Vermont Town Mourns Loss Of Historic Covered Bridge
Vermont is home to about 100 historic covered bridges, which attract tourists from around the world. But earlier this month, the bridge in the small town of Troy burned down.
As Vermont Public Radio's Anna Van Dine reports, some residents are mourning the loss of far more than history.

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 22, 2019
"Taking up our cross and following him" (Luke 9: 23).
I'm writing to inquire about the possibility of Notre Dame and the Congregation of Holy Cross mandating a one-credit "clergy sexual abuse prevention course." In 2020, I would like to suggest Notre Dame, Saint Mary's and Holy Cross College complete a campus curriculum study. It would be great to have information from the schools of psychology and psychiatry, the law school, theology and other campus departments as needed. It would be very important to have a major campus-wide forum for students and the general public wishing to offer respectful opinions. This course, if put in, would be required for new and existing priests, clergy, vocational ministers, any religious vocations and brothers within the Congregation of Holy Cross and anyone going for any ordination. This course could also be available as an elective for anyone wishing to learn about prevention in terms of sexual abuse.
I'm also very disappointed with the University's decision allowing former Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick and Cardinal Roger Mahoney to join Fr. Peter Rocca in officiating University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh's funeral in 2015. These cardinals have both faced allegations in serious sexual abuse cases. Fr. Hesburgh and his family were the kindest I've ever met. The Hesburgh family wanted to bring people together. Fr. Hesburgh wanted his legacy preserved and not to attract the social-political negative side of the Roman Catholic Church that needs to change. Recently, Pope Francis acknowledged the church clergy abuse history occurred, and I feel that our Notre Dame, Holy Cross College and Saint Mary's community needs to be a bit more proactive.
Without hesitation, I can say that my experiences as a student at Holy Cross College in 2006-2008, as an alum and while working as a part-time waiter for banquets for "Catering by Design" at the University have had a major influence on my life. It is this community I miss so much. Working at Notre Dame had advantages like attending football games, but some of the best events were private. This included the football kickoff breakfasts with celebrities, private receptions in campus buildings, serving meals to student-athletes, working University President Fr. John Jenkins' President's Gala with the Board of Trustees, doing the fundraiser and ribbon-cutting for Duncan Hall and meeting the late Fr. Theodore Hesburgh and his family at the 35th Anniversary Reception honoring the University's "coeducation of women," which included the release of the official book of letters of alumni, students, professors and friends.
Being unemployed, it's a hardship looking for a way forward. Notre Dame needs to remember to be open minded since they teach mind and heart.
God Bless,
Eric W. Bascom IV

1.Define Microwave?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m, or frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
2.Define Scattering matrix?
Scattering matrix is a squre matrix which gives all the combination of power relationship between the
various input and output ports.
3.Mention the limitation in measuring Z,Y and ABCD parameters at microwave frequencies
ü Non availability of terminal voltage and current measuring equipment
ü Short circuit and open circuit are nit easily achieved for a wide range of frequencies
ü Presence of active devices makes the circuit unstable for short or open circuit
4.A 5dB attenuator is specified as having VSWR of 1.2 assuming that the device is reciprocal find S parameters.
Attenuation dB for any devices is = -20log [s12]
Log s12 = -5/20 = -0.25
(or) [s12] = 10 -0.25 = 0.56
Thus Г = s11 =VSWR -1/VSWR+1
= 1.2 – 1/1.2+1 = 0.2/2.22 = 0.091
4. Name the properties of S – Parameters?
It possess symmetric property sij =sji
It possess unitary property [s][s]*=[i]
6.Draw the equivalent circuit for practical capacitor
7.Define reciprocal and symmetrical networks?
The reciprocal device has a same transmission characteristics in either direction of a pair of ports and is characterized by a symmetric scattering matrix
Sij = Sji ; i !=j
Which results [s]t = [s]
8.Express power input and power output under matched conditions for a two port network in terms of wave components
Pin = ½ [an]2
Prn = ½ [bn]2
9. Draw the equivalent circuit for a inductor at radio frequency
10.List any four reasons for wide use of RF?
