All this time I'd thought (Sandy) Alex G (a.k.a. Alex Giannascoli) was haplessly clutching to his lo-fi foundations when, in fact, he'd been tactfully reinventing them completely. Giannascoli has long been one of the most creative and interesting figures in lo-fi indie. He's released a number of the genre's finest works this decade; Rules and Trick both showed a talented songwriter with clear reverence of Elliott Smith; DSU and Rocket messed around with broader styles and growing depths of instrumentation, spinning out like subtly experimental and mostly excellent sound palettes.
And yet, Giannascoli's reverb-flushed vocals and wild snippets of stylistic unpredictability were beginning to feel like pretexts for his hesitation to properly venture into hi-fi recording and production. Perhaps pessimistically, I thought Giannascoli may forever confine himself to his own indie lo-fi haven.
House of Sugar proves me wrong. Not only does it rubbish the idea that Giannascoli was ever restricted to a lo-fi sound, but it's so decisively triumphant that it transforms how one hears his previous records. It dawns on lead single 'Gretel', where the production is so immaculately measured to the point of indietronica, that House of Sugar is clearly the impressive zenith built of a series of long term progressions over the course of his (still young) career. House of Sugar feels directly descended from a host of Giannascoli's previous releases, and yet it also definitively surpasses all of them.
House of Sugar itself is split into three rather distinct chunks that are in equal parts nostalgic, culminative and forward-looking. The first four or so tracks blister through as one of the finest sequence of tracks in indie this decade. The opening howls of 'Walk Away' make Giannascoli appear almost casual, though the rest of the track goes on to immaculately juggle detailed synths, squealing electric guitars, delicate banjo leads, background chants and underlying piano. One can only marvel at the instrumental layering and phasing as every instrument manages to peek out its respect nose. Whether it's the strings, subtle electronica and chipmunked vocals on 'Gretel', the percussive acoustic guitar and celestial synths on 'Hope' or the featherweight, steady accordion on 'Southern Sky', every instrument adds something invaluable and purposeful. These opening tracks are the clearest descendants of anything off of Giannascoli's previous few records, only with their songwriting and production perfected.
Then House of Sugar takes a left turn. Without failing to sustain its meticulous production, Giannascoli opts for more experimental cuts. 'Taking', 'Project 2' and 'Sugar' are purely instrumental neo-psychedelic romps but, due to the deliberate, calculated shrouding of noise running throughout, they never feel out of step with the rest of the record. Music under the (Sandy) Alex G moniker has always been difficult to categorise, mostly due to its wide variations in style. This middle section of House of Sugar, however, is so multifaceted and inimitable that it's nigh-impossible to single out any primary genres or influences.
Yet, the record's final third couldn't be more different. After the huge, warped, art-rock-ish 'Sugar', Giannascoli settles down to show off his humbler indie folk influences. Giannascoli holds his ground with a style that clearly descends from his earlier material. Tinged again with his distinctive production style, they feel like straightforward, well-written folk tracks, only plumped up with more gentle sonic warping.
As rigid as that overarching structure might seem, the sequencing and transitions between tracks ensure House of Sugar flows seamlessly (the only standout being the final track 'Sugar House (Live), which stylistically could have been lifted off of Springsteen's Nebraska). Giannascoli takes his listener through his back catalogue, marking out each work as part of a trajectory more clearly than on any of his other releases. In that fashion, House of Sugar is not only special because it is the most consistent, detailed, adventurous Alex G record so far, but because it also clarifies what Giannascoli has been working towards all along and positions itself as an opus of one of this decade's most defining indie artists.

Tent OX™ Helps BC Tent and Awning Co. Get to Next Level for a Fraction of the Cost
BC Tent and Awning Co., Inc. started back in 1980 with President and CEO Bob Costa and a single tent, operating out of his father's garage. Since then Costa has grown his Avon, Massachusetts-based business into a premiere event rental company, managing more than a half million square feet of tents.
As the business grew, BC Tent and Awning Co., Inc. faced challenges that threatened further expansion. Two key issues: they needed a better way to move cement blocks from truck to tent and they wanted better mechanization that would allow them to take on more jobs without hiring additional crew.
"We were ready to grow to the next level, but not ready to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in machines, fleet and licenses to get there," explains Costa, "What we needed was a light, compact machine that was versatile and didn't require a special license to operate. Then we heard about the Tent OX."
BC Tent and Awning: Decreasing Burnout While Increasing Productivity
In Spring 2015, BC Tent received its Tent OX System, comprised of an Avant loader and tent and event-specific attachments. Immediately, the company saw major labor benefits. Tent OX was mechanizing the most physically demanding tasks, and the crew was both fresher and more productive. BC Tents was able to reduce their install time by about 25%!
The Tent OX is also a multi-season, multi-use system. BC Tent used it to spread stone, move things out of the way during the recently completed building project and plow snow, which is an added cost-savings by no longer needing to outsource this labor.
"In addition to improving our labor," says owner Bob Costa, "Tent OX has made a difference to nearly every aspect of our day-to-day operations, streamlining everything from how we store and move our inventory to the type of fleet we use."
Growing the Business without Breaking the Bank
BC Tents avoided making a substantially larger investment to solve their business challenges by investing in Tent OX. For instance, they would have had to purchase larger and more cumbersome machines, add a tractor trailer to their fleet for hauling, and hire CDL drivers to operate everything.
"Our biggest problem now is that we're going to need more Tent OX Systems," says Costa. "The guys have a hard time deciding who will get to take the Tent OX System for the day!"

