Coaching. It’s everything. Monty Williams is in complete, total control of every single thing that happens on the court. Did a player miss a shot? His fault. Did Chris Paul carve up our defense? His fault. Sadly, I left this game with a bitter feeling, and it had nothing to do with actually happened in the 48 on-court minutes. Instead, it had to do with the rampant scapegoating and despair that a portion of our fan base seemingly couldn’t avoid. It’s hard to win on the road. It’s hard to win at the Clippers’ home court. It’s hard to win on the second night of a back to back. It’s hard to win when calls aren’t going your way until the game has been decided. It’s hard to win when you are getting two of your best players back for their first game. It’s hard to win when you are playing the smartest and best point guard in the game today. It’s hard to win when your players are walking under shooters, giving up easy dunks, and allowing 36 free throws. I don’t know if Monty Williams is a great coach. I really and truly don’t. While I’m sitting on my couch eating Twizzlers and watching the game, Monty is out there coaching an NBA team. So if/when I critique something, I try to keep in mind that Monty Williams knows 10x more about basketball than I ever will- and this is just a guess, but I bet it applies to most of the fans as well. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t question decisions, or that you should just stare blankly at the screen and not try to analyze the game. He makes mistakes, and you might catch them.. and that’s fine. Voice them intelligently, discuss them, whatever.. but please, for the love of all that is good in this world, stop saying cliches about coaching without any sort of explanation. And tonight, I don’t think there’s much Monty could have done. Back to the Game Okay, so back to the actual game. The reasons that I listed above matter- the Pelicans were playing a superior team on the 2nd night of a back to back. They were playing a team that beat the Warriors by 11, the Rockets by 19, and the Thunder by 8. Circumstances were not in the Pelicans favor tonight. Tyreke Evans hit his first field goal with about 6 minutes to go in the game, Ryan Anderson’s shot was off, and not a single Pelicans player registered a positive +/- tonight. The Pelicans managed to collect a ridiculous amount of offensive rebounds, but there were 2 sequences that must’ve accounted for half of those. And in each situation, the Pelicans took 3 or 4 looks at the basket that were nowhere close to going in. The Pelicans also struggled to contain Chris Paul, which led to 10,000 many open dunks for Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, who feasted upon the rim all night. When the Pelicans tried to collapse the defense to stop this, Jared Dudley and other shooters started getting open looks. The refs certainly weren’t helping either, and though they made some calls at the end to make the gap seem less drastic, they weren’t too kind with the whistle when the outcome was actually somewhat opaque; as always, I’m not saying this is why the Pelicans lost, but I don’t think the officiating helped matters tonight. The good news, though, was that Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans returned from injury, and really, that’s what I take from tonight. Yeah, there are plenty of ugly things that happened in the game, and I’ll surely wince a few times when watching film tomorrow. But really, what is more important than getting the Pelicans’ franchise player back roughly a month before we were supposed to? Evans’ return is also a sight for sore eyes, as the Pelicans bench had lost some serious punch in the games he had missed. Davis looked rusty, but still managed to put up a gaudy stat line. He was seemingly everywhere, and he had no problems throwing his body around despite probably being a little tentative about his injury. Davis’s shorts mopped up every bit of the Staples Center floor tonight, whether it was falling on a dunk attempt, saving a loose ball, or doing that “I am in a bad situation with the ball and am going to pass to a teammate awkwardly while I fall the floor” thing. Be calm and press on. Davis and Evans returning to the lineup was great to see, and maybe the Pelicans can steal a game or two to close this road trip. Better times lie ahead, so be patient. There is no reason to panic.

Installing TortoiseSVN (Subversion) and VisualSVN for Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 – Press "Enter" to skip to content C# programming tips, tutorials, and techniques open menu mobile menu toggle button twitter linkedin github twitch Installing TortoiseSVN (Subversion) and VisualSVN for Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 After installing Visual Studio, I install “version control” software – also called “source control”. If you aren’t familiar with version control, it’s something that lets you save a version of the program you’re working on. You save these changes in a “repository”. After you save a version of your program, you can make more changes. If the changes are good, you save the new version. If the changes are bad, you can compare your current version with the last version – to find out where the problem might be. Or, you can “revert”, or “roll back” your changes to the last version. Version control is also very useful if you are working on a project with other programmers. If you become a professional programmer, you’ll almost always use a version control system. If you ever work for a company that doesn’t use version control, I’d be worried – that’s not a good sign. Video for installing TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN In this video, I show you how to install Subversion – a popular source control system. I’ll install TortoiseSVN, which includes the Subversion server (which lets you have repositories) and a client (which let you save your project to the repository). Then, I show you how to install VisualSVN. This lets you work with Subversion, while you are inside Visual Studio, working on your project. Link to video on YouTube Future videos on source control This video only shows the installation of TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN. There is almost nothing in the video on how you can use Subversion while programming. The next video I plan to make is how to install GitHub – an online source control system, for open-source projects (unless you want to pay, and have private repositories). I also plan to make a future video, or videos, on how to use more features of source control. These will cover using automated/unit tests, and using continuous integration to run your tests every time you save changes to your source control repository – letting you know if your changes broke anything. Links from this video Published in Software installation guides programming software development process tutorial version control video Previous Post To become a better programmer, you must first be a worse programmer Next Post Installing GitHub Desktop for Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 8 Comments Martin February 25, 2018 When I installed both, but 2017 version, because I’m using Visual Studio 2017, and import files, I right clicked on the Solution and there was no commit. Then I follow some steps (I’m not sure which exactly) and get account on Microsoft with my FirstProject in it, but all files has blue locks instead of yellow dots. When I played with it a little, I manage to get all yellow dots and also found Commit in right click menu, but when I use Commit, then I got errors -> Unnable to connect to a repository at URL and Unnable to open Repository on local disk (actually shows the path on local disk, which can’t be opened). I tried to uninstall and install VisualSVN again, but it changed nothing. Still have Commit option, but I can’t save Recent Message because of the errors and when I clicked on Team Explorer, this shows me offline. I don’t no what I did wrong and what to do next, I’m completely lost. Reply Scott Lilly February 25, 2018 If you see blue locks, then your solution is using Team Foundation Services (TFS) as the source control provider In Visual Studio, try selecting the menu option “Tools” -> “Options…” -> “Source Control” -> “Plug-in Selection”, and selecting “VisualSVN”. You might also need to “unbind” the solution from TFS. I haven’t had a project where I’ve needed to switch from TFS to SVN. So, let me know if that doesn’t work. Reply Martin February 26, 2018 Yeah, something about plug-in selection pop up when I started Visual Studio. When I chose No (for continue), then I goes offline, when I choose yes, then I got blue locks. Now, I’ve done what you wrote, there was “None” in the Current source control plug-in. I chose VisualSVN, but nothing changed. Still can’t save Commit for the reasons in previous post. Reply Scott Lilly February 26, 2018 Subversion is difficult to debug (especially if I’m not at the computer that is having the errors). But, here are a few ideas. 1. Try some of the solutions at: 2. Close Visual Studio. Open File Explorer. Go to the directory with your solution. View Hidden Items. Delete the “.svn” folder. Delete the folder with the existing repository. Open Visual Studio. Re-add the solution to SVN source control, but don’t use the “#” in the repository folder name. 3. Use TFS for the source control. It will work the same, and might be good to know if you ever get a programming job for a big company (they sometimes use TFS for their source control). Reply Martin February 27, 2018 I did everything in step 2, but now when I right click and choose Commit, there’s no Engine/filename.cs, I can’t even check the checkboxes. I tried to make some changes and then perform Commit, but no, it’s not working that way. Here’s image: Reply Scott Lilly February 27, 2018 In your screenshot, the files you are trying to commit are in “E:\CsharpRepository” (in the top bar). Your repository in the same location You don’t want to create your repository in the same directory as your source files (or in a sub-directory of your source files). It can be done, but it is more confusing to setup. Create your solution in “E:\Projects\MyProject” (for example). Then, create your repository in “E:\Repositories\MyProject”. To commit your project files, you right-click on the folder “E:\Projects\MyProject”, and commit the files from there. Here is what one of my projects looks like: Reply Martin February 28, 2018 I’ve got it and what more, I know exactly where I made mistakes. This last post opened my eyes, because when I did “add to subversion”, the first you must choose, where your project is and I chose folder with Repository (because I don’t read it, I rushed this) and then you must choose location where your Repository would be and then I chose folder with Repository again. I already had project and repository in different directory, but because of that mistake, I try commit project in the same directory as repository and obvious, it’s not going to work. Stupid mistake, but now it’s all working. I will learn from my mistakes and I must really read first and then do the actions. Thanks again for help and sorry for this. Reply Scott Lilly February 28, 2018 Great! Sometimes it helps to have a problem first. Then you gain a more complete idea of how something works.

There are perios during which, making forty Kalashnikovs doesn't frighten her. And by hand. Like that. Not necessarily because she's angry. She makes her weapons rather quickly considering the manufacturing time. Forty kalashnikovs in fifteen days. That seems reasonable.. they're in cardboard. ( ... ) Compulsion,Obsession in repetive work and the ensuing relief drive her to repeat the objects in an installation. Accumulating identical pieces (automatic pisols of the Browning 7,65mm type) which will be installed together relieves her. The installations are developed during the work process. The piece evolves and is nourished throughout its elaboration. What's more, each installation is related to the one to come.The material doesn't always create the work. But a place can incite a work using the material accumulated in the studio. The studio is a reservoir of material. To compose a work is also desire, reaction, history. A pleasant feeling in New York can inspire her to fabricate a Browning, then fifty, as many as the stars on the American flag. Little thought before the work, she thinks while working. At least if everything's alright. Ideas are needed to get past the dead ends. She says she has no imagination.

Salma Hayek’s most extensive nude scene of her illustriously depraved career from the film “Ask the Dust” has just been remastered and enhanced in the video below. Originally this scene was extremely dark and zoomed out, as it was security camera footage of Salma wading through the Rio Grande river at night to sneak across the US/Mexico border… However, thanks to our proprietary A.I. (Advanced Islamic) software we were able to upscale and bring this nude scene into focus like never before (although we still can’t tell how many kilos of cocaine Salma is trying to smuggle in her colon). Rest assured that we will continue to use this powerful new technology for our noble purposes… And fully reveal the blasphemous depravity of heathen Hollywood harlots like Salma, no matter how poorly lit and low quality their original nude scenes may be.

The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, has hinted that the Ministry is on the verge of un-bundling the Nigeria Postal Service into five new companies. Shittu, who spoke at the official launch of the Nigeria information and communications technology (ICT) roadmap in Lagos on Monday, said the five new companies, which will take effect by the end of the year and will be recruiting hundreds of Nigerians in each company. The companies are: NIPOST banking and insurance company; NIPOST property and development company; NIPOST transport and logistics services company; NIPOST E-government services company; and NIPOST E-commerce services company. The roadmap launch and sensitization workshop which was organised to reawaken the interest of the private sector, has been approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) and the implementation has commenced. He stated that the ICT sector Roadmap 2017 to 2020, will focus on the ICT industry and infrastructure development, governance, policy, legal and regulatory environment, capacity-building and cross-cutting issues such as information security and innovation. “The intention in developing the roadmap is to create broad, yet flexible pathways to ensure that ICT reaches all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria as well as to provide every Nigerian with access to ICT and improved quality of service delivery by government. “It will also promote public private partnerships (PPP) to attract investments in high quality infrastructural facilities and services.” Shittu added that, in the roadmap, the ministry plans to leverage business process outsourcing and other ICT sector opportunities to create two million jobs, establish a technological park and ICT exhibition centre, create ICT innovation hubs across the nation and reposition NIPOST to enable it provide cost effective 21st century services.

Some 165 years ago, virtually everyone on this planet believed that the world and all the living creatures would have never existed if not for the higher forces. Yet long before that, Greek philosophers had already presumed life forms could evolve. A revolution in human thinking took place in the mid-19th century, right after the publication of Charles Darwin's writing. In his worldwide known book, he told how life on Earth had emerged and why flora and fauna on our planet were so diverse. Nowadays, although two centuries have passed since then, scientists are still looking for the answers on the origins of terrestrial life, supplementing accumulated knowledge with new research data. Some of the oldest known traces of life - impressions of soft tissues of the planet's first multicellular organisms - are exhibited at the Mining Museum in St. Petersburg. These organisms had no skeletal structures, not even a shell or carapace. Their soft parts, therefore, are rarely preserved and hence hardly ever found in the rock. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Вендские многоклеточные. Архангельская область Traces of protozoans are showcased here, too. However, their structures, which are stromatolites formed by cyanobacteria colonies, are too small and can be observed only with a microscope. Because of the bacteria and their ability to photosynthesise, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere soared. © Форпост Северо-Запад / Горный музей. На снимке: Столбчатые колонии строматолитов. Бразилия Fossil remains of animals having a skeleton in some form are much better preserved. One of the first known groups of arthropods is trilobites. They had their upper body protected by armour, which fossilised over time. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Трилобиты Then the Devonian Period came, also known as the Age of Fishes, spanning 60 million years. Throughout that time, lots of fish species emerged - starting from small crossopterygians and ending with large-sized armoured fish. It was thought crossopterygians had been driven to extinction, but a population of theirs had survived, and in 1938 it was discovered in the Indian Ocean. The Mining Museum exhibits the shoal that after death sank to the bottom and was covered with sand. It kept the scales unaffected by water currents and well-preserved, with contours outlined in great detail. © Форпост Северо-Запад / Горный музей. На снимке: Плита с кистеперыми рыбами. Шотландия Another showpiece is a tooth that once belonged to Megalodon, an extinct shark species and the world's largest fish ever existed on Earth. Before it was officially described, the fish's teeth had been considered solidified tongues of snakes and dragons. It was only in the mid-17th century that a Danish natural scientist made an assumption that they belonged to an ancient animal. The planet's most giant marine predator is estimated to have been up to 16 metres in length and weighed over 35 tonnes. © Форпост Северо-Запад / Горный музей Tridacna, a giant bivalve mollusc, has survived to this day and inhabits waters of tropical regions. This organism may reach enormous proportions, all thanks to the warmth and abundance of food. Just as other clams do, tridacna can produce pearls, sometimes growing impressively huge. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Раковина гигантской тридакны. Индия There is a legend that Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher, placed an amulet onto which the faces of Buddha and Confucius were carved inside the pearl. Over time, the decoration item accumulated nacre, while Tzu's successors kept continuously moving it into larger shells. When the time had come to place the ornament into tridacna shell, a storm broke out, and the mollusc, with the pearl inside it, transported by ship was lost. It was retrieved in 1934 when found near Palawan Island and raised from the bottom of the South China Sea. One of the world's largest pearls was named 'the Pearl of Allah', or, alternatively, 'the Pearl of Lao Tzu', because it resembled the turbaned head of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The find measures 238 millimetres in diameter and weighs 1,280 carats. Its estimated price, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is $40 million. During the reign of dinosaurs, the most widespread marine aminals were ammonites. These molluscs varied in size greatly - ranging from several centimetres to two metres in diameter. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Аммонит. о.Сахалин Parapuzosia seppenradensis is one of the largest known ammonite species. It was discovered in Germany at the end of the 19th century, with the first preserved sample having a partly broken shell. Scientists assume that while alive its weight must have reached 1.5 tons, and had the specimen been fully intact its diameter would equal 2.55 metres. A century ago, one could buy ammonites in a pharmacy, as they were advertised as 'snake stones curing all kinds of diseases'. © Форпост Северо-Запад / Горный музей Ichthyosaurus is another creature living in the sea depths. This predator looked similar to dolphins and was a live-bearing animal. Mystriosaurus is a distant ancestor of now-existing crocodiles, which can be easily guessed seeing how much alike are their skull structures and habitus. © Форпост Северо-Запад / Горный музей. На снимке: Скелет мистриозавра. Германия Rhinoceroses, bison, mammoths, cave lions and bears are some of the animals that inhabited Eurasia during the last 800 000 years and became extinct with the start of the glacial epoch. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Большой пещерный медведь Cave bears lived during the most recent period of glaciation and were named so because their bones were mostly found in caves. There are few locations in Russia where remains of this species were found, with one of the largest being the Secrets Cave in the Urals. Over 30,000 fossilised bones were found there. Cave bears died out because the climate changed. As the forestal area diminished sharply, the animal species had no food to feed on. A skeleton of a wild bison, once inhabiting Belovezhskaya Pushcha, shows what indigenous wisents looked like; the animal was killed at the present-day territory of the forest in the early 19th century. Belovezhskaya Pushcha, also known as Białowieża Forest, is as of now not only a wildlife area with relict primaeval forests but a bison habitat too. © Форпост Северо-Запад / На снимке: Скелет дикого бизона (зубра). Беловежская пуща The Mining Museum's collection would not be that large if it were not for Ivan Yefremov, a Soviet palaeontologist. Yefremov is a graduate of Leningrad Mining Institute, science fiction author, and the founder of taphonomy, an entirely new branch of palaeontology. Many American researchers called Yefremov the father of modern palaeontology, who merged geological and palaeontological data into a single science.

