Isola Tiberina an island in the center of Rome
Posted in General Informations, Monuments, tagged Center Of Rome, ghetto, isola tiberina, largo argentina, piazza belli, ponte garibaldi, trastevere on October 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »
The Isola Tiberina has always been a mysterious place, shrouded in legend, surrounded by the river and linked inseparably to the origins of Rome. The island is heralded by the "Ponte Rotto" (broken bridge), the "Pons Aemilius", the first stone bridge in Rome, restored several times because of the turbulence of the Tiber, which at that point has won the battle leaving only a few remains.
This remarkable piece of land in the middle of the Tiber was called "Intra duos pontes" (between two bridges) by the Romans; the island was connected to the terra firma by two bridges that were originally wooden. One is the Cestio bridge, built in 46 BC by Lucius Cestius and restored numerous times over the centuries because of the flooding of the river, so that what was a single-span bridge ended up with three arches; it was also called Ponte San Bartolomeo and "ponte ferrato" (bridge strengthened with iron).
The second bridge, Fabricio, preceded by the Caetani Tower, which belonged to the family that had transformed the island into a small fort in the Middle Ages, was also called "Ponte dei Giudei" (bridge of the Jews) because it was near the Ghetto.
The origins of the Isola Tiberina are to be found in the numerous legends surrounding it: it was supposed to have arisen over an ancient ship, whose shape it still maintains, further accentuated by the Romans, who to feed the legend built a stone prow and stern on it, giving it the shape of a warship, with the obelisk in the centre of the island.
According to another legend, the island was said to have arisen on the mud accumulated over the crops of Tarquin the Proud, thrown into the water by the people with a feeling of liberation and protest, after driving the hated Etruscan tyrant out of Rome.
The priests of the god had given the Roman ambassadors a sacred serpent which, as the ship approached the Tiber port, had dived into the water and crawled to the island, hiding in the thick vegetation. Thus the Isola Tiberina was consecrated to the god of medicine and from then on acquired the fame, reinforced by the presence of a spring of health-giving water, that distinguishes it to this day, of a place of healing and hospitals. During the plague of 1656 the entire island was transformed into a lazaretto.
The Temple of Aesculapius, with the ditch full of serpents consecrated to the god, which the priests had the task of feeding, stood where the church of San Bartolomeo stands today, with its baroque façade, but built around the year 1000 by Otto III, who dedicated it to St. Adalberto.

The Prison and the Castel Sant'Angelo – Rome
Posted in Abbey and Castles in Latium, Museums, tagged castel sant'angelo, castle, Center Of Rome, museum, prison, st.peter, via della conciliazione on August 18, 2011| 3 Comments »
Beeing at the top os St.Peter Basilica and looking in front of you along Via della Conciliazione, you can see the wonderful Castel of Castel Sant'Angelo. This impressive large circular construction was built by emperor Hadrian in 130-139 AC as a mausoleum for himself and his family in substitution of one, already built on the opposite side of the Tiberby emperor Augustus.
The height is nearly 50m, the design belongs to Hadrian. The mausoleum consisted of a base 89m sq., supporting a round tower 64m in diameter of peperino and travertine overlaid with marble.
Above this was an earthen tumulus planted with cypress trees. At the top was an altar bearing a bronze quadriga driven by a charioteer representing Hadrian, as the Sun, ruler of the world. Inside the building is a spiral ramp, which led to a straight passageway ending in the cella, in which was the Imperial tomb. Hadrian and Sabina (his wife) were buried in the mausoleum, as were succeeding emperors until Septimus Severus in 175.
The mausoleum was gradually transformed into a castle. Theodoric, the king of Italy (493-526), used it as a prison and for a time it became known as carceres Theodorici. By the late 12C the castle was established as papal property. In 1378 it was severely damaged by the citizens of Rome, resentful of foreign domination. In the reign of Boniface IX rebuilding begun. Alexander VI had A.da Sangallo the Elder complete the four bastions of the square inner ward which had been begun by Nicolas V.
From 1849 to 1870 the castle was occupied by French troops. Under the Italian Government it was used as barracks and as a prison until 1901, when the work of restoration was begun. In 1933-34 the castle was adapted for use as a museum (58rooms) and the surrounding area was cleared. It is named – National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo (Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo).
Being an official prison for many centuries Castel S.Angelo contains numerous prison cells, to begin with those built by Pius IV with the sizes that wouldn't permit a prisoner to stand on the legs and lie, the only position possible was sitting.
In the so called Cortile Dal Pozzo, built by Alexander VI, were the cells reserved for important persons. For example, here in 1538 – beginning of 1539 for the first time was held Benvenuto Cellini, where he could continue his activity as a sculptor and from where he escaped using the rope made of the pieces of bed sheet. But he was caught in a short time and re-imprisoned again till the end of 1539, but this time – in underground cell.
The processes over the prisoners were held in the Hall of Justice, it was built in Roman times above the sepulchral cella, and has a fresco of Justice attributed to Domenico Zaga.
The executions took place out of the castle on the other side of the Tiber, but in a lot of cases -inside of the castle, right in the cells.
In 1925 the National Museum of Caste Sant'Angelo was founded to celebrate the glories of the Army. Today the interior of the castle can be visited with its seventeenth century rich frescoed halls (Hall of Apollo, Hall of Paolina decorated with the Stories of Alexander the Great, Hall of Perseus with episode of the myth of the Greek hero, Room of Amore and Psiche), the prisons, the collection of antique arms, the collection of ancient marbles, ceramics, and sculptures.

The Horse-Drawn carriage of Rome
Posted in Roman experiences, tagged Center Of Rome, horse-drawn carriage, walking to rome on February 16, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Walking with horse-drawn carriage to Rome, you can leave the car and stress and give you a real pleasure discovering Rome with the calm and tranquility that only a carriage with horses can provide. A very romantic choice for couples or for those who have just married. You will enjoy a walk in the historical center of Rome: the Colosseum, Fori Imperiali, Piazza di Spagna, the Vatican, Piazza Navona, and so many others.
I recommend the evening carriage ride in the historic city which can be terminated at the request of the local Roman tradition, to experience unforgettable taste of the past.

VILLA BORGHESE – Via Veneto in the Center of Rome
Posted in Parks and Villas, tagged Center Of Rome, via veneto, villa borghese on October 18, 2010| Leave a Comment »
VILLA BORGHESE (Via Veneto) The Borghese Family owned the oldest part of the Villa since 1580, but at the beginning of the seventeenth century Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese, Pope Paul V's nephew, began purchasing the neighbouring lands intent on creating a "villa di delizie". The Villa's first layout, assigned to architects Flaminio Ponzio and Giovanni Vasanzio, included, according to the classic tradition, a pars urbana and a pars rustica, divided in three "rings" . It remained thus until the 18th century. The first ring was the most ostentatious, where the Casino Nobile, numerous statues and fountains and a "sylvan" garden are found. The present Parco dei Daini corresponds to the second ring, a garden reserved for the prince. The Giardini Segreti are found between the first and second rings. The third ring was the countryside, the broadest and vastest part, that suffered the majority of alterations over time. At the end of the 18th century, Prince Marcantonio IV fostered a general renovation of the Villa, which involved the design of new furnishings and the transformation of the seventeenth century buildings, employing architects Antonio and Mario Asprucci and various artists. At the beginning of the 19th century the Villa was expanded with new purchases: Villa Giustiniani and other minor villas, near Porta del Popolo, and the former Villas Doria and Manfroni, near Porta Pinciana. Luigi Canina's work combined the new properties and bestowed the Villa with a new layout with numerous small eclectically and neoclassical inspired buildings. The villa entered a new phase when it was purchased by the State (1901) and later transferred to the Municipality of Rome. Borghese Gallery The gallery houses one of the most beautiful collections in the world: included among the masterpieces, the very famous statue of Paolina Borghese by Canova, "Amor sacro e Amor profano" and "Venere che benda Amore" by Tiziano, the "Deposizione" by Raffaello, the splendid statues by Bernini, six of the best works of Caravaggio, "La caccia di Diana" by Domenichino, and the works of Perugino, Pinturicchio, Veronese, Rubens Giardino del Lago (Lake Garden): one of the loveliest places in the park and a rare example of an English garden in the Roman area, rich with exotic plants such as banana trees and baldcypresses; in the centre of an artificial island, a temple was built dedicated to Aesculapius. The famous Piazza di Siena every year in May hosts horse-jumping and carriage-racing competitions.

