Genevieve Taggard's Introduction to May Days (1926)
May Days
I liked putting these poems together because the choosing of them took me over and over the old bound volumes, and in doing that I discovered a continuity--and a severance.
That is, I stepped back abruptly through the looking-glass into a literary and political world that seemed both familiar and strange--a preposterous world, but never for a moment an alien one. What I saw had the same fascination that the face of your father at the age of sixteen has, when you come upon it peering from an album, for the first time after years of pre-occupation with your own generation. Of course, only part of father's face is here. To put the whole portrait together I would have to get files of Others, Seven Arts, and the Little Review; find pictures of the first suffrage parades, and the speeches of social reformers reported in the New York Times; follow the editorial risings and sinkings of the Nation and the New Republic; and see by some act of the imagination, the expression on the faces of the crowds who went to the Armory Show in 1912 to watch the Nude descend the stairs.
A war and a revolution, and five or six famines have something to do with the severance I felt. Behind the human extremity of those slow war years we discover the preceding period in parade down Fifth Avenue;--white horses, purple banners, and a phalanx of well-shod middle-class women, demanding,--and getting, the ballot! Elsewhere, a little off the center, we find Frank Tanenbaum and Arturo Giovannitti stirring liberal opinion with the news that for a few in the commonwealth at least, this is not quite the best possible world. Behind them, the shadow of Upton Sinclair, who perhaps all by himself, hatched this germ of middle-class discontent during the muck-raking period just preceding when he jerked double the respectable consumer of Chicago slaughterhouse meat . . . acute stomach-ache hit a hypochondriac nation and an uneasy idea grew: Perhaps even for the middle-class this was not the best possible world--
"Factory windows are always broken.
Something or other is going wrong.
Something is rottenI think, in Denmark . . ."
That was the state of mind. Something was wrong. Probably in Denmark. Where else? Not terribly wrong. Just wrong enough to insure a holiday.
And the holiday had numerous events and several attractive features. There was zealous social work, backed by optimistic social theory; humanitarian crusades abounded, gracious amateur movements made a mushroom growth. This activity was never ruthless or bitter, but earnest, idealistic,--always Christian.
Our awakening was like us. There was not much reflection or arduous labor. Austerity and desperate struggle were absent. It was a happy, well-bred and lively society, although it desired to be much more. The air was clear and exciting and the hour was the hour of seven on a spring morning. May days, indeed. . . . Dignity was not the fashion. Boredom, ennui, were not the fashion. There was so much to be said, done, thought, seen, tried out. The youth of the land was getting out of doors and all winter taboos were being broken:
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive
But to be young was very heaven.
Later, after the first spurt of activity bad spent itself, the whole mood of the time flowered in Woodrow Wilson. He and his words ended one period and began another--began it with the vow of the despoiled youth to be anything in the wide world, but never again Woodrovian.
In him, as in his generation, ended the beautiful belief in the beautiful efficacy of--beautiful words. Even the gangling free verse movement had not shaken that faith. Our rightful President before he went to France, was vaguely idealistic, earnest as earnest goes, Christian (as that goes). He could be. The age hadn't come to grips with anything more serious than the problems of rancid meat. Even the I.W.W. and the extreme left wing of the revolutionary movement shared the verbosity and romanticism of the time. Everybody was playing. And the Masses editors were playing hardest of all.
It was easy to read the Masses in those days. I say easy after following all the indignant letters protesting against Carl Sandburg's "Billy Sunday," or Billy Williams' "Ballad", (G. B. S. was one of the Protestants that time) or Floyd Dell's articles on birth control. It was easy in spite of all the shock it gave the college-professor, college-student audience, because its shock was pleasurable for those who could stand it and centered chiefly on breaking down prudery and traditional dogma. It hit few class or economic sore spots--not because it did not aim at them, but because class fear in the reader had not been genuinely aroused. If he could skip the fine print of Max Eastmans monthly "Knowledge and Revolution", he could swallow the rest--usually. At any rate this early reader seldom began to fidget, fearing bloody upheaval,--seeeing himself, wife and baby flung out of security into a great flux. This magazine was so obviously the voice of a harmless minority. Although its editor pounded away at the distinction between reform and the seizure of economic power by the working class, he failed to keep them separate in the mind of the middle-class intellectual because events themselves had not yet made them separate.
Because this magazine of rebellion was edited in spite of its title, for the bourgeois liberal, to give him the freedom he had grown needy of, and because although it did talk in a very specific and realistic tone of voice about the proletariat, it did not talk to the proletariat, scoffers said, rightly enough:
They draw nude women for the MASSES
Thick, fat, ungainly lasses,--
How does that help the working classes?
When it came to it--really helping the working classes a little later--scoffers, along with the bulk of the other readers, found the magazine exceedingly hard to read. But by that time they were not confined to the Masses any longer. That early note of gleeful scorn for the Bourgeois and his lady, his ideas about sex, literature, art, politics, furniture, et cetera, has been the cue for nearly all the best sellers ever since. The 500,000 Americans who sat up nights with "Main Street" in 1920, and "So Big" in 1924, and Ring Lardner in 1925, would read the early Masses with chuckles of delight, if they could get them. Lewis, Lardner, and Ferber are not as hard nor as clear as their spasmodic original. The Saturday Evening Post method has helped dilute the murex for the billboards, while the too intense blue has been left for the serious artists. Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson, John Howard Lawson and Eugene O'Neil would have written, Masses or no Masses, but they would have had to spend more time under water grubbing along on the floor of the ocean if the dredging had not begun earlier. The little magazine revived by John Sloan's group for the publication of its drawings, and gradually altered into a news letter for the hungry idealist had as curious a range of contributors as of readers. Gelett Burgess, Inez Haynes Gillmore, William English Walling, Lincoln Steffens, Amy Lowell, Jimmie Hopper, Will Levington Comfort, Mary Heaton Vorse, Harry Kemp, Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Poole, Charles Edward Russell, Witter Bynner, Irwin Granich, William Rose Benét, J. E. Spingarn, Margaret Widdemer;--if this rabble made up its contributors, you ask, just what was the magazine as a whole trying to say? Nevertheless the family was congenial. Because its foe was so impervious and so vast it found more likenesses than differences within its ranks. The widest implications of even a revolutionary doctrine may throw a grateful shade in a great desert. Reginald Wright Kauffman and Pablo Picasso lay down together between the same editorial sheets.
