"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible." – Bertrand Russell
"We've got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of
economic and environmental policy."
– Timothy Wirth,
President of the UN Foundation
"Isn't the only hope for the planet that
the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
– Maurice Strong, founder of UNEP
WITH far greater frequency than a hurricane strike in the Floridas, the biggest names in the political and climate world gather at exotic locations around the globe to pretend that they are intent on "saving the planet", again. Quite simply the Oscars of virtue signalling.
YET it's (almost) set in stone that these confabs will fail their primary objective. That is, to force rich countries to quietly destroy their economies and for the poor economies, with the highest death rates, to reject energy and prosperity.
THE only resolution guaranteed by all 'parties' (excuse the pun) is where to hold the next, taxpayer-funded climate change junket.
MEANWHILE, all those taxpayer funded frequent flyer miles hurt your hip pocket and apparently the planet too. Or, maybe only when it's you doing the flying…?

Poland climatefest dumps several million tonnes of CO2 into atmosphere aiding plant growth
$500M Climate Carnival Concludes.
COP 24 just concluded in Poland. Nearly 23,000 climate saviours attended this 24th annual climate carnival.
Every year, plane-loads of concerned busybodies fly to some interesting new location to spend tax dollars on a well-fed 12 day holiday. They concoct plans to ration and tax the energy used by real workers, farmers and families back home.
Few delegates arrived by bicycle or solar-powered plane – a fleet of at least 100 commercial, private and charter aircraft brought them at a cost estimated at US$57M. When the costs of hotels, ground transport, food, entertainment, air conditioning and office services are added, the bill is likely to top $500 M.
Australian taxpayers supported 46 junketeers. Now these Chicken Littles are back home spreading climate scare stories and lecturing locals to not overspend on Christmas presents.
There is a bright side – all that carbon dioxide emitted by planes, cars, buses, heaters, stoves, beer, champagne and Poland's coal-fired power stations will help global plant growth.

Cultural Communists Know How to Spend Your Money to Fight Climate Change
One of the largest conferences of the year just wrapped up this past weekend in Katowice, Poland. And it was on everyone's favorite subject, climate change.
Yes, this is the annual conference where tens of thousands of delegates fly into a foreign town. On your tax dollars. To iron out a plan for the future of the planet.
It's called the United Nations Climate Change Conference. And this years' went under the short name of COP24 (Conference of the Parties – 24th edition).
And it was the second biggest one since the monster Paris Climate Change conference back in December 2015 (COP21 for those keeping count).
According to this official attendance list, there were 22,700 delegates from 197 countries there.
This conference was not a weekend or even a week long.
It was hosted for 12 whole days.
But first, all these people had to get to the COP24 Climate Change conference. And unfortunately, zero-emission transit was not available to get them all to Katowice.
There are no bike lanes crossing the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea.
If you think trillions of dollars over dozens and dozens of years is impossible for parties to fight climate change with their vision…
Here's how Cultural Communists Spent Nearly Half of Billion Dollars in 12 days:
These attendees took commercial, charter and private planes to get to Katowice International Airport just north of the city.
For all their green agendas, they flew the big, bulky, carbon-spewing and nature polluting airplanes.
Without every receipt, it's not easy to pinpoint how much various flight types cost. But you can bet even those travelling on commercial aircraft were not flying with the common folk.
Let's assume $2,500 per person to fly to and from Katowice, Poland.
Cost of Flights = 22,700 x $2,500 = $57 million dollars.
Thinking that the delegates like to travel together, let's be conservative and say they all flew commercial on a Boeing 747 in groups of 227. Unlikely, but it makes our napkin calculation simple.
This would require 100 planes flying in and flying out…
According to Blue Sky Model, 1 mile of flight produces about 53 pounds of carbon dioxide for the average plane.
Now sticking with simplicity, let's assume the average flight was just about the distance between New York City and Katowice – 4,283 miles. In reality, people flew from as far away as Auckland, New Zealand.
The total amount of carbon emitted = 100 planes x 4,283 miles x 53 pounds per mile x 2 trips = at least 45 million pounds of evil, harmful polluting carbon dioxide into the air.
Do as the cultural communists say, I guess. Not as they do.
And I'm being optimistic.
For reference, WIRED Magazine estimates that all the planes that flew to the Paris climate talks released about 575 million pounds of CO2.
Now let's correctly assume that politicians, dignitaries and their entourages didn't stay in Holiday Inn's or Best Westerns like the working class.
Nor would they opt for AirBnB type services for their fellow taxpayers…
And since this conference would be among the top destinations in the world at this climate change time of year, hoteliers would have increased their nightly room prices. It's Opportunism 101.
So let's allow $500 per night for hotels or private flats. Katowice and the surrounding areas aren't exactly Paris. So things are a bit more affordable.
Cost of hotels = 27,700 people x 12 nights x US $500 = $166 million dollars
Delegates then had to drive the roughly 34 kilometers (21 miles) to the city core.
Heaven forbid if these people all took the transit system. How could they possible hold a dignified image taking the subway or public buses?
So they likely hired private cars and limousines.
The rates for these vehicles goes anywhere from $500 – $1,000 per day. Let's assume some attendees followed their agendas and carpooled, thus requiring only 20,000 cars.
Cost of Transportation = 20,000 cars x $750 per day x 12 days = $180 million dollars
Let's not forget that people need to eat.
And when in Poland, you can't be eating Subway or McDonalds. How can you possibly pair a fine Bordeaux with a Big Mac?
