Lesson: How to Design a Combined Sewer / Stormwater Pump Station

## Introduction

A combined sewer / stormwater pump station is a crucial component of any city's drainage system. It helps to manage the flow of water during heavy rainfall or when the sewage system is overwhelmed. In this lesson, we will learn about the design and function of a combined sewer / stormwater pump station. We will cover the following topics:

1. Importance of a Combined Sewer / Stormwater Pump Station
2. Capacity and Flow Rate
3. Pumps and Motors
4. Wet Wells and Screens
5. Power Supply and Back-Up Systems
6. Maintenance and Spare Parts
7. Safety and Aesthetics

## Importance of a Combined Sewer / Stormwater Pump Station

A combined sewer / stormwater pump station is essential for managing the flow of water in a city. It helps to prevent flooding and maintain a safe and healthy environment for residents. The pump station collects both sewage and stormwater runoff and pumps it to a treatment plant or a nearby waterbody. This process helps to reduce the risk of flooding and protect the city's infrastructure from damage.

## Capacity and Flow Rate

The capacity of a combined sewer / stormwater pump station is measured in million gallons per day (MGD) or cubic feet per second (CFS). The station's design should take into account the maximum flow rate it will experience during heavy rainfall or when the sewage system is overwhelmed. For example, the City of Lathrop's combined sewer / stormwater pump station has a capacity of 7.7 MGD and a peak stormwater flow rate of 300 CFS.

## Pumps and Motors

The pumps used in a combined sewer / stormwater pump station are typically submersible pumps with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control their speed. The pumps should be powerful enough to handle the maximum flow rate but not too large to increase energy costs unnecessarily. In the City of Lathrop's pump station, there are four 90 HP VFD submersible pumps with a full speed capacity of 1,800 gpm each.

## Wet Wells and Screens

Wet wells are used to store and temporarily hold water before it is pumped out of the pump station. They should be made of cast-in-place reinforced concrete to ensure their durability and strength. The wet wells should also have mechanically-cleaned bar screens to remove debris and trash from the water before it enters the pumps. This helps to prevent damage to the pumps and maintain their efficiency.

## Power Supply and Back-Up Systems

The power supply for a combined sewer / stormwater pump station should be reliable and have an automated transfer switch to ensure that the station continues to operate even if there is a power outage. The City of Lathrop's pump station has an automated transfer switch and backup power supply to ensure that it can continue to operate during emergencies.

## Maintenance and Spare Parts

To minimize downtime and maintenance costs, the pump station should use pumps and motors that are identical and can be easily replaced with spare parts. The City of Lathrop's pump station uses multiple and identical pumps to simplify operation and maintenance and also reduce spare parts inventory.

## Safety and Aesthetics

The pump station should be designed with safety in mind, including guardrails, safety equipment, and emergency power supplies. Additionally, the station should be aesthetically pleasing to blend in with the surrounding development. In the City of Lathrop's pump station, there is an aesthetically pleasing masonry wall enclosed operations area.

## Conclusion

In summary, a combined sewer / stormwater pump station is an essential component of any city's drainage system. It helps to manage the flow of water during heavy rainfall or when the sewage system is overwhelmed. The station's design should consider its capacity, flow rate, pumps and motors, wet wells and screens, power supply, maintenance, and safety. By understanding these factors, engineers can design an efficient and effective pump station that meets the needs of the community.

Q:

How to change progress bar progress color?

I created this progress bar for my app, but I cant get that yellow orangy color that appears to change to something like red or blue.
<ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
        style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
        android:layout_width="250sp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:progress="2"
        android:layout_marginTop="82dp"
        android:max="3"
        android:indeterminate="false"
        android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

above is my progress bar xml code.
Any help guys? :)
Thanks so much in advance! :)

A:

If android version is 5.0 and above you just need to set
android:indeterminateTint="@color/BLACK"
android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"

For lower version I use this
mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(getResources()
.getColor(R.color.primary_color),PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

A:

Create a new XML file in your drawable folder called something like custom_progress_bar.xml and paste this there:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Define the background properties like color etc -->
    <item android:id="@android:id/background">
        <clip>
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="#000000" />
            </shape>
        </clip>
    </item>
    <!-- Define the progress properties like start color, end color etc -->
    <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
        <clip>
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
            </shape>
        </clip>
    </item>

</layer-list>

And in your <ProgressBar> add this attribute:
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/custom_progress_bar"

Change the 2 colors to your own preference. I put #FFFFFF and #000000 which are white and black.

