Rapid Replacement
Last summer, an eight-lane bridge on Ottawa's Route 417 was replaced in just 17 hours using SPMT, computer-controlled platform vehicles that move bridge systems weighing up to several thousand tons with fraction-of-an-inch precision. It was a feat that would normally take two years. As a geomatics and surveying crew with design and consulting firm Stantec worked under the gaze of hundreds of onlookers, the question on many minds was, "Will it fit?" That question could not be answered until the final moments of installation.
Last summer, an eight-lane bridge on Ottawa's Route 417 was replaced in just 17 hours using SPMT, computer-controlled platform vehicles that move bridge systems weighing up to several thousand tons with fraction-of-an-inch precision. It was a feat that would normally take two years. As a geomatics and surveying crew with design and consulting firm Stantec worked under the gaze of hundreds of onlookers, the question on many minds was, "Will it fit?" That question could not be answered until the final moments of installation.
The Stantec crew was responsible for traditional survey activities, including as-built surveys for pre- and post-construction, layout surveys for new construction, monitoring reports throughout construction and layout control during bridge replacement. The process--new to any city in Canada and to Stantec's team--put the surveyors' ingenuity--and nerves--to the test.
To tackle the project, Dufferin Construction Company formed a tight alliance with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) and Stantec's geomatics division. Ryan Farrish, Dufferin's project superintendent explains, "We spent an enormous amount of time doing the planning, surveying and engineering for the design and construction of the temporary supports and engineering analysis for both the existing and proposed bridge decks."
From a surveyor's standpoint, the job required extensive and continuous hands-on involvement, above and beyond a traditional assignment. "The contractor was relying on me for every aspect of this project, from initial conception to final placement," says Bill Lawton, Stantec survey crew chief.
Setting the StageRapid replacement technology for bridge replacement is a construction staging technique in which a new structure is built in an enclosed area adjacent to the highway. In the Queensway corridor case, this took place at a park some 165 yards from the bridge site. When the new structure is ready, the existing structure is removed, and the new one is placed in position using heavy lifting technology.
While simple in principle, this deck-on-girder bridge replacement posed a number of challenges for Stantec surveyors: extremely tight vertical and horizontal tolerances; a skewed, diamond-shaped connection to the existing abutments; and a compounded north/south and west/east elevation slope across the decks. The challenge was further fueled by the knowledge that there was no room for error--major adjustments during the actual installation process were out of the question.
Construction of the new bridge sections took place from March to August 2007. During this time, Stantec's role was to monitor construction of the two new four-lane bridges, each 82 feet long and 66 feet wide and weighing approximately 718 tons. The new spans were placed on temporary supports built to the same height as the existing bridge. Additionally, crews surveyed simultaneous rehabilitation of both abutments where more than 128 anchor bolts were placed to secure the bridge girders.
Throughout this pre-installation process, several project aspects challenged the survey crew, including alignment, elevation and configuration.
Survey crews were responsible for transferring dimensions from the existing bridge to the site where the new sections were being constructed. This involved extreme accuracy to within 3/8 of an inch to ensure that the new sections, with eight girders per structure, fit precisely on the rehabilitated bridge abutments.
The bridge alignment has a compounded tilt slightly from north to south, with the south side girders about 2 1/2 feet lower, and west to east, with the east abutment 1 1/4 feet lower. Although versatile, the SPMT can only lift the bridge section an additional 2 feet. Therefore, the removal sequence dictated that the southern deck pass over the north abutment, which required monitored adjustments to the road bed. Further, precise calculation of the newly placed abutment bolts was required to ensure that the bridge did not grind them during the removal process and that the new plates would be correctly positioned to receive the new bridges. Thus, vertical as well as horizontal alignment was crucial.
During construction of the new bridge sections in the staging area, the geomatics team ensured that the new bridge girders would match the varied slope elevation of their predecessors. As the girders were laid out in the field from the midsection outward, minor millimeter adjustments were noted and transferred to the bolt placements so final adjustments could be made prior to grouting.
Compounding the complexity of the assignment was the configuration of the bridge. Instead of crossing the highway perpendicularly as most highways do (which would have meant installing rectangular decks), Highway 417 crosses Island Park Drive at an angle, so the new bridge spans are diamond-shaped.
Lift Night: Lights, Camera, Action!"The key question on lift night was, 'Will it fit?'" Lawton says. "Yes, we had provided numbers to the engineers and the construction team, but everyone was looking at me."
