Spray can refer to:
A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed near the Sun's surface. It involves a very broad spectrum of emissions, requiring an energy release of up to 6 × 1025joules of energy (roughly the equivalent of 160,000,000,000 megatons of TNT, over 25,000 times more energy than released from the impact of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 with Jupiter). Flares are often, but not always, accompanied by a spectacular coronal mass ejection. The flare ejects clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms through the corona of the sun into space. These clouds typically reach Earth a day or two after the event. The term is also used to refer to similar phenomena in other stars, where the term stellar flare applies.
Solar flares affect all layers of the solar atmosphere (photosphere, chromosphere, and corona), when the plasma medium is heated to tens of millions of Kelvin, while the cosmic-ray-like electrons, protons, and heavier ions are accelerated to near the speed of light. They produce radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays, although most of the energy is spread over frequencies outside the visual range and for this reason the majority of the flares are not visible to the naked eye and must be observed with special instruments. Flares occur in active regions around sunspots, where intense magnetic fields penetrate the photosphere to link the corona to the solar interior. Flares are powered by the sudden (timescales of minutes to tens of minutes) release of magnetic energy stored in the corona. The same energy releases may produce coronal mass ejections (CME), although the relation between CMEs and flares is still not well established.
The Spray was an 36-foot-9-inch (11.20 m) oyster sloop which Joshua Slocum rebuilt and single-handedly sailed around the world, the first voyage of its kind. The Spray was lost with Captain Slocum aboard sometime on or after November 14, 1909, after sailing from Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, bound for South America.
In 1892, a friend, Captain Eben Pierce, offered Slocum a ship that "wants some repairs". Slocum went to Fairhaven, Massachusetts to find that the "ship" was a rotting old oyster sloop named Spray, propped-up in a field. Despite the major overhaul of the ship, Slocum kept her name Spray, noting, "Now, it is a law in Lloyd's that the Jane repaired all out of the old until she is entirely new is still the Jane."
Its days as a fishing boat, probably as a Chesapeake Bay oysterman, had come to an end by 1885, and it was a derelict, a slowly deteriorating hulk sitting in a makeshift ship's-cradle in a seaside meadow on Poverty Point in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, when Captain Eben Pierce of that town offered it to Joshua Slocum as a gift. Slocum came to Fairhaven to look at the Spray (sorry sight that it was), and he undertook to repair and refit it over the next thirteen months.

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Members" is not recognized
Aerial was a Canadian pop and rock band from Toronto, Ontario during the 1970s.
Liverpool was launched in 1973 as The Beatles first ever Beatles tribute act,with Brian Miessner on lead vocal and bass, Laurie Currie on vocals and drums, David Moyles on guitar and Rick Pearson on vocals and guitar.This original version of the band played the first ever "Beatles Festival" in New York City in 1974. The group also played the famed "Whiskey A Go Go Club" in Los Angeles the same year. As Liverpool they had a Canadian top 25 hit with "Dolly" written by Brian Miessner and produced by Ian Thomas. The band toured in Canada and the U.S. as a four piece until 1975 when Malcolm Buchanan was brought on board to play multiple keyboards allowing the group to play songs from Sgt. Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour for their growing fan base. Further personnel changes occurred in 1976 when Gary O'Conner (Gary O') was added on guitar and vocals. It was at this time that original members Dave Moyles and Rick Pearson left the group. The band changed their name in 1977 to Aerial as they were anxious to get on with their recording career as a group.
Aerials (or more commonly airs) are a type of skateboarding trick usually performed on half-pipes, pools or quarter pipes where there is a vertical wall with a transition (curved surface linking wall and ground) available. Aerials usually combine rotation with different grabs. Most of the different types of grabs were originally aerial tricks that were performed in ditches, empty pools, and vert ramps before flatground aerials became common. Aerials can be executed by ollieing just as the front wheels reach the lip of a ramp, or can be executed simply by lifting the front wheels over the coping (or lip). The former is preferable on shallower ramps where the skateboarder has less speed to lift them above the ramp.

I'm Nancy Madore, author of the Legacy of the Watchers series. This website is where I post my various articles and announcements, including my new blog, Bridging the Gap. It's also a great place to get in touch with me.
Most of you know me from my bestselling Enchanted series with Harlequin. In Enchanted Dreams, the third book of that series, I began to explore the eclectic world of the paranormal. Calling forth aliens, vampires, fairies and even ghosts, I produced some pretty wild stories that were often as horrifying as they were erotic. Imagine E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey merging with Stephen King's The Shining, and you have the general idea. My readers – many of whom set store by Harlequin's time honored happy endings – didn't know what to think. In retrospect, I guess an erotic encounter with a creature who wants to bite off your head afterwards miight not be everyone's cup of tea. But I was hooked. My little foray into the science fiction genre had opened up a whole new world for me.
Meanwhile, I had been harboring a life-long interest in ancient history, theology and, particularly, mythology. Not only do I find the ancient myths fascinating, but I'm intrigued by how they might have come about. This is why the Mesopotamian era is my favorite period in history. Many people don't realize this, but ancient Mesopotamia gave us a lot more than just the Bible. Our most controversial ideas and beliefs came from that era. From them, we inherited the concept of one God, a devil, demons, angels, giants, djinn, ghosts, aliens and even vampires. I think of these concepts (such as they are today) as speculative-science fiction, but I can't help appreciating their historical value and their incredible staying power. The origins of these myths are the building blocks of my Legacy of the Watchers series. The primary story takes place in the present day, though the reader is taken back to the ancient world from time to time to explore how (and why) these myths might have begun.
Something interesting I've noticed in the course of writing this series is how relevant the ancient world still is to our world today. Our religions, our wars – even our greatest fears – all have their origin there. As I go back and forth in time, I continue to be surprised by how closely our worlds are linked. Maybe I've been doing this too long, but the further I get into my series the more these myths are starting to make sense. By book three the series is practically writing itself; or, I should say, the ancient myths are dictating what will happen next.
I guess (officially) this series would be a cross between historical fiction and speculative fiction, though it's hard to categorize because it has other elements of science fiction too. And as well, it's a mystery series. There will be six books in all, taking the reader from ancient Mesopotamia to Armageddon.
You can read about each of my books individually by clicking on the links listed under the heading, 'My Books,' which is in the left-hand column near the top of this page. Below that is a column called 'Random Musings,' which lists my various articles expressing my thoughts as I write. I also have some guest blogs and other stuff in there too.

