During the Christmas period and January 2018 we will share a number of videos of Dr Jan de Laat, a medical physicist and audiologist in The Netherlands. Dr Jan de Laat was one of the speakers at the Clinical Conference in the Netherlands in October 2017.
In this video series, Dr de Laat will share his experience on hearing impairment and will give you advise on how you, as a professional, can deal with customers with these conditions. The videos will be interesting for both audiologists and optometrists, as he starts every video by clearly explaining what the different conditions actually are and continues with some very handy tips and tricks for hearing aid dispensers.
Some of the topics Dr Jan de Laat talks about are tinnitus, hyperacusis and SSD. Especially for our members from The Netherlands, Dr de Laat has added two Dutch videos on developments within the Dutch market regarding 'Hoorprotocol 2.0' and 'StAR guidelines'.
Keep an eye on the website, as we will share the videos one by one over the coming weeks. To view the videos you need to be logged in as a member. If you have any questions about the videos, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Enjoy the videos!

text: There is no need to borrow a baby to get into my apartment. You underestimate your attraction. Stationed in West Germany with the American military, soldier Tulsa McLean (Elvis Presley) hopes to open up a nightclub when he gets out of the army. He lacks the capital for such a venture, but a chance to raise the cash comes his way through a friendly wager with his colleagues. Local dancer Lili (Juliet Prowse) is a notorious ice queen, and Tulsa bets everything he has that a friend of his, Dynamite (Edson Stroll) can earn her affections. But, when Dynamite is dispatched to Alaska, it's up to Tulsa to melt Lili's heart and as his friends Cookie (Robert Ivers) and Turk follow the couple and watch Tulsa negotiate his way into Lili's affections from nearby, a baby enters the picture when Cookie falls for Lili's Italian roommate Tina (Leticia Roman) … An unremarkable service comedy by screenwriters Edmund Beloin and Henry Garson gets the musical romcom makeover starring the King. This gained traction because of course Elvis Presley was himself stationed in Germany, as part of the post-war occupation, curtailing his musical career. This was the first of nine films in partnership with Norman Taurog and it curdled his screen persona and his film performances thereafter. However it is beloved of many fans precisely because of the echoes in his own life – he finds Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis Presley in a jukebox! – and the songs are outstanding. There's some excellent location photography, including on a cable car ride. Juliet Prowse is remarkably charming and her presence alone elevates this in the canon. The King died on this day in 1977. Long live the King!

Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports
If this was Madison Bumgarner's second-to-last start at Oracle Park, he is going out as he lived:
In a simmering war with umpires.
But when the feud between Bumgarner and home-plate umpire CB Bucknor was over, there was little to distract from the game. And when the entertainment of Bumgarner facing off with both rookie Marlins and a veteran umpire concluded, it got ugly.
Bumgarner was the attraction and Shaun Anderson (for a change) and the Giants' offense the unattraction in a 4-2 loss to the Marlins on Saturday.
The Giants have now scored 10 runs in four games, their offense going silent yet again at home. They engineered eight hits and wasted most, going 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. They put the go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth, but call-ups Cristhian Adames and Mike Gerber struck out and bounced out, respectively.
A healthy crowd of 38,663 watched Bumgarner steal the show, the to-be free agent, likely to make one more start in San Francisco to close out the year, providing more memories from a pitcher nearly as known for his bickering as his greatness.
To be sure, Bumgarner was brilliant for seven, four-hit innings, but his feud with Bucknor was even more fun.
CB Buckner is mad at Bumgarner somehow, even though Buckner called a pitch a ball that was arguably right down the middle. @MLB time to get an auto strike zone or better umps. Harsh but true. #SFGiants pic.twitter.com/DoGrBayKVV
— Hardeep Dhillon (@Hardeepd2) September 15, 2019
The first snipes were fired in the third, when Bumgarner stared down Bucknor and began barking after a ball that sure looked like a strike. Bucknor removed his mask and shouted right back at the big lefty, who slowly paced around the mound and gave the ump his back.
As luck would have it, Bumgarner was the No. 2 hitter in the bottom of the frame, and the two kept jawing. After one questionable strike – Statcast marked it as a strike, too – Bumgarner threw up a hand, the theater far more entertaining than a game between an also-ran and a tanking team.
But the faceoff drama eventually had to end – after Bumgarner allowed a two-run bomb to Jorge Alfaro, Statcast marking it a 473-foot moon shot to left in the seventh to dig the Giants a hole they would escape, but only momentarily.
In the bottom of the seventh, Bruce Bochy pulled off some magic, just not enough.
Brandon Crawford led off with a single before Mauricio Dubon doubled. Chris Shaw was in the on-deck circle, but Bochy pulled him back as lefty Brian Moran was announced, and in came Donovan Solano instead.
Smooth move. Solano tripled, tying the score. Bochy's next maneuver didn't work as well, as Gerber, pinch-hitting for a possibly hurting Mike Yastrzemski, bounced out without scoring Solano from third. Brandon Belt then flew out, as the Marlins escaped the inning tied, 2-2.
The Giants re-dug their two-run hole again in the eighth, when Anderson entered with a runner on second and opened the floodgates. Miguel Rojas doubled in the go-ahead run, before Lewis Brinson singled in another, an off night on Anderson's first attempt at going back-to-back.
The Giants' scariest moment came in the third, when Yastrzemski got hit in the foot – after fouling a pitch off his other foot earlier in the at-bat – and sprawled out on the ground. It took a few minutes of his willing his foot back to relative health, and he remained in the game until being pinch-hit for in the seventh.
A Yastrzemski injury that keeps him sidelined would be unfortunately timed, with the Giants visiting Boston – a legendary place for the Yastrzemski family – beginning Tuesday.

