Trichocereus schoenii / Echinopsis schoenii
Trichocereus schoenii / Echinopsis schoenii
Trichocereus schoenii is a South Peruvian Trichocereus species that Backeberg described and named after E. Schön, who assisted him financially on his trips. Mr. Schön was from Arequipa, which is where one of the most important habitats of this species is. However, the species is not limited to that area and merges with other species from Central Peru like Trichocereus knuthianus. Trichocereus schoenii usually grows in the company of some Corryocactus species and there are also some other Trichocereus species that grow at the same sites.
Trichocereus schoenii resembles Trichocereus santaensis, but differs from it by the long central spine and a slightly different areole shape and rib shape. You need to look very closely to keep it apart, and it´s usually the typical spination that allows you to recognize it as what it is. It´s a very rare and beautiful species which is very rare in cultivation. The plants that are available are usually mislabeled.
Trichocereus schoenii belongs to Trichocereus cuzcoensis same as T. knuthianus does, but there are many differences and I hope to see some cladistic studies about this species one day. The species usually has seven ribs (as seen in the photos) and the spines can get up to 8 centimeters long. You can read a more detailed description including some habitat photos in my SAN PEDRO book.
I also have some Trichocereus schoenii seeds in my shop sometimes. It´s a beautiful species that´s not common enough and I really hope that nurseries pick it up to propagate in order to allow a conservation of the species. Many plantings of Trichocereus schoenii are destroyed by landscaping and I would hate to see this remarkable Trichocereus species vanish within the next 50 years. I will add more photos of Trichocereus schoenii to this page and if you have some Trichocereus photos from the Arequipa area or South Peru in general, please let me know.

The following FortiAnalyzer devices use this installation guide.
They can be mounted in any standard 19 inch rack unit with the provided mounting hardware.
Rack Precautions
Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on the jacks.
- For single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
- For multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
- Ensure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
- Only extend one component at a time; extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
|After installing the device into the rack, install the hard disk drives into the device.
Rail Rack Parts
The rail assembly consists of three parts:
- Outer rail: connects to the rack
- Middle rail: connects the inner and outer rails
- Inner rail: connects to the device.
The inner rail has a locking tab that locks the device into place when it is installed and pushed into the rack. This prevents the device from sliding fully out of the rack when the device is being worked on.
There are five steps to install the device into the rack:
- Disassemble the rail assembly
- Attach the inner rails to the device
- Install the outer rails on a rack
- Install the device into the rack
- Install the cable management arm
Disassembling the Rail Assembly
- Identify the left and right rail assemblies.
- Pull out the inner rail until it is fully extended.
- Press down the locking tab to release the inner rail.
- Remove the inner rail from the outer rail.
- Repeat steps 2 – 4 for the remaining rail assembly.
|Do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed to only pull the unit from the rack.
Attaching the Inner Rails to the Device
- Ensure that the right and left rails are correctly identified.
- Place the inner rail against the side of the device, enduring that the hooks on the side of the device align with the holes in the rail.
- Slide the rail towards the front of the device until the rail clicks into the locked position.
- Optionally, secure the rail to the device using the provided M4 Flat Head screws.
- Repeat steps 2 – 4 for the remaining rail.
Installing the Outer Rails on a Rack
- Press up on the locking tab on the back of the middle rail.
- Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
- Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail to the slots on the rack. Use two of the provided washers and M5 12L Flat Head screws to secure the rail to the rack.
- Pull out the back of the outer rail to adjust its length until it fits properly in the rack.
- Hang the hooks on the back of the rail to the slots on the back of the rack. Use two of the provided washers and M5 12L Flat Head screws to secure the rail to the rack.
- Repeat steps 1 – 5 for the remaining rail.
Installing the Device into the Rack
- Ensure that the inner rails are properly connected to the device, and the that the outer rails are securely attached to the rack.
- Pull the middle rail out from the front of the outer rail until it locks.
- Align the inner rails with the middle rails and slide the device onto the rails until the locking tab on the inner rails clicks into the front of the middle rails. Ensure that even pressure is applied to both sides of the device while doing this.
- Push down the locking tabs on both sides at the same time, then push the device all the way into the rack.
- When the unit has been completely pushed into the rack, the locking tabs will click into the locked position.
- Install the hard disk drives into the device.
Installing the Cable Management Arm
- Slide the device part way out of the rack to provide space for installing the cable management arm.
- Attach the inner member connector to the back end of the right inner rail (when looking at the front of the device).
- Attach the supporting bar connector to the back end of the right middle rail.
- Attach the supporting bar connector to the back end of the left middle rail.
- Attach the outer member connecter to the back end of the left outer rail.
- Plug the supplied power cables into the power supplies on the back of the device, and connect any other required cables.
- Open the red caps and route the cables through the wire carrier. This is important to ensure that cables are not damaged when sliding the device in and out of the rack.
- Fasten the cables using the provided straps and the aluminum joints and U bracket. Use two straps on each joint and one on each connector.
- Slide the chassis in and out to ensure that the cable management arm's motion is smooth. If it is not, loosen the straps as required.
- If required, adjust the location of the U bracket to ensure that it does not interfere with the power source.
Connecting the Device
- Plug the power cables into grounded electrical outlets or a separate power sources, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or a power distribution units (PDU).
- Insert the Ethernet cable into a router or switch that is connected to the Internet.
- Press the power button on the system to turn on the device.
|Both power supplies are required for normal operation.For additional security, secure the chassis handles to the front of the rack with the provided M5 20L Truss Head screws.

