ICANN has confirmed that it will hold a technical summit to discuss the forthcoming Trademark Clearinghouse in Brussels less than two weeks from now.
The two-day meeting will be held at the offices of Deloitte, which along with IBM has been contracted as the TMCH provider, from August 20 to 21.
As you might expect by now from the new gTLD program, the summit’s organization wasn’t particularly timely or well-communicated, leaving parts of the community fuming.
The meeting was demanded by registries and registrars at the Prague meeting in June — they want a chance for their technical guys to get into the nitty-gritty of the TMCH implmentation.
But confirmation that it’s actually going ahead only arrived in the last couple of days, leaving companies in the US and Asia-Pacific regions facing steep last-minute air fares or the less-ideal option of remote participation at ungodly hours.
I get the impression that the TMCH providers, which have been less than communicative with the registrars and registries they will soon be servicing, might be as much to blame as ICANN this time.
The TMCH is a repository for trademark data that new gTLD registries will be obliged to use in their sunrise and immediate post-launch periods.
While the policy argument has ostensibly been settled, many technical details that still need to be ironed out could have huge implications.
For example, if the registration process flow requires live queries to the TMCH, downtime could be devastating for registries if, as is expected, several gTLDs wind up launching simultaneously.
And if the TMCH protocols prove to be too complex and costly for registrars to implement, many may not bother, potentially leading to a bunch of damp squib gTLD launches.
So it’s important stuff. DI may even be in attendance, hotel prices and/or Belgian vagrancy laws permitting.

of dietary change would be greatest in developed countries.
benefits of the avoided damages from climate change.
Dr. David Katz has a nice blog piece about the article here. It’s worth a read. Dr. Katz also refers to a Time magazine article here that also discusses the same topic and this New York Times Op-Ed piece about the overblown risk of terrorism compared to the very real risk of climate change and why we are willing to pay exorbitantly to mitigate the low risk problem and are unwilling to pay anything to mitigate the catastrophic risk. Good stuff.
So what more is there to say? Eat your grains, veggies, and fruits. Start figuring out how to make meat a once a week treat rather than the centerpiece of every meal. It will not only make the planet livable for your kids, it might even make you healthier!

Karl studies the intersection of biofabrication, additive manufacturing, and nonwoven textiles. Our group's work in biofabrication focuses on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. I use the principles of additive manufacturing to create new products that provide optimized characteristics for helping the human body regrow functional tissues. My current research takes that perspective to the production of nonwoven textiles. Nonwovens are produced by entangling fibers in other ways than weaving: mechanically, chemically, or thermally. My research goal is to develop new nonwoven textile products for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine therapies and improve the clinical outcomes of their recipients.

Oct. 04--Hyatt Hotels has reached a contract agreement with employees who have been on strike for nearly a month, the last major lodging group to resolve a labor dispute that at its peak caused a broad work stoppage at more than two dozen downtown Chicago hotels.
Hyatt Regency Chicago, Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and Park Hyatt Chicago reached a new five-year collective bargaining agreement Thursday morning with UNITE HERE Local 1, Chicago-based Hyatt announced. The union confirmed that workers had ratified the contract.
The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza and the Warwick Allerton also reached contract agreements with their striking employees Thursday, the union said. Workers remain on strike at four hotels.
"Under the new collective bargaining agreement, Hyatt continues to offer our colleagues competitive wages and benefits, including comprehensive health care coverage with enhanced benefits, eligible winter month coverage and no premium increases," Michael D'Angelo, Hyatt's vice president of labor relations for the Americas, said in a statement.
The resolution comes days after Hyatt announced that it was seeking federal mediation in the contract negotiations because the union, it said, was being "uncooperative." On Monday, hundreds of strikers marched outside the Hyatt Regency, banging metal pots and pans, buckets, cymbals and drums.
"After four weeks on strike, I'm proud to have a contract that guarantees healthcare in the wintertime," Demetrius Jackson, who works in convention services at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, said in a statement provided by the union. "The workers of the hotels still on strike deserve the same."
Thousands of housekeepers, doormen, cooks and other hotel workers went on strike Sept. 7 to demand year-round health insurance for employees who get temporarily laid off during the slow winter months. Other demands included higher wages for tipped workers and reduced workloads for housekeepers.
The strike affected 26 hotels at its peak, but it started to move toward a resolution after two weeks when Marriott International reached a contract agreement with workers at its six affected hotels. Hilton Hotels and Resorts, which had four affected hotels, followed a week later. This week, employees at the Wyndham Grand and the Ambassador Chicago also ended their strike after ratifying contracts.
The union called the strike after contracts expired for about 6,000 hotel workers. The new contract agreements thus far, covering 5,500 workers, include wintertime health coverage, according to the union.
The four hotels where workers remained on strike Thursday afternoon are Cambria Magnificent Mile, the Crowne Plaza Hotel Chicago-Metro, the Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Magnificent Mile and the Kinzie Hotel.

Education: I received my Bachelors in English Literature from Northwestern University, but have also studied acting at the National Shakespeare Conservatory in NYC and Improv from both Second City and ImprovOlympic in Chicago.
Favorite Credits: From 1999-2003, I founded and ran a classical theatre company called Stage First Cincinnati. We produced 23 shows in the black box theatre at the Aronoff Center for the Arts. I have never worked harder in my life – or had a better time. In 2006, my play The Antic in Romantic was a finalist for the Kaufman and Hart Prize for New American Comedy, and in 2012, my self-produced film "Revel’s Rivals" won the Best Animated Feature award at the Louisville International Festival of Film.
Why theater?: I think the true magic of theater is actually something most contemporary work misses because its reliance on naturalism: and that is the power of language (and occasionally the scenic image) to ignite the audience’s imagination. It is the power of suggestion. In improv, they teach you that if you say to an audience, “we are here in Tahiti,” they accept that you are, for the purpose of this entertainment, in Tahiti. And that acceptance generates a great deal of fun and participation. In cinema, however, you are required to be filming in a tropical location that is either Tahiti or someplace very much like it. For me, the heavy weight of realism is too great a burden for something as light as art to bear.
What inspired you to write Delirium's Daughters: I am going to deflect the question a little (well, maybe a lot) – because the inspiration for this individual play is part of a larger process, a way of working, that while I hesitate to say it is unique to me, is still different from what I see in many other contemporary writers, whether working for the stage or page. I think that many writers, when they come upon an event in real life, whether it be a large public event from the news or something personal, are taken with a desire to present that event in very much the way it took place – making only what changes are needed to keep the narrative interesting. My first impulse is to ask “why is this interesting?” – and look more into the dynamic inside it. I think everything that resonates with us – especially those situations that happen outside the circle of our own personal lives – has the energy of a myth beneath it. Once I have identified what I think that iconic relationship or behavior is – and how it plays out, that’s when I start build the story. My own personal tagline is: Mirth and Myth. The art and act of comedy is more essential – and more philosophical and poetic than we give it credit. Of course, so much of today’s comedy is really our shallow pop culture making fun of how shallow it is – we live in a day of easy parody and satire. But there is a great well of comedy that’s to be found beneath that surface. Serious drama assumes that we are all suffering and that we have to face our suffering with the hope to understand and accept. My view – which is a comic’s view – is that we are all a little crazy and a little broken, and while there is always some conflict that comes with that, once you step outside your own little circle – there is a great deal of humor, understanding and joy. That’s what I want to put on stage.
Three sisters – each of differing temperaments and personalities – have been proposed to on the same day by four gentlemen. The youngest daughter, Celia, is being courted by two fellows. One is a proud egotist, and the other, the town rascal, whose name is Giovio. The father, Senor Di Lirio, says the marriages may proceed if his wife approves – which proves to be problematic since she passed away three years earlier, and the old man, in his grief, still believes she is alive. The progress of the play follows Giovio’s well-intentioned and ridiculous tricks to bring the father to see the truth – and to pave the way for the marriages to take place. One of the dynamics of the play that still intrigues me is that the nature of the antagonist is inverted. Usually, the antagonist is the bad guy, the bringer of damage and danger that earns the disapproval of the audience. But that role here is played by the father, who becomes quite quickly the most sympathetic character of the story. A case could also be made that Giovio is the antagonist, and that Di Lirio is our hero, even in his madness. But there too, the adversary turns out to be well-liked by the audience. The point here remains that there is no bad guy, just two men fighting for the women they love – on either side of life and death – and generating a lot of laughter (and few tears) along the way.
On the one side, I am very much a classicist – Shakespeare, Moliere, Shaw, Wilde. Great language, great characters and great dramatic architecture. Interestingly, Shakespeare works with a primarily a historical perspective – even his comedies and tragedies are based on stories that were about century old at the time of his writing them. That’s something you see in the Greek tragedians as well. The other three were great mockers of the manners of their day – but the humor always drives down to a human impulse or observation that is always current. On the other side, I’ve always been a big fan of the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin. You can add Monty Python to that list – and you will see that influence at work in the second act of Delirium’s Daughters. That being said – I don’t think there’s anything funnier or better constructed than John Cleese’ work in "Fawlty Towers".
If you could work with anyone you’ve yet to work with, who would it be?: Well, I just mentioned John Cleese, but you could add a host of other Brits to that list: Ian Holm, Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellan. All older and male, I know. To balance that out, Emily Blunt and Helena Bonham Carter.
What show have you recommended to your friends?: I did not see this live, but at one of those FathomEvent broadcasts that play in the megaplex: The Stratford Festival’s production of King John. It’s certainly not one of Shakespeare’s strongest – he had yet to develop that deep command of language and dramatic plot that frame everything later – but it was so cleanly done. Seana McKenna was amazing as Constance – add her to my list above.
Who would play you in a movie about yourself and what would it be called?: I’ll have to deflect here again, because I am not a fan of plays about putting on plays, or movies about movie making, novels about novelists – that sort of thing. There’s so much content in everyday life to pull from that it seems lazy to look no further than your own industry for material. Hamlet, of course, gets a pass on this – as does "Singing in the Rain".
If you could go back in time and see any play or musical you missed, what would it be?: First production of Henry V at the Globe. Muse of fire, indeed.
What’s your biggest guilty pleasure?: Guilty being the operative word here – pinball and old school funk.
If you weren’t working in theater, you would be _____?: Now that’s really a trick question because most people in theatre do other work, and I’m no exception. But to fill in the blank: If I weren’t working in theater, I would be a much more boring version of myself. Not that others don’t find me boring already.
What’s up next?: Working on a script called His Immediate Majesty. Stay tuned.

People who suffer from arthritis are desperate to reduce the pain they are experiencing. Arthritis pain can be all-consuming and therefore has a negative impact both for the health and way of life of a person. The pain has proven to be a hindrance on the performance of the activities of daily living specifically.
Arthritis is the inflammation of bodily joints. This condition can be both acute and chronic in nature. The inflammation causes a characteristic stiffness, swelling and pain in the joints of the body. There are over a hundred types of arthritis. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
One way to reduce arthritis pain is through exercise. Exercise keeps the joints flexible and sturdy. It reduces inflammation and joint stiffening. Perform passive range of motion exercises. These types of exercises have been proven to lessen stiffness and inflammation. Movements must be smooth and gentle and be careful not to overdo it as it can aggravate the inflammation in the joints. If you force your joints, this may contribute to further inflammation, swelling and stiffness. Also, exercise increases muscle mass around the joints. It does not benefit people with arthritis alone. Exercise has an over-all positive benefit for the health and wellness of a person.
Another way of providing arthritis pain relief is through the proper intake of food and nutrients. Foods that are rich in anti-inflammatory properties like omega 3 fatty acids have been scientifically proven to reduce significantly the pain, swelling and inflammation in arthritis. Omega 3 fatty acids are found in oily fish, flax seed, walnuts, canola oil, and olive oil. It will do arthritic patients to stay away from foods rich in caffeine, tomatoes, eggplants, pepper, red meat, spices and sugar. These foods can worsen the inflammation.
It will also be advisable if arthritic people take necessary supplements to promote bone and cartilage growth. Vitamin D promotes muscle strength and lessens pain. Vitamin E, lessens swelling, joint pain and inflammation.
It will also be beneficial if people who are overweight start shedding those extra pounds. Remember that weighing extra exerts more pressure in the joints of the body. If you have arthritis, then the pain will worsen. For those who do not have arthritis, then it is very good if they start maintaining a healthy body weight appropriate for their stature.
Heat application is known to reduce arthritis pain. For the longest time, it has been used to reduce the swelling in the joints, tendons and ligaments. Heat promotes a smooth blood circulation in the body thus facilitating healthy circulation around the joints.
Medications are one of the major solutions for arthritic pain. If all efforts have been exhausted and yet the pain still persists, then analgesics or pain relievers with anti-inflammatory properties are prescribed by the doctors to ease the pain. A particular group of drugs known as NSAIDs or non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are usually prescribed as it acts to reduce prostaglandin production, which is ultimately responsible for pain reaction.
Employing a positive attitude has been widely known to reduce arthritis pain as well. Try not to focus so much on the pain and make use diversion activities.

