortunately im not giving him much hope in this one. I see the power of Alves being far to overwhelming. Thiago 'Pitbull' Alves wins via 2nd round KO.
Khabib Nurmagomedov (23-0 MMA 7-0 UFC) v Michael Johnson (18-10 MMA 9-6 UFC) (155lbs)
Undefeated and so far walking through every opponent that is put in front of him, Khabib Nurmagomedov looks a champion in waiting. Johnson does however have some great stand up, and although outclassed on the feet two fights ago against Nate Diaz, is coming off a great finish of Lightweight contender Dustin Poirier. I just don't see that stand up helping him too much though, Khabib seems to rag doll everybody and i fear for his opponents the second he gets his hands on them.
GASP VERDICT – not a hugely difficult one to call in my books, the grappling and wrestling of 'The Eagle' should be too much to contain for Johnson. If Khabib comes in completely healthy and injury free look for him to drive the will out of Johnson with his relentless pace and aggression. Khabib Nurmagomedov wins via 2nd round Stoppage after a brutal session of ground and pound.
Tim Kennedy (18-5 MMA 3-1 UFC) v Rashad Evans (19-5-1 MMA 14-5-1 UFC) (185lbs)
We haven't seen Kennedy since the 'Stool gate' debacle against Yoel Romero and if that had gone his way, or ended the way it should have, he could have been right in the mix at the top of the middleweight division. Rashad on the other hand has looked vulnerable in the octagon as of late, increasingly so last time out against Glover Teixeira. Theres no doubting the legacy of Evans who is a pioneer of the sport, taking it into the new age that we see today but a debut against a legitimate 185 contender is a huge mountain to climb.
GASP VERDICT – Rashad will be looking to reignite his career after a string of lacklustre performances and a brutal knock out loss at the hands of Teixeira last time out. I'm not sure the drop to 185 is a step in the right direction for Evans though, Tim Kennedy is a top Middleweight contender and i feel Rashads deteriorating chin will be his downfall. Tim Kennedy wins via 3rd round KO.
Preliminary Headline (155lbs)
Frankie Edgar (20-5-1 MMA 14-5-1 UFC v Jeremy Stephens (25-12 MMA 12-11 UFC)
A fight between two of the best featherweights on the UFC roster, this one would easily be a co-main event on any other main card. Frankie will be used to five round fights and going the distance when required so cardio will be no downfall of his in this one. He's going to have to find a way to nullify the nuclear power 'That Guy' Jeremy Stephens carries in his hands. Look for Edgar to dictate the pace and stay out of range of those nasty combos.
GASP VERDICT – if Stephens is going to have any chance in this one he is going to have to come out fast and firing early. That being the case, i just see Frankie being too smart and avoiding too much danger. Frankie Edgar win comfortably via unanimous decision.
Meisha Tate (18-6 MMA 5-3 UFC) v Raquel Pennington (8-5 MMA 5-2 UFC)
This is a comeback fight for Tate. I am a big Pennington fan, and she showed a whole lot of talent by almost beating Holly Holm but it is hard to envision her winning this fight. Tate is the better wrestler, the better submission grappler and the better striker, by virtue of her speed, power and adaptability. Pennington is tough enough and skilled enough to make her work and maybe even make her look bad, but this is Tate's fight to lose.
GASP VERDICT – I just don't see Pennington getting enough time and room to implement her game plan, Tate via unanimous decision looks the best bet here.
Donald Cerrone (31-7-1 MMA 18-4 UFC) v Kelvin Gastelum (12-2 MMA 6-2 UFC)
A great matchup for two fighters looking to propel themselves up the welterweight ranking charts. An incredibly close match up to call for me with Cowboy looking so impressive since his move up to 170lbs. I feel Gastelum has a lot to offer in this fight though, one of the biggest Welterweights in the division, he has an outstanding wrestling and grappling pedigree. As long as Gastelum has his weight issues under control i feel he is more than a match for Cerrone, who has looked one of the UFCs most exciting fighters since his defeat to Rafael Dos Anjos.
GASP VERDICT – Look for this bout to be back and forth, Given Gastelum makes the weight efficiently, he's right in this one. Cowboys striking is some of the best in the world which makes this one such a difficult one to call. I'm going for Gastelum to just edge this one winning via decision.
Chis Weidman (13-1 MMA 9-1 UFC) v Yoel Romero (12-1 MMA 7-0 UFC)
This fight card would not hae been the same without Chris Weidman on it, heck it might never have gone ahead without all of his help in campaigning for the legalisation of MMA in the state of New York. As goes for the fight, another tough call between two of the divisions elite. Two superb wrestlers, i like to give Weidman the edge. The former 185lbs Champion has some outstanding stand up (as long as he's not throwing any spinning wheel kicks of course) and the cardio to go with it. Cardio however is something that Romero clearly struggles with (just ask Tim Kennedy). The Olympic wrestling gold medallist has undeniable talent and seems to grind out win after win, but can he cope with the relentless championship mindset of Chris Weidman?
