What Can a Thermal Imaging Home Inspection Find in Your Home?
More homeowners are requesting a thermal imaging home inspection for their properties. This method of home inspection has become popular for many reasons. It is not invasive and makes locating problems within the home much easier. Thermal imaging also allows the homeowner to actually see the shape and size of the problem, rather than simply telling them it is there. What can a thermal imaging home inspection find in your home?
Water Leakage
Exterior water leakage can cause serious problems in your home. A thermal imaging home inspection can reveal wet areas that may otherwise be hidden from normal view. Stopping this problem before it gets worse is very important. An exterior water leak that is allowed to continue can cause rot in wood and other materials as well as lead to mould growth.
Points of Lost Energy
The thermal imaging home inspection can also show you areas in your home that could help reduce utility bills. Missing insulation or un-insulated walls can cause a loss of heat or cool air during heating and cooling seasons. This can lead to higher utility bills as your home's furnace or air conditioning unit tries to make up for the loss. A thermal imaging home inspection can help you find these areas so they can be fixed.
Pipe Leaks in Your Home
Not all pipe leaks start out as a noticeable issue. The thermal imaging home inspection can reveal a leaky pipe, even if the leak is still small. Correcting the problem right away is very important or you could face a serious water damage situation later. Through thermal imaging of the area, you can begin to determine where it is coming from which can save your plumber time on the repair.
Electrical Components Overheating
Overheating electrical components can pose a serious threat to the safety of your home and its inhabitants. A thermal imaging home inspection can identify problem areas that could come from overheating electrical components before they turn into an emergency situation. Although any home can benefit from a thermal imaging home inspection, older homes with aging electrical components and wiring may get even more out of the service.

NAPOLEON - The mother of a 2-year-old boy who died in April at the hands of her boyfriend has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of child endangerment.
Billie Jo Hoy, 26, of Napoleon, who entered her plea Wednesday, could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. She originally was charged with permitting child abuse that resulted in the death of Brandon Carpenter.
Matthew Lilly, 22, pleaded no contest Oct. 19 to killing Brandon and was sentenced to life in prison by Henry County Common Pleas Judge Keith Muehlfeld. He will be eligible for parole in 20 years.
The Henry County coroner had ruled the death a homicide due to blunt trauma of the back and abdomen. Brandon died after injuries that police said occurred at the apartment where he lived with Miss Hoy and Mr. Lilly.

During the holidays, I managed to meet up with a few old friends who have decided to go back to school. I had a great time chatting with them about the days we used to teach in Fukushima and the days we pulled all-nighters playing Risk in Tokyo. After the reminiscing, we shared our experiences about getting our MBA. One friend has just started a joint Law and MBA programme at Ivey while another has finished at Thunderbird many years ago.
After our discussions, I concluded that the average age of MBA students is decreasing. The MBA graduates that my friends and I met ten years ago were typically early to mid-thirties. The average age in the MBA programme in McGill is about twenty-eight. Perhaps people are realizing earlier that an MBA is an asset, or perhaps the economic downturn is encouraging more people to stay in school longer.
For the MBA graduate, this means that the workplace is becoming more competitive as the number of MBA applicants are increasing while the number of jobs is not. MBA's are becoming more common and there has been many articles discussing whether an MBA is worth the investment. I was told by my friend that even the new entry level position sales staff at his company has an MBA.
It might be competitive for MBA graduates in their job applications; however, it is probably just as competitive, if not more, for non-MBA applicants. Most of the MBA graduates I know have managed to find a higher level position than their previous, during their schooling or not long after their graduation.
Doors open to those trying to open doors. Those willing to put in the work and make an investment in their own career will more likely have the same attitude when they are working, seeking options that have better potential...

BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND — The Soviet Union, one of three major whaling nations, announced Tuesday it will halt commercial whale hunting in the Antarctic in 1987.
A worldwide whaling ban takes effect in November, but the Soviet Union and two other major whaling nations -- Japan and Norway -- have filed objections to the ban by the 40-nation International Whaling Commission.
Under U.S. pressure, Japan announced earlier this year it would stop whaling in 1988 as long as it could continue whaling until then. Norway, however, has given no indication it will comply with the ban.
The Soviet Union announced its decision to forego the 1987 Antarctic hunting season, which begins in November 1986, at the whaling commission`s annual meeting here. The Soviet spokesman did not say why the Soviets were delaying compliance by a year.
Conservation groups, which have observer status at the commission`s meetings, applauded the Soviet move.
``We do welcome the announcement,`` said Wolfgang Fischer, wildlife coordinator of the Greenpeace environmental group. ``We would prefer, however, to see Russia abide by this November`s deadline.``
The Soviet move only temporarily halts whaling during the 1987 winter season, but Fischer said he believes the Soviets will permanently end commercial whaling.
The Soviets stage whaling hunts in the Antarctic and off Siberia. Siberian whaling is not included in the ban, because it is close to Soviet territory and is considered ``aboriginal`` rather than commercial.