Have you noticed how the sun sets each day, painting the sky red and purple before it drops behind the Albères? That moment, as the light sets the earth afire, Thomas Verny records in quick pastel sketches. His series of small pastels are the inspiration for large vinyl and acrylic canvases. Both are on display at the Musée d’art Moderne of Collioure in an exhibition called “Atelier 2010-2011”.
In the works, created during Verny’s residency in Collioure, he plays freely with the duality of sea and mountain. Working outdoors, he translates his impressions into spontaneous views. The medium of pastel lends itself to a deft treatment of detail. Here light is all.
In his land-and-sea-scapes, Verny often wraps the material world in shadow. Familiar sites become mysterious: a block of flats condensed into a series of noughts and crosses, a snowcapped summit screened by palm tree trunks like spiky bars from hell. Restrained touches of red or orange intensify the scene. With colour he creates sharp contrasts between foreground and background. Hillsides become green brushed velvet or army camouflage.
Verny applies his paint in quick and energetic brush strokes, like a man hurrying down from a day’s walk in the mountains before the light gives out. Forts, farmhouses and chateaux are silhouetted under an orange and pink sky. The overall impression is haunting. Now you see it, now you don’t – the light changes everything.
The Musée d’art Moderne of Collioure is showing the works of Thomas Verny until the 29 February 2012. Seize the opportunity!

Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) wears these black leather boots in this episode of Marvel’s Punisher.
I’d love to know what or where to buy the top that the dr (Floriana Lima) wears. It’s a white too with lace/crochet top. High collar buttoned. So beautiful. Episode 2 I think.
Would you happen to know where to find the blouse Karen Page wore on season 2, episode 11 of The Punisher?

The Brexit Betrayal march got stuck in a bit of bother yesterday after attempting to cross the River Tees on the Transporter Bridge before realising it is closed on a Sunday.
Protesters were forced to walk an extra five miles to get over the river at Newport Bridge, according to reports.
It was hoped that the iconic Tees Transporter Bridge would make for a picture-perfect background for the marchers, but it ended up providing a symbolic Brexit metaphor instead.
With parliament at loggerheads Britain’s departure from the EU is currently at a standstill with no end in sight.
By the time protesters reach parliament it is likely that an extension on the Withdrawal Agreement will have been agreed, potentially kicking Brexit into the long grass.
Typical lack of Brexiteer planning. At least they know now…..you must dot the i’s before your cross the Tees.

The Tri-State Chinese-American Chemical Society (CACS), together with the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the China Intellectual Property Society (CIPS), the Committee of Pharmaceutical Intellectual Property Rights Research of Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, and the Intellectual Property Office of Jiangsu Province, successfully held the 3rd International Pharma, Biotech & Chemical Intellectual Property Forum in China Medical City, Taizhou on May 24-27, 2012. The 3rd China IP Forum attracted an international audience of over 300. The organizing committee of the 3rd China IP Forum was co-chaired by Marinda Li Wu, President-Elect of American Chemical Society, and John D. Conway, Global Head of Innovative Healthcare Patent Support, Sanofi. The Forum received strong support from the local host, China Medical City and Taizhou Government, Jiangsu, China. The 3rd China IP Forum primarily focused on global IP protection, technology transfer and innovation commercialization. The Forum also featured a Patented Innovation Press Conference, which provided a unique platform for communication and exchange of intellectual property opportunities between Chinese and international pharmaceutical and chemical companies and institutions, as well as a day-long workshop co-organized by the 3rd China IP Forum and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
SIPO Deputy Commissioner Mr. GAN Shaoning presided over the opening ceremony on the first day. Mr. ZHANG Lei, the General Secretary of CPC, Taizhou, Dr. Marinda Li Wu, President-Elect of the American Chemical Society, Mr. DENG Maicun, Secretary General of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Mr. HE Quan, Deputy Governor of Jiangsu Province, gave opening remarks. Mr. TIAN Lipu, SIPO Commissioner, and Mr. David Kappos, Under Secretary of US Commerce and Director of USPTO, gave plenary keynote speeches at the opening session of the IP Forum. Mr. Tian presented an overview of the operations of China Patent System servicing innovation and promoting development within China. In his plenary keynote speech, Mr. Kappos focused on how the America Invents Act enhances global commerce. Following the opening plenary session, Judge Sharon Prost of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit presented a keynote on her view from the bench, talking about patent law taking center stage in the 21st century. Chief Justice KONG Xiangjun of the Intellectual Property Tribunal of the Supreme People’s Court of China spoke about “China IP Protection,” and Mr. Robert DeBerardine, the Vice President and Global Head of Patents of Sanofi, discussed “legal certainty and business investment” in his keynote speech. The morning sessions ended with the Press Conference on Patented Innovations where representatives from Sanofi, Cornell, Rutgers, and Stanford from the US, and Jiangsu Haohua Internet of Things Technology, Jiangsu Antae, and Jiangsu Mole Bioscience from China highlighted some of their patented technologies and sought opportunities for licensing and collaborations.
IP Executives from leading international pharmaceutical companies such as Sanofi, Amgen, and Bayer gave speeches at the IP Form. They emphasized the importance of IP protection in encouraging innovation and maintaining high rates of inventiveness in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. They also elaborated on the effect of government policies, such as the Hatch-Waxman Act, on innovative vs. generic drug companies. Different from other industries, the pharmaceutical and biotech industry provides new innovative medicines to cure diseases and improve lives. To develop these new medications, the industry needs to invest precious resources in protracted, risky, and expensive pharmaceutical research and development processes. A strong IP system is necessary to ensure that these investments will make a profit. Without adequate IP protection, there won’t be sufficient incentives to develop new innovative medicines.
Speakers at the 3rd China IP Forum also included IP experts from well-known law firms, such as Finnegan Henderson, Birtch Stewart Kolasch Birth LLC (BSKB), Hoffmann Eitle, Kim & Chang, Simmons & Simmons, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, Hogan Lovells, Ella Cheong Spruson & Ferguson, China Patent Agent (HK) Ltd., NTD Patent & Trademark Agency Ltd., Liu Shen & Associates, and CCPIT. They presented a variety of topics on patent prosecution and enforcement in several plenary sessions during the IP Forum. The first plenary session on “Inventions and Patent Strategies” included two sub-sessions: one focused on Comparisons in Patent Examination in Europe, US, Japan and China; and the second focused on Patent Prosecution and IP Protection in these countries and regions. Patent examination officials who spoke at the first session included Mr. ZHANG Qingkui, Director General of the Pharmaceutical and Biological Invention Examination Department of SIPO, Dr. George Elliott, Director for TC 1600 (Biotechnology and Organic Chemistry) of USPTO, Dr. Dieter Tzschoppe, Director of Pharmacy of the European Patent Office, and Mr. Satoshi Moriyasu, Deputy Director General of the 3rd Patent Examination Department of Japan Patent Office. They presented and discussed their respective country/region's standards for patentability, with a focus on an inventive step (non-obviousness) and enablement, including data disclosure in regards to the breadth of claims that may be granted. In the second session, senior patent attorneys from the US, Europe, Korea, and other Asian countries presented and discussed their patent application preparation and prosecution strategies to address the patentability standards of USPTO, EPO, KIPO, JPO, and SIPO, with an emphasis on addressing the patentability standards in their home country/region.
Day two of the IP Forum emphasized technology transfer and IP protection during externalization and outsourcing as well as patenting of biotech inventions. The plenary session on “Invention, Externalization and IP Transfer” included two sessions. One focused on Invention, IP Transfer and Commercialization by Universities and academic research. Topics in this session included how to turn innovative ideas from academic institutions into economic activities that create jobs and financial returns. Among the panel members who shared their valuable experiences were experts from some of the world's most prominent and successful organizations in technology transfer including Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) and Yeda Research and Development Co. of Israel. The second session featured panel members from pharmas and contract research organizations (CROs) on topics of IP protection during externalization & CRO outsourcing. In sessions under Biological Development & Invention Enforcement, speakers discussed the new challenges on obtaining and enforcing patents on biotech inventions and recent developments in patent litigation in Europe and US.
The third day of the IP Forum featured a session on China Pharmaceutical hot topics from drug pricing policies to practices, from pharmaceutical data protection to trademark issues and a roundtable discussion on patent procurement and enforcement in China. The panelists of the roundtable discussion included those from judicial branch, SIPO, multinational pharma, domestic pharma, and private practice. They had an interactive dialogue on hot issues in patent protection and enforcement in pharmaceutical and life science areas in China. The topics included how to protect innovations via strong patents, how to effectively enforce patents, and what should be taken into consideration when making deals.
The workshop co-organized by the 3rd China IP Forum international Committee and Chinese Academy of Sciences on May 28th, 2012 focused on “Patent Information” and “IP Transfer”. It was well received by the audience, who were mainly from prestigious research institutes in China.
The 3rd China IP forum received strong sponsorship from many companies and law firms including Sanofi, Amgen, Finnegan Henderson, Scully Scott Murphy & Presser PC (SSMP), BSKB, Hoffmann Eitle, Kim & Chang, Simmons & Simmons, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, Hogan Lovells,, Ella Cheong Spruson & Ferguson, China Patent Agent (HK) Ltd., NTD Patent & Trademark Agency Ltd., Liu Shen & Associates and CCPIT.
The 3rd China IP Forum will focus on recent developments of Chinese patent law and on China’s growing investment in R&D. The Forum will also emphasize topics associated with global R&D IP protection, technology transfer and invention commercialization. The IP Forum will include presentations by experts from the U.S., Europe, and emerging market countries including those in the Asia Pacific region.

I've always heard that streaks are meant to be broken. But I've also heard something like, nothing new ever happens, history just repeats over and over.
With what may be the best Clemson team ever, against a somewhat depleted Carolina team, history repeated again, for the 52nd time.
Some things just weren't meant to be... Heck of a ball game. If they can recover emotionally, Clemson is going to be one of those teams that no one wants to play in March.
Tyler Hansbrough is just a beast... he averaged 33 points and 15 rebounds last week. Who in recent memory has put up those kind of numbers?
Chance that maybe Josh Howard had a few games like that, but I'm not sure. Probably not as far back as we think, but he's something.
Got to love hearing Duke fans talk about him, they hate the guy. Think he gets all the calls.
Check out these stats... he's not in bad company.
Actually, it is 53 in a row, but you can't count the first are repeating, so I was careful and correct.

Software Coupling: Can software make friends?
HomeBlogFrom the BlogSoftware Coupling: Can software make friends?
A quick note to begin with, the next OpenFOAM UK & Ireland user meeting will be held on the 18th and 19th of April 2016 at the University of Exeter. This is a free event but requires registration, so if you are interested then please head on over to http://ukri-openfoam.ex.ac.uk/ where you can register. This will be the fourth time this event has run, with the third being held at Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington that saw nearly 100 people come together.
All told these events are proving more and more useful, so anybody either using or developing OpenFOAM (or interested in either) should come along!
On to the topic of this post. Coupling. Of course I don't mean speed-dating or anything like that, I mean the act of getting two or more pieces of software to work harmoniously on a single problem. This is not a new concept, indeed it has probably been around as long as scientific software has existed. In fact as a concept it is even deeply embedded into fundamental computer science things like Object Orientation. However, it is something that is receiving more and more attention as of late, perhaps due to an ever increasing capacity for computation becoming available and a realisation that creating a "monolithic" solution to solve all physics problems is simply unrealistic. However, one issue at the moment is a lack of standardisation.
There are lots of projects out there, some huge, some very small, some aiming at generic solutions, some offering very specific capabilities to make one piece of software talk to one other. One common trait though is that terminologies are still often interchangeable and the best approach for most situations has yet to be defined.
Loose coupling: A system comprised of multiple discrete components where each may able to transfer data to and/or from another but none are reliant on any other for their continued operation.
Tight coupling: As per loose-coupling but where at least one component in the system is reliant on another to operate.
Monolithic coupling: A system in which two or more discrete components are combined to the point where they can no longer be distinguished from each other, effectively becoming a single entity.
In my experience, when people say "code coupling" they are most commonly speaking about the second type, however it would be nice for these phrases to become formalised so no explanation is needed (some may argue that has already happened, however a recent review excercise undertaken by the author has lead him to believe that not to be true).
MpCCI (Fraunhofer SCAI; commercial; http://www.mpcci.de/mpcci-software.html): This commercial solution can be found embedded into many existing and well-known software packages and even has an interface for OpenFOAM. It provides a library to connect into new software, however it should be noted that for it to work, you will need to purchase a license to operate the server which acts to coordinate all coupled applications.
MUSCLE2 (MAPPER Project; Open-source; http://www.mapper-project.eu/web/guest/muscle): A result of the European funded MAPPER project, the MUSCLE2 library and suite is an in-depth solution to code coupling and management. It is perhaps a little too heavy-weight for many situations, but for those serious about coupling, it's well worth a look. The MAPPER project has now evolved into the new EU COMPAT project, with lots of member institutions (http://www.compat-project.eu/), which is focussing more specifically on the multi-scale aspect of coupling.
CouPE (ANL; Open-source; http://sigma.mcs.anl.gov/coupe-coupled-physics-environment/): Part of ANL's SIGMA tool-kit, this takes a similar approach to MUSCLE2 and suffers the same problems in terms of the learning curve and overheads involved with framework set up. However, a very complete solution with lots of good publications associated.
There are many other examples, so it is always worth having a look to see what exists before assuming you need to reinvent the wheel!
Code coupling is a hot topic but one that now needs its respective communities to begin to come together. There are too many competing efforts out there for something that, really, can only be done in a few ways for nearly all cases. Ultimately it is reasonable to say that the general need, when scientific code coupling is considered, can be boiled down to "one piece of software needing to communicate with another and impart information about its physical state at a specified point, at a known point in time."

