DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) - A Decatur family says a Huntsville doctor is to blame for the death of their son. 27-year-old Adam Willingham died last June of an apparent accidental drug overdose. His parents say Dr. Shelinder Aggarwal provided the prescription drugs. This same doctor is accused of excessively dispensing controlled substances and his authority to prescribe them is now suspended. A move Adam's parents say comes too late to save their son.
"Adam died of a prescription drug overdose," says the young man's father, Jeff Willingham.
"He had been clean. He'd had a problem with drugs before and he'd been clean for a while, and he went to this doctor and he loaded him up and two days later he was dead," Adam's mother, Darlene Willingham says.
That doctor was Shelinder Aggarwal. The Willinghams say their son's only medical history was a broken ankle 10 years before he stepped foot in Dr. Aggarwal's office. Medical records show he paid Dr. Aggarwal a visit, for back pain, and was prescribed 120 oxycodone pills, 120 methadone tablets, and 90 Xanax pills.
The second visit, just two days before his death, the Willinghams say Aggarwal gave Adam more methadone and Xanax, but the oxycodone was replaced with hydromorphone, otherwise known as Dilaudid or synthetic morphine.
He simply walked in, said he was suffering from chronic back pain and left with a handful of prescriptions? "That's it," according to Darlene Willingham, "and it killed him."
The Willinghams, as you might imagine, have been following the recent developments regarding Dr. Aggarwal with keen interest. They say they feel he is responsible for their son's death. They showed us medical records from Aggarwal indicating he knew of Adam's drug problem, yet still prescribed him large quanities of narcotics.
The Willinghams say nothing can bring their son back, but perhaps state medical examiners can prevent another tragedy from occurring. (darlene & jeff willingham)
Fighting back tears, Darlene Willingham said, "It's destroyed us. It's a struggle just to get out of bed and go to work and keep on living. When you lose a child like this, just gone, here one day and then gone. It's just senseless. It shouldn't have happened."
The Willinghams say they understand there are those who suffer from debilitating and chronic pain who legitimately rely upon these medicines. But they claim even a cursory examination of their son would have proven he was not one of them.
WHNT News 19 tried repeatedly Wednesday afternoon to reach Dr. Shelinder Aggarwal for comment on this story. None of our calls were returned.
We feel it important to tell you another doctor with the last name Agarwal contacted us. He says since our stories first aired this week he has been getting calls from patients asking if he is the same doctor named in our coverage. His name is Dr. Sanjay Agarwal. He practices medicine in Ardmore, Tennessee and says there is no relation between him and Dr. Shelinder Aggarwal.
A note to this story, Ardmore, TN internal medicine specialist Dr. Sanjay Agarwal is not associated with this report in any way. Dr. Sanjay Agarwal is not under any kind of suspicion or investigation.

Newly revealed documents show Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren charged $675 an hour for legal services she provided to a committee handling the 2001 bankruptcy case of GAF Materials Corporation:
Warren made five requests for compensation for services rendered May 2002 through January 2003, totalling $14,175, for "Professional Legal Services" which were described in detail in billing records attached to the requests, and included consultation and review of various motions.
Warren made the following or substantially identical representations to the Court in each of the fee applications (emphasis mine):
Professor Warren has maintained detailed records of the time spent in the rendition of professional services for the Committee during the Application Period. Attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference is a true and correct copy of the monthly billing statement prepared for the services rendered in this case by Professor Warren (the "Billing Statement"). The Billing Statement is in the same form regularly used by Professor Warren to bill her clients for services rendered and includes the date that the services were rendered, a detailed, contemporaneous narrative description of the services, the amount of time spent for each service.
Ms. Warren's $675 an hour standard rate is outlined on page 5 of the documents associated with the case, which can be seen here.
Blogger William Jacobson uses the fee rate to argue Warren maintained a thriving legal practice out of her Cambridge, Massachusetts office but has never been licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
Only Warren knows the extent of her private law practice, and she refuses to make a full disclosure.
The issue is not just whether Warren was the champion of the poor, as she claims, but whether she practiced law from her Cambridge office without having the necessary Massachusetts attorney license required when one maintains an "office for the practice of law" or maintains any other "systematic and continuous precense in [Massachusetts] for the practice of law."

