Krushna Abhishek's Comedy Nights Bachao, which airs on Colors TV, is all set to go off air for now. Even though it is expected to come back with a fresh season sooner than expected, it did leave popular TV actress Anita Hassanandani, who has been associated with the comedy show for a long time, teary-eyed.
Sharing a picture of the entire team on Instagram, she wrote: This is heartbreaking #bachaooo season one ends! Gonna miss each one of you! This journey has been AMAZING! Thanks for making this happen for me @nikuld LOVE you guys!
Even Karan Wahi couldn't stop himself from bidding an emotional farewell to the team and wrote: Ill miss this madness….thanku #comedynitesbachao for all the fun,madness and smiles u gave me… until we meet again…. #nevasayneva
According to reports, the new season of Comedy Nights Bachao might not see Anita Hassanandani and Karan Wahi. Instead, Aditi Bhatia, of 'Ye Hai Mohabbatein' will possibly be a part of the upcoming season.
Comedy Nights Bachao has a roast format in which constant jibes are made on the stars through slapstick humour and unpleasant jokes. Going by the popularity of the first season, the latest buzz is that the show might tone down its content.
The show first premiered on September 5, 2015 and features stand-up comedians such as Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh, Sudesh Lehri, Karan Wahi and Anita Hassanandani.

When History major Cassie Loftus '08 attended Saint Anselm College, she played for the women's basketball squad, becoming team captain during her junior and senior years. After leaving Saint Anselm College, Loftus served as an assistant coach at both Springfield College and Williams College. She is now the assistant coach for the New York University women's basketball team. One Thing after Another recently asked Loftus to share what she was up to.
Q: How and why did you decide to become a history major?
A: I started as a Journalism major and then changed to Political Science. It didn't take long for me to realize that I love the study of politics. I'm fascinated with the people who participate in politics, and I enjoy the media buzz that surrounds them. But I also enjoyed the structure of History classes; there was discussion and a constant exchange of ideas that I didn't necessarily get in math or sciences classes.
Q: Why did you transfer from Brandeis to St. A's?
A: In my initial college search, I wanted to find a place where I could immerse myself in an athletic as well as an academic experience. While I appreciated the opportunity to be at such a great academic institution like Brandeis, I didn't feel as though I could get the experience I was looking for. I do not believe I made a mistake, though. I learned a lot about humility, balance in life, and how to have the courage to be happy. I still have a great relationship with friends and coaches at Brandeis, but I just knew it wasn't the best fit for me. I am so thankful for that one year because it helped me decipher so much about the collegiate experience I really wanted.
Q: When did you decide that you wanted to coach basketball? How did you go about placing yourself on a career path that led to coaching collegiate women's basketball?
A: I didn't realize I wanted to be a basketball coach until my junior year of college. I had always considered myself a student of the game because, believe it or not, I was undersized, a step slow, and had to really work hard to make an impact on my team. I was lucky to have some excellent coaches throughout my career and wanted to help shape others experiences the same way they helped me. Young women need positive role models who are strong in body, mind, and spirit, and I hope that every day I can be that for the young women who play for our program. There is no direct path into coaching, and it is pretty hard to get your foot in the door. Lucky for me, I had somebody take a chance who saw my potential and that I was willing to work hard to gain experience. My coach from Brandeis actually hooked me up with one of her coaching colleagues at Springfield College . . . and the rest is history!
Q: The great majority of our majors go into fields that have nothing to do with history. Yet many seem to find their study of history useful to their careers. Has that been the case with you? If so, how?
A: The history major at St. A's prepared me to communicate well, think critically, and to view the world with a set of eyes that penetrate beneath the surface. As a college coach, there is much value in these skills. In practices, games, team meetings, and in recruiting I am required to hone these skills. NYU is a place that puts a great deal of emphasis on global awareness, and we have many international students. We also have eleven campuses across the globe with several more to come in the near future. I believe my background in history helps me understand that I have so much to learn about NYU's student body and where they come from. I am intrigued by the diversity and can appreciate that there is so much to be learned from it!
Q: You grew up in Nashua, started your undergraduate studies at Brandeis University, finished at St. A's, and went off to coach at Springfield College and thence to Williams College. After living and studying in a number of medium-sized towns, was Manhattan something of a shock?
A: There is no place like NYC! There is a vibrancy and beauty to all the chaos. Before I came, I had a very naïve perception of the Big Apple and saw it as a big traffic jam. There is a unique character to every neighborhood, subway line, and coffee shop. What a fool I was to think it was ALL yellow taxi's and skyscrapers! In a city of 8 million people, there is an individual relationship each of us gets to have with the place. It is rich in history and in that way feels like an adult playground. I feel so lucky that every day I grab a coffee on Broadway and head in to work to coach college basketball. It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but I am crossing streets and hailing cabs with the best of them! The ultimate compliment is when people stop and ask me for directions because it appears as though I am a "real New Yorker!"
Q: Nashua, New Hampshire is the only town in the United States to be named "Best Place to Live in America" twice by Money magazine (1987 and 1997). Was Nashua ("land between two rivers" in the language of the Penacook people) really all that? Why?
A: Nashua is one hour from the ocean, one hour from the lakes and mountains, and one hour from Boston (YES I am a Red Sox fan, and NO amount of time in New York City will ever change that). Nashua is a diverse city because of its proximity to Boston. I grew up with kids who came from literally nothing and also with kids who seemed to have everything. There were families from all over the world. I went to a very large high school with 3,999 other students. We had more students than St. A's! I love where I am from, despite all the jokes about cow tipping and the misconception that we are rural. Plus, it was only 15 minutes from Saint Anselm College so every game was a home game.

I am using a custom query to generate my search results. The code I am using works perfectly without the meta_query variables in my arguments array.
I am trying to compare multiple custom fields with 'LIKE'.
References to
$per_page &
$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$per_page = ($_REQUEST['per_page']) ? $_REQUEST['per_page'] : 15;
$sort_by = ($_REQUEST['sort_by']) ? $_REQUEST['sort_by'] : 'best';
Array for query arguments:
$default = array(

'value' => $search,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
Then I just call the arguments as you would expect..
$products = new WP_Query($default);
Loop through etc...
So as you can see... pretty simple stuff to be honest. I just cannot work out why it is returning 0 results as I know I have data to match specific terms or a combination..
This is for a custom WP ecommerce website which is integrated with an external EPoS System (I know)
Any help/pointers would be great!

Food and Drink Federation
Representing the UK's biggest manufacturing sector
See all webinars and events
Back to list of articles
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has today welcomed the publication of the
Government's Industrial Strategy white paper, which announced the establishment
of a Food
and Drink Sector Council.
The creation of the Sector Council recognises the importance of the many
sub-sectors that make up the nation's £112 billion 'farm to fork' food
chain and employ almost four million people.
Since April, FDF and its members have been working closely with Defra and BEIS
on an ambitious set of proposals as part of a food and drink manufacturing
deal to increase productivity gains, while providing much-needed stability to
one of the
industries most affected by Brexit.
The Government's recent Made Smarter Industrial Digitalisation Review report
estimated that the food and drink industry could add an additional £55bn
to the economy over the next decade through improved digitalisation alone.
While exports of food and drink have grown to record figures over the past year, just one in five food and drink manufacturers currently sell to foreign
markets, presenting a considerable untapped opportunity for the industry.
It is hoped that the Sector Council will enable industry growth, with exports,
innovation and skills
seen as priority areas for both food and drink manufacturing and the other
sectors which make up the
food chain.
Ian Wright CBE, FDF Director General said:
"This is great news. We have been calling for a Food and Drink Sector
Council for some time and this is recognition from Government of the central
importance of the
food and drink supply chain to the economy.
"UK food and drink is a major national asset and the envy of the world.
The creation of the Council acknowledges the importance of the sector to both
national security and economic growth, and will allow us to unlock our very
significant productivity potential and
secure our position as a global leader in safe, sustainable, and high-quality
food and drink.
"We will continue to work closely with both Defra and BEIS to ensure we secure a
transformative sector deal for food and drink manufacturing."
Welcoming the launch of the White Paper, Secretary of State for the Department
of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Michael Gove said:
"The Industrial Strategy contains important plans to boost our agriculture and
food industries' productivity, while enhancing our natural environment.
"We have a thriving, world-renowned food and drink sector and the establishment
of a Food and Drink Sector Council will create a new and ambitious partnership
between government and industry. The Council will build on existing proposals
for a sector deal, securing the UK's position as a global leader in
affordable and high-quality food and drink.
"Added to that, the Industrial Strategy's clean growth Grand Challenge –
specifically the 'Transforming food production: from farm to fork' programme -
will drive innovation in food production whilst reducing emissions, pollution,
and soil erosion. All of this will put the UK at the forefront of advanced
sustainable agriculture."