HelloGiggles & Cards Against Humanity just made the morning that much brighter. Just think — in 20 years, you can tell your kids that you were on the right side of history. You saved America. And all it took was giving a small donation of $15 to Cards Against Humanity. No, we're not joking! Cards Against Humanity bought land on the U.S. border to prevent Trump from building his wall, and you can buy your own piece of the protest.
Early November 14th, the potty-mouthed card game announced its Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign. The campaign website reads,
Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans. He is so afraid that he wants to build a twenty-billion dollar wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing. So we've purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.
It's crazy! It's brilliant! Will it work?
There's really only one way to find out. After you give the company your $15, you'll receive a box of six surprises come December. So it's pretty much a win-win situation. You're saving America and getting some cool (and probably hilarious) gifts for doing so.
The government is being run by a toilet. We have no choice… we are going to save America and attempt to keep our brand relevant in 2017
Join in and for $15 we'll send you six America-saving surprises this December: https://t.co/o1BFmokO9W
— CardsAgainstHumanity (@CAH) November 14, 2017
Once you claim one of the slots that ensures you're helping Cards Against Humanity fight back against Trump, you'll receive a map of the land they purchased, a certificate of their promise to fight the wall, new cards, "and a few other surprises," the site states.
We are back on our bullshit: https://t.co/Im3XTvoezM
— Jenn (@jenndangerous) November 14, 2017
To get customers amped for the holiday/patriotic promotion, Cards Against Humanity released a comical-yet-inspiring video in an effort to get the American people riled up.
Stay mad, America! Stay mad and fight back!
Cards Against Humanity just might be the savior we've been looking for. Head over to the campaign website to grab your piece of history while it lasts.

The World
Israel's military chief announced a shake-up to punish soldiers for security lapses that allowed a guerrilla on a hang glider to infiltrate the northern border and carry out the bloodiest attack inside Israel in nearly a decade. Chief of Staff Dan Shomron ordered two soldiers to face courts-martial, and the commander of the base was removed from his post. The announcement also said that steps are being taken to correct holes in Israel's security net in the wake of the Nov. 25 raid near the town of Kiryat Shemona by an Arab commando that killed six soldiers and wounded seven.

Vanitas, Rough
by Lisa Russ Spaar
Persea Books 2012
Reviewed by Peter Longofono
"regnant with a strange, godlike power"
Reading Lisa Russ Spaar, one can't swing a stick without hitting Hopkins or Keats. Her chiseled diction and nimble command of vocabulary ennoble her subjects in ways reminiscent of both; she is equal parts sensual and cerebral. Furiously compact, classically restrained, her poems arrive at weighty moral fulcrums after astonishing flights of virtuosity. It's all earned, and formally packed with such adroitness that her numinous, soul-destroying gestures gust backwards through the lines preceding them. Here is the complete text of the poem "Midas Passional":
No one has touched me for weeks
yet in this drugged, gilt afternoon, late,
when nothing is safe, I'm paralyzed,
as though so wildly desired—passing solo through the garden's
cinnamon, marigolds, famished roses, where a matted shingle
of the swept-up human hair I begged from a local beauty shop
& spread out fruitlessly among the blooms & canes
to keep away the deer might well be a satyr
passed out in the palace's candied gold—
that something regnant with a strange, godlike power
could not help but reach out from the umbral blue
to tap my white arm. It is a day to die,
the light autoerotic, theatrical, with an unbearable listing,
stalled in cusp, in leonine torpor. Is courage artifice?
As though to answer were within my means.
Or to even move my mouth.
This is breviary poetry, prayer-taut and rite-prone. One look at the table of contents confirms her hagiographer's bent—"St. Protagonist," "St. Volition," "Graven," "Iconoclast"— if the term weren't already so loaded, devotional poetry might even be the perfect descriptor. Spaar reclaims it, brimming with litanies, doxologies, canticles. Her talent for catalogue simultaneously claims American poetry's obsession with objecthood and Baroque ornamentation. Strong accoutrement, at once worldly and other-, greets the reader front and center, as in this opening volley: "triangular glasses, brumal volts, gin, / frescade of pearls, plucked, sunned olives." We're reminded of pagan spreads, but also the Hagia Sophia.
This characteristic paradox lodges in most of her poems, spicing them, often an alloy of the final image and the words making up said image. It is important to Spaar, crucially so, to incorporate these troubling elements. For example:
On knees stained by the zodiac
I hold nothing back;
self in augend now, low tide—
a sky increased by subside—
There's Dickinson in there, too: neat rhyme capped with dashes, the Self sharply apparent against the Eternal. Yet as often as things rise to sacramental intensity, she's never unwilling to cut the pretty out. She'll drop a "metafucked" or a "vagenda" disarmingly, willfully upsetting her own sense of procedural care. Self-abasement and doubt play freely with lust, resoluteness, and empathy. Nothing's reducible, least of all God. And there's Hopkins and Keats for you: the former's sonnets, the latter's negative capability and struggle with received spirituality. How to read her, then? She's their great-granddaughter. She'll floor you out of sheer whim and have you convinced, all in fishtailing syntax and Fabergé prosody. Read each terse piece three or four times—don't worry, you'll want to—and revel in a voice steeped in generations of delicious unease.

While traveling recently in Norway, I came across "Camouflage," a group exhibition by military veterans of wars and other armed conflicts that doubled as a form of therapy. It was presented in Bergen, Norway's second largest city, and was curated by Per Ruttledal with the assistance of Suellen Meidell and Robert Rodrigues. Meidell told me she had served with the Norwegian military in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2007, as part of a NATO force-protection unit. Because I could not record the sound track on her video, which could only be heard on headphones, she gave me permission to substitute anything I wanted. Hope she approves.
About 11% of the soldiers returning from the Iraq and Afghan wars have PTSD, and about 15% of those from Vietnam. So I wonder why we have to turn to Norway to see a high profile exhibition about the topic?
80 million people died in the two world wars. Can PTSD become a collective phenomenon that shapes culture? Does Western culture have something like PTSD?
I'm also wondering what music you used to accompany the video?

