The big rail stations in the "East End" of Paris, Gare d'Lyon and Gare d'Austerlitz, have long been obstacles to the urban development of the Seine River frontage between the Isle St. Louis and the zone of the Thier walls. Broad swaths of tracks, warehouses and other industrial uses along both sides of the river not only restricted the use of these prime river front areas for commercial and residential use but they also devalued adjacent land along the tracks. With the inauguration of Mitterand's Grands Projets competitions for major new buildings and the simultaneous adoption of the Plan Programme de l'East de Paris, in the early 1980's, efforts were directed to begin the redevelopment of the East End of Paris along the river. Critical elements of this program include two of the last of the Grands Projets, the Ministry of Finance, by Paul Chemetov, built at Bercy just north of Pont Bercy in 1988, and construction of a new National Library by Dominique Perrault, on the opposite side of the river between 1995 and 1997. The Bercy wine market was replaced with a new public park including new residential and commercial districts in the late 1990's. Rive Gauche, an enormous new community that continues the elevated zone of the National Library along the river was planned to be built completely covering the tracks into Austerlitz station and included new residential quarters and a major new commercial boulevard, Avenue de France. When this new community is finished it will include several thousand new dwellings, 900,000 square meters of office space and 300,000 square meters of shops and other facilities. The 13th arrondisement, long isolated from contact with the Seine, will now connect to the river via a vast elevated structure built above the tracks. (See ZAC, Seine Rive Gauche, for a more complete description of the Rive Gauche area.)
Rue du Chevaleret is a meandering street along the bottom of the sloping north edge of the 13th arrondisement, an area that had long been a marginal neighborhood because of its proximity to the industrial zone of the tracks. The city's proposals to build Rive Gauche, however, greatly improved the value of property along Rue Chevaleret and, by the mid 1980's, several new projects were underway along this street. Henri Ciriani's building is located on one such site, the corner of a perimeter block facing Rue du Chevaleret and Rue Charot. Ciriani is well known for earlier social housing in the new towns around Paris, Evry, Marne-La-Vallee, at Saint-Denis, a town just north of Paris, and for other recent apartments in The Netherlands, but this is his first housing in Paris.
The 9-story building completes the chamfered corner of the block resulting in three different facades that are organized as four distinct elements. A zone of duplex apartments that wraps the corner, forming two separate facades that share a common entrance at the corner. This central zone of duplexes changes to a zone of flats at each side where they abut adjacent buildings along the street. The zone of duplexes is expressed as a very plastic, reticulated frame of infill panels with projecting balconies while the zones of flats to either side are detailed as flush walls with strip windows and integral balconies. A row of shops occupies the ground floor and forms a raised base for the apartments above. The lobby is raised slightly from the sidewalk and extends to the rear where there is a view of the courtyard. In response to zoning requirements, the building steps back above the cornice at the top of the 7th floor. An additional row of duplex dwellings is located above this on the Rue du Chevaleret faÁade, set back forming continuous roof terraces.
The plan is organized as two double-loaded, skip-stop corridor buildings that interlock at the corner sharing a common lobby and stair. The corridors do not occur at the same level, however, so each block has its own elevator. This shift in section, the result of a sloping site, is also apparent in the elevations. Each block is organized with a zone of duplex apartments facing the street that have two story high living spaces and stairs connecting to upper levels that wrap over the corridor and have bedrooms facing the interior court. Smaller flats are organized in a narrow zone along the court side of the corridor and at the ends that abut adjacent buildings. The plan idea is also clearly expressed in the facades. The zone of duplexes are articulated as recessed infill panels in a two-story high structural frame on both street surfaces, and while a similar frame and panel system is used in each building, there are enough detail changes that two different buildings are clearly discernible. The reading of the structural frame is reduced in the zone of flats to each side that continues the street surface but have recessed balconies. The development of the infill panel is one of the most striking architectural features of the buiilding, recalling Rationalist traditions of articulated structure, but rendering the two main facades as very plastic and layered constructions. The columns and floor slabs define a grid 5.6 meters wide and two stories high, each being the two-story end of each maisonette. A limestone panel, placed slightly obliquely in each recessed bay, provides a rich pallet of materials and colors. While the internal two story volume of the living space does not extend to the exterior, the presence of this extended vertical volume is expressed on the faÁade as the two-story high bay and a vertical slot of fixed class with brightly colored operating panels along one side of the opening. A band of clerestory windows at the top of the panel defines the zone of the bedroom and study balcony on the second floor while the projecting balcony below expresses the position of the living spaces on the interior. The combination of modular limestone panels, flush aluminum windows with operating panels, vertical strip fixed glass with operating colored panels and the stucco and metal railings of the balcony results in a rich composition that is further articulated by the shadows cast by the structure and balcony on the oblique recessed panel.
These maisonettes are derived from Immeubles-villas and unitť archetypes and are a potent demonstration that it is possible to build social housing with two story-high living spaces and spatially developed interiors. Like the unitť type, the kitchen is adjacent to the entry opening to a dining area under the bedroom above. The stair, located at the entrance, rises up through the two-story height of the living room to the bedrooms and baths above. Two bedrooms, above the corridor and flat below, have balconies overlooking the landscaped courtyard. The third bedroom faces the street and has a small balcony across the faÁade end of the void of the living space that serves as a small study/work area with high windows on the street side but overlooking the living room below. The clerestory windows on the street faÁade light the upper part of the living room and the common open area at the top of the stairs that functions as a common family area overlooking the living room. The combination of balconies on both ends of the apartment, central two-story high void, and developed mezzanine condition are all quotes from a Corbusian legacy but applied in a very intelligible package suitable for larger families of modest means. The use of the bridge/mezzanine at the end of the living room recalls a similar spatial scheme used by Sert in the Montaner apartments in Barcelona of 1931, and like this example, avoids high glass walls that were an important architectural feature, albeit a solar problem with both the Immeubles-villas and unitť prototypes. The problem of the exaggerated length and narrow width of the unitť type is avoided here by the 5.6-meter width--it allows for two normal bedrooms--and shorter overall length--it allows for normal baths and kitchens. The mix of maisonettes and flats is also an important concept here. While dominated by the image of the 18 maisonettes facing the streets, there are actually more flats that vary in size from a studio dwelling at the lobby level to small one and two bedroom dwellings at the upper floors. Access to all these apartments is spatially developed from the entrance and lobby, moving to the rear of the building where there is a view of the interior garden, and passing to the upper levels along two-story high glazed walls that let light into the entrance hallways.
In 1995 an idea competition was held for the landscaping and further development of the west edge of the tracks along Rue du Chevaleret. The difference in elevation between the level of the proposed platform above the tracks and the level of Rue de Chevaleret required significant design efforts to improve the public spaces along the street and to provide access up to the Rive Gauche areas. Although the upper floors of Ciriani's building now have spectacular views of Perrault's library (across the tracks), in the future it will most likely face a landscaped street and wall on top of which will be a row of taller buildings. Rue du Chevaleret thus will have a completely new urbanistic role as a transitional element between the established neighborhoods of the 13th arrondisement and the new city being built at Rive Gauche.