We have worked on this trip To South Africa for a Safari for over a year. It had to be postpones twice due to Covid. Our travel agent was go2Africa who did a great job for us. Sio this May 2021 we were on our way. Our flight to Johannesburg SA took us through Amsterdam and on the way back through Paris. A very long plane ride. From Johannesburg we flew on Airlink airlines to a small airport in Hoedspruit where we were picked up by a driver who drove us to the first of two lodges we would be staying at. Both were Thorneybush lodges. The first was Saseka lodge near Kruger Game reserve where we stayed for 3 days. We then were transferred to Simbanbili lodge in the Sabi Sands Game reserve for 4 days, both are 5 star rated and they sure lived up to that. Every morning and evening we did a game drive as you can see by the photos. The rest of the time we spent eating. In both lodges we had our own either a tented room if that is what you would call it and in the other a chalet. Both had small swimming pools. Every night the staff would surprise us with special meals served in different places which was really cool. Our party of 6 had our own Ranger and tracker in our own vehicle and we ate at our own table. It was a great trip so enjoy my photos, but you had to be there to experience the whole adventure.

From the footlights : Canadian artists' celebrated inferiority complex vis-a-vis Americans is trite. Mordecai Richler in the 50's famously ditched Montreal to base himself in New York though his subject matter was invariably Canada's Jewish shtetls. And similarly was the case with Newfie David French who wrote Jitters in 1979. It's an ironic swipe at how Canadian actors as a group have assigned themselves the "right" to feel second-rate compared to those who play The Big Apple. A right that is wrong-headed, for sure. The schtick at play is a play-within-a-play being mounted in the 1970's by Canadian performers in Toronto (The Crabapple?) The troupe hopes-against-hope that big-time producer Bernie Feldman from The Great White Way who's coming to watch it will see its brilliance and give it a go -- on, off-, anywhere even remotely near Broadway. Cast and support crew go into near-panic mode during rehearsals for the play-within-a-play "The Care & Treatment of Roses" that's giving everyone Jitters. David Cooper photo Everything's on display here : the characters' egos (both tumescent and limp), their foibles, their neuroses, their fragility, their irrepressible lust for "just one shining moment" in the footlights despite their nerves. At Jitters' end, Act 3, there's a few riffs at drama critics -- our eccentricities are at least as colloquial as any actor's. This just before the show. Sort. Of. Stops. How it's all put together : Jitters. Not just for first-time teen-age lovers. Theatre folk at every level from grammar school to London's West End get them every moment of a production : from playwrights to actors to stage managers to props people. In Jitters we start by watching the gang backstage in Act 1 practice their talents and rehearse their self-regard, for better or worse. Act 2 is their attempt to put meat on the bones of the show "The Care and Treatment of Roses" [David French's tongue was never more firmly wedged in his cheek than in giving this "nested story" within the main play Jitters that large a yawner for a title : gotta be stereotypical Canadiana frump.] Finally there's the denouement of Act 3 when the show's over, the curtain's dropped, the local Star critic has had a go at what he thought he saw. What the show brings to the stage : Probably a check-up of community theatres cross-country would yield similar strereotypes. The local angst-ridden complainer Phil (James Fagan Tait) whose fergettery for lines is better than his remembery. Liquor helps that. The Equity actor puffed up on himself Patrick (Robert Moloney) who wouldn't dare risk a Broadway go, even if offered, for fear of failure. His alter-gender, alter-ego Jessica (Megan Leitch) who has made it as an Equity actor in a couple of Broadway shows but lately has seen the helium leak from her balloon. Much of the fun of Jitters is how she and Patrick hiss-&-spit back and forth like dames and archvillains in a Christmas panto. Playwright Robert Ross (Ryan Beil) has a neurotic melt-down when Broadway diva Jessica Logan (Megan Leitch) and actor Phil Mastakoris (James Fagan Tait) challenge his script. David Cooper photo As for the show's playwright Robert (Ryan Beil), it's all the frettery of mounting a second play three years after to follow his first that was a hit. But now everyone seems to want to edit his new utterances. Tut-tut and Pshaw! he snipes at them, thank you. Add to the mix an overwhelmed director George (Martin Happer) and the stage is set for some antic histrionics. N.B. The above are all sentiments outgoing ACT Managing Artistic Director Bill Millerd sympathizes with completely after his nearly 50 years working the Vancouver boards. In "Bill's Notes" he reveals these kinds of stagey tensions helped drive his decision to mount anew this old rose of a comedy. Like numerous others before, he calls French's play "a love letter to Canadian theatre". And such a sweet way for Bill to bid his Adieu! New Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran reveals her 2018-2019 season come Monday. Production values that shine through : Never mind the writing. Never mind the directing. Never mind the acting. The set by ACT's resident company expert Ted Roberts is one of the finest I've seen from him in the three+ decades I've marvelled at his deft eye and hand. Particularly the green room / dressing room that is the flip-side of the swivel'd Rose set. Absolutely remarkable in its roar of the greasepaint / smell of the crowd sense appeal. Clearly his interior & exterior designs were intended as a wee Hosannah! to the original Seymour Street stage where I first met up with ACT for its 1972 triumphant Jacques Brel run. Costumes by Mara Gottler were choice 70's go-go platform boots, bell bottoms and awkward checks, plaids, & brocade paisley's. Just one question. How / why were Patrick Flanagan's bell bottom plaid pants cut so short -- what we called "high water pants" back in the day. Some sort of irony I may have missed there, perhaps. But Flanagan's character had two of the best lines of the night, high-waters or no : "I've been a name here for twenty years. I can't even get a bank loan!" he snarks at one point. Later he embellishes on the same theme : "Where else can you be a top-notch actor all your life and still die broke and anonymous?" Acting pin-spots : Three performers stood out for me, and judging from the Huzzah!s at show's end I think for the audience as well. For all the world he seems a clone of EastVan's favourite son Alan Zinyk, and may be. James Fagan Tait as the 50-something preacher man and Broadway wannabe Phil Mastorakis gave his role a comic turn I could watch for another hour or two easily. Easily, save and except his Gus-the-Cat-dying sequence at the end. Aside : that closing blah-de-blah bit of non-sequitur dialogue betrayed a playwright waffling how to end all his previous -- and occasionally disjointed -- nonsense. Suggestion : prima donna star Jessica Logan quits Roses in a snit; big-shot producer Feldman shows up to see her and the show after all; Logan faints, opera diva style, from sheer mortification. To cheers from Patrick and Philip and the stage techs as she is being fanned and revived, Curtain! Back to the acting. Martin Happer's director George Ellsworth was just the right mix of pomp, cheerleader, and paramedic for the often wounded and touchy temperaments of ego-oddities that populate his troupe. An utterly genuine cut at the job and the persona. Perhaps best foil for Happer were through his riffs with Ryan Biel as playwright Robert Ross. Ever-covetous of his script -- aren't all writers -- critics included -- covetous snobs of their precious g.d. words? Fact is Biel's double-takes at anyone challenging his dialogue or stage direction were priceless. That is Biel's trademark comic tattoo : he does those deadpan nods-&-looks better than anyone else around. Who gonna like : For what it's worth, I have had some forgettable moments on stage. Twice in high school. None in college. Three or four times with the amateur White Rock Players Club (last time just shy of four decades back). I was also a senior high school drama coach in my teaching days back in the early 70's. Wow. This is all quite little to whoopee about. So. From what are admittedly limited live theatre experiences I nevertheless couldn't help but ache at the hilarity and hijinks of these David French characters. The parallels with names-I-could-name from the WRPC, particularly, were an instant trip down memory lane that made me roar with tears in my eyes. And yes. Fine casting by Director David Mackay. Good blocking, nuanced stage business, first-rate delivery by all cast thanks to them and him together. But had I not had the background I have had in theatre, limited though it has been, I don't think David French's theme of Canadian self-consciousness and humility vis-a-vis today's America -- theatre metaphor or some other -- would resonate the way it might have 40 years back. That slight hesitation aside, this is fun stuff, no question. A script probably 20 minutes too long still yields lots of physical comedy & ironic byplay & smackdown sets that make the time a giggle to be sure.

Experiential candle-making business Wick and Pour is moving to Manhattan after the concept took off in Far Rockaway. Jess Wu and Steve Kanemori opened their first Wick and Pour at 88-08 Rockaway Beach Blvd. last December and invited guests to experience the art of candle making while enjoying a drink and snack. Guests get to choose which scent, color and vessel they want to use and then make their own 11 oz candle guided by a Wick and Pour expert. The space included a selfie station for photos and food and drinks to enjoy throughout the process. Ava Kim, principal broker at AKRE NYC, said the venture was such a success, the founders decided to relocate to Manhattan to provide a more central location for clients. AVA KIM “Many of their current customers have to travel up to three hours by subway, ferry and car,” said Kim. “Their new Manhattan location will provide a more central location for Wick & Pour.” Kim represented the tenant in brokering the new lease of 55 s/f at 167 Mott Street in Chinatown. KSR represented the landlord in the deal. Asking rent was $6000 per month.

I am an artist blacksmith with a workshop situated in the historical market town of Otley in West Yorkshire, a perfect setting to return to the ancient roots of traditional metal working where I make beautiful, bespoke items only by hand and fire. At the age of 14 I got my first taste for working metal after making two wrought iron lamps for my mum in school. I then studied engineering in college when I was 16. In 1995 I became a qualified welder fabricator and have traveled around the UK and Europe with my profession. Over the last decade I have turned to my passion of traditional metal working and begun teaching to other enthusiasts and novices in my workshop which is surrounded by stunning views of true Yorkshire countryside. For the past three years I’ve been displaying and talking about my work at the Otley Show and have been a Resident blacksmith for Thwaites Waterways Festival 2015.

UBM plc today announces it has acquired a 70% equity share in EFEM, one of Turkey's leading tradeshow organisers from its private owners and has formed a joint venture company with EFEM to be called UBM ICC. UBM ICC will develop EFEM's existing baby products shows and will further expand UBM's global portfolio of baby product exhibitions. Following this transaction, UBM will run a total of eight events in Turkey in 2013, three of which will be new geo-adapted launch events. UBM has consistently invested in the development of its event portfolio in fast-growing markets and geographies. In 2011 UBM generated 40% of its events revenues in emerging markets. Working with in-country joint venture partners to bring together local market knowledge and experience with UBM's international capabilities and resources, UBM has built a track record of successfully accelerating the development of existing local events. UBM has also successfully launched new versions of existing UBM tradeshows adapted to meet local market needs and the need of international visitors and exhibitors, a process known as geo-adaptation. UBM's acquisition of a 70% stake in EFEM and the establishment of the UBM ICC joint venture extends a long-standing relationship between EFEM and UBM Asia which began with reciprocal sales and marketing arrangements for their respective baby-child-maternity tradeshows. EFEM organises the International Istanbul Mothers, Babies, Children Products Fair (MBCP) (see and Wintexpo Autumn Winter Baby Child Fashion Fair (Wintexpo), the leading baby shows in Turkey. Launched in1992 in Istanbul, MBCP is now the third largest baby products show in Europe, with the 2012 edition occupying 30,000 square metres of exhibition space at CNR Expo. EFEM's owners, Erdal Baykara and Hüseyin Irmak, and EFEM's eight staff will remain with the business. EFEM generated revenues of approximately £1m in 2011. As at 2 September 2012, the business's gross assets were less than £0.1m. The acquisition is expected to exceed UBM's cost of capital criterion in its first full year of ownership. The EFEM shows have clear synergies with UBM's annual Shanghai International Children-Baby-Maternity Industry Expo (CBME) (see Asia's largest baby products show which this year attracted over 1,200 international exhibitors and more than 53,000 visitors, occupying over 115,000 square metres of exhibition space, representing 44% growth over 2011. UBM will launch geo-adaptations of CBME in Brazil and India in 2013. Working in a separate joint venture established in 2010 with Turkish partner Rotaforte, UBM also now runs two Istanbul Jewelry Shows a year in March and October, (see These shows have successfully extended UBM's Asia-centred jewellery tradeshow portfolio - which comprises more than a dozen shows across China, India, Singapore and Japan and includes the world's largest tradeshow, the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair - to Turkey. In 2013 UBM will launch a further three geo-adapted events in Turkey: FI Istanbul (the latest geo-adaptation in the Food Ingredients portfolio, see Black Hat Istanbul (a geo-adaptation of IT security events, see and IFSEC Istanbul (a further geo-adaptation of the IFSEC brand . David Levin, Chief Executive Officer of UBM plc said: "With seven UBM events running in 2013, three of which are new geo-adaptions of UBM shows which are already successful in other countries, Turkey is an exciting market for UBM and for our joint venture partners. We continue to see great opportunities in countries like Turkey, Brazil, India, China and across the AEAN countries for us to leverage our global infrastructure and event portfolio to support the development of national and global trade in the fast-growing markets we have chosen to operate in."

The Site Plan Review Section coordinates the review and approval process for all site construction documents submitted to Cobb County for a LDP. All LDPs are issued by the Site Plan Review Section under the issuing authority of the Community Development Agency. There are three types of land disturbance permits: Clearing Only: allows for trees to be cut and removed. Tree stumps may not be extracted, nor is any other type of soil disturbance permitted. Grading Only: allows for tree removal as well as site grading. Full erosion and sediment control methods must be implemented, and no infrastructure may be installed.