GASP VERDICT – I see Weidman playing this one smart, he'll undoubtedly have to weather an early onslaught from the powerful cuban, but that's exactly what he's been used to. I see Weidman taking Romero deep into the fight to make the most of his cardio. Chris Weidman wins via 3rd round KO.
Strawweight World Championship Bout. Co-main event.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk (12-0 MMA 6-0 UFC) v Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0 MMA 3-0 UFC)
The battle of the Polish Warriors. I just can't look past the 115lbs phenom Jedrzejczyk in this one. A vicious and savage fighter, I don't think ive seen anyone enjoy a scrap quite as much as her. Karolina though, is coming off a good win against a tough Rose Namajunas. This fight is a whole different world of unarmed warfare. Joanna is the elite of the elite with her striking being arguably the best in the world, male or female. A fan favourite i feel Karolina is going to struggle.
GASP VERDICT – I think Karolina looked out of her depth under the bright lights at the 205 press conference and a previous loss to Joanna in her amateur days may just add to the pressure of the occasion not to mention the mental warfare that Jedrzejczyk will throw at her. Kowalkiewicz is tough but not on Joanna's level in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if JJ finishes this one but im going for Joanna Jedrzejczyk win via unanimous decision.
Welterweight World Championship bout. Co-main event.
Tyron Woodley (16-3 MMA 8-2 UFC) v Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA 8-1 UFC)
Woodley put on a scintillating performance at **UFC 202?** knocking out then Champion Robbie Lawler with a thunderous right hand. Woodley, looking to cement himself as the king of the 170lbs division couldn't have chosen a more difficult opponent and stage to do it on. MSG is the biggest card in history, not to mention the most iconic combat sports arena in the world. Too add to the pressure he's coming up against a lot of people's favourite Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson. Wonderboy has been doing everything he needs to in order to get his shot at gold, knocking out former champions and comfortably beating former #1 contenders. I was surprised to see Woodley so flustered when booed at the 205 press conference and as petty as it may be, i feel that has an effect on him no longer being a fans favourite.
GASP VERDICT – Thompson exudes confidence and i believe, the best style to trouble Woodley. The long range, point winning style just seems too good for him to not come out on top. AND NEW! Stephen Thompson wins via unanimous decision.
MAIN EVENT. Lightweight World Championship bout.
Eddie Alvarez (28-4 MMA 3-1 UFC) v Conor McGregor (20-3 MMA 8-1 UFC)
What a headliner to kick off this momentous card for the UFC in New York. Mr Main Event himself in an all out war against one of the toughest guys the UFC has to offer, Eddie Alvarez. A surprising new champion after stopping Rafael Dos Anjos in savage fashion, Alvarez looked a little overwhelmed at the 205 press conference, where as usual, media magician McGregor was in his element. The Philadelphia native has come up against some of the toughest and best opposition in the world on his road to gold, never though, has he come up against someone quite like Conor Mcgregor. McGregor has mental warfare like no other and with his first UFC loss against Nate Diaz avenged at record breaking UFC 206, rightfully headlines the historic first Madison Square Garden card. As good as McGregor has been in his undefeated Featherweight Championship run, scary enough I don't think we've seen the best of him. An outlandish statement i know, but the 155lbs weight limit just seems like the perfect weight. We know how much power he carries at 145lbs and im sure Nate Diaz can confirm that power resonates at 170lbs as well, knocking the Stockton bad boy down no less than three times. Alvarez is the Champion for a reason and some of the wars he's been in within the UFC and also in Bellator speak for themselves. I genuinely can't wait for this match up, like any other McGregor fight, the anticipation is beyond that of the norm.
GASP VERDICT – Im looking forward to these two getting into a Bloody war. That being said, i feel Conor has just too much, his power, his speed and his sharp angles will be too much for Alvarez to contend with. McGregor has also been involved in 3 of the 4 companies biggest PPVs. He thrives off such pressure, where im not sure Alvarez will be used to anything like this.
AND NEW! Conor Mcgregor wins via 2nd round KO.

