There was a strange, almost gloomy vibe among many of the National Review cruise-goers last week. Yes, the cruise arrived shortly after Obama's announcement of the Iran deal, the Chattanooga shooting, and the Supreme Court decisions on Obamacare and gay marriage. A lot of folks on the right feel like they've been smacked around by political events.
From the way conservatives talk, one would never know that Republicans have 54 U.S. Senate seats, 246 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives (a majority that the party could easily hold for the next decade), 31 governors, and 68 out of 98 partisan state legislatures. Republicans control the governorship and both houses in 23 states; Democrats control only seven.
Abortions have dropped 12 percent nationwide since 2010 and are down in almost every state. The divorce rate declined significantly in the past generation and is staying down, while the marriage rate is up a bit. Slate concedes, "Most Americans have given up on achieving meaningful gun control in their lifetimes or in their grandchildren's lifetimes."
The president's plan for an executive-order amnesty is effectively blocked:
On February 16, 2015, Judge Andrew Hanen issued a temporary injunction blocking both programs from going into effect. Current DACA requirements and two-year terms were supposed to remain unchanged and DAPA has not been implemented.
On February 23, 2015, the Department of Justice (DOJ) asked Judge Hanen to lift his injunction while it appealed his ruling to the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. This request was denied. On May 26, 2015, the DOJ's appeal of Judge Hanen's injunction to the 5th Circuit was turned down, leaving the injunction in place.
Judge Hanen has required that the three-year work permits be returned by DACA applicants and two-year permits issued by the end of July, issuing another court order on July 7 requiring DHS Director Jeh Johnson and four other DHS officials appear at an August 19 hearing to confirm that this issue has been resolved or "be prepared to show why he or she should not be held in contempt of court . . .
As James of England observed over at Ricochet, total government spending, which includes federal, state, and local, is 34.63 percent of GDP — which sounds bad, until you realize that in 2010 it was 39.7 percent of GDP. In 1990, it was 34.84.
This year Wisconsin became the 25th Right-to-Work state. Public-sector unions did pick up some members in 2014, but they still represent just 35.7 percent of public sector works.
School choice has expanded dramatically in our lifetimes; now there are "21 voucher programs, 16 scholarship tax credit programs, one education savings account program, and two individual tuition tax credit of significant size" with "$1.2 billion in dedicated funding available for school voucher and scholarship tax credit programs nationwide in 2013-14."
And Now, for the Dark Side . . .
I've been away; I haven't heard from Ace in a while. I check his Twitter feed and see this:
An anti-collective coalition has disadvantages: 1, the coalition is based on a negative, opposition to collectivism.
1a. which means there is no real positive central politics, just an opposition to collectivism, and we don't all agree on all oppositions…
Collectivists are always going to be pretty good at collectivizing and collective action. They are, by nature, herders.
Meanwhile, the conservative movement resembles the evil Enterprise in Mirror, Mirror, where advancement is through assassination.
The conservative movement is literally reactionary in the sense that it is a counter-reaction to socialism and cultural Marxism.
It is reactionary in the sense that it is the socialists who have been busy bees since 1932 pushing America towards their model.
We have always reacted to that, saying: Stop it.
But they never stop, ever. And if you beat them at the ballot box, they just infest the judiciary.
Karl Marx on the critique of the state: "Its essential pathos is indignation, its essential work is denunciation."
"Criticism dealing with this content is criticism in a hand-to-hand fight, and in such a fight the point is… to strike him." — Marx
He laid it all out, and they followed his game-plan: You simply attack society at every moment, denouncing with indignation, until it falls.
Honestly, I think America is done. I think Obama did it. I hate to give him the credit, but he murdered America. He won.
On the plus side, you can look like a first world country for a while, living off past accumulated capital. Britain managed it for years.
They say socialism works, until you run out of other people's money. But if you're ruthless enough, you can extract an awful lot from them.
On the cruise, my colleague Charlie Cooke offered a perfectly clear and depressing summary of the young, low-information, progressive-by-default mindset. (I'm paraphrasing here; refer to his columns for his precise words.)
A significant number of young people now conclude, "The government will pay for and take care of all the big things in life — health care, college education, retirement income, day care. This will require higher taxes, but all of those taxes cover all the important things. I'll get to keep what's left over. That's my allowance."
Does that make you want to punch someone in the face?
First, even if you think that's a good idea and better than the liberty-minded free market we've had for most of our history . . . what makes you think the federal government is good at taking care of people? The VA scandal? How about the federal government's program for the disabled?
The nation's premier federal program that provides work for people who are severely disabled is mired in widespread corruption, financial fraud and violations of the law, numerous sources tell CNN. And instead of helping the severely disabled find work, the taxpayer-funded agency is at times allowing jobs to be taken away from the disabled, the sources say.
The government will legally require you to purchase health insurance, and then send you to a site that doesn't work to buy it.
More importantly, government is not our father and not our mother. To view the government as the grownups, in charge and handling all of the really important decisions, is to choose to live in a state of perpetual psychological adolescence (a topic on my mind a lot lately.)
No, We Can't 'Let It Burn' and Start Over
One other problem with conservative despair: It spreads the "let it burn" mentality.
Back in 2012, Drew M. summarized the philosophy well over at Ace's site:
The fact is, a conservative country doesn't "accidentally" elect Barack Obama twice. It doesn't continue to send Democrats to the Senate who voted for ObamaCare and force the GOP to run as the saviors of Medicare.
People want the ever expanding welfare state, they simply don't want to have to pay for it. They are happy to pretend they can "ask the rich to pay a little more" (it won't work) or to pile on debt for some generation to be born later to pay for it. What they are very clear about in their votes is…"don't you dare touch my "free" stuff".
One foundation of conservatism is to see the world as it is, imperfections and all, and not the way we wish it to be. Unless we can admit the reality of the country we are living in, Let It Burn makes no sense.
We've tried to save the country from the folly of expanding liberalism and the country said, "we don't want to be saved". Let It Burn just means letting them have what they want and rebuilding later.
After 2010 I had some hope that we might be able to turn this massive welfare state around. The full implementation of ObamaCare means that isn't going to happen. At least not absent a total collapse of our fiscal house of cards.
Let It Burn isn't an option, it's an eventuality. The questions are will we be complicit in it any longer and do we want to delay it? I say no. Let the liberals own it. Very few things are made better by delaying the day of inevitable reckoning.
The sooner it burns, the sooner we can try and rebuild.
I can't help but wonder how many of the "let it burn" advocates also like to fantasize about how they would survive a zombie apocalypse. The problem is, we have to live through all the burning. Our kids have to live through all the burning.
In 2013, John Hayward pointed out that the "let it burn" philosophy embraces a certain sadism, or at least callousness:
Is it really conservative or Republican "leadership" to let the American people suffer for years, until they finally rise up and demand reform?"Let it burn" is not easy advice to give to people trapped at the heart of a raging fire.
This is why I can't get behind the "to heck with all, let's just move to Belize" thinking of some deeply frustrated conservatives.
Even if you look forward to the collapse of the welfare state, there are other threats lurking in the world and endangering our future beyond unsustainable entitlement programs. If both right-thinking and Right-thinking Americans just gave up, how different would our future look than, say, Robert Ferrigno's Prayers for the Assassin series, or any other dystopian vision where the strong dominate the weak and liberty and individual rights are largely forgotten?
If we give up, just how long does that getaway home in Belize stay safe?

