Illinois' cannabis bill is first to incorporate reparations
"The 11th state to defy federal marijuana prohibition ranks first in social equity ideas to actually address the War on Drugs," writes Alan Pyke for ThinkProgress. He adds:
"Low-income communities of color that have borne disproportionate shares of the social and fiscal costs of the War on Drugs will have a dramatic leg up in the race for dispensary and grow-shop licenses in Illinois ahead of the law's primary implementation date of January 1, 2020.
"Those same communities will be first in line for direct investment from the new tax revenues cannabis will generate for Illinois. A full 25 percent of that new money is required to be set aside for the new "Restore, Reinvest, and Renew Program," colloquially known as 'R3.'"
Here's the text of the Illinois legislation.

CRS Report: Definition of National Emergency under the National Emergencies Act
From the introduction to Definition of National Emergency under the National Emergencies Act (LSB10267, Mar. 1, 2019):
The National Emergencies Act (NEA) provides a framework for the President to declare a national emergency, but does not define what may constitute a national emergency. Accordingly, assuming that the plaintiffs have demonstrated standing to bring suit, a court may turn to statutory canons, such as the ordinary meaning doctrine, or to the legislative history of the NEA and related statutes to determine the meaning of national emergency for purposes of the NEA.

Green New Deal Resolution Status
NPR is reporting that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that he wants the Senate to vote on the pending Green New Deal resolution introduced in the House by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and in the Senate by Sen. Edward Markey on Feb. 7, 2019. See Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal, H.Res. 109 and S.Res. 59.
The companion resolutions call for the creation of a Green New Deal with the goals of
- achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions;
- establishing millions of high-wage jobs and ensuring economic security for all;
- investing in infrastructure and industry;
- securing clean air and water, climate and community resiliency, healthy food, access to nature, and a sustainable environment for all; and
- promoting justice and equality.
The resolution calls for accomplishment of these goals through a 10-year national mobilization effort. The resolution also enumerates the goals and projects of the mobilization effort, including
- building smart power grids (i.e., power grids that enable customers to reduce their power use during peak demand periods);
- upgrading all existing buildings and constructing new buildings to achieve maximum energy and water efficiency;
- removing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation and agricultural sectors;
- cleaning up existing hazardous waste and abandoned sites;
- ensuring businesspersons are free from unfair competition; and
- providing higher education, high-quality health care, and affordable, safe, and adequate housing to all.
The Senate vote is not yet scheduled.
Juvenile Law Center's 50-State Survey of Extended Foster Care
Prior to 2010, most states ended foster care services for youth at age 18. However, the Federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 allowed states to use federal funding to extend care up until age 21. More than 45 states extend foster care to serve youth who are over age 18. Here's the Juvenile Law Center's 50-state survey of extended foster care.

Congress Passes The FIRST STEP Act; President Expected to Sign It
The FIRST STEP Act is legislation to reform the federal prison system. The bill will make retroactive the reforms enacted by the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine sentences at the federal level. This could affect nearly 2,600 federal inmates, according to the Marshall Project.
The bill would take several steps to ease mandatory minimum sentences under federal law. It would expand the "safety valve" that judges can use to avoid handing down mandatory minimum sentences. It would ease a "three strikes" rule so people with three or more convictions, including for drug offenses, automatically get 25 years instead of life, among other changes. It would restrict the current practice of stacking gun charges against drug offenders to add possibly decades to prison sentences. All of these changes would lead to shorter prison sentences in the future.
The bill would increase "good time credits" that inmates can earn. Inmates who avoid a disciplinary record can currently get credits of up to 47 days per year incarcerated. The bill increases the cap to 54, allowing well-behaved inmates to cut their prison sentences by an additional week for each year they're incarcerated. The change applies retroactively, which could allow some prisoners — as many as 4,000, according to supporters — to qualify for release the day that the bill goes into effect.
The bill would allow inmates to get "earned time credits" by participating in more vocational and rehabilitative programs. Those credits would allow them to be released early to halfway houses or home confinement. Not only could this mitigate prison overcrowding, but the hope is that the education programs will reduce the likelihood that an inmate will commit another crime once released and, as a result, reduce both crime and incarceration in the long term. (There's research showing that education programs do reduce recidivism.)
Trump Announces Support for the FIRST STEP Act
The Washington Post is reporting that "President Trump threw his support Wednesday behind legislation that would loosen some mandatory minimum sentencing laws — a measure backed by powerful Senate Republicans and Democrats, but which could run into opposition from some tough-on-crime conservatives." The New York Times opines "And now that Mr. Sessions is gone, a bipartisan collection of senators is pushing a plan that addresses some of the core shortcomings of an earlier House version of the legislation that was supported by the White House. The hope is to move the bill during the lame duck session, before the chaos of the new Congress, with its newly Democratic House majority, takes hold in January."
CRS Report: Robbery, Extortion, and Bribery in One Place: A Legal Overview of the Hobbs Act
From the summary of Robbery, Extortion, and Bribery in One Place: A Legal Overview of the Hobbs Act (R45395, Nov. 6, 2018): "The Hobbs Act proscribes obstructing commerce by means of robbery or extortion or attempting or conspiring to do so. The Act applies to individuals and legal entities alike. It permits prosecutions, although the impact on commerce may be minimal. It condemns the robbery -— knowingly taking the property of another by force or threat -— of drug dealers, mom-and-pop markets, and multinational corporations."
The E-Government Act of 2002 and District Court Opinions that Remain Hidden
Here's the abstract for Peter Martin, District Court Opinions that Remain Hidden Despite a Longstanding Congressional Mandate of Transparency – The Result of Judicial Autonomy and Systemic Indifference (2018):
The E-Government Act of 2002 directed the federal courts to provide access to all their written opinions, in text-searchable format, via a website. Ten years later the Judicial Conference of the United States approved national implementation of a comprehensive database of those opinions through a joint venture between the courts and the Government Publishing Office (GPO). Despite the promise implicit in these initiatives, public access to many thousands of federal district court decisions each year remains blocked. They are effectively hidden. Many court websites lack a clear link to opinions, only a bare majority of district courts transmit decisions to the GPO, and far too many courts and judges fail to take the steps necessary for opinion distribution beyond the parties.
Using the large volume of district court Social Security litigation to measure and illustrate these failures, the article examines their dimensions, consequences, and causes. It concludes that the problem is a large one, that it poses a major challenge to those carrying out empirical studies and judicial analytics, and that the courts' radical decentralization combined with judicial autonomy will continue to frustrate goals of public access unless serious measures are taken at the national level. Finally, it argues that inclusion in the GPO database of federal judicial opinions should cease being optional.

