Ironside's Notes on Selected Books Ironside's Notes
Verses 1-23
Chapter 8
The Light Of The Future Shining On The Present Path
The value of the study of future prophecy is strikingly displayed in this chapter, where we find God, through His servant, drawing back the veil that hides the coming glory, in order that His people may comprehend in some measure their hope, that their present path may be in accordance therewith.
It would perhaps have been better had there been no break between this portion and that which we have just had before us, as it all seems to be part of Jehovah's answer to the inquirers regarding the propriety of observing the fast-day of the fifth month.
Verses 1 to 8 form a lovely millennial picture, describing the conditions which will prevail when "Jerusalem shall be called, A city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The holy mountain." Because of their idolatrous ways the Lord had been "jealous for Zion with a great jealousy," and with great wrath had delivered Judah into the hands of their enemies, that they might learn in the strangers' land the folly of trusting in graven images and sacrificing to the demons behind the symbols (ver. 2). Their sojourn in Babylon had cured them of this for the time, though our Lord Jesus showed that they were but as a house empty, swept and garnished, to which the unclean spirit who had gone out will yet return, bringing with him seven demons worse than himself. This will be fulfilled when idolatry of a worse kind than ever before is established among them-even the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
But all this is passed over here, for it is God's purpose that is before us, not the people's failure. Nothing is plainer than that the latter half of verse 3 never could have been properly applied to Jerusalem and Mount Zion since the return from Babylon. Yet it is there intimately connected with the first part, "I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem." All the succeeding failure, even to the rejection of Messiah Himself and their consequent dispersion, is passed over in silence, and the future glorious estate of Jerusalem is linked up with the remnant then in the land. Only when the Lord has been manifested in power will the words that follow be fulfilled. Then shall there be old men and aged women dwelling in the restored city, while "the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof" (vers. 4, 5). The street is now the place of danger. Then the children can play therein with perfect safety. It is a sweet and touching thing thus to see how the Eternal God concerns Himself even about the innocent pastimes of the little ones. It might be well if some parents who are prone to a more than Puritanic legality pondered this 5th verse; for I fear that the boys and girls are often made to feel that their simple pleasures are, if not displeasing to Him, at least unprofitable and vain.
The accomplishment of what has here been outlined must be marvelous indeed in the eyes of puny man; but it is but a small thing with Him who hurled worlds into space, and directs the movements of the minutest of His creatures. His omnipotent Hand shall surely perform what His mouth has spoken. But that a future return from among the nations was before His mind is evidenced by what follows: "Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country; and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness" (vers. 7, 8). This is the universal testimony of the prophets. The restoration from Babylon was but temporary, in order that what had been written concerning Messiah might be fulfilled. He having been cut off, they who refused Him were driven forth into all the ends of the earth. From thence, in God's appointed time, they shall return again to that country, which is still to them "the land of promise," where all that the prophets have spoken shall come to pass.
In verse 9 the practical application is pressed home. In view of the glory that is coming, the hands may well be strong. What need to be downcast and discouraged with such a portion assured us in Christ? So the people were urged to labor and hope, cheered by the promises of rich reward. God was caring for their interests. He would have them in earnest as to His. When Haggai was first raised up to speak to them, famine threatened, and disappointment clouded all their sky. But when they willingly and cheerfully gave themselves to the work of building His house, He had declared, "From this day will I bless you" (Haggai 1:9-11; Haggai 2:18, Haggai 2:19). He had been as good as His word, and would still watch over them for blessing, giving prosperity and increase while they "put first things first," making His glory their object (vers. 10-12).
But in all these promises it is plain that God has something more before Him than the little company then returned. He was looking on to fulness of blessing in the Millennium. Hence He declares that Israel, once a curse among the nations, shall be saved and made a blessing, according to His oath to Abraham. This was not true in any large measure, nor for long, of the actual company, or their descendants, to whom Zechariah spoke; for in less than six hundred years later we hear the Holy Spirit declaring that through them the name of God was blasphemed among the Gentiles (Romans 2:24). And so it has been ever since. But God's Word abides nevertheless, and in a future remnant every promise shall be made good (ver. 13).
The Lord had no delight in afflicting His people; but their fathers had provoked Him to wrath. Let their children take heed to their ways therefore, and obey His voice, and all would be well. "These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord" (vers. 16, 17).
Practical righteousness and true morality are the same in all dispensations. Christians may well challenge their hearts as we read these verses and note what is abhorrent in God's sight. Truth, and judgment according to truth: in these He delights. Evil surmisings (a most fruitful source of trouble in all ages) and false oaths: these He hates. May we have grace given to cleave to the former and refuse the latter!
The question as to the fasts (chap. 7:3) is again reverted to in verses 18, 19. Those of the fifth and seventh months we have already noticed. That of the fourth month commemorated the taking of Jerusalem, while that of the tenth called to mind the beginning of its siege. If the restored residue sought to walk with God, truly judging the past, these fasts would be transformed into cheerful feasts. "Therefore love the truth and peace," they were told. Notice that truth comes first, then peace; as in 2 Timothy 2:22 believers are called upon in a day of confusion and distraction to follow righteousness first of all. Then faith, love and peace would rightly follow.
The chapter concludes by portraying the happy spiritual conditions which will prevail in the day that Messiah's kingdom is established. It shall be no matter of hardship or cold, formal obedience to come together in a solemn assembly before Jehovah when Israel shall be a regenerated and sanctified people. Each city shall then vie with the other in "provoking unto love and to good works," saying one to another, "Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also" (vers. 20, 21). His service will then be their joy and delight. The 122d Psalm will be fulfilled, and the voices of the restored remnant will sing with exultation, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." It is ever thus when Christ Himself is before the soul. The gatherings of the children of God become in very deed as foretastes of heaven when He is to His own the altogether lovely. There are no dry, listless meetings then; but every heart thrills with a joy not earthly as He fills the vision of the enraptured soul. If right with God, there would ever be this holy freshness and fervent longing for His presence. But when permitted sin has been allowed to do its deadly work unjudged, the Holy Spirit is grieved, Christ is hidden, and what would have been a delight becomes a weariness of the flesh. When the saints of God are enjoying Christ, others are attracted to Him and to them. So, when Israel shall be gathered round Himself, dwelling under His shadow, and happy in His love, there will be a great stirring of heart among the spared of the nations who will not have been destroyed when the stone falls from heaven- "Many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord." The Jew, so long despised and hated, will be looked upon as the ambassador of the Lord, and ten men of all languages shall cleave to one who is of Judah, saying, "We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you" (vers. 22, 23). It is impossible, by any principle of honest interpretation, to make these words fit any revival of the past or present. They apply only to the day when Jerusalem shall be the spiritual metropolis of the whole earth, and when the name of Jew, so often used in contempt and derision, will proclaim one who is truly a son of praise,36 joyfully worshiping the Lord of hosts as he stands upon redemption ground. Then indeed shall all the nations know that "salvation is of the Jews."
But that there is a spiritual application, I have already pointed out. When the people of God, in any age, are going on in happy fellowship with their Lord and Saviour, the unsaved will be attracted to Him, and will be found seeking out His disciples, saying, "We would see Jesus."

