Original Post
Today's topic is third order balancing, but I'm going to talk about it in the context of a game I'm working on called Genesis. Partly because that makes it easier to understand and partly because writing about the subject might help me find new solutions for that game. Let's get started!
Genesis is a game in which the players take the role of gods struggling over the world. Each player selects three domains to decide what sort of god they are - these are things that could finish the phrase "God of..." like war, death, love etc.
Each domain grants the player a champion, each one of which has three cards, giving everyone a hand of nine to begin the game. On their turn each player simultaneously chooses and plays a card. If they play a card for a champion they've already got in play the old one is discarded, otherwise it's added to their existing champions. All champions (including ones still present from previous turns) use their special ability. Finally the champion with the highest power is added to a winners pile.
Whoever has the most champions in the winners pile after someone runs out of cards (Usually nine turns) wins the game.
So far, so good - so what's the balancing problem?
Well obviously it's desirable to make sure that the domains have a roughly equal chance to win. If one offers champions that are simply better than the others then you may as well pack away the game after domains are chosen and announce the player with that domain the winner.
So the first order balancing problem is "How do I make sure each domain has roughly equal power?"
There are some fairly obvious answers here. Making sure that all champions in a domain have the same total power and then adjusting it up or down a smidge based on how useful their abilities are seems like the answer. The abilities follow a standard form of having two icons, one for who is targeted and one for what happens to them. A handful of standard abilities like "target all enemies" and "discard from play" occur across all domains, but each domain also has a unique icon that only appears to cards from that domain. That's what makes being a "God of disaster" feel like being a "God of *disaster*" rather than "The god wot gets a 3 5 and 8 rather than a 1 6 and 9".
Special abilities make things tricky because the context of the game then starts to matter. For instance the champion of beasts has a power 4 monster card that grants itself the pack leader icon which gives +1 power for each monster in play. So what power should I consider that card? Played in isolation its a 4 - but in theory there might be four players with three monsters out each so he could be a 16. I could work out the average number of beasts in play if everyone's playing randomly - but people won't play randomly.
You might anticipate that the player choosing the beast domain will choose two other domains that have a lot of monsters in so that they can power up thier own ability. Their opponent might decide to be a god of water. This gives them access to the powerful flood card and its "Destroy all monsters in play" ability.
So is the champion of beasts any good? Are they a decent 7 because their owner will synergise with three monsters, or are they weak because they signal a creature type giving the opponent information to exploit?
The second order balancing problem is "How do I make sure each domain has roughly equal power, accounting for the fact that players will choose other cards knowing it's in play?"
But wait, it gets worse! Suppose I have chosen to be the god of beasts and my opponent has decided to counter by being a god of water. I still want to play monsters to get my bonus, but have to account for the possibility that my opponent will play "kill all monsters". Can I do anything about that?
You bet I can! I could decide to be a god of weather and have beasts with the "Unaffected by abilities that cause instant kills" or I could be a god if disaster and have "Destroy and protect effects are reversed, all destroy powers protect and all protect powers destroy". My opponent has similar options, they could see that I've planned for their plan, but they can plan for my plan that I've planned for thier plan! Perhaps they'll take "God of fear" with its "Target does not get to use its ability" powers.
Which gives us a tough time of balancing - because in order to determine how powerful we think the beasts domain is we're now taking into account the existence of the fear domain. But, when it's time to edit the fear domain, we need to take into account the existence of the beasts domain.
Which gives us the third order problem that languidly brings us to the point of this post: "How do I make sure each domain has roughly equal power, accounting for the fact that players will choose other cards knowing its in play and then choose cards knowing *those* cards are in play?"
"Not easily"
Now the ultimate answer is, of course, the same as it always is: Lots of playtesting!
No matter what tricks we try to pull there's no substitute for watching the game played lots of times and seeing which domains tend to win and lose and making changes based on that.
But with the interconnectedness of all cards being what it is, there's a huge advantage to starting playtesting from a position that's closer to our goal state than one at random. So let's consider what we can do.
The obvious first step is to aim for the champions of each domain to have the same total power - since printed power ranges 1-9 then an average of 5 might seem appropriate. However we intend to reduce power totals later in line with how good the cards abilities are, so actually starting at an average of 6 or 7 seems like a smarter idea.
The next step is harder, which is to determine the average value of abilities and adjust the power of cards downwards accordingly. Here the goal is to make a determination of how much an ability is worth and remove the appropriate amount of power form some card in its domain.
Now a player can enhance an ability by playing cards it synergises with and their opponent can do the opposite. The active player has an advantage here since they know when they're going to play the second half of the combo, but their opponent might get their timing wrong. However the active player might not want to pair it with the best possible option to make it harder for their opponent to predict and counter. Here I make the following assumption "The value of an ability is worth approximately what it'll be worth when combo'd with the second best option in a situation that's halfway between a random situation and the optimal position to play that ability in." and go forward on that basis.
The third step is the hardest, how best to account for possible counterplay? Here I forget about balancing individual abilities and try to address the problem through a design philosophy. The philosophy is simply this: "Any tactic that is anticipated and properly countered will be utterly crushed."
The core of the game is selecting champions and using them at the right moment to maximise their effectiveness. Perfect timing should be rewarded and implementing this philosophy means every ability has the same value at the third order: It's always 0 because your opponent has always won. This simplifies the calculation substantially.
This calls for the game to contain cards which are very strong given the right predictions. "Kill all X" are highly effective, so long as every card has a class and every class has at least one kill all associated. Also cards of a form "Make a prediction about the card your opponent has chosen but not yet revealed, if you're right then kill it." Then things that counter or reverse particular abilities like "Your opponents card targets itself rather than its intended target" or "Kill powers now protect and protect powers now kill".
This is a process I've now been through with this game over nine times.
Each time I rewrite a great many cards trying to obtain a new balance that makes me happy - one that makes the domains equally likely to win, but also preserves their uniquess and makes the game more about skill than luck. A player needs enough information to make a prediction or the game falls apart - a perfect information zero randomness game can be a game of chance if players don't make meaningful decisions after all.
The iterations of playtesting are having an impact on how easily I can value abilities. At first "This is worth a +1 that is worth a +2" was pretty much guesswork - but as time goes on I'm more likely to change an ability in a way that is right first time. Or to anticipate how making a change in one place means that something that's worked just fine for the last three iterations now also needs to change, without needing to see an unenjoyable game to see it happen.
So the advice I wanted to offer was this:
1.It's good to have some sort of abstract (I hesitate to say necessarily mathematical) model to get your early game as close to a goal as possible before testing.
2. Don't abandon the model when you start testing. Instead refine it and keep using it, it'll make each iteration more productive.
3. You can nuke the third order balancing problem by making a certain order of prediction powerful against everything (Though this is only a start).
This game isn't perfect yet and my approach isn't perfect either, but that's where I'm at today. I'll let you know if it's any different tomorrow.
(Also no pictures this week because the server won't let me upload them. How do folks feel about that? Are the pictures adding much and nicely breaking up the text or did they just get in the way?)