Voting Laws: Brennan Center for Justice's 2018 50-state Survey of State Legislation
From the press release:
In the first analysis of its kind in 2018, the Brennan Center's Voting Laws Roundup shows that lawmakers in eight states have introduced at least 16 bills making it harder to vote, and 35 restrictive bills in 14 states have carried over from previous legislative sessions. If passed, the laws would increase restrictions on voter registration and limit early and absentee voting opportunities, among other changes.
Legislatures in 22 states are considering a combined total of at least 144 bills that would expand access to voting, and in 23 states and the District of Columbia lawmakers are considering 263 bills that carried over from the previous session. This includes legislation to automate the voter registration process, a reform with bipartisan backing that increases voter turnout, along with accuracy and security of voter rolls. There are also bills to expand opportunities to register, restore voting rights to people with past criminal convictions, reduce the burden of existing voter ID laws, and more.
Music Modernization Act only two steps away from becoming law
The Verge is reporting that the US Senate has approved the Music Modernization Act of 2018, S.2334, with unanimous consent, bringing the first reform for music licensing in 20 years on the cusp of becoming law. The companion version in the House previously passed in April, also with unanimous consent. The bill now must be reconsidered by the House and then ultimately signed by President Trump. Both of those are likely to happen, so the Senate was the last major hurdle. The bill creates a streamlined process for online services to license music and federalizes the patchwork of state laws governing music recorded before 1972. That will mean effectively shortening the term of protection of older music published between 1923 and 1954—under current law, these songs may not fall into the public domain until 2067.
According to The Verge, "the bill revamps Section 115 of the U.S. Copyright Act, combining three major pieces of legislation:
- The Music Modernization Act, which streamlines the music licensing process to make it easier for rights holders to get paid when their music is streamed online.
- The CLASSICS Act (Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service, & Important Contributions to Society Act) for pre-1972 recordings.
- The AMP Act (or Allocation for Music Producers Act), which improves royalty payouts for producers and engineers from SoundExchange when their recordings are used on satellite and online radio. Notably, this is the first time producers have ever been mentioned in copyright law."

