There are many issues or situations that will come up as you look to install or repair a chemical storage tank. Need to know how to properly retrofit a tank to store a different chemical? Looking at installing a new tank? Concerned about your 15-year-old polyethylene tank? Do the sidewall fittings, venting, and brackets of your tank ensure safe operation and long tank life? For the answers to your chemical storage tank questions, call the Poly Processing customer support team.
Our customer support team responds to chemical storage tank concerns regarding three main areas.
Installations and Startups
Proper installation is the first key to a successful and long-lasting operation. The first thing our customer service team does is examine the tank site. The installation site is inspected to ensure the tank is properly installed according to industry standards. Sidewall fittings, venting, and proper bracketing are inspected to make sure the risk of tank failure is minimized, and the tank's useful life is optimized. Many customers wish to avoid pipe support sidewall penetrations and design their own supports, which require inspection.
Every installation is unique. Chemical storage tank systems and installations can vary greatly based on the chemicals being stored, the location of the tank and surrounding environmental factors such as exposure to wind, sun, or location in an earthquake area, and how the tank is filled.
Service of Existing Tanks
This involves response to any and all tank issues that may arise, covered by warranty or not. We're regularly responding to customers' phone calls and email requests regarding tank maintenance and repairs such as fitting replacement and overall tank performance.
Specific warranty questions are answered as well. Is the tank leaking or compromised? Does the tank need to be replaced? Being proactive about these questions you encouter will help you extend the life of your tank and your investment.
Inspection and Evaluation of Older Tanks
Calling the Poly Processing customer support team can reduce the expenses the tank owner may encounter by extending the life of the tank beyond 15 years. New fittings and gaskets can be installed. Tank samples can be tested to ensure the integrity is still intact. If you're changing the chemical being stored, Poly Processing Field Service can ensure that your tank is compatible and correctly fitted for the new chemical.
Perhaps the tank is designed for a 1-inch outlet, but you need 4 inches? We can help you solve this. Also, the inspection and evaluation of the tank and the site can save you money on contractor costs needed to make the changes.
Have questions about a tank you're considering installing, warranty issues about an existing Poly Processing tank, or concerns about use or retrofitting an older tank? Reach out to our customer support team and get your questions answered.

My vehicle's engine started surging a month ago. At speeds between 40 and 70, when holding a steady speed, the RPM will jump up and down by 100-300 RPMs, making the car seem to surge back and forth at a frequency of one jump every second or two. Anyone seen this, and what can be the cause...a bad fuel pump, fuel controller, or something else? Thanks, glg

To the citizens of the United States of America, in the light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.
Except for Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
- You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium." Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part.Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise." You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh.You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary."
Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed."
There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often.
- There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."
- You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents – Scottish dramas such as "Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon." If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.
- Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters.British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
- You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up halfway through.
- You should stop playing American "football." There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by 2005.You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders," which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
- You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler.Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
- July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day."
- All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
- You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium.Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is a beer which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
- As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.
- The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager."The substances formerly known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Knat's Urine," with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Knat's Urine." This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
- From November 10th the UK will harmonise petrol (or "Gasoline," as you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st, 2005) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon – get used to it).
- You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists show that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults.If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
- Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
- Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).
Thank you for your co-operation.
Don't worry my American friends, I cannot stomach flat, warm beer either. But I have to admit that U.S. English spell check drives me nuts!
Canadians are similar enough to Americans to have earned the label unarmed Americans with healthcare.
All in good fun…no guns, please!

So last Friday, someone from WGBH emails me, asking me for a photo of Gevvie for their digital mural that overlooks the Mass Pike. To their credit a) they did this before the final and b)they let me pick the photo. 30x45 feet is a pretty good size for an image, I think. I am sure Gevvie's been on bigger screens, but my photos definitely haven't.
They stacked photos of the athletes with images from Rio and the rings, so I got this pretty cool shot of Gevvie superimposed over the rings and the water that she won her medal on. I like how the oar wraps around the side of the building, too.
The other woman on the mural? Aly Raisman, another local, five-time Olympic medalist and three-time Olympic Champion. Pretty good company, I'd say.

