#Unexpectedly: Jobless Applications Soar
Gee, look at that! new jobless claims soar well above expectations, even WITH seasonal holiday hiring. Think this is bad? Just wait until we see January 2013's numbers. Don't say I didn't tell you so.
Zero Hedge:
Get ready for the "it's all Sandy's fault" barrage, because the post-reelection status quo sure will desperately need it today. The latest initial claims data posted a multi-year high 104,548 surge in weekly NSA claims from 361,800 to 466,348, and even the Seasonally adjusted number soaring from 361K to 439K on expectations of a 375K print. In other words, a complete disaster for any economic data bulls. What is truly amusing is that the same Wall Street "experts" who set expectations were unable to foresee the Sandy effect that every "macrotourist" on Twitter apparently is so very aware of. Also, it is apparently also "Sandy's fault" (now that the Bush excuse is back in retirement) that the prior week's claims were revised from 355K to 361K. Basically, just as we said 3 weeks ago, ignore every negative data point: it is Sandy's fault. However, for the snapback, when there actually is good news to be had, well, "four more years." Finally, to all the Sandy apologists: is the logic here that: if Hurricane, then Fire everyone? Because that is what is implied. To summarize: a hurricane is good for GDP (lots of broken windows), but any actually negative news (surge in firings) is perfectly expected.
There's more:
Just gets better: Hawaii, Oregon and Puerto Rico didn't report claims data, causing the Labor Department to estimate their totals.

FTW:California and Virginia provided their own estimates.

Hope and Change: 900 Applicants for 42 Positions
This is Hope and Change in NC — 42 openings at a Big Lots! Store in Fuquay-Varina, NC and over 900 applicants.
News and Observer via Cary news with emphasis added:
FUQUAY-VARINA – Jimmy Wilson hung a "store open" banner across the new Big Lots on Lakestone Commons Avenue, and word spread like wildfire that the town had gotten a new discount store.
Across town, Wilson's wife was fielding calls from friends and neighbors asking if the rumors were true. By the time store manager Wilson opened the doors for the first time at 10 a.m. Oct. 9, customers were lined up at the door.
And Big Lots hasn't even had its grand opening yet. It's scheduled for Friday.
"Our customer count was four times higher than anticipated," Wilson said. "I think everybody loves Big Lots. People have been waiting for this store to open. We have stores in Garner and Cary, but people are tired of having to drive out there."
People were also looking for jobs. Wilson said he received about 900 applications for 42 positions.
He figured the large number of applicants was an indication of the economy's slow recovery, considering all he did to advertise for the job openings was put up a table in front of the store a few months ago.
Applicants ranged from the unemployed to others with part-time retail jobs and some with no sales experience, he said. Continue reading

Thinking about hiking up Overlook from Meads Road and continuing to the Devil's Kitchen Lean to area for the night over the holiday weekend. Haven't been to this area in a while. I remember there was a nice camping area kind of up behind the lean to.
1. I think there is a Monastery at the beginning of the Overlook Trail by Meads Rd. Is permission needed to park here overnight?
2. Water near the lean to...I think there is a stream running right in front of the lean to. Has anyone been up there recently? Is is flowing? From the map, looks like there's also a source between Overlook and Devil's Kitchen. Is that reliable?
Any other tips for the area are appreciated.

The federal government announced a delay in the "Play or Pay" provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This provision will require businesses to offer health care plans to their full-time employees or face costly penalties, depending on how many full-time employees they have. Don't wait until this mandate takes effect. Now is the time to discover what impacts this provision will have on your business and prepare for the coming change instead of delaying these difficult decisions. The more prepared you are, the more time and money you'll save down the road.
Whether a business is required to offer health coverage is dependent on the number of full-time employees. The definition of a full-time employee is that they work at least an average of 30 hours per week. For 2015, an employer can choose any consecutive period of at least six months during 2014 to determine how many full-time employees they have. However, in 2016, an employer must average the total number of full-time employees for each of the 12 months in 2015 to determine their company's status and what impacts "Play or Pay" will have on them. Here are the impacts, depending on your company's size and the number of full-time employees:
Once you determine how many full-time employees you have and you know that you will have to provide coverage, the health plan you offer will also have to meet affordability and minimum value standards. Keep these rules in mind when determining coverage plans:
Every business, no matter what size, will have to follow the Employer Information Reporting Guidelines and complete paperwork. The final regulations were issued on March 10th and many people anticipate that compliance with reporting requirements will be a daunting task for businesses of any size. Here are the specifics, depending on company size:
To understand full calculation information and to learn how this rule applies to your company, you can contact our office to speak with an expert.
Ask yourself these questions to help guide you in your decision-making process: How does offering health insurance affect your employee satisfaction and retention? What is the impact on your bottom line? What are your industry peers doing? As with most new compliance laws, the details are complicated. Contact us soon and let us help you prepare for the inevitable changes so that your company can confidently navigate through this transition.

