initComputationTask(IComputationTaskConfiguration, IModelReader, RunInformation, StringBuffer, List<ISimulationServer>), several methods called by it, and the constructor of ExecutionMeasurement used therein, have an "out" parameter that could be used to log messages to the given StringBuffer in addition to the usual log output. Hoever, it seems whereever the method is called the parameter value is null (except for tests, where it is new StringBuffer(), i.e. it is not referenced anywhere again, either).
The javadoc does not elucidate the purpose well, either:
"@param out
- the out"
(I noticed this when inlining the only two report methods from Entity – see https://altair.informatik.uni-rostock.de/jira/browse/JAMESII-348 – that actually contained some logic (as opposed to a single call to another method), which were incidentally only used in the context above.)
I now removed the out parameter as suggested. To propagate the output of external processes org.jamesii.core.util.misc.exec.StreamReader should be used, and to post-process such output one could add a org.jamesii.core.util.logging.ILogListener to the org.jamesii.core.util.logging.ApplicationLogger.
My point was just that out will be handled correctly by our default task setup, so it can be used. Sorry about the confusion.
Anyhow, if nobody really uses it we could (should) still remove it. I have checked the code to include external formalisms and this does not really use it either (but maybe it should?). We could simply say that output management is handled via logging (this is how it is currently done in the external formalisms code).
Pardon me? handleError is only ever called by initComputationTask, is it not? So how can it "use" the parameter if this one never has a useful value in initComputationTask in the first place?
As far as I see it, the string buffer is used in SimulationRunSetup#handleError. I fixed (and updated) the javadocs.

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Maximum Remix
Release Date:
Out Now
Racing / Sports
Acclaim Entertainment
Mild Lyrics
Mild Violence
The ultimate BMX gaming experience is here! Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX: Maximum Remix includes the entire best-selling Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX game plus more of everything the fans have asked for: more levels, more riders, more tricks, and more modes.
The King of the BMX games, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX: Maximum Remix has the best gameplay and most features anywhere.
Eleven-time X-Games dominator Dave Mirra is on another ride for the PlayStation game console in this wicked sequel from Acclaim Sports. What's the deal with the remix? 20 massive tracks are ready to be ripped up and flaired on, including the original 12 tracks and half a dozen new street, vert, and dirt runs. Also on deck are over 1,300 tricks to throw down, including the crucial new Wall Ride. The difficulty has been cranked up for an Expert mode, which means more of those hardcore crashes that you see splayed out from the game's killer graphic engine (and feel as well, if you're equipped with the rocking DUALSHOCK analog controller). New records kept (including Biggest Combo, Biggest Spin, and Longest Nose Wheelie), improved Replay mode and new challenges in the stages round out the changes. But how would this be a remix without new music tracks? Not only does Maximum Remix include killer songs from Sublime, Social D., Pennywise, and Swingin' Utters, but packed in the box is a free music CD with tracks from the game and additional bonus punk tunes.

THOMAS TARU (not real name) has had flu for two days since he does not have medical aid as well as money for the doctor, he resorts to using natural remedies which, unfortunately, fail to work for him.
However, a colleague at work notices this and instructs him to inhale and apply, up the nostrils, a certain liquid which is said to have natural herbs called 'Tsunami 100%.
Funny enough, it works wonders and after a few minutes there is some relief.
Taru takes the 100% Tsunami again at night and the next morning, the flu has completely disappeared.
"I had difficulties in breathing due to flu and tried all remedies but did not work until I heard of this tsunami and it worked for me (sic)," said Taru
"It has instant results. However, I think the authorities must test it and see if it is safe and does not affect people's health in the long-run."
Nyasha Takaendesa has similar testimony.
He had a terrible tooth ache and dropped 100% Tsunami on that tooth. He got relief instantly.
100% Tsunami has become the talk of town as it is affordable healing many ailments.
A closer look at 100% Tsunami shows it is a green liquid, extracted from natural plants such as camphor wood and mint, mixed using high technology, has a punchy smell, tastes cool and spicy and has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, relieving itches, keeping cool and easing pains.
The instruction leaflet highlights that 100% Tsunami is effective for treating mosquito bites, colds, nasal congestion and headaches, preventing motion sickness in vehicles and ships, bruises and sprains, muscle soreness, abdominal pains and toothaches.
However, the leaflet states in bold letters that it cannot be used as a pharmaceutical product and clients are encouraged to consult doctors if the symptom is not relieved after a week.
Pregnant women and children under the age of one may not use it and children can only use it under adult supervision.
Despite its magic effect, 100% Tsunami is not approved for sale in Zimbabwe by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ).
The director general of MCAZ, Gugulethu Mahlangu warned members of the public against buying this green liquid.
"The product has to go through various channels of being assessed then approved and certified in order for it to be approved," she said.
"We do not know if this liquid is fit for consumption, hence, we are advising members of the public to desist from buying this 100% Tsunami."
Mahlangu said in as much as people celebrated the apparent healing properties of 100% Tsunami, there is no research that shows what the product does to the human system if it is used continuously.
She discouraged people from buying medicines from unlicenced traders on the streets because they are not certified.
According to the herbal supplement, the camphor tree is native to the southern islands of Japan, China and Taiwan, where it forms majestic forests.
It is also cultivated in many countries with tropical and sub-tropical climate, especially in India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Madagascar, South Africa and the US.
It comes in three varieties; white, yellow and brown.
Only the white one is used medicinally as the other two are quite toxic.
Once, it was used as an external pain remedy for bruises, wounds, inflammation, gout and rheumatic joints and internally to treat hysteria, epilepsy and heart-related ailments.
Additionally, it was used in incense form as a treatment for asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments.
Today, camphor is mainly used in creams and ointments for rheumatic pain, neuralgia, arthritis, sore muscles, sprains and bruises.
In addition, it is used as an insect repellent. A camphor oil, or some other products that contain it, can be applied externally on the neck and chest as a remedy for acute or chronic pneumonia and bronchitis.
It can also be used directly on hands and feet to treat chilblains, acne and cold sores.
Camphor, as a herbal medicine, is now available primarily as oil where the pure crystallised form has been dissolved in olive oil, peanut oil or another neutral base oil.
It can cause a rash or allergic reactions in some people.
Overuse can cause skin irritation and no products containing camphor should be used on open wounds or burns.
All internal uses of the herb are advised against.
If it is consumed, it may cause vomiting, palpitations, convulsions, delirium, hallucinations or even death.
Children and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use the herb.
Mint, as another ingredient of 100% Tsunami, is a great herb that soothes stomach aches and is good for indigestion.
It can also be used for nausea and headaches, respiratory problems like bronchitis, asthma and pneumonia
The strong aroma of mint is very effective in freshening the nose, bronchi, lungs and throat.
Mint is also used for weight loss, oral care, stress relief and research is still under way that primarily proves it is a well-herb for cancer prevention.
More research is still needed on its effectiveness in cancer treatment.
100% Tsunami: Use at own risk
THOMAS TARU (not real name) has had flu for two days since he does not have medical aid as well as money for the doctor, he resorts to using natural remedies which, unfortunately, fail to work for him.