I think you have to work to get autumn colour in this country. It doesn't all come at the same time and in the same place so you have to keep going out looking for it. Calderdale is blessed with lots of old broadleaf woods and gets some wonderful colour at this time of year, though it will be better still towards the end of October. The colours are only just starting at the moment and there is still plenty of rich green around.

Here I am in my old house in the alley in Upland California, age 27 — August 1981 — Note my photo of Malachi Favors on wall behind AND on the floor Connie Crothers first album PERCEPTION which was in constant rotation those days —– I had only known Connie's name in association with Lennie Tristano but as wyrd weaves its ways into your life, one day I'm in a supermarket and there's a box up by the cash register that has only about 50 various albums all for 99 cents —- Now, let me explain: Record albums are not sold in supermarkets in Southern California (except during the Tijuana Brass craze of the early 60s and you'd find those in supermarkets) mostly supermarkets are for food (or as food industry observer Michael Pollan says: Never venture into the aisles, that's where the horror begins, where all the processed "foods" are, just stick to the edges of supermarkets where the vegetable department is, and the meat, and the dairy) ———- SO, I'm standing in line and there's these albums, and here's this Connie Crothers, and it's a reputable label –Inner City– and what's it doing here? It must have been an insurance recoup from a truck accident? and so I bought one, took it home: a Saturday near Noon, put it on the stereo and it blew my mind, completely unexpected actually (I was somewhat jaded those years after the onslaught of music I'd been tearing through — I was, as Bob Dylan calls it: a musical expeditionary, still am) —- and this trio of Connie's was like someone crawled inside my head and played music the way I always wanted to hear it — I was Los Angeles correspondent to CODA and the next annual Writers Choice I listed it in my ten favorite records of 1982 —- Wyrd is Anglo-Saxon/Northern European concept of Fate —- little did I know at the time how much the music of Connie Crothers would intertwine with my future.

Air, sound, starlight

so shonan nango ngliacto monnan sended
tree bird sky
That's all a radio show is: treebirdsky energy & spinning spheres
I lived in this alley house 1972-1985 — this photo by me circa 1981 on a foggy day, Southern California gets those dense pea soup fog coverings —- Frank Zappa has an extended work "Little House I Used to Live In" and it always reminds me of my little house at 400 1/2 Laurel Avenue, Upland, about 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles
It was just me & James Booker & the fan & that Out of Order Cigarette machine & a few inattentive tourists, one afternoon in the French Quarter — July 9, 1982 — Crescent City Cafe, 601 Chartres Street — I remember James Booker finished directly at 5 o'clock stood straight up and walked right out the door, didn't even grab the green in his tip jar — a ghost, he disappeared.

I still have to edit the recordings down for radio play someday! —– on today's radio show I'll probably spin Dick's rendition of Jelly Roll Morton's "The Crave" which flew up in memory only last Saturday night at the Outpost in the hands of the New Orleans professor Tom McDermott —- Dick's version is with his New York Jazz Repertory Company w/Joe Wilder, Kenny Davern, Dick Hyman, Vic Dickenson, Milt Hinton, and Ali Ryerson's father Art Ryerson on guitar! a 15-piece orchestra —- Kenny told me that the band uniform had NYJRC as a sewn insignia above the pocket and he joked that they all said it stood for: New York Jewish Rowing Squad (don't quote me on the "Squad" it was something like that)

"What we lose most when we debilitate music education is the chance to create through music. Because music education does more than just train artists, it gives students exposure to the creative processes inherent to the arts, and human creativity is a valuable economic resource"
Joel Ostdiek, a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, explores the power of music as a universal language. When he was teaching children in Uganda, music allowed him to navigate a country in which he had no prior experience and, from day one, to connect to the new people he met. Rather than highlighting the differences between people, sharing music allowed him to be find common ground with others because music is a language we can all understand.
Excellent presentation.

The French maker of $10,000 Birkin handbags said Thursday it's projecting sales growth of 8 per cent this year at constant exchange rates, below the mid-term annual target for a 10 per cent increase that it reiterated as recently as November. Hermes shares fell as much as 2.1 per cent in Paris.
The guidance "is sobering," said Luca Solca, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas in London. While Hermes has "strong brand growth momentum," he said, "we wonder if market expectations and the share price have possibly gone ahead of themselves."
Hermes has weathered slowing luxury growth better than many of its peers as high prices, limited supply and distribution help reinforce its elitist appeal. Sales excluding currency moves rose 9.6 per cent in the fourth quarter, the company also said Thursday, led by gains in its own stores.
The shares fell as much as 6.3 euros to 287.95 euros and traded at 288.5 euros as of 10:04 a.m. in the French capital, giving the company a market value of 30.5 billion euros.
Unfavourable currency swings, particularly the weakness of the Japanese yen, hurt profitability last year, according to Hermes, which will publish earnings figures on March 25. The current operating margin was probably between 31 per cent and the record 32.4 per cent achieved in 2013, a spokeswoman said. In November, Hermes said the measure may narrow "slightly."
Quarterly revenue rose to 1.22 billion euros ($1.75 billion Canadian) in the final three months of the year, just shy of the 1.23 billion-euro median of analysts' estimates.
An 8.9 per cent gain in Asia-Pacific sales, excluding Japan, was "impressive, given the disruption caused by the Hong Kong protests in the period," said Mario Ortelli, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in London.
While sales trailed analysts' estimates in France, growth accelerated in the rest of Europe, exceeding estimates. Revenue growth was strongest in the Americas and Japan. Leather goods and saddlery also performed well, though watches tumbled more than predicted, hurt by destocking in China.
Annual sales rose 11 per cent at constant exchange rates.
LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the world's largest luxury-goods maker, began unwinding its 23 per cent stake in Hermes in December to settle a four-year dispute with its rival's biggest shareholders for accumulating the stock without their knowledge. LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault and his family now own less than 10 per cent of Hermes, according to Bloomberg data.