RFID Passports and stupid gov't use of tech for tech's sake.
Slashdot posted to Passport Chip Could Attract High-Tech Muggers as Re:Why include the info on the chip at all? :
They don't have to share all the data. They can set it up on a virtual network connected to the US computers. They send the information for only the specific passport requested.
Thus no foreign place would have more information than the current procedure.
This does open up the possibility of fishing -- remote customs database clients sending info requests for the passport info on people who are not actually present.
There's an easy fix for that risk -- embed a smartchip in the passport with public key crypto support, so when I go to a foreign border, their reader can query my passport, and get back a crytographic key (challenge, etc). They then sign this with their public key and forward to US Customs. When decrypted the passport datablock says "I am Nonesuch's passport, tell the nice people at the Canadian Border what you are willing to share about Mr. Nonesuch".

If yours is a startup, online business, you may not be able to afford the expense of hiring a web designer. You can save yourself a nice chunk of change if you can design your own site. However, you should never cut corners. If you implement the following advice, it won't be long before you can design a very professional-looking website.
Keep the size of your web pages small. A lot of modern web pages are full of unnecessary elements, including huge images, Flash advertising, and lots of AJAX. Many people, especially those in rural areas and other countries with less-developed internet infrastructure, don't have high-speed Internet and will have to wait forever for a large page to load.
Learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Although there are many templates that allow you to just fill in the blanks, in order to create a web page, these templates provide only limited design possibilities. Understanding how the mark-up language and stylesheet work together will enable you to customize your website to your heart's content.
Use images wisely. Bitmap images do not tend to fare well for internet use, and some GIFs do not work well with lots of color. Image size is important as well, as larger images may make your viewers have to wait for them to download. Choose smaller images, and use them sparingly to make your site more manageable.
Avoid useless scripts. Scripts like date and counters/time scripts don't really serve any purpose, and since they are all JavaScript, can add a few kilobytes to the page's file size. Getting rid of these elements also frees up space on the homepage. Replace those useless scripts with useful content that keeps users coming back.
If you want a site search engines can crawl, don't use frames! When search engines crawl your website, they will not see what is contained within them, even though many users like frames. You will have a poor web ranking if search engines cannot read your information. You will lose out on visitors, if this happens.
If you are just starting out with web design, become familiar with photoshop as much as you can. You want to be as diverse with a lot of programs as possible and photoshop is crucial towards becoming a pro at web design. So learn this program and get ready for others as well.
Don't load rich content automatically. Anything other than text or graphics qualifies, even though rich content mainly refers to videos and music. Many people browse in work environments where sounds suddenly playing is a big problem. Also, many people find such rich content annoying in general. Before playing, rich content should require some interaction from the user.
To help you design a site that is easy for people to read all the information, make sure the pages are not too wide. They will fit on most people's computer screens if the pages are not too wide. If the page is too wide, then part of your valuable information could be left off the page.
A good resource where you can learn some insightful knowledge is a book store. You can go to a bookstore and read books that have information on html, c+, photoshop, and dreamweaver as these are some of the key things you need to learn when it comes to being a well- knowledgable web designer.
Make sure your website uses a consistent font throughout. Some websites change fonts willy-nilly without any design reason to do so. This makes the content difficult to process for visitors. Most websites, especially business websites, will do just fine sticking to basic fonts likeVeranda and Arial, or even Times New Roman.
Always use the same type of fonts so that guest to your site don't become agitated by reading different types of fonts. You want people to browse through the site with ease so that they can just concentrate on the material on the site and what the site has to offer.
We are all used to seeing the letters "www" at the beginning of a website address. But this well known sub-domain is not always necessary to gain access to a site. Be sure that your site works with or without this, as you could lose a lot of traffic by users who don't know that it works both ways.
A lot of times when you load up a page to your file server, you cannot find it when you type in the address via your browser. You always need to double-check and ensure that you named the file correctly. Some people literally waste days trying to pinpoint the problem they believe is major, when in reality it's only a simple typo.
Although the more ads you have on your site the more potential you have at making money. But make sure that you don't get too greedy and that you manage the number of ads that are on your sites to a reasonable number, you want to make your site feel open and welcoming, not ad central.
Develop a checklist of items you want your website to display. If they don't act on them, even the best web designers out there sometimes lose ideas. If you create a checklist, you can always make sure that you're putting everything you wanted on your website. Keeping it written down is also a way to brainstorm for new ideas.
Get ideas from other websites to help improve your own site. Take in all aspects and ideas you like, then blend them together with your own ideas.
Many web designers make the mistake of trying to completely fill all the white space on their page. You do not have to do that. A clean, simple page can really come off as professional and informative while making it easy to find the information that the visitor had come to the site to find.
Make sure that all of your site's links work. This will help to make your site user friendly, and keep your visitors from becoming frustrated. Create a schedule of checkpoints at which you can test your links.
Are you ready to make a great site? Do you now have a better understanding of the things that make a website great? Are you more familiar with web design after reading this information? Will you be able to apply website this knowledge to all your future web design work? The answer should now be yes.