All this you may observe--the grotesque bright green landscape--through the peephole of the old numbers. Having glimpsed this I changed my position to the landscape itself for a moment to see the Masses in its milieu.
It was born of a general upheaval still too close to us to be accurately described. In 1912 there were other live spots, since overrated however, I believe, by schismatic disciples. The Masses seems to have vanished from the gaze of the literary historian--underground it went, to cut channels in the bed rock, and left the Little Review, The Glebe, Seven Arts, Others, Soil, Camera Work and Miss Monroe's Poetry in full view above ground. But with the exception of Soil these magazines lacked even an acquaintance with the qualities that made the Masses dynamic; they lacked native humor, and realistic philosophy, had too much defensive aestheticism, and too little natural or racial intoxication. They were all fearfully immaculate and upper class. They were High Brow. They distrusted the country and the country distrusted them--rightly, I think, as the fungus growths that any nation or time can produce for a season out of the determination of a few editors. We have had several such growths in the past; such a group produced Stephen Crane and Harold Frederic during the 'nineties.
And Soil, the exception, is the example which proves the futility of a sociological pioneer who carries crooked maps and poor tools in his knapsack. Its editor under a layer of radical sounding talk, believed finally in the familiar salvations of more education, Henry George and Community singing.
The Masses, in spite of its readers, and the economic status of its editors, in spite of its editorial background, in spite of almost everything,--was revolutionary. It takes very few individuals to make a new age or explode an old one. That is, if the individuals themselves have hold old on a vital substance. For me, and I think for numbers of others, there were few people writing in America in 1913 with the desire for a realistic grasp of our life as a whole. Creative artists dare not bite off more than they can chew; accordingly the novelists of the day who were in love with America, were deliberately seeing the country as a confusion of parts, and choosing for themselves one part of the many. So far as I know there were only three people who saw then what we all see now--the identity of the land. At any rate only three registered themselves indelibly: Max Eastman, Jack Reed and Floyd Dell.
I may be doing them some personal injustice in classifying them as they appear to me now. There will be ample time later to discuss them as rich and fascinating single figures. In this preface I think of them as interplaying forces, not as they are now, but as they were then, They were more than three people when you put them in close contact: they drew to themselves a swarm of excellent artists and social satirists,--Max Eastman, realistic philosopher and poet; Floyd Dell, teacher and intimate psychologist; Jack Reed, man of action and human symbol for the time. This was a living combination and the ideas that grew from it had kinetic energy. They were more than these embodied abstractions, but being figures in a historical drama they must, having chosen to play the roles, take all the foreshortening and warping that go with the simple outlines of large events.
Seen thus, working together, they are for America the most significant. group that ever managed to dominate, for a time, an entire generation. They, and the Masses as their instrument, were of tremendous importance for every young middle or working-class person just then coming alive within their radius. Their recorded sense of contemporary life has been a store house to which the diverse and quarreling publicist world has gone for its energy--the liberal editors of the New York World, Vanity Fair's humorists, Amalgamated organizers and pamphleteers, the New Republic's decorous contributor, the Nation's earnest one, and the present proletarian intellectuals who conduct the Daily Worker, all have to some extent consciously or unconsciously reflected Masses-Liberator tutelage. Only one other man, I think, belongs with Max, Floyd, and Jack, in their curious role of father-teacher-hero to that generation of young Americans, and he, George Bernard Shaw, is an English-Irishman, sidestepping sex with windy apologies and wedded in politics to the Fabians. What was it they did? Well, to begin with, all three although they would deny it, gave up being single-minded artists. They had started, all as poets (which they might also consider unimportant), when something else caught them. They became obsessed by the unity of our life, the dance of it, and when they found themselves, after following the dance with abandon for a time, they were no longer poets--merely. In them was a fatal social-mindedness that made being artists a temptation which they put aside somewhat reluctantly, for pressing matters in hand.
Floyd Dell expresses the struggle best in his own words. His writing abounds with the phrase escape from reality--the 'escape' being preoccupation with a fantasy,--or as we put it, the writing of a great poem, a great novel, a great play. That was the temptation he and his companions resisted. They turned their backs on 'escape' in the Masses days.
And to what purpose? There was this America--its politics, love life, industry, humor, architecture, education, poetry, dancing, clothing, drama, sport, language . . .When the Masses group, cartoonists, artists, and editors touched these subjects it was their combination of sophistication and naďveté that made what they said so difficult to resist. These were in just the right proportions; proportions that allowed part of the soul to remain childlike while another part acquired worldly wisdom, and discovered its delicious heritage of homely sound sense. The native shrewdness, the drawling humor that is called American because Mark Twain and Mr. Dooley and Abraham Lincoln had it, was coming up through the outlet afforded by this magazine, under layers of surface solemnity. The Masses set up its little tent between the two most social minded tendencies then active in the American community--between the group that was liberal but Christian and the group that was rational but dull. It entertained them both with blithe impudence, being to some extent the child of both. The parents looked on as modern parents do, in awe of the little creature. Presently the child found its mission,--that of debunking the society into which it had been born. A point of view, known as Marxian, hitherto expressed in this land chiefly in undomesticated foreign gutturals, became, when simplified and translated into the idiom of Lincoln and Jefferson and Tom Paine, the new Yankee wisdom--shrewd, racy, materialistic.