The CBD Oil has done great things for my amputee husband….much better than the hard drugs/pain killers.
I LOVE the products!! Shipping speed was super fast and very much appreciated. I like the CBD gummies the most. They are so very effective.
I will definitely be a repeat customer. My sleep and anxiety have both been 100 times better now. I went 3 days without sleeping earlier this year and had to try something…I typically lay awake and worry/process everything under the sun. CBD is a miracle to me.
I love that you are here locally, so I can order and have it fast. Thank you!!

- My little group of friends. Although several people I liked a lot have left Kunming over the past couple months, I have a good group of friends here and we all see each other often. It's been a while since this has been true for me; most of the places we've lived in the past few years I've had a group of friends most of whom don't know each other, and I've been stuck in the Tyranny of the One-on-One Coffee.
Much as you love your friends, that routine gets really old. What doesn't appear to get old is having delicious Indian food with a couple friends and one handsome fiancé, and then going to see the Michael Jackson concert movie (yes, I was dragged to it – but YES, I also really enjoyed it. I'M NOT GONNA SPEND MY LIFE BEIN' A COLOR.) In case you're wondering: all of my friends are Western. I don't really like admitting that, because this was always something that I criticized about foreigners living in China before I moved back here. More on that issue at some point.
- Chinglish. In case you are unfamiliar with this term, it refers to a mashup of Chinese and English (like Spanglish or Franglais), but often refers to translations into English from Chinese gone very, very badly. (Remember that story about how when Pepsi first came to China the Chinese translated "Pepsi Comes Alive" as "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Dead"? I'm pretty sure that was an urban legend, but oh how I wish it were true.)
Anyway, I know that it's a little childish to continue to be amused every time you see "fried crap" on a menu when you know they meant "fried carp", but I can't help myself. And occasionally you get the right combination of being in a ridiculously silly mood and then BAM! you spy a couple great pieces of Chinglish, such as these 10-foot tall posters spotted while exiting a movie theater last week:
Here's lookin' at you, Henfly.
- Possibilities for strangeness in China. After four and half months living in Kunming, life is starting to seem pretty normal. I do normal things like going to work, doing laundry and seeing friends. I could definitely use more experiences that expose me to the many strange experiences that are allowed to occur in a developing society that, authoritarian impulses aside, appears at times to exist in a state of back-street-anarchy and otherwise promote pastimes that Westerners might consider…questionable. For example, why have I not yet visited Kunming's Dwarf Kingdom after consuming copious amounts of some hallucinogen or other? I REALLY DON'T KNOW.Nevertheless, Kunming has excellent little ways of strangifying your day for you, even when you're not looking for it: Troupe of shoe store shop girls dressed in mock-police officer uniforms performing a synchronized hip-hop/military dance routine on the sidewalk? Oh yes. Being offered a drink over dinner from a bathtub-sized jar of grain alcohol with giant pickled lizards suspended in it? And how.
Just when you're fixing to tackle the guy who full-on SNEEZED directly on an unsuspecting woman's face as she exited an elevator, something bizarre little wonder will present itself to bring a smile to your face. Thank you, China.

I found this recipe on the internet 4 years ago.
I printed it out, and didn't make them until 2 years later! I took one bite and wondered why I had waited so long!
This recipe (I modified it of course) went straight into my recipe binder. It's one of my favorites.
Technically I guess these are not "enchiladas" but more like burritos since you use flour tortillas, and there isn't any enchilada sauce on them. So you can call them what you want. Sometimes I say I'm making "White Chicken Burritos" and sometimes I say "White Chicken Enchiladas". Either way, my hubby and daughter know what they are, and they ask for them by different names too!
White Chicken Enchiladas
1 (8 ounce) cube cream cheese
1 c. Salsa
2 c. chopped cooked chicken (I just buy a Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and pull it apart and save whatever is left and make chicken salad)
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed really well
1 c. frozen sweet corn
1 1/2 c. shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1 package (10 count) soft taco size flour tortillas
Bag of Shredded Lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Sour Cream
Preheat over to 350. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Open can of black beans, and empty into strainer. Strain all the blackish juice and rinse them under cool water to remove all the black bean juice. You don't want the filling to be all black and icky. Set these aside until later.
In saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, and salsa. Stir frequenly until almost melted. Add frozen corn, chicken and beans (I actually don't use the entire can of beans. I find that it's a bit too many so I use only 3/4 of the can). Continue to stir and cook over medium heat until mixture is heated through.
Spoon filling into the soft flour tortillas and roll them side by side in your pan like nice little soldiers.
Normally my 9 x 13 inch pan will only hold 9 of the "filled" flour tortillas. You should have enough filling to perfectly fill 9 flour tortillas (soft taco size). If you are creative and can squish them together, you might be able to get all 10 tortillas in your pan. But I don't like to be squished.
Cover the burritos/enchiladas with the shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until heated through. When you take off the foil, you should see the wonderful white cheese all melted and gooey to perfection. You can take the foil off and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes if it looks like the cheese might need to be melted a little more.
Now for the topping. I really really RECOMMEND this. There is something about the cool crispness of the shredded lettuce and tomatoes along with the melted yummy-ness of the filling that make this go from good to GOODER! (Not a word I know).
Now.... dish out one of the white enchiladas on a plate. Sprinkle the top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and now for the finishing touch........drizzle sour cream all the way down this baby. Please don't leave this last step out. If you refuse to do this, then just don't make this recipe.
I mean honestly. What looks better? Naked enchiladas below?
Or FULLY DRESSED Enchiladas?
Serve with Rice and Tortilla Chips.

