Erisian wrote: When you install the patch, there is a box for map fixes that says "leave unchecked if installing over a large mod" I had to check this because I am playing Mandate and the door in Castle Kriegspire leading to where the egg is won't open without it. If I now want to install a large mod, is there a simple way to change this or will I have to reinstall?
You'll have to delete files starting with "00 patch" from Data folder.

No, I've fixed bugs in timers code. The experience well in Kriegspire now works exactly as it was implemented by NWC, not as the bug made it work. As always, you can disable the fix by adding FixTimers=0 to INI.

Possible bug? In the Temple of Tsanta, after you unlock the doors that lead to the main chamber with the altar -- If you go down the stairs past the altar and to your right, you'll come across a bed. Clicking on the pillow of the bed (I even tried Telekinesis on it) is supposedly interactable but I'm unable to figure out what clicking it is supposed to do? Was it supposed to give you an item of some sort? | {

Dog separation anxiety is the most common behavioral disorder along with aggression, and a significant number of dogs suffer from it.
I just wanted to say thank you for making such a great product. I purchase the Renal dry and wet food for 2 of my cats who have a slight kidney issue. | {

Leo von Harden (John Gilbert) and Ulrich von Eltz (Lars Hanson) are long-time pals, having grown up together and served together in the military, sharing a bunk in the barracks. As kids, they made a blood pact to ensure their undying bond. They're such good pals they've even got their own "Isle of Friendship," an island they used to row to as children, where they made the pact.
Leo brings excitement to Ulrich's life, and Ulrich covers for Leo when he stays out too late. It's been a swell companionship and looks to be a lifelong one… until Felicitas (Greta Garbo) enters the picture. Leo meets Felicitas at a ball after first seeing her at the train station. He's instantly smitten, and the lady isn't exactly shy about returning his affections, but disaster follows.
Flesh and the Devil was directed by Clarence Brown. It was adapted for the screen by Benjamin F. Glazer from Hermann Sudermann's novel "The Undying Past." This film appears in the TCM Archives DVD release "The Garbo Silents Collection" alongside two more Garbo films from the mid- to late- '20s: The Temptress (1926) and The Mysterious Lady (1928). Orchestral accompaniment in this DVD version is composed by Carl Davis.
Regular visitors of TMP will know that we usually cover films of the '30s through '50s 'round these parts, but I'm a sucker for a good silent film, and Garbo is one of my favorite actresses. I've said it before, I'll say it a million times again: silent Garbo is the best Garbo, as much as I also love her later work.
Flesh and the Devil offers viewers the opportunity to watch Garbo perform alongside John Gilbert, the other half of her most well-known and still-loved screen pairing. They make one heck of a pair. That chemistry! Those faces! If you've never seen them act together or for some reason aren't convinced of their appeal, this film will certainly set you right. They sizzle, especially in their early scenes of smoochin' and sweet-talking.
The Garbo Silents Collection contains one film I had seen previously — this one — and two new-to-me (reviews coming tomorrow and Friday). I'm not as much of a re-watcher as I am a discovery-focused viewer, but I do enjoy the process of watching a film again, seeing what I gather from it once all of the details of the plot are familiar. What struck me about Flesh and the Devil this time around was the focus on Felicitas' impact on the friendship between Leo and Ulrich.
The whole plot is basically an exaggerated (quite exaggerated) version of what happens when we allow love to take precedence over all other areas of our lives. It would be easy to dismiss Garbo's character simply as a destructive, seductive vixen — and, in some ways, that's just what she is — but the takeaway of the film for me was more so the (not-always-positive) influence that love can have on every aspect of our lives. It's very telling that both men feel like a veil has been lifted from their eyes at the end of the film. Love didn't blind them, but it certainly distorted things.
There's drama, drama, and more drama to be had throughout Flesh and the Devil. The plot takes several melodramatic turns, all of which are effectively juicy and gripping developments to the complicated romantic quadrangle. Just when you think that death is the most dramatic thing that can happen… well, I won't spoil anything, but not a second of the film is wasted! | {

The road which connects Bath with Shepton Mallet via the A37 is one of the south west's most dangerous roads for motorcyclists.
The A367 has come out as seventh in the top ten most dangerous routes for motorists on two wheels.
It ranked behind the A38 and A4 through Bristol.
But deemed as the most dangerous road is the A370, which runs from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset.
The figures have been collated according to government data analysed by Swinton Insurance, the UK's largest high street insurance broker.
There are 13 motorbike accidents for every 100,000 people in the region.
Those aged 25 were most likely to be involved in motorcycle accidents in the south west while those aged 65 and over were least likely. Men were also 91 per cent more likely to be involved in accidents than women in the south west.
The conditions most likely to cause an accident on a motorcycle in the south west are also revealed. A strong majority (85 per cent) of these occur during fine weather.
A–Roads were the most dangerous types of roads for motorcyclists in the south west. 70 per cent of motorbike accidents in the south west occurred on A-roads, compared to a national average of 79 per cent.
And less than half (43 per cent) occurred on motorbikes with an engine size of 500cc, compared to a national average of 37 per cent.
UN Global Safety Week ran in the week commencing May 8. | {

Ideally, the custody plan parents agreed to during their divorce contained a workable summer schedule. However, sometimes it may be necessary to deviate from that plan; for example, doing so may make sense if one parent has an opportunity to take the kids to a theme park or out-of-town family gathering. While the situation between the two parents may be tense, it is preferable that they meet to work out an alternative arrangement for these situations. One parent may approach the other with a tentative schedule, and the two can amiably reach an agreement.
Of course, this ideal is not always achieved, and the parents may not be able to reach an acceptable resolution. In this case, they may seek the help of a neutral third party to mediate their conflict. In fact, if the parents already know they will not be able to resolve their dispute peacefully, mediation may be necessary from the start. If mediation still is not the answer to the problem, a couple may need to get a court order for their vacation plans.
Broaching vacation schedule changes with a co-parent is not something to leave for the last minute. Neither is it recommended that a parent avoid the child custody conflict and simply leave town with the children. This could result in serious legal consequences. Instead, enlisting the help of a Tennessee attorney while summer is still young may allow both parents to provide a memorable summer experience for their children instead of spending vacation battling in a courtroom. | {

What to Know about California's Cap and Trade's Proposed Revisions
by Allison Smith
Stoel Rives LLP – Renewalable & Law
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) released draft amendments to California's cap and trade regulation, including revisions to the current program in place through 2020, an extension of the program through 2030, and setting the stage for continued emissions reductions under the program through 2050. ARB's proposed amendments come in the middle of a recent milieu of uncertainty: pending litigation challenging the legality of the existing program, an opinion from the state Office of Legislative Counsel that ARB lacks authority under AB 32 to continue cap and trade past 2020, unprecedented weak demand at the most recent allowance auction, and legislation proposed in the California Senate to establish a statutory emissions reductions mandate for 2030 still in process this session. With all of these balls in the air, ARB has doubled down and drafted regulations dropping the program's emissions cap from 334.2 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2e in 2020 to 200.5 MMT in 2030, with major elements of the cap and trade regulation continuing in effect past 2020 to achieve the emissions reductions.
In addition to the extension of the cap and trade program – arguably the big fish of ARB's proposal – the agency has outlined numerous refinements to the existing program. Certain regulated industries would face direct impacts under the proposed revisions. Other industries face uncertainty in allowance allocations, with ARB proposing to revise the way emissions leakage is assessed.
Industrial sectors affected by the draft amendments:
ARB proposes to recalculate benchmarks for (i) dairy product manufacturing, (ii) secondary smelting, refining, and alloying of nonferrous metal, and (iii) nonferrous forging.
Roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturers and paper mills, except newsprint, would shift from a product-based benchmark to the energy-based allocation methodology.
The one-product, one benchmark policy would be reevaluated for products from two sectors: potash, soda, and borate mineral mining and other nonmetallic mineral mining.
Product benchmarks for the nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturing sector may be revisited.
Waste-to-energy facilities combusting municipal solid waste would receive an extended exemption through 2017.
Compliance obligations for imported liquefied petroleum gas would shift from the consignee to the importer. Liquefied natural gas providers would receive a limited exemption through 2017.
Exemptions would end for natural gas hydrogen fuel cells and low-bleed pneumatic devices. Cogeneration facilities and district heating facilities would be eligible for a limited exemption for certain output.
ARB is proposing adjustments to the auction system and potentially linking California's program with that of Ontario. Additional limited linkages could come to fruition, including with Washington state for allowance trading and Acre, Brazil for sector-based offsets. The proposed amendments would also make the necessary tweaks to the cap and trade program to allow it to meet California's federal Clean Power Plan obligations. Aligning with the potential expansion of the geographical boundaries California Independent System Operator and the new energy imbalance market market is also addressed, as electricity imports are regulated under the program.
ARB issued a preliminary draft of the proposed amendments on Tuesday. The final draft, for public comment, will be issued August 5, 2016, with comments accepted until September 19, 2016. Two days of hearings by the Board are scheduled for September 22 – 23, 2016. | {

Borders and their crossings are the theme of our first three issues: genre-bending in Iran, partition surrounding North Korea, and in Iraq, the danger zone between inside and outside, as Sherko Fatah writes of smugglers and minefields on the border with Turkey; Muhsin al-Ramli of prisons real and metaphorical at the outset of the Iran-Iraq war; Najem Wali of a soldier in Basra on leave from that conflict in "Waltzing Matilda," and of the artist's relation to borders in "Homeland as Exile." In an excerpt from his novel Outcast and in his interview with translator Ammiel Alcalay, Iraqi-born Jewish writer Shimon Ballas defies the boundary between Jew and Muslim; while from a historical perspective, Maria Rosa Menocal harkens back to "The Culture of Translation" in medieval Baghdad and Spain, recalling the fluidity of boundaries between "East" and "West." Poems by Nazik Al-Mala'ika, Saadi Youssef, and Badr Shakir as-Sayab (with a contemporary response by Palestinian Mahmoud Darwish) explore departure and loss as they seek a safe haven in language.
Iocasta: What is an exile's life? Is it great misery? Polyneices: The greatest; worse in reality than in report. Iocasta: Worse in what way? What chiefly galls an exile's heart? | {

A point earned or two dropped? Ask Manchester City.
Well, that was frustrating to watch. Coming into Sunday's derby, we knew that Manchester City had been held at Villa Park and that we had a golden chance at pulling ahead of them, if only for a few weeks. Instead, we sleep-walked through most of the first half while Tottenham pressed up the pitch, coming alive perhaps only as a result of Tottenham's tired legs in the second half. If those Spuds find the fitness they'd need to keep pressing, or if Pochettino figures out how to defend a lead, they're going to start inching up the table. For now, though, let's review how we ended up dropping two points at home to a hated rival...
One moment of madness is all it took.
It won't show up as an error that led to a goal, but Koscielny's attempt at playing Kane offside backfired, and this allowed Kane to go through on goal unchallenged. Kane was comfortably onside for Rose's pass and was untroubled as he ran into the box to slot past Čech, who narrowly missed making the save by diving right as Kane's shot went to his left. Tottenham would have other great chances, but this was one that resulted more from our own mistakes than their own industry. It was reminiscent of that harrowing 2-1 loss in 2013 when Bale and Lennon got in behind our defense to score. If Koscielny's timing had been better, if Čech had held his position rather than diving, if...
Alexis and Giroud just don't work well together...
Is it a coincidence that Alexis has hit a dry patch at approximately the same time that Giroud has resumed his role as centre-forward? His goal against Watford closed a six-match span in which he scored seven goals in four matches; since then, however, he's not scored at all in five matches—all of them alongside Giroud. Yes, Giroud has scored four goals in his last six appearances and is now apparently scoring more goals per minute than any other striker in the Prem, but at what cost? Hefar less clinical than Alexis, and his hold-up play seems to, well, hold Alexis up. Giroud has never assisted Alexis. Contrast that against the combination-play we'd seen from Alexis and Walcott, who've each assisted the other twice despite having never played so close together before this season. Alexis and Giroud have had plenty of time to develop better chemistry but just can't seem to make it work.
...and neither did Campbell and Debuchy.
Of course, neither of them has had much time on the pitch together, and so there is bound to be poor chemistry, but that doesn't explain just how poorly they seem to combine. There were times when it even seemed as if Campbell resented or even refused to pass to Debuchy despite his availability, as if giving Debuchy the ball might undermine his defensive contributions and force Campbell to track back even more. Most of Tottenham's attack was going to come down our right flank, and this did give Debuchy a chance to make nine tackles (most in either side). Whether this reflects his tenacity or Tottenham's tactics is an open question. Each player on his own was decent, but this is again a case when the whole is less than the sum of its parts.
Tottenham could get into the top four.
Not just on this result, but on the basis of wider-ranging improvements Pochettino has instituted. I commented before the match on their new-found defensive organization, but I failed to address their high-energy pressing. It was only as their energy waned in the second half that we started to get the upper hand. If Pochettino can make adjustments to keep legs fresh, that style could deliver even more-impressive results—such as the one their mauling of Man City a few weeks ago. They've lost just one Prem match (at Old Trafford to start the season), Kane may have found his scoring boots after a sluggish start, and the squad as a whole looks much more c onfident than it has in recent memory.
At least we didn't drop points to relegation fodder...
Man City went into Villa Park to face a squad that seems determined to achieve relegation by Boxing Day but struggled to come away with a point, which is certainly two points dropped against a squad no one has any business dropping points against. Whereas we can gnash our teeth at dropping the same number of points at home against Tottenham, the opportunity cost is much lower to us than to City. Yes, they were without Silva or Agüero, among others, but we're without Wilshere and Welbeck and Walcott and Ramsey and Bellerín. One ingredient in the Prem-winning recipe is to keep all of the points in matches against clubs in the bottom half. City dropped the ball there; we simply dropped a few points.
I know that it stings to drop those points to a crosstown rival, but, strategically, it's not that big a deal. If anything, Tottenham have to come away the disappointed side. They had a plan, the plan was working, and we were playing poorly. Despite all of that, they could still manage just a draw on a day when they had outplayed us thoroughly. Emerging with a win would have given them more than three points. It would have given them confidence to carry them into future fixtures, whomever they'd face.
We'll go into the the international break a bit frustrated, to be sure, but we'll come back with reinforcements and goet into a string of fixtures that is much softer than the one we've just come through.

If the Participant cannot attend the Game, the Participant may appoint a proxy over 18 years of age to play the Game on his/her behalf provided the Participant gives the Promoter written, signed notice to that effect before the start of the Game. If the Promoter has not been able to contact the Participant before the start of the Game, a representative of the Promoter will play the Game on the Participant's behalf.

Bursting the "Woods of New England" Bubble
by GLA on October 20, 2017
THE COMMON MYTH THAT LYME DISEASE ONLY EXISTS IN NEW ENGLAND.
Last summer, a friend who lives in Oklahoma found a classic bullseye rash on her seven-year-old daughter. "That's a spider bite," a local pediatrician told her. "We don't have Lyme in Oklahoma."
The doctor was wrong. Had my friend taken his advice, her daughter would not have been diagnosed in a timely fashion and she would likely have developed symptoms over the next few months or years. She probably would have become severely debilitated, and the infections might have crossed the blood-brain barrier and become chronic.
In other words, the little girl could have wound up like me. For as it turns out, she did not have a spider bite. She had Lyme disease and two co-infections, Babesia and Bartonella.
Now she's a healthy, happy second grader because a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) was brought in who accurately saw the bullseye rash for what it was. Another pediatrician ordered special tests, and started the child on proper medication for all three infections. Because they were caught early, those infections have now cleared up.
This little girl was lucky, but that's because her mother was informed about Lyme and knew to persist beyond the "spider bite" diagnosis. But what about all those children whose parents and pediatricians aren't Lyme literate? Especially those who live outside the so-called endemic areas?
I don't believe the Oklahoma pediatrician meant harm with his inaccurate diagnosis. His lack of awareness stemmed from a common myth that Lyme only exists in New England, and specifically in the woods. I've had people in Massachusetts say to me, "Oh Lyme—that's the thing you get when you're hiking, right?"
Yes and no. Ticks live not only in the woods but also in long grasses, gardens, woodpiles, leaf litter and on lawns. They love any moist, shady area. They feed not just on deer—another common myth—but also on mice, chipmunks, shrews, birds, and other small mammals. Therefore, they travel a lot. People travel, too. Someone from South Carolina might take a vacation in Maine, get bitten by a tick, and later be told by their doctor, "It can't be Lyme. We don't have it in the South." In fact, cases of Lyme disease have been documented across the United States, and throughout the world.
New research published in the Journal of Medical Entomology shows that infected ticks are now in half the counties across the country, a number that has almost doubled since a similar survey was done in 1998. The study notes that over the past two decades, the black-legged tick "has expanded from its northeastern focus northward into upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and northern Maine; westward across Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and New York; and south—and southwestward into West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina." The study also notes a similar geographic expansion in the North-Central states. "The two previously distinct foci in the Northeast and North-Central states appear to be merging in the Ohio River Valley to form a single contiguous focus."[1]
Ticks are spreading across the country, bringing not just Lyme but co-infections. These require different treatment and can complicate recovery. Had my friend's daughter only been treated for Lyme and not for Babesia and Bartonella, she would still be sick.
Some of these co-infections are specific to states that are nowhere near New England. Bourbon virus, a rare but potentially deadly illness, has been reported in Kansas and Oklahoma. The Heartland virus, spread through the bite of an infected Lone Star tick, has been found in Missouri, Tennessee and Oklahoma. Also transmitted by the Lone Star tick is Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI), while dog ticks and Rocky Mountain wood ticks carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Tick borne illnesses are rampant not just in New England, not just deep in the woods, but all across the country and world. As the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society states on its website, "ticks know no borders and respect no boundaries."[2]
No matter where you live, if you have symptoms of Lyme and/or co-infections, it's critical to see an LLMD. If you still have the tick, you can also get that tested. Follow the smart lead of my friend in Oklahoma, so you don't wind up like me.
Opinions expressed by contributors are their own.
Jennifer Crystal is a writer and educator in Boston. She is working on a memoir about her journey with chronic tick-borne illness. Contact her at [email protected]

Chronically Vintage: Sharing the Circle of Friends award with my wonderful blog friends!
Sharing the Circle of Friends award with my wonderful blog friends!
Way back in early December, when snow lay heavy on the ground and my mind was already dancing with visions of sugar plums and other Christmas splendours, the perpetually kind Andrea of Arise 2 Write bestowed a lovely accolade on Chronically Vintage: the Circle of Friends award.
While I'm the first to admit that five months have passed since she so sweetly gave me this award, I really appreciate all of the beautiful blog awards, tags and honors that Chronically Vintage receives, and wanted to post – before so much as even one more day slipped past – and acknowledge this lovely gift.
It is nothing short of an understatement to say that I've made some deeply wonderful online friends via Chronically Vintage. While some our relationships have morphed into email and snail mail friendships, many others exist in the blog realm, where week-by-week, we learn more about one another and have a marvellous time sharing in the splendour of all things vintage.
Thank you to everybody who follows this site; so many of you have become dear friends that I can't imagine there was a time before I had the pleasure of knowing you. Each of my readers is a part of my circle of friends and this blog simply would not be the same without you!
Those who receive this fun award are encouraged to share five things that they love to do, so I'll take Andrea's lead and post about a few of my favourite activities – with the help of quintet of gorgeous pin-up gals to illustrate these particular interests of mine.
I openly extend this award to absolutely every one of my readers – you are each so deserving of this terrific accolade. However, as I'm supposed to pass the Circle of Friends on to a given number of readers in particular, I'd like to share this award with the following 10 blogs (and the splendid souls behind them!).
Thank you very much, Andrea, for this awesome blog award and for being such a beautiful friend! Your cheerful, encouraging comments never fail to brighten my day.
Many thanks, too, to all of my readers for being such an important part of my Circle of Friends, I ♥ you all!
awww, you're so sweet Jessica!
Thanks for the award doll, it made my day!
Oh, thank you so much for thinking of me! What a wonderful award, and I feel so honored to be included with these other amazing bloggers!
Congratulations and GOD BLESS...you deserve it.
Those pictures are great. I love how most pin up girls look like they've been caught doing something wrong.
Thank you for the award! I can't even believe it!
Awe my darling sweet gal, you have just brought a much needed smile to my face :) thank you! I am truly honored that you consider me part of your circle of friends! Know that you are most certainly a part of my circle of friends as well! Thank you a gazillion times again! oooh, and chocolate chips cookies would certainly be the icing on the cake to this day! I'll take the next plane out, so see you soon ;) I will most definitely post this wonderful award on my page and will post about it shortly!
Wishing you a splendid day darling!
Congrats on the award! I hope you're doing well!
Oh Jessica, what a lovelyyyy suprise!
You really are such a delight to have as a blogging friend and I very much appreciate the award. Thankyou!

How the Welsh Conservatives can win the 2021 Senedd election
15 May 2020 8 minute read
Paul Davies. © Russell Hart/Alamy Live News.
Charlie Evans, Deputy Chairman of the Carmarthen West & South Pembrokeshire Conservative Association
Just 23 years ago, not one person in Wales was represented by a Conservative MP, as Wales was swept up as part of the 1997 Blair landslide win.
Two years later, they didn't fare much better in Wales' inaugural Assembly election. The Tories won only one constituency in Monmouthshire, despite facing the unpopular Alun Michael as Welsh Labour leader.
For a hundred years Labour have dominated this country. And in the 21 years of devolution, Labour have been a permanent feature in government, either alone or in a coalition.
Given this unprecedented electoral domination, you would think Wales lives in a land of unparalleled wealth, schools are centres of excellence within the United Kingdom and its hospitals are unrivalled in terms of their care.
However, the reality couldn't be more different. Wales has the highest percentage of relative income poverty in the UK, at nearly a quarter. In education, Wales is the worst country of the UK for reading, maths and science. In health, 28% of patients don't get seen within a four-hour target time in Accident and Emergency. Ambulance waiting times are getting worse with 27% of patients in life-threatening circumstances not being seen within the eight-minute target. More than half of Welsh adults are obese or overweight.
Wales as a nation is also the unhappiest in the UK and nearly a third of the people of Wales binge drinks. From a Covid-19 perspective, we can only just about manage a thousand tests a day whilst England teeters around the 100,000 mark.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Wales doesn't have to be the poor man of the UK anymore. Wales is a naturally conservative country. We, the Welsh, value family and local communities in the form of the rugby club, the pub, the village hall, the church. We value rural life, the heartbeat of this great nation. We love the arts and beauty, from the artisan streets of Portmeirion to the poetry of Dylan Thomas.
We value our rich history and culture, with our language thriving despite attempts to curb it. We are a country of the unique customs seen in our Eisteddfods. We are a nation known for its great religious revivals where Nonconformism spread, where church and family life were at the heart of the human experience. Our natural conservatism is what makes Wales special.
Yet we are no rural idyll. We also know we can also be at the heart of global innovation, as we were when the Industrial Revolution brought wealth and jobs to Wales. And despite a minority in Wales believing that we live in an English Empire, nostalgic about an age gone before, we are proud partners with our friends in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland forming the great family of nations – the United Kingdom.
So Wales should be natural Tory territory – patriotic and conservative in nature. But Wales has been patronised and taken advantage of by the Labour Party, keeping her on a drug of dependency. They have become complacent, knowing that Wales will vote them back in however little effort they put into solving our problems.
Wales is certainly not Plaid Cymru territory. They are a party who seek to use the power of the state to enforce their version of Wales on everyone else. Conservatives believe that Wales, her values, and her culture are strong enough to survive through the skill of persuasion and argument.
Some are concerned by what they see as a devo-scepticism within the Conservative party. But this is caused by frustration at an institution that was created by Labour in order to assert Labour control over Wales. The Labour Party wanted devolution for Wales because they knew they would be elected repeatedly – that was always the plan back in 1997.
And the reason is that the Welsh electorate is very uninformed as to where decisions are made, due to a virtually non-existent Welsh media, a UK media that doesn't report properly on Wales and a Labour Government who sing and champion its own virtues when things go well and shy away from any responsibility or accountability when the going gets tough.
In the Covid-19 crisis, Welsh eyes seem to have finally been opened and they have realised that, actually, there is a Welsh Government that has quite serious powers. The Welsh Government may be basking in that attention at the moment but this heightened perception of who is in charge in Wales will not go away with the coronavirus pandemic. People will now know at whose feet the blame lies for Wales' present condition.
So what do the Welsh Conservatives need to do to win next year's Senedd election?
First of all, respect devolution. It is here to stay, and it is good – power taken closer to the hands of local people, a nice via media between Westminster centralisation of power and Welsh independence, a model to keep Wales as a strong distinctive voice within the strongest Union of nations in world history.
It is why I voted for Brexit – to take power back closer to the people. It is something that the Conservatives support naturally, and once we loosen Labour's one-party grip on power in Wales our natural frustration at Welsh devolution will go with it. Polls show that the people of Wales very much support devolution too. So if we want to taste electoral success at the ballot box next year, we must respect the institution of the Welsh Parliament as the people of Wales do.
We also need to commit to capital investment in Wales. This country lags behind like other parts of the United Kingdom. Mid and West Wales' rail infrastructure is significantly behind the pace. Towns like Aberystwyth are connected to the Midlands but not its neighbours to the south. Bus services are irregular outside the Valleys and the cities in the south. Private sector involvement in north and mid-Wales is limited, with a high dependency on jobs in the public sector. We need Wales to become a desirable place to live and work, not just to retire to at the end of a career.
But this is a problem which Boris Johnson encouragingly seems to want to address – levelling up areas outside the economic centre in London and the south-east. A Welsh Conservative Government would put Wales in a fantastic position to go into tough negotiations with Westminster and get our share of the funding we need. We would be the driver of our own success, rather than blaming Westminster at every hurdle.
Thirdly, a commitment to reform public services. There is this myth perpetuated by the political left that the more money public services have, the better they will operate. Where we can find the money to fund these things, let's do so. But we have to address the massive mismanagement of the NHS, our schools and other vital public services.
We also need to address the social problems that blight this country. Often we have adopted the laissez-faire approach, the lift yourselves up by the bootstraps, the rags to riches stories to inspire. Whilst encouraging personal and family responsibility and encouraging everyone to achieve their potential, we need to level Wales up, aspiring to give her the same opportunities as London and the South-East.
But we cannot lambast the Labour government for its record without having compelling ideas and solutions ourselves to tackle alcohol addiction, substance abuse, crime, homelessness and financial insecurity.
Strong position
Back in 1999, I am not sure how many people in Wales would have believed that just two decades later in 2019's snap winter General Election, that the Conservatives would win 14 seats, 36% of the popular vote just 4% lower than the Labour Party, a party who has won the popular vote in every Welsh General or Assembly Election since 1922.
99 years later, we have the opportunity to end our miserable run by electing a Conservative administration in 2021. The latest Welsh Barometer Poll shows us polling higher than Labour. We were also the only party to respect Wales' mandate to leave the European Union whilst Labour, Plaid Cymru and the Lib Dems undermined it at every stage.
We are in a strong position but nothing is guaranteed. In 2021, the political landscape, in the aftermath of Covid-19, will be very different. Taking this election for granted isn't an option – anything less than a comprehensive win will give Wales another Labour government, in partnership with Plaid Cymru, for another five years.
The opportunity is here. We can truly prosper as a unique, distinct power within the family of the United Kingdom. We can do this. We must do this. And if we do, the next chapters of the Story of Wales could be our best yet.
Plain citizen
Some good points. Welsh Labour has presided over years of dismal failure in every sector. Throwing money at publicly owned services and institutions without a plan and some idea of making them efficient does not work. You only need to look at Public Health Wales and England and their multiple c**k ups over centralising testing and ppe and compare with the decentralised German (and South Indian and everywhere else) model to see that. Welsh politics needs a boot up the arse and Tory victory might well shake up the Cardiff elite. We need to stop harking back to the 'glory… Read more »
Reply to Plain citizen
Agree with you, but not re global warming challenges… if we fail to act there will be no bright future,
Autumatic unsubscribe for publishing this windbag's nonsense. The Tories hate Wales and would have us working ourselves to death again to assuage their parochial voting base in middle England if they had the opportunity. The absolute last thing Wales needs is the party of ideological inequality in a position where they can do further damage.
Reply to No Name
What policies would you promote to increase prosperity in Wales then? Not just windbag slogans ('inequality yadda yadda yadda'). Tell us how you will fund your plan.
If this ever happened I would move to Scotland-never trust a tory. Our parliament would have most o their powers handed back to London on a plate
Good to see the Tories posting articles here! Good to see all sides of the arguments…..would be good to see some more Larour & Liberal articles here also!
Reply to David Roberts
Agree, we need to see all or none. I'd prefer none, but 'all' will do. I have a sneaking suspicion that, given the unionist stances in the other parties, it will remain Plaid heavy given the (fully admitted and, for me, welcome) bias of Nation.
He forgot to include the Covid-19 death rates comparison: 36.6 deaths per 100,000 people in Wales, 52.7 deaths per 100,000 in England (Channel 4 News Fact Check).
I am not a Tory but I think a shake up and pragmatic policymaking is needed ('let's do what works', and look at Ireland Germany etc). If you didn't think any articles written by politicians and their staff would be on this site you obviously have not read and previous days postings.
j humphrys
You mean the European countries, ha!
Mr Evans. You voted for Brexit in order to 'take power back' – follow that instinct through to the end. You will find that you could back a separation of, first, the Welsh arm of your party, then your nation from the very union that has allowed Cymru to be in the parlous situation she is in. We need capital investment. Agreed. We won't get any serious interest bar the gleaning of an embedded low-pay workforce whilst we remain part of this imbalanced union. We may get a 'stronger voice' (demographically implausible except to 'save the union', at which point… Read more »
Unlike some others, I applaud the decision to publish this barrow load of arrant nonsense. I am amazed at this time that any Tory should stick their head over the parapet, given the abject failure of Johnson's government to protect its population during the Covid19 crisis. Anyone who thinks they are a safe bet seriously needs to compare us with Germany. We should be crying from the rooftops about the holocaust ripping through our care homes, the sheer wanton lack of preparedness throughout the UK (yes, of which Wales is a part) and the consistent lying to the public. I… Read more »
What policies, on industry and tax for example would you put forward to help Wales become more prosperous? You know Brexit is a fact so bearing that in mind what would you do?

