Finding a good waste receptacle for a downtown - simple as it may sound - is not an easy task. This is, in part, because of the diverse functions that waste receptacles serve on a street. A waste receptacle, of course, should be convenient to use and easy to maintain, but it also often accommodates a wide variety of other activities. People sit on waste receptacles, rest packages or briefcases on them, meet people next to them, and so on.
One of the most common mistakes made in cities is placing waste receptacles where they are easy to empty, rather than where they are convenient for people to use. The result is often littered streets and empty waste receptacles. Because people usually will not go out of their way to find a waste receptacle, the challenge is to determine where one is needed.
To decide where a waste receptacle is needed, some simple on-site observations are necessary. The locations of existing street furniture and the type and location of ground-floor land uses (e.g., department stores, fast food, etc.) should be recorded on a large-scale map of the area. The extent, location, and type of litter should also be recorded. In addition, people such as the local sanitation workers should be interviewed about the problems they have observed. After doing these initial observations, it should be fairly clear where and how many waste receptacles are needed.
Good locations for waste receptacles are places where there are lots of people such as at busy intersections close to the crosswalks, next to take-out food shops or food vendors, at bus stops, in plazas, outside major building entrances (e.g., offices, department stores, residences), and near other street furniture such as benches or telephones.
The number of waste receptacles that are needed depends on the number of people who use an area, on the amount of litter generated by different land uses, and on the efficiency of the maintenance and sanitation program. On a downtown street, two to four waste receptacles per block is generally sufficient. One should be located at each end of the block next to the crosswalk, and one or two more in the middle of the block if there are benches or take-out food shops.
There are hundreds of different types of waste receptacles available. However, not many of them fulfill the requirements necessary to make them a good choice for a downtown street. In choosing a waste receptacle, there are several important qualities to look for.
The most important quality is that the waste receptacle looks like a place for depositing litter. All too often, in an attempt to make them blend into the environment, waste receptacles become unrecognizable as places to put rubbish. Although waste receptacles should be compatible with other street furniture and with the architectural character of the city, a waste receptacle should not ever hide its main function as a clearly recognizable place to deposit litter.
Equally important in the design of a good waste receptacle is that it is easy to use. Waste receptacles that have the following characteristics are best:
The following maintenance factors are important to consider in selecting a waste receptacle:
The New York City Department of Sanitation has recently established specifications for their new standard garbage bag that is sturdier and more resistant to puncturing and tearing than most bags. The bag is a 30-gallon polyethylene bag, 1.5 mm. thick, and costs 9 cents. However, no waste receptacle, even if it is well-designed, convenient to use, easy to empty, and properly located, will work well if it is not emptied regularly, well maintained, and moved, if necessary, to a better location. Therefore, establishing a good maintenance program and monitoring its effectiveness is an essential part of a good waste receptacle program.
There are many examples of effective and innovative programs. In Denver, responsibility for maintaining and servicing waste receptacles and other amenities on the 16th Street Mall has been contracted out to a mall management organization.
New York initiated an "adopt-a-basket" program in which private sponsors such as stores and other businesses provide maintenance and servicing of the receptacles. The sponsors also agree to clean the surrounding sidewalk.

Gorse is closely related to the brooms, and like them, has green stems and very small leaves and is adapted to dry growing conditions. However it differs in its extreme spininess, with the shoots being modified into branched spines 1–4 centimetres (0.39–1.6 in) long, which almost wholly replace the leaves as the plant's functioning photosynthetic organs. The leaves of young plants are trifoliate, but are later reduced to scales or small spines. All the species have yellow flowers, some with a very long flowering season.
SpeciesEditThe most widely familiar species is Common/European Gorse (Ulex europaeus), the only species native to much of western Europe, where it grows in sunny sites, usually on dry, sandy soils. It is also the largest species, reaching 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) in height; this compares with typically 20–40 centimetres (7.9–16 in) for Western Gorse (Ulex gallii). This latter species is characteristic of highly exposed Atlantic coastal heathland and montane habitats. Western gorse is replaced in the eastern part of Great Britain by Dwarf Furze (Ulex minor), a plant about 30 centimetres (12 in) tall, characteristic of sandy lowland heathland. Common gorse flowers a little in late autumn and through the winter, coming into flower most strongly in spring. Western Gorse and Dwarf Furze flower in late summer (August-September in Ireland and Britain). Between the different species, some gorse is almost always in flower, hence the old country phrase: "When gorse is out of blossom, kissing's out of fashion". Gorse flowers have a distinctive coconut scent, experienced very strongly by some individuals, but weakly by others.
Gorse may grow as a fire-climax plant, well adapted to encourage and withstand fires, being highly flammable, and having seed pods that are to a large extent opened by fire, thus allowing rapid regeneration after fire. The burnt stumps also readily sprout new growth from the roots. Where fire is excluded, gorse soon tends to be shaded out by taller-growing trees, unless other factors like exposure also apply. Typical fire recurrence periods in gorse stands are 5-20 years.
Gorse thrives in poor growing areas and conditions including drought; it is sometimes found on very rocky soils, where many species cannot thrive. Moreover, it is widely used for land reclamation (e.g., mine tailings), where its nitrogen-fixing capacity helps other plants establish better.
Gorse is a valuable plant for wildlife, providing dense thorny cover ideal for protecting bird nests; in Britain, France and Ireland, it is particularly noted for supporting European Stonechats and Dartford Warblers. The flowers are sometimes eaten by the larva of the Double-striped Pug moth and another moth, Coleophora albicosta feeds exclusively on Ulex.
As an invasive plantEdit
In many areas of North America, southern South America, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaiʻi, Common Gorse, introduced as an ornamental plant or hedge, has become naturalised and an invasive weed due to its aggressive seed dispersal; it has proved very difficult to eradicate.
Gorse readily becomes dominant in suitable conditions, and where this is undesirable for agricultural or ecological reasons control is required, either to remove gorse completely, or to limit its extent. Gorse stands are often managed by regular burning or flailing, allowing them to regrow from stumps or seed. Denser areas of gorse may be bulldozed.
Other AspectsEdit
Gorse flowers are edible and can be used in salads, tea and to make a non-grape-based "wine".
Gorse is high in protein and may be used as feed for livestock, particularly in winter when other greenstuff is not available. Traditionally it was used as fodder for cattle, being made palatable by being "bruised" (crushed)by hand using mallets, being ground to a moss-like consistency using hand- or water-driven mills, or finely chopped and mixed with straw chaff. Gorse is also eaten as forage by some livestock, such as feral ponies, who may eat little else in winter. Ponies may also eat the thinner stems of burnt gorse.
Gorse bushes are highly flammable, and in many areas bundles of gorse were used to fire traditional bread ovens.

