Mining companies face a wealth of challenges when it comes to logistics management and transport of extracted payloads. Efficient asset utilization for rail transport is thus pivotal for a profitable mining operations.
It's vital for mining companies to have some degree of control of rail transports assets (such as rail cars,) however investing in rail cars is not always a cost-efficient solution given that a typical rail car can cost over $50,000. An alternative option is to lease rail cars or utilize rail cars that are owned by the railroad. In either case, effective control in managing rail transport equipment is challenging and time consuming for mining companies.
When mining companies use assets owned by the railroads, it's important to note that "free running" does not imply zero cost. Rates can cover a number of costs, including the cost to "rent" rail cars that need to be used to transport payloads. Although this might seem like an effective solution for logistics management, there is no guarantee that a consistent supply of empty rail cars will be available.
Leasing rail cars for logistics management can addresses this capacity issue, however this often leads to a higher level of pressure for the railroads to ensure each car is encounter for. As a result, they will tend to demand a higher value cost from the leasing agreement. In essence, this require mining companies to pay close attention to asset utilization for rail transport and logistics management – a common challenge among mining companies that lack the capital to invest in such systems.
The Role of Logistics Management Companies
Third-party logistics management companies can help mining businesses overcome these challenges. Many third-party logistics providers have a focus in industrial applications for not only warehousing and fulfillment services, but also rail transportation. Thus, many logistics management companies have the necessary equipment and solutions, from the rail car scale system to weigh payloads to volume rail fleets for transport.
Some of the most common services and solutions provided by industrial-focused third-party logistics management companies include:
Strategic Analysis of Rail Transport Solutions
Strategic analysis of the decisions and investments to utilize railroad-owned assets. A third-party logistics company can work with the mining company, railroads, and rail car lessors to conduct a strategic analysis of rail transport equipment, its availability, and the overall cost.
Improvement Asset Utilization
Mining companies must avoid idle rail cars – moving, loaded rail cars is essential to a company's revenue stream. On a regular basis, a third-party logistics provide can monitor and assess the rail car fleet to pinpoint bottlenecks and inefficiencies, such as long unloading times, transit delays, and other inhibiting variables that can slow asset utilization. The logistics management company can then work with the railroads, shipping companies, and other involved parties to troubleshoot and solve these problems.
Tracking Movement of Payloads
Tracking in the rail transport context is no doubt very challenging, but experienced third-party logistics companies have the systems in place to see regular updates. Additionally, the third-pary logistics provided can often times transmit automated data feeds on ETAs (estimated time of arrival) of inbound and outbound rail cars. As a result, this enables mining companies to properly plan for loading and unloading of rail cars, which can help to minimize labor costs while keeping assets moving.

CHICAGO -- A settlement in a class-action lawsuit first filed in 2004 against Bally Total Fitness is scheduled for approval next month.
A hearing is set for Nov. 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago. Judge John F. Grady will determine if the court will approve a sum of $2 million for the plaintiffs, who claimed that Bally misled investors about the Chicago-based company's financial statements, including its net income, revenues and expenses.
The $2 million from the settlement would go to investors who purchased or acquired shares of Bally stock between Aug. 3, 1999, and April 28, 2004, according to court documents.
"That's just the deal that was struck between the parties," says Jon Lambiras, an attorney with Berger and Montague P.C., Philadelphia, the firm representing the plaintiffs. "There was give and take on both sides, and that was the amount that we arrived at. The case is still pending. It's still subject to court approval."
The settlement represents an average recovery of 6.5 cents per share, but after attorneys' fees and taxes, it's an average of 4.2 cents a share. A stipulation of settlement was entered on June 29.
The first of several securities fraud class actions was filed against Bally on May 20, 2004. Defendants in the case include Bally, former CEO Paul Toback, former CEO Lee Hillman, former CFO John Dwyer and Bally's auditor, Ernst & Young. Of the $2 million, $95,000 will be provided by Ernst and Young, and $1.905 million will be provided by Hillman and Dwyer on behalf of themselves and Toback.
The defendants have denied the allegations in the lawsuit. In July 2006, the U.S. District Court dismissed the complaint for the plaintiffs' failure to show that Bally acted with intent to defraud. In March 2007, Cosmos Investment Co., the lead plaintiff in the case, filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The settlement was reached before the appeals court's ruling.
Bally filed for bankruptcy in July 2007. It emerged from bankruptcy later that year as a private company. That bankruptcy—the first of two Bally bankruptcies in the past four years—as well as the appeal and the settlement discussions were reasons for the length of this case, Lambiras says.
Lambiras did not know the exact number of plaintiffs in the class-action suit, but he says it could be in the thousands.
Bally declined to comment on the case.