Today, i went to several computer stores to find a replacement for my desktop computer. It seems that some store are now playing in branded models and they don't sell non-branded models. This happened due to warranty problem if you sell non-branded models.
Anyways, i found one model which is quite cheap, but it's enough for me. I don't play heavy games, but i need some powerful resources because i might use it for development and for my work as a lecturer. I don't need state-of-the-art VGA card, but i do need big RAM and also HD space.
I'm thinking of fully using Slackware on this machine and no longer using Windows on my new desktop. I wanted to make my computer Windows free and fully using Slackware. On my previous desktop, there were Windows and Slackware, even though i rarely logged in to Windows in the last 12 months. I logged in to Windows only to update the application and apply security patches from Microsoft.
Well, let's just see. I will buy the new one tomorrow, so at night, i will be quite busy installing and configuring my new desktop
All about my activities, thoughts, inspiration, ideas, and everything that happened around me

text: Projects and initiatives undertaken at all organizational levels are generally used as a mechanism to achieve strategic goals and objectives. The projects of strategic importance have far-reaching ramifications that far outlast the lifecycle of any particular project. To increase the likelihood of success, interprofessional project teams need to use adaptable Project Management methodology that involves a systems approach to planning, executing and controlling the projects. Project Management methodology provides the robust structure, focus, and control needed to meet project specifications, balance competing demands, facilitate change, and achieve desired results on time and within budget. Seamlessly integrated Lean Six Sigma methodology is essential to drive undesirable variation out of the system, improve efficiency and effectiveness of work processes, minimize waste, optimize the use of resources, and create value from the viewpoint of patients and other stakeholders. It is also important to develop a standardized framework for effective multi-project coordination, create an integrated human resource plan, clarify roles and responsibilities, and secure adequate financial resources while ensuring sustainable performance of existing operations.

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (Apr. 18, 2008 ) – A.T. Still University Acting President Jack Magruder, together with ATSU Board of Trustees Chair Steve A. Kardos, D.O., and Board member Pete Detweiler, hosted a special presentation and community dinner and discussion at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine on April 17.
Community partners attended by special invitation and were greeted by Acting President Magruder and his wife, Sue, Dr. Kardos, and Mr. Detweiler in KCOM's Connell Information Technologies Center. During an address by Dr. Kardos, nearly 100 attendees heard his message loud and clear, "ATSU is here to stay."
Dr. Kardos, a 1964 graduate of KCOM, also shared with the evening's attendees healthcare data from ATSU, Truman State University, and the Kirksville School District's employee population, noting insufficiencies in many areas of each population's preventative healthcare. "Last year's statistics show only 18 percent of individuals with diabetes received a yearly eye exam. Eye care is extremely important to individuals managing diabetes," Dr. Kardos said, adding that Kirksville is uniquely positioned to help itself reach 100 percent in all areas of preventative healthcare.
Last night's dinner and discussion demonstrate ATSU's continued commitment to the Kirksville community. Acting President Magruder echoed Dr. Kardos in his closing remarks, "ATSU is here to stay forever."

Whether you celebrate Easter with a religious inclination or not, admit it: you've given in at least once. You've walked past those seductive aisles in Walgreens, Walmart, or Safeway and you've snatched some brightly-colored wrapper off the shelf. Why not? It was on sale, since Easter was only a few days away! Better yet, it was half-off, since Easter was last week and they're trying to get rid of stock. No matter your reason, you've more than likely eaten one of these Easter candies at least once in your life. We're not here to judge you. Rather, we're here to celebrate the lesser-acknowledged but equally-engaged in practice of Easter candy gnoshing. Don't blame us if you feel the need to hit the store after this count-down.
- Peeps
No Easter candy list would be right without lauding Peeps as perhaps the most prevalent and the most revered Easter candy of them all. Peeps are marshmallow candies in the shape of chicks coated in sugar. Owned by Just Born, a company founded in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Peeps have been manufactured since 1953, much to the delight of adults and kids alike. Peeps are currently trying to take over the Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas markets as well, but they'll always find their home in Easter celebrations.
- Russell Stover Easter Eggs
With a flavor for everyone, the Russell Stover Easter Eggs have a siren call impossible to ignore. Priced per egg and swathed in eye-catching, Easter-y colors, the Russell Stover Easter Eggs are a must during Easter. Russell Stover Candies, Inc. has been producing boxed chocolates since 1923, and it shows. From marshmallow and coconut to strawberry and caramel, these chocolate-covered goodie-filled eggs have been slipping into our Easter-shopping baskets ever since we discovered they existed.
- Whoppers Robin Eggs
They're basically just Whoppers. But they're not. They're shaped into fantastic little robin eggs with speckles of bright color and a delicious outer coating. Usually packaged in a milk carton-shaped box, these bad boys are the epitome of guilty Easter snacking. Whoppers Robin Eggs are owned by The Hershey Company and were introduced between 1949 and 1952. We're grateful.
- Cadbury Creme Eggs
A Cadbury Creme Egg is made up of a thick milk chocolate shell and a white-and-yellow fondant filling on the inside. If you've ever had a Cadbury Creme Egg before, you will find it no surprise that these disgustingly-good Easter treats are one of the best-selling candies between New Year's Eve and Easter. Usually sold individually, it's oh-so easy to have one find its way into your cart during the Easter season. Even though you know you'll regret every bite.
- Chocolate Bunnies
Every half-way decent candy manufacturer out there dips their toes into the market of chocolate bunnies during Easter. Therefore, no matter who your favorite chocolatier is, you're probably eating at least one chocolate bunny in and around the Easter holiday. Why we would want to consume the Easter bunny is a question lost somewhere between the ingestion of his ear and tail.
There are plenty of other honorable mentions for the Easter candy countdown. Jelly Beans often find their way into those plastic eggs your parents were so fond of giving to you, and Lindt Chocolate Carrots were a favorable substitute for the real vegetable deal. Easter candies will always have a nostalgic home in our hearts, and whenever the season rolls around we know it's time to play into the consumer market and buy them all over again. This Easter, we wish you happy Easter snacking, and while we encourage you to indulge, do so wisely. If you can.

Between the haphazard hooks, ramshackle rhythm section, mumbled vocals and lo-fi lust for vintage psych, Black Lips comparisons are unavoidable for Austin four-piece the Strange Boys.
That doesn't mean there's not room for a few bands who plunder the 13th Floor Elevators with the kindergarten abandon of early Clean records. Following 2007's little-heard Nothing EP, last year In The Red issued the Dallas transplants' tinny two-minute single "Woe Is You and Me," setting the table for this past March's woolly full-length, The Strange Boys...And Girls Club.