ü Because of high operating frequency microwave system can carry large quantities of information
ü High frequency mean short wavelength , which require relatively small antennas
ü Microwave signals are more easily propagated around physical obstacles , such as water and high mountains
ü Fewer repeaters are necessary for amplification
ü Increased bandwidth availability
ü Minimal cross talk
11.Give the relationship between [s] and [z] matrix
13. Draw the high frequency equivalent circuit for resistor and inductor
14. Why the s-parameters are used in microwaves?
The H, Y, Z and ABCD parameters are difficult at microwave frequencies due to the following reasons. (i)Equipment is not readily available to measure total voltage and total current at the ports of the network.
(ii) Short circuit and open circuit are difficult to achieve over a wide range of frequencies.
(iii) Presence of active devices makes the circuit unstable for short or open circuit.
(iv) Therefore microwave circuits are analyzed using scattering or S parameters which linearly relate the reflected wave amplitude with those of incident waves.
15 .What is the Scattering matrix for N port device?
[S]= S11 S12 S13…… S1n S21 S22 …………S2n
S31 S32 ………….S3n
. .
. .
Sm1 Sm2 ………...Smm
16. Give the application of microwave
ü Satellite communication
ü Telemetry
ü Microwave oven
ü Transmission of video signals
ü Microwave diathermy

Introduction and Goals
Looping allows you to perform repeated actions a specified number of times
- How to construct a Loop in the Tree Builder
- Learn about the parameters used by a Loop Head and Loop Tail
- How to read a Run of a Loop
Looping Video
Looping in workflow lets you process a set of nodes a specific number of times. However, don't think of looping the like loop structure in a programming language. Looping depends on the Data Source and the Loop Path to determine the number of times the Loop is processed and what is processed. These elements don't change once the loop starts processing.
Constructing the Loop
A Loop consists of three parts, Loop Head, Loop Tail, and any tasks processed during the loop.
Loop Head
The Loop Head is the first node in a loop and holds the Data Source, Loop Path, and Variable Name.
Data Source is either an XML or JSON string. It is normally the result of another node that is passed to the Loop Head.
Loop Path is normally static text that is used to parse either the XML or JSON.
XML Example:
Data Source:
Loop Path:
Result: Three loop interations using the values han, luke, rey
JSON Example:
JsonPath documentation here
Data Source:
Loop Path:
Result: Four loop iterations using the values pilot, CRV, Explorer, Edge
Variable Name was used to indicate the output for each loop iteration, but is not commonly used anymore.
Here's a screenshot of the JSON Loop Head:
Loop Tail
The Loop Tail decides when processing exits the loop and continues the tree. A Loop Tail is nearly identical to a Join Node. Instead of using individual branches to compare to its parameter choices (All, Any, Some), it uses loop iterations.
Loop Tails should be connected directly to Loop Head nodes. As long as you add the Loop Tail node directly after the Loop Head, the connection should be fine.
Reading a Loop Run
Because a Loop processes the same nodes (Loop Heads and the nodes within a loop) a variable number of times, they are notated like an array. In the following screenshot, there is just one node in the Loop called Loop Operation, but you can see it processed multiple times. There is also one Loop Head for each iteration, but only one Loop Tail.
In the Next Article
That is it for the 200 level articles and videos. Congratualtions!

Part of Provincial highway no. 9, Bei Yi Highway connects Taipei and Yilan County. The highway used to be a fatal road in Taiwan due to bad road conditions. Lots of ghost money (joss money) along the highway was a common sight in the past. The ghost money was scattered on the highway to appease the spirits. Recently, the highway becomes the most popular heavy motorcycle route in Taipei and frequent fatal accidents continue to mount.
The Taipei-Yilan Highway has been voted Taiwan's most-haunted site in an online survey of the nation's top 10 haunted places conducted by Internet portal Yam.com.
The winding mountain road, which runs from New Taipei City's Xindian District (新店) to Yilan County — also known as Provincial Highway No. 9 — has many hairpin turns. It has been dubbed the "Highway of Death," because of the many fatal accidents that have happened on it. In recent years, traffic on the road has declined considerably with the opening of the Hsuehshan Tunnel and the Chiang Wei-shui Memorial Freeway (Freeway No. 5) in June 2006.
Some motorists have reported seeing ghostly apparitions, human-like figures shrouded in white floating through the air, while driving the mountainous area.
Drivers have been warned against speaking to or picking up female hitchhikers at night on the road, as there are a number of tales about such incidents having scary endings.
