The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) held a conference in the Central province of Thua Thien-Hue on October 24 to gather ideas for the national program on "One Commune, One Product" (OCOP). MARD Deputy Minister Tran Thanh Nam said that OCOP wil help more than six million farmer households. He stressed the need for strong communication to raise public awareness in preserving and promoting the value of traditional products.
Under the new-style rural area building program, in 2020, 80 percent of communes are expected to meet criteria in locals' income and 85 percent in production organization. To reach the targets, the MARD has restructured the agricultural sector towards stronger value chains and linked production and sales, initially focusing on national products, and strong products at provincial level and district-commune levels. The ministry has also enhanced the application of science and technology, especially in agro-forestry and fisheries production.
OCOP has been designed to suit specific
communes, concentrating on different products for each
locality. Participants at the conference agreed that the program should be
comprehensive in all aspects of economy, culture and society, with community
engagement. The promotion of chosen products will help increase their
production and sales, thus creating more jobs and improving incomes, while
speeding up reinvestment to increase competitiveness of the products, they
A national survey showed that 4,736 products
of 63 provinces and cities nationwide have high potential for the OCOP program.

The Miss Universe 2017 is underway and soon a new queen will be crown from Las Vegas, Nevada in the 66th edition of the most important pageant contest in the world.
The showcase of culture in dress form at the national costume competition has no bearing on the preliminary scores, but it offers a glimpse into a contestant's heritage and identity and can propel a candidate's prospects.
In the swimwear section, the contestants wore Yamamay designs in either black or white in two pieces.
The evening gown segment is when the audience know who among the 92 candidates have the strongest stage presence, and therefore have the best chances to advance to the final rounds on November 26.
The national costume competition was already held on November 20 while the swimsuit and evening gown portions happened later on in Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The event is on TV on Fox Channel.
Just like last year's edition, the preliminary interviews were conducted before the preliminary swimsuit and evening gown competitions. So, don't be surprise to see some shock eliminations and inclusions in the semifinals.
Having the preliminary interviews first means the preliminary judges can get to know the candidates.This can highly influence judges perception of the candidates when they appear in the the succeeding events, such as the swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
Bellable Prediction List:
- Kara McCullough, USA
- Laura Gonzalez, Colombia
- Keysi Sayago, Venezuela
- Rachel Peters, Philippines
- Maria Poonlertlarp,Thailand
- Bunga Jelitha Ibrani, Indonesia
- Dennise Franco, Mexico
- Prissila Howard, Peru
- Monalysa Alcantara, Brazil

As a product of the 80s, I have grown up in a world where if I want to know something, it's never too hard to find the answer. We've all seen an increase in the give-it-to-me-now attitude and with responsibilities and information springing up all around us, none of us have time to twiddle our thumbs any more.
Information has to be easy to find. It has to be concise, while being comprehensive enough to be of use.
As content creators, there is a lot that you can do to make your information more accessible to your internet audience. As you go through these tips, you'll see how they'll likely apply to how you hunt for information online.
General writing tips
is the key to staying relevant, interesting and fresh online. In order to be creative, you need to spew all your thoughts down without subjecting them to editing. Write your entire article without stopping. Then go back and edit it afterwards.
Start in the Middle
Write the main part of your post first. Your post may not take the form that you initially thought, so you want to leave the introduction and conclusion until the main part of your post is set. This way your introduction grabs your readers' attention and the post actually matches your introduction.
Do it Everywhere!
As creative beings, we come up with ideas in the strangest of places. When you get an idea, write it down there and then. If you don't, you'll forget it and miss out on a potentially awesome post.
Most of us have smartphones now. You may even be using one of the official WordPress apps. If not, you probably have access to a pen and paper. Or a napkin. Or papyrus.
The title
10 Steps to Super Awesome, Attention-Grabbing Post Titles
Okay, so I don't have 10 steps, but there's a few good ways of crafting a winning title:
- Put a number in there. I don't know why, but people prefer '5 tips to success' over 'Tips to success'.
- Use exaggerative adjectives. '10 killer tips' beats '10 fairly good tips'.
- Capitalize everything but your stop words. Stop words are words like and, as, for, to me etc. e.g. '10 Killer Tips to Improve your Writing'.
Check your Keywords
This isn't an SEO tutorial, but you need to consider who you're aiming for with the post and have the right words in your title to make sure that both human and search engines find you.
Writing style
Don't be cocky to the point of being arrogant, but have confidence in yourself. Know that you write great content and have confidence in your opinion and knowledge. This applies to when you're promoting your content too!
Humor and the Personal Touch
Don't be afraid to have a laugh. You're not writing a textbook – you're writing short articles and your personal touch will help set your writing style apart as something that is fun and enjoyable to read.
Wandering Eyes
Us internet people are great at scanning and finding important information. However, you can help out your readers by highlighting the most important parts of your post. Think underline, italics and bold.
Ease up on the Punctuation
This is really hard for me because I loathe what I see as the bastardization of the English language, but there are ways you can avoid over-complicating your punctuation without sacrificing good writing practices. For example, use a bulleted list instead of writing one in a sentence using colons and semi-colons.
Since We're Talking About Lists…
Lists are excellent. They draw attention and display your crucial information in an easy-to-digest fashion. Whether bulleted or numbered, they'll draw focus to the crown jewels of your post.
We've all grown up with 'bigger is better', but in the internet generation, that's not really the case any more (great news boys!). Your reader's attention is fleeting at best. So keep sentences and paragraphs short. The shorter the better. Got it?
Break your post up into general sections and use semantic markup (that's h2, h3 and h4 tags to you and me) to give your readers an idea of what's in your post so they can find what matters to them.
It's amazing what a little color can do for you. Aim to have at least one image in every post, whether it's decorative, instructional or to grab attention.
Read It Yourself
Don't ever publish something that you haven't read and re-read. It also helps to plan ahead so that you have time to come back to an article a few days later with a fresh mind before it gets published.
Reality Check
It's fine to be opinionated, but are you driving your point home with arrogance? Also be conscious of how realistic your claims are. It might be tempting to tell someone they can earn millions by blogging, but it stinks of sensationalism and is a real turn-off. Be confident, even optimistic, but always be realistic.
Fact Check
There's little that screams "I don't know what I'm doing" more than incorrect facts. If you start out an article telling me that the internet was started by Mark Zuckerberg in 1995, I've already moved on.
The Rules of Engagement
Your readers are your lifeline. Even if you're not writing to make money, you're writing so that what you write will be read. So engage your readers in conversation. Initiate conversations with those who share your article. Respond to comments. And invite feedback and questions on what you've written (which I'm hoping you'll realize is an invitation to do just that right now).