Cats, dogs and pigs direction no longer be guinea pigs.
Late greatest month, the last medical school in the U.S. and Canada to exercise live animals to teach surgical skills to students — the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga — announced it would stop the practice.
In an email sent to the Physicians Committee in opposition to Responsible Medicine, which has fought the acting out for years, Robert C. Fore, the interim dean for the medical school at UT, wrote that "potent immediately" the college will no longer conversion to an act live pigs to teach surgical skills to students. Instead they resoluteness use simulators of human bodies that have power to bleed, breathe, blink and have lifelike organs and skin.
"It's a watershed significance," John Pippin, a retired cardiologist and monitor of academic affairs for PCRM, told Washington Post. "For anyone who went to medical school in years past it was a usage of passage, often a disturbing ceremonial formulary of passage to use a dog or cat or one more animal in medical courses."
A Human Patient Simulator, a computerized mannequin developed to sham the human body in a good for wounds situation.
According to a press absolution by PCRM, pigs, cats, dogs and other animals receive been used to teach physiology, pharmacology, and surgical skills. Students were instructed to use the animals to practice surgical procedures or dart in them with various drugs to overseer responses. After being used for such training procedures, the animals were killed.
Yet, not everything schools used this training technique. The exempt also notes that none of the 44 surveyed healing schools opened after 1979 used live animals, yet the majority of medical schools did appliance them as recently as 1994.
By 2011, alone seven accredited medical schools in the U.S. used live animals towards such practices, according to The Baltimore Sun.

UT's ban of using live animals follows Johns Hopkins' May 18 advertisement that they would stop the exercise because "almost all medical schools obtain stopped using live animals" and "that the continued is not essential."
Yet, the university stressed that it did not tend hitherward to this decision lightly. In incident, in February, legislation to prevent practice of live or dead animals in sanatory training with a $1,000 fine for those who broke it was proposed in Maryland — and it cited Johns Hopkins in the place of still using live animals. The legislation died in committee, but that that didn't stop faculty members from the prestigious Baltimore-based therapeutic school from defending the practice.
"There is a realism and a psychological overlay that's associated with taking care of a active thing that's not present while performing a task with a simulator," Dr. Henry Fessler, each assistant dean for curriculum for the sanatory school, said during a hearing, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.
Yet, thanks to Johns Hopkins and UT banning the actual performance, that argument that argument is after this inconsequential.
"It gets animals off of harms way and it allows sanatory school students to learn they have power to be great doctors without harming animals," Pippin told The Washington Post. "The most wise you can say many thousands of animals a year that would be seized of been killed to train medical students be inclined not be."

My First Day of School Questionnaire
Sunday, August 24, 2014
Is it just me, or is there something about this school year that makes this back-to-school season particularly exhausting? I'm so tired and slept so hard last night that I woke up and thought my nightstand was a Viking and threw a pillow at it.
Anyway, school starts this week for me, so yesterday I found myself needing to make a first day of school questionnaire. You know, something to keep the kids busy on those first few minutes while you're out in the hall wrangling lost 6th graders and unworking lockers.
In past years, I've made them more "real" get-to-know-you questions, like "Tell me about your family," and "What are your interests?", but this year:
a) I am moving up with same kids from last year
b) Even if I didn't know them already, I think there's something inorganic and maybe even intrusive about asking kids, especially from the population I teach, to talk about their home life or answer personal questions with someone they've just met
c) I like finding out about them in conversation better anyway
d) I think you can find out a lot about people by asking them disarmingly weird questions
So, thus was born this first-day-of-school questionnaire:
1. What is your name?
2. What do you wish people had to call you?
3. Which do you feel have a better chance of taking over the world: zombies or pirates? Justify your answer.
4. Would you rather find yourself in the world of Harry Potter (during the last two books) or The Hunger Games? Justify your answer.
5. If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? (You get an entree, side, drink, and dessert.)
6. Would you rather be attacked by one horse-sized duck, or one hundred duck-sized horses? Justify your answer.
7. Draw a visual representation of your answer to number 6 in the space below to the best of your ability.
8. Would you rather have the ability to fly or read minds?
9. What is your spirit animal?
10. On the back of this paper, write a list of everything that makes you happy. If you do not want to write a list of everything that makes you happy, write a list of everything you can think of that is the color orange.
Here's to the weirdest year ever.
What would you add to this questionnaire? Can you even get on my weird level?
P.S. Please feel free to steal/share/tweak/add and use for your first day!

I actually love this idea. Stealing (with different questions, of course). I think what I will learn about them as people will be SO MUCH MORE REVEALING.ReplyDelete
Oh, my word. Can I steal this?ReplyDelete
- Teacher KnoxAugust 24, 2014 at 8:03 AM
I love this! I hope you don't mind if I use these questions with my kids. :)ReplyDelete
Love it! Could you please email me the typed copy? I am way too tired to retype it. firstname.lastname@example.com
Well, this beats the heck out of mine. I like it A LOT. I ask them to describe themselves in 4 words and that usually proves interesting. I'm not sure that I can even add to this list but... I'd like to know what movie really makes them laugh. What makes you laugh tells me a lot about you. :)ReplyDelete
thank you for sharing this! i was going back and forth between a traditional questionnaire and one more similar to this...i'm in a similar situation, having the same kids i had last year and i just want to know more than their favorite color this year. i think i will throw both out the window and write my own!ReplyDelete
I'm in awe! I aspire to your level of weird. I did a smaller version, somewhat inspired by James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio, asking a sound they love/hate, favorite and least favorite words, an occupation they would never want to try, etc. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!ReplyDelete
Here's one: Which would you rather do without: your cell phone or an arm? Justify your answer.ReplyDelete
I apologize if this posts twice. I clicked "preview" and my comment seemed to disappear.
When I taught 7th grade I would make a big deal about how hard the transition might be for the kids. Then I would tell them I had developed a list of tips to help them, put them in groups and have them read a list similar to that above. Within minutes the whole room would explode in laughter. GREAT way to start the year.
Weird wins anytime! I ask my high school students questions like "What is your favourite (Canadian spelling :) cheese?" "Who would win in a battle to the death - Batman or Superman?" :Which teacher is a Chuck Norris wannabe?" I also like to ask them who they would prefer I contact if there is a problem - that way no surprises for anyone. Happy first week at school!ReplyDelete
Amazing!!! Can I steal?ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read the greatest hits of responses.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2014 at 1:15 PM
I do something similar just to get my students used to writing in complete sentences and then discussing their answers together. It's interesting when we find commonalities where kids assumed there were none. Many of my students struggle with English. Many of these questions are from The Kids' Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.ReplyDelete
1. I like to fall asleep to the sound of…
2. The best pet I ever had was a …