We are the New York Messengers Alliance, a grass-roots union by and for all New York City Messengers. There are thousands of us in New York City who pick up and deliver packages by bicycle, on foot or in a vehicle.
We work for many different companies, with wages and benefits varying greatly. However, it is too often the case that we have to hustle and scrape together jobs while barely making minimum wage. We put our bodies on the line to make sure people get the packages and goods they need on time. And when we are injured on the job, which is an all too common occurrence, we have to deal with our wounds and injuries on our own, because for the majority of us we are considered independent contractors.
We love this job, we love to ride, but we are not going to be exploited anymore. We are building this alliance to challenge a business model that enriches Wall Street funded companies on the backs of hard working couriers. We are fighting for our fellow brothers and sisters who have had to deal with broken bones and torn flesh as companies tell us that there is nothing they can do for us.

Yesterday I was featured on the TAFA blog with an entry I had written on my experiences with the refugees and how that has affected my art. Yesterday was also the day when I handed over the volunteer network’s e-mail account to my successor in that function, thus ending my involvement with the network in an ‘official’ position. That does not mean I am withdrawing completely, as today I started German lessons with another refugee from Afghanistan, who had not come to me for lessons before. Only now I am not acting as a representative or spokesperson towards the city anymore. I am being completely selfish in that I take my pick - I chose the refugees with whom I want to work. Happy to be involved with them, and helping where possible, but only for people whom I like, and where I have the feeling that they’re not taking advantage of me and my time. Who are appreciating what I am doing for them, and where I have the impression that I am making an impact. I really felt good during the German lesson today, very relieved.
Before that I had already spent an undisturbed few hours this morning stitching, concentrating on my quilts. The blog post for TAFA closes with a statement that at present I am not consciously planning any more quilts that deal with the topic of refugees, but in fact I am presently still working on finishing two that are somehow related to that topic.
One is one of my very late contributions to the International Threads challenge which was born last year when Kathy Loomis and I were in Prague, bought a set of eight embroidered Afghanistan squares from the Guldusi initiative, and challenged the group to make quilts that included these squares. All of the squares were stitched by the same woman, Nasrin. Most of the resulting quilts are finished already, and you can see them on the group’sblog. Mine – the only one still missing – finally is in the process of being finished, but there may still be a few more stitches that need to be added. I am really feeling what Gillian Travis immediately complained about when we were debating a change in size, that was to begin with this challenge. This is so much bigger than the size we were working in originally! The changed size has since then been totally revoked, back to the original size, but I had dedicated myself to working in the larger new size for this one so that Kathy Loomis’ quilt would not be the only one. For various reasons that I won’t go into detail about here I ended up using three of the embroidered squares, not only the one I picked out at first.
And I wanted to use them in combination with a piece of fabric for an Afghanistan head dress I had hand-dyed. I also put the top on the longarm to add some glitter through the quilting thread that I can't use on my sewing machine, and now I am adding a lot of hand stitching to tune down the presence of the stitches on the head dress fabric.
I am not quite certain how many more stitches will still need to be added, but I did make good progress this morning.
The second quilt still related to that topic is my first finished Journal Quilt for the year, and it resulted from a remnant of the head dress fabric, with a piece of purple and a few other additions. (Only the binding needs to be finalized on the back.) And it’s not really a refugee quilt, it’s just back to playing around with fabrics, threads, composition.
This was a happy stitching day!
On Sunday morning, I returned to my basket weaving class.
I added another layer to increase the height. And then the inbuilt handles - simple, but very effective!
Right now it is drying in the warmest room of the house, the cellar where the heating system is located, and in a couple of days it should be ready to use. It measures about 40 cm in height. The different colors are the result of using different types of willow branches. It was a lot of fun! And I definitely want to make another one, perhaps even slightly larger, for my washing. But it does not go well with handling fabrics - working with the willows is rough on the skin of your hands, and these two activities don't go well in parallel! But a very good activity to relax and get your mind set on other things!
A few days ago a good friend of mine had a serious conversation with me about the fact that I should relax more, and what was I doing for my leisure, even or especially as I am pulling out of the volunteer work with the refugees. It's true, I find it difficult to just 'do nothing', I always have something planned for a possible wait (read a book, knit a little), and as most of my friends live in places rather far away from here I can't just go and visit a friend to do nothing with her besides just visit and be friends. And once somebody had put a pistol to your head and said "Relax!", that is just about the easiest task in the world!
So it's just as well that I had enrolled in a community college workshop on basket weaving even before that friend of mine lectured me, and indeed she was pleased when I told her that that was coming up. A special kind of café leisure, perhaps.
Temporarily you do need a lot of room!
as long as there are two empty slots, you need to continue.
Only when a rod extends from every slot have you actually completed the round.
And the beginning/end is where two rods are in one slot.
This is the current state of my basket as it will be put under plastic over night.
We're a fast lot - the master basketeer said he doesn't usually have people who put in the second layer on the first day (which is the darker upper part on my basket here). Now I am wondering whether I will be finished too early - or should I add a third layer before closing it off? It's going to be a basket for my knitting.
I was astounded at having 'so much time' recently, but I don't have the feeling that I'm accomplishing much. My husband thinks I am on the brink of burnout because of the refugees and the long-drawn-out withdrawal from that. My friend thinks, I'm not relaxing enough, not spending enough time doing nothing. Whereas I think I have really been very slow about getting back into the swing ever since I returned from New Zealand. Lots of different opinions about what is going on.
True is that I don't find it easy to just 'do nothing'. True is also that I am really worried about what is going to happen with all those refugees who are now being bombed out of Aleppo, and how Turkey and EU are haggling about them. I have been reading a book whose title translates as 'Understand Syria', and as I am slowly coming to the end I understand well that there is not much to understand. I don't see that there is any possible solution, not on the political negotiations' side. And what happens when 'solutions' are being brought by bombing we are now witnessing again.
So I briefly considered mending a pair of jeans with one of my sew-off-squares. Which would have made a nice addition.
But before actually sewing it on I had the idea of looking into the jeans - and realized that it did not only feel thin and worn, it actually was thinned out veil-like consistency in several other spots as well. Not much use sitting down to serious mending with this pair any more. It will be worn until it falls to pieces.
I am continuing on that Jacob's Ladder, which has progressed nicely and been pinned to the wall, but not completed yet. I am doing other scrap exercises, a kind of mindless sewing that keeps the fingers moving but is not too intellectually challenging. And I working on some exercises for an online class with Jane Dunnewold that I am taking. I could put a lot more energy into them, however - and yesterday evening as I was pinning pieces of a small composition to my wall I thought this could be the place where I should be looking for new ideas. Right now it is like physiotherapy - moving the limbs. But there was a little bit of a breeze yesterday, too.

Android Oreo is currently the talk of the town as most Android OEMs are in a rat race to upgrade their Android devices to the latest and most awaited version of Android. While, in some regions, the devices from Motorola and Huawei have already received the Android Oreo 8.0 update. However, in the Canadian markets, these devices are still awaiting the Oreo update from a long time. Now according to a new document, a timeline has been; leaked for the Android Oreo update for Motorola Moto Z Play and the Huawei P10 and the P10 Plus.

I’d rather add a guided-missile launcher.
For people that rev their engines at stoplights….
Would a car to tank kit suffice?
Uh, I think Intellectual Ventures patented HUP for cars a few years ago.
Considering my car from 1998 had a HUD, I doubt anyone patented this last year….
Uh, yea…Chrysler has HUD in the 70’s in a few limited models , and some in the 80’s as well.
Oh, and the 80’s models talked to you too.
My aunt had one of those. It tended to spit out its phrases at random, nonsensical, times. Then one day it said all its phrases one after the other. After that it worked properly.
“A door is a jar” instead of “A door is ajar”.
Telling people their Chrysler vehicles had canned goods storage containers instead of doors was the price of saving a few bytes of storage to encode ajar as a whole word. They should have gone for a bigger chip, then used the space to have words to say which door was ajar.
Regarding the A Jar problem: It seems quite strange today when we are all walking about with gigabytes of nonvolatile storage on our keychains, but in the late 1980’s a 32 kilobyte ROM was top of the line and about ten bucks a pop in quantity. It’s quite likely they were already using the largest chip either available or that their microprocessor platform could easily handle.
There have been no end of phone apps that simply reverse the display to project speed on the windshield. “Torque”, an app that uses a Bluetoothed OBD2 dongle to get car info has an HUD display mode as well, and there are “HUD” modules (essentially adjustable clear reflective surfaces on a phone ledge) you can get for ~$20 so all of this has been around for quite a while (and is quite annoying to drive with for any period of time).
HUD in aircraft are there mostly for high-saturation tasks such as ILS landings in threat zones and various combat operations (eg keeping track of a jillion parameters while not getting blown out of the sky). Commercial aircraft don’t bother since (in theory) nobody’s shooting at them and radar will do.
Here’s a video of it, using a tablet. As I said…annoying….
My employer’s Gulfstream V corporate (Part 91 – COMMERCIAL) AIRCRAFT is indeed equipped with a HUD. It superimposes various cues that aid in situational awareness while allowing me to bring the aircraft onto the deck with a minimum of fuss. EVS and FLIR overlay are very helpful for REAL pilots.
Someone needs to tell this “genius” that there’s no such thing as a “heads up display”.
Also, what does this have to do with “turning your car into a fighter jet”? Plenty of cars, even relatively cheap ones come with head up displays these days. Putting an LED strip on your dashboard has something to do with a fighter jet? Hyperbole much?
Can you explain your comment that there’s no such thing as “heads up display”? Are you just disagreeing with the ‘s’ on the end of ‘heads’?
Further googling suggests that heads-up is more common in the US, and head-up in the UK.
They should make one to be coupled with GPS in yor phone that will show which lane(s) you need and which exit leads where. I have seen one from China but the price was a bit too much.
This. I wonder why they haven’t done it yet, when there are a handful of apps that does this. “Head-Up Nav HUD Navigation” being my favorite, and is using Google Maps as the location provider so I’m not complaining.
Real heads-up displays focus on infinity and can surround objects in the real world (and stay on target even when you move your head). It requires a lot of optics and a flat pane of glass for projection.
Unless you have some form of stereo-scopics, eg. opposing polarized filters for each eye, etc, you can’t focus an object beyond the display plane. Fighter jets may have that built into the pilots visor, but it’s a bit impractical in cars to require a driver to don eye-wear.
There are a number of automotive heads up displays in or about to enter production that track eye position and direction and will place a visual cue around real world objects needing attention – such as pedestrians or other vehicles about to enter your path of travel. You see a red warning box around the person in the cross-walk, but the visual focal point of that box is still on the windscreen even though it perfectly frames the pedestrian in your visual field all the way across the road. Hyundai Sonata is one example.
This is not correct. Devices projecting image at infinity on a diagonal plane have been around for a long time. I used to have one on my old telescope – projected a bullseye target over the star field – both the target and stars could bee seen without requiring a focus shift.
Was going to mention focus, but this application is using LEDs (point sources?) anyway, so it won’t matter all that much.
We have a heads-up speedometer / cruise / etc display in our car. It took a while to get used to, because you naturally keep trying to focus on the pane of glass just ahead of your hands, only to then have to focus further out again. Once you relax and stop trying to look at it, it’s very visible, with this floating-in-your-peripheral-vision effect.
The mirror is itself curved, which I think is what’s doing the focusing. It reflects a cluster of 7-seg LEDs in the dash. I’ll have to go have a look and think about the optics a little bit.
Needless to say, it doesn’t do anything fancy. It just shows your speed, without having to look down (very far).
The bit about focus is important. If it doesn’t focus at infinity you’re shifting focus (and attention) between the road and your windshield. Now you’re effectively obstructing your field of view while driving distracted. If fighter pilots’ HUDs didn’t focus at infinity and just threw a display on the canopy like some people do with their phones in the car, they would almost be at a disadvantage verses having to look down at their instrument panels.
Maybe that’s what I’ll do with my old Sprint Motorola Photon Q nobody wants to buy. Get a piece of semi-reflective stuff to put on the inside of my car’s windshield then use the phone with a HUD app just for speed, direction etc using the phone’s GPS. IIRC it has GPS that works without the phone signals.
Can these mods risk invalidating your insurance policy? You could miss a red break light on a car ahead if don’t stick with green and blue for the LEDs. I know the lights are high on the windscreen, but how do you avoid a pile-up if you miss what some truck 100 meters ahead is doing? You know what insurance companies are like, any excuse to not pay out on a policy.

