Programmer Releases App for South Shore Commuters

A northern Indiana man has developed a smartphone app that allows commuters using the South Shore train line to check on the status of their train.Greg Koons began developing phone applications in 2011 with fellow Purdue University graduates working for in a startup company. One of the 31-year-old Hobart man's recent creations is his iSouthShore app that's available for both Android and Apple phones.Koons told the Post-Tribune that since commuters on South Shore trains are often working on their phones or playing games, he took that trend further and created an app that allows them to check on the status of their train.Shortly after that, he built the iMetra app for Illinois commuters on Apple phones. Both smartphone apps are available for 99 cents.

Golden Heart Plaza clock programmer puts holiday sound in downtown

If you've enjoyed the Christmas music at Golden Heart Plaza in downtown Fairbanks during the past few weeks, you can thank John "Benny Benevento.The clock tower is supposed to play a random tune five minutes after every bell chime. But for much of its history it's been silent,X-431 Diagun a victim to Alaska engineering obstacles including an earthquake, interference from car auto starts and ice-clogged electrical conduits.The clock tower has been the project, and sometimes the nemesis, of Benevento, a retired electrical engineer, since the Fairbanks Rotary Club put it up in 1990. But as of this spring, Benevento's latest system has been successfully bringing music to downtown Fairbanks. During the year it plays a mixture of patriotic music, show tunes, jazz and old traditionals. Beginning in December, it switches to a holiday format.

Benevento, 78, wore a Christmas-colored hat with the words "bah humbug," as he stood in a snowbank and worked on the controls of the clock tower at Golden Heart Plaza on Tuesday morning.Benevento is contemptuous of a handful of clock tower-programmed songs including "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "The Little Drummer Boy." But far from being a Scrooge, he takes his responsibility of adding Christmas cheer to the downtown square seriously.He stood in the snow for more than an hour, blowing on his hands occasionally to keep them warm, as he manually programed the clock to play a Christmas song after every 15 minute bell chime from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.."It's got some Christmas music, but there should be more," he said." His favorites are the more-religious songs like "Hark the Harold Angels Sing" but he programs the clock to play a variety, including the ones he doesn't like.

Benevento grew up in an orphanage in Massachusetts and got his electrical engineering training by correspondence course aboard the USS Roanoke while serving in the U.S. Navy.

Local digest: Police ID body near Beltway

A bomb threat to the Swedish Embassy caused road closures Thursday that slowed evening-rush traffic to a crawl on parts of the Rock Creek Parkway, Whitehurst Freeway and other commuter routes.Brian Leary, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said someone called in a threat to the embassy at about 3:30 p.m. After law enforcement officers searched the embassy in the 2900 block of K Street NW for about three hours, the roads were reopened.Montgomery County police on Thursday identified the man whose body was found along the Capital Beltway as Honorio Nava-Paredes, 31, of the 1100 block of Massachusetts Avenue in Washington. An autopsy has been conducted, but doctors haven't ruled on the cause of death, police said. On Tuesday, authorities received a report of a body off the side of the inner loop of the Beltway, between Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road.

A house cleaner stole tens of thousands of dollars from an elderly client in Alexandria, police said Thursday.Tisa Dorsey, 29, of Greenbelt, Md., was arrested by Alexandria police on Dec. 11. Between May 2012 and August of this year, according to police and court documents, Dorsey stole more than 100 checks from her employer and cashed them for $87,415. Dorsey has been charged under a law dealing with financial exploitation of a mentally incapacitated person, which went into effect in July.An alleged MS-13 gang member charged in connection with two 2008 gang-related shootings in Northern Virginia appeared in federal court for the first time Thursday after government officials in El Salvador took the unusual step of extraditing one of their own citizens to face attempted murder and gun charges abroad.

Edgar Benitez Hernandez, 25, used a translator during the hearing in federal district court in Alexandria and said he understood that the charges against him carry a possible life sentence. Under an agreement with El Salvador, prosecutors intend to pursue four of the eight charges on which Hernandez was indicted — all connected to a Sept. 13, 2008, double shooting in Loudoun County.

William Hoover Swept Up Big Bucks With His Vacuum

Some see necessity as the mother of invention.Yet without proper production values and marketing techniques, an invention can go nowhere.Consider Howard Johnson, who didn't invent ice cream, but recognized its value, mass-produced it and made 28 flavors the cornerstone of his restaurant empire.Hoover plugged the country into James Spangler's invention.Hoover plugged the country into James Spangler's invention.Consider Richard Sears and Alvah Roebuck, who didn't invent the direct-market catalog, but built the largest catalog sales company in America.William Hoover, like Johnson, Sears and Roebuck, stands as an entrepreneurial giant.Hoover didn't invent the electric suction sweeper, but recognized its utility and used his production and marketing wits to transform it into a trusted and desirable product — the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner — as well as found the global Hoover Co.

"The idea for a new invention or enterprise doesn't have to always spring from the mind of the entrepreneur," Fordham University business professor Robert Hurley, an expert on innovation and marketing, told IBD. "But for entrepreneurs to be successful, there needs to be someone on the team —x431 GDS like William H. Hoover — who is able to notice big ideas and make sure they get executed fast and well."Ahead of Hoover's climb were the 1907 doings of an aspiring inventor named James Spangler, who cleaned floors for a living in a Canton, Ohio, department store.Spangler used a clumsy, heavy, inefficient carpet sweeper that kicked up dust. That worsened his asthma, so he had to act: Quit his job or figure out how to craft a dustless electric suction sweeper.

Rather than quit work, he developed the prototype for what would be the Hoover vacuum cleaner.Spangler patented his invention in 1908 and began selling it door-to-door in the Canton area.In "Entrepreneurs: The Men and Women Behind Famous Brand Names and How They Made It," authors Joseph and Suzy Fucini recounted how Hoover discovered the new contraption:"One of the first sales that Spangler made was to his cousin, Susan Hoover,China x431 solo OBD the wife of a prosperous Ohio saddle maker. ... When Susan's husband, William H. Hoover, saw her new sweeper, he was impressed. A former railroad president and the first elected mayor of New Berlin, Ohio, Hoover had a well-deserved reputation for being an astute businessman."

Beatrix's creative catchall in hotel setting

Coherence is overrated. That's the conclusion I draw from Beatrix, an agreeable hodgepodge of a restaurant that opened six months ago in River North and has been doing brisk business ever since.