As hundreds of people, including officials from the Ministry of Transportation, interested onlookers, and engineering, construction and survey crews, gathered under the klieg lights on Aug. 10, 2007, the installation activity commenced at 8 p.m. Contract terms dictated that the entire process be completed in 15 hours, which left no opportunity for major adjustments during construction. In fact, if the new bridge was not in place and open for traffic by 5 p.m. (21 hours later), the MTO reserved the right to cancel the operation and place the old bridge back in its original position in order to maintain traffic on this important thoroughfare.
The massive modular transport system rumbled into action. Consisting of a series of flatbed trailers that can be connected end to end to fit the size of a particular project, the two transporters used for the Island Park Bridge measured 138 feet long and had 216 rubber-tired wheels. Despite their size, the transporters were surprisingly maneuverable, with the ability to rotate 360 degrees, reach speeds of up to 3 mph and tilt a load by up to 2 feet for precise positioning. In addition, the SPMTs handle grades up to 3 percent and vertical faces, such as curbs, of 6-8 inches, while keeping its load horizontal.
First, the original bridge structures were removed and placed on temporary falseworks in the staging area. After a final check of the newly visible bolt placements, minor adjustments to the vertical alignment of the bolts were completed using shim plates of varying thickness. Bearing plates were laid, and the top of the plate was checked. Then, each plate was incrementally adjusted vertically to match the underside of the girder shoe plate.
Next, the new bridge sections were retrieved and carried to the overpass. When each new span was in the correct position, the transporter lowered it into place while crews bolted lateral restraining plates to secure the bridge into position.
To the relief of all involved, the new spans were a perfect fit. "This is the first time I've ever been hugged by a construction supervisor," Lawton says.
At 8 a.m. the next morning, the new bridge was securely in place and final paving activities began. By 1 p.m., the first traffic lanes were open for business. The slight delay--from the 15 scheduled hours to the actual 17 hours--was not due to the placement of the bridge, but rather to the extreme heat of the day and its affect on the rollout of the asphalt lift.
On-the-Job InnovationThe experienced survey team used Trimble (www.trimble.com) 5600 equipment for first-order survey work to an accuracy of 3 seconds and a Trimble DiNi Digital Level for accurate vertical measurements. From a surveying standpoint, the over- riding challenge was to ensure that the new bridge components would mesh precisely with the existing rehabilitated bridge abutment while construction of the bridge deck was in progress.
An essential factor in the project's success was development of a machined template to ensure that each of the 128 bolts used to secure the bridge girders was installed in precisely the right spot. The 4-meter-long, 3/8-inch-thick steel plate was custom-designed by Stantec and constructed and verified onsite.
Analogous to an oversized tuning fork, the template allowed the crews to precisely place anchor bolts on the abutment configured to the new alignment. "We had never used a template like this before, but it worked very well," Lawton says. "Access was a challenge. Some of the bolts we were placing were only eight inches off the rear wall."
For the crew involved, it was a stressful but exhilarating experience. A conventional bridge replacement for a similar project would have taken up to two years with significant impact on traffic, Lawton explained. "But at the end of a traditional project you will have a bridge. With this process, if a serious mistake happens, you may end up with 718 tons of junk."
Now with the first project under their belt, the survey crew members look forward to working on future rapid replacement technology assignments. And they may soon have their chance. At a total cost of $8.6 million, this construction technique is estimated to have saved the MTO more than $2.4 million over traditional techniques while avoiding the extensive disruptions to traffic flow. The ministry recently issued a contract for a second rapid bridge replacement project; Stantec has begun the survey work for the scheduled replacement in early August 2008.
"This sort of technology is not suitable for every bridge replacement," says Dufferin's Farrish. "You need a staging area close by. You have to be very concerned about overhead wires, the condition of the bridge and all the safety implications of carrying out a project of this magnitude. There is no room for error.
"But if the conditions are right, the benefits are significant. In fact, it's surprising that it took so long to do this first project. It came down to having the courage to try it, and for that you have to give MTO credit. Now it's up to other jurisdictions to see if it is applicable for their situations, too."
Note:Many U.S. states are now adopting Accelerated Construction Technology, or rapid replacement technology, for transportation projects, including those involving Self-propelled Modular Transports. The Graves Avenue Bridge project in Florida was the first use of SPMT on an interstate highway in the United States. This project involved the widening of Interstate 4 from four to six lanes. More information on rapid replacement technology can be found on the Federal Highway Admini-stration Web site at www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/accelerated.

