Remote control of the MAESTRO handle with a cord
The MAESTRO handle has a small hole for attaching a cord (e.g. AIRLINE cord).
- Carefully read the Instructions for Use used in this technical advice before consulting the advice itself. You must have already read and understood the information in the Instructions for Use to be able to understand this supplementary information.
- Mastering these techniques requires specific training. Work with a professional to confirm your ability to perform these techniques safely and independently before attempting them unsupervised.
- We provide examples of techniques related to your activity. There may be others that we do not describe here.
Warning: any excessive pulling on the handle can cause an uncontrolled release.Verify that no external object could accidentally pull on the cord.
WARNING: use only a lightweight cord to operate the handle. In certain situations, a cord that is too heavy could impede the automatic return of the handle (AUTO-LOCK).
Note: it is not possible to use the MAESTRO's external brake when using a cord for remote control. Make sure that the load can be controlled without passing the rope over the external brake.
To maintain proper control over unlocking and descent speed, always hold the brake-side rope and the cord in the same hand.

Cooling and monitoring
Cold Aisle Containment SystemsCold Aisle Containment Systems utilise chillers and / or free air cooling systems to bring cold air to the front of the cabinet door via an under floor ducting system. Ideally suited to green field sites, these containment systems dramatically reduce the cost of cooling the data centre. Typically, the cabinets are arranged into aisles, and are positioned with the front doors of the cabinets facing each other. A roof is placed over the top of the aisle and doors are added to each end to trap the cold air but still provide access. The cool air is forced under the floor and brought up through vented tiles into the aisle, where the perforated steel doors of the cabinets allow the air to be drawn into the front. The active equipment within the cabinet will draw the cool air in and across its component boards, and the resultant hot air is expelled out through the rear of the cabinet into the data centre. Since the ambient air within the data centre is not the air being used to cool the cabinets, it doesn't matter that the temperature is much higher. The result is a cost effective way to cool the equipment only, rather than waste vast amounts of energy cooling the entire data centre room. |
Hot Aisle Containment SystemsProviding the perfect containment solution for existing data centres, hot aisle containment can easily be installed in existing data centers, since the required access is above the cabinet. By placing aisles of cabinets back to back with a gap of approximately 1.5 metres, it is possible to place a door at each end and a roof over the top to capture all the hot air expelled from the rear of the cabinets. This air is extracted from the containment room and either pumped outside, or elsewhere to provide Sensible Heat to other parts of the building such as the offices. No under floor ducting is required, allowing for easy access and minimal disruption during installation. The ambient temperature within the data centre becomes a comfortable temperature at around 22°C or so, which also provides a very useful bi-product – if the hot air extraction should fail, the temperature will increase very slowly, since the ambient room temperature is cool enough to keep components functioning correctly. This provides an extra level of resiliency to the data centre and allows ample time to respond to the failure. |

Grateful Dead's Bob Weir Joined the Avett Brothers at Mountain Jam
Modern-day folk rockers the Avett Brothers just wrapped an epic set at Mountain Jam. And during their 90-minute set, Grateful Dead legend Bob Weir strolled onstage to play some songs with them.
Weir joined the Avetts for takes on the Avetts' own 'Go to Sleep' as well as George Jones' early country classic 'The Race Is On,' a song the Dead used to cover in concert quite often back in the day.
Here's another video and a few pics from the show.

The US Coast Guard calls off a search for crew of Cheeki Rafiki
A search and rescue operation by the US Coast Guard has been called off after two days spent trying to locate the missing yachtsmen from the Beneteau First 40.7, Cheeki Rafiki.
The four man crew was delivering the boat back from Antigua to Southampton when they are understood to have run into trouble when the boat started taking on water last Thursday.
The skipper was in touch with Stormforce Coaching, the company that runs the charter race boat and informed them that the crew were 'keeping the situation stable' according to a statement from the company principal Doug Innes.
'Unfortunately we lost contact during the early hours of Friday morning and we believe the crew abandoned to the life raft, the statement continues. 'Search and Rescue authorities were mobilised and a mixture of Canadian and US aircraft along with merchant vessels searched throughout Friday and Saturday. Although the search efforts co ordinated by Boston were exceptional we are devastated that search has been called off so soon after the abandonment to a life-raft.'
It is understood that the initial position of the distress was 38-45N, 048-00W and that a later Personal Locator beacon position was 38-34.9N; 048-15.4W at 2310Z on 16 May 2014. Broadly speaking, midway between the eastern coast of the USA and the Azores.
Later, in winds of 30 knots and sea state of around 4m a container ship, the M/V Maersk Kure discovered an upturned vessel in an area that is said to be consistent with where the Cheeki Rafiki could have drifted to. A photograph taken from the deck of the container ship appears to show an upturned sailing hull with no keel.
Reports from the ship also suggest that there were no signs of life aboard the boat and that the ship did not investigate the upturned hull.
Petty Officer Rob Simpson, a spokesman for the US Coastguard, was quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying, "The Maersk Kure is a 1,000ft container ship which does not have the manoeuvrability, capacity and ability to help.
"It has a fairly limited possibility of picking anything up – it is not designed for search and rescue capabilities or anything like that or trained to do anything like that."
Asked if others could have attended the scene where the hull was found, he said: "It is not possible to take a helicopter that far offshore – the search area is very far out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
"The grand scale of this is immense.
"Aircraft take four or five hours to get there and vessels can take over a week. This particular ship just happened to be in the area, they were not tasked specifically for this."
Aircraft and ships travelling through the area have been alerted to the missing yacht, he added.
Meanwhile there was still hope among the sailing community that the crew had abandoned ship and taken to a liferaft.
It is understood that a second distress signal from a McMurdo Fastfind PLB (personal locator beacon) which has to be manually activated and with a signal that is unlikely to transmit through the hull of the boat, suggests that a crew member had activated it. It is this that is providing hope for family, friends and colleagues that the crew boarded the liferaft.
The missing crew are Paul Goslin, 56, from West Camel, Somerset, Steve Warren, 52, from Bridgwater, Somerset, Andrew Bridge, 21, from Farnham, Surrey, and 23-year-old James Male, from Southampton.

Watch Strap Cognac Brown
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Handcrafted from the finest Nordic Salmon leather and lined with cowhide leather. These straps are durable and will carry your watch in style.
Size S/M: 110/70 mm
Size M/L: 120/80 mm
- Silver or gold buckle
- M or L length
- 18 and 20 mm width
Salmon leather is durable and it's easy to care for. Your bag will last longer with good care. Firstly use a soft cloth to clean the surface, then use a soft rubber brush in the direction of the scales to remove any excess dirt. To make it more resistant to dirt and moisture you can use a neutral spray for suede leathers, apply this before first use and after cleaning the leather.
Bear in mind, light colors demand more care than darker colors as clothes with dark colors (such as black jeans) can stain the suede leather.
The leather can handle light rain, but never expose it to rain too much as wet leather will get dry and brittle. Leather bags are susceptible to absorbing grease or oils, if this happens you can apply corn starch and leave it overnight, before dusting it off with a brush. Any cleaning methods used for suede leather can also be used on these products. In some cases, a clean rubber can remove small spots.
Cowhide leather should be conditioned regularly to keep it soft and avoid it getting dry and cracked. You can also use a mild cleanser twice a year before conditioning.

