Lt. Steven Short rescued this cat from a downstairs stairwell after a fire burned through condominiums Aug. 19.
Residents remained displaced after a fire ripped through the second and third floors of a large, four-unit condominium on Old Creek Road, near Wattles Road and Interstate 75, just before 7 a.m. Aug. 19.
A resident of the complex alerted the Fire Department after his smoke alarm sounded and he discovered smoke in his unit, according to a release.
Crews arrived to find a fire on the back side of the building, with fire and smoke visible from the first and second floors.
Two condo units were involved and two were endangered, so a second alarm was sounded due to the size of the blaze and the need to search the units to ensure everyone was out, according to a press release.
Troy Assistant Fire Chief Chuck Riesterer said that firefighters entered the center unit to put out the fire and conducted a primary search.
"There was high heat and smoke, but most of the fire appeared to be outside," he said.
Firefighters attacked the blaze from the back of the building while additional crews searched adjoining units for residents and to find and extinguish any extensions of the fire, the release states.
Crews reportedly knocked the fire down in about 30 minutes and spent the next hour checking for hotspots and confirming that the fire was completely out.
Firefighters confirmed in a final search that all residents were out of the four units involved in the fire.
Riesterer said that Fire Lt. Steven Short found a cat under the basement stairwell of an end unit.
"He put his arm out, and the cat jumped on it," Riesterer said. The cat was returned to his family at the scene.
Due to the extensive workload and high humidity, firefighters were rotated through a rehabilitation area staffed by paramedics to monitor their vital signs and to provide water.
Riesterer said the cause of the blaze remains under investigation, and displaced residents were relocated with family.
The building remains inhabitable, and the Troy Building Department is denying entry due to partial floor collapse in two of the units, the release states.
Damage is expected to exceed $100,000, according to the release.
No one was hurt.

Space enthusiasts were in for a shock when Donald Trump tweeted that the moon is a part of Mars and schooled National Aeronautical Space Agency (NASA) that it should scrap its lunar mission. In fact, Trump's latest assertions are strikingly converse to his earlier statement that he would like to see Americans land on the moon by 2024.
Just after concluding his Europe visit, Trump tweeted, "For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago." He further said that NASA should be rather focussed on a much bigger thing, including Mars (of which the moon is a part), defence and science.
The astronauts are yet to decipher on what exactly the US President meant when he called moon as a part of the Mars, though some are aligning it with the NASA's ambitions of setting up a space outpost in the moon that will send humans to Mars. Either way, Trump's remarks added to the confusion especially when his administration has urged the US Congress to increase the budget for the lunar mission as it plans to send humans to the moon by 2024, four years earlier than the proposed deadline of 2028.
On May 13, Trump had tweeted, "We are going back to the moon." Vice-President Mike Pence had laid out the lunar ambitions of the Trump government in October by saying, "Our determination is to see Americans back on the moon in the very near future."
The US government, in fact, sought a $20 billion budget to send US astronauts to the moon by 2024 under an accelerated programme, which was a key recommendation of newly appointed National Space Council led by Mike Pence.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine who has been appointed by Trump to take care of US moon landing mission said, "As @POTUS said, @NASA is using the Moon to send humans to Mars!."
What does space science say?
Even as the astronomy is clear that moon was formed due to the collision between Earth and the planet like object that resulted in the formation of debris called moon many years ago, the NASA did not come out clear after Trump's surprising remarks. The science holds that Mars which is the nearest planet to the Earth is exactly 140m miles away.
The NASA is, however, holding onto its programme of seeing a sustained human presence on Moon by 2024 which would further its ambitions of sending people to Mars by building a technology centre in the lunar space to explore more about the solar system.

The year of Schteve McClaren it seems.
Not only have Derby finished their highest in years, but Matt Derbyshire's weak header finding the net makes him joint top league goalscorer this year...
... with Ishamel Miller.
Andy Reid wins POTS.
Just shows Doughty was right to bring him in.
George Boateng is now Head Coach of Kelantan FA in Malaysia.
Jonathan Greening got a haircut.
Schteve was right all along it seems.
