Iraqi Kurdish forces deployed at a state-run oil company Thursday, temporarily halting pumping through a pipeline that is one of the country's two main avenues for crude exports, officials said.
The move highlights two fault lines that may increasingly come to the fore as Iraq's war against jihadists winds down: the dispute between Baghdad and Iraqi Kurds over territory and resources, and the rivalry between two of the country's main Kurdish parties.
An AFP correspondent saw Kurdish security personnel with black Humvee armoured vehicles and trucks deployed at the entrance to the North Oil Company in the northern province of Kirkuk.
The forces halted pumping through the pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, but "pumping operations gradually resumed after noon today, hours after they stopped," a senior North Oil Company official said.
"All employees and workers and technicians returned to their work," the official said.
A top official in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party, whose forces deployed at the company, described the move as a message to the federal government and threatened further escalation.
"The e ntry of the military force to the North Oil Company came to send a message to Baghdad, saying it should establish an oil refinery in Kirkuk," Asso Mamand told AFP.
"We give Baghdad a period of one week to set up an oil refinery in Kirkuk (and) stop the decision to send oil to other Iraqi provinces," Mamand said, threatening "to take complete control of the North Oil Company" if this is not done.
An agreement on establishing a new refinery in Kirkuk was signed earlier this year, but work has yet to begin.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), the ruling party of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, asked its rival for an explanation.
"We demanded that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan announce their demands and clarify the reason for the presence of these forces inside the North Oil Company," said Mohammed Khorsheed, the KDP's top Kirkuk official.
While oil-rich Kirkuk province is officially part of federal Iraq, most of it has been controlled by the PUK since federal forces fled the sweeping 2014 offensive by the Islamic State group, and the Kurds want to keep it.
The conflict with IS has pushed that and other territorial disputes between the Kurds and Baghdad to the background, but they will likely reemerge after the end of major military operations against the jihadists.
Iraqi Kurdistan is also riven by internal political rivalries that would undermine any move toward a long-mooted declaration of independence for the region.

"I've been at my current job for almost three years, but I've never really loved it. I don't feel inspired; I feel like I'm chasing a paycheck. It might be time to throw in the towel—but how do I know for sure?" A young man, Noah, approached us after a speaking engagement wondering if we could give him advice on whether we think it's time for him to move on. We felt his pain. Everyone's had at least one dead-end gig that seemed to be going nowhere. Sometimes, it's exactly the right move to head somewhere better. That's why it makes sense that over 60% of Americans are interested in leaving their current positions. But Noah wanted to know—and so should you, if you're looking to make a big move—when should you start packing your bags, and when should you give your current job another chance? Here's what we've discovered in our own careers, and through years of research and coaching clients from across the country and around the globe.
It's time to leave your job if…
1. You Just Can't Connect With Your Leader Or Team
You may have heard the saying "People leave managers, not companies." And on the flip side, you probably know that great companies pride themselves on their unique people. Ask many employees at top-notch companies what they love most about their job, and they'll likely answer, "My team!" The people you work with can make or break a work situation. So if you've given it your all, and you're still discovering serious irreconcilable differences with colleagues, it's probably time to move on. Unfortunately, people aren't likely to change to accommodate your personality or work needs. Don't worry; you're not alone — Gallup reports that nearly half of job-seekers want to leave because they're frustrated with their managers. Just remember to pay close attention during your next interview process. Look for a team and leader who make you comfortable and bring out your best. Prioritize cultural fit, and you can avoid finding yourself in this situation again in the future.
Watch on Forbes:
2. No One Appreciates A Job Well Done
With all the proven benefits of sincere recognition for great work, it's pretty incredible that teams — and entire workplaces — still exist where appreciation is not a priority (or even an afterthought). If you're stuck in a company where this is the case, it may be time to make a move on. But before you go, think carefully. Have you done your best to lead the way in appreciating greatness? Do you share kudos and congratulations — and still hear crickets when you pull out all the stops yourself? If you can honestly say yes, then pack your bags. If you feel like you haven't pulled your weight either, try to give it another month or so. Say thank you often and sincerely. Look for signs that your leader does the same. At the end of the day, an organization that doesn't prioritize gratitude doesn't prioritize you and that's not a workplace that will bring out your best or make you happy in the long run.
3.There Are No Opportunities For Professional Growth
There's nothing worse than growing stagnant at work. That's why top companies often offer employees development and further education classes. It's why industry conferences are attended by tens of thousands, and smart publications are picked up and shared throughout workplaces. People are inherently curious; if your company doesn't allow you opportunities for growth and development, they're dampening your abilities to grow and adapt with the times. Sometimes, companies simply don't have the budget to help you grow professionally. That can be remedied — you can attend free webinars or listen to podcasts, for example. But if your leadership is actively resistant to professional growth, that's a real sign of trouble. If you're interested in knowing more and doing more, you want to be at a workplace that supports you, not working for a boss who's afraid he'll lose his competitive edge. If that's the case, it's time to make a move. You deserve to be uplifted and empowered to grow.
4. Your Wellness Continuously Suffers Because Of The Job
Most employees don't live to work — they work to live. And if your current job is wreaking havoc on your ability to enjoy life, it may be time to make a change. Don't think we're advocating everyone should leave their jobs in search of endlessly flexible hours or unlimited paid vacation. Most companies simply don't offer these types of benefits. But what we do advocate is a dose of self-reflection. Is your mental, social, or physical wellness continuously suffering because of your job? There are small changes you can make to improve your workplace wellness — here's a great list to get started. But aside from moving more and keeping hydrated, there are environmental factors (like endless high-stress, or lack of fresh air and natural light) that you can't escape. If your current job is hurting your long-term wellness, start the job hunt. When you're not well, your productivity, innovation, and satisfaction suffer. You don't want that — and neither does your employer.