I love looking at photos and videos of old-fashioned carnivals. The whimsical imagery from this 1966 8mm home video (titled "A day at the Alaska Circus" on YouYube) fills me with joy.
The video features footage of a tightrope walker, clowns goofing around, rides, and other carnival events. The colors in this Kodachrome 8mm film are also sublime and gives the video a surreal feeling.
Does anyone know which fair or carnival this is?

Last weekend, we went to Rome to see the sights.
Lyn had booked accommodation at an apartment (via Airbnb) in the university area of Rome, close to public transport and an easy walk from the main train station (Rome Termini).
Lyn finished school early and we caught the fast-train out of Firenze SMN at 2pm. An hour and a half later, we were there! The train travelled at around 250km/hr with no stops between Florence and Rome and it was as smooth as silk - smoother than an airplane. I took this snapshot of the speed using my iPhone Dashboard app while we were still speeding up!
We caught Tram No. 3 (about 200m from the B&B) and it took us around the SW sector of Rome, through San Lorenzo, past the Colosseum out to a Metro stop called Piramide.
Why it is called Piramide - because there is a 38m high stone pyramid sitting there on the side of one of the major thoroughfares!
- brads (small nails)
- wooden handles
- tarlatan (used for wiping etching plates - sort of like cheesecloth)
- rubber sponge about 3cm thick
- felt
- cotton wool
- leather (left over from when he killed his cow for the bulino cushions)
- large piece of wood to cut circles from
- long screws, washers and bolts
Manuel laying out the supplies |
The leather |
Frederico and Tony cutting out the circles |
Starting to glue it all together |
The sandwich |
Starting to put it all together |
How will we end up with this? |
Everyone working hard |
Yuta had to help Ben before he threw his through the window |
Ignacio and Tony have three hands each |
Ignacio and Tony worked out how to do it pretty quickly |
Giulia and Clara have four hands each |
How do we nail this together? |
Success! |
More success! |
Lucia finishes hers! |
My beautiful tampone!! |
First proof |
Second proof after some additions |
Final proof, have to do an edition soon |
First proof is just line etching (aquaforte) |
Second proof is when I did too much aquatint! |
I burnished back the aquatint and used a thinner ink (I added some oil to my sepia ink) |

Note, the format of my Short and Sweet reviews differs in that they simply comprise the book blurb and a short response (hence, the short and sweet).
As I started reading this I was struck by a sense of familiarity as writer Rachael Weiss described Prague. Had I read something like this before? The penny dropped when I realised that I had read one of Weiss' earlier memoirs, me, Myself & Praugue. Here's the blurb:
When Rachael Weiss left a good job, Thelma the cat and a normal life in Sydney for the romantic dream of being a writer in Prague she intended to stay forever. She lasted just three years, exasperated by the eccentricities of her ancestral city and the mind-boggling bureaucracy and customs of a country that values beer and potatoes above everything else. In this surprising and generous memoir full of warmth and unstoppable sociability, Rachael attempts to write her great novel, buy an apartment (any apartment!), dodge unscrupulous employers, and perhaps find love. She gets lost in the woods with a Kyrgyzstani software engineer who wants to eat humans, finds herself leading services at the Spanish synagogue with no real idea of what she was doing and spends long nights drinking beer with a colourful cast of crazy, warm and slightly mad locals and expats. Rich in absurdities and gentle humour, The Thing About Prague is rife with insight, culture clashes, friendships and above all charm.
Here are some snippets – this one's on moving to Prague:
'I'd like to say that my decision to move to Prague permanently was based on something grand and noble – a desire to trace my roots, a sense of adventure, my literary heart yearning to burst into flower in the sweet soil of Old Europe – but I can't. The truth is that I had nothing better to do.'
On friends:
Making friends is like dating. In this instance I was the keener party. Well, I was pretty much always the keener party, except among expats, owing to my lack of friends. (p73)
On real estate agents:
…I began to think that in fact it was just that they didn't really get the concept of selling, even twenty years after the fall of communism. It just didn't seem to matter to them whether they sold or not. And when they did turn up, it didn't appear as though their clients cared if they sold or not either. Time after time in these dreadful manky places I found myself wondering why they'd not even gone to the trouble of scrubbing the stains off the wall, let alone putting a bulb in the empty lighting sockets. (p84)
The idea of moving overseas to Europe often sound so looks so romantic. The descriptions of the food, the people and landscape act as a sort of rose-coloured filter, making it easy to brush away or laugh off the inevitable paperwork and language difficulties (which, let's face it, are usually pretty funny). Weiss' latest memoir is certainly entertaining, especially as she struggles to communicate in a difficult-to-learn languauge, but makes it clear – moving to Prague is not easy. Finding a job that doesn't involve teaching English for low pay is not easy. Buying an apartment is not easy. But despite the difficulties, Weiss never loses sight of the eccentric charm that called her to Prague. Her story is told with self-deprecating humour, a knack for spinning out a story, and plenty of insight. It made me want to visit Prague … but perhaps not live there.
One for travel memoir lovers, anyone who wants to or has been to Prague, or anyone considering packing it all in for a new life in another country.

Fly Film Festival
Background: The FLY Film Festival came to amshot with an older site that was somewhat outdated. Their logo is brightly colored and whimsical.
Client needed: An updated, modern site with a nice scheduling module for relevant dates. As a sponsor-funded operation, providing significant real estate on the site for donors is important.
What we came up with: A greyscale site with pops of bright colors found in their logo. The color scheme ensured that the site was not overwhelmingly colorful, but still captured the festival's vibrant personality.
The Home page features the festival's most crucial pieces of information front and center: the festival dates and location. We also purchased a special plugin that easily allows site admins to post a clean, professional schedule of films. Large sponsor logos are featured at the bottom of the page.