Ex 'Fleetwood Mac' Star Lindsey Buckingham Slams Band In Shocking Lawsuit: 'I've Only Gotten Radio Silence!'
Lindsey Buckingham said he was heartbroken when he was suddenly cut off from Fleetwood Mac, and now the former lead guitarist is suing his former bandmates for breach of contract after he was dropped from the band's North American tour, according to court documents obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com
In a suit filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, Buckingham, 69, said he and other members — Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood — signed with Live Nation for a 60-show tour over the next two years, with each member poised to make about $12 to $14 million.
Buckingham claimed everyone in the band wanted to start the tour in August 2018, but he asked to push it to November because he wanted to work on his solo album. Nicks reportedly only wanted to do three shows a week, which meant the band's North American tour would take even longer.

The star said he and the other members agreed to Nicks' request, and the band managers negotiated with LiveNation for 60 shows in North America, which included Buckingham.
In the affidavit, Buckingham said from December 2017 to January 2018, he also was exploring his options on whether he could embark on a small tour to promote his solo album.
Buckingham claimed he made it clear he considered the Fleetwood Mac tour as a priority and would do "whatever was necessary" to participate on the tour. However, about a week after the band performed at the Jan. 28 MusiCares event, Buckingham said he was suddenly dropped not only from the planned tour, but also from the band he helped create.

Buckingham said he has repeatedly reached out to members of the band. In an email to Christie McVie, Buckingham wrote:
"After forty-three years and the finish line clear in sight, it's hard to escape the conclusion that for the five of us to splinter apart now would be the wrong thing. Wrong for the beautiful legacy we've built together. Wring for our legions of loyal fans who would hate to see the final act be a breakup. Wrong for ourselves, and all that we've accomplished and shared together."
Buckingham said after he sent the email, he also offered to fly to Maui to meet with Nicks and Fleetwood, but his offer was rebuffed by both.
Buckingham said while continued to make efforts to keep the band together, the other members allegedly "secretly, and unceremoniously, moved on without him, including hiring contract players to replace Buckingham's iconic vocals and guitar parts on the live performances of the recordings" he created.
PHOTOS: Cops Called To Paula Patton Home In Continuing Custody Fight With Robin Thicke
"On information and belied the other Partners, by wrongful excluding Buckingham, have sought to enrich themselves at Buckingham's expense. Buckingham brings this lawsuit in order to assure his rights to the usurped Fleetwood Mac Partnership opportunity."
In an interview on the CBS show "This Morning" on April 25, 2018, Fleetwood said, "This team wanted to get out on the road and one of the members did not want to get out on the road for a year."
Buckingham is suing for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.

In an email to Fleetwood dated February 28, 2018, Buckingham wrote he wondered whether the rift between him and the other band members was possibly caused by attorneys and management.
"In times past, the band has always relied on it's center, it's heart and soul to work through difficulties when they arose. But now, those around the edges — attorneys, management — have stepped in and rendered that center silent and impotent. Because of this, the only info and insights I've been able to get about things have come from those on the edges. And consequently, I wonder if there hasn't been an undue amount of intrigue and misinformation thrown into the mix. All of this breaks my heart."