THE RUINS OF SAVAMALA - A CARNIVAL STAGE: The Role of Culture in Gentrification
24th May, Actopolis apartment
A public presentation and a discussion about the KURS Collective's new issue of Wall Newspaper took place. The issue titled 'A Carnival Amidst Ruins' features a comprehensive insight into developments in Belgrade's Savamala district over the course of the past 5-10 years by Iskra Krstić, architect and member of the Ministarstvo prostora initiative. It addresses gentrification processes in the area, and puts forward that cultural production and the rise of creative industries have (un)willingly played a significant role in it.
In order to promote the issue and raise awareness of the implicating role of cultural workers, KURS invited the text author Iskra Krstić, activist and artist Danilo Prnjat, as well as artist and former participant of the Urban Incubator project in Savamala, Selman Trtovac, to talk about their views and involvement in the matter.
The discussion mostly focused around the claim that initiatives such as Urban Incubator, backed-up by international foundations served the aim of privatization of culture and induced entrepreneurial ideology with no market to practice it on. Selman Trtovac maintained that in this particular project, precisely the opposite was the case, stating the Urban Incubator rather appeared as an isolated platform for experimenting alternative Utopian models.
The dialogue eventually came to conclusion, and the overall feeling was that Savamala remains a center stage for privatization policy implementation – the full effect of which will yet need to be revealed.
>>The entire 'A Carnival Amidst Ruins' issue is available here.
>>An interview with KURS is available on this website.

The first night of the Champions League Quarter-Final second leg ties has ended with Barcelona and Ajax marching into the Semi-Finals as Manchester United and Juventus tumble out of the competition.
It was a night when the whole world expected Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to hog the headlines.
One of them did.
Messi has two, possibly, three more games to close the 16-goal gap at the top of the Champions League All-Time Top Scorers order of merit, and Ronaldo can only sit on his Polar Bear fur rug and watch.
Barcelona is through to the Semi-Final.
Juventus is not.
We begin our round-up with Ajax's incredible victory in the Old Lady's backyard.
The young Dutch stars, who eliminated the Champions Real Madrid in the previous round, came into the tie knowing they needed to score after drawing 1-1 in the home leg.
Ronaldo was the man who grabbed that away goal; his 125th, and his 126th came in the 28th minute when he wriggled free from his marker to score unmarked from a corner in typical bull-like fashion.
If Ajax were to make the semi-finals for the first time since 1997, they were going to have to score twice, and score twice they did.
Ten minutes before half time, Hakim Ziyech let loose with a long-range snowflake of an effort. Fortunately, before it melted, it dropped into the path of Donny van de Beek who slotted the ball home with all the calm and assurance of a man who had been doing so for as long as Ronaldo.
The teams went into the half-time break on an even keel. There was no time to go to church. The escape pods were inoperable. Ajax knew they needed a goal, and they didn't waste time going for the jugular.
Seven-minutes into the second half and Ziyech produced a top-notch save from Wojciech Szczęsny, and six minutes later the Pole was at it again, brilliantly tipping over a long ranger curler from the outstanding van de Beek.
Five more minutes passed, before Dusan Tadic found space in the box, looked up, threaded the ball through to Ziyech only for Miralem Pjanić to arrive on cue with a goal-saving interception.
Undeterred, Ajax flowed forward once more and won a corner, from which their teenage captain Matthijs de Ligt crashed into two Juventus defenders to thud home the winner.
De Ligt's header left Juventus needing to bag a brace to save their blushes. Ajax counter-attacked to perfection. David Neres missed from six yards before Ziyech saw a goal turned into debris for an offside in the build-up.
Juventus could have had a penalty with time ticking away after the ball struck the arm of Daley Blind, but the referee had none of it after consulting with his VAR team.
"We will have to be careful with our beers," Blind told reporters after his win before adding that he didn't care who Ajax faced in the semi-finals.
Ajax is now a 13/2 shot to go all the way but will have to beat either Spurs or Man City to do so.
Barcelona 3 v 0 Man Utd
Ajax could potentially meet Barcelona in the final after Ernesto Valverde's men triumphed in a 3-0 stroll in the park against Manchester United at the Nou Camp.
United started brightly, with Marcus Rashford striking the crossbar within a minute, but two defensive howlers ended the tie before the little hand had hit the 25-minute mark.
During the first leg at Old Trafford, stats from Opta showed that Ashley Young gave the ball away 30-times (every three minutes). When he did venture across the halfway line, none of his 11 attempted crosses ended up finding the head, foot or balls of a single United player.
Fast forward a week.
With 16-minutes on the clock, and United on the ascendency, Young lost the ball to Lionel Messi (like handing a fleshy femur to a lion), in a dangerous area, and the Argentine star nutmegged Fred before placing the ball into the far corner.
Then came howler #2.
Four-minutes after mesmerising the United defence, Messi picked the ball up outside of the area and unleashed a tame effort, only for the United players and bench to watch in horror as the ball squirmed beneath the usual rock solid frame of David De Gea to leave United needing to score three.
They never came close to scoring one.
Philippe Coutinho put the result beyond all doubt with a cracker on 61-minutes.

