By Kunal Lahori
Dubai is known for many things. It's global tourist destination is known for its world-class culinary landscape, one-of-a-kind architecture, and unique nightlife. Many would be surprised that Dubai also plays host to a truly vibrant coffee scene.
It may seem rather counterintuitive. After all, Dubai's average temperature hovers at around 25 °C (77 °F) in the daytime during its coldest months. The heat and humidity continue to persist extravagantly in the summer months.
But studies have shown that a hot drink on a hot day can indeed cool you down. This makes Dubai's specialty coffee scene thrive and grow with every pour. The emerging coffee specialty market in Dubai is gaining popularity and ambitious roasters continue to push the envelope.
No matter which part of the city you're in, a good cup of coffee is a mere sip away. Here are five things to know about the rise of Dubai's vibrant coffee scene.
1. The usual hotspots
Coffee enthusiasts visiting Dubai won't have to look far to find a decent cup of coffee. There are many homegrown companies featuring a beautiful brew of vibrant atmosphere and some seriously delicious homemade pastries. Coffee beans are organic, locally sourced, and wonderfully paired with the casual, laid-back atmosphere found in many of these trendy hotspots.
The coffee scene in Dubai is a departure from the luxury, high-end glamorous dining traditionally found in Dubai's culinary scene. Each cafe that has made a name for itself within the emerging coffee scene, from Café Bateel to Tom and Serg, are trendy, casual, and affordable.
Whether it's the perfectly poured cappuccino you're after, or made-to-order latte art, these flagship cafes have paved the way for Dubai's cafe culture.
2. The specialty roasters
The success of these non-homogenous cafes indicated a shift in Dubai's coffee market. This shift bore fruit in the form of specialty roasters. Filling the gap in the market between the traditional coffee chains and trendy cafes, the freshly roasted specialty coffee makers focus on specific beans. Particularly rare single origins and ethically sourced beans.
RAW is one of Dubai's most specialized coffee houses. All their beans are organically certified and roasted by origin. Mokha 1450 is another rarity. As one of the first coffee boutiques in the city, Mokha 1450 deals with direct trades for their specialty beans. Their main focus is on rare single origins and creating sustainable communities.
This gap in the market is growing quickly, with many consumers showing interest in learning about coffee origin and brewing.
3. The quirky cafes
Dubai isn't known as a once-in-a-lifetime tourist destination because it plays it safe. Visitors to the city know that Dubai is host to many unique experiences, and its vibrant coffee culture is no exception.
The Magazine Shop is a contemporary cafe that doubles as a home to the creative underground culture. Their involvement in the local art and design scene makes it a must-visit for any creative coffee lover. For those with a preference of feline therapy with their morning brew should head to Ailuromania Cafe.
Prefer theme-inspired coffee houses? Dubai has got your covered. Classic Rock Coffee and Café Rider both cater to guests looking for alternative coffee shops.
4. The coffee competitions
Coffee enthusiasts aren't only spoilt for choice when it comes to Dubai's coffee scene. Beyond establishments making a home for themselves in Dubai, coffee enthusiasts can revel in the numerous coffee competitions held throughout Dubai.
Dubai is home to the UAE AeroPress competition, with many world-class competitors vying for coffee glory. The city also hosts the UAE Latte Art Championships, hosted annually by the International Coffee and Tea Festival. The chosen latte art winner gets the opportunity to represent the country for the global title at the World of Coffee convention held annually.
5. Dubai Coffee Museum
Located in Dubai's heritage district, Al Fahidi, Dubai Coffee Museum is an aromatic bean-based journey back in time. As the country's first dedicated coffee museum, the Coffee Museum showcases a wide roster of antique coffee implements, from old grinders and roasters, each emphasizing coffee education to the interested customers.
The museum illustrates regional and global coffee culture and history. Its relaxing atmosphere permits visitors a platform to experience different regional coffee beans and styles. The museum also provides samples of freshly brewed Ethiopian coffee.
For coffee enthusiasts who are interested in what goes into a good cup of joe, this is an experience not to miss.
6. Coffee on the go
Dubai's vibrant coffee scene isn't relegated only to its artisan coffee houses and specialty roasters. For coffee connoisseurs, Dubai is also home to a whole host of mobile coffee solutions.
Borrowing from European and North American traditions, Dubai's streets are bustling with rolling coffee-making machines. Coffee bikes, specialty food trucks, and mobile pop-ups are populating the streets throughout the city.
With the freedom to choose their location, this convoy of roaming cafes allows coffee lovers to indulge in the finest roasts in unique locations throughout the city. Many will often roll in to Burj Park in downtown Dubai for Eat the World DXB or can be found in Zabeel Park or Al Barsha Pond Park for the Ripe Outdoor Market.
Dubai's vibrant coffee scene is the new happy hour. With stellar artisan coffee houses and mobile experiences unlike any other, Dubai really knows how to do once-in-a-lifetime opportunities in style. The burgeoning cafe culture sweep through Dubai's streets and neighborhoods means coffee lovers can satisfy every coffee urge.
Kunal Lahori is the Founder & CEO of Pret To Go, a brand of organic and healthy cafes located across the UAE in 8 business clusters in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. His philosophy is very simple: providing wholesome, fresh, handcrafted and delicious food for busy professionals without the luxury of time.

The upcoming movie based on the Doom video games has been delayed to the end of 2019, due to Universal Pictures wanting to give the VFX team more time to improve the CGI in the sequences set in Hell.
Dread Central has reported that Universal 1440 (the branch of Universal Pictures that is producing the film) has given the OK for the Doom delay, as they are so impressed by the product that they want to spend more time to improve the special effects before it's released.
The Doom movie is intended to be a straight to video/digital-only release, which immediately set of warning signs to fans that the film is going to be a cheap cash-grab, even during this era where companies like Netflix will pump a lot of money into exclusive feature films for their service.
RELATED: Doom, Wolfenstein Composer Is Putting Together A Heavy Metal Screaming Choir For Upcoming Game
The fact that the Doom movie has almost no big-name stars attached to it has also made fans wary of its content, with Nina Bergman from the rock band Letters from the Fire being the most recognizable name attached to the project.
The assurances of the studio that the new Doom movie is being delayed in order to improve the visuals isn't likely to change the minds of fans who have already made their decision about how bad the movie is going to be and it's hard to blame them after the terrible Doom movie starring Dwayne Johnson that was released in 2005.
The fact that the Doom series has barely any story to speak of makes it a hard sell for an adaptation unless the entire film is just about a marine who runs around shooting demons. The Doom remake even lampshaded the idea of the game having a story with the protagonist tossing away a monitor in the opening cutscene that tried to establish a plot, as he just wanted to run around and shoot demons, which is all that the player wants to do as well.
The new Doom movie is due to be released sometime in Fall 2019.