The Challenge – Decades of conflict and unrest have forced many Afghans into lives of poverty with few or no places to turn for help to feed their families, obtain medicine, find support during times of scarcity, or send their children to school. Worsening the situation, many families also have a child, parent, or relative who has become handicapped due to the dangerous conditions still prevalent in this war-torn country.
The Bayat Foundation Responds – In response to these challenges, the Bayat Foundation – with the support of its generous U.S. donors, Bayat Family funds, and its partner NGOs in Afghanistan – has established a number of initiatives to support families in need. In winter 2008-09, the Foundation initiated a program to provided Winter Aid packages consisting of items such as flour, oil, blankets, and clothing to needy families in Kabul, Faryab, Sar-e-pul, Balkh, Badakshan, Kundoz, Baglan, Ghazni, Khost, Nangarhar, Badghis, Zabul, Paktia, Heraat, Farah, Kapisa and Spin Boldak.

ShopRite CIO Named to Shopper Marketing Hall of Fame
Cheryl Williams, Chief Information Officer at Wakefern Food Corp., has been named to Shopper Marketing and the Path to Purchase Institute's Hall of Fame.
The largest retailer-owned co-operative in the U.S., Wakefern encompasses 356 supermarkets operating under the ShopRite and PriceRite banners in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The operation includes 85 corporate-owned locations and 50-odd independent grocers who own anywhere from one to 30 stores.
A 20-year Wakefern veteran who joined the company in 1996 as a manager of retail systems, Williams has held key positions in both technology (vice president of digital commerce and innovation) and marketing (as vice president) during her distinguished career. She was named CIO in late 2015, which put her in charge of coordinating technology on both the corporate and retail fronts.
Williams led the teams that launched Wakefern's e-commerce initiatives back in 2002 and its first mobile application in 2009; both efforts made ShopRite a pioneer in the supermarket channel.
Williams and two other industry standouts — Tyson Foods VP of Shopper & Category Development Christopher Witte and E&J Gallo VP of Off-Premise Customer Development & Category Management Herbert Smith — will be inducted at a special ceremony during the Shopper Marketing Summit in New York from March 27-29.

Farming plays a comparatively strong role. But it would no longer be correct to classify Lower Saxony as an agricultural state. Hanover Fair and the CeBIT computer fair have made the Hanover area the world's leading trade fair location. Universities steeped in tradition in Brunswick and Göttingen, the medical school in Hanover and numerous extra-mural research institutes, reflect the close links between academia and business.

An Integrative Medicine Doctor Explains Why You're Tired & Anxious
Dr. Robert Rountree is a family medicine physician; author; and expert in nutrition, medical herbology, and mind-body therapy. In simple terms, he knows a lot about achieving optimal health by way of both conventional medicine and alternative practices. At revitalize 2018, mbg founder and CEO Jason Wachob joined him on the main stage to talk about two of the most common symptoms getting in the way of us feeling our best: fatigue and anxiety.
When it comes to our energy levels, nothing is more important than our mitochondrial health. The mitochondria are small energy centers inside our cells that help us convert the energy from the food we eat into usable energy for the body (in the form of ATP). Dr. Rountree dropped some crucial knowledge about what happens to us when our mitochondria get burnt out—and what we can do to get back on track, including why stress is both a symptom and cause of dysfunction in our mitochondria.
Did you know that, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders affect 18 percent of the population? Even more staggering is the fact that only 40 percent of those people receive treatment. One of the most groundbreaking areas of research on anxiety has to do with an imbalance in the endocannabinoid system. What's that, you ask? Well, you've probably heard of CBD and THC, and the endocannabinoid system is the larger system in the body that these compounds interact with. Many people refer to it as an "adaptogenic system" or even the "master regulatory system" of the body because it plays such a large role in how we respond to stress and pain. It explains why CBD is beneficial for disorders like anxiety, headaches, and seizures.

Coming up on five years ago, my wife Shannon asked me to make her a cake for her birthday. The loving husband that I am, I said "sure – no problem, I'll go get some cake mix …" and she stopped me right there. "Oh no Gary … I want you to MAKE me a cake". Okay … So I printed a recipe off of the internet (because everything is true on the internet) and I made my way to the grocery store.
Fascinating place … the grocery store. Not sure if you've ever been in one, they're remarkable! fascinating place... the grocery store
I looked around and saw this big sign that said DAIRY. I got all excited. I found milk, eggs, and butter. They were all on my list of needed items.
I looked around again and saw this big sign that said BAKING GOODS. I got all excited! I found chocolate, sugar, flour, vanilla extract … but no baking powder. By the way, don't make a cake with baking soda … I will neither confirm nor deny how I got that tidbit of wisdom. Anyway, I did like any good consumer and said to a pimply-faced 15-year-old kid … "Hey kid … there's no baking powder" as I motioned to the empty shelf. He replied that he'd be right back and disappeared behind these two silver doors in the back of the store.
After what seemed like an excruciatingly long wait (it was no less than 5 minutes – but we do live in a microwave society – we want it "hot" and we want it "now"), the kid reappeared, pushing a hand truck with a box on it. He opened the box, handed me baking powder, and began to restock the shelf.
I said thanks, paid for my items, got half-way out in the parking lot, and stopped dead in my tracks.
Stay with me here, because it's about to get interesting …
I realized that I walked in to what could be described as an ANALYTICS data warehouse. I was a data scientist. The ingredients were variables from different tables. I needed to group them, measure them, sort them, and combine them in a certain fashion to help me solve my problem. It was relatively easy for me to find my variables. Nice, big, wide shiny aisles. Big, easy signs for me to navigate throughout the store. Great stuff until ... I needed baking powder.
The pimply-faced kid, when he went behind the silver doors, walked into the ENTERPRISE data warehouse. Data stored for optimal space usage. 3rd normal form. The key, the whole key, and nothing but the key, so help me Codd (it's a database thing).
And if I, the consumer, were to walk behind the silver doors and see boxes stacked floor to ceiling, boxes labeled in incoherent gibberish, I probably would've had to start at BREAD, so I could leave a trail of crumbs to find my way out.
What I realized in that moment was that most IT organizations DO NOT shape data for analytics. Tell me if you've heard this before ... Business says "I can't find any information in the warehouse". IT says "the data's all there". You know what? Both groups are right. The data's all there, but it's not in a fashion that easily consumable for Business to find what they're looking for. IT asks Business to "go behind the silver doors" to find baking powder. Business has no idea how to navigate through the boxes. And both get frustrated. "THIS", I said to myself, "is one of the MAIN reasons organizations have 10x, 20x, 100x the size of the EDW stored OUTSIDE of IT".
It's easy. Talk. Share. But it's hard too. (As an aside, next time we run in to each other, ask me about "core competencies" or "swim lanes" and I'll expound.)
If you're in Business, help IT help you. Work with IT regarding what data you most frequently use to answer questions. Let IT know how you blend it in preparing for analytics. And maybe, just maybe, IT will create you a new table or view that becomes a better launching point for your analytics!
If you're in IT, help Business help you. Work with Business regarding how data can be shaped to more quickly meet their needs. See how Business blends data and TAKE THAT ON. Maybe, just maybe, Business will be able to solve organizational problems in a more timely fashion.
A grocery store is a fascinating place. There's so much applicability when relating it to business process. During my now ever-frequent visits, I've gleaned even more IT, Business, Data, and Analytics insights regarding the grocery store, but you'll have to ask me about them at another time … or if I decide to NOT wait five years to put it down on paper …
Oh – I almost forgot to tell you about the cake! I'll close with this ... my wife Shannon and I are still happily married … for better or for worse … right?Beware the dangers of baking soda!

