# Total maximum daily load

A **total maximum daily load** (TMDL) is a regulatory term in the U.S. Clean Water Act, describing a plan for restoring impaired waters that identifies the maximum amount of a pollutant that a body of water can receive while still meeting water quality standards.

## State and federal agency responsibilities

The Clean Water Act requires that state environmental agencies complete TMDLs for impaired waters and that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review and approve / disapprove those TMDLs. Because both state and federal governments are involved in completing TMDLs, the TMDL program is an example of cooperative federalism. If a state doesn't take action to develop TMDLs, or if EPA disapproves state-developed TMDLs, the EPA is responsible for issuing TMDLs. EPA published regulations in 1992 establishing TMDL procedures. Application of TMDLs has broadened significantly in the last decade to include many watershed-scale efforts, including the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. TMDLs identify all point source and nonpoint source pollutants within a watershed.

## State inventories

The Clean Water Act requires states to compile lists of water bodies that do not fully support beneficial uses such as aquatic life, fisheries, drinking water, recreation, industry, or agriculture; and to prioritize those water bodies for TMDL development. These inventories are known as "303(d) lists" and characterize waters as *fully supporting*, *impaired*, or in some cases *threatened* for beneficial uses.

## Planning process

Beneficial use determinations must have sufficient credible water quality data for TMDL planning.

Throughout the U.S., data are often lacking adequate spatial or temporal coverage to reliably establish the sources and magnitude of water quality degradation.

TMDL planning in large watersheds is a process that typically involves the following steps:

1. Watershed characterization—understanding the basic physical, environmental, and human elements of the watershed.
2. Impairment status—analyzing existing data to determine if waters fully support beneficial uses
3. Data gaps and monitoring report—identification of any additional data needs and monitoring recommendations
4. Source assessment—identification of sources of pollutants, and magnitude of sources.
5. Load allocation—determination of natural pollutant load, and load from human activities (i.e. diffuse nonpoint sources and point discharges).
6. Set targets—establishment of water quality targets intended to restore or maintain beneficial uses.
7. TMDL implementation plan—a watershed management strategy to attain established targets.

### Water quality targets

The purpose of water quality targets is to protect or restore beneficial uses and protect human health. These targets may include state/federal numerical water quality standards or narrative standards, i.e. within the range of "natural" conditions. Establishing targets to restore beneficial uses is challenging and sometimes controversial. For example, the restoration of a fishery may require reducing temperatures, nutrients, sediments, and improving habitat.

Necessary values for each pollutant target to restore fisheries can be uncertain. The potential for a water body to support a fishery even in a pristine state can be uncertain.

### Background

Calculating the TMDL for any given body of water involves the combination of factors that contribute to the problem of nutrient concentrated runoff. Bodies of water are tested for contaminants based on their intended use. Each body of water is tested similarly but designated with a different TMDL. Drinking water reservoirs are designated differently from areas for public swimming and water bodies intended for fishing are designated differently from water located in wildlife conservation areas. The size of the water body also is taken into consideration when TMDL calculating is undertaken. The larger the body of water, the greater the amounts of contaminants can be present and still maintain a margin of safety. The *margin of safety* (MOS) is numeric estimate included in the TMDL calculation, sometimes 10% of the TMDL, intended to allow a safety buffer between the calculated TMDL and the actual load that will allow the water body to meet its beneficial use (since the natural world is complex and several variables may alter future conditions). TMDL is the end product of all point and non-point source pollutants of a single contaminant. Pollutants that originate from a point source are given allowable levels of contaminants to be discharged; this is the *waste load allocation* (WLA). Nonpoint source pollutants are also calculated into the TMDL equation with *load allocation* (LA).

### Calculation

The calculation of a TMDL is as follows:

$$TMDL=WLA+LA+MOS$$

where WLA is the waste load allocation for point sources, LA is the load allocation for nonpoint sources, and MOS is the margin of safety.

### Load allocations

Load allocations are equally challenging as setting targets. Load allocations provide a framework for determining the relative share of natural sources and human sources of pollution.

The natural background load for a pollutant may be imprecisely understood. Industrial dischargers, farmers, land developers, municipalities, natural resource agencies, and other watershed stakeholders each have a vested interest in the outcome.

## Implementation

To implement TMDLs with point sources, wasteload allocations are incorporated into discharge permits for these sources. The permits are issued by EPA or delegated state agencies under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Nonpoint source discharges (e.g. agriculture) are generally in a voluntary compliance scenario. The TMDL implementation plan is intended to help bridge this divide and ensure that watershed beneficial uses are restored and maintained. Local watershed groups play a critical role in educating stakeholders, generating funding, and implementing projects to reduce nonpoint sources of pollution.

***The Secret of the Skies*** is a 1934 Australian film directed by A. R. Harwood about a bank robber who crashes an aircraft in remote bush. The story was inspired by the 1931 disappearance of the Australian National Airways aircraft the *Southern Cloud*.

## Plot

Hal Wayne (Norman Shepherd), a bank clerk, has absconded with £10,000 of his bank's money. He hijacks an aircraft, the *Golden Eagle*, which crashes in the mountains.

Wayne steals the remaining food and abandons the others to their death. He is driven half-mad in the wilderness and throws away his money before being found by a prospector and returned to civilisation. But he is haunted by guilt and three years later confesses to police.

