http://europe.pimco.com/EN/Education/Pages/InterestRateSwapsBasics1-08.aspx | Interest Rate Swaps What is an interest rate swap ? An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange one stream of interest payments for another , over a set period of time . Swaps are derivative contracts and trade over - the - counter . The most commonly traded and most liquid interest rate swaps are known as “ vanilla ” swaps , which exchange fixed - rate payments for floating - rate payments based on LIBOR ( London Inter - Bank Offered Rate ) , which is the interest rate high - credit quality banks charge one another for short - term financing . LIBOR is the benchmark for floating short - term interest rates and is set daily . Although there are other types of interest rate swaps , such as those that trade one floating rate for another , vanilla swaps comprise the vast majority of the market . Investment and commercial banks with strong credit ratings are swap market makers , offering both fixed and floating - rate cash flows to their clients . The counterparties in a typical swap transaction are a corporation , a bank or an investor on one side ( the bank client ) and an investment or commercial bank on the other side . After a bank executes a swap , it usually offsets the swap through an inter - dealer broker and retains a fee for setting up the original swap . If a swap transaction is large , the inter - Initially , interest rate swaps helped corporations manage their floating - rate debt liabilities by allowing them to pay fixed rates , and receive floating - rate payments . In this way , corporations could lock into paying the prevailing fixed rate and receive payments that matched their floating - rate debt . ( Some corporations did the opposite – paid floating and received fixed – to match their assets or liabilities . ) However , because swaps reflect the market ’ s expectations for interest rates in the future , swaps also became an attractive tool for other fixed What is the swap rate ? The “ swap rate ” is the fixed interest rate that the receiver demands in exchange for the uncertainty of having to pay the short - term LIBOR ( floating ) rate over time . At any given time , the market ’ s forecast of what LIBOR will be in the future is reflected in the forward LIBOR curve . At the time of the swap agreement , the total value of the swap ’ s fixed rate flows will be equal to the value of expected floating rate payments implied by the forward LIBOR curve . As forward expectations for LIBOR change , so will the fixed rate that investors demand to enter into new swaps . Swaps are typically quoted in this fixed rate , or alternatively in the “ swap spread , ” which is the difference between the swap rate and the equivalent local government bond yield for the same maturity . A similar principle applies when looking at money itself and considering interest as the price for money . If the real return ( adjusted for inflation ) on a financial asset differs between two countries , investors will flock to the country with the higher returns . Interest rates have to change to stop this movement . The theory behind this relationship is called the interest rate parity theory . ( When looking at interest rates , it is important to distinguish between real rates and nominal rates , with the difference reflecting the rate of inflation . The higher the expected inflation in a country , the more compensation investors will demand when investing in a particular currency . ) What is the swap curve The plot of swap rates across all available maturities is known as the swap curve , as shown in the chart below . Because swap rates incorporate a snapshot of the forward expectations for LIBOR , as well as the market ’ s perception of other factors such as liquidity , supply and demand dynamics , and the credit quality of the banks , the swap curve is an extremely important interest rate benchmark . Although the swap curve is typically similar in shape to the equivalent sovereign yield curve , swaps can trade higher or lower than sovereign yields with corresponding maturities . The difference between the two is the “ swap spread ” , which is shown in the chart below . Historically the spread tended to be positive across maturities , reflecting the higher credit risk of banks versus sovereigns . However , other factors , including liquidity , and supply and demand dynamics , mean that in the U.S. today the swap spread is negative at longer maturities . Because the swap curve reflects both LIBOR expectations and bank credit , it is a powerful indicator of conditions in the fixed income markets . In certain cases , the swap curve has supplanted the Treasury curve as the primary benchmark for pricing and trading corporate bonds , loans and mortgages . How does a swap contract work ? At the time a swap contract is put into place , it is typically considered “ at the money , ” meaning that the total value of fixed interest rate cash flows over the life of the swap is exactly equal to the expected value of floating interest rate cash flows . In the example below , an investor has elected to receive fixed in a swap contract . If the forward LIBOR curve , or floating - rate curve , is correct , the 2.5 % he receives will initially be better than the current floating 1 % LIBOR However , the forward LIBOR curve changes constantly . Over time , as interest rates implied by the curve change and as credit spreads fluctuate , the balance between the green zone and the blue zone will shift . If interest rates fall or stay lower than expected , the “ receiver ” of fixed will profit ( green area will expand relative to blue ) . If rates rise and hold higher than expected , the “ receiver ” will lose ( blue expands relative to green ) . If a swap becomes unprofitable or if a counterparty wishes to shed the interest rate risk of the swap , that counterparty can set up a countervailing swap – essentially a mirror image of the original swap – with a different counterparty to “ cancel out ” the impact of the original swap . How to invest in interest rates swaps ? Interest rate swaps became an essential tool for many types of investors , as well as corporate treasurers , risk managers and banks , because they have so many potential uses . These include : Portfolio management . Interest rate swaps allow portfolio managers to adjust interest rate exposure and offset the risks posed by interest rate volatility . By increasing or decreasing interest rate exposure in various parts of the yield curve using swaps , managers can either ramp - up or neutralize their exposure to changes in the shape of the curve , and can also express views on credit spreads . Swaps can also act as substitutes for other , less liquid fixed income instruments . Moreover , long - dated interest rate swaps can increase the duration of a portfolio , making them an effective tool in Liability Driven Investing , where managers aim to match the duration of assets with that of long - term liabilities . Speculation . Because swaps require little capital up front , they give fixed income traders a way to speculate on movements in interest rates while potentially avoiding the cost of long and short positions in Treasuries . For example , to speculate that five - year rates will fall using cash in the Treasury market , a trader must invest cash or borrowed capital to buy a five - year Treasury note . Instead , the trader could “ receive ” fixed in a five - year swap transaction , which offers a similar speculative bet on falling rates , but Corporate finance . Firms with floating rate liabilities , such as loans linked to LIBOR , can enter into swaps where they pay fixed and receive floating , as noted earlier . Companies might also set up swaps to pay floating and receive fixed as a hedge against falling interest rates , or if floating rates more closely match their assets or income stream . Risk management . Banks and other financial institutions are involved in a huge number of transactions involving loans , derivatives contracts and other investments . The bulk of fixed and floating interest rate exposures typically cancel each other out , but any remaining interest rate risk can be offset with interest rate swaps . Rate - locks on bond issuance . When corporations decide to issue fixed - rate bonds , they usually lock in the current interest rate by entering into swap contracts . That gives them time to go out and find investors for the bonds . Once they actually sell the bonds , they exit the swap contracts . If rates have gone up since the decision to sell bonds , the swap contracts will be worth more , offsetting the increased financing cost . What are the risks Like most non - government fixed income investments , interest - rate swaps involve two primary risks : interest rate risk and credit risk , which is known in the swaps market as counterparty risk . Because actual interest rate movements do not always match expectations , swaps entail interest - rate risk . Put simply , a receiver ( the counterparty receiving a fixed - rate payment stream ) profits if interest rates fall and loses if interest rates rise . Conversely , the payer ( the counterparty paying fixed ) profits if rates rise and loses if rates fall . Swaps are also subject to the counterparty ’ s credit risk : the chance that the other party in the contract will default on its responsibility . This risk has been partially mitigated since the financial crisis , with a large portion of swap contacts now clearing through central counterparties ( CCPs ) . However , the risk is still higher than that of investing in a “ risk - free ” U.S. Treasury bond . Disclosures A “ risk - free ” asset refers to an asset which in theory has a certain future return . U.S. Treasuries are typically perceived to be the “ risk - free ” asset because they are backed by the U.S. government . All investments contain risk and may lose value . Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results . A word about risk : Investing in the bond market is subject to risks , including market , interest rate , issuer , credit , inflation risk , and liquidity risk . The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates . Bonds and bond strategies with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and volatile than those with shorter durations ; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise , and the current low interest rate environment increases this risk . Current reductions in bond counterparty capacity may contribute to decreased market liquidity and increased price volatility . Bond investments may be worth Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks , such as liquidity , interest rate , market , credit , management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous . Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested . Swaps are a type of derivative ; swaps are increasingly subject to central clearing and exchange - trading . Swaps that are not centrally cleared and exchange - traded may be less liquid than exchange - traded instruments . Sovereign securities are generally backed by the issuing government . Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees , but are generally not backed by the full faith of the U.S. government . Portfolios that invest in such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate in value . Floating rate loans are not traded on an exchange and are subject to significant credit , valuation and liquidity risk .

http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/thefrenchrevolution/a/hfr7.htm | Humanities History & Culture A History of the French Revolution : the Reign of Terror The French people destroying the emblems of the monarchy during the French Revolution with detail from a painting by Pierre Antoine Demachy . DEA / G . DAGLI ORTI / Getty Images by Robert Wilde Updated February 06 , 2019 In July 1793 , the revolution was at its lowest ebb . Enemy forces were advancing over French soil , British ships hovered near French ports hoping to link up with rebels , the Vendée had become a region of open rebellion , and Federalist revolts were frequent . Parisians were worried that Charlotte Corday , the assassin of Marat , was only one of the thousands of provincial rebels operating in the capital ready to strike down the leaders of the revolution in droves . Meanwhile , power struggles between sansculottes and their enemies had begun to erupt in many sections of Paris . The whole country was unfolding into a civil war . It got worse before it got better . While many of the Federalist revolts were collapsing under both local pressures — food shortages , fear of reprisals , reluctant to march far — and the actions of Convention Deputies sent on mission , on August 27th , 1793 Toulon accepted an offer of protection from a British fleet which had been sailing offshore , declaring themselves in favor of the infant Louis VII and welcoming the British to port . The Terror Begins While the Committee of Public Safety was n ' t an executive government — on August 1st , 1793 , the Convention refused a motion calling for it to become the provisional government ; it was the closest France had to anyone being in overall charge , and it moved to meet the challenge with utter ruthlessness . Over the next year , the committee marshaled the nation ' s resources to tackle its many crises . It also presided over the bloodiest period of the revolution : The Terror . Marat may have been killed , but many French citizens were still forwarding his ideas , chiefly that only the extreme use of the guillotine against traitors , suspects , and counter - revolutionaries would solve the country ' s problems . They felt terror was necessary — not figurative terror , not a posture , but actual government rule through terror . The Convention deputies increasingly heeded these calls . There were complaints about a ' spirit of moderation ' in the Convention and another series of price increases were quickly blamed on ' endormers ' , or ' dozer ' ( as in sleeping ) deputies . On September 4th , 1793 , a demonstration for more wages and bread was quickly turned to the advantage of those calling for terror , and they returned on the 5th to march to the Convention . Chaumette , backed by thousands of sans - culottes , declared that the Convention should tackle the The Convention agreed , and in addition voted to finally organize the revolutionary armies people had agitated for over previous months to march against the hoarders and unpatriotic members of the countryside , although they turned down Chaumette ’ s request for the armies to be accompanied by guillotines on wheels for even swifter justice . In addition , Danton argued that arms production should be increased until every patriot had a musket and that the Revolutionary Tribunal should be divided to increase efficiency . The sansculottes had once again forced their wishes onto and through the Convention ; terror Execution On September 17th , a Law of Suspects was introduced allowing for the arrest of anyone whose conduct suggested they were supporters of tyranny or federalism , a law which could be easily twisted to affect just about everyone in the nation . Terror could be applied to everyone , easily . There were also laws against nobles who had been anything less than zealous in their support for the revolution . A maximum was set for a wide range of food and goods and the Revolutionary Armies formed and set out to search for traitors and crush the revolt It ' s usually forgotten that the laws passed during the Terror went beyond simply tackling the various crises . The Bocquier Law of December 19th , 1793 provided a system of compulsory and free state education for all children aged 6 – 13 , albeit with a curriculum stressing patriotism . Homeless children also became a state responsibility , and people born out of wedlock were given full inheritance rights . A universal system of metric weights and measurements was introduced on August 1 , 1793 , while an attempt to end poverty was made by using ‘ suspects However , it is the executions for which the Terror is so infamous , and these began with the execution of a faction called the Enrages , who was soon followed by the former queen , Marie Antoinette , on October 17th and many of the Girondins on October 31st . Around 16,000 people ( not including deaths in the Vendée , see below ) went to the guillotine in the next nine months as the Terror lived up to its name , and around the same again also died as a result , usually in prison . In Lyons , which surrendered at the end of 1793 , the Committee of Public Safety decided to set an example and there were so many to be guillotined that on December 4th - 8th , 1793 people were executed en masse by cannon fire . Whole areas of the town were destroyed and 1880 killed . In Toulon , which was recaptured on December 17th thanks to one Captain Bonaparte and his artillery , 800 were shot and nearly 300 guillotined . Marseilles and Bordeaux , which also capitulated , escaped relatively lightly with ' only ' hundreds executed . The Repression of the Vendée The Committee of Public Safety ' s counter - offensive took the terror deep into the heart of the Vendée . Government forces also began winning battles , forcing a retreat which killed around 10,000 and ' the whites ' began to melt away . However , the final defeat of the Vendée ' s army at Savenay was not the end , because repression followed which ravaged the area , burnt swathes of land and slaughtered around a quarter of a million rebels . In Nantes , the deputy on mission , Carrier , ordered the ' guilty ' The Nature of the Terror Carrier ' s actions were typical of autumn 1793 when deputies on mission took the initiative in spreading the Terror using revolutionary armies , which may have grown to 40,000 strong . These were normally recruited from the local area they were to operate in and were usually comprised of artisans from the cities . Their local knowledge was essential in seeking out hoarders and traitors , usually from the countryside . Around half a million people may have been imprisoned across France , and 10,000 may have died in prison without trial . Many lynchings also occurred . However , this early phase of the terror was not , as legend recalls , aimed at nobles , who made up only 9 % of the victims ; clergy were 7 % . Most executions occurred in Federalist areas after the army had regained control and some loyal areas escaped largely unscathed . It was normal , everyday people , killing masses of other normal , everyday people . It was a Dechristianization During the Terror , deputies on mission began attacking the symbols of Catholicism : smashing images , vandalizing buildings , and burning vestments . On October 7th , in Rheims , the sacred oil of Clovis which was used to anoint French kings was smashed . When a revolutionary calendar was introduced , making a break with the Christian calendar by starting on September 22nd , 1792 ( this new calendar had twelve - thirty day months with three ten - day weeks ) the deputies increased their dechristianization , especially in regions where rebellion had been put down . The Committee of Public Safety grew concerned about the counter - productive effects , especially Robespierre who believed that faith was vital to order . He spoke out and even got the Convention to restate their commitment to religious freedom , but it was too late . Dechristianization flourished across the nation , churches closed and 20,000 priests were pressured into renouncing their position . The Law of 14 Frimaire On December 4th , 1793 , a law was passed , taking as its name the date in the Revolutionary Calendar : 14 Frimaire . This law was designed to give the Committee of Public Safety even more control over the whole of France by providing a structured ' chain of authority ' under the revolutionary government and to keep everything highly centralized . The Committee was now the supreme executive and nobody further down the chain was supposed to alter the decrees in any way , including the deputies on a mission who became increasingly sidelined as local district In effect , the law of 14 Frimaire aimed to institute a uniform administration with no resistance , the opposite of that to the constitution of 1791 . It marked the end of the first phase of the terror , a ' chaotic ' regime , and an end to the campaigning of the revolutionary armies who first came under central control and were then closed on March 27th , 1794 . Meanwhile , factional infighting in Paris saw more groups go to the guillotine and sansculotte power began to wane , partly as a result of exhaustion , partly The Republic of Virtue By the spring and summer of 1794 , Robespierre , who had argued against dechristianization , had tried to save Marie Antoinette from the guillotine and who had vacillated over the future began to form a vision of how the republic should be run . He wanted a ' cleansing ' of the country and committee and he outlined his idea for a republic of virtue while denouncing those he deemed non - virtuous , many of whom , including Danton , went to the Guillotine . So began a new phase in the Terror , where people could be executed for what they might do , not had done , or simply because they failed to meet Robespierre ' s new The Republic of Virtue concentrated power at the Centre , around Robespierre . This included closing all provincial courts for conspiracy and counter - revolutionary charges , which were to be held at the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris instead . Parisian jails soon filled with suspects and the process was speeded up to cope , partly by scrapping witnesses and defense . Furthermore , the only punishment it could give out was death . As with the Law of Suspects , almost anyone could be found guilty for anything under these new criteria . Executions , which had tailed off , now rose sharply again . 1,515 people were executed in Paris in June and July 1794 , 38 % of which were nobles , 28 % clergy and 50 % bourgeoisie . The Terror was now almost class - based rather than against counter - revolutionaries . In addition , the Paris Commune was altered to become docile to the Committee of Public Safety and proscribed wage levels were introduced . These were unpopular , but the Paris sections were now too centralized to oppose it . Dechristianization was reversed as Robespierre , still convinced that faith was important , introduced the Cult of the Supreme Being on May 7th , 1794 . This was a series of Republican themed celebrations to be held on the rest days of the new calendar , a new civic religion . Continue Reading | [

http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/ukandireland/p/prdomesdaybk.htm | Humanities History & Culture The Consequences of the Norman Conquest William the Conqueror in the Bayeux Tapestry . Wikimedia Commons by Robert Wilde Updated January 06 , 2019 William of Normandy ’ s success in the Norman Conquest of 1066 , when he seized the crown from Harold II , used to be credited with bringing in a host of new legal , political and social changes to England , effectively marking 1066 as the start of a new age in English history . Historians now believe the reality is more nuanced , with more inherited from the Anglo - Saxons , and more developed as a reaction to what was happening in England , rather than the Normans simply recreating Normandy in their new land . Nevertheless , the Norman Conquest still bought many changes . The following is Anglo - Saxon elites , the largest landholders in England , were replaced by Franco - Normans . Those Anglo - Saxons nobles who had survived the battles of 1066 had the chance to serve William and retain power and land , but many rebelled over contentious issues , and soon William had turned away from compromise to importing loyal men from the continent . By William ’ s death , the Anglo - Saxon aristocracy was all but replaced . In the Domesday book of 1086 , there are only four large English landowners . However , there may only have been around 25,000 Franco - Normans out of a population of two million when William died . There was not a massive importation of a new Norman population Much of the upper reaches of church government was replaced . By 1087 , eleven of fifteen bishops were Norman , and only one of the other four was English . The church had power over people and land , and now William had power over them . Castles : Anglo - Saxons did not , in general , build castles , and the Normans started a huge building program in order to help secure their power . The most common early type was wooden , but stone followed . The castle building habits of the Normans has left a mark on England still visible to the eye ( and the tourist industry is thankful for it . ) The importance of receiving land from a lord in return for loyalty and service grew enormously under the Normans , who created a system of land tenure unmatched in Europe . Quite how homogenous this system was ( probably not very ) , and whether it can be called feudal ( probably not ) are still being discussed . Before the conquest , Anglo - Saxons owed an amount of service based on regularized units of land holding ; afterward , they owed service based entirely on the settlement they had achieved with their overlord or the king . The idea that a person held two types of land – his ‘ patrimony ’ / family land which he had inherited , and his extended lands which he had conquered – and the idea that these lands could go to different heirs , came into England with the Normans . Familial relationships , of heirs to parents , changed as a result . The links between Scandinavia and England were deeply severed . Instead , England was brought closer to events in France and this region of the continent , leading to the Angevin Empire and then the Hundred Years War . Before 1066 England had seemed destined to stay in the orbit of Scandinavian , whose conquerors had taken hold of large chunks of the British Isles . After 1066 England looked south . Increased use of writing in government . While the Anglo - Saxons had written some things down , Anglo - Norman government vastly increased it . After 1070 , Latin replaced English as the language of government . The power of the earls was reduced after Anglo - Saxon rebellions . Earls now held less land , with correspondingly reduced wealth and influence . Royal forests , with their own laws , were created . Higher taxes : most monarchs are criticized for heavy taxes , and William I was no exception . But he had to raise funds for the occupation and pacification of England . A new court , known as the Lords , honourial or seigniorial , was created . They were held , as the name suggests , by lords for their tenants , and have been called a key part of the “ feudal ” system . Murdrum fines : if a Norman was killed , and the killer not identified , the entire English community could be fined . That this law was needed perhaps reflects on the problems faced by the Norman raiders . Trial by battle was introduced . There was a large decline in the numbers of free peasants , who were lower class workers who could quit their land in search of new landlords . Far more English land was given to continental monasteries , to hold as ‘ alien priories ’ , then before the Norman Conquest . Indeed , more monasteries were founded in England . Continental architecture was imported en mass . Every major Anglo - Saxon cathedral or abbey , apart from Westminster , was rebuilt bigger and more fashionably . Parish churches were also widely rebuilt in stone . Continue Reading | [

http://evangelismexperiences.blogspot.com/2008/08/loving-god-must-punish-sin.html | Tuesday , August 26 , 2008 A Loving God Must Punish Sin Tonight I met a girl who did not believe that God would punish sin . She said that God is love and does not punish , but merely forgives . This is wrong . Two reasons pop to my mind now - the first is how I responded , and the second is a bit of a deeper reason now that I have had some time to reflect on this question . In my response to the girl ' s statement , I noted that God is , in fact love , but He is also just and righteous . If God is also just and righteous , He must punish wickedness in the same way that a judge in a court here in Minneapolis must punish for crimes . If the judge is a good judge , the judge can not just forgive a rapist or a murder no matter how sorry the criminal feels . No , a just human judge must pronounce judgment on the criminal . In the Also , if God is love , he can not leave sin unpunished because it does not show love to the ones harmed by that sin . For example , if a human judge were to forgive a murder , how is that showing love to the murder victim ' s family . That is not love , nor justice . The girl did not like this answer , but I think it gave her pause . On further reflection , I think that there are other , deeper answers . One is that true love is limited in the way it is expressed . Just as a mother would not show true love to her 3 - year - old child by letting the child hit her in the face , God does not show true love by overlooking or ignoring our sin . No instead , God showed His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners , Christ died for us . Yes , God is love , but true love Another answer is that God ' s love is first and foremost directed to His glory . See Isiah 43 : 1 - 7 describing how God created us for His glory : " Bring . . . everyone who is called by my name and whom I have created for my glory and Isaiah 43 : 20 - 21 describing how God created us for His praise : " I give water in the wilderness , rivers in the desert to give drink to my chosen people , the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise . " and Isaiah 48 : 9 - 11 describing how God is motivated for His name ' s sake and glory : " For My name ' s sake I defer my anger , for the sake of My praise I restrain it for you , that I may not cut you off . . . For My own sake , for My own sake I do it , for how should My name be profaned ? My glory I will not give to another . " Above all , God loves Himself and upholds His glory , and to uphold His glory as infinitely valuable requires that punishment be executed on those who profane , or disgrace , God ' s glory . Overlooking , or ignoring , sin would communicate that an offense against God was not that big of a deal . But God does see it as a big deal - a huge deal . He demands that sin be punished - either by condemning the sinner to hell or by pouring His wrath out for the sinner onto Jesus Christ . If Questions ?

http://evatt.org.au/papers/declining-trade-union-membership.html | Home » Declining trade union membership Declining trade union membership Geoffrey Beckman Trade union rights Trade unions rights are restricted by an array of anti - union laws that limit trade union power . It is self evident that trade union power and membership numbers are connected . The greater union power the more reason people have to belong to unions ; and the greater the union membership the greater is union power . Cause and effect become reinforcing . It is my contention that these anti - union laws are the primary cause of low trade union membership and that these laws must be abolished before this decline can be reversed . If this contention is correct , it follows that a primary objective of trade union activity should be legislative reform as well as shop - floor organisation . The struggle for trade union rights is part of the struggle for political rights in general . These political rights were originally called the Rights of Man . We shall begin by looking at the political principles that underpin democratic society . Upon this basis we can begin to understand the position of trade union rights within the body politic and thereby gain an appreciation of the repressive and undemocratic nature of present industrial legislation . We shall also look at the role of compulsory arbitration within the industrial relations system . The paper ends with some general comments on Political principles Marxists assert , that the history of all hitherto mankind is the history of class struggle . There is a lot of truth in this assertion . But political history may also be viewed as a struggle for rights . Among the rights that are today taken for granted , but in fact had to be fought for and won , are universal suffrage , the right to a trial , habeas corpus 1 , and protection against arbitrary search and seizure . Just as all these rights have been recognised and put into law , so should the rights of trade unions be recognised and put into law . Modern democratic rights first came into existence as a result of the American and French revolutions . One of the key protagonists for these rights was Tom Paine . We shall for the most part use his writings as our political template . Paine was born in Britain in 1737 . He moved to America where he was prominent in the American Revolutionary Movement . He published a number of significant pamphlets advocating an American Declaration of Independence and attacking the British Government and King . He returned to Britain and published a defence of the French Revolution called ' The Rights of Man ' . For this he was charged with seditious libel and convicted . He fled to France where he was a Girondin Party ( moderate ) delegate to the Revolutionary Convention in Paris . He opposed the execution of There are three political principles upon which political rights are based . These are , Democracy , Justice and Liberty . Democracy Paine believed that that the foundation of democracy is that the people themselves form a ' social compact ' upon which they found a government and this compact is written and is called a Constitution . Paine also states that legitimate government has no existence separate from the people . Some of the key features of a democracy as identified by Paine are listed below . It has been thought a considerable advance towards the establishing the principle of freedom , to say that the government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed : but this can not be true , because it is putting the effect before the cause ; for as man must have existed before governments existed , there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist , and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with . The fact therefore must be , that the individuals themselves , each in his 2 A constitution is not an act of government , but of a people constituting a government ; and government without a constitution , is power without a right . 3 Government is not a trade which any man or body of men has a right to set up and exercise for his own emolument , but is altogether a trust , in right of those by whom that trust is delegated , and by whom it is always resumable . It has of itself no rights ; they are altogether duties . 4 The foundation of democratic government is the sovereignty of the people . The people elect the parliament for the purpose of exercising political power . Part of the exercise of this power is the granting of rights and the imposition of duties upon citizens . When parliament votes to enact a law it makes a decision by majority rule but it makes that decision as a parliament representing the nation as a whole . It makes the laws as the result of political conflict but enacts them in the name of all the people not just the majority . Bertrand Russell in his history of Western Philosophy questions the basis in reason and morality of submitting to the majority opinion . He states , It should be observed that the view that substitutes the consensus of opinion for an objective standard has certain consequences that few would accept . What are we to say of scientific innovators like Galileo , who advocate an opinion with which few agree , but finally win the support of almost everybody ? They do so by means of argument , not by emotional appeals or state propaganda or the use of force . This implies a criterion other than the general opinion . In ethical matters there is something analogous in the case of great religious teachers . 5 Russell was one of the foremost philosophers of the twentieth century and what he is saying essentially is that the will of the majority is not intrinsically moral . Democracy is not rule by the majority it is rather rule by those elected by the majority and those that are elected have a duty to make laws for the common good . That is governments have a duty to act morally . Governments have a duty to protect the rights and interest of individuals and minorities as well as to act for the majority . Justice In his pamphlet Agrarian Justice Paine argues in a pre - industrial society for the provision of work for all families and government assistance to those in need . He puts the case for social justice with conviction . It is not charity but a right - not bounty but justice , that I am pleading for . The present state of what is called civilisation , is as odious as it is unjust . It is the reverse of what it ought to be , and it is necessary that a revolution be made in it . The contrast of affluence and wretchedness continually meeting the eye is like dead and living bodies chained together . Though I care as little about riches as any man , I am a friend to riches because they are capable of 6 Paine ' s view is straightforward . When you see it , injustice is self - evident . Social justice is not based on envy but rather on compassion . Social justice is a right . Liberty ' Men are born free but everywhere they are in chains , ' Rousseau ' s famous words in his book the Social Contract were an appeal for liberty that was an inspiration to the French Revolution . Rousseau argued that the purpose of the State is to protect the freedom of the individual and that the State was only justified in inhibiting individual freedom in order to protect the freedom of another individual . Thus , if Rousseau were writing a constitution of victimless crimes such as prostitution , illicit drug use or euthanasia would be beyond government power . Although this principle is logical as far as I know no constitution in the world , including the French has seen fit to limit government power to this extent . I believe that people should be free to do as they please unless there is a good reason for stopping them . Individual liberty should not be used as an excuse for people to avoid their obligations to other individuals or society . Nor should it be used as an excuse for the perpetuation of injustice . Although the exercise of government power may be for the protection of individual liberty as advocated by Rousseau , it does not rest on this for its ' legitimacy . The exercise of government power is legitimate because it is democratic . The right to strike Trade unions have the right to take industrial action whenever they choose , against whoever they choose and for whatever industrial objective that they choose . The basis of this right is the injustice of the unequal bargaining relationship that exists between the individual worker and the employer . The power of employers is based on a social / legal relationship called managerial prerogative . I shall define managerial prerogative as the set of laws that give managers control over workers and over industry in general . Managerial prerogative has its ' historical origin in the legal / social relation of worker and capitalist and along with property rights is a right protected by law . Employers have the power to ' hire and fire ' , that is , they control the economic security of workers . The result of which is the unfair distribution of national income 7 that favours employers ; the lowest 20per cent of income earners earn only 3.8per cent on national income , whereas the top 20per cent earn 48per cent of the income . It is the struggle for justice that is the basis in reason for trade union rights and it is the struggle for justice that makes the use of trade union power legitimate . The penal powers We saw above that governments have a duty to make laws for the benefit of all . The law recognises managerial prerogative but places great restrictions on the right of unions to take industrial action in the defence of their members interests . There are two sources of law in Australia . The Common Law that was inherited from England and Legislative Law , the laws passed by the Federal or State Parliaments . Legislation takes precedence over the Common Law . In this section I will survey the history of the Common Law and the Legislative restrictions on the rights of trade unions . The body of law that restricts trade union power is known as the Penal Powers . The common law Australian Common law was inherited from the English common law which in turn had its ' origins in Feudal England . The English Courts during Feudal times held that the employer ( The Master ) had the right to physically punish the employee ( The Servant ) . if a master gives correction to his servant , it ought to be with a proper instrument , such as a cudgel , etc . And if by accident the blow give death , this would be but manslaughter ( R v Keite , 1697 ) . 8 The English Courts originally saw workers as sub - human . The main tort ( civil wrong actionable by a court ) used by employers against unions is the tort of ' interference ' . Under this tort it is illegal for one party ( the union ) to interfere with the contractual relations of another party ( the employer ) . That is the union can not directly prevent or hinder the flow of goods or services from or to the employer . The tort of interference started with an opera singer in England who was induced to break her contract to sing at Covert Garden by the owner of Her Majesties theatre , the courts awarded damages in favour of Covert Garden . Through a string of decisions the courts developed this tort into a near prohibition on union industrial action . The courts have drawn a distinction between indirect interference ( strike action ) that would prevent an employer fulfilling his contracts with other parties and direct interference ( picketing ) . The Privi Council ( the highest court of the British Commonwealth ) found a limit to the tort of interference based on this distinction . Denning MR stated , Indirect interference is only unlawful if unlawful means are used . I went too far when I said in Daily Mirror Newspapers Ltd v Gardner ( 1968 ) 2 QB 762 , 782 that there was no difference between direct and indirect interference . On reading once again Thomas ( DC ) & Co . Ltd v Deakin ( 1952 ) Ch 6746 , with more time , I find there is a difference … The distinction must be maintained or else we should do away with the right to strike altogether … . A trade union official is only 9 What the distinction drawn by the Privy Council is saying is , that to strike and therefore indirectly to prevent the employer supplying his customers because he has no product to sell is lawful but to picket and thereby to directly prevent the employer from suppling his customers is unlawful . In 1975 the Supreme Court of South Australia accepted this limit to the tort of interference . 10 Thus it appears that strike action is not , in itself unlawful . Another tort that may be used by employers against unions is the tort of intimidation . This tort began with an English case Rookes v Barnard in 1964 . Essentially a union took industrial action in order to have a non - unionist dismissed in breach of a specific no - strike agreement . The court awarded damages to the dismissed employee . Morgan v Fry 1968 was a case similar to Rookes v Barnard but where there was no specific no - strike clause . The Privi Council held in this case that the tort of intimidation did not apply and refused to award damages against the union . Significantly the Court found that strike action is not a breach of the contract of employment . Denning MR stated , The truth is that neither employer or workman wish to take the drastic action of termination if it can be avoided . The men do not wish to leave their work forever . The employers do not wish to scatter their labour force to the four winds . Each side is therefore content to accept a strike notice of proper length as lawful . It is an implication read into the contract by the modern law as to trade disputes . If a strike takes place , the contract of employment is not terminated . It is suspended during the In my opinion , therefore , the defendants here did not use any unlawful means to achieve their aim . They were not guilty of intimidation : because they gave a strike notice of proper length . They were not guilty of conspiracy to use unlawful means : because they used non . They were not guilty of conspiracy to injure : because they acted honestly and sincerely in what they believed to be the true interest of their members . 11 ( Note that there is no concept of unfair dismissal within the common law . Notice of termination is generally all that is required . ) It may appear that given lawful notice that the tort of intimidation does not apply to industrial action but this need not always be the case . In Latham v Singleton 1981 the Supreme Court of NSW held that that Morgan v Fry did not apply 12 . Essentially the case involved strike action by local government workers against a fellow worker who had refused to pay a Broken Hill Barrier Industrial Council fine . There was no formal claim on the employer to dismiss the worker and the Court held that the strike action was not in furtherance of a trade dispute and therefore they were not bound to follow the Privi Council decision in Morgan v Fry . The Supreme Court of NSW proceeded to find twenty - seven trade unionists guilty of the tort of intimidation . The third tort that may be used against individual unionists is the tort of conspiracy to injure . If a group of people agree amongst themselves to cause damage to another party and they do so for predominantly malicious reasons then this tort may apply . Note that the tort does not require that the conspirators act illegally only that their motives be predominantly to injure the other party . If unions avoid personally attacking the employer they should not fall fowl of this tort . All the torts were used against the Confectioners Union in the Dollar Sweets case . The union placed a picket on Dollar Sweets P / L . The employers sort and were granted an injunction to end the picket on the grounds that the union had committed the torts of interference with contractual relations , intimidation , nuisance and conspiracy to injure . 13 The viewpoint of the Courts with regard to the penal powers was summed up by the Supreme Court of South Australia when hearing an appeal by the TWU over the granting of an injunction against the union for the tort of interference . Union members had refused to work with non - unionists . The union put pressure on the employer to require a sub - contractor not to hire non - union labour . The tort was that the union had interfered in the contract between the employer and the subcontractor to the detriment of the sub - contractor It would be regrettable if the trade unions should see the recent development of the tort of inducement to breach of contract as one more demonstration that the courts are ranged against them . They are not so arranged , but they have to take the laws as they find it . The truth is that here two important values come into collision . The first is the principle that the terms and conditions of employment should be fair and just and properly safeguarded and the organisation of the workers into trade unions is an essential weapon for this purpose 14 The Court went on to find against the Union . The trade practices act The Trade Practices Act 1974 prohibits union secondary boycotts . Strike action is a primary boycott against the employer . A secondary boycott would be in place if workers placed a ban on the customer or a supplier of their employer . Strictly speaking if strikers picket a site and stop the movement of goods in or out this is also a secondary boycott . The secondary boycott is against the third party receiving or delivering the goods to the site . The Trade Practices Act 1974 was originally aimed at anti - competitive behaviour by companies and therefore unions 15 After the Fraser amendments if a union supported fellow unionist with industrial action aimed not against their own employer but against the employer of their comrades in dispute ( a secondary boycott proper ) then the union could be fined . At present if the purpose of the picket is the furtherance of an industrial dispute with the picketers employer the action is exempt from prosecution under the Act . It should be remembered that the picket would still constitute a tort of interference against the employer and this would be actionable . The Meat Workers Union were fined under Trade unions are most powerful when they co - operate . The Trade Practices Act strikes at the heart of trade union unity , that is , it strikes at the heart of trade union power . Secondary boycotts are particularly effective in helping workers in weak bargaining positions win disputes . Secondary boycotts are a legitimate use of trade union power and the anti - union provisions of the Trade Practices Act should be repealed . The Australian conciliation and arbitration act 1904 Australia federated in 1901 shortly after the defeat of the trade union movement in the great strikes that took place during the 1890 ' s economic depression . The constitution gave the federal government the power to create tribunals for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes by conciliation and arbitration that extend beyond the limits of any one state . The theory was that arbitration was to replace industrial action and on this basis the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904 provided for compulsory arbitration but made both strikes and lockouts illegal . The prohibition on industrial action was repealed in 1930 and the insertion of bans clauses into awards became the main sanction against unions . Bans clauses are award clauses prohibiting industrial action , the disobeying of which amounts to an illegal act . During the 1950 ' s and 1960 ' s there were heavy fines imposed on unions , but unions often refused to pay the fines . In the late 1969 matters came to a head . Clarrie O ' Shea from the Tramways Union was jailed for refusing to pay fines , a general strike ensued that 16 but not their repeal . The workplace relations act 1996 The Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904 was repealed in 1984 and replaced by the Industrial Relations Act . This act was repealed by the Howard government in 1996 and replaced with the Workplace Relations Act . The Bans clause provisions have been removed from the Workplace Relations Act . The scheme of the Workplace Relations act is to provide for two streams of industrial regulation . An enterprise bargaining stream that provides for industrial action that is protected against tort prosecution ( Part VIA Division 2 and 3 ) and a stream outside of this dealing with industrial disputes and the setting of safety net wages and conditions . The Act provides for ' protected action ' . That is for a period of time ( the bargaining period ) the union may take industrial action against the employer for the purpose of negotiating an enterprise agreement and this action is protected against the tort of direct interference with contractual relations . Use of protected action has a number of significant restrictions . Firstly the Commission under Section170MN of the Act may remove the protected action if the union is deemed to be not bargaining genuinely [ subsection 170 MN ( 2 ) ] or causing significant damage to the economy [ subsection 170 MN ( 3 ) ] . During the life of a certified agreement all industrial action in pursuit of claims against the employer are illegal . And finally protected action does not apply to secondary boycotts . Part VIA mandates the arbitration of disputes that are notified to the Commission under Section 99 . But Section 127A allows the commission to declare industrial action illegal and thus subject to tort prosecution . The Commission has shown itself ready and willing to issue Section 127 orders . 17 The Workplace Relations Act guarantees the right of workers to join or not to join a union . Therefore closed shop agreements between employers and unions are illegal and thereby substantially weakening trade union power . The right to join a union is clearly founded on justice because of the need to redress the power imbalance between individual workers and the employer . The legislated right not to join a union is based on a totally different political principle , that of individual liberty . Respect for individual liberty to justify the undermining of trade union power . Respect for As we have seen governments have a duty to legislate for the good of all the people but the Penal Powers exist to restrict the rights of the many for the benefit of the few . Unions have the right to take whatever industrial action they choose , whenever they choose and for whatever industrial objective they choose . The Penal Powers are a totally illegitimate use of political power and should be repealed . Arbitration rights and collective bargaining Both employers and employees have a right to have any industrial dispute settled by compulsory arbitration . That is , both parties ( union or employer ) had the right to have industrial disputes settled by arbitration without the necessity of the other party agreeing to that arbitration . The only time industrial action should be illegal is when arbitration proceedings are on foot . The employers ' need the right to compulsory arbitration so as to protect them against abuse of power by strong unions . Unions need the right to compulsory arbitration to protect them from abuse of power by strong employers . The government requires the power to order compulsory arbitration so as to protect society from the economic damage of long disputes in key sectors of the economy . Under the conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904 unions and employers were granted by the Federal government the right to have disputes settle by compulsory arbitration . The arbitrated awards usually set minimum wages and conditions and the parties were free to bargain collectively about over - award wages and condition . Thus there has always been an element of collective bargaining in the arbitral system . The system of compulsory arbitration offered a number of advantages to unions . The system obviously required someone to represent workers , hence the legal recognition of the legitimacy of trade unions as part of the system and the exclusion of non - unionist from representation . Under the principle of comparative wage justice workers in weak bargaining positions were able to win improved wages and conditions through arbitral proceedings that would have been impossible by collective bargaining . Although arbitrated decisions have often gone against unions , on balance the arbitration system has been the great benefit to workers Under the Hawk Labor government the ALP / ACTU 18 Accord took the collective bargaining element out of the system totally so as to lower wages in the hope lowering unemployment . The losses to workers were supposed to be made up by improved government services and benefits . To what extent this was successful I will leave unanswered . What it did do was strangle shopfloor union democracy and organisation . The Keating government swang to the opposite extreme with the Industrial Relations Reform Act 1993 and not only allowed collect bargaining above the award but they also restricted the Commission from addressing the merits of the agreements and turned the Commission into a rubber stamp without the power to amend or reject industrial agreements . A critical difference between this enterprise bargaining regime and that which went before is that under the Reform Act the parties were allowed to negotiate away award conditions so long as they met a ' no disadvantage test ' , prior to this award conditions The Howard governments ' election brought further substantial restrictions on the activities of the Commission and Unions . The power of the commission to make awards was restricted to 20 allowable matters . Unions retained protected action and the right of entry and inspection but contracting out of awards through individual contracts called Australian Workplace Agreements was made legal . Disputes that can be settled in the field should be . The right to an arbitrated settlement is needed for the protection of all the parties and society . All restrictions on the right to arbitration and the arbitration process itself should be repealed . The limits to employer rights The majority of the Labor Movement has never been socialist in the sense of supporting the abolition of capitalism . If we accept the reality of capitalism then we must accept the existence of employer property rights . Paine believed that citizens have a duty to protect the rights of other citizens or risk losing their own rights . If trade unions are to stand for rights they must stand for the rights of all citizens including the employers . Employers claim , as part of general property rights , the right to manage their enterprises and this takes its ' legal form in the set of laws we have called managerial prerogative . It is obvious that managerial prerogative does not give the employers the right to act unfairly , unjustly or unreasonably . The Workplace Relations Act allows employers to take protected industrial action against employees ( lockouts ) . This only makes the power imbalance in favour of employers ' worse . This protection should be repealed . What needs to be done Unions must win their rights . The Trade Union Movement has lost 200,000 members in the four years since the ACTU released its ' blueprint for increased membership , unions @ work 19 . Present legislation forces unions to organise with one arm tied behind their back . The gaining of trade union rights is a necessary condition for the reversal of falling trade union membership . The union movement needs to put legislative reform at the top of its ' agenda . The issues are clear , repeal of the penal powers , restoration of all the Arbitration Commissions ' power , restoration of the rights of unions and employers to compulsory arbitration and the legal recognition of the rights of union members , delegates and officials . The struggle for union rights will be a battle for hearts and minds . It will be a battle fought out in the workplace , in the parliament and in the courts . It is a battle that The rights of man In ' The Rights of Man ' Paine does not advocate very many rights at all . He is a strong advocate for the right to vote , as it is the basis of all other rights . He says there are natural rights , which have their origin in the religious view of creation , these natural rights then provide the basis for rights such as equality and free speech . He does think the separation of Church and State is a good idea as politics corrupts religion , he supports the separation of powers and that ' s The significant of Paine ' s book for me was the realisation that rights exist in the mind of man and take their concrete form in legislation . The modern struggle for democratic rights began with the American and French revolutions in the eighteenth century . Universal suffrage was not won until the twentieth century . Australian unions are still to win their rights . And when these rights are won , unions will have to fight to keep them . You do not change bad laws by complying with them . You do not win rights by being passive , you win rights by fighting , by going to prison if need be , you win rights by being fearless . This is the message of Tom Geoffrey Beckman is an Australian Labor Party member and former trade union organiser . He has been working in the finance sector for the past four years .