This is a great analogy. I often struggle for a universal comparison of how IT and Business exist in the same infrastructure, yet somehow don't fully understand each other. It is like any good set of ingredients (a data driven organization), it's all about measurements, timing, methodology and experience. None of which are normally the same for IT, business or recipes. Only through conversation and compromises can we achieve analytics that were though previously achievable. As users of Alteryx, I think we stand at the center of this conversation.
--To the Altases of Analytics, don't shrug off your responsibility.
Thanks @AndrewDataKim for the comments. Like I stated, it's been a constant epiphany for 5 years now. Stay tuned for more from me on my shopping excursion (and other, upcoming blogs) as there's a continuation of the analogy with Data Scientists tactically working with IT - but I better not say too much as I'll "spill the beans" (pun intended, but has nothing to do with the analogy other than beans are bought at a grocery store as well).
As someone who has worked in both the Grocery Business, and who also works heavily with data, this is a very apt analogy. When I worked for vendors in the grocery business, I received a special Vendor's Badge that allowed me to walk into the back room of a grocery store, and re-stock my own product. When I started using Alteryx, I felt as though I had the same freedom. Instead of asking someone else to fill the empty shelves with my product, I could self-serve. It is a win-win for both me and the grocery staff.
Great insight and analogy. You have sparked my interest. I'm on the business side of the house and often struggle understanding how to better organize my data/data naming conventions in such a way that as the project grows, and more items are added, I can navigate back and forth and make sense of everything.
In your analogy above, I'm the shopper-turned back-of-the-store girl and I'm looking for well-written, best practice type of documentation that can help me better organize my 'back-of-the-store' growing warehouse.

And welcome to another edition of Quick Hit Monday. I hope everybody had a great weekend. We are a bit chilly here in good old Cincy getting down to -6 Fahrenheit over the weekend. But, things are warming up. Now when I walk across our deck it doesn't sound like the ice is breaking below my feet. I've got a lot to cover today.... Quick Hit Monday let's get right to it.
Quick hit Monday
I noticed over at fellow blogging buddy, Jason Moore's site, that he has started a new series of interviews entitled PsI Interviews. His first begins with an in-depth interview with Adobe Photoshop senior project manager, Photoshop Hall of Famer, and monster blogger, John Nack. Jason does a great job on his interviews and this one is particularly well done. Be sure to catch Part 2 in the upcoming weeks. I invite you to go check it out. Here is the link. Oh, I forgot to mention. Jason is doing an interview with my buddy, Larry Becker, Executive ditector for NAPP on February 9, 2009. So mark your calendars and check back for this interview.
Also, blogging buddy, Crash Taylor, from England continues his terrific series of interviews with wedding photographers as well. I took a little time over the weekend to get myself caught up on what he's been up to. Your weekly visit to Crash's site -- here is the link -- is always worth it if you're a wedding photographer. Not only are the interviews in depth and insightful but they give a great peek into a wedding photographer's brain and how we think. Pictures, heck yes pictures – always a full compliment with each interview. Before you let this slip your mind -be sure to check it out -- here is the link again.
And speaking of interviews, Kerry at CameraDoJo.com asked me to do a podcast with him earlier this year. I was finally able to oblige Kerry last week. CameraDoJo.com plans to run the podcast tomorrow - Tuesday. Here is a link to the CameraDoJo.com site. I have to say, it was quite a nice conversation. I think when we both looked up at the clock, we were shocked to discover that 90 minutes had expired.
We talked about a lot of different things that I think you will find of interest. We discussed RAW versus JPEG, the RAW variations in the new digital cameras and some strategies on how we might use the different settings when photographing weddings with these new mega-mega pixel cameras.
We also discuss the video capabilities of the new cameras and what some of the possibilities may be. So, tune in tomorrow to CameraDoJo.com [link] and check it out. While you're there, check out Kerry's collection of over 50 more podcasts created over the past several months many of which are just a wealth of knowledge.
Last week seemed to be a busy interview week for me. Scott Sheppard also interviewed me for WPPI radio. This was a much shorter interview - only about 10 minutes long – but you may find it interesting. With WPPI Convention and Trade Show only a few weeks away, there are several photographers who will be speaking and Scott has interviewed many of them. The WPPI Convention is one of the highlights of the year when it comes to wedding/portrait photography – they are expecting 12,000 attendees this year with their biggest trade show ever. It is quite the production and I hope to see many of you there in Las Vegas in mid February. By the way, here's the link to my interview with Scott.
Let me wrap Quick Hit Monday by pointing you to another great website – EpicEdits.com. It's run by my blogging buddy Brian Auer. You know, like you I wish I had more time to cruise the net and take advantage of so much good information that's available out there but, like you, there's only so many hours in the day.