To the Editor:
May I ask a question?
Do we teach our children by what we do in our life?
This weekend we watched, near Freeman Park, parents who disregarded the "no parking" signs all along Park Lane. Their children, in the car, were aware of what the parents were doing in ignoring the signs!
This concerns me! Will these innocent children grow up to think it is OK to ignore the law by what their parents do?
I heard a quote years ago and it goes like this: "Today these children are in our hands, but tomorrow we will be in their hands." May I ask, what kind of hands will we be in?
I would be interested in what your readers think about this.

About the Author
Daniel Pinkwater is the author of Mrs. Noodlekugel and many other books for children. Not all of his friends are human beings (the species to which Daniel Pinkwater belongs). He knows that friendship can be sweet and crunchy, even when the friend is quite different from oneself. Daniel Pinkwater lives in New York State.
Will Hillenbrand has written and illustrated dozens of books, including Don't Slam the Door! by Dori Chaconas, Baby Dragon by Amy Ehrlich, This Little Piggy by Jane Yolen, and Kiss the Cow! by Phyllis Root. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
About Me: Childhood, Family, Interests
I'm the youngest of four boys and I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. My mom, Alice, was a stay-at-home mom and my dad was a barber. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
My favorite sport is baseball. I played baseball in the side yard with my brothers hour after hour. We also played on the same organized team. I love all four seasons, but my favorite is winter. I always loved how an overnight snow shower could paint the whole landscape white, changing it like magic. Then I would make a big snowman. A block and a half away from my home was my second home: the public library. There I met many new friends and they told me their stories. So I kept coming back for more and more and more. I fell in love with art in books at the library. I have one son and his name is Ian. Ian is a geologist. I've known my wife almost my entire life. I think we both fell in love with books together and have been in love with books ever since.
My Journey to Become a Writer/Illustrator
My mom said I was born with a pencil in my hand because as soon as I could hold a pencil, I started to draw. I'm still drawing. I didn't have an art teacher until I was in public high school. Mr. Ertel taught me all about art. I wouldn't be an artist without his help. After high school, I went to the Art Academy of Cincinnati. There I made new friends, other artists like me. I continued my education at Ohio State University, where I met Dr. Ken Marantz. Ken was the person who connected me to the world of picture books and gave me the wings to fly into the stories. Dr. Marantz and I became lifelong friends. I am now the illustrator-in-residence and writer-in-residence at Kent State University.
About My Work: My Books and Artistic Process
Illustrating a book is its own journey, whether you are drawing little piggies who eat roast beef or piggies having none. There's always a lot of thinking and planning that goes into picture-making. I love illustrating books because it can take you forward or backward in time, even sideways. I get a chance to meet new characters. I also get to make friends with the authors of the books that I illustrate.
About My Work: Kids' Reactions to My Books
I think young people and I have the same ideas about how we love the picture world in a story. Books and stories lighten us up. They illuminate the page and lighten up our minds and grow our imaginations.
Three Things You Didn't Know about Me
1. You might not have known that I draw every day. Every day I draw because it makes me happy. Did you know that? You might have known that already.
2. My favorite fruit is blueberries. I think they might make me blue inside.
3. You may not have known that I have a learning disability. I'm dyslexic. Reading was difficult for me as a child and in a way it still is. But it didn't hold me back from my dreams. In fact, I think in a way it helped me.
What People are Saying About This
The simple story's design is nicely romanticized, with full-bleed, lightly sketched forest backgrounds spread out over long pages, with the placid action depicted in mixed-media browns and greens with gentle highlights. The book's Pooh-like charm protects it from preciousness and makes for a tender tale about the satisfaction to be found in a fond, contented relationship.