FINRA expelled a former Wells Fargo registered rep from the industry on March 30 for allegedly stealing funds from a bank customer account.
Jorge Jose Gonzalez, a branch manager for Wells Fargo in Hackensack, N.J., directed a subordinate to open a bank account for a purported customer who was not physically present at the time, an act that violated bank policy, FINRA claims. He supposedly instructed the employee to record in the bank's computer system that she had met the customer, when in fact she had neither met the customer nor observed Gonzalez meeting him.
Gonzalez then allegedly provided the employee with a $5,668 check to fund the bank account. The check, which was issued by the IRS, was later connected to a fraudulent tax-return filing.
Once the account was established, Gonzalez allegedly withdrew $5,000 without the customer being present at the time of the withdrawal, again breaking bank policy. He personally withdrew the remaining funds from the account about two weeks later, FINRA said.
The chicanery was uncovered when the check that funded the account was returned to the bank unpaid, resulting in a loss to Well Fargo of $5,668. Gonzalez was able to evade scrutiny initially because he approved the new account in his capacity as branch manager, FINRA said.
Gonzalez could not be reached for comment. In his settlement with FINRA, Gonzalez neither admitted nor denied the charges but consented to an entry of the regulator's findings.
During the bank's investigation, Gonzalez claimed that the customer had been present at the bank at the times of the withdrawals. But no one else recalled seeing the customer and the bank's video surveillance tapes did not corroborate Gonzalez's claim, according to FINRA.
Gonzalez worked for Wells Fargo from May 2009 to July 2014, when he was terminated, according to his BrokerCheck report. He had previously been with Wachovia Bank for four years, which was acquired by Wells in the middle of the financial crisis.
Anthony Mattera, a spokesman for Wells Fargo, declined to comment on the matter.

Evelyn | Week 40 Rocking Chair
Evelyn Rose
277 days new | Topeka, KS
One of Evelyn's Christmas presents was a handmade rocking chair from her great grandpa. For this week I decided to go back to my themed photo shoots of Evelyn and I used that chair for the focal point. Her dress was also a Christmas present which was adorable with it's little applique owl. I must say that once again Evelyn's expressions stole the show. She managed to stay put for the whole session even though the whole time she was watching the dogs walk by. The last photo pretty much sums up that portion. I just can't get enough of her personality. Her hair is getting long, curly and unmanageable sticking out in all directions. I guess it just adds to her cuteness.
Also if you ever wonder why she never has any indication that she is a girl atop her head, it's because she pulls it off as soon as you put anything on her head.