Title: ReGOREgitated Sacrifice
Also known as:
Year: 2008
Genre: Vomit / Gore
Language: English
Runtime: 65 min
Director: Lucifer Valentine 666
Writer: Lucifer Valentine 666
IMDb: N/A
Guided by identical twin demon spirits, the Black Angels of Hell, we see the diabolical depiction of the alternate-paralell dimension of the simultaneous suicide deaths of Kurt Cobain and bulimic porn star Angela Aberdeen; as seen through the mental activity of Angela's journey toward brain death as a result of her self-inflicted death by drowning.
Our thoughts:
Okay, here we are. I copied the plot outline from the official website because I really have no clue what the actual plot is, but if the director feels that's what it is, then so be it. I promised a review of this little film, so that's what I'm gonna give you. This is the second movie in the Lucifer Valentine 666's soon-to-be trilogy about.. vomiting and occasional gore.
I will do this review a bit different. Instead of actually reviewing it, I'm gonna say a couple of things I'd rather want or do than watch this a third time (yes, because of this damn website I had to rewatch it). Okay, here goes: use my own tooth brush to get rid off old man semen from pavement, put needles into my balls, pour acid into a funnel that I have in my butt, swallow razors, get syringes in my eyes and finally, get my teeth pulled out in slow-motion. That's my review for you guys!
Okay, just kidding. I'm immature, I know. Anyway, I have promised a review for this film, and I'll give you one. Even though I don't have alot more to say than I already have here and in my review of his other film, I have to keep a promise. If you saw "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls", you kind of know what to expect from this film. "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" was a movie I dislike beyond belief, and I really can't find a plot anywhere in that movie. That's somewhat the case here too. The scenes aren't quite as pointless, even though I really can't get a grip of what this damn director is trying to say. If he wants us to have our own interpretation, then mine would be that it actually just is a bunch of random scenes that the director either finds hot, or that he thinks will upset. But, a movie doesn't upset me if there's nothing for me to care about. The film, just like his previous, features reversed monologues (you know, the diabolical kind!) that shouldn't come as a surprise when the director seems to have a hard-on for the Devil. What else does this film have? Vomit, vomit, pee, and blood. Even though this film features less annoyance than "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls", I'd certainly say that it's just an extension of that film. Suicide, gore and vomit might be part of the plot, but where the fuck Kurt Cobain comes in, I don't know. Maybe that was just his influence when he made the film.
Sex-wise, the film features plenty of nudity and sex, especially lesbian scenes. How the director managed to even make these annoying I don't know. Oh yeah, now I remember; it's his terrible ways to handle the camera, and that he has to involve vomit. The nudity scenes look nothing better than amateur porn, except it feels less explicit and more stupid. To spice it up, he puts in glimpses of gore.
Which takes me to the gore. The gore looks good, it does. I'm not gonna lie just because I hate the film. There's a scene where siamese twins that are conjoined at the head get sawed apart, some dead girls covered in blood, some cutting and slicing between two girls, playing around with intestines, and so on. More gore than "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls", so if you're only after gore, you might be satisfied. But then you should only want gore and not care about if a film is good or not.
I'm not kidding when I say that this is exactly the same film as "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" but with a bit more of everything, except puke. The first one had more of that. Stay away from this film, there really is no reason to watch it. If you're gonna say it's because of the gore, then there is better gore around, so you don't need to go through this terrible hour of crap for that reason. This is another attempt for the director to try and shock you with vomit, depraved sex and gore, but he fails. I'm sure he spends all his spare time just trying to think of ways to make his next film even more disturbing, but he keeps failing. Skip this shit and go watch something that's actually interesting and because of that becomes more sick, like maybe "Subconscious Cruelty".
Gore: 3/5
Nudity: 3/5
Story: 0/5
Effects: 2.5/5

When flying alone, you tend to spend a lot of time waiting, watching others, and reconsidering your life. Wondering at the many destinations, souls, hopes and dreams in one place.
Month: June 2015
As a future academic, I need to be well-informed. I also need to be able to contribute to intellectual discussions that may very well change the way we see or do things. To do this, I need to be able to communicate effectively and engage in healthy debate. I have a vision for where I want society/my profession to be, and I want to help make sure we get there, in my lifetime. Or if not, at least provide others a map with which to navigate. Like a pioneer or explorer, I must make my way into new territory and report what I've found to the rest of the world – which means I need to document everything I do and find.

Western warmongering media keep to amaze us with its uncreativeness and weird ideas. It looks like there are supplies of Benghazi hash to the West, istn't it? I have no other explanation for that.
OK, now it is «cats sporting opposition colours». No, I'm serious!
«A Tripoli resident — who does not want his name to be used for security reasons [Of course! — V.] — describes life over the last week in the Libyan capital, where there are tales [! — V.] of … cats sporting opposition colours.
[What a reliable source for big media news! What if everybody would do work for you with the same quality! Oh, my! — V.]
Even animals have been drawn into this conflict.
There have been several sightings of stray cats parading around with the opposition flag painted on their bodies.
Some, I am told, were unsuccessfully chased and shot at by angry security agents and secret police who work in the Souk al-Joumha and Janzour areas where they have been seen.
[Yeah, they have nothing better to do. What a cheep fantasy! Louis de Funès and Benny Hill are weeping with emotion! — V.]»
(Tripoli witness: Mourning, protests and opposition cats. — BBC News, 6 May 2011 Last updated at 07:53 GMT. — http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13295225).

Actually, NATO are committing acts of terrorism. No more, no less.
«In November 2004, a United Nations Secretary General report described terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act".[16]»

Utility pressure gauges are very common and practically a commodity product with most if not all manufacturers having their gauges made in countries in the Pacific Rim region, such as China, Taiwan and India.
These type of gauges are used by OEM's for compressed air and water systems which do not require significant accuracy (3-2-3%) or longevity; the environment in which they are installed tends to be non-corrosive and dry.
The connections are a copper alloy and the cases typically painted steel although we can offer plastic, plated steel or SS cases if desired.
These are not considered to be "industrial grade" pressure gauges, but if this is what you need, we can provide them at a competitive cost and usually ship from stock.