http://eventingnation.com/pedigree-analysis-of-rolex-thoroughbreds/ | EN TRENDS : Badminton Carolina The Fork Red Hills Twin Rivers Pedigree Analysis of Rolex Thoroughbreds Boyd Martin and Shamwari 4 Awarded Grant to Luhmühlen Tredstep Ireland Presents Name That Bum ! By AJ Dyer on May 2 , 2014 11 : 27 am 11,248 views Michael Pollard and Mensa , an OTTB who won over $ 92,000 . Photo by Jenni Autry . As I chatted along in the EN Live Blog this weekend , I tried to include pedigrees of the Thoroughbreds competing at Rolex this weekend . Now that the event is over , let ’ s take a look at their breeding and see what they share . When I look at pedigrees of established horses , I tend to focus on the third and fourth generation ; that ’ s probably where most of the common names will be found and is sometimes known as the “ engine room ” of a pedigree . Conversely , looking at a pedigree of a young , prospect horse , I pay more attention to the first / second / third generation , which will be more responsible for phenotype and predict what the youngster will grow up like . In no particular order , here are the pedigrees I could find of the Thoroughbreds competing at Rolex this year . Some horses ’ information was unavailable from the Rolex entry list ( like Tsunami ) so I could not include them here . Click each horse ’ s name for their pedigree . Libby and Sir Rockstar . Photo by Jenni Autry . Libby Head and Sir Rockstar had a fantastic weekend at their first four - star , moving all the way up to finish 19th with a clear round on cross country and double clear in show jumping . This little powerhouse is only 15.1 hands , but he makes the big jumps look easy . Sir Rockstar is by Rockamundo , a son of Key To The Mint out of a Nijinsky daughter , and out of How Unusual ( by Great Sun out of a Jester mare ) . This is a pretty old pedigree , with three grandparents born in the ’ 60s , so you ’ ll see a lot of good names up quite close , namely , Key to the Mint ( Graustark / Ribot ) , Nijinsky / Northern Dancer , Bold Ruler , Tom Fool and No Trouble . Meghan O ’ Donoghue and Pirate . Photo by Alec Thayer . Pirate and Meghan O ’ Donoghue smoked the cross - country again this year . Pirate really has an ideal Thoroughbred gallop , allowing him to finish the course so easily and effortlessly with his ground - eating stride . That ’ s why we love TBs ! Pirate is by Pirate Stronghold ( a son of Seeking The Gold ) , out of Stars Heir ( a daughter of Risen Star , by Secretariat ) . He is inbred to Vice Regent 3Sx3D , both through a female line , and to Somethingroyal ( 4Dx5D ) . Inbreeding to a dam is fairly rare , so it ’ s often a good thing to find , especially when it ’ s a fantastic mare like the dam of Secretariat . Pirate shows some very familiar sire names down the fourth generation : Raise A Native , Buckpasser , Northern Dancer , Nodouble , Bold Ruler , His Majesty , Northern Dancer again and Sir Gaylord . Ca n ’ t get much better than that for an OTTB turned sport horse . Emily Beshear and Here ’ s To You . Photo by Jenni Autry . Here ’ s To You and Emily Beshear did n ’ t have a good weekend at Rolex this year , but “ Quincy ” is a gorgeous animal just waiting to fully prove himself at the four - star level . Here ’ s To You is by Will ’ s Way ( a son of Easy Goer , by Alydar ) and out of China Sky ( by Skywalker ) . Once again , a quick scan down the fourth generation sires gives a bunch more names you ’ ll recognize : Raise A Native , Buckpasser , Intentionally , Hoist The Flag , In Reality Intentionally ) , Damascus and Nodouble Rachel McDonough and Irish Rhythm . Photo by Jenni Autry . Irish Rhythm was another Rolex first - timer with Rachel McDonough who went double clear on cross - country . He is by Vice Chancellor Vice Regent , remember him from Pirate ’ s pedigree ? ) , and out of Dawnsari Dawn Flight ) . This is another old pedigree , with grandparents from the 60s . Irish Rhythm ’ s pedigree is completely free of inbreeding , with a lot of foreign influence ( CAN , GB , ITY , FR and ARG ) . His third and fourth generations include Northern Dancer , Grey Dawn / Herbager and Prince John . James Alliston and Parker . Photo by Jenni Autry . Parker and James Alliston are no strangers to eventing ’ s upper levels , and it was evident on cross country at Rolex . The pair blazed around the course , finishing on the fastest time of the day . With a couple rails in show jumping , they ended in 22nd place . Parker is by Marquetry Conquistador Cielo ) ; Marquetry is often known for splashy white markings , so Parker ’ s small star and socks is pretty tame . He is out of Hello Mom , by Caveat . You ’ ll also notice names like Mr . Prospector , Vice Regent , Cannonade , Raise A Native , Bold Commander , Northern Dancer , Never Bend , Bold Bidder , The Axe and Olympia . Colleen Rutledge and Shiraz . Photo by Jenni Autry . Shiraz put in a good effort in dressage and rocked around cross country double clear . While a strained shoulder kept him from completing the event , he has proven himself time and again at the four - star level . Shiraz is by Gallapiat Buckpasser ) , out of Bold Blossom Fountain of Gold ) . Going through his third and fourth generations , you ’ ll see Tom Fool , Sir Gaylord , Mr . Prospector , Boldnesian , War Admiral , Turn - To , Somethingroyal , My Babu , Raise A Native Bold Ruler . Are you starting to notice some trends yet ? Katie Frei and Houdini . Photo by Jenni Autry . Houdini was one of the younger Rolex first - timers , and he really impressed Karen O ’ Connor with his athleticism and type . Ridden by Katie Frei , Houdini was a bit green at times but looks like a super horse for the future . This 10 - year - old gelding is by Hot Rock Geiger Counter , a son of Mr . Prospector ) out of Nancy ’ s Star Big Sal , by In Reality ) . Houdini ’ s fourth generation includes Raise A Native ( twice ) , Citation , Nearctic , Intentionally and Riva Ridge Kaitlin Spurlock and Expedience . Photo by Jenni Autry . Expedience and Kaitlin Spurlock ’ s four - star debut was a little rough in dressage in the pouring rain , and then their good cross - country round was cut short when the mare suffered an unfortunate injury at the Head of the Lake . Seventeen - year - old “ Spedy ” has been a steady campaigner at the Advanced level and has earned a great retirement when her broken foot heals . She is by Ayes Turn Best Turn ) out of Promenador ( by Cannonade ) . Her third and fourth generations show sires like Turn - To , Bold Bidder , Royal Charger , Swaps , Native Dancer , Bold Ruler , Ribot and Promised Land . Lindsey Oaks and Enchantez . Photo by Jenni Autry . Enchantez and Lindsey Oaks put in a decent dressage test , and then things got a bit wild on cross country . After a glance off at the first water , Enchantez took aim at a Rolex sign and jumped right into the crowd ! Lindsey got him back on track to finish the event . Enchantez is by Devil ’ s Joy ( by Devil ’ s Bag ) , out of Class Reunion ( by General Assembly ) . Looking at the third and fourth generations : Halo , Chieftain , Secretariat , Tambourine , Hail to Reason , Herbager , Bold Ruler ( twice ) , Native Dancer , Princequillo and Sword Dancer . Enchantez has some good strength in his female relatives as well , including Ballade , Cosmah , Pocahontas , Somethingroyal Exclusive . Rachel Jurgens and Ziggy . Photo by Jenni Autry . Rachel Jurgens and 18 - year - old Ziggy had a brilliant trip on cross - country , going clear with just a few time penalties and finished 27th overall . Ziggy is by Ziggy ’ s Boy Danzig ) , and out of Berry Blush Foolish Pleasure ) . The engine of the pedigree includes Northern Dancer ( top and bottom ) , What A Pleasure , Nearctic , Double Jay , Bold Ruler Tom Fool . Kyle Carter and Madison Park . Photo by Jenni Autry . After recovering from a devastating injury to his hock , Madison Park made it all the way back to Rolex with Kyle Carter . He was looking super on the cross country until a fall at the Head of the Lake ended their weekend . Still , “ Parker ” has nothing left to prove at the four - star level . He is by Monaco Magic ( by Alymagic ) , out of Mistress of Mine Band Practice ) . The third and fourth generations include Alydar , Stop The Music , Raise A Native , Never Bend , Hail To Reason ( twice ) , Honest Pleasure Fleeting . Kate Chadderton and Collection Pass . Photo by Jenni Autry . Kate Chadderton and Collection Pass were n ’ t on their game this time on cross country , but this 12 - year - old Thoroughbred still has a big future . He also has some European influence through his sire , but the bottom half of his pedigree is classic American Thoroughbred . Collection Pass is by Collection Agent Dancing Master ( FR ) ) , and out of Winged Passage . His third generation features Buckfinder Majestic Light , and a good mare , Laughter . The fourth generation shows Native Dancer , Buckpasser , Majestic Prince Bold Ruler . Michael Pollard and Mensa G . Photo by Jenni Autry . Mensa G and Michael Pollard produced a stunning dressage test to lead Thursday ’ s group with a score of 49.5 . Mensa went clear around his second four - star cross country , picking up two time penalties . Unfortunately , rails and time moved him from top five to a 14th place finish . This 16 - year - old gelding is by Belmont winner Colonial Affair ( by Belmont winner Pleasant Colony ) . That ’ s some serious distance - breeding there ! Mensa is out of Fire The Secretary Stop The Music ) . Tell me if you ’ ve heard these names before — His Majesty , Nijinsky , Hail To Reason , Secretariat , Ribot , Northern Dancer , Raise A Native , Turn - To , Tom Fool , Bold Ruler Somethingroyal . I think he covers a lot of bases ! So we ’ ve seen a lot of common ancestors in these pedigrees of successful Thoroughbreds . To be sure , a lot of these names will be found in ANY Thoroughbred pedigree ; the fourth and fifth generations of many horses tend to run together , so U.S. - bred racehorses are sure to share a lot of sires . It ’ s rare as hen ’ s teeth nowadays to find a horse without Raise A Native or Northern Dancer somewhere . Still , studying pedigrees is a neat way to explore what makes these horses so successful — along with great training , management and super riders , of course .

http://evergoodfoods.com/know-sausage-types-differences/ | Do You Know All the Sausage Types and Their Differences ? Do You Know All the Sausage Types and Their Differences ? All foodies want to learn more about their favorite pastime . At Evergreen Fine Foods , we love to learn more and then pass on our knowledge . We are talking sausage today , and we have outlined all you need to know about the different types of sausage , as well as the major differences between them . So the next time you ’ re in the market for cooking some sausage in Los Angeles , refer to this guide before making your decision ! Sausage Categories You think all sausages are the same ? Not even close ! While it is true that all sausage is ground meat that is stuffed into a casing , there are still many differences in the way sausage is prepared that makes each sausage unique . But before we get into the different types of sausage , here are the 4 basic categories that are used to classify all sausages : Fresh sausage : This is the term applied to sausage that is basically ground meat that is cooked before serving . It is not placed in a traditional casing . Cooked and then smoked sausage : This is the term applied to sausage that has had cure added to it , and then it is smoked . Semi - dry sausage : This is the term applied to sausage that has had a portion of the moisture removed , but not nearly enough moisture to characterize it as dry sausage . Dry sausage : This is the term applied to sausage that has had up to 60 % of the moisture removed from the meat . Most dry sausage is characterized as “ Italian sausage . ” Types of Sausage Not only can you cook sausage in different ways to create different tastes and textures , but you can actually use different ingredients and meats to create the taste you want as well . If you live in Los Angeles , the sausages on this list may have crossed your path at some point : Andouille sausage : This type of sausage comes from France and is mostly associated with Cajun cooking . This sausage is spiced heavily ( and is therefore very spicy to the taste ) and is made out of ground pork . Bratwurst sausage : This type of sausage comes from Germany and is made from pork , or pork and veal , with a lot of seasonings added . Frankfurters : Frankfurters also come from Germany , and this type of sausage is where the term “ franks ” comes from when referring to hot dogs . Frankfurters come in all sizes and are made from beef , pork , or a combination of the two . Kielbasa : This type of sausage comes from Poland , and is primarily made from pork with a bit of beef added . Kielbasa is also known as Polish sausage . Pepperoni : Did n ’ t know that pepperoni is actually made and prepared in sausage form ? It sure is ! This type of sausage comes from Italy , and is a variety of salami . Salami : This type of sausage comes from Italy , and it is the general classification for dry sausage . It can be smoked and cooked or dried in a fermentation method to rid the meat of up to 60 % of its moisture . Vienna sausage : This type of sausage comes from Austria , and is very similar to a frankfurter or hot dog . The main differences are its smaller size and its softer texture . It is typically stored in a can with water . Weisswurst : This type of sausage comes from Germany and means “ white sausage . ” It is made of veal and pork . Typically , it is quite perishable and must be consumed quickly . A Word about Casings Casings are one of the more squeamish aspects of sausage preparation for many . What is a casing ? It is what the ground meat of the sausage is stuffed into to keep it formed into a link . Casings are traditionally made of sub - mucosa , or a layer of pig intestine . If the thought of using intestine when preparing sausage is a little too for much for you , try using artificial casings which are made of collagen or even plastic . | [

108 posts There are several ways to get the highlands and their skin 1 Be the first tracker in the zone after a update or a zone crash There are 8 highlands up and 90 of the time one has the HQ skin 2 Start Watchman Dexlins quest It will turn all of the highlands PHs into a tiny skeleton with normal tracking all of the respawns after that have a good chance to spawn a highland with the HQ skin Be aware that while there are over 25 PHs for highlands not all of them will drop the HQ skin 3 Most of the mobs that go near the guard tower can be a PH for highlands not all of them will spawn a highland that comes near the tower There is a PH and highland that roams east to west and back again at the north end of the zone There is one that goes north and south on the east side of the zone as well as one that does the same on the west side of the zone Being a bard I use a song to send them back to their spawn point to locate the right 4 Slaughter the zone take a friend or two with you and kill everything that moves if it isnt human Keep namers dead helps IE The Silver Griffon Grimfeather Zahal and Regis just to name a few Unfortunately for those of you that are good aligned two of the farmers are PHs too To handle that problem I let grizzlys build up they will kill the right farmers for you While the guards near the tower do not kill highlands several other mobs will Guard Shilster will kill them as well as Cordilla sp Normal but not rules I usually get one HQ skin per 4 hours of hunting I have seen two drop in an hour and then not another for over eight hours I have folks say that they have gotten three in an hour but in hundreds of hours farming the HQ skins for guildies I have never seen that Once on a low population day I killed everything but highlands I had over 25 of them up at once Not one dropped the skin While there seems to be a highland in just about every mobs spawn cycle I have I do not claim to know every in and out of the zone but 9 stacks of HQ Skins in 3 months leads me to believe I am on the right track anyway Good luck and good hunting to you Edited Mar 2nd 2015 726am by scuba Page top Best information yet Quote Mar 05 2013 at 816 AM Rating Decent shadowsedge Scholar 265 posts Every day I will log in and kill 5 to 8 of these As long as no one else is killing them there will be that many up The reason is simple Guard Bartley and Guard Stanard kill 5 to 8 of the Place Holders PHs as they wander by BUT they DO NOT kill the a highland lion They let them wander by This tell you 1 simple thing if it roams by the guard house kill it Also I noted random mobs spawning when I kill a highland lion so the PHs are not specific Even a hill giant is a PH Unfortunately Guard Bartley and Guard Stanard do not kill them giants so you will have to I used track sorted by alpha with Tracking Mastery 5 so I could view the largest possible area So far I got 8 pelts in the last 16 days Not bad that is a pelt a per 2 day for just logging in and killing

You say , ' Hail , Alexsa Whyte . ' Alexsa Whyte says ' Greetings traveler , my name is Alexsa and I am currently looking in to collecting samples from the strange beings that make up the Legion of Mata Muram ranks . Our initial encounters with them revealed that each one is innately resistant to certain types of weapons and weak against others . So , by order of Morden , we must gather skin samples from each race and examine it . Thanks to our tinkering sister , Vaifan , I now have a device which can readily examine samples . However , with news of our You say , ' Yes . ' Alexsa Whyte says ' Oh wonderful ! You do n ' t know how helpful this will be . Take this device . It is what we use to examine samples . When you defeat the Muramite , remove his tongue , place it inside of here and combine it with some distilling salts . Distilling slats can be found along the shores of Natimbi . Once you have combined the ingredients , it will give you a final sample which I will need you to return to me when you get the chance . Each time you hand a You receive Vaifan ' s Pocket Sampling Device . At this point , anything else said is replied to with : Alexsa Whyte says ' There is nothing more I can tell you , please take the item you received and get some samples for me . ' The item you ' re looking for is actually called Distilled Salts , and is a ground spawn on the beaches of Natimbi . Some known locations are : - 660 , - 545 + 1300 , - 625 + 1475 , - 900 + 957 , + 918 ( Northern shore ) - 1017 , - 1519 ( Western shore ) + 625 , - 1305 ( Eastern Shore ) - 909 , - 1474 ( Northern shore ) + 533 , + 665 ( Eastern shore ) Map File locations : P - 662.0898 , - 544.1769 , 215.0457 , 0 , 0 , 240 , 1 , GS : _Salt P 1298.1725 , - 627.1100 , 208.9470 , 0 , 0 , 240 , 1 , GS : _Salt P 1473.3293 , 900.2025 , 204.2386 , 0 , 0 , 240 , 1 , GS : _Salt P - 919.0884 , - 955.6981 , 214.2075 , 0 , 0 , 240 , 2 , GS_Salt P - 1399.7537 , - 281.1713 , 307.6973 , 0 , 0 , 240 , 2 , GS_Salt You have to gather tongues from several different types of monsters from the Gates of Discord and combine them in the device with the salts to craft " A XXXX Sample , " where " XXXX " is replaced by the type of creature the tongue came from . Handing these samples in to Alexsa gives you information about the strengths and weaknesses of that type of creature . A Kyv Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' Ah yes , the kyv . These stealthy beings are quite elusive . The fact that you were able to recover a sample from one of them is quite an accomplishment . Now , let ' s see . . . it appears that the kyv have no noticeable weapon weaknesses or resistances , but we do know they have the ability to deflect incoming arrows and thrown objects . It would seem that they are also resistant to poison based incantations , and quite weak to magic based spells . You ' re doing great A Mastruq Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' Great sample ! It looks like this was taken from a being with a thickened hide . This particular being is called a mastruq and seems to be quite resistant to blunt objects , but an arrow or slashing weapon would get through that hide quite easily . Because of their thick hides cold based elemental magic would be quite ineffective while the opposite would hold true for fire magic . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you A Noc Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' Looks like this came from the body of the race of beings called the noc . While their bony frames make them quite weak against crushing damage , their plated chests protect any major organs , reducing the effectiveness of arrows or slashing weapons . It would appear that their flesh is diseased which makes them resistant to disease based spells but their thin skin means that cold might be quite affective against them . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me A Ratuk Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' This looks like a sample from the brutish ra ' tuk . These large beasts wield their axes adeptly and seem to have no major weaknesses save magical based spells . Because of their strange body makeup magic tends to affect them more then other spell types . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' An Aneuk Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' These odd - looking floating beings interest me the most . They seem to be quite adept with magic making them strong against magical incantations . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' An Ikaav Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' These snakelike beings are very deadly . The scales on their lower body are all but impervious to slashing weapons , but a well - placed arrow could do some serious damage . They are masters of magical energy making their defenses against such spells very good . However they do seem to be weak against elemental magic like cold . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' An Ixt Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' These centaur - like beings are quite bloodthirsty . They appear to be bred for fighting . Their fur covered lower half makes them very resistant to the element of cold but while that fur can protect them from one element it also makes them very vulnerable to fire . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' An Ukun Sample Alexsa Whyte says ' An excellent find here ! It appears that this was retrieved from one of the beings called an ukun . They have frail bodies but their blood is a deadly poison . This would imply that they are probably very resistant to poison . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' Once you ' ve collected the eight samples : Alexsa Whyte says ' Now that I have all of the basic samples I can add all of my research into this tome and give it to you . ' Alexsa Whyte says ' While we still need samples from both the force commander and his lieutenant , what you have given me so far warrants a reward of some kind . When you have recovered samples from both of the additional races I mentioned I will be able to reward you with something much better . ' At this point you receive Alexsa ' s Research Notes , a book containing the information given to you thus far . Zun ' muram Sample Alexsa asks for the Tongue of the Zun ' muram , which drops off various Zun Murams in Ferubi , Txevu , and Tacvi . Alexsa Whyte says ' A two - headed beast built for destruction . This creature is quite powerful , as I am sure you found out when you met it . While it does not appear to have any resistances or weaknesses , this sample should reveal some more information about its particular race . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples left to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can . ' Tunat ' Muram Sample You also need a Tongue of the Tunat ' muram , which drops off the boss of Tacvi and all of Discord : Tunat Muram Cuu Vauax . Alexsa White says ' This is unbelievable , you retrieved a sample from the army ' s leader and you still live ? You are truly a great adventurer . I must get this sample to our mages quickly . We must do some extended testing as we have not had any information on him till now . You ' re doing great , but there are more samples to be found . Please get them to me as soon as you can .

Mastruq ( Qimini ) - the temple where the druid 2.0 mob is located is infested with mastruq , plus two static kyvs . Noc ( Natimbi ) - these things are found in abundant numbers throughout GOD . Natimbi is the easiest place to farm their tongues . Ratuk ( Riwwi ) - the three buildings in the middle of the zone is infested with ratuk . They ' ve got very short aggro radii , so they ' re single - pullable . Anuek ( Riwwi ) - the bleachers / stands in the arena spawn anuek mobs . Clear the other trash mobs on the bleachers to spawn them . Ukun ( Qimini ) - there ' s a pen with several cages holding ukun near the Natimbi zone - in . Ixt ( Kod ' Taz ) - three ixt always spawn and circle the Summoner ' s Ring in KT . Ikaav ( Kod ' Taz ) - this is undoubtedly the hardest tongue to get . The best two places in KT to farm their tongues are the north temple and the Ikkinz 3 temple .

Salts in Natimbi Jan 28 2007 10 : 26 PM Ozumenia 19 posts To clear up some confusion on the LOC ' s to the 3 Salts in Natimbi , the exact locations are : Salt # 1 is - 896 - 1471 Salt # 2 is + 624 - 1298 Salt # 3 is + 537 + 662 These Salts are on a 1 hour timer of respawn . Your best bet is to do the salts early while you are collecting the tongues , or you ' ll be stuck like me waiting aimlessly in Natimbi for 4 hours collecting the 10 salts . anuek tounge Oct 13 2006 5 : 17 PM TBurns 5 posts Anuek tounge drops in RiWi , just clear the arena area to spawn more than just offical .

Ideal place to camp the Aneuk tongue one might think . But after roughly 40 - 50 clearings and no tongue , I ' m starting to wonder Lol . Have gotten multiple ukun , kyv , mastruq and ra ' tuk tongues ( all of the other mobs that spawn along the outside there ) , but not a single Aneuk tongue . Could someone confirm whether they ' ve seen one drop from that area ? I ' m curious to think if , because there are so many easily accessed Aneuk mobs there , it was taken off their loot table . However , loot tables are consistent zonewide , so I guess that theory does n ' t hold up . Can anyone verify that they ' d gotten an aneuk tongue from KodTaz zone ?

Rhand of Quel Tongues Jul 29 2005 8 : 57 AM Adainn 13 posts All tongues drop from the model they correspond to anywhere in GoD . However , ive never seen a tongue drop from Qvic+ excluding the zun and tunat tongue . Also the drop rate for the tongue appears to be the same in every zone where they can drop . It took me 12 days at 8 - 15 hours a day to collect all of them from Kod ' Taz . Just never give up and you can eventually get all the tongues . The aneuk tongue took 25 % of my total time to get .

I have all but 2 tongues , Tunat and Ikaav . I ' ve been soloing in KT for the Ikaav Tongue since May - the roamer that goes round and round , but no luck . Could some of you PLEASE tell me where you found your Ikaav tongue along with where in the zone the MOB was . I am starting to think that even though I ' ve been killing Captors Detainers , etc , that you need to kill them in a certain place , as well . RE : Can not Find Ikaav Tongue Jul 25 2005 6 : 38 AM Hodhr 14 posts The Ikaav tongue has got to be the worst tongue to get . Took me 3 - 4 hours a day , for week and a half , maybe two weeks , to get it . I did a 4 mob pattern where Ikaav always spawn every round . Go to temple for the tri - fates , when you go to the quest lady , that small outside left temple there is a Ikaav guarding the front , that ' s number one . Invise up and head west to next temples , think it ' s for trial 1 . Front mini temple has a Ixt and Ikaav that always spawn out front , that ' s the second Ikaav . Invise and head south again to the elbow and east to last set of temples . Set up behind the quest cat in the rocks . Look between the outside mini temple and the main temple . There are two Ikaav ' s here , and they are always Ikaav ' s . These are the last two that I killed in my rotation . I did these with a cleric box , and my paladin main . Placate all mobs in area , then pull the one you want . I happened to get the Ikaav tongue at this last temple . All told , I ' d guess around 300 Ikaavs were slaughtored to finish this quest . for the record Jul 21 2005 4 : 40 PM selligonir The tunaat tongue drops every time he is killed . Tokinbear Its too hard Jun 28 2005 9 : 27 AM KANDIMANN 75 posts Simply put , this quest needs to be fixed . Its too much work and to many rare drops to complete . I have unfortunately taken on the task of doing this quest and have found 1 tongue after 2 days and hundreds of mobs . What aggravates me is that in ideal circumstances a person would pick up the tongues as they go thru GoD progression . But it doesnt make sense to do that because you wont be assured of a Tunat drop . It only makes sense to get the drop from Tunat first before you start anything . But once at this stage its a long term frustrating experience of getting a tongue drop when there are so many other neck / waist pieces . This is a terrible quest at this stage . If you like the item , slap yourself and snap out of it . dont waste your time . This Tunat and zun muram tongue is going to spend a long time in my bank . I ' m sure i will eventually destroy it long before im ever close to completing this quest . Its too hard Sep 06 2006 9 : 31 PM Like all quests , it ' s up to you to evaluate whether you fell the dificulty is worth the reward . If you feel it ' s too much work then for you it is . If you feel it is worth the effort then it probably is ( unless you get something better first ) . My guild is only as far as Qvic , but I have managed to get all 8 trash tongues for 2 of my charactors already . Most of them came while going about my business or on raids since most people did n ' t care about them . I did spend some of my time camping tongues , but most dropped when I was n ' t trying . ( last one came in Qvic from an Ikaav while clearing for M ' sha ' s ) Since they can be handed in as you get them ( after combining with salt ) , they take do n ' t take up bank space either so that ' s 1 less concern . IMO if you are already in Tacvi and start with the Tunat one then you are creating a lot of work down the line for yourself . However , if you start handing in what drops along the way then by teh time you reach Tacvi you will have most of them done . RE : Its too hard Jul 21 2005 1 : 00 PM Douncerr 125 posts I think this quest is just fine , I just finished it and it made me feel awsome to know i was able to finish something like this almost all on my own . If you dont want to put the time and effort into finding the tongues then you shouldnt be trying this quest . Items like this shouldnt just be handed to you , you need to earn them . They did make this quest easier by far a while ago , now you do n ' t have to go to ferubi to get the zun tongue , they drop from the zun ' s in tacvi but are rare , usualy get 1 every instanced or so . I do n ' t know about you but it is quests like this and BiC that keep me interested in the game , it gives me more of a challange and it makes you feel great when you finish .

OK , not every class can solo these zones , but it * is * doable to finish this quest , especially when you and your helpers are at a stage where you can finish GoD as a whole , just needs a bit of patience and determination . . . Saraban Luvanir Plainswalker for Darkwind - Antonius Bayle Jun 30 2005 8 : 38 PM KANDIMANN 75 posts well , I still have to say , 3 weeks is absurd . I still note that you dont have neck on magelo . so im assuming its taking you a while too finish . Our guild is done with GoD cept tacvi so its a rare instance we hunt there . But even still its a long process when u do have help . 3 weeks is still unreasonable . Jul 01 2005 2 : 25 AM Saraban Sage 672 posts It ' s a belt too , Kandi and i ' m using it in that slot . And I would n ' t consider 3 weeks of hunting unreasonable for an item with every known modifier in the game . . . Saraban Luvanir Plainswalker for Darkwind - Antonius Bayle Jul 03 2005 6 : 30 AM oops , forgot to check , heh waist item . The reason i say this task is not reasonable is because tunat is prolly going to drop it each kill . Its more than likely that everyone in your guild that is working on this quest will get the item first . When it filters down to those who are n ' t working on this item , then accomplishing this quest is hard . 3weeks ( your mileage may vary ) is unreasonable because there is a rare instance that you will be in GoD zone . There are many other quests , progression , assists to guildies , epics , trials , and so on that can be accomplished in 3 weeks . The rarity of such a drop will make your opportunities to get this unlikely . Its not often you can get a group in KT nowadays . That being said . It doesnt make sense during progression to do the quest because you can not be assured of a tunat drop or even a kill . If youre guild is in tacvi nowadays , it is very unlikely theyre doing anything else in GoD . I ' ve done tradeskill earring , epics , shard hunting , old vp keys and so on . This quest for an item that is not considerably better than other upgrades and the amount of time it takes to accomplish isnt reasonable . your better off grabbing the first waist / neck upgrade in tacvi and ignore the time youre going to spend on this quest . these modifiers arent very much benefit even if u add them all together . 1 : 03 PM Douncerr 125 posts Why not do the quest now and get part of it over with while your guild is killing ikkinz trials or whatever ? It is n ' t like you have to hold onto all of the tongues , just get some salt which is ground spawned in natimbi , go to abysmal sea and get a container and combine them together then turn it in , nothing at all and takes 5 minuits tops . If anything you will be done up to the part when your guild kills tunat instead of rushing arround looking for all of the tongues .

You can kill a majority of the mobs with a group of 60 ' s for this quest and then the last mob is a lvl 85 mob ? Once , you get to the point of raiding an 85 mob why would you want this piece . RE : sorry confused Jun 15 2005 2 : 14 AM Quote : Once , you get to the point of raiding an 85 mob why would you want this piece . Well . . I personally could n ' t resist a 285 HP / Mana - Belt with 23 % MP and every known modifier in the game . People in the high end may be spoiled , but not * that * spoiled : p But one point of you said is definitely true - if you do this quest in the order it is revealed by Alexsa there ' s a giant gap in difficulty between the basic tongues ( soloable for some ) and the Zun ' Muram and Tunat ' Muram tongues ( raid drops from Txevu / Tacvi ) . And while it * is * nice and useful to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents , a little token of appreciation would have been nice as intermediate reward with the book . . .

I say most because it has been awhile since I have used this effect and compared it against other spells currently available in the game .

Will test it out on our next LDoN and see if I can tell anything from actual use , what it does , or how the net / end effect of it , works . Was hoping somebody would post , but seeing that they have n ' t , I will , and I will post my findings . Based on actual real game use , not speculation , or spdat sniffing . We have levelled as a trio , solely in LDoN ' s , from 20 to 32 . I have those 12 levels of NOT having this , to compare fighting and the effects of this ability . Same group > Berzerker , Mage , and Beastlord trio . Same gear on all of us , so no changes there . A few LDoN ' s should be a good enough evaluation period . I ' ll let you know what I find .

Here are my findings : These effects are added to everyone in the group . Adds : + 13 to ATK Adds : ? ? % ( small amount ) of Haste My guess on the haste ( just observing , not doing time tests , and DMG comparisons or anything scientific ) is an extra 10 - 20pct haste . Spum had alacrity on him , and was wearing a sibilisian cloak ( 26pct haste ) . When activated , there was a slight increase in the number of swings he was doing , compared to without it . Nothing dramatic , but it was noticeable . No bard was in the group , so not sure if it treated like a bard haste song or not . But he did have spell haste on him , AND have a haste item on , and it DID speed up the swings ( he uses Argent Defender ) . Looking at the upgrades to this , the improvements seem to be just the + ATK rating . Haste could scale up with level , but knowing SoE , no way they do that .

http://everydayfeminism.com/2013/07/intentions-dont-really-matter/ | everyday feminism Intent vs . Impact : Why Your Intentions Do n ’ t Really Matter July 30 , 2013 by Jamie Utt Source : Getty Images Imagine for a moment that you ’ re standing with your friends in a park , enjoying a nice summer day . You do n ’ t know me , but I walk right up to you holding a Frisbee . I wind up – and throw the disc right into your face . Understandably , you are indignant . Through a bloody nose , you use a few choice words to ask me what the hell I thought I was doing . And my response ? “ Oh , I did n ’ t mean to hit you ! That was never my intent ! I was simply trying to throw the Frisbee to my friend over there ! ” Visibly upset , you demand an apology . But I refuse . Or worse , I offer an apology that sounds like “ I ’ m sorry your face got in the way of my Frisbee ! I never intended to hit you . ” Sound absurd ? Sound infuriating enough to give me a well - deserved Frisbee upside the head ? Yeah . So why is this same thing happening all of the time when it comes to the intersection of our identities and oppressions or privileges ? Intent v . Impact From Paula Deen to Alec Baldwin to your annoying , bigoted uncle or friend , we hear it over and over again : “ I never meant any harm … ” “ It was never my intent … ” “ I am not a racist … ” “ I am not a homophobe … ” “ I ’ m not a sexist … ” I can not tell you how often I ’ ve seen people attempt to deflect criticism about their oppressive language or actions by making the conversation about their intent At what point does the “ intent ” conversation stop mattering so that we can step back and look at impact After all , in the end , what does the intent of our action really matter if our actions have the impact of furthering the marginalization or oppression of those around us ? In some ways , this is a simple lesson of relationships . If I say something that hurts my partner , it does n ’ t much matter whether I intended the statement to mean something else – because my partner is hurting . I need to listen to how my language hurt my partner . I need to apologize . And then I need to reflect and empathize to the best of my ability so I do n ’ t do it again . But when we ’ re dealing with the ways in which our identities intersect with those around us – and , in turn , the ways our privileges and our experiences of marginalization and oppression intersect – this lesson becomes something much larger and more profound . This becomes a lesson of justice What we need to realize is that when it comes to people ’ s lives and identities , the impact of our actions can be profound and wide - reaching . And that ’ s far more important than the question of our intent . We need to ask ourselves what might be or might have been the impact of our actions or words . And we need to step back and listen when we are being told that the impact of our actions is out of step with our intents or our perceptions of self . Identity Privilege and Intent For people of identity privilege , this is where listening becomes vitally important , for our privilege can often shield us from understanding the impact of our actions . After all , as a person of privilege , I can never fully understand the ways in which oppressive acts or language impact those around me . What I surely can do is listen with every intent to understand , and I can work to change my behavior . Because what we need to understand is that making the conversation about intent is inherently a privileged action . The reason ? It ensures that you and your identity ( and intent ) stay at the center of any conversation and action while the impact of your action or words on those around you is marginalized . So if someone ever tells you to “ check your privilege , ” what they may very well mean is : “ Stop centering your experience and identity in the conversation by making this about the intent of your actions instead of their impact . ” That is : Not everything is about you . “ What They Did ” vs . “ What They Are ” The incredible Ill Doctrine puts it well when he explains the difference between the “ What They Did ” conversation and the “ What They Are ” conversation , which you can watch here In essence , the “ intent ” conversation is one about “ what they are . ” Because if someone intended their action to be hurtful and racist / sexist / transphobic / pickyourpoison , then they must inherently be racist / sexist / transphobic / pickyourpoison . On the other hand , the “ impact ” conversation is one about “ what they did . ” For you , it takes the person who said or did the hurtful thing out of the center and places the person who was hurt in the center . It ensures that the conversation is about how “ what they did ” hurts other people and further marginalizes or oppresses people . And it ’ s important for people to understand the difference . Just because you did something sexist does n ’ t mean that you are sexist . Just because you said something racist does n ’ t mean that you are racist . When your actions are called into question , it ’ s important to recognize that that ’ s all that is being called into question – your actions , not your overall character . Listen . Reflect . Apologize . Do Better . It does n ’ t matter whether we , deep down , believe ourselves to be __________ - ist or whether we intended our actions to be hurtful or _________ - ist . It . Doesn ’ t . Matter . If the impact of our actions is the furthering of oppression , then that ’ s all that matters . So we need to listen , reflect , apologize , and work to do better in the future . What does that look like ? Well , to start , we can actually apologize . I do n ’ t know about you , but I am sick of hearing the “ “ I am sorry your face got in the way of my Frisbee ! I never intended to hit you ” apologies . Whether it ’ s Paula Deen weeping on TV or Alec Baldwin asking us to simply trust that he ’ s not a “ homophobe , ” those are not apologies That ’ s why I was incredibly inspired and relieved to see a major organization do it well when Kickstarter apologized and took full responsibility for their role in funding a creepy , rapey seduction guide They apologized earnestly and accepted the role they played in something really terrible . hey pledged to never allow projects like this one to be funded in the future . And then they donated $ 25,000 to RAINN . At the interpersonal level , we can take a cue from Kickstarter . When we are told that the impact of our action , inaction , or words is hurtful and furthers oppression , we can start by apologizing without any caveats . From there , we can spend the time to reflect in hopes of gaining at least some understanding ( however marginal ) of the harmful impact . And we can do our best to move forward by acting more accountably . Jamie Utt is a Contributing Writer at Everyday Feminism .

http://everydayfeminism.com/2014/02/5-reasons-no-children/ | everyday feminism 5 Reasons Why It ’ s Okay If You Do n ’ t Want Children February 14 , 2014 by Maddie McClouskey A person holding their fingers in an X toward the camera . Source : Wikihow When it comes up in conversation , people are shocked by my choice . People who have or want children sometimes seem offended by it . Others brush it off , saying I ’ ll change my mind someday . Maybe it ’ s surprising that I do n ’ t want to start a family – because I am a woman who does n ’ t hate children . In fact , I ’ ve worked with children for years , and I ’ d like to think I ’ m fairly good at it . I have a tendency to nurture others and cater to their needs . Not to mention , I present myself in a relatively feminine way , which makes people assume I am straight ( spoiler alert : I ’ m not ! ) and could bear a child whenever I feel like it ( also a faulty assumption ) . My experience and personality make it easy to assume that I could be a mother one day . There are a handful of assumptions people may make when you say that you do n ’ t plan on starting a family , especially if you are a woman . Some may think you ’ re immaturely trying to be unique . Others may believe that some experience “ ruined ” children for you . And there will be people who assume you are a callous kid - hater and / or a workaholic . I do n ’ t know if an immature person going against the grain for shits and giggles should have a kid just yet anyway . And if someone had an experience that led them to a decision not to have children , why anyone fault that ? Uhh , if someone hates kids , they should n ’ t raise kids . Also , commitment to work is n ’ t an evil thing . Even the often misguided assumptions made about non - parents have validity . The truth is , if you do n ’ t want to have children for any reason , it ’ s valid ! The more I think about it , the statement “ I do n ’ t want to ” is a valid reason in and of itself . Raising children that you did n ’ t want in the first place is an unhappy situation for everyone . If you do n ’ t want to have children , you are not wrong , and you are not alone . Here are five more reasons why it is completely okay to decide not to become a parent : 1 . Kids Are Expensive In the first year alone , a parent can spend thousands of dollars as the sole provider in a small person ’ s life . As years go by , diapers and bottles are replaced with school supplies and saving for higher education , if possible . It adds up . There ’ s a reason tax forms consider children “ dependents . For at least eighteen years ( unless the they become legally emancipated ) , children rely on their parents for all their needs . That does n ’ t even include the fun , millenial trend of graduating college then moving back home with the parents . Talk about a huge emotional and financial responsibility ! Between the expense and today ’ s economy , raising children is far from cheap . For some , it is flat - out unaffordable . I am in awe of all parents who make it work . Child - rearing may not be how you want to spend your money . That is understandable . Maybe you do n ’ t want to bring new people into your family if you ca n ’ t afford to support them . That reasoning is beneficial to both you and a potential child , should you choose to have one . Money is personal . Decisions regarding our bodies and lives should be equally personal . You choose how you spend your money . You choose what goes on with your body . You choose what you can in your way of life . 2 . Complications Happen Whenever my elders question why I do not want to have children , I think that they are conveniently ignoring some facts of life . Some people can not physically have children , have a medical history of reproductive health issues , and / or have miscarried . Fertility treatments are not 100 % guaranteed to work , and they are expensive . You know what else is super - expensive ? Hiring a surrogate . Also , an idea often forgotten when it comes to baby - making : Not everyone has penis - in - vagina sex ! As a cisgender lesbian in a relationship with another cisgender woman , my sex life does n ’ t include pregnancy prevention . I literally can not have an “ Oops Baby . In fact , if I wanted to have a child physically or through adoption , it would be a “ Plan It Out and Lawyer Up Baby . ” Speaking of adoption , the U.S. process of application , home study , approval , matching , placement , and legalization is arduous for everyone , especially marginalized groups . There are so many physiological , financial , and legal obstacles that can occur before a child enters a family . Some people know the risks and start families anyway , which speaks to their commitment . If it ’ s not for you , though , that ’ s absolutely okay . 3 . You Have to Work It Out Nothing is impossible , but certain careers and lifestyles present even more challenges to families . Parents who work in volatile job markets risk raising children while unemployed for stretches of time , or they uproot their families to relocate to the newest gig . Parents whose jobs require travel have to rely heavily on their spouses , family , friends , and / or childcare to fill in for them during periods of absence . If two parents live far away from each other , but both want to be involved in their children ’ s lives , it requires a lot of planning , compromise , and sometimes frequent - flyer miles . The logistics of these situations are stressful from an adult perspective , and that ’ s before factoring in how the child could feel . As I said before , nothing is impossible . There are plenty of families who raise healthy , well - adjusted children , even in more difficult circumstances . Feminism is about choice . All people should have the choice to enter the workforce in the industry of their choosing . All people should have the choice to be parents if that is what they want . Choosing not to have children is a completely valid option as well . 4 . ‘ Parent ’ Is a Noun and a Verb Having a child is not the same thing as parenting , which is pretty much why the term “ deadbeat dad ” was coined in the first place . Obviously , gender does not determine whether or not someone will be actively involved in their child ’ s life . Only an individual can make that decision to parent , not just passively be a parent . It is both magical and terrifying to realize that raising a child ultimately means raising a person . Parents ’ actions ( or inaction ) become their children ’ s memories . Some people welcome that pressure . Some people do n ’ t . Keeping a kid alive and safe is one thing . Guiding them through life in the outside world is another task entirely . To say that parenting requires extreme effort would be an understatement . The idea of shaping a young person ’ s past , present , and future is scary , to say the least . If you choose not to face that fear , I do n ’ t blame you . 5 . Sacrifice Should Not Be Taken Lightly I am grateful to my parents . I know what they went through to raise me was incredibly difficult . This applies to all parents . If parenting were easy , everyone would be good at it . Unfortunately , this is not the case . Exceptional parents deserve immense praise and respect . Parenting requires selflessness . If someone does not want to be selfless , they probably do not and should not want to start a family . It does n ’ t make you a bad person if you choose not to make an optional sacrifice . This is n ’ t a slight to parenthood . I commend the people who choose to give up so much for another life . I would never trivialize what parents do by implying that just anyone could do it , let alone do it well . If you feel like parenthood is an immense sacrifice that will test your will , wallet , schedule , and patience , you are definitely not alone . This is why starting a family is such a huge decision . You are by no means obligated to compromise your life as you know it by having children . Nobody is forcing you to start a family , even though the media , your family , and your social media feeds may make you feel that way sometimes . * * * As I ’ ve mentioned before , I have deep respect for involved parents . Raising children is one small , but poignant way to impact the next generation of adults . That is no small task . Part of the reason why I respect parents so much is because I have felt immense pressure to at least think about becoming a mother . And I ’ m going to go out on a limb here and say this pressure probably stems from the fact that I am a woman . Here ’ s my feminist stink on that : Women do not need to be mothers to have worth . To imply that motherhood is intrinsic to the female experience is limiting at best . The idea of parenthood as a requirement to a fulfilled life contributes to the pressure to “ Have it All . ” “ Having it all ” does n ’ t have to mean “ having children . ” That ’ s not realistic for everyone . My wants and needs in life are different than yours , and yours are different from those of others . You do n ’ t have to check off society ’ s rigid boxes to thrive . My lesbian identity does n ’ t stop people from pushing the idea of motherhood onto me , either . Because I happen to live in a liberal state where I can get same - sex - married , there still lies a lingering expectation to “ give my mother grandchildren . ” I ’ m pretty sure that logic is counterintuitive to the marriage equality movement , but that ’ s a story for another day . Regardless of gender or orientation , major life decisions should not be dictated by familial or societal pressures alone . What is right for other people may not be your path , and there is nothing wrong with that . Maddie McClouskey is a Contributing Writer for Everyday Feminism .