Clwych, clwych. Totally agree. I'm not sure how anyone who refuses to listen to others opinions can expect to have their own respected. Though some will already believe this nonsense, and will therefore continue to believe it, it is quite likely that it will make others even more resolved to ensure that the Tory distopia does not control the Senedd
Crikey – are you OK? I am writing from Pembs which has Welsh-speaking local ex-banker as Tory AM, who leads his party. And we have a council-house boy from Haverfordwest as our Tory MP. I did not vote Tory here, but I will buy this Article. But being fully aware that the writer may not be stating mainstream Tory policy. We have something to work with here. Welsh Toryism + say Plaid leftiness in coalition could be just the thing Wales needs to escape from Labour's 100 wasted years in Wales. Pity it won't happen – because Plaid have lost… Read more »

A good article which does a good job of pinpointing Labour's culpable incompetence at running Wales. I have a genuine question though. The Conservatives define themselves as a Unionist party – in fact their full name is "The Conservative and Unionist Party". Therefore we can take it that their abiding interest is to preserve the Union at all costs. But how can that be squared with a promise to bring the Welsh economy up to the level of a normal country? If a Conservative-run Senedd really did succeed in delivering economic growth and reducing Wales's crushing levels of poverty, they'd… Read more »

Hello. I don't normally intervene 'below the line' but could I remind people not to post multiple comments under different aliases? It's just been flagged up that there are quite a few very similar comments being posted under different names from the same IP addresses. This is contrary to the community standards as set out above and will lead to IP addresses being blocked. No one wants that I'm sure – because it's faff for me and stops you commenting. I want to keep the comments section as open and accessible as possible (no one wants to go back to… Read more »

I'm a different Huw Davies (I now use my middle initial) but I'd like to point out that VPNs are plentiful and checking someone's IP address doesn't prove anything. I often use one to avoid spam and cookies, which is an unpleasant combination in every sense. There have even been a few times where I agreed with so much of what the other Huw Davies had posted that I thought i might have written it in some sort of fugue state and thought I'd better add the J just to remind myself!

It's definitely time for another party to have a go at the Senedd, Labour are making devolution look bad. I must confess to being a little frustrated at Plaid Cymru's stubborn outright refusal to consider a possible coalition with the Conservatives. I say that as a lifelong Plaid voter. Providing Plaid were not junior partners to the extent of the Lib Dems in Westminster 10 or so years ago, they would at be able to have a big say in changing Wales for the better. Some comments on here overreact massively to the fact that a Conservative has been given… Read more »
Reply to Amber Gambler
Absolutely, the biggest threat to devolution is not from the Brit right it's from the incompetence and arrogance of the Welsh left who think they own devolution.
My little self is centre-right, but over the last years I have come to distrust, and actively dislike the Welsh Conservatives. Just this week, they sat in silence while one of their own in England attacked our Senedd. Brexit is heavily dependent on a lunatic currently in charge in Washington, and even if he is defeated for inflicting grievous bodily harm to the United States, his successors will have it in for what's left of the UK, or Yuk as one of them said last year. Why? Because of the very influential Irish vote, especially among Democrats. This Island may… Read more »

j.h – I did read reports of Tories from this side of the Clawdd telling the daft Pole from t'other side to take his nose and stick it elsewhere. I vaguely recall that one of them was the sitting M.P for Maldwyn, maybe Simon Hart was the other. In the Commons the notorious ar*e licker from Bridgend got put down by Boris when asking a non question about the Senedd in Wales. Boris didn't thank the muppet for the question and went on to say that he found things generally worked quite well with the devolved administrations. Bit of a… Read more »

Boris will have taken him aside and given him a book on how to win at poker. Never show your hand! Ah well, we've seen it now. A 7 and a 2 is bad, right?
Okay, but hope you won't mind if I wait for the official apology from the Welsh Tories in the Senedd, as you have obviously had to work quite hard at finding something? That's how far things have come for me, sorry.

"From a Covid-19 perspective, we can only just about manage a thousand tests a day whilst England teeters around the 100,000 mark." It is worth reading the article by Dr Angharad Puw Davies from Swansea University's School of Medicine in Barn (also reproduced on the Academi Hywel Teifi Facebook page) to wonder how effective this magic increase in testing actually is. There is a very high element of "pot calling the kettle black" in this article. My observations of ambulance and hospital services in England are that they are not significantly better than in Wales. Public transport services by bus… Read more »

I'm disappointed at those whose response to this article has been to unsubscribe or not subscribe. Yes the tories can't be trusted here or at Westminster and in any event a tory majority in 2021 is as likely as martians landing in Cardiff on St David's Day. BUT Nation Cymru is an important part of the media in Wales and a very important source of discussion and debate – and, like it or not, the tories should be allowed to contribute to the discussion.
The real response is to work for and vote for an independence party next May.

You're not really Welsh though Charlie because you prioritise the needs of your masters in London over those in Wales. I could spend a considerable amount of time deconstructing your article but I won't save for the fact that you have never done anything for Wales. You have continuously made it poorer whenever in government, destroyed livelihoods and jobs and continue to destroy effective and efficient public services and outsource it to friends in high places for financial gain. Your party is complicit in thousands of deaths and most of the MPs elected aren't even Welsh let alone live in… Read more »

As a constituent of Simon Hart MP and Angela Burns AS I would agree with the overall sentiment expressed in this article. It would be healthy for Wales to have a Conservative government. There would be a natural alliance with central UK government and allow a new Conservative Welsh government to implement its election manifesto. When you refer to improving rail transport between Mid Wales (Aberystwyth) and West Wales I assume the writer is referring to South West Wales only. It is also important to improve transport arrangements between South West Wales and North West/East Wales -in particular the A487… Read more »

'There would be a natural alliance with central UK government and allow a new Conservative Welsh government to implement its election manifesto.'
How laughable. You're essentially talking unionism and dilution of powers in the Welsh Parliament. What you're proposing essentially is the sort of approach that existed during the colonial era.
Are you a bot?
Ann Owen
Better rail transporrt in mid and west Wales, better transport links between South West and North West/East Wales? Better ,vote Plaid in 2021 then!

Periodic change is generally healthy for democracy. Challenge to the status quo is always necessary. I try to keep up with all views. Two points: 1. The description of conservatIsm given is rather far from the views of the dominant faction in Westminster and many constituency parties these days, though it would be familiar to John Major. Some MPs for Welsh seats are notable enthusiasts for the new guard, whose permanent revolution would have little time for such quaintnesses as "our rich history and culture" . I note the advice to Welsh Conservatives to respect devolution. For it to work… Read more »

Your second point calls to mind a parallel I've noticed between Wales and the Baltic states, each of which – Estonia and Latvia especially – have significant minorities, Russian in language and in sentiment, which are the product of their small countries' centuries of domination by the large neighbour to the east!

It would be interesting to see how many people in England consider themselves English, there are plenty of other options: British, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, European and the many BAME hyphenated and non- hyphenated identities. The same menu applies in Wales. For many people ticking just one box is impossible.

They've always published pieces like this. You get articles from all across the political spectrum.
I've moaned before about impartiality but that's because I felt Nation had an unnecessary dig at an individual but as for the above I personally welcome articles from everybody across the political divide, whether its The WNP, Plaid, Gwlad or the unionist parties, and that's even if I like it or not. Evan's though is a sheep in wolves clothing as if his masters in London would encourage more powers of devolution given the choice. All I can say is Gompel, Roche and Kawczynski (and these are just in the last few weeks). And with the increasing support for Independence… Read more »
Silly comment!!
I can't see why anyone should object to Welsh Conservatives contributing to this site; after all, as Mr Evans was quick to point out at the start of his opinion piece, the Tories appear to have considerably more voter support here than seemed to be the case not too long ago. They clearly merit a voice here, and as poor ideas are only ever countered by better ideas we all should surely welcome the cut and thrust which makes that process possible. So good for Mr Evans for offering his thoughts, and good for 'Nation Cymru' for publishing them. But… Read more »

For God's sake Arfon, why shouldn't a Tory post an article. There are Tory voters in Wales whether you like it or not. Why not take them posting as something positive. It gives us an opportunity to say exactly what we think about them. This for example – 'We also need to commit to capital investment in Wales. This country lags behind like other parts of the United Kingdom. Mid and West Wales' rail infrastructure is significantly behind the pace. Towns like Aberystwyth are connected to the Midlands but not its neighbours to the south.' The Tories and Labour had… Read more »

Couldn't agree more. We, who have a good memory and a grasp of things should be able to tear this article to shreds and expose the massive elephant in the room: that much of the initial responsibility for the parlous state of Wales is fundamentally down to Tory governments in Westminster, especially during the past 40 years when every government in Westminster has been Tory. Relative poverty in Wales has a long history and whilst the Labour party might not have acquitted itself wonderfully it is a bit much to expect them to make the kind of transformation this 'pillock'… Read more »

"Our national conservatism is what makes Wales special", that's a nail on the head.
Wales is the most culturally conservative nation in Western Europe.
It's why Welsh is spoken by so many. And we should celebrate it.

Mr Davies – it is your party that made us one of the poorest parts of Europe. You say taking back control will allow us to localise politics but it isn't the EU that prevents that (For example, Germany has very localised power) it's Westminster and in particular Tory held Westminster. There would never have been any form of devolution if Labour hadn't been in charge, I'm not a Labour supporter but the truth is the truth. Conservatives hate devolution no matter what you say and only put up with it now as they have no choice. I'm sorry Mr… Read more »
Nigel Bull
As a Labour member, I find it sad there is far too much truth in the article. For those that object to this and other articles from those that you disagree with, you have the attitude that holds Plaid, Nationalism and Independance back. The best selling newspapers in Wales- The Sun, Mirror and Mail. No on is forced to buy them and is able to buy the welsh papers. That is the mindset of the country, as a democrats you have to live with it, unless of course you really are not which is my suspicion.
The challenge for the Conservatives is to prove they are our voice in Westminster rather than Westminster's voice in our communities; a task that will always be more difficult for a unionist party if they are monolithic or act at the behest of the usual lobbies. The Conservatives have to give up their bias that 'public' is bad and 'private' is good, both approaches have their weaknesses but some areas of life are better organized through the non-profit and the democratically accountable. There is nothing in Conservative thinking that should make them against devolution both to Cardiff and more so… Read more »

This is the problem – old Conservative traditions have been completely swamped by money orientated, privatisation loving thatcherites. All in the hope the money will trickle down to the person on the shop floor or employers will act benevolently and invest in their local communities and all with as less regulation as possible involved. It doesn't work – employers do not invest in their communities and the profits do not trickle down to the workers, instead CEOs get huge bonuses and share holders rake it in. Without some sort of regulation the average worker would be no better off than… Read more »

Fritz the Opiniated but Often Wrong
As an old-fashioned anarcho-syndicalist and ardent proponent of the independence of all nations,especially Cymru, I welcome this article. We all need to engage respectfully with people we disagree with. By submitting this article, the author has done this. I'd love to have a pint with them and see where we can agree on how to make the lives of the people in Cymru better in the future.
Reply to Fritz the Opiniated but Often Wrong
You are right. To be be able to courteously exchange differing views is a mark of civilisation. On that can be built common policies for a common cause.
Lloyd Orange
I think it's healthy to have a forum where conservative and liberal opinions can be expressed. To be honest I was surprised and relieved that the article didn't talk abolishing the Assembly. They'll have to call it abolish the Senedd now, doesn't have such a good ring to it.. | {

who you are and what you already know - but have forgotten!
Option 1: Initiation into the Divine Feminine – 6 month program.
Option 2: Priestess Initiation - 1 year & a day program.
We already have this wisdom deep within us.
It is already in your bones, your cells, your soul - calling you.
It is time to remember what has been forgotten.
I know as you sit in nature you feel it.
Initiation is the process through which we claim our sovereign nature as a manifestation of the Divine Feminine, the female aspect of spirit incarnate. Inherent in our Divine Feminine nature lives the wisdom of all times, all nature, and the mystic realms.
Why am I offering this program?
I heard the call at a young age and took the Vow of the Priestess decades ago.
Remembering has changed my life.
Remembering has awakened in me a deep and powerful knowing of who I am.
Remembering has awakened in me the collective presence of all the women who have walked, prayed, chanted, danced, laughed and cried together since the beginning of time. They are a part of me. They are within me. They walk with me and I with them.
Remembering has empowered how I live in my skin as a woman.
Remembering has enabled me to consciously live in synch with the cycles and rhythms of nature and to tap into the power of creation.
Remembering has increased my juiciness as a woman.
Remembering has awakened endless changes in my experience here on earth!
I am a Feminine Shaman/Priestess and I have spent much of my life leading ritual circles, women's sacred circles, rites of passage celebrations for Maidens, Mothers- Queens and Crones, Women's Initiation & Priestess programs, moon lodges, women's lodges, as well as decades working with women in my practice as a spiritual guide, psychotherapist, Energy & Sound healing practices, and Highest Good Coach.
My first book, which I wrote with my amazing co-author Linda Wolf - Daughters Of The Moon - Sisters Of The Sun: Young Women & Mentors On The Transition To Womanhood, includes powerful stories of young women, and wise women mentors including: Maya Angelou, The Indigo Girls, Angela Davis, Starhawk, Marion Woodman, Lindsay Wagner, Michelle Akers, Bella Abzug, Wilma Mankiller and others.
My most recent book - Life Is The Ceremony: How We Live It Is the Ritual - The Journey Of A Feminine Shaman chronicles my life and teachings as a Shaman/Priestess, the mystical visions and my journeys inter-dimensionally.
It is essential now that as many of us as possible remember, and I am committed to guiding as many women as possible to the core of this remembering.
It was a long time ago when these were our WAYS.
We are called to recreate this in our lives so we may live fully from within, from the power that moves inside of us.
We are called to connect with other wise women in these WAYS again.
Initiation into the Divine Feminine – 6 month program.
This is for all women wanting to awaken to their Divine Feminine Sovereign Nature, awaken the memory of the practices of Earthbased traditions, - the Ways Of Women, and to learn how to align with these energies to empower their lives. It covers all of the content areas listed below.
Priestess Initiation - 1 year & a day program.
This advanced program is or women who are called to study more deeply into the wisdom, and to prepare for taking the Vow of Priestess.
A Priestess, as with any other spiritual leader and healer, studies their chosen practice, cultivates healing modalities, and takes a life long vow of service and commitment to live as a spiritual beacon on their own unique path.
It is the women who will lead the way towards personal and planetary peace and transformation.
Once we make the choice to awaken and remember this wisdom our lives will never be the same.
In earlier times the Initiation process took many years of study with an elder, a priestess, shaman, medicine woman.
In current times our access to information and ability to communicate through technology, and the collective shift of consciousness, allow for this process to be accelerated.
If you choose to take the Vow Of The Priestess it is essential, as it always has been since ancient days, that you study with an Initiated Priestess, Shaman, Medicine Woman who has extensive experience walking the Priestess path.
This knowledge is powerful and must be used wisely and in accord with light and love – for the good of all.
We need each of you who are called to step up and claim your place, as women throughout time who have come before you have done.
The most essential step is what takes place in your own heart. If you have listened closely and feel the call in your heart and soul then the time is right.
All you need now to do is seek the support to guide you on your way.
I invite you to dive in to the depths of your wisdom and live your life as the Empowered Divine Woman you are.
Most cultures have some form of Sacred Wheel that teaches the wisdom mirrored in the cycles and elements of nature, and the Natural Cosmic Laws of Creation. This wisdom is used to guide our lives, ritual and ceremony, for healing and for moving between the worlds. Pagan, Wiccan, Gypsy, Celtic, African, Shamanism and other traditions draw from the wisdom of the Sacred Wheel.
The program integrates the ancient Ways Of Womyn by weaving these areas into a practical and accessible body of material. We will incorporate a combination of Earhbased traditions with an emphasis on Pagan, Celtic, Wiccan & transcendent traditions.
You will develop a keen awareness, and cultivate tools, enabling you to align with the powers of nature, the mystical energies mirrored in nature and in quantum physics. Modern science has embraced these teachings in the form of Quantum Physics.
Though the program provides you the information you will need, the process is very personal and individualized.
Bi-weekly - Inspiring, informative, reflective on-line materials and exercises to guide you as you dive deeply along this journey.
E-mail support as you work the exercises during each two week period.
Bi-weekly check-ins with Wind via Skype, video chat, or phone.
Which Course Option are you Interested in?
Option One - Initiation into the Divine Feminine – 6 mo. program.
Option Two - Priestess Initiation 1 year & a day program.
Thank you! Wind will be in touch with you soon, to complete your registration process. | {

Tiger Woods is watching the Presidents Cup. And he got a call DURING play

Tiger Woods and Davis Love III at the 2020 PGA Championship.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Davis Love III had a sec, so he called one of his analytics guys. And Tiger Woods answered.
They're playing the Presidents Cup this week, Woods isn't at Quail Hollow, but he's apparently being kept in the loop. A multiple-time player in the event, and a winning player-captain in its last go-around, in 2019 in Australia, Woods has paused things for a while after playing three majors this year following his car crash early last year. Though his TV is on.
His phone, too.
"He's spoken to a lot of people on the team," Love said Thursday to a small group of reporters. "I was standing there on 6 tee for like an hour, a long time, so I called him and we talked for a while. And I said, well, at least you're watching on TV. Call us if you see anything.
"He's having fun."
The last time we saw the 15-time major winner, he was waving to fans and walking across the Swilcan Bridge two months ago at St. Andrews, his play at the Open Championship over after 36 holes. From there, Woods wouldn't commit to much as he continues to rehab multiple right-leg injuries, though he pledged to help Love.
He's weighing in, though Love would not reveal what he and Woods talked about Thursday. He's been on Zoom calls. He's getting stat dumps. In a pre-tournament press conference earlier this month, Love notably brought up that latter point.
Tiger Woods, number cruncher.
The 2022 Presidents Cup is off to a nightmare start. Still, it's far from over
By: Dylan Dethier
"He's very involved. He's very helpful," Love said. "We send him the analytics stuff we get and he makes his own pairings and sends them to us. I still have copies of the notes he was sending me back in 2015 to get ready for 2016. He's a great — he's his own analytics team and he gives us a lot of great information.
"He'll be very helpful. He just can't come to the Presidents Cup, but the text messages and the Zoom calls and the e-mails will be flying for sure."
Comically, Woods also was the first to tell Webb Simpson he would be an assistant captain this week, before, you know, Love.
At the Wyndham Championship last month, Simpson shared a detailed play-by-play.
"It was last Tuesday and I was actually in Wilmington, North Carolina, with my family and we were at Trolley Stop, our favorite hot dog joint," Simpson began. "My kids had already made the owner mad because they continued to open the door, so I'm stressing, it's my turn to order, my phone rings, I looked down and it's Tiger. I told Tiger I had to call him back, I got to order my hot dogs. So order my hot dogs, get out of there, call him back and yeah, he just kind of referenced me being from — you know, living in Charlotte, Quail Hollow's my home, that he thought it would bring a lot to the team.
Kevin Kisner lets loose: Kiz holds court on Phil Mickelson, Jay Monahan and teasing teammates
"It meant a lot, but honestly, I got done with the phone call and I'm like, I don't know if that was official or not. I don't know if he meant like he's rooting for me to be assistant or if I am assistant.
"So I just waited, and I saw Zach [Johnson, another assistant captain] on Wednesday, or I guess yeah, the next day in Detroit, and Zach and I had a laugh about it. I said, Davis still hasn't called me, so I don't know. And then Davis gave me a shout I guess maybe the next night.
"But yeah, not that I feared not being a part of it, but there was a part of me that's like, if I don't make the team and Davis goes a different direction, that's fine, but it's going to be hard to see the Presidents Cup happen there and not be a part of it in some way. So I was really, really relieved to get a chance to be a part of it."
As for the rest of this week? After Thursday's first day, the Americans lead 4-1, but there are three more days of play. And three more days of broadcasts. So …
"He obviously misses it," Love said Thursday. "The other night on a Zoom call, Fred [Couples, another assistant captain] said, 'When you getting in?' And Tiger said, 'What did you say? I can't hear you.' I know he wishes he was here. You know, it's not easy to bang around on carts and walk up and down the hills. I get it. But we're including him."

AP Announces It Will Capitalize Black But Not White
The associated press (ap) announced Monday that it will capitalize the word "black" but not "white."
From the ap, "AP says it will capitalize Black but not white":
After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word "Black" when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for "white."
The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don't have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.
Protests following the death of George Floyd, which led to discussions of policing and Confederate symbols, also prompted many news organizations to examine their own practices and staffing. The Associated Press, whose Stylebook is widely influential in the industry, announced June 19 it would make Black uppercase.
I'm thinking I should stop capitalizing "ap" because they're no longer a real journalism outlet.
In some ways, the decision over "white" has been more ticklish. The National Association of Black Journalists and some Black scholars have said white should be capitalized, too.
"We agree that white people's skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore these problems," John Daniszewski, the AP's vice president for standards, said in a memo to staff Monday. "But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs."
Journalism.txt.
White people only have a "shared history and culture" when they're being accused of oppressing PoCs through their "white privilege."
Columbia Journalism Review, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, NBC News and Chicago Tribune are among the organizations that have recently said they would capitalize Black but have not done so for white.
"White doesn't represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does," The New York Times said on July 5 in explaining its decision.
As the New York Post reported Saturday, the family which owns the new york times were slaveholders.
A word-scan of their articles published over the last decade or so clearly shows policing anti-blackness is not their main concern.
The ap continues:
CNN, Fox News and The San Diego Union-Tribune said they will give white the uppercase, noting it was consistent with Black, Asian, Latino and other ethnic groups. Fox cited NABJ's advice.
CBS News said it would capitalize white, although not when referring to white supremacists, white nationalists or white privilege.
On Thursday, the AP Stylebook recommend journos use "gender-neutral language" and replace words such as "man-made" with "human-made" and "mankind" with "humankind."
Some examples from our guidance on gender-neutral language: Instead of the word mankind, try; humanity, humankind, humans, human beings, people. Instead of man-made: human-made, human-caused, artificial, synthetic. Host, not hostess. Hero, not heroine. Firefighter, not fireman.
— APStylebook (@APStylebook) July 16, 2020
Earlier this year, as BLM rioters were engaged in widespread looting the AP put out a statement telling everyone to refer to the looters as "protesters" who "stole whatever."

This is what now passes for "journalism."

Malaysian Premier Tells Colleagues He Will Resign, Minister Says
mamadou August 16, 2021 August 15, 2021 Malaysia, News, Politics
Embattled PM Muhyiddin set to meet king on Monday: minister
UMNO could take over government with new prime minister
Malaysia's Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin told his party he plans to resign on Monday, a cabinet member said, potentially fueling further political and economic challenges in the pandemic-hit country.
Muhyiddin, 74, told members of his ruling Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia that he plans to meet the king on Monday and submit his resignation letter, Mohd Redzuan Yusof, a minister in the Prime Minister's Department, told Bloomberg News. He had earlier disclosed the information to reporters after a party meeting Sunday morning.
The prime minister had explored "the very last option," the Star cited Mohd Redzuan as saying. Muhyiddin's press aide and office didn't reply to calls and text messages seeking comment on his intentions, or to confirm Mohd Redzuan's comments.
ers to support a slew of reforms before he calls a general election by July 2022 — a proposal that was quickly rejected.
"The general incompetence of this government and Muhyiddin's intransigence" has led to this potential development, said Oh Ei Sun, senior fellow at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, citing the leader's attempts to delay parliament. "He should have submitted himself to motions of confidence."
UMNO Returns?
Muhyiddin's resignation, if accepted by the monarch, would end his 17-month hold on power that has been beset by constant demands and threats of defection by lawmakers from the largest party in the ruling coalition, the United Malays National Organisation.
Muhyiddin could stay on as caretaker prime minister until a successor is named. Under constitutional law, any lawmaker who can command a majority in parliament can stake a claim to form the government and the king needs to give his assent to formalize the appointment.
Media reports have speculated that Deputy Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yakcob and veteran politician Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, both from UMNO, are in consideration for the premiership. If true, that suggests the party could have a chance of regaining control of the government after losing elections in 2018 over an unpopular consumption tax and a scandal involving billions of dollars siphoned from state investment firm 1MDB.
UMNO lawmaker, Nazri Aziz, said he has signed a statutory declaration supporting Ismail Sabri as prime minister and asked parliamentarians from the party to do the same. Earlier in August, Ismail Sabri said several UMNO lawmakers were still backing Muhyiddin, even as the party retracted its support.
"All Umno MPs should support this, including those who are opposed to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin," Nazri was cited as saying by the Star newspaper. "He is gone now, so there's no reason not to sign."
While UMNO has a good chance of consolidating its position by bringing its pro-Muhyiddin lawmakers back into the fold, it will have to placate existing coalition partners and build a simple parliamentary majority of 111 seats out of 220. To do this, UMNO needs support from an Muslim-centric party and Muhyiddin's Bersatu with offers that could include cabinet positions.

UMNO also needs to win over several east Malaysian parties and ensure that some disgruntled Bersatu lawmakers don't return to the opposition led by Anwar Ibrahim, which currently holds 89 seats.
Political Uncertainty
The uncertainty in appointing a new premier and forming a government swiftly may worsen the pressure on Malaysian assets, which are already struggling under the weight of the virus outbreak and the prospect of a reduction in U.S. stimulus. The main equities gauge is among the worst performers in the region this year, while the ringgit has underperformed all but two of its emerging Asian peers.
Muhyiddin, who became prime minister after a power struggle following Mahathir Mohamad's sudden resignation last year, had tried to wield control at the start of 2021 by declaring a state of emergency and suspending parliament. He cited the pandemic as a reason and obtained the king's consent, yet infections surged and the economy struggled over conflicting government directives.
Last week, Malaysia's central bank cut its 2021 economic growth forecast for a second time, as renewed movement restrictions and rising Covid-19 infections hamper the recovery. The economy shrank 2% in the second quarter from the first, cutting short a brief uptick and prompting officials to unveil plans over the weekend to ease restrictions on the retail and manufacturing sectors.
"Muhyiddin never stood a chance because he had two fatal flaws," said James Chin, a political analyst and a director of the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania in Australia. "First, he was never able to control UMNO, the biggest party in his coalition. Second, he was never able to control Covid-19 despite advanced warning."
"He had plenty of opportunities to put a plan in place from March to September last year when numbers were low, but he spent all his time fighting with UMNO," Chin said.

We are a brand and experience design agency that believes meaningful connections move the world forward. We collaborate with brands who dare to stand for something greater than business.
We are a brand and experience design agency that believes meaningful connections move the world forward.
We follow an essential truth; people want to believe in something greater than themselves. And, when someone finds an entity worthy of belief, they tell others. This truth informs our approach. We work with clients to identify their core purpose, and from there, we build brands, campaigns and experiences that embolden that purpose.
Just as purpose gives meaning to a brand, meaning has the power to connect people. Design is our medium to do just that. Design is what makes that experience special. So we keep the guest in mind as we craft, create and design, all while striving for that specialness because it beats commoditization eight days a week.
Starting right means ending right. Before we make things look cool, we make sense of them first through research, strategy and ideation.
This is when ideas take shape, sketches become designs, and the excitement around here is palpable.
When designs are complete, we turn them into experiences; connecting brands to consumers at retail, pop-up shops, festivals, online and more.
Our impact is synonymous with brands and humanity. Killer work keeps clients happy and investing in change makes the world better.
Clearly, we're not camera shy. | {

Encon Associates specialise in a range of Air quality Assessment (AQA) services for Planning and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) purposes.
Our consultants provide you with the required information to mitigate planning objections, including scoping reports, screening assessments or detailed air quality impact assessments presented as either a standalone report or a technical chapter within a wider submission document, to help you achieve planning permission.
Why are Air Quality Assessments needed?
Air Quality Assessments (AQA) are increasingly requested in support of planning applications and are often a requirement to discharge planning conditions. The consideration for the suitability of the proposed site use or an assessment of whether a development will cause air quality impacts at sensitive locations, are high on the agenda of Local Authorities. Now specifically referenced within the National Planning Policy Framework, air quality issues are a material consideration for planning approvals and often lead to the refusal of consent for new developments.
Whatever your requirement for air quality assessment we can offer a tailor made service to deal with the needs of your project such as assessing the impact of existing air quality on a proposed residential development, quantifying the impact of a large scale development on a local community or monitoring for nuisance dust around a demolition site. Encon Associates has the required expertise to assist you with your Air Quality Assessment requirements. | {

Old Italian heirloom, rather primitive open kale with blue-green strap leaves that are 3" wide by 10-18" long.
Also know and Tuscan or Dinosaur Kale!
Perfect for making Kale Chips!
The leaves of this extremely winter-hardy variety become sweeter after a hard frost or harvest leaves when young and tender.
Delicious and tender when stir-fried or steamed.
This variety is excellent for a Fall and Winter harvest. | {

Listen to the track below
Say this for Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and Miley Cyrus on "Don't Call Me Angel"—they do sound independent. As in, on different continents. Their single for the new Charlie's Angels movie arrives with glitterbomb hype and blockbuster production—and a video that lets Lana achieve her final form of literally throwing knives at The Man—but its glossy execution comes at the expense of any chemistry between the singers. They arrive sequentially to give cursory verses, sounding variably comfortable in these anodyne pop surroundings—this is Ariana's playground, and possibly Lana's Bad Place—then drift on to more interesting endeavors. There's no interplay, joy, or friction between them. They barely even stick around to harmonize.
The big-budget single is a difficult needle to thread; the usual idea is to assemble an Avengers of talent du jour and hope they're greater than the sum. Love or hate Moulin Rouge, its vampy soundtrack rendition of "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Lil Kim, and Pink reached far more ears than Ewan McGregor scream-singing along to "Roxanne" onscreen. The pop stars of "Don't Call Me Angel" meet at a lower creative common denominator than they've enjoyed lately; from the PG bedroom lyrics to the lightly hip-hop-infused production, this song has the distinct flatness of being created by committee. Their verses dance around the idea of autonomy, making a binary argument about self-sufficiency. All three have offered more interesting statements about womanhood in the past year. Miley's lightly sneering lines are most overt: "I make my money and I write the checks/So say my name with a little respect," she insists, in what feels like a nod to Destiny's Child and their catchier Charlie's Angels hit of 2000, "Independent Women, Pt. 1." Ariana flutters around in her comfortable falsetto range, coquettish yet stern: "Don't you know that I bite when the sun set?" she trills, tossing in the melisma she could sleepwalk through.
Lana is at least a confounding presence; she delivers her own tepid lines with typically breathy monotone, pulling the clichés like taffy until they feel grotesque. "I appreciate the way you want me, I can't lie/I drop it down, I pick it up," she intones, unhurried by the beat scrambling beneath her. Her voice slips by like scratchy polyester; the charitable interpretation of the disconnect in her delivery would be "ironic," but her lackluster strutting in the music video suggests apathy. (Also, as the Victoria's Secret-lite clip hammers home: a movie so quick to trumpet its diversity in casting couldn't do the same with its soundtrack's marquee single?) Charlie, your girl has gone rogue. | {

NZ Herald Interviews Code Founder on Tech Innovations
The New Zealand Herald interviewed Code Innovation Founder, Nathaniel Calhoun for a lengthy piece in the weekend's Business Section available here. The questions focused primarily on how New Zealand could exercise greater positive impact in the world via their citizenry, their business community and their approach to international development.
This country, in particular, is already leading in two particular regards: first with novel and trend-setting approaches to building the commons; and second, with regards to innovating on cooperative business models and the technological tools to support them. New Zealand granted legal personhood to a disputed natural area earlier this year.
This bold precedent has already drawn the attention of foreign governments who are seeking to learn more about NZ's approach. Meanwhile, the folks at Enspiral Collective in Wellington have been leading edge thinkers about the 21st Century Cooperative for several years. Their products like Loomio and Cobudget are sturdy, market-proven resources that change the way that people cooperate and collaborate.
Nathaniel Calhoun will elaborate on some of the points in this article at his opening address to the people gathered in Christchurch, New Zealand next week at the Singularity University Summit.