Spaces and punctuation are included: "Pass word" is NOT identical to "password". For questions, please contact the Site Plan Review Section at (770) 528-2147. Plat Review Cobb County requires that the subdivision of land into two or more parcels or lots shall be platted in accordance with the Georgia Plat Act and electronically filed with the Cobb County Clerk of Superior Court. The Site Plan Review (SPR) section coordinates the plat review and approval for e-filing for commercial and residential projects. The applicant e-files the signed, approved plat. The process: One paper copy of the plat, a plat review application, and associated fees are submitted to SPR to initiate the review process. The plat is distributed to applicable County departments for comments. SPR compiles the departmental comments are provides them to the surveyor for revisions. The surveyor will email a pdf of the revised plat to each department for re-review. Once each department has verified that all comments have been addresses, the surveyor takes the paper plat to Cobb County Water System (CCWS) for signature (if required, a signature from the Environmental Health Division is obtained first). The signed paper plat is provided to SPR, which will then obtain all other required signatures. Once all signatures are obtained, SPR scans and emails a pdf of the signed plat to the surveyor. The surveyor e-files the plat with Cobb County Clerk of Superior Court for recording. The surveyor must email a pdf of the recorded plat to SPR before any building permits can be issued. Building Permit Review The Site Plan Review Section reviews individual single family lot plans, building additions, swimming pools, retaining walls, decks, and accessory structures. These plans are compared to the civil engineer plans and final plat for the subdivision to ensure compliance with the Tree Ordinance, State water buffer guidelines, Stormwater Management guidelines, and other Cobb County regulations. In addition, staff verifies that the proposed project does not encroach into or conflict with any overhead or underground utility line or easement. Cobb County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Cobb strictly regulates development in or near the 100 year Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Compliance with SFHA restrictions is confirmed via the use of the FEMA elevation certificate. During permit reviews, SPR staff verifies that the proposed building project meets or exceeds minimum floor elevations as shown on the subdivision final plat. A condition is then placed on the permit which requires that an elevation certificate be provided to SPR staff before a framing inspection can occur. County Tree Ordinance The Site Plan Review Section administers the County's Tree Ordinance. A County Arborist and Landscape Architect review projects for compliance with this ordinance and other environmentally related regulations. These regulations may include the following: Storm drainage Erosion Sedimentation control Wetlands Threatened endangered species State or county required stream buffers Zoning required landscape buffers Enforcement of the Tree Ordinance typically involves several steps: Preliminary consultations with design professionals and developers Plan review and site visit(s) During the Site Plan Review Process Once the permit has been issued, staff monitors the project while it is under construction to ensure compliance with the approved Tree Protection and Replacement Plan. Post-construction inspection of tree plantings and/or tree save areas to ensure that the ordinance requirements have been satisfied. Certificate of Occupancy issued For commercial projects, maintenance inspections are performed approximately 18-30 months after final inspections are completed to ensure all trees are alive and healthy.

Over the past 3 years, Rowan and his team have worked with me to clarify my vision for The Rising Man and develop photos, videos, and even websites that articulate that vision to my community. Working with the Wayfinders team has been, in a word, effortless. They remove all of the task-y, tedious parts of building an online business/presence off of my plate so I can get to what I do best: creating, communicating, and inspiring. I refuse to work with anyone else, because Wayfinders Media consistently exceeds my expectations and runs the extra mile that I didn’t even know existed.

Benelli will begin its second innings in India in partnership with the Mahavir Group, with three products – Benelli TNT 300, 302R and the 600i. That said, according to the latest developments, the company will introduce the Benelli TNT 302S soon in India that will replace the existing TNT 300 naked streetfighter. The Benelli TNT 302S features a redesigned fuel tank and extensions, revised seat and a new exhaust system. The company showcased the 2018 Benelli TNT 302S at the EICMA 2017, alongside the Benelli Imperiale 400, to replace the TNT 300 in global markets. The motorcycle uses the same frame and engine as the Benelli TNT 300 but receives cosmetic updates and new features. The TNT 302S features a new fuel tank design with redesigned shrouds, full-LED headlight, new single-piece seat and a revised number plate holder. The Benelli TNT 302S receives an all-digital instrument cluster in place of the semi-digital unit on the TNT 300. The bike also gets a new side-mounted two-into-one exhaust system as against the underbelly unit on the Benelli TNT 300. That said, the front fender, suspension setup, alloy wheels and tires are carried forward. Powering the Benelli TNT 302S is a 300 cc, parallel-twin, four-valve engine with liquid cooling. The fuel-injected motor is capable of producing 38.26 bhp of maximum power at 11,500 rpm and 26.5 Nm of peak torque at 9,750 rpm. The engine pairs to a six-speed transmission. Braking power is assisted by 260 mm twin petal disc brakes at the front with 4-piston radial callipers, while the rear gets a 240 mm single disc with a single-piston floating calliper; dual-channel ABS is standard. The Benelli TNT 302S tips the scales at 206 kg kerb, while it gets a fuel tank capacity of 16 litres. Suspension hardware consists of 41 mm upside-down forks up front with 120 mm wheel travel and an adjustable hydraulic mono-shock at the back with 45 mm wheel travel. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with 110/70 R17 front and 150/60 R17 rear tubeless tires with an ‘H’ speed rating. The Benelli TNT 302S features an all-digital instrument cluster and LED headlights. Also Read: Benelli TRK 502 & Benelli TRK 502X to launch in India by early 2019 While Benelli hasn’t revealed the specific timeline for the launch of TNT 302S, it is expected to come soon in India. An earlier report suggested that the company will introduce the Leoncino 500 scrambler as the first product from the Benelli-Mahavir Group JV. We can expect the bike to launch by early 2019 with a price tag of circa INR 3.60 lakh (ex-showroom), considering the Benelli TNT 300 ABS retails at INR 3.43 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

Sponsored content created and provided by Deb O’Connor, Research and Technical Services, Purina Animal Nutrition Trucks running in and out of the farm, tractors packing, and a smell we love: It’s silage harvest season. As we enter this time, it’s important to ensure proper silage management to reduce the impact of mold and mycotoxin contamination in your rations. Mold growth and the production of mycotoxins are typically associated with extremes in weather conditions leading to plant stress or hydration of feedstuffs, poor storage practices, feedstuff quality, and feeding conditions.1 Molds versus Mycotoxins Molds are fungi that occur commonly in feedstuffs, including roughages or concentrates. They are present throughout the environment and can occur at various stages throughout the field and storage. Field mold spores enter the plant through roots, through silks during pollination, or because of plant damage from insects or environmental injury such as wind or hail. Other fungi grow more preferentially when feedstuffs are in storage. There are more than 1.5 million species of mold worldwide. However, only about 100,000 have been identified, and only a few of these are toxigenic molds, which may produce harmful toxic substances called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites, produced by molds causing a disease called a mycotoxicosis in cattle. When exposed, cattle can experience liver or kidney toxicity as well as central nervous system and reproductive effects. The economic impacts of mycotoxin contamination due to crop loss, livestock productivity, and regulatory programs are estimated to cost U.S. agriculture $1.4 billion on average.2 There are three types of molds that commonly produce mycotoxins: Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Each of the mycotoxins produced can have detrimental impacts to your cattle. See Table 1. Mitigating the risk Good management practices are the first step to help mitigate the severity of issues associated with moldy feed and mycotoxin problems. These may include: Selecting seed varieties resistant to fungal diseases or insect damage such as Bt hybrids. Implementing crop rotation strategies. Adding a fungicide application to promote plant health and disease resistance. Cleaning out bins, silos and storage facilities to help eliminate sources of mold inoculation. Regularly checking stored feeds for signs of heating or molding and using preservatives such as organic acids as necessary. Use quality bacterial inoculants and silage management to ensure optimal fermentation. If you are seeing changes in performance or health that cannot be explained by other causes, work with your nutritionist to sample your feeds to test for molds or mycotoxins. The presence of mold does not always confirm a mycotoxin problem. Similarly, the absence of mold does not eliminate mycotoxins from contributing to losses in performance or health. When experiencing mycotoxin challenges, nutrition management may also help reduce the impact. This may include: Diluting affected feedstuffs with clean feeds to reduce the impact. Increase dietary protein, energy, minerals such as Cu, Mn, Zn, Se, and vitamins A, E, and B1 to offset losses associated with challenges to gut health. Adsorbents, dietary yeast, and direct-fed microbials may support rumen health and dry matter intake during a mycotoxin challenge.

Hello there! I just got back from an EPIC road trip in my home state of Arizona with my best friends and I think you should consider traveling with your friends or family members as well. Here are 9 reasons why: Sunrise in Monument Valley 1. Amazing Photos: Taking a selfie throughout your entire trip really doesn't express how fun it probably was. Besides Instagram worthy photos need more hands. Get your group members to work and capture amazing moments! 2. Companionship: There's nothing worse than traveling without anyone to talk to during the flight, at an amazing sightseeing tour or an evening dinner. However, with a group of friends, you can have all of this without the hassle. 3. Cost Effective: Want twice the fun, twice the savings? Then group traveling is your best bet because everyone will share the cost! Therefore, traveling as a group will help you have fun within a budget. You can also budget and plan ahead 12 – 18 months in advance. Many hotels, resorts and airline companies offer amazing packages for group travelers. Thus, you end up saving even more than you expected. In addition, you may be eligible for additional discounts and bonuses depending on the number of guests are in your party. 4. It's Safer: Yes, that’s right! It is definitely safer in numbers. When traveling to another country or just an area that you are not familiar with, you are more vulnerable. Now I don't mean you should be shaking in your boots, but think about it… traveling as a group translates to more people. So you don't have to worry about mundane things like taking a walk late at night. 5. Lifelong Travel Besties: Going on memorable tours and facing adventures can bring families and friends closer than you think. Shared interest tends to bond, and bring people closer. Thus, you get to meet some amazing people and maybe even some travel buddies along the way. 6. Loads Of Fun: The fact that you're traveling with a lot of personalities instantly translates to more fun. Bask in eachother's element and have a good time. You will not get bored, as there will always be someone ready to go and adventure with you! Lower Antelope Canyon Tour 7. Take The Stress Out of Travel: You can share the stress and have a more simplified experience. For instance, you may not speak the local language or not be familiar with the customs, however someone in your group may be a polyglot! 8. Takes You Out Of Your Comfort Zone: Journeying with a group takes you out of your comfort zone, because you may end up trying out new things that you normally would not consider. Now I don't encourage peer pressure, but I can say that I’m glad that I had that little push to enjoy even more memorable experiences. Forest Gump Point, Utah 9. Travel Advisor: A travel advisor can score you a good deal on group rates! They can sometimes also set the group up on a payment schedule, and plan an itinerary based on your groups interest.

Paul Duffy, Professor Donald Denoon, Steve Winduo, Michael Mel, Anna Solomon, Hal Wooten QC, Trevor Shearston, Ted Wolfers, Donald Denoon Draft Programme Speaker Information Registration form Venue & Accommodation Information From the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s, Papua New Guinea underwent a frenetic rush to decolonise. During that 20 year blizzard of activity, the administration attempted to transfer the institutions and technologies of civil society to the colony and an emerging PNG élite struggled to bend that process to form a distinctively PNG nation. What lessons can we draw from this simultaneous attempt to both actualize and assimilate? Questions of empowerment and appropriation remain with us; indeed their relevance seems to increase daily. A quarter of a century after PNG's Independence, people from "then and now" will gather together at this conference in order to evaluate what was probably the shortest and most intense period of decolonisation in the twentieth century. Writers, teachers, academics, journalists, aid workers, historians, political scientists, and administrators will be among those assessing decolonisation in Papua New Guinea. From the experiences of those who were there, we will explore these questions: Did you have a coherent vision of culture and nation? What did you want? What did you want to avoid? Which models, examples, and influences were you exposed to and which did you choose? Were you making a new way, or trying to learn an old way? Who did you see as allies? Who were antagonists? Which institutions were helpful, and which got in the way? What was it like to suddenly own the institutions? What opportunities arose? What problems? What sustains you from that time? In what ways have you moved on? These issues will be particularly addressed from the perspective of these areas: writing and journalism broadcasting and publishing the visual and performing arts the development and functioning of cultural institutions the technologies of culture the relations between politics and culture To the reflections of the protagonists of decolonisation, a new generation of writers, teachers, academics, journalists, aid workers, historians, political scientists, administrators and others will add their insights.

For many women, the election of American President Donald Trump was the motivation they needed to get involved in politics. Take these five Canadians, who traveled to the US to march at the Women's March on Washington. Hundreds of thousands of people marched peacefully through the streets of Washington on Saturday morning, hoping to send a message to American President Donald Trump that, as many a protest sign proclaimed, women’s rights are human rights. Though it’s impossible to give an exact number of attendees, organizers estimate the turnout exceeded half a million people—which is why it's being billed as one of the biggest political demonstrations in American history. And the huge crowds weren’t just made up of Americans. Protestors hailed from all over the world, including Canada. In fact, a delegation of more than 600 Canadian women left multiple cities to head towards Washington, hoping to show their solidarity and support equality, diversity and inclusiveness. (Sister marches took place in 50 states throughout America, and in 61 countries total, including Canada.) For many of these women, the Women’s March on Washington was their first political demonstration. Their stories are as diverse as their ages and cultures, but they all hold the same conviction about the importance of speaking up. Ayana Potts, 18 Montreal, QC Getting on the bus from Montreal to head to Washington was nerve-wracking for Ayana Potts, a dual Canadian-American citizen, but she was also excited for what was to come. “I’m ready to get started and meet people, and have a day full of love,” Potts said. “Because we need it.” Attending a political demonstration for the first time alongside her mother Miranda, a longtime activist, Potts is excited to be part of this movement. “To be here for something that will for sure make history after a day that itself made history,” Potts said. “It’s the best way to get into the activist lifestyle.” She heard about the Women’s March on Washington through her mother and social media and decided it was something important for her to attend. Though this was her first protest, Potts has been interested in activism since she was a child. For her, it’s of vital importance that women have a political voice. “I think it’s super important we have a say because now there is someone who is having a say for us,” she says. “We need more women in politics… if this is a way to start doing that and let people know that we need a say, then this is the way it’s going to be done—in a peaceful manner.” But it’s also about supporting other women, and getting support herself. “I think this is a really great way… to just let these emotions that have been built up over the last year out,” Potts said. “I think it’s a great support group and it’s necessary for future generations.” Ujyara Farooq, 22 Mississauga, ON Silence is a choice according to Ujyara Farooq, a fourth year sociology major at the University of Toronto. So when a friend asked her to participate in the Women's March on Washington, she couldn’t pass up the chance to show her support. "I believe this is a great opportunity to show that as visible Muslims, as people who wear the headscarf, we can participate in something that is kind of a commitment to other women," Farooq said. It was important for Farooq to show solidarity with American women, not only as a Muslim woman, but as a Canadian. "I think that's really important coming from Canada," Farooq said. "We're here to stand with you, if somebody is hurting you, they're hurting us and we're going to stand with you." The Women's March on Washington is about understanding the specific issues that different genders, nationalities, and ethnicities face on a day-to-day basis, and why it's important for these people to have a voice when it comes to making policies, Farooq said. She points to policies and laws that are made by governments, but don’t represent the real issues that women face. "The clearest example being the fact that tampons and pads are considered luxury items," Farooq said. "That sends a clear message that there was no female in the room when that decision was being made. That's why we need everybody at the table to talk about what hurts them.” And she thinks it’s especially important to make sure that table is as inclusive as possible. "Not only women, but women of colour, Muslim women, we really, really, really need their voices right now, in rooms where policies are being made." Sadaf Jamal, 38 Scarborough, Ontario Whoever you are, stand proud, says Sadaf Jamal. Representing Muslim women at the Women's March on Washington, Jamal felt it was important to show her support for diversity among women. "We stand together, we stick together, and there's nothing wrong with being different," Jamal said. Jamal was invited to join the march by one of its main organizers and was excited about the opportunity to support a cause she felt strongly about. "We're coming from Canada all the way to Washington to show you our support," Jamal said. "Stand strong, you belong, you are here to stay." Coming from a minority group Jamal felt there was a lot of meaning in this peaceful demonstration and wants other Muslims to feel proud of who they are. "Educate others about yourself," Jamal said. "Do not go into hiding and do not feel marginalized, we have your back." Alexandra Lapko, 62 Edmonton, Alberta The distance and cost could not keep Alexandra Lapko from marching in Washington. She and her good friend Bev Edwards-Sawatsky (whose story is below) knew they had to be part of the women-led movement, and flew from Edmonton to Toronto to join the Canadian delegation headed for Washington. "We decided it was worthwhile for us to be here," Lapko said. "To join in with all the other women who are mobilized to march." For Lapko, what most stood out in the days following the presidential election last November was the feeling that good could come out of something seemingly negative. Whether it’s distrust or fear, Lapko says it’s important to, "let go of those pieces and work with the energy that is in this room and around the world so we can make a difference." Travelling for more than 10 hours by bus from Toronto, Lapko was excited by the diversity of ages present. "There's women older than us travelling on their own," she said. "And there's a lot of young women as well, and I feel so honoured that they're connected with this situation of our world, that they would take the time to do this." That’s because, for Lapko, speaking up is about more than herself. "We're speaking for this generation and our daughters and our future generations, so it's important we have a voice so we can project our rights and our ability to have equal pay and equal work and be treated with respect." Bev Edwards-Sawatsky, 70 Oyama, British Colombia For her 70th birthday, Bev Edwards-Sawatsky decided she wanted to march in Washington. So she left her home in Oyama, B.C., meeting up with her friend Alexandra Lapko (whose story is above) in Edmonton, then flying to Toronto, where the pair boarded one of the buses heading south to Washington. Armed with her walker and her belief that there is so much more that can be done to improve equity, specifically for diverse groups, she was ready to join the hundreds of other Canadian women who were traveling to Washington to show their solidarity. “To do this kind of march is a first time for me,” she says. But “it just felt critical. I could be in the last quarter of my life, who knows. But [I want] to ensure that progress has been made and [we’re] moving forward.” Despite the negative rhetoric that came out during the election, Edward-Sawatsky wanted to keep a positive outlook. "This is how I wanted to mark my 70th birthday—being part of a group of people willing to stand up and stand out to be there together. I wanted to be part of the many that said, ‘There is another perspective that we need to speak about,'" she says. She has always feeling like her political voice was important because of the strong female influence in her family, which is why knew she did not have to remain silent now and could make a change. "I've had three generations of women speaking up and speaking out. I was lucky that I grew up believing I could do what I wanted to do, what I set my mind to, and I would like all people to feel that way,” she says

