A ball bearing is a rolling bearing which features metal balls between a rotating or oscillating shaft and outer ring. With applications in everything from bicycle wheels to aerospace engineering, ball bearings are designed to reduce rotational friction while supporting radial loads. Incorporating a rolling element that guarantees a low coefficient of friction, ball bearings ensure smooth and uninterrupted rotation of, for example, an axel or motor shaft.
What are deep-grove ball bearings?
Deep-groove ball bearings are available for when higher load capacity is required, and self-aligning ball bearings are also available for applications where misalignment is a concern, such as high vibration conditions.
What types are there?
Ball bearings are available in open and sealed versions, depending on the environmental requirements. They are also available in a range of diameters, supplied in metric sizes. Types include:
Angular Contact
Deep Groove
Self Aligning

Burglar is perhaps the wierdest word I've ever seen. Get this:
I left a bar in downtown Denver with about twelve friends late last night. There was such a random group of us gallavanting, that we just assumed someone knew "that guy in the leather jacket." We found out later no one knew who he was. At that point, it was too late. So the bar had closed and we split up and took a cab and a car back to Marisa's house where there proceeded to be a dance party, snacking, and heavy conversations. Next thing we knew, "that guy in the leather jacket" had STOLEN Marisa's car. He had taken her wallet and her keys off the table, went out to the driveway and drove her car away without anyone noticing until he was gone! What the?? The crazy thing is that this exact same thing happened to my friend Erin up at CSU. Keys: not on the table anymore. Car: gone. PANIC ATTACK.
The fool parked illegally somewhere at about 3 in the morning, so the car was towed and impounded, and this morning Marisa went to pick it up with her dad. She had to pay a hundred bucks to retrieve her own car that had been stolen out of her own driveway. This was after the police breathalized her and her roommate and insinuated that because we had been drinking, someone had probably drunk drove the car, crashed it, forgot about it, and reported it stolen because that's what people do. What people??
What kind of people crash their cars, forget, and claim it was thieves?
What kind of people go to a house, hang out, dance, and then STEAL A CAR?
Ridiculous ones. Burglars, that's who.

Predictive Reading
I often start a book not knowing if I'll finish it. I have a graveyard (more kindly called a bookshelf) full of books that aren't quite completed. This is a nasty habit. Can I do anything to improve it?
I'm currently reading The Fractalist by Benoit Mandelbrot. So far, I've spent an hour and five minutes reading the book. If history is any indication, I'll finish it in another four hours and thirty minutes.
What do I mean? Determining the amount of reading time1 to complete a book should be a straightforward prediction problem. The data are all there. How many pages have you read? How long did it take to read those pages? How many pages remain? With these three pieces of information, estimating the amount of time to complete a book is a matter of simple extrapolation: how many minutes, at my reading rate, will it take to read the remaining pages? A very simple word problem, indeed.
Of course, this only becomes simple if we can find a simple functional relationship between the time spent reading and the number of pages read. I'm not a machine (?), but the different pages of a pleasure2-reading book are more or less the same in terms of grammatical structure, vocabulary, and content-difficulty. (I'm not reading James Joyce's Ulysses.) Thus, there should be some consistency in the number of pages I read in a given interval of time.
Fortunately, I've been recording the amount of time it takes me to read a given number of pages for a given book since December 20123. Here is a sample of this data for nine books I've read over the past six months:
As you can see, the number of pages I read in a minute is more or less linear4 as a function of the amount of time I spend reading. This linear form is consistent across books. The only thing that changes is the slope of the line.
This, of course, also makes sense. Different books will have different font sizes, different content difficulty, etc., which should result in differing reading rates. Which makes the concept of a fixed 'reading rate' a bit nebulous5.
The problem with my current approach is that with each new book, I start the prediction problem from scratch. Basically, I have the model \[ Y_{i} = \beta t_{i} + \epsilon_{i},\] where \(Y_{i}\) is the number of pages I've read on the \(i^{\text{th}}\) reading, \(t_{i}\) is the amount of time spent during that reading, \(\epsilon_{i}\) is a fudge factor, and \(\beta\) is my reading rate for a given book. The problem is that, a priori, I don't know how different my reading rate will be on the new book compared to previous books I've read. One way to get around this is to use a mixed-effect model, and assume that my reading rate on a book is some combination of an intrinsic reading rate plus a book-specific reading rate, \[ \beta = \beta_{\text{book}} + \beta_{\text{intrinsic}}.\] (This seems like a reasonable model to me.) I can then use the previous books to inform my guess at \(\beta_{\text{intrinsic}}\), and then estimate \(\beta_{\text{book}}\) from scratch. This is very similar to empirical Bayes, where we use prior information (collected empirically!) to get a better guess at some parameter.
I'd have to spend more time thinking about how to do this type of analysis formally. But that time would be better spent reading these books. So for now, my crude completion estimator will have to do.
As opposed to the number of calendar days. That's a question of behavioral control. Which, presumably, should be made easier with good data. A common pattern from control theory is that we must first be able to accurately monitor a system before we can control it. This applies to life just as much as it does to factories.↩
As opposed to a technical books. A good rule of thumb: never read a math textbook as if you're reading a novel.↩
Has it only been that long? I can't believe I've lived so much of my life in the dark, unable to predict how much more time I would need to commit to a book to complete it.↩
Except, perhaps, for very short amounts of time spent reading. There are myriad explanations for this: I haven't gotten 'in the zone,' the measurements are noisy at shorter reading times (differences across pages haven't had a chance to average out, time measurements are off, etc.).↩
Much like the idea of a fixed intelligence quotient.↩

There are hundreds of different policies you can choose, which makes it hard to know which one is right for you. Once you finish reading this article, you will better understand what insurance you need. Then, you can arrange a better deal on it.
Save money by buying all your insurance from one company. Insurance providers have a handful of discounts that are available, but bundling discounts is an industry standard practice. When trying to find insurance, it is important to get quotes for every policy you need and to find out what multi-policy discounts are offered.
Find an overall insurance carrier to handle all of your insurance needs. If you bundle multiple types of insurance with a single carrier, the savings can be quite large. If you change car insurer to chase a discount, that discount may be nullified by the increase in your homeowner's insurance rate.
A good way to lower your insurance costs can be to bundle several policies with the same company. For example, if you drive both a car and a motorcycle, purchase insurance for both vehicles through the same company. A number of insurance providers also bundle together varying types of home insurance policies. Only purchase the insurance policies you need, and ensure they cover only as much as you require.
To choose appropriate insurance coverage, you need to comprehend without any confusion exactly what the provider is giving you. Never be hesitant or embarrassed about getting confused when it comes to insurance; always ask your insurer to explain things in terms you understand. If you feel that they're not being honest, ask someone knowledgeable about insurance to help you understand the policies.
Record everything from damage to filing to ensure your claim is approved. Record the details of every communication with your insurance company. This will give you a record of your claim's progress. After having face to face talks or phone calls, write letters to confirm what you were verbally told.
It is always smarter to shop around to get the best insurance coverage. Many people only look at the company they already have, rather than seeing if there's a better deal out there. It is worth spending your time while shopping around when it comes down to saving hundreds monthly.
Filing a small claim, even if it would be covered despite your deductible. Your premiums may rise, costing more in the long run than they would have if you had just taken care of small repairs yourself. If you spend a few years without filing a claim, you may get a discount on your premiums. Your full coverage will still be there if you ever have a major accident.
Insurance policies can be fairly complex, especially when you get into all of the coverage details, but these tips should help you choose the best insurance for your needs and for your family. You are likely to get things for a good price if you know more about the product and have a decent background on standard prices for such things.…