Location: Mountain Point, Virgin Gorda
Today everyone woke up tired from last night's BBQ. After breakfast, we went Zesting. Today we and my partner finally looked like we knew what we were doing. We also tried windsurfing (which is harder than it looks). After that, we went to a mangrove to snorkel. Shaun found a sea cucumber. It's legend that if you kiss a sea cucumber you will have good luck for 7 years. Almost all of us kissed the sea cucumber. We also talked about plastic taking over our oceans. I think that talk all affected our thinking about how we use plastic. Mike the director came over for dinner. We all loved getting to know him. He also helped us grow closer as a crew. Overall a fun day at ActionQuest!

My miniature quilt group brought in their Valentine minis this week. We didn't meet in February because I was sick, and so we had to do the February project in March. Apparently it was quite a challenging project since only 4 people finished piecing the top! We had 2 quilters make the "large" size (15" square) and 2 tackled the mini size (7.5" square). You can read about the beginning of this quilt idea here.
This class we worked on piecing strips and cutting 60 degree triangles. I will write more about that another day.
And on the right is a photo of the goodies I put in a package to send to Grace, who won the draw celebrating my 200th post!

Boys night out! Wooo! Party! Joe and I took our first father/son camping trip leaving Amy and Ella at home for a little chick-flick-watching, slumber-partying, whatever-it-is-that-girls-do-when-they-hang-out-ing. We were joined by Chris and Susan with Michael and Katie as well.
I wasn't expecting much from my last-minute accommodations booked Friday night at the Moraine Park Campground in RMNP…
but it turned out to be quite fantastic! Our site (one of three still available at that late hour) was spacious and had a nice view of Longs Peak. Around dinner time, a bachelor group of four mule deer wandered through camp completely unconcerned.
Camping of this sort is weird to me. The main objective isn't to hike somewhere, climb something, or whatever. It's to hang out in the outdoors and be boys. Joe and Michael entertained themselves climbing on rocks and digging in the dirt. We cruised the campground on our bikes. The nearby hillside was explored extensively. Nothing was accomplished except that everyone got good and filthy. And that's good enough!

Movie Reviews
A Disappointing Thriller Channels Hitchcock And Bram 'Stoker'
The South Korean director Park Chan-wook became famous among violent film aficionados for what's known as his vengeance trilogy, beginning in 2002 with "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" followed by "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengeance." He makes his English language debut with "Stoker," the story of an 18-year-old girl coping with the death of her father and the sudden arrival of an uncle she never knew. Film critic David Edelstein has this review.
DAVID EDELSTEIN, BYLINE: "Stoker" has a ripely decadent, creepy-crawly feel that would have gotten under my skin if the tone weren't so arch and the people so ghoulishly remote. It's like a bad Strindberg play with added splatter. But director Park Chan-wook certainly works to make you uncomfortable.
Take the early shot in which the teenage girl protagonist, India Stoker, played by Mia Wasikowska, sits in a meadow and muses in voiceover on the subject of free will versus destiny. She says: Just as a flower doesn't choose its color, so we don't choose what we are going to be - while draining a blister, in close-up. Which you don't often see, at least onscreen. Park clearly likes the symbolism. He's saying India has poisons that must be discharged.
Wentworth Miller's script has a good, tricky premise, a clear play on the Alfred Hitchcock-Thornton Wilder thriller "Shadow of a Doubt." In that one, a psycho impersonates a girl's never-before-seen Uncle Charlie and nearly finishes the breathless ingenue off. In "Stoker," the unnerving visitor, played by Matthew Goode, really is her Uncle Charlie. And he and his niece have deeper ties than are first apparent.
Uncle Charlie arrives on the day of her beloved father's funeral. He was killed in a mysterious car accident on India's 18th birthday and promptly he makes eyes at both the girl and her brittle mother, Evie, played by Nicole Kidman. And he has some big eyes to make.
He's like Dwight Frye's bug-eating mental patient in the original "Dracula." I don't think he blinks in the movie. A long, fairly tedious stretch features Charlie and Evie whispering and wandering off while India stares balefully, the atmosphere pregnant with suppressed violence and eroticism. Then Charlie sits opposite India and passes her a goblet of red wine, from which she drinks.
MIA WASIKOWSKA: (as India) What do you want from me?
MATTHEW GOODE: (as Uncle Charlie) To be friends.
WASIKOWSKA: (as India) We don't need to be friends. We're family.
EDELSTEIN: Family is a loaded term in "Stoker." Just what does Charlie see in India? And why do people like the longtime servant and a visiting aunt played by Jacki Weaver keep disappearing? You can see the ending limping toward you from a mile away, like a particularly slow zombie.
Director Park Chan-wook made a big noise at film festivals over the last decade with "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance," "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" and "Oldboy," but they weren't mainstream hits; they were too cruel.
For Park, vengeance is, as you can imagine, fraught with peril, the drive for retribution turning even good people inside-out, so by the time the revenge comes it's too ghastly to be satisfying. I used to think he was getting at something serious, but in retrospect wonder if he wasn't just bludgeoning us into submission. The vile little chamber horror "Stoker" certainly has nothing on its mind.
That said, there always seems like something's going on in Mia Wasikowska's mind. Her eyes usher you into India's inner world, with its battle between girlish longing and the impatience to move on and be what she really is, whatever that might be.
It's a richer performance than the movie deserves. As her mother, Nicole Kidman doesn't rise above the material in the same way; her face is too tight a mask. Matthew Goode has a more interesting mask, so squarely on the border between angelic and satanic he makes you remember that Satan was an angel. But it's a long time to stare at a guy with only one expression.
We wait around for the inevitable violence, listening to faux classical piano duets provided by Philip Glass and wallowing in the movie's malignant elegance. "Stoker" has nothing to do with the author of "Dracula," Bram, but the name is meant to evoke him. And the undead would be the movie's best audience.