Actually, fuck it - let him take them up. Somebody suggested in another thread that it might not be a bad idea for Forest not to have to face Derby next season, and I'm starting to warm to that idea. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly not that I'm afraid of us losing to them; I love the big matches and there's nothing more thrilling than Forest taking on Derby. But from a businesslike point of view I'd much rather we concentrated solely on going up next year, totally clinically and without anything that might prove a destabilising distraction or present Psycho with any unneeded extra pressure. Let the sheepshaggers go up now, then let them stay up by the width of their underpants elastic next season and let's look forward to locking horns with them again in the top flight in 2015/16, and then twice every season in the Premier League for hopefully many years to come. Let this season and next be the last two seasons that Derby ever finish above us, and then let's all slug it out in the top flight (us, Derby and Leicester) for decade after glorious decade that put the East Midlands firmly back on the European football map.
It seemed like a nightmare when they went two divisions above in 07. But 16 months later we were playing each other again in the league and Derby had made history. If they go up, it is not impossible to image us replacing them in the PL in a year's time.
Wasted millions of our money learning Championship basics, and helped put an owner who'd invested 75m into a position where he felt forced to step down, just so that he could take our local rivals to their best finish in years.
Still loved more by some of our fans than the best manager we've had in 15 years
I'm beyond caring this season - Forest could certainly learn a few things from Derby with how they're set up, run and play football.
If they go up, it should be used as a motivation to help us kick on and improve significantly in the league. Why dwell on what the likes of Leicester and Derby have done, we are where we are for a reason - just like they are.
I like going to QPR and Brighton, good days out.
The DW is the only ground in the current Championship that I haven't been to. Would like another opportunity next season.
So, I wouldn't mind too much if Derby go up. It isn't a particularly good day out. I normally end up keeping a low profile while walking back to the city centre, surrounded by their supporters laughing at the misfortune of the rival supporters they refer to as inbreds.
I don't care how they get on next season if they are in the Prem. However, as Jerellis1 stated, it would be good to have all three major East Midlands clubs up there.

FileOpen Function
Opens a file for input or output.
The My feature gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than FileOpen. For more information, see My.Computer.FileSystem Object.
Public Sub FileOpen( _

ByVal FileName As String, _
ByVal Mode As OpenMode, _
Optional ByVal Access As OpenAccess = OpenAccess.Default, _
Optional ByVal Share As OpenShare = OpenShare.Default, _
Optional ByVal RecordLength As Integer = -1 _
Required. Any valid file number. Use the FreeFile function to obtain the next available file number.
Required. String expression that specifies a file name—may include directory or folder, and drive.
Required. Enumeration specifying the file mode: Append, Binary, Input, Output, or Random. (For more information, see OpenMode Enumeration.)
Optional. Enumeration specifying the operations permitted on the open file: Read, Write, or ReadWrite. Defaults to ReadWrite. (For more information, see OpenAccess Enumeration.)
Optional. Enumeration specifying the operations not permitted on the open file by other processes: Shared, Lock Read, Lock Write, and Lock Read Write. Defaults to Lock Read Write. (For more information, see OpenShare Enumeration.)
Optional. Number less than or equal to 32,767 (bytes). For files opened for random access, this value is the record length. For sequential files, this value is the number of characters buffered.
Exception type
Error number
Invalid Access, Share, or Mode.
WriteOnly file is opened for Input.
ReadOnly file is opened for Output.
ReadOnly file is opened for Append.
Record length is negative (and not equal to -1).
FileNumber is invalid (<-1 or >255), or FileNumber is already in use.
FileName is already open, or FileName is invalid.
See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.
The FileOpen function is provided for backward compatibility and may affect performance. For non-legacy applications, the My.Computer.FileSystem object provides better performance. For more information, see File Access with Visual Basic.
You must open a file before any I/O operation can be performed on it. FileOpen allocates a buffer for I/O to the file and determines the mode of access to use with the buffer.
|Security Note:
When writing to a file, an application may need to create a file, if the file to which it is trying to write does not exist. To do so, it needs permission for the directory in which the file is to be created. However, if the file specified by FileName does exist, the application needs Write permission only to the file itself. Wherever possible, to help improve security, create the file during deployment and grant Write permission to that file only, rather than to the entire directory. To help improve security, write data to user directories rather than to the root directory or the Program Files directory.