My doctor expressed concern about my blood pressure levels at my last annual physical, and did what doctors do, prescribed a medication for me to try. I tried it, and felt quite sick, so we tried another, and I had strange symptoms with that one. Yes, I am one of those difficult patients because my body does not handle medications very well, so I have to find alternatives.
I never had to think about my blood pressure in the past, it was always good, but according to my doctor, the blood pressure goes up with age. Still, I want to put off taking medications for as long as I can, if not forever, so did my homework, and found a diet that many already know about, the DASH diet. DASH stands for Dietary Solutions to Stop Hypertension.
I am having some success reducing my blood pressure with this diet. It has become a popular way to lose weight for some as well, but by adjusting quantities of types of foods most of you eat as part of your diet anyway, you will get the proper amount of potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium to improve your blood pressure.
I went into greater detail about how I started, and free online resources available to help in another article, Information on How to Start the DASH Diet. I hope this will be helpful to those of you who, like me, want to lower blood pressure naturally.

by Daniel Galbraith, Chief Scientific Officer, Sartorius-Stedim BioOutsource Limited
The advent of a new class of drugs "biosimilars" has driven a revolution in biologics. Until 2006 biologics were seen as a class of drugs almost exclusively used in high cost Western medicine. These drugs were expensive to develop and expensive to produce, but more importantly were unable to be copied so the generics market seen in the small molecule drug field was not an option. This proposition was blown out of the water by Sandoz who took these preconceptions head on and with diligent scientific effort and close discussions with the regulators the first biosimilar in Europe was approved. Since that time the floodgates have opened with companies trying to develop copies of drugs that have lost their patent protection. It is difficult to find anyone in the pharma industry today who does not have a project or partnership in the biosimilar market, and this phenomenon is not exclusive to the Western market anymore – the expansion is truly global.

With this interest the question arises – why have so many projects been delayed or failed? The reason lies in the issue that we are still not in full control of how these hugely complicated drugs are produced and incredibly small changes to the manufacturing process can have huge impacts on the drugs clinical activity.
For example, the simple sugar fucose is one of the glycan structures that is added onto the antibody after it has been transcribed, part of the post-translational modifications that take place in the production cells. The percentage of antibodies that have the fucose added is dependent on many factors but are in part due to the media we use, the cells genetic makeup and even the temperature we are fermenting the cells at. Antibodies that have fucose as part of the glycan structure are less likely to strongly bind to the CD-16 receptor on natural killer cells; part of the immune response to foreign cells such as tumour cells.
This effect is measurable and can be over 100 fold less potent than those antibodies which do not contain fucose. A manufacturer of a biosimilar will need to match the exact fucose content of the innovator drugs to yield the same biological activity. In the complicated situation of a fermentor with so many parameters to control this can be an extremely difficult task. What also must be kept in perspective is that this is only one of the many different chemical constituents that go to make up an antibody, all inter-related and adding to the overall potency of the drugs. With this in mind it is easy to understand the complexity of biosimilar development.
To prevent costly and more importantly time consuming mistakes analysis needs to be undertaken as early as possible in the development of the drug. The sooner we apply analytics to ensure confirmation of biosimilarity the easier regulatory acceptance becomes.