Focus? Fuggedaboutit. This Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises concept features three chefs, serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch, and also features a coffee bar and grab-and-go pastry case.

Beatrix sits just off the lobby of the extremely hip Aloft Chicago City Center hotel and is essentially Lettuce Chairman Rich Melman's re-imagining of the hotel restaurant. Beatrix is dimly lit, energetic and hip; the concrete floors, wood beams and exposed mechanicals give the space an urban-loft vibe even though the construction is brand new. The no-frills look is belied by very comfortable seating (the heavy leather chairs are wonderful, though the fabric ones apparently stain too easily).

You could rename the menu "Stuff Rich likes to eat," and you wouldn't be far off. The back story is that every dish at Beatrix was developed in Lettuce's test kitchen but never made it onto a Lettuce Restaurant menu, a sort of culinary version of the "Island of Misfit Toys."

"These are recipes we all loved," says John Chiakulas, part of the three-headed chef hydra that runs Beatrix (Rita Dever and Susan Weaver are the other chefs), "but for whatever reason never made it into those stores."

OK, "Island of Misfit Toys" is too harsh. The menu may defy categorization, but the individual dishes are well conceived and, unlike the fabled misfit toys (a train with square wheels, a boat that can't float), tend to work.

The bottom of the menu bears the slogan "Taste over Trend," and that's not exactly right either. No insult intended to the taste half of the equation, but the menu is loaded with trendy influences, current and recent. Korean-spiced beef, check; hamachi crudo, check. There's raw kale with the burger, and braised kale with the turkey "neatloaf." Quinoa appears on the menu twice, and that's still trending well, at least until Foodie Nation goes freaky for freekeh. Which is also on the menu.

The urban look and the playful menu names mask the fact that Beatrix's menu plays things about as cautiously as you might expect a hotel dining room to do. There are salads, some pasta and meatloaf comfort-food items, a couple of fish, some braised dishes, a steak. Two things distinguish the collection: A good selection of lighter, health-conscious touches (which the menu doesn't even point out) and enough clever twists from the kitchen to keep the audience from nodding off.

Entrees are particularly attention-worthy. Branzino is topped with a golden-brown brioche crust that looks like a plank of wood but contributes crunch and buttery notes, and makes the sea bass taste a little like Dover sole. Salmon gets something of a south-of-the-border treatment, topped with a mole-like chocolate-chile glaze and served with corn tortillas and a light coleslaw flecked with smoked almonds.

Energy efficiency

Pine River-Backus Schools looks for energy efficiency in all projects we do. Here are some of the projects we’ve completed in recent years.

Heating: The entire district has been equipped with a building automation system that allows room-by-room or building-by-building control with a single computer program.

This system also allows automated shutoff of district exhaust fans after hours and alternating startup times so we can eliminate peak demand in electric usage and cut costs.

The district has burners on the boilers that allow the burner to modulate down to meet demand without large spikes and drops.

Lighting: The district recently replaced all T12 light fixtures with T8s, which are more efficient. Most classrooms are equipped with motion detectors for the lights. If rooms are left unoccupied for longer than the set period of time, the lights will automatically shut off.

All exit lights were upgraded from incandescent to fluorescent to LED in recent years. The exterior lights and parking lot lights are being converted to LED lights with longer life, higher efficiency and electrical energy savings.

Building additions: In starting new building projects, like the recent early childhood addition, athletic addition and bus garage, the district tries to install energy efficient systems wherever possible.

The new additions are equipped with variable speed/high efficiency control motors on exhaust fans and water supply systems, T8 lighting with motion detectors and energy efficient windows. The additions have also been connected to the district’s building automation system. The bus garage was built with three stalls all equipped with in-floor heat and individual thermostats, allowing regulation of all depending on need.

Cost savings and rebates: We are able to offset the costs of these projects by applying for rebates through Minnesota Power and Xcel Energy. The district has also been awarded grants through the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Minnesota Power.

Over the last five to 10 years this has amounted to more than $55,000 in rebates and grants.

All of these projects are allowing the district to be more energy efficient. Cost savings from any one project are hard to calculate. For every project that saves on energy usage, another project is completed that adds to energy usage — new computer labs, Smart Boards in all classrooms, etc.

While true for some



In today's tech-heavy world, it might seem a given that owners would want their home loaded with the latest in gadgetry but, while true for some, technology is not one of the highest trending options, home builders say.While the front-end price of a custom home has remained steady $300,000 to $500,000 owners are seeking ways to trim the fat on their power bill to save money. One step toward that goal is spray foam insulation, builders say. Despite a cost that's double that of traditional fiberglass, about 90 percent of his clients are choosing more energy-efficient foam, says Dexter White, owner of Dexter W. White Construction on Broad Street"It'll pay itself off in five to seven years," he says. "It has a lot of upfront benefits, like making the house very quiet. They see some instant gratification from it other than just in the power bill."Other features that save on utility costs include tankless water heaters and relocating heating and cooling units indoors, where they don't have to strain against external temperature fluctuations and aren't subject to as much wear and tear.Of course, these by-order features come with a higher cost, sometimes significantly higher than prefabricated and planned community homes.

 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average single-family home in America in 2012 was 2,505 square feet and cost $270,500. To owners who go the custom route, however, the price tag is worth it if they get what they want, Groves says."If people are building a custom home, it may be their last home," she says. "People are saying, 'I want a nice home, and I'm going to stay there until I have to go to a nursing home.'"For years, custom home owners have invested in showcase kitchens, and the newest homes continue that trend, although they've incorporated a bit of a throwback. After going out of style over the last decade, white cabinets are now requested by owners who want to brighten their kitchens. White cabinetry often is fitted with glass panes and craftsman-style white trim, says Tina Frizzell, vice president of Pratt Home Builders on Hamm Road.Some longtime loves remain popular. Hardwood floors are still in vogue, as are granite kitchen countertops, which many owners want to see in other parts of the home as well."Not just the kitchen in the laundry room and the bathroom," Frizzell says. "They're putting granite in every single room now."