Put some Friday in your Monday
So, I took a personal day. I had Bird's First Grade Book Club make-up meeting to prepare for, after re-scheduling it so I could go do a presentation in Kentucky last week. Like any book club I've ever been involved with, I had not read the book and had no activity planned. Plus, I had next to nothing on my work agenda but a boatload of freelance work to cram in and one more personal day to burn before my days as a full-time employee come to an end. I called in on a Monday, and I didn't even make an excuse and I didn't feel guilty or wonder what anybody would think or say. I said "I'm not coming in because I'm going to do these things" and then I did them. It's a small victory, but it felt nice.
Not going to the office and doing book club meant that this Monday followed the same formula as my Fridays soon will. And hey, mama. It was niiiiiiice.
I walked Bird and O. to school. I got some exercise in the sunshine. I noticed leaves and houses and other people in my neighborhood. I got a bunch of work done and I did the dishes. I scratched the dog behind the ears and meant it. I took a shower. I showed up to First Grade Book Club prepared (and bearing candy!) and led an activity they really liked, without watching the clock. I had the loudest lunch of my entire damn life with the first grade. I took comfort in the fact that cheese pizza is always accompanied by buttered corn. I picked around at the Goodwill.* I bought a sweater and a skirt. I did some more work and then picked Bird up after running club. In a few minutes, we'll walk to daycare to get O.
I accomplished far more than I normally would without rushing anything or anybody, not even once.
I think this is going to work out just fine.
*Notes on Goodwill:
- If they're not going to throw them out, they should just make a designated section for tiny shrunken wool sweaters from J Crew and Gap. I mean, I have done my share of accidental hot washings and subsequent additions to the donations pile, but who is buying thick-as-hell tiny sweaters? Nobody. I vow to never donate another one.
- Every time I visit the Eastland Goodwill I hear these two songs: Yester Me Yester You Yester Day and La-La Means I Love You. Singing along is almost involuntary at this point, as those are great songs.
- And yes I try things on at thrift stores, and yes, I do think about lice. And then I stop thinking about that and start thinking about sweet, sweet bargains, my friends.