Yilan County Councilor Tsai Wen-yi (蔡文益) said the Taipei-Yilan Highway has seen reduced traffic and fewer accidents since the Hsuehshan Tunnel began operating in 2006.
"A program was implemented to widen the road and it was made more beautiful with landscaping works. Thus it is now more suited for leisure and tourism. The ghost stories are from the past and have no connection to the road's new look," Tsai said.
No. 2 on the online poll is Greater Taichung's Port Road, the site of the Wellcome Restaurant blaze in 1995 that resulted in 64 deaths. It is the worst fire disaster in the nation's history.
Locals claim to have seen a "ghost ship" appearing over the site late at night, with anecdotes saying the phantom ship will only set sail after it has gathered 100 souls.
Though two decades have passed, some locals say they are still scared when the restaurant and the fire are mentioned.
Greater Taichung City Councilor Huang Kuo-shu (黃國書) said the location was once a lively business section in the city, "but since the fire, the area has declined considerably."
"We would like to revitalize the neighborhood," Huang said.
It has been two decades since the fire and most people have forgotten about it, unless they are old residents in the area, he added.
Huang said the area has the just-launched Taichung rapid bus route passing through it with a stop nearby, as well as new hotels and stores opening, and the locals are happy to see signs of rejuvenation.
"Things are coming back to life, but now that it has come up in this list of haunted places. People in the area feel frustrated," he said.
Taipei's Xinhai Tunnel is No. 3 on the list. The location is a rich source of ghost stories, with scary experiences claimed by motorists passing through it late at night. The tunnel passes under an old graveyard, and the Taipei Municipal Second Funeral Parlor is at the Taipei-side entrance.
Other places on the list include Dayuan Township (大園) in Taoyuan County (the site of crash of China Airlines Flight 676 in 1998), Ita-Thao Harbor at Sun Moon Lake, an abandoned hospital in Greater Tainan, Daren Hall at the Chinese Culture University, a house in Chiayi County's Mingsyong Township (民雄) that is said to be haunted, Taipei's Sining Public Housing Apartments and Meichi Night Club in Keelung, which is said to be haunted.
Yam.com said the online poll took place between July 11 and Friday, and received 40,000 votes.
The seventh month of the lunar calendar is traditionally known as Ghost Month, and it began yesterday.
Taiwanese traditionally believe that during Ghost Month, the door to the underworld opens so that the spirits of the dead can come back to the world and partake of food offerings prepared by family members.

Embassy of Afghanistan Expresses Condolences to the Afghan People upon the Passing of Father of the Nation Mohammad Zahir Shah
Click here for Dari/Pashto
His Majesty Mohammad Zahir Shah, former King and Father of the Nation, passed away on Monday, July 23 at the age of 92. The late Mohammad Zahir Shah was known as the father of democracy and a symbol of national unity in Afghanistan. The Government of Afghanistan has announced a 3-day mourning period, during which all flags will fly at half mast.
President Karzai announced the former King's passing at a news conference in Kabul, praising the king for bringing development and education to Afghanistan. "With paramount grief, I would like to inform my countrymen that Mohammad Zahir Shah has bid farewell to this mortal world…He was the friend of his people. He believed in the rule of the people and in human rights," said President Karzai.
The Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, DC expressed its condolences to the family of the late former King Zahir Shah and to the people of Afghanistan. "His Majesty the former King will live in the hearts of the Afghan people and will be remembered as a benevolent, modest, unifying, just and patriotic leader. The former King was dedicated to Afghanistan's future, and worked throughout his life to further peace and strengthen justice. Today the Afghan nation has lost a loving father and patriarch," said Ambassador Said T. Jawad.
The Embassy held a book of condolence signing for all diplomatic missions and international organizations on Wednesday July 25 and Thursday July 26. Representatives from Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Iran, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lichtenstein, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Palestine, Pakistan, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, St. Lucia, Sweden, Tajikistan, Turkey, Ukraine, UAE, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam and Zambia, as well as numerous offices from the U.S. government paid their respects at the Embassy.
The Embassy would also like to thank everyone who sent in messages of condolences by phone, fax and mail.
Fateha prayer services for the Afghan community were held on Sunday July 29 at the Washington Irving Middle School 8100 Old Keene Mill Rd. Springfield, VA. To watch a Voice of America report on the Fateha, please CLICK HERE.