The present invention relates to geomembrane liners, and more specifically to geomembrane liners facilitating detection of leaks therein.
Lining systems for containment systems (e.g., systems which contain bodies of water such as ponds) and the like are used to provide an "impermeable" barrier between contaminants and the underlying ground. Generally, these liners are made of insulating material (such as high density polyethylene) which, even if thoroughly tested to be defect free when shipped, can be damaged during shipping and/or installation by, for example, heavy equipment, cutting tools, welding equipment, animals, and vandalism, necessitating that a final leak check be conducted after the liner is installed to locate leaks caused by any such damage. The liner can also be damaged after it is covered by soil and/or liquid, including during its service life as a result, for example, of stones, rocks and/or settlement. Detecting such leaks is important, particularly where hazardous materials are involved, as holes as small as 1.0 millimeter in diameter may cause leaks on the order of a couple of gallons per day with one foot of water pressure.
Electrical leak location has heretofore been used which involves placing an electrical potential across a geomembrane and then locate the points of anomalous potential distribution where electrical current flows through leaks in the geomembrane. The electrical potential is typically applied utilizing a power supply with the positive electrode submerged in water or a soil layer above the geomembrane, and the negative electrode connected to the soil layer below. When there are leaks, electrical current flows through the leaks, which produces high current density and a localized anomaly in the potential distribution in the material above the geomembrane. Electrical measurements are made to locate those areas of anomalous signal at the leaks. ASTM D7002 and D7007, for example, include details pertaining to such tests. Such measurements have been made using a dipole or pole measurement configuration (though various types of data acquisition equipment can be used), with point by point measurements commonly made using either dipole or pole measurements along parallel lines on a grid pattern.
In one such method of electrically detecting liner leaks, for example, a potential is induced across the thickness of a liner. If a potential of one polarity is induced on one side of the sheet and a potential of the opposite polarity is induced on the opposite side of the sheet, the resulting electrical field will be affected if there is any conductivity from side to side across the sheet, with the effects on the conduction monitored to detect the presence of a leak. Such a detecting method requires an electrically conductive media both above and below the liner, which can be provided by liquid or soil above the liner and good electrical contact with a conductive underlying soil.
However, in some installations, electrically detecting leaks in the above described manner is unreliable. For example, if the liner is not maintained in good electrical contact with the earth (due to, e.g., use of double liners or other insulating materials, irregularities in the subgrade, and/or wrinkles in the liner) and/or the earth under the geomembrane is dry or not conductive or highly resistant (e.g., in a landfill or with a mining heap leach pad, secondary containment, or coal ash containment), reliable measurements of potential may not be obtained. Similarly, in some landfills, there is leak detection layer of either sand, gravel or geosynthetic product directly underneath the geomembrane for draining any leakage through the geomembrane to a detection site, which layer can inhibit or nullify the leak location survey due to the lack of conductivity of the material.
One solution to this unreliability arising from possibly insufficient electrical conductivity on the underside of the liner was suggested in U.S. Pat. No. 3,252,155, which disclosed placing the liner over or even adhesively secured to a metal foil sheet, where the foil would provide the required underlying conductivity. That technique was not widely accepted in the industry, however, as such foil is expensive, securing the metal foil to the liner, whether adhesively or mechanically, is extremely difficult to achieve, and the exposed metal foil could severely degrade as a result of, for example, galvanic corrosion, at the construction site.
Spencer U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,168 (the full disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference) has significantly improved upon the foil sheet suggestion by disclosing a liner having an electrically conductive layer provided by embedding conductive particles in the bottom of the layer. The integrity of the sheet is then monitored by establishing an electric field across the sheet and monitoring for sparks between a probe and the bottom, conductive plastic layer. Such spark testing has been accomplished, for example, with a test device that includes a high voltage power source with the positive lead attached to a brass brush and the negative lead attached to a conductive neoprene grounding pad laid on top of the geomembrane. See, for example, ASTM 7240.
Spark testing of seams in particular has heretofore been done such as detailed in ASTM D6365, wherein conductive material is inserted into the seam just prior to or during fabrication of the seam, with the conductive material connected to a negative terminal of a test apparatus and a positive voltage applied across the seam edge such that a suspect area in the seam is indicated by a spark from the voltage source to the conductive material.
While the Spencer '168 invention significantly improved leak detection in testing panels, it should be appreciated that during construction of a lined pond, leaks may be caused in a geomembrane panel which was found by testing to have no leaks immediately after liner installation (e.g., by puncturing a liner when it is covered in place by soil and/or water). Moreover, since such lined facilities are typically constructed using a plurality of geomembrane panels heat welded together along seams, testing of the individual panels will not detect leaks at the seams of the panels, where false and anomalous readings have been found. Still further, the conductivity of individual liner panels is often still insufficient for reliable testing, particularly where the liner panel is not maintained in good electrical contact with the earth (due to, e.g., use of double liners, irregularities in the subgrade, and/or wrinkles in the liner) and/or the earth is dry or not conductive.
In one aspect of the present invention, a geomembrane liner for a containment system is provided, including at least first and second liner panels having overlapping edges secured together, at least the first liner panel having a conductive lower surface. The first liner panel edge is sealed on top of the second liner panel edge along a first line wherein the first liner panel is non-conductive across the first line.
In one form of this aspect of the invention, the first liner panel edge is sealed on top of the second liner panel edge along a second line spaced from the first line, wherein the first liner panel is non-conductive across the second line.
In another form of this aspect of the invention, the geomembrane panels comprise a non-conductive member with an integral conductive media on the lower surface of the non-conductive member.
In still another form of this aspect of the invention, a lined containment system has a plurality of liner panels covering at least a portion of the containment system and includes a geomembrane liner according to this aspect of the invention.
In yet another form of this aspect of the invention, a method of leak testing geomembrane liners according to this aspect of the invention includes measuring electric potential across the liner at a plurality of points on its surface.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method of sealing a plurality of geomembrane panels together along adjacent edges is provided, where at least a first one of the panels has a conductive bottom surface for testing the sealed panels for leaks. The method includes (1) laying a second panel on a surface, (2) breaking the conductivity of the first panel bottom surface across a line adjacent to the side of the second panel, (3) heating the bottom surface of a first panel along the line, and (4) pressing the first and second panels together along the line to heat seal the bottom of the first panel on top of the second panel.
In one form of this aspect of the invention, the heating step includes sliding the bottom of the first panel against a heated element along the line, and the heated element includes a raised projection which interrupts the conductive lower surface of the first panel.
In still another aspect of the invention, a heat welder is provided for securing edges of adjacent geomembrane liner panels together, the geomembrane liner panels having conductive bottom surfaces and being overlapped along their edges. The welder includes a welder body having horizontally oriented overlapping first and second slots open on opposite lateral sides and merging together at the body rear end, and a drive for moving the welder body forward. A heating unit is located between the first and second slots and forward of the merger first and second slots, and defines a portion of a bottom wall of the first slot. At least one projection extends partially into the first slot for engaging the conductive bottom surface of the first one of the panels to interrupt the conductive bottom surface along a line as it passes the projection, wherein the merged slots press together liner panels in the slots to heat weld the first and second liner panels together along the line of the interrupted conductive bottom surface.
In one form of this aspect of the invention, the heating unit is a wedge having first and second laterally spaced sections, with each section defining a portion of a bottom wall of the top slot and a portion of a top wall of the bottom slot. The wall defining portions taper together at their rear ends adjacent the merger of the slots, with each including one of the projections. The merged slots are adapted to heat weld first and second liner panels together along substantially parallel lines corresponding to the interruptions in the conductive bottom surface of the first one of the panels,
In another form of this aspect of the invention, the projections extend longitudinally toward the body rear from a pointed end.
In still another aspect of the present invention, a heating unit is provided for use with a heat welder and includes a wedge mountable in the heat welder between its liner slots whereby the wedge defines part of an upper wall of the lower slot and the lower wall of the upper slot, and the defined upper and lower walls taper together to a point adjacent the merged slot of the heating unit. At least one projection extends from the wedge defined lower wall of the upper slot sufficiently to separate or interrupt a bottom portion of a liner panel passing through the upper slot over the projection while still maintaining the overall structural integrity of the panel.
In one form of this aspect of the invention, a heating element is provided for heating the wedge wall defining portions and the projection.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, a lined containment system is provided including a plurality of liner panels covering at least a portion of the containment system. Each liner panel is a geomembrane having a conductive lower surface with adjacent panels having overlapping edges secured together by a seam. Conductive members underlie adjacent panels and contact the conductive lower surface of both adjacent panels to provide an electrical connection between the conductive lower surfaces of the adjacent panels.
In one form of this aspect of the invention, the conductive layer is a section of a geomembrane having a conductive upper surface.
In another form of this aspect of the invention, the conductive layer is a grid of conductive media. In a further form, the conductive media comprises wires. In another further form, the conductive media comprises sections of geomembranes having a conductive upper surface.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a review of the entire specification, including the appended claims and drawings.

