City of SarasotaHome Menu
We recognize that a vibrant, sustainable community should have a robust recycling program. This belief is reflected in our city code that requires all residents and businesses within the City to recycle (see Chapter 16 section 16.20).
Businesses are required to recycle but must contract directly with a recycling service provider, depending on their specific needs. If you have a question about how to get your business set up with recycling, contact Jeff Vredenburg at 941-263-6296 or email firstname.lastname@example.com .
Education of residents and businesses and helping them comply with this code is important to us. Keeping recyclable items from going into our landfill will help us accomplish the following goals:
- Re-energize our local recycling efforts
- Improve recycling rates
- Reduce recycling contamination and
- Connect waste streams with productive uses
Why is recycling important?
Every time we recycle an item, we prevent the need for original natural resources being used to create it from scratch. This saves energy cost, and keeps the item from taking up space in the landfill, saving money and keeping our environment beautiful.
What happens to my recycling after it's picked up?
After our local recycling is picked up it goes to a material recovery facility. This state-of-the-art facility operates 21 hours a day with a maze of conveyor belts and specialized equipment that sort recyclables into 'like' materials. Everything is then compressed into a one ton block and shipped to domestic and foreign mills for use in new material.
What happens if I recycle incorrectly?
There are many consequences to recycling incorrectly. Plastic bags can close down an entire recycling plant, making the process more costly for everyone. Liquid items can ruin an entire load, making valuable recyclables go to the landfill where they take up space and contribute to the production of harmful methane gas. Putting sharp metal objects in your recycling can harm workers in the recycling plant.
For our local recycling system to be efficient and affordable, we all need to chip-in by correctly separating our items that go into our solid waste, recycling and yard waste bins.
What if I have another question or request?
If you have a business question, take a look at our Business Recycling Brochure for answers to common questions and a list of haulers that provide services within the City of Sarasota.Residential recycling is managed out of Public Works Department. If you want to set up service, get a new cart, or view your pick-up day, please visit the Public Works Solid Waste and Recycling webpage and choose "Request New or Additional Recycling Bins".

At its May meeting, the Maryknoll Affiliate Board heard updates on the four prototype projects which had been proposed and initiated at the November 2018 Board meeting. This is what has been accomplished in just six months:
Quo Vadis – Per Bill Murphy, a local marketing team has been formed in the NY/New England area, and they are presenting the workshop to cross-cultural immersion groups to beta test it. If successful, the resulting final version of QUO VADIS will be presented at the November Board/RC meeting before broader marketing of the workshop.
Affiliates Connecting – Rich Lessard, Board Chair and Albany Affiliate, has connected with several Affiliates and Chapters through phone
Affiliate Hospitality – Roxanne Hughes-Wheatland said a survey asks Affiliates about their willingness and ability to provide hospitality to traveling Maryknollers, including Affiliates. See "Welcoming Maryknollers"

Large savings accounts require lots of work. The more you work, the more money you make. This is very true as far as making money goes. If you want to make money online, continue reading to learn more about it.
Try some surveys. There are lots of online surveys to do. You can earn a decent amount of money just filling out surveys in your free time. But depending in the type of survey or which website is hosting it, you can make a few dollars or only a few cents, so learn which sites to avoid. Surveys can fill your leisure time, and any money from them does add up.
You must have a provable identity to work online. A lot of companies will want the same type of ID as you would show a tangible employer. You can either scan your ID in yourself or have your ID scanned at a local Kinkos store for this purpose.
Online tutoring is a growing industry. This means that e-teaching is an option for a person who wishes to do work from home, If you have a solid background in a particular area, you likely have the ability to tutor for a reputable online company. This can open other doors if you are successful.
Try searching online to learn how to make money online. You are sure to come up with a long list of possibilities. Once you have found a good looking opportunity, research the company reputation and reviews. Be wary of anything that seems too good to be true.
Keep in mind how valuable your time is prior to working online. If you were to work on a regular job, how much will you be willing to work for? If you only work for pennies, you won't ever be able to earn more. People are going to pay you that sum, and earning more will be tough.
It can take some time to learn about making money online. A good starting point is to seek out others within the industry you are curious about and learn from them. Get with a guru, chat, and ensure the legitimacy of the websites you're on. Be open to new opportunities and you'll never fail.
Though you might not be wealthy by morning, you will see that it is possible to make real money via the Internet. The more you work your business, the more you'll earn. Go to it and make your first dollars online today!