Good morning.
We're trying something new for our readers in Europe: a morning briefing to jump-start your day.
What do you like? What do you want to see here? Email us with your feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here's what you need to know:
• The telecom giant AT&T's proposed $85.4 billion purchase of Time Warner, the home of CNN and HBO, is likely to spur more consolidation among global media companies.
The merger plan, one of a surprising number of megadeals in what would normally be a tumultuous business environment, faces sharp scrutiny by regulators in the United States.
• In the American presidential race, Hillary Clinton continued to widen her lead in national polls, while Donald J. Trump received his first endorsement from a major newspaper.
The newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal, is owned by the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, a Trump supporter and longtime Republican benefactor.
With just over two weeks to go until Election Day, President Obama is stepping in to help more than 150 candidates for state office.
• Iraqi and Kurdish forces backed by American-led airstrikes advanced to within six miles of the city of Mosul.
The battle has revived tensions between Turkey and Iraq.
The Pentagon is sending teams of analysts to examine the trove of intelligence they expect to discover when Islamic State fighters are ousted.
• Mariano Rajoy, Spain's caretaker prime minister, is set to form a new government, ending a 10-month impasse.
The period of deadlock has weakened his main rivals.
King Felipe VI will open a new round of consultations with party leaders today. A final vote on Mr. Rajoy's re-election is expected this weekend.
• The European Union gave Belgium until late today to overcome opposition from the region of Wallonia to a free trade deal with Canada.
Liberalized trade has become politically radioactive around much of the globe.
• France is beginning to clear the migrant camp in the port city of Calais, in an operation that could last a week.
Sixty buses are expected to take about 3,000 residents to shelters across the country. Most of the unaccompanied minors at the camp will stay there until requests for family reunification in Britain are examined by both governments.
• How will Prime Minister Narendra Modi respond if Pakistan-based militants carry out another attack in India?
Experts are increasingly concerned that Mr. Modi's tough stance may have narrowed his options, raising the risks of war with Pakistan.
• A busy week in earnings reports lies ahead with investors watching Apple, Tesla, Deutsche Bank and other major European banks. Google is expected to respond to European Union antitrust charges by Wednesday.
• Friday's attack on the infrastructure of the internet in the U.S. was a remarkable reminder about how billions of ordinary web-connected devices like thermostats and cameras can be turned to vicious purposes.
• A climate-friendlier coolant for use in cars' air-conditioners has far less impact on global warming, but it's flammable and expensive.
• Here's a snapshot of global markets.
In the News
• Hungary honored the 60th anniversary the country's uprising against Soviet rule. Speaking at a rally amid protesters' jeers, Prime Minister Viktor Orban likened E.U. bureaucrats to those of the Soviet Union. (Associated Press)
• "Scotland has the gayest Parliament in the world." Once a bastion of social conservatism, the country has a new sense of politics. (The New York Times)
• China's powerful anticorruption agency is expected to gain new powers to enforce party loyalty from the Communist Party's Central Committee, which begins four days of meetings today. (The New York Times)
• A group of sailors held hostage by Somali pirates was freed after four years of captivity. One said he felt like a "walking dead." (The Guardian)
• The Israeli minister of culture and sports, Miri Regev, says she wants nothing less than an overthrow of the nation's elite. (The New York Times Style Magazine)
• The embrace of Canadian families has catapulted some Syrian refugees into lives of relative comfort and plenty. But the Syrians and their hosts are facing a new kind of difficulty: volleys of desperate messages from those left behind. (The New York Times)
• The first woman to climb Mount Everest, Junko Tabei, died of cancer at age 77. She was also the first woman to climb the tallest mountain on each continent.
• An exhibition in Berlin confronts the lesser-known history of mass murder of more than two million people after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941.
• Officially, Marguerite LeHand was Franklin D. Roosevelt's secretary. But she wielded far more influence in the White House than her title conveyed and nearly as much as any man aside from the president, according to a new book that explores their relationship.
• A music producer in Ecuador found a trove of almost perfectly preserved audiotapes representing a vital chapter of the country's musical history.
• The world may be increasingly globalized, but local customs still prevail when saying hello.
Back Story
Let's begin the week talking about endings.
"It's not how you start, it's how you finish" is a well-worn sports cliché that's timely right now for baseball fans. Today is the eve of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians.
Both teams rely heavily on their closers, the pitchers who enter in a game's final inning. For the Cubs, it's Aroldis Chapman. Cody Allen is used to lock down games for the Indians.
Their specialty: protecting their team's leads by shutting down opposing batters with high-velocity throws. Chapman, who is Cuban, frequently reaches 100 miles per hour.
In Spanish, he might be called "el cerrador." A South Korean reliever in the major leagues was known as "The Final Boss" while playing in Asia.
Michelle Obama has been called "The Closer," too, for her powerful speeches during the final weeks of presidential campaigns. And Alec Baldwin riffed on the word in "Glengarry Glen Ross," commanding a group of salesmen to "always be closing" in a profane tirade.
The Indians know what happens to those who can't.
They were three outs from winning the 1997 World Series, but their closer blew a 2-1 lead to the Florida Marlins in the deciding game. Cleveland lost in extra innings.
Sean Alfano contributed reporting.

