We had a great night in Lander even if the beer does have a tendency to go to your head a bit when you are at 6000'.
We were awake again at 06:00 and did the standard prep for the flight. The only change being that we filed the plan from our room since AT&T doesn't have any coverage in Lander so our cell phones didn't work.
We gassed up the mighty Buick crew car and returned to preflight the plane. I needed to get rid of some rubbish and make a pit stop so I went into the tiny terminal. The door had a sign saying to renter the Tarmac the code was 3522. As I entered I tried the handle.. It was free so I didn't take too much notice. Oops. So obviously when I went to leave I was stuck. Hmm.. Er 6722.. No.. Er.. Bugger. Forgot! So I frantically waved out to Derwood in the hope he would look over. Fortunately it didn't take long before he did so he came and rescued me. What a dufus!
07:30 and we were rolling down Lander's runway 03. Another high altitude takeoff so I just gently let it lift itself off and climb very slowly while it gathered energy. The density altitude was 7000'. Interesting stuff.
Anyhow, in moments we were heading West again and making a slow climb to 10500. Another issue we are noticing are highish Cylinder Head Temperatures here. I like to climb it very slowly with an indicated airspeed of about 120knots. It keeps the temps down and you make reasonable forward progress while having a good visibility over the snout. It seems to work out well. The climb rate isn't high like,that but we don't need it either.
The flight up the valley toward Dubois was very pretty with some terrific colours in the rocks and soils.
We slowly climbed the little machine up to 10500', the highest it's ever been. The granite was stretching skyward so ten five was about as low as we could get over the rock. The top or the saddles we flew over were quite remarkable in that while it was high, it looked like fairly flat land with trees, grass and streams.
No sooner than we got to 10500' and we were on our way back down again in order to join the circuit at 7600' without being at warp factor 10. The controller at Jackson seems perplexed that the foreign registered aircraft was so small. I guess he's used to a lot of executive jet traffic.
After touch down we were guided into a park with all the big money. Obviously Jackson Hole is popular with the rich. We can always imagine I guess.
The FBO staff were great but since we aren't really used to the idea, and I still don't really understand it, so we did most of the 'putting the aircraft to bed' ourselves. The staff just chatted and gave us a lift to the FBO building.
We signed up with the FBO and walked up to the terminal to get our car.
The bartender from the night before had given us a great tip for a breakfast spot so we headed that way. What a neat spot. A great view of the Tetons while eating pancakes. Nice!
We went for a bit of a drive after that to find our hotel, even though it was too early to check in then when for a look at Jackson town.
What a cool little town.mit is very much Cowboy country with wooden sidewalks and all the old style buildings. The more modern buildings are more of an alpine style of log and stone. It's a really cool little town. It's a shame they let cars through it really as I think it would be awesome if they closed it out for vehicles. The amount of traffic through there is very high and it's kind of a shame. Still, it's fun.
The scenery is certainly very beautiful. What I say next is not meant in any way to detract from this but is more of a description for NZ bound readers. The feel is a lot like the Southern Alps of New Zealand. One of the Peaks of the Tetons could easily be Mt Aspiring. While they are obviously taller, the basin elevation is higher also so it appears similar in height to Mt Aspiring.
One river running through the valley could easily be the Kawarau River. The area is a lot bigger and has a more wide open feel to it. It is also a lot hotter than anywhere in the southern Alps would achieve.
I think we are both getting a bit punch drunk with all the sights and scenery that we have seen. It it a great primer for future holidays but I think we won't truly understand it all until we've had a chance to reflect in coming months.
I just heard from Alfred's daughter Sara, so we will catch up with her and her family tonight for a couple of drinks.
Tomorrow we are off to Provo for a night. I'm not really sure what to expect. It was plucked out of nowhere as just being kind of in the right place for where we need to go. Fingers crossed.


text: One Minute Briefs (5 April 2019) This week, the National Autistic Society ran a competition with content community One Minute Briefs to celebrate World Autism Awareness Week. As part of this, aspiring creatives and content creators were provided with a brief about our charity and autism, and then asked to tweet their entries. The winner was decided by a panel of employees from our charity, and they will win some National Autistic Society merchandise and an Amazon voucher. It was great to see some great ideas to raise awareness for autism this week. Although some of the ideas weren't quite how we would talk about autism, it was an excellent opportunity to get the creative community to learn about autism and the strengths and challenges autistic people face. Many of those who took part may have no connection to autism, and so this was the first time they'd supported autistic people in their work. Here are our favourites: You Aut'a Know by @HaydenNaughton 99 out of 100 by @ThatTinaGirl Respectrum by @CopyCharisma Autis-tick by @domdeluise8 Raise awareness, not an eyebrow by @CopyCharisma We hope you enjoyed them too, and a massive congratulations to Hayden Naughton for winning the competition!

JansZen Z-500
General information
The JansZen Z-500 is an electrostatic speaker. It is part of the Z series.
Veselinski Vladimir (April 2001): I am owner of pair of "old"s" Janszen Z-500 hybrid electrostatics . Each box has one small electrostatic panel situated in awooden horn and one bass unit measuring 10"(25,4 mm). I found my Janszen's in the Refurbishing section from picture from Joerg Baar. I want to send to Joerg Baar my best regards and to tell him that his Janszen"s are model Z-500 . I will send you more interesting information later.
Ray Deslauriers (April 2003): I found your page when looking for info on some Janszen speakers I was given by a couple about 12 years ago when I worked in an audio store. I sold them a new system for a parent and as they were about to leave they made some offhand comment about our surely not being interested in some really old gear that was being replaced, so they would probably toss it. I wound up with a Fisher X-202-C, FM-100T and a pair of Janszens.
I looked on your site for info on my model but could find none. Then I clicked on your unkown model picture and there they were. I can tell you they are model Z-500. At last your mystery is solved. They are still working and currently hooked up to a Fisher 400 receiver (another freebie rescued from the garbage. An installer picked it up at a customer and brought it in to throw out!). I hope this helps a bit.