Carolyn Birmingham
If you are happy and people around you are not happy, they will not allow you to stay happy. Therefore much of our happiness depends upon our ability to spread happiness around us.
Dr Madan Kataria
I have not seen anyone dying of laughter, but I know millions who are dying because they are not laughing
Dr Madan Kataria
A good laugh is sunshine in the house.
William Thackeray
If Laughter cannot solve your problems, it will definitely DISSOLVE your problems; so that you can think clearly what to do about them.
Dr Madan Kataria
Laughter serves as a blocking agent. Like a bulletproof vest, it may help protect you against the ravages of negative emotions that can assault you in disease.
Norman Cousins
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
Mark Twain
Laughter is a form of internal jogging. It moves your internal organs around. It enhances respiration. It is an igniter of great expectations.

It's a mini-sode! Don't worry, this doesn't count toward the #Final10. This time out, the Jerks discuss the Top Five athletes ever, and their personal Top Five movies ever! There are debates, revelations and laughs. T2J — we don't even know what "senioritis" means!

The Jerks break down the repercussions of that, plus NFL Hall of Famers want insurance, an interview with best-selling author Jeff Pearlman about his new book, telling the story of the USFL (and how President Donald Trump helped usher in its end) and the latest on Space Jam 2.

T2J – the universe is conspiring to keep us open (we think)!
Episode 151: NFL, Superman and Captain Marvel
The first of "The Final Twelve" is here. The Jerks discuss the 10 things that could happen that would keep us on the "air," Week One of the NFL season, and Hurricane Florence's effect on college football. Plus, Henry Cavill may be out as Superman, our first look at Captain Marvel and the Oscars cancels its "Popular Film" category (for now). T2J: it's supersized, it's funny and it's going fast!
Episode 150: UCF, Aquaman and the Future
150 episodes! The Jerks look back at where they've been and make a BIG announcement about where they're going. Plus, a look at UCF getting screwed in the college football polls, WB's chairman SWEARS Aquaman is good and a great way for the haters to protest against Star Wars: Episode IX!

- Ruta de la plata/Ruta Sanabres from Seville
I am looking to ride to The Compostella de Santiago in either late September or early October, leaving from Seville and riding to Zamora on the Ruta de la Plata then onto Santiago on the Sanabres. I am looking for advice on which bike to take. I have a Focus Izalco Pro Road bike and a Cube E bike. I could investigate an alternative of hiring a Mountain bike as I'll have panier bags. It seems to me the road bike isn't an option and the e bike will need regular recharging and is 25 kilos.

The Ambani-led 4G network, Reliance Jio has a huge growth in the past couple of months, the network has acquired around 110+ subscribers in the past. This hype was mostly because of the cheap data tariffs and the benefits that were offered by the network.
Secondary SIM:
The developing country market has this trend for the secondary SIM concept. The secondary SIM was preferred by working professional, to space out between the work and personal life. But later the Secondary SIM trend diverted in the Indian telecom space, as people get stuck to the Good operator based on the location, and use the secondary SIM as an offer grabber.
Secondary SIM is used as an offer grabber, people swap the secondary SIM for the best network offer available in the current stage across the network.
Not only Jio, many telecoms have been a victim of this kind of secondary sim-syndrome. For example, person X is using high-end smartphone with dual SIM capability, and he would be using the best operator (this a vary from person to person) and in the second sim slot, he would be using the SIM card that provides him great call or data offers based on his usage.
According to the reports by Velocity MR, a Bangalore-based firm, only 18 % of the subscribers use Reliance Jio as a stand alone SIM, while other 82 % use it as the secondary SIM. This is mostly because of the frequent outage and the call drops that happen across the Jio network. Once the network is back to the stable state, the people which soon migrate from the second state to the primary state. But Reliance Jio needs to get a trust to move into this space.
Let's wait and watch for the growth of Reliance Jio across these states.