The channel to open can be found using the FreeFile() function.
|Security Note:
The FileOpen function requires Read access from the FileIOPermissionAccess enumeration, which may affect its execution in partial trust situations. For more information, see FileIOPermissionAccess enumeration and Requesting Permissions.
This example illustrates various uses of the FileOpen function to enable input and output to a file.
The following code opens the file TestFile in Input mode.
FileOpen(1, "TESTFILE", OpenMode.Input)
' Close before reopening in another mode.
This example opens the file in Binary mode for writing operations only.
FileOpen(1, "TESTFILE", OpenMode.Binary,OpenAccess.Write)
' Close before reopening in another mode.
The following example opens the file in Random mode. The file contains records of the structure Person.
Structure Person
<VBFixedString(30)> Dim Name As String
Dim ID As Integer
End Structure
Public Sub ExampleMethod()
' Count 30 for the string, plus 4 for the integer.
FileOpen(1, "TESTFILE", OpenMode.Random, , , 34)
' Close before reopening in another mode.
End Sub
This code example opens the file in Output mode; any process can read or write to file.

There are many things to consider when looking for a professional to transform your home. Depending on the project, some things are more important than others. But in every case, the single most important thing you'll need to consider is whether you'll choose the best price or the best value – they are rarely the same thing. Case in point is a homeowner that contacted me for a quote to install cement siding and replace the roof on their house.
I first met with this customer in September and offered our services as a roofer and siding installer. Hearing nothing back, I followed up in December to see if they had made a decision or if I could answer any more questions. At this time they said we did a great job of presenting ourselves, but they went with somebody else due to price. Although I was disappointed, I understand that this happens.
Cheaper isn't Better When Comparing Installers
Rather than chalk it up as a loss, I decided to take the opportunity to learn more about the competition. After learning who the homeowner hired to install their siding, I took a close look at the quality of work, cleanliness, and project management. The first thing I noticed was that the siding had been installed before the roof. I always prefer to do the roof first to avoid the risk of damaging brand new siding while tearing off the old roof. Doing the roof first also allows me to cut back the old siding and make sure all the flashing gets installed perfectly – which can't be done if the siding goes on first. It's possible that weather played a role in the other contractor's decision, but I'd still prefer to wait until the weather cooperates and do what's the best for the customer.
The siding the customer wanted was HardiePlank, which is a fiber-cement siding with very detailed installation instructions that have changed over time. This is why when we install this product, we print out the installation instructions the day we begin job to make sure there have been no changes and our customer's receive the warranty protection they deserve.
Very Important: Follow Product Installation instructions and Warranty Guidelines
Like most building products, HardiePlank's warranty specifically states that improper installation can void the warranty. Unfortunately, I found two such problems in the installation that could have been easily avoided. The most glaring is that the siding was installed right up to the roof line rather than providing the "two-inch minimum clearance between the roofing and the bottom edge of the siding" that is clearly called for in the HardiePlank installation instructions .The second thing I noticed was that the siding was sitting out completely exposed to the elements throughout the project. "Store flat and keep dry and covered prior to installation" – again this quote is from the HardiePlank installation instructions.
One more thing I noticed was a tremendous amount of "face nails, or nails where you can see them, in the siding. Although not specifically wrong, "blind nailing, or nailing under the overlap of previous piece, is the preferred method of installation for all HardiePlank lap siding products." This is again from the installation instructions. I guess I don't understand why, in a situation where it is not necessary, would they face nail that much? Yes, there are instances where it is necessary, but I can assure you this was not one of them. Lastly, I noticed that the siding was installed with a variety of "reveals," which is to say that the exposed portion of each piece of siding varied slightly. The obvious result of this is that the siding will look crooked, and this siding did.
Value Wins
So, did this customer get a better value? No they paid a lower price up front and received a service commensurate with the price they paid. Is saving a little money worth voiding the warranty protection of the product? Or having crooked siding? I just really hope that nothing goes wrong for this home owner because they may not have warranty protection when they need it.