## Cast

* Paul Allsop as Larry Hamilton
* Norman Banks as first announcer
* Ella Bromley as Anne Walters
* John D'Arcy as Captain Sinclair
* Jimmy Dee as Monty Wright
* Guy Hastings as Detective Palmer
* Fred Patey as Frederick Holtz
* Norman Shepherd as Hal Wayne
* Ada Koradgi as Miss Mckenzie
* Eddie Balmer as second announcer

## Production

*The Secret of the Skies* was partly shot in Cinesound Production's new studio facility in St Kilda, Melbourne in July 1933.

## Release

Harwood managed to arrange distribution through Universal although he later claimed that the release was delayed too long. Critical reception was generally poor. One reviewer said:

> "If one is to spend an hour on a mountain top with seven, stranded travellers it is desirable that they should be amusing or interesting in some way or other. Except for the pilot (played extremely well by John Darcy) they are ill at ease, and their conversation is starchy. This conversational stiffness is emphasised by the lack of action, particularly on the part of the camera, which is set down in front of the unhappy party, and stays there without a movement for minutes on end. But the film has its moments of vitality. The actual crash is first-rate; and quite equal to similar instances in American pictures... In some of the scenes in the bush one is made to feel the remoteness of the travellers and the hopelessness of their position; but elsewhere stagey treatment and acting often rob the film of the spontaneity and the dramatic intensity it should have possessed."

Despite a production cost of several thousand pounds the film only returned £325 to the producers.

# The Three Gentlemen

***The Three Gentlemen*** is a 1932 novel of adventure and romance by A. E. W. Mason, published by Hodder & Stoughton. It follows the story of a young couple in ancient Roman times whose love spans the centuries as they are reincarnated in the Elizabethan era, and finally in the early 20th century.

## Plot

### Part 1

Attilius Scaurus, a young citizen of Hadrian's Rome, has run up debts and is in danger of bringing his prominent family into disrepute. To avoid a scandal, the family arrange for Attilius to be conscripted into the army and put into the care of a relative, the Legate of the Sixth Legion, stationed at York. Attilius spends several years helping to supervise the construction of the wall, and several more on the road later to be known as Stane Street. One day, at work on the South Downs, Attilius is approached by Prasutacus, a wealthy Briton, who invites him home to dine. Although Attilius is suspicious of Britons who are "more Roman than the Romans" he accepts, and that evening meets the man's daughter Sergia. The couple fall in love, and continue to meet in secret while Attilius's legion works in the area. Then the legion moves on, and the couple do not see each other for four years.

When the legion is finally ordered back to Rome, Attilius and Sergia covertly meet once again at their old trysting place. But Prasutacus has heard rumours that the Romans are about to leave Britain for good, and concludes that he can now deal with his daughter's lover without danger of retribution. He captures Attilius and has him murdered. But before he dies Attilius promises Sergia "another life, in other days".

### Part 2

As a boy growing up in the mid 16th century, Anthony Scarr had always known things about the Romans that he had not knowingly learned. Now a fashionable young lawyer at Gray's Inn, he has offered to help with the elaborate preparations that are being made for a visit of Queen Elizabeth to the home of Lord Montague, the father of a friend. As Anthony rehearses his part in the proposed entertainment, he meets Sylvia Buckhust, the daughter of a local landowner. The pair immediately recognise each other. They spend time in a secluded bower on the Downs, the same trysting place that had been used hundreds of years earlier.

The Queen takes a liking to Anthony and favours him, but is jealous when she hears that he loves another. She humiliates Sylvia in public, provoking an insult from Anthony. Now in fear of his life, Anthony prepares to flee, but is prevented by Sir Francis Walsingham who asks him to undertake a private mission spying on the court of King Phillip in Spain.

When the Spanish Armada sails for England in 1588 Anthony is on one of the ships, posing as an Italian soldier. He destroys the vessel by throwing a torch into the magazine, is caught and is hanged. When Walsingham breaks the news to Sylvia she weeps but feels a presence with her in the room.

### Part 3

Adrian Shard's father had always hoped that his son would go into politics. After completing his studies at Oxford, Adrian secures a post as private secretary to Spencer Cratton, a Cabinet Minister. Coincidentally his lodgings overlook the rear of Cratton's house in London's Grosvenor Street. Arriving home late one evening, he sees through the French windows Cratton talking to a man he later recognises as the notorious financier George Andros; and he sees a young woman evidently ill at ease. She is Sonia Challice, Cratton's stepdaughter and Adrian's ancient soul mate.

Some months later, newspapers report the illegal manipulation of a stock price, and demand that the culprit be found. Looking out after dark from his lodgings Adrian can see into the room in Cratton's house that serves as his own office, and with Sonia and two other witnesses he sees Andros planting incriminating documents in his desk.

Adrian tells Cratton that he and Sonia wish to marry. Cratton and Sonia's mother had intended to force Sonia to marry Andros, but they give way when they understand that Adrian has evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Adrian and Sonia marry and travel to Rome on honeymoon. As Adrian looks out across the city he is puzzled by what he thinks is a new building - the dome of St Peter's: it was the first time he had seen Rome for eighteen hundred years.

## Literary significance and criticism

Mason had discussed the original idea for the book with his friend Rudyard Kipling, and consulted him as the story neared completion. Kipling was enthusiastic.

Reviewing the first edition for *The Sunday Times*, Ralph Straus considered the book to be "frankly, a disappointment", with little to distinguish it from other treatments of metempsychosis. He was unconvinced by the slender thread which binds three variations of the same story, and found himself not deeply moved. Mason's biographer Roger Lancelyn Green, however, writing in 1952, reported that the book was well received on its appearance, and that it continued to be one of Mason's most popular tales.

