Israel launches airstrike in northern Gaza
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- The Israeli military launched an airstrike overnight on what it called a "weaponry storage facility" in northern Gaza, an Israel Defense Forces statement said Tuesday.
Ahead of the aerial attack, an IDF spokesperson said civilians were ordered to evacuate, if they were staying " in structures that are used by terrorist organizations for storing weaponry."
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Palestinian militant groups regularly launch rockets from northern Gaza into Israel. (Posted 2:50 a.m.)
Lott attempts comeback, seeks GOP whip post
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly four years after being forced to step down as Senate Republican leader after creating a firestorm with controversial remarks, Sen. Trent Lott is attempting a comeback by seeking the job of minority whip, the party's No. 2 position, in this week's leadership election.
"His name will be on the ballot. We are closing in on victory," Lott's spokeswoman Susan Irby said Monday.
A GOP senator who got a call from Lott last week told CNN that the Mississippi senator has been quietly rounding up votes for some time.
Lott -- who served as Senate majority whip before becoming majority leader in 1996 and was also House minority whip during the 1980s -- is competing for the job with Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. (Posted 11:25 p.m.)
San Francisco ends 2016 Olympic bid after stadium plans fall through
SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) -- Organizers of San Francisco's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics gave up on their quest Monday, saying they could no longer go forward after the 49ers NFL football franchise decided not to pursue construction of a new stadium in the city.
The decision leaves Chicago and Los Angeles remaining as the two possible U.S. candidates for the 2016 games.
Scott Givens, managing director of the San Francisco 2016 Bid Committee, said that since the announcement by the 49ers, "the question we have had to answer is, with the damage done to our perceived and real ability to deliver venue certainty, is it still possible to win the (U.S. Olympic Committee's) confidence?"
"After thoroughly examining all of our options for an Olympic stadium venue, the answer, sadly, is no," Givens said in a statement. (Posted 11:20 p.m.)
Giuliani forms presidential exploratory committee
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who won international acclaim for leading his city through the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, has taken the first step toward a possible 2008 White House bid by forming a presidential exploratory committee.
Giuliani filed paperwork last week with the New York Department of State to create the committee as a not-for-profit corporation, becoming the second Republican to take a formal step into the 2008 race. Rep. Duncan Hunter of California announced last month that he also planned to run.
In a CNN poll taken among registered Republican voters in late October to gauge the popularity of potential 2008 candidates, Giuliani led the GOP field with 29 percent, slightly ahead of Sen. John McCain of Arizona at 27 percent. And in another survey conducted last week for CNN by Opinion Research Corporation, Giuliani was viewed favorably by 60 percent of those surveyed, while just 18 percent had an unfavorable view.
However, the former mayor's moderate views on social issues, including abortion and gay rights, are likely to draw fire from religious conservatives, who will play an influential role in the 2008 nominating process. (Posted 6:34 p.m.)

