Subject: Removal of Combustible Material for Hot Work
The requirement for removal of combustible material in RP 1646 is for hot work that is being conducted within a 35 foot radius of the fueling system components and is intended to prevent fires anywhere near a fueling system. NFPA 51B is also incorporated by reference in 1646, and it requires either moving or shielding combustible materials. If combustible materials cannot be moved then shielding them can be used an alternate method. If your firm does hot work on a regular basis, I suggest you obtain a copy of NFPA standard 51B and become familiar with its requirements, for your information, this is the relevant section from NFPA 51B:
The intent is to prevent fires caused by hot work operations, and not to remove all of the goods in a convenience store. So, if it is not practical to move combustible materials (and in your example, it is clearly not practical) then it seems that shielding is an appropriate alternative.
Subject: Requirements for Atmospheric Testing
The requirement for atmospheric testing is to protect against the possibility of igniting a hazardous atmosphere that may exist at a petroleum/convenience facility. It does not seem reasonable to believe that an explosive atmosphere could exist inside of a convenience store building during normal operations. Therefore, it is not necessary to require atmospheric testing under these conditions. However, many buildings in the petroleum/convenience buildings have vent stacks from the gasoline storage tanks that run up the sides of the structure, and vent above the roof level. During normal operation these vents may emit gasoline vapors. When performing hot work on the roof of a building where vent stacks are within 35 feet, testing the explosive properties of the atmosphere is a requirement.
What is API WorkSafe? / How to start?
API WorkSafe is an online safety awareness qualification program (replacing the BP WorkSafe safety awareness program). The program consists of two optional parts (Recommended Practice Document (RP 1646) and on-line training), and one mandatory part - the on-line test itself. Taking and passing the test will result in an individual obtaining a Safety Key/Certificate. Safety Key/Certificates are issued for one year. Many service station owners now require their contractors to pass the online exam and obtain a Safety Key/Certificate prior to performing any work at their stations. For general information, please use the following link http://www.api.org/certifications/worksafe/index.cfm
WorkSafe is an individual qualification program. Each contractor who is interested in acquiring a Safety Key/Certificate must register through the WorkSafe site and set up an individual on line account. Employees of a company are tied together through the company name.
Login instructions can be found at: APIWorkSafeLogInInstructions.pdf
Additional information can be found within this FAQ.
Other questions, contact API at: 202-682-8469 or email@example.com.
The following table lists the training fees for Operator Training
Other Courses
There are three items available for purchase through the WorkSafe system: Item #1 - Recommended Practice (workbook), Item #2 - On-line Training, and Item #3 WorkSafe Exam. Each individual purchase is $15; unless the exam is purchased at the same time as another item (On-line Training or Recommended Practice Document - RP); at such time the price is: $25 for all three items; $20 for any 2 items; or $15 for any one item. Renewing this qualification must be done annually.
Technical Problems (Computer or Internet Connection)
API WorkSafe requires an internet connection and a basic computer. If you experience technical problems, first contact your help desk or technical person, to make sure your internet connection is functioning correctly and your computer is compatible with API WorkSafe. If the problem continues, please contact API at: 202-682-8469 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Credit Card, Payment Problems, Receipts or Refunds
Please contact API at: 202-682-8469 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note that the API WorkSafe system does not accept the Discovery Card.
How much time can I take and how many attempts can I make to pass the exam?
Operator Training Course
There is a 30 day time limit to complete the Operator Training course.Users can take the exam up to two times before they must re-register for the course. Depending upon the user, the operator training can take anywhere from 15 minutes (Class C) to up 5 hours (Class A+B) to complete.If the Online Training was purchased, the user can also access the online training at any time and as often as desired to obtain handout materials and certificates
Other Courses
There is no time limit and users can take as many attempts to pass the exam as they wish. Depending upon the user, the on-line exam can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to complete.If the Online Training was purchased, the user can also access the online training at any time and as often as desired.
How long is the Safety Key/Certification valid?
Operator Training Course
Each state has different regulations on the term that Operator Training Certifications are valid. Please refer to each state specific summary for more information
Other Courses
API Safety Keys are valid for 1 year from the date awarded.
When can I renew my Safety Key/Certificate?
Users may renew their Safety Key/Certificate up to 1 month before and up to 1 month after it expires. To renew your Safety Key/Certificate, you will need to purchase and pass the exam (Item #3) at https://worksafe.api.org/.
Some employee's qualifications are due to expire over the next couple of months. They are trying to take the exam now, but the system won't let them. Do they have to wait until their respective Safety Key/Certificates expire or can they renew them early?
As it stands now the policy allows users to renew their Safety Key/Certificate one month prior and up to one month after expiration as long as they log in to their existing account. If for some reason you need to have your users renew before this window they can create a new account and pay the full price.
I took the test and received a new number. I could not find out how to keep my original number, which would have been better.
When Safety Key/Certificates are renewed a new number is assigned. This action is based on a committee decision intended to reduce fraudulent activity.
If I'm in the middle of the exam and my internet connection is lost, or I logged off, will I have to start the exam over?
Operator Training Course
The current API WorkSafe course consists of up to 18 modules. The modules are passed separately. Once a module is passed, the information is saved in the database and the user will not need to take that module over again. If a user is in the middle of a module and the computer disconnects from the internet, or the user logs off the website, they will have to take the incomplete module over again. Any modules already passed, will remain credited to the user.
Other Courses
The current API WorkSafe exam consists of 13 exam modules (there are 14 training modules because the first training module is an "Introduction" and there is no exam module associated with it). The 13 exam modules are passed separately. Once an exam module is passed, the information is saved in the database and the user will not need to take that exam module over again. If a user is in the middle of an exam module and the computer disconnects from the internet, or the user logs off the website, they will have to take the incomplete exam module over again. Any exam modules already passed, will remain credited to the user.
How do I reprint my Safety Key/Certificate?
API WorkSafe allows you to reprint your Safety Key/Certificate as many times as you wish. To do so, please log into the system, at which point you should see the following screen; circled in red is the place to click.
When a user registers with the system and creates an account, they must provide a valid e-mail address, a username and password (the last two items may be changed at any time). When a user account is created, API WorkSafe will automatically send a confirmation e-mail (including the username and password) to the e-mail address that the user entered in their account. Please keep this information secure and accessible, in case you forget your username or password.
User passwords are encrypted and can not be decrypted. However, there is a button on the login form (https://www.apiworksafe.org) called "Recover Password", which can be used to reset your password. When the button is clicked, the system will ask a series of questions which will ultimately allow the user to change their password. Users must at a minimum know the company name they provided at the time of registration.The user must first answer whether or not they have a Safety Key/Certificate. If not, the system will ask for the user's first name, last name and company name:
The system will next ask you to provide the answer to your secret question:
Once that question has been answered correctly, the system will allow you to reset your password:
To change your password, log into the API WorkSafe website and click the "My Account" link, then click "Change my password" (see screenshot below).
How to update User Information?
After logging in, click the "My Account" link, then click "Change my details" (see screenshot below).
How do I change the Language Setting?
The language setting can be changed by logging in and clicking the "My Account" link, then click "Change my details" (see screenshot below).
The Recommended Practice Document, the sole source of the necessary information for this program (RP 1646) is presented as an Acrobat PDF file which can be printed and saved to the user's computer. The current version of RP1646 is the First Edition dated August 2006.
Q: What if I forgot to save the file; or can't find it on my computer?
Correct Answers to Missed Question
Operator Training Course
Since API WorkSafe is an Operator Training system, correct answers to missed questions will only be displayed if a user passes the exam module (for example, if the user answers 9 out of 10 questions, the answer to the missed question will be displayed). If the user does not pass the module, the whole module will be presented again, possibly with different questions, until such time that the user passes the said module.
Other Courses
Since API WorkSafe is a safety awareness system, correct answers to missed questions will only be displayed if a user passes the exam module (for example, if the user answers 9 out of 10 questions, the answer to the missed question will be displayed). If the user does not pass the module, the whole module will be presented again, possibly with different questions, until such time that the user passes the said module.
Suggestion or Question about the safety information presented in the online training, exam or RP 1646.
For questions involving the material content or subject matter, please contact API at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-682-8469:
Company Administrator Accounts
Each company in the WorkSafe system must assign at least one individual as the company administrator to manage their user's accounts. Company administrators have the ability to make a bulk purchase for the company by acquiring a token; and at that time they will be given a token ID. The employees may then use the Token ID rather than pay for their purchases individually with a credit card, thus sparing the company the hassle of having to reimburse employees individually. In order to become a company administrator, it is not necessary for this person to take the test or obtain a Safety Key/Certificate. The designated company administrator simply needs to create an account and request company admin status. If an API WorkSafe user would like to be the "Company Administrator" for their company, please click here for more information.
Companies with Multiple Locations
Our company has multiple offices. Can we have multiple administrators? Yes, you can have multiple locations, administered by different individuals. Keep in mind though, that when company tokens are used only the people who are registered with the company that the token was purchased for will be able to use the funds from that token. For instance if you have a company named ABC with several locations, you may want to set up the company names as follows: ABC-Houston, ABC-Washington. But, users listed under ABC-Washington will not be able to use the token assigned to ABC-Houston.
When qualified individuals with a valid Safety Key/Certificate are not listed in the
directory it is because they opted out of being listed in the directory at the
time they registered in the WorkSafe system. To be included in the directory
please follow the steps below:
Some employee's qualifications are due to expire over the next couple of months. They are trying to take the exam now, but the system won't let them. Do they have to wait until their respective Safety Key/Certificates expire or can they renew them early?
As it stands now the policy allows users to renew their Safety Key/Certificate one month prior and up to one month after expiration as long as they log in to their existing account.