And the awakening came none too soon. The world moved threateningly beneath everybody's feet. Big strikes, outrages; the Mooney case; the McNamara case,--a nest of textile strikes shoved it on. Much grist for the mill, and good honest grinding. The European war stretched across the Atlantic. Holiday time almost over. It wasn't all going to be a battle of ideas, no indeed. A long way to Tipperary, Chicago slaughter-houses, Isadora Duncan dancing, and the bright, eager faces of suffrage parades glittering down the great avenues, Fifth, Michigan, Commonwealth. The Masses had a movement on its hands--people following, going where it led. It had created that following and now it had to take it some place. And a fight coming--America came into the war.
The world, abandoning even liberal Christianity and rationalism, went off its head. The Masses folks saw the spectacle. They knew that something might be done--but what, exactly? They kept their balance if nothing else,--in a world that began to whirl faster than a merry-go-round. Until Wilson's second election their heads were clear and until their trial most of alert young America was going to school in the Masses office.
When the trial came the three men tugged in separate directions and the triangle cracked.
Mr. Glintenkamp had drawn two pictures, and an assistant editor had printed them while Max and Floyd were away, busy in the larger turmoil. The Liberty Bell in collapse made a frontispiece; another entitled, Conscription, a few pages over. The magazine for August was refused the mails. In October followed another picture by the same artist: a naked young man with a too beautiful young face, a skeleton measuring him. Hot stuff. But they had all been doing hot stuff for years--Art Young, Boardman Robinson, Clive Weed, Robert Minor, Maurice Becker, Cornelia Barns, John Sloan, George Bellows. Only suddenly it wasn't simply Hot Stuff. It was treason.
Or so it became apparent--slowly, in spite of a cordial letter from President Wilson, visits with George Creel, and the decision of one judge in their favor. The post office would have none of them at first, remained silent for a time, and then when the Masses went to court for the lost mailing privileges, turned swiftly and brought about the indictment.
The next spring, in April 1918, Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, Art Young, Merrill Rogers, and Josephine Bell were tried on the charge of "conspiracy to obstruct recruiting and enlistment," with Morris Hillquit and Dudley Field Malone to defend them.
In the interval between November 1917 and March 1918 there had been no magazine. The Masses was fading into the protective coloration of the Liberator.
The first jury disagreed. A new trial was ordered. A second jury disagreed. The editors had won-and lost.
Jack Reed got off the magazine, reorganized under a compromise with the war spirit; died in Russia, lies buried in the Kremlin with Lenin. Not gifted as a facile or complex thinker, but escaped the blind-alley of opportunism, and took the road to death and enduring glory. "Fog", his strange epitaph, printed in this anthology, assures him a no less permanent title as a poet.
Floyd, who had never advocated much more than parliamentary socialism, and who believed, as many bolsheviks do today, in conscription, was willing to go to jail but reluctant to go for an abstract principle he considered worthless. He stayed with the Liberator, to emerge at last as a popular novelist for the generation he had so long instructed.
Max determined to be a realist and keep the revolutionary home-fires burning. This is his reply to Jack's letter of resignation from the editorial board:
I haven't a word of protest--only a deep feeling of regret.
In your absence we all weighed the matter and decided it was our duty to the social revolution to keep this instrument we have created alive toward a time of great usefulness. You will help us with your writing and reporting, and that is all we ask.
Personally, I envy you the power to cast loose when not only a good deal of the dramatic beauty but also the glamour of the abstract moral principle is gone out of this venture, and it remains for us merely the most effective and therefore right thing to do.
Yours as ever
Max Eastman.
This is what perhaps nowadays we should call a rationalization.
His followers who agreed with him that a sincere radical does not run about the world courting martyrdom, still felt that, a revolutionary leader does not purchase immunity from jail by repudiating his revolutionary opinions.
Prosecuting Attorney: "Will you tell us if the sentiments therein expressed (concerning the Star Spangled Banner), which I have just read to you are your sentiments today?"
Defendant: "No, they are not, Mr. Barnes. My sentiments have changed a good deal. I think that when the boys begin to go over to Europe, and fight to the strains of that anthem, you feel very differently about it. You noticed that when it was played out there in the street the other day I did stand up . . . I felt very sad; I felt very solemn, very sorrowful, because I thought of those boys over there dying by the thousands . . . with courage, and even laughter on their lips, because they are dying for liberty . . ."
Whether or not this retreat was a tactical error, Max did do what he set out to do. He did go on with the Liberator, forcibly modified as it was, and preserved what he could of the badly shattered body of the new philosophy. Significantly, because of his old quality of intellectual courage, Max was a bolshevik when several of the present most prominent leaders were still anarchists, mensheviks, or industrialists.
In its last days when the Liberator could not decide whether it wanted to be either a propagandist or an artistic magazine, or both, it declined rapidly--all that had been brilliant turned wastefully violent; what had been masterful was either harassed or sentimental. The magazine, like a seismograph once again vividly recorded the tremors of the day, before any other group could quite tell what was happening . . . . In November 1924 the Liberator became incorporated with Soviet Russia Pictorial and the Labor Herald as the official organ of the Workers Party--rechristened the Workers Monthly. The futile magazine of the last years had a new birth as a revolutionary publication of the first rank.
But the Masses-Liberator spirit was gone--not so much dead as dispersed and divided. The magazine, until the war, was like a self-fertilizing tree. Social passion and creative beauty grew from the same branches. Now there has been pruning and grafting,--we have in consequence two trees--the air is sultry--there is no cross pollenizing. The artists who were attracted to the Masses for its art have gone one way; the revolutionists another. The two factions regard each other with hostility and suspicion. They consider themselves mutually exclusive and try their best to remain so. In the main the artists have become reactionaries or at best liberal camouflage for reaction. The revolutionists are impatient of all expression that fails to rubber-stamp the specific doctrines of the latest party creed. From one point of view the artists are loafers. From another, the revolutionists are-not artists! *
In such a disheartening world the Masses' robust interchange between the two kinds of temperament seems amazing and impossible. Bellows, Sterne, Sloane, Minor, Lankes, Young, Barber, Becker, Davis, Barnes, Robinson, numbers of others in the prolific years, did not lie awake nights fighting off the essential significance of the contemporary scene as material unfit for art. Barnes, the most native of the older group, runs from the first volume until the bitter end. Gropper was the paper's last great social satirist. In him and in those who came before him the best of the Masses' spirit bore its fruit. The poetry, from first to last, was never so whole, native, radical--and still so powerful, as this drawing. The poets tended either to a Tennysonian convention or to journalism. There are a few exceptions worth all the failures. If the Masses had continued another twenty years, this anthology might have preserved for English literature not four great poems, but forty.
