With the use of a double stud wall, open cell spray foam insulation and European style triple pane windows, we were able to reduce our air infiltration rate down 0.61 ACH50 as measured by a blower door test. This was a critical in achieving our NetZero build, allowing the house to store more of the heating and cooling we generate.
Once a home is well insulated air infiltration often becomes the largest component of energy loss. To measure air infiltration a blower door test is performed. The home is sealed up as best as possible, closing all doors and windows and taping any unfinished HVAC, dryer vents, etc. A blower door fan is temporarily sealed into an exterior doorway using a door panel system. The fan blows air out of the house, depressurizing it, with the amount of depressurization measured by a digital pressure gauge. The amount of depressurization is adjusted by adding or removing blockage rings on the fan and/or by increasing or decreasing fan speed. The pressure difference vs the amount of air displaced versus the size of the house can be graphed to calculate an ACH50, the number of whole house air exchanges per hour at a depressurization of 50 pascals. This test is mandatory on new home construction with the required value becoming lower and lower over time. Currently Minnesota regulation requires an ACH50 of 3.0 or less.
Our goal, which we communicated with our builder, and used in our energy calculations, was to have an ACH50 of less than 1.0. We felt this was critical to the execution and goals of the home: heat with a single point source and have a draft-free, comfortable home with good air quality.
Typically in the design of a new build, the architect or builder will determine what component of the wall construction will perform as the "air barrier." In our research on Net-Zero builds, most construction utilized the sheathing and/or the external rigid insulation as the air barrier.
Our initial wall construction design was external rigid foam (to mitigate thermal bridging), OSB sheathing and a 2×6 stud wall filled with 5″ of closed cell insulation. This requires carefully placing/joining of these components and extensive caulking/taping of joints. We were not confident that local contractors had the skill-set to achieve the desired air-tightness by this technique. Further research indicated this may be a problematic design where condensation may occur on the OSB sheathing if the exterior insulation is not at least 36% of the total R-value for the whole wall. In order to make the external foam to internal foam reach 36% we needed 4-inches of external XPS rigid insulation. The builder balked at including that much external insulation as none of his contractors would execute more than 2″ of rigid insulation. Increasing exterior rigid insulation makes it much more challenging to detail windows and doors and attach siding. In addition, since the exterior insulation acts as a vapor barrier the sheathing needs to dry to the inside, making the vapor impermeable closed cell foam a problem. One should never sandwich materials between two vapor impermeable layers.
So, we decided that we would use the insulation (spray foam) as our air barrier instead. Luckily we were able to work with the builder to change the design to obtain a safer wall assembly but still at the same price. The new design for the wall was no external rigid insulation, but instead a staggered 2 x 4 double stud wall (2.25 inch gap) filled completely with open cell spray foam insulation for an R-value of 35. Through its expansion characteristics the open cell spray foam is able to get into all the cracks, nail holes, crevices filling the entire cavity and at 9.25 inches is an effective air-barrier.
In addition through our selection of European style windows and doors we were able to further reduce our air infiltration. Classic double hung windows are notoriously difficult to air seal and any sealing pads or gaskets quickly degrade because of the friction points. European windows open inward and energy efficient models have several locking points around the entire window pulling the tilt-N-turn window against a gasket.
We were very happy with the quality of our Wasco European style windows and the job that our insulation contractor did with the spray foam insulation. However, we were still quite concerned that we would be able to meet our goal of having an ACH50 of less than 1.0. Whenever we looked at other Net-Zero builds there was always such attention to every detail while we were depending on the spray foam to "cover up" typical building practices. We contracted with XRG concepts to do the blower door test and inspect our insulation. They were able to work with our insulation contractor to top up some missed opportunities to add insulation, especially in the basement rim-joists. With nervousness I was there for the first blower door test. This was done prior to drywall in case there were leaks somewhere that could then be attended to.
Drumroll ……………… 0.59 ACH50! Yeah!@ !*&%^ Yeah!
XRG came back after drywall and taping and did the blower door test again and it came back at 0.61 ACH50, within the error of our previous measurement. We were very happy to achieve passive house like blower door measurements. It was finally all coming together.
Houses are not typically under 50 pascals of over or under pressure, so the 0.61 air changes per hour is only utilized as a method to standardize the leakage rate for drafting codes for builders. While somewhat imprecise, one can calculate what the actual native air exchange rate (ACHnat) would be under real world conditions. One takes the ACH50 and divides it by an N-factor which is determined by your location in the US, exposure to winds, and whether its a one or two-story house. For Minnesota (zone 1), normal wind exposure and two stories the N-factor is 12.4. As such our ACHnat is a measly 0.05 air exchanges per hour meaning we get to keep more of the heating and cooling we generate.
Code requires that homes get at least 0.3 air changes per hour (varies slightly depending on expected number of inhabitants). We are way short of that at 0.05 ACH so we included a whole house ventilation system that brings fresh air in at a specified rate. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of sealing the house? Fortunately the ventilation system has a heat recovery mechanism so that the heat of the stale air is passed to the incoming fresh air at greater than 75% efficiency. Awesome!