Questions on stubs Follow
currently I'm looking at the stub functionality used by custom language plugins.
I do have some questions, some help is really appreciated here.
1. What are stubs used for?
I think they are used to store a parser result (psi) to disk and can be used in indexes, too. Is this correct?
2. Do I need to create a stub element for each available PSI element?
Would be quite a lot of work... I digged through the Scala plugin source but couldn't find a clear answer to this.
3. How are stub elements stored? Do I need to implement custom serialization or is there an automatic way which saves/restored stub elements to/from disk?
4. I want to quickly look up a method name to find all classes where the method is available - do I need just stubs, do I need an index or both?
5. Is there a small plugin available which uses stubs?
I couldn't find detailed information on stubs so I'd appreciate some help
Kind regards,

Well, year three is here for the first sixteen hops that we started on our farm. Last year we added an additional sixteen hops to give us a grand total of thirty two plants in the ground. This year we are expecting big things from our first plantings. The varieties in the first batch included Nugget, Sorachi Ace, Chinook, Perle, Saaz and Cascade.
Of that first batch, we had about an 88% success rate with planting just one rhizome in each spot. Typically we've read that you want to get two or three for each mound but we were newbies and didn't know. Last year we were able to take clippings from the nugget and cascade and propagate the mounds that didn't grow from the original rhizomes. We had great success with that approach.
With our second batch, we decided to source them from a different place. We had about a 94% success rate with only one galena which never broke the surface. Again we only bought one rhizome per mound to start. Of that batch we decided to stick with two varieties that were tested in North Carolina State's hop research as providing higher yields than others that were tested. Those two are cascade and nugget which we use to brew our Sideways Pale Ale. Last year we brewed a wet hopped version of that ale which was fantastic. It was earthy and citrusy which really balanced well with the local malts that are used. The remaining varieties planted are Magnum, Zeus, Crystal and Galena.
Many of the plants this year have taken off with a flurry of growth. We hope that the weather holds up and we do not have another brutal freeze. Here are a few snapshots of some of the plants today as we do our morning inspection.
We'll keep you posted as these bines continue to stretch to the top of the trellis!

Utopian practices : Art, Science & Design REunited
I attended this on March 19th 2009
It was a day of lectures and discussion organized by the Waag Society, the Virtual Knowledge Studio (KNAW) and the Centre for Arts & Genomics Leiden at the De Balie in Amsterdam.
Dutch trains are usually punctual but this time not, so Amalia and I arrived a half hour later than planned and so missed the beginning of Suzanne's talk.
>> Susan Kennard, Executive Director of the new media institute BANFF in Canada, presents Tracklines, a location-based storytelling experience designed to be delivered on wilderness trails in Banff National Park using GPS-enabled mobile phones.
I'd heard about the Art Mobile Lab from Angus who I met in NZ in February and did a residency at Banff in 1998, so wanted to meet the new director.
Next Beatriz da Costa spoke about PigeonBlog which equips urban homing pigeons with GPS enabled electronic air pollution sensing devices capable of sending real-time location based air pollution and image data to an online mapping/blogging environment. I'd heard her talk about this at Mediamatic about a year ago but what was new was her mention of her book Tactical Biopolitics: Art, Activism, and Technoscience.