The Jaguar, feared and admired by American cultures, protected by biologist and conservancy groups, hated by stockbreeders, threatened by the loss of territory, trophy of hunters, and sought after by the photographers. The Jaguar, Yaguareté or American Tiger (Panthera Onca), is the largest feline on the American continents and the third largest in the world. Until just over a century ago its distribution was very extensive, from the South of the United States of America to the North of Patagonia. But its population currently is dangerously reduced and confined to certain spaces of difficult advance for civilization.
Jaguar, Yaguareté or Tigre Americano (Panthera Onca).
Nikon D4 + Sigma 150-600mm f/6.3 1/1250 ISO3200 @600mm
To photograph Jaguars, the most suitable place is the Pantanal, the largest tropical wetland in the world. Since a few years ago, it went from being a popular fishing region, to being a favorite destination for wildlife photographers and particularly those chasing the big feline. There, navigating the Cuiabá River and tributary rivers that make up an important aquatic network with numerous islands is where the Jaguar is observed from the safety that the boat provides. The alligators are its main food that it seeks by walking along the banks of the wetland.
The habitat of a jaguar is always associated with the presence of water. They can live in different environments, but have a preference for jungles and forests of dense vegetation with the presence of rivers and swamps.
The Jaguar is photographed from boats that have a capacity of 4 to 12 people. The boats are piloted by expert helmsmen who are also guides able to locate the feline in the thickness of the jungle. Therefore, the choice with whom to search is essential to achieve success, since the coat of the jaguar is extraordinarily well adapted to the environment, and if it were not for the keen eye of the guides, it is difficult to discover.
There are times that you can spend a whole day navigating without finding one, but others it is possible to observe several specimens on the same day.
The fantastic part of the experience, is that while sailing looking for the Jaguar, we have the opportunity to be enthralled by the important biodiversity of Pantanal; observing an enormous amount of aquatic birds, three different species of monkeys, giant otters, capybaras and tapirs.
So, as a photographer we must be prepared for everything, hunting for what walks, swims, or flies.

For action photography it is advisable to have a camera that shoots a lot of photos per second. In this way, when the action happens we can shoot a burst of photos to not miss anything that has happened. In addition, they must have a fast autofocus, and the more focus points, the greater the ability to keep focus on a subject that moves.
The reflex cameras (DSLR) are for me, so far, the favorites over the mirrorless type when we are called to action. If we choose a reflex called a crop sensor (APS-C), we have an advantage over the large sensor; this is the crop factor that we talked about in previous newsletters. Read this newsletter for more information.
In practice it means that if we have an APS-C type sensor a 600mm lens will behave as if it was 900mm. This brings an advantage in terms of weight and price: with less money we are getting closer to the subject and carrying less weight than if we wanted to carry a 900mm lens. But the cameras with a large sensor, called Full Frame, have great behavior in the face of digital noise that makes them unbeatable in low light and high ISO conditions.
There are 2 particularly interesting models with APS-C type sensor to enter the world of wildlife photography: Nikon D500 and Canon 7D Mark II. They are distinguished by their great speed of focus and shoot up to 10 photos per second.
With respect to the lens for Pantanal the ideal is to have one that reaches an effective focal length (EFL) of about 900 mm. how we can do that? I can be with a 600 mm lens mounted on a camera with APS-C sensor, or a 600mm plus a 1.4 x teleconverter assembled on a Full Frame camera. Although we will not always need this focal distance, once we have the jaguar located in the forest or on the shore/banks, of course we are going to want to achieve the maximum detail of the animal. Without knowing the optical high quality that has a fixed-focus lens, in Pantanal the zoom lens is preferable because of the versatility that it gives us, the uncertainty of not knowing how far from the boat the action will occur and to the different scenarios in which it can occur. While we are sailing, we can have a giant otter at 3 meters from the boat, a monkey in a tree at 50 meters, or a bird flying relatively close to the boat. The lenses recommended for their price quality ratio are: Sigma 150-600 (contemporary), Tamron 150-600, Nikon 200-500, and Canon 100-400.
Even though Pantanal is a wildlife destination, we need to be preparing to photograph landscapes because there are very interesting opportunities. Therefore we should be thinking to bring a wide-angle type lens to take advantage of such situations that may occur during the day. I use a wide angled effective focal length 14-28 mm mounted on my Lumix GX8 and a Sigma Art 24mm lens for use in a Nikon Full Frame.
The configuration of the camera will be different if it is landscape or wildlife photography. As we saw in previous newsletter my favorite configuration for this activity is:
Autofocus (AF): AF-C in Nikon, AI Servo in Canon.
Focus Area:
Nikon: Single-Point AF and Dynamic Area AF. Also you can do well with group-area AF for the cases where the cameras are provided with this system.
Canon: Single-point AF and AF Point Expansion (expansion of focus points).
I recommend reading this Blog to review focus systems and focus area.
Shooting modes: High speed.
Light measurement: Weighted to the Center.
Recommended Exposure Mode: It is essential to use high shutter speeds because we are shooting action. But it can happen that there are times that we have the animal very close to oneself, and in that case the depth of field happens to have a prominence in our photo. In that case the shutter-priority mode can play a dirty trick on us and result in photos with part of the animal n focus and the rest out of focus. Then we will see that we have other modes of exposure to work.
Shutter Speed Priority: choosing a high shutter speed: 1/1000 ó 1/2000
Aperture Priority: When we are concerned about the depth of field to achieve.
Manual ISO sensitivity: Some cameras have this configuration.
To read more about this topic I recommend this Blog: Exposure mode for fauna photography.
It is amazing to see how the Jaguar blends with its surroundings. It is very likely that we will not see it until an expert points it out
Jaguar vs. Leopard
The Jaguar inhabits the American continent (left) and the leopard (right) is found in Africa and Asia. Both belong to the same genus and are the most spectacular felines to observe. The jaguar is Panthera onca and the leopard is Panthera pardus. They look similar, but the jaguar is stockier and more muscular than the leopard with compact body broader head and powerfull jaws. The jaguars tail is shorter. Though jaguars and leopards both have coats that feature rosette patterns, a jaguar's rosettes have spots inside them. Both jaguars and leopards can have either golden colored fur or appear black, which is called melanistic.

