1. Call to Order
Ms. Murphy called the meeting to order at 7:01PM.
2. Comments from Select Board and Town Manager
Mrs. Esty said they are still accepting donations for the Directory. She said she would be at the transfer station on Saturday if anyone would like to sign up.
Mr. Morris said things are going well at the transfer station. The traffic pattern seems to be working a little better. In response to phone calls he had received, he said, yes, we are still taking recycling – the new compactor takes all of our single-sort recycling- cardboard, paper, 1-7 plastic, tin and aluminum cans – everything goes in there. He asked that glass and 5-cent redeemables not be placed in the compactor. There is no charge for recycling. Solid waste is accepted at the normal 1-punch rate. Metal and construction/demolition wastes are still being taken. Transfer station attendants are on hand to answer any questions.

5. Strategic Planning/Jason Rasmussen, RPC Director of Planning
a. 2017 Municipal Planning Grant Presentation
Mr. Morris said the Town applied for and was awarded a 2017 Municipal Planning Grant for village revitalization. Jason Rasmussen was on hand to explain what the grant is about.
NOTE: Members of the Weathersfield Planning Commission were present to observe and participate in the presentation.
Mr. Rasmussen said that this kick-off meeting is an opportunity to talk about the focus of the grant and to take any suggestions offered from those in attendance. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a planning process to promote revitalization in both village centers. It is about a $9,000 project.
A survey conducted in November indicated that respondents were in favor of village revitalization. A 2nd survey will attempt to discern what revitalization actually means to those who respond. The survey will be two-pronged – one for residents, one for visitors – what do people like, what do they think is missing, etc. Some of the outcomes will go into the Town Plan.
Tonight's meeting is the kick-off meeting for the grant. It will be followed by two workshops in Ascutney, two in Perkinsville and a final public meeting at the end. A written report will summarize the project and provide updates to parts of the Town Plan, such as the Land Use chapter and the Economic Development chapter. The report will include a summary of existing conditions, a vision for the revitalization of each village center, strategies to achieve the vision, and draft updates to the Town Plan.
Surveys will be at the library, the Weathersfield Inn, the Town Office, and one or two places in Perkinsville (Villagers, the campgrounds, and the Weathersfield Trail parking area were also suggested).
July 2017 Kick-off meeting; existing conditions summary; coordination with SRDC
July-August First workshop in each village center
Sept-Oct Surveys
Oct-Nov Second workshop in each village center
Dec Draft addendum to Town Plan
Jan-Feb 2018 Present findings at public meeting
March Draft updates to Town Plan
April Review and finalize with Planning Commission
May Complete grant activities
The public is encouraged to attend all of the workshops, not just the ones closest to one's residence. Revitalization of the village centers is a benefit to the whole community.
Nancy Heatley encouraged Jason to be creative in ways to get people to attend the public meetings – for example reaching out to the Historical Society with their extensive email list or approaching people at the Transfer Station.
Annmarie Christenson suggested placing news articles in the Message and the VT Journal.
Ms. Murphy asked that the survey be as specific as possible so as to get the most useful feedback possible.
Julie Schmitz cautioned against allowing this to become an "Ascutney vs Perkinsville" exercise by meeting in places other than the village centers.
Everyone thanked Mr. Rasmussen for the presentation.
b. Economic Development Presentation
Mr. Morris gave a presentation on his economic development vision for the Town.
The development of his plan began with learning the town and what is important to the people. He learned that we value our land, nature, conservation and our history. He then formed an Economic Development Advisory Committee of local residents and business people to get feedback on his ideas.
Key features that Weathersfield has to offer are:
• Our location : we are 20-30 minutes from a wide variety of attractions and larger communities
• Interstate access;
• Substantial opportunities for outdoor recreation; and
• An abundance of historical and natural beauty.
Mr. Morris feels we can use these assets to attract people to our town, which, in turn, can lead to more businesses developing, although this can be a "chicken and egg" sort of scenario.
Mr. Morris reviewed results of previous surveys that indicate the types of businesses townspeople would like to see in town. Taking those results, he developed a vision based on the values and assets of the community.
The three-step economic development plan includes:
• Plan: A town-wide trail system that would ideally link Ascutney and Perkinsville
• Embrace: the local history we have – bring it alive with signage
• Collaborate: with surrounding towns in marketing and development
We need to build a community philosophy – our core value – and develop a brand. This is followed by creating a marketing plan, and then the plan for strategic implementation.
Mr. Morris asked for ideas and contributions from everyone to add to the vision and plans.
The meeting was recessed for a few minutes to allow dismantling of equipment.
6. Accept Policy Review for:
a. Zoning Board of Adjustment Alternate Member Use Policy
Motion: To approve the review of the Zoning Board of Adjustment Alternate Member Use policy as written.
Made by: Mrs. Esty Second: Mr. Boyer
Vote: Unanimous in favor
7. Review Policy Change for Class IV Town Highways (First reading)
Mr. Morris said he had discussed the idea of allowing people to work directly with Mr. Hazeltine when they wanted to do some minor work on a Class IV road (such as removing fallen trees) rather than having to come to the Board. Mr. Morris added some language to the policy to reflect that idea. Major changes to a Class IV road would still require Select Board approval.
Ms. Main asked that verbal approvals for minor maintenance be corroborated with something in writing. Ms. Murphy agreed. She suggested creating a template for Mr. Hazeltine to use.
Ms. Murphy questioned the term "sufficient notice" and suggested providing a minimum amount of time.
Ms. Murphy asked how minor maintenance can be approved by the highway superintendent, but snow removal requires select board approval. She also asked that the Town Manager be added to the definition of 'Regular Maintenance' at the end of the last sentence:
Examples of regular maintenance would be ... as determined by the Highway Superintendent and the Town Manager.' Mr. Morris said he felt they should just trust Wes to make these decisions. If Wes has a question, he can take it to Mr. Morris.
Ms. Murphy asked the sentence in the 'Major Improvement' definition be changed to read: 'Widening road, improving road base ... that are determined to be upgrades by the highway Superintendent, in consultation with the Highway Committee, and the Town Manager or Select Board.' on the grounds that the Select Board would hear appeals of those determinations. Mr. Morris said the Highway Committee wouldn't be making any sort of decisions. The Highway Committee consists of the Manager, the Superintendent and a member of the Board and Mr. Morris would use the Committee to help make a determination of the proposed maintenance if it is difficult to decided on. Ms. Murphy accepted the explanation for not changing the language.
Each determination is on a case-by-case basis according to Mr. Hazeltine. There are no predetermined categories for maintenance activities.
Mr. Cole asked if there could be a provision made for really minor work, such as removing a downed tree branch, that would preclude the need to call Mr. Hazeltine. He cautioned against over-regulating. Mr. Morris said he would check some other towns' policies for ideas.
Ms. Murphy asked what happens if the policy isn't followed by someone. She asked that enforcement procedures be included.
There were no further comments or questions. The policy was moved to its second reading.
8. Fire Commission Monthly Report
Mrs. Esty said the Commission had met the previous Wednesday. She read the following letter for the record as it had been read for the record at the Commission meeting:
First, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to Mr. Boyer. Mr. Boyer is correct in that he should have been approached directly by either myself or by Mr. Spaulding prior to any action or discussion. I also take full responsibility in that I did not follow up in the fact finding process prior to the topic of "Fire Scene Safety" being placed on the June Fire Commission agenda.
If I had been informed that there was a police officer present on scene and there was no traffic control, my response to Mr. Spaulding's phone call would have been handled much differently. However, this does not excuse me from not following through and exploring the issue completely prior to it being discussed at a Fire Commission meeting.
There have been many comments and allegations over the years regarding actions and inactions of various Town employees. There should be no allegations or personal complaints discussed at Fire Commission meetings. Process and procedures should be addressed. If either Fire Department is having an issue with something not in line with their standards, it should be addressed by being brought to the attention of the Town Manager, Ed Morris, immediately.
Regardless of anything else, all information presented at the Fire Commission meetings, from now on, will be fact and evidence based.
We should and will use these Fire Commission meetings to advocate for Dry Hydrants, collection and sharing of fire service information and discussions of facts and details in relation to the Fire Departments in Weathersfield.
Second, my most sincere and heartfelt apologies, again, to Mr Boyer and to any and all employees of the Town of Weathersfield that may have been affected. While I cannot erase what was said in the past, I can assure you that I will do everything in my power to not repeat the same mistakes.