Blair calls for 'whole Middle East strategy' to resolve Iraq war
LONDON (CNN) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday called on Iran and Syria to help end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the war in Iraq, which he said are fueling global terrorism, offering a choice between a "new partnership" and international isolation.
Blair said the same Islamic extremists who are driving the sectarian violence in Iraq are also spreading violence worldwide, and his "whole Middle East strategy" is aimed at resolving the conflicts that fuel their ideology.
"A major part of the answer to Iraq lies not in Iraq itself but outside it -- in the whole of the region where the same forces are at work; where the roots of this global terrorism are to be found; where the extremism flourishes, with a propaganda that may be, indeed is, totally false, but is nonetheless attractive to much of the Arab street," he said.
Blair said any suggestion that he was changing policy toward Iran and Syria would be "a fundamental misunderstanding," and he repeated that Iran must comply with international demands that it halt its development of nuclear technology.
He said Iran is resisting international pressure over its nuclear program by inflaming what he called "the pressure points in the region" -- Israel's conflicts with the Palestinians and Lebanon, where the Syrian- and Iranian-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah triggered a month-long war with Israel over the summer.(Posted 6:20 p.m.)
U.S. citizen facing execution in Iraq loses high court appeal
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Supreme Court denied an appeal Monday on behalf of a U.S. citizen facing execution in Iraq following his conviction in an alleged kidnapping plot.
The high court refused to get involved for now in the ongoing legal battle to prevent Mohammad Munaf's pending transfer from U.S. military custody to Iraqi authorities.
His lawyers say the case goes to the heart of a U.S. citizen's right to challenge his detention by the international military coalition led by the United States, and his ability to seek legal relief in federal courts.
The appeal for "temporary injunctive relief" went first to Chief Justice John Roberts. He referred it to the other eight members of the court, who turned down the appeal without comment. The appeal is also working its way through lower federal courts and may again reach the high court in coming days. --From CNN Supreme Court Producer Bill Mears (Posted 4:47 p.m.)
Feds settle lawsuit alleging HIV-related discrimination by Philadelphia
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Justice Department announced Monday that it has settled a lawsuit filed by a man against the city of Philadelphia for refusing to give him appropriate medical care after learning he was infected with the AIDS virus.
John Gill Smith filed the suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2001 alleging that emergency medical technicians responding to a call that he was suffering from chest pains refused to treat him properly after learning he had AIDS.
Smith's attorneys said the EMTs failed to take Smith's vital signs, perform an EKG or touch him, and refused to help him get into or out of the ambulance, said Ronda Goldfein, executive director of the AIDS Law Project in Philadelphia and one of Smith's attorneys.
Smith turned out to have been suffering a panic attack provoked by pain from a pulled chest muscle, Goldfein said in a telephone interview. But that doesn't absolve the city for the actions of its EMTs, she said. "You don't get a pass for bad behavior just because he didn't die."
Two years ago, the Justice Department joined in the lawsuit as a plaintiff. (Posted 4:03 p.m.)
Martinez to replace Mehlman as GOP chairman, sources say
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Florida Sen. Mel Martinez has agreed to take over the leadership of the Republican National Committee after the party's current chairman, Ken Mehlman, steps down, Republican sources said Monday.
Martinez, who served as housing secretary in Bush's first term, was elected to the Senate in 2004. He will retain that seat while also serving as the party's lead spokesman and playing a major role in fund-raising. Another party veteran will run RNC's operations on a day-to-day basis, three GOP sources told CNN.
GOP sources said Thursday that Mehlman would not seek a new term as chairman and would let the party pick a new leader at its January meeting. Those sources said Mehlman had made clear to close associates for some time he was likely to leave after last week's elections, and that there was no dissatisfaction with his performance in the congressional vote -- which saw the GOP lose control of both houses of Congress. --From CNN Chief National Correspondent John King (Posted 2:57 p.m.)
One of Bagram escapees captured by US forces in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- U.S. military sources now say that a senior al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan who escaped last year from Bagram prison has been captured.
Abu Nasir al-Qahtani was among six people arrested last Monday during a raid by coalition and Afghan forces in Khost province, the sources said. At the time, a coalition military press release described him only as a "known al Qaeda terrorist" and said that he was taken into custody along with Saudi and Pakistani nationals.
A coalition spokesman Monday night in Kabul would not confirm al-Qahtani's arrest. He said only that during the operation last week, grenades, military equipment, armor-piercing rounds and AK-47 assault rifles were found, as well as a camera containing surveillance video of nearby military installations
Al-Qahtani was one of four al Qaeda detainees who escaped from the high-security detention facility at the U.S. base in Bagram in July 2005. --By CNN's Henry Schuster in London (Posted 2:38 p.m.)
Bush says he's looking forward to Baker commission's Iraq report
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush said Monday he is "looking forward to interesting ideas" from an independent commission reviewing the U.S. war in Iraq, but repeated his insistence that any withdrawal of American troops must depend on conditions there.
Bush spent more than an hour with members of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel led by James Baker, a former secretary of state, and Lee Hamilton, a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The panel is expected to deliver recommendations for the future of the war sometime soon.
Bush said he had "a really good discussion" with the panel, and did not know what it would conclude. But he said the U.S. goal in Iraq remains "success -- a government which can sustain, govern and defend itself and will serve as an ally in this war on terror."
His remarks followed a renewed call by Sen. Carl Levin -- who is expected to become chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee following the Democratic takeover of Congress -- for a "phased redeployment" of U.S. troops as a way of spurring Iraqis to take political steps to end the ongoing war.

