Mon February 28, 2005 - Southeast Edition
What some say is the largest earthmoving project in history not only smashed records but spurred the creation of a new piece of construction equipment.
A specially-designed machine to lay rip-rap was built by Morrisen-Knudsen in Boise, ID.
The machine, which was described in the May 1981 edition of eM-Kayan magazine as resembling a "huge steel bridge frame," was used to help protect the slopes along 11 mi. of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, a 234-mi. (377 km) canal that connects these two major rivers to provide a shorter travel time to the Gulf of Mexico.
The machine was disassembled, shipped to the site, and then reassembled.
A self-propelled unit, the machine's main truss was 145 ft. (44 m) long, the magazine said, and was powered by its own electrical generator.
During its operation, front-end loaders supplied rip-rap to a shuttle hopper, which, in turn, transferred the rock to a feeder hopper that moved up the truss while placing a uniform blanket of rip-rap on the slope. It could lay approximately 270 tons (245 t) of rip-rap per hour on the slope, which averaged 90 ft. (27 m) long.
Hearing about this machine was just one of the memories Al Wise has of his time working on the Tenn-Tom from 1975-79.
Just out of the University of Alabama, Wise joined the Army Corps of Engineers' efforts in the construction of the waterway.
And now, more than 20 years after the Tenn-Tom opened to traffic, Wise plays a major role in the waterway as its operations manager.
The Corps of Engineers acted as the project manager for the $2-billion project and brought on private contractors to perform the work through more than 100 contracts for everything from excavation and dredging to construction of the 10 locks and dams.
The project required the excavation of approximately 310 million cu. yds. (237 million cu m) of dirt — approximately 100 million dump truck loads.
The contracts for the locks ran from $30 million to $80 million, while some other contracts earned private contractors millions.
"My job was very challenging," Wise said. "I loved to go to work everyday."
During the canal's creation, Wise started as an engineer intern and worked up to the role of office engineer at the Tom Bevill Lock and Dam near Aliceville, AL. He also worked at the Aberdeen Lock and Dam site as assistant resident engineer in charge of field operations.
The Bevill lock and dam was constructed in a rural area, where Wise said crews got to the job site through a cow pasture.
With so much work available to those in the construction industry during the project, which ran from December 1972 to December 1984, Wise said skilled workers moved to the area from all over the country and many had a hard time finding a place to live.
However, more than 85 percent of the workers were locals. Each project's contract included a clause that local workers should be given priority during hiring.
Diversity also was stressed to the contractors. By the end of the project, 33 percent of the workers were minorities and 5 percent were female.
Approximately $450 million in contracts was awarded to minority firms. Wise said he works with many people who learned their skills during the canal's construction.
Like Wise, Paul Perkins also carries with him fond memories of the Tenn-Tom's construction.
Now owner of Construction Contract Specialist in Shalimar, FL, a consulting firm, Perkins worked on the Tenn-Tom project for a decade.
Approximately a year of work had already occurred by the time Perkins was assigned to the construction of the lock and dam near Gainesville, AL. Following his time there, he was moved to the Aberdeen Lock and Dam site.
First assigned to the project as a project engineer, a title he said sounds a lot more impressive than its duties, he had been promoted to an assistant resident engineer by the end of construction.
Perkins said the aspects of the waterway on which he worked proved to be a challenge just because of the scope of the work.
"The sheer volume of the work was overwhelming," he said.
Coordinating all the different aspects on the project was a difficult task.
This was complicated even more by the presence of U.S. 45 and railroad tracks at the Aberdeen site, since crews were not allowed to interrupt the flow of train or vehicle traffic.
There, crews constructed temporary trusses on which the road and tracks ran.
The successful completion of the Aberdeen Lock received a lot of attention since it was the final lock the Mobile office supervised; the Nashville, TN, office oversaw the remaining lock.
For the workers, it was "champagne time" when the first barge came through, Perkins said.
Without much else in that part of Alabama, he said the 200-ton Manitowac cranes dominated the view. The job site was filled with a bevy of dozers, excavators and other heavy equipment.
The work involved in the 174 ft. (53 m) deep canal's construction was almost inconceivable.
It required the movement or replacement of 22 bridges, projects, which were placed in the hands of the states of Alabama and Mississippi.
Crews kicked off construction with the Howell Heflin Lock and Dam. For this and the other nine locks, more than 2.2 million cu. yds. (1.7 million cu m) of concrete and 33,000 tons (30,000 t) of reinforcing steel were required.
Wise said one of the most challenging portions of the construction project sparked some improvements in technology.
The Divide Cut, a 27-mi. (43.5 km) canal that connects the Tenn-Tom with Pickwick Lake, required crews to cut through the hills of northeast Mississippi between the two river basins.
This project also fell within the Nashville district's 26- mi. (42 km) stretch of the Tenn-Tom.
In that area alone, more than 150 million cu. yds. (115 million cu m) of dirt was removed to create a 12 ft. (3.7 m) deep, 280 ft. (85 m) wide canal that can be seen from outer space.
Seven contractors worked for approximately eight years on the Divide Cut, which is where Morrisen-Knudsen's rip-rap machine performed its duties.
Perkins said he didn't have time to miss working on the Tenn-Tom because the Corps kept him busy with other projects throughout the country. "But I go back quite often and look at it with pride."
Opinions Vary on Economic Impact of Tenn-Tom(/span>
TUSCALOOSA, AL (AP) Some call it a boon to industrial development and commercial trade in Alabama and Mississippi.
Others said it's a boondoggle, a waste of 2 billion taxpayer dollars that cost farmers their land and animals their habitat.
The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway was born in controversy that, two decades later, it is still trying to shake. Has the waterway been worth the investment and the sacrifices required to build it?