It's been about 15 years since I've been on Mt. Ogden. It's quite a peak, with a stupendous view, so I wonder what took me so long for a return visit.
|Mt. Ogden from the lower Snowbasin slopes
The morning weather at Snowbasin was better than it was over the Salt Lake Valley and central Wasatch where it was raining when I left. Nevertheless, there were some scattered showers, which made for some picturesque virga shafts.
My timing for summiting wasn't great as it was about as cloudy as it would be all day, but I have always liked being on narrow alpine ridges when there is a cool orographic cloud with the base right near the summit. It creates a cool scene with the clearer skies upwind.
The summit was socked in an frigid. 25ºF with winds gusting to 40 mph according to MesoWest. I had enough layers for my torso, but could have used a thicker pair of gloves.
As soon as I began to descend off the summit, the skies began to break up a bit. Here's a view looking southward along the Wasatch spine.
Next weekend is the last for summer gondola rides. They don't seem to be charging for the descent, but it's $14 for the up, not that I took advantage.

Jonny Wilkinson and Phil Vickery say that they would both welcome the appointment of Martin Johnson as England manager.
Wilkinson & Vickery were Johnson's team-mates in 2003 when England won the 2003 World Cup.
Wilkinson says that he is in no doubt that his former colleague would bring back the success of the Clive Woodward era.
"I'm sure Martin would be massively influential, as equally influential as when he was a player for sure," Wilkinson told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"He has the qualities of a player inherent in him which I know to be the qualities of a good coach in terms of knowledge.
"What's important in terms of a management style is that he has the right people with him, people who can work for him and can get his message, a winning one, across to the players.
"If he chooses to do the job it's important that his message carries on and he is able to influence what he wants, because if he can it'd be a good thing."
England captain Phil Vickery says he would also welcome Johnson's involvement, but only on the 38-year-old's own terms.
"I hope whatever Martin decides, it's on his terms and the role is something that he wants to do," Vickery told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"The unfortunate thing for me at the moment is that there is a lot of negativity around in the press.