One of the best parts of traveling internationally is the great opportunity to try out new dishes. Depending on the country, some of these dishes are quite unique, while other dishes can be downright weird! Sometimes you may feel like Andrew Zimmern going out on his Bizarre Food tours. In our family, we are adventurers and we try out new, and sometimes even strange dishes everywhere we go. Russia is no exception.
Typical Russian Cuisine
Overall, Russian dishes are not very strange, but yes, if you look hard enough you can find some food that some people may consider strange. Typical Russian Food includes a lot of potatoes, vegetables (especially beets), salads, a lot of soups, lots of fish, sausages, pretty much all meats, and desserts.
are Borsch, which is a vegetable beet soup. Notice how red the broth is from the beets. Apparently there are as many Borsch recipes are there are people in Russia, so there really is no right or wrong way to go about this. It is a perfect for cold weather and especially good if you have a cold. In my opinion, this dish would fall under the category Russian Comfort Food.
Pelmeni is described by many as Russian Raviolis. In my opinion, they are very different from Raviolis in their flavor, but the one thing the two have in common is that it's dough filled with food that is boiled. Pelmini is usually filled with either ground meat or mash potato. This food is high in carbs, so it is a good winter food that will keep you warm and energized.
Piroshki is somewhat similar to pelmeni. It's food wrapped in dough, except they are larger and they are fried in oil (usually sunflower oil) until browned on both sides. They are filled with ground meat, mashed potato, cabbage, or jam for dessert piroshki. I have heard of other fillings beside what is listed above. These are very high in carbs, and a little bit greasier since they are fried, but they are one of my favorite dishes. Sometimes it is made into a pie where a lay of dough is spread across a baking pan, the filling is added, then it is topped with dough and baked in the oven. This is called pierogi.
Selyodka Pod Shuboy
This dish is one of my favorite, and for some it does fall somewhat under the "weird food" category and some from outside of Russia don't like it at all, but in my family, we love it! It's a salad of beets, vegetables, mayonnaise, hard-boiled egg, but then there is a surprise lurking near the bottom of this salad; pickled herring fish. This fish is extremely fishy and salty tasting, which is what scares away the Non-Russian, but if you ask me, I love it. I love how the sweetness of the beets is offset by the fishiness and saltiness of the herring fish. I could eat this dish all day long.
The four dishes above are just a few of many Russian dishes, but they are some of the most common. When we had our family reunion with my wife's family in Russia, they had a huge spread of different Russian dishes across the table. it was great to fill up my plate with a little bit of everything.
Weird Food in Russia
During my time in Russia, I went out of my way to try out some food that some may consider to be strange. To most Russians, this food in completely normal and most Russian people have no problem eating it, but to an American like myself, it is considered different for sure.
Kholodets, also known as Russian Meat Jelly, is pretty much that, meat jelly, or in my opinion it resembles jello. The word Kholodets comes of the root word Kholod, which means "cold". Kholodets is eaten cold and it is a common dish eaten primarily during winter holidays, but can be eaten any time of year.
I've eaten a lot of Russian food over the years, but during this trip to Russia, I was able to try out kholodets for the first time. Many from outside of Russia consider this food to be rather disgusting, but anyone who knows me well, knows that I typically love unusual foods. This dish is no different.
It has a very meaty and strong pork flavor, so the taste is delicious, but at the same time it has the texture of jello with chunks of meat in it. It almost tastes like pork bullion in jello form. It's bouncy, gelatinous, it just melts in your mouth.
It is recommended to be eaten with Russian spicy mustard or horseradish.
Now, I can already hear Russian people correcting me on this saying that Ikra is not weird at all, and I agree with you. I think Ikra is delicious, but there are those from outside of Russia would disagree with you and I. Basically it's squash and vegetables in puree form. Russians like to spread it in bread, especially Rye bread and eat it. it tastes as it's described, like vegetable puree. It's not my favorite Russian food, but I will certainly snack on it if it's in front of me.
Tomato Ice Cream
Okay, this is not really Russian, I am sure if you look hard enough, you can find this anywhere, but hey, I ate it in Russia, so I will document it here. I tried this in Chebarkul at a snack stand by the lake where we stayed for 3 days. I was really hoping this would taste better, but it was basically frozen cream of tomato soup on a cone. It was not good and I was glad when I finished it. Yeck!
There are many types of desserts in Russia, below is a photo from a famous dessert place in Saint Petersburg just to show you a sample of what is available.
There are also many different types of cakes, two of my favorite are Napolean Cake, and Honey Cake:
Ice cream in Russia
Ice cream in Russia and pretty much all of Eastern Europe and Western Europe is far superior to ice cream in America, and the secret is in the milk they use. Milk in these areas is flash-pasteurized, so the milk still retains some of it's "good bacteria" and still has somewhat of a sour taste, kind of like buttermilk. Add some sugar to that, and with how the sugar and milk offset each other, you have a very delicious ice cream.
As you can see, you can have quite the culinary adventure in Russia, from the mainstream to the strange, and to even the sweet.

I started a CF LNK Team training blog. It may wind up just being my blog, but who knows.
Kind of simple really.
Yesterday we went to the gym twice.
5 rounds, for time
15 med ball cleans
15 wall balls, 10 ft target
In the evening we went and did an Oly Lifting day, working on the hang clean for heavy singles, then the full squat clean.
I missed a new 5# PR, and ended up only finishing 5# shy of my previous PR at 185. I lot of work on getting fast in the middle. I need to follow up and stay active in pursueing my Oly Lift goals. Yesterday was my first serious attempt at Oly Lifting since December.
No more excuse making. Every day. Pursue excellence.