Through his 40-year reign from 1933–1973, King Zahir Shah was a cherished symbol of peace and unity. Born October 15, 1914, Zahir Shah was proclaimed monarch in 1933 at age 19.. Guided by an enlightened vision of a modern Afghanistan, the King transformed the country into a constitutional monarchy in 1964. The new constitution mandated primary education for all children, and gave women the right to vote, attend school and work. King Zahir Shah built Afghanistan's first university.
Former King Zahir Shah returned to Afghanistan after nearly 30 years of exile in April 2002. "I wish just to be able to contribute to my country and serve my people," he said upon his return. The former King played a vital role in Afghanistan's reconstruction process, presiding over the Loya Jirga that produced the Interim Afghan administration. He was given the tile of bab-i-millat or Father of the Nation, and was regularly consulted by the Afghan government and visiting dignitaries. His presence in Kabul was a source of pride and tranquility for the Afghan people.
The former King was laid to rest in a mausoleum next to his father on a hill overlooking Kabul.

Last Sunday we celebrated "Mothers Day". It is the day where the world pays tribute to the one who bring us out in this world, the one who suffer the pain of labor without regrets and that is after carrying us in her womb for 9 months with smile and without getting tired.
A one day celebration is not enough to show our love and gratitude to our mother who loves us unconditionally and endlessly. Our mom is the one who see to it that we are provided of our daily needs. Our mom is the one who taught us how to walk and speak.
She is our superhero who is always been there whenever we need her even if we are not asking her to do so. How can we repay her love? Love can only repaid by love. Love her the way she loves you. Provide all the needs she needs, teach her the new things she didn't know and make her experience the best of life.
When you are young she sacrificed herself. She thinks of your needs first more than hers. Now, she's old and she's tired. What can you offer her is to relax and stop being a mom for one day. For once, let her think about herself and her happiness. Give her what she wants. It is more than she deserves.
Let her sleep in a relaxing ambiance of spa while the professionals do her thing with her and let her wake up feeling refreshed and beautiful. This is one thing that you can do and there is a lot more!
What about a hug? Give her a tight hug and let your body say the words of thanks and love. Let your hug tell her that she can now depend on you and that you will be always here for her. Smile. Give her the sweetest smile and kiss her. I'm sure tear will fall down from her face because the message is clear with her. It is just like saying I'm grateful that you are my mother, I adore you and I respect you. Why not speak the words itself? Say, "I love you mom!". It is the best music in her ear.
This things are very powerful though a little cheesy but so cheap and cannot replace by any expensive gifts.
Your time is another gift you can give to her. Just sit beside her, sip tea together and listen to her stories. Laugh your hearts out, it is the best memory she will always recall.
We only have one mother in this world, do this before it is too late. She will not always be here for us so cherish her. This is not only for biological moms but it goes as well to all the people who act like mom to you and I'm sure there is always one.
Belated Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in the world. Know that you are loved! Cheers to the wonderful life of motherhood.

5% Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Stock: In Stock
- Product Code: 9551003171064
A highly-potent, skin-renewing serum that promotes healthy cell turnover to noticeably improve both tone and texture while protecting against oxidative damage in regulation of the aging process.
Alpha Lipoic Acid, an organic compound synthesized enzymatically by mitochondria found inside the body, is water- and fat-soluble, which allows it to work in every cell or tissue, with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that can inhibit the cross-linking among proteins responsible for wrinkles and other age-related skin changes while enhancing the skin's natural exfoliating capacity thus stimulating new collagen production. Uniquely, this also has the ability to recycle or regenerate the reduced forms of various other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, back to their respective active states.
Blended with 7 Activating Soothener that not only adds to further its antioxidative ability and performance, elevating their overall blemish-reducing and glow-inducing benefits, but also aid in support or acceleration of cutaneous repair to ensure optimum skin renewal with minimal irritation.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid)
- 7 Activating Soothener (Centella Asiatica, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root, Green Tea, Licorice Root, Chamomile Flower, Rosemary Leaf)
- All skin types
(except those with particularly irritated or highly sensitive skin)
Looking to regenerate healthy skin complexion and overall texture.
- Mature, aging
Looking to better smooth and refine the skin while slowing down the visible signs of aging as well as photo-aging.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is considerably vulnerable to UV irradiation, and may cause very slight burning/warming or mild occasional stinging/tingling sensation on areas of the skin exposed – which is why it would serve more appropriate as a night time treatment, starting slowly at first (about once a week) to gradually build up tolerance before increasing the usage.