The organisation NAROM – partly supported by the Norwegian Government – was formed in 2000 and organises a lot of space eduction activities to ensure recruiting, promote appreciation for the benefits of space activities, and to stimulate the interest for science in general.
Introduction to the CaNoRock Program
Most countries in the western world strive to motivate young people to choose natural science and technical studies. A lack of highly educated employers can become a problem if the western countries intend to maintain a leading role in the technical development. The field of space research and space utilisation is not an exception. Norway and Canada intend to be in the forefront, thus they have invested resources in a program to motivate young students to seek a career within the space research field – the CaNoRock program.
European Space Masters-students to Kiruna
The Erasmus Mundus programme in the field of higher education promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world and supports the European top-quality Masters Courses.
The Norwegian Student Satellite Project NCUBE
Since January 2002, approximately 80 students from the Norwegian University of Technology and Science (NTNU), Narvik University College (HiN) and the Agricultural University of Norway (NLH) have participated in the design and conception of the first Norwegian student satellite.

Frankfurt am Main is a bustling German city situated in the federal state of Hesse. Arguably the most prominent financial hub in Europe, Frankfurt is home to the headquarters of the European Central Bank, German Federal Bank, and one of the world's most active and important stock exchanges. Although adorned by sleek skyscrapers and modern structures, Frankfurt also proudly displays its historical roots by preserving portions of its older, less modern neighborhoods and streets.
Frankfurt is known for its lively downtown financial center replete with lofty glass and concrete buildings such as Eurotower and Commerzbank Tower, Europe's second tallest high-rise. Conversely, Frankfurt also boasts a city district called Altstadt which means "old town." Altstadt is Frankfurt's historical center that dates back to the late 700's. Lined with timber-framed edifices inspired by the architectural style of the Middle Ages, Altstadt arouses a sense of wonder and awe amongst its visitors.
Frankfurt features numerous significant religious landmarks such as the Frankfurt Cathedral, Saint Paul's Church, and Holy Cross Church. Other notable attractions in Frankfurt consist of Palmengarten, Germany's largest botanical garden; Zeil, a pedestrian-only shopping street; and an abundance of cultural institutions like the German Architecture Museum called Deutsches Architekturmuseum and the country's leading opera company Oper Frankfurt.
About half an hour's drive westward of Frankfurt is Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse. Wiesbaden is renowned in Europe as a spa town because of its many hot springs. A popular spot in Wiesbaden is the Schloßplatz which means "palace square." The square has the magnificent Wiesbaden City Palace and parliamentary building Landtag of Hesse. Wiesbaden also boasts multiple architectural marvels built in the neoclassical and baroque styles.
Located eastward from Frankfurt in just under a half an hour's drive is the historic city of Offenbach am Main. The city survived bombings from Allied Forces during World War II. Distinguished points of interest in Offenbach are the Offenbach Design University, German Leather Museum, and Klingspor Museum which displays calligraphy and typography. Also, since over half of the city's population is constituted by non-German inhabitants including Turks, Arabs, Greeks, Poles, and Italians, Offenbach has a deliciously diverse culinary scene.

My name is Ruby Love. I am multimedia artist focusing on documentary projects. I also work as the Arts & Culture editor of The Evergreen State College newspaper, The Cooper Point Journal.
I have worked to explore both traditional and modern photographic processes in order to master the creation of my images. Building a home darkroom at 14, I taught myself to process my own film and prints; learning the most fundamental aspects of photography. My interest in developing my own work and research of traditional methods like the Zone System have helped me cultivate a hands-on approach and enabled me to gain greater control over the process of photography. Merging my photographic work with writing, audio recording, and video production, I am pursuing documentary projects which combine media to create a more immersive experience.
Past projects include Mojo Hand Zine, a collection of art and writing by local artists published semi-regularly, and The Ink Drop, a 365-day art project featuring work based on a daily prompt-a randomly selected dictionary word.
My latest project, House[less] is a documentary series featuring still portraits and audio interviews. The project focuses on the lives of ten individuals living without stable housing in Olympia, Washington.
I am currently working on a project which explores family narratives, identity, and sense of place through photography, video, and audio interviews. I am pursuing a degree in documentary photography and curatorial methods from The Evergreen State College.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have called it quits.
The couple has reportedly broken up, but it may not be for good. "They were moving too fast," a source tells Us Weekly. "They had a fight about how much time they had been spending together but they'll be back. This is a relationship in the fast lane. It all moves fast, so the breakups are dramatic too, like the relationship. They could be back together whenever, it's so dramatic."
But, that's not the only things that leads us to believe that the two have actually split. They both also deleted all evidence of their relationship on their Instagram accounts. Rob deleted every single photo from his account, except the one below.
Then on Sunday (Mar. 6, 2016), Chyna posted her own quote, along with a photo of a woman with her arms outstretched. "When you just get out of a relationship & your hoe friend welcomes you back into the World of Hoe," the photo — now deleted — read.
But is it really over? Probably not. Earlier this week, Rob declared his love for Chyna on social media. "Love this woman right here so f–k y'all with your negative comments!!" he wrote.
Stay tuned for more on their whirlwind of a romance…

The Jones' Fought Their Contractor's Lien and Won
Robinson and Henry, P.C., successfully represented Brian and Ann Jones in defending against a wrongful contractor's lien (called a "mechanic's lien" in Colorado) recorded by Backyard Outdoor Construction. Backyard recorded its mechanic's lien against the Jones' home in March of 2015, 8 months after the last day of construction. The company demanded more than $46,000 for unpaid construction services. Real estate attorneys Donald Eby and Andrew Kurpanek, found the lien to be invalid, as it was not recorded within the statutorily allowed time for recording a mechanic's lien and the work was not completed in a workmanlike manner. After being confronted with this fact, Backyard backed down from its demand and the Jones paid nothing to Backyard Outdoor Construction. Ultimately, the lien against the Jones residence was released.
Brian and Ann entered into a contract with Backyard Outdoor Construction ("Backyard") wherein Backyard would furnish the materials and perform the labor necessary for transforming the Jones' backyard from a dirt pit to a manicured living space, a contract valued at over $66,000.
Ultimately, the Jones stopped Backyard's construction due to unreasonable project delays and poor quality workmanship. The Jones attempted to settle with Backyard agreeing to pay for the amount of work performed and materials provided, however were unable to reach an agreeable amount. Then, about eight months after Backyard's the last day of construction, Backyard recorded a mechanic's lien against the Jones' home demanding more than $46,000.
Mr. Jones spoke with Don Eby about the mechanic's lien recorded against his property and chose to retain Robinson & Henry. After researching the facts and the mechanic's lien statute Donald Eby and Andrew Kurpanek presented evidence to Backyard demonstrating that the recorded lien was not timely recorded and was thus invalid. Evidence developed also validated the Jones' concerns about the quality of workmanship.
When asked about the successful resolution of the Jones case, Andrew Kurpanek said, "we approached the Jones case the same way we do every mechanics lien case; we verified the lien was invalid and approached the lien claimant pointing out the infirmities in the invalid lien, and ultimately convinced the opposing party that is was in their best interest to release the invalid lien rather than pursue litigation which will ultimately prove unsuccessful and expensive."
By clearly presenting the facts, statutes, and case law, the Robinson and Henry contractor's lien attorneys were able to convince to Backyard that the lien it had recorded was invalid, and refusing to release the lien or even pursuing foreclosure of the lien, would prove to be an expensive loosing battle. In the end, the Jones made no payment to Backyard, the lien was released from the Jones property providing clear title, and they were not forced to pay $46,000 to a contractor who did not complete the project which it was hired do perform.
"I felt most confident with Robinson and Henry P.C…I felt like my experience was customer focused, completed in a timely manner, and they kept me informed every step of the way." Brian Jones
Past results afford no guarantee of future results; each matter is different and must be judged on its own merits. Facts are those of an actual Robinson and Henry mechanic's lien case; the names of both the client and the opposing party have been changed to protect the privacy of the parties.