However exotic it looks, not everyone can afford a decked up yacht party somewhere in the middle of Thailand or Bali. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun at home! The best thing about bachelorette parties are there are no rules involved – so you can have it your way. But wait, what about meeting your beloved bride's expectations? Sounds overwhelming? Don't worry, we can help you host a gorgeous bachelorette party that'll make your BFF brag about for years to come.
Want to know what kind of bachelorette party vibe your bride wants? Please don't guess (unless of course, you want to surprise the bride) but an honest suggestion here – it's always better to just approach the bride and be upfront about what's on her must-have and off-limits list. This will help you understand what she really wants and what all is achievable.
Once that's done, pick a date that suits all your guests, make an invite, decide on catering, drinks, props…the list is literally unending (but as we know being the Maid of Honour is never easy). The trick here is to transform a regular house into something pretty exciting! Which leads to the most difficult part of this party planning – picking a theme.
We've got some amazing themes you can explore while organising your bachelorette party!
'Vegas at Home' – for the wild ones
What if your bride wants to hire dancers? Although it's very much possible that you despise her idea to the core, we have to still remember that it's her night after all! Now that you know your bride is all about being 'young, wild and free' you also know where to begin.
Arrange some Mimosas to kick start your party and then gradually move to Gin and Vodka Slurpees (bringing Vegas to home). Boozy dancing to some upbeat songs will make your bride truly happy if she really is a wild one!
In terms of decorating the place, hang blingy lights on the walls and set up a bar next to the pool. With these parties, having a dress code isn't a good idea. Let people wear their flair and be more themselves!
'Exotic Retreat' – for spa lovers
If your girls are spa lovers, then let your bachelorette party be all about self-pampering. Let people sit, gossip, sip some tea and enjoy manicures and pedicures at home! Maybe include some facials, shoulder massages and hair spas in your spa at home schedule. After all, the Exotic Retreat theme is all about bringing luxury to home.
How about greeting your guests with coconut water and a Hen's party sash? While everyone else is wearing this sash, your bride can wear a glamorous bridal veil to stand out from the lot. After an amazing spa experience, you can open the bottle of champagne and cut the cake – voila, you've got your picture-perfect party!
Chick Flick' – for movie buffs and social butterflies
Some brides love to end the night by watching Sex and the City or Charlie's Angels, obviously because they're movie buffs. The best part about a movie frenzy bride is you can make their bachelorette party all about movies.
Be all chicky and arrange a pyjama party for your bride's squad. Here you can go all girly and pinky with matching pyjamas, silver tiaras, light pink balloons and everything you can possibly think of in a Barbie world. Although wearing matching tees that say 'Team Bride' is a cliche', for Insta-addicted girls this is the right choice.
Also think about working in some clever decorations, gifts and prop ideas that go with the Chick Flick theme. Go ahead and dress up like a doll, eat lots of choccies, marshmallows and cupcakes, as being all mushy is a must for your theme.
'Spin the Night' – for game night enthusiasts
Thinking of a treasure hunt as one of the games for your bachelorette party? You're in the right direction. Packets of Doritos, some tequila shots and lots of games is not a bad idea for brides who love to play. The best part of this theme is no one will have to bust their bank accounts trying to make their BFF happy. It's the easiest theme you can pick!
For game nights, the rule of thumb is to not pay much attention to decorations, but rather come up with interesting game ideas that your pals would love to play all night long. Try to think of a unique game idea that goes beyond the Groom Quiz or Truth or Dare.
'Hawaiian' – for beach lovers
What do you think of lots of pina colada and heaps of fruit platters? Sounds tropical? Let your party be all breezy with this amazing Hawaiian theme. Get Hula skirts, coconuts, palm trees, flamingo decorations and all tropical, exotic, bright colours to feel the famous Hawaii vibe.
Even though this theme sounds enticing, there's one limitation to it – Hawaiian theme parties can be thrown only in summers. Sad but true! So if your party plans are for the summer then this theme is surely a yes-yes.
With Hen's parties, going over the top with decorations is completely rational (sparing the game night theme). You can go for either ladylike decor or a vintage setting depending on your bride's choice. You can even mix and match themes! Although, keep in mind the secret behind good decoration for Hen's parties is to put up things that connect to the personality of the bride. Let her flair inspire her party decor!
We hope this handy bride's guide will help you host a gorgeous Hen's party for your best friend and soon-to-be bride. Now since all your worries are gone, have a couple of drinks, chill, relax and rejuvenate before you actually have to 'Paint the day Pink"!

A couple of interesting developments have surfaced in the past 24 hours with regards to the current awards race. While you may be saying, "Adam, it's September, the awards race is still months away," I'd counter by pointing out that the fall film festivals traditionally signal the start of the very long Oscar season—by this time last year, critics were already buzzing after the debuts of 12 Years a Slave and Gravity on the festival circuit. I provided live Oscar Beat updates from TIFF just last week, but now we've got a couple of news-y bits of awards content to attend to. Firstly, IFC Films has opted to submit Patricia Arquette in the Best Supporting Actress category for Boyhood instead of Best Actress, greatly increasing her chances of winning.
And secondly, A24 Films has officially set director J.C. Chandor's highly anticipated All Is Lost follow-up A Most Violent Year for limited release on December 31st, crashing the awards race with an Oscar-qualifying run. Much more after the jump.
While Richard Linklater's groundbreaking Boyhood is most certainly a serious contender in a number of categories (as well as an early favorite for Best Picture), the film's acting chances have been a bit of a question mark. Next to newcomer Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette has the biggest and most dynamic arc in the film, but there was concern over which category she may fall into. She could have easily been slotted into either Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress, but IFC Films has now formally decided to submit Arquette's performance for consideration in the Best Supporting Actress category.
This is a very smart move on IFC's part, especially since Arquette may have suffered from a lack of screen time in contrast to the other Best Actress candidates. Moreover, the Best Supporting Actress category is regularly a thin field thanks to the fact that Hollywood writes so few solid supporting roles for women, so Arquette has a genuine shot at winning the trophy.
At this early stage, the other major contenders I see vying for Best Supporting Actress consideration are Keira Knightley for The Imitation Game, possibly Laura Dern for Wild, and then a few other question marks for films that have yet to be seen. Jessica Chastain is a possibility for Interstellar depending on the size of that role, Katherine Waterston is another possibility for Paul Thomas Anderson's enigmatic Inherent Vice, and there's also Emma Stone in Birdman, Carmen Ejogo in Selma, and maybe even Emily Blunt or Meryl Streep for Into the Woods (though Streep may go Lead for that Disney musical). Again, it's a fairly thin field, but Arquette is undoubtedly the early frontrunner at the moment.
Another piece of exciting Oscar news is the slight surprise that A24 Films will be releasing A Most Violent Year in New York and Los Angeles on December 31st. There had been much speculation over whether the film would be a 2014 or 2015 release, especially after it skipped all the festivals, but the release date announcement and unveiling of the fantastic teaser trailer have launched the pic into the awards race.
Though Chandor didn't end up getting a ton of Oscar love for last year's critical darling All Is Lost, his new film A Most Violent Year features a meaty, period-set premise and dual lead performances from two of the best in the business: Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. The story takes place in the record-breakingly violent 1981, and revolves around an American immigrant and his wife trying to expand their business in New York. There are shades of a sweeping crime drama to be found in the trailer, and the performances from Isaac and Chastain look to be fantastic.
You have to go back to 2004 to find a film released after November that won Best Picture so the statistics are working against A Most Violent Year, but if the dark drama strikes a chord with critics and Academy members, I could see it picking up some serious nominations. There's a lot still unknown about the pic thus far, but it's certainly one to keep an eye on as the race moves forward. Until next time, folks.

