Largest MLK processions in U.S. set for Monday in San Antonio
Months of planning, aesthetic route improvements, and volunteer work will culminate Monday in the city's 29th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. March, recognized as one of the largest MLK processions in the nation.
An estimated crowd of more than 200,000 are expected to participate in the 2.75 mile march that's scheduled to start at 10 a.m., at the MLK Freedom Bridge, 3500 MLK Drive. The walk will end at Pittman-Sullivan Park, 1101 Iowa St., where a commemorative program will take place at noon. The keynote speaker will be actor and author Hill Harper with feature performances by Gospel singer Isaac Carree and San Antonio native, Jeremy Green, a classically trained violinist.
A free worship program, featuring contemporary and traditional music, will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the park.
Also on Monday, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the Psi Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. and the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center will sponsor the Charles R. Drew Blood Drive elsewhere at the park.
A wreath-laying ceremony is scheduled Sunday at 2 p.m., at MLK Plaza at the intersection of N. New Braunfels Avenue and E. Houston Street. Later at 4 p.m., a citywide interfaith worship service will take place at St. Gerard Catholic Church, 1523 Iowa St.
This year's theme is "Uniting Communities to Advance Humanity."
Commission chairman Brandon Logan said emphasis was placed on bringing everyone together for educational and cultural-based events leading up to the march during King Week San Antonio that kicked off January 11.
"The objective was to make sure we had a more informed and educated citizen base, so when the march comes they're going to have a greater understanding of the civil rights movement and they're now marching with greater purpose," he said. "We want to make certain we don't lose the true essence of why we gather on Jan. 18, to not only commemorate the life and teachings of Dr. King, but to stand in the gap and continue to fight for human equality, justice and freedom for all."
That commitment sparked the event that draws thousands of marchers of all ages, races and ethnicities to the East Side. The late Rev. R. A. Callies has been credited as the man who began the tradition in 1972 when he led his family and a group of youths along Houston Street from the Alamo to New Braunfels Avenue to honor the civil rights leader.
Logan said passing King's teachings to future generations is a hallmark of the march. Fundraising events and education partnerships raised more than $250,000 for scholarships, he said, to be awarded to local high school students this year.
Mike Etienne, director of the EastPoint/Promise Zone, said planning for the march began in earnest in May.
He said preparations along the route are the result of city departments that include the San Antonio Police Department, park police, code enforcement, parks and recreation, transportation and capital improvements.
"Along with the commission, we have an excess of 200 volunteers working diligently to put on the march and make sure it's a success," Etienne said. "Everyone has a strong interest in celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King."
Last Monday, San Antonio District 2 Councilman Alan Warrick, Etienne, and community leaders unveiled artwork featuring banners and street signs bearing King's image, which will stay up all year. New artwork for the Coleman Bridge was created by students enrolled in Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum's MOSAIC program.
Cars, motorcycles and other vehicles are not allowed along the march route.
VIA Metropolitan Transit will offer free bus service Monday, between 8-10 a.m., for people who park at Lot 1 at Freeman Coliseum, 3201 E. Houston St., and Lot 22 at St. Philip's College, 1801 Martin Luther King Drive.
Riders will be driven to MLK Drive, west of Upland Drive. Return service will take place from noon to 3 p.m. at Pittman-Sullivan Park.

Create an EC2 AMI with Ansibleby Sebastien Mirolo on Thu, 30 Mar 2017
Time to boot EC2 instances has significantly improved over the years but it still takes in the order of tens of minutes to do a system update and configuration. As a result, we always create a base image, fully configure and that is then instantiated as necessary. Of course, we use Ansible to setup and register that AMI.
Finding a suitable base image
For us mere developers, it is turtles all the way down. We need to select a base AMI already registered with AWS to build our application base image of.
There is a lot going into picking a suitable base, not a small part being the quirks of instance type and region we will run the image on.
One way to select a base image is to list the suitable instances in the region we are interested in and pick the appropriate ami-id. For example:
$ cat ~/.aws/config
region = us-west-2
$ cat ~/.aws/credentials
aws_access_key_id = ***
aws_secret_access_key = ***
$ aws ec2 describe-images --filters "Name=virtualization-type,Values=hvm"
An alternative consists of looking the ami-id for the latest stock image of your favorite distribution. Example: Fedora Cloud
Configure the instance
We use a cloud-init script to configure the instance. The Ansible files look something like this:
$ cat playbooks/group_vars/all
# Variables to connect to AWS
aws_account: **** # AWS accountID (used in S3 bucket policies)
aws_region: us-west-2 # AWS region where resources are allocated
# Variables to create EC2 instances
key_name: **** # Key used to first ssh into an instance
aws_zone: us-west-2b # EBS/EC2 must be in the same zone.
ami_id: ami-3dea475d # Base image (Fedora 25 HVM GP2)
$ cat playbooks/aws-create-images.yml
- name: Create and configure EC2 instances to be used as AMIs
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: False
- create_base_image
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/tasks/main.yml
- name: Create EC2 instance to setup front-end web server
module: ec2
key_name: "{{key_name}}"
group: "default"
instance_profile_name: "default-profile"
instance_type: t2.micro
image: "{{ami_id}}"
region: "{{aws_region}}"
zone: "{{aws_zone}}"
user_data: "{{lookup('template', '../templates/cloud-init-script.j2')}}"
wait: yes
register: web_base
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/templates/cloud-init-script.j2
set -x
set -e
/usr/bin/dnf -y update
/usr/bin/dnf -y install docker awscli
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
With the code above it is then possible to start an EC2 instance and run a configuration script through cloud-init.
$ ansible-playbook playbooks/aws-create-images.yml
The issue here is that we run the commands to register the AMI before the setup of the instance is complete we will have an inconsistent image. We need to wait until cloud-init is done before moving forward.
wait_for, and register image
As we are debugging the Ansible playbooks, it is often useful to log into the instance and tail the cloud-init output.
$ cat /var/lib/cloud/instances/*instance-id*/scripts/part-001
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
With a way to see what is going on, it is time to think how to wait for cloud-init to complete in the Ansible playbook. A first idea is to touch a file at the end of the cloud-init script and have Ansible wait for it to appear.
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/templates/cloud-init-script.j2
sudo -u fedora touch /home/fedora/.web-done
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/tasks/main.yml
- name: Wait for configuration of EC2 instance completed
delay: 300
path: /home/fedora/.web-done
The wait_for directive does not work here because our playbook executes in the context of the local host and not the remote ec2 instance. Thus Ansible will be waiting on a file /home/fedora/.web-done to appear on the local host. A bit ugly, yet it can be solve by running a ssh command:
- name: Wait for configuration of EC2 instance completed
module: command
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i {{lookup('env', 'HOME')}}/.ssh/{{key_name}} fedora@{{web_base.instances[0].public_ip}} sh -c "'while [ ! -f /home/fedora/.web-done ]; do sleep 30; done'"
Outside stumbling on issue #14655,
and having to add
AddKeysToAgent yes to ~/ssh/config
on the latest macOS Sierra so that we do not get prompted for the password
to decrypt the key every time, this works.
We can do better though. Assuming the ssh port is filtered in the security group but the http port is not, we can run a small web server and use the Ansible wait_for module in a straightforward manner.
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/templates/cloud-init-script.j2
# Ansible will be waiting for this server to respond
# before it continues with registering the AMI.
cd /home/fedora
sudo -u fedora echo "DONE" > index.html
/usr/bin/python3 -m http.server 80
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/tasks/main.yml
delay: 540 # Yeah, it takes about 8min to update and install packages.
host: "{{web_base.instances[0].public_ip}}"
port: 80
state: started
register image and clean up
Once we have a way to wait for cloud-init to be completed, registering the AMI and cleaning up is straightforward.
$ cat playbooks/roles/create_base_image/tasks/main.yml
- name: Register AMI for front-end web servers
module: ec2_ami
region: "{{aws_region}}"
instance_id: "{{web_base_device_id}}"
name: "web-{{web_base_device_id}}"
description: "Front-end web reverse proxy"
wait: yes
register: web_ami
# Records the ami-id is the set of dynamic variables for other playbooks.
- lineinfile: "dest=group_vars/dynamic regexp='^web_ami_id:' line='web_ami_id: {{web_ami.image_id}}'"
- name: Delete EC2 instance configured to create front-end web server AMI
module: ec2
region: "{{aws_region}}"
instance_id: "{{web_base_device_id}}"
state: absent