Love this!! Totally sharing with my team!ReplyDelete

Just read your post and decided to scrap my boring questionnaire for one more like yours - less than 12 hours before school starts. Is this a sign it's going to be a crazy year?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the inspiration, and good luck tomorrow!

I'd like to add that a horse sized goose or ten geese sized horses would be more scary and weird, because we have all had a goose go all Bruce Lee on us. Ducks are just sort of there. But I like where you are going there.ReplyDelete
I added 5, 8, and the " I was surprised once when" questions to mine and have been laughing hysterically for the last 20 minutes.ReplyDelete
Surprised: "when a bird pooped on my head", "i beat all the boys in my rock climbing class", "i crashed into a parked car on my bike and i got really hurt and broke my helmet."
My girls have some high brow appetites: flank steak, creme brûlée, soft shell crab, goat cheese salads, lots of chocolate chip cookies
Thank you for this!

I teach high school and my kids would love this! These are the weird kind of things I like to know about my kids, it's what makes them special. I think this would even be fun after a tough piece of literature, or as a get thinking piece for creative writing, even a plan left for a sub (the kids would be so excited with this....(for some reason I always feel I have to leave massive amounts of work when I'm out).ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 27, 2014 at 4:44 PM
I gave this to my freshmen! Had a few students say, "Uh...Miss, why are the questions so weird?" HAHA! It was awesome. There was a SERIOUS debate in my 7 period (Pre-AP), about whether or not they'd rather be attacked by 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses. Quite humorous. Even debated it at home. My cousin decided that she would rather be attacked by 100 duck sized horses because they'd be so cute, it wouldn't even matter. THANKS for the great questions. Love your blog. One of my co-workers and I talk about your blog all the time. :)ReplyDelete

Pure awesome! I added- Draw a picture of the perfect sandwich. Provide labels if necessary. Looking forward to reading the answers!ReplyDelete
I am a Sunday School teacher of 5th grade boys and just found your blog through Mrs. 4444. I think I'll be updating my little get-to-know you questionnaire after seeing this. I'm a new follower now.ReplyDelete
Absolutely just snagged several of these questions (and the one about cheese!) for my high school kids... Might as well start the year explaining this isn't a typical science classroom... Thank you for sharing your weirdness! It's fab.ReplyDelete
All my questionnaires end with "Is there anything you want to know about me?"ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 2, 2014 at 3:32 PM
Thank you for these questions!! I teach at an inner city middle school in Detroit, and I used some of these questions today (our first day). It made some of my toughest looking cookies laugh, and the zombie vs. pirate debate occurred many times throughout the day. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
PS I'm a huge fan of your blog and its so much more relatable to me than any of the cutesy 'teaching in la-la-land where everything is wonderful and majestic' teaching blogs that seem to make up the majority. Big Fan!
I used this for my 8th graders on day 3, once we'd done all the required handbook and back to school stuff from administration...they LOVED it! Every teacher that came in the room during class was asked the horse/duck question and was not allowed to leave until they justified their answer. Thanks for a great laugh and a new favorite blog!ReplyDelete

I teach high school chemistry. As part of my All About You survey, I ask them to name a cartoon character that they would describe themselves as/like, then post a collage on the front of my desk.ReplyDelete
This is amazing. Can I retroactively give this to my kids, even though they've been in school for a month already?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2014 at 6:10 AM
As a sub, I would love it if you left this for me to give the kids! I saw some of the answers for the first day of school questionnaires and they broke my heart. One kid didn't know his birthday or phone number and he had never been on vacation.ReplyDelete
Its almost putting more of the focus towards understanding of the different objects that are considered to be of most importance for the college students and it will also help them to prove their skills.ReplyDelete
I liked your blog, Take the time to visit the me and say that the change in design and meniu?ReplyDelete

There's always something going on the local community and we are proud to announce two more new activities for 2017, the Glee club and The Lights project!
Get involved now to make sure you secure a place.
A great night was had by all who attended on Friday night, over 200 people came to the Red Carpet Gala Event which was held at the Middleton Masonic Hall. Special guests included Rochdale's lord mayor and Labour MP Liz Mcinnes. In additional to the recognition of all the fantastic work conducted by local volunteers, £1000 was raised for the Lee Rigby foundation by the simple but effective introduction of Martin Lynches Magic hat! Martins hat has become famous throughout the local area and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for various causes to help local famalies and charities. Lee Rigbys family was also present at the event and Lee's stepfather even took a few moments on the microphone to give an update on how the money raised is spent. 100% of all monies raised for The Lee Rigby foundation goes into support and advice for bereaved families and support for injured veterans, including those suffering with PTSD., none of the money raised is used to pay staff, which is an amazing achievement by its' self and demonstrates the hard work and commitment of everyone involved. The award certificate for the volunteers is shown below, and naturally, after the awards, it was food and a stint of dancing! Thank you to everyone who attended, your work makes a real and lasting difference to so many local people.