More bullet-riddled bodies found in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A police officer, three street vendors and a carpenter were among 46 people whose bullet-riddled bodies were found Monday in Iraq's capital, police said.
The discovery of the bodies -- many of which could not immediately be identified because of the extent of their wounds -- came in several neighborhoods in the city, and capped a day of increased violence, police said. (Posted 12:55 p.m.)
Body of kidnapped Turk identified
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- The body of a businessman from Turkey kidnapped in Iraq in July has been identified, a Turkish Embassy spokesman said Monday.
Yildirim Tek, a private contractor working on projects in Iraq, was kidnapped by gunmen on July 23, the spokesman said.
Turkish officials received word last week that Tek's family had identified him from pictures of bodies found along the road leading to Baghdad's airport about six weeks ago, the spokesman told CNN. (Posted 12:18 p.m.)
U.S. soldiers killed by car bomb
TIKRIT, Iraq (CNN) -- Two U.S. soldiers were killed Sunday when a suicide car bomb detonated near their vehicle as they were patrolling in Salaheddin province, the U.S. military said.
Two other soldiers were wounded in the blast and were transported to a coalition forces medical treatment facility, the military said.
The dead and injured were all members of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. Names are being withheld pending notification of relatives.
With the deaths, 2,849 U.S. military personnel have died in the Iraq war. Thirty-one military personnel have died in November, bringing total U.S. military deaths in Iraq during 2006 to 669. (Posted 10:09 a.m.)
Top U.S. military commander in Baghdad to 'reaffirm' commitment to success in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Gen. John Abizaid, head of the U.S. Central Command, made a surprise visit Monday to Baghdad to meet with Iraq Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and "reaffirm President Bush's commitment" to success in Iraq, the Iraqi government said.
Abizaid also told al-Maliki that the U.S. remains "keen" on helping rehabilitate Iraq's armed forces to take over security throughout the country, the Iraqi government said.
Abizaid and al-Maliki also discussed the effect of the neighboring countries on the security situation in Iraq, the iraqi government said.
A U.S. military spokesman confirmed the trip, but did not have specific details regarding his trip.
Abizaid is the third top U.S. official to visit Iraq since Oct. 30, when National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley made an unannounced visit. National Intelligence Director John Negroponte met with Iraqi officials on Nov. 3. -- CNN's Mohammed Tawfeeq contributed to this report. (Posted 9:05 a.m.)
Remaining Lebanese cabinet ministers approve Hariri tribunal
BEIRUT (CNN) -- What remains of Lebanon's cabinet approved an international tribunal Monday to investigate the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. But amid escalating political turmoil, it was unclear whether the cabinet's approval carried any weight.
In the last 48 hours, six pro-Syrian cabinet members resigned -- five members of the Islamic militant group Hezbollah and one Christian. Since the Lebanese constitution demands that all sects be represented, the cabinet without these members may not represent a full governmental decision.
Still, the remaining 18 members agreed to the tribunal -- enough for a two-thirds majority that the constitution says is necessary for the government to act.
The anti-Syrian legislators -- who supported the push to eject Syrian troops and intelligence forces last year -- are accusing the pro-Syrian elements of a deliberate effort to thwart an investigation to Hariri's death. (Posted 8:25 a.m.)
Educator says he would accept job as technocrat leading new Palestinian government if he is asked
GAZA CITY, Gaza (CNN) -- Dr. Mohammed Shabir, a Palestinian educator, told CNN Monday if he is offered the job as the technocrat head of a new Palestinian government, he will accept it.
Shabir, 60, former president of the Islamic University in Gaza, is the apparent choice of both Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party and the Hamas party which has the majority in the Palestinian legislature.
Shabir, contacted Monday, said he had not been officially offered the job but would accept the post if Abbas calls.
The Palestinians are trying to come up with a government acceptable to Western powers so that the Palestinian Authority can once again get Western aid.
Both the United States and the European Union cut off funds to the PA after the surprise election win in January that gave Hamas, which is opposed to the existence of Israel, control of the Palestinian government.
As a result, the PA has been unable to pay its government workers and security staffs. The ripple effect is that the economy in the Palestinian territories has collapsed.
Shabir has said he is an independent, not a member of Fatah or Hamas. --From CNN Correspondent Ben Wedeman (Posted 7:51 a.m.)
Suicide bomber kills 10 people on bus
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- A suicide bomber wearing an explosives belt blew himself up inside a bus in northeastern Baghdad Monday, killing 10 people and wounding 17, Baghdad emergency police said.

South African train accident kills at least 27
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (CNN) -- At least 27 agricultural workers died early Monday when a train slammed into a farm truck at a rail crossing east of Cape Town, a paramedics spokesman said. Seven others received serious to critical injuries in the accident.
According to Michael Ludick, the Western Cape-area manager for Netcare 911 paramedics, the train hit the farm truck around 7:30 a.m. in Elsiesrivier.
He said all of the casualties involved laborers riding in the back of the truck. There were no injuries aboard the train. (Posted 4:30 a.m.)
Sixth cabinet minister resigns in Lebanon

Calif. man arrested in white powder probe
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Federal agents have arrested a California man suspected of sending threatening letters containing white powder to celebrities and politicians, including talk-show host David Letterman and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, the FBI announced Sunday.
Chad Conrad Castagana, 39, of Woodland Hills, Calif., is expected to make an initial appearance before a federal magistrate on Monday, the bureau said. Investigators said he mailed a series of letters that contained threats and a white powder, determined to have been harmless, to numerous high-profile figures.
A suspicious white powder also turned up at the New York office of former President Bill Clinton in late October, the Secret Service said. Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman in Los Angeles, said she had no indication that Castagana was behind that incident -- but she added, "It's under investigation what additional letters may have been sent."

Tens of thousands of people get sick. More than 2,900 die. Fear spreads faster than the virus. Factories are closed. Roads are blocked. Villages are sealed off. Cities are locked down. The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is the most severe sociopolitical crisis Chinese leaders have grappled with since the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. And the crisis is not confined to China. The spread of the virus across borders—and the panicky reaction to that spread—will have profound effects on the global economy, politics, security, and governance.
The virus's novelty leaves many unknowns. We still don't have a clear idea of its transmissibility and virulence. We do not have a clear idea of the incubation period, which could last up to 24 days. We also don't know how infectious people are before their symptoms manifest and why some cases suddenly become severe. We also don't understand why some