Average Review
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
My granddaughter (3 years old) absolutely loves this book. I believe it is the theme that Bear has a secret friend that surprises him with gifts, that she likes the most. She often quotes lines from this book throughout her daily chatter!!
When you first pick up Bear in Love you will fall totally in love with these delightful, loveable, gentle illustrations of bear as he ambles along through his day. Illustrator Will Hillenbrand has portrayed bear as a gentle giant and loveable critter for the young child to whom you will be reading this book. Most children have a stuffed teddy bear that they already love. So it is somewhat an understatement that they love bears already. Well, here is another that they will love. There are teddy bear stories abounding in libraries and book stores - example: Winnie the Pooh, that beloved Pooh-bear. So it is not a far stretch to say that the child in your life will fall in love with 'bear' in Bear in Love. Author Daniel Pinkwater understands children and what they like to hear and see in a story. So he has created a gentle bear who awakens to a gift from an unknown friend. A friend he wants to engage. A friend whom he, too, tries to befriend with a gift. Amble along with bear as he discovers his new friend. Enjoy the beautiful illustrations. Have the child to whom you are reading this book discover details in the art and in the story that enlighten and teach. Enjoy! DISCLOSURE: I was provided a complimentary copy of this delightful hardcover book by Candlewick Press for the purpose of rendering my honest, unsolicited review. I was under no obligation to speak positively of the book.

the Songs of Innocence and Experience questions the good and evil in the daily lives of human beings. This collection of poems includes The Tyger, a partnered poem in the series with The Lamb. Blake offers a new way of interpreting God through His creations in The Tyger. Blake demonstrates the fierceness of the tyger's creator throughout the poem. The tyger is viewed as a vicious creature that people view as a threat to their lives in many cases. A creature so evil to be created by a God depicted

The Lamb and The Tyger In the poems "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," William Blake uses symbolism, tone, and rhyme to advance the theme that God can create good and bad creatures.

In these contrasting poems he shows symbols of what he calls "the two contrary states of the human soul" (Shilstone 1). In "The Lamb," Blake uses the symbol of the