While we like to complain about humidity levels during the summer months, the moisture in the air is actually a good thing when controlled inside your home. There are a great deal of ailments and issues associated with poorly controlled environments, including bloody noses, scratchy throats, and dry skin. However, you don't have to live with these conditions if you consider the installation of a humidifier system within your home. If you're considering humidifier installation, here is what you need to know.
- Do You Really Need It? – Humidity levels should be regulated within your home by your HVAC system, but this isn't always what happens. HVAC systems can't always mitigate the leeching of humidity from your home, unfortunately, so if you're noticing any of the aforementioned symptoms, a humidifier system may be something you want to consider.
- What Type of System Do You Need? – There are whole home systems and systems designed for invidiual rooms in your home, but you'll need to determine which of these you'll need. An HVAC professional can also help you figure out if the air is dry throughout your home, or just in particular rooms.
- What Style? – There are steam humidifiers, where water is heated and then pushed through the existing ductwork of your home. There are also evaporative humidifiers which use a pad, and the furnace fan pushes the moist air throughout the house. Determining which of these styles you need will be up to personal preference, but your HVAC team can help you, as well.
- What Will it Cost? – The cost will be entirely dependent upon which type of system you choose, what style, and the installation costs associated with your humidifier. Only by consulting your local HVAC company can you get a realistic view of the costs, but keep in mind that overly dry air can cause more issues that incur costs than that of the installation fees.
- How Much Maintenance Will it Require? – Certainly, the small humidifiers that are available for purchase in stores require very little maintenance, but if they're not maintained properly they can lead to mold and mildew issues, causing further breathing issues. If you're consider a humidifier system in your home, also consider the idea of purchasing some sort of maintenance plan with your HVAC company and rest assured that the maintenance and upkeep should be included in such a plan.
If dry air, dry skin, and dry hair are a problem in your home, it may be time to consider installing a humidifier. Contact us for more information!

Walk Barefoot On The Grass, It Can Improve Your Health
It is not a secret that spending time in nature is good for you. For years, researchers have been detailing how people who live near green spaces – parks, greenbelts, tree-lined streets, rural landscapes – have better physical and mental health, and practices such as Japanese forest bathing and Nordic hygge, which has a strong outdoorsy component, are being embraced here in the United States. Could grounding be next? I was intrigued when a colleague recently recommended a mutual patient – seeing her for stress management and me for nutritional…Read More

Title: Department of Atmospheric Sciences Records, 1968-1994
Primary Creator: Oregon State University. Department of Atmospheric Sciences
Extent: 2.25 cubic feet
Arrangement: Organized into two subgroups: 1. Departmental Records; and 2. Climatic Research Institute Records.
Languages of Materials: English [eng]
Subgroup 1 includes files pertaining to graduate student policies and to the purchase/donation of a scientific library to the department. The Climatic Research Institute (CRI) Subgroup contains five series. The first series consists of 73 research reports produced by CRI between 1978 and 1989. Series two is a 1981 grant proposal to the National Science Foundation. Series three includes general files pertaining to CRI's administration, programs, visitors, and special events. Series four consists of newspaper clippings about CRI. Series five consists of monthly and yearly weather summaries and climatological data for Corvallis, Oregon.
An addition to the College of Atmospheric Sciences Department Records (Accession 2001:096) consists of records generated by the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and includes brochures, correspondence, course syllabi and exams, newspaper clippings, postcards, and reports. Among the subjects covered in these records include: the re-organization and merger of the dept. with the College of Oceanography, faculty and student awards, weekly lecture postings for the 407/507 seminar class, workshops and meetings sponsored by the dept., and social events organized by the staff of the dept. Established in 1969 within the College of Science, the Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences merged with the College of Oceanographic Sciences in 1992 forming the College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences.
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences was established in 1969 within the School (now College) of Science to emphasize coursework and research on air pollution control, atmospheric chemistry and biometeorology. The first degree programs were graduate level only. Wendell Hewson was the first department chair. In 1992 the department was merged with the College of Oceanography (the latter then became the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences).