Shear spent seven weeks in the hospital




  This was the first Holden to be made in Australia, a 1947 prototype for what is now referred to as the FX or ''Humpy Holden''. The vendor, Peter Briggs, was looking for a cool million, but in the end, auctioneer James Nicholls accepted a bid of $662,000 (IBP), which he believes is a world record for a Holden at auction.Briggs must have been reasonably happy with the result, as he picked up the Holden from a used-car yard in 1980.Harold Larwood's MCC sweater failed to find a buyer.Harold Larwood's MCC sweater failed to find a buyer.The National Museum might have been interested in it if it didn't already have something similar in its collection. Theirs is one of three even earlier prototypes built for testing in the United States.On October 27, Leonard Joel included a collection of thoroughbred-racing memorabilia in its classic furniture, objects and collectables sale. The feature was a set of faded purple, black and yellow silks believed to have been worn by Jack Purtell to win the 1954 Melbourne Cup on Rising Fast. That spring, Rising Fast won the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate Grand Slam, the only horse to do so.
 
   The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an icon, so any letters posted on the bridge on opening day - bearing the official postmark dated March 19, 1932 - are also desirable. Three envelopes carrying Harbour Bridge stamps sold for $7572 at the Phoenix Auctions sale on October 26. This was more than double the estimate of $3500.It might be a stretch to describe Geraldine Gee as an icon but she, her brother Gerry Gee, and their human partner Ron Blaskett were stars of early Melbourne TV and have since achieved a cult following.Then he heard the yelling, as someone screamed there was a horse loose on the grounds. Shear, who was 90 at the time, raced to clear the crowd away as the horse charged toward them, and at the last possible second, he noticed the girl. Shear threw himself between the horse and the 5-year-old as both of them took the impact of the collision. "I thought there was a possibility I was going to die, but you cannot stop and think should I or shouldn't I," Shear told ESPN's E:60. "There is a 5-year-old girl. I'm 90. I have had a life. She hasn't had a life. You got to safe that life.

Sometimes Corrigan sells her pieces to people



Soon she added snowmen and other Christmas-themed objects to her repertoire.Sometimes Corrigan sells her pieces to people who ask for them. She has also participated in art shows. But her primary purpose in carving is the sheer joy of it."It was supposed to be fun, and it is," she said.Corrigan creates her pieces out of basswood, a straight-grained, medium-density wood."It's relatively easy to carve, although you can find a hard piece once in a while," she said.The High-Country Carvers primarily use hand tools in their work. The touchably soft edges to Corrigan's pieces are nearly all achieved through careful whittling."I very seldom ever touch any sandpaper to anything," she said. "It's all with knives and gouges."Gouges sound potentially dangerous, but Corrigan is quick to assure would-be carvers that whittling is actually safer than it looks.It's amazing how very few cuts we get," she said. "We wear safety gloves and have a thumb guard on usually. A few don't, but 95 percent of us do use safety gear."The group is always searching for new carvers to join them. High-Country Carvers' membership has dwindled over the years.

At one time, anywhere from 15 to 20 carvers met regularly to enjoy their hobby and share tips and stories, Corrigan said. But over the years, the group's average age has risen. Some members have died.The group has about six to eight regular members now, Corrigan said. Three of them are women.Anyone, of any age and ability, is welcome to join the carvers at their weekly meetings, she said. Group members are always willing to offer tips and help novices get started.Police are searching for a white male who robbed a Lake Sunapee Bank branch at gunpoint shortly before noon on Wednesday.Lebanon police officers arrived at the Hanover Street bank just seconds after the robber took off on foot toward the Lebanon Towers senior housing community with an undisclosed amount of money.Surveillance video released by police shows a man wearing a black mask and carrying a black bag entering the bank. Police said the man stepped up to a teller's window, demanded money and brandished a handgun. He then stuffed the cash into the bag and left the bank, according to police."I saw a masked man come out of the bank and pull the mask off and run away," an eyewitness said minutes after the robbery.

Eggleston said hiring a community development


Township manager Ryan Eggleston presented the draft budget in detail at a public hearing Nov. 13. It is a balanced budget with revenues and expenditures standing at $9.096 million. The proposed millage rate of 3.48 will also remain the same. Commissioners voted to authorize the advertisement for the adoption of the budget at its December voting meeting.Eggleston is not including a separate garbage fee in the budget for the coming year.The proposed budget includes a few changes for 2014, including the addition of a public works superintendent. Eggleston said the township currently employs a public works director and two foremen. He is proposing that one of the foremen's titles be changed to superintendent and that one will remain a foreman.A part-time community development director is also included in the figures, with a proposed salary of $19,000 per year. Eggleston said hiring a community development director would be a "smart move" for the township as South Fayette "tries to increase the things we're doing from a development standpoint."

An additional $5,000 is proposed for community development expenses.A $640,000 capital budget was also presented at the meeting. Eggleston said when the budget process began, he went to each department head and asked them for "reasonable requests." He said the original request from all of the departments combined was nearly $2 million.In recent years, the awards media has caught on to the relationship between the categories of Best Film Editing and Best Picture. Even films like "Argo" and "Crash," which did not win the Best Director Oscar, picked up the trophy for Best Film Editing. Every year, the vast majority of nominees in this category are also cited in the top category.The didn't used to be the case. Long gone, it seems, are the days when films like "Speed" or "Se7en" or "Air Force One" could consistently make an appearance, though we do get a "Blood Diamond" or "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" surprise every now and then these days. With that in mind, it tends to be a fairly predictable "type of film" that manages to score here in the absence of a Best Picture nomination. Most obviously, films that have a significant amount of action and suspense tend to do quite well.

Clemson scored on the next two drives



 Tahj Boyd converted on a 3rd-and-18 on the drive, and a 4-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams seemingly put Georgia Tech away at 20-0. The Jackets, however, would fight back in short order.David Sims found the end zone on the next drive, capping an 82-yard response, and despite a 76-yard bomb from Tahj Boyd to Martavis Bryant, Tech still cut the lead a bit as a result of a field goal to end the half. At 27-10, most people likely believed that Tech was out of striking distance, but Robert Godhigh had some other plans.Godhigh had a monster 2nd half for Tech, scoring 2 touchdowns, but the play of the day was his 65-yard touchdown run that began the 2nd half scoring. At that point, the Jackets were the closest that they would be for the remainder of the night, and for a brief moment, all of the momentum in Memorial Stadium was on the visiting sideline. Almost on cue, however, Clemson scored on the next two drives, making the remainder of the night virtually inconsequential.The aforementioned Godhigh was the brightest spot  for Georgia Tech on Thursday night.