Our Article on Open Source Aid and Development @ UNICEF Stories
UNICEF recently published our piece over at their Stories of Innovation platform to celebrate Digital Development Principle #6: Use Open Standards, Open Data, Open Source and Open Innovation. Often the discussion around adopting Open Source is framed very narrowly as a challenge to the financial sustainability of a project.
Our post explains why that frame is inadequate, missing the opportunity to learn from emergent trends in commons management, digitally supported cooperatives and more.

PRESS RELEASE: Global Partnership is Crowdfunding to Create Digital Resource for Volunteer Rape Crisis Counselors
Indonesia, 22 February 2016 – Code Innovation is leading a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to create a Rape Crisis Counseling mobile app to support rape survivors and their advocates as they access medical care anywhere in the world. "One in five women will be raped in her lifetime," says Elie Calhoun, Director at Code Innovation. "Where rape crisis centers and their volunteer counselors exist, they provide a vital resource to survivors and their communities. But rape crisis counseling isn't a luxury – it should be available to everyone who needs it, regardless of where they live. And anyone who wants to become a volunteer rape crisis counselor should be able to access the basic training they need to support survivors as they access critical health services."
"DCRCC is pleased to be collaborating on this important global initiative," says the DC Rape Crisis Center, the oldest rape crisis center in the U.S. "It is important that the International Community come together to not only address gender based-violence, but create resources and tools to enable self –determination and freedom for all. This mobile app does just that, it is a game changer for being able to educate and access resources for sexual assault survivors in a timely manner."
The Rape Crisis Counseling app will digitize information and training for volunteer rape crisis counselors, who accompany and advocate for sexual assault survivors in emergency rooms as they access crucial medical services to prevent pregnancy, HIV and STIs. The app will also serve as an in-hand resource for family, friends or colleagues who accompany a rape survivor to the health center, and for survivors accessing medical care alone, to help navigate the medical system and to get the care they need to begin the journey to healing.

PRESS RELEASE: Code Innovation Launches a Crowdfunding Campaign for Rape Crisis Counseling App to Help Survivors Get Medical Care
Indonesia, 14 February 2016 - To celebrate V-Day today, a global day of action to end violence against women, Code Innovation launched our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to build a Rape Crisis Counseling mobile app. The resource will digitize the training that rape crisis counselors receive to become volunteer emergency room advocates for sexual violence survivors. A coalition of U.S. rape crisis centers, gender-based violence experts and women's rights defenders and non-profits are partnering with Code to adapt and create the content so that it's relevant and applicable for the international community. A network of experts and non-profits eager to use the free, Creative Commons resource in their own communities are ready to translate the content into Arabic, Farsi, French and Spanish. One of the crowdfunding campaign's perks is to allow a supporter to determine which language we add next.
"One in five women will be raped in her lifetime. That's more than 700 million women and girls. We're launching the campaign on V-Day to join our efforts with the global day of action to end violence against women. The Rape Crisis Counseling app will put advocacy resources directly into the hands of rape survivors, their family and friends, and would-be volunteers. Anyone who wants to be of service to survivors of sexual violence should have access to the information and training resources they need, wherever they are in the world," says Elie Calhoun, a Principal at Code Innovation.
Since the 1970's, rape crisis centers have provided advocacy and support services to survivors of sexual violence in their local communities. These non-profits train networks of volunteers to become Rape Crisis Counselors, who accompany sexual violence survivors through the process of getting life-saving emergency medical care, including services to prevent pregnancy, HIV and sexually-transmitted infections.
"Even in industrialized countries with well-resourced hospitals, a rape survivor isn't guaranteed to receive the medical care they need," says Calhoun. "In any context, health care providers can let their cultural beliefs and personal opinions about rape and sexual violence interfere. Even in the U.S., there are numerous cases of doctors and nurses being unwilling to provide full emergency services. This is why Rape Crisis Counselors are so important."
"In other countries, health systems may be under-resourced and health care providers may be unaware or unable to provide a survivor with the services they need. In those cases, it's up to the survivor and whoever accompanies her to the health center to understand and advocate for her needs. Right now, there's no mobile resource that helps them do that," says Calhoun.
Smartphone ownership and adoption is growing rapidly around the world. According to GSMA Intelligence's most recent Global Inclusion report, "an additional 1.6 billion citizens worldwide will become mobile internet users over the next six years, bringing the total number of 3.8 billion, or around half of the world's expected population in 2020."
"We see smartphones as an essential tool to empower rape survivors, their family and friends, and the wider community to help ensure that survivors get the emergency health care they need," says Calhoun. "Even if just one person in a community is able to access the Rape Crisis Counseling app in their language, they can share about the resources and help to educate others."

The Telegraph Interview on the Future of Food
Earlier this year we were interviewed by The Telegraph UK for a longer feature about the future of food and emergent food technologies. The author focused her interviews on the entrepreneurs making lab grown meats or egg substitutes or meals-in-a-glass. But we appeared on her radar for holding views slightly outside the mainline of Silicon Valley thinking. As the article concludes, the Telegraph spotlights our concern that new food technologies may be brought to market in ways that create dependencies, especially in low-income countries. While we are excited about animal proteins that can be produced without damaging the environment and productive new crop lines, we're conscious of the delicacy of international supply chains and the tempting nature of monopoly control of something as vital as nourishment.
Our own work in the field of food will continue to build food security in vulnerable communities by raising the sophistication of agro-ecological food production methods.

On the Future of Work at Singularity Hub
As we look at various strategies that might help us to have a graceful ride through the next decades of accelerating technological change, few approaches are as overlooked and as impactful as engaging with and leveraging your local and ecological systems. In "Why we Need Local Economies to Balance Technological Unemployment" we suggest a few practical ways that individuals and businesses can engage with community to bring themselves additional resilience and longevity.
A new wave of social innovations and collaborative technologies seem likely to usher in an era of more inclusive and meaningful governance as well as more creative structures for business or community projects. Stay tuned in the next few months as we share some of the early moments in these hopeful trends.

Stealth Rally in the Social Sector (Our article on Forbes)
Predicting the future is an unavoidable pursuit at Singularity University, where I met my colleague Darlene Damm, a thinker who has her finger on the pulse of global social innovations by virtue of her position at Ashoka. Darlene and I analyzed some of the macro-economic (and technological) trends that will be impacting business over the next decade and see reason to believe that the non-profit and social sectors will outperform both conventional business and government. Have a look at our conclusions and tell us what you think over at Forbes:

Debating the Future of Education on Singularity Hub
At the end of 2015, I contributed an article to the Singularity Hub that spurred a provocative and sustained debate about the role of technological education. While some organizations and politicians have recently suggested that programming (of computer code) should be taught to everybody, I argued that there are many circumstances in which this is a poor idea. It's encouraging that so many people are thinking critically about how to re-imagine education and we hope that the particular needs of vulnerable populations are given particular weight.

Not Just a Pretty Face: Island Poppies Defend With Prickles
Posted on July 8, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
Although the vibrant, waifish petals of the poppy may appear inviting to the casual observer, a closer look reveals a pricklier message: Stay away! To discourage plant eaters like insects and birds from biting into their leafy appendages, many plant species protect themselves with defense mechanisms, like tougher leaves, distasteful latex, and armor made of prickles. Developing these defense features is part of a plant's natural growth throughout its lifetime. Some plants, however, are able to activate additional protection when faced with attacking herbivores. The authors of a recent PLOS ONE paper investigated these defense mechanisms in two species of poppy currently found in Hawaii, where natural herbivores have long been extinct. The authors' results reveal that island poppies may have more "nettle" in the face of simulated adversity than previously predicted.
The authors chose two species of poppy for testing, Argemone glauca, a species native to Hawaii, and Argemone mexicana, a species originally hailing from the North American continent and a recent inhabitant of the Hawaiian islands. Both species come pre-equipped with permanent features that may function as defense strategies. However, permanent defenses are costly to maintain for a plant: They divert energy away from other functions, like reproduction and growth, and are therefore an energy investment for the plant. To combat the cost of maintaining a full suite of permanent defenses, some plants respond to attacks from plant eaters only when they occur by activating additional defenses, known as inducible defenses. Unlike defense features that develop throughout the course of a plant's lifetime, also known as constitutive defenses, inducible defenses are not permanent, only prompted by specific need.
In this study, the researchers simulated the need for additional defenses by subjecting the two species to various "attacks" to see how the poppies would respond. Plants were assigned to one of four random treatment groups:
The control group, which received no treatment
The damage group, where the authors clipped off portions of the leaves
The Jasmonic acid group, where researchers sprayed the leaves with a harmful solution that inhibits growth
And the combination group, where authors defoliated plants first and then sprayed them with Jasmonic acid
The researchers then allowed for two new leaves to grow to ensure that the plants had an adequate amount of time to respond.
Although neither species developed additional leaf toughness or produced more natural latex in response to treatments, both species exhibited increased prickle density on new leaves that grew after treatment. To evaluate prickle density, the authors harvested new leaves and counted all the new prickles on the surfaces of the leaves, excluding prickles found along the leaf edge. They also quantified the leaf area and performed statistical analyses to identify patterns in the various groups.
The authors found that Hawaiian native A. glauca responded more intensely to treatment by developing significantly more prickles than its continental North American counterpart, A. mexicana. The authors report that prickles for A. glauca were 20x more dense and 2.7x higher than A. mexicana.
Plant defenses are selected for over time due to snacking pressures from herbivores. On the Hawaii islands, however, natural herbivores of A. glauca, such as flightless ducks and beetles, are now extinct. The lack of natural predators for island plants has given rise to the idea that island plants have 'gone soft' over time. The authors consider A. glauca's robust response to external attacks evidence that island plants may be better defended than previously thought.
Although it may be impossible to determine whether these island defenses have been selected for by herbivores of the past, no longer present, the inducibility of prickles in A. glauca and A. mexicana demonstrates that these poppies have the mettle to fight back against attackers and snackers.

Statistics Predicted a Healthier Medieval London Following the Black Death
Posted on May 16, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
The Black Death, a pandemic at its height in Europe during the mid-14th century, was a virulent killer. It was so effective that it wiped out approximately one third of Europe's population. Recent studies have shown that the elderly and the sick were most susceptible. But was the Black Death a "smart" killer?
A recent PLOS ONE study indicates that the Black Death's virulence might have affected genetic variation in the surviving human population by reducing frailty, resulting in less virulent subsequent outbreaks of the plague. By examining the differences in survival rates and mortality risks in both pre-Black Death and post-Black Death samples of a London population—in combination with other, extrinsic factors, like differences in diet between the two groups—the researcher found that in London, on average, people lived longer following the plague than they did before it, despite repeated plague outbreaks. In other words, in terms of genetic variation, the Black Death positively affected the health of the surviving population.
To uncover differences in the health of medieval Londoners, Dr. Sharon DeWitte of the University of South Carolina examined 464 pre-Black Death individuals from three cemeteries and 133 post-Black Death individuals from one. She chose a diverse range of samples for a comprehensive view of the population, including both the rich and the poor, and women and children, but targeted one geographic location: London.
The ages-at-death of the samples were determined by calculating best estimates—in statistics these are called point estimates—based on particular indicators of age found on the skeletons' hip and skull bones. Individuals' ages were then evaluated against those in the Anthropological Database of Odense University, a pre-existing database comprising the Smithsonian's Terry Collection and prior age-at-death data from 17th-century Danish parish records.
After estimating how old these individuals were when they died and comparing the age indicators against the Odense reference tool, the author conducted statistical analyses on the data to examine what the ages-at-death could tell us about the proportion of pre- and post- Black Death medieval Londoners who lived to a ripe old age, as well as the likelihood of death.
Survivorship was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier Estimator, a function used to indicate a quantity based on known data; in this case the function evaluated how long people lived in a given time period (pre-Black Death or post-Black Death). The calculated differences were significant: In particular, the proportion of adults who lived beyond the age of 50 from the post-Black Death group was much greater than those from the pre-Black Death group.
Age-at-death Distributions
In the pre-Black Death group, death was most likely to occur between the ages of 10 and 19, as seen above.
The Kaplan-Meier survival plot shows how the chances of survival, which decrease with age, differ for Pre-Black Death and Post-Black Death groups, as seen below.
Survival Functions
As the survival plot indicates, post-Black Death Londoners lived longer than there Pre-Black Death predecessors.
Finally, Dr. DeWitte estimated the risk of mortality by applying the age data to the statistical model known as the Gompertz hazard, which shows the typical pattern of increased risk in mortality with age. She found that overall post-Black Death Londoners faced lower risks of mortality than their pre-Black Death counterparts.
To make long and complicated methodology short, these analyses indicate that post-Black Death Londoners appear to have lived longer than pre-Black Death Londoners. The author estimates that the general population of London enjoyed a period of about 200 years of improved survivorship, based on these results.
The virulent killer, the Black Death, may have helped select for a healthier London by influencing genetic variation, at least in the short term. However, to better understand the improved quality of life of post-Black Death London, the author suggests further study to disentangle two major factors: the selectivity of the Black Death, coupled with improvements in lifestyle for post-Black Death individuals. For example, the massive depopulation in Europe resulted in increased wages for workers and improvements to diet following the plague, which also likely improved health for medieval Londoners. By unraveling intrinsic, biological changes in genetic variation from outside extrinsic factors like improvements in diet, it may be possible to better understand the aftermath of one of the most devastating killers in infectious disease history.

Satellite Telemetry Uncovers the Tracks of Tiny Ocean Giants
Posted on April 30, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
The pygmy blue whale, cousin to the more well-known Antarctic blue whale, has an enigmatic history. Pygmy blue whales dwell in vast expanses of the Indian and southern Pacific oceans, and are a highly mobile species. The species was identified in 1966—although it's likely to have been confused with its cousin the "true" blue whale prior to 1966—so it's only in recent years that we've been able to catch glimpses of these elusive cetaceans during their migrations to and from breeding and feeding grounds. The researchers of a recent PLOS ONE paper tested out a new method of tracking these whales: satellite telemetry (described below). Using this method, the researchers mapped the migration of pygmy blue whales as they moved from the coast of Australia to the waters of Indonesia. We caught up with author Virginia Andrews-Goff to get some additional details on what it's like to track these tiny giants.
How did you become interested in pygmy blue whales, and how did you get involved in mapping their migratory movements?
This research was carried out by the Australian Marine Mammal Centre, a national research centre focused on understanding, protecting and conserving whales, dolphins, seals, and dugongs in the Australian region. The work we carry out aims to provide scientific research and advice that underpins Australia's marine mammal conservation and policy initiatives. We, therefore, have a keen interest in all whales that migrate through Australian waters including pygmy blue, right and humpback whales.
Pygmy blue whales are of particular interest, however, as so little is known in regard to their movements and population status. Large scale movements of whales are particularly hard to study and what we do know about pygmy blue whales we have mainly learnt from examining whaling records. Fortunately, pygmy blue whales were targeted by the whaling industry for only a very short period of time in the late 1950s and early 1960s just prior to the IWC banning the hunting of all blue whales in 1966.
What are the challenges of better understanding whale migration in general?
Large-scale, long-term whale movements are challenging to study as it is impractical to do so by direct observation. Therefore, we need to use devices, such as satellite tags, that can be attached to the whale to provide real-time location information.
What is satellite telemetry and how did it enable your findings?
In this case, satellite telemetry refers to the use of a satellite-linked tag attached to the whale. This tag communicates with the Argos satellite system when the antenna breaks the surface of the water. A location can then be determined when multiple Argos satellites receive the tag's transmissions. We then receive this location data in almost real time via the Argos website, which allows us to track the movement of the tagged whale.
Based on your tracking, you found that the pygmy blue whales traveled from the west coast of Australia north to breeding grounds in Indonesia. Can you give readers a sense of why they travel this route?
Generally, whales migrate between productive feeding grounds (at high latitudes) in the summer to warmer breeding grounds (at low latitudes) during the winter. The exact reason for this general pattern is unclear, though quite a few theories exist, including to avoid predators, to assist the thermoregulatory ability of the calf, and to birth in relatively calm waters. Because of the timing of this migration, we believe these animals travel to Indonesian waters to calve. Usually it is assumed that whales fast outside of the summer when no longer located in the productive feeding grounds. Interestingly, these pygmy blue whales travel from productive feeding grounds off Western Australia to productive breeding grounds in Indonesia and therefore, probably have the opportunity to feed (and not fast) on the breeding grounds.
Satellite tag derived locations of pygmy blue whales by month.
You've mentioned that pygmy blue whale migratory routes correspond with shipping routes. How does this interaction impact the whales?
Baleen whales (whales that use filters to feed instead of teeth) use sound for communication and to gain information about the environment they occupy. When pygmy blue whale movements correspond to shipping routes, there is potential for the noise generated by the ships to play some role in altering calling rates associated with social encounters and feeding.
Why is it important for us to better understand pygmy blue whale migration, and how does mapping their migratory movements help conservation efforts for this endangered animal?
Our coauthor, Trevor Branch, hypothesised in 2007 that pygmy blue whales occupying Australian waters traveled into Indonesian waters. However, prior to this study, we didn't actually know that this was the case. As such, conservation efforts relevant to the pygmy blue whales that use Australian waters are required outside of Australian waters too. We can also now gain some understanding of risks within the pygmy blue whale migratory range, such as increased ambient noise from development, shipping, and fishing, and therefore assist in mitigating these risks.
What's next for you and your research team?
A question mark still remains over the movements of the pygmy blue whales that utilise the Bonney Upwelling feeding grounds off southern Australia. Genetic evidence indicates mixing between the animals in the feeding areas of the Perth Canyon (the animals that were tagged in this study) and the Bonney Upwelling. This indicates the potential for individuals from the Bonney Upwelling to follow a similar migration route to those animals feeding in the Perth Canyon. However, it is also thought that Bonney Upwelling animals may utilise the subtropical convergence region south of Australia. We plan to collaborate on a research project that aims to tag the pygmy blue whales of the Bonney Upwelling and ascertain whether these animals move through the same areas and are therefore exposed to the same risks as the Perth Canyon animals.
We look forward to seeing more from Dr. Andrews-Goff and her team in the future. In the meantime, read more about the elusive worlds of southern Pacific Ocean whales here at the EveryONE blog.

Linking Isolated Languages: Linguistic Relationships of the Carabayo
Like PLOS ONE, the English language is rapidly taking over the world (we kid). In 2010, English clocked in at over 360 million native speakers, and it is the third-most-commonly used native language, right behind Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. While these languages spread, however, other indigenous languages decline at an accelerated pace. A fraction of these enigmatic languages belong to uncontacted indigenous groups of the Amazonian rainforest, groups of people in South America who have little to no interaction with societies beyond their own. Many of these groups choose to remain uncontacted by the rest of the world. Because of their isolation, not much is known about these languages beyond their existence.
The researchers of a recent PLOS ONE paper investigated one such language, that of the Carabayo people who live in the Colombian Amazon rainforest. Working with the relatively scarce historical data that exists for the Carabayo language—only 50 words have been recorded over time—the authors identified similarities between Carabayo and Yurí and Tikuna, two known languages of South America that constitute the current language family, Ticuna-Yurí. Based on the correspondences, the authors posit a possible genealogical connection between these languages.
Few resources were available to the authors in this endeavor. They analyzed historical wordlists collected during the last encounter with the Carabayo people in 1969—the only linguistic data available from this group— against wordlists for the Yurí language. In addition, they sought the expertise of a native speaker of Tikuna, a linguist trained in Tikuna's many dialects. Using these resources, the authors broke down the Carabayo words into their foundational forms, starting with consonants and vowels. They then compared them to similarly deconstructed words in Yurí and Tikuna.
The examination involved the evaluation of similarities in the basic building blocks of these words: the number of times a specific sound (or phoneme) appeared; the composition and patterns of the smallest grammatical units of a word (a morpheme); and the meanings attached to these words. When patterns appeared between Carabayo and either Yurí or Tikuna, the authors considered whether or not the languages' similarities constituted stronger correspondences. They also paid attention to the ways in which these words would have been used by the Carabayo when the lists were originally made many years ago.
The Yurí language was first recorded in the 19th century, but it is thought to have become extinct since then. From these lists, five words stood out: in Carabayo, ao 'father', hono 'boy', hako 'well!', and a complex form containing both the Yurí word from warm, noré, and the Yurí word, t?au, which corresponds in English to 'I' or 'my'. Given the evidence, the authors contend that the strongest link between Carabayo and Yurí is found in the correspondence of t?au. The study of other languages has indicated that first person pronouns are particularly resistant to "borrowing", or the absorption of one language's vocabulary into another. Therefore, the authors surmise it is unlikely in this instance that either of the languages absorbed t?au from the other, but that they share a genealogical link.
Similarly, the comparison of Carabayo words to words of the living language of Tikuna provided a high number of matches, including in Carabayo gudda 'wait' and gu 'yes'. The matches especially exhibit sound correspondences of Carabayo g (or k) and the loss of the letter n in certain circumstances. Table 7 from the article shows the full results (click to enlarge):
Carabayo-Tikuna correspondences
Although it is possible that the Carabayo language represents a language that had not yet been documented until the time of 1969, the results of the researchers' evaluation have led them to conclude that Carabayo more likely belongs to the language family of Ticuna-Yurí. The relationship of Carabayo to Yurí and Tikuna changes the structure of the Ticuna-Yurí family by placing Carabayo on the map as a member of that family. The Tikuna language, once considered to be the sole surviving member of the Ticuna-Yurí family, might now have a sibling, and the identity of a barely known language has become that much more defined.
For the authors, this research is a complicated endeavor. The desire to advance our knowledge and understanding of these precious languages must be balanced with the desires of the uncontacted indigenous groups, some of whom voluntarily choose to remain in isolation. As the authors themselves express, the continued study of these uncontacted languages seeks to engender an awareness in the larger community of the people who speak these languages, and to reiterate their right to be left to live their lives as they wish—in isolation.

A Disease of Considerable Antiquity: Cancer Detected in a Nubian Skeleton
Posted on March 19, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
Cancer, the transformation of normal cells into malignant tumor cells, reigns among diseases as one of the leading causes of death around the world. In 2012, cancer claimed 8.2 million lives, and numbers continue to increase each year. While our understanding of cancer is far from complete, we've been able to attribute some of the killer's virulence to increased environmental risk: Increased pollutants and other environmental carcinogens, coupled with an average increase in tobacco and alcohol use and added to a concurrent decrease in daily exercise, cumulatively represent significant risk factors directly related to an increasingly modern world. Ironically, we humans also live a lot longer than we used to, which increases the disease's chances of occurring.
However, we have identified far fewer examples of the disease in the archaeological record compared to its current frequency in the current population, which has led to the idea that cancer was much less widespread in antiquity. As a result, very little is known about its evolutionary history.
As part of a larger research project undertaken by the British Museum in the city of Amara West, Sudan, the authors of a PLOS ONE paper dug a little deeper into the dark, early history of cancer. Their subject of interest was an over 3,000 year-old skeleton of a young man from ancient Nubia, then part of Egypt, whose remains were excavated at this site, designated on the map below.
When the researchers uncovered skeleton 244-8, as he has been cataloged, they were presented with the difficulties of examining a less-than-complete body. Parts of the skeleton had been broken, highlighted as fragmentary in the image below. In addition, salt in the surrounding soil had slowly damaged the skull over time. The soft tissue of the over 3,000-year-old skeleton, was also long gone.
On top of these difficulties, damages to the body incurred over time, both before and after death, can look very similar to the eye. Cancer, in particular, is notoriously hard to diagnose in human remains; its similarities to other pathologies combined with natural damages sustained after burial made the researchers' task of properly diagnosing skeleton 244-8 a complicated one. The earliest signs of cancer in bone are also only visible via methods like X-ray that allow us to visualize the inner parts of bone where the disease begins, which the naked eye cannot see.
The researchers assessed the condition of skeleton 244-8, using digital microscopes, scanning electron microscopes (SEM), and radiography (X-rays), and by examining the visual markers on the bone. They looked for evidence of sustained lesions, or damage on the bone, which they found on his vertebrae, ribs, sternum, pelvis, and other parts of the skeleton.
In the X-ray and photo image above of a rib, we can see the damage as noted by the arrows. The parts of the skeleton most affected by lesions were sections of the spine. The image below depicts an especially damaged thoracic vertebra.
The authors discussed four possible causes for the skeleton's bone damage:
Metastatic organ cancer, or the rapid creation of abnormal cells that spread from the original site in the organs to other parts of the body
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow
Taphonomic damage, or natural decay after death
Although very similar, the visual markers on bone differ slightly depending on the malady causing the damage. We can see in the image below of the tibia that taphonomic damage caused by insects is slightly more uniform in shape than lesions caused by cancer, and the holes continue straight through to the other side of the affected bone.
Based on the shape, size, and appearance of the lesions under X-ray, the authors surmised that the man suffered from metastatic cancer, originating in the man's organs. However, since no soft tissue was preserved over time, it is nearly impossible to ascertain the exact location of skeleton 244-8's primary tumor, which would have affected soft tissue like his organs.
Considering the decay caused by time, salt, and insects, the researchers were able to ascertain quite a lot about skeleton 244-8 based on their examinations of the skeleton. In addition to diagnosing him with metastatic cancer, researchers suggest that skeleton 244-8 was a young man between the ages of 25 to 35 who belonged to a middle-class Nubian family at the time of his death, based on the context of his burial.
With increasing advances in the technology used to examine subjects like skeleton 244-8, the inner secrets and pathologies held in places like the inside of bone become less of a mystery. With further study, we'll be able to understand a little more about the environmental risk factors of skeleton 244-8's own world: for instance, the possible use of fires in poorly ventilated mudbrick houses, or possible infectious diseases spread by parasites. By taking a closer look at human remains like skeleton 244-8, it may eventually be possible to see the effects of a disease not only of our time, but of considerable antiquity.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, but Predictable World: Scaling the Patterns of Ancient Urban Growth
Posted on February 21, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
With more than 7.1 billion people living across the globe, cities house more than 50% of the world's population. The United Nations Population Fund projects that by 2030 more than 5 billion people will live in cities across the world. The Global Heath Observatory, a program run by the World Health Organization, predicts that by 2050, 7 out of 10 people will live in cities, compared to 2 of 10 just 100 years ago.
Recently, researchers developed what is called "urban scaling theory" to mathematically explain how modern cities behave in predictable ways, despite their unprecedented growth. Recent work in urban scaling research considers cities "social reactors". In other words, the bigger the city, the more people and more opportunity for social interaction. Think for a moment about the social interactions that occur just on the block outside of your local coffee shop; now multiply those interactions by millions. Cities magnify the number of interactions, increasing both social and economic productivity and, ultimately, encouraging their own growth.
The authors of a recent PLOS ONE paper sought to determine whether ancient cities "behaved" in predictable patterns similar to their modern counterparts. To do so, they developed mathematical models and tested them on archaeological settlements across the Pre-Hispanic Basin of Mexico (BOM, approximated by the red square in the figure below). Based on their findings, they suggest that the principles of settlement organization, which dictate city growth, were very much the same then as they are now, and may be consistent over time.
To test their predictions, the researchers analyzed archaeological data from over 1,500 sites in the BOM, previously surveyed in the 60s and 70s by researchers from the University of Michigan and Penn State.
Using low-altitude aerial photographs and primary survey reports from the original surveyors, the researchers organized the following data from approximately 4,000 sites: the settled area, the average density of potsherds—broken pieces of ceramic material—within it, the count and total surface area of domestic architectural mounds, the settlement type, the estimated population, and the time period.
The researchers were interested in examining areas of the BOM that enabled social interaction between residents, so they excluded site types that did not allow social interaction, for example, isolated ceremonial centers, quarries, and salt mounds. They then grouped the remaining 1,500 sites into both chronological groups and size groups. For chronological grouping, each site was assigned to one of four time periods: the Formative period (1150 B.C.E.–150 B.C.E.), the Classic period (150 B.C.E.–650 C.E.), the Toltec period (650–1200 C.E.), and the Aztec period (1200-1519 C.E.). By the Aztec period, the area had developed from amorphous rural settlements to booming metropolises comprising over 200,000 people.
For site grouping, settlements greater than 5,000 people were categorized differently than smaller settlements. In the figure above, panel B denotes settlements dating to the Formative period (1150 B.C.E.–150 B.C.E.), and panel C, settlements dating to the Aztec period (1200-1519 C.E.).
After separating the data into both chronological groups and size groups, the researchers applied their mathematical models and tested their predictions about urban growth in the settlements of the BOM. One aspect of city development assessed by the researchers was the evolution of defined networks of roads and canals in growing cities. Because roads act as conduits, directly influencing social interaction—much like the roads leading to the aforementioned coffee shop—growing cities develop increasingly defined networks to connect social hubs to one another.
Take, for example, the figure below, which displays both a city in an early stage (panel A) and later (panel B) of growth:
Panel A shows the early, or Amorphous Settlement Model, displaying a small settlement easily accessible to the individual via walking, and thus negating the necessity for clearly defined networks of roads. Panel B, on the other hand, shows the Networked Settlement Model, an infrastructure-dense area where networks are clearly defined to accommodate the increased size of the city and density of the residents. Larger cities analyzed by the authors, like Teotihuacan of the Classic period and Tenochtitlán of the Aztec period, epitomize the Networked Settlement Model with its organized network of roads and canals. The findings from the BOM echo the earlier-stated notion that, like their modern counterparts, ancient cities may have acted as "social reactors", in part by facilitating an increasingly defined network of roads, themselves directly influencing the ability of residents to socially interact.
Scientists use urban scaling theory to show that population and social phenomena follow distinct, mathematical patterns over time. By developing mathematical models to predict measurable changes in city growth, these researchers applied the same patterns to ancient cities and concluded that the development of settlements over time in the BOM seem analogous to those observed in modern cities. Researchers predict that the same mathematical models could be reformatted to estimate population size of ancient cities, as well as to develop measures for calculating socio-economic output like the production of art and public monuments based on the relationship size between settlement size and division of labor. Although there is still much to be solved through the equations of urban scaling theory, the consistency of city growth over time has implications for both the past and the present.