Broncos Host Nevada for Senior Day
What's Happening This Week: The Boise State women's soccer team will honor its eight seniors during the last home match the season, Saturday. The Broncos will face Nevada at 1 p.m., in a match that will help decide seeding heading into next week's Mountain West Tournament.
Promotions: Kids 12-and-under can wear their Halloween costume to the match and get in free. Also, the first 100 fans will receive a Bronco rally towel.
Follow the Action: Live stats for each match will be available HERE, and live video will be provided with registration HERE.
Fans can also receive live in-game updates via twitter by following @broncosportssoc.
► Match 19 Preview - Nevada - Saturday, Oct. 27 - 1 p.m. MT
• The Series: Boise State holds a 10-1-1 record in the series and a 6-1-0 record when the two teams meet in Boise. Ten of the 12 matches have been conference battles while the two teams were members of the Western Athletic Conference.
• Last Time: The last time these two teams met was in 2010 at Reno. Ashley Walsh gave the Broncos an early lead with an unassisted goal in the 12th minute but the Wolf Pack responded with a score of its own in the 39th. The two teams continued to put up shots for the remainder of the match, but neither could convert. Liz Ruiz served as a wall in front of the net, making eight saves, five in the first half. The match went to overtime where Erica Parks served as the hero, scoring from inside the six yard box in the 97th minute to give the Broncos a 2-1 win.
• Scouting the Wolf Pack: Nevada is currently in a two-way tie for fifth in the conference, two points behind the Boise State. The Wolf Pack has scored only 12 goals in 17 matches for an average of 0.71 goals/game, the lowest in the conference. When Nevada does score, it is likely to come from the foot of sophomore midfielder Chrisalyn Fonte, who has five goals and three assists this season. On the defensive end, Nevada ranks fifth in goals against average (1.12/game) and is helmed by goalkeeper and reigning defensive player of the week, Dana Moreno.
2012 Bronco Season Notebook
► Between the Pipes - Boise State goalkeeper Maddy McDevitt entered the season with only three appearances and 270 minutes played. Since earning the starting job in the preseason, the redshirt sophomore has started every match and played the ninth-most minutes of any goalkeeper in the country (1,719:50).
► Movin' On Up -Lauren Hickok passed Lindsay Roberts for the most career starts in Boise State history with her 80th start against UNLV last week. Hickok still ranks second behind Roberts in minutes played (6,803) and is tied for fourth in games played (81).
Mandy Nader moved to third on that minutes played list with, 6,117 and just cracked the top 10 for games started, with 66. She and fellow senior Erica Parks are tied for sixth on the games played list with 79 apiece.
Parks is also currently in a tie for third on the career goals list (16) and ranks sixth in career points with 37. The senior needs two points to surpass Abbe Roche for fifth, and four points to jump Kaziah Hill and Randi Baker for third all-time. Parks is also tied for second with eight career game-winning goals, one behind the school record.
► Second-Half Siege - The Broncos have scored 17 of the season's 21 goals in the second half or later.
► No Place Like Home - Boise State is 5-2-2 at the Boas Soccer Complex where it has outscored opponents 14-8 this season while outshooting them 144-111. Overall, the Broncos own a 46-22-17 at the facility all-time.
► A "Schuer" Thing - Sophomore Shannon Schueren has recorded six goals, two assists, and 14 points this season, leading the team in each category. Her averages of 0.43 goals/game and 0.88 goals/game rank fourth and fifth in the conference, respectively.
► Young Guns - Head coach Steve Lucas has given the 2012 newcomers a chance to shine as five freshmen have started 11 or more games this season.
► Trends Of Success - Boise State is 7-0-0 in matches where they score the first goal. The Broncos picked up their first come-from-behind win last weekend against Fresno State.
The Broncos are also undefeated (4-0-0) when they score two or more goals.

Navy-Civilian, based by Lucy Jensen, works to bridge the gap between corporations looking to fill their open positions with navy veterans and their spouses in search of civilian careers. The Navy Order of the Purple Heart Scholarship is out there to all veterans who've been awarded the Purple Coronary heart. Veteran college students or dependents of veterans who withdraw from the faculty or go away the school without submitting for a leave of absence will lose their waiver or scholarship. In addition to the G.I..Bill, and the Post Sept. 11 G.I. Bill, there are all kinds of obtainable scholarships designed to encourage and assist veterans in their quest for a university training.
Massive cities in Texas have loads of jobs, more typically in Healthcare Professions and IT. Among its packages, ThanksUSA offers 1,000 scholarships a yr to kids and spouses of lively responsibility military personnel, activated reservists and soldiers killed or injured within the line of responsibility. Additional data on Prime-Up benefits is out there on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website.
Both the federal government and nonprofit organizations offer cash for college to veterans, future navy personnel, active duty personnel, or those related to veterans or active obligation personnel. Most are doing very nicely, especially with improvements within the medical care system and the benefits provisions for veterans who've their claims accepted.
Not like college scholarships, which provide additional funds, this program merely gives you the funds and advantages you're eligible for faster. Require military spouses to finish their program of research within three years from the beginning date of the primary course. I can understand how such a college might relieve contention over the result of the vote in earlier instances.