Have you noticed that when you're clear about what you want and why you want it, you feel good? And have you noticed that when you feel good, things tend to go your way? A clear intention helps us filter out noise and allow clarity to emerge. That clarity narrows our focus and aligns our energy. And focused energy has the power to attract everything you need to make your desire happen!
Be proactive about creating a truly happy holiday season.
Take the time right now to clearly identify what you want most, why you want it, and for whom. Post pictures and phrases of your "ideal" intentions on a vision board (real or virtual). You've done it correctly if you feel happy whenever you look at. View your board often, and practice that feeling; it's magnetic! Strange as it sounds, feeling good can be difficult during the holiday season. The pace is fast and crowds are large. Memories get stirred up. Expectations are high. You may not even know how you're feeling until you suddenly feel sad or exhausted. Consider being proactive right now!
Here are 5 tips to ensure your holidays are happy:
1. Write down what you want most for each holiday, why you want that, and also for whom you want that. The action of writing down those elements not only helps you clarify your focus, but also cements them in your mind. Rather than operate on auto-pilot, It forces you to consciously pre-pave your actions AND consider others in the process!
2. Pay attention to how you feel. If you're feeling good, savor the moment! If you're feeling bad, recognize that you are focused on something you do not want. Stop, and remind yourself that you want to feel good. (Above all, DO NOT continue to focus on what makes you feel bad…that will never help you feel better!) Next, look for something positive to feel good about. Search until you find something, even if it's only in your imagination or your memory bank. Continue to build on those positive thoughts until you begin to feel better. If you don't feel better in 60 seconds, shift your focus entirely by engaging in a productive activity!
3. Practice feeling good. Choose only positive self-talk! Catch yourself if you find yourself using negative self-talk. Reach for the best "feeling" thoughts you can locate. Notice the shift in how you feel. Challenge yourself to find something positive no matter what your circumstances are at the moment. And if you get annoyed with others, take a deep breath and remember today's QUOTE TO REMEMBER (below).
4. Visualize positive outcomes. Imagine yourself handling holiday events with grace and happiness. Visualize things working out perfectly and you getting exactly what you set forth in your intention.
5. Reframe any obstacles. Have you noticed that when you put a picture in a different frame, it changes the whole look of that picture? "Reframing" simply means to change your perspective, or "put a different frame" around what you are seeing. When obstacles arise, stop and look at the situation from a different perspective. Search until you find a perspective that helps you feel better. Examples: Traffic jams can be viewed as gifts of time.
Take charge of your holiday season and see how happy you can be!
He who judges others has a long way to go on his journey.(Note: "judges" can be substituted for "blames")
He who judges himself is halfway there.
He who judges no one has arrived.

Sun Mar 1 2009: Last day in New Zealand
We've poured the contents of the sidecases and topboxes on our bikes into the suitcases we've kept at Eliza's Manor. Fridge magnets, postcards, bits and pieces of jade jewelry and the odd t-shirts are about the only things that we can collect on the road without overloading the luggage, so the packing is relatively easy.
I type out my last thoughts of our travelog as Neda prepares for a walk through downtown Christchurch in the brilliant sunshine. Yes, you heard right. Our final day here and it decides to beat down hot summer weather, to tune of 27C! ARGHHHH! How frustrating. Anyway, here are some pictures of Christchurch in proper New Zealand summer weather.
Despite the constant rain, it's been a very enjoyable vacation, but not quite the adventure we were hoping it would be. The south island of New Zealand is such a small place with limited options for road travel that there are only really two ways to move around the island - clockwise or counter-clockwise. You end up seeing the same travelers at each tourist trap, making you feel like you're moving in an assembly line inside a tourism factory. It's then that you start to realize that every traveler is having the same experiences that you have, with very little variation.
The point was hit home when I bumped into a couple outside Eliza's Manor. They had rented a BMW R1150 and were just about to start their two-week motorcycle vacation around the south island. I looked at their itinerary and it was exactly the same as ours!
New Zealand does offer some amazing biodiversity in such a compact area. In a matter of days (sometimes hours) you can see beaches, fiords, glaciers, rainforests and all sorts of rare and endangered species, but the culture here is very westernized which surprised us. After spending 18 hours in a plane you would like to meet different kinds of people and taste different sorts of food. In the end, the roads do not disappoint and it was such a great motorcycle trip for us.
But don't let anyone tell you different though - it rains ALL THE TIME IN NEW ZEALAND!!!! :)
Thanks for experiencing the trip with us, we hope you can join us again for our future travels on two wheels!

I'll admit it, I have a particular soft spot for personal narratives, especially when they involve women's perspectives on Islam. It's just something that I find incredibly fascinating. Being a convert myself, I didn't grow up in the community, nor is my family Muslim, so it's kind of like I can live vicariously through the author (and learn more about my faith in the process).
I loved this book. It had so much information, and so much care was taken in making that information accessible to the reader in ways that they could understand, that it was actually kind of a pleasure to read. Even though it was about deep social issues and basically indicted our society for failing boys as a whole gender.

First kit and I feel like I'm starting with the biggest setup I can own. Picked up from astrobuysell.com for £125 including a 40mm and 25mm Celestron E-Lux. Finder scope will be replaced with right angle. It has a Telrad mount (as I found out by accident) and I've alreadyt found cheap one on FB so should have that soon.
Next pieces to get will be WA 6mm and 15mm.
There's a small mark on the main mirror, but it doesn't seem to affect the view, and at that price I can't complain. The base also needed some attention. Vertical movement is smooth, but horizontal rotation was hindered by the bottom board being slightly bent, and rubbing the corners against the telescope base. I have added some washers between the teflon pads and it's much better. Not buttery-smooth, but I feel like that would make it too sensitive to movement, In the current condition it lets me track Jupiter easily. I guess the real test will be when I get the 6mm piece
Collimating laser is also coming to make sure the mirrors are aligned after haling it home for 40 miles.
Other than that it doesn't seem like it needs any serious work, so for a 20-30 year old telescope this is amazing.