I feel like I struck gold finding this spot. This is our first time to visit Barbados and we LOVE this property. The highlights have been the space, views, staff, beach & ease of organisation. Julie the concierge lady at Exceptional villas has been a treasure to us. We have not had such attention to detail with our travel plans before. Top tip! book fast track as advised by Julie!
Hi Julie, We're having a wonderful time here in Barbados! Property is amazing and location perfect! We've been hanging out with the other residents of the property too. Both Joan (housekeeper) and Crystal (chef) have been great.
Greetings Julie! I wanted to let you know what an amazing time we had in Barbados and particularly at Smuggler's Cove. What a beautiful and comfortable house. Everything flowed so smoothly from the time we stepped off the plane. And the VIP fee for expedited immigration and customs was beyond worth it. 6 planes all arrived at the same times and lines were horribly long, except for us. We got thru in 10 minutes. Thank you so much for all off your assistance with everything. Was quite the experience. Lastly, I must give the highest praise too the staff at the condo - Lana the concierge, Joan, and Jason our cook (who produced fantastic meals). So again thank you and everyone at Smuggler's Cove #6. We will definitely return. Best regards, Steven Holbrook
Both Denise and I just wanted to thank you and your team for assisting us in planning our trip to Barbados. Service provided was "exceptional". We certainly had a fantastic time. Smugglers Cove #6......was just amazing. Your attention to detail made each and every day extra special. The highlight of our trip was the Seaduced catamaran!
The service you provide is outstanding and we appreciate that everyone went over and above to ensure our trip was memorable. Julie was just amazing, she help us in every way. Thanks again.
Nigel & Denise
Dear Yvonne
We all had a super time. Ms Kay is an excellent cook and Ms Joan was wonderful. We are possibly thinking of doing it all again next year !!
I hope we can get the same deal as this year.
Many Thanks
Thanks so much Julie! We rent vacation homes on a regular basis and this experience working with yourself and Yvonne has been the easiest we've ever experienced. Thank you for your assistance and we are very much looking forward to our vacation in Barbados next year! Steven
Dear Julie,
We had a very relaxing break. The housekeeper, Joan, and the cook, Nikita, were both very helpful.
We will certainly consider visiting again.
Best wishes,
Julie and Niamh - Just wanted to thank you for all of your help with our incredible trip. Your service and your attention to us was unbelievable. We will most definitely refer you to friends and family and also look to book with you again for future holidays.
Julie & Yvonne, I have been meaning to email you since we returned back to reality from our paradise vacation at Smugglers Cove 6. We absolutely LOVED it! The pictures were exactly as is but couldn't even possibly capture all the beauty and loveliness once there. The apartment was decorated exquisitely and we all admired every bit of the place. The children could not have been happier and the adults were overjoyed. It was pure perfection made that much better by our wonderful chef, Stevenson, who cooked us tons of delicious dishes and always catered to our wishes and also by our lovely maid Joan…there is nothing nicer than coming back to a clean home day after day. And even better was coming home with no laundry because she kept washing our clothes! David, the beach butler, could not have been more accommodating and pleasurable to be around. We WILL be back and I hope soon rather than later. To quote my dad, we felt like Donald Trump! I have recommended you to a few friends so hopefully you'll get some future business out of it either through us or them
We had such a wonderful time at Smugglers cove 6. The villa was absolutely beautiful and the views from the terrace were just incredible. We really liked the location as it was right on the beach at Paynes Bay and also close to Daphne's restaurants and not too far from Sandy Lane Hotel!! Nice spot to go for cocktails and they have a spa at Sandy Lane too. The rooms in the villa are really spacious and very luxurious. There was also an air conditioned TV room which was nice facility to have even if we didn't use it that much. The villa was very spacious also which was great we had some friends over one night and Stephen cooked us some lovely finger food to have with our champagne while watching the sun set its was fantastic. Joan our housekeeper and Stephen our Chef were so lovely. Also a hugh thank you to Yvonne at Exceptional Villas who recommended we stay here. We will definitely be back next year.

I truly can't recommend Smugglers Cove #6 highly enough. Where to start! The terrace & the views are literally breathtaking, such a great place to relax over looking the sea. I loved the decor & feeling of space inside & felt it was real indoor/outdoor living, even though its on the 3rd floor! Paynes Bay is just wonderful. I loved strolling down to Sandy Lane beach & just chilling out on the comfy sun loungers..David the beach butler had everything set up each morning.
The staff - Stephenson & Joan are fantastic. We were spoilt & had the most delicious meals.. I would highly recommend this as one of my Ultimate beach rentals..Great for couples, families, those with young kids too.
Useful to know, there's a shared swimming pool in the garden (lovely & quiet - I think most guests spend their time on the beach!) & also a private plunge pool on the terrace..
We were so incredibly lucky to stay at Smugglers 6 the last time we visited Barbados on site inspections. It was such a pleasure to come home each evening after a day looking at villas to the wonderful luxury and incredible views. The location on Paynes Bay beach was unbeatable and we loved Stephenson the chef. The locals were all so friendly and we felt so safe. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Smugglers Cove #6 is a stunning property and one of my personal favourites on the entire island. You wake up in the morning to the wonderful ocean views and the sound of the waves hitting off the shore, a truly relaxing paradise. The staff here are fantastic and Steven our cook prepared wonderful meals throughout our stay and caters to everyone's tastes where nothing is too much trouble. This property is perfect for families and groups who love to be on the beach and close to great amenities. Smugglers Cove is located on Paynes bay which is a gorgeous sandy beach and you can swim directly in front of the property which is fantastic.
Steven, the wonderful chef at Smugglers is possible one of the best chefs in Barbados.. we had a week full of fantastic meals prepared by him. The location of Smugglers is just perfect, right on the beach and you can hear the ocean from the terrace. It's paradise!
Our team know each destination and every villa we feature.
We also offer a personalized and fully complimentary concierge service so every part of your trip will be taken care of ensuring you have a hassle free vacation.