Wearing: J.O.A. Dress / Ted Baker Sneakers / Le Specs Sunglasses / Kooba Bag
Challenge Task: Wear a Pencil Dress
Pencil Dresses are classy and elegant. For the most part. However, you can play around with them to make them look more sporty or casual as I've done above. They can be sheath style (structured fabric, holding its shape) or stretchy/sweater-dress style. The key is to have a straight silloughete without any flare to the skirt (unlike Day 1 of this challenge). Find a style that hugs your figure or wear something that hides your curves. Show us your choice for Day 4 of the Dress Challenge in our Facebook Group!

About a year and a half ago, bored to death with every other workout I'd tried, I decided to start lifting weights. I was inspired by my friend Casey Johnston, who writes a very good advice column on lifting called Ask a Swole Woman, and paid 20 bucks for a day pass to her gym so she would show me what to do. I've been back three times a week almost every week since. I started working with a trainer named Hans six months ago and my progress skyrocketed. Here are just some of the things I can do: deadlift 235 pounds; squat 170 pounds; bench press 110 pounds; flip a 450-pound tire.
Until I started lifting, the primary motivation behind my exercise was to stay as thin as possible. To work out was, inherently, to suffer: I ran, I did the elliptical, I did SoulCycle — anything that would tell me how many calories I burned. While I enjoyed the way I felt afterward, I rarely enjoyed the exercise itself. Until lifting.
Lifting is slow, careful, deliberate. Lifting comes with lots of breaks between sets. With lifting, I can see myself getting better month to month, if not week to week. I never became a faster runner, or better at SoulCycle, if that's even possible. I just got through it, grateful to be done until the next day.
Lifting has made me tougher. It has also, in tandem with eating the amount of food I need to get stronger, led me to gain about 20 pounds and two clothing sizes. Most of the time I feel good about this. But not always.
Partly in an attempt to reshape my own ideas about strength and beauty, I have followed a number of women powerlifters on Instagram. My favorite, Liefia Ingalls, is literally the World's Strongest Woman in the middle weight class (2018), and the Strongest Woman in the World in the middle weight class (2018). You probably didn't even know those are two different things. I talked with Liefia about strength, beauty, and powerlifting just after she set a world record (well, two) in the latter, at the Arnold Pro Strongwoman event in Columbus, Ohio.
What got you interested in lifting heavy?
I started training because I felt pressure to be prettier, or skinnier, or somehow made better by being more fit. I didn't have a very good image of myself. I had the same body-image issues that I think a lot of women are familiar with. But when I started working out, I realized I liked the way it felt to lift heavy, and I liked to see myself getting stronger, and of all the things I was doing in the gym, lifting was what I actually enjoyed. I started to care more about that, the enjoyment of it, than the results I was trying to get.
When you started and focused on heavy lifting in particular, did you have any apprehension about it being, like, a guy thing? I think seeing the weight areas at various gyms, and how male they always seemed to be, kept me away.
I definitely felt that. In the early years of my training, I think that was honestly the big thing that kept me from doing it more regularly. I mostly always went to the gym by myself, and going to a commercial-type gym, where it's all women over on cardio machines and the weight room is all guys, and they all look big and scary — you just don't want to deal with it. I think a big thing that helped me get over that was changing the environment. There's a huge difference between working out in a local gym versus a smaller, private gym. When I decided I wanted to get serious about training, I joined a CrossFit gym, and CrossFit was a lot more conducive to that.
Another assumption that's been challenging for me is having always thought of exercise as something that should make me smaller, whereas with lifting, I've gained weight. I've gotten bigger because I'm stronger. Was it hard for you to retrain your own thinking around that?
One misconception I deal with, especially as a trainer, is this perception that if you want to lose weight and get smaller, that's incompatible with getting strong. In the beginning, that is what happened to me. Even when I focused on getting stronger, for quite a while I still lost weight. There's a long shift that happens, especially for women. You do eventually get to the point where you want to be stronger and more capable, and that involves adding mass, but that's usually pretty deep down the tunnel. By the time I got to that point, I was fully invested in the outcome of the process rather than the physical outcome — what my body could do, and what its function was, more than what it looked like.
Have you found that your idea of what looks good, physically, has shifted too?
Yeah, absolutely. Now when I see the images of bodies like that, I understand the look and effort and consistency involved to make that body. It becomes an art in itself. I don't just see the aesthetic of a body, I see the function. Twenty years ago I probably would have been like, "No way. That's too muscular. I don't want to look like that," because at one time, I didn't. If I'm also really honest, sometimes I'm like, This is a weird body I have. I can't believe it's changed so much. Do I want to look this way? But it's also not really a concern anymore. My body looks this way because that's what it needs to look like in order to do the things I want it to do, so that's okay with me.
Heavy lifting also feels like something that can be a healthier, long-term fitness project in a way that heavy cardio or perpetually trying to lose weight can't, at least for me.
There's a lot of misconceptions about lifting and strength training being bad for you: You're going to get hurt, or your body's not going to be in good shape. Poor lifting is bad for you, but strength training is fantastic for you.
Being strong does take a lot of time and accumulation. By what I'm doing I'm investing in myself. A lot of my incentive has become making myself into more, rather than less. I hear that a lot, especially with women [who've been taught to] be less, be skinnier, be smaller, blend in better. Lifting has taught me a lot about myself, but I think the biggest one is that it shapes my relationship with my body, changing it from being a package to being a tool, and realizing that tool will change shape as you change its function.
What you said about changing goals really resonates with me, because I never would've thought I'd care how much I could deadlift, and now I have this really strong desire to be able to deadlift 300 pounds sometime this year, and that's actually possible.
That was huge for me too. Before lifting, there are so many things I would have said were not for me. I'm not an athlete, I'm not smart enough to do this, or I'm not rich enough to do that. It's taking something I previously thought to be impossible and making it something I can physically do. Once upon a time my lifetime goal was to deadlift 400 pounds, and I thought I was being reasonable. Now I deadlift 500 pounds. Going through that process of setting your own goals and breaking them apart and realizing if you keep doing this, you can do anything — that's something I never got from anything else in my life.
How do you navigate your diet, particularly when you're around other women? Like the weight aspect, the way lifters eat feels so contrary to the way women are taught to eat.
Where I'm at now, the intensity of my training is so high, and my goal is to be as big and strong as possible, so I have to actually eat a lot of food. Before, it was like, How can I get myself to eat less and not be miserable about it, now it's like, I need to be eating more, I need to be eating more. Now I find myself complaining, like, "Ugh, I can't believe I have to eat more of this food," and it's something that ten years ago I would've been like, Who could complain about having to eat more? It's all a shift in perspective.
I have my lifting friends and my non-lifting friends. [With my lifter friends], it's like, how much can we eat? But then I went to a wedding a week ago with a bunch of friends from college, and we [Liefia and her boyfriend, who also lifts] were definitely the biggest, hungriest people there. They're all nice and accepting people, I didn't feel ostracized for it or anything, but it is funny. Everybody makes a comment. Like, everyone. It's a constant reminder that you're doing something unusual.
What are some of your most recent wins?
I just came back from the Arnold Pro festival in Ohio. I didn't compete in the normal strongwoman show there, I competed in two world-record attempts. I just set a world record for 165 pound dumbbell press. I did two reps. [For context: I, Katie, can do 30, maybe 35 pounds in dumbbell press.] I co-set that record with another woman, we tied. And then I broke the record for lifting a 324-pound stone with three reps. So I set that momentarily. But then Donna Moore beat me with five reps, which is insane.
Why should more women lift heavy?
My opinion is that strength training is underutilized by all people. I don't think the issues women have with self-confidence and body image are unique to women, but obviously the way they affect us is unique to us. An inordinate amount of our self-value is tied to what we look like. There's this perception that looking a certain way defines what we're capable of, or what we're worth in society. Lifting has rearranged that relationship for me. I literally don't care what other people think of how I look, because it serves me so well.