The year 2016 was a good year for solar power, both nationally and in Florida. The total amount of installed U.S. solar power generating capacity nearly doubled in a single year from an already impressive 7.5 gigawatts of capacity added to the grid in 2015 to over 14.6 gigawatts in 2016.
Florida participated in solar power's national success by adding 1,700 solar jobs, building utility-scale solar farms, engaging in robust commercial and industrial solar installation activity, achieving favorable outcomes on two constitutional referenda, and positioning itself to make further progress throughout 2017. Florida's solar market, which had long been a sleeping giant among U.S. solar markets, is now awakening.
The state lives up to its nickname, "The Sunshine State," in terms of the average annual solar energy that it absorbs. Florida has the highest levels of solar energy east of the Mississippi River and therefore the greatest potential to take advantage of generating electricity from sunlight, which has a fuel charge of $0.00 per photon. It now appears that the state is about to begin to live up to the power-generation potential inherent in its nickname.
Voters Want a Clean Bill
In August 2016, Florida voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that empowered the Legislature to exempt solar equipment from non-residential property tax assessments. Accordingly, Senator Jeff Brandes introduced Senate Bill 90 to ensure that the will of the people is promptly and fully implemented in the 2017 General Session.
Last week, the Senate Communications, Energy & Public Utilities Committee unanimously approved the bill. Senator Brandes commented that "Florida should be a leader in solar, and the passage of this bill brings us one step closer to that reality."
Although most are optimistic that the bill will pass both houses of the Legislature without incident, it remains to be seen whether the bill can successfully run the gauntlet of the General Session and come out untampered with. Potential funny business might include implementing only the real property portion and not the tangible personal property portion of the bill or offering amendments clothed in "consumer protection" language.
Of course, consumer protection is paramount, and Florida's consumer protection laws apply just as firmly to solar installations as they do to any other building improvement, and this makes adding consumer protection language superfluous at best, particularly to a property tax-exemption measure that applies to commercial property owners, who are generally regarded as fairly sophisticated consumers of construction services. Voters did not buy into the consumer protection message that Amendment 1's supporters employed to promote that measure, which voters rejected as anti-competitive, and the voters certainly will not be impressed if consumer protection language is employed to in any way minimize or frustrate this bill's purpose or effectiveness. The bill is off to a good start in the Senate, and eyes are turning to the House to see whether the House will continue down the path of a clean bill that will duly and timely implement the will of the people.
Raising Awareness ahead of the General Session
Meanwhile, solar advocates are gearing up for the General Session. The Florida Solar Industries Association put on a 5k run in Sarasota, Florida, on Saturday, February 4. Dozens of runners and supporters turned out to kick off a new year of moving the Sunshine State's energy regulation into the Twenty-First Century.
Florida solar employers are preparing to visit Tallahassee in late February to meet with legislators to call their legislators' attention to this state's solar job potential and the benefit to consumers of addressing Florida's regulatory barriers, which were created long ago and are seen as the largest financial obstacle to allowing solar to flourish in the state.
Tim Hughes is an attorney in the Solar Industry Practice Group at Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP, where he monitors regulatory developments and market trends and provide experienced counsel and representation in the development, financing, and construction of solar power systems.

I started work this week on a major change project. Our 'three journeys' concept for embedding change and making strategies stick is really resonating. I must admit to walking into the project with some trepidation…a broken organisation that needs to be fixed or 'blown away' (a nice metaphor…not!). After four days there I feel a sense of enormous optimism. There is an alignment of circumstances that provide a great impetus for change. This is the project of a lifetime for the leadership team – the permission to create an amazing transformation.
On Friday afternoon one of the team noted that it was not just a journey we are starting on, its an adventure.

A Moment in History
May 21, 2017 By Dave Wilson
At the Houston Community College (HCC) graduation ceremony on May 13, 2017 at 1:00pm, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee delivered an inspiring speech to the graduates. She explained to the students that graduation was an important moment in the history of each graduate's life.
Expanding on her theme, "A Moment in History", hopefully the same can be said of the HCC board meeting, Committee of the Whole (COTW), on May 18, 2017. At this meeting the board voted not to authorize the Chancellor to begin a feasibility study to pursue purchasing real estate outside the taxing district. The board voted not to renew a marketing contract with the Houston Texans for $2m over a period of 4 years. The administration did not provide data that supported the expenditure.
An open and frank discussion about our LVN program being put on "conditional" status was eye opening, embarrassing, and healthy. The college failed to respond to early warning signs. We now have a process in place to prevent this from happening in the future. We have allocated a tremendous amount of resources towards making our nursing programs the best in Texas.
The board discussed emphasizing Quality over Quantity.
The board discussed being the Best not the Biggest Community College in Texas.
At the meeting I saw board members focused on the taxpayers, not land deals.
At the meeting I saw board members focused on the students, not the vendors.
Changing the culture at HCC is not going to be easy or fast. But I hope when we look back on the May 18, 2017 COTW meeting, we will be able to say: That was "The Moment in History" when the culture at HCC started to change.

its a heavy gun. Plenty of guys have hunted all day with that gun... I would prefer not too.
Anyone hunt with a Rem. 1100 12ga., 2&3/4" chamber Modified choke barrel? If so, do you feel it is too heavy to hunt wild pheasant with all day?
its a heavy gun. Plenty of guys have hunted all day with that gun... I would prefer not too.
1100 are great guns and have killed millions of birds I'm sure. I wouldn't prefer to carry one all day though to be honest with you. They are a classic but heavy. Maybe we have all just became wimps compared to the generations before us???
It's subjective, really. If the gun feels good to you, then you'll use it. They may be heavy by comparison, but it's not like they weigh 20lbs. The issue for me is how they handle. Only you can decide if it feels right.
Seems the weight of a gun becomes more of an issue as we age. If you're a young stud the 1100 probably is not too heavy. But if you are in your 50's, 60's and beyond it would be a load to haul around all day. There are a lot of lighter options.