FARMINGDALE, NY (05-15-08): EtQ has introduced clustering as a technology option for EtQ Reliance Quality Management system, designed to provide enhanced performance and high-availability within the EtQ application environment.
Clustering is the is the ability to interconnect multiple servers and application environments, either to enhance performance or to serve as redundancies in the event of a single or multiple system failure. Typically, clustering is used to combine multiple computers to work closely together to act as a single computer, either to improve the overall computing power, or as a redundancy for any system failures. EtQ provides clustering environments for both of these purposes.
Performance Clustering with EtQ enables multiple computers to effectively balance the computing load across multiple application environments. Using clustering enables a large organization with many users to optimize the performance capabilities of EtQ Reliance, especially when many thousands of tasks are executed per second.
High-Availability Clustering with EtQ provides redundant, real-time instances of the EtQ Reliance environment to act as a fail-over in the event of a system crash or unforeseeable system failures. This type of clustering is most beneficial for customers handling critical and/or time-sensitive data; it also provides a seamless method to continue using EtQ Reliance, even if one or more servers fail.
"We at EtQ are always looking to provide as many options as possible with respect to technology," says Morgan Palmer, Chief Technology Officer at EtQ. "Not only is EtQ Reliance robust enough to handle multiple tasks, and is benchmarked to the highest degree, we want to provide our customers with the technology to do more, if they choose." Morgan goes on to say that EtQ is constantly researching leading edge technologies, and looking for new ways to incorporate relevant features into the product. "Innovation is one of the key drivers for EtQ, and we are always looking to push the envelope further and further with the technology."

Ski cross is just as exciting as its snowboarding counterpart. It combines the time aspect of the Alpine events but adds in the jumps and multiple competitors per heat aspect. Crashes are expected as with snowboarding.
Ski cross takes place all in one night, so it's a busy night of competition for the athletes. They first start with qualifying training runs which set the seeds for quarterfinals. Then, the top two from each heat advance to the semifinals. Finally, the top four advance to the final.
Jean Frederic Chapuis can become the first multiple medal winner in men's ski cross if he were to medal in PyeongChang. He won gold in Sochi, and led a sweep by France. Arnaud Bovolenta and Jonathan Midol took silver and bronze, respectively.
After the event, some questioned the suits that the French were wearing and whether they were too aerodynamic. Now, there is an official rule for how tight a uniform can be.
Chapuis has been dominant since Sochi. He claimed 24 podium finishes in men's ski cross at the X Games, world championships, AFP World Tour event and World Cup events in the four years. However, he had a disappointing finish at the 2017 world championships, coming in 25th overall.
Teammate Bovolenta is also a strong medal contender. If he or Chapuis were to medal, they would join Edgar Grospiron and Marie Martinod as the only French athletes to win two medals in freestyle skiing.
World champion Victor Oehling Norberg can become the first Swedeish man to win an Olympic medal in freestyle skiing. If he were to win the event, he would be the first Swede, male or female, to win a gold medal in freestyle skiing.
Filip Flisar, known for his mustache, was the 2015 world champion in 2015. If he were to medal he would be the first Slovenian to get an Olympic medal in freestyle skiing at the Winter Games.
There are no Americans competing in the event. You can stream the the event LIVE starting at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Fw Blanket Chest
Here's an addition. As an additional source of income, I write. Mostly for magazines but right now I'm working with Scott Gibson on a book about blanket chests. Tune in mid-March, 2011.
This piece ended up on the cover of Fine Woodworking, issue 203, along with a how-to article. It was inspired by a photo of a 17th century English chest added to my remembrance of an old pine tool chest that was around in my folks' house when I was a kid.
The lid, panels and sliding, dovetailed tray are ash; the frames are shagbark hickory. I spliced an eye into each end of the lid stay.
The main photo shows a recently completed commission that grew out of the article. There are a few minor design changes to the battens and lid. For this one I used flatsawn cherry for the frames and quartered cherry for the panels.