Worth of Inflow Forecast for Reservoir Operationby William W-G. Yeh, (M.ASCE), Prof.; School of Engrg. and Applied Science, Univ. of California, Los Angeles, Calif.,

Document Type: Journal Paper
This study assesses improved benefits that might be gained from the use of long-range streamflow forecasts in the operation of a typical multipurpose reservoir. Long-range is defined as a period of time ranging from one month to one year. The Oroville-Thermalito reservoir system of the California State Water Project (SWP) is selected for study; major benefits to be derived from long-term streamflow prediction for this system are hydropower generation, water conservation for irrigation and/or other beneficial uses, and decreased seepage damage to crops. Flood control benefits are potentially high but those benefits are more amenable to short-term rather than long-term forecasting. Incremental benefits are determined as functions of forecast time and accuracy on the basis of general adherence to current operating rules. The reservoir is theoretically operated over the 1914-73 time period; forecasts and comparisons are based on the historical streamflows. Procedure failure is defined as inability to meet a minimum storage constraint at any time over the 60-year period. To provide an additional evaluation of benefits from forecasting, analyses are also made using the historical means as estimates of future streamflows.

Natural healing
I've been struggling mentally a bit lately. I think I'm fairly good at hiding it from most people, not all. People that know me well know the signs. Anyway. It came to a bit of a head this morning and I was having trouble coping with life in general not to mention a teething baby and a five year old who just wants to play. We'd planned a grand day out with Granny but ended up going to the local Wildfowl Reserve instead. We go there a fair bit. It's free and it's lovely and it's quite peaceful.

Question about Refrigerators
I have a Cuisinart Private Reserve cwc-900 wine cellar, which has stopped cooling. It has a Thermoelectic compressor-less cooling system, which looks like a little square plate sandwiched between to heat sinks, one small and one large on the exterior. It looks like some fluid has drained from this apparatus but I don?t know from witch part. I have disassembled it and the square plate (part # tec1-127-08) was covered with white stuff that resembles wet paint. The plate still gets hot. Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this and would it be worth my time?
Posted by fritter1194 on
Thanks, There is hardly any compound left and the works but seems slow, I'll change the fan and put more compound on the square plate.
Hello Fritter.
How did you get the unit apart?
My unit is not cooling either and I hear a fan runnig but I can't get it apart to see if the heat sink plate is getting hot. Whatdo I need to do to check it.
I too have this wine cellar. Wish I would have kept the documentation/warranty. I've had it for 1 year and 5 months. Hopefully my computer building skills are good enough to fix this.
Dear Fritter, I had exactly the same problem you had! Did you solve yours?
Mine stopped cooling as well. The serial number label is horrible. They put it on there with several wrinkles. Fortunately I was still able to read it. I received it as a wedding gift almost two years ago. Now the thing is a hunk of junk.
I also had one of these CWC 900 units that quit working. The interior temp was 77deg F and the outside was 70 deg F.
The exterior panel was very warm to the touch where the heat exchanger was.
Like a previous person stated, there are two fans. One on the control unit board and then the main cooling fan for the exchanger. In my case, this main cooling fan had quit working - allowing excess heat to build up.
Solution: Unplug the unit! Remove the side panel of the CWC 900. First remove the 8 "finishing" plastic plugs that hide the screws. This was done with a sharp point on an ice pick to pry them out. Then remove the 8 screws with a torx T10 driver. At this point, plug the unit in and lower the temperature setting. In my case the small fan kicked on and the larger one did not. Un plug the unit. If you try and manually turn the fa you will feel resistance. Remove the cooling fan and black housing w/ 4 phillips screws. seperate the wires from the cable ties and then unplug the fan - you may have to remove a small amount of a plastic type glue to unplug the fan. Remove the fan from the plastic housing w/ 2 phillips screws. This is a fan made in China and I was unable to find a replacement on the web. Remove the center sticker on the back with the fan model number. Remove the center black plastic plug with a sharp point. You will now see the end of the shaft and a small split keeper ring. This ring is made of plastic - be gentle. Pry it open and remove it from the shaft (KEEP IT). Once the keeper is removed, you will be able to pull and seperate the motor from the fan blade and expose the shaft. I was not able to remove the small bearing from the motor so I wipe the shaft clean, applied white lithium grease and the re-assembled the unit. Fan spun freely. Put everything back together and the unit should be fixed!
Hoped this helped.

