Here at SNOWBOARDER Magazine, we decided to break the mold of traditional snowboard reviews and embark on a completely unbiased blank snowboard test last winter, called The Blackboard Experiment. We hit up ten brands in snowboarding and asked them to provide us with a snowboard of their choice, but the one caveat was that it had to have a black topsheet and base graphic, so as to keep the anonymity of the brand only between them and us. Then, we partnered with Mammoth Mountain, California because of their hallowed Main Park, a trail that has done more for freestyle snowboarding and terrain park design than almost any other mountain on Earth. We selected 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic gold medalist Sage Kotsenburg to ride the boards and record his experiences, because, one: he didn't have a board sponsor, and two: Sage is one of the best park riders our sport has ever seen. Last April, Sage made the trek to Mammoth for five days of extreme testing. From sunup to sundown, he was strapped into one of these blank decks and when he wasn't riding them, he was jotting notes about how they rode on jumps, jibs, tranny and on the trail. The result is the most comprehensive snowboard test that we've ever put together. Below, you'll see exactly what Sage thought of these boards without him knowing what brand made them, so read on and take notes, because he will give you all the info you need, from tip to tail. This is SNOWBOARDER Magazine's 2016 Blackboard Experiment.

When SNOWBOARDER invited DC to participate in the Blackboard Test, they gave us a few identifying characteristics of the snowboarder who would be testing the boards. They identified the rider's height, weight, snowboarding style and preferred terrain. We made the assumption that this rider would be riding the snowboard park at Mammoth at a professional level. With that in mind, we instantly thought of Torstein and his new Media Blitz 154. The Media Blitz is a high performance snowboard that offers our Tips Up technology, featuring a stable ride in a reduced length, as well as the versatility of a double camber profile. Ultimately, we designed the DC Media Blitz to dominate perfectly groomed parks and rails, like Mammoth's Unbound Main Park. — Dave Appel, DC Global Hardgoods Director

The board holds turns well, but doesn't initiate them too quickly. I'm still trying to figure out where it's soft. When I jumped, it held and felt like a stiffer board and once you get into a carve, it rails so hard that you can fully go uphill. - Sage Kotsenburg, first impression of the DC Media Blitz
Jib Score: 6
I felt locked onto the rail as soon as I was hitting it, but when I was on the runway or riding away from it, it felt like it was hard to adjust where I took off or where I was immediately headed when I landed. It holds the line and can be hard to make mini-adjustments coming into and riding out of a rail.
Jump Score: 6
I didn't feel super confident in the air. I think it's more because of the sidecut and effective edge. It feels like you're kind of locked into your line and it's hard to quickly adjust yourself on the take off or landing.
Tranny Score: 7
It was really fun in the pipe. I think pipe is where a board like this will excel. When I found the line I wanted, the board would lock in and since it's not easy to get out of the locked-in edge, it was easy to pump speed. I was surprising myself with how high I was airing out.
Carve Score: 5
Some of the cons that I didn't like was that it didn't respond that fast, but once you were in a carve, it was awesome. In the slush it was hard to navigate a good line. In slushy conditions, you want a really fast board to adjust to where you're going in case there's a big pile of wet snow, but it was a little harder to quickly adjust my line in those types of conditions and when turning.
Overall Score: 24