Yep, they are heavy. However, so is my ancient Citori. If you have the gun and like it you'll carry it. However, I wouldn't go looking to buy one to carry all day.
Really subjective obviously. But in general, I'd say "no" it's not too heavy. Is it a dream to carry? No. But no heavier than a lot of guns guys carry all day pheasant hunting. About the same as an old style Sweet 16. Lighter than a Light 12. Lighter than many over/unders. I'm 49, not powerfully built at all, & carry a Sweet 16, which is nearly the same weight as an 1100. Although I wish it didn't weigh so much, it doesn't bother me to the point I don't want to carry it. I love the gun & shoot it well. That's why I haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet of a new, really nice, & significantly lighter gun. Because by many reports, they take some getting used to (shooting wise). I don't want to go through the growing pains for something I may never like as much or shoot as well. I may feel differently in 5-10 years.

Nope. It's not. Listening to men fret about carrying 8 pounds of wood and steel is embarrassing.

The last two weeks have been a complete whirlwind, and it's about to escalade. Last week I traveled to NYC to find an apartment for myself and my ever so darling roommates. We had a plan, and we had been chatting with many people but just like anything: you have to get out there and you have to make moves.
Traveling on the red eye, I landed Monday morning and started looking right away. I couldn't check into my hotel until late so I began my search in East Village, near NYU. Wow was this miserable. Everything I saw was a disaster for the price I was wanting to pay. Actually all that was available, just ended up being a nightmare and for an insane amount of money. Although I had expected this for the most part, it wasn't to this extreme. I wasn't for living in a closet, up six flights of stairs with no elevator, for an absolute fortune of fees coming out of the woodwork.
{ I find the fire escapes so interesting }
As I returned to my hotel in the afternoon, (exhausted and without food) I let myself rest a bit. My girlfriend encouraged me to come a bit further North to look. We had been in contact with a broker, who seemed to have some great deals in a great area. Even though I was opposed to living this far from school, I thought I'd take a look.
Lucky for us we fell in LOVE with the places she showed us! Each and every one of them. They were all in an awesome neighborhood, and had been newly renovated and/or hardly lived in. If only I had to listened. However I realize now I had to see all of the bad to fully appreciate this gem of a place. We were set on it.
{ it's all rather endearing }
Since the office was closing we decided we'd apply the very next morning, deposit in hand. That night we got work that someone had already taken the place off the market, within the hour we had been there. I couldn't believe it. Apartments literally go that fast in NYC. So we chose our second choice; just as marvelous but with white walls instead of the distressed brick on one side.
{ can't reveal too much now }
So then we waited.
And waited.
In NYC once you apply and put the deposit down, they no longer show it to anyone else. Then they look through all of your finances to see if you're able to be approved. That was the longest twenty-eight hours of my life.
{ luckily I had great friends to keep me company }
In the meantime I continued to look, regardless of the fact that I knew we wouldn't like anything else nearly as much (unless of course we had a million some odd dollars).
{ may have stopped by here in the passing time }
Jacob's Pickles is a great option for dining. Just a little side note.
Wednesday we were OFFICIALLY APPROVED!!!!
{ Kelly not pictured – yet she will be along for the ride too }
I spent the rest of my time meandering around NYU campus, and working out at the athletic facility. As I mentioned, in the evenings I also found time to meet up with a couple of friends of mine, whom I have met either in college or through living in LA. Now that is just what I needed. Knowing I am moving to a place with many friends whom I adore, definitely makes this move that much better. Not to mention I'm just obsessed with every part of this transition anyway.
I don't foresee myself ever getting sick of this miraculous place.
In that case you better all come visit me soon!
With love,
S y d n e y
Heading overseas now.
Reporting back soon.

There are two soups–plucked from my favorite childhood books–that fill some cozy recess of my soul, and chicken soup with rice is one of them.
A craving for chicken soup with rice took hold of me last week, seemingly out of the blue. In fact, I don't have any memory of actually eating this soup, except perhaps at some diner that offered it as the soup of the day.
So I have no idea if this is an "authentic" chicken and rice soup recipe, it's just the dish I always pictured when I read Maurice Sendak's Chicken Soup With Rice. And it does seem to me like the kind of soup you can eat at any time of the year: warm and comforting, like a hug for your tummy.
Plus, I realized, this would make an excellent Circle of Chicken recipe, using the leftover meat from Perfect Roast Chicken and eight cups of Golden Chicken Broth of Happiness. This makes it incredibly convenient and inexpensive to make.
Now, if you are craving this soup and don't have these items on hand, go right ahead with some best-quality canned or boxed broth and some shredded rotisserie chicken (or pop a chicken breast or two in with the rice, and then remove it, shred, and return it to the soup after it's cooked through).
However, top-quality ingredients are the key to making a simple soup like this shine. I threw it together in about 30 minutes last night, and my husband is still raving about how good it was!
Chicken Soup With Rice
Serves 6
You need:
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4″-1/2″ dice
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 1/2-2 cups leftover chicken, chopped or shredded
2-3 cups of water, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Do you have any go-to soup recipes? Favorite children's books? Post them below!

After sitting inside this long winter, I think we could all use some cheering up. Spring is the perfect time to paint a room or two for a fresh & clean feeling. It is a great way to make a change to a room without spending a ton of money.
Another way to freshen up the feel of a room is to move furniture around. You've been sitting in that same spot for months now and the whole room is getting tired. Move the furniture (even slightly) to make the space seem fresh. Maybe move accessories from one room to another, hang that art finally or change out your throw pillows.
These small things can really make a difference in a room and feel like a new space.