 The senior running back led the team in both rushing and receiving, and the fact that he cracked triple-digits in both categories is a bit mind-boggling in a blowout defeat. It would be tough to not be excited for a guy with as much invested in the program as Godhigh, and despite the loss, it was fun to see what he unleashed on Clemson.Defensively, this was a blood bath at times. Clemson accumulated 547 total yards of offense, but it was the quick strikes that seemed to do the Tech defense in for the most part, and it was almost fitting to see Clemson QB Tahj Boyd set the all-time ACC record for career passing touchdowns in this game. In fairness, this Clemson offense is probably a top-5 unit in the country on that side of the ball, but the different in explosiveness was a reminder of how far these two teams are from each other in the "upside" department.In all truth, the offense performed reasonably well, especially if we ignore the 1st quarter struggles.

which is increasingly working to ensure


 There is set to be strong demand from the government sector, which is increasingly working to ensure that at least a proportion of large project financing is structured in compliance with Shariah law.The Euromoney Qatar 2013 Conference, which will be held under the patronage of Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Prime Minister, Qatar, will provide a major platform for discussion for the direction of the Islamic financial sector, and the models for cooperation and competition that will help sustain it.Co-hosted by Qatar Central Bank, the conference will see a major presentation on "Islamic Markets and Economic Growth", presented by Dr Khaled Al Fakih, secretary general and CEO of The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).Qatar has one of the fastest-growing Islamic banking sectors in the world, driven by the demand for local credit to finance government infrastructure and investment projects.This in turn is having an impact on the assets of Qatar's Islamic banks, increasing their share of the country's banking system.

The investigators also found his links to network of hired killers and drug traffickers which included John Felix Cordero (Copelin), and Edgar Rijo (Maestrico), whose bodies were found two weeks ago in a farm at San Cristobal (south).Mateo said in Liriano was dishonorably discharged and will be arraigned at the San Cristobal Courthouse today.Meanwhile National Police Criminal Investigations Deputy director Jacinto Javier Minaya said a report shows that from 199 to1998, Liriano was accused of using a fake Massachusetts license plate, aggravated robbery, domestic violence against his wife and illegal possession of weapons.He said Liriano formed part of the criminal network headed by Salomón Eusebio Rosario (Piki), a known drug trafficker from the eastern region and the right arm of Winston Rizik (El Gallero), wanted for the murder of at least 15 people. "The Police managed to dismantle this powerful structure and apprehended 13 of its gunmen and/or helpers in different tasks." "I thought we played a good first period. I thought we were fortunate to score four goals," said Jets head coach Claude Noel.

How we got them out to fields



In 1978 I was not long out of university, trying to become a writer, scraping a living on the edge of Exmoor as a milk recorder and in odd farming jobs. Out of nowhere, the producer of Emmerdale Farm contacted me. He had seen a play I'd written. I hoped he wanted me to write for Emmerdale. He offered me a job as the programme's script editor.I moved from Exmoor to the Burley Road, but the world in my head wasn't so far from North Devon. Emmerdale had farming at its heart. I learned to love the countryside north of Leeds. It wasn't the Dales but within a short distance of one of England's great cities were rural communities and landscapes of beauty and character. For a while I stayed in Headingley, but eventually I moved out to live by the Nidd, just north of Harrogate.Fifty percent of the show was shot on location, using pantechnicon-sized mobile studios meant for the likes of race meetings.

How we got them out to fields and forests and moorland was a triumph of ingenuity over sense. It was rare for soap operas to shoot outside.Even Coronation Street had no 'real' street. But somehow Emmerdale managed not only to do it, but do it in the middle of nowhere. Even the farm at Leathley was a working farm.Part of the style of the programme's creator, Kevin Laffan, was butting broad comedy against drama. There was nothing else like the eccentricity of Ronnie Magill's Amos. It was as much a part of the show's distinctiveness as its rural storylines and location work.I worked at YTV for ten years, always maintaining a connection with Emmerdale. I became a regular writer. In my last two years I was the producer, and a gatekeeper between old and new. With the next producer 'Farm' went. The programme pushed into a future where the farming faded, not entirely, but it would never again be at its heart.The cast would grow ever bigger and so would the programme's success. With change went some of Emmerdale's uniqueness.

When we talk and communicate


The Pelicans recorded 30 assists, led by Holiday with eight and Evans with seven."We were doing a great job of talking," Davis said. "When we talk and communicate with each other we are a tough team to beat."The Bobcats were 30 of 80 from the field and were outrebounded 43-41.New Orleans led 56-41 at halftime, and with a frontcourt led by Davis effectively closing off the middle the Bobcats never seriously threatened. The Bobcats trailed 77-62 at the end of three quarters but could come no closer than 14 points in the fourth quarter. A jumper by Gerald Henderson cut the Pelicans' lead to 83-69 but Roberts answered with a four-point play to give New Orleans an 87-69 lead with 8:12 left."It was bad," Henderson said. "We didn't come out with the focus we needed. We made a lot of mistakes, especially at the start of the game."Playing at home for the second time in three games, the Pelicans made their first three shots and scored on their first eight possessions, including one sequence in which they grabbed two offensive rebounds and took a 15-4 lead with 7:19 remaining in the first half.

The Pelicans led 33-15 after the first quarter, nearly equaling their 36-point first-half output against the Magic. New Orleans shot 50 percent from the field and held Charlotte to 6-of-20 shooting.Evans' layup with 11:12 left in the second quarter gave the Pelicans a 37-15 lead, their largest of the half. Charlotte got within 56-41."At halftime I thought we had a chance," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. "I thought we would hang in there and respond.

which was easy for him to find prototype



    Because of his serious illness, he was unable to draw large pictures. And then he turned to paint still life, which was easy for him to find prototype. His interest in painting flowers produced during learning at the museum, but he went to the museum aiming to explore the ancient painters' secrets.During his travel to wife's hometown-Holland, he studied very delicate works representing flowers, fruits and precious tableware made by Flemish painters. These things were put in a white tablecloth or carpet, reminding people of the feast and dishes related to the western churches. As defined by the tradition, still life was never reduced to simply imitate the real things, and always implied the philosophy or religion. A lot of Holland paintings appeared fully mature flowers and fruits which collapsed under the accumulated materials and pigments and stood side b side with other withered flowers or fruits swollen by worms. The transient beauty can be only kept long through the artist's brush to remind people of the death situation.
   