Hi all
I purchased a skywatcher 200p dobsonion from first light optics a few weeks back. During assembly I found that the package containing side handle and the tension control handle is missing. I have contacted the first light optics but they are not sure when and how they are going to make it available for me.
Does anyone of you have these to spare??

While doing darks, i realized one of the darks was a bright white. i was rummaging behind my newtonian w/ my headlamp on. Looks like light can pass thru the gap around the mirror?! What is the best way to avoid that?!
Best, U.
By FranTeryda
Hi! I really want to get into watching the night sky. After a looking at the scopes that are available in my country, I chose to buy a SW Explorer 200P (haven't yet) and build a homemade dobsonian base.
I really like the aesthetics of the Orion Sky-quest dobsonian bases, so I draw a really similar design to fit the SW scope I want to buy. But while drawing it, I had tons of questions and I hope you can help me.
First of all, I just could get some aproximate measures of the parts of the scope out of the internet. If any of you has one of these SW reflectors, I would really appreciate if you can take some measurements for me to make the design more precise. Specially I really need the thickness and size of the holes of the rings.
About the bearing surfaces, I can't get anywhere the Teflon pads you usually use. What can I use to replace them? Also, what about the radius of the altitude bearings, Is it important?
Finally, which should be the height of a dobsonian mount? I don't want to be bent over to be able to see comfortably, nor I want it to be too tall. Is it supposed to be used on a stool or something?
I will really appreciate any other tip you can give me. I have never had a telescope, neither have I seen a dob mount. So I can be making a big mistake trying to convert this OTA to use with a dobsonian mount.
Anyway thank you very much. Cheers from Argentina
Almost forgot to add some pics of the 3D design I made!

Things To Consider When Buying On Waterfront
In storms or sunshine, fresh water or coastal, relaxing inside or enjoying the breeze rippling in off the water on a dock, there is nothing that can match the feeling of a home on the waterfront. Whether it's your retirement dream, vacation spot, or your primary residence, there are a few caveats that can come with the purchase of waterfront property, but they're worth working through. Here's what you need to know before settling on the shoreline.
Water Not Included
By law, bodies of water are not considered a part of private property in Canada. Your ownership rests between the upland and aquatic land at the normal high water mark, or the high tide mark in coastal locations. Of course, this barrier line can vary year to year, so if you're after a sprawling home on a craggy, mountainous shoreline, it's best to bring in a surveyor to access the perimeter prior to purchase.
To Dock, or Not to Dock
Looking to dock your sailboat next to your modern waterfront property? If you'd like to set up a dock for boating or relaxing, make sure to follow protocols. Materials, building method, and size are all subject to approvals from provincial or federal agencies.
Review guidelines from your province's Ministry of Natural Resources and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and familiarize yourself with changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act(regulated by Transport Canada) to start. You'll also want to look over zoning bylaws (which will vary by municipality) to better understand dock size and coverage potential. In some cases, you may only be able to upkeep an existing structure instead of building a new one.
Shelter From the Storm
From the Great Lakes to the shores of the Pacific and the Atlantic, storms can be frequent and amplified by tidal patterns and concurrent weather. Some places in Canada are famous for their storm watching. Residents of Tofino and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island, B.C. and other stormy areas can appreciate the wild wind and waves from the shelter of their getaway.
The weather may influence your choice of building materials, placement of a new home (high tide is a big factor here), or whether you develop a basement. Consider adding storm-proofing essentials such as storm shutters, and stainless steel locks and finishings to fight corrosion from salt air.
Upkeep Considerations
While some of the dryer areas of the country may be incorporating humidifiers into their new builds or renos, excessive moisture from large bodies of water can take its toll on even the most structurally sound estates. Consider your maintenance and groundwork load and speak to neighbours about the effects of annual weather or salt water.
All Are Welcome
Natural waterways through your grounds or near the property may be considered public property. Shorelines may also be considered public land by the government, so in some cases fencing and certain builds are not allowed. If you love the idea of chatting with fellow kayakers, fishers, hikers, or neighbours as they pass by your property, then living along a public shoreline is no sacrifice. But if you'd prefer absolute seclusion, perhaps a home with a water view is a better fit for you than one right on the waterfront.
Waterfront property owners know the serenity that comes from sunsets reflected over lakes, spotting sea life in the distance, or just listening to the sounds of nature is well worth the due process to realize the dream.