Trick or Treat for UNICEF
Sixty-seven years ago, "Trick-or-Treat" for UNICEF began as a way to help the children affected by World War II. Since then, children all over the world have gone trick-or-treating with UNICEF collection boxes to raise money for various causes.
For 70 years, UNICEF has defended the rights of children over 190 countries and territories; the money collected helps the children of those countries and territories access immunization, education, health care, nutrition, clean water and sanitation.
UNICEF only accepts cash donations because it can make the biggest impact and save lives. Once all the donations are collected to UNICEF, the organization identifies the countries where the needs are the greatest, and will allocate from there. Having the children go around on Halloween with collection boxes has been a way to raise money just a quarter at a time.
Jupiter High Physics teacher Lorraine Plageman, a former UNICEF volunteer, is the sponsor for the organization at JHS.
"Living here in the United States, we forget how lucky we truly are. We can walk down the hall and get clean water from the water fountain here. Every student in Palm Beach County is entitled to free breakfast. In many parts of the world, kids do not have clean water, they do not have enough food to eat, they do not have medicine or they cannot go to school because they have to support their family," said Plageman.
The 2017 campaign runs from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. Donations received after June 30 will be added to next year's campaign.
Every dollar donated to UNICEF makes a difference. $1 gives a pack of pencils to 30 students, $55 gives a box of 150 food packets to malnourished children and $210 buys a school-in-a-box to help 40 refugee kids learn and heal.

BRITAIN's third modern light rail line was formally opened on May 30 by the Deputy Lord Mayor of Birmingham Sue Anderson. Public services on Midland Metro Line 1 between Birmingham Snow Hill and Wolverhampton St George's (right) began the following day. Trams initially run every 10min, but operating concessionaire Travel Midland Metro plans to increase the daytime frequency to every 6min this month.
Despite 21 intermediate stops at an average spacing of 900m, the 20·4 km trip is scheduled to take 35min at a commercial speed of almost 35 km/h. This is possible because 18 km of the route uses a segregated former rail alignment.
Although the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority allowed its powers to build Lines 2 and 3 to lapse, planning is continuing for an on-street extension in the centre of Birmingham from Snow Hill to Five Ways. Another would take over a mothballed Railtrack line between Wednesbury and the Merryhill shopping centre near Dudley.
- Test running has started on the 0·8 km Cornbrook - Pomona section of the Manchester Metrolink extension to Eccles, after the overhead line equipment was energised on June 1. With the first of the LRVs ordered for the extension now delivered, Altram (Manchester) Ltd hopes to have the route open for traffic to Broadway by the end of this year.

As the official day for giving thanks rolls around, I'm feeling more apprehensive than thankful this year. Here in the U.S. we've just come through a very long and contentious election and I am alarmed to see hate mongers taking advantage of the deep divisions it revealed to spread their insidious poison. No matter the color of our skin or the way we live or worship, there is far more that unites us than separates us and I hope in the end, that will win out.
So, what is there to be thankful for? I'm thankful I live in a country where we have elections. I'm thankful for each new day that gives me a chance to try and be a better person, better parent, better friend. I'm thankful I don't have to worry about where I'll sleep tonight or what I'll have to eat tomorrow or next week. I'm thankful I discovered miniatures 25 years ago and I'm thankful for the friends and challenges I've found there.
What are you thankful for this year?

State copy of Emancipation Proclamation to get new case
$410,000 encasement will protect document purchased in 1865
In 1865, the state Legislature bought a document for $1,000. The document is now priceless, but protecting it from the ravages of time will cost $410,000.
The state comptroller approved Wednesday a contract between the state Education Department and the U.S. Department of Commerce for the design and construction of a new case for the draft copy of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation that is in the care of the State Library.
The new $410,000 case will replace the current double-chamber glass and steel case that was built in 1967 to protect the roughly 154-year-old document. The four-page proclamation, written with brown-black ink on loose ruled sheets of rag paper is kept from deteriorating by nitrogen gas used to control the temperature and humidity inside the case. It is kept in a secure climate-controlled vault, and experts recommend that it be on display for only a maximum of 80 hours per year to prevent damage, according to the state.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, a program part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, will build the new encasement. NIST is the same entity responsible for building the argon-filled cases for the Declaration of Independence and Magna Carta.
The story behind the state's copy of Lincoln's draft Emancipation Proclamation is the type of true story that rivals historical fiction.
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1 1863. The version in the state's hands was issued to Lincoln's Cabinet on Sept. 22, 1862.
The story goes that a son of Lincoln's Secretary of State William H. Seward was a friend of the family of Albany Evening Journal publisher Thurlow Weed. They convinced Lincoln to donate his draft to the Albany Army Relief Bazaar for a fundraising raffle in February 1864 to raise money for the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which provided medicine and supplies to sick and wounded Civil War soldiers.
Gerrit Smith, a wealthy abolitionist, bought 1,000 of the 1,100 $1 raffle tickets sold and not surprisingly won the raffle, donating the document to the U.S. Sanitary Commission.
The state Legislature in Albany, where Lincoln's funeral cortege stopped after his assassination, paid $1,000 to buy the draft in 1865.
Long before there were gas-filled cases to keep the document from being destroyed by natural deterioration, it was nearly lost in the Capitol fire of 1911 and perhaps would have been if not for the heroics of Harlan Horner, an assistant to the state education commissioner.
Horner wrote an account, published in the New York Civil War Centennial Commission's 1962 booklet "New York State and The Civil War," stating that he was awoken by a phone call at 3:30 a.m. as the March 29 fire raged.
"An urgent voice said that the Capitol was burning, that the State Library on the upper floors already was in ruins, and that the fire was continuing to spread," wrote Horner, who lived in Albany's Pine Hills neighborhood two miles from the Capitol. "I dressed hurriedly and was lucky enough to catch a street-car without delay, arriving at the fire scene around 4 a.m. The southwest tower of the massive granite building had just tumbled in ...."
Horner called Dr. Andrew Sloan Draper, the education commissioner, to get the combination to the State Library safe where key documents were kept, but the commissioner wouldn't give the combination over the phone. Instead, Horner was forced to wait for Draper's son to deliver the combination in person.
"We found a large basket in the mail-room and dumped everything that was in the safe into it," Horner wrote. "Then, one at each handle, we lugged the basket across the street to a private residence — the home of John E. McElroy, at 170 State Street."
The draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, a draft of President George Washington's Farewell Address, Washington's watch and surveying instruments, the original state constitution, and signatures of the signers of the Declaration of Independence all were saved from the blaze.
Horner's action saved the draft copy of Lincoln's decree from the same fiery fate that the final Emancipation Proclamation met. That document was displayed at the Chicago Historical Society in 1871 when it was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire.
The Emancipation Proclamation draft has made public appearances over the years — from its high-tech encasement, of course. Most recently, it was displayed alongside a marked-up copy of the speech delivered by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in New York City in 1962 to mark the centennial of Emancipation.

