Cinematographer Steve Elkins announced last week that by using LiDAR (light detection and ranging), he discovered "what appears to be evidence of archaeological ruins in an area long rumored to contain the legendary lost city of Ciudad Blanca." The phrasing "lost city" is problematic, however: it's hard to lose a city when the city itself is a myth.
The mapping project, conducted over 40 hours split between seven flights during April and May, was led by Elkins' group, UTL Scientific. Participants include the thriller writer Douglas Preston, who is the former editor at the American Museum of Natural History. The project took place in conjunction with the government of Honduras with the help of technicians from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping and professors from the University of Houston.
The tech
The LiDAR survey covered the history-rich northeastern Mosquitia region of Honduras. They overflew the area, sending "25 to 50 laser pulses per square meter—a total of more than four billion laser shots" to the ground, according to the University of Houston, and capturing differences in elevation of as little as four inches. This process can look underneath forest canopies, producing a 3D map of areas in hours or days that an overland, machete-hacking expedition might take years to do.
The UTL survey employed an Optech Gemini Airborne Laser Scanner aboard a Cessna 337 Skymaster plane overflying 923 square kilometers at a height of 600 to 1,000 meters above the ground. According to UTL, 4 billion LiDAR "shots" were fired at a pulse rate of 125KHz.
Modern, high-intensity LiDAR is a recent innovation. The first archaeologists to use it to startling effect were Arlen and Diane Chase at Caracol in Belize, mapping more ground in four days, they said, than they had in their previous 25 years of exploration of the area.
Chris Fisher, as we detailed in a previous article, used it to extend the breadth and establish the importance of the Purepechan city of Sacapu Angamuco in western Mexico.
The problem
Now comes Ciudad Blanca, and the conflation of the ruins of the city the group found with a mythological city is ringing some alarm bells with a number of archaeologists.
Berkeley archaeologist Rosemary Joyce titled her post on the discovery "Good science, bad hype, bad archaeology." Making the rounds in the scientific community, Joyce's post takes the principals to task for not making archaeologists with a history in the area part of the team. The archaeologists, she claims, would never allow such implications to be released. However, Elkins denies that he has done so.
"I have never claimed to have discovered the legendary city of Ciudad Blanca," Elkins told Ars. "I have only stated that we found what appear to be significant archaeological ruins in an area that (according to legend) could be the location of the fabled site.... More often than not, legends have a kernel of truth in them. Perhaps one day someone will be able to say conclusively whether or not (or to what degree) there is any factual credence to the stories about Ciudad Blanca."
So perhaps all the blame for that trope lies with journalists. Certainly a lot of it does. However, it's hard to imagine that Mr. Elkins included mention of the mythic city in his press release with no idea that it would find a purchase in the public imagination. His above statement seems to indicate it has found some purchase in his.
Ground truthing
Although Professor Joyce makes a good case for the utility of her profession's exacting standards, she also comes close to dismissing the technology involved. "LiDAR can produce images of landscapes faster than people walking the same area, and with more detail. But that is not good archaeology, because all it produces is a discovery—not knowledge," she wrote. "If it's a competition, then I will bet my money on people doing ground survey. And I will be betting less money: LiDAR is expensive. And I question the value you get for the money it costs."
Fisher and the Chases, who have used the technology, have made the case for LiDAR marking a "tipping point" in archaeology. They contend that it is far from just another technology, subordinate to the tyranny of pick and shovel. And if archaeologists can find more in four days of LiDAR flyovers than they could in 25 years on the ground, as Chase asserted, it is demonstrably cheaper.
Elkins said he hopes future steps in his organization's exploration will include "ground truthing" the LiDAR data, as per Joyce's admonition.
"We are hoping to organize a multi-disciplinary scientific ground exploration of some of the areas we have surveyed in cooperation with the Honduran government. Archaeologists will be an integral part of the team and it will be up to them to decide what it is the LiDAR imagery revealed."
Technology is making it possible for those with a passionate interest in history—but no grounding in the rigors of archaeology as a discipline—to make huge-scale discoveries. But those folks can also allow their imaginations to take the lead. Elkins and the Ciudad Blanca situation are reminiscent of the filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici ("The Naked Archaeologist"), who regularly announces discoveries made and mysteries solved, despite the disagreement of many, if not most, in the scientific community.
So it might also be accurate to say that, just as the technology can overwhelm those without the necessary knowledge to evaluate it, it can also allow non-specialists to push past the threshold of reliability.

In another sign that resistance to better, science-based practices will eventually have to yield, a news report indicates that a member of the South Carolina has introduced a bill that would require police to record interrogations of suspects.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Todd Rutherford of Columbia, "would require judges to instruct jurors that they could 'draw an adverse inference' if a law enforcement officer failed to record the questioning of a suspect unless there was an equipment failure." That required instruction would effectively require that the police record interrogations, because jurors would hear from the court that the interrogation might be suspicious.
Even if the bill does not pass, the significance of the proposal is hard to miss. An increasing number of states and jurisdictions require recording of interrogations under various circumstances (see the Innocence Project's map here), and the research shows that the recording requirement does not harm the investigation process. In fact, recording turns out to be a great help to the police overall. The research of Thomas Sullivan on the practical effects of recording has been particularly insightful and helpful on this issue, and academics such as Richard Leo, Saul Kassin, and Richard Ofshe have made tremendous contributions in the area of false confessions and why recording can help.
More to the point, South Carolina would not be viewed by anyone as a jurisdiction that has been particularly favorable to defendants on criminal justice issues. The fact that the legislature in South Carolina now has a proposal to consider on recording interrogations means that, little by little, we are nearing a tipping point, which will bring us closer to what the scientific research shows us.

Several energy efficiency retrofit programs for multifamily buildings have started up recently. New York, California and British Columbia are locations that I know of, but I'm sure there are others. In addition, some of these regions are looking at updating their energy codes for multifamily buildings. And layered on top on that are the multiple market conditions - for example landlord vs. tenant split incentives, tenant advocacy, investor, intermediary managers, IEQ - that can greatly affect our ability to retrofit multifamily buildings. These are the issues and societal context within which we need to operate. Please share your stories and suggestions in this discussion thread.