In the current economy, many people have struggled to stay on top of bills and expenses. Washington residents have possibly experienced many of these same problems. Economic hardship can strike anyone for a variety of reasons, including job losses, unexpected medical bills or family break-up. Even the best planners can find that they are facing extreme pressure when expenses are out of their control. It is at these times that filing for bankruptcy can bring the much needed relief that cannot be found by other methods.
Recently, an article was published that contained suggestions for those who are struggling with delinquent debt. While some of the included hints were possibly common knowledge, others may have been less well-known. The author was clear about one important point; collection agencies and creditors' phone contacts and written correspondence should never be ignored. Every attempt should be made to open lines of communication with those to whom a debt is allegedly owed.
Other topics discussed in the article dealt with telling a collection agent that phone conversations will be recorded, if such an action is legal in the consumer's state. Doing so may ensure that the creditor will conduct themselves in a civil manner. Also, debtors are encouraged to protect private financial information and not allow collectors free access to bank accounts. One other suggestion was using registered mail whenever sending debt-related correspondence through the postal agency. This service will confirm that documents were received in a timely fashion.
The article made an effort to provide consumers with information concerning how to handle collection efforts. However, sometimes these types of articles, regardless of how thorough, will be unable to provide enough assistance. Many consumers may be feeling suffocated under debt, such as medical bills and credit cards and they find that they are no longer able to stay afloat in spite of their best efforts. It is in these situations that Washington residents could seek information on filing for bankruptcy. Families that make this decision may be at the beginning of obtaining a fresh start and finding stable financial ground once again.