Will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy: When he was set down on the judgementseat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, Said unto them, Ye have brought this man. unto me as one that perverteth the people, and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him : No, nor yet Herod : for I sent you to him: and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. And they cried out all at once, saying, |

Tiffany, who would spit out the words "extremely" or "diligently" after every other word, gives off a positive energy like an aura. There are some things you can realize by just looking at her. Unseen efforts could also be seen behind her bright face. With just a few days until her birthday, the shooting time spent with Tiffany, who was chosen as this season's "Bean Pole" accessory muse, as expected, was a delight.
1st Look: First, I'm curious about what you've been up to lately.
Tiffany: While promoting as 'Girls' Generation-TTS' during the beginning of the year, I prepared for our newly released Japanese single album, 'PAPARAZZI'. Now that our Japanese promotions have resumed, I've been going to and from Korea and Japan.
1st Look: Your birthday is on August 1st. Happy early birthday. What have you done on your past birthdays?
Tiffany: That's right. Thank you. A few days after my birthday, it will be Girls' Generation's 5th anniversary. Because my birthday has always been in the same month as our anniversary, it is usually the most grand and showy amongst the members. The fans give me a lot of presents too. (laugh) While doing all our work according to schedule, I've been going to eat yummy foods and playing with my members lately. I want to spend this year's [birthday] a little more specially, so please recommend some good ideas.
1st Look: Today's photoshoot was conducted with a 'lovely' and 'dandy' concept, but I heard that you decided on the styling concept yourself.
Tiffany: During a meeting with Girls' Generation's head stylist, Seo Sookyung, this was the last concept that came up. I thought it would be fun to show a sexy yet lovely, girlish look, along with a cute, boyish feel and mannish look. I actually had a bob [haircut] when we first debuted. I received a lot of love for my epicene charms during that time. I wanted to show people a side of me through this photoshoot that I haven't been able to show.
1st Look: In the photoshoot, you experienced various styles that you wouldn't normally come across. It was an area of work different from when you take the stage as a Girls' Generation member. What type of attitude did you have going into this?
Tiffany: Um… It wasn't too different. Even when preparing for a performance, I'm the type that checks everything in detail, from one to ten. Along with the makeup and hair, I also check the outfit's details and material. Getting on stage up until now has given me a lot of practice. Now, time has passed and I am able to digest mature concepts too, so I've become able to work things out in a more fun way. And so, this time is fun and very enjoyable.
1st Look: I heard that you took full part in the styling for Girls' Generation – TTS's album, which promotions recently ended for (the red hair in the 'Twinkle' music video was also known to have been chosen by recalling Nicole Kidman in the movie 'Moulin Rouge').
Tiffany: After my bob [hairstyle] from our debut, I've done various hairstyles, going from blonde to orange hair. I heard that red hair is hard for an Asian person to pull off, but it looked very appealing on Nicole Kidman and Emma Stone. That's why I suggested it, and I think it turned out well, fortunately. (laugh)
1st Look: Do you have a lot of interest in fashion, too?
Tiffany: I didn't know until now, but fashion had become a part of my daily life. When I look now at photos of my mom, dad, aunt, and clothes they wear, their [fashion] sense is unique. I think I've gotten a lot of influence, especially from my mom. Since I was little, she would always tell me this is pretty or that is pretty and would pick things for me. Even with a pink color, she would tell me the differences in shades, so I've always been familiar. I think of those things matter-of-factly.
1st Look: Do you usually like carrying bags around?
Tiffany: Simply put, bags are family. Because bags carry my life around, I consider them extremely precious.
1st Look: Did you like the bags you used in today's shoot?
Tiffany: (pointing at the pink bag) Hot pink! I recommend this one. It's because I like pink so much. I think vivid colored bags will gain popularity this fall. I carried a pretty, orange bag today.
1st Look: What do you usually carry in your purse?
Tiffany: Because the shoot wasn't going to be so long today, I didn't bring a lot of things, but first, I brought my wallet and diary. Whenever I have time, I always plan something. Whether I go to receive treatment or to exercise. I write a lot too. (while opening and showing her diary) I organize outfit concepts and write songs I want to perform on stage too.
1st Look: Introduce items in your purse.
Tiffany: I write in my diary with various colored pens. And perfume! When my mood settles or when I want to feel strength, I spray it. My hair tie is even pink. I have glasses too. I wear glasses when I go out in the morning. And I carry powder and lip tint, as every girl usually does. Depending on my outfit, I carry either a red or pink [lip tint]. If you want to look pretty, you must use perfume and lip tint. (laugh) I usually read books and carry games around, but I didn't bring any with me today. Oh, and a MP3 player. I always listen to it while getting ready.
1st Look: You're wearing an outfit for the photoshoot today. What is your usual style like?
Tiffany: It's different every day, but I've been wearing slippers and training suits often lately because I've been feeling lazy. (laugh) Still, I generally dress femininely. I like girlish, romantic styles. Like skirts or one piece [dresses]. And I like long jump suits too. Because we have to ride the airplane for a long time when we have to go overseas for filming or concerts, jumpsuits are the best.
1st Look: Girls' Generation has 9 members, and Girls' Generation – TTS has 3. It was also the first unit promotions. I'm curious about how you feel about completing promotions.
Tiffany: Rather than by the number [of members], we tried our best to conduct and show a stage filled with our voices. What we haven't been able to show until now—what I personally like the most—I was happy to be able to express our styling and music. I was sad because it felt like it passed by so quickly, and I want to promote again too. Still, I'm happiest when all 9 are together. Not only were there unit promotions, all the members were doing their own activities. It turned out that us three were least lonely. We went overseas for a concert for the first time in a while, and the members usually use separate rooms, but all 9 of us were stuck together and played and ate together. As happy as we were doing individual activities, we learned how valuable we are to each other.
1st Look: What song have you been listening to a lot lately?
Tiffany: I've been into electronic a lot, so I've been listening to it a lot. I went to Wonder Girls' concert recently and have been listening to all the songs on their album. Personally, I really like their music a lot. I don't know why, but I've been getting into Ne-Yo again lately. I think I listen to him a lot more because it's [his music] between electronic and R&B. I recommend it. (laugh)
1st Look: When you really don't have any schedules, what do you do?
Tiffany: After promotions for Girls' Generation – TTS ended, I've been having those kind of days (Translator's note: days without any schedules). There honestly isn't anything for me to do. So on days I rest, I just go for 'treatments'. I go to the dermatologist and receive hair treatments. I think skin and hair are essential for a woman. I would go home if we don't have schedules for long periods of time, but because I only get [free] time occasionally, I invest all my time in self-treatment.
1st Look: You're receiving love from numerous people amongst the general public, but are there times where you wish you lived a regular life like other girls your age?
Tiffany: (after thinking) Of course I want to do that. I also feel that it'd be nice if I could go around comfortably and that shopping and going out to eat would be my own personal time. However, this is the job I chose, and as much as I want to do those things, my current work is valuable. And so I try to be more responsible and show a good example, and I am enjoying it. I mean this life itself .
1st Look: In a different interview prior to this, I saw you say, 'It feels like launching a Tiffany brand within a Girls' Generation brand.' It made me nod my head. Along with Girls' Generation's future, I think there is a future that Tiffany dreams of herself.
Tiffany: Even when I think about it, my dream is pretty big. (laugh) While fulfilling dreams as a Girls' Generation member, I want to show more musical aspects as Tiffany, and also want to attempt drama or musical roles if they suit me. And fashion! I hope I can express the fashion I love as much as I want, enthusiastically.
I remember the first moment Girls' Generation was stamped in my mind. On the opposite side of Shinsa-dong Street, there was a bus stop on a wide street. It was when they were gaining a great amount of popularity through 'Gee' and 'Tell Me Your Wish' like a social phenomenon. Appealing posters of the girls wearing white, short-sleeved t-shirts and tight fitting jeans were stuck closely together at the bus stop. Right when the sun was setting, the light bouncing off the posters on the bus stop looked like a product installed by a magician. Those girls are now standing at the peak of 'Hallyu'. They have fans, not only in Korea, but all over the world. Amongst them, short-haired girl Tiffany came to Korea alone when she was in middle school. She debuted when she was the age of a high school student and has now become a woman in her 20's. With her trademark loveable eye smile, she has matured enough to be able to show the image of a dandy woman, which she didn't have a chance to show before. Tiffany has now grown to the point where she can express herself alone.