It's nothing revolutionary, but buried amid the reverb and loose ends on tunes like "Then" and "Who Needs Who More" is a decided country twang that ups the stakes a bit. As the band prepares to embark on a giant summer tour (including Europe), they're warming up with a few shows in the state that birthed them and, just maybe, holds the key to the Boys' twist on bleary barroom rock.

I have worked in the web marketing industry since 2000. My company is run solely by myself so I don't take on more clients than I can cope with, so I can give the necessary attention to my existing clients. I have room for just 3 more clients.
I think most business's prefer to deal with one person who runs the operation themselves rather than most PPC companies who use top notch sales people to pitch their company which is eventually handed down to some junior fresh out of college.
Running my own business single handed does mean I am limited to a certain number of clients although it does allow me to work on every aspect of the process from the start of consultation right through to the end result.

Accusations of wrongdoing have swirled around State Senator John L. Sampson for years. But when he became concerned that his actions were under scrutiny by federal prosecutors, he allegedly took a step that stands out even in the growing annals of wrongdoing by New York lawmakers.
Mr. Sampson, prosecutors said, approached a friend in the office of the United States attorney for the Eastern District for help.
Turn over the names of all of the cooperating witnesses who could make a case against him, Mr. Sampson asked, so he could arrange to "take them out."
That is among the crimes Mr. Sampson, a powerful Democrat, is accused of as he tried to thwart an intensifying federal inquiry centered on accusations that he had stolen more than $400,000 from the sale of foreclosed homes.
Prosecutors said Mr. Sampson used the money, which he had access to as a court-appointed referee for foreclosure proceedings in Brooklyn, to help finance his unsuccessful campaign for the Brooklyn district attorney's office in 2005. The next year, prosecutors said, he persuaded a prominent real estate developer to give him nearly $200,000 help cover up the thefts. When the developer was arrested on unrelated charges, Mr. Sampson feared his crimes would be uncovered and turned to his friend in the United States attorney's office.
The developer was not named in court documents, but law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter identified him as Edul Ahmad, who pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud in 2012. The employee in the United States attorney's office also was not named. Prosecutors said the person, identified by a law enforcement official as Sam Noel, had been fired after being found with a list of the witnesses' names that Mr. Sampson had requested.
The charges come after a procession of New York legislators, including several who have held top positions, have been charged with a variety of crimes. Speculation that Mr. Sampson would be next increased after the revelation last week that another legislator facing criminal charges, Shirley L. Huntley, a former Democratic state senator, had worked with prosecutors to secretly record conversations with Mr. Sampson. In one conversation, he helped arrange a meeting between Ms. Huntley and a businessman who intended to offer bribes in exchange for help securing lucrative contracts, according to court documents and law enforcement officials.
The United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Loretta E. Lynch, called the case "one of the most extreme examples of political hubris we have yet seen."
Mr. Sampson, 47, surrendered to federal agents on Monday morning and was arraigned in Federal District Court in Brooklyn in the afternoon. He pleaded not guilty to charges that included two counts of embezzlement, five counts of obstruction of justice and two counts of making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
During the hearing, a prosecutor said he had offered Mr. Sampson a plea agreement, which he has until the end of the month to accept. Under the agreement, Mr. Sampson would plead guilty to embezzlement and one other charge and accept a sentence of 37 to 46 months. He faces up to 20 years in prison under the most serious charge if he is found guilty at trial.
Mr. Sampson declined to comment after the hearing. His lawyer, Zachary W. Carter, accused federal prosecutors of wrongfully portraying the case as one of public corruption, saying the crimes charged had nothing to do with Mr. Sampson's position as a legislator. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Monday that Mr. Sampson's indictment, coming on the heels of the arrests of other elected officials, "made a bad situation worse."
In an interview on a public radio program, "The Capitol Pressroom," Mr. Cuomo repeated his vow to pass new anticorruption measures in the legislative session that is scheduled to end in June.
"With today, there's more of an urgency to do it, and denial is not a life strategy," Mr. Cuomo said.
The Democratic leader of the State Senate, Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers, said Mr. Sampson had been stripped of his committee assignments and would no longer caucus with his fellow Senate Democrats.
The accusation that he stole from the Brooklyn courts to help pay for his race to become the borough's top law enforcement officer was particularly striking, prosecutors said. For 10 years, beginning in 1998, Mr. Sampson, as a court-appointed referee, supervised escrow accounts of surplus money from foreclosure sales. Mr. Sampson was supposed to turn the money over to the county clerk's office to be distributed among people with claims, including people who had just lost their homes.
It remains unclear how the theft of such large sums would go unnoticed. The county clerk in Brooklyn, Nancy T. Sunshine, said her office did not have oversight of surplus money from foreclosure sales.

