[ "Last year I started to do Project 365 but I fell by the wayside quite early, managing to only upload 21 photos in 34 days.

[ "Carcass composition of Namaqua Afrikaner, Dorper and SA Mutton Merino ram lambs reared under extensive conditions\n\nA. BurgerI, II; L.C. HoffmanII, #; J.J.E. CloeteII, III; M. MullerI; S.W.P. CloeteII, IV\n\nIDepartment of Food Science, Stellenbosch University, Matieland 7602, South Africa\nIIDepartment of Animal Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Matieland 7602, South Africa\nIIIElsenburg Agricultural Training Institute, Private Bag X1, Elsenburg 7607, South Africa\nIVInstitute for Animal Production: Elsenburg, Elsenburg 7607, South Africa\n\nThis study evaluated the differences in the muscle-fat-bone yield of Namaqua Afrikaner (NA), Dorper (D) and SA Mutton Merino (SAMM) ram lambs. The breeds constituted an indigenous, hardy and late maturing, fat-tailed breed (NA), an early maturing, commercial meat breed (D) and a late maturing commercial dual-purpose breed (SAMM). Lambs were slaughtered at 35 (± 8) days post weaning. Carcasses were cooled for 24 h, separated into retail cuts (leg, loin, rib, and shoulder), weighed and deboned. Meat and fat were separated after deboning and weighed to calculate the muscle-fat-bone yield per cut. Least-square means were computed for the respective breeds, using slaughter age as covariate. Results for percentage meat indicate that, with exception of the rib, retail cuts from the NA breed contained a lower percentage of meat than D and SAMM breeds, particularly in the valuable loin and leg cuts. The shoulder of the NA had a lower percentage meat than that of the D. The percentage fat in retail cuts did not differ between breeds for any of the cuts. In comparison with both D and SAMM, NA contained a higher percentage bone in all cuts. Dorper and SAMM carcasses did not differ in terms of the percentage of bone, fat or muscle for any of the retail cuts. The lower meat yield, particularly in the more expensive loin and leg of the NA, when compared to the commercial meat breed (D) could make the former less preferred for meat production. However, the NA compared more favourably than the dual-purpose SAMM. Differences in carcass composition could be attributed to the fact that the NA is an unimproved and late maturing sheep breed.\n\nKeywords: Muscle-fat-bone yield, indigenous, early-maturing, late-maturing, retail cuts, sheep\n\nThe largest part of South Africa is located in either an arid or semi-arid region, limiting possible agricultural production to pastoral use (Cloete & Olivier, 2010). Due to global weather changes tending towards a drier climate in the south-western parts of South Africa, natural food resources for livestock are forecast to diminish (Turpie et al., 2002). This changing scenario is expected to result in challenges to small stock farming as far as adaptation of animals and the sustainability of farming is concerned.\n\nDuring 2011, South African sheep meat (lamb and mutton) consumption was estimated at 149 000 tons. Only 140 000 tons were produced within South Africa, clearly indicating a demand for increased and optimised sheep meat production in South Africa (DAFF, 2012; FAO, 2012). Thus, it is evident that the local animal genetic resources should be harnessed optimally to ensure sustainable sheep meat production under variable and often adverse conditions.\n\nOwing to the association between the saturated fatty acids (SFA) found in red meat and the detrimental effects of SFA on human health, consumers prefer leaner meat of younger animals (Warriss, 2000). Coronary heart disease (CHD) and certain cancers, such as colon cancer, have been linked to a high dietary intake of SFA (Higgs, 2000; Wood et al., 2003). While meat contains a combination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, consumers have made the assumption that all the fatty acids in meat are saturated, deeming red meat as unhealthy and creating a negative association with red meat consumption (Reiser & Shorland, 1990, as reviewed by Webb et al., 1994).\n\nHowever, the nutritional benefits of meat is often overlooked (Biesalski, 2005). Meat is considered as a nutrient dense source of micronutrients including selenium, vitamins A, B12 (only found in animal products) and folic acid, as well as essential amino acids and proteins with high biological value (Warriss, 2000; Biesalski, 2005). Another nutritional attribute of red meat is that it is regarded as one of the best food sources of bioavailable iron, as consumed by humans (Warriss, 1976; 2000; Lawrie & Ledward, 2006). Meat consumption should thus be balanced as part of a diverse diet, keeping cuts lean with excess fat trimmed (Higgs, 2000; Biesalski 2005).\n\nThree sheep breeds representing a wide spectrum of the local ovine genetic resource were thus studied for their lean meat production potential. These included the Namaqua Afrikaner (NA), an indigenous, hardy and late maturing, fat-tailed breed, the Dorper (D), an early-maturing, commercial meat breed and the late maturing, commercial dual-purpose South African Mutton Merino (SAMM).\n\nThe NA is well known for its ability to survive the harsh South African climate (Epstein, 1960). The ancestors of the NA can be traced back to the fat-tailed sheep owned by the northern Namaqua Khoi people and thus it is regarded as a national heritage. The NA has a slender body with long legs, well adapted for walking vast distances in search of food and water. Body fat is mostly accumulated in the fat-tail and fat deposits on the loin are minor (Epstein, 1960). Fat-tailed sheep are well known for their ability to survive in harsh environments. Instead of the subcutaneous layer of fat used for insulation, the adaptive response is to store surplus fat in the tail, with minor fat deposits in the rest of the body. The fat-tail acts as a depot for reserve fat in times of abundance and is utilised when food and water are scarce (Epstein, 1960).\n\nThe D is the largest commercially farmed meat breed in South Africa and the second largest sheep breed population overall, contributing 24% of the weaning weight records to the National Small Stock Improvement Scheme (NSIS) (Cloete & Olivier, 2010). Dorpers are early maturing sheep, showing excellent carcass characteristics, as well as adaptation to adverse environments (Webb & Casey, 1995; Brand, 2000).\n\nThe SAMM is the main dual-purpose breed (6% of the NSIS records), farmed for meat and wool (Cloete & Olivier, 2010). The SAMM has a strong, large body frame with good meat quality attributes e.g. tender meat with a reduced back-fat depth (Cloete et al., 2005). It is a late maturing breed and thus meat of the SAMM should have less fat than that of the D if slaughtered at the same chronological age (Van der Westhuizen, 2010).\n\nThe main objective of the study was to assess the indigenous, unimproved NA against the two commercial breeds (D and SAMM) in terms of the quantity of meat yielded.\n\nMaterials and Methods\n\nTwenty nine male lambs of the NA (n = 13), D (n = 10) and SAMM (n = 6) breeds were randomly selected from the flock on the Nortier Experimental farm (32°02' S and 18°20' E), situated in the West Coast Strandveld, South Africa. The area's typical weather can be described as Mediterranean, with hot dry summers and cold winters. About 76% of the total long-term annual precipitation of 221 mm is recorded during winter (April - September) (Cloete et al., 2005). Vegetation on the Nortier Experimental farm is type 34 - Strandveld as described by Acocks (1988), to which the lambs had ad libitum access.\n\nLambs were slaughtered according to standard South African procedures (Hoffman et al, 2003) at 35 (± 8) days post weaning, averaging slaughter weight of 17 kg for both D (± 2.31) and SAMM (± 2.14) and 10 kg (± 2.27) for NA. Thirty minutes after slaughtering, dressing and evisceration, the carcasses were weighed to obtain hot carcass weight (HCW). After being cooled down for 24 h (4 °C) the kidneys and channel fat were removed and weighed to obtain cold carcass weight. The carcasses were divided into the four retail cuts (leg, loin, rib, shoulder). The entire carcass of each lamb was analysed. Each retail cut (x 2 per carcass) was weighed and deboned. Meat and fat were separated by dissection and weighed. From these results muscle-fat-bone percentage yield was calculated as the weight of the tissue expressed as a percentage of the cold dressed carcass weight. It is important that the correct analytical method is used to assess muscle-fat-bone yield in sheep. Since only minor fat deposits are expected in the loin of the NA, the composition of the three-rib cut would not be an accurate reflection of the NA carcass.\n\nAn analysis of variance involving the general linear models (GLM) procedure of SAS (2002) was conducted on the different traits (percentage bone, percentage meat and percentage fat). Least square means (LSM) values were calculated and used to correct for the unbalanced data. R-square Type III P-values were used to test for significant differences. Results were corrected with slaughter age (153 ± 12 days) as covariant and a significance level of 95% was used as basis for all calculations.\n\nResults and Discussion\n\nNo differences (P >0.05) were found between the breeds for percentage of fat and percentage of bone, when comparing the results of the complete carcasses (Table 1). This concurs with previous research where no differences were found between D and SAMM carcasses in terms of percentage bone and fat yield (W ebb & Casey, 1995). Results for percentage meat indicated that the carcass of the NA contained less (P <0.05) meat than D and SAMM carcasses. No differences (P >0.05) were found between the D and SAMM carcasses.", "The percentage muscle, fat or bone of the retail cuts did not differ (P >0.05) between the D and SAMM (Table 2). With the exception of the rib, the retail cuts of the NA had a lower (P <0.05) percentage meat compared to the retail cuts of the D or SAMM (Table 2). The observed breed difference was particularly striking in the most expensive loin cut, where the NA contained substantially less meat (44.9 ± 1.29%; P <0.05) than both the D (52.8 ± 1.45%) and the SAMM (50.5 ± 1.92%). The percentage of meat in the leg of the NA (61.4 ± 0.88%) was also lower (P <0.05) than the D (68.0 ± 1.00%) leg cut, but compared favourably (P >0.05) to the SAMM (65.3 ± 1.32%) leg cut. The shoulder of the NA (45.3 ± 1.18%) had a lower (P <0.05) percentage of meat than that of the D (50.3 ± 1.41%). The SAMM was intermediate and not significantly (P >0.05) different from either of the other breeds for this cut (Table 2). This is according to expectations, as the late maturing NA will have a lower percentage muscle than the early maturing D at the same chronological age and should be similar to the late maturing SAMM with regards to meat yield.", null, "Fat content of the different cuts were the only trait where no differences between the three breeds were found (Table 2), indicating that none of the breeds have reached maturity and that the fattening phase has not yet set in (Berg & Butterfield, 1968).\n\nEven though no differences for percentage bone were found on comparison of the entire carcass (Table 1), differences were found on analysis of the separate retail cuts. In comparison with both the D and SAMM, the NA contained a higher (P <0.05) percentage of bone in all of the retail cuts (Table 2). Again, this is according to expectations, as the late maturing NA should have a higher percentage bone than the early maturing D at the same chronological age. However, it was expected that the NA would be more similar to the late maturing SAMM. When considering the results it is important to bear in mind that no selection for economically important traits have been done on the NA and that the breed has not been genetically bred for meat production as both D and SAMM were (Epstein, 1960; De Waal & Combrinck, 2000; Sheridan et al., 2003; Buduram, 2004).\n\nMost of the differences in physical composition between the D and NA can be qualified by the fact that the D is early maturing and the NA late maturing (Epstein, 1960; Webb & Casey, 1995). Carcass composition can be described as the ratio to which the main tissues (muscle, fat, and bone) are found in a sheep carcass (Berg & Butterfield, 1968). Breed, age, nutrition and weight all affect the development of these tissues and their ratio relative to carcass weight (Berg & Butterfield, 1968). Development of different tissues/limbs/organs takes place in different stages, broadly sequenced chronologically as: central nervous system; bone; muscle; fat (Lawrie & Ledward, 2006). Although these stages progress simultaneously, the rate of development of each stage depends on its role in and importance to the survival of the animal.\n\nAccording to Lawrie & Ledward (2006), the entire development process takes place in a shorter timespan for early maturing breeds than for late maturing breeds, indicating that the muscle : bone ratio of an early maturing breed should be higher than that of a late maturing breed at the same chronological age, until physiological maturity is reached by both. Furthermore, bone development takes preference over muscle and fat development (Lawrie & Ledward, 2006). The percentage of bone in the carcass will be higher at birth than at any other given time and the percentage of fat the lowest (Berg & Butterfield, 1968). As development continues the ratio of bone to carcass weight decreases while muscle ratio increases, and thus the muscle to bone ratio increases with an increase in carcass weight. Muscle tissue has the highest growth rate between birth and maturity (Berg & Butterfield, 1968). As maturity is reached the percentage of muscle to carcass weight will start to decrease as the percentage of fat starts to increase (fattening phase) (Berg & Butterfield, 1968). Thus it can be deduced that differences in the physical composition of certain cuts will be present, as influenced by age and degree of fatness (Lawrie & Ledward, 2006).\n\nOnly the rib-cut of the NA does not follow the expected pattern of comparison between late/early maturing breeds. Although NA contains a higher percentage of bone than the D and the SAMM (Table 2), it compares well in terms of percentage meat with the other breeds. Differences in genetics and the size of cuts should be recognised here as possible explanation (Epstein, 1960; Berg & Butterfield, 1968). Buduram (2004) noted that the NA breed shows very little polymorphism and is the most genetically different from the other indigenous and developed breeds, including the D.\n\nMason & Maule (1960) have noted that a 20 kg NA carcass can be reached at 12 - 18 months of age. Together with the differences in percentage of meat (loin cut) and bone yield between the NA and also late maturing SAMM, it could be indicative of an even longer development cycle of the NA carcass. From the high percentage of bone and low percentage of muscle in the NA carcass it can be expected that the NA is still growing bone and has not fully started with muscle development when slaughtered in the present study (Berg & Butterfield, 1968; Lawrie & Ledward, 2006).\n\nClimate change may constrain the contribution of commercial sheep breeds such as the D and SAMM in future, as constraints on food sources limit growth and development of animals, especially when not adapted to harsh conditions. With consumer preferences and purchase intent changing towards food products beneficial to health, lean meat is sought after thereby creating the possibility of marketing the leaner meat of the NA as such. The NA did not compare well with the D for meat yield, but despite its carcass being smaller and containing a higher percentage bone than the SAMM carcass, it performed better against the SAMM in terms of meat yield. Future research involving crossbreeding may elucidate the possibility of combining the hardiness of the NA with early maturity in the D and meat quality in the SAMM.\n\nThe authors would like to thank the Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme (THRIP) and the University of Stellenbosch for their financial assistance.