(Nanowerk News) Stem cells are a valuable resource for medical and biological research, but are difficult to study due to ethical and societal barriers. However, genetically manipulated cells from adults may provide a path to study stem cells that avoid any ethical concerns. A new video-protocol in JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments), details steps to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from cells in the peripheral blood. The technique has been developed by Boston University's Dr. Gustavo Mostoslavsky and his colleagues. Stem cells are unique because they can self-renew, differentiate into multiple cell types (pluripotency), and are immortal. Fertilized eggs produce embryonic stem cells with the potential to differentiate into any other cell type. Despite their value, embryonic stem cells pose a variety of ethical, legal and political implications that cause scientists to look for less controversial paths of study. "As opposed to human embryonic stem cells that originate in fertilized eggs, human induced pluripotent stem cells can be generated from any cell, and there are no ethical barriers to this," Dr. Mostoslavsky explains. "Our article describes a methodology to obtain high quality, induced pluripotent stem cell lines," Dr. Mostoslavsky continues. His work is particularly interesting to the stem cell research community because "blood is an easily accessible sample for most laboratories. Our procedure uses a vector we created and produced a few years ago, and is very efficient. Our colleagues are very interested in that high efficiency. We published in JoVE because there are some technical details in the protocol that are best conveyed with a video-protocol. " Dr. Mostoslavsky uses induced pluripotent stem cells to model genetic lung diseases, providing a fast track to study rare diseases in the laboratory. This technique will prove a valuable time and cost saving resource for other scientists interested in genetic disorders. The video-protocol was published in JoVE on October 31, 2012. JoVE Senior Science Editor Dr. Nandita Singh tells us, "We are excited to describe the generating of human iPSC using a lentiviral vector the Yamanaka factors. This vector was developed in Dr. Mostoslavsky's lab. The ease of obtaining the tissue sample combined with the high efficiency of reprogramming makes this method a very valuable tool in the field. The JoVE format will help the scientific community to accurately replicate this methodology.

NAVY WOMEN'S TENNIS: Noelle Kaufmann was part of two winning matches, but the George Washington women's tennis team was too strong overall, handing the Midshipmen their first loss of the season by a 6-1 margin yesterday. The loss was Navy's (11-1) first of the season and snapped the Midshipmen's program-record 11-match winning streak. The loss overshadowed a strong performance by freshman Kaufmann. The Navy rookie teamed with Erin Snook to record Navy's lone doubles win, coming at the No. 2 slot with an 8-7 (3) win over the Colonials' Isabella Escobar and Leah Pascarella. ] Kauffman then won Navy's lone singles match with a 6-3, 6-2 victory Zoe Krohn at the No. 6 singles slot. Kaufmann improved to 6-0 in dual-meet play with the victory and 11-5 overall. ] NAVY MEN'S GYMNASTICS: The Navy gymnastics team fell short in its bid to remain unbeaten in dual meets this season as William & Mary defeated the Midshipmen, 326.1-319.6, on Sunday afternoon in Williamsburg, Va. Senior Andrew Faulk won the all-around title as his score of 84.7 was his second-highest total of the season. ] "It wasn't a great day for us," said Navy head coach Dr. Sho Fukushima. "We have to come back now from this point. We've been upgrading our routines and our training in practice and I hope we can now straighten that out." ] The Tribe posted higher scores than Navy in every event but the vault on Sunday, where the Mids registered a 55.8. ] In winning the all-around title for the fourth consecutive week, Faulk posted the highest scores of the meet in the pommel horse (14.2), rings (14.3), vault (14.4), parallel bars (14.1) and high bar (13.7). His scores of 14.1 on the parallel bars and 14.3 on the rings both tied season highs. ] "Andrew had a lower all-around score than last week, but he was right there," said Fukushima. "He had a solid performance." ] Austin Zalik had the second-highest finish for a Midshipman on Sunday as he finished just 0.1 behind Faulk on the rings with a 14.2 to take second place. ] NAVY BASEBALL: The Navy baseball team dropped a pair of games at home on Sunday as the Midshipmen fell to Central Connecticut State, 3-2, and then Towson, 9-2. The Mids, now 5-5, were never able to get on track at the plate as they managed a total of four runs off a combined 13 hits. ] "It's something that we are going to have to work through. We're going to have to get better at-bats," said Navy head coach Paul Kostacopoulos. "Whether you get a hit or not, the ability to put together consistently good at-bats is critical to success." ] In game one, Central Connecticut State's Cody Brown tossed eight complete innings and gave up just four hits to help lead the Blue Devils past Navy. Brown struck out eight batters, didn't issue a walk and never let the Mids' offense gain momentum. ] Navy starting pitcher Johnny Schoberl retired the first seven hitters he faced and then got help from some solid defense with two inning-ending double plays. After getting out of the third inning with a 1-6-3 double play, Navy used another twin killing in the fourth. With one out and runners on the corners, second baseman Dylan Wheeler made a diving play to his right on a ball hit by Dylan DeLaCruz. Wheeler knocked down the ball and flipped it to shortstop David Wiedeman to start the inning-ending 4-6-3 double play. ] "Certainly a positive from the first game was Johnny Schoberl's start," said Kostacopoulos about Schoberl, who was making his second start of the year after offseason surgery. "His start today was much better and he had a much higher comfort level than in his first outing." ] The Blue Devils eventually pushed across a run in top of the fifth inning after the first two hitters reached base. J.P. Sportman, who led off the inning with a single, worked his way to third where he later scored on a wild pitch. ] Brown limited Navy to just one hit through five complete innings and it looked like he might get through the sixth without giving up another hit, until Brandon Beans belted a two-out, solo homer over the wall in right field to tie the game at one. ] But the game didn't remain tied for long as the Blue Devils (1-3) responded in the top of the seventh inning with two runs. Mike Washburn had an RBI double down the right field line and Mike Renzoni made it 3-1 with an RBI groundout. ] The Mids scratched to within one run by scoring on a wild pitch in the bottom of the eighth, but couldn't manage to tie the game as they left a runner on third base to end the final two innings. ] Josh Ingram allowed a double to Greg Dupell in the bottom of the ninth inning, but got a strikeout to end the game for his first save of the year. ] Schoberl had five strikeouts in his six and one-third innings of action, and allowed three runs off seven hits as he took the loss to fall to 1-1 on the year. ] In game two, Towson scored solo runs in the first and second innings and then doubled its lead with RBI singles by Andrew Parker and Brendan Butler in the top of the third, ending Navy starting pitcher Zach Sipe's day after just two and one-third innings. ] Parker (2-for-3) and Butler (2-for-4) both finished the game with three RBIs. ] The Tigers (4-5) took advantage of two walks and a hit batter to load the bases in the top of the fourth inning and tacked on three more runs with the help of a two-RBI single from Butler. ] "In the second game, we walked a lot of guys and Towson is going to score runs," said Kostacopoulos. "To their credit, they never let us back in the game and did a good job of just stretching out the lead." ] Towson starting pitcher Chris Acker allowed six hits, including an RBI single by Brandon Beans in the bottom of the third frame, as he pitched five complete innings. ] Trailing 7-1, Navy had its best chance to get back into the game when Nikolai Simonsen and Kash Manzelli hit consecutive singles to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning. Nick Cioffi then replaced Acker on the mound and retired the next two hitters before an error kept the inning alive and loaded the bases. But Cioffi was able to get David Wiedeman to ground out in the next at-bat to end the inning. ] The Tigers scored twice more in the top of the eighth inning off an RBI triple by Ben Winter and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Brandon Gonnella. ] A fielder's choice RBI by Dupell in the bottom of the ninth made the final score 9-2. ] Sipe took the loss to fall to 1-1, while Acker recorded his first win of the season. ] Navy will look to bounce back when it hosts Maryland on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ] ] NAVY WRESTLING: Anchored by the efforts of 2012 NCAA qualifiers Aaron Kalil (Salem, N.H.) and Oscar Huntley (Stafford, Va.), along with four additional placewinners, the Navy wrestling team finished fifth out of 14 teams at the 108th EIWA Championship held at Jadwin Gym on the campus of Princeton University this weekend. Both Kalil and Huntley qualified in their respective weight classes following Saturday's action, as Kalil (133 pounds) will be making his third appearance at the championship and Huntley (174 pounds) will make his debut. ] In one of the most exciting team finishes in recent memory, the team title went down to the final match of the tournament, a heavyweight bout between top-seeded Ryan Flores of American and second-seeded Zachery Rey of Lehigh. Flores pulled out the match with a takedown in sudden victory, giving Cornell a slim 2.5-point team victory over Lehigh. ] ] VIRGINIA MEN'S LACROSSE: Top-ranked Virginia scored 10 second-half goals and went on to defeat No. 3 Syracuse, 14-10, in front of 5,855 fans Sunday, March 4 at Klöckner Stadium. The Orange (2-1) held a 6-4 halftime lead, but the Cavaliers (5-0) outscored SU, 10-4, after intermission to hand the Orange its first loss of the year. ] ] Sophomore attackman Derek Maltz (Ashburn, Va.) recorded a career-high five points on three goals and two assists to lead the Syracuse offense. Maltz factored in all four of the team's second-half goals, scoring three and assisting on one by redshirt senior Tim Desko (Syracuse, N.Y.) in the fourth quarter. Desko added four points in the contest, including tying Maltz for team-high scoring honors with three goals. ] ] For Virginia, starting midfielders Colin Briggs, Rob Emery and Mark White combined for seven goals and eight total points. Briggs led the Cavaliers with three goals and one assist. Emery and White contributed two goals apiece. ] ] The Cavaliers opened up an early 2-0 advantage on goals by Matt White and Ryan Tucker less than a minute apart. Senior Bobby Eilers (Simsbury, Conn.) responded for Syracuse, notching his first of the year at the 6:19 mark, to make it 2-1 heading into the second quarter. ] ] The Virginia lead could have been more if not for the play of SU starting goalie Matthew Lerman (Villanova, Pa.), who made four of his career-high nine saves in the opening quarter. Lerman's stop on 2011 Tewaaraton Award winner Steele Stanwick in transition late in the first period helped keep it a one-goal game. ] ] After a Briggs goal pushed the Virginia lead to 3-1 in the first minute of the second quarter, the Orange scored five unanswered goals, including four in the span of 3:08, to charge in front, 6-3. Desko scored twice in the run, including a between-the-legs finish with his back to the goal, to ignite the scoring spree. ] ] Briggs finally snapped the Virginia scoring drought, finishing a Stanwick pass with 48 seconds left in the half, to trim the Orange lead to 6-4 at the break. ] ] Briggs' late tally gave the Cavaliers a spark. Virginia stormed out of the locker room and scored the first four goals of the second half to reclaim an 8-6 advantage. ] ] Maltz's first goal of the game stopped the Virginia run and closed the gap to 8-7 with 3:19 left in the third quarter. However, the Cavaliers kept the pressure on as Mark Cockerton and Chris LaPierre scored 22 seconds apart to extend the Virginia lead to three, 10-7. ] ] The Orange pulled within two three times over the final 17 minutes, but could not get any closer. ] ] Overall, 11 of Virginia's 14 goals were scored by midfielders as the Syracuse close defense held UVA's high-powered attack to just two goals - one by Bocklet and one by Stanwick. ] ] Faceoffs and ground balls keyed Virginia's rally. The Cavaliers doubled up the Orange in ground balls (42-21) for the game and UVA faceoff specialist Ryan Benincasa won 20-of-28 faceoffs, including an 11-for-16 performance in the second half. ] ] Lerman played the first three quarters in the cage for Syracuse before being relieved by sophomore Dominic Lamolinara (Arnold, Md.). Virginia goalie Rob Fortunato went the distance and made 16 saves to earn the win. ] UMBC SOFTBALL: The UMBC softball team (5-7) split its final two games of the 2012 UMBC Retriever Classic, shutting out Niagara, 1-0, and falling in extra innings, 10-4, to Iona. In four games over the weekend, the Retrievers picked up three wins, while only falling once. ] LOYOLA MEN'S BASKETBALL: Erik Etherly scored 15 of his game-high 21 points in the second half, as Loyola University Maryland pulled away from Siena College for a 70-60 victory in the Metro Atlantic Athletic ConferenceSemifinals on Sunday evening at the MassMutual Center. ] ] With the win, the second-seeded Greyhounds (23-8) advanced to Monday night's MAAC Championship Game where they will face No. 4 seed Fairfield University (19-13), an 85-75 winner Sunday over top seed Iona College in the other semifinal. The game will be played at 7 o'clock and air on ESPN2. ] ] Loyola will make its second appearance in the MAAC Championship Game since joining the league in 1989-1990. The Greyhounds last appeared in the title match in 1994 when they defeated Manhattan, 80-75, toadvance to their only NCAA Tournament. ] ] MARYLAND SOFTBALL: The Maryland softball team fell to Massachusetts, 4-1, Sunday in its final game in the Easton Alabama Invite in Tuscaloosa, Ala. ] HOPKINS BASEBALL: The #22 Johns Hopkins baseball team battled back from a 2-0 deficit going into the eighth inning to come back to a 5-4 victory over Rutgers-Newark for its first win of the 2012 season. The Blue Jays move to 1-1-1 on the season while the Scarlet Raiders fall to 2-4. ] MARYLAND WOMEN'S LACROSSE: The No. 3 Maryland women's lacrosse team held Hofstra scoreless in the second half en route to an 11-4 win Sunday afternoon. ] ] The Terps (5-1, 1-1 ACC) were led in scoring by Katie Schwarzmann who racked up a hat trick for the second consecutive game. Karri Ellen Johnson and Alex Aust tacked on two goals each. Melissa Diepold led the defense with a game-high four groundballs. ] UMBC BASEBALL: The UMBC baseball team (1-6) scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, then held off a furious rally to defeat Army, 10-8, Sunday afternoon at the Baseball Factory Field to give head coachBob Mumma his first win as the head man. ] Mumma, who was an assistant at his alma mater for the past 15 season, was named the head coach last June, replacing his mentor John Jancuska. ] NAVY MEN'S TENNIS: Old Dominion won four of the five singles matches contested on the day to post a 4-3 victory over the Navy men's tennis team Sunday at the Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center in Norfolk, Va. ] Three of Navy's five losses this season have come by the score of 4-3, with an additional loss for the Mids coming to No. 17 North Carolina. ] SALISBURY BASEBALL: The No. 6 Salisbury University baseball team scored seven times with two out in the top of the seventh to defeat Wesley College, 9-3, and salvage a split in a doubleheader to open Capital Athletic Conference play at Bob Reed Field on Sunday. ] MARYLAND BASEBALL: Brett Harman pitched seven strong innings, Maryland's offense churned out 14 hits, and the Terrapins completed a four-game sweep of Manhattan with a 9-0 victory Sunday afternoon. ] ] Maryland (9-1) outscored Manhattan 26-4 in the series and controlled the finale, with Harman in command throughout. The senior struck out five and allowed just three hits in seven innings. ] ] It was the fourth dominant performance by a Maryland starting pitcher in as many games - the starting rotation of Brady Kirkpatrick, David Carroll, Sander Beck and Harman allowed just two earned runs in 27 innings of work on the weekend. The team's ERA dipped to 0.95. ] SHEPHERD WOMEN'S LACROSSE: Freshman attack Georgia Karr had six goals and two assists, while junior midfielder Krista Tippett added five goals to lead Shepherd University to a 19-14 win over Tiffin University in women's lacrosse action at Tiffin on Sunday. ] CINCINNATI WOMEN'S LACROSSE: Junior attack Marissa Pierson netted a career-high four goals and led the University of Cincinnati lacrosse team (3-2) to a 13-8 victory against Liberty on Sunday afternoon in the first meeting between the two teams at Liberty Lacrosse Field. ] NAVY WOMEN'S TRACK: The Navy women's indoor track and field team (21-1) concluded its participation in the 2012 ECAC Indoor Championship at the with a second ECAC All-East performance.