" A young patient comes to our office for a routine check-up. The clinical examination and transillumination disclose discoloured distal areas on teeth 14 and 15. The subsequent x-ray examination reveals two distal carious lesions on such teeth. After placement of the rubber dam, careful excavation of the infected tissues and application of an enamel-dentin bonding agent, sectional matrixes are applied and we start restoring the teeth with a first 0.5 mm layer of fluid composite (Estelite Flow Quick High Flow). Afterwards, the interproximal wall is reconstructed using Estelite Asteria WE enamel and the residual cavity is restored with horizontal layers of Estelite Asteria body shade A3B. The last occlusal half millimetre is reconstructed using Estelite Asteria NE and WE enamels and stains are applied to simulate sulcus pigmentations. The restoration is polished and the dam is removed.
The characteristics of the Asteria composite make polishing fast and glossy, with excellent esthetic and mimetic results. "
To see the complete case report and follow all the steps, please look at the attachment or the details below.
The clinical examination shows two distal discoloured areas of teeth number 14 and 15 and the x-ray confirms that they are two D2 carious lesions in Lutz's classification
The lateral view hints at a more extensive carious lesion on tooth 15
The dam is applied
Access to the carious lesions is gained first occlusally and adjacent teeth are protected with metal matrix pieces while the residual interproximal walls are removed
The infected, softened dentin is removed using zirconia round burs, at low-speed and air jet cooling
The infected dentin has been completely removed, residual tissues are checked with a handheld excavator and they are hard
The undermined enamel is removed with red ring burs on a multiplier contra-angle handpiece
Interproximal margins and the cervical step are finished with diamond tips mounted onto a subsonic instrument
Cavities are finally prepared and ready to be restored
Liquid dam is applied on a small gap close to the clamp to ensure isolation during adhesion and restoration
Sectional matrixes are placed with separating rings and wedges
The selected bonding agent is applied following the producer's instructions
The bonding agent is cured with a high power light
A first, thin layer of flowable composite (Estelite Flow Quick High Flow) is applied to reduce marginal infiltration and improve the adjustment of the restoration material itself to the cervical step
Interproximal walls are sculpted with Estelite Asteria WE enamel, transforming a class II into a class I. The worsening of the cavity factor is compensated for by the flexibility of the wall itself, which is very thin
Restorations are completed by layering with dentin masses (Estelite Asteria, Body shade A3B) and with occlusal enamels (Estelite Asteria, Enamel shades: NE and WE)
Restorations are polished with abrasive discs, silicone cups and tips
Lateral view of the restoration
Restorations are glossed with felt wheels and polishing pastes