[ "Sierra Stinson is a Northern California native and independent curator.  Sierra is the youngest of three, doesn't drink coffee and sings 'and she was' by Talking Heads at karaoke monthly.. She is the founder and co-curator of Vignettes Gallery and has co-curated and produced the art fair satellite Out of Sight 2015-2016, ONN/OF: A Light Festival, Show & Tell (NYC), NEPO 5k Don't Run 2012-2015, and City Arts Festival 2011-2012.\n\nSierra is the Art Director of Seattle-made clothing company Prairie Underground, and has worked to provide spaces for under-represented artists to exhibit in the Pacific Northwest since 2010.\n\nSerrah Russell is a Seattle-based visual artist and independent enabler of artists. Her practice is a constant exploration of the photographic image and its ability to evoke memory, emotion and association. Russell uses instant film, found imagery and digital photography to create works of collage, sculpture and video that alter the original intention of the source material. In her work Russell seeks to encourage empathy, to evoke the feeling of being in the right place at the right time, and to recall the déjà_vu of a dream.\n\nAs an enabler of artists, Russell co-founded and directed exhibitions for Violet Strays: an online curatorial project from 2011 - 2016, has worked as managing partner and curator of Vignettes with Sierra Stinson since 2015, served on the NEPO 5k curatorial team for 2014 and 2015, and currently works as Art Director at the photography startup Prints.ly.\n\nRafael Soldi: Tell us about the origins of Vignettes.\n\nSierra Stinson: It began in my studio apartment in 2010, at the time I was about to move to NYC and I had been curating at Joe Bar, the last exhibit I conceived was a group exhibition called ‘A One Night Stand.’ It prefaced the one night only exhibitions of Vignettes which was born the following month. I had decided to stay in Seattle, I was in love and inspired, my home already looked the part of a gallery, nearly empty with white walls and room for an artist’s creations. I knew a solid handful of artists who recently were in a state of limbo, not represented but also contributing to a beautiful school of thought in Seattle’s art community, I wanted to provide a space to nurture them. I am so thankful I decided to stay; it introduced me to Serrah and maybe over 70% of the future Vignettes artists.", "Crushing Sensation by Max Cleary\n\nRS: Vignettes has gone through an evolution throughout the years, adapting to both the needs of the community around it, and your own personal broadband as your lives evolve. How has Vignettes changed over the years and what are are the elements that make up its current iteration? (i.e. exhibitions, essays, studio visits, editions, marquee, etc).\n\nVignettes ethos is to be malleable. Our intention is to enable space to creatives. And yes, you’re spot on about the personal broadband. It’s important for projects like this to adapt to those who are enabling them as well as for those who it is serving. If it’s too constrained, we would be burnt out. We will actually be shifting into a hiatus mode after the next few exhibitions and that break is essential to inform new ideas. We need to balance breathing in with breathing out.\n\nVignettes as a venue has taken on many forms since 2010, from what began in Sierra’s studio apartment where everything including the bed was placed inside the walk-in to make room for the art, expanding to a one-bedroom apartment where the bed often became part of the work, art would spill from the living room / gallery area into the bedroom, kitchen, closet and even bathroom at times.\n\nIn 2013 we updated our website Vignettes.us and we began selling work as well as utilizing the website as a space for extended writing and additional imagery, resulting in interviews, exhibition essays, studio visits, and dialogues between writers and artists, along with local and national curator conversations.", null, "Articles and conversations on www.vignettes.us\n\nWe both see the internet as a space for exhibition and to highlight art so it felt natural to use our Instagram account as a venue for artists to explore and express. We began a consistent series of Instagram takeovers which we call ‘Vignettes Weekender’. A new artist is asked to post via our account their artwork / art practice Friday-Sunday of each week. This allows and asks us to step outside of our region and look into other cities and countries to expand our knowledge of contemporary artists.\n\nLast spring as an extension to artists who weren’t currently living in Seattle, we conceived the series Vignettes Marquee, a bit of an ode to Jenny Holzer’s ‘Truism’ series of text works on buildings and in theatre marquees. We invite artists to create site-specific work to be displayed in a window of an apartment or a storefront and then we invite people to stroll on by after sunset. We loved the aesthetic and creative potential for this type of work but also how it pushes the work out into the world and asked the artists to respond to the environment around them. The audience wouldn’t be restricted to their friends or those already in the know of the Seattle arts community, it could be anyone in the neighborhood, on their commute, heading to a date, walking their dog, anyone could have their route be slightly altered with these visual interventions.", "Vignettes Marquee | CL Young\n\nIn recent years our definition of under-represented has meant more in a cultural capacity, rather than not being represented by a gallery. We want to consider enabling a space for those voices to be heard, not only in the arts, but everywhere.\n\nWe have focused on representing more POC, queer and womxn creatives both in writing and visual art. There are a lot of cis-white male artists who we respect what they create but to be honest, they have their spaces, they always will and we can use our platform for other’s who aren’t given as much space so generously.\n\nRS: Is there an underlying thread connecting the type of work and artists that Vignettes chooses to highlight?\n\nOur individual art practices are focused on empathy and earnestness within their creations. Each artist we work with has those qualities about their own work. We are drawn to thoughtfulness, to an eternal optimism, rawness, to works where text and image collaborate. There’s certainly an emotional connection for us with our artists. We kinda fall in love with each of them and their work. We are able to show this type of emotional, almost confessional work, because we have structured Vignettes in a way that it isn’t dependent on sales, so the creations can be personal, performative or immersive. Producing them within alternative venues, homes, intimate spaces is also a large part of activating the work, they become site specific in these landscapes and that adds to both the viewer and the artist’s experience.\n\nRS: What are some of the challenges facing the art community around you and how is Vignettes actively addressing those issues?\n\nSerrah Russell: I think the arts community faces the same challenges that the world faces: Time. Money. Diverse voices. Honest Communication. Empathy. Kindness. Risk taking. Mindfulness.\n\nSierra Stinson: I was recently reading a zine about Art during Fascism, and it states on the first page ‘don’t stop making art’ this is very important right now given our current political climate.\n\nRS: Two important constants since Vignettes' inception are that the works are only up for one night, and the artists are always commissioned to make new work. How did these parameters come about and how have they shaped your direction over time?\n\nThis was a very organic process...the first artists to exhibit wanted to exhibit work no one had seen before and since it is for only one night they wished for the work to be a surprise to the viewer. Our marketing model is to show as little of the work as possible prior to the exhibit so people would be intrigued enough to attend and also potentially not know what they are getting into. We still believe in that model because with so little mystery in the social media world we still need mystery in art.\n\nA couple of years ago we worked with San Francisco-based artist Rumi Koshino, it was her Seattle farewell exhibition. She took an older piece of hers that she had labored over for her MFA, a giant scroll of mark making, she flipped it onto it’s back and sketched out envelope folds for people to cut the templates out. This is the perfect example of revisiting a past work and breathing new life into it. She took her own constraints, her own need to let go, to say goodbye and to release this creation that contained all of her process within it in a collaborative act. It was a rebirth and death in one motion.\n\nIt is hosting exhibitions like this that made us realize we wanted to include written pieces as a partner to the work, to assist the creations to exist beyond the one night only context.\n\nWe believe that limitations help to create more creativity and innovation. We see artists thrive when there is a challenge or a structure to rein them in and focus. We all have limitations and it’s what you do within those constraints that matter. Along with helping the artist, we see this structure encouraging people to show up and support art and artists more consistently because they know they have to do it now or not at all. It makes it very clear, either you attend or you miss on experiencing the work for that moment.", "Studio Visit with Rumi Koshino / Photo by Maggie Carson Romano\n\nRS: What does the future of Vignettes look like? What's on the horizon?\n\nThis March is the end of our current season for both Vignettes and Marquee. Gretchen Frances Bennett will be the last of the series and it’s been refreshing to work with her again after all of these years, she was one of the first artists to exhibit in 2011 and we see her revisiting some of those past ideas in her present practice.\n\nWe are both traveling this summer, planning to attend the once in a decade trio of large scale exhibitions Münster Skulptur Projekte, Documenta, and the Venice Biennale, along with potential residencies and collaborations. We don’t want to give anything away but the scope is changing for the both of us, personally and professionally. We hope that whatever is born out of the next year is something that continues to extend our practice but also is politically and socially relevant. Our birthland is in need of more spaces and support for those who it isn’t provided to so easily. Under the current presidency we don’t take our roles lightly and hope to use our own privilege to stand up for what we believe is important. It is both an intuitive and logical process and we are working every day to educate ourselves.\n\nRS: What would Vignettes do if you were gifted a million dollars?\n\nWe have always had an idea of an artist’s artist grant. A grant where money is gifted to those who are working hard within the community and are often unacknowledged for their dedication to supporting other artists. We want to honor and support the creatives within a community who have been sustaining, supporting and creating the culture around them. In a way, it is inspired by Deed of Gift by Matt Offenbacher and Jennifer Nemhauser who very visibly exhibited what an artist who pays it forward to others looks like.\n\nIn Seattle we’ve always noticed the pool to be very small for acknowledgement and funding and we would want to be able to give money to those who are rarely monetarily or publicly acknowledged for the work they do as practicing artists, as well as in support and collaboration of their community.\n\nJulia Freeman, Robert Yoder and Klara Glosova come to mind, as well as many educators who are class by class, student by student, building and supporting our arts community and too often described as “moms” and “cheerleaders” rather than the genius innovators and dedicated enablers that they are.

[ "The Texas Bluebird Society is an all-volunteer grassroots organization helping bluebirds and other cavity-nesting birds through increasing nesting sites while sustaining and increasing their food supply (insects; berries of native plants).\n\nThe Texas Bluebird Society was founded in 2001 by avid bluebirders from across the state who joined together to pool their passion for and knowledge of these beautiful birds.\n\nBy joining together we are able to:\n\nBluebirding is not a competitive sport but a cooperative one. We are working on a project far larger than bluebirds! We are taking the DREAM \"Bluebirds Across Texas . . . one nestbox at a time\" and making it real! We are educating tens of thousands about changing habitat and the need for well-ventilated nestboxes that are appropriate for Texas conditions. By encouraging the planting of native trees and plants, we are helping to create diverse habitats that attract insects and provide berries for wintering bluebirds. This all helps to reduce habitat fragmentation and increase biodiversity.\n\nA goal from the heart of the Texas Bluebird Society is to share the beauty and wonder of bluebirds. The vocal courtship of these birds when they discover a nestbox, then the miracle of egg laying, the patient incubation and nurturing of the eggs, the frantic feeding and caring for their young and the trials and tribulations of the family as the young leave the nest. These birds' lives condense into 30 days what would be 30 years for a human family.\n\nOur members range from those who have the hope of one day seeing a bluebird or attracting a bluebird to a nestbox, to those who have been helping the bluebirds (and other native cavity-nesting birds) in one yard or dozens of yards or even thousands of yards all across Texas.\n\nWe ask members to participate in scientific study by opening at least one nestbox once or twice a week during nesting season and reporting their observation through NestWatch.org. Our presenters speak to organizations and work with school children. Those who staff a TBS Booth at a festival conduct membership nestbox exchanges and distribute educational materials. Some simply share with friends and neighbors their knowledge of bluebirds. Others distribute our website's information about bluebirds and plans for building a nestbox.\n\nThe Texas Bluebird Society needs volunteers in every part of the state to help share in this wonderfully rewarding hobby! We invite every Texan with a nestbox to participate in NestWatch, whether or not they're a member. We need volunteers for everything from nestbox builders to booth staffers to presenters to adults and children.\n\nBy joining together we are able to educate the public and conduct research specific to Texas, benefiting bluebirds and other native cavity-nesting birds. In the process, as people experience the \"peace, joy and hope\" of bluebirds, they often discover those same things in their own lives.\n\nBy joining the Texas Bluebird Society you can have a part in making \"Bluebirds Across Texas . . . one nestbox at a time\" a reality.\n\nWhy Texas Bluebird Society Exists\n\nEveryone knows what Texas Bluebird Society does (\"Bluebirds Across Texas ... one nestbox at a time\") and how we do it. But, \"why we exist\" is a story in itself, told by Pauline Tom (a founder of the organization).\n\n\"Texas specific\" publications did not exist when I started with bluebirds in 2000. The info I gleaned through extensive reading was not \"incorrect\" somewhere in the USA, but much did not apply in Texas (i.e., House Wrens; Tree Swallows; blowflies; hypothermia; spacing at 300-yards; NABS-sized nestboxes; migration south.)\n\nKeith Kridler and David Shiels, located through cyberspace, taught me what works best for Texas differs from general info about bluebirding, including what's published by the North American Bluebird Society (NABS).\n\nI cried out, \"WHY doesn't NABS have an affiliate in Texas to help Texans??!!\" NABS informed me, \"In 20 years, no one has ventured to start an affiliate for all of Texas.\" And, no one had plans.\n\nThe void consumed me. With electronic communication, the time for a bluebird organization was right. In order to lend a helping hand to Texans, I got the ball rolling. Keith and David, bluebird experts with decades of experience in Texas, agreed to help make it a reality.\n\nHelp getting started came from outside Texas in the form of answered emailed questions from presidents of NABS affiliate organizations from coast to coast. At the NABS Convention in Ohio in June, I saw faces and heard voices of close comrades. And, after hundreds of emails just between the two of us, Keith Kridler (a charter NABS member) and I sat together for the first time, piecing together plans.\n\nIn the next few months, Keith rounded up a few other Texans with experience to comprise the Charter Board. We pooled passion and knowledge.\n\nTexas Bluebird Society incorporated in September 2001. At the Board Meeting the following month, under oak trees in my backyard in Mountain City, a whirlwind brainstorm produced the slogan: Bluebirds Across Texas ... one nestbox at a time.\n\nIn that motto we stay centered, with roots that anchor us ...TEXAS (with a \"nestbox-T\") Bluebird Society. Pauline Tom, President.\n\nThe following is a map of our members, both past and present. Over 95% of them received a free nestbox through our signature \"One Nestbox\" membership special, which we offer at festivals and presentations and through our volunteer distributors.", null, "Pauline Tom\n\nExecutive Committee\nEventPlans Team\nMountain City / HAYS\n\nLonnie Castleman\n\nVice President\nNestbox Construction Coordinator\nTrinity / TRINITY\n\nKay Dansby\n\nRenewals Coordinator\nNorth Richland Hills / TARRANT\n\nLinda Crum\n\nInterim Treasurer\nMembership Secretary\nThe Woodlands / MONTGOMERY\n\nBenni Konvicka\n\nFundraising Auction Coordinator\nNestbox Distributor\nStephenville / ERATH\n\nKen Ray\n\nOvilla / ELLIS\n\nJane Jenkins\n\nHarold Latham\n\nAdvisory Board\nEvent Speaker Support\nBooth Supplies Coordinator\nIvanhoe / JACKSON\n\nBeverly Davis\n\nFundraising Auction\n\nPat Nail\n\nClayton / PANOLA\n\nThe Texas Bluebird Society thanks those who have generously contributed to our web site.

[ null, "While this Greek squad has been at it since the early 90's, they've only started recording recently, with their debut album \"Keep It Alive\" coming out at the tail end of last year. The 90's grunge scene has its finger prints all over their sound, along with healthy doses of psych and stoner rock to obscure things just a little. Pretty much six tracks of the best stuff that the bygone decade had to offer. You have swinging, down tuned stoner rock jams, some heavy rock tracks with a spacey vibe, and even a couple songs thick with that unmistakeable Seattle sound from back in the day. With all those influences, and the amount of time they've been playing together, it's no surprise that they have a different vibe than most of the other stoner rock bands out of Greece that are making noise right now.\nThe title track is last up on the album, and being the longest one on there ensures that it's going to be plenty of time to lay down a killer track. Starting off with what can be described as Eddie Vedder taking over vocal duties for Kyuss, the song builds up with a bass guitar rumble before the vocals become shouted and a gritty guitar sound sinks into everything as it moves like a car that's wide open on a desert blacktop. Of course around the half way point things change up and take a slower direction, with the guitar losing some of that gritty edge and lending a heavy psych feel to the second half of the song. While the guys only have this up on bandcamp as a download right now, it'll be worth checking out and seeing what all the fuss is about.\n\nFor Fans Of; Monster Magnet, Soundgarden, Kyuss\n\nFacebook • Bandcamp", "Labels: Greece, Profound Sleep, Psych Grunge Rock, Stoner Grunge Rock, Stoner Rock\n\nWelcome to the The Burning Beard..." ]

[ "Becky Smith Friday, January 29, 2016\nI wanted to repurchase my Dr PawPaw soothing balm and was going to buy it from Boots (although now I'm not sure Boots actually stock it?) then I remembered I'd spotted that it was available in the Love me Beauty boutique. I'd also noticed there were several 50% off discount codes floating around for Love me Beauty, so instead of spending £7 just on the Dr PawPaw balm I thought I might as well spend a couple of pounds extra and get a few more products to try.", null, "If you've not come across Love me Beauty before it's a monthly beauty subscription box with a bit of a twist. Each month you're allocated 60 credits that you can spend in the boutique. The boutique contains a selection of products (and now also jewellery) each worth either 10 or 20 credits. Instead of Love me Beauty deciding what products you receive you head to the boutique and decide how to spend your 60 credits. If you want more products then you have credits for you also have the option of buying further credits so you can add further products to your box. The products don't just change monthly either, they're constantly being updated as products go out of stock and new ones are added. The box itself costs £10 and then postage is £3.95, so my box cost £8.95 altogether after applying the discount code.\n\nHaving never tried Love me Beauty before I haven't seen their box and when I opened my package when it arrived I was very impressed. The box is understated but really nice, featuring a grey/silver textured almost fabric like box with Love me Beauty embossed on the top in rose gold/copper. I thought the products inside came in a drawer string bag but I didn't get one, maybe because I didn't pay full price.", null, "As you're aware the first product I chose was the Dr PawPaw Tinted balm (10 credits). What I didn't realise was that this is not the full size product but the same size as the previous sample I had, so I didn't quite get the bargain I thought I had ordering the box (I don't mind this though). The balm I've just recently finished was the clear original but this time I decided I wanted to try the red one out, which is a good job as it was the only one available in the boutique.\n\nThe second item I chose was the Beauty lies within make-up bag (20 credits). As I spend half my life living out of a suitcase at my boyfriends house little make-up bags like this come in useful for keeping together things like the lipsticks I've chosen to take with me. It's not the most amazing quality, especially as one of the teeth in the zip is loose so it doesn't actually zip up all the way across, but it's a nice little make-up bag (and very Instagram worthy!).\n\nSince managing to master the art of liquid liner application I've had an itch to try various different felt tip pen style liners and various different colours. Although I couldn't find any good indication online of what colour Babylon brown is I thought well it's not black and decided to go for the Eye öf Hörus Liquid Define liner (20 credits). I was slightly disappointed to discover it's quite dark, so not a whole lot lighter than black, but from a quick swatch on my hand it looks promising, at least for a nice thin line if that's what you like.\n\nFinally I decided on the Nuxe Crème Fraiche de Beauté (10 credits) which is a moisturising mask. Although I do have several hydrating masks I have been curious to try this one and it was the only other product in the boutique at that time that I was really interested in.\n\nI'm impressed with the Love me Beauty concept and it's definitely a box I would consider ordering again in the future if there were products in the boutique I was interested in.