The Missing Underwater Forests of Australia: Restoring Phyllospora comosa Around Sydney
Posted on January 29, 2014 by Samantha Wallace
Although seaweed is the dominant habitat-forming organism along temperate coastlines, one of the major macroalgae of Australia, Phyllospora comosa, has disappeared over the last forty years from the urban shores around Sydney, Australia. Human activity is likely related to the degradation of these habitats in urbanized areas: During the 1970s and 1980s, humans discharged large amounts of sewage from nearby cities along surrounding coasts. Unfortunately, despite significant improvements in water quality around Sydney since, Phyllospora has not returned. To test whether Phyllospora can ever be restored in reefs where it was once abundant, authors of a recent PLOS ONE paper transplanted Phyllospora into two reefs in the Sydney area. In this interview, corresponding author Dr. Alexandra Campbell from the University of New South Wales elaborates on the group's research and the impact of these 'missing underwater forests':
You've said that "seaweeds are the 'trees' of the ocean". Can you tell us a little more about your study organism, Phyllospora, and explain its importance for coastal ecosystems around Australia?
Phyllospora comosa (known locally as 'crayweed') grows up to 2.5 m in length and forms dense, shallow forests along the south-eastern coastline of Australia, from near Port Macquarie in New South Wales, around Tasmania to Robe in South Australia. Individuals appear to persist on reefs for around 2 years and are reproductive year round.
How do these ecosystems change with the reduction of seaweed forests?
Large, canopy-forming macroalgae provide structural complexity, food and habitat for coastal marine ecosystems and other marine organisms. When these habitat-formers decline or disappear, the ecosystem loses its complexity, biodiversity decreases and many ecosystem services are also lost. Losing large seaweeds from temperate reefs has analogous ecosystem-level implications to losing corals from tropical reefs.
We're interested in learning more about how you got involved in this research. Can you tell us how you became interested in studying Phyllospora?
For my doctorate, I studied how changing environmental conditions may disrupt relationships between seaweeds and microorganisms – which are abundant and ubiquitous in marine environments – potentially leading to climate-mediated diseases. During my PhD, my colleagues (Coleman et al.) published a paper describing the disappearance of crayweed from the urbanised coastline of Sydney and hypothesised that the cause was the high volume, low treatment, near shore sewage outfalls that used to flow directly on to some beaches and bays in the city. I wondered whether this pollution may have disrupted the relationship between Crayweed and its microbial associates and that's how I got involved in the project.
Why is the loss of canopy-forming macroalgae difficult to study retrospectively and how has this informed your current study?
Once an organism has disappeared from an ecosystem, it can be difficult to piece together the processes that caused its demise, particularly if the disappearance occurred several decades ago and the ecosystem state shifted dramatically as a consequence. In our study, we hypothesized that poor water quality might have caused the decline of Phyllospora. There have been significant improvements in water quality in the region since the decline, but the species and ecosystems they used to support have failed to recover. To test whether the water quality has improved enough to allow recolonisation of this seaweed, we transplanted the seaweed back onto reefs where it was once abundant. The survival rates of transplanted seaweed were very good, suggesting that with a little help, this species may be able to recolonize Sydney's reefs.
What were some of the difficulties you faced while conducting your research?
Moving hundreds of large seaweeds many kilometres from donor populations to the restoration sites was a big job. Thankfully, we received a great deal of help from many volunteers from the local community – mostly divers, with an interest in conserving and restoring the marine ecosystems they visit recreationally and value as a natural resource.
You've talked about Phyllospora 'recruitment' at one recipient site. Can you explain in greater detail what a 'recruit' is and how this is important for the success of a restoration site?
Phyllospora reproduces sexually, with gametes from male individuals fertilizing gametes from females, forming zygotes, which then attach themselves to the bottom (usually not very far from their parents) and grow into juvenile algae which we call 'recruits'. In the context of restoration, the high level of recruitment (i.e. successful reproduction) we observed at our transplant site is very encouraging because it creates the possibility for the establishment of a self-sustaining population of Phyllospora at this site for the first time in many decades.
Why do seaweed forests receive less attention than other marine ecosystems, for example mangroves or coral reefs?
Most people don't think about seaweeds very often. When they do, it's usually because the sight, touch or smell of seaweed on the beach is annoying or offensive. Even the name "seaweed" conjures negative imagery so perhaps it's a PR issue! Arguably, macroalgae have traditionally received less attention from marine ecologists than other marine ecosystems as well, with much more attention and funding going to coral reef research. With global patterns of declines of temperate, habitat-forming macroalgae, this needs to change and our understanding of the processes that affect seaweed populations needs to grow.
What would a successful restoration of underwater kelp forests mean for the ecosystem and for the local population?
It's our hope that, by restoring habitat-forming macroalgae like Phyllospora, we will also enhance populations of other organisms that rely on this species for food or shelter. Detecting such follow-on benefits of our seaweed restoration program is the focus of ongoing research and our initial results are very encouraging.
You've mentioned that larger scale restoration would be a sound way of combating the grazing (herbivory) you saw. What is the next step forward for you?
Enhanced grazing may be another mechanism by which Phyllospora disappeared from these reefs (or perhaps why it's failed to recover). The impacts of grazing we observed were site-specific, so further investigations in to why one place was so severely impacted by herbivores while the other was not, are needed. Our first step towards resolving this is to establish more numerous restoration patches of different sizes to see whether we can satiate the herbivores and whether smaller patches are more susceptible to grazing than larger patches.

Unearthing the Environmental Impact of Cambodia's Ancient City, Mahendraparvata
From the 9th to the mid-14th century, the region of Angkor in modern-day northern Cambodia was the capital of Khmer Empire and the largest preindustrial city in the world. Home to possibly more than three quarters of a million people, several different urban plans and reservoir systems, and impressive monuments like the temple of Angkor Wat (pictured from a bird's-eye-view above), Angkor was the core of the Khmer Empire, which dominated Southeast Asia by the 11th century CE. Like many modern, booming cities, Angkor was fed by water sourced from another city.
Mahendraparvata, a hill-top site in the mountain range of Phnom Kulen, is significant as the birthplace of the Khmer Kingdom and as the seat of Angkor's water supply. In 802 CE, Jayavarman II proclaimed himself the universal king of the Angkor region on the top Mahendraparvata. Jayavarma's ascension to power marked the unification of the Angkor region and the foundation of the Khmer Empire.
Until recently, however, little was known about the urban settlement of Mahendraparvata; a dense forest canopy obscures a great deal of the area's archaeological landscape. To determine the extent of land use around Mahendraparvata, the authors of a recent PLOS ONE paper examined soil core samples taken from one of the Phnom Kulen region's reservoirs.
As Angkor's source of water, Phnom Kulen's archaeological landscape is littered with hydraulic structures, like dams, dykes, and reservoirs (points A, B, and E on the remote sensing digital image shown below), meant to store and direct Angkor's water sources strategically. The researchers focused on an ancient reservoir upstream of the main river running north to south, now a swamp, to find evidence of intensive land use.
Core samples taken from the sediment of this ancient reservoir, point F on the image above, provided the researchers with chronological layers of earth containing organic materials, like wood, pollens, and spores, which could be assessed using radiocarbon dating.
By analyzing the sediment cores, researchers found that the reservoir was likely in use for about 400 years. Although the age of the reservoir itself remains inconclusive, sediment samples suggest that the valley was flooded in the mid-to-late 8th century CE, around the time Jayavarman II unified the area.
The authors found that medium-to-coarse sand deposition in the sediment samples beginning in the mid-9th century points to the presence of continual soil erosion, either from the surrounding hills or from the dyke itself, likely caused by deforestation in the area. By analyzing samples from the late 11th century, the authors found that the last and largest episode of erosion occurred, a possible result of intensive land use.
The researchers suggest that deforestation, as evidenced by soil erosion, implies that "settlement on Mahendraparvata was not only spatially extensive but temporally enduring." In other words, the estimated extent of deforestation by continual sand deposits from the mid-9th century to the late-11th century in core samples indicates that Mahendraparvata was home to a large and thriving urban network in need of resources.
However, an increase in pollen spores dated to the 11th century, followed by the establishment of swamp forests in the early to mid-12th century in the reservoir, reflects that, by this time, the reservoir had fallen out of use, perhaps linked to changes in water management throughout the broader area, and possible population decline nearby. According to mid-16th century samples, the swamp flora around this time appears to have developed into the swamp flora seen today in the ruins of Mahendraparvata.
For some 400 years, the Phnom Kulen mountains acted as the main source of water for the Angkor region. The change of water management practices in the Phnom Kulen region has implications for the water supply to Angkor itself. In sum, by examining core samples drawn from one of Phnom Kulen's ancient reservoirs, authors were able to explore an archaeological landscape that is still largely hidden and a history still mainly obscured by time. The potential link between the rise and fall of urban life in the Angkor region and the use of reservoirs the one used in this study helps to unearth a little bit more about the the Khmer Kingdom and the marked environmental impact of Mahendraparvata.

Underwater Compositions: Song Sharing Between Southern Ocean Humpback Whales
Posted on December 26, 2013 by Samantha Wallace
Imagine a world where sight is limited by the extreme scattering of photons and smell is ineffective due to lethargic diffusion of molecules slowed by the density of water. In these conditions both sight and smell are limited. These conditions characterize, among other things, the ocean, where large sea mammals rely mostly on sound to communicate. The speed of sound is four times greater in water than in air at sea level. Male humpback whales have been observed communicating via ever-changing patterns of vocalization, which scientists have termed 'song'. These whales compose their songs for the purposes of breeding, learning new songs as they come in contact with fellow crooners. Exactly how and when humpback whales learn these songs, however, remains a larger mystery.
To dive more deeply into the nebulous realms of humpback whale song sharing, researchers of a recent PLOS ONE study recorded instances of humpback whale song in the Southern Ocean.
Humpback whale song is identifiable because of its intricate pattern of structure. Songs are composed of multiple sounds types, for example, as these researchers suggest, 'ascending cry,' 'moan,' and 'purr'. When units come together to form a pattern, these units form a phrase. Phrases repeated become a theme, and themes sung in a particular order compose a song. Researchers recorded these compositions by deploying radio-linked sonobuoys, which transmit underwater sound, and then digitized the recordings.
Here is an example of song recorded off the coast of New Caledonia in 2010:
http://blogs.plos.org/everyone/files/2013/12/S3.NC10song.wav
Recordings, like the one above, reveal a possible link between three distinct breeding populations (marked D, E, and F on the map below) off the shores of eastern Australia and the island to the east of New Caledonia with a shared feeding ground in Antarctica (Area V).
In early 2010, the researchers identified four songs near Antarctica that matched themes from eastern Australia in 2009. By July, 2010, all four songs were then also identified in the group from New Caledonia. The themes recognized in New Caledonia in 2010 were entirely different than the themes of 2009, suggesting a movement of new songs eastward from eastern Australia to New Caledonia.
Consequently, the shared feeding grounds in Antarctica used by both the eastern Australia and New Caledonia groups in early 2010 may be the point at which these populations' songs diverged.
By capturing sonobuoy recordings near feeding grounds off the Balleny Islands, researchers recorded the first instances of humpback whale song in Area V of Antarctica.
In addition, the inclusion of feeding grounds into the dynamic pattern of humpback whale song sharing helps shed new light on overall patterns of song learning and transmission from one breeding group to another.
Sound recording off the Balleny Islands near Antarctica, however, is challenging, and the sample of whale singers from this area remains relatively small. Regardless, the song documented here suggests Antarctica (Area V) as an emerging location for future study, and highlights the importance of feeding grounds in the transmission of humpback whale song. Through a better understanding of how and where these dynamic compositions radiate across the Southern Ocean, we can begin to understand humpback whale population connectivity and one of the best examples of non-human, large-scale learning demonstrated throughout the Southern Hemisphere.

Biking the Distance… In 30 Minutes or Less: The Impact of Cost and Location on Urban Bike Share Systems
Posted on November 19, 2013 by Samantha Wallace
Those of us who commute to the PLOS San Francisco office have noticed the emergence of bike share stations cropping up along the San Francisco Bay and on the city's main drag. And we're not alone here in San Francisco: the picture above is from the New York City Department of Transportation's bike share. Around the world, bike share systems, which aim to make bicycles available on a short-term basis to anyone, have experienced massive growth as cities work to decrease gas emissions and encourage people to stay active. However, not everyone is ready to forgo the convenience of four wheels for two just yet. To understand why more people haven't made the switch from cars to bike share systems, the author of a recently published PLOS ONE paper delved into possible factors affecting our willingness to don a helmet and cycle the distance.
Using publically available data from Washington DC and Boston, Dr. Jurdak, an Australian researcher, conducted a series of statistical analyses designed to examine the impact of bike share system pricing and neighborhood layout on potential bikers. It turns out cost is a major factor for commuters and tourists alike, but distance is not. Although analyses showed a bias towards shorter trips with a tendency towards a peak of 6 minutes—averaging 13 minutes per trip—a sharp drop off occurred in the likelihood of trips right around 30 minutes.
Why the decline at around 30 minutes? In both Boston and Washington DC, trips under 30 minutes incurred no additional cost in the bike share pricing system. Registered users of the bike share, typically commuters, must pay an initial registration fee but have a grace period for all trips completed in less than 30 minutes. Trips extending beyond 30 minutes, however, incur additional fees. In other words, public bicyclers are looking to maximize the distance biked and time spent without incurring any additional cost. Researchers have labeled this as 'cost sensitivity.'
Statistical analyses also demonstrated the same cost sensitivity in casual users, or those who do not have a monthly or annual membership, and who likely use the bike share system for tourism. However, instead of noting a decline in the likelihood of trips around 30 minutes, Dr. Jurdak found a decline for casual users at around 60 minutes (another price point).
On the other hand, despite sensitivity to cost, bikers appeared less dissuaded from bike trips based on neighborhood layout. Although stations in Boston were on average much closer to other nearby stations than in Washington DC, in general, the trip distribution for both cities was remarkably similar. Perhaps not surprisingly, the most popular routes taken in both Boston and Washington DC were relatively flat.
To encourage more people to cut the car usage and grab a rental bike, Dr. Jurdak recommends that cities consider incentivizing their constituents with what they care about: cost. Modified prices for bike rental during peak hours may decrease car traffic on congested roads; an extension of grace periods for biking difficult topology, like up a steep San Francisco hill, might encourage us to bike even though the clock is ticking to 30 minutes and an incurred rise in price. As cities look to evolve public transportation systems and increase responsible urban mobility, and as city dwellers look for cost-effective ways to get around, bike share programs continue to offer healthy solutions for all, even at 30 minutes or less.
For more on the effects bike share systems are having around the world, check out another recent PLOS ONE paper and the researchers' blog post on bike webs, visualizations of bike share schemes.

The Balancing Act in Borneo: Managing Deforestation, Sustainability, Biodiversity, Health, and the Value of Rainforests
Posted on October 8, 2013 by Samantha Wallace
Borneo: the third largest island in the world, one-third of which is home to 220,000 km2 of diverse and beautiful rainforest. Borneo is divided among three countries—Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia—and at approximately 130 million years old, the Borneo rainforests are some of the oldest in the world.
The landscape of Borneo, however, is rapidly changing. Natural forest resources provide significant income for both Malaysia and Indonesia, and oil palm plantations, which require the clearing of natural land cover, produced an annual revenue of US $40 billion for Indonesia and Malaysia in 2012. In contrast, Borneo rainforests present the only opportunity for large-scale conservation in Southeast Asia and are one of the few places still called home by large, endangered animals like orang-utans, elephants, bears and rhinos.
This summer, three different PLOS ONE studies addressed the complex issues surrounding deforestation. Separate groups of researchers mapped forest cover and logging roads, conducted statistical analyses on different uses of land, and investigated how Indonesian and Malaysian villagers of Borneo value and use these forests.
To better understand the troubling state of forests in Malaysian Borneo, researchers in one PLOS ONE study mapped forest coverage and conditions. Tracking the condition of big areas of land is no easy task. To accomplish the feat, scientists imaged forests areas using high-definition satellite imagery, charted logging roads, and did some serious number crunching.
Key to this assessment was the actual condition of the rainforests. Are they intact, or have they been degraded—maybe severely so—by the effects of repeated logging? Critical damage is done to soil, waterways, and forest structure when forests are repeatedly logged without enough time to regenerate properly. To assess the condition of the residual forest, researchers distinguished between different types of coverage—bare, mangrove, plantation, and various levels of degradation, for example—and charted the number of logging roads created between 1990 and 2009. The image below depicts the forest cover and condition of Malaysian Borneo and Brunei in 2009.
If one road was built in an area since 1990, the area was classified as degraded. If more than one road had been built in an area since 1990, that area was classified as severely degraded. Researchers charted enough roads built between 1990 and 2009 to circle Earth nine times if placed end-to-end. The image below depicts the new roads constructed in a forested region known as the 'Heart of Borneo' in purple.
Needless to say, a great deal of the forests in Malaysian Borneo was classified as severely degraded. Researchers found that rainforests covered only 22% of land area in Malaysian Borneo in 2009, and of that 22%, only 38% remained intact. What then is the future for these degraded rainforests?
The researchers of a second PLOS ONE study evaluated the role logged forests play in maintaining natural rainforests in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, by conducting statistical analyses on areas designated as protected areas, areas designated for logging, and industrial plantations. Researchers concluded that, when logged responsibly, areas designated for logging, called timber concessions, maintained forest cover just as well as protected areas during 2000-2010. Protecting timber concessions would increase the amount of land dedicated to sustaining larger forest landscapes.
The alternative to returning these logged areas, often considered beyond the point of regeneration, to a state of natural regrowth is reclassification as industrial plantation. Palm oil plantations are economically viable options for Indonesia. However, to make the land viable for industrial planation use, workers must first strip larger trees, burn smaller trees and shrubs, and finally clear the remaining land. These researchers view responsible logging as a compromise in which forests continue to provide economic output to communities, but also are allowed to maintain the veracity of their biodiversity. Rather than being seen as wastelands and turned into industrial plantations, researchers consider timber concessions as valuable areas of tree coverage and biodiversity, which merit classification as IUCN Protected Areas.
However, as researchers from a third PLOS ONE paper state, "Striking a balance between economic development and maintenance of biodiversity is increasingly challenging in the face of climate change, rapid human production growth, and concomitant demand for natural resources." To address the range of ways the forest is valuable, researchers assessed Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo's peoples' perceptions of the values and uses of forests, as well as the factors influencing these perceptions.
Of 1,837 people surveyed from 185 villages in Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo, 67% considered the forest to be important for maintaining their good health. The authors state that the forest was generally perceived as a provider of good health. Moreover, natural forest resources, even in those forests degraded by repeated logging, are important for local people. In their responses, participants frequently mentioned using forests for timber, rattan, fire wood, bushmeat and fish, traditional medicine, and forest gardens. Most people reported using forest resources even in areas severely degraded by logging, or where no canopy cover exists. Researchers therefore concluded that considering these areas "wastelands" or degraded beyond the point of use, with the result that these areas are converted into industrial plantations, is not warranted due to the value placed on resources obtained from forests, regardless of level of degradation.
Researchers also found that many believed small-scale deforestation benefitted welfare. 48% of respondents reported small scale clearing for purposes of farming as positive. Respondents were much less supportive of large-scale deforestation.
Initiatives to strike a balance between economic need and maintenance of these diverse rainforests in Borneo are ongoing. Researchers are divided about the most effective ways to conserve Borneo's important natural forests; whereas the construction of palm oil plantations in place of forests is unquestionably destructive to conservation efforts, the place of logging in Borneo remains less defined. Conserving biodiversity, responsibly maintaining the economy, and valuing the input of local people must all be taken into account when devising compromises for the difficult issue of deforestation. In the meantime, research in Borneo continues to enable a better understanding of Borneo's complex balancing act.

The Power of the Claw: Not Your Average "Soft" Material
Posted on September 20, 2013 by Samantha Wallace
Earlier this month we gave you cuddling between affectionate lions. Lest we become overwhelmed by the desire to cuddle one of these (albeit adorable) feline predators ourselves, here is a look at exactly what one of their clawed paws could do to us, including to one of our toughest components: bone. In a PLOS ONE study published earlier this month, researchers tested the ability of claws to scratch the surface of bone. The effects of claw damage are often overlooked because claws are made of a material softer than bone. Contrary to expectations, however, these researchers found that claws produced recognizable bone damage.
The setup was simple: let a Kansas zoo tiger participating in their enrichment program spend an afternoon leisurely playing with carefully nested cow thigh bones, also called femora. To ensure that the cow femora were only accessible to tiger claws and not to tiger teeth, researchers bolted femora down into a log that was narrowly hollowed out—preventing the big cat from sticking his snout in.
The result: impressively lacerated cow femora. Once tiger playtime was over, researchers removed the log, unbolted the femora, and microscopically examined the bone. Four scratches were clearly visible upon the bone's surface. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image below further highlights the depths of the tiger claw handiwork.
In this particular gouge, the main diagonal chasm in the image, the gulf made by the tiger's claw penetrated the outer covering and subadjacent bone into the bony matrix. As we can see, tiger claws can do some damage.
Damage done to bone, however, is for the most part attributed to the effects of a predator's teeth and not its claws, the reason being that measures of scratch resistance adhere to a so-called Mohs scale of mineral hardness. The Mohs scale is graded, with talc (1) as the softest material and diamond (10) as the hardest. On the scale, harder materials damage softer materials, but not vice versa. And in our case, bones are, in fact, harder than claws. Claws are made of the protein keratin—the same stuff is in hair, wool, nails, horns, and hooves—which scores a meager 2.5 on the Mohs scale. Bone, on the other hand, scores a much more formidable 5.0.
The current research, however, shows that we can expand our understanding of scratch resistance and mineral hardness to include the effects of softer materials striking harder materials, as long as we consider the kinetic energy involved, like the action of a tiger swatting or grabbing with its paw. In essence, more could be going on in the fossil record than previously thought.
Paleontologist and PLOS ONE Section Editor Andy Farke points out in the PLOS ONE blog The Integrative Paleontologist that fossils inevitably resurface as imperfect objects, which is, in part, what makes them so interesting: These fossils bear the visible marks in postpartum decay of a long and varied history. When studying bone narratives, paleontologists encounter everything from water damage to the bore marks of little critters. Including big-critter claw marks in the repertoire of possible bone modifications broadens this narrative and evidences, as the researchers themselves so aptly put it, the power of the claw.

Heating up the Science Behind PLOS' New Climate Change Collection
Posted on August 9, 2013 by Samantha Wallace
From penguin colonies in Antarctica, to California birds and North Carolina bugs, this month PLOS ONE focuses on the far-reaching aspects of climate change. In conjunction with the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), PLOS ONE and PLOS Biology unrolled a new collection of 16 research articles, curated by PLOS ONE Academic Editor, Ben Bond-Lamberty. The collection, "Ecological Impact of Climate Change", features many articles that made a splash in the media. Here are some of the highlights:
Spring flowers are blooming earlier now than they did in the past. In a recent study, researchers compared the average flowering time for native species in Massachusetts and Wisconsin to data recorded by notable American naturalists Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold. These native species have shown remarkable flowering shifts, especially during recent years: In 1865, Thoreau observed the highbush blueberry flowering in mid-May; in 2012, researchers observed this species flowering six weeks earlier in early April. For more about this study, visit National Geographic, NPR, and MSNBC.
Like spring flowers, corals also react to increasing temperatures, but to a much more ghostly effect. When pressured by unusually warm or polluted waters, corals shed the algae that enliven them with color, becoming white.
New research suggests that this phenomenon, known as coral bleaching and often fatal for coral colonies, may not be as devastating as expected: Coral colonies that survived previous coral bleaching were much more likely to rebound successfully the next time it occurred. An astounding 95% of Acropora, a coral species highly susceptible to bleaching, survived at a research site in Singapore in 2010. Read more about these tough coral taxa, in the New York Times blog.
Summer days are heating up in the city, too, and urban, tree-dwelling insects are thriving as a result. A recent PLOS ONE article reports that scale insects like Parthenolecanium quercifex are 13 times more numerous in the hottest parts of Raleigh, North Carolina, than in cooler, neighboring rural areas.
And these scaly squatters don't stop once they settle down. Researchers also found that urban scale insects were four times more abundant when placed in hot greenhouse conditions than rural scale insects in the same conditions. The Atlantic Cities and Discovery News have more on this and other urban insects studies.
As temperatures continue to rise, researchers in this PLOS ONE study integrated climate change threats with traditional conservation concerns by comparing the vulnerability of California's birds in relation to the predicted effects of climate change over the coming years. Of the 29 threatened-bird taxa considered in the state of California, these researchers determined 21 of those 29 (72%) are considered vulnerable to climate change. Lucky for us and the birds who call those most vulnerable coastal environments home, the findings of this study can be used as an assessment tool to foster future conservation efforts. For more local and international coverage, check out KQED News and the Huffington Post.

What Early Neolithic People Left Behind: Levantine Arrowheads Found in Saudi Arabia
Thinking about spending the summer in the sun and sand? Early Neolithic humans may have thought so too, although with more survival-oriented goals in mind. A recent study published in PLOS ONE suggests that early humans, who set up camp in the Eastern Mediterranean (about 10,000 BCE), may have traveled as far as Saudi Arabia in search of game and water.
In this study, researchers unearthed several types of Neolithic arrowheads in the northern peninsula of Saudi Arabia at the site of Jebel Qattar, which suggests a link between Neolithic people of the Levant—modern-day Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and Cyprus—to areas as far south as Saudi Arabia. Arrowheads and other tools are, by and large, the main type of early human artifact observable today prior to the introduction of pottery (about 7000 BCE), and are integral to our understanding of the people who created and used them. Tools and arrowheads types, like the ones discovered at Jebel Qattar, provide researchers with evidence of early technology used for hunting.
Helwan points found at Jebel Qattar
Accurately identifying early Neolithic artifacts is a tough job—these arrowheads are over 10,000 years old, after all—and requires researchers to carefully sift out other objects uncovered during surface collection and trench excavations. In fact, the researchers discovered a total of 887 stone tools at the site of Jebel Qattar, only ten of which have been identified as Levantine types, known more specifically to researchers as El-Khiam and Helwan points. Named for their places of origin in Israel and Egypt respectively, the El-Khiam and Helwan arrowhead types are common to Levantine sites throughout the Neolithic period. This study, however, represents the first time archaeologists have discovered them in the Nefud Desert of Saudi Arabia.
Current understanding of early people living during the Neolithic period is rooted in excavation sites in the Levant and the larger area of the Fertile Crescent—the area in green on the map above—a geographical region containing parts of Western Asia, including the Levant, as well as parts of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta of northeast Africa. The Fertile Crescent is home to several major innovations, including the domestication of animals and the development of cereal, and is often known as the 'cradle of civilization'. The discovery of El-Khiam and Helwan arrowheads in Saudi Arabia alludes to this hotspot of innovation and technology and suggests possible interaction between these early Neolithic peoples.
However, because so little evidence from the Neolithic period survives intact today, our understanding of Neolithic peoples is a work-in-progress. Nevertheless, tracing Neolithic people from the Levant as far as Saudi Arabia suggests that we may want to study broader areas when considering their trajectory. Of course, there is further exploration to be done beyond the borders of the Levant.