But it ceased, and the buds on the two trees wither for lack of each other. It is the artist's fault because he is afraid of revolution. It is the propagandist's fault for giving the artist a job he cannot perform. And it is nobody's fault, as well, but simply the effect of a world change.
From now on, as long as this division holds, our art will have little fertility. Certainly it will be hard to put roots deep into a soil preempted by propagandists who insist that the artist bear only one kind of fruit. The artist's concern is not to persuade or educate, but to overpoweringly express. A good revolutionist should allow the artist this freedom, since he knows very well that only liberals seek to persuade, or to lure other half-hearted liberals into action.
The working class needs artists. It has no one to convince of its quality but itself. The exploited mass that owns neither the earth or its own toil or the fruits or implements of toil will sooner or later have all these.
Whether it will have its artists before or after these, we do not know. What they will be like we can only guess. But the beginnings of that art in poetry, will, I think, be found in the Masses-Liberator anthology, 1912-1924.
Genevieve Taggard.
A Note on the Poetry
Although much fine poetry was published in the Masses-Liberator, I have not tried to restrict this anthology to verse of conspicuous poetic merit. Much of the best is light verse. I have tried to preserve everything that gave the flavor of those days. Blank pages at the back of the book are provided for the reader who wishes to supplement this selection from his memory or his scrap-book.
I wish to think J. J. Lankes, the artist, for his generous contribution of advice, and the jacket wood-cut, together with other cuts first published in the Liberator; Dorothy Stoner, Lillian Symes and Ruth Gordon for assistance in typing and checking back the manuscript; Anne Owen for assistance in reading proof; T. R. Smith for relieving me of the arduous task of collecting publishers' permissions; Robert L. Wolf for the original suggestion that I undertake the book and for the title May Days, and the numerous poets herein represented for their courteous permission to include their work.
Whatever royalties come from the sale of this anthology above the bare expense of compiling it, the editor contributes to International Workers' Aid.
*cf. "Pletnev proves . . . that the products of proletarian poetry . . . are significant cultural and historical documents. But this does not at all mean that they are artistic documents. . . . Undoubtedly, the weak, the colorless, and even the illiterate poems may reflect the . . . growth . . . of a class, and may have an immeasurable significance as a symptom of culture. But weak poems do not make up proletarian poetry, because they do not make up poetry at all. . . . It would be monstrous to conclude that the technique of bourgeois art is not necessary to the workers. Yet there are many who fall into this error. 'Give us,' they say, 'something even pock-marked, but our own.' This is false and untrue. A pock-marked art is no art and is therefore not necessary to the working-masses, Those who believe in a 'pock-marked' art are imbued to a considerable extent with contempt for the masses." Leon Trotsky, "Literature and Revolution," pp, 202, 204.

Titanfall DLC Incoming, Game Modes to Be Free to All
A few scant details about Titanfall's upcoming downloadable content and new games modes have been offered by Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella.
Some intrepid Titanfall fans recently took to Twitter to ask Zampella about the details of Titanfall's upcoming DLC, as well as the game modes that are to be added to the game.
Zampella's reply to the somewhat rude tweet was met with praise, as was the news that the new modes will be free of charge. As Zampella said, these new modes will not be part of any DLC, most likely being implemented in an upcoming update.
And while DLC is coming, Zampella has not confirmed an official date for the first batch's release. He has, however, confirmed that it will cost $10. This will be the first of three DLC updates. If you purchase the Season Pass, you'll save money and get all three pieces of DLC for $25. Hopefully more details will be on the way soon.

Webster's defines estimate as: "A statement of the cost of work to be done." For those of us in the electrical world, what this really means is: "How much is it going to cost to do the electrical work for this project?" What the electrical work will sell for is another matter. That would be bidding, which is a whole different approach, and a topic for future discussion.
Types of estimates include conceptual, budgetary, design development, and unit price. The unit price estimate is the most accurate — and best suited for construction bidding. The unit price estimate is also a method of estimating. In the unit price estimate, you assign a price and a labor quantity to each item of material for a given set of installation conditions. These are called standard conditions, which form the benchmark for an estimate. For conditions outside the benchmark, such as increased height or restricted access, you must adjust labor accordingly. The unit price estimate, which requires a detailed set of plans and specifications with all of the design decisions made, can be broken into three parts: takeoff, extension, and summary. Let's take a look at the basics involved in each stage of the estimating process.
Takeoff. Takeoff is the science of quantifying the materials necessary to complete a job, as shown on the plans and as specified. At the heart of every good estimate is a good takeoff. The word "takeoff" comes from the action of "removing" the material from a set of plans, by marking with colored pencils or highlighters, until all of the materials are taken off. The takeoff is colored to identify various sections of the estimate, such as lighting, distribution, or feeders. Takeoff is finished when all the materials have been "taken off" the plan sheets, and listed on takeoff forms (or entered into the computer). The takeoff process also includes quantifying sheet notes and indistinct items, such as rigging or testing. Most electrical takeoffs consist of eight basic sections: lighting, distribution, devices, branch circuits, equipment circuits, feeder circuits, site work, and special systems. Although other sections on a project may include emergency generators, cable trays, or fiber-optic systems, the procedure stays the same.
