Plants can create an interior style of their own or can be used to enhance existing decorations in your home. Flowering plants add a further dimension by either complementing or contrasting with interior color schemes.
The architectural style of your apartment, its proportions and the way it is decorated will affect the choice of plants you display there. Traditional interiors tend to suit small plants that complement fabrics, wallpapers and other furnishings. Starkly decorated modern rooms can take a bolder statement in the form of larger, more sculptural plants. The other main considerations to take into account when selecting plants for your home are the size of the plants in relation to the room area, the way that they grow and their shape and color.
Plants and Scale
If plants are to make a positive addition to an interior, they must he compatible with the space in terms of both size and shape. A large specimen, for example, needs a spacious, high ceilinged room in order to spread its elegant, arching branches and to make a suitably dramatic impact. These large indoor plants generally grow very slowly, and are cultivated in a wide range of heights, so if the room requires a 2 nil6 ft palm, select one at that height or slightly smaller, you could wait a longtime for a 1 m/3 ft specimen to fill the space you have allowed for it.
The lush, bushy shapes of Soleirolia soleirolii make an ideal choice for a low coffee table. These plants can tolerate bright, indirect light or semi-shady conditions. If you want height and a compact shape, select a climbing plant that can be trained to grow up a moss pole or bamboo stake. Ivies will naturally wrap themselves around poles and stakes and with a little pruning can be trained into the desired shape very easily. Several ivy plants grown together in a large container soon make a tower of green or variegated foliage.
Tiered Displays
Shelving is another useful way to gain height, with the added advantage that you can display a range of plants in oneself contained unit. A multi-tiered etagere is a specially designed piece of plant furniture, consisting of an upright from which stem six or seven small square or circular shelves. It is often made from wrought iron, and was particularly popular in Victorian times. Originals are much sought after, but authentic reproductions are now available thanks to the revived popularity of conservatories.
As a variation, you could create a striped sandwich effect by interspersing green plants with seasonal colors. The advantage of fixed shelving is that it can be used to combine both display areas for plants and storage for other items. Fitting triangular shelves in the corner of a room is an economical way of providing a permanent plant display area. Painted the color of the walls or the wallpaper, the shelves simply merge into the back ground, making the plants the focus. Higher shelves and those above shoulder level should be filled with cascading varieties to avoid only the container being seen, with lower shelves devoted to upward growing types of plants.
Color is another important consideration when it comes to choosing plants for your home. A delicate paint effect or softly toned wallpaper can be swamped by heavy, dark green foliage. However, the pale fronds of fragile ferns or pastel and white flowering plants will enhance a gentle color scheme rather than dominate it. Pale plain colored walls will complement most plants, but introducing foliage or flowering plants into a scheme with floral or patterned wallpaper and furnishings needs more thought. Take a piece of the fabric or wallpaper with you to the garden centre or plant specialist and use this to help you select an appropriate shade of green.
With the huge selection of seasonal flowering plants available, it is quite feasible to create a continuity of color with different varieties throughout. With this in mind, consider widening a window sill to provide a deeper platform for plants. A recessed window fitted with narrow glass or solid shelves provides the ideal support for a display of small bushy or trailing plants; while light loving climbers will quickly provide a green curtain right to the top of the window if the plants are given a series of thin wires to climb up. Climbers can also be encouraged to act as a frame. A climbing plant trained to scramble around a large picture hanging above a mantel piece, for instance, looks stunning.
This wrought-iron candle sconce has been designed to incorporate a small plant such as this ivy. Be careful not to let the candle burn too low and scorch the leaves of the plant.
This moth orchid provides a graceful organic touch to a collection of wall-mounted stone-colored vases.
If sitting plants at the window, it is essential to select ones that can tolerate hot summer rays or at the very least strong, bright light. A light, bright room may be partially separated by using a group of tall plants to create a room divider, usually partitioning, say, a dining space from a sitting area. As an alternative, fill an open shelving unit in the centre of a similar well-lit room with plants that are viewed from both sides. If the light levels on the lower shelves prohibit living plants, use them for storing books or displaying other inanimate objects instead.
Grouping Plants
Metal wall sconces designed to hold candles are easily adapted for trailing plants. Decorative wire wall containers for bathroom and kitchen accessories also make excellent pot holders. A group of these arranged closely together creates a considerable impact. Table top displays are the other obvious choice for many rooms, but most plants hate being moved around, so it is important that they can be left in peace. Narrow console tables require little space and are ideal for the purpose. If the space around the table is restricted, limit the display to upright plants. Bushy or trailing plants can be introduced if they will not be regularly brushed against. Combined with several treasured objects and planted in carefully chosen containers, these create an attractive still life that needs only a lamp to highlight the collection at night.
A group of low-level plants arranged together in one shallow basket or ceramic bowl, is perfect on a coffee table where it will be viewed from above. Put all the plants in one container making it more convenient if they need to be moved temporarily. A central display table needs plants that are attractive from all sides. Several small pots of miniature roses, Exacumaffine (Persian violet) or primulas grouped together when the table is not in use can then be split up to form a pretty line of color for a dinner or lunch party. These plants will be viewed at very close proximity, they need to be in perfect condition and may remain so only for a couple of weeks.
Plants seen at a distance are better able to carry imperfections, especially if they are arranged in a tight group. With a sensitive selection of colors and shapes, considerable impact can be made using relatively small, inexpensive plants. Choose a color theme of, say, white and green where a Dieffenbachia compacta sets the height of the arrangement for a range of smaller, bushier plants such as Thirnieamenziesii (piggyback plant), Syn (goniumand Fittonia).
A trailing tradescantia will add further dimension to the overall shape of the display, and a brilliant white azalea, Argyranthernum frutescens (marguerite) or scented gardenia will provide seasonal interest and variation. The success of these loose, informal groupings relies on establishing a strong central theme. While they offer numerous possibilities of choice and presentation, it is important to remember that the permanent plants must share the same light and temperature requirements.