It all happened 2 years ago, when he came back from the US. He had lost about 10kgs within 6 months and all of us were naive enough and attributed it to the low fat diet, that too devoid of the daily dose of deep fried stuff like vadai, kaaravadai and bajji, while in US.
At the maximum we thought it might be diabetics. But, all our assumptions were wrong and he was diagnosed with with level 4 stomach cancer. Since then the fight against that deadly enemy started. He was facing it with grace.
It is hard to believe that, even 2 weeks ago, when I was in India, mama was driving, talking and laughing with us. Life is too short. His health deteriorated drastically within a short span and his last 3 days were terrible, for the family.
Though, he was unconscious the thought that he might be silently suffering was terrifying. Yesterday, mama passed away and I was unable to go home and pay my last respect. Direct flights to my home town was fully booked because of Chinese New Year. However, tomorrow morning am going home to India to be with my aunt and give her moral support at this tough time.
During my childhood, like any other electronic items, camera was an expensive stuff and only he had an imported Yashika (B & W) film camera. He was my first inspiration to photography and here is a tribute to him.

Home security monitoring in Oak Park is one of the best ways to protect your home. In today's world taking every step that you can to provide for your family's safety is very important. It is not enough to have an alarm system that is not being monitored. The response time can be critical in the face on an emergency or a break in, and unmonitored systems do not do enough to ensure that help is on the way quickly.
The Difference
No matter what your make and model of alarm system you can arrange for monitoring services that are compatible so you can get a good night's sleep. The difference between an unmonitored system and a monitored system is that:
* A monitored system means "active protection"
* An unmonitored system means "passive protection" or a "deterrent"
Unfortunately, just having an alarm system that sounds when someone gains unauthorized entry to your property will no likely persuade them to not cause physical harm to the residents. Of course with an alarm that sounds when there is unauthorized entry but that is not being monitored you also risk that authorities will not respond.
Quick Response/Complete Protection
Doing everything that you can to protect your property when you are not there and your family when you are there includes having a 24/7 monitoring company that can react when you cannot. Having peace of mind is well worth the low cost of monitoring.
No matter what alarm system you have installed you can get the low cost monitoring you need to improve the safety of your home and family! Alert Protective Services can help you keep your family safe! Like us on our facebook page.Add to favorites

Increased revenue offsets higher operating costs for Rackspace
Despite mounting pressure in the cloud storage market, Rackspace holds steady after releasing results for second quarter
Rackspace has fared better than analysts expected after reporting increased revenue in its second fiscal quarter results.
The San Antonio-based company's revenue increased 17% to $441.1m (£263m), noticeably above its projection of $434m to $440m.
Chief executive Graham Weston said: "We added thousands of new customers, including one of our largest ever, and we saw solid growth from existing customers like Under Armour, SunPower and Alex and Ani."
"We generated a company record $20m in incremental revenue in the quarter and revenue per server was an all-time high," he added.
The IT hosting company reported profits of $22.5m, up a fraction on $22.4m in the previous year. However, it was not all good news - the increase in revenue was offset by total operating costs and expenses which increased 20%. Per-share, earnings were flat at 16 cents, in line with market expectations.
Rackspace, which leases cloud storage space to companies, has found itself under increasing pressure as the likes of Amazon, Google and Microsoft enter an all-out price war.
In May, the company said that it had been approached by multiple parties interested in acquisition or partnership. Rackspace confirmed that it had hired Morgan Stanley to advise on possible proceedings but has said little to nothing else since.
Looking ahead to the third quarter, Rackspace forecast net revenue of $454m to $461m.

Dress for Success
All members of the Los Santos Police Department must adhere to a strict dress code provided by the Chief of the LSPD. To make it as easy as possible on you, the members of the LSPD, we've separated the dress code into four sections.
Patrol Officer - Motorcycle Officer
Each patrol officer will wear a black button-down shirt w/ a collar (short sleeve) with black cargo pants. They will wear black Hinderland boots as well. An officer may also wear a pair of black sunglasses, however this is not required. Each officer will also keep their hair maintained in a professional manner. Body armor is not required, however it is strongly recommended by the Chief that you keep yourself safe.
Members of S.W.A.T. will wear a black button-down shirt w/ a collar (long sleeve) under standard armor. S.W.A.T. members will also wear black cargo pants. They will wear black Hinderland boots as well. Eye protection is required for all members of S.W.A.T. Qualifying eyewear would have a black frame and dark lens tint.
Sergeant - Lieutenant - Commander - Asst. Chief - Chief
The high-ranking officers of the LSPD are distinguished members of the team. They can be spotted from miles away thanks to their vehicles and attire. These members of the LSPD will wear a black button-down shirt (short or long sleeve) with khaki-colored cargo pants. They will wear black Hinderland boots. It is up to these officers to wear eye protection. If they choose to wear eye protection, they too must have a black frame and a dark lens tint. High-ranking officers will also wear standard armor.
Gangs - Narcotics
The Gangs & Narcotics division is best known by their colors - olive green & black. Our Gang/Narcotics officers will wear an olive green button-down shirt under a black vest with olive green cargo pants. They will wear black Hinderland boots as well. These officers must also wear heavy armor. Sunglasses are an option here as well. Again, if the officer chooses to wear sunglasses, they must have a black frame with a dark lens tint.