Unreasonable Institute, the famous social startup accelerator has picked 46 finalists from the hundreds of applications they received for their batch of 2012. The entrepreneurs that apply for the Unreasonable Institute are those who believe in using business approaches to solve big social and environmental problems.
The thing to keep in mind is that these are not non-profits, they are for-profit ventures aimed at solving real world problems while creating social impact. Unreasonable Institute would now like you to pick 25 winners from this list of 46 finalists, the winners would go on to be part of their batch of 2012. The 25 selected will go through a 6 weeks residency program at Unreasonable Institute's Colorado Campus. The course will arm these finalists with all the skills, knowledge and connections they'll need to profitably scale their ventures, reaching at least one million people.
The way you would go about picking the winner is to go to their website and fund the startups that appeal to you, the first 25 startups that raise USD 10K are selected as finalists. The idea is to crowd-fund the final selection where people will think carefully about their choices as they would be voting with their wallets. This is truly an innovative way to approach crowd-sourcing of winners as it really conveys the entrepreneurial mettle of the finalist. The fundraising drive opened on Jan 17 and will last for 50 days.
It will only take couple of minutes to go through the profiles of these entrepreneurs, so show your support for the most promising venture, with as little as $10. This is your chance to make an impact in the world by backing the most, high potential social entrepreneurs.

I've been on birth control for 7 days . I started on last Monday and forgot to take my pill yesterday ( which was Monday ) . But took my pill this morning atleast 45min before I had unprotected sex . Also I don't take them at specific times but I try to stay in a time frame ( 8am - 1pm ) Should I take plan B ? Could I be pregnant ?
Been on birth control for one week . Missed one pill & had unprotected sex the next day?

I don't like plan b but in this case yes take it. You have no protection. You have to take 7 pills, correctly, in a row before you are protected. You missed a pill in that 7 days so it starts over. You had unprotected sex too early. You absolutely have to take it within a 1 hr time frame, not 4 hrs. There are reminder apps for your phone if you need one. The pill does not work on the I took my pill so I'm safe today theory. You have to have to take it correctly every day in order to be protected. I'd recommend you get an implant, then you can't mess it up.