The Climatic Research Institute was established in 1976 in order to help meet the "need for coordinated and intensified climatic research." In 1978 CRI received a National Science Foundation Grant of $225,000 to participate in an international effort to monitor world weather patterns. W. Lawrence Gates was the director of CRI from its establishment until it was disbanded in 1989.

1. Notice Confined to the New Testament:
A town in Galilee, the home of Joseph. and the Virgin Mary, and for about 30 years the scene of the Saviour's life (Matthew 2:23; Mark 1:9; Luke 2:39 , Luke 2:51; Luke 4:16 , etc.). He was therefore called Jesus of Nazareth, although His birthplace was Bethlehem; and those who became His disciples were known as Nazarenes. This is the name, with slight modification, used to this day by Moslems for Christians,
The town is not named in the Old Testament, although the presence of a spring and the convenience of the site make it probable that the place was occupied in old times. Quaresimus learned that the ancient name was
2. Position and Physical Features:
The ancient town is represented by the modern
3. Present Inhabitants:
There are now some 7,000 inhabitants, mainly Christian, of whom the Greek Orthodox church claims about 3,000. Moslems number about 1,600. There are no Jews. It is the chief market town for the pastoral and agricultural district that lies around it.
4. Labors of Jesus:
In Nazareth, Jesus preached His first recorded sermon (Luke 4:16 ff), when His plainness of speech aroused the homicidal fury of His hearers. "He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief" ( Matthew 13:58 ). Finding no rest or security in Nazareth, He made His home in Capernaum. The reproach implied in Nathanael's question, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" (John 1:46 ), has led to much speculation. By ingenious emendation of the text Cheyne would read, "Can the Holy One proceed from Nazareth?" (EB , under the word). Perhaps, however, we should see no more in this than the acquiescence of Nathanael's humble spirit in the lowly estimate of his native province entertained by the leaders of his people in Judea.
5. Later History:
Christians are said to have first settled here in the time of Constantine (Epiphanius), whose mother Helena built the Church of the Annunciation. In crusading times it was the seat of the bishop of Bethscan. It passed into Moslem hands after the disaster to the Crusaders at

Sharing Industry Knowledge, Lessons-Learned and Published Presentations
Engineer Meets GIS Specialist
Innovations in Construction Methodology
It's no secret that collaboration breeds innovation.
A great idea remains an idea unless it has people behind it who can contribute their expertise to making it a reality. Wilbur and Orville Wright worked together to create the first fixed-wing aircraft, revolutionizing aviation. Marie Curie, with her husband Pierre, developed the theory of radioactivity, discovered two elements, and was awarded two Nobel Prizes. More recently, Matt Clickner and Justin Driver have collaborated to develop faster, more accurate ways to perform pipeline design engineering tasks and analyses.
Watch the video below to learn more about Matt and Justin's pioneering process of construction methodology and material design development:
Matt, as an engineer, what inspired you to start using GIS? How has it benefited you?
Matt: I'm an engineer by education and trade but am part of the project management group. So I've had exposure to both, which I think has played a big role in helping to develop some of this construction methodology and development design work.
The inspiration for starting to use GIS was [a project in which] we needed to increase our efficiency with data creation, analysis, and design engineering tasks. The tasks, done manually on the alignment sheets, needed to be done quicker and earlier so that when we got to the alignment sheets the data flowed more smoothly.
Justin, you're a GIS analyst and our main developer. Can you explain what a custom geoprocessing tool is?
Justin: The custom script tools I've worked on are basically automated processes designed with Python (a scripting language). The scripts are used to manipulate, customize, and tie together out-of-the-box ArcGIS geoprocessing functionalities. There is more work on the front end to create one, but once complete, you can use it countless times. [Running a tool] is very quick - for example, a process that would take a day to do [manually] can get down to ten minutes.
What are the benefits of you guys combining your areas of expertise?
Justin: Matt knowing GIS is important, because it is a huge part of him understanding what we can do. Even if I don't always understand the engineering side, I can ask him the nitty-gritty questions. I can come down the hall and ask him "does this make sense?"
Matt: The reverse of that is true as well. Justin knows the spatial and coding elements of this way better than I do. He is able to take the goal I am trying to achieve and relate it back through a tool. We both have been able to take ownership of these processes on both sides, Justin understanding enough of the engineering to get the tool put together, and me understanding the tool enough to feel confident that we can move forward with it as part of our design element.