Accurate and timely labor force data is one of, if not, the most important factor in the site selection process. Growing companies will always ask for workforce information such as availability of workers in the area, number of workers by occupation, current unemployment rates, and local industry mix.
Fortunately, the South Dakota Dept. of Labor & Regulation makes it easy to access current labor data for counties, states, and country through the Labor Market Information Center (LMIC) website. The site is organized by types of data available including:
- Employment Projections
- Labor Force
- Labor Supply
- Unemployment Rates
- Wages
- Workers by Industry
Each topic has detailed data available and can be downloaded in excel for customization purposes.
In addition to the site's organization by topic (the click through menu on the right side of the home page) it also offers Community Labor Profiles. These profiles compile pertinent workforce data into one convenient document for a community, county, or multi-county region which is defined by the user.
Labor data for all 50 states is also available for most topics. Each section's landing page states the geographic detail available for data in that topic. For example:
Covered Workers and Pay
Annual Data
Quarterly Data
A wealth of information is available at the LMIC website. With just a couple clicks you can answer most any site selection question on your local labor pool.

Last year, one Rust Belt county in southwestern Ohio saw 349 accidental deaths from opioid overdose – and things are getting worse.
Bodies are arriving at a dizzying, unyielding pace to the coroner's office, showing the scale of the scourge that has hit Ohio harder than any other state in the nation.
No one in Montgomery County needs to rely on federal data to measure the viciousness of the opioid epidemic. As of June 1, the county had tallied 360 drug overdose deaths.
"At this pace, we expect about 800 overdose deaths by the end of 2017," Ken Betz, director of the Montgomery County Coroner's Office, said.
The county has been hit with so many overdose deaths that it even had to build an extension to its morgue last year to accommodate the soaring number of bodies.
The opioid epidemic has claimed lives across the entire socioeconomic spectrum in Ohio, which last year had more fatal drug overdoses than any other state, according to a county-by-county analysis by the Columbus Dispatch.
On Tuesday, the coroner's office confirmed that an overdose of the synthetic opioid carfentanil – which is 10,000 more powerful than morphine — and cocaine had caused the March deaths of a Spirit Airlines pilot, Brian Hayle, 36, and his wife, Courtney, 34. The couple was found in their home by their four children.
Statewide, more than 4,000 people died from drug overdoses last year. And in 2015, Ohio had the highest number of prescription opioid overdose deaths — 1,800 — of any state in the nation, according to the latest figures in an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Ohio state officials filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the pharmaceutical industry over the opioid epidemic, accusing several drug companies of making a concerted effort to mislead doctors and patients about the dangers of addiction to painkillers and possible overdose.
If Montgomery County's opioid death march continues unabated, the area will surpass Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, and have the highest rate of overdose deaths in Ohio.
"The problem is getting worse every day," said Montgomery Sheriff Phil Plummer, who has been so overwhelmed by the toll the epidemic has taken on his county that he personally has launched a multi-pronged fight against it. "We don't have enough police resources to combat it. We work very hard, it's changed our jobs."
The world of opioids has gotten more encompassing and brazen, with Mexican cartels in Ohio not even bothering to mask their role or dodge authorities as they recruit local youth into their illicit trade, enticing them with money, among other things.
The epidemic, indeed, has produced "home-grown" gangs, ensnaring local youths and young adults and using them to supply neighborhoods with increasingly deadly drugs, Plummer said.
The sheriff and his officers have become social workers of a sort, Plummer said, while also bringing the full force of the law down on criminals who sustain and constantly seek to broaden the addiction to opioids and other drugs.
The sheriff and his officers are now driving people who have addictions to treatments centers. They are visiting their homes to try to rally family members to help address a relative's addiction, and they are even hitting neighborhoods every Friday to go after dealers and to spread the word about the lethal consequences of opioids.
The problem is getting worse every day. We don't have enough police resources to combat it. We work very hard, it's changed our jobs.
– Montgomery County (Ohio) Sheriff Phil Plummer
On Thursday, they started what will be weekly visits to churches to raise awareness about opioids and the dangerous substances that are being mixed into them.
"We're trying to be proactive," Plummer said. "People say to us: 'We didn't know, we don't understand' the scope of the crisis."
"I don't know, with everything that's out there, how some people still don't know" about the epidemic.
The grip of the addiction is so intense that addicts are more and more brazen in where and when they smuggle and use the narcotics.
"They're overdosing in the jails and in courtrooms," Plummer said, adding that the demand for treatment is in such excess to the openings at facilities, that his jails have also become detox facilities.
Meanwhile, drug dealers and cartels always look for ways to get ahead of efforts by Plummer — and others like him across the country – and often switch to other substances and methods for getting new buyers and getting them addicted, the sheriff said.
Consider this: People working for the cartels are now going to places such as gas stations and boldly approaching people to give them "samples" or "testers," Plummer said, which are gel caps containing fentanyl or heroin (or both).
They provide these sample bags with, remarkably, business cards so that people can contact them if they want more.
"They're even doing car-to-car" drug deals, Plummer said, so that if they suspect police are approaching, they can just "take off in their car."
We've done so much, but the numbers are going the other way. I don't see the improvement.
– William Denihan, Cuyahoga County Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board
William Denihan, the outgoing chief executive officer of the Cuyahoga County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board, called the opioid epidemic a "tsunami."
"We've done so much, but the numbers are going the other way," Denihan said. "I don't see the improvement."
In Montgomery County, Plummer can relate.
"The frustration part," he said, given all that he and his officers are doing to address the issue from myriad angles, "is that things are just getting worse."

First opened over 35 years in the past, Better Music is an Australian owned and operated unbiased music store located in Canberra, ACT. The main goal of the bridge on an acoustic guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings. Equally, Brian Could is thought to use a sixpence coin as a pick, whereas famous Nineteen Seventies and early Nineteen Eighties session musician David Persons is understood for utilizing old bank cards, cut to the right measurement, as plectrums.
Humbuckers, single coils, Floyd Rose tremolos, and dozens of different features mean there's an instrument match for every player. Renaissance and Baroque guitars are the ancestors of the trendy classical and flamenco guitar They are substantially smaller, more delicate in building, and generate less volume.
Most classical guitars have a neck and headblock carved from one piece of wood, generally known as a "Spanish heel." Commonly used set neck joints embrace mortise and tenon joints (reminiscent of those used by C. F. Martin & Co.), dovetail joints (also utilized by C. F. Martin on the D-28 and similar fashions) and Spanish heel neck joints, which are named after the shoe they resemble and commonly found in classical guitars.
Versatile in its capacity to play different genres, and coming in a variety of types, every guitar has one thing totally different to supply, permitting musicians to make their particular person instrument truly their very own. This is just like the convention of the violin family of instruments the place the appropriate hand controls the bow.
The most typical woods used for electrical guitar physique construction include maple , basswood , ash , poplar , alder , and mahogany Many our bodies consist of fine-sounding but cheap woods, like ash, with a "top", or skinny layer of another, more enticing wood (similar to maple with a natural "flame" pattern) glued to the highest of the basic wooden.