All good estimators follow an orderly process and a consistent routine when completing the takeoff, which minimizes errors and omissions. Count the simplest or most common items first, the more complex ones next, and the sophisticated elements last. Following this sequence of takeoff can yield additional benefits as well. For example, by counting light fixtures first, you can get a complete "walk through" of the job — and in the process become familiar with the building construction, elevations, and room layouts. This will be very helpful as you progress through the other sections of the job. After counts, move on to length measurements, such as branch and equipment circuits. Because feeder circuits are the most expensive, routing can have a significant impact on total cost. Accordingly, feeders are typically saved until the end so that you can use maximum building data to figure the best route for takeoff. Lastly, move on to calculated measurements, such as site work excavation and concrete work.
As you prepare for the takeoff, you should understand the "standard conditions" for the work your team will be performing. Only when you're thoroughly familiar with the standard conditions can the labor and materials properly be adjusted for the actual job conditions. For example, let's say your company's standard installation conditions for a 1-foot by 4-foot fluorescent lighting strip fixture include a mounting height up to 15 feet. However, the project you're estimating indicates these fixtures must be mounted at a height of 25 feet. Therefore, you must adjust the labor unit for the increase in height (labor units are a decimal expression of manhours). See Fig. 1 for typical labor unit components.
Before you actually start the takeoff process, you must review the project specifications to determine the scope and quality of materials specified for the project. You should also make note of special job expenses required, such as permits or seismic calculations. And don't forget to review the specifications for scope of vendor quotes. Take summary notes of these three areas for easy reference and to avoid overloading your memory with a mound of technical information. Once you've completed this prep work, you're ready to perform the takeoff for the basic sections noted earlier, as follows:
Lighting (includes indoor fixtures, outdoor fixtures, and site lighting):
Takeoff procedure — Count light fixtures by type, according to the Lighting Fixture Schedule. Fixture takeoff assemblies should include lamps and mounting hardware.
Standard conditions — New construction; all fixtures UL listed and purchased by the electrical contractor; up to 15-foot mounting height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staging within 100 feet of the work area.
Distribution (includes switchboards, panelboards, transformers, MCCs, and related equipment):
Takeoff procedure — List switchboards by size (amperage), voltage, type, and number of sections. List panelboards by size (amperage), voltage, and type. List transformers by size (KVA), voltage (primary and secondary), enclosure rating, and type. List MCCs by size (amperage), voltage, type, and number of sections. Distribution takeoff should include all wire terminations, mounting hardware, and accessories. • Standard conditions — New construction; all equipment purchased by the electrical contractor; all switchboards and MCCs included with interwiring and control circuitry; up to 10-foot mounting height; use of rigging for lifting and hoisting; ground-level location with good access; material staging within 100 feet of the work area.
Devices (includes receptacles, switches, and related equipment):
Takeoff procedure — Count devices by size, type, rating, and location (indoor/outdoor). This includes boxes, plates or covers, and fastening hardware.
Standard conditions — New construction; less than 10-foot mounting height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staging within 100 feet of the work area.
Branch circuits (lighting and switching circuits, and receptacle power):
Takeoff procedure — List branch circuits by size and type, wire fill, and length. Branch circuits are most often tallied by length and count, such as 350/12. Total length equals 350 feet with 12 segments (a segment has a connection on each end). Branch-circuit takeoff should include supports and any required junction boxes.
Standard conditions — New construction; up to 15-foot mounting height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staging within 100 feet of work area.
Equipment circuits (HVAC, motors, and other utilization equipment):
Takeoff procedure — List equipment circuits by size and type, wire fill, and length. Equipment circuit takeoff should include fittings, pull boxes, flex whips, and supports. Additionally, equipment circuit takeoff should include any disconnects, motor starters, or control stations.
Standard conditions — New construction; equipment completely assembled with only a single point connection; up to 15-foot mounting height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staging within 100 feet of the work area.
Feeders (includes single line diagram and all distribution circuits):
Takeoff procedure — List feeder circuits by size and type, wire fill, and length. Feeder circuit takeoff should include field bends, fittings, pull boxes, and supports. Additionally, feeder takeoff should list any core drill, wall/floor penetrations, sleeves, or fire stopping.
Standard conditions — New construction; up to 15-foot mounting height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staging within 100 feet of the work area.
Site work (includes power and communications service, site distribution, and site lighting circuits):
Takeoff procedure — List circuits by size and type, wire or cable fill, and length. List excavation and backfill by trench section and length, and concrete by cubic yard. List transformer pads, manholes, and handholes by size and type. Site work takeoff should include concrete reinforcing as required, grounding, and utility-specific requirements, such as special raceways and risers.
Standard conditions — New construction; good soil/digging with no import or dewatering; precast concrete substructures; standard backhoe and compaction equipment; level location with good access; material staged within 100 feet of the work area.
Special systems (includes fire alarm, tele/data, and security):
Takeoff procedure — List control panels and special equipment by system, size, and function. Count special system devices by size, type, and function. List special system circuits by size and type, wire or cable fill, and length. Special systems takeoff should include panel terminations, device boxes, mounting and supporting hardware, and ancillary items shown on the system riser diagrams.
Standard conditions — New construction; complete system purchased/installed by electrical contractor; up to 15 feet in height; use of rolling staging (ground-level location with good access); material staged within 100 feet of jobsite.
Extension. Once the takeoff is finished and all the right quantities of all the right materials have been accounted for, you can move on to the extension phase of the estimate. Extension activities consist of:
Extending the assemblies to component items.
Extending the item material prices.
Extending the item labor units, as adjusted during the takeoff.
Calculating labor rates, crew makeup, and composite labor rate.
Carrying the extended totals to the summary.
Takeoff usually is done by assemblies, which must be extended to items for pricing and laboring. This can be done manually with pricing forms and an adding machine or by computer. The manual method is time consuming and prone to error, but is very basic. Using a computer will speed the process and yield greater accuracy. The benefits of a good software program cannot be overemphasized and will typically pay for itself many times over.