I repeat....this is not a debate on the existance of god....
Its a debate on a 6th sense.
This seems like an awfully intriguing question. All beliefs being inherently subjective if you could please clarify this "6th sense" principal? My guess would be you are proposing that not every person has the same intellectual, biological, or genetic predisposition in the form of a sort of "capacity" to believe in a god? Thanks again and I look forward to our discussion.
Suppose we had a sense of purpose. Like sight/hearing/taste/smell and touch, people have varying degrees of this sense. Those who lack the sense completely wouln't know it. How do you explain sight to a blind person??? He can't percieve it with his working senses. You could say its obvious. Everyone else can see. But he can't so its not obvious. Well lots of people can see. They can't all be wrong or lying!!! How about scientific proof? Sunlight reflecting off objects makes them visible!!!! what's sunlight? what's visible? You can see how people can get frustrated both trying to explain and to understand. This in no way helps. all I'm saying is that without this sense a person is unable to argue with a person who has the sense. Its impossible to even define the sense to someone who lacks it.
Given consistent and substantiated data, a persons belief in a god and the severity of that belief is very much tied to their socioeconomic factors, birthplace, parents belief, and level of education. Unless you can prove that this same genetic trait or 6 sense also caused these or was a result of a persons socioeconomic standing, birthplace, education level, IQ, and parental beliefs I do not see a case to be made for this notion. In fact quite the opposite.
Another large wrench in the gears for your proposal is explained in this example, you have two people, both would have this sense, both are religious because of it, but one is Jewish and the other is a Muslim. Though they are both persons of faith, I imagine explaining ones faith to another would be similar to your analogy about the blind man.
Another problem area is people who all of a sudden convert to a religion or leave a religion. How would you explain the behavior of this 6 sense in this situations.
From your side any evidence to support this theory may be of use to both of us. Please if you can in your rebuttals list some substantiated facts for your position. As intriguing as it is, and again seriously kudos for having a creatively philosophical mind to think of such a question. I am assuming the idea was your originally. I conclude my first round by stating the obvious there is nothing commonly or otherwise known, that would lead to such an obscure conclu
I do also believe senses can augmented, but I am not sure if this leads to an explanation for or against the existence of another sense.
The statement "a non believer could have their eyes opened and become a believer, or a believer can have their eyes opened and become a non believer." Your use of the "eyes opened" analogy, instead of opened/closed for both experiences Is really key for me. What is "right" also deserves some discussion. I do not find all religions to be similar, as we are proposing them to be with the use of the idea of a "god sense" or lack there of. Under the concept each religion may indeed need it's own sense or multiple senses existing for monotheistic, polytheistic and all the subsequent denominations. This does not disprove the idea but does further complicate it. With an issue involving more complication, I would assert a reasonable argument for it's existence requires more evidence. I love the simulation argument presented by Nick Bostrom. I suppose he would say that the "god sense" has so many variables by design because it is part of our particular simulations objective to find out which religion or lack of would take over, or even just to study the possibility of it, and in the real world such a strange idea never existed. This could account for the elusiveness of the cause and effect entire topic. It isn't meant to exist in reality. I'm running out of room but I look forward to your thoughts.
That being said I still would love resolution. So please, if you have questions even of your own beliefs express them. Perhaps together we can find answers. If points do mean anything to you I concede and we can discuss the rest In comments.
As for the possibilty that our reality is all fake, be we brains in a jar or simulations within simulations, as far as we are concerned the question still stands. So lets call a orange a orange.
Its difficult to argue from both thiest and athiest perspectives so I will pick one but do not think I'm picking sides. Either could and should apply until proven otherwise. I dnt want this to decend into a pro/con god debate.
I'm gonna suggest perception of God as the feeling of sunlight on a blind mans skin. Its not improbable that God is beyond our understanding. We feel his presense to differing degrees depending on how sensitive our skin is but also external events affect it. Ie clouds, wind, seasons etc
The sun can warm us if we cold but also burn us. So good or evil would depend on our experiences. We give God caracteristics. Limited to our understanding. We borrow or follow those around us. But things alter our views. Nobody changes from athiest to thiest or hindu to christian without external cause. Something we read or hear. Thus God may exist because we can sense him. But the subjective god we create in our head may not. Make sense?
1. The existence of a tangible or intangible mechanism or function that determines or obfuscates, to possibly infinite different degrees, your ability to believe or not to believe. This why I felt using "eyes opened" in both instances was key to the idea. I don't think it would make sense to say some have it and some do not. But in everyone having this perceptual sense, it than dictates your level of belief or disbelief. The opposing side con:
2. This idea is not reasonable to believe.
Proposing the idea that this perception could exist not as a function of intelligent design but is misinterpreted by humans to lead them to a belief in god makes our task an even larger one. I cannot at this time refute why this perception couldn't be misconstrued, so I must consider the possibility part of the theory.
An issue is tying the idea of morality or other senses being augmented by society or experiences and our "god sense" being augmented the same way. I don't think we would have any reason to believe that this sense would operate in anyway related to how we develop our own moral compass and how or why where it points tends to change, even slightly. I propose of this sensitivity to religion were to be augmented in any way, it could only be a deterioration of the "sense" (a persons ability to "feel the sun on your skin".)
I want to know how you propose the god sense fits into conversion from one religion to another, from one religion to atheism or vice versa, and people finding religion suddenly (or slowly I suppose) from a position of apathy. The opposite movement from a position of being extremely religious or extremely non religious to general apathy towards the subject by a deterioration of the sense much like eye sight as we age. Only this does not seem to correlate directly with aging
Now religion is chosen by which closest mirrors our own moral compass and our need to belong/accepted. Pleasing ones parents for example plays a pivotal role In children.
But beliefs change. Even our moral compass can change. Like exposure to media has made backchatting your parents acceptable where in the past it was unthinkable.
On point 2. You say this idea is not reasonable.....did you mean not unreasonable.
Thus there are many tangible reasons one would change in any possible direction which do not require augmentation or deterioration of this sense. I've given some thought to what that sense is as well and I believe I'm onto something. Corny as it may seem the third eye drawn in the middle of the forehead is apt. Every mind emmits a electomagnetic field. Have you ever sensed someone watching you? Notice the word sensed.... perhaps we do have a sense organ for detecting electromagnetic fields. There are confirmed cases of people suffering from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. it would make sense for god to have a very strong E.F. Still researching EF and somehow I think emotions come into this as the most common description I find when people define god is love.

3 points to Pro (arguments). Reasons for voting decision: Pro seemed to stay a little bit more focused and a little bit more logical. This was a close one for me, really, but I'd give it to Pro.
[*Reason for removal*] Too generic. This could be copy-pasted to any debate. Does not provide topic-specific or useful feedback.

Have you ever felt someone staring at you?
Living electromagnetic field sense. (LEF)
Makes sense. There is scientific proof that people are sensitive to E.F. They call it electonagnetic hypersensitivity. If certain people can pick up this LEF of God it would be hard to describe. But one common term I found is Love.

Reasons for voting decision: The burden of proof is on Pro since he brings the claim. Pro asserts the existence of a 6th sense that can detect the existence of God, but presents no evidence to substantiate this assertion. Con suggests that a lack of homogeneity among religious beliefs suggests a lack of this 6th sense. I wouldn't expect polytheistic and monotheistic beliefs to exist simultaneously if people were able to sense the existence of Gods. Pro's S&G awful. R1: "existance" "Its a debate" "lol"; R2: "whatsover" "wouln't" "percieve" "???" "!!!" "what's sunlight?"

Reasons for voting decision: Pro has no clue how to format an ellipsis '...' and randomizes the amount of dots as well as placing an elipsis where a comma was supposed to be placed. He also fails to follow them with a capital letter. Pro also confuses 'its' and 'it's' and has no concept of how to use question marks on their own ('???' is totally wrong) so S+G goes to Con. This was more of a discussion than a debate and only Con used sociological facts to back their case up. Pro literally ended their debate with a quesito to Con as if highlighting just how unsure they were of their own side. Factors such as upbringing and IQ are not subjective, they are objective factors to subjective conclusions of an individual. Pro failed to rebut this.