Providing a definitive answer would be difficult, said Carl Ferguson, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Alabama.
"But I would ask this: Where was Alabama 20 years ago?" Ferguson said. "We weren't even on the map for people looking to locate industries and businesses. Today, we are very much a player not only nationally, but internationally.
"Now is that all because of the Tenn-Tom? Of course not, but it was one of many factors that all came together about two decades ago that paved the way for JVC, Mercedes and the other industries that have located in West Alabama."
Still, 7 million tons of commercial goods are annually shipped down the Tenn-Tom, far short of the estimated 28 million tons cited in a study used to justify construction.
Environmentalists have raised concerns about the effect the mixing of the Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers has had on aquatic life and lament the loss of hardwood habitat for the flora and fauna of the land.
Proponents noted that the connection of the two major rivers has spurred industrial development in parts of the state and was considered a major influence in luring Boeing to Decatur. Future indicators show that commercial traffic is likely to grow in the coming decades.
The Tenn-Tom also is heavily used for recreation by residents, attracting 2.6 million visits a year and bringing tourism dollars to communities along its banks.
Planners had high hopes for the usefulness of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in preparing a cost/benefit analysis of the canal.
The link from the upper Ohio River valley to the Gulf of Mexico was expected to be well regarded among commercial shippers as a shorter route to the sea.
But the barge traffic has been slow.
A study released in 1975 projected that the annual commerce moving over the waterway would be 28 million tons in the initial year, with an increase to 99 million tons by the 50th year of the project.
But less than 7 million tons of commercial goods were shipped along the waterway in 2003, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center.
Brent Blackwelder, who worked with the Environmental Policy Institute in the 1970s, said the promises were that the Tenn-Tom would create an industrial river valley like that around the Ohio River and in such cities as Pittsburgh through East Mississippi and West Alabama.
"The taxpayers were taken for a ride," he said. "The traffic projections they needed to break even on the deal haven't come close to that level, maybe a quarter of it. It's that bad."
Why the discrepancy between projections and reality? Blame the Middle East oil embargo of the 1970s, some said.
In 1973, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries stopped exporting petroleum to the United States and greatly increased oil prices to U.S. allies after the United States helped Israel repel an attack by Egyptian and Syrian forces within its borders.
The embargo led to panic around the world and a search for alternative energy sources.
Coal, which is plentiful in the Appalachian region of the United States, was expected to fill the void. In fact, the 1975 Tenn-Tom study anticipated that 22 million tons of coal would be shipped down the waterway annually.
"The detractors looked at that study as a gimmick to get the project built," said Don Waldon, director of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Authority, "but this was the universal thinking of what was going to happen to our energy policy."
But the embargo was lifted and the world again received its share of petroleum at a lower price.
Also, power plant operators in Florida and elsewhere once relied on coal shipped from the Ohio River Valley that could have been shipped on the Tenn-Tom. But the plants began importing coal and the waterway wasn't needed for transport.
Al Wise, Tenn-Tom operations manager of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, said simply measuring the weight of objects shipped down the waterway is not a fair way to determine if the Tenn-Tom was worth the cost.
He said that a 150-ton rocket shipped from the Boeing plant in Decatur is much more valuable than the same tonnage of coal.
Former Mississippi Gov. Ronnie Musgrove invoked the same comparison in a letter to Corps Chief Lt. Gen. Robert Flowers in 2002 imploring the Corps to reconsider how it treats all commerce the same in its reporting.
Musgrove wrote that one Delta IV rocket was worth $38 million, or the equivalent of 1.2 million tons of coal.
The Tenn-Tom proved particularly useful in 1988 when a summer drought closed the Mississippi River to barge traffic. The waterway was used as an alternative route and kept plants in the Ohio Valley and Midwestern states supplied with essential raw materials.
But when the water level on the Mississippi rose, the barge traffic returned. The disadvantage of the Tenn-Tom is that it is much narrower than the Mississippi and harder to navigate, said Charles Haun, executive vice president of Parker Towing Co., a barge-towing service based in Tuscaloosa.
While the Mississippi can allow a tow as large as 60 barges to flow down it (although a tow half that size is the norm), the Tenn-Tom can hold only eight barges at a time in its locks.
The Tenn-Tom is at least 300 ft. wide over its entire length, but the inside dimensions of its 10 locks are 110 ft. wide by 600 ft. long.
Those lock sizes are fairly standard across the country, except for on the Ohio River. The newer locks there are 1,200 ft. long.
The locks on the Mississippi River are the same dimensions as those on the Tenn-Tom, but none of them are south of St. Louis, which means commercial traffic isn't slowed down by navigating a lock system.
"The lower Mississippi is probably the most efficient transportation system in the world," Waldon said.
Even though the Tenn-Tom provides a shorter route between the Ohio River Valley and the Gulf of Mexico than the Mississippi, the inability for large tows prevents it from getting as much traffic, said James K. Lyons, director of the Alabama State Port Authority.
Compare the 307 million tons of commodities shipped through the Mississippi to the 7 million transported along the Tenn-Tom.
"It's the economics of scale. We're not going to do as much because of the transportation dynamics," Lyons said.
Still, Haun said the Tenn-Tom is the best way to go upstream. A small tow heading north will usually choose the Tenn-Tom over the Mississippi because the river has a swift current.
"The Mississippi is great for bringing loads down, but it's murder pushing barges up," he said. "You're sometimes lucky to make three miles per hour."
Tows can make twice that rate going up the Tenn-Tom, he said. Conversely, it's about twice as fast to go down the Mississippi.
"While the waterway never lived up to those projections on tonnage, I think the waterway has been a good investment for Alabama and the nation," Waldon said.