Press TV footage is more eloquent than any word could ever be.
"Blood for oil" - this is how the American Daily Beast website referred to the operation ordered by Donald Trump, who sent two thousand soldiers and thirty Abrams tanks to Syria to protect the oil wells in the country's eastern Deir ez-Zor Governorate controlled by Kurdish militias.
Thus, Trump first brought a thousand soldiers from Syria to Iraq, then sent another two thousand to Deir ez-Zor to produce some 24,000 barrels of oil daily, which pales in comparison to the 2011 pre-war level of 350,000 barrels, a quite modest performance even back in those days. Neighboring Iraq produces 5-6 million barrels of black gold per day. With its oil reserves of 150 billion barrels, that country is an energy treasure trove, just like Iran possessing the second largest reserves in the world after Russia. But unfortunately for Europe, all of this is under an American embargo.
We will keep Syrian oil to prevent it from falling into the hands of ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), and give it to our companies, President Donald Trump said, once again announcing the elimination of Caliph al-Baghdadi.
At the same time, according to Russian Ministry of Defense data, Syrian oil was constantly extracted and sent in huge quantities by tankers from Syria under the protection of the US troops and private military establishments both before and after the defeat of ISIS. Production and processing of crude oil is carried out with the equipment supplied by major Western companies bypassing all the US sanctions, with export operations conducted by Sadcab, a company controlled by the same Americans. Pure and simple smuggling of oil, the earnings from which, according to Russian intelligence, may exceed 30 million dollars a month transferred directly to the American contractors' private accounts. And Langley should be well aware of that.
Thus, in violation of all the international laws, Washington clearly demonstrates its intention to prevent the construction of any pipeline that could reach Syria and the Mediterranean from Iran via Iraq, and this, among other things, is one of the true reasons behind the proxy war in Syria.
The American flag over the Syrian wells is yet another unambiguous signal by Washington to Europe, Russia and Turkey. The US wants to control the flow of energy resources and distribute economic and political power in the Middle Eastern countries, as well as in Russia and Turkey – the countries that have vigorously declaimed against the occupation of Syrian wells by America after the launch of the Turkish Stream carrying gas to Europe through the Balkans.
"A drop of oil is worth a drop of blood" – this is how Lord Curzon, who decided the fate of Iraqi oil wells in Mosul and Kirkuk at the end of the First World War, put it. It was the first betrayal of the Kurds, and it was measured in barrels of oil. But this time Moscow is not apparently going to stand by.

Tiffany Haddish is giving a major side eye to the critics who panned her new crime drama The Kitchen.
The film, directed by Andrea Berloff, is based on the DC/Vertigo comic series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle. It follows Haddish, Melissa McCarthy and Elizabeth Moss as wives of mobsters, who take over the family business after their husbands go to prison.
Although there were high hopes for the film and for Haddish, who was making her dramatic film debut after a series of successful comedies, critics gave the crime drama poor reviews: It only scored 21% on Rotten Tomatoes.
But Haddish isn't letting the negative reviews get to her down.
"This is how I be Looking at the People that don't have nice things to say," Haddish wrote, captioning a image of herself giving the side eye in the film.
"Then I go pray for them and ask God to do them like they doing me," she continued. "Let me break that down by saying I hope he puts them in my shoes and then change their heart."
She then added the hastags "#DontmesswithGodschild" and #Ihavetowriteitalloutforthepeoplethatdontgetthepicture."
In addition to the poor reviews, the film bought in a disappointing $5.5 million at the box office.
The Kitchen is still in theaters nationwide.

Did you know that an estimated 6 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm? Each year, about 27,000 people in the U.S. will suffer from a ruptured brain aneurysm. About 40% of those experiencing a ruptured brain aneurysm will die. Those that survive often face significant challenges, greatly impacting their lives and the lives of their families.
It's because of those statistics that The Brain Aneurysm Foundation celebrates September as National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. Throughout the nation, communities host events and fundraisers with a common cause: helping to raise public awareness and understanding of brain aneurysms.
A brain aneurysm is a weak bulging spot on the wall of a brain artery very much like a thin balloon or weak spot on an inner tube. Over time, the blood flow within the artery pounds against the thinned portion of the wall and aneurysms form silently from wear and tear on the arteries. As the artery wall becomes gradually thinner from the dilation, the blood flow causes the weakened wall to swell outward. This pressure may cause the aneurysm to rupture and allow blood to escape into the space around the brain. The ruptures, many of which occur without warning, can lead to brain damage, stroke, or death. However, if a brain aneurysm is diagnosed early with proper screening, it can be treated before it ruptures.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the nation's only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysms. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation hopes to improve these tragic statistics and save lives by funding vital research and increasing awareness.
On September 22, 2011, at the New York Athletic Club, The Brain Aneurysm will host its annual Symposium, awarding $160,000 in grants to eight individuals conducting scientific research directed at early detection, improved treatment modalities, and technological advances that will ultimately improve outcomes for patients with brain aneurysms.
The 2011 research grant recipients include:
- William J. Mack, M.D., Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
- Jinglu Ai, Ph.D, M.D., Research Associate, St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON.
- Tomoki Hashimoto, M.D. Associate Professor, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA.
- Koji Hosaka, Ph.D, Instructor, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
- William Ashley, Jr., Ph.D., M.D., MBA Assistant Professor, University of Texas at Houston, Houston, TX.
- David K. Kung, M.D., Resident, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA.
- L. Fernando Gonzalez, M.D., Assistant Professor, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA.
- Dharam Persaud, B.Sc., M.S.B.E., Ph.D., Student, Biomedical Engineering,
Florida International University, Miami, FL.
A number of additional events are planned through the United States during the September designed to raise awareness of brain aneurysms. For more information on local events and informational materials on awareness efforts, please visit http://www.bafound.org.