In closing I guess the point of this is to recommend that you look for the value in the project and become educated so you can make the best choice. For more pointers visit our web site at www.bureshhomesolutions.com and click the Choosing a Contractor page.

Social Life in Britain from the Conquest to the Reformation
Social Life in Britain from the Conquest to the Reformation
Though this book is primarily intended to supply that background of social history which is necessary to a sympathetic comprehension of our own literature in the Middle Ages, it is hoped that it may appeal also to the general public; and that, in these extracts, our forefathers may be found speaking for themselves on all the main questions which interest intelligent people to-day.
A large proportion are translated (and many for the first time) from Latin or Old French. The rest are presented unmodernized (though sometimes, as the reader is warned, with some abridgment) in their medieval garb. To this end the compiler has made specially free use of such old translations as those of Trevisa, Lord Berners, and the Alphabet of Tales. Even where the episode was given more fully by a first-rate chronicler like Matthew Paris, it seemed preferable to reproduce it in Trevisa's naïve rendering of Higden's compilation; since here we have the actual English that Chaucer heard.
A very few of these illustrations have been chosen from other countries and from earlier or later dates. This, however, is only in cases where the thing described, though it happens to be recorded most clearly in such a foreign document, is also characteristic of medieval England, and could be inferred, though more laboriously, from genuine English sources. The story of Froissart's youth, for instance, may be applied without much modification to Chaucer and many others among our own youth at that day.

Marijuana arrests in Virginia hit their highest levels in at least 20 years in 2018, a climb that has sparked calls for overhauls and bucked trends in a number of other states that have moved toward decriminalizing the drug.
Nearly 29,000 arrests were made for marijuana offenses in Virginia last year, a number that has tripled since 1999, according to an annual crime report compiled by Virginia State Police.
Marijuana busts accounted for nearly 60% of drug arrests across Virginia and more than half of them were among people who were younger than 24, according to the data. The vast majority of cases involved simple possession of marijuana.
The forces driving the increase in enforcement are not well studied, but the spike has renewed calls to decriminalize marijuana by some lawmakers and Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, who generated headlines last month when he became the state's highest official to call for legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
"The numbers are staggering," Herring said. "An arrest and conviction like this stays with someone for the rest of their lives. More than half of those arrests were for young people. It limits housing, education and employment opportunities."
Herring also pointed to a 2017 study showing a racial disparity in marijuana enforcement in the state. The Virginia Crime Commission found that 46% of those arrested for a first offense for possession of marijuana between 2007 and 2016 were African Americans, who represent about 20% of Virginia's population.
Herring wants to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, pardon and expunge past convictions for marijuana possession and establish a framework to guide recreational use and sales of marijuana in the state.
Efforts to overhaul enforcement of marijuana laws have been repeatedly stymied by the state's Republican-controlled legislature in recent years.
Dana Schrad, executive director of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, said highlighting arrest figures does not tell the full story of how the state is handling marijuana cases.
"What you really need to know is how they pled or were they diverted," Schrad said. "An arrest alone doesn't mean that everyone went to jail. There is a myth that we are packing the jails with possession cases. The prison sentences are going to distributors."
Schrad said the increase in arrests could be in part an artifact of better reporting by police departments in recent years. Schrad said VACP is taking a wait-and-see approach.
Eleven states and the District of Columbia have legalized pot for recreational use, while others have lessened penalties for being caught with the drug. Virginia has taken steps on medical marijuana, granting permission for five producers to begin selling THC-infused products this year.
In Virginia, a first conviction for possessing marijuana is a misdemeanor that can result in up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Subsequent arrests can result in up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. A defendant's driver's license is also revoked for six months for a drug conviction.
The Virginia Crime Commission study found that only 31 people were in jail in July 2017 solely for a conviction of possessing marijuana in the state. The libertarian Cato Institute estimated Virginia spent $81 million on marijuana enforcement in 2016.

There's nothing cozier than a farmhouse Christmas. Here are 30 DIY projects to help you get that rustic Christmas look you've been dreaming about!

DIY Rustic Christmas Decor, Coming Right Up!