Hi I'm Rebecca, mum to two lovely girls. After I had my second daughter, and after lots of false starts getting back to fitness, I found that I had a diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Even though I was working in the fitness industry, I found that the advice available about safe, and effective postnatal exercise was lacking.
I had to educate myself about the optimal exercises to do after having a baby. And now that I have that knowledge, particularly since qualifying as a Holistic Core Restore® Coach, I want to share this knowledge with other women who are struggling to strengthen their core and pelvic floor. I also want to help women who are dealing with prolapse or are trying to cope with hormonal changes associated with peri/menopause.
After having a baby, one of the biggest myths is that post your six week doctor's check you can go back to the exercise you did before, like running, circuits, crunches and planks. However, your alignment and posture inevitably changes during pregnancy. For example, the baby weight pulls your spine forwards and tips your pelvis. Exercising on a misaligned skeleton will only exacerbate any issues.
In addition, intense exercise on an already weakened pelvic floor isn't a great idea. It will most likely put extra strain on the area and could increase pelvic floor dysfunction like incontinence or prolapse.
This is where the Holistic Core Restore® Every Woman Programme works so well. It shows you how to re-connect with, and restore, long-forgotten muscles, how to re-align your posture to train your core and pelvic floor muscles to work optimally and at full strength and flexibility, and how to make your stomach muscles lie flat. It doesn't matter how long ago you had your last baby. For example, complications such as diastasis recti, don't just happen in the months after pregnancy, but often well beyond two years, and Holistic Core Restore® can help.
Holistic Core Restore® builds on my certification as a MuTu Pro, and both postnatal qualifications complement my training as a Pilates teacher.
I work with clients to get a stronger lower back, and a more optimally functioning core and pelvic floor which in turn helps to flatten the stomach. Also, Holistic Core Restore® offers a really good lifestyle balance, sensible eating, core exercises and workouts which can be modified for everyone. I believe that there is a real need for better postnatal, peri/ menopausal care and I look forward to helping as many women as possible.
I am also a qualified STOTT PILATES® instructor which is regarded as one of the world's leaders in the Pilates field. It is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Any person of any age and fitness can benefit from Pilates; from teenagers, to the stressed office worker, professional athletes to the retired. Pilates works for everyone because everyone needs, and takes something different from it.
My qualifications and courses include:
- Holistic Core Restore® Coach
- Holistic Core Restore® Pelvic Floor & Core Foundations
- Holistic Core Restore® Third Age Woman
- MUTU Pro
- HIP Pilates (High Intensity Power Pilates)
- STOTT PILATES® Advanced Matwork
- STOTT PILATES® Intermediate Matwork
- STOTT PILATES® Essential Matwork
- Level 3 diploma in teaching Pilates
- STOTT PILATES® Prenatal Pilates
- STOTT PILATES® Postnatal Pilates
- STOTT PILATES® Posture Analysis
- STOTT PILATES® Stabilization Principles

Soundproofing means the reducing of the sound intensity with respect to a specified sound source and receptor. There are several basic approaches to reduce sound:
- increasing the distance between source and receiver,
- using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves,
- using damping structures such as sound baffles,
- or using active anti-noise sound generators.
Two distinct soundproofing problems may need to be considered when designing acoustic treatments –
To improve the sound within a room,