| 17.1°C Dublin
Those who get to Newmarket on Sunday with time to spare before the 1,000 Guineas card will have the considerable bonus of seeing the best horse on the planet go through his paces before racing.
After a minor injury last month that prompted an easy week or so behind the scenes, Frankel is now back in full work and his build-up to his first race as a four-year-old, the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Saturday fortnight, will include a return to the scene of one of his greatest triumphs.
The colt's workout will, presumably, be less explosive than the extraordinary blitz in last year's 2,000 Guineas that heralded his progress through the season's elite mile races.
But even a champion needs to stay sharp and such awaydays, a change from routine homework surroundings, serve as a reminder of what the job is about, particularly if conducted in the atmosphere of a race meeting.
"At the moment everything is going fine," reported trainer Henry Cecil yesterday, "and hopefully we'll get to the Lockinge."
Frankel will be one heck of an act to follow for those who will line up for the 2,000 Guineas on Saturday. After yesterday's forfeit stage, 22 are still in contention, including the supplemented Talwar, an easy winner on Lingfield's all-weather last month.
Camelot is a short-priced favourite to give Aidan O'Brien a sixth victory in the season's first Classic, backed up by Power and Furner's Green, with Born To Sea and Parish Hall also set to travel from Ireland.
From France, there are four, with Abtaal the most prominent in the betting. The home side's defence is perceived as being headed by Top Offer, yet to race this season, and the Craven Stakes winner Trumpet Major.
O'Brien also trains the market leader for the 1,000 Guineas; Maybe is one of 21 going forward to the final declaration. Again, there is one late entry (for £30,000): Moonstone Magic.
The prospect of easy going on the Rowley Mile was key in the decision -- the filly started her career with a maiden win only 18 days ago and followed up in a soft-ground trial at Newbury.
There was sunshine and a drying wind in Newmarket yesterday, though more rain is forecast. But waterlogged Ascot has cried off and tomorrow's Sagaro Stakes card has been transferred to Kempton's Polytrack.
Tomorrow's meeting at Southwell will have to pass a 7.0 inspection this morning if it is to go ahead. The Nottinghamshire venue is currently waterlogged in places after the recent wet spell, with water pumps aiding the drainage system.
Hereford are to stage a six-race chase card on Thursday after scrapping the hurdles and bumper events due to the wet weather, while Leicester will inspect at 8.0 this morning ahead of Thursday's Flat meeting. (© Independent News Service)

Big Ang: 'Mob Wives' Star's Cancer Returns — So Sad
Poor Big Ang. After being told she was cancer free just a couple of months ago, it seems the 'Mob Wives' star's cancer has returned. Get the heartbreaking details below.
Only two months after overcoming cancer, Big Ang, 55, is unfortunately going to have to deal with the disease once more. Doctors recently found that her cancer has returned, even after she went through intense treatment and underwent surgery. Despite the sad news, we hope to see her pull through this once more.
After Big Ang visited the doctor for a routine checkup in the second week of December, doctors had to break the news to Ang and her family that her cancer had come back, a source told TMZ. This time around, though, things could be even worse, as there are reportedly signs of cancer in different parts of her body. Although that definitely wasn't what Big Ang was expecting to hear, she immediately made a plan to soon return to the doctor so she can figure out the best way to handle the cancer this time.
Ang, whose full name is Angela Raiola, first had to deal with cancer in March of this year when doctors found a lemon-sized tumor after she went to the doctor for serious neck pain. Her sister, Janine Detore, revealed that the tumor was determined cancerous on April 3, along with sharing that Big Ang would be undergoing surgery the following week. Big Ang took to Facebook to tell fans that she was "peaceful" before her surgery and promised that she wouldn't be going anywhere as a result of the cancer, which she referred to as a "minor setback."
Months after Big Ang's doctors removed affected lump nodes from her throat, TMZ reports that she was cancer free in October. We can only imagine how difficult it was for her to hear that her cancer has come back, but we know she'll fight it as much as she can. Our thoughts are with Big Ang.
HollywoodLifers, send your thoughts and love to Big Ang as she deals with more cancer treatments during this difficult time.

Next week Queensland Members of Parliament are meeting for the first time since our summer of climate disasters.
Now is the best time to set the tone for the year and let our MPs know that we expect them to step up and deliver climate action.
Will you call your local MP and tell them you want them to speak up on the climate emergency?
Talking Points:
- To start, introduce yourself and let them know you which suburb you live in.
- Tell them why you want them to take action to cut pollution.
For example: I'm horrified by the bushfires, and the massive fish kills in our rivers.
- Let them know that the biggest threat to the Great Barrier Reef is the climate crisis heating our oceans. Insist that Queensland must do our bit.
- Ask them – can I count on my MP to raise the issue in parliament, and with their party leaders?

Course Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has left therapists feeling unsure about re-opening their doors and maintaining proper infection control in their practices. This is especially true for those therapists who specifically work in the specialty areas of feeding, oral motor and orofacial myofunctional therapies. While hospitals and schools often have OSHA infection control policies, private practices may not have the necessary guidance on what an infection control policy should include and/or how to implement it. Robyn and Pat have over 50 plus years combined experience in working in the mouths of patients, and Pat has been teaching infection control and OSHA standards in dentistry for 25 years. Together, they have joined forces to educate fellow clinicians on the importance of: 1) knowing the CDC and OSHA standards; 2) obtaining and using PPE (Personal Protective Equipment); 3) disinfection procedures for surfaces with EPA
approved solutions; 4) the differences between sterilization and disinfection and 5) implementing an infection control policy / training staff.
Learning Outcomes
- Participants will be able to define a competent based infection control program in their facility.
- Participants will be able to list 3 CDC guidelines for PPE.