Add Wisconsin to your list. Focus On Energy (statewide EE program) has had a robust MF element for almost a decade. Our office is one year into a two-year project to weatherize 100 buildings comprising 6,000 units.
The weatherization work is VERY complicated -- as this group develops. I'll pump into it some of our experiences AND our dillemmas!
Don Hynek
Wisconsin Division of Energy Services
Thank you Don. I didn't know about the Focus On Energy program. I'm looking forward to hearing more.
Norm Bourassa.
Mutlifamily Weatherization?? Who knew?
The National Weatherization Training Conference (Decmeber 12 to 15) is actually running an entire track on weatherizing MFBs. I'll be there discussing blower door testing in MFBs. And, by then, there's a good chance we will be well along on our task to begin an effectiveness study of Wisconsin's MF Wx program. (This first half will focus on typical measures/typical costs.
Anyone else planning to be there??
Too true. I have seen the NYSERDA studies. I also found a couple of academic/economic studies in the same vein. They report savings on the low side of the NYSERDA numbers; generally around 15%.
That said, yes, master metering is generally a bad idea, whether your goal is effeciency OR occupant behavior that supports efficient use of energy. It's a little cheaper to build a building this way. However, it does shelter low-income tenants from fluctuating energy costs AND from utility shut-offs. We see it mostly in very low income apartments, where living units are very small and where occupant demographics don't support a whole lot of energy-hogging appliances. (Wisconsin outlawed master metering in the late 70s.)
And, it's a problem that can be approached effectively only through building codes. It's almost impossible to undo a master meter configuration once the building is built and occupied. (There are comapnies out there that will sub-meter in various technological ways without re-wiring, but that costs, too.) You not only have to re-wire the building, but you also have to re-structure the entire business model for the property and its rents.
There is a downside -- once you meter individual apartments, it's a LOT more justifable to use electric baseboard heat. Bad idea. It's not just that it's the least environmentally-friendly space heating system possible! It also shifts the space heating cost to the tenant and subjects them to wide swings in electric costs through the year. In the low-income units I deal with that, that's how you end up with the tenant "heating" the unit with their gas stove -- CO poisoning be damned!
Our proposed incentive for submetering MF buildings was shot down due to the unpopular idea of shifting costs to tenants. Even though tenants will adsorb fuel costs either way, it seams utility programs fear the bad PR that goes along with a perceived cost being passed on to tenants.
I worked on a project a few years ago where the owner decided to submeter his 100-year-old mid-rise on his own dime. He left the wall of meters exposed in an interior hallway so that tenants would take notice of the spinning meters.
A popular trend here is submetering water/sewer.
The problem is that everyone assumes that if the tenant doesn't write a check themselves, they don't pay the utility bill. In most buildings, nothing could be farther from the truth -- the tenants always pay, one way or the other.
When the utility check that the owner writes gets bigger, any/all of the below happen;
1) the rent goes up
2) maintenance gets deferred
3) security is addressed by making building access more difficult, not by making systems easier to use
3) upgrades (cosmetic, comfort) get deferred
4) tenant selectivity goes down/ "problem" tenants or tenants that don't fit in become more common
5) resident programs/amenities disappear.
Any of these affect the existing tenants negatively. Whether or not tenants pay the utilities, tenants always pay the utilities. MF programs would be a lot simpler if this could become the accepted wisdom in our world.