Green's own view was that *The Three Gentlemen* does not reach the high level that its inspiration seemed to warrant, with the third section amounting to merely a chapter in the story of reincarnations rather than, as it could have been, the culmination of the Roman and Elizabethan sections. Nevertheless, he considered the book to be of considerable importance in Mason's literary career, and one that, as a story of adventure, does not fail.

***The Three Stooges In Orbit*** is a 1962 American comedy science fiction film directed by Edward Bernds. It is the fourth feature film to star the Three Stooges after their 1959 resurgence in popularity. By this time, the trio consisted of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe DeRita (dubbed "Curly Joe"). Released by Columbia Pictures and produced by Normandy Productions, *The Three Stooges in Orbit* was directed by long-time Stooge director Edward Bernds, whom Moe later cited as the team's finest director.

## Plot

The Stooges are television actors grappling with the impending cancellation of their animated television show, *The Three Stooges Scrapbook*. Their producer's dissatisfaction prompts a ten-day ultimatum to devise a compelling concept, forcing the Stooges to seek alternative lodging after an unfortunate cooking mishap results in eviction. Fortuitously, they find lodging in the eccentric abode of Professor Danforth, a fervent believer in an imminent Martian invasion. Danforth enlists the Stooges' assistance in developing a multifunctional military vehicle in exchange for his creation of an "electronic animation" device for their show. Despite initial skepticism, the Stooges acquiesce to Danforth's peculiar request.

Unbeknownst to them, the butler, disguised as a monster, is revealed as a Martian spy, signaling the extraterrestrial threat. As the Martians dispatch additional spies to Earth, a series of comedic mishaps ensue, including a transmission error of antiquated films and the inadvertent acquisition of a nuclear depth bomb, mistaken for a carburetor. A test run of the military vehicle leads the Stooges into a nuclear test area, culminating in an unexpected performance enhancement upon attaching the bomb to the engine.

Subsequently, a confrontation with the Martians ensues aboard the vehicle, climaxing in a daring endeavor to thwart the impending destruction of Earth and Disneyland. The Stooges successfully dismantle the Martians' scheme, averting catastrophe and ultimately saving their careers.

## Cast

## Production

The inception of *The Three Stooges in Orbit* can be traced back to *The Three Stooges Scrapbook*, an unsuccessful color television pilot crafted in 1960 at a financial outlay of $30,000. Confronted with the pilot's lack of commercial success, producer Norman Maurer repurposed the existing footage by transforming it into black and white. Concurrently, Maurer structured the narrative around the premise of the Stooges engaging in rehearsals for their prospective television endeavor. Maurer also capitalized on the availability of numerous film props initially utilized in the production of *Forbidden Planet*.

## Plot

Phileas Fogg III, the great-grandson of the renowned adventurer, undertakes a challenge to replicate his ancestor's iconic circumnavigation of the globe. The wager is initiated by Randolph Stuart III, purportedly a descendant of the elder Fogg's historical adversary. Unbeknownst to the participants, Stuart is revealed to be Vicker Cavendish, a notorious confidence trickster employing the bet as a ruse to conceal his embezzlement from the Bank of England, intending to frame Fogg for the crime.

Accompanying Cavendish is his cunning Cockney co-conspirator, Filch. This venture poses considerable peril for Fogg and his entourage, consisting of the Stooges and the newly acquainted Amelia Carter, whom they rescue during a tumultuous train journey. The narrative unfolds with diverse episodes: an endeavor to purloin a cream pie on a British cargo ship bound for Turkey, an observation of an intricate Indian dance at a maharajah's palace featuring the Stooges, and an arrest in China, where the characters endure Communist brainwashing, leading to their release adrift in a small boat. Exploiting Curly-Joe's music-induced strength, the group secures sustenance, attire, and passage to San Francisco from the manager of a formidable sumo wrestler in Tokyo. Subsequently, they clandestinely board a moving van ostensibly headed for New York City, leading to their apprehension and subsequent arrest in Canada by a British inspector. Adopting British accents, the Stooges and Amelia contrive to be arrested alongside Fogg.

Returning to London, they encounter Cavendish and Filch once more, masquerading as police officers armed with hostile intent. Parallel to the original Phileas Fogg's journey, the descendant narrowly miscalculates, preserving an opportunity. In a final pursuit, Curly-Joe propels the police wagon through London, enabling Fogg to triumph in the bet, concluding with a dramatic crash into the Reformer's Club just seconds before the deadline.

## Cast

## Production notes

The Three Stooges brought back their famous "Maharaja" routine here for the third time, which was originally showcased in *Time Out for Rhythm* (1941), and later reused in their 1946 short subject *Three Little Pirates*. The *Pop Goes the Weasel* bit from *Punch Drunks* (1934) also makes an appearance in the film.

Regarding eye pokes, IMDB reports:

> Moe says "we don't do that anymore", after one of the Stooge lookalikes 'eye pokes' one of the other lookalikes. This comes from an agreement Moe Howard and Larry Fine made with Joe DeRita at the beginning of the full length movie series. The agreement was that the eye poke would not be used by the group any longer due to the resurgence of the popularity of the comedy trio, especially with kids seeing the shorts during afternoon children's programming. DeRita was concerned that kids would imitate the eye poke, and not do it correctly, thus causing real damage to the eyes. Moe and Larry agreed with DeRita, and the eye poke was retired from the act, making this scene a rarity in the later Stooge years.