Improving management of the São Paulo State Federal University Herbarium
Maria Beatriz Rossi Caruzo
Process backlog, Conserve
Cost: $
Universidade Federal de São Paulo
The main objective of the project is to improve the management of the Herbarium from São Paulo State Federal University (HUFSP) which is an important repository of voucher material for researches on systematics, ecology, conservation biodiversity, ethnobotany, paleobiology and phytochemistry, and also an important support for classes and extension projects. Another objective is to improve the collection with fieldwork expeditions to document some important knowledge gaps in Central Brazil in order to contribute to the Flora of Brazil 2020 project (http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/).
Brazil is facing a huge contingency for research, being all public universities the most affected institutions. Campus Diadema is one of the most underprivileged units of UNIFESP, located at Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, is the only campus having a Biological Sciences undergraduate course. So, the improvement of this Herbarium would be of great importance for the Institution and for the community.
Even though we have a small herbarium with only about 600 registered exsiccate, we still have many specimens from different research projects at Unifesp (about 800) in need of mounting and to be included into the collection. Therefore, all material requested in this project (1000 sheets of Opaline 240 grams A3 format, high brightness; 1000 sheets of Kraft paper, for species cover) will be used for mounting specimens and store them in the herbarium cabinets. For mounting, registering and storing specimens we have a team of undergraduate and graduate students, already trained for this activity.
In order to achieve the goals of this project, we intend to realize one fieldwork expedition in Central Brazil (in areas of transition between Amazon and 'Cerrado' Domains). Since we will have few resources, we must optimize the amount spent on the fieldwork expedition. Thus, only the two main researchers from HUFSP (Dr. Maria Beatriz Rossi Caruzo and Dr. Carla Poleselli Bruniera) will participate on the expedition, which is expected to occur in September 2020.
The first step (in March 2020) will be buying all material for mounting (papers) and storing (herbarium cabinets) herbarium specimens. As soon as we get all material needed we will start mounting and registering the 800 specimens we already have (this will probably start at the end of March or beginning of April and will continue until August 2020). After mounting and registering, the specimens will be properly stored in herbarium cabinets.
Fieldwork expeditions will be done in September 2020. We choose this month because we took into account the phenology of the species we are interested in collect. After finishing the fieldwork, we will process all specimens, mounting, registering and storing them in herbarium cabinets.