Rodent droppings trigger alert at Pittsburgh Family Dollar store
The Allegheny County Health Department has issued a consumer alert for a mouse infestation at the Family Dollar on Chartiers Avenue in Pittsburgh's Crafton Heights neighborhood.
An inspector on Wednesday found "too many rodent droppings to count" throughout the store, "under every shelf checked." Droppings also were found on top shelves along the store's rear wall, and urine stains were found on some shelves.
Rat and mouse droppings were found along a side wall, including an enclosed area for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, which the inspector noted as "a potential source of entry into the building."
Gnawed packages and gnawed food were found in aisles containing pet food, chips, bread and candy and in an area where food was displayed near the registers.
The inspector discarded a loaf of bread with a hole eaten up to 4 inches deep into the center.
The store staff was directed to take corrective action, including cleaning rodent droppings, checking food products daily, removing all damaged or contaminated food, removing kick plates under shelves and taking proactive measures to eliminate rodents beyond use of a pest control company.
The store's pest control provider had made its most recent monthly visit on Feb. 11, with no emergency action taken, according to the county inspection report.
A Family Dollar spokesman didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Iranian bloggers could teach some major international brands a thing or two. The current uprising of emotion and anger within Iran is getting the inevitable clampdown from the authorities. But they are up against technologically adept youngsters who are able to publish their views online.
For three days now, blogs, Twitter and other social networks have enabled the protesters to get their views known and probably to help organise themselves. Even though the authorities are battling to shut down various online services, the messages and pictures still keep popping up.
No doubt the hundreds of thousands of people who read the various bloggers from Iran like what they read; otherwise they wouldn't venture onto the streets so much. But many of them may not be reading the online material because they can't access it; instead they will be getting their messages using good, old-fashioned "word of mouth". When people are angry about something or emotionally attached to a cause, word of mouth becomes immensely powerful.
It's something that many big brands rely on too; they love the fact that we talk about their latest products or the most recent changes to their in-store service. But word of mouth only works if we trust the messenger. If there is any doubt as to the motives of the person telling us something, we reduce our level of trust. That's one of the reasons behind the judgement yesterday in the High Court which concluded that bloggers have no right to anonymity. Anonymous blogs are bound to be less trusted than those from people we know.
But when we read a blog from someone we know and whose views we respect our trustworthiness rating increases substantially. And that's bad new for brands. The reason is that many big businesses don't use blogs or word of mouth in a way that increases trust. A blog from "the company" is likely to be viewed as biased and less trusted than something more independent.
It should come as no surprise then that a new study from Duke University shows that people prioritise word of mouth information about product quality and level of service way above the brand itself. In terms of what people want to know about things they may buy, service is the number one issue, followed by customer relationships. After that the quality of the products themselves is deemed to be important, with the brand itself being the least important factor.
Online, many businesses are busy beavering away protecting their brand and its image. Instead, concentrating on getting bloggers to write about quality, service and relationships is much more likely to stimulate word of mouth. In spite of what many brand managers will tell you, this study confirms that people are not emotionally attached to brands, but are attached to what the brands do for them in terms of making them feel they are looked after and cared for.
If a company wants to stimulate word of mouth, then blogs, social networks, Tweets and so on should focus on things like quality and service. Stories of how well customers liked the service – rather than the product is much more likely to produce word of mouth promotion. And if such comments are in blogs that people trust and respect, because they are from named individuals, then the impact is even greater.
If you want to promote your business products, get bloggers to write about service and quality, rather than what you are trying to sell. The result will be an increased chance of word of mouth taking place – and who knows – you too may have hundreds of thousands of people on the street shouting their support for you.

After eight years and 73 episodes full of blood and fire, HBO's Game of Thrones (GoT) saga has finally ended.
Game of Thrones' season 8 finale came out overnight, and whatever the ratings, it will go down in history as a global pop culture phenomenon, joining the likes of Harry Potter and Star Wars.
The internet these days is full of viewers and critics digesting content and relaying their impression, but it would probably be appropriate to let each decide whether it lived up to their expectations.
But social media has been flooded with reactions, both exultant and disgruntled. So here comes a Grand Meme Review.
MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT: if you haven't seen the finale yet, beware that potentially unwanted information follows below.
Season 8 has been lambasted on social media for its perceived rushed writing and unrealistic character development. The finale was the moment all the hate towards the showrunners finally came out.

It appears that Jon Snow's fate is intertwined with the North. The Ned Stark bastard-turned-Tagaryen heir was sent to the Night's Watch as punishment for slaying his aunt Daenerys, first of her name.

The final episode came amid the audience's growing frustration with the show. Many have claimed that the quality of Game of Thrones has dramatically deteriorated after the writers' source material has dried up, and that season 8 particularly lacked coherence.
Perhaps the ultimate sign of discontent was a viral online petition, which calls Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss "woefully incompetent writers" and urges HBO to disavow the last season and remake one that "makes sense".
The petition has garnered close to 1.2 million signatures as of the time of writing, but HBO has not commented on it so far and is seemingly unlikely to take steps to appease the critics.