# The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse

**"*The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse*"** is a short story by William Saroyan, published within the collection *My Name is Aram.* It tells the story of two boys, Aram and Mourad, who belong to a very poor fictional tribe called the Garoghlanian tribe.

## Plot summary

“The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse” is narrated by a nine-year-old Armenian boy named Aram, a member of the Garoghlanian tribe, living among the lush fruit orchards and vineyards of the San Joaquin Valley in California. One morning Aram is awakened at four in the morning by his thirteen-year-old cousin Mourad, who is said to be the 'crazy streak' in their tribe by everyone except Aram, and has a way with animals. Aram is astonished to see that Mourad is sitting on a beautiful white horse. Aram had always wanted to ride a white horse, but his family is too poor to afford one. However, despite being poor, the Garoghlanian tribe is noted for its honesty and trust, as a result, it is unthinkable that Mourad would have stolen the horse. Aram felt that his cousin couldn't have stolen the horse and that 'stealing a horse for a ride was not the same thing as stealing something else, such as money'.

Mourad's crazy behaviour was considered to be of natural descent from their uncle Khosrove, even though his father, Zorab, was a practical man. Uncle Khosrove was an enormous man who was always furious, impatient, and irritable. He would roar for everyone to stop talking and say *It is no harm, pay no attention to it*. In fact, one day, when his son came and told them that their house was on fire, Khosrove silenced him by roaring "Enough. It is no harm".

Aram was invited to ride on the horse with Mourad. The idea of Mourad stealing the horse drained away from Aram's mind when he felt that it wouldn't become stealing unless they offer to sell the horse. They enjoyed rides on the horse for a few hours.

After a short time of riding, Mourad wanted to ride alone on the horse. Aram had the same longing, but when he sat on the horse and kicked its muscles it reared and snorted and raced forward towards the vineyard of Dikran Halabian, eventually dropping Aram off its back. After half an hour they found the horse and hid it in the barn of a deserted vineyard of a farmer named Fetvajian which had once been his pride.

That afternoon, an Assyrian farmer named John Byro—a friend of the Garoghlanians—came to Aram's house. He reported to Aram's mother that his white horse which had been stolen a month ago was still missing. Hearing this, Aram concludes that, Mourad must have had the horse for a long time. Khosrove, who was at Aram's house when Byro came, shouted -“it's no harm" to such an extent that Byro was forced to leave to avoid responding.

Aram ran to Mourad to inform him about Byro's arrival. Aram also pleads with Mourad not to return the horse until he could learn to ride. Mourad disagrees saying that Aram would take at least a year to learn, but promises he would keep it for six months at most. This became a routine. Mourad came daily to pick Aram to ride, and Aram continuously fell off the horse's back after every attempt. Two weeks later, when they were going to take the horse back to its hiding place, they met John Byro on the road. The farmer was extremely surprised. He recognized his horse but refused to believe that the boys had stolen it due to their tribe's fame for being honest and truthful. Later the boys return the horse quietly. That afternoon Byro came to Aram's house to inform that the stolen horse has been returned. He thanks God because the horse has become better tempered and well behaved too. Khosrove responded to him by shouting "Quiet, man, quiet. Your horse has been returned. Pay no attention to it."

India's National Council of Educational Research and Training included it in the book *Snapshots* which is part of the syllabus of Central Board of Secondary Education for grade 11.

# The Summer of the Ubume

***The Summer of the Ubume*** (姑獲鳥の夏, *Ubume no natsu*) is a Japanese novel by Natsuhiko Kyogoku. It is Kyogoku’s first novel, and the first entry in his Kyōgōkudō series about atheist onmyōji Akihiko "Kyōgokudō" Chūzenji. It has been turned into a live-action feature film.

## Story

*The Summer of the Ubume* is told from the perspective of freelance writer Tatsumi Sekiguchi, who is investigating rumors of a woman at the Kuonji Clinic who has remained pregnant for twenty months after the disappearance of her husband. He seeks advice and help from his close friend Akihiko Chuzenji, whom Sekiguchi refers to by the name of his bookstore ("Kyōgokudō"). Sekiguchi is further drawn to the case when he meets the pregnant woman's beautiful sister, Ryoko Kuonji, and she asks for his help in solving her brother-in-law's disappearance from a locked, sealed room. With the help of his friends - Kyōgokudō, private eye Reijiro Enokizu, police detective Shujiro Kiba, and fellow reporter Atsuko Chuzenji (Kyōgokudō's sister) - Sekiguchi attempts to discover the disappearing husband's fate, but he soon learns that there is much more to the Kuonji Clinic than meets the eye, and that his own involvement with Makio Kuonji's disappearance may run deeper than he thinks. Only Kyōgokudō's knowledge of Japanese folklore - and specifically the legend of the *ubume*, often associated with death in childbirth - can make sense of the conflicting evidence, and Kyōgokudō agrees to perform an exorcism that will solve the mystery once and for all.

## Publication

The novel was first published in 1994 by Kodansha. In 2009, an English-language edition was published by Vertical.

## Film adaptation

The novel was adapted into a live-action feature film in 2005.

title: The Travels of Windimoto

abstract: The Travels Of Windimoto is the debut EP by American dance music production duo Windimoto.