Respectfully and humbly,
Lynn Esty,
Chairperson, Weathersfield Fire Commission
Select Board Representative
Mrs. Esty then read a letter addressed to the Fire Commission as it had been read for the record at the Commission meeting:
I was asked to read the minutes and look into allegations that were made during the Fire Commission meetings on May 3rd and June 14th. I'd like to communicate to you that we have investigated and discussed many of the allegations previously made. I have found most of the problems are either communication or procedural issues between both the Fire Departments and Town staff. I do not feel any one person or organization carries the blame for these issues, but we equally share the responsibility for past issues and future resolutions.
I have a few requests as we move forward:
• Be patient. Everything we try may not work, but we can rework any process trying to find a solution that will work for all parties involved.
• Come to me with any issues that are not easily resolved between parties. Together we can fid a solution or process to follow to get the resolution needed.
• Keep meeting discussions focused on projects, procedure and policy. Complaints should be handled behind the scenes unless a resolution or compromise has been thoroughly vetted and compromise cannot be reached.
• Let's leave the past behind us. As Kelly stated in the Selectboard meeting, let's not dwell on past issues, but use the lessons we learned from those issues to shape the future.
Thank you for your time and willingness to help our community. I look forward to working with you to shape our working relationship in to a smoother, more professional operation.
Ed Morris, Town Manager
Mr. Boyer said he and Mrs. Boyer had read Mrs. Esty's letter and accepted the apology.
Mrs. Esty then completed reading her monthly report.
The majority of the dry hydrants around town have been tested. The Commission has a list of the hydrants with their 911 addresses as well as lat/long data. It will be shared with the Planning Commission.
The Commission approved the use of reserve funds for installation of a dry hydrant at 830 Pikes Peak Road The landowners were present for the discussion.
The Commission approved seeking grant funding to install a new hydrant on South Mountain Road, with an alternate location on Stokes/Wellwood Orchard Road if the first location fails. The Commission has since learned that the South Mountain Road property is being sold, so they will be pursuing the alternate location.
The Commission approved seeking grant funding for the repair of the hydrant in Weathersfield Bow.
Mr. Spaulding said there are three businesses in Town that don't have Knox Boxes in what he believed to be a violation of the Town's Knox-Box policy. Mr. Morris said he was not aware of a Knox-Box policy. Mr. Dauphin said he remembered requesting Knox Boxes for businesses when they applied for a zoning permit from the town, but wasn't aware of a Town policy. Mr. Boyer said he was not aware of a town policy either. Mr. Cole said he remembered discussions about it with Ascutney Fire quite a while ago and perhaps that was what Mr. Spaulding was referring to. Mr. Morris said he has talked to Hal Wilkins about creating a process that would work best for him to solicit input from department heads for conditional use permits.
Mrs. Esty said there was discussion about the ambulance contract. Questions were raised about call times, services, etc. It was recommended that the next time this comes up for review, the fire departments should be contacted for their input.
There was discussion about the fire agreement. WWVFD would like insurance and maintenance on all apparatus. AVFD wants a list of what the Town will and will not pay for in the event that the Town takes over the billing process. AVFD also has concerns about nonpayment of essentials (electricity and internet) and micromanaging (types of gear or foam). AVFD will hold a special meeting prior to the next select board meeting to continue the discussion. The Commission asked that the agreement be put on the agenda for the first August meeting.
The new fire truck was available for viewing after the meeting.
The Commission will not be meeting in August due to vacations. Next meeting will be September 13th at WWVFD at 7PM.
Mrs. Esty showed the board the updated dry hydrant map. Mr. Morris asked that the list of hydrants and data be sent to Katharine Otto at RPC. Ms. Murphy asked if the updated information would be going into the Town Plan to replace the outdated information in there currently.
Mrs. Esty said the updated information has been shared with dispatch and mutual aid.
Mr. Dauphin brought up the comments that had been made at a previous meeting about bills not being paid on time. Mrs. Esty said she had received copies of all of the bills for the departments and the commission and found no evidence of bills not being paid in a timely manner, with the one exception of the Sunoco bill. There was also one error noted and corrected before the end of the financial year. This was discussed and noted in the meeting minutes for the last Commission meeting.
There were no other comments or questions.
9. Fire Agreement Contract
Ms. Murphy noted that Mr. Morris had made some revisions to the agreement (outlined in his cover letter to the board).
A question has been raised about whether or not the town has budgeted for complete maintenance of all fire apparatus before we enter into an agreement to do that. There were also concerns about what might happen in the future. After much thought, Mr. Morris said he recommends moving toward providing maintenance and making it just that simple. He acknowledged that it is open to discussion with the Board. He said he had added some wording to the agreement regarding insurance and maintenance as well as some strong wording that any future purchases needed to be approved by the select board and/or the town.
He highlighted capital equipment because of previous misunderstandings about what capital equipment is there and what's available. He suggested removing it from the contract for now with the understanding that we will come back with a full list of what capital equipment each department has and what we're going to add. It was agreed to discuss the definition of capital equipment. Ms. Murphy suggested that they define what is on the existing "lists" that each department has compiled (as to what is/is not capital equipment) and then move on with that particular list.
Mr. Dauphin said that capital equipment refers to large equipment – hose, radios, airpacks – those are the biggest capital needs. Mr. Morris said hose is not a capital expense. He said there is a definition of a capital expense in a town policy. He said he would send it to the board members and the departments. It addresses monetary and lifespan thresholds. They are things that can be capitalized over a 15 or 20-year period.
Mr. Morris agreed with Mr. Dauphin that we need to get onto some sort of rotation – he said this is a reason he is pushing the finance portion of this contract so we can analyze some of this and budget properly and start making those rotations happen; so we can see where we're not putting the money that we need to. Both departments have said the annual stipend is insufficient to support the operational end of things. This analysis will help us identify these issues more quickly.
Mr. Dauphin said in the past five years they have relied heavily on outside grant and assistance funding that contain NFPA deadlines for replacement. They just replaced twelve airpacks ($66,000) that will all have to be replaced in 15 years at once. The same applies to their hose ($60,000), radios ($80,000) and cascade system ($40,000). What happens when the grants dry up? WWVFD doesn't have that kind of money in their fundraising accounts. They have paid for the 5% match out of their budget. He emphasized the need to get onto a rotation schedule as soon as possible.
Ms. Murphy said typically each nonprofit has its own definition of capital expense. She said, "If we eliminate that out of the maintenance piece, it buys a little time. If the Board's in agreement on the maintenance of the vehicles and apparatus, we can move forward with that. And then we can revisit the capital."
Ms. Murphy said, historically there seems to be a small amount of money earmarked for maintenance. She said it might be beneficial to look back 5-10 years to find the average maintenance budget. She said the fire departments shouldn't get chastised for spending on maintenance, particularly when the line item is inadequate. She also said the maintenance line should include ladder-testing and any other specific components of the apparatus that regularly need to be checked. As to procedure for out-of-house repairs (repairs that highway department cannot make), Ms. Murphy said she would like to see a a quote on the cost of the repair before it moves forward. Mr. Dauphin said that getting a quote is not always possible. Sometimes a $600 repair turns into a $1600 repair once the repair begins.
Ms. Murphy asked Mr. Hazeltine for his thoughts about the Town taking on all maintenance. He said it has been working well for the most part already, but repairs that go out-of-house can get costly very quickly and the town will have to trust the chiefs to oversee that it doesn't get out of hand.
Mr. Morris cleared up some confusion about comments made regarding paying for internet and electricity bills. Normal operating expenses will continue to be paid. The only expenses not likely to be paid are those items that relate directly to each nonprofit organization (CPA, attorney, etc.). Ms. Murphy suggested having each department submit a list of their basic operating expenses to Mr. Morris so they know what will be paid. Mr. Morris said the Board will need to be quite liberal in the first few years of this transition and discuss items as we go along. Even with a list, unanticipated things will come up. He said it really comes down to the open communication he has been talking about.
The agreement will be discussed again following the AVFD special meeting. Mr. Morris said he had no set timeline for this – just as long as it was moving forward.
Mr. Dauphin asked the Board for the process to move the Pikes Peak dry hydrant forward. Mr. Morris advised him to get a cost estimate first.