FIGS. 13 and 14 are partial and full perspective views, respectively, of a heat welder which may be used in accordance with the present invention, with the heat welder being shown in an open configuration with the contour rollers illustrated in phantom in their operative position when the welder is closed.
A heat welding apparatus 10 is disclosed in the Figures which may be used in accordance with the present invention to heat weld seams 14 between geomembrane panels 16, 18 (typically, rolls of plastic sheet) used to form a liner 20 for, for example, large containment areas, referred to herein generally as containment systems,
The panels 16, 18 are geomembranes formed of a suitable leak proof non-conductive material having a suitable integral conductive lower surface 25. The lower conductive surfaces of the individual panels 16, 18 may also be interconnected with a series of conductive geomembranes, wires, or other conductive media in a grid pattern, or other materials suitable for connecting individual panels. Moreover, in accordance with the present invention, the formed seams 14 between panels 16, 18 maybe be suitably tested for leaks even after covered with, for example, water and/or soil, allowing performance of a reliable leak location survey
In particular, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, seams 14 may be easily formed so as to avoid the anomalies found in testing liner seams heretofore. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the geomembrane panels 16′, 18′ have heretofore been connected in prior art liners 20′ by overlapping two edges of the panels 16′, 18′ and then heat welding the overlapping edges together along a seam 14′. Even where two such seams 14′ are formed as illustrated to help to guard against leaks between the overlapping edges, the conductive lower surface 25 of the seam flap 26′ of the top panel 16′ will carry current from above the liner 20′ through the seams 14′ to the bottom of the liner 20′ (i.e., at the right side of FIG. 3) where it is in contact with the underlying ground 27. Such conductivity through the seams 14′ provides a false identification of a leak in the liner 20′ along the seam 14′. Moreover, ignoring such current flow as being anomalous (or as indicating a leak through the seam(s) 14′) could cause actual leaks through the bottom panel 18′ near the flap 26′ of the overlying edge of the top panel 16′ to be overlooked.
In accordance with the present invention, the seam(s) 14 between adjacent panels may be advantageously heat welded continuously along the length of the overlapping edges of adjacent panels 16, 18 wherein the conductive layer 25 on the bottom of the top panel 16 is interrupted along the parallel lines of the seam(s) 14 during the heat welding process (see FIG. 6). As a result, the seam(s) 14 between adjacent panels 16, 18 will not allow electric current to flow between the top and bottom of the system through the liner seam(s), and thus reliable leak test readings may be obtained even at the seam(s) 14.
The heat welding apparatus 10 and formation of the sea s 14 will now be described.
Specifically, a heat welding apparatus 10 which may be advantageously used in connection with the present invention includes a body 40 having front and rear ends 42, 44. As best seen in FIG. 4, the body 40 defines top and bottom slots 50, 52 extending between the front and rear ends 42, 44, each slot 50, 52 being generally horizontally oriented and arranged to accept the overlapping edges of adjacent panels 16, 18.
As best understood from FIGS. 4, 5 and 14, the slots 50, 52 of the apparatus (heat welder) 10 are also open on opposite lateral sides of the body 40, so that the welder 10 may be oriented so that it too overlaps with the overlapping edges of the panels 16, 18. The apparatus is suitably supported by front and rear wheels 60, 62 so that it may move relative to the panels 16, 18 and may be suitably driven by nip rollers 64 (as indicated by the arrows 65; see FIGS. 9-11) to pull the heat welder 10 along the panels 16, 18 in the direction of arrow 66.
It should be understood that while the apparatus slots 50, 52 may be described as extending horizontally, such horizontal orientation refers to the slots 50, 52 extending generally from the front to rear ends 42, 44, with the slots 50, 52 providing a non-planar path which merges together at the rear end 44 of the apparatus 10.
Moreover, it should be understood that while the slots 50, 52 may be described as having top and bottom walls for simplicity of description, such description encompasses guiding members 70 such as contour rollers and/or partial walls. As such, "slots" as described generally herein would encompass any structure in which the edges of the panels 16, 18 may be moved through the apparatus while maintaining their generally horizontal orientation without buckling or folding.
The welder 10 includes a heating unit 80 between the slots 50, 52 and forward of the merger of the slots 50, 52 at the apparatus rear end 44. Advantageously, the heating unit 80 defines a portion of a bottom wall of the top slot 50 and a portion of the top wall of the bottom slot 52 and is wedge shaped so as to be tapered together at its rear end. The heating unit 80 is suitably heated so that the panels 16, 18 which pass over the heating unit 80 have their faces heated sufficiently so that when the panels 16, 18 are pressed together in the merged path at the apparatus rear end 44, they are heat welded.
As illustrated, the heating unit 80 includes two laterally spaced heating sections 82, 84, for forming a seal having two parallel seams 14, though it should be understood that it would be within the scope of the present invention to provide a single heat welded seam, or more than two seams if desired.
Moreover, in accordance with the present invention, at least one heating section 82, 84 of the heating unit 80 also includes at least one projection or fin 90 extending partially into the top slot 50 from below.
The fin 90 may advantageously be of any shape suitable to melt through the conductive thin layer on the bottom surface 25 of overlapping edge of the top panel 16 as it passes through the slot 50 and past the projection 90. Moreover, while the fin 90 may advantageously be shaped as illustrated, with a pointed leading (forward) edge, the shape and size could vary while still providing at least some of the advantages of the present invention.
Further, the fin 90 may be an integral part of the heating unit 80, or it may advantageously be provided on an insert 92 in a recessed pocket in the heating unit 80 and removably secured therein by, for example, a countersunk screw 94. Still further, for heating units 80 such as illustrated which have more than one heating section 82, 84, it should be appreciated that a projection 90 may be provided on both sections 82, 84 to provide redundancy, although at least some of the advantages of the present invention could be provided with a projection 90 provided on only one of the sections 82, 84.
It should thus be appreciated that as the two heated panels 16, 18 are pressed together behind the heating unit 80 by the nip rollers 64, each of which have two sections aligned with the two fins 90, respectively for forming the heat welded seams 14 along the length of the panels 16, 18. The welder 10 will thus form a pair of parallel seals 14 between the overlapping adjacent panels 16, 18 wherein, as shown in FIG. 6, there is no conductive layer passing through either of the seams 14—that is, there will be no current flow through across the seams 14 such as has heretofore provided anomalous and erroneous readings when leak testing. (It should be appreciated also that it would be within the scope of the present invention to form only one such seam 14).
Yet another embodiment of the present invention allows for reliable leak testing of liners formed of a plurality of panels even when used in applications where the liner may not be not maintained in good electrical contact with the earth (due to, e.g., use of double liners, irregularities in the subgrade, and/or wrinkles in the liner) and/or the earth is dry or not sufficiently conductive.
Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 12, in accordance with this aspect of the invention, a conductive member 100 may be provided beneath adjacent geomembrane liner panels 116, 118 having conductive bottom surfaces 125. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the conductive member 100 is an inverted section of a geomembrane liner panel with a conductive surface on one side—laid upside down with the conductive surface 130 on top so that it contacts the conductive bottom surfaces 125 of both of the liner panels 116, 118.
While the conductive member 100 may extend continuously underneath the adjacent liner panels 116, 118, spanning across the two so as to place them in electrical contact with each other, it should be appreciated that the member 100 may also consist of spaced short sections or strips of conductive geomembranes conductively connecting the adjacent panels 116, 118 at spaced locations along the seam(s). In fact, it should be appreciated that virtually any conductive member 100 could be used, including a grid of spaced wires or other conductive media laid beneath the liner, so long as it allows for the individual panels to effectively provide a single conductive bottom surface across the plurality of panels defining the liner 120.
It should be appreciated that while FIG. 12 illustrates this aspect of the invention with a seam incorporating the first aspect of the invention (i.e., with the conductive bottom surface 25 of the top liner panel 16 broken), the advantages of this second aspect of the invention (i.e., a conductive interconnection of the bottom surfaces of adjacent liner panels) could be provided with even prior art seams such as illustrated in FIG. 3. However, the full advantages of both aspects of the invention may be provided by the configuration illustrated in FIG. 12.
As previously noted, leak detection sensitivity depends on the conductivity of the materials above and below the geomembrane. As also previously noted, standard leak detection tests may use either water or moisture in the soil to transmit voltage above the geomembrane, and standard testing may utilize water or moisture in the soil below the liner for a grounding source. If there is a hole in the geomembrane then the voltage introduced in the above material will flow through the hole and to the grounding source underneath the geomembrane creating a current for leak detections. However, as also previously noted, where the material underneath the geomembrane does not have enough (or consistent) moisture to provide a suitable grounding source, such leak location testing could not heretofore be suitably performed.
With a liner 120 formed according to this aspect of the invention, leak surveys can be accomplish with direct connection to a minimum number of panels (i.e., any one of interconnected panels). The bottom conductive surfaces 125 of the electrically interconnected geomembrane panels (e.g., 116, 118) provide a single grounding source underneath the liner 120 to allow the leak location survey to be performed over entire geomembrane surface. Since the conductive layer (bottom surfaces 125 and conductive member 100) is always in intimate contact with the geomembrane panels 116, 118, and the conductivity is consistent regardless of the conductivity of the underlying layers, leak surveys can be more effectively performed when the conductive layer is utilized.
It should also be appreciated that leak detection of liners 20 formed of a plurality of panels 16, 18 according to the present invention may be performed using a variety of leak testing methods, including spark testing according to ASTM 7240. Moreover, leak detection of the seams of liners 20 formed according to the present invention could also be accomplished by spark testing according to ASTM 6365, with conductive material inserted into the seal (e.g., between the seams 14) and spark testing performed in the area of the seams 14.
It should thus be appreciated that the present invention as disclosed herein allows for containment system liners to be more easily, economically and reliably inspected using an electrical inspection apparatus to detect leaks. Such inspections can be made without the need for maintaining good electrical contact with conductive natural surroundings outside the liner. Furthermore, other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a review of the entire specification including any appended claims and drawings.
It should be appreciated that the invention may include any or all of the above-described features, include only one of the above features, more than one of the above features, and any combination of the above features. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such features may be achieved by use of fewer than all of the above-described structural elements, including combinations less than all of the above-described structural elements.