292 Lloyds Banking Group staff to lose their jobs, Unite reaction
- Wednesday 30 January 2019
Unite, the union representing staff across Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) has today (Wednesday 30 January) challenged the bank's decision to cut 292 jobs across several of its sites across the UK.
The job cuts announced today span a number of the bank's divisions and departments including sites in Fareham, Birmingham, London, Halifax and Chester. These job losses are part of the bank's Group Strategic Review 3.
Unite is calling on Lloyds Banking Group to urgently give staff the reassurances that they need that there will be no compulsory redundancies, that redeployment opportunities will be found for staff and the remaining smaller occupancy sites are at no further risk.
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer, said: "The loss of a further 292 committed and hardworking staff from Lloyds Banking Group is appalling. Unite is seeking urgent clarification about the future of the remaining workforce at the impacted sites.
"Unite has strongly objected to the reductions in sites and job roles announced today, especially against the backdrop of the continual use of agency staff and contractors. Unite is demanding that Lloyds Banking Group ceases the job cuts and closures in order to fully review the number of temporary and contract staff within the company.
"The bank's major restructuring plans have already led to hundreds of bank branches, offices and departments being closed or merged with thousands of staff losing their jobs."
For further information contact Saba Edwards; 07768 693 953.
Notes to editors:
- Unite is Britain and Ireland's largest trade union working across all sectors of the economy. The general secretary is Len McCluskey.

Linoleum and vinyl flooring is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, so it is a common choice in many homes and apartments. While the flooring types can look magnificent when they are new, when they are old they can become faded, cracked, and damaged. The unfortunate part about linoleum and vinyl flooring is that while they may be simple to install, they can be very difficult to remove completely. If you are considering removing your vinyl or linoleum flooring, here's what you should know:
You May Be Able to Lay Flooring over It
If the flooring is smooth or can be smoothed with ease, consider putting your new floor down right on top of it. Some types of hardwood and laminate can be laid right on top of the old flooring with no issues. Even if the flooring is a mess, you may be able to pour self leveling concrete or install plywood over the flooring to smooth the surface so that you can install the new flooring without having to tackle the project that pulling up old flooring often entails. This may add height, however.
It May Contain Asbestos
Asbestos was commonly used in linoleum and flooring adhesives before and during the 1970s. Before digging into the old linoleum, be sure to have it tested for asbestos. If it tests positive, have professionals remove it so that you and your family are not at risk for health issues from the project. If it is asbestos free, you may be able to do it yourself safely.
Linoleum and Vinyl Are Really Two Layers
When removing linoleum or vinyl, it is best to remember that the flooring is really two layers. Removing the two layers separately may speed up the process and reduce frustration. The top layer is generally pretty easy to remove and may be further simplified by cutting it into sections with a utility knife. When it is time to start peeling off the topper, use a heat gun to soften the flooring up as you go.
Removing the Adhesive is the Hard Part
The hardest part of removing linoleum and vinyl is removing the adhesive. Unfortunately, this step is necessary because the adhesive may be hard to smooth without removing and leftover adhesive may have chemicals that will cause a reaction with new flooring. The underlayment and adhesive will usually come up together. When removing adhesive, you may be able to use a wallpaper steamer or boiling water to speed the job up if the subfloor is replaceable or durable. Otherwise, a heat gun and putty knife will do the job slowly but surely.

Lady Gaga To Play Amy Winehouse in Movie? No 5 pop story of 2011
An anonymous "insider" told the tabloid, "Lady Gaga worshipped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen. She'd be spot on performing Amy's songs and has got the right look and bolshy attitude. Gaga's been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career. Gaga's management team had been discussing possible film ventures before Amy's untimely death. But there's only ever been one role she wants and that's to play Amy."
For her part, Lady Gaga spoke about the loss of her idol: "I am just so devastated and so sad. I really could not speak for 48 hours straight; I was in such shock. She was the most lovely and nice and kind woman." more on this story