text: Huffman Engineering, Inc. Simplifies Process Control Engineering Management with Adept Process plants depend on highly specialized control systems. They are an integrated product combining software, mechanical equipment, and sensors. Huffman Engineering, Inc. has become a leading partner to manufacturers, utility plants, and the life sciences industry by designing and implementing sophisticated control systems for industrial facilities. Using their knowledge of engineering, information technology, and business, system integrators like Huffman Engineering, integrate plant equipment to automate manufacturing and processes from the plant floor to the enterprise level. No two projects are alike, says Jay Steinman, a mechanical engineer at Huffman Engineering. The company is a full-service vendor, building control panels and the interface equipment between plant equipment and computers, and providing the software to run and interact with the system. Much of their work is for heavily regulated industries including water/wastewater and life sciences. A typical project in water/wastewater would be to build controls for every valve and gate and to install sensors that monitor flow and water quality. A project in life sciences might be to install the serialization control system consisting of vision systems and laser marking systems for a new machine that bottles pills. In both cases, Huffman Engineering does not build the machines, but adds the controlling technology to the equipment. The processes are complicated, and most of their clients work under intense regulation pressure, requiring strict adherence to manufacturing and testing protocols. "It all must be thoroughly documented," says Keith Mandachit, a senior engineer and Huffman Engineering's IT manager. "We can't just build it and send it out. We have to provide a lot of specification and testing documentation." Huffman Engineering also provides industrial network security services. In a recent electric utility project, the company was brought in to consult on cyber security. They discovered the utility was using the same computer network to run both their facility and their business operations. The business side was connected to the at-large Internet, putting the security of the power facility potentially at-risk. Huffman Engineering created a completely separate network to cut off the utility's internal control system from the outside world. A Need to Nail Down the Single Source of Truth Each project creates a tremendous amount of engineering data and reference information, in the form of CAD drawings or models, project management and work process forms, certifications, documentation of systems, documentation of testing, PLC programming, and more. On the company network file storage, projects were organized into separate folders, but there was no standard protocol for how to repurpose documents or to manage revisions. As Huffman Engineering did more and more projects for their clients as well as creating control systems, there was a lack of consistency in how the project files were managed as part of the project. Over time the company created an ad hoc, manual revisioning system for CAD drawings using network file folders. "Then with the engineering side we were storing programs and specifications within our project folders," says Steinman. "Sometimes people would make revisions, but you never knew which files were the latest revision. Many of our projects touched the same systems. As projects moved along and control software was reused or modified, it was not being tracked across multiple projects. We didn't have that single source of truth with those programs." It is not uncommon for Huffman Engineering clients to ask for CAD drawings or other documentation years after the work has finished. "Even though we give them a copy of everything, they still rely on us for their files," says Steinman. Every time a drawing is copied and shared, it creates another version that can, over time, be modified. Having more than one copy of any particular drawing or model means there is no single source of truth. Project numbering as a tool for record keeping was another area where Huffman Engineering realized they needed a new way to work. For years, projects were just named for the numerical order they came to the company, by client. Often a client would request bids on three separate projects: Huffman engineers would simply name them Project 1; Project 2; and Project 3. "But they might not actually happen in sequential order," says Mandachit. "Project 3 might be the first one we did; Project 1 might be the last one we implemented." It might be easy enough for those working on the project to keep track through the sequence mismatch, but when others in the company became involved, projects were easily confused. Employees were wasting time looking for data in the wrong places." Huffman Engineering is a certified member of the Control Systems Integrator Association (CSIA). Certified control systems integrators are required to be audited for engineering processes every three years. CSIA defines configuration management (CM) as a technical discipline that establishes the systematic control and recording of changes that are made to the hardware, software and documentation so that a system or a subsystem component maintains its integrity throughout the system development lifecycle. "Every time we have been audited and we got to the section on project configuration management, we would pass but with a `C'' not with an 'A,'" says Mandachit. "We wanted to get an `A`; we felt it was very important to improve this aspect of our business process." Finding the Answers in Synergis Adept Through the CSIA community, Steinman and Mandachit heard a presentation about configuration management. The company realized it had much to gain from getting its engineering document management under control. At first, the team looked at GIT and Subversion, open source tools designed to automate file management for software developers. However, they were not suitable for most engineering document types, and employees who evaluated these products found them hard to use. Next they looked at a software product that did only one thing, create a versioning system for PLC programs — but it lacked configuration management. They further explored the use of Microsoft SharePoint technology, but found it needed too much customization. After examining its various capabilities, a decision was made to invest in Synergis Adept as it was the only solution that could satisfy all requirements. "We wanted that `A'," says Steinman. "We knew it would be difficult to estimate ROI because it is incremental amounts of time being saved. But we knew we had to spend some amount of money to get what we needed." Huffman Engineering chose to go with Synergis Software's "Quick Start" form of implementation. With help from one Synergis implementation consultant, they were up and running in three days. The company has chosen to pull older data (legacy data) into the system on an as-needed basis. A couple of years earlier, the company did a serious archiving project and now Steinman and others pull older project data into the Adept system when needed. Projects that were in process when Adept was deployed are not being migrated; all new projects are starting in Adept. Unlike complex Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems that require all engineering data to be uploaded before anyone uses the new software, Adept makes it easy for users to add new files and folders to the system as needed. Like most Adept users, Huffman Engineering is managing CAD drawings and related documents such as specifications. They also use it to manage the programs created to run programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human machine interfaces (HMI). Each software file created is stored with the related project, but easily made available in Adept to be tracked for configuration management. The company takes advantage of an Adept feature called Unlinked Records, and are being rather inventive in their implementation. Unlinked Records is a feature in Adept intended to be used to include various records not in electronic format, such as drawings on paper, a box in storage, or other documents on paper regarding a project. Unlinked Records could also be filenames and record numbers being saved for future use. An Unlinked Record is the electronic stand-in for the record, with a note on where to find it and what the connection is to the project. Huffman Engineering organizes its records method based on pieces of equipment, since they are tracked and maintained after they are manufactured and installed. Unlinked Records are created for every piece of equipment to track all the supporting files that make up its configuration and their specific versions. "Prior to Adept, we didn't really have all this information so easily accessible. We would be hunting around on our server trying to find where all these different files were, so we could put them together," says Mandachit. The company wanted to do better in their configuration management process; with Adept and the Unlinked Records feature they found the key to this improvement. "We believe to truly satisfy the [audit] requirements requires the solution we have in Adept," says Mandachit. Another pleasant surprise was how easy it was for Synergis Adept to publish drawings as PDF files using Adept PublishWave. Not all Huffman engineers have a copy of AutoCAD. Before Adept, anyone who needed to print a drawing would need to contact the CAD department to get a print. Now anyone who needs to print a drawing can use the PDF version created by PublishWave. "It is a huge time-saver for our CAD manager, who has to respond to every request," adds Mandachit. Adept with PublishWave also manages when the PDF was created, so that if changes occur to the original AutoCAD drawing it is easy for a user to know there is a newer version. A Better Way to Manage Control Systems Engineering Huffman Engineering now has a complete system in place to manage its complex web of process control engineering documents, drawings and programs. It believes its use of Unlinked Records gives it a best practice for configuration management unrivaled in the control systems integration industry. "We looked around and found Adept is able to do everything we needed," says Steinman. "We have best practices for maintaining revision levels and we have our single source of truth."