When placing an order...
How many servings?
I will ask you how many you intend on serving.
Delivery date?
What day/date and time do you need it? I can usually have it ready for you the day or night before your event. To confirm your order on my calendar, I require 50% down on orders $100 or over at time of booking with the balance due 2 weeks prior to delivery. Cash or checks (made out to Brenda Donley) accepted.
Delivery/Pick Up?
We will arrange delivery or pick up. I will deliver wedding cakes for free within 20 miles of Lake Isabella. Outside of that 20 mile radius (one way) there is a $25 delivery fee within 50 miles (one way). Anything beyond that we will discuss.
What you need to know about icing...
Cakes and Cupcakes - I don't make fondant covered cakes...I use buttercream. As you will notice in the pictures (click on Delightful Decorated Cakes) I can smooth frosted cakes to resemble fondant if desired. Sometimes I use fondant to add decorative pieces or accents to buttercream cakes. I use a mixture of vanilla, creme bouquet and almond flavoring in my buttercream recipe. Please let me know if I should omit any of these flavorings because of allergies.
Sugar Cookies - I use royal icing...the kind that hardens.
Size/Shape/Sheet or Tiered?
Do you prefer square, round, heart or oval cakes? Tiers? A doll cake? FYI...each tier is 2 layers except for sheet cakes which are one layer. I will help determine the sizes of tiered cakes based on the number of servings you desire. And we can make adjustments if needed as we work through your order. You can get ideas on my page "Delightful Decorated Cakes"...just a click away or send me your own ideas and I'll tell you how I can help you out!
Cupcakes or sugar cookies?

Leadership anchors are your "rules of engagement" that govern your leadership style.
This thought comes from Liz Cornish, author of Hit the Ground Running: A Woman's Guide to Success for the First 100 Days on the Job.
Defining Your Anchor
For some, anchors are a personal vision, a set of personal values and guiding principles that govern daily interaction, says Cornish. For others, it is an explicit set of behaviors. She also suggests that defining and communicating your own leadership anchor(s) inspires confidence and allows your stakeholders to envision what their world is going to be like under your leadership.
I suggest that you self-reflect on your leadership experience, brainstorm the values and principles that guide your own leadership style, and narrow it down to a single anchor which defines and guides you as a leader.
I believe that having a single leadership anchor is more effective because it forces you to define yourself with one simple statement and, such as with any brand, it serves as a capsule or tagline for your personal leadership brand.
Establishing Your Anchor
The central principle that I established for myself several years ago and which continues to serve as my non-negotiable leadership anchor is:
"If you go on doing what you've always done, you'll go on getting what you've always got." ~Warren Bennis
In order to achieve continual growth as a leader and personally, my anchor reminds me that I must regularly re-invent myself, and I must take risks. I realize that the only way to advance is by acting, not by contemplating.
Refining Your Anchor
The following additional quotes are closely tied to my personal leadership anchor, and will always motivate me. They capture the key elements of my own leadership and growth philosophy, and guide the conduct of my interpersonal and professional life for the foreseeable future:
- "If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise." ~Robert Fritz
- "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." ~Michelangelo
- "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." ~T.S. Eliot
Note: I chose to use a quote to define my own leadership anchor, and included some supporting quotes for self-motivation, but your own leadership anchor does not need to make use of any quotes. However, I feel that having a few meaningful quotes to support your anchor is a good idea. Regardless, it's your anchor!
What is your personal leadership anchor—the guiding principle that defines you as a leader? Do you know? If not, what can you do to uncover, or discover, or create one? I would love to hear your thoughts!

It can't be easy wearing a fur coat all summer, and dogs can't tell us when they're feeling the heat. It's up to us to watch them closely for signs of heatstroke.
Back to top
Jonathan Goodall
/ 12 August 2015
( 13 July 2017 )
It can't be easy wearing a fur coat all summer, and dogs can't tell us when they're feeling the heat. It's up to us to watch them closely for signs of heatstroke.
Dogs release heat through the evaporation of saliva on their tongues, so watch out for excessive panting
Lethargic, unresponsive behaviour, bloodshot eyes, a red tongue, excessive panting and drooling are all signs that your dog is overheating. Dogs do not sweat through their skin, but only through the pads of their feet. Panting releases heat through the evaporation of moisture (saliva) from their extended tongues.
Find out about Saga Pet Insurance
Most dogs begin to show signs of overheating at temperatures between 81 and 85 degrees but some are more susceptible. The short noses and flat faces of brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breeds like bulldogs, pugs and Pekingese inhibit efficient panting, and thus cooling. Breeds with undercoats, like German shepherds, Pomeranians and huskies are also more prone to overheating. Small dogs overheat quicker than large ones, with older, overweight dogs more at risk.
In the heat, think feet. Cooling your dog's paws (see above) is always a good starting point. Take them paddling or set up a tub of water they can stand in. If you spray them with water make sure it gets under the belly, between the legs and under the tail (where the major blood vessels are located), not just on their back.
Wrap them up in, or let them lie on wet towels but cool them gradually with cool, not cold, water to avoid causing shock. Some pet shops sell gel-filled cooling mats for indoor cooling without a watery mess.
Not even for a few minutes with the windows open. You might get delayed and car interiors can soar to dangerously high – even fatal – temperatures in minutes. It's not illegal to leave dogs in parked cars but owners will be prosecuted if an animal is seen to be suffering. When driving, leave windows slightly open or use the air-conditioning.
Find out about travelling in the car with your dog
In hot weather it's time to ease back on the exercise, and maybe manage your dog's exertions by keeping him on a leash. Before 8am and after 5pm are best for walkies; no self-respecting wolf would go out hunting in the mid-day sun.
Hot pavements, road surfaces and sand can seriously burn a dog's pads. If you can't hold your palm on a pavement for 15 seconds it's too hot. Doggie boots can be a pad-saving accessory for city-dwelling mutts in the summertime.
It's painfully obvious but especially important. Plastic bottles with attached drinking trays, available from pet shops, are great for walks and car journeys. Plop a few ice cubes into the water bowl at home. Freeze low-salt beef or chicken broth in ice-cube trays for a cool treat but give them only a few at a time, as too many can shock the system. In hot weather water and food should be changed regularly.
Longhaired breeds might benefit from a summer trim but never cut the fur shorter than one inch as this will increase the chances of sunburn. Double coated dogs can have their undercoat thinned.
Even outside dogs should spend the hottest time of day indoors.
When they are outdoors, provide a shady spot and a space for them to dig. Dogs dig dens to stay cool in.