Don't Leave Yet if…
5. You Feel Like You're Not Doing Great Work
At your current job, do you make a difference for your team, your leaders, and your customers? Are you making positive changes and chasing new innovations? If you're shaking your head no, well, this is your issue to solve and not your organization's. Of course it can be demoralizing and frustrating to feel like you don't make a difference at work. We all started our jobs with the intention of being awesome. But not producing your best work is not a reason to leave — rather, it's a chance to embrace a new mindset. Global research culling from more than one million cases of award winning work reveal five skills that universally lead to great work. Take it upon yourself as a goal to make a difference at work that people will love. Your bosses will likely notice your newfound passion and pursuit. They hopefully will recognize your efforts and support you in your quest of achieving greatness.
Noah listened intently as we gave our opinion and findings. "I think the problem with my current position is a combination of colleagues who don't want to collaborate and a boss who never shares credit when it's due. I'm glad you pointed these factors out, because you're right — they're not likely to change. But, it's interesting that you mentioned the concept of being my best. I'm going to think about that."
No matter what he chooses, we support Noah's decision and wish him the best. But, we wanted to ask you, the reader: what are your dead giveaways for when a job isn't going to work out and it's time to find something new? Share below.

North Neighborhood Library Closing July 31; Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library to Open September 10
2016-07-21 · By Editor
On Sunday, July 31, at 4:00 pm, the North Neighborhood Library, 5571 Orange Avenue, will close in preparation for the opening of the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library on Saturday, September 10, at 10:00 am. The closure is necessary to move the collection, supplies and other items to the new location and assure operational excellence at the new site.
"We are all very excited that the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library will soon be opening its doors for the residents of Long Beach," said Mayor Robert Garcia. "This new library will include an extensive book collection and the latest technology and computers."
The new library, located at 5870 Atlantic Avenue, will be three and one-half times the size of the previous location, will have three community rooms and study rooms with audio visual technology to support group meetings, workshops, seminars and group study needs.
"The Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library will be a place for the community to gather, learn, and build strong community ties," said Councilmember Al Austin.
"The iconic new Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library will set a new standard for design and architecture on the Atlantic corridor," said Councilmember Rex Richardson. "It is a symbol to inspire the public to reach higher and achieve their dreams."
Library materials may still be returned to the North Neighborhood Library book drops, and will be checked in on the same day. Materials can also be returned in person at any open Long Beach library. The nearest libraries to North Neighborhood Library are:
- Dana Library, 3680 Atlantic Avenue
- Bach Library, 4055 Bellflower Boulevard
- Harte Library, 1595 West Willow Street
"The new library will be the first library in Long Beach to feature an automated book return system that efficiently assists staff with returning library materials to the shelves more quickly for the public," said Glenda Williams, Library Services Director.
During the closure, patrons will also be able to place requests for books and other material, and choose their temporary location for pick-up. Notifications to the public will be made through signs posted at the library, announcements on the Library's website, and social media, including Facebook and Twitter.
About Long Beach Public Library
Long Beach Public Library, founded in 1896, serves a diverse urban city of close to half a million people. The Long Beach Public Library system includes Main Library, eleven other unique Neighborhood Libraries and a vibrant online presence. With an emphasis on providing free and equal access to information and support for lifelong-learning, the Library offers books, media, downloads, databases, Internet access, Family Learning Centers and a variety of events ranging from story times to cultural programs.

SASKATOON – A Saskatchewan couple have found out they are quite the match for each other in more ways than one. They shared Valentine's Day together after a successful set of surgeries.
"To be able to spend this Valentine's Day together when you've been through something like that is life altering for both people. It's just to me the greatest gift that anyone could have given me," said Chris Willenborg.

READ MORE: Saskatchewan watching organ donation debate, but no plans to change
Willenborg and his fiancée Errin Tollefson met in 2009 at an agricultural conference and have remains friends ever since. On their first couple dates, Willenborg learned that Tollefson was a dialysis patient.
"I got to know more about it as I got to know more about her and really what it was that changed me was seeing Errin get an infection. People on dialysis are more prone to infections that can be actually quite life-threatening in some cases without medical intervention," Willenborg said.
"What it boils down to is, Errin was basically born with one kidney, essentially, that quit functioning when she came into her 20s."
Originally, Tollefson's father was set to donate his kidney.
"[Her father] did start the donation process but unfortunately in that process they did find that he had cancer and so despite doing everything he could to give the kidney, he was unable to do that and passed away shortly after," Willenborg said.
Willenborg says he got tested, found out he was a suitable match and everything just spiralled from there.
"I was able to match and sort of pick up where [her father] left off," Willenborg said.
The surgery date was Feb. 4 and Tollefson was released from hospital on the Friday just before Valentine's Day.
"As far as we know, a complete success, they tell us that the kidney's actually functioning in the 90th percentile of all the kidneys that they've transplanted in Saskatoon, which means that it's doing extremely well," Willenborg said.
"Having her home and even just two days together, to be able to just hang out, you don't have that sense of wondering 'is she doing OK,' … so for both of us those anxieties of how the other one is doing are almost completely alleviated when we're together."
He proposed back in February 2015 and their wedding is set for this August.
Besides his symbolic gesture of love to his fiancée, Valentine's Day will also continue to a serve as a reminder of the importance of organ donation for Willenborg.
"I really hope that when people hear this, they think about either signing their organ donor card or even consider living donation because I didn't know anything about it a year ago and it so far has been by far the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life," Willenborg said.

Love this man! After years of waiting I finally got to see him play here in the UK this year in a teeny tiny cafe with an audience of about 20. He was amazing (as expected) and that night will always be remembered as my favourite gig ever, he may as well have played in my living room! I made my mum and sister come and they fell a whole lot in love with him too!