I am dissapointed with my Delta 50-760 for the following reasons…
1. It is too loud.
2.It cannot pick up more than ten handplane shavings with out blocking all the grids inside.
3.I cannot use it anywhere near my chopsaw, small offcuts have caused several dents in the case when they slam into the inner parts.
4.I touch the large fabric bag and a cloud of fine dust falls, Am I breathing this stuff?

I think new filter, separator and perhaps an ambient filter might be the way to go. Can you put the unit external to your shop? I upgraded my bag to a canister, added a separator, moved it to the back corner, and bought a JET overhead filter unit. Mine gobbles up shavings pretty well. Unless you want to upgrade to an expensive cyclone unit, I think you're stuck with the recommendations others have given above.

#1. They all make noise. If there was no noise, there would be no air movement, if there is no air movement, there is no dust being collected. Simply put. Deal with it.
#2. They all do that. Long curly shavings are not dust. If you want to avoid this problem. You need a pre-separator in your dust collection system. Spend the bucks for a cyclone, or build a Thien separator and that problem mostly, but not 100% goes away. (You CAN trip a cyclone or a Thien if you really abuse them).
#3. Again, we are dealing with a HUGE problem of expectation. This is a DUST collector, not a wood chunk collector. The fact that it DOES suck up wood chunks big enough to dent the housing is actually really impressive for a 1.5 HP DC… Again, if you want to avoid this problem, use a separator…
#4. On the dust falling. Is it inside or outside the DC that the dust is falling? If outside, you do indeed have a problem. I would say if it is inside the bag, then unless your head is in there, don't worry about it… But if it is outside, then your bag isn't doing its job well… I personally would suggest upgrading the filter media to a Wynn 35A canister filter. They give you MUCH more surface area, and I can attest by personal experience, they filter very well…

Lots of good suggestions above. In addition, I would remove the grid which covers the fan inlet. Even then, I have heard that hand plane shavings can be difficult to pick up and get thru the fan without hanging up on the blades. You might consider sweeping up the hand plane shavings.

I am just now able to see your pic. You DO have a separator. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong though, Your side inlet points down at a 45 degree angle. Why? I would think that would stir up the stuff below and just shove it up into the intake to the DC…
In your pic, it is hard to tell if that is a thien designed separator, but I seriously doubt that it is. With the pot belly sides of that drum, it would be next to impossible to get the baffle clearances right with a Thien…
Do your stress level a HUGE favor and check out Phil's design…
It will go a LONG way to helping keep your hair. Assuming you still have any…

I moved mine outside and built an enclosure for it. Also, I am fortunate not to have neighbors nearby so I removed the top filter bag and rigged up a 4 inch exhaust tube in its place so I just blow all the dust into the woods. The bottom bag is full but I don't empty it and the excess just blows out the tube.It seems to work well, I get a lot of suction and after removing the grid near the impellers it does not plug up.

Our Harbor Freight 2 HP DC isn't loud at all. Have an older Delta that screams.
A pre-separator solves #2 and #3.
A Wynn cartridge filter solves #4.
Any good dust collection system should be coupled with a good air filtration system. We have a Jet air filter that really works well, has a remote control, and can be set to run for a period of time after we leave the shop.
Good luck

Zinke Blames 'Radical Environmentalists' for Historic California Wildfire
In an interview with Breitbart News on Sunday, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke blamed "radical environmentalists" for the wildfires that have devastated California in recent weeks, The Huffington Post reported.
"I will lay this on the foot of those environmental radicals that have prevented us from managing the forests for years. And you know what? This is on them," he said in the interview.
You can listen to the whole thing here:
The remarks come as California has suffered the deadliest blaze in the state's history. The death toll from the Camp Fire, which destroyed the town of Paradise in Northern California, has now risen to 79. Around 1,000 people are still listed as missing, and the fire is now 70 percent contained, according to an Associated Press report Monday.
California Governor Jerry Brown blamed climate change in a statement made last weekend.
"Managing all the forests everywhere we can does not stop climate change, and those who deny that definitely are contributing to the tragedies that we are witnessing and will continue to witness," Brown said.
Regardless, Zinke has remained consistent in pointing the finger at forest management. His current criticisms echo his remarks following other fires this August, in which he said the increasingly frequent and violent blazes were the result of inadequate forest management, and not climate change. He continued in that vein during Sunday's interview:
"In many cases, it's these radical environmentalists who want nature to take its course. We have dead and dying timber. We can manage it using best science, best practices. But to let this devastation go on year after year after year is unacceptable, it's not going to happen. The president is absolutely engaged."
President Donald Trump has indeed vehemently blamed forest mismanagement ever since the recent batch of fires broke out, even threatening at one point to withhold federal funding if the forests weren't managed properly. During a visit to California Saturday to survey damage, Trump brought up forest management again, suggesting that the problem in California was that the forests were not raked enough.
"You look at other countries where they do it differently, and it's a whole different story," he said, as CNN reported. "I was with the president of Finland, and he said: 'We have a much different [sic] ..., we're a forest nation.' And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem," he added.
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, however, told a Finnish newspaper he did not recall suggesting raking to Trump.
"I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network," he said.
Finnish people have taken to Twitter to poke fun at the U.S. President's statement using the hashtag "Raking America Great Again."
Just an ordinary day in the Finnish forest ~ Ihan normipäivä suomalaisessa metsässä #Trump #forest #firesafety… https://t.co/mU44zuvoXc— Pyry Luminen (@Pyry Luminen)1542550421.0
Despite Trump and Zinke's criticisms, the fact remains that the federal government controls almost 60 percent of the forests in California while the state controls only three percent. Paradise was surrounded by federal, not state, forests. Further, the fires in Southern California spread in suburban and urban areas, The Huffington Post reported.
Mr. President, with all due respect, you are wrong. The fires in So. Cal are urban interface fires and have NOTHIN… https://t.co/Sb80VzOuy7— Pasadena Fire Assn. (@Pasadena Fire Assn.)1541870515.0
Some think the emphasis put by Zinke and Trump on forest management is not about preventing fires at all but rather an attempt to justify opening more public forests to private logging interests.