Love Prospects Using Dream Interpretation, Pyromancy & Moon Lore
"Being the soothsayer of the tribe is a dirty job, but someone has to do it."
– Anthon St. Maarten
Predicting Love Your own Way: If waiting patiently for omens or doing rituals isn't your cup of tea and you can't find a handy soothsayer in your area, try divining the present and future yourself. For every passively observed sign, portent, and a bit of folk wisdom, there is at least one active divination method available. Now you just have to choose what you'd like to try.
Dreaming of Love and Romance
Some might say that Dreams are not exactly an "active" divination method. Nonetheless, you can take specific actions that direct your dreams toward similarly specific topics, in this case, love. Some may meditate before going to sleep guiding their thoughts to a specific question. Others hang dream catchers over the bed. And we're just getting started.
You can make a dream pillow for yourself. Fill it with rose, mint, lemon verbena and mugwort. Or make tea from these herbs (1/2 teaspoon of each dried herb to a cup of water). Drink the tea before bed.
To determine the state of your love life, put a personal journal, a key, a ring, a flower, a piece of willow, a piece of bread, and cards under your pillow. Whichever item you dream of indicates an answer:
- The Book: Represents a forthcoming marriage.
- The Key: An opportunity to meet someone special.
- The Flower: Blossoming relationship.
- The Willow: A need for flexibility.
- The Bread: A secure relationship.
- The Cards: A risky relationship.
Some say timing matters in dreaming true. On St. Thomas' eve have an onion with your tea (eww). On St. Agnes' Day, eat a salted egg. These two dates and edibles increase your chances of incubating an insightful or prophetic dream (or minimally indigestion).
On New Year's Eve put an ivy leaf under your pillow, on New Year's Day, vervain and yarrow. On St. Agnes' Eve or Valentine's Day put two bay leaves sprinkled with rose water under your pillow. These actions evoke prophetic dreams.
You might also invoke the Moon's aid by looking over your right shoulder. Say "New Moon, tell me please, who my love is fated to be." Go to bed without speaking another word and dreams of the future will come to you. Or you can wait for the first new moon of a New Year and repeat the following incantation three times while looking at the moon, "New Moon, let me see, who my love shall finally be." You will have prophetic dreams that night.
While not every dream will contain symbolic content about your love life, if this subject lies heavy on your mind, the chance of insights appearing in a dream increase. Ancient and modern dream keys contain literally hundreds of images and interpretations specific to love in all its forms. Some examples follow here. As you read them, please bear in mind that dream interpretation is an imperfect art. You are unique, and what your dreams mean to you is specific to you. Use this list to spur more personalized insights.
And remember to write your dreams in a notebook or record them on tape so you can reflect upon them later.
Dream Interpretations on Love
- Acorn (shaking from a tree): A successful relationship.
- Air (cold): A similarly cold domestic relationship.
- Angels: A disturbing influence in a relationship or a scandal in love.

- Flute (playing): A lover with charm and charisma.
- Ivy (clinging): A happy rendezvous.
- Knot (tied) A nagging lover or friend.

This is a very abbreviated list of potential love portents in your dreams. Visit our sister site BuildingBeautifulSouls.com if you'd like an in-depth look at Dream Interpretation.
Pyromancy Divination for Love
"Before you leave, the fortune teller reminds you that the future is never set in stone."
– Erin Morgenstern
Fire symbolizes love and passion. Consequently, the ancient art of pyromancy is a good vehicle for love divination. Begin with a fire made from either cedar, juniper, or sandalwood chips. When you ignite the fire, watch to see what happens. The behavior of the flames indicates your answer to your question as follows:
- Blue Flames: A relationship that undergoes spiritual or emotional storms.
- Bright Flames: A relationship filled with healthy passion.
- Burning with Two Points: A balanced relationship in which both parties are independent.
- Burning with Three Points: A relationship vexed by a rival or through external interests, or one that requires the help of friends to get started.
- Catching Fire After a Delay: A relationship that requires some nurturing and diligence to be successful.
- Clear, Even flames: A pure, even-tempered relationship.
- Heart-Shaped Flame: A relationship filled with mutual love.
- Not Catching Fire: A lack of interest or passion.
- One-Sided Fire: A relationship that is imbalanced.
- Pale Flames: A relationship that may prove unhealthy.
- Ring-Shaped Fire: A relationship that leads to marriage.
- Rising Up, then Fading Quickly: A relationship that begins with intense passion but burns itself out.
- Slow-Burning: A relationship where taking your time results in long-term devotion.
- Smoke without any Fire: A relationship filled with illusions, falsehood, and insecurity.
- Smoldering with lots of Smoke: A relationship in which one partner puts on facades, causing strife.
- Sparks: A relationship with all the right kindling, but which may undergo some problems from hot tempers.
- Spitting or Roaring: A relationship filled with arguments as well as fiery passion.
If you don't have the suggested woods available, toss an herb, flower, or some incense on the fire instead. Choose the plant or incense according to your question and observe likewise.
As the wood burns down, observe the smoke's movements. They too have messages:
- Hovers around the flame-an ominous sign indicating a possessive lover or mate
- Rises Straight Up: A good sign telling you to move ahead with confidence; knowing that the divine sees your needs.
- Rises to the Right: A sign that love's path should be smooth.
- Rises to the Left: A warning to proceed with caution, or stop and wait for better timing.
- Rises, then Divides: A good start, but watch the road- it could be bumpy.
Love Divination and Moon Lore
"The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it's a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections."
― Tahereh Mafi
The moon is used in all types of magic. The waxing moon represents growth, the full moon fulfillment, fertility and maturity, and the waning moon closure. Esoteric traditions link the moon with the feminine intuitive instinct. This, combined with the romantic associations of moonlight, makes the moon the perfect agent for spells and predictions about love.
For example, planning a first date under a waxing to full moon gives the relationship a better chance of being happy than one begun under a waning moon. According to ancient traditions, crescent moons increase personal beauty and endow the person with enough energy to maintain a healthy relationship. The full moon of May improves the fertility of a relationship and empowers relationship spells. The June full energizes any type of relationship magic. Finally the full Hunter's Moon of October aids in the search for a life mate.
You can combine these lunar events with oracular efforts for the greatest effect. For example, to know when you will meet someone special, or get married, hold a silk square over a body of water with the full moon of October behind you. The number of reflections seen through the scarf indicates the number of months you must wait. This is a type of scrying, from an old English tradition.
When you do meet a potential mate, pay attention to the moon sign at that moment. It will predict the course of that relationship, and the most positive actions you can take with that person. This particular form of sign and omen interpretation is a part of Astrology that can also be utilized effectively in timing love spells and any divinatory efforts:
- Moon in Aries: Take a chance! An Aries moon enhances spells that help you make a choice. You can divine the answers to questions that will influence your decision.
- Moon in Taurus: Be cautious. This is a bad time for drastic changes. A Taurus moon enhances spells that deepen devotion. Divine the answers to questions that focus on a relationship's emotional, monetary, or spiritual security.
- Moon in Gemini: Accentuate playfulness and communication. A Gemini moon enhances spells to rein in a fickle lover. Divine the answers to questions that focus on a mate's fidelity and trustworthiness.
- Moon in Cancer: Keep emotions in balance. A Cancer moon enhances spells to increase understanding. Divine the answers to questions where you need improved insight and perspective.
- Moon in Leo: Socialize and make a good impression. A propitious time for a relationship to start. A Leo moon enhances spells designed for glamoury. Divine the answers to questions that determine if a certain person is interested or elsewhere committed.
- Moon in Virgo: Make an intellectual connection. A Virgo moon enhances spells designed to encourage a healthy relationship. Divine the answers to questions about when and where a good relationship will begin, or if a present relationship will improve.
- Moon in Libra: Emphasize friendship and mutual creative interests. A Libra moon enhances spells designed to improve personal charm. Divine the answers to questions of friendship.
- Moon in Scorpio: Focus on family, but avoid arguments. A Scorpio moon enhances spells designed to augment sensitivity between people. Divine the answers to questions about the home, domesticity, or matters of communication.
- Moon in Sagittarius: Be honest and thoughtful; break out of outmoded routines. A Sagittarius moon enhances spells designed for the adventurous spirit. Divine the answers to questions in which you need to hear the whole truth.