Last update: May 22, 2018
The GroupCamp Billing and Payment Policy is an appendix part of GroupCamp's Terms of Service (« ToS ») which is a binding Agreement between GroupCamp and the Customer.
If you are using GroupCamp in conjunction with a service operated by a third party, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
The current definitions come in addition to the definitions already described in the GroupCamp ToS.
« Prepaid Account » : The Customer has a Prepaid account in a currency supported by GroupCamp. Invoices are charged against the Prepaid Account in the working currency of the account.
« Form of payment » : To add funds on the Prepaid Account, the Customer may use as a form of payment 1) a VISA or MASTERCARD cards 2) bank transfer or wire transfer.
« Subscription Amount » refers to the total Amount Due by the Customer in the chosen currency, at the Anniversary Date. The Amount Due is equal to te sum of all monthly fees for each Offering and Plan subscribed to by the Customer in the Account. If the Customer is subject to VAT, the applicable VAT rate is calculated and applied.
« Anniversary Date » corresponds to the date at which a debit charge for the Amount Due is made to the Prepaid Account of the Customer. An Anniversary Date starts the first minute of that day.
The « Subscription Period » of an Offering starts at the effective date of payment of the Subscription Amount by the Customer and ends at the Anniversary Date
The « Trial Period » of an Offering starts immediately after the Customer subscribes to the offering and ends at the next Anniversary Date. During this period, the Offering is free and the Customer may change the subscribed Plan at any time.
The « Cancellation Period » for an Offering is the period during which an Offering is still present in the Account but is accessible only to the Customer and the End-users to export the Content of the Account. This Period starts at the Anniversary Date which comes after the cancellation order and ends at the next Anniversary Date. The duration of the Cancellation Period is therefore approximately one month.
An Offering in « Billing Exemption Period » means that GroupCamp will not charge the Customer for its subscription to this Offering in the Account. GroupCamp will notify the Customer prior to the end of the exemption period. At the end of a Billing Exemption period, the Offering will then move into Free Trial Period of 1 month, during which the Customer may cancel the Offering.
« Currency » GroupCamp accepts payments in both Euros and US Dollars. For Customers with business addresses in a member country of the European Union(EU), payments have to be made in Euros. The pricing for GroupCamp offerings is available in both Euros or US Dollars. The conversion rate used by GroupCamp does not take into account the real rate of public currency markets and can be changed in GroupCamp's sole discretion.
« VAT » means Value Added Tax.
The VAT rate for terms herein is the French VAT rate of 20%. Invoices for companies with business addresses in France will include VAT.
Customers with a business address in a member country of the European Union and for whom GroupCamp has an intra-community VAT number verified by the VIES services, will not be subject to VAT. When the intra-community VAT number is missing or not verified by the VIES services, the VAT rate of your country of residence apply.
Customers with a business address NOT in a member country of the European Union are not subject to VAT.
During the Free Trial Period, the Customer and End-Users may try all the Offerings in all the available Plans for free.. Using the Account menu, the Customer can subscribe to or remove an Offering from an Account or change the Plan of one Offering.
The Free Trial Period following an Account creation starts once the Account is created and ends approximately 30 days later at the first Anniversary Date.
All Offerings and Plans subscribed to by the Customer in the Account are to be paid in advance for usage of the service during the forthcoming month (Service Prepayment). Payment is made by charging the Prepaid Account of the Customer at the Anniversary Date.
With the Account menu, the Customer has access to all the features described herein. At any time the Customer may decide to
The next Anniversary Date is displayed in the Account menu together with the Subscription Amount due.
Usage of the GroupCamp Service is subject to payment at the beginning of the monthly cycle. Once the Prepaid Account is charged, the invoice is sent for usage of the Service during the forthcoming month, irrespective of usage of the Service by the Customer and/or its End-users. GroupCamp does not provide any refund, if the Service is used and/or not used.
During the Subscription Period, if the Customer decides to subscribe to a lower plan (which implies lower fees), GroupCamp will not provide any refund, full or pro-rated, for the difference between the monthly fees of the two plans. GroupCamp recommends that the Customer requests downgrades immediately before the end of a Subscription Period so as to make the most of the paid subscribed Plan.
In the event of a billing inaccuracy by GroupCamp in the calculation of the Subscription Amount or a failure in the billing process between GroupCamp's payment service provider and the credit card company of the Customer, GroupCamp will proceed, to a refund of the extra amount which was wrongly perceived. For GroupCamp to proceed to such a refund, the Customer needs to report such inaccuracies to GroupCamp Support 18 months following the occurrence of the inaccuracy.
Refunding the Prepaid Account
The Customer may request the partial or full refund for the funds remaining on the Prepaid Account. GroupCamp will proceed to the refund once the request is received.
Refunding the outstanding amount on a Prepaid Account requires information exchange between GroupCamp and the Customer to determine the best way of proceeding to the refund.
In any event and prior to the refund:
In the event of a lack of prior information on the amount incurred during the transaction, GroupCamp may choose at its sole discretion the form of payment to be used for the refund operation, for instance, payment by check or by Paypal.
Should the Customer decide to stop using GroupCamp Services and an outstanding balance remains on the Prepaid Account the following rules apply:
There are two ways in which payments can occur for a GroupCamp Service:
The Account menu allows the Customer to add a form of payment which is then used to automatically add funds to the Prepaid Account. At each Anniversary Date, if the available amount on the Prepaid Account is not sufficient to pay for the Subscription Amount, GroupCamp automatically charges the Prepaid Account then charges the missing amount to the added Form of Payment of the Customer.
NB: The Prepaid Account can be configured so that up to 10 days before the Anniversary date the Form of Payment present in the Account is automatically charged so that the funds are available on the Prepaid Account on the Anniversary date. This allows the Customer to investigate any payment issues with the form of payment, such as expired credit cards, exceeded payment threshold on card, technical issues and so on before the subscription is renewed.
The Account menu allows the Customer to manually add funds to the Prepaid Account online. The Customer can also access GroupCamp's banking information to add funds to the Prepaid Account by bank transfer (wire transfer).
If there are enough funds on the Prepaid Account, GroupCamp issues an invoice and charges the Prepaid Account for the Subscription amount. The invoice is sent by email to the Customer and archived in the Account menu.
To establish an invoice, GroupCamp uses the information provided by the Customer in the Account application:
The Customer agrees to comply with the ToS and to maintain the Customer's billing information up to date. GroupCamp will not provide any refund for VAT collected by GroupCamp if the Customer information are not up to date at the Anniversary Date.
Once an invoice is issued, GroupCamp cannot proceed to any modification on the said invoice. Changes in billing information provided by the Customer will only be taken into account for the next invoice.
Any banking or payment service charges or fees incurred in the processing of the Payment Method of the Customer will be billable to the Customer or charged against the Prepaid Account of the Customer.
Any change in the currency will be taken into account on the next Anniversary Date. A change of currency implies a change in the Subscription Amount for each Plan of each Offering.
The Customer may request the conversion of the outstanding balance of the Prepaid Account into a new currency. GroupCamp shall communicate to the Customer the conversion rate used in converting the Prepaid Account balance.
Consequences of the absence of sufficient funds on the Prepaid Account
At the Anniversary Date, if the Customer (i) does not have enough funds on the Prepaid Account (ii) has not provided a Form of Payment to automatically add funds to the Prepaid Account (iii) has a valid Form of Payment but which could not be charged by GroupCamp (the transaction is rejected); then all the Offerings in Trial Period or in a Subscription Period will switch to a Cancellation Period. Offerings in Free Plans or in Billing Exemption Period will remain active.
Consequences of declining initially authorized payments.
When a payment is initially authorized by GroupCamp's banking service provider but is then declined for reasons relating to fraud, challenge by the Card holder , lost or cancellation of the credit card, change of ownership of the GroupCamp account, etc…, GroupCamp will immediately suspend the Service and will request payment by the Customer of all unpaid invoices. An unpaid invoice for more than 10 days will result in the Account, including its Content, being deleted by GroupCamp.
If the Service is suspended, the Customer will no longer have access to the Service unless the unpaid invoices are paid for. During the Service suspension, the End-Users will also be denied access to the Service.
The terms of the "Account Termination by GroupCamp" of the ToS will apply.
Establishment of Anniversary Dates and periods duration
The first Anniversary Date comes 30 days after the end of the Free Trial period which follows the account creation.
For payment dates, positioned on 31st, 30th or 29th of a month, if the following month bears fewer days, the Anniversary Date is positioned on the last day of the month.
Therefore, the 30-day Free Trial period can vary from 28 to 31 days. The same applies to Subscription Period and Cancellation Period for all offerings of the service.
Example : If you have subscribed to the service on the 31st of the month:
1) For all months with 31 days, the Anniversary date is the 1st of the month.
2) For all months with only 30 days, the Anniversary Date is the 30th of the month;
3) For February, the Anniversary date will be the 29th and for non-leap years, on the 28th.
Rounding off rules
All calculations regarding fees and Amounts Due are rounded off to (i) the lower cent (hundredth of a Euro or Dollar or second decimal) if the third decimal is strictly smaller than 5, and (ii) the higher cent if the third decimal is greater or equal to 5.
With the Account Application, the Customer can subscribe to one or multiple Offerings.
During the free Trial Period following an Account Creation.
During the Account Creation process, the Customer subscribes to an Offering and a Plan. During this period, the Customer and the End-users can try out all Offerings in all available plans.
During the Subscription Period, Subscription of a new Offering, free Trial Period.
The Customer can subscribe to a new Offering and can try out the new Offering for free up to the next Anniversary Date. The new Offering is then in free Trial Period. To maximize the Free Trial period for a new Offering, GroupCamp recommends that the Customer subscribes to new Offerings at the beginning of a Subscription period.
If the Customer decides not subscribe to the new Offering, that Offering must be removed from the Account BEFORE the next Anniversary Date using the Account Application. If the new Offering is not cancelled before, it will be considered as a requested subscription and the monthly fee for the Plan will be taken into account in the Amount Due at the Anniversary Date.
Re-subscribing to an Offering during the Cancellation Period.
The Customer can re-subscribe to an Offering during the Cancellation Period (that Offering having been previously cancelled). To re-subscribe, the Customer needs to select the Offering and the corresponding Plan in the Account Application. If the selected Plan is lower than the plan which is active during the Cancellation Period, the downgrade is effective if the quota of the lower Plan is met. GroupCamp will proceed to the calculation for the Amount Due :
Example for a re-subscription to a previously cancelled plan priced at 49€ excluding VAT. If the current date is the 21st of January and the Anniversary Date is the 28th (27th at 23h39). The Amount due excluding taxes will be 28-(21+1) x (49 / Number of days of the Subscription period = 31). The result s 9.48 Euros
If the Customer is subject to VAT, the relevant rate will be applied to the Customer. The Customer is then billed and an invoice is sent by email and is archived in the Account Application. The Offering is in Subscription Period up to the next Anniversary Date.
A higher plan for an Offering implies a higher monthly fee for that Offering.
Upon selecting a new Plan for an Offering, GroupCamp calculates the Amount Due up to the next Anniversary Date. The calculation is pro-rated (Amount Due for the new Plan) - (the Amount Due for the old Plan).
Example of calculation for subscription to a new plan priced at 49 Euros up from a plan priced at 19 Euros excluding VAT: Assuming that the current date is the 7th of January and the Anniversary Date is the 26th of January, the Amount Due excluding taxes is ((Number of days remaining up to the Anniversary Date + 1) x (49 - 19) / (Number of days of the on-going Subscription Period). In our example the result is (26 - (7 + 1)) x (49 - 19) / 31)=17.42 Euros excluding VAT.
The Customer confirms the payment online The terms described in the "Payment and Billing" section apply. An invoice is sent by email and archived in the Account Application. The new plan can be used within the Account.
The Customer can upgrade multiple Offerings to a higher plan with a single payment.
A lower Plan for an Offering implies a lower monthly fee for that Offering.
When selecting a lower Plan for an Offering, GroupCamp will verify the following :
If the two conditions above are met, the downgrade becomes effective immediately and cannot be undone. If, immediately after downgrading the Customer decides to upgrade, the « 5.1 Upgrading your Plan » process will apply.
If at least one of the two conditions are not met, the downgrade will not be completed. The Customer will have to adapt its quota for that offering and/or adapt usage of Plan-specific features. The Account Application provides information to the Customer for quota management.
Example of Quota for the Project* Offering : ASSUMPTION : Customer is in Plan PLUS, you have 15 active projects and are using 5GB and you want to downgrade to plan Start (a maximum of 15 projects and 4GB of Storage). You will need to archive or delete 3 projects and delete 1 GB of data (removing documents in the Files application or pages in the WIKI).
Example of plan-specific features for the Project* Offering : the Plus Plan supports the Multi-Company feature. The Start Plan however does not support that feature. Before downgrading from the Plus to the Start Plan, the Customer needs to disable 3 invited companies(disabling users of these companies ; these users will no longer be present in active projects), Projects which are managed by invited companies (The Managing Company for that Project is an invited Company) need to archived or deleted.
GroupCamp does not provide credit, or refund. Please see the Refund section above.
In the Account application, the Customer may cancel an offering.
During the Free Trial period, following the creation of an Account.
When the Customer requests the cancellation of an Offering, the Offering enters the Cancellation Period as from the next Anniversary Date(the next Anniversary Date corresponds to the end of the Free Trial Period)
During the Subscription Period.
If the Customer requests the cancellation of an Offering during a Subscription Period, that Offering remains in Subscription Period up to the next Anniversary Date. At the next Anniversary Date, the Amount due is calculated by subtracting the monthly fee for the cancelled Offering. The Offering then enters the Cancellation Period up to the next Anniversary Date.
Anniversary Date of an Offering During the Cancellation Period.
At the Anniversary Date, the Offering and its Content can no longer be accessed by the Customer and/or its End-users. The Content linked to the Offering is deleted and the deletion cannot be undone. The Offering can be re-subscribed again as a new Offering in the Account Application.
Behavior of applications for Offerings in Cancellation Period
When an Offering is in Cancellation Period, applications for that Offering are in read-only mode. The Customer and its End-Users can no longer add new Content. The Export or Download features will remain active throughout the Cancellation Period.
The Cancellation of an Account is a full termination of the Account. The termination of an Account becomes effective at the Anniversary Date:
When an Account is cancelled, at the Anniversary Date, Offerings and related Content are deleted and cannot be recovered. The Account and its End-Users are deleted. The Access URL for the Account becomes available for another Customer.
The Customer Billing information, the invoicing history and payment are saved by GroupCamp for 10 years. This duration is required by French Law.