Ice melters containing potassium chloride and urea tend to have less effect on vegetation as both materials are also fertilizers. However , over application of either can cause salt damage
Ice melt products
Traditionally , Sodium Chloride or "salt" if the traditional rock salt and least expensive ice melter available. Soils and plants can be damaged by high concentrations of sodium chloride. Sodium chloride melts to approximately 12 degrees F
Potassium Chloride - a common fertilizer nutrient that offers more safety to plants than sodium chloride . Compared to salt , this material is not damaging to the soil structure. Potassium Chloride – Potash … melts to approximately 20 degrees F
Urea – Urea is a common fertilizer ( 46-0-0 ) that is also a very good ice melter , that like potassium chloride, is safe for plants . Urea melts effectively to approximately 20degrees F
Magnesium Chloride - Magnesium Chloride is a very hydroscopic salt. An open bag will leave a pool of water if left open. Often used un many ice melt blends , heavy applications can be tracked to indoor surfaces resulting in slippery flooring. Magnesium Chloride melts effectively to approximately -25 degrees F
Calcium Chloride – a by- product of chemical manufacturing process, calcium chloride is a very traditional ice melter product . Very Hygroscopic like magnesium chloride , it forms a slippery , slimy surfaces on concrete and hard flooring. Some people and pets show dermal sensitivity in the form of rashes and "burns". Calcium Chloride melts effectively to approximately – 25 degrees F

Infographic: How Easy Is It To Switch Instruments? | Music Tips
Drummers, are you curious about the cello? Is it easy or hard to switch from guitar to piano? Learn the tips and tricks for switching instruments in this post by teacher Willy M…
Have you been playing an instrument for a while now, but you're beginning to realize that it doesn't do everything you'd like to do musically? Did your parents spend a lot of money on an instrument (and you like it), but you'd also like to try something new?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this is the article for you!
Switching from one instrument to another — from guitar to piano, for example — doesn't have to be difficult. Sure, you won't master it overnight. But this article will dive into tips and tricks to make the transition easier.
How to Play Multiple Instruments
I am a multi-instrumentalist. I play keyboard instruments, and I play stringed instruments like the guitar, the banjo, and the mandolin. I also play wind instruments like the harmonica and the tin whistle, as well as percussion and drums for different bands.
People often come up to me when they see me perform with some kind of amazed wonder. Other musicians approach me as if I am some kind of superhuman to be able to play at a professional level on a wide variety of instruments.
But let me assure you, I am a normal person just like you.
What makes me different is that I've learned to understand that all instruments share some of the same fundamental principles. And once you understand the principles that apply to all instruments, you can figure out how to make music on these instruments.
But first, let's break down the four main types of instruments:
- Piano (including keyboards)
- Stringed instruments (including guitar, banjo, mandolin, and violin)
- Wind instruments (including flute, harmonica, brass instruments, and bagpipes)
- Percussion instruments (including drum set, djembe, and cajon)
Understanding the Basics
There are a few things to keep in mind when transitioning from one instrument to another:
1) The basic notes will almost always be the same, no matter what instrument you switch to. (I say almost, because some world instruments do have extra notes, but for our discussion we will stick to well-known Western instruments.) A Major scale will always be A Major scale. A Minor scale will always be A Minor scale.
2) There will be some muscle memory issues that need to be worked out with almost every transition you make. Sometimes you will be switching from predominately using your left hand to predominately using your right, or vice versa. Sometimes, you'll need to build finger strength when you move over to an instrument that requires more than your first instrument. Posture muscles, lip and mouth muscles, finger calluses, arm muscles, and even leg muscles may need to be developed and conditioned.
3) You may find that the way you comfortably sit with one instrument is not the way you sit comfortably with another instrument. As an example: when I play the banjo, I sit with my knees tucked in to allow the banjo a place to rest while I play, whereas with the drums, my knees are wider apart to reach the hi-hat and kick pedals.
4) You may find that your fingers are already trained. For instance, a guitar uses the left-hand fingers for playing chords and lead lines. The Irish tin whistle uses the left hand to finger some of the holes, and the dexterity gained from playing the guitar can easily cross over to the tin whistle.
5) Depending on the instrument you begin with, some new musical techniques may need to be learned. If you started with an instrument that uses a particular clef, you might need to learn to read another clef. If you never read tablature before, you might need to learn.
How to Switch Instruments – Diving In Further
So now that we've covered some basic things that you need to look out for, let's take a look at switching to and from certain instrument categories.
Jump to Sections:

– Piano to Wind

– Recap
Switching from keyboards to stringed instruments can be tricky. If you are switching to a stringed instrument that primarily uses tablature (guitar, banjo, mandolin, lute) you might find that learning to read the TAB is confusing.
Another thing to look out for is this: when you play a keyboard instrument, it takes little to no muscle strength to push down on the keys to produce a note. But with most stringed instruments, you will need to build up finger strength, finger sensitivity (yes, you might start developing calluses on your fingers), and even arm strength when you transition. These things are normal.
When you switch from playing the piano or keyboard to an air-blown instrument, you may find that you are much more conscious about your breath control. You may find that your ribs hurt, and you might feel lightheaded at first as you learn how to support your breath. Also, depending on the type of instrument (padded, valve, or open-holed) you may find that you develop thicker pads on your fingers if you are switching to an open-holed type of wind-blown instrument.
As far as reading music is concerned, though, most wind instruments use the same clefs that you have already memorized– so that will be easy for you!
One of the nice things about switching from piano (where you are using pedals with one foot) or organ (where you are using pedals with two feet) to the drum kit is that you are already trained to use your feet as you play. This dexterity of your hands and feet will make this transition much easier.
Also, many piano parts in popular music and classical styles tend to be rhythmic and multi-rhythmic, respectively, so mastering the multi-rhythms of the drums should feel like something you already know.
The tricky part of this switch is it might take you some time to develop finesse on the drums. It is all well and good to beat out a rhythm on a percussion instrument, but to do it smoothly and with subtlety will take some practice.
It's always easy for me to spot a performer who started out on a stringed instrument and then moved to the keyboard, because they tend to have what I call the "guitarist's hiccup." When you play guitar, you play left then right — the left hand forms the chord first and then the right hand strums. Even if this is done almost instantaneously, it is still something that you will hear when a guitarist-turned-pianist plays. There is always a ba-dum rhythm to their playing as the left hand lands on the keyboard slightly before the right hand. Musicians who successfully transition from guitar to piano learn how to get rid of this stutter.
Another thing for some string players to consider: if you're switching from an instrument that is devoted to one clef, you might need to learn a new clef; if you are coming from a TAB-based instrument, you'll need to learn how to read sheet music. Also, proper seated position at a keyboard might be a bit uncomfortable for some string players, but you'll develop it with practice.
Many of the challenges here are the same as the ones I mentioned for switching from piano to wind instruments.
Additionally, if you're a guitar player who has developed calluses on your fingers, you may have some trouble with open-holed instruments, as the calluses on your fingers may cause a gap. You'll have to press down with extra strength to seal the hole.
Here's the bonus: Some air-blown instruments can be played while you play your stringed instrument, like playing a harmonica with a guitar.
Moving from a stringed instrument to a percussion instrument, like from guitar to drums, is a relatively easy transition. Both use wider arm movements, and both tend to be used as rhythmic instruments. Percussion sheet music is similar to TAB, and often the rhythm string players are used to listening for the kick drum to help them keep time. The left-hand dexterity that is developed in many stringed instruments is also good for helping you play smoothly.
However, if you're switching to a drum set that requires playing with both hands and feet, this is where you'll need practice.
This may be one of the more difficult transitions to master. Muscle memory will need to be re-learned, since your hands will transition from being in-line to side-by-side. You'll be a pro at reading one clef — but with keyboard you'll need to read two clefs (and up to 10 notes) at a time.
For this type of switch, I recommend approaching each finger on the keyboard as if you were looking at a separate wind instrument. Spend a lot of time learning how chords and harmony work, too.
This can also be a bit of a tough switch, as you'll have a similar problem with the hand positions. You also may have a lot of pain as you develop calluses on your fingers, and as you develop muscles in the arms you are not used to using.
Also, if you play an open-holed wind instrument, keep in mind the same advice applies from transitioning from strings to air-blown instruments. Your calluses might get in the way of achieving a nice tone on the stringed instrument. You may also need to learn how to read tab, if you're switching to guitar.
If you play a wind instrument, switching to percussion might seem like a bizarre transition. For some percussion instruments, you'll need to get used to using both your hands and your feet!
Keep in mind, though, that rhythm doesn't change from one instrument to the other, so the rhythmic principles will always apply. And the fact that you are used to playing left and right hands in various sequences will do you well when you switch over to the drums.
Switching from drums to piano produces a lot of the same challenges as the other way around. On the plus side, it's good that you can use both your hands and your feet. This will be useful, especially if you are going to be playing the organ.
But there are a lot of new musical principles that percussionists will need to learn. For example, you'll have to learn chords, scales, how melodies work, how chord progressions work, how harmony works, and the differences between major and minor and modes. It's a far greater learning curve than the other transitions that I mentioned above.
As a percussionist, you'll likely have rhythm down pat — so that part will be easy for you. But for this transition, you'll learn to focus on one note and one hand position at a time. While you might find this a bit constrictive, in the end it will give you another outlet for your musical expression. You'll also need to practice breath control and support.
Like the transition from drums to piano, switching from drums to strings has a whole host of challenges. The foremost is probably development of finger strength, which is not something most percussionists spend a lot of time on (unless you play something like the djembe or cajon). Other issues include learning tab or sheet music, learning about chords and harmonies, learning about melody, and all of the other things that you would learn if you were to transition to the keyboard, as mentioned above.
On the plus side, you've probably built up your arm strength, which will carry over well.