Your Mental Health Matters
One day, Alyssa Enneking realized she had to make a change.
She had not been OK for a while and was already facing a few tough situations, including some family problems. Then, in summer 2017, Enneking and her sister received a call from the hospital that their dad, Eric, had gone into surgery and it had not gone well. He spent four days in a coma, and after he recovered, Enneking headed back to Norman and her daily routine as a student-athlete on the University of Oklahoma volleyball team.
From then on, Enneking could tell that something was off. She just felt different. She wasn't laughing as much. She didn't want to be around people. During a practice, she experienced her turning point. For some reason, she felt "so unbearably unhappy" but was putting on a strong face anyway. At one point, she asked head coach Lindsey Gray-Walton a volleyball-related question and burst into tears upon the ordinary response.
"It had been not a very good week for me at all, which was kind of the theme of my life at the moment," Enneking shared. "It just always felt like I was having a bad day. There was just this huge storm like a thundercloud hanging over me at all times, which was not a feeling that I was used to."
After sharing with Erin Nelson, the volleyball athletic trainer, that she was struggling, Enneking scheduled an appointment with the Psychological Resources for OU Student-Athletes (PROS) office. There, she found the help she needed to start feeling like herself again.
Enneking's mental health matters, as does the mental health of not only her fellow student-athletes but of everyone. This message is the driving force behind the new OU Athletics "Your Mental Health Matters" campaign, which seeks to bring awareness to the importance of taking care of mental health and reducing the stigma associated with seeking mental health services for student-athletes.
Creating the Campaign
The NCAA has identified mental health as a top priority for student-athlete health and wellness, said Dolores Christensen, assistant director for PROS. At last summer's Big 12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) meeting, the league's leaders emphasized the importance of member institutions focusing on and supporting the mental health of their student-athletes.
This was an issue also on the radar of Nicole Mendes, an OU softball junior and president of the school's Student-Athlete Innovative Leaders, or SAIL. After hearing discussions about mental health issues at the Big 12 meeting the summer after her freshman year, Mendes wanted to make it a big initiative for SAIL on campus.
She had seen firsthand how student-athletes might not know what to do if a teammate was struggling or what to do if they needed help themselves. Having struggled with her own mental health too, Mendes recognized the importance of making the topic a focus.
Around the same time, Enneking, who graduated from OU in December 2018 with a marketing degree, was starting a similar campaign on her own. Once Enneking learned the initiatives Mendes was starting, she reached out and the two connected and began working together on the efforts. The pair then met with Carol Ludvigson, OU senior associate athletics director for student-athlete development, and the campaign grew from there.
"I think it's so cool how much people have backed up this idea and this project and have really embraced the idea of mental health and making it important; not just student-athletes but also coaches, faculty and staff."
- Nicole Mendes
"We had the same goal," Mendes recalled. "We wanted to make sure that we achieved the same thing, which is helping break the stigma, helping take action and really educating others � not just student-athletes but fans and other students as well � on mental health, what it means, why it's a big deal and not something to be ashamed to talk about."
Initiated by student-athletes, OU's "Your Mental Health Matters" campaign has three key components: awareness, education and community engagement and collaboration. These components can be seen through designated OU athletics events that are designed to promote mental health awareness, various videos in which student-athletes share their unique stories related to taking care of their mental health and collaboration with other Big 12 schools, Christensen said. Long term, there are plans to also add more outreach and intervention across campus and in the Norman community.
In spring 2018, the softball and baseball teams designated some of their contests as Mental Health Games with the student-athletes wearing green and encouraging their fans to do the same. This aspect expanded in the 2018-19 academic year, with both of those teams holding games again this spring and soccer, volleyball and track and field hosting ones as well. In the week leading up to these games, PROS staff members met with the teams to go over the importance of mental health, statistics and ways to identify and intervene when they as individuals or someone they care about could use more support.
"It's great to see where a small idea started and where it's at now," Mendes said. "I think it's so cool how much people have backed up this idea and this project and have really embraced the idea of mental health and making it important; not just student-athletes but also coaches, faculty and staff."
Prior to their awareness games, softball and baseball players shared how they take care of their mental health through clips on social media. Fellow Big 12 institutions have also participated in OU's campaign, with West Virginia wearing green as the Sooners' opponent during Mental Health Games for soccer and volleyball. Texas Tech baseball not only wore green against the Sooners during their series in early May, but the players also recorded clips about their mental health that were included with the OU players' stories.
�"We have a monthly conference call with the Big 12 providers where we're trying to collaborate and share best practices among the Big 12," Christensen said. "Yes, we're competing, and yes, we want to be the best, but there's also a sense of commonality that all of our student-athletes are under this pressure, so how can we as professionals and coaches and student-athletes model that we're all here for each other? It sounds really clich�, but it's also really true."
OU student-athletes have been at the forefront of raising awareness for mental health in the Big 12 and nationwide.
Setting the Standard
OU was the first athletics department in the country to hire a full-time, in-house provider in Dr. Nicki Moore, who led PROS when it was established in 2004. Since then, PROS has long been seen as the "gold standard" for addressing student-athlete mental health with one of the largest staffs in the nation. �
"Within the sport psychology community, other athletics departments say, 'We want to be as embedded as PROS is. We want a size of staff that PROS has. We want to be involved as PROS is,'" Christensen explained. "It makes sense that we would be a leader in mental health care of student-athletes, but then how does that look on a preventative level too? If we can get people to think about their mental health before a mental health crisis occurs, maybe that crisis doesn't happen."
The fact that OU has been on the forefront of the topic of mental health and has invested resources focused on this area demonstrates that OU Vice President and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione prioritizes student-athletes above all things, Christensen said. This commitment also shows that OU is proactive, added Cody Commander, director of PROS.
"We're not waiting for a tragedy before we take action to help student-athletes be able to lead healthier lives," Commander stated.
"Under SAIL's leadership, our student-athletes are once again demonstrating the power of their platforms to enact change and positively impact their peers."
- OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione
As college students, student-athletes face the typical challenges of that population, including depression, anxiety and homesickness. Additionally, they deal with unique struggles that come with being athletes, such as adjusting to the ups and downs of their sport, pressures to perform in competition and adjusting to living in the spotlight.
Thus, PROS offers a diversity of services to student-athletes, including individual counseling, couples counseling, sport performance psychology for individuals who want to have a stronger mental game in their sport, leadership and development, psychological testing for ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders and medication management. �
"It made me feel good that no matter what my problem was, whether it was coming from inside the sport or outside the sport, which in my case it was mostly just family and situational stress, it felt nice to know that we were being taken care of on all aspects of our mental health," said Enneking, who was an All-American during her time with the Sooners.
"To have this many people on staff for student-athletes is just incredible," Mendes echoed. "It's such a great resource. I know a bunch of my teammates and myself, we all like to go even if we're just talking to get something off our chest or just improving our game performance. It's such a huge benefit to have. It's really incredible."
Making an Impact
Castiglione said the OU Athletics Department has long been a leader and innovator when it comes to prioritizing the mental health and wellbeing of student-athletes, and that the "Your Mental Health Matters" initiative is the latest example of that proactivity.
"This campaign expands the conversation to intentional discussions within the department, with our teams and across our sport communities to encourage everyone to consider ways they can take care of their mental health," he explained. "We know that these conversations help to destigmatize reaching out for help and can make a big difference in someone's life. Under SAIL's leadership, our student-athletes are once again demonstrating the power of their platforms to enact change and positively impact their peers."
After meeting with some OU teams as part of the Mental Health Games, Christensen said she has received comments from student-athletes about how helpful the sessions were. She also recently had a student-athlete in her office who mentioned they wished they would have come in sooner but didn't think they could, and she believes that stories like Alyssa's will help spur other student-athletes to seek help earlier.
"It feels great, knowing that this issue that has been hiding in the dark for so long, that all it takes is for a couple of people to step up so that it's in the light and it's no longer something to be ashamed of," Enneking expressed. "It's something that a lot of people identity with and can understand."
Campaigns like "Your Mental Health Matters" can help lessen the stigma and create a door opening that some people may walk through later to seek help.
"We often see a jump in students seeking services after we do things like that," Commander said. "We also see a spike in people coming in after they know a peer who's come in as well. Part of this stigma is, 'I don't want to be the only one seeking services,' so when they know there's a peer like them, whether it's a teammate or another athlete that they look up to, they're more likely to come in as well because it normalizes it."
Enneking hopes her story and the "Your Mental Health Matters" campaign inspires people who are going through similar struggles to seek the help they not only need but also deserve."Feeling not OK is OK, but you deserve to feel OK," Enneking emphasized. "You deserve to feel better and to give yourself a chance to feel like you again."