In Chicago, Judge Milton I. Shadur is a senior district judge and something of a legend. He's very smart, and not bound by convention. So, note below his ruling that requests to admit are NOT discovery and can be served after a discovery cut-off. The excerpts below are from a column by Steve Garmisa – he too is darn near a legend, as a practicing lawyer having written for years a highly-regarded column on law for the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin.
"Two weeks after U.S. District Judge Milton I. Shadur issued a ruling that referred to "the time before Noah's flood" when he was "still in the private practice of law," Inland Mortgage Capital v. Chivas Retail Partners, No. 11 C 6482 (Jan. 24, 2012), the judge encountered what he called a "highly unusual" issue that was "perhaps even unique in this court's long tenure on the bench."
The unusual question was whether Shawn Kelly could send a request to admit McGraw-Hill Cos., under Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, after the discovery cutoff.
Discovery closed in Kelly's case against McGraw-Hill on Nov. 17, 2011 — but two months later, Kelly served defense counsel with requests to admit facts and the genuineness of documents.
Objecting, McGraw-Hill argued that Kelly's request to admit should have been served at least 30 days before the discovery cutoff.
After looking at the issue "in depth rather than in purely surface terms," Shadur concluded that "Kelly's position is right and McGraw–Hill's is wrong." Kelly v. McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. No. 10 C 4229 (N.D.Ill.) (Feb. 7, 2012)."

Expanding Across Borders: Key Considerations
Product Information Management (PIM)
Over the last few years, Product Information Management (or PIM) systems have established a crucial role in business-related flows. Through increasing demands for online products, product flows increase, which forces businesses to cope with another crucial flow: the data flow.
PIM systems provide a single place to consistently collect, manage and enrich product information, which makes it easier to distribute this information to your sales and eCommerce channels. PIM systems facilitate to deliver compelling product experiences through consistent and qualitative data management across all available channels. Consistent and qualitative data management can help you write unique, qualitative product descriptions that will provide customers with all the relevant information they need. These unique descriptions are important due to the fact that Google recognizes duplicate information and assigns websites with duplicate content a lower ranking. Providing such unique product descriptions can therefore assist in optimizing your findability on Google and is therefore crucial in your company's SEO.
Two eCommerce strategies with PIM
When your store offers an extremely wide range of products, we speak of a long tail strategy. Stores that use such a long tail strategy, particularly sell their products online. For these stores, PIM systems are extremely convenient due to the immense amount of product data. Not only is it relevant that this data is well-organized, but it is also crucial that this product information is provided to the customer in a clear and consistent way, which can be facilitated by PIM systems.
Another strategy that could be applied is the channel strategy. Within this distribution strategy, we distinguish direct sellers from indirect sellers. Direct sellers provide their products directly to (B2B-) customers, while indirect sellers pursue sales through one or more intermediaries. By adding those intermediaries to your value chain, you distribute products through more sales channels and are therefore more likely to reach a wider audience. Moreover, availability of products on multiple channels can also facilitate the customer experience.
If your eCommerce store sells products through multiple sales channels, however, the risk of providing unclear and inconsistent information increases. One sales channel may measure its products' sizes in centimeters while the other channel measures in inches. This results in inconsistent product information which may lead to dissatisfied customers. In order to make sure that customers are provided with consistent and clear information, organizations make use of PIM systems.
Writing unique and qualitative product texts
Product Information Management systems provide the ideal starting situation for writing product texts. Firstly, all the technical information like article number, series, type, and brand are offered in your PIM system. Secondly and even more importantly, all the information about and features of the product are provided in a clear and consistent way and by using this information, it is possible to write qualitative and informative product descriptions, containing all the information that your customers need to decide whether or not to buy a product.
When your store has a lot of products to offer, the process of writing unique and significant product descriptions is way too time-consuming. When your product range expands, new texts should be written, and this will again take a lot of man-hours and therefore money. Whatever strategy is applied to your business, you will always need new product descriptions. In order to save time and money, you could decide to automate the process of generating product descriptions.
Automated generation of product descriptions
For many eCommerce stores, the process of manually writing product descriptions for all their products is unfeasible. For these organizations, Powertext.ai software could be useful. Powertext is a smart online text generation platform: it uses smart algorithms to automatically generate unique and qualitative product descriptions, based on product information and characteristics extracted from PIM systems. PIM systems require you to establish all product characteristics in a consistent way, making it the perfect starting point for generating texts. Powertext uses these attributes to generate unique product texts. The smart tool is also able to generate thousands of product descriptions in an instant and in multiple languages for each product.
BCC, one of the most successful electronics retailers in the Netherlands, offers many products in different categories. The electronics store wanted to provide its products with unique descriptions to achieve a higher ranking in Google and in this way, increase the online findability of their products. With the help of Powertext.ai software, BCC is now able to provide their entire product portfolio with unique and qualitative product descriptions. The uniqueness of every product description results in a higher ranking on Google and other search engines, which could subsequently lead to a higher conversion rate.