LOS ANGELES — YouTube said it's working to correct a process that placed LGBTQ content from some YouTube creators in "restricted mode," an opt-in feature that screens what some parents might deem as objectionable content.
The response came after widely followed creators including Tyler Oakley and Gigi Gorgeous complained about the disappearance of their videos with LGBTQ themes — such as profiles of inspiring leaders — under the restricted filter this weekend.
In a nutshell, this is a case of a YouTube filter placing any gay-themed content—from coming out stories to dating tips—into the category of "sexual" restricted content, a designation creators called wrong and harmful to their followers.
Oakley, who has 5.6 million followers on Twitter and over 8 million subscribers to his YouTube channels, said he was "perplexed" about YouTube's move, adding that his recent video "8 Black LGBTQ+ Trailblazers Who Inspire Me" had been blocked.
YouTube performer Gorgeous, who starred in a YouTube Red documentary from noted filmmaker Barbara Kopple about her transformation from Gregory to Gigi, posted an entire video blasting the restrictions. She put on the Restricted tab as a test, and found most of her videos were not there. "Nothing personal, no story times, none of my videos talking about my gender or my sexual orientation or anything like that." The move "kind of makes us, the LGBTQ community, look bad."
YouTube, which regularly touts videos from the LGBTQ community in promotions, released a statement late Sunday night, then followed up twice Monday, with a new statement, and finally a blog post. "The bottom line is that this feature isn't working the way it should," Johanna Wright, YouTube's vice-president of Product Management said in the post. "We're sorry and going to fix it."
The Restricted Mode feature, YouTube said, is optional, and used by just a "very small subset of users," 1.5 percent of daily views, the Google-owned unit said. "We designed this feature to broadly restrict content across more mature topics, whether these are videos that contain profanity, those that depict images or descriptions of violence, or discussion of certain diseases like addictions and eatings disorders," Wright said in her post. "Our system sometimes make mistakes in understanding context and nuances when it access which videos to make available in restricted Mode."
To watch without restrictions, go to the account section of YouTube, where you will be given the option of watching in Restricted mode. Click off if you prefer to watch YouTube without filters.
Wright said it will take time for YouTube to fully audit the technology and roll out new changes to Restricted Mode.

Bundle up, lie back and enjoy the show, but don't expect too much.
Astronomers are alerting sky watchers that tonight the Ursid meteor shower is to peak, meaning the more attentive could see eight to 10 meteors an hour that appear to come from the constellation Ursa Minor, better known as the Little Dipper.
The constellation is near the north star. The meteors come from debris left by a comet designated 8P/Tuttle.
Reports the Spaceweather.com news service: "The display is usually mild, but outbursts of Ursids occasionally surprise observers with rates many times normal." That last happened in 2006, it says.

Williams, 21, became the first black player to represent Athletic, who only field Basque players, when he made his debut for the club in 2014. However, the attacker says to this day, despite being born in Pamplona, people still question his right to play for the club due to his skin colour.
"For me, it's an honour that black people and African people are proud of me," he says in the Amazon documentary...

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 13, 2015
Golden Apple, a leading nonprofit committed to celebrating and developing great teachers with the ability and passion to make life-changing differences in the lives of students, today surprised three more teachers in the area with the highly respected Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching. The awards recognize and honor outstanding teachers for their roles in building a stronger, better-educated society. The 2015 recipients were selected from a pool of more than 600 nominations, and represent Pre-K-3rd grade teachers throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching recipients surprised on May 13:
Ms. Lauren Saliny, special education 2nd & 3rd grades, Washington Irving School, Oak Park (College degrees from Millikin University and University of Illinois at Chicago)
Lauren Saliny says her classroom is a microcosm of the multicultural community in which she works. She believes a positive learning environment leads to student achievement, which is what she strives for everyday by modeling positive, supportive and respectful social interactions. She starts each day with a "morning meeting" where students sing songs, play games, and set the emotional tone for the day. Her students have disabilities ranging from autism to speech to intellectual disabilities, and it is challenging for her students to express their communication preference with her. Therefore, she uses a variety of techniques, from sign language to physical gestures, to visual representations of progress. She learns about each student's like and dislikes and incorporates that into lessons. Being a teacher extends beyond the classroom for Saliny, as she often attends students' extracurricular activities and volunteers for school-sponsored events.
Mr. James Schamber, 2nd grade teacher, Orrington Elementary School, Evanston (College degrees from DePaul University)
Humor plays a big role in James Schamber's classroom, as it bridges the gap between instructional goals and learning outcomes. He says that learners feel comfortable expressing themselves because in his classroom he understands that mistakes must be made in order to reach differentiated learning goals. He leverages technology, dancing and singing to create a fun, comfortable and engaging classroom environment. Schamber believes humor is a motivational tool and helps define the nature of expectations within academic periods. He says that learning does not stop at the end of the day, and is often found tutoring his students, mentoring students from a previous year, or watching a student's performance from the audience. He says most importantly, he looks for a student's potential rather than focusing on perceived challenges.
Mr. Fontane Thomas, Pre-K teacher, Stephen K. Hayt School, Chicago (College degrees from Arizona State University and National Louis University)
In order to engage his students in learning, Fontane Thomas emphasizes the need to establish a connection with his students -- the majority of whom are English Language Learners, and some have developmental delays. He spends a great deal of time with his students as they learn the language. The development of each child is Fontane's top priority, and he often finds himself in the "advocate" role with a child that needs some extra help in one or more areas. He works diligently to create a classroom environment where students feel safe to open up and they have the courage to talk about some of the challenges involved with learning a second language. One way that he creates a positive atmosphere in the classroom is through circle time, where students sit together at the end of the day and review issues and events that took place. He reaches out to cultural organizations that can be resources to parents, and invites them to the school to connect. Thomas participates in the Parent Teacher Organization and the Instructional Learning Team for the school. Working with both of these groups gives him insights about what parents feel are important needs in the school.