The State of Wyoming's
Economic Development Agency
By Tom Dixon, Content Marketing Manager
July 5, 2018
The site of the former Empress Theatre, which fell into disrepair and was demolished in 2009, is the new downtown Laramie home to Big Hollow Food Coop. The Wyoming Business Council provided a $3 million grant for the mixed use project, which will feature residential units in addition to allowing Big Hollow to continue its rapid expansion.
Construction nears completion on the new Big Hollow Food Coop building in downtown Laramie. The building includes space for future residential units upstairs.
Laramie Main Street Executive Director Trey Sherwood speaks during the 2017 groundbreaking for Big Hollow Food Coop in downtown Laramie. The Wyoming Business Council worked with Big Hollow, the City of Laramie and Laramie Main Street to build a mixed use building to assist Big Hollow's rapid expansion.
The Laramie community mourned the 2009 demolition of the Empress Theatre in downtown.
The nearly century old building suffered decades of neglect. In the wake of its deconstruction, only an empty lot remained.
"After it was razed, we came together as a community and said, 'It is not acceptable to leave this as a hole in the ground,'" said Trey Sherwood, executive director of the Laramie Main Street Alliance.
This summer, downtown Laramie will celebrate the fulfillment of the promise to fill the empty lot with the grand opening of Big Hollow Food Co-op, the anchor tenant of a new mixed-use development.
Big Hollow supports local agriculture and provides healthy food options for downtown residents and the Laramie community. Founded in 2007, the company has more than tripled its membership to 1,600 families and seen annual revenues soar to nearly $2.2 million.
More than 50 vendors sell their products through Big Hollow. The store sold $335,000 worth of local food last year, according to their annual report.
"We were bursting at the seams and looking at a second location," said Marla Petersen, Big Hollow general manager. "We were worried we were going to have to move out of downtown."
The new building provides Big Hollow double the space, which will allow for more inventory, new services and more chilled and frozen food storage.
Big Hollow also anticipates increasing its staff of 18 workers to 30 workers and investing $600,000 in the property in the next five years.
The Wyoming Business Council, the state's economic development agency, provided a $3 million grant to assist the project.
"It was a dream team partnership between Big Hollow, the City of Laramie, Laramie Main Street and the Business Council," Sherwood said. "None of us could individually do this."
In the years following the demolition of the Empress Theatre, Sherwood did two things above all: listened to the community and watched for an established business ready to grow and expand. Her conversations with the community pointed Laramie Main Street toward Big Hollow.
The co-op met the community's needs: a growing business that had proven to be a good neighbor and an essential asset to the vibrancy of downtown.
Once Big Hollow was on board, Laramie Main Street formed the community's vision for the new building into a strategic plan to redevelop the property. Business owners, the City of Laramie and the public all vetted the plan to ensure everyonewas on the same page.
The process gave Laramie Main Street a foundation from which to acquire the property, apply for feasibility studies and identify local and state funding.
"It was all about what we want to look like as a city in 20 years," Sherwood said.
Big Hollow fit that long-term vision perfectly.
"They've got a track record of success and they are well loved in the community," Sherwood said. "Any time you can go in and meet the person who made your food, it makes for a more personal relationship between the seller and the consumer."
That personal relationship is evident in the number of customers Petersen said approached her asking how to help Big Hollow make the move.
Not only does Big Hollow ensure area residents have access to a healthy, conveniently located grocery store, but because it focuses on selling locally sourced products, the co-op is providing revenue for growers and producers throughout the region.
"Big Hollow was started by a group of Laramie people who wanted the products from their vibrant farmers markets to be accessible year-round," Petersen said. "This grocery has created a shift with local growers. We've seen more people willing to embrace producing fruits and vegetables or raising hens to supplement their incomes now that they have a year-round outlet for that product."
Locals feeding locals results in a more resilient community and strengthens Laramie's economy, Petersen continued.
Ensuring Main Street had a commercial tenant ready to move in made it possible to phase this project. The next step will be building residential units on the second floor.
Downtown housing adds vibrancy to the district, Sherwood explained. Business owners may extend their hours as they see more people downtown later into the evening. And when services like grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and entertainment are all located close by people tend to walk more. People walking on the street is an indication of a safe neighborhood, which also makes doing business downtown more attractive.
"We believe we've been an anchor for the downtown community," Petersen said. "Customers come get groceries, but then they are more likely to get a cup of coffee or stop by the barber."
The new Big Hollow building will generate property tax and sales tax to fund local government and basic services without the need for the city to add new infrastructure like roads.
Plus, physically filling a hole downtown aesthetically extends the boundaries of downtown by making it feel like there's a reason to continue walking to the next block and beyond. Sherwood expects this project to encourage private development further north.
A successful development like this mixed use building also creates trust with local business owners, the community and city officials that Laramie Main Street has the capacity and skills to carry out big projects successfully in the future.
"Thanks to this success, we're going to see more engaged community members and businesses. That momentum is huge," Sherwood said.
Sherwood's biggest takeaway from the multiyear project is to listen closely to what the community wants from a project and take those desires into account when it comes to the form and function of the development.
Laramie Main Street hopes this project can be a blueprint for other Wyoming Main Street communities and Sherwood is eager to lend her expertise as other downtowns look to tackle similar infill construction.

SEM companies often fail when it comes to explaining complex ideas. This is unfortunate, because if you can't explain complex ideas, you must work much harder to help explain the importance of an idea or proposal, and it can even prevent clients from learning about good work you did.
Reporting SEM results can be challenging: it is expected to be measurable, it depends on complex interactions of systems, and it often involves ideas that are relatively new. But you don't have to give up on reporting. In fact, you can spend less time actually messing with Powerpoint, more time talking to the clients and your co-workers, and deliver much better reporting — all while having fun in the process.
It's simple! Any SEM who wants to successfully report to a client must be ready to do three things:
- Educate
- Simplify
- Adapt
Educate your client. Even the most Bottom Line "just the facts" client will have questions about the data that you regularly present. This is particularly true once the Key Performance Indicators are developed and agreed upon. The key with education for a client is two-fold: First, the best opportunities for education come when you anticipate a question. The way that we do this at Pure Visibility is that we spend less time making reports "pretty" and use that found time talking about how the presentation will probably go with the client. When we hit particular discussion points, we quiz each other to determine if we know how to explain what is going on.
The second key point about education is that it should be part of the discussion and supplemental handouts, but not an explicit part of the report. Why? Education should be seen as a way to improve the way that you and your client communicate, but adding it to your monthly executive summary means the client will have to wade through all your brilliant prose to get to the key bottom line numbers she needs to make her boss happy. Put the materials on the side, in a separate file, if need be, and just talk about it in the meeting.
Take the time to simplify your reporting. Ever write a long letter because you didn't have time to write a short one? Reporting is like that, too. Instead of dazzling your client with endless lists of data, charts, and graphs, ask yourself what the key messages are that you would like to deliver, and challenge yourself to put that information into one or, at most, two charts or graphs, along with one page of supporting narrative. Does that make you feel nervous, unprotected by your legion of spreadsheets? Well, try processing all that data without a tour guide. It's basically like doing your taxes. EVERY MONTH. Why would you want to do that to someone who is paying you?
Adapt to the client's needs. Your clients will love this approach, if they are getting simple data and enjoying the benefits of your knowledge as part of their marketing education, well, they GET IDEAS. During the beginning of an engagement, we find that clients who are really looking at the information and asking question tend to evolve in their understanding of what they want and need. As a result, we usually expect our reports to change three to five times in the early part of project. Sometimes this happens very rapidly (monthly or every other month), sometimes more slowly over the course of a year.
But here's the key point: change is good! It means your client is starting to learn about her own business, and wants to get reports that more closely reflect that business as it is projected online.
Take less time worrying about fonts and your bookmarking feature, and more time thinking about how your client sees your data. It is endless fun, and will create conversations with your clients that you never dreamed you'd have!