Guar-borate crosslinked fluids have been successfully used in hydraulic fracturing operations for decades. These fluids are often preferred because of cost, ease of use, and robustness. Additionally, borate fluids are renowned for their ability to recover viscosity after exposure to high shear, a process commonly referred to as "rehealing." With the prevalence and reputation of these fluids, it is easy to become complacent and rely on the assumption of rehealability when pushing borate fluids to their operational limits. This is particularly true in the current climate of cost minimization. However, there are situations in which borate fluids might not reheal, or the rehealing process is significantly retarded. Because common assumptions about borate fluids cannot be assured in all situations, understanding the variables that affect performance is imperative.
This paper explores the properties of instant and delayed borate crosslinked fluids under different shear rates, shear histories, and a range of pH values. Various experiments were conducted to investigate the viscosity and the ability of viscosity to recover under different shear histories, temperatures, and pH values. This paper focuses on optimizing the fluid chemistry to provide the desired viscosities from the surface to deep within the fracture.
The work completed demonstrates how several borate fluid formulations can generate nearly identical viscosity profiles under a single shear rate, but vastly different profiles after exposure to high shear. If shear history is not considered in fluid design, some formulations could appear feasible during initial testing but fail to provide the desired viscosity in the near-wellbore (NWB) region during field operations. Assuming borates will simply reheal without consideration of pH and shear history on rehealing time could give rise to premature screenouts.
Borate crosslinked fluids are viewed as simple and forgiving. This is true to a point, but there are limitations that can be overlooked if the appropriate testing is not performed and formulations are stretched to their limits. The information presented in this paper demonstrates where assumptions about borate fluids' ability to reheal fail, while providing recommendations that can help ensure the desired viscosity is maintained throughout the treatment.
Polymer-based (gelled or in-situ gelled) and emulsified acids have been used for matrix acidization of carbonate reservoirs for several years. Gelled and emulsified acids are typically used for acidization of high-temperature carbonate reservoirs because of their lower reaction rate as compared with nongelled/emulsified acids, resulting in deeper penetration of acid, whereas in-situ gelled acid is used for acid diversion. Literature review indicates that several laboratory-scale experimental studies have been performed to analyze the effect of acid gelation and emulsion on carbonate acidization as compared with nongelled/emulsified acids. However, there are very few modeling or quantitative theoretical studies regarding carbonate acidization with gelled and emulsified acids that can be tested at laboratory or field scale. More specifically, a theoretical analysis of the effect of transport and rheological properties (i.e., shear-thinning behavior) of gelled and emulsified acids on the acidization process is not available in the literature. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to analyze the effect of transport and rheological properties of gelled and emulsified acids on carbonate acidization in three dimensions, which can help in terms of design of gelled- and emulsified-acid properties to achieve lower leakoff rate and deeper penetration of wormholes.
The authors present 3D numerical simulations of carbonate acidization with hydrochloric acid (HCl), gelled acid, and emulsified acid by use of a two-scale-continuum model. By use of this model, the effect of transport and rheological properties of these non-Newtonian acids on the acidization curve and dissolution pattern is analyzed and compared with the available laboratory-scale experimental data. It has been observed from the numerical simulations that a lower amount of acid is necessary to breakthrough, and thinner wormholes are formed for both gelled and emulsified acids compared with neat HCl. Additionally, acidization remains in the optimum dissolution regime for a large variation in terms of acid-injection rate for both gelled and emulsified acids compared with neat HCl. Finally, the authors develop a wormholing criterion for acids, the rheological behavior of which can be described by the power law. This criterion can be used to estimate the optimum injection rate for vuggy and nonvuggy carbonates.
Dynamic proppant suspension behavior of carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar (CMHPG) crosslinked with labile (reversible) and inert (irreversible) crosslinkers are quantified and compared in this work. In reversibly crosslinked CMHPG by borate, particle settling slows with increased imposed orthogonal shear rate and proppants remain suspended for long periods above a critical shear rate. On the contrary, in irreversible zirconium crosslinked CMHPG, particle settling is negligible at low shear rates, dramatically accelerating above a critical shear rate. Local flow field data was obtained to provide insight into the dramatically different particle settling behavior. It was observed that the slowing of particle settling with increased shear rate in borate crosslinked CMHPG originates from shear-induced gelation, which leads to significant increases to both viscosity and elastic stresses. For zirconium crosslinked CMHPG sheared at low shear rates, the local velocity profile is flat, indicating that the network remains intact with negligible flow in the bulk. Above the critical shear rate, the velocity profile becomes sloped, indicating breakup of the network. Therefore, reversibly crosslinked polymers suspend proppant better at high shear rates with an upper critical shear rate for proppant suspension, whereas irreversibly crosslinked polymers suspend proppant better at low shear rates with a lower critical shear rate for proppant suspension. These findings provide valuable guidance in terms of optimizing fracture fluid design to help maximize proppant transport into fractures.