Eight Powerful Women in Travel Offer Eight Tips For New Travel Agentsby Marilee Crocker /
Ongoing skills development is critical to success in any profession. But what if your career selling leisure travel is in its infancy? Where should you focus your business and professional development?
We put the question to eight of the most powerful and successful women in retail travel. If we were guilty of looking for a simplistic answer, they didn't take the bait. As their responses suggest, no single skill or even set of skills is enough to create success in this multifaceted and demanding profession.
"Being a leisure travel advisor is a complex career. But it is a career that can be incredibly rewarding, as long as you are very organized and detail-oriented, an effective written and verbal communicator, a strong people-person with enthusiasm, the desire to provide service, an interest in travel and a desire to constantly learn about new places, destinations and product," said Kimberly Wilson Wetty, co-president of Valerie Wilson Travel in New York.
Here's some more advice from top female travel executives on how to build success as a leisure travel consultant.
1. Master the basics.
"The most basic skill is communication. I've always said, 'She who calls a client back on time or responds to an email with clear information generally wins.' Get to the point, be clear, remain professional, keep it personal, under-promise and over-deliver. Create your own system of organization so you stay on top of client projects. If you develop this early on, you will reap productivity gains as you grow your business. Never ignore your clients. Follow up on all the details and never assume something will get done for your customer unless you have it in writing. Get everything in writing."
– Andi Mysza, president, MTravel, Montrose, CA
2. Learn to make connections.
"Networking skills are a valuable tool in any business. Be approachable. Get your name out there and network with as many people as possible to grow your database. Get involved in local Chamber of Commerce programs; network at the local country club. Network while being very sales-focused and very service-oriented."
– Kathryn Mazza-Burney, executive vice president, global sales, TRAVELSAVERS and The Affluent Traveler; president, NEST, Oyster Bay, NY
3. Focus on a specialty.
"When you first start out, you need to focus as much as possible. Select a product that you can study and become an expert. By specializing in a product you differentiate yourself from the competition. Most importantly, experience the product you are selling. Take advantage of travel agent rates, fam trips and more. The best way to sell a product is to experience it firsthand and share those experiences with your customers. They will recognize and appreciate your authentic passion for the product."
– Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president, CruiseOne/Dream Vacations and Cruises Inc., Wilmington, MA
4. Take advantage of training opportunities.
"Get training and coaching early in your career. Attend programs like the Travel Institute Travel Academy; many TMCs have training programs as well. It is a great way to get acclimated, learn product and sales tools, plus build a professional network for yourself."
– Kimberly Wilson Wetty, Valerie Wilson Travel
5. Get customers talking about what matters.
"Really knowing your sales skills is key. It's building a relationship and being able to converse. It's probing about their needs and wants by asking open-ended questions and getting them focused. If you're waiting for them to ask questions, you'll lose them. Have them describe their last vacation, have them say what they liked and didn't like so the picture is created and they're doing the talking."
– Elaine San Juan, director western region, leisure, Worldview Travel, Santa Ana, CA
6. Make the right match.
"It is not enough to just learn about your client's wants and needs. You have to ensure that you apply what you've learned and make the right vacation recommendations. Remember you are in the relationship business and your clients are your greatest asset. Do not treat a booking as a transaction. It is the opportunity to build an ongoing relationship that results in future bookings and referrals."
– Jackie Friedman, president, Nexion, Southlake, TX
7. Develop your brand identity.
"Create your own personal brand so people in your community start recognizing you as the go-to person for booking vacations. Determine what your value proposition is—why is someone going to book with you over someone else?—and communicate that to your customer base. The best way to do so is by becoming involved in your community.'
– Debbie Fiorino, Senior Vice President of CruiseOne/Dream Vacations and Cruises Inc., Wilmington, MA
8. Use technology creatively.
"One of the most important skills a successful agent must possess is the ability to creatively adapt to new technologies without losing the personal touch. There are creative ways to use technology that will still feel high touch and personalized to your clients."
– Claire Bennett, executive vice president, American Express Travel, New York

This is also known as the Riding outfit. Arwen wears this pretty and practical "Lord of the Rings" dress when she saves Frodo from the Ringwraiths and brings him to Rivendell.
In lieu of swede, I used a grey T-shirt fabric, and finished the edges with Fray-Check: I think it gives a pretty good look. I had a good pattern, but it was still a rather complicated project. It's the first dress I've made that has princess seams. The skirt was pretty easy and looks really cool. The bodice and sleeves were…harder. Lots of little pieces to keep track of, fitting, modifications…. But I think it came out well 🙂
The princess seams are modified so the seam is at the shoulder. A seam runs down the front of the bodice and the dress pulls over the doll's head. Embroidery floss was used for the laced ties in front, and there's a ribbon sash in the back. The coat sleeves are 2-piece, the lower part being petal wrapped. The skirts (my favorite part) are actually 2 petal shapes, slightly overlapping in front and back. Attached to the main dress/coat are flared, white lower sleeves, and a white underskirt, that's also split in front and back, (made from a pair of tights with a crinkle texture). Brown leggings are worn underneath.

So Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks are making it damn near impossible for us to pick their best look for BDOTW – a nice problem to have I might add.
Which look has been your favourite so far?

March 16, 2012 Premiere
So Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks are making it damn near impossible for us to pick their best look for BDOTW – a nice problem to have I might add.
Which look has been your favourite so far?
Credit: Getty
Watching the live stream right now and they look sensational.. Jen is wearing a red lace-ish (or mesh-ish) dress with cap-sleeves and illusion cut outs. Her hair is in a bun. Elizabeth is wearing a sequined orange dress, her hair is styled in loose marcel waves. Can't wait to see HQ pics! 🙂
Ah! Jennifer wore Marchesa Fall 2012 RTW, look 12.
Jennifer's a no brainer, the LA premiere is miles away from the others. It's one outstanding look against 1 good look and one ok look.
Elizabeth's not such an easy pick. I'm torn between her London and Paris looks. Both are amazing, I would put both up on BDOTW. Looks like she's going to turn out the star of this promo tour.
I agree, it's such a great promo tour so far! I chose the prabal adn the versace, simply because of the bronzer with the bill blass dress.
I really hope that this promo tour is extensive (maybe not as much as puss in boots was, but 4 months is a long time), because I cannot wait ot see what they will wear next!
Fantastic! Any clue who is styling them FC?
Push coming to shove, I loved Jennifer's LA and Elizabeth's London dresses.
Elizabeth blew Jennifer out of the water, imo! I do like Jennifer's style generally but none of the looks worked here for me very well. I'll go with London.
Elizabeth's bright colors were exciting and she just got better! Her Paris premiere dress was STUNNING! I nearly fainted!
I can't choose, I love all the dresses. Sorry
I don't want to feel guilty for choosing one over another dress and regret my choice after.
jennifer and elizabeth, they give us a beautiful promo tour, and we expect each of their appearance forward. I think it is most important.
I think this BDOTW will be very hard.
It's great how cohesive each girl's looks are. Jennifer's is subtle and glossy; while Elizabeth's is clearly bold, bold color. I think they both look great in each outfit they've selected. If I have to pick just one it has to be Elizabeth in that yellow from London. I was really torn, and almost want to go with Jennifer's LA look, as well!
It's hard to chose because whilst they look great they both had something I'd like to change on every occasion, neither is 100% perfection, IMO.
JL: Her Paris outfit is too somber, it's a LBD with not enough of a twist and though she looks great in gold, two similar dresses in a row? That and the bad hair it's a no from me (shame with two gorgeous dresses)
EB: LOVE, L-O-V-E the colours!! But, in LA and Paris it's the lackluster accessories (+ helmet hair in LA) that lets her down and her make up in London was far from good.
As a pair I'd say London was best, individually I can't decide.
I actually like all of the six looks.
I love that Jennifer has a "gold-trend" and Elizabeth a "colour-trend".
As for Jennifer: the LA dress is more dramatic and unforgettable, but I like the fit better on her London gown, so I voted for that one.
Elizabeth: again, three beautiful looks (and I love that she sported different hairstyles with each one of them), but I can't resist a pretty gown, so I voted for the London yellow dress.
Let's hope they keep this up!
The "gold trend" and the "color trend" are both in keeping with themes of their characters – which is so cool. I love that they were able to do this for the fans, while maintaining looks that are both gorgeous and also that totally suit each of these two women and make them look their best.
Paris for both!