text: FMNTech 2 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Hi, Running OS X 10.8.5 on the client-MacBook Pro, with client version 10.1.0 (221). I wanted to change the hostname of the OS X system. After changing the name, uninstalling and re-installing the Retrospect client - all with the provided packages, the old client name keeps showing up in the Retrospect client. I have deleted the old client from the 'Configure Clients' window on the Server Windows (8.5.0 (136) ), changed the DNS name on our DNS server, cleared the ARP cache on the client system and on the DNS server. I have also looked for a Retrospect Preferences file on the client but have not found one. I re-install the client and the old hostname (Client Name) shows up; no matter what I do I cannot seem to change the hostname in the Retrospect Client. I really don't want to be forced to re-install the OS and all the apps. Any suggestions? It seems to me there is some preference file that's not getting erased when I use the Uninstall from the client package. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Episode 422
(watch on the WWE Network)
Original Air Date: November 22, 2017
Event Date: November 18, 2017
City: Houston, TX
Venue: Toyota Center
Commentary: Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, Percy Watson
Ring Announcer: Mike Rome
Clips from Takeover: WarGames.
Intro Video
"Resistance" by Powerflo
Match 1
Ruby Riot vs Sonya Deville
(referee: Tom Castor)
Result: Ruby Riot wins via pinfall after a Riot Kick
Time: 7:04 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good match. I liked Deville's repeated attempts at submissions, and I liked Riot's fight and unique maneuvers. Riot did a springboard cannonball senton that I very much enjoyed. I think these two women work very well together, and this was a satisfying way for both of them to say goodbye to NXT.
Clips of Aleister Black vs Velveteen Dream from Takeover.
Clips of Lars Sullivan vs Kassius Ohno.
After Takeover, Lars Sullivan told Kayla Braxton that he has a message for the NXT locker room. They will all be destroyed by his hands if they stand in his way.
Clips from the Fatal Four Way Women's Title match at Takeover.
From Takeover, Kayla Braxton congratulates Ember Moon on her victory. Moon says she has achieved a dream, but it's only the beginning for her.
Clips from the NXT Title match between Andrade Almas and Drew McIntyre.
From Takeover, Drew McIntyre tells Kayla Braxton that he's injured, but he doesn't know how bad it is yet.
Outside the Venue
Last week, Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli confront the Street Profits as the dance on a car. Many words are said, but it's difficult to hear above the wind and shouting.
Highlights from the War Games match.
SAnitY and The Undisputed Era stumble away from the ring after WarGames.
Match 2
United Kingdom Title Match
Johnny Gargano vs Pete Dunne (UK Champ)
(referee: Eddie Orengo)
Result: Pete Dunne wins via pinfall after a Bitter End and retains the UK Title
Time: 9:22 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Very good match. Dunne overpowered Gargano on a number of occasions throughout the match, but Gargano slowly built up a steady offense and began to take control as the match went along. This was a great battle of speed, counters, and power. While this match didn't really change anything for either guy, it continued to show why they are two of the most exciting wrestlers in NXT (or wherever Pete Dunne is considered to be right now).
Show Impressions
Like most of the post-Takeover episode, this was worth it just for the matches. You can skip everything else and not miss anything important, but missing these matches is something you don't want to do.
Match of the Night
UK Title Match
Not Dunne's best title defense, but a great match regardless.