Review: The DUFF by Kody Keplinger
I got interested in reading The DUFF because of the high praise The Underground had for the book during a recent giveaway contest. The post was about The DUFF and Bumped -- which I reviewed a while ago and really liked -- and I figured that I might as well read The DUFF so that I could consider how the two stories compare.
The first thing to note is that while both stories do deal heavily with teen sexuality, that they are totally different genres. The DUFF is purely a YA contemporary, whereas Bumped is closer to a dystopian novel.
I'm glad that I checked both books out. they are both worth reading.
The Plot: (from GoodReads)
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "the Duff," she throws her Coke in his face.
But things aren't so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him.
Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.
I was drawn to this book because the way that the term DUFF was described reminded me, quite vividly, of how I felt when I was in high school. (The big difference being that I was an English nerd and tended to call it being Fifth Business instead.) I was the matchmaker, the peacemaker, the advice girl and the go-to guru for pretty much everything any of my friends needed. And I had friends in lots of different social circles.
But I didn't have an actual date all through high school. I could fix anyone up with who they wanted except for myself. So when Wesley told Bianca she was "the DUFF" I cheered when she doused him with cherry coke. I wish I was that brave. But I really wanted to scratch my head at her willingness to sleep with him. I get it -- her life was spiraling out of control. And we all know people can do some crazy things to regain what they fear they have lost. If people use food, pain, drugs or abuse, then there is no reason they could not use sex in the same fashion.
I have to admit that I am still not use to discussing plot in contemporary YA. When I read a fantasy or paranormal book I know that there is going to be a serious conflict that will be introduced and defeated. In a contemporary book the lines feel a little more blurry. I think Keplinger did a good job at making the reader want to see Bianca and Wesley get together. I don't think she did quite so hot on the situation with Bianca and her parents, which is a bit of a shame because their actions are what drive Bianca to do the things she does. A more well rounded exploration of what was going on there might have made the book a little more complete.
Another thing that I wanted to know was why Bianca was so damn cynical. If it is suppose to be because Jake broke her heart two years before that's fine. But at the same time, we don't really see her dealing with this cynicism and the underlying emotions that must be triggering it. She seems to be this way all the time. All I can say about that is "Whew!"... That must take a heck of a lot of energy. I also found her unwillingness to consider that she might be in love was a little silly. Quantifying what is felt does not make it any more awesome when it's going good or less painful when it's going bad.
Wesley was a good match for Bianca, in my opinion. I like how we see the perception she has of him change, and then how he changes in response to it. It really ties into the idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you are something, or let people constantly tell you that you are something, eventually you will end up believing it. (Spoiler: I think that was the point of the scene between Bianca and Amy in the latter half of the book.)
I found Toby Tucker annoying. Then again, I don't really go for political guys so that might be part of the reason. I like the fact that by the end there was such a good parallel between what was happening with him and Bianca in comparison to what had been happening with her and Wesley. (Spoiler: Bianca uses Wesley as a destraction and then Toby uses Bianca as a way to try and get over his ex.)
On a more general note, something I really want to give Keplinger credit for is the fact that she wrote a very interesting novel without pinpointing a specific villain. Every character that appears in the book has the potential to do good or bad things, and most of them actually do a little bit of both. Wesley might be a "man-whore" but he also defends Bianca when something terrible happens. "Perfect" Toby turns out to be human. Casey, Bianca's best friend since forever, doesn't always have her absolute best interests at heart -- she actually encourages Bianca to do something that would make her (Casey) feel more secure. In short: I think this is awesome and that it was well done.
The Romance:
This is not your typical "Awww, isn't that cute?" romance. And it makes total sense: these characters did not set out trying to fall in love. (I will say that there is a sweet gesture near the end that did produce the generally desired "Awww", however.) One thing that I think was handled well is that neither of these characters (Bianca and Wesley) wanted to be first in saying they loved the other. Each, in their own way, makes it clear to the reader that they do. But they never directly, 100%, tell each other.
My one big issue between these two is that we are clued in to why Wesley is the way he is (or at least given a hint as to part of the reason) but we never fully get a real glimpse of what makes Bianca tick. Sure, she got her heart broken by a guy when she was 14. But does that fully explain why she feels that love takes years to develop? It seemed a little too cynical for someone to be thinking that way after one bad experience. It didn't ruin the book for me in any way, but it did leave me scratching my head.
I'm not totally convinced that the whole Toby Tucker thing was necessary, either. She's wanted to be with him for three years and yet she ends up wanting Wesley more? Hmm... I suppose I can understand the idea of a long term crush not ending up satisfying. That is generally how that goes. But it seemed, to a certain extent, like filler. I was far more interested in what happened between Wesley and Bianca and really didn't care about her and Toby as a couple.
Last, I just have to scratch my head and wonder what it is with all of the YA novels using Wuthering Heights as a parallel for what happens with their characters. I mean, I like Wuthering Heights. I just find it a bit odd how often I'm finding it referenced in YA romances.
In General:
This book took me a few days to read, but that was more because I was busy then because I lacked interest in it. I loved reading about Bianca and Wesley and I thought that the scenes with her and her friends were good, too. I wasn't quite as convinced about the portrayals of her parents, but that was more of a personal thing. I also wish that the use of The Scarlet Letter had been handled a little better. I know what the book is about but have not read it. I wonder whether I missed something of value because of that.
If you like tales of friendly enemies, The DUFF is a must read. If you've ever felt like the person who fixed everyone else's life while yours stayed stagnant, The DUFF is a must read. If you like characters who tell it like it is, The DUFF is a must read.