My research expertise focuses on tropical coral reef ecosystems and how they response to changing sea levels and tropical climate variability, over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Particular areas of research interest relate to climate change and human impacts on coral reefs, and palaeoclimate reconstructions for the recent past (100-100kyr).
For most of my career, I have worked on Indian Ocean coral and sediment records. This work is motivated by the need to produce reliable, long-term basely ne data of sea surface temperature, ocean currents and the hydrological cycle over the tropical/subtropical oceans and how they shape patterns of biodiversity in our oceans and adjacent coasts.
Dr. Zinke leitet das Korallen-Labor. Im Korallen-Labor der FU Berlin Palaeontologie werden Korallenkerne aus den Tropen und dem Mittelmeer zur geochemischen Analysen gebohrt und aufbereitet. Wir benutzen ein Unterwasserbohrsystem angetrieben durch Druckluft aus Tauchflaschen welches eine 30cm lange und ca. 4 cm im Durchmesser Bohrkrone mit Diamanten antreibt. Wir benutzen bis zu 1m lange Metallstangen um bis zu 4.5m lange Kerne aus massiven Korallen zu bohren. Die Aufbereitung der Kerne beinhaltet das Sägen der Kerne zu 0.7mm dünnen Scheiben, deren chemische Reinigung um organische Kontaminationen zu entfernen, sowie die hochauflösende (0.5-2mm) Beprobung der Korallen mit einem speziell gebauten Zahnarztbohrer. Das gewonnene Pulver aus den Korallen wird spaeter am Leibniz Institut des Museums fuer Naturkunde (Prof. Struck) auf seine isotopische Zusammensetzung untersucht. Zudem werden am selben Pulver noch die Spurenelemente untersucht welche Rückschlüsse auf Umweltveränderungen ermöglichen sowie die Rekonstruktion der Oberflaechentemperaturen, des Salzgehaltes der tropischen Ozeane und klimatologischer Veränderungen. Im Korallen-Labor werden ausserdem Röntgenbilder und UV-Fluorescenz Bilder von Korallenkernen sclerochronologisch bearbeitet um die jährlichen Wachtumsbaender auszumessen und zudem noch die Dichte des Skelettes und die Kalzifikationsrate zu bestimmen. Letzteres spielt eine grosse Rolle um die Auswirkungen der steigenden Meerestemperaturen und des sinkenden pH Gehaltes im Meer auf das Wachstum der Korallen zu ermitteln. Die UV Bilder sind geeignet um organische Einschlüsse im Skelett der Korallen sichtbar zu machen und somit Hinweise auf sedimentären Flusseintrag durch anthropogene Entwaldung und Bodenerosion zu erlangen. Die Korallen gelten als Schlüsselarchiv der marinen Palaeoklimatologie in den Tropen. Korallen eignen sich auch um das Klima des Holozaens und anderer Warmzeiten in den vergangenen 30 Millionen Jahren zu untersuchen. Zudem sind Korallen auch Baumaterialien in archäologischen Fundorten wodurch eine Verknüpfung von Klimavariabilität und menschlichem Handeln möglich sein kann.
Developing a 200 year index of Indo-Pacific climate connectivity
Lack of long instrumental climate records from the eastern Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific warm pool, the heat engine of the global climate system and an essential player in Austral-Asian rainfall/drought cycles, is the main problem for reducing uncertainties in model-based climate change process studies and projections for Australia and to successfully plan for the future. This project will fill this key knowledge gap in long-term marine climate variability in the south-eastern Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia (WA) on the western extension of the globally important Indo-Pacific warm water pool. It will use state-of-the-art analytical approaches to obtain unique paleoclimatological reconstructions from massive corals dating back to ~1800 AD. These new datasets will improve our understanding of shifts in the climate system that are often caused by relatively small-magnitude ocean temperature changes. These climate shifts can persist for many decades and strongly affect the vulnerability and resilience of the unique marine and terrestrial socio-ecological systems along the western coast of Australia and the wider Indo-Pacific.
This project is a collaboration with Curtin University and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
The role of the Western Pacific sea surface temperature gradient in global hydrology
The Maritime Continent (MC) is the hydrological power house of the planet being collocated within the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, where sea surface temperatures (SST) exceed 28°C associated with strong convective rainfall year-round. The Maritime Continent includes the archipelagos of Indonesia, New Guinea, and Malaysia, and the surrounding shallow seas. As such the MC is the crucial part of the global hydrological variability through its influence on the Indo-Pacific Walker circulation. New research has shown that the temperature gradient between the westernmost Pacific and the Nino4 region of ENSO variability (hereafter West Pacific Gradient= WPG) plays a pivotal role in the global climate teleconnections (Hoell and Funk, 2103). This project will fill this key knowledge gap in long-term marine climate variability from the globally important Indo-Pacific warm water pool. It will use publically available paleoclimatological reconstructions from massive corals dating back to ~1800 AD. These datasets will improve our understanding of shifts in the climate system that are often caused by relatively small-magnitude ocean temperature changes.
This project is a collaboration with Macquarie University Sydney, Australia.
A geospatial assessment, long term monitoring and environmental reconstruction of marine habitats within the Miri-Sibuti National Park, Borneo, Malaysia
The tropical marine fauna diversity in South East Asia, particularly that off Sarawak East Malaysia has been described as 'greater than any other on earth' and is considered one of the world's biodiversity "hot-spots". The coastline of the largest state Sarawak which extends approximately 1035 km, lies within the Indo-Malay-Philippine archipelago, and is located on the northern side of the Island of Borneo. This area of coastal reefs sustains a rich assemblage of marine life including fish, corals, molluscs, crustaceans and marine mammals. Our current knowledge of marine habitats within the marine park comes from a small number of Reef Check sites that have been monitored since 2009. However, long-term data are seriously lacking.
Changing river runoff into marine catchments is recorded by giant corals that incorporate soil-derived humic acids in their carbonate skeleton. We developed novel, rapid techniques of spectral geochemistry to fingerprint skeletal growth banding in cores taken from giant, centuries old Porites with unprecedented, weekly resolution.As a primary objective, we will determine natural levels of seasonal river runoff (TE; organics) and sea surface temperature signals due to climatic base level changes over the past ~100 years, foremost of interannual to decadal-scale variability (El Niño/La Niña) and intermittent extreme erosion events along the path of heavy monsoon weather events. As a secondary objective, we will assess anthropogenic impacts on river runoff impacting the Miri-Sibuti Marine Park as offsets from the climatic baseline levels.
This project is funded through Curtin University Sarawak in Malaysia in collaboration with Curtin University Perth, Australia. International students are welcome to join the research activities as part of overseas Masters thesis studies.
Evaluating current responses and projecting the effects of climate change on WIO coral reef ecosystems from historical environmental variability (Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA– MASMA grant)
Projecting and predicting the future effects of climate change is the first step in preparing a response that can evaluate the potential impacts on coral reef social-ecological systems. The opportunity to improve future projections is based on the accumulating information contained in coral cores and satellite data that have been collected during the past decade, which can form a basis for determining the temporal and spatial variability and how this is likely to change in the coming years. These data can, in principle, be priors in Bayesian predictive models that can be used to make predictions on future states of the environment. Additionally, the ability to predict current temperature stresses and bleaching has improved such that the probabilities of bleaching can be predicted for certain places at periods of 2 to 3 months before the impact. The proposed work will use these sources of information to develop a map of the projected changes in environmental conditions and to undertake field research in areas prior to and after the temperature anomalies to determine the impacts of current stresses on key metrics of the coral reef ecosystem including coral health, symbionts, reproduction, recruitment, and fish populations. These two studies, when combined, can be used to parameterize an existing coral reef ecosystem model to generate projections of regional ecosystem responses to future climate change scenarios.
This project is a collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association WIOMSA, as well as the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

The cinema experience - John C. Kirk — LiveJournal
May. 29th, 2008
04:36 pm - The cinema experience
Last night I went off to the cinema with some friends to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Overall, I enjoyed it: it's not as good as Last Crusade, but it was worth the (half-)price of the ticket. There was one completely pointless scene ("Howdy doody time!"), which should have been chopped out during editing, and a few contrivances. On the other hand, there were some funny scenes, and a good cast; I particularly liked how resourceful the female antagonist was. As for the lead character, Harrison Ford may be getting a bit too old for action scenes: there were a few times when the film cheated, by putting characters in a dangerous situation and then "blinking" to a short time later when they were safe, rather than showing the details. However, I thought that Ford was convincing as a university professor, and I was impressed by his bookshelves. So, all in all, a good evening out.
Mind you, there was one thing that confused me a bit until I saw the credits at the end. There's a young sidekick in the film, who says that his name is Mud. When Indy questions this, he says that it's the name he chose for himself. That seemed rather bizarre to me; I'm familiar with the phrase "his name is mud", but that's hardly a compliment. When I saw the cast list, it turned out that the character was actually called "Mutt" (as in dog). That makes a lot more sense, particularly because Indiana Jones is really called Henry Jones Jr; in Last Crusade, his dad said "We named the dog Indiana!" So, he's hardly in a position to criticise anyone else for choosing a dog's name.
Something similar happened when I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets. At one point in the film, the characters are discussing the coat of arms for a secret society, and apparently it depicts an eagle holding a squirrel. Again, this seemed like a slightly odd choice, but I suppose it makes sense in a way; eagles are predators, and squirrels are small furry creatures, so I can imagine an eagle clutching a squirrel in its claws. Later in the film, someone says "Look, it's the squirrel from the crest!" I peered at it, and it didn't look much like a squirrel to me. Actually, it looked more like a piece of paper. Oh, scroll! An eagle holding a scroll. Right, yes, that makes a bit more sense.
Ahem. Well, it's not my fault if they can't enunciate properly...
More generally, there are some films where the hardcore fans will dress up in costumes. I've always associated this with science-fiction, but apparently it applies to other genres too. I saw a couple of women in the cinema complex last night, dressed up as if they were going to a wedding, but it turned out that they were off to watch the Sex and the City film. As they got into the lift, one of them said to her friend "No, I'm Miranda!" Based on my very limited knowledge, it sounds as if they were actually pretending to be the central characters in the film, rather than just other people who live in that world. By contrast, I think that the average sci-fi fan looks quite good, if they are just pretending to be a random member of Starfleet, or "Fred the Jedi knight".
- The writer with the terrible "luck" with men (Carrie);
- The driven career woman who has trouble making time/room for men in her life (Miranda);
- The woman with a different man every night (Samantha); or
- The hopeless romantic looking for a fairytale ending.
Trust me, women who watch Sex and the City, including me when I had friends who also watch it, discuss which character they are most like regularly in this type of context. Obviously the four characters are more complex than the short brief above, but that is the gist.
And for the record - I am a Miranda ;-)