Smiley Boy is beyond tired today. He would never admit it, but he is. He's much more inclined to drift to a stop today and watch a bit of TV than he is to charge around the house, making up stories and running races with his cars and toys.
Smiley Boy's standard response to tiredness is to be more spastic. He plays harder, runs faster. Anything to stay awake. He knows instinctively that stopping is dangerous; stop too long and he'll conk out. Can't have that, sleeping is no fun! Naps are for wimps!
I sort of can't blame him. I'm told that I never wanted to take a nap when I was a kid either. There's so much going on! I might miss something!
I still can't blame him, because I do the same thing now I'm a grownup. Not so much with naps; I like naps a lot more now than I did when I was a kid. But I can't always tell what I need. Sometimes when I've had enough of something, I keep doing more of it. I can't tell that I've had enough. I can tell I want something, but the signals are crossed and I can't see what I really need is to stop and do something else.
I'm overstimulated this week too, just like Smiley Boy. I've spent several days waiting for various pieces of news. I've sent people messages and had to be patient for longer than I wanted until I got answers. I've written about some big, difficult stuff. I've also been distracting myself a lot. Watching TV, surfing YouTube, skimming books, stuffing my head with noise and clattering ideas.
It would be pretty easy to sign off this post and turn the TV on, just for noise. Just to keep distracting myself. But I'm tired of noise and clatter. Even I need a break from words sometimes. What I really need is peace and quiet. I think I'll go have some.
Maybe I'll even take a nap.

Pigeon Point, Pescadero
A couple weeks ago, Maya, Una, Kaj and I all went out to Pescadero. We stayed in a hostel right on the beach next to Pigeon Point's light house. While visiting, we saw all types of farm animals (including a donkey!!) and paid a visit to Pescaderos local goat farm. I'm working on a video from the trip, so stay tuned to see it all!