As the deadline is fast approaching I seem to run from problem to problem on this project. Having made a brave leap from AVR studio to the GNU toolchain on OSX (because of computer problems that I already try to forget), I have been on a constant and steep learning curve this last week.
Things are finally starting to behave they way that was intended, but documentation and examples on these tools are scarce, so I have been practising a lot of trial and error along the way, and probably hit the bigger part of the "gotchas" that are out there. Just to show that this project is still alive I decided to post a screen-shot.
The VGA routine is up and running, as is the initialisation and house-keeping logic. I still need to add the the other VGA colours (solder the Red and Green signals to the VGA connector) and include the rest of the game logic. I ended up stripping it all down to individual components to make it easier to troubleshoot when things got really strange the other night.
Code and data is currently at 618 bytes, but some of that goes away when I´m done debugging. If all continues according to plan, I should be wrapping up this project with 5 minutes to spare before the deadline on Thursday.

The sooner we realize that since we live in a world where everything happens so fast and everything needs to be done right away as there is no time to wait, we need to make proper adjustments in order to keep up with the world but also to improve the quality of our life. How we feel is of utmost importance, and here, it isn't just about our feelings as such, but what and how our body speaks to us.
We can all agree that, some years ago, people started exercising much more, as an answer to spending more hours physically inactive, sitting at a desk for long periods, and that regular exercise helped a lot, but not just with our physical health and the way we look, but also done so much to us psychologically, as it helped us relieve stress. That's one aspect of living a healthier life, and the other one is, yes, you guessed it, the proper diet.
Now, it is easy to succumb to the vast offer of delicious but unhealthy meals, and one needs much patience and determination in order to follow a specific diet. Of course, eating healthy doesn't mean eating tasteless meals, far from it, and all that is just a myth, but one thing that no matter what we prefer, food-related, must do is to be much more careful about how our food is harvested, and that's our main topic.
There is no one we care more about than our children, especially when they are still young, just babies, and what better way to keep them safe and healthy than to provide organic food, the one with no pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Even when you check twice before you buy groceries for your little ones, it can contain something you missed, especially if you are not well informed, which is all the more reason why everyone should know how to tell if their baby meal is organic or not.
Price Look Up sticker can tell a lot
For those who want to buy organic products but still are not sure which one really is organic, the best thing is to check the PLU sticker because it can offer a great answer to our question. This sticker is created of numbers, and it is necessary to know what their meaning is before you decide to buy anything. Each number has a different meaning, and it maybe may look hard to learn it, but it is really not, and once you get it, you will realize how simple it is.
For those who are interested in organic meals, it is important to remember that every code for organic food needs to start with a number nine, and it usually contains five numbers. On the other hand, the code for the food that is not organic has four digits, and it never starts with the number nine. It all starts from here, meaning that when we want to get pure organic food, other types that don't start with the number nine will not meet those purposes.
The food that one should avoid has the PLU sticker with five digits, but the first number is eight, and it stands for the food that is genetically modified and, although it may look fresh on the shell, it can be a great threat to your baby's health.
Look for the certificate
Being certified means so much today, and since we already abbey and follow those "rules," there isn't any reason not to do so when it truly matters, and what better and what more important than our baby health. With this said, organic food always needs to have some certificate that proves that it is really organic, and it is impossible to forge those certificates.
Depending on where you are from, you may find different types of certificates, but since it is possible to check everything online, it is not a problem to get enough info on all of them and check if you are indeed buying what you intended.
The governments have strict laws when it comes to organic food, and no matter if some food is imported into their country, it needs to be controlled before certification. If you are still not sure what to search on the pack, it is usually some logo that is always in the visible place, so there is no need to worry about that.
The basic things to do when buying food, ever
You do not need to be a parent to follow this simple step, and that is reading the ingredients of the food you are buying. That can be useful because of many reasons, and not only when it comes to organic food. By reading the ingredients, you will learn more about the food, and you will be sure that it does not contain anything that can be harmful to your baby health.
That can be helpful in the situations when buying food from some smaller manufacturer and want to check if it is really organic because in the ingredients list need to be mentioned if there is any component that is not natural. Many of those companies still do not have the certificate, but their products are worth buying, so checking the ingredient list can help you separate them from those that are selling poor-quality food.
If you are still not sure what ingredients are not natural, search for the numbers, and if they are on the list, avoid that food because that means that there are artificial ingredients in that food.
The bottom line
All parents are different, no matter how much they follow some guides from others, but what all parents have in common is that they want to do best for their children. When it comes to the food, no matter if someone is buying organic because of the taste, because of the environment, or for some other reason, the important thing to do is to find a reliable company with high-quality food for babies.
Now, after reading this, some may find that troubling, or they may start questioning their decision, but there is no reason for that, just check babease.co and find the tasty and high-quality organic food for your baby currently on the market.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Virgil Green might be known best by some Broncos fans for his 6-yard carry against the Patriots in last year's AFC Championship Game.
That normally wouldn't be odd, except that Green plays tight end.
"I'm down for whatever," he said near the end of OTAs. "If I'm at running back, fullback, wherever. As long as I'm out on the field, I like being out there."
It makes sense that posters of Green aren't hanging on the walls of teenagers all over Colorado. A seventh-round pick out of Nevada, he has 17 catches for 132 yards in his three NFL seasons and hasn't scored a touchdown. In Peyton Manning's first year in Denver, Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen were freshly signed veterans who Manning trusted. Last year, Julius Thomas broke out and even pushed the vets to the background.
But Green has quietly carved out a much bigger role than his limited offensive production would suggest. In 2013, he played in 26.4 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, more than both Tamme (21.9) and Dreessen (13.2). Particularly notable was Green's playing time in the two games that Thomas missed, Weeks 12 and 13 against the Patriots and Chiefs respectively. Of the 170 snaps in those games, Green was on the field for 111, good for 65.3 percent. Tamme had 49 snaps and Dreessen had 12 over the same span.
By no means did Green replace Thomas' receiving numbers -- understandable, considering the wealth of proven options elsewhere -- but the fact that he took the lion's share of the snaps shows the confidence he invokes from the coaches, and just how far he's come in his three NFL seasons.
Green was drafted three rounds after Thomas in 2011 and required some grooming in his transition from the pistol offense he played in during college. Developing wasn't made easier for either player when the offseason was shortened by the lockout.
"We came in with our backs against the wall to begin with," Green said. "And we just kind of had to lean on each other to learn the offense."
Take a look at the Broncos' Wednesday practice session at Dove Valley.
Now in his fourth year, Green continues to flash more capability and comfort on the field, looking active while catching a number of passes from Manning during OTAs and minicamp. After watching his draft classmate ascend from the unknown to stardom last season, Green is eager to show how he can build on 2013.
"To see his success is only added more fuel to my fire because I feel like I'm a gifted enough athlete to do the same kind of things," Green said of Thomas.
A gifted athlete Green certainly is, and his body style seems a bit different than most tight ends. His measureables are similar to those of Thomas, but Green appears less lanky and surprisingly compact, seemingly without an ounce of fat on his body.
Perhaps the leaner, stouter body type promotes his jack-of-all-trades ability. Most of Green's snaps still come at tight end, but he also played 55.4 percent of Denver's special teams plays in 2013 and functions as the team's fullback when needed, in addition to the occasional foray at running back.
"Each year I try to teach myself something new and different every year and master it," he said. "So that's just the point where I'm getting to: I have everything learned, so now I'm just trying to master all those things."
It remains to be seen whether or not his production on offense will grow, as Manning's collection of weapons is perhaps even deeper than it was last year. The team's propensity for three-receiver sets and Thomas' continued development won't make it any easier for Green to see the ball either. But Green is clearly becoming a more reliable receiver, showing sure hands and focusing on adapting his routes to opposing defenses.
"Peyton expects things to be done a certain way against certain coverages, so you just have to learn those things and respond at a quick pace," he said.
Even if there aren't more throws available to come his way, his multi-tool skillset should ensure he'll be on the field often once again.
"(In college) coach always preached to the eleven guys, 'Do your part,'" Green said. "And that's just how I figure my role is. Just do my part."