i love snaps.
Let me say that again for emphasis: I love snaps.
however I hate snap setters. It felt like no matter how much time i spent lining the snap up when I clamped it down something went wrong and the whole thing was off. So I would get out my pliers and remove the mangled snap from my now damaged garment and try again.
then one day I just tried to use the pliers to attach the snaps and it was amazing. having that extra control and the ability to clamp bit by bit (versus all at once) made every snap come out perfectly. so i ditched my snap setter and now the pliers live in my sewing box and are a favorite tool.
- pliers
- snaps
- fabric pen
1. decide on the placement of your snaps, mark with a fabric pen.
2. Push the 'outside' snap through the placket and line up the female piece.
3. using the pliers slowly clamp the female piece into place. A few small clamps is better than one big one. (Why does that sound dirty?)
4. snap the male piece in and and mark the center of where it hits on the other fabric.
5. Push the inner spike piece through, encircling the mark so it is as centered as much as possible.
6. Line up the male piece with the inner spike piece.
7. using the pliers clamp in place in several places. slowly and gently at first then harder.
8. Admire your work and repeat as necessary.
See wasn't that easy?

One of the most popular areas in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is Cades Cove. In the spring the black bears are easily found there. One afternoon while in Cades Cove we ran across this mother and cub. They were in the wooded area for a long time then came out into this field and eventually worked their way over to more woods on the other side of the field. They were very fun to watch and photograph from a safe distance. They seemed to like performing for all the photographers that were watching.
You can see here they have just came into the field. The bear cub could care less about anything except eating and playing. In fact, when they were crossing the field the cub got a little behind mom, then quickly ran to catch up doing a double front flip to stop.
This image was made using my Sony a6300, LA-EA3 Lens Adapter and Tmaron 150-600mm Lens. Everything was resting atop my Sirui tripod and PH-20 Gimbal Head, which made it very easy to follow these guys with my camera and long lens.

I am using Myscript ITC for recognizing hand written text. After several issues and with your kindly support i am now able to do the handwritten text recognition but i still have a problem.
I am using a digital pen to create the digital ink and using MyScript ITC to convert this digital ink to text.
MyScript ITC is able to convert the handwritten notes to text when the size of my writing is big enough.
When the font size of my handwriting is medium, or small the text recognition is going wrong.
In the ITC-Sample app since we are writing on the screen we write it in good size and it is able to recognize the text as it is being written on the text screen. But the recognition is failing some times when the digital ink is captured using a digital pen.
Can you let me know if we have an algorithm to convert small font digital ink to big font digital ink(digital ink captured when the same text is written in bigger size) and then use the text recognition.
Can you also let me know if we can restrict the MyScript ITC to recognize only numbers. Some times hand written 9 is being recognized as q and 3 as z.
I planning to use MyScript ATK for extraction of two fields:mobile number and Name. Hence i want to use only handwritten number recognition at first place and a alphabet(including space) recognition at the second place.
Can you please let me know if it is possible to modify the existing ATK to meet my requirements.
Thanks for your feedback.
What is really important for recognition accuracy is to use the guidelines.
Do you use the 'SetGuidelines' method mentioned in the documentation?
Our recognition engine has been trained with several natural font sizes, so if the writing size is still easily readable for human eyes, the accuracy should be fine.
At the opposite, recognition accuracy will decrease if there's no guidelines, that's why we recommend to use them. You can see an example in the MainViewController.java file of ITC sample.
We will also add tools on this website, so you will be able to create customs resource to recognize only numbers for instance. We will keep you updated!
Best regards,
Hi Cate,
Thanks for the reply. I have set the guidelines with below parameters
But still the ITC widget is unable to recognize the text properly. Below is the screen shot of my text written with digital pen
Below is text recognized by the ITC
Recognized page text ease 9268
As you can see the text is being recognized properly only when the font size is big. Can you please let me know your comments.
Can we use the ITC component to recognize text even when the font size is smaller(than the size of left hand text).
Hi Cate,
Thanks for the the developer tools and other modifications you have done for the sample widgets. They simplify lot of stuff for developers like me.
Can you also post a simplified integration example for the ITC component as well. I have restricted my recognition to numbers but still the accuracy of recognition is bad when the number of digits goes greater than 5. I think i am doing some thing wrong in the code.
Can you let us know when can we expect a simplified example for the ITC component so that we can plan things accordingly.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for this example. It clearly shows that you use guidelines, however we also recommend you to write on the guidelines AND between 2 guidelines, otherwise the recognition result will be less accurate. You will have to adapt the positions according to your use case, so it will be easy to write on it.
Rest assured we will communicate as soon as we will new version or tool on our developer portal.
Best regards

I'm celebrating Earth Day with an upcycled product line. I invented Teapot Sweaters. Made from all upcycled goods. I thrift wool sweaters and felt them until they become thick enough to stand up on their own. I then add decoration of bits and pieces from my grandmother's jewelry stash, and other fabric or felted wool. The teapot sweaters are large to fit any tea pot, or over a bowl of muffins or biscuits. I love dual purpose art items, and upcycling! Sweet. This one sold yesterday, but I have three more to that will be for sale in my Etsy store.
I know I've said this before, but I really enjoy working with the wool. It's soft, warm, sweet smelling, and fun to stitch into. Oh and the teapot sweaters come with two matching wool coasters.
If you are new here, please sign up for my 200th Etsy sale give-away on the previous post.

🌝♐ BLESSINGS! GYAN or GIAN MUDRA is here to assist us all as we continue to sink further into the intense effects this Sagittarius full moon has on us. Our hearts pathway. A journey has begun! And there's really no way any of us bypassed retrograde Jupiter (this planets' energy is connected to your index finger) traveling through Libra! Seriously, since early this year good ol'Jup in retro shined a mega massive spotlight on allllll our relationships! AWARENESS being the headline, main content and emphasis - our relationship with ourselves. It was a fucking doozy! Feelings of self doubt seeping into the psyche really taking some of us into some of the most painful places we may have believed we would never ever have to experience again or perhaps for the first time you are really feeling pain and suffering that feels Jupiter sized - either way Jupiter as gently as this MEGA planet could showing us where we lack self confidence and confidence in your decisions, always trying to measure up to the culture's or to someone else's expectation of you. And because the bar has been set so unrealistically high for anyone - we have consistently and constantly "failed." Judging ourselves to the point of the deepest depressions and because we are here and others are here we mirror this pain to one another. IT IS TIME FOR THIS FLASE TRUTH TO END. The GYAN MUDRA just one additional tool to remove the veil, break the glass, the illusion the lie. This MUDRA evokes the most expansive version of the self so you can FLOW through life's lessons with ease and calm. Bringing forward your highest self. The pointer finger (Jupiter, head, brain) touches the thumb (will & logic) fingers are straight but relaxed stimulates the ROOT CHAKRA and GROUNDS. This is a calming concentration improving hand gesture. As always many many blessings sweet creatures. I love you! And I am so GRATEFUL you are here!