In a bowl, mash the egg yolks with the back of a fork until they become a course powdery texture. Add in mayo, mustards, ham, and salt + pepper to taste. This is where you should taste the mixture to see how you like it. Adjust from there.\n\nPlace yolk mixture into a ziplock bag or pastry bag fitted with your favorite tip. If using a ziplock bag, cut the tip off the end and pipe into eggs. You could just plop the mixture into the eggs with a spoon but I feel like the small touch makes for a beautiful presentation. Plus if you put it into a bag, you could make the day before serving to save yourself time. Just pipe it into the eggs when you're ready to serve!\n\n*tip* to prevent your eggs from sliding around the plate, slice a thin layer off the bottom of the egg so it sits flat. just be careful not to cut through the egg. OR you could put a little of the yolk mixture on the bottom and stick the egg to the plate. you could be a little playful and cut your eggs in half hamburger style to be a little different. see below:", null, "improv style:\nthere's all sorts of variations on this dish that you could try. i'm going to stick to classic suggestions but i've seen some cool combos like caesar salad flavored and truffled deviled eggs - how fancy!\n\ni like best foods full-fat mayo. especially for the holidays, go big or go home, right? if you're not into that, you could use your favorite low fat, fat free, or miracle whip type mayo. want to make it REALLY healthy?! try substituting ½ the mayo for greek yogurt. it will add some more tang to the deviled eggs. or you could try substituting with a little bit of hummus.\n\nshaved ham... where do i get that?! i usually cut off a small hunck from my holiday ham. you could also buy thick cut deli ham or buy the ham slices from the meat section of your grocer. i just pulse mine in the food processor for 30 seconds but if you don't have one, you can finely chop it with a knife and it will be just fine. not a fan of ham or looking for something similar but different?! try pancetta, bacon, or prosciutto. my cousins boyfriend so cleverly leaves out his ham from the yolk mixture and garnishes his eggs with a chunk of bacon. one of the many reasons why i love him so!\n\non to tweaking the recipe to your taste... if you're not a huge mustard fan (i'm not usually - this being an exception) try scaling back the amount at first. remember, you can always add more. the worst thing you could do is add too much to the yolks. i've seen some runny deviled eggs in my day and i wonder what people were thinking. that being said, if you like it runny, add more mayo to your mixture! if you like a little kick, consider adding a few dashes of tabasco or cayenne pepper. a few squirts of worcestershire sauce could be a nice addition to the mix.\n\nif you end up splitting a few of the egg whites, don't panic. pop those in your mouth and no-one will notice! plus you'll be able to have more filling for the other eggs... see, a welcome accident! you can always boil more eggs... it's not too hard!", null, null ]

[ "I love books. A lot-lot. I also love research. Whenever I find a subject interesting (which is often), my tendency is to read everything I can find on the topic. I will read book after book on beekeeping/eucalypts/the history of weaving/pharmacological patents/permaculture/insert topic here, until I feel I have lots of perspectives and plenty of well-reasoned ideas on the subject. I'm pretty sure it's a deeply annoying habit for my spouse and anyone else within earshot, but it's what I do and I've accepted that it is unlikely to change at this point (old dog, new tricks, and all that!).\n\nGardening is one of those subjects on which I will read absolutely any material I can hunt down. I love gorgeous, photographic celebrations of gardens, but I also love to read old gardening journals and memoirs, and technical treatises on a single aspect of the garden. The book I am reviewing today is both of those things - part botanical porn, part technical manual on all things peonies.", "Peonies: beautiful varieties for home and garden by Jane Eastoe and Georgianna Lane is simply STUNNING. Regardless of whether you read a single word of this book, it is worthy of a spot on the bookshelf (or, better yet, splayed out on a coffee table) for the photography alone.\n\nI don't deny that peonies are, perhaps, a little overdone these days. If you have ever used social media, you've been pummelled with images of them for the past few years. Elle magazine even called them \"the new avocado\" in 2016! I admitted that my interest in peonies stems exactly from that source when I wrote about them here the year prior. So, while they may be about ready to take a fall with the fashionable set (although I note that avocados are still on errrrrybody's insta-toast), they are still high on my love list.", "This book succinctly covers peony anatomy and types, going in to just the right amount of depth for an avid grower (who isn't a botanist). Selection, growing and care are also covered in an exceptionally clear and concise chapter. I learned a number of new tips from this section - like keeping light pink varieties in a more shady position to preserve their colour for longer, and sacrificing quantity of blooms for quality the same way. Apparently in Japan people will go to great lengths to shade prize peonies from midday sun... I don't blame them (I've recently been known to put up umbrellas to shade hydrangeas).", null, "Whilst the bulk of this book is filled with individual varietal profiles, accompanied by the centrefold glamour shots of each one, I think my favourite part of the book is the chapter on the history of peonies. From origins in China through to the medicinal uses of peonies by 8th century Japanese Buddhist monks, the escapades of Western plant hunters, and the passions of the French, it is a wonderful story and so well written. Normally those chapters are the ones that get skipped over, but I truly don't think they will be in here.\n\nFor me, that is what most recommends Peonies: beautiful varieties for home and garden - it is so well written, but moreover it is EDITED brilliantly. The content is easy and enjoyable to read, covering just the right amount of detail without being overwhelming. It is approachable, enjoyable and utterly lovely.", null, null ]

And this cookie swap helped to benefit Cookies for Kids' Cancer!\n\nThis was such a positive experience, the hardest part of deciding on a recipe to make! I didn't want to make cookies that went stale quickly or that would break in the shipping process (and I hope that these cookies did none of that!). I decided on these Heath Bits Peanut Butter Cookies, which I've been making the past several years. This recipe combines two of my favorite things, peanut butter cookies and toffee. This combines sweet and salty cookies with sweet and salty candies, so if you're into that flavor combination I think you would really love these cookies.\n\nPlease see below who I sent cookies to and received cookies from this year as well as more yummy photos and the recipe! I will definitely be participating in this again next year!", null, "Bloggers I sent my cookies to:\nCooking with Cakes\nThe Givens Chronicles\nNever Settle\n\nBloggers that I received cookies from:\nAll Day I Dream About Food\nCheesy Pennies\nPatricia's PattiCakes", null, null, null, null, null, "From Hershey's\n\n1/2 c. shortening(regular or butter-flavored both work)\n3/4 c. peanut butter\n1 1/4 c. packed light brown sugar\n3 Tbs. milk\n1 Tbs. vanilla extract\n1 egg\n1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour\n3/4 tsp. baking soda\n3/4 tsp. salt\n8 oz. toffee bits, divided\n\nHeat oven to 375°F.\n\nDrop by heaping teaspoons about 2 inches (mine was 1 Tablespoon which was perfect) apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; top each with reserved bits.\n\nBake 7 to 8 minutes or until set.

[ null, "Investors generally are subject to a 15% tax rate on their long-term capital gains (20% if they’re in the top ordinary income tax bracket of 39.6%). But the long-term capital gains rate is 0% for gain that would be taxed at 10% or 15% based on the taxpayer’s ordinary-income rate.\n\nIn addition, taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over $200,000 per year ($250,000 for joint filers and $125,000 for married filing separately) may owe the net investment income tax (NIIT). The NIIT equals 3.8% of the lesser of your net investment income or the amount by which your MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold.\n\nIf you have loved ones in the 0% bracket, you may be able to take advantage of it by transferring appreciated assets to them. The recipients can then sell the assets at no or a low federal tax cost.\n\nThe strategy in action\n\nFaced with a long-term capital gains tax rate of 23.8% (20% for the top tax bracket, plus the 3.8% NIIT), Rick and Sara decide to transfer some appreciated stock to their adult daughter, Maia. Just out of college and making only enough from her entry-level job to leave her with $25,000 in taxable income, Maia falls into the 15% income tax bracket. Therefore, she qualifies for the 0% long-term capital gains rate.\n\nHowever, the 0% rate applies only to the extent that capital gains “fill up” the gap between Maia’s taxable income and the top end of the 15% bracket. In 2017, the 15% bracket for singles tops out at $37,950.\n\nWhen Maia sells the stock her parents transferred to her, her capital gains are $20,000. Of that amount $12,950 qualifies for the 0% rate and the remaining $7,050 is taxed at 15%. Maia pays only $1,057.50 of federal tax on the sale vs. the $4,760 her parents would have owed had they sold the stock themselves.\n\nAdditional considerations\n\nBefore acting, make sure the recipients won’t be subject to the “kiddie tax.” Also consider any gift and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax consequences.\n\nFor more information on transfer taxes, the kiddie tax or capital gains planning, please contact us.

[ "TOPEKA, Kan. – March 29, 2018 – April is National Distracted Driving Awareness month, but a new AAA Foundation survey indicates that almost all drivers are already aware of the problem and fear it is getting worse.\nThe annual Traffic Safety Culture Index survey by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety shows that 88 percent of drivers believe distracted driving is on the rise, topping other risky behaviors including:", null, "A Disturbing Trend\nThe number of drivers who report using a cell phone behind the wheel jumped 30 percent since 2013. (B-roll video of cell phone use behind the wheel HERE).\nAlmost half of all drivers (49 percent) report recently talking on a hand-held phone while driving, and nearly 35 percent have sent a text or email. Despite their own behavior, most drivers (nearly 58 percent) say talking on a cell phone while behind the wheel is a very serious threat to their personal safety, while 78 percent believe that texting is a significant danger.\n“What we have seen, year after year, is this ‘do as I say, not as I do’ behavior – a sense that ‘I can text but you can’t’, which is extremely troubling,” says Shawn Steward, spokesperson for AAA Kansas.\nA recent study from the AAA Foundation shows drivers talking on a cell phone are up to four times as likely to crash while those who text are up to eight times as likely to be involved in a crash.\n“The intention of the Traffic Safety Culture survey is to better understand drivers’ perceptions and attitudes towards risky behaviors, so we can figure out the best possible way to address those issues and reduce crashes,” AAA Kansas’ Steward says. “With more than 37,000 fatal crashes across the country every year, we’ve got to do everything we can to save more lives.”\nDrivers in the AAA survey believe the problem of distracted driving has increased over the past three years, with nearly 50 percent reporting that they regularly see drivers emailing or texting while driving. Although federal estimates indicate the number of distracted driving crashes has actually dropped two percent, that number is likely erroneous given that distracted driving is difficult to detect following a crash, which makes it one of the most under reported traffic safety issues. (B-roll video of distracted driving video HERE)\nFor instance, according to government estimates, distraction plays a factor in just 14 percent of all crashes. However, past AAA Foundation research with dash-cam video observing teen drivers (one of the most vulnerable driving populations), determined that distraction was a factor in 58 percent of crashes, 44 percent more than federal estimates.\n“As the number of distractions behind the wheel increases, from the latest phone apps to in-vehicle technology, it is important that we better educate drivers on the dangers of distraction,” says Jake Nelson, AAA director of traffic safety advocacy and research. “There is a disconnect between what drivers do and what they believe. While most recognize the dangers created by taking your eyes off the road, they engage in distracting behaviors anyway.”\nAny level of risk is too high when it comes to safe driving. Tasks that require a driver to take their eyes or attention off the road should be avoided while the vehicle is in motion- including the use of cellphones, infotainment systems, or navigation systems.\nAAA urges drivers to act responsibly when behind the wheel. In order to avoid distractions, drivers should (image attached):\nThe new survey results are part of the AAA Foundation’s annual Traffic Safety Culture Index, which identifies attitudes and behaviors related to traffic safety. The survey data are from a sample of 2,613 licensed drivers ages 16 and older who reported driving in the past 30 days. The AAA Foundation issued its first Traffic Safety Culture Index in 2008, and the latest report is online at www.AAAFoundation.org.\nEstablished by AAA in 1947, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, publicly-supported charitable educational and research organization. Dedicated to saving lives and reducing injuries on our roads, the Foundation’s mission is to prevent crashes and save lives through research and education about traffic safety. The Foundation has funded over 300 research projects designed to discover the causes of traffic crashes, prevent them and minimize injuries when they do occur.  Visit www.AAAFoundation.org for more information on this and other research." ]

[ "1967: Australians vote overwhelmingly to alter the constitution, allowing Aboriginal people to be counted in the census and be subject to Commonwealth law", null, "In May 1967, after ten years of campaigning, a referendum on Indigenous recognition in the Australian constitution was held. The lead-up to the poll focused public attention on the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were treated as second-class citizens.\n\nNearly 91 per cent of the electorate voted to amend the constitution. This change was seen to reflect public recognition of Aboriginal people as full Australian citizens.\n\nMore on the referendum\n\nGordon Bryant, 1967:\n\nThe vote is an overwhelming endorsement of the view that it is time for material action. The Government cannot hide behind constitutional inhibitions, nor can it hide behind a faith in public apathy. This vote represents a great national demand for action.", null, "'YES' for Aborigines pamphlet, 1967. National Museum of Australia. Donated by Janelle Marshall, the child pictured on the pamphlet.\n\nAboriginal people and white law\n\nIn the 100 years following 1788, Indigenous people had their homelands and many of their human rights taken away from them by British colonists.\n\nBy the end of the 19th century, when the colonies were in the process of federating, Aboriginal people were excluded from almost all aspects of white society and most settler Australians thought of them as a ‘dying race’.\n\nMoreover, 19th-century authorities were hesitant to apply aspects of British colonial law to Indigenous people, as Judge Dowling pronounced in the R v Ballard case of 1829: ‘I know of no reason human, or divine, which ought to justify us in interfering with their institutions even if such interference were practicable’.\n\nTherefore, the creators of the constitution paid little consideration to Indigenous Australians. On its completion, the document contained only two significant references to Indigenous people, both exclusionary:\n\nSection 51. The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to:-\n...(xxvi) The people of any race, other than the aboriginal people in any State, for whom it is necessary to make special laws.\n\nAs historian John Hirst has explained, section 51 (xxvi) meant that the Commonwealth had no power to make laws that specifically applied to Aboriginal people. Only the six states could pass such legislation.\n\nSection 127 excluded Aboriginal people from being counted in the census; an indication that they played no part in government decision-making.\n\nThe Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 specifically excluded Indigenous people from voting. Indigenous people were also denied the social security benefits legislated for all other Australians throughout the first half of the 20th century.\n\nGetting organised\n\nThe Aborigines Advancement League (AAL) and the New South Wales Aborigines’ Progressive Association (APA) staged a Day of Mourning on Australia Day 1938, the sesquicentenary of British settlement, in commemoration of what activist William Cooper called, ‘the whitemans [sic] seizure of our country’. It was one of the first overtly political actions to highlight the plight of Aboriginal people.\n\nA catalyst for change came in 1956 when a group of Yarnangu people were found to be sick and malnourished in the Warburton Ranges area of the Central Desert. The people’s health, homelands and traditional lifestyles had been affected by nuclear testing conducted by the British and Australian governments.\n\nThe Australian public were outraged when they became aware of the Yarnangu’s condition. Activists from organisations such as the AAL and the APA mobilised support around the treatment of Indigenous people and finally the issue reached a broad national audience.\n\nFor the first time, Australians broadly expressed a sense of shock at the plight of Aboriginal people. Various Aboriginal organisations began pressing the government for change. This led to the formation of the first national pressure group, the Federal Council for Aboriginal Advancement (FCAA), in Adelaide in February 1958. The first two stated goals of the FCAA were:\n\nThe FCAA’s Faith Bandler asked human rights activist Jessie Street to highlight which sections of the constitution were impeding the Commonwealth’s ability to implement policies that would provide financial assistance to Indigenous people. Street’s recommendations became a key part of the referendum question in 1967.\n\nIn 1964, the FCAA recognised Torres Strait Islanders as a distinct people and became the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCAATSI).", null, "FCAATSI delegation canvassing parliamentarians, April 1967. From left: Gordon Bryant MHR, Faith Bandler, Prime Minister Harold Holt, Pastor Doug Nicholls, Harry Penrith, Winnie Branson, William Wentworth MHR. Photographer unknown.\n\nEarly petitions and government action\n\nIn the late 1950s and early 1960s, activists ran a series of petition drives to gain public support for constitutional change. The FCAA’s 1962–63 nationwide campaign garnered 100,000 signatures.\n\nIn May 1964, this brought Arthur Calwell, leader of the Labor Opposition, to table a Bill that called for a referendum to amend section 127 of the constitution. The subsequent debate focused on whether the wording of the section was discriminatory. The Bill did not pass.\n\nYet, public sentiment was very much for removing the two references in the constitution and Prime Minister Menzies, who had given Aboriginal people the vote in 1962, set a date for a referendum of May 1966. However, the retirement of Menzies in January 1966 stalled the campaign’s political momentum and under their new leader Harold Holt the coalition government postponed the poll.\n\nIn February 1967, Attorney-General Nigel Bowden reviewed the situation and recommended to cabinet that the referendum be held soon. Cabinet agreed and a date was set: 27 May 1967.", null, "Portrait of Faith Bandler. National Library of Australia, obj-136357720.\n\nUnlike most referendums where the central question draws opposing views, the 1967 referendum question of removing the controversial references in the constitution had bipartisan political support and so a national ‘no’ case was not presented.\n\nFCAATSI took on the responsibility of campaigning for the ‘yes’ vote, with significant support from unions, churches and the Labor Party.\n\nIt framed the campaign in much the same way it had approached the early petition campaigns as a poll on the elimination of discriminatory laws and the institution of civil rights for the Aboriginal population.\n\nFCAATSI believed the 1967 vote for change had to be overwhelming so the government would take their new responsibilities seriously.\n\nA ‘national campaign directorate’ with Kungarakan man Joe McGinness and Labor politician Gordon Bryant as its heads and Faith Bandler as the New South Wales Coordinator took leading roles in what became the most successful referendum campaign in Australia’s history.\n\nVictory and the aftermath\n\nOn 27 May 1967, nearly 91 per cent of Australians voted 'yes' to change the constitution. The huge majority was a validation of ten years of hard work by Aboriginal activists. The constitution was formally changed on 10 August that year.\n\nFive months after the referendum, Prime Minister Holt announced the formation of the Council for Aboriginal Affairs. In 1968, the government passed the States Grants (Aboriginal Advancement) Act, which provided federal funds to state governments to support Indigenous communities.\n\nWith the election of the Whitlam Labor government in 1972 Gordon Bryant became the first Minister for Aboriginal Affairs supported by an independent department.\n\nThe referendum has iconic status in Australian history. It was the first time the nation came together to show overwhelming support for Indigenous people, and the first time Aboriginal people were able to mobilise the non-indigenous population to make that happen. For non-Aboriginal people, it has become a benchmark event in imagining how Australia can overcome discrimination against Indigenous people.\n\nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders continue to struggle for their position in Australian society. As Joe McGinness cautioned supporters in 1967, ‘Winning the referendum is an important step forwards – but it is only a first step’.\n\nConstitutional recognition\n\nThere are calls for another referendum to amend the constitution further, removing section 25, which allows the States to ban people from voting based on their race, and the amended version of section 51 (xxvi).\n\nIt has also been proposed to insert new references that recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, prevent racial discrimination by government, and acknowledge that Indigenous languages were the first to be spoken in Australia.\n\nSpecial exhibition", "A Change is Gonna Come\n\nIn our collection\n\nFaith Bandler’s gloves\n\nJoe McGinness's wharfie's hook and tuckerbox\n\nAudio on Demand", "Listen to the 1967 referendum panel discussion\n\nFurther reading\n\nJoe McGinness on the Museum’s Collaborating for Indigenous Rights website\n\nFaith Bandler on the Museum’s Collaborating for Indigenous Rights website\n\nGeorge Bryant on the Museum’s Collaborating for Indigenous Rights website\n\nBain Attwood, Andrew Markus, The 1967 Referendum, Race, Power and the Australian Constitution, Aboriginal Studies Press, Canberra, 2007.\n\nJack Horner, Seeking Racial Justice: an insider’s memoir of the movement for Aboriginal advancement, 1938–1978, Canberra, Aboriginal Studies Press, 2004.\n\nFaith Bandler, Turning the Tide: A personal history of the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, Canberra, Aboriginal Studies Press, 1989.\n\nLearning resources\n\n’1967 Referendum unit of work’ on the Museum’s Collaborating for Indigenous Rights website\n\nCommemorative plaque\n\nThe Indigenous referendum is marked by a Defining Moments in Australian History plaque in the National Museum’s Main Hall.\n\nRelated Defining Moments\n\n1924: Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association formed\n\n1938: Sesquicentenary and Aboriginal Day of Mourning" ]