The day my Sony Plasma tv arrived, I was definitely happy. I guess it was the in thing back then, everybody wanted one. But there was a pint little problem when my tv got delivered, I didn't know how to mount it on the wall. I mean, there were people to install it, but I somehow got O.C. again. Think about it, you paid so much for a tv that you've dreamt for the whole season and now you'll have to mount it on the wall. My problem about it simply was.. "What if it fell?"
Quite a scary thought isn't it? Good thing I was pointed to a UK company that sells plasma wall mountings, Dekomount. The main product of Dekomount is plasma wall brackets so you can be it's not a side product without quality. The packaging is great and they have next day delivery. Their website looks so cool as well.
But I would also like to mention, Dekomount is not only limited to wall brackets. They also sell TV stands and other accessories. So you can imagine just buying everything you need and getting it the next day. I hope you guys check out the site.. it's really worth especially now that the Holidays are coming. Some of my friends are planning to buy plasma tv's of their own. Surely, this is a great find when it comes to making sure you've got everything done right.

Government Infrastructure Projects Dynamically Changing Face of the Nation
MALABO (October 15, 2010) - The inauguration of the new Annobón airport and trade port
were the central events of Equatorial Guinea's (Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial) Independence
Day Celebration. President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo commissioned the construction of the two
facilities in an effort to foster economic growth through access to the remote island province.
The two robust infrastructure projects were executed by Somagec (a Moroccan company) and
fully funded by the government. The Annobón airport is part of a much larger national
development plan undertaken by President Obiang's administration to increase development
across the country.
"To mitigate the effects of poverty and meet the Millennium Declaration, the Government of
Equatorial Guinea has embarked on a strategic planning process for long-term development,"
said the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pastor Micha Ondo in September at the United Nations
General Assembly in New York City.
So far, the administration has made rapid progress in improving and expanding Equatorial
Guinea's island and mainland transportation infrastructure, as well as electrification projects,
such as the construction of the Djibloho Hydroelectric and Distribution Plant which will generate
over 220 kilowatts to supply electricity to the mainland region. Transportation and energy are
two of several areas of initiatives the Equatorial Guinean government is focusing its
development resources on. Projects in telecommunications, education and health are also in the
The Annobón airport and trade port are two massive, state-of-the-art infrastructure projects that
will bring an end to the isolation that has always characterized the island province. Prior to the
construction of the new airport, the island only had a short runway that caused significant risk for
arriving aircraft. The runway now has been extended to approximately 600 meters to allow for
large passenger and commercial flights to land safely on the island.
At the opening ceremony of the 42nd Independence Day Celebration, held on the Annobón
airport's tarmac, representatives from Somagec and General Works, the firms tasked with
building the Annobón airport and other ongoing projects, along with Minister of Public Works
and Infrastructure, Marcelino Oyono Ntutumu, addressed the public to report on the details of the
projects already completed, and those underway.
The new port on Annobón, which makes the island accessible for trade, with capacity to dock
large tonnage ships and passenger ferries, totaled an investment of approximately €100 million.
In addition to the airport and port, the Equatorial Guinean government has also funded a series of
public housing blocks in Annobón built by General Works and there are several other projects
planned, including: water systems, the construction of a junior high school and a police station,
totaling a government investment of approximately €200 million.
About Equatorial Guinea
The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-
speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s,
American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only
within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is
now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The
country will host the 2011 Summit of the African Union. For more information, visit

These are some of the findings from a new report 'Community Shops: A better form of business' which provides a comprehensive look into the research available on the performance and impact of community shops in the UK. Published on 5 July 2017 by Plunkett Foundation, the leading support organisation for community shops which has been promoting co-operation in rural communities for nearly 100 years.
The research shows that at the end of 2016:
- There were 348 community shops trading in the UK providing essential services to 1,400 remote rural communities
- They created 1,114 paid jobs and 9,605 volunteer positions
- They generated a combined turnover of £54m and donated £125,000 to community projects
- No community shops have closed in the last two years resulting in a 95% long term survival rate
- There are community shops open throughout the UK with a significant concentration (32%) in South West England.
All community shops are independent democratic businesses owned and ultimately controlled by their members on the basis of one member one vote, regardless of the number of shares owned. Over 62,000 people have shares in community shops.
The report highlights that there even though there has been no decline in the number of enquiries Plunkett Foundation receives from communities exploring the community shop model, the rate of new community shops opening has slowed. This most likely reflects the increased difficulty community groups experience in accessing grants and securing premises as well as the increased complexity of the projects themselves.
The premises used by community shops vary widely. The largest proportion (38%) are based in former village shop premises but increasingly communities have been establishing shops in converted premises and new-builds. Unusual examples of conversions include a dovecote, bus shelter, fire station, public toilets and freight containers.
Only 26% of communities own the freehold of their shop. This was not flagged as a concern by shops in the survey but is a risk that Plunkett Foundation is continuing to monitor.
Community shops provide much more than everyday essentials:
- 43% have some form of café
- 59% provide Post Office services
- 48% offer home delivery
- 18% collect prescriptions
- 95% stock local food
They also contribute to community life in various ways including running affordable food schemes, hosting arts and cultural activities, providing training, improving community safety, promoting tourism and providing disability services; 71% of community shops surveyed said they actively addressed the health care and wellbeing of customers in various ways.
James Alcock, General Manager at Plunkett Foundation, said: "Community shops are a great leveller – they bring people together of all ages, backgrounds, interests, and give them a purpose to interact. This can benefit new residents who want to meet their neighbours, young parents who feel isolated at home, teenagers seeking work and life experience, the retired seeking opportunities to remain active, and those who live alone or are carers and have no other way of meeting people. Put simply, community shops reduce social isolation and loneliness."
'Community Shops: A better form of business' is based on data sourced from the Financial Conduct Authority and Companies House, electronic questionnaires and follow-up telephone surveys, and additional information held by Plunkett Foundation on every community shop since 2002. The data collection, analysis, and written report were undertaken by Plunkett Foundation and supported by data provided by Co‑operatives UK. This work was funded by The Power to Change Research Institute.
James Alcock added: "I would like to thank the many people involved in community shops who contributed to this report by taking part in surveys, sending photographs, and telling their stories. We also thank our funders and partners who help us to sustain our service for community shops."
Plunkett Foundation represents a network of over 500 rural community co-operatives that are trading in all parts of the UK. It supports these organisations to thrive and helps new ones to get started. It aims to grow this sector by raising awareness of the co-operative model to more communities, and to reach geographic areas and individuals most in need.

Notes to Editors:
Plunkett Foundation (www.plunkett.co.uk) helps communities to take control of their challenges and overcome them together. We support people, predominantly in rural areas, to set up and run life-changing community co-operatives; enterprises that are owned and run democratically by large numbers of people in their community. They help people to tackle a range of issues, from isolation and loneliness to poverty, and come in many forms including shops, cafes, pubs and land-based initiatives, and everything in between.
About Power to Change
Power to Change is an independent charitable trust endowed with £150 million from the Big Lottery Fund to grow community business in England. Over ten years, we will provide funding and support to help build many more successful and sustainable local community businesses across England.

Ask any student regarding the reason why he seeks good marks and a degree. His best answer would be that he is doing all of it to secure a good job at a high and respectable position and earn lots of money. For many people like these, education is merely a path to achieve materialistic perks such as money and reputation. Their studies are fueled by these desires and the expectations of achieving them.
However, this method would definitely have worked at any time during the late 20th Century, when only a few people had the means to educate themselves, and those few would have easily got a job by completing high school education and securing a degree.
Today, the case is not the same, as more than half of the Indian Population has access to education and thus could complete their basic education and hold a degree without as much effort as their parents. This has increased the competition, and now at a time when a company could find thousands of people at a time having a particular degree or an education in a required job sector; the companies don't look for these formal qualifications anymore.
What the biggest companies look for in their potential employees is the ability to create novel ideas, be creative and be able to express themselves clearly and effectively. Today, high-level jobs are not given to an average Joe who got a master's degree through rote-learning. Instead, only those who are equipped with enough knowledge in their field, and can spontaneously generate ideas are given the perks of an elite-level job and a high salary.
This is the problem with the Indian Education System. Our teachers don't teach us the importance of the subjects and how it could be helpful for us, rather, students are taught about way and tricks to pass the examinations with the least level of effort possible. This has what created engineers incapable of undertaking a huge million-dollar project, doctors in hospitals incapable of handling a serious medical case, and a few scientists who could only build on an existing technology, rather than use their knowledge and innovate.
Of course, not everyone is doing the same, and there are a few who've seriously worked their craft and achieved laurels. But from a vantage point, one can clearly see how people perceive education in India. To most of us, its not an opportunity, but rather a formality. The blame goes to the parents as well. Parents force their children to either become a doctor or an engineer, precisely because, at their time, these two were the only major fields in which one could have achieved the objectives of a high position job and a good salary. But the time today is different! Jobs could now be created in a variety of fields. Today, a person can have the same level of achievements being an actor, a singer, or a graphic artist as compared to being a doctor or an engineer. All it requires is gaining knowledge and applying it in a creative manner.
Creativity and Curiosity are the important fuels for Innovation. Only these two factors can enable anyone to be successful in whatever field they want to. This is why children today must be given freedom to progress on a path where their curiosity exists, let them gain the required knowledge, and then use creative ways to excel in their craft.

A raft of inflation (price) measures are expected in Australia in the coming week with the figures on consumer prices of most interest. Overseas, the focus is on another bumper schedule of economic data releases in the US with economic growth data on Friday.
The week kicks off in Australia on Monday, with the release of the latest State of the States report from CommSec. The report highlights the relative economic performances of state and territory economies.
Also on Tuesday, Roy Morgan and ANZ will release the weekly consumer sentiment survey. Aussie consumers are feeling OK at present – not irrationally optimistic nor pessimistic.
On Wednesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) releases the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the September quarter.
We believe that price pressures are generally contained. The "headline" CPI probably rose 0.4% in the quarter and 1.0% over the year, replicating the June quarter results. Petrol prices fell by between 2-3% in the quarter, keeping inflation at modest levels.
Clearly, the "headline" CPI can get affected by volatile elements like petrol. The "underlying" price measures attempt to dig a little deeper to get a better sense of price pressures. We expect that "underlying" prices rose by 0.5% in the quarter and 1.7% over the year.
Results in line with our forecasts don't provide the "smoking gun" needed to justify another rate cut. But if the underlying estimate of inflation lifts by less than 0.4%, then another rate cut will be on the agenda at the November 1 Reserve Bank Board meeting.
The question for Reserve Bank Board members is whether there is value in cutting rates again.
On Thursday, the ABS releases data on export and import prices. And on Friday, the producer price indexes are issued. In both cases, results are pivotally affected by prices of oil, iron ore and coal as well as the Australian dollar.
Other events of note include a speech by Sarv Girn, Chief Information Officer at the Reserve Bank on Wednesday. And data on new home sales is released on Friday together with the complete national accounts data for the 2015/16 year.
Overseas: US economic growth and "flash" manufacturing to dominate attention
Another bumper week of US economic events lies ahead including the first estimate of economic growth for the recently-completed September quarter.
The week kicks off on Monday in the US, with the release of National Activity Gauge. In addition, Markit releases the "flash" readings (or early estimates) of manufacturing activity is the US, Europe and Japan.
On Tuesday, the influential Richmond Federal Reserve survey results are issued with the usual weekly data on US chain store sales. In addition, both the Federal Housing Finance Agency and CaseShiller release estimates of home prices for August. CaseShiller estimate that home prices are up 5.0% on a year ago, while FHFA believe prices are up closer to 5.8%.
Also on Tuesday, the Conference Board issues its October estimates of consumer confidence. The index stands at 104.1, signifying that there are more optimists than pessimists.
On Wednesday, there are three US indicators for release – new home sales, the "flash" estimate of services sector activity and advance data on the trade balance – exports and imports. In addition, the usual weekly data on housing finance is issued.
On Thursday, there are another three US economic indicators on the agenda – durable goods orders (proxy for business investment), pending home sales and the Kansas City Federal Reserve survey. In addition, the usual week data on claims for unemployment insurance (jobless claims) is issued.
And on Friday, the first (or 'advance') estimate of economic growth for the September quarter is released. After a soft June quarter when the economy grew at just a 1.4% annual pace, economists expect that activity expanded at a healthier 2.5% annual rate in the September quarter.
The quarterly data on employment costs is also released on Friday – important for gauging future inflation and thus the implications for interest rates. The University of Michigan releases final estimates of consumer sentiment for October.
Share market, interest rates, currencies and commodities
The US earnings season remains in focus for investors in the coming week. But the US elections will also be top of mind given that there is just over two weeks to go to the November 8 poll.
Commodity prices are also very much in vogue as we highlighted a few weeks ago. Coal, iron ore and oil prices have been lifting, but agricultural prices aren't being left behind.
Sugar prices have lifted by 51% since the start of 2016 with cotton up 13% and beef up 4%.

The gift from an anonymous donor specifies that $5 million be used to support students, including scholarships and financial aid, as well as $500,000 to be used to assist the campus in meeting its other top priorities at the chancellor's discretion. In coming weeks, Shockley-Zalabak will share additional plans for the gift and for the use of funds.
Know your campus. What campus unit received more than 500,000 visitors last year? And how does the Kramer Family Library stack up when compared to libraries on other university campuses? Teri Switzer, dean, Kraemer Family Library, recently shared facts and figures about the department. See her presentation (.ppt)
U.S.-Korea relations. Foreign policy, security and the role of higher education are among the topics planned for a U.S.-Korea Foreign Relations Forum planned 9:30 a.m. to noon March 13 in University Center 302. Members of the campus community will be joined by U.S. Air Force Academy faculty, community members, and representatives from the U.S. Department of State, International Visitor's Program . The event is sponsored by the College of Education with assistance by the UCCS Center for Homeland Security. For more information, contact Debby Jennings, email@example.com, 255-3718.

Prius a hit. UCCS Police Department members shared their newest crime-fighting tools, two Toyota Prius patrol cars with the campus this week, drawing the attention of local media in addition to comments from faculty, staff and students. The hybrid-electric vehicles replace two 10 mpg SUV's and are expected to deliver more than 40 miles per gallon. (Video available on the MediaWatch page)
Making a difference. Efforts to reduce energy use on campus are making a measureable difference, according to Kevin Gilford, a UCCS graduate student working for the Office of Sustainability. Using a formula for energy use intensity, which combines natural gas and electricity use, Gilford has noted positive change in campus energy use. For example, the Science Building moved from a 140 energy use intensity rating in 2005 to 121 in 2008. The Kraemer Family Library moved from 106 in 2005 to 96 last year. For energy saving tips to improve this year's number in your campus building, take the conservation pledge (.pdf).
Dean candidate to visit. Marc Ingber, professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of New Mexico, will present to the campus at 4 p.m. March 12 in the University Center Theater. A reception will follow. He is a candidate for the position of dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

The Australian Diamonds took a significant step towards securing a major semi-final berth at the Netball World Cup SYDNEY 2015 after beating South Africa 66-31 in the qualification round.
The 35-goal victory at Allphones Arena lifts the Diamonds into top spot of Pool F with one match to play in the qualification rounds to determine the two teams that will advance to the semi finals against the top two sides from Pool E on Saturday.
A career-best shooting performance by Erin Bell at international level was the highlight of what was a clinical performance by the Diamonds.
In a brilliant display, Bell finished with 33 goals at 94 per cent accuracy in her first ever full game for Australia.
At the opposite end of the court, Sharni Layton was a dominant figure firstly at goal keeper and then at goal defence. She had an equal game-high seven intercepts along with five deflections and grabbed eight rebounds.
Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander mixed up her starting line-up and rested Julie Corletto, Caitlin Bassett and vice-captain Kimberlee Green.
Bell took advantage of being given her first starting position since the opening match against Trinidad & Tobago to get the Diamonds off to a flying start, scoring the first five goals of the game.
With Paige Hadley starting at wing attack and lively in the midcourt, Australia blitzed the Proteas in the opening minutes, scoring the opening 11 goals of the game before South Africa put up its first shot.
The Diamonds' defence of Layton and Rebecca Bulley only allowed the Proteas seven shots for the opening term while, at the other end, Bell and Caitlin Thwaites were in ominous form as Australia went to quarter-time with a commanding 23-5 lead.
It was Australia's best opening term of the tournament and equal best scoring quarter overall.
Bell continued to put on a shooting display in the second term as Australia continued to build on its lead. She had 18 goals on the board before her first miss came in the dying seconds on the half.
Alexander shuffled her midcourt and defence to start the second half with Kim Ravaillion given a well-deserved spell, Renae Hallinan taking over the centre bib and captain Laura Geitz coming onto the court at goal keeper.
Australia led by 33 goals at three-quarter time and South Africa enjoyed its most productive period of the match in the last term to avoid its lowest ever score against Australia at the Netball World Cup.
But the Diamonds maintained their 100 per cent winning record over the Proteas and also secured their second biggest victory against South Africa in their fifth Netball World Cup meeting.
Australia's final match of the qualification round is on Friday night against Wales at Allphones Arena in what will be the two countries first Netball World Cup meeting in 24 years.

Sunday, May 13
Good morning, TexMessagers! Happy Mother's Day– today in 1995, British mother Alison Hargreaves, aged 33, became the first woman to conquer Mount Everest without oxygen or the help of sherpas.
Planned Parenthood clinics have no right to public funding, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said earlier this week, adding that the clinics "promote" abortion and violate state policy.
Bloomberg News reported yesterday that Abbott filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals against a court order that requires Texas to continue to fund Planned Parenthood temporarily, though the state had planned to halt its funding this month.
"Texas has adopted a strong public policy preventing taxpayer funds from subsidizing the provision or promotion of elective abortion," Abbott said in the filed appeal. "The Constitution permits the government to convey its chosen message without funding those who would undermine that message."
Groups affiliated with Planned Parenthood sued the state of Texas last month "to block a regulation that would prevent the state from contracting with entities affiliated with abortion providers," Bloomberg News said.
In response, a federal judge in Austin issued an injection that prevents the state from cutting off public funds during the proceedings of the court challenge, which Abbott responded to with his appellate filing. The New Orleans-based appeals court will hear arguments on that case beginning June 7.

NCEAS Carbon Sequestration Working Group: Second Meeting
Dates: January 27 - 30, 1999
Joseph Tosi
Vicente Watson
Arturo Sanchez
Alex Pfaff
Suzi Kerr
David Schimel
Our second meeting was intense and we made a lot of concrete progress as well as raising many more interesting questions and avenues for exploration. We were extremely grateful for the smooth operation of NCEAS, which allowed us to focus our time and energies on the substantive not the logistic. We also greatly appreciated the opportunity to relax over delicious dinners after long days of vigorous discussion. The use of the NCEAS van allowed us to escape in the evenings and see a little more of the area (albeit in the dark).
On practical matters, the group identified several new approaches/sources for follow-on funding and discussed the dissemination of the results we are currently generating. We agreed to immediately put together an 'ideas' paper laying out the theory behind our study and the basic methodology and illustrating it with our preliminary results.
We were very pleased that both Dave Schimel and Arturo Sanchez were able to attend this meeting after missing the first. Their input in the project and at the meeting is critical. The meeting began with a discussion led by Suzi Kerr on the debate in Buenos Aires on the inclusion of carbon 'sinks', through sequestration in tropical forest, in the Clean Development Mechanism. She also gave some feedback on the progress of the IPCC report on forest sinks. Extensive discussion of the policy issues relating to the design of carbon sink credits ensued.
Detailed discussion of both a literature review prepared by Joseph Tosi and Vicente Watson and Dave Schimel's Century model led us to a much more sophisticated understanding of the ecological processes we are trying to model and the nature of the challenges. We both clarified the type of results we can most usefully seek and also identified two additional people who may be able to help us with particular aspects of the problem (Shugang Liu and Flint Hughes).
Detailed discussion of the GIS data available for Costa Rica, led by Arturo Sanchez, clarified exactly what the data represents, where it is stronger and weaker and what data we could seek that we do not currently have access to. The discussion between those whose models use the data and those who know the data intimately was extremely valuable. Alex Pfaff and Suzi Kerr presented the work they have done so far on land use changes using the data set Arturo Sanchez is constructing. The discussion with those with local historical knowledge and deep knowledge of the data sources led to significant changes in the future direction of the analysis.
The meeting was motivational for all of us, making us realise how much we have achieved already and how our strong empirical-grounding can potentially offer a uniquely credible basis for international policy on carbon sinks. Since the meeting we have all made significant progress, have been in frequent contact and hope to have integrated results to discuss at the next meeting as well as submitting a couple of articles in the meantime. Thanks again to all the NCEAS staff who helped make this another successful meeting.

The end of the Summer Reading program has arrived, and we will miss it! Thanks to everyone who took part. The outdoor movies were mostly a success. We watched Rango indoors due to rain. Rio was outside, though, on a beautiful night. Everyone had a good time, including (unfortunately) the mosquitos.
Our third Anime Halloween will be coming up on October 29th! I hope you can make it for anime, curry, and cosplaying! Dressing up is encouraged, but not compulsory.

As Ever!
We cannot insist enough on this point since it is directly linked to the reproductive performance of your herd (Table below). It is worth that even if the scale used to measure fleshing varies from 1 to 9 in the USA and from 1 to 5 in Canada, the principle remains the same: a "1" rating represents an animal of extreme thinness (0.5% of body fat), while the opposite rating ("5" or "9") is used to describe a highly obese animal (35% of body fat). The desirable rating at the time of calving is therefore "3" on the Canadian scale or "6" on the US scale. For heifers, it is even desirable to aim for a "3.5" (Can.) or "7" (USA).
Be careful not to exceed these limits! Cows that are too fat are
expensive to feed, have more calving problems and are less fertile. The
ideal time to evaluate the body condition of your cows is two to three
months before calving, which leaves you more than enough time to adjust
the diet of the females that are either too thin or too fat.

Working in a creative industry especially, I struggle daily when I have to wake up and walked 2 steps to get to my working space. It didn't inspire me, in fact, it stopped my brain from functioning and made me lazier than the piece of crap I already naturally am.
SO on February 2017, we moved in into our base camp.
We went to IKEA and got a TON of things, and stuffed them into my little Honda Brio.
I knew from early on that a creative space needs to be clear and inspiring. I convinced my officemates to settle with white and black, ..and loads of plants. Oddly enough, they were more concerned about the plants. I had to ASSURE then that it would be amazing to have greeneries. They still never admit that our office looks SMASHIN' because of the plants, despite the countless compliments we got on it.
and we dance in between shooting & editing & following up clients.
I love our little basecamp.

The Afternoon Date - Valentine's Thoughts
I've got my thoughts on Valentine's Day out there on the Internet, and here is another fantastic perspective from Katie today. Remember that many drop-in childcare services are around and about in the Triangle to help you with your romance. And regardless of what this Valentine's Day has in store for you, we love you, our readers, and appreciate you!:
Discovering the Southern Part of Heaven), but we pay more than cash for it. (Ask me how often I need a refill on my under-eye corrector).
When I read Leigh's post on her HinesSightBlog, Tinsel on a Christmas Tree Can Hang Longer than Parents Can at Night, I can only say that it had my name written all over it. She even says that maybe the daytime TV dramas are onto something with "Love in the Afternoon." I think she is right! In fact, I so think she is right that DH and I gave it a try. (No worries, I'm not going NC-17 on you here.). We booked a sitter for an afternoon and set out. We didn't feel guilty at all—H was down for his afternoon nap and we were free to explore a museum and have an early dinner. We headed over to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and had a wonderful afternoon learning that the Museum isn't just for children! Then, we grabbed a somewhat quick dinner in downtown Raleigh and, get this, we actually had great conversations where no one was "zoned out" from a long day at work or a long day of chores. There was no "well, maybe we should just head home early" talk, which we frequently have if we try to make it to dinner and a movie. Yes, we may have lost some cool factor we thought we had (emphasis on thought), but we had a seriously great time. And the best part: we were home and sleeping soundly at a very decent time of night!
Take it from this Mom in Chapel Hill, afternoon dates are completely underrated. Book a sitter, swap afternoon babysitting with a friend, head out while your child has a playdate. It doesn't have to be on Valentine's Day, but in the spirit of romance (or just a little grown-up time), give Love in the Afternoon a try. Who said date night had to be at night?

Are you familiar with the concept of a ley lines? Well, these are apparently special magical lines that run between ancient archaeological sites or monuments. If like me, you grew up devouring all the mystical books doing the rounds such as "Chariot of the Gods" by Erich Von Daniken, or "The Third Eye" by Lobsang T Rampa, then you will have no doubt come across these at some point, in fact, I'd be astonished if you had not heard of them, the concept has more or less embedded itself as a cultural meme these days.
So where did all this originally come from?
It was all started by a self-taught archaeologist, Alfred Watkins who in 1921 made the observation that ancient monuments appear to all line up and so he suggested that perhaps these had been setup like this in neolithic times as line-of-sight navigational markers. OK, that sounds a reasonable hypothesis, but of course the concept has been taken up and inflated into a far more groundless new-age belief.
As for the name "Ley" line, well apparently that was coined by Watkins when he observed that many of these lines passed through places that had names with "ley" in them. The word ley is a variant of lea, meaning grassland, clearing, or pasture, and as you might guess, towns and villages with that as part of the name are rather common in the UK.
The professionals dismissed his hypothesis at the time (and still do), for the following reasons
- In the UK there is a very high number of ancient sites, so the chances of finding straight lines that occur by chance is quite high
- Watkins used maps to identify his ancient markers, and so he did not go out and see if they could indeed have been utilized as navigational markers while trekking
Just using a map for such analysis does indeed have many problems. Its inaccurate due to problems of scale, a 1/4 mm line on a 1-inch to 1-mile map would in reality be a 50 foot wide path. As for the diversity of markers, well a fun illustration of that problem was the use of phone boxes, by archaeologist Richard Atkinson, to create a map of "telephone box leys". In other words, the mere existence of such lines in a set of points is not evidence, given enough points you can create your own "meaningful" magical lines from almost anything.
Now lets be clear, it is not Wakins who introduced all the modern hocus-pocus, that all came later. Wakins simply made an observation and formed a natural hypothesis to explain it. Others then looked at the evidence and did not find it compelling. If so, and it was not found to be viable, then why is the idea still abound, and where did all the mystical additions that we appear to have with us today come from?
Well, the next step was taken by the author, John Michell, who not only revived Watkins Ley lines, but he also blended them in with some feng shui in a 1969 book called "The View Over Atlantis" (Yes indeed, the very existence of "Atlantis" in the title here is a red flag). It was a popular book, and so it succeeded in starting the ley line concept as we now know it. Throughout the 70's other similar writers quickly embraced this basic idea, and refined it with suggestions that mixed in dowsing, new age beliefs, and also the idea that these ley lines were conductors for "spiritual" power.
Can anybody define with "Spiritual" power is? In fact, should there be a Spiritual Power company that needs to take responsibility for regulating the flow, should we also have spiritual power meters in our homes, and if so, who will bill us? – Yes OK, my point is that its a meaningless term, it does not describe anything that can be actually measured (but sounds impressive, and so helps to sell lots of books)
And so it was not really Watkins in 1921, but Michell who kick-started all these "Earth Mysteries" in 69.
Now for a bit of fun. The Mathematician, Matt Parker, wrote a nice take down of all this in the Guardian a few days ago that is entitled … "Did aliens establish a primitive postcode system in ancient Britain?", so what is his article all about? Well how about this astonishing fact.
The house I live in is at the convergence of three ley lines between ancient monuments, and that includes one coming directly from Stonehenge, (Oh, I can feel the magic power flowing through my fingers right now. I'm truly special.
Don't panic, I've not suddenly turned a pale shade of woo, in fact, the key Point is that there are enough ancient sites in the UK to enable you to place every single postcode at the convergence of three or more ley lines between ancient monuments, so I'm not the only special one, everybody is equally special. Dam, the secret is out now, those ancient aliens are obviously still with us, you and I know them as … "The Post Office".
To illustrate all this, there is a website created by a smart chap called Tom Scott, and as a piece of satire that mocks all this, I love it. No matter where you are in the UK, you can key in your postcode and it will quickly tell you about the 3 or more ley lines the converge at that point, thus proving you are currently at a hub of "spiritual" power (no need to trek to Stonehenge)
You can find Tom's website here.
So there you have it them, every single inch of the UK is a special magical place where ley lines just happen to converge. If you are you still a believer, then pause and remember, this was all the fallout from a desire to craft a popular book, is not in any way related to reality or measuring anything real. Pluck out enough points from a map, and you quickly find that easiest person to fool is perhaps yourself, for the true wonder here is that sitting between your ears is an amazingly powerful pattern recognition engine that will often throw up false positives, and yield meaning and patterns where none exist.