Ok now that everything but Spidey is under one umbrella I think Marvel can do themselves and US a huge favor by taking an Endgame-esq attempt at making a setup for a Secret Wars movie.
Follow me on this one....
So right now a proper reboot of Fantastic 4 would be perfect and, most likely, well written.
And with how abysmal the last X-Men movie was (and New Mutants was a disappointment too) maybe a fix/reboot of X-Men.
Once that's completed and the mutant universe is officially part of the Marvel/Disney empire, introduce new actors for certain roles and expand the MCU now they would set everything up for Secret Wars two-movie finale like they did with Infinity War/Endgame.
With the majority of players who were in the ORIGINAL comic storyline (like Avengers, Spider-Man, 3 of the Fantastic 4, X-Men (with Magneto!) and possibly Venom too if they can work it out with Sony again.

The Best Gaming Apps Of 2016

Pokemon Go
It's really hard to call Pokemon Go anything but an utter revolution in mobile gaming. There's nothing complex about it, really - it's built on the backbone of another game, and the actual mechanics are really simple. However, the ease of play and the clean design really work for this free-to-play marvel. You never have to spend a cent when you play, yet you'll likely find yourself spending way too much time and energy with this app if you download it. It's been a long time since there was an app that captured the imagination quite like this one.
Futurama: Game of Drones
Matching games have always been a huge part of the mobile space. They're relatively easy to make and monetize, so company after company has come out with them. Futurama takes the crown this year because of the spectacular writing that's behind it. While the levels aren't particularly inspired, everything that surrounds them oozes charm. If you were a fan of the original show, you'll love the app. Even if you're not, you'll get a few good chuckles and be forced to admit that it's at least as good as all of the other Match 3/Match 4 games on the market.
Monument Valley
This puzzle game is out of this world, especially when it comes to style. Again, this isn't a particularly complex game, but it does make the most of the smartphone's size and graphical fidelity. You guide a princess through a series of increasingly hard puzzles, and each brings with it its own mind-bending rules. This game is a great example of how style can really add to substance, and a good example of how games on smartphones don't have to adhere to easy categories. If you love games, this is one you must try.

It's about 8:30 AM and you have been unable to get me out of your head, much less satisfy yourself enough to relieve the persistent hard on in your jeans. Knowing that you will have some free time this afternoon, you send me an email, asking me if I can get away to see you for a much needed rendezvous.
I check my email around 9, and since it's Sunday, I make plans to "go shopping" and return your email, telling you that I will meet you as you request.
The weather is nice, and since we want to try something new, we decide that I will park at the mall and you will meet me there and drive me somewhere interesting for our session.
When you arrive, you pull up next to my car and I get in. I greet you with a hello and a kiss and slide over next to you in the seat.
You put your arm over my shoulders and begin to drive. I have not seen you for a while and I am anxious to see just how excited you are to see me. I reach down and rub your crotch firmly, telling you how much I missed you and your lovely cock while you were away. You agree that it has been too long, and adjust yourself in the seat a bit so I can get better access to your cock as you drive. After teasing you a bit through your jeans, you are surprised and pleased when I begin to try to unzip you and bring your cock out for my enjoyment as you drive. We are stopped at an intersection, so you help me finish undoing your belt and zipper, and finally getting your stiffening member completely free of your clothing.
With the truck in motion again, and not caring if the passing traffic can see what I'm doing, I begin ensest porno to softly stroke you with my hand, just firmly enough to make you want me to apply more pressure. Now, I make myself comfortable in the seat, and lean over to gently kiss the head of your cock. Taking my time, I move down the shaft to your balls, kissing and lightly nibbling you with my lips along the way. You sigh and grip the steering wheel more tightly as I take your balls into my mouth, swirling my tongue over them and sucking them softly, even though I can tell you are ready for much more aggressive handling.
Re-tracing my route, I return to the head of your amazing cock. When I get there, I use my tongue to draw a line around the base of the head several times, still teasing you with the anticipation of actually getting inside where you really want to be. I continue this sensual torment, rubbing you against my face and moaning softly to myself as I too, get excited performing this activity for you. Finally not able to stand the teasing any more, you tell me to take you inside me and suck you like a nasty slut should.
Smiling to myself at your tortured impatience, I finally part my lips and slide them slowly over you until they touch the base of you.
I love the feeling of having you inside me this way, and take a moment to enjoy it before closing my lips more tightly around you and beginning to stroke my mouth up and down over your now raging hard on. Working intently now, I vary the suction and pressure as I pleasure you, enjoying the way it makes you squirm in your escort porno seat, trying to enjoy it and still concentrate on driving.
I haven't been paying attention to where we are going as I have immersed myself in the joy of pleasing you, but I now notice that we have stopped and parked. You kill the engine and now use your hands to hold my hair, not only to control my cocksucking a bit, but also so you can see my mouth as it pleasures your cock.
I pull my shirt up now, revealing for the first time that I have not worn a bra today, and you reach over to caress my breasts and pinch my nipples firmly, making me gasp and moan on your cock. I am wearing shorts, and now reach up the leg of them, rubbing my clit as you watch.
Still holding onto my hair, I feel you begin to tense and breathe more heavily as you feel your orgasm building.
Moaning more passionately now as my encouragement for you to cum for me, I suck you harder, wanting to taste you on my tongue. Finally, after holding out as long as you can, your hips surge toward me and your fingers clamp down in my hair. I feel your cock swell and explode, sending jets of your hot load into my still sucking mouth, completing my desire to please you this way.
I have been playing with myself all along, and now I move around in the seat so I can remove my shorts and panties.
At your direction, I lean against the passenger door and spread my legs for you, putting one leg on the floor and the other over the seat. You tell me to reach up and hold onto the "Oh my God" handle over the gizli çekim porno passenger window and not let go of it unless you let me. I nod my understanding as you position yourself so you can lick my dripping snatch. You begin slowly and gently, returning the agonizing teasing that I gave you earlier. I moan and arch my hips toward you, wordlessly begging you for more intense attention, knowing that you will make me wait as long as possible to finish, making sure I am frantically begging to cum before you let me.
Pausing for a moment, you reach into your bag and bring out the dildo you know I like, and insert it inside me as you resume flicking my clit with your tongue. You stroke me slowly, deeply with the dildo, making me begin to pant with lust and beg you to go faster. You continue to fuck me this way, talking to me as well, telling me that you know I want to cum for you. You find yourself thankful that you brought me to this remote spot as I begin to moan louder and scream out loud now as you gradually increase your pace inside me, hitting my g-spot over and over with the dildo. Suddenly, I ask you to let me cum and you approve as I melt into the ecstasy washing over me. As I finish, you do not stop stroking me with the dildo.. the feeling is overwhelming and it is all I can do not to take my hands from the handle above my head and pull away from you. I beg you to stop, but you don't. You fuck me just long enough to make me start to beg you to keep going. Then, you remove the dildo from me and put it to my lips, telling me to clean it for you.
The sight of me nearly naked on the front seat of your truck, cumming with abandon, has made you hard again, and now, you tell me get dressed. "We are going to get out of the truck and take a little nature walk." you tell me, and you grab your bag and a blanket, and lead me into the woods near our parking spot.