Pre-order: Grim Fandango Remastered
Grim Fandango resurrected. Grim Fandango Remastered marks the return of gaming's most recognisable, and notoriously unavailable, cult classic - now on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This upcoming release got everybody so excited, Tim Schafer even prepared a special trailer all about how you can pre-order Grim Fandango Remastered (and why that's a fine idea) right now, exclusively on GOG.com for the first week!Grim Fandango is by far the single most wishlisted game by the GOG.com community with an overwhelming 45,000 votes. It's a unique blend of Mexican folklore with film noir stylings, and has been critically praised for its art direction, writing, and memorable characters.Grim Fandango Remastered refreshes, refines, and remasters the award winning title and Tim Schafer's last hurrah as LucasArts' adventure-gaming-extraordinaire. The remaster modernizes the game's presentation and gameplay with completely repainted textures, widescreen support, and quite possibly best of all: modern controls. You can now say goodbye to unwieldy tank controls, a staple of the early 3D era, and enjoy a fully point-and-click interface - but only if you want! The option to play the game as originally envisioned is always there.Have you missed Grim Fandango the first time around? Now's your chance to experience gaming history like never before, or if you have played it in its heyday - you're probably long overdue for another go anyway. You can pre-order Grim Fandango Remastered right now on GOG.com!The pre-order will last until Tuesday, January 27, when the game is expected to launch on GOG.com. It took a lot to bring this classic back to life. If you'd like to learn more about the remaster, Double Fine and 2 Player Productions have just released the newest episode of The Making of Grim Fandango Remastered - a recommended watch.

Limited storage capacity was causing a backlog of requests for the IT department at Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL) Queensland. This made it difficult for IT staff to respond to demands and limited the introduction of new services to its 30 Queensland sites and 250 sub-branches.
After considering a number of solutions, RSL Queensland IT manager Jason Marles decided to implement a NetApp agile hybrid aggregate offering.
- Australian War Memorial targets social media
- Mantra Group books on storage upgrade
- Mercy Health saves costs with networking upgrade
"The flash infrastructure has removed infrastructure bottlenecks by providing high volume, cost effective storage," he said.
"Now, when a department makes a request we can respond almost instantaneously. This has enabled us to roll out a range of long standing projects that have been on the wish list for years."
For example, Marles and his team recently implemented a centralised membership database and intranet.
The new database means that the workload associated with updating member records can be shared across multiple RSL Queensland teams whilst improving the accuracy of the information.
"We are now working towards centralising all of the individual databases in our branch offices to ensure that current and ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force [ADF] can access the same level of emergency accommodation, pensions, advocacy and welfare services at each location in Queensland," he said.

#91: The New Batman Adventures - Batgirl
For those keeping track at home, I have four animated Batman figures, and have QC issues with two of them. When I opened Batgirl and was testing out her articulation, her right arm broke at the elbow. Fortunately I was able to get a replacement sent. I generally prefer the designs from The Animated Series over those of the New Batman Adventures, but I don't know if they'll do an AS Batgirl like they did for Batman, so I ordered Batgirl when I was able to. She comes with a stand, several different hands, a batarang, and a grapnel gun.

The Ironlak dream began in 2002, when a young aerosol artist from Sydney wanted to offer Australian artists a premium spray paint brand at an affordable price. As the first Ironlak cans rolled onto shelves in 2004, the price of premium spray paint was cut dramatically, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for Australian artists.
In 2008 Ironlak moved production offshore. This came with the opportunity to measure quality control more stringently, the production of a higher quality product and centralised global distribution through an Ironlak owned and operated factory.
Driven by the necessity to develop and distribute products to a niche market, Ironlak gained the expertise and confidence to extend its reach and explore new territory. Today Ironlak is the leading choice for artists in over 50 countries around the world.
In a market where products are used to 'create', we believe it is essential for the people responsible for putting the tools in the consumer's hands to share an involvement in their craft. With tireless practice and a persistence in seeking perfection, built upon street-level experience and accelerated by a passion for the arts, Ironlak has shaped a world-class product portfolio, which hinges on handing exceptional, innovative and reliable products to our growing audience of loyal artists across the globe.
Ironlak seeks to bridge the gap between value for money and the highest quality products available, providing artists with more tools than ever to express their individuality.
Ironlak Art & Design is focused on providing a comprehensive portfolio of products; sharing the same quality and value for money that aerosol artists have appreciated for years, with the wider art community, providing all artists with the perfect tools to express their creativity.

Leviton DZMX1-1LZ Decora Z-Wave Dimmer
From Wink@Home Wiki
CONFIRMED WORKING: Officially Supported
Leviton DZMX1-1LZ Decora Z-Wave Dimmer
- Compatible with Wink App and Amazon Echo (requires Wink HUB)
- 450W Dimmable LED/CFL, 1000W Incandescent, Halogen, MLV and Mark X
- 49 different fade rates
- Supports Z-Wave beaming and Network Wide Inclusion
- Although I do my best to verify every product that is reported as compatible, things do change.
- Firmware updates to either hub might render previously-compatible devices inoperable. Usually, problems like this are reported and addressed by Wink.
- Inclusion in this Wiki is a very good indicator of compatibility, but is not a guarantee.
- One thing to be aware of is that "ZWave Plus" devices might not work with the Wink Hub (1st version), though they should work with the Wink Hub 2.
- I use a Wink Hub 2 as my primary controller.
- My testing is done on the Wink Hub 2.
- I try to find out if devices reported by others are Hub 1 or Hub 2, but I'm not always able to find out.
- I am a beta tester.
- This means my hub might work with a device that won't work for the general public.
- I try to avoid adding article for devices that are only compatible with the Wink beta firmware, but sometimes, something slips through.
- If I report that it works, but it does not work for you, chances are it will start working for you in the near future.

To say the discovery that the winner of the Tour de France may have been cheating is bad news is perhaps the biggest understatement since James Lovell told Mission Control, "Houston, we've had a problem."
Of course, Floyd Landis may be cleared, but with its credibility already hanging by a thread, the Tour needed this like a stick in the spokes.
The hardcore fan won't mind - there is almost as much masochism involved in following a minority sport as there is in actually riding the Tour.
They've been here before (Tom Simpson in 1967, Pedro Delgado in 1988, the "Tour of Shame" in 1998 and far too many others to list here) and some take a remarkably laissez-faire attitude to their heroes' refuelling habits.
But the part-time enthusiast - the fan who finds as much joy in watching Riquelme run a game, Lara compile a ton or Tiger plot his way around a course - will be, in order, shocked, not shocked, disappointed, mildly amused and then resolved not to care about the Tour so much next year.
Belgians and lycra-clad diehards, like the chap who runs alongside the riders dressed as a devil (how cycling could do with an angel running along on the other side) will be back. But who else?
Even the French, whose riders actually had a decent race for the first time in a while, seemed to be fed up with watching La Grande Boucle suffer a death by a thousand cuts.
Phonak, the hearing-aid company that bankrolls Landis' team, has had enough.
The message that cycling isn't quite as wholesome as it ought to be has got through loud and clear - the 30-year-old Landis is the fifth Phonak rider in two years to have failed a drugs test (albeit in Landis' case just half a drugs test at this stage).
And German television station ZDF didn't waste any time before putting the boot in.
"We signed a broadcasting contract for a sporting event, not a show demonstrating the performances of the pharmaceutical industry," said ZDF editor-in-chief Nikolaus Brender.
The real point of the Landis affair is not that he may have applied a testosterone patch to his scrotum for a few hours to help recover from a bad day in the Alps, it is that cycling and drugs have become synonymous.
What was once a drip-drip leaking of cycling's integrity has become a torrent. A look back at our cycling page over the last 12 months makes very depressing reading - race report, doping story, race report, doping story and so on and so on.
World Anti-Doping Agency boss Dick Pound said cycling's image was "in the toilet" after 13 riders, including the two favourites, had been kicked out for drug allegations before the Tour started.
It must be somewhere very dark and smelly now.
"When is this going to end? What is the UCI (international cycling's governing body) going to do about it?" asked Pound after news of Landis' positive A sample was revealed.
"You build up a new hero and he gets slapped down. It's very serious."
After retirement and a Spanish investigation had combined to rob the Tour of last year's top-five finishers, the tale of a man who had battled against family pressure, bad luck and worse injuries to win cycling's showpiece - with one of the bravest rides in the 103-year history of the race - was a godsend.
It now looks like a cruel joke.
Landis has pledged to clear himself but he has not got off to the most convincing of starts.
"I don't know what the explanation for (the positive test) is, whether it was a mistake or whether it's an occurrence from some other circumstances that go on in the race or something I did," said Landis.
He then listed three (scientifically dubious) reasons why his testosterone levels might have been out of whack after his yellow-jersey winning efforts in stage 17.
A few beers? Cortisone shots for his dodgy hip? Pills for his thyroid problem?
"Unfortunately, I don't think it's ever going to go away no matter what happens next."
What happens next... that is, of course, the $64,000 question for Landis and cycling, as the short-term fates of both are now inextricably linked.
His team are adamant about his innocence and there are no shortage of character witnesses just looking for a branch to grab hold of so they can come out in support of their man.
Landis has also hired a medical expert who he says has a 100% record of explaining away elevated testosterone levels to the satisfaction of this matter's probable final judge and jury, the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But that isn't going to happen any time soon.
In the meantime, Landis and cycling are being tried in the court of public opinion.
Sadly, the judge has recently been hit by a bicycle courier on a zebra crossing and the jury is full of white van drivers and cabbies.