    In 1864, Manet had abundant reference materials and worked a series of peony paintings. Peony was his beloved flower, but difficult to draw, because it died out early, as petals quickly fell as rain. The painter drew the first painting where he put flowers in different mature stages in a vase to perform the life cycle of peony from flower bud to petals. He also did a small painting which only two peonies placed beside the pruning shear in the same theme, which allowed people to feel the cut flowers were sure for death. The dark background chosen by the painter made the delicacy of white outline hazy and pink petals foil.The painting was made with a brush dipped in paint with more concentrated pigment and texture. The green leaves around the flowers enriched the auxiliary color points, fixing the theme of flowers on the upper left corner of the painting. These flowers in plenty of strokes were what the painter devoted to the writer and art critic Champfleury who was naturalism pioneer, one of his friends, and a close friend of Courbet, to express his respect for the conducive struggle for modern painting. Its been a long week, but you cant complain. In a matter of minutes the Iconic tower will soon be in sight.

  Khemka, who has not been served the charge sheet yet (it is being legally vetted), reacted to the development on his hugely popular twitter account. "Media reports Haryana CM chargesheeting me for action on Robert Vadra - DLF deal. Do not know what was my duty otherwise," he tweeted. Another tweet quoted Edmund Burke's "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Within minutes, both tweets were re-tweeted more than a hundred times.Official sources associated with the process of determining action against Mr. Khemka told The Hindu that exercise of power became a misdemeanour when it was coloured."Exceeded jurisdiction"Holding that Mr. Khemka exceeded his jurisdiction in cancelling Mr. Vadra's land deal mutation, the sources said a close scrutiny of his orders and the rules and laws in force showed that Mr. Khemka's exercise of his powers fell under the ambit of administrative misconduct that would attract major penalties.
 
  The penalties he could face if he is found guilty are reduction to a lower stage in the time scale of pay for a specific period; demotion to a lower grade or post, which is also a bar on promotion; and compulsory retirement and removal from service, which will not be a disqualification for future employment, the sources said.
Mr. Khemka was transferred from the post of Director-General, Consolidation and Holdings, and Inspector-General, Registration, on October 11, after he initiated inquiries into the Robert Vadra-DLF land deal. The very next day, he cancelled the Shikohpur land mutation of 3.5 acres and ordered an inquiry into an alleged undervaluation of property owned by Mr. Vadra and his companies in Gurgaon, Palwal, Faridabad and Mewat. A committee the Haryana government set up to probe these orders concluded that they were "inappropriate and without jurisdiction."Mr. Khemka was not invited to present his defence before the committee, but was later asked to give his comments on the report.

It was tough running tonight



Those guys came out and played great you need to give those guys all the credit, they did a heck of a job out there.On his touchdown pass: It was a halfback pass and we were able to catch them in the right defense and get it off. I feel like I have a pretty good arm and can do something with it, but like I said we caught them in the right defense so I was able to get the pass off.On his rushing touchdown: Yes I was looking to throw, but I made the decision to keep the ball because the tight end was covered.On the Raiders slow start: It was slow starting for us, but once we settled down we were able to get a few drives going, but early on we weren't able to get pass third down.On QB Terrelle Pryor: With him [Terrelle Pryor] out there running the defense has a to respect him, but we just couldn't get it going tonight and we're going to keep working and try to get better.On chemistry with QB Terrelle Pryor: I think the chemistry with Terrelle is developing. We are just transferring what we are doing in practice to the game.


On the 73-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter: It was just Terrelle sitting in the pocket and nobody was getting open. I saw the safety coming in a little bit out of the corner of my eye, so I broke off my route and turned it up the field. It gave us some confidence that we were still able to move the ball, even with times like that, and coming back play after play and believing in ourselves.On Pryor's demeanor in the huddle: The big stage doesn't bother him at all. It's like he has been a starting quarterback for five years now.On offense's slow start: It was tough trying to figure out what they were doing on defense. We came in at halftime and figured out what they were doing and came back out in the second half and did better.On coming back to Colorado: It would have been better with a win, but it's always good to be back in Colorado.On his family and friends: A lot of family and a bunch of friends, it was actually nice though, a lot of people I know already had season tickets to the Broncos so I didn't need to get tickets.

The old field currently produces



Agrium produces 1,500 tonnes a day of pure CO2, and that will be the first gas to be used in the new line. North West will produce about 3,500 tonnes a day.Together, the two plants will send about 1.8 million tonnes per year into a pipeline that is designed to handle up to 15 million tonnes per year.There is plenty of space for more industries to add waste gas, which was the plan when the Alberta government agreed to spend $495 million over 10 years to support the ACTL. The estimated budget is $1.2 billion for capital and operating costs over that period. Ottawa has also kicked in $63 million."We will have two compressors linked to the refinery, one on-site to bring up the pressure from probably two (pounds per square inch) to 200. Then we have a second compressor off the site to bring that up to 2,000 psi, which is the pipeline pressure," said Cole.The 240-kilometre long pipeline to the Lacombe area in central Alberta can be constructed in one season.

There the compressed gas will be forced underground into a depleted oilfield at Clive, stimulating new production through enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.Last week, Enhance spent $15 million to purchase the field from Santonia Energy. The old field currently produces just 470 barrels of oil and gas per day, but using CO2 will bump that to about 10,000 bpd in the initial phase of the project."We can't disclose details, but the rule of thumb for EOR is one tonne of CO2 will produce two barrels," she said.The Clive field has been producing light oil since the 1950s. It could produce 25 million barrels more over the next 20 years with EOR.Enhance plans to use 20 CO2 injector wells and 80 producing wells to recover the oil in what Cole says is a cost-effective operation."We have no exploration costs and the infrastructure is all in place. Plus we know this is an excellent reservoir geologically for our EOR purposes," she added.Years from now, when the carbon pipeline is near capacity as other firms opt to "green" their products by separating and shipping out their CO2, Enhance could be producing up to 80,000 bpd of high quality, light oil.