Time to breathe
Dr. Melanie Goble
Have you ever had those days when life just seems to be overwhelming you and you feel like you are going to drown in the chaos of life? Yeah, me neither…
Alright, yes, I have felt that way.
I struggle to remember that when life appears to be taking over, I need to take time to breathe. To take that 10-30 seconds of deep breaths. To ground myself. I recently attended an active shooter response training and the officer leading the training spoke about "Combat Breathing." When things start to go out of control, you get tunnel vision (and hearing). Taking the deep breaths allow your body to get the oxygen it needs to focus well, not on the "other thing" that does not actually need your focus.
When the clinic gets crazy, especially during an emergency, I find myself obsessing over the wrong things. Things like:
How many clients are waiting? How long have they been waiting?
Is the next client going to be mad at me for being late?
Seriously, what did I drop on my shirt? I haven't had time to eat anything!
I need to be focusing on the case at hand, but my mind seems to scatter and then focus on that stupid stain on my shirt.
How do I get myself to focus? I am still working on that. Asking those that I am working with to remind me to breath helps a lot. We can all take those deep, calming breaths, focus ourselves, and then kick butt like the amazing heroes that we are!
Are we ashamed of who we are?
Abby Whiting, DVM
It's no surprise to those who know me, that I love veterinary medicine. It is, in part, a piece of me. It's a piece of how I define myself, what some of my purpose here is. But I am also a terrible hypocrite.
I am an incurable introvert….while I play an extrovert in my daily professional life...in truth I am an ISTP with heavy emphasis on the I. So I rarely talk about my profession or my life in public...it's not because I am ashamed, its because telling someone you are a veterinarian starts a lengthy conversation filled with endless photos of their kitten, questions for free medical advice without an exam, tales of how they always wanted to be a vet...and on and on. When I fly I cherish my travel time, its the time I meditate the best...so no I really can't bear the thought of flying to Anchorage with 6 hours of tales of your cat's health concerns and how expensive your vet is. I've been known to tell a white lie or two: some days I sell insurance, once I told a very talkative lady I was a mortician (insert guilty smile)..it worked it was the quietest flight of my life. I also don't really appreciate it when a friend or family member calls me out in public…"Oh my sister is a vet, she's right here let's ask her!"...sigh…
Many people think I feel like this because in some way I am ashamed of my profession: on the contrary...I am well aware that vets are superheroes in disguise and I am honored to be among them! I have been an active member in organized veterinary medicine and as such I have gotten to travel and interact with many of the "top brass" in vet med. As an emerging leader I have attended conferences throughout the midwest and I have met and learned from so many people...and one question I still have... are we ashamed of who we are?
A little while ago, in a galaxy very near to us, I attended a conference with the top thinkers and leaders in vet med who, for the purposes of this post, will remain anonymous. As part of our entertainment we were taken to a state fair to visit the agriculture and veterinary medicine exhibit (as well as to eat funnel cakes and cream puffs! ). What fun! I was excited! As the bus pulled up to gates and the ferris wheel came into view, a top leader stood up on the bus and addressed us all. The leader said that this was a public fair, one of the largest in the nation, and that we would have no way of knowing if animal rights folks would be there too. The leader then removed the Aesculapius pin from their shirt and asked us to remove all outward signs that we were veterinarians. All in unyson everyone removed their ID badges and lapel pins etc. I stood frozen on the bus, clearly wearing a light jacket with my alma mater's vet school logo and script on it, pondering why. Why would we hide? Why do we hide? If the only voice in the crowd is the misguided one; its no wonder we have trouble in the realm of public perception.
It was then that my mother may have rolled over in her grave...you see I am a gen X er and an emerging leader...I tend to speak my mind. My mother came from a generation where young women were seen and not heard..and certainly would not contradict the "leader". As politely as I could muster I simply said, "I am not ashamed of my profession. It is a badge of honor". The leader smiled at me, asked if I was sure and let me climb off the bus into the crowd. I was happy no one tried to stop me...but sad no one else took my lead.
I wandered around the crowded fair that night consumed by questions of why we don't try to re educate people. Whether it be the anti vaxer crowd, the my groomer told me crowd, the animal rights crowd. Is it because we are ashamed? Or is it because we are tired? Or are so many of us introverts; that the very thought of this level of interaction gives us hives? I visited the agriculture barn where farrowing crates were explained and demonstrated. I visited the vet barn where dairy cattle where delivering their calves in front of the onlooking crowd. I watched ag students answering questions and redirecting misinformation. I watched everyday people learning and understanding.
While I understand the "don't engage" policy when it comes to subjects like animal rights, anti vaccines, etc...I wonder if we are not doing more harm by not trying?
At the end of the day I am proud to wear my Aesculapius. I am proud of who I am and of my profession. My challenge to all of you: Be proud. We are true superheros. We are one of the most respected professions in the world...We should all embrace our profession. But feel free to tell your in flight neighbor you sell insurance!
Dr. Carrie Jurney
The Answer is no...
Melanie Goble. DVM
The Answer is "No", but…
A clinic that I was recently providing relief services at had a client come in and an opioid was prescribed for the patient. Later, the client asked if they could just return here if they needed another prescription.
The other doctor and I discussed this. The answer was, "No." but we then had to deal with the concerns of is the patient actually getting the pain control that it needs? How do we balance the needs of the patient and the risks for the client, and society? We all get know the obvious answer of no when we know the patient is not ever going to get those medications, but when there is doubt? What about when the client shares that they are on the same medications? What about when there is high suspicion, for whatever reason, of non-prescription drug use by the owner or someone in the household?
Yes, there are other medications that we could use, but what happens when those medications are not an option? When those medications don't actually touch the pain? When costs are a major issue? When neither surgery or euthanasia is something the client is willing to consider?
How do we maintain our oath? How do we relief animal suffering and promotion of public health? This same client said, "The opioid epidemic doesn't exist." We know that it does.
Veterinarian's Oath
Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.
I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics.
I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.
Let's really talk about this. What do you say?

Launched in October 2015, Zyp BikeShare, an initiative of REV Birmingham, ushered in a new era of public transportation options to the city of Birmingham. Upon its launch, Zyp became the first public bike-sharing system in the state of Alabama, and the first system overall to utilize electric pedal assist technology in North America. Servicing downtown Birmingham and its surrounding neighborhoods, Zyp allows access to hundreds of green bikes at more than 40 strategically placed stations for quick, convenient trips around town for residents and tourists alike.
Walk-up users can access bikes directly at a station via touchscreen payment kiosks or downloading the Zyp mobile app on their smartphone. Pass Options include Pay-As-You-Go, 1-Day, 3-Day and 1-Month access (click here for pricing).
Once a bike is undocked, the user has up to 45 minutes of ride time before they must dock the bike at a nearby Zyp station. For users who would like to continue riding, they may immediately undock the bike again — or select a new bike — and a fresh 45-minute ride time will begin. This may be done as many times as they wish while their pass is still active.
Need help with a bike? Call Zyp Customer Service
- Phone
- Phone 844-997-2453
Since its launch, Zyp users have checked out bikes more than 200,000 times and covered more than 220,000 miles throughout downtown. Want to follow along and see the positive impacts Zyp BikeShare is making on Birmingham? You can check out the stats in real time. Together, we can increase vibrancy, connectivity, and livability in Birmingham!