Stranger in the Woods
In 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not speak to another human being until three decades later when he was arrested for stealing food.
- Format
- Paperback
- Category
- Non-Fiction
- Publisher
- Simon & Schuster
- Publish Date
- March 2017
Christopher survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store food and water in order to avoid freezing to death in his tent during the harsh Maine winters. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothes, reading material and other provisions, taking only what he needed. In the process, he unwittingly terrified a community unable to solve the mysterious burglaries. Myths abounded amongst the locals eager to find this legendary hermit.
Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life and the challenges he faced returning to the world. The Stranger in the Woods is a riveting story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude and what makes for a good life. Above all, this is a deeply moving portrait of a man determined to live life his own way.

Age: 0
Sex: female
Date: 24 Dec 1908
Place: Mitchell Hall Farm, Thornton
Source: www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk
A newly born female baby was found in a boiler at an old house known as Mitchell Hall Farm in Thornton.
The baby had died from neglect and exposure at birth.
Mitchell Hall Farm had been un-tenanted for that previous four years.
The body was found by a farmer who worked on the land as he was showing his uncle over the house in preparation for negotiations for tenanting it. The body was found in a brown paper parcel in the boiler. The farmer said that he kept hens in the building and was last there five weeks earlier looking for eggs and said that the brown paper parcel was not in the boiler then.
The door of the building was always open, and the windows smashed making it easy for wayfarers to get in.
The medical evidence showed that the child was fully developed and had had a separate existence and had been dead for about 10-14 days.

A few months back I began the second half of my Ten Workflows list for construction. The eight workflow for apps on mobile devices is the generation of a Punch List. The new world of apps allows users to create, distribute and updating a RFI from the project site on a mobile device. The Punch List workflow is generally started in the field by a Superintendent and sent into to the office to be processed by the Project Manger.
The creation, distribution and management of the punch list is one of the most daunting task to complete on construction project. It does not matter if you are the Owners Representative, General Contractor or Architect. The task must be completed in order for the project to be completed and closed out in a timely manner. The trick is to accomplish this task as a fast and organized manner as possible. The question is how can you can apps on mobile device help accomplish this faster and more accurately? There are a few interesting choices in the for apps to create and manage the punch list process for construction projects.
Point Solutions:
- Pre-load all project subcontractors and locations into the web portal for easy access on-site.
- Add notes, view all assigned work in one place and sort to see what's important to you.
- External users are integrated via email.

TORONTO — Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice sounded like someone who'd just yelled a lung out watching five minutes of dazzling overtime between his team and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"No, that was earlier in the game," Maurice said of his frayed voice, following the Jets 4-3 shootout win over the Leafs on Wednesday.
We'll get to what left Maurice hoarse in a moment. But first, the eye candy.
The Jets had blown a 3-2 lead with 14 seconds left in the third period, which you'd think would be a demoralizing turn of events.
It wasn't, because of the mouth-watering prospect of three-on-three play for five minutes.
"Those guys are pretty excited about it," Maurice said. "You've got a point on the road, which is the saw-off. Overtime seems to be fun for our team. They look like they enjoy it."
Most NHL coaches, Maurice included, preach defence-first over and over again. And then overtime comes along and it all goes out the window.
"A free-for-all of fecal matter," is how Maurice described it. "It's a sh– show out there and that's great. I used to drive two-and-a-half hours to Norfolk during one of the lockouts to watch a hockey game and the idea that it would end in a tie after that is sad.
"It's exciting for the fans. It's not so much for the coaches."
A slew of overtime chances both ways saw the Jets misfire on two breakaways, one a two-on-none for Jack Roslovic and Patrik Laine, the other by Mark Scheifele.
Somehow the five-minute exchange of fecal matter didn't produce a winner, but lord knows the teams tried.
It was what the Jets smeared all over the first period that caused the strain on Maurice's vocal chords.
For the start of their second and final meeting of the season, it seemed the two squads were determined to repeat the free-for-all from Winnipeg six days earlier, a ragged 6-3 Leafs win.
"For the good of the game, we shouldn't play at all," Maurice said. "The turnovers in that two-game series might be record-breaking."
Somehow, the Jets came out of that first period up, 2-1, thanks to a pair of glaring gaffes by the home side.
It started with a gift from Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen to Nikolaj Ehlers, Andersen tripping over his blue paint while trying to corral a dump-in, leaving the net open for Ehlers to fire it in from a bad angle.
Late in the first, tied at 1-1, the Leafs got careless on a power play, and paid the price.
Mason Appleton picked the pocket of Toronto captain John Tavares at centre ice, went in chased but alone and beat Andersen through the five-hole for his first of the season.
"You start to question when it's going to come," Appleton said. "But I've scored at every level I've been at, and I'm going to score at this level, too."
It was the Jets' second shorthanded goal in as many games. Suddenly this 31st-ranked P.K. unit is a threat, both ways.
At that point, the Jets were batting .500: two goals on four shots.
Toronto tied it in the second when the Jets gave up a three-on-one, but the Leafs saw that poor defensive bet and raised it one, a four-on-one producing Scheifele's 21st of the year.
A defensive Rembrandt this was not, to start.
"It was like a bigger version of three-on-three," is how Maurice put it. "And both teams seemed really happy in that, but that's not to our strength. After the first period we got closer to our game … then, I liked it."
The win completed a two-game road sweep of Canada's Original Six teams — the Jets won, 3-2, in Montreal on Monday — and improved the team's record to 24-16-4 on the season.
Winnipeg is 7-4 in games that go beyond 60 minutes this season.
It was Toronto's Auston Matthews who forced the overtime with his second of the game in the final minute, giving fans the five-minute thrill ride.
"It was nuts," Appleton said of the OT. "There were so many opportunities at both ends. I couldn't believe the game didn't end."
Someone wondered aloud if a longer overtime period might be a good idea.
"It's a little bit tiring," Blake Wheeler said. "There's a lot of back and forth, so you're skating 200 feet. It's more fun going towards their net than it is going back to yours."
Wheeler got the shootout winner on his patented go-and-stop move, beating Andersen, five-hole.
"Tried to show him a little bit of speed and back him off, and then slow down," Wheeler explained. "Our goalies tell us all the time, it's so hard when you're stopped on the goal line and trying to read what's coming next."
Laine and Scheifele also scored in the shootout.
Matthews and Jason Spezza scored in the shootout for Toronto.
The Jets picked up at least a point for a third straight game on their four-game road trip, goalie Connor Hellebuyck stopping 25 of 28 shots and shutting the door on the high-scoring Leafs in the overtime.
The Jets close out the road trip in Boston on Thursday. Winnipeg is 2-2 in the second of back-to-back games this season.