How do you choose the best computer for graphic style? Fairly practical Jake Butt Broncos Jersey , I may very well say, simply because you may want to focus plenty on the laptops hardware, fairly than its tool. In the pc marketplace people today tend to pick Dell or Apple, on the grounds that their brands have developed it apparent that when you select one of their goods, you won't ever remorse carrying out so. They are acknowledged in all places as being the top of the line in what they do.
If you do discover a computer to your liking nevertheless the treatment or display screen measurement is as well smallish Garett Bolles Broncos Jersey , one positive concept would be to buy a second monitor for your laptop, that method you could possibly retailer every thing those toolbars on the monitor and career on editing the picture on your computer screen.
System RAM
The tactic RAM is an important factor to find the moment purchasing a computer system for graphic design and style. Graphic design and style means making use of programs which tend to utilize many RAM, so the additional RAM your method includes, the much simpler those programs will function, the faster you are going to get the task executed and acquire the ideally suited prospective overall performance out of your laptop.
Graphics designers make the most of Photoshop lots Matt Paradis Broncos Jersey , along with other vector graphics layout programs, and they commonly run approximately three-4 applications at a time, so the quantity of RAM the pc contains is important to overall performance. You should begin at a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, if you merely employ 1 of these programs at a time.
But if you intend to multitask and operate quite a few programs at a time, your graphics style laptop or computer should really convey at least 2GB of RAM or better. It goes without saying Derek Wolfe Broncos Jersey , The highest degree you will probably go with present laptops is the 4GB. Once you very own a 4GB RAM bearing pc, you're sure to buy anything completed in the minimum amount of time prospective.
But without the need of to scare absent the competition, right here are some key reasons you may possibly want to have a look at the moment selecting the ideal personal computer for graphic design and style:
Actual Display screen Resolution
This refers to the precise display screen treatment a pc display screen could possibly output. It doesn't always have to do significantly with the display dimension itself. Hopefully,Possibly, Some 13 inch screen laptops are qualified of resolutions of 1280 by 800 Chris Harris Jr. Broncos Jersey , still this does not mean you must choose these a smaller computer system to do graphic design with. Probably, Goal for nearly anything ideally over 15.four inches in screen size, considering that newer desktop computer units have a tendency to pack many pixels in a tight display screen space.
Do an precise solution check and watch what alternative will work excellent for you, and your workflow. Open up a great number of programs, adding Photoshop Emmanuel Sanders Broncos Jersey , and strive to view how the toolbars match in, how leading is the editing space (the picture being edited), and how sharp the actual image is at that particular screen choice. You have to understand, My guess is that as soon as quite a few experimentations, you will occur with the excellent display screen choice to fit your complete workflow.
Since suppliers have a tendency to fee extra for RAM upgrades on machines bought from them Demaryius Thomas Broncos Jersey , it would be clever to pay for a machine with an usual quantity of RAM, then acquire some excess modules and upgrade the personal computer on your own.
Laptop CPU – Processor
The excellent laptops for graphic design will convey a CPU capable of handling most programs which need lots of calculations. Everyone understands, Vector layout, for instance, indicates quite a few calculations to be accomplished Royce Freeman Broncos Jersey , so a computer with a sturdy CPU will be required. Which means, It would be clever to aim for processors with more cores than one. Some units have about 1 processing core, so this kind of processor will do precisely great.
You would just necessitate a better graphics card if you want to install a lot of video games or if you intend to do 3D modelling and rendering.
The ideal laptops for graphic layout deliver a devoted graphics card with it's personal separate memory.

This is a commercial ad of Android. This commercial was released in November 2015 in United Kingdom. Under the title of "Android: LeeFest".
Follow your passion. Start something new. Welcome to LeeFest.
This is rather interesting. People might not believe this but this is one idea that just skyrocketed and was made to a great festival. To think about it, it just started as one party at the garden since it wasn't allowed in the house. Soon it actually became a huge hit with the others and they had to do this annually. This is something huge and maybe others would say it's too big of an idea. But I like it that they still continued with this event. Good on you!
Just bounce
Get up, get up
The minute that we step inside the club with each other
? the truth
The moment for me to get up to get loose
? and stand up
Get up
Get up, baby, get up
Get up
Get up, baby, get up
outdoor sound systems
Let's do it again.
Bigger and better?
Legendary! #LEEFEST

Sima Wali, who fled the Soviet-backed coup in Afghanistan in 1978 to wage what she called a "jihad for peace and equality" by women against "gender apartheid" imposed by the Communists and then by the Taliban, died on Sept. 22 at her home in Falls Church, Va. She was 66.
The cause was multiple system atrophy, a rare neurological disease, her nephew Suleiman Wali said.
Ms. Wali had worked for the American Embassy and the Peace Corps in Afghanistan in her 20s before the 1978 coup. She then settled in Washington, where she became a United States citizen and organized Refugee Women in Development, an advocacy group, now dissolved, that sought to empower victims of war and genocide.
She further championed the rights of Afghan women after the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 to rout the Taliban, Islamic fundamentalists whom Washington accused of providing a haven for the terrorists who had masterminded the Sept. 11 attacks.
With the formation of a new Afghan government under United Nations auspices, Ms. Wali successfully lobbied to establish a Ministry of Women's Affairs in Kabul, the country's capital.
The Taliban had stripped women of basic human rights and of previous gains by strictly enforcing Shariah, or Islamic religious law. In the introduction to "Invisible History: Afghanistan's Untold Story" (2009), by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould, Ms. Wali wrote of Afghan women:
"Traumatized and desperate, they constantly spoke of severe poverty, suicide and the growing hopelessness that saw their dreams for a free Afghanistan swallowed by an army of Islamist mercenaries from all over the world armed and supplied by Pakistan."
She added: "I still hear their cries. During this entire time I carried with me their pleading voices and ultimately their screams, while the world looked away."
She concluded, "Afghan women were the canaries in the mine shaft, bearing witness to the inhumanity of a regime against its own citizens."
When she visited Afghanistan in 2005 under a program financed by the National Endowment for Democracy, a Washington foundation, Ms. Wali barely escaped being taken hostage near the Pakistani border by what she described as a mob of armed Taliban insurgents and other fundamentalists.
Still, she insisted that the problem in Afghanistan was not Islam but the Taliban.
"The Taliban is using culture and religion to keep women down," she said in 1998 at a seminar for Afghan refugees in Pakistan, "but there is nothing in my religion that teaches keeping women at home, not educating them, starving them and withholding medical treatment from them so they die."
She added, "Islam teaches us to care for and protect women."
Earlier in the 20th century, the royal family of Afghanistan guaranteed universal suffrage and civil rights to women during one of several experiments with democracy.
The 1978 Communist coup was followed by a Soviet invasion and a 10-year struggle to resist it, then by a civil insurgency that culminated in the withdrawal of Soviet forces and a Taliban victory in 1996. The Taliban regime was overthrown during the American-led assault in 2001, but the war against the guerrillas goes on.
Ms. Wali often criticized the United States for supporting the guerrillas who had fought against the Soviet takeover and then morphed into the Taliban.
Sima Wali was born on April 7, 1951, in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Her father, Mohammad Wali, was manager of the Afghan National Bank and a cousin of King Amanullah Khan, who championed women's rights in the 1920s. Her mother, the former Shafiqa Sharifi, supervised a clothing factory.
Sima spent her early childhood in India, where her father was posted and where she was educated in English. After the family returned to Afghanistan, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration from Kabul University.
She earned a master's in international relations from the School of International Service at American University in Washington. Her parents joined her in Washington after escaping from a Communist jail, where they had been held for a month.
She is survived by two sisters, Sohaila and Soraya Wali, and four brothers, Ahmad, Jahed, Zia and Abdul Wali. Ms. Wali was married at one time, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1987, her family said.
She received the Amnesty International Ginetta Sagan Fund Award in 1999 and the Gloria Steinem Women of Vision Award from the Ms. Foundation for Women in 1989.
In 2001, Ms. Wali was one of three female delegates to a meeting in Germany, sponsored by the United Nations, that led to the Bonn Agreement, which formed a new Afghan government after the American-led invasion and, as she had called for, created a Ministry of Women's Affairs.
In 2002, she spoke at the United Nations' celebration of International Women's Day in New York. She was also a founder of the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, a feminist think tank, based in Montreal.
Ms. Wali was profiled in a 2004 documentary film by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould, "The Woman in Exile Returns: The Sima Wali Story."
"I no longer fear that Afghanistan will again be abandoned," she wrote in 2009. "My fear today is that despite all the initial good intentions, America's overreliance on military methods, targeted missile strikes, chemical spraying, and imprisoning and torturing suspected militants has turned popular opinion in the wrong direction.
"Combined with an inability to improve the lives of the average Afghan by even a small measure," she added, "America is now viewed as an occupier, instead of the friend and ally we want her to be."
A peripatetic self-described "voice for the politically voiceless," Ms. Wali learned of her degenerative neurological disorder in 2005. The disease gradually reduced her mobility and even her ability to speak.