Scripture: Lectionary # 260: Isaiah 50:4-9. Psalm 67:8-10.21-22.31.33-34.
Matthew 26:14-25
Spy Wednesday is sometimes attached to this day in Holy Week. It shows us
the intrigue that was behind the betrayal of Jesus through Judas Iscariot.
We have Matthew's version today which is quite appropriate since this is
the year of Matthew for Gospel proclamations throughout the liturgical year
on Sundays. Judas had known the places where Jesus would be during the time
of Passover. He would lead the band of those who were to take Jesus and
deliver him over to the chief priest Caiphas and the ones who were anxious
to get rid of him. The place where Jesus prayed was well known to Judas
and it is there in the Garden of Olives called Gethsemane, the "wine press"
that Jesus would be apprehended.
Matthew gives us the dialogue between Jesus and Judas both at the last
supper or Jesus' celebration of the Passover with his disciples and at the
Garden of Olives. We are prepared for this sad narrative of Matthew by the
first reading from Isaiah. It is the third Suffering Servant Song (Isaiah
50:4-9) that we listen to or read on this day. It is accompanied by a
lamentation psalm that has the sentiments proper for this day. Both are
excellent aids for us in prayer as we enter into the sufferings of Jesus
expressed in his prayers as he gathers three of his disciples with him in
Gethsemane. During his agony of his scourging, crowning with thorns, he is
silent and in communion with his Father. He is carrying out the prayer he
gave us at the end of his life, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." (Matthew 26:
The Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary come to mind as we meditate on the
plight of Jesus these sorrowful days. We can set aside a few minutes to
pray these mysteries or as we follow a Way of the Cross. We have seen how
Judas Iscariot has become a part of the process of Jesus' capture that
leads to his sufferings and death. The others, the eleven, though sharing
in the distress of Jesus will eventually depart from him because of their
fears. Where do I fit in among them?
The reading from Isaiah and the Psalm prepare us for these mysteries of the
Lord and help us to enter into his interior life of love for us even to the
point of death, death on a Cross. He easily is seen in the Suffering
Servant Songs of which there are four. Though they have been said of the
whole of Israel, the early inspired writers of the New Testament
accommodated them to the person of Jesus in his sufferings and agony.

2012 was the season most Toronto Blue Jays fans would rather forget. Optically, it was one of the worst years in franchise history.
Let's go through a quick recap of everything that went horribly wrong during that 2012 season, shall we? Three of the Blue Jays' starting pitchers went down with major injuries in the span of less than a week. Brandon Morrow had an oblique injury, and then, both Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison went under the knife for Tommy John surgery. Two months into the season, the Blue Jays' rotation was left in shambles.
The club finished with a 73-89 record, a full 20 games out of a playoff spot. Off the field, the Blue Jays were engrossed in controversy with several members on the team. That summer, Yunel Escobar wrote a homophobic slur in his eyeblack. And at the end of the year, after months of rumours about the Red Sox trying to poach John Farrell, he eventually flew the coop to Boston.
Amongst all that mess in 2012, for whatever reason, the Blue Jays decided to acquire J.A. Happ, like that was the transaction that was somehow supposed to stop the bleeding. Back in 2013, Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star dubbed it the "worst deal ever by Alex Anthopoulos".
In order to patch up their depleted rotation, Alex Anthopoulos swung a 10-player deal with the Houston Astros for J.A. Happ, Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter. The Blue Jays sent back Francisco "Coco" Cordero, Ben Francisco, Joe Musgrove, Asher Wojciechowski, David Rollins, Carlos Perez and Kevin Comer.
At the time, I remember feeling pretty indifferent about the trade. Trades involving that much personnel usually involve some sort of sexy prospect or a high-impact player going one way or another. Unfortunately, that particular transaction had none of those things.
The salaries between the Major Leaguers involved in the deal were essentially a wash. If I remember correctly, the Astros took on the rest of Cordero's $4.5 million salary and Francisco's $1.5 million, while the Jays picked up the remainder of Lyon's $5.5 million contract.
Sure, J.A. Happ was an improvement compared to internal starters like Brett Cecil and Aaron Laffey, but did he warrant giving up five prospects for him? Happ had two-plus years of team control remaining, so even though he wasn't going to help the Jays compete in 2012, at least he could be pencilled in as a mid-rotation starter for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
But that's not what happened. At least, not right away. The Blue Jays acquired Happ under the pretences that he'd be a part of their starting rotation, but he began his tenure in Toronto as a reliever. Yes, the Blue Jays used Happ out of the bullpen during his first four appearances.
It wasn't until Brett Cecil went on the disabled list that a rotation spot opened up for Happ. He started six games down the stretch of the 2012 campaign but finished the year on the DL with a fractured foot.
Then, the whirlwind 2012 offseason unfolded.
All of a sudden, the Blue Jays went from the laughingstock of the American League to a World Series favourite. The horror of the 2012 season was a distant memory as the team pulled off one of the most exciting offseasons in franchise history.
The Blue Jays had a minor problem, though. After acquiring three starting pitchers in two separate blockbuster trades – R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle – Happ was at the bottom of the Blue Jays' starting depth chart. Despite the Blue Jays giving up a whole lot to get Happ at the 2012 trade deadline, he slotted in as the club's sixth starter behind Brandon Morrow and Ricky Romero.
However, an injury to Romero led to an opening for Happ and he broke camp as the team's fifth starter. The Blue Jays avoided arbitration with Happ and re-signed him prior to the start of the 2013 season. The club added an option year to his final year of arbitration, which potentially secured him through the 2015 season.
Later that year, Happ was struck on the head by a line drive and miraculously returned to the club in early August and finished out the 2013 season under his own volition. Happ's 2014 season was nothing special, but he made it through the full schedule, racking up 158 innings in 30 starts. The Blue Jays then traded him to the Seattle Mariners for Michael Saunders during the 2014 offseason.
Looking back, nobody really laments the Happ trade from 2012. Was anyone begging the Blue Jays to clutch onto prospects like Musgrove or Wojciechowski? At the time, the club didn't part with any of their Top 10 prospects. Giving up five lottery tickets may have seemed like a worthwhile gamble.
Musgrove ultimately developed into a decent reliever and looks to be the most successful of the crop of players the Blue Jays parted with in the trade. After a brief Major League stint, Wojciechowski is toiling in Triple-A with the Orioles. Rollins is playing in Independent League Baseball, Perez is with his third Major League team and Comer is in Triple-A with the Tigers.
If anything, it wasn't the quality of prospects the Blue Jays gave up, it was the quantity. Wiping five players off the board in a trade for a mid-rotation starter is almost sacrilege in today's era of prospect hoarding. While most of those players sent to Houston didn't amount to very much, one wonders whether including them in the Happ deal precluded the Jays from using those prospects in a bigger or better deal.
Ultimately, I think Anthopoulos was looking at the long view when the Jays went out and unexpectedly reeled in Happ ahead of the 2012 trade deadline. Both Drabek and Hutchison were gone with major injuries for at least one year and the club needed to fill that starting depth somehow.
Happ was rumoured to be a target of the Blue Jays during the Roy Halladay trade negotiations with the Phillies, and as we all know, once Anthopoulos had his sights set on a trade target, he usually acquired them … even if it was years after the fact.
In the end, this trade worked for the Blue Jays, not really in the first phase, but more so in the second one. Happ stated one of the reasons why he re-signed with the Jays during the 2015 offseason was because of the relationship he developed with pitching coach, Pete Walker.
But given where the Blue Jays were in the standings at the time and the calibre of players involved in that deal, can you think of a more underwhelming trade that involved that many bodies? I can't.