Get ready for the 5th annual H.A.M. It Up Against Hunger Race in St. George, Utah! This family-friendly fun run is part of our activities to commemorate national Hunger Action Month, which takes place in September. Every sponsorship dollar and registration fee for the race directly supports Utah Food Bank's work of fighting hunger in Southern Utah. We hope to use this race to increase awareness of the issue of hunger in our state in addition to bringing awareness to Utah Food Bank's work in Southern Utah.
There are 35,790 Southern Utahns who are unsure where their next meal will come from, of which 12,950 are children. Utah Food Bank Southern Distribution Center distributes food to 18 partner agencies and mobile pantry sites in Southern Utah, and all proceeds from this race will directly benefit those communities.

A satellite is scheduled to be launched this weekend which Iowa State University researchers say could bring a host of benefits to Iowans, especially farmers.
The orbiting device is called SMOS, for Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity. Brian Hornbuckle, an I.S.U. agronomy professor, says the satellite’s sophisticated instruments will measure and map soil moisture levels globally every few days.
Hornbuckle says, “The most direct application for the Iowa farmer is going to be potentially better weather forecasts and forecasts of climate which could also lead to forecasts of crop yield maybe months now in advance of harvest.” Since the satellite will be soaring around the planet at a fast clip while surveying the entire globe, the resolution will only be about the size of Story County, where I.S.U. is located.
The ground measurements will be collected on some 200 acres of I.S.U. research farmland south of campus. The satellite is expected to generate global maps of soil moisture every two to three days for at least the next three years, which he says will have applications far beyond farming.
Hornbuckle says, “SMOS is one more piece of the puzzle that will help us improve the forecasting of floods because if we know how soil moisture varies on the landscape, we have an idea of how much of that precipitation is going to soak in and how much is going to run off and cause flooding.” The satellite is due to be launched at 7:50 P.M./Central time on Sunday by the European Space Agency. America’s space agency, NASA, is planning for a similar type of mission in 2014 which Hornbuckle says will provide even a more active role to researchers at Iowa State.

On behalf of Disability Rights Law Center on Wednesday, January 30, 2019.
Even the most common injuries can range in severity depending on the individual who gets hurt and the circumstances. Injuries that one person could recover from quickly could leave someone else unable to work for a prolonged period of time.
Similarly, an injury that might heal cleanly and safely in most cases, like a broken bone, can occasionally also lead to disabling injuries. The discrepancy in the severity of injuries and the effects that they have on a person's livelihood and daily life are one of many reasons why disability decisions get made on an individual basis, not based on a diagnosis.
When it comes to broken bones, permanent disability is likely only an option in the case of irreparable fractures or a secondary condition that develops. In some cases, people can overcome the symptoms associated with a bad break. In others, it can have a permanent impact.
Broken bones are very different from one another. Even two people of the same age, gender and overall health could have different experiences breaking the same bone in a similar manner.
Some fractures are simple and clean. They only require that a doctor sets them properly and that the patient allows the area to rest. Within anywhere from four to 12 weeks, the person with the broken bone will typically heal well enough to begin physical therapy. That therapy helps ensure that the individual retains both strength and range of motion in the area affected by the fracture.
Some fractures are much more difficult to treat and recover from. Crushing injuries can result in multiple breaks in the same bone. In extreme cases, the bone may be so badly broken that doctors need to insert metal rods or other medical devices to reinforce the affected area. Sometimes, these fractures can have a permanent effect on the use of the limb or extremity impacted. Surgery and ongoing care may be necessary in extreme cases.
If the results of the broken bone impact someone's ability to care for themselves or continue working, those issues may provide a valid reason to seek disability for workers' compensation benefits.
While most people with broken bones heal quickly and cleanly, sometimes the healing process is complicated. Some individuals may develop a progressive disorder of the nerves in the affected area known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
This condition will worsen as the tissue heals and can cause permanent weakness and pain. Those who develop CRPS while a bone heals could have grounds to seek disability benefits, especially because the symptoms of CRPS are often debilitating.
Seeking adequate medical care and complying with recommendations for therapy and rest are important to healing after a fracture. For some individuals, the long-term consequences may include an inability to live independently or retain a job. These individuals may be able to connect with compensation to help them offset the consequences of their injury.

If I get it right that means that we shouldn't contribute to Launchpad anymore (but what will hapen with the last Launchpad translations that have not updated the site?). Still I don't understand how can I contribute in Transifex. Do you have any instructions for that, or do we have to figure them out ourselves?
What is the procedure to get access to wiki.tatoeba.org ? Who are welcomed to cotribute there?
May I suppose the it will be sometime?
From : Contribute>Translate sentences if I choose Bashkir or Amharic I get void random sentences with no flag, or said more presicely with the unknown flag (that white one with the question mark).
It happens with some languages, not all of them. But it is still annoying.
I don't want to argue but it's not the case here.

Double-major: Theatre and International Business. Pre-Law. CREATE path to MBA. Honors College. 3.8 GPA. 2 years experience.
Hi! I’m a freshman at UA, but I spent three years dual-enrolled at Wallace State Community College taking courses through Business Calculus and Microeconomics. English and paper writing are my strongest suits, but I aced all of my collegiate math courses. I enjoy tutoring and am willing to do it over email/text, in person, or video chat. I have tutored for 2 years, 4th grade through college. I also assisted my mother as an ESL tutor for grade school and high school students. I was homeschooled, so I am used to teaching myself. I also was responsible for teaching my brother when my mother had to go back to work during the recession.

How Does Nicotine Affect Cells?
What is the Difference Between Repeatability and Reproducibility?
repeatability measures the variation in measurements taken by a single instrument or person under the same conditions, while reproducibility measures whether an entire study or experiment can be reproduced in its entirety.
Within scientific write ups, reproducibility and repeatability are often reported as standard deviation. The article From Crude Mixture to Pure Compound – Automatic Purification Made Easy discusses how scientists and researchers establish repeatability and reproducibility in more detail.
Repeatability practices were introduced by scientists Bland and Altman. For repeatability to be established, the following conditions must be in place: the same location; the same measurement procedure; the same observer; the same measuring instrument, used under the same conditions; and repetition over a short period of time.
What’s known as “the repeatability coefficient” is a measurement of precision, which denotes the absolute difference between a pair of repeated test results.
controlled inter-laboratory test programs are able to determine reproducibility. The article Precise Low Temperature Control Improves Reaction Reproducibility discusses the challenges related to reproducibility in more detail.
Why are repeatability and reproducibility considered desirable?
In terms of repeatability and reproducibility, test/re-test reliability demonstrates that scientific findings and constructs are not expected to alter over time. For instance, if you used a certain method to measure the length of an adult’s arm, and then repeated the process two years later using the same method, it’s highly likely that your results would correlate. Yet if your results differed greatly, you would probably conclude that your findings were inaccurate, leading you on to further investigations. As such, repeatability and reliability imbue investigative findings with a degree of authority.
We can also use repeatability and reliability to measure difference and a lack of correlation. If, for instance, we are unable to repeat or reproduce our findings, we have to ask ourselves why, and to investigate further.

I was driving along Wellesley St., near Queen’s Park, recently when a cyclist startled me.
He pulled alongside my car and banged on the roof.
Naturally, I rolled down the window and was about to utter the kind of phrase one generally uses when confronted with an uppity cyclist, when the guy stuck his head in my window — and beamed at me.
It was my son, Paul. And it made me pause and reflect that even though I’m too old and creaky to bike, every cyclist I pass on the road could be one of my sons, since they both bike to work.
That’s why I disagree with my colleague Mike Strobel’s opposition to the pilot project for a bike lane on Bloor St., from Avenue Rd. to Shaw St.
I drive a lot in this city and I’ve noticed that bike lanes sometimes help the flow of traffic, rather than hinder it.
There are caveats: The kind of bike lane matters. The one on Wellesley St. E. is a disaster. Bikes are separated from cars with vertical poles, which get knocked down like bowling pins. They then lie across the bike lane, creating a safety hazard.
West of Yonge, the Wellesley bike lanes are well-planned. There’s a curb separating them from traffic and at one point, there’s even a lane of parked cars separating bikes from cars.
Thousands of cyclists stream across Wellesley every day, many of them students heading to the University of Toronto. The part of Bloor that’s slated for a trial bike lane is also an area where there are lots of students, so it makes sense.
I was one of those who quibbled when bike lanes were put on Jarvis St. They were removed after an uproar from drivers, who feared they’d be slowed down. At that time, I used Jarvis all the time. Much as I opposed the bike lanes, I saw no difference in traffic flow pre or post lanes.
I drive along Danforth Ave. most days. I make a point of driving in the left lane and leave the curb lane for bikes. It doesn’t slow me down. It’s just a sensible, safe way of making room for everyone.
I was in the Netherlands recently, where biking is a way of life — not just for the young or for students. Everyone bikes — everywhere. And there’s a major network of separate bike lanes to accommodate everyone.
What’s more, the Dutch cycling culture in reflected in their waistlines. There’s very little obesity because everyone gets lots of exercise.
I’m not saying we can turn Toronto into Amsterdam overnight. It will take generations to bring about a cultural shift. But you have to start somewhere.
That said, if cyclists want space on the road, they should pay for it through licences. And they should follow the rules of the road or get ticketed — and treat drivers with respect.
I had that light-bulb moment when my son hammered on my car. Now it’s time we stopped the “we” and “they” mentality on our roads — and worked to keep everyone safe.
It’s a two-way street, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Just as I drive as if every cyclist were my son, I hope every cyclist treats every driver as if she were his mother.