Police raided a timber storage yard and cosmetics shop yesterday in Phnom Penh, seizing more than 160 boxes of body lotion, makeup and other products in the largest reported crackdown on unlicensed cosmetics vendors so far this year.
Officers from the Ministry of Interior's Anti-Economic Crime Department conducted two separate raids in the capital yesterday – one in Prampi Makara district and another in Chamkarmon district – collecting 164 cases of illicit goods, police said.
Long Sreng, deputy chief of the department, said the raids on the properties, both owned by the King Well Trading Company, had netted 39 cases of lotion and 45 cases of cosmetics.
"Now we are questioning the owners of the two locations and will send them to court on Tuesday for legal action," he said, adding that the raids were carried out in conjunction with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutor.
According to a police report of the raids, the authorities are searching for King Well Trading employee Oeung Sakim.
Court deputy prosecutor Tob Chhunlong could not be reached for comment.
Bootlegged cosmetics are regularly seized by authorities, with one of the country's largest hauls in recent years coming in June 2013, when police confiscated hundreds of bottles of chemicals due to be turned into shampoo.

Good evening everyone!
"Good evening!"
Are you having a good time?
No, I can tell that you are not having a good time, but having a great time!
Our annual holiday events are just getting better and better: more people are attending year after year; this year's venue is the best; the settings are fantastic; and the energy level on the floor is so higher, no wonder everyone is smiling and delightful.
We all know that it takes a lot of efforts and time to organize such a party, our Social Committee members worked hard for this, so please put your hands together, a big thank you to the social committee.
While you are sitting, relaxing, and enjoying your chatting, I feel a lot of pressure. Yes, Pressure, stress.
The pressure is not coming from work, is not coming for standing in front of the crowd, it is coming from what I was told last week.
A few days ago, the Social Committee told me that they want me to lead a line dance again this year, and to make it our year end gathering tradition.
"What?" I said, "I am aging, plus, I do not have the talents and skills to lead line dancing anymore".
So that is why I feel stressed.
But this year, I promised them to do it again, and the main reason was that I was inspired by your enthusiasm, and by your participation.
About one month ago, some of you booked rooms in this hotel for tonight. How many of you will stay overnight here today?
1,2,3,4,5,6,…. Wow, good for you!
So for those of you, our event is just the beginning of your overnight party! You deserve it! How many bottles of whisky are you going to drink? If you got too drunk, call me, because I know how to recover from it. But I am not going to tell you now, otherwise, many of you may try whisky and get drunk at home which I do not recommend.
Everyone looks sharp tonight. But there is one sparkling spot that really, really, grabs my attention. You guess what it is?
Our MC Andy told me that he was looking forward to tonight since last December, and recently, he said: he looks at his fashionable white shoes, polishes it very day. So Andy, please show us your shining shoes. Thank you.
Also, some social committee members started to have vacation since last week, I asked them what did they plan for their holidays? Guess what? They said: they planned nothing but bake for this event! So just look around, those delicious deserts, thank you.
Ok, I have said enough. Let's talk about line dance.
I have selected a Chinese song called "一晃就老了", first, please follow me, say it: 一.晃.就.老.了.。It means that "getting old like a sway".
We all are not old at all, and we all are able to sway, so please come to the dancing floor, follow my steps and sway!
(after dance)
You guys are genius, you follow the music gracefully and beautifully, and you learn to sway on the spot.
Thank you and enjoy the night!本 文 由 第 一 公 文 网 g o n g w e n . 1 k e j i a n . c o m 收 集 整 理 1

Do you prefer to be addressed by your first name, short name, nickname from legal name, or nickname not...?
related to your name?
Well, I stopped liking being adressed by my first name when I was in seventh grade. I used a short name for a long time, then in my mid 20s, switched to a nickname related to my first name. I prefer a nickname be it related to my legal name or not.

first name by ppl my age or older, if younger Ms. Ann instead of the formal Ms. lastname or Mrs. last name. I'm very informal with my kids friends and do let them call me by my first name.

My first name.
- LeslieAnnLv 61 decade ago
Nicknames are fun, but not everyone seems to attract nicknames. I ended up with my first and second names combined. It's rather Southern, but I like it. Leslieann. Since I share my first and last names with my Father in law and my Brother in law - I needed to do something to keep from being like "one of the boys"!
- SandraLv 44 years ago
Tattoo Mom used to call me Dale, because i made a facebook for this yahoo account and i used the name Dale Ksupremacy. i would also accept being called Steve or Carl or Bob, though none are my real name. few people know my real name so they don't know my nickname, neither of which i will disclose. i don't think any of what i just said makes any sense, but it made sense in my head and that's what matters. if you know my real name, and you tell someone, i will cut you.

January 13, 1992, Section C, Page 6Buy Reprints
The spotlight was shining brilliantly on Redskin quarterback Mark Rypien once again, and this time, after playing a superb game and again establishing himself on the same plateau as Buffalo's Jim Kelly as the most accurate deep passers in pro football this season, Rypien was able to smile and accept his place amid the hoopla in his team's locker room.
Rypien, you see, shys away from nearly any and all attention.
But a berth in Super Bowl XXVI after the Redskins' 41-10 victory over the Detroit Lions in the National Football Conference championship game was all Rypien needed to finally relax, to finally savor his big-play, big-time accomplishments. 'A Real Honor'
"This has been a real honor," he said. "Every week of the season has built toward this moment, and there is no better feeling than this today. I honestly feel at ease for the first time in a long, long time."
He looked that way all afternoon, deftly reading the Lions' defense, shredding it with pinpoint throws and enjoying a pocket provided by his offensive line that could not have been more comfortable and cozy than a newborn's crib.
Rypien completed 12 of 17 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns and had no interceptions. His scoring strikes to Gary Clark and Art Monk were on deep drops where he set, waited for both to gain a step on their defenders and then led them perfectly with the pass, hitting them in stride. Vintage Rypien
It was vintage Rypien, typical of this season, with the kind of plays that earned him his berth as the starting N.F.C. quarterback in the 1992 Pro Bowl.
"You're talking about two gifted athletes in Art and Gary," Rypien said of his receivers. "What we did all week was look at the film this season at the plays that worked the best for us. We didn't worry too much about the Detroit strategy or their alignment because they usually show the same scheme. The one play to Gary, that was what we used to beat the Giants up there this season. All those guys need is a step and you put it up top."
All Rypien needs is the ball and time.
The Redskin receivers know that his quick mind and rocket arm will do the rest.