A pile of empty boxes.
That's what was visible in our family room around 10 am on Christmas morning.
Thirty days of anticipation and planning had turned into a fever pitch last weekend. All the shopping had been finished, gifts had been wrapped and our annual Christmas cookies had been baked and decorated. We were all ready for Christmas morning.
Within minutes of waking up, however, our gifts were opened. The kids scattered across our home to experiment with new electronics or listen to new music. Hollianne and I collapsed on the couch to watch a marathon of movies (most notably Christmas Vacation…a personal favorite).
And all that remained near the tree was a stack of empty boxes.
The anticipation was gone. The excitement was over.
It was a great reminder about the nature of our lives. This world is not our home. It's a collection of moments that can leave us empty, hurt and dissatisfied.
This world is not built to last.
We are to invest in the eternal. We should spend time with others that push us to be better, more loving people. We need to study and increase our Biblical knowledge and awareness. We should spend time in prayer and meditation- actively communicating with God the Father.
We have promises from Jesus that aren't empty…promises of eternal life, happiness and an audience with God.
Promises that are far better than anything we can experience on this earth.
Please pray for me to invest in relationships and activities that make me a better, more kind person. A person that sees challenges and obstacles as opportunities to grow and serve.
And please let me know how to pray for you!
This time last year was a blur. I was changing jobs and moving across the state. The holidays were filled with hurried goodbyes and anxious hellos. Our family was so preoccupied with the transition that we truly didn't take time to soak in the holidays.
Things have slowed down. We've settled in our new home. We've hosted breakfasts, dinners and devotionals. We broke out old decorations and bought some new ones. We are soaking it up.
But perhaps I've become too self-absorbed.
What a sad thought. His personal pain and struggles had brought him to his knees..to a new low point. In fact, the hustle and bustle of the holidays had created a black cloud over his whole disposition. He just wanted to survive the Christmas holiday.
It's clouded his view of Jesus.
Perhaps you know someone like my old friend…someone who is struggling during the holidays.
Maybe it's an illness or the recent loss of a loved one. Perhaps is a changing family dynamic or a work transition. It could be the pain of a failed relationship.
Whatever the reason- we all know people who are hurting right now. People who are just trying to survive Christmas.
God gives us hope. We know that we'll face hardships and trails in this life, but God provides. We know the good news of Jesus, and we need to seek opportunities to share His love with others.
Let's make those calls to those who need a boost this week.
Let's visit the sick and reconnect with old friends who need a kind word.
Let's display acts of kindness to those who are struggling.
Please pray for me to recognize my opportunities to spread the good news of Jesus- and actively seek out those in need of encouragement.
I don't want anyone to just survive Christmas. I want them to bask in the glory of Jesus.
I was asked to be the lead-off speaker of a popular regional leadership program earlier in the week. As I scanned the room, I saw mayors, bankers, elected officials, doctors and educators. What could I say that might resonate with this group of seasoned leaders?
I decided to focus on what I wanted them to forget.
1) Forget what others have told them about this leadership program. The class has a thirty year legacy, but I urged them to lose any preconceived notions about what they would experience over the next six months.
2) Forget their zip code. All our regional communities are experiencing similar problems. Only by working together could we improve the region.
3) Forget what they know about leadership. Study the materials, question the lessons and their classmates and be open to new ideas.
What if we pursued our study of the Bible with this same plan for 2018?
What if we were to clear our minds of outside distractions and preconceived notions and looked at God's word with a renewed focus?
What if we attempted to study our Bible with new people? People that could challenge our beliefs and push us to focus on what's true?
What if we were to set aside all unscriptural biases we have…and simply read and meditate on what's printed in those sixty-six books of the Bible?
We might find new meaning in those inspired Words. We might discover a new way to think about our relationship with Jesus.
And best of all, we might find new, fresh inspiration for sharing God's word with others.
My prayer this week is to be more intentional about my reading and studying of the Bible. It's already a habit, but my focus could be better. | {

VICTORIA — Union workers on the $1.4-billion Pattullo Bridge replacement project will get a guaranteed two per cent wage increase each year until 2024, under terms released Thursday that the B.C. government admits will boost the cost of the new bridge and other projects.
Transportation Minister Claire Trevena said the plans for a new four-lane bridge linking New Westminster and Surrey can accommodate the higher costs of the new "community benefits agreement" that mandates workers become unionized within 30 days of joining a job site.
The labour deal is estimated to boost total Pattullo costs by seven per cent, or almost $100 million. But Trevena said her ministry has been aware of the union-only plans since the NDP assumed power last year and has been planning for that within the bridge budget.
The "community benefit agreement" sets out wages and hiring procedures, calls for 25 per cent of workers to be apprentices, and gives hiring priority to women and Aboriginal tradespeople. A two per cent raise is similar to what the B.C. government has offered in tentative agreements with public sector unions. However, over the six-year span of the Pattullo construction, it would amount to 12.6 per cent compounded.
The agreement also applies to a project to widen the highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border into a modern four-lane design, though it was unclear Thursday how many contracts would be affected or the cost.
Opposition Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said the NDP is not spending tax dollars fairly or reasonably by giving special deals to the party's union friends.
The benefit agreement sets what government has described as "fair wages" for all workers in certain trades. In exchange, the unions agree not to strike or slow down work.
The wage provisions mean, for example, a journeyman industrial mechanic would earn $43.65 per hour this year in wages, plus $8.56 in benefits. That would rise to $49.16 by 2024, plus $9.64 in benefits. A journeyman electrician would start at $39.31 an hour this year, plus $8.07 in benefits, and rise to $44.27 by 2024 with $9.08 in benefits.
Government officials said those are near market rates. Both the union and non-union construction sector has high construction demand, meaning there's little discrepancy on pay, though benefits and pensions are richer in the unions. In the 1990s version of the NDP program, the unions took slightly less on wages to get more on health, safety and pension benefits.
The benefit agreement "protects taxpayers by ensuring bids are competitive and projects provide good value for the money," said the executive director of the B.C. Building and Construction Trades Council, Tom Sigurdson. The organization is affiliated with the 19 unions that signed the deal under an umbrella construction alliance. The terms of the deal mean mandatory union memberships expire for non-union companies when the work is done, said Sigurdson.
Government officials were unable to say how that money would be spent or how it would be audited.
The funds hark back to a similar arrangement in the 1990s under the then NDP government's nearly identical mandatory union construction program. Opposition leader Gordon Campbell was sued by the Ironworkers union after he alleged some of the 25 cents an hour government was paying to various union funds could find its way back to the NDP for election purposes.
Campbell won the lawsuit, and the judge noted five of the 25 cents was diverted in a manner that was uncontrolled and could have meant it ended up back with the NDP through individual donations from union members or the B.C. Building Trades. However, in 2017, Horgan banned corporate and union donations in politics.
Under the community benefit agreements, companies that bid and win project contracts will become "contractors" with their workers employed by a new Crown corporation called B.C. Infrastructure Benefits Inc. The corporation will handle payroll and human resources, while the unions will collect mandatory dues and administer the health benefits packages and pension plans.
The Crown corporation will become a hiring hall for all employees under the deal.
But it will be the unions that dispatch qualified workers to the construction site. Priority will be given to Indigenous workers (Aboriginal, Métis and Inuit), as well as female tradespeople, and local workers who have lived within 100 kilometres of the work site for the past six months or own property nearby, according to the agreement. Once that talent pool is exhausted, hiring goes to qualified local workers, B.C. residents, residents of western provinces as far as Saskatchewan, national workers and finally temporary foreign workers "after exhausting all reasonable sources of qualified labour," says the agreement.
A promise for 25 per cent of positions being set aside for apprentices will be averaged out over any projects that fall under the deal.
The union-only construction plans are similar to a 1990s program the NDP government used to build the Vancouver Island Highway expansion.
Business groups and independent contractors have argued the agreements will lead to higher costs and less competition. Nine organizations signed a letter to Premier Horgan on Thursday asking for him to reconsider the plan and arguing the priority should be on getting the best value of every tax dollar spent.
"This may be an old-fashioned idea, but we strongly believe that one of government's primary obligations is to ensure fairness in procurement and that taxpayers are getting the best value for every dollar spent," read the letter.
The signatories included the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, Canadian Federation of Independent Business, B.C. Chamber of Commerce, Surrey Board of Trade, two unions not affiliated with the B.C. Building Trades and Independent Contractors and Businesses Association.
The groups speculated the union-only model could add as much as $259 million in costs to the Pattullo Bridge. However, those estimates are based upon a Vancouver Board of Trade study into 1990s costs.
The new community benefits agreement released Thursday was 336 pages and went into exacting detail, including menu requirements for meals for job site camps, which specified that "camp occupants are entitled to eat all the food they want," elbow room "shall not be less than 76.2 cm per person," dinner plates must be kept warm and the dessert table must always have at least one pie and variety of Jell-O or pudding available daily. It also goes into some detail on the type of salads allowed, dressings, meat quality, starches, acceptable condiments and that the government cannot repeat the main course of chicken, beef or seafood more than once every five days. | {

Emotional Literacy
The purpose of developing our emotional literacy is to precisely identify and communicate our feelings.
When we do this we are helping nature fulfill its design for our feelings. We must know how we feel in order to be able to fill our emotional needs - we must communicate our feelings in order to get the emotional support and understanding we need from others, as well as to show our emotional support and understanding to them.
The first step is to start using simple, three word sentences such as these: "I feel sad.", "I feel offended.", "I feel appreciated.", "I feel hurt.", "I feel disrespected."
This may feel strange at first, but it gets easier with time. Just by naming a feeling, we begin to actually feel the feeling.
It seems that by naming the feeling we help our mind access the emotional part of the brain where feelings are stored. This step of identifying the feeling by name is essential to a development of one's innate emotional processing abilities.
Children taught to name their feelings in this way are more likely to be in touch with their emotions, and in control of them. | {

Canalside has become the happening place on Buffalo's waterfront, with year-round activities for people of all ages.
The Buffalo Maritime Center is a part of the excitement, offering rides on its three boats, the Scajaquada and the O.K. Clark, both Lake Erie shallops, and the Electra, a replica of 1903 water taxi. On Wednesday evenings throughout the summer months, we set sail from the Commercial Slip at Canalside right next to the Liberty Hound restaurant. Please call (716) 881.0111 or email [email protected] for more information. | {

We were called to advise and cost for works to the Lower Elliot pond area where a main sewer from the student accommodation was in danger of rupturing.
This area and its ponds were part of the main breading area for the endangered species of Great crested newt with the UK. The pond was monitored and surveyed by the DICE (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology); this is the leading authority on the subject and based at the University.
The pipe if ruptured would have decimated the entire population of Great crested newts.
There were numerous issues relating to the works including the fragile nature of the pipeline and also that line was encased in concrete. The works being within the breeding area was exasperated as we were very close to the main breeding time.
In conjunction with a leading Ecological survey team we put a plan of action together, which was certified and approved.
On completion not only did we alleviate the issues facing the University and the pond but also left the area with a new eco system designed and built using Gabon baskets, which benefitted not only the Pond and local environment but other departments on site. | {

CH Distillery is proud to say they are "made in Illinois, distilled in Chicago" with local grains that are processed to make small batch vodka, gin and other spirits. At the West Loop location, guests can sit down and enjoy a housemade drink at the cocktail bar and order small plates; group tours are provided as well. This recipe was developed by Food and Beverage Director Krissy Schutte.

I cannot believe the service that your company provided to us. We rang on 28/09/15, very late in the afternoon, & I was astounded to see that the item was delivered at 8.30am, on Tuesday 29/09/15. It is the best service I have ever encountered in 45 years of being in business. Take a bow, well done.
Easy to order and fast delivery. Returning customer. | {

Grindstone Acquires Screamfest Alum Matt Eskandari's "Game of Assassins" (The Gauntlet)
If you missed the premiere at last year's Screamfest, Lionsgate will soon be bringing "Game of Assassins" (formerly titled "The Gauntlet") your way.
via Variety - MAY 9, 2014 | 10:59AM PT
PARIS– Grindstone Entertainment has acquired all U.S. rights to Matt Eskandari's action/horror pic "Game of Assassins" (formerly titled "The Gauntlet").
The action/horror film stars Bai Ling ("Crank"), Warren Kole ("The Following") and Dustin Nguyen ("21 Jump St").
Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release the film, which premiered at Screamfest in October, on all media platforms.
Co-financed by Chinese film production partners and shot in Beijing, "Assassins" follows five strangers who awake in an underground, medieval dungeon.
It's produced by Wellington Sun, Daniel Wei, Jonathan Shih, Matt Eskandari and Adam Lawson.
"We were impressed by the production value of the film and its intricate and well told story," said Stan Wertlieb, Grindstone Entertainment's head of acquisitions. "The filmmakers did a great job balancing action, suspense, and horror with unique real life-characters, something we are always on the lookout for in genre fare."
Ryan Black and Stan Wertlieb of Grindstone Entertainment brokered the deal with Patrick Ewald and Shaked Berenson of Epic Pictures negotiating on behalf of the producers.

Argos has just launched its first iPhone app, in response to 600% increased in traffic to Argos.co.uk from mobile devices. In December, Argos had 750,000 visits from iPhones and iPods, so the demand is clearly there.
The app, developed in-house, isn't a full mobile commerce offering, though that is something which may follow later. Instead, the app allows customers to browse and check stock levels at their local stores, before making a reservation for in-store collection.
The app initially asks you to set your home store to make subsequent reservations smoother. The app can also find the local store via GPS, or by entering the town name or postcode.
Results are shown via Google Maps, and details are provided on opening hours, as well as driving directions, and the option to set this as your store. You can then use the search icon to search for stock held at that store.
The stock checker works just like the machines in the Argos stores – simply enter the catalogue number for the product you want and the app provides information on current stock levels. If you don't have the catalogue number to hand, you can search by keyword instead.
A few more options to filter and sort search results would have been useful on the app, since Argos has a large range of products (25,000) to view on the app.
The reservation is confirmed in the next step, along with the number you need to quote when you go into the store.
This will be emailed to customers, but the option of storing the reservation number within the app may be useful, just in case customers cannot get a mobile or 3G connection.
The Argos iPhone app is well designed and works well. Though, given the traffic numbers from mobile devices, it is likely that many customers would purchase items direct from the app for home delivery, it makes sense to develop a Check and Reserve app as a first step.
For a retailer that has been so successful in terms of driving its multichannel sales, this app is the next logical step in that strategy, and has the added benefit of being a useful product and price research tool for offline shopping. | {

Universal to build 2 affordable hotels at previous Wet 'n Wild site
Universal revealed Monday that the company plans to build two budget-friendly hotels on the former Wet n' Wild water park property on International Drive.
Universal 's Cabana Bay Beach Resort and Aventure Hotel will be "value-driven" with room rates starting at less than $100 per night, according to a news release.
"Guests will enjoy the sun, surf and sand with a laid-back coastal feel," according to a news release.
"Towering exterior murals with vibrant and natural colors will set a free-spirited and beachy tone, inviting guests to hang loose throughout their stay."
The hotels will include three pools, two food courts, coffee bars and car rental facilities.
The hotels will be built on a 64-acre site at the intersection or Universal Boulevard and International Drive, becoming Universal Orlando's seventh and eighth area hotels.
Wet n' Wild shuttered its gates in December of last year after 40 years of operating on International Drive.
The two hotels, with a combined 2,800 rooms, will open the summer of 2019, Universal Orlando Resort said in a news release. The resorts will begin accepting reservations as early as next year.
Aventura Hotel and Cabana Bay Beach Resort are a partnership project with Loews Hotels & Co, the fifth with Comcast NBC Universal.

2022 Miss Africa pageant to hold in Turkey
Africa Entertainment Headline Lagos News Nigeria
October 9, 2022 October 9, 2022 480
The 2022 edition of Miss Africa beauty pageant, is set to hold in the heart of Esenyurt, Turkey.
The cultural heritage is an initiative geared towards promoting peaceful co-existence among Black origins and women empowerment.
Popular Turkey-based Nigerian Disc Jockey and the Founder of Black Beat Music, Onyeachom Stephen Okechukwu disclosed this during an interview with newsmen in Lagos.
According to him, the grand finale of the pageant will hold on October 11, 2022 in which one beauty queen will be crowned, representing the beauty, heritage and long-standing pastime of Africa.
He explained that the Queen will champion the campaign for peace and national integration, as well as women and children empowerment, in line with the mandate of the foundation.
"We need to spread the message of peace and unity among Africans, especially those in the diaspora, as we are the representative of Africa across the shores.This year's event promises to be fun and memorable because there was a year break, due to the COVID restrictions in the last couple of years".
"We are coming back and better this time, we promised to connect to the rest of Africa on this one. Social media shall be buzzing across Africa and people will watch our models display the pride of Africa from the beautiful city of Esenyurt in Turkey."
According to Okechukwu, "Miss Africa is open to beautiful young African women from all parts of the country, between the ages of 18 and 25. This year, we have worked very hard to eliminate the barriers to contesting, including the continued suspension of the registration fee and the elimination of regional auditions. Top Turkey based Nigerian artist Aero Y is set to storm the stage, and multi-talented Bris Mawanda."

Bloody Copper, Roaring Lead is officially down to clown, guys. Hardboiled fiction has been an enormous influence on me, and this is my love letter to both it and one of my other big loves, the western. It's the tropes and archetypes of the two biggest pulp genres of their day clashing against one another in a murder mystery: a cynical P.I., a powerful rancher, merciless thugs, the high desert, wry wit, and vicious cowboys all set during Prohibition. I made it especially for you guys for Christmas so don't be douche about it. Get this s-word on your Kindles or be b-words.
Just tried the link. It's not working. You might wanna get your elves on that.
A candy caning and starvation? You're going soft on those elves, R.D. | {

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has celebrated the contribution of water engineers by creating a special category in its prestigious annual Awards, which were presented in Westminster today (9 October) by BBC journalist Alice Bhandhukravi and ICE President Professor David Balmforth.
Named after the veteran water engineer himself, The Chris Binnie Award for Sustainable Water Management recognises actions and innovations within the water sector that have benefited society by improving the sustainability of water over the past two years.
Two projects were presented with the Award - an innovative flood project in South Wales, delivered by Arup and Morgan Sindall and Southern Water�s water metering project, saving millions of litres of water.
Arup and Morgan Sindall�s flood defence joint venture retrofitted existing urban landscape in the South Wales town of Llanelli to battle local flooding and pollution. Storm water now flows directly from the streets to the Loughor Estuary, taking pressure off the overloaded Victorian sewer network, and at the same time promoting biodiversity. The project has reduced peak flood flows by 70%, also protecting 115 properties from devastation since its completion in 2014.
Southern Water�s universal water-metering programme has delivered huge water savings of 30 million litres a day across the South East � enough water to meet the daily demand of Worthing and Hastings combined.
Over five years Southern Water has installed nearly half a million state of the art water meters across the region, which also include automatic leak detection facility, allowing a further saving of 7 million litres per day. The University of Southampton has calculated that Southern Water�s customers are on average using 60 litres per household per day less water. This represents a huge 16.5% reduction - far more than the predicted national average of 10% when meters are installed.
Meyrick Gough, Southern Water strategy manager commented: "It's an honour to be recognised at a national level - sustainable water management is vital for the future of our society and I am thrilled that our universal programme has made such an impact.
"I am proud that our work has created a vibrant and evidence based debate around metering and thrilled our customers have embraced the fact that reducing water use can have a positive impact on both the environment and on their bills."
Chris Binnie, ICE Fellow and ICE Water Expert Panel member, added: �Becoming more sustainable in our management of water is vital for the future of our society. I am delighted that ICE, of which I have been a fellow for almost 40 years, has recognised this. Both winning schemes are at the forefront of technology and the winners are to be congratulated on what they have achieved." | {

Pupil Accommodation Review
How We Meet the Diverse Needs Of Our Students
Our Lady of Guadalupe was selected in the first phase of the Early Learning Program. We have two full classes. One of these classes is comprised of Junior Kindergarten students while the other is comprised of Senior Kindergarten students. The purpose of the program is to establish a strong foundation in the early years that will give four- and five year-olds in Toronto Catholic schools a stronger start on their learning. It will help improve their reading, writing and math skills, provide a smoother transition to Grade 1 and help increase their success in school and beyond. Full-day learning will give our children the tools they need to succeed.
Faith and Character Development and The Modeling the Virtues Awards
The Modeling the Virtues Awards (MTV) is focused on helping students, teachers and parents build positive attitudes, life skills and character. Each month, a key virtue is introduced, defined and modelled at a school assembly. The MTV Awards (Modeling The Virtues) Program is designed to follow the TCDSB's Faith and Character Development Monthly Themes. Classes will have an opportunity to host the awards and introduce a new virtue in a format where students can display their talents through song, drama, stories and various media forms. After the virtue is introduced, students will have a clear understanding of what it means to model the virtue. Each month, nominated students are recognized for demonstrating the virtue in their interactions with peers. Winners of the award have their picture displayed and take home a certificate honouring their achievement.
On Thursday, December 6th , 2007, at the TCDSB event, Faith and Character Development: A TCDSB Celebration, held at the Metro Convention Centre, students, parents, clergy and staff gathered as one "…community of Faith, anchored in Hope with love in Charity." The following Faith and Development Themes were chosen by the 1200 participants at the event:
FAITH AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MONTHLY THEMES
September Hospitality
October Gratitude
November Peacemaking
December Charity
January Courage
February Love
March Forgiveness
April Justice

Eduard Friedrich Mörike (8. září 1804, Ludwigsburg – 4. června, 1875, Stuttgart) byl německý romantický básník, prozaik a překladatel, vrcholný představitel tzv. švábské romantiky. Jeho tíhnutí k harmonii je někdy označováno za literární biedermeier.
Život
Eduard Mörike pocházel z lékařské rodiny, do které se narodil jako sedmé dítě. Po maturitě na stuttgartském gymnáziu vystudoval v letech 1822 až 1826 teologii v Tübingenu. Působil pak jako evangelický farář na různých místech ve Württembersku a od roku 1834 devět let v Cleversulzbachu poblíž Weinsbergu. Roku 1843 se pro nemoc místa vzdal a žil v soukromí v Mergentheimu. Od roku 1851 působil jako profesor literatury na Kateřinském ústavu ve Stuttgartu a roku 1866 odešel do výslužby. Zemřel roku 1875 a je pohřben na hřbitově Pragfriedhof ve Stuttgartu.
Za svého života vešel Mörike ve známost díky své poetické novele Mozartova cesta do Prahy (1856, Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag), dnes je však ceněn jako jeden z nejvýznamnějších německých básníků 19. století. Díky své uzavřené povaze se vyhýbal společenským stykům, což zvýšilo jeho vnímavost pro přírodu a lidové cítění. Proto je jeho přírodní, reflexivní i milostná lyrika vyznačující se čistou citovou intonací a smyslovou svěžestí považována za dokonalou. Jeho básnické modlitby, zbavené programové ideovosti, dekorativnosti i rétoriky, jsou směsí radosti a stesku a zamýšlejí se nad podstatou bytí.
Mörike psal rovněž básně výpravné i dramatické. Rovněž dovedl vynikajícím způsobem zachytit postavy lidové fantazie ve svých pohádkách. Skvěle ovládal též klasické básnické formy a hexametr. Působil také jako překladatel. Uspořádal a přeložil výbor antických řeckých a římských básní pod názvem Klasická antologie (1840, Klassische Blumenlese), S Friedrichem Notterem vydal roku 1856 překlady bukolických básní Theokrita, Bióna ze Smyrny a Moscha (Theokrit, Bion und Moschos) a roku 1864 přeložil básnické dílo Anakreóntovo (Anakreon und die sogenannten Anakreontischen Lieder).
Dílo
Malíř Nolten (1832, Maler Nolten), vývojový román, napsaný pod vlivem Goethova Viléma Meistra, ve kterém je obsaženo mnoho autorových básní a také dramatická fantazie Poslední orplidský král (Der letzte König von Orplid), odehrávající se v básníkem vybájené zemi.
Ročenka švábských básníků a novelistů (1836, Jahrbuch schwäbischer Dichter und Novellisten) společně s Wilhelmem Zimmermannem, almanach z děl švábských romantiků, kde je kromě několika Mörikeových básní také jeho pohádka Poklad (Der Schatz).

The Nikon Z 24-70mm f4S Digital Lens is a little and light non-stabilized standard zoom lens with a consistent f4.0 focal proportion that is made for Nikon's brand new Z-mount full-frame digital cameras. Launched in August 2018 it joins the Z 35mm f1.8S as very first Z-series lenses available on the market; the Z 50mm f1.8S would be the 3rd at end of 2018. Nikon's Z-lenses could be the just designs now available with a native Z-mount but through Nikon's FTZ adapter, current F-mount contacts could easily be utilized on their brand new Z figures. Therefore the brand new Z 24-70mm f4S deals with competitors off their standard zooms using the F-mount, such as Nikon's very own AF-S 24-70mm f2.8E VR the standard of 24-70mm zoom for Nikon digital cameras.
Size (diameter x size): 78 x 88mm (3.1 x 3.5in.) plus 41mm for lens hood that is 102mm in diameter. The short length of 88mm is achieved just with its collapsed condition which shaves 20mm from the minimal running length of 108mm at 24mm focal size. Zooming off to 70mm adds another 30mm which brings the lens as much as a complete length of 179mm (7.0in.) at 70mm focal size with lens hood affixed. The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR remains bigger at 98 x 154mm + 49mm for lens hood providing a complete period of 203mm (8.0in.) separate of focal size. For an apples-to-apples contrast one should provide for the distinctions of flange distance involving the Z-mount (16mm) and also the F-mount (46.5mm). So these 30.5mm need to be included while using the 24-70mm f2.8E VR – either from it on an F-mount DSLR such as the D850 or by installing it through the FTZ adapter on a Z7. All-in-all this will make for an enormous distinction whenever holding the lens.
Weight: 497g (17.5 oz.) plus 28g for lens hood. The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR is 1066g (37.6 oz.) plus 60g for lens hood plus another 133g for FTZ adapter to utilize it on a Z7. Therefore the brand new Nikon Z 24-70mm f4S is definitely the lightest path to take 24-70mm on a Nikon but that's definitely as a result of the smaller focal proportion of f4.0. Complete weight installed on a camera is 1200g (42 oz.) for Nikon Z 24-70mm f4S on a Z7 vs. 2071g (73 oz.) for Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR on a D850.
Optics: 14 elements (including 2 unique dispersion and 3 aspherical elements) in 11 groups vs. 20/16 for Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR. Therefore the brand new Z lens features considerably less glass/air areas that is usually a good thing to cut back the possibilities for reflections. Both lenses use fluorine finish on front side to repel liquid, dirt, and soil and may alllow for simpler cleansing.
Closest focus length is 0.30m (11in.) with a magnification of 1:3.3 at 70mm focal size. In my own test I became capable of getting down seriously to 1:3.1 at 0.29m with handbook focus. The magnification of this brand new Nikon is fairly great however only have 14cm (5.5in.) of working length at least focus length. A magnification of just one:10 is attained at 0.80m providing an operating length of 0.61m with lens bonnet affixed. The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR achieves the same magnification in handbook focus with a somewhat longer doing work length and minimal focus length.
Image stabilization: The lens provides no optical stabilization. Although Nikon Z figures offer integrated sensor-shift stabilization over 5 axis – plus an optional digital stabilization choice in movie mode. The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR features optical picture stabilization integrated (pitch and yaw) which may be made use of with the body-based picture stabilization of a Nikon Z human anatomy. In this instance the human body provides just roll modification, maybe not the entire 5 axis.
Auto focus: indeed with integrated AF drive. Manual-focus override is through just switching the main focus band – in the event that you performedn't designate another procedure for this multi-function band. The main focus band features a variable gearing enabling for really exact handbook focus whenever switched gradually. Unfortunately this particular aspect is not switched to linear gearing making smooth focus pulling for videographers extremely difficult. Concentrate on the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR works likewise using the just variations becoming a linear gearing and therefore the main focus ring does just that: focusing.
Price: The lens features a listing cost of $999. However, if you purchase it in a kit with the Z7 digital camera it's just one more $750. That's an excellent bargain. The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR is true of an astonishing $2400, though once again it's an end brighter and contains optical stabilisation.
Aperture ring: the multi-function control band of an S-lens could be assigned to use the aperture, publicity payment or focus – separately for video and stills. It's different advantage as having a focus ring plus a separate aperture ring on lens however it provides you with even more versatility to manage one of the most essential shooting variables right from a fantastic ring on lens. The aperture is actuated electromagnetically that makes it the same as today's E-type Nikon lens and places away with the technical coupling that Nikon makes use of on all older lenses . The Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR in addition makes use of electro-magnetic actuation but does not have any aperture control ring. | {

Q: How to save and load selected and all variables in tensorflow 2.0 using tf.train.Checkpoint? How do I save selected variables in tensorflow 2.0 shown below in a file and load them into some defined variables in another code using tf.train.Checkpoint?
class manyVariables:
def __init__(self):
self.initList = [None]*100
for i in range(100):
self.initList[i] = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([5,5]))
self.makeSomeMoreVariables()
def makeSomeMoreVariables(self):
self.moreList = [None]*10
for i in range(10):
self.moreList[i] = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([3,3]))
def saveVariables(self):
# how to save self.initList's 3,55 and 60th elements and self.moreList's 4th element
Also, please show how to save all the variables and reload using tf.train.Checkpoint. Thanks in advance.
A: I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can create a tf.train.Checkpoint object specifically for the variables that you want to save and restore. See the following example:
import tensorflow as tf
class manyVariables:
def __init__(self):
self.initList = [None]*100
for i in range(100):
self.initList[i] = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([5,5]))
self.makeSomeMoreVariables()
self.ckpt = self.makeCheckpoint()
def makeSomeMoreVariables(self):
self.moreList = [None]*10
for i in range(10):
self.moreList[i] = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([3,3]))
def makeCheckpoint(self):
return tf.train.Checkpoint(
init3=self.initList[3], init55=self.initList[55],
init60=self.initList[60], more4=self.moreList[4])
def saveVariables(self):
self.ckpt.save('./ckpt')
def restoreVariables(self):
status = self.ckpt.restore(tf.train.latest_checkpoint('.'))
status.assert_consumed() # Optional check
# Create variables
v1 = manyVariables()
# Assigned fixed values
for i, v in enumerate(v1.initList):
v.assign(i * tf.ones_like(v))
for i, v in enumerate(v1.moreList):
v.assign(100 + i * tf.ones_like(v))
# Save them
v1.saveVariables()
# Create new variables
v2 = manyVariables()
# Check initial values
print(v2.initList[2].numpy())
# [[-1.9110833 0.05956204 -1.1753829 -0.3572553 -0.95049495]

# [-1.0606447 -0.16966362 -1.0448577 0.56799036 -0.90726566]]
# Restore them
v2.restoreVariables()
# Check values after restoring
print(v2.initList[2].numpy())
# [[-1.9110833 0.05956204 -1.1753829 -0.3572553 -0.95049495]

# [ 0.44205236 0.86158335 0.6919655 -2.5156968 0.16496429]
# [-1.241602 -0.15177743 0.5603795 -0.3560254 -0.18536267]]
print(v2.initList[3].numpy())
# [[3. 3. 3. 3. 3.]
# [3. 3. 3. 3. 3.]
# [3. 3. 3. 3. 3.]
# [3. 3. 3. 3. 3.]
# [3. 3. 3. 3. 3.]]
If you want to save all the variables in the lists, you could replace makeCheckpoint with something like this:
def makeCheckpoint(self):
return tf.train.Checkpoint(
**{f'init{i}': v for i, v in enumerate(self.initList)},
**{f'more{i}': v for i, v in enumerate(self.moreList)})
Note that you can have "nested" checkpoints so, more generally, you could have a function that makes a checkpoint for a list of variables, for example like this:
def listCheckpoint(varList):
# Use 'item{}'.format(i) if using Python <3.6
return tf.train.Checkpoint(**{f'item{i}': v for i, v in enumerate(varList)})
Then you could just have this:
def makeCheckpoint(self):
return tf.train.Checkpoint(init=listCheckpoint(self.initList),
more=listCheckpoint(self.moreList))
A: In the following code I save an array called variables to a .txt file with a name of your choosing. This file will be in the same folder as your python file. The 'wb' in the open function means write with truncation(so removing everything that was previously in the file) and uses byte format. I use pickle to handle saving/parsing the list.
import pickle
def saveVariables(self, variables): #where 'variables' is a list of variables
with open("nameOfYourFile.txt", 'wb+') as file:
pickle.dump(variables, file)
def retrieveVariables(self, filename):
variables = []
with open(str(filename), 'rb') as file:
variables = pickle.load(file)
return variables
To save specific stuff to your file just add it as the variables argument in saveVariables like so:
myVariables = [initList[2], initList[54], initList[59], moreList[3]]
saveVariables(myVariables)
To retrieve variables from text file with a certain name:
myVariables = retrieveVariables("theNameOfYourFile.txt")
thirdEl = myVariables[0]
fiftyFifthEl = myVariables[1]
SixtiethEl = myVariables[2]
fourthEl = myVariables[3]
You could add these functions anywhere in the class.
To be able to access the initList/moreList in your example however, you should either return them from their functions(like I do with the variables list) or make them global.