I've had three headshot sessions with Adam and each time I've walked away with amazing photos! He's very friendly and between his neighborhood and studio he provides a wide variety of backgrounds for any kind of look. other photographers will over-photoshop your pictures so you are completely flawless and plastic looking. Adam provides touch ups that exentuate your best features and best of all, you still look like you. Adam is always the first person I recommend for any sort of photography needs from portraits to weddings
We hired Dayvid to shoot our wedding in Malibu last month. We were a little nervous hiring some one we had never met, but we could not have asked for a better photographer. Our photos are amazing, Dayvid is a true artist!!! Dayvid was also very professional and had a calm soothing way about him that makes even those who do not like to be photographed feel comfortable. His attention to detail was wonderful, we are great full to Dayvid for capturing all of the great memories of the day that we now have for a life time.
We needed photos for the cover and interior of a regional magazine, which is published by the nation's largest networking entity for building and construction professionals. We had an extremely tight time frame for booking the photographer, taking the photos and receiving photo edits. Will Hartman with Desert Rose Photography was able to expedite our request at a very reasonable rate, and had no problem managing our very detailed instructions on the execution of the photo shoot. (Also, none of the publisher's representatives attended the photo shoot - Will executed everything on site based on guidance he received via telephone and email.) He arrived early to the location to scope out the best places for outdoor photography, and also worked hand-in-hand with the photo subjects to stage everyone (~25 people) in a variety of settings and locations. Needless to say, Will went above and beyond to deliver photos that were engaging, energetic, and dynamic. It was a real pleasure to work with him. We plan to use him again if the need arises, and would recommend him to anyone else looking for a professional, creative, capable photographer.
Brad (and Thumbtack) were phenomenal! At nearly the last minute I decided a professional photographer was in order for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. Somehow while searching the internet I found Thumbtack and after a few tries, found Brad. I provided no direction beyond the location and time of the party. He showed up as promised and did an incredible job. My daughter and I could not be happier with the photos. Thanks Brad!!
Ivan was my photographer for my maternity pictures. He did a phenomenal job! He took all of my example photos and really worked hard to get mine as close to them as possible. He brought a lot of camera equipment and material for lighting. I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. In all, he spent around 3 hours shooting. I never expected him to take so much time out of his day, but he was very dedicated and cared about the quality of the photos. Ivan truly went above and beyond. He had a great attitude and was easy to shoot with. I would recommend him to anyone!
Richard was one of the best photographers my family, friends and I have ever worked with in over 30 years of throwing events, weddings and birthdays. He was professional, on-time, felt the vibe of the event (even dressed the part). He had the proofs ready in a timely fashion. I will plan on using him again. He also gained many referrals from my event alone as he was one of the stars. Thank you again.
Nona is hands down one of the best photographers our family has ever worked with! Very professional and extremely good at what she does. We had to reschedule d/t the bipolar Houston weather and she worked well (and FAST) to get everything done, EVEN had a few pics ready in less than 24hrs!! I only wish we could've gotten the remaining photos a little sooner as a small project I was working on was delayed (and so many were so good!). To be fair, she delivered on her original ETA AND photos were done just before the holidays, so we know she was very busy. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know, our pictures have gotten rave reviews from family and friends!
We are new to California so we knew no one to do newborn and family portraits. Found Kelli on here and she arrived today and we were so pleased . She was so creative and sweet , made us all feel comfortable and handled my 19 month like a pro! She spent so much time with all four of us and made sure that there was not one pose or moment that we missed ! I would hire her again in an instant and can't wait to see the finished product!
I was in search of a professional photographer for family portraits. Low and behold I found Thumbtack and Tom (of Tovicand Photography) found me. Tom epitomizes professionalism while still maintaining a fun, casual vibe which allowed for the product of great photographs to emerge. I'd definitely recommend Tom, especially if you have kids, as a photographer and I plan on using his services again.
Danielle was an amazing photographer. She was not only my photographer, but my friend. She was a great listener, and helped me to calm down when I was having "those bridal moments." Her pictures are beautiful, and she did an amazing job capturing mine and my husbands love. I would give her more stars if I could. I would recommend anyone shopping around for a photographer. Choose Danielle. Meet with her, and you'll immediately see why she is so fantastic. ❤ Danielle, you're the best! Be my photographer when we get pregnant! ;)
I personally used Kenny Goldberg Photography for my daughters High School Senior photo. This was shot on location at Aliso Beach, CA. We spent a good three hours with a few clothing changes. The final product was absolutely beautiful. My daughter used her favorite photo for her facebook page and High School Graduation Announcement. I used Kenny Goldberg Photography for my Professional Linkedin photo, as well, and am very happy with it. I would like to recommend Kenny Goldberg Photography for your personal or corporate event needs. Whether your photography needs are for High School Senior photos, Family Portrait, Professional Headshot, Corporate Events, Prom, etc.., you will be very impressed and satisfied with the quality of Kenny Goldberg Photography services. Kenny Goldberg is passionate about photography. He possess a great eye and ability to bring out the individual personalities of his clients. If you are in the market for a seasoned professional, both for personal or corporate event use, I would contact Kenny Goldberg Photography.
AMINA is an excellent photographer. She photographed my daughter at the beach for her Senior photos and they turned out BEAUTIFUL! She made her feel at ease and they had fun which came through in the pictures. She is a true artist with a camera. We will definitely use her again.
Jordan Tritton is a very talented artist video and photographer. I'm very pleased with the jobs I have hired him for.
Natalie was very professional in her approach as a photographer. Photos came out great, and so were the edited versioon of the photos.
We scheduled a family group photo of 20 people, 10 adults, 10 kids. Hugh noticed that the daylight outside was ideal and the background good, thus the group picture was taken in this setting and turned out very well considering children ranging in age from 14 to 10 months. I would recommend Hugh to anyone needing family photographs at a reasonable price.
Hiring Attis Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions my wife and I made. We met with so many photographers, but Attis definitely stood apart from the rest. Anita is extremely organized and will get out of you exactly what you're looking for. Chris takes beautiful photos and has great attention to detail. We hired them for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and they did an amazing job on both. If I could go back, I would absolutely hire them again. And I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
Jess is hands down the sweetest photographer I have ever met. She really understood what I was looking for when it came to my engagement photos. She took amazing candid photos, as well as portrait photos that I will forever cherish. Thank you Jess for the hardwork and effort you put in!!! Highly highly highly recommend!!!!!!
April was awesome to work with!! We have had some bad experiences in the past with photographers and she did an amazing job! I would highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again if we are in her area!! Thank you April :)
Photo shoot with an amazing artist as the photographer! Great experience.
Carrie was very professional and provides great quality work for an affordable price. On top of the fact that she is just an overall cool person, this is a win/win for anyone looking for an affordable photographer with quality photos. Thanks again Carrie!
MIchael shot family portraits for my family. He was professional, courteous and helped our whole family feel comfortable in front of his camera. I would highly recommend his photography services.