This week:
Jaimie Alexander suffers a serious injury on the set of Thor: The Dark World; Dollhouse alum Tahmoh Penikett joins the cast of Arrow; Lizzy Caplan confirms she won't be joining the SHIELD TV series' main cast; Bill Murray once again reunites with Wes Anderson; and Ben Whishaw eyes a role in Spielberg's Robopocalypse.
Jaimie Alexander -- who played Sif in the first Thor and reprises the role for Thor: The Dark World -- reportedly suffered a serious injury while filming the Marvel Studios sequel.
Alexander tweeted that she's "lucky [she is] not paralyzed," and thanked well-wishers for their kind words. While Alexander's publicist Chris Schneider would not provide specific details regarding the injury, he did confirm it occurred whilst the actress was walking on a rain-slicked set. Schneider also revealed that the unfortunate injury would not force Thor: The Dark World to halt production, but some parts of the shooting schedule will be shifted around to accommodate Alexander.

Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse star Tahmoh Penikett has joined the cast of the CW's new series Arrow, which is a more realistic take on DC's Green Arrow comic book character.
Penikett will play Tom Salvati, who is said to be the right-hand man of mob boss Frank Bertinelli (Jeffrey Nordling), one of season 1's major villains. In addition to being an antagonist for Green Arrow, Bertinelli is father to Helena Bertinelli (Jessica De Gouw), better known to fans as The Huntress.
It's unclear how long Penikett will be a part of Arrow's cast but even a brief stint does provide the show with a little geek cred.

Lizzy Caplan has confirmed that she will not be joining the regular cast of ABC's forthcoming SHIELD TV series. Caplan, who plays Claire in the Marvel One-Shot Item 47, was one of the many characters rumored to be joining the show, but this news kills that rumor.
"I can't really. I have my own show so I will not be a regular on the Marvel S.H.I.E.L.D. show. But I'm glad people are so excited about that. I think it's a good idea."
Though Caplan has not ruled out a guest appearance here or there, her commitment to Showtime's Masters of Sex nixes any chance of her taking on a substantial role. In brighter news, we have just received a few character descriptions for the SHIELD series, which provide clues as to the various archetypes ABC and Marvel are seeking out for the show.

Longtime Wes Anderson collaborator Bill Murray has joined the cast of the director's next movie The Grand Budapest Hotel. Along with Murray's casting, Angela Lansbury (Murder, She Wrote) has confirmed she has a small role to play in the film.
Murray and Lansbury are joining a cast that already includes Owen Wilson and Jude Law. At one point Johnny Depp was rumored to be up for a part, but that rumor was quickly squashed by Anderson.
Murray confirmed his involvement in an interview with Vulture, in which he revealed he was "about to go shoot a movie with Wes Anderson in Germany." Lansbury, on the other hand, says she has a "minuscule role" in the film, and is only "on the screen probably for less than five minutes."
Not much is known about The Grand Budapest Hotel – which is said to draw on Anderson's time spent in Paris each year -- but the Moonrise Kingdom director has teased that it will be less family friendly than his past two films.

Ben Whishaw (Perfume) is reportedly on director Steven Spielberg's wish list for a supporting role in Robopocalypse.
Variety reports that Spielberg is looking to cast Whishaw in the role of a hacker named Lurker. Whishaw – who can be seen later this year in both Skyfall and Cloud Atlas – joins a growing list of rumored actors includes Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway.
Based on the novel by David H. Wilson, Robopocalypse tells the story of a robot uprising in the near future. Here's the novel's synopsis:
Not far into our future, the dazzling technology that runs our world turns against us. Controlled by a childlike—yet massively powerful—artificial intelligence known as Archos, the global network of machines on which our world has grown dependent suddenly becomes an implacable, deadly foe. At Zero Hour—the moment the robots attack—the human race is almost annihilated, but as its scattered remnants regroup, humanity for the first time unites in a determined effort to fight back.

Managing your company's public perception in the U.S. is complex. But for U.S.-based technology companies looking to expand internationally, the United Kingdom presents a host of new marketing and branding challenges. Citizens in the U.K., for example, are three times more likely to view American technology companies as exploitative than trustworthy, a recent survey conducted by global communications firm Brunswick Group found.
More broadly, U.K. residents and government officials have deep concerns about tech companies' business transparency and their morality, and those issues drive brand awareness in the U.K. more than in the U.S. Here, people are more heavily influenced by marketing/PR narratives that stress companies' innovative natures, and the actual appeal of companies' products to consumers, according to Brunswick.
Brunswick recently held an event in Silicon Valley with UK Trade and Investment, a UK government agency, to discuss the survey findings and examine the broader issue of how to manage corporate reputations in the U.K.—a major issue for growing U.S. technology companies seeking new markets for their wares.
The three top concerns about U.S. tech companies operating in the U.K. were tax evasion; data privacy; and national security, including worries about whether tech companies' services were being used by terrorists, and whether companies were sharing relevant information with law enforcement to curb potential terrorism and crime, speakers at the event said.
People in the U.K. also tend to be more pro-regulation, a mindset that feeds many of these concerns. Seventy-five percent of the survey respondents agreed that the country needs "more regulation to ensure foreign tech companies based in the U.K. pay their fair share of taxes." Similarly, 66% agreed that the U.K. needs stricter laws "to force Internet and social-media companies to give the security services more information they hold about suspected criminals."
Still, nine out of 10 U.K. citizens said they would support foreign technology companies setting up major operations in the U.K., according to the survey. There is also public support generally for foreign companies creating more highly skilled jobs.
Event speakers stressed that it's important for international companies operating in the U.K.—or those planning to—to engage in a meaningful dialogue surrounding their business operations, both through public relations and directly with government officials. UK Trade & Investment often helps international companies start these dialogues, both before they move into the market and once they've started operations.
The key takeaways for international companies moving across the pond, according to Brunswick? Focus on:
- How your brand is positioned–the way you communicate and what you say;
- How you form relationships–your ability to build coalitions and consensus; and
- How you behave–the way you go about business, as well as the products and services you sell.
For more details, read the Brunswick UK Perception Study.