Thanks cajun! We picked up a cwc 1600 for $20 at a resale shop. We got it home and discovered although it "ran" it wasn't cooling.. we followed these instructions and now its working great... we didn't have grease though, so we used a
Finally, after about 5 months of a non-working unit, I believe I have got this cwc-600 up and running again. Many of the cwc-900 owners spoke of 2 fans but this unit has 3. I believe that translates to 2 cooling fans (located in the back of the unit) and 1 blower fan (located inside). My problem was with the fan inside which was not functioning at all and resulted in a higher inside temperature than that in the room.
To fix this I used the following:
1) Phillips screwdriver
2) Vegetable Oil (didn't have anything else on hand)
Working from inside the unit, I unscrewed 4 smaller screws from the inside-back. This released the fan shield in which the fan was attached to the center with 4 larger screws. I sprayed compressed air on the fan and spun it around a bit. After plugging it in I noticed that the fan began to spin again. After unplugging it again, I doused the fan with vegetable oil in hopes that it would reach the inner axel. After reassembling, it seems to be spinning freely, and hopefully I can enjoy properly cooled red wine again.

I had a similar issue with mine, and pulled it apart (drilled out the plugs, and used a torx screwdriver). There are two fans. One cools the control unit, and one is a blower on the heat exchanger cooler. The blower fan had seized up (it had some dust binding up the bearing). Unfortunately, I busted the motor trying to clean it. Putting a house fan on the heat sink while the unit was apart demonstrated that it still worked fine. I am going to try installing a cheap computer heat sink fan to see if I can fix it with a $20 fan from Radio Shack.
Posted on Dec 31, 2008
I haven't seen the unit you refer too but it sounds like many others that I have seen. The white stuff is heat transfer compound as used on CPU heat sinks, DO NOT WIPE IT CLEAN, if you have then it will need replacing. Check the fan is running at full speed to cool the heat sink that the plate is attached to. If there is no fan then there isnt much else that can be wrong with it apart from the control circuit, but that seems to be working as you say the plate gets hot.

It's over.
The season, the pain, the penalties, the 10 goals against Bayern, the botched season around February, the 20 consecutive seasons in the champions league, it's all done and dusted.
WELLL we do still have the FA cup final against Chelsea on Saturday to worry about, right? Right? My pessimism for this final is seeping through this words so I'll just end it hear, Come on you Gunners!!
Arsenal started bright in the match and looked to win 110-0 by final whistle, Hector Bellerin scored the opener and you're thinking….what can go wrong?
Oh, how about a Koscielny red card in the 14th minute -_- With Koscielny gone, we are on our back heels already and this match is turning into a typical Arsenal match. Dominate an opponent then do something real real stupid and have to fight harder for a result. Luckily Everton left their shooting boots at home and we saw out a rather comfortable result.
As the first half came to a close we knew our fate was sealed to 5th place, no more 4th place trophy jokes, no more 'same old Arsenal,' no more champions league. Liverpool had an opener against Borough and than added 2 more early in the second half.
Although our season ended on the back of 4 straight win's we still feel short of making it to Champions League.
In other news, Koscielny is now out for that final after his red card on Sunday. Was Sunday the last we'll see of Alexis Sanchez in an Arsenal kit? Or Mesut Ozil for that matter? That all remains to be seen.
All-in-all, I plan on recapping the season post FA Cup. We will discuss matters like Arsene Wenger, Stan Kronke being a shit and where we'll go from here.
At the end of the day we finished with 4 wins on the bounce and have an FA cup final in a week, if it wasn't for missing out on UCL this season would be par the course.

The problem with Avalon wasn't the technology but (after a while) its community dynamics. I'm certain that large organizations like OSGi has it own share of community problems, but for an organization with maybe 40 member organizations http://www.osgi.org/about/member_list.asp?section=1, its qualitatively different, and to much money is involved to let it end as Avalon. Furthermore they have been around for 6 years and their standard is widely used and have 10+ implementations. I don't like the documentation situation nor requiring the latest version. I just don't see any better options. OTH we are not exactly talking about an early alpha from some obscure organization. It is after all the kernel for Eclipse 3.1 release candidate 4, which IIUC is the last release candidate before the real release. And according to its developers it fullfills OSGi R4 that will be released rather soon, (it was supposed to be released during this spring). > Am I the only one? > > Daniel, your are the one that spent the > more time looking into this stuff.

The framework consist of the class loading part, bundle management and a service architecture that supports hot deployment. The standard also involve various standard services, typically packaged in separate bundles. For Knopflerfish the whole framework and some basic services is contained in a 200 kB bundle, so it is not that huge. The minimal Eclipse framework bundle contains more and is about 800 kB. I find the whole framework usefull and have no idea about how one could split it. What services we should use, if any, is another question and something we can discuss one case at a time when we need them. > Maybe we could also just rip out parts > that we need? ...might be a legal problem > but having full control of the what is so > core seems to be so desirable to me. TBH, we have discussed containers for years, forked Cocoon a couple of times and Pier have even implemented an own kernel, without getting that much closer to real blocks. And today we have fewer active developers with container implementation competence and interest than we had a year or two ago. I don't see that we have the capacity for building our own kernel from scratch. Even if we use an existing kernel, we have a lot of work to adapt our current stuff to it. Both building our own kernel and adapt our current stuff to it seem unrealistic to me. > Just me expressing my (stupid?) concerns > reading this thread...