If you have been feeling an economic pinch lately it isn't just your imagination. A Pew Center study found "the upper-income tier now take in a much larger share of the American aggregate household income than they did four decades ago, while those in the middle tier take in a much lower share." In fact, the middle class lost a 17 percent share of the total income between 1970 and 2010. The lower-income households lost 1 percent. If you look at net assets, it's even worse. The middle class took a 28 percent loss in assets from 2001 to 2010. Much of this was because of losses in home equity.
How did we get into this economic mess? It was no accident. There were deliberate planned actions. Those in the Pew study blamed Congress, banks and financial institutions and large corporations. They are surely on target. Many well-paying manufacturing jobs went overseas because of cheaper labor, such as the Vise-Grip plant in DeWitt. Many of these plants were profitable here, but the owners were seeking even more profits.
Teacher positions and other government jobs have been cut back. Minimum wage has fallen far behind cost-of-living increases and with it lots of lower-paying jobs. Beginning in the 1980s the government loosened banking regulations culminating in 1999 with the end of the Glass-Steagall Act. This helped financial institutions to become richer, and they in turn enriched their executives. In 1978, the average CEO's compensation was 26 times the average worker's salary, but by 2010 it was 205 times the average worker's wage. The home mortgage mess partially caused by looser regulations dropped home prices, thus hurting many middle- and lower-income families.
Some of the responsibility also goes to changes in our federal tax code. The richest Americans have had the greatest drop in their tax bills. They have many defenders in national and state governments claiming they are the "job creators" and therefore more money in their hands is a good thing. Of course if this were true we should have full employment by now. However, it is consumers with spendable money who create demand for products and services, and that translates into jobs. The tax rate on the top 0.1 percent has gone from more than 70 percent in 1970 to 35 percent in 2004. This is often lower because of the capital gains tax advantage. Our lawmakers have given continuous cuts to these top earners. When Congress has made cuts in programs to pay for a small part of these tax cuts, of course the programs cut have been those helping middle- and lower-income families.
When people lose jobs and do find work, it is usually at a lesser wage. Some people in the middle whose wages have fallen have been dropped down from the middle to lower-income bracket. When these lower incomes remain flat, we see it in some Nebraska statistics. Because we have low unemployment -- about 4 percent -- one would expect that the poverty rate would be minimal. But in 2010 we still had a state poverty rate of 11.8 percent and a Lancaster County rate of 13.8 percent, indicating that many of those jobs don't pay enough for a decent standard of living.
We can do something about this assault on the middle and lower classes. We can debunk the myths that we are fed. We can be informed, active citizens. We can work for quality education that meets the needs of today's jobs. We can be active members of organizations that work for justice. This may mean working for laws that will encourage companies to bring jobs and profits back to the United States. It may mean pushing for higher wages or a more graduated income tax that plugs loopholes so that Warren Buffett's secretary no longer pays a higher percentage of her income in taxes than he does.