Morgan Autrey, Freeport High School graduate of the class of 2012, never knew her abilities could take her so far.
During her senior year of high school, Mike and Kris Moras of Designer Kitchen & Baths, Inc. of Northwest Florida contacted Morgan. They contacted Sharie Smith, Morgan�s technology teacher, to see if she had a student who could work for them to input data, and she said that she had a student in mind that would be excellent for the job.
Only achieving Microsoft office specialist status a year ago, Morgan started work for Designer Kitchen & Baths, Inc. in February of 2012. Mike and Kris Moras had no idea the student selected would make such an impact on their corporation.
The original plan was to have her temporarily assigned to input prices for the new dealer catalog that was going to be used nationwide for their new company, NatureKast. Within a few days of Morgan�s employment, it became apparent to the Moras that she was extraordinary. Morgan came on board exhibiting the skills and professionalism that would take the marketing pieces to the next level.
Instrumental in the early stages of the catalog design, Morgan successfully created and streamlined a complex catalog into a user-friendly design for their NatureKast dealers. The catalog was only the beginning of multiple products she would create for Mike and Kris Moras. During her time there, before the age of 18, Morgan accomplished completing two websites, brochures, and catalogs. Moreover, she created everything for the company by hand.
Her perfectionism led to her drawing out dimensions for products and making order forms from scratch, even adding each check box to make sure they were perfectly placed. All these items are part of two new outdoor product lines: NatureKast Outdoor Cabinetry and InsideOut Hoods. (naturekast.com and insideouthoods.com)
The 17 year old instantly became an integral player on the corporate team. Morgan made decisions and recommendations on all the marketing pieces that were created, so her role as an employee seemed to be more like a colleague. Rarely does someone so young posses the unique ingredients that contribute to change the path of a corporation.
Morgan�s dedication and determination to succeed kept her finding time between school, homework, and the gym to give all the time she could for the company. Morgan says she feels so honored to have had this opportunity, and on top of that to work for such amazing people. Not only did Mike and Kris Moras make her feel like part of the company, but also so did her fellow co-worker Amanda Parrott (aka �commander and chief�).
Morgan said she was so grateful for Sharie Smith to even consider her for the job, and for being a fantastic teacher. Although Morgan has the expertise to do this for a living, she is choosing to follow her aspiration of going into neuroscience research with a background in genetics by studying at the University of South Florida in Tampa, starting in the fall of this year.