The main function of Vitamin C is as an anti-oxidant. This means that it works to prevent oxidation, or free-radicals destroying cells.
Research is lacking when it comes to determining how much C is found in common feedstuffs. In fact, C concentrations in typical horse feeds is unknown.
What is known is that the horse is able to synthesize C from glucose. Based on a number of studies, it is currently assumed that the horse meets his entire C need by manufacturing it in his own body, meaning he does not need an outside vitamin C source.
It also appears that C deficiency and toxicity are of very little concern in horses...which is good news for us owners!
Scurvy, which is characterized by tiredness, rash on the legs, and bleeding gums, is the classic sign of vitamin C deficiency. However, scurvy has never been reported in horses.
Even though scurvy has never been reported in horses, a few studies have linked low ascorbic acid blood levels with other diseases.
It is important to realize that these studies have simply linked the two...as of yet, there has been no determination as to whether or not it is a cause and effect relationship.
For example, it could be something completely different that is causing both the low ascorbic acid blood level AND the disease -- in which case supplementing to increase the ascorbic acid blood level would not get rid of or prevent the disease.
These diseases include strangles, acute rhinopneumonia, increased wound infections after operations, and decreased performance levels.
Even more good news about C...vitamin C toxicity has never been reported in horses!
In fact, a toxic level hasn't even been established in most domestic animals. Since C is one of the water-soluble vitamins, this is not really surprising, as excess is simply flushed out of the body.

Hosted by Books and Chocolate
Here are the categories to choose from:
- A 19th Century Classic — any book published between 1800 and 1899.
- A 20th Century Classic — any book published between 1900 and 1965. Just like last year, all books must have been published at least 50 years ago to qualify as a classic. The only exception is books that were published posthumously but written at least 50 years ago.)
- A Classic by a Woman Author.
A Classic in Translation. As in last year's category, this can be any classic book originally written or a published in a language that is not your first language. Feel free to read it in its original form if you are comfortable reading in another language.
- A Very Long Classic Novel — a single work of 500 pages or longer. This does not include omnibus editions combined into one book, or short story collections.
- A Classic Novella — any work shorter than 250 pages. For a list of suggestions, check out this list of World's Greatest Novellas from Goodreads.
- A Classic with a Person's Name in the Title. First name, last name, or both, it doesn't matter, but it must have the name of a character. David Copperfield, The Brothers Karamazov, Don Quixote — something like that. It's amazing how many books are named after people!
- A Humorous or Satirical Classic. Humor is very subjective, so this one is open to interpretation. Just tell us in the review why you think it's funny or satirical. For example, if you think that Crime and Punishment and funny, go ahead and use it, but please justify your choice in your post.
- A Forgotten Classic. This could be a lesser-known work by a famous author, or a classic that nobody reads any more. If you look on Goodreads, this book will most likely have less than 1000 ratings. This is your chance to read one of those obscure books from the Modern Library 100 Best Novels or 1001 Books to Read Before You Die. Books published by Virago Modern Classics,Persephone, and NYRB Classics often fall into this category.
- A Nonfiction Classic. A memoir, biography, essays, travel, this can be any nonfiction work that's considered a classic, or a nonfiction work by a classic author. You'd be surprised how many classic authors dabbled in nonfiction writing — I have nonfiction books by Dickens, Trollope, Twain, and Steinbeck on my shelves.
- A Classic Children's Book. A book for your inner child! Pick a children's classic that you never got around to reading.
- A Classic Play. Your choice, any classic play, as long as it was published or performed before 1965. Plays are only eligible for this specific category.
There are no required categories and there is a drawing for a giveaway at the end.