# The Travels of Windimoto

**The Travels Of Windimoto** is the debut EP by American dance music production duo Windimoto.

## Background information

The very first Windimoto session was a trial session to see if members Sean Haley and Scorpeze could work together creatively. The first session yielded "Midnight In Eden". After that session, Windimoto was formed. The duo continued to record demos in order to feel each other out and devise a working formula.

The second Windimoto jam session yielded the basic instrumental track for "Don't Let Me Leave Alone". Plans were to refine the track and release it as an instrumental until Scorpeze played it for emcee/singer Phonte Coleman (Little Brother, The Foreign Exchange), who is a fan of house music. Coleman asked if he could put vocals on the track and the duo agreed. It was decided that Coleman would use an alias so that the song would stand or fall on its own merits. Coleman chose the alias Victor St. Clair. Coleman and newcomer Carlitta Durand also contributed vocals to "A Place For Us". The secret was revealed by a journalist in their review of the EP.

In a very short time after the track was completed, Bay Area hip-hop label, Interdependent Media, showed interest in releasing the song. A deal was made with Interdependent Media for a single release to be followed by a remix EP.

Remixes were done by Detroit producers Sevany2 (also known as tREBLEFREE) and DJ Tony Tone, Bay Area producer/remixer Trackademicks, and Dutch producer/musician Nicolay (Coleman's partner in the duo The Foreign Exchange). The stylistic variety of the remixes were intended to attract listeners who may not be familiar with dance music. The other three original tracks ("A Place For Us", "Underground Peace Lounge", "Afra Natura") were recorded in quick succession after the duo was formed. With the exception of "Afra Natura", these songs were considered demos and intended to be fleshed out later. Due to the very short period of time between Windimoto's inception and the deadline for the EP to be turned in, the duo decided to include the songs in their raw state on the EP.

Originally planned to be released in Summer 2007, the EP was pushed back until Winter 2007 when it was finally released digitally on November 13. The duo intended for the EP to have only 8 tracks with "Afra Natura" as the closing track, and the DJ Tony Tone and Trackademicks remixes as a bonus tracks on the digital release only. The duo did not wish to flood the CD with too many remixes of the same two songs. For reasons unknown, the EP was pressed as 10 tracks with the bonus tracks included. A 12" single was issued for "Don't Let Me Leave Alone"—with "A Place For Us" on the b-side—slightly ahead of the release of the EP. The Nicolay and Trackademicks remixes were included on the 12" along with the original version. There has not been a physical release of the EP to date.

In 2009, Phuture Soul Recordings released a remix single of "Don't Let Me Leave Alone" featuring remixes by Pirahanahead, Ian Friday, and Abicah Soul.

## Reception

Professional ratings
| Review scores | |

| Source | Rating |
| URB |  |
| PopMatters |  |
| Okayplayer | (favorable) |

Upon release of the EP, reviews from the music press were mostly very positive. The EP was praised by critics for its genre-bending and fresh sound. PopMatters critic Dan Nishimoto wrote that the EP "is an encouraging first excursion that begs repeated exploration" and awarded it 7 out of 10 stars. Properly Chilled critic Jamie Hailstone commented, "You’ve got minimal house beats, soulful vocals, bags of funk and good tunes. House never sounded so good." URB Magazine critic Conan Milne rated it 4 out of 5 stars and remarked, "*The Travels Of Windimoto* is a pretty rare album--one that does the term ‘genre-bending’ a bit of justice. URB Magazine went on to allow the duo to host their own podcast on the URB Magazine website. The Travels Of Windimoto was named #44 in Vapors Magazine's Top 50 Albums of 2008.

# The Secret Life of Us season 1

The **first season** of the television drama series *The Secret Life of Us* aired from 16 July to 26 November 2001 on Network Ten in Australia. The series traces the often tumultuous life of a group of friends in their mid-twenties who live in a St Kilda apartment building.

## Production

After airing the telemovie and subsequently receiving a great reception, Ten took a multimillion-dollar gamble and commissioned *The Secret Life of Us* to a series. Another gamble the network took was airing the series at 9:30pm, due partly to stop the breaching of censorship laws. Of the timeslot, Herald Sun journalist, Robert Fidgeon wrote, "Not that *The Secret Life of Us* is a tits-and-bums, obscenity-filled raunchfest. It is a quality series about the relationships of a group of twentysomethings. As such, it deserves to succeed. It is far and away the most accurate, honest and intelligent Australian drama series ever pitched at younger viewers."

## Plot

The series traces the often tumultuous life of a group of friends in their mid-twenties who live in a St Kilda apartment building and are all looking for the same thing – love, sex, romance and success. The problem is they haven't worked out how to get it yet – so they make it up as they go along. Exploring sympathetic themes and establishing a recognised trifecta of homelife, lovelife and worklife, their experiences become a salient reminder that despite the struggle, juggle and balance of these things – friendship is what matters. Alex Christensen is an ambitious doctor who is riddled with insecurities and shares a flat with would-be-writer Evan Wylde who is in need of motivation and Kelly Lewis, a vivacious real estate agent who quits her job because of the affair she was having with her boss. Miranda Lang has her sighs set on stardom and together with her actor boyfriend Richie Blake, they share a flat with the no-nonsense Will McGill. Simon Trader works as a bartender at the local pub and is a source of wisdom and love. Jason Kennedy and Gabrielle Kovitch are about to get married for the wrong reasons – who will be the first to realise their mistake?