Delectable is an interesting story about how true love is meant to be. In this story we get a glimpse into Molly and Callee's relationship. It was a very enjoyable glimpse. Along with the romance plot we also get a sub-plot in the overall Big Sky Pie series.
The author, Adrianne Lee, did a great job describing all that Molly had to do in building a business. With the pie plot it was funny to read how Quint didn't want the pie shop, but soon he finds himself kneading dough!
For the ends: There is a cherry Pie recipe that I am going to make!
I am giving this book a 4 of 5.
Montana real estate agent Quint McCoy will tell you that the most important thing is location, location, location. It's a lesson he learns all too well when he goes incommunicado for a four-week fishing trip to Alaska. While he's away, his mother Molly turns his office into the pie shop she has always dreamed of, Big Sky Pie. But that's not the only surprise in store for him.
On her way out of town, Callee McCoy only wants to say a fond farewell to her beloved mother-in-law. But Molly soon persuades Callee to stay and lend a hand at the new shop, even if it means heating up the kitchen with her soon-to-be ex. As Callee and Quint rediscover their recipe for love, they realize that some couples are so sinfully good together that one delectable taste is never enough . . .

IGIA: Promise of good times with hospitality and airline hubsBusiness January 5, 2014 No Comments on IGIA: Promise of good times with hospitality and airline hubs 4
By Rohit Vaid
New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS) Becoming the hub of at least two airlines and housing a 43-acre hospitality district, the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here is set for a big leap in passenger traffic. Currently, no airport in India caters to two airlines as a hub or a base of operations. Also, there is neither any hospitality-based Aerocity operational anywhere else in the country.
"Delhi airport is already the busiest in India with passenger traffic growing in double digits. Addition of infrastructure like Aerocity project will help it in absorbing the growth in passenger traffic," said Rajiv Chib, associate director, aerospace and defence at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Marcel Hungerbuehler, chief operating officer, Delhi International Airport Limited, the company which manages Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, concurred. "We already have world class infrastructure in place to handle any exponential growth in passenger traffic," he told IANS.
"Air India has already made terminal-3 (T3) as its hub and we will be pleased if the proposed Tata-SIA (Singapore Airlines) airline makes IGIA its base or hub in the future," he added.
Last year the IGIA handled approximately 36.77 million passengers and 590,000 tonnes of cargo.
Air India is focussing on providing easy transit for passengers to various connecting international and domestic destinations in line with international practices followed at other global airports like Singapore's Changi, London's Heathrow, New York's JFK and Frankfurt.
Apart from Air India, Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines have announced their plans to launch a new full-service private carrier based in the national capital.
The proposal of their $100 million joint venture (JV) was approved by the FIPB (Foreign Investment Promotion Board) in October, last year. Officials of the proposed airline hope to launch services by May-June 2014.
According to aviation industry experts, another major factor which will boost passenger traffic to and from the national capital is the addition of Delhi Aerocity near the IGIA.
"The Areocity project will add hotel rooms, office space and commercial activity area and with two airlines making the city's airport as a hub will only add value to the travelling passenger," Ankur Bhatia, member, Confederation of Indian Industry's panel on civil aviation, told IANS.
The Aerocity project is expected to ultimately house 16 luxury hotels and commercial spaces. Currently, major brands like Marriott, Lemon Tree Premier and Red Fox hotels are in operation in the Aerocity complex.
Patu Keswani, chairman and managing director, Lemon Tree Hotel Company, said passenger traffic from the IGIA would grow.
"We are very positive that air traffic from Delhi is bound to grow. This is evident with the fact that Tata-SIA's proposed airline has indicated that they might make Delhi as their operations hub," Keswani said.

July 1873: Independence Day celebrated at picnic ground across river (Felton Grove), featuring new dance floor.
May 1875: George Treat's $30,000 mortgage on Zayante Rancho foreclosed by Charles McLaughlin.
July 1875: Campers from Santa Cruz at grove across river.
July 16, 1875: Santa Cruz Local Item "In Camp At Felton": On Wednesday a party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Terry, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Chace and children, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Moore, Mrs. T. J. Weeks and child, Mrs. Henderson, Miss Julia Chace, Miss Fanny Bailey, Mrs. I. Vestal, Miss Flora Besse, Mr. Wm. Avas, Mr. Fred Moore, and Mr. Aleck Bailey, pitched their tents at the Picnic Grounds near Felton. Two years ago the public spirited people in Felton fitted up these grounds with a nice large platform for speaking, dancing, etc. , built 3 long tables and arranged the place for celebrations, picnics and parties. Water and wood are convenient, and the campers pleasantly located, and for the past week, camp life has been enjoyed to its fullest. Visitors from Santa Cruz and Felton came daily and on Sunday some 30 persons from Santa Cruz visited the camp and partook of a genuine camp dinner. All were welcome and good feeling prevailed throughout the camp. Monday night a dance was given and a general invitation was extended to all. The people of Felton responded in their usual hearty manner and attended in large numbers. When the ITEM reporter arrived a pleasing and picturesque scene was presented. A huge camp-fire sending up its bright flames illuminated the grounds, above which was suspended in evergreen on a white background, the word "Welcome". Around the fire were gathered the campers and guests in every attitude of comfort. The platform, lighted by candles, and the three white tents adjoining standing boldly out against the black background of the woods, added much to the novel spectacle. At nine o'clock the first dance was called, and soon the woods resounded with the sound of music, the hum of voices, and peals of merry laughter. With little intermission dancing was continued until 1 o'clock. In the meantime, no regular supper having been prepared, the dancers, as they wearied, refreshed themselves with hot coffee and a cold lunch. Over one hundred persons were present, and all expressed themselves well pleased. The music was furnished by Felton musicians. Among those present who came from Santa Cruz were Judge S.S. Holl, Mrs. J. T. Griffith, and Miss C. L. Ray of Sacramento; Miss Pearl McCann, Ed Heacock, Horace Heacock, George Fox, C.F. Kittridge, Underwood McCann and J. Heacock. The names of only a portion of those present from Felton could be obtained, but among them were Mr. and Mrs. Jas Cormack, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. McKoy, Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. David Kent, Mr. and Mrs. Capt Staples, Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, Mr. and Mrs, Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. A. Frazier, Mr. and Mrs. J. Hayes, Miss Glynn, the Misses Welch, Miss Risper Bennett, John Mahanna, John Hagar, A. Stark, J. Welch, H. Welch, F. Staples, C. White and others. Tuesday the campers returned to Santa Cruz, and expressed themselves as under obligations to the people of Felton for favors and courtesies shown them during their entire day in camp.