Low cost method for forming elevated metal bumps on integrated circuit bodies employing an aluminum/palladium metallization base for electroless plating
Elevated metal contact bumps are provided on a microelectronic semiconductor circuit, with the use of aluminum-palladium metallization as a base for selective electroless plating. The aluminum and palladium are preferably deposited sequentially in a single operation, i.e., without exposing the aluminum surface to the atmosphere. The aluminum-palladium film is then patterned in a single step, using an etchant which attacks both metals at substantially the same rate. The metal pattern is then covered with an insulation layer wherein apertures are opened to expose palladium at selected sites for immersion in an electroless plating bath of ionic Cu or Ni for bump formation.
Latest Texas Instruments Incorporated Patents:
This application relates to microelectronic semiconductor circuits, and more particularly to the formation of elevated metal contacts ("bumps") for such circuits. A process for the fabrication of contact bumps is provided, using aluminum-palladium metallization as a base for slective electroless plating.
In the manufacture of integrated circuits, several techniques have evolved for providing electrical contact to the bonding pads of the circuit. One approach involves the fabrication of elevated metal contact bumps on the bonding pads in order to facilitate various mechanized assembly processes such as the flip-chip bonding, and other bonding techniques for the attachment of lead frames to a circuit chip.
In fabrication of elevated metal bump contacts, it has previously been recognized that a metal barrier layer is required between the bump contact and the underlying aluminum metallization. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,623,961, issued Nov. 30, 1971, to van Laer and 3,663,184 issued May 16, 1972, to Wood et al. The van Laer process begins with a sequential deposition of aluminum and nickel, followed by a selective patterning of the nickel, then by bump formation, and finally, the aluminum is patterned using the nickel layer as a mask.
In accordance with the present invention, several improvements with respect to the prior art, including van Leer, are achieved. Elevated metal contact bumps are provided on a microelectronic semiconductor circuit, with the use of aluminum-palladium metallization as a base for selective electroless plating. The aluminum and palladium are preferably deposited sequentially in a single operation, i.e., without exposing the aluminum surface to the atmosphere. The aluminum-palladium film is then patterned in a single step, using an etchant which attacks both metals at substantially the same rate. The metal pattern is then covered with an insulation layer having apertures therein to expose palladium at selected sites for immersion in an electroless plating bath of ionic copper or nickel for bump formation.
In one embodiment of the invention a method for the metallization of a semiconductor integrated circuit is provided, beginning with the step of forming an insulation layer on the semiconductor, said insulation layer having apertures at locations selected for ohmic contact to the semiconductor surface. A thin film of aluminum and a thin film of palladium are then sequentially deposited on the insulation layer and in said apertures. Both the aluminum and palladium films are then patterned by selective etching with an etchant that attacks both metals. The resulting pattern is then covered with a second layer of insulation, and the second layer is provided with apertures which selectively expose palladium at locations where metal bumps are desired. The exposed palladium is then immersed in a suitable plating bath for the formation of nickel or copper bumps.
FIGS. 1-3 are enlarged cross sectional views of a semiconductor wafer, illustrating a sequence of process steps used in fabricating the elevated metal contacts of the invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, silicon substrate 11 is provided with a first insulation layer 12 having apertures therein for exposing device areas 14 to which ohmic contact is desired. A metallization layer comprising aluminum film 13 and palladium film 15 is deposited and patterned on layer 12 in accordance with known processes. Also, a selective etchant solution of nitric, acetic, and phosphoric acids has been found suitable for patterning palladium and aluminum.
As shown in FIG. 2, the structure of FIG. 1 is then covered with a second insulation layer comprising silicon oxide film 16 and silicon nitride film 17. Typically, these materials are deposited by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. For example, oxide layer 16 is about 7000 angstroms thick to provide mechanical protection for the circuit, while nitride layer 17 is about 3000 angstroms thick to provide the chip with a hermetic seal.
Photoresist layer 18 is then deposited and patterned to provide apertures 19 at locations where elevated metal bump contacts are desired. Using resist layer 18 as a mask, apertures 19 are extended through nitride layer 17 and oxide layer 16 to expose palladium layer 15. The wafer is then immersed in an aqueous electroless plating bath containing, for example, a 2.0% concentration of nickel sulfate and 1.0% NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.2, at a PH of 4-5, adjusted with sulphuric acid and a suitable base such as NH.sub.4 OH. After 60 minutes immersion at a temperature of 160.degree.-190.degree. F., a nickel bump of about 1/2 mil in height is achieved. In the alternative, a Cu bump may be plated with the use of a similar bath.
As shown in FIG. 3, the area of bump formation includes nickel bump 20, palladium film 15, oxide film 12 and silicon substrate 11. The surrounding surface is sealed and passivated by oxide 16 and nitride 17. The bump may then be protected by a final gold layer 21, also applied by electroless plating.
The discovery of palladium as a unique barrier metal in bump metallization systems has sharply increased the yields and reliability of integrated circuit devices designed for "gang-bonding" or "flip-chip" mounting. The cost savings are also quite substantial, since the invention permits both the aluminum and the barrier to be deposited and patterned together, as a single operation, thereby reducing the overall number of fabrication steps. The palladium is compatible with aluminum and with the subsequently deposited insulation film, in that it adheres well to both, and has a thermal coefficient of expansion that is sufficiently close to aluminum that no significant stress problems result. Palladium is also far superior as a surface for electroless plating, compared to nickel, and therefore permits additional savings compared to electroplating, which is a time-consuming and expensive process.
1. A method for the metallization of a semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming an insulation layer on the semiconductor, said layer having apertures at locations for ohmic contact to said semiconductor;
- (b) sequentially depositing a thin film of aluminum and a thin film of palladium on said layer and in said apertures;
- (c) patterning both said films; in a single step
- (d) covering the resulting pattern with a second layer of insulation, and patterning to provide said second layer apertures which selectively expose palladium at locations on said pattern where metal bumps are desired; then
- (e) plating the exposed palladium with a suitable metal for bump formation, by electroless plating and continuing the plating until a bump of sufficient height is formed.
2. A method is in claim 1 wherein said semiconductor is silicon, and said first insulation layer is silicon oxide.
3. A method is in claim 1 wherein said step of patterning the aluminum-palladium film includes selectively etching with acetic, phosphoric and nitric acids.
4. A method as in claim 1 wherein said second layer of insulation is formed by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition of SiO.sub.2 and SI.sub.3 N.sub.4.
5. A method as in claim 1 wherein said plating step includes immersion of the exposed palladium in an electroless plating bath of an ionic Ni or Cu compound.
6. A method as in claim 1 further including the step of coating the resulting bump with a layer of gold.
7. A method as in claim 1 wherein the resist pattern used for forming apertures in the second layer of insulation is left in place during the subsequent plating step to form metal bumps.