My ties to the newest installment in the Ghostbusters franchise run deeper than an affinity for the paranormal or the fact that Ray Parker Jr.'s theme song is on my running playlist. In fact, I worked as both an on-set production assistant on and an actor in the 2016 reboot. Before that experience, I grew up admiring the original films. But when it comes to fan-favorite franchises, everyone has a personal narrative of experience.
Living in an age of social media, filmmakers know that Internet comments sections can be dangerous. However, the release of promotional material for 2016's Ghostbusters has prompted an unforeseen outburst of opposition. In addition to the first trailer breaking records for most-disliked trailer on YouTube, platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have become breeding grounds for hateful remarks under the protection of online anonymity.

Safety of Nuclear Power Plants
Safety is taken very seriously by those working in nuclear power plants. The main safety concern is the emission of uncontrolled radiation into the environment which could cause harm to humans both at the reactor site and off-site. A summary by the nuclear world association on environmental, health and safety issues can be found at
the Nuclear World Association website
The Union of Concerned Scientists has an
extensive website devoted to the detailed safety issues
faced by American Nuclear Power Industry. These provide an interesting perspective on the importance both of a vigilent safety culture and a pro-active regulatory oversight.
Safety Mechanisms of a Nuclear Power Reactor
By regulation, the design of the nuclear reactor must include provisions for human (operator) error and equipment failure. Nuclear Plants in the western world use a "Defense in Depth" concept which is a system with multiple safety components, each with back-up and design to accommodate human error. The components include:
1. Control of Radioactivity
This requires being able to control the neutron flux. Recall that in a nuclear reactor when a neutron is captured by a fuel nucleus (generally uranium) the nucleus splits releasing radioactive particles (or undergoes fission). Hence if we decrease the neutron flux we decrease the radioactivity. The most common way to reduce the neutron flux is include neutron-absorbing control rods. These control rods can be partially inserted into the reactor core to reduce the reactions. The control rods are very important because the reaction could run out of control if fission events are extremely frequent. In modern nuclear power plants, the insertion of all the control rods into the reactor core occurs in a
few seconds
, thus halting the nuclear reaction as rapidly as possible. In addition, most reactors are designed so that beyond optimal level, as the temperature increases the efficiency of reactions decreases, hence fewer neutrons are able to cause fission and the reactor slows down automatically.
2. Maintenance of Core Cooling
In any nuclear reactor some sort of cooling is necessary. Generally nuclear reactors use water as a coolant. However some reactors which cannot use water use sodium or sodium salts.
3. Maintenance of barriers that prevent the release of radiation
There is a series of physical barriers between the radioactive core and the environment. For instance at the
Darling Nuclear Generation Station
in Canada the reactors are enclosed in heavily reinforced concrete which is 1.8m thick. Workers are shielded from radiation via interior concrete walls. A vacuum building is connected to the reactor buildings by a pressure relief duct. The vacuum building is a 71m high concrete structure and is kept at negative atmospheric pressure. This means that if any radiation were to leak from the reactor it would be sucked into the vacuum building and therefore prevented from being released into the environment.
The design of the reactor also includes multiple back-up components, independent systems (two or more systems performing the same function in parallel), monitoring of instrumentation and the prevention of a failure of one type of equipment affecting any other.
Further, regulation requires that a core-meltdown incident must be confined only to the plant itself without the need to evacuate nearby residence.
Safety is also important for the workers of nuclear power plants. Radiation doses are controlled via the following procedures,
The handling of equipment via remote in the core of the reactor
Physical shielding
Limit on the time a worker spends in areas with significant radiation levels
Monitoring of individual doses and of the work environment

In addition readers should be aware that the safety of any large scale industrial activity is an on-going concern and must always be taken seriously. Nuclear Power is certainly no exception and unfortunately the US Nuclear Industry did not give it the full attention it needed before the Three Mile Island accident. An excellent description of the safety issues surrounding early nuclear power plants is provided by Robert Pool. It can be downloaded