I grew up within walking distance of a secluded stretch of shoreline. It rested on the other side of a golf course and we would often refer to our campsites by what hole it aligned with, like the 7th hole. The white sand stretched between two rocky points and little islands of Naupaka shrubs dotted the landscape. This was and remains a special place to many of us.
This was my sanctuary for a good part of my life. As a child I was always amazed at the amount of treasure along the shoreline. I could spend hours sifting through plastic bottles, fishing line, nets, drift wood and sea shells. I had no concept of pollution at that point. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was still in its infancy and so was I. At the north end of the beach were slabs of rock and reef that would expose themselves at low tide. Carved in the stone were the names of people come before, many of whom I recognized. There was always so much to be discovered here. There was always so much beauty.
Our lives are like this shoreline. It is expansive, it is beautiful, full of memories, experiences, and trash – yup, years and years of accumulated debris. As a teenager this place become an escape, a temporary respite from the war within my soul. I would always find myself called to her sandy, plastic filled shoreline, much like the Japanese fishing gear would. We had a lot in common. We were inherently beautiful creations, sometimes battered by winds, taunted by rising tides, an ever-changing glorious mess of pearly shells and plastic pieces. I would walk here, sit down and cry. The tide would rise within me and finally push its way out. I too was often overcome by salty water.
We are never, at any point in our existence- pristine. The sandy shores of our lives have both the beautiful remnants of those come before and the litter of a thousand stories. As children, we see everything as new, shiny and precious. The brown cowry shell and the plastic floaters. The limu(seaweed) and the fishing lines. As we grow and come to know the differences, we understand that somethings were meant to be found there and others weren't. Some were divinely created, and others were from the world. So, it became clear to me as a teenager that I had much more litter then I could bare. A giant mass had accumulated beyond the reef and made its way to my shoreline. It demanded my attention. I saw it as a child, I knew it was always there- on the horizon. I had hoped it would never come to close.
It was called an abomination.
I couldn't go near it, I tried to ignore it and I prayed and prayed and prayed that it would go away. But like the shoreline, I had no control over what would wash up over the course of time. So, we would sit together. The waves running along it's face and the tears running down mine. Why me? How can I hide something so big that it's weight influenced my speech, my gait and my heart? Everyone will see it. I don't even know how to explain it.
The younger children at church would sometimes ask me if I was a girl or a boy and it would piss me off. Obviously, I was a boy, I think. I liked Voltron and transformers. I played with G.I. Joe. But sometimes, I wanted a My Little Pony and when no one was looking I would take my cousin Maine into the bathroom and play with Barbies. I always knew it was there looming, but how dare anyone talk about it. I had friends who were boys and we did boy things. But I dreamt of other things. I liked blue and pink equally. I liked chasing chickens and catching butterflies. I had dreams of He-man rescuing me from danger. Dreams of being Gem and the holograms. But don't you dare call attention to it. I avoided preschoolers because they could see it, they would ask to much questions. They were always peering into my shoreline, looking at the abomination wanting to poke at it. Leave it alone and it will go away. Damn kids.
How could a piece of shoreline have so much in common with me? It is not even human. Yet, we would sit together. When my tears would subside, the waves were still rolling in. The wind was still howling amongst the brush. The littered shoreline remained, and the abomination still stood amongst the dunes of my life. However, another presence would always appear as my heart settled and my eyes dried. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it. I felt it in the wind as it touched my face. I felt its vibration over the roaring waves. It felt like glittering sunlight falling down my head, radiating out my arms and down my legs. I would forget the mess and the accumulated debris piles. I would see a humpback whale, a turtle or a passing cloud and think, Man! This is all so beautiful. I was so grateful to be here with you.
He knew. He knew it all along. He knew about the mass out at sea and how it would wash up on my shoreline. He knew who I was, more than I could have ever known. I would sit alone on the shore line, picking thru the pieces of litter that overwhelmed my life. However, I would always leave knowing that I was, in fact, never alone. You see, He was the one who brought the shoreline and I together. We had more in common than our inherent beauty. We had more in common than being a gathering place of the worlds waste. We were both created by Him. His footsteps graced the sands of both our existences. He walked them before I did. He planted the tree and laid the hinahina out as a carpet. He painted the cowry shell and poured out the sand. He fed the fish and gave light for the algae. He knew I would meet Him there, because I couldn't see him anywhere else. He used the shoreline to reveal his creative force and the love He had for me.
The abomination still stood and every time I couldn't bare it, I would come to the shoreline. It was my church. My place of worship. I had no control over the things I had to face, like whatever would grace my shoreline, but I became aware of His presence. Between that time and now, He invited people into my life and little by little they helped me unravel the mass – the abomination that came to my shore. I can't wait to tell you how it evolved. It has been many years since these moments, but the lessons still live in my spirit. I accumulated more debris, but I had so much help clearing it. There are more pearly shells and glittering sea glass now. Life is beautiful, it is a gift and no matter what washes up on our shoreline we are never alone. We were spoken into existence and we are inherently beautiful. Waves may crash, and the sea might rise but His love endures forever and ever. He loves you and so do I.