Happy Campers - Children with Allergies
The first summer Anastasia Poulos went to sleep-away camp, her favorite activity was the scavenger hunt. Being there, however, was only possible because Anastasia's mother had embarked on a serious hunt of her own—to find a camp where her food-allergic daughter would be safe.
Gail Poulos of Silver Spring, Maryland, wanted to find a place where Anastasia, then 13, could enjoy traditional camp activities, including canoeing, hiking and sitting around a campfire. She found it on the shores of Lake Wabamun in Alberta, Canada, a summer camp run by the Allergy Asthma Information Association (AAIA).
For the past five years, AAIA has offered a week of summer camp for food-allergic kids. These campers, about 20 of a total of 85 kids, are integrated into the regular camp program. The only difference is that AAIA prepares their meals in a separate kitchen overseen by a dietician.
"It's the first time a lot of these kids actually feel they're like everybody else," says Lilly Byrtus, who started and runs the camp.
Anastasia, who has a life-threatening allergy to milk, formed special bonds of friendship at this camp when she was 13 and returned when she was 15.
"The camp showed her that she wasn't alone with her condition," says Poulos. "But my favorite thing is that it provided a safe but challenging environment for food-allergic kids and that children without allergies also attended. What a great learning experience for all the children."
Moms in the Kitchen
Pamela Jann of Howell, Michigan, wanted a camp environment where her son David, 11, and other food-allergic children could "feel normal." After years of sending David to camp with a cooler full of food, she and fellow-mom Deanna Seng decided to take charge.
The two commandeered the kitchen at Camp Westminster, a sleep-away camp on Higgins Lake in northern Michigan. They researched the food, created a menu and served a group of food-allergic campers a variety of kid-friendly meals, including spaghetti, meatballs, toast and waffles—all without gluten, dairy and peanuts.
This time, there was no need for a cooler for David Jann, who has multiple food sensitivities and a life-threatening allergy to dairy. He didn't have to heat up the food himself or go to the dining hall early to make sure the staff hadn't forgotten about his meal.
"It never occurred to me that David's favorite thing about camp would be eating family style," Jann says. "This was a big thing for these kids—that everybody was eating the same food."
Many children had never tasted standard camp fare like s'mores before.
"They were just thrilled," recalls Jann. "The look on their faces made the whole experience for me."
Gina Clowes of Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, has sent her son Daniel, now 8, to day camps in the past, selected more for safety than fun. Even so, it wasn't unusual for Clowes to accompany the boy, who is allergic to milk, wheat, egg, tree nuts and peanut, because she felt uneasy about the level of care.
"Reactions can come on suddenly and snowball within minutes," she says, adding that camp can pose special risks, such as hiking to remote areas and teen counselors with little experience.
This summer, Clowes, who is founder of the online support group AllergyMoms and author of a children's book about food allergies, is doing something different. She and friends are opening a half-day camp for children with food allergies called One of the Gang. Sponsored by AllergyMoms and For Your Good Health, a nonprofit operated by a local allergist, the camp will be "95 percent fun and 5 percent education," teaching campers to advocate for themselves, Clowes says. The camp in Cranberry Township, a northern suburb of Pittsburgh, will also offer parents opportunity to share stories and tips while their kids are busy with activities.
Next summer, Clowes plans to expand to a full-day camp and then a sleep-away camp the following year.
"I intend to do it step by step," she says, adding that a top goal of the camp is to promote camaraderie so that "these kids know they're not the only ones with food allergies."
Choosing a Camp
Most parents don't have the time or inclination to start up their own camp. So short of doing it yourself, how do you ensure that your child has a fun and safe summer camp experience? It's all about education, awareness and communication, says Anne Munoz-Furlong, founder of the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). FAAN offers helpful advice in its Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies at Camp. The good news is that more camps than ever before are getting on board with food allergies and working with parents to provide a safe atmosphere, Munoz-Furlong says.
Where to start? If you're look at mainstream camps, narrow your search by selecting those accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), says Linda Ebner Erceg, executive director of the Association of Camp Nurses. "They're more likely to have an allergy plan in place."
Erceg recommends contacting your top camp choices and asking questions: What is the camp's food-allergy management plan? Where is medication stored? How close is the nearest medical facility? Is staff trained to handle allergy emergencies? Is a nurse available?
It's also important to ask about off-site trips. Campers sign up for the whole outdoor experience, Erceg says. Anaphylaxis "doesn't typically occur at the nurse's knee."
Parents need to follow their instincts about what type of camping experience is appropriate for their child, Munoz-Furlong says. A camp in the middle of nowhere is probably not the best location for a child with a history of severe allergic reactions. A child's age and comfort level speaking up about their health should also be factored in.
"These kids are hiking in remote areas and may be playing out on a lake, far from camp and main roads. There is often no phone signal," Munoz-Furlong says. "Parents must think about these scenarios before sending their kids off. You don't want to imagine your child in a crisis situation but if you don't have the discussions and have a worst-case plan, you're not protecting your child or your peace of mind."
How are meals handled? Parents should research the camp menu and closely communicate with camp officials. These conversations are important even at camps specifically geared for allergies so that all expectations are clearly understood, says Munoz-Furlong. For example, what exactly does "peanut free" mean? Is food allowed in sleeping areas? Are care packages freely shared?
Parents should work with the appropriate camp staff to customize a meal plan that fits their child. Wildwood Camp in LaCygne, Kansas, provides parents with the menu well in advance so that meals can be supplemented as necessary. Parents send home-prepared meals in coolers marked with their children's name and the food is stored in the camp refrigerator. "For us, success is based on collaborating with parents," says Jose Cornejo, Wildwood's co-executive director.
If possible, parents should visit the camp before it starts. How is the kitchen set up? What's the risk of cross contamination? If parents can't visit beforehand, they should tour upon arrival.
Based on early discussions with camp officials, Gail Poulos decided to provide her daughter's food and even bring a microwave for Anastasia's exclusive use to avoid the risk of cross contamination. When she arrived, Poulos met with the dietician and camp director and toured the kitchen and dining area.
Once you find the camp that meets your child's idea of fun and measures up to safety standards, prepare an emergency info pack. It should include written instructions about the allergy and how to handle a reaction, up-to-date medications and a recent photo of your child. Make sure your child understands everything about the meal regimen and the camp's allergy safety plan and that he or she can clearly verbalize needs.
Then with all safety precautions in place, the slate is cleared for fun.
Anastasia Poulos, now 17, says she would love to return to AAIA camp one day as a counselor.
"I would teach the kids that they can surpass any obstacles if they set their minds to it," she says. "Nothing should stop them from living their dreams."
If those dreams include attending camp, it's important for all parties involved to communicate about the best way to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
"We have to keep our own concerns in check—give our kids the ability to be like everyone else but create that safe environment for them," says Munoz-Furlong says. "Everybody has a story about when they went to camp. You want to make sure that there are happy memories and that the story is a good one." LW

At this point I don't think anyone has escaped notice that the markets have been on a whirlwind over the past week with the DJIA dropping almost 1,100 points in early trading Monday morning. However, that just means that excellent companies are offering up much better long term valuation prospects. One such company that has been on my target list for a while now has been The J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM). J.M. Smucker closed trading on Tuesday, August 25th at $106.85 giving a current yield of 2.51%.
The following tables/graphs are taken from my personal stock analysis spreadsheet. Data for the stock analysis was sourced from The J.M. Smucker Company's investor relations page, Morningstar, and Yahoo Finance.
Historic Growth Rates:
Historically, owners of J.M. Smucker have earned solid returns. According to longrundata.com, SJM has delivered investors a total return of 219.6% or 12.3% annualized returns over the last 10 years. Those numbers are market returns at specific snapshots in time and aren't necessarily indicative of the business results over the same time period. Looking at the historic growth rates for per share dividends, earnings, revenue, and free cash flow gives a better idea of the true operational results that J.M. Smucker has delivered.

During the festive season, I kept up with many of the social media platforms and was shocked to read about the number of accident-related deaths and injuries people were plagued with.
A person living in the same neighbourhood as me was severely injured in an accident and the driver of the other vehicle which smashed into him was found to be drunk.
Police had set up numerous road blocks at various points in order to deter drivers from drinking and driving, however, this seemed to prove futile as certain people leak information and drivers who have been drinking avoid the road block areas and find an alternative route to their destination.
My main concern is the number of deaths and the number of lives affected by one person's negligence. I hope that something effective can be done to stop these selfish drivers from raising the death toll whenever they drive drunk.

See Inside MWC, The Giant Mobile Industry Trade Show In Barcelona
Business InsiderI've been in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress (MWC) since Saturday.
MWC is a trade show for the mobile industry. It's freaking gigantic. I've never been to MWC, or CES, so I've been overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the whole thing.
I spent two days taking photos of what it's like to walk around. Hopefully you get a sense of how big this whole event is.

Jhajjar, September 14
The Right to Information (RTI) Act has helped expose alleged large-scale embezzlement at the community health centre at Bahadurgarh in the district.
Information gathered from the records of the centre under the Act reveals that several medical officers, who collected various kinds of fees from patients, did not deposit the same with the cashier and an amount running into thousands of rupees remained outstanding against them.
Following the filing of an application seeking details of the pending fees against medical officers, especially medical legal report (MLR) fee, nearly 20 doctors who were either posted here or had served here during the past six years were "forced" to part with thousands of rupees, which they had allegedly pocketed after charging from patients.
The senior medical officer (SMO), Dr N.K. Jain, has also recommended departmental action against certain medical officers.
However, documents provided by the SMO, who also serves as PIO to the applicant, Naresh Joon, reveal that many medical officers rushed to clear their dues after Joon filed the petition.
Admitting irregularities, the SMO said he had written to the chief medical officer at Jhajjar for appropriate action in this regard as the fees was still pending against some doctors.
As per the documents, two medical officers deposited Rs 5,500 on December 12, 2006, which was charged from patients during their tenure from March, 2003, to November, 2006. On January 15, 2007, seven doctors deposited Rs 16,000 pending against them.
Dr Anil Rathi deposited Rs 2,200 (fee of 22 MLRs) while he had issued 60 MLRs from January, 2004, to November, 2006. Moreover, the hospital authorities claimed that his record for the previous two years were missing.
Similarly, on February 10, Rs 28,000 was deposited by 10 doctors which had been pending against them since 1998. Dr Subh Jyoti Prakash deposited Rs 7,500, which he had charged from patients from 1998 to 2006. Five other doctors cleared an amount of Rs 11,000.
Joon had applied for this information on December 5, 2006. After dithering for months, the PIO had asked him to cough up about Rs 5 lakh as fee. Joon, however, moved the SIC, which ordered the PIO to furnish all information within 15 days and also exempted him from paying any fee.
Alleging that the irregularities were of a serious nature, Joon has demanded a probe into these. "Keeping government money with themselves for as long as five years amounts to embezzlement. If the health authorities fail to act in this case, I will move court," he stated.

I wrote this a tthe time of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," when many people in America were debating the limits of free speech during a time of war. The idea of writing it as a bogus Elizabethan verse play was simply to take the audience out of 21st-Century America so a larger, more universal issue could be addressed. I will always be indebted to Joel Helms, Mike Hicks, and Mark Wells for tackling this challenging script the first time.
The difference in viewpoints between these two young men escalates until they have drawn their swords and are slashing at each other. (Spoiler: It ends the way you might expect.)
The play has been performed several times in my home town since, with some intriguing responses. Many people feel strongly that it advocates one point of view, while others think it argues successfully for the opposing view. I couldn't be happier with this result! Engaging people's interest and intellect is much more interesting to me than bombarding them with my opinions.
A nice opportunity for two actors who specialize in silent expression! A pair of maintenance workers listen in escalating astonishment as their employers complain about how difficult their own lives are and how hard they work.
I imagine we've all felt like them at one time or another. In fact, this play's dialogue comes -- almost word-for-word -- from a conversation two of my employers held within my hearing at one of the temp jobs I did as a young man.
Once you've read the play you'll understand why I hasten to add that I did NOT respond the way the maintenance people in this play do.
I may have thought about it, but I didn't do it.
It's a little morality play, with a sobering question at the end.
Two desperate radicals in some faraway land have stolen a vial of deadly germs -- a few ounces of fluid that could kill millions. It's all part of a plan to blackmail the governments of the world into making peace with one another.
But can peace ever truly be attained through force?
Midnight on a deserted section of highway. Driving himself and his girlfriend back to college from summer vacation, brilliant but brooding Franklin Griffith suddenly stops the car and gets out, disappearing into the darkness.
Maria finds him sitting on the center line, staring into the seemingly-limitless gloom ahead. She tells him he can't stay there, and he says he can't leave.
In the confrontation that follows, Frank learns that Maria is wiser than he'd ever realized.
Over the years, I have somehow managed to end up in the exam room of the most incompetent and just-plain-bizarre doctors in town. This play is a recollection of some of the more noteworthy encounters I've had with people who -- in my opinion -- should perhaps be in other lines of work. Lines of work that would keep them away from other human beings.
Before it's over, though, the play becomes a big valentine to Dr. David Aizenmen, who I feel sure is the best general practitioner in the entire world even though I can't possibly verify that claim. It's simply one of those things one knows to be true without complete evidence.
In any case, all the stories are completely true and not even exaggerated for comic effect. There are lots of characters but it's written to be performed by as few as three people.

Ian Anderson speculates about the deadly Ebola virus and whether it could have reached Australia.
I should say at the outset that what I am about to outline is highly fanciful.
Ebola is a disease which, in its most acute form can cause uncontrollable haemorraghing and certain death.
Could this horrible disease - chronicled so vividly in bestsellers like 'The Hot Zone' and the Dustin Hoffman movie, 'Outbreak' - have reached Australia?
There is not the slightest bit of evidence to say that this has happened. To make the claim, you have to tie together 3 seemingly unrelated elements.
1. Ebola is in The Philippines, part of our region of the world
2. When 19 different kinds of animal were inoculated with Ebola in Africa, only one species showed signs of the virus - the bat
3. Bats can travel a long way; their range can be over 1 million square kilometres and they can fly up to 200 kilometres at a time.
In other words, it is theoretically possible that if they are a host of Ebola, bats could bring it to Australia from The Philippines, probably by way of Papua New Guinea.
Indeed, a world expert on exotic viruses, C.J. Peters from the Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, told me a few weeks ago, that Ebola Reston, the strain from The Philippines, could well be in Australia and we are just not aware of it.
Also, John Mackenzie, a specialist in these matters from the University of Queensland, says that we can' t simply dismiss the scenario of Ebola reaching Australia, no matter how far-fetched it might seem.
The fact that two prominent scientists, representatives of a normally cautious breed, are willing to stick their necks out, suggests that there are some lessons to learn here - or at lease some warning signs that deserve attention.
Bats, both the fruit-eating kind and the insectivorous bats, have been implicated in the deaths of 3 people in Australia in recent years and illness in a number of others. They are the hosts of Equine Morbillivirus, or Hendra Megamyxo virus as the scientists want to call it these days, and Australian Bat Lyssavirus which is rabies in all but name.
They have also been implicated in other diseases. Antibodies to a fatal disease in pigs have been found in fruit bats in New South Wales. A researcher in Queensland believes that fruit bats in Cairns could be a reservoir for Ross River Fever and Mackezie is exploring the possibility that bats could bring Japanese Encephalitis to Australia from islands to the north.
Many questions are raised and so far there are no too many answers. Where are the viruses coming from? Are they endemic to Australia or have they come from elsewhere? How long have they been around? Why have there been comparatively few cases in humans? Is infection of humans rare or have we just been lucky and are we witnessing the start of a major public health problem? How are the diseases transmitted? These are fundamental questions that, at the moment cannot be answered.
The answers that we do have only lead to more questions. For example, studies of hundreds of fruit bats of 3 different species from locations as far apart as Melbourne and Cape York and across to Darwin, have shown that about 50% carry antibodies to Equine Morbillivirus. Given that the virus is so widespread in bats, does this mean it has been around for decades or even longer? We just don't know.
One vital question being investigated by researchers at CSIRO's Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong, is whether or not Australian Bat Lyssavirus can infect cats anddogs. With its rabies-like symptoms, that could be very important information.
There is a great danger in all of this that the bat will be seen as Public Enemy Number One and that the animal will become a victim of attack. But the bat is an essential part of our ecology and many native plants are dependent on it for spreading seeds and for pollination.
The reason that these diseases are emerging could very well be a result of human action. We could be paying the price of many years of clearing land that was traditionally bat habitat, especially around towns and cities. We reap what we sow.
Questioning the wisdom of land clearance is one thing we can do. Education is another. How much do people know about bats? Very little, I suspect.
Greater vaccination against rabies by those at risk is another measure. It is worrying that a recent survey of Queensland health found that many people who are in contact with bats seek help after they are bitten or scratched, when treatment is more rigorous and expensive, rather than being vaccinated before being exposed.
And should we be treating bats and viruses more as a public health issue rather than as a threat to livestock, which is how it has tended to be viewed in the past. The recent case in Mackay suggest we should. Among other things, that will mean more research funding. Funding for the bat lyssavirus work at the Animal Health Laboratory was due to run out this month. Again, with the case in Mackay, that may have to be reviewed.

Text: Pope's plane interview
On Tuesday morning, during his flight to Cameroon, the Holy Father responded to a number of questions put to him by journalists accompanying him on the papal plane.
"For some time, and in particular since your Letter to Catholic bishops concerning the remission of excommunication on the four bishops consecrated by Archbishop Lefebvre", asked one journalist, "many newspapers speak of the 'solitude' of the Pope. What is your view on this? Do you really fell alone?"
"To tell the truth I cannot help laughing a little about this myth of my solitude. I do not feel alone at all. Every day I hold meetings with my closest collaborators, first among them the secretary of State. ... Truly, I am surrounded by friends in a marvellous collaboration with bishops, with my collaborators, and with lay people, and I am grateful for this".
Asked about the impact of the world economic crisis on poor countries, and whether he would examine this theme in his forthcoming Encyclical, the Holy Father said: "A fundamental element of the crisis is precisely a lack of ethics in financial structures; it has been understood that ethics are not something 'outside' the economy but 'inside' it, and the economy does not work if it does not contain the ethical component".
Referring then to his next Encyclical on social themes, the Holy Father said: "It was on the point of being published when this crisis broke out and we held the text back in order to respond more adequately; within the ambit of our competencies, within the ambit of the Church's Social Doctrine, but with reference to the real facts of the current crisis. Thus I hope that the Encyclical may also become an element, a force to help overcome the current difficult moment".
The Pope also replied to a question concerning the specific relevance for Africa of the Catholic Church's position on sects.
"We, unlike some of them, do not announce a Gospel of prosperity, but Christian realism. We do not announce miracles, as some do, but the sobriety of Christian life. We are convinced that all this sobriety and realism which announce a God Who became man (therefore a profoundly human God a God Who also suffers with us) give meaning to our own suffering. In this way, announcement has a broader horizon and a greater future. We also know that these sects are not very stable. ... The announcement of prosperity, of miraculous healing, etc., may do good in the short term, but we soon see that life is difficult, that a human God, a God Who suffers with us, is more convincing, truer, and offers greater help for life".
Answering a question on the Catholic Church's approach to HIV/AIDS, considered by some as unrealistic and ineffective, the Pope said:
"It is my belief believe that the most effective presence on the front in the battle against HIV/AIDS is in fact the Catholic Church and her institutions. ... The problem of HIV/AIDS cannot be overcome with mere slogans. If the soul is lacking, if Africans do not help one another, the scourge cannot be resolved by distributing condoms; quite the contrary, we risk worsening the problem. The solution can only come through a twofold commitment: firstly, the humanisation of sexuality, in other words a spiritual and human renewal bringing a new way of behaving towards one another; and secondly, true friendship, above all with the suffering, a readiness - even through personal sacrifice - to stand by those who suffer".

'Bag tax' could rake in £90m
SCOTLAND's economy could be boosted by £90million if shoppers are charged for carrier bags, it was claimed yesterday.
A Scottish Government report says that imposing charges on all carrier bags would reduce waste, litter and improve the environment.
But the organisation has not provided a detailed breakdown of how they arrive at that figure.
Some shops already charge for bags but Scottish Government ministers want all stores to impose a minimum fee of 5p per bag after next October.
Link to: www.twitter.com/scotexpress <http://www.twitter.com/scotexpress>
The proceeds from sales would be donated to charities and environmental groups.
The Scottish Government previously said the charge could raise up to £5million a year for good causes, along with a host of other valuable savings in waste reduction.
It added that a consultation found Scottish residents supported bringing in a charge.
But critics hit out at the proposals, saying they will hinder businesses with red tape.
Tory environment spokesman, Jamie McGrigor, said: "It's all very well saying this is a move to safeguard the environment, but that's of no consolation to struggling retailers who are being lumbered with more costly red tape.
"And people who find it hard enough to pay their weekly shopping bill are going to find there's yet another charge to contend with.
"We'd prefer to see an incentive-based scheme brought in, which could see shoppers rewarded – something that will make it easy for businesses to run if they want to."
The Scottish Government says that one-off costs relating to the bag charge will cost retailers £1.7million. These costs will include altering tills to process and itemise the charge on receipts, train staff and communicate
changes. Annual costs to larger retailers of keeping records and reporting on the change are estimated at £1.5million.
People who find it hard enough to pay their weekly shopping bill are going to find there's yet another charge to contend with
Scottish Ministers insist that the measures will be "cost-neutral" to retailers and say they will negotiate an agreement on donating the net proceeds of the charge.
South of the Border, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has said it is examining the evidence from Wales and wants to work with shops in England to reduce waste. But the UK Government has not yet proposed a
mandatory charge on bags.
Scottish Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead has stated that the charge "has been effective in encouraging people to reuse bags" in other areas of the UK.
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "There will always be some costs associated with the introduction of any new initiative.
"However, the report clearly shows the overwhelming result will be a positive one for the environment and for the taxpayer, with cleaner streets and countryside as well as less waste."

The Importance of Visual Imagery in Fiction and Fanfiction
Hello folks!
Here's another great guest post, this time from writer Joy Paley, who may not be a fanfiction writer herself, but I found her advice very helpful for my fanfiction work. Hope ya'll do, too.
Show Me, Don't Tell Me: The Importance of Visual Imagery in Fiction
– A Guest Post by Joy Paley
If you know anything about the basic craft of creative writing, you've most certainly heard the oft repeated "show, don't tell." What many teachers might not offer are the different techniques you can use to show, instead of telling. Here are some of the best tools to have in your writer's arsenal, to keep your prose active and exciting.
1. Dialogue
Dialogue is one of the most powerful ways you can flesh out a character, without getting boring or obvious.
Take this dialogue from The Great Gatsby; Daisy and Gatsby, long lost lovers, have just been reunited and their meeting is full of awkward happiness. Daisy appears to be crying for no reason, while looking at a stack of Gatsby's clothes:
"They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such — such beautiful shirts before."
The narrator of the story could have said, "Daisy seemed simultaneously ecstatic and scared upon seeing Gatsby," but these two sentences of dialogue, where Daisy makes excuses for her spontaneous crying, say it all in a much more nuanced way.
2. Specific Details
Generic details like the line, "he was angry" are a classic symptom of telling and not showing. Hone in on details that are specific to your characters and setting, not that anyone could experience at any place or time.
See how Huck Finn describes his Pap's anger in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn:
"Then the old man got to cussing and cussed everything and everybody he could think of, and then cussed them all over again to make sure he hadn't skipped any, and after that he polished off with a kind of a general cuss all round…"
Huck's account of his Pap's anger lets the reader know that Pap is experiencing a very specific type of drunken anger. It's related to the situation and the person being described and is not a generic, interchangeable sentence that could be found in any book or essay.
3. Avoid Clichés
A paragraph can be proofread and well-written, but if it's got a cliche in it, it becomes dull and laborious to read. Why?
A cliché is a metaphor, gone stale; it no longer offers layers of meaning or description, because readers have heard it so much they don't actually consider the comparison being made anymore.
Take this description of a black Mary statue from the popular bildungsroman The Secret Life of Bees:
"She was black as could be, twisted like driftwood from being out in the weather, her face a map of all the storms and journeys she'd been through."
Do you think you would have the same exciting visual of this statue if the metaphor was "she was black as coal" or " she was black as tar"? Those tired cliches don't even bring an image into your mind, but the excellent metaphor above certainly does.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in the county of Devon where they worked as dairy farmers. The surname is both local and occupational, since it describes where the original bearers lived and what work they did. The surname was originally derived from the Old English word cwic. Occupational names that were derived from the common trades of the medieval era transcended European cultural and linguistic boundaries. In this case the surname Quicklay was originally derived from the principal object associated with the activity of the original bearer; dairy farming. These types of occupational surnames are called metonymic surnames.
Quicklay Early Origins
Devon where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Quicklay Spelling Variations
Quicklay Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Quicklay are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Quicklay include: Quick, Quicke, Quig, Quigg, Quegg and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Quicklay or a variant listed above: Richard Quick, who arrived in Virginia in 1651; Elizabeth Quicke settled with her husband in St. Christopher in 1634; Thomas Quicke was banished to Barbados in 1685.

Thanks for Flexbar, it's perfect!
does what it says. fast
Hi aue0618! Yes you are right - there was a bug introduced that got fixed in the latest version! Thanks for the hint- just download 2.13 and it should work again!
I like your program, but the reporting of the stats is a little confusing for Pair end data. It is not easy to understand how many PAIRS you have removed based on it not passing one of the filters. If one of the pairs contains an N, you report 1 read (of two total) containing an N, but you also remove the other reads (as you should) but you don't report this number. So if BOTH reads contained the N, you ALSO report 1 for the Discard N but still only remove 1 read pair....Even though there are 2 reads with an N Also, it seems that the USED field is always the same as the READS IN FILE field...I would have expected the USED field to be READS IN FILE minus DISCARD_B minus DISCARD_QUAL Or am I missing something ?
Output files are truncated when processing sanger-fastq using this command-line: flexbar -n 32 -t flexbar-3 -f fastq-sanger -s 121025_0005_000000000-A2056_1.sanfastq -a linker3.fasta -ae RIGHT -at 1 -aa -m 15 >flexbar-3.fastq.log 2>&1 I've not looked at the sources, but it might be a failure to flush the ouput stream.

This radical first course on complex analysis brings a beautiful and powerful subject to life by consistently using geometry (not calculation) as the means of explanation. Although aimed at the complete beginner, professional mathematicians and physicists will also enjoy the fresh insights afforded by this unusual approach.
I can only describe this book as amazing...it is not an exaggeration to say that there are gems in every section...even familiar facts are frequently explained in refreshingly new ways in this wonderful book....If your budget limits you to buying only one mathematics book in a year then make sure that this is the one that you buy.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is no stranger to supporting a Republican presidential nominee that has bested him in the primaries, said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz "walked in tall and walked out small" by giving a speech Wednesday night that did not include an endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
In the speech, Cruz urged Americans to vote. But unlike speakers who urged support for the GOP, Cruz said they should "vote their conscience."
"The question of the night was whether Ted Cruz would honor his word and support the nominee or earn the moniker 'Lyin Ted' given to him by the man who won," Huckabee wrote on Facebook.

Huckabee noted that Cruz could either focus on his wants or the nation's needs, and chose the former.
TRENDING: Megyn Kelly Reveals What She Did for Fox News Execs at Audition: 'I Am Still Humiliated That I Did It'
"The question was whether Cruz would make his speech about HIS future or the future of the country. And that question was answered when Ted Cruz chose to not keep his word that he (along with me and every other GOP candidate) gave one year ago in that very arena where tonight he put his own ambitions above country."
Huckabee said Cruz was given a precedent-breaking opportunity, and squandered it.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Donald Trump did something no previous nominee has done — he allowed Ted Cruz to speak without his promising to support the nominee. Trump trusted Ted and was rewarded with a betrayal, but the delegates in that arena booed Cruz off the stage and out of Cleveland," Huckabee wrote.
Huckabee said the Cruz debacle is not about policy, but honesty.
" … when a person gives his word, he should keep it," Huckabee wrote. "When a person is treated with generosity to give a speech, he should either respond with respect or graciously decline. And when a person loses, he should accept the will of the voters and then offer support to the victor of the primary to defeat the anti-gun, pro-abortion, incompetent, dishonest, and dishonorable nominee of the Democrat party."
Huckabee acknowledged that Cruz's supporters may see the speech in a different light.

"But from where I sit, I didn't see a statesman step forth for the country's future. I saw a self-absorbed politician grab the microphone and try to line up his own future. Ted walked in tall and walked out small," Huckabee wrote.

New Insight Article: How a Hi-Tech Company Can Engage in K-12 Education
One of the most praiseworthy things a company can do is help nurture the next generation of the communities in which it operates, by engaging in K-12 – especially school age – educational activity. There are numerous ways to do this, starting with simple money donations and ending with sophisticated, lively joint activities that apply the company's people to do good in the local or national education system. Over the years I've been involved in K-12 programs in numerous ways, from when I took charge of creating Intel's college relations activity in Israel in the early 90's, through personal action..