A Louisiana teacher questioned whether the school's superintendent should receive a raise. Then, she was ushered out of a school board meeting and handcuffed.
The dramatic arrest on Monday — which was caught on video — has drawn outrage in the U.S. and beyond. The Vermilion Parish School Board offices were locked down on Tuesday after receiving threats, board president Anthony Fontana told The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette, La.
The Vermilion Parish teacher, Deyshia Hargrave, will not face charges.
"I have reviewed the video and I am not going to approve any charges against the teacher," Ike Funderburk, the city attorney in Abbeville, the parish seat, told KATC. "I have talked with the attorney for the school board. They do not wish to pursue any charges against the teacher."
Since it was posted to YouTube on Monday, the video has been viewed more than 1.7 million times.
During a public comment period at the board meeting, Hargrave stood up and voiced opposition to superintendent Jerome Puyau receiving a raise.
"I have a serious issue with a superintendent or any person in a position of leadership getting any type of raise," she said calmly. "It's absurd that we're even considering giving someone a raise when these teachers are working this hard and not getting a dime."
The board then voted to approve the raise for Puyau, reportedly moving his salary from around $110,000 to more than $140,000.
At that point, Hargrave addressed the room again. "How are you even going to take a raise?" she asked. "It's basically taking our money."
At that point, a security officer, later identified as a deputy city marshal paid by the school board, approached Hargrave and asked her to leave the meeting. "You're going to leave or I'm going to remove you. Take your things and go," he said.
She asked whether it was against policy to stand as she spoke and pointed out that the board was directly addressing her. She then complied with the officer's request and walked out of the room.
Seconds later, the video shows the security officer forcibly putting Hargrave in handcuffs as other teachers voice outrage.
"What are you doing, can you explain?" Hargrave asks.
"Stop resisting," the officer replies.
"I am not, you just pushed me to the floor," the teacher says.
Outside, the officer says he gave her "many directives to leave" and ushers her into the back of a police vehicle.
Hargrave was booked into jail overnight, according to KATC, even though the superintendent said that "shortly after the meeting that he had called to inform police that the system didn't want any charges pressed."
The city appears to be distancing itself from the officer. Funderburk, the city's attorney, emphasized in his statement that the officer "is not acting in any official capacity on behalf of the city of Abbeville." He also stressed that "the city of Abbeville has absolutely nothing to do with the events of the other night."
The ACLU of Louisiana said Hargrave's expulsion from the meeting and arrest "are unacceptable and raise serious constitutional concerns." It adds: "The Constitution prohibits the government from punishing or retaliating against people for expressing their views, and the fact that a schoolteacher was arrested at a public meeting of the school board is especially troubling."
Board President Anthony Fontana defended the officer's behavior in a statement to KATC.
"If a teacher has the authority to send a student, who is acting up and she can't control, out of the classroom to the principal's office, under our policy we have the same rules," Fontana said. He added that the officer "did exactly what he was hired to do. He followed the procedures completely. She's the one who made the choices that got her arrested."
Two board members have complained that the board does not treat women fairly, according to The Associated Press.
"No reason for anyone to be treated this way. So far in three years, only women have been removed from board room meetings," board member Sara Duplechain told the wire service.

After seeing the title of this post, you're probably singing "is love, sweet love" in your head. Or, maybe you're not keeping it inside and you're belting out the 1965 Jackie DeShannon hit to either the delight or severe dismay of those around you. Perhaps you're by yourself, in which case I say go ahead and belt it out. I've convinced myself that God loves the sound of my voice, even if no one else does. I'm sure the same is true for you.
Love, sweet love is synonymous with how I would finish that sentence with or without the song. After all, God is love. And, we're not seeing enough love these days, are we? The culture seems to be in a state of chaos. It seems like there's another school shooting every other week, another terrorist attack just as often, and we're in danger of adding more wars every day. Yesterday it was with North Korea, the day before that it was Russia, and this morning it's Syria. Dare I even mention that the current political climate has the United States of America more divided than ever?
So, what is the answer? Border Walls? Gun control? Mental health mandates? How about our spiritual health? Let's take it back to love. Let's take it back to the cross. Why? Because I whole-heartedly agree with both William Barclay who said, "Jesus' coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares" and the late, great Billy Graham who said "God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'"
I look to the cross and there is nothing that anyone can say or do to make me believe that God does not care about the chaos in our culture or that He does not love me in a very personal and direct way. He's already proven it.
So, why don't more people see it that way? Well, quite simply, we've pushed him out of our lives. We've put ourselves on the throne where He rightfully belongs. We see it all around us every day. Sadly, even often at church. Therefore, I would argue that it is our spiritual health that is in crisis and if we can fix that, everything else will fall into place.
Obviously, we can't remove sin from the world. The world will be restored but it will be God that does it. Which is all the more reason to look to Him now. We need a revival. We need repentance. We need to make holiness and righteousness our primary goal. We need to put God back on the throne of our lives and, by extension, our culture.
I am convinced that with true, Christian revival would come a drastic reduction in murder, terrorism, war, racism and the indiscriminate shouts of hatred toward others that we see on the news every day and night.
Respect for God means we respect what God respects and love what God loves. God is love and He loves each and every one of us. That means that if we would wholeheartedly turn to God and changed our lives to reflect our love and respect for Him, we would almost automatically love and respect each other. If we respected each other, we would stop breeding hatred and, ultimately, stop killing one another.
In other words, passing all the laws in the world can't do what turning to God can do. You might say, what the world needs now is Jesus, sweet Jesus. Perhaps now more than ever before.