In the surreal world of overpaid celebrity soccer prima donnas Argentina's national team manager Diego Maradona has been hit, mugged, fleeced, done over and truly dusted by Italian tax police in the country's northern province of Bonzo : where the former SSC Napoli star is currently undergoing treatment at a health clinic for 'stress' after Argentina's hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup were shattered in a humiliating 3-1 home defeat by their historic archrivals Brazil in Rosario.
Madona transferred from Barcelona to Napoli in Italy's Serie A league for a record fee of £6.9 million in 1984.
However, during his time in Italy, Maradona's personal problems increased.
He developed a mega-buck cocaine addiction and was zapped with US $70,000 in fines from his club for missing games and practices, ostensibly because of 'stress' – caused by his drug supplier not turning up with the 'goodies'.
After serving a 15-month ban for failing a drug test for coke – plus suspicion over his affiliation with the Mafia-linked Camorra crime syndicate – Maradona left the Napoli team in disgrace in 1992 – owing what Italian tax collectors referred to as 'lots and lots of effing lira."
The Italian news agency El Scandalozo reported that Maradona faced a bill of 37 million euros ($54.43 million) from his time at Napoli, where he played a Messianic starring role between 1984 and 1991 – earning several zillion lire per match.
According to the Bonzo Provincial Tax Police Chief Guido Corruptioni, the former soccer star was forcibly divested of his diamond ear-rings – four per ear – each worth some 5,000 euros – totalling a recoup of 40,000 euros for the taxman's coffers.
Rumours concerning the forcible removal of his Prince Albert genital piercing jewellery – a 27 carat blue diamond topside clitty tickler curved barbell – remain unconfirmed but the ailing superstar was noted to be walking strangely after the tax plod squad raid.
The 96-year-old soccer legend was reportedly being treated for obesity problems and stress at the clinic after weighing in at 280 pounds while wearing a pair of jocks – and having bitten his fingernails down to the first knuckle.
In 2006, Italian authorities seized two dodgy Rolex watches worth an estimated 100,000 euros ($140,700) from Maradona during his appearance at a news conference in Naples.
One report by the Association of Italian Tax Dodgers claims Maradona still has 22.4 million euros ($33 million) to fork out – which may result in the forced removal of his gold teeth – and perhaps certain transplantable organs – with a healthy kidney currently fetching up to $100,000 on the Italian black market.

Democratic Attorney General-elect Josh Kaul will take office in about three weeks, but he'll assume the role with less power than his predecessor, Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel, who Kaul defeated by less than 1 percent in November's midterm elections.
Several Republican bills were signed [2] by Gov. Scott Walker last week limiting both the governor and attorney general's powers, including eliminating the state Department of Justice's solicitor general's office, allowing lawmakers to intervene in state lawsuits and requiring the attorney general to get the Legislature's approval before settling cases.
Kaul recently spoke with Wisconsin Public Radio's "Central Time" host Rob Ferrett.
The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Rob Ferrett: Let's start with the extraordinary session of the Legislature, when it comes to the powers of the attorney general what's on your mind?
Josh Kaul: Well first and foremost this is terrible legislation. This legislation has not been thought through as well as it should have been and there are some significant problems with it.
One is it takes resources away from the Wisconsin Department of Justice. That's not good for public safety. Another problem with the bill is that it reduces the powers of the governor and the attorney general, it's really an attempt to undermine the results of the elections. And one of the things that is sure to result from this legislation is that there's going to be litigation.
RF: Is there going to be litigation from you?
JK: I'm going to wait to comment on that until I am in the (attorney general)'s office, but I think regardless of who brings litigation, there is certain to be litigation because this is a significant shift in the way that our government is organized, it's a significant shift of power away from the executive branch to the Legislature and this is not how the transfer of power has worked literally for generations in this state or in this country.
RF: One issue in the news this week is the Affordable Care Act. We had a judge in Texas saying it's unconstitutional [3], going along with a lawsuit filed by 20 states, including Wisconsin. Now you are limited under this new legislation from pulling the state out of that lawsuit as it advances probably to the Supreme Court. How do you handle this?
JK: I campaigned in part on the need to withdraw Wisconsin from this lawsuit. Gov.-elect (Tony) Evers called on Gov. Walker to direct Brad Schimel to withdraw from the lawsuit. At no point did somebody say, 'Oh we may very well be changing the powers of the governor so he no longer can direct the (attorney general) to withdraw from this suit.' That's something that only came up after the election took place, it's really made that debate that we had in these elections into a sham and that's one of the unfortunate aspects of this legislation.
RF: Another big issue is Wisconsin's voting maps. A trial is set for April and the latest incarnation of that is the assembly is going to be allowed to have an attorney to make the case for these districts. How is that going to work?
JK: The AG's role is to defend state statutes even if the AG disagrees with them, one of the things I will be doing is defending the state's legislative maps. It's also appropriate though to speak up when there is room for positive policy change and policy improvement. We are spending money litigating over these maps, we're now going to have not only the (attorney general's) office, but also lawyers for the Legislature involved in defending these maps.
I would like to see Wisconsin move to an Iowa model where we have a nonpartisan redistricting process so that voters once again have control over our democracy, and we have voters choosing their representatives and not the other way around.
RF: On the campaign trail, a big issue for you was the opioid crisis. Do you see room where you and republicans in the Legislature can work to combat the opioid crisis?
JK: I do. The opioid epidemic is one great example, also add the growing meth problem we have in Wisconsin. I'm going to work with law enforcement agencies at the county, local and federal level to improve coordination so that we can work together to target large scale drug traffickers, people who are transporting meth, heroin or fentanyl across county and state lines.
I'm going to be an advocate for expanding access to substance abuse treatment in Wisconsin. One of the things I'll be doing as (attorney general) is taking a look at where the multi-state investigation is into the pharmaceutical manufacturers because we need to hold them accountable to the extent that they've been responsible for the opioid epidemic through false and deceptive marketing practices.
And then one other area is we still haven't expanded Medicaid in Wisconsin. If we do that we'd be able to cover about 80,000 additional Wisconsinites under BadgerCare ... and we'd also save the state about $190 million a year. And we can put that into a number of areas, for example expanding access to treatment.