WiHM Interview with R. J. Joseph
February 18, 2019 February 18, 2019 / saratantlinger
This year we are celebrating a decade of showcasing women in horror! In honor of something so close to my heart, I am featuring ten amazing ladies in horror on my blog all month long to celebrate their incredible creativity and work in the field.
My next guest is R.J. Joseph! I am thrilled to share her wonderful perspectives in the answers below, and encourage everyone to check out her work. Happy reading!
R. J. Joseph is a Texas based writer and professor who must exorcise the demons of her imagination so they don't haunt her being. A life-long horror fan and writer of many things, she has finally discovered the joys of writing creatively and academically about two important aspects of her life: horror and black femininity.
R. J. is absolutely thrilled to have a story in the 2018 Bram Stoker Award nominated anthology Sycorax's Daughters and a featured poem in the Horror Writer's Association Poetry Showcase, V. When R. J. isn't writing, teaching, or reading voraciously, she can usually be found wrangling one or six of various sprouts and sproutlings from her blended family of 11…which also includes one husband and two furry hellbeasts.
ST: Thank you so much for taking the time to share more about your work today. To start, tell our readers a little bit more about your background with horror? What creative outlets do you channel horror into (writing, art work, film, design, research, etc…)?
RJJ: Hi, Sara! Thank you so much for having me over to chat. It's always a pleasure to talk with someone who crafts wonderful interview prompts and questions.
I've been a fan of horror since I was a young child, and that has been quite a long time. I devoured everything horror related: books, movies, comic books—everything. But even though I've been a lifelong fan, I haven't always felt comfortable enough to create my own manifestations of horror. It was difficult to reconcile my desire to explore the horrific with my Southern Baptist upbringing and my femininity. I would write things and hide them because I wasn't sure what their, or my, reception would be. I'd send out the occasional story and get good feedback, but I'd always go back into what I thought was safer space.
Then, I finally found a horror writing tribe at Seton Hill, and those magnificent creatures accepted me as one of their own. I couldn't deny that part of my creativity any more. Since venturing out, I've found that my horror creator persona lends herself best to short stories, poetry, and academic writing. The academic part was a bit of an accident that has worked out pretty well because I love picking stuff apart. I've just started on my first screenplay and a novella that has been waiting around in my head for years finally might see the light of day this year.
ST: I love that combination of using the feminine along with a Southern Baptist upbringing to inspire stories. I bet that leads to unique ideas. Good luck with the screenplay and novella, I'll keep an eye out for them!
Women being drawn to horror has always made perfect sense to me as a way to confront our own daily horrors, to unleash the brewing darkness in our heads, and as a way to just have fun with our creativity. What draws you personally to the horror genre?
RJJ: Horror is really cathartic, and honestly, living as a black woman has shown me many horrors. I've always seen the monster hiding underneath the veneer of regular life, fooling everyone into thinking it isn't a monster. My fascination grew when I figured out the monsters fool us so many times because we want to be fooled. Sometimes I wanted to be the monster and lean into the freedom and exaltation provided in the shadows. I think it's easy to want to lean into monstrosity when the monsters have so much power. I like to examine why all the monsters aren't allowed to unleash that power. Also, I just have an innate darkness. I present as a bubbly, outgoing suburban mom type, but inside beats a murky heart powered by an even darker soul.
ST: Such a poetic answer! I really like the image you paint here, of that freedom the shadows may hold.
We both recently had the honor of having the top 3 featured poems, alongside the wonderful Donna Lynch, in the HWA Poetry Showcase Volume V. Your poem "So She Burns It All Down" is a fiery, heartfelt piece that I adored. Have you been writing more poetry? How does your process for poetry compare to writing prose?
RJJ: That was such an exciting honor! I read yours, Amalgamation, and rooted for the monster. She was perfection, exactly the type of monster I long to see more of in the horror genre. I wanted her to finally lean in and accept her power as a beautiful creature, even though I enjoyed the tension that existed within her.
I have been writing more poetry, but poetry is an almost lyrical process for me, one that's slower than writing prose. First, a character or setting comes to me and I study how the character moves and exists in space or how the setting uses the area around it. This movement provides me with the rhythm of the poem. The words then start to dance to those beats. The way I arrange the words and the way they sound, when it works well, ultimately become a manifestation of that character or place.
Writing prose is based more on my inquisitive nature. I'm full of questions. I can see something and my mind immediately goes to question what I'm seeing and the circumstances surrounding the situation. The stimulus can be as innocent as hearing a noise that intrigues me or walking through a garden looking at the plants. The whole story might come to me all at once, or in vignettes. I play around with it inside my head until I think I can type up a reasonable draft. Sometimes I sit with stories for years before they're ready to be birthed into the universe.
ST: Thank you for your kind words on my piece, too! I really enjoyed reading about your processes above.
Some of the other recent books you have had pieces published in include Sycorax's Daughters and Black Magic Women, two really beautiful collections. What were the inspirations for your work in these anthologies?
RJJ: I'm really proud of both of those books and honored to be included alongside the other contributors. Most of my works revolve around various aspects of trying to navigate the societal expectations often placed on black, female beings. In "To Give Her Whatsoever She May Ask", from Sycorax's Daughters, I was inspired by the idea that sometimes we're betrayed in ways we can't imagine, such as by our own bodies and our faith. Ingrid relies on her faith to give her what her body desires and is unable to produce, but when she realizes that may not work, she decides to ask for help somewhere else. I've found myself in that position many times, questioning why things didn't work the way I wanted them to and having a hard time accepting that maybe my desires weren't meant to be. That faith can be fragile.
"Left Hand Torment", in Black Magic Women, was my first effort at historical horror. I'm fascinated by historical horror stories and I just don't see them done a lot by modern horror writers. (This is a good place to tell you I can't wait to read The Devil's Dreamland. I'm sure it will give me the creepy, historical delight I enjoy so much.)
I wanted to write about a black woman who was doing something in the past other than navigating chattel slavery. Black women were doing other things throughout history, like taking advantage of social systems and practices to gain social and financial freedom. Placage, a form of common law marriage practiced in New Orleans during the 18thand 19thcenturies between black women and white men, often provided the women entering into these arrangements with binding agreements where they could own property and their children could inherit assets from their fathers. I wanted to tell the story of a young woman in such an agreement, where the desire for freedom and positioning in society led her to the horrors of being considered someone's property. Her arranged union was a different type of bondage from chattel slavery, but still bondage, nonetheless.
ST: Thank you for sharing some background inspiration for your stories!
What is a piece of advice you'd give to women just starting in the field, or what is something you wish someone would have told you before you started getting involved with horror projects?
RJJ: I wish someone would have told me that some gatekeepers would defend the gates for a really, really long time, and continue to provide fertile ground for sexism, racism, and other bigotry. There have been numerous people of color and people of varying gender expressions allowed to play in the horror arena, especially during the past few years, and I'm excited about that. But it seems superficial. I feel there are still practices in place that make it super hard for us to really break ground and build permanent residences here. I see resistance in places where I would think it wouldn't exist and I realize that although many of us have done this long enough to not let that resistance stop us from producing and staying in the game, a newer and less experienced writer might not have that same experience. They might be turned off or scared away from working in our industry because they just don't feel welcome or safe.
ST: Your excellent points go right into my next question.
One of the reasons I enjoy Women in Horror Month is because it gives us a chance to both reflect on how horror is evolving and reacting to societal and cultural changes, and it allows women to highlight the issues and obstacles we are still facing. What are your hopes for the future of women in horror, or just for keeping the momentum going all year long for more diversity within the genre?
RJJ: I hope that more varying experiences and expressions will continue to be embraced within the genre. Get Out was earth shattering because it introduced the idea that racism is a repulsive horror, so works that examine it fit squarely within the horror genre. The terror faced by the parents of the disabled children in Hereditary and A Quiet Place showed that fraught situations which anyone would find dreadful are utterly petrifying for families with disabled members. Stories told through varying gender lenses are necessary so we get a truly diverse array of what scares different people with different experiences.
There are still naysayers who say these voices don't belong in horror, that social justice efforts are being forced on audiences who only want the same fare they've been given repeatedly. These people would rather see the genre cannibalize itself by producing and celebrating the same stories based on the same ideas by the same writers over and over again, growing stagnant in its refusal to mature and represent more citizens of the world. I hope the authentic, varying voices soon start to drown those out. This innovation and freshness is necessary if we want the genre to continue on into perpetuity and gain new fans.
ST: I'm with you 100% on that, and it's one of the reasons why I am constantly drawn to horror. It provides an outlet to come face-to-face with the very real horrors and terror we create as a society every day. I try to believe that confronting those realities will generate important conversations.
I know there are thousands of incredible horror ladies out there, but who is one woman in horror who inspires you particularly? What is it about this person's work or personality that speaks to you?
RJJ: I remain in perpetual awe of Linda Addison. She's simply marvelous. Not only is she a brilliant writer who can create magic from mere words, but she's a delightful person. I let my membership in HWA drop for a couple of years because I really struggled with whether or not membership and the community provided the support I need as a black, female horror writer. But then I saw Linda in action. I listened to her words and watched what she did. She gives back to the horror community in ways that often go unacknowledged. She's always willing to give a word of encouragement without the practiced air of someone who just goes through motions. Her kindness is genuine. Also, she manages to provide editorial feedback that doesn't leave you feeling eviscerated but is honest and always makes the piece better than it was before.
Without knowing of my struggles and doubts, Linda showed that she is and always has been an integral component in building an organization and shaping an industry that will be good for all horror writers. She has single-handedly—and I'm pretty sure, unknowingly—been responsible for me continuing to renew and participate. Through her example, I've realized that I want to engage with the community and give back where I can.
ST: Linda is amazing! And like you said, her kindness is so genuine and encouraging.
What are you working on this year or what do you have coming out? Where can we find you to keep up-to-date with your work?
RJJ: Right now, I'm working on my first draft of an academic essay for the collection Not a Fit Place: Essays on The Haunting of Hill House, edited by Dr. Kevin Wetmore. I'm not sure if we have a publication date just yet, but I'm thrilled to write a chapter about this series. I'm in my element when I get to examine and analyze and put different ideas together.
I currently have a few short stories out with editors, so I'm hoping those find homes. Also, I'm working on a novella and screenplay, as well as pulling together short stories for a story collection to shop around. I hope to have good news on those before the end of the year.
My Amazon author page is where I usually keep releases updated.
Uncovering Stranger Things: Essays on Eighties Nostalgia, Cynicism and Innocence in the Series made it onto the preliminary ballot for the Stoker awards in the non-fiction category this year. I can't even brag about my own essay in the collection because the others are beyond remarkable.
I've enjoyed chatting with you and I look forward to reading more of your work, Sara.
ST: Wonderful! I can't wait to see what you create in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your insights today.

Things to Make and Break
Stories by May-Lan Tan
October 2, 2018 • 5.5 x 8.25 • 224 pages • 978-1-56689-527-9
Former lovers, past selves, hopes for the future—two people are never alone in a love story.
These eleven short fictions evoke the microcosmic worlds every human relationship contains. A woman is captivated by the stories her boyfriend tells about his exes. A faltering artist goes on a date with a married couple. Twin brothers work out their rivalry via the girl next door. In every one of these tales, we meet indelibly real and unforgettable people, a cast of rebels and dreamers trying to transform themselves, forge new destinies, or simply make the moment last.
May-Lan Tan studied fine art at Goldsmiths and works as a ghostwriter. Her stories have appeared in Zoetrope: All-Story, the Atlas Review, the Reader, and Areté. She lives in Berlin.
ELLE, "The 28 Best Books to Read in Fall 2018"
Library Journal, "Top Short Fiction For Fall"
"A brilliant and daring collection." —The New York Times
"With this provocative debut, Tan proves herself a sharp chronicler of contemporary romance." —Publishers Weekly
"There's plenty of darkness and a sprinkling of magic, and these strange, flinty, cigarette-stained narratives speed by, offering lots of surface tension and compelling deeper passions." —The Guardian
"Visceral and demanding; an unsettling collection that knocks you off balance." —Kirkus
"This book turns your senses so sharply it's hard not to feel thankful for it—how is it possible to have missed these moments before?" —Los Angeles Review of Books
"A story collection designed to unsettle in the most incisive, breathtaking way, May-Lan Tan's Things to Make and Break is a razor-sharp example of the strange behaviors of human beings." —Nylon
"Tan leaves readers feeling liberated from conventional storytelling." —Bust
"One of the most disarming works of fiction you're likely to encounter anytime soon." —The Star Tribune
"Entertaining reading from a writer worth watching." —Library Journal
"Exhilarating." —Literary Hub
"Studded with beautifully blunt, at times merciless, sentences, Things to Make and Break peels back the physical and social world with the point of a scalpel." —The Carolina Quarterly
"Tan is a cinematic writer in the same way some directors are literary—think David Lynch at his most Guignol." —Times Literary Supplement
"The thirteen stories found in these two books are a fantastic introduction to a writer in the process of teaching us new ways of reading." —Vol. 1 Brooklyn
"The desires sparking in Things to Make and Break spark again and again—as individual as heartbeats, as intertangled as cigarette smoke around fingers." —Arkansas International
"Tan's writing style enlivens even the most mundane of observations and makes the most bizarre of premises seem quotidian." —Electric Literature
"Things to Make and Break is omnisexual, and it's mind-blowingly good." —PANK
"Things to Make and Break is at once about everyone and no one in particular." —The Harvard Crimson
"These stories feel like they were written with a lit cigarette on the night wind. Tan has an imagination like a haunted carousel and each story here is like a ghost that wants only to talk to you. This is one of those debuts to remember, a name that bookmarks itself in your mind after the first story, or should—attention, as we say, must be paid. May-Lan Tan is here." —Alexander Chee | {

This phone became a hand-me down for the 11yr old boy. His sister broke the screen, a previously replaced screen with parts from eBay.
I also wanted to give the boy a chance to learn how to fix, this phone was the perfect victim.
Isaac was having such a great time, he was excited to be piecing the thing together. Unfortunately he learned that glass isn't flexible and cracked the new digitizer. How devastating.
But, this AWESOME company came to the rescue and did me well. I ordered a second screen, then explained the situation to them where they refunded the 2nd order! AWESOME!.
The phone has now been repaired, everything is perfect on it, and I have a phone for the 11yr old.
Being patient is important with all repairs. I found that I removed the back pink plastic screen cover very slowly first, then transfered the parts over. Previous repairs seem to charge the LCD if the plastic is ripped off fast. I burned through 3 screens from the Chinese eBay sellers, which what the factor for buying this screen from iFix it, with a warantee. | {

Messinian forced regressions in the Adana Basin: a near-coincidence of tectonic and eustatic forcing
AYHAN ILGAR
WOJCIECH NEMEC
AYNUR HAKYEMEZ
ERHAN KARAKUŞ
10.3906/yer-1208-3
This sedimentological and sequence-stratigraphic study focuses on the late Miocene deposits in one of the largest peri-Mediterranean basins of southern Turkey, the Adana Basin, which formed as a Tauride foreland depression accumulating molasse deposits. The Tortonian-Messinian shallow-marine Handere Formation, previously interpreted as a regressive succession, appears to have recorded several relative sea-level changes. The formation base recorded a forced regression attributed to the end-Serravalian (Tor-1) eustatic fall in sea level. The lower to middle part of the formation is transgressive, culminating in offshore mudstones. The upper part is regressive and its 3 isolated conglomeratic members represent sharp-based Gilbert-type deltas with incised fluvial valley-fill deposits, recording a forced regression followed by marine reflooding. The time of this regression is biostratigraphically constrained to ~7.8 to 6.4 Ma B.P. on the basis of planktonic foraminifera in delta bottomset deposits. The regression is attributed to the tectonic conversion of the Adana foreland shelf into a piggyback basin, as indicated by seismic sections and compressional basin-margin deformation. The reflooding of the basin ~6.4 Ma B.P. is ascribed to a postthrusting flexural subsidence of the foreland under increased crustal load. The marine transgression brought an almost immediate evaporitic sedimentation, which suggests invasion of hypersaline Mediterranean water. The basin was subsequently emerged and its gypsiferous deposits were extensively eroded due to a second Messinian forced regression, attributed to the early evaporative drawdown in the Mediterranean Sea (~6 Ma B.P.). The postorogenic isostatic uplift of the Taurides had meanwhile elevated the basin enough to prevent its reflooding by the Zanclean regional transgression. Stratigraphic comparison with coeval peri-Mediterranean basins to the west demonstrates that interbasinal correlations are difficult, and that a superficial linking of comparable events may be quite misleading. The local timing of the late Miocene relative sea-level changes and the landward extent of the Zanclean flooding were apparently determined by the combination of eustasy, tectonics, basin topography, and sediment supply, whereby the eustatic signal was modulated and often obscured by local conditions. However, the individual basin-fill successions bear a high-resolution record of local events and give unique insights into the local role of tectonics, sediment yield, and sea-level changes.

Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Michelle Chang and Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Ming Hammond are recipients of the 2011 NIH Director's New Innovator Award. This award provides support to new investigators who propose highly innovative projects that have the potential for unusually high impact.
Cancer patients may view their tumors as parasites taking over their bodies, but this is more than a metaphor for Peter Duesberg, a molecular and cell biology professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
Pain is the most common reason for trips to the doctor's office. So it makes sense that pain treatment is a huge part of our healthcare system, costing more than 100 billion dollars a year. But how exactly pain works is still a mystery in many ways.
Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology Diana Bautista has been interviewed by KQED about her research into pain.
Howard Hughes Investigator and Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology Randy W. Schekman has been named the first editor of a new journal that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society, and the Wellcome Trust aim to launch next year.
Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Susan Marqusee has won the 2011 American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) "Rose Award".
The William C. Rose Award recognizes outstanding contributions to biochemical and molecular biological research and a demonstrated commitment to the training of younger scientists, as epitomized by the late Dr. Rose. Nominations must be originated by Society members, but the nominees need not be ASBMB members.
William V. Power Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Jeremy Thorner has been awarded a Senior Investigator Award from the American Asthma Foundation in collaboration with Assistant Professor of Immunology and Pathogenesis Greg Barton.
G. Steven Martin, department chair and professor of cell and developmental biology in MCB, has been appointed interim dean of biological sciences in the College of Letters and Science, effective July 1. He takes over for Mark Schlissel, who was recently named provost of Brown University.
It is with regret that we announce that on April 20th, Marietta Dunaway, an Adjunct and Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology in the Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 1985 - 2001, died peacefully at her home, surrounded by her family.
When one hears the phrase 'egg-shaped', an oval immediately comes to mind. Chicken eggs are oval, and so are the eggs laid by many land-dwelling animals. But how do oval eggs get that way? Starting from this deceptively simple question, MCB Associate Professor David Bilder and graduate student Saori Haigo report in the journal Science the discovery of a new type of tissue movement that shapes animal organs.
Robert Tjian, MCB Professor and HHMI President, received the 2010 Glenn T. Seaborg Medal from the University of California, Los Angeles for oustanding accomplishments in chemistry or biochemistry. Dr. Tjian was also awarded the 2010 Grand Prix Charles‰ÛLÌ©opold Mayer from the French Academy of Sciences for his research on how genes are turned on and off.
MCB Professors Karsten Weis and James Berger with their team of researchers have solved the structure of a protein machine critical to the process of mRNA export from the nucleus. The study, published March 27th in the journal Nature, illustrates how energy can be exploited to extrude mRNA molecules from a transport channel, which perforates the nuclear envelope.
The Cell & Developmental Biology Division is hosting a one-day Symposium on The Biology of Regeneration on March 22, 2011. Information about the speakers and free registration are available by following the link below.
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology David Savage has been awarded the 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.
The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. These two-year fellowships are awarded yearly to 118 researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. | {

Vietnam Country Roads is one of PrivateTourVietnam's cycling tours through Vietnam from the north to the south with leisurely pace. The tour is designed for our travelers to approach Vietnam from an innovative angle. Much of the cycling is done in the countryside of the flat terrain. The tour doesn't involve mountain-biking. The cycling part is done in the countryside back roads where there's not much traffic.

Playwrights Horizons Now Accepting "Liveforfive" Lottery Entries for Placebo
For $5 Tickets To The First Preview Of The World Premiere Of Placebo, A New Play By Obie Award Winner Melissa James Gibson, Directed By Three-Time Obie Award Winner Daniel Aukin
At Its Official Website www.PHnyc.org
"LIVEforFIVE" Ticketing Initiative Makes Available $5 Tickets for the First Performance of Every Production at Playwrights Horizons via an Online Ticket Lottery
Previews begin Friday, February 20
Playwrights Horizons (Tim Sanford, Artistic Director; Leslie Marcus, Managing Director) is now accepting entries for its popular LIVEforFIVE online lottery for up to two $5 tickets each to the world premiere of PLACEBO, a new play by Obie Award winner Melissa James Gibson (This at PH, What Rhymes with America, Suitcase, [sic], the FX series "The Americans," "House of Cards" on Netflix). Directed by three-time Obie Award winner Daniel Aukin (This at PH, The Fortress of Solitude, Bad Jews,4000 Miles, [sic]), the play is the fourth production of the theater company's 2014/2015 Season.
The LIVEforFIVE lottery for PLACEBO will be for tickets to the first preview on Friday evening, February 20 at 8PM at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street). The production has an Opening Night set for Monday, March 16 and will play a limited engagement through Sunday, April 5.
A ticketing initiative created in 2007 as part of Playwrights Horizons' Arts Access program, LIVEforFIVE makes a limited number of $5 tickets available for the first preview performance of each Playwrights Horizons production through a lottery via the company's website (www.PHnyc.org).
Details for the LIVEforFIVE lottery are as follows: beginning today, Wednesday, February 11, theatergoers can enter the lottery by filling out an entry form at www.PHnyc.org. Entries will be accepted until Tuesday, February 17 at 12 Noon. Winners of the lottery will be notified via email no later than 3PM on Tuesday, February 17 with instructions on how to book their $5 tickets. Unclaimed tickets will be offered via email to a limited standby list starting at 12 Noon on Wednesday, February 18 on a first-come, first-served basis. One or two tickets may be purchased for $5 each.
The cast of PLACEBO features Tony Award nominee and Theatre World Award winner Carrie Coon (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Gone Girl, Nora Durst in the HBO series "The Leftovers"), William Jackson Harper (A Cool Dip in the Barren Saharan Crick at PH; All the Way, Ruined, Modern Terrorism), Alex Hurt (Scenes from a Marriage, The Caucasian Chalk Circle,Unrequited) and Florencia Lozano (Red Dog Howls, Macbeth, Privilege).
A minty green pill – medication or sugar? Louise (Ms. Coon) is working on a placebo-controlled study of a new female arousal drug. As her work in the lab navigates the blurry lines between perception and deception, more and more these same questions pertain to her life at home. With uncanny insight and unparalleled wit, Melissa James Gibson's affectionate comedy examines slippery truths and the power of crossed fingers.
Ms. Gibson and Mr. Aukin are longtime collaborators who are both returning to Playwrights Horizons for the first time since their acclaimed production of This in 2009.
The production features scenic and costume designs by Tony Award nominee David Zinn, lighting design by Matt Frey and sound design by Ryan Rumery. Production Stage Manager is Kyle Gates.

For my money, the theatre is up there in the ten top reasons to be human. I leave my home and go sit in a dark room with complete strangers and watch actors do their stuff because I want to be inspired. I'm asking to be involved. I'm volunteering to be led down any old path they choose as long as they don't let go of my hand. And if I see a show, and it is NOT so very good – I will try to divert you, because I don't want you to come to the temple when the preaching isn't up to snuff. I will bar the door, I will swing from rafters, I will yell FIRE just to set your feet on a path that does not lead to disappointment. Do something different with your evening I will say. Save your money for dinner with a friend you haven't seen in months because you are too frigging busy. Go take a walk with your dog or your child or your significant other. Go to bed early, I will say. Don't come to the theatre when it is less than it can be. I'm an usher snob, and that's all there is to it.

I will definitely be making these cuties since raw cacao is my favorite thing!
Hey Molly! It's the best isn't it?!
Thank you Amy! Ah yes, I know the feeling, I feel I'm forever making a mess, tidying then making more mess!
It's from Waitrose Emily 🙂 I love the grains in it!
These look really delicious. Think I will make them as a special valentines treat to myself! Have pinned and yummed!
What a lovely shine these raw chocolate have, and pretty eay to make which saves the hassle and mess of tempering!
I love making raw chocolate, it's so quick and easy (and healthy!) I love these heart-shaped ones.
I've not made it until with these – I'm converted now Cathy!
These are so cute!! They look incredible, amazing shine on them! Can't wait to give them a go!
Thank you Isabella! Sending you some virtual hearts!
I made some raw chocolate hearts a couple of years back, they are a bit of an acquired taste though, still I liked them – these are so cute. | {

A reply to the essay on population in a series of letters, to which are added, extracts from the essay, with notes by the Rev. T.R. Malthus.
A clear, fair, and candid investigation of the population, commerce, and agriculture of this kingdom with a full refutation of all Mr. Malthus's principles, proving, from infallible documents, that our population is rapidly decreasing, from the high price of grain, and the long and unfortunate war, and if not remedied, England may fall : also shewing the great impolicy of the late corn bill, and that the high price of grain has been the cause of the late blights.
Marx and Engels on the population bomb; selections from the writings of Marx and Engels dealing with the theories of Thomas Robert Malthus. | {

Some Varieties of Cold Water Trout
[Eastern Hatch Charts] [Central Hatch Charts] [Western Hatch Charts]
[Streamers] [Nymphs] [Drys] [Terrestrials]
[Trout Fishing] [Trout] [Steelhead Trout]
North American Trout
North America holds many and diverse types of Trout. Here are just a few:
Visit Trout Unlimited for a premiere Trout resource
Brook trout prefer cool, clear waters of high purity in lakes, rivers, and streams. They are sensitive to poor oxygenation, pollution, and changes in acidity caused by environmental effects. They prefer temperatures in the low 50's and prefer to spawn in the low 40's F. Brook trout were once widely distributed but because of land-use, over-fishing, and competition with rainbow and brown trout, their range is now greatly reduced.
Visit Easter Brook Trout Joint Venture for conservation and facts.
There are also good writeups at Wikipedia, Montana DNR .
Brown Trout (Salmo trutta)
The Brown Trout is native to Europe. They were introduced to North America in the 1800's and later and have established themselves in many cool/cold water areas. Brown trout are hardy and competes well with other fishes and endures marginal water qualities better than most trouts. Brown trout are extremely wary and can be one of the most difficult of trout to catch. Brown trout prefer fish and other large prey more than most other trout types. They may prefer larger, slower flowing streams with an abundance of minnows. Browns are a strong fish but may not fight like rainbow.
There are also good writeups at Wikipedia.
Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarki)
The cutthroat trout is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae) of order Salmoniformes. Cutthroat trout are native to western North America. Some populations will live in the Pacific Ocean as adults and return to fresh water to spawn in the spring. These sea-run cutthroat trout are very sought after in fly fishing. Cutthroat are similar to rainbow trout and will readily interbreed. There are about 14 separate subspecies of cutthroat trout.
There are more in depth write ups at Wikipedia and Answers.com.
Also, fly fish Puget Sound for some good tips .
Rainbow were originally native to western US. Rainbow trout were introduced to the eastern waters in the 1800's and early 1900's. Rainbow are often the fish stocked in many Eastern trout waters and some argue the backbone of our trout fishing industry. The typical rainbow is 10 or less inches but 12 plus inch fish are commonly taken. Rainbow trout do best in cool, clear, cool, oxygen rich cascading type streams; however, they can survive in waters too warm or too silt-laden for some other types of trout. Rainbow trout are known as spectacular fighters and this is why they are so often especially sought by fly rod fishermen.

Now go out and enjoy NA's fabulous trout fishery. Thank a state biologist for this rich and well managed fishery.

The EDGE Crisis Negotiation Team was organized back in October of 2015. It currently consists of 10 police officers, which are drawn from various ranks within the EDGE Communities of Beachwood, Euclid, Shaker Heights, South Euclid, University Heights and Cleveland Heights. Members are chosen for their demeanor, communication skills and their ability to remain calm in stressful situations. Team members undergo extensive training centered around problem resolution, and psychological tactics aimed at convincing the subjects involved to resolve the situation peacefully.
The mission of the team is to attempt to bring a peaceful resolution to various crisis situations, such as hostage taking, barricaded subjects, suicidal subjects, or other related tactical scenarios. During these crisis situations, the team is deployed alongside the EDGE SWAT Team. Team priorities are focused on the preservation of life, apprehension of the subject, and the protection of property. The following are just a few examples of the team's recent deployments.
In July of 2017, members of the the Crisis Negotiation Team were summoned to Shaker Heights to assist an adult male who was contemplating suicide. Prior to officers' arrival, this male had been posting hopeless messages on his social media accounts, along with photos of himself seated on the edge of a tall building with his legs dangling off. The temperature on the roof was over 95 degrees, and the noise from the rooftop air conditioners initially made it very difficult to speak with the male. After approximately two hours, negotiators finally established a dialogue with the male and learned that he was distraught because his dreams of making it big in Hollywood were not coming to fruition. A while later, negotiators were able to convince the male to come down from the rooftop peacefully.
In August of 2017, members of the the Crisis Negotiation Team were assigned to a call of a man armed with a handgun, who indicated to his wife that he was on his way to kill her, her boyfriend, and the four children they have in common. He was then going to commit suicide afterwards. Negotiators were able to establish a Facetime call to the subject from his wife's cell phone and get him to pull over and talk. During the conversation, officers were able to determine his location from the background scenery on the phone call, and subsequently located him in a parking lot in Shaker Heights. The area was then surrounded by tactical officers from the EDGE SWAT Team, while negotiators continued to speak with him. After a short while, the male surrendered to the negotiators without further incident. | {

Koko's Mad Hatter Hat
Make a Mad Hatter style hat in a tea party game rotation.