So we have to factor in meals and entertainment.
Most attendees will have gotten a per diem for their travels. We can safely assume these costs to be anywhere from $100 – $500 per day depending on their stature.
Cost of food = 27,700 x $250 per diem x 12 days = $83 million dollars
And what about the workers who put it all together?
The average wage in Poland is just shy of $1,170 per month.
Data on workers hasn't been released yet. But at the Paris conference 3 years ago, there were 3,000 workers hired directly for the conference and about 11,000 police and military to keep the place secure.
Let's assume the same amount of security and workers were used in Poland.
And considering security forces are not cheap, let's just assume they all made double the average wage…
Cost of personnel = 14,000 x $1,170 x 2 x ½ month's work = $16.3 million dollars
Let's sum it all up…
There is a good chance I have been too conservative and underestimated some of the costs.
The cost of saving the future world for just a couple weeks was half a billion dollars. But you'll be happy to know that the official meal plan for attendees had some options for a low emission footprint, as you can see below.
Until next year's Climate Change conference in Chile…
Wait, did I not mention the pre-conference in Costa Rica?

'GREEN' Killing Fields: Wind Turbines Responsible For Massive & Unnecessary Bird SlaughterPosted: October 27, 2018 Filed under: COP24, Failed Green Schemes, Government Grants/Funding, Green Agenda, Green Energy, Hypocrisy, Unreliables, Wind Farms | Tags: bat slaughter, Bird slaughter, Climate Change, COP24, eagle slaughter, Eco-hypocrisy, Environmentalism, Global Warming, green hypocrisy, Hypocrisy, The Great Global Warming Swindle, unreliables, Wind Energy, wind energy scam, Wind Farms, wind power 1 Comment
"Bird mortality by wind turbines is such a well-established fact in wind energy circles that in 2013 a wind energy company agreed to pay $1 million in fines after the Justice Department proved it guilty in a first criminal case against a wind power company for the deaths of protected birds."
STATE-sanctioned bird and bat slaughter.
WHERE'S the outrage from 'green' and 'environmental' groups? Crickets.
Golden Eagle 'transitions' to California's wind powered future …
Renewable energy zealots didn't invent hypocrisy, but they seem quite comfortable wearing it, like their very own badge of honour.
If wind power was even close to being a meaningful power generation source, you might, just might justify the wave of environmental and societal destruction that comes with it. Abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, wind power was redundant the moment James Watt turned steam into motive force.
The wind cult, however, have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable in society; and barely bat an eyelid at the slaughter of millions upon millions of birds and bats, across the globe.
The carnage…

THE next time you are met with the fashionable climate hashtag #keepitintheground by a holier-than-thou climate warrior, calmly remind them that their iPhone, iPad and electric car is not as "sustainable" as they might have hoped for and definitely doesn't run on a planet-friendly diet of tofu and mung beans.
THEN advise them to direct their misinformed, groupthink-enabled rage at their silicone valley eco-icons – Elon Musk and Apple et al – who are digging gigantic holes in the ground too. Oh, and hiring child miners aged 4 who are living a hell on earth in the Congo mining for their Cobalt…
via The Australian
Apple fires up fight for cobalt
Apple is seeking to buy cobalt directly from mining companies amid a looming shortage of the metal, a key ingredient for the lithium-ion batteries in its iPhones and iPads.
Fearful that the boom in electric cars might put pressure on supplies, the Californian technology giant has been in discussions to secure contracts for "several thousand metric tons" of cobalt each year for at least five years, according to Bloomberg.
While smartphones use an estimated ten grams of refined cobalt, a typical electric car battery uses five to ten kilograms.
If sales of electric vehicles hit a forecast of 30 million by 2030, it will drive further explosive growth in cobalt demand, according to research for Glencore, the mining company, by CRU, a commodities analyst. It forecasts a "material" impact from demand for electric cars by as early as 2020, with an extra 24,000 tonnes needed as early as 2020, compared with about 110,000 tonnes mined globally in 2017 and an additional 314,000 tonnes by 2030.
If Apple secures its own cobalt contracts, rather than leaving it to companies that supply its batteries, it could find itself in fierce competition with carmakers for the metal.
The talks, understood to have begun more than a year ago, come after a tripling in the price of cobalt in the past 18 months, as carmakers jump into the fully electric or hybrid power business, following the likes of Toyota and Tesla. Countries including Britain and France have said that they will ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2040.
Apple declined to comment on the talks. However, Ivan Glasenberg, chief executive of Glencore, the world's biggest cobalt producer, said in December that the iPhone maker was among the companies it was talking to about cobalt, along with Tesla and Volkswagen.
Overnight (AEDT) Mr Glasenberg said that no deal had been signed. "We don't have any long-term contracts with Apple; we haven't signed anything with Apple."
He added: "We have seen the investments that motor car companies are making in electric vehicles and they will need battery supply, so the demand for electric vehicles is strong. It will require a lot of cobalt and we all know the geological scarcity of cobalt."
Mr Glasenberg noted that supply was "relatively constrained", as cobalt could not be mined like lithium, but was a by-product mainly of copper and nickel.
There are also questions about the stability of supply in the Democratic Republic of Congo after a vote last month by its parliament to raise royalties on mining. The change is designed to ensure that the country gets a bigger share of the money paid for its commodities, but it will raise costs for producers.
Mining companies are lobbying against the change, which Mr Glasenberg said would lead to under-investment. "Can the world produce as much cobalt (as) it's going to need? … What happens in the DRC is going to be very important going forward," he said.