The O’Fallon Hoots (22-26) returned home on Monday evening for the first time in nine days. After the long road trip, the home crowd enjoyed Christmas in July night at the ballpark. With Santa Hats, Holiday Trivia, and REX Baseball on the menu, the Hoots looked to build on a comeback victory over the Quincy Gems on Sunday. The Hoots turned the ball over to Alfred Ulloa (East Central), who was making his seventh start of the season. Ulloa’s first inning was just three pitches to record the three outs. He also sent down the REX Baseball hitters in order in the second. REX recorded a big third inning, capped off with a David Miller (University of St. Francis) two-run home run to dead center. REX scored six runs in the frame and tacked on one more in the fourth. The Hoots didn’t go down quietly, though. In the sixth, Cade Hohl (Purdue) drilled a double into right-center with the bases loaded, scoring Jack Dunn (Mineral Area) and Zak Hartleb (University of Illinois). Jake McCutcheon (Missouri State) also scored on a wild pitch in the frame. Carson Subbert (Lindenwood) completed three perfect innings in relief of Alfred Ulloa. Subbert struck out four batters and threw 30 pitches with just four balls. Subbert’s Lindenwood teammate Ambrose Russo clubbed a solo home run in the seventh inning over the big CarShield Field wall. When all was said and done, REX led on the scoreboard by a score of 8-4. The Hoots next home game will be this upcoming Thursday against the Cape Catfish with the game starting at 6:35 at CarShield Field. Tickets are available at and at the CarShield Field box office.

Two years have passed since Arash shot his arrow to the border with Tooran. His best friend Dastan often thinks about how he could also achieve something noteworthy and remarkable. Something that would be his and his alone. Once, if ever, he achieves that goal, a secret about his origins will inevitably be brought out into the open. A secret that could change his destiny and the fate of a kingdom. In the sequel to Arash the Archer, Dastan is reluctantly pulled into a web of conspiracy, conjured up by a powerful, clever, and patient adversary who plans to take over the throne of the Kingdom of Scythia.

We just made some organic coriander pesto and tossed it in our own tricolor pasta (coming soon, by the way) and it was just scrumptious! We then made a batch and decided to try it as a dip and a sandwich spread as well. Needless to say, lunch plans at the SproutOG kitchen became all about the pesto, made with fresh coriander and garlic, walnuts from Kashmir, our fruity extra virgin olive oil and our cheese monk’s aged parmesan. Simply irresistible! Ingredients: Coriander, extra virgin olive oil, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, mountain garlic, Himalayan pink salt.

Here at Rhubarb we like to make friends. sometimes friends turn into partners. One of Rhubarb’s partners this year is [color]Hub 14[/color], an artist-run dance studio and performance venue. We asked one of Hub 14’s Artistic Directors, [color]Meagan O’Shea[/color], to tell us a little about what it’s like running a space that is dedicated to creative development. Hub 14 is a space for creation, it’s also an idea, and hopefully a community. Over the eight years it’s existed we’ve produced performances but more often we’ve offered ways to develop art and art making practice. We’ve run series that seek to illuminate the creative process and artistic motivation (Pick 7), and training classes (Public Works) and Residency program. Currently we offer Incubator, for when you just have an idea, Leg-Up for when you have a gig confirmed but don’t have all the needed resources, Live-In, which is typically for national or international artists, with the option of living at hub 14 for two weeks! In order to stimulate activity and exchange in the community we offer a Community Chest program for artists to propose to facilitate or curate an activity. We also partner with other organizations – Rhubarb and Series 8:08 currently. These partnerships underline our belief in the development of artists and the evolution of contemporary work. We founded hub 14 in December 2004, and became an incorporated not-for-profit in 2009. We are an artist run centre and are now looking to expand our leadership. I think we forget what a benefit having space is. In some ways I hope we take it for granted. When I’m in other cities and want to book some space, I am often shocked by how prohibitive it can be. I think accessible space has a lot to do with where we choose to live. For creating artists it’s in the same category as cost of living and paying rent when making decisions about where to live. I am happy that we can add some accessibility to the equation.

I have heard this expression countless times and it is first now that I am beginning to understand what it means. In this post I'll tell you a little bit how this understanding came for me through the events that unfolded the past month on the peacewalk. It all began with me and Ebba feeling a change of hearts. The weather in Hungary was getting cooler, Autumn made its presence and we decided to leave the safe but slow track along the Donau to head straight toward Belgrade. On our way we had the most beautiful encounters with hosts from the hungarian pilgrim association and a very special meeting with a dear priest Arpad who had us as guests in his hometown near the Serbian border. Entering Serbia we noticed great differences already at the border. Because of the migration of refugees coming to Hungary (EU) from Serbia (not EU), Hungary has built a barbed wire fence all along the border. Passing the fence and passport control, as a swedish citizen you become aware of what a privilege it is to be able to walk freely like this, and how it's not for granted for everyone. I personally feel this free roaming between borders should not be a privilege but a mandatory right as citizens of the world, but it seems we have some more steps to take as a species before we can include every ethnicity and nationality in our sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. Walnuts for the road ahead Arriving to Belgrade on a rainy day, me and Ebba were so grateful to finally have some days of rest, and to also have her parents coming down from Sweden to be with us. We had a beautiful time together and during this week, me and Ebba founded the organisation that will become our platform for our work the coming years, the Ways2Peace. Traditional swedish card game "plump" This is the peace quest flyer we hand out on our way, can you guess what it says? We also got to give away the dear peacewagon that's been with the peacewalk for nearly 2000km and it will now become a walking library in one of the suburbs to Belgrade in a visionary project for new ways of teaching and learning. During this week it also became clear that Ebba is going to take off for her own journey for awhile and her first stop was Germany, before she headed to the Zen Buddhist monastery Plum Village in France. Here she is now staying for a silent retreat to dive deep into the inner stillness of the heart. Thus we parted ways temporarily with much love (and tears) on the sacred Mt Kosmaj, which used to be a site of worship of the Romans to the Earth goddess Maia/Gaia. It felt strange to walk by myself again and after meditating and praying for support of the mountain, I went down in the valley below with my intention set on crossing the rest of Serbia. Suddenly, I step on a branch which ruptures the side of my foot and some dirt gets into the wound. I clean it best I can and walk to the next town. Even though it's a pretty big town, there are no hostels to be found, so I head to the church. The priest is very kind but tells me he cannot help me to find accomodation for the night, which surprises me. I keep looking and realize my foot is starting to hurt more. Finally I find a hostel far outside town so I ask the priest again after the sermon if any of his priest colleagues might host me but again no. I walk towards the setting sun and end up in a hostel, hoping that the foot will be good tomorrow. Unfortunately (or fortunately as we shall see), it still hurts when I wake up. I realize it's more than 20km to the next town, and I feel a deep need for resting, but the hostel is having some construction work so resting here does not seem feasible. I take my walking sticks and make the long arduous hike to the next town. During this day I feel unusually lonely and lost. Something deep inside tells me it shouldn't be like this, it wasn't supposed to be like this, somehow, walking with a wounded by myself without companions and sleeping in shabby hostels. This way I won't arrive to my destination in every step, which is peace ~ walk to (2) peace. Let's take 4000km of steps back to the beginning. The year is 2016 and I'm preparing for a long walk, from Sweden to Syria. However, a few days before this walk is about to begin, I have a deeply mystical experience and which makes me realize that I'm not supposed to walk straight to Syria, I'm going to walk around the world to peace. And peace all around the world will be my destination. That was the start. And now after 4000km of walking, I understood that I didn't have to take the walking part so literal anymore. I always knew that I would have to take boats on many occasions and I had already planned for the Transibirian train next year to enter Asia. And here I was on the Serbian countryside with a wounded foot, all by myself in a weather that was growing more and more unsuitable for long distance walking. I also knew that in Greece, a sacred vase from Tibet was waiting for me (it's a whole other story in itself, for the next letter) After feeling a sense of relief and joy, and gratefulness of this time of "only walking", I felt a deep shift in myself and in the Walk2Peace as well, and I jumped on a train to Greece. Immediately things started to unfold in a smooth way again - I was meeting the right people at the right time with the right intentions. For me, this experience was a deep lesson to not to get stuck in my ideas about how I should do things, but to follow the guidance that mother nature and the little thorny branch provided to me. To follow the most honest and well meaning way that I can be of service to this planet and all beings here - for me this is to follow my heart. And now this journey, the journey to peace has taken me to Greece, Athens and the island of Aegina. Istanbul is still part of the route, and I hope you wish to join us on the New Years celebration, which you can read more about here. With much love and wishes of peace Albin Your support is most welcome by donation, either monthly to our patreon or directly via PayPal Donate.

Members of the Washington bailliage gathered on April 5, 2016, to celebrate spring at 2941 in Falls Church, Virginia, in the “Waterfall Room,” looking out onto three beautifully landscaped waterfalls that provided a background for the evening. Chef Bertrand Chemel’s menu was spectacular, blending fresh seasonal and regional ingredients with bright presentations and a mix of textures. Chef Chemel masterfully integrated classic and modern culinary techniques as well as modern versions of traditional dishes to produce a masterpiece of menu design, technique, and execution. In addition to extensive use of spring ingredients, Chef Chemel’s combinations of colors, flavors, and textures in his dishes and presentations was outstanding, both within individual courses and across the menu as a whole. As guests arrived for a welcoming glass of champagne, Chef Chemel presented four appetizers as a hint of what was to come—a tuna tartar served in a delicate sesame tuile cone, an angelic corn “cupcake” topped with whipped goat cheese, a beef short-rib “pastrami” slider on a brioche bun, and an asparagus roll of pencil-thin asparagus with mint, basil, lemon, and bocconcini in an Asian wrapper—Chef Chemel’s variation on a Vietnamese spring roll. The first course was a wild striped bass crudo, served with a garnish of shaved radish, pea shoots, and a black bean hummus with its color deepened by the addition of a touch of squid ink. This was served with a Bodega Ulacia Blanco (2013), Getarako Txakolina, Spain, which added a crisp, mineral flavor that enhanced the flavor of the striped bass. Second course was an egg cassoulette—a poached egg on a bed of rosemary and spinach cream, asparagus, fiddlehead ferns, and morels. The dish had a rich, “woodsy” aroma and flavor from the fiddleheads and morels. Pairing wines with asparagus is difficult, but the accompanying wine, a Pradio Friuli Grave Friulano Giulia (2008), Italy, worked well—a full body, and enough fruit to play against and complement the strong flavors of the asparagus, fiddleheads, and morels. After the richness of the second course, the third course, a steamed black sea bass served with heirloom potatoes, a spring onion fondue, lobster sauce, and a lemon thyme garnish, was a fragrant and light counterpoint. Chef Chemel added pattypan squash as another springtime touch. A Sauvignon, Cantina Terlan Quartz, Terlano, Italy (2010), matched the dish well and was another lighter touch. The fourth course—a lamb navarin with fennel ravioli and ramps, was complex and masterful, bringing together the evening’s themes. Traditionally a dish prepared with winter vegetables, Chef Chemel transformed it into a spring dish by serving it with a lighter sauce, garnished with baby carrots and charred ramps. The fennel ravioli were a great counterpoint, with a fennel fondue filling that had a complex and subtle flavor. Chef Chemel used two different preparations for the lamb, slowly braising the lower shoulder, which also formed the basis for the sauce, while curing, rolling, and thinly slicing the lightly cooked top shoulder to garnish the rich brown flavors of the navarin. The navarin was paired with a Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, Two Hands The Bull and the Bear, (2003) Barossa Valley, Australia, which had the full flavor of a cabernet with a lighter body that matched the lighter body of Chef Chemel’s spring navarin. Dessert, designed by pastry chef Caitlin Dysart, was a strawberry vacherin with coconut ice cream and strawberry sorbet, topped with a chiffonade of Thai basil, garnished with small dots of meringue. This beautiful and flavorful dessert was served with a 2015 Giacomo Bologna Braida Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG, Piedmont, Italy, that was slightly “pettillant” and fruity with strawberry undertones. This unusual wine was a surprising pairing that worked well to complement the strawberry flavors in the vacherin. Chef Chemel’s menu was a real celebration of spring ingredients and a masterful combination of modern and classical dishes and techniques. Chef Dysart contributed not only to the dessert course but to complex preparations (like the sesame tuiles and the corn cupcakes) for the appetizers and throughout the meal. The menu, which included items with a multi-day preparation schedule, also showed dedication of time and resources by Chef Chemel and his entire team for the preparation for this dinner. Attendees at this intimate dinner included confreres from as far away as Calgary, Canada.