Virgin America
In part 3 of the series, we examined the experiences Virgin America for pre-flight and at the airport. This part will conclude the series and will focus on the experience on board, Virgin America's fiscal year 2014 results and strategic opportunities for growth.
On Board Experience
Virgin America has two type of aircrafts in operations both manufactured by Airbus. On board, the major difference between the two are the number of seats installed. The smaller version A319 has 119 seats (8 First Class, 12 Main Cabin Select and 99 Main Cabin). The A320 has the same number of First Class and Main Cabin Select seats but have between 27 to 30 more Main Cabin seats.
On both types of the Airbus A319 and A320 aircrafts, Virgin America uses seats from Recaro with custom cushioning.
First Class features white leather seats in a 2-2 configuration with controls for recline and leg rest. Headrests are moveable and have flaps additional comfort.
Main Cabin Select and Main Cabin use a contrast black leather seat with a better sliding table design for the Main Cabin select option.
When these seats were introduced, they were considered the best for the market they operates. Main Cabin (economy) seats are still some of the most comfortable ones used currently. The First Class seat design has been eclipsed in 2014 by JetBlue with MINT and both American Airlines and United Airlines introduced lie flat seat products for transcontinental routes.
Inflight Entertainment System (IFE)
Virgin America features an inflight entertainment system (IFE) called Red(R) which features a good selection live tv, movies, music, tv shows, music and games. It was the first US domestic airlines to introduce a chat function on the IFE. All the entertainment options are free for First and Main Cabin Select passengers. Live TV is free for travellers in the Main Cabin and the options cost from US$2-8 each (Refer to this table for the exact fee schedule). This is consistent with the implementation on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.
Every seat has a USB and AC power ports for use. Wi-Fi is available on all flights and cost between US$4.95-34.95 for all passengers via Gogo.
Food Service
Since its introduction, Virgin America have been known and awarded for their food service. In First Class, meal options are changed seasonally and feature a tray service with a good sized portion of salad and main course. Desserts are brought out after the main course was completed. Additional food service is catered for longer flights (Refer to this link for the food offered currently by selecting First Class in the food section).
In Main Cabin Select will receive free food such as sandwich, protein options and breakfast items depending on the time of the flight. Main Cabin passengers will also have access to purchase these food items.
One interesting note is that all passengers can use their IFE to access and order food items. This was an industry first for an US based airline.
Virgin America was one of the first US airlines to have fleet wide mood lighting systems installed to ease jetlag. It continues to have some of the more entertaining safety videos in the industry.
Strategic Growth Opportunities
Virgin America was a pioneer when it opened for business in 2007. It's service quality and amenities on board still ranks one of the best in the industry. However, competitors are catching up in all areas in during ticket booking, at the airport and on board.
Here is a list of items Virgin America should consider to bring itself one step ahead while continue to provide good value to passengers:
1. Introduce a mobile application solution that will allow passengers to book, monitor and check in on flights. This is something at a hip social media conscious airline should have. An application also also increase agents' time for managing more complicated travel issues.
2. Expand its Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) and New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) markets to create a bigger network within the US and to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
3. Consider a link up with a hotel chain for cross promotions. This could bring a new set of passengers into the airline.
4. Instead of spending money on more dedicated clubs, consider expanding the gate area in selected cities with amenities such as USB/AC power ports and desks for passengers waiting for flights. Boarding gate screens can be upgraded to include more information such as weather, meal service information and a unique Virgin America catch phrase.
5. First class seats should be re-imagined by the airline's 10th anniversary to be more competitive with similar airlines.

Leo,Hi,built in 1950 this is a 2 story commercial building is located in Ronceverte WVBrick facade and cinder block construction The roof is a 40 x 60 low pitch flat roofI am in the process of getting an estimate for a new flat roof installation.This includes removing the roofing material and replacing some rot and water damageTo the roof underlayment along the roof's perimeter.The underlayment consists of tongue and groove 2×6 and I am guessingSome kind of ply or osb over that.The roof is supported by 4 massive 20 inch tall steel I beams15 feet apart each spanning 40 feet andresting on reinforced concrete columns imbedded in the outside walls.(This allows the second floor of the building to be an open 40 x 60 x 12 space with no supporting columns)Knee walls sit on top of each I-beamGradually diminishing in height to create the gentle slope of the flat roofThere is a crawl space between the ceiling and the roofon which sits fiberglass batting.I want to permanently remove the ceiling and the batting,and expose the roof structure and underlaymentSo that I can enjoy looking at these magnificent I-beams and also be able to monitor roof conditions from bellow. Questions:HOW MUCH INSULATION BOARD FOR THE RIGHT R VALUE?The contractor told me that if I remove the drywall and batting a 20 R value ISO boards insulation would be enough.I am concerned with potential condensation problems, and am thinking that maybe 30 R value insulation would be better?WHAT KIND OF MEMBRANE?The contractor likes the idea of a TPO membrane roofI was leaning towards installing 2 ply Mule-Hide Self-Adhering SBS membrane?WHAT ARE THE BASIC LAYERS NEEDED TO MAKE UP A LONG LASTING DRY FLAT ROOF?Either modified bitumen or TPOwood substrate, moisture barrier, insulation board, and 2 membranes?Thank you . for your considerationAlexis