A Note to Service Units and Troops
I deeply appreciate the interest in this article and am happy to see troops and Service Units celebrate Juliette Low's birthday. I would appreciate it very much if you would link back to this original article rather than cutting and pasting the content to your websites.This article first appeared on Hubpages on July 3, 2008 and is copyrighted material. You can of course print out the activities to use for your own wide games. Thank you for understanding!
What is a Girl Scout Wide Game?
A Girl Scout "wide game" is a term that generally refers to a rotation of outdoor activities that follow a common theme. Wide games are appropriate for encampments, for a Juliette Low celebration, or a multi-troop activity during a weekend camping trip. At the completion of each rotation, the group of girls are given a "secret" partial phrase or puzzle piece to collect. When the girls have gone through all the rotations and have all the secret pieces, they are able to solve the puzzle or figure out the secret phrase.
To create a wide game, start with a theme. The theme should be fairly specific, designed to be informative and fun, and lend itself to four or five rotations. One rotation should be a service project related to the theme. It isn't necessary for the activities to focus on earning a badge, although the badge books are a great resource to build ideas. Also determine what the "secret phrase" or puzzle will be and how you will divide up the pieces per rotation.
Remember that the idea of a wide game is to have the girls be active participants, chose activities (games) that keep the girls moving.
Games should focus on teamwork, learning new skills, and of course fun.
Older girls should be used to run the rotations, if at all possible. The facilitators should know the rules of the game and enforce safety issues.
Demonstrate the game before playing
Remind the girls to use "positive Girl Scout words" while playing.
Juliette Low's Birthday Wide Game
Here is a wide game example, to celebrate Juliette Low's birthday. The games were chosen as period activities that may have been done during Juliette's time.
The secret phrase for the birthday game is "I'm Juliette, but you can call me Daisy." It is divided into 5 parts, one for each rotation as follows:
1. "I'm Juh"
2."Lee ate buh"
3."Choo can caw"
4. "lah meed"
5. "Aisee"
All together, it sounds like "I'm Juh-lee ate, buhchoo can cawlah meedaisee" (I'm Juliette, but you can call me Daisy.)

Fun Girl Scout Games to Play
Rotation 1: Pancake toss relay: At the start of the rotation, explain that the pancake toss relay was a game played by girls back in Juliette's time. Girls ran with iron skillets, tossing a pancake into the air as she ran. This game was usually played as part of Pancake Day, a day still celebrated in some cities in England today. Pancake day falls 47 days before Easter. For this rotation, girls will use paper plates instead of iron skillets, for safety.
How to Play: Divide girls into two teams. This game is played in relay fashion. In the pancake toss, each team gets a sturdy paper or plastic plate. On the plate is an oversized pancake. One girl from each team begins by holding their team's pancake on the plate. On start, the two girls race down the playing area, tossing her pancake in the air and catching it on her plate. At the end of the playing area, she turns and runs back to her team, still tossing and catching her pancake.
At the end of the rotation, give the team their piece of the secret phrase.
Tips for this game:
Younger girls may simply run without tossing her pancake in the air. You might want to have, as a rule, each girl toss and catch her pancake at least three times each way. Explain this rule ahead of time.
It helps to use really stale, tough pancakes. Not the kind made from pancake mix.You could also use store-bought crumpets or English muffins.
Have many extra pancakes. They tend to fall apart.
Tell the girls not to eat the pancakes.
At the end of the game, the girls should help clean up any broken bits of pancake that may have ended up on the ground. This enforces the "Girl Scouts leave a place cleaner than they found it" rule.
Rotation 2: Kim's Game, variation: At the start of the rotation, explain that Kim's Game was one of Juliette's favorite games. It continues to be a popular Girl Scout game today. Explain that this version of Kim's Game was invented so that many girls could play, and so that it could be played outdoors.
How to Play: This is played like a scavenger hunt, but on a large open area. Show the girls a tray containing many objects, some found in nature, some not found in nature. Cover the tray. Tell the girls that the same objects are scattered (hidden) on the field and they have 15 minutes to find them all. (You can adjust the time to suit your needs.) At the end of the game, talk about how items found in nature are sometimes hard to see in their natural surroundings. Are items not found in nature easier to spot? Why or why not?
Have enough objects on the field to keep the girls busy for the time period, at least 5 objects per girl.
To save on cost, or if you have many girls per rotation, you can use short pieces of color pipe-cleaner, or short pieces of yarn instead of different objects. It is extremely difficult to find enough different objects for many girls.
To ensure that each girl finds at least one thing, you can use different color pieces of yarn (or pipe-cleaner,) and assign one or two girls per color. So the rule is that girls can only pick up their color yarn.
You can also divide the group into two teams, so that the girls work cooperatively, and so that they don't get upset if one girl finds only one thing, and another girl finds five things.
Hoop Rolling: How to Roll a Hoop
Rotation 3: Hoop roll: At the start of the rotation, explain that hoop rolling was a game played mostly by girls and young women in England and the United States as part of May Day celebrations during the 18th and 19th centuries. Hoop rolling was also called "hoop and stick" because the hoop was pushed along by a wooden stick. Girls back in the "olden" times liked this game because it was an active game, yet could still be played while wearing a dress. Meaning, girls could not be left out of the fun.
How to Play: Divide girls into two teams. This game is played in relay fashion. Each team gets a hula hoop. One girl from each team rolls her hula-hoop down the playing field. At the ending point, she must turn around and roll the hula-hoop back to her team.
Stress that the girls must control their hula hoop!
Play on a flat surface, even a slight slope is frustrating for young girls.
Rotation 4: Tea Party: At the start or end of the rotation, explain that when Juliette Low first formed her troops, she had a tea party at the end of each meeting for the girls in her troops. She wanted the girls to learn manners, to be good citizens, and have the social skills to be good leaders in the business world.
How to Play: This is a craft and snack activity. Girls make "Mad Hatter" style hats from brown paper grocery bags. Crumple and roll the edges up and fashion a hat. Use markers, sticky felt, ribbon and bows to decorate. After making a hat, girls can get something to drink and a snack.
Help younger girls crumple and roll the hat shape out of the paper bags. For very young girls, you may want to pre-make all of the hat shapes and have the girls just decorate them.
To decorate, hot glue guns are useful, but if electricity is not available, think about using sticky-backed felt or foam, or simply markers and ribbon. Bottled glue is usually unsuccessful.
You will need at least two tables, one to make the hats, one to serve the snacks.
If you are doing this activity outside, don't use feathers for decorating. They immediately blow away!
Rotation 5: Service Project. At the start of the rotation, explain that Juliette Low believed in service to the community. She wanted all Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to set good examples and to be good citizens.
How To Play: Since Juliette Low's birthday falls on Halloween, and since candy is usually in abundance in the stores in October, our Service Unit made English-style "poppers" ("crackers") filled with candy. They were donated to our city's largest homeless outreach program that provides thousands of meals each day to homeless families. The "poppers" were constructed out of toilet paper tubes. One end of the tube is taped. The tube is filled with candy. The other end is taped. The entire tube is wrapped with wrapping paper, ends taped. The homeless outreach program in our city handed out the poppers with Thanksgiving meals. Check with your community's food shelter, homeless shelters (especially those for families,) teen shelters or children's shelters to see if they could use decorated candy boxes or poppers for their meals or programs. Other service ideas include:
Decorated greeting cards or "thanks" cards for use by your Council
No-sew fleece blankets for Project Linus or your local Humane Society
No-sew fleece caps for your local children's hospital
Final Words: Wide games are usually very popular, particularly among girls who like to be very active. Try to schedule plenty of time for traveling between stations, encourage troop leaders to use the travel time as a time to talk, to reflect, and to enjoy being outdoors as a troop.

The Lib Dem Focus team has selected a strong local candidate for the council by-election, to be held in Grove ward, on 5th July.
"I hope you will give me the opportunity to represent Grove Ward and to join the two other Lib Dem councillors, Chrissie Hitchcock and Barry O'Mahony, on the council. I promise to keep up the high standard of work that they have given over many years.
"I have worked in adult social care, and understand how important Council Services are to our residents. They rely on them and we need our Councillors to make informed and compassionate decisions.
The by-election follows the sad news that Marc Woodall is stepping down as a councillor.
"It was a great honour to have been elected by you in 2010 and I am proud of what we have achieved locally in the many years the Lib Dems have been campaigning in this area and over the past two years that I've been a councillor.
"Together with Chrissie Hitchcock and Barry O'Mahony, I have worked with the community and the University to improve relations between students and local residents. We have worked hard on environmental issues, such as installing new energy efficient, and more economic streetlights and making more allotments available for residents.
"I have also been working with residents, the local police and Kingston First to make the town centre a safe, enticing and varied place to visit. I want to ensure that all our good work is continued and ensure Grove ward and Kingston town centre continues to receive the best possible representation. So, I urge Grove residents to vote for Rebekah Moll to join Chrissie and Barry as three local Lib Dem Councillors. I am delighted to pass on the baton to Rebekah.
"Thank you very much for electing me to serve you; it has been a great experience and a privilege I will never forget." | {

Whale And Riveters Set For Playoff Rematch
Shaggy901516 Connecticut Whale, Metropolitan Riveters, NWHL, Women's Hockey March 6, 2019 March 6, 2019 3 Minutes
The first playoff game for the NWHL this year will take place on Thurday March 7th at 7p EST. It features the two teams that finished fourth and fifth in the season standings. Finishing fourth place, and the host of this playoff match up, is the Metropolitan Riveters. Unfortunately, finishing last in the standing is the Connecticut Whale. The game will take place at the RJW Barnabas Health Hockey House.
Last year these two teams met in the Isobel Cup semi final game which saw the Riveters win that game, and would go on to win the championship that year, beating the Buffalo Beauts in the finals.
A quick look back at that game, the goalie match up last year was Katie Fitzgerald for the Riveters, and Sydney Rossman for the Whale. The Riveters jumped out to a quick lead, after a minute into the game, the goal coming from Rebecca Russo. This got the crowd going and the Riveters dominated play. However at the end of the first period, the Riveters only had a 1-0 lead.
In the second period, it was more of the same, dominance from the Riveters and eventually a breakthrough for them, as Erika Lawler would net a goal a little over halfway through the second period.
Unfortunately in the third period, the wheels came off from the Whale. About halfway through, when the Whale were on the power play, Madison Packer got a breakaway and scored while short handed. This really deflated any possible notion of a Whale comeback, because shortly after, the Riveters would get two more goals in quick fashion. Goals coming from Bray Ketchum and Kelly Nash. Rossman would depart from the game after the Ketchum goal and Keira Goin would finish the game. It ended with the final score being 5-0 in favor of the home team.
Boxscore for this game can be found here:

Fast forward a year later and both teams are again meeting in the playoffs. Perfect time for some revenge? Possibly. We do know that the Riveters will be starting Katie Fitzgerald on Thursday, info provided from Mike Murphy.
NWHL News: Randy Velischek, head coach of @Riveters, confirms Katie Fitzgerald will be his starting goalie on Thursday. Fitzgerald stopped 40 of the 43 shots she faced today. Fitzgerald, who was the MVP of the 2019 Playoffs, has a .923 Sv% in her last four starts.
— Mike Murphy (@DigDeepBSB) March 3, 2019
How have the Whale fared against the Riveters this season? Decently. Their record against them is 2-1-1 and they are also 1-0-1 against them in Newark, NJ.
The last time that the Whale and the Riveters matched up was on January 6th, a 6-3 victory for the Riveters. However it was Maria Sorokina in net for the Riveters, and the previous loss to the Riveters was back on November 25th, a shootout loss with Kimberly Sass in net.
Why bring that up? Well, the last time the Whale faced off against the Riveters with Katie Fitzgerald in net was all the way back on December 2nd, which was a 4-0 victory for the Whale in Pittsburgh; and the first game that these two teams squared off against each other was all the way back on November 18th, a 2-1 victory for the Whale with, you guessed it, Katie Fitzgerald in net. So this year, the Whale are a perfect 2-0 against Katie Fitzgerald.
Will the Whale continue to be the kryptonite against Katie Fitzgerald? Or will Fitzgerald go on another spectacular run in the playoffs like she did last year, posting two shutouts?

Tweets by NWHL
3 Players to Watch
Audra Richards: The Minnesota native and Riveters rookie has had an incredible year for them, scoring 8 goals! 6 of her 8 goals have come against the Whale, including a hat trick! She is the only player in the NWHL to record a hat trick this season!
Katerina Mrázová: The Czech international, and Whale rookie has put up some stellar numbers this year, she leads the team in points with 12 (6g, 6a). 6 of her 12 points on the year have come against the Riveters (4g, 2a).
Shannon Doyle: The Whale blue liner has had a great year this season. She is one of the most consistent players for them. Against the Riveters, she has 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points. Both of her goals against the Riveters have been incredible, they include a game winner in the final minute and a sick deke against Katie Fitzgerald.

"Rethink the City; New Approaches to Global and Local Urban Challenges" is a free online course given by Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, starting on March 28, 2017.
The course aims to address urban challenges in emerging countries to provide a new perspective in understanding and analyzing the southern hemisphere. For this reason, the content is structured in the following three thematic axes: "Spatial Justice," "Housing Provision and Management," and "Urban Resilience".
Enrollment is now open through the Edx.org online education platform. The course has a duration of six weeks between 3 to 4 hours per week and is aimed especially at undergraduate students, especially those in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, according to the course content.
The coordinating team is composed of Luz Maria Vergara d'Alençon, architect of the Catholic University of Chile, and Igor Pessoa, urbanist of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; both are PhD candidates at Delft University of Technology.
The official language of the course will be English but the classes will be translated into Spanish and even Chinese to facilitate the understanding of students, according to Vergara d'Alençon. In the case of Spanish-speaking students, they will be able to solve specific doubts through interaction with academics who speak the language.
In addition, one student who completes the course will be awarded the "Rethink the City" award, gaining entry to participate in the Summer School "Planning and Design with Water," also offered by Delft University of Technology.
The summer school program will be held between the 17 – 28 of July this year at Delft. By participating in the Rethink the City; New Approaches to Global and Local Urban Challenges free online course, students will be given the opportunity to enter in the running to enroll in the summer program with flights to Holland and accommodation paid for (visa costs will not be covered). More information will be given during the introductory week of the course.

'Suicide vest' found after Uganda World Cup blasts
duration 13 July 2010
media captionAt least 74 people were killed in the twin explosions at a rugby club and a restaurant
An unexploded suicide vest has been found in Kampala after Sunday's deadly attack on people watching the World Cup final on TV, Ugandan officials say.
They also say that an unspecified number of people have been arrested.
At least 74 people were killed in the twin explosions at a rugby club and a restaurant.
The Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it was behind the attack because Uganda is supporting Somalia's government in Mogadishu.
Government spokesman Fred Opolot said the arrests were made after the vest was found in the Makindye area south-east of Kampala.
The vest was found in a black bag similar to those used for carrying lap-tops in a nightclub on Monday afternoon, police say.
It apparently contained ball-bearings, explosives and a detonator.
The nationalities of those arrested has not been released but officials have said a head found near the site of one of the blasts appeared to belong to a Somali national, who may have been a suicide bomber.
The Ugandan police are being helped by American investigators as they try to work out exactly how the explosions were planned and detonated.
BBC East Africa correspondent Will Ross says the Ugandan authorities are under great pressure to show that they can prevent any repeat of Sunday's devastating blasts.
The African Union, which has sent peacekeepers to Somalia, is holding a summit in Kampala later this month and officials say it will go ahead as planned.
In other developments:
Uganda has started seven days of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast across the country
Kenya, which is training Somali government forces, has stepped up security measures along its border with Somalia
The authorities in Burundi, the other country sending troops to the AU mission in Somalia, are on alert after al-Shabab repeated threats to attack it.
Foreigners killed
In a statement in Mogadishu on Monday, a spokesman for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group, Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, threatened more attacks in the region.
"Al-Shabab was behind the two bomb blasts in Uganda," Mr Rage said.
Mr Opolot said on Monday that most of those killed - at least 60 people - were Ugandan nationals.
He added that an Irish woman was among those who died at the restaurant, the Reuters news agency reports.
California-based aid group Invisible Children, which helps child soldiers, said one of its workers, Nate Henn, 25, a US national, was among those killed at the rugby club.
Officials said the dead and wounded also included Ethiopian, Eritrean, Indian and Congolese nationals.
Mr Opolot added that the other victims had not yet been identified.
Summit to go ahead
Ugandan Internal Affairs Minister Matia Kasaija told the BBC World Today programme that the severed head of a person from Somalia had been identified at the scene of one blast.
He said Uganda had been aware of the threat, but had been caught off-guard.
About 5,000 African Union troops from Uganda and Burundi are based in Mogadishu, propping up the fragile interim government.
The Amisom force is engaged in frequent firefights with the Islamist insurgents who control much of southern and central Somalia.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni condemned the attackers and said his country would not "run away" from its commitments in Mogadishu.
"People who are watching football are not people who should be targeted. If they [attackers] want a fight, they should go and look for soldiers."
But opposition MPs have called for Uganda to reconsider its deployment in Somalia after the blasts.

is the debut single by J-pop group Yoshimotozaka46. The single was released on 26 December 2018, three months after the group's roster was finalized. The song is written with a Kansai dialect and features Tsukasa Saito and Haruna Ogawa, both owarai comedians, in the center position.
Release
The single was released in two versions, a DVD edition and a regular edition. The DVD edition includes a separate DVD with the music videos of "Nakasete Kure yo" and "Kimi no Kuchibiru o Hanasanai". Each regular edition had a different member of Yoshimotozaka46 printed on the cover. A contest was held to determine which member's version would sell the most copies, which was won by Haruna Ogawa.
Track listing
All lyrics written by Yasushi Akimoto.

LVUSD restores campuses after Woolsey Fire
Kaitlin Rasborn- Executive Editor, Photo courtesy of Dan Stepenosky
On the evening of Nov. 8, 2018, a fire erupted in Woolsey Canyon near Simi Valley. This destructive wildfire, known as the Woolsey Fire, burned through 97,000 acres of land in Los Angeles, Malibu and the Ventura Counties, destroying 1,500 structures, killing three people and prompting the evacuation of 295,000 people from their homes.
According to CBS Los Angeles, although the cause of the fire is still unknown, its rapid spread and lack of containment can be attributed to the Santa Ana winds—the extremely strong and dry winds that begin inland and affect coastal Southern California. After eight tireless days of battling flames, the raging Woolsey Fire was completely contained.
When the fire initially ignited on Thursday, Nov. 8, many students and families in the Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD) were asked to evacuate to a safer location. In an attempt to accommodate these families, all LVUSD classes were cancelled on Friday, Nov. 9, via a mass email from LVUSD Superintendent Dan Stepenosky. Since the fire was still ablaze and encroaching on the many students' households, LVUSD cancelled school for the upcoming week—Nov. 12 through Nov. 16—leaving students with a two week break, including the days allocated for Thanksgiving break, before returning to school. According to LVUSD Superintendent Dan Stepenosky, safety measures were taken the week of Thanksgiving to ensure that all LVUSD campuses were structurally and environmentally sound.
"We brought in environmental specialists and hygienists, and we walked around all of our campuses the Monday after the fire was contained," said Stepenosky. "Together, we developed the cleaning and testing protocol."
This protocol entailed a multitude of techniques: surfaces were disinfected with wet wipes, carpets were cleaned with HEPA vacuums, walls were completely wiped down, 617 HVAC units were examined and all air filters were replaced entirely, according to Stepenosky. In regard to campus areas located outside, all playground equipment, athletic fields and the general exterior were hosed down.
LVUSD contacted ServPro to spearhead the restoration process according to Stepenosky. ServPro deployed roughly 200 workers to clean all LVUSD properties over the course of 12 days, including Thanksgiving. They also brought in 15 scissor lifts, so they could reach tough spots like gyms and larger spaces like multipurpose rooms.
"We were able to clean 1.2 million square feet in 12 days," said Stepenosky. "They initially thought it would take a full 8 weeks."
Even more, to guarantee that ServPro was doing their job to the fullest extent, LVUSD brought in a separate testing company to confirm that all classrooms and buildings were safe for students and faculty. As for the actual safety tests, LVUSD conducted three: one air test looking for particulate matter, one air test looking for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and one tape test to detect dust, ash and particles.
"A special tape was placed around surfaces in each classroom, and then it was taken to a lab for testing," said Stepenosky. "If there was 2% or more of particulate matter on the tape, the entire space was re-cleaned. Several other local districts used a 20% standard, making our standards 10 times higher."
Aside from the physical restorative measures taken to ensure all campuses were safe and ready to welcome students back after break, LVUSD schools have offered counseling services to aid those affected by the Woolsey Fire.
"Staff and students continue to heal in the aftermath of this devastating fire," said Calabasas High School Principal CJ Foss. "Many are still displaced and emotionally fragile; we continue to offer counseling and support for students in need [and intend to do so for as long as necessary]."
Although this natural disaster has been a discomforting and unfortunate experience for many people, it has allowed the many communities affected to come together as one for the benefit of others. The silver lining is small, but in scary times like these, focusing on positivity can help relieve some of the fear and suffering.
"We all understand what matters, and that's helping and taking care of each other," said Stepenosky. "People reached out to each other, asked how they could help and really stepped up."
All LVUSD schools are now up and running in the aftermath of the Woolsey Fire, but the intense cleaning processes preceding their reopenings were far from easy. However, the immense effort and dedication to restoring schools and contributing to those who lost their homes has been upstanding and encouraging.
"For the vast majority, students and families have shown tremendous empathy, understanding, and an outpouring of generosity for the victims," said Foss. "I'm continually heartened by the generosity of the Calabasas and Las Virgenes community who has risen from the ashes like a Phoenix of hope and healing." | {

43-year-old Secaucus police officer, Michael Cucciniello, has been charged with selling steroid gel known as Androgel testosterone on eBay.
According to investigators, officer Cucciniello was legally obtaining the prescription drug from a pharmacist, and then illegally selling the drug online. Investigators allege that his online drug sales began early last winter and lasted for nearly year.
Although Androgel testosterone is legal, its distribution is still heavily regulated by the FDA, under threat of steep penalties and fines.
Cucciniello faces up to five years in prison for his charges, but it is common for first offenders to get probation and avoid jail time under similar circumstances. Cucciniello is a first time offender, so while his maximum sentence is steep, he will likely avoid jail time.
"It's a dark day for the Secaucus Police Department, police officers are sworn to uphold laws, they also have to abide by those very same laws. Wrongdoing will not be tolerated. We owe that to the public who entrusts us, as well as the men and women of this department who come to work every single day and do their job the right way. The Secaucus Police Department continues to remain committed to our community," Secaucus Police Chief John Cerny said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Cucciniello has been suspended without pay, but is currently living off of his vacation time.
The medication was legally prescribed to Cucciniello by a physician, Rubino said, adding that no one else is being investigated in connection to the case. | {

There is a learning curve to using a sling, but once you know how to work it it's one of the easiest, quickest and cosiest ways to carry your baby!
The 'pelvic tuck' position is basically the key to safe, secure and comfy baby wearing.
If your baby is sat in a pelvic tuck position, they won't need much extra head support due to the c shape curve in their spine. However, you can make a little pillow to add some extra head support for your newborn when they are asleep in the sling, as they will have less muscle control then. It's really quick and easy to do. | {

Two methods of searching are possible: retrieval based on keywords (e.g. button, t-shirt, brochure) in the descriptions of objects, OR browsing by type of item (e.g. games, political causes, social buttons).
The Minnesota Historical Society began actively documenting the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) community in the early 1970s. Since then, the Collections Department has either added to or identified within its collection more than 200 artifacts that have GLBT association. This collection is destined to grow.
The artifacts in this collection reflect noteworthy events and people, but also the lives of ordinary people. Artifacts range from a guerilla theater costume used in a Twin Cities demonstration against a meeting of the Berean League in the 1980s to a business card from the local office of ACT UP. The collection includes dozens of buttons, promoting political campaigns and causes and celebrating or commemorating community events. A singular artifact in the collection is the symbolic "stone wall" erected at the State Capitol in 1989 during the "Stonewall to St. Paul: Celebrating the Struggle" rally.
The objects from the GLBT Collection represent a sample of the broad spectrum of items that will be available and are now accessible through the library catalog. Each description contains a link to an image of the object. | {

When fall starts to set in, it's a good time to start thinking about putting your garden to rest for the winter. One necessary chore is mulching, which helps put organic matter and nutrients back into the soil and protect perennials from harsh cold. Here are six mulches available to the organic grower, the pros and cons of each, and how to employ them.
Hay is dried grass usually sold in square bales. Good hay is one of the cheapest and best forms of fertilizer you can buy, but bad hay can be one of the most costly, killing plants and depositing unwanted weed seed. If you're considering using hay, it's good to know its origin and how it was grown. Many people mistakenly assume all hay is organic; however, some conventional farmers spray hay fields with chemical fertilizers or broadleaf herbicide, which can kill garden plants. Hay cut at the wrong time can also contain large quantities of weed and grass seed. If you can talk to the farmer, they'll be able to tell you when it was cut and if it was sprayed.
How to use: Shake hay onto clean soil in loose mounds past your ankles or higher. It will slowly compact over the season, but should remain thick enough to block out weeds. Reapply every four to six months.
Straw is the dry stalks of grains after the seeds have been harvested and can be easily spread onto gardens. Although not as nutritious as hay, it's less likely to add weeds to the garden or kill garden plants, as even conventionally grown straw is not typically sprayed directly.
Cons: high in carbon/low in nutrients; hard to find organically grown.
How to use: As with hay, shake straw onto clean soil in mounds past your ankles or higher. It will slowly compact but should remain thick enough to block out weeds. Reapply every four to six months.
In terms of perennial trees and flower beds, it's hard to overlook wood chips as an excellent mulching option. Wood chips take longer to breakdown, thus lasting longer than hay or straw, andmay temporarily draw nitrogen from your soil to help them decompose. It's a good idea to add a little organic fertilizer to your garden before mulching over it with wood chips. Wood chips are typically available at your local landscaping or garden supply store, but you might even contact your local phone service provider to see what they do with their wood chips from downed branches and trees. They might be willing to bring you a load for cheap.
Cons: Temporarily draws nitrogen from soil, not great for annual gardens.
How to Use: Spread a 1- to 2-inch layer around perennial plants, leaving a little space between plant and mulch to prevent rot issues. Reapply every six months.
Although compost can definitely make a fertile ground cover, it breaks down quickly and may feed weeds more than it discourages them. Consider adding a little around plants then placing another type of mulch on top of the compost to keep weeds from coming up.
How to use: As a mulch, spread thickly around plants, but consider covering with a shallow layer of hay, leaves or straw to keep weeds from thriving. Apply once per season.
Leaves can be inexpensive, nutrient-rich mulch for the garden, but it's a good idea to shred them first, which can easily be done by running over them with a mower. The bag on the mower should collect the leaves for you along with some grass clippings, which is good mulch, too. Shredded leaves break down slowly, so although they work fine in annual gardens, they work best for perennial flowerbeds and around trees.
How to Use: Spread shredded leaves in a 1- to 2-inch layer around beds. Leave a little space between plant stems and mulch to avoid rot. Apply once a season.
Grass clippings are very high in nitrogen and can make a great annual garden mulch––acting like hay but without the seeds. However, taking grass clippings from your lawn will remove some of the lawn's natural fertility and can potentially hurt its overall health.
Pros: high in nitrogen; excellent fertilizer and mulch.
How to Use: Spread a 2-inch layer around gardens. Apply throughout growing season. | {

Coral is a new concept of bikini, never seen before.
It is a new and radical underwear, a new way to be covered or "uncovered".
Coral is not just a bikini, is the idea of what we want to be or what we want to change for the next future.
The Idea was to link new technologies, as 3d printing, with handmade manufacturing, trying to give the best quality and a creative innovation in terms of concept and production process.
Coral bikini is the first 3d printed swimming collection, it came from geometric and organic inspirations.
It evokes marine microorganism with organic and intricate structures.
Made of Pla and Pla flex polylactide (is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn, by FDM technology (Fused Deposition Modeling), there are four different models.
The tops are made almost entirely of pla. The bottoms are in Lycra or made by crochet, handsewn with 3d printed embroideries that look them unique.
The minimum thickness offers a perfect wearability, adaptability and comfort, and the fabric inserts make the 3d printed organic shapes wearable as a normal underwear, feeling without any discomfort.
3d printing is the revolution of the production process. We will produce what we need, without any wasting. Recycling the pla of every single piece.
I mean, if you want a new bikini, we can recycle and reuse the old one, melting and extruding the pla and printing the new one.
Alternatively, you can compost it. That means that the bikini won't biodegrade on your body, or in the water.
The Pla is made from natural resources, that it could be produced in a sustainable way! It can be made from beer or coffee production waste. | {

Born in Spain, St. Anthony Claret (1807-1870) worked as a missionary preacher in Catalonia and the Canary Islands. As Archbishop of Santiago in Cuba, he fought slavery. Later on he was the confessor of the Queen of Spain. He spread the devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and the Immaculate Heart of Mary by his preaching and writings. He founded two religious institutes.
Driven by the fire of the Holy Spirit, the holy apostles travelled throughout the earth. Inflamed with the same fire, apostolic missionaries have reached, are now reaching and will continue to reach the ends of the earth, from one pole to the other, in order to proclaim the word of God. They are deservedly able to apply to themselves those words of the apostle Paul: The love of Christ drives us on.
The love of Christ arouses us, urges us to run, and to fly, lifted on the wings of holy zeal. The man who truly loves God also loves his neighbour. The truly zealous man is also one who loves, but he stands on a higher plane of love so that the more he is inflamed by love, the more urgently zeal drives him on. But if anyone lacks this zeal, then it is evident that love and charity have been extinguished in his heart. The zealous man desires and achieves all great things and he labours strenuously so that God may always be better known, loved and served in this world and in the life to come, for this holy love is without end.
Because he is concerned also for his neighbour, the man of zeal works to fulfil his desire that all men be content on this earth and happy and blessed in their heavenly homeland, that all may be saved, and that no one may perish for ever, or offend God, or remain even for a moment in sin. Such are the concerns we observe in the holy apostles and in all who are driven by the apostolic spirit.
For myself, I say this to you: The man who burns with the fire of divine love is a son of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and wherever he goes, he enkindles that flame; he desires and works with all his strength to inflame all men with the fire of God's love. Nothing deters him: he rejoices in poverty; he labours strenuously; he welcomes hardships; he laughs off false accusations; he rejoices in anguish. He thinks only of how he might follow Jesus Christ and imitate him by his prayers, his labours, his sufferings, and by caring always and only for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
℟. In our great longing for you we desire nothing better than to offer you our own lives, as well as God's gospel,* so greatly have we learned to love you.
℣. My little children, we shall always be concerned about you until we see Christ's image formed in you,* so greatly have we learned to love you.
O God, who for the evangelization of peoples strengthened the Bishop Saint Anthony Mary Claret with admirable charity and long-suffering, grant, through his intercession, that, seeking the things that are yours, we may earnestly devote ourselves to winning our brothers and sisters for Christ. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.Amen. | {