The blood substitute keeps the cells alive



The modified 3D printers, developed at Wake Forest, print human cells in hydrogel-based scaffolds.The lab-engineered organs are then placed on a 2in (5cm) chip and linked together with a circulating blood substitute, similar to the type used in trauma surgery.The blood substitute keeps the cells alive and can be used to introduce chemical or biologic agents, as well as potential therapies, into the system.Sensors which measure real-time temperature, oxygen levels, pH and other factors feed back information on how the organs react and crucially how they interact with each other.Dr Anthony Atala, institute director at Wake Forest and lead investigator on the project, said the technology would be used both to "predict the effects of chemical and biologic agents and to test the effectiveness of potential treatments". A group of experts from around the US is involved in putting together the technology, which will carry out toxicity testing and identification.The funding for the project was awarded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a division of the US government which combats nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

The tests being carried out at Wake Forest "would significantly decrease the time and cost needed to develop medical countermeasures" for bioterrorism attacks, said Dr Clint Florence, acting branch chief of vaccines within the Translational Medical Division at DTRA.Wake Forest said it was able to test for antidotes to sarin gas, recently used against civilians in Syria.Dr Atala, whose field is regenerative medicine, said the bioprinting technology was first used at Wake Forest for building tissues and organs for replacement in patients.His team had managed to replicate flat organs, such as skin, tubular organs such as blood vessels, and even hollow non-tubular organs like the bladder and the stomach, which have more complex structures and functions.But building solid organs like the heart and the liver is the hardest challenge yet. The jet reached an altitude of 20,400 feet and an airspeed of about 288 miles per hour during today's flight, which tested the aircraft's systems and structures. Boeing said the jetliner's onboard equipment transmitted real-time data to the company's flight-test team in Seattle.

As Investments Are Recorded on The Balance Sheet


  The balance sheet financial statement lists assets, liabilities and equity. These items must show a zero net balance should be considered "balanced." This means that each of the assets in the accounts must be appropriate to record a liability or equity account. Since the increase in asset accounts debit, which means that either liability or equity accounts must be included when the new assets are purchased. In addition, when assets are sold or gotten rid of in some way, it would be possible to credit the account of assets to reduce it. There should be a debit to the liability or equity account balance is. This accounted for the balance.Another option is the disposal of the property that the property is sold for cash, the property is a wash. A simple example of balance sheet accounts is that the car is sold, and therefore reduces the expense of automobile credit. However, the money received was another index of growth in money. Therefore, cash accounts are debited and the total assets remain unchanged.
 
   This happens quite often with short-term investments, which are rarely seen or identified. Sometimes it helps to wrap your mind about the balance of account to look at it from the stand point of liability or equity accounts. Say you paid the liability or equity is purchased. It would be a debit to either of these accounts. There had to be the cost of the assets of any of these things happen, and probably cost in cash. This property is a credit account and balance sheet is balanced. While it is easy to view, it gets the point across. Since the investment is treated as an asset, they are treated the same way. The investments are in the shortest time, or the most liquid, to a maximum time limit, or at least liquid. They are also listed in the percentage of ownership. For example, if an investor in its fifty per cent of the business, that business is listed in terms of assets, and its denotation is said that fifty percent or fifty percent owned, or any other version of the same. This is because there is no full disclosure of financial statement users.

Digital Sheet Music Collections



Often times when someone is looking for a single copy of one or more songs, brick and mortar stores only have that particular song in a compilation book with other songs that the customer doesn't want or need. As a result, people on a tight budget might not have the ability to buy what they want, or else they are left with a large, expensive collection of music they are never going to play. Even single sheets of paper can be rather expensive in a physical store. However, buying digital sheet music online helps alleviate these issues. Users are able to download specific titles, scores, and arrangements directly to their computer. From there, they are able to either just read the file off of their computer screen, or print the information at home. Either way, music downloads provide a single, low cost alternative to expensive paper. More Options  Local music stores typically have a small selection of sheet music.

It may prove difficult to obtain it from the local store, simply due to the limited amount of space the facility has on hand. In addition, the correct score for the instrument in question is required. The piano piece for a song is going to be completely different from what the violin or guitar score is. Even if the correct song is found at the music store, the right instrument might not be available. With digital options, it is possible to download not only the correct music, but for the correct instrument.  More Space  When an individual downloads sheet music from an Internet site such as Sonifly.com, they pay a small fee and the file downloads instantly. As the file size is rather small, it only takes a few moments for the file to download to the computer. Internet sites such as this have a rather large library, far more than what an in house music store has, which is why digital is such a valuable option.

No longer is it necessary to spend time driving to a local store to see if it has the desired music. There are times a musician might have the desire to play a song at the spur of a moment. Unless it is available online, the person might never actually obtain the needed information.  More Copies  Once the digital sheet music has been downloaded, the individual is able to print the information. There is no limit to the amount of songs or the number of times the user prints and creates, depending on the file type, which makes it perfect for a musical teacher or a school instructor. This way, they pay a single fee and are able to reproduce it as many times as they desire. It also gives them the option of enlarging the notes or making it look smaller to fit on a stand. Sheet music often is rather difficult to see. But with the ability to enlarge, anyone is able to correctly see the music.

Various Considerations in Sheet Metal Fabrication Works




  Sheet metal fabrication is considered a booming industry in Brisbane where such techniques are used in many structures in the city offices, buildings and houses. There are many benefits to using sheet metal fabrication to any premise or structure; hence, more sheet metal fabrication manufacturers sprout in the market although not all of them are skilled nor knowledgeable with the necessary experience in this arena.Choice of company It is then very important to choose the best sheet metal fabrication company for any metal structures required in a home or office. Such companies must be well qualified with the proper trainings and experience to offer the right advice, product and installation to the customers with different requirements. Good and experienced sheet metal fabrication companies must have the skilled resources to generate the best steel structure designs that would be attractive and suitable to the specific customer. A home steel design would differ from an office steel design which again would differ from an open space requirement. Consumers must have their own designs in mind to request the best sheet metal fabrication works; otherwise, experienced and creative sheet metal fabrication firms must assist in recommending the best designs for their customers by understanding the customers' needs and requirements of such steel metal fabrication.
 
   Good sheet metal fabrication companies must have the right resources using the latest technology in generating the best selection of sheet metal fabrication designs for their clients. These resources include the latest computer systems with 3D design software to generate various steel structure models. Scope of work It is important to confirm the scope of work that any hired sheet metal fabricator company would offer based on the cost and project requirement. Without a proper overview of the project requirement, the inappropriate material might be used or the wrong design might be chosen which cannot withstand the actual workload. With the myriad of designs on sheet metal fabrication, it is possible to create something that is not totally useful to the space in mind. There are many factors of consideration in sheet metal fabrication. Some sheet metal fabrication firms may only offer the design options without actually manufacturing the preferred designs while others may take on the manufacturing of the designs without the installation works.