Geometric characteristics of fire
Since 2007, research has been conducted on the development of vision-based measurement devices specifically dedicated to fires. These works cater for the need for metrology devices capable of monitoring the time-based development of the geometric characteristics of a spreading fire at different levels: in the laboratory, semi-plot, plot and field.
The geometric characteristics of a fire are its position on the ground, its height, length, thickness, angle of slope, surface area and volume.
Stereovision is a method allowing for in-depth information to be gathered from two simultaneous and staggered images of the same scene.
Two systems of stereovision were used in our research.
The first is the Bumblebee X3 system from PTGrey. It features three cameras connected in a rigid manner spaced 12 cm apart.
Three devices are placed around the platform in the laboratory on which small fires are ignited and start spreading in such a way as to obtain complementary points of view. The cameras are calibrated using a calibration cube so as to be able to re-project, to a single point of reference, the 3D points obtained from each stereovision system.
This system has mainly been used in a laboratory setting given the lack of distance between the cameras which has a direct impact on the precision of the measurements when the fire is moving away. It has nonetheless been used to initiate measurement tasks focusing on outdoor fire characteristics.
The second stereovision device drawn on uses two JAI AD080 cameras fixed on a bar and spaced one metre apart. This visual system allows for the simultaneous acquisition of images in the visible range (300 nm - 700 nm) and the near infrared range (700 nm - 900 nm) thanks to the halving of the incident beam and the use of sensors, one of which feeds the visual system, the other from the near infrared one.
In terms of visibility, fire zones are often masked by smoke. However, viewed images remain the key point of reference for researchers working on the issue of forest fires. The images acquired from use of the near infrared system clearly reveal distinct fire zones, the shapes of which closely resemble those obtained through the visual system. The usefulness of such a system is the simultaneous acquisition of images through the visual and near infrared systems at an affordable cost.
Two stereovision systems are positioned on either side of the fire front to obtain complementary points of view.
Each stereovision system is equipped with a small box containing a Parrot AR navigation map used to obtain the angles of the device's roll, pitch and yaw. A centrimetric GPS is also used to obtain the exact location of the systems.
Obtaining a three-dimensional shape of the fire and estimation of its characteristics
The stereoscopic fire images are processed so as to obtain three-dimensional points from which the fire's geometric characteristics can be calculated. Processing comprises the following main phases:
- Segmentation of fire zones in the images
- Detection of significant points in the segmented fire zones
- Pairing of points between the stereoscopic images
- Obtaining 3D points through triangulation based on the paired points
- Registration of 3D points drawn from the various stereovision systems
- Calculation of the geometric characteristics of fire based on 3D points
Significant work was undertaken with a view to determining which fire pixel detection method in the literature achieves the best results in the case of visual images of wildland fires. A new method has been proposed in addition to another one based on a combination of images from the visual and near infrared systems.
The three-dimensional shape of the fire can be calculated in addition to its volume and surface area, based on the three-dimensional points obtained at each point of acquisition.
Time-based growth patterns for the various characteristics have been obtained.
Database of wildland fire images: Corsican Fire Database
The Corsican Fire Database, containing more than 500 images characterised as wildfire acquired from visible fires, and images and videos of small fires acquired simultaneously in the visible and near infrared ranges, has been compiled and can be accessed at: http://cfdb.univ-corse.fr/
Fire monitoring detection and measurement by drone
Since 2015 research work has been underway to develop a drone equipped with a multimodal stereovision system likely to be able to detect, monitor and measure wildland fires.
The research was initiated using a simple AR Parrot 2.0 drone guided by a Robotic Operating System so as to collect in real time the images associated with the position and orientation of the drone on a computer located on the ground.
Since 2016, thesis work has been underway with the aim of developing a drone carrying a visual system allowing for an estimation of the geometric characteristics of spreading fires. We are currently working on the database of a drone purchased from the ECALIS Association (Civilian Firefighting Assistance and Surveillance Squadron).