Roberts unfazed by solo career
Nicola Roberts has said she is unfazed by the prospect of going solo after Girls Aloud's split because the group have always been happy doing their own thing.
The former member of the girl band said she felt fine about forging ahead with her solo career away from Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding.
She said: "Just because you're in a group, doesn't mean you don't have your own interests.
"You might work with 20 other people and just because you work together every day, it doesn't mean you don't all listen to different music or go to different bars. That's just the way it is."
Asked whether it was a shock when she first didn't have the rest of the band there, she said: "Not really because we had a break in between, and I was 23 when we went on our first little break - that's young.
"I'd already done seven years in the group so when we came back again, it wasn't too unfamiliar."
:: Nicola Roberts is working with Lil-Lets on Becoming A Teen - a campaign that aims to help reassure and educate young girls on the issues they face when going into their teenage years.

I have a love-hate relationship with the new Reminders app in iOS 5.
I like how entering new items is made simple and the interface gradually reveals itself as you become more of a power user. Yet it fails at the most fundamental function—to remind me the important stuff that I entered.
How do I enable badges for due items in Reminders? I couldn't find the setting in Notifications preferences.
Does Reminders app support badges at all?

text: CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eight community health centers sued West Virginia's Medicaid program in federal court late Wednesday, alleging that Medicaid has illegally paid them less than the cost of care for 10 years, jeopardizing their ability to provide needed care."If the situation is not remedied immediately, the very viability of the health centers will be in serious jeopardy," the suit states, "with the ultimate harm to befall the vulnerable populations for whom they care.""It's a serious thing to think about going to litigation with an agency that is also our partner," said Martha Carter, CEO of FamilyCare HealthCenter, which serves about 24,000 patients in Kanawha, Putnam and Boone counties."None of us took this lightly," she said, "but we need to be paid fairly and legally if we are to keep providing quality services."FamilyCare was underpaid about $384,000 in 2009 alone, she said. "That's a substantial amount for our organization."The centers are asking the court to order Medicaid to raise their payments to the federally prescribed level. "We believe that, without relief, irreparable harm will occur...," said Louise Reese, CEO of the West Virginia Primary Care Association.The lawsuit is the latest protest of the state's Medicaid payments. In December, Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital sued Medicaid for underpayment. In November, the University of Virginia medical center stopped accepting West Virginia Medicaid patients, saying it could not afford to treat them because the state pays less than other states do.In a Jan. 21 letter to the health centers, state Department of Health and Human Resources said Medicaid's payments are not illegally low. Federal regulators approved the state's plan in 2001, attorney Susan Perry said.Perry cited a California state court ruling that said dentists are not physicians and therefore adult dental care is not a mandatory Medicaid service.The number of community health center patients is growing fast, Reese said. The federally funded centers must take all patients, regardless of ability to pay.One in five West Virginians -- about 373,000 patients -- now get their primary care through the state's 28 community health centers.About 27.5 percent are insured by Medicaid. "When Medicaid does not pay the cost of care, the centers have to take money from other funds" for people who have no insurance, Reese said.At least eight of every 10 Medicaid dollars are federal. Federal Medicaid sends the money to the state, which then distributes it. Dave Sotak, CEO of New River Health Association in Fayette and Raleigh counties, said Medicaid underpaid his association by about $315,000 in 2009 alone. New River had to extend a line of credit at the end of 2010 to meet its payroll, he said.Rainelle Medical Center has come close to shutting its doors because of Medicaid underpayments, according to CEO Kristi Rader.All this is happening while the state is depending on community health centers to serve tens of thousands more Medicaid patients through federal health care reform, Sotak said. "We can do that, and the state needs us to do that, but we've got to be paid at least cost."In 2014, an estimated 125,000 more West Virginians will become eligible for Medicaid under health care reform. "Many will come to community health centers," Reese said. "That is a major reason why it is very important to resolve this payment issue now."The centers are specifically asking the court to order Medicaid to pay the federally prescribed cost of dental work, vaccines and labs and to stop cutting off payment for psychological services after 10 visits.They are also asking the court to order Medicaid to calculate payment rates by the formula prescribed by federal Medicaid law. At this point, Medicaid is using a formula borrowed from Medicare, which covers less, according to the lawsuit.In her Jan. 21 letter, Perry said federal regulators said West Virginia Medicaid could use Medicare caps and screens if they conduct a thorough financial analysis, to determine appropriateness. According to the lawsuit, there is no evidence they have done so.The lawsuit lists numerous meetings and other attempts by the centers to resolve the issues. "We've got a long record of trying to extend the olive branch," said Andy Wessels, Primary Care Association business director.Medicaid now has a reserve surplus of $360 million, but Medicaid officials say that money will be needed to prevent a deficit, now that federal stimulus funds are gone.The lawsuit has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnson, Reese said. "I hope we will be before the judge within six to eight weeks," the centers' attorney, Edward Waters, said.Waters is a partner with Feldesman Tucker Liefer Fidell of Washington, D.C.The plaintiff centers include FamilyCare, New River, Cabin Creek Health Systems, Minnie Hamilton Health Care System, Inc., Rainelle Medical Center, E.A. Hawse Health Center, Senandoah Valley Medical Systems, and Valley Health Systems.Reach Kate Long at email@example.com or 304-348-1798.