3 Benefits of Using BPA Free Water Bottles in Dallas
BPA Free, Clean Water News, Water Bottle / 03.11.2016
Do you buy a case of water bottles every time you visit the grocery store? Not only are you wasting money buying plastic water bottles, but they are also not good for the environment. When you're looking for a quality water bottle, look into buying a Nubo Bottle. Nubo Bottles offers reusable, BPA free water bottles that are great for the environment.
Who in Dallas Needs a BPA-Free Water Bottle?
You'll no longer have to waste money buying plastic water bottles every time you go to the grocery store. There are many benefits to using BPA free water bottles in Dallas, including:
- Safe for the Environment. When you choose Nubo Bottle, not only will you save money but you're also making an effort to protect the environment. When plastic water bottles get hot they release a chemical known as Bisphenol-a (BPA). When there is BPA in your water it is not only bad for your health, but also bad for the environment.
- You can save hundreds of dollars! When you choose to buy a Nubo Bottle in Dallas you're getting a quality water bottle that will last. You won't have to waste money buying bottled water. Use your Nubo Bottle at work, at the gym, while traveling or any other time you want to have clean, crisp water on the go.
- Better for your health. BPA is a chemical that is produced in plastic water bottles and should not be consumed. When plastic water bottles are being shipped they can get very hot in the trucks they're delivered in and this can cause BPA to be released into your water. Not only will your water not taste as good, but it also isn't healthy for you to consume.
These are among the many benefits of buying a BPA free water bottle. You may not even realize how much money you waste each year buying plastic water bottles. It's not something a lot of people think about, but you can save hundreds of dollars by using a reusable water bottle. Do yourself a favor and start drinking cleaner and healthier water when you buy a Nubo Bottle. Visit our website today at nubobottle.com to see our products and learn more about why using a BPA free water bottle in Dallas is safe and effective for you and the environment.

Net Income is what is left after operating expenses are subtracted from gross income and is shown on an income statement. Cash Flow basically takes the net income and subtracts uses and adds sources to that net income. Uses include increasing assets or reducing liabilities, while additions to cash flow come from decreasing assets or increasing liabilities.
An abbreviated quick test of cash flow takes net income and adds back interest, depreciation, income taxes and amortization (EBIDTA) and then subtracts required loan principal and interest payments. This helps determine required cash flow activity for debt service coverage, but does not tell the entire story. For your business inventory may grow, equipment be purchased or other balance sheet changes made. Share your numbers and projections with your advisors so you and they understand the difference in your net income from your cash flow.

I'll be honest, I'm a cynic. I don't trust easily because I've been burned before. I am a firm believer in the fact that our past experiences dictate our responses to the things that we face. When we have faced situations where we've been hurt by others or where we have trusted others and they have disappointed us, we all have a tendency to be somewhat skittish about jumping into things head first the next time around.
Throughout my adult life, I have seen different processes that were put in place to protect or to ensure that outcomes would not be skewed. Some of those processes have been political processes. Some of those processes have been within educational systems. Some of those processes have been within the church.
Over and over again, I was told to trust the process. The processes were put into place by people smarter than me (at least, that's what I'm told). The processes were supposed to be foolproof. Is that really possible? If a process is put into place by fools, can it really be foolproof?
I watched my dad fall victim to a process that was faulty and fallible. I watched friends as they were burned within systems that were ruled and governed by processes. I have watched processes be manipulated by people who had agendas, somehow skewing the processes to result in their desired results.
The other day, I was reminded of a process that was supposed to be trusted. It was a process that was supposed to flesh out truth. Over and over again, people said to trust the process, but as the process went on, many realized that the process wasn't the problem, it was the people who had put the process into place. Processes may be trusted when they are static and unchanging or when the rules of that process are defined and maintained. But in this process, the rules were changing and many of them were undefined or fluid. How does one operate in a system where the rules continue to change and where they are constantly in motion and fluid?
It was amazing how I could feel the tension rise within me as I answered questions about a process with which I had been involved nearly two years ago. I always find that somewhat startling, how one can be removed from something for a long period of time only to be ushered right back to that moment when something suddenly triggers your memory.
Processes are only as good as the people behind them. It's a reminder to me to constantly lean on the wisdom that God gives rather than my own. It's also a reminder to be praying for all of the people behind processes, be they politicians or judges or pastors or teachers or whomever. We are all fallible people with the ability to subjectively usurp power and steer things to be the way that we want them to be. If we aren't careful, we can hijack processes that were meant for good and cause people evil.
It's just a humble reminder where I need to go for guidance and who I need to rely on. If any of us lacks wisdom, we can ask of the Father above who gives generously. He knows how much I need that.

We've curated a few of our favorite looks below!

A trip to the vet isn't what he had in mind when you said "let's go for a car ride," but it's a necessity of responsible pet care. Whether it's an annual examination or because your furry loved one isn't feeling well, many pets find the experience stressful to some degree. For those who don't revel in the attention and the treats, there are many other things we can do to make it a more positive experience.
- If you're using a carrier or crate to transport your pet, leave it out in your home for a couple of days prior to the appointment and allow your dog or cat to investigate it as they please. You can even offer some treats or feed a meal in there to make them more comfortable with their carrier.
- Use "happy" pheromones such as Feliway (for cats) and Adaptil (for dogs) to help naturally calm your pet. Depending on the product, they may come in sprays, wipes, collars or diffusers. Spraying your pet's blanket within the carrier/crate is a great idea, as well!
- Consider alternative treatments for stress such as Zylkene (synthesized milk proteins) and/or Thundershirt (uses pressure points to reduce stress).
- Visit your vet when your pet doesn't need anything done (these are called social visits). Your pet will get to enjoy some attention and treats without getting poked and prodded. This helps to create a positive association with the vet clinic.
- Talk to your vet team about your pet's stress level. We always do our best to keep our patients as comfortable and calm as possible. Cats, for example, often feel more secure if they can stay in the base of their carrier for their examination. If your pet continues to show signs of extreme stress or anxiety, you may want to discuss a sedative for future visits.