Plug-in Hybrids Might not Need New Power Plants
A new study by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory looked at the impact that plug-in hybrids (and indirectly, electric cars) might have on the US electricity grid in the next few decades. They found that, as they say, timing is everything: If the cars were recharged after 10 P.M. there might not be a need for new power plants (in their "high-demand" scenario, 8 new plants are required).
This means that we would get the net benefit from the removal of all these gasoline and diesel vehicles without much more pollution coming from the grid. Actually, we hope that by that time any new generation built will be clean (wind, wave, solar, geothermal, etc).What if the timing was bad? The researchers looked at what would happen if all these vehicles were plugged in at 5 P.M. (at 6 kW of power on average, with a 25 percent market penetration by 2020) and found that up to 160 new power plants would have to be built. That might still make sense if many of those are clean and if it means millions less fossil-fuel powered cars on the road (someone would have to do the math), but it definitely would be sub-optimal.
Of course, we can't assume that people would plug their cars at night without any incentives or ways to balance out the inconvenience, but we don't think that would be a show-stopper.
Smart-metering could make the electricity rates vary almost in real time based on the supply-demand situation, and programmable chargers could be set to only charge cars between certain hours, or when rates are below a certain level. You wouldn't need to get up late at night and manually go plug the car; just plug it whenever, and the charger will do the rest.
Fully electric cars would of course need more power than plug-ins, but by using smart-charging and smart-metering we could use the power that we already have more efficiently. For example, have cars start charging whenever we're producing more than we're using (day or night). This might be a very windy or sunny day and wind and solar farms are producing more power than can be used.
Of course at some point new power generation will be needed, but if it is clean and internal combustion cars are replaced, it could still be a big gain.

A template to fight addiction in Punjab
By Ruth Dreifuss and Anand Grover
After years of denial and hesitation, Punjab has at last taken the first step towards addressing the opioid crisis currently confronting the state. The decision taken last month by the Government of Punjab to open "Outpatient Opioid Assisted Treatment" (OOAT) centres constitutes an evidence-based, compassionate approach for people struggling with dependence — and shows what a health-oriented approach to drug use may look like on a national scale.
OOAT centres are being set up in the three districts of Amritsar, Taran Taran and Moga, and will be expanded to other areas in the state. They will provide a range of services to heroin/opioid-dependent persons, including counselling, peer support, referral, follow-up and, most importantly, pharmacological therapy using Buprenorphine, which is an internationally accepted Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) for treating dependence, recommended by the World Health Organization, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and scientific bodies.

Kodi Titan Skin
The Kodi Titan Skin is built into Kodi, so it is easy to install. It consists of a rather unique home screen, using banner like images as navigation items spread over two pages. When you hover over these objects, it displays some of your media art in the background. It also has it's own spotlight feature where if you press the up arrow when hovering over something on the top row such as movies, it brings up an interface which gives you a list of the movies, as well the poster art, the description, run time and genre which is very useful. This also works on the bottom row items if you press the down arrow.
I do find Titan a little hard to navigate through, especially when looking through the spotlight, sometimes I have a little trouble returning to the home menu but this may be due to doing the testing on a keyboard. It functions really well and all of the menus load really fast, so in general it is a fast performing skin. I don't think the appearance of this skin is one for me, it doesn't look very minimalist which is what I usually go for, however you may think differently.
These instructions assume you are installing from Kodi V17 and the default Estuary skin.
- Go into Settings (The cog in the top centre of the home screen)
- Select "Interface Settings"
- Make sure you're in the Skin section, and then on the right, select the "Skin" option
- Choose "Get More…" on the right
- Scroll down and look for Titan
- Let it install!

The truth is that I was not paying attention to what she was saying. My mind was "connected" to my own personal network, and thoughts on different subjects were floating around like a bank of fish in the sea. Not even the traffic noise could interfere with my self-centred thoughts.
My friend was talking about trivial topics and I "assumed" I already knew where her conversation was leading to. I was wrong. But my focus was on my own interests and talking about frivolous things was not part of my plans for the day.
I had no time to waste on unimportant talking and after all, I already knew everything she had to say. Or at least, that was what I thought.
She suddenly stopped, looked at me and said. "I think that would be a good solution, don´t you agree?"
I stood there feeling a cold shiver running down my spine, since she seemed to be waiting for an answer. Continue reading

|The Big Setup
| :Mine and Dine
Ham 'Em High is the fifth episode of Angry Birds, featuring a wild west theme divided into three themes with 15 levels each.
Ham 'Em High is played in a old western style theme, with the Pigs wearing cowboy hats and sombreroes. In this chapter the Pigs break free from their captivity in the last chapter, and steal the eggs with a rope, taking them (and the Birds) to the Wild West. This chapter also makes up the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth themes of the original game, containing levels 192-240. Since the Theme 14 update, levels that require a "like" to Facebook are added, in the style of Hogs and Kisses, Go Green, Get Lucky and Moon Festival from Angry Birds Seasons.
The following is from The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, as told by the Mighty Eagle:
There's no time to lose. Those green varmints have lassoed the eggs and dragged them all the way to the open range of Desert Island. Prepare yourself for a showdown at high noon, egg-slinger!