In the public sector, there is an ongoing move to adopt cloud technology, with spending in the sector expected to reach record levels of more than £1bn this year. In fact, statistics suggest more than 80% of public sector organisations are already using at least one cloud service. But with varying degrees of adoption and usage, how can public sector organisations realise the true potential of the cloud?
This was the topic of discussion at our recent Azure Breakfast event in Edinburgh. Hosted in partnership with Microsoft and Dell EMC, the event sought to explore how hybrid cloud can deliver value to the public sector, the benefits of Azure and Azure Stack, as well as key considerations for a successful cloud migration journey.
One key outcome from the breakfast briefing was that cloud adoption is more than a technology upgrade. Successful cloud adoption requires alignment and a shift in mindset across the entire business. So how can organisations make this journey a reality?
When considering cloud adoption or increasing cloud usage, there are three key questions organisations should be asking:
1. Why do you want to move
2. How are you going to do it?
3. When are you going to migrate?
Understanding your cloud journey
To help organisations answer these questions and as a result of our extensive experience in delivering hybrid environments to public sector organisations, Pulsant has developed the Cloud Maturity Matrix.
It's a great tool for guiding conversations about the cloud journey by assessing where organisations are, and clearly identifying where they want to go. It also helps our team gain a deep understanding of an organisation's requirements and drivers and enables us to develop a plan for our customers' cloud adoption.
Adding value with Azure
Another topic discussed at the event was how a combination of Azure and Azure Stack can provide a true hybrid cloud solution for local government and agencies, solving issues around data sovereignty, compliance and security.
For example, some governments in the EU are already deploying Azure Stack together with Azure, to deliver innovative digital services to residents. This enables them to meet strict data compliance, regulatory and policy requirements—all using a common set of tools for developing, deploying, and managing data and applications. As a result, they can now modernise on-premises legacy applications that aren't quite ready for public cloud.
We also discussed some of the common migration triggers, including addressing urgent capacity needs, the need to develop and deliver applications faster, as well as software and hardware refresh requirements.
One pressing migration trigger is the end of support for SQL Server or Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2. These versions are reaching the end of their extended support lifecycle (July 9, 2019 and January 14, 2020 respectively). This means that these workloads will no longer be supported or receive security updates, leaving them vulnerable to cyber security attacks. The upgrade process takes time and planning and, with the date looming closer, it's important to take a look at the various options available. One of the options we are supporting our customers with is migrating these workloads to Azure or Azure Stack. By doing so, customerscan benefit from three years additional security patching and updates for free. More importantly, this gives them the time to work on a plan for modernising these workloads to avoid this problem in the future.

Lake Macquarie Shopping Centre's Soil Turning Ceremony
March 2018
Lake Macquarie Fair / Mount Hutton Shopping Centre is located on the eastern side of Lake Macquarie, only 14km from Newcastle's CBD.
Currently, the two centres are located on adjacent sites with a pedestrian walkway link. In the past they operated as two independent shopping centres. Due to this, the architectural language of the centres vastly differ, and there is no convenient method for the visitor of move between the two.
The architectural concept looks at consolidating the two malls, relocating the existing second major tenant, introducing a new food precinct and specialty tenancies, providing additional undercroft car parking and updating the centre to a modern architectural aesthetic.
Three fundamental design generators were established to define the development of the concept:
Convenience - if the centre is not convenient or a joy to use for its visitors it will not be utilised as best it could be;
Activity - make good space that is active and used - space where people will want to spend time in;
Meeting place – create a place that is not just a shopping mall, but an integrated social hub of the community.
We strive to achieve the above through the following architectural interventions:
The triangulated entry structure takes its form from the bellowing yachts that the area is best known for and named after. The selected finishes resonate with the warm materials and textures of their hulls. This unique geometrical language is carried through into the feature tenancy below, with its triangluated glazing and angular facade.
This unique entry feature promotes an appropriate scale and identity. It screens off the internal courtyard - the central focus of the entrance forecourt, by providing protection and shelter from rain and prevailing winds and offers visitors a nice place to sit on a miserable day.
A similar logic is applied to the adjacent facade edges. These facades utilise sun shading devices, planters, street furrniture and light wells to create warm inviting spaces.
Along these facades, architectural elements such as integrated planters, sun shading screens and seating are used to provide a human scale.
The overall colour scheme relates to the nautical theme of the region. Colours are muted and reserved, with warm highlights and visual interest from the unique triangular screens and sun shading devices.

|9-week-old German Shepherd puppy. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
German Shepherds, on average, will cost about three thousand dollars a year in food, grooming supplies and vet care. This is far less than your car, but still, something to keep in mind. Because of how fast they grow, German Shepherd puppies need their diets to be closely regulated to avoid many potential health problems. They will also need positive reinforcement from day one. Never train a German Shepherd puppy by force. Most dog bites are from dogs that are scared, not dogs that are attacking.
Never buy a German Shepherd puppy from a pet store or from an Internet site that will ship a pup to you without asking you any questions beyond, "Check or charge?" These puppies will be from puppy mills. They will not only be sickly, but they will have missed a major learning period for basic training and will be harder to train and more uncontrollable. The best German Shepherd puppies are from breeders, from animal shelters or from German Shepherd rescues. One of the times German Shepherds are most abandoned is when they are six months old and past the cute stage.
Encourage the German Shepherd puppy to lie down and sleep to lessen the shock of a car ride. Go to the vet within 24 hours of bringing the puppy home, even if the puppy has passed a vet's inspection at a shelter. When you get the German Shepherd puppy home, take it where you want it to relieve itself. Praise the puppy highly when they go in the right place. Keep using that place for toilet training and use verbal commands.
Small puppies have small bladders. They will need to go outside to try and toilet every two hours until they are about six months old when they can start holding their bladders for seven hours. When a German Shepherd puppy has an accident, it is not trying to be bad. They often can't hold it. German Shepherd puppies usually walk in circles sniffing when they need to go. However, once they learn, it's learned.
This might sound like a lot, and it is, but it can be done if you are committed to raising a German Shepherd puppy. You will find training easier by giving your puppy a German Shepherd name that easily attracts the puppy's attention. Don't have it sound too similar to commands they hear all the time like "Stay" or "Heel". German Shepherd puppies are smart enough to respond to name changes. Don't use their registered name - it's too long and won't grab their attention.

apparently, today, all the stores were getting bought out of all the food....grocery shelves are empty, people are stocking up on anything and everything, like the end of the world has arrived.
all the schools have been closed for 4 weeks, public buildings are being shut down, people are canceling any event possible, etc. etc.
and we don't have any confirmed cases in our state......
through all of human history, one thing has always been true....follow the money........I think someone has created a Fire Sale!