Zimbabwe's representatives at the Belgium 2020 World Choir Games, Note2etoN choir will be releasing its debut album titled Perspectives at Alliance Francaise in the capital tomorrow.
Recorded at the Zimbabwe College of Music studio and produced by Nyasha Teddy Rusike and Imbuwa Mubiana Mubu, Perspectives is an 11-track album inspired by the community and the world we live in.
According to the choir director, Sabelo Maswaure, the project offers social commentary that allows the audience to relate to each compilation on a personal level.
"Perspectives is an album viewing life through the eyes of the regular Zimbabwean through song. We sing about the strength of a woman in the home and community, the loss felt by a woman when she is abandoned by her children, the lost children of current generations – whether here in the motherland or abroad – who will never know what it means to have roots," said Note2etoN founder and director Sabelo Maswaure.
He added,"We sing of the invisible ones, the homeless, and the anguish of missing a lost loved one. We also sing the joyful song of uninhibited praise by a people that love their God, a celebration of our region – our grouping of countries that is so beautiful and full of love and warmth; we sing a wedding song from the depths of the high-density areas of the southern parts of the region. We sing pleading for our continent – our Mother and her children."
Note2etoN choir collaborated on Perspectives with various musicians including DJ Discord (formerly of Mafriq) on Mwana Asina Musha, Edith weUtonga and Rutendo "SoulDeep" Magwenzi on Mbokodo, Zimbabwe College of Music students on Musha Idongo, and Nancy NaSibo Mutize on Ivai Nesu.
The album launch will also kick-start Note2etoN's campaign and fundraising to represent Zimbabwe at the World Choir Game's 2020 edition in Flanders – Belgium.
With two World Choir Games silver medals – in the Championship and Scenic Folklore competitions – at the 2018 edition in Tshwane – South Africa, Note2etoN hopes to win more accolades at next year's competition.

Check for the following signs:
Lots of Gouges or Deep Scratches
Scratches or deep gouges can be from running around, rearranging your furniture, pets, and other factors. Deep scratches can affect the integrity of your flooring's sealant and will result from having moisture damages. Try to keep an eye out of gouges; even spills can manage to seep into the wood beneath the stain and cause serious damages. If you notice lots of deep scratches, you may have to consider having hardwood floor refinishing.
Long exposure to the sun, water damage, and other factors can cause the color of your hardwood to fade. CMS Hardwood Flooring Tinley Park can fix this by hardwood flooring refinishing. If not addressed immediately, the stain could get darker and eventually turn black, which may cost you more.
Hardwood flooring can be glossy, satin, matte, or brushed finished. However, if you notice a dull appearance in certain areas, it can create a worn-out and neglected look. Reapplying stains is not a long-term solution. The best way to fix them is through sanding and hardwood floor refinishing Tinley Park.

Your website represents your company. If your website content writing is sloppy, bloated or confusing, your brand will look sloppy, bloated and confusing — and you'll lose sales, no matter how good your products or services are.
On the other hand, great web writing can help you across the board. Your blog posts will earn more shares, your pages will earn backlinks and your site will start to earn trust the moment visitors surf on.
Why should entrepreneurs learn content writing?
Good content writing is your best employee — in fact, a Salesforce/Pardot survey found that consumers consider trust in a company's content to be 3x more important than trust in the brand's actual employees. 97% of the same survey respondents also said that bad content negatively affected their trust in a brand.