Keynote Speaker:
Alan Liu (University of California, Santa Barbara)
"Digital Humanities and Critical Infrastructure Studies"
In an era when complexly "smart" and hybrid material-virtual infrastructures ranging from the micro to the macro scale seem to obviate older distinctions between material base and cultural superstructure, how can the digital humanities join in an emergent "critical infrastructure studies"? What are the traditions of such studies? What is the topic's scope? What are some especially high-value areas for intervention by digital humanists and new media scholars/artists? And how can digital scholars in the humanities collaborate with digital social scientists taking up similar matters? In this talk, Alan Liu considers the hypothesis that today's "cultural studies" is a mode of critical infrastructure studies.
Alan Liu is Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has published books titled Wordsworth: The Sense of History (1989); The Laws of Cool: Knowledge Work and the Culture of Information (2004); and Local Transcendence: Essays on Postmodern Historicism and the Database (2008). Recent essays include "Hacking the Voice of the Shuttle: The Growth and Death of a Boundary Object" (2016), "Is Digital Humanities a Field?—An Answer from the Point of View of Language"(2016), "N + 1: A Plea for Cross-Domain Data in the Digital Humanities" (2016), "The Big Bang of Online Reading" (2014), "The Meaning of the Digital Humanities" (2013), and "Where is Cultural Criticism in the Digital Humanities?" (2012). Liu started the Voice of the Shuttle web site for humanities research in 1994. Projects he has directed include the University of California Transliteracies Project on online reading and the RoSE (Research-oriented Social Environment) software project. Liu is founder and co-leader of the 4Humanities.org advocacy initiative. Currently he is leading the 4Humanities.org big-data, topic-modeling project titled "WhatEvery1Says" on public discourse about the humanities.
Special Guest:
Perry Collins, NEH Office of Digital Humanities

text: Tax law might be the most confusing part of the overall real estate process to the average person. No one wants to pay more in taxes than they're supposed to, but you also want to pay the right amount of taxes so you don't violate federal internal revenue code. When it comes to real estate investments, few situations are more fraught with potential misunderstanding than transactions with international persons who aren't familiar with the intricacies of U.S. real estate transactions and tax law. The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act was designed to solve this exact scenario. Known as FIRPTA, this legislation ensures that foreign persons conducting real estate business pay the necessary taxes when selling property. The purpose is to hold all parties accountable to the same laws that govern domestic real estate. The logic is simple: if the property is in the United States, then taxes on that property must be paid, even if the seller is not a resident of the country.

That Day Did you get caught out by anything today? I teetered on the edge during The Observer's Tony Blair treading the boards piece until about the second paragraph which says a lot about my mental state right now. I've always loved April Fools, although there does seem to be a regimentation to it, especially online, where ultimately it ends up being Google announcing some new product or two companies least likely to merging.
About the only time I successfully ran with an April Fool was at school when I cruelly managed to convince someone who was then a fellow Star Trek fan that all of The Next Generation sets had been burnt to the ground -- he was the kind of man who would start throwing off contingency ideas, his best being 'They could run a set of episodes set in the past whilst they get the bridge at least rebuilt', but secretly I could tell he was crushed. So I had to tell him - and he punched me in my BCG scar.
My favourite example is still probably the Harmony Cousins interview in The Guardian, which I managed to perpetuate and puzzle a few Americans with on Metafilter. As I later mentioned here, it seemed to perfectly capture exactly the kind of profile interviews that the paper published then and still does. There's only a hairs breath and a sheen of fact between that and this piece from Friday about Jennifer Lopez. The point being made was that in the end most of the people who appear in these things have had roughly the same lives except in a slightly different order.
Which sort of makes you wonder who the joke was on...

On Saturday, James McCourt sent supporters at the University Of Illinois' Memorial Stadium into raptures.
The 21-year-old kicked a 39-yard field goal which saw his Fighting Illini side defeat Wisconsin Badgers.
There is more interest to this story beyond it being the biggest upset of the college football season thus far: McCourt was born in Ireland. He and his family moved to the US in 2006.
"I grew up in Dartry Park in Dublin 6," he told the Irish media during a conference call on Wednesday.
I went to school in Ranelagh. I was there for four years up to second class.
I played rugby for Lansdowne and for Belvedere. I fell in love with rugby. I'm cousins with Garry Ringrose.
I moved over to South Florida, to Parkland, when I was eight. I came over because of my Dad's work.
Having played rugby and soccer growing up, McCourt was more accustomed to kicking a ball than other kids his age. In middle school, he started playing tackle football and the team needed a kicker.
"I got a bit of coaching here and there," he explained, "the University of Illinois, they called me in my senior year and asked me if I wanted to come here and play for them. It was pretty unreal at the start."
James McCourt meets Dublin Lord Mayor Paul McAuliffee in Illinois at the announcement of the 2021 Aer Lingus College Football Classic fixture featuring Illinois and Nebraska at the Aviva Stadium
McCourt joined Illinois in 2016 and became their starting kicker this season after waiting in line behind current LA Chargers player Chase McLaughlin. Even before Saturday, McCourt had impressed with his boot. He landed a 57-yard, school record-equalling field goal last month.
"It was bonkers, it was nuts, it was definitely a scene," he said of the celebrations which erupted after his kick at the weekend.
"There was a dog pile in the middle of the field and I actually passed out underneath at the bottom with all the weight on top of me.
"I lost my breath and my eyes rolled back in my head for a minute. It took me a little while to actually realise myself what actually happened. I got lifted up and saw a bunch of insanely happy people who deserved this win.
"I've played that kick in my head a thousand times over. I do a lot of visualisation. It's something we work towards in practice all the time.
"All eyes are you and you could be the hero or the villain. You wouldn't be kicking at a high level if you didn't like the pressure."
McCourt said that he and Garry Ringrose are regularly in contact. The Ireland centre sent his congrats following Illinois' win on Saturday. McCourt added that he has not yet touched on Ireland's World Cup disappointment with his cousin.
Illinois are scheduled to play Nebraska in Dublin for the 2021 Aer Lingus College Football Classic. However, it's likely that McCourt will be finished with college football by then, perhaps having taken the next step in the sport.
"Obviously the NFL is something I do work for and I strive for," he said, "that's the dream of everyone, and if the opportunity presents itself I'm definitely going to put everything I can towards that."