It was made by Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount.
Paige has been kidnapped! She has been taken to Dr. Lamb's lair. Dr. Lamb is about to do an experiment on her.
Manny, Rufus, and Kat are on their way to finding the lair. Kat is walking Rufus (as a dog) and Manny is not far behind.
Outside the hideout, Rufus transforms back, and they prepare to storm in and rescue their friend. Once they are inside, they sneak past Dr. Lamb, who is in a side room, analyzing a vial, but they can't find Paige. There was a pig though. Rufus insists this is the right place, she was here. So they get ready to confront Dr. Lamb.
They approach him from behind, grab the vial, knock him to the floor, and tie him up. Looks real professional. They ask about Paige.
"Is that the girl? You are too late! You young lady are holding the part of her that made her human! When I heard about these amulets you are wearing, I had a theory. Mr. S, you know him, he told me all about you, he hired me to test my theory, and it is a success! It worked! Much like your amulets which give you humanity, the rest of us have something like that in liquid form in our blood. With science today, I have been able to extract it!! Mr. S will want this so that he can be human permanently. It was a very difficult process to do, but all Mr. S will need to do is drink it and he will be a human. Your friend is now just a pig!"
Manny and the others are surprised to hear that Paige, their friend has been transformed into the pig they saw earlier. Kat has an idea though. She asks if they can just give the vial to her. Now it is Dr. Lamb who looks surprised. Kat reminds him that he is tied up and they have the vial. Manny and Kat transfer the liquid into a bowl. Manny brings it to Paige. Paige drinks it up.

Start the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love
The following is an excerpt from a book rather modestly titled 'The Most Direct Means To Eternal Bliss'.
Despite some tendency towards grandiosity, this book is actually pretty amazing in my opinion. I think it was written as a labour of love and has been uploaded to the internet for free viewing by the author here. You can also buy a hard copy here which contains a single extra chapter (which was written later).
Be warned, this book and its tone may not be for everyone. It is radical, focused, in some ways quite narrow, and not at all modest. However the advice dispensed is actually very good in the context in which it was written and the teachings are made extremely clear. The initial chapters alone are worth the purchase price in my opinion (plus it's free online anyway)
Below is Chapter 12, blessings to you all ❤

People Of Faith, p. 300
We who have traveled a path through agnosticism or atheism beg you to lay aside prejudice, even against organized religion. We have learned that, whatever the human frailties of various faiths may be, those faiths have given purpose and direction to millions. People of faith have a rational idea of what life is all about.
Actually, we used to have no reasonable conception whatever. We used to amuse ourselves by cynically dissecting spiritual beliefs and practices, when we might have seen that many spiritually-minded persons of all races, colors, and creeds were demonstrating a degree of stability, happiness, and usefulness that we should have sought for ourselves.