By Chad Jensen
(247 SPORTS) – The Denver Broncos just wrapped up three weeks of Organized Team Activities. Peppered throughout were 10 voluntary practices, as mandated by the NFL.
Compared to training camp, OTAs might not be as immediately affecting, but they are a piece to the greater puzzle the Broncos are putting together in 2018. With a Draft class of 10 players, plus a crop of undrafted rookies, the Broncos are rolling into this summer with a wealth of youth on the roster.
Combined with the Draft classes of 2016 and 2017, the Broncos are no longer one of the oldest teams in the league, as they were when the likes of Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware were around. This is a young Broncos squad, replete with unknown quantities.
But that's a good thing. And it could be the impetus of a monumental turnaround.
Coming off a 5-11 season, the Broncos are sandwiched between a World Championship and a new era. But in order for Denver to emerge from this awkward period, realize it's goals, and make some new entries in the franchise annals, the youth of the roster has to carry it's weight.
With that in mind, which players stood out over the last three weeks of voluntary OTAs? While it isn't easy to distinguish oneself without pads and without contact, several players found a way to do so.
The Broncos have Phillip Lindsay listed at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, but that must be soaking wet, as he played out his collegiate career closer to 170. Despite coming off back-to-back seasons of 1,000 yards rushing and double-digit touchdowns at Colorado, Lindsay wasn't invited to the Combine.
It was due to his diminutive size. Between getting snubbed for the Combine and going undrafted, Lindsay — as you can imagine — has developed a world-sized chip on his shoulder.
Thus far he's been able to parlay it into some momentum at OTAs. Lindsay has earned some praise from Head Coach Vance Joseph, and is officially in the mix for the punt returner duties, even as a UDFA.
"I think it went pretty well," Lindsay said last Thursday. "I've got a lot of things to brush up on, but I was pleased with what I had done so far. I just have to go back to work now, clean up the little things, get back into the playbook and do things right. You can't ever have a lot of miscues. You've got to go in there and be perfect. So, that's I want to try to do."
As a first-year player, Jake Butt was allowed to participate in Denver's rookie mini-camp last month where he made it known that he's in the best shape of his playing career. Coming off a torn ACL and a rookie season lost, it's encouraging news.
As OTAs plowed ahead, it's clear that Butt is back to feeling like himself because he's making plays left and right.
"He looks healthy, finally," Vance Joseph said last week. "We brought him back last year hoping he was going to be healthy and he wasn't ready to play, so we put him back on the shelf. Right now, he's totally healthy…. He's working hard and he wants to be a great player. We haven't played a game yet, so I don't know what Jake is going to be, but he's very engaged, he's worked hard and he's here every day."
Last week Butt made an eye-popping one-handed catch that earned him some praise around the blogosphere. It shouldn't take him long to establish himself as the No. 1 tight end in training camp, and wrest the job away from the incumbent Jeff Heuerman.
The Broncos considered themselves fortunate to have Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell fall to them early in the fourth round of the Draft. While Jewell failed to blow scouts away with his athletic testing at the Combine, he's already making it clear in his short time with the Broncos that his playing speed and football instincts more than make up for it.
"I'm starting with Jewell," fellow linebacker Brandon Marshall said. "I like Josey. He's a smart, smart kid. He's intense. He's a hard worker, a blue-collar worker. You see him out there going full-speed all the time. He knows what he's doing already. Obviously he's still young, so he still has some learning to do."
Jewell's serious-minded approach to the game should help him to assimilate the playbook quicker than most rookies, and allow him to do what he does best — fly around the field and make tackles.
It's only OTAs, yes, but Paxton Lynch has thus far acquitted himself well. At this stage, he seems to be the more capable QB, compared to Chad Kelly.
But with two full years in the NFL under his belt, that's as it should be for Lynch. We're all still cautious in our expectations of Lynch, but it's nevertheless good to see him doing well at OTAs.
"Paxton's growing every day," Offensive Coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "He's doing a nice job late in the down and being real smart with the football. We have our times out there at practice where the ball doesn't go where it's supposed to. We've got to learn from when we stub our toe. But to Paxton's credit, after six OTAs, he's doing the best of the three in terms of protecting the football and making smart decisions, especially late in the down."
Encouraging, no doubt, but the caveat is that Lynch was earning rave reviews from coaches and teammates alike this time last year. And we saw how that eventually came out in the wash.
For now, I'll maintain a modicum of optimism with regard to Lynch, but he still has a long ways to go in earning the trust and belief of not only the fanbase, but the Broncos as well. When things heat up in training camp, that's where the rubber will meet the road in the Lynch vs. Kelly battle. Can't wait.
Bradley Chubb arrived in Denver with the high expectations of the No. 5 overall pick but they've been cranked up a notch in the wake of Shane Ray's injury. The good news is that Chubb seems to be equal to the opportunity and is already settling into his role on the Broncos defense.
"Bradley Chubb is a hard worker," left tackle Garett Bolles said last week. "I'm very grateful he's on our team. He's a great guy to go against. We have Von Miller, which, he's always a leader and a teacher. It's a bummer about Shane Ray, but he still teaches, he still leads on that sideline. But you have Bradley Chubb who brings in a whole different demeanor to the game. And knowing how fast he is and explosive he is, is going to help me and help him in the long run. I'm grateful to have him as a teammate. I sit right next to him in the locker room. So, watching him work in the weight room and doing everything possible, and knowing the pressure that he has—he's done a great job with all of that and I'm just excited to see his future."
As are we all, Garett. The early returns on Chubb are exactly what you'd hope they'd be.
He's big, powerful and surprisingly 'twitchy' for a 270-pound edge defender. When hard work is combined with rare talent, great things tend to come of it, and no one will benefit more than the Broncos.