The BBC report property developers who deliberately demolished a house containing protected bats have been fined £18,000.
Jenna Kara, 29, and Tina Kara, 34, directors of Landrose Developments Ltd, started tearing down the bungalow in Stanmore, north-west London, in 2016.
The company pleaded guilty at Willesden Magistrates' Court to damaging or destroying the breeding site.
The court heard the developers had pressed ahead with the demolition despite an expert reporting the site was home to soprano pipistrelle bats – a protected species in the UK and Europe.

Bottom LineThe Olympus OM-D E-M5 is the best Micro Four Thirds camera we've tested. It's got a top-notch stabilization system, is fully weather sealed, can shoot in all types of light, and ships with a sharp and versatile kit lens. Add it all up, and you have our new Editors' Choice for high-end compact interchangeable lens cameras.
Design and Features
The E-M5 is a bit larger than the smallest mirrorless compacts, but still not as big as a D-SLR. It measures 3.5 by 4.8 by 1.6 inches (HWD) and weighs about 15 ounces without a lens. If a smaller camera is what you crave, you'd be better off looking at something like our low-end Editors' Choice mirrorless compact, the
You've got two options for framing images. The first is an eye-level electronic viewfinder. It's housed just where it would be on a D-SLR, adding a characteristic angular hump to the top of the E-M5. Packed with 1.44 million dots, the LCD EVF is sharp and crisp, although with less contrast than the OLED EVF built into the
Physical controls are plentiful here. There are two control wheels, a mode dial, two programmable function buttons, a video recording button, and a four-way controller. The camera's menu system is pretty intense—there are pages and pages of options that you can customize—but once you've got the camera configured to suit your shooting style you won't have to spend a ton of time paging through it. I programmed the Fn2 button to activate its integrated digital zoom. If you're shooting in JPG or Raw+JPG, it effectively doubles your focal length. I was quite impressed with the quality of the digitally zoomed JPGs—they were only slightly softer than non-zoomed files, and retained the full 16-megapixel resolution. I also used the function as a manual focusing aid when shooting with legacy lenses. Tapping the button toggles between the two views, and even if you do find yourself firing a shot off when zoomed unintentionally in Raw+JPG mode, the Raw file retains the full field of view—it is only the JPG version that is cropped in-camera.
One of the advantages of Olympus Micro Four Thirds bodies over Panasonic cameras with the same lens mount and sensor size like the
If you're interested in using
The E-M5's body is fully weather sealed, and if you opt to buy the kit we reviewed, which includes the sealed M.Zuiko 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 ED lens ($499.99 if purchased separately), you've got a camera that you can take outdoors in almost any type of weather and shoot without worry. There aren't a lot of interchangeable lens cameras on the market that offer sealed body and sealed lens options—the only others that we've tested are the
Performance and Conclusions
Early Micro Four Thirds models were nowhere near as fast as competing D-SLRs, and that stigma has followed the cameras around—even though they are, generally speaking, no longer guilty. The E-M5 isn't going to outperform a pro camera like our Editors Choice full-frame D-SLR, the
The E-M5 can start up and grab a photo in 1.5 seconds, rattles off shots at 9 frames per second, and records an extremely short 0.09 second shutter lag. When using a SanDisk 95MBps memory card, the camera can keep up the fast shooting pace for about 18 JPG shots, 16 Raw shots, or 16 Raw+JPG shots before slowing down. Recovery time also varies based on the format—all of the JPG shots are written to the camera in about 5.1 seconds, while you'll have to wait 11.8 seconds for the Raw buffer to clear, and 14.4 seconds for the Raw+JPG files to be stored on the card. The
I also tested the noise present in out-of-camera JPGs using Imatest's Colorcheck module. When an image is composed of more than 1.5 percent noise it starts to look overly grainy. The E-M5 was able to keep noise under this level through ISO 3200. This is one stop better than the NEX-7, which only made it to ISO 1600. More impressive is that the Olympus was able to keep the noise low without relying on overzealous digital noise reduction—which helps to keep noise low, but also washes away detail in photos. To my eye, JPG files were excellent in terms of detail through ISO 3200, and still very usable at ISO 6400. Setting the camera any higher than that can get dicey when working with JPGs, but if you are willing to put the extra time in and shoot in the camera's Raw format, you can probably push it to ISO 12800. It's a bit hard to tell for sure at this point as Lightroom 4 has not yet been updated to support the E-M5's Raw format, and the noise reduction algorithms in the included Olympus Viewer 2 are not as robust as those offered by Adobe Camera Raw.
The camera records QuickTime video at 1080p30 or 720p30 format with continuous autofocus. The quality is excellent, and the camera's stabilization system helps to keep your handheld footage from looking as if it was shot on a boat. Serious videographers are going to be left wanting in terms of audio, since there's no microphone input. Olympus does sell the SEMA-1 Microphone Adapter ($89.99), which includes a tiny stereo mic and an adapter that turns the hot shoe into a microphone input jack. The E-M5 has a micro HDMI port to connect to an HDTV and a proprietary USB interface to connect to a computer. It can record data to SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.
This is the shooter Micro Four Thirds aficionados have been waiting for. While there have been good cameras available to mount the ever-growing library of native lenses, it's been hard to find one that can be described as truly excellent. The E-M5 fills that void—it can shoot as fast as an SLR, delivers quick and accurate focus, and does a good job at high ISOs. Traditional shooters may be turned off by the lack of an optical finder, but this is the case with all mirrorless cameras. The only way to get around it is to opt for a rangefinder like the Leica M9 ($6,995), but that design precludes through-the-lens viewing—and it costs a bundle.
The OM-D E-M5 earns our Editors' Choice for high-end compact interchangeable lens cameras, edging out the Sony Alpha NEX-7. The NEX has a bigger sensor, and is only $50 more, but the E-M5's performance, ergonomics, weather sealing, and impressive kit lens help it prevail. The NEX's big advantage is a larger image sensor, but its native lens selection, while constantly improving, cannot match that of Micro Four Thirds. If you've already bought into the Micro Four Thirds system and are considering an upgrade, look no further: The E-M5 is simply the finest camera you'll find.