Thanksgiving for Terrorists – Grant Swalwell
This wonderful holiday season some lunatic shot up a planned parenthood in Colorado Springs, the irony being better family planning might have prevented his existence in the first place. Russia is now establishing a no fly zone over Syria, in a fit of beautiful irony. A mass grave of ethnically cleansed Yazidis was found over the weekend, it was booby trapped. I got a cute little stove top espresso maker. Saw my family, some friends came in from out of town. No doubt a similar experience to most Americans. The nation of Turkey is being roasted by Russia and the international community for not playing it cool, hopefully the Erdogan administration will feel backlash, and stop sending weapons to ISIS, but that's none of my business.

This Web page provides the latest updates for the national contract, riders and supplements that cover about 3,500 Teamsters at DHL Express.
We Are eXPOsing XPO's Global Greed
XPO Logistics is a top ten global logistics and transportation company with annual revenue of $15 billion and 89,000 employees, another 10,000 workers classified as independent contractors, and thousands more working for firms that subcontract with XPO. We are the REAL workers at XPO Logistics worldwide exposing the truth about the company's global greed, illegal wage theft, unsafe conditions, and abhorrent and vicious anti-worker, anti-union tactics.
This greed includes mistreating former Con-way Freight workers in the United States who are being kept in the dark about terminal closures and layoffs, and the company's illegal refusal to bargain contracts and denying their workers' federally protected right to organize. It also includes port, rail and last-mile drivers around the country and in Southern California fighting wage theft in excess of $200 million because they are misclassified as independent contractors and denied the right to form their union. This greed has caused numerous lawsuits and strikes. Greed also means an unsafe workplace and mistreating its warehouse employees.
XPO's greed extends to Europe beginning with breaking its promise to not layoff any workers for at least 18 months. French workers and the unions have been fighting back against XPO's disrespect, lies and attempts to slash jobs. Similar struggles are taking place in Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe.
Join the worldwide struggle now! Get involved with this campaign by joining the Facebook group "XPO Exposed."
Together, we can eXPOse the company's global greed and win fairness, respect and dignity for tens of thousands of XPO employees around the world!
This page provides the latest contract information to the 7,500 Teamsters—drivers, dockworkers and office staff—employed by ABF Freight System, Inc.
Workers' pensions are being endangered by both Congress and those charged with overseeing them. The Teamsters and our members are standing united to say "No!" to cuts and "Yes!" to greater retirement security!
The 'Let's Get America Working!' campaign seeks to restore a dynamic and prosperous middle class to drive economic growth by helping to advance policy decisions that create and maintain good middle-income jobs, guarantee retirement security, expand access to the American Dream, and ensure that the benefits of the ongoing economic recovery are felt by the many, not just the few.
This webpage provides information on the Teamsters Union's legislative advocacy at both the federal and state level as well as our field activity to support those policy positions and to get strong labor candidates elected to office. Among other resources, you will find our federal legislative scorecard, formal statements of policy position and communications to Capitol Hill, a weekly update on federal legislative happenings, an overview of bills we are tracking at the state level, and quick links to take action on priority issues.
This web page provides information on the ongoing effort to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since 1994, NAFTA has devastated working families, putting corporate profits ahead of people. What's worse is that NAFTA has become the blueprint for all other trade agreements, from the way that it was negotiated in secret, to the bad provisions that have made their way into every agreement that has been signed since then. Now, NAFTA is being renegotiated and we demand that it be reframed to work for workers instead of corporate interests.
The Teamsters have stood in solidarity with worker struggles in other countries since our founding. With economic globalization, our ability to organize increasingly depends on our ability to build alliances with workers on a global scale.
More than ever, Teamsters are organizing and bargaining with multi-national companies. A key objective of our Global Strategies Campaign is to build strong alliances with unions around the globe who organize and bargain with common employers. Our focus is on workers in the emerging global supply chains – the infrastructure of globalization.
Globalization creates new opportunities for international worker solidarity. We seek common cause with workers around the world to build social justice for all workers and the communities in which they live.
The contributions of black members to the success of the Teamsters Union are numerous, varied and as old as the union itself. This month, the Teamsters Union spotlights some of those contributions.
Members and their families enjoyed a beautiful day at the Eighth Annual Teamsters Local 179 Membership Picnic.

We would like to thank workman's compensation attorney Jim Ridge of Ridge & Downes, LLC for providing our raffle prizes as well as two $100 and two $50 L.L. Bean gift cards that were awarded to the first and second place winners of the bags tournament. This year's raffle prizes included: seven bicycles, two drones, four iPads, four 32" smart televisions, four 43" smart televisions, two 50" smart televisions, six pairs of Beats wireless headphones, three JBL Flip Four Bluetooth wireless speakers, a Sony Bluetooth speaker, a mini stereo, a Rebel Bluetooth speaker set and a $25.00 L.L. Bean gift card.
First place winners of this year's bags tournament was Vick Haase and Brian Manzello. Second place winners were Adam Wright and Steve Hollis. Congratulations to everyone.
A very special thank you to all of the volunteers who came out and worked so hard all day long. And thank you to the Teamsters Local 179 Retirees Club members and their wives for assisting with the popcorn wagon.
"On behalf of the Executive Board and staff at Local 179 I would like to thank everyone for coming out to make this year's picnic another big success. It is always great to be able to talk with our members and meet their families," said President Tom Flynn.