Apple's move to secure its own supplies of cobalt comes amid a global drive to safeguard supplies of crucial metals used in electronics while reducing dependence on the DRC, which supplies two thirds of the world's cobalt but has been criticised for human rights abuses, including using child labour.
In response to criticism from human rights groups, Apple now uses only cobalt refined and smelted in China, Belgium and Finland. It will accept metal from the DRC only if it comes from mines that can prove they provide adequate health and safety protections and safeguards against child labour.
Michael Giblin, mining analyst at S & P Global Market Intelligence, said that end-users of cobalt were already looking for alternatives to the metal.
"Due to the rapid increase in the cobalt price over the last year, plus the fact that the majority of cobalt will be sourced from areas with political and social instability, battery technology is being continually evolved to reduce the reliance on cobalt.
"Conventional battery chemistries are being modified to reduce the cobalt content by increasing content of other metals such as nickel or manganese."

"It's the flavor of the season: how outraged you manage to be is proof how wrong/evil your opponent is."
"The same establishment makes a deafening racket every time there is an El Niño. In fact, climate activists actively hope for El Niño warm periods so they can hyperventilate about 'record temperatures' and advance their policy goals."
Spot-on Shub.
Excellent post demonstrating the vicious rage emanating from climate change alarmists following the recent *record* drop in global temperatures!
As usual, the Left using the 101 tactic of – "Playing the man (Breitbart/Dellers), rather than the ball (evidence)".
This is more evidence for mine that "Global Warming" aka "Climate Change" is the ultimate social(ist) issue that plays to many of the Left's elitist agendas – power, control, money, virtue and misanthropy. After all, shouldn't "Global Warming" alarmists be celebrating and cheering the *record* drop in global temps?! (albeit expected after a super El Niño).
Rather telling.

Late Season Troling Line Choice
MetroSteve posted a topic in Muskies-Musky FishingSo for all you late season big water trolling guys out there here is a question. What line should I use mono or braid? Now before you jump all over this one and give the obvious answer (mono), here are the factors: 1) Using a 9' Rod MH with Fast Action 2) 20 degree temps or lower likely 3) Line Counter reel. 4) Trolling 14" Jakes My first inclination as I said was mono, but....This rid is VERY flexible, a lot of give to it, fast action tip, which was awesome last year trolling big Jakes 14" cause when they hit rocks the rod would bend fast and the lure would pop right up. Last year I used braid 85#, but was not using a line counter reel, this year I will be. My worry with mono paired with this rod is TO MUCH give or stretch. Your thoughts and opinions most appreciated. Steve
Possible world record?
MetroSteve replied to Snag's topic in Muskies-Musky FishingThe Facts: There was a legitimate 50 lb + fish caught on November 30th by an older gentleman row trolling. He kept it. Yes it was huge. There are plenty of photo's not to mention the man's reputation to vouch for it. That is for the original post. Second, the other supposed giant fish was in fact a hoax/joke by an individual on the Musky Hunter web site. He set out to teach everyone a lesson. I am not going to say more about that. Finally, I don't have the exact info in front of me but I do believe the DNR has netted fish in excess of 60" on several occasions. Good luck getting them to say where though. I suspect that a new world record is closing in within the next few years. Several state records could probably already have been broken if the guys catching the fish had wanted to keep their catch. They didn't. In the end we can only speculate about how big these fish can get. No one really knows. Huff and puff, bluster all you want, but NO ONE knows. Blowing harder won't prove anything. I hope I catch the next world record. The state record was only 2&1/2 inches away this fall. That would be cool! Tight Lines, Steve
Where Everyone going Opening Day Spearing?
MetroSteve replied to bassNspear's topic in Bowfishing/SpearingIn the end it looks like a fundamental difference in how we use or value our resources. For some the resource is there to be consumed. This has been thoughout time the predominant, and I would say until recently, the only ethic out there. For others, and this is clearly a growing minority, the resources we have are to be enjoyed yes, but not consumed. Hence "catch and release", "leave no trace", "shoot photo's not bullets", etc. Unfortunately, as with any new and emerging ethic, there are those who will, justly or unjustly, feel threatened by it. Conversely, there will be individuals within the new ethic who feel the need to challenge the "old gaurd". (I could be said to fll into this catagory.) I am sure there is a middle ground on this issue. I will say personally I just don't like it nor do I think it qualifies as a sport, or is in any way sporting. That is just me. What I really would be interested in is a demographic survey of it's proponents and opponents. I am wondering, is spearing a form of fishing? Is Dynamite a form of fishing? Is anything designed to harvest fish a form of fishing? And its all good right? Steve
Where Everyone going Opening Day Spearing?
MetroSteve replied to bassNspear's topic in Bowfishing/SpearingNot sure why people are talking about fishing through the ice for anything when it's gonna be 60 degrees here tomorrow! Open water season continues. Hopefully it will be like last year and very little ice. Then we can fish into December! Gotta love mother nature. Steve
Where Everyone going Opening Day Spearing?