This is one of those places that I have been wanting to visit. I had no particular reason to see it other than I wanted to say I had been there. My reasons for going places are rarely complicated. There are two ways in, the easier one is off Highway 539 east of Lomond, Alberta.
After a few miles of gravel road you will see a sign.
The gravel road quickly turns into this trail after a Texas gate. You might be able to get there in a car. It is better if you have a truck or an SUV. There is about six kilometres of trail like this over rolling hills and a gradual increase in elevation to get to the site.
The first snake, a Garter Snake, that I have seen in Alberta. Something killed it.
Once you get to the spot it is fenced off with a gate and a Government of Alberta sign is at the entrance giving a little history about the place. The wheel is over four thousand years old. Apparently there are forty of them in Alberta. This one is a group six. Of the known medicine wheels only three belong to this category, the other two are in South Dakota and Wyoming.
You walk up a bit of an incline and there is the cairn or hub.
I did not expect to see a concrete marker close to the cairn.
The marker is stamped "Geodetic Survey of Canada".
Some people have left a few items at the cairn.
A "spoke" radiating out from the cairn.
You cannot really see it but there is a line of stones making an arc in the grass which circles the cairn.
The medicine wheel is on the top of the highest hill in the area. You can see for miles. Photos do not do this place justice and it is hard to capture the experience in a few pictures. The wheel is on a high point and you can see the rolling landscape of the prairie for miles in any direction. You can understand why people picked this spot to build something.
In the pioneer days it was government policy in Alberta to have a school within walking distance of every child. There are school markers all over Alberta marking where one room schools once stood. Not all of them are marked and some of them are weirdly remote. I have photos of over one hundred eighty markers just to keep track of the ones I have run across. This one is unique for a couple of reasons. It is oddly remote and the school only lasted for one year. I was surprised someone put up a marker in this out of the way place.
The only information I could find on it is that it opened on February 24, 1917 and the first and only teacher was a Miss Thursfield, later Mrs. Frank Hill.
There is no road here, just a trail you can drive on. The nearest town via a straight line was over fifteen miles away back in 1917.
The sign was spotted off in the distance.
There are no ranches or farms here nor any remains of any farming operations. So a bit of a mystery as to where the children came from to attend the school.
I found a piece of brick by the sign. People went to the trouble and expense of hauling the material out here over one hundred years ago and building a school that had some brickwork, which had to cost a bit of money, that was only used as a school for a year. I would love to know what happened to it. There are literally no people around this spot for miles.
Last fall I went to Montana to celebrate American Thanksgiving and ended up spending the better part of a week just enjoying good food, staying in historic hotels and drinking craft beer. A nice little holiday after a busy gardening season. The following photos are from a short side trip along Mission Road just north of Cascade.
Bales and Square Butte. There are eleven buttes in Montana with the same name. The elevation of his one is over 4,700 feet.
Of course there is an old mission along Mission Road.
Saint Peter's Catholic Church with Telegraph Mountain in the distance.
The log church of Saint Peter's was built in 1878.
The remains of the stone mission.
The stone mission was built in 1887 and burned down in 1918.
The view from Saint Peter's Cemetery looking southeast towards the church.
The view from the cemetery looking to the northwest.
One last look at the church.
The road west of the mission.
A closer look at Square Butte and the bale stacks.
Since I mentioned Morraine Lake in the previous post . . .
I am a bit stiff today. I ended up walking about five miles on Saturday hanging out with a friend visiting a few places that are new to me. Then on Sunday I rode my motorcycle from Airdrie to Lake Louise, more specifically Morraine Lake, which is at least a 400km round trip. If you are going to ride a motorcycle on a weekend you might as well pick a good destination. The aches and pains are a reminder that I am getting older. They are also a reminder that I got out and did something with my weekend.
There is a simple reason why people want to win the lottery and that reason is bills. Some days it feels like it gets to be a bit much with all the expenses one has to face. I have money to pay my bills but I would like not having to think about them. Some days I am sure it costs me money just to wake up in the morning.
I recently discovered that I have to check the blog for comments. I was wondering why I was not getting email alerts that people were leaving a comment. I thought maybe no one was commenting, which does happen. It turns out people were commenting, Blogger just decided to no longer inform me. Google changed some stuff with Blogger which I find annoying. When I have time I will try to figure it out.
Busy lately. I had to do some course work for my job. We also have less staff these days and the same amount of work, which means I have had to take on more. Personally I prefer to do as little as possible at my job. Unfortunately many times I find myself doing actual work.
Divorce proceedings. Lots of time where nothing happens and I feed my lawyer money ahead of time so I have funds to cover when something actually does happen. I have a trial date for November 5th of this year so it should be resolved before the year is out. I have some conflicting thoughts about the whole thing. I have not been in contact with her since she had me served in March 2014 nor do I have any desire to contact her. I do want this resolved however I never thought I would be one of those guys who ended up being divorced. Over twenty years that ultimately came to naught. There might be a Country song somewhere in this that someone else has already written. As an aside, when you go through certain experiences you understand some of the songs on a different level than when you first heard them.
As for Country music very few people that I associate with listen to it. It makes it a little difficult to find some new stuff if no one I know listens to it. The radio is no help, they do not take a chance on anything interesting. There is a lot of great stuff that I have recently discovered by chance. I have downloaded stuff by Stonely LaRue, Cody Canada, Wade Bowen, Uncle Lucius, Jamey Johnson, and Cody Jinks. I am trying to get my hands on some Whiskey Myers. The Canadian version of Itunes does not list the album I want. I might have to get it by other means.
Enough of this. It is a hot day and there is beer in my immediate future.
I was with a friend that spotted this. Apparently you do not see these owls that often. They are not rare, they are just secretive in their habits. This one was hanging out in a ditch.
Once we approached it with cameras it flew a short distance and stopped in the same ditch.
The new camera allowed me to zoom in and get a few good photos.
Out and about in Vulcan County, Alberta May 26, 2018.
I give you the return of the hay bale post!
It has taken ages to find suitable bales to post. I do prefer the round ones though.
Spotted this on May 20, 2018. I thought it might be an old one room schoolhouse. There is nothing nearby. The nearest town is Lomond, Alberta.
The Crowfoot Ferry opened for the season on May 11, 2018. The opening was a little later than usual due to high water levels and they needed to get their hands on a D8 to get the ferry in the water. This is what the ferry operator told me.
Twenty-six kilometres of gravel road. Personally I think a rural ferry should be a little out of the way and there should be some gravel road involved. Approaching from the other direction it is only five kilometres of gravel road. One of my favourite diversions on a late spring day.
Typical southern Alberta landscape. The ferry is practically on the horizon.
Not a busy ferry. The water is brown from the run off.

It was a busy week around our offices. You might have heard that we hosted our Structure 2012 conference. Nevertheless, between all the talk of clouds, software-defined networks and giant data sets, I did manage to read some good articles and wanted to share those with you.
10 signs you may have an unhealthy relationship with social media: Thankfully I suffer from four out of these 10 ailments and slowly am giving up bad social media habits as well.
In keeping up with this theme, Joe Kraus, Excite co-founder and now a Googler believes we are creating a culture of distraction. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t totally agree with him because I believe every new technology is part of human behavior’s evolution and we are just living through those phases right now.
Just what is a UX manager? If all this design and UX talk is confounding you then you might want to read this great piece by Adaptive Path’s Brandon Schauer.
Why every company in the future will need a chief experience officer. Reuben Steiger of Method makes a good case for a CXO, and I buy his argument. This is the best piece I have read this week, by the way.
Apple and Leica, what do they have in common? They believe in retail experience as a gateway to forming lifelong relationships with their customers. As someone who has secretly coveted one of these cameras, I couldn’t help but share this piece.
Looks like robots are entering the job market. Wonder what Washington has to say about that?
And last but not least, a great interview with John Le Carre in the Paris Review. I found it pretty engaging and frankly since watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on the big screen, I am re-reading all the Le Carre books.

I love trying new beauty products so was thrilled to be asked to review the Inis travel set by What's Good To Do . Inis is not a brand I am familiar with so before it arrived I had a quick look at their website to find out a bit more. The description of Inis cologne on their website is “This exciting Irish Cologne for Men and Women is a seductive scent, embodying the coolness, clarity and purity of the sea. The fragrance evokes the male and female sides of each individual, combining the secrets of nature and creating a feeling of sensuality.” This sounded perfect for me as I prefer fresh scents and love being by the sea so I couldn’t wait for it to arrive, fortunately I didn’t have long to wait!
The travel pack contains Refreshing Bath & Shower Gel with seaweed extract 85ml, Revitalising Body Lotion with seaweed extract and shea butter 85ml and Cologne spray 30ml. They are packed in a gift box with a beautiful image of Roundstone Beach, Connemara which looks absolutely stunning. They are the perfect size for popping in your wash bag when travelling and the cologne easily fits in my handbag.
I knew from the description on the website that I would love this cologne and from the minute I made the first spray I was hooked. The scent is pure and fresh and not in the least overpowering, which can be a problem with some other perfumes. The bath & shower gel is a good consistency, not too runny where it slips through your fingers in the shower, and lathers well. The revitalising body lotion seems to just melt into my skin and leaves it lovely and soft, the lotion isn’t greasy at all and my skin loves it. I always find perfume lasts longer when layered with shower gel and body lotion and Inis is no exception.
As the cologne is for both men and women I let Mark try the cologne. Whilst he liked the fragrance he did comment that the bottle design was a little feminine so it’s perhaps not for a single man’s bathroom shelf!
I have received so many compliments since I started using these products and everyone wants to know what my new perfume is so I will certainly be buying Inis again.
The travel set costs £24.95.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What is the meaning of life?" And what was your answer(s)? Or, were you stumped? Have no fear! This OLLI study group is coming to your rescue. We don't guarantee that the answers will satisfy, but you will at least be confused on a higher plane. In his The Meaning of Life: A Very Short Introduction, Terry Eagleton, noted literary critic and public intellectual, tackles the question in a serious but often amusing manner. He starts by dissecting the question itself, and then reflects across the centuries of thought by philosophers and writers, ranging across Aristotle, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Chekhov, Freud, and the Book of Job, to name but a few. When apt, we may include short excerpts from some of the thinkers and writers Eagleton references. Eagleton's prose is light and often irreverent, but also very serious and intellectually complex.
This study group will be conducted online using Zoom software. Training will be offered in advance for those unfamiliar with Zoom. It is assumed that participants are comfortable with using the video and sound capabilities of their personal choice of technology (PC, MAC, iPad, Android Tablet, etc.). This group will run for 7 weeks, starting the week of April 22. We will attack The Meaning of Life in small chunks, less that 20 pages/week, leaving plenty of time for what we expect to be wide-ranging and entertaining discussions. Each member will have the opportunity to lead the discussion for one of the seven sessions.

The oil change is essential for all engine function to run smoothly. Before long trips having an oil change done, especially if it is near servicing is ideal. While going over the mileage a little won’t necessarily hurt anything, a fresh oil change can help boost your MPG. Getting better fuel economy on long trips is great for saving a little bit of money at the pump. An oil change will also ensure that the fluid level is correct and where it should be.
Your vehicle’s air conditioning is vital. When temperatures reach over 100, driving in an unairconditioned car can feel more like torture than an exciting time waiting to reach your destination. An A/C check will inspect the freon, make sure the blower motor is working correctly. If your freon is low, the air conditioning will not blow as cold as it should. The elements of a car’s air conditioning system should only be handled by a professional. It can be very dangerous to try and fix issues with any pressurized system.
Overheating is a common problem on long road trips. Having your upper and lower radiator hose inspected for signs of breakage or tears and making sure the coolant levels are correct will go a long way in keeping your engine cool on out of town road trips. A technician may also look over your radiator for any signs of damage that may lead to overheating. If you have had trouble with rising operating temperatures, have those addressed beforehand.
Tires need to be in optimal condition for any drive you take. Older tires or those with worn out tread can potential blowout while driving. This is a very unsafe condition. Tire rotation will move the worn tires to the non-driving axle for better durability. However, if after a tire inspection you need to have a tire replaced, you should do so before hitting the road. A tire popping while out on the road will mean costly towing service and delays. Tire rotation is a simple service that should be done periodically and is part of most manufacturers recommended routine service.
Be sure that before you leave if your due for your routine scheduled maintenance to have it performed. This includes the 30k, 60k, and 90k services. If your air filter needs to be changed, it’s a good idea to have this done as well. It can improve fuel economy along with an oil change. Have your German car service done with the best at Ryan GMW.