1998 Pontiac Grand Am gt 3.1L.
Question = my 98 grand am has no heat. The
gauge on the dash works. The engine gets hot,
and the car has not over heated. Is my problem
the thermostat or the heater core?
Several things can cause a no heat condition.
Assuming the coolant is full, there could be air
pockets in the cooling system- this engine is
prone to having leaking intake manifold gaskets,
and/or blown head gaskets. Either can make air
pockets in the cooling system, and the heater core
cannot transfer heat from an air pocket into the
interior. Will not necessarily overheat.
Possibly a plugged heater core not allowing
coolant to flow through it. Possibly a temperature
door problem in the dash not directing air over the
heater core.A bad thermostat will usually either
cause an overheating, or an engine that will not
get up to proper operating temp. If the coolant
temp is lower than normal, then would suspect a
stuck open thermostat.
1998 Grand Am No Heat- Engine Not Getting Too Hot
1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP.I have 5 vents on the upper dash
board. I will count them from the passenger side starting with #1.
With the AC on #2 upper dash vent is the only one providing cold
air. I must have a damper not working somewhere. The other vents
1-3-4 and 5 have the same volume of air but it is ambient. #2
provides cold AC air.
Sounds like you may have 2 problems. Two common causes for the
right side vents being cold, and the left side warm....
1) The drivers side temp door actuator motor has failed. This would
cause both right side vents to blow normal, the drivers side vents to
blow warm.
2) Low freon charge. This would cause 1 or both of the right side
vents to blow cool- but not as cold as they should be.
There is no damper between the 2 right side vents. They are from
the same plenum. This is why you may possibly have a low freon
charge, and the drivers side door motor faulty.I would suggest
getting the freon charge checked. Not just the pressure, but actually
remove and have it measured. Even a 1/4 - 1/2 lb can cause right
side to be cool only. Get the freon charge correct, then see is the
drivers side vents are still warm, then you probably have a door
motor gone bad.

Earth Day celebration calls for community engagement
Susan Brockmann, a representative from All Our Energy, models 500 plastic bags to demonstrate the amount of plastic bags used by the average person each year. Melanie Haid / Hofstra Chronicle
Calkins Quad buzzed with activism and sustainable activity during an Earth Day celebration held on Wednesday, April 18. Organized by the Center for Civic Engagement, the event featured multiple student groups at Hofstra as well as local organizations from the surrounding Long Island area. Many gathered to table on the grass with aims to enlighten the community regarding what individuals can do to make our world more sustainable in honor of Earth Day, which was celebrated internationally on Sunday, April 22.
The Earth Day Outdoor Celebration also featured performances by one of Hofstra's a capella groups, Makin' Treble, a pop-up farmer's market sponsored by Compass Group outside of Bits & Bytes and an interactive exhibit that highlights shared identities called the UNITY project.
Freshman global studies major and member of Get Global at Hofstra Thomas Neilson said that awareness of climate change is not enough. "You have to actually contribute your energy and time to raising awareness and doing things about getting people to reduce their carbon footprint."
James Eager made note of applying this activism to the community at Hofstra. A senior geography, global studies and sustainability major in the Sustainability Club, Eager said the focus of the club was to tailor practices specifically to Hofstra students. He said it is about "what each of us can individually do to make our campus and communities more sustainable and environmentally friendly."
The president of the same club, Amit Nath, a senior sustainability studies and geography information systems major, said it was important on a multitude of levels to conserve the environment and resources which is why he grows plants of his own. "I enjoy directly seeing sustainability in [growing peppers]; I grew this plant, let it weather, let it dry out so I could get the seeds for the next generation. The whole point of sustainability is having resources for yourself but also not putting the future generations at stake," Nath said.
Other groups included students collecting signatures to form a Hiking Club on campus and the Animal Rights Association.
There was also one woman from the organization All Our Energy, who wore 500 plastic bags on her body to demonstrate the volume of the average number of plastic bags one person uses in a year. Susan Brockmann said that the problem with these bags is that they are so lightweight, "that they just escape and get into the ocean. These look like jellyfish to marine animals, so they eat them and die."
The event allowed students to connect with one another about something everyone should be concerned with: the ground they stand on. The UNITY Project had a similar objective. Although not directly connected to the Earth Day celebration, the exhibit was also being held in the center of the Calkins Quad with an overlapping idea of unity.
The project asked participants to tie yarn around poles labeled with different identifiers, such as "I am LGBTQ" and "I am a student," creating a colorful web of yarn, almost like a roof, that represents every individual's journey. "It's to counter the really aversive and divisive rhetoric in politics," said senior psychology major Nandini Jhawar of Hofstra's UNITY project. "You can celebrate diversity together."
This project was presented through Hofstra International, the Pride Network, Nippon Culture Society, African Students Association, The Gender Identity Federation, South Asian Students Association, the Queer-Trans People of Color Coalition, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Hofstra's Organization of Latinx Americans, Collegiate Woman of Color, Hofstra Cultural Center, Center for Civic Engagement, Office of Student Leadership and Engagement and Events Management.
"This is not spring," said Paul Auerbach from Food and Water Watch on Long Island. "The climate is changing."
The evidence of this drew in a crowd to celebrate on campus, recognizing the beauty of the Earth as well as recognizing what we as a community and as individuals must do to preserve it.

"Easy as pie" is the biggest misnomer in the baking world. You understand this if you've ever attempted to make a pie. There are so many variables and ways for it to go wrong. Fat temperature and texture, water temperature and amount, amount of handling, sweetness of fruit, amounts of starch. With pies, it's all about the feel. When made correctly, a pie is the most delightful dessert.
Our Pie Team makes all our pies from scratch, like all our other desserts. We begin with frozen fruits that are grown in Washington or Oregon, add a bit of sugar and some starch to thicken it, put it in a flaky crust and top it with more crust or a buttery crumble.
Our crusts are made with the help of our trusty pie crust press, which cranks out a perfect crust every time and saves us a lot of time. It's also a great arm workout! We use an organic palm shortening (which doesn't destroy organgutan habitat, for those of you that know about that issue) that makes a delightfully flaky crust. We also have egg-, dairy- and gluten-free pie options for those with allergies or intolerances. We don't make sugar-free pies.
Among the many reasons we love pies is that there's always a perfect season for every kind of pie: berry and peach pies in the summer, tangy citrus and cream pies in the winter, and apple, pecan and pumpkin pies in the fall. Thanksgiving and pies go hand in hand. Sure, some say it's all about the turkey, but not for us. Someday, I'm going to skip dinner all together so I have room for all the pies that I inevitibly take home. We end up with 10 pies at our feast because, why not? We sell all sorts of pies including cream, citrus and nut pies and it can be daunting to pick out just one, so here are some ideas and suggestions to help you pick out the perfect pies for your Thanksgiving feast!
Apple Cranberry is full of sweet apples and tart cranberries, topped with crunchy crumble. Make it extra delish by buying a jar of our salted caramel and drizzling it over.
Jewelberry is a perfect blend of strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. The berries' flavors complement each other beautifully.
Pecan is always a favorite. It's even better as a Bourbon Pecan pie where we splash a shot of bourbon over it as it comes out of the oven.
A tart is always a delicious option and our Frangipane is one of our favorite desserts. It's a baked nut filling that we combine with figs or pears in a buttery shortbread shell.
We have a delicious gluten-, egg- and dairy-free tart for the November dessert of the
month: Hazelnut frangipane topped with a Quince compote. Quince is an heirloom fruit similar in shape and texture to a pear but with a heady floral aroma.It is inedible raw, but when cooked, turns an amazing shade of apricot.
If you crave something a little richer, our cream pies are creamy and decadent.
Chocolate cream is chocolate heaven.
Remember that if you're not ordering a whole pie, you can always come in for a slice.
Apple pie ala mode with Red Wagon Creamery's Not So Plain Jane Vanilla is delicious!
See our Desserts of the month page or Pies to see a complete list of our flavors.