CMS boys basketball team clinches title
Down 27-17 at the halfway point in its matchup with rival Steamboat Springs, the Craig Middle School boys basketball "A" team was in a precarious position.
The Bulldogs had earned 10 wins on the season and were 5-1 in their division, clinching the No. 1 seed heading into its season-ending home tournament.
Head coach David Grabowski was faced with the halftime task of motivating his team to play up to the level that had gotten them this far.
Whatever means he used, the Bulldogs responded.
Trailing by 10 points, CMS outscored the Sailors by 12 in the second half, coming from behind to defeat their rival 42-40. CMS moved on to face visiting Meeker in the championship game, cruising past the Cowboys, 42-29, to claim the title.
"I didn't really say anything inspirational," Grabowski said. "I just told them we had to get back to playing our style of game. We were getting away from our offense and our inside game."
The Bulldogs dumped the ball into the post, feeding its pair of six-footers, Adam Foster and Bobby Kyle, who dominated inside.
Foster finished with 21 points during the two games, and Kyle had 20 in the Bulldogs' two victories.
"It's a great feeling to come back and win the way we did," Foster said. "We exploited their weaknesses. We accomplished our mission."
Kyle was ecstatic his team came out on top.
"It really means a lot to us to be crowned champions," he said. "Our post game has been strong all year. Foster and me did well all day. It's hard to stop us when we are playing well."
Guard Braeden Sullivan made a critical play in the Steamboat contest, poking the ball away from the Sailors point guard with three seconds left on the clock and Steamboat trailing by one. The Sailors recovered but were called for a backcourt violation turning the ball and ending the game.
"I was just thinking I've got to get the ball away from him," Sullivan said. "I put the pressure on him, and it worked. It feels awesome to win it all. I love basketball, and we finished on top."
The Bulldogs finished the year with a 12-2 record and won its last 10 games in a row.
"We lost our two games early," Grabowski said. "Once we started working it to our big guys, the bounces started going our way."

Help! The toilet won't stop running. It's a bummer, sure, but it's something you don't need to call your plumber about. In fact, DIYers should take note that it's a quick fix that will cost you just $5. For instance, your handle might just be sticking, which can be solved by spraying some lubricant where the handle meets the porcelain. Ready to DIY? Here's how to fix a running toilet.
CON'T FROM COMMENTS EARLIER. However, the installation took less than 3/4/ hour and was a basic regulator with no other function. Looking up the price afterwards, invoice did not list type or price, it appears that it would have cost me around $60 for the regulator and another $15 or so for the additional supplies necessary to install it and it was really a rather simple job with easy access. Given that, it seems that $300 for less that an hours worth of on site work, company says it does not include commute time in its prices, is a little high. While flat rate quotes are nice, they must take into consideration situations where the work load differs depending on the circumstances. Therefore, unless you are at the upper end of the harder work needed than the average job. it can be argued that my estimated price of $300 for labor was more than a little high. Maybe I am wrong since I have not used their services for years and am not knowledgeable of the costs of equipment and professional labor today.

Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids.[1] Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications.[2] The word derives from the Latin for lead, plumbum, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes.[3]
Rooter Plumbing Company
Water systems of ancient times relied on gravity for the supply of water, using pipes or channels usually made of clay, lead, bamboo, wood, or stone. Hollowed wooden logs wrapped in steel banding were used for plumbing pipes, particularly water mains. Logs were used for water distribution in England close to 500 years ago. US cities began using hollowed logs in the late 1700s through the 1800s. Today, most plumbing supply pipe is made out of steel, copper, and plastic; most waste (also known as "soil")[21] out of steel, copper, plastic, and cast iron.[21]
Whether you're remodeling your bathroom or just updating old fixtures, replacing a toilet can be a big job if you've never done it before. If you aren't feeling confident about completing a toilet installation yourself, or if you uncover any bathroom plumbing problems during your remodel, Roto-Rooter plumbers are available to help you out. A licensed, experienced Roto-Rooter plumber can expedite replacing the toilet, address any other bathroom repairs, and ensure that the job is done right.
Spoke with the friendly person who answered the phone early this morning and she arranged for Chuck to come to the house today to handle a leak and install a vanity. Chuck arrived within the time frame we were given and quickly determined what needed to be done. He was courteous, professional, and very attentive to detail. He took time to explain the process and made sure the job was completed correctly and in a complete manner. He cleaned up the job site before he left and that was much appreciated. Chuck is an excellent reflection on the quality of service provided by Elek and we will continue to call Elek for our plumbing needs.read more
The scenario is similar when it comes to hiring an electrician. The Chandler is full of novice technicians who provide lousy services. You can never rely on such workmen to provide you with good work. They will always lag in some aspect or the other. Some technicians charge a fee that is too high. These are the workmen who rip-off the customer and do not care about him. Other technicians do not use genuine parts. This leads to the coming back of the issue within a few days. You have to strike the right balance.
Becoming a plumber is a two-pronged process that includes practical training and study. Traditionally, a hopeful plumber begins a four- or five-year apprenticeship program to receive technical education and complete the required hours of on-the-job training under a licensed professional. Plumbers who have successfully completed their apprenticeship are known as journeymen.

David and his associate were very professional and I must say very tolerant of my many questions, even when they didn't pertain to plumbing. I thought I would be getting an estimate when in fact I got quality service and a functional bathroom. The credit has to go to the technicians and my neighbor Jose who recommended Elek. Shop around if you need to, but for my hard earned I'd recommend Elek anytime.read more
As first time homeowners to a 1950s home, we began to experience issues with our water drains (lucky us). We had bubbles of water coming out of our toilets after literally two minutes of taking a shower... if we continued to shower, it would back up and our tub would flood up with dirty water! We tolerated this for a good two months and decided we really needed to get this fixed because the smell from the back up was becoming intolerable!
There's often an Allen wrench that comes with the garbage disposal. I keep it under the sink. When the thing jams, follow the directions in the manual, and I won't need to come out. Another plumbing tip, don't believe the myth about putting lemon peels in the disposal to make it smell better. That will just make it jam faster. These are the things you should never pour down the drain.
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty stop valve or floater switch. This is also called the floater valve or float cup. Essentially it's the large bulb in the back of the toilet that stops the flow of fresh water into the toilet once the tank is full. While jiggling the handle to stop a running toilet may fix the problem temporarily, you can fix it permanently by replacing the entire assembly. And don't be afraid to put your hands in the water. The water in the tank is clean!
This was our second time using Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Once again, the plumber arrived on time, was personable and respectful, and did a good job assessing and correcting the problem in each instance. I would definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin for all of your plumbing needs. I want to give a particular shout out to the plumber today, David Brown.

Study abroad checklist
If you are considering studying abroad, this study abroad checklist will help you understand what you need to do before you make the move.
Last updated 15 January 2019
There are many things to consider when studying abroad and they can put into two distinct groups - emotional and practical.
This study abroad checklist deals with the practical side of things – unfortunately we don't know you well enough to deal with your emotions. Please take a look below at the tips and advice we've collated for those starting your new academic chapter abroad.
First thing's first. Packing. Do you think some of your packed boxes may have exceeded the maximum weight allowance? Weigh your box on your bathroom scales and stand on the scales holding the box so that all you need to do is subtract your own weight from the total.
Always think about insurance if you're shipping treasured possessions across the globe. Peace of mind and all that.
Start packing immediately – like yesterday – because it's better to spread out the packing over a number of days rather than hastily packing everything on the last possible day.
Keep all documents and admin together in the same box such as academic certificates, job references, accommodation documents, NHS medical cards, etc. The same goes for electronic devices – keep them all together with their power cords, adaptors and memory sticks. That way, you'll find exactly what you're looking for when you reach the other end.
Try to leave bulky items at home, regardless of how meaningful they may be. Framed film posters, large musical instruments, big books, if these kinds of items can be left at home, leave them at home, otherwise the transportation fees might go through the roof.
Do as much research online as you can for student accommodation before you leave. Try and have something in place for your arrival. And if you can, try to recruit the help of local real estate companies and property experts to provide you with the details and advice you need.
Have you thought about money? When you get to your destination country, you'll need to set up a bank account so you can use ATM machines and the like. Have a look around and find the best deal for you – student offers/discounts, etc.
Once you've arrived in your destination country, take time out to explore. Travel the various roads and routes that surround your home and your campus and acquaint yourself with them. Also make a note of the local transport timetables before the semester starts because the last thing you want to be doing is standing on the corner of an unfamiliar street clutching your text books and wondering how you get to home from here.