Question: Why does world opinion (UN, EU, Russia, media, etc.) generally go against Israel, and why is it often so viciously backed by false accusations? Is this of any significance for today, or is it merely what God foreordained?
Response: God did not foreordain anti-Semitism and the hatred of Israel rampant in the world—and He will severely punish those persons and nations guilty of it. He foretold this hatred, but He does not cause it. As John MacArthur says above and as Jesus declared, evil comes from the human heart: "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: these are the things which defile a man..." (Mt 15:19,20).
Of course, Satan does all he can to stir up anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel. As we explain in Judgment Day, Satan's only hope to escape his final doom is to destroy Israel. He has made the destruction of Israel and the extermination of all Jews one of the foundations of Islam; he has persuaded Europe and most of the rest of the world to believe the lies of the Arabs who claim to be descended from the original "Palestinians" (a people who never existed); and he is persuading not just the D. James Kennedys, Hank Hanegraaffs, and R.C. Sprouls but increasing numbers of Christians that the church has replaced Israel.
Why would Satan be immune from God's judgment if Israel were destroyed? The answer is simple. God has made hundreds of promises to preserve the Jews and to bring them back into their own land, where He will never allow Israel as a nation to be destroyed (Jer:31:31-40; Ezk 36:22-38, etc.). It is to Israel restored in the last days that Christ will return to rescue His people at Armageddon and to reign over them and the world from the throne of David in Jerusalem.
Without Israel, there could be no Second Coming. God would have been proved a liar by His failure to fulfill His hundreds of promises to Israel and would have lost the moral ground for judging and punishing Satan and removing him and his man, Antichrist, from the earth. Satan would be firmly in control of the world and its inhabitants for eternity. The Rapture would have occurred, and the church would be safe in heaven.
With no people of Israel for Christ to return to and rule over, with no throne of David in Jerusalem upon which He could reign, the world would be under Satan's control for eternity. No new heavens and new earth would be possible.

Likely Suspect #7: Tom Jones
She's a Lady was obviously yet another song written about my first mother. Remember Helen of Troy and that face that launched a thousand ships crap? Well my mom was such a hottie she launched hundreds of songs.
I think I was about 6 or 7 when She's a Lady was a big hit. My mom and aunts all loved Tommy Boy. I figured he had to be my real dad because of the curly hair bit. And I liked She's a Lady. It's a catchy tune. But then I started to listen to the lyrics. And I decided that even though Tom was my real dad, he was a total douche.
I figured he wrote She's a Lady and was so busy with his mountain that she helped him build out of a little pile of clay he didn't even notice she had hit the road. What an ass this guy was. So self absorbed. Even little grade school me could see that. So she took off and put me up for adoption in fear of being stuck with an egomaniac like that creep she hooked up with. Shit, I would have gotten rid of me too. What the hell is with this guy anyway?

Stamp with Us Recipe
I must admit I often find recipe challenges a little bit tricky (& I think some other people do too) that is why the Stamp With Us team are dropping them from their challenges, so this is their last recipe challenge which is to use 2 patterned papers, 3 brads & 1 stamp. The papers are from Designer Digitals, the gorgeous stamp is from Lil of the Valley & is called "Fairies - Bouquet" & is coloured in with Prismas & I sprayed her with Crafter's Companion silver spray & glitter which gives her a gorgeous twinkle (but I don't think you can see this very well in the photo). I punched some flowers out of white paper, inked & glittered them & added some brads to the centres.
This card fits 2 other challenges too:

My prediction is that by the end of this week a second referendum will have been scheduled. I realise this will be disruptive and not to the satisfaction of half of the country but what else is there to do now? The end of May is nigh. She's battled on, but it has now become a complete joke. Cross-party talks have been going on for SEVEN WEEKS NOW and they don't appear to have got anywhere. SEVEN WEEKS! WTF have they been talking about all that time? Surely it would have been easier to agree at the beginning that there was no way they were going to find a solution between them and now both sides are terrified of pulling out of the talks for fear that it looks bad. Well, frankly it looks bad anyway and we have had enough.
We just need to get a proper shift going to get everything moving again and to break the gridlock. I can see no other logical way, but the decision to get another vote from the public, now that talks have ground to a standstill. The EU elections are also the end of May and it looks like the Lib Dems are going to do exceedingly well. I do wish Change UK would join forces with them for the initial period as they now appear to be distilling the water, despite the fact that I think it's a very good idea to offer a new fresh party.
Could this be going any more disastrously for May, I don't think she's going to last much longer than the end of May.

Calling all big rigs! Choptank Transport is gearing up for its annual celebration to honor America's truck drivers during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
This year Choptank Transport will be adding a Lookin' Good contest to its annual celebration. In addition to handing out goodie bags to truckers passing through, the best looking 18-wheeler will win a $250 American Express gift certificate.
Where and When?
Choptank Transport will be setting up its celebratory tent on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at the I-95 Sunoco station in the Rest Area/Travel Plaza in Newark, Delaware from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. This is one of the busiest rest area/truck stops between Maine and Florida and is a popular spot for truckers to fuel up, grab a hot meal and take a nap if needed.
"It's always fun when we are giving out gift bags and we run into a driver who is hauling a load for Choptank," says Carter Towers, Corporate Recruiter at Choptank Transport. "They are always so appreciative and it's great to meet carriers face-to-face."
Truck drivers work long hours away from their families, driving through all kinds of weather to get our goods to market so we can have the luxury of shopping at our local supermarket or nearby mall. It is important to remember our whole supply chain is nonexistent without the invaluable services of these men and women.
This year's sponsors include Pepsico, Carolina Foods, Transcore, Avalon Risk and International Freightliners.
For more information on Choptank's Truck Driver Appreciation Day Celebration, contact email@example.com.

Christ's birthday! soft come floating down
The manger songs from bygone years;
Till earth's white robe new glory wears,
And brightly in her shining crown
Each lonely star a guide appears.
A guide where many an infant lies,
Born into poverty like Him;
Where plenty's face has never smiled,
Beneath the light of fading eyes,
Where life's pale lamp is flickering, dim.
The manger songs! Oh, sweet the lays
Each mother's loving lips have sung,
'Neath cottage roof and palace dome!
Like warbling birds in spring's first days
Back to the agèd heart they come.
And softly on the listening ear
Do angel voices carol still,
Peace on the earth, good will to men
As on the wild Judean hills;
And waiting spirits breathe,
Our birthday! if we wake to life,
The life that ever moveth on,
That knows no change of time or death,
But, like a calm stream 'mid earth's strife,
Mirrors the Heaven it looks upon.