He said that between $4 billion and $5 billion in industrial development can be attributed in some way to the Tenn-Tom, although very little of it has taken place in West Alabama.
The largest investments include a $750-million Weyerhaeuser paper mill in Columbus, MS, the $450-million Boeing plant in Decatur and a $450-million Ipsco Steel plant near Mobile.
Waldon said the reason many communities along the canal haven't seen more development has nothing to do with less-than-expected barge traffic.
"The problems that have inhibited industrial development in West Alabama are the same ones that groups like the Black Belt Action Commission are trying to address," he said. "You can have waterfront property, but if you don't have the infrastructure and other amenities, you're not going to get industry moving there."
Proponents of the waterway argue that the Tenn-Tom has proved beneficial by helping to reduce transportation costs for manufacturers and producers in as many as 14 states.

Boluda France Orders Two Tugs from Piriou Group
In March 2018, Boluda France, a subsidiary of Boluda Corporacion Maritima - the second largest towage operator worldwide - had ordered a new series of tugs from Piriou shipyard with a firm order for two first units to be delivered in June 2019.
The next two units -the order of which was confirmed in May 2018- will be delivered by the end of 2019.
In this series of eight tugs, two new units were confirmed by Boluda France to Piriou for a delivery in May 2020.
Built by Piriou Vietnam with a standard Piriou design which meets Boluda France's specific requirements, the six tugs of this new series -with a bollard pull of 77 tonnes and measuring 30.3m- will be put to service in French harbors.
This order comes after a first series of eight 70 tonnes bollard pull tugs built by Piriou for Boluda France between 2007 and 2009 and a second series of six tugs built by Piriou's Vietnamese shipyard which were delivered between 2015 and 2017: VB Ouragan, VB Cyclone, VB Typhon, VB Tempete, VB Volcan, VB Tornade.
Vincent Faujour, Piriou General Manager declares: "This new firm order shows our Vietnamese shipyard has been able to maintain the confidence of a longstanding and major customer for our group. We are thus continuing the strategic partnership we initiated with Boluda France 20 years ago. This is the sign of mutual confidence and respect."
Denis Monserand, Boluda France General Manager adds: 'With this new firm order, we confirm our trust in Piriou shipyard which has been designing for us and delivering quality tugs perfectly adapted to our customers' requirements. This new series will be built with increased power compared to the previous generation, to reach a 77 tonnes bollard pull. This will allow our crews to operate in the best safety conditions vessels of ever-growing length'.
Multipurpose harbor and coastal ASD tugs with Escort class
These units will be built on the OST 30' (Omni Stern Tug) model, issued from the range of tugs designed by Piriou.
The OST 30 is a multipurpose tug developed for "push pull" type towage and harbor assistance operations as well as deep sea operations. With a hull length of 30.3m, it is also fitted to bring assistance to vessels in access channels.
This tug is equipped with two aft azimuth propellers (Azimuth Stern Drive), driven by two marine medium-speed diesel engines, fresh-water cooled with box cooler refrigerants.
At the bridge, the ergonomics of the single-command control station and the high visibility over the entire working area and its surroundings allow the captain to maneuver his tug alone.
In order to answer to operating conditions required by Boluda France, these tugs will be fitted with many pieces of equipment including:
- Fi-Fi 1 equipment for fire fighting
- Aft sea towing winch and tugger winch for deep sea towage
- Double drum fore winch with Escort function
The OST 30 are designed to be maintained every five years with special antifouling and ICAF system. Accommodation is in accordance with ILO 2006 requirements and special attention is paid to noise reduction.
Main characteristics
Length overall: 30.3 m
Breadth molded: 10.4 m
Depth at main deck: 4.45 m
Max. draft: 5.3 m
Bollard pull @ 100% MCR: 77 t
Fuel capacity: 85 m3
Fresh water capacity: 16 m3
Speed: 13 kn
Propulsion: 2 x 2240 kW
Crew: 6
Hull/superstructure: steel
A full range of tugs providing solutions for harbors operators
With over 20 years' experience in tug construction, Piriou has developed a complete range of compact and versatile tugs, from 24 to 32m in length and providing bollard pulls of 30 to 95 tonnes:
- A tugboat for harbor assistance: OST 24W
- Versatile tugboats for harbor and coastal service: OST 24, OST 28, OST 30, OST 32
- A tugboat for escort and terminal services: OST 32E

Discussion in 'Cheats' started by steffjes, Mar 3, 2016.
I put it in and it seemed to work just fine. Idk why its not working for you.
Are you sure that you're unzipping it, and placing the fish.xnb that's inside that zip in contents\data and backing up the official fish.xnb?
I gave you the exact fish.xnb that I've been using since I modified it and it's a lot easier than vanilla. Though I use the "Easier" and not the "Super-Easy" version.
I uploaded the mod into the official mod repo.
Since @steffjes has not been active since July, and since this mod was never in the repo to begin with, I can only figure that I'm doing everybody a service by doing this. If there's a problem with that, I (or a moderator) can take the mod down, np.
Just figured I'd help people out that way.
here's the repo version:
I too would like to know this. I would love to see the super easy version available again
You should be able to do the exact same thing I said to do with the "easier fishing" above: download the super easier fish.xnb, unpack it, add the last two lines (give them both I dunno 20-30 challenge) and then re-pack and viola. done.
This mod has always been just too easy IMO, requiring almost no user action for most fish, at that point you might as well just remove the fishing mini-game.
I've always found this fishing mod to be a bit better but it does require SMAPI. It isn't updated for 1.1, but I've had no issues after 30+ hours with it.