Conservatism, a quality that has come to be much respected after the world saw its worst-ever economic slowdown, is a trait that is in the DNA of Tamil Nadu Inc. The state, which ranks among the top five in India in terms of national income, has often faced criticism for its risk-averse approach. But, in the new world order, conservatism is getting painted by a brush that sees it as being mindful, diligent, accountable and trustworthy.
No surprise then that VCCircle kicked off its Investment Forum in Chennai understanding Tamil Nadu Inc's conservative streak and ways to work around it and benefit from it. The forum, which has brought together investors and seekers of funds and ecosystem players under one roof for a day-long conference, will focus on Tamil Nadu's deal quotient; first generation entrepreneurs and private equity; key issues in deal-making; family business concerns and attractive sectors to invest in.
Is Chennai's conservatism coming in the way? Will the deals here be led by family businesses or new economy sectors? What does it take to get companies in Tamil Nadu across the negotiating table. VCCircle's handpicked panel--comprising Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman & MD, TVS Capital Funds (Chair); Raja Kumar, Founder & CEO, UTI Ventures; C K Ranganathan, Chairman, Cavinkare Ltd; N Kumar, Vice Chairman, Sanmar Group; and C. Venkat Subramanyam, Founder & Director, Veda Corporate Advisors—tried to unravel investing, the Tamil Nadu way.
At 12% of PE deals originating in Tamil Nadu, are entrepreneurs too cautious or are PEs not active enough, Mr Srinivasan said, setting the ball rolling. N Kumar shared thoughts on the mindset of family businesses saying, they are in it for the long-term, very conscious of their reputation and tend to take guarded risks. Elaborating further, he said, "NPAs are lowest in south. Every penny we buy or borrow, we give full returns to that." From the PE side, Raja Kumar said, "we have been investing in TN for last 10 years and we have successfully invested, scaled and exited." Conservatism is a good value to have, he added. First generation entrepreneur C K Ranganathan, who started off humbly to build a Rs 700-crore business, says, trustworthiness in business is very high in the state. Representing the advisory firm community, Venkat of Veda said, taking a parallel from cricket, if you want to find Yuvraaj Singh or Virendra Sehwag, go to Andhra, for Laxman or Dravid, come to Chennai. "Everytime there is a market correction, there is a rush to Chennai," he observes.
Now, the slowdown in PE/VC transactions in the country since early 2008 has also affected the deal in Tamil Nadu. The volume of transactions in the state since January this year has come down to 18 after hitting an annual high of 43 in whole of 2008. On the one hand, it shows capital flow from PE/VC firms has been tight, it also brings hope as the higher number of deals in 2008 could be a sign that companies are opening up to the idea of attracting PE/VC funds as an alternate source of funds besides banks who have turned cautious on lending.
It is time to unravel Tamil Nadu. Watch this space for the total event proceedings report.

Last Saturday, Victoria from In The Frow hosted an event with Clarins to mark their latest collaboration. I find Victoria the most inspiring creator and have followed her for years, so it was such an honour to be able to celebrate with her. The event also showcased the Clarins new summer 2019 makeup range which launched on Sunday.
Upon arrival at Debenhams, Oxford Street, we were welcomed with chocolate covered fruit and frozen strawberry mojitos. Although I'd expected the Clarins team there to introduce us to the new range, they also helped us play around with it. Lou from Love Hair by Lou was also on hand to create summer ready hair and kindly freshened up my waves. The event was reasonably intimate so there was plenty of time for Victoria to chat to everyone and to discuss the collaboration. As one of my single biggest content inspirations, finally meeting Victoria and reaffirming how genuine she is in person was certainly an experience.
The Clarins x Inthefrow summer tote bag is available as a gift, alongside three travel sized products, to anyone who purchases two Clarins products (one to be skincare). There is a choice of ten different travel products and most of them are generously sized. I opted for the Exfoliating Body Scrub, Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate and Multi-Active Day Cream.
The Clarins bronzers are amazing for achieving that effortless sun-kissed look. They've launched two new compacts (see below), both boasting gorgeous and practical packaging. My favourite features a blush, the highlight of which provides a beautiful 'your skin but better' glow.
Another product perfect for the glow-getter. This primer can be used to provide a glow underneath makeup or even on its own for a natural look. It's a tinted product which subtlety blurs out smaller blemishes and evens the skin tone.
Clarins have launched three new water lip stains as part of their summer '19 collection. Although I haven't fallen immediately in love with any of them, I am very impressed by the formula. Lightweight on the lips and incredibly long lasting, these are perfect for stay put holiday looks.
Unfortunately I didn't get a great look at either of these. The liner comes in a turquoise shade which I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to experiment with.
I've not experimented much with Clarins makeup but some of their skincare are favourites of mine. Unfortunately, the event was held a day before the launch of the summer 2019 products. Although it was lovely to preview them, we were unable to purchase any of the products on the day.
Purchase-wise, my skincare pick was the PORE-LESS Blur and Matte Stick, which I've not used enough to form an opinion of, but which smells incredible. I also picked up the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfecter in shade 06 on the recommendation of Victoria herself. These two products alone qualified me for the In The Frow gift, but I also picked up one of their powder brushes. Quality makeup brushes are such a great investment and Debenhams were offering 10% off of beauty purchases so it was definitely a good time to take advantage.
After following In The Frow for a number of years now, meeting the woman behind it all in real life was almost surreal. I'd like to thank both Victoria and the Clarins team for hosting such a wonderful and well thought out event. I'm already looking forward to the next one!
I'd love to know if any of the new products appeal to you, the bronzer palette is definitely on my wish-list.