The Washington Post reports, "President Trump on Tuesday appeared to suggest that Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, should face jail time, days after the State Department posted emails found on her estranged husband's computer that included confidential government information." He of course did this all over his favorite medium by which to communicate with the people, by which TRUMPISTAN WATCH of course means media elites, aka the "enemy of the American people," Twitter. The Washington Post adds, "In a tweet, Trump also urged the Justice Department to act in prosecuting Abedin and former FBI director James B. Comey, who the president fired in May amid the mounting investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and contacts between Moscow and Trump's campaign." It tells you precisely how deep under his skin the truth has gotten that it is starting to itch real bad. His insane tweet (among other equals yesterday) is befitting only the most ill suited despots went, "Crooked Hillary Clinton's top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others". "Jail!" and rule of law are not compatible. The backstory is, "The State Department, responding to a lawsuit from Judicial Watch, posted online copies of Abedin's emails from her nongovernment address that had been discovered on the laptop of her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, during an FBI investigation." It is unclear at this time who funds Judicial Watch or its director Tom Fitton, but suffice to say their goal is to destroy the very institution they claim to watch. And, "Trump has previously accused Comey of leaking sensitive information after the former director testified that he had asked a friend to pass on notes he had taken of his interactions with Trump to a reporter for the New York Times in hopes of securing a special prosecutor to take over the Russia investigation. Ethics experts said Comey's actions appeared to be legally protected, provided he did not disclose classified information," The Washington Post adds.

POLITICO reports, "After a year of berating the mainstream media, President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that he will be presenting 'awards' Monday to what he considers to be the worst of the worst." And here is the media covering it and it will megaphone out to the world his attacks on their colleagues like little lapdogs because that is the new infusion of state propaganda in journalism that is so en vogue among the few who hold full time positions and wish to keep them in these, the days of the post-journalism apocalypse. So here, just to show that TRUMPISTAN WATCH is a bit better than this, while infinitely less well compensated, there will be no sharing of the tweet, merely a note that this is truly incompatible with rule of law as we understand our constitution. When a Charlie Hebdo happens here, Trump can wear that blood on his hands. As mother always said, "too many crazies with guns in this country." Will Trump care? Does he care about any of us? It is not just journalists' lives that are cheap to this fake president; it is all human life.

The New York Post does not even bother to dog whistle the racism at the Trumpenproletariat anymore, it is not even code when they write, "Russia probe grand jury looks like 'a Black Lives Matter rally'". The New York Post writes, "The federal grand jury handing down indictments for special counsel Robert Mueller doesn't appear to include any supporters of President Donald Trump, according to one witness who recently testified before the panel." Translation: whoever got a glimpse did not see any outstretched arms or members of the Aryan nation present. The New York Post adds, "Of the 20 jurors, 11 are African-Americans and two were wearing 'peace T-shirts,' the witness said. 'There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.'" Unless there are white men who are truly ignorant, bigoted and a wee bit rapey, Trump will not be treated fairly. Oh and they must exonerate him of all charges. Of note: the whole only white men can treat Trump fairly line will not work with Mueller.

The New York Times features an op-ed from Fusion GPS' co-founder Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, former journalists who cashed in because journalism does not pay. Simpson and Fritsch write, "Three congressional committees have heard over 21 hours of testimony from our firm, Fusion GPS." Then the bombshell: "Republicans have refused to release full transcripts of our firm's testimony, even as they selectively leak details to media outlets on the far right. It's time to share what our company told investigators." So…. Simpson and Fritsch "don't believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.'s investigation into Russian meddling." Wait for it…. According to Simpson and Fritsch, "our sources said the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp." Boom. So who was it? New parlor game! At the wee hour of the morning, the name that sticks out for TRUMPISTAN WATCH as ever present and quietly having bowed out, still seemingly out of trouble is Sam Clovis – but this is pure informed as possible at this stage speculation. And wait for the one on the Republicans in Congress as Simpson and Fritsch, "suggested investigators look into the bank records of Deutsche Bank and others that were funding Mr. Trump's businesses. Congress appears uninterested in that tip." But what is most upsetting? "We did not speak to the F.B.I. and haven't since." Say what? They conclude, "Congress should release transcripts of our firm's testimony, so that the American people can learn the truth about our work and most important, what happened to our democracy." Yeah what did happen to our democracy? Meanwhile over on the Twitter, Magnitsky Act crusader Bill Browder notes, "Glenn Simpson's NYT's oped conveniently omits the fact that he worked for Russian gov't interests trying to repeal Magnitsky Act at the same time as he was working on the dossier".

Unian Information Agency reports, "There is no indication that Russia is seeking a large-scale conflict with a near-peer or peer competitor," according to the RAND Corporation, or as it is known to those on the inside, "Mother RAND". In a report titled, "The Russian Way of Warfare" that was released New Year's Day, defense analyst Scott Boston and defense policy researcher Dara Massicot wrote, "There is no indication that Russia is seeking a large-scale conflict with a near-peer or peer competitor, and indeed it appears Russian leaders understand the disadvantages Russia faces in the event of a prolonged conflict with an adversary like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)". If Mother RAND is wrong about this, it will forever after hang over them, so they must be pretty confident, which means everyone come hither and listen to Mother RAND for a moment. The report came to this conclusion because despite the constant covfefe to the contrary , "Nor is there any indication that the United States, any European state, or China are preparing to launch an attack against Russia, a country that retains a substantial nuclear arsenal and, as will be noted, considerable conventional defenses". Unian Information Agency adds, "RAND says Russia views its efforts to seize Crimea and to destabilize eastern Ukraine as strategically defensive actions: The intent was to preserve the correlation of forces around Russia's borders, to continue to keep Ukraine as a buffer, and to prevent Ukraine becoming too closely aligned with NATO." Unian Information Agency continues, "RAND's researchers predict that conventional and unconventional warfare approaches will likely be mixed in many potential conflict scenarios; special operations forces, paramilitaries, and sympathetic civilians may provide targeting, situational awareness, and some harassment capabilities throughout the battlespace." #MeToo, however, in the infamous words of former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that "Stuff happens," such as mistakes and miscalculations.

The Washington Times reports, "Russian President Vladimir Putin has authorized officials to create a digital currency, or 'cryptoruble,' that uses technology similar to bitcoin and could evade sanctions." One of his economic advisors, "Sergei Glazev, recently told a gathering of Russian government officials that a digital currency could usefully carry out 'sensitive activity on behalf of the state,'" which is obvious code for funding operations and money laundering worldwide. Glazev believes his crypto-ruble can function "with no regard for sanctions".