A sunset photo at the end of walking and jogging with my sweet puppy, Lennon. Have learned that running up and down hills in Playa del Rey with camera, keys, Blackberry, puppy on leash and puppy's poop bag is not a combination for comfort and ease. Next time will carry less things during exercise. Had idea - from now on will walk/jog just to walk/jog - then get on bike to tour around and take sunset photos. Goals of 2010: simplify and focus.

Annual salary is one of the most important yardsticks by
which employees measure success and compare themselves to
their peers.
As 2011 draws to a close, businesses get serious about
setting goals that improve their bottom lines for next
Similarly, employees get serious about setting their goals
at this time of the year. Usually at the top of an
employee's list of goals is "improve my bottom line."
HR POINTER: Keeping employees' salaries competitive with
the market is one of the keys to retaining employees.
We know times have been tough and most businesses have
been unable to provide salary increases, but now is the
time to do a "Pay Scale Checkup" or at least begin
planning for compensation and other changes to help retain
valuable employees in 2012.
We offer a Pay Scale Checkup for 2012 that includes:
1) A Pay Scale Worksheet for you to complete and return to
us for analysis, AND
2) A one (1) hour consultation (on-site or via phone) to
discuss our analysis and address specific issues in your
distribution of salaries related to:
*Equal Pay
*Anchor vs. Non-Anchor Jobs
*Market Availability of Anchor Jobs
*Market Rates and Benchmarks for Anchor Jobs
*Financial Strategies for Rewarding A-Players
*Non-Financial Strategies for Rewarding A-Players
*Compensating B-Players While Maintaining Motivation
*Pay Grade Differentiation Between Managers and Employees.
The Pay Scale Checkup is a one-time investment of $95.
If you are interested in learning more about our Pay Scale
Checkup, please contact our Member-Partner in your

With the new year usually comes resolutions. I have NEVER made a news years resolution. This year is no different.
I did start weight watchers last week but that had nothing to do with the new year. I just quit breastfeed Rush so now I can change my diet. I could have done weight watchers while I was breast feed but I didn't know that. I didn't want to go on a diet. I just wanted to learn how to eat better and less. This seemed like a good program for that. Plus I am doing it through Sean's work so I only had to pay half price, which is why I am doing it, and it just so happened that it started right after the new year.
So wish me luck! It is really hard, I love eating too much. I really hope that I can stick to this and that it will do me some good. Even if I don't lose weight, which hopefully I will, it is teaching me what is healthy and stuff.
So other then that the new year faces us with moving into our new home. Then after that we have the yard to get in and other house stuff to work out. That is all that has been on my mind lately so it is hard for me to see too far into the future. Sean and I are going on a vacation to California in Feb. without the kids, which is a huge first! I am so excited!! Altough I am afraid to leave our kids for so long.

One advantage of an expatriate's life is the exposure one gets to other cultures, especially for children who study in international schools. Last week we were at the Cultures Day event of Sohini's school, the Copenhagen International School. Children and parents of different countries put together tables (stalls) presenting their cultures: their food, clothing, artifacts, music, peoples and languages, and much more. It was colourful and educational, to say the least. We helped our friends to set up an Indian table too, and it was one of the most popular in the event. It was interesting to see the little kids' eyes lit up with amazement when you tell them that India is a huge country the size of 75 Denmarks, and schools teach in some 50 different languages.