The maestro behind the night's events was writer, producer, and actress of the film Teria Birlon. Prior to the screening media personality Tony Towns of Hitting The Town spoke to the audience of the work put into this movie from Teria, to the director Nicholas Casucci, to the cast and crew. As the lights dimmed I quickly realize Instance is a passion project for Teria and she credited classes she took at UCLA Extension program that helped sharpen her writing skills. I will not give too much away but Instance is a film about a high school art teacher that becomes involved with a talented student and from there drama ensues. The short film had the audience hypnotized with not a peep said during the film. Only a slight gasp from the crowd toward the very end. The film's script has already received the honor of being a semi-finalist in the ScreenCraft Short Film Production Fund. Teria will continue take her movie to several film festivals around the country. Please support Teria and her film 'Instance' because it is crucial that we support independent films that don't have the advantages of being attached to a movie studio. Contribute what you can to this film that is filled with intrigue,drama, and wonderful performances.", null, null, null, null, null ]

[ null, "Description : The film starts with a ghost, roaming with cockroaches on her body. Doctor Saxena, a doctor from a good hospital, is brutally murdered by the ghost (Mary), who pulls his heart out of his body. His murder is followed by the murder of a nurse of the same hospital at the same time, 3:00 am. Investigator Vijay (Shiney Ahuja) is assigned the duty of finding the killer. During his investigation, Vijay meets Dr. Suhani (Sayali Bhagat), who was the first one to find the body of the nurse.\n\nSuhani believes that something supernatural is committing the murders, but Vijay doesn't believe her theory. Another doctor of the hospital is murdered the same way, followed by the murder of an office boy by a lady, who was helping doctors in the operation theater a few minutes before his death. It is then revealed that one more person - a hospital intern, Mary (Julia Bliss) has been missing. Vijay also discovers that he suffered from memory loss, which was an outcome of an accident he had some time ago. However, he remembers that he and Mary were together in an adventure show before he suffered the accident.\n\nSuhani maintains that there is a supernatural spirit who is not being addressed. Though Vijay continues not to believe her, he finally starts seeing visions from his past that help him recover his lost memory. It is then revealed that Mary had been the girl Vijay was in love with. The two had gotten married in a church after Vijay's father gave permission. Just as the two left the church, they were attacked by a group of unknown men. Vijay tried to fight back, but was hit on the head by a rod, leading to his partial memory loss.\n\nMary was then horribly beaten, brutally assaulted and crucified by those men and left for dead. The people then hung her in a cross, the sign of Christians . After being found by two men, she was taken to the city hospital, where she was eventually declared dead. However, her heart continued to beat, baffling the doctors. Because she was an international citizen, there was a huge outcry by the media and the Australian embassy. Finally, the doctors felt that she was unholy and had her chopped into pieces by a local butcher, bagged her remains and tossed her into the sea.\n\nAfter remembering everything, Vijay discovers that his father was behind all this. His father was against the marriage and had bribed the attackers, doctors, wardboy and nurse to murder Mary. Angered and heartbroken, Vijay confronts his father. His father tries to escape but is finally killed by Mary, along with all the other attackers who had killed Mary, as well as the butcher. With her revenge finally complete, Mary finds solace in Jesus's arms because of her never-dying faith and belief." ]

[ null, "YEREVAN, MAY 21, ARMENPRESS. The current situation in Armenia led to the fact that in some markets the business revises its pricing policy, economist Atom Margaryan – head of the Innovation and Institutional Research Center at the Armenian State University of Economics, told ARMENPRESS, commenting on the recent decline of prices of some products, in particularly in sugar, banana markets.\n\n“The government has not submitted a program yet, has not applied a political lever, but the business automatically goes to such pricing revisions. The business understands quite well that the shadow component in prices will sooner or later be studied and maybe later they will be accounted for. Therefore, smart businessmen go to that step. I would recommend the remaining businessmen, if they face similar problems, to quickly go to that step. Price-quality ratio must be not only just a lever ensuring profit, but be a fair bar enabling to operate with long-term competitive conditions in the market”, Atom Margaryan said.\n\nThe economist believes that in the near future the prices of fuels, fertilizers, medicines, building materials, timber will be revised. According to him, the markets of large importers will also be examined, and the new leadership must take steps.\n\n“What the business needs to do? It must distribute the accumulated capital in other sectors, it should go to diversification, be flexible and resisting in the market for long-term presence. It’s clear that if there are several import businesses with a superprofit and it declines, there will be a quick bankruptcy. Therefore, the way out is diversification”, the economist noted.\n\nLast week the price of sugar declined from 390 ADM to 340 AMD for 1 kg. The price of banana declined from 900 AMD to 550-600 AMD.\n\nEnglish –translator/editor: Aneta Harutyunyan", "Print    |  Հայերեն  |  На русском |  AMP Version" ]

[ null, "Perceptive, Precise, and Pertinent\n\nRating: 4 out of 5 stars\n\nSource: Review Copy from Publisher\n\nEvery time I read an Austenesque novel like According to Jane by Marilyn Brant, Austentatious by Alyssa Goodnight, or My Jane Austen Summer by Cindy Jones, I become green with envy at how each heroine was able to, in some form or another, communicate with Jane Austen! How magnificent would it be if this wise and discerning author was able to impart advice and council to her readers?!? How incredible would it be to have Jane Austen answer questions about our modern world and lend an ear to our present-day woes?\n\nWell, until Jane Austen decides to manifest herself in my life, I will continue to find solace and seek wisdom from her novels and various other Jane Austen guidebooks. Including this newly published offering from Rebecca Smith, Miss Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life’s Dilemmas. In her advice book, Rebecca Smith (Jane Austen’s great-great-great-great-great niece) cleverly and adeptly shows readers how our modern-day dilemmas can be solved through passages, quotes, and letters from our favorite author!\n\nIt didn’t initially occur to me that Jane Austen could give relevant advice on long distance relationships, tattoos, office dragons, and dressing our age…but indeed, she can! Even though we live in a distinctively different world – a world with technological advancements, relaxed social customs, and independence for women – the fundamentals of relationships and society haven’t changed. I thoroughly enjoyed the perceptive and creditable comparisons Ms. Smith drew between Jane Austen’s world and ours. I loved seeing the parallels between our modern-day dilemmas and those of Jane Austen and her characters, and I found the advice given to be sensible and beneficial.\n\nMy only quibble for this book is that sometimes the author’s tone felt a little jarring. With phrases such as: “new squeeze,” “bridezilla,” and “down low” it sort of felt like the author was trying a little too hard to sound hip for her younger readers. In addition, I’m guessing some of the advice is supposed to be taken tongue-in-cheek as sometimes the tone is a little blunt and insulting. Like when the author says, “Could it be that you are just a horrible and ungrateful person and he’d be better off with somebody else?” in response to a dilemma about a boyfriend buying you things you really don’t like. (page 35) For me, sentences like this just didn’t seem to set the right tone for a Jane Austen advice book, even if it is supposed to be taken ironically.\n\nIf you are like me, and wish you could communicate with Jane Austen about our modern world and the quandaries we find ourselves in, Miss Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life’s Dilemmas might be the book for you! Enjoy with a comforting cup of tea and let Jane Austen’s wise words steer you in the right direction!", "Before I received a review copy of Miss Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life’s Dilemmas, the publisher sent me a thirty-page excerpted uncorrected proof.  It came complete with a table of contents, illustrations, and excerpts from different chapters.  It was great to get a little preview of this book and it helped me decide if I wanted to review it or not.\n\nI find that I don’t really need to keep this thirty-page excerpt anymore and rather than discard it in the recycling bin, I thought I might give it away to one lucky winner!  Maybe it will help one of you decide if you want to purchase this book for yourself!\n\nSo…if you are interested in winning a thirty-page excerpt of Miss Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life’s Dilemmas, leave a comment below!\n\nShare this with your friends:\n\n13 Responses to “Miss Jane Austen’s Guide to Modern Life’s Dilemmas – Rebecca Smith + Mini Giveaway!”\n\nShall We Correspond?\n\nNothing at the moment!\n\nBooks Reviewed This Year\n\nI have reviewed 44 out of 65 books so far this year.\n\n68 %\n\nRead reviews »\n\nAustenesque Archives\n\nAbout Meredith", "Mr. Bingley", "A Guide to This Blog", "Snag the Blog Button!!!" ]

[ null, "The regional catastrophe ushered in by Hurricane Katrina just a few short days ago is increasingly difficult to fathom. Federal disaster declarations now cover 90,000 square miles in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. That approximates the total area of Great Britain. The area is so large, military recon platforms are being deployed now to try to gauge where search and rescue operations are most needed.\n\nThe scope of issues faced by everyone in the area is overwhelming. Unfortunately, chaos is increasingly the rule. Ruthless crime and thuggery have taken over in New Orleans, while those who are not directly involved in inciting anarchy find themselves in a life and death plot worthy of an \"Escape from New Orleans\" movie.\n\nIf the murderers and gang bangers aren't having their way with the innocent, the disease-breeding conditions and the environment rife with destruction and despondency are. Things are only getting worse in the area and there's still not a clue as to even the number of those who have paid the ultimate price.\n\nWe urge anyone reading this to find it within themselves to contribute to the recovery effort anyway they can ... to include sending money to the American Red Cross.\n\nI want to point out to any of you who are in the affected areas--in addition to our donating materials and supplies to the area, we at Safecastle LLC are offering discounted prices on virtually all of our products to residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.\n\nThe Fear of Gasoline and Oil Shortages\n\nThose of us elsewhere in America are nowhere near as desperate as those in the disaster area. Yet, we're beginning to feel some personal pain. The temporary loss of the refineries and other critical pieces of the oil-producing and pipeline infrastructure in the stricken areas are causing unprecedented price rises at the gas pump. Some areas are rationing available supplies while others are quite simply running out of gas.\n\nThis is causing a rippling wave of anxiety through the land and widespread panic is not far off the radar screen. When the gas supply is at risk and our mobile way of life itself is threatened, people everywhere are forced to assess their ability to cope. Thus, lines at not only the gas stations, but runs on food and supplies of other types are possible.\n\nI personally do not yet subscribe to the view that we are on the verge of a national emergency that could create a broad and deep internal crisis of confidence. But certainly things do bear watching.\n\nI fully encourage folks to try to stay ahead of the curve wherever they live, making sure you have adequate supplies and fuel stored away now, just in case it is needed in the foreseeable future." ]

[ "Mark Brown\n\nReproduction in female insects encompasses a highly regulated sequence of behavioral, metabolic, and synthetic processes that result in the production of eggs.  As in all other animals, peptide hormones provide precise regulation of physiological and metabolic processes during reproduction.  The primary objective of my research program is to characterize the structure and function of peptide hormones and their receptors involved in the regulation of key reproductive processes in two mosquito species: the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, and the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.\n\nOur research contributes to two concepts shared by insect and vertebrate endocrinology. First, peptide hormones, as chemical messengers, are conserved to a high degree both in structure and function across the phyla of multicellular animals. Second, the nervous and digestive systems of animals use these messengers to coordinate metabolism and homeostasis, so that development and reproduction can occur. The elucidation of key regulatory pathways in mosquitoes can lead to stable and functional peptide mimics or to genetic transformation that may offer a new way to control their development or block pathogen transmission. Mosquitoes are exceptional model systems for this research because each successive cycle of egg maturation begins with a blood meal and ends with egg deposition two to three days later.  Blood provides females with nutrients for egg maturation and metabolic storage, thus enabling survival to initiate another cycle.  Understanding the regulation of reproduction in mosquitoes will give us insight into how pathogens, such as malaria and arboviruses, that are ingested in a blood meal from an infected host, can develop or multiply in the female’s body and be transmitted to a different host, days later.\n\nWe are also interested in understanding how the endocrine system responds to different nutrient states in mosquito larvae and how that response affects development and reproduction. Results from this work may provide insights into better ways to control mosquito populations in the field.\n\nCurrent Research Interests\n\nInsulin-Like Peptides (ILPs)\nIn vertebrates, insulin and related peptides are important growth factors and multifunctional hormones. This family of peptide hormones is structurally conserved across higher invertebrates and insect species. Up to eight ILPs are encoded in the genome of different mosquito species, which leads to the question, why are so many ILPs present in a mosquito? The objective of our collaborative research with Mike Strand is to define the expression, function, and signaling of specific ILPs in mosquito females.\n\nA related project collaborative project with Mike Riehle and Shirley Luckhart investigates how insulin signaling affects mosquito longevity and immunity. Malaria parasites must develop for up to two weeks in the mosquito, and conceptually, this development can be disrupted by enhancing mosquito innate immunity or by shortening the mosquito’s lifespan. Our work shows that exogenous insulin in the blood meal not only modulates lifespan and oxidative stress response in female mosquitoes, but also Plasmodium development. We are characterizing the effects of exogenous human insulin and insulin-growth factors on key processes related to aging, innate immunity, and signaling in the mosquito Anopheles stephensi for comparison to transgenic mosquitoes expressing active proteins involved in insulin signaling.\n\nOvary Ecdysteroidogenic Hormone (OEH)\nThis neurohormone is the functional equivalent of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in vertebrates. OEH was isolated from mosquito head extracts based on its indirect activation of egg maturation in blood-fed decapitated females and direct stimulation of mosquito ovaries to secrete ecdysteroid hormones. In turn, these hormones stimulate the production of yolk proteins, which are stored in mature eggs and used during embryonic development. The receptor for OEH and its mode of action are unknown. We are investigating this aspect of OEH endocrinology and how it and the ILPs coordinately regulate reproduction and other physiological processes in female mosquitoes.\n\nOther Peptide Hormones of Interest\n\nHead Peptide\nThis is the first neuropeptide to be isolated from mosquitoes, and it is a member of the extensive “RFamide” family of animal neuropeptides.   This peptide inhibits the host-seeking behavior of female Ae. aegypti, but its receptor and mode of action have yet to be identified.\n\nNeuropeptide F (NPF)\nMany peptide hormones are extensively distributed in both the brain and gut of vertebrates and coordinate appetite, digestion, and many other processes.  Neuropeptide Y and pancreatic peptide are good examples, and the related NPFs are known for many invertebrates.  We were the first to isolate authentic NPFs from different insect groups and to characterize the NPF receptor and its signaling.  In the fruit fly, NPF is an important regulator of feeding behavior.  In all insects, it likely has other functions, especially in the gut, but for now, NPF has no known function in mosquitoes and other insects.\n\nShort neuropeptide F (sNPF)\nGenes encoding sNPFs are expressed throughout the nervous system of mosquitoes, and multiple peptides are processed from the propeptide.  Although their cognate receptor was identified, nothing is known about the function of sNPF in mosquitoes.\n\nAdipokinetic hormone (AKH)\nThis family of peptide hormones is well characterized for insects, but until recently, nothing was known about the distribution and function of AKH in mosquitoes.  There are two AKHs in mosquitoes, and we showed that the short AKH in fact mobilizes carbohydrate (glycogen) stores and not lipid stores.  Thus, it is a “hypertrehalosemic” hormone – an action similar to that of glucagon and opposite that of insulin in vertebrates.  The coordination of metabolism by this peptide and ILPs in sugar and blood-fed mosquitoes is yet to be explored.", null ]

[ null, "Christopher Abbott who plays Marnie’s love interest, Charlie, on “Girls” is reportedly leaving the show.\n\nOn Thursday, April 4, The New York Post (followed shortly by Rolling Stone Magazine) broke the news that Christopher Abbott, who plays Charlie, will be leaving the cast of “Girls.” Apparently he was at odds with Lena Dunham and did notlike the direction she was taking the show. According to the article, “Abbott’s rep confirmed his departure, telling us: ‘[Chris] is grateful for the experience of collaborating with Lena, Judd [Apatow], and the entire ‘Girls’ cast and crew, but right now he’s working on numerous other projects and has decided not to return to the show.’ Abbott appeared in indie movie “Burma” at SXSW last month. And Dunham’s shaken up the writing staff for the new season.”\n\nViewers have reacted en-mass on Twitter, as Rolling Stone reports in a follow-up article, because *SPOILER ALERTS* at the end of season two Marnie and Charlie get back together. Now that Dunham has begun production for season three, how can she possibly write Charlie off of the show smoothly? The plot just won’t make sense, which presents Dunham with a rather large challenge; either she will flop and “Girls” will go downhill with the discontinuity, or Lena will somehow pull it off and continue in her golden path towards television series greatness. Only time will tell.\n\nI don’t know about you, but this whole stint sure makesme want to catch up to the end of season two and see what happens. Perhaps it is a pr stunt? According to HBO’s published schedule, “Girls” is definitely renewed for a third season and will be filming soon. The premiere date still remains TBA, but it sure will be an interesting episode to kick off season three." ]

In contrast to the DNA sequence, the epigenome is relatively susceptible to modification by the environment as well as stochastic perturbations over time, adding to phenotypic diversity in the population. Despite its strong ties to the environment, epigenetics has never been well reconciled to evolutionary thinking, and in fact there is now strong evidence against the transmission of so-called “epi-alleles,” i.e. epigenetic modifications that pass through the germline.\n\nHowever, genetic variants that regulate stochastic fluctuation of gene expression and phenotypes in the offspring appear to be transmitted as an epigenetic or even Lamarckian trait. Furthermore, even the normal process of cellular differentiation from a single cell to a complex organism is not understood well from a mathematical point of view. There is increasingly strong evidence that stem cells are highly heterogeneous and in fact stochasticity is necessary for pluripotency. This process appears to be tightly regulated through the epigenome in development. Moreover, in these biological contexts, “stochasticity” is hardly synonymous with “noise”, which often refers to variation which obscures a “true signal” (e.g., measurement error) or which is structural, as in physics (e.g., quantum noise). In contrast, “stochastic regulation” refers to purposeful, programmed variation; the fluctuations are random but there is no true signal to mask.\n\nThis workshop will serve as a forum for scientists and engineers with an interest in computational biology to explore the role of stochasticity in regulation, development and evolution, and its epigenetic basis. Just as thinking about stochasticity was transformative in physics and in some areas of biology, it promises to fundamentally transform modern genetics and help to explain phase transitions such as differentiation and cancer.\n\nThis workshop will include a poster session; a request for poster titles will be sent to registered participants in advance of the workshop.\n\nSpeaker List:\nAdam Arkin (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory)\nGábor Balázsi (SUNY Stony Brook)\nDomitilla Del Vecchio (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)\nMichael Elowitz (California Institute of Technology)\nAndrew Feinberg (Johns Hopkins University)\nDon Geman (Johns Hopkins University)\nAnita Göndör (Karolinska Institutet)\nJohn Goutsias (Johns Hopkins University)\nGarrett Jenkinson (Johns Hopkins University)\nAndre Levchenko (Yale University)\nOlgica Milenkovic (University of Illinois)\nJohan Paulsson (Harvard University)\nLeor Weinberger (University of California, San Francisco (UCSF))\n\nThe equations of gauge theory lie at the heart of our understanding of particle physics. The Standard Model, which describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces, is based on the Yang-Mills equations. Starting with the work of Donaldson in the 1980s, gauge theory has also been successfully applied in other areas of pure mathematics, such as low dimensional topology, symplectic geometry, and algebraic geometry.\n\nMore recently, Witten proposed a gauge-theoretic interpretation of Khovanov homology, a knot invariant whose origins lie in representation theory. Khovanov homology is a “categorification” of the celebrated Jones polynomial, in the sense that its Euler characteristic recovers this polynomial. At the moment, Khovanov homology is only defined for knots in the three-sphere, but Witten’s proposal holds the promise of generalizations to other three-manifolds, and perhaps of producing new invariants of four-manifolds.\n\nThis workshop will bring together researchers from several different fields (theoretical physics, mathematical gauge theory, topology, analysis / PDE, representation theory, symplectic geometry, and algebraic geometry), and thus help facilitate connections between these areas.

