Willamette Valley flood of 1996

The Willamette Valley flood of 1996 was part of a larger series of floods in the Pacific Northwest of the United States which took place between late January and mid-February 1996. It was Oregon's largest flood event in terms of fatalities and monetary damage during the 1990s. The floods spread beyond Oregon's Willamette Valley, extending west to the Oregon Coast and east toward the Cascade Mountains. Significant flood damage also impacted the American states of Washington, Idaho (particularly the north of the state) and California. The floods were directly responsible for eight deaths in Oregon, as well as over US$500 million in property damage throughout the Pacific Northwest. Three thousand residents were displaced from their homes.

Causes
An unusual confluence of weather events made the floods particularly severe. The winter preceding the floods had produced abnormally high rainfall and relatively low snowfall. The heavy rains saturated ground soil and raised river levels throughout January 1996. In late January, a heavy snowstorm padded snow packs throughout the region. This was followed by a deep freeze that lasted for six to ten days.  The new layer of snow was quickly melted by a warm subtropical jetstream which arrived on February 6. The jetstream brought along further rains.  The combination of the additional rain, the saturated ground, and the melting snow packs engorged dozens of streams and tributaries, which in turn flooded into the region's major rivers.

Impacts

The Willamette River, which flows through downtown Portland, crested at , some  above flood stage.  The river came within inches of flowing over its seawall and flooding a large portion of Portland's downtown Tom McCall Waterfront Park.  A major sandbagging effort involving civilians as well as the Oregon National Guard was launched throughout downtown Portland and was maintained until the floodwaters began to recede on February 9. At least five rivers in Oregon crested at all-time highs during the floods.

The downtown areas of Oregon City and Tillamook suffered particularly heavy damage from the floods, and both were submerged for several days. Several houses in SW Portland were also damaged by the heavy rainfall and a landslide caused one stretch of SW Fairmount Boulevard to be closed for several weeks.

Timber Jim

Jim Serrill, known as Timber Jim, was the mascot for the United Soccer Leagues Portland Timbers soccer team.  A fan favorite from the earlier North American Soccer League Portland Timbers, he came back in 2001 to join the new Portland Timbers.

On January 24, 2008, Jim announced his retirement. He was replaced by Timber Joey in the middle of the 2008 season.

History

In 1978, Serrill was coming regularly to Timbers games with his family. Soon he asked the management of the Timbers (who were then owned by the timber company Louisiana-Pacific) if he could bring a chain saw to a game. They reluctantly allowed this and not too long after Timber Jim was created. He later added to the chain saw raised high above his head by bringing a drum and other acts to the game. Soon he was scaling high above the large crowds at Civic Stadium on a tall pole or "snag."

After the original Timbers team folded, Serrill went back to work in the timber industry and later Portland General Electric. When the Timbers were reformed in 2001 he returned with the team. His teenage daughter, Hannah, was killed in an automobile accident in 2004, and in her memory, the Timbers Army made a tradition of singing "You Are My Sunshine", her favourite song, while holding sunflowers, her favourite flower, often led by a tearful Timber Jim.

Jim's act
Timber Jim was known as one of the best performers for any team, largely because of his unique talents as an actual lumberjack.  These included:
 Scaling a tall "snag" off the pitch and standing on top high above the crowd (as of 2007 discontinued due to safety concerns).
 Cutting a round from a log with one of his chain saws every time the Timbers score
 Hanging above the crowd on a zip-line with his drum
 Singing "We are the Timbers..." to section 107 (Timbers Army), eventually spelling out T-I-M-B-E-R-S (the R extended, imitating the roaring of a chainsaw)
 Pounding on a large drum, yelling out "Port-land (beat, beat) Tim-bers"
 Doing forward handsprings (quite a feat, as he was in his fifties by the time he retired)

Retirement
On January 24, 2008, Jim announced his retirement.  Over the years Jim has brought a few under his wing to pass on the role, with little success. His final farewell was a game played against the Puerto Rico Islanders on April 17, 2008, the Timbers home opener, which was won 1-0. Timber Jim was succeeded by Timber Joey, another lumberman who saws log slices for successful Timbers players.