'Unfit Leader': Neil Young Loses Home to Fire, Rips Trump for Insensitive Tweet
Musician Neil Young, who lost his Malibu home to the devastating Woolsey fire, is urging the world to come together to fight climate change—especially since the president of the U.S. seems "unfit" to take care of the problem, as the icon said.
On Sunday, the legendary rocker posted a letter on his website, the Neil Young Archives, blasting Donald Trump's infamous denial of climate science and his Saturday tweet that blamed California's wildfires on "gross mismanagement of the forests" even though most of the fires are burning on federal land.

Biomass Energy May Accelerate Global Warming
Southern Environmental Law Center
A new study of southeastern forests in the U.S. finds that in the long run, burning wood instead of fossil fuels to make electricity can reduce heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but not soon enough to prevent worsening the conditions leading to global climate change.
The study also shows that as the industry expands in the Southeast, biomass energy will increasingly come from cutting standing trees instead of using wood residues from sawmills and other sources, emphasizing the need to balance forest ecosystem health and related values, such as drinking water and wildlife habitat, with renewable energy objectives.
Based on current trends in using wood for large-scale power plants and exporting fuel pellets to Europe, biomass energy in the Southeast is projected to produce higher levels of atmospheric carbon for 35 to 50 years compared to fossil fuels. After that, biomass will result in significantly lower atmospheric levels as regrowing forests absorb carbon from previous combustion.
The study, Biomass Supply and Carbon Accounting for Southeastern Forests, was conducted by the Biomass Energy Resource Center in partnership with the Forest Guild and Spatial Informatics Group on behalf of the National Wildlife Federation and the Southern Environmental Law Center, and was funded by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
The study analyzed 17 existing and 22 proposed biomass facilities in seven states—Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Researchers developed a new analytical framework that integrates life-cycle carbon accounting with forest growth and management, as well as supply zone (or "landscape woodshed") data specific to the region. The results are specific to biomass electric power in the Southeast, and different regions and technologies will have different effects on atmospheric carbon.
"This study brings us to the crux of the matter regarding biomass electric power and atmospheric carbon, which is that consideration of near-term tipping points versus long-term carbon reductions must be assessed as we develop climate and energy policy," said Andrea Colnes, policy director for the Biomass Energy Resource Center. "For example, using wood to produce heat through clean technologies has a much shorter payback period than producing electric power, and can yield climate benefits in five to ten years."
"While biomass offers some environmental benefits, any expanded use of logging residue and live trees will affect forest structure and nutrient cycling," said Robert Perschel, eastern forests director with Forest Guild. "This raises questions of long-term forest health and other environmental factors, such as water quality and wildlife habitat, that need to be addressed by further study and reasonable guidelines for the industry."
The Southeast is seeing rapid growth in new and retrofitted power plants that will burn woody biomass to make electricity, as well as a major expansion of the wood-pellet industry, largely for export to Europe. The short-term spike followed by the long-term drop of carbon levels from these facilities poses challenging questions for decision makers in addressing both energy and climate change policy, particularly when factoring in a projected climate change "tipping point."
If carbon emissions continue unabated for the next three to five decades, the planet will likely warm an average of 3.8 degree Fahrenheit, a threshold that scientists and the international community have identified as resulting in irreversible interference with the climate system. This could have significant impacts; for example, the destructive power of hurricanes and severity of droughts could increase, and up to one-third of the world's species could face extinction.
"The timing problem is central to this issue, since adding even more carbon from biomass to the atmosphere over the next 35 to 50 years could accelerate global warming stressors," said Julie Sibbing, director of agriculture and forestry with National Wildlife Federation. "We run the compounded risk of losing forests to severe weather events triggered by climate change, such as droughts and flooding, undermining their ability to sequester carbon over the long run."
"Just because wood is a renewable resource doesn't mean it's automatically carbon neutral," said David Carr, senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center. "How biomass is obtained, burned, and regrown determines its carbon footprint and impact on forest health. To do this right, EPA must require a 'forest-to-furnace' accounting of the biomass carbon cycle to ensure it doesn't hasten climate change."
The choice of combustion technology matters greatly in the carbon footprint of biomass. Previous studies have shown that burning biomass for thermal energy is 70 percent to 80 percent efficient, as opposed to electricity generation which is just 25 percent efficient. Also, the BERC study shows that most of the wood pellets produced in the Southeast are shipped to Europe. The EU assumes that all biomass burned for power is carbon neutral, providing extra incentive for the use of wood pellets from the Southeast. "The EU, like EPA, must require a full carbon accounting that identifies and discourages biomass that worsens global climate change," Carr said.
Overall, the study's results point to the need for state and federal policies to incentivize efficient uses of woody biomass that maximize the benefits and minimize the near-term spike in atmospheric carbon.