Anchor-boom or anchor handling boom
A boom used to place and reposition the anchors.
Backhoe dredger
A backhoe dredger consists of a hydraulic crane with a heavy bucket that is mounted on a pontoon or a self-elevating platform. A backhoe dredger is mainly used to dredge hard materials like rock, boulders, underwater dams, removal of old revetments etc.
Barges are ancillary equipment, used for the transport of soil. There are all kinds of possibilities to use barges. One of the most common is, that a dredging installation dredges the soil and disposes it in the barge. As soon as the barge is loaded, it sails with its own propulsion installation or with the help of a tug boat, to the dumping place. Barges discharge by means of bottom doors, they can also be split barges and there are also barges with no means of discharging at all. These will be unloaded with the help of for instance a barge unloading dredger.
Booster station
The dredged material can be transported over long distances via pipelines. However, the pressure in pipelines gradually, due to friction and bends in the pipeline. This limits the distance over which the soil can be transported. A booster station can be added to the installation to extend the transport distance. A booster station is basically a combined engine and pump room, which can be installed in a pontoon or ashore to boost the pressure.
Bow coupling
Part of a TSHD to which a floating discharge hose can be connected. As the name says the bow coupling installation is located at the bow of the dredger and is used to discharge the soil via shore pumping/pipelines.
Bow thrusters
Bow thrusters are propulsion devices that are installed in the bow of a vessel to increase maneuverability. They are ideal for navigation in confined spaces, such as port basins or narrow channels, and they are also used to keep the dredger in place during rain bowing or discharge by pipeline.
These are natural (quarry stone) or artificial (concrete blocks) elements that make up part of the layers for mound dikes and for other marine (foundation haunches for example) or hydraulic (dam layers) works, orderly or randomly positioned as a protection against the erosion caused by the swell. Concrete blocks come in a large variety of shapes that are selected according to their different properties for each job: dolos, cubes, tetrapods, quadripods, tribars, etc.
A hollow structure that forms part of the marine works' section, (dikes, quays, etc.) after being transported and delivered to the site on the ground or in the sea, subsequently being filled with selected material.
Capital dredging
Dredging activities focused on creating new harbors, berths or waterways, or to deepen or widen existing facilities.
Centrifugal dredge pumps
Centrifugal dredge pumps lie at the heart of every dredging challenge. The pumps provide the suction power to transport the soil mixture from the bottom of the dredge site to a hold or the discharge site through pipeline. Their power, capacity, resistance to wear and malfunction, and general robust and reliable character are essential features. Dredge pumps come in a variety of sizes, designs and materials and can be installed onboard, inboard, submerged and in booster stations.
Charter contract
A charter contract means that the customer hires the equipment and personnel of the contractor and informs the contractor where to dredge. The contractor is hired at a basic rate per day or per hour.
Christmas tree installation
In conditions with waves or swell, positioning a dredger by means of spuds is not advisable. In that case, a central anchor system, also known as a Christmas tree installation can be used.
Coastal protection
Coastal protection is an essential process to provide a defence against flooding and the erosion of land caused by waves, tides, currents and wind. Beach re-nourishment and dike construction are some examples of coastal protection works. Both require the recovery and transportation of large volumes of sand.
Critical velocity
The critical velocity is the velocity below which the grains in the mixture start falling out of suspension and start forming a layer at the bottom of the pipeline.
Cutter suction dredger
The cutter suction dredger (CSD) is a type of dredger that uses a rotating cutting tool to dislodge the soil in order for it to be drawn into a suction pipe. A CSD typically consists of a non-self-propelled pontoon with in a pivoting ladder that houses the cutter and suction pipe. The types of soil it can handle are sand, gravel, clay, sandstone and soft rocks. Cutter suction dredgers are widely used for land reclamation projects, the construction of dams, dikes and breakwaters, the excavation of new harbour basins and canals, the improvements of the course of a river, etc.
A cutterhead is a piece of dredging equipment used on cutter suction dredgers. The cutterhead dislodges the soil through a rotating motion, so that the slurry can be drawn into the suction pipe. Since the dredging process starts with excavation and slurry creation, a CSD's performance is mainly defined by its cutterhead. Different soil types demand different forms of penetration. Therefore, there is a wide variety in cutterheads available.
Design/construct contract
With a design/construct contract the customer will supply a concept with the main requirements of the project. Contractors have to include a detailed project design in the tender offers or pre-qualification documents.
A trailing suction hopper dredger can empty its hopper in various ways. Depending on the project specifications, the discharge takes place by opening the hopper doors, pumping the material to shore or by ejecting it using a rainbow installation.
For a cutter suction dredger transport of dredged materials goes through pipelines. With several pumps placed in series the dredged materials can be transported by pipelines over long distances.
At the entrance of each suction arm of a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), a draghead is connected. This draghead collects the soil just like the mouth of the vacuum cleaner at home. As the first point of contact with the soil a draghead is of vital importance to the entire dredging process and it comes in many forms. Dragheads can be fitted with tools such as water jets, blades and rippers.
Dragline excavator
This is a barge used for the transport and dumping of dredging or filling debris. It is made up of some central open-air containers on a floatable perimeter which are limited by sluices incorporated in the hull and operated by chains and winches, so that when these are opened they unload the material letting it fall. Depending on the size of the boat it will have one or various individually operated compartments. The dragline excavators are towed or autonomous and they can also be used for transporting rock material. They are loaded at the sides of the dredges or from quays when dealing with fillings.
Dredging can be defined as the underwater removal of soil and its transport from one place to another for purposes of deepening or making profitable use of the removed soil.
Dredging control systems
Dredging control systems enable efficient monitoring and control of vital dredge process equipment either manually, automatically or through the use of artificial intelligence.
Dredging wheel
A dredging wheel is a special type of equipment used on cutter suction dredgers or specialized wheel dredgers to excavate soil. The wheel consists of a crown of bucket shaped blades, rotating in the direction of the ladder. Dredging wheels can be used for different soil types, from peat and clay to sand and so rock. Due to its operational features like high concentration dredging and high selectivity, a dredging wheel is often used in mining applications.
Environmental dredging
Environmental dredging targets polluted materials in sections of ports and rivers, often within industrial areas. These remediation projects require accurate dredging, low generation of turbidity and low spillage in order to remove contamination without harming the surrounding environment.
Frame contract
A frame contract is often used in large dredging projects. The contract describes the overall scope of the work and a global timing. The customer and the contractor (or a consortium of contractors) will then negotiate a detailed share contract for the different parts of the project.
The structure that holds the suspension gear of the ladder.
Grab dredger
Small dredging operations and parts of large projects are executed with grabs or clamshells. The grabs can be mounted on stationary pontoons, either with anchors or spuds, or on self-propelled vessels. Especially near constructions in ports and rivers the grab can be operated accurately and safely.
Grain size distribution
Each soil consists of grains of different sizes. The size of the smallest grain and of the largest grain may vary widely from the average size. That is why the distribution of the grain sizes of the soil must be known. To determine this, the soil is sieved. The result of this operation is represented as a grain size distribution diagram.
This is a structure constructed for coastal protection whose purpose is to collect the coastal deposition or delay erosion. When various groynes are necessary to act together this is known as a groyne field.
Head of a dredge pump
The head is a characteristic that is used to define a dredge pump's capacity. This is the height of the liquid column that a pump could create, and is measured in metres.
The hold of a dredging vessel in which the dredged soil is stored for transport. The spoil can either be discharged at a dumping site by opening doors or valves in the hopper bottom, or delivered to a shore pipeline with the aid of the vessel's pumps.
Hydraulic dredging
Hydraulic dredging is dredging by sucking up the soil, much like a vacuum cleaner at home.
This is a fixed or floating structure, normally an open construction or on posts, that penetrates the water from the water's edge serving as a berthing quay or as a landing stage.
The ladder of a cutter suction dredger is the arm that houses the suction pipe. The cutterhead is also connected to the ladder, near the entrance of the suction pipe. The ladder can be accurately lowered or hoisted with a gantry and winches. One or two centrifugal dredge pumps are installed in the pump room and some dredgers also have a submerged pump on the ladder for additional pumping power.
Lakes and reservoirs dredging
With an increasing demand for clean energy and drinking water, the construction and maintenance of water reservoirs and lakes used for hydropower is on the rise . Dredging also tackles the growing problems of aquatic weed infestation and excessive sedimentation in existing water reservoirs, improving the availability of clean drinking water and the reliability of the power supply.
Land reclamation
The process of creating new land in the ocean, riverbeds or lakes. The dredging process uses sand, clay or rock from the seabed to create new land elsewhere.
Lump sum contract