Source : CBS Charlotte Angry Americans have a lot to say about welfare . Some of it ’ s questionable , most of it ’ s derogatory , and almost all of it is incorrect . There are millions of people who currently receive government assistance in our country . To some Americans , this rings alarm bells . But how much do they really know about what welfare actually is , or about the people who need it ? First of all , many people would be surprised to discover that there is no one program called “ welfare . ” The word “ welfare ” refers to a number of different government assistance programs that provide help to Americans struggling with poverty in distinct ways . SNAP / food stamps , unemployment insurance , Medicaid , Temporary Assistance for Need Families ( TANF ) , Women , Infants and Children ( WIC ) , tax credits for working families , and Social Security are just a few programs under the welfare umbrella . Despite how commonly used these programs are , most people are unaware of how their daily lives are affected by government assistance . In fact , many people who complain the most about the “ evils ” of welfare are actually receiving it themselves – in some form or another . They just do n ’ t realize it , because they do n ’ t know what welfare really entails . Confusion about welfare is not a new thing . Stereotypes about recipients have played a crucial part in politics and propaganda for decades , fueled by class warfare and racist ideology . And the only real way to get folks to stop spreading misinformation is to educate them . Let ’ s take a look at some of the most popular welfare stereotypes and discover just how wrong they are . Myth # 1 : Welfare Payments Are Too High In reality , welfare benefits are modest at best , despite the continual attacks by conservative politicians who try , year after year , to reduce them . Take the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ) , formerly known as food stamps : The average benefit per person is $ 1.50 per meal . Can you imagine trying to feed yourself adequately – not to mention healthily – on such an small amount of money ? Similar to SNAP , most other government assistance programs seek to provide only the barest minimum amount of help that an individual or family needs to survive . Myth # 2 : Welfare Recipients Are Lazy The idea that most people on welfare are able - bodied adults who are just too lazy to get a job and make an honest living is utterly false . Most benefit programs require recipients to work in order to collect . Take Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ( TANF ) , for example . Single parents receiving this grant must work at least 30 hours per week in order to be eligible , and two - parent families must work between 35 and 50 hours a week . The fact is , blue - collar wages in America are simply not high enough to support workers in today ’ s economy . The wages paid by many large employers ( including giants like Wal - Mart ) are so low that their full - time employees are eligible for welfare . You heard that right : People are working full - time to support their families , paying their fair share of taxes , but are so underpaid that they ca n ’ t get by without relying on government assistance . This is partly due to the disturbing fact that the federal minimum wage has not been increased in over five years ( despite the incessantly rising cost of living in our country ) and partly due to voracious corporate greed . And furthermore , half of all food stamp recipients are children . More than 82 % of all food stamp money goes to households that include children , elderly people , or people with disabilities . These are people who legally or physically can not work and live at the mercy of the system . So where are all of these able - bodied lazy adults who are luxuriating off of their benefits ? They are a fabrication . Most people on welfare are hardworking , taxpaying citizens , just like the rest of us . Or they are impoverished children , elders , or folks with disabilities But it ’ s a lot easier for welfare critics to take help away from people that they imagine are lazy and deceitful , so that false image lives on . Myth # 3 : Undocumented Immigrants Are All on Welfare Nope . Absolutely not . In fact , undocumented immigrants in the US are not eligible for any benefits except emergency Medicaid ( in the case that they are severely injured or sick ) . According to the Social Security Administration , about half to three - quarters of undocumented immigrants pay federal , state , and local taxes , including billions in Social Security taxes for benefits that they will never see a penny of . Yes , their kids can attend public schools for free , but undocumented immigrants are actually contributing more to the American economy than they take away – and they have no access to food stamps or other welfare programs , despite being one of the lowest - paid groups in the nation . Myth # 4 : People Use Welfare to Support Their Drug Habits Federal government research tells us that the population of welfare receivers on drugs is basically the same as that of the American population in general – in some cases , even lower Recent drug testing results from individual states also prove the falseness of this widely accepted myth . In July 2014 , Tennessee began testing their welfare applicants , resulting in a whopping 1 - in - 800 people testing positive for illegal drugs . That ’ s less than 1 % . In Florida , four months of drug testing revealed that only 2.6 % of applicants tested positive ( in contrast , 8 % of Florida ’ s non - welfare receiving population regularly test positive for drugs ) . Research proves time and time again that mandated drug testing costs taxpayers much more money than it saves . And since welfare naysayers never get the results that they want from the tests , you would think they would give up with this tired tactic already . Plus , myths about people who do use drugs are terribly misguided and harmful . Myth # 5 : The ‘ Welfare Queen ’ Is Hoodwinking Us All Ronald Reagan once made a speech in which he claimed “ There ’ s a woman in Chicago . She has 80 names , 30 addresses , 12 Social Security cards … She ’ s got Medicaid , getting food stamps , and she is collecting welfare under each of her names . Her tax - free cash income alone is over $ 150,000 . ″ “ Who is this woman and how dare she steal the money of innocent , hardworking people ? ” cried the voices of people across the nation . Thus was born the infamous and still widely discussed “ Welfare Queen . ” She stands for all welfare recipients that are ( supposedly ) lazily drinking the day away , popping out babies in order to “ rake in ” more welfare money , and fooling the system by getting more than their share of benefits and then using them to buy iPhones and lobster dinners . Oh , and she ’ s obviously Black . Although Reagan did n ’ t specifically mention her race , he played upon white America ’ s racial fears to ensure that people assumed she was Black . What ’ s more , she is the perfect scapegoat for us to blame for the problems of our nation , the perfect reason to not feel bad about voting for politicians who want to cut meager welfare benefits to struggling families . There ’ s just one catch . She does n ’ t exist . Good old President Reagan made her up . What ’ s much more important than the falsehood of that single example is the fact that this stereotype does n ’ t hold up in general . As we ’ ve already discovered , most welfare recipients are people just like us – hard workers struggling to support themselves and their families in the wake of the Great Recession . My advice ? Speak out when people bring up the tired Welfare Queen and her 12 babies . A future in which people do n ’ t begrudge struggling families their humble benefits based on a racist myth is possible Spread knowledge and knowledge will overcome . Myth # 6 : Welfare Is Not Effective Government assistance is extremely effective at helping people get out of – and stay out of – poverty . Conservative groups like the Cato Institute try to convince the public that because of increasing demand for programs such as food stamps , welfare has failed . In fact , the economic damage done by the Great Recession is the cause of rising food stamp participants . The question we should be asking is , where would we be without these programs ? Well , in 2013 , for example : Food stamps helped lessen the burden of poverty for 4.8 million people . The Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit kept 8 million hardworking families from falling under the poverty line . If Social Security did n ’ t exist , 27 million more people would be poor . And that ’ s just the tip of the iceberg . Every year , Census Bureau data proves that welfare programs are instrumental in helping people get back on their feet – and quickly . This is exactly why these programs are necessary . And precisely why cutting their funding does n ’ t make any sense . In contrast , increasing funding to welfare programs would help alleviate poverty to an even greater extent , which would in turn help the economy grow and protect the middle class . This brings us to the greatest myth of all – the myth that you or I will never , under no circumstance , need government assistance . Myth # 7 : You ’ ll Never Need Welfare Welfare , in some form , touches most people at some point during their life . Maybe it was that few months of unemployment benefits that the war vet received when she was laid off . Maybe it was childcare resources that saved the single dad ’ s ass when he needed to go to work and leave the kids at home . Or perhaps it was the tax credits that got that working family through their roughest time . No one can truthfully know that life will not throw them a curveball that severely impacts their financial situation . It ’ s crucial to understand that many of the welfare recipients people pity – or disdain – started out in a much more stable position . And no matter what our current circumstances are , things change . Wealth , health , and good luck do not always last . Not one of us can know for sure that we wo n ’ t need to rely on welfare at some point in our lives . Realizing this is just one important step towards cultivating empathy for those who are less fortunate than us . * * * Providing a safety net through government assistance makes our country stronger – and it ’ s time for Americans to stop spreading untrue and damaging rumors decrying the very programs that are creating a brighter future for our nation ’ s most vulnerable . It ’ s time for politicians to stop trying to cut meager benefits to struggling families . Because there are millions of people out there who truly need these programs to help them get back on their feet . And you never know – someday , you might be one of them .

http://everydayroots.com/fatigue-remedies | 12 Remedies for Fatigue & When You ’ re Feeling Tired Our existences are anything but simple , and most of us will find ourselves overworked and exhausted from time to time - or all the time . Fatigue , true fatigue , is much more than feeling overworked and just being sleepy , although it can make you want to curl up in bed and forget the rest of the world . It creeps into everyday life and effects your physical and mental well - being making it very difficult , if not impossible , to get things done . My own personal struggles with fatigue at point strained relationships Fatigue is a difficult thing to manage , as it is such a vague symptom or condition . There ’ s physical fatigue , emotional fatigue , fatigue as a symptom or as a disease in and of itself . There is a good chance there ’ s an underlying medical condition causing fatigue , for example depression or low blood sugar , and this must be addressed before you can hope to get rid of the exhaustion . But if you have n ’ t been able to pinpoint the cause of your fatigue ( and of course you ’ ve had it checked out by a doctor ) it can often times be traced back to a number of habits and lifestyles that seem to have a tendency to develop in the modern world . If you find it dogging your footsteps and dragging you down , do n ’ t sink into despair , there are plenty of changes 1 . Get active We ’ re awfully quick to assume that if we feel exhausted , we should take a nap . But have you ever noticed that if you lie in bed all day , barring recovery or illness , you feel more sluggish ? Your head may feel a bit fuzzy and achy , and you feel like energy was sucked out of your body , instead of replenished . This is because over - resting or sleeping has the exact opposite effect we want it to have , while exercise boosts our energy long - term . If you are Note : Excessive or extreme activity can sometimes create feelings of fatigue , however you generally feel refreshed in the long term . You will need … - A good pair of shoes ( optional , unless you plan on walking into a store . ) Directions It is of the utmost importance that you keep your exercise regular to boost your energy , particularly long - term . Do n ’ t set the bar too high in the beginning if you think you ’ ll easily get discouraged attempting a 4 mile run . Just lace up , slip on , or leave off your shoes and get outside . Take your dog for a walk , go for a casual stroll - anything - even a little exercise is better than none . If the weather is n ’ t cooperating , turn on 2 . Sip Some Potato Water While a brimming glass of fresh potato water may not sound like the first thing you ’ d want to relax on a hot summer day with , it ’ s actually a great home remedy for fatigue . Soaking slices of potato in water makes a potassium rich drink that can help you feel less tired and sluggish , as it replenishes a mineral many people have trouble getting enough of . Like magnesium , the body does not produce potassium - we have to consume it from outside sources . Because our diets these days tend to lean Potassium does n ’ t give you a direct jolt of energy , per say , but along with magnesium ( as well as chloride and calcium ) it is an electrolyte that is vital for the proper functioning of our cells and the release of energy and the conduction of electricity . Without enough of it , our muscles would n ’ t move properly and our nerve impulses would n ’ t fire right . By ensuring you have healthy levels of potassium , you can get an edge on feeling dull and tired all the time . You will need … - 1 unpeeled potato - 8 ounces of fresh water P.S . Make sure to take a look at the Everyday Roots Book . 350 + pages of the best home remedies , natural beauty recipes , homemade cleaners and diy household products . View Remedies Directions Slice up the potato ( there ’ s no need to peel it - I realize I show them peeled in the photo but I went on auto pilot ) and add to a glass of water . Allow it to steep overnight in the fridge , and drink first thing in the morning . 3 . Boost Red - Blood Cells Iron is important . Without it , our bodies can not produce enough red blood cells . Red blood cells contain hemoglobin , the iron rich protein that carries oxygen throughout our body . Many people think of oxygen ’ s use ending when it enters our lungs , but it must travel throughout our bodies and get delivered to all of our cells and organs for them to function . As you can imagine , a lack of oxygen would lead to a decrease in the bodies functioning , which will result in fatigue . This is called iron - 1 cup each fresh dandelion & nettle OR 2 teaspoons each dried dandelion and nettle - 1 cup of freshly boiled water - Your favorite mug - Honey ! Bring water to a boil and place your herbs in a mug . Pour the boiling water over them and cover , steeping for 10 minutes . Remove the herbs , add plenty of honey to taste , and drink 2 times daily . 4 . Get Some Ginseng Possibly the “ most famous of all Chinese herbs ” - that ’ s a hefty title , considering Chinese herbal medicine dates back hundreds of thousands of years and is full of staple herbs and natural ingredients . But Ginseng has a special place in history , although it ’ s many varieties can make utilizing it a little confusing . Ginseng refers to any one of 11 species of slow - growing perennials in the genus Panax . It is found in North America as well as in Eastern Asia . It is often referred to as an - 1 tablespoon of dried ginseng root OR 1 inch of fresh ginseng root - 1 cup of fresh water - Honey / lemon to taste Slice up 1 inch of ginseng root into small pieces , or place 1 tablespoon of dried ginseng in a tea ball . Cover with hot water and steep , covered , for 10 minutes . Stir in honey and or lemon to taste and replace your morning coffee . Ginseng must be drank daily to have any effect . 5 . Perk - Up With Citrus I adore citrus in pretty much all its forms . From lemon juice to orange juice and everything in between , it never ceases to come in handy for home remedies , and it ’ s refreshing as all get up . In the case of fatigue , start off your day with a glass of lemon water . The smell of a freshly sliced lemon alone will perk you up instantly , and the hydration will set your day up for success . Lemon water helps a number of conditions - such as preventing constipation - but there ’ Squeeze the half of a freshly sliced lemon / lime into a full glass of water . If it ’ s winter , make it warm water - if it ’ s summer , enjoy it chilled ! Drink the whole thing , and repeat twice daily ( with a mid - day boost if needed . ) 6 . Make Your Own Energy Drink Do n ’ t turn to store - bought “ energy drinks . ” They are , I think , one of the most ridiculous marketing schemes to take over in recent years . You ’ re paying an absurd amount for something that is doing you more harm than good - and it ’ s really not going to wake you up in the long run . It will , in all reality , probably make things worse . So make your own instead - they ’ re delicious , satisfying , good for you , and will give you the wonderful long lasting energy you ’ re looking for . 7 . Hello , Yoga . Like so many things that become trendy , yoga ’ s image has been somewhat distorted . If you avoid it because you think of it as a craze that attracts flocks of young folks hanging out before hopping over to the juice bar , just erase that thought . Sure that might be part of it now , but yoga dates back to roughly 5th and 6th centuries B.C. , well before stretchy pants became a staple of closets across western society . Yoga is n ’ t just a form of physical exercise , but a spiritual one - A bit of self - discipline Forget the trendy part and just try it . There are specific poses that help energize you , such as tree pose , downward dog , and cobra . Some require focus and attentiveness , others are more to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility , but all can help fight fatigue . 8 . Love Your Licorice Licorice root is an herb that I tend to go to when it comes to something like a sore throat , but one of its main constituents ( glycyrrhizin ) can actually help with fatigue as well , especially fatigue that is associated with less - than - optimal adrenal functioning . Like ginseng , it can help regulate cortisol levels . It actually helps boost cortisol , which may seem counter intuitive ( read the ginseng remedy for a briefing on what cortisol does ) , however if you are n ’ t producing enough , your body can - 1 tablespoon of dried licorice root - 1 cup of water - Honey / lemon to taste Steep 1 tablespoon of dried licorice root in boiling water , covered , for 10 minutes . Strain , add honey / lemon to taste , and drink first thing in the morning . 9 . More Magnesium I mention magnesium a lot , but it is an important mineral that we really truly suffer a lack of these days . The body does not produce magnesium on its own - it ’ s up to us ( and our diets ) to provide this essential nutrient . The problem is , many diets these days suffer from a lack of good wholesome food . It is a cofactor in 300 plus enzyme systems that regulate a wide variety of biochemical reactions . Everything from muscle and nerve function , protein synthesis , and energy production require magnesium - Magnesium rich foods OR a high quality supplement Include a healthy dosage of magnesium rich foods to your everyday diet , or take a high quality supplement . Adults should take no more than 350 mg / day in the form of supplements - while getting more in terms of diet is n ’ t necessarily harmful , it ’ s easier to take too much in the form of concentrated supplements . 10 . Eat ( and drink ) good stuff . What is food to us ? Why does it matter ? It is literally our energy , it ’ s our fuel . We tend to overlook its importance in today ’ s society . It ’ s right at our fingertips all the time , and the old adage “ you are what you eat ” has faded into the background . But if we skimp on meals or stuff our diets with sugary drinks and greasy , fatty , food , we wo n ’ t run right , or at all . You ’ ll find yourself When we eat , our bodies break down the carbohydrates ( sugars and starches ) which are then broken down again into glucose ( blood sugar ) and absorbed into the blood stream . Put simply , glucose is the energy needed for all systems to go , from our brains to our leg muscles to our heart , and everything in between . Now all carbs are n ’ t good for you - they must be complex carbohydrates . Complex carbohydrates are made of long , complex ( hence the name ) , chains of sugar molecules . Keep in mind the following fatigue tips and questions : Content ratio : The higher the sugar and the lower the fiber the worse the carbohydrate . Use that as a general guideline to indicate which carbs are good or bad . Know the good from the bad : The word “ carbohydrate ” has been tossed around a lot , first we hear they are good , then all of a sudden they ’ re bad for you . The answer is they are both , but we can easily separate the good from the bad . You need the good , so educate yourself and do n ’ t steer clear of carbs altogether or you ’ ll get drained . Fiber , fiber , fiber and more fiber : Foods high in fiber are digested slower than foods with very little fiber , avoiding spikes in blood sugar levels . Examples are whole grains , fruits , vegetables , and beans . Is it refined ? Is it processed ? : Foods like white bread and white rice are stripped of fiber and full of simple carbs . Avoid along with the obvious things like fast food , sugary goodies , soda , etc . 11 . Nip the Naps ( kind of ) Naps are beautiful . There ’ s nothing like having the luxury of being able to snooze in the middle of the day and wake up feeling refreshed and brand new . It is , actually , healthy to take time for naps to an extent . They reduce exhaustion , sharpen your working mind , improve your mood , and make you more alert . But they ’ re also a double edged sword when it comes to being one of your home remedies for or tiredness - have you ever taken a long cat nap and woken up Your biological clock gets thrown off when you sleep too much , and it messes with your cells energy cycles . This makes you feel tired , groggy , and “ sleep drunk . ” That drunken feeling is called sleep inertia , and it happens when you wake up abruptly from slow - wave sleep . Because a nap does n ’ t take you through a full sleep cycle , you often times get woken up out of slow wave sleep . This can seriously impact how you function - sleep inertia can take anywhere from 2 - - A cozy place to nap The brain enters slow wave sleep after roughly 20 - 30 minutes , so limit your time to a “ power nap . ” Unless you ’ re extremely sleep deprived , a 20 minute or so nap should leave you feeling refreshed and awake , not groggy , fatigued , and tempted to go back to sleep . Set aside a time not too close to bed time to treat yourself to an energy boost . 12 . Special Spinach As cliché as it may sound , Popeye really was onto something with spinach and the energy / strength it gives you . Rich in iron , it can help boost red blood cell count , therefore providing you with more energy and fighting anemia . It is also full of magnesium - 1 cup of spinach contains 39 % of the recommended daily intake for magnesium . Early research shows that it may even improve muscle function during a workout . - At least 1 cup of spinach Enjoy at least 1 cup of spinach daily , raw or cooked . Fatigue is a tricky thing because you have to not only figure out what ’ s causing it , but also be dedicated to overcoming it . This is , of course , made all the more difficult by the fact that you ’ re exhausted all the time . One of my favorite sayings is “ seeing the obstacle is one thing , getting around it is another . ” Remember there are two halves to the battle , and the latter - actually getting around said obstacle - is usually the hardest .

http://everydayroots.com/homemade-body-scrub-recipe | Simple Homemade Salt & Lemon Body Scrub You could spend hundreds of dollars on fancy exfoliating body scrubs , but you can easily make one on your own that works just as well . This basic recipe for a body scrub / exfoliator calls on the use of only a few pure , simple , ingredients that can be as effective , if not more , than those in stores that have all sorts of foreign additives . The beauty of this recipe also lies in that it can be customized however you want depending on what you need or feel like . You can use it Ingredients : Epsom salt ( or coarse salt crystals ) , olive oil , lemon or lime juice , lavender or other herbs ( optional ) Why Epsom salt : Epsom salt is an incredible skin - care product . It is a natural mineral composed of magnesium sulfide , which is readily absorbed by the skin . It naturally softens skin , sloughs away dead cells , reduces inflammation , and relaxes muscles . It can be substituted with coarse salt crystals , which will cosmetically do a similar job , but which lacks the benefits of the magnesium sulfide . Why olive oil : Olive oil is silky smooth and helps keep skin moist but not oily . Why lemon or lime juice : Lemon and lime are natural whiteners , acting as a sort of bleach to whiten your nails and cuticles and lighten dark spots on the skin , such as age / liver spots . The fresh scent is also quick invigorating . Why an herb : you can use herbs if you ’ d like to add more benefits to your scrub . Here we use lavender , to promote rest and relaxation . P.S . Make sure to take a look at the Everyday Roots Book . 350 + pages of the best home remedies , natural beauty recipes , homemade cleaners and diy household products .

You can scrub it on dry or in the shower , but if you do the former , rinse off with warm water afterwards .

http://everything-everywhere.com/2014/09/27/travelling-world-indian-passport/ | Traveling the World on an Indian Passport Last Updated on January 13 , 2019 As much as I travel , there are certain subject I simply can not speak to authoritatively . As an American , I ’ m in one of the best positions to travel in terms of getting visas to other countries . Many people in the world are not so fortunate . Getting visas to travel if you live outside of Western Europe or North America can sometimes be a nightmare . I ’ ve asked Savi and Vid , two Indian travelers , to tell their story of how they travel as citizens of India and have overcome the problems of getting visas to other countries . There are lessons to be learned here for citizens of many countries who have difficulty getting visas to travel . There is no dearth of inspirational travel quotations on the internet . Every once in a while , we stumble on something that reads ‘ Pick a bag , book a ticket , and go traveling ’ or ‘ Book a ticket and follow your dreams ’ . We ’ re pretty sure the said quotations and accompanying photos of faraway lands have tempted many a globetrotter out there . But we ’ ve learned to toss them aside with a smile . Savi and Vid – Traveling the World on an Indian Passport It ’ s not because sepia - tinted photos of turquoise beaches and curvy roads do n ’ t tempt us – it ’ s because we ca n ’ t just pick a bag , choose a place on the globe , and get going . We love travelling and visit more than 10 countries a year on an average . But we ’ ve learned to accept that the phrase ‘ spontaneous travel ’ is a bit of an oxymoron for us . This is because traveling on an Indian passport is a carefully orchestrated operation involving endless salary slips , proofs of address , bank statements , and letters of employment . No , we are not exaggerating in the least . While US and UK citizens can travel to over 170 countries without a visa , Indian citizens can travel only to 28 countries without a visa . Another 30 countries issue visas on arrival to Indian passport holders . It ’ s worth pointing out that this list of 58 countries includes a number of politically troubled or geographically remote nations such as Antarctica , Tuvalu , Djibouti , Iraq , and Tajikistan , which are off limits for most people . Does one give up ? We ’ ve never let this deter us from traveling ( 42 countries , 300 cities , and counting ) but the whole visa situation makes it very hard for us to follow our dream of traveling full time . This is because of visa applications for Europe , the Americas , Australia , and most of Asia and Africa request credible proof of full - time employment and sufficient funds to cover one ’ s travels . Our American and British friends are often left aghast at the kind of paperwork that goes into applying for a single visa . Our visa - laden passport booklets ( 5 going on 6 ) are a constant source of amusement for them . Vid and Savi in Berlin Over the years we ’ ve spent a lot of time and money procuring visas for various countries . We ’ ve had to cancel flights and entire holidays because of visas being turned down or simply not getting the visa on time . Here ’ s what we ’ ve learned along the way – we hope these tips come in handy if you travel on an Indian or Asian passport . Where To start If you ’ re struck by wanderlust , nothing can stop you from traveling . It ’ s really as simple as that . If the thought of applying for a visa intimidates you , why not start with countries that have relaxed immigration rules ? A number of culturally rich nations offer visa - free travel to Indian Passport Holders while others offer easy visas on arrival . Many of the Caribbean islands , Cambodia , Seychelles , El Salvador , Ecuador , Bolivia , Bhutan , Myanmar , and the Maldives amongst many others allow visa - free Thailand , Kenya , and Mauritius . We ’ ve spent a long time exploring the by lanes and alleys of Thailand , acquainting ourselves with locals in tiny villages in Cambodia , and sampling the street food of Mauritius . Countries that are geographically close to India and allow visa - free travel for Indians such as Sri Lanka Nepal , Maldives , and Seychelles are definitely some of the easiest ones to visit . It helps that they offer such diversity in terms of culture , history , and food . The more challenging visa applications Out of the more popular destinations like Australia , USA , UK , and various European countries , we find it ’ s best to visit countries grouped under the Schengen area . You apply for 1 visa and if granted , you can visit 26 countries using the same visa . Procuring the Schengen visa is a fairly long and expensive process . Short - stay Schengen visa applications cost around £ 75 ( ? 7,460 ) and it can take around 2 weeks for the visa to arrive . Everything from hotel stays to connecting flights need to be booked in advance and submitted with the visa application Iceland is a Schengen Zone country . 1 visa gets you entry to 26 countries ! Do keep one very important thing in mind – Visa fee is the same for single , double , and multiple - entry Schengen visas ! Make sure you request for a year - long multiple - entry Schengen visa in your cover letter to the concerned Consulate . Once you have multiple entry visas , you can plan spontaneous trips to any of the Schengen countries and stay there for a period of 90 days . We have found applying at the French consulate in London has been the best avenue for getting a year - long multiple entry Schengen visa . In fact , on a couple of occasions , we have actually planned a trip to Paris just so we could get Some of our favorite Schengen countries are Iceland , Spain , and Italy . Outside the Schengen countries , Croatia is one of the most scenic countries we have visited and you do not need to apply for a separate visa IF you have a multiple entry Schengen visa ! As for the procedure for applying , it ’ s pretty much the same for Australia , UK , USA , and the Schengen states : You MUST make them believe that you have no intention of staying in their country . You should provide whatever documentary proof you can to prove this – detailed tax records , salary slips , proof of employment , address proofs – you name it . Except for UK , you also need to provide confirmed bookings for travel and accommodation . However , these visas can be acquired only if you have proof of full - time employment . It is near impossible for Indian Passport holders to acquire visas without proof of employment . You must also be able to show enough funds to cover your expenditure when traveling – usually this is Croatia is not in the Schengen Zone , but if you have a multi - entry Schengen visa , you can enter . Tourist visas for Australia and UK are usually valid for 6 months but the best thing about the US visa is that it is valid for 10 years . Short - term visas can cost anywhere from £ 75 ( ? 7,460 ) for Australia and the Schengen countries to £ 100 ( ? 9,946 ) for UK and USA . A tourist visa for the USA might be the most difficult to procure , but if granted , is definitely the best value for money . It ’ s good to accrue what we call “ Visa Brownie Points ” – the more visas you have , the easier obtaining visas gets in the future . In addition , having a resident permit for UK , USA , Canada , Australia , or any of the European countries definitely improves the chances of getting visas for other countries . If we can do it , so can YOU It might be expensive and cumbersome to travel on underprivileged passports but that does n ’ t make it any less fun . We absolutely love acquainting ourselves with new cultures and making friends around the world . Nothing comes close to the feeling on being on the road . A gentle reminder – while we have tried to make sure that all information is correct , always confirm details from the consulate of the country that you are planning to visit . Often their official websites are not up - to - date , so we always send an email to the consulate to verify details . You can also refer to these wiki pages for a general overview : Visa requirements for Indians , Filipinos , and Malaysians Savi and Vid are avid travelers struck by wanderlust . They have driven with zebras in South Africa , been caving in Austria , cavorted with Bedouins in the Sahara , befriended soldiers in Israel , and partied in a nuclear bunker in the Czech Republic . They blog about their travel and fashion adventures at BruisedPassports . com . Their favorite city is London where they currently live .

http://everythingfj60.com/2014/03/09/60-series-toyota-land-cruiser-worth/ | What is a 60 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Worth by Everything FJ60 Mar 9 2014 Musings 39 comments This is an interesting question and one to which the answer has changed quite a bit over the last couple years As the economy has been improving more people have jobs and money to spend on things like the car of their dreams 60 Series Toyota Land Cruiser This has caused prices to go up higher than what I remember from before the economic collapse Prior to the US economic collapse in 20082009 10000 was probably a fair price for a lowmiles excellent condition late model FJ60 Im sure people were paying more and less for this type of vehicle but I happened to be shopping for mine in the summer of 2008 and this was the conclusion I came to And like I said Im sure some people were paying more like myself I paid 12000 for mine at a dealership What can I say I was naive and swayed by my own excitement about owning my first Land Cruiser The great recession created an increase in supply and decrease in demand for 60 series Land Cruisers People either didnt have money or were afraid to spend it and many 60 series owners were selling theirs because they needed money This pushed prices down If I had to guess I would say that a fair price for that 10000 FJ60 mentioned above would probably be about 6000 to 8000 during the deepest part of the recession Now its 2014 and the US is slowly working is way out of its financial debacle The Dow and SP indexes have reached alltime highs and people have more money in their pockets and are less afraid to spend it Enter the 40000 FJ60 I reposted from another site recently In my post I made a comment about how ridiculous the price was However I wouldnt be too surprised if it sells for somewhere close to that If you read the original post you would have seen that the current owner took it to TLC to get checked out and maintenance done and Im sure they told the current owner it was worth that much TLC can actually sell FJ60s like this for that much money because 40K is pocket change to their clientele So all they have to do is reach out to their customers and let them know they have a perfect lowmiles FJ60 for sale and they are bound to get some interest So the question is if you or I owned that 60 and posted it on craigslist IH8MUD or eBay how much could we expect to get for it My What Are They Really Worth If you follow Land Cruiser prices you know they vary wildly This is partly due to owners overvaluing their precious Land Cruisers partly due to ignorance about the current market for these vehicles and sometimes due to greed This is what Nadaguides says a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser is worth Original MSRP Low Retail Average Retail High Retail Base Price 17196 4900 7850 16700 TOTAL PRICE 17196 4900 7850 16700 Here is what they say a 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 is worth Original MSRP Low Retail Average Retail High Retail Base Price 20898 4900 8050 13100 TOTAL PRICE 20898 4900 8050 13100 I think this is a pretty good estimation of what one could expect to pay for a US model stock FJ60 and FJ62 I think the high end is a bit higher closer to 20000 like the example above NonUS 60 Series What about all those nonUS 60 series Land Cruisers that are being imported to the US right now These will obviously fetch a higher price than a US model FJ60 or FJ62 because they are rare and desirable They came with lots of cool features that Land Cruisers in the US didnt come with A quick check with some foreign Land Cruiser and 44 specialty importers websites can give us an idea of what one of these gems is going for these days Cross Country Cruisers past inventory has the following 60 series listed 1988 Land Cruiser HJ61 w Roof top tent SOLD 14999 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ61 Right hand Drive SOLD 16999 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ60 Right hand Drive SOLD 14999 There are a few others listed but 14000 to 17000 seems to be the price they are selling for JDM Land Cruisers past inventory shows the following 1987 LHD HJ61 AC Locking Differential Toyota Land Cruiser Asking 12500 1983 HJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser Asking 14750 Based on these examples it seems that one should expect to pay 12000 to 17000 for an imported 60 series in good shape Heavily Modified 60 Series Land Cruisers Pricing for heavily modified Land Cruisers can get a little tricky Just because someone spent 30000 on a professional engine swap a new lifted suspension and new tires doesnt mean it is worth 30000 plus the value of the Cruiser before the work was done In this case the price of the Land Cruiser would probably only be worth several thousand more than it was worth before the modifications were made Why Well because before the the diesel or V8 was swapped into it it was a Land Cruiser that ran and drove fine After the swap was done it Besides main components of the vehicle like the engine suspension and whatever else it needs to operate there are upgrades likes aftermarket bumpers roof racks winches lights center consoles and stereo equipment that can add value to a Land Cruiser A good way to judge the value of Land Cruisers with lots of extra bits and bobs is to try and determine the value of each part as if it were going to be sold as a used part I try and keep all my old parts so I can easily swap them back incase I ever need to sell Of course all of this has to be taken with a gain of salt There is a sucker born every minute and there are good deals out there If you are in the market for a 60 series Land Cruiser check out the 60 Series Buyers Guide 39 Comments Jan Wilson on December 28 2014 at 116 pm I have a 1983 Land Cruiser needing new engine Trying to decide if I should just sell it and if so what is it worth Everything FJ60 on December 28 2014 at 137 pm Thats tough to answer If the engine didnt need to be replaced would you keep it If so then rebuild the engine If its a very clean truck otherwise you may be able to get 4 or 5k for it Joe G on January 19 2015 at 853 am Put a diesel in it arche stevens on February 12 2015 at 430 pm I have a 1987 Toyota land cruiser the body is rusted a bit on both front

pm Thats way more then what I expected Im hoping I get like 4k for it Everything FJ60 on February 12 2015 at 1106 pm I could be wrong It hard to know without going through it in detail Michael on

http://evidence.environment-agency.gov.uk/FCERM/en/SC060065/MeasuresList/M4/M4T2.aspx | Bypass channels Bypass channels Description of measure A bypass channel provides opportunity to wholly circumvent the barrier to fish migration and should aim to resemble , in form and function , a side channel or natural tributary of the main river system . For other types of fish pass please see Fish passes in river systems Application Bypass channels are particularly well suited to small scale barriers such as low head weirs ( < 2 m ) , where the height difference between up and downstream does not lead to an overly long bypass section . Typical by - pass gradients range from 1 to 5 per cent making them particularly suitable for the passage of species that are difficult to accommodate with other types of fish pass ( such as juvenile and smaller coarse fish ) . The gradient of the channel may be increased to nearer 5 per cent if energy - dissipating features are The aquatic ecosystem should be carefully evaluated to assure that bypass channels do not adversely impact other aquatic biota and stream corridor functions . It is advisable to consult an ecologist or fisheries scientist when considering bypass channel application . Bypass channels can improve connectivity across in - stream barriers , effectively mitigating morphological impacts associated with this type of habitat fragmentation . Land acquisition adjacent to the barrier is a consideration . Benefits for Water Framework Directive The free passage of migratory fish is a key requirement of the Water Framework Directive , and is being used as an indicator for assessing whether water bodies are meeting Good Ecological Potential or Status . Initial assessments suggest that many waters throughout the UK are at risk of failing to achieve Good Ecological Potential as a result of barriers to fish migration . Well designed bypass channels can help deliver objectives of the Water Framework Directive , by : Ensuring that fish can move freely between different parts of the river system or between the river and coastal waters in order to access breeding , nursery of feeding grounds . Ensuring the passage of other mobile aquatic species , such as invertebrates and plankton . Providing additional habitat . A bypass channel can replace a portion of flowing water habitat that has been lost due to the impoundment . The restorative function however is limited to those species ( plant , invertebrate , fish , and mammal ) that use these channels as natural habitat . Where there is a deficit in flowing water habitat , the restorative function of the channel can be widespread . Effective migration can generally be provided for all fish and invertebrate species in quantities that ensure the maintenance of all populations . Bypass channel can also provide a number of other benefits . For example , fish passage is also an important factor supporting the other designations , such as river Sites of Special Scientific Interest . Unlike other types of fish pass , a bypass channel is unlikely to become blocked with debris , and requires little maintenance . A bypass channel can also offer benefits in terms of visual amenity if incorporated with planting and landscaping . prev 1 2 3 next | [

http://evidenceforchristianity.org/why-did-paul-write-romans-how-is-it-applicable-todayr/ | Why did Paul write Romans How is it applicable today Posted on July 12 2005 by John Oakes What was Pauls purpose for writing Romans What was the pleasues soughted What principles stressed What are the potential for today Most commentators believe that with Romans although the letter is addressed to the church in Rome it is a general epistle In other words the letter was intended all along to be a letter to all the churches To make a distinction consider the book of First Corinthians This book was definitely addressed to the church in Corinth It addressed specific needs and problems in Corinth The same could be said for Galatians and other of Pauls letters By contrast there does not seem to be any content in Romans other than the final salutations in the book of Romans which is specific to the needs in Rome Therefore in deciding the purpose of the book one should recognize that the letter is essentially intended for the church in general The specific purpose of the letter was to describe the doctrine of salvation through the death of Jesus and through faith in the blood of Jesus To quote Paul The righteous shall live by faith Romans 117 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified greely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood Romans 32324 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us Romans 58 Paul goes on at length about the role of faith in salvation and about the necessity of the blood of Jesus apart from our own righteous acts for salvation Human effort is not the key but Gods sovereign choice as is stressed in chapters 89 I am afraid I do not understand the second question What was the pleasues soughted Perhaps you can ask again making yourself more clear You must have made a spelling error On the third question What principles are stressed I would repeat the answer to my first question The principles stressed are righteousness through faith in the blood of Jesus The last several chapters in Romans are practical applications of this teaching on righteousness This is a pattern for Paul In several of his letters he presents a deep theological truth followed by practical applications In Romans the practical applications are living a sacrificial life 1218 loving one another in practical ways 12921 and submitting to one another in love 131513 What are the potential for today I am afraid I also do not understand this question Perhaps you mean What are the practical applications for today I would say that the practical applications are found principally in chapters 1215 Because of the love and sacrifice of Jesus we ought to live sacrificial lives as well Ch 12 devoting our talents and energy to serve one another also Ch 12 and finding ways to use love to make a difference in this world also Ch 12 Chapters 1315 are all about submitting our will and desire to the authorities of our society and to the needs both practical and spiritual of our brothers and sisters and of others as well Feel free to clarify the two questions I could not understand if you like John Oakes | [

Working on something at work , recently , I came to realize I have a pet peeve . You ’ ve seen movies , or had friends where someone eats something , ( mexican food , etc ) , for dinner or whatever , and then IMMEDIATELY says ‘ omg I have to take a crap , ’ or cracks a joke like ‘ oh man I do n ’ t wanna sleep in your room tonight ! ’ Basically implying that what they ate is about to exit their body , somehow , violently from the pooper . The Now , for your pleasure , I have sing The Internets to figure out exactly how long food takes to digest and get pooped out . The summary is that basically , most food takes a around 24 hours . Things like steak can take up to three days , and pure veggies only ( ? ) take about 12 hours . Not 1 hour , not 5 minutes . I ’ m no doctor , but if I had to guess , I would imagine the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom is induced by the added pressure from the food inside of your stomach . It pushed down into your guts , and puts pressure on your colon and lower intestine , making you feel like you have to go to the bathroom . So yeah , not really a huge pet peeve so much as just a pretty surprisingly common misconception . Here ’ s my google search . ( Hard , I know . ) how long does food take to digest - Google Search And now , lots of excerpts from what appear to be reputable Interneters : If you are talking just about the hamburger meat or if you are talking about a hamburger sandwich with all the trimmings , the answer is about the same . It takes about 24 - 72 hours for most people ’ s digestive tract to do its job on the food eaten … depends on the person , the food , the person ’ s state of health , medications they might be on , their emotions , etc … but , on the whole 1 - 3 days will completely digest , or break apart , the food This can vary — but usually between 24 and 72 hours in healthy individuals . After you eat , it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine . Food then enters your large intestine ( colon ) for further digestion and absorption of water . Elimination of undigested food residue through the large intestine usually begins after 24 hours . Complete elimination from the body may take several days . How long does this vital process take ? It depends on what you ’ re eating , Dr . Oz says . “ A steak dinner can take you two , maybe three days to get out of your intestine . What that means is the way you digest it is basically to rot it in your intestines . On the other hand , if you eat vegetables and fruits , they ’ re out of your system in less than 12 hours . ” Hop on the intestinal train for a food - informative ride . From mouth to anus , your intestinal tract is a 25 - foot long disassembly line . Whole food is taken in at one end and waste expelled from the other . Enroute nutrients are taken out of the food and absorbed into the bloodstream according to the body ’ s needs . The whole process is called digestion . ( When things go wrong , it ’ s called indigestion . ) The stomach holds a little under 2 quarts ( 1.9 liters ) of semidigested food . That food remains in the stomach for three to five hours . The stomach slowly releases food to the rest of the digestive tract . Fifteen hours or more after the first bite started down the alimentary canal ( digestive tract , which begins at the mouth ) , the final residue of the food is passed along to the rectum and is excreted through the anus as feces . Dear Kandice : Rest assured , it does not take the stomach one hundred years to digest a cherry . It takes about four hours for most of the food from a meal to leave the stomach and be absorbed by the intestine . The hard , round pit , or seed of a cherry , would be more difficult for the stomach to digest . If someone did actually swallow a cherry … Wtf , 100 years ? So yeah , whatever , l2p ( oop ) Originally posted here Subscribe Post a new comment 2 comments Deleted comment evilzug July 26 2007 , 06 : 33 : 40 UTC Collapse I guess that ' s true .