It has a config for personalizing how easy/hard you want it:
"AlwaysPerfect": false,
"AlwaysFindTreasure": false,
"InstantCatchFish": false,
"InstantCatchTreasure": false,
"EasierFishing": false,
"FishDifficultyMultiplier": 1.0,
"FishDifficultyAdditive": 0.0,
"LossAdditive": 0.002,
"InfiniteTackle": false,
"InfiniteBait": false
This is what I use, basically this is the exact same as the vanilla fishing but the bar loss is 3x slower. It still keeps the unique movements of each fish as CA intended.
"AlwaysPerfect": false,
"AlwaysFindTreasure": false,
"InstantCatchFish": false,
"InstantCatchTreasure": false,
"EasierFishing": false,
"FishDifficultyMultiplier": 1.0,
"FishDifficultyAdditive": 0.0,
"LossAdditive": 0.002,
"InfiniteTackle": false,
"InfiniteBait": false
The point of it being easy is that some of us have crippling arthritis and I can play with mod or not play SDV, given that choice I choose the mod. I have no problems with easy or hard just that I don't want my hand to hurt like hell, I would have been satisfied if the developer had done something like World of Warcraft fishing that was based on rng, but with the use of mod, I can now play and be able to complete quests that require fishing items.
Okay good news, I'm going to include Easier Fishing in my mod repo version of Easier Fishing. Please check the instructions.
Thank you so much Xylia! I edited the XNB file for the super easy fishing to work with 1.1 using your instructions -- Because I'm sure there are many like me who desperately need the accessibility.
For those that don't have a use for this mod, good for you. But please consider this: Many of us are disabled and fishing the vanilla way could potentially trigger a flare. This mod is an accessibility tool for many of us. If you find no use for it, then you're probably not the intended audience for the mod to begin with. Feel free to turn around and walk away.
Being able to play without the mod doesn't make you superior or special. It just means you're more privileged than us who can't play the game otherwise. Not to mention, being able to choose the difficulty that makes the game enjoyable for us takes nothing from your personal enjoyment. So please be respectful. Because guess what, disabled people exist and we enjoy gaming as well.
I already updated my mod, but having a direct link in here doesn't hurt either. What values did you use for the 2 new fish? I made the one 20 and the other 15.
EDIT: And yeah I do not appreciate Dark Souls type people talking down on people who just want to have a relaxing time playing a game that's not really meant to be uber-difficult. If they want Dark Souls, they can go and buy Dark Souls. I'm not talking down on them either; I just wish they'd keep their MLG attitudes to their own circles and leave us casuals alone to our own circles and we could all be happy. The whole point of a moddable game is to mod it to the player's pleasure. That's what games are for, right? To have fun? Obviously a player is not having fun if they are unable to succeed at the game because it is just too difficult for whatever reason (medical, mental, etc). Most games have a difficulty slider, but this one does not.
The auto fishing mod uses 1/smooth difficulty for all fishes, so that's what I use for the new fishes.
And yeah I agree 100% -- Wanting a game to be the right level of challenging is one thing, but everyone's abilities differ. Being able to play on higher difficulty doesn't necessarily mean one is superior, either. Sometimes it means they're just more privileged (having your abilities considered the "default" by most game devs is certainly a privilege).
Like you said, the whole point of gaming is for fun -- And we deserve to have fun too.
Thank you x1000000 for this! I just cannot get good with fishing as-is plus my hand hurts after trying so much. sigh
Cheers to all the life (and hand) savers out there!
You're very welcome, FieryDove! I have chronic pain on my hand so this was necessary for me to keep playing. I figured I'm not the only one! ^^;
Okay so I just opened SV for the first time since the 1.1 update rolled out, and I used Xylia's uploaded fish.xnb file, but when I tried fishing the game crashed and opened up a werfault.exe error reporting command? Any help would be appreciated seeing as I can't fish with the regular fishing lol.
Edit: Just downloaded the mod posted over @ the repo, and now it's working. for some reason when I went to put the mod in content/data there was NO Fish.xnb file to be found, even though I JUST placed it there like 10 minutes before. So don't know what happened there.
Someone said that they were using my mod and that fishing was still crashing them with the 2 new fish (the original fish work fine), but I haven't gotten a save file that far to test this yet (the 2 new fish require the CC to be done) but I hope to be able to do that today, or maybe tomorrow at the latest, to test if my mod does indeed crash the game with the 2 new fish and see if I can figure out why.
So i just had a lookie lu into SV's local files and the last time i played this game was months ago but i've like 136 some odd hours into this game so i've had the fishing mod for awhile well the shortcut to the original fish file has been on my desktop do i delete that one now that there's a new xnb file there?
and then follow the steps for the updated one in the mod repo?
Thank you so much for uploading this, as some have already said you've helped myself and so many others! I've found an extra level of enjoyment from the game now I can actually fish with this mod (rather than simply avoiding it due to bad reflexes and pain) which is what it's all about really.
Thank you for uploading. I can not fish with out a mod. I was hoping one would come out for the new update.
THANK YOU!!!! Really, thank you so much for the mod. I was thinking to give it a try myself but honestly I am no geek and wouldn't even know where to start, even with the kind advice of samiam790 (thank to you also for your patience with us noobs on this sub) and I would probably ruin my game. I am no hardcore gamer, I prefer strategies as Caesar and silly stuff like the sims and so and the fishing was really hard for me, as I lack the coordination skills of a "real" gamer. Plus, now I can also play my beloved Stardew Valley again even after work when my carpal tunnel is quite sore. Really, thank you so much.
THANK YOU. I can't fish regularly either. But I'm having issues downloading your link. It keeps popping up as an error here in the forums. Did you already take it down?