Making Forests Healthier and Fire-Safe in the San Juans
Workshops in the San Juan Islands
Increasingly, forest owners in San Juan County are seeking guidance on how to manage their overstocked stands for improved forest health. They are also looking for creative ways to use the excess woody material that is a byproduct of restoration efforts. For the past six years, NNRG and our partners have worked in many island forests, conducting one-on-one site visits, developing management plans, and hosting tours and classes. We are working with landowners to address the unique challenges of managing island forests for both ecological health and economic viability.
NNRG and partners are building on work we've been doing in the San Juan Islands for the past eight years. Through a series of workshops, educational materials, and site visits, NNRG and partners are helping landowners understand the risks their forests face and how thinning and other activities can help them achieve multiple objectives for their forests.
In April and June 2019 NNRG and partners hosted workshops on Waldron Island and Shaw Island, respectively. The workshop topics included: funding programs to offset forest restoration costs, community-scale forest management, commercial timber sales and logging contracts, strategies for improving wildlife habitat, and converting forest slash to biochar.
The next workshop in this series is Improving Forest Health and Fire Resistance in a Changing Climate: DIY strategies for forest owners in the San Juans. It will take place on San Juan Island. The workshop was originally postponed due to the pandemic, and we are continuing to keep an eye on health directives to ensure the workshop is safe.

Past Projects
In 2018, NNRG hosted a series of workshops for forest landowners interested in reducing the risks of wildfire and disease to their woods while using the excess woody biomass in creative and productive ways. A detailed summary of NNRG and our partners work in 2018 for the San Juans is described in Wrapping Up a Year-long Project on Biomass & Biofuels.

TOWNS and villages across Essex have been commended for having the most flower power in the Anglia region.
Evergreen volunteers from Halstead ensured the town struck gold again and there were also top slots for Frinton and Gosfield.
The annual Anglia in Bloom awards see judges assessing parks, cemeteries and gardens across the region.
This year's prestigious awards ceremony was held yesterday with Bloom teams attending from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
In the village category Gosfield won a gold award and Weeley won a silver gilt award.
Frinton scooped the top prize for the small town category and Coggeshall won silver.
Frinton also won gold in the small parks category.
Halstead came out on top for the overall winner in the town category and Halstead Public Gardens also scooped the gold award in the parks category.
A third award was given for the cemeteries category with Halstead receiving a silver gilt.
A gold award was also given to the Halstead team in the care home category, for Priory Hall.
Victory is not uncommon for the Halstead team which has claimed gold for 11 consecutive years.
Margaret Eskins, who chairs the team, said it was another brilliant result.
She said: "We are delighted. We got various awards but the best one was the town category where we got gold again for the eleventh year running.
"We had 30 volunteers who came on the coach to the awards with us, but we also have people who fundraise and litter pickers who clear up their roads.
"We are so fortunate to have such a community-spirited town."
The Colchester team did not enter this year's awards due to a lack of volunteers.
Pam Schomberg, who chairs the group, said it was a great shame as they had won many awards in the past.
She said: "I have just come across 11 certificates and five trophies so we used to do very well.
"It is an awful lot of work, it's just not possible without a lot of support."
Colchester in Bloom will host its internal awards ceremony on October 10. Pam said there are many gardens across the town worthy of winning.
Brian Thornton, president of Anglia in Bloom, said: "Each year we see more gold awards presented. The key to a successful campaign is communities working together, improving and making their neighbourhoods a better place to live, work and visit.
"We don't know what 2020 has in store for us but what we do know is a successful organisation is one that doesn't let the grass grow under its feet.
"We pride ourselves in the fact we are progressive and listen to all who participate in our campaign."

The Ospreys will hit the road and take Anglo Welsh Cup games around the region this season.
It has been confirmed that they will return to St Helen's for the first time since they settled in at the Liberty Stadium 11 years ago.
Steve Tandy's men will play host to Aviva Premiership side Harlequins at the iconic Swansea venue in the opening round of matches on November 11.
The last regional game there saw the Ospreys beat Ulster in the Celtic Cup, a game in which current head coach Tandy, Managing Director Andrew Millward and prop Paul James all played.
"Going back to St Helen's for the first time since our first title winning season will be a special occasion," said Millward.
"It's been a long time since we last played there but, no doubt, with Swansea back in the Premiership once again, our supporters will be looking forward to enjoying the unique atmosphere of a special venue that has so much history.
After a derby with Cardiff Blues in the Welsh capital, Ospreys will then return to the Brewery Field as the Bridgend venue hosts its eighth competitive fixture in five years.
Bristol will be the opponents for the Anglo Welsh Cup third round match on January 28.
"The Brewery Field is a stadium we've become far more familiar with in recent seasons, enjoying some great matches there in the Anglo Welsh, and this season should be no different.
"With Bridgend just three stops away from Bristol on the train and the ground so accessible from all corners of the region, a 3pm Saturday afternoon promises to be quite an occasion for everybody."
Millward added: "We are also putting the finishing touches to our British & Irish Cup plans that will see us spreading the Ospreys word even deeper into the community with even more, familiar old grounds, set to get another taste of regional rugby."