I moved to Chicago five months ago. I settled into my snug shoebox and fell in love with Gorilla Tango Burlesque. All I knew when I got here was that I had to return to performing. And I stumbled upon an audition notice for an Indiana Jones burlesque show. Unbeknownst to me, that audition and subsequent casting and rehearsal process would benefit me more than just providing me an opportunity to perform.
I am a trained actor, dancer, combatant, and vocalist to some degree. I have also struggled with an eating disorder for fifteen years. So delving into the world of burlesque seemed an odd route to attempt. But after watching my first burlesque show, "Fellowship of the Boobs," I was enamored at the confidence and empowerment that radiated from the performers. It was clever, funny; and while boobs made many an appearance - the sexiest thing was the talent and confidence. I realized it wasn't about physical perfection or having the perfect set of ta-ta's. It was about what you did with them. And I wanted in on that.
I'm still learning to look in the mirror and see talent, not a body. What Gorilla Tango Burlesque shows epitomize are beautiful, confident women whose sexiness is exuded through their skills; not just their bodies. It's character, it's dance, it's humor - all with shimmying boobs.
And while I'm starting to flex my performing muscles again, I'm also developing a desire to take better care of myself. I want the energy to perform, to scale doorframes, to stretch - I want to eat better so I can be a better performer. It's not about restricting what I eat to fit into some ideal; it's about obtaining the actual muscle strength to last through performances and give the audience the show they deserve.
I'm proud to work with a company that promotes smart, sexy comedy. And I'm honored every single time I walk into that theatre and I am give the opportunity to do what I love with a remarkable cast and crew. That's my inspiration. And I'm thankful every time I walk on that stage and I have the strength to dance. That's my blessing. And I'm a lucky girl to know when to claw back the bullshit and eat a peanut butter sandwich. That's my resolution.
My name is Rebecca and this blog is an adventure in self-discovery despite almost thirty years of existence. I packed a pick-up and left my small hometown in north Louisiana to grow up in Chicago. Wanna fly by the seat of your pants with me?

Jacob Tremblay Names New Puppy Rey After 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Character
Jacob Tremblay loves his Star Wars…so much that he even named his new puppy after a character from the franchise!
If you saw, the nine-year-old Room actor debuted his adorable toy poodle on the carpet at 2016 WE Day California event earlier this week in Inglewood, Calif., and at that time, the pup was nameless.
After chilling out with celebs at the event like Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas and Charlize Theron, Jacob took name suggestions from fans before revealing her name.
"#drumrollplease Thank you for all your awesome suggestions! Please say hello to #ReyTremblay!!! #namegame #legoatat," Jacob revealed.
The pup's name comes from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens character, played by Daisy Ridley.

A man arrested for breaking into Miley Cyrus' Los Angeles mansion has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Rusty Edward Sellner was arrested in January (15) and accused of stealing items belonging to the Wrecking Ball hitmaker and her brother from her Toluca Lake property 10 days before Christmas (Dec14).
He pleaded no contest to one count of first degree residential burglary in February (15) and on Wednesday (20May15), he was ordered to serve time behind bars.
However, the 22 year old, who has a record of burglary convictions and evading arrest, received credit for 270 days he has already served.
Another hearing will be held at a later date to determine how much restitution Sellner should pay to Cyrus.
The break-in was the third suffered by Cyrus at her Toluca Lake home, which she subsequently placed on the market for just under $6 million . She recently purchased a horse ranch and vineyard in Hidden Hills, California.

Real Life
I will have to abandon my dream,
if I want to go on living. Real life,
compared to the dream, is dull,
monotonous, hardly worth the effort.
The dream seems to be illuminated
from within, the way the warm, translucent
waters of the Caribbean, when calm, are lit
from below, revealing wondrous forms
too rich and varied to be believed.
What is the dream? It is always
the same and always different.
I am in another city, another country,
where people recognize me
for who I am, and value me,
Where people do not hesitate
to speak to me, openly, where people
love me and look after me when I'm
in need. All my wishes, whether modest
or not so modest, are fulfilled,
As they never are, in real life.
It's too good to be true, but it is true,
in the dream, which stays with me
all day, like a drug. I never want
to let it go, but I must. Must open
My eyes, look, and see, all around me,
a world of small, everyday things,
each as remarkable as a bird
perched on the arm of a man.