Our featured Reviewer for September 2013 is Wyatt P., of the Gere Branch Library.
Although he's only been a paid employee of the libraries for a year (as of 2013), Wyatt has a much longer history with the Gere Branch Library, as you'll see from his comments below. His reviews first appeared on our Customer Reviews page(s), and since April 2013, his reviews have been showing up regularly on the Staff Recommendations pages of the BookGuide web site, and on the Staff Recommendations display at Bennett Martin Public Library. Meet Wyatt P., in his answers to our profile questions:
Would you care to share any personal info with our readers — such as where you grew up, what you read as a child, how long you've been with the libraries, etc.?
I've lived in Lincoln all my life, and have many memories of going to Gere Branch and just browsing the shelves. I have had the unique experience of being home schooled since second grade, and as I now enter my Senior year of high school, I look forward to going to college and earning my degree in Library Science. I, like so many others, learned to read with the wonderful Dr. Seuss books, and then expanded into the juvenile chapter books. I did go on a kick in third or fourth grade where I read everything by Beverly Cleary.
How long have you been an active reader, and were there any particular books or authors or other people that "made you a reader"?
I've been a reader for most of my life. Reading is a joy to me in my day, and even when work and school keep me busy, I still manage to have at least one book going. A few of the series that made me a big reader are The Deltora Quest series by Emily Rodda, and The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, both of which I read in middle school and are wonderful fantasy adventure stories that I would still reread today. Most recently the novel that has influenced me most has been The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, which is a fantastic story regarding childhood and memory, and is one of my favorites.
How important are books and reading to you, currently?
Books are very important to me. I believe the written word holds such power and allows us, as readers, to experience something so intensely visceral. It can be used for escapism, learning, or just entertainment. Not only do I read for my own entertainment but also to become more acquainted with a wider range of subjects to better help patrons find that perfect book they may not have been expecting.
How do you select what books to read next?
I often look through the BookGuide site as well as talk to coworkers and friends. Book bloggers have also become a daily source of book recommendations and information. I will also take a look at my ever increasing bookshelves, where the things I have yet to get to reside.
What do you enjoy about writing book recommendations?
I like that people are able to find their next good read through my review. Sitting down to write a review also puts me in the position to better analyze the text and story, making me think of the dynamics of characters and settings harder than I would otherwise, and opening up different elements of the story and writing.
What is your history with the Lincoln City Libraries – how long have you been a customer, and how long have you worked for LCL? Which locations?
I have been going to Gere Branch since I was a small child. I then had the wonderful opportunity to become a Summer Reading volunteer and then a member of Gere's Teen Advisory Board. After several years of volunteering I was thrilled when I was able to become a Library Aide at my favorite branch! I have now worked officially for a year at Gere Branch Library and have enjoyed the experience greatly.
Do you have a favorite literary-related website you like to visit or that you'd like to recommend?
Goodreads.com is a great source of book information and is a wonderful tool to use in keeping track of what you have read and own. You are also able write and read reviews of just about every book you can think of, making it a great way to pick out a book others are recommending.
Are there any interesting book- or reading-related stories or bits of trivia in your past that you'd like to share with our readers?
I did get the great experience to meet Rainbow Rowell, Omaha author of the bestselling Eleanor & Park, at an author reading where I was able to have my books signed! We exchanged book recommendations and briefly talked about some of our favorites. It was my first time meeting an author and Rainbow is just great! I also just recently got lucky and won a signed copy of The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, who grew up in Lincoln and graduated from East High School. I always get excited about Nebraskan authors.
and finally…
If there was only one author you could convince people to read, that author would be:
I can narrow it down to two authors currently, but that's it! Neil Gaiman has such a way with words and creates fantasy stories that are just so amazing, though they read like a fairy tale you can't help but relate to his characters and be sucked into his fantastic worlds. I do not read a lot of contemporary fiction, so it says quite a bit about Rainbow Rowell's novels when I say they are just great!

Going Euro Crazy in Chatsworth, CA
If you've never been to a Euro car meet, then your first time might be a little overwhelming and you're bound to see some things you didn't expect. You're also going to meet some great people and you're going to run into some pretty amazing cars. This was especially true of the recent Euro16 car show in sunny Chatsworth, California at the Rancho San Antonio Boys Home. The variety of cars on display was pretty remarkable with GTIs slammed on HRE wheels, super clean Opel Mantas and a pristine right hand drive Mercedes W108 on air bags. The Southern California European car scene is incredibly diverse and attending a non-marque specific event really reinforces that.
The Euro16 show was a non-profit event with proceeds going to the Rancho San Antonio Boys Home. There were well over 500 cars in attendance from almost every major European brand and even a few Japanese cars managed to sneak in. The atmosphere was friendly with everyone seemingly excited about everyone else's projects. Among our favorite vehicles on display were a rare E39 BMW Touring in Sterling Gray Metallic and on airbags as well as an extremely clean and original-looking Mercedes-Benz 190e 2.3-16 Cosworth. There was even an awesome first-generation Scirocco racecar there that kind of blew our minds. Despite living on the track, it appeared to have been well taken care of and we can only imagine that it would be a blast to hammer it around Willow Springs for a day!
In the end, there were so many amazing cars that it would have been impossible to document them all, but we grabbed shots of what we feel were the highlights of the show. It ended up being a fantastic event and we can't wait to see what people bring out next year!

What's so special about individuality anyway? Some sense of pride to numb the pain of rejection? Whatever you've got to tell yourself, but you got to wake up one day and realize, you either stop whining and accept you're alone and probably will always be (some people do that and it suits them and more power to you if this is already the case) or change yourself.
If I'm comfortable where I stand, I don't give a **** if it's where someone else stands. If it's that way, at least I'm not alone. Just because you got some sense of "individuality" doesn't mean you're special or better than everyone else.
[Edited by Neo7, 6/23/2010 12:10:32 PM]
I said it was necessarily anything speical although from my experiences people generally seem to have more of a distinctive personality than those who follow the masses.
I'm pretty sure a healthy middle-ground between social conformity and individuality can be found pretty easy without any fear of "rejection".

I had 3 good friends in High School out of all the people who tried to convince me they were my friend. The rest regularly went behind my back.
Honestly, I couldn't care less if I was popular. Popularity breeds arrogance, which breeds contempt, which breeds an air of superiority that just isn't there. When you put on airs, it doesn't matter if you're popular, you just end up looking like a jackass.
A lot of people on CHU have been putting on airs like their views are the most important ever. Everyone who has criticized Nic and Zeth's relationship has come across as arrogant and self-righteous in some form or another, for example.
The formspring trolls are another set of idiots who think they can hold themselves above us decent folk who at least have the nerve to say things to one's face instead of hide behind false anonymity.
If I stand alone, so what, better to be true to myself than a popularity *****. If I stand with others, good for them, they're standing with me and my views in my eyes.
But we're getting off topic it seems.
Justin Beiber.... Gotta say, I hope he's not an AB/DL, or his partner damn well better be able to explain the pampers size 6 packages in the shopping cart...
Also, Jack Black makes me laugh. That's the basis for me liking him. I wouldn't really call it crushing.
Oh, I had assumed that you were crushing. The post you originally replied to was talking more along the lines of crushing, so I assumed that you liked him in that way. My bad. =)
That really doesn't justify being a douchebag...
I don't think any teenage girls even like Justin in that way. He doesn't really fit the type of guy a teenage girl crushes on. He also doesn't make me laugh.