It recognizes that a core feature of biological systems is that they acquire, store and process information (i.e., perform computation). However to manipulate information in this way they require a steady flux of free energy from their environments. These two, inter-related attributes of biological systems are often taken for granted; they are not part of standard analyses of either the homeostasis or the evolution of biological systems. In this workshop we aim to fill in this major gap in our understanding of biological systems, by gaining deeper insight in the relation between the need for biological systems to process information and the free energy they need to pay for that processing.\n\nThe goal of this workshop is to address these issues by focusing on a set three specific question:\n\nIn all of these cases we are interested in the fundamental limits that the laws of physics impose on various aspects of living systems as expressed by these three questions.\n\nPurpose: Research Collaboration\nSFI Host: David Krakauer, Michael Lachmann, Manfred Laubichler, Peter Stadler, and David Wolpert", "Live Tweeting and Twitter Lists", "IFTTT Recipe for Creating Twitter Lists of Conference Attendees", "A BIRS / Casa Matemática Oaxaca Workshop arriving in Oaxaca, Mexico Sunday, July 31 and departing Friday August 5, 2016\n\nEvolutionary biology is a rapidly changing field, confronted to many societal problems of increasing importance: impact of global changes, emerging epidemics, antibiotic resistant bacteria… As a consequence, a number of new problematics have appeared over the last decade, challenging the existing mathematical models. There exists thus a demand in the biology community for new mathematical models allowing a qualitative or quantitative description of complex evolution problems. In particular, in the societal problems mentioned above, evolution is often interacting with phenomena of a different nature: interaction with other organisms, spatial dynamics, age structure, invasion processes, time/space heterogeneous environment… The development of mathematical models able to deal with those complex interactions is an ambitious task. Evolutionary biology is interested in the evolution of species. This process is a combination of several phenomena, some occurring at the individual level (e.g. mutations), others at the level of the entire population (competition for resources), often consisting of a very large number of individuals. the presence of very different scales is indeed at the core of theoretical evolutionary biology, and at the origin of many of the difficulties that biologists are facing. The development of new mathematical models thus requires a joint work of three different communities of researchers: specialists of partial differential equations, specialists of probability theory, and theoretical biologists. The goal of this workshop is to gather researchers from each of these communities, currently working on close problematics. Those communities have usually few interactions, and this meeting would give them the opportunity to discuss and work around a few biological thematics that are especially challenging mathematically, and play a crucial role for biological applications.\n\nThe role of a spatial structure in models for evolution: The introduction of a spatial structure in evolutionary biology models is often challenging. It is however well known that local adaptation is frequent in nature: field data show that the phenotypes of a given species change considerably across its range. The spatial dynamics of a population can also have a deep impact on its evolution. Assessing e.g. the impact of global changes on species requires the development of robust mathematical models for spatially structured populations.\n\nThe first type of models used by theoretical biologists for this type of problems are IBM (Individual Based Models), which describe the evolution of a finite number of individuals, characterized by their position and a phenotype. The mathematical analysis of IBM in spatially homogeneous situations has provided several methods that have been successful in the theoretical biology community (see the theory of Adaptive Dynamics). On the contrary, very few results exist so far on the qualitative properties of such models for spatially structured populations.\n\nThe second class of mathematical approach for this type of problem is based on ”infinite dimensional” reaction-diffusion: the population is structured by a continuous phenotypic trait, that affects its ability to disperse (diffusion), or to reproduce (reaction). This type of model can be obtained as a large population limit of IBM. The main difficulty of these models (in the simpler case of asexual populations) is the term modeling the competition from resources, that appears as a non local competition term. This term prevents the use of classical reaction diffusion tools such as the comparison principle and sliding methods. Recently, promising progress has been made, based on tools from elliptic equations and/or Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The effects of small populations can however not be observed on such models. The extension of these models and methods to include these effects will be discussed during the workshop.\n\nEco-evolution models for sexual populations:An essential question already stated by Darwin and Fisher and which stays for the moment without answer (although it continues to intrigue the evolutionary biologists) is: ”Why does sexual reproduction maintain?” Indeed this reproduction way is very costly since it implies a large number of gametes, the mating and the choice of a compatible partner. During the meiosis phasis, half of the genetical information is lost. Moreover, the males have to be fed and during the sexual mating, individual are easy preys for predators. A partial answer is that recombination plays a main role by better eliminating the deleterious mutations and by increasing the diversity. Nevertheless, this theory is not completely satisfying and many researches are devoted to understanding evolution of sexual populations and comparison between asexual and sexual reproduction. Several models exist to model the influence of sexual reproduction on evolving species. The difficulty compared to asexual populations is that a detailed description of the genetic basis of phenotypes is required, and in particular include recombinations. For sexual populations, recombination plays a main role and it is essential to understand. All models require strong biological simplifications, the development of relevant mathematical methods for such mechanisms then requires a joint work of mathematicians and biologists. This workshop will be an opportunity to set up such collaborations.\n\nThe first type of model considers a small number of diploid loci (typically one locus and two alleles), while the rest of the genome is considered as fixed. One can then define the fitness of every combination of alleles. While allowing the modeling of specific sexual effects (such as dominant/recessive alleles), this approach neglects the rest of the genome (and it is known that phenotypes are typically influenced by a large number of loci). An opposite approach is to consider a large number of loci, each locus having a small and additive impact on the considered phenotype. This approach then neglects many microscopic phenomena (epistasis, dominant/recessive alleles…), but allows the derivation of a deterministic model, called the infinitesimal model, in the case of a large population. The construction of a good mathematical framework for intermediate situation would be an important step forward.\n\nThe evolution of recombination and sex is very sensitive to the interaction between several evolutionary forces (selection, migration, genetic drift…). Modeling these interactions is particularly challenging and our understanding of the recombination evolution is often limited by strong assumptions regarding demography, the relative strength of these different evolutionary forces, the lack of spatial structure… The development of a more general theoretical framework based on new mathematical developments would be particularly valuable.\n\nAnother problem, that has received little attention so far and is worth addressing, is the modeling of the genetic material exchanges in asexual population. This phenomena is frequent in micro-organisms : horizontal gene transfers in bacteria, reassortment or recombination in viruses. These phenomena share some features with sexual reproduction. It would be interesting to see if the effect of this phenomena can be seen as a perturbation of existing asexual models. This would in particular be interesting in spatially structured populations (e.g. viral epidemics), since the the mathematical analysis of spatially structured asexual populations is improving rapidly.\n\nModeling in evolutionary epidemiology: Mathematical epidemiology has been developing since more than a century ago. Yet, the integration of population genetics phenomena to epidemiology is relatively recent. Microbial pathogens (bacteria and viruses) are particularly interesting organisms because their short generation times and large mutation rates allow them to adapt relatively fast to changing environments. As a consequence, ecological (demography) and evolutionary (population genetics) processes often occur at the same pace. This raises many interesting problems.\n\nA first challenge is the modeling of the spatial dynamics of an epidemics. The parasites can evolve during the epidemics of a new host population, either to adapt to a heterogeneous environment, or because it will itself modify the environment as it invades. The applications of such studies are numerous: antibiotic management, agriculture… An aspect of this problem for which our workshop can bring a significant contribution (thanks to the diversity of its participants) is the evolution of the pathogen diversity. During the large expansion produced by an epidemics, there is a loss of diversity in the invading parasites, since most pathogens originate from a few parents. The development of mathematical models for those phenomena is challenging: only a small number of pathogens are present ahead of the epidemic front, while the number of parasites rapidly become very large after the infection. The interaction between a stochastic micro scale and a deterministic macro scale is apparent here, and deserves a rigorous mathematical analysis.\n\nAnother interesting phenomena is the effect of a sudden change of the environment on a population of pathogens. Examples of such situations are for instance the antibiotic treatment of an infected patients, or the transmission of a parasite to a new host species (transmission of the avian influenza to human beings, for instance). Related experiments are relatively easy to perform, and called evolutionary rescue experiments. So far, this question has received limited attention from the mathematical community. The key is to estimate the probability that a mutant well adapted to the new environment existed in the original population, or will appear soon after the environmental change. Interactions between biologists specialists of those questions and mathematicians should lead to new mathematical problems.", "General IndieWeb Principles\n\nIndie Event\n\nGuest List\nFor more details see: IndieWebCamp LA 2016\n\nTentative Schedule\n\nDay 0 Prep Night\n\nDay 1 Discussion\n\nDay 2 Building\n\nSponsorship opportunities are available for those interested.", "The 2016 School of information will be hosted at Duke University, June 21-23.

Lonely in Love is another great ballad.\nGiuffria released a second album in 1986, Silk and Steel, minus Craig Goldy. Goldy would later join Dio, while Eisley went on to front Dirty White Boy (you can find their album Bad Reputation here). Gregg Giuffria and Wright (who played on Quiet Riot's Metal Health album) hooked up again in House of Lords, which was essentially a Giuffria spin-off band.\nIf you've never heard this album before, you need to download it right now! 1980s keyboard-oriented AOR doesn't get much better than this!" ]

[ "But a new study from EDC has found that only half of all families routinely incorporate informal science activities into their daily life. But it’s not for lack of interest: 7 out of 10 parents reported that they would do more science with their young children if they knew what to do.\n\n“Early science exploration is key to creating lifelong problem-solvers,” says EDC’s Shelley Pasnik, an early childhood expert who led the research team on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education’s program Ready To Learn. “We want to help parents learn some simple, fun, and meaningful science activities that they can do with their children, so that science learning becomes as natural as reading to them at bedtime.”\n\nHere are four easy things that every parent can do to nurture children’s interest in the world around them.\n\n1. Make a mess\n\nYoung children love making a mess. Parents need only a couple of materials to turn mess-making into fun and collaborative science exploration.", null, "For young kids, spray a heap of foamy shaving cream onto a metal cookie sheet and encourage your child to touch, shape, and play with the substance. Ask “What does the shaving cream feel like?” and “What kind of shapes can you make out of it?” For more fun, add food coloring and observe how it travels throughout the shaving cream. Add more colors. Then mix it up!\n\nOlder children may enjoy making “slime” (here’s one simple recipe). There’s a lot of science embedded in this project: children have to measure and mix ingredients, and parents can ask questions about the properties of this unique substance. What makes it so “slimy?” What are some ways to make the substance either more or less gooey?\n\n2. Play with water\n\nYou can do a lot of engaging science activities with a sink, some plastic bottles, and a few toys.", null, "“Water play gets children exploring water’s liquid properties,” says EDC’s Cindy Hoisington, a long-time science educator. “Pouring, spraying, and squirting water all help children build foundational experiences about water and how it looks, moves, and behaves. And they can continue to refer to these initial experiences as they grow older and investigate other liquids.”\n\nFor starters, fill up the sink and then examine which objects float—and which fall to the bottom. Ask your child to share their ideas about why these objects float or sink, and then carry out some follow-up explorations to test their ideas. Or have your child fill containers of different sizes and shapes, and encourage them to describe how the shape of the water changes when they pour it from one container to another.\n\nReady for more? Poke a few holes along one side of a plastic bottle (an empty 1-liter soda bottle works great) and then fill it up with water. Now turn the bottle upright, and observe how the water pours out of the different holes. Ask: What do you see? What happens to the streams as the water level in the bottle gets lower and lower?\n\n3. Build ramps\n\nStructural engineering is science too, and explorations of motion and gravity can be fun for everyone. Here’s a simple activity: use LEGOs, cardboard, or even discarded recyclables to build a ramp, and then roll a marble down it. Work with your child to figure out how to make the marble go slower or faster. Or build two ramps and have a race!", null, "For an added challenge, see if you can get the marble to come to rest in a small container (such as a tin can or a small box) at the end of its journey down the ramp. What modifications do you have to make to the ramp to better control the path and speed of the marble?\n\nFinally, consider using a cell phone to film some of these trials. Watching these quick videos with your child offers more opportunities for scientific conversation and may even prompt new questions about the exploration.\n\n4. Observe the world around you\n\nYou can still do a lot of science even if you don’t have any materials available—just look up, down, or around. For example, when you’re outside, ask your child to look up and describe how the clouds are moving or why they think the swing keeps swinging after it is pushed. Or turn over some rocks at the base of a tree and talk about what you find.", null, "Need more ideas? Look to public media. The PBS KIDS programs Curious George, Ruff Ruffman, and Ready, Jet, Go all pose interesting, age-appropriate questions for young scientists to explore. Try watching one of these programs with your child, and then use the programs’ digital apps and offline activities to keep these explorations going.\n\nNo matter what the science experiment is, the most important thing is to let your child take the lead, says Hoisington.\n\n“Parents often think that the point of science is for them to teach their child science facts,” she says. “But children notice and wonder about all kinds of interesting things. They are constantly raising questions, testing things out, and developing ideas about how and why the world works the way it does. That’s the essence of science. The most powerful thing a parent can do is to pay attention to their child’s interests and questions. Then they can join in with their child’s investigations and help them figure out how to learn more.”" ]