A lump sum contract is also known as a fixed price contract. Customers and contractors agree that the project will be carried out at a fixed total price.
Maintenance dredging
Dredging work aimed at maintaining a navigable depth in waterways and access channels that are threatened by siltation. Maintenance dredging is also necessary in water reservoirs and hydropower lakes where sedimentation occurs.
Management contract
Some customers, such as public companies and other governmental organisations, own dredging equipment, but lack the knowledge or do not have the right staff to carry out a dredging project efficiently. In that case, the customer can hire a contractor to operate and maintain the dredging equipment.
Marine aggregates dredging
Marine aggregates, such as sand and gravel, play a crucial role in modern day life. These natural resources are widely used in the construction industry and, with the global population rising, the demand for construction aggregates is also increasing. Dredgers are deployed to collect and transport the sand and gravel from offshore extraction areas.
MARPOL convention
In most countries, the contractors have to operate under the conditions of the international 'MARPOL convention'. This means that all the waste from the dredger has to be collected and transported to a designated deposit. Bilge water must be treated with separators before pumping overboard.
General basis of the classification of soils as composed by the PIANC (Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses) based on particle size. The main soil types are: boulders/cobbles, gravels, sands, silts, clays and peats and organic soils.
Mechanical dredging
Mechanical dredges dredge by means of excavation. Typical mechanical dredgers are: the bucket dredger, the backhoe dredger and the grab dredger. The cutter suction dredger uses a combination of both hydraulic and mechanical dredging techniques.
Dredgers are used for wet excavation in the mining industry. Dredgers excavate the natural resources from a river, near shore or from man-made ponds and pump them directly into mining separation plants for processing.
Mound dike
There are two basic types of dikes, which are mainly shielding structures (although they can also act as coastline barriers and/or coastal protection): ones with a vertical face and ones with a sloping face (mixed types exist, that work in one way or another depending on the sea level). The first ones, mound dikes or breakwaters, normally consist in a one-piece stone element protected by one or more blocks, or special pieces of concrete breakwater layers of a larger size on which the waves break, and can have a screen wall on their crown.
Offshore trenching
Offshore power cables, pipelines and umbilicals are buried in the seabed to keep them in place and protect them against heavy objects. Dredgers are used to create a trench in which the cable or pipeline is then buried.
Open tender
A procurement strategy in which all contractors can bid on a dredging project.
A mechanism found in hopper dredgers that releases the surplus of water in the hold or hopper. While loading, sand mixed with water is pumped into the hopper. At a certain moment the maximum load of the hopper is reached which consist of sand and water. To load more sand the excessive water must be flushed overboard. This is possible by using the overflow.
Port construction
Dredging activities for port construction and expansion include the creation of access channels, berthing places and turning basins, reclaiming land for yard and terminal activities, and the deepening and widening of existing waterways.
The process of selecting a contractor for a certain dredging project.
This is a structure constructed at the side of a port, river or canal where boats (crafts) can berth and operate from. It can also be a floating structure.
Rainbowing is a discharge method used by trailing suction hopper dredgers in shallow locations or ashore, in for instance land reclamation and beach nourishment projects. The sand from the hopper well is ejected out of the rainbow installation at the bow of the vessel in the shape of an arc.
Rock breaker
On some dredging projects, hard rock needs to be removed before dredging operations can begin. Even the strongest cutter suction dredgers will fail in solid, hard rock. The removal of rock then has to start with pre-fracturing. This can be done with the aid of explosives or mechanical rock breakers. A rock breaker generally consists of a pontoon with a central well. Mounted lengthways on the pontoon is a gantry carrying two travelling "cranes", from each of which a large pneumatic hammer with a special rock chisel is suspended. The hammers are lowered to break up areas of rock.
Self-propelled dredger
A type of dredger that is equipped with propulsion devices to allow independent movement.
Shortlist tender
A procurement strategy in which only pre-selected contractors are invited to bid on a project.
Slurry transport
To transport the dredged materials such as sand or clay through a pressurised pipeline, it has to be mixed with water. This mixture of solids and water is known as slurry. Transport of the dredged material via a pipeline is therefore referred to as slurry transport.
Spill or spillage is the quantity of material that is cut loose by a dredger, but doesn't end up at the discharge site. In all earth moving equipment a certain loss or spill occurs.
Split hopper or split hull vessel
Split hopper dredgers of barges are divided over their entire length and spoil discharge is achieved by swinging the two halves apart.
Spud carriage
When a dredger is equipped with a spud carriage system the working spud is placed in a carriage which, with the aid of a hydraulic cylinder, can travel over several metres in longitudinal direction of the pontoon. That way, the dredger can move forward, without having to reposition the spuds. A number of cuts can be executed without using the walking spud, making the dredging process more efficient.
Spud pole
A spud pole is a pole that is driven into the seabed or riverbed in order for a dredger to remain stationary during dredging operations.
Spud system
A spud system is used to position a stationary dredger. A spud system can be found on a cutter suction dredger or any other pontoon-like dredger. On CSD's a spud system consists of two heavy spud poles, the so-called working spud and the auxiliary or walking spud. One of the spud poles is always lowered into the soil in order to keep the dredger in position. With two side anchors, connected on either side of the ladder, the dredger can swing an arc around the working spud pole, excavating almost any type of soil in a very accurate way. Lowering the second spud -the walking spud- during a short period enables the operator to reposition the dredger, making a walk-like motion.
Standardized components
In the course of years, dredging components have been developed and dredgers designed capable of producing the best possible results in the widely differing circumstances in which they were required to operate. Many dredging components have been standardized, and today a custom-built dredger can often be built up from or incorporate standard parts, with a consequent reduction of building costs and delivery period.
Stationary or non-self-propelled dredger
A dredger without propelling devices.
Submerged dredge pump
In addition to the dredge pumps in the pump room, some cutter suction dredgers have an additional submerged pump installed on the ladder. This submerged pump provides the dredger with additional pumping power.
Swell compensators
Swell compensators compensate the movement of a vessel caused by swell and therefore enables trailing suction hopper dredgers to dredge in heavy weather and swell. The compensation mechanism is integrated in the draghead gantry and ensures a flexible connection between ship and suction tube, in such a way that the draghead remains uninfluenced by the vertical movements of the dredger. The pressure of the draghead on the bottom of the river or the sea bed remains practically the same while the ship is rolling in a swell, and the stresses in the wire ropes by which the suction tube is suspended vary only within narrow limits.
Tender with pre-qualifications
When this procurement strategy is used, the tender process starts with a pre-qualification phase, in which contractors have to prove that they are qualified to execute the dredging project. This ensures that unqualified contractors are filtered from the tender process.
Trailer suction hopper dredger
A trailer suction hopper dredger (TSHD) unites dredging, transport and discharge in one single piece of equipment. A TSHD is a self-propelled vessel with a conventional hull shape and a so-called 'hopper' or hold. It is equipped with one or two suction pipes with drag heads that are lowered onto the seabed from the sides of the vessel. The dragheads trail over the seabed and suck up the soil for it to be stored in the hopper or hold of the vessel. Once the hopper is full, the vessel sails to the discharge site where the dredged material is released either by opening the hopper doors or by using a pumping system. Trailing suction hopper dredgers can easily handle sand and silt and are widely used for dredging works in ports and nautical channels, offshore works and other dredging projects where transport distances are long.
Underwater pipelines
Infrastructures or treatment activities can demand the discharge of the un-treated or partially purified water at considerable distances from the coastline (or at the coastline in cases of large freshwater bodies) by means of pipes called underwater pipelines. These installations on the sea bed can either be freely supported or embedded in an excavated or dredged trench which is then filled, protecting it against possible scouring, and in both cases with anchoring elements. The outlet can be equipped with volute chambers to help with the discharge dilution within the environment.
Unit rate contract
In a unit rate contract the contractor is paid for the dredged volumes at a fixed price per unit.
Velocity is the speed of the slurry in a certain direction.
Vertical dike
There are two basic types of dikes, which are mainly shielding structures (although they can also act as coastline barriers and/or coastal protection): ones with a vertical face and ones with a sloping face (mixed types exist, that work in one way or another depending on the sea level). The first ones or reflective dikes are normally made up of a wall built with concrete blocks or caissons with its foundations on a breakwater haunch and they are designed to a certain depth so that the waves cannot break over them but are reflected by them. In some cases they can be directly used as quays.
Work boat
Dredgers without any means of propulsion rely on work boats, push boats or tugs to position them in the dredging area. Work boats are also used for support operations, such as hoisting the cutterhead and pump parts, anchor handling, handling of floating pipelines and the transportation of people, fuel and goods. They are usually equipped with a hydraulic crane and anchor handling winches.