Crypto Projects Are Not Very Decentralized, Claims New Yahoo Finance Report
Cryptocurrencies rose to fame while talking about decentralization, but a new analysis by Token Analyst for Yahoo Finance UK claims otherwise.
It suggests that of the top 50 currencies by trading volume*, the top 20 wallets hold an average of 78% of all coins.
This shows how centralized token holdings are which appears to counter the decentralized vision these projects aim to achieve.
Is Decentralization a Myth?
A select few may have more control over a decentralized network than the average crypto enthusiast may imagine.
Across the top 50 currencies by trading volume, the top 20 wallets get an undue power over the rest of the community as they hold an average of 78% of all coins.
In 16 cases, the 20 biggest wallets were holding over 90% of the total token supply, revealing how centralization works in the background of decentralized crypto networks.
Interestingly, a majority of the coins were issued to fund new companies that will use the tokens in their projects. However, Token Analyst's Jai Prasad said that many of these projects did not even need crypto technology for their ideas to begin with.
However, it must be noted that one crypto wallet, like at a cryptocurrency exchange, could hold the tokens of many people, as Yahoo Finance reported:
Token Analyst's Prasad said that the figures were likely boosted by the fact that many crypto investors hold their tokens on crypto exchanges, rather than opening their own wallets. That means the digital wallets of exchanges will be swelled by the holdings of many of their customers.
More Details From the Token Analyst Study
Token Analyst pointed to a high degree of centralization in token distribution across the top 50 ERC20 standard tokens (tokens created on the Ethereum blockchain).
This included several high-end projects like Maker, Binance Coin, Augur, and 0x Protocol.
However, Prasad noted that the centralization in top 20 wallets could be a result of people holding their coins with crypto exchanges.
He noted that this is a bad sign for the industry as people are likely speculating on prices rather than buying tokens to use on their respective networks.
He noted:
"If 20 addresses (including the token team and exchanges) own 80% of the tokens, this tells me a few things: 1. Pre-sale investors got in early at large discounts; 2. No one is interested in using the network, and the tokens are used purely for speculation, and 3. future governance (crypto buzzword) will be at the beck and call of few."
Prasad continued to say that ICOs provide token holders a promise of participation in the governance of the network.
If a few wallets hold most of the total supply, changes could be forced on the network. If the characteristics of being permissionless and censorship-resistant networks are absent, then we "probably don't need a crypto network, to begin with," he claims.

I'm currently in the middle of a publicity campaign for my first book, The Idiot Brain. And yes, that previous sentence is part of it. It's about all the things the human brain does weirdly, illogically and just plain wrong. As a result, I've ended up talking to a lot of people about the brain, from Libby Purves to Steve Wright to Tim Lovejoy, so I've been asked many questions about it.
However, these people are professionals; it's when you take questions from the general public or more "alternative" media, that's when things get bizarre. My favourites so far are:
- Which are smarter, tigers or wolves?
- How does astrology work?
- Do we have free will or not?
- Why do I have epilepsy?
- What's up with vaccines?
- My laptop wasn't working and I had a dream about how to fix it, and I tried the fix and it worked, so how did that happen?
Technically, I'm not trained to answer these question (assuming answers even exist). For the record, I've a PhD in memory processing. Obviously, if I'm going to put myself out there as an authority on things then I should expect questions. A fair point.
However, even during school and university, I'd regularly get asked things I had no ability to answer. They often weren't even about neuroscience, but things like "how do radio waves travel through space?", or "if evolution is true, why don't people have wings?" (That last one is real).
Other scientists I've spoken to report similar, regular occurrences. It's just something people do. If you're a doctor, people you meet ask you to look at their rashes/lumps. If you're a comedian, people you meet say "tell us a joke". And if you're a scientist, people assume you know all science, something which would likely require several lifetimes of study.
In truth, most professional scientists are very specialist. This is true for most fields of expertise. If you meet a professional historian who specialises in the Victorian era, asking them how ancient Egyptians stored their grain would be illogical. Maybe this does happen to historians? I can't say. It happens to scientists though.
So where does this "scientists know all science" preconception come from? And why does it persist? As ever, there are numerous possible contenders.
The human brain
I just published a book about the brain (did I mention that already?) so I tend to blame it for many of life's woes. But the ways in which it handles information could lead to this weird preconception of the omniscient scientist. Our brains, in fairness, have to deal with a lot of information, so often uses short cuts and generalisations, things like heuristics.
Heuristics are basically the brain's way of using short cuts when it comes to decision making and problem solving. How we categorise the information we encounter is tricky enough as it is, but heuristics help us just clump information together in functionally useful ways.
You can see how this would lead to inaccuracies or even prejudices though. In this case, if someone struggles to understand science, they would mentally lump the totality of it together as "stuff I don't understand". Same goes for encountering scientists, they may label them as "people who understand things I don't" without any of the specifics or nuances of it.
However, these preconceptions are likely to originate from somewhere.
If you study science, you get more and more specific the further you progress. But everyone starts off with the basics, and, in the UK at least, at a young age you get taught "science". So you start off with this notion that science is just one "thing", and have to gradually figure out otherwise.
However, despite the debate over what age is best to start formal education, nobody argues that the things you learn at a very young age are extremely important and shape your development and later life. However, the existence of countless STEM campaigns and organisations reveals that it's a lot of work to get children interested in science and related subjects. Would it be surprising then, if many people never really move on from the "science as one homogenous lump" phase due to a disinterest in science, and regard scientists as interchangeable as a consequence?
The media
How scientists are portrayed in the media probably doesn't help either. Look at any new discovery or development or even just a quirky bit of trivia reported in the mainstream, and it invariably begins with "scientists have discovered…" or "Scientists claim…" or "According to scientists…" and so on.
You seldom get this in any other field. The latest government initiative does not begin with "Politicians have decided…" The sports news doesn't tell us that "Football teams played football yesterday, with around half of them winning". Any study or finding worth mentioning is invariably attributed to all scientists everywhere, so it's understandable if the average reader ends up thinking they're one and the same.
There's also the narrative of the "lone genius" too, which is a popular one. Your usual lesson or story about scientists typically focus on a single, brilliant (invariably male) intellectual, changing the world via his all-encompassing genius. While this makes for an inspiring narrative, it's a far cry from the collaborative effort most science is the result of.
And this doesn't even include fictional scientists. Sherlock, House MD, Tony Stark, Dana Scully, Donatello, Brains, Seven of Nine, even Velma, it seems you can't go 10 minutes in pop culture fiction without encountering some genius who knows everything about everything, usually in very helpful and plot-relevant ways. This is bound to rub off on some people in the real world.
Other scientists
Of course, this whole thing would be easier if it weren't for actual scientists actively making matters worse. Some scientists, maybe unintentionally, often make declarations about other fields which don't stack up with what the evidence says. I know I've done it myself in previous posts, judging by the comments I've had. I see it often, in pop science books where the author strays into issues of psychology and neuroscience, areas that they aren't that familiar with but which need to be addressed in order to provide a coherent narrative. In many ways, books are maybe not the best format to communicate how science works.
Except mine of course, mine is great.
But also, sadly, you get the scientists who achieve influence and prestige (maybe by taking more credit than they deserve) who start to believe their own press, and end up making declarations about fields beyond their own, using confidence instead of actual awareness of how things work.
A very recent example came from the Guardian itself with an article by Oliver James, about how genetics don't influence intelligence. Whatever James's skills as a psychologist, his genetics knowledge seems, at best, seriously limited, as several scientists have pointed out. But he has a platform, so must be right, yeah?
Fact is, the idea that scientists know all science is a useful one for many, so isn't disputed, maybe even actively encouraged. If scientists really did know everything, they'd know how to stop this. But they don't. So they don't.