Think Progress reports, "Eleonora Movsisyan is the CEO and founder of Nail Sunny, a chain of nail salons offering manicures and pedicures in several locations across Moscow. The head of the self-described '#1 nail art chain in Russia' visited Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning for a meeting with her country's new ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Ivanovich Antonov. A photo posted on Movsisyan's personal Instagram account, and on Nail Sunny's company Instagram page, shows that the meeting took place at a popular locale for foreign governments eager to please President Donald Trump: the Trump International Hotel." So you have all the natural questions about the emoluments clause of the constitution, which everyone including a judge last week has chosen to ignore because the presidency is worth as much now as what the Russian nail art lady is willing to pay for a cocktail.

Steven Hall, a former CIA officer, writes in The Cipher Brief of our third world mutation and the overlap between what he experienced in the developing world and is witnessing now in Washington. Hall notes, "To start, the rule of law is much weaker than in more developed countries. Judiciaries can be intensely politicized. Politicians with serious moral and legal flaws (at times rising to the level of war crimes) are sometimes elected by constituents who can relate emotionally to them, often along ethnic or tribal lines. The idea of a loyal opposition—of political parties who disagree vehemently on policy but nevertheless want to improve the country—barely exists, and brutal politics are conducted on a zero-sum basis." Hall adds, "The security services—both intelligence and law enforcement—often are staffed with political hacks far down the chain of command, and are essentially immunized by the head of state against prosecution." As Hall asks, "Sound eerily familiar? How much of what I just wrote now applies to America? Analogies are rarely perfect, but there are enough similarities here to constitute a concerning pattern." Hall is super harsh in that, "Looking at just a smattering of the statements made by President Donald Trump and his administration—as of this writing still less than a year old—one might be forgiven for confusing official U.S. comments with those of a brand-new democracy, rather than the oldest one in the world," but he is not wrong. Of course Trump is using "a classic technique often used by Third World dictators: When you are investigated, attack those doing the investigating." Most disturbingly and as noted very early on in repeated warnings from TRUMPISTAN WATCH, Hall writes, "the Trump team has gone after its various enemies in a way that echoes some of the worst ethnic rivalries I witnessed in the Balkan wars," where he served by the way in the 1990s. Concerns about press freedom are also articulated before Hall concludes, "American democracy is what is now looking more and more Third World."

The New York Times Magazine interviewed Masha Gessen about her new book "The Future Is History," about Russia's return to totalitarianism. Gessen notes, "a people robbed of the tools of self-understanding find themselves at a dead end — actually has relevance to this country." While she does not think, "Americans are at a dead end," she believes, "we should be cognizant of that danger." She notes however that, "Now we're confronted with a nihilistic project of just saying there's no such thing as facts." What she says about the Russia investigation and proving it though is more complex, but it is worth noting she observes, "it's really mostly people trying to make money." Gessen's observations about Putin and Trump bear repeating and are fully endorsed by TRUMPISTAN WATCH: "I think that he feels disappointed. Putin really assumed that once Trump — who had such clear admiration for him — was elected, it would be convenient for Trump to change the relationship with Russia profoundly and instantly. On a larger scale, I think that it's very difficult for Putin to deal with an unpredictable interlocutor, because he has always been the madman on the international stage. Weirdly, I think it would have been easier for Putin to deal with Hillary Clinton, who would have been tough but very consistent." Finally of our fatigue because we feel nothing but higher insurance premiums in our lives, Gessen adds, "We're seeing civil society fatigue with the different iterations of the travel ban, which is basically the exact same travel ban all over again, and that's what I'm really worried about. Gradually, the fatigue is starting to stick." She's right, folks.

NBC News helpfully kicks off the New Year with a reminder that, "The evidence isn't on Trump's side in 'collusion' war of words," – if only it were a war of words! Luckily it is something more, a hybrid war and a puppet presidency, but also something much less than a shooting war. NBC News notes, "Over the Christmas/New Year's holiday, President Trump told the New York Times — 15 different times — that there was 'no collusion' between his 2016 campaign and the Russians. But just two days later, the Times popped this story: The Australians notified the U.S. government, in July 2016, that the Trump campaign knew the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton and her campaign." NBC News notes, "By our count, the Papadopoulos story, which the Mueller probe initially unearthed, is at least the THIRD instance of the Trump campaign or his family having interactions with Russians or WikiLeaks." In recapping the other two instances they site (more are on offer), NBC News recalls Donald Trump Jr. told Russian popstar and oligarchic progeny Emin Agalarov's publicist Rob Goldstone, "If it's what you say, I love it" concerning dirt the Russians may have had on Clinton and Jr. and WikiLeaks traded direct messages over Twitter.

The Washington Post excoriates our fake president who is a very real liar. In what may be the best lede since the reality TV clusterfuck presidency began, The Washington Post writes, "See, what happened is that the boy cried wolf so many times that, when there actually was a wolf, no one believed him. That's the moral of the story: Keep saying something is happening when it isn't and no one will believe you when it is. The title of today's fable, then, is: The President Who Cried Success." Burn. Of course, "We're used to President Trump taking credit for things, deserved or not," and, "He often takes credit in the abstract for other things, such as his Dec. 31 tweet about how his administration was making American great again 'and much faster than anyone thought possible,' as though that were something quantifiable." However, according to The Washington Post, "his Tuesday tweet about airline safety," is the one that "sets a new standard for credit-taking." There were zero aviation deaths in 2017 and of course this is all thanks to our Great Lunatic. Of course, reality is "One reason 2017 saw fewer fatalities among commercial flights is that 2016 saw a fatal accident in Colombia in November — the last time there had been a fatal passenger jet airliner accident." The Washington Post asks, "Did Trump spend his first year quietly bolstering the safety of airlines in Colombia, Lithuania, Tanzania and Indonesia?" To which the Great Lunatic and the grateful Trumpenproletariat would naturally concur he must have in a chorus on unduly praise. Also fun: "The other complication is that the number of deaths on American commercial airlines didn't change in 2017 relative to 2016 — because it's hard to go lower than 'zero,'" The Washington Post notes. All of which begs the question, "Where does the line exist between what's deserved and what's claimed?" Of course The Washington Post wisely notes, "a rationale will be developed to defend his claim." This will take two forms, "Some may seize on the ambiguity in the tweet, a patented Trump move to tell his base what it wants to hear but to give him breathing space from critics: 'He didn't say explicitly that it was because of him!' Others, though, will simply accept the claim as intended," The Washington Post correctly adds. This is madness in the end. Welcome to the funny farm.