Shareholders want to see these statements



he last thing you need is for the item to turn up late and to a lesser standard than you need. In the long run this ends up costing more. The number of times this has happened is extremely high and can be avoided by going local.Sheet metal manufacturing is a highly skilled enterprise, which is why you want to find a company that has been doing it for a number of years. You want to be sure that they have a diverse skill set that they can bring to the job and you need to know that they have all the systems in place to ensure that delivery happens when you need it.As with offshore, often there are cheaper companies that pop up every so often, offering lower prices. The reality though is that these fly by nighters will not last because their quality is low and their output is slow. Go with a reliable and well known company, a company with years on the clock.For any business an income statement and a balance sheet are a must for multiple purposes.

 These statements show all the interested parties how the business has performed over a period of time. Shareholders want to see these statements because they want to know how much dividend they stand to earn. Creditors want to see these statements because they want to be sure that the money that they have lent has gone to a proper enterprise. Investors want to see these statements because they want to ensure that they are going to get good returns on their investments.The other name for the income statement is Profit

A career in this field is attractive


 Some institutions in Sydney offer free training and apprenticeship. More and more women are entering this field today and exploring the available career options. A career in this field is attractive for those who are creative, like to work with their hands and have good team-player skills.Apprentices are also exposed to job opportunities in the industry and areas where sheet metal is used in manufacturing. One area that's emerging as a great career choice in sheet metal work is architecture. Trained sheet metal workers are in demand in areas like cladding, roofs, louvers/windows/ventilators, decorative and ornamental finishing work and they can finally go on to become project managers, estimators or independent contractors.If you need something made, you want it made well. You want to know that it will be done right first time, you want to be sure that it will be built to specifications and will perform the required job. There is nothing worse than waiting on an item only to find that it doesn't live up to expectations.

 Often this can set an entire job or project back as the delays cascade all the way through. Before you know it, there is a significant extra cost attached and you have to wear it. That is why you need to find a quality sheet metal manufacturer, someone who you can trust to do the job well and supply you with exactly what you need.There are some fantastic ones operating in Australia still, so get on the internet and search for them. It makes sense to get it done locally as then you can chat face to face about the project and you can ensure that you will get the quality you require. You can also inspect production as it happens, meaning that you will be able to guarantee delivery dates and other important metrics. You might save a couple of dollars going offshore, but you will pay for it in the end, of that you can be sure. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.Many people are tempted by offshore production but there are a number of horror stories out there.

Latest Technologies Being Used in Metal Fabrication Today



  Not so long ago, all metal fabrication was done by hand. It was really a tough job and consumed a lot of time of the artisans. Metal fabrication has evolved during the past few years and has evolved into a very hi-tech industry. Today, latest technology is being used by welding services for metal fabrication. Hi-tech equipments are used for creating an astonishing range of products that are tailor made to suit different requirements of the consumers. The technology that is used in metal fabrication has improved so much that the fabrication companies are offering superior quality products to their customers. The use of technology has made possible production of quality wise superior products in least possible time, thereby significantly increasing the productivity of the fabricating companies. A number of innovations and improvisations have changed the face of metal fabrication. Today, computers are being used at different stages of fabrication process.
 
  To begin with, they are used in designing because of their quickness and precision. Using computers ensures accurate designs for the product in lesser time. All the welding and fabrication services hire trained and experienced personnel for this purpose. These designers are well versed in using different other software that are helpful in good designing. Most welding fabricators use machines that are of the highest quality. This is done in order to ensure precision along with speed. Machines having metal components of inferior quality cannot be used as they do not give precision at variable speeds. Laser technology is also being used by the leading welding fabricators today. This helps them in providing their customers with products that conform to the highest standards of quality and precision. Laser is the best method for getting precision cutting of all types of metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. The use of lasers also enables the welding fabricator in doing work of varying complexity. With the help of lasers, these complex tasks can be done very quickly without compromising even a bit with the quality of the product. This also helps them in handling multiple orders and increases the productivity of these metal fabricators, resulting in higher turnover for them. Another great ground breaking technology being used today in the field of metal fabrication is the use of plasma for cutting a variety of metal alloys. This technology works on the principle of air undergoing ionic changes when it is heated to very high temperatures to reach the state of plasma.

Construction And Usage of Bacteriological



  If we discuss generally about incubators, incubators are devices that are used to cultivate and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. Temperature and humidity conditions inside the incubators are retained and controlled, and besides these conditions, other factors such as carbon dioxide and oxygen content of the atmosphere are also synchronized. Incubators are fundamental for a lot of experimental work in biology cell, molecular biology and microbiology and are also used to culture bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Incubators are used in poultry industry, as a substitute for hens which results in a higher hatch rate. Moreover, incubators are used for keeping pre-mature babies as the environment in which we live is not suitable for them, so the temperature conditions should be similar to that of the mother of the womb. Laboratory incubators are used by the doctors to determine bacterial infection in human body. Apart from these, lab incubators are even used for tissue culture and tissue culture is basically considered as the growth of tissues or cells which are separated from the organism.
 
   The sample is placed inside the incubator and the temperature is regulated and maintained as per the requirements of the sample. By monitoring the fragmentation of tissues, scientists determine the operation of cells. Laboratory incubators are usually made of three things. These consists of thick stainless steel sheet of SS-304 grade, insulation materials like fans, motors, nuts, and glass wool that ensures the highest thermal energy.Bacteriological incubators are double walled convection heated units, generally have a long life and are low on maintenance. These equipments are energy efficient and are versatile when it comes to their usage. Indirect heating is even provided in these units, which comprises of air heaters that are made of high grade kanthal wire A-1 wires of suitable wattage. The warm air is equally disseminated throughout the chamber with the help of motor fans that ensures very good temperature sensitivity. If we discuss about B.O.D incubators, these types of incubators are extensively used for day to day bacteriological and bio- chemical oxygen demand determination tests which is used in various laboratory applications.