Today had to be the best day, but I keep saying that every day and then Wanaka pulls out another. Today we were commencing with filming a brand film on Mistral SUPs (Stand up paddle board's) so we had to find a good location to shoot. Jase suggested the Clutha river. The water is clear blue azur. I don't think I have ever seen water clearer and there was a surprising lack of algae on the shining stones at the bottom. It was gorgeous!
The Clutha is the second longest river in New Zealand at 338km long. It reaches from Lake Wanaka all the way to the Pacific ocean. We started at where lake Wanaka runs into the river and took it as far as Albert town where the Clutha River meets the Hawea River. Next time the Pacific ocean;-)
We inflated the paddle boards with ease on the river bank. The journey was going to take around 40 minutes and I would follow and shoot alongside on my mountain bike along a biking path that followed the snaking scenic river. You can view the track here:www.lakewanaka.co.nz. I had a camera over each shoulder; one to film with and one to photograph with both with different lenses on, plus a back pack with more lenses and a tripod. I swear I am getting shorter with the weight I constantly carry on my back! It was tricky on the uphill!
Jase, Tori and Flossie floated down the river with the stunning surrounding scenery. I shot through trees and clearings from the side and from the front further on getting some lovely angles. It was Flossies first time on a river float but she conquered the rapids. She even started doing head stands on the paddle board – but fell in a few times, much to the amusement of us all.
At the end of the float, Beanie joined in. She has been on bridesmaid duties beforehand. I did a few more shots with her and shot some scenic shots along the way. I was envious of them all in the water and wished I had my underwater housing with me. I'm certain Jase has housing though as I have been hearing of his filming escapades with the navy. Jase is one of a kind! So tomorrow I think we will hit the river again.
We headed over to Hamish and Hanna's place for a drink. Hamish and Hannah own the amazing thermal underwear brand that is growing massive in popularity all the time. If you haven't seen it yet, then have a look here – http://www.monsroyale.com/
After about half an hour I got the pleasant surprise of Si Guthrie turned up. An old friend from Verbier and talented and courageous (or crazy) base jumper, Si is now back in NZ and settled with the most amazing girl, Abbey Lewis. I hadn't seen him for a few years. He too was really surprised and it was really great catching up. We all headed out for Sushi and then a game of pool over at Woody's. I had a streak of luck and won every game. Don't know how that happened! Maybe everyone else were playing extremely badly. Another day finished off well. Thanks guys!

Estrogen Receptors Pathway
Estrogen Receptor Pathway: Estrogen receptors (ERs) are steroid hormone receptors important in development, growth, and reproduction. ERs play a large role in female organ cancers, especially breast cancer. ERs are activated by the hormone estrogen. Two classes of ER exist: nuclear estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) and membrane estrogen receptors (mERs), the mostly G protein-coupled receptors. Once activated by estrogen, the ER is able to translocate into the nucleus and bind to specific oestrogen receptor response elements (ER-RE), to regulate the activity of different genes. As hormone receptors, ERs are important in sexual maturation and gestation, including normal cell growth, and the development of the reproductive, central nervous and skeletal systems and cancel development.
GenTarget developed a set of reporting lentivirus to monitor the activity of Estrogen-receptor regulated signal transduction pathways in cultured cells. Those reporting lentivirus has a luminescent report or a fluorescent report under a minimal promoter that embedded with optimized tandem repeats of estrogen receptor response element (ER-RE) sequence motif (5′- AGGTCAcagTGACCT). When estrogen receptor binds to estrogen receptor-RE sequence, the downstream reporter is expressed as the result of activation for the minimal CMV promoter (mCMV). The reporter's signal can be easily and rapidly readout via plate assays (luciferase assay or by fluorescent microscope or FACS sorter).
Those reporting lentivirus also contains a constitutively expressed fluorescent selection marker or an antibiotic selection marker under the RSV promoter, which makes it easier to select the stably infected signal reporting cells (to generate pathway specific sensor cell lines), or provides internal reference for virus transduction efficiency when a fluorescent marker is under the RSV promoter. See core lentivector cassette below.
The premade, ready-to-use reporter lentivirus provides a much easier tool to monitor the activity of estrogen receptor regulated signaling pathways in virtually any mammalian cell type. It also allows to generate your own reporting cell line in your desired cell type for study or screen of pathway specific gene-knockdown, over-expression, or chemical / drug/protein treatment in the cell based assay.

This project is based mainly on Masirah Island and focuses on loggerhead turtles. In 2013, an initial review of 2008-2012 loggerhead nesting data revealed the first indication of a dramatic decline in Loggerhead turtle nesting on Masirah Island, with a reduction in nesting females by approximately two thirds from the pre-1980 estimates. The recent estimated numbers of Loggerhead turtles nesting on Masirah Island are further confirming these alarming figures. Around 11'000 female turtles are estimated to have visited the island in 2014, compared to an estimation of 30'000 to 40'000 females in the late 70s. The major threats impacting both the habitat and population numbers are from land-use disturbances such as extensive coastal development, beach driving and light pollution, and sea-based disturbances such as fisheries by-catch and entanglement in ghost nets (discarded or abandoned fishing gear). An assessment of the Loggerhead sea turtle was completed in 2015 by the Marine Turtle Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (a global network of sea turtle experts), and the North West Indian Ocean Loggerhead subpopulation has been assigned as critically endangered, thus facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. This subpopulation nests in Oman and Yemen and this assessment was attributed to the reported nesting decline on Masirah Island.In addition, the Masirah Loggerhead population suffered from the impacts of cyclonic storm waves and surge in 2015 with the Ashoba Cyclone, removing significant numbers of nests laid prior to cyclones and compromising available nesting habitat post cyclone. Continued monitoring will be able to prove whether the highest nesting density beaches on Masirah Island will continue to provide the highest levels of recruitment. The preliminary scientific findings on the significant drop of loggerhead populations on Masirah Island were presented to MECA and to the International Sea Turtle Symposium (ISTS) in Turkey in April 2015.
In addition to research, the following programs are included in the project:Capacity Building in the Local Community:In order to assist in research on Masirah Island, ESO has been training three full-time local field assistants (FAs) over the last 4 years. These FAs work on ESO turtle projects during the nesting season and assist in both the Renaissance Whale and Dolphin Project as well as ESO's Egyptian vulture project during the off-season. In order to ensure sustainability of this program, ESO has a permanent office in Masirah from which the FAs work.Community Outreach and Public Engagement:Several community outreach activities are planned throughout the year to raise awareness on the importance of marine turtles, notably: • Awareness presentations given to the general public and students on Masirah Island, emphasizing on the threats to marine turtles and their habitats;• Presentations on marine turtles given to marine science students at the Sultan Qaboos University;• Awareness workshops on sustainable fishing
All whale, dolphin and turtle sightings (whether alive or dead) are important to our work. In case of a sighting, please