# The Summit at Snoqualmie

**The Summit at Snoqualmie** is a recreation area in the northwest United States, located on Snoqualmie Pass, Washington. It provides alpine skiing and snowboarding, Nordic skiing, mountain biking, winter tubing, and scenic lift rides. Owned and managed by Boyne Resorts, it is 52 miles (80 km) east of downtown Seattle on Interstate 90.

The Summit consists of four base areas that used to be individually owned and operated resorts. Alpental, Summit West (formerly Snoqualmie Summit), Summit Central (formerly Ski Acres), and Summit East (formerly Hyak and PacWest), border Lake Keechelus on the East and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on the West/North. The Summit at Snoqualmie is the closest ski area to Seattle, about an hour away.

Ski Lifts, Inc., the operator of what became Summit West, acquired the other three resorts. Booth Creek Ski acquired the properties in 1997. Booth Creek sold The Summit to CNL Lifestyle in 2006, but continued to operate the resort under a lease. Booth Creek sold The Summit lease to Boyne Resorts in 2007. CNL Lifestyle sold Booth Creek in a batch of resorts to Och-Ziff Capital Management in 2016. Boyne purchased the ski resort in March 2018.

The vertical drop ranges from 2,280 ft (690 m) at Alpental, to 765 ft (233 m) at Summit West. Combined, the four base areas have 19 chairlifts and 5 surface lifts. The resort is open seven days and six nights per week.

## Alpental

Of the four base areas, only Alpental is located north of I-90 and is known for its advanced and backcountry terrain, including some of the steepest runs in the state. It has 2 double lifts, 1 triple chairlift, 1 high-speed detachable-quad, and 1 surface lift.

### History

The territory of Alpental ski area was first owned through mining claims by early prospectors of the valley. Bob Mickelson and some friends bought options on the mining claims around 1960 with plans to develop a ski area on Denny Mountain and a community in the lower area. To help out with their plan, they enlisted Warren Miller to produce a promotional video simply titled "Alpental". To gain access to the area, they had to reach agreement with the Sahalie Ski Club to allow a road through their property. Alpental ski area agreed to maintain this section of road at their cost for the Sahalie group in exchange for this access for 99 years.

The ski area opened for the 1967–68 season with 3 chairlifts, then called Eins (1), Zwei (2), Drei (3), and 5 rope tows, had night skiing from the beginning, and was closed on Mondays. In 1970, the beginner lift, St. Bernard, was installed along with a platter pull that can be accessed via the Drei lift. In 1979, the ski area was sold to Westours (an Alaska tour operator), who gave the lifts real names, Meister (Master), Edelweiss, and Sessel (chair), and named the rope tows by German numbers, similar to the chairlifts’ old names. Then, in 1984 Westours sold the resort to Ski Lifts, Inc..

In 1984, Debbie Armstrong, a local skier, won the Winter Olympics, which made the summit rename the Meister lift and the Sessel Piste (Chair Slope) Trail into Debbie's Gold. The Debbie's Gold lift was replaced with a high-speed quad called Armstrong Express in 1998.

In 2023, the Sessel triple was completed and has been open since the 2023-2024 season.

## Summit West

Summit West contains the most well-known learning terrain of the whole resort. Mainly a beginner/intermediate area, Summit West is home to the Summit Learning Center (SLC), which offers many varieties of lessons for the whole family. It has 2 double lifts, 1 triple lift, 2 quad lifts, and 3 surface lifts.

### History

In 1933, the city of Seattle opened a city park called Municipal Park on the location which is now called Summit West. The city operated this area until 1937, when the townspeople decided Snoqualmie Pass was too far away to be run as a city park. Operations were turned over to Ski Lifts, Inc. co-owned by Jim Parker and Chauncey Griggs, who had been the concessionaire since 1937, the year they added rope tows to the park. Under the ownership of Ski Lifts, Inc. the area was renamed Snoqualmie Summit Ski Area because of its location at the top of the mountain pass. In 1942, Griggs and Parker sold Ski Lifts, Inc. to Rance Morris and Webb Moffett for $3,500. In 1955, the first double lift at what is now known as the Summit at Snoqualmie, Thunderbird, was installed. In 1963, 1966, and 1967, 3 new lifts were installed: Big Bill, 360, and Dodge Ridge, respectively. In 1969, the Beaver Lake rope tow was replaced with a double lift. In 1973, the last double chair at Snoqualmie Summit, Julie's Chair, was installed. The first two triple lifts, installed in 1974 and 1975, were Wild Side and Easy Rider. The first quad was installed in 1987, named Little Thunder, replacing three rope tows. Later Snoqualmie Summit was sold to Booth Creek, who renamed it to Summit West, and replaced the aging Big Bill lift with a quad lift called Pacific Crest, and removed the 360 Bowl and Beaver Lake lifts. In 2002, the Thunderbird lift was removed and in 2005, a pole was hauled down to the base. Then the Summit at Snoqualmie was sold to Boyne Mountain, a family owned corporation consisting of nine resorts located in the United States and Canada. In 2018, Boyne removed the Easy Rider chairlift.

Ski Lifts, Inc. acquired Ski Acres in 1980, Alpental in 1983, and Hyak in 1992, agreeing in December 1996 to sell the entire operation to Booth Creek Ski Holdings, Inc.

## Summit Central

Summit Central provides a variety of terrain and is typically the most crowded of the slopes. It is also home to a large terrain park which hosts many events throughout the season. It has 3 double lifts, 1 triple lift, 1 quad lift, 2 high-speed detachable-quads, and 1 surface lift.