Wine Tips From Samantha Rahn – Get Ready For Cornucopia
– Michael Broadbent
Samantha Rahn – Wine Director of Araxi Restaurant + Bar (boasting a highly acclaimed 11,000 bottle library), and the 2013 VIWF + Vancouver Magazine Sommelier of the Year takes us through her top-shelf wine picks, covering an extensive range of grape varieties from some of the world's most celebrated wine regions.
Champagne Le Mesnil 'Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs', Champagne, France NV $46.99
Le Mesnil is a famous village in the Champagne region renowned for its complex Chardonnay based wines (blanc de blancs – white bubbles made from 100% white grapes, by law) and this treasure is made by a local co-op there. It's far and away the best value in Grand Cru Champagne and is usually in stock in most BC Liquor Store's and definitely worth keeping a few bottles on hand, just in case.
Bollinger Special Cuvee, Champagne, France NV $69.99
This sophisticated Champagne, the preferred tipple of James Bond now that he's moved on from just martinis, is finally available again in good supply after several months' absence in BC. Great Champagne is always a worthy splurge for your special occasions, celebrations, and just because you deserve it!
Gustav Lorentz 'Burg' Riesling, Alsace, France $36
It's time we started rethinking Riesling! Many people live under the stereotype that it's all light, sweet stuff and don't venture past their Blue Nun memories into the world of Alsace, Austria and Australia (just to name a few) regions to try some glorious, dry examples. Burg is a 'lieu dit', a named place (think: single site or vineyard) and produces a fuller bodied, dry wine that goes with a world of cuisine from fish and veggies to lighter meat dishes, including smoked meats.
Hamilton Russel Chardonnay, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South Africa $39.49
We don't get a huge selection of South African wines in BC in general, but this one, generally considered one of the great Chardonnays of the world by sommeliers and top critics everywhere, arrives in decent quantity once a year and is available now (but likely not for long) in select BC liquor stores. It's a steal given the quality of the wine, and very cellar worthy in the short to medium term. I collect this wine for my personal cellar at home, and always stock up as much as I can for Araxi. This is great chance to get out of the 'same old Chardonnay' rut with something truly special.
Chateau d'Esclans 'Whispering Angel', Cotes de Provence, France $28.99
Great value at under $30, this is the world's #1 rose, and for good reason: it's delicious! Palest pink, totally dry, and rose is so hot, hot, hot even as we roll into the dog days of summer. Perfect for sipping on its own, and dangerously so, this is a serious example that has a proper French affinity to food.
Foxtrot 'Foxtrot Vineyard' Pinot Noir, Naramata, Okanagan, BC $70
If BC had a system like parts of France to classify vineyards on a 'cru' system, the Foxtrot Vineyard on the beautiful Naramata Bench would certainly be up there. Great Pinot Noir is hard to do, but starting with a great 'terroir', which includes the soil, the climate, and a smart, committed vineyard and winemaking team, head winemaker Gustav Allander is getting it done vintage after vintage. The wine ages beautifully and is great local addition to any cellar, and the perfect match for grilled wild salmon on the BBQ.
Barone Ricasoli 'Castello di Brolio' Chianti Classico Riserva, Tuscany, Italy $75
Yes, there is a real 'Barone' presiding over the historic 'Castello' in the heart of the Chianti region. This is one of the flagship Chiantis of the whole region, in a full bodied, rich style with layers of flavor and gorgeous aromas from its base grape, sangiovese. Tuscany is on a string of great vintages and this is a good one to collect, or drink with a special Sunday roast dinner with lots of local harvest vegetables.
Quinta do Crasto 'Reserva Old Vines', Douro, Portugal $37.99
Do you love Cabernet, or other big, full-bodied reds, but looking for an adventure? This is the wine for you. It consistently scores well over 90 points with big critics like Wine Spectator, providing maximum bang for your buck. Portuguese table wines are trendy right now, and this is one of the big reasons why. Pour it blind for your red loving friends and family and make yourself the hero of the day.
*all pricing is based on approximation before TAX.
Have a crush on wine? The list of not-to-miss events is extensive, below is just a snapshot.
Cornucopia presented by BlueShore Financial's Cellar Door event welcomes guests to the world of fine wines, uncorking top-shelf bottles of wine and champagne ($35 and up) to sip, savour and salivate over. Indulge, and live the high-life when Cornucopia opens the Cellar Door.
At Cornucopia's Top 25 Celebratory Reception, The Picnic Chef's Choice Cookbook Launch Party, a plethora of winemaker dinners and of course CRUSH Grand Gala Tasting, Cornucopia's flagship gala event, attendees can swirl, sniff, sip, swallow, and savor wines from the world's top-most regions, all in the one evening.
You can find Samantha Rahn sharing her expansive wine knowledge at a number of seminars and event; including: He Said / She Said – November 5, Top Value Wines with acclaimed wine authorities DJ Kearney and David Scholefield – November 8, Whistler's Wine "Transplants" – November 8 and The Cool Kids – November 11 with local 'Whistlerite' Eric Blouin.
Cornucopia presented by BlueShore Financial brings together the best minds in the business, and gathers them in the stunning coastal mountain resort of Whistler for 11 delectable days.

Black Spot Treatment
|For information purposes
|---This is a sample label only---
Product Information:
Algae are relatively harmless to humans but they may make the pool unsightly, may cause colours, promote bacterial growth, assist in the formation of chloramines and their presence indicates poor pool maintenance. From a safety point of view algae cause slippery pool walls, pool bottoms and walkways. Algae can be introduced into a pool in the form of airborne spores, blowing free in the air attached to dust or enveloped by raindrops. They are mainly associated with outdoor pools as they require sunlight to grow. The most uniformly accepted algal control procedure is to maintain a free chlorine residual of between 1 to 2 mg/L or where pools are warmer than 26 C a minimum 3 mg/L concentration. There is a range of algaecides available and their compatibility with the disinfectant system should be determined at the point of sale. Algaecides are an adjunct to pool conditioning for winter. Pool owners should know that the use of algaecide can prevent all known varieties of algae.
There are over 21,000 known varieties of algae! In the pool business we avoid all of the complication by referring to algae by the color they exhibit.
GREEN ALGAE: An extremely common variety, green algae will usually rear its ugly head immediately following a hazy condition in the water from a lack of proper filtration and/or sanitation. It is frequently found free floating in the water, although it also will cling to the walls. It reduces water clarity and is thereby distinguished from severe copper precipitation, which will impart a clear, green color to the water. Varieties of green algae also appear as "spots" on surfaces, particularly rough areas, or places where circulation is low. They also show up as "sheets", where large wall sections, or even the entire pool, is coated in green slime...UGH! Hit it hard! with Shock it and Concentrated Algaecide. Prevention can be acomplisded : Use Weekly algaecide.
YELLOW ALGAE: A wall clinging variety, also called mustard algae, is usually found on the shady side of the pool. It is sheet forming, and can be difficult to eradicate completely. Once begun, a pool owner could spend the entire season fighting yellow algae; reinfection is common. This variety is resistant to normal chlorine levels and must be dealt with firmly. Hit it hard! with Shock it. Prevention can be acomplisded : Use Weekly algaecide.
BLACK ALGAE: Perhaps the most aggravating strain of algae, it has been compared to herpes; "once you've got it, it's there for life". This is not entirely accurate, but the difficulty in eradication is due to the strong roots and protective layers over top of the black algae plant. Black algae will appear as dark black or blue/green spots, usually the size of a pencil eraser tip. Their roots extend into the plaster or tile grout, and unless the roots are destroyed completely, a new head will grow back in the same place. The heads also contain protective layers to keep cell destroying chemicals from entering the organism. Like yellow algae, black strains can bloom even in the presence of normal sanitizing levels and proper filtration.