‘Free’ charity helplines will have to own up to their charges on calls to 084/087 numbers (from 1 July) 17/2/2015 3 Comments This news release has been distributed to selected media organisations and relevant parties. helplines.pdf File Size: 860 kb File Type: pdf Download File We have long been drawing attention to the “rip off” of callers by inappropriate use of 084/087 telephone numbers in many areas. Some of these have been addressed, albeit with remaining breaches by businesses, public bodies and NHS providers. We are aware that many helplines have significant funding issues, but we cannot accept the idea that funding be provided by service users, unless this is clearly declared. It is however unlikely that it would be deemed acceptable to declare a charge for most, if not all, of the 55 services we have listed (there are more!). We are therefore surprised that so many cases remain where declaration of the telephone Service Charge is now imminent. After some consideration, we feel that this matter must now be brought to public attention, so that efforts in pursuit of an acceptable solution may be maximised. We will continue to attack delinquent businesses, public bodies and NHS providers for their “rip off”, but we can no longer exclude third sector helplines. We are reluctant to draw too much attention to specific examples; however a quick read through the list will doubtless cause the eyebrows to be raised on finding certain cases. 3 Comments 'UK Calling' PR exercise steps up a gear 9/2/2015 2 Comments As 1 July gets closer, Ofcom will be increasing the publicity for the two major changes that will come into effect on that day.

Temperatures are higher during spring - usually above 0C during the day. Rain can be encountered sometimes. Avalanches do occur, particularly on higher wind-loaded slopes. Some huts may be available for self-catering groups, but groups should always be self sufficient and equipped for snow camping. Kozcuisko National Park, New South Wales Kozcuisko National Park includes the highest peaks in Australia that are also referred to as the Main Range. Serious avalanches occur in this region and there are numerous large cornices along high ridges. Very strong winds are common - a high quality four season snow tent is essential and care should be taken to select a sheltered campsite. Much of the high ground is very exposed. Popular access points for backcountry skiing include: Catching the lift up from Thredbo ski resort Charlottes Pass (road is only open in Spring) Guthega Dead Horse Gap Popular skiing locations include: Mount Kozcuisko (2,228m Australia's highest mountain) Mount Townsend (2,209m) Mount Twynam (2,196m) and Watsons Crags Carruthers Peak and Mount Lee Little Austria and Lady Northcotes Canyon Bogong High Plains, Victoria The Bogong High Plains has rolling terrain with some high peaks including Mount Nelse (1882m) and Mount Nelse North.

Computer Assisted Language Learning ePortfolio: Using Mahara & Learning Management Systems (LMS) to showcase students' work more Sun, Jul 10, 15:40-16:05 Asia/Tokyo In its simplest form, a student portfolio is understood as a collection of resources, including demonstrations, resources, and accomplishments that can represent a student's individual, group, or institutional work. It can illustrate different types of achievement, progress, goals, and future endeavors. While physical portfolios have been around for quite some time, the advancement of portfolios has been increasing in popularity due to their digital presence, especially with the current online climate. As ePortfolios are gaining momentum as a preferred way to demonstrate students' learning and competencies online, it is crucial for educators and institutions to increasingly understand their advantages. This workshop will address a background of the e-portfolio landscape in relation to a physical portfolio.

Perhaps you’ve seen the ads, including the large one sprawled across Hotel Pennsylvania on 7th Avenue, but in case you haven’t: Starz’s hit drama “Power” is back. I recently screened the first four episodes of season four ahead of the show’s New York press junket. I have to admit, I was hooked from the jump. The storylines are compelling, the acting is fantastic and you can jump in at season four and feel caught up (although I plan to get back to those first three seasons at some point). On assignment for my friend Shaina’s website The Knockturnal, I had a chance to chat with almost all of the main players in the production: Omari Hardwick (“Ghost”), Lela Loren (“Angela”), Joseph Sikora (“Tommy”), Naturi Naughton (“Tasha”), Rotimi Akinosho (“Dre”) and La La Anthony (“LaKeisha”). We sat down at Langham Place in Midtown East earlier this month, before last weekend’s season four premiere. The cast members talked about working with 50 Cent (he’s on the show and its executive producer), the season four and five renewal of the program and the growing conflict within the show’s various storylines. I also asked Hardwick, who is the show’s main character, about promoting the new season following the death of Charlie Murphy. The Brooklyn-born comedian passed away in April after a bout with Leukemia; he was cast as a prison guard for the latest installment of the drama. A post shared by Ralphie Aversa (@ralphieaversa) on Jun 26, 2017 at 11:50am PDT The full interviews along with the features I wrote are below. New episodes of “Power” air Sundays at 12:01 am via the Starz app. In interview, rrs video 50 cent, Charlie Murphy, Joseph Sikora, La La Anthony, Langham Place, Lela Loren, Naturi Naughton, Omari Hardwick, Power, Rotimi Akinosho, Starz

Hi All, 2016 Black label 44k miles. My contour seats no longer work. Massage feature, lumbar feature no longer function. I can move the position of my chair but thats all. I just had the recall (wire harness) done hoping that, that would fix it. No luck. When I go to the contour seats on the screen to adjust the seats, it displays them, registers my touch but, adjust nothing on the screen or seat. I've looked on the forums and haven't found much info other than the harness replacement. Any ideas?

Fish Aggregating Devices (or FADs) are still widely used by tuna fishing fleets throughout the Pacific Ocean despite a (temporary) ban. The use of FADs results in the bycatch of many juvenile and unwanted species contributing to the depletion of fish stocks and threatening vulnerable marine species. Unique identifier: GP044DS Type: Video Shoot date: 29/09/2009 Locations: Pacific Ocean Credit line: © Greenpeace Duration: 2m41s Audio format: Final Mix Ranking: ★★★★★★★ (A) Containers Shoot: FAD Documentation in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Fish aggregation device (FAD) documentation in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The Ecuadorean purse seiners 'Cabo Marzo', 'Monteneme', 'Ingalapagos' and 'Ocean Lady' were spotted by the crew of the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza. Purse seine fishing vessels set their huge nets on these FADs taking everything with them, including a large bycatch of unwanted fish. Their bycatch included: juvenile bigeye tuna, juvenile yellowfin tuna, black marlin, Spanish mackerel, wahoo, triggerfish, mahi mahi, green sea turtle and Olive Ridley turtle. Greenpeace has confiscated several FADs which are currently banned in pockets of the Pacific Ocean. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices (FADs), and the establishment of a global network of marine reserves.

During the same time period, firearms writers declared the.357 Magnum 125-gr. JHP to be the best stopping power round. This load was supposed to be the ne plus ultra load, capable of rapidly decking an opponent but not over-penetrating as regular, heavier 158-gr. loads could. In summary, the pistol that was designed to be fed a continuous diet of.38 Specials with just the rare magnum round started to be fed entirely full-power.357s. There were reports of heavy magnum usage destroying the K-frame dream sidearms. The 125-gr. JHP was often cited as the load. These weights, for better or worse, became linked with fractured forcing cones. The K Frame was also known as the.38 Frame since it was particularly developed for that cartridge. The L Frame, on the other hand, was built as a beefier version of the K Frame to handle the power of.357 Magnum cartridges. Later in the century, L Frame revolvers were among of the most popular duty weapons. Of course, the midsized revolver market was a hot one for manufacturers, with Colt accounting for a sizable portion of sales. Colt began offering Medium sized revolvers on the E Frame in 1908. The E Frame began as a substitute for the more complicated New Army versions, the Colt Army Special. The Army Special was a huge hit with military and law enforcement personnel, and it served as the cornerstone for Colt's new medium-sized revolver line. Last week, I gave my early thoughts on the Smith & Wesson model 386, the first revolver on my short list to check out as a possible temporary replacement for the M&P9c 9mm that I generally carry every day. The 386's 7-shot capacity and lightweight aluminium frame give it a weight very near to the M&P, although the action could need some improvement, and I've had trouble finding a nice holster. The 386 offers some of the most sophisticated technology ever put to a contemporary combat revolver, but we're going to slow things down a little. The following contenders are a pair of all-steel Smith & Wesson K-frames, the Model 66 and Model 64. K-frame revolvers are the middle size in the Smith & Wesson series, sitting between the tiny J-frames and the medium-large L-frames. Because the Model 386 from last week is constructed on an L-frame, the 64 and 66 are significantly smaller overall, but heavier because they are made of steel rather than an aluminum-scandium alloy. Opinions? Click to enlarge... Ron, Do you have a location where you can rent and shoot various guns? I recommend trying both sizes and carrying whichever you can shoot the best and HIT with. It has to be a K, L, or N frame for me. A steel J frame in.38 or.357 is about the smallest I'll carry if I can't pack anything bigger. For me, the air weights rebound and hop about too much. (This is just my personal choice.) Whatever you select, put in a lot of practice time. If you don't practice, someone else, somewhere is. And he will win when you meet him. K Frame Vs J Frame Grips No, you won't get fifty-footers that way, but remember McGee's Rule of Threes. Allow that rapist/mugger to be surprised by letting your small pal do your talking. Five rounds of.38 Special or.357 Magnum ammunition from Messrs. Smith & Wesson will always capture their attention. The expression on their faces is priceless. In our GSL Defense Training Essential Carry program, we often allow the ladies (and later the males) the option to fire from within a handbag. It produces a lot of smiles and converts a lot of people. In fact, they devour it. The Model 649 Bodyguard, pictured here in its original.38 Special version from 1985 to 1998, is another ex-cop pistol, again my own and obtained new in 1986. However, this type is far from unattractive in that it provides a highly useful DA/SA alternative with an incorporated hammer shroud for either close-in DA, pocket fire, or longer-distance cocked SA usage. The high shroud totally prevents the hammer spur from snagging in either direction while yet allowing the thumb to reach it for cocking and/or decocking. The Colt Cobra has an old-school cool pull cylinder release and Hogue Overmolded grips. If you choose to load the appropriate +P loads for the gun, the grip fits the hand and helps minimize recoil. In the realm of hidden revolvers, the Colt Cobra is back and swinging. S&W 638 The S&W snubs have a tiny frame and are meant to be hidden as a main or backup weapon. Sights are inadequate for target practice, and the original grips were designed to compensate for the gun's small size. If the pistol is worn in a belt holster beneath the jacket, the traditional J-frame walnut grips are simple to hide and do not lend themselves to printing. They are also tiny enough to slip into a jacket pocket or a pocket holster. They are also prone to letting the gun to move during recoil, especially when firing rapidly. I've never been able to perform to my full potential when using these grips. They are the same width and height as the gun frame and do not hide the front or rear grip straps. Everything conceivable was done to make the pistol as inconspicuous as possible. Regrettably, controllability diminished. The single concession to helping stability was the checkered grips. S&W K Frame Vs J Frame I did some research and discovered that the I-frame was manufactured from about 1900 to 1950. It was formerly referred to as a.32 frame, therefore the name ".22/32" as in ".22/32 Kit Gun" and ".22/32 Target," suggesting that the gun was a.22 constructed on a.32 frame. It was a six-shot revolver in.22 or.32 (.32 S & W Long). It was later remade in.38 S&W caliber, becoming a five-shot revolver. For a moment, the.38 Regulation Police and.32 Regulation Police cartridges were popular, but the.38 Special cartridge became the police standard at the time. The.38 Terrier was an I-frame pocket revolver that was replaced by the.38 Special Chief's Special, a J-frame revolver. The Revolver Framework The revolver is a traditional piece of armament that has an unique place in the hearts of many Americans, and it has played an important role in modern firearm history. It's inevitable that we have various names for the old six-shooter, but one of the most prevalent is also the most perplexing. The L frame was designed when it was discovered that the Model 19 Combat Magnum on the K frame was inadequate for frequent usage of magnum ammunition, particularly hot 125 grain loads. When that pistol was first released, the plan was to train and drill with specials and carry magnums, with only familiarization fire at maximum power. According to one widely cited breakdown, the Model 19 was designed for 75 percent specials and 25 percent magnums throughout the course of a cop's career. When the focus of training switched to full-power magnums, the service life of the 19s decreased, with complaints of broken forcing cones and loose actions. The L frame was created as a dedicated.357 magnum platform to outlast the K frame firearms. They were able to preserve the same grip size and practically the same reach to the hammer and trigger while strengthening the wear spots on the receiver ring and barrel shank. Why the firearms are named J-Frames is another tale. There were two frame sizes when Smith & Wesson invented the side swing (referring to the swing-out chambers) series of revolvers in 1894. The smaller frame size was known as the I-Frame, while the bigger frame size was known as the K-Frame. These designations were not used for sales or promotion; they were only a means of identifying frame sizes internally. However, S&W staff began referring to the pistols by their frame size rather than the lengthy formal titles, such as The Smith & Wesson.32 Hand Ejector Model of 1903. It's simple to understand why the employees felt compelled to learn shorthand. Employees used this terminology in conversations with gun writers, and the gun writers caught up on the words and began using them. The allusions were quickly adopted by the general population. Even today, their frame letter distinguishes S&W revolvers, although none have achieved the popularity and notoriety that the J-Frame has. K Frame V J Frame Another issue is heeling, sometimes known as battle heeling. This is the result of inappropriately gripping the pistol too high on the grip. With this grip, the shooter often fires at the heart but misses the head areas, unless the bullet just goes over the target's head. This is the result of rushed training and not taking the time to reinforce the grasp. For what it's worth, I feel the circular butt grip frame is less prone to this kind of issue. After years of shooting revolvers, I've learned that how a grip feels does not always imply that it will perform well on the range. Smaller grips may result in greater finger encirclement and a firmer grasp. For most hand sizes, the spherical butt may result in a somewhat shorter trigger reach. When dealing with a double-action revolver, this is critical. We saw in earlier chapters that by employing a prime element of a positive-characteristic local field K, the ideas of multiresolution analysis (MRA) and wavelet may be expanded to such a field. We prove a version of the splitting lemma for this context in this chapter, and we use it to create the wavelet packets associated with such MRAs. We demonstrate that these wavelet packets form an orthonormal basis for (L2(K)) only via translations. In this situation, we also show an equivalent of the splitting lemma for frames and produce wavelet frame packets. Similarly to the orthonormal situation, we build biorthogonal wavelet packets and demonstrate that they offer Riesz bases as long as the splitting technique is done a limited number of times. When we suppose that the biorthogonal packets are uniformly bounded, we also get essential conditions. Clear Vision Sights are the other limiting element, and on stainless revolvers, they're simply plain difficult to identify and line up for accuracy in a hurry. They are tiny and brilliant under certain lighting conditions. That doesn't imply they're worthless; they just need some assistance. In the past, I've blacked the front blade and rear notch face of fixed-sight stainless revolvers using model aviation paint to decrease glare and generate contrasts, which works wonderfully well. The Model 60 already had a reddish paint added to its blade, and for certain eyes, that color contrast may be quicker in usage than black on black. Increasing contrast and removing the silvery glare-on-glare is always an upgrade on these tiny blasters, making them and you better shooters. I've always thought of the.38 snubnose as a superb short-range defensive weapon. The revolver is easy to use; just draw it and push the trigger to shoot. Loading and unloading is straightforward. In the worst-case situation at contact range, the revolver might be jammed into the adversary's torso and shot with each trigger pull. After the first shot, a self-loader may jam. Few of us have the time to practice in our fast-paced environment. This is not the pistol I would want to carry when confronted by a gang or an active shooter, but it will save your life and is ideally suited to close range defense. Nonetheless, with an experienced shooter, the type is very precise.

Hoh Rain Forest was nice but I think my expectations were too high. The Hall of Mosses trail, near the visitors center, is a nice walk (.8 miles). I also went 5 miles down the main Hoh River trail. It was decent but rarely did you get vistas (the river pictures are from the 5 mile mark). Ruby Beach was great. If I had it to do over I would have shortened the Hoh hike and spent more of this day on the beach. The trail was pretty muddy also. Best Easy Day Hikes: Olympics is a good guide for day hikes in Olympic National Park.