text: The UN General Assembly should, in theory, be our planet's most consequential gathering of leaders. In practice, however, it's been little more than a platform of grandstanding and, by extension, a source of great entertainment. The most amusing moment came when Donald Trump took center stage to brag about his own greatness, causing laughter to break out in the world body, which is incredibly ironic for a man who once specifically said that what America needs was a "a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World." Israel's Netanyahu tried to give Trump a run for his money, but he showed up to the podium with the same old props & Iran-focused war-mongering, which is less funny the 10th time around. Oh, as for the substance of the fear-mongering, US intelligence officials described Netanyahu's claims about the supposedly newly discovered nuclear facilities as "misleading," noting the warehouse Bibi alluded to was "full of file cabinets and paper, not aluminum tubes for centrifuges." Oops! But it's a post-truth world, so no one cares.

In several languages I am aware of the word or phrase of greeting is both hello and goodbye. That factoid has become significant to me.
Last week we had dinner with friends on two successive nights. We are currently in the goodbye phase of our moving. We have all experienced it. This is the period in which we bid farewell to friends and acquaintances that we will no longer be seeing regularly and, truth be told, many we will probably not see again.
It always seems strange to me that moving on to an exciting new chapter of life is a mixed bag emotionally. To get to the life-giving future requires me to give up the present. The "Hello!" requires a number of "Goodbyes!"
But it is not possible to move into the future unless we are willing to release the past and present. Releasing them does not mean forgetting them or throwing them away, or devaluing them. It means that I accept that the future will in some way be different and I need to relax my grip on the present allowing it to move into the past in order to allow myself to move into the future.
This Goodbye /Hello phenomenon is as true for organizations as it is of people. We can bring with us what we value from the past but we cannot recreate the past in the future. We have to be willing to say goodbye to some things if we want to say hello to others.
The goodbyes make it possible for the hellos to become deep and real. So Nancy and I are saying goodbyes and feeling the loss of friendships and familiarity. But we also greatly anticipate the hellos that await us on our journey into the future.

Pheromone Perfume Singapore: Cheat at Love with the Science Pheromones
Love is hard enough to find but what if you have a hard time attracting anyone in any way. All of us deserve love but how will you ever believe it is in the event that you can't turn a single head your way. You wonder why you cannot find love and your self-esteem visits rock bottom.

Pheromone from Your Bottle are Cheating but in a Good Way
In your body, mind and soul, you know you would like a partner and it can be heartbreaking to be alone. If you have lower pheromone amounts or are just past your so called prime, go ahead and be unfaithful with pheromone colognes.
On the other hand intercourse pheromones start the sexual desires in animals. They aids in lots of ways starting from getting the indicators whether there is any reputation of the partner for mating purpose and finding the possible lover. There are certain pheromones that may even communicate different information about their species as well as the hereditary constitution. On the other hand aggregation pheromones is a chemical substance that is released by the both the genders of the particular species whilst to attract the people of both sexes. Bees and many other animals are also found who continue to be researched to know do pheromones work within their case also.
- There are quiet a few companies that produce these perfumes and colognes that have the particular sexual attractant in them.
- They make this for both men and women.
- Most companies have a rating system for how strong the product is and have different numbers of this.
- You can find these products either online or in certain specialty stores.
- Remember some companies have outrageously expensive perfumes so buyer beware.
- They are generally used to inspire thoughts of attraction and warmness in others.
- These perfumes amplify the natural chemicals your body all ready creates.
Do Not Feel Bad Because It is Not Your Fault
Some people just send out a love indication or even more accurately, a love smell yet others just do not really. Studies show that certain body odors boost affectionate and also sexual attraction. Scientists have proven in the lab that this powerful scent called pheromones actually increase blood flow to the sexual organs.
- However, regardless of hours of exercise and also the healthiest diet, your pheromones levels will even now continue to decrease as you grow older.
- And while that might have worked fifty or a hundred years ago, a whole life relationship is a rare thing today.
- You need to be able to make that connection with someone at any stage in your life.
Do You Obtain Girls Tonight?
Of course you are able to, but pheromones won't undertake it for you. It won't happen right away given it actually takes practice. Personally, i had to spend a lot more than 2 years to learn these things at a point where I can probably go up in order to numerous girls and get their numbers easily. Also, using those girls I often will get a date with 1 using 4 of them. This could actually mean you can find A few dates a week easily. You have to divulge the grind, but thankfully people have done all the theory to suit your needs of figuring out how to make it happen and all you have to do is take some measures.
Dogs are known to put in their own pheromones, which is there in their urine about explicit attractions to identify the border of the required territory. This explains how pheromones perform. Territorial pheromones help him or her establish this territory. Also the ants secrete the trail pheromones which will help them move in the highly disciplined form. It may also help all of them to return back from their home after they have collected the food and guide other ants as well.
The Moral in the Story:
The pheromone people scamming you. There is not a such thing as a magic potion to get girls. The only thing that can work is you. That's right, you have to build skills on bringing in females and you'll be amazed by the amount of success you can actually get. How do people build these skills? Just like any other skill you might have it requires practice. You have to go out, approach girls, talk to them, try to attract them and figure out how to go on dates using them.
Pheromones are Genuinely the Elixir of Adore
Sexual attraction is a primal instinct with a deep connection to the heart and soul. Pheromones tend to be your own animal magnetism and the path to finding a long term relationship. Even when you have low pheromone ranges, it is possible to attract a partner subliminally with a little help from science.
The Just What and the Reason Why of Pheromones
Pheromones are hormones that draw us on a subconscious level to be able to members of the opposite (or same) sex. To maintain the human race recreating the healthiest species achievable, we are actually drawn to people we all are best mated with biologically. This clarifies why we are extremely drawn to someone even if it makes absolutely no logically sense.
Pheromones and that Dating World
That dating scene is becoming more known to be as a competitive place in regards to forming new relationships. Majority of the women are often neared and expect you'll be hit on guys every time that they go available. With this in head, you can understand that frustration levels in men right after these are rejected each and every time an opportunity presents again. It can really generate a night fail.
Pheromones For Males - What do They Do? Pheromones are very tiny natural and organic molecules that are secreted by means of the glands, particularly by means of the scalp (hair) and the pores and skin. Beings of the exact species, i.e., people and people today, animals and animals, can...
Whenever you are out to meet brand-new and exciting people, you want to come with an atmosphere of trust around you so as to put them at ease and comfort. Only when this is performed, are you going to get the results you need when approaching or speaking with members of the opposing sex. This is what a lot of people fail to realize.
- The different types of chemical compounds can be used in either positive or negative ways.
- Hostility, territorial, and alarm chemical compounds are all released through the human sweat gland.
- Really is possible to have a beautiful face, a very hot body as well as a great personality but still not attract that specific someone.
- Without the powerful sexual aroma of pheromones, you might never find love.
- If you were short changed by Mother nature, it will only get worse as pheromones start to decline in your twenties.
- Some say that the pheromones when they were tested improved the interest of the opposite gender.
- These were tested by Abc news and WebMD in two separate studies.
- It makes sense that wearing the chemical that attracts someone to you'd work.
You are looking for a mate or a sexual spouse it is a good idea to consider using one of these if you think you do not produce enough of the attractant pheromone. There are a lot of different types and different places to obtain these chemicals. Sometimes it will make another person feel protective towards you or even attracted to you.
Get More Pheromones and Also Love Inside Your Life
Regular perfumes and also colognes just do not work. If you want to find your personal true love, you have to increase your sexual pheromone amounts. You can do this naturally with workout, which usually increases creation and with certain healthy foods such as vegetables, many fruits and also whole grains. Foods high in zinc and the protein L-arginine have also been found in order to trigger pheromone release as does chocolate and also oysters.
Depending on What Chemical is Used They Have Different Has an Effect on
There are several different types of these chemicals some inspire alarm, aggression, food response, and sexual reactions. These are present in all forms of animal and pest life although insects have a tendency to use them more than animals or people do. Humans produce these all of which will purchase these as a sexual attractant.