All I did was point out that you don't exactly fit the mold of the average teenage girl. That is all. I don't care if you don't want to be average, or what you think them. It's similar to you calling me a douchebag, only mine was not directly to the point.

Published at Tuesday, October 08th, 2019 - 21:37:30 PM. Coloring Picture. By Raymonde Barreau.
One of the most popular and enduring subjects for coloring pages is the superhero known as Batman. Young boys always seem to enjoy working on Batman pages. Maybe its because he is just seen as cool, or maybe it is because he is a human hero with a load of cool gadgets.It seems that Batmans popularity will never stop. With several recent high quality and respected movies he really appeals to males of all ages. He's a great subject for dads to sit and work on with their sons. Every generation knows the hero and can talk about him. Here's a tip, why not ask your child to make up a story about what is happening in the picture, maybe just before or after the scene that is shown. Or why not ask your child to add in extra characters or even the batmobile. Don't feel you are done once the character is colored in, why not use it as a starting point for elaboration?
Very young children don't know the places where they are not allowed to draw and might do their coloring on the floor, walls, furniture and so on; apart from that they like tasting everything they hold in their hands like crayons, markers or paints. That's why they require continues supervision. But older children can work independently, giving you lots of free time, although they also enjoy a parent coloring along side them. Every child also likes to be appreciated by his parents. In this case we recommend to post children's best creative masterpieces in a prominent place in the house. It will give more confidence to your kids.

Computer Lays the Prettiest Brick Walls Since Eladio Dieste
Images by Jessica Rosenkrantz
One of the oldest green building materials known to humankind, bricks have great thermal mass and last almost forever. But laying them takes skill, and complex forms and shapes are hard to design and build.
Now Professor Ingeborg Rocker and students at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard have taught a computer to do it.
From Dezeen:
Going beyond the model scale, and working with the Robotic arm set up new design challenges which were tightly linked to the construction techniques, material constraints, and structural limitations encountered in full scale building modus.
Using a modular unit of the masonry brick the team developed a systematic aggregation creating a wall consisting out of 4100 bricks.
The wall's double layered running bond varies from a straight line to a maximum undulation, which creates an inhabitable space.
The emerging space and pattern is the resultant of a set of principles (algorithms) applied to a simple rectangular brick module, taking into account its material and technical parameters.
But did the Swiss beat them to it?
Commenters on Dezeen pointed to earlier work by Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler of ETH Zurich, who used real brick for an installation at the Venice Biennale
Alessandra Bello
From Gramazio & Kohler:
The design of the wall followed algorithmic rules and was built on site at the Giardini, the grounds of the Biennale, by the R-O-B mobile robotic fabrication unit. With its looped form, the wall defines an involuted central space and an interstitial space beyond, between the brick wall and the existing structure of the pavilion. Passing from one space to the other, the visitor gains access to the exhibition. Through its materiality and spatial configuration the wall, consisting of 14,961 individually rotated bricks, enters into a direct dialogue with the modernist brick structure from 1951 by Swiss architect Bruno Giacometti.
Eladio Dieste did it the hard way
Fifty years ago, a talented architect could put together a team of masons to build this kind of thing, as Eladio Dieste did with his church in Uruguay.
With computers and robotic bricklaying, this kind of design could become almost common. More at Dezeen

DAF is the heart of our MWTS. DAF – Dissolved Air Flotation, is technology that has been in use for almost a century. Our innovation of DAF technology is reinforced with 11 patents granted in the past 16 years, 5 patents active, and 3 patent applications on file for the continued advancement of DAF and new Evaporator technology.
Historically, the standard DAF treatment capacity was 50+ microns and current competing technologies can typically treat down to 10-15 microns at best. Our DAF can treat contaminants down to one micron. This means that even the smallest contaminants cannot get past our DAF.
If contaminants are present in solution, which essentially means that contaminants are no longer in the water but are a part of the water, our DAF teams up with the best membrane technology, to make our MWTS able to address every water treatment need.
|Standard DAF
|Micro-Flow MWTS
|1.2mm GPD
DAF is a method of coagulation-flocculation used as pretreatment for contaminated source water. Since DAF is particularly well suited for the removal of algae, unwanted coloring, and lighter particles (such as dust and clays) that resist settling out of treated source water, employing this technique before desalinization (RO) reduces clogging from organics that cause maintenance problems downstream from delicate filtration membranes. Where we encounter highly turbid waters caused by denser (heavier) particles. When the DAF is in action, the influent fills the DAF at a rate of 280 gpm for standard DAF, 830 gpm for MAGNA MWTS, and up to 35 gpm for the Micro-Flow MWTS.
When necessary, a chemical coagulant or flocculent may be added, such as iron salts, aluminum salts, or polymers, to the source water to facilitate bonding among particulates. Coagulants work by creating a chemical reaction, eliminating negative charges that cause particles to repel each other. Mixing the coagulant and source water is a process known as flocculation. The churning of water induces particles to collide and clump together into larger and more easily removable "clots" or "flocs." The flocculated water is pumped into our DAF tank where the water is subjected to a large infusion of tiny, pressurized air bubbles. The action of these bubbles floats "clots" of particles to the surface of the DAF tank where they are skimmed off to a waste tank for disposal.
DAF is an excellent alternative to sedimentation. It performs a similar task by an opposite method—forcing coagulated contaminant clumps that are flocculated to the surface rather than allowing them to settle out on the bottom.

Developers of "Cool Roof" Buildings May Catch a Break
Natalie Alcoba reports:
"The green roof bylaw applies to new high-rise condos and office buildings with floor surface greater than 2,000 square metres, to mid-rise buildings that are higher than eight storeys, industrial plants, schools and non-profit housing.
Advocates contend that green roofs reduce the 'urban heat island,' but opponents from the industrial sector warn the cost of installing such roofs on their massive plants could drive companies out of Toronto. New industrial buildings are exempt until April 30.
On Tuesday, the Toronto Catholic District School Board also raised money as an issue as it sought an exemption from the bylaw and the cash in lieu contribution it has to pay instead."