Day 3 Mon 24/05/05 The Pinnacles (Mt. Api)
There were around 4 groups that would climbing today. One from Singapore, the big party from Malaysia with a film crew, five foreign tourists and our team. Most teams around 5 to 10 people. Only ours that had two and a guide. We've been told that we will depart in the morning around 700am.
Finished packing we set to the footpath not far from camp 5. My feeling just too moody this morning. Possibly because I hadn't have enough sleep overnight. Heavy rain really made the zinc roof become noisy. The footpath went upwards with moderate grade. My stomach started feeling funny. Then about half an hour half climbing I vomited. I reckond caused by digestion system too much forced to work along with the foot muscle. Strangely after vomiting I felt a lot better. Only apparently needed the energy bar to replace my breakfast.
The route was good, occasionally with the rope. Designed t descend when rockeries and tree's root became slippery. The forest was very calm with high density of leaves and branches. We rarely got direct sun. This trek only 2.4 km but this one was totally vertical. In Guidebook was said most fit people did in 3-4 hours climbing. Just to remind you that this route actually "maschocistic route" rather that pleasant one. It was essential to bring a day pack as minimal as possible. I saw several mineral bottles placed in the edge of the route for supply. At least each brought two litres, ideally around 3 litres of water. No water resource all along the route.
The Pinnacles actually limestone layers that experienced the erosion because of the rain flow. This made his construction become sharp such as an iron bars. Moreover the height could reach 30-40m. The Pinnacles location was in the slope Mt Api (1750m) . It did not been climb yet for the real peak. A mountain nearby Mt Benarat (1580m) Although short but also was not yet been touched. The only one that could be climbed was Mt Mulu (2376m). It climbed by Lord Shackleton (son of Ernest Shackleton ) in 1932. Anyway for me the Pinnacles was more than enough.
Around 10an we arrived in a third of the last part (I called it:The iron route ). There was a plank of the warning that you should arrive here before 11am otherwise you have to come back. The reason because of the weather was often changed. The fog and possibly rain also make the route become so difficult. There were around 14 iron ladders and some auxiliary bridge with help of the rope that helped through the layer limestone.
The route changed to crawled, scrambling and climbing. For me that was more interesting because quite taxing. So do not believe if guide or the operator's tour mentioned this route as moderate. Richard-our guide even regarded the Pinnacles heavier compared with Mt Kinabalu at the level of difficulty. It was just fortunate that today was bright that the route not too slippery.
After total 4 climb hours, in wet of sweat shirt we were able to see the Pinnacles. It was speechless. Extraordinary! The fog also just lifted, so we could enjoyed the band of pointed rock that looked challenging the sky. Along with us two more parties, two Singaporean and a group of foreign tourists. The place to enjoy the Pinnacles also really narrow. It only can hold people around 10-15 people with some climbing the tree unlike a football pitch.
In here also I could chit-chat with one of the trekkers. Just because she wore shirt that be inscribed: the General Election 2004 The election of Miss Lucu Indonesia. Lucu mean funny in Bahasa Indonesia. Another stories flowed related about her experiences spent 4 months in Indonesia. From climbing Mt Merapi, Mt Semeru (highest in Java) and her efforts reached Mt Rinjani (second highest in Indonesia). Miss Lucu said that Indonesia was the most beautiful place that she visited. She promised to come back.

I am creating a Java application that utilizes a JPA annotated model - the core model -. On top of these entities, at runtime, I would like to add a jar file from an external source that contains some other JPA classes definitions and mappings. The imported archive might change its class structure and mappings, but it is the application's duty to refresh the entire schema when changed.
However, when trying to add the jar to hibernate Configuration, I get a
org.hibernate.service.spi.ServiceException: Unable to create requested service [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.env.spi.JdbcEnvironment]
The inner exception is related to the hibernate dialect:
org.hibernate.HibernateException: Access to DialectResolutionInfo cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set
However, I am sure to have specified the
hibernate.dialect property in the
persistence.xml file. Below is the code I am using in my application:
org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration cfg = new org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration();
cfg.addJar(new File("path/to/jar.jar"));
What am I doing wrong?
Also, could you please tell me if you find this a good approach to create a dynamically updateable schema shared between multiple applications?

Operation Management
The grocery discounter, ALDI, operates stores in 18 countries. ALDI'S strategy resolves around providing good -quality groceries for low prices. Quality is important to ALDI, which guarantees products sold with no-question-asked money –back guarantee. ALDI achieves its low –cost strategy by using a variety of methods. ALDI buy large quantities of items from vetted suppliers capable of delivering good-quality products, taking advantages of quantity discounts and economies of scale. The stores are typically small and are standardized with respect to appearance and layout, allowing for small differences between countries where they operate. The store sells around 700 products and there is only one or 2 brands of an item of which 95% is store brand items. ALDI chooses inexpensive locations for its stores which is usually outside towns or on side streets to minimize overheads. ALDI'S products are displayed on pallets rather than on shelving. Employees are cross-trained to be able to operate checkout as well as restock items by replacing pallets. Customers need to pay for bags or bring their own. Customers pay a coin deposit for carts and as soon as they bring it back they will get their deposit back. ALDI stores typically operate with a 13% overhead of labour. Question 1
How does ALDI's strategy lead to a competitive advantage? How does the company achieve this strategy? Question 2
Does ADLI's low-cost strategy imply that the company offers low quality? Why is quality important, regardless of competitive strategy?