The world's only Porsche 918 Spyder painted in Voodoo Blue is heading to Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction on October 19-21.
For the past two years, the unique 918 has been displayed at the Rock and Roll Car Museum in Texas and will cross the auction block with less than 1,200 miles on the odometer. While the reserve hasn't been made public, there's a very good chance this could become one of the most expensive 918's sold.

As the images show, the car hasn't been fitted with the desirable Weissach Package but following its delivery, it was completed with a styling black, white and grey Martini livery to ensure it stands out even further. The hypercar is also particularly special because it has silver brake calipers instead of the Acid Green calipers fitted to most 918's.
As with any other 918, there is a 4.6-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine located directly behind the seats. That potent powertrain is mated to a pair of electric motors to deliver a combined 887 hp. source: http://www.carscoops.com/2017/10/worlds-only-voodoo-blue-porsche-918.html

Help, I need motivation!
Working out for the sake of working out is hard and it sucks. So my friends and I needed a good goal to work towards and keep us motivated. As some of you know, we have decided to challenge ourselves to get fit to do a swimsuit pinup shoot in mid November.
Part 1 of this challenge: we're all going to do P90X. I've completed it once through two years ago and got great ressults, losing about 35lbs on p90x alone. But the idea of listening to Tony Horton talk about how beautiful Dreya Webber is fills me with dread. Unfortunately, I have a pirated copy so I can't just mute him and listen to the beeping cues.
Have any of you completed P90X? What did you do to not want to shoot yourself in the face after hearing his "diamonds of gold" remark by the very end? I seem to have blocked it from my memory. Or maybe that dread was just quickly replaced by my loathing of the squat jumps in Insanity.

My girlfriend is still at the stage of adapting to her work office environment and she's having a hard time, she still doesn't have any friends here and she's complaining about how she doesn't want to eat alone
I felt bad for her so yesterday, I specially made a lunchbox for her!
First, this image of a round and cute angry bird came to my mind
My girlfriend really likes angry bird. We watched the movie together and I could see how much she enjoyed it.
Anyways, I put tuna and mayonnaise inside
The cooking process was too long so I'm omitting it!
It looks like angry bird to me ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I wished the face was redder but my girlfriend doesn't really eat spicy food
I even put decorations
If you saw it in real life, it kinda looks like thisㅋㅋ
Before the lunch time, I even gave her ramyun and other snacks and junk food as a joke
I'm so proud of myself, mission success!

- Seriously if you don't truly love someone, you'll never be able to do something like this. Even if it looks easy to make a lunch box, it can easily take an hour just for those rice ballsㅠㅠ There are a lot of guys who would take the easy way and buy the pre-made lunch boxes, other boyfriends out there think about your girlfriends' reactions if the lunch boxes were actually made by you ㅠㅠ

You want to grow your successful business, or maybe you're falling behind the competition. Whether you're a market leader or struggling to keep up, quality market insights can help improve your returns.
We've seen deals – and even families – fall apart when thanks to a direct investment gone bad. While direct investment can be an exciting and lucrative tool to build and maintain your family's wealth, if you're just starting out, you'll want to avoid these rookie mistakes.
When you hear the word discipline, you may think of world-class athletes or Nobel-winning physicists – or you may think of the principal's office. Whatever pops into your head, it's probably not the execution of your family office's investment strategy – and that's one reason even the best strategies are often unsuccessful.
In our last post about the Value Creation Vector, we dug into the second lever, Growth Potential. Today we're going to look at the third lever: Management Tenacity. Sadly, this lever is typically least interesting to management, even though it's often the easiest way to generate value.
Right Here, Right Now: Crafting A Successful Family Office Investment Strategy and Assembling The Team To Support It
In our last article, we detailed the first two factors for successful family office direct investment: Right Experience and Right Reasons. Today, we'll cover the next two factors: Right Strategy and Right Team. You can see the complete list in our intro post on the topic.
In our last post about the Value Creation Vector, we dug into the first lever, Profit Potential. Today we're going to look at the second lever: Growth Potential. Once we have assurance that you're maxing out the profit potential of your business, we want to help you grow the sh*t out of it.

digiclickman brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 423 Designs von 125 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
PrinterInk.com is currently a printer ink review site but will soon be re-launched as one of the largest online stores that sells discount printer ink and toner to customers all across the United States. We have thousands of ink cartridges, toner cartridges, ink refill kits, toner refill kits and supplies for all brands of printers, faxes and copiers in stock and ready to ship to customers.
We aim to be the biggest brand in the space with a friendly and modern feel. We want to look very credible and trustworthy, modern and like a large e-commerce player. We do not want to feel "mom and pop" or like a stodgy office supply store. Since we sell a lot of remanufacured cartridges (as opposed to brand new OEM), our company can also feel "green" because it is better for the environment to refill and remanufacture ink and toner cartridges.
Our target audience is anyone in the United States with a printer, copier, or fax machine that needs ink or toner supplies. Our customers are typically between the ages of 18 and 65 years old and 60% female and 40% male. They tend to also shop at HP.com, MicroCenter.com, TigerDirect.com, Buy.com and other types of stores.
We are looking for a top notch logo that says "PrinterInk.com" with a nice colorful icon depicting ink/toner and that establishes us as the leader in the industry.

The 12th edition of this popular casebook includes key U.S. Supreme Court opinions, updated information on scientific evidence, new questions and hypotheticals, and common courtroom objections.
Specifically, the new edition adds two important new Supreme Court cases on the right to confrontation and incorporates the restyled Federal Rules of Evidence. It introduces a revised organization of the materials on hearsay, to reflect better recent developments on the confrontation right. The chapter on the best evidence rule has been extensively updated. Numerous changes have been made to bring other chapters to date. Older materials that have a tired feel have been dropped, but teaching favorites that have stood the test of time have been retained. Oversized cases have been edited to reduce length. The authors have continued the practice of choosing cases and other materials on the basis of teachability, and they have added new cases that promise to be fun to teach.