MetroSteve replied to bassNspear's topic in Bowfishing/SpearingI would never say that Musky fishing is the ONLY sport. Not even imply it. If that is what you are taking from my comments then reread them. I think there are many legitimate sports out there. Attacking my opinion won't change it. I stick by everything I said. Spearing is an archaic and out of sync pursuit, in my opinion. In all the threads I have read I see that even the most diehard spearers admit that abuses and the intentional and accidental harvet of large fish (pike, and I am sure some muskies) takes place. How can this be good for our fisheries. You have your sport, for now, but both it and the tactics you use to defend it are destined to disappear. I think, of all the points made, Jon's about ethics is probably the most solid. Unfortunately, the reason many activities get outlawed is that the ethical standards of some are so low. I also don't see where the Musky fishing community has taken up an attack on spearing. Something I personally wish they would do. But that is JUST me. Steve
MetroSteve replied to Muskiefool's topic in Muskies-Musky FishingGot it, did it. Thanks, Steve
Where Everyone going Opening Day Spearing?
MetroSteve replied to bassNspear's topic in Bowfishing/SpearingWRD, the reference to Animal Rights Activists is nothing but a smokescreen. They have nothing to do with this debate or issue. It's scare tactics like this that will only serve in the long run to undermine your position. We don't need fear based desicion making, just an objective reality check. Jon, with all due respect, once again comparing walleye harvet to spearing is in my view a misleading analogy at best. pike are not stocked for harvet, walleye are. The DNR spends more to stock walleye for target harvest than they do on any other fresh water species in the state. Bottom line is; change is hard to accept. If "sportsman" are truely concerned about preserving a sustainable fishery, spearing has to go the way of the whale hunting. Finally, I don't mean any disrespect to those of different views. These views are only my own, and are not meant to brand spear fisherman as "bad" people. Steve
Where Everyone going Opening Day Spearing?
MetroSteve replied to bassNspear's topic in Bowfishing/SpearingEarly Riser: 1: Two wrongs don't make a right. A valid arguement for your point of view is not, hey they are doing something stupid so we should too. 2: I am sure if the school offered a class on topless sunbathing it would be very popular also. This whole spearing thing is just plain WRONG. All you do is kill fish. Saying that it's ok, because other anglers sometimes kill fish is once again a negative arguement that does nothing to further your point. Now I know you may compare it to deer hunting, but that is not a valid comparison for several reasons:1) Humans have eliminated the deer's natural predators which kept populations in balance; is that the case with pike? 2) If humans did not shoot the deer many would die horrible deaths starving. It is the bumbling ineptitude of human management of ecosystems that has lead to the neccessity of deer hunting today. Comparing this practice to walleye harvest would be once again a mistake. Walleye are stocked by the dnr to be caught and eaten. Does the DNR stock pike to be caught and eaten? It's time to end this senseless and wasteful practice once and for all. Put and end to Dark House Spearing. Contact your legislator and voice your concerns. Steve
Depending on the temps I would be working the steepest breaks deep 20' +. Steve
If you can troll down to speeds of 2.4 to 2.6 mph i would give that a try with some very large crank baits. Steve
I decided to end the season after my success on Lake Vermilion. Fishing the Metro would just have seemed anti-climactic. Funny thing though, I have not been able to bring myself to winerize the boat yet. Guess i am in denial. I would probably fish a metro lake in someone elses boat... Steve
Muskrats in the house
MetroSteve replied to Pikeslayer's topic in Muskies-Musky FishingI reccomend netting it and using it as a decoy. Maybe even quick strike rig and weight it. Now that would be cool to watch.
I was trolling a Firetiger Jake (14") in 20 fow at 2.4 mph Steve
Here's a few from last weekend on Vermilion: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Yeehaaa! What a trip. The 41, 48, 50, and 53.5 where all caught the same day! Now that's what I call Musky fishin! Steve

Indian Railways Train Enquiry Mobile App NTES Launched
Indian Railway has introduced a mobile application named NTES that will give users information on arrival and departure timings of a particular train on their mobile phones. The app has been developed by CRIS, the IT wing of Indian Railways. The app can be used for various enquiries including train timings.
National Train Enquiry System (NTES) is a back-end system of Indian Railways which provides accurate information to the commuters about train schedules on a near real time basis. It leverages the availability of various interfaces like nationwide unique rail enquiry number 139, website, mobile interfaces, touch screens, enquiry counters and display boards at stations.
CRIS has added more power to the train enquiry system by developing the mobile app and a desktop application on Windows 8 platform. Some of the prominent features of the mobile app are the 'spot your train' feature which offers real time information such as current position, expected time of arrival and departure at a particular station. Another significant feature is The 'Train Schedule' feature which provides complete schedule of a train and its all stoppages. The feature also gives information on train's scheduled arrival/departure at the station, distance and day count.
"Trains between Stations" feature helps to find out the list of trains available between two railway stations. The mobile app displays one more feature 'Cancelled Trains' that informs all trains marked as cancelled. It accommodates the details of the trains cancelled through the entire route or on partial route. Currently the app is developed for Windows 8.0 and soon other mobile platforms will follow the suite.

When Debenhams updates next Tuesday, the comparisons with John Lewis, which issued interims yesterday, are likely to be unflattering.
Debs's claim to be Britain's favourite department store is looking as outdated as last year's fashions. Its tagline, "Styling the nation", sounds like the triumph of hope over experience, given its recent trading performance.
JLP, in contrast, is motoring. Chairman Charlie Mayfield was cautious about the outlook, but had plenty to celebrate in the first half as the department store division ratcheted up solid increases in big categories such as fashion, electricals, home technology and furniture.
Despite admitting that trading conditions are getting harder, Mayfield was at pains to point out that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. He warned that gloom-mongering retailers could talk themselves into a worse slowdown than we already have.
But, in a week that brought morose comment from Next, mixed results from French Connection and a profit warning from JJB Sports, many retailers could be forgiven for thinking that they've not talked themselves into trouble – trouble has hit them like a 10-tonne truck.