Kendrie -- day 97 OT
Blaine -- countdown to radiation
I have a confession to make: I have a new, favorite device for the bedroom. In fact, I have TWO --- one for each hand! Woo-hoo!!! Now, before your minds go crashing any further down in the gutter, let me back up:
There is nothing as ugly on this planet …. not even a fat man in a Speedo …. As ME, when I am sleep-deprived. And I don't mean physically ugly, despite the crazy hair and bags under my eyes. I mean ugly as in grumpy, crabby, mean. No patience, no humor, no interest in anything that doesn't involve ME and a NAP.
So when I came home from my scrapbooking getaway this weekend, slightly sleep-deprived because my girlfriends forced me at gunpoint to stay up late, gossiping and eating chocolate every night, Blaine recognized the (not too bad at this point, but it was coming) Ugly-Face and quickly recommended I go to bed early and he would put the kids to bed … even though he was feeling a wee bit "off", himself. Not one to turn down a suggestion like that, off to bed I went, with visions of me, sleeping soundly through the night in my OWN bed, dancing before my eyes.
Now, I have to tell you that in addition to the fat, swollen feet, I have also become the proud owner of fat, chubby hands the past few weeks. Hands that no longer can accommodate a wedding ring … OR an anniversary band. Or even a watch because my wrists are so … well, shall we say, pleasantly plump. So, when you have big-fat-pregnancy-hands that can't be held at higher than a 5-degree angle without going all numb and tingly, sleeping becomes an issue. And never more so than Sunday night.
I woke up, no lie, at least once every half hour with aches and pain and tingling and numbness in my wrists and fingers. Miserable, I tell you. First I would flap my hands about, like a demented bird with broken wings, trying to get blood flow resumed. Then I would have to sit straight up, hands hanging down my sides, for ten to fifteen minutes each time to finally get the blood flowing again. Then I would lay back down, only to wake again half an hour later. Finally I tried sleeping sitting up in a chair in the living room, only to realize how far it was to the bathroom (since I'm now getting up a dozen times each night to use the potty, too.) It was the most pathetic night of constantly interrupted sleep I have ever had, and that INCLUDES when I was breastfeeding my children so many years ago!
Add in to the mix a 9-yr old daughter who came stumbling into our room around 1am, complaining that she was itchy. Ah, yes, here comes my Mother of the Year Trophy now. I bought the kids St. Patrick's Day tattoos last week (because I am *SO* cool, right?) and she had some kind of allergic reaction to the soap we used to wash off her face and forearms, hence the complaining and the itching and the HIVES all over her.
By the next morning, I'd had a total of about 23 minutes sleep. I had one daughter who was covered in red, itchy welts, and a husband who, like it's not enough recovering from major surgery and oh, yeah, having CANCER, had decided to catch whatever stomach bug it is going around. I swear, he didn't get out of bed all day except to steal some of Kendrie's zofran, then throw it up four minutes later.
So I'm stomping around the house on my fat, puffy feet, grumbling about "who do you people think I am? Florence-freaking-Nightingale?" and gazing longingly at the sofa …. it was overcast and raining, NONE of the anti-itch creams I had were working on Brayden, she was bitching, Blaine was moaning, and all I wanted was a NAP people, a NAP, IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK????
Anyway, we made it through the day, and on the recommendation of a friend, I went to the drugstore last night and bought wrist splints, specifically advertised as "good for carpal tunnel sufferers". I mean, it's not like I earn a living splitting chicken bones or anything, and I have to tell you how ugly they are --- they make me look like the really serious guys at the bowling alley, know who I'm talking about? But I was desperate for sleep and willing to try anything.
Oh, my gosh! They totally worked!!! I slept great last night! (Well, I still got up a dozen times to go potty, but that's another story.) No numbness, no tingling, no aches or pains --- it was fantastic! I woke up with a completely different attitude; refreshed, happy, eager to embrace my beautiful children and start the new day (ok, I know, I'm exaggerating now.) But you get the point.
Blaine feels better, Brayden has been properly treated by a doctor (the hives have spread and she now looks like a "before" picture on a Proactive infomercial -- but I think we've got a handle on it now) and the sun came back out today. Wow, what a difference a good night's sleep can make!
Now, just crossing my fingers I sleep as well this evening. Actually, no, I'm not going to cross my fingers. They might start to tingle.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: When the doctor told Brayden she would be starting a five-day course of prednisone, I said to her, "Hey, you're going to be on the same steroids Kendrie was on" and Brayden replied, "Oh, great. Now I'm going to get grumpy."
2ND QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Holy Crap, are you KIDDING me????" said by me, when Brayden announced she was too big for the kids' menu and asked if she could order off the regular menu at lunch today, only to tell the waiter that she wanted the steak and shrimp combo, costing $14. I don't know which was worse … that I felt so sorry for her little hive-covered face that I let her order it, or the fact she actually ate most of it!!! Um, did my children not get the memo I sent, about them staying kids a whole lot longer?!?!?!