Our building & construction project management service is quickly becoming highly sought after with our clients in Sheffield and around South Yorkshire who simply wish for an experienced professional to take control and run the project on their behalf.
It is an ideal solution for clients looking to save time, utilise our years of experience and look out for their best interest at all times, all for a low fee to get the whole job done.
We manage architectural projects of all shapes and sizes, ranging from more detailed commercial developments through to unique home improvements and renovations.
We find that a lot of clients view new building work as daunting and disruptive to their lives. With our building project management we help to minimize these concerns through applying an organised system which will ensure all the required processes and targets are achieved.
With these processes being controlled, it becomes simpler to manage a build and delivers the main objectives along with the goals of delivering your final build within the agreed programme and cost. We have witnessed many projects without project management and lack organisation means your build can easily over run and cause unwanted delays.
- Programme
- Cost
- Payment control
- Build quality
- Ensure required compliances
Our Building Project Management role starts once the project has achieved planning and building regulations approval form the relevant council party such as Sheffield or Doncaster. (Stages 5-7 of the RIBA Plan of Works) We are able start this role whether your planning / building regulation drawings were completed by ourselves or by another company.
Delivery of the agreed programme cost and quality to the agreed scope of works are vital to a successful project, we provide the following items which assists in achieving the objectives.
Construction Drawings
The builder has all the required construction information on the project. As well as supplying the technical drawings, we also include detailed schematic drawing showing light switches, lights, sockets, radiators etc. This helps avoid any guess work on the requirements at the pricing and the building stages.
This ensures you are priced for the exact work required; we will issue the builder with a schedule which describes the agreed scope of works. This will be a list outlining the required works from excavation through to final decoration and includes items such floor finishes, kitchen and bathroom fixtures. We find this schedule allows people to clearly highlight to the builder items they do not want priced as they can do the work themselves or know someone who can provide the works at a more competitive rate. This normally applies to final finished items such a decoration; floor finishes and kitchen supply / install.
To ensure the best price at the required quality. We issue the drawings and any further information to a minimum of 3 builders and make sure they have the same information. They will provide us with their tender prices we will review and report back to the client. The client then can make their own decision based on this information.
Contract Administration
To ensure that all the duties and obligations between the client and the builder have been legally recorded, we will complete a building contract which gives both parties legal protection if any of the items are not met throughout the project. We write the contract to include the final costed drawings, schedules, and the builder's quotation. The contract also covers a payment schedule, builder's insurance and agreement of working conditions whilst they are on site i.e. starting times, use of client's water, and other finer details. We host a pre-commencement meeting which includes signing of the contracts by both parties and an introduction to the project ensuring all parties understand their obligations under the contract. We currently use the industry standard JCT suite of contracts.
Site Inspections
To ensure the works on site are progressing as per the agreed programme and costs we visit the build each week and report progress back to the client. We use these inspections to ensure the quality and the build details are progressing as per the drawings. Every second week we host a meeting at site, and we invite the builder and client to attend which allows progress to be discussed and any issues which need resolving can be done. Following each site visit we produce a report on the project which includes checkpoints such as review against programme, report of build variations which may have cost implications and report on all statutory issues. Our site visits are arranged to ensure the builder has constant discussions with ourselves which ensures the works are built as per the signed-off drawings ensuring the client's expectations are met.
The complete building project management role is ensuring your property is handed back to you and is ready for use. To ensure the build is complete we coordinate the handover process checking all the statutory requirements have been fulfilled and signed-off, check receipt of all required test certificates, inspect the build to make sure it is as per the drawings and specifications and if not issue a snagging list which identify the items be rectified. As part of the contractual process we set up a defects period to follow the handover. This allows the final stage payment to the builder to be made 3 months after the build is complete (default 3 months in the JCT Home Owner Contract) and is not paid until all defects during this period are rectified and signed off.
Project Management can bring many benefits to your build which include saving you time, stress and money. We can achieve this as we bring to the project:
- Our expertise and experience
- Become a single point of contact for the build.
- Improve the efficiency of the project
- Ensure good communication throughout the project
- Control costs, programme and quality.
Our fee for project management is based upon time during the project but as guidance it is approximately 5% of the build cost.
Look at some of our recently completed projects.