By Mono Edon
Ifiekporo community shares landmass with Ijala, Itsekiri's ancestral heartbeat location of Warri Royal Cemetery, and where Itsekiri's first king, Ginuwa, settled around 1480 before crossing over to Ode-Itsekiri which is not far from Ifie. Both of them are located in Warri South Local Government Area. Before 2007, Ifiekporo was accessible off the Refinery Jetty road. It was referred to as "that community behind Warri Refinery" or a reference for pottery and fishing, the two predominant trades of Ifiekporo indigenes before 2007.
The decision by the Chief James Ibori administration to allow the N27 billion Trans Ode-Itsekiri Bridge and Access Roads Projects take off from Ifiekporo changed the fortune of this relatively unknown community forever. Interestingly, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan was coordinator in his capacity as the Secretary to the State Government.
May 29, 2007 will forever be treasured by the Itsekiris. It was the day Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Chief Ibori's erstwhile coordinator of the state's economy was sworn into office as his successor. Finally, a kinsman from Itsekiri, Delta's largest contributor to the state's coffers would be addressed as the Executive Governor of Delta State. True Deltans hailed his emergence as governor because Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan was a well-grounded professional and stakeholder of the "Project Delta" from the inception of Nigeria's democracy in 1999.
Delta being a multi-ethnic state, it goes without saying that whoever wishes to lead as governor, must be detribalised, all-embracing, visionary, have peaceful disposition in quelling ethnic tensions and an uncanny sense of equity in carrying along all the tribes. Dr. Uduaghan had all the above qualities. He made sure that his government was taken to all Deltans, even to the remotest of places. People felt his government without him being directly involved in influencing or hijacking projects to his kinsmen. Every tribe benefited from his government through his three-point agenda viz; Human Capital Development, Infrastructural Development, Peace and Security.
Although the N27 billion Trans Ode-Itsekiri Bridge and Access Roads project was awarded to Setraco Nigeria Ltd in August 2006 during the Ibori administration, serious work began in 2007 when Dr. Uduaghan mounted the saddle of leadership of the state. Funds were committed to the project simultaneously with other mega projects embarked upon in other areas of the state by his administration. Suffice it to say that he spent his first tenure completing the projects left behind by his predecessor. As government is a continuum, he completed them while conceiving new ones which suffered as a result of the countless politically motivated litigation from every corner of the state.
Some of his traducers are wont to mock him that he could not turn his hometown to London like his predecessor did at Oghara but these are the same people who would have called for his head if he had played the ethnic card which has continually plunged this state into ethnic strife and divisiveness.
For lovers of truth, Ifiekporo, an Itsekiri town is one of the numerous unknown towns that blossomed under Dr. Uduaghan's administration based on the evidences of equitable dividends of his people-policy style of governance.
The Trans Ode-Itsekiri Bridge and Access Roads project designed to link Warri mainland starting from Ubeji to riverine communities of Ifie-Gbodede-Usele-Inorin-Ajigba-Orugbo-Ode Itsekiri may not have been completed but already the gains of work done have seen nine of the total 26 sub-bridges completed and put to use In Ifiekporo. These nine bridges connect Ifiekporo to Ubeji and Ijala. Unfortunately, prior to the commencement of this project, the old Warri Refinery bridge linking Ifie to the Warri Refinery Jetty road had collapsed and cut off Ifiekporo from Warri mainland. This old bridge was not meant for heavy vehicles. It was the Warri Refinery's private property.
Those who thought the Itsekiri-born immediate past governor did not show enough commitment to the mega Trans Ode-Itsekiri Bridge and Access Roads project may have forgotten that he personally ensured that Setraco was swiftly mobilized so that the Ifie end of the project would be reconnected to Warri mainland through Ubeji.
Interestingly, the remote Ifiekporo became open to the world. A long access road was constructed running from Ubeji through the bridges to the NPA river. A community which was famed only for the Warri Royal Cemetery was now open to massive economic activities. Heavy machinery, vehicles can now access Ifie. Soon, Matrix Energy Oil & Gas, Pinnacle Oil & Gas, AYM Shafa, Lanaka, A&E Petrol made Ifie their destination. Thousands migrated from Warri main town (including indigenes who had never been home) to this new town. The relatively quiet community bustled with economic activities in such indescribable rapidity much to the amazement of indigenes who have suddenly been overwhelmed by foreigners.
The change of fortunes of Ifiekporo under Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan was surreal. Ifiekporo has suddenly become the darling of the Warri South Local Government Council because of the plethora of companies Ifiekporo is hosting. The community fits the ideals of its drive for internally generated revenue.
In this 2018, two of the above companies are already building gas plants and new companies are arriving because of the strategic location of Ifiekporo. It has become somewhat of a port. Heavy ships can berth at Ifiekporo, adjacent the Warri Refinery Jetty.
The short-term gains of the project, notwithstanding, which has resulted in the industrialization of Ifiekporo, this mega project is yet to be completed because the main bridge that would link Ifie to another riverine community, Ugbodede, and the other communities has not taken off. A cable bridge was proposed at conception but that is looking unlikely because of the stiff resistance by the Nigerian Ports Authority that any bridge below 100 fit would impede sail of cargo vessels on the international waters. The implication of such warning meant that the bridge would have to peak from Ubeji or the other alternative would be an bascule bridge which the Dr. Uduaghan administration could not address before the end of his administration. Although the Okowa-led government has said about N7.6 billion would be required to complete the project, we are yet to see the contractor back on site.
As we look forward to the completion of the project, the massive role Dr. Uduaghan played in setting this project on course will never be forgotten by the Ifiekporo people. Because of his commitment, the community is on the economic map of Nigeria.
May God bless Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan for opening up Ifiekporo town and may God grant his heart's desires as he vies to represent the good people of Delta South Senatorial District at the Senate.