[ "Yad Kennedy (Hebrew: יד קנדי), located in the Mateh Yehuda Region near Jerusalem, Israel, is a memorial to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, who was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963. The 60-foot high (18 m) memorial is shaped like the stump of a felled tree, symbolizing a life cut short.[1] Inside is a bronze relief of Kennedy, with an eternal flame burning in the center.[1][2] It is encircled by 51 concrete columns, one for each of the 50 states in the United States plus one for Washington, D.C., that nation's capital.[3] The emblems of the states (and of the District of Columbia) are displayed on each of the columns,[3] and the columns are separated by slim panels of glass.[4] The monument measures approximately 250 feet (76 m) in circumference around its base,[4] and there is space within the memorial for approximately 100 visitors at a time.[3] The monument was built in 1966 with funds donated by American Jewish communities.[1]\n\nYad Kennedy and its adjoining picnic grounds are part of the John F. Kennedy Peace Forest.[5]\n\nThe Hebrew word yad, which is used for a number of memorials in Israel (including the well-known Holocaust memorial museum Yad Vashem), comes from the Book of Isaiah, chapter 56, verse 5: \"And to them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name (yad vashem).\"[6]", "View of Yad Kennedy on hilltop\n\nThe site is located 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Jerusalem, in the same general direction as Hadassah Medical Center, on top of the highest of the Jerusalem hills,[1] at an elevation of 825 metres (2,707 ft).[4] The site overlooks what was at the time of the dedication the Jordanian village of Bittar (now a part of Israel's West Bank), the historic site of Betar, famous as the last stronghold of the Jewish revolt led by Simon Bar Kochba against Roman forces in 132–135 CE.[1][5] The view from the parking lot has been described in the Frommer's travel guide as \"breathtaking – a never-ending succession of mountains and valleys.\"[5] On a clear day, the Mediterranean Sea can be seen in the direction of Tel Aviv, 40 miles (64 km) away.[7] The memorial can be reached by following the winding mountain roads past Ora and Aminadav. It is approximately 45 minutes by foot from the nearest main road, where the closest Jerusalem city bus is #20, although special tour buses are normally utilized for group visits.[5][8]\n\nThe monument and adjoining picnic grounds are part of the John F. Kennedy Peace Forest. The area designated as the JFK Peace Forest is part of the larger \"Aminadav Forest\", a 7,000-dunam forest in Ein Kerem.[2]", null, "Interior with eternal flame and columns decorated with state seals\n\nMax Bressler of Chicago, Illinois, then president of the American Jewish National Fund, came up with the proposal for the memorial in 1964.[9][10] Bressler, for whom the Jerusalem neighborhood of Kiryat Menachem is named, had hoped to lead an American delegation to the dedication ceremony, but he died in 1966.[10]\n\nOn 13 January 1964, former Pennsylvania Governor George M. Leader announced plans for the memorial, stating that he would serve as the General Chair of a State committee to raise funds.[11] He stated that similar committees would be set up in each State, as well as some additional committees in countries overseas.[11] On 22 November 1964, the first anniversary of the assassination, the Jewish National Fund sponsored meetings in major Jewish communities throughout the United States.[12] The meetings were described as tributes for the fallen President as well as symbolic dedication ceremonies for the planned memorial.[12]\n\nAmerican communities pledged to fund the planting of trees in the forest in addition to funds for the memorial. For example, in July 1965, the community of Los Angeles, California pledged to have 100,000 trees planted as a result of a banquet sponsored by JNF attended by more than 1000 government, union, and management leaders.[13]", "Dedication plaque at Yad Kennedy, Jerusalem\n\nNearly 2000 people, including many official guests representing the Israeli and United States governments, came to witness the dedication, along with hundreds of tourists, American students, and Israelis.[1]\n\nAn Israeli children's band played Hatikva, the Israeli national anthem, along with the U.S. anthem, the Star Spangled Banner.[1] The New York Times reported that the children \"tried valiantly\" to play the U.S. song, playing very slowly, but then many strong voices from among the crowd helped out until the music \"swept the audience.\"[1]", "Close up of sloping columns\n\nAmong the guests at the 4 July 1966 dedication was U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren, who had chaired the commission tasked with investigating the 1963 assassination.[4] Among other guests were Levi Eshkol, Prime Minister of Israel, Teddy Kollek, the mayor of Jerusalem, and Walworth Barbour, the United States Ambassador to Israel.[9]\n\nChief Justice Warren, who was reported to be so enthusiastic about the memorial after actually seeing it for the first time that he rewrote his remarks, noted:\n\n\"We choose to do this on the American Independence Day but also in honor of the independence of Israel and other free nations. We are all confronted here by history because this is the birthplace of the world's three religions on which our own civilization is based and which contributed the all-important principle that all people are God's children and entitled to live in peace.\"[9]\n\nWarren noted that Washington, D.C. had many memorials, but that this area, with the forest as a \"living memorial,\" would have \"greatly pleased\" Kennedy for two reasons. First, Kennedy himself had spoken of the importance of planting trees in Israel, when he had addressed a 1958 Jewish National Fund meeting while serving as a junior Senator from Massachusetts, saying, \"What work could be more heartwarming or more enduring than the great forest at Jerusalem. Your children and grandchildren when they visit Israel will find your monument\".[1] Second, Warren recalled that Kennedy had visited Israel twice, the first time in 1939 when it was still part of the British Mandate, and the second time in 1951. Speaking in 1951 of the differences between the people he witnessed during those two visits, he said that \"Perhaps the greatest change of all I found in the hearts and minds of the people, For unlike the discouraged settlers of 1939 they looked to the future with hope. I found a revival of an ancient spirit\".[1] Warren concluded his remarks by saying he would use the same word that President Kennedy would have used: \"Shalom.\"[9]\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Eshkol spoke as well, noting that Kennedy's memory would be kept alive by this memorial \"not only as a friend of Israel but also as a symbol of the lofty ideals of his country and of all humanity,\" dedicating the memorial to \"the man who opened new frontiers of international relations and human friendships.\"[9]\n\nIn remarks offered by the American ambassador to Israel, Walworth Barbour, he noted that \"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors. In thus honoring and remembering the late President Kennedy, the men and women of the Jewish National Fund honor themselves--beyond and above the glory they have already earned in their work for Israel.\"[1]\n\nJacob Tsur, world president of the Jewish National Fund, praised the memorial as well, \"conceived in the shape of a mighty trunk of a fallen tree, among the thousands of saplings which will grow one day into a great forest.\"[1]", null, "Bronze relief of John F. Kennedy at Yad Kennedy\n\nYad Kennedy was designed by the Brazilian-born[14] Israeli architect David Resnick, who later won the 1995 Israel Prize in architecture,[14] and the Ukrainian-born[15] Israeli sculptor Dov Feigin.[16] Feigin created the bust of Kennedy along with a memorial wall that includes excerpts from a number of Kennedy's speeches.[3] Resnick said that \"the entire complex is intended to symbolize the vigor of a great man whose life was tragically ended in mid-growth by assassination\".[3]\n\nResnick was awarded the contract to design the memorial after a nationwide competition.[8] His initial vision for the memorial was a \"free form\" but generally circular shape, set within a reflecting pool.[8] However, because money was being raised for the memorial by groups in all 50 states in the U.S., as well as groups in Washington, D.C., a vision of columns for each of those locations ultimately helped him come up with the concept of a tree trunk, linked to the idea that Kennedy's life had been cut down like a tree that is felled in its prime.[8] The courtyard below the memorial includes a number of plaques acknowledging contributions by individuals and groups.[8]\n\nIn addition to the Kennedy relief and eternal flame, papers and photographs relating to the subject of Israel-United States relations until the time of Kennedy's assassination are kept in a small library.[17]\n\nIn 1974, a picnic site was added on the grounds of the memorial, open to visitors.[18] The JNF announced that the site would \"include rustic benches and tables, water facilities and shaded eating areas,\" and would be \"close to the impressive stone and metal memorial–but far enough away not to pollute the area.\"[18]\n\nKennedy Peace Forest", null, "Kennedy Family Planting Circle\n\nThe Kennedy Peace Forest was dedicated before the memorial, with official dedication ceremonies taking place on 22 November 1964, on the first anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.[19]\n\nIn June 1966 Jewish National Fund officials announced that 1.5 million trees had already been planted in the forest in preparation for the memorial's planned 4 July dedication ceremonies.[20] The announcement noted that another 2 million trees had been planted in the adjoining \"United States Freedom Forest,\" with a goal of planting 5.5 million trees in the two forests, as a number equal to the Jewish population of the United States.[20] More than three million dollars in donations had been received at that point for the Kennedy Forest, from more than 100,000 donors.[20]\n\nIn June 1968, the JNF announced it would plant 500,000 trees in the Kennedy Forest in memory of John F. Kennedy's brother, Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated on 6 June of that year. [21] In 1999, JNF announced that trees would also be planted in memory of John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette, all victims of a 16 July 1999 plane crash in the ocean off Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.[22][23]\n\nIn April 1989 a forest fire (possibly the result of arson) destroyed approximately 8 acres (3.2 ha) and 3000 trees in the forest.[24]\n\nSpecial events\n\nAmong the many special events that have taken place at the memorial was a visit by a number of officers and crew members from the United States aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV67), named in honor of the same U.S. President memorialized by this monument, during a 1997 port visit to Haifa.[25]\n\nTree planting\n\nA VIP Kennedy Memorial tree planting center is included on the grounds of the memorial, where many distinguished visitors from other countries have planted trees.[26] In May 1978 Jacqueline Kennedy, widow of the president, visited the memorial and planted a tree in the forest.[27][28] Other members of the Kennedy family who have visited the memorial and planted trees include U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (JFK's brother), on 11 December 1986;[29] Joan Kennedy (Teddy Kennedy's first wife), on 24 January 1983;[30] and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his sister Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (JFK's nephew and niece; children of Robert F. Kennedy), on 1 January 1987.[31] A special \"Kennedy Family Planting Circle\" was established by the Jewish National Fund.[32][33] In 2001 Kennedy's daughter Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, then Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, visited Yad Kennedy during her tour of Israel with her husband and three of her four daughters.[34]", "U.S. Navy chaplains including Chief of Chaplains Rear Admiral Byron Holderby (second from right) plant trees during a 1998 visit to Yad Kennedy\n\nVisiting American military personnel are among those who plant trees at the memorial because of its remembrance of an American president. Among those who have planted trees at the site are former Chiefs of Chaplains of the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force.[25]\n\nIsraeli groups also take part in the tree planting tradition, especially on the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, an occasion linked to trees. On some occasions as many as 4000 Israeli school children have come to the Kennedy Peace Forest to plant trees on that holiday.[35]\n\nIn addition to individual or group tree plantings, there have been special occasions when smaller \"forests\" have been dedicated within the larger John F. Kennedy Peace Forest. For example, as early as January 1966, even before the dedication of the memorial, a forest was planted in honor of Ambassador Avraham Harman, Israel's ambassador to the United States.[36] The \"Avraham Harman Forest\" was contributed by Bnai Zion, a pro-Israel \"fraternal group\" in the U.S., and Golda Meir, newly retired from her post as Israel's Prime Minister, was one of the participants in the dedication ceremony.[36]\n\nOther specially designated areas within the larger John F. Kennedy Peace Forest include a \"woodland\" set up to memorialize the victims of the 1972 Lydda airport (now named Ben Gurion International Airport) terrorist attack.[37]" ]

But making such collaboration a reality is challenging. Here, we report the summary of a 2016 workshop on the significance and challenges of international collaboration on climate engineering research with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Because of the region’s interest in benefits and risks of climate engineering, there is a potential synergy between impact research on anthropogenic global warming and that on solar radiation management. Local researchers in the region can help make progress toward better understanding of impacts of solar radiation management. These activities can be guided by an ad hoc Asia-Pacific working group on climate engineering, a voluntary expert network. The working group can foster regional conversations in a sustained manner while contributing to capacity building. An important theme in the regional conversation is to develop effective practices of dialogues in light of local backgrounds such as cultural traditions and past experiences of large-scale technology development. Our recommendation merely portrays one of several possible ways forward, and it is our hope to stimulate the debate in the region.\n\nWe thank all the participants at the workshop for their intellectual inputs.

[ "MOVIE REVIEW: \"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey\"\n\nComing up short\n\nby Willie Clark\n\nDecember 17, 2012", null, "“The Hobbit,” the shortest of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth works, is a simple story. In it, a group of 13 dwarves drag the titular hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, on a quest to reclaim their mountain home of Erebor from the dastardly dragon Smaug. Director and producer Peter Jackson, after his great success adapting “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy into films a decade ago, returns with a new vision, although one that is both limited by — and fails to measure up to — his previous efforts.\n\nTaking the shortest source material (a children’s fairy tale, really) and splitting it into not two, but three films, was a questionable decision, and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” does nothing to quell those fears. The first film in this new trilogy includes large chunks of unnecessary filler — sure, it may be Jackson’s shortest Tolkien-based film, but the viewer feels every minute of its two-hour-and-40-minute run time, resulting in a slow, long winded, and bloated affair.\n\nThe real shame is that Jackson and company sacrifice the charm and character of the “The Hobbit” book and force it to line up with the darker world Jackson already filmed. Gone are things like the cheery singing elves and the whimsical talking eagles, replaced with Jackson’s bread and butter: large-scale battle and chase scenes. The dwarves’ small-scale quest for gold becomes an almost diaspora-like lust for a homeland. Jackson does manage to give more weight to the group’s motivation than just greed — a welcome change, but one that tries to set the events in the film up as much more perilous than they actually are.\n\nAttempting to make a darker version of “The Hobbit” isn’t a bad decision, but by removing the unique charm and tone, Jackson cuts too close to what we’ve seen before. It doesn’t help that most of these locations — The Shire, Rivendell, the Misty Mountains — have all been seen before, and that’s not all that seems familiar. Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) feels like an action figure, spouting catch phrases like “Run!” and “Over here!” that seem like sound bites from the original trilogy. Bringing back Frodo (Elijah Wood) is just one of an unnecessary long line of nods to the audience to try to underscore that this is the same universe. We know it is, Jackson. We know.\n\nWith 13 dwarves (a much more attractive and Hollywood-friendly portrayal of Tolkien's stodgy and bearded men — several lack beards at all) it’s a challenge to make any of them stand out, making the movie Bilbo’s to steal. Martin Freeman runs away with it. His portrayal of Bilbo is pitch perfect, right down to the small hand movements and facial gestures, capturing the self doubt, humor, and mannerisms of dear Mr. Baggins. The riddles in the dark scene between Bilbo and Gollum (Andy Serkis) stands out as the best in the film, and Freeman’s performance is one of a few truly special elements (aside from the brilliant, haunting Misty Mountain musical theme) that make the film feel fresh.\n\nAs much as I’m a proponent of the more Tolkien books filmed the better, purists will likely be divided. Jackson takes several unnecessarily large departures from the source material. Some of them are welcome (I’m looking forward to more of Radagast and the Necromancer) as they actually took place during “The Hobbit” just outside of the main narrative. But with this film it sometimes felt as if he was meddling with plot and character simply to meddle, and in the process of doing so has already created several inconsistencies that hopefully will be addressed in the later films.\n\nWhat this film may become best known for is Jackson’s shooting it at 48 frames per second. Amidst the doubt, Jackson was right on the money with the new format (shot at twice the frame rate of regular movies), which makes the images clearer, crisper, and more lifelike. After seeing the film twice, once in 24 FPS and once in 48 FPS, the latter really is beautiful and it brings you closer to the actors, almost as if you’re watching live theater. The new look does take some getting used to: the first few minutes of the film seem almost sped up, and film die-hards might not like the “soap opera” effect that replaces the grainy look of film. The change in format might not create the best look for “The Hobbit” or other fantasy films (it makes everything look super real, almost silly, in some instances) as it removes the watcher from the world and reminds them that it’s just actors in costumes, but it creates a level of realism that hasn’t been seen in filmmaking before.\n\nThe filming choices don’t save the content of the movie, though, and where “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy set a very high bar and created one of cinema’s timeless trilogies, “The Hobbit” sacrifices character, charm, and uniqueness to an unmemorable end, creating an inconsistent film that struggles between the lighthearted source material and the more serious tone of the previous films. If the first part of a three-movie set already feels this stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread, it bears asking if Jackson’s real quest here — much like the dwarves — is simply for more box-office gold, not giving the story the telling it deserves." ]

Between moving monologues, well-navigated layers of moral ambiguity, and singing that will give you goosebumps, this production is community theater at its finest.\n\nThrough the course of the play, Baldwin unpacks the many complexities and conflicts riding the members of a family and a small congregation of a storefront church. Themes include an estranged husband, a struggling mother, a son spreading his wings, and the ways a \"bully pulpit\" can be used as leverage rather than true leadership. And it's ultimately about crucial struggle to love people through the worst of everything; the play preaches that love will be the thing that delivers us.", null, "In short, \"The Amen Corner\" follows the story of a beloved pastor, Margaret (Deborah Solomon), who has raised her son, David (James Kates), largely alone, and whips her congregation into holy order through energetic sermons. She asks them to lead purely righteous lives, leaving no room for moral half-stepping even where it concerns means of survival or support of a fallen family.\n\nEarly on, Baldwin provides a hint about the damning secret Margaret harbors, when she cavalierly suggests that Mrs. Jackson (Whitney M. Randall), whose infant is gravely ill and whose husband is disinterested in the church, leave said husband.\n\nThe sudden reappearance of Margaret's dying husband Luke (Tremell Hale) sets in motion her steady fall from grace. A damning revelation creates doubt within her congregation, and she is accused of hypocrisy and worse.\n\nWhat follows is Solomon's engaging performance of Margaret's stubborn pushback against these developments, and her retreat into the cold refuge of her holy mantle. Kates quickens his formerly obedient yet cagey David with a palpable struggle to express his ideas to his domineering mother. And the various players portraying members of the critical congregation are a welcome source of mirth, with their excellently executed expressions, clever mannerisms, and subtle asides, in an otherwise heavy tale.", null, "In one particularly catalyzing conversation between estranged father and son, it is revealed to us the event -- one that we can easily imagine would rend even the closest of couples -- that set each parent on their current path.\n\nHale plays a world-weary and patient Luke who is frank about his own faults, but encourages his son to follow his heart. It wasn't music that led to his downfall, Luke claims, but the loss of his family. Hale and Kates expertly convey the brutally awkward and cuttingly earnest nature of the moment, in which father and son try to piece together what is left in the time that remains.\n\n\"The Amen Corner\" is semi-autobiographical. Baldwin wrote parts of himself into David, who epitomizes his experience in wrestling himself away from the church. Baldwin was a child preacher, but left the practice, and later the country, and spent his life honing his eloquence and arguments, and serving as a driving force in the background of the Civil Rights Movement.\n\nThe evening wrapped with a discussion led by Thomas Warfield, assistant professor at NTID, which consisted of audience members weighing in on their reactions to the play, and cast members disclosing the various ways their characters' experiences mirrored their own.\n\nThough the play was written in 1954, and was a reflection on Baldwin's experiences from even earlier decades, the various themes of the role of religion and familial turmoil still feel immediate. \"Baldwin wrote about ordinary people, but kind of tore them open,\" Warfield said.\n\nPerformances continue each evening through Saturday, January 23, at 7:30 p.m. Following each performance, a talk back will be held, led by different members of the community. Tickets are $15 ($10 students) for Thursday through Saturday nights. A discussion and reflection with the cast will be held Monday, January 25, 1 p.m. at MuCCC (suggested donation $5 per family). For more information, call 866-811-4111 or visit muccc.org." ]

[ "Before baby, I could read a book in a week and be done with that.. Now given the hectic schedules of mummyhood I had to take my time with Americanah. Page by page, week by week, the chapters unfolded layers of emotional reactions which surprised me . When I finally finished the book, I felt a strong urge to find someone to talk about it with. So I did just that, through friends and online forums, I realized something , if felt like we all read different versions of the book based on our individual ethnic perspectives. I know that sounds odd, but there you go.. Chimamanda gave me a precious gift with this novel. I finally found a book in which I could relate 100 % with the main character. I love books, I remember as a child my mum built us a bookcase as long as our room and filled with a variety of books. I grew up with Enid Blyton, sweet valley high , the famous five and progressed to Agatha Christie, Poirot, Steig Larsson, Dan brown.. and so on and so forth. I read anything I can find, biographies, fantasy, thrillers, history books, anything. As I read, I often picture the world the author created which is probably why I love harry potter so much..the fantasy was brilliant. I have read authors of afro carribean origin , books around slavery, racism, empowerment, gender,urban life. Books about African savannahs, or village life, african folk tales and royalties They all informed and motivated me, the made me develop my thoughts and my perspectives. But I never identified with any of it on a deep personal level as it was not really a lived experience. What Americanah offers me , is a reflection of myself and my past experience. Every chapter was a world I once belong to. All the references in the book were realities in my mind. I understood Ife’s actions and reasonings as if they were my own. It was wonderful. I thought back to being a child in Lagos, with NEPA going off..I remembered not being consciously aware of bring black or thinking about ethnicities until I was almost a teenager abroad, my hair journey..something I am still struggling with today. Everything was so relevant, I just didn’t want to the book to end. I didn’t want my story to end. I finally get it. When I was living in France a while back there as a big movement about how ethnic minorities are not reflected or represented in everyday life. For example you could sit on an entire metro journey and not see a person of African or Arabic decent represented on publicity posters . The same could generally be said for magazines, products in the hair counter etc etc.. the people of Paris as represented by popular culture were generally stripped of ethnic mélange. I felt strongly about this as an issue of equality and national identity but its only today that I realize how much it affects our self worth and emotional wellbeing. I learnt so many valuable things in that book . Being multicultural I often feel like I’m neither in one nor the other entirely but this book showed me that there are millions of people out there who are culturally in between with similar life experiences as me, which makes me part of a rather large community. I was reminded of this when I chatted with someone and they said “it would be nice to meet over coffee or fish pepper soup, “ that made me smile long after the conversation was over. That’s me right there, in my world crepes and fufu go perfectly together in the same afternoon ! lol,", null, "Americanah ChimamandaNgoziAdichie\n\nBirthing experience for c-section.\n\n- March 10, 2017", "Why are you brown?\n\n- April 27, 2018", "We love Todd Parr books!\n\nA.