A federal proposal to ease fuel efficiency standards could be a benefit to automakers, but it's unlikely to impact their strategies in the short term and could cause uncertainty for local suppliers.
The Trump administration earlier this month released a proposal that would freeze fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks at 2020 levels for at least five years. It would roll back tougher standards set up during the Obama administration and potentially set the stage for a lengthy legal fight with California, which has the legal ability to set its own tailpipe emissions requirements.

The current standards would require automakers to raise the average fuel economy of cars and light-duty trucks in the U.S. to a projected 50.8 miles per gallon by 2025.
But several auto industry experts told the News-Sun they expect most automakers and their suppliers to push forward with investments to improve fuel efficiency despite the proposed rollback. In part, that's because auto manufacturers want to ensure their products meet higher standards set in other countries, including emerging markets like China.
MORE BUSINESS NEWS: Marathon moves ahead with $23 billion merger
"For now, automakers and suppliers will carry on their march toward improving fuel efficiency, especially to compete in China, the largest auto market in the world by a long shot and the largest (electric vehicle) market with more promised," said Michelle Krebbs, an analyst for Autotrader. "Global automakers and suppliers must play in China if they expect any growth in the future."
The administration has argued the change will provide more than $252 billion in regulatory costs to manufacturers through 2029, save up to 1,000 lives annually and make vehicles more affordable for consumers.
Much of the benefit of the proposed change will come from the expected reduction in the cost of new vehicles the administration expects to occur, said Kenny Stein, director of policy for the Institute for Energy Research, a conservative think tank.
He argued the current fuel standards rules make it more expensive for consumers to buy a new car. Lowering the current standards will save money for manufacturers and make newer cars more affordable for consumers, he argued. That hope is that will translate into more new cars on the road with better safety features.
Stein said customers should be able to choose to pay more for more fuel efficient models if they choose, but should also have the option of picking a more inexpensive, less efficient vehicle.
DETAILS: Ohio manufacturer to expand, add more than 20 new jobs in Urbana
But environmental and consumer advocacy groups including Public Citizen, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., have argued weakening the requirements will only mean more polluted air and higher gas prices for consumers.
"Americans understand and demand the twin benefits of lower gasoline bills and reduced carbon pollution," said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen in a news release. "The only good news is that the administration's course will fail – in the courts, in the political realm and the marketplace."
Impact on Honda
The proposed change will face a 60-day public comment period before any action can be taken. Locally, officials at Honda said the company supports some revisions to provide more flexibility, but does not think the current standards should be fully rolled back.
RELATED: Clark County manufacturing firms see early impacts of trade war
The company is one of the region's largest employers. About 1,400 workers from Clark and Champaign counties work for the automaker, and it employs more than 15,000 Ohioans overall. Several area companies, including KTH Parts Industries in St. Paris and Parker Trutec in Springfield and Urbana supply parts for Honda.
"Honda strongly supports an aligned framework of federal and California standards governing fuel economy and vehicle greenhouse gas emissions, known as "One National Program," said Chris Abbruzzese, a spokesman for the company. "We believe it is important that any revisions to the program yield steady annual increases in stringency, while providing policy support for the development of next-generation technologies. Notwithstanding regulatory requirements, Honda has a history of – and remains committed to – developing products that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance fuel efficiency."
One National Program was developed under the Obama administration as an agreement between the federal government, states and the auto industry. The idea, Krebs said, was to move closer to California's tougher standards to provide a mostly single standard for the auto industry.
READ MORE: Home sales down in region due to lack of inventory
The Trump administration is trying for a single standard but a lower federal one while also attempting to remove California's exemption, Krebs said. That will likely set the stage for a lengthy legal fight with the state that could last for years.
In the meantime, Honda and most other automakers will likely continue to invest and develop products under the current rules
"Frankly, the plan to freeze fuel efficiency standards likely will have no significant impact on the auto industry immediately," Krebbs said. "Automakers will continue toward ever-increasing fuel efficiency because that is what consumers expect and many governments require."
Uncertainty for suppliers?
It's also too early to say how, or if the proposed changes will affect manufacturers that supply parts to the auto industry, said Devin Lindsay, an auto industry analyst with IHS Markit. The latest available information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows companies that manufacture parts for the industry employed more than 75,000 workers at the beginning of this year.
In Clark and Champaign counties, companies like Topre and KTH Parts Industries Inc. specialize in manufacturing lightweight, high-strength steel parts as Honda and other auto manufacturers increasingly focus on improving the fuel efficiency of their vehicles without sacrificing durability. Officials from those companies did not return a call seeking comment for this story.
Several other companies in the region also manufacture a wide range of parts for the auto industry. One of the biggest challenges is the fight over fuel standards could cause uncertainty both for automakers makers and their suppliers, Lindsay said.
Automakers often make plans five to seven years in advance, and often longer. Frequent changes in national policy can make it a nightmare to plan both for automakers and their suppliers, Lindsay said. That's one reason he said most auto companies are likely to push ahead with their plans under the current standards.
"Really, manufacturers are probably going to end up staying the course," Lindsay said.
Customers in the U.S. are increasingly opting for light trucks and sport utility vehicles. But manufacturers will likely continue to make investments to develop more efficient electric, hybrid and fuel cells vehicles, he said. If the fuel efficiency targets are flattened, one possibility is it may lead some suppliers to adjust and refine some of their current products and dial back some spending on new technologies.
Even if the U.S. backs off from the previous rule, automakers are more frequently taking into account higher standards in other countries when deciding how to invest in their products.
"The U.S. is no longer an island the way it used to be," Lindsay said.