Back to Hearts in Stitches, the one romance novel I tried. I had this vision of myself as a romance novelist, putting out one book every two months and sitting on a bank account that would shame Fort Knox. The problem with this lovely image is that I was writing romance not because it was what I loved with a passion, but because I didn't mind romances, and some of them I thought were kind of cute, and I thought they'd be an easy way to make a buck. Here's a little lesson I learned from that experiment - there is no harder money to make than "easy money." I had to beat myself with a baseball bat to finish that book, and when it was done, it wasn't very good. It was competent - I got personal rejections with comments from each place I sent it - but it lacked heart and soul.
When I moved into SF and fantasy and started writing what I loved simply because I loved it, I started selling. I sold the first book I wrote to the first place I sent it. Which isn't a guarantee that you will do the same. You won't have to hurt yourself to finish your books if you're doing what you love, though. What you will not do for love, you should not do for money.
And that's my take on getting from the beginning of your novel to the end. I hope these tips point you in the right direction and make the experience fun and exciting for you.

Julia visited this evening, she's currently in Cape Town on research business so we were able to catch up again after a year (they seem to go by so quickly!!). It was lovely to chat and catch up especially with someone who understands the missionary lifestyle and the trials that go with it.
Sadly we're all looking older but not too bad when all is said and done!

We live today in an increasingly global community, one characterized by rapid, overlapping, and complex flows of people, technologies, goods, money, and cultures across the world. Countries and other actors in the international system have become interdependent regardless of geography or nationality. Actions in one part of the world produce far-reaching effects in far-flung places. It is therefore imperative for us to be able to think globally and to locate our lives and experiences within this changing world. The International Studies Program takes on this task through its interdisciplinary curriculum, its co-curricular activities, and on-campus events.
The International Studies Program is designed for students who are interested in studying the relationships between global problems and regional dynamics or experiences from an interdisciplinary perspective. The Program has three aims:
The Program draws on courses from Anthropology, Art, Business, Economics, English, Foreign Languages, Health, History, Music, Political Science, Physics, Sociology, and Religion. Within the Program, faculty from these disciplines and departments teach courses in seven areas of concentration, five geographical (African Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, Russian and East European Studies, and West European Studies), and two functional (Development Studies and Diplomatic Studies).
The Program is committed to advancing the foreign language proficiency of International Studies Majors. In addition, it seeks to broaden the experiential horizons of IWU students by encouraging our students to for a semester or a shorter May Term Travel Course and by bringing foreign students and faculty/ scholars to our campus.
The program also participates in the Technos International Week一道本不卡免费高清 through which we send two freshman or sophomore students to Japan cost free for two weeks each spring. The Technos International College of Tokyo sponsors the visit of groups from Bates, Carleton, Hobart and William, Smith, Hope, McKendree Colleges and Illinois Wesleyan in addition to groups from New Zealand and England. The itinerary includes a four-day program at Technos International College, tours of the City of Tokyo, villages, countrysides and a mountain resort.

MS Amlin partners with Envelop Risk | Insurance Business
There's plenty of news coming out of the ongoing Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo – from PartnerRe's 'future is bright' statement to Swiss Re's view that the industry must be proactive… now an underwriting partnership between two London-headquartered firms has been launched.
Announcing the tie-up at the reinsurance event, global (re)insurer MS Amlin and specialty cyber (re)insurance analytics and underwriting firm Envelop Risk said their collaboration is well placed to become a dominant force in the cyber reinsurance space. It will bring together the latter's "compelling" augmented intelligence capabilities and its partner's specialist lead underwriting and global scale.
MS Amlin AG will serve as capacity provider for the cyber reinsurance portfolio, according to the announcement. In addition, MS Amlin will assist with risk management and advising on the reported claims.
Envelop Risk, meanwhile, will be in charge of the sourcing, underwriting, product development, and marketing of cyber reinsurance deals. These will be overseen by Envelop Risk chief underwriting officer Ari Chatterjee.
"One of the biggest obstacles to growth that the market faces is a lack of credible risk quantification tools matched with specialist underwriters who really understand the product class," noted James Few, global managing director of reinsurance at MS Amlin. "The partnership with Envelop is an elegant solution to this problem, leveraging their best-in-class analytics with our established presence in the global underwriting market.
"We are excited to see what the partnership can unlock and achieve."
The cyber reinsurance portfolio will cover both proportional and non-proportional structures and cater to multiple geographies, with underwriting capacity available from October 01.
"We are delighted to be partnering with MS Amlin, to address the material and growing reinsurance of cyber-related risks, embracing the complexity which has to date prevented an efficient risk transfer market developing," commented Envelop Risk chief executive Jonathan Spry. "We believe MS Amlin's global capability and expertise to be an ideal fit for our approach, underpinned by Envelop's proprietary AI analytics."