I've been wondering if this was a good book for my 14yr old. Now I read the review I don't think its her speed, but I'd like to give it a try.ReplyDelete
Glad that I could help. :) Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Liked The Duff, didn't love it. I had a hard time understanding where the attraction was coming from because if it had been me, I would not have been able to get over being made fun of by a guy. That would have made him forever ugly in my book, so there was a bit of a believability issue there. I'm having a hard time remembering some of the plot, but maybe her cynicism came from her mother being out of the picture so much? I do think that it's a book that will really resonate with teens though and I give Kody credit for having a good debut at such a young age.ReplyDelete

I'm so glad you liked it! It's one of my fav contemps in awhile. I really do agree with the self-fulfilling prophecy bit so much. With the Scarlet Letter bit, its relation to the plot wasn't delved into enough so I don't think you missed anything.ReplyDelete

Last Thursday's night Grey's Anatomy sent philosophical and contemplating vibes, which would have gathered even the great Greek philosophers and thinkers to indulge themselves with an intimate discussion with Meredith Grey, pondering together over the topic of aloneness and loneliness.
The Grey's writers only scratched the surface on this broad topic, providing the highlights and leaving those who like to think and question things to delve further on the subject quietly in their own heads.
Despite the limited time, in the span of an hour, the episode managed to incorporate different examples from the wide spectrum of situations and combinations on the 'alone- lonely' scale mixed up with happiness, sadness and understanding or the lack of them.
Alone together: April and Jackson's baby dilemma steadily keeps on moving in direction, which creates further clashes between the couple's opposing views. There is so much beauty in April's motherly love, purity in her belief, eloquence in her lack of desire to know more about the baby's condition and what the future holds. Yet, even her mother's presence and Jackson's constant support make her feel alone and terrified. April Kepner is an example of being alone among people. All she needs is just a bit of quiet understanding. Jackson, on the other hand swings in another direction- there is something very raw, honest and loving in the way he wants to protect April and the baby by knowing and being prepared. Whether he realises it or not, but Avery is also all alone with his struggle.
Alone and lonely: Meredith Grey, the newly single mother in a long- distance relationship is not just alone and lonely. She doesn't even know how to be alone. Since Meredith is a quick learner, she finds some rather disturbing methods to deal with her aloneness, such as sleeping with a 3D printed tumour in her bed. One way or another, things that people are supposed to learn in life, they will do so and sometimes the price they have to pay is a bit high.
She Shepherd, on the other hand, is lonely in the professional department because no one seems to understand her approach, enthusiasm and optimism in removing the tricky tumour from Dr. Herman's brain. But thanks to Edwards 'a-ha' moment, She Shepherd won herself a partner in crime.
Alone and something else: Dr. Pierce seems to be quite content being alone and have mastered the art exquisitely. However, she hasn't master yet finding someone who can understand her quirks and weirdness, because something in her eyes and something in her voice hides a pinch of loneliness that probably tickles her now and then.
Dr. Robbins, newly single, all alone and on her own prefers to bury whatever she feels with work, save foetus' lives and find joy in reading patients' medical records. Whatever is going on in her head and in her heart, unfortunately we don't have access there.
Alone, lonely and unhappy: Callie Torres and Owen Hunt were the hard-to-swallow bitter pills in the entire episode. Their dark talk could have depressed even the happiest Buddhist monk. Those two are drowning in their own pointless expectations and false assumptions. They have forgotten how to be happy. Major Hunt is building Chinese Walls around himself, making himself believe that the entire world revolve around Cristina Yang. Callie Torres is running in a maze, trying to find quick fixes for whatever she wants to repair in her life, but she seems rather stuck and goes blank when a woman hits on her. Callie and Owen have lost their mojo and it seems it will be a long way before they get out of the mud and learn that other people are not responsible for their happiness or unhappiness.
Learn to be alone! Be happy alone! Share your joy with other people, but never let it in the hands of others!

We commissioned Dani to "graphically record" our children's services conference in October 2015. From the very beginning, we were incredibly impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm – she was incredibly easy to work with! Dani clearly did her research in advance of the event. She requested notes on the key speaking points for each presenter, the main conference themes, and any logos or colours that we would like her to use. We were amazed at just how well she understood the theme and aims of our conference and are thrilled with the final result – a beautiful artwork that has now been framed and is hanging in the entrance to our office.