We will soon be able to meet and exceed the basic needs of every man, woman and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing technologies and three other powerful forces are conspiring to better the lives of billions. An antidote to pessimism by tech entrepreneur turned philanthropist, Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler.
Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing—fast. The authors document how four forces—exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion—are conspiring to solve our biggest problems. Abundance establishes hard targets for change and lays out a strategic roadmap for governments, industry and entrepreneurs, giving us plenty of reason for optimism.
Examining human need by category—water, food, energy, healthcare, education, freedom—Diamandis and Kotler introduce dozens of innovators making great strides in each area: Larry Page, Steven Hawking, Dean Kamen, Daniel Kahneman, Elon Musk, Bill Joy, Stewart Brand, Jeff Skoll, Ray Kurzweil, Ratan Tata, Craig Venter, among many, many others.
A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from "I've got an idea" to "I run a billion-dollar company" far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today's hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities—armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today's entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.
The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster. In his landmark book, Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing history of the creation of an Eden--an Eden that may only be a mirage.
This edition includes a new postscript by Lawrie Mott, a former staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, that updates Western water issues over the last two decades, including the long-term impact of climate change and how the region can prepare for the future.
New methods based on the latest research Wastewater characterization and regulatory framework analyses leading to detailed design and economics State-of-the-art procedures for analyzing hydraulics, hydrology, substrates and wetlands biogeochemistry Definition of performance expectations for traditional pollutants such as solids, oxygen demand, nutrients and pathogens, as well as for metals and a wide variety of individual organic and inorganic chemicals Discussion of methods of configuration, construction, and vegetation establishment and startup considerations Ancillary benefits of human use and wildlife habitat Specific examples of numerous applications Extensive reference base of current information