JLP's focus on product, quality and service holds lessons for its hard-pressed peers, as does its emphasis on cost control. When trading is challenging – retailspeak for bloody awful – it's those old disciplines that make a difference.
No doubt, those principles will all be front-of-mind for Rob Templeman, who is coming under pressure to get Debenhams on the road to recovery. JLP may be in a class of its own, but its performance and prospects show that great retailers will ride out turbulence.
A vibrant industry
The untimely death of Anita Roddick highlighted, apart from the massive impact that she made, what a great industry retail is. Her story was typical of the stores trade; a tale of entrepreneurial vision, hard work, personal passion and love of success. She was representative of the sheer eclecticism of the sector – few business fields are home to a cast of characters that range from Roddick at one extreme to Sir Terry Leahy at another.
And Body Shop's success was evidence of that other quality that makes retail so exciting – the chance to connect intimately with the public and make a tangible difference to their everyday lives. Roddick's early death was sad news, but reflecting on her career is a reminder of the vibrancy of this industry. That in itself is fitting tribute to one of retail's real pioneers.

NHI Traffic Signal Design and Operation
There is a need to understand that the congestion and delays that exist on our streets and roadways can be better managed with a thorough understanding of effective traffic signal timing and optimization. Well-developed, designed, implemented, maintained, and operated traffic signal control projects are essential to this process. Engineering tools are available to design, optimize, analyze, and simulate traffic flow. This course addresses the application of the "Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD) to intersection displays, as well as signal timing, computerized traffic signal systems, control strategies, integrated systems, traffic control simulation, and optimization software. The course is divided into two primary parts: Traffic Signal Timing and Design, and Traffic Signal Systems.
- Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- List the steps required to plan, design, and implement a signalized intersection
- Devise an appropriate data collection plan for planning, designing, and operating a signalized intersection
- Perform a warrant analysis using the MUTCD warrants, including local policies

- Calculate signal timing at the design stage for both actuated and coordinated operational strategies, including pedestrian clearance intervals
- Determine location of signal displays
- Select signal-related signs and pavement markings, including turning-movement signs and advance warning signs
NHI Transportation Performance Management for Pavements
Recent legislation has resulted in new requirements for national performance measures and targets in several measure areas, including pavement conditions. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) established the requirements, and Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) continued them. Most States and other transportation agencies have established their own measures for pavement conditions; however, few transportation officials have experience in managing a performance-based program with specific outcome-oriented pavement targets.
This course is intended to review concepts in Transportation Performance Management (TPM), identify specific measures used for characterizing pavement conditions, and provide methods for analyzing and recommending pavement condition targets and approaches for monitoring pavement networks. One important aspect of TPM is monitoring performance once targets have been established and using information on current performance to guide decision making. The final portion of the course focuses on performance monitoring and approaches for updating performance targets over time.
The target audience for this course primarily consists of professionals responsible for pavement analysis, pavement project selection, evaluation of pavement investment strategies and associated risks, recommending pavement targets, and monitoring pavement condition. This audience may include pavement engineers, asset managers, planners, performance management, and programming staff of State and local agencies, consultants, and FHWA staff.
Open Source and Free GIS Software and Applications
Open source and free software has gained popularity in recent years, because it is free and compatible with different operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The course objective is to introduce students to the acquisition, editing, manipulation, and display and analysis of spatial information using Free Open Source Geographic Information Systems software (FOSS GIS). This course is designed to be an introduction to these technologies, primarily for students interested in infrastructure management, environmental management, public policy and administration, and nonprofit management, fields that GIS is becoming a critical tool. In addition, given this is a hands-on course, it is designed specifically to focus on nonprofit management, where the cost and accessibility of FOSS GIS may be particularly beneficial. It also teaches the following essential skills of operating a functional GIS using QGIS (formerly Quantum GIS, www.qgiw.org) software package.
- Spatial data acquisition
- Spatial data editing, QA/QC, and basic metadata
- Spatial data query and visualization
- Basic spatial analysis
- Map design
Pavement Preservation and Maintenance
This full day course will cover the basic types of pavement failures, distress identification and severity. It will look at the difference between preventive maintenance and reactive repairs. The course will discuss the use of various repair methods and their use of the pavement management concepts. After determining the type of pavement distress this course looks at the alternative repair methods that are available. The applications covered include: fog coat, slurry seal, scrub seal, cape seal, with special emphasis on chip seal. The course details how each application is performed, when to use them, and the type of oils used. A discussion will include chip seal methods and how to perform a good chip seal, along with the hazards that lead to a poorly performing chip seals and the materials used. The class will also cover the basics of emulsions and cutbacks, with a discussion of thin overlays, cold in place recycling, and full depth reclamation.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Measures
This half day class will review effective pedestrian safety projects, address the need for non-data-based reviews and identify methods for addressing the needs of the tribal pedestrians and bicyclist. Eleven percent of all crashes that occur on tribal lands are pedestrian related. The primary mode of transportation for a number of tribes is pedestrian and bicycle. Therefore, a safe transportation system must address the needs of the multi-modal transportation system. A traditional data analysis of crash data reports does not generally show the full picture of the concerns of this traveling population. This class will review several safety projects that have been funded, address the need for non-data based reviews and identify methods for addressing not only the needs of the tribal pedestrians but also the bicyclist.