Interview with Don Hsieh, director of commercial and industrial marketing, Tyco Integrated Security
Food recalls are a threat to public health as well as a company's bottom line, and the impact of a recall can last for years after the event is over. Don Hsieh of Tyco Integrated Security discusses how companies can use food defense strategies to prevent recalls.
Q: What are some of the most common causes of food and beverage recalls?
A: The number of food recalls in the U.S. has dramatically increased — jumping four-fold over the number just five years ago. Reasons for this huge spike are plentiful, with most contributing factors relating to a food supply chain that is increasingly global and complex. Other major contributors include deficiencies in food production and monitoring processes, failure to maintain food processing facilities and equipment, non-compliance with Standard Operating Procedures, and the inability to track products through the supply chain.
Q: What are some direct and indirect ways that a product recall can impact a company's bottom line?
A: Product recalls not only pose a serious threat to the health of consumers, but they can also be costly to companies. The average cost of a recall to a food company is $10 million in direct costs, which typically includes notification of the recall to the supply chain and consumers, product retrieval, storage, destruction, unsalable product and the additional labor costs associated with the recall. This does not include indirect costs, which usually come from litigation, any agreed or mandated governmental oversight post-incident, lost sales and damage to a company's overall brand recognition — arguably the most significant costs to a company.
Q: What effects can a product recall have on a brand's reputation, and how long do these effects last?
A: When a product is recalled, a food company shouldn't only be concerned about the effects it will have on their profits, but also the brand's reputation. The power of social media and the 24-hour news cycle allow for consumers to hear about a product recall faster than ever. Today's companies need to be mindful that news-worthy stories, especially when they negatively affect the safety of consumers, will spread quickly and make it nearly impossible for companies to react to negative publicity in a timely manner.
A food recall can affect a brand's reputation for years following the recall. Once a recall has occurred, consumers are less inclined to purchase the affected brand in the future. In a Harris Interactive poll, 55 percent of consumers indicated they would switch brands temporarily following a recall, 15 percent would never purchase the recalled product again and 21 percent would avoid purchasing any brand made by the manufacturer of the recalled product. The bottom line is that companies will likely feel the impact of a food recall long after the incident is over.
Q: In the event of a recall, how should a company communicate with consumers?
A: When a food safety problem is identified in a product that has been distributed to consumers, it is extremely important that the supplier advise consumers immediately by issuing a formal consumer recall notice. A consumer recall notice must include information on the company recalling the product, the name of the product, what the product is and the reason why it is being recalled.
When a company decides that a product needs to be recalled, they must make sure the unsafe food is recovered from all points in the production and distribution network. It is critical to have an effective traceback system in place so that each company in the supply chain maintains records one step back of all products purchased upstream from their suppliers, and one step forward for all products supplied downstream. In the event that consumers already have the food product in their possession, they need to be notified as soon as possible in order to protect themselves. Timely communication to all federal, state, and local regulatory agencies; accurate media representation; and direct communications to affected consumers supported by a call center equipped with clear information and instructions on what the consumer needs to do are keys to an effective recall response.
Q: What food defense strategies can food companies implement to help prevent a product recall?
A: A single incident of tampering, tainting or contamination of a food product can have disastrous consequences on a brand, so implementing preventative measures is key. In most cases, food contaminations can be prevented by enforcing a comprehensive food defense strategy throughout the manufacturing process and across the supply chain. The effects of a strong food defense strategy include increasing consumer safety, protecting employees, reducing operational risks and protecting shareholder value. The Four A's of food defense are the core components of a proactive food defense program, that delivers the intelligence to help food companies and suppliers implement the preventive actions necessary to protect their brand:
- Assess: Vulnerability assessment of Critical Control Points
- Access: Allow only authorized staff access to Critical Control Points
- Alert: Continuously monitor the whole supply chain to alert appropriate individuals of intentional and unintentional instances of food adulteration
- Audit: Determine operational and regulatory compliance to best food defense practices and provide documentation of compliance to regulators

4 ounces (113 grams) unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan
1 10-ounce (285-gram) bag marshmallows
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
6 cups (160 grams) crispy rice cereal (about half a 12-ounce box)
Butter (or coat with non-stick spray) an 8-inch square cake pan with 2-inch sides.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom as you do. Don't take your eyes off the pot as while you may be impatient for it to start browning, the period between the time the butter begins to take on color and the point where it burns is often less than a minute.
As soon as the butter takes on a nutty color, turn the heat off and stir in the marshmallows. The residual heat from the melted butter should be enough to melt them, but if it is not, turn it back on low until the marshmallows are smooth.
Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the salt and cereal together. Quickly spread into prepared pan. I liked to use a piece of waxed or parchment paper that I've sprayed with oil to press it firmly and evenly into the edges and corners, though a silicon spatula works almost as well.
Let cool, cut into squares and get ready to make new friends.

(it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us) Part of a quote from Marianne Williamson
. Go for it! I want on my grave stone she burned out instead of rusted out! What do you want them to say about you?
When you look at the year 2017 Look at all your accomplishments big and small. Acknowledge them. Look at family, career, friends, financial, physical, mentally, spiritually Look at what you said you would do and did not do. Acknowledge the good the bad and the UGLY! Don't make anything wrong, just look acknowledge and then look at are you willing to move forward right now? We can't move forward fluidly unless we acknowledge whats so. set aside a specific time to do so. It may take a few hrs. give yourself that time. You deserve it! When you do this we then have total freedom to move forward. Create 2018 the most magnificent Year yet!
Ask yourself are your actions and speaking in alignment with what you are committed to? Look at what are the habitual patterns that have that commitment thwarted?

The first issue of COMICLOUD is available (in English) for fans for $4.99 digital download!
It's not clear yet how frequently new issues will be coming out, or exactly what type of stories this anthology will specialize in... but it is definitely unique in terms of a Japanese-created digital magazine made for English consumers. Other cartoonists involved in this first issue include Takeshi Okamoto, Shizuka Nanami, Taro Matsumoto, and our friend Shintaro Kago.
UPDATE: Okay, DUH... you don't need a Kindle to read the magazine; as JRBrown has noted in the comments, you can download software to read Kindle books on any device.
I actually just read it, the first issue is a little weak in my opinion-- stiff production/lettering and the quality of the Kindle images is not super high. That said, it is awesome to see Shintaro Kago officially available in English. I think readers can skip this first one but it sounds like Issue 2 will be quite interesting!
From Brian about the issue:
The mag has four one-panel gag manga from Kago (one of which is about toilet paper). I didn't get the first one, "Ultra high level endgame," but I think that's because it alludes to a Japanese TV show I haven't seen.
The preview for the second issue is tempting with even more Kago: "Shintaro Kago is pushing into a new frontier: an authentic mystery story! The out-of-this-world manga artist has attempted his first genuine work in the genre. Can you solve the puzzle?!"
The mag is also on Twitter - @comicloud (mostly Japanese) and @bookloud (English).
UPDATE #2: Jiro Nemoto, one of the editors of COMICLOUD stopped by and left a comment! He notes:
[Shintaro Kago's] new shot is a comical mystery (??) with 24 pages. I'll post the news about Shintaro Kago and our e-magazine via @bookloud in Twitter. Stay tuned for COMICLOUD No.2, please!