In 2001, when Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs, shattering the season record, there were many wondering whether he had some hidden advantage that they couldn't see. Many major league players, however, thought Bonds had an advantage that they could see. It was in his hands: a maple baseball bat.
For half a century before Bonds's record-breaking year, bats made from ash had been the standard in professional baseball. But after Bonds's record-setting run, there was a rush to the harder wood of maple.
And with that transition came a dangerous side effect. The maple bats were much more likely to suffer a "multi-piece break," where the barrel completely separates from the handle.
Last week at Fenway Park, just such a break seriously injured Tonya Carpenter, a 44-year-old woman from Paxton who sustained life-threatening injuries when the barrel of a broken maple bat went flying into the stands, striking her violently in the face. The gruesome incident, which was witnessed by her 8-year-old son and brought a hush to the ballpark, has renewed calls for tougher restrictions on maple bats, or outright bans.
Speaking with reporters before the Major League Baseball draft Monday, commissioner Rob Manfred addressed the injuries to Carpenter and the issue of bat safety.
"You have to react strongly to an incident like this," said Manfred, promising that the league would reevaluate where it stood on the issue of safety. Manfred said that discussion would have to occur between the leagues, the teams, and the Players Association.
"I think it's important not to lose sight of the fact that we have taken important steps in this area," Manfred said. "Bat safety is much improved from where it was a few years ago. We've spent a lot of time, money, and effort to make sure our bats are safer and we have less accidents."
In 2008, after a rash of multi-piece breaks and several high-profile incidents, the league convened a team of academics to study the problem. After reviewing thousands of broken bats, they concluded that maple bats were three times more likely than ash to break into multiple pieces, and attributed it to issues with the slope of the grain used in the manufacturing process, and ruptures caused by excessive bending.
"It was really an issue of the straightness of the grain, not the species of wood," said Roland Hernandez, a wood scientist and bat manufacturer who was part of the team that studied the issue. "If the bat has straight grain, it should stay in one piece."
Hernandez said the problem is that the fine grain of maple makes it difficult to see whether it's straight, compared with ash, where the rings are easily visible.
As a result of the study, the league instituted a host of new bat regulations for the 2009 season aimed at addressing the straightness of the grain, issuing a series of regulations that focused on manufacturing and inspection. The following year, the league decreased the maximum diameter allowed on bat barrels and increased the minimum diameter of bat handles.
The changes have slowed the breakage — a Major League Baseball spokesperson said multi-piece bat failures are down by approximately 50 percent since the start of 2009 — but have not eliminated the dangers they create for players and fans.
In 2010, Tyler Colvin of the Chicago Cubs was on third base when a teammate shattered his maple bat as he ripped a double down the line. As Colvin ran toward home, a shard from the bat penetrated his chest wall, sending him to the hospital for several days.
The horrible incident at Fenway Park last week may have reignited debate about the dangers of maple bats, but there are many who have long railed against them.
Mark Grace, a former slick-hitting first baseman who is now an assistant hitting coach with the Arizona Diamondbacks, ranted about them for years when he was the Diamondbacks' broadcaster.
"I've been saying all along that we've got to find a way to outlaw maple bats. They're too dangerous," Grace told the Arizona Republic this week, adding that he hated the fact that it took a tragedy to bring the issue to the forefront. "Just use ash bats. Everybody use the same kind of bat and it'll be fair."
Jason Rosenberg, who covers the Yankees for the blog "It's About the Money, Stupid," is another who has been outspoken about the dangers of maple bats, and has criticized MLB for ignoring potential protections such as a polymer film that wraps around the bat to keep the barrel and handle in place should it suffer a failure.
That technique and others have been tested at UMass-Lowell's Baseball Research Center, whose director, professor James A. Sherwood, is considered an expert on the issue of broken bats. Sherwood, who was a member of the expert panel that studied maple bats in 2008, was unavailable to be interviewed by the Globe. A university spokesperson said he was away on a personal matter.
Ultimately, the incident at Fenway has raised old questions about safety for fans in a sport in which objects regularly fly into the crowd. During an average game, about 15 foul balls are hit into the stands at Fenway, according to the website foulballz.com. (John Henry, the principal owner of the Red Sox, also owns the Globe.)
Team owners are legally protected by a law known as the "Baseball Rule," which absolves them of responsibility for injuries that result from foul balls or shattered bats, as long as netted or screened seats are in place for a reasonable number of spectators.
The question now is whether fans are reasonably protected.
"This incident has opened up a can of worms, and was terribly unfortunate, but it's been quiet since 2009 when the new grading rules were implemented," said Hernandez, the wood scientist. "But we're talking about a wood product getting stressed by a baseball hitting the bat, and it will always have the potential to break.
"There are a lot of people screaming about maple, but it's not about the species, it's about the properties of the wood."

The world's oceans are the motor of Ecosystem Earth, and yet we know relatively little about them. The European earth observation satellite Sentinel-3A is supposed to change that. Yesterday, on 16 February 2016, Sentinel-3A was successfully launched at 18.57 Central European Time from the Russian space centre in Plesetsk. Some of the data collected by this satellite will be processed and archived at EOC. On behalf of ESA, DFD operates a Sentinel-3 Processing and Archiving Centre (PAC).
Sentinel-3 is designed to aid understanding of global phenomena like El Niño, improve climate models, monitor the condition of the oceans and vegetation on land, and make it possible to better manage our resources by providing up-to-date status messages. Sentinel-3A is the third satellite in a series of six satellite families planned for the Copernicus programme, which is run by the European Union (EU) and ESA.
From its orbit at an altitude of 815 kilometres the satellite can supply data about the ocean and land surfaces continuously for large areas, thanks to its wide swath width. Carrying four earth observation sensors, Sentinel-3 is the most elaborate satellite in the Copernicus programme. The SLSTR instrument (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) measures, accurate to a third of a degree centigrade, the temperature of the ocean and the land surface and can also detect high temperature events on land such as forest fires. OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) scans the earth in 21 wavelengths in a range from visible light to near-infrared. It can see "colours" and distinguish "shades" that are invisible to the human eye, and thereby provide information about the condition of water bodies, the development of plants, and the aerosol content of the atmosphere. SRAL (SENTINEL-3 Ku/C Radar Altimeter) uses two radar frequencies to ascertain the heights of oceans and waves, wind speeds, and the heights of sea ice and ice fields. MWR (MicroWave Radiometer) records atmospheric values like water vapour content, which makes it possible to remove from the acquired measurements the effects of the atmosphere.
Sentinel-3A carries on the work of earlier satellites – especially the ESA satellite ENVISAT, which was taken out of operation in 2012. However, the instruments on Sentinel-3A have better spectral resolution, higher temporal resolution, and they measure atmospheric parameters more precisely. Sentinel-3 is designed to monitor Earth for seven years, although its service life might extend up to 12 years under favourable conditions. The structurally similar Sentinel-3B satellite is planned for launch in 2017. It will orbit Earth on an identical but time-delayed polar orbit. This doubles the recording capacity and makes it possible for this pair of satellites to provide global coverage daily or every two days, depending on the instrument.
Three Processing and Archiving Centres (PACs) process the data from the Sentinel-3 mission. DFD in Oberpfaffenhofen is the PAC for the data collected by the OLCI instrument. The measurements acquired at Norway's Svalbard (Spitzbergen) receiving station undergo two-stage processing in Oberpfaffenhofen to yield value-added products. These will be stored in a Long-Term Archive (LTA) and made available to users worldwide for several years.
The EOC staff was already at work just a few days after the launch of the satellite. At the latest, one half year after the start of the mission the data will be available to the general public on a European platform. Each year, up to 300 terabytes of OLCI data will accumulate. DFD is not only a Processing and Archiving Centre for Sentinel-3, but also for the Sentinel-1 mission. Just a few days ago, after only 14 months, the management of the first petabyte (one million gigabytes) of data from the Sentinel-1 mission could be celebrated. Enormous amounts of data have to be processed, stored and maintained long-term. The next mission, Sentinel-5P, is to follow shortly, and DFD will not only have responsibility for a PAC, but also for data acquisition.