Torbay Road remains closed following chip shop blaze
Torbay Road remains closed following a fire which damaged homes and businesses in Thursday, 11th October.
The fire started Thursday afternoon, spreading rapidly. Over 100 firefighters attended the incident and worked throughout the night.
The situation will be reassessed by the council on Monday.
Torbay Council said in a statement today: "Following an assessment today we've decided to keep Paignton's Torbay Road closed and cordons in place this weekend to keep as many people safe as possible following the fire at Scoffs. The windy conditions continue, so there's the risk of flying debris from unstable structures and hazardous materials such as loose roof tiles from properties which caught on fire.
"The Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service has now stood down and handed responsibility to us and this afternoon we're talking to residents and businesses directly affected by the blaze to update them on the latest situation.
"We'll reassess the situation on Monday morning and make a decision on the road closure then. In the meantime diversions remain in place," | {

Courts Criminal
Expert Says Man Who Helped Terrorists is Nonviolent
December 17, 2018 December 18, 2018 NICHOLAS IOVINO
Al-Qaida, California, Islamic State Group, Terrorism
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – Though he reportedly blabbed about blowing up a courthouse and committing other heinous acts, a terrorism expert testified Monday in federal court that a 23-year-old Oakland man who pleaded guilty to helping Islamic extremists is neither violent nor dangerous.
"It was all talk and nothing else," said Marc Sageman, a terrorism and national security expert who testified at the sentencing hearing of Amer Alhaggagi.
Alhaggagi was arrested in 2016 after he shared disturbing ideas with a government informant and undercover FBI agent about blowing up gay night clubs, starting fires in the Berkeley Hills and doling out poison-laced cocaine.
In July, he pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists, based on him opening social media accounts for the Islamic State, and three identify theft charges.
Prosecutors on Monday asked U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer to impose a 33-year sentence and lifetime probation. The defense team is backing a probation officer's recommendation of four years in jail and three years probation.
Alhaggagi's family and lawyers say he was simply a naive young man who spun tall tales in online chat rooms to make himself look tough and to get a rise out of people. But prosecutors paint a different picture, one in which Alhaggagi obtained bomb-making manuals and met repeatedly with a man who claimed to be a violent al-Qaida terrorist.
U.S. prosecutor S. Waqar Hasib revealed in court that Alhaggagi allegedly told inmates after his arrest that he wanted to blow up the federal courthouse and unleash sniper teams on judges and police officers.
After spending hours interviewing Alhaggagi, Sageman concluded that even if the young man said those things, they were likely just words conjured up to project an image, much like the outlandish ideas for terror attacks that he shared with government agents.
"The more absurd ideas he had, the more they agreed with him and endorsed it," Sageman said. "That surprised him."
Sageman said Alhaggagi, who was born in the U.S. but spent many years in Yemen with his family, was out of school, not working and bored when he started going on Islamic State chat rooms, "trolling" girls, and bragging about plans to carry out terror attacks.
Sageman cited several online chat sessions in which Alhaggagi and others discussed bombs in sophomoric terms, referencing suicide bombers stuffing dynamite in their bums and comparing explosives to male genitalia with laughing emojis.
The expert witness also argued that the only reason Alhaggagi opened social media accounts for the Islamic State was to curry favor with jihadists online so he could use them to get revenge on users that got his account suspended on the messaging app Telegram.
"He's a coward," Sageman said. "The reason he trolls online is because he doesn't want to meet people face to face."
Sageman insisted that Alhaggagi only met with an agent posing as an al-Qaida terrorist in real life because he felt "forced into it" after his online chat friend, who was actually a government informant, told him the guy was driving four hours from Salt Lake City and needed to meet him.
Sageman said Alhaggagi "ran the other way" and avoided the undercover agent after the man showed him what looked like bomb-making materials.
But prosecutors said after that interaction, Alhaggagi looked into purchasing bomb igniting materials. They also said he brought up the idea of using car bombs to kill up to 10,000 people.
Sageman said those "ideas" were merely the result of an undercover agent "egging him on" and saying he needed to think "bigger" than backpack bombs.
The expert witness said this is the first case he's seen in which the government prosecuted a person who did not follow through on suggestions that he commit acts of violence.
"This is the first one where the guy did not take the bait and still got prosecuted," Sageman said.
The terrorism expert also insisted that because Alhaggagi has no criminal history, he is less likely to commit violence than a randomly selected person in the U.S. The prosecution challenged Sageman on that point.
"Is a randomly selected person likely to have discussed planting bombs in a gay night club," Hasib asked Sageman. "Is a randomly selected person likely to go on a drive pointing out places he wants to start fires in the Berkeley Hills?"
"Probably not," Sageman conceded.
Alhaggagi's family released a statement Monday saying that the 23-year-old "is not a terrorist or a violent person, although he said many terrible things on the Internet and to the undercover agent. Amer did not commit a violent act – he opened a small number of social media accounts for ISIS sympathizers. He knows now that this was wrong and is sorry to have spoken as he did and to have caused so much trouble."
The sentencing hearing will continue on Jan. 8 when two jailhouse informants are expected to testify on comments Alhaggagi allegedly made about blowing up a courthouse and harming police officers and judges.

After the meltdown, after the sensory binge, after putting the pieces together (read Part 1 and Part 2), my daughter and I checked out Livermore's labyrinth, hidden in a courtyard behind the Presbyterian Church. It was lovely, ringed in candles. A stone fountain burbled nearby. The space exuded calm, which was exactly what Katie and I needed. I felt hollowed out by the evening's events.
Katie was happily chasing two other girls and blowing out candles, so I figured I might as well give it a try. After all, it was my year to experiment with new things. So I entered the labyrinth and started walking.
It was hard to quiet the chatter in my head. As I wound around, I worried about getting lost. I obsessed about whether it was okay to step on the lines and how fast (or slow) to walk. I worried about Katie. Then I remembered that I was supposed to be releasing. So I concentrated on that. Many of the things that needed releasing were fear-based, and I obsessed about that. Would I ever be done with fear? I reminded myself to stick to my task, and eventually everything else fell away. It was just me, my thoughts, and my footsteps on the path.
I listened a bit longer, but all I heard was a repeat of the original message. I had a strong sense that everything was going to be okay, and my body hummed with conviction. I checked in with Katie and began the walk out.
Later, when I told Barb about my experience, she nodded and agreed that a school would be wonderful. She'd had a similar thought. Sharon looked surprised that I'd received so much guidance. She said that rarely happened the first time and I must be very receptive. I don't know about that, but I do know that after Katie's meltdown, I felt extremely vulnerable and open. Perhaps this is why I was so receptive? I'd rather not live through another meltdown to test this theory, but I'm grateful that Katie and I are learning, slowly but surely, how to live with autism in an often less-than-accomodating world.

Q: Cookies in Phonegap iOS App Just wondering if someone can help me out on an issue that we are experiencing with cookies and Phonegap on iOS.
I have a login service that I call in my app that is located at http://domain.name/fishing/login
It sets a cookie on my device called, "JSESSIONID" with a path of '/fishing/'.
All future requests to the server include that cookie and everything is groovy.
However, when I call the logout service (http://domain.name/fishing/logout) it clears out the JSESSIONID on the server but not on my device. So every future attempt to communicate with the server uses the old cookie value and is denied access.
Even when I try to log in again, the old cookie is still there and does not get replaced with a new one.
I've tried to manually clear the cookie through javascript but haven't had any luck. I can't even read it. Maybe because the webview is loading a file based document and is not on the same domain as the server?
Any suggestions/advice?
Thanks!
A: You might want to have a look at the plugin http://plugreg.com/plugin/bez4pieci/Phonegap-Cookies-Plugin

Huzzah! It's that time of year again! No matter how bad one's year is going, you can always rely on Christmas* to lift the spirits. (*Other festive celebrations are available).
Sure, it would be so easy to fall into the trap of being a naysayer, deriding the flaws of how the relentless onslaught of TV's multitudinous, twee commercials guilt-trip the working-class into spending more than they can afford. Pfft. Go home Scroogey McScroogeface. Nor will this writer blather on about how the festive period perpetuates the shallow fiction that materialism provides any kind of genuine, lasting happiness. That kind of negativity has NO place in this, the merriest of seasons, let me assure you.
It's a time to let our hair down to some feelgood party tunes and forget our woes. A cynic would (Mistletoe and) whine about how we have to endure the same music every year, our whole life. Every. Single. Year. Plus the latest Big Celebrity X-Factor Idol™ winner pimping their soul for that one shot at being auto-tuned to within an inch of their existence on a song no-one cared about the previous 5 times it was covered. But what would be the benefit of such bleak sour-puss pessimism?
It keeps people who make baubles in employment.
I'd decided to take an early morning mid-December walk to the local park and drink in the crisp unsullied air. Save a few joggers building up their stamina for an upcoming marathon and some hardy souls walking their dogs, the picturesque environs were sparsely populated. I navigated my way through the stragglers and saw, beyond some trees. a vast sprawling lake beckoning me forth with it's shimmering surface sheen. I'd planned to return home to watch a documentary about 18th century carpentry, but as if in the presence of some charming hypnotist, I acquiesced to the water's subtle, seductive ebb and flow. I took my place on a backless stone bench facing the azure vista. I watched my expired breath caught in front of me by the suspended atmospheric moisture.
Having been here many times as a youngster, I felt cherished memories sneak up on my unguarded sub-consciousness; I thought about the days where my friends and I would gather branches and build a makeshift hut; the stolen moments with my then girlfriend in our after-school trysts; and an unfortunate contretemps with my best pal as we unknowingly horrified a poor homeless man with our flatulence contest, arousing him from his hitherto camouflaged slumber.
I chuckled and looked around, wondering if I might allow myself to childishly relive that moment again, right now.
An elderly lady in a long charcoal grey coat took up residence on the adjacent bench. Her collar was zipped up to her chin and a knitted hat pulled down past her ears. She settled down beside her a shopping bag taut with early morning purchases. It was too late for me to abort. I had already allowed a build up of intestinal gas to accumulate in the upper area of my colon pushing hard against its inner wall. The pressure accelerated, contorting my abdomen and then my chest. I was consumed. I was primed.
The expelling rush of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and oxygen shuddered my body so violently the lake had become an indiscernible blur, and so I closed my eyes. The sound crescendoed into a cacophonic roar, scattering the perturbed wildlife. Feeling the stone bench fracture beneath me was the last I experienced of the physical realm before my mind spiralled into a hallucinogenic, kaleidoscopic dream state. The fabric of time-space tore asunder and I ascended through a torus portal, looping beyond the event horizon before returning gently to the physical world; the physical world returning gently to me. I was finally present in the moment again on the bench by the lake. I opened my eyes and looked to my right.
Perched on the adjacent bench were the charred skeletal remains of the old lady. I felt the color drain from my pallor as I scrambled across the grass towards the macabre scene. I tried to persuade myself that maybe I was still transcending on that spiritual plane, that my senses were deceiving me. I knew the truth deep down, though. Some still-recognisable fragments of her belongings had survived. Ribbons, wrapping paper, toys, confectionery, name tags of loved ones… She'd been Christmas shopping. By now I could barely breathe through my grief but had the strength to pick up the one thing that survived in its entirety; a Christmas card with Santa playing football on its cover. I began to read the handwritten message therein.
My favourite FPL Christmas moment takes me back to a winter retreat in the sunny climate of Cancun. I cycled the short distance between hotel and beach. The amassed throngs had beaten me to the picture-postcard landscape, slowing my progress down to a crawl, but afforded me plenty of opportune voyeuristic indulgences; like observing a clumsy father-of-two relinquish his grip on a double-scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream; a screeching baby suddenly pacified by the sight of a cute dog wearing sunglasses; and a young couple busking out festive classics.
Not wishing to stick around for the next song, I moved along the beach into a relatively open clearing. I saw a bunch of young children playing football. One team was a player short (well they were all short, but y'know…) and so I chained my bike to a railing, stepped tentatively barefoot onto the hot sand and made my way towards them. Behind me I heard the distant strains of "Wonderful Christmastime" being abruptly curtailed by gunfire. I chose not to look back.
I waited for a break in play and yelled, "Hey! Is it okay if I join in?". They recognised my Arsenal shirt and excitedly shouted for me to play in goal. Typical. Better than nothing I suppose. One of the children's mothers approached me, probably to make sure that I wasn't some random weirdo. Technically, I was absolutely some random weirdo, so I steeled myself for some tough negotiations. She was an attractive lady in her mid 30's and stood in front of me adopting a self-assured posture.
"That kid wants me to play in goal." I bumblingly blurted out.
"Yep, that's my son. We're both massive Arsenal fans." She had a North London accent.
The force of that unintended innuendo rocked me back on my heels, shaking me to my foundations. I began to shudder violently and screamed into the cloudless sky above me. The beach had now become an indiscernible blur, and so I closed my eyes. My voice crescendoed into a cacophonic roar, scattering the perturbed holiday-goers. Feeling the fragile goal frame fracture behind me was the last I experienced of the physical realm before my mind spiralled into a hallucinogenic, kaleidoscopic dream state. The fabric of time-space tore asunder and I ascended through a torus portal, looping beyond the event horizon before returning gently to the physical world; the physical world returning gently to me. I was finally present in the moment again on the beach by the ocean. I opened my eyes and looked around.
Taking in my surroundings, I took my seat as an audience member in the auditorium. The TV cameras were taking up their positions and the presenters, with their fingers pressed to earpieces, were directed to their marks. The excited hum of the crowd provided a background of soft white noise. A voice counted down loudly from 10, changing to silent hand signals at 3… 2… 1. The UK Lotto show had started. And it was live.
As a fan myself, it was a sentiment I shared. What I couldn't fathom was the expressionless stare as he said it. Curiously devoid of any visible passion, he looked like a man condemned to some unspeakable fate. Not wishing to pry, I let him be. In any case, the Lotto machine had whirred into action and the numbers were about to be called.
The gentleman seemed agitated. He was holding his ticket tightly, but his shaking hands betrayed him. I caught a glimpse of his numbers. He was halfway to winning the jackpot.
I had missed all my own numbers, but could barely control my excitement for the chap in red. It was thrilling just to witness this. I couldn't imagine how I would react if it was me. That explosion of unbridled joy would be almost frighteningly euphoric.
I voiced a barely suppressed yelp and turned to embrace him. But something was wrong. He stood up and made his way down the aisle towards the stage. Rather than looking like a man who'd just become a multi-millionaire, this forlorn figure's emotions mirrored that of someone who had a poor wi-fi connection; or had just been lightly slapped in the face by a bag of diced onions. He stopped and turned back to address the audience. "Winning this gives me no joy." He murmured. "I want someone who will truly appreciate it." He looked straight at me.
Thanks for reading Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 17. This article was written by Bry.
with matt ryan going soon, whos brightons number 2 keeper? steele or button?
Tadic five goals in champions league. Two against bayern today. Premier league clubs have been pretty blind for this steal.
3-3 versus Bayern at home. Not bad for a club like Ajax. Hehe. Teams going down in the epl have more to spent.
Mendy or Billing (did not play last match) best for 4.5m? Already have Hojberg. | {

Animal Friends asks the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine's cooperation in solving the beagles scandal
Illegal activities concerning dog experiments took place four months ago inside of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine when the "scientist" Antun Brkic violated not only regulations and veterinary code of ethics, but also the Croatian Animal Welfare Act according to which experiments on the animals are allowed only if there are no other scientific alternatives left. The pain, suffering and injuries imposed upon the animals should be ethically justified by results expected from those experiments. Such experiments are allowed only if their results are highly important to men, to animals or the science itself. Animal experiments are allowed only if the results of these experiments, despite all available alternatives, are not familiar enough or further investigation is absolutely necessary (Articles 28 and 31). Experiments of bone fracturing with the purpose of studying morphogenetic bone protein (BMP) which Mr. Brkic planned to conduct on the beagles have already been conducted on animals before, and three years ago on people as well.
Anonymous sender of Mr. Brkic's letter!
An anonymous consignor sent us a copy of Mr. Brkic's announcement, dated on October 3, 2005, which he sent to the staff of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and we forwarded to the media. In that announcement Antun Brkic says that on May 24, 2005 the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management approved experiments on 54 rabbits aged 5 months and 54 cross-breed dogs of various age, but not the beagle dogs. Moreover, the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport issued no written approval because there were not enough financial resources for conducting the experiments. Brkic admitted that for that reason dr. Slobodan Vukicevic from the Croatian Association for Mineralized Tissues donated 32 beagle dogs for above mentioned experiment. The dogs arrived at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine on 30 June, and on 11 July (during quarantine time) upon "lively and happy" dogs Mr. Brkic "started to conduct planned procedures on 22 animals."
According to his own statement, Antun Brkic asked and received approval for conducting the experiments upon rabbits and cross-breed dogs. Considering that there is no information about breeders of cross-breed dogs for scientific experiments anywhere in Croatia or abroad, we wonder where from Antun Brkic planned to get the dogs and how it is possible for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management to approve such request. Furthermore, it is unexplainable how can a scientist privately donate dogs to another scientist which conducts experiments in the name of institution where he works as it happened in Brkic and Vukicevic case.
The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine washes (or not) its hands clean of the "beagle case"
On July 20, 2005 the Faculty council of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine unanimously signed a resolution of a Committee for investigating the real facts of the "beagle case" which said "the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has not permitted quarantine for beagle dogs' and 'The faculty authorities were not informed about planning, organizing or conducting experiments on beagle dogs," which means that they had no idea what was happening in their own institution. Despite the fact that Antun Brkic conducted illegal activities on the Faculty which are currently being investigated by the State attorney, after the protest we held on November 26 against the bone-fracturer and torturer of the beagles, in a press release which the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine issued last week, they condemned the protest and claimed that "all experiments conducted inside the Faculty have always been exclusively in the function of scientific research work and other basic activities of the Faculty" and that "animal welfare is being monitored by the committee for animal welfare as well as the committee for scientific and research projects." We want to know where were those committees during experiments on beagles as they before said they had no idea whatsoever about beagle experiments.
The beagles as "live flesh"
In spite of such "care" dogs were living in filthy narrow cages, and when they were finally rescued they were horrified and sick. Besides fractured legs, all dogs were underfed, most of them had ear infections, some laryngitis, some had scratches and injuries on their tails from banging cage bars, three had gastritis, one hernia, one had an eye missing, one without tail and anus, and as a result of bad immunity dogs now often suffer from various diseases and are under constant veterinary care. People who adopted the dogs have written documentation to confirm these illnesses. Besides physical illnesses the dogs also slowly recover from traumas. They are still afraid of loud sounds, white robes and strangers, some still twitch and whine in their sleep and some uncontrollably urinate. It is disgraceful that dogs were not medically treated even though they suffered from diseases which are routinely cured, what is just another proof that dogs were just being "live flesh" and they would be killed after experiments were over.
Who will take responsibility in the end?
The most recent statements of people in charge at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, lead by dean Ljiljana Pinter, once again denied the responsibility of their staff for torturing of animals and that way also denied their former announcements when they claimed that some regulations of the Faculty have been violated and that the Faculty has not permitted quarantine for the imported beagle dogs. The history of contradictory and illogical statements of dean Pinter only confirm that the Faculty has not condemned arrogant illegal activities of certain individuals, but moreover tries to cover things up and hide own responsibility for mentioned illegal activities. The lack of monitoring and the fact that dean Pinter has not handed over documentation about curing of the beagles is stunning. What concerns us most of all is that many more animals will be kept inside of the Faculty labs and there will be nobody to support their case.
Therefore we ask dean Pinter, the Ethical Committee and Faculty Council to accept responsibility, while we wait for a response of responsible authorities and results of the internal investigation of Ethical Committee about all experiments conducted inside of the Faculty from past two years as they promised to the public. Moreover, we ask individuals to stop hiding behind institutions, and ask institutions such as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine to deal with individuals responsible for illegal and unethical treatment of animals. If they don't want to lose their dignity and credibility, the members of the Faculty Council and dean Pinter should stop approving malversations inside of the institution where many other employees do their scientific and educational work correctly.

Preventive maintenance can go a long way with golf carts, and the little bit of time and investment required for your golf cart care will be well worth it in the long run. It will keep your golf cart in great shape for you, and help you to retain its value in case you ever decide you want to sell it.
First and foremost, keep a good eye on your golf car. Check your tire pressure, check underneath from time to time to make sure that nothing is caught in your undercarriage and check your springs just to be sure they do not become cracked or broken.
Basic maintenance includes keeping your suspension and steering components properly lubricated. For electric golf carts, you will want to keep your battery well-maintained to extend its life. Keep it charged, keep terminal connections free of corrosion and check the battery acid levels as your battery ages. For gas-powered golf cars, replace the plugs every two years in carts with heavy use and in three-to-five years for carts with more limited use. Replace the fuel and air filters annually and check the drive belt for cracks or rotting.
Also be sure to protect the exterior of your golf cart. If it isn't garage-kept, it is best to keep it covered with a golf cart cover. If you have leather seats, use a leather protectant on them to avoid cracking. If your seats are cloth, a simple fabric protector will do.
If you need any help with your golf cart maintenance, Gulf Atlantic Vehicles, conveniently located on Pioneer Trail in New Smyrna Beach, would be more than happy to help. Our family has provided top-quality golf cart sales and service for four generations and we are proud to have served the New Smyrna Beach area since 1965.

Q: Why does this regex match in javascript? Fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/42zcL/
I have the following code, which should alert "No Match". If I put the regex into regexpal.com and run it, it doesn't match (as expected). With this code, it does match. I know there is another way to do it, which works correctly - /^((.*)Waiting(.*))?$/, but I am curious as to why this one fails. It should match a string with the text "Waiting" in it or nothing at all.
var teststring="Anything";
if (teststring.match(/^((.*)Waiting(.*))|()$/)) alert('match');
else alert('No Match');
EDIT: Clearer example:
var teststring="b";
if (teststring.match(/^(a)|()$/)) alert('match');
else alert('No Match');
Produces a Match, when I would expect "No Match"
Expected behaviour, as per regexpal.com:
teststring: a = match
teststring: b = no match
Actual behaviour in javascript:
teststring: a = match
teststring: b = match
A: Because you have |()$ at the end which is like saying "Match what comes before | but if you don't find it, match anything as long as there's an end of line."
- Full RegEx reference
- Try it out
Hopefully this explains it a little better:
*
*The use of () in RegEx does not mean "Don't match anything". If no characters are specified it will still match against () at each position in the string (letter position that is). Imagine it like this: The word "Anything" turned into an array - [A,n,y,t,h,i,n,g] - if n = length of that array, the placeholder at [n] is non-empty, resulting in a "match" since no specific restriction was expressed in the pattern.
*Since #1 essentially means |()$ will return a positive result on any word tested, you will always see "match" in your alert.
I'm pretty terrible at conveying my thoughts so maybe this previous stack answer will fill in whatever holes my answer left open.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who voted for us at the Podcast Awards. While it would be all kinds of shiny to get a trophy, I just wanted to let you know that everyone from Kim and I, to the voice actors, the editors, the writers and all people in between are just happy to have such loving and devoted fans like you.
Buffy Between the Lines has always been a lot bigger than I could have ever dreamed when we started back in 2007. Our merry band of about 11 people grew into a mighty army of 300+ people now working on Angel Between the Lines. Without those folks I think we would have given up a long time ago.
Make no mistake, we'd love an award, but the real satisfaction comes from all of you – the folks working on the podcast and the folks listening to the podcast. The comments, reviews, emails and voice mails you've sent in saying how we've "brought Buffy back" and how we've given you a moment of joy is really what Buffy Between the Lines is all about.
In the end, we're fans of a little blonde slayer and her ragtag group of friends. That's why we pour in the hours, time, money and effort to create this podcast. Because we're fans who love this show. If you're reading this, you're part of the amazing experience these two years of Buffy Between the Lines has had. And that makes you pretty darn special.
And… if we don't win, well we're in good company with the actual TV show that should have received many Emmys, but never did.
Winners Announcement at Awards Ceremony
8pm Eastern December 12th
Via a Live Streamed event at the Podcast Awards website.
All 22 Category winners will be announced during the Awards Ceremony!
So thanks again for voting for us. I know it's a bit of a chore to do it every day, but you all were brilliant.

Special Episode for Sonny – The Secret Lives of Reavers
0 comments By Tabz Filed in Misc. March 27th, 2009 @ 8:20 pm
A couple months ago we were saddened to hear the state of affairs for one of Firefly's living legends: Sonny Rhodes, who masterfully sang the title theme song that we know and love. Fans rallied to support Sonny, offering donations out of their own pocket to help him as he went through some health issues that were preventing him from working.
Between the Lines Studios and our fans wanted to help Sonny out. So we offered a special episode JUST for people who donated on Sonny's Myspace page. This special episode is being sent off on April 1st, but there's still time for you to get the episode.
In this episode BtLS examines the Secret Lives of Reavers, giving you a unique story from the Firefly universe that you won't be able to hear anywhere else.
If you donated to Sonny make sure to send us an email at betweenthelinestudios.com with your paypal transaction # or proof of donation.
If you haven't made a donation yet you can do so at Sonny's Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sonnystorch
Not only will you be given this special episode, but you'll be put in a drawing for some great Whedon schwag including Buffy Between the Lines limited edition posters, a terrifying space monkey, comics and more!
Thanks to all of you who keep the 'Verse going.
Buffy Between the Lines Featured on Playtime Magazine
There's a really nice writeup/review of Buffy Between the Lines on Playtime Magazine:
Fanfiction has always been a dirty word. Maybe because a lot of fanfiction is actually very dirty. Maybe because a lot of it is complete rubbish. Let's face it: as much as Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans love the show, it's always been a bit of a leap to go from Joss Whedon's snappy, witty and smartly written TV drama to a format generally believed to be badly written, hurried, ill-conceived and generally very poor. Actually it's a bit of a leap for most to go from Whedon's series to any related Buffyverse tales, whether in story or comic book form. Those that don't, though, are starting to seriously miss out. When I first heard that a group of Buffy fans from the fanfiction community had gotten together to produce a Buffy radio drama I couldn't contain my laughter. With the best will in the world, how could a bunch of amateurs hope to pull off something remotely credible, let alone worthwhile? None of the original cast, no established scriptwriters and not even a proper soundstudio. "Very quaint," I thought, and promptly tuned in for comedy value.
Twelve episodes later, I'm on the brink of writing to Whedon, begging him to canonise the series and to give the team money and a proper studio to produce an official radio drama that would, undoubtedly, sell like hotcakes and be a worthy jewel in the Buffy crown. Not for my benefit, mind, as I'm now open-minded enough to head on over to the Buffy Between the Lines website and have my fill of this excellent show for free, but for those out there who are too driven by traditional media to give this a chance, thinking that something can only be worthy if they've succumbed to the marketing and paid for it. Let us instantly revise our swift categorisation of fanfiction as complete rubbish, then: Buffy Between the Lines (BBtL) is an essential item on any Buffy fan's agenda, combining all the hilarious wit and humour alongside tense, involving drama and fascinating characterisation of Whedon's original series. In short, it's a superbly written triumph that's beautifully acted across the board by its cast of amateur Buffy aficionados.

BBTLSonny – BBtL Special Episode for Sonny Rhodes
0 comments By Tabz Filed in Misc., Promo January 15th, 2009 @ 4:31 pm
Promo Read by: Scott McCoy
We as Browncoats and Whedon fans are known for rallying to help those in need. Because of Browncoats we've been able to donate thousands to "Kids Need to Read" and "Equality Now". Buffy fans have helped "Make a Wish" with their yearly Buffy marathon. Now, Sonny needs our help.
Currently this piece of Firefly's history, Sonny Rhodes, is facing a financial hardship. Being too sick to work has drained his personal finances and to help this great bluesman his friends have decided to start a relief fund for the months that Sonny will be laid up recovering from these surgeries. While a majority of Sonny's medical will be paid by insurance but not all expenses will be covered.
Buffy Between the Lines wants to help out, so we're doing a special episode that will -only- be available to those who donate to Sonny via his paypal button. We're not collecting the funds ourselves, but we would like you to head over to Sonny's Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/sonnystorch
Donate whatever you can to help out. Every little bit helps in these tough times. Once you've donated, send us an email at Buffy BetweentheLines at gmail dot com. Also include your Paypal transaction number or some proof of your donation. Add the Subject line "for Sonny".
We'll be sending everyone who participates and sends us an email a link to a special episode on April 1st, 2009. This episode will not appear anywhere else, and is only available to those listeners who donate to help Sonny out.
We're also going to give away some special goodies to randomly chosen entries. We have some Buffy Between the Lines schwag, Buffy Season 8 posters and other things we'll send to the lucky winners. So please help us help a friend.

1 comment By Tabz Filed in Misc. January 12th, 2009 @ 4:59 pm
Our hearts are very sad for our dear friend Sonny Rhodes, the singer who performed the Firefly theme song. He's been very sick and not able to work and now is struggling to make ends meet. You can read all about his situation on Whedonesque.
In order to help him out, we're going to be creating a VERY special episode of Buffy Between the Lines that is -only- available to people who donate to Sonny's paypal fund. We'll also be giving away some copies of Buffy Season 8 the comic, special Buffy Between the Lines posters, S1 of BBtL on DVD, and other prizes (TBA)
If you'd like to receive this secret episode, please make a donation to Sonny's paypal (you can find the button on his Myspace) and then send us an email to buffybetweenthelines-at-gmail.com with the subject line "For Sonny". In the email please put your name and Paypal transaction number (or other proof of donation). ANY amount can help Sonny out, so please give as you are able.
All emails received will receive a link to a secret episode on April 1st, 2009. Other winners will be notified by email.
If you have any questions, please leave us a comment or email the address above.
Congrats to Scott Sigler!