Burning Wood for Power Threatens Forests
Kentucky Heartwood
By Jim Scheff
The Nov. 27 editorial was correct in asserting that Kentucky needs to diversify its energy portfolio and take meaningful steps toward joining other states in capitalizing on renewable sources of energy and the jobs that come with them.
However, generating electricity by burning wood is not how to do it.
Burning waste wood and low-quality timber for electricity sounds like a great idea. And the stated goals of ecoPower, the Lexington-based company struggling to build a 50-megawatt power station in Hazard, are admirable—Create jobs and renewable electricity while supporting sustainable forest management. Unfortunately, those goals and reality are in disagreement, and the results could be disastrous.
The ecoPower plant will need to burn about 500,000 tons of wood a year to keep running. That's over 400 semi-trucks of wood chips each week. One quarter of this will be supplied by Pine Mountain Lumber, ecoPower's sister company.
However, with small mills and manufacturers increasingly using their wood waste in on-site boilers, ecoPower will most certainly need to turn to wood coming directly from the forest to keep their power plant operating.
In May, just a month before awarding ecoPower $250,000 as part of an initiative to support renewable energy projects, the U.S. Forest Service released The Southern Forest Futures Project Summary Report, stating, "Energy forecasts show wood use for bioenergy starting with and then quickly exhausting harvest residuals and other available wood waste. As a result, bioenergy demand would lead to additional harvesting of raw material."
Biomass harvesting relies heavily on what is called "whole-tree harvesting." This is different than traditional forestry, which leaves the tops of trees, known as "slash." Leaving that slash on the ground is important in limiting erosion and returning vital nutrients back to the soil.
Again quoting the Southern Forest Futures Project Summary Report, "Forecasted levels of woody-biomass harvests could lead to a reduction of stand productivity, deterioration of biodiversity, depletion of soil fertility, and a decline in water quality."
The recently released Recommendations for the Harvesting of Woody Biomass, produced by the Kentucky Division of Forestry, echoes these concerns, stating that removing this extra material "could result in possible impacts to soil productivity, soil compaction, water quality and quantity, wildlife habitat, and other environmental influences tied to forest sustainability."
Further, dragging whole trees through the forest to a central chipping and loading site, as is common with biomass harvesting, scars the soil, damages native seedlings, and creates conditions known to promote the establishment of non-native invasive plants such as Tree-of-Heaven and Japanese stiltgrass.
And then there's the issue of carbon neutrality. It's simply not honest to say that logging is carbon neutral, as many biomass proponents insist. Peer-reviewed studies, including those that factor in long-lived wood products, have offered inconsistent conclusions on whether forest regrowth captures all of the carbon released.
But this is beside the point. With new studies suggesting a 3- to 6-foot increase in sea level by the end of the century, we simply can't wait 70 or 100 years for the forest to recapture the carbon released from logging and burning.
Smart, sustainable forestry is important to Kentucky's future, and the well-meaning people at ecoPower know this. Creating a market to support thinning forests that are recovering from prior mismanagement could help promote forest health in some places.
However, in the absence of appropriate regulations or binding purchasing agreements, a woody-biomass market will too easily lead to damage that outweighs potential benefits. Future generations deserve to inherit productive, diverse forests that can sustain families and communities. An under-regulated wood-burning biomass economy puts this at risk.
The sad irony is that if the ecoPower facility never opens, it will be for all of the wrong reasons. It won't be because of a commitment toward sustainable forestry. It will be the perennial Kentucky story of the influence of the coal industry dictating not only policy, but our futures.
Moving away from fossil fuels will require large-scale efficiency and innovation, including wind, solar and micro-hydro, but is completely possible if our legislators are willing to stop subsidizing the big polluters that fund their campaigns and instead create incentives to promote a truly sustainable energy economy.

Focus on Don Perata in Oakland mayoral forum
CAMPAIGN 2010 / Oakland Mayor's Race
With less than two months to go before Oakland voters pick a new mayor, nearly all the attention - positive and negative - is focusing on Don Perata.
The former state Senate leader has a slight lead in polls and is trouncing rivals in fundraising. But he's also receiving the brunt of criticisms from opponents, who can win the election even if they don't receive a plurality of first-place votes, thanks to the city's adoption of ranked-choice voting for the Nov. 2 election.
Perata and the other nine mayoral hopefuls will be making a rare joint appearance tonight at a candidates forum. At least five such forums have been held so far, but Perata has attended only one.
It's an absence that has prompted some to compare him to the city's current mayor, Ron Dellums.
"It's starting to feel like an absentee mayor, and all Oaklanders know what that is like," said Greg Harland, a businessman running for mayor.
Perata is unperturbed by the criticism.
"There are so many hours in the day and there are only so many things you can do," Perata said. He intends to attend eight more forums before the election, he said.
Perata has also been the target of complaints from some opponents, particularly City Councilwoman Jean Quan, over campaign spending. An independent expenditure committee with links to Perata has spent more than $95,000, an action that lifts the city's voluntary spending cap of $379,000 that candidates can spend on their own.
Perata's foes say that would benefit one candidate only - Perata.
Perata suggested that his rivals were grasping and that the criticisms were trifling.
"I'm used to being criticized by the best," he said. "I was the Democratic leader of the state Senate."
Tonight's forum is presented by the Oakland League of Women Voters, the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Bay Area Business Roundtable.
The forum initially was limited to candidates who met certain criteria, such as having a campaign office or receiving at least 5 percent support in a poll. But three candidates didn't qualify - Terence Candell, Larry Lionel Young Jr. and Don Macleay.
Perata balked at participating, saying the restrictions were unfair to less-prominent candidates and noting that Candell and Young are black. The organizers ultimately relented.
"Given the way that was playing out, it was best to have everybody come," said Scott Peterson, the Chamber of Commerce's public policy director.
In the chamber's poll, conducted in the second week of September, Perata was the favorite of 26 percent of those surveyed. Quan was at 22 percent, and Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan had 12 percent. All were outpolled by "undecided," however, which had 33 percent.
"It really is a three-person race," Peterson said.
One candidate who takes exception to that is Joe Tuman, a KPIX-TV political analyst and San Francisco State University communications professor.
Ranked-choice voting is a big wild card, Tuman said.
Even though history in San Francisco has shown that first-place votes almost always determine the eventual winner, Tuman suggested otherwise.
"I hope that we have the chance (at the forum) to explain the importance of second- and third-place votes," Tuman said.
Mayoral forum
The Oakland mayoral candidates forum will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight at the Kaiser Center auditorium, 300 Lakeside Drive. The candidates will be answering questions posed by reporters.