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Before the Twin Cities had skyway systems or mega malls, we had tunnels. There are hundreds of them, with many of them man-made in the 1800s.
WCCO's Jamie Yuccas had a rare chance to go inside the historic Pillsbury A Mill in Minneapolis. While it was dark and somewhat dangerous, the tunnel has a fascinating past and uncertain future.
Greg Brick explores tunnels and has delved deep into the subject for 20 years.
"The kind we're going to be visiting today is a hydro power tunnel, and that was, interestingly enough, one of the very earliest kinds of tunnels. They predate the civil war in the St. Anthony Falls area," said Brick.
With each step, there are new discoveries in the Flour Mill, which was built in 1881.
"A lot of times when (the tunnels) went out of use, as this one did, they were walled off, so people completely forgot about them" said Brick.
Once inside the belly of the building, Kit Richardson, an architect, is our guide.
"So, we're now standing outside the building under Main Street and the tunnel is 660 feet long," said Richardson, who said he feels connected to the first flour mill to ever be built by an architect.
The floor of the tunnel resembles a river bed. There are signs of life throughout the tunnel, including this underground garden we found where roots are actually growing through the ceiling.
"When the tunnel was closed off in '54-'55, when they stopped using it for water power … there was a very small gate valve," said Richardson.
That's how fresh water creatures have ended up here, including freshwater clams, tiny shrimp and crayfish. Even a catfish was spotted.
The hydro power tunnel, used to obviously supply power to the mill, didn't quite provide enough.
"The problem that Mr. Pillsbury learned very early on was that the river water … it was dependent on the climate and the weather," said Richardson. "He very quickly decided, after buying the mill, that he needed another source of power, so he bought a steam plant and generated electricity."
The maintenance on the tunnel was constant, however, meaning workers had to keep the turbines moving and make sure the flow of water to the drop shaft remained consistent.
The conditions were cold, damp and dark.
Standing inside, it's hard to believe this type of space is not unique. Even with so many underground treasures in the Twin Cities, getting a glimpse into the mystery under our feet is exceptionally rare.
Ms Yuccas,
Even though your story and history about the A Mill tunnel was interesting and informative, I can't help but think you were very lucky nothing happened to you while you were in it. As someone who is required to enter the Minneapolis tunnel systems on a regular basis, and have taken many people into them, I would NEVER have let you enter into that Tunnel without the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) i.e Hard Hat, Safety Harness (In case you can't get out on your own the fire department would have a way to rescue you), Goggles etc.,and neither would have any of my co-workers. You entered into a confined space, do know if any of the people you were with were confined space trained? Did you have to sign anything stating you understood the potential hazards? Did anyone have an air monitor, to test for hazardous atmospheric conditions while you were down there? And did someone stay up above to monitor if everything was going okay, because if something had happened to all of you while you were below ground, who would have notified Minneapolis Fire and Rescue? If you ever have to go into a confined space again, be it private or public, keep these things in mind, because these are OSHA regulations. If you ever have a true need to go into another tunnel in the City of Minneapolis contact the city's Public Works – Surface Waters & Sewers department, again I'm thankful nothing happened to you while you were in the tunnel.
@Matt, you must have been a mamas boy
What, is there a malfunctioning nuclear reactor down there or something? Sheesh! Calm down, killjoy! Very cool article! I wish I could see them myself.
shut up
YO BUZZKILL….dont go out side because you might trip on a rock and skin your knee, dont get on a horse and go horseback riding because you might fall off and get hurt……now go back and get into your prius and buckle up good because you might get into a fender bender……i'll bet your hands are as soft as a babies bottom and that IS NOT an admirable trait, at least for a man.
Good report Matt..Some people are naturally numb to what the dangers of confined space can be
@Goober I think I hear your mom calling you in for your bottle to.
Way cool,Hope they are opened to the public. Heck I'd wear a brain bucket.
So Matt seems a lot of tough macho dudes didn't appreciate your dissertation. yes sir tough guys for sure hacking away on their keyboards, sitting behind thief screens telling you what a candy a$$ you are. I would think they would have more macho things to do than read and type with those hands steel they must possess.
@Guido, Sorry Pal, Hey I just heard your mama calling you and Matt home
I like you Sue
They will become 'apartments' of smart homeless people.
The tunnels could be used as a nuclear fallout shelter
Sue, I've been in that tunnel It is amazing and it was a good story. Your life might not be worth $300 worth of prevention, but mine is, to my mama, my wife, my kids, and my grandkids, There are so many things that can happen down there I'm sure your immature and thought less thinking would never be unable come up with. And hey I hope no one from OSHA sees this report, because both the owners of the building and 'CCO could get 50K fines each from OSHA for entering into a Confined Space without the proper equipment and notification. I was just trying to inform Ms Yucca as she was informing us. So If I'm a mama's boy or whatever small minded insult you can come up with, so be it.
Soooooo….I take it train jumping is completely out with you?
Matt: OSHA regulations apply to employees acting within their employers' workspaces. You aren't in violation of an OSHA regulation simply because you enter a dangerous area. Besides, the Pillsbury A-Mill is privately owned, so your concerns are admirable, but misplaced.