Cost: £60k – £70k

New Moon in Libra 28/29 September 2019 – Balance in relationships
New Moon in Libra 28/29 September 2019 – Balance in relationships
September's New Moon falls at 05°20′ of the sign of Libra, on 29 September 2019 at 4:27 am, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). In other parts of the world, it falls on 28 September 2019 at 11:27 am in Los Angeles (PDT), 28 September 2019 at 2:27 pm in New York (EDT), and also on 28 September 2019 at 7:27 pm in London (BST).
New Moons are time to set a new intention for the new emotional cycle ahead. This New Moon is a time to set your intention around creating harmony and balance in one-to-one relationships, whether they be personal or business. This may include co-operating, negotiating, giving and receiving support, and/or generally finding ways of making a connection and being refined in our partnerships; including marriages and teams. Libra is the peacemaker, and as an Air sign, it objectively seeks to see the other person's point of view, weighing things up in order to create fairness and justice. It is also a good time to deal with any codependency issues as over-appeasement for another is unhealthy.
Mercury and Venus in Libra
Communication planet Mercury, and the planetary ruler of Libra, Venus, are also in Libra at the time of this New Moon. Express your thoughts in a diplomatic way to find equality. Venus rules love, money and values, so there could be a fresh start in any of these areas too.
New Moon inconjunct Uranus in Taurus
This New Moon could also see unexpected surprises and upsets in relationships as we attempt to find a middle ground by making adjustments and compromises, since Venus also co-rules Taurus. The boundary between freedom, space, liberation and closeness may give rise to frustrations.
Venus square Pluto
This tense aspect indicates power struggles, possessiveness and obsessiveness in not only relationships but regarding money and values as well.
Venus sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius
A brighter spot is the exact sextile (partile at 17 degrees) between the lesser and greater 'benefics' – Venus and Jupiter, both in their home signs , strengthening their expression. There could be an opportunity to expand our desires, or we may spend money on entertaining, travelling, and having fun generally.
People born on the day of this New Moon or 3 days either side could have a new beginning in their lives over the next 12 months. The Sun is in the sign of Libra from 23 September – 22 October each year.
Where does this New Moon fall in your chart:
1st house: A new self-image, such a new hairstyle, clothes, and beauty products.
2nd house: Managing physical resources by spending money on things that create more aesthetically pleasing surroundings. Weighing up what is of value to us.
3rd house: Weighing up our ideas, being more balanced and fair in the way we think, and being diplomatic in our communication patterns. Taking a short course, changes in neighbourhood and more short trips due to relationship commitments.
4th house: Home – beautifying the home environment, negotiations in family interactions, creating a more aesthetically pleasing space.
5th house: Valuing a new hobby, or you could take a risk and/or have fun with a new romantic partner.
6th house: New beginnings in day-to-day work and routines, harmonious relationships with colleagues. Health issues may be related to the kidneys.
7th house: A search for balance and peace in one-to-one relationships. The possibility of a new relationship with a person who values egalitarianism.
8th house: Connecting in relation to emotional intimacy. New issues and the search for equality and justice may also arise around the areas of death, inheritances, wills, taxes, and legal issues regarding joint property or other shared resources.
9th house: Making new plans to travel or move overseas for valued higher learning purposes (university, religion, philosophies).
10th house: Diplomatically networking for a new career and social position, new career move, improved public standing, planning your vocation.
11th house: New networks, new connections as part of a group or community, or in your friendships and social circle.
12th house: Commune and connect with your inner self. Start a peaceful meditation routine, study tarot or the metaphysical realm.
The next lunation is a Full Moon in Aries on 14 October 2019.

Columbia's New High School
Some say it's like going backwards. After picking a site that drew criticism, the school board lets taxpayers and parents have their say about six possible sites for a new high school.
The meeting was originally scheduled to take place at the Columbia Public Schools Administration Building and was moved about a block down the street to West Jr. High School, because this controversial issue is one that officials thought would attract a large crowd. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. and so begins the process of ranking the choices for the location of the new high school.
"Initially, when there were just two sites that had been presented to the school district, we thought that maybe we could do this in one meeting. Now it's clear that we'll have to have two, and it's conceivable even a third meeting," said Jim Ritter who is in charge of facilitating the meeting.
The date for the second meeting has not been announced yet, but that's when the committee will look at sewer and other infrastructure costs. If not covered in the second meeting, they will hold a third one, where the committee will present its rankings to the board.

Bahrain dictatorship charges opposition ex-MP with inciting terror
Press TV – October 5, 2013
Bahrain general prosecutor says senior opposition and ex-MP, Khalil Marzooq, has been referred to court on charges of "inciting terrorist crimes."
Abdulrahman al-Sayyed said in a statement on Saturday that Marzooq, a leading figure in the kingdom's main opposition group, al-Wefaq, would also face charges of "promoting acts that amount to terrorist crimes."
Marzooq was arrested on September 17. He served as deputy speaker in Bahrain's 40-member parliament before a walkout was staged in 2011 by 18 members of al-Wefaq in protest against the violent crackdown on anti-regime demonstrators.
The statement added that Marzooq was also accused of using his position in al-Wefaq to call for "crimes" that are regarded as "terror acts under the law."
The prosecutor also confronted Marzooq for his public speeches in which he supported an opposition group known as the Coalition Youth of February 14 Revolution.
On September 18, al-Wefaq, Bahrain's main opposition group, boycotted national reconciliation talks in protest against the detention of Marzooq.
Last Sunday, a court in the kingdom sentenced 50 Shias to up to 15 years in jail for forming the Coalition Youth of February 14 Revolution.
The Bahraini uprising began in mid-February 2011. Protesters initially called for political reform and a constitutional monarchy, a demand that later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores have been killed, many of them under torture while in custody, and thousands more detained since the popular uprising in the Persian Gulf kingdom.

Bahraini regime arrests over 200 protesters in July
Press TV – August 9, 2013
Bahrain's main opposition group al-Wefaq says more than 200 people including women and children were detained during the heavy-handed regime crackdown on protests in July.
The Bahraini opposition party recently revealed that at least 19 children and one woman were also among those arrested by the regime forces during the demonstrations last month.
According to al-Wefaq, over 170 people were also wounded due to the excessive force used by the Manama regime forces.
Meanwhile, Manama forces have raided some 650 homes over the past month, while 18 cases of brutal and inhumane tortures have also been reported.
On August 7, Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa banned protests in the capital, Manama, ahead of the August 14 celebrations of the country's independence from the United Kingdom.
The opposition is planning to hold a major protest on the same day. The Manama regime has warned that any protests would face the "force of the law."
Bahrain's loyalist-dominated parliament has also approved a bill banning all protests in Manama.
The Bahraini uprising began in mid-February 2011.
The Al Khalifa regime promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring states.
Scores of people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses.
The protesters say they will continue demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met.