Royce Hotel, Melbourne
Because they've been away working in South Australia for the last little while, I had done all my correspondence with Eloise and Leon over the phone and by email, so it was great to meet them in person on the day.
I think it's fair to say Eloise was pretty nervous as she was getting ready (with the help of her beautiful bridesmaids and Mum) 🙂 And when her Dad arrived to help out and get ready to head to the church, it was a very touching and emotional moment.
I met up with the guys over at the institution that is the Royce Hotel on St Kilda road, and soon enough Eloise and the girls arrived in a couple of vintage Rollers from Always Classic Cars.
Geoff Conrau, who is also a family friend of Eloise and Leon, conducted the ceremony, which included a couple of magical touches.
Then we had time for some family portraits and bridal photography before the Reception got going, with music being looked after by Mark from Black Tie Events (who I met for the first time on the night, and discovered we live just around the corner from each other – not sure if that means it's a small world, or I'm a bad networker!?).
Everything about Eloise and Leon's wedding had been carefully planned, considered and was well looked after, and I had a great time working with them – hope they had a brilliant time as well on their big day.

Deadline Extended for Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Fellowship and Seed Grant Proposals
The Humanities Program in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences invites proposals from faculty in traditional humanities departments who embrace public engagement as part of the scholarly vocation.
As a participating institution, the U of A may nominate two prospective fellows: one for the fellowship and one for the seed grant. To be eligible for either program, nominees must have been full-time humanities faculty for at least two academic years as of September 2018; and pre-tenure, untenured, or have received tenure in the last five years.
The Public Engagement Fellowship of $50,000 is for projects far enough into development or execution to present specific, compelling evidence that they will successfully engage the intended public. For the strongest fellowship proposals, both the overall strategy and the practical plan to implement the project will be deeply developed, relationships with key collaborators will be in place, and connections with the intended public will have been cultivated. In some cases, the nominee and collaborators may have tested the idea in a pilot, or the project itself may already be underway.
The Public Engagement Seed Grant of up to $10,000 supports projects at a somewhat earlier stage of development than the fellowship, before the nominee has been able to establish a specific track record of success for the proposed public-facing work. It is not, however, designed for projects starting entirely from scratch: nominees should have fleshed out a compelling vision, including a clear sense of whose collaboration will be required and the ultimate scope and outcomes. They should also have articulated specific short-term next steps required to advance the project and understand the resources required to complete them.
Categories of proposals funded in the past by the Whiting Foundation include:
- Public programming projects like exhibits, public conversations, or walking tours
- Community-engagement projects involving members of the a defined public as co-creators
- K-12-focused projects, including the development of classroom resources
- Audiovisual projects, including podcasts, apps, and films
Proposals (not to exceed three single-spaced pages) should include discussion of the folllowing:
- Project precis: Indicate whether you wish to apply for the fellowship or the seed grant. Provide a summary of your proposed project, indicating the subject matter, the form it will take, and your desired outcomes. In addition, indicate the project's current status and, if applicable, describe any work already completed.
- Intended public and plan for outreach: Identify the segment of the public you intend to engage through your fellowship project and describe your plan to ensure that you reach them. Be sure to make clear, in language compelling to a non-specialist, why the project will be engaging to the public you have chosen. Bear in mind the difficulty of capturing attention in our media-saturated world; we are looking for evidence not just that your project will be available to a public but that they will be moved to participate in and be affected by it.
- Technical skills: Any public-facing project draws not only on the intellectual acumen and subject-matter expertise that will be clear from your CV but also on the skills less obviously associated with traditional academic work. Please communicate the technical skills you possess to make your project successful.
- Use of funds: Provide a draft budget of how you would spend project cost stipend of up to $10,000. Also list other sources of funding already secured, if applicable.
- Biographical highlights: If you have experience relevant to your fellowship project that is not included or fully described on your CV, please elaborate.
- Two-page CV and relevant bibliography (if appropriate) of two pages or less to your proposal.
The deadline has been extended, and proposals are now due by 5 p.m. Monday, June 1, to Tricia Starks, director of the Arkansas Humanities Center, whose email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information about the grants and the national selection process and criteria, visit The Whiting Foundation online.
Internal nominees will be forwarded June 26 and first round applications are due June 29, 2020.