You can Get These Kinds of Attractants from Several Different Companies
There are perfumes, lotions, and body washes the include these chemicals. These are made to attract the opposite gender. They work by giving you more of the scent that makes you attractive. Putting them on you are said to be more apparent or more approachable.
Alarm pheromone directs special signals to the members of the same species. It is done when an organism is attacked or he is about to have a fight with his enemy. In fact vegetation also discharge pheromones, when attacked. The surrounding crops in such case release these chemicals and make the food which the foe can not eat properly.
So i basically was head over heals for this girl in my grade and because I thought that pheromones attracted a lot of women, I bought it just by her. I was so excited to look at got it and also carefully sprayed only 2 sprays as being the box recommended. It smelled enjoy water, but I wore the idea to school that day and I thought that this ladies would be looking at me left and right much like any Axe commercial. To help my surprise, nobody said anything, nobody cared and that girl I liked explained that she had some sort of boyfriend.
- These pheromones are chemicals that cause others to be able to react different ways to the individual.
- They are bottled in both male and female types of these chemicals.
- This is done to get those around you in social situations to respond differently to you.
Also have noticed women used pheromone fragrance to seduce guys additionally. Though, they usually retain this to themselves. The dating and relationship world has become a more complex thing to learn. People attract others in accordance with the proper chemistry that they also have for each other.
The most special of all of them are the human pheromones which improve the sex drive and prove as to the reasons pheromones use this kind of specialty. There are so many companies that even sell human pheromones that are supposed to acquire aphrodisiac properties. The amount of scientific studies existing on human pheromones will be even so very limited.

There should be no such thing as "defensive tactics" in Harbhajan's book against Lara. His simple three-step strategy should be attack, attack and more attack. He should not chicken out, bowling a flat trajectory just to contain him. Even if Lara mauls him, he should attack. Sometimes Harbhajan goes around the stump to left-handers. I feel he should do so only if he feels he is going to take Lara's wicket and not just to thwart his attack. Keep Lara in uncertainty through variations. Keep a good line and length even in the face of attack. And he should keep bowling long spells till he is sent back to the dressing room.
Sivaramakrishnan to Kumble
Lara is coming out of an injury and for any batsman that's a difficult phase. As soon as Lara's in, Kumble should be brought into the attack. Kumble should attack with every ball even if Lara scores off him initially. There's no point trying to contain Lara. Kumble shouldn't use the googly too often; he should use it as a surprise element for that will be his chief weapon against Lara. There is a good chance that Kumble's extra bounce and pace may get Lara. And preferably, Ajay Ratra should keep wickets to Kumble.
Madanlal to srinath & co.
Srinath and Co should try and move the ball very early in Lara's innings. Srinath should get his lethal in-swinger working which, for Lara, will be the ball that moves away. Our medium pacers should look at bowling six good balls in an over, consistently. Bouncers will be a great weapon against Lara since it'll make him think twice before going on the front foot. We're better off with Lara on the back foot but only just as he pulls very well too. A good line outside off-stump is essential.

Fresno FC, the San Joaquin Valley's first pro soccer team, ended their season with a friendly against Mexico's stars, Club Leon, Nov. 14. León, the seven-time Liga MX México Primera winners earned the title in 1948, 1949, 1952, 1956, 1992, Apertura 2013 and most recently, Clausura 2014.
The game broke anticipation when in the second minute, trialist No. 26, Qudus Lawal, scored a goal off of an incredible through ball to invite a one-on-one with the León goalie. Given an incredible boost of momentum the Foxes maintained a gradual control possession of the ball.
While the Foxes led most of the first half with a one goal lead, Club León lead the first half in shots. Then minutes before halftime their efforts paid off with a dipping shot from Mauro Boselli just outside the 18-yard box right over the outstretched arms of FFC goalkeeper, Kyle Reynish.
That surmised the events of the first half ending with the teams entering the locker room at half level.
When the teams entered back onto the field, two changes were made to the lineups. Both teams changed their goalkeepers. Sam Howard, the Fresno Christian goalkeeping coach, entered the game and kept a clean sheet allowing no goals in the entire second half ending the season with excellence.
During the middle of the second half, Fresno FC changed their lineup through a flurry of subs which included the substitution of center back Ramon Martin Del Campo, the Fresno Christian boys soccer team head coach.
First-year member of the soccer team Zane Munoz, '21, attended the match on Wednesday along with ten other guys on the campus varsity soccer team.
"I really enjoyed the game, it was cool to see our coach on the field and playing instead of just as a coach," Munoz said. "I had fun watching the game and felt just like the real experience of a professional sports game. I got to hang out with my friends and get food from the food trucks."
Throughout the game, campus varsity soccer players watched in anticipation as this seasons boys head coach, Ramon Martin Del Campo, started at center back and remained in until the end of the game, holding together the teams defense as a leader.
The Foxes end this season with a 9-13-12 record, placing 12th in the USL Western Conference. With the season over, the team looks forward to the next year in hopes of a successful regular season to lead them to victory in the postseason.