A consistent concern we hear from clients is the length of time CQC takes to produce inspection reports following inspection. This is particularly for hospitals. It can take months following an inspection for the draft report to even reach the provider, let alone be in final form for publication to the public.
In its annual report published in July 2017, CQC recognised that improvement was needed in ensuring that reports are published more quickly so that the public and the provider understand what the concerns are. After all, sometimes there can be a few issues lurking within the report that were never raised as issues during the inspection which comes as quite a surprise to a conscientious provider who wants to put things right immediately if something is found to be wrong. Shorter and more concise reports are part of CQC's new strategy moving forward.
This month the Committee of Public Accounts in its report on how CQC is undertaking its regulatory duties, has also highlighted this as a problem specifically for hospitals – its states that there is too much of a delay in the public having information about the quality of care in a hospital. The Committee has recommended that CQC "should make sure findings from hospital inspections are available to the public as soon as possible". CQC must update the Government in April 2019 reporting on whether performance has improved. CQC's strategy moving forward will be to have shorter inspections and shorter reports which should make turnaround quicker.
The Commission should make sure findings from hospital inspections are available to the public as soon as possible. It should write to us in April 2019 with an update on its performance. This should include whether it has achieved the commitment it made on publishing at least 50% of hospital reports within its timeliness target by 2018–19 and how it has balanced this with maintaining the quality of reports.

Dear Friends of Central,
This last month has been an exciting, somewhat hot then somewhat wet, whirlwind of a month.
There are days when it feels like Day 10,000 and others that feel like Day 2. Fortunately, when it is the latter, leadership and partners have shown me the way. For that I am grateful.
We have had celebrations, back-to-school programming and built new partnerships.
As many of you know, August 29 was the Columbus Foundation's Big Table Event. Central didn't just host one table, but five! Much of the conversation focused on what is working and what should be replicated. For instance, youth and senior groups demonstrate how the power of community can help one overcome adversity, silos are coming together, organizations are partnering, and the neighborhood feels safer than ever before. There were, though, areas of angst, and in particular:
- Families experience barriers navigating support systems at Columbus Public Schools. In discussing instances of youth suspensions, participants asked how we can treat the behavioral symptoms of trauma and poverty the way we treat food insecurity with school meals, or academic challenges with afterschool homework support? During this discussion, I couldn't help but think about the organic therapy of the arts in all its forms we see every day here. What if we had a licensed art therapist at Central? Would it transform and empower and address challenges in an asset-focused way?
- Families are feeling the tensions associated with development, and seek to understand how the investment in moderate-high income housing and infrastructure will balance with investment in the low-to-moderate income community. We are doing our part to develop programs and seek funding to combat some of these pressures. We hope to have positive news in the months ahead.
- At Transit Arts, when discussing support young people need to meet their potential, themes emerged around equal access to resources like mentors and transportation.
Addressing some of the challenges discussed at our Big Table meetings, I also had the pleasure of joining a group working to solve critical challenges faced by black girls in our community. This group was genuine and smart. Thank you, Columbus City Councilmember Priscilla Tyson, for leading a groundbreaking effort in the form of a Commission on Black Girls. Congratulations to a long-time partner of Central, Fran Frazier of the Rise Sister Rise research-based initiative, who has been appointed as co-chair of the Commission. We will not sit on the sidelines, but promise to support this work actively to build our future leaders.
While heat and rain tried us this month, we persevered and enjoyed doing so. We opened up early when Columbus City Schools dismissed early due to excessive heat. And, while it did rain on our Children's Parade, it did not rain on our fun. Crafts, face painting, music, food, and a traveling library filled the halls of our Main Street building. And following this, Transit Arts "hit it out of the park" with their performance at the Hot Times Festival, under a nice big tent!
The day was a special one. We came together and celebrated what matters most – our children, our community, our health and happiness, and our time together. We are grateful to all the volunteers and staff who made it possible. Thanks to the Puffin Foundation for sponsoring the event.
Finally, this month the Mayor of Bexley, Ben Kessler, visited Central's Main Street and English Center locations. He came with openness and a listening ear. He learned from clients about their journey and resilience, and from staff about their commitment to ensuring clients have access to the best services regardless of their socioeconomic status. He offered his partnership. Demonstrating his appreciation and commitment, he has also come back with his family to participate in Transit Arts programming. We are looking forward working together in the years ahead.
While this is only a snippet of the magic going on here, we hope it gives you a feel for our direction and commitment to you and our community.
To keep up with our goings on, if you haven't yet:
And, if you know a dynamic individual who matches our open AmeriCorps VISTA position, send them our way!
Until next month…