lifting inspection software
An electric hoist is an extremely valuable machine that could be utilized for moving heavy items by suspending them from a long beam of light that lifts, relocates, and positions the things in question. Among one of the most current developments in this field is the telescopic mast straddle crane, which can be categorized as a portable gantry crane. This device is not just small, yet offers you very efficient service. What likewise works in the support of this item is that it is tremendously economical.
It could be made use of both interior as well as outdoor for carrying, moving as well as putting loads that evaluate up to 50,000 lbs. So if you should lift, move or put sturdy delivery cargo containers or big generator boxes, this particular crane is flawlessly suited to your demands. The crane can quickly straddle a flatbed or a semi truck for precisely placing or lifting different items. Such items are best utilized at ports, storage facilities, manufacturing facilities or building and construction websites. The portable gantry crane could be effectively used for lifting the tons to a height of 120 feet.
A lot of crane drivers are primarily worried concerning whether the crane uses a smooth as well as jerk-free procedure. With this crane, you obtain all this and far more. Since it is hydraulically operated, you can expect a jolt-free procedure. It comprises four integrated masts that make placing, lifting and positioning a cakewalk for crane drivers. This makes the mobile gantry crane a much better as well as trustworthy alternative to pricey hoists and also drive systems.
Here are some important realities that you must consider prior to buying a shop crane or gantry crane. The very first thing to think about would certainly be the specific objective for which you would be using a crane. If you need it for lifting delivery containers, oading as well as unloading large containers in a truck, or for moving heavy-duty spreadings, you need to pick a machine that can handle all these lots efficiently. The next vital thing would certainly be the travel range of the crane in question. Most of the times, you may have to lift lots to a vertical height of anywhere between 6 feet to 12 feet. Your picked crane must have the ability to meet these requirements.
You should be able to make use of the crane either indoor or outside. If you are using it outdoor, do keep in mind to take a look at the products that have actually been utilized for creating the equipment. It needs to be tough and rust resistant. Ideally it needs to be made from sturdy structural steel.
The supplier of a gantry crane or store crane need to give you an option between towable or self-propelled versions. If you are choosing a self-propelled design, then do bear in mind to choose powered guiding for simplicity of maneuvering. An additional extremely important inquiry to ask the supplier would certainly be whether the mobile gantry crane could be easily put together as well as disassembled (knocked down) for transportation and storage.
Hydraulic Machinery describe devices as well as devices which make use of high pressure fluid to complete any operate in industrial fields. Mostly made use of in huge as well as hefty equipment, these machines discover use in various commercial applications. Hydraulic equipments service the basis of Pascal's Law which states "The stress, in a fixed hydraulic fluid in a shut system is almost everywhere the very same".
Now a days, hydraulic equipments are high in-demand in the different market sectors. These could move enormous quantity of power through tiny tubes, flexible hoses as well as other tools that are utilizing this modern technology. Both concepts on which Hydraulic Machines job are as folllows. A force that acts on a tiny area could produce a larger pressure by acting on a bigger location by hydrostatic pressure. A big quantity of power can be carried by a tiny flow of very pressurized fluid.
Powered by a regular engine or electric motor, in these machines, hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure degree and then relocated throughout the equipments by various actuators. The fluid in these equipment is controlled directly or instantly by control valves and then distributed via pipes as well as tubes for different applications. The pumped hydraulic fluid moves to the actuators or motors after that returns to a tank where the fluid is filtered and after that re-pumped. The course through which the hydraulic fluid distributes is called hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic circuits are primarily of 2 types, open center circuit as well as shut centered circuit.
In open facility circuits, the flow of the fluid is returned to the container through the control valve's open center. When the control shutoff is centered it provides an open return path to the tank as well as the fluid is not pumped to a high stress. Yet, if the control shutoff is actuated, it routes liquid to and from an actuator and also to the storage tank. The liquid's pressure will rise to meet any type of resistance. If the stress increases expensive, fluid returns to container through a stress safety valve and numerous control valves could be stacked in collection. These circuits are highly chosen around the world due to their high performance as well as budget-friendly costs. In shut facility circuits, full pressure is supplied to the control shutoffs whether the shutoffs are activated actuated or otherwise. The pumps vary in circulation price; these pump hardly any hydraulic liquid till the operator activates a valve. The valve's spool does not need an open center return path to storage tank. Several shutoffs could be connected in an identical setup and also system pressure is equivalent for all valves.
Hydraulic machinery are made use of in petrochemical, mechanical, design, agricultural and also numerous allied markets. These can additionally be used in tin cooling systems and air-conditioning systems. Hydraulic pumps utilized in hydraulic machinery are powered by an electric motor or engine, which is attached through gears, belts or a flexible elastomeric combining in order to minimize hefty resonance and also guarantee trouble cost-free & noiseless procedure. Numerous components present in hydraulic equipments are hydraulic pumps (equipment pump, vane pump), control shutoffs, actuators, storage tank, accumulators, hydraulic liquid, filters, tubes, pipelines, hose pipes, seals, fittings and also connections.