### History

In 1948, the "Ski Acres" ski area was opened by Ray Tanner. The following year in 1949, the first chairlift in Washington was built. In 1962, a new lift called Alpine was installed by Ray Tanner, servicing the Alpine Bowl, a now popular hill at the resort. In 1966, another lift adjacent to Alpine, called Bonanza, was installed, servicing Golden Nugget, Hog Wild, Outback and Bonanza. In 1967, the Intermediate Chair was installed replacing a Hall T-bar, followed by Condominium (which serviced lower Hog Wild) and then Edelweiss in 1970 and 1972, respectively. In 1975, the Holiday lift was installed running on the north end of Ski Acres. In 1980, Ski Lifts, Inc. acquired Ski Acres and combined the operation with adjacent Snoqualmie Summit. In 1983, the Single Chair, installed in 1949, was replaced with triple lift called Triple 60, and the Edelweiss chair was renamed Easy Street due to a name conflict with the Edelweiss chair of Alpental, and the Intermediate Chair was renamed Gallery. In 1986, new terrain was added on the south end called Silver Fir, and in 1988, a triple chairlift of the same name was installed in the area. After the purchase by Booth Creek in 1997 Ski Acres was renamed Summit Central and the Condominium and chair was renamed Reggie's. In 1998, a high-speed quad called Central Express replaced the Alpine and Bonanza doubles. In 2008 the Silver Fir triple chair was replaced with a high-speed detachable-quad called Silver Fir Express. In 2019 the Holiday Riblet double chair was replaced with a new Doppelmayr fixed grip quad with a loading carpet. Also in 2019, lighting for Silver Fir Express is installed. In 2023, the upper and lower magic carpets were removed and a single, dual-track magic carpet was installed.

## Summit East

Summit East (also known as "Hyak") is the easternmost of the four base areas and is accessible via I-90 exit 54. A mix of intermediate and advanced runs, Summit East is where to go for glade skiing. Adjacent to the alpine ski area, the Hyak area has free cross-country skiing on groomed trails along Lake Keechelus on the Iron Horse Trail (maintained by the Washington State Parks). It has 2 triple lifts and 1 quad lift.

### History

In 1959, a new ski area was developed on the north side of Hyak Mountain by three businessmen who formed the Hyak Ski Corporation. In 1965, the up-and-over Chair 1 was constructed, and then a beginner Chair 2 in 1968, originally planned to go up "New Cut". Then, the company made some bad financial moves. On December 30, 1971, at approximately 3 p.m., Chair 1 went out of control in reverse, leaving an 18-year-old skier with permanent damage. A backup lift, Chair 3, was installed in 1974. A subsequent lawsuit, along with a bad season sent the area into bankruptcy in 1977.

The area was purchased in 1980 by Pac West and expanded terrain to the north in 1986, but they too filed bankruptcy in 1988, when Chair 1 stopped working. Pac West was one of the few ski resorts to allow snowboarding, along with Mt. Baker ski area. Bob Barci helped set up the first snowboard competition in 1985 which was won by Craig Kelly. In 1991 the area was purchased by Ski Lifts, Inc who now owned all 4 local Snoqualmie Pass ski areas. The name was then reverted to Hyak and the 3 chairs were given proper names: Chair 1 was Dinosaur, Chair 2 was Easy Gold, and Chair 3 was Keechelus. In 1998, Booth Creek purchased the areas from Ski Lifts, Inc, and Hyak then became Summit East.

On January 7, 2009, a large landslide destroyed the Keechelus ski lift, one house and damaged 3 others, which ended downhill skiing and snowboarding for the rest of the 2008–2009 season and the entire 2009–2010 season. Alpine operations returned for the 2010–2011 season with the installation of the used Silver Fir triple chair from Summit Central on the front side as well as reopening terrain in Hidden Valley re-using a combination of parts from the old Keechelus and Easy Gold double chairs.

On May 15, 2014, The Summit at Snoqualmie announced that the ski resort will start construction of a new chairlift in the spring. Rampart Chair was opened for the 2015/2016 winter season with construction starting in June 2014. The fixed-grip quad chair featuring an easy-load conveyor system was built and installed by SkyTrac, an American chairlift company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Rampart chairlift was a long-awaited addition to Summit East and increased uphill capacity substantially while opening up a sizable portion of glade skiing in the area. The chairlift is located on the northern facing slopes of the Summit East ski area.

The new chair was constructed at Summit East in the summer of 2014 and is a fixed-grip quad. It was proposed to open for the 14-15 ski season, but due to lack of snow and storm damage, it was unable to be used. It opened on New Years Day 2016.

In April 2022, The Summit at Snoqualmie released its Summit 2030 Plan, and announced that a triple lift replacing the Hidden Valley double that summer. Hidden Valley opened on Dec 28, 2022.

## Cross-Country Skiing

The Summit at Snoqualmie operates over 50 kilometers of Nordic ski trails. The Nordic center typically operates mid-December to early April. The Nordic center is located at Summit East. Trails feature two warming huts along the trail. The Jim Brooks warming hut is located over Windy Pass (on the west side). There is another hut located at Grand Junction.

In addition to the cross-country ski trails at the Summit at Snoqualmie, there are several miles of cross-country ski trails that are maintained by Washington State Parks and are accessible from the Sno-Park adjacent to the Summit East base area.

## Other activities

The Summit Tubing Center, adjacent to Summit Central, has 20 machine-groomed lanes. The runs are approximately five hundred feet long and use magic carpets, which replaced two handle-tow lines.