iPhone 6 Is Coming: Is Your Media Ready?
The iPhone 6 is coming, and the rumors include two new screen sizes and new screen resolutions. Are your digital assets ready? And what about other new form factors, such as the iWatch, Google Glass, and digital billboards? Will your images and video display properly on Day 1? How soon after the final announcement of the new screen specifications will your content be ready? Do you know what to do to get it ready?
The stakes are high. If you are not prepared for a new form factor your content may be cropped in odd and unpredictable ways. If the content is not at a high enough resolution or pixel density for the screen display then it might become soft and fuzzy, ruining your brand's impact on a potential customer. Are you going to face these same questions and challenges every time a new device is released to the public?
You might be thinking, "I have a responsive design site, or an adaptive mobile site, so I am all set." But it's not that simple. Digital images and videos still need to be reformatted to display optimally for each device's screen size and resolution.
It is all about how your site is achieving its responsiveness. Many sites download large images to mobile devices and rely on the Cascading Style Sheets to downsize it, forcing the mobile device to go through the logic and do the calculations to provide the right-sized media. And if customers are viewing mobile sites from low-bandwidth networks, this can significantly slow down mobile site performance, even on a responsive site.
For instance, a recent report states that Radware's annual benchmark shows the median time to load a webpage is 9.3 seconds and has slowed by 21 percent over the last 12 months (Source: "CDNs Extend To Web Performance Optimization And End-To-End Cloud Services," Forrester Research, Inc., July 31, 2014). This slowdown is mainly due to inefficient use of right-sized media. Page performance directly impacts conversion. Will your customers wait that long?
Some marketers will not be worrying about this. These marketers are using intelligent rich media publishing technology to deliver responsive images to their digital properties. Dynamic media refers to media that is created on demand instead of in advance, and delivered to the device ready to view. A dynamic media publishing platform such as Adobe Scene7 detects the responsive page breakpoint for the device requesting the content, and delivers the right-sized image format on demand. This can save a lot of up-front creative production time and costs, because the right-sized images do not need to be created in advance.
Below is an example from the Audi website. The automobile images in each case are delivered dynamically from the same master, properly sized in each instance before being downloaded to the end device.
iPhone 6 Is Coming: Is Your Media Ready?
The same intelligent technology systems also automate the resizing of video players and encoding of video over multiple file formats. They already can handle all of the existing codecs, file formats, and screen sizes. The iPhone 6 is just another number and these systems will automatically generate a version suitable for this new device as soon as it is detected.
For a marketer using this technology, the only task is to get the specs of the new device when they are released and perhaps make a few simple adjustments. The ability to handle a new device with this ease requires a three-step process to plan, manage, and optimize your rich media experiences.
Best practices with dynamic, rich media publishing require that you design and produce a single high-resolution master, once. After that, the dynamic media management system will take care of resizing and other changes needed so that your content can be delivered to any device that connects to your website, including devices that haven't been released yet. Your planning will include knowing the trends, understanding how user behavior changes on different form factors, and knowing what you want the user experience to be. You can focus your efforts on these strategic questions, confident that the technology will take care of the details in delivering this master content to any device.
Think of this as creating recipes that allow you to specify how the content will look on different screen sizes. This gives you the control to customize cropping, sharpening, templates, color effects, video encoding profiles, and more. Most importantly, you can define auto scaling, which will read the breakpoints and deliver media that is perfectly sized for each platform. When a new device is released, you may have to tweak one of these recipes or create a new one. This fairly simple action will apply to all of your media on any end device. You can be confident that your content will display well on any new device with only a few minor adjustments.
A good rich media publishing solution will be integrated with analytics, allowing you to monitor, test, and improve your content. Despite your best efforts, mistakes or problems may arise. Perhaps you will detect that the new larger mobile screen has led to different user behavior, such as watching video for longer durations. You could then run an A/B test using a version of the video that was running on tablets. Strong analytics enable you to respond to any problems or opportunities with agility, based on solid knowledge and performance data.
What will the next new screen be? Big? Small? Round? Maybe spherical or 3D. The right technology lets you take advantage of new channels quickly, and respond with optimized experiences no matter what comes next.