Get to know hidden jewels that you won't find in any guidebook:
Privileged access to culture, private castles, and classical music in Europe, by invitation of the owners.
Get to know hidden jewels that you won't find in any guidebook:
Privileged access to culture, private castles, and classical music in Europe, by invitation of the owners.
We offer high-end but local and one-of-a-kind cultural experiences. On your visits of art galleries, museums and castles, you will be introduced to the directors and owners and go on private tours led by leading experts in their fields.
Discover hidden jewels like private castles that you won't find in any guidebook and get to know the people who live in them, descendants of distinguished families with histories reaching far into the past.
From Vienna, the heart of Classical Music, we connect you with some of the world's most renowned festivals and concerts. We organise hard-to-get tickets and invite behind-the-scenes experts for an exclusive music talk.
So Me Travel Club offers discerning and exclusive travel experiences that cover the three Cs: Culture, Castles and Classical Music. We open doors that are otherwise closed, offering authentic glimpses into European history and culture. Our motto, "by invitation only," refers to places normally closed to the public. During their trip, our members will welcomed exclusively as honoured guests, privy to the experience of living in a castle, private viewings of family art collections in palaces, and going behind-the-scenes in world renown concerts.
For those who desire further insight into European culture, So Me also offers music camps, wedding packages, wine tastings and seminars and lectures upon request.
We provide tailor-made travel experiences in Europe for members of clubs, associations and groups, as well as individuals who are deeply interested in culture, castles or classical music. Our travel experiences are always exclusive and authentic. Through our personal network of private castle owners, we provide our guests with a unique opportunity to open doors to palaces and castles that are normally closed to the public. We can show these secret jewels only to a select few.
In 2015, So Me Travel members were the first Chinese visitors to be guests in certain private castles in Austria. These castles are jewels that cannot be found in any guidebook because they are private homes and not museums. They reveal true remnants of the beauty and wealth of the Austrian monarchy— antique furniture, opulent rose gardens and parks, century-old libraries, as well as the most important family arts collection in Europe.
The world's best composers, festivals and schools of classical music are found in Germany and Austria. We connect China's music students with the musical elite in Europe by taking them to renowned festivals such as the Salzburg Festival; concerts, like the New Year's Concert in Vienna; as well as music camps for those who themselves dream of becoming musicians.
Our services also include educational experiences, such as business-etiquette seminars and wine tastings; weddings and photo shoots in romantic castles; dining and sleeping in a castle; private viewings of family art collections in palaces; and more.
For more information on Upcoming Trips
Vienna is the city of the Golden Hall, world-famous for its New Year's Concert. The city vibrates with classical music – opera, ballet, concerts – nowhere else you can see so many high-class performances in a short time.
Salzburg is the city where the composer Mozart was born, and the Salzburg Festival has many times been called the world's most important classical-music festival.
So Me Travel takes music students and professionals on an unforgettable trip to both cities and to a one- or two-week-long Music Camp in Austria.
This trip is designed for musicians longing to follow in the footsteps of the great masters of all time. It is also ideal for those seeking to combine a unique trip with advancement on their musical instruments, who want to connect with teachers from Europe's most renowned music schools and universities, or prepare for a music exam whilst making international friends through music.
So Me Travel will be with the students from day one, showing them places like the Golden Hall and the opera in Vienna, but also taking them on a fun Sound of Music trip in Salzburg.
The Music Camp offers Master Classes for musicians from 16 to 99 years old and Youth Camps for children from 8 to 18 years.

Occasional posts on subjects including field recording, London history and literature, other websites worth looking at, articles in the press, and news of sound-related events.
SOME FIELD RECORDINGS from this site appear on Francesca Panetta's excellent The London Chronicles, which you can now hear on BBC iPlayer.
If you've enjoyed modern-day televised lyric documentaries like Eva Weber's The Solitary Life of Cranes, then you should listen to The London Chronicles. BBC iPlayer has four episodes available: Money and Inequality, Fear, Love and Memory.
Panetta's gentle and understated commentary leads us through layers of actuality sound, music and the voices of ordinary Londoners, which are sometimes startling in how much they reveal about themselves. I'm always slightly in awe of anyone who's competent at multi-track editing, and Nick Ryan's sound design work in The London Chronicles is seamless.
The episodes present a nuanced and, at times, ambivalent take on London life, and that seems about right.comments powered by Disqus

A Star Wars Sitcom
Background info
Anakin and Padme are living in a house on Naboo with their children Luke and Leia, "Uncle" Obi Wan, and Yoda. Don't ask me how it ended up this way, craziness to be expected…
Anakin woke up one Saturday morning to the sounds of screaming and hitting. He went to the kids' room to investigate. He saw Leia beating Luke over the head with a toy speeder.
"Leia! Stop it! It hurts!" yelled Luke.
"Leia, what did Yoda tell you about beating on your weak brother?" Anakin asked while rubbing his fore head.
"That someday he'll become a bad ass Jedi with a cool lightsaber and he'll want payback." Replied Leia, annoyed.
"That's right. Now quit it before you wake up Yoda." Said Anakin.
"Dad? Am I still grounded for trying on Mom's makeup and dress?" asked Luke
"Oh. Um, yeah, I guess." Said Anakin, a bit ashamed.
In the corner of his eye, Anakin saw Yoda heading to the kitchen. Anakin had to stop him before he made his famous heart attack omelet.
"Yoda! Stop right there, old man!" yelled Anakin.
"Hmmm? Hungry I am. Make my omelet I must." Replied Yoda, getting out the ingredients, which included bacon, three different cheeses, salt, cocoa puffs, pepperoni, and sausage, all washed down with a cold Pepsi.
"Yoda, that crap isn't good for you. Do you want to end up dead before you hit 900?" asked Anakin.
"Die before 900 I will not." Replied Yoda as he cut the omelet in half with his lightsaber.
Yoda had become slightly insane and lost most of his wisdom. He usually spat out random sentences and lines from famous movies, but sometimes you could have an intelligent conversation with him.
Luke stumbled into the kitchen.
"Hi Yoda. What's new?" said Luke.
"Begun, the Clone War has." Replied Yoda, grimly.
Luke stared at him blankly.
"Just eat your cereal, Luke." Said Anakin.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Leia opened the door to see Mace Windu standing on the porch.
"Leia, is your father here?" asked Mace.
"Daddy, that guy with the pink lightsaber is here," yelled Leia. Mace's eyes widened.
Anakin went to greet Mace.
"What's that smell?" asked Mace, almost horrified.
"Yoda made an omelet," replied Anakin with a frown on his face.
"Disgusting. Can you get him in here, this concerns him too," said Mace.
"Yoda! We need to talk to you!" yelled Anakin, knowing Yoda was half deaf.
"If you build it, come they will." Replied Yoda.
"Shut up and get in here," Anakin yelled back.
"A bigger boat, we're gonna need," said Yoda as he walked slowly into the living room.
Stick around for another Chapter. They're probably going to be short like this one.