United States District Court, D. Hawaii
October 30, 2017
CRAIG MOSKOWITZ, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, Plaintiff,v.AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, F. S . B ., Defendant.
S.C. Chang, United States Magistrate Judge.
the Court is Defendant American Savings Bank, F.S.B.'s
("Defendant") Motion to Stay Pending Decision of
D.C. Circuit, filed July 19, 2017. On September 25, 2017,
Plaintiff Craig Moskowitz ("Plaintiff") filed an
Opposition.[1] Defendant filed a Reply on October 2,
matter came on for hearing on October 25, 2017. Justin
Brackett, Esq., appeared, and Aytan Bellin, Esq., appeared by
phone, on behalf of Plaintiff. Kevin Herring, Esq., and
Michael Vieira, Esq., appeared, and John Doroghazi, Esq.,
appeared by phone, on behalf of Defendant. After careful
consideration of the parties' submissions, the applicable
law, and the arguments of counsel, the Court HEREBY GRANTS
the Motion for the reasons articulated below.
requests a stay of this action pending the issuance of the
D.C. Circuit's decision in ACA International v.
FCC, No. 15-1211, (D.C. Cir. filed Nov. 25, 2015), which
concerns the interpretation of automatic telephone dialing
systems ("ATDS"). Defendant argues that because the
decision will govern claims and issues before this Court, a
stay would promote economy and conserve resources. Plaintiff
counters that Defendant has not demonstrated a strong
likelihood of success on the merits; that Defendant would not
suffer hardship and inequity if this action proceeds without
a ruling from the D.C. Circuit; and he will suffer
substantial prejudice because a stay could cause a delay of
several years.
courts have "broad discretion to stay proceedings as an
incident to its power to control its own docket."
Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706-07 (1997)
(citation omitted); Landis v. North American Co.,
299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936) ("[T]he power to stay
proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every
court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket
with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and
for litigants.").
A trial court may, with propriety, find it is efficient for
its own docket and the fairest course for the parties to
enter a stay of an action before it, pending resolution of
independent proceedings which bear upon the case. This rule
applies whether the separate proceedings are judicial,
administrative, or arbitral in character, and does not
require that the issues in such proceedings are necessarily
controlling of the action before the court.
Leyva v. Certified Grocers of Cal., Ltd., 593 F.2d
857, 863-64 (9th Cir. 1979); Mediterranean Enters., Inc.
v. Ssangyong Corp., 708 F.2d 1458, 1465 (9th
Cir. 1983) (affirming district court decision to stay
proceedings pending outcome of arbitration as to certain
exercising its judgment, the court "must weigh competing
interests and maintain an even balance."
Landis, 299 U.S. at 254-55; Malama Mauka v.
Rumsfeld, 136 F.Supp.2d 1155, 1165 (D. Haw. 2001)
("[T]he competing interests that will be affected by the
granting or refusing of a stay must be weighed."). These
competing interests include
the possible damage which may result from the granting of a
stay, the hardship or inequity which a party may suffer in
being required to go forward, and the orderly course of
justice measured in terms of the simplifying or complicating
of issues, proof, and questions of law which could be
expected to result from a stay.

Courts should not grant stays "unless it appears likely
the other proceedings will be conducted within a reasonable
time in relation to the urgency of the claims presented to
the court." Leyva, 593 F.2d at 864.
As an
initial matter, the Court notes that Plaintiff relies upon
the incorrect standard in opposing the Motion.[2] This case
does not concern the stay of a judgment or an order pending
an appeal originating from this case. Applying the proper
standard stated above, and exercising its broad discretion to
stay proceedings as an incident to its power to control its
own docket, the Court GRANTS the Motion and stays the case
pending the issuance of the D.C. Circuit's
decision.[3] The Court finds it reasonable to
impose a brief stay to await resolution of legal issues that
bear on the adjudication of the claims in this action.
Leyva, 593 F.2d 857 at 863. Although a stay will
slightly delay the disposition of this case, Plaintiff will
not suffer undue prejudice. Plaintiff speculates that the
stay could drag on indefinitely because the D.C. Circuit
decision will likely be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Plaintiff's concerns about circumstances that have yet to
materialize do not support the denial of a stay. Defendant is
not asking for such a lengthy stay, nor would the Court be
inclined to allow it. The stay imposed here is limited to the
D.C. Circuit's decision. Any request for an extension of
the stay would be evaluated based on the attendant
circumstances and Plaintiff would have ample opportunity to
challenge the request.
economy will be served, and potentially unnecessary expenses
conserved, by a short stay. It makes little sense for the
parties and the Court to proceed with litigation while
applicable standards remain unsettled. Indeed, requiring the
parties to go forward will cause them "to spend time and
money conducting discovery on a critical issue of liability
without knowing what law will ultimately apply at summary
judgment or at trial-a fool's errand, to say the
least." Washington, 2017 WL 111913, at *2.