Vital to maintain English-native languages balance: Javed Akhtar
Lyricist Javed Akhtar lamented the fact that parents and youngsters today give far greater importance to English as compared to native Indian languages, a fact that reflects in the quality of languages in dialogues and songs in present-day Hindi films.bollywood Updated: Mar 04, 2016, 11:47 IST
Popular Bollywood lyricist and Urdu poet Javed Akhtar feels we are giving too much importance to English as against our native languages. He added that the quality of language in dialogues and songs in present-day Hindi films reflects a lack of command that most youngsters have on Indian languages.
A balance should be maintained, he said, pointing out that the solution lies in parents inculcating healthy reading habits in their children. It is something that comes naturally to his own children -- filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar, he said.
Read: Literature in lyrics and poetry lost in Indian cinema, feels Javed Akhtar
At the launch of Zee Classic's new show The Golden Years 1950 - 1975, A musical journey with Javed Akhtar, the veteran writer-lyricist, asked about the deteriorating quality of lyrics in Bollywood, said: "It is simple to accuse a lyricist or music director, but if you see carefully, it is a very complicated situation.
"Vocabulary itself has shrunk in the society... One reason is our education system, in which literature is not on the list of priority. For the last 30 to 40 years, we are not exposing our children to literature and poetry."
Expressing dissent over the limited use of proverbs in speech, Akhtar said: "Knowledge of vernacular language is limited... How many children are there who would have read a poetry book or seen their parents read one?
"When they are not exposed to poetry and have not been taught importance of language, the language will shrink, and it will reflect in dialogues and songs."
Read: Javed Akhtar, Ashok Vajpayee to explore the spirit of Urdu
He said that "because of liberalisation and corporatisation, English has become too important for us," but was quick to add that he does not undermine the importance of English.
"What is wrong is that we are learning that language at the cost of (not knowing) our mother tongue. This should not happen," stressed the 71-year-old, who has penned films like Zanjeer and Sholay and is adept at Urdu, Hindi and English.
The problem, he feels, lies in the fact that while the upper middle class section of the society is sending children to English speaking school, it is the 'deprived classes' who are going to vernacular schools.
Watch Javed Akhtar recite Urdu poetry here:
"Language is getting nurtured in harsh and deprived socio-economic conditions. And privileged class is learning English. In every society, it is the middle class that nurtures language, but our middle class has nothing to do with our language (nowadays)."
Read: Javed Akhtar against censor board's plan to ban cuss words in films
Delving upon the state of the film industry, he said that young filmmakers who are below 30 "haven't really read their language". "He does not know Hindi or Urdu well... He dreams also in English. So how will he understand?"
In this scenario, Akhtar feels "children should be bilingual" as they become smarter.

First day of school!
First day of school blog posts are a pretty big deal, you know.
Got there a bit early, but my train wouldn't permit otherwise, so whatever. The first class is on the fifth floor and I make the foolish decision to use the stairs to get there. Not the smartest thing I ever did, but it'll only have a chance of occurring once a week, and at least it's exercise. So I get there all huffing and puffing, and meet up with classmates. "Oh hey new hair." "Yes new hair." Everyone seemed to have had a nice vacation, so that's good.
Class starts. Even though the subject is called something different on the roster, it's introduced as "data persistence". The teacher seems like an okay guy. After a brief introduction we get to make a short test to evaluate if we're still up to par. Three wrong answers on the fourteen questions long test, not too bad I guess. Still a bit rusty, but whatever.
Remember how I said I'd have school 'til five thirty? Well, apparently the second class is just a room that's reserved for us to use, and thus presence is never mandatory. Sweet, get to go home twelve thirty.
When I sat down in the train on my way home, I noticed a piece of paper taped to the back of the seat in front of mine.
Hey Stranger,
Have a nice day!
ps. don't forget ur beautifull After the initial annoyance of weird capitalization and bad spelling left me, I smiled. It's not as good as someone saying that to my face, but it's something, and definitely succeeded in doing what it needed to do, put a smile on a face.
On the back it said, slightly less romantic,
Your bill number: 28
There's our number of the month, I guess.
So eh, kind of uneventful, boring first day of school. Can't say this year looks very promising yet, but let's hope that changes soon.

Q: Can acupuncture be used for a trapped nerve in the neck and what would the treatment involve?
A: We gave this reply some time ago to the first part of your question:
The term 'trapped nerve' usually describes what is more technically called a nerve impingement or nerve compression. A common cause is a bulge in one of the vertebral discs which compresses the nerve root, but there are a number of other fairly frequent causes which do not necessarily involve a structural change in the upper spine.
If the problem is structural there may be some value in having some form of manipulation alongside or instead of acupuncture treatment. Osteopaths and chiropractors often treat this problem as one of their 'stock' items for referral. However, a great many problems of this nature are caused either by spasms of the muscles which in turn impinge the nerves or by inflammation of the surrounding tissues. In both cases acupuncture, both in the traditional Chinese form used by BAcC members and in the western medical form used by doctors and physios, is frequently used to good effect, and there is considerable evidence for the successful treatment of inflammation and muscle spasm with acupuncture. Most studies are done on chronic, rather than acute, neck pain, but the results of a very large German study condcted five years ago
are typical of the kinds of outcomes reported, although Ernst and White were not quite so positive in their review
However, there are significant problems with 'sham' acupuncture, so one has to take their conclusion with some reservations.
There is often a significant overlap between the acupuncture points and techniques used by both traditions, but we believe that an advantage of traditional acupuncture is that it looks at the whole system in determining what treatment to offer rather than simply treating the part which hurts. In most cases the treatment will focus on the problem but there are often occasions where the causes, from an Eastern perspective, of this one problem are not simply to do with the area affected, and the skill of Chinese medicine lies in making sure that the symptom does not come back, not simply that it goes away.