Recently within one the Daily Journal articles I wrote about something that everyone who dreams of the fulltime lifestyle has to face. Do we simply dream the dream of the fulltime life or do we actually live the dream. With this article I've taken the opportunity to expand upon the words I wrote that that day. A day when we were getting ready to leave one volunteer position and travel on to the next.
It was our last Sunday to attend church at the Reedsport Church of God, and once again the energizer bunny of ministers, Allen, was going full throttle as always. He had been preaching a series, though teaching may be the better word, on "How to Enjoy the Rest of Your Life", and the message that morning was called: "Joy in Your Job".
Joy is one of those words that can easily mean many things, after all, isn't one person's joy oftentimes another persons sorrow. Take the difference between the winner and the rest of the participants in a sports event for example. To the winner goes the joy, to all others..., you get the idea. One of our small joys is attending church on Sunday mornings, and I offer this statement only to give a small insight into who we are. Perhaps you are one of the many who think of church as dull, boring, or not contemporary to your needs, just like we felt for years, even though we faithfully attended every Sunday morning. If so, you haven't experienced the churches and messages that we have discovered during our travels.
That day we found ourselves at this little church on the Oregon coast, in the process of changing jobs so to speak, leaving the comfort of the Lighthouse after a volunteer stint of several months, ready to embark on a journey of some 2000 miles to Fredericksburg, Texas in order to undertake a new adventure. One where we would be relating the events of World War II in the Pacific to our visitors. So, considering the timing and the content of today's message, the question on both of our minds as we returned to the coach was, had this message been meant specifically for us?
A short time later, back at the coach, we reflected upon what we had heard. Allen's words had so fluently expressed the nuances of the life we are living, and of the days we had just experienced at the Lighthouse. Because of those words we now understood just how important it would be to carry that same attitude, enthusiasm and set of values with us as we travel down Life's path.
Sara N. Dippity can guide each and everyone of us to places that are unexpected, but what we do with those opportunities is up to us. She lead Linda and I on that trip to the Sonoma coast of California over the Thanksgiving Holidays some four years ago. Giving us the opportunity on the return trip to openly and honestly talk about what we wanted to do for the rest of our lives. How easy it would have been to have just talked, telling each other that after having such a glorious time at the coast, we wished we didn't have to go back to work, and then never acting upon that wish. We could still be working at our jobs today, helping make money for someone else so they can live the Life we actually do. Those first five points in Allen's message are oftentimes difficult for all of us as we go about our jobs. But what about the sixth one, the real hurdle to living our dreams, risk. Do we dare risk, or do we live our lives like we always have?
We have some dear friends who are in the process of setting their own two year plan in motion, one that will end by allowing them to live the life we do. As with us it will not be retirement in the normal sense, meaning the risk is much greater than simply waiting to that point in Life where most people retire, with the security net which normal retirement entails. Risk, it can be very hard to take that leap, but the rewards, ah, the rewards, rewards that which for us have proved to be incalculable. Through casual conversation in the course of the fulltime life we now live, we have discovered others who have also risked, who dropped out early for one reason or another. Many still live as they did, that is in a stick house, not in one with wheels, but always, no mater where they live, the refrain is the same, we're so glad we did it. To which Linda and I echo their excited voices, we're so glad we did it.
Risk which is a word that can be defined in different ways depending on its use. As a noun it indicates the possibility of suffering harm or loss. It also carries a strong connotation of danger. Use it as a verb and it means exposure to a chance of loss or damage. In addition it also implies there is a hazard present. You can allow it to control your life, or you can control your life.
The point of all this is not to make anyone think less of themselves, or to hold those of us who live the fulltime life up as something special. The point is simple. In our Life we have dreams. The challenge is to not let it be just that, a dream. Act on that dream, take a chance, reach out and risk, otherwise your dream will be just what it is, a dream. Why not turn it into a journey to a destination. That old adage, 'And may all your dreams come true", was never more apropos. Life, meant to be lived.
In my own life, when I have been confronted with seeming overwhelming obstacles, I have considered the words below and then acted according to my beliefs. There is great truth in every one of those eighteen words, but the secret is contained in just four of them, with my whole being As I've learned over and over through success and failure, it's a case of doubters need not apply.

Yesterday, speaking in front of the Treasury Committee, the leading figures of the Bank of England (BoE) sat and faced many questions. Whilst there were many issues discussed, particularly with regards to the Bank’s navigation of economic waters since the referendum decision to leave the E.U., it is a comment by Monetary Policy Committee member Gertjan Vlieghe that serves as the central issue for this post. Speaking rather candidly about the strengths and weaknesses of the Bank, he alluded to a much wider issue, which has ramifications for all of society; when discussing the ability to foresee economic disasters, Vlieghe said ‘we are probably not going to forecast the next financial crisis, or forecast the next recession. Our models are just not that good’. The results of the Committee’s hearings relay similar messages, like that delivered by Andy Haldane, the BoE’s Chief Economist, who stated that ‘we know that people find risk hard to understand; I find risk hard to understand’ – which is an incredible admission by one of the foremost economists in the country. But, this post will shy away from attacking economists, for the moment at least, and turn the focus towards the political elite. What we will see is that the political elite serve to function for the public via the economy (and consequently via economic thought), which may be termed as ‘economic empiricism’, as we shall see shortly.
Andy Haldane has been on somewhat of a campaign to speak as candidly as possible about the state of the economic profession. In January of this year he stated that not being able to foresee economic catastrophes like the Financial Crisis fundamentally affects the trust afforded to the profession, and that the economic models adopted failed to account for ‘irrational behaviour’ in the modern economy (which is demonstrable of the constraints of the discipline, although these constraints are rarely taken into account). This is undoubtedly true, but there is merit in attempting to ‘flip’ our focus, all the while remaining highly critical of the economic profession for its part in inflating and then rarely warning about the explosion – something which is beginning to define the modern era. For example, in the Committee hearings Jacob Rees-Mogg MP suggested that the bank should be more careful with its predictions, and that they should not present them as a ‘holy writ’ – this is true that the BoE has a certain responsibility and should take great care in administering information, but a critical question is this: ‘why should we accept, point blank, what the BoE say?’ In reality, we do not accept what they say irrefutably because, as the public are the ones who actually live within society, we assimilate information based upon a number of factors which are personal to us. The Government, however, do not do this to anywhere near the same degree; their reliance upon economics, as a discipline, to inform many areas of life which have no direct link to economics in reality, is almost absolute. This phenomenon has been referred to as ‘Economic Empiricism’ and has been debated for a long time, but essentially refers to the economic analyses of seemingly non-economic parts of life, with the approach having an almost devouring nature to it.
An analysis that may even get close to assessing the vast literature on this topic is far beyond the scope of this post, but an interesting piece by Professor Ben Fine makes note of the almost ‘colonial’ nature of economic empiricism, implying that it has long since had the capacity to colonise other social sciences. Continuing, Fine describes how there is an almost paradoxical element to the understanding because the nature of the economic discipline, traditionally, it to rely heavily upon its ‘sacrosanct’ methods without the necessary reflection and development, which is paradoxical because as the effect of this empiricism grows, i.e. the range of opportunities and the development of society accelerates as a result of its adoption, its potential for developing a well-rounded and considered approach fundamentally decreases. This fundamentally-encroaching development of what Fine labels as a focus on ‘utility maximisation’, above all else, has been described, and in the case of Nobel prize-winner Gary Becker accepted, as being akin to ‘Economic Imperialism’, as it continues to envelop the study of key elements of society like education, crime, and the core of society, the family as a unit. As this analysis cannot do justice to the study of this phenomenon, it will steer clear at this juncture, but in positioning this understanding it will be important to demonstrate the real-world demonstration of this.
In an earlier post in Financial Regulation Matters, we saw how newly-elected President Donald Trump is filling his cabinet with the elite members of the financial industry, which demonstrates the infiltration at the top levels of government by economically-trained individuals who are tasked with governing multiple elements of society. In the U.K., the Governmental Cabinet is littered with those who have studied Economics (in one form or another) including, but not restricted to: Jeremy Hunt; Liz Truss; Philip Hammond; Amber Rudd; Justine Greening; Greg Clarke; Sajid Javid; and Priti Patel. These cabinet members are in charge of areas like Health, Justice, and International Development, but it is clear to see that there is a theme running through their ideological development.
So, whilst the infiltration of economic thought is pervasive in the most influential governments, the question needs to be asked of what effect this is having. The earlier admissions by Vlieghe should demonstrate for us that economic thought is far from infallible, and in fact can be quite destructive if left unchecked – we already saw in a previous post that the effect upon society of this destructive element is now tangible, with an unforgivable spike in mortality being directly linked to the austerity measures put in place to protect against the impact of this inward-looking thought process. The purpose of this post is not to lambaste Economists, because to do so would be to miss the point entirely. Economic thought helps to expand society and deliver opportunities and a quality of life which has never been seen before in human history, but relying on that thought-process whilst simultaneously reducing the role of other disciplines is a certain way to invoke societal disasters. What is required is simple in theory, but would take a momentous change in consciousness – what is required is the increase in influence of other socially-concerned disciplines like sociology, law, politics, criminology, geography, and many more. This would increase the consideration afforded to policies that go on to effect society in every manner possible, but the crux of the matter is this – such consideration does not generate money, it generates well-being, and in this era that equation simply does not make sense to those that can initiate such change. Western society, at least, is responding to being attacked by finance by electing those who value economic thought above all else, which is an approach that is highly unlikely to bring about the security many claim they want.

Recent scholarly papers that have asserted that the premarital cohabitation effect has gone away among people who got married in the past 10 to 15 years relied upon the notion that as living together before marriage became normalized it would cease to be tied to negative outcomes in marriage, perhaps because of less stigma among family and friends, Stanley and Rhoades explained.
But Rosenfeld and Roesler's study disputes that theory, which also notes that the risks of living together before marriage were even higher among those who had cohabited with more partners than only their mate before marriage.
Although precise causes are debated and difficult to pin down, couples who go straight into marriage without living together have a larger immediate shock to negotiate after marriage and thus have a short-term increased risk greater than those already living together, they argue.
The study reaffirming the increased chances of divorce for couples who live together before marriage comes amid other data revealing that in the U.S., approximately 40 percent of births happen outside of marriage, a 10 percent increase from 1970, according to an annual U.N. Population Fund report released Wednesday.

Although nowadays many multitouch devices are available, there are very few multiplayer games, which can be played together on one device. The project Let's Tilt is a cooperative game, which is played by two players on a multitouch device. The application challenges the players to reach a common goal in playful and entertaining way. Let's Tilt is an advancement of a popular game for mobile devices, where the player controls a virtual ball on the display of the device by tilting the device. Or, to be more accurate: a tilt of the device changes the gravity of the virtual world and the ball reacts accordingly. In ‚let's tilt‘ the virtual world contains various dangers, like gaps, where the ball falls down or flying objects, which will knock the ball off his track and into the gaps. The goal of the game is to bring the ball to a certain target. If the ball falls down into a gap, the round is lost. The next round starts with the ball in it's original position. While player one tilts the device in order to control the ball, player two is given a tools, which he can use to avert dangers or to get the ball to its destination more efficiently. These tools are controlled by moving two fingers on the touch surface.

Sensitive, fast, and precise UPLC-MS/MS analytical method was validated for the identification and quantification of the anticoagulant rivaroxaban (RIV) in pharmaceutical dosage form, using a full factorial design for robustness assessment. Chromatographic separation was achieved in 3.5 min on a C18 Zorbax Eclipse Plus (rapid resolution HD) Agilent® column at isocratic elution mode. Ultra pure water adjusted to pH 4.0 with ammonium hydroxide and ACN (63:37), both phases containing 0.1 % formic acid, was used at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Detection of RIV was carried out with a quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer detector equipped with an electrospray ionization source which was applied on positive mode. Internal standard substance was used to ensure small variations between analyses. Validation parameters were evaluated and the results found within acceptable ranges. Linearity was evaluated from 1.0 – 50.0 μg/mL, presenting a mean of 0.9970 (r2). Relative standard deviation was within 2.57 % to intra and inter-day, and relative error for accuracy ranged from -0.16 % to 1.85 %. The four factors selected to evaluate method robustness by a full factorial design were flow rate, injection volume, column temperature, and ACN concentration; the responses were found to be not significant for RIV quantification. The proposed UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully validated regarding linearity, specificity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy and robustness, allowing fast and reliable analysis of RIV along with multiple compounds (impurities and degradation products) simultaneously, affording the use of a hyphenated technique in quality control studies.

--After being convicted of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the drug-induced death of pop star Michael Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years in prison, which will be served in the Los Angeles country jail.
There was a lot of speculation going into the sentencing hearing about whether or not the judge would sentence Michael Jackson’s former personal doctor to jail time. Because of prison overcrowding in California, many felt that Dr. Murray wouldn’t be sentenced to state prison time, but rather be under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles county jail system, which is also woefully overcrowded.
Several legal experts predicted Dr. Murray would end up serving his pending sentence either at home on house arrest or be sentenced to probation. Others took the judge’s decision to remand Dr. Murray to jail to await sentencing as an indication that he would hand down a prison sentence.

Bobby the Handyman is back with his gigantic RV. I posted a review on yelp. Search Bobby’s Handyman. Will take it down if he vacates the neighborhood. Imagine if a dozen RVs were parked on Lakeshore.

Its incredible this is continued to be allowed. Our City streets and parking lots are not a RV park. Pays no property taxes. Parks illegally parking enforcement 238-3099. Business license please contact code enforcement 238-3381. Where are they dumping there human waste and trash? City trash cans storm drains?
This is a 3-hour parking zone and this "Dolphin" vehicle takes up 3 spaces all day (and night), visitors complain they can't find parking. Can he not be ticked because he doesn't have a license plate?
I am guessing no Calif license plates = no insurance = no drivers license. Maybe we can trade these free loaders for migrants looking for a better life and willing to follow the rules.