Narrative Part 4: Hydrogen
The presence of hydrogen in reactor coolant is not unusual. A small amount of hydrogen, in fact, is added to the cooling water intentionally. This hydrogen causes no problems, and is there to combine with any excess oxygen that might form in the system, thus to inhibit oxidation of the metal components.
When Zirconium, the metal used in the fuel rod cladding, is exposed to high heat in the presence of steam, a chemical reaction known as hydration takes place. This reaction destroys the metal and releases hydrogen gas. For hours, this additional hydrogen had been collecting in the reactor vessel, mixed into the steam bubble lurking just under the vessel's head seals. The gas was also present in large quantities in the containment building atmosphere; it came fizzing out of solution as the primary water spilled onto the containment floor.
The first warning of the presence of hydrogen in the system was quite violent, but thanks to the heavily overengineered containment structure, it was almost anticlimactic save for its implications. A poorly shielded relay sparked, detonating the hydrogen in the containment. The instrument measuring containment pressure zoomed to a frightening 28 pounds per square inch before starting down again. Later analysis showed that this instrument's response was quite slow, and the real peak pressure was probably closer to 80 PSI! The force shook the control room floor noticeably, and energy released was thought to be equivalent to the explosion of several modern 1,000 pound bombs. Despite the violence of the explosion, permanently installed strain gauges in the containment structure showed that it caused no undue stress.
While there was no significant damage from this detonation, quaintly termed a "bump", it was an ominous sign. While a steam bubble could be collapsed with little more than changes in pressure or temperature, a hydrogen bubble was there to stay until it was either vented or removed chemically. Hydrogen, the least massive of all gases, had even less potential for cooling the core than the steam bubble itself. Operators, still confused, thought initially that the shock they felt was a ventilation damper closing, and only during later analysis did the true cause become known.
Of course, hydrogen can't burn without oxygen, and since it was fairly certain that only steam and hydrogen comprised the bubble, there was little concern about a hydrogen explosion inside the reactor vessel. No one even wanted to consider the possibility, in fact. The chances of the reactor vessel and primary loop piping surviving that kind of shock ranged from slim to none.
Ironically, it was an engineer-turned-bureaucrat named Joseph Hendrie who raised the issue. As chairman of the NRC, Hendrie was getting disturbing information from his man on-site, Harold Denton. Half the core uncovered. Large amounts of hydrogen, and an eight-second, 28 PSI pressure spike in the containment that sounded an awful lot like a hydrogen burn. Gamma and neutron flux higher than anything ever seen before except in nuclear weapons tests. Hendrie knew that sufficient amounts of radiation could cause a little-known phenomenon called radiolysis. This would break the chemical bonds that held water together, putting oxygen and even more hydrogen into the system -- and gas samples at the auxiliary building vent header indeed had begun to show higher and higher levels of oxygen.
Calculations seemed to indicate that a 5% partial pressure of oxygen in the hydrogen bubble would be the flammability threshold. At or above that level, any source of ignition inside the vessel would cause the mixture to explode. At 11% partial pressure, with the temperatures involved, the mixture would self-ignite, needing no additional source of ignition at all.
On March 30 (day three of the accident), Hendrie presented his case at a White House briefing, stressing the need for immediate action. Fortunately, he wasn't ignored. The NRC formed a special unit known as the "Bubble Squad", who managed to repair, reconfigure, and press into service one of the hydrogen recombiners in the auxiliary building. It took 150,000 pounds of lead brick, flown in for the purpose, just to satisfactorily shield the machine.
Meanwhile, efforts to re-cover the core with water and restore normal core cooling continued in earnest. Pressure was dumped in order to allow low-pressure pumps to deliver additional coolant, then the system was repressurized yet again. Results were mixed, but generally positive.
It was vitally important to get at least one of the huge main coolant pumps restarted, to aid cooling of the reactor core. Predictably, this wasn't going to be easy. An oil-lift pump used to lubricate the bearings of the gigantic motor ... wouldn't start. An operator was dispatched to repair it. Safety systems, noting the unusual conditions surrounding the steam bubble in the reactor vessel, refused to allow the pump to start. With some difficulty, these were bypassed. Finally, fifteen hours after the onset of the accident, the pump was cautiously tested, then started and allowed to run. The reactor was once again being cooled.
Over the next several days, the recombiner along with other chemical and physical processes were used to remove the steam and hydrogen from the reactor. The simplest and most dangerous method of removing this gas was to vent it into the atmosphere. Engineers knew this would be dangerous to the public. After all, there was no way to release the hydrogen without releasing other, radioactive gases with it. They were forced, however, to weigh this danger against the danger of a hydrogen explosion in the reactor vessel, which would most likely cause the release of radioactive water, steam, and deadly fission products on a much larger, and totally uncontrolled basis. Some gas was released, and carefully monitored.
When the bubble was finally collapsed and something resembling a normal coolant flow was restored, engineers took stock of the situation. Present-day thinking backs up their belief that the reactor vessel bubble contained at least 5% oxygen for at least 24 hours.
The story was far from over, however. Thousands of Curies of radioactive noble gases had been released into the air at various points during the accident, and these releases would have to be accounted for. Radioactive water had been released into the Susquehanna river to prevent the reactor building sumps from overflowing, and this too had to be tracked and monitored. Every single one of the 36,000 fuel rods in the reactor had ruptured, releasing radioactive gases and fission products into the coolant. More than seventy percent of the core had been out of the water for as much as two hours. The core was a mass of rubble, and parts of it had reached temperatures approaching 4,300 degrees. Uranium oxide fuel melts to a liquid state at 5,000 degrees.
The last major venting of noble gases from unit 2 occurred in 1981, and cleanup efforts have progressed well since then. All of the contaminated water has been cleaned up and evaporated, and all but a few kilograms of fuel has been removed. While radiation inside the containment is still above normal, manned entries have been made into the area, and radiation levels on the refueling floor were low enough to permit several hours of exposure without significant danger to personnel. The plant is in what is known as a "safe storage" condition, and will not be decommissioned completely until 2005, to allow the utility to decommission both units at once.
TMI Unit 1, which had just been refueled at the time of the accident and was preparing to go back online, had its license pulled a short time after the accident. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission was in a state of panic; TMI-1 had the best operating record in the industry at the time of the accident. Unit 1 stayed down for nearly 5 years. Part of this was due to modifications required by new NRC regulations, and part of it was politics. The plant has now resumed operation.