>So, who can dive? Who can't? First, the situation you faced occurs more often than many divers believe. As divers grow older, they may acquire medical conditions or illnesses. Your case involved cardiovascular disease, which is common among older divers. Unless divers are committed to a regular fitness program and periodic medical exams, they may not even be aware that they have a potentially serious cardiovascular problem.
>The first sign or symptom of cardiovascular disease can be chest pain - or your first heart attack. DAN diving fatality statistics reveal many cases of sudden death due to cardiovascular disease with no prior history of it. In that regard, a fit diver who has recovered fully after an MI may have less risk while diving than many active older divers.
>Usually the diver's personal physician will decide if the diver is capable of full activity without restrictions, including scuba, after a heart attack. A discussion of the issue can be found in Diving Medicine, third edition, edited by Alfred Bove, M.D.
>If the diver meets fitness requirements, the physician can recommend diving. However, there is no guarantee that a cardiovascular event will not occur while diving. The resort operator cannot be made responsible for deciding who can and cannot dive when there is a medical issue like cardiovascular disease in question.
>Even if DAN is called, our physician would have no knowledge of the health history of the diver. If you know who you are going to dive with on a trip, notify the shop ahead of time to prevent any misunderstanding. If you have health issues, have your physician give you written documentation that you have met appropriate health requirements for diving.

The Projects Crew Shreds
BY Adam Aslanian
The projects is home to two the of the most promising up and coming rail shredders the sport has to offer. With some of the best rails in the world at their disposal, Nate Perry and Marc Rossiter are doing nothing but progressing. It seems every time I see them ride they are stomping something new. In fact, Nate is pushing his riding so far, that I don't even know how to name some of the presses he is coming up with. It is truly fun to watch the creativity these guys bring to the park.
I had an opportunity to get in a sunrise sesh with these two the other day and had a great time shooting them. I guess its just refreshing to see that there is still so many new tricks and lines to be accomplished. To think that rail riding still hasn't reached the peak of what is possible makes me excited for the future. Keep your eyes open for Nate and Marc in the future as I'm sure this won't be the last time you hear their names.

He said no – so she choked him.
A 24-year-old Florida woman was arrested Saturday after police said she scratched and tried to choke her boyfriend for refusing to marry her, according to reports.
Nikoleta Karoly, of East Naples, had been trying to get her beau of two months to tie the knot because she faced the prospect of deportation, the Naples Daily News reported, citing a police report.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Karoly's visa expired last week -- her country of origin was unclear -- and she had become increasingly violent in her courtship, sometimes threatening to stab her boyfriend with a kitchen knife, the boyfriend reportedly told police.
He also said that during his lover's latest violent episode on Saturday she had slapped him so hard he feared that he might lose his hearing, the Daily News reported.
Asked about the allegations, Karoly claimed to police that she had hit and scratched her boyfriend while making love, the paper reported. Karoly was booked on a domestic violence charge.

It won't come as a surprise to read that Ski Dubai is as big a hit with children as it is with adults. If they're not yet ready for the main slopes at Ski Dubai, the Snow Park is a good bet, geared as it is towards children and the young at heart.
It's fine to leave your kids here while you're on the bigger slopes or elsewhere. That said, there are no specific child-minders on site, so while the older children are perfectly capable of entertaining themselves, it's advisable to accompany younger kids. There are also ski lessons at Ski Dubai designed specially for children.
There's a theatre showing children's films, a snow cave and ice bar (great for hot chocolate), and the bobsleigh and tubing are highly recommended. The novelty value of heading straight from the desert heat into an icy clime is certainly a winner – Ski Dubai is one of the best family attractions in Dubai.
For more on Ski Dubai, have a look at our main Ski Dubai page.
Address: Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha.
Open: Sunday to Wednsday 10:00 to 23:00; Thursday to Saturday 10:00 to 00:00.

7. Design and implement a program called TotalNumbers.java to do the following:
a. Prompts the user for their name to personalise the program;
b. For 10 repetitions:
i. Prompts the user for a number;
ii. Add to a running total the numbers as they are entered;
c. Then print out the final total at the end of the program.
Above is a practice excerciset. I do realise no-one is my actual university teacher here, but if you were doing this exercise, what would you think? My question is
In question 7c, it asks me to print out the final total at the end of the program. Does this mean to print out the 10 letters that the user has entered? or does it mean to add them then print them or something else?

All of our inground vinyl liners have all-over patterns, all the way up the wall to the tile or stone pattern on the waterline. We also are proud to offer Luminescent liners, made with iridescent inks and unique patterns designed using special high definition to make your pool look vibrant and spectacular! Unlike any other liner, the effect is even more dazzling when lit up at night!

We also have 3 grades of inground liners, for most patterns you have a choice of Standard, Deluxe or Supreme When 2 mils are shown the wall is thicker for older pool walls, where ladders bump, and floats and toys hit.
Standard: Full 20 mil, or 28 mil wall/20 mil floor – durable, economical.
Deluxe: Full 28 mil, or 28 mil wall/20 mil floor – more durability, puncture resistance, for uneven pool surfaces and long-lasting beauty.