Roadway Drainage Structure Inspection and Repair
This course will discuss basic road design characteristics as they relate to drainage, soil characteristics, basic hydrology (drainage areas, runoff factors, and rainfall intensity), hydraulics (culvert materials, sizing culvert, sizing ditches), and placement of culverts, culvert end treatments, and culvert and ditch maintenance. The participants will have an understanding of the makeup of roadway drainage and the qualities that increase the service life of the road. This course is set up to create discussion among participants, to include local conditions, concerns and techniques. While this course does not provide design criteria for engineers, it is intended to cover the needs of all people responsible for roads, from managers to operators.
Road Safety 365
This one-day workshop focuses on processes for incorporating safety into all aspects of local and rural road projects, and on making safety a priority through inclusion in the traditional decision-making process—365 days a year. The course stresses the importance of road safety, and illustrates how it can be integrated into rural/local transportation project development at all stages: planning, design, construction, implementation, operations, and maintenance. Through practical exercises and facilitator-led discussions, the emphasis is on operations and maintenance to reflect the predominant, day-to-day responsibilities of rural/local transportation agencies. The benefits and potential cost savings of safety initiatives are shown using examples from rural/local agencies.
Roadway Safety Audits and Road Safety Audit Reviews
Road Safety Audits (RSA) is a full day training session. Participants in this course will learn how to improve transportation safety by applying proactive approaches to reduce accidents and their severity in local roads. These techniques provide an examination of a roadway by an independent, qualified audit team. The RSA is a way for an agency to improve safety and to communicate to the public how they are working toward accident reductions. This two-day course includes topics such as: RSA definition and history, how to conduct an RSA, and reviewing and identifying the common safety issues found with RSA's. The topics will be illustrated with group discussions, practical application, and case studies of RSA's. After completing RSA, participants should be able to:
- Define why we need Road Safety Audits,
- Describe the process for completing a Road Safety Audit,
- Describe Risk and Safety,
- Recognize common issues found while conducting RSA's,
- Demonstrate how to perform an RSA through examples.
Roadway Safety Data Collection and Safety Plan Development
As a part of the Federal Transportation Act, every state has set-a-side funding titled as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to address the crash locations on all roads. As a part of this effort the states have developed a State-wide Safety Plan that identifies the types of issues that lead to these fatal, serious and other injury crashes. The goal of this full day course is to assist local agencies in the development or updating of a safety plan by reviewing the State plan and discussing:
- A typical Safety Team within an organization
- The need for a system wide review the crash data and perceptions
- Looking and addressing the four Es, Engineering, Education, Enforcement and Emergency Response
- Tools that can be used in this process
- Some common local impacts to Safety
Roadway Safety & Temporary Traffic Control
As supervisors and employees plan for the maintenance and construction season following the winter, those agencies may need to reinforce their knowledge concerning working on their transportation system. The decisions made by the agency, the employee or a contractor can affect the safety and liability of the employee, the traveling public and the agency.
This course will review some of the basic concepts and typical solutions to reduce the hazards found as workers start to repair, reconstruct and make improvement to the transportation system. The students will review concepts on Temporary Traffic Control, Flagging, Night Work, Worker Safety, as well as Roadway and Roadway Safety and Legal issues.
Safety on the Job
The most dangerous occupation in the United States is Transportation construction and Maintenance. Annually the industry loses 500 employees and has 5,000 serious injuries occurring on the job, changing lives and costing companies and agencies in personnel and dollars. The one organization that develops National Standards for Employee Safety is OSHA. All states have accepted the OSHA Standards as the National Standard for Employee Safety. This full day course focuses on teaching the ways that the organizations and the employees can protect themselves from being injured or killed. This training course was developed to enable employers and employees to refresh themselves in the proper operation and working environments to protect those employees.
Succession Planning in Public Works
Succession planning is one of the most critical issues facing Public Works agencies today as the baby boomer generation continues to exit the workforce taking with them years of experience and institutional knowledge. Planning for this experience gap will allow agencies to more seamlessly continue operations in the short and long term future. The goal of this course is to educate municipalities and the general public sector in the topic of succession planning by providing relative tools and information. This full day training course will discuss best practices and provide implementation tools for succession planning in public works.
Traffic Signal Design and Operation
There is a need to understand that the congestion and delays that exist on our streets and roadways can be better managed with a thorough understanding of effective traffic signal timing and optimization. Well-developed, designed, implemented, maintained, and operated traffic signal control projects are essential to this process. Engineering tools are available to design, optimize, analyze, and simulate traffic flow. This course addresses the application of the "Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD) to intersection displays, as well as signal timing, computerized traffic signal systems, control strategies, integrated systems, traffic control simulation, and optimization software. The course is divided into two primary parts: Traffic Signal Timing and Design, and Traffic Signal Systems.
Transportation Asset Management
The large inventory of aging roadways and bridges, the dramatic fluctuations in construction costs, the retirement of experienced transportation workers, and the increased competition for available funding have amplified the challenges transportation agencies face as they manage their highway systems. Over the last decade, a number of state highway agencies have established Transportation Asset Management (TAM) programs to help document asset conditions, to allocate funding, and to determine the most effective use of available funds. TAM programs provide the processes and tools necessary to help transportation leaders make informed project decisions that can improve the overall operational efficiency of the organization. This full day course covers the basic tenets of an asset management program, how it is useful and looks at pavement preservation strategies.
Unpaved Roads Maintenance and Design
A "Gravel Road" being defined as a roadway that does not have an asphalt or concrete driving surface and can be better defined as an unpaved roadway. The driving surface could be gravel, either crushed or natural materials, or natural material that has not been processed. Most "unpaved" roads are low volume (less than 100 vehicles per day).