"Kindness is power: the power to help someone, the power to move someone, the power to inspire someone. When you start being kind to one single person, you never know how far that spark will go."
Namasté Yogis! 🙏🏻
Yesterday we had the honor and pleasure to welcome one of the world's most famous yoga teachers: Bryan Kest's Power Yoga was teaching two amazing classes at ATHAYOGA Zurich !
While the first masterclass was a powerful experience for our mind and bodies, the second class was taking us on a journey into the deeper layers of our own existence and made us feel like being in a completely different world…
Thank you so much everybody who was part of this great practice and a huge THANK YOU to BRYAN for sharing his knowledge, experience, wisdom, kindness but also his funny humor and a lot of laughter with us!

During the month of October, students in the Joseph Melillo Middle School Honors Society collected over 1100 books for New Haven Reads, a community book bank that also tutors New Haven kids in reading skills.

For Honors Society students at Joseph Melillo Middle School (JMMS), the month of October was taken up by a book drive to benefit a New Haven non-profit organization.
New Haven Reads is a community book bank that allows residents to take out books. The organization also offers free one-on-one tutoring to kids.
Every month, the JMMS Honors Society undertakes a new community service project. In September, the students took in pet supplies to support dogs rescued by the East Haven Animal Shelter from North and South Carolina following Hurricane Florence. The group also raised $300 for the food pantry ahead of Thanksgiving.
The students themselves came up with the idea for a book drive, in part based on their own reading experiences.
"As kids are growing up, if they had books from when they were little, they don't use them anymore," said Rocco Lombardi, an 8th grade Honors Society member.
"Giving them away is better than throwing them away," agreed Taya Ragaini, another 8th grader.
Katlynn Seipold, a co-advisor of the Honors Society, previously tutored for New Haven Reads. She said that kids' books, like the books JMMS students have been receiving, are the most-needed category at the book bank.
Though the book drive officially ended in the beginning of November, the club is still receiving books and may continue to do so until Friday, Nov. 30, when the group will personally deliver the books to New Haven Reads.
"They weren't able to come here to pick them up, so we booked a bus and we're going to take the 41 kids there," said Lauren Myers, a JMMS teacher and co-advisor of the Honors Society. "They'll go on a tour, they'll meet the staff, and get a little more educated."
The students collected more than 1,100 texts, with books coming in from students and parents. They advertised the program with posters and in-school announcements.
"It was our third [project] this year, we're already on to another one," Myers said.
The group will move on to raise money for February's upcoming Clothe the Children event with a program called "penny wars." Schoolwide, JMMS students can collect pennies to earn points for their grade and larger coins to subtract points from other grades.
The Honors Society also has plans to continue its community service throughout the school year.
"It's nice to work with that core group of kids that want to be there," Myers said.
In addition to these projects, Honors Society students must maintain High Honors grades. They entered the program on their merit and the recommendations of their teachers.
"They're role models for the rest of the school," Seipold said.