What a load of rubbish……………. we saw at Carymoor Environmental Centre, Dimmer, Castle Cary. A small group of inquisitive rotarians and guests enjoyed a short but interesting visit.
After a brief introduction to the creation of the site, by Karen from the Carymoor team, we went to the landfill by car, it's a big site! On the way we stopped at the new 'Going Underground' display where cross sections of the landfill, across the last 4 decades, depicted the nature of rubbish which we all discard in our dustbins. In the 70's we were throwing away vinyl records, nappies and space hoppers and more recently complete laptop computers have been found in dustbins!
At the landfill site, which is due to be closed in 2021, we saw the vast amounts of waste, waiting to be buried, which was being scavenged by gulls and crows. Eventually this will all be capped with a metre depth of clay, any methane produced will be taken off and the land will be returned as a nature reserve.
There was so much more to see, unfortunately time was against us, and perhaps a longer visit in the future will be arranged.
You can help to cut down on waste, remember REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE…………

problems starting a service on win 2000
By scott.pecher ·
A client had issues with Firebird version 1.5.2 and in trouble shooting I attempted to restart the service but it hung at a status of stopping, and rebooting would not clear it out. I tried to uninstall firebird but that still left the service stopping, I got the service removed but using the command instsvc r and after a reboot the service was gone. Now I have downloaded firebird from their website and the install stops at starting the service. I have tried to install it using the instsvc i -g command. How can I get this installed or is there something with the server that needs to be corrected?

THE Westin brand's home base may be the United States but the spread of its properties is set to change, with 90 per cent of its pipeline properties coming up outside the US.
Specifically, the Asia-Pacific region has become its second-largest division; 41 of the brand's global total of nearly 200 hotels are now located in 12 countries in the region.
[quote align="center" color="#666666"]Westin is making a return to Singapore through a 305-room hotel in Marina Bay. Spanning levels 33 to 46 of Asia Square Tower 2, The Westin Singapore is set to open its doors in November.[/quote]
The American brand, owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, managed The Westin Stamford and The Westin Plaza here until its management contract expired in late 2001. (The two hotels are now Swissôtel The Stamford and Raffles The Plaza respectively.)
Starwood's regional vice-president for South- east Asia Chuck Abbott said: "It's very important for us to be back in Singapore. We are growing significantly in the Asia-Pacific and around the world, and this will be a milestone of a hotel that will open up in one of the key destinations in the world."
Indeed, the Asia-Pacific continues to be a driver of Westin's growth as the brand readies itself to open some 21 properties in the region.
China is its fastest-expanding market, with 17 properties in operation and up to 18 in different stages of construction and due to open in the next two to three years.
Besides China, Mr Abbott counts India, Indonesia and the Philippines among Westin's key markets.
He believes that the regional outlook for Westin is robust, particularly in South-east Asia, where the brand has recorded positive growth year after year.
"We expect that trend to continue," he added, citing the substantial growth of the middle class in the region and the globalisation of businesses as factors that will continue to fuel demand from both leisure and corporate clients.
But Mr Abbott made it clear that Westin will not grow just for the sake of growing. "We want to grow strategically and we want to be in the right location," he said.
He described The Westin Singapore as a manifestation of this belief; it took the American brand more than a decade to seek and settle on an ideal location and on a suitable owning partner to bring the brand back to the Republic.
And while it is part of Starwood's growth strategy to ensure that it has the right brands in each destination, Mr Abbott does not rule out bringing in more of Starwood's brands to Singapore under the right conditions.
He said: "We have nine brands, so we'll continue to look at opportunities in Singapore and in South-east Asia from a development standpoint."
Starwood has three brands in Singapore - Sheraton Towers Singapore, The St Regis Singapore and W Singapore - Sentosa Cove.

New Westin hotel to open here on Nov 1
A NEW Westin hotel will open here after the chain's absence of more than 10 years, with up to 300 jobs expected to be created.
[quote align="center" color="#999999"]The 305-room Westin Singapore on levels 33 to 46 of Asia Square Tower 2 will be the first integrated upscale hotel in an office building in Singapore.[/quote]
It will have floor-to-ceiling windows and overlook Marina Bay. There will also be 10 meeting rooms.
The hotel started a two-day recruitment drive at Asia Square yesterday in preparation for the Nov 1 opening.
Mr Chuck Abbott, the regional vice-president of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, said yesterday: "We are delighted to re-establish our presence in Singapore after more than a decade away.
"In addition to helping boost the local economy and labour market by generating career opportunities, we are confident that the Westin brand and its renowned service culture will make a positive contribution to the service industry here."
Mr Lance Ourednik, the general manager of the hotel here, said staff will have fitness activities and a games and recreation room, among other benefits.
Westin used to manage the Westin Stamford and Westin Plaza - from their opening here in 1986 until the end of
2001, when the hotels' management contract expired.
The then Raffles Holdings hotel management arm, Raffles International, took over the running of the two hotels, which are now called Fairmont Singapore and Swissotel The Stamford.
The two hotels are next to Raffles City.
The Westin Singapore is part of Westin Hotels & Resorts and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Starwood Hotels & Resorts is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The hotel here is part of the growing portfolio of nearly 200 Westin outlets worldwide and one of about 40 in the Asia Pacific.