After hiking many National Parks and doing off the beaten path trips (some bordering on simply worrisome), the most important tip I can give is to trust the park rangers. But in addition, below that are a few more thoughts.
- Part 1 – Intro / Get Ready
- Part 2 – Helpful Information
- Part 3 – Map of Route
- Part 4 – Final Notes
Park Rangers
These guys live to help. Don't think police officer, think EMT or firefighter. Sure they enforce the rules but by and far they want what you want: To be safe & have an amazing time!
I find the rangers at Hawai'i Volcanoes NP to be great help. They hike to the lava nearly daily and will have the best possible information. Ask them questions. I talked with the guys at the back-country office and they were the most helpful. (But you'll have to wait for them.) The may advise against your trip due to conditions, but unless conditions are likely to kill you they will not stop your trek. So talk to them.
Backup Plan
Please be wise. Search & Rescue won't look for you if they don't know you're there. Anytime you hike be smart and take the time to leave your plans with someone in civilization. I do the following. Provide them with a printed map with approximate travel plans. Then leave two estimated times of return:
- 1st is expected time out. (When I plan to be home / in cellphone coverage)
- 2nd is something is VERY wrong. (If they haven't heard from me call for help.)
These time help me keep moving as well. I usually build in a significant buffer (5 hours) between them. Haven't had to use them, but glad I had them. (Liking solo hiking and coming upon a mountain lion.)
Best Times
Hike:In my opinion the best time for the hike is leaving the parking lot in the early afternoon (3pm at the latest). The sun is past its highest point and daylight makes the walk easy. This will put you at the flow between 5-6pm, near sunset where the colors are really vivid. If you are leaving from the visitor center the drive to the parking is deceptively slow. It will take nearly an hour to get there.
Photo: Again, my opinion the best time for photos is sunset and sunrise. (Heavy cloud cover would work too, but that is rare.) This will result in bright shots of the lava but also some landscape. After dark the lava will really pop and stand in stark contrast to the blackness around it.
Take Your Time
You are in Hawaii after all. Enjoy your time on the lava. Why be in a hurry? Stop, listen, watch and enjoy. You are the first human to see the lava you are watching in the history of the world.
But more seriously, as we have learned, take your time on the hike there and back. We came out bleeding from numerous spots where we had fallen because we were in a hurry. I popped my ankle three times and the last mile I was hobbling in pain just hoping to make it back. This could have easily been avoided if we didn't try to rush back.
Have Fun
Within reason have fun! It's lava!! Throw rocks onto the flow. Have rock flow races! Cook S'mores or hotdogs over the lava. Throw water on it. Leave it up to your imagination to have some fun. I have heard of people bringing long metal poles to make lava sculptures on the end. Just be smart with what you do.
Odd Fact – Hiking On Top of Flowing Lava – If the plan goes south and you happen to be surrounded by flowing lava worry but don't panic. Only in EXTREME dire circumstances, when nothing else is possible, you can quickly walk across the lava. If you can find a spot that has cooled for a few minutes it is best. You'll have about 100′ before your shoes melt fully off.

Unlike broadcasting an email message to a group of people, Outlook Mail Merge makes each recipient the sole recipient of the message. The mail merge feature plays a key role in sending a message to many people that you want to be personalized for every individual.
You need 3 files or documents to create email messages using the Outlook Mail Merger process –
- Main Document: Your main document or file is your email message. This basically comprises texts and graphics that are identical for each single version of the merged file.
- Mailing List: What does the mailing list contain? The data. It is the data that is used to inhabit (populate) information on the letter. For example, the list preserves your names, and your main file/ document is the email message that addresses to the names in your mailing list.
- Merged Document: It is the combination of the mailing list and the main document. The Mail Merge process obtains information from the mailing list and enters it in the main document; thus, resulting in a personalized, merged document for every individual on the mailing list.
6 Steps To Use Outlook Mail Merge Process
Step – 1: Prepare Your Main Document
If you wish to let people know about a particular event or program (include name, address, date and time, etc.), write the main content or body of the email message in Word.
- Now, go to the 'Mailings' tab, look for the option that says 'Start Mail Merge', select 'Start Mail Merge > E-mail Messages'
Step – 2: Setup Mailing List
Make sure you have Outlook installed in your system to send emails. For people using Outlook MAPI must confirm that the versions of Outlook and Word are the same.
On the other hand, your mailing list is your data source that preserves Outlook contacts, office address list, and an access database. Word would use those records and information to build email messages.
Step – 3: Associate Mailing List with Your Email Message
Choose the mail recipients from your data source (address list). The data source should have a column containing email IDs of people that you want to send the email to (each person must have an email address).
- Mailings > Start Mail Merge > Select Recipients and then select an option
- Now, you must do one of the following –
- Select 'Type a New List' and create one if you don't have a mailing list
- Or, select 'Use an Existing List' if the mailing list is in an Access database or an Excel spreadsheet. Browse the list and click 'Open'
- Or, select 'Choose from Outlook Contacts' if you are using Outlook contacts
- Select File > Save as
- Type a file name in the 'File name' box and choose 'Save'
How to Edit Your Mailing List
When you wish to send emails to a particular group of people on your email list, narrow down the list by following the steps under 'Edit' section –
- Select 'Edit Recipient List'
- Sort or filter the list to check the names of the recipients of the email message
Step – 4: Add Personalized Content to Email Message
You can personalize each message (email) by entering people's name and email address. Simply insert merge fields in the main document and complete the process. Here's how to do -
- Go to the 'Mailings' tab, choose 'Address Block' in the 'Write & Insert Fields'
- In the 'Insert Address Block', you need to choose a format for all the recipient's name (as the name will be displayed in the email)
- Insert the merger field by clicking 'OK'
- You need to choose 'Greeting Line' (in the 'Writing & Insert' group)
- Select the format that you wish to use (in the 'Insert Greeting Line' dialog box)
- Now, select 'OK' to insert the merge field
- Navigate File > Save to preserve your email message
Verifying Merge Field Names
- On Word, go to the 'Mailings' tab and choose the 'Match Fields' dialog box in the 'Write & Insert Fields'
- Now, you need to verify the details – match the names of column headings for records in the mailing list data source
- Do not do anything if the names match column headings in the mailing list data source (If it does not match, you need to select the drop-down arrow and choose the field name in the mailing list data source)
- Click 'OK'
You Need to 'Format Mail Merge Fields'
Choose the merge field name and make necessary changes to the font size and spacing of the merged content.
- Go to the 'Preview Results' group on the 'Mailings' tab and select 'Preview Results' to move to the mail merge fields from the merged results in your letter.
- Here, you have to select the merge field name
- Select the font and its size as per your desire (on the 'Home' tab)
- Choose the paragraph spacing on the 'Page Layout'
Step – 5: Preview & Finish
Want to preview the merge results? You will be able to do it only after adding merge fields to the main document. Complete the merge process only after you are happy with the preview.
- Select 'Preview Results'
- Choose 'Next' or 'Previous' record button to ensure the addresses and names are correct
- You need to select 'Finish & merge > Send E-mail Messages'
- Select the name of the email address column from the list (in the 'To' box)
- In the 'Subject line' box, the email sender must type a 'subject line' for the message
- Choose 'Plain Text or HTML (default setting)' in the 'Mail format' to send the document as the body of the email message
- Under the 'Send records' section, you need to perform one of the following activities:
- Select 'Current record'
- Or, you can accept the default setting to merge and send 'All' records
- Or, enter the 'record number' in the 'From' box and start the merge. And you need to enter the 'record number' in the 'To' box
- Click 'OK' to run email merge
Step – 6: Save Personalized Message
In most occasions, users prefer to save the personalized message as they consider use it for another mail merge. If you chose to save the message, you saved its connection to the data source.
So, when you open the main document, you will be prompted by 'Word' whether to keep the connection to the data source or not. The document will open displaying information merged with the first record if you select 'Yes'.
If 'No', the connection will be broken and the main document for the email will just be a standard Word document.