Su'a Cravens was acquired via trade to step in and be the type of safety/linebacker hybrid T.J. Ward was in his prime Denver days. The upside with Cravens is that he might actually have the cover skills to be even better than Ward was against tight ends and running backs out of the backfield.
Thus far, the kid has looked good — good enough to garner some praise from his defensive coordinator.
"He's a unique player," Joe Woods said. "You can see he natural instincts when he's in the box. When he's in the box, he fits the run like a linebacker. Right now, you can see that. You can see it's easy for him. We're just really spending a lot of time teaching him how to play off the ball. Playing the deep safety position. But I think he's going to really help us in terms of what we're able to do with our sub-packages. I think there's a few things actually we can do that we couldn't do last year."
The Broncos like deploying their 'Big Nickel' sub-package, with three safeties on the field. With Justin Simmons and Darian Stewart on the field, having Cravens available to drop down into the box and play some linebacker adds a versatile wrinkle to the type of coverages and blitz packages Woods can dial up.
Last year, Brendan Langley made Denver's 53-man roster by virtue of his third-round Draft pedigree. But it wasn't enough to keep him on the field.
Langley (6'0, 199) arrived in Denver extremely raw and inexperienced as a cornerback. But the Broncos loved his size and natural ability enough to pull the trigger. He's got to master the playbook and understand his coverage responsibilities, but heading into his second year, the technique Langley's been taught by his pro coaches seems to be paying off on the practice field.
"[Langley's] definitely getting better," Coach Joseph said. "He is such a talent. His problem won't ever be matching up physically. His problem is getting reps enough to know what to do, and to have great technique every play. Physically, he's what you want. He's tall and long with great ball skills."
Langley is being pushed by 2017 UDFA Marcus Rios, but perhaps even more imminently by 2018 third-rounder Isaac Yiadom. It's good to see that the spirit of competition is having a positive effect on Langley's execution.
In his second year, DeMarcus Walker is back to his natural playing position on the defensive line. Working under D-Line Coach Bill Kollar could pay dividends for Walker in 2018 and he's already earned some high marks from teammates and coaches.
"He's improving," Joe Woods said. "Last year, he was a versatile player for us. We feel like he could play outside linebacker and a defensive line position. With the injuries we moved him to outside linebacker. Right now, we said 'Hey, you're a defensive lineman' So, he's put the weight on. This morning I got on the scale with him or watched him get on the scale, he was up to 278, and he's really making some tremendous improvements."
Getting back to his natural playing weight will pay dividends for a guy poised to earn his living in the NFL trenches. Walker might not yet have the run-stopping chops to be a starter, but he should be able to make an impact as an interior pass rusher in obvious passing situations.
DaeSean Hamilton was Denver's second fourth-round pick in the 2018 Draft. He left the college ranks as Penn State's all-time leading receiver, and was coveted by many NFL teams for his route-running skills.
"DaeSean at the Senior Bowl—he's a guy that has veteran presence as a route runner," Vance Joseph said. "He is a sharp route runner. He gets route running. He is definitely ahead of his time."
Being ahead of the typical learning curve portends well for Hamilton's odds of seeing the field as Denver's slot receiver in 2018. He's already earned some first-team reps with Case Keenum when Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas skipped an OTA practice.
Hamilton has earned some praise from teammates thus far, but there's another wideout who's really found a way to shine early on.
Courtland Sutton has arguably been the star of OTAs thus far. Yes, it's 'only OTAs', but considering Denver's Draft history with wideouts, it's more than encouraging to see a second-rounder step in and immediately make an impact.
"I feel like you can throw Courtland in right now, throw Hamilton in, throw a couple more guys in right now and make plays for us," Demaryius Thomas said. "Me coming in as a rookie, I was injured a little, it was hard learning the playbook and it was difficult because I had go up against [CB] Champ [Bailey] every day. They have to go up against [CB] Chris [Harris Jr.] and the rest of the guys. From what I have seen so far, they listen and learn what the coaches say—what me and Emmanuel are telling them. And they're picking it up quick. It will only get better and better from there."
Sutton is ridiculously talented. Combine his 6-foot-3, 218-pound frame with his ability to go up and get the ball, and the Broncos might have themselves a potent red zone weapon in 2018. Meanwhile, Sutton's primary focus will be on honing his route tree, as Coach Joseph opined.
"With Courtland, he needs some work with it, but he is so physically gifted that once he gets that part, he's going to be hard to defend," Joseph said.
The good news is that both rookie wideouts are capitalizing on the opportunity the offseason program provides to work on the areas of their game that need polishing. With two Pro Bowlers atop the depth chart, and Sutton and Hamilton behind them, Case Keenum is going to have a smorgasbord of targets in 2018.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Posted May 12, 2008 – A university founded by nine former slaves has been accused of at least 668 violations in four sports, according a newspaper.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports that historically Black Alabama State University has been charged by the NCAA with changing athletes' grades without the knowledge of instructors, improperly providing money and lodging for players and allowing at least one party attended by athletes, where a stripper performed, among other infractions.
About 500 of the accusations pertain to football team violations. None of the coaches or athletic department staff at the school during the five-year investigation period remains, a lawyer for Alabama says.
"I don't have any comment about it," says L.C. Cole, an ex-football coach charged with five violations. "I've moved on and whatever comes out of it comes out of it."
Cole now coaches in the Canadian Football League. Alabama will go before an NCAA committee to face the accusations in early August.
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
"When my teacher asks me a question thinking I'm not paying attention, but I get it right."

