CASA’s Outstanding Capital Project award recognizes an exemplary public wastewater capital project, emphasizing unique or innovative design for a difficult and challenging issue. Ironhouse received this award for its aluminum sulfate (alum) feed station. In the winter of 2016, the District’s collection system and Water Recycling Facility received a significant increase in storm flows and illegal surface water drainage. These increased flows resulted in the need to add alum to increase ultraviolet light (UV) transmittance and reduce suspended solids.
“Through direction from the Board of Directors, the District has pre-purchased a bulk storage tank to achieve cost savings and safety improvements prior to the project completion,” said Tyson Zimmerman, Ironhouse’s assistant general manager.
To deal with issue the District worked to provide a temporary system to reduce the cost of alum including building a secondary containment for alum storage, which resulted in significantly reducing the cost the District spent alum.
The temporary solution was implemented to take advantage of bulk chemical deliveries until the final permanent design is constructed.Another day, another album! This time around, Matthew Sweet’s 1991 power pop / alternative rock masterpiece Girlfriend.
While Nirvana and Soundgarden were grunging it up in the early 90s, and Trent Reznor and Ministry were shattering eardrums, Matthew Sweet came along with a perfect contemporary pop album full of love songs. Don’t get the idea that Girlfriend doesn’t rock, though. It’s got plenty of hefty guitar work and excellent drumming courtesy of producer Fred Maher.
The title track, “Girlfriend” is a great example of what you’ll find on the album. It’s instantly familiar, catchy as all hell, and still chock full of tasty guitar work. The lyrics don’t really hold up under deep inspection, but the song lives on raw emotion anyway.
The intro for the album is “Divine Intervention,” another guitar-driven anthem. I’m not sure there’s a lot of new musical ground broken here, but Sweet and company cover familiar territory with some interesting twists and they do it particularly well. I particularly love the false ending that morphs into another sustained attack at the chorus and is full of masterful guitar work.
“You Don’t Love Me,” is a bit of a change-up for Girlfriend. It’s slower, has some steel guitar and piano, and just a touch of country about it. About letting go of a former partner, I find this one the most poignant song on the album.
“Holy War,” is the only real deviation from love/loss songs, and Sweet tries his hand at a protest about the Gulf War here. It’s not horrible, but he’s out of his element on this one.
Even with a misstep, Girlfriend still delivers 25 years after its release. I’ve checked out some of Sweet’s subsequent work, and while it’s good, none of it has quite tickled my music bone the way that Girlfriend did. Maybe I’m not as receptive an audience for Sweet as I was in my early 20s, or maybe (as the commercial success of other albums hints) Girlfriend was a creative peak. But Girlfriend is a hell of an album, and I’m always happy to recommend it to folks who didn’t catch it the first time around.A question about Neil in the final scene

Big spoilers if you haven't seen, apologies if I mess something up I just watched the movie and am curious.


I just finished the movie, and one detail has been bothering  me a ton.

So how does Neil actually die? In the final sequence, we see the inverted soldier with the red tag rise up and take the bullet from the henchman that was meant for the protagonist, and then run away in the inverse. We assume this kills him in his timeline of course, and as we know later, that soldier is Neil. However, it is already shown that inverted bullets are lodged in the scenery before they are un-shot. This must also be true for people who are inverted, meaning real bullets appear to be lodged in the environment. 

Which leads us to my question. Can Neil actually be killed in this way? By the logic of the movie the bullet would have to be lodged in his head already from his perspective, and then ripped out when the henchman fires his gun at the protagonist. For Neil, a bullet would rip itself out of his head, killing him, and then land in the henchman's gun. The bullet cannot exist otherwise in the environment, as it would have killed the protagonist. 

This is all very confusing for me, and I would love some clarity!The joint commission is the body that concerns itself with observance of standards in healthcare. The body operates in the United States of America. The body certifies healthcare organisations based on their record of accomplishment and performance concerning set standards. Considering the fact that the commission has a subscription list of nineteen thousand health care facilities, it is a reputable origination. It is a non-for profit-oriented organisation (Brauer, 2001). Its primary goal is to ensure healthcare standards maintenance and enforcement throughout the country take place. Stakeholders view certificates issued by the commission as a true vindication of performance and quality. Goals of the commission are achieved by collaborating with health facilities and encouraging them to provide a high degree of care and services to the people. The body ensures adherence to the certification by carrying out follow up checks every two years (Joint Commission, 2012).
In case of laboratories, the commission determines the viability of these facilities every two years. This is done with a view to ensuring that standards are observed and upheld. Having set up shop sixty-one years ago, the organisation claim to be the oldest accrediting institution in the entire country that is still holds relevance. The accreditation standard set by the body is taken in lofty regard in medical circles. Apart from the long-running experience in the healthcare circles, it is the only organisation with the required resources to evaluate the entire spectrum of healthcare facilities in the country. In light of the information given, it is discernible that the organisation wields considerable influence in the running of affairs of the medical practice as far as standards are concerned. The organisation is analysed in intimate detail in this paper.
Purposes of the commission are varied, but it has a number of main purposes. The commission’s most crucial function is tort and injury prevention. It is inevitable, during the course of medical practice, that errors may occur and the mistakes translate into far reaching repercussions. The joint commission is at the forefront of preventing and addressing the cases of medical negligence. The core aspect of litigation and the course of justice are determination of neglect (Fiscina, 1991). It is often difficult for a patient to prove professional negligence. The joint commission steps in by setting standards and enforcing the same. Concisely, the necessity to address the situation arose out of an insufficient tort system. It was widely regarded that the tort system available under the law was inadequate. Court cases dragged for long, and patients were often under-compensated. The joint commission eases the process of litigation precisely because it has a team of highly skilled medics. It specialises in the same area covered by its mandate.
The complexity of medical cases increases once one considers the potential loopholes involved. It is possible for medic to claim that they did all in their power to save the situation. The joint committee spearheads tort resolution and injury address by exercising its authority (Fiscina, 1991). The commission could decide to revoke the health facility’s certificate. Further, the commission could advise patients to seek treatment elsewhere. In the interest of public good, the commission can provide evidence before a court of law to incriminate a health facility accused under tort or of lethal injury. By setting guidelines, solving litigation, and enforcing adherence, the joint commission acts as the mediator of tort cases and injury.
Injury prevention is achieved through accreditation of medical facilities. The Gold Seal of Approval is the highest award that is handed to a health organisation. Lofty standards maintained by the commission ensure that it is impossible for unscrupulous health facilities to secure certificates of their operation. Health care facilities have to be put through the testing process that ensures compliance (Joint Commission, 2012).Given the nature and multiplicity of organisations in the medical industry, the commission has to set up unique standards for each type of facility. The facility will be entitled to the process of operation once it gains a certificate. Another salient purpose of the commission is to safeguard the interests of the patients. The commission achieves this by ensuring that it sets goals (Brauer, 2001).
The goals it sets for the health facilities are geared towards marinating standards that guarantee the perpetual well-being of patients in order to avoid injury to patients. Failure to enhance this would eventually hand the health facilities the leeway to cause untold havoc on people. The commission works with insurance companies to rewards the facilities that adhere to their set standards and work ethic. Insurance companies subsequently