The same concept applies to extending item material prices and item labor units. Pricing forms for extending material and labor are easily obtainable. However, computer templates save time and help eliminate math errors. Obtain material prices from the purchasing department or from current supplier quotes. Base labor units on company historical data. Companies that do not maintain historical data and productivity rates are destined to lose jobs by submitting bids that are too high — or too low.
When calculating labor rates, include all applicable labor costs, such as fringe benefits, taxes, insurances, and expenses. Fringe benefits should include all required costs for health and welfare, pension, training, and vacation. Taxes include social security (FICA), federal and state unemployment tax (FUTA and SUTA), and any local taxes. Insurance costs include workman's compensation, general liability (labor portion), and builders' risk or umbrella insurance. Labor-driven expenses include small tools, trucks, and "other" expenses calculated as a direct function of labor.
Labor rates are calculated for each field classification such as foreman, journeyman, and apprentice (see Table). Determine the crew makeup from consulting with the superintendent and then spread out the total manhours over the project schedule (Fig. 2). Applying the crew makeup to the labor rates, you can compute the project composite rate.
Now it's time to carry these totals (materials, labor units, and composite rate) to the summary step.
Summary. As the extended totals are carried forward to the summary, it's now time for you to add job expenses. Man lift, boom lift, crane, and other equipment should be included, whether owned or rented. Other job expense items may include permits, office trailers, electric and phone service, dumpsters, seismic calculations, and engraving.
Finally, you'll need to add in supplier and subcontractor quotes. Make sure you review all vendor quotes for proper scope and compliance with the plans and specifications. Solicit multiple quotes to ensure you receive the best prices.
With these steps behind you, it's time to total all the job costs: materials, labor, expenses, suppliers, and subcontractors. This summary yields the prime cost of the job. Prime cost is the grand total of all the direct job costs. At this point, the process of estimating is complete. Management will determine the markup and set the bid price based on your estimate. If you've done your job well, then you've created a good estimate — with all the right amounts of all the right stuff. More importantly, you've presented management with an accurate picture of the expected cost to do the job.

text: As I go into my 12th year as a criminal defense lawyer, I have learned that the element of luck in a successful jury verdict is underestimated. I believe that any good trial lawyer will say it does not matter how much an attorney prepares or how strong the case is, if the attorney does not have luck on his or her side, or if the attorney has a hostile jury, the case can be lost. I am sure lawyers have countless stories. I am a great believer in the statement made by golf legend Gary Player, who said the more he practiced, the luckier he got. Thus, seemingly the more a defense attorney prepares for trial, the luckier and more likely it is that the attorney will secure a victory. Bad luck can lead to disastrous results, regardless of how much an attorney prepares. This compelling story occurred in Hillsborough County, Fla. It was my client's fifth DUI and he blew in excess of .20. The State wanted prison, but my client believed we could beat the case. I shared his belief to some degree b

The largest measles epidemic of recent times is about to descend upon Britain. Despite the fact that 93 per cent of pre-schoolers get jabbed with the triple measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) in the UK, the Health Department has laid aside £20m to invest in a vaccination campaign aimed at seven million children aged from 5 to 16. Even those who have had true measles (which offers lifelong immunity) or have already been immunized will nevertheless be given a just-in-case booster shot.
In our very first issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You we warned of the dangers of the then recently released MMR shot. This month we're revisiting the subject. Dr Viera Scheibner, an Australian principal research scientist who developed a true breathing monitor for babies at risk of cot death, saw that her product mostly sounded alarms after babies had been vaccinated. This prompted her to study thousands of medical papers on immunization. The medical evidence she has amassed conclusively demonstrates that the measle vaccine doesn't work.
In the US, with immunization rates as high as 98 per cent in some areas due to enforced vaccination, epidemics of measles still occur at three- to four year intervals.
Epidemiologists have a hard time explaining this recurrence, and most arguments over the measles vaccine failure have blamed low compliance (even when more than three-quarters of children are vaccinated); improper storage of vaccines; even vaccination at too early an age. What they ignored over some 30 years of use was the more plausible and obvious reason: the simple inability of any measles vaccine devised to date to prevent measles.
When the measles vaccine was being developed in the Sixties, its detractors argued that measles is a mild disease with rare serious complications and negligible fatality in normal children. About half the recorded deaths occur in persons with serious chronic disease or disability. It is also well-known that measles is an important developmental milestone in the life and maturing processes in children.
Nevertheless, by 1965, several vaccines had been introduced for the prevention of measles, including one killed virus vaccine and two versions of weakened live vaccines.
Atypical Measles
Soon after measles vaccine was first released, a new and serious problem arose: vaccinated children were contracting what became known in the medical literature as atypical measles, an especially vicious form of measles resisting treatment.
A 1965 study in Cincinnati described nine cases which occurred there two years earlier during an epidemic of measles (Am J Dis Child, 1965; 109: 232-7). The authors followed 386 children who had received three doses of killed measles virus vaccine in 1961. Of these 386, 125 had been exposed to measles and 54 had developed the disease. Many of these children were so ill with high fever and pneumonia that they had to be hospitalized.
Two years later, a study described the occurrence of atypical measles in 10 children who had received killed measles virus vaccine five to six years earlier. Nine children developed pneumonia which resisted all treatment (J Am Med Ass, 1967; 202: 1075-80).
Serious reactions also occurred in children originally injected with killed measles virus, and then re-vaccinated with live measles virus (N Engl J Med, 1967; 277 (5): 248-251).

A List Properties by Amir Rahnama
Real Estate Agent
Starting new team in order to increase business
Trying to attract a high end clientele
Appreciate honesty and straight forwardness
Enthusiastic approach to selling with a direct, experienced outlook on the business
Wants to be recognized as a brand within the market
Affluent communities
Direct customers that are fully interested in making a committment to buying/renting
Prospective agents that share the same core values that I portray
want to have it be more for residential real estate clients rather than commercial bukding if you decide to use a house no tall high rise buildings.