Abstract: Using data from the recent crisis, we analyze financial linkages between market liquidity and bank solvency measures in advanced economies and emerging market bond and stock markets. A multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model is estimated to gauge the extent of co-movements of these financial variables across markets. The findings indicate that the notion of possible decoupling of financial markets had been misplaced. In fact, interlinkages between funding stress and equity markets in advanced economies and emerging market financial indicators were highly correlated, and have seen sharp increases during specific crisis moments.

Stated simply, a stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced. This occurrence deprives your brain of blood and nutrients, leaving it unable to function correctly. The CDC estimates that about 6.5 million adults in the United States have had a stroke, and it is the fifth leading cause of death in this country. Things become more complicated when you consider the various types of strokes. Ischemic Strokes This type makes up about 85 percent of strokes, and occurs when arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, leading to severely reduced blood flow. The most common ischemic strokes include: • Thrombotic stroke – These occur when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one of the arteries supplying blood to the brain, which may be caused by fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries causing reduced blood flow (atherosclerosis). • Embolic stroke – This type of stroke happens when a blood clot (embolus) or other debris forms away from the brain, often in the heart, and is carried by the bloodstream to the arteries in your brain. Hemorrhagic Strokes These occur when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures. These can be caused by high blood pressure (hypertension), overtreatment with anticoagulants, and weak spots in your blood vessel walls (aneurysms). Basically, there are two types of hemorrhagic strokes. • Intracerebral hemorrhage – This stroke is caused by a blood vessel in the brain bursting, spilling blood into surrounding brain tissue and damaging brain cells. Brain cells beyond the leak are also damaged when deprived of blood. • Subarachnoid hemorrhage – This stroke is commonly caused by the bursting of an aneurysm on an artery on or near the surface of the brain, often accompanied by a sudden, severe headache. Blood vessels in the brain may also widen and contract erratically, limiting blood flow and inflicting further brain damage. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Often called a mini-stroke, a TIA occurs when a clot or debris temporarily blocks blood flow to part of your brain. The symptoms—vision changes, slurred speech, balance issues, tingling, and dizziness, among others—often clear within about five minutes, but you should get immediate medical treatment as a TIA puts you at risk for a full-blown stroke. Stroke Risk Factors & Prevention In addition to age and family history, certain other risk factors increase your chances of having a stroke. Lifestyle Risk Factors The most common of these include being overweight, lack of physical activity, heavy drinking, and smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke. Medical Risk Factors The main culprits include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation (Afib), a form of irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots that may travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Researchers in Denmark have also found that children two to three inches shorter than their peers are more likely to have strokes as adults. Preventive Steps Cerebrovascular specialists at Harvard Medical School suggest taking seven steps to reduce the chances of a stroke. • Lower your blood pressure – Aside from medications your doctor may prescribe, consume no more than about a half of a teaspoon of salt per day, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables along with fish two to three times per week, get more exercise, and quit smoking. • Lose weight – Losing as little as ten pounds can reduce your stroke risk. Try to consume no more than 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day and exercise more, making activity part of your daily routine. • Exercise – Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (brisk walking, water aerobics, bicycling) per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (jogging or running, swimming laps, brisk cycling). And add muscle-strengthening activities two to three times per week. • Drink in moderation – Consume no more than one drink per day. • Quit smoking – This is one of the most powerful lifestyle changes you can make to reduce the chances of a stroke. • Treat diabetes – Use diet, exercise, and prescribed medications to keep blood sugar within the recommended range. • Treat Afib – Your doctor may prescribe an anticoagulant to reduce your stroke risk from Afib. Finally, if you suffer any signs of a stroke—weakness on one side of the body, numbness of the face, unusual or severe headaches, vision loss, unsteady walk—call 911 immediately.

Let's run that again!.. The new bigger value, smaller footprint, lighter weight, heavy duty STORM 2200 Series keyboard is launched at the trade show in April. The recognized gold standard for kiosk keyboards just got better. A new modular tooling system enables STORM to offer their keyboard technology (originally developed for use by the British defense industry) in a wider range of sizes and formats. These new formats have been specially designed to address the unique requirements of the kiosk industry. Recognizing that many kiosk applications require a compact keyboard that will survive unsupervised public use, STORM set to work adapting their proven keyboard technology. Their goal was to produce a smaller, more concisely formatted keyboard into which kiosk users would be happy typing their e-mails. Touch screens are not considered to be the most suitable data entry system for kiosks offering e-mail or applications requiring sequences or 'strings' of characters to be entered by the user. The challenge faced by STORM's design team was to produce a highly responsive keyboard, with the minimum number of keys required to comfortably and intuitively enter text based information. To achieve this they were directed to eliminate keys with functions that are rarely used or understood by the kiosk pounding public. Ease of operation for those who are partially blind or with impaired dexterity was a primary objective. An often overlooked but essential requirement for any kiosk keyboard is the ability to survive rough use, abuse and regular sanitation procedures. A certified IP65 (nema 4) rating and unprecedented levels of vandal resistance have been achieved by STORM. These were just a few of more than 50 design and performance enhancements demanded by the project team. The result is a superbly crafted product, acclaimed by one leading kiosk manufacturer as "The ultimate kiosk keyboard. The one our customers insist we use".

10 March 2015 Architectural Association, London Oral historians try to ‘’convey the sense of fluidity, of unfinishedness, of an inexhaustible work in progress, which is inherent to the fascination and frustration of oral history – floating as it does in time between the present and an ever-changing past, oscillating in the dialogue between the narrator and the interviewer, and melting and coalescing in the no-man’s land from orality to writing and back’’1 [caption id="attachment_4107" align="alignnone" width="360"] Patricia Bullivant shows some of her work Image credit: Samantha Lee/ AA XX 100[/caption] Oral history is an art form unlike any other interview, where you ask a question, which is echoed back by an answer… then a question, then another answer… and so on and so forth. Oral history is a practice and method of research2. The main focus when recording an oral history is to provide enough stimulus and structure to guide the conversation, to let the individual feel comfortable enough to tell their story and to mainly listen. People speak more fluidly and freely than they do write. Yet to sit someone down and ask them to tell you about their life story is an unusual and rare occurrence. For the listener, the act of listening to someone’s oral history is a privilege. As part of the AA XX 100 celebrations of the centenary of women at the AA from 1917-2017, we are recording oral histories with AA alumni, teachers and staff, men and women, past and present. To conduct these recordings we work as a team of three. Yasmin Shariff (the chair of AA XX 100) takes the lead on selecting, approaching and arranging the interview and acts as an interviewer. Samantha Lee (AA Dipl.2012) takes the lead on conducting and editing the photography and film footage to document the oral history, which Anouk Ahlborn (AA 4th year) now helps with as well. My role is as the lead researcher and the main interviewer. I record and compile the audio recordings for the AA archives. We work closely with the AA Archivist Edward Bottoms who provides support and guidance on conducting oral histories and on collecting the material for the archives. Also the AA XX 100 members Dr Lynne Walker (Architectural Historian) and Eleanor Gawne (AA Head Librarian) act as advisors. So far we have conducted seven interviews with Joyce Taylor (née Wilson), Inette Austin-Smith (née Griessmann), Jean Symons (née Layton), Patricia Bullivant (née Bowden), Patricia Hepple, Eldred Evans and Su Rogers (née Brumwell). These individuals have only had certain built projects, certain stories and certain facts told and published about their careers. Alongside these known stories, an oral history recording allows for the untold, unheard and undocumented activities to be captured and not forgotten. These histories are filmed, as well as recorded as audio. We take portrait photographs, with copies given to the AA Photo Library. Upon our visit the interviewee often donates their student work to the AA Archives. The material we are collecting is incredibly rich, wonderful and unique and will be kept in the AA Archives for researchers to use. This material is invaluable as a resource to understand the development of architectural history, the architectural profession and the AA as an architecture school. [caption id="attachment_4103" align="alignnone" width="360"] Eldred Evans Image credit: Anouk Ahlborn/ AA XX 100[/caption] Prior to each oral history interview I conduct research on the career and lives of each interviewee. I send out a letter with a pack of information, to set the tone of the meeting and to help the interviewee prepare. As well as outlining our intention, I include in the pack a couple of photographs of the school when they were a student and a list of who we believe are their fellow students, teachers and the subjects they completed. This information is taken from the archives and from the prospectuses, journals, etc. of that time. Next, I gather as many facts, research references and props that I can find on the interviewee and then I order these into a chronological structure, which acts as a series of prompts for the interview to guide (without leading) the conversation and to keep the dialogue moving3. Though I may prepare a structure, I have to be ready to deviate to follow the interviewee’s conversation. [caption id="attachment_4108" align="alignnone" width="360"] Su Rogers Image credit: Samantha Lee/ AA XX 100[/caption] The props and known facts I collect act as memory triggers for specific topics. The props can include photographs, books, student work, diaries, articles and other memorabilia. For instance, Inette Austin-Smith held her magnifying glass up to each and every face in the photographs of the AA in the 1940s to see if she could recognise them. Indeed Inette found great delight in recognising her teachers, others students and she even recognised herself! This information will be passed onto the AA Photo Library to add to their records. The general structure of the interview is: - Life before the AA. This includes when they were born; their parents; any siblings; their childhood education and experiences; and finally what made them consider architecture as a career. - Time spent at the AA as a student. This includes their entrance interview; the subjects studied; memories of teachers; staff and their fellow students; their influences and role models; and their student life. - Their career after the AA: from graduation to the present. This general structure is tailored to each individual. For example Su Rogers was not a student at the AA, though she visited on a regular basis to have lunch in Ching’s Yard with her friends who were students here. At this time Su attended public lectures and the AA Carnival (by working to earn a ticket). She recalled one lecture by Max Lock about the marriage between music and architecture. Su studied Sociology at the nearby London School of Economics, before studying Town Planning at Yale. Later, Su became a design tutor at the AA and at the Royal College of Art in the 1970s. Each edited recording spans at least three hours but can stretch to four to five hours. We travel to the person's home or office to capture the individual in their natural environment, where they are at ease. There is a lot of ground to cover so we take our time. At the end of the recording the conversation comes to a natural end. [caption id="attachment_4106" align="alignnone" width="360"] Joyce Taylor's Oral History in progress with Yasmin Shariff and Hannah Durham Image credit: Samantha Lee/ AA XX 100[/caption] The stories we are collecting are extraordinary not only for shedding light on the AA school in the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s (we are yet to cover the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s), but equally the broader lives of women and men as architects during these periods in England. Though women were first admitted as students to the AA in 1917, they were a minority for many years afterwards. These women are part of a small handful who at that time went on to become architects and designers and practice in their field. They are pioneers. In listening you discover the unwritten rules in society and culture and how these women challenged and broke them. For instance, Jean Symons fiercely persuaded the AA Principal Robert Furneaux-Jordan that she just could not graduate as an architect until she had some site experience. Jean subsequently worked as a technical assistant in the site office of the Royal Festival Hall between her 4th and 5th years as a student. An experience she documented in ‘Concert Hall Notebook: A record of fifteen months on the site’, later published in AA Files in 1999. Jean went on to have an incredible career including lecturing and publishing research on the design of health buildings such as day care centres. In addition, Jean and her husband Cecil Symons (1921-87), a physician and cardiologist, amassed a fascinating collection of artefacts used by physicians and for self-care in the home. Amongst this collection is an unimaginable amount of nipple shields, tongue scrapers and stethoscopes. When Cecil died, Jean catalogued the collection and donated it to the Royal College of Physicians, which later awarded her with a President's Medal for her work. On hearing Eldred Evans’s story, an AA student who won a prize every year, you understand how hard work, pure determination, mixed with great talent, can prevail. Eldred talks passionately about her father Merlyn Evans, a remarkable British artist, who had a terrific work ethic. She then talks about how she once worked so hard as a student that she forgot the last time she had slept. To her annoyance, her knuckles kept on bleeding and she had to stop work to visit a doctor. Her hard work, determination and talent is clear. Eldred later partnered with architect David Shalev (who later taught at the AA) to produce many marvellous buildings as Evans & Shalev. [caption id="attachment_4105" align="alignnone" width="360"] Jean Symons showing her President's Medal from the Royal College of Physicians Image credit: Samantha Lee/ AA XX 100[/caption] These oral histories provide learning resources for the future. For current students listening they hear about the varied careers of former students (like themselves) to help them grapple with the question of ‘what’s next.’ For graduates and practising architects, they consider what they want their own oral history to be like. Collecting, listening and sharing these folklores strengthens the AA and the architectural community through many generations by making connections with our forebears. Each person we interview has enjoyed the opportunity to tell their oral history, just as much as we have enjoyed listening. As AA XX 100 we will continue to collect oral history recordings with AA alumni, teachers and staff members, past and present, men and women, until 2017. We hope that by then the AA archives, together with the recordings the archives are collecting, will house an extraordinary and completely unique collection of oral histories of many of the great British trained architects, designers, as well as teachers, thinkers and architectural staff members over the last century, all of whom are fellow members of the AA community.

Fortify collaborates with a variety of stakeholders to develop sustainable solutions that work in the context of regional consumer preferences, national regulatory directives and global nutritional standards. Fortify partners on advocacy and education efforts with leading organizations and foundations dedicated to food, nutrition, health, and international development, including the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), The Wellbeing Foundation of Africa (WBFA), and USAID; and with government agencies, such as The Federal Ministries of Nigeria and Ghana. IRON FORTIFIED TOMATO PRODUCTS - WEST AFRICA A New Food Vehicle to Fortify Everyday Meals with Iron in West Africa Identified processed tomato products as best, frequently consumed and healthy option for iron fortification Targeted leading tomato paste processors in West Africa Guided the global agribusiness company, Olam International, with our food science expertise to develop and test an iron fortified tomato paste for consumers In June 2019, Olam launched the first-ever iron fortified tomato mixes (three varieties of tomato paste) in Nigeria, processing at least 20 million sachets monthly. In November 2020, Olam began distribution of iron fortified rice in Ghana. In June 2021, they began distributing iron fortified tomato mixes in Ghana as well. A Three-Way Alliance to Boost Nutrition and Strengthen the Tomato Value Chain In Nigeria, Fortify is the nutrition lead in a three-way alliance formed to improve the nutritional status of Nigerians, especially women and children, and to improve economic stability for families. The partners are: Tomato Jos, a Nigerian farm-to-processing company that helps farmers improve crop quality and yield to increase their ability to sell their produce for processing World Vegetable Center, a global research and development organization that builds networks, and carries out training and promotion activities to raise awareness of the role of vegetables for improved health and global poverty alleviation Fortify provides technical guidance on fortification to Tomato Jos and leads education and outreach efforts to community health workers and other key stakeholders about the benefits of consuming an iron fortified product. A Partnership to Increase Nutrition Training for Health Care Providers Serving Women and Children While the new coronavirus hits the poorest the hardest, Fortify and the Wellbeing Foundation Africa have joined forces to help strengthen the nutritional status some of the most vulnerable in Africa – those suffering from iron deficiency anemia (at least 40% of women and 60% of young children). The partnership is based on a mutual dedication to save lives and improve overall wellness of mothers, and in turn, their children. Together, Fortify and WBFA are building awareness and educating community health providers and mothers about the life-saving benefits of consuming iron fortified products. WBFA is a Nigeria-based organization founded in 2004 by Her Excellency Mrs. Toyin Ojora Saraki, with the aim of improving health outcomes for women, infants, and children. The WBFA combines programs with advocacy work in Nigeria and around the world.