The sheer amount of information found in Treatment Wetlands, Second Edition makes it the resource you will turn to again and again.
As every day brings urgent reports of growing water shortages around the world, there is no time to lose in the search for solutions.
The U.S. government predicts that forty of our fifty states-and 60 percent of the earth's land surface-will soon face alarming gaps between available water and the growing demand for it. Without action, food prices will rise, economic growth will slow, and political instability is likely to follow.
Let There Be Water illustrates how Israel can serve as a model for the United States and countries everywhere by showing how to blunt the worst of the coming water calamities. Even with 60 percent of its country made of desert, Israel has not only solved its water problem; it also had an abundance of water. Israel even supplies water to its neighbors-the Palestinians and the Kingdom of Jordan-every day.
Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews, Let There Be Water reveals the methods and techniques of the often offbeat inventors who enabled Israel to lead the world in cutting-edge water technology.
Let There Be Water also tells unknown stories of how cooperation on water systems can forge diplomatic ties and promote unity. Remarkably, not long ago, now-hostile Iran relied on Israel to manage its water systems, and access to Israel's water know-how helped to warm China's frosty relations with Israel.
Beautifully written, Seth M. Siegel's Let There Be Water is and inspiring account of the vision and sacrifice by a nation and people that have long made water security a top priority. Despite scant natural water resources, a rapidly growing population and economy, and often hostile neighbors, Israel has consistently jumped ahead of the water innovation-curve to assure a dynamic, vital future for itself. Every town, every country, and every reader can benefit from learning what Israel did to overcome daunting challenges and transform itself from a parched land into a water superpower.

In offshore oil and gas operations, produced water (the water produced with oil or gas from a well) accounts for the largest waste stream (in terms of volume discharged). Its discharge is continuous during oil and gas production and typically increases in volume over the lifetime of an offshore production platform.
Produced water discharge as waste into the ocean has become an environmental concern because of its potential contaminant content. Environmental risk assessments of ocean discharge of produced water have yielded different results. For example, several laboratory and field studies have shown that significant acute toxic effects cannot be detected beyond the "point of discharge" due to rapid dilution in the receiving waters. However, there is some preliminary evidence of chronic sub-lethal impacts in biota associated with the discharge of produced water from oil and gas fields within the North Sea.
As the composition and concentration of potential produced water contaminants may vary from one geologic formation to another, this conference also highlights the results of recent studies in Atlantic Canada.
Topics addressed include transport with inertia, described by persistent random walks and hyperbolic reaction-transport equations and transport by anomalous diffusion, in particular subdiffusion, where the mean square displacement grows sublinearly with time. In particular reaction-diffusion systems are studied where the medium is in turn either spatially inhomogeneous, compositionally heterogeneous or spatially discrete.

Every year the village of Ellingham in England puts on a 2 week teddy bear event using the famous teddy bear trail as a focus for their event. As part of the activity everyone makes some sort of stuffed teddy bear and displays it in their garden. Many participants are well known celebrities from the world of music, TV, and even royalty.
The activities raise money for charity but at the same time, it highlights village life in Norfolk.
The festivity has its history dating back to February 2004 when at a gathering, people discussed how they might celebrate a traditional weekend. Eventually, setting up a teddy bear event was decided upon. With all the input and energy a series of events was listed up and included:
A Saturday day of fun at the local vicarage
A Garden party
An art display
A service where people were encouraged to take along their teddy bears.
Over the years and as a result of all these activities, the village has managed to raise over £50,000 for local good causes.

ST. FRANCISVILLE — The Police Jury approved the long-awaited Independence sewer project Tuesday night in a move designed to bring sewage service to about 200 residents of southern West Feliciana Parish.
John Hashagen, public works superintendent for the parish, said the system should become financially stable by the fourth year of operation.
Residents in the area served by the system will be required to hook into the new sewer lines, according to both state and federal regulations.
Residents using the system would pay a flat rate of $35 per month. Grants will be made available to qualified, low-income residents to pay the cost of initial hookup to the system .
In another public works matter, the jury awarded a contract for replacement of some 54-inch culverts on La. 66 to Spinks Construction of St. Francisville.
The company's base bid was $77,705, considerably under the original $135,000 estimate for the job.
Other business coming before the jury Tuesday night included:
PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Jury President Ken Dawson told jurors the state has notified the parish that it would no longer discuss unapproved industrial sites with prospective businesses thinking of moving to Louisiana.
Dawson said the requirements for getting such sites approved are being sent to the parish.
The Police Jury will have to see what will be necessary to get the planned industrial area in the southern part of the parish certified under the state program, he said.
HEALTH UNIT: The jury approved transfer of the Parish Health Unit building to the Hospital Service District.
COURTHOUSE ANNEX: The jury hired Johnson Architectural Studio LLC to design and oversee renovations to the heating and air-conditioning systems in the parish courthouse annex.
BRIDGE INSPECTIONS: The jury was notified that bridge inspectors would be in the parish on Wednesday to certify bridges under the federal bridge replacement program.