The technology plays a part in chemotherapy treatment and real-time drug monitoring among other medical applications
Atrato & Metraflow ultrasonic flowmeters
Titan Enterprises' proprietary Atrato ultrasonic flowmeter technology is increasingly used for medical applications, including real-time drug monitoring, metering of coolants for chemotherapy treatment and blood flow systems.
Ultrasound flow measurement has over recent years shown great promise in medical applications, initially with Doppler shift technology, and more recently with time of flight systems such as the Atrato.
Atrato is an inline non-invasive flowmeter technology, without the contorted flow path and disadvantages of alternative ultrasonic flowmeter designs. It can handle flows from laminar to turbulent and is therefore largely immune from viscosity effects. Based upon a patented time-of-flight ultrasonic technology - Atrato is able to operate over very wide flow ranges (200:1) delivering excellent accuracy (better than ±1.0% of reading), linearity and repeatability - critical parameters for medical applications.
Medical flow sensor developed by Titan Enterprises
Also based on Atrato technology – Titan Enterprises Metraflow ultrasonic flowmeter offers the additional advantage of a clean bore with no inclusions or distortions and has proved more than adequate at responding to the dynamics of several medical blood flow systems.

Hi everyone, Matthew from ClanGeek hear. November is well underway, the first frost has arrived that the floor is covered in fallen leaves and it's time for the ClanGeek monthly update!
Since October's update its been a crazy time for me between my day job and my blog and everything else. I've not had as much time for gaming as I'd like and I'm now in Stockholm for 5 days so November is shaping up to be just as busy!
I have been working on my new blogging schedule for a month now with 4 posts daily and so far it's been a lot of fun and really helpful for getting me more in the habit of planning my posts in advance.
My favourite post of last month had defiantly been "I'm Ace Thanks" done in collaboration with the amazing Livid Lightning it was such a fun experience and the kind comments and support I've seen has been amazing. So thank you to everyone for that!
I've just reached my 1000 like this weekend on WordPress which is just amazing. Coupled with my now 339 twitter followers, 150 Instagram followers and 180+ WordPress followers I'm constantly blown away by the amount of people who seem interested in what I post. I really try to avoid dwelling on statistics, I never expected to have a reach of 10 followers let alone 100+. So suffice it to say I am constantly grateful for each follow I get and for all the amazing people I have encountered on social media since I started blogging March last year. Thank you!
For November I have a real mix of stuff underway. There are going to be more game reviews, more DnD posts and most interestingly the release of my own story published a chapter at a time! The first Chapter is coming by the end of this month.
Recently I've been playing a real mix of games too, I've revisited Civilisation 5 and have Life is Strange 2 and Red Dead 2 still in my to play list. It's taken me longer to get round to them then I wanted but I really can't wait to dive in now!
So with Christmas on its way and the cold winter weather well and truly hear what are you playing on these dark nights?
Let us know what your playing in the comments below.
– Matthew ClanGeek
Thanks for reading to the end!
If you enjoyed this post feel free to visit the Clan again, I post every Monday, Wednesday Friday and Sunday!

Testamentary Freedom – A Fundamental Right?
by: Gillian Fournie, June 17, 2019
Whether testamentary autonomy is a constitutionally protected right has not been considered by the courts … until now. The rules of testamentary succession (i.e. wills and estates) are governed by provincial law. While each province and territory has its own set of statutes, most have imposed some requirements that the deceased make "adequate provision" for…read more

McALESTER, Okla. (KOTV) — Sheriff's deputies arrested an 18-year-old woman after they say she threatened to "shoot up" McAlester High School in Oklahoma.
According to our CBS affiliate News On 6, the Pittsburgh County Sheriff's deputies arrested Alexis Wilson, 18, on an initial complaint of making a terrorist threat.
An anonymous tip led to investigators finding videos Wilson posted of her shooting guns, and she told friends and co-workers she was going to "shoot up" the high school, Sheriff Chris Morris said.
Deputies seized an AK-47 with six magazines and a 12-gauge shotgun with stock sleeve for extra shells, a report stated.

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but this week has kind of zipped by. Between teaching spin classes (4 this week – normally it's 3) and working the 9 to 5 I am ready for a little bit of free time…to let my hair down and be easy!
And do a little 'it's the weekend' dance….because well, why not.
Beyonce gifs just don't get old.
Let's get to my faves this week!
-Breaking up the workday with a lunchtime run through the park. Even though it was a little too hot to be out running I kind of enjoyed the change up. It put a whole new energy into the 2nd half of my day.
-This song. I've been grooving to it all week long. Great for spin class too.
-Speaking of spin class…Jen sent me a pic of this top she found in Canada. Must.have.it. It's too perfect.
-Getting my nails done. I've never strayed too far away from classic french. It's just a clean and easy look for work and play.
-This scent my friend Natalie got me for my birthday. Great for summertime nights.
-Sunsets right outside my window. Beauty.
What are some of your favorites this week?