POLITICO reports the #MeToo movement and the court of public opinion has reached the judiciary as, "Chief Justice John Roberts, in his annual State of the Judiciary report, said Sunday his branch of government will examine the issue of sexual harassment within the judicial system." So expect to see sexual harassment used stealthily to purge the judiciary in the manner that certain Republicans have spoken of cleaning out the FBI and the Department of Justice. Already, "In California, for instance, Judge Alex Kozinski resigned from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Dec. 18 amid extensive allegations of sexual misconduct." In that case, "Before Kozinski's abrupt exit, many of his law clerks went on to serve at the Supreme Court. Some who worked in Kozinski's chambers are now among those accusing him of making inappropriate sexual comments or showing them pornography." Men can behave as pigs at all levels of public and private life, however, the court of public opinion is not the place to maybe try all these claims and further inches us towards scapegoating and purges, neither of which are healthy in a democracy or any form of government. That said, TRUMPISTAN WATCH recognizes the problem of sexual harassment and gender discrimination is fully real, serious and not to be confused with criticism of purges and politics yet again playing out with women's bodies. It is a strange kind of so-called liberation this #MeToo movement as the get 'em out of here impulse so wholly echoes Trump's own ethos. Is there no chance at rehabilitation through demotion or otherwise? To say nothing of the fact that in environments such as this, innocents can easily be swept in as well.

The Washington Post reports, "On the Friday before Christmas, though, the Interior Department moved to renew expired leases for a copper and nickel mining operation on the border of the park," Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota. This move reverses "a decision that was reached by the Obama administration after careful deliberation," which is what they were known for as opposed to this reckless disregard for procedure and, well, deliberation. So who wins? Well, "This directly benefits the Chilean mining firm owned by billionaire Andrónico Luksic, who rents a six-bedroom mansion to the first daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, in the posh Kalorama neighborhood of Washington," The Washington Post reports. "Reflecting the terrible optics of this, the Interior Department didn't even put out a release to let reporters know the news," The Washington Post notes, adding, "They also didn't give a heads up to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D), who opposes the mines." So, "aides from Interior notified Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Daudt (R), who then broke the story," The Washington Post adds. Of course Luksic denies that his tenants knew anything, everyone is innocent, no innocence was harmed in the making of this item, etc.

One possible casualty: a pay raise that federal employees historically have received when the economy is humming…" The head of the National Treasury Employees Union Tony Reardon said, "Morale has never been lower".

The Washington Post cites a December 29 report in ProPublica, "The Justice Department is pushing for a question on citizenship to be added to the 2020 census, a move that observers say could depress participation by immigrants who fear that the government could use the information against them". What is so deranged about this is normally those who seek to control the population like to know as much as possible about those whom they are seeking to control. The Washington Post adds, "Trump political appointees at DOJ claim that their goal is to use the information to better enforce the Voting Rights Act, but this spin doesn't pass the smell test." The Washington Post adds, "The framers of the Constitution wanted to count everyone in the country, not just citizens. The 1790 census illustrates that, and the full census hasn't included questions about citizenship since 1950."

As if that is not rich enough, but not quite as rich as our fake president proclaims himself to be, "The Koch party was held at the Flagler Museum, a 75-room mansion that was built by one of the founders of Standard Oil for his third wife at the turn of the last century. He was the business partner of John D. Rockefeller, who was as big a boogeyman among anti-monopolists in the 1890s as the Kochs are now on the left."

The Washington Post reports, "It was a week before the 2016 presidential election that the New York Times wrote this headline: 'Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia.'" Of course this was not entirely accurate we know now after the election. If we travel back in time to those heady days before the problem became real, The Washington Post recalls that before that New York Times story hit, "Slate ran a detailed story asking whether a server of the Trump Organization was communicating with Moscow's Alfa Bank." As The Washington Post notes, "More than a year later, we now know much more about the FBI's pre-election Russia-Trump activities, courtesy of the New York Times." As The Washington Post notes, on Saturday there was a report, "that Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, addled by the offerings of a London pub, told an Australian official in May 2016," that Russia had "emails that would embarrass" Hillary Clinton. "A couple of months later, hacked Democratic emails surfaced — prompting the Australians to tell U.S. officials what Papadopoulos had said," the report this passed weekend added. Now, a full thirteen months after the election that lead us on this treacherous path, The New York Times reports, "The combination of the hacking and Papadopoulos's disclosures, reported the New York Times, helped launch the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation." Bizarrely, The New York Times Deputy Managing Editor Matthew Purdy told The Washington Post, "the heart of that story … pretty much stands up." Dude, which part? The Washington Post treads carefully as it knows all too well the challenges of newsgathering, noting, "The point here is that that October 2016 story purported to draw relatively sweeping conclusions about inquiries that were carefully shrouded within the FBI itself. This could well be a case of a news organization not appreciating what it didn't — or couldn't — know." There is however the fact that much of their reporting has been embarrassing to a paper known as the standard bearer of excellent journalism in America. As The Washington Post notes, "Liz Spayd, who has since been relieved of her duties monitoring the newspaper from the inside, wrote in January 2017 that the New York Times was too timid in reporting what it knew about the goings-on." Now The Washington Post does her job instead – an achievement of outsourcing!

That rap song, by the way, is M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes," with its infamous line, "I got more records than the KGB". The Daily Express notes, "Twitter users have claimed the code could be a sign WikiLeaks is about to leak a fresh batch of files." There is even a picture of the Trumpenproletariat trolls gathered New Year's Eve at Trump DC excitedly tapping away like digital monkeys on their phones over the news. The Daily Express adds, "It comes after the US Navy' bizarrely tweeted 'Julian Assange' from its official profile on Christmas Day to complete the series of oddities. The navy's account later tried to clear up any confusion, writing: 'This morning, an inadvertent keystroke by an authorised user of the US Navy Office of Information's Digitial Media Engagement Team caused the trending term 'Julian Assange' to be tweeted from the Navy's official Twitter account (@USNavy).' The controversial figure's account, @JulianAssange, mysteriously disappeared between 12-1am on Christmas morning." The Daily Express reports, "Mr Assange's last tweet was on December 22, leaving no hint as to why the account may have been removed. People trying to access Assange's Twitter account were directed to an 'error message' page before it reappeared later in the day."

Surely this is not a picture of the Russian military the hundreds of thousands killed or who have fled in Syria would recognize, let alone the Russian soldiers themselves who are fighting there. Newsweek notes the video, "Faithful Friends congratulate you on the coming New Year," is military footage supposedly of "the adorable fluffy animals frolicking in the snow to the soothing sounds of elevator music." The propagandistic bullshit "was released on YouTube on January 1, comes shortly after a more serious New Year message from Russian President Vladimir Putin on the future of Russian troops in Syria."