In my opinion, most of our non-life-threatening problems fall into one of two categories: not enough time or not enough money.
When I was still teaching and before I had kids, my problems centered around not having enough time. I taught high school English, and the amount of time it took planning, creating and grading (oh my word, the grading!) was dizzying. My nights and weekends were filled up with so many school-related tasks (So. Many. Tasks.).
Now that I'm home with my boys and not working, money is more of an issue. I have more time (well, sort of – I'm home more, if that's any distinction; chasing twin toddlers doesn't always equate to having more time), but not really the luxury of being able to spend how I used to.
Enter: the holidays.
It's been a whole new world getting used to reinventing our existence on one budget – and that includes how we celebrate Christmas. I never was a super-crafty, domestic, Martha-Stewart-type girl. I am definitely more the cerebral, Type A, book-smart girl. Being a mom and being at home has really forced me to flip my brain a bit and work a little more from the intuitive, creative side.
And that's how I'm approaching the holidays this year: lots of creative, homemade gifts, decorations, and ways to celebrate that are easy on the budget.
Rustic farmhouse decor is my latest obsession, so of course, that is the rabbit hole I jumped down on Pinterest while thinking about prepping for Christmas. Today I'm focusing on DIY decorating projects. If you love rustic farmhouse, these projects will be right up your alley! They are truly beautiful.
Save Time or Money? You Pick
However, maybe money isn't your issue – it's time. Who has time to make these?!? I feel ya, girl! That was me a few years ago! So, for you, I've included some similar look-alikes that you can just buy instead of make, if that suits you. I couldn't find a copycat for every single project – some are just that unique – but I was able to hunt several that, while not perfect matches necessarily, come pretty close. You'll see those links right below the tutorials for the DIY.
If you're looking for some inspiration for decor ideas and where some projects can fit in, or aren't quite sure where to start with your Christmas decor, check out this post for Farmhouse Christmas Decor Ideas and Inspirations! And make sure you look at these farmhouse Christmas porches for some outside decor ideas – these are the BEST on Instagram!
Also, special ways to display Christmas cards can also be some pretty easy (and cheap) Christmas decor, along with advent calendars. These multi-purpose projects can make the holidays a little more festive while adding to your holiday decor without a separate project!
And if you need more ideas for decorating your house on the cheap, in addition to DIY, here's how I decorate my house for Christmas on a tight, SAHM budget with little money to spend!
Fall might be just starting now, but, if we get going now, we just might get done in time. 🙂

With the Urban Self Reliance workshops in full swing, it's easy to pick up sewing skills at many Seattle Public Library branches during the month of October. For instance, SewUpSeattle leads a 'Costume Repair and Swap' at the Ballard branch Monday, October 29 at 5pm and Capitol Hill branch on Saturday, October 20 at 1:30pm. Bring a costume — or costume-worthy clothing — to remake, repair or simply trade in. It's a spook-tacular occasion to scare up a new Halloween costume.
As a tailor, sewing was a skill my mother had in spades. I never picked up more than just the basics. Not a problem—the library has a slew of books on sewing, creative stitching and other techniques, from simple and straightforward, to intricate and avant-garde. With Halloween just around the corner, solve your costume dilemma by digging into the library collection and joining SewUpSeattle's 'Costume Repair and Swap' for hands-on tips and ideas. Check the library events calendar for more details.
For more information on sewing and costumes, here are a few library offerings:
Skirts can be oh-so-flattering and fun to wear. But how to create your own unique skirt? Flirt Skirts starts with three basic types of skirt: the A-Line, Pencil and Flare. From there, authors Patti Gilstrap and Servyn Potter branch out into customizing and stylizing. They dish up 20 designs altogether, and include patterns and templates. They helpfully recommend which particular type skirts look best on different types of figures.
For the adventurous, Pattern Magic by Tomoko Nakamichi can be enchanting and challenging. Nakamichi spells out how the relationship between the flat pattern pieces and the three-dimensional structure of the garment actually never changes. Other concoctions in the book include how to build a flare concealed in a curve and how to make a basic jabot-style frill.