As a basic primer, what does your construction methodology and material design development process help determine?
Matt: As zoomed out as you can get, this process helps determine material placement throughout the pipeline, typically from site to site. At the moment, this is meant for pipe to be evaluated for alignment sheets. It helps select what pipe weight, coating, and length goes where, what methodology you are using, start and stop of bores. The class location tool that we have in-house helps select what pipe weights to use, based upon the pipe specifications coming from engineering, project management, and the client.
Our process uses engineering and project design criteria to develop a spatial product, which can then be used to create the alignment sheets and populate all the material bands. It allows you to do quicker pipe material quantity takeoffs and gives you access to your design data much earlier than you are used to; normally this information is unavailable until the alignment sheets have been cut, but this data goes towards developing those alignment sheets so it is readily available and accessible from the start of the project.
Have there been lots of changes made to the process as you have developed it?
Matt: Constantly. The process is only as good as the tools that define it and develop it. It's certainly a living and breathing process that will continue to develop; I don't think it will ever stop.
What value does your process bring to the industry?
Matt: The largest [value] that I have seen is the traceability of the design; being able to go back and see how things were developed and why. The second biggest value I have seen is how early on you can get a handle on the design and material information.
Having this information up front and available to multiple people makes it a much more open process. Getting a project manager in on the front end to learn how the information is developed may affect their understanding of how the project works. Vice versa with engineers - having engineers understand that there is a real world impact. Don't sacrifice design, but optimize design for the sake of the project.
It's not just the same result done in half the time: it's a better product, done quicker.
Do you see any additional areas where engineering and GIS could work together?
Justin: I think there will be more opportunities in the future for project management solutions. I see GIS as a technology and an expertise that can provide solutions to multiple disciplines. I think that one of our goals is to continually improve; definitely to improve what we already have, and to come up with new solutions.
Matt: I'm interested to see how the real world use of this data, that is right now just on computer and paper, can actually affect the construction of the pipeline. I think that GIS can help the client better manage As Built data, so that they know what they have in the ground once it is up and running. If you think about the life of a pipeline, the construction and design may take two to two and a half years and then it runs for fifty, so forty years down the road, how can we help the operator?
Also, it's interesting to see how or if we can provide our line pipe design information to contractors and/or inspectors . They can have the paper alignment sheets or a tablet where they can zoom in on the current locations to verify the contractor is using the right type of pipe and that the field bending angles are correct.
We see someone else who is doing something that seems very expensive and we probably could do it cheaper in-house. Just put Justin behind a computer and let him figure it out. That's been the goal so far and it's been working really well. The more we work on it, the more stuff that will come out of it, which is fun to see.
How important has it been to have the support of individuals in other groups?
Matt: Very. Justin and I have limited pipeline experience, as far as construction and design goes.
Justin: We're young dudes.
Matt: Being able to rely on someone that knows compliance and integrity, someone who knows design codes, being able to refer to them to make sure that not only what we are doing passes their criteria but that we understand what we are doing. We want to walk through our own personal processes so that we can take ownership of it. We don't want to have to defer to someone else, we want to stand in front and say this is how we developed it, this is what it does and this is why it works.
Justin: Our successes have earned trust that we can come up with a product that is going to help in the larger goal of getting information to the client and getting the pipeline into the ground. There is a level of trust but that doesn't mean that we are the only eyes on this stuff. It is being checked by multiple people that have a lot of experience with this stuff and it's getting signed off on. And to know that they are behind our efforts is very satisfying.
Matt: It's been interesting balancing being given trust and a healthy amount of oversight, because not much gets past PCS without filtering through someone who is looking at it with a fine-toothed comb. Which I'm thankful for, to make sure we are doing our jobs right.
Final question: who would you thank in your Oscar's speech for Construction Methodology?
Matt: My wife, God, Leonardo DiCaprio. That's it.
Justin: Jeff Richardson is a big part of this, believing in GIS technology and also us as PCS employees. John Davis has opened up my time so I can work on these things. Of course everybody within the GIS group has in some way pitched in.
Matt: People who are willing and able to open up and let this process work on their project- that's the only way it gets better, by doing it over and over.
Being part of the project management group, I would also add Leon Proper for wanting to put resources, time, and energy towards this and [enabling] me to go down to Metairie and talk to Jeff in person. Also Barry Frederick, who normally defers to Jeff design-wise, but has been very open; as long as it provides a good solution, he is happy to use it.