— Letter by the artist and response letters received from visual artists and architects who have worked on the buildings of the Star Network (Sternet), an ambitious series of developments in the Netherlands, which started at the end of the 1970’s. 12 postal hubs, close to railway stations of mayor cities, were designed to facilitate the postal system. This turned out to be an expensive mistake, as road traffic proved more efficient.

SRNT-E is the European Chapter of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco established in 2011. It’s aim is to advance our understanding of nicotine and tobacco with the ultimate goal of reducing the harms associated with the use of these products. The society hosts an annual conference, bringing together researchers from Europe and beyond, which takes place in September. About SRNT‑E Notice Dr Mateusz Zatoński (1987-2022) Sad announcement of the death of Dr Mateusz Zatoński It is with immense sadness that we announce that Dr Mateusz (Matteo) Zatoński died of a very rare cancer in hospital in London on 17 January 2022, following a short period of illness. He worked and lived his life to the fullest till the end. He left this world far too soon, but peacefully and with his beloved wife and partner of 16 years, Dr Aleksandra (Ola) Herbeć, by his side. An SRNT-E member and leading light in the international tobacco control community, he achieved much in his 34 short but prodigious years. Having graduated with first-class honours in history and politics from Glasgow, he then achieved a distinction in his MA in Central and South-East European Studies at University College London, followed by a MSc and a PhD in Public Health, both from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. A prodigious polymath, he spoke Czech, English, French, Italian and Russian, in addition to his native Polish. He published extensively, with over 60 outputs to his name, making vital contributions to public health globally, but most notably in central and eastern Europe. In addition to his brilliance, it is his humanity, humour and generosity that will be missed the most. We extend our deepest sympathy to Aleksandra, his parents Professor Witold and Mrs Jadwiga Zatoński, his four older brothers, Paweł, Witek, Marcin and Mario, his wider family, friends, and colleagues and research collaborators worldwide. There will be a family funeral in his native Poland later in the year, with a celebration of his life and a full obituary to follow. His wife and father invite Mateusz’s colleagues to share their thoughts and memories of his vibrant academic and professional life and friendships on this memory board.

I strongly urge you to step back from your newly announced campaign to release the 75 US agents in Cuba. Associated Press reported on July 30 that your researcher Paige Wilhite has stated that "They are prisoners of conscience and the Cuban government has to release them immediately and without conditions." To the contrary, they have broken Cuban laws prohibiting funding from foreign governments, a law found in any sovereign state, including democracies like the USA and Great Britain. To people of conscience on the left, this well-orchestrated campaign to isolate and punish Cuba economically is rather transparent. You have joined groups such as Reporters Without Borders, whose animosity to communism or state-owned media in 3rd world countries is driven more by bottom line considerations than freedom of expression it would seem. (42% of the budget of "Reporter Without Borders" is covered by the Commission of the European Union, a body which is fanatically pro-privatization.) While Amnesty International has a rather preening posture about being "above politics", it has shown a rather dismaying tendency in the past to adapt to the foreign policy needs of the USA and Great Britain, where it seems to enjoy the greatest support both socially and economically. For example, when the Iraqi army was accused of ripping babies from hospital incubators in December 1990, Amnesty International told the Washington Post that "We heard rumors of these deaths as early as August but only recently has there been substantial information on the extent of the killings." Not only were you spreading disinformation hatched by the infamous Hill & Knowlton public relations firm, you were helping to launch the war against Iraq whose opening salvos relied on this lurid fabrication. Next you got involved in the Balkans--once again on behalf of US foreign policy. When you sponsored a 25 city tour in the USA for Jadranka Cigelj, Judith Miller (!) of the NY Times wrote glowingly about your efforts to raise awareness about how the Serbs were using rape as a political weapon--even quoting the wretched David Rieff, who has emerged as a frontline spokesman for humanitarian imperialist interventions. Unfortunately neither Judith Miller nor your public relations department spelled out the exact character of Cigelj's activism around the rape issue, nor her sordid political past. In "Fool's Crusade", Diana Johnstone points out that "Cigelj was a vice president of Croatian president Franjo Tudjman's ruling nationalist party, the Croatian Democratic Community (HDZ) and was in charge of the Zagreb office of the Croatia Information Center (CIC), a wartime propaganda agency funded by the same cryptofascist Croatian émigré groups that backed Tudjman. The primary source for reports of rape in Bosnia was Cigelj's CIC and associated women's groups, which sent 'piles of testimony to Western women and to the press'". She adds: "The CIC benefited from a close connection with the 'International Gesellschaft fur Menschenrechte' (International Association for Human Rights, IGfM), a far right propaganda institute set up in 1981 as a continuation of the Association of Russian Solidarists, an expatriate group which worked for the Nazis and the Croatian fascist Ustashe regime during World War II. In the 1980s, this organization led a propaganda campaign against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, accusing them of running camps where opponents were tortured, raped, and murdered on a massive scale." Finally, an article by Paul De Rooij in the October 31, 2002 online edition of Counterpunch titled "Amnesty International & Israel: Say it isn't so!" you to task for trivializing Israeli violence and apolitical fence-sitting. He writes: "Reading AI's reports doesn't reveal why there is a conflict in the area in the first place. The portrayal of violence is stripped of its context, and historical references are minimal. The fact that Palestinians have endured occupation, expulsion, and dispossession for many decades, the explanation of why the conflict persists, is nowhere highlighted in its reports. This posture eliminates the possibility of taking sides, and AI doesn't automatically side with the oppressed victims; instead, it assumes a warped sense of balance. It qualitatively equates the violence perpetrated by the IOF with Palestinian resistance. In attempting to be impartial, AI is oblivious to the history of ethnic cleansing that is the root cause. Israeli violence is qualitatively different than Palestinian violence; it is different than that found in other conflicts because it aims to expel the native population." Not that I would gainsay De Rooij's compelling argument, but I would quibble with one characterization. Instead of describing AI as "fence-sitting", I would regard you--at least in these instances--as having fallen off the fence and into the lap of the US and British foreign policy establishment.

Photo Caption: Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett (left) shares a special moment with Jimmy Cliff, IRIE FM Lifetime Achievement awardee, and former Prime Minister, the Most Hon. P.J. Patterson (right). They are pictured here together on Sunday, February 12, 2017 at the inaugural IRIE FM Lifetime Achievement awards ceremony, held at the Somerton All-Age School, St. James, Jamaica. Photo Credit: Ministry of Tourism Nestled in a lush green valley where a river once ran, is a town called Somerton. It is the childhood hometown of musician, actor, rock and roll hall of famer, the honorable Doctor Jimmy Cliff, OM. Sunday, February 12, 2017 saw droves of people from all cultures and walks of life, take the winding road on the outskirts of Montego Bay, to this cool, fertile, hilly town to participate in the honoring of this great Jamaican icon. Jamaica’s reggae radio, IRIE FM chose to bestow upon him the honor of a Lifetime Achievement Award, for a body of work that spans 55 years with a discography of over 300 songs. It was history in the making for Somerton, a community that nurtured the stalwart Jimmy Cliff who encapsulates the genres of film, music and the arts, a former prime minister PJ Patterson who originated in Adelphi land, and prolific, celebrated director & screenwriter Lennie Little-White, (cousin to Jimmy) were all schooled there at the Somerton All Age & Infant school. The Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, announced during his presentation, that the magnitude of their contirbution, has greatly inspired the Ministry of Tourism to turn Somerton All Age School into a School of Excellence for the Arts and Culture. The programme hosted by Okyeame Professor Carolyn Cooper, CD and designed by Ka’bu Ma’at Kheru presented a professional quality of excellence that will become the model to follow. The Tributes to Dr Jimmy Cliff, Music Icon were numerous, taking the form of prose, poetry, dub and song. The School’s little auditorium packed to capacity, with the surrounding grounds spilled to overflowing, was bursting with love and respect for the Music icon. Bongo Herman, took to the microphones to share his story as one of the actors in the movie “The Harder They Come,” then took to his drums and with chants of “Bongo man a come," he gave a powerful performance to enliven the thrilled audience. SPOKEN TRIBUTES: Hon. Percival James Patterson ON, PC presented his tribute based on his personal recollections of Somerton, which he referred to as his backbone, a place of fond memories.During his tribute, he pointed out the various ‘Books’ or Grades from first to sixth which he completed and then went on to Calabar. Patterson reminded the audience that Somerton All Age & Infant School is one of the first schools formed after slavery was abolished. He spoke of the vison of Somerton returning to the days of his youth where people stopped to say ‘howdie do,’ people knew and protected each other. On one of his official trips to Benin, West Africa, Patterson saw huge Posters of Jimmy Cliff posted on light poles in the town and when he identified himself as a friend of Jimmy, he gained the respect of the people of Benin. Patterson concluded in saying “the next occasion of tribute will be to recognize Somerton as a School of Excellence for the people they have produced”. His Worship, Homer Davis the Mayor of Montego Bay gave greetings and announced that plans were in place to rename Gloucester Avenue, known as the ‘Hip Strip in that town, the ‘Jimmy Cliff Blvd’. Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett gave a rousing speech in which he said of the Honoree “when you go across the world Jimmy Cliff pops up not just as a reference of another human being, but a powerful representation of iconoclastic achievement from a little country that like a boat on a big ocean packs waves that are so mighty to be called tsunami.” With deference to the great talent and achievements he declared that Somerton All Age School would become a School of Excellence for the Arts and Culture. Ali McNab represented Hon. Olivia Babsy Grange, the Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sports; he read a prepared message that lauded Dr Jimmy Cliff’s contributions to Jamaica’s music cache on the international tourism export market and also spoke on the significance of the music icon being honored by his own and at home. The Culture Minister thanked IRIE FM and Carl Young its founder for his sterling contributions and hoped this would be a signal to other Media to play a role of increasing cultural awareness over and above just carrying the news. Justine Henzel, daughter of the late Perry Henzell director of the film “The Harder They Come” gave a rousing tribute which shared the love she and her family has for Jimmy Cliff and detailed their shared history leading up to the production of the film. The Henzell family tribute was well received by the audience and her brother Jason Henzel, who would play in the IRIE FM Invitational vs Jimmy Cliff All Stars at the end of the Awards ceremony. MUSICAL & PERFORMANCE TRIBUTES: Students of the Somerton all age and infant school showcased their talents with dub poetry, interspersed with some of Jimmy’s songs. L' Cadco, dancers turned words into body language and moved the audience with a frenetic, but sophisticated tribute in dance called “Many moods of Jimmy Cliff". Tony Greene made his saxophone speak a haunting melody of " Many Rivers to Cross". Yasus Afari and Bushman fused dub poetry "Washing all your troubles Away with the melodious warble of "I Can See Clearly Now". Queen Ifrica delivered a strong rendition of “The Harder They Come”. Tammy T implored Jimmy to sing with her a song called "For Love". From his front row seat his voice joined hers onstage and together they soared, voices lifting in an emotional, haunting rendition of this piece which meant so much to Tammy. Lennie Little-White composed a biography where he likened Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff as three sides of a triangle, and showcased how their paths fused to make them the greatest Jamaica has ever produced. He also referred to his growing up with Jimmy in Somerton and believing his mother who told them that they had the potential within to choose more than the mundane path of life. With words and music to amplify, he moved through Jimmy’s life path from Somerton to Kingston, England, to his first hit song about a hurricane called ‘Hattie’, introducing Bob Marley to the music scene, his starring role as Ivan in the movie “The Harder They Come" (co-written by Jamaica’s Perry Henzel). Jimmy’s life of black self-reliance, his ability to portray rude boy and a saint, his gift as a singer, song writer, entertainer, his shyness and way of expressing himself with words were all highlighted. His search for self, his spirituality, his desire for social justice and the radical stance he took to be himself, he spoke the universal language and connected to people and was the first through the movie "The Harder They Come", to introduce reggae music to the world. Caribnewsroom posed a question to Jimmy – “With Jamaica as it is now, what would you like to see changed?” He replied that he wanted to see jobs and opportunities for the youth. He said it was the lack thereof which has created scamming and such violence in the country and when jobs are created, the violence would lessen immensely. From all the tributes, it is clear to see that Jimmy has great interest in the cause of the youth, social justice, community effort & outreach, his spirituality, living a life of purpose and choosing to take a path that honors and uplifts others. This has led him to receiving the IRIE FM Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr Jimmy Cliff gracefully accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Ka’bu Ma’at Kheru wherein he thanked Victor Chambers his brother, stressed that “the values learned are still with us; the bridge was built with our money, our love. Love is still here, consciousness is still here. We don’t depend on politicians, we respect them, but we don’t depend on them. Our Community Centre, we did that with our own money, sweat and blood. Community spirit is still here.” He went further to vision the community as Eco Tourism area, speaking to Minister Edmund Bartlett, he said “I will detail it for you when we meet.” Close to dusk, he then moved outside the auditorium, took to the stage and freely and lovingly gave a doting receptive audience a stirring rendition of his hit songs through the ages. He also introduced songs from his new album and sang one to women about them being more than girls, females, women, that they are goddesses.

The Beograd Center for Studies in Cultural Development conducted a large-scale research of the present-day Serbian theatre in 2009. Planned as a comprehensive overview of the present state of affairs in the Serbian theatres, the project implied data collection, a detailed analysis of operation, organization, production and ways of financing, as well as a projection of possible new and better models of functioning of both theatre system as a whole and individual theatres with the view of their achieving a better balance of desirable and possible. In the present social moment the Serbian theatres are a very important segment of research in culture due to their functions, and the need for crucial and concrete reforms of their functioning stemming from the ongoing social changes.

When we first started planning this trip, the Winds were immediately on the list of places to go. I’m not sure why. Honestly I didn’t know anything about them. But something must have gotten though to me because it was one of the “not negotiable” places for the summer. And they were unexpectedly amazing. The Winds are also remote. They’re in Wyoming, in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Enough said. We drove nearly 30 miles on a dirt road from the middle of nowhere to a parking lot in the Southern section of the range called Big Sandy, which is apparently one of the easier places to get to. Having not known much about the Winds it came as a surprise, after the one and a half hour drive, that nearly 100 cars filled the Big Sandy parking lot. In terms of geology, the Wind River Range is one of the most unique places in the world. In terms of geology, the Wind River Range is one of the most unique places in the world. In the Winds, you’ll see an amazing amount of displacement (which refers to two blocks of earth shifting past one another; one up, the other down) — some of the most in the world. The Wind River Range is also granite, which seems out of place (in a wonderful way) in the Rocky Mountains. Most of the Rockies are actually sedimentary in origin. And, there are 31 peaks over 13,000 feet and they also hold roughly 180 glaciers, many of which are the largest in the Rockies (remember that this does not include the Cascade Range). The Winds boast the most extensive glacier network in the lower 48. Gannett Glacier, which lives under Gannett Peak, Wyoming’s largest (at 13,809 feet), is the largest glacier in the Rockies. Combined the displacement, the height, and the glaciated history the Wind River Range produces a lot of “oh my gosh’s”. The Winds are also known for the seasons – and there is no good season in the Winds. It is winter from mid-September to mid-June and most of June and July are reserved for the mosquitoes, which are famous there, comparable only to Alaska. So that leaves August and half of September, which is when the thunder storms come. We planned to hike for five days, one of which would be reserved for a side trip or extra day in an area. Our trip took us over three passes; Haley Pass, Lizard Head Pass, and Jackass Pass (although we got a little lost and ended up going over another pass). Day 1 and we were already seeing incredible scenery. Day 2 we were wondering why we never really heard about it. Day 3 and the storms came. Day 4 and 5 we dodged rain, did what we could to salvage the side trips, and embraced the amazing scenery.