We have ravens. We have ghosts. We have priceless art and lots of history. We also have a slightly less well known treasure in the form of the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection.
Around 10,000 objects of historic dress dating from the 17th century onwards are stored carefully in the apartments of Hampton Court Palace. The collection boasts items of dress worn by William III, Queen Victoria and Diana, Princess of Wales, to name but a few. We have servants' liveries from 1817 and a lock of George III's hair. We have dresses, shoes, hats, and lace, and coronation robes so heavy it takes a team of 6 to move.
We also have a problem. Unlike a vase or a painting, a dress cannot simply be placed on a surface and be seen as it was intended to be seen. Dress is made to be worn on a body; it is made to move. In the case of historic dress, it is made-to-measure to fit a very specific body. Consequently, it takes skilled Conservation Specialists days and weeks to recreate the body and the underpinnings that make sense of it.
Part of my job is to make sure that the collection is accessible to as many people as possible, and you'll notice as you explore our palaces that gems from the dress collection are on display. However, a way to see much more of the collection is to carefully dress and then photograph the many objects boxed up in the stores. We've been doing just that. The beautiful dress above is just one of many we've been capturing, and which we're going to get out to you in various ways in the near future. Watch this space…

Third time's the charm on the Inc. 5000
The summer of 2015 continues to be good to us here at DataXu: we've been named to Inc. Magazine's annual list of the fastest growing private companies in America for the third year in a row. The 2015 Inc. 5000 includes the most competitive crop to date, with the average company on the list achieving three-year growth-rates in the triple digits.
Clocking in at 362%, our three-year growth-rate landed us at #1167. Taking into account the ever growing base Inc. measures on, we are thrilled to have made the cut again.
Earlier this summer, Forrester named us the clear market leader in its DSP Wave, setting us apart from the competition in a crowded space. Although our stellar growth only played a small part in that industry accolade, it helps reaffirms our current position, strategy and upward trajectory. A big thank you to our clients, partners, investors, board of advisors and employees who have helped make this happen. DataXu wouldn't have a triple digit growth rate if it weren't for you!
It's a point of pride to have made this prestigious list since 2013. Here's hoping DataXu's growth will land us on the list for a 4th time in 2016! Onward and upward!

My son and I have had our eyes on this one for awhile, so when I finally got my chance to try it I was still tossed between which naughty pleasure I would enjoy while in Toronto for a convention ; Hooters (for the chicken wings, of course) or this poutine specialty restaurant. I went for the poutine. (Less to explain if your wife finds you dead of a heart attack than if she finds a Hooters receipt in your wallet).
The menu is basically a whole bunch of different combinations of stuff you can put on standard poutine, which of course consists of fries, curds and gravy, eh? I had the pulled pork on top of the heaping mound of poutine. I may never eat again. Heck, I may never see my feet again.
Good - fresh cut fries, hot gravy, real curds. Some places try and get away with using mozzarella cheese just because it's white and melts up real stringy. That ain't right - it's supposed to be curds. This place uses them.
Great - Pop Shoppe Pop in the bottle. I had the Cherry Cola. Aaahh, the memories.
Room for Growth - I deliberately don't name the restaurant because I don't want to wrongly accuse, or seem to accuse. Cashier / order taker / cook working alone rang up my order with cash drawer open. When I asked for receipt he had to ring it up again to print the receipt. Typically that may mean that a) that cash was never destined for the cash drawer, or b) the taxman ain't getting his full share because not all sales get recorded, or c) cashier is correcting a previous error by not getting management involved.
No matter how you slice it, this is a danger signal that could mean that this place won't be around much longer if controls aren't in place. The owner probably can't figure out why his sales are down and food cost is up. Glad I came when I did, I may not get another chance.
I can only imagine how good this place is at 2 a.m. after a few brews. I'll let you know after the party tonight.
Just a little guy, having a little fun, with a lot of good friends. Don't take me too seriously. God knows I don't.

The Naked Fish Market
When I decided to write about restaurant experiences for the benefit of anyone who feels like reading this stuff I started with only three rules:
1. If I was going to name the place I would always say something good. In a few restaurants where this was not possible I have told the manager/owner in person and left it at that.
2. Never write about a friend's restaurant.
3. Never write about a restaurant in my own backyard.
Today I break rules #2 and #3 to rave about The Naked Fish Market in Kingsville, Ontario on the shores of Lake Erie in beautiful Essex County. My friend Rob Taylor owns this little fish and chip shop. Rob and I go back 12 or more years in the restaurant business, and I have always appreciated two things about Rob - his creativity and his commitment to quality. That pretty much describes TNFM.
The menu gives choices of several types of fish combos and other great appetizer and entree offerings (like Pulled Pork). I especially like the self-serve ice cream bar - buy your cone or cup and fill it as high as you want, one trip only. Rob says that's pretty popular with the kids from Kingsville High.
The ambience is cool, with just enough "naked" references to make it fun without being scandalous. You can buy an "Eat Naked" t-shirt for $10, or trade in the one you're wearing and pay nothing. Rob always has a way of taking something ordinary and putting a fun twist to it.
The place is small, busy, trendy, fun and fantastic. Rob is friendly and welcoming and putting everything he's learned from Red Lobster to Applebees and countless other smaller non-chain restaurants over the last decade into making this place work. He's clearly learned what doesn't work and left it out of TNFM. Working in the restaurant business can introduce you to some really amazing people and some pretty unsavoury characters too. Rob has his own story to tell about how he became the accidental entrepreneur after years of sweating it out in other people's kitchens, but I'll summarize for him. When life handed him lemons, he cut them into slices and served them with fish. I had the breaded fish and french fries and my wife had the battered haddock and fries. Both came with coleslaw. You can choose the number of pieces you want in a dinner and the price is reasonable. The fries are fresh!!
It works. It's cool. Sure, it's deep fried trans-fat free so I won't be eating there often. But as the most interesting man in the world from those beer commercials might say, "I don't always eat fish and chips, but when I do, I eat Naked."