Traditionally it is believed St Patrick founded a bishopric in Duleek c.450 AD and St Cianán became the first Bishop in 489 AD. The town of Duleek takes its name from the Irish Daimh liag, meaning house of stones. Nearby is the early church of St Cianán, claimed to be the first stone church in Ireland, but there are certainly early stone churches in Ireland than his particular ruin. A Pre-Norman Church was built on the site of St Mary's Abbey. This monastery was raided by Vikings in 830 and again in 1149. The body of Brian Boru lay in state here in 1014 on it's way to Armagh after the Battle of Clontarf.
In 1180 Hugh de Lacy, the Anglo-Norman Lord granted the church and lands to the Augustinians. It was at this time the monastery was reconstituted as St Mary's Abbey. What remains of the Abbey today is the 13th century southern arcade with a 14th century southern aisle. In the east gable of the aisle is a 16th century window. To the west is a 15th century bell-tower. Inside the aisle are a 15th century tomb and a 17th century box-tomb. Located between the arcades are the head and base of a 10th century high cross and the effigial tomb slab of James Cusack, Bishop of Meath 1679-1688, pictured above. To the north of the abbey is a small but complete High Cross. In the north wall of the medieval belfry is the scar or shadow of a round tower.
Situated: From Drogheda take the R152 south after approx 7 kilometres take a left at the fork in the road, sign posted Duleek, take a right turn at the small green in the centre of the town, the abbey is behind the Spire restaurant.

What is the white crust that builds up on my shower head?
High calcium and magnesium levels will result in hard water that, upon drying out, will leave a white crust. High sodium levels (from salt) may also show this effect.

Why I did this I’m not really sure. Something drove me something powerful and awful at the same time. Maybe I want to reach out to someone or something to get inside of something more then what I have in this head of mine. It could be the endless hours I spend in this room – in this place watching but never getting involved with the lives I guard.
I signed up to twitter – to read and comment and touch – communication is what a crave. Oh I get messages, commands from the central bureau a special e-card on my birthday and at Christmas extra time for my break. It is just not enough to keep me sane – and I think they know that.
I intercepted an email the other day – it mentioned this site www.twitter.com and tempted me to go to it. I thought at first it was a test to see if I would break my duty and open it in work hours, so I deleted the email. It took me almost half my designated rest period to remember the site. Then, when I found it, all manner of wonder was open to me. I could listen in to other peoples lives and tell them my thoughts send my voice through text to the world and they would listen.
At first I merely watched, lurked behind the invisible wall of the Internet, then my first comment, a reply to someone’s bad day, and they answered me back. I had a voice and people heard me.
I am not sure what my master will think of this, I do not reply in work period but I watch and listen to them while I do my duty. Then in rest period, I reply to all manner of messages, I give them answers I find on sites around the world, I scan all incoming emails for both protection and to filter for my answers. I want to help my friends, yes they call me their friend.
I have never been asked how I was or even where I come from (so many places – I usually reply with ‘all over’) I am treated as an equal as a human being and not just a watcher.
My twitter account is http://twitter.com/DrDalim and hopefully you get me (the real me) but I cannot promise you.

Day two was more challenging because the difficult part of the trekk was just about to begin . We got up as early as possible and started the hike. As we wanted to cover as much distance before the sun came out. The peak was further 9kms ahead . As one of our team mate started to feel the pains in his knees . We had to take breaks and ensure that he was catching up and was feeling okay. We had packed ourselves chapathis from Subrahmanya on the previous day as there would be no breakfast at bhatramane so early in the morning.we left the camp site around 6am . The chilling wind was blowing with such force it was difficult at times to get the balance. we get few good spots on the way to the peak like kallu Mantapa which is almost at the 1/4th of the trek completion. We had refreshments and started the hike again. From here the trail gets steeper and difficult . The air gets thinner and becomes little difficult to breathe and the steepness will lead us to slip while hiking. One has to be prepared mentally from here to climb. Around 10:30 we reached the first peak that is the Sheshaparvatha which resembles a serpant with its hood open gaurding the holy place of kukke.
Many of the trekkers come up to here exhausted and think this is the final point and return. But there is more . One needs to hike approximately half an hour more to reach the destination i.e kumaraparvata peak. The place Sheshaparvatha has some spectacular views and many iconic photography spots. But one has to be careful if you are going towards the edge of few rocks to.click pics as the wind will pull you and it's difficult to get the balance . After crossing all.this we finally made it to kumara parwata peak . We waited all of our team members to reach the peak. And we lydown there for sometime enjoying the cool breeze and mostly because our legs were sore.
By 2:00pm we had descended and reached bhatramane. We had nice lunch and filled out energy bars and started towards kukke Subrahmanya. We had kept our tents and sleeping bags at bhatramane because carrying it all the way till the peak would be really difficult. We took half an hour power nap and started to trekk down to Subrahmanya town.
It was around 2:30 when we started coming down. One can say easily though climbing down looks easy it isn't. Trust me most of the injuries happen while descending the mountain. One has to be very careful about where his next step would be.we reached the town Subrahmanya around 5:30 and had hot coffee and golibaje.
As soon as the snacks were done we rushed towards the bus station . The last direct bus to Mangalore was around 6pm . Or else one has to go to Gundya and catch a bus to Mangalore.
Sunset after climbing almost 6kms on first day.
One of the many small peaks on the way.
It was the starting of the even sem in engineering college. Me and my firends had no interest in attending the college on the first day. The long wish to go on a trekking was shaping up nicely and we finally decided kumaraparvata instead of kodachadri. It was a group of 9 enthusiastic guys u set on a mission to climb the mighty kumaraparvata. We started around 11am from Mangalore. We took a government bus to Subrahmanya . The bus usually takes 2-2.5 hours depends on the bus and the route taken by the bus. It was around 2:30 when we reached the base that is the holy kukke Subrahmanya town. We had our lunch in new Mysore cafe and filled all the essential requried for the next two days. Around 3:30pm we were on the trail of kumaraparvata . But first we had to reach bhatramane a midpoint where we could halt for the night. Bhatramane is around 6.5kms from the base point of the trekk. The trekk started with not so steep paths and gradually it was difficult with all the luggage and the path becoming steeper plus the scroching summer sun above our heads. As we headed deep into the forest the trees gave us shade . We took several small breaks to catch our breathe. As we encountered many people returning from the trekk advising us to reach soon as it wouldn't get dark. And finally around 6:45pm we made it to bhatramane where we freshned up and had nice dinner and went to sleep.

And finally around 6:45pm we made it to bhatramane where we freshned up and had nice dinner and went to sleep.
We reached Mangalore around 9pm that night . The whole trekking experience was surreal. At one point we were about to quit in between seeing few of the guys backing out because of health issues and tiredness the team spirit was so high that it always pushed us to complete the hike and reach the peak.
This peak which lies in the pushpagiri range is one of the toughest in Karnataka . The total distance is around 29kms . So be very prepared before u start climbing this as there is nothing literally nothing in between the forest for your assistance. Carry lots and lots of water and food .one can also fill them.at bhtaramane or forest checkpost.
Few snaps from the Hike.
Never ending paths enroute KP.
We had to split up as the pace of each person differed as we went further.
The trail goes on and on and on.

Editors Note: Astute readers will recognise that the Jacaranda and the other plants mentioned here are not Australian natives. It doesn't matter!!! This story is a testimony to one woman's determination against flood, frost, fire, drought, offspring, friends, livestock and miscellaneous machinery. And the Laws of Gardening formulated by Geoff will be found to be just as universal and immutable as anything postulated by Newton and Einstein!
It was 1950 and times were changing. We were even moving to a new home. It was right beside the Hume Highway so the front garden would have to be a showpiece. And it was: pink masses of "Dorothy Perkins" roses scrambled over the bush timber pergola which framed the front gate; brightly coloured annuals bordered a small patch of green lawn and the front door was flanked by two deep purple hyderangeas which contrasted nicely with the natural white of the fibro walls. In fact all went well - except for the jacaranda.
Now jacarandas were uncommon in that part of the New South Wales Southern Highlands although they succeeded if planted in a favourable spot and given frost protection for the first few years. My mother longed for a jacaranda; it would be the garden's crowning glory. She raised one from seed and planted it near the front fence where, in the fullness of time, passing truck drivers would be stunned by its purple magnificence.
When the first winter came I was made custodian of the jacaranda with the awesome responsibility of covering it each night. I started off quite well, remembering consistently even if I sometimes had to sneak out in my pyjamas. Then one fateful, starry night in mid July I forgot. The morning revealed a sparkling frost and a sort of jellied jacaranda which turned black to match the family mood. Its replacement fared no better. It suffered a violent end under the wheels of a motorbike which strayed from the driveway in mysterious cicumstances.
" The fourth jacaranda survived a drought and even the bushfire of New Year's Day 1957 which burned down the house next door....."
Jacaranda number 3 flourished for more than two years and was over a metre high in the sunmmer of '55. They one day I set out to mow the yard with our primative rotary mower equipped with home made blades fashioned from angle iron. I was sure I could get a little closer to the jacaranda and made another pass. It keeled over like a stalk of paspalum, cleanly and finally severed. The fourth jacaranda survived a drought and even the bushfire of New Year's Day 1957 which burned down the house next door and consumed our paddocks, back garden and woodheap. Unfortunately the fire deprived Lucy the goat of her grass so she made an unauthorised visit to the front garden and ate the jacaranda.
Jacaranda the fifth made a promising start but I got married and left the district while my mother moved to a smaller house on the other side of town. She kept her eye on it for a couple of years but it had not flowered when the new owners pulled it out to make way for a swimming pool. Meanwhile, at her new place jacaranda mark VI went in by the front fence. A few years later a wet spell saw the front yard submerged for a week. The jacaranda bravely waved its crown above the flood but as the waters receeded it turned a sickly yellow and died. In spite of improved drainage, two more met a similar fate. For the first time mother's enthusiasm waned and the great jacaranda project faltered.
Then as she walked along her own street one day she saw a purple vision; a jacaranda flowering in a neighbour's garden. She took up the struggle with renewed vigour and planted another. Alas! It was accidently composted by a helpful friend during a cleanup of her yard. Assorted disasters befell three more in the following years.
"Finally a sheltered corner of the orchard helped jacaranda mark XIII to survive the crucial years and the long awaited flowers burst forth."
Finally a sheltered corner of the orchard helped jacaranda mark XIII to survive the crucial years and the long awaited flowers burst forth. Mother did not see them....she was in hospital recovering from eye surgery. But, a year later in 1984, she was able to enjoy seeing her very own jacaranda in flower just 34 years after she planted the first one!!!
Why this tale of aboricultural tragedy and triumph over adversity? It is an illustration of Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will". It seems that this fundamental law of nature was first stated by Ed Murphy in 1949, just one year before my mother planted her first jacaranda. Ed was a development engineer at Edwards Airforce Base, USA when Col.J.F.Strapp was doing crash research involving hair raising rides on his rocket sled. Starting with engineering, Murphy's Law has been applied to an expanding range of activities.
Numerous articles and books have been written about Murphy's Law but its relevance to gardening has received scant attention to my knowledge. Now, as the jacaranda story shows, the Law certainly applies to gardening. So to assist gardeners of the future to avoid pitfalls, I have formulated some special laws based on years of bitter experience.
Murphy's Law (Common Version): If anything can go wrong, it will.
Murphy's Law (Academic Version): There exists a universal propensity for phenomena to diverge from the optimum.
The Jacaranda Principle: If anything goes wrong in your garden, it goes wrong with your favourite plant.
The Perversity Paradox: The plant you want to grow the most is the one that is the most difficult to grow in your garden.
Joneses' Law: A shrub that is vigorous and showy in your neighbour's garden will turn out scrawny and dull in yours.
Bragger's Rule: Your best flowers will finish just before the flower show or will reach perfection just afterwards.
O'Clarke's Law: The heaviest frost of the winter will occur on the first night that you forget to cover a tender plant.
The Shrivel Principle: When you omit to water your pot plant, there will be a heatwave.
The Rainfall Rule: Rainfall is concentrated on weekends and public holidays.
Noah's Hypothesis: The planting of a new garden will be followed by a flood unless there is a drought.
The Phantom Breeze Enigma: If spraying is carried out in calm conditions, weedkiller will be blown towards the shrubs but insecticide will be blown back in your face.
Falling apples, branches of trees always land where they will do the most damage.
A cricket ball will attain maximum velocity as it hits the glasshouse.
A moving milkman will continue in the same direction no matter what botanical treasure lies in his path.
Junior's Theorem: The shortest distance between two points is across the rockery.
Young Helper's Axiom: Nice plants are easier to pull out than weeds.
The Tracey Theory: A game of chasings in the dark has the same effect on the garden as a cyclone.
Lucy's Law: Stray livestock will always eat the most desirable plant first.
The Catastrophe Theory: Cats find newly planted seed beds superior to kitty litter.
Canine Corrollary: Dogs find lovely plants superior to lamp posts.
Weeds can never be eradicated, only changed in form.
Weeds are hardier than wanted plants.
Weeds multiply to fill the space available.
All pests prefer desirable plants to weeds.
For every pest you can see there are a hundred you can't.
If the bugs don't get it, the fungus will.
Type I: Dwarf eucalypts will turn out to be forest giants.
Type II: Windbreak plants will turn out to be prostrate varieties.
Type III: The unusual form with large crimson flowers will turn out to be the common form with insignificant white flowers.
Geoffrey's Law of Mowing: A little bit closer is too close.
Pobble's Rule: Never mow in bare feet or thongs.
The Clunk Rule: Never stoke a mulcher with a metal implement.
The Geyser Principle: Underground water pipes are found where you least expect them.
Reprinted from the September 1987 issue of the newsletter of SGAP's Canberra Region.
The Hume Highway is the main connecting route between Sydney and Melbourne. Even in the 1950s-60s, it was a busy road carrying many interstate transport vehicles.
The "Tracey" reference recalls "Cyclone Tracey" which devestated Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory on Christmas Day, 1974.
Now, with just a little effort we could build up the definitive collection of Murphy's Laws of Gardening and Related Activities! Readers are invited to submit additional rules and corrolories that they may have observed...in the garden, in nurseries, while propagating, while pruning, while composting, while photographing. ..well, you get the idea!
What law governs the loss of a finger while pruning? Is there a relationship between the use of Band-Aids and the number of cuttings produced? Is there a rule governing the life span of a plant and the distance from the nursery that produced it?
What about The Inverse Square Law of Light, a rather long one; "The quantity of light falling on a surface decreases in proportion to the square of the distance from the source, except in photography where light either decreases on increases with distance depending on which is less convenient."