Designed to last many lifetimes!
Voted the best in 2 consumer magazines. Industrial quality. Requires 30% less energy to turn. Easy dial self-locking adjustment. Large hopper holds 2 lbs of wheat. Hand-cast solid aluminum body. Easy conversion to electric motor.
With the Country Living Grain Mill you can bake your own organic breads and pastries with all the nutrition, and without the additives, bleaches and fillers of store-bought foods.
It will grind virtually all dry grains and legumes, including wheat, corn, beans, peas, amaranth, etc. It is designed to be quickly and simply motorized.
The industrial quality and ease of use is what sets this mill apart from other hand mills. Double-sealed industrial armored ball bearings and its hand-cast solid aluminum body give it the strength to last many lifetimes.
The Country Living Mill is without a doubt the most rugged manual grinder on the market today. It is the only grinder, of which I am aware, that utilizes two industrial-grade ball-bearings. Other comparable grinders that cost around $200.00 more than the Country Living mill use brass bushings.
Many grinders use only one large bushing, but the Country Living Mill has two sealed ball bearings spaced apart* which increases the stability of the drive shaft and reduces bearing strain.
*The bearing placement can be seen highlighted in red on the diagram to the left.
The photo to the right shows what the grinder looks like when the threaded adjustment knob, the rotating burr, the drive key and grain auger have been removed. The grinder must be broken down to this point to install the bean and corn auger. If you wished, you could now pull the drive shaft out of the mill from the crank side. You can see that this grinder is amazingly easy to take apart and clean.
If you are using the large auger, there are three keys that must be installed for the grinder to operate. The standard auger set-up only requires two keys. The purpose of the keys are to lock the different rotating parts of the grinder to the drive shaft so they all turn as one unit. There's a key locking the pulley wheel to the drive shaft, another to lock the bean and corn auger to the drive shaft, and on the end of the grinder a third key to lock the rotating burr of the grinder to the The Key...drive shaft. The keys are quite small and are easily lost. When taking the grinder apart, be mindful of the keys. Before any disassembly, clean your work area. More than one key has been lost in a bowl of wheat or flour. This is especially true for those who do not know to keep an 'eye out', as the key can quite unnoticeably fall out of the groove in the drive shaft during disassembly, then get lost in whatever floury mess you have at the base of the grinder. For many folks, the first indication there's something wrong is when they reassemble their grinder, and the rotating burr doesn't turn when they crank the handle. By this time, the key may very well be long gone. Be careful with the keys. The grinder won't work without them.

An ACerS Cements Division member tipped me off to an op-ed in the New York Times that appeared this summer that I (and probably many others) overlooked, but is still timely for many reasons. It It was written by three of the member's colleagues at Georgia Tech — Reginald DesRoches, Ozlem Ergun and Julie Swann — who discuss the problems surrounding the enormous amount of debris, including concrete, rebar and other construction materials, which was left by the earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010.
The thrust of the op-ed is that this debris and refuse is an incredible impediment to the rebuilding of the battered nation. These authors outline the basic dimensions of the logistical problem of doing something safely, efficiently and quickly with this stuff:
"A draft of the United States Army Corps of Engineers' debris management plan says it would take a dump truck with a 20-cubic-yard bed 1,000 days to clear the debris, if it carried 1,000 loads a day — or about three years. But the current rate of removal is much lower. Based on our calculations, partially from the United States Agency for International Development's reports on debris removal programs, we estimate that it could take 20 years or more."
They point out that the debris piles block transportation and movement, and add to environmental and health hazards because of leached materials.
At the time they wrote the piece, the authors reported that there was no coordinated effort for removing, storing or reusing these materials. Instead, they said:
"[A]lmost all of the operations in Port-au-Prince are in the form of cash-for-work programs like the ones sponsored by USAID and the European Union, which have Haitians, at best, breaking concrete and loading trucks by hand and, at worst, just moving bricks from one side of a road to the other. Many workers lack masks or gloves. While this inefficient process may put money into the hands of Haitians, it only further slows rebuilding."
To resolve these problems, DesRoches, Ergun and Swann offered a solid proposal: Create an omnibus debris removal task force to coordinate miscellaneous cleanup efforts, prioritize cleanup sites, regulate the use of cash-for work programs and establish rules for handling and disposing the debris.
When I called Ergun to ask about what's happened since the op-ed was published, she told me that around the time their story appeared a new surge in interest about the situation in Haiti occurred because it was the six-month anniversary of the earthquake and because former President Bill Clinton and others were in Haiti working on the creation of a reconstruction commission. "We weren't the only ones writing about Haiti," Ergun says, "but we were hopeful because we knew that Clinton traveled there with a copy of our story in his hands."
Unfortunately, it appears that little headway had been made in tackling the debris problems. DesRoches, who has roots in Haiti, continues to observe reconstruction efforts. "I have traveled to Haiti seven times since the earthquake, most recently two weeks ago," he writes in an email. "Debris is still a major issue, with roughly 90% of the debris still where is was following the earthquake. I believe the lack of progress with debris removal is the single biggest challenge in Haiti and the biggest impediment for moving forward with the recovery and rebuilding.
What few steps that have been taken to deal with with the refuse have been by relatively tiny projects run by nongovernmental organizations. "Sometimes NGOs get funds for very small efforts, but there is still no overall coordination and no big contracts have been assigned," Ergun says.
The major factor that hangs over Haitian recovery is the nation's general election. The election of the nation's president was originally scheduled for Feb. 28, 2010, but postponed because of the earthquake. The lack of clear political leadership in Haiti has created something of a reconstruction mire. The idea of a debris task force isn't out of the question, but Ergun says, "Nobody wants to do anything until after the elections, and the debris remains."
That's part of what makes this story still so timely. The election is less than two weeks away: Nov. 28, 2010.
Hopefully, the debris will addressed soon after, and I suspect that some of our materials scientists and engineers have some productive ideas about what to do with a lot of it. "Finding a way to safely reuse the debris can have a huge impact on the rebuilding, while simultaneously having a major impact on the environment," says DesRoches.
Stay tuned.