Metro will keep its current hours for at least one more year after the District's board members split Thursday on an effort to block the change.
Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans, who is also a D.C. Councilmember, voted to support keeping current hours after pleas from Maryland, Virginia and federal board members and from Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld.
Supporters of the current hours say they provide additional time needed for preventive maintenance work that had not been done before, and that a return to previous service hours would cost too much.
The resolution was approved 7-1 Thursday, with only D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's board appointee Corbett Price voting no.
Metrorail will continue to run:
- 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday;
- 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday;
- 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday;
- 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday
The hours will be in effect through at least July 1, 2020.

Hey John,
Not sure I responded to your report, but thanks for doing that...the moderator got it down pretty quickly.
Forum Changes - your opinion wanted
JohnCBoukis replied to Hotfoot's topic in School Questions/General Discussion"Racing" could refer to racing techniques, but I think it means discussions of races and riders. If so, I would use this opportunity to rename it to something more meaningful like "Racing League", or "Professional & Amateur Racing Leagues", or such. I do not feel strongly about the whole naming list. The Techniques forum is the big one for me to revisit and search. I will be ecstatic with any improvement in research capability.
Forum Changes - your opinion wanted
JohnCBoukis replied to Hotfoot's topic in School Questions/General DiscussionI do not see the "sort" option until after I do a search. It would be nice to set the sort up front rather than as a second step (I could be missing something here.) If there are choices for the default sorting of search results then I would prefer oldest posts to newest posts. Many searches today prioritize the relevance of the results. However, if you can accurately group posts by topic and return a high percentage of relevant results, the "relevant" part may already be taken care of. Also, the built in forum search engines tend to be terrible. When I search this site today I many times use a search engine, and put in "site:forums.superbikeschool.com TOPIC HERE". That issue might be solved with meta tags or other changes. Otherwise you may be able to insert a search engine plugin or apply a script which does this same thing

JohnCBoukis replied to Hotfoot's topic in School Questions/General Discussion"Welcome to Pages" still shows up for me. Thanks for the effort. If this forum software has the capability of article categories or meta tags, those tools might help group existing articles with minimal effort.