'Days Of Our Lives' Spoilers: Does New Writer Want Shocking Death?
Days of Our Lives spoilers are here, and it's being reported that the soap is going to go through some major changes. There's a few story arcs that will change once new head writer Ron Carlivati is on board and it sounds like things are going to shake up in a big way for a few characters.
Days of Our Lives fans might be concerned when they hear this change in head writer might mean that a death is on the way. According to a report by Celeb Dirty Laundry, executive producer Ken Corday let the cat out of the bag about the changes that are going to occur once Days of Our Lives has fully transitioned under the new head writer.
According to Days of Our Lives spoilers, Corday said that fans aren't happy with the direction of the show, and Corday, as well as head writer Ron Carlivati, are determined to get the show back on track. The executive producer spoke to Soap Opera Digest about the many changes to come for Days of Our Lives, and that includes the redirect in focus on some characters.
Of the decision to bring a change to Days of Our Lives, the producer said that most of it was due to the fan feedback he's listened to about some specific storylines. At the time, Corday said of the storylines, "..the stories were not the stories I wanted to see on the air or the stories that viewers wanted to see on the air." So what stories do viewers want to see on the air?
'Days of Our Lives' Spoilers: Cancellation, Chabby Break-Up Rumored For 2017 https://t.co/JbRbX3ZKb0 pic.twitter.com/q7PzpR7wpr
— WWE_News (@_WWE__News_) January 11, 2017
Days of Our Lives spoilers state that Chabby fans should be happy because even though there's a major threat of Chad and Abigail breaking up, it's said that there's going to be a major focus on them as a couple. According to the producer, they will get through their differences, and as we know with Chad feeling betrayed and turning towards Gabi, there's a lot that they will need to get through. Of the couple, the producer said, "Chad and Abby are a rooting interest for the viewers, and they're going to have to go through a lot of hurdles, but they're the end game."
As for other fan favorites Eric, Chloe, Brady, and Nicole will all have storylines that will give them some major airtime, so fans won't miss them at all. Steve and Kayla who recently reunited are also solid, too.
Days of Our Lives spoilers state that one of the major chief complaints is that the storylines have become too dark, and for the new switch Days of Our Lives is going to make sure to keep things considerably light even though they're known for having some major drama on the show, like any good soap.
That said, there might be a bit of a dark undertone as it's believed a new death is coming with the change in the direction of the show. There's a murder mystery that's gearing up in June. While Days of Our Lives' former head writer Dena Higley started this storyline, Days does intend on finishing it, but they're going to restructure the storyline. Does this mean someone's going to die on the show? We're not exactly sure, but it's teased that Deimos might be involved. We don't know whether or not DOOL is looking replace actor Vincent Irizarry in time for this line, seeing as the actor was just recently fired from the series, or Deimos might be the shocking death that rocks Salem.
'Days Of Our Lives' is saying goodbye to Deimos https://t.co/xRaDPpqney pic.twitter.com/TyIcVFOaYP
— BlastingNews (@BlastingNews) February 15, 2017
It's not surprising to hear from Days of Our Lives spoilers that the show is going to get a bit of a facelift. Their ratings haven't been stellar, and with rumors of Megyn Kelly's new talk show overcrowding the schedule, it's easy to see that Days of Our Lives staff members are doing everything not to get canceled as it was one rumored.
What do you think about the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers?

How Viruses Spread and Why Air Purifiers Can Help
What Air Filtration Systems Can Do To Reduce Virus Particles
Most viruses spread via person-to-person contact, and most often through the air (coughs, sneezes, etc.), according to the CDC. Water vapor attached to the virus particles are carried in small droplets that move in a fine mist. The main symptom of most respiratory viruses is coughing, which just further adds to the chances that the air could be contaminated with virus particles.
One of the main reliable ways to remove these virus particles from the air is to circulate all of the air in a room or enclosed space, and to do this multiple times per hour. This increases the likelihood that a filter can catch the virus particles and remove them from the total volume of the air.
Air Filtration Is Just One Part of Prevention
Air purifiers aren't the only preventive measure you can take to lower the chances of catching a virus. Keeping distance from someone thought to have a virus is necessary to lower the chances of breathing in virus particles. Also, keeping your hands clean and surfaces clean is an important part of keeping yourself safe from catching a virus. Taking one, or more of these preventive measures can drastically decrease your chances of catching an airborne virus.
Official Preventative Guidelines Given By The CDC
According to the CDC, here are the top seven ways to protect yourself from viruses every day:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
If you are interested in installing an Air Purifier in your home, please contact us on our website or give us a call.

Marcellus | E&P | NGI All News Access
Oil, Gas Operations Damaged More Than 200 Water Supplies, Pennsylvania DEP Says
Operations at oil and natural gas wells in Pennsylvania harmed water supplies more than 200 times between December 2007 and May of this year, according to data compiled by the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
According to the DEP, water supplies were damaged 209 times during the time frame, with Bradford County topping the list with 48 incidents. Susquehanna County had the second-highest number of incidents at 35, followed by McKean and Forest counties, at 24 and 17 incidents, respectively.
Other counties that had damaged water supplies from oil and gas operations included Lycoming (12 incidents), Warren (11), Tioga (10), Indiana (8) and Jefferson (7). Elsewhere, Clarion, Sullivan and Wyoming counties each had five incidents; Lawrence County had four; Butler and Potter counties each had three; Crawford, Venango, Washington and Westmoreland each had two, and Clearfield, Clinton, Erie and Fayette each had one.
The earliest incident occurred in Venango County's Oakland Township in December 2007. DEP reported 18 damaged sources of water in 2008, followed by a peak year of 47 incidents in 2009. The agency said there were 34 cases in both 2010 and 2011, 35 in 2012, 33 in 2013 and five through May of this year. Two incidents did not have a date specified.
The DEP did not disclose the names of the operators involved in the incidents or the chemicals that were detected in the water supplies.
Morgan Wagner, spokeswoman for the DEP, told NGI's Shale Daily that during the period of time covered by the impact data, drilling has commenced on more than 20,070 wells across the state. That figure includes 12,068 conventional and 8,002 unconventional wells.
"The department will be posting this information online by the end of the month and will update the public list as new determinations are made," Wagner said Tuesday. "This frequently requested information is being shared with the public in our continued effort to be as open and transparent as possible."
Patrick Creighton, spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC), said the DEP's data shows that more than 99% of the oil and gas wells drilled in Pennsylvania have had no impact on water supplies.
"We also believe that transparency and making data like this, with appropriate context, publically available is critical," Creighton said. "Our industry remains committed to working with key stakeholders, including DEP, to further protect and enhance our environment while safely producing clean-burning natural gas."
Creighton added that MSC members have certified third-parties perform baseline water sampling, often done above and beyond state requirements, before any drilling takes place.
"Given the fact that Pennsylvania does not have private well water construction standards, along with the region's unique geology with high-levels of shallow methane, these tests provide homeowners and shale producers important water quality and public health-related information," Creighton said, adding that MSC "continues to support the adoption of statewide water well construction standards, as Pennsylvania is one of only two states without such requirements."
Water issues, and their interconnection with development of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, have been at the forefront of the news in recent weeks.
Last week, a Pennsylvania appeals court ruled that the state Public Utilities Commission did not have the authority to review and challenge local zoning ordinances governing oil and gas development (see Shale Daily, July 17).
This month, Gov. Tom Corbett signed a $29.1 billion state budget that cuts more than half of the state's funding to the Delaware River Basin Commission. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission said it needs another $1 million to aid in its mission to keep the state's waterways clean (see Shale Daily, July 21; July 18).