Our simple measuring form will guide you through measuring your pool and providing us the dimensions we need when you call.
- Print the form.
- Fill it out using your pool measurement.
- Call us with your form completed or if you have any questions!
If ready to order, please have
your measuring form ready!
Inground pool liner measurement and installation is not that difficult, or thousands of pool owners wouldn't be buying inground liners each year. We sell a truckload of inground liners every year, and that's proof that lots of Americans are opting to measure and install their own inground vinyl liners.
STEP ONE: Browse our Patterns first – click the big yellow arrow, and you'll see that we have several dozen closeout patterns, and nearly 100 different new patterns to choose from. This could take some time! Try to decide if you want lighter or darker shades, and if you want to stray from blue into grays and tans. Then you can narrow down the choices further by deciding what type of border style you prefer, or go with no border if you want. After you settle on one or two colors, style and designs, our liner experts can quote you inground liner prices on different thickness of vinyl, in any pattern(s) you choose! But in order to quote your liner cost, we first need your pool measurements!
STEP TWO: Next is measuring the pool from point to point, and filling out the printed measurement guide and form, from which a custom inground pool liner can be made. Don't let the word custom scare you, most inground pool liners cost $1000-$1500, depending on size and thickness chosen. And, don't let the very detailed measuring form instructions scare you either, it can be done by two people in under an hour. 99% of vinyl pools are built with the same standard wall and floor plan, but because they are built by hand, they all vary by a few inches here and there. With a few simple tools, and using our easy to follow inground liner measurement guide and form, you can measure your pool for a new inground liner in no time!
STEP THREE: Calling in with your measurements is a pain, we know. We want to make sure that you receive world class support from a dedicated inground liner specialist, who will receive your measurements via fax, email or mail, and enter them our CAD program. This software not only allows your liner tech to give you accurate pool liner prices for any style, pattern or thickness, but it also finds any errors or inconsistencies in the measurements. So when you're ready, give us a quick call at 877-766-5287.
STEP FOUR: Installing inground pool liners is a 2-3 day process in most cases. Here is a simplified outline on how to replace an inground liner. See our blog for the Complete Guide to Inground Pool Liner Replacement, for (much) more detailed instructions.
- Order replacement floor and wall faceplates and gaskets. We can assist you.
- Drain the pool using a submersible pump, to a storm drain or distance from the pool.
- Use a razor knife to cut the old liner into pieces, and remove from the pool.
- Remove pool light, skimmer, drain, steps and return fittings, store items safely.
- Clean walls and liner track at top of wall. Scrape and paint rust, or use Wall Foam.
- Sweep and clean the floor, patch any cracks or divots. Sand floors are re-troweled.
- Place the liner in pool, unfold it and lock the liner bead into the track around the pool.
- Adjust the liner if necessary, and set-up a Liner Vac or Wet/Dry to suck out the air.
- Install the main drain ring and begin to fill the pool. Liner Vac continues to run.
- When water level reaches 3-6" over shallow end floor, remove the Liner Vac.
- When water level reaches bottom step, install pool step trim strips and screws.
- When water level reaches lights, wall returns and skimmers, install rings and faceplates.

Jelly Beans are the perfect food. They are compact, travel well, and come in lots of colors! With this colorway, we are declaring those cute little purple beans to be our favorite.
"Jelly Bean" Sock-aholic® Serene is dyed by hand at our brewery using a wonderfully soft 4-ply Luxury Sock Yarn made from 50% FS Alpaca, 30% Fine Merino, and 20% Tencel. Each skein contains 470 yards, and knits at a gauge of 7-9 stitches per inch using size 1-2 needles. This yarn is fabulous for warm yet lightweight garments, and its softness makes it a pleasure to handle and wear.
Each skein of our yarn is hand-dyed individually, therefore no two are exactly alike.
Washing Instructions: Hand washing in cool water is recommended to prolong the life of any hand-knit or hand-crocheted item. Roll in a towel to remove excess water (do not twist or wring), and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.