A:

Go to your styles.xml and change the colorAccent value from your base application theme e.g.
<item name="colorAccent">{COLOR}</item>
I am using minSdkVersion 15 and it worked for me.

Lesson Title: Understanding Progress Bars in Android Apps

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn about Progress Bars in Android apps. A Progress Bar is a UI component that displays the progress of a task or operation. It can be used to show the percentage of completion or the amount of time remaining until the task is complete. Progress Bars are commonly used in apps that require long-running tasks, such as downloading files or uploading data.

Core Value:

The core value of this lesson is to understand the different types of Progress Bars, their properties, and how to customize them to fit the needs of your app.

Section 1: Introduction to Progress Bars

Topic 1: Types of Progress Bars

There are two types of Progress Bars in Android: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal Progress Bar appears as a bar that fills from left to right, while the vertical Progress Bar appears as a bar that fills from top to bottom.

Topic 2: Properties of Progress Bars

The properties of a Progress Bar include the maximum value, the current value, and the color of the progress. The maximum value represents the maximum amount of progress that can be made, while the current value represents the current position of the progress. The color of the progress can be changed to indicate the status of the task.

Section 2: Customizing Progress Bars

Topic 1: Changing the Color of the Progress

To change the color of the progress, you can use the `indeterminateTint` property. This property takes a color resource ID as its value, which sets the tint color for the progress.

Topic 2: Changing the Indeterminate State

To change the indeterminate state of the Progress Bar, you can use the `indeterminate` property. This property takes a boolean value as its value, which sets whether the Progress Bar is in an indeterminate state or not.

Section 3: Examples

Example 1: Horizontal Progress Bar

```xml
<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
    style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="250sp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:progress="2"
    android:max="3"
    android:indeterminate="false" />
```

Example 2: Vertical Progress Bar

```xml
<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
    style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
    android:layout_width="250sp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:progress="2"
    android:max="3"
    android:indeterminate="false" />
```

Example 3: Changing the Color of the Progress

```java
mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.primary_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
```

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the different types of Progress Bars, their properties, and how to customize them to fit the needs of our app. We also saw examples of how to create both horizontal and vertical Progress Bars, as well as how to change the color of the progress. By understanding these concepts, we can create more engaging and user-friendly apps that provide feedback on the progress of tasks.

"We believe that Ukraine is a breath of fresh air for Europe," stated Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop Borys Gudziak and Professor Myroslav Marynovych, former Gulag political prisoner.

“Ukraine is not a trouble spot, but a partner offering a vision, a reminder of the original European spirit: youth, dynamism, and a profound belief in the principles and values that found the European project.”

“The Ukrainian youth carry this vision, and have been martyred for this same hope. What is Europe’s answer to them?”

Maidan, the space for political expression on Independence Square in Kiev, and replicated in scores of Ukrainian cities and communities worldwide is in fact an “Agora,” a place to discuss, exchange ideas, create consensus.

“The Maidan movement, encompassing all levels of Ukrainian society and all religious traditions,” said Myroslav Marynovych, “is not ending. There is no going back.”

“It is the voice of the people calling for profound change in Ukraine, not simply to rotate the faces in a quasi-Soviet political structure, but a movement to see true democratic structures in place as in the tradition of European democracy.”

“The opportunity that Ukraine and the ongoing democratic processes present might also be an example to Russians as how to move towards democracy.”

Bishop Borys Gudziak concluded by saying: “We see a great historical shift, a deep movement within the Ukrainian society, a passage from fear to dignity.”

“In fact this revolution is called the ‘Revolution of Dignity.’ The resistance to the Yanukovych regime helped people claim their dignity; the invasion of Crimea is helping the people claim their sense of national identity.”

“In these days of heavy political decisions, we came to the EU to help them help us,” said Bishop Gudziak, “to let them know how young Ukrainians are the best guarantee for Europe’s peace and prosperity.”

Bishop Borys Gudziak, the Greek Catholic Eparch for France, Benelux and Switzerland, and Professor Myroslav Marynovych, a leading moral authority in Ukraine, are respectively President and vice-Rector of the Catholic University of Lviv.

With the support of Aid to the Church in Need, they were in Brussels to update policy makers about the situation in Ukraine, the reality on the ground and the potential impact of Europe’s immediate and future policy decisions.