Laura earned her B.S. degree from UC Berkeley in Conservation and Resource Studies with a concentration in Environmental Education. While an undergraduate, she initiated and led several campus programs relating to green building and recycling, including the Building Sustainability at Cal Program. They aimed to educate and engage students while reducing the campus' environmental impact. Prior to ERG, Laura worked at the U.S. EPA on renewable energy and sustainable material management with a focus on wasted food. At ERG, she plans to explore the role of the individual in environmental behavior change through the lens of sustainable materials management.
What have you been working on that most excites you?
The overall goal of my research is to reduce the amount of food that is wasted in the United States. It is estimated that around 40% of the edible food grown in the United States never gets eaten! This means that more food than ever is ending up in landfills. Additionally, about 20% of the freshwater in the U.S. is used to grow wasted food, and all of the resources used to grow that food, including energy and pesticides, are wasted. This also creates economic waste to the tune of $165 billion a year in the U.S., all while 14% of Americans are food insecure (for more information, see this great report by the NRDC).
Focusing on influencing behavior to prevent food waste is still a new endeavor. Europe, specifically the UK, has been working on this for about a decade, but the United States is just beginning to focus on these issues. I am working in two of the communities piloting the U.S. EPA's Food: Too Good to Waste program which should be launched nationally soon. It is a really great time to be working on this issue because programs are being designed as we speak and I get the chance to influence them.
Previously, while at the EPA, I worked primarily on proper disposal of food waste via composting and anaerobic digestion. Now, I focus on preventing the food from being wasted in the first place because that has the potential to have a much larger impact. Specifically for my research, I have been interviewing households to understand the social and cultural processes that transform food to waste at the household level. What I am finding is fascinating!
For instance, refrigerators aren't simply devices to preserve food but social actors that impact how people consider and value food. An example of this is when a person puts their leftovers in the refrigerator even if they do not have the intention–either consciously or unconsciously–to eat them. By keeping them in the refrigerator until they are covered in furry white mold, some people feel less guilt about wasting those leftovers than if they had immediately thrown them away. Another finding is that the physical and cognitive disconnect that many people have with how their food is grown affects how we value food as well as how we determine whether it is edible. I call it the "shiny red apple syndrome." We are disconnected with how our food is grown which creates almost unrealistic expectations about how we expect our food to look and age. This means that grocery stores generally don't sell us anything but perfect-looking (or almost perfect) produce (and so it generally gets wasted) and that we throw away food prematurely. Ultimately, I hope my work will impact policy and programs implemented by governments to reduce the amount of food that is wasted.
What difference has researching at ERG made for you?
I was primarily trained in the natural sciences before coming to ERG. ERG has allowed (and encouraged) me to explore other disciplines, like sociology and behavioral science, which greatly influence my work. I now look at wasted food from a completely different mindset than I did before. I no longer view wasting food as a socially deviant behavior but as a socially inevitable one. People waste food as a result of social and structural processes that impact everyday life, thus we must understand and influence those process to create change.
Within ERG, I have collaborated with Isha Ray and Duncan Callaway to help guide my work. Isha has been instrumental in helping me apply social science research methods and Duncan has helped me refine my methodology. Additionally, I have been working with professors and researchers outside of ERG to guide my research. This includes Alastair Iles in Environmental Science Policy and Management at Cal and Roni Neff at Johns Hopkins. I have also been working with the City of Seattle, Alameda County Waste Management Authority, and EPA. The great thing about ERG is that it allows me to work with a wide range of people with different expertise and perspectives. As a result, I believe that my research will be more well-rounded and impactful.
Why did you choose ERG?
I chose ERG, because the work that I do doesn't fit neatly into a specific discipline. I believed that researching food waste prevention would best be done from an interdisciplinary perspective. By being in ERG, I get the "keys to the castle" in a lot of respects. I can take classes in any department and work with a wide range of researchers. Plus, the people are ERG are truly amazing. I have never met a more supportive group of people.
Laura "driving" a tractor as a child
How has your background been a part of your research and time at ERG?
I have had a love for food since as long as I can remember. I grew up for the first part of my childhood on a ranch in the Central Valley of California. I have fond memories of eating plums off the ground (because the ones that just fell off the tree were the sweetest and tastiest) and of the first time I ever saw a chicken slaughtered. I feel very fortunate to be one of the increasingly smaller number of people that have experienced the growing and preparing of food first hand. This has not only inspired my desire to decrease the amount of food wasted, but also made me appreciate the human labor and natural capital that goes into making the food I now buy in a grocery store. It also made me realize that not all food is perfect and beautiful, but that doesn't make it any less valuable! We need to embrace those imperfect looking fruits and veggies!
What advice do you have for prospective students?
Graduate school and ERG is a lot of work, but it is worth it if you are doing something that you truly enjoy. Also, start grad school with an open mind. Every day I am more and more aware of how much I don't know.

|Re: Another collation question - Derby-1478 and Derby-2377
|Fri, 18 May 2007 19:09:20 GMT
A couple of followup issues: So I create a database with territory=en_US and collation=TERRITORY_BASED. We say that that collation is based on the territory (in this case english from the United States). How does the user find out what that means? Is there some standard (Java or otherwise) that we can point them to? If the territory attbribute is set, but not the collation attribute, we have indicated that the collation is the default Unicode codepoint collation (UCS_BASIC). I googled "Unicode codepoint collation" and the primary reference is to XML When I googled UCS_BASIC the references are to Derby. Seems that we are using a non standard term here... The unicode web site uses "Unicode Collation Algorithm" http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/ Section 1.9 says "1.9 The Unicode Collation Algorithm The Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) provides a specification for how to compare two Unicode strings while remaining conformant to the requirements of The Unicode Standard. The UCA also supplies the Default Unicode Collation Element Table (DUCET), which is data specifying the default collation order for all Unicode characters. This table is designed so that it can be tailored to meet the requirements of different languages and customizations." Do we support UCA? Is it customized for Derby/Java? It would be great to be able to use a well-defined term. Is Derby's collation "well defined" by either the SQL and the Unicode standards? -- Laura Stewart