Candidates stranded as JAMB shifts mock exam, UTME registration
By Erunke Joseph & Elizabeth Nwandu
THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, yesterday, extended the ongoing registration for the Unified Tertiary Matri-culation Examinations by two weeks.
It also postponed the 2017 UTME scheduled to start on Saturday, May 6,2017. Under the new arrangement, the examination is to start on Saturday, May 13 to Saturday, May 20.
The board equally suspended its mock examination slated for yesterday.
The postponement of the mock examination left several candidates who reported at the centres across the country stranded.
Professor Ishaq Oloyede, JAMB's Registrar, who announced the shift in Abuja, hinged the development on logistic problems.
He said that instead of April 19, the deadline for the sale of forms and registration was now extended to Friday, May 5, 2017.
Meanwhile, Sunday Vanguard's visit to some of the centres, where the mock examination was scheduled to hold yesterday, showed candidates under scorching sun waiting to write the exam in perplexed state.
At Surulere Knowledge Ware Technology, Itire Road, Lawanson, Lagos, the candidates there said they arrived the centre as early as 7am but had nobody to attend to them.
One of the candidates said: Ï am not feeling good because the rain that fell this morning drenched me. Now I am under the sun at 2pm still waiting to rite the mock exam."
Two other candidates at the centre, Musa Ahmed and Hassan Bukola, said the failure of JAMB to conduct the exam had left them demoralised as they had put all their efforts into it.

Femto Forum announces femtocell interoperability testing
|13 октября 2009
The Femto Forum announced that it has received widespread vendor support for a comprehensive interoperability testing program to validate the new 3GPP femtocell standard. The program will begin with the '1st Femto Forum UMTS Femtocell Plugfest' which is set to take place in March 2010 in co-operation with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The program will demonstrate how effectively the new standard facilitates the interoperability of products from different vendors. In turn this will provide operators and consumers with greater interoperable equipment choice from multiple vendors while also widening the market for vendors themselves.
The program will be coordinated by ETSI Plugtests and will involve interoperability tests between femtocell network gateways, security gateways, femtocell access points and chipsets from all the key vendors to verify the 3GPP's Iuh interface as defined in release 8. The program will also test the IPsec/IKEv2 security protocols that allow femtocells to communicate over the public Internet to system operators' core networks in a highly secure manner. Release 8 Iuh interface standardization was completed in April 2009 and provides the interface between femtocell access points and femtocell network gateways in the core network. Equipment upgrades to meet this standard are expected to enter the market over the next six months.
"Vendor interoperability is the key ingredient that will give operators the confidence to start mass deployments. Not only will this allow operators to start mixing and matching their technology providers as they do with mobile handsets today, it will also drive economies of scale to bring down the cost of the technology," said Simon Saunders, Chairman of the Femto Forum. "We've had an overwhelming response from vendors keen to take part in this program. There are currently over twenty femtocell access point models and over a dozen network gateways on the market and this program will start to ensure they all work together harmoniously."
"Nobody will argue with the promise of the Iuh standard in terms of ecosystem development and best-of-breed solutions for operators," noted Peter Jarich, Research Director at Current Analysis. "On its own, however, a standard is meaningless until vendors and operators alike know that products are actually conforming to it - making interoperability testing a critical component of the femtocell market's success."
The Femto Forum has received strong commitment to participation in the tests from its vendor membership and will report on the results following the event in March 2010.

Mid-American Conversion Services, a joint venture melding the talents of Westinghouse Electric, Atkins and Fluor, has been given the green light to take over operations of the U.S. Department of Energy's depleted uranium hexafluoride conversion facilities in Kentucky and Ohio.
At the end of September 2016, The DOE awarded the group, known as Mid-American Conversion Services, a $318 million contract to manage the conversion facilities with a contract that included managing cylinder storage at the DOE's DUF6 processing sites in Paducah, Kentucky and Piketon, Ohio at a facility called the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
According to the World Nuclear Association, Mid-American Conversion Services will also provide maintenance services for equipment at the plants, as well as "disposal of end products," and security at the cylinder storage yards.
The plants have had dual purposes, first used for enriching uranium for nuclear weapons and later for commercial nuclear power plants. DUF6, is a "co-product of uranium enrichment process … produced at the Paducah and Portsmouth Sites, as well as the gaseous diffusion plant in Oak Ridge, TN," according to a government website.
The conversion program processes the DUF6 in storage into depleted uranium oxide, which is considered more stable, allowing for storage or reuse. The co-product in the conversion process is hydrofluoric acid, which is reused industrially, according to the DOE.