The 5 Coolest Things about Windsor, Ontario
1. We're a microcosm of the Canadian experience. We can literally see how close Canada really is to the United States, we have a strong manufacturing base and a growing white collar base, we are agricultural and we are tourism and conventions. Fresh vegetables and fruits from the farm on which they are grown are no more than 30 minutes away for most Windsor residents. We are, however, a little light on snow and frostbite.
2. You can see next year's car models being driven around Windsor and Detroit. They're the head turning cars that have no name badges that make you wonder "what the hell is that?" Yesterday I saw a Volkswagon convertible sedan, might be a Passat. VERY cool!
3. We're fully bilingual. We speak American and Canadian. We drive in km/hour, purchase our gas in litres (when we're not across the border paying much less per gallon at the duty-free) and we measure the outside temperature in Farenheit degrees.
4. Good people do good work for their neighbours everyday in Windsor. Oh sure, we've got our share of movers and shakers (who are more often than not really just bobbers and weavers in cheap suits) but amongst the hoi polloi some very generous and caring people live.
5. We have at least one member in each level of government who really gets it. Brian Masse MP, Sandra Pupatello MPP and Bill Marra Councillor Ward 4 are straight shooters who are leaders among their peers. Good people.
Worst Greeting Ever
Worst greeting ever (at a restaurant last night after the movie let out).
Waiter/Bartender charges to the door as my wife and I walk in: "The people behind you left the doors open, they should be shut," brushing past us and directing us to the doors.
Me (confused): "What are you saying?"
Him: "The kitchen is closed." I look at my watch, it is 9:20 p.m. on a Tuesday night. We leave, no further pleasantries are exchanged. We get escorted out.
We won't be back.

Welcome Back City Workers!
A word on the new found civility in Windsor, Ontario...
Since our public employees started back to work this week I have found them to be polite and thorough in our interactions. My garbage was picked up and the area left clean, and the staff at the municipal gym are more friendly and accomodating than they've ever been.
I am also hearing that the city managers seem to be showing a generosity of spirit and a desire to show leadership in providing a welcoming and healthy workplace.
In other words, everyone appears to be doing their best to get along with everybody else; staff, management and hopefully customers (taxpayers) alike.
The only fly in the ointment is the squabbling at city council. This, unfortunately, was entirely predictable no one is paying any real attention to it. To paraphrase George Carlin's newsman routine about a publicity seeking fool, "nobody has noticed and nobody gives a damn."

Organic Solar Cells
Cost effective and highly efficient renewable energy is becoming ever more important due to the rising energy prices and the serious issue of global warming from burning fossil fuels. Solar energy is a non-exhaustible and green energy. Solar cells are being developed as a promising solution to the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Third-generation organic solar cells offer a promising alternative to First- and Second-generation inorganic solar cells due to their low cost, easy fabrication and compatibility with flexible substrates over a large area. The solar power generation market is a $65 Billion worldwide market with a 34% annual growth and technologies that increase the efficiency and manufacturing scalability of the solar cells will be key to capturing a large share of this market.
Roll-to-Roll Processing, Metallic Nanostructures and High Efficiency.
Researchers in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan have developed technologies to increase the efficiency of organic solar cells, remove the dependence on Indium, and enable high speed roll-to-roll processing. The technology uses a gas permeable silicone film that allows solvent evaporation and simultaneously induces shear flow to organize the polymer chains during polymer crystallization. Solar cells fabricated by this new method and by a roll-to-roll process showed improved device performance as compared with control samples made by the conventional thermal and solvent annealing methods. The technology also employs a cost-effective metallic nanostructured layer as the transparent, conductive electrode to replace expensive Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO).
Applications and Advantages
- Transparent, conductive coatings and electrodes.
- High speed roll-to-roll processing of organic solar cells.
- Increase of organic solar cell efficiency.
- Less expensive TCE (transparent conductive electrode) than currently commercially available.
- Fabrication method is easy to scale.
- Higher energy conversion efficiency.

Fancy Parking
This is one of my favorite cars, the Lincoln Continental Mark VI.
Yes, I was a Ford fan boy, predisposed to trying to love everything they made. But there was more than that here.
- I loved the whizbang technology of the "electronic" dash.
- At the time, I thought the proportions were better than the "look how long my dick hood is" proportions of the Mark V.
- 20 mpg on the highway? In a Lincoln? AYFKM?
- Yes, the styling was derivative. The deuce was still running the show, so of course it was.

Swedish Design Icons: Olle EksellWednesday 2 July 2014 • By liz
Olle Eksell was a revered Swedish designer and illustrator. Born in 1918 in Kopparberg (the place not the cider) he studied and then settled in Stockholm with his fashion designer wife Ruth. Eksell made his name in advertising, perhaps his most iconic creation being his Mazetti Cacao Eye design, above, developed for the chocolate and confectionery manufacturer and now adorning the walls of many a stylish home (check out his dedicated instagram feed).
His talent extended across several disciplines, advertising, graphic design, illustration and writing and his creations range from the simple and graphic to the fantastical and abstract. He was way ahead of his time, just take a look at some of his illustrative work. I particularly love his depictions of Stockholm, years later they still capture the scene perfectly. They're a superb balance of precision and crazy.
I want at least two of them to feature on my newly painted hallway and thankfully that is a possibility as the Scandinavian Design Center continue to sell his work, so take your pick from posters, tote bags, trays or tea towels.
If you're interested in finding out more about the man behind the art then I recommend you watch this series of interviews with his wife Ruth. There's also a pretty comprehensive book available which documents both his professional and private practice.