Lesson: Introduction to Multichild Strollers

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A multichild stroller is a type of stroller designed to accommodate multiple children at once. It is an essential piece of equipment for parents and caregivers who have more than one child to take care of while out and about. In this lesson, we will learn about the features of multichild strollers and why they are beneficial for parents and caregivers.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Let's imagine that you have two children, ages 3 and 5. You need to take them both to the park for a day of fun. However, you do not want to carry both children in separate strollers, as it would be difficult to maneuver and could get tiring quickly. Instead, you decide to purchase a multichild stroller that can accommodate both children comfortably. This allows you to take both children to the park without any hassle.

Another example is a family with triplets. It would be impractical for them to carry three separate strollers everywhere they go. A multichild stroller would be ideal for them, as it can accommodate all three children comfortably.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Why are multichild strollers beneficial for parents and caregivers?
- They allow parents and caregivers to transport multiple children at once, making it easier to take them out and about.
- They can be more cost-effective than purchasing multiple separate strollers.
- They can be more convenient, as parents and caregivers only have to deal with one stroller instead of multiple.

What are some features to look for when purchasing a multichild stroller?
- Comfortable seating for the children
- Durable materials that can withstand wear and tear
- Convenient features such as quick folding and storage
- Large canopies to shield children from harmful UV rays
- Adjustable harnesses to ensure children are securely fastened in their seats

## Glossary

- Multichild stroller: A type of stroller designed to accommodate multiple children at once.
- Canopy: A protective covering that shields children from the sun, rain, or other elements.
- Harness: A safety feature that secures children in their seats to prevent them from falling out.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, multichild strollers are an essential piece of equipment for parents and caregivers who have more than one child to take care of while out and about. They are comfortable, durable, and convenient, making them ideal for families with multiple children. By learning about the features of multichild strollers and why they are beneficial, parents and caregivers can make informed decisions when purchasing a stroller for their family.

Title: Malaria - A Global Health Issue

## Introduction
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is a global health issue that affects millions of people, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. In this lesson, we will explore the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of malaria.

## Causes
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. There are five species of Plasmodium that can infect humans, but only P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae cause malaria. These parasites are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a person, it injects the Plasmodium parasites into the bloodstream. The parasites then travel to the liver, where they multiply and produce a protein called gametocyte, which is taken up by another mosquito when it bites the infected person. The gametocyte develops into male and female gametes, which fuse to form a zygote, which then develops into a new generation of parasites.

## Symptoms
The symptoms of malaria can vary depending on the species of Plasmodium and the individual's immune response. Common symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, malaria can cause anemia, respiratory distress, organ failure, and even death.

## Prevention
Preventing malaria is crucial in controlling its spread. There are several ways to prevent malaria, including:

1. Using insecticide-treated bed nets: These nets are treated with insecticides that kill or repel mosquitoes, reducing the risk of mosquito bites and transmission of the Plasmodium parasites.

2. Using antimalarial medications: Travelers to malaria-endemic areas can take antimalarial medications to prevent infection. These medications are usually taken daily for a specified period before, during, and after travel.

3. Environmental management: Reducing mosquito breeding sites around homes and communities can help control mosquito populations and reduce the risk of malaria transmission. This includes eliminating standing water, improving waste disposal, and using larvicides.

4. Vaccines: Although there is currently no fully effective malaria vaccine, research is ongoing, and several candidates are in development.

## Treatment
Treatment for malaria depends on the severity of the disease and the species of Plasmodium involved. Antimalarial medications are used to treat the infection and can be administered intravenously for severe cases. In some cases, additional supportive care, such as fluid replacement and oxygen therapy, may be necessary.

## Conclusion
Malaria is a global health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of malaria is essential for controlling its spread and reducing its impact on affected populations. By taking preventive measures and seeking prompt medical attention, individuals can reduce their risk of contracting and suffering from malaria.

Lesson: How to Analyze and Evaluate Video Game Teasers

Introduction:
Video game teasers are designed to create hype and excitement for upcoming games. However, not all teasers are created equal. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze and evaluate video game teasers to determine their potential for being interesting or not.