La Signora
I spent a long time last night taking my sprayer to pieces and cleaning all the little bits, but so as not to go the same way as yesterday, I phoned the family-run business where I bought it years ago.
As usual, they recognised my voice. (And advised me to use hot water to mix the ingredients, which worked.)
Is my speech that distinctive, though? Everyone always recognises my voice. I can never be anonymous even if I want to be.
There are few foreigners in this part of Italy, it's true, and my accent starts peeping through after the first greeting or so. Also I have a slight lisp.
You'd perhaps expect people to know me by name – Damaris, or Signora West. But no-one can cope with either my first name (mangled variously as Daminus or Daramis if they even make the effort) or my surname because 'w' in Italian is virtually non-existent.
So who am I? I'm LA SIGNORA!! (The lady.)
(Add the epithet English, American, Dutch or German as the fancy takes you because people often mistake my nationality.)
Even Clive fairs better than me – probably because he's less tolerant.
So 'la signora' phoned; 'la signora' will do it; give it to 'la signora'.
People call out to me: "Signora!" Even people I've known for years have no other way of addressing me.
Ah well. The dogs think something to me. My smell, mainly …

Alton Estate
Description of Alton Estate
Alton Estate regeneration next to Richmond Park in Roehampton, London SW15.
Wandsworth Council and development partner Redrow replace post-war council housing in parts of the 17-acre Alton estate, creating a new library and retail area twice the size of existing provision; a new health centre and children's centre; a new park and around 1,000 private and affordable new homes.
Around 1,000 new homes will be created including the re-provision of 158 council homes for secure tenants, and the construction of at least 30 new council homes, while 68 existing owner-occupiers will also be provided with a new home on the estate. Furthermore, 30 heritage-listed sheltered housing bungalows, which have featured in the film Fahrenheit 451, will be renovated to ensure they meet modern space standards.
Health and children's centre:
A new health and family-focussed community centre will be built at Portswood Place, opposite the reconfigured and redesigned Downshire Field. The new highly quality community facilities will include a children's centre, nursery, medical primary care centre, pharmacy, and a local youth charity.
Community pavilion:
A new community pavilion will sit within the Capability Brown landscape, forming part of the 5500m² of D1 community floor space currently proposed. It will create a focal point for existing and new community groups and events, and will include a flexible general purpose meeting hall, a group meeting rooms, and catering facilities. A large external terrace, opposite new adventure areas and upgraded play provision within Downshire Field, will enable activities; exercise sessions, community events and classes to expand from the interior out into the green setting.
A new community library and learning centre will increase services currently provided, including individually-designed children's and adults' libraries, alongside a state of the art IT hub and community café. A large and accessible community hall will provide a central location for community groups, learning services and events, and a gallery space will offer facilities for local arts groups.
Office and retail:
The new development will include up to 5000m² of A1 – A4 retail space, doubling the size of current provision. Proposals will also aim to deliver new and dedicated B1 workspace along with new offices for local housing management, youth clubs and related services.
Transport and connectivity:
Proposals will create a pedestrian and cycle-friendly environment, promoting access to Richmond Park and nearby Barnes railway station. Improvements to local bus routes, increasing transportation links, will also be explored.

These smarts are like cell phones. Catastrophic failure? Just take the battery out then put it back in, bro!
But yeah, this car isn't going to be the daily, it's way too fragile. Besides, I don't want to have to worry about future engine rebuilds.
Three Bars of Death in my convertible smart. Perhaps daily driving a project car wasn't a great decision.
Uggh...today is really just grinding my gears.
Letting the car sit for 30 didn't work. Aight, now to disconnect the battery.
If I get the transmission working, the car's going back into storage. It's probably best not to daily a car that can strand you at any moment. Plus, the 450 engines aren't the best DD material.

What tool are you using to create your book? (BookSmart, BookWright, etc)
Finding the created and saved layout
I created a book from the selected templates and uploaded photos, I save it as My Layout and save it in my USB too..now I cannot find it , I guess will start over...please help
Bitte melden Sie sich an, um einen Kommentar zu hinterlassen.

I am using bookwright
did you ever find them? I'm having the same problem and can't find the saved layouts.
When you save a layout, it is saved only for the format and trim size you created it under.
For example, if you were making a magazine and saved 2 layouts, those 2 layouts will only show when you make another magazine. If you started a standard landscape photo book, those 2 layouts would not appear there. This happens because a layout will not be sized or positioned correctly from one trim size to another.
I was placing a order on a boo and was on the page where you puit your credit card info and my computer shut down, it looed lie it was down loaded but now I cant find, have I lost the boo