Traditional baking depends on wheat gluten for flavor and consistency. So how can you make a gluten-free version of these foods without sacrificing quality?
While some wheat-based recipes cannot be precisely duplicated, most of the time you will be able to come up with a gluten-free alternative that is just as satisfying and delicious as its glutenous counterpart.
These 11 tips and tricks will help you coax the best results out of your gluten-free baking adventures.
- Thoroughly beat your eggs.
Eggs are essential for your gluten-free baked goods because they bring a structure into the mix that can maintain moisture and encourage lift. To get the maximum effect, add some air to your eggs before combining them with your batter by beating them thoroughly.
- Add baking powder.
When substituting a non-gluten flour mix for the traditional flour, it's important to add ingredients that help your baked goods rise. Baking powder is an excellent leavener that will bring your baking to new heights. Add about 8 grams, or 2 teaspoons, of baking powder per cup of your gluten-free flour mixture.
Most baking powders are made with corn and are, therefore, gluten-free. However, you might occasionally find one made with wheat starch. Be sure to read the label.
- Add gums.
Most gluten-free recipes will include xanthan gum or guar gum. These ingredients mimic the behavior of gluten by creating a chewier texture. Start with about 2 grams of guar gum or 4 grams of xanthan gum per cup of flour for sweet products like cookies and cake. You can use nearly twice as much when baking bread.
Be careful of using too much, however, because it can cause the result to be too gummy.
- Add bubbles.
Using carbonated water instead of regular water in just about any gluten-free baking recipe is an excellent trick that will immediately improve your finished product. That is because those lovely air bubbles provide lift and structure to your creation.
- Add protein with eggs.
When converting a traditional recipe into one that is gluten-free, substitute some of the water with beaten eggs. That will give your recipe extra protein, which helps hold moisture and will create a more pleasing texture.
- Bring ingredients to room temperature.
Even in traditional baking, it's helpful to start with ingredients that are not too hot or too cold. That is especially important in gluten-free baking where the fragile chemistry involved can increase the risk of mishap. Just take your ingredients out of the refrigerator or freezer and let them come to room temperature before using them.
- Weigh your ingredients.
Baking can be entirely scientific, and your ingredient ratios matter even more when baking without gluten. Unfortunately, measuring cups can let you down because flour and other dry ingredients may compress. The best way to be sure you are using the proper amount is to weigh it on a kitchen scale.
- Proof your yeast.
Getting gluten-free dough to rise correctly can be tricky, and the yeast is often the problem. Make sure your yeast is doing its job by proofing it before you add it to your recipe. You can do this by heating the water or milk in your recipe to about 110 degrees. Add the yeast and about a teaspoon of sugar. After about five minutes, you should have a bubbly mixture that smells like baking bread. If that's the case, your yeast is good and ready to add to the recipe with the liquid.
- Use parchment paper.
Gluten-free dough is sticky. Because it can be challenging to work with, you'll save yourself a lot of frustration if you bake on parchment paper.
- Rise only once.
You can easily ruin gluten-free dough by punching it down after it has risen. Shape your dough before it rises, and let it rise once in a warm place. Resist the urge to mess with it again after that.
- Cool on a wire rack.
Gluten-free products need to cool quickly and evenly to avoid developing a gummy texture, so don't let your precious creation cool in the pan. Instead, transfer it to a wire rack where it will get maximum airflow.
Baking without gluten can be a challenge, but there are many ways of improving your chances of an excellent result. Use these 11 tips when you are baking gluten-free bread and treats, and you will find yourself successfully creating baked goods that everyone will enjoy.

Who'd have thought it? Jeremy Corbyn could shape Britain's destiny in Europe
It's a fair bet that never, ever did the British establishment imagine that one day it would be resting its hopes on Jeremy Corbyn. For years the likes of David Cameron, George Osborne, the governor of the Bank of England, the heads of most FTSE companies and the masters of the City of London – to say nothing of Peter Mandelson and the entire New Labour aristocracy – would either have mocked Corbyn or struggled to place his name.

S. Korea, US hold 2nd day of talks on defense cost sharing
S. Korea, US hold 2nd day of talks on defense cost sharing
South Korea and the United States held a second day of talks on sharing the cost of stationing American troops here on Wednesday as US President Donald Trump renewed calls for allies to pay their "fair share."
The two sides launched the negotiations on Tuesday to renew the Special Measures Agreement on determining how much Seoul should pay for stationing some 28,500 US soldiers in the country.
The current deal is set to expire on Dec. 31.
During the first day of talks, the two sides exchanged their basic stances, officials said without providing details. The talks were led by Chang Won-sam, interim chief negotiator for South Korea, and his American counterpart, James Trump has long demanded Seoul pay more for the US troop presence, highlighting his position again during his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday (US time).
"We are also revitalizing our alliances by making it very clear that all of our partners are expected to pay their fair share of the tremendous defense burden which the United States has borne in the past," Trump said.
The defense cost-sharing issue was also discussed when South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Trump held summit talks on the sidelines of the UN gathering on Monday.
Moon stressed that the cost should come at a "fair and reasonable" level.
Under this year's SMA, signed in February and valid until Dec. 31, South Korea agreed to pay 1.04 trillion won ($868 million), an increase of 8.2 percent from the previous year.
Since 1991, Seoul has shouldered partial costs under the SMA -- for Korean civilians hired by the USFK, the construction of military facilities to maintain the allies' readiness and other forms of support.