How to Make a Custom Tattoo Design Stencil


  Unlike before, when not many people had tattoos, today, tattoos serve as a fashion statement for the younger generation. Tattoos have become part of a lifestyle, in which some people like to show what they call their eccentricity to the world, which is why custom tattoo design has become the vogue. Custom tattoo designs are very much different from traditional designs with their uniqueness and significance to the owner. All the tattoo fanatics, tattoo hobbyists as well as neophytes, in the tattoo art world have images in their minds suitable for tattoo designs. Sometimes these ideas overlap, so, using this overlap, a really original design can be realized. Before you decide to have your drawing inked on your skin, you should make a custom tattoo design stencil. Tattoo stencils are the ones placed onto your skin as a guide for applying tattoos. So, it serves as a preview of the actual tattoo. Not only tattoo artists can make tattoo design stencils; you could also make your own. All you need is to be creative.
 
   What is so good about this is you have the liberty to create the image that you want. Before you start sketching, you should decide on the theme of your image and choose something that has meaning in your life. Remember, tattoos last your whole lifetime, and you do not want to have something that would remind you of a bad decision. Here are some simple guidelines to follow about how to make a custom design stencil. 1. Draw. Draw your desired tattoo design on a blank sheet of white paper. If you have no idea about style and theme, you can search online and check out various designs. Use a regular pencil to do your drawing, so you can erase any mistakes. 2. Scaling. A tattoo design is not simply drawing lines; you should understand each intricate detail of your design. Take your time to carefully construct every line and detail. Creating balance in your design is important. 3. Transferring. You need carbon paper and stencil paper and some pencils or markers of different sizes. Place your drawing on top of the carbon paper; it should be ink side down on the stencil paper. Then, carefully trace over the pencil lines with a marker, putting pressure so as not to miss any line or detail.

Energy Saving Tips Insulation


  There are plenty of ways that you can save energy around your home, and it's important that you do. First and foremost this is of course important for the environment, and simply by turning your light off a bit sooner when you don't need it you will be able to help save the planet. Each time you use any energy in your home you see it comes from a power plant somewhere in the area and this means that fossil fuels are burned. These fossil fuels are made from ancient carbon that still contains energy and this means that it will release carbon emissions when burned. Those carbon emissions then increase the thickness of the atmosphere and in turn this then locks the heat from the sun in so that it can get in to warm up the planet but not get out again afterwards. It's very important that this doesn't happen because as the overall temperature of the planet increases it is melting our icecaps, submerging land underwater, causing unpredictable weather and killing many species of wildlife. Eventually the planet will become uninhabitable if we continue.
 
  The other reason it's so important to save energy is of course for your own energy bill, and if you don't want to pay through the nose come the end of the year then you need to make sure that you aren't wasting energy unnecessarily - you can probably stand to save hundreds if you are smart as a household. So how do you do this? Well there are many ways, and not all of them mean living without energy like you were back in the stone age. One simple change you can make for instance is to simply insulate your home better and this will then help you to avoid cold and damp from setting in and thereby reduce the amount of heating you need to use. The first way to do this is simply by getting insulation in your building. This means getting insulation bats in your loft for instance and it means getting insulation in your wall cavities. By doing these things you can trap more warm air into your home and so use less heating. Likewise you also need to make sure that your windows and doors are sealed and trapping in as much heat as possible. Most important of all is to use double glazing which is basically any window that is made from two sheet of glass with an empty space in between for air. T

Tightening Treatments Following Weight Loss



   Sometimes people pay too much attention to losing weight that they would give everything to get rid of the excess fat in their bodies without thinking about the possible consequences. Those who have gone through rapid weight loss, for example, can attest that their work hasn't ended with gaining a very slim and trim physique. They also have to deal with loose and sagging skin since this is a very natural after-effect of rapid weight loss.  The obvious choice is to just go to a plastic surgeon and go through surgical skin tightening procedures, but unfortunately, not everyone has the funds or the courage to go under the knife. At this point in time, majority will surely prefer to try non-surgical methods first before spending a fortune to let plastic surgeons cut them open.  Let us be clear though that when we say non-surgical, we mean non-invasive. The following treatments are still classified under plastic surgery and may only be performed by licensed plastic surgeons in a hospital or an accredited skin centre.
  
Laser treatment is probably the most preferred non-surgical skin tightening treatment for skin tightening. The carbon dioxide is used to dissolve and smoothen very deep wrinkles in the skin. This means though that CO2 Laser is ideal for locations in the skin where the loosening and wrinkling is not very severe. If attempted on locations where the sagging is more pronounced, you will just be disappointed by the results no matter how many sessions you hold. This procedure uses ultrasound technology, which means it can penetrate deep into the skin and begin its tightening/restructuring magic from the very base. The deep-skin layer is heated to hasten collagen production, which is instrumental for the recovery of the skin's natural elasticity. This is also highly recommended by plastic surgeons, especially for women who want to do something akin to a face lift. Monopolar radio frequency is used to tighten the skin. According to testimonies, the results are excellent because everything looks natural, not obviously tightened like a stretched plastic sheet.

Top Flange Hanger With Strengthening Embossment



  Structural connector for connecting first and second structural members has a substantially planar first flange and an embossment in the first flange, and the embossment in the first flange is formed with first and second sections. The first section generally extending uniformly to a first level above the top surface of the substantially planar first flange, that is different from a level to which the second section generally uniformly extends, the first and second sections being joined to each other at a distinct transition portion where the embossment sharply descends from the level of the first section to the level of the second section. The structural connector can be made with a bend that forms a first member adjacent the first flange and the embossment can extend through the bend into the first member. The structural connector of the present invention has particular application in the field of structural hangers where an elongated, generally horizontally disposed structural member is hung from a supporting structure, both being part of thestructural frame of a building.
 
  In light frame construction, it is common to hang the joists supporting the floors of the building from horizontally disposed members often called headers, beams or ledgers. The joists can be supported by hangers which are attached to theheaders, beams or ledgers. One type of hanger used is called a top flange hanger. A top flange hanger has a portion or member that rests on the top surface of the supporting structure, increasing the strength of the connection. Unfortunately, the presence of the top flange can interfere with the setting of the sub-flooring members on top of the joists and the headers and ledgers. The top flanges create an unevenness in the surface upon which the sub-flooring isinstalled. Preferably, the flat top surfaces of the joists, headers and ledgers will all be uniformly level and set at the same elevation, once the members are set in place, although deviations are often made to allow for shrinkage of members made from woodor having wood sub-components.