[ null, "St. Joan of Arc, patron saint of France\n\nFeast Day: May 30\n\nThanks to movies, books and popular legend, St. Joan of Arc seems more familiar than many saints because we have seen her depicted as a male soldier, wearing military armor. But did you know that this courageous peasant girl from the 15th century, who helped drive the English from French territory during their long-running war, never had any military training? Did you know she never learned how to read or write? And in spite of no formal religious training, Joan of Arc was able to speak eloquently about theology and her faith at her trial.\n\nMotivated by visions when she was just 12 years old, Joan spent a great deal of time in prayer as a young girl, and was wise beyond her years. Due to her success on the battlefield, she was eventually captured by the English and put on trial for political reasons. Deemed a heretic and a witch, Joan defended herself and her faith with grace and composure. At one point, she was asked a trick question about being in God’s grace, which according to Church doctrine, one could not know for sure. Joan answered: “If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.”\n\nIn spite of a lack of evidence, Joan was sentenced to death in 1431 at the age of 19. While she was being tied to the stake, she asked for a cross, and was given one. Twenty-five years after her trial, her sentence was annulled and she was declared a martyr by the Church. She was canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV." ]

[ "Much of my inspiration comes from nature. In particular, I like to zoom in; the tiniest creatures give me the most pleasure — iridescent dragonflies darting over a sparkling pond, or cheery little birds going about their business of collecting food for their young. I tend to think of these subjects as small in scale, grand in scope. To capture this, I typically utilize lyrical, swirling lines and bright colors to express the delight I take in these small creatures. I'm also inspired when I feel tiny — a single entity in a world of wonder — gazing up at a sky full of stars on a crisp night, or watching waves roll in as I dip my toes into the ocean. Again, color and line are my elements of choice to portray such mood and emotion. In keeping with my approach, most of my original works are small as well, as I like the intimacy of finding surprises in a piece I can hold in one hand.", null ]

Wanting to remediate this, Principal Santarsiero and his staff decided upon a plan of action which required a complete overhaul of school operations. Principal Santarsiero ensured that only the finest teachers and staff would work with our students.\n\nMany strategies were put into place; all of them remain. We moved to a Distributive Leadership Model, conducted meetings utilizing a modified version of Robert's Rules of Order, conducted SRBI and Data Team meetings with agendas and with great fidelity, instituted day-long 6-week rotational Grade Level Meetings, adopted school-wide norms of behavior, added an interventionist model to provide small, flex group services to all students in Tiers 2 and 3 of the SRBI process, added a Family Resource Center, and reached out to the community for student mentors.\n\nOur Morris Street School community has learned that by implementing all strategies with great fidelity and with a strong sense of purpose, sustaining growth in all areas would be possible. This, coupled with an outstanding school culture, has allowed us to create a school environment which is warm, open, welcoming, and where student learning excels daily." ]

[ "During the last decades large carnivores have been gradually returning to their original homeland where they were nearly exterminated tens or hundreds of years ago. The same case is the Czech Republic, where the spring of 2014 quite unexpectedly saw a wolf pair only several tens of kilometres away from the capital of Prague which then had pups in the following months. Eurasian lynx has recovered after Second World War and later in 80’s during reintroduction programs. Brown bears have been spotted regularly since 70’s in the Carpathian area on Czech-Slovakia borderlands.\n\nThe monitoring large carnivores in the area of the Czech Republic has so far been carried out predominantly by snow-tracking in selected areas or by registering accidental observations. Only in the Šumava and Beskydy Mountains camera trapping is also carried out today and telemetric research was also done in the past. Information on the presence and number of the carnivores in the Czech Republic is therefore not complete and makes a more exact evaluation of the situation impossible. At the same time the monitoring of large carnivores and the wild cat is extremely demanding on human resources, technical equipment and finances.\n\nCompleting reliable data from the Czech Republic and their integration with the findings from the surrounding states is of cardinal importance for the understanding of the population dynamics of carnivores within Europe and the protection of biodiversity. The area of Central Europe represents a crossroads of potential wildlife corridors which can be used for the migration of a relatively large source population of carnivores from the East and the fragmented population from the West. This role could be taken on by e.g. the Sudetenland mountain ranges in the north which have not been monitored systematically yet. One the other hand, the Carpathian Mountains could serve as a bridge between the populations from the Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The presented project is primarily focused on these areas.\n\nThe main aim of the project is to acquire reliable information on the current presence and number of important European carnivore species – grey wolf, brown bear, Eurasian lynx and wild cat – in the selected areas within the Natura 2000 network. The project will be realised via collaboration of universities, non-governmental organisations and state-organised nature protection using modern methods of research (camera-trapping, genetic research and habitat modelling).", null, "Produced as a part of the project “Monitoring of important European carnivore species in selected localities within the Natura 2000 network” which was supported by a grant from Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway.

[ "More than ever, students are considering alternatives to academic colleges. Major debt burdens and poor job prospects for recent college grads has sparked a major re-think about the relative advantages of attending a trade school instead of a traditional four-year university.\n\nThat means the pool of potential students for your trade school is growing. And inbound marketing is the perfect diving board.\n\nHere are four reasons why vocational schools are primed to succeed with inbound marketing.\n\nTrade School Prospects Do Their Research\n\nPeople who want to attend trade school are active researchers. They have a very practical outlook. They don't want to carry a lot of debt. They want good job prospects at the end of their studies. They'll do the hard work of investigating what school offers them the best potential.\n\nThat's great news for you. Having a prospect pool of prospective students engaged in research means a lot of opportunity for you connect with them. The best way to get started? Draw them in with content.\n\nYour school already has a store of content to start you off: program descriptions, alumni success stories, professor biographies, course syllabi. Talk to admissions to find out what questions prospective students are asking. Create content that answers these questions.\n\nHave they settled on a field of study or do they want career-choice guidance from the school? Do they want to learn more about a specific career to determine if it's right for them? What do they want to know about campus life, especially since students live off campus? Are they wondering whether there are other students like them, whether they'll fit in?\n\nGet a group together from admissions, various departments, and marketing to brainstorm a monster list of prospect questions.\n\n>> Read more about SEO for schools here\n\nHigh Opportunity to Connect at Every Stage of the Buyer's Journey\n\nBecause trade school prospects research so heavily, you can attract them at any point during their buyer's journey. At HubSpot, we break the buyer's journey into three main phases: awareness, consideration, and decision.\n\nAlign each piece of content and call-to-action (CTA) to a specific buyer journey phase. We call this \"content mapping.\" As your brainstorm team works on your monster list of questions, think about what questions your different personas are asking at each phase.\n\nFor example, during the awareness phase prospects are looking to educate themselves about what options exist. They don't have questions yet about your school. They're still trying to figure out what types of certifications or training are needed for the career they're thinking about. Or what the career path for that trade might look like. Their questions also vary by persona. An adult who's already in the workforce and looking to improve their credentials will have different questions than a high school student who isn't sure yet what career choice is right for them.\n\nKeep your school-specific content and CTAs for the consideration and decision phases, when they want to know how your school will meet their needs.\n\nWinning at SEO: Long Tail Keywords\n\nOne of the components of successful content mapping is knowing what keywords and terms are relevant to your prospects' search behavior. Trade schools can rock SEO because you can take advantage of very specific keywords, called \"long tail keywords\" (LTK).\n\nUnlike a traditional 4-year school, your school's degrees are already tied to specific topics of extreme interest to your prospective students. Have your faculty show off their expertise online. Don't let them save it for the classroom only.\n\nHelp them share their practical expertise online through creating great content — e.g. video snippets of class sessions, PDFs of class handouts, blog posts about a recent principle or lesson students tend to struggle with, or enjoy, etc. Your faculty's content, by default, should already contain many of the LTKs your prospective students are using to find the degree program and the school they're seeking.\n\nThere is less competition for LTKs, which not only helps you rank high for the right ones, but makes it less expensive for you to do so. You have a wide range of unique strings of phrases that are all applicable for your prospects searching about trade schools and careers.\n\nHowever mere word count isn't enough. You need specificity. Your school won't rank for \"online trade schools.\" But it might for \"accredited online accounting degree.\" Add another data point to your monster content topic list. What's the LTK to be used with each piece of content?\n\nLTKs have a lower search volume than common terms, but the traffic they attract is highly motivated. This is why LTKs have conversion rates up to 2.5 times better than more popular search terms. In fact, 70% of all search traffic comes from LTKs.\n\nYou're Agile\n\nUnlike more traditional academic institutions, trade schools often have a relatively flexible and agile marketing department. Perhaps there are fewer stakeholders who insist on being part of the conversation. Maybe there's less bureaucracy, or perhaps more urgency.\n\nWhatever the reason, metric-rich inbound marketing works best with a \"test, review, and refine\" attitude. Marketing teams that have the agility to try new things, and cycle quickly through them, will find the most success with inbound.\n\nAre you hearing your students have adopted a new social media or messaging app? Test out some content there. Are you seeing that a lot of your traffic is coming from mobile devices? Maybe the students in your game development department can put together a fun app.\n\nThe winds of post-high school education are shifting. But the field is crowded with trade schools. Use the power of inbound marketing to attract the right kind of student for your school and benefit from increasing trade school enrollments.", null, "How Successful People Spend Their Monday Mornings [Infographic]\n\nUgh, Mondays.

It has made my meal/menu planning that much easier, and I absolutely love the software.  It is so easy to make up menus, generate grocery lists, and print up menus/recipes so they are on hand and ready to go each week.  I thought I would start sharing my menus on my blog again.  You’ll see that my meals are very easy, and don’t involve a lot of preparation.  I’m not a great cook, so “easy” is my theme song. :) I’ll post my menus each week, and if you see a recipe you think you’d be interested in, let me know and I’ll post that too.  I get many of my recipes from other blogs and websites, so I’ll give credit to those sites, and you can visit them…especially if I have to “tweak” the recipe at all for our tastes.\n\nSo…here is our dinner menu for this coming week.  The picture is of our dish for Thursday night ~ Three Cheese Pasta Bake.", "Sunday ~ Cheese Dreams\n\nMonday ~ Amy’s Chicken  Casserole\nGreen Beans\n\nTuesday ~ BLTs\n\nWednesday ~ Creamy Velvet Chicken Soup\n\nThursday ~ Three Cheese Pasta Bake\n\nFriday ~ Tacos\nRefried Beans\n\nSaturday ~ Pizza\n\nSunday evenings we get home late, so we need something quick and easy.  Cheese dreams are very easy to make, and we will either have those on Sunday evenings, or Sloppy Joes, or hot dogs.  Something quick and easy.  Saturday evenings will be pizza night at our house.  We start with simple frozen pizzas, and buy the toppings to doctor them up.  I tried making a whole pizza from scratch once, and it didn’t go well.  It’s easier to just buy a frozen cheese pizza, and add what we like.\n\nI am also planning our breakfast/lunch menus, but those items are the same every week.  There is enough variety that we won’t get bored, and again, I needed things on the list that are easy and quick to prepare.  We home school here, so I don’t have a lot of time to prepare extravagant breakfasts and lunches.  I want something good, healthy, and filling, and I think I have come up with those things in my menus.  All that to say, since they’re the same every week, I’ll just share our dinner menus with you.\n\nDon’t forget to comment if you would like the recipe for one of our meals!\n\nPosted by Kathryn at 6:00 PM", "Labels: Food, Menu Planning, Menus, Recipes", "Kelly said...\n\nWhat are cheese dreams?\n\nJanuary 24, 2012 at 4:34 PM", "Kathryn said...\n\nCheese dreams are hamburger buns cut in half, with cheese whiz spread on them (or grated cheddar cheese), topped with 1-2 small squares of bacon. They go under the broiler until the cheese is golden and bacon looks cooked. My mom made them for us as kids, and my kids love them too.", null ]