Comparison of VoIP software

This is a comparison of voice over IP (VoIP) software used to conduct telephone-like voice conversations across Internet Protocol (IP) based networks. For residential markets, voice over IP phone service is often cheaper than traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) service and can remove geographic restrictions to telephone numbers, e.g., have a PSTN phone number in a New York area code ring in Tokyo.

For businesses, VoIP obviates separate voice and data pipelines, channelling both types of traffic through the IP network while giving the telephony user a range of advanced abilities.

Softphones are client devices for making and receiving voice and video calls over the IP network with the standard functions of most original telephones and usually allow integration with VoIP phones and USB phones instead of using a computer's microphone and speakers (or headset). Most softphone clients run on the open Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) supporting various codecs. Skype runs on a closed proprietary networking protocol but additional business telephone system (PBX) software can allow a SIP based telephone system to connect to the Skype network. Online chat programs now also incorporate voice and video communications.

Other VoIP software applications include conferencing servers, intercom systems, virtual foreign exchange services (FXOs) and adapted telephony software which concurrently support VoIP and public switched telephone network (PSTN) like Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, dial in dictation, on hold and call recording servers.

Some entries below are Web-based VoIP; most are standalone Desktop applications.

Francis Xavier Caldwell

Francis Xavier Caldwell (May 4, 1792 – June 5, 1851) was  a businessman and political figure in Upper Canada.

He was born in Detroit in 1792, the son of William Caldwell and grandson of Jacques Baby. He served with the British Army during the War of 1812. After the war, he settled on a farm in Amherstburg. In 1831, he was appointed customs collector and, in 1833, justice of the peace. In 1834, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada for Essex; he was reelected in 1836. In 1835, he invested heavily in property near an ironworks in Essex County; the project failed due to the unstable financial climate and uncertainty related to the Upper Canada Rebellion. Caldwell also wound up assuming the financial responsibilities of another investor who fled to the United States. He had to sell much of his property to cover these debts.

He died in Malden Township in 1851.

Royal Association of Belgian Actuaries

The Royal Association of Belgian Actuaries is the former name of the national association for actuaries in Belgium. It was known as the ARAB/KVBA, an acronym of its names in Dutch—Koninklijke Vereniging van Belgische Actuarissen—and French—L’Association Royale des Actuaires de Belgique.
The association was founded in 1895, and was an original member of the International Actuarial Association, founded that same year.
In 2009, the association changed its name to IA|BE, standing for Instituut van Actuarissen in België (in Dutch), Institut des Actuaires en Belgique (in French) and Institute of Actuaries in Belgium (in English).

Objectives
The IA|BE aims to support and promote the profession of actuary. As a professional organisation, it aims to play a decisive role for its members in the communication of information on actuarial technical training and in the organisation of the profession. As such, the association wishes to develop its relations and complementarities with universities, the public sector, other professional associations and companies active in the same area.

In concert with their mission statement, the IA|BE is a member of both the Groupe Consultatif and the International Actuarial Association.

Hay buck

Hay bucking, or "bucking hay", is a type of manual labor where rectangular hay bales, ranging in weight from about , are stacked by hand in a field, in a storage area such as a barn, or stacked on a vehicle for transportation, such as a flatbed trailer or semi truck for delivery to where the hay is needed. The act of throwing the bales up to a higher level is called "bucking".  The work is very strenuous and physically demanding, and is dependent upon using a proper technique in order to not become fatigued and avoid injury.  

Large quantities of small square bales are sometimes gathered with mechanical equipment such as a hay stacker, which can hold up to about 100 hay bales.

The workers generally wear chaps to protect their legs and use hay hooks, long metal hooks with wooden handles, to secure the bales and move them.  An apparatus known as an elevator is used to move the bales, conveyor belt style, to levels too high to buck them.  Workers are usually paid by the ton or by the number of bales. Because the work is so labor-intensive, many farmers have taken to making multiple ton bales that are moved with machines.

Hay bucking competitions are sometimes held at rodeos and county fairs.