Counties, Cities and even state DOT crews are seeing shrinking budgets and increasing costs to maintain all of their transportation system. This course will present practical methods used by other counties and cities to improve the level of service while reducing some of their costs of maintaining these unpaved roads, by looking at:
- the subgrade,
- the surface material,
- the volume and type of traffic,
- the shape of the road,
- how to reduce the cost of maintenance.
This program will provide a set of tools which will assist the agency in determining the level of performance of their surface material.

When did you first become interested in photography?
I never had one of those "ahh ha!" moments when I realized I wanted to be a photographer. I felt like it was always there. I watched my dad collect a ton of old Kodak cameras growing up. Once digital became more popular, I remember wanting to take a darkroom class in high school to see how things used to be done. I kept wanting to learn more and more, and majoring in photography in college seemed like the way to go.
How long have you lived in Chicago?
I was born and raised in the western suburbs. I just recently moved farther south but still very close to the city. I don't think I would be where I am today without having the opportunities Chicago has given me within the art world.
What type of camera do you shoot with?
I shoot with a couple different Nikon cameras. Calm down all you Canon people. They are both good cameras. It's not like the Cubs and the Sox where one is obviously better than the other. But most photographers will tell you, it's all about the lenses. Different lenses allow us to focus in on one itty bitty eyelash on a newborn baby, or the entire skyline of the city.
What are some of your favorite moments during a photography shoot?
I did a wedding once in the late spring that had an outdoor ceremony. We had been fighting the rain all day but it seemed to clear up just in time for the ceremony. We were almost finished and the officiant was 10 seconds away from saying "I now pronounce you…" and it started to pour. Everyone ran inside the reception hall where we finished it up. I was able to capture a silhouette of them kissing. It was a ceremony photo that I never planned on ever getting, but it is one of my favorites.
At another wedding, I was going around taking group shots of everyone. I came up to this one group that was using a selfie stick. They had no interest in me and my big fancy camera. So I just took a picture of them, taking a picture of themselves with the selfie stick.
Where is your favorite place to photograph?
I love going to forest preserves and farms. There's a particular one down in Tinley Park that has so many different photo opportunities that I could spend hours there and never get bored.
What is your favorite age to document children?
Newborns, 9 months, and 3 years old are my favorite times. Newborns are so peaceful when they are sleeping. 9 month olds who are not quite walking yet are adorable. They fall on their butts so often it reminds me of a good lesson in life- Get up and try again. 3 years olds are at the age where everything is an adventure. I like letting their curiosity run wild. Grab a pile of leaves and throw them in the air!
So far, what is the coolest job you've done so far?
I assisted for a photographer friend of mine last year who booked a wedding inside the Willis Tower. We were let inside like special VIPs and didn't have to go through the metal detectors or give them our IDs. The velvet rope was just pushed aside and up we went. It wasn't a huge wedding which made it seem even more glamorous. There were windows on all three sides of the room looking out over the city at night. I couldn't resist taking a selfie. At the end of the night, we got our car from the valet; they helped us in and put out bags in too. We felt like we were the most important photographers in the world!
What inspires your photographic creativity?
Unlike painters, drawers, and sculptors, I cannot pull a photograph out of thin air. My creativity is drawn out of me by the people I photograph. Without their personality, identity, or emotions I feel as though I would have a blank canvas.
If you could photograph anyone famous, who would it be?
I'm glad you asked this question because there really isn't anyone. I enjoy working with average families with kids and brides who have such a special day to remember. I want to give them memories that will hopefully last a life time. However, if I did have to choose someone, it would be Jennifer Lawrence. We would probably not get any decent pictures, with our two personalities we would be joking the entire time. But I would be okay with that.
Are you doing any promotions for the holidays? What are they?
The holiday photo rush is pretty much done for me at this point. Most families use photos for holiday cards that are sent out by this time. But I would happily give out a pack of complimentary prints for anyone who books a session with me in the upcoming winter months if they mention The Frame Shop Blog!
Last Night: at David Weinberg gallery
Typically, an amuse-bouche is offered at the beginning of your meal. It prepares the palette for complexity so you can more fully enjoy the range of tastes and sensitivities provided. At David Weinberg gallery last night, the luscious preparer was served at the end of your journey through aesthetics, color, and exploration. Amuse LaBouche, a Chicago artist who specializes in your art and entertainment pleasure, set up shop in the back gallery. Alongside a collaborative installation with Sofia Moreno and with the help of two lovely bartenders, their installation catered to your visual and oral needs.
Like a scene stolen from the Little Mermaid, the collaborative installation by Sofia and Amuse surrounded the BitchEz Drinking Project bar with glamour and intensity. Neon and spot lights directed your eye to and from the throne and cocktail shaker. Mirrors threw you back into the thick of the sea scene. A viewer felt both at home in a childhood dream while also disappointed that their vision didn't age as well as they had hoped it would. That didn't matter as much because the artists themselves were as beautiful as ever. Decked in white fur and negligées they sauntered in a way that reminded you dreams can come true.
Amuse LaBouche and the BitchEz Drinking Project are the reminder that you didn't have to be cold this Chicago winter season. Plenty of side eye and a string of pearls in tow, he creates a cocktail that is sweet and comforting. With lavender and bitters, the gin based cocktail went down smooth and warm. The rest of the gallery was filled with beautiful objects that took the form of photographs, sculpture, performers and patrons alike. Images and videos personified how exciting it is to express the body through the ability to adorn. What better way to accessorize that with a drink made with love and attention?