The last time Tanna Jo Fillmore talked with her mother, she was in a Utah jail, angry, pleading and desperate. She'd called every day that past week, begging for help.
I need my medicine, she demanded.
I have to get out of here! she screamed.
Fillmore was in the Duchesne County Jail on a charge of violating probation in a drug case; she had reportedly failed to report a change of address. At 25, she'd struggled with mental illness for years, but Xanax and hyperactivity medication had stabilized her. Now, she told her mother, the jail's nurse was denying her those pills — and she couldn't take it any longer.
That November day, she phoned her mother, Melany Zoumadakis, three times over an hour. In their final conversation, Fillmore's voice was raw with rage. She blamed her mom, a nurse herself, for not doing more. She threatened to kill herself, warning that if she did: "'You're going to be the worst mother in the world.'" Then she hung up.
Zoumadakis called her daughter's probation officer and told him she feared her daughter would die in jail, but he assured her Fillmore was being monitored.
The next day, Thanksgiving 2016, Fillmore's sister, Calley Clark, received a Facebook message. "I'm so sorry," a friend wrote. Then another note arrived: "Please tell me it isn't true." In Texas for the holiday, Clark had an uneasy feeling and asked her boyfriend to call the jail. He returned with the news.
Clark dialed her mother, gasping so hard she could barely speak, and asked if she'd talked with Tanna that day. She hadn't.
"Mom," she cried, "she's dead!"
On her ninth day in the Duchesne County Jail, Tanna Jo Fillmore hanged herself in her cell. She never did get her meds.
Read the headlines on any given day across America and you'll find evidence of a crisis roiling the criminal justice system: "Suicide leading cause of death in Utah jails." ″San Diego County inmate suicide rate 'staggeringly' high." ″Attempted suicides at Cuyahoga County Jail tripled over three-year span."
Stories like Fillmore's have been told time and again, and yet the deaths continue in jails large and small.
Suicide, long the leading cause of death in U.S. jails, hit a high of 50 deaths for every 100,000 inmates in 2014, the latest year for which the government has released data. That's 2½ times the rate of suicides in state prisons and about 3½ times that of the general population.
It's a problem commonly blamed on the mere fact that more mentally ill people are landing behind bars, a trend that started after state psychiatric hospitals began closing in the 1970s and promised alternatives failed to emerge. More recently, jails have been overwhelmed with those addicted to opioids or meth, many of whom wrestle with depression and withdrawal.
Increasingly, troubling questions are being raised about the treatment of inmates in many jails, possible patterns of neglect — and whether better care could have stopped suicides.
A joint investigation by The Associated Press and the University of Maryland's Capital News Service finds that scores of jails have been sued or investigated in recent years for allegedly refusing inmates medication, ignoring their cries for help, failing to monitor them despite warnings they might harm themselves, or imposing such harsh conditions that the sick got sicker.
Reporters spent months examining hundreds of cases in local news reports, reviewing investigations of specific jails, and compiling a database of more than 400 lawsuits filed in the last five years over alleged mistreatment of inmates, most of whom were mentally ill. Some 40 percent of those lawsuits involved suicides in local jails — 135 deaths and 30 attempts.
The court files contain thousands of pages of allegations and valuable clues about how and why this problem persists. For example:
— About a third of jail inmates who attempted suicide or took their lives did so after staff allegedly failed to provide prescription medicines used to manage mental illness. Some jail officials say withholding medications for a short period isn't harmful and that some inmates try to manipulate the system to get drugs. David Mahoney, a Wisconsin sheriff, disagrees. If inmates are taking psychotropic drugs, he says, "we have a moral and ethical responsibility to continue them."
— The first week of an inmate's detention is critical. In the jail lawsuits, more than half of suicides or attempts occurred during the first seven days, and many of those were within the first 48 hours after intake. Those early days are marked by the sudden stress of confinement when inmates worry about losing jobs, family reaction and an uncertain future.
— Inmates frequently used clothing, bedsheets or shower curtains to hang themselves. The review also revealed instances of inmates being given razors, despite clear warnings they might harm themselves.
— Many inmates weren't checked regularly — usually every 15-30 minutes — because of staffing shortages or inadequate training.
Of the 165 jail suicides and attempts, about 80 percent of inmates were awaiting trial.
These lawsuits represent a tiny fraction of the problem. An exclusive 50-state reporting effort to collect recent data found more than 300 suicides in local jails from 2015 to 2017 — in just nine states. The others did not provide numbers or offered incomplete data, an issue prompting some legislatures to consider bills that would require jails to provide better information about those dying behind bars.
The 2014 federal statistics reported 372 suicides among some 3,000 jails surveyed.
What's most disturbing about these deaths, lawyers and civil rights advocates say, is they're largely avoidable.
"The vast majority are foreseeable and preventable," says Lori Rifkin, a California prisoners' rights attorney. "But they continue to happen because, overall, I think there is a cultural dismissiveness toward both the signs that help us predict suicide — and toward the steps necessary to prevent them."
Jonathan Thompson, head of the National Sheriffs' Association, calls that assessment absurd and says while jail officials must take every step to protect inmates, they've been placed in an impossible situation.
"We're not the nation's psychologists," he says. "We have decided that as a society let's just warehouse the mentally ill in a jail … which is neither equipped for, trained to handle or able to be most efficient and effective at solving the problem.
"The failure here isn't just what a deputy or an officer in a jail does or doesn't do. The failure is that these people are being put in a criminal environment for mental illness."
Tanna Jo Fillmore had a troubled history.
Jo-Jo or TJ, as her family called her, was a fearless girl, competing in rodeo barrel races and riding her horses through the woods into the rugged Uinta mountains. Her mother dubbed her "the horse whisperer."
Problems started cropping up, though, during adolescence when she gained weight and classmates taunted her. She'd cry but would forgive. "She wanted to be accepted by everyone so much, even if they were mean to her," says her sister, Calley Clark.
Clark says her sister struggled with depression as a teen, but no one really addressed it. When Fillmore dropped out of high school just shy of graduation to care for her ailing father, Clark adds, "all her plans and dreams went away."
She was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, panic disorder and depression, and was prescribed Xanax and the stimulant D-amphetamine sulfate, according to a civil rights lawsuit filed against Duchesne County.
Fillmore married at age 21, and around then, her family says, she started using methamphetamines and developed a reputation as a "druggie" in their tiny eastern Utah community, Tabiona. In 2013, according to court records, Fillmore pleaded guilty to drug charges and was placed on probation. Two years later, Clark says she still appeared to be using meth, though she flushed her drugs down the toilet and vowed to quit.
By November 2016, Fillmore, long separated from her husband, had moved to Salt Lake City to live with her mother. She was talking about a fresh start and waiting for an open bed in residential drug treatment. The family's lawyer, Tyler Ayres, says Fillmore didn't report her change of address to her probation officer.
That led her to the Duchesne County Jail where, according to the lawsuit, she told the booking clerk about her prescriptions but, despite repeated requests, was denied them by Jana Clyde, a licensed practical nurse who allegedly called her a "drug addict." The complaint claims Clyde, who can't legally prescribe drugs, didn't "fulfill her gatekeeper role" by contacting the jail doctor.
Dr. Kennon Tubbs, who contracts with the county, told the AP he didn't receive any request for medication for Fillmore. Tubbs' physician assistant makes a weekly visit, but there's no indication Fillmore saw medical staff while locked up. Clyde did not respond to a message sent to her through the county.
Ayres, the family's lawyer, says Fillmore wasn't suicidal and flourished while taking medication: "All they had to do was give it to her. … They have an obligation to provide adequate medical care."
The lawsuit notes Fillmore also may have feared facing a lengthy sentence for her probation violation, although her court-appointed lawyer told the AP the chances of that were exceedingly low.
Fillmore hanged herself with a bedsheet. Her court hearing was four days away.
Nationwide, jail suicide cases are leading to substantial settlements over faulty policies or neglect; some lawsuits were brought by families who'd tried warning jailers of a loved one's condition.
In Grundy County, Iowa, Jared Slinker, a 26-year-old mentally ill father of three, tied a bedsheet around his neck and was left hanging for 13 minutes because only one jail staffer worked that night and doubled as a dispatcher. Policy prohibited the guard from entering the cell until another worker arrived, says Dave O'Brien, a lawyer for the family, which last year won a $500,000 settlement.
Both Slinker's father and a doctor warned jail officials he was depressed and withdrawing from drugs. Slinker told a jail official he was delusional and taking an antidepressant, but the booking officer inexplicably answered "no" on an admissions form when asked about those very things.
"Any reasonable person would have not missed those signs that he was a mental health risk," O'Brien says, noting Slinker would have been monitored more carefully with the right classification. The jail has nearly doubled its surveillance cameras.
In Lake County, California, Elizabeth Gaunt, a 56-year-old former social worker, was jailed after acting erratically but never charged. Gaunt, who had mental health and substance abuse problems, was placed in a cell with a surveillance camera and was supposed to be checked every 15 minutes.
Over 25 hours, she begged for a doctor, repeatedly screamed "help me," tore a blanket into strips, checked their strength on a sink and toilet, and used them to kill herself. A guard who looked in through a cell window noted in an observation log all was OK.
Dane Shikman, Gaunt's son, says his mother should have been taken to a mental health center, not jail, and believes the guards didn't care enough to intervene. The county settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $2 million.
"It is a failure of humanity and of our institutions that causes these tragedies," Shikman says. "When they see someone who looks like they're struggling, they don't say, 'Let me step in. This is someone's mom.'… They think this is a woman on drugs doing whatever she's going to do, she'll shut up."
In Delaware County, Pennsylvania, 35-year-old Janene Wallace, who suffered from mental illness and paranoia, was in solitary 51 of 52 days for a probation violation. She was locked up 23 hours a day at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility. When she threatened to choke herself in 2015, a guard told her to go ahead. She did. The guard went to lunch without checking on her and was among three workers fired.
"She needed treatment," says David Inscho, an attorney for the family, which won a $7 million settlement. "They gave her the opposite."
Other cases detail how similar callousness or poor judgment can turn deadly: In Knox County, Tennessee, an inmate who tried to kill himself with a razor six months earlier was given another one when readmitted on theft charges. A guard allegedly said he should "have done the job right" the first time. The inmate slit his throat.
Sheriffs frequently complain they don't have enough money to hire mental health workers, train guards and make needed improvements to enhance inmate monitoring.
Mahoney, the Dane County, Wisconsin, sheriff, has no separate housing for inmates with certain severe behavioral, medical or mental health problems, so they're confined to solitary, where they'll spend 23 hours a day in a 6-by-9 cell with the lights on nonstop. "It's inhumane," he says. "But we're forced into a situation to keep these people alive."
Mahoney is trying to secure funding to replace a 66-year-old jail with one that will have a hospital-like wing. But seeking more dollars isn't a popular request.
"When … we're answering to the taxpayers, do we want to say we're putting that money toward improving your roads, your schools … or we're putting it toward making inmates more comfortable?" says Christine Tartaro, a criminal justice professor at Stockton University and author of "Suicide and Self-Harm in Prisons and Jails."
The problem extends beyond budgets. Asking a jail to hold inmates awaiting trial and those serving short sentences, and also act as de facto mental health and drug treatment centers, she says, is too great a burden.
"How much," she asks, "are we expected to get out of one institution?"
Fillmore wasn't the first person to die inside the Duchesne County Jail.
Inmates killed themselves in 2013 and 2015, and a week after Fillmore's death, Madison Jensen, a 21-year-old withdrawing from heroin, was found dead in her cell. The cause: a probable cardiac arrhythmia caused by severe dehydration. She'd lost 17 pounds in four days, according to a lawsuit filed against the county, the sheriff at the time and jail officials including Clyde, the nurse in Fillmore's case.
Jensen, who'd been arrested on drug charges, was too weak to stand at times, vomited and had diarrhea repeatedly, the lawsuit says.
The Utah attorney general's office charged Clyde with negligent homicide. A magistrate threw out the case, but an appeals court reversed the ruling, paving the way for Clyde to face trial. The decision notes that other than checking on Jensen's blood pressure and giving her a sports drink, Clyde didn't take her vital signs, perform other tests or contact the physician's assistant even after Jensen filled out a medical request form.
Clyde told investigators she wasn't aware of the severity of Jensen's illness. Frank Mylar, her lawyer, says "based on the knowledge she had, she believed she did the best she could. After the fact, would she have done something different? Absolutely."
Duchesne County Sheriff Travis Tucker, who took office in January, declined to discuss either case but says jail policy does provide for some prescription medicines. He also says a seven-bed medical wing is being added to cope with what he estimates is a tripling of inmates in the last decade, many of them mentally ill or addicted. Registered nurses have been added, as well.
Tucker notes the state has a higher-than-average suicide rate, "so if it's that way on the outside, what makes you think it isn't going to be that way on the inside?" He's part of a statewide group exploring how Utah jails can better prevent suicides.
Last year, state lawmakers passed a measure requiring an accounting of jail deaths — a demand initially met with "a lack of cooperation" among some sheriffs, according to Sen. Todd Weiler, the sponsor.
But they did comply. In November, the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice reported 71 people died in Utah jails from 2013 to 2017. More than half — 38 — were suicides.
There's no single fix for this, but sheriffs, lawmakers and advocates have some possible answers.
Some jails have improved training, added mental health staff and placed suicide-resistant mattresses in cells.
In Lake County, California, where there was that $2 million settlement, Sheriff Brian Martin initiated reforms including installing a larger surveillance monitor for guards to watch cells holding troubled inmates. The jail also replaced blankets with tear-resistant ones; gave staff four more hours of suicide prevention training; added a registered nurse; and replaced paper logs with an electronic system to track cell checks. All jail clocks were synchronized, too, so inmates are monitored at the correct intervals.
"We don't want this to ever happen again," Martin says.
In Texas, the Sandra Bland Act became law in 2017, mandating mental health training for law enforcement and making it easier for those arrested to receive a personal bond if they have a mental illness or substance abuse problem. The measure is named after a black woman who killed herself in 2015 after being jailed in Waller County for a minor traffic violation.
Other Texas counties have implemented changes.
In Bexar County, home to San Antonio, 21 inmates killed themselves from 2011 to 2018. Now, a special team of deputies roams the jail to identify inmates who may be suicidal. The sheriff also is working with county officials to secure the release of nonviolent mentally ill inmates who may languish in jail because they can't afford a $250 bond.
In Harris County, home to Houston, the sheriff's office teamed up last year with mental health officials for a pilot program to give inmates access to a suicide hotline. "It acted like a pressure valve," says Sheriff's Major Mike Lee. The program is expected to become permanent.
"The solutions … don't involve reinventing the wheel," says Aaron Fischer of Disability Rights California. His group spent 2½ years investigating San Diego County jails, where there were 17 suicides from 2014 to 2016, and issued a report criticizing the system for excessive use of solitary confinement and punitive treatment of the mentally ill. San Diego officials say they are investing resources into training and recruiting.
Fischer says it's important to demystify mental illness to a public that may mistakenly believe inmates who kill themselves are "wholly to blame" or deserve what happens to them if they end up in jail.
"These are people who had families, people who had dreams and strengths and weaknesses," he says, "humans placed in an extremely harsh and punitive setting and denied care that they needed, leading to a death that didn't need to occur."
Tanna Jo Fillmore had dreamed of rebuilding her life.
Five days after her death, her mother got a call from the residential treatment center her daughter had planned to enter. It was her check-in day, and the caller wondered why she wasn't there. Her mother relayed the news.
More than two years later, Fillmore's mother still grieves. On Easter she visited the cemetery, polishing her daughter's headstone, putting down flowers and propping up family photos. The tears flowed, as they do whenever she visits.
When she stopped crying, she stood at the grave and in a strong, clear voice spoke to her lost daughter:
"Dear Jo-Jo," she said, "we love you and we miss you and we think about you every single day. Keep dancing in the sky."