It is simple for everyone to tell you to think with a positive mind, but how do you actually achieve this? Well, one of the easiest ways is by finding some positive affirmations that have some depth of meaning for you. Then write them out and post them in a place where you can read them each day.
There are many places to find quotes and affirmations and if you do a search online you can find a list of suitable places. Use words such as 'positive mindset', 'positive quotes' and 'positive affirmations'.
Once you have found some places then read through the quotes and find ones that hold a special meaning for you. What is the reason that you want to start thinking positively? Is it because you are unhappy in general with your life? Or do you want to change something such as your weight or do you want to quit smoking?
You want to find a few quotes and affirmations and use them on a daily basis. If you find them helpful keep using them, if not look for some different ones and try them out. As your goals change you may want to change your quotes too.
As life throws you a curve ball you will find yourself dealing with unwanted and stressful situations. You can get through these trying times by using different quotes. Once you start looking at quotes you will see that there are quotes and affirmations for different things such as:
• Motivational quotes
• Positive quotes
• Religious quotes
• Achievement quotes
• Being true to yourself quotes
• Life Lesson quotes
• Life is too short quotes
All these types of quotes can be helpful in different situations and they all contribute to a positive mindset. After all you have to stay motivated and attain your goals to have a positive mind.
The best way to make use of your quotes and affirmations is to write them out onto sticky notes. Then place these notes around your home and at work in strategic places. The bathroom mirror is a great place for quotes. It will be the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night before going to bed.
Other great places for your sticky notes are the fridge and your computer. Place them anywhere that they are visible and easy to read and above all read them out loud every day.

Front-line officers won't face cuts, says police chief
Budget proposal includes 5.5 per cent increase for officer salaries
The proposed policing budget for next year will not affect front-line officers, said Halifax's chief of police at a police commission meeting on Monday.
"No front-line impact whatsoever, what it is, is the way that we do policing behind the scenes," said Halifax Regional Police Chief Jean-Michel Blais.
He said he's requesting a 5.5 per cent increase to the policing budget next year for a total of $74 million.
Blais said most of the requested increase would be to pay for a 3.7 per cent increase to officers' salaries.
After five years, a first-class constable makes $86,000 per year. The salary increase alone would account for an increase of $3.3 million.
Halifax Regional Police Association vice-president Trevor Lasseline said the union had feared that as many as 28 police officers could be cut if the proposed budget had requested no increase over the previous year.
"We're buoyed by the news of an over five per cent increase as opposed to credible information that we were looking at a zero budget for the second year in a row," he said.
"By the sounds of it, we'll have those officers [and] have a better opportunity that we're going to be able to break up criminals firing shots at taxi cabs."
The $74-million figure would also include making up for the department's $3.8-million deficit.
Blais said he also wants to improve police technology for items like wire taps in serious investigations as well as funding for high-tech policing devices.
There are currently about 470 police officers employed by the HRM. To save money, the force is looking at converting up to 13 jobs in administration that are now performed by police in uniform to civilian positions.
"The number of people in uniform there will be a reduction as a result of those modifications by seven at this point, and the potential of 13 — but once again that has yet to be determined," he said.
Blais said this proposal is the first step in a three step process and that it's still early in the budget process.
"The first step is to go before the board of police commissioners who will, in turn, make their determination as to the merits of the budget submission," he said.
"It will then be presented to council and then council will then make its determination whether to increase or decrease the current budget or could turn around and ask us to come back with some further information."

Nearly three-quarters (74%) of you describe your math skills in elementary school as above average, while just 5% say your aptitude in grade school mathematics was below average. A majority of you also report being somewhat (48%) or very (19%) interested in financial matters or business as a child/adolescent, and 45% say you had a better understanding of such topics than your peers at that age.

Wednesday Lawrence and I will have been married for 3 years. Friday we actually get to celebrate, thanks to some amazing friends watching Coralyn for a couple of hours.
Saturday we are having Coralyn's first birthday party...a safari theme. Needless to say, I have much to do. It's going to be a great time though and worth every minute I have spent planning and every dollar we have spent on supplies.
The following Wednesday is Coralyn's actual birthday. And my in-laws' wedding anniversary.
Sunday, October 10 is my mom's 60th birthday and my parents' wedding anniversary.
Once we are done celebrating all our family stuff (and eating all that cake), we get to have Halloween at the end of the month! :) Like I said, we're going to be busy, so as I get ready for the coming celebrations, it's crunch time!