Section 1: Analyzing Video Game Teasers

Topic 1: Understanding the Teaser
A teaser is a short clip or trailer that showcases a game's visuals, sound, and possibly gameplay. It is designed to give players a taste of what's to come without revealing too much information. To analyze a teaser, we need to look at its visuals, audio, and any gameplay footage it contains. We also need to consider the context in which the teaser was released, such as the timing and location of its debut.

Topic 2: Evaluating the Teaser's Content
Once we have analyzed the teaser's content, we need to evaluate whether it is interesting or not. There are several factors to consider when evaluating a teaser's content:

- Visuals: Are the graphics appealing? Do they look realistic or stylized?
- Audio: Is the music or sound design engaging? Does it fit the game's theme?
- Gameplay: Is the gameplay footage shown engaging? Does it look fun to play?
- Context: Is the teaser released at an appropriate time and place? Does it generate hype and excitement?

Section 2: Applying Critical Thinking Skills

Topic 1: Identifying Red Flags
Even if a teaser looks interesting at first glance, there may be red flags that indicate it won't be interesting in the end. Some red flags to look out for include:

- Overhyped marketing: If the marketing for the game has been overly enthusiastic, it may be a sign that the game itself won't live up to the hype.
- Poor track record: If the developer has a history of releasing subpar games, it's likely that the new game will follow suit.
- Unoriginal concept: If the game's concept seems unoriginal or clichéd, it may not be interesting.

Topic 2: Debating the Teaser's Potential
Once we have identified potential red flags, we can debate whether the teaser has the potential to be interesting or not. To do this, we need to consider the following:

- Does the teaser showcase unique visuals, audio, or gameplay that sets it apart from other games?
- Does the game's concept have the potential to be engaging and innovative?
- Does the developer have a track record of releasing quality games?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to analyze and evaluate video game teasers by looking at their visuals, audio, gameplay footage, and context. We also applied critical thinking skills to identify potential red flags and debate the teaser's potential for being interesting or not. By understanding these factors, we can better evaluate future video game teasers and determine whether they are worth our time and money.

# Lesson: Understanding Office Space Leasing

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of office space leasing. We will cover the different types of office spaces, the factors to consider when leasing an office space, and the steps involved in leasing an office space. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the process of leasing an office space and make informed decisions when it comes to choosing the right office space for your business.

## Section 1: Types of Office Spaces

### Topic 1: What are the different types of office spaces?
Office spaces come in different types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common types of office spaces:

1. Coworking spaces: These are shared workspaces where individuals or teams can rent desks or offices on a short-term basis. They are popular among freelancers, startups, and small businesses that want to reduce their overhead costs.

2. Executive suites: These are fully furnished and equipped offices that are available for rent on a short-term basis. They are ideal for businesses that need temporary office space or those that are expanding quickly.

3. Virtual offices: These are remote workspaces where you can rent a business address, phone number, and other virtual office services without actually having a physical office. They are ideal for businesses that operate remotely or have employees working from different locations.

4. Traditional office spaces: These are long-term leases for a specific office space that is exclusively used by one business. They are ideal for businesses that require a permanent office space with customizable features.

### Topic 2: What are the different types of office layouts?
Office layouts refer to the way the office space is arranged and designed. Here are some of the most common types of office layouts:

1. Private offices: These are individual offices that are assigned to specific employees. They are ideal for businesses that value privacy and individual work.

2. Open plan: These are office spaces that have no physical barriers between workstations. They are ideal for businesses that promote collaboration and teamwork.

3. Cubicles: These are small, enclosed workstations that are typically found in open plan offices. They provide some degree of privacy while still allowing for collaboration.

4. Hot desking: This is a flexible work arrangement where employees do not have assigned workstations. Instead, they can choose any available desk whenever they come into the office.

## Section 2: Factors to Consider When Leasing an Office Space

### Topic 1: What factors should I consider when leasing an office space?
When leasing an office space, there are several factors you should consider to ensure that you get the best possible deal. Here are some of the most important factors:

1. Location: The location of the office space is crucial. You want a space that is easily accessible to your employees and clients.

2. Size: The size of the office space should be based on your current needs and future growth plans. Make sure you get a space that is big enough to accommodate your current team and any future expansion.

3. Amenities: Consider the amenities that the office space offers. For example, does it have meeting rooms, breakout areas, or a cafeteria?

4. Cost: The cost of the office space includes the rent, utilities, and other expenses. Make sure you get a clear understanding of all the costs involved before signing the lease.