I want the logo to say A List Properties by Amir Rahnama. My vision has always been to have A List in big letters a hyphen - between the A-List.
, Properties written under in smaller font and then by Amir Rahnama (which is my name) going through it in maybe a cursive font.would like to see some that say a-list properties residential real estate by amir rahnama with the residential real estate after the properties. just another option would like to see both forms because it could be too much with the other stuff. I want the website to be sleek and modern so something colorful may not work. dont want too much going onas i dont want a young image or to attract younger clients. I don't want it to be cheesy at all. Sophistication should be the running theme. A possible graphic of a house would be another idea to consider in the logo, as I am a real estate agent and want people to know that by seeing the logo. All creative ideas are welcome as long as they go with the theme above. darker colors are better than all bright.

microwave food /pototage drying sterilization machine
The principle of microwave heating
Microwave is a sort of electromagnetic wave which frequency is 300MHz to 300GHz .The water molecule in medium materials is polar molecule,under the effect of the rapid change of electromagnetic field,its polarity orientation will alter with the changes of the external electric field with the high-speed,causing the movement and friction of molecule.so that the microwave field energy can be converted to heat energy in mudium to rise the temperature of materials.accomplishing heating ,puffing and a series of physical and chemical processes ,and so ,mircrowave heating is achieved.
The principle of microwave sterilizing
Mircowave sterilizing is the result of combined action of the thermal effect of eletromgnetic fields and the biological effect.Thermal effect of microwave on the bacteria denatures the protein of bacteria ,and make the bacteria lost the condition of nutrition,reproduction and survival so as to die .The biological effects of microwave on the bacteria is that the microwave electric field changes the potential distribution of cross-section of the bacterial cell membrane and impacts the concentration of electron and lon around the membrane ,and changes the permeability of cell membranes ,therefore the bacterium become innutrient and lost normal metabolism.The structure and function of bacterium fall into disorder ,and theirs growth are inhibited ,as a result they are dead.Moreover ,nucleic acid genetic(RNA) and deoxyribose acid (DNA),which decide the normal growth and stability of bacterial,are curly-shaped macromolecule made of a number of linked compactly hydrongen bond .The microwave can be strong enough to make hydrogen bond stack ,rupture and recombine ,and induce intragenic mutation or chromosome aberration and even rupure.
Detailed description
1. The equipment use advantaged production technology, adopt Panasonic magnetron. Long life, best effect;
2. Adopt stainless steel, compact structure, no energy dissipation, save energy
3. Tunnel type design, fast drying, cover small area
4. Drying and sterilization simultaneously, one equipment has mang usages.
Main application
The equipments are used for the rapid drying of powder, granular, pasty materials, such as glass fiber,raw chemical materials, cellulose (eg hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.), mannitol, nickel hydroxide, lithium cobalt oxide, graphite, carbon brushes, silicon carbide, calcium chloride dihydrate(Calcium chloride two hydrate), zirconium oxychloride, zirconium oxide, copper oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium hydroxide, zirconium carbonate, copper carbonate, manganese carbonate, zirconium sulfate,ammonium zirconium carbonate,zirconium silicate, zirconium potassium carbonate, oil-based ink, water-based ink, expandable graphite, a variety of ceramic zirconium oxide, iron oxide,cobalt oxalate,talcum powder etc.
The main drying feature:
1, the time is short and drying fast
Conventional thermal sterilization is through the heat conduction, convection and radiation way would transmit the heat from food surface to inside, to achieve the sterilization temperature, often take a long time. Microwave sterilization is microwave can and food and its bacteria such as microbial direct interaction, heating and non-thermal effect work together, to achieve rapid heating sterilization, the processing time is greatly shortened, disinfect the function of various materials in commonly 3 to 5 minutes.
2, low temperature drying keep traditional features
Microwave sterilization is through the special heat and athermal effect of sterilization, compared with conventional thermal sterilization, can be in a lower temperature and shorter time to obtain the needed disinfection sterilization effect. General sterilization temperature in 75-80 degrees Celsius, can achieve effect of microwave processing of food can keep more in addition of nutrients and flavor, such as colour, fragrance, taste and shape have swelling effect. Such as conventional thermal processing of vegetables keep vitamin C is 46% 50%, and the microwave treatment is 60% 90%; Conventional heating liver vitamin A stay at A rate of 58%, and the microwave heating is 84%.
3, to save energy
Conventional thermal sterilization often exists in the environment and equipment heat loss, and the microwave is in the food directly, so no additional heat loss. By comparison, generally can be energy-saving 30% to 30%.
4, even completely
Conventional thermal sterilization starts, material surface by heat conduction to the inside, however, there is temperature difference between inside and outside. In order to keep food flavor, shorten processing time. Is often not enough temperature within a food bactericidal effect and influence. Because the microwave penetration will have, in the food overall processing, surface and internal at the same time by role, disinfection sterilization evenly so thoroughly.
5, easy to control
microwave drying sterilization processing, equipment can out-of-the-box, no thermal inertia of conventional thermal sterilization, convenient operation and microwave power can be adjusted, speed adjustable from scratch, ease of operation.
6, the equipment is simple, the craft is advanced
Compared with conventional methods, microwave devices do not need to boiler, complicated pipeline system, coal and transport vehicles, with water, electrical basic conditions.
7, improve labor condition, save area
Equipment working environment, low noise, greatly improve the working conditions, a complete set of microwave equipment operation only 2-3 people.
microwave drying principle
Microwave is a sort of electromagnetic wave which frequency is 300MHz to
300GHz .The water molecule in medium materials is polar molecule,under the effect of the rapid change of electromagnetic field,its polarity orientation will alter with
the changes of the external electric field with the
high-speed,causing the movement and friction of molecule.
So that the microwave field energy can be converted to heat energy in medium to
rise the temperature of materials.accomplishing heating ,puffing and a series of
physical and chemical processes ,and so ,microwave drying is achieved.