September 2010 Daily Fishing Reports
Thursday, September 30: Montauk
Could A Change Be Coming?Capt. Warren Marshall and I made the trip to New London today to catch the ferry over to Orient Point for my annual Montauk fishing. After a tough September on the Cape, I was hoping that a change in venue would pay off. When we got to the island and stopped off at Harvey Bennett's, the word was out that the albie fishing was great and we heard later that today was the best folks could remember. Of course, I had originally planned to be here yesterday, so I missed out, which had me wondering: could this be a bad omen?
Monday, September 27: The Sounds and The Islands
That Close!It had been a couple of years since I got to fish with Jim Lee, so it was good to get together and catch up on what has been going on with his family. Of course, we also did some fishing with the long wand, ultimately finding some schools of albies off of Waquoit, one of which Jim put a hook into before it unfortunately came unbuttoned. We found scattered schools of funnies down to Woods Hole, but they weren't cooperating. Even some good water around the islands proved to be empty as the inconsistency of September continues.
Friday, September 24: The Elizabeths
An Introduction to StripersJason Brooks was aboard today and he brought his friend, Woo Cha, with him. Woo lives in Chicago and hadn't caught a bass before, so I was glad to see schools showing outside of Robinson's on the change of the tide. None of the fish were legal sized, but they were aggressive and fun on light tackle, taking plastics, jigs, and plugs. Frankly, days like today are very important to a guide since they keep the optimism up that the season is going to continue, as overall September has been windy and tough.
Wednesday, September 22: Falmouth to Cotuit
Albie Insanity!Joe Marcus and I made the ride down from Falmouth and stopped at all of the albie hotspots until we hit the fish from Cotuit to Centerville. The fish were active and showing well, but they showed us no love despite good shots with both the fly and spin. We did manage to get bit off by some small blues, but the funny fish gave us the fin today.
Monday, September 20: Nantucket Sound and the Hole
Finally Some Albies!The albies finally showed in decent numbers off Popponesset today and I had the man for the job on the boat as Pat Widmer took advantage of some tough shots with the wind and chop for a nice fly rod catch. Lots of boats were working the area with a few charging about as the schools were showing quite aggressively, but as usual a patient, thoughtful approach worked best. Small flies were the order of the day along with light tippets.
Sunday, September 19: Barnstable Harbor
Long Wand MagicWhat a great day to be on the water as Brett Chambers and I took advantage of Barnstable's magic, flyrodding bass from creek to flat. Brett has all the skills a guide looks for in tossing and working flies, as well as an approach to fishing that makes a day in the boat with him an absolute pleasure.
Tuesday, September 14: The Elizabeths
A Lesson LearnedSometimes you learn the hard way, and that was certainly the case today as I took to the water for another nice fall day with Davis and Robert Yetman. We caught fish, both on fly and spin, and even had a few albies showing off Tashmoo, but the fun really began when I tried to get a fly line off the prop in Robinson's. With the wind and tide, we ended up gently bumping a few rocks and by that time it was too late for the motor, so I ended up jumping onto a rock and pushing us along until I could shove the boat out and Davis could drop the motor and idle out to safety. Fortunately, nobody was around to watch me being pulled along until I could step on the cavitation plate (with the engine off, of course!) and get lifted into the boat. The only thing I lost was a cellphone and car alarm fob, which were toast, and my pride. Lesson for the day: cut the line and motor out before removing it!
Sunday, September 12: Buzzards Bay and the Islands
Nothing Funny About ThisDespite a lot of miles looking for funny fish, day two of the Harlan Plumley gathering produced a big goose egg on albies. Jay O'Leary and Mike James scraped up a few small bass, but even the big blues weren't playing nice. The wind and tough weather this September continued and I wonder if we are ever going to get a break.
Saturday, September 11: Buzzards Bay and the Islands
What A Difference A Year MakesToday was day one of the Harlan Plumley fishing weekend and there was no repeat of the fantastic albie fishing we had last year, to say the least. A lot of folks hoped that the warm water this summer would produce a banner funny fish season, but that has not been the case. Buzzards Bay has overall been a bust, with most of the action from Falmouth to Cotuit, albeit sporadic, with just enough fish around the Vineyard to keep everyone crazy. The one saving grace today were the huge schools of big blues outside of Quick's that proved to be quite a challenge on the fly for Paul Bakstran and the father-son team of Dave and Sam James.
Friday, September 3: The Elizabeths
Another PickMark Tenerowicz and I hit the water in the evening and he managed a pick of smaller bass on plugs and plastics, but overall the action on the islands continues to be inconsistent at best.
Thursday, September 2: Barnstable Harbor
One of the Good DaysJoining Ron Garcia today were his son-in-laws, Hoolie Wiese and Scott Pew, for a day of flyrodding the Barnstable area. We started working the creeks at first light and Scott hooked up with what I assumed was a really big bass, but instead turned out to be a big, nasty bluefish that I was surprised to see up tight in the skinny stuff. We poked around some of the flats for a few smaller bass and ended up with a solid pick of schoolies off Beach Point as the tide went outgoing. While Hoolie and Scott did most of the fish work, Ron and I got to share fish stories and talk about his adventures with some of the charterboat captains out of Falmouth Harbor.
Wednesday, September 1: Barnstable Harbor
In The Sun and By The MoonI was tired of the sounds, so I went sight fishing in B-Harbor with Michael Beebe and it was great to be sight fishing in clear water again. I miss poling, even if it is on the bigger boat, and we connected a number of times, including one larger fish on the west bar that made a good run before breaking off. Finished with a schoolie blitz off the point that was a reminder of days past when it was possible to be into fish for hours on end. The night portion of my fishing adventures included Charles Garland and his friend, Gary. The creeks were quiet and Charles managed to raise one bass off Sandy Neck, but the main plan was to drift eels in the the channel. Things got off to a rough start with bluefish chops, but Charles connected with what looked like a good bass before it came unbuttoned. Surprisingly quiet once the tide got going, with the most excitement being towing some kids off the flat whose motor had broken down before passing them on to a large charterboat.