In Grapher 13, true classed Piper plots and unclassed Piper plots were added as inbuilt graph types, so plotting your data is easier than ever! You can follow the steps in this article to create Piper plots in Grapher 13: Can Grapher Create A Piper Plot? If So, How?
A sample Piper plot created in Grapher 12.
A sample plot and data file are attached (G12 - PiperPlot.zip). A second sample file uses colored symbols as labels is also attached (G12 - PiperColor.zip). In addition, a Piper plot sample is contained in the Samples directory for Grapher 12.
Both data files displays ID, cations, anions, and two combined columns. The anions in columns E, F, and G (highlighted in blue below) should be normalized to add up to 100%. The cations in column B, C, and D (highlighted in red below) should be normalized to add up to 100%. After the columns are normalized the worksheet can be used to create the Piper plot. Columns I and J (highlighted in green below) use a formula to create combined data. The Piper for grapher colors.xlsx file contains color names and a symbol in column K. Columns L and M are used to label the cation bottom left ternary diagram.
Verify that the cations and anions add to 100 before creating the Piper plot.
Grapher 11 - Creating classed piper plots
Using different symbols in a Piper plot is typical to show different collection areas or to demonstrate differences in total dissolved solids amongst the samples.
In previous versions of Grapher, in order to create a Piper plot you had to use a combination of ternary diagrams, so to modify your symbols you had to add a symbol column to your data file and go through a workaround to display these custom symbols. Grapher 11 introduced a classed ternary diagram, so it's easier than ever to create your Piper plot with symbol classes! To do so:
- Download the attached zip file containing the template files (G11 - PiperPlot.zip).
- Unzip the file to extract the GRF Grapher file and the XLSX data file. The data file displays class name, cations, anions, and two combined columns. The cations and anions should all be normalized to add up to 100%. Additionally there are three extra columns at the end of the file for custom axes labels.
- Open Grapher 11. In the Welcome dialog click Open Document.
- In the Open dialog, navigate to the XLSX data file, select it, and click Open. The data file opens in Grapher's worksheet.
- Replace data in Cols B-G with your own normalized cation and anion concentrations.
- Go to Cells | Data | Transform. Change First row to 2 and then type Transform equation: I=G+F. Click OK.
The Transform dialog showing the transform used to calculate the x component for the diamond plot.
- Go to Cells | Data | Transform. Change First row to 2 and then type Transform equation: J=B-sin(D2R(30))*I. Click OK.
The Transform dialog showing the transform used to calculate the y component for the diamond plot.
Note that the D2R here is important because it converts the 30 (degrees) to radians.
- Use File | Save to save the data file to the same name, or File | Save As to save to your own name.
- Click File | Open.
- In the Open dialog navigate to the GRF file that came in the ZIP file you downloaded in step 1. Select it and click Open.
- If you saved your data to a new name, click on Class Scatter Plot 1 under Piper Points in the Object Manager.
- In the Plot tab of the Property Manager, change the Worksheet to your new data file.
- Repeat steps 11 and 12 for Ternary Class Plot 1 under Right Class Ternary and Left Class Ternary.
Now you have a Piper plot of your own data using custom symbol classes. In just a few short minutes you've plotted a visually-appealing, completely customizable Piper plot which will wow your audience and quickly inform them of what the groundwater has to offer.

One of the coolest online tools I've seen in a long time came to my attention this past weekend as I was thinking about our family's weekend plans between now and Memorial Day. With the arrival of spring, I was looking for outdoor activities, when I came across DiscoverTheForest.org.
DiscoverTheForest is a website that allows you to see all of the parks, hiking trails, forests, and other natural areas within a small radius of where you live. Simply type in your zip code and set a radius (say, 25 miles) and a map pops up showing you all of these locations. You can click on each one to find out more about it, typically including a link to find out more information about that specific site.
I typed in our zip code, set the radius to 50 miles, and I quickly found a very long list of hiking trails, parks, and other such places near our home.
I was almost shocked. I felt like I knew a lot of the resources within a considerable radius of our house. Our family has been to many, many parks and arboretums and the like.
Yet, with a fifty mile radius set, I recognized less than half of the locations marked on the map. I wasn't even aware that they existed.
What does that mean? I suddenly have a long and healthy checklist of things to do with my family this summer.
It's pretty easy to plan a very inexpensive day trip to any of these types of outdoor locations. All you need to do is fill up a backpack with enough food to cover lunch for all of the people involved, along with several water bottles, then head out.
If you're unsure what kinds of food to pack, this site offers great tips for backpacking food. I find it's best to skip a single lunch and instead graze throughout the day, eating several batches of simpler foods.
Also, I highly recommend a reusable plastic water bottle, as they usually have straps making them very easy to carry, plus they can be refilled at any water fountain that you come across.
Just pick a trail and start at your own pace. Most parks offer guidance, indicating which trails are easy and which ones are harder, so choose one appropriate for you (don't worry, most "easy" trails are just as naturally beautiful as the "hard" ones, so you don't miss out on too much by taking an easy path). When you get tired, stop and enjoy the view and the natural sounds of the forest. When you get hungry, stop and pull a snack out of your backpack. Take your time and don't wear yourself out – hiking for fun doesn't have to be a race.
Before you know it, you've spent most of a day wandering around the trails, seeing the beauty of nature. You've had a ton of great exercise, enjoyed a bunch of fresh air, and likely burnt quite a few calories. You're very likely to go home and get a great night's sleep, too.
If you have a free day when the weather is nice, there are few better ways to spend it than walking at your own pace in any of the many beautiful nature preserves within a handful of miles of your home. It will cost you very little. It can be incredibly fulfilling. It gives you tons of fresh air and exercise, too.
Check out DiscoverTheForest.org and see what's close to your home. Then, pencil in a few weekends during the spring and summer to simply enjoy nature. Whether you enjoy long and challenging hikes or gentle half-mile walks along a well-established path, you're practically guaranteed to find some new experiences near you.