The Washington Post reports, "During his first year in office, Trump has shattered the cautious and history-burdened way we used to discuss nuclear weapons." The Washington Post notes, "On Tuesday evening, the president further escalated his war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, asserting that his 'nuclear button' was 'much bigger & more powerful' than the North Korean leader's. He went on to threaten that the U.S. arsenal 'works.' Kim had previously taunted Trump in a New Year's Day speech, saying that his nuclear button was always on his desk." Yes, this is the hand size or the penis size debate but with nuclear weapons this time. As the former President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, notes on Twitter, "You can make your button as big as you want. Russia is bigger than any other country but minuscule as far as GDP per capita goes. It's not the size of your button but what you [sic] button can do." So since the button size is at one's discretion, it is only partially true that this is a dick-measuring contest. Furthermore if Trump were so well endowed comparing and contrasting with Kim Jong Un would not be a thing. The New Statesman gratefully elaborates further on the fact that, "there's more than a hint of phallic suggestion to the art of global devastation." Not mentioned in their piece is that the bikini was named for Bikini Atoll where the U.S. tested its nuclear arsenal in the Pacific first, at the time considered the sexiest thing on Earth.

Press release (ENG)
Cabinet in oak laminate
Get all the advantages you know from a laminate cabinet, but with the warm Scandinavian look you find in wood. As of February 2019, Cube Design has added a new cabinet color to the assortment. The new cabinet color is an oak laminate with impact-resistant ABS-edges for both V and Quadro storage. The oak laminate is a bright oak that won't change color over time. When choosing oak laminate for your V storage, you can choose any of Cube Designs Cube Color colors for the edges. The new oak laminate has the same price as normal laminate cabinets.
Canteen table in black powdercoated steel
Cube Design has a new canteen table. A canteen table with the same high quality you know from all of Cube Designs products. The canteen table is very stable because of the solid construction in the corners. The entire frame is made of 2 mm solid steel with a black powder coating. The table is available for four or six Vesper 1 chairs with chair suspension. The frame has been pulled all the way to the edge of the table top, which gives the table a simple and elegant design. The table top is made with straight ABS-edges when in high pressure laminate and with a wooden edge when veneer. The image is from Cube Designs stand, where you could see the canteen table with our brand new XP mat laminate in anthracite.
Roll front cabinet for V storage
A cabinet made with a mitre joint with an impact-resistant ABS-edge and sideways roll front. The interest for these cabinet has increased which is why we chose to design a roll front cabinet for our V storage series. The roll front is lacquered in white, light grey, medium grey, charcoal grey or black. Beside these five colors you can chose all of our veneer types. The cabinet has four regular rooms where all trays and push-drawers for depth 350 mm can be used. The roll front is sideways which gives you full acces to all rooms in the cabinet.
Centered cable tray for RAW bench
Use the centered cabletray for the wires from both tables. The centered cable tray is mounted under the desk screen and it is available in white, alu or black powder coated steel. The cable tray is made with two doors – one for each table. The doors can open as shown in the picture. When using the centered cable tray only one wire will be going to the floor. This will give your RAW bench a clean and tidy look.
Tiltable cable tray
Cube Design has designed a new tiltable cable tray. A cable tray where you can acces the tray by tilting it. The cable tray will automaticly go back to the starting point when you let go of the cable tray. But why is it smart that you can tilt the cable tray? It is smart because, in this way, it can hide the cables better when the cable tray is not tilted. The tiltable cable tray is available in white, alu or black for tables in lenght 1400 mm, 1600 mm and 1800 mm.

In 2013 alone, more than 1 million people in the US filed petitions for bankruptcy. The country's bankruptcy laws provide relief for people who are struggling to get out of their debt. If your borrowing has gotten out of control and you can no longer manage it well, then bankruptcy may be a good option for you.
There are various types of bankruptcies, depending on specific circumstances. Businesses can file for bankruptcy under Chapter 11, while individuals can file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. It is important that you make a proper assessment of your particular situation. This way, you can file for bankruptcy in West Valley City under the right chapter.
Here are some facts about bankruptcy and the filing process:
A Judge Will Decide Your Fate
You can file a bankruptcy case in a federal court. A judge makes a decision based on the merits of your specific case. The process of filing for bankruptcy is not as simple as some people may think. It involves more than just filing a document or two. The good news is that bankruptcy laws are almost the same in all states.
Not All Debts Are Discharged Under Chapter 7
Chapter 7 is the most common bankruptcy type for individuals. The process of filing for bankruptcy lasts for about six months. It will stay on your credit reports for as long as 10 years. It's important to note that Chapter 7 will not wipe out some debts, such as tax deficiencies and student loans.
Your Creditors Can Force You into Bankruptcy
If you have excessive debts, your creditors can file a petition in court to declare you bankrupt. If the judge decides in favor of your creditors, the court may put you under a mandated payment plan.
While bankruptcy may not wipe out all your debts, it offers a chance to restructure your debts. Your lawyer can walk you through the entire process.

We met at the Copeland Forest on Saturday morning and talked for a bit with Bob Bowles about the importance of Vernal Pools and you can learn more about them at the Ontario Vernal Pools Association website.
We also found some that had a flow to them so they were not true Vernal pools either.
What is a Vernal Pool?
By definitional "a Vernal Pool is a seasonal body of water that typically forms in the Spring from melting snow and other run-off. It dries out completely in the hotter months of summer. They are free from fish and provide important breeding habitats for many terrestrial or semi-aquatic species such as frogs, salamanders and turtles."
We still enjoyed ourselves and learned about so many other plants and animals. We saw a Green frog visiting the small pool above but he was too quick for a picture.
We found an interesting trail of holes which we learned were created by Voles as they typically skim closer to the surface when digging their tunnels. We later found mole mounds of dirt as well but I didn't take a picture. Moles tend to dig deeper and make larger mounds of dirt on the surface.
We also found a dead mole on the trail and Bob talked about some of the differences between moles and voles and how to tell them apart.
We saw the occasional pink Trillium...these white trilliums turn pinkish as they age,
A few red ones and even a yellow Trillium. We learned that the yellow variation are actually mutant genes within the red trillium and year after year that plant will always be a mutant colour.
Sierra really wanted to pick just one...but Trilliums are protected wild flowers and event though it looks like they are plentiful here; if everyone who visited picked just one then they would be depleted in no time as it takes 7 years for this plant to mature and bloom and picking the stem below the leaves kills the plant...she did not pick any.
Our next new wild flower we discovered was wild ginger. At first all you see is the green foliage but if you look closely and down low you can find the deep purplish/burgundy flowers that were in bloom on our walk. I didn't get a great close up of the flowers themselves.
These little Yellow Violets were such a bright little beauty but were very sporadic.
Another treasure we found were Jack-in-the-Pulpits
Leatherwood... it's branches were so flexible.
I am racking my brain trying to remember what these are but I can't...do you know?
Sierra asking about this fungus called Horseshoe Fungus and she learned that it got it's name from it's shape looking like horse hooves. She also learned that early settlers used it as in their fires to burn.
The fairy houses were plentiful too but we didn't manage to catch a glimpse of any.
Sierra found a little slug and he joined her on part of the walk in a little home she made him with a piece of bark and some leaves.
Sierra even found this tiny old chrysalis...I wonder what emerged from it?
Including this cute little Spring Peeper!
He would have looked adorable sitting in this Scarlet Cup Fungus I found.
I fell behind the group here as I stopped to take a couple pictures as I had no idea what it was. At first glance out of the corner of my eye I thought it was a fallen egg???
Apparently these Fungus usually grow in clusters near decomposing maple trees. If I knew that I would have searched a little longer for more under the leaves but I thought it was a one off and had no idea what it was. Bob knew though as soon as I showed him the picture. He is truly a walking encyclopaedia when it came to all things natural. He knew all the common names, scientific names, tidbits of info about every single plant and animal we saw. A wealth of knowledge and information. I certainly will keep my eye out for other walks and workshops with him as spending a couple of hours with him teaches you so much.
Our time came to an end though and we had to head back to the parking lot... a few hours passed but so much was learned. Even though we didn't find a vernal pool or salamanders it was still an amazing morning.
Sierra took a look through a couple of Bob's books seeing some of the salamanders that we had hoped to find. She enjoyed her day anyway too. I'm so happy she at least got to see a spring peeper, that was her high light of the morning.
One last share...I loved this group of ferns... no flowers on ferns, just lush, green, new growth...
Round as a ring without an end...so is my love for you my friends. May you all be enjoying this Spring as much as we are here.