When we arrived in Richards Bay, we congratulated ourselves for finishing our voyage across the Indian Ocean. We never thought about low long it would take to get to Cape Town, but this section of coast line is not to be taken lightly.
The total distance is 950 miles (the same as going from the UK to Gibraltar) and you have to contend with the very changeable weather bringing strong, gale-force winds at times. The Agulhas Current runs south west between Richards Bay and Port Elizabeth at up to 4 knots roughly following the 200 metre contour. That's good because it pushes you along quickly, but with any south in the wind, the effect of wind against current builds steep waves very quickly.
The weather is dominated by a series of high and low pressure systems, which pass to the south of the coast, moving from west to east. The high pressure systems normally give North/East winds and good weather; whereas the low pressure systems give South/West winds.
Between the high pressure and the following low pressure systems, there's normally a kind of front. When this hits, the wind can change from NE25 to SW25, within TEN MINUTES. Periods of variable winds between systems can generate intense lightning storms.
If you can average 6 knots boat speed, then with 2 knots from the Agulhas Current, you could sail the 480 miles to Port Elizabeth in 2.5 days. From there to Cape Town, it's another 470 miles, so with the variable currents, it would take another 3 days. The dream scenario is a stationery high pressure south of the coast, but even then you're looking at 5½ - 6 days sailing. We had difficult weather conditions with small 24 to 48 hour weather windows, so it took us 30 days to do the trip – 1/3 of our visa time.
Passages between Richards Bay and Port Elizabeth are without a doubt the most challenging due to the effects of the Agulhas Current and the prevailing Southerly swell. When a low pressure has passed by, the wind slowly changes from strong south-west to north-east over a period of 12 hours. As it backs, the wind normally drops to about 10 knots from the south-east, then builds to 15-30 knots once it gets north-east.
If the weather windows are small, then you want to leave when the wind has backed to the south-east, but we found that even a 10 knot SE wind, builds steep wind waves on top of the swell making life very unpleasant as you bash directly into the waves. As the wind backs through east to north-east the sea becomes more confused until a strong north-easterly has been blowing for a few hours and flattens the sea. Finally, you have lovely sailing conditions, rolling downwind probably under blue skies.
Once you are around Port Elizabeth and out of the Agulhas Current the sea state is what you would normally expect and the weather systems seem to be more benign, with larger windows. Although that could be because it was later in the summer – the boats that left earlier in November had a much tougher time with stronger winds and bigger seas.
To summarise our trip. We were ready to leave Richards Bay on the 5th December looking at a weather window on the 7th. The gap closed up and we didn't want to go to Durban, so we had to wait for a week until the 15th – perversely, that weather window only gave us enough time to get to Durban (actual sailing 15 hours).
After waiting 4 days in Durban, we had a 36 hour sail to East London, where we had to wait another 6 days for two SW systems to pass through before we had a gap big enough to allow us to sail for 48 hours to Mossel Bay. There we had to wait for 3 days for a SW35 to pass through before sailing 48 hours to Cape Town.
In retrospect, we could have shaved 10 days off the 30 day total by using every small window, going to Durban earlier and doing a 24 hour sail from East London to Port Elizabeth. When you're planning your stay in South Africa, you should allow 2 to 4 weeks to get between Richards Bay and Cape Town depending on how lucky or how brave you feel. Finally, get in touch with Des Cason (sygambit at gmail.com) who provides an excellent, free weather routing service.

Redding monks draw Dalai Lama to area
Buddhist center draws Dalai Lama to Danbury
Amid acres of classic New England stone walls, fields and maple trees turning autumn hues, peace flags roped together flapped in the breeze.
They were gentle reminders of the work of the Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, the Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace in Redding.
On the nearly 100-acre property, five monks pray and teach compassionate living through Buddha's philosophy.
The serenity belies the clout of the center's spiritual director, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, who was the catalyst for the visit of His Holiness the 14th Dalai to Western Connecticut State University on Thursday and Friday.
During a personal meeting that the two monks had in 2010 in New York City, the 77-year-old exiled Buddhist spiritual leader of Tibet agreed to visit Connecticut.
"The purpose of bringing him here is mainly to promote world peace," the 75-year-old Gyumed Rinpoche said, through his translator and personal assistant, Tashi.
"We have dedicated students at the center. They want to have a better world, a more peaceful world, but realize they are missing something. The Dalai Lama is really popular and known for his focus on world peace.
"We felt that if we invited him over here, he will give us proper instruction to reach toward world peace.''
For 65 years, intertwined lives

The visit to Danbury comes 65 years after Gyumed Rinpoche first saw the Dalai Lama, and it continues decades of intersections in their lives.
Gyumed Rinpoche was born in the capital of Tibet in 1937, and at the age of 10 was admitted to Buddhist studies at Sera Monastery, just north of Lhasa, where his uncle served as a monk.
That was where Gyumed Rinpoche first saw the Dalai Lama, the 12-year-old chosen leader who had arrived to take his seat at the three great monasteries of Sera, Drepung and Ganden.
In March 1959, the Dalai Lama and his ministers fled Tibet in the aftermath of the Tibetan uprising. Days later, the Chinese army bombarded Sera Monastery, killing hundreds of monks and forcing Gyumed Rinpoche, his uncle and other monks into the hills and on a furtive trek into India.
Gyumed Rinpoche spent the years from 1959 to 1970 in Buxar, a British Army camp in India's West Bengal state, where the Tibetan government had sent 1,500 monks. There, despite spare conditions and with few materials, Gyumed Rinpoche studied and received his highest level of ordination from the tutor of the Dalai Lama.
In 1970, Gyumed Rinpoche and 200 monks re-established the Sera Mey Monastery in a Tibetan resettlement in Bylakuppe, India. They cleared forest, raised crops and put up a monastic building and welcomed the Dalai Lama for visits.
In 1993, Gyumed Rinpoche had his first private audience with the Dalai Lama, who three years later named him the honorable abbot of the Gyumed Tantric College, where he served from 1996 to 1999.
Gyumed Rinpoche was teaching around the world through the following years. In 2006, he was invited to become spiritual director of what was then called the Godstow Center in Redding, which the late property owner, Maurice Pate, a founder of UNICEF, had donated for a Buddhist center.
A base for spiritual outreach
The center, which is overseen by a board of directors as well as volunteers, was renamed Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, when Gyumed Rinpoche became its spiritual director.
It's where he begins his day at 4:30 a.m. with meditation, prayer and often 100 prostrations on the ground.
Geshe Lobsang Dhargye is the center's resident teacher. After more than 30 years of study with Gyumed Rinpoche, he's qualified to conduct the highest Buddhist rituals and ceremonies.
The five monks share a communal kitchen and dining room in the rambling house that's been expanded over the years.
"We all cook. We all are dishwashers and use the lawn mower. It's like a normal life," said Geshe Dhargye.
Bill Ryan, the center's caretaker since 2008, has established an organic garden with vegetables, and maintains the large lawn areas around three ponds. One draw for visitors is a prayer wheel, a drum suspended from the roof of a gazebo, which they spin to send prayers out to the world.
"This is not a traditional monastery," monk Jampa Gyaltsen said. "We are not living an isolated life. It's a Buddhist center, formed by a community of monks and lay people who learn from each other and support each other."
While his base is at the center, Gyumed Rinpoche reaches beyond.
On the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in 2006, he spoke in New Orleans at an event hosted by the Tulane University School of Social Work. His topic was "How to Transform Major Loss."
In October 2007, Gyumed Rinpoche organized and led the hourlong opening of chanting Tibetan monks at the Pray for Peace Concert at the Washington National Cathedral, when the Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal.
Gyumed Rinpoche spoke at the program too, saying happiness depends on the existence and kindness of all sentient beings, and that people must learn to relate to others with love and compassion.
Lessons reinforce buddhist philosophy
In the center, a large room being expanded further serves as the temple and classroom, where classes are held Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday.
People sit on cushions or chairs, and there is a large picture and a painting of the Dalai Lama in the room.
The classes and programs focus on the ancient wisdom presented in classic Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, with a practical application.
Some classes cover Buddhist philosophy and meditation, while there also are more advanced systematic studies of meditative techniques and mind training.
Monks, nuns and students from around the area and the country attend classes at the center, which also hosts community events like the annual blessing of the animals.
"The goal is to become a perfect person, an enlightened person, the nicest person," Gyumed Rinpoche said. "The method is to use love and compassion to reach that level of understanding. To love all sentient beings. Animals are part of our family."
Parents have love and compassion for their children, and children have those feelings for their parents and for friends, he said, and the goal is to extend that love and compassion to every being.
There are a lot of obstacles, such as jealousy and anger, so the challenge is to overcome negative feelings, Gyumed Rinpoche said. "This is hard work."
That is why the Dalai Lama's visit is such an opportunity. Gyumed Rinpoche said it's one of the most wonderful things to happen to him.
"It's once in a lifetime," he said. "It's impossible to have words to describe my feelings."
The Dalai Lama is unique, but his time is almost over, so the focus must be on future generations, Gyumed Rinpoche said.
"He will talk at the university with its younger people. He will give them hope and give them responsibility for trying to reach world peace," Gyumed Rinpoche said.
"If we put ideas forward for the younger generation, they will contribute to his goal and make it happen," he said. "For all of his entire life, he has been dedicated to world peace. He's a good model, and we can learn from him."