Donald Trump is now the face of the Republican Party and it appears that none of the remaining five candidates is looking to reform the party the right way. The necessity to modernise and moderate couldn't be more substantial right now.
To achieve electoral success, the party must learn how to win, by learning from Europe. For reformed European conservatism is electable, and it is to be found in the one-nation conservatism of Prime Minister David Cameron and in Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Party. It is a conservatism that not only defends markets and low taxation, but also encompasses within that the defense of economic inclusion, social modernization and environmental protection. It means defending and modestly reforming the welfare state, not destroying it. It means siding with the scientific consensus and facing the reality of climate change, not dismissing or flat-out denying it. It also means taking a reformed approach to social issues.
Though it would be desirable to ultimately see both political parties advocate some form of a single-payer health insurance like every other developed Western country, one has to be realistic and say it'll be difficult for Democrats to even get on that bandwagon, let alone Republicans.
But at election time, European conservatives pledge that they will protect the state healthcare provision and perhaps pledge to make modest reforms. Cameron's Conservatives since coming to power in 2010 have protected spending on the National Health Service(NHS) and pledged in their winning 2015 manifesto that they would make an additional £8 billion in NHS investments by 2020.
Because the NHS is so popular, it's conventional wisdom that any party rallying for the dismantling of the NHS is doomed to electoral defeat. This has historically been the case, as Fareed Zakaria in his article 'Center the serious place in politics' rightly notes that even the radical reformer Margaret Thatcher during the ideologically polarising period of the 1980s protected NHS spending while she was prime minister. She didn't completely transform, scrap, destroy or replace the existing healthcare system.
What a far cry from today's Republican candidates.
Every one of the five remaining Republican candidates support the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, including Ben Carson who stated that "Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."
The extremism extends.
Every candidate also supports the repeal of the estate tax, and all but Trump support the elimination of the capital gains tax. Ted Cruz calls for the elimination of five federal departments, the abolition of the IRS and regards Social Security a "Ponzi scheme". Trump and Rubio support $11.2 trillion and $8.4 trillion in tax cuts respectively over the next decade while magically and simultaneously promising to balancing the budget.
The radical consensus is found too on environmental policy, where the profound challenges of climate change are brushed aside. When 97% of climate scientists agree on human-induced climate change, it might be wise to side with the consensus. A commonly repeated phrase by some Republican candidates, notably Marco Rubio, has been that they're not scientists. Rubio is indeed not a scientist, but why not just have the humility to listen to the scientists?
In contrast, European conservatives like Cameron and Merkel are committed in principle to confronting climate change. They don't deny it, they accept it, and state the importance in addressing it. In his recent speech at the Paris Climate Conference, David Cameron stated that, "instead of making excuses tomorrow to our children and grandchildren, we should be taking action against climate change today." Angela Merkel offered similar remarks in Paris, and is celebrated in Germany as the "climate chancellor" in her courage to phase out nuclear energy by 2022.
Centrism is not only more respectable than right-wing radicalism, it's more electable. John Kasich is labelled as the most moderate candidate of the five, and he polls most favourably when up against Hillary Clinton, according to Real Clear Politics. Donald Trump who is arguably the most extreme candidate, polls the least favourably.
Ultimately, the party ought to have, but doesn't, as it's frontrunner someone who not only demands low taxation and limited government, but also advocates modest, not overly-transformative reforms to the existing healthcare system. A candidate that acknowledges the reality of climate change, and offers compelling solutions. A candidate that endorses social and economic inclusiveness.
The success of reformed European conservatism is the blueprint for how the Republican Party ought to reform. Such reform towards centrism is essential, for the Republican Party to again be electable and respectable.

Riverside County will dry off Friday as the first significant rainstorm of the season moves out of the region, but while mandatory evacuation orders in the Temescal Valley and Lake Elsinore were lifted, some schools remained closed.
The Lake Elsinore Unified School District decided Thursday morning to close Luiseno Elementary School, Rice Canyon Elementary School, Withrow Elementary School, Terra Cotta Middle School and Lakeside High School, all of which are situated in or near residential areas that were placed under mandatory evacuation orders during the rain storm because of flooding, mud and debris flow risks.
The closures were extended into Friday at Luiseno, Rice Canyon, Terra Cotta and Withrow. Lakeside High and all other LEUSD campuses were open Friday.
Rain bands swept through Riverside County all day Thursday, causing heavy runoff in the Cleveland National Forest, on which county Emergency Management Department staff remained focused, fearing potential mud and debris flows into residential areas.
In a 24-hour period ending around 10:15 p.m. Thursday, the storm had dropped 2 inches of rain in Beaumont, 1.22 inches in Temecula, .84 of an inch in Murrieta, .71 of an inch in Riverside, 1.32 inches in Corona, 1.65 inches in Idyllwild, 1.65 inches in the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning and .07 of an inch in Palm Springs, according to the National Weather Service.
There were no reports of significant damage. However, multiple roads were closed Thursday between Corona and Lake Elsinore because of pooling water. Thunderstorms pounded the Riverside metropolitan area at nightfall, causing roadway hazards and wrecks.
Mandatory evacuations had been ordered for Lake Elsinore residents along Alberhill Ranch Road and Amorose Street, residents west of Laguna Avenue, as well as residents on Glen Eden Road south of Corona, the Glen Ivy Hot Springs community, the Horsethief Canyon community and the area around McVicker Park in Lake Elsinore.
Those orders were lifted early Friday morning.
The NWS is forecasting less than one-tenth of an inch of rain in the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning and around one-tenth of an inch in the San Jacinto Mountains. Lake Elsinore, Corona, Riverside and the Coachella Valley were not expected to receive any significant rainfall Friday.
Rain fell Thursday in the burn zone created by the 13,000-acre Cranston Fire and small-scale mud and rock slides were reported, but no evacuations were ordered for the area.
High temperatures Friday are expected to reach 63 degrees in Riverside, 56 in the county mountains, 69 in the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning and 72 in the Coachella Valley.
A cold trough of low pressure will sweep into the region Saturday afternoon and could bring enough moisture to drop light rainfall through Sunday morning, NWS forecasters said.

It is a pleasure, indeed, to encounter a comprehensive book that can be read as easily as this one. The chapters by the editors and 11 other authors compose a whole that embraces the early history, the clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory findings, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of infectious mononucleosis. Of special note is an excellent chapter on experimental studies relating to the atypical mononuclear cells in infectious mononucleosis and another on the histopathology of the disease. These areas are fully developed, in contrast with Hoagland's treatise on the subject with which this volume will inevitably be compared. The chapter by

Walking around our little town today, I was astounded at how well the community is thriving.
After coming from university for the final time and settling in back home, I was wandering around the town popping into local businesses asking for temporary employment positions. Not one single business turned me down, they took my curriculum vitae, took time to chat to me and one cafe owner was even kind enough to sit me down with a cup of tea until he could talk to me.
As well as this, I could instantly re-register at my doctors, arranged an appointment at the dentist as early as tomorrow after not being a patient for three years and observed so very many locals enjoying small businesses in Eastwood.
This, in a time when the news is full of headlines of budget cuts, terror threats and 'Brexit' negotiations was a sight that warmed my heart.
I could have re-located anywhere in the country, but I chose to come back home to the place that raised me, and it has welcomed me back with open arms.
So, next time you're out and about, pop into that cafe and have that coffee you're craving. Go and buy that little trinket you've spotted in that craft shop and indulge in your local chippy once in a while. Because, without our support these businesses that make the town great might not be here, and the warmth that I felt in the community today may all but disappear.
Be proud of your roots, and don't forget to water them.