I Wanna Make My Own Clothes, with its inviting and colorful illustrations by Azadeh Houshyar, is delightfully inspiring. Kids with little or no sewing experience will be drawn to the easy-to-make projects, all of which require no sewing machine. Author Clea Hantman makes it clear that you need "imagination, a touch of patience, a small box of supplies… and tough thumbs." Sewing basics and supplies are covered, as well.
Pretty Little Pillows helps the needleworker conquer ho-hum pillows. Lark Books has compiled a variety of charming, colorful projects from 18 designers featuring unique takes on the standard decorative couch or bed pillow. Designers tackle many techniques, including applique, embroidery, trapunto and smocking.
Subversive Seamster shows you how to revamp icky, outdated thrift store apparel. This book has oodles of fun projects that use off-the-wall patterns, fabrics and colors. Transform a pair of old man pants into winsome cuffed shorts or turn a button down shirt into a plucky cowgirl shirt. Yee-haw! It includes chapters on sewing basics and how to sniff out the best stuff at the thrift store.
And for more options, be sure to check out the Urban Self-Reliance 2012 list of sewing, knitting and quilting books.

GoDaddy is best known for its Super Bowl commercials with scantily clad young women. That's unfortunate because this Scottsdale, Ariz., company is building a big internet business based on domain registration, website design and ecommerce integration.
This may sound very 1990s. It's not. It's much bigger. In fact, shares are a buy right now. Let me explain why.
GoDaddy began as Jomax Technologies way back in 1997 when Bob Parsons came out of retirement. Parsons was three years removed from selling a financial services company to Intuit for $64 million. He was looking for a new challenge.
In internet domain registration, Parsons saw the potential for an endless stream of income. He was right.
But it was the early days of the internet. Network Solutions, a company that was later sold to Verisign for $21 billion in stock, held a monopoly position in web registration.
After the formation of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in 1998, the industry changed. Network Solutions had to compete … and Parsons was ready. By 2005, GoDaddy became the largest ICANN registrar on the internet, according to WHTop, the leading webhosting directory.
Parsons no longer manages the day-to-day operations at GoDaddy, but the company is at an inflection point. So is the stock.
Today the company is the world's largest internet hosting platform. With 18.8 million customers and 78 million registered domain names, GoDaddy is the starting point for today's gig-economy entrepreneurs. Site visitors can easily register and set up a functional website in minutes for as little as $9 per month.
That's the opportunity. Small businesses are starting up and creating new jobs at the highest rate in 45 years, according to the National Federation of Independent Business.
GoDaddy announced in June a collaboration with Amazon.com to bring its WordPress site-management tools to AWS, the leading cloud computing platform.
WordPress has become a big deal for GoDaddy. The free, open-source platform became popular with bloggers a decade ago. But new tools today let users build mailing lists, host content and operate online stores.
And the company is working hard to improve the experience.
Scott Wagner, chief executive officer, explained how to analysts in May, following the first-quarter financial results. In Q1, GoDaddy launched support for digital downloads, allowing customers to sell music, books, art and other digital content.
This follows the revamping of GoCentral, an online dashboard that uses data science to help customers with marketing. In June, GoDaddy acquired CoBlocks, a software company that helps streamline WordPress website themes.
Plus, the business has carefully expanding into international markets like Asia.
The concept is simple. GoDaddy wants to make the add-on products it offers to domain registrars so sticky that customers never go anywhere else.
And there's plenty of evidence that it is succeeding in this mission.
Some Q1 highlights:GoDaddy's business model is a little like Amazon.com's flywheel. Customers come for the great prices and excellent product selection. They stay for the free add-ons like video, music and faster delivery. But at the end of the day, the story is about an endless stream of subscription renewals from happy customers.
And its outlook for the rest of the year is just as bright. The company expects 2019 sales to be in the range of $2.97 billion to $3 billion. That's a long way from those sexist Super Bowl ads.
Shares trade at 62x forward earnings and 4.6x sales. The market capitalization is $12.7 billion. Given the growth ahead, and steady stream of income, these metrics look reasonable.