Setting geometric and geographical data
The section Geometric and geographical data lists the elements that are used for defining geometric properties of geographical objects. Each element corresponds to a geometric shape and a geo object that is used for displaying this shape on the map.
The geometric shape is bound to a locality by setting the coordinates of corresponding points. For a geometric point, its coordinates are set; for a polyline, the coordinates of its points; for a polygon, the coordinates of the points of the closed polylines that make up its exterior and interior edges.
The coordinates of points and polyline points are set using the gml:pos and gml:posList elements. To specify the coordinates that define the viewport or a polygon outline, the gml:lowerCorner and gml:upperCorner elements are used.
To set the coordinates of a point, its longitude and latitude are listed in order and separated by a space. For example:
<gml:pos>55.0298 82.9197</gml:pos>. This is how coordinates are set for points that are described using the gml:pos, gml:lowerCorner, and gml:upperCorner elements. When setting coordinates for a sequence of points using the gml:posList element, pairs of point coordinates are separated by a space in the same way. For example,
<gml:posList>55.0298 82.9197 55.0496 82.9694</gml:posList>.
Geometric point
To define the coordinates of a geometric point, use the gml: pos element.
<ymaps:GeoObject> <gml:name>Point on map</gml:name> <gml:description>Billy was here</gml:description> <gml:Point> <gml:pos>-119.755992 34.406958</gml:pos> </gml:Point></ymaps:GeoObject>
Polyline and closed polyline
To set the points of a polyline, either two or more gml:pos elements or the gml:posList element can be used.
<gml:description>Polyline point coordinates can be set using two or more elements gml:pos</gml:description>
<gml:pos>32.199411 58.601185</gml:pos>
<gml:pos>32.189411 58.595185</gml:pos>
<gml:name>Closed polyline</gml:name>
<gml:description>Polyline point coordinates can also be set using the element gml:posList</gml:description>
<gml:posList>37.178027 55.486953 38.040535 55.486953 38.040535 56.018499 37.178027 56.018499</gml:posList>
The exterior boundary of a polygon consists of a closed polyline, which is described using the gml:LinearRing element.
<gml:description>The exterior boundary of the polygon is a closed polyline</gml:description>
<gml:posList>37.178027 55.486953 38.040535 55.486953 38.040535 56.018499 37.178027 56.018499</gml:posList>
In this example, the gml: LinearRing element is located inside the gml:exterior container. This reflects the fact that a polygon can have not only an exterior edge, but an interior edge as well (a "hole" inside the polygon). In addition, the number of interior holes is unlimited.
The interior boundary of a polygon is also set using a closed polyline. The gml: LinearRing element is placed in the gml: interior container. In the current version of the Yandex.Maps API, the contents of the gml:interior element are not interpreted. A feature for processing interior edges of polygons is planned for one of the upcoming versions of the API.