Evans Probate Attorneys
When someone you love passes away, in addition to your grief there may be many legal issues to handle, including the distribution of any material possessions they might have had. Dealing with these issues can be complicated without the help of an experienced Evans, GA probate attorney.
If your deceased loved one owned real property or personal property it is likely an estate will have to be opened with the probate court in the county where they lived so that someone can be appointed to handle his or her affairs. This is true whether the deceased person has a Last Will and Testament or not. Depending on the circumstances, the person who oversees the estate–the executor, administrator, or personal representative–may be required to post a fiduciary bond, publish legal notices in the paper and file reports with the court after opening the estate.
With the help of a Evans probate law firm such as Georgia Probate Attorneys you will not have any problems dealing with probate cases. We are Evans probate attorneys who can tackle probate cases involving any testate or intestate situations.
Our team will reduce your stress as the estate's executor or personal representative. We can also help if there are any issues that may arise, as well as unpaid bills that must be sorted before the assets can be distributed properly. Our team will be with you at every step and answer your concerns.
Call Georgia Probate Attorneys at (770) 637-3611 for your Free Consultation!
Testate and Intestate Situations
When dealing with probate cases, you will come across the terms "testator" and "intestate." A testator is a person who has made a Last Will and Testament. An executor is the person who was appointed by the testator to carry out the terms of their Last Will and Testament. Our attorneys are well-versed in Georgia's probate laws and are all able to assist you in this process.
During a testate case, our team will review all the documents provided and make sure they are valid. We will also check if the will was made by the testator of their own desire and not signed due to duress or force. Our attorneys will work together with the beneficiary or beneficiaries and/or the executor to help with a legal action if anyone contests the will.
Meanwhile, if someone passes without a will or if their will is considered invalid, it is known as "intestate." For these cases, the legal process would entail applying the state's probate laws to distribute the assets. When this happens, having a Evans probate attorney is crucial because, without one, the assets will automatically go to the state unless a properly appointed heir takes possession of the property before the deadline set by Georgia's probate laws.
Duties of Evans Probate Attorneys
If you are uncertain whether to get a Evans probate attorney for your case, you should know what role they play in a probate case. Probate cases can take a lot of time to finish and cost a lot of money if not handled properly, especially if the decedent did not leave a Last Will and Testament or there are concerns that should be disputed. If you have a probate attorney beside you, they will not just help you; they will also assist the administrator or executor of the property in question.
Here are some of the areas our probate attorneys can handle for you:
Marshalling Assets
When a new estate is opened, the personal representative is legally required to locate and take charge of any probate asset belonging to the deceased individual. If the personal representative neglects this responsibility and fails to locate some of the estate's property, he or she can be held personally liable by the probate court.
The debts of the decedent need to be taken care of prior to any distributions being made to the beneficiaries of the estate. The people who will inherit the property in the estate should go ahead and pay ongoing bills, such as utility bills; mortgage payments; house or car insurance; car payments; real estate taxes, so that no valuable property is lost or damaged. Once an estate is open the personal representative can provide reimbursement from estate assets.
Creditors may submit both formal and informal claims. Most claims are informal—that is, they are just ordinary bills, sent to the deceased person, that get forwarded to the executor. The executor has authority to pay these debts as they come in, using estate assets. The personal representative must publish notice of the proceeding in a local newspaper, and creditors have a certain amount of time to submit formal written claims.
If everyone does not agree, then you are facing a contested probate estate. Death is a stressful, emotional time, and inheritances sometimes come with unexpected emotional baggage. Do not worry, Georgia Probate Attorneys can help when there is a fight about who should be in charge and who should get what.