Subject description
In the last decades contaminants' discharges are one of the themes that concerned the scientific community and received special attention by media because of the threat and adverse effects that may cause in aquatic ecosystems (McKnight et al., 2012). The pollutants that cause most damage to the ecosystem are originate from industry and mining including toxic substances such as metals and organic pollutants. Little is known about how natural ecosystems respond to chronic exposure to these contaminants, many of which, especially metals, are non-degradable and therefore accumulate in nature. Anthropogenic pressures often decrease the health and stability of ecosystems, although the precise effects of these stressors on the biochemical components remain largely unknown (Gonçalves et al., 2012; Holliday et al., 2009). Despite the extensive literature on anthropogenic pressures, a more functional approach to trace changes in food webs due to modified biochemical composition of species is lacking so far.
Nutrients, mainly lipids and proteins, are involved in many vital functions of aquatic individuals (Arts et al., 2001; Hibbeln et al., 2006; SanGiovanni and Chew 2005; Teilum et al., 2011). Since some of them can only be obtained from food and therefore referred to as 'essential nutrients' they proved to be useful trophic markers (De Troch et al., in press) and are essential for physiological functions, the overall metabolism of organisms and their prevention of diseases (Balasubramanian et al., 1980; Dalsgaard et al., 2003). Integrating multiple specific biomarkers to assess biochemical responses of estuarine species provides a powerful tool to quantify the health status of an individual in response to anthropogenic stressors and food sources (Masclaux et al., 2012).
This PhD research aims to address the influence of human-induced environmental changes on structural and functional (i.e. food web interactions) biochemical composition of two main estuarine planktonic groups in a southern European estuary (e.g. Mondego estuary, Portugal) by means of (trophic) biomarkers.
Pollutants (e.g. inorganic fertilizers and pesticides) are widely used on agriculture fields worldwide, with the Mediterranean region presenting a large increase of these compounds in the past 20-40 years (Galhano et al., 2011). The intensive usage of pollutants in agriculture areas near ecological coastal wetlands, led to the implementation of the Pesticide-Monitoring programs to recover aquatic systems, such as in the Mondego estuary (Figueira da Foz, Portugal) (Galhano et al., 2011). Nowadays, and according to the information from agricultural cooperatives of Mondego valley, the herbicide Primextra® Gold TZ is the most used herbicide in corn crops fields, whereas Copper is mainly used in fungicides and in pesticides' constitution. Phytoplankton and zooplankton are widely used in the determination of environmental impacts due to their key position in the food chain. Two main representatives of both trophic levels (e.g. the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii and the copepod Acartia tonsa) will be used to constitute a simple trophic food chain in lab conditions. This will allow to conduct controlled lab experiments in order to determine and quantify the individual and combined effects of anthropogenic stressors. Stressors will include the herbicide Primextra® Gold TZ and copper as metal pollution. Trophic biomarkers as fatty acid (FA) profiles, proteins' composition and enzymatic activity will be used to test for potential effects of these stressors on the energy flow between both taxonomic levels. Further modelling of the obtained data will allow to better understand possible community-based responses to a combination of stressors. The outcome of this modelling will be verified with data on abundance, diversity and structure of aquatic communities and also food web interactions and their potential changes in the field as obtained during the parallel postdoctoral research of Dr. Gonçalves.
The specific aims of the proposed PhD research are:
- To assess individual effects of toxicants (e.g. Copper and Primextra® Gold TZ) on biochemical composition (e.g. enzymatic activity, proteins and fatty acid composition) of species from different trophic levels (primary producer and primary consumer);
- To assess multiple-stressor scenarios (e.g. bifactorial combinations) effects on biochemical composition of species at different trophic levels;
- To develop an ecotoxicological model of the effects of environmental contaminants on food webs and, thus, on food quality, using experimental data for calibration and validation.
This PhD research is imbedded in the ecotoxicology research that is conducted at the University of Aveiro, in collaboration with IMAR-CMA UC. Furthermore it is supported by the trophic ecology research at the UGent research group Marine Biology. The interaction between these research fields implies an important added value as it guarantees a more integrated approach to impact studies. Integrated knowledge is essential to evaluate the health of marine ecosystems and to take correct conservation measurements were needed.
Within this consortium, it is very feasible that this PhD topic yields a PhD thesis after 3 years as there is a perfect balance between short-term lab experiments, biochemical lab analyses and valorisation of the findings through modelling and comparison with available field data. In addition, there is a certain flexibility in the timing of the experiments according to the timeframe and the interests of the student.

Expected outcomes
Results achieved within this PhD research will be presented and discussed at 2-3 scientific meetings, and published in 3-4 peer-reviewed international journals (SCI indexed).
This PhD research will contribute to the development of an ecotoxicological model to predict the influence of anthropogenic activities on trophic food webs, and thus on food quality, and to achieve the level of contamination of estuarine / marine ecosystems according to changes on biochemical composition.
Diffusion of results and addressed methods will be directed to graduation and post-graduation students in short seminars in the proponent and participant institutions. Diffusion of the study rationale and research results will be also directed to the under-graduation educational community (e.g. secondary school students and teachers) during the "Open Day of the University" and the national "Week of Science and Technology" at the University of Aveiro. Moreover, we will put additional effort into the preparation and publication of a manuscript in the journal CAPTAR. This is a periodic journal, held by the University of Aveiro, that aims to diffuse studies and new achievements made by scientists at the Univ. of Aveiro in the field of life sciences and environment, which is focused at students and teachers of the basic and secondary scholar levels. Diffusion to broader publics will be envisaged by posting updated information about the PhD research via Department of Biology/University of Aveiro (http://www.ua.pt/bio), IMAR-CMA (http://www1.ci.uc.pt/imar/unit/) and websites.