Disease That Has Killed 7 Million Bats Strikes Missouri
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Wildlife agency officials announced today the first cases of white-nose syndrome — an emergent disease that has devastated North American bat populations over the past several winters — in Missouri. Lab results confirmed that bats from two caves in Lincoln County, north of St. Louis, were infected with the deadly fungus, which has killed nearly 7 million bats throughout the eastern United States and Canada since it was first documented in upstate New York in 2006. The discovery is the first official report of the bat disease west of the Mississippi River. In 2010, the fungal pathogen was detected on asymptomatic bats in Missouri and Oklahoma.
"White-nose syndrome in Missouri is following the deadly pattern it has exhibited elsewhere," said Mollie Matteson, a bat specialist with the Center for Biological Diversity, which has worked for years to raise funds for, and curb, the bat crisis. "First the fungus shows up on a few healthy bats. A couple of years later, the disease strikes. And if the pattern continues, we can expect that in another few years, the majority of Missouri's hibernating bats will be dead."
Bats provide vital services where they live. In Missouri, for example, it's estimated that the state's 775,000 gray bats eat more than 223 billion bugs each year.
Last month biologists confirmed white-nose syndrome for the first time in Alabama and Delaware, and National Park Service officials reported the bat disease for the first time in Acadia National Park in Maine and Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina. The disease has also been rapidly spreading this year to new locations in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, where it was documented for the first time last winter.
The bat epidemic is the worst wildlife-disease decline in U.S. history. Nine species of bat have been found with the fungus, and of these, six species have experienced mortality, several of them at rates approaching 100 percent. Biologists fear that several bat species, including the once-common little brown bat, may become extinct.
Scientists do not yet have an effective treatment; the only known way to contain the spread of white-nose is to reduce the risk of human transport of the fungus by closing caves to nonessential access and requiring decontamination procedures of those still entering caves. Researchers believe the previously unknown fungus killing the bats was introduced to North America by cave visitors from Europe. There, the fungus has been discovered on bats in several countries, but it appears to do little to no harm to them.
Bats themselves can transmit the disease to each other and to new locations, but they are not capable of migrations greater than a few hundred miles. Fears of long-distance transport of fungus by people prompted limited cave closures on western federal lands following the discovery of the pathogen on asymptomatic bats in Missouri and western Oklahoma in 2010. However, western land managers have taken few precautionary measures against human spread since then.
In 2010 the Center filed a federal petition calling for the closure of bat caves on all federal lands in the lower 48 states as a precaution against the potential human spread of white-nose. Most federal lands in the eastern United States already have closure rules in place or require screening and decontamination of cave tourists, as is the case at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. But the majority of caves on western federal lands remain open, and decontamination procedures are not required.
"Now that white-nose syndrome is clearly at the doorstep of the West, there can be no more excuses for inaction on the part of western land mangers," said Matteson. "This killer disease has shown over and over again that it moves in subtly at first, but before you know it there are dead bats all over the place."
White-nose syndrome is now confirmed in 19 states and suspected in one; it is also confirmed in four Canadian provinces.
The loss of bug-eating bats may result in economic losses to American agriculture, as well as burgeoning populations of insects, no longer kept in check by bats. Scientists estimate that the loss of bats may cost farmers between $3.7 billion and $53 billion annually in crop losses and increased pesticide use, due to the disappearance of bats' natural, freely provided pest control. Bats consume thousands of tons of insects every year.