As homeowners struggled with the effects of the recent recession, many postponed major remodels and focused their resources on projects they could tackle themselves. Not surprisingly, as a home improvement pro, you may have felt the effects of the DIY boom and felt your businesses take a hit. But as the economy rebounded, the remodeling industry has, too. And while there will always be DIYers, more and more homeowners are trusting their remodels to the pros.
Few homeowners are skilled enough to tackle a bathroom or kitchen remodel themselves –especially projects involving extensive plumbing and electrical expertise, as well as architectural planning and design. Particularly in the remodeling world, DIY projects are declining as three-quarters of homeowners report they plan to hire out for their remodeling projects. In fact, according to surveys conducted by HomeAdvisor, 61% of homeowners admit that they would not attempt a kitchen or bath remodel project by themselves. Equally surprising, younger homeowners – traditionally more inclined to DIY – are also bucking the DIY trend and hiring out for their projects.
Considering the time and skill required to pull off a kitchen or bath remodel, it's no surprise that most homeowners choose to hire a pro. Per HomeAdvisor's survey, more than half of homeowners (52%) expressed that, while they agree that remodeling should be left to a professional – most still think it's a hassle to find a trusted pro.
Between kitchen, bath, and other remodel projects, HomeAdvisor receives over 300,000 requests per year from homeowners who decided to make the smart choice and hire a pro. Recognizing that they don't have the necessary skills, time, or motivation to tackle an enormous remodeling project by themselves, these homeowners turn to HomeAdvisor because they know they'll be connected with a skilled pro they can trust to do the job right.
Of course, making the decision to hire a pro isn't an easy one, especially for those homeowners who are on the DIY fence. And while you want them to hire you, it can be difficult to convince them that hiring a pro is the smart decision without sounding like you don't have their best interests in mind.
HomeAdvisor created a short video with home improvement expert and TV personality, Amy Matthews, that helps homeowners figure out if they should hire a pro or go it alone. If one of your prospects thinks they may want to attempt a DIY, showing them this video could help change their mind:

North Stradbroke and Moreton Island expedition Feb 2018
Where: North Stradbroke and Moreton Island
When: Feb 2018
Grades: 2 and Above
David Fisher is taking interest from potential participants for a trip exploring North Stradbroke and Moreton Island in February 2018. David has a work conference at Tangalooma on 1-4 Feb 2018 and the trip will be structured around that.
Camping in around separate 5 locations, we visit Peel Is, Amity, Big Sandhill, the Wrecks. The area is beautiful and there is plenty of sea life, mainly rays and turtles but also there is the potential for dugong sightings. It is a heck of a lot closer than the Whitsunday Islands and, being February, a bit cooler than the Whitsundays too.
There are a couple of trip structures under consideration that I'll delve into with prospective participants.
Departure date from Sydney approx. 20-25 January 2018. Trip duration is approx. 10 days.
Please email David Fisher on david[at]fisher-family.com.au to express your interest.
Grade 2 and above only.

Ninja, otherwise renowned simply as Assassins among the populace, are those individuals who hail from Eblan as the most infamous of the assassins who are produced within its boundaries. They pursue a target without any remorse, and kill in cold blood with such efficiency that one would stop to think if the target was still alive! Within the darkness of the world Ninja traverse, utterly destroying their enemy with not even a trace of their existence remaining after the task has been completed.
The foremost way of the Ninja is to stay undercover. To not expose themselves whether they be in the light of day or the darkness of the night, Ninja have always found way to conceal themselves. Whether it be through adoption of another guise, or their unique illusory capabilities, Ninja are virtually impossible to detect by the ordinary man. It is because of this that they are the first to be sent out for any assassination, simply because they have the highest chance to complete it with utter secrecy.
However; the Ninja are very misunderstood, for they aren't simply assassins that rely on their physical bodies to destroy their targets. In order to get closer to their target, Ninja have been specifically trained in an unorthodox form of Aether manipulation, producing specific elemental effects through the use of hand seals, allowing for instantaneous barrages of magic from varying distances that are otherwise known by the name of Ninjutsu.
Though perhaps compared to the Thief Class, there is a significant difference between the two. For the Ninja is capable of wielding a plethora of weapons to fit the situation, and is even fully capable of throwing projectiles at their enemy, with such force that many compare them to professional Archers. Without the harsh training of the body and the mind, one cannot be a Ninja, as it has been for the eons that have passed.