824 Views December COOP Data Uploaded
Link: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/climodat/
The quality controlled Iowa COOP data for December 2016 has been uploaded to the IEM. These observations are kindly provided by Harry Hillaker, our state climatologist, who passes along these notes on the month:
General Summary. Iowa temperatures averaged 22.7° or 0.2° below normal while precipitation totaled 1.55 inches or 0.21 inches greater than normal. This ranks as the 67th coolest and 37th wettest December among 144 years of record.
Temperatures. The month began and ended with an extended period of warmer than normal weather while below normal temperatures prevailed each day from the 7th through the 19th. The most noteworthy temperature event of the month was the cold weather on the 18th. Morning low temperatures on the 18th varied from -8° at Keokuk to -29° at Rock Rapids. The Rock Rapids reading was the lowest temperature recorded in Iowa since Elkader saw -30° on February 28, 2015 and was the lowest December temperature in the state since a -34° reading at Elkader on December 25, 2000. Afternoon high temperatures were below zero across about the northeast one-third of Iowa on the 18th. Meanwhile wind chill indices dropped as low as -46° at Estherville and Spencer on the morning of the 18th for the lowest wind chill readings in Iowa since -53° was registered at Estherville on January 2, 2010. Soils began to freeze with the arrival of colder air on the 7th and quickly extended to about a foot beneath the surface by the 20th across much of central and southern Iowa where little or no snow cover existed. However, warmer weather late in the month, plus a widespread Christmas Day rain, partially or completely thawed soils over southern Iowa by the end of the month. The month's highest temperature was recorded at Keokuk on Christmas night with a 60° reading.
Heating Degree Day Totals. Home heating requirements, as estimated by heating degree day totals averaged the same as normal but 32% more than seen during the very mild December of 2015. Thus far this heating season (since July 1), heating requirements have averaged 18% less than normal but 6% more than last season at this time.
Precipitation. Precipitation was relatively frequent during the month, but with plenty of breaks between events. The first widespread snow of the season arrived on the 3rd-4th with snow accumulating at all but a few far southern Iowa locations. Heaviest snow fell over extreme eastern Iowa where the Davenport Airport recorded 10.2 inches. Widespread snow also fell over all but far southern-southwestern Iowa on the 10th-11th with a few totals of six inches over the far north/northeast. Snow also fell statewide on the 16th-17th with greatest amounts again over the north where a few locations picked up a half-foot or more. Still another statewide snow event came on the 23rd and once again resulted in little, if any, accumulation over the south while 3 to 5 inches fell across the northeast corner of Iowa. The last, and largest precipitation event of the month, came on Christmas Day and brought a statewide average of 0.63 inches of rain. Thunder accompanied the rain over about the west two-thirds of Iowa with rain totals exceeding an inch in a few areas. The rain, combined with frozen soil (which prevented rainwater from soaking into the ground), brought some minor flooding, especially over the south where some ice jams occurred as river ice broke up. Monthly precipitation totals were generally well above normal across the northwest one-half of the state. Precipitation totals varied from 0.82 inches at Sac City to 2.91 inches at Saint Ansgar. Snowfall totals varied from only an inch at Allerton, Clarinda and Red Oak to 20.8 inches at Saint Ansgar. The statewide average snowfall was 8.2 inches or 0.1 inches less than average. This ranks as the 40th greatest December snowfall among 130 years of records.
General Summary. Temperatures averaged 50.6° or 2.5° above normal while precipitation totaled 38.78 inches or 3.51 inches above normal. This ranks as the 5th warmest and 19th wettest year among 144 years of records.
Record 2016 precipitation totals are listed below:
Station 2016 Total Previous Annual Record Period of Record Charles City 58.58 51.35 in 1999 133 years Decorah 58.08 48.74 in 2007 128 years Cresco 57.56 47.87 in 1951 110 years New Hampton 57.11 51.88 in 2007 110 years Osage 53.19 45.72 in 1999 112 years Lake Mills 50.21 47.35 in 1993 62 years Mason City Airport 7.74 46.76 in 1991 74 years Mason City 46.36 45.63 in 1990 117 years
Severe Weather. Preliminary data from the National Weather Service indicates that 43 tornadoes touched down in Iowa in 2016, six fewer than the average of the previous 30 years. Only two of these storms reached EF-2 strength, both in Benton County on July 17.
The following is the number of new daily records set at COOP sites based on data back to 1951.

One book I recommend in the wealth building category is the popular Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. In his book he talks about the Cash Flow game. The game is a blast and you will feel like a tycoon as you build your financial portfolio.
It is designed as a financial teaching tool. It will help you learn to evaluate and maximize your investments. It will also guide you as to what is important and what will trip you up on your path to wealth. The goal of the game is about getting out of the "rat race" and building enough wealth to live off your investments.
Play the Cash Flow Game
A group will be playing the Cash Flow game at the Lemon Grass Thai restaurant in Crofton MD, near the intersection of Rt 3 and Rt. 450. We will meet at 6:00 and start with dinner and networking. Remember to bring business cards. The cost is free but the restaurant will expect us to consume food and drink for providing the space. RSVP here
Wednesday Dec. 2
6-10 pm
Lemon Grass Restaurant
225A Defense Hwy
Crofton, MD 21114
(410) 721-1111
Free (Your own dinner is on you)
Please RSVP here so we have an idea how many to expect.
I look forward to seeing you there.

This year again, the sales during January caused a minor start of the year 2017. During the first month of 2017 we experienced non-typical winter weather, by which Belgium keeps on struggling with unusual weather conditions during important fashion months. Luckily, February and especially March provided the necessary growth, allowing us to end the first quarter of 2017 with a more or less stable -0.6% in value.
During the sales month, not one category was able to grow, ending January with a big loss compared to January 2016 of 14mio EUR. This dip was quickly converted by the Belgian consumer to growth during the next two months, with even an increase of +4.2% in March. Within this last month of Q1, a lot was spent on clothing reaching a total growth of +4.7% for this category.
The sport shoes provided, thanks to growth in February and March, a total positive growth within this category in Q1 of +2.7%. Also personal accessories including jewelry, handbags, scarves and gloves, sunglasses, … continue to show a very stable growth in 2017 with +4.1% at the end of Q1. Both categories, together with the women's (+1%) and men's clothing (+1.9%), are responsible for the fact that we were able to end the first 3 months of 2017 more or less stable.
During April we experienced unusual little rain, which might be positive to continue the growth of March for the next months.