Monarchies and dictatorships. Between the two lies arguably the vaguest
line between any two systems of governance. And by monarchies, I'm not counting the ceremonial
type, as that would make a boring video; I'm talking about the all powerful absolute type,
or at least those that have some autonomy. Dictatorships and absolute monarchies are
the two most easily confused ways of running a country for one reason, absolute power. As opposed to democracy, the entire power
of a nation is vested in one single person. Have you ever noticed that most dictators
have some connection to, or are actively involved in the military? This is hardly a coincidence. The majority of dictators became rulers of
their nations by military takeovers, and military support is vital. Lose the support of a few bureaucrats, tax
collectors, and regional leaders; you can take care of them. But lose control of the military, and your
reign is over. Do something the military disapproves of,
and you could be overthrown overnight. Exhibit A: Robert Mugabe. He may or may not be considered a dictator,
but he was nonetheless a powerful tyrant. This brings us to the first fundamental difference
between a dictatorship and a monarchy. Monarchies are usually inherited and descend
from a royal or noble lineage, called a house, while dictators typically acquire power through
force, or if an elected leader refuses to step down. But you, curious viewer, mention that the
North Korean Kim Dynasty and the Assads of Syria are dictatorships who have passed on
the position of head of state through multiple generations. This brings us to the second significant difference
between the two systems of governance. Monarchies usually refer to themselves as
well, the monarchy, while dictators refer to themselves as Leader, Chairman, President,
General, or some other title, but never dictator. Take for example Kim Jong-un. His official title is "Chairman of the Worker's
Party of Korea", but he is an infamous dictator, while the country he rules is officially named
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea. North Korea is neither democratic, nor belonging
to the people, nor a republic, and barely half Korean. I'm pretty sure that's a failing grade on
a vocabulary test. Now, for the third main difference. In 1815, nearly every European nation was
ruled by a monarch, while dictators were virtually nonexistent on a global scale. Fast-forward to 1950, and most of the European
monarchies from the early 19th century had been abolished, while dictatorships across
the world were flourishing, and about to get worse. This is because when monarchies are abolished,
they are usually followed by liberty. Dictatorships however, usually arise from
the instability of liberty. Take for example when Spain withdrew its presence
from Latin America, Latin America became liberated from the Spanish Royalists. After liberation, various individuals assumed
power through force, thus beginning the infamous era of Latin American dictatorships. There are however some instances where liberation
is bypassed altogether and a monarchy is overthrown by a dictator. You could sit there and listen to me nitpick
at the differences between the two for hours, but that is why YouTube gave each video a
comments section, so goodbye, for now.

No more sleepy days!
Thank you for the nose vents! My deviated septum was draining my energy and the nose tape doesn't work for me. I recommend these nose vents if you have a deviated septum.
It does help my morning problem when I sleep
I sleep so much better now
The mask, the cooling eye pads, and the nasal anti-snoring vents all completely rule! I sleep so much better now.
Definitely helps
I don't use the nose vents every night, but I am definitely accustomed to them and they help me sleep on nights when my nasal passages are not completely clear.
Provide wonderful oxygen intake
The nose vents are easy to get used to and obviously provide wonderful oxygen intake
Good product
Great!! Love using these. Not just for snoring but also helps me breathe through my nose while I sleep. I'm a nose breather and sleep with my mouth closed but have a deviated septum, making it hard to breathe. These anti snore vents are a game changer for me.

ARC Advisory Group
While it might be human nature to feel that the professional challenges each of us face every day are unique, when it comes to automation and asset lifecycle management, many common challenges span across both different companies and even widely different industries.
While business and production objectives may vary greatly from company to company and from industrial sector to industrial sector; nearly everyone needs to move projects from plan to startup as quickly as possible, using as few resources (and as little capital) as possible, and without missteps that require rework or cause delays. And all industrial companies must manage their production assets and associated automation assets effectively over the entire asset lifecycle.
As readers ofOffshore magazine already know all too well, this is particularly problematic in the asset-intensive upstream oil and gas industry, as many of those assets are now being located in increasingly remote, hostile, and/or deepwater locations around the globe.
One session at the recent ARC Advisory Group Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida, focused on the automation side of this equation. Here, senior automation specialists from the oil and gas and other industries shared their challenges (along with some recommended solutions for automation suppliers and users), with the session participants. While the production processes were very different, the automation-related challenges were amazingly similar.