After taking a closer look into political cartoons during the civil war it became apparent that although these cartoons are very satirical they tackled important topics during the war such as abolitionism, racism, and military battles. "Civil War political cartoons offer a look into an important time in the history of the United States that was full of diversity and turmoil." https://antiques.lovetoknow.com/Civil_War_Political_Cartoons – Secondary
Another important use of political cartoons is getting the perspective from the people who were actually living through that time. This website lists the political cartoons in chronological order so I will be able to move through time with the political cartoons and observe how they change and how people's perception of the war changed throughout the war. https://hsp.org/education/unit-plans/visual-culture-and-the-civil-war/teaching-the-civil-war-through-political-cartoons – Primary
In hindsight, we know that is was a very good thing that the Union won the civil war. However, it is extremely interesting to truly understand each side of the war. The war was an extremely emotional time for this entire country. It truly is heartbreaking to read these accounts of the civil war. This source expressed the emotion that is brought out through these political cartoons.
https://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/Library_Bulletin/Apr1997/Wait.html – Primary
The Civil War cost the United States 620,000 American Lives. Based on today's population, that would amount to 6 million men. The Civil War marks an extremely emotional time in our history. Everything from abolitionism to the battles being fought were subjects of political cartoons during that time. Depending on the country's current attitude, political cartoon perspectives changed throughout the war. The Confederate cartoons, for example, were very optimistic in the beginning, but showed a marked change toward the end. To truly understand the country's attitude during the war, one can simply follow the political cartoons from the beginning of the war to the end.

In Western Greece, there is a sacred place that welcomes you with its natural wealth, stout and hearty citizens and the watery charms of a famous lagoon
Even the finest photographers have trouble capturing the light that turns the vast Messologi lagoon golden at sunset. Situated between two lagoons, Messologi (from the Italian mezzo laghi, hence its alternative spelling, Messolonghi) is a flat city, beloved of cyclists and genuinely family-friendly.
Echoes of the Greek Revolution abound: Lord Byron died here, inspiring hundreds of Philhellenes to support the Cause, and national poet of Greece, Dionysios Solomos, immortalized the famous siege in an epic poem. The lagoon is a fisherman's tale of cinematic proportions, made up of 'corrals', or special fishing enclosures, weirs that fiddle a little with the water flow, fishing huts on stilts, flat-bottomed boats and the islets of Kleisova and Agios Sostis; sights that will have you clicking your camera nonstop. Here in Western Greece, Messologi shares its secrets.
What to do in Messolongi
Revolutionary Messolongi: the stand of the free
For Greeks, the city stands for an unparalleled show of courage and resistance. Besieged by a much larger force of Ottoman Turks and Egyptians for 12 months, the whole population decided to break out in April 1826. Only a fraction survived but the 'Exodus' became a milestone in Greek history and was a catalyst for greater international support. Messolongi was declared a sacred city in 1937.
One of the Mediterranean's richest wetlands
The twin lagoons of Messolongi-Aitolikos, together with the deltas of the Acheloos and Evinos rivers, form one of the Mediterranean's largest habitats for birds and fish. It extends from the foothills of Mt Varasova to the bay of Astakos on the Ionian, with a coastline of 50km, covering 140,000 sq m. Protected by the Ramsar Convention, it attracts more than 200 types of birds, best observed between October and March.
Avgotaraho: a delicacy fit for the Sultans
Messolongi bottarga, dried grey mullet roe, is prized the world over. Under the Turks, the Sublime Porte in Constantinople consumed it all. Now you too can taste this briny treat, a unique product of Greece, which some prefer to caviar.
Walking in the garden of heroes
The creation of this leafy garden commemorating the heroes of the Greek War of Independence of 1821 was one of the first acts of the Capodistrias government in 1830. Here, you'll see the tombs of many renowned patriots as well as that of Lord Byron. Afterwards, you'll want to visit the Museum of History and Art, in a handsome neoclassical building of 1932 and the Folklore Museum.
The Contemporary Art Gallery houses an important collection of 20th-century Greek painters, sculptors and engravers. This cultured city appreciates art and history but also has a taste for the good life, as you'll find in its hotels, cafes, bars and restaurants, which are open year round.