- Before the episode colors were removed in a update, the representative color they used in Ham 'Em High is tan. (but in the PC version, it was orange)
- The title of the episode is a reference to the 1968 film, Hang 'Em High.
- In the intro, there are pigs wearing fedoras and holding whips, thus making a reference to Indiana Jones.
- This is the first "Angry Birds" episode to use a Pig related pun as its title. The second is Bad Piggies.
- In the original introduction for this episode prior to the graphical upgrade, the Yellow Bird doesn't appear. In the updated introduction, the Blue Bird doesn't appear as well. From the 2.3 update both of them appear now.
- Ham 'Em High is the final episode to use the original character designs on the episode thumbnail, as starting from Mine and Dine, the updated Pig design would be used instead.
- This is the first and currently only episode in the original Angry Birds game that contains levels that require a "like" on Facebook to unlock, although hitting the "Like" button is all that needs to be done.
- This is the only episode where Foreman Pig is seen in the cutscene where Corporal Pig is defeated. Other times, he is not there.

Restless legs syndrome has been associated with numerous conditions involving systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation. (3)
One review paper published in 2012 investigated health conditions that were reported to cause or exacerbate RLS symptoms, and found that 95% of the 38 different health conditions that were strongly associated with RLS have an inflammation or immune component. (4) These conditions include Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, sleep apnea, diabetes, and depression.
As further evidence, an elevated blood level of C-reactive protein (a marker of systemic inflammation) has been associated with increased RLS severity. (5) A small crossover trial found that a hydrocortisone infusion, which reduces systemic inflammation, reduced RLS symptoms. (6)
Researchers have proposed three potential mechanisms to explain the association between RLS and inflammatory or autoimmune states: direct autoimmune attack on the nervous system; genetic factors that could predispose an individual to RLS and be triggered by inflammation or autoimmunity; and iron deficiency caused by inflammation, which I'll talk more about below.
What to do: If your RLS is a symptom of underlying systemic inflammation or immune dysregulation, the goal should be to find and treat the root cause. As I've mentioned many times in the past, gut infections are often the culprit—even if you don't have noticeable digestive symptoms—so get your gut tested.
If you already have a diagnosed inflammatory or immune condition such as those I mentioned above, the best first step you can take is to adopt a "low-inflammatory" diet and lifestyle. This means eating a nutrient-rich, low-toxin diet based on whole foods; getting enough sleep every night; prioritizing stress management; and incorporating regular movement into your day.

Description - Pisces Girl - Dress Up Games
Pisces Girl : Pisces is the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac, which originates from the Pisces constellation. In western astrology this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation because of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Pisces is considered a "feminine", negative (introvert) sign.[2] It is also considered a water sign and one of the four mutable signs. Pisces has been traditionally ruled by the planet Jupiter, but since its discovery, Neptune has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Being the twelfth sign, Pisces is associated with the astrological twelfth house.

Lawyers, Guns and Money
The Pentagon recently issued a memorandum with the less‐than‐snappy title "Uniform Code of Military Justice Jurisdiction Over Department of Defense Civilian Employees, Department of Defense Contractor Personnel, and Other Persons Serving With or Accompanying the Armed Forces Overseas During Declared War and in Contingency Operations."
Despite the cumbersome title, the memo, which gives military commanders authority over civilian contractors in their areas of operation, is an effort to close what many see as an accountability loophole for private military contractors.
Effectively, the new rules extend the Uniform Code of Military Justice — the same military legal code U.S. forces personnel operate under — to private contractors.
The memorandum outlines how commanders should respond to civilian contractors who break federal laws and grants them court‐martial authority in cases where the Department of Justice declines to initiate criminal proceedings.
The memo puts a little meat on the bones of a change to federal law.
On Oct. 17, 2006, the UCMJ was amended to extend its jurisdiction over persons serving with or accompanying U.S. armed forces in the field. Previously, contractors would only fall under the code if Congress declared war, but a one‐sentence section of budget legislation passed that day replaced the word "war" with the phrase "declared war or a contingency operation."
Technically, this means that contractors, like U.S. personnel, can be disciplined not just for felony crimes like murder that exist in the general justice system, but for military offenses such as talking back to an officer, viewing pornography in a country where it is forbidden or even wearing a uniform incorrectly.
Whether giving the military the authority to prosecute contractors for mouthing off, surfing adult Web sites or being sartorially inelegant like millions of their fellow Americans back home will represent a victory for accountability remains to be seen.
More importantly, it is unclear how effective the change can be. In 2006 it was hailed by many advocates of greater regulation over the industry. Peter Singer of the Brookings Institution wrote that "contractors' 'get out of jail free' card may have been torn to shreds."
But the provision has not yet been tested in court, so whether it will hold up is anyone's guess. Even before the amendment passed, one military law journal noted: "Attempts to use the military justice system to try civilian contractors are incompatible with the tradition of status‐based military jurisdiction as well as the current Supreme Court's interpretation of the Sixth Amendment."
The International Peace Operations Association, a PMC industry trade group, noted at the time: "The overwhelming majority of private sector employees supporting Department of Defense programs are not even American; they come from countries such as Afghanistan, India, Iraq, the United Kingdom and scores of others. Requiring all nationalities to be under U.S. military law could be internationally contentious, and even more difficult to apply.
"Application of the UCMJ or any other disciplinary structure requires closer examination of the relationship to other applicable U.S., host nation, and international laws," the group concluded.
Indeed the wording of the Pentagon memo, which seeks to provide an alternative to prosecution by federal civilian authorities who are often not in a position to investigate war‐zone incidents, shows the ambiguities inherent in allowing both processes to go forward side‐by‐side.
"While the (Department of Justice) notification and decision process is pending, commanders and military criminal investigators should continue to address the alleged crime. Commanders should ensure that any preliminary military justice procedures that would be required in support of the exercise of UCMJ jurisdiction over civilians continue to be accomplished during the concurrent (Department of Justice) notification process. Commanders should be prepared to act, as appropriate, should possible U.S. federal criminal jurisdiction prove to be unavailable to address the alleged criminal behavior."
Commanders and investigators should indeed "be prepared to act." Considering that the current U.S. Justice Department appears unconcerned about past and ongoing federal offenses such as use of torture for interrogation or illegal wiretapping of American citizens, how likely is it that it will prosecute contractors if they commit a federal‐level offense?
Moreover, as anyone who has ever actually been in the military knows, the UCMJ is hardly a paragon of jurisprudence. Under it you go to jail for saying, "That's a stupid order." What would happen if a driver hauling freight for a contractor was prosecuted under UCMJ for having a gun for self‐defense, even though they are not supposed to? How long would it be before the cost of hiring such a driver would double or triple?
The UCMJ change also creates a legal conundrum for U.S. officers and soldiers. Who reports contractors' crimes? What is the responsibility of soldiers if they do not report a contractor — even though they may have no idea who they are or who they are working for? Remember that under UCMJ, not reporting a war crime is also punishable. As contractors are not under the military chain of command, where does this responsibility lie?
Finally, the new UCMJ authority does not include Department of State contractors. So contractors working in Iraq for DynCorp, Blackwater and Triple Canopy under State's worldwide personal protective services contract would be excluded. But these firms — unaffected by the UCMJ change — have been involved in some of the highest‐profile PMC incidents in Iraq, such as the shootings in Baghdad last September by Blackwater contractors.
The UCMJ extension is a solution that might work in an episode of JAG, but in the real world it seems problematic at best.

Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden denied accusations that he was working for a foreign government when he stole countless classified documents detailing U.S. surveillance programs and efforts to gather information on world leaders.
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden denied accusations that he was working for a foreign government when he stole countless classified documents detailing U.S. surveillance programs and efforts to gather information on world leaders.
In an interview with The New Yorker, published Tuesday evening on the magazine's website, Snowden said claims that he may have been working for the Russians as a spy were "absurd."
On NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, called Snowden a "thief." Rogers said he believed somebody must have helped Snowden steal the documents.
Rogers rejected the notion that it was a coincidence that Snowden eventually found refuge in Russia. But the lawmaker offered no proof that Snowden was working in concert with Russian intelligence.
Snowden told the magazine that he "clearly and unambiguously acted alone, with no assistance from anyone, much less a government." He said the allegations wouldn't "stick," adding that they were false and that "the American people are smarter than politicians think they are."
The CIA's Counterintelligence Center has been conducting an exhaustive investigation to determine whether Snowden had help or whether someone assisted him unwittingly. So far, the CIA and the FBI have not turned up evidence that another country recruited Snowden to take the documents.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also did not rule out that Snowden received assistance. "He may well have," she said on "Meet the Press."
Speaking from Moscow, Snowden said, "It's not the smears that mystify me," and wondered why media outlets would report the congressman's claims, because they amounted to baseless speculation.
Snowden said he never intended to make Russia his temporary home. He said he tried to go to Cuba when the State Department canceled his passport. He said the United States has failed to demonstrate that the disclosures have harmed U.S. national security.
On Thursday, Snowden is expected to answer more questions in an online chat and to respond to President Barack Obama's recent speech on reforms at the NSA. The chat will be hosted by a group known as the Courage Foundation, which describes itself as a trust established to provide legal support to journalistic sources.
Snowden has accused Feinstein and Rogers of not providing adequate oversight of the NSA.

Right now I'm in South East Asia, not staying at a 5-star hotel but a very modest 3-star.
There is a peep-hole in the door which isn't unusual, but it's largely superfluous as the 6 inch crack in the wall next to the door offers a much better view. The wiring around my bedside table lamp isn't what you'd call safe either.
Without enough money to make the wiring insulated, or the walls hole-proof, this hotel has made a decision that many New Zealand hotels refuse to... Internet access is free and unmetered. They just gave me the wifi password on check in and I was on my way.
And it's GOOD! I've not only read email and used the web, but made VoIP calls to home. It would probably even have been good enough to stream NetFlix if it was available here.
They are getting it right.
As opposed to the hotel I stayed in in Auckland the previous night. That hotel didn't have free Internet, I had to login through a portal and they wanted to charge me for my usage.
A colleague and I visited four hotels in this city yesterday as part of a scouting mission for a future tech conference. They were all 5-star establishments and parts of well-known chains. Without exception, unmetered Internet was included in the room rates. While not the absolute deal-breaker, unmetered guest room Internet is something that is a major factor in venue consideration.
New Zealand hotels are getting this wrong.
When you stay in a hotel, you get water and electricity as part of your room rate. If a hotel tried to charge extra for such amenities, their business would not hang around too long. It should be the same with Internet access.
There is little difference between the Internet and the electricity and water we use. Bill it as such. It's not a Snickers bar, a can of Pringles or an oddly sized bottle of gin from the minibar.
If you have to charge, and I think it's ridiculous, then build the cost into room rates. Only offer rates with no Internet if you also offer cheaper room rates with no electricity. People can after all bring their own torches or candles. That's what hotels force us to do when they charge $30 a day for metered Internet.
So today I'd like to make a stand. I'm calling on all New Zealand hotel and event facilities to offer unmetered Internet as part of their quoted rates. I'll be working with my colleagues at InternetNZ to turn this into a bigger campaign. Unmetered Internet access will also become one of the criteria which we use to assess hotels that InternetNZ may wish to do business with.
Better access to the Internet for travellers is one small thing we can work on that will go towards our mission of actively promoting an Open Internet.