New approaches needed
Automation technology suppliers have come a long way over the last several decades. But technology alone is not sufficient to address the multiple challenges that today's industrial organizations face. These challenges span both the project design/construction/commissioning phase for a new industrial facility (such as a fixed or floating offshore production platform or subsea production equipment); and the much longer operations and maintenance phase, in which ongoing improvements over the lifecycle of the facilities can play such a critical part in the businesses' success. For many upstream oil and gas and other industrial assets, this lifecycle can span decades. And, while it may just represent a small fraction of the overall project cost, automation plays a key role in operations and maintenance.
During the capital project phase of an oil or gas production asset (whether fixed, floating, subsea, or whatever), the challenge for the automation team is often simply to keep their needs off the critical path; without compromising the end results at startup and commissioning.
During the much longer (5-, 10-, 15-, 20-years or more) operations and maintenance phase of the industrial asset's lifecycle, the automation team must be able to modify, update, and improve the automation assets on almost a continuous basis; and do so at minimum cost, with minimum production interruptions, and often, with shrinking internal resources.
As we learned during the well-attended "Automation Challenge" session at the forum, this requires technology users and suppliers alike to apply whole new approaches.
In his forum presentation, Sandy Vasser, Facilities I&E Manager, ExxonMobil Development Co., used the phrase "it just happens" to indicate his team's goal for the automation portion in each of the more than 100 oil and gas projects now in various stages of planning and execution at ExxonMobil.
This is meant to convey the fact that it is too costly and too difficult to manage complex automation projects using the same approaches as in the past. Vasser called upon both his own resources and those of his technology suppliers to "step way back and look at whole new ways of doing things." He noted that "by default, projects are sequential in nature…and things are never ready at factory acceptance testing." He believes the industry needs to adopt "lean project execution," an approach which separates the physical system from the software. Toward this end, the technology suppliers have to think differently and deliver technology in a way that allows the team to eliminate, simplify, and/or automate steps in the overall execution of automation.
He listed the top 12 challenges:
- Eliminate, simplify, and or automate steps in the overall execution of automation
- Minimize customer engineering and reduce the total amount of engineering
- Shift the custom engineering to the software and rely on standard hardware components; progress hardware fabrication independent of software, design
- Virtualize the hardware and prove the software design against the virtualized system
- Prevent design recycle and hardware/software rework
- Eliminate unnecessary automation components and standardize the remaining components so all systems look alike across projects
- Eliminate or minimize the physical, data, and schedule dependencies with other disciplines
- Simplify the configuration of interfaces with third-party packages
- More easily accommodate changes, including late changes
- Mitigate the effects of hardware and software version changes
- Eliminate, simplify, and/or automate generation of required documentation
- Challenge traditional approaches.
As an example, Vasser highlighted how thinking differently about something as mundane as I/O led to smart, configurable I/O. This new technology allows the project team to continue the design and engineering well past the traditional point where decisions get cast in concrete. "Smart I/O eliminates marshaling and lets us move decisions even later…thus allowing for late binding…" This saves time on rework and execution. Smart I/O also saves costs on cabinets, since the company only has to purchase exactly what it actually needs.
Vasser also discussed using virtualization to reduce dependence on design and remove functional design deficiencies. "By virtualizing hardware, we're also less susceptible to technology churn."
He threw out a challenge to the technology suppliers in the audience to partner with technology users to come up with new and innovative solutions to the technology challenge. As he neared the conclusion of his presentation he commented that "we want our (automation) guys to become the unknown engineers, because…it just happens."
Cross-industry collaboration
Automation professionals across all industries are looking for many of the same things. They are not satisfied with the status quo, whether with their own work processes or with the complexities that current technology implementation requires.
Some of the implications will drive automation suppliers to adopt more open and uniform integration approaches as an industry, not just as a single supplier trying to solve a customer's project problems. And suppliers must acknowledge that when users talk about the need to simplify third-party integration, in some cases, they will be the third parties and it will be their own technology that will have to fit into some other supplier's architecture.