I wanted to bake something our 7th wedding anniversary. Although who needs an excuse for cake, right? And I love anything with fruit and with the little purple plums in season now, I couldn't resist.
I adapted this recipe from Nigella Lawson's, "Nigellissima" cookbook. It called for apples but I obviously used plums and instead of topping the cake with sugar, I crushed a couple of amaretti cookies and sprinkled the cake before baking. I also cut down the sugar by 1/4 cup. As much as I like sweets, I'm not a fan of overly sweet. This was perfect! I can't wait to have another piece in the morning with my coffee.
Italian Plum Cake
adapted from Nigellissima, by Nigella Lawson
8 tablespoons butter, softened
1 2/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
Zest of a lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk, at room temperature (I used almond milk)
4 plums, pitted and sliced
2 amaretti cookies, crushed, or
1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400F.
Butter a 9 inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
In a food processor, put the butter, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract and blitz until it forms a thick batter. With the motor still running, pour the milk down the funnel.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan and smooth out. Arrange the plums in a pretty pattern on top of the cake batter and sprinkle with the crushed amaretti or the sugar/cinnamon.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool for an hour in pan before serving.

50 Shades of Glasgow....
I thought I knew all about poker variance and how it works.I've played through long breakeven stretches of SNG's before and dealt with sick swings back in my cash game days, but it's taken me a while to realise just how brutal and sickening the MTT variety can be.I've been holding off on posting in hope that a decent score would mean I could avoid another dull boring post about how badly I'm running and how I can never seem to win key hands when deep but that's not happened.
Stars now has an option to click a button that opens a hand replayer which makes it easy to embed hands in blogs and other social media.I had a look at some of the hands pro's have posted using the feature and most are bad beat exit hands.Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.I will try and capture a few of the more interesting hands I'm involved in using boomplayer.com but I'll keep the bad beats to an absolute minimum.
After 6 1/2 yrs of using strict bankroll management this year has been quite liberating and soul crushing at the same time.I've made final tables,deep runs and even redeposited to stay in the games I'm really enjoying playing.( well up until my exit hand) I'd say I'm quite laidback and easy going most of the time but I'm also very competitive and it's been hard admitting to myself that my take a shot strategy hasn't worked out for me.
What's made things is a little easier is realising ( through reading threads on 2+2 etc)just how much of a chance I was taking playing so many $44 and $55 Mtt's with such a small bankroll.Doing so while still very much learning Mtt's and trying out different moves to see what works and what doesn't, as well as learning to adjust my ranges was probably never going to end well.
However soft ( and they are still full of fish) low stakes Mtt's are, simply winning the number of pots required to make a final table or take one down requires an awful lot of good luck/run good.Last night I came 15th in an $8,$8k Gtd Mtt after shoving A10 and being knocked out by the chip leader's A5 hitting a 5 on the flop.After telling nobody in particular to "fuck right fucking off" I thought back over the tourney and realised I'd been lucky to even get that far.Almost all of my big hands had actually held up,I'd won a few flips and I even recall getting it in with A10 on a K Q 10 flop v KQ and hitting another 10 on the turn to win the pot.Of course at the time when KK holds v A4 for example, it doesn't feel lucky at all, but winning in many similar situations over the course of a tourney to make a deep run is beating the odds.
My roll is only a couple of hundered $$ and although I've cut out the $55's ( should probably be cutting out the $5's nevermind $55's on my roll now!) I still took a shot at a couple of $27's and a $44 last night after making a few small cashes in earlier Mtt's.I also went back to playing a few 18 player turbo's and it was nice to go back to a game I know so well and where the right moves come far more naturally to me.( due having played thousands of them)
Anyway that's the poker update.Not much else going on really.My date went ok a few weeks ago and we talked about going out again but she said was called into work at the last minute ( she's a care worker) last week and this week when we were due to go out on Wed she texted me on Tues about 10pm to say "wnt make 2mrw sorry x" to which I sent a short reply and don't expect to hear from her again.
I will be catching up with a girl I went to school with soon.I've only seen her a few times over the years and we mainly just swap cards and texts around this time of year because our birthdays are close together.She's split from her partner and is moving to a new job soon down in Liverpool so we're planning on having a few drinks before she goes.
I've been trying not to reflect on the fact that I hit my late 30's soon ( on August 5th before my 40th on the 6th) but it's hard not to do some looking back/forward with such a big milestone coming up.Not really came to any earth shattering conclusions.Sure I could make more effort to find a woman and have more of a social life and yes I do sometimes feel like I should be doing more in general and that time is just passing me by but to be honest I've felt that way about time being wasted even when I was in a committed relationship.
Getting up early,going to work 5 days,counting down the Mondays until my next week or two off.Yeah it's all a bit Renton from Trainspotting and his "Choose Life" speech but it's just the way I feel.Of course I realise most people with kids are too busy to have time to think along similar lines and that plenty of people waste their time watching shit tv etc or spouting self important crap on the internet.On the subject of the latter I've nearly given in and signed up for Twitter ( Mum and Sis are on it now too)but I still refuse to bore the world to death 140 characters at a time.Yes I'll stick to doing the job properly using this space and far more characters...
Had to laugh at one of the more prudish women at my work reading that "50 Shades of Grey" book.A bit of an eye opener for someone who thought you joined the Mile High Club by taking a dump on a plane.Still I much prefer this quote from 50 Shades of Andy Gray,
"After the five hour romp, they shared a cigarette. "Was I any good?" she asked nervously. "You'd struggle on a cold night at The Britannia."
50 Shades of Glasgow on twitter is great too,although you may need a translator if you're not from Scotlands finest city.
Ok,thanks for reading.Back soon...

In the interview below (see link) John Sellar discusses the illegal wild life trade. Sellar describes the organised crime behind the trade, and talks about the huge amounts of money involved in the business. Its an interesting piece which describes the problems of tackling this trade – primarily, this seems to be a lack of man power combined with laws not being properly enforced.