5. Terms: The terms of the lease should be negotiated carefully. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before signing the lease.

### Topic 2: How can I negotiate a better lease agreement?
Negotiating a better lease agreement involves understanding the terms of the lease and being aware of your rights as a tenant. Here are some tips for negotiating a better lease agreement:

1. Ask for concessions: Ask the landlord to provide concessions such as free rent for a certain period or reduced rent during the first year.

2. Negotiate the length of the lease: Try to negotiate a shorter lease term if you are not sure about the long-term viability of your business.

3. Request for tenant improvements: Ask the landlord to provide tenant improvements such as painting, carpeting, or installing new lighting fixtures.

4. Negotiate the rent: Try to negotiate a lower rent if the market rate for similar office spaces in the area is lower than the asking rent.

5. Review the terms of the lease carefully: Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions of the lease before signing it. If you are unsure about anything, consult with a legal expert.

## Section 3: Steps Involved in Leasing an Office Space

### Topic 1: What are the steps involved in leasing an office space?
Leasing an office space involves several steps that need to be followed carefully to ensure a smooth and successful lease agreement. Here are the steps involved in leasing an office space:

1. Determine your needs: Before starting the lease process, you need to determine your needs. This includes the size of the office space, the location, and the amenities you require.

2. Search for office spaces: Once you know your requirements, you can start searching for office spaces that meet your needs. You can use online platforms, real estate agents, or visit commercial buildings to find suitable office spaces.

3. Evaluate the office spaces: After finding potential office spaces, you need to evaluate them to determine which one is the best fit for your business. This involves evaluating the location, size, amenities, and cost of each office space.

4. Negotiate the lease: Once you have identified the ideal office space, you need to negotiate the lease agreement with the landlord. This involves discussing the terms and conditions, rent, and any concessions or improvements that the landlord may provide.

5. Finalize the lease: After negotiating the lease, you need to finalize the agreement. This involves signing the lease and paying any required fees or deposits.

### Topic 2: What documents do I need to lease an office space?
To lease an office space, you will need to provide certain documents to the landlord. These documents may include:

1. Letter of intent: This document outlines your intent to lease the office space and sets out the basic terms and conditions of the lease.

2. Credit report: Landlords may request your credit report to assess your creditworthiness and ability to pay rent.

3. Personal financial statement: Landlords may also request your personal financial statement to verify your income and assets.

4. Business plan: A business plan outlines your business goals, strategies, and financial projections, which can help the landlord assess your business viability.

5. Guarantor letter: If you do not meet the landlord's credit requirements, you may need to provide a guarantor letter from someone who does meet the requirements.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the different types of office spaces, the factors to consider when leasing an office space, and the steps involved in leasing an office space. We also discussed the importance of negotiating a better lease agreement and the documents required to lease an office space.

Obama, the lying liar

One of the tropes at which I’ve hammered relentlessly since Obama first threw his hat into the presidential ring is that he’s completely and compulsively dishonest. Here’s just a partial list of my posts making that point:

If there can be said to be an “Obama lies” train, I boarded it before it left the station. No one can call me a Johnny-come-lately to this one.

That I saw what was happening from the beginning doesn’t mean that I’m not delighted when other people finally figure it out. Sure, I’m a little perplexed by their slow learning curve, considering all the evidence before them for years now, but I still enjoy it when people see the light. People like Merrill Matthews, for example, a contributor to Forbes:

I have come to the point that I cannot believe a thing President Obama says. That’s not quite the same as saying I don’t believe anything he says. When he speaks he may be telling the truth, he may not be, or he may be parsing his words to mislead. But it’s impossible to know which is which?

Matthews then provides chapter and verse for myriad Obama lies. Not all of them, of course, because that’s a book, or perhaps a five-volume series, not just an article. Still, it makes for illuminating reading lest there be anyone out there who hasn’t yet realized that Obama is a narcissist who has only one truth: “I, Barack Hussein Obama, am always correct and virtuous.” Anything that does not protect this core ego identity must be shaped in a way so that, eventually, it does.

With respect to Syria, the president tells us there will be no U.S. boots on the ground. Um, would that be like:

Health insurance premiums for a family would be $2,500 lower by the end of his first term in office. They were actually about $3,000 higher.

The Obama administration was not responsible for proposing the budget sequester idea.Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward challenged this claim and forced the administration to backtrack.