Prosecutors from various provinces along the Yangtze River are set to improve coordination in filing public-interest lawsuits against perpetrators of environmental crimes.
Prosecutors gathered at a forum in Shanghai last week to discuss how to share information in cases that cross jurisdictions, as well as how to conduct joint operations and exchanges, solve problems in forensics and establish a fund for public-interest litigation.
Organized by the Supreme People"s Procuratorate, the two-day forum, which ended on Friday, included procurators and legislators from the Yangtze River Economic Belt. They discussed how to handle environmental crimes to ensure the healthy development of the economic belt.
Lawsuits have been initiated by local procuratorates against polluters in cases involving such things as the discharge of industrial wastewater, operation of quarries along the river, fishing and the dumping of toxic chemicals and solid waste.
The Yangtze River Economic Belt involves nine provinces and two municipalities upstream from Shanghai. It covers more than 2 million square kilometers and accounts for more than 40 percent of China"s population and GDP. The region has been hailed as a new growth engine for the country since it was elevated to a national strategy in 2014.
According to Qiu Xueqiang, deputy procurator-general, prosecutors" work regarding the economic belt should focus on how to protect the river"s ecology and its high-quality economic development.
"We should raise our punitive strength in litigation to create the deterrence needed to protect the Yangtze River," Qiu said at the forum, a follow-up to a symposium in Wuhan, Hubei province, in July.
From July to November, prosecutors along China"s longest river filed 15,363 administrative lawsuits against government agencies and 914 civil lawsuits against companies or individuals over environmental violations, according to information released at the forum.
However, cross-provincial litigations, especially public-interest ones on behalf of the general public, in which prosecutors sue offenders for causing environmental damage, are few because of administrative blocks and restrictions.
Zhao Wanping, vice-president of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that prosecutors should also pay attention to environmental restoration.
"Penalizing polluters is rather quick and easy, but restoring the damage is difficult and needs time," he said. "I hope prosecutors will also emphasize the enforcement of environmental restoration."
Xu Juehui, managing director of Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal Development Co, suggested that coordination in public-interest litigation be expanded across the legal system into the administrative system.
Conflicts of interest are involved across different governmental departments in cases of river transportation, which is one of the pollution sources, she said.
"If prosecutors have more interaction with the local governments, better results in environmental protection can be achieved."

Newly elected members of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur will push for local government elections as part of its first 100-day manifesto.
New MPs to push for an elected mayor
Saturday, 12 May 2018
by bavani m and shalini ravindran
The first local government elections in Kuala Lumpur took place in 1952.
IF ALL goes according to plan, the next mayor of Kuala Lumpur may be elected by the people.
The newly elected members of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur will push for local government elections as part of its first 100-day manifesto.
According to a legal expert, this can be done as early as the next Parliament sitting.
For 20 years, MPs from the Opposition, which is now the new Federal Government, collectively championed local government elections for a more transparent and accountable system of governance at Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
The first such elections in Kuala Lumpur was held on Feb 16, 1952, where 12 out of the 18 councillors in the then Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council were elected, with the remaining six appointed by the Sultan of Selangor.
It was suspended in 1965 during the Confrontation with Indonesia.
Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng said DAP MPs in Kuala Lumpur planned to push for local government elections as one of its first priorities.
"We need an elected mayor who is answerable to their electorate and will pay more attention to the needs of the people and not to those who appointed them.
"My plan is to use the next 100 days to think of the legal framework and system to revive it.
Lim (in red) during a walkabout at Jinjang Utara Market, Kuala Lumpur.
"Hopefully, it can then be implemented in the subsequent 100 days," he said after a walkabout in Jinjang Utara market.
In the meantime, he said DBKL would operate as usual, headed by Kuala Lumpur mayor Tan Sri Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz, whose tenure as mayor ends on July 8 next year.
Bukit Bintang MP Fung Kui Lun concurred with Lim, saying that local government elections was something they were looking at, but it was too soon to talk about it.
"Give us time to implement things one by one," he added.
Legal expert on local government issues, Derek Fernandez, said the reforms necessary for local government elections was to first change the policy and then to come up with a legal framework designed to accommodate that policy.
"The policy will need to move into the registry framework to amend it.
"Then, the Federal Territory Acts will need to be streamlined with the Local Government Acts whereby the decision-making powers are not centralised with the mayor," he said.
He explained that the Local Government Acts would need to be amended to remove the abolishment of this elections and reinstate it.
"This can easily be done if they pass an Act in Parliament. They can also pass an amendment to the Federal Capital Act to allow the appointment of the mayor which can be done in the next Parliament sitting.
"The problems and solutions are known, and with competent people assisting, it can be done fast," he added.
On who could contest in the local government elections, Fernandez said it would depend on the policy.
"What is the framework, do you want a ratepayer, voter or inhabitant?
"Technically, this can include politicians, but does he have the time and commitment?
"What happens if there is a conflict of interest between state and local government policies," he pointed out.
Fernandez said if the policy of the new Government was the democratisation of local governments like DBKL, having greater participation of local government would lead to higher quality decision making.
Amin Nordin said he was open to the idea.
"Why not? I have never experienced it (local government elections), so I would not know about it (of the benefits),'' he said.
When told that DBKL would only be accountable to the people of Kuala Lumpur and not a minister, which would mean less interference from politicians, the mayor said: "Very hard to say since we never had that experience, but maybe."
However, he added that nothing would change with DBKL's administration and he would carry on with the instructions from the new government.
Amin Nordin is the 11th mayor of Kuala Lumpur.