It may well be worth while contacting a BAcC member local to you to ask if they will give you an honest assessment of whether they can help your specific problem.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Masterworks Choir will perform its final concert of the season at 5 p.m. Sunday as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
The free concert will be held at the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center in downtown Florence.
The performance will feature the world premiere of a work written for this occasion by Houston composer Terre Johnson titled "The Gift to Sing," along with a large-scale work, "Jubilate Deo," by South Carolina composer Dan Forrest.
A reception will be held immediately following the performance and all audience members and participating musicians are invited to attend.
Conducting the program will be Will Carswell, the choir's music director.
The 70-voice Masterworks Choir began as an all-male choir in 1979 under the direction of founding music director William B. Mills. Along with serving as conductor of Masterworks, Mills was the organist and director of music at Central United Methodist Church for more than 40 years.
After Mills died in 2012, Carswell became only the second music director of the Masterworks Choir. Known for his innovative programming and thoughtful interpretations of classical and contemporary works, Carswell has expanded the repertoire of the choir and has actively pursued touring opportunities, the most recent being a performance tour to Italy in 2016 and the choir's Carnegie Hall debut in 2014. Next month, 50 members of the choir will travel to central Europe to give concerts in Budapest, Salzburg, Vienna and Prague.
In addition to the Masterworks Choir, Sunday's concert also will feature the Masterworks Children's Choir. Formed three years ago by founding director Sandra Howard, the Children's Choir will be highlighted in both choral works. Children first sang with Masterworks in a 2015 concert that was very well-received. That success led to the formation of an ongoing children's choir as a part of the Masterworks organization. There are 24 children in the choir.
"Our children are singing the music beautifully," Howard said, "and I am thrilled to work with these fun, energetic and talented young singers. The opportunity to perform serious choral music in a concert hall like the FMU Performing Arts Center with the Masterworks Choir and orchestra is a wonderful learning experience for these young people."
Guest performers at Sunday's concert are soprano Serena Hill-LaRoche and mezzo-soprano Jami Rhodes.
Currently, Hill-LaRoche is an instructor of voice at the University of South Carolina. She works with students in applied voice, diction and vocal pedagogy.
Rhodes is an associate professor of voice at East Carolina University, where she teaches applied voice, serves as coordinator of applied pedagogy and conducts ECU's treble ensemble and the ECU Concert Choir.
The choirs will be accompanied by a full orchestra of 38 musicians.
"The preparation for our spring concert has been a marvelous journey and a true joy," Carswell said. "Incredible melodies, exciting rhythms, beautiful texts and creative orchestrations all combine for a memorable musical experience. Add to that the angelic voices of children and our guest soloists and the result is a concert you do not want to miss."
Veteran Masterworks accompanist Beverly Hazelwood agrees.
"The audience is going to love this program," she said. "The opportunity to premiere a new choral work along with performing Dan Forrest's thrilling 'Jubilate Deo' is the perfect ending to our 40th anniversary season."
Though no tickets are required for this concert, an offering will be collected. Seating is on a first-come basis. The Masterworks Choir is able to continue to perform free concerts because of the philanthropic donations from loyal supporters.
"So many individuals, businesses, corporations and foundations in the Pee Dee region are faithful supporters of this organization," Carswell said. "Performing great choral music really well is our gift back to the community."

In our work helping corporations design and implement innovation strategies, we found a majority of our clients had launched idea crowdsourcing platforms. But as we talked with the people who built and managed these platforms, we learned that many had been launched with great fanfare and quietly forgotten only months later. To help you avoid the same fate, we interviewed dozens of Fortune 500 companies that have launched idea crowdsourcing platforms – some successfully / some not – and created this guide.
How to Sell an Innovation Program to Your Boss
You've seen the alarming statistics and heard the sad tales of corporation disruption. As a corporate employee, you'd like to help your team avoid the same fate. You've told your boss about other companies who have found success using entrepreneurial methods to innovate, but it's not enough to win time, money or permission. Here are some tips from my successes and failures that I thought I'd share.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB) January 29, 2018
Tali, the leader in voice-driven time entry, and Rocket Matter, the leading cloud legal practice management software, have joined forces to create an innovative conversational time tracking workflow for attorneys. Through the integration, lawyers can speak their time entries to Amazon Alexa and automatically generate electronic invoices and payment links through Rocket Matter.
Time tracking and manual time entry can be a tedious, time-consuming, and frustrating process for lawyers that ultimately results in lost billable hours and significant administrative effort. Tali makes these processes so much easier. Lawyers can simply say things like, "Alexa, tell Tali I spent 12 minutes on a client phone call for Jones" in order to track time, as opposed to jotting time down on Post-it notes or sifting through your inbox and calendar to recreate your day or week.
Meanwhile, Rocket Matter makes it very easy for legal professionals to quickly generate invoices, collect on them through electronic payment links, and keep all of their firm's finances and client data organized.
"The Tali and Rocket Matter integration was a no-brainer for us: our customers want tools that are easy-to-use, and Rocket Matter is one of the most user-friendly practice management platforms out there. Voice-driven time tracking helps lawyers capture more of their billable time, while the integration with Rocket Matter completely eliminates the pain and frustration associated with manual time entry, saving users time and improving their productivity," said Matt Volm, CEO and co-founder of Tali.
"It's hard to believe how far we've been able to push the efficiency envelope with billing over the past ten years," says Larry Port, CEO of Rocket Matter. "We started with single invoices and then moved to batch billing and online payment solutions. Now our attorneys can speak their time entries through the brilliant work of the people at Tali."
Tali is one of the first technology firms to leverage Rocket Matter's relaunched API. The new API exposes almost every function inside of Rocket Matter for third parties to integrate with.