The half human dragon stood in Shang Tsung's protector in the first tournament.
Goro took the Mortal Kombat from the original Kung Lao, only to have it won from him nine generations
later by Lao's ancestor, Liu Kang.
Seeking revenge, the Shokan prince has returned from the Outworld to crush Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.
Real Name
Prince Goro
8′ 2″
550 lbs.
Goro in Mortal Kombat 1
A member of the four-armed Shokan race, Goro became Grand Champion of the Mortal Kombat tournament after defeating the Great Kung Lao. For 500 years, he remained undefeated and helped Shang Tsung grow ever closer to achieving Shao Kahn's goal of domination over Earthrealm. In his tenth title defense, however, he faced Liu Kang. Kang pushed him to his limits and finally defeated the mighty Shokan warrior. In the tournament's aftermath he went missing after a battle where he fought Kano, Johnny Cage andSonya Blade. He was believed to be dead. It is thought that he retreated back to his kingdom ashamed of his defeat, while Shang Tsung faced execution for his defeat at the hands of Liu Kang and for Goro's apparent death.

Ex Green party leader blackmailing Fonterra
What is it with these so-called Green virtue signalling bastards who think that blackmail and blockades are valid methods for discussing changes to private businesses.
A protest to stop Fonterra from burning coal in its factories is underway in South Canterbury.
Five people, including former Green Party leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, have chained themselves to the gate of the Clandeboye Dairy Factory.
She said Fonterra is the second biggest user of coal in the country, and they have been trying for some time to get the company to switch to wood chips. ? Read more »
As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. When he's not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.
They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet. Cam Slater doesn't do quiet and, as a result, he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist who takes no prisoners.