United States District Court, D. New Hampshire
March 21, 2017
Heather Rodger, et al.v.United States of America Opinion No. 2017 DNH 055
F. Dugan, Esq.
B. Haines, Esq.
J. Rabuck, Esq.
K. Johnstone United States Magistrate Judge.
plaintiffs, Heather and Adam Rodger, bring this two-count
medical malpractice claim against the United States of
America (the "Government") under the Federal Tort
Claims Act ("FTCA"), 28 U.S.C. §§
1346(b); 2671 et seq. See Compl. (doc. no. 1). In
Count I, Heather Rodger alleges medical negligence on the
part of Ammonoosuc Community Health Services, Inc.
("Ammonoosuc")-[1] In Count II, Adam Rodger seeks to
recover for loss of consortium. The Government moves to
dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6),
arguing that the plaintiffs' action is barred by the
FTCA's two-year limitations period. (Doc. no 7.) The
plaintiffs object. (Doc. no. 9.) For the following reasons,
the Government's motion is denied.
of Review
parties dispute the applicable standard of review. The
Government moves to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6). In their
objection, the plaintiffs have provided certain affidavits
that they contend the court should consider, and accordingly
request that the court convert the Government's motion to
one for summary judgment. In response, the Government argues
that the court need not consider anything outside of the
complaint in order to determine that dismissal is appropriate
here as a matter of law.
scope of the court's analysis on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion
is generally limited to "facts and documents that are
part of or incorporated into the complaint . . . ."
GE Mobile Water, Inc. v. Red Desert Reclamation,
LLC, 6 F.Supp.3d 195, 199 (D.N.H. 2014) (quoting
Rivera v. Centro Medico de Turabo, Inc., 575 F.3d,
10, 15 (1st Cir. 2009)); see also Fed.R.Civ.P.
12(d). The First Circuit has recognized a limited exception
to this general rule for certain categories of documents,
see GE Mobile Water, Inc., 6 F.Supp.3d at 199, but
there is no question here that the affidavits submitted by
the plaintiffs do not fall within one or more of these
of this exception, "any consideration of documents not
attached to the complaint, or not expressly incorporated
therein, is forbidden, unless the proceeding is properly
converted into one for summary judgment under [Rule]
56." Cooperativa de Ahorro y Credito Aguada v. Kidder,
Peabody & Co., 993 F.2d 269, 272 (1st Cir. 1993)
(internal quotation marks omitted) (citation omitted);
see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(d) ("If, on a motion
under Rule 12(b)(6) or 12(c), matters outside the pleadings
are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion
must be treated as one for summary judgment under Rule
56."). When a court elects to convert a Rule 12(b)(6)
motion into one for summary judgment, "[a]11 parties
must be given a reasonable opportunity to present all the
material that is pertinent to the motion." Fed.R.Civ.P.
12(d). The decision to convert is "wholly" within
the trial court's discretion. Buck v. Am. Airlines,
Inc., 476 F.3d 29, 38 (1st Cir. 2007) (citing
Beddall v. State St. Bank & Trust Co., 137 F.3d
12, 17 (1st Cir. 1998)).[2]
court declines to convert the Government's motion into
one for summary judgment here. The court agrees with the
plaintiffs that additional evidence beyond the allegations in
the complaint is necessary to determine whether the
plaintiffs' action is barred by the limitations period.
Indeed, as discussed below, this serves as the court's
primary basis for denying the Government's motion. But
the court does not believe that converting the
Government's motion into a Rule 56 motion now, before any
meaningful discovery has occurred, would serve the interests
of this litigation. The court will accordingly analyze the
Government's motion under the Rule 12(b)(6) standard.
Rule 12(b)(6), the court must accept the factual allegations
in the complaint as true, construe reasonable inferences in
the plaintiffs' favor, and "determine whether the
factual allegations . . . set forth a plausible claim upon
which relief may be granted." Foley v. Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., 772 F.3d 63, 71 (1st Cir. 2014) (citation
and quotation marks omitted). A claim is facially plausible
"when the plaintiff[s] plead[] factual content that
allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the
defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged."
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009).
Analyzing plausibility is "a context-specific task"
in which the court relies on its "judicial experience
and common sense." Id. at 679.
the factual allegations set forth in the plaintiffs'
complaint as true, the relevant facts are as follows.
Heather Rodger ("Heather") first came under the
care of Ammonoosuc[3] in February of 2010, when she moved to New
Hampshire from Vermont. In March of 2012, Heather learned
that she was pregnant. On November 17, 2012, Heather gave
birth to a baby girl at Littleton Regional Hospital
("LRH"). After delivery, Heather complained of
"coccyx" pain in her tailbone. ...

Hello All,
My husband was active duty Navy and passed on 6/23/2020 so I am a new widow and still feeling the shock of it all. I found that chatting online with other widows and widowers has been helpful through this process which is how I found this site. As a widow at age 38, I'm not sure where life will take me but I know that this pain is nothing like I've ever experienced before. I'm not exactly sure what I'm here for but mostly just to talk and empathize with otherwise who share my experience of pain and loss.
I wish you all comfort through your ordeal and thank you for allowing me to be part of this online community.
I am retired from the Coast Guard.
My first wife who passed in 1996 was in the Navy for 2 or 3 years.
Thanks for letting me join
For any interested, America's Run for the Fallen has started. It can be watched live or later, along with closing ceremonies. Their web site is http://runforthefallen.org/
It is "One of the most Comprehensive Fallen Military Tributes ever Compiled. Blazing A Tribute Trail Across Our Nation Spanning 6,000 miles, over 19 States in 5 Months.