The Lay of the Land
Its amazing how much Richard Ford can pack into a national holiday. The Lay of the Land is a massive, ruminative, poignant and cathartic novel that unpacks an awful lot of luggage into the few days of Americas Thanksgiving holiday in the fall of 2000. The Clinton-Bush electoral farrago rumbles on in the country at large but 55-year-old Frank Bascombes problems are all intimate. His twenty-something daughter Clarissa is living with him again, which is good; but she moved in to support him after his shocking prostate diagnosis. Worse still, she then ditched her smart girlfriend to experiment with men again, and her "woogling" now disturbs the calm of his sequestered Jersey Shore home.
Bascombe knows the propertys value since his own realty brokerage is flourishing; but he is alarmed to hear from his ex-wife Ann that their difficult, emotionally volatile son Paul, currently writing greetings card captions in Kansas City, might want to join him in business. Both Paul and Clarissa are due to attend Franks family Thanksgiving dinner. In a weak moment, Frank also invites Ann, which would surely not have happened had his current wife, Sally, not returned her wedding ring and followed her former husband to Scotland.
Between these principal characters lies plenty of history, unexpectedly buckled and contorted like stone under pressure. Franks steady examination of the various fault lines defining the bedrock of his life, while he drives around his few appointments of each day, forms the real substance of this excellent and engrossing novel. Old friendships, former lovers, health scares, professional hiccups, misfiring family relationships, the practical ordeal of dinner: Ford expertly draws together the many universally human pre-occupations congesting Franks holiday weekend, letting Bascombes own tenacious, self-analytical temperament work through to responses that look out into the world with optimism and dignity.
Ford likes the canted pressure that holiday festivities can exert on taut emotional wires, and he has put Frank Bascombe through the mill of two previous family celebrations which both end in catastrophe. Bascombe first appeared 20 years ago in The Sportswriter as a young man who had penned a lucrative collection of stories before turning to sports writing. During one Easter weekend, an unsatisfactory journalistic assignment is capped by a disastrous Easter lunch with his prospective in-laws and a newly hostile girlfriend.
Nine years later, Independence Day clinched the Pulitzer Prize for Franks intense Fourth of July road trip with Paul, his wayward teenage son, which took in the basketball and baseball halls of fame as well as a less-planned rural emergency room. Frank had already lost "the sweet pain to know whatevers next - a must for any real writer" and had slipped into the passive urbanity of selling real estate. Gradually, the dynamic, youthful hankering for progression has also been superseded by what he calls his Existence Period: "he high wire act of normalcy" patented to ward off crisis feelings of mid-life entropy.
Another decade on, The Lay of the Land exudes a confidence in Franks own affairs that is sustained by Fords sweeping, inclusive prose. Each novel freshly addresses the varying maturities of Franks yearning for love, his need for self-acceptance and a positive reconciliation with the shrapnel of marriage, but this third outing finds Frank sifting the unhubristic detail of his middle age with the closer scrutiny of accrued wisdom. He is still a staunch Democrat, forthright, surprisingly buoyant and undiminished, but priorities are beginning to settle in favour of tackling emergent difficulties head-on, instead of coasting easily around them.
"For your life to be worth anything," Frank suggested in The Sportswriter, while coping with recent divorce and the death of his first-born, "you must sooner or later face the possibility of terrible, searing regret." 1,300 pages and nearly two decades later, Frank still admits to the tempering qualities of survived crisis: m actually ready to believe that what any marriage might need is a good whacking abandonment or betrayal to test its tensile strength." Ford gives that tensile strength a very good kicking in his marvellously unexpected climax. On its own, The Lay of the Land is an exhilarating audit of Bascombes emotional stock-room, but taken with its two predecessors, it is a masterly account of a modulating adult life. Fords canvas is huge, but his wealth of subtle detail remains astonishingly vivid. By arrangement with The Independent