text: Ed Bailey - September 23, 2010 Overcoming Gunshyness in Gun Dogs The key is taking it slowly. By Ed Bailey Problem I am a 17-year-old-boy, and I have a five-year-old English setter. I bought/rescued her from a guy who was moving out of the country. He got her as a puppy and left her down in the basement with a 10-year-old Brittany. He let both of them out into a fenced area for the day and kept them in the basement at night. He was hoping that the older dog would train the younger one.This setter was rescued as a one-year-old by Dr. Bailey's 17-year-old correspondent. She is now a crackerjack bird finder but suffers from gunshyness. Dr. Bailey recommends a slow desensitizing process to get her over her fear.He and his wife had a set of twins, so the puppy did not get any human interaction. I bought her at a year old. She had the potential and the genetics to be a great bird dog, and she is now an awesome dog in the field and around the house. But because of not being interacted with as a puppy, she is very shy around people she doesn't know. She is fine around family and friends, but with strangers she barks and acts like she will rip a limb off, yet if they get close she will run away. I have done all I can, but now I think I need some suggestions on how to proceed. She has been worked on quail, pheasants, some grouse and woodcock. She points great and hard, and when I say "get them" she flushes them out. I like that about her. But this is the real problem: she is gunshy.When I shoot, she runs to my dad for security. She is fine when I shoot a .22 pellet gun or when I shoot a .22 short, and when I shoot a .22 long, she is mostly fine but sometimes shakes. When she hears gunshots, she looks to me for reassurance. I've read some ways for introducing a dog to the gun, but I don't think those ways would work with her. Should I continue working with her, or should I just get a new pup and start fresh? She is also a housedog and has never been kenneled, so it is not realistic to send her to a professional trainer because she couldn't stay in a kennel. Thanks for your help and input; I have attached a picture of her.Solution You sound like a pretty mature 17-year-old to me. You took on quite a responsibility rescuing your dog, and you are facing up to the responsibility. That's impressive.Thanks for sending her picture. She is a great-looking dog. You have already done a lot getting her over her shyness of people, and you are well started in getting her desensitized to gunshot noise. I am certain you will be able to get her over her noise sensitivity.It will take a lot of patience and might take quite a bit of time. It won't be the easiest thing you've ever done, but I am confident that you can do it. She looks like too nice a dog to ever give up on. She is already okay with .22 shorts, so start her off with .22 longs or long rifles. First, you will need a helper to do the shooting. Take your dog out in a large field area for a run. Set up your helper at one edge of the field out of sight of the dog but so he can see your signal for when to shoot.When your dog is running and enjoying herself about 300-400 hundred yards from the helper, signal by lifting and then dropping your arm for him to shoot one shot only. The intensity of the sound of the shot that reaches the dog should not be louder than a .22 short. Watch her closely for signs of fearfulness, like dropping her tail, putting her ears back or dropping them down, or ducking her head. These can be subtle, so you will need to watch carefully. If you see none of these signs, praise your dog and continue letting her run and enjoy herself. If you see she is reacting fearfully, stop the shooting for a while; half an hour should do it. Then try again, but much farther away.If there is no fearful response, work her in about 25 yards closer to your helper and signal for another shot. Again, watch closely for indications of fearfulness. If there are none, again praise her and continue the run for a few more minutes, then call it a day. Next day, or next time out (don't wait too long between outings), start with the last distance where she didn't respond. Do the same as before, then after a few minutes get closer by about 50 yards. If she is showing no fear, get about 30 yards closer. Test her and then quit for that day.The next day, start again at the last distance where she didn't respond, then go two more times, 20 to 25 steps closer. If she is still OK with this, then you might try a shot only 30 to 50 yards from your helper.She will not respond the same each day, so you will have to play it by ear for how many times a day and the distance you close in. Some days it will be four, some only two, some days more. Sometimes you will be able to make 50-yard jumps and sometimes only 10. You will have to learn what speed she is comfortable with on any given day by reading her responses to the shots. If ever along the way she shows some fearfulness, don't panic; simply let her run a while without a shot noise so she forgets about it, then back up a few steps, have a shot fired and quit for the day. Next day, back up several steps and then come at it again more carefully, with shorter decreases in distances. For example, instead of decreasing the distance by 10 yards, decrease it by only five so the change is more gradual. The changes in noise intensity have to be gradual enough so she doesn't notice any change. Continue doing this procedure until your helper is walking closely beside you when he shoots. Then go to a louder shot noise like, say, a starter pistol that uses shot shell primers. Repeat the whole thing starting back at a few hundred yards and working gradually closer, as you did before.Later, when you get to still-louder guns like a .410, you can plant a bird. Pigeons work well because they fly better than pen-raised quail. Have your dog flush on command as you have been doing and let her be chasing the bird when you shoot.Keep working up in loudness very carefully and gradually. Be careful not to go too fast, taking at least six or eight weeks to go from the .22 to the 12 gauge. This procedure is called desensitizing to noise (gunshot in this case).Do not try any "flooding" techniques like taking her to a trap range and tying her down just behind the line with 30 or 40 people shooting in a day. This "flooding" is almost always a catastrophe, making the dog a basket case and more fearful than it was before.In desensitizing a dog to loud noise, you cannot go too slow, but you certainly can go too fast, and that will set you right back to starting over again. Good luck and if you have any questions or run into any problems, e-mail me right away. And please keep me posted on her progress.For solutions to your dog's behavioral problem or behavior-related training problem, you can contact Ed Bailey at firstname.lastname@example.com.

3 New Rules That Businesses Need To Abide By
When you start a business, the rules are thrown out the window. You are more afraid of sinking that you swim – like crazy. We all go into new businesses with the right attitude, but seldom does that belief stay in tack throughout the entire process.

8 Things Successful Entrepreneurs Do Well
One of the first things we think we realise about successful entrepreneurs is their toys; the big house, the fast car and their luxurious holidays - that everyone else just dreams about.
But this isn't exactly the case. In fact, the most successful people I know are not in fact flashy or anything alike. They still live in the house they bought when they first started out, don't update their cars yearly, and often have a holiday house or choose experience holidays over the swanky likes of St Barts and St Tropez.

Have you ever used a gate at the entrance to your child's room? We just switched N from a crib to a toddler bed (waited until he actually asked to be moved), but now I'm a bit concerned with all this new-found freedom he has, and I'm afraid he might want to roam around the house instead of going down for a nap or bedtime. Do you use a gate at the room door, or do you think it's like caging them in?

Nov. 29 2018 — Both the transportation and power industry have been facing significant changes, driven by a combination of policy and technological factors, and S&P Global Platts Analytics sees lithium-ion batteries playing an instrumental role in these transformations.
When it comes to batteries, there have been and will continue to be synergies of power storage and transport sector battery technology. In the power sector, large deployments of wind and solar photovoltaics will increase the need for storage to manage their intermittency. Recently, the US has seen several RFPs in which developers have bid projects combining solar PV assets and lithium-ion batteries – a trend discussed recently in S&P Global Platts Analytics' U.S. Power Storage Outlook.
Because of the often-siloed nature of the energy sector, there is a need for some perspective regarding the relative size and importance of the sectors. The fact is that energy sector applications of batteries are and will continue to be dominated by uptake in the transport sector.