A restaurant, bar and hotel in Solva Pembrokeshire has gone on the market with Christie + Co with an asking price of £1.5m.
The Cambrian Inn, a three-storey, extended period property dating back to the 1700s, has been owned by Jeremy & Marzena Barton since 2011 who have heavily invested in the business since acquisition.
Renovations included a new commercial kitchen, plumbing, electrical and fire alarm systems and a total refurbishment of the guest rooms and trade areas.
The Cambrian Inn features a split trading area with a bar and dining room with capacity for over 80 covers combined.
There is also a terrace to the front of the property with additional seating for 36 covers.
Five bedrooms comprise the bed and breakfast aspect of the business, and there is a newly built, one bedroom self-contained flat to the rear of the property.
Jeremy & Marzena Barton are now looking at other opportunities in another sector.
Jeremy comments: "We have both enjoyed, along with the fantastic team who work at The Cambrian Inn, renovating the property and the challenge of building up the business to what it is today: a popular and profitable place to eat, drink or sleep. However, a mixture of other business opportunities and increasing family commitments mean we are looking to pass on ownership of this little gem to the next couple, family, or investor who can enjoy it as it is or take it to the next level."
Corrina Jones, business agent – licensed based in Christie & Co's Cardiff office who is handling the sale comments: "The business has gone from strength to strength but there is still scope to increase revenue. Mr & Mrs Barton have only recently completed the refurbishments and there is further potential to increase trade. Current advertising is limited and they do not currently advertise on booking sites. This business would suit either an experienced operator looking to expand their property portfolio or a first-time operator looking for a lifestyle change."

Report: Legendary sportscaster Keith Jackson dies at 89
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. – Keith Jackson, who is often referred to as "the voice of college football," died Friday night at age 89, according to ESPN.
No cause was given in a statement Saturday by ESPN. Jackson's longtime employer was ABC Sports.
Jackson covered many sports, but he was best known for college football. His signature phrases like "Whoa, Nelly!" gave his game calls a familiar feel.
Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger says Jackson "was college football" for generations of fans.
"For generations of fans, Keith Jackson was college football," Bob Iger, the Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, told ESPN. "When you heard his voice, you knew it was a big game. Keith was a true gentleman and a memorable presence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Turi Ann, and his family."
Current and former players expressed their condolences on Twitter Saturday, with Dallas' Tim Brown even calling Jackson "the fabric of college football."

Public "thank you!" to david walker from (me!) sandra, tvgp
i came across one of your Christmas cards at cost plus world market, and audible laughter could be heard inside the store..
turns out it was the only item I would be purchasing, but the line at the register was like, 20 people deep, and so I put it back and left for home.
but then I found myself making a u-turn, heading back, re-finding parking, going back inside the store, re-finding the card and waiting in line to pay for it
and everyone I show it to laughs and smiles. So.. way worth it.
With your permission, /which i have via email requested, I will post it here..
-you know the one... Santa, the sleigh, and two reindeer..
anyway.. "thank you!" for the laughter and the smiles; awesome return on investment.

Evaluating Kitchen Layouts
The layout of your kitchen is every bit as important as the finish materials you choose. What you really want is a layout/design that fits your lifestyle. Here's a quick look at some popular options.
When deciding on a layout you'll want to consider both your lifestyle (what role the kitchen plays in your home) and the amount of space you have to work with.

Today's the 125th anniversary of the dedication of the Eiffel Tower. Truly a beautiful structure.
The weather yesterday was actually like Spring. Not quite as warm as they had forecast but if you were out of the wind all you needed was a sweatshirt to be quite comfortable. Hallelujah, and pass the ammunition. It's about damn time. Supposed to be warm again today as well.
Started the chore list by hanging the harness brackets on the front of the barn. I installed a pair of backer boards prior to sheeting the barn so all it really took was to get out the tools and have at it. I still need to close in around the door openings. That's going to require getting some more aluminum and renting the brake again but that will just about finish up the barn. That and replacing one of the roof sheets that got damaged when it blew down.
Drug out the old Peugeot mountain bike and my one road bike and aired up the tires. The mountain bike was my winter commuter when I was at the high school. It's all geeked out so I could take the back roads and ride home in the dark.
The big headlight is a cheap Wal-Mart light designed for a big six volt battery. I chopped the back end off the thing and made up an aluminum adapter to fit the bracket I had made for a regular flashlight. I've a similar bracket on the road bike that holds a small flashlight in place with a couple of "O" rings. It puts out about as much light as a cheap bicycle headlight but is handy if you need a flashlight for a breakdown or as a back up light around camp at night. The mountain bike has a cheap bicycle headlight as the back up that you can sort of see in the photo. Anyway, I took a little spin and both of them seem to be road ready. I'll give them a closer look before venturing out too far but it's time to ride.
Did a bunch of other little chores yesterday, as well. I sewed up a boxing glove for the gym in the morning while waiting for it to warm up a little, put a new sparkplug and changed the oil in the snowblower, put a screen in the bedroom window before "Little Miss Hot Flash" goes into meltdown, and took the fork brace in the photo off the old race bike so I could pass it along to Surly for his Sportster project. I measured up for the dog fence in the backyard and did a little piddlin' around the barn and yard. All in all, both a productive and enjoyable day.
Man it felt good to be outside with out a snow shovel in my hands. I know we've got a few chilly days left yet but I needed the one yesterday. It's amazing how much a little warmth and sunshine can improve the mental health.
Have a good week.