Order Confirmation
As soon as you place your order you will promptly receive an order confirmation e-mail. This confirms we have received your order and pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase. Your card will not be charged until your item ships. As soon as we receive your order we automatically verify that the item is available and determine lead time and estimated delivery date. If your item is on backorder or unavailable we will void the pre-authorization and promptly reach out to you via phone or e-mail. If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment (within 1-2 business days) we will process the charge upon shipment.
Shipping Your Order
If your item is in stock we will immediately process the charge on your credit card, subsequently the item will ship within five business days from the date of your order. We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address provided during check out. Please feel free to inquire if you do not receive the tracking information, since the email may unfortunately land in your junk folder. Shipping lead times may be longer than usual during holiday/rush periods. We will immediately inform you if this is the case and request your permission to proceed.
Once the shipment has left the warehouse the estimated delivery time is 5-7 business days. Rest assured we will always do our very best to ensure the promptest delivery possible. Guaranteed shipment dates and express service may be also available, please let us know if you need rush service and we will do our best to accommodate.
Inspect your purchase to ensure that it is in good condition upon arrival and that the number of boxes on the delivery bill match the number of boxes you received. If your item(s)/box arrives damaged please note the damage on the delivery bill (also known as a bill of lading), take photographs, and send the photos to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will then process an insurance claim on your behalf and promptly ship you a replacement part or item at no cost to you.
Cribs & Carriages and its manufacturers/suppliers reserve the right to first fix your item with a replacement part. Most transit damage can be fixed with a simple replacement part (ie leg, bar, rod).
Please make sure to notate the bill of lading if there are any signs of damage to the box or if your number of boxes are short. If unsure, do not hesitate to contact us immediately at 407-308-0090 and we will be glad to promptly assist you.
Examples of damage to a box are: rips, holes, crush, dings, etc.
It is very important that any damage or shortages are reported within five calendar days of receipt of the merchandise, due to carrier insurance regulations and rules. If the damage is cosmetic only, we reserve the right to first attempt to repair the unit as new with a part or professional assistance. In order to receive an immediate refund or replacement, you agree to hold onto the damaged item and not dispose of it until the claim process is over.
Cancellations & Refunds
We want you to be completely satisfied with your order. All purchases may be canceled at no cost prior to shipment. If there are any third party or carrier errors, you agree to let us help you resolve these in a timely manner.
Should you decide to cancel the order once it has already shipped, you (the buyer) will be responsible for all shipping charges, including return shipping. The refund will be processed once the item has been received at the warehouse. Depending on the specific table and manufacturer warehouse, a restocking fee may be assessed. Please review our returns policy by manufacturer for more information, as not all manufacturers accept returns for tables or accessories.
For those items that are non-returnable but arrive damaged, we will promptly provide a replacement at absolutely no cost to you pursuant to our Damages and Shipping Insurance policy and procedures.
Because we cannot sell used or damaged items, all returns must be in new and unused condition, including original packaging (please do not assemble or modify the product in any way).
Shipping Insurance
Cribs & Carriages provides complimentary shipping insurance with all orders; we want your item to be fully insured and protected while in transit. Shipping insurance allows a merchant to replace or refund an order that suffers damage due to shipping, at no cost to the buyer.
By accepting a damaged box and signing for it in "good condition", however, a customer acknowledge they wish to receive the order as is and cancel the right to any refund or replacement. Any box visibly damaged during shipping may indicate a damaged item within. This means a customer should always notate the damage to a box or item on the delivery bill, otherwise insurance cannot be filed and refunds/replacements cannot be made. We know this is pretty straight-forward, but we are required to disclose it! :)
We strive for 100% customer satisfaction. In the event we process an insurance claim for damage, please bear in mind that we will always provide a refund or replacement without you having to wait for the claim process to be over. In doing so, however, you agree to hold onto the damaged item until the claim process is over. Refusal to warehouse the damaged item means shipping insurance cannot be executed and voids the ability to provide refunds/replacements. This is common practice with all U.S. carriers (UPS, Fedex, etc) when processing insurance claims for refunds or replacements and does not in any way make you responsible for the delivery damage.
If you have any questions at all, please contact us a 407-308-0090 or at email@example.com and our professional staff will be glad to assist you.
Delivery Method
All orders are delivered "curbside". For questions about alternate delivery methods, or what curbside delivery is, please click here.
If you choose another type of delivery (such as Inside Delivery), please retain the email confirming any alternate delivery method for your records. For your protection and peace of mind, any guarantee is only provided in writing and never verbally. It is important to note that some deliveries may incur additional costs due to remote / hard to access / limited access locations. Although rare, we will promptly let you know if this is the case so that you may choose whether or not to proceed with the shipment.
What is Inside Delivery?
Inside delivery service with a carrier does not necessarily mean what the name suggests. When this service is requested on a shipment going to a business, the carrier will take the freight into the storefront for delivery. On a residential delivery, the carrier will only take the shipment onto the property, or into the garage of the residence. Please note this is the case with any shipment from any company and is not specific to Cribs and Carriage's inside deliveries.
When a driver delivers to a specific room in a house or business (for example a basement or 2nd floor), the requested service is known as White Glove service. Since this is very time consuming, only specific shipping companies offer white glove service. If you require white glove service, please let us know and we'll be glad to get you a quote!
Is Free Shipping Offered Everywhere in the US?
Although we strive to offer absolutely free shipping during our promotional periods, there are some locations where we simply cannot offer free shipping. These are typically states such as Hawaii and Alaska, although not limited to these, as locations with restricted access (ie islands, heavy metro areas), rural areas and neighborhoods, or locations which a carrier may deem remote or difficult to get to also fall under this category. Coast-to-coast shipping may not be covered under our free shipping policy, as we strive to obtain the fastest route to prevent item breakage and deliver exceptional customer satisfaction. If you feel you are in such a location, please feel free to contact us to make sure. We will still provide a credit for shipping in these instances. If you place an order and we find that you are in such an area, we will immediately contact you with all available options.
Thanks so much for choosing Cribs & Carriages, we look forward to serving you!

Reprographics/Display Assistant, Leeds
Closing date:Expiring tomorrow
Start date: ASAP
Contract type: Full Time
Contract term: Permanent
11-16 years, 1313 students
Principal: Chris Stokes
Executive Principal: Leanne Griffiths
Required ASAP
Reprographics/Display Assistant
Subject to a 6-month probationary period
Grade: A1/A3 pro-rata, term time only (37 hours) + 5 days
Salary £17,711 to £18,426
Actual Salary: £15,080 p/a
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic, dynamic and inspirational Reprographics / Display Assistant to join our Outstanding academy.
As part of The GORSE Academies Trust, The Farnley Academy underwent a remarkable transformation over three years to become one of the most improved schools in England. In December 2013, the excellence of our work was recognised by Ofsted which judged the Academy to be Outstanding in all areas. Inspectors reported that '…the quality of teaching is outstanding. Much is inspirational. As a result, students display a rare thirst for learning and an eagerness to succeed.' In addition, inspectors noted 'Newly qualified teachers are able to improve their teaching skills very quickly and effectively as a result of the excellent role models in the school and the excellent support available to them from experienced colleagues'.
In 2015, The Farnley Academy became a Teaching School. Working in alliance with a range of partners, we actively seek opportunities to raise standards in education through research and development, initial teacher training, school-to-school support and continuing professional development. The GORSE Farnley Teaching Schools Alliance has quickly established a reputation for profoundly improving student outcomes in other schools, particularly in English, Mathematics and Science.
In 2016 the Academy was awarded the prestigious World Class Schools Quality Mark, becoming one of only 50 schools across England to have secured this status. Awarded only to schools whose students are able to demonstrate they have world class attributes and qualities, we are hugely proud of this achievement and what it says about our young people, their aspirations, creatively, sense of community and pride in their academy.
Our mission is simple – to create an environment which is free from cynicism and unwilling to put limits on what young people can achieve. If you share our vision, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for. Applications are welcome from experienced teachers seeking a new challenge and from colleagues hoping to secure their first post.
An Application Pack (including Job Description and Person Specification) is available to download from The GORSE Academies Trust website (www.tgat.org.uk/jobs), by email to email@example.com or by telephone on 0113 2630741. If you would like to know more about The Farnley Academy, please visit our website at www.farnley.leeds.sch.uk. Please note if you submit an electronic application we will not require a hard copy. CVs are not accepted.
Closing date: 9am, Tuesday 10 December 2019
Interview date: Friday 13 December 2019
The Farnley Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children and we expect our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure Barring Service Check. We promote diversity and aim to establish a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds.