About Rocket Matter
Rocket Matter helps law firms offer better client service and also increase revenues by more than 20%. The company was the first cloud-based legal practice management software on the market, landing its first client in 2007. It has been a leader ever since.
Rocket Matter has the most powerful, easy-to-use time and billing software in the industry. Also, when law firms want to make more money, go paperless, or increase confidence in their trust accounting, Rocket Matter helps them achieve those goals. With award-winning customer service based in the United States, it's no wonder thousands of law firms swear by Rocket Matter.
About Tali
Tali is the leader in voice-driven time tracking and productivity software for the professional services industry. With the help of voice technology, like Amazon Alexa, Tali makes time capture easy and seamless. Through 3rd party integrations with existing invoicing and billing systems such as Rocket Matter, Tali completely automates the time entry process for lawyers and law firms of all sizes. Based in Portland, Oregon and launched in 2017, Tali is used by legal professionals across the globe. Learn more at http://www.telltali.com.

Graffiti and Copyright
September 23, 2008
I wanted to add to my previous post on this to let my readers know what the end result was, both short and long term.
The sequence of events, as well as many good comments from supporters, is on my Flickr page.
Many of the affected artists visited the gallery to voice their displeasure. In addition, Simon Cole, of Show and Tell Gallery, went down - he handles the work for a number of the graffiti artists. Simon had to serve the gallery with a "cease and desist" letter on this - basically this is a warning of future legal action if the recipient does not comply. Usually within a very short time frame.
As a result of this:
- The show was taken down by May Karp (Sept 17)
- All the sales have been canceled
- The gallery will be sending written apologies to the artists
- They will also issue a public apology
- May Karp still states she didn't do anything wrong!
The reference for this was Canada's Copyright Act - a link to the on line version is here. (link updated May 11/13)
Sections 6.2, 13, 14.1, 28.1, and 34 were all relevant to the letter.
I'll summarize each section -
- 6.2 provides that copyright exists, even if the author is unknown. And up to 50 years from date of first publication. (I would think for graff art done on a wall - that is when it is "published")
- 13 specifies that the author of the work is the first owner of the copyright,
- 14.1 provides that the author of a work has the moral right to be associated with the work as its author by name or under a pseudonym and the right to remain anonymous,
- 28.1 discusses infringements on moral rights,
- 29 discusses fair dealing, and
- 34 describes the remedies (damages, etc)that someone whose copyright was infringed is then entitled to.
In addition, the act describes artistic work as "includes paintings, drawings, maps, charts, plans, photographs, engravings, sculptures, works of artistic craftsmanship, architectural works, and compilations of artistic works". In addition, it specifies that copyright exists in "every original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work".
Nothing about whether the work was done with permission or not, nothing about if in the public space. Those may well be issues for local authorities, but don't affect the copyright.
Ms Karp had assured my sister and I (at the show's opening) that her lawyer had advised her that there was not a problem with copyright. I would hope that she is following up with her lawyer now.
In addition, she cited her photographs of buildings as not needing copyright checks, using this as support for her argument that the photographs of graffiti art did not involve copyright. In fact, the same lawyer should have pointed out that Section 2.2 of the Copyright Act excludes photographs of architectural works specifically. So, not a relevant point.
So - short term the show was taken down. The gallery learned something, and the artists banded together.
Long term? Graffiti artists tend to be an independent group. This has brought a lot of them together in Toronto to establish their rights, to think of protecting those rights, and to consider how to better market themselves. Consider this NY Times story about Tats Cru in New York. They forced a publisher to pull a book of illegal photos of their work, and they get requests for permission now from film studios wanting to use their work as a backdrop for a shoot. I'd like to see more shows in TO of the work of these artists, as well as photos (with permission) of their work. I've heard rumours the gallery might re-do the show - the right way.
Maybe this will also get more of the artists organized to lobby for arts funding - research the issues, go to the all candidates meetings, present their case, debunk the candidate's standard arguements. For starters, here's an interesting article in the Globe and Mail that discusses the Conservative's claim that they have increased funding, the study concludes that there has actually been an erosion in funding.
Note - there will be a one night fundraiser at Charlie's Gallery (112 Harbord St.) to help recoup some of the legal fees associated with this fiasco. It will be happening on Thursday September 25th between 6 and 11pm. There will be an auction for original artwork and they will be selling prints as well.

It was a long six months of cold, and rain, plus the snow, but we have come full circle in time to reach this day, and the Skeena Valley is exploding with festivities and summer time life as the longest day of the year is upon us. The city of Terrace had a free breakfast/lunch, which was free. and today, we are heading out to the theatre for a free movie, also sponsored by the city of Terrace, BC. We are probably going to see (Men In Black 2019) as we are Si-Fi fans, instead of (Toy Story 4). So Happy Solstice, and all the goodness that goes with it. The only down side to today is, that after today, the days get shorter again.
This image, to me signify the start to the summer season, in Mm Humble Opinion, as this one, I took today at the Lake, just moments after a good down Pour of Rain, from a fast moving storm that reached the Lake and lasted only a few hours. This is Suz, conducting the clouds to move away from the lake and head over to Prince Rupert, and rain their. It worked, as she worked her magic, and conjured up the powers of nature and other mystical forces. You can see the clouds scattering away on the horizon in this shot over to Prince Rupert, BC.
OK, we were having some fun taking cool photos, but The day turned out awesome.
Yay, it is summer now, and let the party rip away for the next four months! We saw Men IN Black 2019, for free at the Tillicum Twin Theartre. It was awesome, and a bit of the Farmer's Market before it closed for the day. Then we drove out to Shames Mountain, the Ski Hill, and took a bunch of photos. Then off to Kitimat, BC to see the Ocean. It was a packed day. We drove all over the place. We even went to the Art Galley in the Terrace Library, and seen some really awesome paintings. I have taken so many shots but have so little time to post.