Bkind Lemon Jefferson Stella guitar: Like many other country blues and old... more
Bkind Lemon Jefferson Stella guitar:
Like many other country blues and old time music enthusiasts, I have spent a good many hours studying rare, often out of focus black & white photos of musicians with their instruments in hand. I am sure most, if not all of us have wondered at the guitar that Blind Lemon Jefferson has in his lap in the one existing photograph of him. Is it a Stella? Is it a Washburn? We may never know the answer. Even if we could discern the maker of that instrument, it may have been just one of several instruments that Jefferson owned and played during his career. Or...the guitar in that photo may not have been Jefferson's own guitar!
Blind Lemon Jefferson's gear is on Equipboard.
Is yours?

Well, only about three weeks from Opening Day. Spring Training is grinding on. Manny Ramirez is feeling the sting of reporting late and said his injury may indicate the Dodgers made "a bad investment." Pudge is still unsigned and is probably facing retirement. One would think that he might be a good investment for someone. Well, here's what we have today for Ivan on Monday.

The 5 Stages of Analytics Maturity: Are You Where You Should Be?
Where are you in the analytics journey?
Shared services analytics have the potential to deliver far more than just 'improved efficiencies' within the SSO or GBS model.
If done correctly, these analytics can be used to identify new market opportunities, enable operational agility, develop leading-edge talent management programs and create innovative customer experiences.
By building advanced analytics and data mining capabilities into their competency, Shared Services can establish themselves as much more than the transactional service provider of yesterday.
Enter the new SSO: a strategic powerhouse within the business
In this interactive PREZI presentation, we list the 5 levels of SSO analytics maturity – from foundational to cognitive. If you are not already familiar with them then this is a great time to change that.
You can click on each level to recognizewhere you fall – but more importantly, where you need to go in order to realize the full potential of advanced analytics for shared services.
For example: 'Predictive' analytics uses many techniques from data mining, statistics, modeling, machine learning and AI. Those at this level of maturity leverage simulation/scenario planning, often through a cross-functional analytics Center of Expertise. Climb the value chain via GBS or a functional specialization.
Additional highlights include:
- Differences between foundational, descriptive, predictive, prescriptive and cognitive analytics maturity levels
- How are advanced analytics concepts like decision automation, analytics COEs, simulation/scenario planning, and machine learning disrupting shared services?
- How can you get to the next level – based on your maturity level?
- How do you stack up against your peers?

When he woke up, he saw himself looking up the sky and thought.
"That was a good dream, I had for so long!" Feeling proud and disdainful, he stood up and saw a crowd surrounding him and his wife moving through the crowd worried.
"Walter Mitty! What are you doing, lying on the floor! Why don't you be an actor!" Mrs. Mitty nagging furiously. She held his hand like she was holding her son's hand and began walking through the crowd, covering her face.
As they were walking towards the parking lot, all of a sudden, there was a commotion across the street.
"My bag! Someone please get my bag!" A middle-aged woman started yelling as a pickpocket ran with her bag. Walter Mitty, let go of his wife's hand and began chasing him. As he was chasing this inscrutable man, the crowd was cheering, their clothes looking haggard, and perspiration drenching the atmosphere. He saw himself as Jesse Owens. Competing against Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson and many others on the incomparable race ever in 1936 Summer Olympics. He felt like a flash running in almost a light speed. He could feel his legs light as a feather, as he gets closer to the finish line, the crowd got louder and louder and the race was over. Many cameras were facing him. Interviewers interviewing him. He saw himself first on the podium. As he was panting fast, he saw himself holding a bag, the pickpocket on the floor, people staring at him and his wife running towards him.
His wife slapped him angrily and started nagging at him, feeling proud inside. "Walter Mitty! You think you are a hero? I was so worried for you!" As Walter Mitty handed the bag to the old women, the crowd applauded. Walter Mitty felt like a hero in his childhood comic book. He stood glorious and proud.
"Walter Mitty! Quit standing there and hurry up!" Mrs. Mitty criticizing. Walter Mitty ran to his wife. The sun was setting as he and his wife walked down the street towards the parking lot.