What were the Irrigation officials doing? Busy flattering their superiors or chasing their political patrons for favours! The condition of the Naini STP, also non-functional, is no better. Negligence should not be condoned. But right now the people living in hellish conditions have to be helped, especially against water-borne diseases.
According to health officials, over 50 per cent of patients visiting health centres are suffering from gastroenteritis. It is easy to say that people have been asked to use chlorine tablets before drinking potable water. But from where will the marooned people procure these?
The health department having failed to deliver the goods, should we request social service organizations to render medical help to those stranded in the flooded areas? If they are unable to reach the people why don't they send their suggestions to the All India Radio Allahabad so that they may be broadcast?
The citizens of Allahabad are passing through difficult times. I don't recall floods having created such a continuous havoc for so long What is more, the rains too seem to have joined hands with the floods to make life miserable for the stranded population of the city. Will the slogan-mongering political activists channel their energies towards helping the flood victims too?

text: By Laura McCullum, Community Engagement Analyst, 7Summits As JiveWorld14 draws near, we can feel the anticipation and excitement bouncing off the walls! Only 27 days until Jive kicks off the event of the year… not that I am counting or anything. So what is all the excitement about? Where do I begin… I can start with all the wonderful people you will meet or maybe even all the knowledge that will soak into your skin. There is so much to be excited about, but here are a couple of items that I know you will love! J – Jive, Jive, Jive – everything Jive! It is so incredible listening to all of the professionals tell their story and be able to relate to "someone like you". We live in a new world, a world were everything goes social but not many people can relate to what you do. Here, there are thousands of people that know what Jive is and when you explain what you do… they get it! I – Inspirational atmosphere and never ending knowledge sharing. The second you walk into the conference, you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the people there. Everyone is excited and anxious for the adventures to begin. From the Keynote speakers to the table talks, there is inspiration and idea sharing everywhere. I am not sure any keynote speaker can beat Eddie Obeng, definitely one of my favorites! V – Views of Vegas from the Cosmopolitan towers are amazing! Take a picture and share your view, then watch how everyone else does the same! It is amazing to see all of the pictures and be able to share the view with fellow Jivers! E – Experience of a lifetime. The views of Vegas and the invigorating atmosphere are just the start. The lessons you will learn and the people you will meet will stay with you. You will find yourself wanting to go back every year just to see the people you have connected with and hear more about their stories. What experiences will you bring to JiveWorld with you? Everyone is eager to hear your story! W – Wide breadth of knowledge. From beginner to expert there is every level of knowledge in one building. If you are a community newbie, have no fear… your head will explode with knowledge as it soaks up every session like a sponge, and your heart will be aching for more at the end of the night. For the experienced Jiver – you will spread your wisdom and stories the whole week. Everyone loves to hear the success stories and the failures. We all learn from each other and can grow together, whether we are a newbie or an experienced Jiver. O – Opportunities to meet resources & partners. There is nowhere else where you can meet a room full of Jive partners! The possibilities are endless with Jive; learn how you can make a dream community by talking to the numerous partners and resources available! R – Relaxation…. just kidding. Relaxation is for when you get home – you're in Vegas!!! You will be so energized and excited for the day ahead, you may not sleep at night. I have heard the stories of Jivers staying out all night to soak it all in! Once you start Jive'n… you just can't stop! L – Lounge, yes lounge! An ALL DAY Hacker Lounge!!! This is a techy's dream, you get to sit down with actual Jive Engineers! You can't get much better than that….except for a Beer Dark 30: 4 hours of late-night hacking, pizza and beer. You're a developer in Vegas at night, what else would you do? D – Dedication. It is so empowering meeting other people that are so dedicated to community. Whether they are discussing their internal business solution, or their external support community, the dedication to living, breathing and feeling a social business is empowering and inspirational! 1 – One The Chandelier Bar. Not only is the focal point of the Cosmopolitan Resort, but the #1 meeting spot to meet fellow Jivers. 4 – 4 Twitter handles to beat. Can you beat last year's tweeters? @jeffmurnan @roguen_keller @LAMB27 @katiebroberts They are the running champions and iPad winners, can you beat them this year?

A Look At Gyeongju: Anapji
Anapji (meaning goose and duck pond) is an artificial pond that was a part of a palace complex in the ancient Silla Dynasty. It went into disrepair, but during a renovation project in 1974 it was restored to it former flourishing glory. The complex is located in central Gyeongju and only a three minute walk from Gyeongju National Museum. You can take city bus number 11. It was highly recommended to visit at night.