[ "Rules: He had to play at least a season or a snap at a significantly different position at the college level (so no ATHs), and BEFORE this position. Jake Ryan’s move from quasi-DE in a 4-3 under to the Mike in an 4-3 over counts; Matt Godin going from 5-tech to DT does not. Neither does moving between safety positions unless you’re a FS who became half-linebacker. Also no pro moves (sorry Cato June), or playing a second, non-primary position (sorry Charles Woodson) even if you won the Heisman (sorry, Tennessee fans, but he did).\n\nCutoff Point: Recruited Post-Bo, so I don’t have to remember positions from when I was ten (sorry Tripp Welborne).\n\nQuarterback: Devin Gardner", null, "“Wonky throwing motion” indeed. [Eric Upchurch]\n\nIn between the times he wore 7 and that awful Nebraska day, Michigan couldn’t resist getting one of their best athletes on the field. So despite no backup quarterback plan other than Russell Bellomy for oft-dinged Denard Robinson, in 2012 Mr. Gardner was shipped off to receiver. At first it looked to be a good idea: Gardner caught touchdown passes in his first three games (Bama, Air Force, and UMass). He wasn’t a great route runner but with Denard getting the ball every play the receivers got a lot of one-on-one matchups, and Gardner was a big dude. Then Nebraska occurred, and the following week the Devin at QB era could begin. The receiver experiment thus ended at 16 receptions, 266 yards, and 4 touchdowns.\n\nAs for quarterback, the end of that 2012 season was magnificent enough to portend great things, but the offensive line was never enough. Two virtuoso performances against Ohio State and Notre Dame as a redshirt junior, then a senior year of a lot of heart but a broken body and a coaching situation. If we do a “man I feel sorry for that guy” team he’ll be back.\n\nOther candidates: Nope.\n\n[Hit THE JUMP unless you’re an Iowa safety then you probably don’t want to know what’s next]\n\nRunning Back: Denard Robinson", null, "Did I NOT warn you, Iowa safety? [Upchurch]\n\nSo what if the other options are failed cornerbacks and slot bugs—Denard the running back did awful things to White Iowa Safety and was a half-sane gameplan away from upsetting Ohio State, averaging 9.6 yards per carry over those two games. Even without removing sacks, Denard as a ballcarrier averaged 6.2 YPC, with 42 career rushing touchdowns and nearly 4500 yards.\n\nOther candidates: B.J. Askew (FB), Ross Taylor-Douglas (CB), …not a lot of guys moving TO running back actually.\n\nFullback: Aaron Shea\n\nUntil 1999 Shea was officially listed at tight end. That’s probably cheating since he continued to be deployed as a U-back like on the play above. But hey, they made a big deal about his switch at the time. Plus it gets me out of having to choose between B.J. Askew and Chris Floyd.\n\nLooking over the history half of our fullbacks started as something else.\n\nOthers: B.J. Askew (RB), Chris Floyd (RB), Henry Poggi (DE), Obi Oluigbo (LB), Brian Thompson (TE), Bernie Legette (RB), Ray Jackson (RB), Khalid Hill (TE), Vince Helmuth (DE), Dave Armstrong (DE/OLB), Jared Wangler (WLB), Stephen Hopkins (RB), Ben Mason (MLB), probably lots more I can’t name off the top of my head, Will Paul (DE), Quinton Patilla (LB), yeah let’s stop here.\n\nTight End: Jay Riemersma (QB), Zach Gentry (QB), Bennie Joppru (TE)", null, "GL 5’11” defensive backs. [Fuller]\n\nOne of one type and one of the other for a position that, like fullback, draws plenty of position-switchers. Both the blocky-catchy Riemersma and catchy-blocky Gentry were athletic take snappy-throwies who ended up starring at tight end. Riemersma was a solid blocker and smart route-runner, serving as Todd Collins’s favorite safety blanket and breaking in Griese and Dreisbach. Gentry, the jewel of Harbaugh’s last-minute 2015 grabs, took his shot at QB, but even as a recruit the fallback option of a freak NFL-style flex tight end was pretty sweet.\n\nJoppru was always expected to play offense but he came in at linebacker then switched over during his redshirt year.\n\nOthers who contributed: Tim Massaqoui (WR), Andy Mignery (QB), Rob Vander Leest (DT/OG), Keith Heitzman (DE), Chris McLaurin (LB), Ricardo Miller (WR), Dave Spytek (DE), Eric Rosel (S/OLB), Steve Watson (DE), Henry Poggi (DE), Phil Brackins (S/WLB)\n\nWide Receiver: Devin Funchess, Diallo Johnson, Kelvin Grady", null, "Not 87. [Fuller]\n\nIt took until midway through Funchess’s sophomore year for Brady Hoke to give up on this guy ever becoming a 230-pound blocker, and thanks to statisticians who can’t change their rosters, Funchess gets to hold a bunch of tight end records for being Michigan’s top receiving tight end...as a receiver.\n\nDiallo Johnson is a weirder story because he and we held out hope for a long time that the former blue chip would force Lloyd Carr and co. to become a running quarterback operation. As Diallo’s junior year approached Michigan had both Tom Brady and Drew Henson over former starter Scott Dreisbach, which didn't leave room for experimentation. Diallo was a decent receiver, though Tai Streets, Markus Knight and the other ‘98 recruits overshadowed him.\n\nFans of Jermaine Gonzales (yes with an ‘s’) will be mad he got pushed aside for former POINT GUARD Kelvin Grady, but the basketball transfer played a pivotal role as a rotation slot receiver for Rich Rod. Also his catch against MSU was a first down and remains one of the most insane, game-changing bad calls in memory.\n\nOthers: Jermaine Gonzales (QB—we’ll always have the Transcontinental), Alijah Bradley (RB), Tyrone Butterfield (RB), James Rogers (CB)\n\nOffensive Line: Maurice Williams, Steve Hutchinson, Mason Cole, Dave Pearson, Damon Denson\n\nTook me 2 minutes to find a play where Hutchinson and Williams both made a good play\n\nI’m speeding this up now because you’ll remember most of these guys for OL jobs they did and that's it. Steve Hutchinson came in as a DE, moved to DT, and switched to OL late his freshman—if you don’t think he should count we’ll give that left guard spot to Adam Kraus, who played one year at tight end before making his inevitable move to guard. Maurice Williams and Damon Denson, both high recruits, also both began as defensive linemen (Denson got three starts at DT as a true freshman) but always projected as NFL OTs.\n\nDave Pearson wasn’t as much of a recruit but made the same transition later in his career and ended up a pretty good center. Mason Cole makes the list for his high-profile switch from left tackle to center and back to left tackle, as need dictated.\n\nHonorable Mention: Kurt Anderson (LB/DT), Dave Petruziello (DE), Chris Ziemann (DT), Adam Kraus (TE), Mike Kolodziej (TE), David Brandt (DT), John Ferrara (DE until like a week before he started #2008), James Hudson (DT), Will Campbell (DT). Jon Jansen was listed as a “Middle guard” on the 1994 roster but he was 6’8”/240 with a tight end number and I’m not buying that.", "Defensive Tackle: Jibreel Black, Shawn Lazarus", null, "Shawn Lazarus once weighed about as much as Shantee Orr\n\nThe surprise here was after I instituted my “RVB” rule I couldn’t find many DTs. There were a lot of OL types here who moved to DL because they couldn’t handle complicated blocking assignments: QWash, Slocum, Kerwin Waldroup, and Brion Smith were all touted, but didn’t contribute much.\n\nJibreel Black makes this list for having to play nose tackle despite coming in on the OLB->WDE career path of Brennan Beyer and Frank Clark. Black was never actually big enough to play DT but he did so gamely when the starters got hurt and Quinton Washington was on double super secret probation.\n\nShawn Lazarus is well named. In 1999 as a redshirt freshman he was a 6’3”/227-pound outside linebacker buried behind Victor Hobson, Grady Brooks, Roy Manning, et. al. Then he bulked up to DE, then SDE, and by his fifth year he was up near 300 pounds and taking the majority of nose snaps in a rotation with Grant Bowman and Norman Heuer.\n\nOf the guys who came in as edge rushers etc. and tried to bulk up to DT, only Lazarus made it, unless Lawrence Marshall adds to that list in 2018.\n\nHonorable Mention: Quinton Washington (OG), Will Campbell (OG-lol), Will Paul (TE/FB), Ron Johnson (WDE), Vince Helmuth (stuff), Paul Sarantos (LB), Lawrence Marshall (WDE)—plus lots of guys who committed at OL and moved to DL then vanished.\n\nDefensive End: Brandon Graham, Chase Winovich\n\nThis is the one position where there’s a temptation to count linebackers who moved down to DE (e.g. LaMarr Woodley), but we don’t need to because we’ve got two of the best DEs in Michigan history who played something else. Brandon Graham has to be on the list because it’s part of his story: he came in as a linebacker a la Woodley but by 2007 BG had ballooned into a defensive tackle, and seemed destined to end up wasted there. Then came Barwis, and then came the above; now he’s the Super Bowl MVP.\n\nChase Winovich took a strange route to end with a NFL decision. He came in as a SAM linebacker (his YMRMFSPA was Jake Ryan) but moved from there to tight end, tried fullback when Harbaugh came along, then moved back to defense as Taco’s instantly valuable understudy.\n\nHonorable mention: Glen Steele (TE), Larry Stevens (safety!), Craig Roh (LB), Reuben Jones (MLB), lots of former LBs who fizzled out here.\n\nLinebacker: Jake Ryan (4-3 under SAM), Ian Gold (RB), Prescott Burgess (S)", null, "This one was the toughest to choose from because what’s a linebacker, and how far can you shift in a role before you’re not one anymore? So I broke hybrid space player into its own position and chose three linebackers who had to play a job that was at least 75% linebacker.\n\nJake Ryan gets a spot because he went from quasi-DE to middle linebacker his senior year, which is a bigger shift even than Mason Cole’s LT->C shift a couple years ago. It wasn’t natural, and it took him away from what he did best. But it was also necessary as Michigan made the transition from a cov2/under defense to a press man unit that operates out of a 4-3 over, a process that began out of necessity when Ryan suffered an ACL tear prior to the 2013 season.\n\nIan Gold of course began as a running back for two seasons—and kept his very running back #20—before providing the archetype for Devin Bush Jr.\n\nPrescott Burgess was supposed to herald another archetype: the five-star hard-hitting high school safety who becomes a linebacker with a safety’s coverage skills. This worked out well enough for Burgess, or at least the linebacker parts did—he was never very good against running quarterbacks, which kinda defeated the purpose of bulking up a safety. You’ll see a bunch of honorable mentions below who spent a year at DB and failed to make a similar transition. You won't see Mouton because he moved to linebacker immediately. Eric Mayes, the injured captain of the '97 team, was an earlier example.\n\nHonorable Mention: Eric Mayes (S), Mark Moundros (FB), Brandin Hawthorne (S), Brandon Smith (S), Evan Coleman (FB), Isaiah Bell (S), Greg McThomas (FB), Steve Watson (TE)\n\nHybrid Space Player: Jabrill Peppers (Nk, CB)\n\nThe rule with HSP is I won’t consider SS->HSP a position change, even if it really is one today (Brad Hawkins and Jordan Glasgow swapped position coaches when they switched from Viper and Rover, respectively, this year).\n\nBut of course there’s no argument which guy we’re taking. With respect to Stevie Brown for turning himself into a respectable linebacker sort in 2009, Peppers lent his elite cornerback speed to this position for a season, and it took one game for opponents to learn not to try Michigan’s defense horizontally, unless it was to the weak side.\n\nHonorable Mention: Stevie Brown (FS), Cam Gordon (WR, FS), Brandon Harrison (CB/FS)\n\nSafety: Thomas Gordon (HSP), Chuck Winters (RB)", null, "How do you find a decent safety? Chisels perhaps? [Fuller]\n\n“Safety is a problem on these posts” is a theme, but I have no problem including “Prison Abs” (be glad we didn’t have had prospector names when Rich Rod was naming things) Thomas Gordon, a former high school quarterback who was one of three starters at the hybrid Spur position in 2010 before moving free safety in 2011. Say what you will about Brady Hoke but he turned a decade of free safety angst from its culminating Cam Gordon/Ray Vinopal moment to “Well, that’s over” just by moving one guy back.\n\nWe have to go all the way back before Safety Angst was a thing to find another: Chuck Winters, a competent safety from back in the day when those were still something Michigan fans believed we should have two of such every year. Winters, of course, began as a running back, as did a zillion other safeties Carr recruited. By his own admission, he wanted safety to be the best natural athlete on the field, and the best natural athlete on the field for most high schools was playing running back or quarterback until very late in Carr’s career.\n\nHonorable Sorry to Do This To You Mention: Troy Woolfolk (CB), Charles Drake (RB), Julius Curry (RB), Cam Gordon (WR), Jon Shaw (RB), Brian Cole (WR), Charles Stewart (CB), JT Turner (CB), Anton Campbell (RB), Tony Blankenship (QB), Corwin Brown (CB), a zillion more CBs I don’t need to mention\n\nCornerback: Ty Law (RB), Marlin Jackson (FS), Jeremy Clark (FS), Morgan Trent (WR)", null, "If you saw Ty with the ball in his hands you’d guess [still from SI video]\n\nI went with four guys because Dime defense is a thing, and all of my position-switching corners are different sorts.\n\nI was so mad back when Ty Law declared early for the NFL—I told you my ideas about players have evolved a lot since I was 14, okay? Back then it didn’t seem natural for a player to skip an entire season (his SENIOR season!) for something as fleeting as money, even when the Freep reported his family was in financial ruin. I held it against him that Michigan made him an All-American cornerback out of running back clay. I hope I get to apologize to him some day, because “oh you put me on some contrived list” probably won’t cut it. Also the freshman who replaced Law in 1995 (also a high school running back) was pretty good.\n\nYou know who did come back though: Marlin Jackson. This is a Devin Gardner-was-a-receiver pick admittedly but Marlin did return for his senior season after having to play safety as a junior, and he was an All-American a second time.\n\nThen there’s Jeremy Clark, lost at safety but with plenty of athleticism that could  be re-channeled into Richard Sherman-lite. That worked very well, but versus Penn State in 2016, just a few snaps after the point where he couldn’t take a medical redshirt, Clark was injured for the year. Before that he was the slight winner in a head-to-head battle for snaps with Channing Stribling.\n\nMorgan Trent was a wide receiver for a few years before moving over to his more natural cornerback spot when his coaches only filled it in two years with Johnny Sears and Chris Richards. Trent was decent in 2007 then a disinterested black hole in 2008 because he didn’t like the new staff.\n\nHonorable Mention: Troy Woolfolk (FS), Woody Hankins (RB), James Rogers (back from WR #everforget), Freddy Canteen, Darnell Hood (RB), Doug Dutch (WR), Teric Jones (RB), Dennis Norfleet (Slot/RB), Ross Douglas (RB), Drake Harris (WR), Nate Johnson (WR)\n\nI’m skipping special teams because this is long enough and what do you care if a punter kicked or whatever.\n\nJune 8th, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^\n\nI hope after this season we can say wow James Hudson is now the best position switch player we have ever had as he's an all B1G LT and we will get to see him there for 2 more years.\n\nJoined: 01/26/2016\n\nMGoPoints: 6741\n\nJune 20th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^\n\nHudson, Solomon, Winovich, Gary...can't wait\n\nJoined: 12/10/2011\n\nMGoPoints: 1305\n\nJune 8th, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^\n\nDenard wasn't even a candidate at QB?

I mean honestly, would our record have been any worse?

But he still learned more of the Defense (not to mention O and ST) than almost any player ever. Good call, including him\n\nJoined: 06/07/2018\n\nMGoPoints: 0\n\nJune 9th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^\n\nGreat read! Thanks for this. I didn’t remember Ian Gold nor Ty Law (just knock it down) as a RB.\n\nAs a TE enthusiast (no jokes please) I do appreciate how this position and FB or UB referred to in the Aaron Shea vid, can kind of transpose well with QB’s and particularly with DE with hand skills. Having played TE in HS, the DE position is the natural enemy - and playing both positions is a huge leg up. Releasing from the DE or whatever hole tech is there, is not easy to get into a pattern. It takes footwork arm strength ‘dipped shoulder’ and body control. Blocking and Hands is level 2. Route running is finess to excel. The TE is normally known as a big boy bad ass with athleticism. But there is skill and technique as well.\n\nthough as Dwight Clark can report - jumping ability for posting up is OK too!\n\nJoined: 11/16/2013\n\nMGoPoints: 8\n\nJune 9th, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^\n\nPeppers could have excelled at any position on the field. He probably could have passed it to himself. I really judged him for not playing in the bowl game but after what happened to Jake Butt, I totally get it. I mean I hope he was injured, but if he wasn’t I get it.\n\nJune 11th, 2018 at 8:53 AM ^\n\nI recall Tyrone Wheatley (Sr) lining up as a punter once. Most obvious fake ever.\n\nJoined: 10/20/2008\n\nMGoPoints: 361\n\nCookie Monster\n\nJune 12th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^\n\nNo David Baas?

From bench-sitter to HOF'er as a result of position switch (which is probably an over-simplification, but it makes good reading)...\n\nMack enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1962 and played college football for Michigan Wolverines football teams from 1963 to 1965.[4] As a sophomore in 1963, he played at the end position and spent most of the season on the bench.[4][5] After the 1963 season, Mack switched to the tackle position at the suggestion of Michigan coach Bump Elliott. Mack later referred to the position change as \"the big break of my life,\" an opportunity that \"turned my whole experience in terms of football around.\"[5]\n\nAs a junior, he started seven games at right tackle and won the Meyer Morton Award for the 1964 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled a 9-1 record, outscored opponents 235-83, and defeated Oregon State in the 1965 Rose Bowl.[6] As a senior, he started seven games at right tackle for the 1965 Michigan team,[7] and he was selected by the Associated Press as a first-team tackle on the 1964 All-Big Ten Conference football team.[8] Mack was inducted into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor in 2006.[9]" ]

Their love for romance literature and ancient cultures drives each and every word.\n\nThough one member of the writing duo will have sometimes a stronger voice on a particular project, both actively participate in the writing and editing of each and every novel or story that shares their name.\n\nWhen Mary and Don are not writing, they enjoy spending time outdoors and visiting their grandchildren.\n\nConnect with the Authors\n\nAmazon Author Page", null, "About the Book\n\nGiuliani is the most powerful mob boss in the City of Angels... or at least he was until he was found dead in his home.\n\nIn the wake, the mob boss's surprise death, the members of Giuliani’s empire scramble to seize control of the organization.\n\nTony has always been a loyal gangster, but when he finds himself caught in the middle of the mob's squabbles, he no longer cares what his fellow mobsters have to say.

She had to edge her way around the swirling bodies of the obviously intoxicated people enjoying their night. There were smiling, happy people all around her. She felt a pang of sadness as she watched the crowd. She wanted to be one of them. She wanted to be out at the bar enjoying this night – New Year’s Eve. She desperately wished that her coming year had a bright outlook, but she wasn’t so sure.\n\nThis past year had been especially rough. Things at home had been less than ideal with her boyfriend, Chris. Their relationship had started out like a fairytale, but that changed over the three years they had been together. She wasn’t sure if they had just grown apart or if their love had truly ended.\n\nWhen they met, Chris was charming and confident in himself. It was as if her life had been a romance novel. He wrote poems about her beauty and how much he loved her. He took her on dates that usually ended with them sitting by the lake and enjoying each other’s company and the setting sun. She remembered how handsome he looked in the orange glow as the sun started to disappear behind the skyline.\n\nThe night would usually end with them going back to his apartment, which was nothing special, but it was his home and she had always felt honored to be in such a private space. His walls were filled with posters of musicians he loved, though most of them were completely unknown to Melanie. He would sing her love songs while he played his guitar, making her stomach turn flips all the while.\n\nIt was easy for Melanie to fall in love with him. She was sure that any woman in her situation would do the same. His good looks were matched by his charming personality. He had a few black tattoos on his forearms and the rest of his body, not too many, but just enough to show his personality through art. His muscles rippled under his shirt and took her breath away when he bore his bare chest. His strong arms had always made her feel safe and comforted.\n\nBut without warning, things took a turn for the worst. Suddenly it was if his feelings for her changed while she slept. Gone were the days of music and laughter. Instead, there were arguments and cold shoulders. He stopped playing his guitar for her. He stopped reading her poems and passages from the books that lined his walls. The man that replaced him was a complete stranger." ]

Christopher Hubbard.\n\nRepresented by Belleville attorney Don Cary Collins, the Doe motion was filed on Aug. 22 nearly one month after the case was dismissed with prejudice by Circuit Judge Andrew Gleeson.\n\nDoe claims LW Systems, represented by Kevin Hoerner of Belleville and Paul Duffy of Chicago, violated Supreme Court rule 137 in part because the lawsuit “was interposed for improper purpose, such as to harass the numerous Internet Service Providers and hundreds of John Does assigned to certain IP addresses.”\n\nThe suit accused Hubbard and his alleged co-conspirators of hacking into LW Systems’ computer system – which hosts and delivers content to adult Web site operators.\n\nShortly after the suit was filed in January, Chief Judge John Baricevic signed an agreed discovery order that let LW Systems subpoena personal information associated with certain Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from 325 Internet service providers (ISPs).\n\nAs a result of Comcast receiving a subpoena (later deemed invalid because it was issued in Cook County), Doe claims it was necessary for him to file an appearance, motion to quash and motion to dismiss.\n\nDoe also argues in his motion for costs and sanctions that the plaintiff’s complaint was not well grounded in fact, not warranted by existing law and not a good-faith argument for the extension, modification or reversal of existing law.\n\nGleeson dismissed the case on July 23 after LW Systems and Hubbard asked the court to dismiss all claims with prejudice and for all parties to pay their own court costs and attorney fees.\n\nHe set a Sept. 3 hearing over Charter Communication’s motion for costs and protective order involving the issuance of the invalid Cook County subpoena.\n\nCharter claims it has incurred more than $5,000 in costs in response to the improperly issued subpoena that sought information from 136 of its customers.\n\nIn an earlier ruling, Gleeson ordered LW Systems to pay $17,625 to Comcast for expenses the company incurred in responding to the lawsuit." ]