Why Europe?
ALL OF a sudden Europe is 'in'. More people paid attention to the recent
'Euroelections' than ever before. The European summit in Madrid this week
is receiving massive front-page attention. National political parties vie
to look the most pro-Europe. A level of European integration undreamt of
mere months ago, affecting everything from environmental monitoring to central
banks, is now on the cards.
Those are the big signs of the increasing success of the European Community.
The little ones are even more telling. Office space is getting hard to find
in Brussels as regional governments, pressure groups and multinational corporations
all find they need a voice and an ear to the ground in the Community. House
prices are shooting up.
Among the newer offices is one run by the three of Britain's research
councils, the NERC, SERC and AFRC. There, three people monitor how applications
from British scientists for Community money are progressing through the
bureaucracy; and, for a fee, they will arrange meetings between scientists
and project coordinators in the commission to advise on what money is there,
and how best to get it. Britain, for once, is ahead in Europe; the funding
agencies of other member states, which have yet to move in, will be the
ones searching for a decent office.
And search they will. It behoves the scientific establishment to pay
attention to Brussels. There are two reasons for this. One is the usual
quest for funding. The other is more recent: the need for scientists to
be heard by the politicians making choices in science and technology.
First, funding. Brussels is the source, British objections notwithstanding,
of some of the most efficient scientific support in Europe. This is because
the Community does not so much buy test-tubes as see that they are well
used. The Community adds value to basic research money. Its money helps
scientists to coordinate work, share data and often spark off each other.
It finds the gaps and overlaps in European science, and tries to fill and
prune them.
Most of all, the Community overcomes the communications barriers that
plague European science. It arranges meetings, studentships abroad and language-training
– a programme opposed, astonishingly, by Britain, the most language-ignorant
country in Europe. The Community brings industries together for research
and, anathema on the Continent, even arranges joint research between academia
and industry. All these programmes are things scientists should know more
about, and should use more knowledgeably.
Granted, there are some glib presuppositions underlying some European
research which could damage science as much as help it. Europe is not doing
as well as the US and Japan at high technology. Europe is a divided house
of fragmented, small markets and small, mutually uncomprehending academic
and industrial research communities. Put the markets and the creators together
and, the argument goes, presto! Europe catches up.
It ain't necessarily so. Pumping the Community's modest research budget
– a mere Pounds sterling 800 million a year or so – into the unification
and rationalisation of European science will not make Europe the next Japan
overnight. The limiting factor in Europe's high-tech prosperity is not the
creativity of its scientists, together or apart, but the efficiency with
which companies can sell the products they invent.
For instance, this week Europe's biggest scientific collaboration yet
gets under way. It is run by the Eureka programme, not yet by the Community,
but they live in the same street. JESSI aims to bring together Europe's
electronics industry to produce the next generation of silicon chips, that
area of high technology where Europe lags most dismally. It will cost a
lot of money: Pounds sterling 2.7 billion over the next eight years (see
Technology, this issue). It is just the sort of panacea industry likes:
yes, give us money to coordinate our scientists, and then all your industrial
worries will be over.
There was a predecessor to JESSI: the Megaproject, in which two of JESSI's
biggest collaborators, Philips and Siemens, collaborated to develop new
chip-making methods. Philips was meant to build a plant in West Germany
last year to put the project's results into action. It did not, because
of poor profits. That was because the people who buy integrated circuits
in Europe, the defence and communications industries, remain bound to buy
from national companies, and cannot shop around. The single market may solve
that problem. Throwing scientists at it won't.
As long as companies are not allowed to fight it out across Europe,
no amount of technology will result magically in economic prosperity. That
is for economists to mull over; the crucial point for scientists is to ensure
that they are not expected to solve problems that cannot be solved by science
alone, no matter how well organised.
This brings us to the second reason for scientists to take more interest
in Brussels. The European Community increasingly makes the broad technological
choices for all of Europe: put money into this research, promote that kind
of energy, set these limits for emissions, allow that product of biotechnology.
Where are the scientists to tell them that research is not the bottleneck
in this particular area; that this type of energy might increase global
warming; that limiting these emissions will make little difference, better
to invest elsewhere; that the research to establish whether that biotechnology
is safe, contrary to what the companies tell you, has not been done? The
answer is that scientists, speaking purely and simply for science, are thin
on the ground in Brussels. Two things may change this. One is the European
Academy, founded last year. The other is a scientific assembly, which the
Community's science directorate wants to advise it on choices of research.
Now, those Eurocrats hear only a loose assemblage of scientific friends
and not-unbiased industrialists. Scientists would be misused less in the
battle for Europe's prosperity if they were in there speaking for themselves.
The last we heard, this eminently sensible proposal was dead in the water.
We hope it is revived.