Let's support their efforts to never forget.
I am so sorry for your loss. If you haven't already, you might want to reach out to TAPS www.taps.org. Give them a call at 800-959-TAPS. They are a wonderful resource for those of us who have had a loss of a loved one serving on AD. They support all losses on AD, which is something I did not understand for several years.If you can go to a seminar or retreat, go. You will be surrounded by others who "get it" and specifically understand military loss. I totally get the feeling like he is just deployed. My husband had only been home 10 days when he had an unexpected heart attack. I was blessed to have had 26 years with him.
I have found, for me, on those special days, like anniversaries, it helps if I have a plan to do something. It can be something to honor my loved one, to go somewhere, or just to stay in jammies and numb my mind watching old movies.
Also, there is chat here and TAPS also offers chat. Sometimes, it helps to share with others what a rough day we are having.
Hugs Emily and I wish you peace.
I'm so sorry to hear your story. You should have had so much more time together and it just doesn't make sense. I am so glad that you have reached out. I cannot imagine that you have many, if any, peers that can relate to what your are going through. While my situation is quite different (My husband passed away following 10 years of marriage and we have 3 children together) losing your husband is too much to deal with on your own. I think that your denial of what happened seems perfectly normal. Everyone grieves in a different way but we all grieve the loss of what could have/should have been.
You should have had a 1st wedding anniversary. But now you have to figure out what makes sense for you. I always tell my girls (ages 10 and 12) to trust that little inner voice, that gut feeling you get when something feels right or wrong. And I will tell you the same, you have to trust your instincts. This is uncharted territory. Do you have close friends or family that you can spend the day with? Maybe go somewhere that was special to the two of you? Or even go to a spa and treat yourself to a day of pampering because I am sure your husband would have wanted you to take care of yourself.
Whatever you do just make sure you do it for yourself and nobody else. You must be strong since you married a soldier! We are all here to support you.
Hi, my name is Emily. My husband passed when he was 24 years old in a car accident June 10, 2017 on his way to work to report in for a detail... My husband was AD Army at the time of his death and he had been in the military for 2 years. This is my first time really posting in a group and I am not too sure what all to say. Most days it feels like he is just deployed and I am waiting for him to come home. None of this feels real and I hate every second of it. Our one year wedding anniversary is coming up in March and I'm not too sure how to focus or even make it through that day since we never got to celebrate our wedding anniversary or even our wedding. We had been married 3 months and 5 days before he passed away.
If anyone has any tips or advise, I would love to hear from you.
Remembering...... Thinking of all who are serving, have served, and those who gave their life for our country. Thank you.
Thank you for your service to all who are serving, have served, or are no longer with us. Memorial Day was very important to my husband, and it's always a tough day. I don't go to the parades anymore, I tried last year and had to leave before I started crying.
Frank, thank you for your service, I know my husband always liked to hear that. He was a Viet Nam vet and they did not get a very nice welcome home.
I stop by here frequently to see if there are any new posts and finding none move on.
I'm retired navy.

I have been coming to Absolute Yoga & Pilates ever since I injured my lower back in 2013. At first I was skeptical that Pilates would help the daily pain but I can honestly say that my back health is primarily dependent upon how diligent I am in coming to Pilates and doing the stretches and exercises that Conni and her team have showed me over the past three years.
Conni, Anastasia and Monika continue to push me on a regular basis to improve my core strength and tailor the workout routines to ensure progress. Their flexibility, consistency and personal attention is not something you get at most Pilates studios.
In fact, I drive 20 minutes each way from Oak Park to Woodland Hills twice a week as I have been unable to find the dedication, reliability and expertise that Conni and her team are able to provide. I would encourage anyone to give them a try!!

Three al-Shabab fighters were killed on Wednesday by the Somali National Army (SNA) with support from the African Union troops in the country (AMISOM).
The joint team of security operatives were on a routine patrol in the Abdalla-Biroole area when they ambushed the insurgents, AMISOM reported through its official Twitter handle.
The AU force re-emphasized its commitment to partner the SNA to rid Somalia of al-Shabab and to restore peace and security.
Earlier in the day, AMISOM has tasked all nationals home and abroad to participate in peacekeeping initiatives as the country prepares to go to the polls.
AMISOM stated that peaceful polls in the Horn of Africa nation would mark a victory against the militants and also a victory for the African Union and the international community.
Meanwhile, the AU special representative on Somalia, Ambassador Francisco Madeira has called on the international community to help the country to conduct peaceful polls as planned.


text: Welcome back to Jazz Club! It's been a while since the three of us (Jimmy, Nick and Scott) sat down to dissect the one of our favorite genres, which was most recently a conversation about BADBADNOTGOOD's excellent 2016 album IV. In that discussion, we tossed around the idea of pooling together a list of some of our favorite new jazz releases, something we're excited to finally begin today with our first installment of Jazz Quarterly. This is also offering us an opportunity and excuse to get ourselves back in the habit of listening to new jazz regularly, which, if you're anything like at least a couple of us (namely Nick) has been something we've been meaning to get back into for far too long. There are a few places now that offer some great monthly curated lists like Bandcamp, Stereogum, and more, and you'll likely notice that a bunch of these selections are pulled from there because they provide a valuable resource for even supposed "curators" such as ourselves. As each of us prefers different flavors of the genre, you'll find an eclectic list of recommendations below, ranging from more traditional offerings to experimental blends of jazz with Indian classical music, doom metal sensibilities, electronic music, progressive rock and much more. We'd be genuinely shocked if you can't find at least one release worth your time from this list, so without wasting any more time, feel free to dive in to the best the genre's had to offer so far this year.

We are conscious of environmental and ethical issues and are constantly taking action to minimise Girton's effect on the environment by providing the necessary means to reduce our carbon footprint and by educating and inspiring students to take individual responsibility.
Recycling bins for dry mixed recyclables (plastic, paper, cardboard, aluminium cans), glass and biodegradable waste available in all corridor kitchens mean that Girton students are spoilt for facilities. Printer cartridge facilities are available at the Porters' Lodge.
We take part in the CUECS Green League Table and hope to do very well in the recycling section next year!
The College is signed up to the Carbon Reduction Commitment and always aims to continue to reduce its energy consumption. This can be hard for such a large, old building but many large steps have already been taken to continue to reduce our carbon footprint. For example, low energy lightbulbs have been installed in every bedroom making a huge reduction of our lighting energy usage.
The College continually assesses its energy consumption by complete the Cambridge University Environmental Consulting Service (CUECS) Green League Table Survey, which highlights areas that can be improved and areas where the College is doing well.
An extension to the college has recently been unveiled and will house solar panels along the length of the roof. This demonstrates the pioneering attitude of the College and signifies a new direction for college management on sustainability.
Ethical Investments
Included in our Environmental Policy are strategies for investment in companies not only clear of unethical conduct, but those with good environmental track records, and to bank with the Co-op.
After pressure from the students, the Girton College Cafeteria now stocks a range of Fairtrade snacks and drinks. The food sources continue to be evaluated to try to bring students and fellows ethically sourced food with a low carbon footprint at an affordable price.

There's a new parking scheme coming to San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter -- targeting Friday and Saturday nights along 5th Avenue.
Anybody's who's been down there then, you know what a madhouse traffic can be.
The remedial plan is called an "active loading zone."
On those party nights between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m., parking will be restricted to three minutes for dropping off and picking up passengers.
Any longer stop invites a ticket.
And from 7 p.m. on, tow trucks could arrive on the scene.
"You know, all this parking on either side of the street is not moving after 8 p.m.," says Michael Trimble, executive director of the Gaslamp Quarter Assn. which spearheaded the measure.
"Now (once the plan takes effect) it frees up all that parking so people can drop off," Trimble told NBC 7 in an interview Tuesday. "We're talking about Uber and Lyft and limos and party buses that can get to right in front of all these establishments without any problems whatsoever."
Gaslamp Quarter executives, hospitality and business establishments have been working on the weekend parking plan for more than a year.
And Tuesday afternoon, it was approved by the City Council, to roll out in early summer with a grace period for a public information campaign and installation of signs.
First responders are said to welcome the idea because their vehicles so often have been delayed in getting to emergencies.
Will the scheme scare people away?
Not if they're serious Gaslamp-goers, the thinking goes.
There's a feeling that a lot of folks will carpool with a designated driver-slash-parker who'll drop the others off and find free space or paid parking a few blocks away.
"I'm okay with that," says Scott Fisk, sales director for Pacific Magazine. "Sometimes my wife isn't, because she'd rather we walk as a family or together. But I don't see an issue. I know the Gaslamp well, I know where to go and where to park. And I'd rather her not walk -- especially with heels."
In passing the "active loading zone" setup, the Council for good measure also extended the hours of several other tow-away zones -- also, mostly downtown, to the 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. time frame.