The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me� The
take the wine cup of this fury at my hand; in a vision the Lord
appeared to Jeremiah with a cup of wine in his hand, which he bid him
take of him. It is usual in Scripture for the judgments of God on men
to be signified by a cup of hot and intoxicating liquor, (Isaiah 51:17,22)
(Jeremiah 49:12) ; particularly in (Psalms 75:8) ; to which reference may be
had; as John seems to refer to the passage here in (Revelation 14:10) (16:19) ;
called a cup, because they are in measure, and but small in comparison
of what will be inflicted in the world to come; and a cup of "fury",
because they proceed from the wrath of God, stirred up by the sins of
men. Jarchi interprets this cup of the prophecy of vengeance, which
the Lord delivered to Jeremiah; and not amiss:
and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it; prophesy
unto them what wrath and ruin shall come upon them.

Adelaide's finest casual dining restaurant Bistro Blackwood is set to bring the perfect combination of delicious food and exquisite wine to the city's diners at an upcoming Winemaker Waiter event. Bistro Blackwood hosts these events on a monthly basis and on Thursday, February 7 at 6 p.m. it's the turn of winemaking company Ministry of Clouds to showcase their wines.
Sharing the philosophy that good food and wine go hand in hand, Bistro Blackwood is excited to continue this series of events which has proved extremely popular with customers to date.
Guests will be in for a treat as Julian and Bernice, the legendary duo behind Ministry of Clouds in McLaren Vale will be talking all things wine-related and showcasing a selection of their most popular products including Ministry of Clouds Riesling 2018, Ministry of Clouds Chardonnay 2017, Ministry of Clouds Grenache 2017 and Ministry of Clouds Shiraz 2017.
The wine will be poured and discussed by the industry experts providing diners with all the insider information as to how they are produced, what foods they pair best with and what makes them so special.
Julian and Bernice's passion shines through as they speak about their products. Guests can expect to be well-entertained as they enjoy the specially designed Bistro Blackwood menu while hearing about the vineyards, geology and history of McLaren Vale and of course tasting each wine.
Julian and Bernice work closely with families and farmers behind these unique vineyard sites while also tending their own 11ha vineyard in Seaview 'The Chase', which sits on top of the Onkaparinga Gorge, bordering Blewitt Springs.
A deliberately delicate expression of Clare Valley Riesling, exhibiting lifted floral notes, kaffir lime, freshly squeezed lemon juice, grapefruit peel, bath salts, and underlying talc. Classic citrus notes are complimented by the mouth-watering chalky and mineral texture on the palate, finishing with a fine and taut acid line.
A pure and tightly wound wine showing the muscle and intensity of the low yielding Derwent Valley site, and the fineness and acid line synonymous with the Coal River Valley. A shy and somewhat restraint nose exuding white flowers, peach, nectarine characters, and subtle hints of nougat and wood spice. On the palate, a bedrock of chalky minerality supports a core of intense stone fruit, framing its lingering acidity.
Entwined within a complex deep core of red and purple fruit aromas, violets, earth and herb tinged; the palate is pure with old-vine flesh, calming depth and purity, but kept necessarily fresh by grainy tannins and a bright line of natural acid.
Layers of cool blue and red fruit lift with layers of allspice and cardamom to entice, supported by a gentle creaminess, which progresses to the palate exhibiting a deep fruit weight kept bright, nervy, and fleshy and filed down nicely by fine and savoury tannin line.

Merits of Online High Schools
There are many advantages of online high schools to teenagers and adults. There are varieties of online high schools.

I gave the kids a bath tonight. Last night when we had a bath it was a little boring because the few tub toys we had out have wondered to other places besides the bathroom...somehow one water whistle, one small squirty toy, and a cup just don't cut it with three children.
So I made a point of going to the workroom and finding the tub toys in the boxes. We have a lot of squirty toys but we also have lots of foam things that stick to the wall when wet. Some of them are from the movie Cars, but most of the foam things are letters and numbers.
We had a mini science experiment in that the boys figured out that the plastic squirt toys DO NOT stick to the wall.
During part of the time the kids were playing I put up Doug's name and then Andy's name on the wall using the foam letters. Once I had Andy's name up he said "I grow Andy, I grow Andy."
He then proceeded to keep adding letters and numbers to the end of his name. For the rest of the bath time Doug and Andy were on a mission to put up all of the letters and numbers.