Policy 9
Promote intellectually honest public discussion of growth management policy, environmental regulation and property rights.
No document promising an intellectually honest public discussion can begin without exposing what can only be described as the elitist attitude and thinking of the politically powerful urban wealthy. In the 1700's and 1800's, the rich and powerful urbanites portrayed Native Americans as simple minded children who needed to be guided and educated by adults. And, since children could not own property, their claims of land ownership were somehow not as legitimate as a EuropeanÆs claim to that same property. In reality, Native Americans had thousands of years of wisdom, knowledge and stewardship experience. The politically correct "truth" of that time simply was an excuse that allowed the dishonest and greedy in power to more easily steal the land. Often when compensation and food was promised, it simply disappeared into the hands of dishonest agents and bureaucrats.
In an eerily similar situation, we now have urban politicians and bureaucrats who dictate the uses of private rural land and speak of "educating" rural property owners. Bureaucrats openly promote regulations that simply take 65 percent of rural parcels. Fees collected for mitigation disappear into bureaucracies to be used to gather more fees. Permission must be asked and fees paid before legitimate use of private property is "allowed.".
Certainly, society faces a long list of environmental concerns; pollution of the deep ocean, over-fishing, loss of estuaries and saltwater mudflats, loss of floodplains, sediment control and water management. However, in an honest discussion we must be clear who has benefited from the destruction of the environment. Our urban neighbors must accept responsibility for the vast majority of environmental damage. Whether we look at impervious surface area, air pollution or discharge of chemicals and effluent the simple truth is that the urban areas have consistently generated the majority of the damage. It is often stated that the urban areas are permanently damaged and cannot be recovered, thus the responsibility of mitigating the damage rests with the rural landowners. That argument fails to recognize that the benefits associated with the environmental damage continue to flow in a steady stream of cash rents and taxes to the urban landowners, governments and public employees.
In an incredibly cynical move, local politicians and governmental agencies are not only refusing to accept their role in the current situation, but have been deliberately shifting the cost of environmental mitigation to a small number of rural property owners. Those property owners are effectively being punished with restrictions and fines for preserving their land, topsoil and habitat. At the same time, urban development and governments continue to be rewarded for so completely destroying the environmental value of their land. The Growth Management Act forces densities on urban parcels to drastically increase, bringing increased revenue to both the owners and their erstwhile governments, while rural properties are stripped of much of their long-term potential. In what is the single largest transfer of wealth in state history, state and local government have taken much of the wealth of rural property owners and replaced it with the burden of mitigating for the environmental damage of their urban neighbors.
Environmental policy and regulation in a fair and rational world must:

The fourth and final customary August trip began on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. Robin dropped me at National Airport and I flew to DFW, then on to Lubbock. Met Jack at 3:00 outside the terminal, hopped in his blue Subaru. A buddy of his, Wes, was in the back seat, and was riding with us part of the way, to pick up his now-fixed car in San Angelo – five days earlier it had broken down. In no time we three were chirping like magpies. Wes works in the same treatment facility, the Ranch at Dove Tree, as Jack. We stopped briefly in Post, Texas (regular readers know that although I understand that it's not necessary to add the state name, I always hew to local custom), to pick up shakes and malts at Holly's, a traditional drive-in with car hops. Total quality – we like Dairy Queen, but Holly's was a step up.
We arrived San Angelo about six, found the car-repair shop, said goodbye to Wes, and headed east 85 miles to Brady, Texas, home of the World Championship Barbeque Goat Cook-off. I've been judging since 1991, 24 consecutive years, and Jack was headed for his 7th competition. The big Texas sky was full of little storm cells, and it was a fascinating array of cloud and light. We arrived Brady, checked into the hotel, and made fast for – where else? – a nearby barbeque called The Spread. No goat that night, but some splendid smoked turkey, jalapeño sausage, and sides. Mandy, one of the owners, remembered us from 2013, and we had a nice chat. I was full, but needed some exercise, so pounded out some miles on a bike at the hotel, then clocked out.
Up at six Saturday morning, back to the gym, then out to the kickoff event, the judges' brunch in Melvin, Texas, population 189, 18 miles west of Brady. It was so great to be back with a bunch of good ole boys (and, this year, five women judges), long friends all the way back 20+ years, people like Jim Stewart of Lubbock, Kinnan Goleman from Austin, and my original Brady host, Kim King. We ate well that morning, listened to the guidance for rookie judges, and headed out. Most of the group headed to Richards Park on the edge of town, site of the event, but I stopped briefly at the West Sweden Cemetery, halfway back to Brady. I first visited a decade earlier. The ground was overgrown, but the headstones told some stories: of a settlement that seemed to have begun in the last decades of the 19th Century; and mainly of the brevity and unpredictability of life back then – lots of infant mortality, and plenty of lives ended after just a few decades.
I arrived at the cook-off just before 11, and ambled around, admiring cooking rigs and encampments of varied design and comfort. Paused to visit with a couple of teams. Lots of the people who attend or participate in the cook-off have a family connection to this little town of 5,500, folks like Frank Brawley from Houston, Texas, grandson of Houston O. Brawley, who long operated a dairy farm just west of Brady. Back at the shady judging site, I yakked with veteran judge Eddie Sandoval, part Comanche, part Hispanic, and a total character; with John Johnson of Lubbock, Texas; with some rookies, including Daniel Vaughn, the barbecue editor of Texas Monthly (now there's a job!); and with Paul McCallum, a fellow judge from the 1990s who had returned after years away. Paul grew up on a station in far western New South Wales, Australia, and is another interesting fellow.
At two it was time to stand and deliver, or in this case to chew. First event was "mystery meat" judging, and this year it was rabbit, one of my favorites. There were some truly wonderful samples, moist, tender. The mystery meat judging, now in its fifth or sixth year, is a bit more permissive, and there was some creativity in sauces and preparation. At three, and already feeling a bit full from 40+ rabbit chunks, we began the main event. I was captain of table two, and we four (including Jack) were a good crew, disciplined, fair-minded, and sober (well, mostly; some of us were enjoying a Coors or two). It's a lot of work, but we got through it in about an hour, with a high degree of unanimity in our 1-to-7 scoring. No sevens, no ones, and a lot of twos and threes. Jack and I agreed that the best of the rabbit was tastier than the best of the goat. But we kept that view to ourselves!
We hung out for a bit longer, but were in the car and pointed northwest by 4:45, happy to keep tradition alive in the Heart of Texas. It is an awesome experience, and I am so glad that it's an indispensible end to summer not just for me, but for our son. When I'm gone, Jack will carry on the Britton judging tradition. And perhaps his son.
The ride back to Lubbock was fast. We paused at Sweetwater, Texas, for a Dairy Queen shake, and were home by 8:45. Took showers, tuned in some football, and were asleep around ten.
We were up at seven Sunday morning, Jack over to the gym, and me out on his Trek mountain bike, north to the huge Texas Tech campus, past the big new stadium, remembering that the Lone Star State is a windy place. Sixteen miles was plenty that morning, back for a shower and over to Jack's favorite coffee place, J&B. Sat outdoors, enjoying a jolt and a good chat. Headed to the car wash, then to an early Asian lunch at Pei Wei. Passed the afternoon lazily, watching golf and yakking, then drove to dinner at Chuy's, a favorite Tex-Mex chain.
Jack had to work Labor Day, so he departed with a hug at 6:25. I waited until first light at seven, then took the Trek back out, feeling stronger than the day before, back toward the Tech campus, north into some neighborhoods. After 14 miles I stopped at Starbucks on University Avenue for a big coffee and a donut, then east on Glenna Goodacre Ave., named for a prominent contemporary sculptor. The area had been redeveloped in the last several years, and on earlier trips I had seen a lot of walk-up apartments for students, but further east were some wonderful two-unit and single family homes in Western farmhouse and craftsman styles, a very agreeable neighborhood.
Back to the house, shower, change, and at ten I met Samantha Kelly, one of Jack's friends, who kindly agreed to drive me to the airport. Sam is a second-year law student at Tech, and we hit it off instantly, chirping at high speed in the car, at J&B for a second day in a row, and on out to the airport. I have long been partial to women lawyers, and those aspiring to be, and Sam was a quality example. I look forward to getting to know her better on future trips.
It was Labor Day, and I thanked the people who served me for working on a holiday. Halfway from Lubbock to Dallas, one of the flight attendants who I thanked when I boarded sat down next to me and offered a handful of cookies and packaged snacks. "You're the only person who thanked us," she said, and we had a nice chat. I told her I worked for American for 22 years, asked about her work and family. It was a nice T-t-S moment. On the flight back to Washington, I thanked all the flight attendants, and one of them replied, "I'm just grateful to have a job." A good attitude, for sure.
By eight that night I was home, on the night before the first day of school. Summer was over, and it was a wonderful season.

Kitchen Plumbing Drain Repair
Plumbing review in Halton Hills
Had a plumbing problem and asked a friend who they would call (as we've used local plumbers before and let's just say I wouldn't call any of them back a second time)
Peter Carney was the first name that was suggested and I was told "he's a good guy"
Called him and he came that evening (and this is after others had said "the plumbing has to be removed and repiped" and another guy spending several hours with his "mickey mouse" tools trying to do the repair)
He was in and out with the job done in no time, priced right and even gave me pointers on how to keep this from happening again.
Great Service - Great Price - Highly Recommended.