Steps to Create a 5 Year Financial Plan
Why must one make a 5 year financial plane? Five years may not be a very long time to achieve lifelong goals, but this time can help you get started on them. It may not help you buy a house, but it will help you collect enough money for the first down payment.
It can be helpful to settle all your debts in a five year plan as it gives you good enough time to focus your budget on one thing. It is also enough time to build up an excellent credit history in case you are planning on buying a house or starting up a business.
Five years can be ample time to achieve a financial goal that you have been trying to for a while. If you don't get started on planning your financial moves for the future, you may find yourself living pay check to pay check and never being able to save enough for yourself.
Here's how to create a five year financial plan:
1. Write It All Down
First thing you have to do is write it all down. No matter how good a memory you may have, writing things down will always put a bit of pressure on you to actually complete the goals that you have set. It will also help you meet deadlines and have a better idea of how much to spend and what to spend it on.
2. Set Specific Goals
When you are making a five year plan, highlight the goals that you have to achieve first and work on it. If you have to pay off all your debt, make sure all the planning is done according to that. In case you need to save up for a new house, start on a saving plan and plan it out month by month for five years.
3. Keep A Check On Your Income
Know how much you make and set aside a specific portion of it to add to your monthly savings, if you start making more in the five year period, add a little more to the savings each month.
4. Emergency Savings
That money which you have been saving for a rainy day, take a sum out of that and put it in another account to save up for a thunderstorm. Life is unpredictable and misfortune can befall anyone anytime. Being prepared is a lot better than being sorry.
5. Eliminate Unnecessary Expenses
Do you really need the subscription to the home decor magazine you once thought you would need? Cut down all the unnecessary expenses that are getting in the way of you saving up. Look at new options when buying things; you might be able to get cheaper groceries at other supermarkets. Explore to find better and cheaper deals.
Every month you'll start saving and by the end of 5 years you will have enough to have successfully executed your five year planning. It requires patience and hard work but it pays off a lot better.

Encourage and model articulation of interests/needs/strengths to inform future learning
Example: A teacher provides his learners with a "Reflection Binder." At the end of each day, they reflect on their work, identifying what worked well for them, what they struggled with and what support they need.
Offer tools to help learners identify their own interests, strengths, needs and preferences (e. g., interest inventories, checklists, reflection exercises)
Example: Over the course of six weeks (beginning at the start of the school year or when a new learner arrives), teachers and learners complete several inventories to identify learning drivers and gaps.
Establish a culture that encourages learners to actively share their feelings and experiences while learning
Example: A teacher creates a system of small book clubs and public share-outs during independent reading time that helps the community of learners share their excitement for books.
Provide learners with a systematic method (e.g., learner profiles) for documenting learning needs and preferences
Example: A teacher uses a platform for learners to regularly update their interests, needs and strengths in focus areas to inform conferences, interventions and/or upcoming lesson plan design.
Guide learners to generate questions that lead to further curiosity and/or self-directed learning
Example: A teacher does a KWI (Know, Wonder, Interest) chart to have learners share what they know, wonder and are interested in regarding a theme.

2011 is the 25th anniversary of the Tie One On For Safety® campaign. It runs from Thanksgiving through December 31.
MADD's (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) annual Tie One On For Safety campaign calls for motorists to display a red ribbon on their cars in support of law enforcement crackdown efforts and as a pledge to drive safe and sober.
I think everyone knows of the danger to ourselves and others from alcohol related injury or death. Nationally, one person is killed approximately every 50 minutes by a driver with a blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, of .08 or higher.
But the effects of alcohol abuse can affect your health even if you aren't in an accident. And a person does not have to be alcoholic to be impacted.
Alcohol can lead to
- weight gain from calories in alcohol and in the snacks we often eat while drinking
- impact on blood sugar levels; diabetes and hypoglycemia
- multiple vitamin deficiencies, such as vitamins B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12, C, K as well as folic acid and niacin.
- damage to our organs
Diet supplements can help maintain your health, but cannot prevent all damage.
When I was younger, none of that entered my head. I wonder how much healthier I could be now?
Are you a designated driver? If not, will you be riding with one?
We don't want to make the moms angry, do we?