Following yesterday's loss versus Manchester United, Arsenal have proven yet again that they are a work in progress side. Despite a decent start to the season, the gunners have lost concentration, faltered and others have taken advantage of their fragilities.
The North Londoners were without a doubt outplayed by their opponents at a place where they normally struggle. The match was far from a close contest and the score line could and should have been worse had United taken their chances.
Although Arsenal had the best defensive record in the league coming into this fixture but that defense conceded no less than 5 goals in midweek against Reading. Gunners somehow fought back to win that contest but it wasn't going to happen against Manchester United who exploited the same weaknesses to beat them.
A costly error in the third minute of the game unsettled Arsenal and afterwards they just could not recover. For worst that goal was scored by none other than their ex captain and star striker, someone who they miss the most, Robin van Persie. Not to forget, the goal was set up for him by none other than the current captain Thomas Vermaelen who had one of his worst outings in the red and white shirt. Arsene Wenger showed no hesitancy in blaming his captain and praising ex captain as he claimed:
"The error of Vermaelen is unwelcome. The big defenders don't make this kind of errors"
"When you give the ball to Van Persie in this situation, there are two chances on three (2/3) there is a goal."
Andre Santos was by far the flop of the match, losing the ball easily and could not cope with the searing pace of Valencia and Rafael. Frequently making simple idiotic mistakes and completely looked out of depth.
At the end of the day, Arsenal only conceded two goals and a consolation was scored by Santi Cazorla who curled the ball home in the 95th minute with a top draw strike. There are no positives to take from this result as Arsenal surely have not progressed from last season. The only difference was that United's attack was not as influential and they wasted chance after chance else Arsenal's performance deserved another 8-2.

Prerequisite: None
Fern Halper, Ph.D.
VP and Sr. Research Director
While many "new" technologies have been around for decades, the combination of readily available compute power, platforms, and organizational willingness to analyze and utilize data is creating an analytics renaissance. Many organizations now realize that to be competitive, they need to be proactive in their analytics strategy. This includes deploying advanced technologies such as machine learning and AI as part of an ever-expanding analytics ecosystem. TDWI repeatedly sees that those organizations using sophisticated analytics are more likely to measure business impact than those who do not.
In this session, TDWI Vice President Fern Halper will bring many of the case studies presented in the conference together. Drawing from her recent research, she will discuss what early adopters are doing with advanced analytics such as machine learning and what drives success. She will also explore what's coming down the pike and best practices to prepare for these changes.

Elephant tusk poaching
It is like Africa is selling her soul. Perhaps even in my lifetime the big five in the wild would have shrunken to the big three and tourists will have to visit continents who value them, like Australia, if they want to see the other big two roaming free.
In the picture above, every two tusks represent a dead animal. Many who have been killed in a cruel way. Many mother died leaving their young behind to fend for themselves.

Teri Hatcher Teases Supergirl Costume with New Photo
Teri Hatcher is going super for "Supergirl." On her Twitter, she posted a photo teasing the costume she'll wear in The CW series. The CW has yet to officially announce what role Hatcher will play, but the costume — and an offhand comment from another one of the series' latest recruits, Kevin Sorbo — has opened the door for speculation about the roles the two will play.
Well I'm definitely gettin some love in the wardrobe room @TheCWSupergirl. Can't think of a more fun place to be. pic.twitter.com/OuARTEKuyk
— Teri Hatcher (@HatchingChange) February 15, 2017
Last week, Kevin Sorbo — who was recently cast to appear in "Supergirl" along with Hatcher — offered a few spoilery details about the nature of his role in the series, admitting that Hatcher will play his wife and that the two are from a planet that is an arch-rival to Krypton. This has led some to believe that Hatcher and Sorbo will be playing the king and queen of Daxam.
RELATED: Supergirl Featured the First Appearance of Young Lex Luthor
In The CW's "Supergirl," Daxam was Krypton's neighboring planet up until the latter world exploded. The destruction of Krypton bathed Daxam with lethal radiation, killing its inhabitants and rendering the planet a wasteland. One of the series' characters, Mon-El (Chris Wood), is considered to be the last living Daxamite.
The show has alluded to Mon-El's royal origins, and — if Hatcher and Sorbo are actually the king and queen of Daxam — it's not unreasonable that they would be looking for their son.
Starring Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, "Supergirl" airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on The CW. The series also stars David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott and features appearances by Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant as well as Tyler Hoechlin's Superman.