And Justin- I would say without a doubt that someone else could have done my job, but I don't think anyone else at PCS could have done Justin's job on this one. There is a huge knowledge base there; he can take a general goal of what we are looking for and write line after line of code to develop something that works.

Kronos Quartet Blends Words, Music, and Magic to Celebrate Pete Seeger
Kronos Quartet (photo by Jay Blakesberg)
"Pete Seeger has been part of my life for as long as I can remember," Kronos Quartet founder and first violinist David Harrington says in an announcement for the Grammy-winning ensemble's new album, Long Time Passing: Kronos Quartet and Friends Celebrate Pete Seeger, out this Friday on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
Harrington grew up listening to Seeger's records, and his own work as a musician has a lot in common with Seeger's wide views on both music and the world. Since 1973, Kronos Quartet — Harrington plus current members John Sherba on violin, Hank Dutt on viola, and Sunny Yang on cello — has created music that spans continents and genres and speaks to a variety of social justice causes with deep passion and classically rooted sounds infused with modern energy and unique arrangements.
Last year, to celebrate what would have been Pete Seeger's 100th birthday, the FreshGrass Foundation (the nonprofit organization that publishes No Depression) commissioned Kronos Quartet to create music that remarked on Seeger's spirit and legacy. The songs, composed by Jacob Garchik, were heard in the quartet's live performances in 2019, including the full program at last year's FreshGrass Festival in North Adams, Massachusetts. And now they have been recorded for Long Time Passing. (Read more about the commission here, in an excerpt from our Summer 2019 "Folk" print issue.)
While certainly fans of Seeger's music will hear some familiar melodies on the album ("Which Side Are You On," "If I Had a Hammer," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and many more "greatest hits" are included on the track listing), calling it a covers project wouldn't begin to, well, cover it. The arrangements are powerful and feel fully present in today's world, and while Seeger's traditional folk music sounds are part of the mix, Kronos Quartet takes the songs to a new place, finding new ways for their messages to ring out in a troubled world. On "Garbage," for instance, the strings add menacing muscle to a song that's playful on the surface, adding some punch to Seeger's warning about pollution and the apathy that class division allows.
Among the guest musicians adding vocals and expanding the instrumental palette of the music are Sam Amidon, Aoife O'Donovan, and North Carolina banjo player and storyteller Lee Knight. Most of the songs on Long Time Passing are adaptations of Seeger's, but a few honor him by carrying the torch, putting the power of protest into songs that address ongoing injustices. One such song is "The President Sang Amazing Grace," written by Zoe Mulford after nine Black worshippers were murdered at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, and memorably recorded by Joan Baez in 2018. Here, San Francisco-based singer Meklit puts her whole soul into a melody that feels like a prayer, over a simple string arrangement that leaves room for the lyrics, and the silences between them, to beam straight to the heart.
Throughout the 16-minute piece "Storyteller," which Kronos Quartet performed during its "Music for Change: Pete Seeger @ 100" performance at last year's FreshGrass Festival, Seeger's own voice weaves amid traditional tunes and other sounds from the quartet, commenting on music, climate change, socialism ("a word we don't agree on"), and more. It's a powerful show of what music and words together can do, and how protest music passes from person to person, era to era, to make something timeless and essentially human.

The Rent Trap
How we Fell into It and How we Get Out of It
Series: Left Book Club
Rosie Walker and Samir Jeraj offer the first critical account of what is really going on in the private rented sector and expose the powers conspiring to oppose regulation. A quarter of British MPs are landlords, rent strike is almost impossible and snap evictions are growing, but in the light of these hurdles The Rent Trap shows how to fight back.
Drawing on inspiration from movements in the UK, Europe and further afield, The Rent Trap coheres current experiences of those fighting the financial burdens, health risks and vicious behaviour of landlords in an attempt to put an end to the dominant narratives that normalise rent extraction and undermine our fundamental rights.
Published in partnership with the Left Book Club.
Rosie Walker the co-author of The Rent Trap (Pluto, 2016), is a social policy writer and researcher interested in housing, inequality, employment rights and debt. She writes for the Guardian, Observer, Independent, Inside Housing and Third Sector. As a researcher she has worked for London School of Economics, University of Bristol and University of Brighton.