Money from the nearly $800 billion stimulus package would be spent on “shovel-ready projects” and unemployment would drop to 5.3 percent by the end of his first term. The president later conceded the projects weren’t as shovel ready as he had hoped and unemployment was 7.9 percent.

There was nothing Obama could do about Benghazi. Subsequent revelations and congressional testimony have shown just how disengaged or disinterested the administration was.

The Justice Department told a judge that Fox News reporter James Rosen was a “co-conspirator” and a security threat? The DOJ later apologized and tried to make amends with Washington reporters.

That Attorney General Eric Holder didn’t know about the Fast and Furious gun-running program? Investigators have found documents confirming that he did have knowledge.

Lesson: Introduction to Climbing

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Climbing is an activity that involves using one's hands and feet to scale a vertical surface, such as a rock face or a building. It requires strength, agility, and mental focus to navigate challenging terrain and overcome obstacles. There are different types of climbing, including top-rope, sport, and trad climbing. In top-rope climbing, a rope is attached to an anchor at the top of the wall, and the climber is secured by a harness and rope that runs through a belay device. In sport climbing, bolts are placed in the wall for protection, and climbers use specialized equipment to clip into these bolts as they climb. Trad climbing involves placing your own protection as you climb, usually in the form of removable gear such as nuts or cams.

It didn’t take long for this week’s announcement that Roberto Luongo had joined the Florida Panthers’ front office for folks in Vancouver to ask the question.

Listen, I hope Canucks fans still have a place in their hearts for everything BobbyLu did for them during his time there.

But it’s those salary cap recapture penalties his contract left behind for the Canucks to carry the next three seasons — $3.03 million per year charged against Vancouver’s salary cap through 2021-22 — that don’t sit well for a lot of Canucks fans. And that’s understandable.

Especially when you consider how every dime under the cap is going to become more and more valuable for an exciting, young Canucks team that’s going to need to pay their kids.

Those cap recapture charges are remnants of the 12-year, $64-million contract signed a decade ago. Luongo’s decision to retire with three years left on the deal means...

Lesson: How to Understand Salary Cap Recapture Penalties in the NHL

## Introduction

The National Hockey League (NHL) has a strict salary cap that limits the amount of money teams can spend on player contracts. This helps to ensure competitive balance among teams and prevent any one team from having an unfair advantage. However, sometimes players retire or are traded, leaving their contracts on the books of their former teams. These contracts can come with salary cap recapture penalties, which can affect a team's ability to sign new players. In this lesson, we will learn about salary cap recapture penalties, how they work, and why they matter in the NHL.

## Section 1: What are Salary Cap Recapture Penalties?

Salary cap recapture penalties are financial penalties imposed by the NHL on teams that sign free agents to long-term contracts. These penalties are designed to discourage teams from giving out large, front-loaded contracts that distort the salary cap in future years. The penalties are calculated as a percentage of the remaining salary owed to the player, and are spread out over the remaining years of the contract.

## Section 2: How do Salary Cap Recapture Penalties Work?

When a player retires or is traded, their contract remains on the books of their former team. However, if the team signs a new player to a contract that exceeds the salary cap, they must pay a penalty equal to the remaining salary owed to the retired player. This penalty is calculated as a percentage of the remaining salary, and is spread out over the remaining years of the contract. For example, if a team signs a player to a five-year, $50 million contract, and the player retires after two years, leaving $10 million owing on the contract, the team would owe a salary cap recapture penalty of 2/5 x $10 million = $4 million. This penalty would be spread out over the remaining three years of the contract, at a rate of $4 million divided by three years, or $1.33 million per year.

## Section 3: Why do Salary Cap Recapture Penalties Matter?

Salary cap recapture penalties matter because they can have a significant impact on a team's ability to sign new players. If a team has multiple long-term contracts with large salaries, they may find themselves unable to sign new players, or may have to trade away existing players to make room under the salary cap. This can limit a team's flexibility and hinder their ability to compete in the NHL. Additionally, salary cap recapture penalties can create a disincentive for teams to sign older players to long-term contracts, as the penalties can be significant and can affect a team's salary cap for several years.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, salary cap recapture penalties are an important part of the NHL's salary cap system. They help to ensure competitive balance among teams and prevent any one team from having an unfair advantage. By understanding how these penalties work and why they matter, we can better appreciate the complexities of the NHL's salary cap system and its impact on team building and roster management.