Introduction: Easy DIY PLL Light Fitting for Planted Aquarium.
Hello everyone,
I would like to share my idea of 'Easy DIY PLL light fitting for planted aquariums' with all. Enough of those costly ready-made fittings that burn a good hole in our pockets. In this instructable i will showcase my idea of how i made my own PLL light fitting using cheap and easily available materials.
The fitting is working very well for me and is installed since May'14. This project has costed me INR 300/-.
Step 1: Gather All the Materials.
Well, as we all know circle is one of the strongest geometrical shapes. That is why we can see that there many pillars of bridges or flyovers etc made in circular shape.
So for making the frame, I have used Plastic PVC of 20 mm diameter.
List of things needed for this project:
20 mm PVC pipe (Hard plastic) - 3 X Length of the aquarium.
L-joints - 4 nos.
T-joints - 4 nos.
Butter paper / Tracing paper.
Sticky tape
PLL Light along with it's connector and choke wired with the 2 pin male plug.
Metal sheet - Same area as of aquarium's base.
2 self screwing screws.
Aluminium foil.
PC cooling fan 12 V.
12 V AC-DC Adapter.
Step 2: The Plan!
This is how i planned to make the frame.
As I have shown in the above image, there are two views:
The First image is the 'front view' of the aquarium. Here you can see that two L-joints have been used. The gray color is PVC pipe and Black color are joints. Blue color is the water :D.
Here we have two vertical sections and one horizontal section, two L-joints and two T-joints.
In the second image you can see the top view. Here you can see how the T-joints have been used.
Here we can see two bridge sections, four T-joints and four L-joints.
So this is the plan of the 'frame / chassis' that we are going to make to be mounted on top of the aquarium. The step-by-step pictorials is shown in the forthcoming steps.
Take measurements according to your aquarium size.
Following are the measurements I have take for my 24X12X12 inch tank.
- Vertical section : 85 mm.
- Horizontal section : 400 mm.
- Bridge section : 120 mm.
- Joining sections between the L-joint and T-joint : 60 mm.
Step 3: Making of the Frame ( Ref. Front View)
So finally lets starts with the interesting parts of cutting, fitting, setting.
First we are going to make the Frame as seen in the 'Front view' image.
1) Cut the PVC pipe to get vertical section using a hacksaw. Cut a rectangular groove at the bottom of the vertical section; thickness being little more than that of the aquarium glass thickness.
2) Fix an L-joint to the vertical section.
3) Fix the joining section to the L-joint.
4) Fix a T-joint with it's middle part pointing perpendicular to the ground as shown in the third image.
5) Fix the horizontal section to the T-joint. Fix one more set of T-joint, joining section, L-joint and vertical section to the other end of the horizontal section.
You will get an assembly as shown in the sixth image.
6) Repeat 1) to 5) to get one more set of the frame. ( ref picture seventh ).
Step 4: Finishing the Frame ( Ref. Top View)
Cut out two bridge sections using a hacksaw. Fix one of the sections on the first T-joint and the other one to the second T-joint as shown in the first image.
Fix the other ends of both the bridge sections to the T-joints of the second frame such that you get the final assembly as shown in the third image.
Step 5: Making the Fitting for the PLL Light Connector.
Cut out a rectangular metal piece the length of which must be atleast 40 mm greater than the total width of the PVC pipe frame.
Hold the PLL connector and fix it in the middle of the metal strip using a screw and a screw driver.
note: You will have to puncture metal first and then screw.
After getting the connector fixed, slightly cut the metal on both the sides of the connector and bend the metal in the opposite direction. Do it in both top and bottom sides and you will get an assembly as shown in the fourth image.
Now bend the edges in curved fashion towards the connector. Refer fifth image.
Step 6: Fitting the Connector and Butter Paper to the Frame.
Now, cut out a rectangular shape from the sheet of butter paper / tracing paper of the size greater than the width of the frame.
Tape it on the bottom part of the frame using a sticky tape as shown in the first image.
Fix the PLL light to the connector assembly. Using the curved ends of the connector assembly, fit it on to the frame over the paper as shown in the second image.
The PLL light will hang form the other end applying weight on the paper. Hence. Use a thread or a bend wire to tie it to the bridge section of the frame as shown in the fourth image.
Step 7: Final Step : Making the Cover for the Frame.
Cut the metal sheet to be double the width of the frame and length little less than the total length of the frame.
Bend the metal sheet to form a curve. Cover the inner portion with aluminum foil. It's ready!
Carefully place the cover onto the frame. Place the full assembly over the aquarium, Plug in the light to the electricity source and turn the switch ON. There you have your own DIY PLL light fitting for your planted aquarium.
note: Select the wattage of the light according to your plant needs and tank dimensions.
Fix a PC cooling fan such that it blows air over the water surface. Connect it to the AC-DC adapter with positive and negative terminals connected properly.
Thank you for reading my instructable :-).
Happy aquascaping!

Far from being a soft, touchy-feely skill, neuroscience has shown that storytelling is a one of the most powerful tools a leader has. A great storyteller can weave a story that allows her to enter the minds of colleagues and change what they feel, to change what they think, to influence how they act.
And while some people are just born with a natural talent for enthralling an audience, for the rest of us who want to be great leaders in purpose-driven organisations, storytelling is a skill that we need to learn.
Which is why the +Acumen platform is offering NFP leaders the chance to learn storytelling for free! (+Acumen is a world-class online learning platform for learners and doers with a burning desire to change the world.)
Their 8-week course is specially designed for leaders in purpose-driven organisations. You'll leave the course with:
- A leadership presence framework
- Important storytelling tools, and
- A rehearsed presentation that can help you better connect with your audience and inspire change.
What You'll Learn:
- Understand the four dimensions of the "Leadership PRESence" framework and how it can enhance both your storytelling and your leadership skills
- Gain and apply important storytelling techniques, such as expressiveness, use of sensory details, body language, and more
- Understand successful presentation structure and apply the "Audience, Benefit, Goal" framework to improve your presentation
- Practice developing and sharing your personal story
- Learn the five steps for integrating your personal story into a larger presentation
- Share your presentation for feedback and reflect on potential areas for further improvement
Interested? Don't delay – the course starts on 18 February 2020.