4.3 Water Quality
Goal 3 - Water Quality
Preserve, maintain and improve aesthetic, physical, chemical and biological composition of surface waters and groundwater within the District.
The HHPLS used an extensive public input process to establish water quality goals for the primary receiving waters in the District, focusing primarily on identifying target total phosphorus concentrations. This plan identifies those plus additional goals related to water quality. This plan sets forth a set of actions the District will undertake to reduce pollutant loading in the subwatershed and achieve water quality goals. The achievement of these water quality goals is not only necessary to meet state and federal water quality requirements and to prevent future TMDLs, but also to meet this plan's ecological integrity goals.
Desired Outcomes: Achievement of in-lake nutrient concentration goals through achievement of nutrient loading reductions.
- In-lake nutrient concentrations/Trophic State Index Scores (TSI) for Dutch Lake
- Nutrient loading goals (lbs) for Dutch Lake
Goal 3.1 - Dutch Lake
Achieve and maintain the in-lake total phosphorus concentration goal of 40 ?g/L in Dutch Lake.
- Conduct a diagnostic study of internal lake phosphorus loading, prepare a feasibility study, and construct improvements to reduce internal loading by at least 70 percent.
- Conduct a diagnostic study of wetland nutrient cycling and phosphorus export, prepare a feasibility study, and construct improvements to reduce phosphorus export by at least 50 percent.
- Consider amending existing or establish new District rules requiring greater than 50 percent phosphorus removal on new permitted developments within the Dutch Lake subwatershed.
- Require LGUs to reduce phosphorus loading from developed and agricultural uses upstream of Dutch Lake by a minimum of 25 pounds per year within 10 years.
- Provide education and training opportunities, technical and planning assistance for property owners and LGUs on methods to reduce phosphorus and sediment loading by incorporating BMPs into landscaping, agriculture, infrastructure maintenance, and reconstruction.
- Provide assistance to LGUs and developers to foster low impact development and redevelopment that minimizes new phosphorus and sediment loading.
- Develop and distribute model ordinances and design standards that incorporate low impact design principles.
- Sponsor educational opportunities for LGU staff, developers, elected and appointed officials and other interested parties to provide practical information and opportunities for sharing experiences.
- Promote the general application of BMPs across the subwatershed.
- Consider developing a small grant program to provide financial assistance to property owners desiring to retrofit their property with BMPs to reduce phosphorus and sediment loading.
- Continue regular water quality monitoring in Dutch Lake to assess progress toward achieving the in-lake phosphorus goal.
Goal 3.2 - Dutch Lake
Achieve and maintain other state lake water quality standards in Dutch Lake including >1.4 m Secchi clarity and 14 ug/L chl-a.
- Achieve and maintain in-lake total phosphorus goals.
- Manage aquatic vegetation in accordance with a vegetation management plan that takes into account water clarity goals.
- Develop a water quality index which encompasses the District's broader definition of water quality.
Goal 3.3 - Dutch Lake
Minimize pollutant loading contribution to Jennings Bay from Dutch Creek and its direct drainage area.
- Achieve Dutch Lake in-lake total phosphorus concentration goal.
- Require LGUs to reduce phosphorus loading from developed and agricultural uses downstream of Dutch Lake as identified in the HHPLS by a minimum of 3 pounds per year within 10 years.
- Provide education and training opportunities, technical and planning assistance for property owners and LGUs on methods to reduce phosphorus and sediment loading by incorporating BMPs into landscaping, infrastructure maintenance, and reconstruction.
- Inspect erosion-prone areas of Dutch Creek at least annually to identify any new areas of erosion.
- Work cooperatively with the City of Mound to reduce water volumes to Dutch Creek.
- Continue to monitor water quality in Dutch Creek.

Troian Bellisario just got real about her fight against anorexia in an effort to show her support for Hillary Clinton in a voting PSA released this weekend by ATTN.
Awesomeness continues after advertisement
"With anorexia, a lot of it is about presenting a front of everything is okay, as you're slowly killing yourself," Troian revealed in the interview. "Gone were the days where I was just a happy, carefree kid running around and suddenly I felt this inability to interact with people and to nourish myself."
The Pretty Little Liars star recalled that it was early detection and her subsequent mental health treatment that saved her life. "If I had just been shunned to the side as not having 'real problems', I don't know that I would be living today," she said. "I just want to make sure that everybody has the same opportunity for treatment that I have, and I think that we have to make sure that our government invests in those programs."
Anyone who has struggled with anxiety or depression, or even an eating disorder like Troian, knows that mental health is just as important as physical health. Those who are struggling with mental health issues should be able to seek help without any embarrassment or shame. Like, Troian, getting treatment could be a real life-saver.
Awesomeness continues after advertisement>
We think it's so brave of Troian to be so honest about her struggles. You can find the full video here.