When we are young, we think that things will always be the way they are. Growing up in a small town in Michigan, the Sinclair gas station was something of a beacon to a 10-year-old kid on a bike. On a hot summer's day, I and a friend or two would hop on our bikes and head to the station for an icy-cold O-so grape pop, the grapiest grape soda ever to be found on the planet (or was it Nehi soda?—time takes its toll on the memory).
It was well worth the mile bike ride to arrive at the station and then play a puzzle-game with the dispensing machine, sliding glass bottles around the metal sliding rack to get to the bottle that I wanted to buy. It was like playing a one-dimensional version of a Rubic's cube or one of those little sliding-squares puzzles that you could pick up for a single coin at the five-and-dime store so many years ago.
Once the bottle was in position for removal, things could get quite dicey. The trick to extricating your drink was to insert your dime with your left hand and then pull quickly upward without hesitation with your right hand. If you stopped in mid-course, or somehow allowed the the bottle to slip back even a centimeter, all was lost—the dime, the drink, and your rosy outlook on the day. If you didn't have a second dime, you became one defeated— and thirsty— 10-year-old kid.
Across the street from the Sinclair station was the local bakery. Always one to get the most mileage out of my mileage, I would often wash down my ice cold grape pop with a soft, fresh donut. A fry-cake with chocolate frosting was my favorite, and still is. And while I was out and about and "uptown," I would, of course, stop at the post office and check our post office box for Dad, which was probably a good idea since that was ostensibly the whole reason (or excuse) for going into town in the first place.
Time marches on, and nothing stays the same. That is one of many things that we learn as the years gain on us. A parking lot for the local bank now occupies the space where the Sinclair station once stood. And the old bakery is nowhere to be found. But etched in my memory are those images of a simpler time, a quieter place, a slower-paced life, and the wonder-filled world of a 10-year-old kid.

The windshield repair business in many markets is very competitive today. If you plan on starting a windshield repair business, you should have some commercial contracts ready to go. Also, be prepared to advertise, as this is the key to getting word out about cracked windshields to consumers.
Decide how large a business you want to start. If you are looking to start a small windshield repair business in which you work out of your car and travel to people's cars to fix their windshields, you may just need a windshield repair kit and a car. If you are looking to have a large shop where customers bring their vehicles, a lot more is involved.
Find a place to order windshields of all sizes and shapes that can have them shipped in quickly. You may even decide to have windshields for all types of cars on hand for you to use for customers even more quickly than that.
Target local businesses with large fleets of vehicles. Give them a special deal, if you can have a contract with them to fix the windshields on their vehicles. The more commercial contracts you can have for your business, the more repeat business you will have.
Advertise on local radio stations and in print. Many consumers don't know that their car insurance policies often cover the costs of windshield repair. Educate the public on this through advertising and give the phone number of your business.
Talk with insurance companies about working with them for windshield repair. Many consumers will call their insurance companies with their windshield cracks and chips before they will contact a windshield repair specialist. If you establish relationships with insurance companies, they might refer customers to you.

Health officials in Embu County are on high alert after new cholera infections were reported in the area.
The County Director Health (CDH), Dr. Stephen Kaniaru said the newest case was reported on Tuesday in Kamurugu area, Mbeere South Sub-county.
This brings the number of cholera infections in the County from October 21, when the first case was reported to 47.
Three people, one from Kanduri area, Embu East and two from Mbeere South Sub-counties have since died of the disease, with Dr. Kaniaru saying they delayed before seeking treatment.
Two of the deaths and 27 of the infections were reported in October.
He said tests done to water samples that were taken from water sources and home taps and taken to the government chemist and Water Resource Management Authority (Warma) revealed that most of the water sources have been contaminated with faecal matter.
Cholera is still active in the County and since the beginning of the month, we have been receiving few cases here and there. From the tests, the likelihood cause of outbreak is water and not food, he said, during the marking of the World Toilet Day in Kanduri village, Embu East Sub- County.
He said cholera treatment centres are still operational at the Embu Level 5 Hospital and, Kiritiri, Gategi and Siakago health centres
The official raised concern over the high number of households that don't have latrines, especially in Mbeere North Sub-county.
Statistics show that the county is ranked third in open defecation with the practice being prevalent in 1,186 villages in Mbeere North, which he said, could be one of the causes of the outbreak.
Already, through intervention by the County Health Department and the development arm of the Catholic Church (Caritas), 86 villages in the Sub-county have been able to change attitudes and have since dug latrines.
The project is set to be extended to other parts of the county, especially Muminji and Nthawa wards where open defecation is also common.

Tools to perform flow naturalisation in Caterbury
Project description
This git repository contains project code for the flow naturalisation procedure. The procedure has several modules for performing different tasks that ultimately combine for the naturalisation.
The base class (FlowNat) initialises the tool with a from_date, to_date, min_gaugings, input_sites, and output_path. This sets up and prepares a lot of datasets for the successive modules.
- Modules:
- Querying and/or estimating flow at the input_sites
- Catchment delineation above the input_sites
- Selecting the upstream water abstraction sites from the catchment delineation
- Querying and Estimating water usage when the usage doesn't exist
- Flow naturalisation
Input Parameters
The base class (FlowNat) initialises the tool with a from_date, to_date, min_gaugings, input_sites, rec_data_code, and output_path. This sets up and prepares a lot of datasets for the successive modules. If all of those input parameters are defined at initialisation, then all of the successive modules/methods will not require any other input.
The modules use several python packages for their procedures.
The catchment delineation module uses the python package gistools which has a catchment delineation function. This functions uses the REC stream network version 2 and the associated catchments for determining the catchments above specific points. The flow locations are used to delineate the upstream catchments. The upstream catchments are then used to select the WAPs that are within each catchment. The WAPs were taken from a summary of Accela.
Not all flow locations have a continuous record from a recorder. Consequently, the flow sites with only gaugings need to be correlated to flow sites with (nearly) continuous recorders. This is done via the hydrolm package that uses ordinary least squares regressions of one or two recorders. The F statistic is used to determine the best regression.
Water usage data also needs to be estimated when it doesn't already exist. This was done by grouping the consents by SWAZ and use type and estimating the ratio of usage to allocation. These ratios were then applied at all consents without existing water usage data. This analysis was performed on a monthly scale.
