Hudson Minnesota Supreme Court Musical Selection Lumina Memorials Presented to the Court Kathleen M. Murphy Chair, Bar Memorial Committee Presentation Accepted Court Adjourned Music by Laurie Leigh Harpist April 30, 2021 Presented by the Hennepin County Bar Association in collaboration with the Hennepin County District Court ABOUT THE BAR MEMORIAL The Hennepin County Bar Association and its Bar Memorial Committee welcome you to this Special Session of the Hennepin County District Court to honor members of our profession with ties to Hennepin County who passed away. We have traced the history of our Bar Memorial back to at least 1898, in a courthouse that is long gone, but had a beauty and charm that made it a fitting location for this gathering. We say “at least 1898,” because there is speculation that the practice of offering annual unwritten memorials began in 1857. Regardless of its date of origin, the Bar Memorial is now well into its second century, and it is a tradition that is certain to continue simply because it is right— and it is good. Buildings come and go, but the Bar Memorial has always found a suitable home, including in the chambers of the Minneapolis City Council, the boardroom of the Hennepin County Commissioners, and in Judge James Rosenbaum’s magnificent courtroom.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule for Commercial Truck Drivers and the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate
    The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule for Commercial Truck Drivers and the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate David Randall Peterman Analyst in Transportation Policy March 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R46276 SUMMARY R46276 The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule March 18, 2020 for Commercial Truck Drivers and the David Randall Peterman Analyst in Transportation Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate Policy In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, on March 13, 2020, the Department of Transportation [email protected] (DOT) issued a national emergency declaration to exempt from the Hours of Service (HOS) rule through April 12, 2020, commercial drivers providing direct assistance in support of relief efforts For a copy of the full report, related to the virus. This includes transport of certain supplies and equipment, as well as please call 7-.... or visit personnel. Drivers are still required to have at least 10 consecutive hours off duty (eight hours if www.crs.gov. transporting passengers) before returning to duty. It has been estimated that up to 20% of bus and large truck crashes in the United States involve fatigued drivers. In order to promote safety by reducing the incidence of fatigue among commercial drivers, federal law limits the number of hours a driver can drive through the HOS rule. Currently the HOS rule allows truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, during which time they can drive up to 11 hours, followed by at least 10 hours off duty before coming on duty again; also, within the first 8 hours on duty drivers must take a 30-minute break in order to continue driving beyond 8 hours.

  • Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones
    Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones James F. Campbell*, Donald C. Sweeney II, Juan Zhang College of Business Administration University of Missouri – St. Louis One University Blvd St. Louis, MO USA Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] April 17, 2017 Supply Chain & Analytics Report SCMA-2017-0201 College of Business Administration University of Missouri-St. Louis St. Louis, MO 63121 * Corresponding author Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones Abstract Home delivery by drones as an alternative or complement to traditional delivery by trucks is attracting considerable attention from major retailers and service providers (Amazon, UPS, Google, DHL, Wal- mart, etc.), as well as several startups. While drone delivery may offer considerable economic savings, the fundamental issues of how best to deploy drones for home delivery are not well understood. Our research provides a strategic analysis for the design of hybrid truck-drone delivery systems using continuous approximation modeling techniques to derive general insights. We formulate and optimize models of hybrid truck-drone delivery, where truck-based drones make deliveries simultaneously with trucks, and compare their performance to truck-only delivery. Our results suggest that truck-drone delivery can be very advantageous economically in many settings, especially with multiple drones per truck, but that the benefits depend strongly on the relative operating costs and marginal stop costs. 1. Introduction Home delivery by drones is being promoted and researched by a growing number of firms, including Amazon, UPS, Google DHL and Wal-mart, as a possible alternative or complement to traditional delivery by trucks.

  • What Truck Stop Operators Need to Know About Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) by Chad Johnson, [email protected]
    What Truck Stop Operators Need to Know about Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) By Chad Johnson, [email protected] © December 2012 by Gilbarco Inc. SP-3335C Overview Since January 1, 2010, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required diesel vehicles to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions significantly. Because of the stringent requirement, most trucks have committed to using Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR). SCR reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by converting it into harmless nitrogen through the use of a special catalytic converter and a non-explosive, non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based urea solution called Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). As a result of the new EPA regulation, all truck OEMs have been using a form of NOx emission reduction for their fleets since 2010. Two methods have been deployed to meet the stringent requirements: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) – with SCR having been the most widely used application. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) SCR reduces tailpipe nitrogen oxide emissions by treating the exhaust stream with a spray of DEF, along with a catalyst that converts NOx into nitrogen and water, which are harmless and present in the air. To reduce NOx, a small amount of DEF is injected directly into the exhaust upstream of a catalytic converter. The DEF vaporizes and decomposes to form ammonia (NH3), which in conjunction with the SCR catalyst reacts with NOx to convert the pollutant into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O). Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) NOx formation is a function of the high combustion temperature in diesel engines. The hotter the combustion temperature, exponentially more NOx is created from oxygen and nitrogen molecules.

  • HOW the NEW REGULATIONS AFFECT YOU United States and Canada
    IDLE TALK: HOW THE NEW REGULATIONS AFFECT YOU United States and Canada Updated: March, 2007 ntil recently, diesel truck idling has been standard operating procedure. But stricter idling regulations are Ubecoming more common in many regions, and more rules are guaranteed. This guide explains the situation and offers a summary of current idling regulations so you and your drivers won’t be caught off-guard. A U.S. state-by-state overview of regulations starts on page 5 of this guide, and a list of Canadian regulations on page 11. For background information on truck idling, emerging regulations and what you can do to comply, read on: NEW INFORMATION, LEGISLATION AND BETTER ALTERNATIVES Engine wear and tear. Fleet owners who track idling time discover that engines designed for moving heavy loads at highway speeds often spend around 50% of their life running systems that require a small fraction of their muscle. Idling a heavy- duty diesel engine to operate lights and an air conditioner drives higher fuel and maintenance costs. Fuel costs. High-priced diesel fuel makes extended idling a high-cost activity worth reducing. A large idling diesel engine can consume up to 1.5 gallons per hour. Regulation. Some people are sensitive to the exhaust that idling diesel engines can produce. Large engines at idle also make a low-frequency rumbling sound that many find objectionable. Under certain conditions, these residual effects of idling could be considered public nuisances making further regulation inevitable. Alternatives. Auxiliary power units (APUs), such as the Cummins ComfortGuard™ APU System, can provide a far less expensive, dependable source of energy for equipment used by a resting or parked trucker, thereby virtually eliminating the need for idling.