HCM CITY (VNS)— The HCM City People's Committee has directed concerned municipal departments to survey the city's drainage network and come up with solutions to deal with record high tidal rises expected this November.
The National Centre for Hydro Meteorological Forecasting has cautioned that HCM City will be severely affected by climate change, forecasting a record high tidal rise of 1.62m in November, the highest in the last 50 years.
The departments should submit their proposed solutions to the committee next month, said Nguyen Huu Tin, Vice Chairman of the HCM City People's Committee.
He noted that despite recent infrastructure upgrades, the city has only been able to prevent floods in the central sewer, one among its six main drainage networks.
Urgent action
Urgent action was required because the frequent flooding of streets during heavy rains was not only affecting traffic flow, but the daily lives and health of citizens, he said.
With climate change impacts and overloading of the drainage network identified as main reasons for the flooding, concerned departments should conduct fresh evaluations to determine the sewer system's carrying capacity, garbage disposal issues and man-made structures that may obstruct water drainage, he said.
The city's drainage system was originally designed to deal with a maximum rise in tides of 1.32m, but climate change impacts have pushed this up to 1.58m during heavy downpours.
As of now, the city has 3,200km of sewers that are old and have low carrying capacity. It is estimated that an additional 2,500km of sewers will be needed for effective flood prevention.
Overpopulation is another issue. Originally designed for a city of 2.5 million, the drainage system now has to deal with a population of 10 million. — VNS

2018 is off and running, and it's a very exciting time for us here at Attitude Dance Company. Our new Ensemble have started rehearsals, we have a performance at a large event in Melbourne, and we've announced our latest dance theatre production.
Our new semi-professional/profit share dance ensemble have started rehearsing together, and they're already dancing beautifully as an ensemble. We'll be announcing the Ensemble members very soon, watch this space! They also have a production coming up later in 2018, so keep an eye out for that as well.
Our latest production (dis)connect is coming to the Shenton Performing Arts Centre in East Geelong this July. We can't wait to get started with our amazing cast and bring this beautiful show to you all.
(dis)connect explores and confronts our most basic need and common fear, connecting with each other, and asks the questions: Are we more or less connected now than ever before Should we let people in or leave a quiet place for ourselves? Why do we sometimes fight the human urge to reach out to one another? How do we navigate a world where we are more connected than ever, yet somehow we are left feeling increasingly isolated?
Last, but not least, we are going to be performing at RAW Melbourne's MAGNIFY on the 19th of April. It's a fantastic event with some of the best from all the art forms around Melbourne, including photographers, fashion designers, filmmakers, musicians, performing artists and more!
We'd love for you to come and support us, CLICK HERE to get your tickets to this event. You can save $5 by getting your tickets through this link instead of at the door.
It certainly is exciting times here at ADC, and we can't wait to share it all with you.

Old Lane buys 26% in Sical Logistics unit1 min read . Updated: 06 Sep 2007, 01:38 AM IST
Old Lane buys 26% in Sical Logistics unit
Old Lane buys 26% in Sical Logistics unit
Old Lane Mauritius IV Ltd, a vehicle of Old Lane Opportunities Funds, has invested $26 million (Rs107 crore) for a 26% stake in a new unit of Chennai-based logistics firm Sical Logistics Ltd.
Sical Infra Assets Ltd has been formed to park the company's asset-heavy, capital-intensive, longer gestation infrastructure-based business such as the logistics hub at Nagpur, the iron ore terminal at Ennore port, a container rail project, Sical Distriparks and the container terminals at Tuticorn and Chennai ports.
The Old Lane investment will be subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board.
The decision to segregate the short-cycle service oriented business from the longer duration build, operate and transfer type assets was to crystallize the value of investments made by Sical into its special purpose vehicles and then invite equity participation as was done in the case of the Old Lane investment.
Sical Logistics would in future look after only the bulk logistics business of the group as well as its services business such as stevedoring, ship chartering, shipping agency, trucking, warehousing and offshore logistics. Sical Logistics also plans to list its new subsidiary on the stock exchanges to raise funds to finance the company's growing infrastructure business, a company spokesperson said.
Sical Logistics is also in discussions with a some Indian and overseas freight forwarding firms for a possible acquisition with an investment of around Rs100 crore, the spokesperson added. Further details were not available.

Sitting alone I breathe in the briny atmosphere as it congeals into an aerosol breeze. The sun hovers high above illuminating with supernatural precision. My feet sink separating the individual digits of my toes. A heightened feeling of granular deposits spontaneously carry electrical concern throughout my nerve endings, firing synapses until it rouses the senses of my subconscious. A relevant force drives to collapse mind and matter, blending until curiosity is untapped and exploration unravels.
The wind blows invisibly wholesome, and yet visible with the most spectacular potency. It floats hazily while it caresses and kisses the ocean, breathing exhausting nothings to the atmosphere. A hydrophilic marriage as ocean responds with ferocious crackling, serene with complete voraciousness in its domain. Cresting and clashing with unequivocal force, its energy soothingly sculpts and makes a martyr of the land. The sand is heavy and dark, enduring as its punishing brother recedes only to rise again, bestowing infinite blow after blow. It sends a glittering code to the great sphere as it twinkles back light that was so generously given. It absorbs all organic life, warming each elemental abstract. Everything lives without ever confronting death. Time is forever in this time capsule, freely trickling into a cohesive autonomous mix. My mind melds with the thud of my heart as my body and senses melt. All flows within, and molds me back into existence. At peace I fall, devoured by a vortex that vacuums me into my surroundings. I am no more, I am forever, I am Patea.