VirgoWed 26 June - 2019
For you, as a Virgo and an earth sign, facts are exactly that, facts. But with your ruler Mercury about to go retrograde and July's two eclipses shaking things up, even what seem unchanging arrangements could change, and overnight. Knowing that, assess situations on what you see, and nothing else.
Frustrating as the challenges you've faced seemed at the time, in retrospect you're recognising how much you learnt from each. Remember this when yet more seemingly simple matters suddenly become complicated. Many are prompting you to review once-prized arrangements, your focus being to substantially change, if not completely eliminate them. While this appears to be a loss now, you're clearing the way for far better options.
Whatever you're doing, you work hard to ensure things are the best they could be. This often leads to clashes with those who care less about quality. Currently, this won't just result in clashes, you may have to review, if not end, certain arrangements because of such issues. Don't argue, simply withdraw. This gives you time to consider alternatives, whether better plans or a completely unanticipated approach. Be patient. Impossible a things seem now, the coming weeks will bring astonishing new ideas or options.
Year to come
You're practical but if things don't happen fast enough, the impatient side of your nature can be amazingly impulsive. While, in early 2019, that fast action works, during the rest of the year's first half, you're urged to take it slowly. Note which activities and alliances are no longer rewarding, then seek remedies. If these work, great. If not, bide your time until mid-August, when Mars, the planet of courage, ego and action, moves into Virgo for a seven week stay. Add the Virgo New Moon, on 30 August, and you'll be benefiting from new ideas, offers and, possibly, encounters. These transform your circumstances and, equally, your ideas about what's possible. This new optimism means that once-distant dreams could soon become part of your life.

Green Gables Historic District
Green Gables
Period of Significance: 1950
Architects and Developers: Joseph Eichler, Steve Allen, Robert Anshen
Style: Mid-Century Modern
Features: single story, horizontal emphasis, floor-to-ceiling plate glass, post-and-beam/slab-on-grade construction, simple forms and detail, integration with nature
Contributing Resources: 45
Green Gables is one of Palo Alto's several mid-century subdivisions designed by Joseph Eichler and the smaller of the two listed on the National Register of Historic Places (the other is Greenmeadow). While it is listed on the National Register, it is not a designated district on Palo Alto's Inventory.
The area in which the Green Gables neighborhood developed was annexed by Palo Alto prior to World War II. The land was quickly developed after World War II by Joseph Eichler and all 46 of the contributing homes in the subdivision were built in 1950. Green Gables is significant as it is one of the most intact and earliest examples of a neighborhood of Eichler homes. Green Gables and other subdivisions designed by Eichler represent a crucial turn in both architectural style and homeownership. Eichler's innovative and modern designs, using mass-produced materials, made his homes affordable to working and middle-class families. Furthermore, Eichler homes were particularly significant for the period because they did not conform to the practice of racially restricted-housing covenants, which was standard practice for nearly all suburban subdivisions built at the time.
The innovative and new design of Eichler homes won them numerous architectural awards and are beloved to this day. Eichler homes possess clean and simple designs with a horizontal emphasis. Common exterior features include float glass in steel frames, closed front facades, exposed beams, wood paneling, flat roofs, single-story frames, and one-car garages or carports. Common interior features include an open floor plan, built-in appliances, concrete slab floors, and radiant heating systems. Eichler homes, such as the ones in Green Gables, were influential in the larger national suburban and modern movement and served as models for the rapidly changing architectural and societal norms of the postwar era.