Peter Lippmann seems like a photographer that would really like to be shooting plants full-time. In his personal portfolio he has collections of rotting fruit, flowers in jars and assorted cacti. In his commercial work he takes haute couture photographs of expensive shoes, handbags and jewellery, yet even for these assignments he manages to slip in the odd botanical theme. His recent work for Christian Louboutin did just that, using still-life flower portraits, that paid homage to past masters, to elevate designer wares.
Cacti are so stunningly architectural with their succulent shapes, ridges, spines and areoles, but as is often the case with many plants, not everyone looks so close-up to see just how wonderful the form and detail of these desert living plants are. Lippmann produces polished plant art, making it impossible not to indulge in a spot of morphological awe. See his website for more.

Avantika Shankar writes across various forms ranging from playwriting to art and design. She also writes haikus. For the play DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE, she has collaborated with Mahesh Dattani. Mumbai Theatre Guide quizzes her about playwriting, working with Mahesh Dattani, and what she thinks of writing for children.
By Deepa Punjani
Deepa Punjani (DP):
You have a wide array of writing interests. How would you describe your approach to playwriting?
Avantika Shankar (AS):
My approach to playwriting has definitely been influenced by my work in lifestyle journalism, and especially by my work in children's theatre. It's very investigative -- I like to do a lot of research before I even begin writing the play. I like establishing a structure to follow before I begin. I used to just sit down and write whatever came into my head -- and there still are benefits to that approach, but I can't do that anymore. It's very slow-and-steady for me now.
Tell us about a recent play that inspired you?
The last play I read that blew my mind was MAGELLANICA by EM Lewis. It's very ambitious and her entire process just fascinated me. It is very research-driven, very tight and very, very visual.
You have done a dramatic writing programme at the Tisch School of Arts at New York University. How helpful has that been to you? Would you recommend the programme to aspiring playwrights?
I'd say it's a good programme, and I've met some incredible people through it. But I've attended enough workshops here in India that are as good, if not better. One thing I will say is that it helps to dedicate four years to developing your craft, and I wish we had something like that here.
The central theme of DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE is, well, love. Your two stories revolve around a man and a woman who date each other. How do you avoid the clichés of the setting?
It's funny, cause I never sat down to writing my plays thinking, "This is about love", or "I am writing a romantic comedy." So I don't know that I made a conscious attempt to avoid clichés. I mean, for all I know, my play could be riddled with clichés. I've never really thought about it.
Was it daunting to collaborate with Mahesh Dattani on this project?
Mahesh is one of the kindest, most encouraging and supportive people I've had the privilege to work with. It's daunting to have one's work presented alongside his, for sure, since he is so respected in the field, but working with him was very, very fulfilling.
Since you write for children as well, what do you have to say about this genre?
Writing for children is definitely more visual, more movement-based, and more structured in terms of plot, but in many ways, writing for adults isn't very different. It really depends on the play. Children are great audiences and smarter than we give them credit for. And they're really, really attentive. It always surprises me what they respond to and what they notice.

Worshipping 'headless deity' at Chinnamasta Temple in Jharkhand
Heard of a temple where a 'headless deity' is worshipped? No? Then let me take you to Chinnamasta Temple in Rajrappa (located in the district of Ramgarh in Jharkhand). It sounds weird but for the ardent devotees, worshipping headless Goddess Chinnamasta (the beheaded form of Goddess Kali) is completely normal! The temple holds an immense religious significance as it is also one of the Shakti Peetha temples in the country. Let's take a closer look at this unusual tantrik style temple where devotees believe the wishes get fulfilled all the time.
Location of the temple
The temple of Chinnamasta is located 28 km away from Ramgarh Cantonment in the small town of Rajrappa in the Indian state of Jharkhand. Its location is quite interesting as the temple stands on a small hill at the confluence of the two rivers namely, Damodar and Bhera (Bhairavi River).
History and the legends
Being a Shakti Peetha, there are several mysterious stories related to the temple. This temple is significantly old and also finds its mention in various Hhindu religious scriptures like the Vedas and the Puranas. As per Hindu mythology, after slaughtering and gulping blood of a number of demons from the underworld, Jaya and Vijaya, the two companions of Goddess Bhagwati wanted to more blood. So to quench their blood thirst, the goddess cut-off her own head and offered herself. It's from that time the beheaded goddess came to known as Maa Chhinnamastika or Mata Chinnamasta.
The main shrine has the idol of the goddess which you'll see is without head, standing on bodies of Kamdev and Rati in the lotus bed. Three spurts of blood can be seen oozing out of the beheaded goddess who is holding her own head in one hand and in other she has a sharp weapon.
Best time to visit
Though the temple remains flooded with devotees throughout the year, the best time to witness the glory of this gorgeous temple would be between October and March. Several Hindu festivals such as Makar Sankranti and Maha Shivratri are celebrated here with much fervour and enthusiasm. So if you want to pay a religious visit, come in during this time.
How to reach Chinnamasta Temple?
The temple is well connected to rest part of the state so reaching here won't be an issue. The nearest airport is in Ranchi, the state capital city, which is about 70 km from away. Buses and taxis are easily available from outside the airport. Those travelling by train can get their tickets booked till Ramgarh railway station which is only 28 km from the temple. From outside the station, you can hire a taxi or even get a direct bus for the temple.

I thought I'd treat you to a picture of the chaos that is my desk. No matter how often I try and tidy it I always end up working on a small A4 sized space on my cutting mat. I have now developed a technique of working on a board which is resting between my knees and the table- edge for such occasions!