Jason Aldean Has Piled Up Over 20 Songs For New Album
Jason Aldean has enough songs set aside to make two new albums, but the 'Dirt Road Anthem' singer will soon begin whittling down a "pile of 20, 25 songs" to the one's that work best for his fifth studio album. Aldean -- who, as previously reported, will begin recording in October -- says he waits to hear the songs before deciding which direction to take with a new project.
"We've never gone in and said, 'Hey, we're going to make a really country record,' or a country-rock record or whatever," Aldean tells Billboard. "I think you just wait on the songs to come in and then you go in the studio and the album takes shape. Whatever it sounds like when you're done is what it sounds like."
Aldean has also been writing songs, but he insists he won't include more than a couple of his own cuts on any album. "It's just not the way I operate. I'm such a fan of so many other writers, and even though I may have a song that I think is cool and good, it seems like I always find something that I like better and end up booting my own songs off the record."
He goes on to hint that there could be a fifth single from 'My Kinda Party' before he begins releasing new music. 'Tattoos on This Town' is his current single, but Aldean says his team thought there were five or six singles once they finished recording in 2010.
In November, Aldean will be up for five CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year. It's his first chance at the award show's top prize, and he's optimistic.
"I think we've got as good a chance as anybody, y'know?" he says. "I don't really care about nominations if we don't have a shot at winning."

When it comes to bedrooms, the Upper West Side resident has hit the jackpot.
Like many a New York City resident, interior designer Yudi Kaufman is familiar with the constraints of crowded spaces. That said, while Kaufman's Upper West Side apartment is, by his description, "small," his master bedroom is one of his largest rooms—and the one for which he's the most thankful.
Kaufman, the Vice President of Robin Baron Design, Inc. and an alumnus of the Fashion Institute of Technology, likes to unwind in his master bedroom, and it's easy to see why. The room, which he describes as "a soothing modern-transitional look with a touch of steampunk, a touch of glam and a touch of drama," has enough space not just for his queen-sized bed, but also for two nightstands. A color scheme of "soft taupes with pops of plums and cranberries" runs throughout.
The icing on the cake, though, is the bedroom's sitting area, which gives Kaufman a spot in which to truly relax, watch TV, read or even just catch up on his emails and phone calls, he said. Located directly in front of his bed, the sitting area is dominated by the Luna Open Back Settee from Robin Baron. Kaufman loves each and every item in his bedroom, but he is quite partial to his settee.
"It's my favorite piece in our collection and I love having it in my home!" he said in an email.
When he first set out to design his bedroom, Kaufman made sure to incorporate both drama and calm. He loves a dramatic look in a room, but he also needed a place to unwind from the chaos of New York City, he said.
"Incorporating dramatic elements needed to be done carefully and tastefully, without overwhelming the room," he said. He points to his eight-foot headboard as an example. "The headboard is upholstered in a plain linen fabric and has very minimal tufting, so while its height adds a powerful sense of drama to the room, it does so without overwhelming the space," he said.
Kaufman has been living in his apartment for eight years, and it took him six years to get the room to where he wanted it to be.
"When I first moved in, I used the furniture I had leftover from previous apartments and slowly, over the course of time, changed out piece by piece," he said. "It wasn't until the summer before last when everything in the room was just right."
He was probably right not to rush things. Kaufman's bedroom is filled with items that have been carefully selected over the years, leading to a cohesive look that is tasteful and also very personal to him.
"I have great art, some of which I had commissioned and is super personal to me," he said. He added that he has "fab furnishings" that include "cabinet hardware that is from the Robin Baron Home Furnishings Collections."
The way Kaufman sees it, gratitude can absolutely play an important role in design.
"In fact, gratitude can play an important role in anything we do!" he said. "When we bring consciousness to the things we are grateful for, the sky is the limit. This is true in design as well. By staying positive, surrounding ourselves with good people and being grateful, the visceral reactions we have when making design decisions will always yield a beautiful end result."

When you think of a subway station, you imagine an urban setting, connectivity to buses and taxis, parking lots, restaurants, cafés, shops, a bank, etc. Basically, all the amenities that the public can use in this fast-paced life. Earlier, the presence and number of such amenities distinguished a rural area from an urban one, however, nowadays these have become mandatory in a rural setting too. Perhaps, not to the extent as in major cities, but development is enveloping larger areas at a faster pace.
So it's great news when we hear that even rural cities in China are well equipped with a super modern subway station. China's Caojiawan Station is one such example; however, the story here is slightly different. The interior of the subway station is modern, and the floors are covered with sparkling, clean black stones, while the walls are shiny blue. The station is flooded with bright lights and the staff on duty includes security guards and subway officers.
On the outside though, the scene is different altogether. The exit leads to a barren wasteland overgrown with wild plants, weeds, and shrubs. There are no concrete roads for highway connections, no facilities to park cars and the absence of a bus stop suggests that no buses or other public transportation connect the subway station to the city center. Certainly, no sign of cafés, restaurants, and banks. According to one report, the setting outside "could easily be from a post-apocalyptic movie."
The Caojiawan Station is a part of the network of subway lines created for the transportation of 9 million people residing in the southwestern part of China. It's one of the stops on Line 6 of the Chongqing Railway Transit Service. Regardless of what is on the outside, the station has been fully operational since 2015. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't have a lot of visitors. The station is designed with three exits and only one is used. The sight outside the two unused exits is, naturally, far worse than the one that is being used by the station's handful of commuters. Furthermore, the ones that do use the station also have to rely on a van service to transport them from the suburbs to the city center.
This poor planning appears to be the result of lack of communication and connectivity between government departments. The government department in charge of constructing subways justifies its decision to build a subway in this location by stating that it is part of the larger plan to improve connectivity and infrastructure development in rural China. The other department, in charge of road planning, construction, and maintenance, is separate and has not taken the initiative to work along with the subway department and develop the area as a whole.
This is a major drawback and indicates that effective planning is essential and that all governments need to work together in harmony to provide the necessary infrastructure, services, and facilities to the public. Hopefully, the road department and the Chongqing City planning commission will catch up with the subway department soon to make the station more user-friendly. Until then, this station is, undeniably, the most lonely station in the world. This symbol of rural development has become quite famous on the Internet for all the wrong reasons.

(Image: AP: Stormy Daniels, outside a US court on 16 April 2018)
President Donald Trump acknowledged on Thursday that he repaid his personal lawyer for hush money given to porn actress Stormy Daniels, after previously claiming he didn't know about the payments.
But the president tweeted that the money, paid just before the 2016 election to stifle her claims of an affair, "had nothing to do with the campaign".
Trump said his attorney, Michael Cohen, received a monthly retainer which he used to pay the actress to sign an agreement not to talk about her allegations and thus "stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair".
Trump's tweets outlining the arrangement came after Rudy Giuliani, one of his attorneys, said on Wednesday that Trump reimbursed Cohen for $130,000 paid to Daniels.
During a TV appearance, Giuliani said the money to repay Cohen had been "funnelled... through the law firm and the president repaid it".
Asked if Trump knew about the arrangement, Giuliani said: "He didn't know about the specifics of it, as far as I know. But he did know about the general arrangement; that Michael would take care of things like this, like I take care of things like this for my clients."
In another TV appearance on Thursday, Giuliani said Trump didn't know all the details until "maybe 10 days ago". While stressing that Trump denies the relationship, he said Cohen may have seen $130,000 as "cheap".
"They said it wasn't true," Giuliani said. "However, imagine if that came out on October 15, 2016, in the middle of the last debate with Hillary Clinton. Cohen didn't even ask. Cohen made it go away. He did his job."
The comments appeared to contradict statements made by Trump several weeks ago, when he said he didn't know about the payment. Giuliani later suggested to The Wall Street Journal that while Trump had repaid the $130,000, Cohen had settled the payment to Daniels without Trump's knowledge at the time.
Guiliani's revelation seemed aimed at reducing the president's legal exposure. But outside experts said it raised a number of questions, including whether the money represented repayment of an undisclosed loan or could be seen as reimbursement for a campaign expenditure.
The White House referred questions to the president's personal legal team.
Law firms advance expenses for clients as a matter of course, and so there's nothing inherently improper about a lawyer covering a particular payment and then being reimbursed for it.
In this case, though, the client who apparently reimbursed the expense was running for president and the money was paid just days before the election, raising questions about whether Cohen's law practice was functioning as a vendor for the campaign and whether the expense was therefore an unreported campaign expenditure. If so, that could be legally problematic.
Giuliani, a former New York City mayor and ex-US attorney who joined Trump's legal team last month, said the payment "is going to turn out to be perfectly legal" because "that money was not campaign money".
Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, says she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, months after his third wife gave birth to his youngest child, and was paid to keep quiet as part of a nondisclosure agreement she is now seeking to invalidate.
The White House has said Trump denies having a relationship with Daniels.

Importance of having a Brisbane oil spill kit
You may not have ever experienced a Brisbane oil spill, but that does not eliminate the hazards and the amount of loss that you can bear because of it. Oil is toxic in any type of ecosystem. It is necessary to have all the precautionary equipments and measures in place to ensure that you are always prepared for oil spill Brisbane.
If your work deals with oils or lubricants, it is important to be well aware of the properties of these chemicals. This would help you understand how to deal with different situations involving oil. As oil does not mix with water, it is not possible to mop it up. In addition, oil is exceedingly slick, which increases the likeliness of a slip or fall if the Brisbane oil spill control takes place in an area where there is any amount of traffic. An area that has oils or lubricants in significant amount should have proper spill kit that is most suitable for handling the type of chemicals in use.
It is important for such an organization to train their employees in the use of spill kit, in addition to giving directions to their location and usage. The correct usage of the kit would help in minimizing any damage that is caused to the workspace and the environment. It would also help in minimizing the chance or amount of injury that the customers or workers can experience.
Most of the time owners and managers are not sure where they should be having an oil spill kit in their organization. The answer is that you should have a kit wherever oil is stored or used regularly. Garages and shops that involve regular oil change are the most common places. There is a high chance that a spill and a resultant accident can take place in such a place.
It is also important to have the right kit for different types of chemical storage. Even though you would feel entirely safe with the oil being stored in its container, you can never tell when a spill or an accident can occur. Dropping a bottle or bumping accidentally into a container leading to a puncture is all that can take place to create a massive spillage.
You can find a Floor bunding brisbane in stores near you or in online stores. When your work involves the use of equipment and tools around oil containers and pipes, it is simply unreasonable not to have a kit. So, if your business involves the use of oil in any form, make sure that you have spillage kits installed in all the locations where oil and related chemicals are used or stored. It would ensure protection of your staff as well as for the environment.