Thousands of tourists spill onto a boardwalk in Alaska's capital city every day from cruise ships towering over downtown. Vendors hawk shoreside trips and rows of buses stand ready to whisk visitors away, with many headed for the area's crown jewel: the Mendenhall Glacier.
A craggy expanse of gray, white and blue, the glacier gets swarmed by sightseeing helicopters and attracts visitors by kayak, canoe and foot. So many come to see the glacier and Juneau's other wonders that the city's immediate concern is how to manage them all as a record number are expected this year. Some residents flee to quieter places during the summer, and a deal between the city and cruise industry will limit how many ships arrive next year.
But climate change is melting the Mendenhall Glacier. It is receding so quickly that by 2050, it might no longer be visible from the visitor center it once loomed outside.
That's prompted another question Juneau is only now starting to contemplate: What happens then?
"We need to be thinking about our glaciers and the ability to view glaciers as they recede," said Alexandra Pierce, the city's tourism manager. There also needs to be a focus on reducing environmental impacts, she said. "People come to Alaska to see what they consider to be a pristine environment and it's our responsibility to preserve that for residents and visitors."
The glacier pours from rocky terrain between mountains into a lake dotted by stray icebergs. Its face retreated eight football fields between 2007 and 2021, according to estimates from University of Alaska Southeast researchers. Trail markers memorialize the glacier's backward march, showing where the ice once stood. Thickets of vegetation have grown in its wake.
While massive chunks have broken off, most ice loss has come from the thinning due to warming temperatures, said Eran Hood, a University of Alaska Southeast professor of environmental science. The Mendenhall has now largely receded from the lake that bears its name.
Scientists are trying to understand what the changes might mean for the ecosystem, including salmon habitat.
There are uncertainties for tourism, too.
Most people enjoy the glacier from trails across Mendenhall Lake near the visitor center. Caves of dizzying blues that drew crowds several years ago have collapsed and pools of water now stand where one could once step from the rocks onto the ice.
Manoj Pillai, a cruise ship worker from India, took pictures from a popular overlook on a recent day off.
"If the glacier is so beautiful now, how would it be, like, 10 or 20 years before? I just imagine that," he said.
Officials with the Tongass National Forest, under which the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area falls, are bracing for more visitors over the next 30 years even as they contemplate a future when the glacier slips from casual view.
The agency is proposing new trails and parking areas, an additional visitor center and public use cabins at a lakeside campground. Researchers do not expect the glacier to disappear completely for at least a century.
"We did talk about, 'Is it worth the investment in the facilities if the glacier does go out of sight?'" said Tristan Fluharty, the forest's Juneau district ranger. "Would we still get the same amount of visitation?"
A thundering waterfall that is a popular place for selfies, salmon runs, black bears and trails could continue attracting tourists when the glacier is not visible from the visitor center, but "the glacier is the big draw," he said.
Around 700,000 people are expected to visit this year, with about 1 million projected by 2050.
Other sites offer a cautionary tale. Annual visitation peaked in the 1990s at around 400,000 to the Begich, Boggs Visitor Center, southeast of Anchorage, with the Portage Glacier serving as a draw. But now, on clear days, a sliver of the glacier remains visible from the center, which was visited by about 30,000 people last year, said Brandon Raile, a spokesperson with the Chugach National Forest, which manages the site. Officials are discussing the center's future, he said.
"Where do we go with the Begich, Boggs Visitor Center?" Raile said. "How do we keep it relevant as we go forward when the original reason for it being put there is not really relevant anymore?"
At the Mendenhall, rangers talk to visitors about climate change. They aim to "inspire wonder and awe but also to inspire hope and action," said Laura Buchheit, the forest's Juneau deputy district ranger.
After pandemic-stunted seasons, about 1.6 million cruise passengers are expected in Juneau this year, during a season stretching from April through October.
The city, nestled in a rainforest, is one stop on what are generally week-long cruises to Alaska beginning in Seattle or Vancouver, British Columbia. Tourists can leave the docks and move up the side of a mountain in minutes via a popular tram, see bald eagles perch on light posts and enjoy a vibrant Alaska Native arts community.
On the busiest days, about 20,000 people, equal to two-thirds of the city's population, pour from the boats.
City leaders and major cruise lines agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that won't ease congestion if the vessels keep getting bigger. Some residents would like one day a week without ships. As many as seven ships a day have arrived this year.
Juneau Tours and Whale Watch is one of about two dozen companies with permits for services like transportation or guiding at the glacier. Serene Hutchinson, the company's general manager, said demand has been so high that she neared her allotment halfway through the season. Shuttle service to the glacier had to be suspended, but her business still offers limited tours that include the glacier, she said.
Other bus operators are reaching their limits, and tourism officials are encouraging visitors to see other sites or get to the glacier by different means.
Limits on visitation can benefit tour companies by improving the experience rather than having tourists "shoehorned" at the glacier, said Hutchinson, who doesn't worry about Juneau losing its luster as the glacier recedes.
"Alaska does the work for us, right?" she said. "All we have to do is just kind of get out of the way and let people look around and smell and breathe."
Pierce, Juneau's tourism manager, said discussions are just beginning around what a sustainable southeast Alaska tourism industry should look like.
In Sitka, home to a slumbering volcano, the number of cruise passengers on a day earlier this summer exceeded the town's population of 8,400, overwhelming businesses, dragging down internet speeds and prompting officials to question how much tourism is too much.
Juneau plans to conduct a survey that could guide future growth, such as building trails for tourism companies.
Kerry Kirkpatrick, a Juneau resident of nearly 30 years, recalls when the Mendenhall's face was "long across the water and high above our heads." She called the glacier a national treasure for its accessibility and noted an irony in carbon-emitting helicopters and cruise ships chasing a melting glacier. She worries the current level of tourism isn't sustainable.
As the Mendenhall recedes, plants and animals will need time to adjust, she said.
So will humans.
"There's too many people on the planet wanting to do the same things," Kirkpatrick said. "You don't want to be the person who closes the door and says, you know, 'I'm the last one in and you can't come in.' But we do have to have the ability to say, 'No, no more.'"

Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose or treat problems of the uterus.
One of the most common uses for hysteroscopy is to find the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Abnormal bleeding can mean that a woman's menstrual periods are heavier or longer than usual or occur less often or more often than normal. Bleeding between menstrual periods also is abnormal.
A hysteroscope is a thin, lighted telescope-like device. It is inserted through your vagina into your uterus. The hysteroscope transmits the image of your uterus onto a screen. Other instruments are used along with the hysteroscope for treatment.
Hysteroscopy also is used in the following situations:
• Remove adhesions that may occur because of infection or from past surgery
• Diagnose the cause of repeated miscarriage when a woman has more than two miscarriages in a row
• Locate an intrauterine device
• Perform sterilization, in which the hysteroscope is used to place small implants into a woman's fallopian tubes as a permanent form of birth control

Hysteroscopy Info
How is hysteroscopy performed?
Before the procedure, you may be given a medication to help you relax, or general anesthesia or local anesthesia may be used to block the pain. If you have general anesthesia, you will not be awake during the procedure.
Hysteroscopy can be done in a doctor's office or at the hospital. It will be scheduled when you are not having your menstrual period. To make the procedure easier, your health care provider may dilate (open) your cervix before your hysteroscopy. You may be given medication that is inserted into the cervix, or special dilators may be used.
A speculum is first inserted into the vagina. The hysteroscope is then inserted and gently moved through the cervix into your uterus. Carbon dioxide gas or a fluid, such as saline (salt water), will be put through the hysteroscope into your uterus to expand it. The gas or fluid helps your health care provider see the lining more clearly. The amount of fluid used is carefully checked throughout the procedure. Your health care provider can view the lining of your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes by looking through the hysteroscope. If a biopsy or other procedure is done, small instruments will be passed through the hysteroscope.
What should I expect during recovery?
You should be able to go home shortly after the procedure. If you had general anesthesia, you may need to wait until its effects have worn off.
It is normal to have some mild cramping or a little bloody discharge for a few days after the procedure. You may be given medication to help ease the pain. If you have a fever, chills, or heavy bleeding, call your health care provider right away.
What are the risks of hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a safe procedure. However, there is a small risk of problems. The uterus or cervix can be punctured by the hysteroscope, bleeding may occur, or excess fluid may build up in your system. In rare cases, hysteroscopy can cause life-threatening problems.
Adhesions: Scars that bind together affected surfaces of the tissues inside the abdomen or uterus.
Biopsy: A minor surgical procedure to remove a small piece of tissue that is then examined under a microscope in a laboratory.
Cervix: The opening of the uterus at the top of the vagina.
Fallopian Tubes: Tubes through which an egg travels from the ovary to the uterus.
General Anesthesia: The use of drugs that produce a sleep-like state to prevent pain during surgery.
Intrauterine Device: A small plastic device inserted in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
Local Anesthesia: The use of drugs that prevent pain in a part of the body.
Miscarriage: Early pregnancy loss.
Speculum: An instrument used to open the walls of the vagina.
Sterilization: A permanent method of birth control.
Uterus: A muscular organ located in the female pelvis that contains and nourishes the developing fetus during pregnancy.
Vagina: A tube-like structure surrounded by muscles leading from the uterus to the outside of the body.

I think new years resolutions are too random- why start losing weight on January 1. It's such a random date. I suggested you start now– whenever you are reading this. Go ahead I'll wait.
But there is one item that makes sense to start with January 1st- gain control of of your finances. January 1st is good because you know exactly when you started your tracking. You know how to gain control of your finances, but here's a refresher:
- Figure out what you spend money on.
- Determine where you can save money (I called up my cell phone company and saved $32 a month by switching to a different plan and canceling phone insurance)
- Set up a budget- Save all you can
- Find ways to earn more
The hardest part of this is getting started. Do you know what you spend money on? I suggest you build a system (a machine) to make this automatic. Get your bank and credit cards to automatically update your data in a personal finance program like Quicken or Money or online at a site like Mint.
There will be some setup time but in the future you'll be able to just click a couple of buttons and you'll know exactly where you stand financially.

Since I am the Memory Guy I hate learning that I missed something new and cool in the world of memories, but somehow I was unaware of last week's Memsys conference in Washington DC until a participant notified me on Saturday that his paper: "Reverse Engineering of DRAMs: Row Hammer with Crosshair," had been given the the best paper award.
Upon looking at the Memsys website it looks like a very intriguing academic conference. about sixty papers were presented in eight interesting sessions:
- Issues in High Performance Computing
- Nonvolatile Main Memories and DRAM Caches, Parts I & II
- Hybrid Memory Cube and Alternative DRAM Channels
- Thinking Outside the Box
- Improving the DRAM Device Architecture
- Issues and Interconnects for 2.5D and 3D Packaging
- Some Amazingly Cool Physical Experiments
in addition to a few apparently-fascinating keynotes.
Fortunately, all of the papers are Continue reading "Memsys: A New Memory Conference"