Meet the artist: Robert Lococo
Meet the artist: Robert Lococo
Robert Lococo is a painter whose studio is located in the Bridgeport Art Center. I encountered Lococo at his open studio event last Friday. A patron of the Frame Shop, I was excited to see our frames accenting such strong painting panels. His work ranges from abstract, dark landscapes to portraits of parrots, to swift strokes of color evoking movement. Lococo graduated from the School of the Art Institute here in Chicago. I asked him a couple of questions to get to know him and his work a little more.
Where are you from? Has your background influenced your choice to become a painter?
I spent my earliest years in New Mexico, many in Colorado, and the last seven here in Illinois. I believe my proximity to the outdoors and frequent hiking and camping has absolutely influenced my choice to be a painter. it gave me more opportunity to absorb the sublimity of the natural world.
How long have you been a painter?
I don't know how long I have been a painter because I don't know when "being a painter "started. However, I knew that I HAD to pursue painting as a career the summer before I left for college.
What first got you interested in painting?
A man I looked up to, named Herman Raymond, a truly inspiring artist that was my mentor, told me that I should never give it up. It meant the world to me.
I saw you went to SAIC. How was your experience studying at one of the most prominent art schools in the US?
Studying at the SAIC was an eye opening experience. It was a world of art and thought that I had not seen before. It encouraged experimentation and honesty. Honesty especially- it was learned that criticism is the best thing for an artist.
Whose work do you look up to?
My absolute favorite artist is Winslow Homer- his water colors are just so… natural… and potent. But his piece: "The herring net" is the most inspirational. It is dynamic and the colors are just so real.
Where is your dream location to show your artwork.
I have humble aspirations for an artist. I dream that my art will find its place in the homes of people that can relate to and appreciate my art.
I met your dog while at the studio. How long have you had him? Is she a good studio buddy?
Chieko, my canine buddy, has been with me for two years. She is a great studio buddy. She will wait patiently while I create, but is sure to let me know when it's time to take a break.
For me, your darker work is reminiscent of Caravaggio's dark backgrounds and strokes. Is he an influence for you? Did you intend to have your imagery call back to an earlier time in painting?
Caravaggio's art is a very interesting comparison. His art has a very different feel. Like an angst or a depression. This is the opposite of what I am trying to pursue. I look to endorse happy or sublime or simply awe. BUT yes! The drama of his art is amazing and in that sense does exactly what I am trying to do. The black that you disappear into compliments the light that brings you back. Am I calling back to an earlier time in painting? That's an interesting idea that I will have to think longer on. It makes sense in the sense that I refer to the older artists when lost on my own process.
Your studio is located in the Bridgeport Arts Center. Has that location been beneficial to you?
The Bridgeport Art Center has been very good to me. It has a community that keeps me relevant and many artists who look out for the younger infant artists like me. I have not resided in any other studio building other than the school studios, but I like it- and that's good enough for me.

When this blog started, the goal was to provide First Nations and local governments with stories and advice focused on the process of developing municipal type service agreements. These agreements are integral to many First Nation communities, providing members sustainable access to basic everyday services such as water, sewer, fire protection, and garbage collection.
Developing a service agreement can be complex and intimidating to those tasked with the important role of administering these services. The process however, can be broken down into stages:
- Identifying Your Needs.
- Determine if a service agreement is the best option, and if it is feasible.
- Work together with your service delivery partner to develop principles and a process for negotiation.
- Negotiate the terms of the agreement.
- Sign the agreement (and host a signing ceremony!).
- Administer the agreement for ongoing service delivery.
The Pathways for Service Delivery website houses templates, guidebooks, and other resources to guide First Nations and local governments through the different stages of developing a service agreement. The newly released handbooks, Developing Municipal Type Service Agreements, act as a compliment to those resources. These handbooks serve as bridging documents to the Pathways to Service Delivery Guide and the service agreement templates developed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). A handbook has been developed for some of the most common types of service agreements: Water and Sewer Services, Fire Protection Services, and Garbage Collection and Disposal Services.
The Pathways to Service Delivery guide provides and overview of what is needed to negotiate a service agreement. It provides suggestions, tips, and resources as well as where to find other helpful resources. However, it does not show step by step instructions on the many intricacies of physically developing an agreement. On the other end of the spectrum, the FCM Templates act as guides for drafting a service agreement. It includes clauses that can be altered, added, and deleted to ensure the agreement is tailored to meet the unique needs of a community.
Developing Municipal Type Service Agreements Handbook outlines 11 core components, or contract terms, that typically make up the terms of a service agreement. It identifies certain decisions that will need to be made in order to craft terms that reflect your unique service agreement, as well as important points to consider when making those decisions. Similarity to the FCM Templates, the Handbook also highlights example contract terms that can be used or modified directly in your service agreement.
The Developing Municipal Type Service Agreements Handbook is tailored to those ready and negotiate the terms of their agreement. Think you're ready to use this handbook? Can you answer yes to each of the following questions?
- Do you have an understanding of what your service needs are?
- Have you identified that a service agreement is the most effective way of meeting these needs?
- Have you developed a memorandum of understanding and/or principles for working together with your neighbouring municipality?
- Have you determined that service delivery through a service agreement is feasible?
- Have you done some preparation to understand your neighbouring community better?
Once you can positively answer the questions above, you've likely done the prep work necessary to ensure the negotiation stage of developing a service agreement is as smooth as possible.