Life is noisy and busy and chaotic.
For me, that can be difficult to deal with when I'm anxious. Too much stimulation is overwhelming. Too long of a to-do list leaves me panicked. Too much physical clutter to sort through to find what I need is frustrating.
Earlier this year, I came down to the US without any of my belongings and decided to stay. It's going to be a while before I can get anything, so I've been experiencing life without a kitchen full of all the fun gadgets and without a totally decked out craft supply. My closet is pretty bare and our food cupboards aren't overflowing. This is different than what I'm used to.
It's made me realize that not only do I not need a lot of what I had before, it was actually making life more difficult. When I needed anything from my baking shelf in my Winnipeg home, I pretty much have to take everything out to be able to find what I was looking for. In my Helena home, I can just pop up on my tiptoes and spy the baking powder hiding in the corner.
This has made me think a lot about simplifying my life.
I surround myself with to-do lists a mile long that are impossible to complete in one day. I have dozens of apps on my phone, but only use a few daily. On Facebook, I'm constantly getting notifications from groups that I just completely ignore. By doing this, I'm pretty much setting myself up for failure. There's no way I can do everything and pay attention to everything in one day.
So, I've started to slash it back and think about what is absolutely necessary. I've unsubscribed to many emails and turned off notifications on apps. My pal Jenna Anderson actually just posted a list of the ways she keeps her social media under control and I'm using her tips to do a little Facebook weeding. My daily work to-do lists include bare minimum that I want to accomplish. In some cases, thinking about my why helps. Does this app really do something to help me in my why? Nope. Then it's trashed.
This is also a huge reason why I took pressure off myself to respond to Facebook messages in a timely manner, especially when people are sending me videos and links to articles. As a general rule, I don't even look at what people have sent me unless there's a specific reason for sending it, like a friend wants to discuss the book mentioned in an article or have found a craft they think I'd enjoy doing.
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the stuff and noise in your life? Do you need to simplify? What can you to do right now to make that happen?

I know everyone is interested in purchasing an iPad 2, but you are not sure about whether your local Apple store has any in stock. What we need is an Apple iPad availability Web tool like the one we had before for the iPhone 3GS in 2009. Back then that page declared:
The Apple Retail Store likely has your iPhone 3GS in stock. You can check the most up-to-date availability right here. Shipments of iPhone 3GS arrive most days, and availability is updated hourly. The 8GB iPhone 3G is currently available in all stores.
You could access the tool to check the availability of an iPhone 3GS in your state. I checked and the URL no longer works — even when you substitute the word iPad in it for iPhone in the old URL.
I think that Apple would probably re-launch this tool again if they had better inventory availability, but with the iPad 2 selling out and screen manufacturing problems they probably don't really need this tool right now.
Hopefully all that will change soon and a site like this will re-launch for the iPad 2. Then you won't have to stand in ridiculous iPad 2 lines any more.

High Automobile Emissions: Modeling Impacts and Developing Solutions
Park, Sangjun
MetadataShow full item record
In the last few years, scientific consensus is that emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere is contributing to changes in the earth's climate. While uncertainty remains over the pace and dimensions of the change, a consensus on the need for action has grown among the public and elected officials. In part, this shift has been accelerated by concern over energy security and rising fuel prices. The new political landscape has led many cities, states, and regions to institute policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions. These policies and emerging initiatives have significant implications for the transportation planning process. The transportation sector accounts for approximately 27% of GHG production in the U.S. (as of 2003) and while the U.S. accounts for only roughly 5% of the world's population, it is estimated that it produces over 20% of the world's GHG emissions. Note that this does not include "lifecycle" emissions that result from the processes undertaken to extract, manufacture, and transport fuel. Carbon dioxide represents approximately 96% of the transportation sector's radiative forcing effects. Unlike conventional air pollutants, carbon dioxide emissions are directly tied to the amount of fuel consumed and its carbon intensity. Therefore, emissions reductions can be achieved by increasing the use of low-carbon fuels, improving fuel economy, or reducing total vehicle miles of travel - often called the three legged stool. (A fourth leg is congestion reduction, at certain optimal speeds). These same factors are related to our use of imported oil, so actions taken to reduce GHG emissions may actually produce benefits in both policy areas. The climatic risks of additional emissions associated with capacity projects must be balanced against the mobility, safety, and economic needs of a community or region. Consequently, this dissertation attempts to quantify the impacts of high-emitting vehicles on the environment and to propose solutions to enhance the currently-used high-emitting vehicle detection procedures. In addition, fuel consumption and emission models for high-speed vehicles are developed in order to provide more reliable estimates of vehicle emissions and study the impact of vehicle speeds on vehicle emissions. The dissertation extends the state-of-the-art analysis of high emitting vehicles (HEVs) by quantifying the network-wide environmental impact of HEVs. The literature reports that 7% to 12% of HEVs account for somewhere between 41% to 63% of the total CO emissions, and 10% are responsible for 47% to 65% of HC emissions, and 10% are responsible for 32% of NOx emissions. These studies, however, are based on spot measurements and do not necessarily reflect network-wide impacts. Consequently, the research presented in this dissertation extends the state-of-knowledge by quantifying HEV contributions on a network level. The study uses microscopic vehicle emission models (CMEM and VT-Micro model) along with pre-defined drive cycles (under the assumption that the composite HEV and VT-LDV3 represent HEVs and NEVs, respectively) in addition to the simulation of two transportation networks (freeway and arterial) to quantify the contributions of HEVs. The study demonstrates that HEVs are responsible for 67% to 87% of HC emissions, 51% to 78% of CO emissions, and 32% to 62% of the NOX emissions for HEV percentages ranging from 5% to 20%. Additionally, the traffic simulation results demonstrate that 10% of the HEVs are responsible for 50% to 66% of the I-81 HC and 59% to 78% of the Columbia Pike HC emissions, 35% to 67% of the I-81 CO and 38% to 69% of the Columbia Pike CO emissions, and 35% to 44% of the I-81 NOX and 35% to 60% of the Columbia Pike NOX emissions depending on the percentage of the normal-emitting LDTs to the total NEVs. HEV emission contributions to total HC and CO emissions appear to be consistent with what is reported in the literature. However, the contribution of NOX emissions is greater than what is reported in the literature. The study demonstrates that the contribution of HEVs to the total vehicle emissions is dependent on the type of roadway facility (arterials vs. highways), the background normal vehicle composition, and the composition of HEVs. Consequently, these results are network and roadway specific. Finally, considering that emission control technologies in new vehicles are advancing, the contribution of HEVs will increase given that the background emission contribution will decrease. Given that HEVs are responsible for a large portion of on-road vehicle emissions, the dissertation proposes solutions to the HEV screening procedures. First, a new approach is proposed for estimating vehicle mass emissions from concentration remote sensing emission measurements using the carbon balance equation in conjunction with either the VT-Micro or PERE fuel consumption rates for the enhancement of current state-of-the-art HEV screening procedures using RSD technology. The study demonstrates that the proposed approach produces reliable mass emission estimates for different vehicle types including sedans, station wagons, full size vans, mini vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs. Second, a procedure is proposed for constructing on-road RS emission standards sensitive to vehicle speed and acceleration levels. The proposed procedure is broadly divided into three sub-processes. In the first process, HE cut points in grams per second are developed as a function of a vehicle's speed and acceleration levels using the VT-Micro and CMEM emission models. Subsequently, the HE cut points in grams per second are converted to concentration emissions cut points in parts per million using the carbon balance equation. Finally, the scale factors are computed using either ASM ETW- and model-year-based standards or engine-displacement-based standards. Given the RS emissions standards, the study demonstrated that the use of on-road RS cut points sensitive to speed and acceleration levels is required in order to enhance the effectiveness of RS. Finally, the dissertation conducted a study to develop fuel consumption and emissions models for high-speed vehicles to overcome the shortcomings of state-of-practice models. The research effort gathered field data and developed models for the estimation of fuel consumption, CO₂, CO, NO, NO2, NOx, HC, and PM emissions at high speeds. A total of nine vehicles including three semi-trucks, three pick-up trucks, and three passenger cars were tested on a nine-mile test track in Pecos, Texas. The fuel consumption and emission rates were measured using two portable emission measurement systems. Models were developed using these data producing minimum errors for fuel consumption, CO₂, NO2, HC, and PM emissions. Alternatively, the NO and NOx emission models produced the highest errors with a least degree of correlation. Given the models, the study demonstrated that the newly constructed models overcome the shortcomings of the state-of-practice models and can be utilized to evaluate the environmental impacts of high speed driving.