Recommended Code of Practice For the
Care and Handling of Farm Animals
Farmed Deer – the Codes of Practice
The Codes of Practice are nationally developed guidelines for the care and handling of different species of farm animals. Codes are not intended to be used as production manuals; instead, the Codes are designed to be used as an educational tool in the promotion of acceptable management and welfare practices. The Codes contain recommendations to assist farmers and others in the agriculture and food sector to compare and improve their own management practices.
The Recommended Code For Farmed Deer
The Canadian deer industry recognizes the need for a national Code of Practice which addresses issues of animal welfare in balance with normal management practices. This Code was initiated by the deer industry with a review of Codes of Practice and publications from a variety of Canadian and international sources. The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada were then approached by the Canadian Venison Council and a Review Committee was selected to provide further input and develop the code.
Deer, including wapiti (North American elk), have been raised commercially in Canada for over 25 years. Historically, this has been on a small scale. However, the industry has grown significantly in the last decade as farmers seek new, economically viable and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional agriculture.
- Species and numbers of farmed deer vary from province to province. Wapiti, red deer and fallow deer are currently considered most adaptable to farming in the Canadian environment. Deer are farmed principally for the sale of live animals, venison (meat) and velvet antler. Deer are adapted behaviourally and physiologically to regional environments. Temperate and arctic species have strong annual cycles of reproduction and metabolism which are synchronized by photoperiod (day length). These adaptations allow deer to survive winter hardships and capitalize on the brief pulse of vegetation growth.
This factsheet only highlights a small amount of the information found in the complete Recommended Code of Practice for farmed deer.
A copy of the complete recommended Code of Practice can be obtained from your local commodity organization or provincial agricultural office.
Highlights From the Recommended Code of Practice For
the Care and Handling of Farmed Deer
Section 2: Producers
Producer's skills and responsibilities:
- Persons working with deer must understand and accept responsibility for the welfare of deer under their care. Employers have an obligation to train employees properly on humane handling, equipment use and livestock care and to ensure that employees follow those principles at all times.
- Prior to assignment of duties, personnel must be adequately instructed on the basic seasonal needs of the deer under their care according to species, gender and age. A working knowledge of the behaviour of deer combined with adequate facilities are necessary to ensure safe handling.
Section 3: Animal Considerations
- Feeds used for conventional ruminant livestock are generally suitable for red deer, wapiti and fallow deer. Moose, reindeer, white-tailed and mule deer may require specialized diets. Deer may have different requirements for minerals such as copper, selenium or cobalt than those of sheep and cattle. These requirements may differ among deer species.
- Deer decrease food intake and metabolic activity during winter and should be in good condition before winter. Good quality balanced rations (grains, pellets or stored forage) should be provided during the winter. As intake declines, demands for high-energy feeds increase. Conversely, there are dangers of overfeeding.
- When feeding baled forage, twine and wrap must be removed to avoid illness or death from ingestion or injury from entanglement.
- Deer are typically raised outdoors on native or seeded pastures.
- Animals on pasture must have access to a sufficient quantity and quality of feed and water. Required salt and minerals should be available.
- Animals on pasture should have access to natural or artificial shelters for protection against adverse weather conditions.
- Deer should be handled quietly, with care and patience. Familiarization of deer with handling facilities and management routine from an early age reduces apprehension.
- Many issues are related to the use of dogs to control deer. Deer that are unfamiliar with dogs may stampede into fences. Wapiti and even red deer can be dangerous to dogs. Although dogs may protect smaller deer such as fallow deer from predation, habituation of deer may reduce their natural wariness and aggressiveness against predators. If used, a dog must be well trained and experienced with deer and kept under strict control.
- Disturbance of breeding groups during the rut should be minimized.
- Males of larger subspecies and hybrids should not be bred to females which are significantly smaller and which have not successfully reared at least one offspring.
- Females should be fed so that they are in optimal body condition just before breeding. Dietary demands are generally low during early pregnancy but increase significantly in the last stages of gestation and almost double during lactation.
Section 4: Natural Mating Systems
Wapiti, red deer and fallow deer use a harem mating system in which dominant males control groups of several to over 20 females. In some situations, fallow deer may use a lek system – males compete on a central display arena. In the wild, moose, white-tailed deer and mule deer males rove widely during the rut, tending and breeding females in sequence.
Delivery and neonatal care:
- Pregnant animals should be familiarized with their birthing areas several weeks prior to delivery. Pastures should be well supplied with quality forage, water and shelter from intense sunlight and inclement weather. Birthing areas should be away from potential disturbances but close to facilities. Unobtrusive surveillance should be made several times daily by a familiar individual.
- A dam that has been assisted or disturbed during birth may abandon her new-born. A contingency plan for artificial rearing must be in place.
- Newborns must consume colostrum within 12 hours to obtain nutrients and antibodies which are critical for survival. Hand-reared young should have access to palatable feed, fresh roughage and clean fresh water.
Herd Health Care:
- Animals and facilities should be inspected regularly.
- A comprehensive herd-health program should be developed in consultation with a veterinarian.
- Injured and sick animals should be treated promptly, or if untreatable, humanely destroyed.
Section 5 : Transportation
Persons handling or transporting deer should be properly instructed and knowledgeable about deer behaviour and welfare and must comply with the regulations of the Health of Animals Act.
All codes are presently developed by a review committee made up of representatives from farm groups, animal welfare groups, veterinarians, animal scientists, federal and provincial governments, related agricultural sectors and interested individuals. The following are some of the individuals that provided input at various stages in the drafting of this code.
- Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
- Canadian Council on Animal Care
- Canadian Federation of Humane Societies
- Canadian Meat Council
- Canadian Veterinary Medical Association
- Canadian Venison Council
- University of Alberta
In 1995, the Canadian Agri-Food Research Council (CARC) and its Canada Committee on Animals and its Expert Committee on Farm Animal Welfare and Behaviour, took the lead, along with the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies in updating existing codes and developing new commodity codes.
Further information on the process of Code Development can be obtained from the Canadian Agri-Food Research Council (CARC), Building No. 60, Heritage House, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C6
Request for copies of the Codes can be addressed to the national commodity group and/or specific provincial organizations.
This factsheet was prepared by Penny Lawlis, Animal Care Inspector, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and reviewed by the Code of Practice Committee. This factsheet has been printed and distributed with the financial support of your provincial agricultural ministry.
Since February 26, 1999