This stylish men's wedding ring features two parallel grooves that run all the way around the band, with contrasting finishes highlighting the design details. It was created for a couple from Edmonds, WA, for whom we also made a women's engagement ring and wedding band. This is a classic design that can be adapted to suit a wide variety of personal tastes, and our team is ready to work with you to help you make it your own. Design Your Own Wedding Ring
Band Design
The main features of this ring are the grooves, which run all the way around the band parallel to each other. This creates a wider center section, with modest rails on both outside edges. The entire band is made of platinum, and it's 9mm wide, which is on the larger side for a men's wedding ring.
When deciding on the width you'd like for your piece, it can be helpful to try on bands of varying widths to get a sense of what feels best to you. Our team is always available in our Bellevue, WA showroom to let you view examples of various styles and sizes so you can determine which is the best fit for your personal style.
Contrasting Finishes
Although this ring is all one color, we utilized contrasting finishes specified by the client to highlight the separation between the sections. The rails received a high polish, while the center section is brushed. As a finishing touch, the interior surface of the rails is sandblasted, giving them a slightly different matte texture than the center and definitively separating them from the rails.
Of course, these finishes can be rearranged and adjusted as well to help you make this design more your own. For instance, you could use a brushed finish on both the rails and center, with the high polish only on the interior of the grooves. Or you could add a hammered texture to the center section with either a polished or brushed finish on top to introduce another layer of complexity into the design.

The local Bar Association on Saturday said that no advocate would appear for the accused in the minor girl's murder case in the court.
Anoop Kaushik, general secretary, Aligarh Bar Association, told ANI: "We stand with the family of the minor girl who was murdered in Tappal. No advocate will appear for the accused. We will not allow any advocate from outside to fight the case."
He said that all the sections of the legal community here have extended their support to them. "The accused should be sentenced to death because the incident was appalling and barbarous," he said.
Kailash Babu Gupta, president of Aligarh Bar Association, said: "This is a very serious case. The accused should be punished without any mercy. We are also planning to move the case to a fast track court."
Two-a-half-year old girl strangled to death with her eyes gouged out and hands broken in Aligarh over a dispute the accused --Zahid -- had with the minor's father.
Two accused -- Zahid and Aslam -- have been arrested in this regard.
A postmortem examination was conducted under the supervision of a team three doctors confirmed that she was strangulated but ruled out the possibility of rape.

Monster party
Turbulent times called for extreme measures…
My species was endangered now
(The final thinking primates),
For most had gave their souls away
In what was the end of days,
When nobody planned for the future
For nobody thought it would come,
We all just believed the newspaper
And the newspaper just made us all dumb.
We thought we were finding some answers
But instead were fighting the truth.
We fought for another man's reasons
But instead we just gave him our youth.
What happened?
What brought us there?
Likable survivors were few:
If they were kind they were too good to be true.
If they were liars you couldn't trust what they'd do.
If they were blind then they were probably you.
Did this apocalypse make monsters of men
Or merely expose what was already there?
The dust settled on our double-glazed mask.
We let Love remain still and Rage asked
"Is it safe to trust
Or is hate a must
In this dusty desert wasteland?"
That wasteland we called home
When nobody planned for the present
For nobody thought it would come,
When we all just believed our feed-readers
And the internet made us all dumb…
And the demons all know what is coming
So they soak up their last days in the sun,
For they know in the midst
Of the Apocalypse
That the Lord has the victory won.

ALEXANDER COUNTY, NC (August 21, 2019) – Sewer was the main topic of discussion at a joint meeting between the Alexander County Board of Commissioners and the Taylorsville Town Council on Monday, August 19th. The joint meeting was held at the end of the regular commission meeting.
Alexander County Manager Rick French said the county and town have worked successfully together on numerous sewer projects in the past. However, he expressed concern about the upcoming shell building project in the Alexander Industrial Park, for which sewer infrastructure is estimated to cost at least $400,000. French asked if the town could help with the cost and/or share revenues.
French noted that the county has water and sewer agreements with the City of Hickory in other areas of the county, with the majority of the sewer being in Bethlehem. The county receives 50 percent of water revenues and a growing portion of sewer revenues, while the county pays 100 percent of the infrastructure costs. Hickory provides 100 percent of the maintenance on their portions of the water and sewer system.
Taylorsville Town Manager David Odom said the county and town have agreements dating back to the 1990s, and he hopes to continue the partnership to provide sewer service for county projects. He said the town's wastewater treatment plant was constructed in 1955, with one lift station. Today, the plant has 33 lift stations and a capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day. The plant is currently operating at less than 40 percent capacity, with 350,000 to 400,000 gallons of wastewater being treated daily.
Commissioner Ryan Mayberry said the county and town need to reach an agreement that is fair to both sides and provides guidance for future projects.
Both boards agreed that County Manager French and Town Manager Odom should meet in the near future to discuss options.
"This is a big step in collaboration between the town and the county. What's good for one is good for the other," said Dr. Jeff Peal, Chairman of the Alexander County Board of Commissioners. "Together, we can build a vision and see our wonderful community flourish. We just want to see how we can move forward in a win-win situation."
In other business:
• Commissioners held a public hearing to consider the adoption of the Alexander County Historic Preservation Design Review Guidelines proposed by the county's Historic Preservation Committee (HPC). HPC Vice-Chairperson Lee Sharpe presented the proposed design review guidelines to commissioners. There was no public comment for or against the proposed document. Commissioners unanimously approved the guidelines, with the following additions: 1) all proposed historic landmark or district nominations must be approved by commissioners prior to being nominated for designation on the National Register of Historic Places, and 2) proposed historic districts must have 100 percent approval of the property owners before the recommended district may be proposed to commissioners. The guidelines represent the key principles of preservation including maintaining, repairing, replacing, and other treatments to designated historic properties. Design review guidelines provide a basis for making fair decisions, consistency in design review, incentives for investment, property value enhancement, and a tool for educating the public on the value of preserving our historic heritage.
• Commissioners heard a report from Rocky Face Park Director, Alisha Stamey, who presented an update on park planning. Stamey said the county is working with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments (WPCOG) to develop a countywide parks and recreation plan as well as a site-specific plan for Dusty Ridge Park. She encouraged the public to complete the county's parks survey (www.alexandercountync.gov/survey) to provide input on current parks as well as future amenities. As part of the public outreach campaign, a series of public meetings have been scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on August 29th at Bethlehem Park (187 Bethlehem Park Lane), September 3rd at Alexander County Administration Downstairs Conference Room (621 Liledoun Road), September 10th at Stony Point Branch Library (431 Ruritan Park Road), September 12th at Dusty Ridge Park (360 Dusty Ridge Access Road), and October 3rd at Rocky Face Park (3645 Rocky Face Church Road). Stamey said the countywide parks plan should be complete by December, which will then allow the county to begin work on a North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant (NCPARTF).
• Commissioners heard a report from Carolina Land & Lakes Resource Conservation and Development. Jack Simms, who was recently appointed to the Carolina Land & Lakes Board of Directors, presented an update on the group's activity since joining the board in April and introduced executive director Melissa Patton. Patton said the organization is working with the NC Forest Service on determining the best location for a wood pellet mill, which would produce wood pellets to be used as a heat/energy source (replacing propane) for poultry houses. Some believe that Alexander County is the ideal location for the facility, which would be an investment of approximately $5 million. Carolina Land & Lakes is currently looking for grant funding from the US Forest Service and the US Department of Agriculture. Simms is researching potential sites in Alexander County. In addition, the organization is planning a "FireWise" workshop on October 7th at Rocky Face Park to educate the public on how to prepare for wildfires.
• Commissioners appointed Judy Caywood, Donny Teague, and Gerald Davis to the Alexander County ABC Board.
The next meeting of the Alexander County Board of Commissioners is scheduled for Monday, September 9th at 6:00 p.m. in room #103 at the CVCC Alexander Center for Education, located at 345 Industrial Boulevard in Taylorsville. The Alexander County Consolidated Human Services Board will meet after the commission meeting.
Meetings of the Alexander County Board of Commissioners are recorded and available for viewing on the county's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/alexandercountync. The meetings may also be viewed on the Alexander County Government Channel on Spectrum channel 192.