Businessman Randy Perkins pumped $3.7 million of his own money into his bid for the Palm Beach-Treasure Coast District 18 congressional seat and won Tuesday's Democratic primary. But some of Palm Beach County's other big self-financers fell flat.
• In the six-candidate Republican primary for the same congressional seat, physician Mark Freeman put in $1.6 million of his own money and finished a distant third while investor Carl Domino tapped his personal accounts for $528,898 and came in fourth. Domino spent $1.2 million of his own money on a losing 2014 race for the same seat.
• State Rep. Irving Slosberglost a Democratic state Senate primary to Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Atlantis, after putting nearly $1.9 million of his own money into the race.
Ten years ago, Slosberg spent $2.8 million of his own money (that's more than $3.3 million in today's dollars) on a losing Senate primary.
• Trial lawyer Michael Steinger spent $665,000 of his own money on a Democratic state Senate campaign but lost a Tuesday primary to state Rep. Bobby Powell, D-Riviera Beach.
• While Irv Slosberg suffered a costly defeat, his daughter Emily Slosberg won a Democratic primary for her father's House seat after putting $188,000 of her own money into the race. She faces only a write-in opponent in November.
• Democrat David Silvers spent $130,000 of his own money to win a primary in mid-county state House District 87. Silvers faces only a write-in opponent in November.

What to look for in a Business Coach?
It is important to engage a coach with relevant experience in working in and on similar projects and businesses. It is more than mere theory and "best practice" – it is having been through situations personally and being able to draw on past knowledge of successes and mistakes. Typically, the business coach will understand the many facets of running a business. Their experience should include business planning & strategy, sales & marketing, finance & administration, operations and human resources. A coach's interpersonal skills are probably most critical. They must be capable of listening to you and your team, be able to quickly analyse issues and prioritise areas for improvement. Therefore, the relationship between the client and the coach is a key element for success. Combining the expertise of a business coach with your understanding of the industry and the market in which you operate is a sure recipe for success.
Our Business Coaching Process:
Discovery Phase: Initially there will be a stage of gathering facts and getting an understanding of the issues at hand. Allocating staff time is vital to gain as in depth view as possible across all your business functions.
Prioritising Change : Once there is a clear understanding of the issues there will need to be a prioritisation effort to ensure the most important tasks are undertaken first. That is, the ones that will make the most impact as quickly as possible.
Developing Actions: Next, actions against each of the problem areas will be developed. Achieving a quick turnaround in resolving problems means taking decisive measurable steps allocated to individuals with specific time constraints. The commitment of all involved – you, your team and your business coach as a key driver is fundamental to obtaining successful outcomes.
Ongoing Guidance: Change will often cause stress and conflict and your business coach will work with you through the difficult situations that you may encounter. You will be able to leverage your coach's experience in dealing with people as they are tested and move outside their comfort zone.View fee structure

Current Research
The Clinical Laboratory Services Core collaborates with investigators from across the NIDDK Clinical Research Program to provide sensitive, inexpensive, and reproducible analyses as well as develop new assays, supporting a wide range of clinical studies. These analyses include measurement of gut hormones, adipokines, oxidative stress markers, cytokines, and other biomarkers in biologic fluids. The lab does extensive validation of all assays before conducting routine sample analyses of clinical specimens. Once assays have been validated, the lab coordinates with clinical research investigators to establish a charge-back fee structure to support on-going routine specimen analyses, charging for the cost of supplies only. Additionally, the lab works to reduce costs of assays by centralizing purchase of common supplies used in specimen analyses and by taking advantage of bulk purchasing discounts yielding savings which are passed along to the investigators utilizing the lab's services. Assays are uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the investigator, thus saving on sample volume and ensuring cost effectiveness in all cases.
The Clinical Laboratory Services Core also provides a core service which allows for simple access to human sample acquisition, processing, tracking, and storage in accordance with current legislation. The acquisition process involves preparation of tubes for blood draw to achieve the lowest levels of degradation. Samples are processed within an hour of blood collection to ensure thermal preservation. Biospecimens are tracked using a web-based database and customized to provide quick, reliable, and accurate accounting for clinical specimens stored with the Clinical Laboratory Services Core.

Washington state
Bechtel leads the team designing, constructing, and commissioning the world's largest and most technically sophisticated radioactive waste treatment plant at the Department of Energy Hanford Site in Washington state. This first-of-a-kind project will use vitrification to transform 53 million gallons (200 million liters) of radioactive and chemical waste into an immobile glass form. The waste stored in 177 aging underground tanks accumulated between 1944 and 1989, when plutonium and other nuclear materials were produced for nuclear defense.
South Carolina
Bechtel is part of the liquid waste contracting team at the complex that is remediating radioactive and hazardous waste located in underground tanks at the DOE's Savannah River Site. The team is closing waste tanks, reducing the single greatest environmental risk in the state of South Carolina and producing vitrified waste in the Defense Waste Processing Facility, a Bechtel-designed and constructed facility.
Bechtel led the team that managed and operated the large, complex Yucca Mountain project for the DOE, conducting the scientific, engineering, and technical work necessary to determine the mountain's suitability as a repository for U.S. spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