During the skiing off-season, several parts of the ski area are open for other recreational uses. A summertime mountain bike park opened in 2022 and uses the Silver Fir Express and Central Express lifts. It replaced an earlier mountain biking area that closed in 2002. The Pacific Crest chair lift runs during the summer months to provide scenic views and access to hiking areas. A nine-hole disc golf course opened at Summit West in 2024.

The Summit at Snoqualmie offers shuttle bus service from the Rattlesnake Lake trailhead of the Palouse to Cascades Trail to the Hyak trailhead. It also offers shuttle service from the Summit Bike Park at Silver Fir to the Hyak trailhead. Its main purpose was to make the trail more accessible and convenient to reach, as going eastbound on the trail required going uphill for most of the time.

## Summit 2030

In April 2022, the Summit at Snoqualmie released the Summit 2030 plan, and is the "Future of Your Home Mountain." They said that between 2022 and 2030, there will be many major improvements, "enhancing the experience from Summit East to the top of Alpental." The plan has 5 major projects: Summit Transformed, Summit Summers, ForeverProject, Alpental Aspect, and Easier Escapes.

### Summit Transformed

Summit Transformed is arguably the largest and most important of the five projects. It includes lift upgrades, more snowmaking, and lodge upgrades.

### The Alpental Aspect

Alpental is best known for its expert terrain in contrast with intermediate runs under the cliff, but its lifts are aging, and capacity is very low. They announced 2 new lifts and one lift upgrade. The Sessel chairlift was completed in the summer of 2023 and the addition of new chairs on Armstrong Express were also completed in the same year. Internationale is set to be built in the summer of 2024.

### Summit Summers

Originally, the Summit at Snoqualmie was a winter resort, but integrated some summer activities like music and scenic lift rides. The Summit continues to plan on opening new summer activities.

# The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel

***The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel*** is a popular mathematics book on Jorge Luis Borges and mathematics. It describes several mathematical concepts related to the short story "The Library of Babel", by Jorge Luis Borges. Written by mathematics professor William Goldbloom Bloch, and published in 2008 by the Oxford University Press, it received an honorable mention in the 2008 PROSE Awards.

## Topics

"The Library of Babel" was originally written by Borges in 1941, based on an earlier essay he had published in 1939 while working as a librarian. It concerns a fictional library containing every possible book of a certain fixed length, over a 25-symbol alphabet (which, including spacing and punctuation, is sufficient for the Spanish language). These assumptions, based on the dimensions of his own library and spelled out in more detail in the story, imply that the total number of books in the library is 251312000, an enormous number. The story also describes, with an attitude of some horror, the physical layout of the library that holds all of these books, and some of the behavior of its inhabitants.

After a copy of "The Library of Babel" itself, as translated into English by Andrew Hurley, *The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel* has seven chapters on its mathematics. The first chapter, on combinatorics, repeats the calculation above, of the number of books in the library, putting it in context with the size of the known universe and with other huge numbers, and uses this material as an excuse to branch off into a discussion of logarithms and their use in estimation. The second chapter concerns a line in the story about the existence of a library catalog for the library, using information theory to prove that such a catalog would necessarily equal in size the library itself, and touching on topics including the prime number theorem. The third chapter considers the mathematics of the infinite, and the possibility of books with infinitely many, infinitely thin pages, connecting these topics both to a footnote in "The Library of Babel" and to another Borges story, "The Book of Sand", about such an infinite book.

Chapters four and five concern the architecture of the library, described as a set of interconnected hexagonal rooms, exploring the possibilities for their connections in terms of geometry, topology, and graph theory. They also use mathematics to deduce unexpected conclusions about the library's structure: it must have at least one room whose shelves are not full (because the number of books per room does not divide the total number of books evenly), and the rooms on each floor of the library must either be connected into a single Hamiltonian cycle, or possibly be disconnected into subsets that cannot reach each other. Chapter six considers the ways the books might be distributed through these rooms, and chapter seven views the library and its interactions with its inhabitants as analogous to Turing machines. A concluding chapter provides references to the literature on the story, critiques the scholarship on this story from the point of view of its mathematics, and discusses how much of this mathematics might have been familiar to Borges.

Author William Bloch, a mathematics professor at Wheaton College (Massachusetts), says that his book was originally intended as a short paper, based on his research from a sabbatical visit to Borges's home city Buenos Aires, but that it "grew and grew and grew". The endpapers of the book are decorated with reproductions of Borges's original manuscript for his story.

## Audience and reception

Reading *The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel* requires only high-school mathematics, and its chapters are independent of each other and can be read in any order. Although written for a popular audience, it has enough depth of content to interest professional mathematicians as well.

The book's reviewers point to some minor issues with the book, including a too-facile derivation of the (correct) conclusion that an index for the library would be as large as the library itself, a miscalculation of the number of permutations of books that are possible, a missed easy explanation of logarithms as approximating the number of digits in a number, an incorrect statement that a book with infinitely many infinitely thin pages would necessarily itself be infinitely thin, the choice for an example of a letter that does not appear in Borges's descriptions, and a failure to address the Spanish-language literature on Borges's work.

Nevertheless, reviewer James V. Rauff calls it "a treat for anyone with a passion for infinity, logic, language, and the philosophy of mathematics". And reviewer Dan King, who himself has taught the mathematics of Borges's writing, writes that the book is "as eloquent and provocative as Borges’ story itself", and a must-read for all fans of Borges.