brimfield 2012: what we brought home
This weekend Amy and I embarked on what must have been the most epic Mother's Day weekend ever. Both of our moms came from Virginia and joined us on a mother-daughter Brimfield flea market weekend, followed by brunch (and more plant shopping) at the newly opened Terrain at Westport, CT. We lucked out and got the most beautiful weather I've ever experienced at Brimfield and managed to score some fantastic pieces, despite visiting at the end of the show week. Like always, we thought we'd share some of the fun pieces that came back with us (and some we wish had). I can't wait to find new homes for all of these oldies-but-goodies. xo, grace and amy

Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third, or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, causing it to resemble a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery. People with hammertoe may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes.
Causes of hammertoe include improperly fitting shoes and muscle imbalance.
Treatment for the condition typically involves wearing shoes with soft, roomy toe boxes and toe exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles. Commercially available straps, cushions, or nonmedicated corn pads may also relieve symptoms.
In severe cases, hammertoe surgery may be recommended to correct the deformity.

I did nothing to deserve this
Jesse Martin—
January 20, 2018
First off, thank you for writing this post. I related with a lot of the points you made. My girlfriend left me a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently trying to piece myself together, but damn is it hard.
She explained to me that our relationship had to end because she didn't know if she wanted to be in a committed relationship anymore. She went on about how she started feeling that way for a couple of months. It was after Thanksgiving she knew she was going to leave me for sure.
I personally could not trust a word that came out of her mouth at that point. I was so blown away by what she was saying because she always acted like she loved me. I never once thought her feelings were going another way because I trusted everything she told me. When she broke up with me she explained how she still loves and cares about me, which I found to be bullshit. It was bullshit because my friend later explained to me that she was out drinking with her new friends that same night.
The hardest part was that I knew when she broke up with me, that it was because she wanted to see someone else. I knew who the person was too. I had seen him at parties and other social gatherings and I saw the way she interacted with him that there might be a chance she had some connection with him. During the break up I brought up this point, and she assured me that was not the case. She said she didn't even know if she wanted to date at all.
Well my feelings were confirmed when after a couple of weeks I saw her around campus with her new boyfriend. That day I lost my damn mind. I felt so betrayed and crushed because I knew everything she told me was a damn lie. All the times she told me she loved me during the months her feelings were going away, that I mattered to her, that she would always be there for me, it was all I fucking lie.
Its hard to think how someone you loved can move on so fast and have the time of their lives, while your sitting her devastated trying to figure out what to do. Even though I've been told many times not to blame myself, I can't help but do. I question what I did do to deserve this? The hardest pill to swallow was that I did nothing to deserve it.
Its really hard to move on and focus on yourself when you feel like there is no point in doing so. Especially when this is the second time this has happened to you. At least this time it did not involve my best friend. Although it still hurts all the same, and for some reason it hurts worse. I truly loved this person and thought that she loved me too. While the entire time, behind all the fake bullshit she was feeding me, she was counting down the days she could leave me for someone else.
I think the hardest part for me is how I should deal with this anger. I have blocked her out of my life and accepted that I will never see her again. Now I'm just left with myself and all these angry emotions and no where to put them. I have smashed and thrown away anything that reminded me of her, but I'm still angry. This feeling keeps holding me back from moving on and bettering myself. I really just wish that I can turn on a switch and and forget everything about my ex as fast as she forgot about me. Although life isn't that easy is it?
Sorry if this shit post was hard to read as Im still fresh from this break up. I just wanted to share my story and see if there was any suggestions on how to move on from this kind of break up. I just want to get rid of all this rage I have and I can't find a healthy way to do it. I stay up at night thinking how my ex is probably fucking her new boyfriend while I'm sitting here in a shell of my former self.
Hey man,
Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear what you're going through. It sounds like a very tough pill to swallow, but it also sounds like this is exactly the pill you need to be swallowing where you are right now in your life. Let me explain.
You're describing what happened from your perspective. Understandable, it's what we default to. At the same time we can often glean the most insight into a situation if we look at it and describe it from a perspective other than our own. In your story in particular I suspect you'd feel differently about the situation if you'd be able to look at it differently. Here's an example.
You say she was lying to you. That's possible, but I think it's unlikely. It's far more likely her feelings changed, over time. It's difficult to be aware of what you're feeling exactly. It gets more difficult when your feelings evolve. It's more difficult still to accurately articulate your feelings. And if you're in a relationship where you're not trained and conditioned to articulate your feelings... well... you're not going to be hearing a whole lot of truth, that's for sure. But is it lying? I wouldn't say so.
So from your perspective she's not telling you the truth. But, perhaps, from her perspective, she didn't know the truth. Perhaps what she knew evolved, and has continued to evolve. Telling you she's not sure if she wants to be in a committed relationship anymore is an attempt at an easy let-down. It's her attempt at leaving the relationship without hurting your feelings.
Adopting a different perspective not only gives you more insight (and a better approximation of the truth), it also get rids of the notion that you were "lied" to. If you weren't lied to, there's less reason for you to be angry. Isn't that what you wanted to begin with?
There's something else going on here, if you've followed me this far. If you're able to look at your situation from a different viewpoint, gain insight and dissolve anger, all of that is happening in your head. None of it has to do with her. It's all about how you're approaching your thoughts and how you're interpreting what's happening in your life. Only by taking responsibility yourself for feeling angry can you work to overcome it.
Next, you mention that you "never once thought her feelings were going another way because I trusted everything she told me." I would be careful here not to cast everything into a black-and-white world where someone can either be trusted or not, or what they say is true or not. A woman can feel unsure about how she feels about you, but that doesn't mean she'll tell you in your face. And there are many instances where I think she shouldn't. Think about it. Some days you may feel more in love than others. If you're feeling less in love one day, should you tell your partner right away? And are you lying if you don't? No, of course not. It takes a while before you're able to see a pattern. And even when you do, it can be a short pattern that passes. These things aren't pinned down easily.
It's part of your job in a relationship and as a man to keep tabs on your woman's emotional state. Is she feeling happy? Is she feeling fulfilled? What she says is one thing, but how is she carrying herself, what is she radiating, what is she doing with her life? Words are only a small part of the story. It's more about noticing how she's feeling than asking how she's feeling. She won't spell it out for you, you need to develop a sixth sense for this.
This, incidentally, is what relationships teach you. If you're not in tune with how your partner feels, you have no barometer and no self-correction mechanism. If there is distance between you and your partner and if that distance is growing, you will be unaware of it and unable to correct course.
So, rather than believing that you did nothing to deserve this, that she lied to you and that that is the cause of your anger. I would encourage you to experiment with taking more responsibility for how you're feeling. What if your anger is the consequence of looking at this through your eyes only? Instead of asking what you did to deserve this, ask yourself what you did that got yourself here. Were there really no signs she was losing attraction for you? Was your sex-life amazing until the day you two broke up? Unlikely. You want to move past the anger? Let's start with some radical honesty with yourself.