Busselton couple Sherry and Barrie Thomas have had only one blackout during 11 years of living with off-grid solar energy.
The pair told the Busselton-Dunsborough Mail that they've not looked back since installing a solar panel system at their remote Lowden property in 2007.
The couple shared their experience at this year's 'Critical Horizons Powering the Future of WA' conference.
They started off back in 2007 with a tiny solar energy system powering their holiday home in South West WA.
However, they now run their main home, bike repair business and eco-friendly holiday accommodation using only power generated by their off-grid solar energy installation.
And according to Sherry Thomas, they've only experienced one blackout. This compares to "blackouts with Western Power numerous times a year".
Off-grid solar easy and reliable in remote areas
When the couple decided to build their main home they also looked at connecting to the grid. However, they were quoted over $80,000 to get connected, Sherry says.
This figure also required the couple to dig the underground trench themselves. The connection would also have to come through bushland protected by a conservation covenant.
Because the quote from Western Power was too expensive, the pair then decided to expand their existing solar energy system.
However, at that time, solar panels had not yet experienced their big drop in price. They paid $50,000 for a system which costs half that amount today. However, Barrie Thomas says they still paid $30,000 less than the grid connection.
The Thomases installed the remote off-grid solar power system before they started building their new home. Power tools could then be used without having to run the diesel generator.
Wide solar energy choice for remote Australian properties
Plenty of options exist for remote householders wanting alternatives to expensive grid connections.
These include a range of solar energy kits which are easy to install with preassembled DC control boards. These stand-alone solar power kits are designed to deliver a specific amount of electricity over 24 hours.
Companies like Energy Matters also have extensive experience in supplying off-grid solar energy solutions to remote properties nationwide.
A range of off-grid rebates and incentives exists to make stand-alone solar installations an affordable option for remote homes and properties.
In addition, battery storage like the Tesla Powerwall can be used with off-grid solar energy systems to ensure 24-hour power supply.

What is a Carbon Footprint?
Walking or riding a bicycle helps reduce the carbon footprint.
Answered by Marty Matlock.
The conversation about human impacts on climate change often leads to discussions of our carbon footprint. All human activities generate carbon emissions; the more prosperous we become, the more greenhouse gasses we tend to emit. The amount of greenhouse gasses we emit on an annual basis is often referred to as our carbon footprint.
We can make decisions at the personal, family and community level that reduce our carbon footprint. In general, the largest contributor to our carbon footprint is energy used, especially electricity in the home and workplace and petrochemicals for transportation. Energy conservation strategies reduce costs and carbon footprints. They make sense at every level. Choosing alternative transportation methods such as walking or riding a bicycle has similar economic benefits, and also helps improve personal health.
Working at the community level to ensure that our energy system includes more renewable energy reduces the carbon footprint of the entire community. Over the past 15 years, the University of Arkansas reduced its carbon footprint 34 percent per square foot of building space, and the overall campus carbon footprint was reduced to less than 1995 levels. And this happened while enrollment nearly doubled!
For more information about carbon footprint and what you can do to reduce it, the Nature Conservancy has a great household calculator to give perspective on what day-to-day activities generate the most greenhouse gas emissions: http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/

Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti are documenting their relationship in a brand new manner.
The "Bachelor in Paradise" couple is releasing the kids's guide "Lucy & Clark: A Story of Pet Love," which is loosely based mostly on their relationship.
"'Lucy and Clark' was impressed by actual life experiences each Ashley and I went by way of," Haibon advised Web page Six on Tuesday. "From overcoming our fears as kids, to us forming our friendship and relationship collectively on and off TV. We hope that youngsters can take a lesson from 'Lucy and Clark' and be a little bit extra brave of their on a regular basis lives."
Haibon and Iaconetti, each 30, received engaged final yr on Season 5 of "Bachelor in Paradise." Iaconetti initially appeared on Season 19 of "The Bachelor" and Haibon competed on Season 11 of "The Bachelorette."
They're planning to marry this August.
"Lucy and Clark" is out there beginning March 26.

Sorry for the lateness in getting the post up, although you should remember that picks posts didn't go up until Tuesday during the regular season, and also I don't owe you guys shit.
Anyway, the wild card round is done and we are down to the Elite Eight. Here are your matchups.
#1 DougExeter v. #4 rubdirtinittakealap
Mr. dirt squeezed by noted summer-vacation-taker FreemanMcNeil in the Wild Card round. Hey, Freeman, I know today was the first day back to school for kids, but you got taken to school yesterday.
Anyway, this matchup features yours truly, who lost only 2 games all season, including 9-8 to rubdirt in Week 15. What the fuck. Prediction: Doug wins 11 to -1.
#2 SponsoredByV8 v. #3 rhythm method
This matchup features the two Idiots that have infuriated me the most this season: SbV8, for driving me insane by not sending picks, and rhythm method, for making me triple-check the damn spelling of his handle.
Method-man knocked off BBAM using his higher-seed tiebreaker in a 9-9 tie in the Wild Card round. The regular season matchup between these two ended in an 8-7 defeat for the good doctor back in Week 8. Prediction: SbV8 doesn't get his picks in.
#1 JacquesLeftFeet v. #6 AnthonyMasonsBarber
The battle of two long-time Deadspin commenters noted for their massive bodies of work; everyone is looking forward to this titanic clash. AMB destroyed local nobody DJJJW in the Wild Card round.
JLF was one of the many perfect scorers in Week 12, beating AMB 10-8 in their regular season tilt. Prediction: neither of these guys are 2015 COTY.
#2 The Amazing Sneijderman v. #5 Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood
I have nothing to say about this. MRN beat Mangini in the Wild Card round after that heartfelt post about MIAB's dog a few weeks ago. What a piece of shit.
These two had a 6-6 tie in Week 11, which is boring. Prediction: eventually, the Sun burns out and dies, ending all of humanity.
Hey, by the way, make your picks on the Google Form here.