text: TV / VideoThat's a Wrap: Broadcasters Close Out Upfront MarketNBC, Fox book the last of their fall TV dealsBy Anthony Crupi|June 13, 2012 ShareBy Anthony Crupi|June 13, 2012 Share The broadcast bazaar is closed for business, as NBC and Fox late Wednesday wrapped up the last of their respective upfront deals. Sources confirmed that both stragglers had crossed the finish line late this afternoon (June 13). Buoyed by two cycles of the hit competition series, The Voice, and a significant investment in original scripted series, NBC was able to squeeze some extra money from the marketplace. Miller Tabak + Co. analyst David Joyce estimated that NBC booked a 3 percent volume increase versus a year ago, bringing its total haul to around $1.8 billion. The Peacock network's average CPM increase hovered between 6 percent and 7 percent. Like its broadcast rivals, NBC held onto a bit more inventory than it did a year ago, when it moved 80 percent of its available prime time units. Automotive was particularly strong for NBC, which boasts prime time TV's most powerful asset in Sunday Night Football. Buyers estimate the cost of a 30-second spot in the NFL showcase could reach as much as $545,000 this fall. Meanwhile, after having booked the bulk of its business last week, Fox late Wednesday broke through with its final deal. The reigning champ among the 18-49 demo, Fox wrote CPM premiums in the 8 percent to 9 percent range on the way toward securing $2.2 billion in early sponsor commitments—flat versus last year's showing. Sources said Fox sold 80 percent of its available prime-time inventory, on par with the amount it booked a year ago. The network airs 15 hours of prime-time programming per week, whereas ABC, CBS and NBC each offers 22 hours. Along with its blockbuster competition series (American Idol, The X Factor) and Sunday animation block, Fox is kicking the tires on a new two-hour Tuesday comedy block. Raising Hope will lead into the new family comedy Ben & Kate, which in turn will set the table for the freshman hit New Girl. Topping off the night is the new Mindy Kaling (The Office) sitcom, The Mindy Project. Fox got the ball rolling 13 days ago, when it began cutting preliminary deals with car companies and movie studios. Although the network did not offer comment on any specific client interactions, it is believed that Fox spent the better part of this week trying to hash out a deal with General Motors. One ad sales chief said it was unlikely that any network would accept GM's demands for steep rollbacks, noting that the gambit represented a usurpation of the entire upfront process: "They're trying to change the way we all do business. No way does anyone write that deal." At deadline, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision was believed to be more than halfway done with its upfront deals. Pricing estimates were not available. Buyers characterized this year's bazaar as a "correction" of sorts, a counterbalance to the remarkably strong 2011-12 market. A year ago at this time, the Big Four was busy counting some $9.25 billion in upfront sales, on average CPM hikes of 11 percent. As broadcast sales execs get ready to head out to the Hamptons, many of their cable counterparts are hoping to wrap up their business before the end of the month. Miller Tabak's Joyce estimates the cable market will boost dollar volume by as much as 8 percent, which would make for a total haul of around $10 billion. A year ago, cable nets booked a record $9.29 billion in early commitments. While most insiders believe there will be a wide range of results, an aggregate 8 percent lift appears a bit bold for this particular market. At the final gun, expect total volume to be up around 5 percent, for a grand total of $9.75 billion. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kbztzA copy Adweek Adweek

Bad cops
These Bloomfield, New Jersey cops are going to end up in jail right? And is the salary range really $57K starting up to $100,000.
Here's an update from July. I don't know the latest.

The cops yell, "Stop resisting," and "Why are you trying to take my fucking gun?" Are they deliberately playing to the dashcam?
- August 27, 2014 at 1:18 PM
- PCM said...
I would seem like that, but then it's a dash *cam*... not a dash *mic*.
I'm really baffled and honestly somewhat shocked.
Is this typical small town NJ bullshit? I cannot imagine cops in Baltimore, even the more physical ones, doing this.
It's really rare to see a case in which somebody does *nothing* to provoke and have this happen. My only thought it maybe there was a long dangerous chase before this moment?
- August 27, 2014 at 1:21 PM
Hey Pete,
I hate to Monday Morning quarterback and I am definitely "Pro-police." However, this video looks bad! It looks like these cops will be going to jail.
- August 28, 2014 at 7:37 PM
Saying "stop grabbing my gun" when it's not true should be a very serious offense. I'm willing to let all ties go to the cops, but that should be recorded as a very serious accusation.
If evidence shows that is not true, then that should be a crime like tampering with evidence or framing an innocent person.

FPSP is an excellent vehicle to teach problem solving strategies across the curriculum while promoting the development of student leadership skills. It provides an outstanding educational and learning experience that should be available to all students. It stimulates critical and creative thinking skills and encourages students to develop a vision for the future.
Spanning a variety of disciplines and content areas, FPSP consistently demonstrates its validity in education as an integral part of a school's curriculum and as an academic co-curricular activity. FPSP provides opportunities to students in both content and skill areas.
FPSP, a multidisciplinary activity, is one of the most significant and widely respected programs for youngsters in existence. As Joe Renzulli, Director of the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, USA, says, "It helps to bring out the energy of young people in a way that you would love to see happen in every classroom and situation. It is a program that gives them remarkable opportunities to put their learning to work in very meaningful and very enjoyable ways."
Today, the Future Problem Solving Program involves over 250,000 students annually from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, United States of America and Singapore.

A Winder resident whose $100 donation sparked the city government's creation of a new "Downtown Improvement Fund" for private donations is not happy with the folks running city hall.
Resident Chip Lewis told the Barrow Journal that hours before he addressed the council on March 9, city administrator Bob Beck recommended he not to speak to the council that night, but instead allow the city staff privately to address his concerns.
The 35-year-old engineer, who works for Delta Air Lines in Atlanta, said he wanted to get on the agenda to talk about the need for stricter city codes to protect historic neighborhoods near downtown. One of his neighbors last year cut down several large trees along Center Street and another neighbor built a fence he felt was incompatible with the style and architecture of the 1930s neighborhood.