Gai Purity Argan Oil Review
When you first experience the velvety texture of Gai Purity argan oil, you will likely want to use it again and again! You will also continue using it on a daily basis, with your skin, hair and nails becoming healthier for it.
For those who aren't familiar with the product, argan oil is the plant oil extracted from the kernels of the argan fruit, which are obviously harvested from the argan tree. This is a relatively small tree cultivated in Morocco, a country that supplies most, if not all, of the world's argan oil.
Argan oil is a relatively expensive plant oil for the mass market, especially in comparison with the likes of lavender oil and jojoba oil, among others. This is partly because of the labor-intensive process involved in its production, especially where cracking the nuts and getting the kernels inside them are concerned. In fact, these steps can only be done by hand since it has proven extremely challenging for producers to mechanize them.
Features of the Gai Purity Argan Oil
But even with the higher price, the Gai Purity Argan Oil is still among the more popular of its kind in the market because of the following features.
100% authentic argan oil imported from Morocco
Many cheaper argan oils aren't the real deal mainly because these have been diluted with water or carrier oils. Their efficacy in restoring the health of your skin, hair and nails aren't as guaranteed in comparison with 100% argan oil. Their look, feel and smell will also be affected because of the dilution, such as a more watery consistency or a neutral smell.
In contrast, the Gai Purity Argan Oil has a thicker consistency due to its 100% pure argan oil content – no fillers like water and carrier oils, as well as no preservatives and additives. Even its color, in and out of the bottle, indicates that it's the real deal – a light golden yellow color that many compare to light-colored honey.
The faint nutty smell also indicates that it's fresh and pure instead of mixed with other carrier oils. But if you're bothered by the smell, you can wait for it to dissipate a few minutes after applying on your skin or hair, or mix a few drops with a fragrant carrier oil, or combine a few drops with your scented body lotion or face cream. Many women, nonetheless, find the slight nutty smell pleasant, not to mention that it dissipates on its own.
Fast absorption into the skin and hair
The Gai Purity argan oil leaves a shiny film after application, a natural thing since it's a plant oil, after all. But because the skin easily and quickly absorbs it, the shiny film fades away within 15 minutes or so, especially when it's been rubbed well.
Plus, it's best to use just 1-2 drops for your entire face and body to reduce the shininess while still providing your skin with argan oil's hydrating properties. Depending on your hair's thickness and texture, a single drop will suffice as a leave-on conditioner and scalp protector. Just gently rub into your scalp and focus on the ends of your hair for best results.
Argan oil can also be easily washed off with tap water. When you leave it on your skin or hair overnight, it will be largely absorbed so washing off the residue will only take a minute or two.
Has hydration properties
The main reason why Moroccan women have used pure argan oil as part of their beauty routine is that it provides plenty of hydration – or moisture – for the skin and hair. When it's applied, it helps the skin to lock in moisture and prevents the drying effect of heat sources, such as the sun, as well as curlers, blow dryers, and irons, on it. The thin film of argan oil acts as a shield against the adverse effects of environmental factors, chemical dyes, and hair appliances.
With regular and proper application on the skin, hair and nails, argan oil has been proven effective in restoring the health of aging skin and damaged hair. Most of its users, especially the women, report that their skin becomes smoother and suppler with reduced signs of fine lines and wrinkles. Even their hair appears bouncier and thicker with decreased appearance of fly-aways, split ends, and frizz, especially when used as an overnight leave-on conditioner at least twice a week.
These benefits don't just come from argan oil's hydrating properties either. Argan oil also contains high levels of vitamins A, C and E as well as antioxidants and essential fatty acids (e.g., omega-3), which have anti-aging properties. For example, vitamins A, C and E are considered as the trinity of anti-aging creams because these promote healthy skin cell production and protect against the effects of free radicals.
- 100% authentic argan oil
- Safe and effective for use in all types of skin in men, women and children
- Can be mixed with carrier oils, body lotions, or with bath water, as well as used on its own
- Delivers on the promise of smoother and softer skin, as well as healthier hair
- Reasonably priced considering its benefits
- Cannot be used as makeup primer
The Gai Purity Argan Oil is an affordable investment in your young-looking skin, hair and nails! Each 4-ounce bottle will last for several weeks, too.

Women and migration
Women refugees suffered more harassment.
Forced displacement and migration are increasing because of war, hunger, economic and social reasons throughout the world.
At the end of 2017 refugees were estimated to be 68.5 million, according to UN figures. Some 3 million more people were forced to leave their homes in comparison to 2016.
Syria remains the country that most significantly has contributed to the increase: at the end of 2017 there were 12.6 million forcibly displaced citizens from Syria, comprising around 6.3 million refugees, 6.2 million internally displaced people and 146,700 asylum seekers.
According to the UN in Turkey there are at least 3,424,200 refugees.
Women account for half of the refugee population. But often they experience a special situation and face many sexual, social and psychological problems due to their gender.
The main issues are sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, prejudice persecution, harmful practices linked to 'traditions', sexual violence and domestic violence.
Migrant women had often suffered harassment even before being forced to leave their homes. They have often been harassed by regime forces, they have suffered sexual torture, mass rape and unwanted pregnancy, they have been kidnapped and taken hostage by the parties at war, they are an object of human trafficking.
In the country of asylum, often they too suffered from different kinds of harassment, from sexual to bullying, while waiting for legal status.
The woman, who has to struggle alone with the problems she is facing, finds herself alone within national and international organizations.
Status of Female Refugees
According to a survey data called 'Health Status of Refugees' carried out by Turkey's Health Ministry and the World Health Organization and related to 2016 it can be observed that:
- 18.4 percent of Syrian female refugees have never received any education. This rate corresponds to one in five women among Syrian refugees.
- 16.1 percent of the women left elementary school and only 33 percent of women graduated from primary school.
- 8.4 percent of Syrian refugee women never married, 7 percent divorced and 9 percent lost their husband in the war.
- 84.4 percent of Syrian refugee women work at home.
4.9 percent work as a labourer, 3.5 percent is unemployed.
Of the 300 women participating in the study, 81.3 percent was married when they were under 25.
42.7 percent of the women have 5 or more children.
11.3 percent of women have carried out voluntary miscarriages.
- Among the Syrian women sheltered in Turkey until the end of 2016, there were 184,390 birth.

Ever feel like you're hanging on by a thread....look for the tea bag at the end of it...and drink up! Things will be looking up soon! :) Over the past few months when work got overwhelming and I couldn't get caught up on things...I wish I had realized I needed to stop and seek the peace that ONLY comes from Christ. I heard a beautiful sermon about peace over the weekend....you can hear it here under the "Well Ordered Heart Series: http://www.stonegatefellowship.com/www2012/sgtv.html
I still struggle with this, but I'm working on "stopping" and pursuing peace. How do you pursue peace?
I'm excited for this week because I have LOTS of great projects and ideas going and I can't wait to work on all of them!!! Sometimes that makes it hard to focus on one at a time..but I've got a list and a plan and I'll do my best! It's been a "rainy"/cloudy day here and I'm feeling like getting cozy...but I suppose making a cup of tea and being productive will be on the agenda for tonight. :)
Thanks to your great response and support on my new Custom TOMS and Sponsorships! If you're interested in any info on either..check out the links on the right side of my blog or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
happy day!