Evolution is responsible for both the remarkable similarities we see across all life and the amazing diversity of that life — but exactly how does it work ? Fundamental to the process is genetic variation upon which selective forces can act in order for evolution to occur . This section examines the mechanisms of evolution focusing on : Descent and the genetic differences that are heritable and passed on to the next generation ; Mutation , migration ( gene flow ) , genetic drift , and natural selection as mechanisms of change The importance of genetic variation The random nature of genetic drift and the effects of a reduction in genetic variation ; How variation , differential reproduction , and heredity result in evolution by natural selection ; and How different species can affect each other ' s evolution through coevolution Important events in the history of life Descent with modification Mechanisms page 1 of 22 < previous | next > | [

In this sense , a species is the biggest gene pool possible under natural conditions . For example , these happy face spiders look different , but since they can interbreed , they are considered the same species : Theridion grallator That definition of a species might seem cut and dried , but it is not — in nature , there are lots of places where it is difficult to apply this definition . For example , many bacteria reproduce mainly asexually . The bacterium shown at right is reproducing asexually , by binary fission . The definition of a species as a group of interbreeding individuals can not be easily applied to organisms that reproduce only or mainly asexually . Also , many plants , and some animals , form hybrids in nature . Hooded crows and carrion crows look different , and largely mate within their own groups — but in some areas , they hybridize . Should they be considered the same species or separate species ? If two lineages of oak look quite different , but occasionally form hybrids with each other , should we count them as different species ? There are lots of other places where the boundary of a species is blurred . It ' s not so surprising that these blurry places exist — after all , the idea of a species is something that we humans invented for our own convenience !

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/history_13 | print Discrete Genes Are Inherited : Gregor Mendel Throughout the nineteenth century , heredity remained a puzzle to scientists . How was it that children ended up looking similar to , but not exactly like , their parents ? These questions fascinated and frustrated Charles Darwin deeply . After all , heredity lies at the heart of evolution . The variations in each generation are the raw material for natural selection , while the continuity from one generation to the next allows the changes wrought by natural selection to have long - term effects . Darwin himself proposed that each cell in an animal ' s body released tiny particles that streamed to the sexual organs , where they combined into eggs or sperm . They would then blend together when the animal mated . But " pangenesis , " as Darwin called it , did n ' t hold up to scrutiny . Ironically , it was just as Darwin was publishing the Origin of Species that someone got the first real glimpse of the biological machinery behind heredity . In a secluded monastery in what is now the Czech Republic , a monk named Gregor Mendel was studying heredity in a garden of peas . Mendel , the son of a farmer , had always been interested in plants , and while at the University of Vienna he had been trained in mathematics and learned how to design experiments and analyze data . In the 1850s , he decided to run an experiment to better understand what kept species distinct and what made it possible Trait inheritance Mendel selected 22 different varieties of peas and interbred them , keeping track of seven different traits , such as pea texture — smooth or wrinkled . Mendel found that when he hybridized smooth and wrinkled peas , he produced peas that were all smooth . But if he then produced a new generation of peas from the hybrids , a quarter of the peas were wrinkled . Mendel proposed that the peas were not blending their " wrinkled " and " smooth " traits together . Each hybrid pea inherited both traits , but only the smooth trait became visible . In the next generation , the traits were handed down again , and a quarter of the new peas inherited two " wrinkled " traits , which made them wrinkled . Mendel had discovered what later scientists called " dominant " and " recessive " alleles Mendel ' s experiments with hawkweed did not yield results consistent with his work on peas . Mendel ' s work goes unrecognized Mendel tried to drum up interest in his results but to no avail . Part of the problem was that botanists of Mendel ' s time were not accustomed to statistics being applied to natural history , and so they could n ' t recognize the importance of Mendel ' s discovery . And when Mendel tried to replicate his results with hawkweed , he failed — not because his original insights were wrong , but because the genetics of hawkweed are very peculiar . Nevertheless , the patterns that Mendel saw did apply to many organisms and were there Mendel abandoned his experiments in the 1860s and turned his attentions to running his monastery . When he died in 1884 , he was remembered as a puttering monk with a skill for breeding plants . It was only some 15 years after his death that scientists realized that Mendel had revealed the answer to one of life ' s greatest mysteries .

" This can mean one of two things : Lack of knowledge Usually , a polytomy means that we do n ' t have enough data to figure out how those lineages are related . By not resolving that node , the scientists who produced the phylogeny are telling you not to draw any conclusions — and also to stay tuned : often gathering more data can resolve a polytomy . There are many ways that the polytomy above could be resolved . Six are shown below . Only more data can help us decide which is the most accurate representation of the relationships between A , B , C , D , and E . Rapid speciation Sometimes a polytomy means that multiple speciation events happened at the same time . In this case , all the daughter lineages are equally closely related to one another . The researchers who have reconstructed the tree you are examining should tell you if they feel that the evidence indicates that this is the case . The phylogeny below shows the relationships among the members of a group of fish called cichlids .

Ceramic Heaters Comparison Feature Pure Carbon Carbon Fiber Ceramic Heating Surface Area up to 960 square inches up to 620 square inches 12 to 56 square inch Lifetime Expectancy 100,000 hours 20,000 hours 5,000 hours Cold Spots No No Yes Commercially Tested Yes Emissivity Rate 96 % 94 % 85 % - 94 % ( rate will drop as heater get hotter ) Wavelength Range 6 - 14 micorns 4 - 22 micorns 3 - 18 microns Carbon heaters have the largest surface area , lower temperature and emit rays closer to far - infrared . Benefits of Carbon Fiber Heaters vs Ceramic Heaters : Even Heat Distribution : Carbon Fiber heaters are composed of thin carbon plates and have an even heat distribution area , thereby eliminating hot spots that are typically experienced with Ceramic Heaters Lower Surface Temperature : The surface temperature of a Carbon Fiber heater is much lower than a Ceramic heater , therefore , they are safer and a person can withstand longer therapy sessions . More Heat Coverage : Carbon Fiber heaters provide more heat coverage than ceramic heater saunas . Infrared Rays : Carbon Fiber heaters emit rays that are closer to far infrared which is most beneficial for health and healing . Deep Tissue Penetration : Carbon Fiber heaters Infrared heat penetrates deeper into the skin tissue than with Ceramic heaters . Lower Energy Cost : Carbon heaters are energy - efficient Some ceramic heaters can make it difficult for an individual to lean against , as opposed to Fiber Carbon heaters , which have a lower surface temperature . It is not recommended to have the sauna temp at more than 130 , as it is not necessary and for health safety reasons . You can can start sweating at temperatures of 115 or more in an infrared sauna as your body is being heated directly instead of just heating the air around you like a traditional sauna . If you want the benefit of more infrared then Fiber carbon is a good choice . The infrared emission are lower on the ceramic heaters . Fiber carbon heaters are also more energy efficient . Please note that are fiber carbon saunas use 100 % carbon sheet ( not plastic and not sprayed ) Carbon Fiber Heaters Carbon fiber heaters were recently developed as a solution for ceramic heaters issues . Carbon fiber heaters are thin and have a large surface area which heats at a lower temperature . Carbon fiber heaters are created by impregnating carbon ink ( carbon in nanometer form ) into a fiber glass sheet , which is sealed between two fiber glass sheets to eliminate any gases . The heaters do not use any glues or plastics . Pros : Low surface temperature , even heat and infrared wave distribution , large heating surface area Commercial Grade Carbon Fiber Heaters Commercial grade carbon fiber heaters are similar to carbon fiber heaters except they are built to work continuously for a long period of time ( between eight to ten hours ) . Regular heaters - carbon or ceramic - must be turned off after 90 minutes of use for at least an hour , which make them unsuitable for commercial use .

http://evolvinghealthscience.blogspot.com/2010/09/whats-difference-between-systemic.html | Evolving Health 20 September 2010 What ’ s the difference between systemic , essential and secondary hypertension ? Our arteries are origins of potential disease and death . Most of arterial disease happens through sclerosis , or a hardening of the arteries . Previously we called this arteriocleoris , but that ’ s too general . So now , sclerosis is defined as either medial calcific sclerosis , hypertensive vascular disease or atherosclerosis . Hypertensive vascular disease , in particular , is also called arteriosclerosis because it involves arteriole ’ s intima and media thickening as a result of cumulative amounts of plasma proteins , plus overproduction of basement membrane and extracellular matrix . Systemic hypertension , or high blood pressure , is associated with hypertensive vascular disease and is a problem that is widespread . The term systemic distinguishes the condition from a local high blood pressure as in pulmonary ( lung ) or portal hypertension ( hepatic portal system ) . The chief risk factors are genetics , race , older age , smoking , obesity and stress . Essential hypertension does not usually have an identifiable cause , but is just a defect in mechanisms that control blood pressure . It may involve a defect in the kidney ’ s ability to excrete sodium , a defect in the arteriolar smooth muscle , or a defect causing exaggerated response of autonomic system . Secondary hypertension results as a secondary aspect from a disorder such as kidney damage that causes elevated blood pressure . The consequences of hypertension are both arteriolosclerosis ( reduced arteriole ’ s lumen ) and possible stroke or heart attack . Reference Nowak TJ , Hanfod AG .

http://evstudio.com/construction-cost-per-square-foot-for-recreation-facilities/ | Construction Cost Per Square Foot for Recreation Facilities by Dean Dalvit on June 12 , 2010 We offer full scope design and engineering services for various types of Recreation Facilities , and a common question we typically get in the beginning of any project is : How much does it cost to build a Recreation Center ? There is a wide range of definitions for a recreation center and the functions that occur inside . As a result , this is no easy question to answer until a thorough program has been put together for the overall facility . However , there is some guidance for the specific types of spaces that occur within the center . Below are the results of data that has been collected for a range of these projects across the country by the industry leader in construction cost estimating , RSMeans . Consistent with all of the studies available for construction costs , you will see that there is a significant range in cost , depending on location . Enclosed Swimming Pool Construction Cost 2010 Enclosed Swimming Pools is the most common element found in community recreation centers . The cost per square foot for these types of spaces range from $ 167 to $ 292 with the median hovering around $ 226 per square foot . While different programmatic requirements can significantly alter the costs of a swimming facility ( water playgrounds , whirlpools , etc . ) , this is the most expensive space in this particular study . Racquetball Court Construction Cost 2010 Racquetball courts are still a very popular addition to any state - of - the - art recreation center . With similar building volume requirements as a swimming pool , but far fewer specialty systems , these spaces range from $ 128 to $ 224 with the median falling around $ 173 per square foot . Hockey Rink or Indoor Soccer Arena Construction Cost 2010 Something of a specialty for a recreation center , and often times , a function on its own , is a hockey rink or an indoor arena . These spaces require long span structural systems , but enclose a large amount of space , helping to drive cost per square foot down to some degree . The range for this type of space is $ 125 to $ 218 with a median of $ 169 per square foot . Bowling Alley Construction Cost 2010 Finally , even more of a specialty for a recreation center , and more commonly found in separate private sector entertainment facilities , is the bowling alley . Again , a large open space , and with some specialty equipment . The range is $ 117 to $ 204 with a median of $ 158 per square foot , and is the lowest cost for space in this study . Each of these project types can vary greatly depending on the specific group of functions , the location , and the population served . In order to better identify a more accurate estimate of construction cost , we must look at the specific program and all of the other factors that go into a cost assessment during the initial stages of design . For more specific information regarding the cost of any project , please contact us at EVstudio and we can assist in that process , which will set the stage for a highly successful design for your project Tagged as : Community Center construction cost Recreation | [

http://evstudio.com/how-do-architects-determine-their-fees-and-how-much-are-architects-fees/ | How Do Architects Determine Their Fees and How Much Are Architect ’ s Fees by Sean O ' Hara on June 10 , 2016 I ’ ve noticed that most architects have avoided putting information on their website about what architects charge for their services and how much their fees are . However , in the EVstudio spirit of providing information on all sorts of architecture related topics I will give you an explanation . First , it is very important to note that different project types may have very different fees and different architects provide different levels of service . This will be reflected in the fee that you see . You should also be aware that projects with more consultants contracted through the architect will have higher fees . There are five methods of determining fees that I have commonly seen from architects : The first one is guessing what someone is willing to pay , personally I do n ’ t subscribe to this one but I ’ ve seen it . I would ask any service professional to give you the reasoning at how they arrive at their fee . The second one is charging hourly . We tend to prefer hourly fees on projects that are particularly open ended or very small scope . Our hourly rates are currently between $ 60 and $ 120 per hour depending on who is doing the work . That ’ s a fairly typical range with some firms going a little lower and some going much higher . Keep in mind that picking a talented quick thinking architect will result in fewer hours . The third method is fairly common with architects and that is a percentage of construction cost . There is a vast range of percentages that you ’ ll see and projects with larger budgets tend to have lower percentages because of the economies of scale on those projects . I ’ ve seen ranges from 3 - 20 % depending on the scope and project type . Complex drawings and buildings are at the top but the vast majority are in the 4 - 10 % range . Most of the time the number is based on the initial budget . The fourth method is a $ / sf rate . This is very common on residential and tenant improvement projects and not common on higher cost projects . The common range on these types of projects runs from $ 1.50 / sf to $ 6 / sf depending on what is in or out and sometimes engineering is included . On residential projects we tend to include structural design , site planning and electrical layouts and on TI work we generally include MEP engineering . The fifth method is a fixed fee based on hours . We use this to verify our that our percentages or $ / sf numbers are correct . We also use this for projects that fall outside of normal parameters and make an educated guess based on previous work . It is important to note that these fees are indicative of the overall industry and EVstudio ’ s fees fall in a much tighter and affordable range . Our fees are exceptionally competitive and directly tied to the amount of work that we are doing . We discuss our fees in conjunction with our scope and we offer free estimates so please email or call for a precise budget number . We work with clients across the country and even have a toll free number 866.323.5882 . On a simple project giving you a fee is a 5 minute process . Originally posted 2008 - 12 - 16 00 : 06 : 01 .

http://evtoday.com/2013/06/addressing-the-clotted-access | June 2013 Roundtable : Addressing the Clotted Access An esteemed panel of interventional experts shares viewpoints on optimal methods for identifying and treating clotted AV fistulas and grafts . By Abigail Falk , MD , FSIR Scott O . Trerotola , MD and Karim Valji , MD Share E - Mail Print Bookmark Reprints PDF Abigail Falk , MD , FSIR Interventional Radiologist Medical Director of White Plains Vein and Vascular American Access Care White Plains , New York Dr . Falk has disclosed that she has no financial interests related to this article . Scott O . Trerotola , MD Associate Chair and Chief , Interventional Radiology Stanley Baum Professor of Radiology Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Dr . Trerotola has disclosed that he is a consultant to W . L . Gore , Teleflex , Bard Peripheral Vascular , B . Braun , Cook , and MedComp , and receives royalty payments from Cook and Teleflex . Karim Valji , MD Professor of Radiology Chief of Interventional Radiology University of Washington Medical Center Seattle , Washington Dr . Valji has disclosed that he has no financial interests related to this article . How effective is your physical examination in predicting imminent AV access thrombosis Dr . Falk : There are two types of arteriovenous access — grafts and fistulas . With grafts , 95 % of them thrombose because there is a stenosis at the venous anastomosis ; a physical exam is good in predicting a graft ’ s demise because the physical exam changes when a stenosis is present . A fully patent graft demonstrates a pansystolic thrill . As a stenosis develops and progresses , the pansystolic thrill becomes a discontinuous thrill , then a pulse , and then the graft clots . However , there are other causes of graft thrombosis , such as hypotension . The physical exam would not help us predict graft thrombosis in this case . For example , if patients become hypotensive following dialysis treatment , they could thrombose their graft and we could never predict it . Fistulas are less likely to clot than grafts ; they need less flow to maintain their patency . So , the physical examination is not as strong a tool in predicting pending thrombosis of an arteriovenous fistula . Dr . Trerotola : People , including myself , have done studies that have correlated the physical examination with flow and findings from fistulography , but to my knowledge , no one has directly correlated physical examination with predicting thrombosis . The closest anyone has come to this is Safa et al , 1 who used a variety of screening tests to reduce the thrombosis rate , and PE was the best predictor of thrombosis . To the extent that we can predict thrombosis with measures such as flow , physical examination should be as good as any other measure in predicting thrombosis . Dr . Valji : The physical exam is an incredibly useful screening tool for identifying dialysis grafts at risk for failure . It is perhaps less reliable for evaluation of dialysis fistulas . Our group at UCSD studied this very question in synthetic dialysis grafts several years back . 1 We reported results of a regular surveillance program conducted by a dedicated nephrologist . Regular physical examination led to a substantial reduction in the frequency of graft thrombosis . In your opinion , what is the best surveillance method for detecting an AV access that is at risk for thrombosis ? Dr . Trerotola : It really depends on the type of access , and even the graft or type of fistula . The physical examination is probably as good as anything else . However , it is likely best to use a combination of factors , such as venous resistance on the machine , flow , and physical examination . As Tessitore et al 2 showed in their article on physical examination , depending on the location of the access , the physical examination is actually as good as or better than flow , such as when it ’ s an upper arm access , where outflow is typically the location of the stenosis . With a forearm access , however , where the inflow is the most common location of the stenosis , the physical examination is not as good . In forearm fistulas , 75 % of stenoses are within a centimeter of the anastomosis , and you get what I call a Dr . Valji : NKF - KDOQI recommends measurement of access flow as the best single surveillance method . In practice , however , any accepted method ( flow measurements , ultrasound , physical exam ) that is applied regularly and consistently is most beneficial for patients . Dr . Falk : Physical examination — because it ’ s not expensive , correlates to flow rates , and you can train the patients and staff to feel an access and contact you when the physical exam changes . Dr . Trerotola ’ s article , ” Screening for dialysis access graft malfunction : comparison of physical examination with US , ” 3 demonstrated that patients with a thrill within a graft had volume flows greater than 450 mL / min , and physical examination was a good screening test for ruling out the low flows associated with impending access graft failure . Agarwal et al described an “ axillary buzz . ” 4 Simultaneous physical examination and flow measurements were performed in dialysis patients with grafts . Average flow rates for patients with an axillary buzz were 1,000 mL / min . Actual flow measurements would be optimal , but many of us do not have access to those , so we rely on our physical exam . What is your first “ go - to ” technique for clearing an AV graft clot , and why ? I use the Arrow - Trerotola percutaneous thrombolytic device ( PTD ) ( Arrow International , a division of Teleflex , Durham , NC ) . I ’ ll note that I have a conflict of interest related to the device , but it ’ s easy to use and extremely effective , and it ’ s supported by a prospective randomized trial . The cost - effective approach is to give tPA , wait , aspirate the clot with an aspiration catheter or sheath , and treat the underlying stenosis . You do not have to open another device . You have to open a balloon , a wire , or a Fogarty catheter ( Edwards Lifesciences , Irvine , CA ) . With the cost constraints of working in an outpatient center , I try to use as little equipment as possible . On a busy day , I will sometimes declot dialysis grafts using the lyse - and - wait method . I believe it is more efficient than other techniques , and I want interventional radiology fellows to gain some experience with it . In most cases , however , I still prefer pulse spray thrombolysis with multi - sidehole catheters and tPA . I have been using this method for almost 30 years , so it is quick and effective in my hands . What is your first “ go - to ” technique for clearing an AV fistula clot , and why ? As is the case with an AV graft clot , I use the Arrow - Trerotola PTD . For fistulas , I avoid lyse and wait . Again , I prefer pulse spray with tPA . Fistulas are very different from grafts , and the thrombectomy technique depends on clot burden . Before starting the thrombectomy , I perform an ultrasound of the fistula to assess clot burden so I can plan the procedure . If there is a small amount of clot , you can just macerate it with a balloon and a lytic agent , or you can aspirate it without a lytic agent , administer heparin to your patient , and treat the underlying lesion ( s ) . A medium amount of clot requires some work — including aspiration , maceration , and thrombolysis to eliminate the clot before treating the underlying lesion ( s ) . Fistulas that are aneurysmal and totally thrombosed present a different type of problem , and you should consider not treating them in an outpatient center because the risk of pulmonary embolism ( PE ) is higher . For thrombosed mega - fistulas , all thrombectomy techniques may need to be used ( including aspiration , maceration , thrombolysis , blocking inflow and outflow to perform a small incision , and removing thrombus with a Kelly clamp ) . If this can not be done safely or if the patient has many comorbid factors and is at a high risk for Although interventionists sometimes use a stent to “ trap ” thrombus , this is not advisable and is not an indication for stent use . In which cases do you use pharmacologic thrombolysis ( clot dissolution ) ? What do you use ? I use enzymatic lysis with tPA in almost all cases . I will occasionally use the Arrow - Trerotola PTD in order to give interventional radiology fellows some experience with the device . I use it most of the time — 40 % of patients undergoing a graft thrombectomy will have a positive V / Q scan . Therefore , I prefer to make sure any clot that accidentally gets sent to the lungs is laced with a lytic agent to decrease the risk of symptomatic PE . I use tPA , which costs approximately $ 50 for 2 mg . This is relatively inexpensive , and with a balloon ( to treat underlying lesions and macerate residual thrombus ) and aspiration techniques ( with a guiding catheter or sheath ) , one I use pharmacologic thrombolysis when there is very large central clot burden ; in this case , I do infusion lysis overnight and clean up the graft or fistula with a PTD the next day . A few of my partners will add a little bit of tPA while they ’ re using the PTD in very large aneurysmal fistulas . Personally , I have not found this necessary , and in limited numbers , it did not seem to change the outcome in our study of the PTD in fistulas . 5 Which cases would you refer for surgical thrombectomy without attempting percutaneous treatment ? If you have declotted the patient ’ s access a number of times , and they keep coming back over a short period of time and hypotension is not the cause , then consider a new access , not a percutaneous or surgical thrombectomy . The only patients I ’ ve referred for surgical thrombectomy ( two patients in the last couple of months ) had mega - fistula declots . One patient refused a catheter placement . This patient came in at 4 : 00 PM , had not been dialyzed in 5 days , and I was going We do n ’ t refer anyone for surgical thrombectomy unless they have an infected graft , which is a strong contraindication to percutaneous declotting . The surgeons do n ’ t want to do thrombectomy , so there really is n ’ t anyone doing thrombectomy to speak of , at least at my institution . There are patients that have very large aneurysms , especially forearm fistulas that have extraordinarily large clot burden , and some people think it ’ s unsafe to declot . Those are patients that you ’ d like to have a conversation with If a graft clots within 1 month of placement , it should be surgically revised . It ’ s not so much getting surgical thrombectomy — it ’ s actually doing something new , because we showed that the patency associated with doing that is zero in 90 days . 6 The article we published on this showed that it ’ s multifactorial : bad veins , physical problems with the graft ( such as kinks ) , a smoldering infection that nobody knows about , etc . The main reason is just that the patency is poor , and I do n ’ t think anyone knows exactly why . I ’ ll refer patients to a vascular surgeon for revision or replacement in the following circumstances : thrombosed and infected access , freshly placed access ( < 1 week ) , early thrombosis after surgical placement / revision ( < 30 days ) , risk factor for full - dose anticoagulation , and known right - to - left shunt . At what point during a procedure do you decide to stop because success is unlikely ? I hardly ever terminate a dialysis access thrombolysis procedure once I begin . I always evaluate the access outflow with venography before I start . If the outflow looks unsuitable or not amenable to repair , I do n ’ t do thrombolysis . On very rare occasions ( usually in patients with thrombophilia ) , ongoing thrombosis eclipses clot lysis despite large doses of anticoagulation . In that situation , I will stop . In experienced hands , if you are not making progress in 45 minutes , stop . If it takes me more than 45 minutes to progress during a thrombectomy , there is something wrong . The longer the procedure time , the higher the risk of complications . If you ca n ’ t get across an occlusion , stop the case . You should be making progress at a slow but steady rate , and if you are not , then get out , place a catheter , and bring the patient back for another approach ( eg , If it ’ s a complicated case that I think I ’ m not going to be able to do quickly , or in a patient who has not been dialyzed in 5 days and I do n ’ t want to put him or her on the table — I ’ ll put in a catheter and bring the patient back . I want the patient to receive an adequate dialysis before I intervene , because it ’ s going to be a long procedure . If I am not making headway , I consider the patient ’ s other options and occasionally give up — the fewer the remaining options , the more aggressive and patient I will be in trying to restore that access . Generally , if you ca n ’ t get a [ nonaneurysmal ] graft or fistula open within an hour , your success rate drops precipitously . I assiduously avoid stenting to accelerate declotting , something I have seen a lot of people do in my area , with adverse results on the long - term viability of the What complications do you worry about the most during AV access declotting ? It depends on the comorbid factors of the patient . If the patient is relatively young and “ healthy , ” and if the access is a graft ( not much clot burden ) , then you can afford to send a little bit of clot to the lungs and not worry about cardiac or pulmonary complications . If it ’ s an elderly patient with many comorbid factors , including a history of heart attack , stroke , diabetes , congestive heart failure , hypertension , and amputation , you can not afford to send one iota of clot to the lungs because you could have a symptomatic PE or worse . If you open an elderly patient ’ s access , you could give him or her a myocardial infarction , because the demand on the heart ( cardiac output ) will go up incredibly . Arterial embolization . The best way to handle this event is to avoid it using careful manipulation of wires , catheters , and balloons around the arterial or AV anastomosis . I do n ’ t worry that much about complications because they are extremely rare during access declotting if it is done carefully . Some people worry about PE , but if you are using a mechanical thrombectomy device according to the instructions for use , it has been shown that the incidence of PE is essentially zero . I do n ’ t worry about PE because I use my device according to the instructions for use . People who are doing other techniques may be more concerned about emboli than I am . Arterial emboli occur in about 5 % of all declots , and almost none of them are symptomatic . In experienced hands , arterial emboli generally happen less frequently . So , I do n ’ t worry too much about those . They can be avoided with careful technique , and if they do occur , they are easy to treat . Are there any special considerations to keep in mind for treating clotted AV fistulas ? What tips can you offer for achieving complete and complication - free restoration of flow and function in a clotted AV fistula ? It ’ s all about clot burden and understanding and planning your case before you begin . You need to make sure that you give heparin beforehand so that it ’ s on board . Heparin works on the serotonin cascade in the lungs because any small emboli that do occur cause vasospasm and bronchospasm . Even a small embolus occluding a big vessel can cause a lot of problems for the patient . Giving heparin helps prevent rethrombosis during the procedure . I personally am a very strong believer in giving antibiotics during declotting because it ’ s been shown that even clinically uninfected grafts have bacteria in them up to 60 % of the time . Fistulas can be more difficult to declot than dialysis grafts . Be prepared to use more than the usual 2 mg of tPA or to consider an adjunctive lytic method if the first method is only partially successful . Consider brachial or radial artery access if the AV anastomosis can not be crossed from the access itself . Expect obstructions to occur at multiple sites . Most importantly , be patient and persistent . Do you have a postthrombectomy follow - up protocol beyond ongoing surveillance at the dialysis unit ? If so , what is your protocol ? No , we do n ’ t have a specific postthrombectomy protocol . However , we do have a monthly systemwide vascular access meeting to discuss difficult or complex cases . The conference is attended by nephrologists , dialysis nurse practitioners and coordinators , interventional radiologists , and vascular surgeons . We have very good ongoing surveillance in the dialysis unit , and we do not routinely bring those patients back for evaluation . A patient should not be brought back routinely for fistulography — it is considered screening , and to bill for that is against the law . We have two different dialysis units . We have one that uses flow and one that uses mostly physical examination and related parameters , such as venous resistance . As far as I can tell , there is no difference between the two , and that ’ s supported by the available literature . I think you have to do what works best in your unit . I have taught physical examination to our unit personnel and our access coordinators with an inservice . We showed in our article correlating examination with flow , in which two of the four 3 If it ’ s a difficult declot and I am concerned when I leave the patient , or he or she keeps clotting over and over again , the lesion keeps coming back , or if he or she is clotting because of hypotension , I ca n ’ t do much about it . I may want to bring the patient back in a week and see how he or she does . It used to be that for a typical declot ( because the patency rates are worse in a thrombectomy than in simple PTA cases ) , we brought them back in a month . Usually we do 3 - month follow - up surveillance . If it ’ s a simple declot and you ’ re pretty confident there are no big problems , treat it like a simple PTA , and bring the patient back in 3 to 4 months . Safa AA , Valji K , Roberts AC , et al .

http://ew.com/article/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-richard-burton-scandal/ | Home Article Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton ' s scandalous love story By Chris Nashawaty March 23 , 2011 at 06 : 50 PM EDT For the past 50 years , Cleopatra has remained the gold standard of Hollywood excess . The 1963 epic nearly sank Twentieth Century Fox . It took two - and - a - half years to shoot . It burned through two directors and two regime changes at the studio . Its budget rocketed from $ 2 million to a then - unthinkable $ 44 million . And , most famously , it left the marriages of its two stars — Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor — in ashes . Nowadays , in an age when celebrity breakups and affairs are more or less routine happenings dissected Cleopatra was like catnip for the world . Once they ’ d had a taste of Liz and Dick and ‘ Le Scandale , ’ celebrity would never be the same again . Cleopatra was already off to an inauspicious start by the time the production got to Rome ’ s Cinecitta studios in 1961 . Filming had begun a year earlier at Pinewood Studios in England , only to be scrapped after 16 weeks . The film ’ s first director , Rouben Mamoulian , had spent $ 7 million and produced only 10 minutes of usable footage before he quit . All About Eve director Joseph L . Mankiewicz took over for Mamoulian . The first order of business was overhauling the script . The second was recasting the two male leads — Burton and Rex Harrison replaced Stephen Boyd and Peter Finch as Antony and Caesar . Then there was the film ’ s million - dollar leading lady , Taylor . When filming on began , Taylor was 29 and already on husband number four , Eddie Fisher . Fisher had left his wife , Debbie Reynolds , for the violet - eyed seductress . That may seem like a dramatic description , but Taylor was regarded by many at the time in dramatic terms — as a “ homewrecker . ” In other words , she was a risky proposition to carry a big - budget Hollywood film like Cleopatra . Another risk in hiring the million - dollar leading lady was her reputation for illness on the sets of her films . It was around that time that Burton , the 36 - year - old Welsh rogue , was cast as Antony . He was married at the time to Sybil Burton . But that had n ’ t stopped his reputation as a ladies ’ man . In fact , years earlier , Burton had met Taylor at a party and flirted heavily with her . She declined him , saying that she would not be another notch on his belt . Now in Rome , Taylor ’ s health seemed to take a turn for the better and so Soon , word of the taboo romance spread like wildfire . The Italian press , with the paparazzi in its infancy , bribing its way onto the set as extras , took the adulterous story and ran with it . When Fisher packed his bags and left Rome , it was as much confirmation as anyone could want . The fact that the two stars would hole up in their trailer all afternoon when they were due on the set did n ’ t help quiet speculation . Neither did the alternating sounds of clinking highballs , screaming fights , When wrapped , two - and - a - half years after it began , Taylor made Burton husband number five . Meanwhile , the film ’ s director , Mankiewicz , said , “ If you want a textbook on how not to make a film , this is it ! ” After all of the drama , Taylor refused to go to the film ’ s premiere . The months — years — of merciless tabloid coverage had worn her out on the subject of . The final humiliation , she quipped , would be having to see the film . Cleopatra was over , but the long , tumultuous saga of Taylor and Burton was just beginning . The couple married in 1964 , divorced in 1974 , remarried in 1975 , and divorced once and for all in 1976 . Only in Hollywood .

The Conjuring was a hit , but I doubt even the most diehard devotees saw it and thought , ” I wonder if that creepy doll barely mentioned in the movie has some sort of narrative of her own ? ” Enter Annabelle , a deeply insulting prequel produced by Wan and directed by cinematographer John R . Leonetti . This disastrous exercise revolves around new mother Mia Gordon ( Annabelle Wallis ) and the demon living within a doll who is trying to steal the soul of her infant daughter . Mia is married to the profoundly unlikeable John ( Ward Horton ) , a medical student whose super power is to arrive just late enough to moments of possession to think his wife is crazy . There ’ s also neighbor Evelyn ( Alfre Woodard ) , who shows up mostly to give Mia a sounding board — though she spends a massive swath of the film talking should have been about 20 minutes long . After Mia and John ’ s home is invaded by members of a Satanic cult , the gears grind sluggishly , with the same series of gags and red herrings unfolding until the ridiculous conclusion , which finds the up - until - then silent evil entity suddenly able to articulate his motives , mostly because the third act demands it . Along the way , there are countless references to Rosemary ’ s Baby ( even naming the main character Mia seems too cute by half ) , which breaks a cardinal rule of filmmaking : Never remind the audience of a great movie in the midst of your terrible movie . The only thrill - building tool in ‘ s kit involves things jumping out at you and making a loud noise , but you ’ re better off watching those YouTube videos that do the exact same thing . We live in an incredible era for horror movies , and deep within the genre , filmmakers are crafting inspired and genuinely unnerving flicks that tap into subconscious fears and make salient points about the human experience . Sadly , horror fans seeking wide - release mainstream films are stuck with , a poorly conceived jumble of half - baked pretension executed entirely without joy for the benefit of the easily bamboozled .

http://ew.com/article/2015/01/13/mark-ronson-interview-bruno-mars-amy-winehouse/ | Home Article Mark Ronson : Recording ' Uptown Funk ' was a multi - continental process Rebecca Cabage / Invision / AP Miles Raymer January 13 , 2015 at 07 : 51 PM EST Mark Ronson got his start in music as a DJ spinning funk and hip - hop at tiny underground parties , but over the past decade , he ’ s built a successful career as one of the most distinctive producers in the industry , crafting pop hits infused with crackling retro - soul for a long list of top - shelf artists including Paul McCartney , Bruno Mars , and — in perhaps the most defining collaboration of his career — Amy Winehouse . Recently , he reunited with Mars for the chart - topping “ Uptown Funk ” Uptown Special ( out today on RCA ) , which also boasts contributions from rapper Mystikal , Tame Impala mastermind Kevin Parker , and novelist Michael Chabon . A few weeks ago , EW dropped in on Ronson while he was holed up in New York ’ s legendary Electric Lady Studios , putting the final touches on Uptown Special , to talk about the album and some of the people he ’ s worked with . EW : So how ’ s the record going ? Are you close to finished ? MARK RONSON : It ’ s kind of all pretty much done , there ’ s just this intro that Stevie Wonder played harmonica on . It ’ s just I ca n ’ t believe I have his harmonica . I keep fine - tuning and fine - tuning and fine - tuning the song . It ’ s like being given the world ’ s most beautiful diamond , and you keep being like , “ I have to set it better , it has to be a better ring , what ’ s around it ? Maybe I need to The first single , “ Uptown Funk , ” is really cool . Can you tell me a little bit about it ? I ’ d already sort of started working on the album with Jeff Bhasker , and obviously I had really good chemistry with Bruno . All of us when we were working on Bruno ’ s album , and I knew I wanted him on this record . There were a couple demos with some ideas that were kind of interesting , left over from his album that I thought we would finish , but when we went over to his studio , he was like , “ Man , I want to do something else . ” And he Trinidad James song live , the [ sings ] “ Do n ’ t believe me , just watch . Do n ’ t believe me , just watch , ” and we were like , “ That would be cool to kind of work that in . ” So we kind of kept getting back together to finish it , because the first session was so exciting . It ’ s like you have this seed of a good idea , and every time you try to get back to recapture that magic , or build on it and it ’ s never as good , and then the song kind of threatens to buckle under that pressure . Bruno was on tour , and we ’ d keep trying these different arrangements , and I ’ d send this and he ’ d send me an idea Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available .

I guess it ’ s the only time I get to indulge all my artistic kind of things that I would n ’ t get to do on somebody else ’ s record . I ca n ’ t really go find some young singer and be like , “ Alright I ’ m gonna take this album , and you ’ re gonna sing it , and we ’ re gonna get this person to write the songs , and we ’ re gonna drive through Memphis and Michael Chabon ’ s gonna write the lyrics . ” It If I heard this on the radio tomorrow , I ’ d either be psyched to buy it , or I ’ d be jealous I did n ’ t make that . I ’ m not really a good judge of what ’ s a hit . I would n ’ t be a great A&R man , ‘ cause I think if you brought me some song that would be like eight weeks at number one for Katy Perry , I would n ’ t necessarily know . But I know when I ’ ve made something that You mentioned earlier sort of the difference between a British audience and a U.S. audience , or you know , how you ’ d had more success in the U.K. and have n ’ t really broken here . There seems to be pretty distinct differences in what those two audiences are looking for . Do you have any insight into what they might be ? Well , it used to be that when American pop radio was kind of in a dire place , England was this exciting place . In the mid - 2000s you had this explosion of like exciting British indie . It was the beginning of Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party , and it seemed like the White Stripes and the Strokes , even though it was a little before that , they all broke England first . I remember going there and then listening to Radio1 and hearing like , Beyoncé “ Crazy in Love ” next And now it ’ s a little bit different . I feel like England ’ s like in a little bit of a boy - band abyss , and America ’ s a little more open . I ’ m not saying it ’ s completely switched , but America ’ s a little bit more open to , like … you can have a song like “ Latch ” in the Top 10 , which kind of at some point seemed a little bit unheard of . I do n ’ t really know what the secret is . I want to go through a couple of artists you ’ ve collaborated with , and have you tell me something about what it was like working with them . Ghostface ? He ’ s just a legend , right ? I remember when I called him , I played him the “ Ooh Wee ” beat , and he was like “ Yeah , I get it ! It ’ s like some John Travolta Saturday Night Fever shit , right ? ” He just heard the disco strings . But he ’ s like , one of the best ever to write uptempo records like that . And any beat , really . But yeah . Jack White ? Jack White , you know , that was an odd one because you know , he played guitar on the record , and then he did n ’ t like the rap that ended up going [ over it ] . I had to take him off at the last minute . So I ca n ’ t ever technically say like … Jack White definitely recorded guitar on something I did , but I ca n ’ t technically say that we ’ ve sort of ever worked together . I wish . But yes , he makes great Duran Duran ? You know I learned so much from them , both when I was five , and then like , three or four years ago when we worked on their record . They ’ re just like , you know , as far as sonic architecture with great rhythm section , and pop melodies , and kind of out - there lyrics , they ’ re good godparents to have . Musical godparents . Did n ’ t you do a remix for the [ posthumous ] Michael Jackson record [ Xscape ] ? I did n ’ t . I started it , and I was really excited about it , it was a good song , I obviously like , kind of half - finished it lyrically for him . And more and more , as I sort of got into it , I realized that there was something that was n ’ t connecting . And I think in the end I realized I was n ’ t supposed to be working on that song . I was too much of a Michael Jackson fan to keep working on it . I know it ’ s probably hard to sum up shortly , but Amy Winehouse ? I mean , you know , we made Back to Black in like two weeks , so it ’ s hard . I wish I remembered more , because it was such an amazing , creative spurt . But so quick . I remember much more about after , and hanging out and coming to listen to the record and playing her the mixes and that kind of stuff . She came with so many of those songs written , all I had to do was really arrange them . And then “ Back to Black ” and “ Rehab ” were the two that she wrote when we were together Comments Tags Amy Winehouse Bruno Mars | [

http://ew.com/article/2015/04/18/anne-green-gables-star-jonathan-crombie-dies-48/ | Home Article ' Anne of Green Gables ' star Jonathan Crombie dies at 48 By Nina Terrero April 18 , 2015 at 12 : 00 PM EDT Dick Loek / Toronto Star via Getty Images Anne of Green Gables type Book Actor Jonathan Crombie , best known for playing Gilbert Blythe in the Anne of Green Gables films has passed away . He was 48 years old . Crombie died of a brain hemorrhage April 15 in New York City , his sister Carrie told the Canadian Broadcasting Company Saturday . Crombie played the sweet - natured love interest of Anne Shirley ( Megan Follows ) in three television productions , based on author Lucy Maud Montgomery ’ s famous novels , that aired between 1985 and 2000 . “ He was funny , he was sweet , he loved acting , he loved comedy and singing and dancing . As a little kid , he just loved Broadway shows and all of that kind of stuff and would sing and dance in the living room , ” his sister said . Crombie never shied away from the fame associated with the role of Gilbert Blythe . “ I think he was really proud of being Gilbert Blythe and was happy to answer any questions … he really enjoyed that series and was happy , very proud of it — we all were , ” his sister said . Crombie , whose father was former Toronto mayor and Canadian Cabinet minster David Crombie , beat out a number of actors , including 90210 lead Jason Priestley for the part of Gilbert . “ We never screen - tested him , ” Anne of Green Gables producer Kevin Sullivan told the CBC of Crombie , who was just 17 years old when he was cast for the first film in 1985 . “ It was a perfect storm … It just all worked perfectly . ” Crombie — whom Sullivan called “ generous ” and “ kind ” — went on to perform in the Broadway production of Drowsy Chaperone and would later appear in guest roles in a number of television shows , including an episode of The Good Wife that aired in January . His last film , Waiting for Ishta r , was a documentary that he wrote , produced and directed . According to the film ’ s website , the production was slated for release in Canada sometime this year . Crombie financed the film with an Indiegogo campaign , which had raised over $ 17,000 Canadian dollars at the time of its April 25 end date . Crombie told the CBC that her brother was in good health at the time of his death , and added that a “ huge , wonderful celebration of life ” will be held in his memory in the weeks to come .

Even though Thrones showrunners have repeatedly declared they hope to conclude the fantasy hit around the 70 - hour mark , HBO programming president Michael Lombardo for the first time firmly proclaimed the series will go at least eight seasons . “ Seven - seasons - and - out has never been the [ internal ] conversation , ” Lombardo said to critics at the Television Critics Association ’ s press tour Thursday when a reporter asked if the show would end after seven . “ The question is : How much beyond seven are we going to do ? Obviously we ’ re shooting six now , hopefully discussing seven . [ Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are ] feel like there ’ s two more years after six . I would always love for them to change their Lombardo ’ s statement does n ’ t mean the series is officially renewed for eight seasons — the current order is only through next year — but it ’ s the next - best thing . Okay , so what about doing a prequel series , since author George R.R. Martin has created a world with such a lengthy and detailed history ? “ I would be open to anything that Dan and David wanted to do — about Game of Thrones , or any subject matter , ” Lombardo said . “ It really would depend fully on what they wanted to do . I think you ’ re right , there ’ s enormous storytelling to be mined in a prequel , if George and Dan and David decide they want to tackle that . At this point , all the focus is on the next few years of the show . We have n ’ t had any conversations about that at this point . ” Lombardo also defended Thrones from criticisms about the show ’ s violent season 5 content ( Sansa Stark ’ s storyline in particular ) . “ In the pilot episode we see a 7 - year - old boy pushed to seemingly his death from a tower , ” Lombardo said . “ This show has had violence from the first episode . I ca n ’ t speak to any single person ’ s particular taste , but I think the show is phenomenal . It went to 20 million viewers this year , it went up over 1 million viewers from the The president was also asked — of course — if Jon Snow is really dead ( especially since actor Kit Harington has recently been spotted in Belfast , where Thrones is primarily shot ) . Lombardo maintained the same stance as the rest of the show ’ s team . “ Dead is dead is dead , ” he said . “ He be dead . Um , yes . Everything I ’ ve seen , heard and read , Jon Snow is indeed dead . ” Before the panel , HBO also gave fans even more good news : Season 5 will be available on home video next month — much earlier than usual .

http://ew.com/article/2015/12/08/walking-dead-jeffrey-dean-morgan-negan/ | Home Article ' The Walking Dead ' : Jeffrey Dean Morgan on playing Negan - - ' I grew up with a bat in my hands ' By Dalton Ross December 08 , 2015 at 12 : 00 PM EST The Walking Dead type TV Show Genre Drama Horror Thriller Network AMC The Internet exploded when word came out that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be playing The Walking Dead ’ s biggest comic book villain Negan when season 6 returns in February ( although look for Negan to show up near the very end of the season ) . Having already played one psychopath in the Comedian from Watchmen , Morgan seemed like the perfect choice to play the foul - mouthed , barbed - wire - covered - baseball - bat toting Negan . As excited as fans are to see him in the role , the actor himself may be even more excited to carry around that bat ( named Lucille ) . That became clear when Morgan dropped by Entertainment Weekly Radio ( SiriusXM , Channel 105 ) this morning to chat with Jessica Shaw and yours truly about his addition to The Walking Dead universe as well as his charismatic turn as lawyer - turned - investigator Jason Crouse on The Good Wife . While Morgan admitted that continuing after this season on both shows is going to be difficult ( “ We ’ ll see how that turns out . It ’ s gonna be f — ing hard . ” ) , he had plenty to say about his brand new job as AMC ’ s biggest baddie yet . ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY : So how familiar were you with the character of Negan from the comic book when you got the job ? JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN : I ’ m really f — ing excited . I was familiar . I watched the show , one . But two , I ’ ve always had a foot in the comic book world . I grew up with my uncle ’ s comic books at my grandma ’ s house , so I ’ ve always loved my comic book reading . And then that took on a whole new level when I did Watchmen . I go to Comic - Con every year , generally with some project of some sort . So a couple of years ago people started saying , “ Hey , man , you should be Negan in . ” So I started reading the comic books just because I ’ m a fan and I love what Kirkman is doing and so I was very aware of Negan and had read quite a bit of the comic books . So my agent and manager were on the phone and said , “ have offered you this thing , ” but they did n ’ t have any information . They did n ’ t know the character ’ s name . It was all a big secret . And they sort of got halfway through the sentence saying “ We do n ’ t know the character ’ s name , he ’ s the new big bad … ” and I knew immediately who they were talking about . They just got halfway through and I knew immediately who it was . It was no question . I was like , “ Absolutely . We ’ re going to f — ing do it ! ” And that was it . And literally a week later I was in Atlanta talking with the cast and hanging out You brought up and I ’ ve seen shades of Negan in The Comedian . There are some similarities there , right ? Yeah , there is . There ’ s definitely some similarities . Negan is special in a lot of ways and the more kind of digging I do into Negan , the more excited I get . I ca n ’ t tell you the last time I ’ ve been this giddy about doing a role . I think what ’ s there in the comic books and the graphic novels is this foundation of this man and the complexities of who he is . Every time I look at the graphic novel — which in the past few Walking Dead stuff ; and so when I ’ m not memorizing my Good Wife lines and trying to figure that out I ’ ll just grab one of these things and look at it — and I will read and reread and see something different in it each time . Kind of the excitement level of bringing this guy to life is at such a peak right now , I do n ’ t know how I ’ m going to survive till April [ when the show goes back into production ] . How close to the comic are they going to keep the character ? The character itself is going to be as close as humanly possible . The foul language is an issue . Look , it ’ s a speed bump . I ’ m not going to say it ’ s an issue because they ’ re working on it . We ’ re going to push AMC — the plan is to push them as far as they can because it ’ s who Negan is . He uses some colorful language . And I use some colorful language . And reading the comic , it ’ s important . So we ’ ll see where that lands . It ’ s our intention that this character is going to leap I ’ m sure a lot of people want to know if you ’ ve had a chance to meet actor Steven Yeun yet ? I met everybody . I got a chance to say hello to everybody down there . That being said , I do n ’ t know what ’ s going to happen yet .

http://ew.com/article/2016/02/12/jj-feild-turn-season-2-dvd/ | Home Article Turn : Washington Spies : JJ Feild is winning the battle for American hearts and minds Mostly hearts By Jeff Labrecque February 12 , 2016 at 02 : 58 PM EST Antony Platt / AMC Turn : Washington ' s Spies type TV Show Genre Drama Network AMC The star of AMC ’ s Revolutionary War drama , Turn : Washington ’ s Spies , is Jamie Bell , who plays a Long Island farmer turned reluctant patriot named Abraham Woodhull who becomes one of the major players in a New York spy ring that helped the Americans turn the tide of the war . In season 2 , he shared the stage with the austere General George Washington ( Ian Kahn ) and the splashy introduction of soon - to - be - notorious American hero , Benedict Arnold ( Owain Yeoman ) . It ’ s ironic , perhaps , then , that the show ’ s most compelling character is the Americans In season 2 , which arrives on DVD on March 22 , Andre ( JJ Feild ) has settled into occupied Philadelphia — living in Ben Franklin ’ s abandoned mansion , no less — awaiting the inevitable crushing of the colonial rebellion . He combines work and pleasure to pursue Peggy Shippen ( Ksenia Solo ) , a wealthy and beautiful socialite who once flirted with America ’ s boldest and most respected field general , Benedict Arnold . Even while he ’ s falling for Peggy , he ’ s setting the trap to tempt Arnold to betray Andre is a charming fellow , a tribute to the man himself and the actor who brings him to life . The 37 - year - old Feild is an American - born Brit , and there are episodes in season 2 where you ca n ’ t help but root for him , damn the history books . Not only is he more clever than any of his peers , always three steps ahead of superiors and the amateur American spymasters , but he is noble and well - intentioned — the best and the brightest of his generation When season 3 of Turn returns on April 25 , Andre is feeling intense pressure : to crack the Culper ring , to win back Peggy , and to turn a crucial rebel so as to end the war . He ’ s the rare breed who would try to accomplish all three in one fell swoop . ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY : Your John Andre has become one of the great secret weapons of the show . I suspect that the juicy pitch that sold AMC was the story behind Benedict Arnold ’ s treachery . But for viewers and students of history , I feel like the looming tragedy of John Andre is becoming the heart of the story . How was the character initially pitched to you ? JJ FEILD I was actually in Sundance with Austenland of all things , and AMC approached me there . They sent me the script , and in the pilot , Andre did n ’ t have much so I was sort of confused [ about ] what I would do . Then , I simply started the world of research and discovered this incredible man who seemed to be the right man on the wrong side of history . And that ’ s sort of how [ showrunner ] Craig Silverstein pitched it to me . We talked about the man who turned Benedict Arnold and the man who That ’ s very well put : the right man on the wrong side of history . Because Andre ’ s background was not wealthy or noble or elite ; he had a very modest background . Yeah , he was a self - made man . His father was a merchant . I suppose you would say middle class . He had this incredible story where he was sort of shunned at the altar by a woman who was of higher status than he was . She backed out of an engagement and very soon after , he signed up [ for the army ] . He proved himself in the Canadian campaign before moving down to America . In fact , he was a prisoner of war for 18 months — this is before the He ’ s quite the seducer . Yes , he has a way with the ladies . After he died , there were all the houses that he stayed in when he was a prisoner of war that seemed to have a locket of his hair and a drawing of the husband ’ s wife . That ’ s not just a polite house guest . I think he ingratiated himself with just about everyone he could find . Quite a well - known womanizer . I read somewhere , whether it ’ s true or not , that Ian Fleming originally based James Bond on John And not necessarily just women , right ? There ’ s some presumed intimacy in season 2 with his senior officer , with hints of sexual attraction . There ’ s a lot of propaganda , that Andre and Clinton were lovers — a lot of American propaganda . It was always seen as complete propaganda . But what we had fun with was going , “ Well , what could be the truth behind the rumors ? ” There ’ s a ballroom scene where Clinton sort of eyes up some of the younger , prettier male officers , and I think it ’ s a very clever way to hint at a rumor that may or may not be true . But the writers have this At the end of season 2 , things are n ’ t going well for Andre . Monmouth Courthouse backfires and Peggy is in the arms of Benedict Arnold . Where will we find Andre in season 3 ? What ’ s wonderful about where we ’ ve ended up with Andre at the end of 2 and then into the beginning of 3 and through 3 is this is a man who ’ s always in control and plans every minuscule detail . For the first time , he ’ s out of control and he ’ s out of his depth . He ’ s not expecting to , ( A ) fall in love , and , ( B ) make decisions of the heart instead of decisions of his mind . So his judgment is Andre and Robert Rogers are two of my favorite characters . At the end of last season , it feels like these two are now on a collision course . Can I look forward to them as potential adversaries ? Yes , absolutely . It takes awhile . They go off on their separate journeys , but they are interwoven and Rogers is hellbent to seek vengeance on Andre . Craig has talked about extending the show past the revolution and into the baby steps of independence , but obviously your days are numbered . How close are we to getting to [ West Point ] in the autumn of 1780 . Is that part of season 3 or is that still seasons away ? Well , what am I allowed to say ? The end of the war would n ’ t be [ season ] 3 . The end of the war would be 5 . Season 3 is really the Benedict Arnold story . The pinnacle of season 3 , the crescendo is West Point and Arnold , and how Andre is obviously the mastermind of it . I ca n ’ t say any more than that , but I think you can figure that out . Are you familiar with MajorAndreMonday No . [ Laughs ] What is that On Mondays after the show , there are lots of fans of John Andre and of yourself who post the most handsome picture from that Sunday ’ s episode . Wow . I ’ m scared to join Twitter and Facebook because I think the adding of any more narcissism for an actor would cause an actor ’ s brain to explode . I do n ’ t get social media . It ’ s completely bizarre . But I ’ m going to be a complete hypocrite and dive into # MajorAndreMonday .

http://ew.com/article/2016/03/28/death-superman-returns/ | Home Article Death of Superman returns Two decades ago , Doomsday was a boondoggle . Now he ' s back . How did this happen ? By Darren Franich March 28 , 2016 at 12 : 00 PM EDT Superman died 24 years ago . The DC Comics braintrust decided to kill Superman in late 1992 , in a seven - part saga that ran through all four monthly Superman comic books – plus a brief detour into the Justice League of America series , at the time home to C - list backbenchers like Booster Gold and Guy Gardner and Blue Beetle . Superman ’ s death was not a big twist . It was publicized ahead of time . I know this , because I started collecting Superman comic books in 1992 , because I had heard that Superman was dying . I was seven . There was no Internet in my house . How did I know they were killing Superman ? The radio ? The seven - part saga was called “ Doomsday ! ” It was named for the new bad guy , who was tasked with the killing of Superman . It might sound kind of weird , the idea of suddenly introducing a brand new villain and then having that brand new villain kill the most well - known superhero of all time a month and a half later . The theory was , maybe , that none of Superman ’ s existing villains were really bad enough to actually kill Superman . Or maybe DC Comics knew that announcing The Death of Superman would bring in some new readers – and maybe they did n ’ t want those readers to get hung up on any of those weird villains Superman had been fighting . So we meet a strange and formless creature , held captive in some techno - subterranic prison . You know how , in Lost season 1 , the Hatch could ’ ve been a science experiment or an alien spaceship or a dimensional portal ? That ’ s whence came Doomsday , it seemed . He / it emerged into the world covered head - to - toe in ugly prison green with a pair of red goggles . Squidley tentacles shackled Doomsday , so that only the creature ’ s left arm was free . With one hand tied behind his back , Doomsday natural disaster ’ d his way across America . He tore apart the Justice League . He put Blue The Justice League counterattacked with a lot of energy beams . By which I mean : The superheroine named Fire fired green fire , and the superhero named Bloodwynde fired bloody wind , and Superman fired heat vision , and Guy Gardner fired Green Lantern rays , and Booster Gold was there , too . All these energy beams were for naught . They just freed Doomsday ’ s right arm . Then Doomsday grabbed Booster Gold , and I have an oddly vivid memory of what happened next : DC Comics Everything stupid and powerful about the Death of Superman story arc is right there in eight panels , written and drawn by Dan Jurgens , a man who just received a “ Special Thanks ” at the end of the obnoxious new superfilm Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . Booster Gold ’ s first lines could ’ ve come from a 1950s adventure . Pause to imagine the enunciation by a blandsome Roger Corman protagonist . “ With … Power Cells Gone I ’ m in DEEP Trouble ! Force Field — GONE ! Doomsday does n ’ t do enunciation . The sheer brutality of his movements is n ’ t just a direct assault on Booster ’ s body ; it ’ s an assault on his whole paradigm . It ’ s like watching a character from FernGully fight The Mountain from Game of Thrones . Notice how Doomsday ’ s lone laughs are treated as sound effects , not dialogue . Notice how , by the end , Booster Gold ca n ’ t even vocalize his pain . He might be dead . The Death of Superman story arc is stupid , really , for a number of reasons . Doomsday is a nonsense creation . You would think that part of the fun of killing Superman would be seeing how the writers come up with an elaborate methodology for circumventing all his superpowers . But Doomsday is just a punchkiller with stabby skin . A lot of people say that Superman does n ’ t have any “ good ” villains , but that ’ s just bro - talk . Yes , Brainiac is a green guy who thinks hard . Because the truth is that Doomsday is sillier than any of those weirdo villains . He had no motivation : He just loved killin ’ . And he had no real design : Muscles and red goggles , and then just muscles . Jurgens also wrote and illustrated Superman # 75 , where the actual death happened . It is kind of beautiful , and seared in my brain . The whole issue is just one - page splash pages , each one a tableau of trauma – Superman kissing Lois Lane goodbye , Superman and Doomsday killing each other at the same precise moment . The same month DC Comics killed Superman , they introduced Bane , the character who would go on to break Batman ’ s back . Bane , also , was muscles and red goggle eyes . He had more motivation than Doomsday , which actually made him a much lamer character . Doomsday was interesting only because he was unknowable . Conversely , in Batman ’ s version of the Superman # 75 fight , Bane gives a speech to Batman , then beats him up , then gives another speech . I ’ m going to say something that maybe you will disagree with , but : Nobody likes Doomsday , and nobody likes Bane . These are two characters who were introduced with the same basic idea : To make a really , really , really , really bad guy , someone much scarier than the Brainiac - Riddler continuum of comic book rogues . They are both draped in a very ’ 90s notion of bad itude . They kill people . They do n ’ t have funny schticks . They do n ’ t have any schtick . Bane is a ‘ roidhead : Does that count as a character trait ? What is there to hold onto , with characters like this ? They do n ’ t have personalities . They do n ’ t have intriguing weaknesses , or unique strengths . Maybe , if you like Doomsday and Bane , you like them because they have none of those things . They are n ’ t tormented psycho - trauma maniacs with cultgangs , like most Batman bad guys . They are n ’ t mad - scientist alien - ish pranksters , like Superman villains tend to be . They are EVIL . You do n ’ t have to overthink them . You can just enjoy watching them get beaten up . Or maybe you can just enjoy watching them beat people up . I collected every issue of the Death of Superman . And I stuck with Superman comics for years : Through the initial “ resurrection ” of Superman in four different collectible bodies – Superman as a Cyborg ! Superman as a moody teenager with an earring ! – and then the longhair years . I know , logically , as a grown man , that the Death of Superman was just a cheap stunt , designed to drive up sales . I know that the cheap stunt worked : That # 75 sold out immediately . And “ sold out ” is a phrase with multiple meanings in this sense . Yes , # 75 sold well . But did it really earn those sales ? Could n ’ t you argue that killing Superman was one of the all - time boondoggles ? Maybe the formlessness of Doomsday is a joke : An admission that nothing about how Superman died really mattered . The Death of Superman was supposed to appeal to the big collectors ’ market , like everything else from that craven era . A few years later , that market dried right up . Somehow , though , I have to hold two thoughts in my head . First : The Death of Superman is one of the worst moments in the cultural history of comic books , a cheap publicity ploy that earned lots of money only by creating a whole foundation for lame spectacle that practically ended the idea of Comic Books as a going concern . Second : The Death of Superman got me into comic books . And it taught me how to read comics . Ultimately , it affected what I thought comics were supposed to be . Like , up in the first paragraph of this essay , I referred to Booster Gold and Guy Gardner and Blue Beetle as “ C - list backbenchers . ” But years later , I went back and read the Justice League run by J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen and Kevin Maguire ( and various others . ) It ’ s common now to joke about lame DC superheroes , because we ’ re all in this weird vortex where lots of people who never read comic books before 1992 think watching a couple Christopher Nolan movies and knowing who Deadpool is equals coinnoisseurship . But the bountiful humanity of the DeMateis / Giffen / Maguire Justice League puts any easy cynicism to shame . Mister Miracle and Big Barda get into marital spats , and the Atom has a very Office - style chat with Martian Manhunter about accidentally blowing up the security system , and Guy Gardner ca n ’ t find his darn power ring A few years later , a lot of those characters would just be cannon fodder for Doomsday . At the time , this did not strike me as a problem . I was seven . What the hell did I know ? – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – A strange postscript on the Doomsday arc . A couple years later , after Superman came back to life , there was a sequel miniseries , also written and drawn by Jurgens ( with an assist from Brett Breeding . ) The series was called Superman / Doomsday : Hunter / Prey , which is still not as dumb - looking as Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . A lot of that miniseries is throwaway , unless you love watching Darkseid stand around . But Hunter / Prey tells a memorable story . It turns out that , hundreds of thousands of years ago , on Krypton , a gang of scientists performed an experiment . They birthed a vaguely human - ish child in a laboratory , and released that child into the harsh landscape of Krypton , rendered by Jurgens as a prehistoric - but - also - postapocalyptic hellscape of monsters and poison air . The baby died : Aspyxiation , or maybe the heat . The scientists found the child ’ s remains , and cloned them into a new baby , and released The baby - thing evolved with every iteration . It could survive the landscape , but then it would be killed by the beasts and predators roaming the land . Every time , the creature came back stronger . It no longer required food , or sustenance : The sun itself provided it with power . Rapid evolution produced a creature who could always adapt to avoid threats . If the thing drowned , its next iteration would have gills . If it died burning , the next iteration would have skin impervious to fire . ( Imagine that sequence The end result of all of this , naturally , is Doomsday , the endlessly adaptive killing machine . And , as you might expect , when Doomsday had achieved the pinnacle of his evolution , he decided to kill everything . The trauma of his infinite mortality had driven him insane . Or maybe “ insane ” is too simple a term . We know absolute power corrupts absolutely , and this vision of Doomsday suggested something like what would happen if you gave infinite superpowers to a one - day - old baby , a creature without even In hindsight , I wonder if this origin story was a bit of a gag , an embedded meta - joke by Jurgens . Superheroes die and come back to life all the time . That death - rebirth cycle is Doomsday ’ s whole origin story . Every death makes Doomsday stronger , but it also makes him lesser : Reducing him to his bare essentials , removing any hope of personality or humanity . Strangely , when you look at this origin story now , you are hit by a rather obvious realization : Doomsday is , first and foremost , a victim . In a more hopeful story , or in a framework that allowed some sort of empathy , Superman might realize that . That would n ’ t make Doomsday not an evil character – it would make him a character . But in the comic books , Doomsday was always just a thing . You did n ’ t need to feel any empathy for him . ( Was it even a him ? ) Doomsday was The Other : Terrorist , communist , anarchist , pick your symbolic archetype . Who weeps for Doomsday ? – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – For some bizarre reason , two of the lamest supervillains in the history of comic books have taken center stage in two of the biggest superhero movies ever . Bane was in The Dark Knight Rises , and now Doomsday is in . I do n ’ t love Dark Knight Rises – who does ? – but you have to respect that movie for so badly wanting Bane to be something . He gives speeches that vibe proletariat and he preaches a gospel of self - actualized class warfare . The film ca n ’ t really commit to any of Bane ’ s big ideas , which is too bad . Bane attacks the stock market and declares war on the one percent . Imagine a movie where socioeconomic revolution was really Bane ’ s goal . Would n ’ t that put Batman in a weird place ? Batman is a billionaire industrialist aristocrat who fights criminals . But what if Bane advocated something like the argument espoused by The Wire : That crime itself is a symptom of a poverty - stricken society , that all those criminals getting their heads non - lethally bashed in by Batman are never going to “ go straight , ” because the system itself is against them ? Does n ’ t Batman look like kind of a sicko , in this context : A rich dude who gets off on beating up poor people , always telling himself it ’ s for a good cause ? But Dark Knight Rises is maybe way less interested in any of its themes than we are . In the end , Bane is just the cover for a madwoman on a vengeance kick . Doomsday returns in , with a new , tangled , and ludicrous origin story that feels like a hilarious rebuke of anyone who did n ’ t like Man of Steel . “ What ’ s that ? ” the film seems to say . “ You did n ’ t like General Zod ? You thought it was silly that the last movie ended with a half - hour punchfight through Metropolis ? Well , ZOD ’ S BACK , BITCHES , AND NOW HE ’ S GOT SPIKES ! ! ! ! Somewhere in the middle of hour 2 of BvS , Lex Luthor takes Zod ’ s corpse into a Kryptonian spaceship , and puts him in a squidwomb Resurrection Matrix , and also adds his own blood , for flavoring . The Kryptonian Regeneration Matrix has a hilariously obvious history in comic books . When they killed Superman , they put him in the Matrix to bring him back to life . Ditto Superboy , a separate character , who also died , and was also reborn via Matrix . The movie adds in the idea that the Krypton Resurrection technology can also turn Michael Shannon into a big gray adaptoid , which only makes sense if we agree that nothing has to make sense , that Lex Luthor can have an email full of teaser videos of spinoff superheroes , and that Batman can then forward that email to Wonder Woman , who was looking for a hundred - year - old picture of herself because ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Question for the crowd : Who wanted Doomsday to be in this movie ? Is there someone out there who has been waiting two decades to see this not - super - memorable character transformed into a digital special effect ? Or is Doomsday in Batman v Superman supposed to appeal , specifically , to people who do n ’ t know the comic books – to people who do n ’ t remember that Superman died over twenty years ago , doing pretty much the same thing he ’ s doing now ? And why is it that , over two decades later , no one involved in making Superman stories has figured out an actual smart way for Superman to stop Doomsday ? ( Are n ’ t spears supposed to be thrown ? ) Poor , unloved Doomsday . If this is your first time experiencing the character , he ’ s just a thing who appears , something to cause destruction . There ’ s none of the real random wildness that powered the original Death of Superman story . And so if you care about comic book history , you have to wince at how he just gets kind of plugged into a story that ’ s not really about him . To produce the final act of Batman v Superman , director Zack Snyder and credited writers Chris Terrio and David S . Goyer mashed together the ending of The Death of Superman with a variation of the ending of The Dark Knight Returns . In the comic books , Doomsday was a force of nature , a mystery steadily revealed . In the movie , he ’ s a thing to punch towards . Superman stayed dead for several months in 1993 ; his casket ’ s already vibrating at the end of . That maybe reflects the greater billion - dollar commercial anxieties underpinning . There are teases for spinoffs , teases for characters we wo n ’ t meet for years . Wonder Woman does nothing of note in the movie – She slices Doomsday ’ s kneecaps ! She wants her photograph ! – and so she is less a true character than an embedded Product Placement . In one of Gal Gadot ’ s five or six scenes , she ’ s onboard a TURKISH AIRLINES plane : Product placement piled on top of product placement . Fly Turkish ! Watch Wonder Woman ! ! ! ! ! ! And so maybe it makes sense that brings back Doomsday . The character was never designed to be interesting , or even particularly original . He was supposed to bring in eyeballs . He was a comic book creation designed to destroy everything that used to define comic books . No more speeches by nice - guy heroes , no more goofy dialogue from wacky affectation - laden villains , no more plots , no more characters . There are infinitely better Superman stories . Heck , there are better “ Death of Superman ” stories . All - Star Superman sees the hero slowly dying from radiation poisoning , grappling with the meaning of his final days . “ Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow ” looks back on another version of his final days . Zack Snyder killed Jimmy Olsen , but Alan Moore got there first But most great Superman stories depend on us , the readers , caring about Superman as a human being , with history , and emotions , and a supporting cast . Alan Moore let Jimmy Olsen go down fighting . introduces Jimmy Olsen just long enough to put a bullet in his head . – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – I guess that I enjoyed the Death of Superman when I was seven . DC Comics clearly made a lot of money off of me . Rereading it now , I do n ’ t think it particularly works . But now , in 2016 , any popular element of mainstream culture that you enjoyed when you were a kid gets sanctified with the glow of Internet nostalgia . Full House was great ! ( It was lame , but we were too young to notice . ) Ghostbusters was great ! ( Well , the first movie was , but we all remember the slime , right ? ) Independence Day was great ! ( ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) The actual fact of this stuff is less important than your memory of it . What people choose to remember is all the triumphantly nice and goofy and empty - headed and kid - friendly stuff : Jurassic Park over Natural Born Killers , boy - band pop over grunge rock , Friends over Seinfeld . ( I guess you ca n ’ t really have nostalgia for Natural Born Killers ; I guess we ’ re living in it . ) Over at Vulture , Adam Sternbergh just wrote an investigation into youth culture ’ s renewed fascination with Friends , which used to be a well - crafted sitcom and is now a utopian vision of pre - Recession apartmental affordability and romance pre - Tinder and a heteronormative deracinated society where Phoebe ’ s poverty counts as an affectation . Over at E ! Online , Jenna Mullins talked to a psychology professor about the rise of ’ 90s nostalgia . “ Every generation seems to long for their childhood and revels in the nostalgia of the pop culture of that time , ” says the professor . “ Nostalgia is a powerful connection to a time when things at least seemed more innocent and simple . ” The irony , in this context , is that superhero comic books of the ’ 90s do n ’ t seem particularly innocent . Superman died . Batman was broken . Green Lantern killed all the other Green Lanterns . Aquaman grew a beard . ( It was n ’ t just DC , by the way : Spider - Man was a clone the whole time ! ) Somehow , two of those moments – attention - grabbing Events designed as publicity ploys , with big important transgressive Moments which ultimately were n ’ t transgressive nor really all But there is a weird innocence to Doomsday , although “ simple ” is the more operative word . You would think that the key to telling a new Superman story would be coming up with something bold , something new , something wild . This is the anxiety of influence that seems to power a writer like Grant Morrison ; his most recent run on Superman ended with a fifth - dimensional being attacking Superman at several different moments at time , which is actually more confusing than it sounds . But the financial success of Doomsday offers a strong counterargument . Maybe all you need to do is build someone to punch Superman better . Maybe superheroes do n ’ t have to symbolize anything . Maybe they do n ’ t even need to be heroes . One of the weirdest things about is that Batman does n ’ t seem to particularly notice or care that Superman saves people ’ s lives – possibly because this Batman does n ’ t even pay lip service to caring about killing people . Remarkably , this vision of Batman is actually powers - of - ten more cynical than the Batman in Dark Knight Returns , who spends all of issue 3 agonizing over the possibility of killing the Joker and still does n ’ t ever actually kill the Joker So is something new , maybe : Nostalgia for cynicism . They brought back Doomsday just so he could die again . People bought it the first time . We ’ re buying it now . | [

http://ew.com/recap/glee-season-four-episode-fourteen-rachel-pregnant/ | Home Article Glee recap : Rachel is pregnant ? ! A ton of surprising hookups happen , Will and Emma ’ s wedding does not . Plus : Rachel is [ spoiler alert ! ] By Erin Strecker February 15 , 2013 at 06 : 02 AM EST Adam Rose / Fox Glee S4 E14 type TV Show Genre Comedy Music Network Fox Oh . My . God . What a Valentine ’ s Day for our Glee crew . It seemed like there was a big bombshell every couple of minutes last night : Emma Runaway Bride ’ d her wedding ! Pretty much all the characters had sex with their exes ! And – biggest of all – Rachel is probably pregnant . Dun dun dunnn Much like all of you , I ’ m freaking out . Maybe I was in a haze thinking about all the other characters suddenly getting together at what turned out to be the social event of the season for Lima , but I did not see that pregnancy bombshell coming , even though the Glee team totally Chekhov gunned us what with Rachel catching the bouquet in the first act ( big life change ! ) and all the sex in the second act . But honestly , so much craziness went down last night that prior to the last - minute reveal , it would have been a game - changing episode regardless … just not for the reasons we might have thought going in ( Emma did n ’ t become Mrs . Schuester after all ) . Let ’ s dive in from the beginning . After Finn and Emma ’ s surprise kiss last week , Finn was feeling incredibly guilty and Emma was trying to brush it off and move forward with the wedding . But she was continuing to freak out , and even Will ’ s reappearance ( Welcome back , Schuester ! ) could n ’ t calm her down . So it should n ’ t have been any surprise when she ditched the wedding before her big walk down the aisle , leading Sue ( in a matching wedding dress ) to book it down the aisle and inform And go on it did . After starting things off on the right foot in the back of a car ( just bros helping bros ! ) , Kurt and Blaine were all over each other all night long , whether that meant singing a swoon - worthy , perfectly choreographed duet at the reception , dancing to a ballad , or hooking up in a hotel room upstairs ! Happy Valentine ’ s Day to us all , Klaine fans . After they had hooked up , how adorable did Blaine look when he gave his little speech about NEXT : Quinn and Santana ! ? ! ? ! I also enjoyed that Kurt finally shut down the Tina crazy train . He was direct at the reception : “ You ’ re all hagged out . You ’ re in love with Blaine and it ’ s creepy . STOP . ” When Tina admitted to rubbing vaporizing cream on Blaine ’ s chest while Blaine was asleep , Kurt was just the right amount of creeped out , which was to say , a ton . “ Did you vapor - rape my ex - boyfriend ? Do n ’ t walk away from me , Tina Also figuring out a new chapter ? Finn and Rachel . Tons of fans are pulling for those two crazy kids and it was easy to see why last night . Early in the episode , Finn confessed to Rachel about the Emma kiss , and she was supportive about not saying anything and just being there for Emma and Will . After the non - wedding , Rachel caught the bouquet , and Finn and Rachel had a lovely — and kind of sexy , right ? – heart - to - heart where Finn gave a sweet speech Sex and the City - esque ” thing Rachel had going on with Brody , Finn did n ’ t care . You could tell Rachel was totally into his proclamation , and also that at least part of her realized it was completely true . Cut to the two of them heading up to a hotel room and Rachel taking off her dress . But even Klaine and Finchel briefly getting together were n ’ t the only relationship bombshells happening at that wedding . It seemed like all of McKinley celebrated a post - high school tradition as old as time . They looked at their former paramours and thought , “ Eh . Might as well , ” and booked it to the nearest bedroom , which , happily for them , was right upstairs . I would have believed that maybe Finn and Rachel and Kurt and Blaine would hook up again , but Quinn and Santana did as well . NEXT : Rachel gets a bombshell Also grabbing a hotel room ? Artie and Emma ’ s niece ( Glee Project 2 runner up Ali Stroker ) and – almost – Jake and Marley . Jake spent the hour giving Marley sweet Valentine ’ s Day gifts thought up by Ryder , who is definitely still 100 % in love with Marley . Marley seemed to enjoy all the attention Jake was giving her , but at the end of the episode – after Marley told Jake she was n ’ t ready to have sex with him – we discovered that Marley knew Ryder was helping Jake out with the presents . She thanked him , which was sweet , but Back to the moment of the hour : After Finn and Rachel hooked up , Rachel headed back to New York and a Valentine ’ s - themed decorated apartment courtesy of Brody . The two talked and Brody asked her if she ’ d seen Finn . She said that Finn was “ fine , ” and Brody thanked her for being honest . She asked him what he ’ d been up to , and he told her nothing . But we saw a flashback that had him walking out of a hotel room counting a wad of Which is bad news for Rachel because she is probably carrying his child . The ending was a bit vague timeline - wise because the show ’ s final moments involved the McKinley kids singing “ Anything Could Happen ” ( timely ! ) for Finn and Schu , while back in New York Rachel flipped through a calendar and realized she might be pregnant . The final moment had Rachel sitting in the bathroom alone taking a pregnancy test , and then looking at the result with an emotion that was pretty far from joy . So it ’ That said , I ca n ’ t wait to see how this all plays out . Right now , my guess is that she is pregnant and it ’ s Brody ’ s kid , but that she ’ s going to soon find out he ’ s not that great of a guy , break up with him and then … who knows ? Will Finn come to New York to help her through it all ? Will is back running the Glee club , so perhaps now is the time for Finn to make a change . NEXT : Musical grades and top lines Musical Grades : Anything Could Happen ( Original by Ellie Goulding ) : The original is synonymous with the Girls trailer at this point , but this similar - sounding arrangement was still a ton of fun … even if it was a prelude to a bombshell . B+ Getting Married Today ( Original from Company : What fun ! Why do n ’ t we get more Emma numbers ? This duet worked perfectly in the context of the story , and a Will / Emma duet – even if they ’ re not in the same place – was a nice treat . B+ Just Ca n ’ t Get Enough ( Original by Depeche Mode ) : New rule : If you sound this good together , you stay together . Did you hear that , Blaine and Kurt ? A We ’ ve Got Tonight ( Original by Bob Seger , although the site credits Rogers & Easton ) : Same rule , different couple . Always sing duets together , please . A You ’ re All I Need To Get By ( Original by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell ) : Cue the boys ! With lead vocals by Jake and backup by the rest of the men , Marley had a Valentine ’ s Day worth singing about . The harmonies were cute , the dancing moves sweet and the number even ended in a kiss . B Top Lines : “ All of you glee kids have dated so incestuously I ca n ’ t even remember who can tolerate who any more . ” – Emma – and this was before Santana and Quinn hooked up ! “ This is just bros helping bros . ” – Blaine to Kurt while making out in the back of a car . I want this phrase to take off . “ To get back at Will Schuester for handing a teaching position to a flabby 19 - year - old . ” – Sue , explaining why she was wearing a wedding dress that was exactly the same as Emma ’ s . “ She ’ s just a sophomore and she ’ s still getting over her eating disorder . ” – Ryder to Jake about why he should n ’ t expect to have sex with Marley that night “ I ’ ve never slow danced with a girl before . I like it . ” – Quinn to Santana . And then they did more than slow dance ! “ Mystery solved . Hagatha Christie ! I ’ m going to be a third wheel for the rest of my life . ” – Tina . Happy Valentine ’ s Day to us all ! Alright . I ’ ve got to hear what you all thought about all that was happening last night . Which couple are you most hoping gets back together ? Rachel ’ s pregnant ! ? ! ? Is Brody the father ? What will Finn say ? Is anyone more concerned about the Jake / Ryder / Marley triangle ? Anyone else crossing their fingers that now that we got Ali Stroker on the show we might get Aylin as well ? Will Schu be able to find Emma ? What ’ s she going to tell him ?

And , let me be clear , this is no dig at Sutton Foster — she is a beautiful woman and a great actress . But it ’ s hard to fathom , given both her character ’ s maturity and appearance , that no one in her sham life has n ’ t even questioned her alleged age . That ’ s also part of the fun of the show , though , and I ’ m happy to roll with those punches . But tonight ’ s deus ex machina twist involving Thad ?

Empirical Publishing is making preparations for the release of the fantasy series ’ final volume , and the office is frantic .

But she soldiers through until Moore makes one too many inappropriate propositions , and she politely excuses herself to the bathroom . As she sits , dejected , who should walk up but Caitlin , who tracked her location using Liza ’ s own tablet . Liza also gets consolation from Charles , who finally does his job as her boss and rescues her from Moore ’ s clutches for a post - fete drink .

independent clauses thats all there is to it Lets break down a couple complex sentence examples into its parts Independent and Dependent Clauses Lets start with an independent clause one that can

one that does not fully express an idea While Katie sipped on her cappuccino Although this sentence contains a subject Katie and a verb sipped its not a complete thought we still need more information Therefore its not a complete sentence When an independent and a dependent clause join together to form a complex sentence they can go in either order Heres an example where the independent clause comes first I was snippy with him because I was running late for work Heres an example where the dependent clause comes first Because I was running late for work I was snippy with him To connect

http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-antonyms.html | Home Reference Examples Examples of Antonyms Examples of Antonyms 5th grade 6th grade 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade Elementary School Middle School High School College Antonyms are words that have contrasting , or opposite , meanings . Like so much of the English language , " antonym " is rooted in the Greek language . The Greek word anti means opposite , while onym means name . Opposite name - that makes sense ! Since the English language is so complex , people may disagree about which words truly have opposite meanings . With the examples of antonyms listed below , we try to clear that up and offer some tactics for choosing the most appropriate word every time . Types of Antonyms You may be interested to know that there are three different kinds of antonyms . Let ' s take a look at each one : Complementary : Complementary antonyms have no middle ground . Examples include : boy - girl , off - on , night - day , entrance - exit , exterior - interior , true - false , dead - alive , push - pull , pass - fail Relational : These are similar to complementary antonyms , except that both must exist for them to be antonyms of each other . Check out these examples : above - below , doctor - patient , husband - wife , servant - master , borrow - lend , give - receive , predator - prey , buy - sell , instructor - pupil Graded : These antonyms deal with levels of comparison and they can be two words on a scale . Many are relative terms , which can be interpreted differently by different people . Examples include : young - elderly , hard - easy , happy - wistful , wise - foolish , fat - slim , warm - cool , early - late , fast - slow , dark - pale Add a Prefix to Create an Antonym Sometimes , you do n ' t need to search for another word entirely . It ' s possible to create an antonym simply by adding a prefix to the word . Some examples of antonyms created by adding the prefix dis - are : Agree → disagree Appear → disappear Belief → disbelief Honest → dishonest Adding the prefix in - can make the following opposites : Tolerant → intolerant Decent → indecent Discreet → indiscreet Excusable → inexcusable Using the prefix mis - create antonyms like : Behave → misbehave Interpret → misinterpret Lead → mislead Trust → mistrust Examples of antonyms made by adding the prefix un - are : Likely → unlikely Able → unable Fortunate → unfortunate Forgiving → unforgiving By adding the prefix non - you can make these antonyms : Entity → nonentity Conformist → nonconformist Payment → nonpayment Sense → nonsense Synonyms and Antonyms A synonym is basically the opposite of an antonym . It is a word that means the same , or almost the same , as another word . They help us avoid repetition in our speech and writing and expand our vocabulary . Synonyms and antonyms are used every day by teachers , students , writers , editors , poets , and songwriters to add variety to writing . Use Your Thesaurus If you still have n ' t found find the perfect antonym , a thesaurus can be your best friend . Make use of YourDictionary ' s Thesaurus . This reference tool will offer you a plethora of related words , plus you can see the word used in a sentence , and any related articles to the term .

http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-free-verse-poems.html | Home Reference Examples Examples of Free Verse Poems Examples of Free Verse Poems 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade Middle School High School College Free verse poems will have no set meter , which is the rhythm of the words , no rhyme scheme , or any particular structure . Some poets would find this liberating , being able to whimsically change your mind , while others feel like they could not do a good job in that manner . Robert Frost commented that writing free verse was like " playing tennis without a net . " Free Verse Poems : No Rules Free verse poems do not follow the rules , and have no rhyme or rhythm ; but they are still an artistic expression . They are sometimes thought to be a modern form of poetry ; but , the free verse types of poem have been around for hundreds of years . Following are examples of free verse poems : After the Sea - Ship by Walt Whitman After the Sea - Ship - after the whistling winds ; After the white - gray sails , taut to their spars and ropes , Below , a myriad , myriad waves , hastening , lifting up their necks , Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship : Waves of the ocean , bubbling and gurgling , blithely prying , Waves , undulating waves - liquid , uneven , emulous waves , Toward that whirling current , laughing and buoyant , with curves , Where the great Vessel , sailing and tacking , displaced the surface ; Fog by Carl Sandburg The fog comes on little cat feet . It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on . Free Verse by Robert Graves I now delight In spite Of the might And the right Of classic tradition , In writing And reciting Straight ahead , Without let or omission , Just any little rhyme In any little time That runs in my head ; Because , I ' ve said , My rhymes no longer shall stand arrayed Like Prussian soldiers on parade That march , Stiff as starch , Foot to foot , Boot to boot , Blade to blade , Button to button , Cheeks and chops and chins like mutton . No ! No ! My rhymes must go Turn ' ee , twist ' ee , Twinkling , frosty , Will - o ' - the - wisp - like , misty ; Feelings , Now by Katherine Foreman Some kind of attraction that is neither Animal , vegetable , nor mineral , a power not Solar , fusion , or magnetic And it is all in my head that I could see into his And find myself sitting there . Washed Away by Katherine Foreman Nothing ' s changed except me and the facts And the sadness I did n ' t mean to start . But it feels different now you ' ve said It ' s wrong , and I still ca n ' t see your point . And I think as water runs over my hands that That ' s really all there is or can be . The gold is wearing off the infamous ring And something wears away from around my heart . After the Sea - Ship by Walt Whitman After the Sea - Ship - after the whistling winds ; After the white - gray sails , taut to their spars and ropes , Below , a myriad , myriad waves , hastening , lifting up their necks , Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship . Little Father by Li - Young Lee I buried my father in my heart . Now he grows in me , my strange son , My little root who wo n ' t drink milk , Little pale foot sunk in unheard - of night , Little clock spring newly wet In the fire , little grape , parent to the future Wine , a son the fruit of his own son , Little father I ransom with my life . Winter Poem by Nikki Giovanni once a snowflake fell on my brow and i loved it so much and i kissed it and it was happy and called its cousins and brothers and a web of snow engulfed me then i reached to love them all and i squeezed them and they became a spring rain and i stood perfectly still and was a flower Disappointments by Vivian Gilbert Zabel Every life has a room where memories are stored : A box of special occasions here , Shelves of shared laughter there . But back in the shadows Lurks a trunk locked tight , Not to be opened and searched . There hide disappointments Which darken every heart . Fantasy or Life by Vivian Gilbert Zabel So often you say you love me , Yet you seemingly do n ' t know I can not live in fantasy ' s fog , Always in the blurred drug of dreams . I need the clear , crisp light Found in reality ' s realm of day , Not the darkness of mere existence . Samson Agonistes by Milton But patience is more oft the exercise Of Saints , the trial of their fortitude , Making them each his own Deliver , And Victor over all That tyranny or fortune can inflict . Poetry Genres Poetry can be classified into three types : lyric , narrative , and dramatic . An explanation and examples will be offered for each type . Lyric Poetry Lyric poetry deals with emotions and is written in a song - like way . Two types of lyric poetry are odes and sonnets . Well - known authors of lyric poetry include : Christine de Pizan Teresa of Ávila Antonio Machado T . S . Eliot Shakespeare Sonnets fall into two types ; the Italian sonnet and the English , or Shakespearian sonnet . Poets of the lyric style use words that express their feelings , perceptions , and moods . An excerpt from Shakespeare ' s Sonnet Number 18 follows : " Shall I compare thee to a summer ' s day ? Thou art more lovely and more temperate : Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May , And summer ' s lease hath all too short a date : " Narrative Poetry In narrative poetry a story is told about societies , cultures , and heroes . Epic poems are very long , many times covering years of events ; and ballads are another type of narrative poem . Authors of note include : Geoffrey Chaucer Edgar Allan Poe Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Here is an excerpt from Hiawatha by Longfellow : " On the shore stood Hiawatha , Turned and waved his hand at parting ; On the clear and luminous water Launched his birch canoe for sailing , From the pebbles of the margin Shoved it forth into the water ; Whispered to it , " Westward ! westward ! " And with speed it darted forward . " Dramatic Poetry Dramatic poetry is written in verse and is usually meant to be recited . It tells a story or describes an event in a dramatic and interesting way . Poets of note include : Shakespeare Ben Jonson Christopher Marlowe Rudyard Kipling Following is an excerpt from Kipling ' s The Law of the Jungle " Wash daily from nose - tip to tail - tip ; drink deeply , but never too deep ; And remember the night is for hunting , and forget not the day is for sleep . The Jackal may follow the Tiger , but , Cub , when thy whiskers are grown , Remember the Wolf is a Hunter - - go forth and get food of thine own . Keep peace withe Lords of the Jungle - - the Tiger , the Panther , and Bear . And trouble not Hathi the Silent , and mock not the Free verse poems could be any of these types of poetry or even a combination of any of them .

She stands unhappy , hopeless and alone . ) How long must I stand , as if in the gallows Open to the scrutiny of an unsympathetic public ? My honour ; overshadowed by the suspicion of dark clouds ( pause ) How silence has replaced my roar Rain : You spit upon my face - how dare you !

http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-imagery.html | Home Reference Examples Examples of Imagery Examples of Imagery 5th grade 6th grade 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade Elementary School Middle School High School College What ' s your favorite part about reading ? Is it that you ' re transported to foreign lands from your couch ? Or , do you like meeting new people in the form of fictional characters ? Either way , part of the magic of reading is the imagery that our favorite authors spark out of thin air . With the right words and the proper literary techniques , images are painted in our minds . It ' s a kind of magic , really . So , let ' s explore some examples of imagery and see how many new worlds await us . Imagery in Literature Masterful writers can draft an image on paper and set it before the reader in three - dimensional charm . All of a sudden , we ' re transported to a thatched - roof cottage with blazing embers crackling in the fire . Or , maybe we ' re in a futuristic world aboard stainless steel alien aircrafts . Writing is a true talent because it does n ' t require a big screen to promote an image . Let ' s take a look at some of the masters in literature . Great Expectations , Charles Dickens Pip , the hero of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens , clearly paints a wet and soggy scene . Not only was he soaked down to the bone , but he had to struggle through the fog that made things invisible for a time . It was a rimy morning , and very damp . I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window … Now , I saw the damp lying on the bare hedges and spare grass … On every rail and gate , wet lay clammy ; and the marsh - mist was so thick , that the wooden finger on the post directing people to our village - a direction which they never accepted , for they never came there - was invisible to me until I was quite close under it . Harry Potter and the Sorcerer ' s Stone , J.K. Rowling No one can deny J.K. Rowling is a master of imagery . She created entire worlds that burst off the pages . In this example from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer ' s Stone , Neville is describing the first time he performed magic . We travel with him through this extreme scene , from his dangling out a window to his joy in pleasing his family members . Great Uncle Algie came round for dinner , and he was hanging me out of an upstairs window by my ankles when my Great Auntie Enid offered him a meringue and he accidentally let go . But I bounced - - all the way down to the garden and into the road . They were all really pleased , Gran was crying , she was so happy . The Chocolate War , Robert Cornier The Chocolate War is a beloved young adult novel by Robert Cornier reputed for its extensive use of imagery . The way the chocolates are described , they seem less than appetizing , right down to the purple ribbon . They ' ve been stored under the best conditions since last spring ? Yuck ! " [ … ] these are Mother ' s Day chocolates . [ … ] I was - able to pick them up at a bargain price . [ They ' re ] in perfect condition , [ … ] stored under the best of conditions since last spring . All we have to do is remove the purple ribbon that says Mother and we ' re in business . " If you ' d like to study the craft a little further , here are 14 more books to consider for their beautiful imagery . Imagery in Music If you are a fan of music , then imagery surrounds you in songs . Many people agree that songs are but poetry set to music . If you think this statement is true , then it could be said the verses in your favorite songs are a good place to start when looking for samples of imagery in everyday works . Whether you like hip - hop , pop , rock and roll , country , or soul , music is as good a place as ever to find samples of imagery . Let ' s explore a few particularly grabbing song lyrics . " Slow Dancing in a Burning Room , " John Mayer John Mayer croons about a relationship that ' s about to die . He sings : We ' re goin ' down and you can see it too We ' re goin ' down and you know that we ' re doomed My dear , we ' re slow dancing in a burnin ' room He makes it pretty easy to imagine a forlorn couple slow dancing in a room that ' s about to engulf them in flames . The imagery denotes a dying or doomed relationship . One would rarely stop to slow dance in a room that ' s aflame . So , perhaps this love lost is enough to finish off the star - crossed lovers . " River , " Eminem and Ed Sheeran Love him or hate him , Eminem is another master lyricist . He released a single with talented songwriter Ed Sheeran titled " River . " It ' s also about a severely flawed relationship . While " Slow Dancing In a Burning " room created a slow , if not ominous , image , Eminem creates a frantic , if not crazed , image . One verse goes like this : Always the bridesmaid , never " The bride , hey ! " What can I say ? If life was a highway And deceit was an enclave , I ' d be swerving in five lanes Speeds at a high rate , like I ' m slidin ' on ice , maybe That ' s why I may have came at you sideways Swerving across a five - lane highway ? Coming at someone sideways ? Each of these images creates a frenzied image . Surely , things are about to escalate , and not for the better . " Love Is Your Name , " Steven Tyler Did you know Steven Tyler crossed over into country in 2016 ? He wrote or co - wrote nearly every song on his album We ' re All Somebody from Somewhere . Clearly , some woman got under his skin , judging by the imagery stirred up in these " Love Is Your Name " lyrics : Catch your wind from heaven Send them while I ' m sleeping Wake me with the morning sun I ' ll dream of you until you come Rather than a house going up in flames or a crash across a five - lane highway , Tyler evokes images of breezes from Heaven , waking with the morning sun , and dreaming sweet dreams . The tone of these words is deliberately happy and hopeful . Imagery in a Single Sentence Of course , imagery abounds in everyday life too . A friend might call and tell you about her romantic dinner in Manhattan last night . Your father might recall his major win at the poker tables in Vegas many years ago . While literature and music can paint a vivid picture , so can everyday life . Let ' s take a look at various examples of imagery summed up in a single sentence , including several examples of similes He felt like the flowers were waving hello . The F - 16 swooped down like an eagle after its prey . The lake was left shivering by the touch of morning wind . The pot was as red as a tongue after a cherry - flavored ring pop . The music coursed through us , vibrating through our bodies as if it came from within . The giant tree was ablaze with the orange , red , and yellow leaves that were beginning to make their descent to the ground . Paint a Picture If you ever find yourself wondering where you can find good imagery examples , just turn on some music or pull out a book or magazine . Or , if you dream of writing a short story or novel someday , then imagery will be your truest friend . Enjoy these descriptive text examples and imagery in poems for more inspiration !

http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-speciation.html | Home Reference Examples Examples of Speciation Examples of Speciation 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade Middle School High School College The term speciation , which was first coined by biologist Orator F . Cook , refers to the process of evolution through which new species arise . In nature there are four different means of speciation : allopatric , parapatric , sympatric , and peripatric . Understanding Speciation It is very important to understand the types of natural speciation to understand how it occurs . For example : Allopatric speciation occurs when an animal population is forced to be split between two geographical areas as a result of geographical change . As a result , there are mutations that occur in the split populations which affect the ability of the two groups to reproduce if and when they are reintroduced . Peripatric speciation occurs when new species arise in isolation . As in allopatric speciation , the new species is unable to reproduce with others in the original population . Parapatric speciation occurs when populations are only partially separated and therefore do sometimes make contact . In this situation , the reproduction is based on selection of the best traits within the group . Sympatric speciation is differentiated from the other three because it occurs in one geographic location . Some scientists would call this type of speciation controversial and there are some who do not believe it exists . The cause of sympatric speciation is not known but could be based on varied food sources or traits that spontaneously develop . Each of these different types of speciation is an important part of the process of evolution . Some Examples of Speciation You can see a lot of different examples of speciation in nature . Some of these different examples include : Hawthorn fly Three - spined sticklebacks Cichlid fishes in Lake Nagubago Tennessee cave salamanders Greenish Warbler Ensatina salamanders Larus gulls Petroica multicolor Drosophila Mayr bird fauna Finches Squirrels in the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon Apple maggot Faeroe Island house mouse Primula kewensis Croatian lizards Speciation can be natural and can occur as a normal part of the evolutionary process . Artificial speciation is also possible and can be created by laboratory experiments or through agriculture and animal husbandry . Fruit flies are a primary example of artificial speciation . Another well - known example is domestic sheep . Speciation Results in a New Breed It is important to note that speciation occurs when there is a new species , not just a new sub - species . For example , many pet owners are excited to own dogs that have been bred together to create a new breed . The new breed is not considered a new species . The reason for this is that the new breed is still able to reproduce with the other breed . A new species is not able to reproduce with members of the original population . A similar example , in plant form , are brussel sprouts , collards and kohlrabi . They are all plants that are part of the same species Brassica oleracea , the species to which cabbage and broccoli also belong . So , now you better understand what speciation is - and is not - and you can see examples of speciation in nature to better understand evolution .

For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Excel , click here : Picking a Group of Cells Picking a Group of Cells by Allen Wyatt ( last updated May 26 , 2018 ) 1 Excel allows you to define a group of cells in preparation for doing an action , such as formatting the cells . This is different than picking a range of cells , however . A range of cells is contiguous in nature — every cell between a starting and ending point is selected . A group of cells does not need to be contiguous . Instead , they can be anywhere on the worksheet . In some Microsoft documentation , a group of cells is called a selection set . To put together your own group of cells , you need to use the mouse . Click on the first cell in the group . As you click on each subsequent cell in the group , simply hold down the Ctrl key . Each cell you click on is added to the group . If you click on a cell a second time ( with the Ctrl key pressed ) , the cell is removed from the group . If you click on any cell without holding down the Ctrl key , that cell is selected and the selection set is gone . ExcelTips is your source for cost - effective Microsoft Excel training .

If you are using a later version ( Excel 2007 or later ) , this tip may not work for you . For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Excel , click here : Getting Rid of Everything Except Numbers Getting Rid of Everything Except Numbers by Allen Wyatt ( last updated June 21 , 2018 ) 4 Linda has a column that contains alpha and numeric characters . She needs to retain the numeric characters and delete the alpha ones . For example , a cell may contain 10003E111 and she wants to end up with 10003111 . There are a few ways you can approach this problem . Before proceeding with any solution , however , you should make sure that you are n ' t trying to change something that is n ' t really broken . For instance , you ' ll want to make sure that the " E " that appears in the number is n ' t part of the format of the number — in other words , a designation of exponentiation . If it is , then you do n ' t really want to remove the character because it If you determine that the characters are n ' t part of the number ' s format , then you can first try using formulas to remove the alpha characters . If the values you want to change are in column A , you could enter the following ( very long ) formula in column B : = MID ( A1 , MATCH ( TRUE , ISERROR ( 1 * MID ( A1 , ROW ( INDIRECT ( " 1 : " &LEN ( A1 ) ) ) , 1 ) ) , 0 ) , - MATCH ( TRUE , ISERROR ( 1 * MID ( A1 , ABS ( ROW ( INDIRECT ( " 1 : " &LEN ( A1 ) ) ) - LEN ( A1 ) - 1 ) , 1 ) ) , 0 ) + LEN ( A1 ) + 2 - MATCH ( TRUE , ISERROR ( 1 * MID Make sure you enter this as an array formula by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter . Then enter the following into column C : = SUBSTITUTE ( A1 , B1 , " " ) The result is that column C contains the values from column A , without the alpha characters . You could use Paste Special to copy the information from column C to another column so that you end up with actual values instead of formula results . This approach may work great for short - term use on a single workbook , but if you need to do this sort of data processing more often then you will want to create a user - defined function to do the processing . Here ' s an example : Function OnlyNums ( sWord As String ) Dim sChar As String Dim x As Integer Dim sTemp As String sTemp = " " For x = 1 To Len ( sWord ) sChar = Mid ( sWord , x , 1 ) If Asc ( sChar ) > = 48 And _ Asc ( sChar ) < = 57 Then sTemp = sTemp & sChar End If Next OnlyNums = Val ( sTemp ) End Function You use this function by calling it from within a worksheet cell : = OnlyNums ( A1 ) The function returns a numeric value . If you want to create an even shorter macro to do the processing , consider the following : Function StripChar ( aText As String ) Dim I As Integer StripChar = " " For I = 1 To Len ( aText ) aChar = Mid ( aText , I , 1 ) Select Case aChar Case " 0 " To " 9 " StripChar = StripChar & aChar End Select Next End Function To use this function , use either of the following in your worksheet : = STRIPCHAR ( A1 ) = VALUE ( STRIPCHAR ( A1 ) ) The first returns a text string consisting of the digits , the second returns the numeric version of that string .

http://excelsemipro.com/2010/10/convert-decimal-hours-to-time-in-excel/ | Convert Decimal Hours to Time in Excel Converting a decimal time value to minutes and hours is easily done in Excel . That is , if the time value is less than 24 hours . Decimal to Time Conversion Here are three simple steps to convert decimal to time . Enter a decimal value into a cell Divide by 24 Change cell formatting to Time ( h : mm ) To change the cell format use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ 1 to bring up the Format Cells dialog box , select the Number tab , click Time , then select the h : ss format as shown below . If you have a lot of conversions then one column for the decimal values and another column for a formula dividing by 24 will suffice . Just change the formatting for the second column . The example above shows three columns for illustrative purposes and is not very practical . Obviously a conversion can be done in one cell , if you : Enter a formula into a cell with a decimal value divided by 24 ( = 0.61 / 24 ) Format that cell to h : mm And remember , this only works properly for decimal values less than 24 hours This entry was posted in Intermediate Time and Date and tagged Tips on by ← Column Width Unit of Measure in Excel Versions Become the OFFSET Function and Tell a Short Story → 31 thoughts on “ Convert Decimal Hours to Time in Excel Jiri January 12 , 2012 at 3 : 22 am How can I convert decimal value bigger than 24 hours ? For example , how do I convert 45.5 hours into format 45 : 30 ? ? ? Gregory Post author January 12 , 2012 at 7 : 18 pm That ’ s always a hard one . I had to look it up again here Essentially you divide the number ( 45.5 ) by 24 , then change the cell formatting to a custom format [ h ] : mm and Excel will do the work for you . ( Putting the h inside brackets means the time will be cumulative . ) Jiri January 12 , 2012 at 8 : 58 pm Thank you very much indeed ! I could not find this detail ( the function of the brackets ) anywhere . Luis Serpa September 17 , 2012 at 1 : 44 am Hello , I am trying to find a solution for a problem with time calculation . I want to find how many days and hours will a trip last at different speeds ( and then add this value to a starting date to otain an ETA , but this is easy ) . Until now I simply divided the distance by the speed and then by 24 , but this works only to distances / speed that led to trip duration inferior to one month . With duration superior to that value the formula only returns values that exceed the 30 days . You can hav an example by dividing 10 ’ 000 miles by a speed of 5 knots . Result is 200o hours which is 83 , 3 days . If I fromat that in a dd ” d ” hh ” h ” format it returns 23d 08h . Maybe the problem is only the formatting , but I would like to be able to obtain 83d 08h . How can i do that ? Many thanks in advance Luis Serpa Gregory Post author September 18 , 2012 at 5 : 19 pm This will fix your problem . = INT ( 2000 / 24 ) & ” d “ &TEXT ( ( 2000 / 24 ) - INT ( 2000 / 24 ) , ” h ” ) & “ h ” and give you 83d 8h . September 19 , 2012 at 12 : 05 am Many thanks . Luís Serpa November 26 , 2012 at 12 : 47 am Sorry , only now did I try your solution , but it does not work : the result is text , and it is not possible to do any calculation with it . I ’ m trying with IF function ( IF value > 30 then … ) but it seems too heavy a solution . There should be a simpler way . Thanks Luis Dawn Cunningham November 14 , 2012 at 8 : 43 am Start time is 07 : 30 End time is 16 : 00 Lunch hour is .5 I need the forumla using these time formats for how many hours worked . So far , I have this : = TEXT ( B2 - A2 , ” h : mm ” ) Which is working … until I tried to put in the minus .5 for lunch . Thanks so much ! November 14 , 2012 at 7 : 01 pm Assume cell A2 = 7 : 30 and cell B2 = 16 : 00 then lunch time should be in the same unit of measure . Instead of using decimal hours for lunch , 0.5 hours , you should use the same time format 0 : 30 . Assume that in cell C2 you enter 0 : 30 , then a formula in cell D2 would be = B2 - A2 - C2 and would result in 8 : 00 . End time minus start time minus lunch duration ( in time format h : mm ) equals hours worked Dawn Cunningham November 15 , 2012 at 4 : 52 am Hi Gregory … I was not “ allowed ” to change the .5 and they have kept their formula “ hidden ” or “ locked ” somehow . When I did try the : 30 it was n ’ t working anyways . HOWEVER , when I added the “ 0 ” in front bazinga ! it works ! Thank you very much for your help ! And “ they ” will just have to deal with the change ! LOL November 15 , 2012 at 5 : 46 am Oh , Ok , so what happens when I use this formula my calculation of hours is kept in the time format . So , 8.5 hours shows up as 8 : 30 and that is not what I am required to have . I am trying to format those specific cells to show the 8.5 but I am not figuring it out yet . If you have anything further to suggest that would be great ! ! ! Just to recap , I need to calculate the amount of hours : A1 = Start Time 07 : 30 B1 = End Time 16 : 00 C1 = Lunch is .5 ( half an hour ) D1 = Number of hours worked is : ? ? . ? ? November 15 , 2012 at 7 : 10 am D1 = ( B1 - A1 ) * 24 - C1 November 15 , 2012 at 7 : 54 am THANK YOU ! ! ! WOW , you have just saved me SO much time ! Marcus Stavchasky February 26 , 2013 at 2 : 14 pm Random question , Can one set up a cell to receive 4 digits and have those digits convert to the hh : mm format after pressing enter ? For example , I enter in 1635 and the cell reads 16 : 35 , Or I enter in 0957 and the cell reads 09 : 57 Thank you for your help . - Stav February 26 , 2013 at 4 : 07 pm It is possible if you write some VBA code to handle the complexities . I had another reader leave a comment about entering 3 or 4 digits for military time , leaving out the delimiter ( : ) and calculating the difference between End and Start times . I sent him a spreadsheet with all the calculations that you have to go through to make this work . It ’ s not difficult , just detailed . So advancing that idea one more level by having VBA recognize input for cells in a particular column , and then making a transformation to regular time format is not that difficult . Just detailed and involved . You ’ ve given me an idea for a couple of blog posts . Thanks . Marcus Stavchansky February 26 , 2013 at 4 : 49 pm Do you mind linking me to your blog if you plan to share a solution using VBA code . I am very interested in learning a solution for my issue . March 3 , 2013 at 11 : 05 am You can subscribe to my blog on the main page . When I write this post , I ’ ll email you the link . Jamal Rabbani March 28 , 2013 at 10 : 31 am I would like to conver 2 : 31 ( 2 hrs 31 minutes ) into minutes and then divide by number of calls to find average time per call . How do i convert number to minutes ? March 30 , 2013 at 11 : 16 am Assume that 2 : 31 is in cell A1 and the number of calls is in cell B1 , which the value is 10 for this example . The formula you want is : = ( A1 * 24 * 60 ) / B1 and make sure you cell formatting is General . The formula returns 15.1 minutes per call . The 2 : 31 is multiplied by 24 hours / day and 60 minutes / hour to convert to 151 minutes . You can also use 1440 , which is the number of minutes in a day ( 24 X 60 ) . Then you simply divide by number of calls to get minutes per call . Adolfo April 15 , 2013 at 11 : 56 am Guys , I used your procedure for Calculating Hours Between 2 Dates and Times … easy … Now I ’ m using your Convert Decimal Hours to Time in Excel , but I have some ranges with more than 24 hours , so as you mentioned , it does n ’ t works properly … there is a way to make it work with more than 24 hours ? April 15 , 2013 at 7 : 16 pm Change your cell formatting to add a square bracket [] around the h in the time format . Here ’ s how : In the Format Cells dialog box ( CTRL+ 1 on a PC and CMD+ 1 on a Mac ) click the Number tab , in the Category box select Custom , then in the Type : box enter [ h ] : mm and the hour will accumulate past 24 hours . adolfo April 16 , 2013 at 6 : 15 am You are the man Greg … works perfectly . . THX ! ! ! Deb April 15 , 2013 at 7 : 35 pm Hi Gregory , I am learning Excel and need help on calculating the total time ( hours and minutes ) worked in a day . For example : Start time was 8 : 50am , End time was 3 : 28pm Thank you so much , Deb April 15 , 2013 at 7 : 47 pm Assume 8 : 50 AM is in cell A2 and 3 : 28 PM is in cell B2 . If you put the calculation = B2 - A2 into cell C2 , the only thing left is to select cell C2 and bring up the Format Cells dialog box ( keyboard shortcut CTRL+ 1 on a PC and CMD+ 1 on a Mac ) then click the Number tab , and in the Category box select Time , and finally choose a format like 13 : 30 which has no AM or PM associated with it . The result will be 6 : 38 and is the result you are looking for . Borune RoyChoudhury April 27 , 2013 at 12 : 23 pm Hi Gregory , Unfortunetly when working on Excel I put time using decimals . Eg . 17.25 was actually meant to be 17 hours and 25 minutes . Now when I try to convert that into the hh : mm : ss format in excel I ’ m getting 17 : 15 : 00 instead of 17 : 25 : 00 . Is there a way to read the decimal in excel as the minute value only ? Thanks . Borune RoyChoudhury April 27 , 2013 at 1 : 13 pm Hi Gregory , I kept looking for the answer and I Got It … it is = DOLLARDE ( A1 , 60 ) / 24 for the value in decimal in A1 using the cell format [ h ] : mm : ss . Thanks anyway April 27 , 2013 at 3 : 17 pm Do n ’ t know about the formula you found , but his will work as well . = TIME ( INT ( A1 ) , MOD ( A1 , 1 ) * 60 , 0 ) Cheers . Bal May 3 , 2013 at 10 : 28 am I ’ ve read everything here and ca n ’ t find an answer for my problem . I have created a format ( 00 \ : 00 ) to enter my time in a cell . This allows me to simply enter a number without having to enter the colon . My problem is I ca n ’ t figure how to calculate this as time . Example : 0945 - 1800 = 8 : 15 but it calculates out as 8 : 55 because it is simply subtracting . Can you tell me , how I can make May 14 , 2013 at 7 : 52 pm Assume 0945 is in cell A1 and 1800 is in cell B1 . You have to divide by 100 and then get the integer and fractional part . In cell A2 enter the formula : = INT ( A1 / 100 ) + MOD ( A1 / 100 , 1 ) * 100 / 60 which will return 9.75 In cell B2 enter the formula = INT ( B1 / 100 ) + MOD ( B1 / 100 , 1 ) * 100 / 60 which will give you 18 . And finally in cell C2 enter the formula : = ( INT ( B2 - A2 ) + ( MOD ( B2 - A2 , 1 ) * 60 ) / 100 ) * 100 to convert back to your original format , which returns 815 as the answer . Gem June 25 , 2013 at 8 : 17 pm Hi ! I need help badly . How can I have 13 : 15 PM in excel ? It does n ’ t have a PM on it . . Just 13 : 15 June 26 , 2013 at 8 : 46 pm You either get 13 : 15 which is military time and does n ’ t have PM or you have 1 : 15 PM . Both formats are controlled in the Format Cells dialog box . Use the keyboard shortcut Control+ 1 on a PC or Command+ 1 on a Mac to bring up the dialog box . Then select the Number tab , and in the Category box select Time . Then in the Type box pick the format that best suits your needs and click OK . Comments are closed . | [

http://excelsemipro.com/2011/05/ribbon-home-tab-comparison-excel-2010-windows-and-2011-mac/ | Ribbon Home Tab Comparison – Excel 2010 Windows and 2011 Mac I ’ ll review each hard - to - find item on the Ribbon ’ s Home Tab in Excel 2010 ( Windows ) and let you know where they are located in Excel 2011 ( Mac ) . I ’ ve even got some nifty pictures to speed along that understanding . Note : The Ribbons in Excel 2010 and 2007 ( Windows ) are interchangeable , but I ’ ll only refer to 2010 below . Each Ribbon Tab in Excel is organized by Groups . In Excel 2010 the Groups are shown at the bottom of the Ribbon . In Excel 2011 the Groups appear at the top , which I prefer . The Excel 2010 Home Tab The Excel 2010 Home Tab has the following Groups : Clipboard , Font , Alignment , Number , Styles , Cells , and Editing . The Excel 2011 Home Tab The Excel 2011 Home Tab has the following Groups : Edit , Font , Alignment , Number , Format , Cells , Themes . Similar Items on Both Home Tabs The Font and Number Groups have the same items so there ’ s no need to review them . The Alignment and Cells Groups have the same items , and although there is some variation in the underlying drop - down options I wo n ’ t cover them in this post . Items You Have to Hunt For in Excel 2011 I ’ ll review each item on the Excel 2010 Clipboard and Editing Groups , which have items located on the Edit Group and elsewhere in Excel 2011 , and finish up with the Styles Group that relates to the Format Group . Note : The Themes Group in Excel 2011 does n ’ t exist on the Home Tab in Excel 2010 , but can be found on the Page Layout Tab . The Clipboard Group From left to right , the Paste icon is the first thing you see on the Excel 2010 Home tab . It resides in the Clipboard Group . Luckily the Paste icon is located in the same position on the Excel 2011 Home tab , but in the Edit Group . The other items in the Clipboard group — Cut Copy Format Painter — do n ’ t have a counterpart in the Excel 2011 Ribbon , but rather you can find them on the Standard Toolbar . The Editing Group The Editing Group items are a mixed bag that can be hard to find in Excel 2011 unless you add some toolbar icons to the Standard Toolbar . The Fill and Clear icons can be found in the Edit Group . AutoSum is located on the Formulas Tab in the Function Group . Sort & Filter exists as two separate icons in Excel 2011 and are located on the Data Tab in the Sort & Filter Group with an icon for Sort and one for Filter . The Find & Select icon is not on the Excel 2011 Ribbon but located on the right side above the toolbar in a different format : the Search in Sheet box , which has a drop - down button that will bring up options for Advanced Search Replace In Excel 2011 you can find Sort Filter on the Data menu , and Find can be found on the Edit menu but all of these are less than optimal because they take you away from the Home tab and require more clicks on the mouse or taps on the trackpad than are necessary . As you can see in the Editing Group picture above , I ’ ve added AutoSum , and icons to the Standard Toolbar to make these functions only one click away . This is a lot easier than hunting them each time . The Styles Group In Excel 2010 the Styles Group mostly corresponds to the Format Group in Excel 2011 . Format As Table icon in Excel 2010 is located on the Tables Tab in the Table Styles Group in Excel 2011 . Summary The first time you use the Excel 2011 Ribbon Home Tab can be a trying experience if you ’ ve just come over from Excel 2010 or 2007 . Hopefully this little summary with pictures is a help to those of you who , like me , get frustrated with Excel for making things so different between Windows and Mac .

http://exercise.lovetoknow.com/What_Muscles_Does_Biking_Work | Which Muscles Does Biking Work ? By Jasmine Myers Biking Works a Variety of Muscle Groups If you are a newbie cyclist , one of the first questions you may ask yourself is " What muscles does biking work ? " Biking , also known as cycling , is one of those sports that work a variety of muscles . It is a great exercise to burn calories , shed fat , and tone and strengthen muscles all over your body . Bike for Healthier Calves , Thighs , and Glutes Obviously , biking works your legs , but the muscles in the body are all connected . It is nearly impossible to isolate just one muscle . In fact , that is one of the benefits of this great exercise . Here are three specific muscle groups you will be toning with a cycling regimen . Calf Muscles Cycling works the two main muscles in the calf Gastrocnemius - This is the muscle most prominent on your calf . It attaches at the back of the knee and is responsible for helping to lift your heel , which allows you to walk , climb a flight of stairs , and , of course , to ride a bike . Soleus - Also responsible for helping to lift the heel , the soleus is not quite as visible , but just as important . When you bend your knee during exercises like cycling , you are using the soleus muscle . Thigh Muscles The thigh is made up of more than a dozen muscles and tendons , working together to power you through a biking workout . Here are two of the major muscle groups exercisers generally aim to tone and tighten . Quadriceps - The quads are actually a muscle group , which include four major muscles on the front of the thigh : vastus lateralis ( outer thigh ) , rectus femoris ( middle thigh ) , vastus medialis ( inner thigh ) and vastus intermedius ( between the inner and outer thigh muscles ) . These muscles effectively make up the " meaty " part of the thigh that surrounds the femur bone . In most people , even those who are not physically fit , the quads are the strongest of all the muscles in the body . The quads attach Hamstrings - Another important thigh muscle group , the hamstrings sit behind and above the knee and attach to the femur bone , as well . These muscles allow the knee to bend as you pump the pedals of a bike . Because both the quads and the hamstrings work as a cohesive unit , it is crucial that you strength train both muscles , rather than focusing on just one . Many professional athletes run into injury issues because they have over - trained their quads in comparison to their hamstrings . Gluteal Muscles The gluteals are more commonly known as the buttocks . Though the gluteus maximus is the most well known of buttocks muscles , it is only one of three muscles in the gluteal group . Gluteus Maximus - With its fleshy , round shape , the gluteus maximus is the most prominent of the gluteal muscles . It has earned various nicknames over time . In fact , a number of exercises and classes have even been created to target this single muscle . " Booty Blast , " " Booty Bootcamp , " and " Butt Buster " are just some of the names you might find on a gym class schedule . Biking , however , is also an excellent way to tone this unique and very strong muscle . Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus - The two remaining muscles of the gluteal group , the gluteus medius and minimus muscles , work in conjunction with the hips to rotate the thighs when a body is in motion . Obviously , the ability to rotate the thighs is especially important when running , climbing , or cycling . Biking Provides Very Beneficial Exercise Biking works a lot of muscles . In addition to the muscles of the lower portion of the body , almost every exercise requires the use of muscles that remain mostly stationary . Holding your body in a certain position while bicycling will call on the muscles of your back , arms , and neck , as well . Remember , biking is not only a great way to work those muscles and burn fat ; it is also a sport that can be very social .

http://exodontia.info/Coronectomy.html | Exodontia . Info Coronectomy Intentional Partial Odontectomy Partial Root Removal , Deliberate Vital Root Retention or Partial Odontectomy Coronectomy is the removal of the crown of a tooth , leaving the roots in situ When applied to a lower wisdom tooth or any lower un - erupted posterior tooth , it is a procedure used to avoid damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve IAN ) ( the nerve that supplies feeling / sensation to the lip and chin ) when the X - ray has suggested an intimate relationship between the roots of the lower wisdom tooth and the IAN ( the intimacy of the tooth roots to the nerve canal can be confirmed with the use of a Cone Beam CT scan [ CBCT ] ) . The expectation , after removing the top of the tooth , is that the roots will remain in place and eventually sealed with bone . Roots encased in bone can remain buried in the jaw for years and rarely cause problems . Coronectomy of lower molars is NOT carried out in the following situations Wisdom tooth roots are not touching the canal Wisdom tooth with either active root tip infection or decay in the crown of the tooth ( which extends to the pulp ) Active periodontal disease in the region of the wisdom tooth and the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth Pre - existing numbness of the Pre - existing mobility of the tooth as any retained roots may act as a mobile foreign body and become a nidus for infection / migration Teeth that are horizontally impacted along the c ourse of the as sectioning the tooth crown could endanger the Systemic condition predisposing to local infection such as diabetes , AIDS and concurrent chemo therapy / radio therapy Local factors predisposing to infection such as metabolic bone diseases ( e.g . fibrous dysplasia ) , history of radio - therapy to the lower jaw Where it would not be possible to remove all t h e enamel ( retention of enamel seems to be associated with a higher failure rate ) Where the 2nd molars will be moved distally in orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery on the mandible is being considered . Where the tooth is associated with tumours or large cysts This list of warnings might seem excessive to some however the legal ruling in the case of Chester vs Afshar ( 2004 ) would suggest that it is quite prudent / necessary to list them . Others might say that there is n ' t enough information but where do you stop ? The following list of warnings regarding coronectomy is neither exhaustive nor is it predictive . You are to have a tooth decoronated You can expect the following : Intentional Partial Odontectomy Specific Warnings Roots inadvertently removed at the time of attempted coronectomy . When it came to removing the crown , it was found that the roots as well were mobile . This ranges from 3 - 9 % . If the roots are mobile , we are obliged to remove them and there is obviously the risk to the ( which this procedure was trying to avoid ) . This is more likely to happen if the roots are conical in shape . Incomplete Crown Removal ( link to annotated picture ) . Not being able to visualize the root surface is a common problem with disto - angular impactions and makes root finishing difficult . This may mean that all the enamel has not been removed . Retained enamel or spicules of enamel can cause irritation to the overlying gum or , as the enamel acts as foreign body , increases the chances of infection of the unhealed socket . Numbness of Chin , Lip ± Tongue . The Inferior Alveolar & Lingual Nerves may still be damaged during the procedure resulting in numbness affecting the tongue ± the chin and lower lip . The numbness of the tongue seems to be quite short - lived and has a low incidence . The numbness of the chin ± lip tended to occur when on attempting the coronectomy , the roots were found to be mobile and had to be removed . Root Migration ( link to annotated picture ) . Subsequent migration of the roots away from the occurred in 14 - 81 % of cases . The roots seem to move the most during the first 6 months post - coronectomy , with a typical distance of 2 - 3mm away from the . Root migration halts as the bone regenerates and remodels . Later Removal of Roots . This can happen in up to a 2 - 6 % of cases . If the roots irritate overlying tissues or the adjacent tooth or otherwise become symptomatic , they may need to be removed . Even though a 2nd surgery would be needed , the possibility of nerve damage should be negligible since the roots would have migrated away from its original resting place next to the . Since the purpose of the is to avoid this damage , this goal would have been accomplished even though a 2nd surgical procedure was necessary to remove the remaining root . General Surgical Warnings Pain . As it is a surgical procedure , there will be soreness after the tooth removal . This can last for several days . Painkillers such as ibuprofen paracetamol Solpadeine or Nurofen Plus are very effective . Obviously , the painkiller you use is dependent on your medical history & the ease of the operation . The pain can take awhile to settle down - it is not so much the pain of a tooth extraction but of a tooth that has been irreversibly traumatised and the tooth ' s pain is that of the tooth dying - this can be prolonged . Swelling . There will be swelling afterwards . This can last up to a week . Use of an icepack or a bag of frozen peas pressed against the cheek adjacent to the site will help to decrease the swelling . Avoidance in the first few hours post - op , of alcohol , exercise or hot foods / drinks will decrease the degree of swelling that will develop . Bruising & Bleeding into Cheeks . Some people are prone to bruise . Older people , people on aspirin or steroids will also bruise that much more easily . The bruising can look quite florid ; this will eventually resolve but can take several weeks ( in the worst cases ) . Swelling that does not resolve within a few days may be due to bleeding into the cheek . The cheek swelling will feel quite firm . Coupled with this , there may be limitation to mouth opening and bruising . Both the swelling , bruising and mouth opening will resolve with time . Stitches . The site will often be closed with stitches . These dissolve and will ‘ fall out ’ within 10 – 14 days . Limited Mouth Opening . Often the chewing muscles and the jaw joints are sore after the procedure so that mouth opening can be limited for the next few days . If you are unlucky enough to develop an infection afterwards , this can make the limited mouth opening worse and last for longer ( up to a week or so ) . Post - op Infection . You may develop an infection in the socket after the operation . This tends to occur 2 – 4 days later and is characterised by a deep - seated throbbing pain , bad breath and an unpleasant taste in the mouth . This infection is more likely to occur if you are a smoker , are on the contraceptive pill , on drugs such as steroids and if bone has to be removed to facilitate tooth extraction . If antibiotics are given , they are likely to react with alcohol and / or the Contraceptive Pill ( that is , the ‘ Pill ’ will not be providing protection ) . Surrounding Teeth . The surrounding teeth may be sore after the they may even be slightly wobbly but the teeth should settle down with time . It is possible that the fillings or crowns of the surrounding teeth may come out , fracture or become loose . If this is the case , you will need to go back to your dentist / Oral Surgeon to have these sorted out . Every effort will be made to make sure this does n ’ t happen . Damage to the lower 2nd molar ( that is , the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth ) has been reported , which likely occurs when removing all enamel from mesio - angular impacted wisdom teeth and there is limited access and visibility of the operation site . Failure of Anaesthesia . In rare cases , the tooth can be difficult to ‘ numb up ’ . This can be due to a number of reasons . The more common ones include inflammation ± infection associated with the tooth , anatomical differences & apprehension . If the tooth fails to ‘ numb up ’ then its removal will be rescheduled with antibiotic cover or perhaps done under sedation or even a GA .

http://exodontia.info/Wisdom_Tooth_Impaction_Classification.html | Exodontia . Info Classification of 3rd Molar ( Wisdom Teeth ) Impaction Systematic and meticulous classification of the position of impacted molar teeth helps in assessing the best possible path of removal of the impacted teeth and also in encountered during removal . Prediction of operative difficulty before the extraction of impacted third molars allows a design of treatment that minimises the risk of complications . Both radiological and clinical information must be taken into account . Factors such as sex , age , position of the molar tooth in relation to the occlusal plane and operative difficulty as judged by the surgeon , have all been reported to be associated with a significantly increased duration of postoperative recovery . It seems likely that patients judged to be at higher risk for delayed recovery will benefit from a more exhaustive postoperative follow - up and from specific post - operative measures to aid recovery . Prediction of operative difficulty is therefore important for correct management . Various methods have been proposed for the pre - operative evaluation of difficulty but these have often been of limited validity . To overcoming the limitations of these systems , the classification systems can be used in conjunction with each other to determine the difficulty of removal of the impacted tooth Classification of Impacted Mandibular 3rd Molars Based on the nature of the overlying tissues Winter ’ s classification Pell & Gregory ’ s classification Based on the Nature of the Overlying Tissue Based on the nature of the overlying tissue impaction , impacted lower wisdom teeth can be classified into : Soft Tissue Impaction When the height of the tooth ’ s contour is above the level of the surrounding alveolar bone and the superficial portion of the tooth is covered only by soft ( though this can be dense and fibrous ) tissue . Soft tissue impaction is usually the easiest of type of impacted tooth to remove . Hard Tissue ( ' Bony ' Impaction . This is where the wisdom tooth fails to erupt due to being obstructed by the overlying bone . This can be sub - divided into Partial and Complete Bony Impactions Partial Bony . The superficial portion of the tooth is covered only by soft tissue but the height of the tooth ' s contour is below the level of the surrounding alveolar bone . Apart from cutting the gingiva ( gum ) & possible bone removal from behind the tooth , the tooth ' s roots may need to be divided . Complete Bony . The tooth is completely encased in bone so that when the gingiva is cut and reflected back , the tooth is not seen . Bone removal ( large amounts ) together with root sectioning will be needed to remove the tooth . These are often the most difficult tooth to remove . Winter ' s Classification The classification is based on the inclination of the impacted wisdom tooth ( 3rd molar ) to the long axis of the 2nd molar Mesio - Angular . The impacted tooth is tilted toward the 2nd molar in a mesial direction . Disto - Angular . The long axis of the 3rd molar is angled distally / posteriorly away from the 2nd molar . Horizontal . The long axis of the 3rd molar is horizontal Vertical . The long axis of the 3rd molar is parallel to the long axis of the 2nd molar . Buccal Lingual Obliquity . In combination with the above , the tooth can be buccally ( tilted towards the cheek ) or lingually ( tilted towards the tongue ) impacted . Transverse . This is where the tooth is in effect horizontally Inverse Significance . Each type of impaction has some definite path of withdrawl Mesially impacted teeth are ( can be ) easier to remove whereas distally impacted teeth are ( can be ) the hardest to remove . Bucally positioned maxillary ( upper ) teeth are easier to remove as the bone covering the tooth is thinner whereas the palatally positioned tooth requires bone removal and hence males the extraction difficult . Pell & Gregory ' s Classification This is based on the relationship between the impacted lower wisdom tooth ( 3rd molar ) to the ramus of the mandible distal to the 2nd molar ) . Class A . The occlusal plane of the impacted tooth is at the same level as the of the 2nd molar . ( The highest portion of impacted 3rd molar is on a level with or above the ) . Class B . The of the impacted tooth is between the cervical margin of the 2nd molar . ( The highest portion of impacted 3rd molar is below the but above the cervical line of the of 2nd molar ) . Class C . The impacted tooth is below the cervical margin of the 2nd molar . ( The highest portion of impacted 3rd molar is below the cervical line Class 1 . There is sufficient space available between the & the distal aspect of the 2nd molar for the eruption of the 3rd molar . Class 2 . The space available between the anterior border of the ramus & the aspect of the of the 2nd molar is less than the mesio - distal width of the crown of the 3rd molar . It denotes that the portion of the 3rd molar crown is covered by bone of the ascending ramus Class 3 . The 3rd molar is totally embedded in the bone of the because of the absolute lack of space . It is obvious that Class 3 teeth present more difficulty in removal as a relatively large amount of bone has to be removed and there is a risk of damaging the ID nerve or fracturing the mandible ( or both ) .

http://exoticpets.about.com/od/othersnakes/p/greensnakes.htm | Pet Snakes Reptiles & Amphibians Green Snakes These shy snakes are good pets for new owners By Lianne McLeod , DVM Updated 05 / 31 / 18 Getty Images / Gary Kemp Photography Rough and smooth green snakes are closely related , and while there are some differences between them , their care in captivity is essentially the same . These are both small , thin - bodied snakes native to North America . In the pet trade , rough green snakes are seen more commonly than smooth green snakes . There is concern about the declining populations of these snakes in the wild , possibly due to habitat loss and the use of pesticides . In some states , one or both of these species are considered threatened or endangered . Keep in mind that taking these snakes from the wild may be illegal depending on where you live . Names : Rough green snake ( Opheodrys aestivus ) , smooth green snake ( Opheodrys vernalis ) , grass snake , green whip snake , garden snake , vine snake , keeled green snake . Lifespan : Up to 15 years is reported for rough green snakes , though most do n ' t survive that long . Six to eight years is a more realistic expectation . Size : Rough green snakes grow to be around 2 to 3 feet long , while smooth green snakes are smaller and shorter , usually maxing out at about 2 feet . Green Snake Behavior and Temperament Both rough green snakes and smooth green snakes are a bright emerald - green color . They usually have a pale yellow or cream - colored belly . They are reported to take on a bluish tone when excited . Since rough and smooth green snakes both have thin bodies , an escape - proof enclosure is a must . Green snakes tend to be timid , shy snakes . They can be nervous and reluctant to feed and are therefore not recommended for beginner snake owners . Smooth and rough green snakes also tend to be stressed by handling , so they are better to be watched than handled . Housing the Green Snake Green snakes are small snakes , so do you not need a huge tank , but you do need to provide vertical space for climbing . A 30 - gallon tank is a good choice because it provides lots of space for greenery as well as hiding spots . Green snakes are peaceful , so they can be kept in groups ; three can live comfortably in a 30 - gallon tank . The tank will need a very tight - fitting fine mesh screen lid to prevent escapes . Green snakes that do not have lots of greenery to hide in become stressed . These snakes are small enough that live plants such as pothos , ivy , and other nontoxic plants will survive in the tank , but silk plants are fine , too . The greenery should fill at least a third of the tank . Branches and vines should also be provided for climbing as well as some hide boxes . For the substrate , reptile carpet makes a good choice , as do simple paper towels or paper . Substrates that could accidentally be ingested are best avoided . Heat A suggested temperature gradient for green snakes is 70 to 80 F ( 21 to 27 C ) , though some references suggest a higher range . At night , the temperature can be allowed to drop to between 65 and 75 F ( 18 to 24 C ) . Light An overhead heat source such as a heat bulb ( white light during the day and red or blue / purple at night ) or ceramic heat emitter is best . The overhead heat source can be supplemented by heat from an under tank heat mat , but make sure your snake can not sit directly on the glass , because thermal burns may follow . Being diurnal , these snakes should also have a UVA / UVB bulb on for 10 to 12 hours a day . Food and Water Green snakes are insectivores and are among the few snakes that eat a diet entirely consisting of insects . In the wild , they mostly consume a variety of insects such as crickets , moths , grasshoppers , caterpillars , and fly larvae and spiders . In captivity , it is most practical to feed a diet primarily of crickets , although it is extremely important to make sure the diet is still somewhat varied . Add in items such as grasshoppers , spiders , moths , and earthworms as much as possible . Mealworms can be fed to green snakes but only occasionally , as their tough exoskeletons may pose a risk of impaction . Pick freshly molted mealworms to reduce the chances of impaction . Other soft feeder worms , such as wax worms , could also be offered on occasion . Be sure that you do n ' t offer any prey items that are wider than your snake ' s body . All prey items should be gut loaded , meaning they ' re fed a nutritious diet themselves — including a vitamin and mineral supplement — before being offered to green snakes . They should also be dusted with a calcium supplement at least a few times a week . A shallow dish of water large enough for the snake to climb into for a soak , but shallow enough to prevent drowning , should be provided . However , these snakes seem to prefer drinking water droplets off leaves rather than from a bowl , so a daily misting of the greenery is required , as you would do for a chameleon . Common Health Problems Both types of green snake are prone to fungal and respiratory infections . Open - mouthed breathing and wheezing are signs of a respiratory infection , and discoloration of the skin is usually a symptom of a fungal infection . Another ailment common among snakes , including the green snake , is mouth rot , or infectious stomatitis . This bacterial infection of the mouth causes saliva bubbles and inflammation in and around the mouth . If left untreated , the snake ' s teeth may fall out when the infection reaches the bone . All of these health concerns should receive care from a reptilian veterinarian . Choosing Your Green Snake It is best to find a captive - bred green snake as wild - caught specimens may be stressed and have a difficult time adjusting to captivity . Wild - caught snakes may also be carrying a heavy parasite load , and you may be depleting an already declining population if they are endangered where you live .

You are then considered to be a non - resident tax payer in Box 2 and Box 3 , even though you are living in the Netherlands . For Box 1 income you are considered a resident tax payer , therefore you do not pay income tax on assets in Boxes 2 and 3 ( except for real estate located in the Netherlands and substantial shareholding in a Dutch resident BV ) and you are entitled to the partnership ruling in Box 1 source : http : / / www . iamsterdam . com / en - GB / living / official - matters / thirty - percent - ruling Bank savings and 30 % ruling . Foreign bank accounts . What to declare ? Benefit of the 30 % ruling is that in the annual income tax return you can opt to be treated as partial non - resident for tax purposes . This means that you can declare your income as if you are a non resident but on the other hand still claim tax deductions as if you are resident . Benefit of this option is that you will not have to declare all your savings and investments in Box 3 . Bank savings for example will not have to be declared in your Dutch tax return .

SE . Mar 18 ' 14 at 15 : 23 I think it ' s safe to assume that the 30 % ruling may well apply in the case of expats to NL . Further , I would say that it ' s quite possible that someone asking this question might not know that the 30 % ruling affects the answer at all , and thus would not refer to it at all . Kaz Dragon Mar 18 ' 14 at 15 : 37 I do n ' t agree that for expats it ' s exception rather than rule . What expat would want to come to NL to pay 52 % taxes ? Of expats I know , maybe 1 in 20 never had 30 % rule . Some lost it either via living in NL more than 10 years or by being self - employed . Mar 18 ' 14 at 15 : 37 @ GaëlLaurans : for expats 30 % rule is the general case . In fact only people who have 30 % rule are the ones that are called " expats " by the Dutch , otherwise they ' re called immigrants : - P Mar 18 ' 14 at 15 : 39 @ GaëlLaurans Let me rephrase . I do have the 30 % ruling , and I had n ' t a clue that it had any effect on the outcome of the ( strictly hypothetical ) question when I asked it . Mar 18 ' 14 at 15 : 43 show more comment 5 Summary : In general , the Dutch tax office cares about your worldwide income and assets and you can be taxed on savings abroad but you might also be eligible for a rebate or even omit some of your assets and income entirely depending on your situation . You generally have to pay income and capital / wealth tax on your worldwide income and assets , not only on your Dutch savings . See in particular Income abroad on the Dutch tax office ' s website . Particularly relevant here is that the Dutch income tax includes a sort of wealth tax because savings are assumed to provide a 4 % interest rate ( forfaitair rendement ) and you have to pay a 30 % tax on this fictive income , no matter how good or bad your savings really did in a given year ( it ' s called “ box 3 inkomsten ” in Dutch tax parlance ) . The details of how much you have to pay will depend on tax treaties , EU rules , and possibly the “ 30 % ruling ” but you might at least need to declare those savings and you are yourself responsible for doing it correctly improve this answer edited Mar 21 ' 14 at 18 : 27 answered Mar 18 ' 14 at 14 : 04 17.2k 2 20 57 add a comment Normally when someone immigrates to the Netherlands , this person is taxed there on his worldwide income . The Netherlands also taxes its residents on their deemed income from their worldwide savings and investments . The tax is 30 % of a 4 % deemed return on their investment ( so 1.2 % on their net wealth ) . If this person would hold the 30 % ruling , this may all not apply to this person . He can opt to be treated as a foreign tax payer for his income on savings and investments . This way , only Dutch real estate is taxed . No bank accounts or investments at all have to be declared in the tax return . Read here if you want to learn more about the Dutch 30 % ruling .

http://experiencesonthewesternfront.weebly.com/impact-on-soldiers-and-their-families.html | Home The Battle of Somme The Battle of Fromelles Impact on Soldiers and their Families Photo Gallery World War 1 was a terrifying event that started in 1914 . This War was so destructive because it hugely affected the soldiers and their families physically and mentally How did World War 1 affect the soldiers ? The War affected the soldiers physically through severe injuries and often left them traumatized with ‘ shell shock ’ by the things that they had seen like . Shell shock is an emotional shock ; brought about by the many horrors that men heard while in the trenches . The trauma resulted from the soldiers ’ experience of the screams of others in agony and pain and the thought of their own death . Some men just fell to pieces other men did recover from shell shock but continued to have nightmares about their experiences . Some idea about this Dulce et Decorum est ( 1917 ) by Wilfred Edwards . ( Gas ! Gas ! Quick , boys - An ecstasy of fumbling , Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time ; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And floundering like a man in fire or lime ) . . . ( Dim , through the mist panes and thick green light , As under a green sea , I saw him drowning ) . . How did World War 1 affect the families ? WW1 had a very big impact on the families . As most soldiers had gone to fight in the war , women had to replace men in the workforce . This put a lot of pressure upon the older children in the family as they had to take care of the household duties and any younger children . Many of the men who came back from the War were suffering from serious injuries , the effects of Mustard Gas and or shell shock . They were to tormented to talk about their experiences and often it would take them a How did the soldiers and their families deal with World War 1 ? Some of the men fell to pieces because of the torment they went through and needed psychological help to recover from their experiences of war . Life was never the same for some of the men as they had constant ‘ flashbacks ’ and nightmares about the war . Others had life - long injuries from having their limbs blow off and other serious injuries . Men could be in shock or suffering from the gases that they were exposed to . Often this meant that soldiers were unable to the employment and lifestyle they had had before leaving for In conclusion , life was really hard for the soldiers and their families because of the torment they went through on the brutal battlefields of WWI . None of the soldiers were prepared for the torment , neither were their families truly able to understand the full effects of the War upon their loved ones . WWI ultimately ended in 1919 but not before the lives of millions of people had been change for ever . | [

http://exploration.marinersmuseum.org/subject/jeanne-baret/ | Jeanne Baret Explorer Age of Discovery Quick Facts : She was a French botanist and explorer . She unknowingly became the first woman to sail around the entire globe . Name : Jeanne Baret [ ( French ) zhahn ] [ buh - rey ] Birth / Death : July 27 , 1740 – August 5 , 1807 Nationality : French Birthplace : Autun , France Jeanne Baret Image of Jeanne Baret . ‘ MAD LLA BARÉ ’ , Engraving , artist unknown . From Navigazioni de Cook pel grande oceano e itorno al globo , Volume 2 , 1816 , Sonzogono e Comp , Milano . ( Credit : Bio Heritage Library ) Introduction Jeanne Baret sailed around the world as part of the first French circumnavigation of the globe from 1766 to 1769 . At this time , France was looking to expand its economy . So the French government funded hundreds of expeditions to travel around the world . Although Baret initially joined the voyage to assist Philibert Commerson , she studied many new plants and the environments in which they grew . Without knowing , Jeanne Baret became the first woman to circumnavigate the world . It is only in recent years that Baret ’ s story became a more recognized Biography Early Life Jeanne Baret was born July 27 , 1740 in Autun , France to Jean and Jeanne Baret . Her family was poor . One record indicates that her father was a day laborer who helped with farming and harvesting . 1 Since she grew up in a rural area , Baret became skilled at gathering and learning about different plants . Although she had no formal education , Jeanne Baret possessed a strong knowledge of botany at a young age . She became known as an “ herb woman ” due to her knowledge of botanical ( plant ) medicine . Years later , Baret was employed as a housekeeper to Philibert Commerson . Commerson studied medicine , natural history , and botany – the study of plants . He had moved close to Jeanne ’ s hometown to work and 2 It was during this time that Baret and Commerson formed a close friendship . Commerson became much more personal when Commerson ’ s wife died in 1762 . Baret and Commerson lived together and had a child out of wedlock in 1764 . The couple moved to Paris and gave up their baby up for adoption soon after the child was born . Baret continued to act as a housekeeper and eventually a nurse for Commerson . In 1765 , Louis - Antoine de Bougainville , a French admiral and explorer , was asked to go discover new territories for France . Bougainville invited Commerson to join him as his botanist . He insisted Étoile Voyages Principal Voyage Two ships were part of this journey : The Boudeuse and the Étoile which Baret and Commerson sailed on . The set sail from Nantes , France in 1766 . Their goal was to circumnavigate – sail around – the world . One of the first stops made during the journey was in Montevideo , Uruguay . Commerson and Baret collected plant samples and observed the surrounding environment . During this excursion , Commerson was sickly and could not do much so Baret took over a majority of the work . After the stop in Montevideo , the ship sailed on to Rio de Janeiro , Brazil . Again , Commerson and Baret had the opportunity to explore the territory and Bougainvillea after the leader of the expedition . 3 After successfully sailing through the Strait of Magellan at the tip of South America , the reached Tahiti in 1767 . They encountered beautiful native women . So Bougainville named it New Cythera . In Greek mythology , Cythera was thought to be the birthplace to the goddess of love and beauty . 4 Baret was able to hide her true identify from the crew for much of the journey by remaining private and defensive . But in Tahiti Baret ’ s true identity was revealed . Historians do not know the actual story of how the reveal took place . One account notes that when she went ashore in Tahiti , the Tahitian natives quickly noticed her gender . When taken back aboard the she confessed to lying and revealed her true identity . 5 Subsequent Voyages Baret continued on the ship from Tahiti to New Ireland – located today in Papua New Guinea . Staying on board as a woman was sometimes dangerous . Some of the crewman wanted their own proof she was a woman . So they attacked Baret to see for themselves while she was out studying shells . 6 After this , Baret did not go ashore very often . In 1768 , the ship stopped in Mauritius , an island in the Indian Ocean , to restock its supplies . When the Etoile and Boudeuse were ready to head back to France , Baret and Commerson did not join them . They remained on Mauritius . Later Years and Death Commerson and Baret stayed on Mauritius as guests of Pierre Poivre , governor of the island . While living on Mauritius , Baret continued to act as Commerson ’ s housekeeper and nurse until his death in 1773 . Baret remained in Mauritius until she returned to France . At some point , she met a French soldier named Jean Dubernat . They married in May 1774 . 7 When Jeanne Baret returned to France in 1774 ( possibly early 1775 ) she completed her circumnavigation around the world . They moved to Dubernat ’ s hometown of in Saint - Aulaye where she remained until her death . Jeanne Baret died in Saint - Aulaye , France on August 5 , 1807 at the age of 67 . 8 Legacy Jeanne Baret ’ s achievement for being the first woman to circumnavigate the world was not always fully recognized . Her work and collections of exotic plants are still important information today . Baret herself did not record her experiences during the voyage . Travel logs from several crew members , though , reveal the hardships that she dealt with when her true identity was revealed . But the writing ’ s left behind by Bougainville and Commerson detail not only what she endured , but what she accomplished . In one translation of Commerson ’ s notes , he 9 Even though Jeanne Baret did not intend to be the first woman to circumnavigate the globe , we openly recognize her achievement .

http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/ijde/si-2 | International Journal of Digital Earth Special Issue Call for Papers Deadline : 31 August 2017 Human - Centered Virtual and Augmented Reality Geovisualization Environments Recent developments in 3D virtual reality ( VR ) and augmented reality ( AR ) technologies rekindled some excitement in various scientific domains , including geographic information science ( GIScience ) . Even though much of the VR / AR developments have been technology - driven , the opportunities for GIScience research and application are vast , and may result in nothing less than a paradigm shift in how we communicate and understand spatial environments . The immersive but relatively unconstrained nature of these environments allow for the exploration of unreachable spaces ( e.g. under the oceans , Mars explorations ) and times ( e.g. historical Rome ) in engaging and natural ways . Thus , the concept of a “ digital earth ” is possibly best actualized through VR / AR . We are keen to document the state of the art and case studies in science featuring VR and AR . Thus , this special issue on Human Centered Virtual and Augmented Geovisualization Environments by the International Journal of Digital Earth ( IJDE ) addresses user - centered visualization theories , concepts and applications that are related to VR / AR . Contributions to the special issue should report on unpublished research that advances the theory , design and technological implementation of new , cutting - edge human - centered augmented and virtual geovisualization environments . More specifically , we solicit original , state ‐ of - the ‐ art research that is linked to geographic information science , spatial cognition and human - computer interaction . The case studies may demonstrate the use of a variety of display paradigms in different domains , usability issues , and benefits and drawbacks of VR / AR in the above - listed domains . Potential topics include , but are not limited to , the following : Human - centered design principles for VR and AR Frameworks and workflows for 3D environmental modeling for built and natural environments Agile / user - centered software and hardware development case studies Empirical studies with VR and AR : usability , user experience , perceptual and cognitive experiments Human - computer interaction in VR and AR Spatio - temporal data visualization in VR Big data visualization and visual analytics in VR Applications of VR and AR in GIScience and related domains Submission Guidelines Submissions must follow the instructions to authors outlined on the Taylor & Francis web page for the International Journal of Digital Earth found : here . Both word and LaTeX templates are available on the web site and papers are typically 5000 ‐ 8000 words in length .

http://exploringoffthebeatenpath.com/Battlefields/FortBlakeley/index.html | Fort Blakeley , AL The War Ends and the Battle Begins Cialis 10mg A drawing of the final assault on Fort Blakeley from the May 27 , 1865 issue of Harper ' s Weekly , which had reporters at the battle . The terrain and movement depicted are fairly accurate . The accompanying article stated " It was probably the last charge of the war and as gallant as any on record . " April 9 , 1865 . Palm Sunday . It ' s 5 : 00 PM in southern Alabama , CSA . Two hours earlier and 700 miles to the northeast , General Lee had surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox , Virginia . The cessation of hostilities up north does n ' t change anything here . The Union army awaits the signal for the final assault on Fort Blakeley , the last Confederate fortification guarding the eastern side of Mobile Bay . It has been under siege and bombarded for days . When that signal comes , 16,000 Union Viagra for impotence The outcome of the battle is not in doubt . By this point in the war , the Union army is a battle - hardened war machine - competently led and with seemingly endless amounts of arms , ammunition and men . They have complete freedom of movement throughout the area and the defenders can only watch as thousands of Union soldiers in multiple columns dig their way closer and closer . Many of the rebel defenders slipped away from nearby Spanish Fort the previous night in an audacious escape plan . However , there will be no slipping away Viagra and hydrocodone The battlefield has been undisturbed for 146 years and still looks much like it did the day of the battle . The wooden backing was added in the 1980 ' s but the extensive earthworks throughout the area are the originals . It is now an Alabama State Park . The fort is an inter - connected maze of trenches and obstacles three miles long strengthened at intervals by nine redoubts - strong reinforced positions containing artillery , mortars and bunkers . The flanks of the perimeter are anchored on the banks of the Blakeley River , which is teeming with alligators , snakes and yellow fever . Inside the perimeter on the bank of the river is the town of Blakeley - or what ' s left of it . Most of its 4,000 inhabitants are long gone . Once a center of commerce and politics that rivaled Mobile before the Civil War , it has been under fire for days . The rebel defenders have no place to go . They are , however , determined to make a fight of it . Their commanders , unaware of developments in Virginia , continue to hope that maybe they can make the war long and painful enough for the Yankees to negotiate some sort of favorable outcome . The defenders of Spanish Fort held them up for 12 days before getting out . During that time , two Union ironclads were sunk by mines . Confederate ironclad gunboats are in the river behind them . If all that fails , they can make the Union take Mobile brick by brick . War Comes to Mobile A drawing of the blockade runner Denbigh , one of the most successful . Built specifically for their purpose , blockade runners were small , fast and shallow . Mobile blockade runners went to Havana , Cuba to offload and pick up cargo . Many of the boats were built , paid for and manned by the British . Five out of six blockade runners were successful in their runs , but their loads were so small that trade shrank 90 % . This is the last stand of the Confederate States of America . Mobile has been relatively untouched by the war in terms of physical destruction . Its factories and shipyards have kept the CSA forces armed and equipped . Its railroads and rivers have kept forces on the move . Its citizens have fed the army and cared for the wounded . Its blockade runners have provided much needed revenue and raw materials . In fact , Mobile is one of two southern ports that remain open for most of the war . ( The other is Wilmington , NC Both sides knew it would eventually come to this . Admiral David Farragut , commander of the gulf coast blockade squadron , wanted to attack in 1862 , but his theater of operations was n ' t a priority . The Confederates spent four years preparing Mobile ' s defenses . When the Union campaign finally started in August 1864 , Mobile , Alabama was one of the most heavily defended places on earth . Defenses , terrain , politics and logistics would drag out the campaign for nine months and bring the reality of war to the city . Rebel Defenses A hand drawn map from the Library of Congress showing Mobile Bay . This was done as an after - action item following the naval battle of August 5 , 1864 . Mobile was much smaller in area then . Tucked away in the northwest corner of Mobile Bay , it was protected on three sides by rivers , deltas , bayous , sandbars , islands , swamps and the salt water bay . Additionally , Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley were built on the eastern shore of the bay and additional smaller forts were placed on islands in the delta . Their purpose was to guard the back door into Mobile - an amphibious assault across the delta from the east . Thirty miles south , the single entrance to the bay was guarded by two massive brick and masonry forts - Fort Morgan on the east and Fort Gaines on the west . Other smaller batteries of dirt and wood were built on channel islands to interdict hostile shipping . The bay itself was a formidable obstacle . Due to the silt constantly pouring in from the surrounding rivers , the bay was shallow - too shallow for Union ships - of - the - line . There was one deep navigable channel . It ran directly under the guns of Fort Morgan . The Confederates also blocked much of the upper harbor with sunken obstacles , constructed floating batteries and laid mines ( then called torpedoes ) . The scourge of Mobile - Confederate underwater mines , then called torpedoes . This is a drawing in Harper ' s Weekly of the most common and deadly type - the Raines Keg Torpedo . A five gallon beer keg was sealed with pine pitch then filled with gunpowder and outfitted with a contact or electrical fuse . They could be anchored in place or attached to floats and allowed to drift on the tide towards anchored ships . The Confederacy deployed thousands of these , with the Mobile Bay area being especially concentrated . Though crude and prone to What was left of the Confederate Navy was harbored in the southern part of the bay , including the ironclad CSS Tennessee . Built in Selma and outfitted in Mobile , she was part battleship , part ironclad , part battering ram and one of the most dangerous warships in the world . Union ships that got through the Morgan - Gaines gauntlet and the mine fields would have to deal with the Tennessee . No wooden sailing vessel could take her . The only suitable land attack axis to Mobile was from the west . To counter that , the Confederates constructed three nested defensive belts . Incorporating artillery , infantry , obstacles and mines , these belts could mount 300 guns and 30,000 troops - more than enough to repel any assault the Union could mount . Yankee planners had no good options , which may have been one of the reasons why the Mobile campaign came so late in the war . They were hoping the war would end before the attack became necessary . Eventually , though , they had to act . Yankee Options A Google map overhead of modern Mobile with an overlay of Civil War defenses ( in red ) and Union attack plans ( in blue ) . Once Blakeley was taken , the forts and batteries in the delta would be untenable . The Union would still have to deal with mine fields , which were sowed throughout the delta . Additionally , they would have to neutralize Confederate ironclad gunboats which were perfect for this kind of area and patrolled it constantly . That meant getting their own gunboats upriver . During the siege of Spanish Fort , two The land assault from the west was dismissed early on as too costly and too hard to support . At this point in the war , the Confederates would have been hard pressed to muster enough assets to fully man the defensive belts but planners had to assume worst case scenarios . Besides , the western land attack had other problems . With the Union now operating out of Pensacola , Florida an attack from the west would mean extended supply lines through hostile territory and / or a sea bridge along the coast of Hurricane Alley . Another option was an amphibious attack right up the bay . The Union army had conducted almost 50 seaborne assaults during the war but not one of this scale . Defensive preparations , obstacles and the characteristics of the bay meant it would be almost impossible to get enough concentrated combat power ashore quickly enough to do the job . These same problems also interfered with a plan to bombard the city into submission . The maximum range of naval cannon was only about a mile . The largest ground based siege mortars could range out to three miles but sacrificed a great deal of accuracy at that distance . Getting within range of the city with enough guns to do the job was not realistic . That left an attack through the back door . This would be a combined land and sea assault launched from the eastern shore of the bay attacking west across six miles of river deltas . Supply lines were shortest and the operation could be done in phases . One of those phases would be the capture of Fort Blakeley and nearby Spanish Fort . Together , they guarded the best place on the eastern shore from which to launch an attack . Additionally , when those forts fell , the Confederates would have to withdraw all their other delta defenses A direct assault on the city was a last resort . Ultimately , military planners hoped that Mobile could be compelled to surrender by increasing pressure on it and demonstrating the futility of resistance . The Union put a noose around Mobile ' s neck in August 1864 . They spent the next nine months tightening it . August 5 , 1864 - Battle of Mobile Bay From the Naval Historical Center , an artist ' s historically accurate rendering of the Battle of Mobile Bay . The red arrow is the CSS Tennessee moving to engage although it probably was n ' t this close to Fort Morgan . The blue arrow is the doomed USS Tecumseh , which will be on the bottom in 30 seconds with the skipper and 92 others . Only seven escape . Four are taken prisoner when they swim ashore . As it keeled over , Fort Morgan put two rounds into the hull , strewing artifacts all over the At dawn on August 5 , 1864 , Admiral Farragut commenced the Mobile campaign . His plan was simple - barrel right by Fort Morgan at full speed with guns blazing , get out of the fort ' s cannon range then engage the rebel fleet in the open water of the lower bay . His fleet of 18 ships included four ironclad gunboats and 14 wooden warships with a total of 192 guns . Seven of the wooden ships were steam - powered side wheelers which needed no sails . The 14 men - of - war were lashed The inbound floodtide added to their speed and would carry damaged ships into the bay . Onshore winds blew their smoke right into Fort Morgan . The Tecumseh opened fire at 0646 and the fight was on . The ironclads were impervious to Morgan ' s shells and came in close to engage at point blank range . They fired canister at gun embrasures to kill gun crews and suppress fire while the wooden hulls ran the gauntlet . Fort Morgan ' s 45 guns fired less than 500 rounds total during the whole battle and Fort Gaines was out As the fleet entered the danger zone where they were closest to Fort Morgan , the Tecumseh hit a torpedo ( underwater mine ) right off shore and sank in 30 seconds with the loss of 93 out of 100 crewmen . Farragut ' s lead ship USS Brooklyn , afraid of sharing the Tecumseh ' s fate , slowed down which threatened to bottle up the fleet right under the fort ' s guns . Farragut ordered his flagship USS Hartford to speed around the Brooklyn and assume the lead . It was this action that led to his Now past Fort Morgan , the Union fleet engaged the approaching Confederate warships . Except for the CSS Tennessee , they were hopelessly outclassed and outgunned . All the Tennessee ' s escorts were out of action in minutes . The Tennessee decided to engage the entire Union fleet on its own and a wild melee ensued . A picture of the CSS Tennessee taken shortly after the battle . Its low clearance in the water is normal . The bow and its underwater ram are to the left . Hasty repairs by the Union got it back in action for the bombardment of Fort Morgan two weeks later . After that , she went to New Orleans for dry dock , then joined the Mississippi Squadron for the rest of the war . After the war , she was sold for scrap although several of her cannon are on display in Selma AL , Norfolk VA and All unsinkable ships have an Achille ' s Heel and the Tennessee had several . It was very slow and cumbersome . It could barely make any headway against the tide . It attempted to ram Union ships which were able to dodge her . Additionally , the chain that linked the helm to the rudder was routed over the deck . Once it was blown away , the Tennessee could no longer maneuver . Soon she was surrounded by Union ships ramming her and blasting away muzzle to muzzle from every direction . Finally , she had enough and By 10 : 00 AM , the Union fleet owned the lower bay . It had taken a little over three hours . Casualties had been light , with the crew of the sunken Tecumseh making up the bulk of them . The admiral ' s attention now turned to the forts . August 6 to August 23 - Capturing Fort Gaines and Fort Morgan Though very different in temperament and style , Admiral Farragut ( L ) and General Granger ( R ) ran an effective and well coordinated combined arms operation against the forts of Mobile Bay . Capturing a fort requires troops on the ground . Admiral Farragut had 2,000 soldiers under the command of Major General Gordon Granger . Fort Gaines would be first . Located on strategic Dauphin Island , it had been out of range of the naval battle . Dauphin Island had space , excellent anchorages and its own fresh water sources . Granger had already landed on the island two days before the battle in the bay . While Fort Gaines watched the naval engagement , Granger ' s men were dragging siege guns through the soft sand to within 1,000 yards On the morning of August 6 , Farragut ' s ironclads closed in on Fort Gaines and started blasting away . Granger did the same from the land side . The fort ' s main batteries were destroyed , its walls breached and its ammo supply dangerously exposed within hours . They surrendered the next day . Fort Morgan would be a tougher nut to crack . It was a massive installation , with inner and outer defensive walls , a wide dry moat and an internal citadel . Farragut started lobbing shells into Morgan at irregular intervals around the clock on August 6 . Granger landed east of the fort on August 9 and began digging siege trenches towards the east wall . There was little the fort defenders could do . On August 21 , Granger ' s assault trenches were almost to the outer wall and his heavy siege mortars were in range . The Citadel inside Fort Morgan shortly after the battle . Originally covered by a roof , it burned up in a huge fire that lit up the target for Union gunners and threatened the fort ' s ammo storage . The Citadel was beyond repair and torn down . Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines were both repaired and served in various capacities through WW II . They are now Alabama state historical sites . At dawn on August 22 , a massive sea and land bombardment commenced . Fort Morgan returned fire but as the hours went by , its fire was less and less while Union fire increased . Twenty four non - stop hours later , the bombardment was totally one - sided . Morgan was a stationary target . The walls were breached , all its guns were out of action and the interior was on fire . At dawn on the 23rd , a powder magazine blew up with a tremendous blast . Other magazines would soon follow . Realizing The imposing brick forts had been defeated rather easily - a trend throughout the Civil War . They simply could n ' t stand up to modern firepower . Mobile was now cut off and surrounded . There would be no more blockade running , no more reinforcements and no more sustaining rebel forces . The Union owned everything around Mobile but did n ' t have the manpower to march on the city . The defenders did n ' t know that and were expecting an attack any day . Six months later , they were still waiting . A Dark and Deadly Summer The dead at Cold Harbor in September 1864 - three months after the battle . Grant ' s horrific losses in mid - 1864 compelled him to draw manpower away from other theaters to keep going . This led directly to General Early ' s attack on a weakened Washington DC , which came dangerously close to succeeding . From late August 1864 to early March 1865 , there was little action in the Mobile theater . It was n ' t originally planned that way , but the Union had its hands full up north and could n ' t spare the thousands of troops needed for the final attacks . In fact , the victory at Mobile Bay was one of the few bright spots for the Union through the dark days of the spring and summer of 1864 . This was the most dangerous period of the war for the Union and President Lincoln , both General Grant was now commanding all the Union forces . His spring Overland Campaign in Virginia was costing tens of thousands of casualties with little to show for it . At Cold Harbor on June 3 , 1864 , he lost 7,000 men in 20 minutes . It was ( and still is ) the single most brutal and lopsided military loss in American history . To replace the thousands of troops he was losing , Grant took manpower from where ever he could . One big source was Washington , DC . At the beginning of 1864 , DC was encircled by 70 forts and batteries mounting almost 1,000 guns and manned by 30,000 troops . By late spring , the number of defenders was down to 9,000 and many of them were home guard and convalescing soldiers . Confederate spies reported that the city was weakly defended . General Lee hatched an audacious plan to break the siege he was under at Petersburg and A detachment of Massachusetts Heavy Artillery at Fort Stevens in August 1865 . Fort Stevens was one of 70 fortifications encircling Washington DC during the war . Washington defenders were pulled out in large numbers to support Grant ' s Overland Campaign in Virginia , Confederate spies reported to Lee that the city was lightly defended , leading to Early ' s raid . Notice the flat open Maryland countryside outside the fort . Today , Walter Reed Army Hospital is there . The fort was de - commissioned shortly after this picture was taken and fell into disrepair . On July 9 , less than a month before Mobile Bay , Washington DC came under attack from a very unlikely direction . A Confederate army 14,000 strong commanded by General Jubal Early came out of the Shenandoah Valley and marched on DC from the north . They closed to within 30 miles of the city before being vigorously engaged by a ragtag pickup force at the Battle of Monocacy Junction . The commander of that force was General Lew Wallace , who had commanded the " Lost Division " at Shiloh and been cashiered by Grant . Although Early Early resumed his march on July 11 and engaged Union troops at Fort Stevens , just south of Silver Spring , MD and inside the city limits of the capital . They skirmished and exchanged artillery fire for two days as Early probed for a weakness . During that time , President Lincoln rode out to the fort to watch the action himself . Legend has it that his entourage was engaged by Confederate snipers and the President had to be forcibly dragged to a safer position . Another story goes that Captain Oliver Wendell Holmes yelled at Lincoln " Early finally broke off the attack and headed back to the Shenandoah . Monocacy Junction was the Confederates ' biggest victory in the north and the closest they came to the capital . It was a hollow victory though . If they had gotten to Fort Stevens on the 9th as planned , they would have found it defended by old men , young boys and wounded soldiers . The outcome likely would have been very different and a very bad Union summer would have turned into a catastrophe . Early did n ' t have enough combat power to The Tide Turns Lincoln ' s second inauguration on March 4 , 1865 . His opponent was former Union General George McClellan , who Lincoln had relieved of command early in the war . McClellan , running as a peace candidate , was a very popular public figure and might well have won if not for the string of Union victories that began with Mobile Bay . This picture from the Library of Congress is the only one known of Lincoln giving a speech . He is under the blue arrow . Under the red arrow , clearly visible in the top gallery By March of 1865 , the tenor of the war had changed completely . The Union was scoring victory after victory with overwhelming numbers and firepower . The Confederacy was on the run almost everywhere . In the East , General Sherman took Atlanta , did the March to the Sea and was now rampaging in the Carolinas . General Sheridan finally secured the Shenandoah Valley once and for all , wrecking Jubal Early ' s army in the process . Richmond and Petersburg were under siege , taking Lee ' s Army of Northern Virginia from the field . In the West , Confederate General John Bell Hood ' s Army of Tennessee was destroyed at the battles of Franklin and Nashville . Many of Hood ' s men found their way to Mobile . The only active Confederate maneuver force left was General Joseph Johnston in North Carolina and Sherman ' s army was after him . Beating the odds , Lincoln was re - elected in November 1864 with 55 % of the popular vote and 213 out of 233 electoral votes . On February 3 , 1865 he met with CSA vice - president Alexander Stevens in Norfolk , Virginia to discuss a peace treaty . They walked away with nothing . Lincoln and his generals knew it was time to go for the kill . By the time he was inaugurated on March 4 , 1865 , 45,000 Union troops were on the ground and moving towards Fort Blakeley . The last phases of A Long March A graphic of Canby ' s battle plan against Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley . It took almost the whole month of March to get to their initial siege positions . The weather , the terrain and the defenders made life Hell for the Union columns , but the ultimate outcomes were never in doubt . Mobile ' s commander was Major General Dabney Maury . He had about 9,000 men , many of whom had straggled in from the defeated Army of Tennessee . All his defenses were still intact and they had been working furiously to strengthen Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley . Despite the lack of military activity , Mobile was feeling the pressure . They were running out of everything . There had been food riots and civilian unrest . Everyone knew the war was lost and no one , including Maury , wanted to see this beautiful city destroyed in the His Union counterpart was Major General Edward Canby . He and Maury were good friends who had served together before the war . Canby had 32,000 men at the lower end of the bay and another 13,000 marching in from Pensacola . The naval squadron , now commanded by Admiral Thatcher , had been scouting the bay for months and now knew they could operate their ironclad gunboats close in along the eastern shore . Canby ' s scheme of maneuver was to march his men north up the east side of the bay and lay siege to Spanish Fort . The Pensacola column , led by General Steele , would come in from the northeast and lay siege to Fort Blakeley . Spanish Fort would be attacked first , then everything would be thrown at Blakeley . The ironclads would move parallel with Canby ' s army as far as possible to provide security and fire support . The marches were miserable . In addition to the usual swamps , bayous , quicksand , mosquitoes , heat , snakes and alligators it rained buckets for almost the entire month of March . The defenders of both forts sent out scouts and patrols to recon and harass the Yankee columns . Movement was slow but relentless and ultimately successful . On March 27 , 1865 , General Canby ' s army arrived at a point about 2,000 yards from Spanish Fort and deployed for their siege . On April 1 , General Steel overran an outpost about 1,500 yards Siege Warfare 101 A Union rifle pit at Fort Blakeley , still battle worthy after 146 years . It would have been about two feet deeper and held 2 - 3 men . It ' s around 400 yards to the redoubt off the top of the picture . Siege warfare in 1865 had n ' t changed much since the Roman Empire . For your average soldier , it meant one thing - dig . Attackers dug zigzag assault trenches towards the enemy position , dragging artillery behind them . As soon as they got within range , the guns would start firing . The digging , dragging and firing routine continued . Rifle pits were dug and filled with infantry , who moved between them in connecting trenches . These were called " skirmish lines " and they moved forward as the siege progressed , creating a The defenders , of course , had something to say about this . They dug too and answered fire with fire . Obstacles were placed as far forward as possible , ranged in and covered by fire . Skirmish lines of their own were put forward . Opposing skirmish lines were sometimes only yards apart . The Civil War is full of stories of yanks and rebs yelling jokes and insults back and forth then killing each other the next day . A portion of the final Union zigzag trench at Fort Blakeley . This leads to the forward skirmish line . The redoubt is off to the right . The defenders would also maintain an offensive posture as long as possible . This meant sending out patrols and raids to engage the advancing enemy , cause maximum casualties and gather information . Digging was a night time job . There was little fighting at night during the Civil War with the exception of patrols and artillery fire . Shooting was done during the day and snipers were active on both sides . Being above ground during the day within 500 yards of the enemy greatly increased the chances of being killed . So your average trooper on either side fought all day and dug all night - hungry , thirsty , dirty , sleep deprived , under fire and going to the bathroom in some corner of their trench or rifle pit Two of the key planning numbers for both sides were 500 yards and 1500 yards . Five hundred yards was the effective range of infantry rifles . Good snipers with telescopic sights could go to 1,000 or more . Once inside 500 yards , rifle fire became prolific and deadly , greatly slowing down the digging of the assault force . Fifteen hundred yards was the range of the 12 pounder Napoleon , the standard artillery piece in both armies . Used extensively in direct fire mode , it could launch a 12 pound shell accurately for almost a mile . It could also shred infantry assaults with grapeshot , canister and case rounds . In that mode , it was a fearsome weapon . Defensive warfare is inherently stronger than offense in the short term . The effects of sustained and accurate rifle and cannon fire from a prepared defensive position has many advantages . Overcoming that was a key planning factor in sieges . In the Civil War , that translated to more cannon , more men and more ammo than the defenders had - a lot more . Fifteen hundred yards was the range of the 12 pounder Napoleon , so designated because its shell weighed 12 pounds . Made of bronze or iron and muzzle loaded , it was the wheeled horse - drawn cannon used by both sides . There were bigger guns with greater range but they were harder to move and support . The Napoleon was the workhorse and once it was within 1500 yards , it could be brought to bear . However , it was usually used in a direct fire mode from much closer ranges . It was most fearsome firing At the other end of the spectrum was the siege mortar . These five ton behemoths could fire a 200 pound projectile almost three miles . These are the weapons that shattered " bombproof " bunkers . With their high angle of fire , they could also shoot from defilade positions and arc their rounds over high , unbreached walls or into deep trenches . They were highly inaccurate at maximum range , so they were moved progressively closer as a siege wore on . Utilizing these weapons required a dedicated siege train of logistics , transportation and engineering . There was little maneuver in a siege . It was a war of attrition . At some point the attackers would stop digging , increase their bombardment and launch a final assault from their forward positions . When , where and how that happened was totally dependent on the situation . Civil War sieges could last for months , as they did at Vicksburg and Petersburg or only days . That was the case at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley . Spanish Fort An information placard at the Chamber of Commerce gives an excellent overview of operations at Spanish Fort . The faint gray line running from the center to the upper left hand corner shows Gibson ' s escape route . Unfortunately , there is nothing left to see of the battlefield . We have to rely on sources like this . Spanish Fort was so named because it was once . . .a Spanish fort . It was situated on a high hill with a large flat top that ran north / south , steep sides and easy access to the bay . Natural lines of commerce and communication criss - crossed over and around it . It also got steady breezes off the bay , which cooled it a bit and reduced the mosquito population . In addition to the Spanish , it had been fortified by the French , British and Americans for 150 years . Local Indian tribes Canby ' s 32,000 men and 100 cannon were facing 1,800 defenders and 40 cannon led by Brigadier General Randall Gibson . Spanish Fort ' s defenses consisted of trenches , obstacles , land mines and artillery redoubts in a semi - circle two miles long and 1,000 yards wide . Its flanks were anchored on the north by Bay Minette and on the south by the Blakeley River . Further strengthening the position were two hilltop bastions . Fort McDermott , positioned at the southern end of the hilltop , guarded the land approaches . The second bastion , In addition to all the defensive preparations , Maury ordered Gibson to prepare an escape route along the river to the delta batteries where boats would pick them up . The route was scouted and where necessary , a wooden walkway was constructed to span water and mud gaps . It was covered with dirt and moss to hide it . Row boats were stashed at Fort Huger and Fort Tracy , the artillery batteries out in the delta . Maury left the escape timing up to Gibson . When he decided to evacuate , he was to contact Maury A Confederate redoubt near Petersburg in 1864 . This is typical of prepared defenses on both sides . The gun embrasures can be clearly seen as well as the underground shelters called " bombproofs " . Beyond , you can see the abatis stakes sticking out of the ground towards the enemy . Spanish Fort . would have looked much the same at the start of the battle but not the end . This position was probably abandoned . It ' s too intact to have been through a siege bombardment . Gibson was a very competent and aggressive commander determined to make the Yankees pay dearly . His men put up a tough fight . They regularly sortied out and conducted hit and run spoiling attacks on federal units . They were so successful that Canby estimated it was defended by 10,000 men . Their snipers were particularly active and made daytime movement extremely hazardous for the Yankees . Their artillery was very accurate and they had an effective counter - battery response to Union guns . Within days , however , the weight of the Union forces was beginning to By April 8 , almost all of Gibson ' s guns were wrecked . Canby ' s big siege mortars found their range and started raining shells on Spanish Fort . No place was safe . Underground bunkers with six feet of dirt and logs overhead were collapsing . The outer defenses on his left ( northern ) flank were breached late in the day . One more rush in the morning would end it . It was time to get out of Dodge . Abatis , a common anti - personnel obstacle used for centuries in various forms . Layers of this were utilized at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley . The weakness of wooden obstacles is that they can be blown apart with artillery , which is what happened to much of it in these battles . On the night of April 8 , Gibson executed his escape plan . He telegraphed General Maury , who sent boats for a Dunkirk - style evacuation . His men spiked the remaining guns and destroyed what they could n ' t carry . Then carrying their weapons and as much ammo and food as they could , his men walked barefoot along the planned route literally under the muzzles of Union guns and pickets . Boats launched all night . The row boats went to Fort Blakeley . The steam boats sent by Maury went to Mobile . Overall The Battle of Spanish Fort was one of the great defensive stands of the Civil War . Likewise , the night time withdrawal under pressure was a textbook operation . Gibson ' s command held off a force over 16 times its size for 12 days and then slipped away unseen to fight another day . And that ' s all it would be - another day . The defenders who went to Mobile were the lucky ones . They had probably seen their last hostile fire . The new defenders of Fort Blakeley landed in a very hot situation A commanding view of upper Mobile Bay from the parapet of an Old Spanish Fort gun emplacement . Gibson ' s escape route started down over the lip and off to the right . The I - 10 bridge is in the background . The picture is slightly fuzzy from morning fog . This hilltop that was the center of the fort became a housing development about 30 years ago . At about the same time Gibson ' s men were escaping on the night of April 8 , Robert E . Lee and his commanders were meeting to discuss a message from General Grant asking him to consider surrender . Surrounded and cut off , they decided to try one last breakout on the morning of April 9 . The plan was to link up with General Johnston in the mountains of North Carolina and continue fighting . The breakout attempt became the Battle of Appomattox Courthouse . After a sharp early morning fight , Lee found his battered army being converged on from three directions by 100,000 Union troops . Facing annihilation , Lee decided to call it quits . At about the same time Canby ' s men were overrunning Spanish Fort on the morning of April 9 , Lee was sending word to Grant that he was willing to discuss surrender terms . By 3 : 00 PM , Lee had surrendered his army . Canby , of course , had no way of knowing this when he sent orders to General Steele to take Fort Blakeley now . Fort Blakeley A defender ' s view of the battle area taken from the apex of Redoubt # 4 . The blue arrow indicates the spot where the attacking line formed up and moved forward . The guy and his dog are walking along the rim of the ravine right about the spot where the Union wave came out less than 100 yards away . The blind spot and dead space to their immediate front proved to be the defenders ' undoing . Why they did n ' t cover it better is a mystery . They had obstacles out but obstacles Fort Blakeley was a lousy place to defend . It was not a natural defensive position . From a defenders standpoint , the terrain had few if any redeeming features . It was flat to gently rolling ground that offered no advantages in terms of observation or fields of fire . Once heavily forested with pine trees , they had been clear cut to support the war . The entire area was open and covered with deadfall , both in front of and behind the defenders . This would hinder movement but it could cut both ways . There were blind spots in front of them and several deep ravines that went right through the perimeter . There were no cooling breezes at Fort Blakeley . In addition to the Yankees , they were under attack by the springtime onslaught of mosquitoes . So why put a fort here in the first place ? To deny access to the town of Blakeley . Blakeley was an early 1800 ' s trade and transportation boomtown that peaked in the 1820 ' s with a population of 4,000 people . It was named for the man who founded it , Josiah Blakeley . To him , it was a speculative business venture , selling lots in Alabama ' s next great sea port . His town was situated along the Blakeley River in a natural bowl that sloped gently right into the water and could accommodate deep draft ships . However , the bowl was infested with disease - carrying Inside the apex of Redoubt # 4 . The red arrow points to the spot where the above picture was taken . The black arrow points out a firing step for infantry . Two restored artillery embrasures are seen on either side of the arrows . In the bottom right hand corner is the edge of the mortar pit . The redoubt continues behind the picture with more artillery and infantry positions and overhead bunkers . mosquitoes . Yellow fever epidemics decimated the population and land grabbers ran up the price of real estate to unaffordable levels . By the beginning of the Civil War , it was almost deserted . Wartime support brought the population back up to several thousand people but that ' s not what the fort was defending . Blakeley had buildings , fresh water , roads and river - side docks with deep water access all the way to the Gulf of Mexico . It was perfect for staging , launching and supporting the Union ' s planned amphibious operations against Given the lousy terrain , the commander of Fort Blakeley , Brigadier General Liddell , did the best he could . His lines basically ran south to north along the rim of the bowl to the east of town . Covering a straight line distance of 2500 yards , they meandered for almost three miles in total length . The fort was anchored by nine strengthened dirt and wood redoubts placed at key points . Redoubt # 4 was at the center of the line , almost sticking out by itself , and was also the biggest and strongest . A reinforced bunker on a defilade slope of Redoubt # 4 that was repaired in the 1980 ' s or 90 ' s . This could have protected troops or ammo or been a headquarters . It is well protected from any of the direct or indirect fire weapons the Union used during the battle . The gun positions and infantry ramparts are close by . You can see the north ( left ) end of the redoubt in the upper left hand corner . The line goes around the bunker and continues on to the right . In front of the lines , obstacles of all sorts were placed in depth . These included two rings of abatis , wire , tanglefoot , mines and sharpened stakes placed 100 and 200 hundred yards out . Most but not all were covered by fire . Uncovered obstacles were placed in dead space and blind spots . Around each redoubt , a trench was dug and filled with thorns and the Civil War version of punji sticks . Each artillery piece had a ready supply of canister rounds to use when the Union troops were hung up in the What was lacking was any defense in depth or a reserve . These are critical to deal with breakthroughs to prevent one gap from compromising the entire line , but Liddell had none . Again , the terrain played a factor . From the frontline , it was all downhill to the town . There really was n ' t any place to stop and mount a secondary defense or counter - attack . Once Fort Blakeley ' s line was breached , it would be a foot race to the river . It was a hold or die situation The Last Battle of the Civil War A map captured by the Union the day of the battle showing the dispositions of both sides . Note the cut up terrain and the close proximity of the final attack position - about 400 yards . General Steele ' s column deployed into their initial positions in front of Fort Blakeley on April 1 when they ran into Confederate outposts about 1,500 yards out . Since they were already in range with their Napoleons , they engaged immediately and started digging . The actions around Redoubt # 4 are the best documented and had the most influence on the battle . The Union commander storming Redoubt # 4 was Colonel Frederick Moore , commander of the 3rd Brigade , 2nd Division of General Granger ' s XIII Corps . He had infantry regiments from Ohio , Iowa and Illinois along with artillery from Massachusetts . They had been sent here as reinforcements from Spanish Fort several days earlier and found themselves facing the strongest and most strategic point on the Blakeley line . Artillery fire and digging were continuous for the next week . Not only did the cannon fire protect the troops digging forward , it inflicted casualties and damage on the redoubt and demolished much of the obstacle belts . The defenders returned fire but the Union siege trenches moved forward relentlessly . The forward position of Colonel Moore ' s Massachusetts artillery battery built on the night of April 6 . From here they dueled with Redoubt # 4 on April 7 and got the worst of it . It was operational the next day and fired continuously through the final assault . The jump off point for the 83rd Ohio was just beyond the left end of the position . By April 6 , Moore ' s brigade was 500 yards from Fort Blakeley . His lead skirmish line was 100 yards closer and literally a stone ' s throw from Confederate skirmishers . A large parallel trench had been dug next to the artillery battery as well as a zigzag trench to the rifle pits . Those can all still be seen today . The night of April 6 , the engineers and artillerymen built a strong artillery position that had direct line of sight with Redoubt # 4 . The next day , the two sides engaged in a direct fire artillery duel . The Confederate guns blew apart the Union artillery ' s new position and took the battery out of action temporarily . Things heated up the night of April 7 . The Confederates sent a raiding party to attack the artillery position as it was being repaired and spike the guns to render them useless . Union skirmishers intercepted them and fought them off . On April 9 , Spanish Fort fell and the order to assault Fort Blakeley was issued . In front of Redoubt # 4 , the 83rd Ohio filled the parallel trench by the artillery battery . Other units filled in behind them . The 83rd would lead the attack . Its plan was to move into the wide ravine between them and the redoubt , get through it quickly and make a quick charge from the other end . The ravine offered a covered and concealed approach to within 75 yards of the redoubt . Many of the obstacles had The line of attack as seen by the Union after overrunning the nearest line of Confederate skirmishers At 5 : 45 PM , the attack commenced . The 83rd Ohio came out of their trenches and moved forward in a skirmish line . The men in the rifle pits joined them as the Napoleons fired furiously overhead . The 83rd ' s regimental band swapped instruments for axes and accompanied the front wave as pioneers . They battered down obstacles under fire to clear lanes of attack . Both attackers and defenders started dropping almost immediately . Confederate skirmishers initially tried to fight off the assault but quickly realized this was the real thing . Those who were n ' t killed or captured headed for the safety of the redoubt . The Ohioans were close behind and flowed into the ravine . Seeing their progress , Colonel Moore sent his follow on waves along the same route . In a matter of minutes , 2,000 Union soldiers were rapidly advancing on Redoubt # 4 . Re - entering friendly lines in combat can get pretty dicey . Doing it under fire and being chased by the enemy is downright hazardous . No doubt the Confederate skirmishers were running full speed at the redoubt screaming at their comrades to hold their fire . They did . There was a momentary lull in the firing . The Confederate skirmishers got to the safety of their lines just as the 83rd roared out of the ravine and sprinted toward the redoubt . It was so quick the artillery did n ' t get a chance to depress their An attacker ' s view of Redoubt # 4 coming out of the ravine . The rebs could n ' t depress their artillery far enough or fast enough to fire on the Union forces . Seconds later , a sea of blue went up and around the strongpoint . Resistance crumbled . The defenders raced downhill to the town with the Yankees in hot pursuit . Some of the Confederates tried to make stands but were quickly overwhelmed . An estimated 200 jumped into the river to escape , their ultimate fates unknown . By the time the mopping up was done , over 3,000 Confederate defenders were prisoners . Four hundred of them had been taken at Redoubt # 4 , including Brigadier General Liddell . Overall casualties had been light . Both sides had about 100 killed and 400 wounded . These were amazingly small numbers for a war that had seen thousands of casualties in similar battles . The POW ' s were destined for a prison camp at Fort Massachusetts on Ship Island just off the coast of Mississippi . But first , they had one more duty to perform . As part of their defenses , the Confederates had buried thousands of " sub - terra rounds . " Today we call them land mines . They were crude and ineffective , having inflicted no casualties on the Union attackers . However , they were potentially devastating in a post - war environment , since each one was an artillery round buried in the ground with Word of the defeat soon reached Mobile . Now the big question was , " What will Maury do ? " Surrender ? Evacuate ? Or street fight ? Mobile Surrenders This sketch is from the Harper ' s Weekly magazine edition of April 29 , 1865 . It depicts the landing of Union occupation troops near Mobile on April 12 . On April 10 , Major General Maury mustered 4,000 troops and marched out of Mobile following a rail line to the northwest . True to his word , he would not sacrifice the city or his soldiers but he was not ready to give up the fight . His plan was to join General Johnston in North Carolina . That same day , Mayor Robert Slough ordered white flags put out and declared Mobile an " open city " , meaning it would not defend itself . On April 11 , General Canby ' s staff met with city officials to coordinate the turnover . Union troops marched into Mobile at noon on April 12 . General Maury ' s mission to continue fighting was short - lived . Union cavalry went after him and fought several skirmishes with his rear guard . He burned several railroad bridges to slow his pursuers and harass the Union . When he found out that Lee and Johnston had surrendered , he did the same at Citronelle , Alabama on May 5 , 1865 . Aftermath After the war , Grant openly criticized General Canby , saying the attack on Fort Blakeley had been unnecessary . It ' s hard to see how Canby had any other choice . He was still in a hot war and General Maury clearly intended to keep fighting . Maybe Canby told Grant , " Cold Harbor was unnecessary too . " Grant of course went on to become the 18th President of the United States in 1868 . He served two terms and ran unsuccessfully for a third . He died of throat cancer in 1885 and is buried Immediately after his surrender , Robert E . Lee said goodbye to his troops and went home , but not to his beloved 1,100 acre estate on the Potomac River overlooking the Washington Mall . That was seized by the Union for Arlington National Cemetery , in part to ensure that Lee never came back . The first burials were in his wife ' s rose garden . He became the President of Washington College ( now called Washington and Lee ) in Lexington , Virginia and put it on the path from a sleepy southern school to a major General Edward Canby stayed in the Army and held a variety of staff positions during the Reconstruction . In 1870 , he was assigned to the Pacific Northwest . In November 1872 , he found himself involved in the Modoc War - a three way conflict between the Modoc tribe , the Klamath tribe and the US government . In April 1873 , he went to parlay with the Modocs . At the parlay site , they jumped him and cut his throat . President Grant attended his funeral in Indianapolis and several Union generals served as pall bearers . Admiral David Farragut very possibly saved Lincoln ' s presidency with his timely victory at Mobile Bay during the dark summer of 1864 . Transferred shortly after the battle , he continued his career as one of the most distinguished officers in U.S. Naval history . He first went to sea in 1810 at the age of nine and was in his 60th year of active duty when he died of a stroke in Portsmouth , NH in 1870 . He is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx . General Dabney Maury was destitute when he left the Confederate Army and struggled financially for years . After the war , he served in a number of positions in government , business and education . He became a prolific writer and was a major advocate of the " Lost Cause " view of the war , which he vigorously supported for the rest of his life . He died of natural causes in Peoria , IL in 1900 and is buried there . Brigadier General Randall Gibson , who led the magnificent stand at Spanish Fort , was a Kentucky native raised on his father ' s sugar plantation in Terrebone Parish , Louisiana . He graduated from Yale in 1853 followed by law school at the University of Louisiana ( which later became Tulane University ) . He joined the Confederate Army in 1861 and fought the entire war , seeing action at Shiloh , Chickamauga and Atlanta before being sent to Mobile . After the war , he returned to the practice of law and entered politics . In 1875 , So What Was R - e - e - e - ally the Last Battle of the Civil War ? The CSS Shenandoah was built in Britain as the troop transport Sea King , secretly sold to the Confederacy and re - outfitted as a warship on the high seas . She had an international crew of Americans , Brits , Aussies and many others . As warships go , she was lightly armed , with only four guns per side - 2 x eight inch cannons , 1 x 12 pound Whitworth and 1x32 pound Whitworth - but that was enough for the undefended ships she preyed on . After the war , the British turned her over to In school , the history books teach that the surrender of Robert E . Lee ended the Civil War . That is not true . He only surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia . There were still thousands of troops and commanders from Virginia to Texas that were ready , willing and able to continue fighting . An unrepentant Jefferson Davis , who fled Richmond on Lee ' s advice two days before the surrender , ordered General Johnston in North Carolina to keep fighting . He did but not for long . Recognizing it was hopeless , Johnston surrendered to General Sherman on April 26 . Davis was captured in Georgia on May 10 . By some accounts , he was headed to Texas to join General Kirby Smith and re - establish the Confederate government . Smith ' s Texas units were among the last to surrender on May 26 but fought right to the end . The CSS Shenandoah , a commerce raider , was sinking Yankee whaling ships in the Aleutian Islands in July when they found out the war was over . Rather than surrender in a U.S. port and face piracy charges , she sailed to Liverpool , England via Cape Horn . Every warship in the U.S. Navy was out looking for her , but she managed to evade or outrun them . She entered the harbor on November 6 with the Confederate colors hoisted high . The Shenandoah had circled the globe , crossing the equator four times and traveling 58,000 miles in a continuous 12 1 / 2 month mission . She captured or sank 38 ships - most of them after Lee ' s surrender . The British negotiated a very quiet repatriation on the crew ' s behalf and gave the ship to the U.S. government . They also paid the U.S. 15.5 million dollars in damages . Was the Shenandoah a combatant or a pirate ? That depends on your point of view . The end of the Civil War was n ' t quick and it was n ' t clean . For that reason , there is an ongoing argument among authors and historians about what was really " The Last Battle of the Civil War . " Some say Blakeley . Some say Columbus , Georgia . Some say Palmito Ranch , Texas . Still others say it was the Shenandoah ' s attacks on the high seas . A case can be made for all depending on what conditions and assumptions are factored in . This web site has no interest in getting involved in that discussion . We are here to educate and enlighten about things that are off the beaten path . The Battle of Fort Blakeley certainly qualifies . Visiting the Area If you like forts , battlefields , museums , shipwrecks , Civil War history , back country roads , ghost towns , seafood , beaches , hiking , biking , canoeing , friendly people and geocaching , the Mobile Bay area is for you . KidsRN and I have spent the better part of the last three winters there enjoying all of it . There ' s still plenty of stuff to do yet . Here ' s a sampling of our expeditions . Historic Blakeley State Park has the most incredible Civil War fortifications I have ever seen . They have sat undisturbed in this sleepy back country area since the end of the war . With the exception of some restorative maintenance , they look like they did the day of the battle . There is no graffiti or vandalism and no discernible storm damage . This is one of the few battlefields - maybe the only one - where you can walk on and explore actual original Civil War emplacements . The above picture shows an infantry strongpoint in Redoubt # 4 , complete with The town of Blakeley is long gone . After the Civil War , it was literally taken apart and moved over to Mobile , eventually merging with it . However , there are foundations and some streets can be seen . Here an archaeology class from the University of South Alabama is excavating the front portico of the Baldwin County Courthouse . Blakeley was the county seat until after the war . It was n ' t the war that doomed Blakeley . It was mosquitoes . So many people died of yellow fever that they were buried in mass Fort Morgan is a state historical site and has been fully restored . It has a museum and a self - guided walking tour . Not only was it a third generation seacoast fort , it was re - fitted as an Endicott fort which served through WW II . Those are the gray concrete bunkers . You ' ll see the mix of old and new everywhere . The tour placards and the museum have the best information about the battle of Mobile Bay . The wreck of the Tecumseh is marked by a buoy that can be clearly seen from the ramparts . ( Original aerial photograph courtesy of Bob Webster ) Fort Gaines is much smaller but seems to be in better overall shape . The brickwork in the arches and casemates is magnificent . It also became an Endicott fort and that mix is very evident . Information placards on the self - guided tour give full details about the life and battles of the fort . Make sure you take the ferry between Morgan and Gaines . While here , check out Dauphin Island . Fort Gaines is run by a private , non - profit group . ( Original aerial photograph courtesy of Bob Webster ) South Alabama has a very active geocaching community . If there is someplace worth seeing , somebody has put at least one geocache there and usually several , so look for them when you go exploring . Additionally , a couple of folks have put out several hundred caches in different series along the back roads . They ' re great for racking up the numbers and seeing the countryside . We had our first 50 cache day and a couple of 40 cache days in February 2011 . On the geocaching web site , do a Google map search for Gateswood , AL . You ' ll see what I mean . We ran into geo - gator while hunting for a cache near Spanish Fort . We decided to try again later . R.I.P . Spanish Fort battlefield In the 1970 ' s a developer named Fuller built a housing plan called Spanish Fort Estates right on top of the battlefield and its 400 years of history . You ' re looking here at the last remnants of the earthworks from Old Spanish Fort . They continue down over the hill but all are on private property - no archaeologists or visitors allowed . The site of Fort McDermott is a small park near the center of the development . No trace of it remains . Outside the boundaries of the Estates , the entire area is shops If you are a history nut and battlefield addict like me , there ' s one last resource worth checking out - Clive Cussler ' s shipwreck site . He ' s explored Mobile Bay and found some fascinating things about shipwrecks here , including casualties from the Civil War battles described on this web page .

http://exposingevilempire.com/accenture/salaries-accenture/ | Exposing Evil Empire Accenture Careers Accenture Salary – Lowest Compensation in the Consulting Industry ? This is a comparison of salaries for entry level positions in the US for University graduates interested in Business and IT jobs .

This information was updated October 15 , 2011 . Due to constant new reporting , numbers will change slightly . See the latest statistics for : ( 552 reports on salaries from Software Development Engineers II and 505 from Software Development Engineers I at the time of compiling this list ) , Google ( 1496 ) , ( 3743 , 1260 , and 4809 , for the respective positions ) , IBM ( 205 ) , Deloitte ( 185 ) , and ( 505 reports for Programmer Analyst II and 184 for Programmer Analyst I ) . Note : company overview pages on Glassdoor . com only show ( fixed ) salaries , click on a specific position to view total pay . As the exhibit shows , a Software Engineer at would earn 150 % more than what a Programmer Analyst I earns at Accenture ( on average ) . Not a nice thing to know that you earn only 40 % of what your old class mates at Google ( Software Engineer ) are raking in , or 47 % of what a Program Manager earns ( comparing average salaries ) . Makes you feel little appreciated . An entry level salary at Accenture ( average salary for a at $ 47k ) is only : 73 % of a Systems Analyst salary at ( average $ 64k ) 73 % of a Programmer Analyst salary at 52 % of a Software Development Engineer in Test ( SDET ) salary at Microsoft 49 % of a Software Development Engineer salary at Microsoft 47 % of a 47 % of a Software Development Engineer I 40 % of a salary at Google 39 % of a Software Development Engineer ( II ) salary at Amazon ( ! ) Graduate Salaries in the US – Business Positions This salary information is for entry level positions for university graduates with a business focus . All numbers are total earnings ( incl . salary , bonuses , etc . ) McKinsey Business Analyst ( MC ) $ 88,767 $ 72k $ 96k Procter & Gamble Assistant Brand Manager $ 94,952 $ 63k $ 108k The Boston Consulting Group Associate Consultant $ 77,875 $ 58k $ 112k Booz & Co Consultant $ 74,892 $ 56k $ 110k PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Associate $ 65,146 $ 50k $ 90k Mgmt . Consultant Analyst $ 60,280 $ 44k $ 78k Source : glassdoor . com where employees report their salary information . This information was updated October 15 , 2011 . Due to constant new reporting , numbers will change slightly . See the latest statistics for : Procter & Gamble ( 32 reports for Assistant Brand Manager ) , McKinsey & Co ( 90 ) , The Boston Consulting Group ( 61 ) , Booz & Co ( 15 ) , PricewaterhouseCoopers ( 286 ) , and ( 51 ) . Note : company overview pages on Glassdoor . com only show ( fixed ) salaries , click on a specific position to view total pay . Of course it might not be fair to compare Accenture to prestigious companies like McKinsey , The Boston Consulting Group , Google , Amazon . com or the branding power - house Procter & Gamble . But , even compared to “ normal ” companies ( though very good employers ) like IBM or ( PwC ) , Accenture pays badly . If you would go to Procter & Gamble , you could expect to earn a hefty 60 % more than the average Accenture salary as a Management Consulting Analyst . Seen from the other perspective , the Accenture analyst earns 63 % ( average $ 60k ) of the Assistant Brand Manager at P&G ( average $ 95k ) . But then again Accenture has little marketing expertise and mainly does CRM installations when it comes to marketing so if you ’ re interested in that field Accenture would be a very bad option anyway . Compared to PwC and Booz , the numbers improve slightly as the Accenture analyst earns 93 % or 80 % ( respectively ) of average entry level positions at those firms . According to Wetfeet . com the range for undergrads in IT consulting is $ 35k - 55k per year and in Management consulting $ 56k - 84k per year ( 2010 ) in the US . Accenture is at the very bottom for IT ( minimum at $ 35k and paying average $ 47k ) and with an average barely above the very bottom for management consulting ( minimum at $ 44k , average $ 60k ) . Surely this article will get critiqued , it ’ s a sensitive topic . And true , the numbers are not exact due to being self - reported , statistically insignificant ( e.g. the cases of Booz and P&G ) , etc . but the conclusion stays the same , Accenture pays well below what other companies pay . Salary is not all , but it is a clear signal of how much your employer values you , and in Accenture ’ s case , how you will be treated . Hopefully this information will increasing transparency and help Accenture employees negotiate salaries and put upwards pressure on the average compensation levels .

David 2011 / 11 / 24 I did n ’ t know Glassdoor was the authoritative figure for your research . That ’ s like using Wiki to do a research paper . I ’ m a former ACNer but it is no better in industry . There are so many factors you must consider when comparing salaries that do n ’ t come across in what is reported on Glassdoor . Simply going off a job title does n ’ t yield a conclusive observation . A “ programmer ” at ACN is working on much different things than a “ programmer ” at Google Reply Donovan in reply to David 2011 / 12 / 03 Thanks for the input David ! I agree that there is a bias in self reported data ( Glassdoor ) , so this info should not be seen as exact . I would say it is good enough , as that bias is the same for all companies in the article . Also note that the ‘ sample ’ is quite large , for Google there are about 1500 people who reported their salaries and for Accenture about 500 people . If someone wants to lie ( up or down ) , it is averaged out quite well . That said , the data gives a GOOD COMPARISON between companies . A programmer at Accenture is certainly not the same as a programmer at Google ! But as a soon - to - be graduate , those positions are your alternatives ( among many others ) . Either you take a job for Google in Palo Alto ( coolest place on earth ? ) developing search engines , android , Google+ or similar for 65 - 116k or a analyst job for Accenture going to the city where you ’ re assigned to , to install ERP , CRM or similar for 35 - 46k . P.s. I think Wikipedia is an excellent research tool . The days when it was not trustworthy are long gone . It has a lot more reviewers and authors than other articles . It is often the top result on Google meaning people link to it , Google deems it the best result , and that Wikipedia get loads of traffic each day – this keeps quality up and any spam is removed quickly . Imagine Brittanica which is edited and printed once a year by a limited number of employed staff . Long live crowd sourcing ! Reply Stung Once 2011 / 12 / 20 I would say that potential emplyees look elsewhere rather than Accenture . This is nothing more than a decorated sweatshop with fluorescent lights . In many cases sales and marketing wants a high profile client so badly that they will make concessions that drastically affects the employees . And when you have the temerity to ask for more resources because you are doing the job of 5 people you get verbally abused and declined for budgetary reasons . The pay is also nothing to write home about . Yes I negotiated the salary based upon expectations but Accenture slapped 4 All that glitters is not gold and in this case – to say that they are tin foil would be an expensive compliment . littleapple 2012 / 02 / 03 I absolutely agree to the article with one point though : Most of the people I ’ ve seen within Acc , are pretty much worthless compared to what would flourish within Google / MicroSoft / many other places . They are essentially people that do n ’ t like our disciple , finishes a Computer Science course because their parents pushed them to that or something and achieved good grades in academia because they studied a lot … That ’ s why they ’ re happy “ greping ” files around and say they have unix - experience ( ! ) or write 1000s of getters and setters and call it Java programming . Most of them in any other place mentioned in the article would have been kicked out way before end of probation … Accenture SUCKS 2012 / 02 / 11 If you are in “ ATS ” or now it ’ s called Solution then your career will go no where . Back in the days lot of people who were not even High School graduates , were put onto this workforce , but then ATS , now Solutions has raised this bar , so all Solution people are slightly more qualified , but ATS Perception will never change . Work with any manager ( including his / her cronies ) and see how he takes credit for every single thing you produce . Few people , running “ Solution ” workforce , will “ NEVER ” let you switch your workforce if you have marketable technical skills . Even though Accenture says you can switch your workforce , but if you are stuck in Solutions , then your only option is to quit Accenture . Again , as per Accenture you can switch your workforce , but if you are Solutions workforce , and you have some marketable technical “ Solutions ” is a cheap workforce , but no one will say that on your face . Only when you produce something valuable at a client side , is when you will see how people change on your face . You could realize this within first month of being hired , or some people realize this within 6 months . First two years , unless you know someone from inside , you will not be promoted , and believe it or not , Solution workforce will also not give you a raise as they want to make sure that you will not leave . So , you will not get anything accept few 100 bucks for variable pay . ( literally ) . No one will say all this to your on your face , you Xafion 2012 / 03 / 09 Well first of all I received much higher pay than what it shows here from ACN . As an entry level , I accepted offer same range as Booze & Co which does not include signin and relocation . Pretzel 2012 / 03 / 17 Accenture can be best described as the greatest jungle of fools , where only hyenas and blood sucking leeches , lazy lumps live . Other companies have increment yearly based on market evaluation and inflation … Here at the cheap world of Accenture we have decrement based on looting by management and blood sucking cheaters . What more can you expect when you have people around without professional expertise and even a graduation ? no_more_acn 2012 / 04 / 03 Please be very careful in joining Accenture . Most of the management are known for nefarious activities . Every year , they are given a target for sacking 10 % of the people . Irrespective of how one is performing , if you are not in the good books of the Manager – the manager will put you in that 10 % . Then the HR will tell ask you to quietly put down your papers . They will also tell that if you keep shut , then they will give you honourable exit else they will kick you . john 2012 / 10 / 15 Accenture is a great place to work , but a better place to leave . For junior people and graduates its a great environment to learn generic skills , but for senior people ( e.g. 5yr + ) its almost mandatory to leave asap . | [

http://exposingevilempire.com/accenture/salary-raise-enough-for-whopper-meal/ | Exposing Evil Empire Personal Stories Thanks for the Whopper , Accenture Do you want large fries with that , or do you work at Accenture ? I am so mad right now I can hardly see straight . The longer I work for Accenture , the more I am convinced that , despite what they try to convince you , they do n ’ t care for their workers . At all ! ! ! I just got a call from HR and my manager . I had already been told what my merit increase ( read here " annual raise " ) for this year would be . I was pretty unhappy with it , but it was what I have come to expect from this company . It was another year of saying " we ’ re going to throw a little cash at you so you do n ’ t get up and walk out , but it ’ s not going to be enough to make your check look any different each month . HR just called . She told me that there had been a mistake in the system , and that my raise this year is actually only half of what I had been told . Lies , lies and more lies ! The thought actually went through my mind ( and is still having to be suppressed ) that I should just get up and walk out . If I was single , there ’ s a good chance I would right now . At this point , twice a month , after they take the taxes out , my " raise " will allow my Tamara and I to go have a lovely dinner at Burger King – provided we both get # 1s without getting the big fries and drink and that we have a pocket full of change to pay the tax . Or we could save the " raise " from both checks for the month and go see a movie – but we wo n ’ t be able to get an ice or candy to enjoy while we ’ re watching it . You think I ’ m joking . I was this close ( my thumb and forefinger are less than an eighth of an inch apart ) to telling the HR woman to just keep the raise because I do n ’ t care for their patronization . Evidently the politics playing team leads , managers and senior execs need the money more than I . It was on the tip of my tongue while we were talking . It ’ s probably a good thing that prudence won out . I ’ ve got the next few days off to start trying to get things in order for Tamara and I to move in the next 6 weeks . I ’ ll probably be spending a lot of time on Monster . com and Dice . com while I ’ m off . This morning I ’ m being asked to cover several things that I would n ’ t usually be asked to cover . I ’ m having a hard time not telling them they do n ’ t pay me enough for the extra headache . I ’ m trying to remind myself that I work for God and not men . God not men ! If you were asking for a recommendation of good , fair company with values to work for , after the last six years here , I would whole - heartedly say that you need not apply at Accenture ( anywhere in the world ) . It is the worst dump that ever existed . Guest Writer February 11 , 2012 Newsletter Sign - Up Can we expose Accenture ? Subscribe to our FREE newsletter to find out .