My new body of work has been inspired by two interests; wind powered kinetic sculpture and the architectural beauty inherent in insects, birds and plants. The materials I employ, recycled roofing copper and steel from fabricators scrap piles, and a background in traditional smithing & basketry inform and guide my approach to my work. A visual understanding of the natural world can only be revealed, when time is devoted to details. As in nature, my sculptures outlines & shadows are often first to grab a viewer's attention.

Chef Huda Dishes on Kwanzaa & More
Chef Huda is a culinary competitor who rises to the top!
The multi-talented, award-winning executive chef and owner of the Washington, DC-based company "Pretty & Delicious"™ has proven to the world she is fierce in every manner and made Food Network history by winning the largest personal prize earnings to date of any contestant–a cool $23,900, on the network's most diehard show Cutthroat Kitchen.
The University of Maryland, College Park and Le Cordon Bleu graduate is a much sought after writer and TV personality who grew up in an organic household and today specializes in healthy "comfort-food." Currently serving as an ambassador for the American Heart Association and working with The CW Network's "Healthy DC" Campaign, Huda's lifelong mission is getting getting people to establish a positive relationship with food to ensure a long lasting life.
Just in time for one of the world's most beloved holidays, America's newest culinary darling took time to chat with JET about the significance of her historical Cutthroat Kitchen victory, why women chefs are needed and why Kwanzaa means so much, not only her, but our community as a whole.
JET: What was going through your mind when you were announced the winner of Cutthroat Kitchen?
Chef Huda: Amazing! It was such a moment for me. As a fan of the show being able to beat out the "best of the best" felt amazing! What you don't get to see is everyone being mad scientists in the back while the show is going on. It is hard yet fun work and who knew S'mores were so difficult to make. But nonetheless, it was such a blessing!
JET: Who are some of your major culinary influences?
CH: My mother, of course, as well as grandmother, aunt, and chefs B. Smith and Wolfgang Puck
JET: Why is healthy cooking so important?
CH: After dealing with some emotional "eating" battles, I discovered how to eat healthy and wanted to share my knowledge since my childhood was spent eating organic. My personal goal is to change lives and food is one of the most easiest ways to connect with people.
JET: Besides Christmas, another December holiday we celebrate is Kwanzaa. What does Kwanzaa mean to you?
CH: Kwanzaa means community, culture and family. It is a time to build, break bread and do so much good during this important holiday.
JET: How challenging is is to balance being Black and female in the culinary world?
CH: Historically, women have excelled in almost every field and yet we are often underestimated. I do not consider it a disadvantage and, honestly, tend not to think about it too much. Being Black and a woman makes me that much more unique in this industry. My goal is to inspire the next generation of little girls to become the baddest chefs in the room!

Place a large pot over medium-high heat then add the olive oil. Add in the onions, bell peppers, thyme and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the carrots, celery, collards, kale, black-eyed peas, red pepper flakes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat and simmer 20 – 25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove thyme sprigs before serving. Once your soup is perfect remove from heat. Enjoy!
What You Need
2 cup sweet potato – mashed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup candied pecans
Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream – whipped
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Let's Make something Pretty and Delicious™.
In a large bowl combine the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon.
In a separate cold bowl pour in heavy cream and sugar. Whisk until the cream forms soft peaks*. Set aside about a half cup of whipped cream to top your mousse. With the remaining whipped cream, gently fold in the sweet potato mixture.
*Chef Huda Tip: A Soft Peak is when the whipped cream becomes firm and is able to stand up on top of the whisk.
Spoon Sweet Potato Mousse into desired serving dish and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. Before serving top with whipped cream and pecans. Enjoy!

This lovely boy has been on rather an adventure. He was brought into our clinic road by a concerned client who had noticed him hanging around her area for two weeks and appearing very hungry.
We scanned him and were thrilled to discover he had a microchip (we always are!) and this enabled us to contact his owner straightaway.
She had last seen him on 31st March and had given up all hope of him returning to the family home and was convinced he must have died.
She was very emotional to hear he was safe and well.
He lives in Beckenham and had somehow managed to get all the way to Croydon over the period he was missing!
They were delighted to be reunited together and it was all because he was microchipped.
He is a really lovely cat, pictured here with our Vet Frankie who had a quick cuddle whilst he waited to be collected.