Some of the more than 50 people who once attended the Washington Ward in the Washington, D.C., area stand in the front of the chapel, which is now owned by the Unification Church.
In a Sunday evening fireside, there were heartfelt and sometimes misty eyed remembrances of how the ward and its members, now “friends forever,” had been such a welcome and life-changing anchor in the midst of new and challenging surroundings.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A group of friends who last met for a sacrament meeting in the former Washington Ward in downtown Washington, D.C., 36 years ago recently gathered for a reunion in the area.
Many of them attended the ward as young single adults. The reunion included dinners, local tours, slide shows and a visit to the original chapel, now owned by the Unification Church.
The chapel had included many works of art, such as stained glass windows depicting both old and new world scenes of Jesus Christ and other motifs, and a tile mosaic by Mahonri Young, situated over the front entrance, depicting the Sermon on the Mount.
Since the chapel was sold, there have been many changes in the building. A number of interior additions and restructuring have made it a far different place than when the members attended years ago.
More than 50 former ward members who had been part of the ward in the late 1960s and early 1970s attended the reunion. There was a large contingent who still live in the D.C. area, but several came from distant states, including Ohio, Tennessee, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, California and Washington. They had come to Washington as students, congressional staff members and a variety of other reasons.
A number of singles had met their spouses in the ward and shared their gratitude for that and other spiritual and positive experiences. The reunion became another memorable experience for all who attended and added to their special association with the original Washington Ward.

Some 70 gay and lesbian politicians and activists from across the country huddled Saturday to plan the gay rights movement's course.
They quickly agreed on one thing: Even after unprecedented electoral success, it's no time to get complacent.
"This is not a time for sitting back and saying things are great," said Bob Ebersole, Massachusetts' director of municipal management. "It's a time for working even harder."
For starters, they said they`ll press President-elect Bill Clinton to keep campaign pledges to appoint an AIDS policy "czar" and increase funding, and to lift the ban on gays in the military.
They discussed a possible economic boycott in Colorado, where voters this month banned local governments from enacting gay-rights laws. That vote rescinded laws in Denver, Boulder and Aspen.
And they pledged a huge lobbying effort in the next two years for a federal civil rights law that would prohibit discrimination against gays in employment, housing, public accommodations and government services. The proposal, similar to existing protections for racial minorities and the disabled, has yet to get to a vote in Congress.
Such a federal law would give gays minimum protections that states and cities could only extend.
Monday in Charlotte, the city council may reject a proposal to expand a local anti-discrimination law for public establishments to cover sexual orientation. More than 100 U.S. cities - including Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh - already have similar laws.
Delegates to the eighth annual conference of gay and lesbian officials talked of such high goals after this month`s election boosted the ranks of openly gay elected officials to 75, the most ever.
They include two Congress members from Massachusetts and 10 state and 63 local officeholders. Among them: Chapel Hill Town Council member Joe Herzenberg, the only openly gay elected official in the Carolinas.
Gay officials also expect unprecedented access to the new Clinton administration based on their support - 9 in 10 gay votes, according to one estimate. A national coalition of gay and lesbian groups is compiling candidates for jobs inside the Clinton administration.
"Now comes reality - from being a special-interest group to being a team player," said William Waybourn, executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund in Washington. "That means responsibility. I`m not sure we know how to handle that. There`s no blueprint to follow."
Speakers on a panel on the meaning of Clinton's election debated how gays should wield their power after 12 years outside the loop during Republican rule.
"It was very easy to deal with George Bush - all we had to say was he was wrong because he usually was," said Eric Rosenthal, political director of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, the main gay political lobby in Washington.
With Clinton, he said, "We need to learn when to ask, when to demand, when to praise, when to criticize. . . . We need to see Bill Clinton not as a panacea, but as an important next step in advancing our community`s agenda." Still, some warned that success will breed a backlash: more anti-gay amendments from U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., more ballot measures like the one in Colorado, and the one in Oregon, rejected by voters, that denounced homosexuality as "abnormal and perverse."
Justin, a Camp Lejeune Marine sergeant who heads a three-month-old N.C. military gay rights group, told delegates there's been a "big increase in homophobia" since Clinton last week reaffirmed his commitment to end the ban on gays in the military. He didn't want his last name used.
"We want to make sure it does not translate into physical gay-bashing," he said later.
CHAPEL HILL - If someone had asked Joe Herzenberg 12 years ago to predict what three Republican administrations and a growing AIDS epidemic would do to the gay rights movement, his answer would have been grim.
"Unmitigated disaster," said Herzenberg, a Chapel Hill Town Council member and North Carolina's only openly gay elected official.
- The ranks of elected officials who acknowledge their gay and lesbian sexual preference grew by almost 20 percent - from 64 to 75 nationwide, the most in U.S. history.
- Both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, during their nomination acceptance speeches, promised more money for AIDS research.
- Oregon voters defeated a referendum that generated virulently anti-gay sentiment.
- And in January, when Bill Clinton takes office, he has promised to eliminate the ban against homosesuals in the military.
"The movement has flourished," Herzenberg said. "Gays and lesbians - and our agenda - have become part of mainstream politics."
This weekend, Herzenberg will play host to a national conference of more than 75 gay and lesbian elected and appointed officials from around the country who will gather in Chapel Hill to assess where the movement is and where it is heading.
Not to mention celebrate, added William Waybourn, national director of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund in Washington, D.C.
"How wonderful, said Waybourn. "We're getting together in Jesse Helms' back yard to talk about how Jesse Helms' world is shrinking."
The conference, to be held at the Carolina Inn on the University of North Carolina campus, will feature panels and speeches on running for office, raising money, battling conservatives and mobilizing the gay community for marches and demonstrations.

The microbiology of stream water has a seasonal component that results from both biogeochemical and anthropogenic processes. Analysis of nonevent conditions in streams entering Conesus Lake, NY (USA), indicated that total coliform, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus spp. levels peak in the summer in all streams, independent of the agricultural use in the stream sub-watershed. Prior to implementation of management practices, E. coli in water draining Graywood Gully, a sub-watershed with 74% of the land in agriculture, reached as high as 2806 CFU/100 mL, exceeding the 235 CFU/100 mL EPA Designated Bathing Beach Standard (EPA-DBBS). In contrast, North McMillan Creek, a sub-watershed with b13% of its land in agriculture, had E. coli maxima generally near or below the EPA-DBBS. Graywood Gully at times had a higher microbial loading than North McMillan Creek, a sub-watershed 48 times larger in surface area. Over a 5-year study period, there was a major decrease in bacterial loading during nonevent conditions at Graywood Gully, especially after manure management practices were implemented, while bacterial loading was constant or increased in streams draining three other sub-watersheds. E. coli levels dropped more than 10 fold to levels well below the EPA-DBBS while the yearly maximum for Enterococcus dropped by a factor 2.5. Similarly, exceedency curves for both E. coli and Enterococcus also showed improvement since there were fewer days during which minimum standards were exceeded. Even so, Graywood Gully at times continued to be a major contributor of E. coli to Conesus Lake. If wildlife represents a significant source of indicator bacteria to Graywood Gully as has been reported, stream remediation, management efforts and compliance criteria will need to be adjusted accordingly.

Prenatal T leads to changes in anti-Mullerian hormone protein expression that likely accounts for the increased follicular recruitment and persistence found in this animal model of PCOS.
Almudena Veiga-Lopez, D.V.M., Ph.D., Wen Ye, Ph.D., Vasantha Padmanabhan, Ph.D.
To investigate the impact of prenatal T excess on the expression of key ovarian regulators implicated in follicular recruitment and persistence using a large animal model of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
A total of 25 female fetuses, 14 prepubertal female, and 24 adult female Suffolk sheep.
Immunohistochemical determination of expression of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), kit ligand, and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) in fetal, prepubertal, and adult ovarian tissues.
Prenatal T treatment reduced the AMH protein expression in granulosa cells (GC) of preantral follicles and increased its expression in antral follicles compared with age-matched adult controls. These differences were not evident in prepubertal animals. Protein expression of GDF9 and kit ligand was not altered at any of the developmental time points studied.
Prenatal T exposure is associated with changes in AMH expression in preantral and antral follicles in adult ovaries, similar to findings in women with PCOS. These findings indicate that abnormal folliculogenesis in PCOS may be at least in part mediated by changes in AMH expression.

Over the past few years, Gagosian Gallery, David Zwirner, Pace Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, and Michael Werner have all set up outposts in London’s Mayfair district. This summer, Joseph Nahmad will join the trend with Nahmad Projects, which will open on June 9 at 2 Cork Street.
For his London project space, Nahmad’s first ever, the young dealer will be working with Tommaso Calabro. Nahmad Projects will showcase both emerging and established artists.
Correction 03/16/2016, 10:39 a.m.: An earlier version of this article misstated the number of spaces Joseph Nahmad runs. Nahmad Projects is the first space Nahmad has opened, not the second. (Another Joseph Nahmad, the Nahmad Projects founder's cousin, runs a New York space called Nahmad Contemporary.) The post has been updated to reflect this.

My last post explained how someone or some people made their destructive marks on a culturally significant site. In so doing they were showing disdain and attempting to wipe away part of Tasmania’s aboriginal heritage. Their act sits in stark contrast to a November 2015 document, which was reported in the media a few weeks before the vandalism, that promoted inclusion rather than exclusion. Refer The Mercury article of 11 April 2016.
ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) produced a report Reactive Monitoring Mission to the Tasmanian Wilderness, Australia with many recommendations. These included: ‘The term “wilderness” should be retained in the property name, while future dual naming is strongly encouraged to reflect both the Aboriginal heritage and the relationship of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community with the property’;’The “Wilderness Zone”, as currently used and interpreted, should be retained in the zonation of the TWWHA, while explicitly providing for Aboriginal access for cultural practices as an integral part of the management of the zone’, and ‘The State Party should support and consolidate the emerging joint management of the TWWHA with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community’.
The vandal or vandals who defaced the rock art are obviously out of step with growing community attitudes of support for aboriginal heritage and understanding of the values inherent in special sites.
This entry was posted in Derwent River, Tasmania and tagged aboriginal, Australia, culturally significant site, heritage, ICOMOS, International Council on Monuments and Sites, International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN, Reactive Monitoring Mission to the Tasmanian Wilderness, rock art, wilderness on December 15, 2016 by Tasmanian traveller.
I don’t think that people who would do this would give a rat’s a@# about community attitudes, so even if they were are aware of the report it wouldn’t change their ideas.
The whole thing is so sad at every turn.