I love your designs even I'm from this field I studied in NIFT. I'm so much interested to work under you even if I'm not paid for that.I love your designs and innovative ideas can I get a job I want to work under you.
Manish Malhotra, a man who needs no introduction and one of the bigwigs of the Indian Fashion Industry. A brand, well renowned for eccentric Bollywood costumes as well as elegant regal contour, The Manish Malhotra brand is as diverse as they come! From the humble beginnings of a small time boutique owner, to the top notch fashion designer in India, this is his success story!
Manish was born in 1965 in a middle class family in Mumbai. As someone who recognized his calling early in life, he always knew that he wanted to foray into the glamorous world of Fashion. Even as a child, he was interested in the field, and would often style his mother and relatives. He honed this talent further by taking up painting and art classes and became very good at sketching and painting. Gradually, this talent turned into a passion and he started working with a boutique and took the first step towards his journey as a fashion designer.
The lack of formal education or diploma in Fashion Design, never deterred the young prodigy as he was intent on making it with his hard work and belief. Working in a boutique in Mumbai, he learnt the knicks and knacks of the profession and enhanced his skills as a designer. Familiar with the tastes of the middle class, he studied the taste of the rich and wealthy and found his way into designing clothes for men too, even though his forte even today lies with women clothing.
A true artist, Manish Malhotra clothes have a hint of Indian traditions coupled with the fashion sense only a designer with international repute possesses. He takes inspiration from nature, landscapes, art architecture, and conveys emotions through his designs. According to him, "What works for our Indian crafts is the mix of craftsmanship, culture and a touch of modernity." His clothes reflect the contemporary India by showcasing our traditional art forms like Chikankari, embroidery, Benarasi work and Indian motifs while creating silhouettes suitable for the modern empowered woman.
We all know that Manish Malhotra is one of the most sought after designers in Bollywood and he made his debut into the industry in 1990, at the age of 25! He designed costumes for Juhi Chawla, a renowned Indian actress for her movie 'Swarg' and thus began his era in Indian cinema. Having worked with several actresses like Sridevi, Urmila Matondkar, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Kareena Kapoor etc. he quickly made a niche in the fraternity and became a hot favorite designer for all the leading ladies of Bollywood.
At 39, he launched his own fashion label, 'Manish Malhotra' and etched his name among top fashion brands. Not only, has he designed several iconic pieces for Indian movies and dressed stars for red carpet events, parties and weddings, he also won international acclaim as a designer when he designed garments for the legendary singer Michael Jackson. He has since designed a lot of pieces for Hollywood celebrities like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell etc.
Manish Malhotra's success story has inspired a lot of young talent over decades. His form of expression is fabric and he will continue to dazzle us with his designs both on and off screen. We all have something to learn from this successful designer, that only through sheer hard work and talent does one man's ambition become his reality.

- Authorities reportedly visited the Florida shooting suspect's home 39 times over seven years.
- His mother frequently called 911 to report that he or his brother were threatening her or throwing things.
- One of his neighbours filmed him firing his pellet gun for target practice in his backyard.
Documents from the Broward County Sheriff's Office paint a troubling picture about the Florida shooting suspect's past and previous run-ins with law enforcement.
Authorities visited Cruz's home at least 39 times over a seven-year period, CNN reported Friday, though it wasn't immediately clear whether Cruz was involved in each incident.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, allegedly killed 17 people when he opened fire on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which he used to attend. In the following days, his former classmates, teachers, and neighbours told media there were overwhelming warning signs that Cruz's behaviour could take a violent turn.
His adoptive mother, Lynda Cruz, also knew her son could be violent, according to sheriff's reports obtained by BuzzFeed News. She repeatedly called 911 to report his behaviour, often complaining that Nikolas or his brother Zachary "threw items" or were "out of control."
"He has been cutting his arms, his mother said, to get attention, as he learned it from an ex-girlfriend," one deputy's report said. "He has mentioned in the past that he would like to purchase a firearm."
Conflicting reports on mental illness
In one 2012 occasion, Lynda Cruz called 911 to report that her sons were "threatening her." Nikolas and Zachary Cruz were 12 and 13 years old at the time.
The police returned to the Cruz home later that year after Nikolas attacked his mother with the plastic hose from a vacuum cleaner, according to another report.
One deputy noted in another report that Cruz appeared to suffer from mental illness, though a therapist on the scene "deemed Nikolas to be no threat to anyone or himself at this present time."
But in another report, officers wrote that both Nikolas and his brother were medicated for mental health issues, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Nikolas's neighbours also reported a series of disturbing incidents, telling media outlets that he had egged cars, frightened local children, and shot his pellet gun at animals.
Children appeared to fear Nikolas and would stand far apart from him at the bus stop near their homes, a former neighbour, Rhonda Roxburgh, told The Miami Herald. He also used to sit on the curb alone because "no one wanted to be around him."
"That child had an extremely cold stare," Roxburgh added. "He was going to hurt somebody. I just didn't know it would be this bad."
One neighbour provided a video to CNN that showed Nikolas conducting what appeared to be target practice in his backyard.

Sora is a researcher in the School of Science working in the ECU-Dampier Salt Ltd. project. The main objective of the project is to understand shorebird use of man-made salt works and natural salt lakes and provide Dampier Salt Ltd. with scientific information to develop a biodiversity management plan for these systems.
The central part of my research to date has largely focused on coastal ecology and biology, with special emphasis in animal ecology and trophic interactions on coastal habitats (intertidal and supratidal, temperate and tropical). Most of my research has been centred in shorebirds and soft bottom benthic invertebrate, how they interact with each other, with their environment and with human activities.
I have three main research areas:
