Why do caterpillars change their skins?
Caterpillars are eating machines and hence most grow very quickly, some capable of doubling their size in few days. This exceptional growth rate means their skins are soon stretched until they are unable to expand any further. When this point is reached the caterpillar will replace its skin with a larger one capable of housing further growth.
The two images above and the four below show the Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) caterpillars growing from a few millimetres soon after they hatch to 65mm and fully grown in little more than two months.
How many times does a caterpillar change its skin?
Most caterpillars change skins four times and the period between each new skin is known as an instar.
Why do caterpillars grow so fast?
An important part of a caterpillar’s survival strategy is to grow rapidly because at this stage of their life-cycle many species are extremely vulnerable to predation and to have the best chance of survival they need to pupate within a short space of time. However, there are species that remain caterpillars for a prolonged length of time, some overwintering and in the case of the Goat moth caterpillar remaining inside the trunk of a tree for several years.
Do caterpillars change colour as they grow?
Each change of skin may look very different from the previous one. For some caterpillar species, colour, pattern, degree of hairiness and even their shape can change between early and final instars.
Why do some butterfly and moth species have broods containing different colour caterpillars?
Many caterpillars not only change appearance as they grow and change skins but may even show different colour forms at the same stage of development within the same brood.
The Silver-studded Blue (Plebejus argus) butterfly (above left) and Large Yellow Underwing (Noctua pronuba) moth (above right) are just two of the many species of lepidoptera that have broods of caterpillars containing different colour forms, both these species having green and brown caterpillars of the same age. It seems likely this is to limit predation with one colour less easily seen than the other.
Why does a caterpillar stop eating?
The only time most caterpillars stop eating is prior to changing their skin or during the time leading up to pupation when their bodies have already begun the remarkable metamorphosis from caterpillar to moth or butterfly. However, there are also caterpillars that over-winter, including several species of butterfly, that are able to go months without feeding.
How long does a caterpillar stay as a caterpillar?
The time it takes for a caterpillar to pupate varies widely according to species. Many caterpillars are fully grown and ready to pupate within a few weeks of hatching from an egg, such as the Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) butterfly (above left) that only takes 4 weeks. Others will over-winter in readiness to complete their growth and pupate the following spring such as the Fox Moth (Macrothylacia rubi) (above right) which remains a caterpillar for 11 months of the year from June to April. However, some species such as the caterpillars of the Goat Moth (Cossus cossus) may remain in the larval stage, inside a tree trunk, for up to five years.
What is pupation? Why does a caterpillar turn into a pupa?
Pupation refers to the stage when a caterpillar stops growing and undergoes a rapid and remarkable physical transformation into a moth or butterfly.
What is metamorphosis?
This radical change in the insect’s appearance is carried out from within a protective casing known as a pupa or chrysalis and is known as metamorphosis.
What is the difference between a cocoon and a pupa?
The caterpillars of some moth species spin an additional outer protective case known as a cocoon around them before forming a pupa inside. These cocoons are often spun using a mesh of spun silk and hairs from its own body.
Many of these spun cocoons are rather flimsy and do not appear to offer much additional protection but their hairs may still prevent some parasites from reaching and penetrating the pupa and laying their eggs inside.
However, some cocoons are of such a solid impenetrable construction that it has been suggested that some species may have developed a body acid to burn their way out.
What is the difference between a chrysalis and a pupa?
Butterflies and many species of moth don’t spin cocoons but instead pupate inside a single hairless pupal casing.
These pupae may be formed in a wide variety of places including amongst leaf litter, in the soil, inside the stems of plants, on the trunks of trees and even on man made structures such as walls of houses.
The word chrysalis is another name for a pupa and it comes from the Greek for gold.
This refers to the golden brown colour of some pupae. Although, many of these will darken with age as the moth or butterfly develops inside.
Chrysalis is more often used to refer to the pupation life stage of a butterfly and pupa for that of a moth.
The Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) butterfly shown above secures its pupa to a plant, often the stem of nettles, where it is cryptically disguised to blend in with the colours and shapes of its surroundings.
How do butterfly caterpillars secure themselves to plants when about to turn into a pupa?
Some species, including many butterflies, such as the Comma (Polygonia c-album) butterfly (above) rely on a single shell pupa. They fix themselves to their chosen support by hanging upside from a cremaster, tiny hooks at the rear of the pupa, attached to a silken pad.
Some species such as the Green-veined White (Pieris napi) (below) secure themselves facing upwards and spin an additional silk gurdle as extra support.

Chelsea is a Patterdale Terrier. A Rescue Dog with a few issues. I have had her now for a little over one year. She is a wonderful and very loving dog, however, not so great on a leash! For a 17 lb dog she is surprisingly strong.
Not wanting to injure her with a regular dog collar, in the past year I have tried every dog harness on the market. The problem is that Chelsea is a big dog in a 17 lb body. She has a neck measurement of 11” and her “girth” measures 17.5”. Regular harnesses simply were not designed for her body type…If the neck fit, the torso did not….I finally found the Buddy Belt searching online. The idea of it only needed to fit around her torso, sounded like exactly what we needed. I ordered the “splash” design.
Not only does it fit her PERFECTLY. It is made of super soft leather. It looks adorable. (We have already received compliments.) I can tell that Chelsea feels much more comfortable in Buddy Belt. But the best part….My wild child is much easier to control with the buddy belt! It is so much easier to use than anything we have tried before. Two steps in, buckle and we are ready to roll.
Thank you so much for thinking outside the box with the Buddy Belt. It makes perfect sense! And, it has made our walks so much happier!! I cannot thank you enough for this FANTASTIC product!

Feature Article of Wednesday, 21 September 2011
Columnist: Boakye-Boateng, Prince
The United Nations has set aside 27th September each year to celebrate World Tourism Day as a way of fostering awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural and economic values. The event seeks to address the global challenges outlined in the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and to highlight the contribution the tourism sector can make towards reaching these goals.
The event was created at the 3rd Session of the UNWTO General Assembly in Torremolinos, Spain, in September 1979. 27th September is noteworthy because it was on that day in 1970 that the statutes of the World Tourism Organisation were espoused. At its 12th Session in Istanbul, Turkey, in October 1997, the UNWTO passed a resolution to designate a host member-state each year as an associate to commemorate World Tourism Day. Ghana had the first privilege to host the worldwide event in 2009; same way Egypt is hosting it this year.
The theme for this year’s celebration is “Tourism: Linking Cultures” and it is an opportunity to highlight tourism’s role in bringing the cultures of the World together and promoting understanding and mutual respect through global travel.
Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, in his World Tourism Day 2011 message remarked thus “there is no better way to learn about a new culture than to experience it first-hand. Tourism offers a wonderful connecting thread between visitor and host community. It promotes dialogue and interaction. Such contact between people of different backgrounds is the foundation for tolerance. In a world struggling for peaceful co-existence, tourism can build bridges and contribute to peace”.
The UN Secretary General has thus called on tourists and travelers to engage with other cultures and celebrate human diversity, recognizing that tourism is a force for a more tolerant, open and united world. Taleb Rifai, UNWTO Secretary General, says that “the message of this year’s World Tourism Day is that, thanks to tourism, millions of people from different cultures are being brought together around the world like never before. This interaction between people from different backgrounds and ways of life represents an enormous opportunity to advance tolerance, respect, and mutual understanding.”
In Ghana, regional celebrations will be held nationwide, with the national event climaxing at the Tafi-Atome Monkey Sanctuary in Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region on 27th September. Preceding this on 24th September would be a tour of tourist attraction sites within the Kpando/Hohoe circuits including Amedzokpe Mountains, Wli Waterfalls, Kpando Torkor, the Kpando Grottos, and the famous Tafi-Atome Monkey Sanctuary. The climax will be a Grand Durbar, an Arts and Culture Exhibition, a Local Gastronomy (food fair) and cultural performances at Tafi- Atome.
As we celebrate World Tourism Day 2011, there is the need to take some time to reflect on the contribution of the sector to the national economy. Presently, tourism is the 4th largest contributor to the nation’s GDP after Gold, Cocoa, and Foreign Remittances. It contributed $1.87 Billion to the economy last year. Perhaps this reinforces the call by the UNWTO Secretary General for countries to “consider tourism as a priority in national policies. Tourism can play a key role in terms of economic growth and development, particularly at a moment when many economies, for the most part in Europe and North America, struggle for recovery and job creation.
Tourism creates unity and national cohesion. The world’s fastest growing economic sector, travel and tourism, has played a dramatic role in bringing people of diverse cultural backgrounds together in a positive way. The ability of travel and tourism to create deeper, richer understanding is very vital as people across the world get a grip on how other people and cultures impact their lives. Visitation is the start-point to the creation of understanding and appreciation, not to mention the industry’s vital impact on employment, investment, identity, competitiveness and opportunity creation.”
Ghana abounds in natural, cultural, and historical heritage sites that can draw people of different orientations from both in and outside the country to sight-see and fraternize. Unfortunately, most of these sites are either untapped, or under-developed. Even the few developed ones are also not under the control and supervision of one identifiable entity – for example the Castles are in the hands of Museums and Monuments Board, while natural reserves and parks are under the purview of the Department of Forestry and Parks and Gardens respectively.
The Tourism sector is multi-sectoral, and the different stakeholder Ministries including the Ministries of Trade and Industry, Environment, Science and Technology, Chieftaincy and Culture, Local Government and Rural Development, Lands , Forestry and Natural Resources as well as the private sector must get on board if the optimum benefit is to be derived from the sector. Tarring of access roads to tourist attraction sites, avoidance of turf wars as to who controls what, inadequate resource allocations to the sector, all need to be given serious attention by policy makers and the private sector.
Also, District Assemblies should take a keen interest in the development of attraction sites within their jurisdiction. This will diversify their revenue generation base from the traditional market tolls and property rates to more sustainable revenue areas. Doing this will also attract investors into their areas and create jobs for the unemployed youth.
Available statistics from the UNWTO indicate that the year 2010 recorded over 940 million tourists worldwide. As we celebrate 2011, I appeal to all Ghanaians to, even if for once, join the growing global trend and take a break from their routine work schedules and join in this year’s activities so as to appreciate the benefits of tourism to them as individuals, corporate entities, and the nation as a whole. Experiencing different ways of life, discovering new foods and customs, and visiting cultural sites is a celebration of tourism’s role in breaking down barriers across cultures and fostering tolerance, respect and mutual understanding. These values represent stepping stones towards a more peaceful country, especially as we prepare to enter into election year 2012.

‘AN ARTIST’S NATURE JOURNAL’ IN COUNTRY LIVING November 30 2017
I’ve always loved the book ‘The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady’ by Edith Holden. Following a family move from London to the beautiful East Sussex countryside, I was inspired to create my own modern-day, month-by-month, illustrated nature journal.
My nature journal is an ongoing personal project that is very close to my heart. It is a celebration of my combined love of drawing, painting and learning about the natural world.
'It is my aim to create a modern-day record of the flora and fauna of the British countryside through the changing seasons of the year - as seen through the eyes of an artist’.
I’m delighted to share that my nature journal is being published as twelve monthly columns in Country Living magazine throughout 2018. If you’d like to take a look, the January issue is out now. For further information visit:
To coincide with the publication of each monthly column during 2018, I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes snapshots of artwork-in-progress, plus sightings of seasonal plants and wildlife. So if you’re interested in art and nature you might like to follow me on:
Thank you for reading and happy winter watching!

Janesville student wins Newtown essay contest
JANESVILLE Ariana Pensy carried a little pink bucket with her from Janesville to Newtown, Conn. Full of kind words from Janesville third-graders, the bucket was meant to help fill the hearts of sad families in the small Connecticut town.
Ariana left the bucket and brought back to Janesville a full heart. Her mom and teachers hope she will inspire other children and adults in the community.
Ariana, 9, is a student in Lee Gruber’s third-grade class at Harrison Elementary School. She was one of eight children from across the nation honored this week in the first-annual Charlotte Bacon Act of Kindness Award ceremony.
Charlotte was one of the 26 people killed in December at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown. The ceremony was held Friday on what would have been Charlotte’s seventh birthday.
The contest invited children to write, draw or tell stories about acts of kindness they did for others. Ariana’s essay and picture were inspired by a children’s book Gruber read in class called “Have You Filled A Bucket Today,” by Carol McCloud. The book encourages children to create their own happiness by doing kind things for others.
The message stuck with Ariana, her mother, Lara Bush-Pensy of Janesville said.
In her essay, Ariana wrote about befriending a child with whom other children didn’t want to play.
Reaching out to someone made Ariana feel good, she wrote.
“When you help someone, you don’t just fill their bucket,” Ariana wrote. “You fill yours, too.”
Ariana decorated a pink bucket—Charlotte’s favorite color—and asked her classmates to write kind things on paper hearts. She took the bucket to Newtown and presented it Friday to the community during the awards ceremony, Bush-Pensy said.
It was a sweet moment among many during the emotional ceremony at HealingNewtown Art Space, a gallery created to display the letters and artwork that poured into the city from around the world after the shooting.
Before, during and after the ceremony, Bush-Pensy was amazed by the reaction of people to Ariana’s simple essay. People have printed it out and hung it in their offices, she said. They’ve passed it around to their friends.
The sweet story makes people want to be kind to others, Bush-Pensy said.
“It fills them up,” she said. “It really seems to motivate people.”
The kindness already is coming back to Ariana. Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt, a Wisconsin native and former UW-Madison football player, heard about Ariana’s essay and is taking the family out to dinner this week, Bush-Pensy said.
Additionally, the family made what she thinks will be lifelong friends during their trip to Newtown, she said.
“They’re just incredible people,” Bush-Pensy said. “When you think about what they’ve been through, it would move you beyond belief to meet them.
“Love absolutely lives in Newtown.”

3 MEMBERS OF “150-PLUS CLUB” AT DuQUOIN SUNDAY
Dave Darland, Brian Tyler and Russ Gamester continue to pursue Jack Hewitt to become the all-time leader in terms of career USAC Silver Crown Championship starts. They will each try to take another step toward that goal Sunday night when the “Ted Horn 100” unfolds at the DuQuoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds
Hewitt started 162 Silver Crown races during his career, which also included a series-record 23 wins, including 1986, 1987 and 1993 victories at DuQuoin’s Magic Mile.
Darland has 156 career starts but continues to seek his first DuQuoin triumph, while Tyler, with 154 starts, is the defending race winner. Gamester, who won at DuQuoin in 1997, also has 154 career Silver Crown starts.
The trio, plus Hewitt, are joined in the “150-plus” club by the retired Johnny Parsons, who made his 153rd career start at DuQuoin last year.
The trio has accounted for a total of 35 Silver Crown wins. Darland is the only former series champion, claiming the 1997 title, although Tyler was second in 1998 and 2006 and Gamester was the 1999 and 2001 runner-up.
Tyler, with victories at Richmond, Va. and Oswego, NY this year, ranks sixth in the current standings, while Darland, second in the “Hoosier Hundred” in May, ranks 18th after three dirt-track outings and Gamester, fifth at the “Hoosier Hundred,” ranks 19th.
All of the above are chasing Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif., who leads the standings in his quest to join Jimmy Sills as three-time Silver Crown Champions. Kaeding won the series opener at Phoenix, Ariz. and is the only driver to post “top-10” finishes in all seven races so far this season. He’ll try to improve on last year’s 11th-place DuQuoin finish.

If you are only going to read one book during your pregnancy, this should be the one!
A little background on the author
Ina May Gaskin is very well known across the globe and has been working tirelessly for over 3 decades to deliver woman centered care to her clients and community at “The Farm” in Tennessee. Her midwifery beginnings were very humble, working out of a school bus that had been turned into a mobile home. She and her husband were part of a caravan of people who were travelling across the United States in search for a piece of land to call home. They wanted to work together as a community to grow their own food, raise their children and share their knowledge and resources. That is exactly what they did and what they continue to do today at “The Farm”.
Why this book rocks!
The reason why I love this book is not only because it shares so many beautifully powerful and POSITIVE birth stories. I also love it because it provides you with truly helpful information to guide you in making the decisions that are right for you and your family.
This exceptional midwife brings the point home that most births are low risk and go very well. The book will fill your heart and head with positive birth stories. She feels that it is important in this day and age of fear in childbirth to remind women of the power and beauty of the birth process. Here is Ina May telling you in her own words why birth stories are so important:
“Stories teach us in ways we can remember. They teach us that each woman responds to birth in her unique way and how very wide-ranging that way can be. Sometimes they teach us about silly practices once widely held that were finally discarded. They teach us the occasional difference between accepted medical knowledge and the real bodily experiences that women have – including those that are never reported in medical textbooks nor admitted as possibilities in the medical world. They also demonstrate the mind/body connection in a way that medical studies cannot. Birth stories told by women who were active participants in giving birth often express a good deal of practical wisdom, inspiration, and information for other women. Positive stories shared by women who have had wonderful childbirth experiences are an irreplaceable way to transmit knowledge of a woman’s true capacities in pregnancy and birth.”
Ina May spends some precious page space explaining a really interesting concept called “sphincter law”. She explains this in the following quote. “The state of relaxation of the mouth and jaw is directly correlated to the ability of the cervix, the vagina, and the anus to open to full capacity.” She goes on to explain how all of our “sphincters” are related and connected to one another. Clenching your jaw and mouth during labor will make it difficult for your cervix to dilate. It will make it difficult for your vagina to open to let your baby out.
Since the cervix is a sphincter it naturally follows a few rules that all the other sphincters in the body follow. It cannot be commanded to open like you can command your hands to open or your mouth to open. Sphincters, like your anus and cervix tend to work best in private and familiar settings. Imagine trying to poop in front of several people. You would probably have a hard time. The same holds true for pushing out a baby. It sounds a little weird at first but she makes her point well.
It’s her way or the highway?
This is definitely not a book that will make you feel “less than” if you choose a medicated hospital birth. Ina May’s point is only to inform women of all the options out there. She will guide you through current scientific research around some childbirth issues. Share her wisdom from having helped women bring their babies safely into this world over the last 30 + years. She is not anti-doctor or anti-anything. She agrees that some women need the expertise of obstetricians. She really just wants to share her knowledge and absolute love of the process of babies being born.
This is a great bedtime read. It will leave you feeling positive and make you look forward to birthing your baby. This will lead to good birthing dreams. Make a nice hot cup of chamomile tea with a bit of honey and take in this sweet gift. This book is widely available from your local library, either on paper, as an e-book or audio-book. We also have copies of this book at our clinics for you to borrow. Happy reading!

Within hours after the Boston marathon bombing suspects were identified, police probably obtained warrants to search extensive digital records from mobile phone networks and social media and e-mail providers.
The fast-growing rise of such data sets—and rise of network analysis tools to make sense of them—could be a boon in the investigation. It might reveal the existence of other evidence, further plots, or the identity of accomplices. But sorting the real information from the junk will be a challenge.
“The general number of law enforcement requests of e-mail and social network data has gone up by a wide margin,” says Hanni Fakhoury, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco. The result is that police agencies hold huge databases of stored information.
In the case of Google, such requests are rising rapidly. In the last six months of 2012, for example, Google reported receiving about 8,400 requests for user data, up from about 6,300 in the last six months of 2011. The company reports these data here.
Security camera footage and public appeals seem to have quickly led to the identification of the suspects: brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, immigrants of Chechen heritage. Now “it will be interesting to see how the prevalence of electronic evidence and data all around us on the Web makes it possible for the police to solve all aspects of this crime,” Fakhoury says.
Searches of e-mail are governed by a 1986 law called the Stored Communications Act, which technically allows police access to e-mails older than 180 days without a formal search warrant. Getting a search warrant would require a judicial finding of probable cause that the defendant committed a crime. In order to access messages more than 180 days old, investigators need only a court-issued document similar to a subpoena that says the information is relevant to a criminal investigation.
“Congress assumed if you left things on the server for six months, you’d abandoned it,” Fakhoury says. However, major providers of Web communication services, like Google and Facebook, won’t release data without a search warrant, he says. Some data—such as the user’s IP address and date the e-mail account was created—won’t be released without such a warrant. But of course, other data—such tweets and some Facebook posts—are publicly available.
As soon as the names surfaced, police would have gone to court to obtain search warrants. The authorities would turn to any number of software tools to sort through huge quantities of data, and visualize links between suspects, locations, and other points of reference.
One such tool is the Sentinel Visualizer from a Virginia company called FMS Advanced Systems Group. “A lot of police departments have thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands, of telephone call records,” says Dan Wasser, the director of business development at the company, which he said is not involved in the current investigation. “It’s impossible to look at that data and see who is calling whom.”
“Let’s say the police have been gathering data for weeks, months, years,” Wasser says. “Now they have the name of these Chechen brothers. Those names may pop up in the records from past databases of phone calls, transactions, and other data they may have collected over the years.”
Some traces of social networking activity have already surfaced. A YouTube profile created last year in the name of the elder suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, features videos about terrorism, but verifying that he created the profile might pose a challenge.

Mighty Mo trip home slowed by by storm
By Lloyd Pritchett
Navy crews are striving mightily to get the battleship USS Missouri home to Bremerton by Sunday despite a pesky Pacific storm that has slowed the vessel's progress northward from Long Beach, Calif.
"It's coming our way," Donald Ricks, spokesman for Bremerton's Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, said of the 45,000ton Missouri.
The ship, nicknamed the "Mighty Mo," will be moored inside PSNS's top-security industrial area when it arrives, probably sometime just before dusk on Sunday.
Later it will be moved to the same mothball berth at the west end of the yard where it rested during its previous 30-year stay in Bremerton between 1954 and 1984. Then it reigned as the city's star tourist attraction.
The Missouri, site of the Japanese surrender signing that ended World War II, was deactivated after the Korean War, then recommissioned during President Reagan's military buildup of the mid-1980s.
It was decommissioned for the second time during an emotional ceremony March 31 at Long Beach.
Ricks said the two large ocean-going tugs towing the Mighty Mo had to slow their speed while passing through a gusty Pacific storm off the coast of Northern California. By Wednesday the storm abated and the tugs upped the speed.
If it is able to make steady progress, the Missouri should reach Port Angeles by late Saturday or early Sunday.
The ship then would make a 14-hour transit down through Puget Sound from dawn to dusk on Sunday, arriving at PSNS just before dark, if all goes according to plan.
By this evening, the Missouri is expected to be about halfway up the Oregon coast.

Citation: Hargittai, E. & Hinnant, A. (2005). Toward a Social Framework for Information Seeking. In New Directions in Human Information Behavior. Edited by Amanda Spink and Charles Cole. New York: Springer. 55-70.
In this chapter we focus on new directions in the development of a social framework for understanding the information behavior of well-targeted groups in society. That is, we explore how one’s social positioning influences one’s information behavior which, in turn, influences the information-seeking behavior of the populations studied. We concentrate especially on human information behavior (HIB) through information technologies, but base our discussion in a more general framework of HIB encompassing other sources. We integrate work from information science, sociology and other disciplines to argue for a more holistic approach to the study of HIB. We outline both conceptual and methodological challenges facing the field of HIB and, for each, suggest specific directions for future research.

Distance: around 4.5 miles?
Time: didn’t record this either, sorry, but about 1hr15 to the radio mast and another hour to halfway through our picnic! Probably 3ish hours in total
Elevation gain: 1,275
Difficulty: fitness-wise, difficult; terrain-wise, moderate; navigation-wise, easy
Drive: 20-25 minutes (13 miles) from Pasadena old town (Wildwood Canyon Trailhead)
There are helpful descriptions of the first section courtesy of Modern Hiker here and hikespeak here
We did this hike hot on the heels of a Tahoe ski trip, and after -15 and lots of sliding fast downhill in the best snow for decades, toiling uphill in the high-20s midday sun was a shock to many systems. We were staying with our friend Simon in Burbank, so walked from his front door, but you can park by the Wildwood Canyon trailhead at the junction of Canyon Drive and Harvard Road if you’re not local.
The trail starts on Canyon Drive by a picnic bench with some trail-info signs. It climbs steeply right from the off, with hairpins and steps to start with, and views of Burbank, North Hollywood, and Griffith Park opening up quick enough to make the incline feel worth it. After half a mile you join the Vital Link Trail, which goes right up to the backbone of the Verdugo Mountains. The rest of the ascent is then a mixture of hairpins and straight-up, with some optional detours up various grassy knolls either side of the main path if you want extra views and extra leg challenges, and a brief pause at a plateau with another picnic table.
Then the path gets a bit more engineered, with steps and railings built in to help the brutal south-facing gradient feel more manageable (and stop you cutting the corners). Finally, after 1.5 miles, you get to the top of the hill and the inviting memorial chair, and then you turn right (east) towards the plucky little (not so little) tree nestled in the lee of the radio mast (it’s fun spotting the tree from the car when passing on the 5 once you’ve been up here), where there’s a handy log for admiring the downtown views from.
Then you could carry on east towards Verdugo Peak, but we retraced our steps, meandering west along the Verdugo Motorway fire road just below the backbone with pretty northerly views. We found a little offshoot path to have a picnic on, and about 1.5 miles from the radio mast you come to the junction with the Stough Canyon fire road, which is 1 mile of gentle downhill to DeBell golf course, where for the first time ever we dared order our special hiking drink Bonics (2/3 lager, 1/3 tonic) at an actual establishment. It was gone very quickly.
First glimpse of the radio mast
35 minutes later, a little bit closer
A rattler disturbed in its enjoyment of the spring heat
A breather at the plateau
Burbank, North Hollywood, Griffith Park, and DTLA in the mist
The log beneath the tree!
Meandering on the north side
And picnicking on the north side

Website Helps Anyone Learn Spatial Thinking Skills
These words encompass the theme of a website that presents a new way to learn ArcGIS concepts and technology and emphasizes problem solving rather than software functionality.
Learn ArcGIS provides people with access to the knowledge, spatial analysis tools, and data needed to answer geospatial questions that come up every day. The site is designed for self-study and available at no cost. The lessons in the online gallery reflect realistic analysis scenarios that mirror typical, everyday GIS workflows. Lessons teach people how to
- Formulate a geospatial question.
- Analyze data.
- Interpret results.
- Share results using online maps and apps.
Lessons feature scenarios that reflect realistic GIS workflows such as studying breast cancer mortality rate patterns.
Newcomers to GIS can learn geospatial concepts and the basics of the ArcGIS platform. They can discover how to use maps to better understand information, tell stories, compile data, perform geographic analysis, and monitor situations or operations. They can immediately analyze data and make maps with no major upfront investment other than time.
GIS professionals will find advanced lessons at Learn ArcGIS, which will help them become more skilled at conceptualizing, analyzing, and solving spatial problems in addition to creating and sharing maps. Learn ArcGIS doesn't replace traditional instructor-led training or web courses in ArcGIS. It whets learners' appetites and entices them to dig deeper.
Clint Brown, director of software products and leader of the Learn ArcGIS team, said the website designed by the team provides a new pathway for any type of learner to discover the power of mapping, start making maps, and begin solving spatial problems using geographic analysis.
"The whole world of GIS has changed radically with the rapid evolution of the ArcGIS platform," Brown said. "In the old days, we had to teach people about things like geodatabases and topology—the under-the-hood things that make GIS work. But so much now just works, and we have an opportunity to go beyond that and teach people how to solve real problems."
The site is interactive. Much of the work is done on the web using the mapping and analysis tools and data available from Esri's cloud-hosted ArcGIS Online (arcgis.com). Lessons include online maps that learners can explore to find a spatial question or problem that interests them.
"We are attempting to integrate learning right into the platform," said Christian Harder, a member of the Learn ArcGIS team. "We have an amazing online GIS platform that can run on any web-connected computer on the planet. Figuring out how to leverage it in a learning context has been a fun challenge."
At Learn ArcGIS, students explore history by examining decisive moments in the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.
Begin with a Story
Each project starts with a story that includes a short introduction and background on a situation. One project, A Capitol Offense, is about the incidence of crime in Washington, DC. The student then gets to map crime data and perform hot spot analysis to find clusters of high and low crime rates.
In the Create a Community Garden Web App project, students create a large-scale custom basemap and deploy it as an app that garden plot holders can use to report pests, weeds, and other problems. Students can work with an app that resembles the one they will create, select icons for weeds and pests, and drag them onto the map next to the affected plots.
Join the LearnGIS Community
Using Learn ArcGIS doesn't require the purchase of any Esri software. Anyone can try out the lessons with the sample data, sign up for free membership in the LearnGIS organization, or use an existing ArcGIS Online for organizations account. The LearnGIS organization provides limited-time access to the cloud-based tools and data in ArcGIS Online needed to complete the lessons. For lessons that require ArcGIS for Desktop (which now includes ArcGIS Pro), Collector for ArcGIS, or Explorer for ArcGIS (iOS), free trial-use student versions are available.
Lessons are available in a searchable, easy-to-navigate gallery. Scenarios reflect realistic GIS workflows such as finding areas where Medicare costs are significantly higher; analyzing emergency shelter access in the event of a volcanic eruption; finding suitable sites for parks; and studying breast cancer mortality rate patterns. New lessons will constantly be added.
The site will especially appeal to people new to GIS who want to become familiar with how maps can help them better understand a problem or issue such as how income and ethnicity shaped the 2008 US presidential election.
Learn ArcGIS underscores the importance of thinking spatially from start to finish. "Carefully formulate the question you want to answer first," said Aileen Buckley, a cartographer and Learn ArcGIS team member. "Next, collect, analyze, and map your data and then interpret and share the results."
The lessons teach people how to carefully consider the question they want to answer, use the appropriate analysis method, create informative and interesting maps to share with others, and learn to read and understand the maps they use and make. "Not doing it all is not a full analysis," Buckley said.
Initially, the Learn ArcGIS team and other Esri staff will author projects and lessons, but Esri distributors and partners worldwide will add content in the future. As the site evolves, features will be added that foster feedback from learners and let them interact with each other.
"Our long-term goal is to build a worldwide community of learners and educators, with everyone contributing ideas, feedback, and information in a fun, social environment," said Catherine Ortiz, another Learn ArcGIS team member. To start working with Learn ArcGIS, visit learn.arcgis.com.

Sometime in the mid-nineties, my dad got an AOL account. Roughly two seconds after that, I fell down the rabbit hole of anonymous chat rooms and never quite got out–that is when I wasn’t getting the deadly, dreaded dial-up busy signal. AOL charged by the hour back then. Until the service switched to a flat monthly rate in October, 1996, the clock was always ticking, forcing you to make the Sophie’s Choice of where to spend your time online.
Now it seems the industry is heading back in that direction. Not by-the-hour, mind you, but a usage-based pricing model that would prompt viewers to consider whether, say, spending the weekend watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix is really worth it. (Answer: Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.)
Last week, Comcast began testing a usage-based pricing model and at the cable industry trade show in Boston yesterday, Julius Genachowski, chairman of Federal Communications Commission expressed support for the notion.
Mr. Genachowski said tiered pricing, will “increase consumer choice and competition” and yield in “lower prices for people who consume less broadband.” Although, as Electronista notes, “he did not clarify what mechanism would drive prices down.”
Public interest groups have decried the potential impact broadband data caps will have on the market and innovation, not to mention the biases baked in the plans. Comcast, for example, counts Netflix video into its data plan, but lets its own XFinity service stream away.
As the Washington Post reports, Mr. Genachowski “didn’t appear to feel the same outrage,” as Netflix CEO Reed Hastings over it.
“Business model innovation is very important,” Genachowski said. “There was a point of view a couple years ago that there was only one permissible pricing model for broadband. I didn’t agree.”
For our feature in this week’s paper about Aereo, the startup that lets you live-stream broadcast TV, Betabeat discussed broadband data caps with IAC chairman and Aereo investor Barry Diller. (Mr. Genachowski served in senior executive positions at IAC for eight years under Mr. Diller.)
Mr. Diller, who recently testified before Congress in favor of net neutrality, reiterated his support for usage-based pricing.
“I’m a big proselytizer for net neutrality,” Mr. Diller told Betabeat earlier this week. “We have the miracle of the Internet where you can press a button to send and essentially publish to the world, without anybody between you sending that publishing and anyone who receives it. That really is a miracle of communications and it’s worth protecting.”
However, he clarified, “That should not be confused with my belief that anyone who sells bandwidth should be able to sell it on a usage basis, just like electricity and I think that is absolutely appropriate and I’ve advocated that for a long time.”

Whatever is foreseen in joy / Must be lived out from day to day. / Vision held open in the dark / By our ten thousand days of work. / Harvest will fill the barn; for that / The hand must ache, the face must sweat.
And yet no leaf or grain is filled / By work of ours; the field is tilled / And left to grace. That we may reap, / Great work is done while we’re asleep. / When we work well, a Sabbath mood / Rests on our day, and finds it good.
—Wendell Berry, A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems
Today is the second Sunday in our four-week Advent pilgrimage. Our guide for this journey is Matthew Fox’s book Original Blessing: A Primer in Creation Spirituality. Advent is best known as a time for preparing to celebrate the anniversary of Jesus’ birth, known as the Feast of the Nativity. During Advent we are challenged to wait patiently and with expectant hope to remember with grateful hearts what God has already done through the birth and life of Jesus. But in our warm recollections of the past, in the joyful singing of carols, and in the hanging of decorations, we can sometimes forget that an equally important part of the Advent season concerns the present and future.
At Advent, we are invited, not only to wait for Christmas morning, but also to wait and discern how we can partner with the work God is already doing in our midst to repair, heal, and transform this world. Advent is a time for training ourselves to notice how hope, peace, joy, and love are being birthed in our world each moment if we will slow down enough to notice. And it is in this spirit that our theme of “Original Blessing” is best understood. We are taking time this Advent to consider what Christianity would look like if the focus were “birth, human flourishing, this world,” and this life.
Last week our focus was the Via Positiva, the “Positive Way” of befriending Creation. And we considered the task of befriending Creation from one of the largest possible perspectives given the limitations of our finite human point of view. We asked, “What does it look like to do theology in the context of a 13.7 billion old Universe that includes more than 100 billion galaxies?” This week’s sermon inverses our trajectory. Having expanded our consciousness in an attempt to include the fullness of the universe, we are now invited to walk the path of the Via Negativa: the “Negative Way” of befriending darkness, letting go, and letting be. In Fox’s words, “while the Via Positiva teaches us the cosmic breadth of living, of our holy relationship to stars and atom, to royal persons and to blessed bodiliness, the Via Negativa open us to our divine depths” (130). We need to spend time walking down both paths at different points in our life.
Importantly, the via negativa is not about being negative in the sense of being contrary, pessimistic, defeatist, gloomy, cynical, dismissive, critical, or unenthusiastic — just as the via positiva is not about being unduly positive or overly optimistic. Instead, the via negativa is more the negative way of the simple life, learning to “let go” of what doesn’t really matter, and giving yourself permission not to “sweat the small stuff.” As the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) wrote, “God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction” (132).*
Of course the Via Positiva claims the polar opposite: that we find God by expanding our consciousness to include and add increasingly more elements including and beyond the whole of Creation. Both perspectives are equally true, and both paths are needed either more or less, depending on the season of life we find ourselves in at the moment.
We talked last week about how the Via Positiva invites us to have the “courage of imperfection,” instead of obsessing about individual moral perfection. We need the courage to embrace imperfection because perfectionism can be narcissistic — always worrying about and cultivating our own perfection turns our focus inward on ourselves and our own behavior. This perspective is also often focused on the past (what we did, didn’t do, or could’ve done better). In contrast, Creation Spirituality invites us to be grateful for the present moment, even with all its imperfections, as a way of working toward a more hopeful and peaceful future, founded in thanksgiving for all of life.
Similarly, a healthy via negativa is not about extreme asceticism. Ascetic practices are exercises or trainings related to abstinence such as chastity, fasting, or other forms of self-mortification. As with perfectionism, these disciplines often ironically “create more self-consciousness instead of less and reveal a greater ego rather than a lesser one” (129). One Christian pastor has said that focusing too much on self-perfection, self-improvement, and self-mortification risks making Christianity into a “sin management” system, which tragically misses the good news of God’s grace, love, and compassion. Thus, Fox invites us to consider that when we are in a season of our life in which walking the path of the via negativa is essential for our spiritual growth, we stymie our development whenever we refuse to slow down, befriend darkness, let go, and let be (159).
Peter Mayer vividly describes the transition to the via negativa — which is often against our will — when he sings:
Still I clung to my rock tightly with conviction in my arms / Never looking at the stream to keep my mind from thoughts of harm / But the river kept on coming, kept on tugging at my legs / Till at last my fingers faltered, and I was swept away / So I’m going with the flow now, these relentless twists and bends / Acclimating to the motion, and a sense of being led / And this river’s like my body now, it carries me along / Through the ever-changing scenes and by the rocks that sing this song God is the river, swimmer / So let go.
Mayer’s song reminds us that there is a reason that the first of Fox’s four paths is the positive way of befriending creation. Clinging to the proverbial rock of our convictions has to come first. To adapt one of Fox’s sayings, “You can’t let go of what you haven’t fallen in love with.”
To offer another contrast, the positive way of befriending creation and embracing a cosmo-centric consciousness teaches us that, “Facts are God’s native tongue.” And the scientific method is one way of listening to what God is saying to us through Creation. The negative way teaches us that equally true claim that, “Silence is God’s first language and that all other languages are poor translations.”
The via negativa invites us to become acquainted with silence, stillness, and slowness. On befriending darkness, Barbara Brown Taylor has written,
Ask any expectant mother if she wants her baby to come early and she will say no, she does not. As badly as her back hurts, as long as it has been since she has seen her toes, she is willing to wait because the baby is not ready yet. The eyelashes are ready, but not the fingernails. The kidneys are ready, but not the lungs. Those wing-shaped sacks are still preparing to make the leap from fluid to air. There is still more time to do in the dusky womb, where the baby is growing like a seed in the dark.
In contrast to this acceptance of the role darkness, patience, and waiting can play in health and healing, Fox also reminds us that we First World citizens of the twenty-first century are profoundly children of the Enlightenment (with an emphasis on the light at the center of the word En-light-enment). We are significantly shaped by the light scientific discoveries have shed on the mysteries of the universe. But inventions such as the light bulb tempt us to avoid the natural rhythms of night’s darkness and the seasonal darkness of winter’s short days. The light of neon signs, televisions, and computer screens similarly draw us out of ourselves, demanding increasingly more of our attention (134). These are all important discoveries, but they can keep us from ever creating the time and the space to explore the other half of both ourselves and our spiritual journey: the inward, ‘negative way’ of simplicity and subtraction, befriending darkness, letting go, and letting be.
Some of you may know the story of Jill Bolte Taylor, and how it relates to the via negativa. As a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, Taylor was well acquainted with the via positiva: the positive, literal, left-brained way of logic, numerical computation, and direct fact retrieval. Then,
On the morning of December 10, 1996, Taylor experienced a massive stroke, when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours. As the damaged left side of her brain (the rational, grounded, detail- and time-oriented side) swung in and out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realties: the euphoric nirvana of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized her body was having a stroke, and enabled her to seek help. In her book My Stroke of Insight, she writes that by stepping to the right of our left brains, we can all uncover the feelings of well-being and peace that are so often sidelined by our own brain chatter.
Learning to take that step out of our left-brains is part of what walking the via negativa is all about, and Taylor’s story is a fascinating example of scientific insight into the need for both the positive way and negative way to seek healing, wholeness, and the fullness of the human experience.
Next week, we will explore the path of the Via Creativa, the “Creative Way” of befriending creativity and befriending our divinity, which will invite us to “let go even of our letting go” (172). But for now, I invite you to float with me a little longer down the waters of the Via Negativa.
To do so, I invite you to listen once more to Peter Mayer’s song “God is a River.” As you listen, be open to how God may be inviting you at this time of your life the practice some part of the ‘negative way’ of simplicity and subtraction, of befriending darkness, letting go, and letting be:
In the ever-shifting water of the river of this life / I was swimming, seeking comfort; I was wrestling waves to find / A boulder I could cling to, a stone to hold me fast / Where I might let the fretful water of this river ‘round me pass
And so I found an anchor, a blessed resting place / A trusty rock I called my savior, for there I would be safe / From the river and its dangers, and I proclaimed my rock divine / And I prayed to it “protect me” and the rock replied
God is a river, not just a stone / God is a wild, raging rapids / And a slow, meandering flow / God is a deep and narrow passage / And a peaceful, sandy shoal / God is the river, swimmer / So let go
Still I clung to my rock tightly with conviction in my arms / Never looking at the stream to keep my mind from thoughts of harm / But the river kept on coming, kept on tugging at my legs / Till at last my fingers faltered, and I was swept away
So I’m going with the flow now, these relentless twists and bends / Acclimating to the motion, and a sense of being led / And this river’s like my body now, it carries me along / Through the ever-changing scenes and by the rocks that sing this song
God is the river, swimmer / So let go.

Plainspoken and deeply inspirational, it gathers together five compelling essays that urge us to center our lives on God’s presence, to find quiet and stillness within modern life, and to discover the deeply satisfying and lasting peace of the inner spiritual journey. Kelly writes, ‘I have in mind something deeper than the simplification of our external programs, our absurdly crowded calendars of appointments through which so many pantingly and frantically gasp. These do become simplified in holy obedience, and the poise and peace we have been missing can really be found. But there is a deeper, an internal simplification of the whole of one’s personality, stilled, tranquil, in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity’s whisper, walking with a smile into the dark.’”

- Ken Wilber, et al, “3-2-1 Shadow Process,” in, Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening, 41-66. A description of this three-step process, adapted from the book: The term “shadow” refers to the “dark side” of the psyche, those aspects of ourselves that we’ve split off, rejected, denied, hidden from ourselves, projected onto others, or otherwise disowned. In the language of psychotherapy, the shadow is referred to as the “repressed unconscious,” repressed because we’ve pushed or “pressed” it out of our awareness, and unconscious because we’re not aware of it! Two common signals of your shadow manifesting are when someone or something makes you respond in one of the following two ways: (1) negatively hypersensitive, easily triggered, reactive, irritated, angry, hurt, upset – or an emotional tone or mood that pervades you life or (2) positively hypersensitive, easily infatuated, possessive, overly attracted – or an ongoing idealization that structures your motivations or mood. The purpose of shadow work is to undo this repression and reintegrate the shadow in order to improve our psychological health and clarity. One of the greatest benefits of shadow work is that it frees up energy that would otherwise be spent shadowboxing within ourselves. Maintaining our shadow is hard work, even though it is unconscious.
- Adyashanti, Falling into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering: “In the same way that we fall into the arms of a loved one or drop our heads on the pillow before sleep, we can let go into the beauty and truth of who and what we really are. How to take ‘the backward step’ into the pure potential of the present moment, giving up the control we only think we have. The essential invitation of spirituality: wake up from the dream to embrace what is. When we realize that there is grace in every moment, our minds will open, our hearts will expand, and we’ll be able to express the peace and the love that all beings aspire to.”

4 Other technical names for the via positiva and the via negativa are kataphatic and apophatic. The difference is between spiritual practices that use words and images (kataphatic) and silent practices that do not use words or images (apophatic). The prefix kata- means “with” and apo- means “away from” (as in “apostate”); the suffix -phatic means “image” (similar to the English word “photo”). For an introduction to both styles of prayer practices, see Daniel Wolpert, Creating a Life with God: The Call of Ancient Prayer.
5 “God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction” (132) — Meister Eckhart.
6 On perfection and imperfection, Fox writes: “for people who have truly learned to trust creation one of the first lessons is how beauty and imperfection go together. Every tree is beautiful; but if you approach it closely enough you will see that every tree is imperfect. The same is true of the human body: every human body is beautiful, but every human body is imperfect. In nature, in creation, imperfection is not a sign of the absence of God. It is a sign that the ongoing creation is no easy thing…. A perfection-oriented spirituality of holiness is intrinsically-privatizing and does not lead to a spirituality for [all] the people…. One has to ask how much of the quest for perfection is a look back, a nostalgic quest for a time that never was. Certain myths about creation teach that humanity was created in a ‘state of perfection’ and that original sin disrupted that ‘perfect’ state. Fall/redemption theologians like Augustine teach this. Thus the quest for holiness as perfection is a quest for a past event…. [A] world view that ignores what we know of evolutionary history, that flees from nature, and that makes too big a thing of the past. The fullness we seek and the ripening into fuller, compassionate people that we desire draws us into the future much more than into a past that most probably never existed” (110-111). By embracing the this-worldly imperfectionism of everything that we can experience with our senses, Fox is rejecting the abstract, theoretical Platonic notion of perfect, other-worldly “forms” as the ideal.

Of course, the Wii Pad should make for some interesting setups around watching video – will we be able to stream video from the console to the pad itself? Stay tuned, we'll be sure to ask as we get our hands on the new system this week here at the show.

The press conference, was led by Prof. Susana Marcos (Directorof VioBio Lab, Co-Inventor of the SimVis technology and 2Eyes Vision co–founder), and María Viñas, Researcher at VioBio Lab, with the attendance of Carlos Dorronsoro, (Co-Inventor of the SimVis technology and 2Eyes Vision co–founder),Álvaro Sánchez-Lozano, Business Developer of 2Eyes Vision, and Enrique Gambra, CTO of 2Eyes Vision
Thanks to SimVis, developed by researchers from the VioBio Lab (CSIC), patients and surgeons have the possibility of seeing the effects of an intraocular multifocal lens realistically before the implantation. This revolutionary concept caught the interest of several media, including Spanish public television (RTVE)
“Visual simulators are an ideal technique to provide patients with a realistic experience of multifocality before the implantation of an intraocular lens. In addition, since the device has been reduced in size and has a more practical design than those currently in the market, the benefits multiply, ” Prof. Marcos concluded during the press conference.
The technology has led to four patents (one of them received the Best Patent of the Year Award from the Madrid+d Foundation) licensed to 2Eyes Vision, a spin-off company from CSIC, funded, among others, by several of the researchers involved in the development of SimVis.

Today’s team review is from Liz, she blogs here https://lizannelloyd.wordpress.com/
Liz has been reading Face The Wind by Caren Werlinger
On the small island of Little Sister off the Atlantic coast of Maine, Kathleen is beginning to feel settled in her relationship with part-time Sheriff, Molly, and is now an important member of the close-knit community. But another young woman is on her way to the island from the other side of the States. Teacher, Meredith Turner finds her dreams filled with a dramatic shipwreck and identifying the ship from a picture she believes it happened near to Little Sister. Her mother shares the same dream and a surprise Ancestry DNA result causes the two women to question the past.
Louisa is the much-loved, retired island schoolteacher. She is lonely but has many friends to help her. As she waits out her days, she thinks back to her youth at college wondering if her life could have been different. Molly is very happy with Kathleen but sometimes there are misunderstandings. She would love her brother, Aidan, to find happiness but he is scared of committing himself to another person.
The island’s population receive a portent, but will it be a disaster or merely a change in their customs? This magical place attracts many tourists but the last thing they want is an influx of newcomers. It is a pleasure to share the dramatic events and consequences, in my return visit to the island and to see characters I care about struggling to achieve their dreams. Another delightful story by Caren Werlinger.
Kathleen Halloran has never been happier. She and Molly Cooper have built a life together, living in her grandmother’s cottage. The family drama of the past has calmed down. She and Molly will soon be aunts. Life on Little Sister Island is everything Kathleen could wish for… until the island begins to send ominous signals that change is in the wind.
Living beside a different ocean, Meredith Turner tries to make sense of her dreams—dreams of an island she’s never seen but can’t forget. After an ancestry test throws her family into chaos, the tempest that follows blows Meredith and her parents clear across the country, to the island of her dreams.
For Louisa Woodhouse, it feels the end is near. With no one to follow after her, she’s the last of her line on Little Sister, and her secrets will go with her. Soon, the Woodhouse name will join the others that now exist only in the island’s genealogy records.
But Little Sister Island has its own magic—rhythms and seasons and tides and currents that even the best-laid human plans can’t fight. And in that magic is a warning—a storm is coming.

University of Arizona researchers one step closer to Valley fever vaccine
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Researchers at the University of Arizona are one step closer to a long-awaited Valley fever vaccine. KOLD was first to tell you about the vaccine’s development just over a year ago in our podcast Danger In The Dust.
The director of the Valley fever program, John Galgiani, said he’s “comfortable” the vaccine is ready for your canine companions.
“It is now pretty much fully funded to become a vaccine, hopefully in vet offices to protect dogs by 2023,” Galgiani said.
It’s a big step in the right direction. The vaccine was developed on the UA campus. And now, it’s about ready to be used.
Galgiani said, “If you could show that it worked for Valley fever in dogs. That would in fact be a proof of concept that you ought to take this vaccine further toward humans. We’ve now shown that it works in dogs.” He added that Valley fever in dogs parallels in a lot of ways the same in humans.
Galgiani said the symptoms of Valley fever aren’t far off from long-term COVID, such as fatigue and body aches. He said he knows it works and there’s a big need for it here in Arizona.
Galgiani said “there is a need for dogs,” before adding, “They get Valley fever three or four times as frequently as humans do per year. And, the state does not keep statistics on diagnosis in dogs.” Now, with this valuable new vaccine, he’s ready to start pushing forward for a vaccine for humans.
It is something Arizona resident Kurt Hargleroad is grateful for and knows all too, well. “We heard about the rattlesnakes, we heard about the scorpions. But, nobody talks about Valley fever.” He’s had Valley fever himself. While he said he’s doing fine. He knows for others, it can be much worse.
“I did not have serious complications from it. So I was very lucky from what I’ve heard,” Hargleroad said. Now, he’s hopeful for the future of this groundbreaking vaccine. And what it could mean for both dogs and people.
According to the University of Arizona’s research, two out of three Valley fever infections in the U.S. happen in Arizona. As the vaccine for dogs moves forward, researchers are trying to now meet the new goal to get funding for the vaccine for humans.

Last Friday, Sep. 5, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) spoke to students about college debt.
The event, hosted by GMU Democrats, was an open Q&A session where students were in charge of the conversation.
On the last stop of his “Tackling Student Debt Tour,” Warner spent the majority of time answering questions from members of the audience in the packed HUB ballroom. Sophomore Taylor Pigram, the vice president of GMU Democrats, kicked off the evening by describing her experience with college loans.
“Before I [decided] on what college I would attend, I always knew I was going to be in debt,” Pigram said. “I assumed somewhere the government would find some money for me to attend college, but lo and behold my mother was taking out over $13,000 in student loans.”
After Pigram emphasized the necessity of obtaining higher education “just to be competitive in the rocky job market we’ve been forced to find work in,” Warner described his solutions to ease the burden of college payments.
Warner’s Dynamic Student Loan Repayment Act, which he drafted with Florida Senator Marco Rubio, outlines an income-based repayment plan, which would offer greater flexibility with payments. Other solutions presented by Warner were permitting students to refinance loans, employers to designate $5,000 of pre-tax salary for payments and a website dedicated to transparency of a college’s average student debt, which Warner dubbed “Know Before You Go.”
“I think we’re going to have to try a variety of tools to fix this problem,” Warner said in a later phone call. “There’s no silver bullet here, no one single solution.”
Students also shared personal stories. Audience members expressed concerns regarding university funding, unpaid internships and ways the federal government profits off of loans, among other inquiries.
“Whether it’s student debt or aid to higher education, if young people voted in their numbers, these wouldn’t be the first things to be cut,” Warner said. “You have to have your voices heard.”
Not all questions pertained specifically to Warner’s solutions for managing college debt. Some students asked how the DREAM act would help undocumented students pay for college.
“We will not be able to receive aid,” one audience member said. “For example, I can’t fill out a FAFSA. I can’t get loans. I can’t get grants. I can’t do any of that.”
“It’s one more reason why we need comprehensive immigration reform,” Warner said. “You fall in that category, [but] you didn’t make that choice; your parents or your family did, so why should you be penalized on that?”
Warner ended the night on a positive note, trying to instill optimism in those burdened by college debt.
“If you want your voices heard you have got to be part of this process,” Warner said. “You deserve better. We ought to guarantee everyone no matter where you came from, what you look like, what you believe, in a fair shot. I’m going back to work tomorrow to fight for these things. We will get there. I would never bet against the kind of creative energy in America, for that matter, the creative energy in this room.”

by John J. Mearsheimer
"Once again, as the presidential campaign season heats up, the leading candidates are going to enormous lengths to demonstrate their devotion to the state of Israel and their steadfast commitment to its “special relationship” with the United States.
Each of the main contenders emphatically favors giving Israel extraordinary material and diplomatic support — continuing the more than $3 billion in foreign aid each year to a country whose per capita income is now 29th in the world. They also believe that this aid should be given unconditionally. None of them criticizes Israel’s conduct, even when its actions threaten U.S. interests, are at odds with American values or even when they are harmful to Israel itself. In short, the candidates believe that the U.S. should support Israel no matter what it does.......
But Israel’s false friends cannot say any of these things, or even discuss the issue honestly. Why? Because they fear that speaking the truth would incur the wrath of the hard-liners who dominate the main organizations in the Israel lobby. So Israel will end up controlling Gaza and the West Bank for the foreseeable future, turning itself into an apartheid state in the process. And all of this will be done with the backing of its so-called friends, including the current presidential candidates.
With friends like them, who needs enemies?"

The British four piece ‘Blossoms’ were formed in Stockport just outside Manchester in 2013. After releasing two EPs in 2015 ‘Blown Rose’ and ‘Charlemange’ and a third ‘At Most a Kiss’ in 2016, their debut album arrived in mid-2016 with significant music industry interest. The self-titled album creates its own sonic space, falling somewhere between the energetic boombasticism of ‘The Kooks’ and the 60s inspired psychedelia of ‘Temples’.
The album as a whole clearly demonstrates a band with a talent for finding a unique groove within a currently crowded British indie scene. The melodic sensibilities of ‘Blossoms’ seem to hark back much further than many of their compatriots bringing together strands of 1970s rock alongside ‘tongue in cheek’ Britpop irreverence. Lead singer ‘Tom Ogden’ has a voice which seems to be cut from the same cloth as the shimmering Northern swagger of ‘Alex Turner’, whose band, ‘The Arctic Monkeys’ ‘Blossoms’ clearly take significant inspiration. The first half of ‘Blossoms’ is a well-considered success as the band finds the perfect recipe of clever melodic intricacies, strong song writing and the undeniably rock and roll voice of ‘Ogden’. This is perfectly demonstrated in the tracks ‘Charlemange’ and ‘Honey Sweet’
However, while ‘Ogdens’ vocal similarities to ‘Alex Turner’ are something which is generally positive, there is a danger, especially in the latter half of ‘Blossoms’ for the vocal delivery and band as a whole to veer dangerously close to ‘AM’ era ‘Arctic Monkeys’. This is especially clear with the tracks ‘Smashed Piano‘ and ‘Texia’ and does detract somewhat from the overall feel of the Album. Clearly, then, this is an album of two halves and seems to be an attempt to strike a balance between the bands creative outpouring and radio friendliness; perhaps what the band wanted to produce and what was considered commercially viable.
In truth, there is no need for there to be such a distinction. ‘Blossoms‘ have proven themselves to be an exciting band with a knack for melody and should be confident to evolve their own sound without the need to borrow too heavily from any of their counterparts. This is a band which have shown considerable potential with their self titled first release and have the ability to create considerable musical longevity for themselves.
Blossoms is out now via Virgin EMI Records.

The action in the financial sector seems to have shifted to Bandra-Kurla-Complex (BKC) and Zenobia Aunty decided to check it out. She met several old friends whose offices had shifted to this area and the buzz word in the corridors was the exhaustive press release issued by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on the recommendations made by the K.M. Chandrashekar Committee.
As Zenobia Aunty sat and chatted, the rain continued to pour down, keeping in tandem with the free falling rupee. Understandably, FIIs and other investors were not enthused and stock markets have taken a beating. Thus, the key recommendations made by The Committee on Rationalisation of Investment Routes and Monitoring of Foreign Portfolio Investments and SEBI’s decision on the same, which will be known next week will be keenly watched.
Existing Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), sub-accounts and Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs) are proposed to be merged into a single class of investors, termed, ‘Foreign Portfolio Investor’ (FPI). They can register themselves with and transact through Designated Depository Participants. The Committee has suggested that prior registration of FIIs and sub-accounts with SEBI should be scrapped. Zenobia Aunty feels this is a good move, as it will ease the procedural burdens.
The aggregate investment limit for FPIs will be 24% (which is the current aggregate limit for FIIs). This can be raised by a company up to the overall investment limit permissible in their sector of operation.
That said, portfolio investments have been defined as investments by any single investor or group which does not exceed 10% of the equity capital of the Indian company. Anything beyond this will be treated as foreign direct investments (FDIs).
NRIs and Foreign Venture Capital Investors (FVCIs) will continue to be treated as separate categories. However, investments by FVCIs may open up in new sectors.
“As of now, FIIs and QFIs are governed by different eligibility rules for investments. One wonders whether since they are clubbed in one category, such distinction will be obliterated. For instance, FIIs can in addition invest in commercial papers or derivatives traded on the stock exchange,” states Zenobia Aunty’s investment banker friend.
Of course, when it comes to Zenobia Aunty, her favourite subject – taxation can never be far behind. At present in respect of investments made by QFIs, the depository participants were responsible for withholding taxes in India before remitting the gains to QFIs. How will this work going forward?
The risk-based know your customer approach is an issue, which seems to have been much welcomed as it is rational. So yes, there are some open issues. But when one is among friends, the future does seem brighter. Hakuna Matata and have a nice weekend.

This blog post was written by Sonia C. Park, Executive Director, Diverse Charter Schools Coalition. The mission of the Diverse Charter Schools Coalition is to catalyze and support the creation and expansion of high-quality, diverse-by-design public charter schools through strategic research, advocacy, membership activities, and outreach. DCSC’s membership has grown from 14 founding member schools and networks to over 70. Collectively, DCSC members represent 211 individual schools serving close to 80,000 students in 22 states and the District of Columbia.
Authorizers are receiving applications from, and approving, a more diverse array of public charter schools than ever before! This is exciting: it means that one of the primary goals of the charter movement — innovation — is alive and well.
Although there was a consistent decline in the opening of new public charter schools from 2014 until 2017, more recently there has been an increase in the number of new independently run and community-focused schools. This suggests that charter school authorizers are listening to the desires and aspirations of communities and families, and providing unique learning opportunities tailored to the students they serve.
The rise of Diverse-By-Design public charter schools seeks to counter the trends in American schools, which are more racially segregated now than in the 1970s. Studies have shown that school segregation breeds social inequality, disparate access to society’s resources, and less acceptance of people who differ across multiple social identities. Since Justice Marshall’s dissent, researchers have proven these benefits of socio-economically and racially diverse school settings:
- Academic achievement improves.
- Achievement gaps decrease.
- College attendance increases.
- 21st Century skills sharpen.

Walnut floors typically come from America or Brazil, and they are known for having a sleek, dark appearance. As a trusted local business, we provide our customers with no-obligation, at-home estimates and consultations.
Our team of installers and flooring specialist are highly experienced in the products and installation of all species of hardwood flooring, including walnut flooring. We work with you to complete your project to your satisfaction in a manner that is on time and on budget. With so many species and varieties of hardwood available, we are prepared to help you select from the appropriate walnut samples, offer style tips, and perform a quick, efficient installation of your new floors. Here are some things to consider with walnut floors:
The main benefits of walnut floors are their durability, their aesthetic appeal, and their softness. Brazilian walnut is much harder than American walnut, making it much more durable and resistant to dents and scratches. However, the softer American walnut flooring feels more comfortable underfoot. Walnut flooring has characteristically dark coloring, and when this is paired with a glossy finish you have a ready-made sleek, modern look in your home or office.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks to walnut flooring. The softer varieties of walnut hardwood floors are susceptible to scratches and dents, so make sure to have them properly sealed and try not to have them installed in areas with very heavy foot traffic. Walnut flooring can be somewhat expensive, due to its high quality and its attractive appearance.
Our partnerships with leading manufacturers allow us to offer high-end products such as walnut flooring at competitive prices. We have access to a wide range of colors and finishes of walnut flooring, so you will surely find a product that fits your project’s specific requirements.

By Jim Rizzo, editor of Classic Truck Magazine
American Trucks magazine fans are by now well aware of the high regard I hold for LMC Truck. Their high-quality wares, friendly well versed staff, and fantastic service have over the years made them my go-to source for the majority of my classic truck restoration needs (as a matter of fact, my ’57 small-window actually sports more LMC Truck components than it does General Motors). That said, when they asked if I might pen the background story on the company’s pride and joy, the ’67 Chevy C10 which graced the cover of LMC Trucks’ very first truck parts and accessory catalog. I was truly humbled and I hope I’m able to provide you and the folks at LMC Truck an enjoyable and accurate look at this beautifully restored classic pickup.
When Long Motor Corporation decided to enter the American Truck market back in 1993, they began searching for a truck to photograph for the company’s first catalog. The truck they eventually found and purchased was a 1967 Chevy C10 long bed. Little did they know that the workhorse they’d chosen would be the truck that would represent the history of the company.
In 1993 the truck, now known as Lowla, began a journey that would take her from temporary storage in a corner of an LMC warehouse, to a mule used for testing and test-fitting new LMC Truck components, and finally to the state of restored perfection showcased in the pages of their expansive Chevrolet truck catalogs to this day. Needless to say, in a process that has spanned 20 years she’s been a cherished representative that has done her part in helping grow LMC Truck into the largest supplier of truck restoration parts and accessories in the nation.
The Chevy C10 was an extremely popular truck back in her birth year of 1967, but Lowla was never an ordinary C10. Born with a little more muscle under the hood than average, and equipped with a drum brake system, she quickly earned the nickname “death sled.” Despite her brakes, she quickly became an employee favorite; her powerful engine’s distinctive rumble let everyone know whenever she left the LMC Truck warehouse and the rubber she left on the road was proof of her torque.
Fast forwarding to 2013, the folks at LMC Truck decided to transform their aging classic into a genuine showpiece. The crew brought the old truck out of retirement. A Name the Truck contest was held, and “Lowla” was selected from thousands of entries submitted by LMC Truck customers.
To begin Lowla’s restoration, LMC Truck looked to none other than my pal Stacey David, host of the TV series “GearZ” on Speed TV. The goal was to turn Lowla from a good looking but aging parts truck into an eye catching showpiece. Stacey suggested they convert her from a long bed to short bed. And while long beds were more common, short beds do look cooler, so they agreed to tackle that modification during her restoration.
Before Lowla was sent off for her makeover with Stacey, she underwent a few minor adjustments from LMC Truck’s research staff which included lowering her a few inches improving her stance dropping her stance and swapping her original drum brakes for discs. Lowla then went on to star in two episodes of “GearZ”, where Stacey chopped and shortened the frame, moved her fuel tank from the cab to behind the rearend, and added a fresh cargo bed assembly (from LMC Truck of course) transforming her into a short bed.
After her initial modifications Lowla was then shipped off to Max and Margaret David at Possum Holler Garage in Sawdust, Tennessee. There Lowla was expertly dissembled and stripped. Next, everything which needed replacement was and what wasn’t replaced was massaged into pristine shape. Next she received a sparkling, glass-smooth paint job. After exiting the spray booth she was treated to a host of fresh new parts from LMC Truck’s extensive inventory.
Lowla’s television career is not over yet. She recently arrived in Florida for a visit to the set of “All Girl Garage.” Jesse Combs, Bogi, and Cristy Lee will put the finishing touches on Lowla in a show airing on Velocity network on September 21, 2013. After that her next stop is the set of “Truck U” for a series of tech tip features airing on the Great American Country channel from September through November 2013. Among the upgrades tackled there will be the installation new door panels and trim; seat reupholstery; and the installation of the brand new LMC Truck Exclusive LED Digital Dash (which, by the way, will be released to the market and ready for sale on September 14, 2013). Finally, in all her restored glory, Lowla will star alongside Courtney Hansen for an episode of “PowerBlock” set to air on Spike TV in January 2014.
Lowla’s story is but one joined by seventeen other LMC Truck customers’ trucks and stories that you’ll find featured here in the pages of American Truck magazine. And keep in mind, Lowla’s restoration is just one of perhaps thousands of truck restoration stories around the country, and whether it is your daily driver or a truck that has been in your family for years just remember, LMC Truck’s passion is “keeping ‘em on the road.
Lowla is back at our corporate headquarters and we recorded her “Growl!”

The article below is an excerpt from the January newsletter of one of our suppliers, ExpoDisplays. David Holladay, President of ExpoDisplays offers some “back to basics” sales advice that reinforces how the sales team at FBD2 works with our clients.
Back to the Basics
In the world of sales, things can tend to get complicated. As we strive to learn more and more about the sales profession, we constantly develop new strategies that make us better at what we do. Sometimes this can lead to getting so far “out there” that we can forget the basics. What better time than the start of a new year to remind ourselves about the “little things” that can get overlooked, causing us to lose sales or waste time? So here are a few that I have to remind myself about before I dive into the sales process with a prospect.
Donʼt Assume Anything. Start Anew Each Time
When that longtime customer comes to you for a solution, treat her like an exciting new prospect, not like an automatic repeat customer. Donʼt take her for granted. Donʼt fall into the world of “inside sales” or “order taking”. We often make the mistake of assuming that we understand what someone wants because weʼve worked with her for so long. But that may not be the case. Things may have changed in her world. And the competition is after her, promising new,exciting ideas and products. Take her for granted and you may be beaten by the competition.
Establish a Budget – Every Time
Throw out numbers early and often in the process. Donʼt make the mistake of doing a bunch of work and offering solutions that end up being “too much” at the end of the process. If that happens, you have to start over and you have wasted your time and hers. In the beginning and at each step in the process get an estimated dollar amount on the table and make sure that she says “ok” before you proceed.
Present to Decision Makers
How many times do we have to hear “Thanks for all of the work but the boss wouldnʼt approve it” before we learn that we HAVE to get the decision makers involved in the process. Most sales people will tell you that they were not able to get in front of the decision maker, but 90% of those sales people never even tried because they were scared to ask. Your prospect should understand that you are trying to help her get what SHE wants. And the best way to help her sell the idea/product to the decision maker is to get the decision maker involved early in the process. Otherwise, youʼll both do a bunch of work for nothing. Early in the sales process you need to ask the following question, “How will the decision making process work and who are the people that will be involved?” Now help her navigate that process so she can get what she wants.
Donʼt Present Too Early
The solution that you present should be the very last thing in the process. Before you design, quote or present something, you need to have all your bases covered. You should have addressed everything to the point that when you present, you are simply expecting a “yes” or “no” answer. You should already know the budget, how the purchasing process will work, who the decision makers are and what each is looking for. If you donʼt know those things, you donʼt need to present a solution.
Understand the “Why”
Speaking of presenting too early, do you have a good understanding of “why” the prospect is looking for this product? If you donʼt, then you are just an inside sales person or a “quoter” and a good sales person that asks good questions will take this business from you. Remember this saying; “Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice.” You must diagnose (the “why”) before you prescribe (the “what”). Donʼt get caught up in just quoting products based on what your prospect asks for, like pop-ups or banner stands. When your prospect uses one of those terms, ask the question, “Pop-up? Sure I can help you. What led you to decide on a pop-up?” The answer that you get may make it crystal clear that a pop-up is NOT really what this person needs.

Ok.. waaaay off topic.. Well, not too far I guess.. It is still gaming..
Got Mass Effect last night… Had a hard time putting it down.. It is really good.. I’m not so good at combat, but I am really enjoying the game. I’m sure I’ll get better at some point. I have to agree with the sentiment that the squad member AI is a little odd though.
I have been enjoying running around the Citadel (the big space station) doing quests and such. I have only played the first planet you go to and then the Citadel so far. I have been trying to do “everything” (well, almost). I picked the combat/tech guy and so far am ok with it. I wish I could use some other weapons than my pistol and sniper, but it is fun so far. I had some issues with the “lock picking”. Seems to be very picky about how quickly you hit the buttons. Got the hang of it now though (I think/hope).
I played around 4 or so hours last night and look forward to spending many more exploring the universe. The customized communication is amazing too. You pick your background when you create your character and many of the conversations include information that comes from that background. I picked “sole survivor” and NPCs talk to me about that experience. I also got to a point where I could get information in a couple of different ways and it was good that since I got it one way, the other avenue tells me that he can’t help me.
As I said, I am very impressed. The graphics are pretty good, although the faces are a bit odd sometimes. I get a lot of dithering on facial shadows. Anyone else see this? (anyone else who is reading this have Mass Effect?)
Well, I didn’t really play WoW last night. Not sure I’m playing tonight either If we are running SSC or Gruul this week, I’ll be there (The sacrifices I make for my guild!). Zul’Aman I’ll participate in also if I can . Not sure about Kara. This is not my week anyway.
Well.. May be some WoW info on here at some point this week.. But maybe not. I’ll try to do some more posts about cool stuff in Mass Effect if I remember.
Good luck out there.

My Whole-Food, Plant Based Vegan Glossary
This page is under continuous development as I am building this site. Thanks for exploring! These are just some of the words/terms/topics I found interesting as I began blogging for this site. For a comprehensive, utmost legit library of topics go to NutritionFacts.org/topics.
Acrylamide is a “chemical that is created when we fry carbohydrates.” Potato chips and French Fries exceed the amount allowed in water by law 30,000%. It has been “linked to human kidney cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and human breast cancer.(s) This is a carcinogen from frying potatoes; like the heterocyclic amines and polycyclic hydrocarbons formed at high temperatures when you deep-fry animal products.(s)
Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE’s): glycotoxins in food suppress sirtuin activity. Excess consumption of AGE’s can be neurotoxic. High levels in the blood may predict cognitive decline over time. Researchers have linked AGE’s with cerebral brain loss. Foods highest in AGE’s are chicken, bacon, hot dogs, steak, turkey, and fish. (s) (s) AGE’s are considered gerontotoxins (aging toxins), thought to accelerate the aging process. (s)
Atherosclerosis is hardening and narrowing of the arteries, also called Heart Disease or Cardio Vascular Disease. Atherosclerosis is caused by fatty deposits from the foods we eat. These foods are oils and dietary cholesterol found only in animal foods. See our post on Heart Disease, the leading killer for almost a century.
These fatty deposits build up into vaso-constricting plaques decreasing vital oxygen flow to all of your organs. In addition to the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, the plaques crystallize into sharp edges that may break under systolic pressure. These crystals are found puncturing through the arterial wall of heart attack vitcims. (s)
Atherosclerosis can go unnoticed for many years. It may manifest into various life threatening diseases from the spine, to the kidney’s, to the heart, and brain.
Atherosclerosis involves the entire vascular tree affecting the entire human organism. Symptoms may be lower back from a malnourished spine, impotence, heart attack, and a list of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. (s) also see ischemia.
Allium, like cruciferous, are a family of vegetables like leeks, garlic, and onions. Those particular ones happen to suppress cancer the most. See Best Veggies to Fight Cancer.
Angiogenesis is the physiological process of new blood vessels forming from existing blood vessels. Some foods have antiangiogenic properties, like mushrooms. This may in turn prevent cancer growth, metastasis, and even necrosis of the cancer.
Beta Amyloids, Amyloid plaques are sticky buildup that accumulates outside nerve cells or neurons. Amyloids are protein that is normally found throughout the body and when they divide improperly they become beta amyloid which is toxic to neurons in the brain. Diet-induced high cholesterol has been shown to increase the formation and progression of amyloid plaques in the brain. Copper with a diet high in saturated fats appears to exacerbate cognitive decline and even Alzheimer’s disease. (s)
Cyanobacteria, also known as Cyanophyta, is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes able to produce oxygen. The name “cyanobacteria” comes from the color of the bacteria. (s)
C-reactive protein is a substance produced by liver in response to inflammation. High serum levels could mean anything from an infection to cancer to arterial inflammation (increased heart attack risk). Saturated fat is associated with an increased likelihood of elevated C-reative protein levels. (s)
Dead Zones are areas in oceans and large lakes where marine life can no longer survive. These areas are developing at alarmingly exponential rates. And they just so happen to be occurring “near inhabited coastlines, where aquatic life is most concentrated.”(s) I first learned about them through Dr. Sylvia Earle in her incredible documentary Mission Blue. Everyone should see her documentary. Sylvia has exploring and analyzing the oceans as a marine biologist since before she achieved her doctorate of phycology from Duke University in 1966. Learn more about Dead Zones from her perspective by checking out Mission Blue.
Endotoxins (Endotoxemia) come from the dead bacteria in meat. This cannot be destroyed by your gut bacteria or even boiling for that matter. And to make matters worse “animal fat may play a profound role in the pathogenesis of after meal inflammation by increasing the absorption of the endotoxins.” (s)
Energy Density: the weight reducing effect of fruits and veggies is due to their “low energy density“. Unlike meat, eggs, and dairy plant foods have a lot of fiber and water meaning “you get a lot of food for just a few calories, so it fills you up”. “Energy Density is defined as the amount of energy per unit weight of a food or beverage.” Foods high in fat are generally high in energy density. Meats, eggs, and dairy are all examples of this. It’s better to stay away from high energy density foods. Nuts are the only exception to this rule. (s) Energy density explains why you can lose weight on a whole-food, plant based diet eating more food.
Epigenesis when environmental influences alter our genetic expression, causing our genes to change in either positive or negative ways.
Fat is one of the three macronutrients (see also protein and carbohydrates). Animal fats cause atherosclerosis (heart disease). Essential omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are found in nuts in seeds. Everyday I eat a serving of pecan or walnuts with a salad or meal and flax in my cereal and/or smoothies. I only need 58g fat a day. A serving of walnuts is 52g. Two tbsp of flax is 8g! It’s important to get a balanced ratio of omega 3 and omega 6.
Frugivore is an animal that eats fruits, nuts, and vegetables (sound familiar? lol). Check out our post on “Humans Should be Frugivores“
Glycotoxins (Advanced Glycation End Products) also considered gerontotoxins (geronto as in gerontology) or aging toxins, thought to accelerate the aging process-the multi-system decline in anatomic integrity and function. There are two sources of these toxins, one, we can/t do much about. They are produced internally as natural waste products of metabolism. But source number two is our diet. The highest concentrations of AGE/s are found predominantly in chicken, bacon, and other meats. (s) (s) (s)
Goitrogenic compounds are naturally occurring chemicals found in many healthy foods that can “interfere with the uptake of iodine into the thyroid. (s)
Homocysteine is a non-protein a-amino acid. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood, Hyperhomocysteinemia, has been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Elevated homocysteine levels are thought to contribute to atherosclerosis, stroke, blood clots, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer’s. Homocysteine is biosynthesized from methionine. Protein from meat contains the most methionine. To learn more about methionine visit our page on protein. (s) (s) (s)
Macronutrients are protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
Micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Vitamins are organic substances made by plants.
- There are 13 vitamins: vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the eight B vitamins: thiamin/B1, riboflavin/B2, niacin/B3, pantothenic acid/B5, pyridoxine/B6, biotin/B7, folate/B9, and cyanocobalamin/B12. You can get all your vitamins from whole food, plant based based sources (and a B12 supplement since you probably wash your food, drink clean water, and practice modern hygeine). Your body also makes vitamins D and K.
Water Soluble Vitamins: B1, B2, B6, B12, C, & Folic Acid/B9
Fat Soluble Vitamins: A, D, E, K
You may also want to check out our Supplements page.
- Minerals (major/large amounts needed & trace/small amounts needed) are inorganic substances that are not made by living things. Minerals are found naturally in soil and water and are absorbed by plants.
Minerals examples are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus.
Trace mineral examples are zinc, manganese, selenium, copper, iron, cobalt, iodine, chromium, fluorine, lead, cadmium.
Mitochondria is found in eukaryotic organisms and are the power station of the cell. They are organelles that digest nutrients, break them down, and create energy rich molecules for the cell. Your heart muscle cells have more mitochondria (5K per cell!) than any other organ in your body. The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging suggests that free radical damage to our cells mitochondria lead to loss of cellular activity and function over time. (also see superoxide) (s)
Mushrooms come in over 2,000 edible varieties! They are saprophytic in that they feed off of rotting dead animals (like the necrovore so many humans think are) and plants. As a result some attempt to argue that mushrooms aren’t vegan or vegetarian even. But because they do not have a brain and therefore presumably cannot feel pain they are fair game for vegan consumption. Scientifically we know they can be both very beneficial and very toxic. (s) But so is everything else which is why you want to consume the most nutritiously beneficial over the risks.
It’s a good idea to always cook your mushrooms. This removes most if not all the agaratine, a mycotoxin. I may cook them in the microwave for a minute and a half or more before any other cooking methods.
If you soak them in Sunsine to increase vitamin D cooking in the sun for an hour “may” help remove this toxin. Mushrooms are very beneficial nonetheless. For example, they increase immunoglobulin A (IGA), an antibody that may play as significant role in immune function of mucous membranes (e.g. mouth, gut lining, eyes, etc…). So as far as agaratine the benefits of mushrooms outweigh the risk even with nominal cooking as far as we know right now. Mushrooms have also been shown to have antiangiogenic properties.
Methylmercury all fish contain small amount of this, the most toxic form of mercury, and fish consumption is the main source. Exposure can cause overt structural brain abnormalities like microcephaly, which is a shrunken brain disorder. (s)
necrosis is the death of most or all of an organs cells or tissue. This may be caused by a disease, injury, or loss of blood supply.
Nitrate is a polyatomic ion made of one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms. Plants need nitrates to grow. When we eat plants based foods like arugala, beets, etc. our body converts the nitrates into nitrites and eventually nitric acid. Nitric acid is a powerful vasodilator widening blood vessels. This results in life-enhancing effects minimizing the risk of high blood pressure and “improving oxygen efficiency while decreasing age-related cognitive decline.
Processed meats are cured using the preservative sodium nitrite to fight harmful bacteria’s. When nitrites are added to meat as a preservative nitrosamines (Carcinogens like the ones found in cigarettes) are formed. Food is a package deal and the phytonutrients found in plants block the formation of nitrosamines. (s)
Package Deal is a significant concept (s) in which we consider all of the effects of what we consume. “For example, you could throw a multivitamin into a scoop of sewer sludge and legally call it a “good” source of half a dozen things, but it would probably kill you. It’s not good at all… It is impossible to get the calcium from dairy without also getting all the hormones. Or the iron in beef without the saturated fat. So, these aren’t necessarily good sources of nutrients after all, because we can’t get one without the other. (s)
When “we get our nutrients from non-animal sources… then we don’t have to worry about saturated fat, cholesterol and the rest. And there’s a bonus that comes when we get, for example, our iron and zinc from whole grains, greens, beans, nuts and seeds, the fiber, folate, the phytonutrients, etc. It’s a package deal, but in a good way!”(s)
Protein from animal sources comes with many risks that gravely outweigh any potential nutritional benefit. Plant sources of protein come packaged with loads of essential fiber, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.(s)
The idea of Package Deal also applies to supplements. For example; beta-carotene, lycopene, isolated green tea compounds (catechins), selenium and even vitamin E supplements result in more cancer. Dietary, plant sources of nutrients suppress cancer whereas supplement sources not only don’t work they cause more cancer. The protective effects of a phytochemical-rich diet is best obtained from frequent consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products. (s)
Isolated Soy Protein (e.g. in soy milk, soy meatless burgers, soy candy bars, soy shakes, soy sausages) is another example of this. Soy as a whole-food has many amazing beneficial effects. However, consuming those isolated nutrients raises IGF-1, which feeds cancer to say the least.(s)
Phosphorus (or phosphates) is found in both animal and plant food. But, the phosphates found in plant foods “are mainly in the form of phytic acid” (see Phytates below). Phosphorus is essential for all living organisms. In plants it enables growth, plays a role in photosynthesis, respiration, energy storage and transfer, cell division, cell enlargement, and several other processes. (s) Plants obtain phosphorus through the soil, where it’s released from rocks through weathering and even ocean sediments.
In humans, much like in plants, phosphorus is an essential mineral. We need it for growth and repair of cells and tissues. “Next to calcium, phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body.”(s) All body cells contain phosphorus with 85 percent found in teeth and bones. “There, together with calcium, phosphorus provides structure and strength.” It is also a component of DNA and RNA “which carry genetic information used to make proteins. Phosphorus also “acts as a buffer, neutralizing acids to maintain normal pH in the blood. Many enzymes and hormones contain phosphorus as a structural component. Hemoglobin, the important oxygen-carrying protein in the bloodstream, depends upon phosphorus… for proper function.” (s)
Too much phosphorus in the blood “is the leading cause of disease and death in kidney failure patients” and “isn’t good for anyone. Intakes of phosphorus “in excess of nutrient needs have been shown to significantly disrupt the hormonal regulation of phosphate, calcium, and vitamin D, which contributes to disordered mineral metabolism, vascular calcification, impaired kidney function, and bone loss. Moreover, …. mild elevations of serum phosphate within the normal range are associated with cardiovascular disease risk in healthy populations without evidence of kidney disease.” (s)
“Having high levels in our blood has been found to be an independent predictor of heart attacks and mortality in the general population, increasing risk of not only kidney failure, but heart failure, coronary death, and overall death.” Higher phosphate levels are associated with significantly shorter lifespan. It’s thought to cause damage to blood vessels and accelerate the aging process, even potentially hurting our bones contributing to osteoporosis by disrupting hormonal regulation.” The estimated average intake of phosphorus in the US is nearly twice the RDA. (s)
Phosphate-containing additives are present in most meat products and significantly increase the phosphorus content. “Inexpensive food containing additives (processed food), and fast food in particular, are extra ordinarily rich in phosphate additives…” Milk and other dairy products are also high in phosphorus and aluminum. One grilled cheese sandwich may exceed the world health organization’s provisional tolerable daily intake of aluminum by 428%, in one sandwich.” More than 90% of poultry is injected with phosphate additives. Furthermore “most foods with phosphorus additives do not list them on their food label. Sometimes they call the phophate additives flavorings or broth.” Some more examples include dicalcium phosphate, disodium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, and the list goes on… To keep it simple “minimize intake of anything with those four letters: p-h-o-s.” (s)
“Those this practice remains banned in Europe, thanks to a 1982 ruling, 11 different phosphate salts are allowed to be injected into meat and poultry in the United States. Despite the fact that phosphate is considered an arterial toxin, causing our arteries to stiffen up within just two hours of consumption”. Furthermore, adding phosphate to poultry increases the survival of C. coli and C. jejuni bacteria strains million times more! “The infectious dose for campylobacter has been shown to be as little as 500 organisms. How much might there be in chicken? 100,000 can be easily recovered from washes of whole chicken carcasses.” Basically, this is a 100 fold increase in the potential of contracting this “food borne disease that can leave people paralyzed.” (s)
Phytonutrients (a.k.a. phytochemicals) refer to the over 30,000 different compounds found in plants (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes). Phytonutrients help protect plants from germs, fungi, bugs, harsh sun rays. They also help us fight off free radicals, reduce oxidative damage to cells (cancer protection), and they are anti-inflammatory (protect against heart disease). Phytonutrients are of course only found in plants, hence “phyto”.
Phytates are found in seeds, legumes, grains and other plant sources of food. Plants store phosphorus as phytic acid. When phytic acid binds to minerals it is called a phytate. Phytates are antioxidants but the concern is they may bind to dietary minerals. However, slowing absorption may be a good thing. And, because of the “lack of the enzyme phytase the bioavailbility of vegetable phosphate esters is usually less than 50%. (s)
Cashews are one of the richest sources of phytates. Soy, pintos, kidney beans, navy beans, and peanuts are high in phytates and may have twice the amount found in lentils, walnuts, chickpeas, peas, and white beans. The bran in whole grains has high concentrations of phytates.
Phytates in unsoaked beans, legumes, and whole-grains may inhibit iron absorption 10-50%. However, just 50 mgs of vitamin C counteract these phytates. 150 milligrams of Vitamin C increase absorption 30%. 100 mg of Vitamin C twice a day for 60 days resulted in a full recovery of anemia for most people. A study using 500 mgs twice a day to increase hemoglobin and ferritin (iron) lead researches to believe that Vitamin C supplements was more effective than iron supplements: https://youtu.be/KQVc8Tpg3T8
Refined grains have had the phytates removed. This process increases shelf life. However, it also removes the iron, fiber, a quarter of the protein, many B vitamins, and a score of other nutrients. As a results only a mere shadow of the original grain is left that is excessively starchy and high in gluten. Furthermore, the process of refining introduces various chemicals.
Phytates are actually a phytonutrient and are good for us. They have a “wide range of health-promoting properties, such as anticancer activity. But because it binds up some of the minerals, that just means one has to eat more whole healthy plant foods-or eat mineral absorption enhancers, such as garlic and onions. In fact, the whole allium family of vegetables was recently found to have promoting influences on the bio-accessibility of iron and zinc.” (s)
They have been shown to help protect against cancer. More on this coming soon!
Superoxide The oxygen we breathe may get a hold of an electron we ate that was pumped with energy by plants, thanks to photosynthesis, and transformed that oxygen molecule into what’s called superoxide, which can damage (oxidize) our delicate cellular machinery. (see mitochondria and superoxide dismutase) (s)
Superoxide Dismutase is a detoxifying enzyme within our mitochondria that neutralizes superoxide and turns it back into oxygen. It’s considered a tumor suppressor gene, staving off cancer. It’s considered neuro-protective in our brain, staving off dementia. Eating vegetarian seems to boost this anti-aging enzyme’s activity 300%. A three-fold increase in the expression of the superoxide dismutase gene compared to the omnivore control group. This change in our gene expression based on our diet is called epigenesis. (also see superoxide) (s)
Telomeres are a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of each strand of DNA protecting our chromosomes from deterioration and fusion with other chromosomes; effecting how our cells age. An enzyme called telomerase can slow, stop, and maybe even reverse telomere shortening that happens as we get older. Saturated fats, or the increased oxidative stress and inflammation from animal foods (meat, eggs, and dairy), are toxic to heart cells, bone marrow cells, pancreatic cells, and brain cells and have been shown to shorten telomeres. (s)
Whole-Food, Plant Based Diet is simply a plant based diet. The science studies and observes the healthful effects of this diet where we eat grains, greens, legumes, and fruits. We have a whole post on it for a more elaborate definition here: What is a Whole-Food, Plant Based Diet?

The Rutledge City Council convened on Dec. 16 to swear in three newly-elected city officials, honor two departing council members and to vote on three submitted requests. Judge Charles Merritt swore in two new city council members, Tim Smith and Bruce Altznauer, and the incoming Mayor of Rutledge, James Bratcher. “We are proud to have him as our new mayor,” said Brenda Thompson, a city council member. Retiring council member Bill Spann was awarded with a commemorative plaque for his eight years of service on the city council. “We give you our thanks to you for being such a loyal servant to the people of Rutledge. We appreciate you so much for all you have done,” said Thompson. Outgoing Mayor, Spencer Knight, was also honored with a plague for his eight years of service. “You always have the best interest of this city at heart and we know you love this place as much as we do,” said Thompson as she presented Knight with the plaque. Knight’s time as mayor has come to an end, but he will be filling a new role for the city of Rutledge. The city council unanimously voted Knight to become the new Planning Commission member. “He is a homebuilder with excellent experience in homebuilding and zoning,” said Thompson. The board also approved a few submitted requests at this month’s meeting. The council voted unanimously to approve Whitfield County to “construct and maintain a Georgia Civil War Heritage Trail Marker” to be placed in the city park. The sign will display information about the Civil War. “This is a marker sign they are putting up all over Georgia about the civil war, it will be a wheelchair accessible sign/marker for a Georgia trail sign in the Rutledge city park, totally maintained by Whitfield for the next 20 years. It is nothing on us, but they need our permission to put it up,” explained Knight. The board also unanimously voted to adopt a resolution of a bill granting Homestead Exemption, a property tax exemption, for senior citizens. “We had lawyers draw this up, if we approve it, it will go on the November 2014 ballot for the citizens to vote on and enacted in 2015,” said Knight.

The www.labradorwest.com website has been completely redesigned with the new brand and has a number of new features that is more responsive and is easier to navigate. The high powered search engine will ensure that users find exactly what they are looking for under each of the Stay, Work or Play themes or in the Town Hall section which has information relevant to each individual town. There is also a community calendar that gives residents an option to add their own events and an extensive community services listing where businesses and organizations can sign in and update their own information or add community programming. All of these features will automatically be linked to a new app, which will be free to download on both android and iOS devices. This will ensure that residents and businesses have all the information they need on the Towns of Labrador City and Wabush right at their fingertips.
This marketing project was funded, in part, by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the provincial Department of Business, Tourism, Culture and Rural Development.
“The Town of Labrador City has always been a strong advocate for the regionalization of services in Labrador West and I am pleased with the work we have been able to do together on this marketing project with the Town of Wabush. We are confident this brand and all of the new tools represents who we are as a region and all the wonderful attractions we have to offer. So whether you are a resident, a visitor or a prospective business, we want you to live large in Labrador West.”
– Mayor Karen Oldford, Town of Labrador City
“This project has demonstrated that positive things can be accomplished when we work in partnership with a common goal. We now have a cohesive regional brand and an impressive website and app that emphasizes our aggressive and modern economy and the incredible amenities available in each of our individual municipalities and the region. We have always known that Labrador West is a great destination for doing business, raising a family or vacationing and now we can proudly showcase this to the world.”
– Mayor Colin Vardy, Town of Wabush
- The Labrador West logo takes its inspiration from a building shape. While the building is instantly recognizable as a symbol of industry – important to the region of Labrador West – it also points to the hills that surround the towns of Labrador City and Wabush. The trees are designed to emulate the black spruce found in the region, while the red signifies excitement, vitality, and energy.
- The two shades of grey represent the iron ore that much of the region’s industry is built on, as well as representing the towns working together. This, paired with the rustic, deep red, creates a clean, bold and fresh new look for Labrador West.

LAU event honors renowned Lebanese novelist and journalist
The university’s Center for Lebanese Heritage organizes an event in memory of the late Karam Melhem Karam.

The first event of LAU’s Center for Lebanese Heritage for 2011 was in memory of the late Karam Melhem Karam, a renowned Lebanese author and journalist, known as “the prince of the Arab novel.”
Held on March 7 at LAU Beirut, the event was organized on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO Palace Festival, which in March 1961 paid tribute to Karam one year and a few months after his death.
Poet Henri Zoghaib, CLH director, moderated the event, describing Karam as “a legendary novelist who wrote what was never ever written by any other novelist in Arabic.”
Using the words of famous Lebanese poet Said Akl, Zoghaib said Karam was a person of “indescribable brilliance.”
Zoghaib then introduced the four presenters: As-Sayyed Mohammad Hassan Al Amin; former Minister of Justice Edmond Rizk; Mohammad Sammak, secretary-general of Lebanon’s Christian-Muslim Committee for Dialogue; and Issam Karam, former Bar Association president and Karam’s eldest son.
Al Amin talked about Karam’s style of writing, which combined both classic and modern elements. He described Karam as the son of Lebanon and humanity, of Islam and Christianity, adding that Lebanese people are in sincere need for his presence today, especially his patriotic speeches.
Rizk also stressed Karam’s patriotism and portrayed him as an eye emerging from darkness to obliterate darkness.
Sammak said Karam was a “creative novelist who was able to give life to historical personalities, using ink and paper, through his supple and attractive style and his luminous artistic creations.”
He added that the importance of the memorial ceremony was not to retrieve the past, but to look forward to the future.
Issam Karam spoke about the genuine moments he shared with his late father, recalling a discussion they had about the virtue of respect, and the respect of oneself.
The presentations were followed by an exhibition of Karam’s photos, publications and letters in LAU Beirut’s Riyad Nassar Library. The displayed items included extracts from his articles in Alf Leila wa Leila (A Thousand and One Nights), the magazine devoted to novels that Karam founded after having worked with several dailies, and which he published for 26 years.
The event was attended by a number of political, literary, academic, religious and military figures.
CLH organizes its events the first Monday of every month. Its next event will be in memory of Shibli Al Mallat, known as the “Poet of the Cedars,” on April 4.

Same story, different day. At least that's the clean version of the expression.
Not much is going on here. Mrs. Sixline has been sick. Although I've been a bit off myself (think I'm adjusting to the weather) I feel pretty good. Lucky me, I don't get sick. At least not that often. I seem to get one cold/fever a year, and usually when I do feel nasty I just sleep it off. In a day or so I'm always doing much better.
On a serious note, and this probably won't make sense-- don't worry if it doesn't. I'm giving as much detail as I'm comfortable with. I hate knowing I'm going to do something, something I don't want to do, and doing it anyway. It causes so much frustration the second the act is over. 'What was I thinking?! How could I be so stupid?' The outsider says 'So just stop.' I wish it were that simple. Sometimes it's like I've programmed myself through previous choices and when I'm triggered I can't really help it-- not that I'm disavowing all accountability in the matter, the choices I made in the past set up the pattern that happens now and I'm accountable for them. I think this is why I believe we're only free to choose the right. Choosing wrong limits your ability to stop doing that wrong. Addiction sucks.

In general, using as little of your credit card limits as possible is better for your score. So logic would suggest that paying off your credit cards early so that a zero balance is reported to the credit bureaus would produce the highest scores, right?
Turns out, having 1% of your credit limits in use may help your credit score even more than showing 0% usage. Counterintuitive as it is, that’s how credit scoring works.
Why 1% is better than 0%
Credit scoring systems are designed to predict how likely you are to repay borrowed money. The two biggest credit factors — accounting for about two-thirds of your score — are paying on time and the amount you owe.
Credit utilization, or the percentage of your credit card limits you use, is one of the biggest levers you can pull to affect your score, and it works quickly: Your utilization changes as soon as card issuers report your new balances to the credit bureaus each month.
If you are trying to squeeze every possible point from credit utilization, the trick is to aim low — just above zero. Credit expert John Ulzheimer says that data has shown that 1% credit utilization predicts slightly less risk than 0%, and scoring models reflect that.
Tommy Lee, principal scientist at FICO, one of the two dominant credit scores, explains it this way: “Having a low utilization indicates you are using credit in a responsible manner.”
How to shoot for 1%
If you’re aiming for a perfect 850, or are close to qualifying for a lower interest rate on a loan, shooting for 1% might help you gain a few points. You could aim to zero out your credit cards, knowing that your regular use of the cards will keep some small percentage of your limit in use.
Ulzheimer, who has worked for credit bureau Equifax and credit scoring company FICO, explains how: “If you can pay off your balance in full by the statement closing date, then you’ll get a statement with a zero balance and that’s what will appear on your credit reports.” Or, you can pay off a card in full by the due date and stop using the card entirely for the next billing cycle to get to a zero balance.
“But 1% could be better if you can pull it off,” Ulzheimer says.
You could do that by using the AZEO (all zeros except one) strategy to get every credit card but one to a zero balance. Because credit utilization is calculated both overall and per card, you may want to use your highest-limit card as the one that will have a statement balance. Simply add all your credit limits together, and figure 1% of that.
You can also try paying online as soon as a transaction posts to keep the balance low. Or, use a personal finance website or your card issuer website to check your credit utilization weekly. Then make a payment to bring it down, rather than waiting for your monthly statement.
What if I can’t make it to 1%
Keeping utilization under 10% is another worthy goal. Lee says that the top 25% of FICO credit scorers use about 7% of their credit limits. If you pay on time and keep balances low relative to credit limits, your scores will generally be high.
Ulzheimer points out that if you are fretting over whether you want a credit utilization of 1% or 0%, it’s worth noting that either is excellent. And it’s entirely possible to score a perfect 850 without the elusive 1%. How that works is part of the “secret sauce” that scoring companies do not reveal.
How to get and keep a high score
Nothing is more important to your score than paying bills on time. The scoring penalty for a missed payment is severe, and a payment that’s 30 or more days late can stay on your credit report for up to seven years.
Also, use cards lightly and keep balances low to keep your credit utilization low.
In addition, keep an eye on the other factors affecting your credit score:
- Check your credit reports for errors (you can access them by using AnnualCreditReport.com).
- Keep credit card accounts open.
- Aim to space credit applications about six months apart.
- Use both installment credit (loans with level monthly payments) and credit cards.
And monitor your credit — regular checkups are part of staying financially healthy.

MADRID (Reuters) – The separatist leader of Spain’s Catalonia region said on Thursday his possible removal from office would hamper its coronavirus response by triggering an unnecessary election and fuelling political tensions.
Quim Torra was speaking at the Catalan government’s delegation in Madrid after a Supreme Court hearing of his appeal against a sentence handed down by a lower court last December on charges of disobedience.
He had been banned from public office for 18 months and fined 30,000 euros but this did not come into effect pending his appeal.
The case stems from his refusal to follow the orders of Spain’s electoral committee to remove symbols supporting jailed and self-exiled independence leaders from his government palace during a national election campaign in 2019.
If upheld, the ruling would bar him from public office and very likely prompt a snap regional election.
“If the Spanish state reaches a point of such absolute irresponsibility as to disqualify me, only one party is to blame: the state itself,” he said.
His responsibility as regional head of government “means fighting the pandemic 24 hours a day,” he said. His removal would mean “punishment to a whole country in the middle of a pandemic”.
“I’m not the one who will bring this country, at such a critical time, through an irresponsible electoral period that will paralyse Catalan administration,” he said, reading a statement.
Catalonia has been a virus hotspot in Spain, which has Western Europe’s highest number of cases. As of Wednesday, 30,243 deaths had been recorded nationwide.
The separatist drive has dominated Spanish politics for the past several years. In 2017, the Catalan assembly made a unilateral declaration of independence after holding a referendum ruled illegal by Spanish judges, prompting the national government to take direct control of the region for over seven months.
Nine separatist leaders are serving prison sentences for sedition and other charges, and others are in self-exile.
The court showdown comes at a time of increasing tensions within the pro-independence movement, part of which supports talks with Madrid. Opinion polls show Catalans are mostly split on independence.

The Liberal Party claim that a 25 per cent increase in the minimum wage would result in 50,000 lost jobs in B.C. is mostly false.You’ve probably heard Liberal leader Gordon Campbell on the campaign trail talking about the NDP proposal to raise the minimum wage. He says if the minimum wage is raised from the current $8/hr to $10/hr, 50,000 people will lose their jobs.
Here’s what he’s said on April 7, 2009, “we'll lose 50,000 jobs in British Columbia from that one announcement alone.”
On April 23, 2009 during the radio debate, “the wage recommendations [the NDP has] will cost 50,000 jobs in small business.”
On May 3, 2009 during the TV debate, “[Carole James] has to have the wherewithal to stand up to workers and say here's your pink slip, you're out of work.”
It’s safe to say he wants voters to come away thinking that in James gets in, they might be out…of a job.
We looked into where Campbell’s “50,000” number came from and what we found is that the jury is still out on how a 25 per cent minimum wage hike, or from $8/hr-$10/hr would affect B.C.

A Plant City man was killed Tuesday in a rear-end collision on the BeachLine Expressway, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
A 2011 Mazda driven by James Boswell, 32, of Plant City hit the rear of a 2006 Chevrolet pickup driven by Daniel Hall, 47, of Davenport, troopers said.
Boswell was pronounced dead at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital in south Orange County.
The chain reaction started when an eastbound 2003 Chevrolet van driven by Darrell Cantrell, 46, of Deltona slowed for traffic near International Drive about 6:55 a.m., investigators said.
A 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt behind him could not stop in time and hit the van in the rear, investigators said.
Hall's pickup also hit Cantrell's van.
The driver of the Cobalt, Devonia Thompson Jr., 24, of Fayetteville, N.C., was taken to Dr. P. Phillips Hospital with minor injuries.
Cantrell and Hall were not hurt, troopers said.
Everyone wore a seat belt.

There are some advantages to being 60 in Chandler’s Ford.
Last year, my husband and I discovered that residents over 60 can apply for a Leisure Pass for Fleming Park Leisure Centre, which allows the holder to access the facilities for half price during off-peak times. We have been merrily swimming and gym-ing ever since!
Before Christmas, my friend Janet took me to Spirit Health Club at Holiday Inn and we spent a very pleasant evening swimming and using the sauna and steam room. (This is a lovely facility, and well worth checking out).
It reminded me how much I enjoy a sauna during the winter months. I knew Fleming Park had a Health Suite accessed from the gym changing room, so I enquired about the cost – a very reasonable £3.50 with my pass. So on Friday, I drove off in the pouring rain and (for the princely sum of £7.00) spent an hour and a half in the gym and finished off the morning in the Health Suite.
Feeling 10 years younger!
When I pushed open the door, I found a pleasant space ringed with white chairs and a low central table. The lighting was low and relaxing. On the left I found the beautifully clean and comfortable sauna, which was alternately peaceful and full of friendly conversation as people drifted in and out. There is a communal cold shower to use between sessions situated between the steam room and the sauna. I did not venture into the steam room this time, but will try it out next week.
I emerged into the sunshine at lunchtime feeling fit, warm and relaxed, and ten years younger. What better way to spend a Friday in February?

How Could Noah Have Built the Ark All by Himself?
by John D. Morris, Ph.D.
". . . the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Hebrews 4:3)
Some have ridiculed the Flood story by insisting that the job of the Ark's construction was impossibly large. How could Noah have done it? Admittedly, we don't have all the details, but let's make some reasonable assumptions and see if the task is too great.
The Lord predicted that His judgment on the sinful civilization in the days of Noah would come in 120 years (Genesis 6:3). When He told Noah and instructed him to build the Ark (6:14-16) is unclear. But let's assume that Noah had the full 120 years warning.
Noah's three sons began to be born 100 years before the Flood (cf. 5:32 with 7:6) and within a few years were able to help. There may have been others to help as well, for grandfather Methusalah was alive during the entire construction period, dying the year of the Flood. There may have been others in a godly remnant of whom we know nothing. All we know now is that only eight people, Noah and his wife, their three sons, and their wives, constituted the faithful still living when the Flood finally came (7:13; II Peter 2:5). It may also have been that Noah hired construction workers to help. He must have been at least wealthy enough to abandon his livelihood during this period, but again we have no knowledge of these details.
Let's take the worst case scenario. Let's assume that only Noah and his three sons were available to help. Could they have done it all by themselves? To answer this we must first understand the magnitude of the job.
In Scripture we are only told the gross dimensions of the Arkó450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high, assuming a cubit of 18" (6:15). We also know that the Ark had three decks (6:16). Thus the overall volume of the Ark was:
450 x 75 x 45 = 1.52 x 106 ft.3
But a structure consists mostly of open space. Most houses are over 95% open, less for large ships. In our worst case scenario, let's assume that 20% of the Ark's volume was worked lumber that the four men had to gather, transport to the construction site, do the necessary shaping and install.
1.52 x 106 x .2 = .304 x 106 ft.3
Remember, the Ark didn't have to win any beauty contests, or speed races, it just had to be strong and float. It probably more resembled a rough barn or stable in workmanship. The generations so soon after creation, living in an ideal environment with long life spans, were no doubt intelligent and capable. It hardly matters if the family were experienced in construction for within a year or so they would have been true professionals. An experienced crew of four could have installed, we assume, an average of 15 cubic feet of wood per day. If anything, this estimate seems low, but this is the worst case!
15 ft x 6 days x 52 wks = 4,680 ft3/year
It's now easy to calculate how long it would have taken.
|0.304 x 106 ft3||= 65 years|
Sixty-five years under this worst case scenario! A big job, yes, but Noah was a faithful man, and accomplished the task. As we see, even simple calculations can enhance our faith in God's Word.

Web Essentials Wins First Prize at Startup Weekend!
At Web Essentials 'innovation' is more than just a buzzword. We love questions like: Can you transform a startup idea into a winning pitch in 54 hours? That's the concept behind Startup Weekend, a marathon event attended by designers, developers, business managers and entrepreneurs. Success stories include: Zapier, LaunchRock and Eventup.
The Startup Weekend Concept
Here's how they started out:
On Friday evening attendees pitch their idea in 60 seconds, teams form around the top-billed ideas then have less than 48 hours to brainstorm, code, design, formulate business plans, create basic prototypes, and ultimately pitch to a panel of entrepreneurial leaders on Sunday evening. 1St, 2nd, and 3rd prizes are awarded to teams that demonstrate exceptional Business Models, Customer Validation, Technical ExecutionandDesign Execution.
Two of our web developers, Danet Krueng & Borey Has participated, forming half of the Doctor Advisor team, generatingprototypes for a web application that connects patients with doctors in Cambodia, according to other patient reviews. 'In Cambodia it's often challenging to find the right, high quality doctor,' Has observes.
Applying technical know how and flexible working integral to Agile, they moved the concept forward to establish a solid business framework alongside their NGO-worker teammates.
Mary Lüthy-Hui, our Interim Managing Director was on hand as a Coach, alongside tech industry heavyweights to provide guidance. Expertise on the judges panel was formidable, including Google Emerging Markets Entrepreneur, Divon Lan.
Sunday evening brought triumph for participants from Web Essentials, with Doctor Advisor awarded 1st prize by judges, who advised the team to 'think big' and expand the scope of the web application beyond Cambodia.
They leave the event with greater insight into entrepreneurship: 'If you are a developer, you only see things from a developer perspective,' says Borey, 'but if you want to run a business, you have to do market research,' Krueng adds.
Doctor Advisor remains in their plans for further development, subject to investment.
We look forward to contributing our high quality capacity and specialist expertise to future innovation-led events.

“The Crossover of New Media Immersion and Site-Specificity: Contemporary Art and Spatial Experience.”
Anja Bock, Ph.D., Concordia University, 2009.
In the literature on contemporary installation art, a conceptual paradox keeps rearing its head: frequently artworks are described as immersive and site-specific. But how can they be both? Although both terms have solid foundations within art history, they tend to be regarded as mutually exclusive categories, pertaining to very different kinds of aesthetic experience: “immersion” draws on our relationship with new media and engages a long history of illusionism and simulation, while “site-specificity” focuses on actual places as a way to circumvent illusionism and reveal the material or ideological forces that define a particular site. Given this difference, my objective is twofold: first to discover their respective usefulness and limitations, and then to ask, what happens when we think of them together?
In answer to this question I propose that the discourses of new media immersion and site-specificity have created a “crossover.” That is, the two discursive zones have neared each other to the point that they have created a force field between them, thereby generating a new zone altogether. I am using the figure to suggest the drastic waning in prominence of new media immersion and site-specificity as discrete discourses within art history over the last decade: each falls away to the margins, falling by the wayside of validated art practices, leaving between them the expansive zone of the crossover.
This zone is explored through detailed analysis of five artworks: Olafur Eliasson’s installation Notion Motion (2005); Philip Beesley’s interactive environment Hylozoic Soil (2007); Mike Nelson’s tri-part stage-set Triple Bluff Canyon (2004); Gregor Schneider’s labyrinthine Weisse Folter (2007); and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s augmented city square Under Scan (2005). I propose that each artwork helps build critical theory around the issues at stake in the crossover, particularly with regard to contemporary spatial experience and its implications for subjectivity. The case studies have been grouped into three chapters in order to allow certain issues pertinent to the crossover to come to the fore more forcefully: interactivity, spatial facsimiles and augmented places.

After ''that'' goal … Trent Dennis-Lane celebrates. Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
WITH Sydney clinging to a one-goal lead late in the final term of the elimination final against Carlton in 2010, Trent Dennis-Lane smelt blood.
The Swans small forward mowed down defender Dennis Armfield, tackled him, earned a free kick and, from an uncomfortable angle, clinically slotted his fourth goal. Sydney won by five points. The goal's significance in the match was huge. For the player, it provided a personal indicator of his capabilities and whether he has what is required to form a successful career.
Dennis-Lane is on the interchange for today's match against the Western Bulldogs at the SCG. He's been in and out of the side this season and speaking as straight as the ball often leaves his boot, the 23-year-old conceded he needed to regularly show that his moment against Carlton was no aberration.
''It's about doing that sort of stuff on a consistent basis,'' the man known as ''TDL'' said yesterday. ''[I think back to it] a little bit. It's almost like a reassurance that I know I can do it. It tells me that I know I can get there because I got there before. It was nearly two years ago now, so it's in the past, but hopefully I can do something like that again in the future.''
Some Swans fans have been discussing on internet forums why TDL has not been given more time, especially as Sam Reid has struggled. His lateral leads could drag defenders away and leave more space for key forward Reid, a role seemingly to be played today by Craig Bird.
Dennis-Lane, who works closely with mentor Jarred Moore, has been told to earn regular starting spots, he must improve his defence, work rate and pressure skills.
''They said, 'If you can prove you can do these things consistently, then we think you can play an important role for us in the senior team'. They've always said, 'We know you can kick goals, but you've got to be able to keep the ball in our 50, trap it in there and put pressure on the opponent'.
''For all the small forwards in the AFL these days, pressure is highly rated. You get blokes with speed who can do chase down tackles and close ground on opponents. My challenge was to do that in reserves and then an opportunity would arise for me, which it eventually did.''
Dennis-Lane is content with his limited senior performances in 2012. He says it's a ''cruel sort of system'' entering and exiting the side, but he's committed to the brief.
''It's pretty much make or break at the moment,'' he said. ''Every opportunity I get I've got to grab with both hands and not let it go.''
He will get a chance today against a Bulldogs side that, itself, has talented small forwards, in Daniel Giansiracusa and Luke Dahlhaus. Joining Dennis-Lane on the interchange will be Shane Mumford, six weeks after the ruckman injured his back, and defender Tony Armstrong, who will play his second game for the season. Forward Tommy Walsh and defender Nick Malceski have been omitted. It is Heath Grundy's 100th game and Lewis Jetta's 50th.
''The main message is to win the ball,'' Dennis-Lane said. ''We pride ourselves on that quality. If we can do that across the ground, it'll help us to get the win.''

Money laundering, terrorism and financial crime are all growing threats globally that are impacting financial institutions. How can these challenges be combatted?
In a recent post by Alessa, the company highlighted that to successfully combat these risks, coordinated and collaborative efforts through arrangements known as public-private partnerships (PPPs) are vital.
PPPs are strategic arrangements made between private sector firms and government agencies, such as law enforcement and regulatory authorities. These partnerships can be contractual, corporate, or collaborative in nature, and the role played by public and private organisations can be flexible to meet specific requirements.
Alessa said, “PPPs provide opportunities for FIs to collaborate with public sector stakeholders in identifying and addressing financial crime risks. PPPs can improve analysis, investigation, and prosecution of financial crimes, thus benefiting both private parties and their governments.”
The company offered one example of where PPPs can be used to support AML/CFT efforts in the form of suspicious activity report filings. It said, “Financial institutions spend billions of dollars to file millions of SARs annually. However, only a small number of SARs provide useful information to law enforcement. Thus, the SAR process is costly, burdensome, and hugely inefficient. This is largely because FIs do not seek, and law enforcement does not provide, feedback on the value of the information contained in SAR filings.
“However, when designed to link strategy, approach, and execution, anti-financial crime public-private partnerships can be an integral part of an effective AML/CFT program, facilitating the exchange of relevant information and enhancing financial crime intelligence and analysis to combat financial crime. The bilateral relationships formed through PPPs facilitate knowledge-sharing for both sectors.”
Alessa remarked that FIs are in a ‘unique position’ to identify customers and activities that are likely to pose money laundering and terrorism financing risks.
Other benefits of PPPs, Alessa claims, include the ability to prioritise threats, more timely investigations, increased responsiveness, heightened risk awareness and better understanding of complex financial issues and their vulnerabilities to abuse. In addition, FIs that participate in PPPs may be able to minimise their risk of an enforcement action, increase their AML compliance cost efficiencies and avoid reputation damage associated with money laundering violations.
Alessa commented, “From a public sector perspective, public-private partnerships enable organisations to better understand what the private sector experiences and subsequently inform policy and the enactment of laws. From a private sector perspective, PPPs offer regulators an opportunity to explain the application and reasoning behind certain policies. By leveraging PPPs, the public sector can improve their understanding of complex financial issues or services and their respective vulnerabilities, enabling them to pre-empt criminal activity and introduce proactive measures to support the private sector.”
How can you build effective PPPs? The Wolfsberg Group has urged the public sector to prioritise the establishment and strengthening of PPPs and has encouraged FIs to participate actively in information sharing frameworks to foster a more effective AML/CFT regime. To reach this objective, the group has identified a number of keys for success.
These include active participation and sponsorship from public sector figured, inclusive and multi-disciplinary membership, established structure and membership with regular meetings, focus on sharing actionable information, mechanisms to track impact and identify areas for improvements and support by a legal framework for information sharing.
Even if a bank or FI cannot participate in a PPP, there are several measures it can implement to avail itself of the advantages a PPP provides and enhance the effectiveness of its AML/CFT program.
According to Alessa, FIs should stay on top of the latest anti-financial crime trends, practices and guidance, benchmark against peer institutions to assess and compare your organisation’s AML/CFT program, prioritise the most significant threats to your organisation and allocate resources accordingly, test and re-test frequently to identify gaps, issues of concern and opportunities for improvements, then deal with them promptly.
In addition, FIs should actively and routine communicate with their regulatory authority and understand regulatory expectations and share and solicit relevant information in a timely manner and as widely as appropriate.
Alessa concluded, “Raising awareness among political leaders, regulatory authorities, the private sector, other stakeholders, and even within an organisation, is a key element in the fight against financial crime and other illicit activities. Given the cross-border nature of financial crime, solutions need to be global.
“Financial intelligence sharing, including collaboration and dialogue, lead to far better outcomes than initiatives pursued in isolation. The sharing of specific risks and actionable information, as well as active communication between the private and public sectors enables a more targeted, and informed approach to risk-management and helps to protect the financial system and the public.
“Participation in a PPP can provide banks and other FIs with numerous benefits and significant advantages, including increasing efficiencies in its AML investigatory and reporting functions.”

Round 6: Ben Ronaldson vs. Michael Debard
By Mark Wraith
Ben Ronaldson's Deck
Michael Debard's Deck
Michael was the original Grand Prix circuit hero. He picked up a massive six top eight finishes in the early years, although he hasn't shown up so much recently he is still a well-known and respected opponent.
Ben Ronaldson is the reigning English National Champion. He hasn't had too much opportunity to show off his skill at the Pro Tour level yet, but he is a member of the powerful Team European Alliance.
Michael goes first in game one and gets a good fast start throwing out an Agent of Shauku and a Sift Crawler, while Ben has a Drake Hatchling by turn three.Damage is swapped for a couple of turns bringing Ben to eleven, Ben playing only an Oraxid. At this point it's looking pretty good for Michael but Ben has a few tricks to show him when the Treetop Bracered Sift Crawler attacks into the untapped Hatchling on turn six. Ben can cast two Mageta's Boons, and pump his Hatchling, to kill the Crawler and leave himself with a sizeable threat.
The game swings again as Ben lays a Shield Dancer and Michael makes a Saproling Burst, and a Highway Robber. The rober trades with a Soul Charmer. Michael makes three 'Hill Giant' sized creatures.When he attacks Ben is forced to consider carefully because of possible tricks involving the Agent of Shauku. The Agent gets through and one token is blocked by each of Drake Hatchling, Oraxid, and Shield Dancer. Michael pumps up the token enough to kill the drake, but after damage is on the stack Ben shows a Ramosian Rally to keep it alive ! This also means that the oraxid survives and the Dancer's ability deals with the third.
From here it's all Ben as he plays a Story Circle, and then draws a Mercenary informer to take care of Michael's recently summoned Pit Raptor. This game took a long time leaving them with only twenty or so minutes for the remaining two games.
Game two starts slowly with Michael laying out a Spidersilk Armour whilst Ben plays a Wanderig Eye revealing a decent enough hand for Michael with good creatures but no Mountain to go with his Seal of Fire, and Ben has a Story Circle and a creature or two.
Ben lays out his Story Circle, choosing black, and Michael lays out a Cateran Brute and a Thresher Beast. The beast only has chance to attack once before it's progress is halted by Ben's growing army of topdecked monsters - over the next three turns he draws and casts Shield Dancer, Drake Hatchling, and Pious Warrior.
The momentum swings as after a few uneventful turns Michael can enchant a Horned Troll with Treetop Bracers. Ben can't block as the Brute has recruited an Agent of Shauku again. Ben draws no real way of dealing with the flying troll, and is soon forced to scoop.
There are only four minutes left for the third game which soon ends in an agreed draw.
Match result - Draw

NEW YORK -- Author/filmmaker Peter Hanson's "Tales From the Script," with its focus on writers who've furnished the studios with mainstream product and know the rules, inadvertently suggests the great divide that separates the mainstream movie factories from the indie world.
But with its impressive roster of participating Hollywood screenwriters who are the non-stop talking heads at the heart of the project -- spiced with a number of well-chosen clips from Hollywood films that depict fictional toilers of the trade -- "Tales From the Script" is an enjoyable if not particularly enlightening ride into a mean, tough, well-paying biz that grows ever more challenging. To convey the lesson here (while paraphrasing Dante), don't give up all hope, you who dare to enter.
Tales shares insights by addressing multiple subjects such as how Hollywood works, how you sell and survive, how abuse is rampant, how the business has changed, etc. There are the familiar plaints about abuse. Vet writer William Goldman ("All the President's Men") shares that "you'll get pissed on and rejected." And much patience is required, as Frank Darabont attests, since it took him years to break through. And how about those 45 versions of "Amadeus" written before the film could be shot?
There's precious little information about writing well as opposed to writing to please -- Why bother, as everyone else will jump in and make their changes? -- but some tidbits are forthcoming. Goldman reminds that structure and story are what really count. Ron Shelton ("Bull Durham") succeeds by writing about issues that are really important to him.
As for selling, writer-director John Carpenter confesses to being unable to pitch. But the real obstacle to making a sale is how easy it is for studio executives to say "no." A "no" is safe because execs can go off to lunch with no worries.
Discussing the process, Paul Schrader ("Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull") says that he sidelined writer's block by writing "hard and fast." Explaining his rapport with Martin Scorsese and scoring points for bonding, he notes that both were short, asthmatic, angry film buffs.
Several talking heads cite the changes in the business, how marketing rules as does the corporate thinking that has overtaken an industry once run by moguls who knew the movies. Billy Ray ("Shattered Glass," "State of Play") bemoans the fact that the great films of yore that we all love could never get made today. And Goldman points to today's enormous, "terrifying" production costs that paralyze much of the business.
Scripts today, suggests Steven de Souza ("Die Hard"), must so conform to studio needs and the "personal agendas of executives," he suggests writing scripts that have opportunities for "plug and play," so execs can drop in what they need.
Also in the interest of gaining results, action specialist de Souza and others talk about writing for stars. Even latecomer Justin Zackham ("The Bucket List") had Morgan Freeman's "voice in his head" as he wrote his breakthrough script. Shane Black ("Lethal Weapon," "The Long Kiss Goodbye") recommends learning an actor's vocabulary by studying the craft in order to better write for the performer.
Other important writers have their say here and it doesn't matter that many triumphed in years past. Today, the Hollywood movie business has been largely reduced to action and franchise tentpoles, leaving little room for the creativity good writers can deliver.
Even if the rules, quality and odds have changed, the participants in "Tales" suggest how to get through. Battlegrounds may shift, but war strategies remain stable.
"Tales from the Script" has a cross-platform assault that also includes a DVD of the doc due in late April and a paperback edited by Hanson and Herman available now (and including a few additional big-cheese writers).

- "One hundred thousand kilometers to target.'--Air Chariot AI
"Affirmative. Escape route secured. However, probability of escape is one percent.""
Like out of a dream a chariot styled space craft equipped with an anti gravitational field allowing flight, and anti proton cannon that completely destroys all matter, and a dimensional shot: a blast that not only destroys the target but sends the debris left in wake to another dimension. It is equipped with an advanced AI that takes voice commands anticipates actions needed and automatically displays the probability for success. It has sensors that searches out desired targets and relays the information on a screen. Custom made by Varossa and conceptualized by his sister Laria , it is also equipped with Stealth Technology that masks him from all technological senses and telepathic detection when engaged. The barrier has been strengthened at least to twice as strong as the last chariot destroyed in the moon base assault. It allows him to overpower and pass through other barriers not as technologically advanced or strong as his such as Meyerling's with out effort. A barrier that held back the entire Counter Insurgency Forcescalculated to have enough energy to last for eternity that enveloped his entire kingdom. The Capital's dimensional cutter also seems to be useless.
It allows for faster than light speed travel as they are described as reaching the moon from earth using them with in moments.
In Mercenary Road it is mentioned the Nobility have the ability through a special field travel near or at lightspeed with in earth atmosphere. These chariots probably make use of this and travel at that speed or maybe faster outside earth's atmosphere.

Our expedition doctor Maj.Rahul Mahajan and I had gone to the communication tent of Dawa Steven Sherpa of Asian Trekking tent to send emails. While I was chatting with David Liano from Mexico who is attempting a double summit from Nepal and Tibet, suddenly I heard a distressing voice on the radio. I knew it was one of Dawa’s Sherpas and assumed he had fallen off the mountain. Nawang Kalden was on the Lhotse Face and he was hit by a rock while he was moving from Camp II to Camp III. Rodrigo, Dawa Steven was rallying support and help on the radio from other groups including Alpine Ascents, IMG and others who were on the mountain. It was Rodrigo, Dawa’s client, who was with Kalden. Rodrigo, can you please stabilize Kalden while I am sending some Sherpas from Camp III and Camp II for help, spoke Dawa into the radio. Kalden was somewhere between Camp III and Camp II. Rodrigo came back on the radio to say Kalden was wobbling while walking but he needed to be evacuated from the mountain for him to be safe. In the thick of all these conversations, one of them found a doctor Monica who was stationed at Camp II. Dawa Steven was a much a relieved man but still needed to know the status of Kalden. The Sherpa who was hit was in much pain and someone came on the radio to say a Dexamethasone to be administered. Maj. Rahul Mahajan intervened to say dexamethaxone can’t be administered to someone with a head injury. In the meanwhile Kalden managed to reach Camp II. He was lucky to be picked up a rescue helicopter sometime in the afternoon. But Da Rita Sherpa, a Sherpa with IMG Expeditions was not so lucky. Early that morning, he died in his tent after a cardiac arrest. He was suffering from High Altitude Cereberal Edema (HACE). His friends tried to resuscitate him by giving him oxygen, but in vain. His body was moved to Camp II and a rescue helicopter flew into Camp II to carry his body to the Base Camp. Kalden is recovering.

Hi, I am new to the forum and hope that someone can help me with a problem I have been having lately. It is identical or related to the problem described here:forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/1910-DfrgNtfs.exe-in-Vista-SP1 Sporadically, the process with the name DfrgNtfs.exe will start. Usually it goes through about 2 cycles (PID changes but name remains the same). It is NOT the weekly defragmenting process. My schedule is set to Wednesdays 1 am and this will go about every Wednesday without a problem. Deactivating the scheduled scan does not affect the automatic start of DfrgNtfs.exe as part of Boot optimization. About two days ago I experienced the following: the process would start automatically and would not stop again. As soon as one Process DfrgNtfs.exe with a specific PID finished, another one (different PID) started. This went on for about 3 hours. Here is what I noticed: In the regular (wednesday) defragmentation process both HDD activity ensues all the time and the process itself doesnt take so much CPU. The automatic process (probably boot opt.) locks up at 50% CPU (one full core of my Dual Core) drops to 0% and then rises again to 50% as a new PID is introduced. HDD activity happens only at the time that the process itself is to 0%. My questions now are: I never had a problem with the automatic defrag process as part of boot optimization until a few days ago. What should I do? Really deactivate it via Registry tweaks? Or should I still wait and see? Why are the two types of defragmentation so different (continous HDD activity vs. lock-up of CPU). Is this not the same activity of defragmenting? Do you think it is normal that the automatic. process would not stop for several hours until I interrupted the process through moving my mouse? I would really appreciate your help because Im very concerned about what happed and what I should do. Thanx in advance!

The biggest threats to women's health are often preventable. Here's what you need to know to live a longer, healthier life.By Mayo Clinic Staff
Many of the leading threats to women's health can be prevented — if you know how. The top causes of death among adult women in the U.S. include heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, Alzheimer's disease, and unintentional injuries, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Take control by talking with your doctor about your risk factors for these conditions. Then get serious about reducing your risk.
If you have health problems — such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes — that increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, follow your doctor's treatment recommendations. Also, consult your doctor about when you should have mammograms and other cancer screenings.
While you can't eliminate risk factors such as family history, you can control other risk factors for heart disease, stroke and cancer. For example:
- Don't smoke. If you smoke or use other tobacco products, ask your doctor to help you quit. Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Eat a healthy diet. Choose vegetables, fruits, whole grains, high-fiber foods and lean sources of protein, such as fish. Limit foods high in saturated fat, added sugar and sodium.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Losing excess pounds — and keeping them off — can lower your risk of heart disease as well as various types of cancer.
- Get moving. Exercise can help you control your weight and lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. It might also lower your risk of certain types of cancer. Choose activities you enjoy, from brisk walking to ballroom dancing.
- Limit alcohol. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. For women, that means no more than one drink a day. A drink is one and a half ounces of standard 80-proof liquor, 12 ounces of beer, or a five-ounce glass of wine. The risk of various types of cancer — including breast and liver — appears to increase with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you've been drinking regularly.
- Manage stress. If you feel constantly on edge or under assault, your lifestyle habits might suffer — and so might your immune system. Take steps to reduce stress — or learn to deal with stress in healthy ways.
A healthy lifestyle also might play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Women are more vulnerable than men to lung damage from inhaled smoke and pollutants. This puts women at increased risk of illness and even death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — which includes bronchitis and emphysema.
You can protect your respiratory health by not smoking and avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke. Try to minimize your exposure to chemicals and outdoor air pollution. Also, prevent respiratory infections by washing your hands often and getting a yearly flu vaccine. Ask your doctor whether you need a pneumonia vaccine as well.
Another common cause of death among women is motor vehicle accidents. To stay safe on the road, wear your seat belt. Follow the speed limit. Don't drive under the influence of alcohol or any other substances, and don't drive while sleepy.
Don't feel overwhelmed by women's health risks. Instead, do whatever you can to lead a healthy lifestyle. Simple preventive measures can go a long way toward reducing your risks.

For a photographer, every new day is a new challenge. Will it be a portrait, sports, fashion or something else completely? And no matter what that day brings, it must always end the same way – with a great shot. Dealing with these pressures takes experience, talent and speed. The sort of speed you’ll find in the Profoto D2 Studio Monolight , the world’s fastest monolight. You can shoot in super quick bursts, you can freeze action with absolute sharpness and sync with the fastest shutter speeds with HSS and TTL.
So, no matter what you’re shooting, you’ll deliver every time. Because with the Profoto D2, you’re always up to speed.
Follow a week in a photographer’s life at: profoto.com/d2
Freeze the moment
The D2 can provide super quick flash durations up to 1/63,000 of a second. Shoot a splash of water and it will be frozen in mid-air – a photographic work of art.
Catch the moment
The D2 can shoot up to 20 flashes per second. That’s fast enough to catch the best of any moment. Ask your subject to jump and you’ll have 20 mid-air exposures to choose from.
Control your surroundings
Profoto High-Speed Sync (HSS) enables you to shoot with shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 of a second. Use HSS to shoot with large aperture in bright conditions or to freeze action with absolute sharpness.
Shoot with ease using TTL
Point-and-shoot in TTL Mode. Switch to Manual Mode and control the light with intuitive buttons and menus. Forget about the flash and focus on the light.
Overpower any light
The D2 packs enough of punch to overpower the available light in almost any situation. Its power is also a blessing when shooting at larger distances or when using larger Light Shaping Tools.
Grow with speed
It has the speed to set you free, and the power for you to be at your best. It’s an integrated part of the extensive Profoto system. Go full speed ahead with the D2.
There are those amongst us who push the envelope. They say, “good is the enemy of great.” If there’s a limit – they step beyond it. If there’s a boundary – they cross it. For the great photographers, challenges are there to be conquered. And for them, speed is more than the ability to freeze a moment of action or matching the fastest camera shutter. It’s about setting creativity free. Moving fast, delivering fast, capturing the seemingly impossible – fast. Taking light, and shaping something remarkable with it. Setting the bar higher – and then doing it all over again. They redefine their craft every single day. And so do we. This is speed redefined.
• Available in 500 and 1000Ws, adjustable in 1/10 f-stops over a 10 f-stop power range.
• Bursts up to 20 flashes per second with flash durations up to 1/63,000 of a second.
• High Speed Sync up to 1/8,000s.

Now that the Major Gifts Challenge has officially come to an end, it’s time to think about the significance of year-end giving to your organization.
If you’re like most organizations, you might get 40% or more of your total fundraising revenue in the last few weeks of the year. That’s a HUGE deal.
So what are you going to do differently this year to raise more year-end dollars?
4 Things You Can Do TODAY
Here are four things you can do right now to help you bring in more money for your cause before the New Year.
1. Express gratitude.
After all, it’s Thanksgiving this week.
Print out a list of your top 100 donors and call them this week, just to say, “Thank you.” They will be shocked and thrilled. Let them know how much their past giving (whether this year or last year) has meant to your organization.
By the way, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave a message. Just say your name and the organization you’re calling from, and let them know you’re simply calling to thank them for being a generous supporter this past year. It’s that simple.
2. Send out your appeal letters.
Haven’t sent out your appeal letters yet? Yikes! It’s getting late. However, to get the best results, be sure to add personal notes to your top 100 donors.
If possible, match board members to donors they know so they can write personal notes. However, it’s getting late, so don’t allow these personal notes to hold up your appeal for too long.
3. Follow-up with LYBUNTS.
What the heck is a LYBUNT? A LYBUNT is a donor who made a gift Last Year But Not This Year.
Take some time today to schedule time during the last two weeks of December to call all people who have been donors in the past, but who haven’t made a donation yet this year. If there are too many to call, segment by giving amount and only call the top ones.
Also use this time to take note of whether you lost a lot of donors this year. If so, make a plan to get them back and increase your retention rates for next year.
4. Plan a year-end social media campaign.
Have you asked your supporters, friends, and followers to donate to your organization this holiday season?
Come up with a clever and creative way to do so, so friends will want to pass it along and encourage others to give. People share things that make them laugh or cry — not things that are a little funny or a little sad, so do whatever you can to pull out all the stops and evoke emotion to make your campaign go viral!
Something Else You Can Do Right Now
And this takes only a couple minutes of your time, so you have no excuse not to do it…
Read my post from last year, 6 Things You Can Do to Prepare for Year-End Giving. In it, you’ll find 6 more surefire tips to make the most out of year-end giving.
So, what are you going to do in December, the last four weeks of the year, to ensure your year-end totals are where you want them to be?
Take some time today to give that some thought. Don’t let it fall by the wayside.
A Special Acknowledgement
I want to take a little time to mention that my favorite holiday is this week — Thanksgiving. Be sure to check out the Gratitude issue of Pamela Grow’s Nonprofit Blog Carnival. She’s got some great tips for giving thanks to your donors and volunteers.

2014 has proven to be another stellar year for shareholders of online streaming powerhouse Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). The company's share performance has trounced the broad market indexes like the Nasdaq, as well as other rivals like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN).
With Netflix earnings due out on after market close today, ahead of Amazon.com's report later in the week, the ongoing streaming wars between Amazon.com and Netflix will undoubtedly garner plenty of attention.
Netflix earnings: Time to get excited?
There's plenty of reason to believe that Netflix earnings could hold more positive news for investors. Even as it has continued a torrid international expansion, Netflix has also been able to grow its profits to an impressive degree during the past several years.
The key here is that Netflix typically incurs substantial up-front costs whenever it enters a new market, which results in early negative contribution margins, a key internal metric that Netflix uses to monitor the financial health of its operations in a given market. And as those up-front costs decline, and Netflix adds subscribers in a given geographic region, the contribution margins in new markets can switch from negative to positive in relatively short order.
Recently, analysts have postulated that this very scenario, in key international markets like Latin America and Europe, could help give Netflix an underappreciated financial tailwind for its upcoming report. In the video below, tech and telecom specialist Andrew Tonner also discusses what investors need to watch for in the ongoing rivalry between Amazon.com and Netflix when the latter releases its earnings.
How you can cash in on tech's next massive growth market
By now, most tech investors have heard the rumors that Apple will launch its much-anticipated iWatch later this fall. However, some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Roboforming provides a thorough insight into the implementation of a novel manufacturing technique, Robotic Incremental Sheet Forming (RISF) to explore the extent to which local plastic deformations change the material behaviour of thin metal sheets to enhance its structural performance under specific loads.
The concept of incremental forming refers to a gradually localised plastic deformation to generate a 3D geometry form into a 2D metal sheet, directly from design data. The project develops a digital parametric workflow, which combines the different stages of digital fabrication – from design, analysis and toolpath algorithm to generate the required design data to the final manufacturing of the metal component, in order to provide the designer with full control over the fabrication process.
The computational logic proposes a materially informed production process where an initial finite element analysis informs the geometric design of the formed patterns in order to increase the structural integrity of the thin metal sheets. The interweaving of this innovative manufacturing technique with digital software is aimed for a mass-customided production of variable and bespoke metal components to realize the contemporary aesthetics, which are in search of complex free-form designs.

Great work JPR, great thread on the myth of the drilled/cast rotors. Disadvantage of the drilled rotors is that they also eat up your brake pads quicker. Go with slotted or a blank is my personal recommendation.

If you love to listen to weekly information on Grand Theft Auto V, then you most likely follow the so-called GTA 5 o’clock video series, which aims to offer more insight into GTA V each week.
The video series normally publishes around mid-week, and right on schedule we have the latest instalment for our readers. The video runs for over an hour and can be seen above this article.
Main points for this weeks GTA V o’clock – this week the CVG staff discuss some of the main features in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game, which includes details on GTA V weapons, map size and heist recruitment. Have a listen to the details in the above video, then let us know what you hope to experience with GTA V weapons and other features?
One of our favorite characters from GTA V is Michael, although we’d love to know yours and the reasons why? We have always been sold on GTA V thanks to the reputation Rockstar has, earned from outstanding titles, but what excites us the most is the GTA V map size that will be much bigger than any previous GTA game. Just Cause 2 might not of delivered the gameplay we’re used to with GTA, but the map size is impressive and we look forward to something much bigger with GTA V.
The last official update from Rockstar had only been a few days ago, which featured some new artwork landing on desktops and with avatars.

how old is kazuma kiryu in yakuza 7
Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami. His parents were murdered by the Dojima Family Captain and assassin Shintaro Kazama when he was a child; the remorseful Kazama opened an orphanage called Sunflower for all the kids whose parents he murdered, including Kiryu. , Across all these games, the development team developed a sturdy understanding of his personality, and there was a lot of effort put into making the character attractive to the audiences as a result of being the only playable character. Kiryu defeats Oda who aimed to kill Makoto Makimura, Tachibana's biological sister. Salivevski commented "Well, my nickname is now "The Dragon"... Whilst in Thailand, I had people coming up to me and taking photos, other cam round wondering what all the fuss was about thinking I am some kind of celebrity. In addition to Kiryu's story, the site also commented on how well developed were from clunky to more unique as latter games in the franchise included new characters with different fighting styles. I think the story overall is pretty strong and up until the end made a lot of sense and had a lot of strong story beats. Yakuza: Like a Dragon PlayStation 4™ – JAPAN . After leaving prison, Kiryu learns the crime world has changed and fights against the new threats in his life. Sega producer Toshihiro Nagoshi created Kiryu alongisde novelist Hase Seishū.

Tachibana Real Estate (c. 1988)Four Shine Cabaret Club (2006)Sunshine Orphanage (founder)Hirose Family (associate). The same website listed him as a notorious anti-hero as he "walks a fine line between good and bad." They further noted that while being a "badass", he stands out thanks to his kindness. The Awakening Dragon Member of the Dojima Family, a Tojo Clan Subsidiary Age: 20 Voiced By: Takaya Kuroda. Yakuza 0 - 20 Yakuza 1/Kiwami - 27 -> 37 Yakuza 2 - 38 Yakuza 3 - 39 -> 40 Yakuza 4 - 41 Yakuza 5 - 44 Yakuza 6 - 48 I think this is right. Nishiki then suggested that they should gather information on Tachibana. Despite not being official members of the Kazama Family, Kiryu and Nishiki were accepted there and formed close bond with Kazama's right-hand man, Osamu Kashiwagi. In Yakuza 0, Kiryu shares his role as a protagonist and playable character with Majima, who was previously unplayable in mainline entries of the series. Besides the two Yakuza live-action films, the character has also appeared in other video game including Project X Zone 2 and as downloadable content in Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Kuze commended Kiryu for his skill and prowess, and challenged the younger man to a fight. Nishikiyama then kills himself with Jingu. Confronted by the possibility of Kazama getting expelled and humiliated, Kiryu decided to take full responsibility for the murder. Yakuza fans nearly rioted a year ago when Tekken 7's Season Pass 2 added The Walking Dead's Negan instead of Kazuma Kiryu.The game hasn't added any DLC characters since, and there's a good chance that won't change going forward. Soon after he meets a young girl called Haruka, whom seemingly every criminal group in the country is after. Kiryu turned down the offer and left, knowing he made an enemy out of Kuze. This is the unofficial subreddit for Sega's long-running game series, Yakuza … The two also befriended Yumi Sawamura, a younger girl who would become a source of affections for both boys, although Yumi only reciprocated Kiryu's feelings.

Upon returning to Kamurocho, Kiryu meets up with Tachibana and prepares to take him to see Makoto. Ryuji, through working with the Jingweon mafia, attempts to destroy Kamurocho and Kiryu to be the only dragon in Japan. so kazuma's age is different in Y1 and Kiwami 1? Plus I think Yakuza‘s Kazuma Kiryu character interactions with some of the main cast of Tekken would be rather funny. Kazuhiko Serizawa, an Osakan detective with the Organized Crimes Unit, warns Kiryu that he needs to meet with Omi Alliance Lieutenant Masaru Watase to prevent the war. During the events of the zombie spinoff Yakuza: Dead Souls, he returns to Kamurocho after Haruka is kidnapped by a mysterious man.

Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku have revealed that long time Yakuza protagnist Kazuma Kiryu will in fact appear in the upcoming latest entry in the series Yakuza… Kiryu refused to back down, and Nishiki drove him to the Dojima headquarters. Sega described Kiryu as a "straight man trait – tough but honorable and keeps to himself a bit" implying there are not too many difficulties in writing him. Taking his leave, Kiryu met up with Nishiki. The trio questioned and accused Kiryu of a civilian murder, although Kiryu insisted he had no hand in the homicide, and rebuffed their claims that he used a gun and dumped the body. Furthermore, Nagoshi said this difference is shown across the series. At Dojima's office, Kiryu met Kuze, whom he enraged with his blunt and rude attitude while asking for Sohei Dojima himself. During the events that follow Yasuko is shot and kills Katsuragi before dying herself. Kazuma Kiryu is a returning character from the previous games to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, so it's no surprise that he is one of the final bosses.While the game creator isn't fond of having Kiryu return in a fighting game, this is one of the few exceptions to the rule. In Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin!, Kiryu's avatar is once again used by a samurai, Sakamoto Ryōma. They further noted that while being a "badass", he stands out thanks to his kindness. Date gives him information on the three most likely suspects for Kashiwagi's death: Yoshitaka Mine, a white collar yakuza, Goh Hamazaki, a patriarch with ties to the triads, and Tsuyoshi Kanda, who has taken over the gang once controlled by Kiryu's sworn brother, Nishikiyama. Kiryu went to the Namase Bar located in the building, where he learnt about the company's aggressive takeover tactics agains the Dojima Family. With these changes comes a brand new cast of characters, following in the footsteps of the legendary Kazuma Kiryu. Of course there are exceptions, but fighting games generally have female characters, and personally I don’t really want to see Kiryu beating up women. Kiryu also uses such razor during a scene from Of the End. At the Dojima HQ's gate, Kiryu bid Nishiki farewell. However, chief Masayoshi Yokoyama stated the character would mature across the storyline. However, the installment Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was meant to conclude Kiryu's role in the franchise.

Major escape for green £
DESPITE a fall in the value of sterling this week in the wake of prime minister John Majors political difficulties, UK green rates have been unaffected.
As such, area aid and set-aside payments for 1995/96 can now be calculated, using the conversion rate of about £0.84 = 1ecu, as applies on July 1.
For English cereal growers, this puts area aid at £269.16/ha (£108.93/acre) – some £76/ha (£31/acre) more than last year, reflecting the 10 green £ devaluations since July 1, 1994, and extra compensation for the 7% cut in intervention prices under CAP reform. Set-aside is put at £340.94/ha (£137.98/acre).
"There still remains a risk that base area will be exceeded in England and Scotland non-LFA, but yet again the French may come to the rescue," says Jim Ward of Savills Agricultural Research. "Their proposal to exclude voluntary set-aside from the cropped area could save English and Scottish farmers from reduced 1995 area payments."
Arable payments and support prices 1995
Scotland non-LFA **
CEREAL INTERVENTION PRICE
Nov £101.33/t (plus £1.09 a month).
£0.840997 = 1 ecu.
*Assumes oilseeds face a 5% aid penalty for overshooting reference price.
**Assumes Scotland faces 0.75% set-aside penalty and 1% area aid penalty.

I love bread and butter pudding, whether in it’s most traditional form or modernised with trendy ingredients like Brioche or sour cherries. My go-to recipes are Nigella Lawson’s Caramel Crossaint Pudding or Gizzi Erskine’s Bailey’s Chocolate Croissant Butter Pudding from Gizzi’s Kitchen Magic. Both recipes feel rather extravagant, but you can never have too much of a great thing, right?! And it was that sort of thinking that led me to combining the flavourings, so my latest effort contains Bailey’s, caramel and white chocolate the chunks.
Indulgent Croissant Pudding (serves 4)
100g caster sugar
25g white chocolate, cut into small chunks
250ml milk (or double cream if you’re feeling super extravagant)
3 eggs, beaten
50ml Baileys liqueur
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and swirl them together. Heat over a medium heat without stirring. After 3 minutes or so of bubbling away it will darken to a golden colour.
3. While it’s bubbling away, tear the croissants up and put them in a small ovenproof dish with the chocolate chunks.
4. Whisk the milk into the caramel; be very careful as the mixture will bubble up. Add the eggs and the Baileys and whisk well to combine.
5. Pour the custard mixture over the croissants and make sure it covers it well, turning the pieces if necessary. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak up the custard.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. It is, of course, traditional to serve with more custard.

Shell reduces its interest in Woodside
Royal Dutch Shell plc ("Shell") announces an agreement to sell part of its stake in Woodside Petroleum Limited ("Woodside") to equity investors.
Shell's subsidiary, Shell Energy Holdings Australia Limited ("SEHAL"), has entered into an underwriting agreement with UBS AG, for the sale of 78.34 million shares in Woodside, representing 29.18% of its interest in Woodside and 10.0% of the issued capital in Woodside at a price of A$42.23 per share. Upon completion of the sale, SEHAL will continue to own a 24.27% interest in Woodside. As part of this transaction, SEHAL has committed to retain its remaining shares in Woodside for a minimum of one year, with limited exceptions, including a sale to a strategic third party of an interest greater than 3% in Woodside provided the purchaser agrees to be bound by the same escrow restrictions to which SEHAL is subject or in pursuit of an acceptance to a bona fide takeover offer for Woodside.
Shell CEO, Peter Voser, said "Shell is an industry leader in global LNG, and will be a leading investor in Australia for years to come. Our Australian LNG portfolio has developed rapidly in recent years, with exploration success around Gorgon and Prelude, and our entry into coal bed methane plays through the joint acquisition of Arrow Energy. This is a strong platform for new growth."
Voser continued "Our stake in Woodside has been an important part of Shell's portfolio in Australia for many years. We are looking forward to working with Woodside on important new growth projects where we are partners. However, with Shell's recent portfolio progress in Australia, our world-wide push to simplify the company and to improve our capital efficiency, we will increasingly focus our investment in Australia through direct interests in assets and joint ventures, rather than indirect stakes. We will manage our remaining position in Woodside over time in the context of our global portfolio."
Shell Australia's Country Chair, Ann Pickard, concluded "these are exciting times for the LNG industry in Australia, and for Shell. We are unlocking new LNG supplies from our portfolio, and working closely with Woodside on further growth projects where we will remain with them as a partner. Shell's directly-owned Australia LNG capacity is around 2.7 mtpa today, and is forecast to more than double to some 6.5 mtpa by 2015, as Gorgon comes on line. Looking beyond 2015, we see significant further growth potential from pre-FID options. Our directly-owned assets in Australia could add a further 10 mpta for Shell beyond 2015 towards a total of 16 mtpa. Shell will be a major player in Australia for years to come, and all of this will help to further consolidate Australia's position as a leader in energy and resource supply for the Asia Pacific region."
Notes for editors Shell had 18.5 mpta (million tonnes per annum) of world-wide LNG capacity at end-2009, with interests in seven LNG plants, including 0.93 mtpa held through its indirect stake in Woodside. Shell's world-wide LNG capacity, excluding Woodside, is forecast to reach some 22 mtpa in 2015, an increase of around 20% from today's levels, underpinned by growth at Qatargas 4 in Qatar and Gorgon in Australia.
Shell's most recent LNG start-up was at Sakhalin II in Russia, and this 9.6 mtpa project, where Shell has a 27.5% stake, ramped up to full capacity ahead of schedule in early 2010. The Sakhalin project, combined with performance from other LNG facilities world-wide, underpinned over 30% higher LNG sales volumes for Shell in the first three quarters of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
Looking into 2011, Shell's LNG capacity is expected to increase again, with the start-up of the Qatargas 4 LNG project, which has 7.8 mtpa of capacity (Shell 30%). Qatargas 4 will be Shell's eighth LNG plant, and further adds to Shell's industry-leading portfolio.
Australia is set to underpin Shell's next tranche of LNG growth, aimed at growth markets in Asia Pacific. In September 2009, Shell and its partners took the final investment decision (FID) on the 15 mtpa Gorgon LNG project, where Shell has a 25% interest. Successful start-up of Gorgon will take Shell's directly owned LNG capacity in Australia from 2.7 mpta today to some 6.5 mtpa.
Looking beyond 2015, Shell has launched front end engineering and design (FEED) for the 100%-owned Prelude and Concerto discoveries, that could support a 3.6 mpta floating LNG project, and we anticipate reaching FID on that project in 2011. Shell's joint acquisition of Arrow Energy Ltd with PetroChina in 2010 opens up the prospect of a 6-7 mtpa LNG scheme from coal bed methane resources. Shell has further stakes in non-operated projects with LNG potential, including Sunrise (26.5%) and Browse (~9.5%), operated by Woodside. In total, these pre-FID options could add up to a further 10 mtpa of new capacity for Shell in Australia, leading to a total capacity of over 16 mtpa. Shell also continues with an active and successful exploration campaign which is adding further options for future development.

Conversion tracking is a powerful tool that will allow you to gain insights in to your user behaviour throughout the booking process. There are three actions a user can take that trigger an "event" -- a record of that action which you can track. Think of these events as a funnel: as your customers go through the booking process, some of them will continue on to the confirmation page and book a teetime, where others will leave.
By comparing these ratios, as well as the other information provided via your conversion tracking software, you can get a better picture of how users behave while booking online at your club.
This is the top of your funnel: the widest part, where you will have the most users. This event is triggered under two circumstances: when a user opens up the booking widget on your website, or by visiting your club's profile on the Lightspeed website.
You will receive a separate event notification when the user creates a booking, and lands on the confirmation page. This is the middle of the funnel: it's slightly narrower, since not every user who opens the widget will confirm a reservation.
Once a user confirms their reservation, a separate event will be triggered. This will let you know that a booking has been confirmed. This is the bottom of the funnel, where a user is converted into a customer. Out of all the visitors to your website or your club's Chronogolf by Lightspeed marketplace, only a percentage will make it to this stage. Knowing that percentage will allow you to easily track whether marketing campaigns, discounts etc. Are effective, by comparing your conversion before, and after.
If a user confirms a booking at your club as an online deal, this will trigger an additional event to the standard booking confirmation one. This will allow you to track wether deals prove to be more popular than regular reservations, and by how much.
Setting up Facebook Pixel
In order to set up a Facebook Pixel with Lightspeed, go to the Facebook Pixel page here. Once you have set up a pixel, copy the Pixel ID. Navigate to your club's Lightspeed Golf admin site, then open up the settings page and click on "Conversion Tracking". You can then paste the Pixel ID in the field provided.
Setting up Google Analytics
In oder to use Google Analytics on your website, you will first need to set up a Google Analytics account, which can be done here. Next, log in, and click on the gear symbol in the sidebar marked "admin". Click on "create property", then enter in your course's info.
You will then be able to get a Analytics tracking ID, which can be pasted into the "Conversion Tracking" field, under settings on your Lightspeed Golf Admin page.
This will allow you to easily track your users' behaviour through Google Analytics.

Truth Unveiled! Actor Jay Pharoah Talks about His SNL Exit! His Dating and Married History
With four decades on air and 42nd season successfully running, Saturday Night Live has become one of the most loved and watched shows in American television history. SNL has not only entertained viewers but also help built career of a lot of artists, comedians and writers including Andy Samberg, Maya Rudolph, Tracy Morgan, Donald Glover and Jay Pharoah, just to name a few.
Sadly, we won’t be able to enjoy the witty impressions anymore, as earlier this year it was announced that Jay Pharoah and fellow cast member Taran Killam would not appear on the 42nd season of the show.
Shocking as it is, it wasn’t by choice that the two of them, who were both signed at the same time in 2010, were leaving. In fact, the producers never renewed their contracts.
While Killam went straight in an interview and revealed that it was not his choice, Pharoah played it safe saying that transitions happen all the time on shows.
““I’m not coming back to S.N.L. Transitions on shows happen all the time, but I won’t be back.”
For the last six seasons, Jay Pharoah has been able to make people laugh with his comic timings and his seemingly effortless impersonations of different celebrities including President Barack Obama. Rolling Stone even crowned him the “Jimmy Fallon of 2 Chainz impressions”.
The fact remains that we all loved seeing all these great actors and comedians tearing it up on stage, And when Jay Pharoah made his debut in the 36th season, with spot-on impersonations of Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Jay-Z, and Denzel Washington, he immediately won the hearts of thousands.
Now that he is out of the show, and with a splendid net worth of $3 million, has been busy with other projects, including commercial for Old Navy, hosting American Music Awards 2016 and a new Showtime comedy series White Famous.
Dating and Marriage History:
Comedian Jay Pharoah was pictured with the beautiful Kat Graham at the SNL after party which speculated them to be dating kicking Jay's gay rumors away.

But recently we have come to know that he is single and considers his career to be his girlfriend as he tweets that he cherishes his girlfriend.
Jay Pharoah has undoubtedly made it clear that in this phase of life, he just wants to focus on his career and has publically taken his career as his girlfriend. Jay Pharoah has recently has done voice jobs in Sing, Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and has The Adventures of Drunky in post-production for 2017. Apart from that he can be seen in Legends of Chamberlain Heights and has White Famous, a TV movie for pre-production in 2017.

Hello Everyone (who reads this blog)
This weeks message might be short and sweet! The thing is so much happens in a week and my time is limited to share. Therefore, only the major things that come to my mind will be included.
This week has been an interesting one for sure. I've been hitting some road blocks and really reflecting on why I am out here. It's funny with missions because there are so many ups and downs! The mission makes me feel somewhat bipolar to be honest haha. But it's cool because when you're being worn out you are able to rely on the Lord to help you find the strength and motivation from deep inside to press forward.
I expressed my frustrations to my companion and as we talked it helped me work through my difficulties. I am thankful the Lord lets us work in companionships to learn and grow. The main thing I've noticed from this week is that these challenging times are really stretching me for the better. I feel like someone in a very mild version of a renisanse (sp?) stretching/pulling torture machine! haha A mission is quite the strain on your physical body and your mental capacity! Each day stretching you a little bit more and more! But the difference between the torture device and a mission is that at the end you aren't a tattered dead person. You are a polish/defined human being who has willingly took upon themselves a challenge to become the very best they can be through our Savior Jesus Christ.
Monday we had Zone Training which was very inspiring/uplifting! It was all about Love and how that was the most important thing we could do for the people of NY. I thought about the attributes I came out to the mission field with. I know I am here in NY because I love people. Although I'm not perfect at it or the way I teach the doctrine I genuinely love the people. I know Heavenly Father will help me improve and grow.
My time is short because I am on a public computer right now at the library in Manhattan! So I will include two more thoughts before I run out of time.
The first being that I just went to a session at the Manhattan Temple! It was awesome! I love the Manhattan temple because the interior design is gorgeous and they have some gorgeous murals painted on the walls and pictures hung that captivated me =) Not to mention I love going to the temple and reflecting in the peace and quite. And trust me, in NY city you appreciate that silence!
The other thing I wanted to share in my last 15 minutes is about church on Sunday. During the sacrament meeting I was thinking about how I wanted the lord to help me become my best self. In my mind I wanted him to tell me when big way I needed to improve. As I sat there I had this analogy develop in my mind. It was that of a rock. It begins jagged and rough. That rock is us as humans. The rock is submerged into the stream of water. The flowing water is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we submerge ourselves in the Gospel of Jesus Christ gradually we are refined! We become polished and smooth. However, we must remember it is a gradual process. The Lord is not going to chip of a chunk of our rough edges because he know that will hurt us or we will get offended. Yet as we embrace the basics of the Gospel we can transform our lives to become our best selves. Furthermore, if we take the rock out of the routine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ we hault if not stop our refining process entirely. The world of day to day morality is not going to help us become better/smooth. If anything it will add to our sharp edges. However, even if we have taken ourselves out, someone else took us out, or we were never in to begin with, the living water of Jesus Christ is always available to ALL of us. At anytime and any place. The sooner we emerge ourselves, the sooner we allow the Savior's hand back in our lives to sooth our pain, to polish ourselves, and to continually become the beautiful stone we have the potential to become!
I love you all very much! I appreciate your support. Each week when I go to church to take the sacrament, read my scriptures, pray, serve, and love I am going to keep in mind the polished stone I want to become. I encourage and invite you to do the same. Give the Gospel of Jesus Christ a fair chance and I promise you you will feel the blessings and love pour out from Heaven that I can't even begin to explain!
I am thankful to be called as a full time missionary regardless of the daily ups and downs. I can cope with them because of my Savior and because I know this is his work. He went through so much agony and pain for me. If I am going to represent him I need to be willing to do the same (obviously not on the same scale) ;)
Peace and Blessings! Peace and Blessin's!
Sister Emily Johnson

Yesterday, Barack Hussein Obama held another rare news conference. It was notable, not only because of the stunning failure by the assembled seekers of truth to ask a single question about the disastrous Obamacare rollout, but because he took the opportunity to say the following about his current battle with Speaker John Boehner:
And because it’s called raising the debt ceiling, I think a lot of Americans think it’s raising our debt. It is not raising our debt. This does not add a dime to our debt. It simply says you pay for what Congress has already authorized America to purchase, whether that’s the greatest military in the world or veterans’ benefits or Social Security. Whatever it is that Congress has already authorized, what this does is make sure that we can pay those bills.
I don’t want to be harsh. How can I can I say what I’m about to say without offending anyone …? How about “There is a very credible argument that the statement that ‘[t]his doesn’t add a dime to our debt’ is not exactly accurate”…No, that’s not really what I mean to say. Let me try again. I think the following should do the trick: When he makes that statement, Barack Obama is lying through his braying, jackass teeth, depending on the fact that most of his ignorant supporters couldn’t balance their checking accounts at gunpoint. Heck, most of them even have a hard time remembering how many dollars are left on their EBT cards at the end of the month. I’ll speak slowly in case any of them have wandered over here.
The federal debt limit, or debt ceiling, if you prefer, is a limit on the amount the federal government can borrow. If it is not increased, all that means is that the government can only spend as much as they have coming in. You may be familiar with this “spend only what you have coming in” concept in your own personal life, although I concede that most of your aren’t suffering from the East Coast Brain Rot ™ that afflicts not only most Democrats in Washington, but also establishment Republicans and many “conservative” pundits. The debt ceiling means that the federal government must – I hope you’re sitting down – balance its budget! Oh the humanity!
But wait, you may be thinking, what about the horrors of “default” that Barack Obama solemnly warns about? Won’t it bring flood, famine, pestilence, death of the first born and the end of civilization as we know it? If not that, won’t it at least mean that we can’t “pay our bills,” as in spending Congress has already “authorized?”
No. For the fiscal year that started October 1, 2013 and ends September 30, 2014, the federal government will collect nearly $3 trillion. Interest on the debt is approximately 10% of that or $240 billion. (You can find the numbers here.)
Veterans’ benefits cost $140 billion at current levels, so there’s enough to make these payments.
What about Social Security? It pains me to remind you that Barack Obama has continued in the proud tradition of Democrats since time immemorial of scaring senior citizens for political advantage. Back in 2011, he, shall we say, dissembled in an interview with CBS’ Scott Pelley, saying that if the debt ceiling issue weren’t resolved, there might not be enough money in government coffers to send out Social Security checks.
But as one time Teri O’Brien Show guest Prof. Thomas Saving notes in this must-read piece, that’s also not true. Noting that Barack Obama is forgetting about the Social Security Trust Fund, which is by no means a “lockbox,” and does not stop the federal government from spending surpluses in the amount collected by the payroll tax, but does hold promises by the federal government to repay any money borrowed from these surpluses, he writes:
By law the Treasury is bound to redeem any bonds presented to it by the Social Security Administration. And when the Treasury does, total government debt subject to the debt limit falls by the amount of the redemption —thus freeing up the Treasury’s ability to issue new bonds equal in amount to the redeemed Trust Fund bonds.
Therefore, meeting Social Security obligations in August, September and all future months in this fashion would add nothing to the gross government debt subject to the debt limit. Not, at least, until the $2.4 trillion Trust Fund is exhausted in 2038.
Unless Barack Obama decides to spend that money on something else, the Social Security checks go out.
So, what are those essential bills that we need to pay? In 2012, the Washington Times reported that since Barack Obama took office, federal welfare spending grew by 32%! Look no further than the explosion in the number of people on food stamps since 2008, and you can see that there is room for some adjustment in spending, unless of course you are determined to create dependency and expand the size of the government, all the while telling us that the economic recovery is humming along.
To summarize, here’s what the current fight over the current “government shutdown,” which is actually a shutdown of approximately 17% of the federal government, and the larger looming fight about increasing the debt ceiling, is really about: confiscating more of the earned wealth of the producers’ in this country and using it to buy other people’s votes by throwing it down every “social welfare” and crony capitalist rathole that Barack Obama and the Democrats can find to feather their political nests. More spending, more debt, more taxes, and an ever-larger federal government. Raising the debt ceiling allows the federal government to continue spending more money than it takes in. Here’s what it’s not about: not “paying our bills,” depriving Granny of her Social Security check, or keeping veterans from getting their well-deserved benefits. Anyone who tells you otherwise just might be – dare I say it? – lying.

DH bought me the Boye Needle Master set for x-mas and I have been happily using it since. However, last night when I pulled out my project from my bag that was being knitted on the size 7 needlepoints attached to the 21" cable, I found that one of the needlepoints & metal portion of the connector had snapped off the plastic/nylon connector portion. I can see that the metal screw end of the connector was still inside the plastic/nylon receiver end.
I can understand other parts failing due to fatigue (eg the plastic/nylon cable), but I don't understand the metal failing in such a short time. I live in a moderate climate and so we don't have any extreme temperature changes in the weather and my children are young, under 6, so I don't see how they could be strong enough or heavy enough to break it. Well, I suppose my older punk could jump up & down on it repeatedly for a long time, but it's highly unlikely she would want to and I would've known too. The other one's a baby and prefers to gum on the yarn itself.
I know I can order a replacement 21" cable for $3.50 a pop, but I e-mailed the company on small chance (better than a snowball's in hell maybe?) that they may actually offer a free replacement 'cause I don't see why it should break that way, well at least relatively soon after getting it & using it. So we'll see.
On the bright side, I finished the DB Molly Bolero! I'm probably odd as I enjoyed seaming it closed so much more than picking up the 214 stitches for the front ribbed edging, probably because there are a few holes in certain locations when I picked up the stitches. And since I knitted to a tighter gauge, it fits dd1 perfectly and I've got 2 skeins leftover which I'll probably knit into a hat like this one cept I may not have enough for the cute ear flaps:
So, on the what's up next list are:
1) Ozark Handspun scarf 'cause it should be a fast knit
2) the already started Haiku in Knitpicks Shine Worsted in Bachelor Button which I had to switch cables on
3) knitty Kyoto - finished the swatch, but now I need to wash it & re-measure my gauge as I've read online that Butterfly Super 10 & Tahki Cotton Classic have a tendency to "bloom." Kyoto is one project I would rather not knit too big.