Kylie Jenner (right) and her sister Kendall
News that Kylie Jenner may become the world's youngest female billionaire, by he time she's 21, shows us once again that capitalism is a good idea in theory, but doesn't work in practice.
The system, it is alleged, is meant to encourage us to entrepreneurship and enterprise. The effect of this sudden fortune – from a cosmetics company, wholly owned by Jenner, going viral repeatedly – has the opposite effect: it simply reminds you that the system is overwhelmingly aristocratic, often in disguised forms, transferring cultural capital between close networks.
Kylie Jenner is, after all, a Kardashian; and the Kardashians gained their fame because their father, Robert Kardashian, was OJ Simpson's best friend, and was by his side throughout his first trial. The OJ trial was both the final event of mass culture and the ur-event of modern celebrity – a freeway chase broadcast in real time, a trial with 100% coverage. The rambunctious Kardashian kids could already give soundbites by the end of it. Their multibillion-dollar empire is simply the long dividend of that ghastly event.
But while contemplating one's own net worth, it's worth asking the question: is Kylie Jenner really worth $900 million? What does that even mean? The question is worth posing, especially on the left, because we continually use various appalling statistics – the top eight (or 23 or 55) richest people are worth as much as the bottom 50% of the world, etc – without much regard to their usefulness, or their propaganda for capitalism itself.
What's the real value of a $900 million valuation of a company that is purely image and branding (the production of Jenner's cosmetics is wholly outsourced)? By one measure, it would be what could be got for the company now, as a 100% sale. Could anything like $900 million in cash, or better stock be got for this meme? Quite possibly, Jenner could get a deal involving quite a bit of cash, and solid stock, and a lot of exchanged non-solid stock (i.e. in the company that was buying her out), but nothing like $900 million. Even if she found a gullible megacorp, the brand would probably tank in a couple of years, leaving a hole in accumulated value for the sector as a whole.
Such questions were made visible by the recent attempt by the very non-Kardashian Ruslan Kogan and Kogan co-owner David Shafer to sell $100 million of shares in the household goods company. They got no viable offers and the spectacle of the eponymous company's founder selling off dropped the share price by 12%. They later took an offer of $42 million for a smaller parcel. So how much is Kogan – a far more real company than Jenner's — actually worth?
The question needs to be posed repeatedly of a capitalism now based overwhelmingly on branding, image, consumption, memes and algorithms, because this new strata now forms a layer of mutually supporting mega-valuations that cannot be cashed out. Yes, capital was ever thus: a non-physical projection of value into the future. But as an economy becomes more composed of knowledge-culture production and its products, that gap widens to an abyss.
The West is rich, but the world is not nearly as rich as capitalism would suggest it is: which is one reason why Western cities have been in decline as social entities, why wages are squeezed decade-on-decade. The value, to the public, of the combined plant, labour, potential and practices of an economy need to be calculated entirely separately to the sticker price capitalism would like to put on what are now a series of networked practices – Google, Facebook, Amazon – which are socialist/communist-in-embryo. That applies to the other end of things as well.
Taking the IMF, etc, valuations that X billion people live on $2 a day and then comparing that to Jeff Bezos is comparing one imaginary figure to another. What the world's poorest have is agricultural kinship-society lives, intersecting with capital at various points. To value that whole existence at the price of its received cash income, land value as commodity etc, is to pre-commodify it, removing all the non-quantifiable value, in a form of circular logic. Such a logic only serves as a precursor to neoliberal developmentalism: the sweeping away of ways of life as a set of intangibles.
That is not to say that such societies do not need, want and deserve better equipment, education, medical services, scientific practices etc. But the misapplication of wealth estimation at both ends is both false and disempowering. The megarich are not worth trillions; they're mostly a network of grifters using paper value to live a multi-millionaire lifestyle on current account. The real value in the system will be far easier to transform than such hypervaluations suggest – and the excluded poor have lives that could be improved with far less capital than such yawning disparities suggest. Capitalism, the system that could once throw railroads across continents and turn villages into megalopolises, can now, at its old metropolitan centres, barely get a rapid rail line completed in three decades, keep a hospital system going, provide housing, even for the employed. Don't flatter it. It's become a pig of a system, and all it's good for is to provide the lipstick.
This crisis will cut hard and deep but one day it will be over.
What will be left? What do you want to be left?
I know what I want to see: I want to see a thriving, independent and robust Australian-owned news media. I want to see governments, authorities and those with power held to account. I want to see the media held to account too.

Vastavam web: Iran's foreign minister said today he was hopeful of forging a "clear future design" for the nuclear deal facing collapse after Washington's withdrawal, at the start of a diplomatic tour aimed at rescuing the agreement."We hope that with this visit to China and other countries we will be able to construct a clear future design for the comprehensive agreement," Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters after talks in Beijing with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
Zarif will later fly to Moscow and Brussels to consult the remaining signatories to the 2015 agreement denounced by US President Donald Trump.As he arrived in Beijing, Zarif said Tehran was "ready for all option(s)", according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
"If the nuclear deal is to continue, the interests of the people of Iran must be assured," he added.After their meeting, Zarif and Wang hailed the "comprehensive strategic partnership" between their countries, with the Chinese minister saying: "I hope and believe that these visits to multiple countries will… help protect Iran's legitimate national interests and peace and stability in the region."Before leaving, Zarif published a government statement on his Twitter page, slamming Trump's "extremist administration" for abandoning "an accord recognised as a victory of diplomacy by the international community".
It reiterated that Iran was preparing to resume "industrial scale" uranium enrichment "without any restrictions" unless Europe provided solid guarantees it could maintain trade ties despite renewed US sanctions.Trump hit back last evening, tweeting that the accord had failed to contain Iran's militarism."Iran's Military Budget is up more than 40 per cent since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached… just another indicator that it was all a big lie," he wrote. Tehran, which has sought to avoid an escalation in a regional conflict that could alienate its European partners, has not commented on whether its forces were hit.
Israel and its allies have blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guards for initiating Thursday's exchange by launching missiles into the occupied Golan Heights.Iran denies the claims, saying the Israeli strikes were launched on "invented pretexts".Meanwhile, European diplomats in Tehran fumed that Trump's decision to withdraw from the deal could undermine years of patient work to restore commercial and diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic.Iranian hardliners — who have long opposed President Hassan Rouhani's moves to improve ties with the West — are already mobilising against the efforts to save the nuclear deal.
Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of the Revolutionary Guards, said the country could not rely on the West."We hope recent events will lead us not to trust in the West and even Europeans," he said Sunday, according to the conservative-linked Fars news agency.

EEE teachers Dr. Wilton Fok, Dr. Alfred Yu, Dr. Philip Pong and Dr. YC Wu led a team of 43 HKU students to Sichuan to design and install an on-line multimedia e-learning system for a reconstructed school Yuanjia Primary School in Deyang. The system was successfully installed in three days on Aug 5, 2009, immediately followed by the First Sichuan-Hong Kong interactive class launching ceremony in the afternoon. During the on-line interactive class, students from the earthquake hit Yuanjia Primary School at Sichuan had shared their experience with Hong Kong students via the system. They shared their learning experience and feelings about the earthquake and play interactive games using the newly installed system. The system has been designed aiming at linking students between Sichuan and Hong Kong in an easy and effective way in the future.
Mr Joshua Law, Permanent Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs; Ir Dr Hon Raymond HO Chung-tai, Member of the Legislative Council and Hong Kong delegate to the National People's Congress; Professor Chow, Shew-Ping, HKU Pro-Vice-Chancellor had addressed the participants in the launching ceremony.