Forum Changes - your opinion wanted
JohnCBoukis replied to Hotfoot's topic in School Questions/General DiscussionCan you delete or hide the "Welcome to Pages" article? I have no security access to enter it and so it will show in perpetuity to us users as an unread article. As new content appears I navigate via the "unread content" link. So for brand new content, the organization is moot for me. To your point about using the site as a reference, I revisit content just like periodically reading TOTW. I would love to have the entire history of technique articles organized into categories such as throttle, braking steering, road conditions, etc. so that there would be an inherent helpful path, like reading through a book. But since articles tend to wander a bit and cross over to different topics, I understand the reality that online forums do not really lend themselves to that level of organization. In that light I think the current form works just fine.
timing of steering input and chassis attitude
JohnCBoukis replied to jcw's topic in Cornering and TechniquesYou must believe me when I say that I was extremely cautious before asking about this, painfully aware of how the topic of steering has generated an infinite volume of counterproductive babble. Jaybird, I do have potential riding conditions. I might even test this today. I have tried the push-pull method. In my initial attempts I inadvertently generated excessive grip/tension in the pulling hand. I find that feeling the pressure of pulling on the throttle was particularly disconcerting and made me question if I was altering the throttle (I do not think I was, I think it was a mental block, but I also shudder to think of potential problems that I may generate with the more sensitive throttle on a race replica.) Also, I read all of Hotfoot's advice with enthusiasm and she provided this: http://forums.superbikeschool.com/topic/2856-countersteering-push-or-pull/ "Having said that, I try to use only pushing when riding hard on the track, because I can get a more consistent input using a push with pivot steering. If I try to pull, I am more inclined to yank on the bar and get a bit of a wobble at the end of the input." Admittedly somewhat uninitiated, but with the above input so far, it seems counterintuitive to me that one would steer more accurately by introducing two hands into the process that a single hand could otherwise accomplish. It is most helpful for me to hang onto what you said Dylan, that you have witnessed every combination of how riders address bar pressure.
timing of steering input and chassis attitude
JohnCBoukis replied to jcw's topic in Cornering and TechniquesDylan, I have only found fleeting statements in TOTW where Keith writes that one can use pulling of the bar when steering. Can you expound a little on the topic? Is there a need to become skilled at push-pull steering, particularly if pivot steering is working well?
Is there a vacuum synchronization on this bike and has it been performed regularly? An imbalance in vacuum between the two cylinders will exaggerate the V-engine's poor off-idle response.
I did not think much about the fact that you were perfectly attached still, but should have. Here is a scenario: You are turning left but now countersteering up and come across the spring. It nails the outside of the front tire, perhaps lodging underneath, forcing the wheel to go hard left. That would countersteer you into the ground on the right. You would have perceived the sensation of a severe steering jerk methinks. Does this sound plausible? Is there any evidence of impact damage on that front tire or wheel?
I am no expert, just a rider. Since no one has responded as of this writing, I will happily chime in. If the rear slides out and continues sliding unabated, this will result in a relatively slow lowside, the same that you expected. If the rear begins to slide even for a moment, then regains traction, that can generate a rotational torque that flips the bike outward in a couple of milliseconds, resulting in a highside. That event is so fast and powerful that once it is initiated there is no recovery. You pointed out several traction hazards from that day. If too much throttle exceeds the available traction: Once the rear starts spinning, keeping steady on the throttle may keep the tire spinning, allowing one some chance of recovery as the bike sheds forward speed, while countersteering the bike upright. Alternatively once the slide has begun, certain actions like shutting the throttle quickly or using the rear brake can stop the rear tire spin, resulting in the regaining of traction and the bike flipping outward. I think that giant spring could have hit the bike in a couple different ways causing a momentary loss then nearly instantaneous recovery of traction. It could have hit the rear tire or acted like a kickstand hanging due to a band spring launching the bike upward briefly. Is the spring painted? If you could find such paint on the bike, that forensic evidence might be helpful. Here is a video of a highside. After the slide begins we can hear the rider chop the throttle, the tire chirp, the throttle rises then chops, the tire chirps a second time, then the highside. The sound and view of the erratic throttle and the tire gaining traction while moving sideways are the hints of why the bike then violently flips. https://youtu.be/JwlZiArfnYg
Steer for the Rear - Ch13 of TOTWII
JohnCBoukis replied to Jaybird180's topic in Cornering and TechniquesThe question is difficult because the problems are not obvious to me, some of the riders appear steady on the controls, and also some of these appear to be going uphill (although that could be the camera perspective) which would add helpful load to the rear wheel. This has me thinking about the bicycle coasting question. Are several of these riders coasting from too little throttle? You asked for force nomenclature, the rear would be unloaded, generating less friction than the centripetal force of the turn. The front wheel would have excess weight and thus adequate traction.
Steer for the Rear - Ch13 of TOTWII
JohnCBoukis replied to Jaybird180's topic in Cornering and Techniques1) "Would a unicycle corner better that a bicycle? Why?" A unicycle steers more sharply than a bicycle because of the bicycle's wheelbase. Of note is that the unicycle is countersteering and propelling from the same tire. 2) "Do you believe that a motorcycle doing a wheelie becomes a motorized unicycle? Please, explain." Not exactly. See #1. The wheelied motorcycle at speed, arguably because while it can "wobble" left or right, it cannot be accurately steered. The motorcycle must come back down to be countersteered from the front wheel. 4) "What forces are acting over the contact patches of a bicycle that is cornering and simultaneously coasting?" Jaybird mentioned centripetal force. Then there is the vertical component of the rider & bicycle weight. In this situation the friction on the bicycle tire contact patches is extremely small. I am most curious about this particular question and what we are supposed to understand from it. 5) "Regarding turning a motorcycle along a corner, should the lean angle be considered a consequence or a cause? Please, explain." I am thinking that "corner" in this case refers to a given, fixed path. If yes, for a given path on a given motorcycle at a given speed the lean angle is a consequence. I am not sure if I read this or came up with it in isolation: On a centrifuge I think of the arm that connects the motor and test tubes as the friction of the tires. The angle the tubes will take is a consequence of the motor speed, the arc, and the weight of the test tubes. Just the same I think of the motorcycle lean angle as a consequence of the speed, weight, and corner arc.
Dirt vs Asphalt riding styles and technique
JohnCBoukis replied to Jaybird180's topic in Cornering and Techniques1) Why do dirt bikers push the bike beneath them? "Because they can." Why do they not hang off? For what purpose would they do this? Can one flip a road bike side to side merely by shifting their weight? No, but one can do this laying the dirt bike beneath them, so this is actually an advantage in turning for the dirt bike. If you began a 180° from a crawl or a stop as dirt bikers do, this actually necessitates putting the bike underneath you. So I would say slow speeds and extreme turns physically necessitate this. To your point, dirt riders could hang off with their weight still on the outside peg, versus standing vertically on the outside peg like they do. However, that would be more work than merely laying the bike underneath, and their bodies would then be hanging out in traffic, traffic which is close or already colliding with them; more physical effort, with less safety, and for what purpose? There are lessons on this forum on how hanging off gains ground clearance. This is not a core problem on a dirt bike that has suspension travel designed to handle 5-story landings. One simply does not care about keeping a dirt bike more straight up. 2) You exclude the rut from your question but ruts and general degradation that quickly build up after the race start, and steeply banked turns are going to dictate many of the best paths on a given motocross track before other choices come into play. Any single gouge in the track surface is subject to directing the rider to another path that has more traction. A lot of motocross is correct obstacle execution at the correct speed (which is not always the fastest speed.) For the remaining rider path options I am going to make an uneducated guess that on a short motocross track that is only 5-8 meters wide, at speeds that are slow compared to road racing, the obstacle and turn execution will be much more contributory to the race times than an inside-out movement would be. Lastly, many obstacles such as whoops or jumps are approached best at a right angle. If one had to approach the road straightaway at a 90° angle, that limitation would completely throw away the path that clips the apex. Someone here described dirt biking as "point and shoot" and I think that says it concisely. The dirt has stops and starts and right angles but the road dictates a smooth, turn-interconnecting racing line. Thus they each have specific techniques which serve them.