Patrick Bevin out of CCC's roster for Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road RaceJan 25 2019 07:53 am CET
CCC Team © Mary Cárdenas / CyclingPub.com
CCC Team will start with six riders instead of seven at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. Patrick Bevin couldn't recover on time to appear at the WorldTour race.
Bevin crashed at the penultimate stage of the Tour Down Under while he was wearing the leader's jersey and even though he didn't suffer any fractures, he hasn't recovered from the contusions and bruises he suffered on time for the race.
"We have made the decision to leave Patrick Bevin at home in order to recover properly from his injuries after crashing badly at the Santos Tour Down Under last week," said Sports Director Jackson Stewart.
"This close to the race, we are unable to bring another rider in from Europe so we will line up with six riders on Sunday. Although we are a man down, we have six motivated and strong riders ready to race, all of whom showed great form in Adelaide."
But CCC has several options for the Australian one-day race. "The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race presents a tough course but it usually comes down to a reduced sprint," Stewart explained.
"We have Jakub Mareczko and Szymon Sajnok for this scenario, two fast riders who can certainly be up there if they are on the right side of the move in the finale, as well as Víctor de la Parte, ?ukasz Owsian, Joey Rosskopf, and Francisco Ventoso, who are all quite suited to the rolling terrain and can try for a breakaway or solid attack in the finale. We will look to race aggressively and make the most of our last race in Australia."
CCC Team's complete roster for the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (January 27):
Víctor de la Parte
Jakub Mareczko
?ukasz Owsian
Joey Rosskopf
Szymon Sajnok
Francisco Ventoso

Yes, we know quitting smoking is easier said than done, but in case you're not yet fully convinced, scientists have found that smokers' lung cells can develop a whopping 150 new genetic mutations every year—something you should be really wary about, since genetic mutations can lead to cancer. Yikes.
When it comes to boobs, there's usually no such thing as too big…except when it comes to amusement park rides. 22-year-old Tanya Willis, the proud owner of a pair of 36Ls (WHAT?!), got kicked off a roller coaster after the ride's safety bar wasn't able to lock due to her curves. That's a big dilemma!

Opening Up for 5G and Beyond: Open Source and White Box Will Support New Data Demands
As much as some people might think it's just a question of bolting some new radios to towers and calling it a day, the truth is that 5G requires an entirely new approach to designing and building networks.
Why the mobile edge needs open source to overcome its pitfalls (Reader Forum)
Edge computing dominated MWC 2019 along with 5G and all the robots at the show. In fact, according to some analysts, edge computing could be worth almost $7 billion within the next three years. Much of the new architecture's advantages stem from the capacity offered by 5G to deploy scalable, typically cloud-based, compute platforms at the edge of the network. However, a growing number of operators are coming across a challenge when they look to scale services to the edge – portability is a headache.
Q&A: T-Systems' Clauberg says industry needs more collaboration
t last week's Open Networking Summit in San Jose, California, Axel Clauberg spoke about the need for collaboration between the open source groups and SDOs ahead of a Friday morning panel that was comprised of many of the leaders of those organizations.
At this start of this year, Clauberg slid over from his role as Deutsche Telekom's vice president, aggregation, transport, IP (TI-ATI) and infrastructure cloud architecture, to Deutsche Telekom's enterprise division, T-Systems. At T-Systems, Clauberg holds the title of vice president, strategic portfolio management and CTO of telecommunications services.
Clauberg serves as the chairman of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) and he also worked at Cisco for 13 years. All in all, Clauberg has seen the industry from various points of view over the years, which validates his call for more industry collaboration.
10 operators, including AT&T and Verizon, align around creating task force for NFVi
There are numerous attempts afoot to wrestle NFV into a more manageable and workable approach to virtualization.
Last week at the Open Networking Summit, some of the carrier members of a new effort around simplifying network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVi) presented their approach on a panel.
The group, which is called Common NFVi Telco Task Force, is comprised of AT&T, Bell Canada, China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Jio, Orange, SK Telecom, Telstra, Verizon and Vodafone.
Currently, there are too many types of NFVi floating around, which means virtual network functions (VNFs) vendors need to create multiple versions of their VNFs to work with the different flavors of NFVi. The Common NFVi Telco Task Force is taking aim at reducing the number of NFVi implementations down to three or four versions, according to AT&T's Amy Wheelus, vice president of network cloud.
Ericsson and AT&T give network slicing an open source boost
The Linux Foundation's annual Open Networking Summit (ONS) has become of rising interest to the mobile and telco community as the open source organization has become increasingly focused on telecoms networks. There will be coverage of the highlights in next week's edition of Wireless Watch, but one development caught our eye even before the event started on Wednesday. This was a demonstration of network slicing, harnessing the capabilities of the open source ONAP (Open Network Automation Protocol) software, which handles the management and orchestration (MANO) of all the components in a virtualized network.
Telcos need to take ownership of open source or risk losing a golden opportunity
Of the 14 keynote sessions at last week's Open Networking Summit (ONS) North America in San Jose, only two featured communications service providers. AT&T CTO Andre Fuetsch spoke about open source's role in 5G, and China Mobile Chief Scientist Junlan Feng spoke about open source for network-based AI. This is no means a criticism of organisers The Linux Foundation and its LF Networking group, but it is a reflection of how the broader telco community has yet to fully accept the strategic importance of open source. Yes, many CSPs are involved in various open source projects, and some are heavily invested and supportive, but as yet there has been a reluctance to step up and take more control over the direction and scope of these projects. Whether it is fear or ignorance that is holding them back, CSPs must do more. After all, the majority of these projects are specifically aimed at, or relevant for, telecoms networks – ONAP, OPNFV, Akraino, Open Daylight, etc – with many others about to become essential, such as Kubernetes and the work of the CNCF. And there are many other open source foundations and groups focused on telecoms to consider.
Telco white-box switches receive a boost as ONF takes on P4
AT&T, which has been leading the use of white box switch and routers and seeding much of the source code to the open source community, developed its own home-rolled dNOS network operating system, which has now become the DANOS project within The Linux Foundation. But there is a second option available, which has been developed by the P4.org group. The eponymously named P4 programming language describes how switches, routers and NICs process packets across white box hardware.

Kenyang ll,
I am so happy you pointed out how this war started at the first place. It's SPLM leadership which caused this war to start. It's Reik, Pagan, Nyandeeng and Majak Agoot who came out openly and wanted to push Kiir away from presidency before the election. This is what caused the war, but some anti-Dinka find a room to blame Dinka tribe.

AHBIM per l'analisi stratigrafica dell'architettura storica.
According to potentialities given by BIM (Building Information Modeling) procedures, in the last 10 years many experimentations have been conducted on BIM application to Architectural Heritage (AHBIM). BIM software are tools for information computing and management of buildings in the three-dimensional space. Aim of the paper is to study how BIM models can favor architectural stratigraphic analysis. A workflow for 3D modeling of Stratigraphic Units of the Masonry is proposed; this three-dimensional representation can aid the documentation and the analysis of the construction phases. The case study is the church of St. Vittorino near L'Aquila (4th-12th-18th centuries), characterized by important modification and stratification processes. The church has been surveyed by laser-scanning and digital photogrammetry, consequently a dedicated BIM model has been realized for Stratigraphic Units study.