The correct answer to this play is "A": It's interference by the batter, and the batter is declared out. Rule 6.06(c) covers this infraction as do Rules 7.08(b) and 7.09(L). We're happy to say that the majority of fans answered this correctly! Here are some of the correct responses we received:
The options were:A. The batter is out for interference.
I think the correct answer is A because of rule:
"7.09(L) He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball, or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, provided that if two or more fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the runner comes in contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not declare the runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such a ball; When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called."
But as everybody can see in the video, the batter-runner is not going to first base. He's just standing outside of the batter's box watching the ball. So he is not "protected" by the last part of 7.09(L).
So I would call, "That's Interference. Time! Batter's out!" And no runner shall advance on such a play!
-- P. Géronne, Germany
According to rule 6.06(c), Paul Konerko should be called out, as he interfered with the catcher's ability to catch an easy pop-up. The rule states: (c) A batter is out for illegal action when he interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base. Konerko clearly hindered the catcher's ability to make the play.
-- Matt Warner
In this situation, I would call Konerko out for interference, as described in Rule 7.09 (l). Konerko failed to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball. If Konerko was running to first base instead of standing on the plate, there probably would be no call if he bumped the catcher while vacating the batter's box. This is incidental contact as noted in Rule 7.09(L).
-- Azim Jessa

From the Himalayas to US Neuroscience labs, two filmmakers explore the effects of meditation and its potential for collective evolution
"Scientific discoveries are proving that meditation can be beneficial to individual and collective happiness, but what does this mean outside an Eastern Buddhist culture? In contemporary American life, the term "mindfulness" has become a buzzword across a huge range of disciplines, from psychology and medicine to education, social action, and prison reform. This film asks: What does mindfulness mean, how does it relate to human happiness, and what does it mean to practice mindfulness in today's society? "

Elizabeth Brooks Fuller (1896-1979), a Deerfield, Massachusetts-based painter and member of the town's famous Fuller family of artists, chose subjects for her paintings from her immediate surroundings. Here, she is depicting one of the most common sights of the Deerfield of her day, the spring planting of potatoes. Potatoes were one of the most widely planted of the town's crops. One of the town's farmers is driving the horse-drawn potato setter while another drops seed potatoes into a trench at six-inch intervals from a bag held between his legs. The wagon holds more seed potatoes stored from the previous season's crops.

RICHMOND, Va. – After a historic year, which included two All-Americans, in 2013, VCU track & field has its sights set on reaching new heights in 2014.
That journey to new heights now has a planned route as the Rams announced their entire 2014 indoor and outdoor schedule, which is highlighted by eight in-state meets.
"We are very excited about this year's schedule," VCU Head Coach Jon Riley said. "We've scheduled meets at certain venues and facilities with our indoor and outdoor A-10 Championships in mind."
The Black & Gold open their indoor slate on January 11 in Fairfax, Va., at the GMU Father Diamond Invitational, and continue in the state of Virginia at Hampton and Virginia Tech to round out the month.
Split-squad events will take place at Penn State and George Mason, followed by the New Balance Invitational and Vince Brown Invite to round out the indoor regular season.
The Black & Gold will compete in its second Atlantic 10 Indoor Championship on Feb. 22-23, hosted by the University of Rhode Island.
After the championships, the Rams will head to the Boston University Last Chance qualifier in preparation for ECAC/IC4A and NCAA Championships to round out the indoor season.
The outdoor season begins on March 22nd with a home event- the VCU Ram Invite- and continues the following weekend across town at the University of Richmond's Fred Hardy Invitational. The Ram Invite will take place at Sports Backers Stadium.
The outdoor season contains out of state events in Florida, Maryland, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, which will provide intriguing challenges for the student-athletes.
Head coach Jon Riley is optimistic about the impact the scheduling could have on the squad.
"With the various levels of experience on the team, this schedule will help prepare our veterans for high level competitions while introducing our newcomers to a competitive but not overwhelming Division I track and field environment. We are continuing to build a competitive program and the meets we have scheduled go along with our continued growth," Riley added.
The hunt for a conference title climaxes at the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Championships on May 3-4 in Amherst, Mass.
VCU will look to add to its recent postseason success beginning in mid-May with the ECAC/IC4A Championships and continuing through the NCAA Championship Rounds.

Election Year Q & A: Political Activity Do's and Don'ts
Are nonprofits allowed to participate in political activities? What about religious and other nonprofit leaders who feel compelled to speak up about economic and moral issues raised in election campaigns?
Since the mid-1950s, religious, educational, and charitable organizations have been prohibited from "directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office." Nonprofits are allowed to engage in a very limited amount of legislative lobbying, and their workers may express their own personal views. The election prohibition, however, is absolute. So how can responsible nonprofits act appropriately in compliance with applicable rules? The following questions and answers address these and related questions regarding prohibited political campaign activity.

IEMA, FEMA, SBA begin Tornado Damage Assessments
New damage assessments from the National Weather Service show that at least 15 tornadoes hit Illinois during Sunday's storms.
Vermilion County has been added to those counties already included in a disaster declaration. Assessments will be made in Gifford, Diamond, Coal City, and Washington.
IEMA is teaming up with FEMA, the U-S Small Business Administration, and local officials in the process of assessing the tornado damage.
Central parts of the state had the most with seven twisters, including one that hit Washington. It had 190 mph winds and was on the ground for 46 miles.
Four tornadoes swept through rural areas to the south and southwest of Chicago city. The closest was an EF-2 that dissipated about 35 miles from downtown Chicago near the village of Frankfort.
Three more tornadoes struck the St. Louis area and south-central Illinois, and one hit far southern Illinois, including the community of Brookport.
Weather Service meteorologist Ed Shimon says teams are out again Wednesday and could confirm a 16th tornado in Jasper County, where numerous people reported seeing a funnel cloud.