Siah Armajani
Storm King Art Center
Both this exhibition and a concurrent one at Max Protetch gallery in New York were filled with continuities, as well as departures, from Siah Armajani's earlier work. While his interest in the political structure of American public spaces remains, two recent series (entitled "Streets," 1992–93 and "Notations on Streets," 1992) condense the artist's familiar examinations of architecture and artifacts in small tableaux of corrugated cardboard, props for model-train sets and doll houses, and found materials. These diminutive studies manipulated conventions of presentation (combining and confusing plan, section, diagram, and perspective) and the relationship between representational models and actual objects. Armajani uses the poetry of Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams as a basis for his collagelike structures and constructions. In his exploration of the regional peculiarities of

Anurag Kashyap is back with another movie, Manmarziyaan.
For the Bollywood lovers, prepare yourselves for a "Complicated Love Story". No, it's not "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna 2". It's just another Love Triangle which they might claim to be different just because it comes from the makers of Gangs of Wasseypur 2 and Dev.D.
So, Manmarziyaan says – "Love isn't complicated, people are".
From what can be understood from the trailer, it narrates a triangular love story between Vicky (Vicky Kaushal), Rumi (Tapsee Pannu) and Robbie (Abhishek Bachchan). Vicky and Rumi are in a relationship (it's apparent from the very first scene where the duo can be seen lip-locking). However, Vicky isn't ready to settle down and marry Rumi. That's when Rumi decides to marry the first guy she meets. Who turns out to be Robbie (Abhishek Bachchan).
So Manmarziyaan is basically a struggling love story where the girl is in a dilemma regarding whom to choose (very new and fresh content, right?).
The film also marks Jr. Bachchan's comeback into the industry after 2 years (Gotta appreciate Anurag Kashyap's gamble).
Well, jokes apart, Vicky Kaushal never fails to impress us with his acting skills. So does Tapsee Pannu who is a great actress with her own set of strengths in the industry. Jr. Bachchan, on the other hand, looks fresh and good with his role.
In short, Manmarziyaan has a fresh look with old and over-used typical content. But the portrayal of the same idea looks new and that's exactly why it got a fair reception amidst Bollywood lovers.
The movie is set to be released on September 14.

The California ISO is monitoring COVID-19 developments, and is taking proactive steps to protect staff, customers, community, and the electric grid. Learn more.
The Western Energy Imbalance Market's (EIM) third-quarter 2019 report shows the market generated $64.81 million in gross benefits.
Since 2014, the real-time energy market has produced a total of $801.07 million in benefits.
The Western EIM uses advanced technologies to automatically find and deliver the lowest cost energy to consumers across eight western states. It optimizes resources from a larger and more diverse pool, and allows the integration of renewable energy that may otherwise be curtailed at certain times of the day, providing an added environmental benefit.
Since 2015, the market has reduced a total of 418,031 metric tons of CO2 in greenhouse gas emissions, which is the equivalent of removing the emissions of 87,889 passenger cars driven for one year.
View Western EIM, for more information about the real-time energy market.

Several stakeholders recently took the first steps to participate in the design of the Extended Day-Ahead energy (EDAM) market to be launched by the California Independent System Operator (ISO) in 2022.
This fall more than 150 market participants attended one of three workshops hosted by the ISO to educate them on the Day-Ahead Market in preparation for a stakeholder initiative process to design the EDAM. A voluntary market, EDAM will extend day-ahead functionality to real-time Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) participants.
The workshops were especially significant to Western EIM entities who have had very little exposure to the Day-Ahead Market as they currently participate in a real-time energy market that uses advanced market systems to automatically find the lowest cost energy to serve customer demand.
"As part of our ongoing commitment to provide outstanding customer service, we recognized it was important to help stakeholders understand the Day-Ahead Market so they can fully engage and give meaningful feedback during the initiative process," said Joanne Serina, Executive Director, Customer Service and Stakeholder Affairs.
The EDAM initiative process kicked off in September when the ISO Board of Governors approved a Western EIM request to start the stakeholder process after the entities suggested their participation in the Day-Ahead Market could offer them additional benefits. Benefits are achieved through day-ahead hourly trading of energy, and diversity to reduce the amount of imbalance reserve needed.
The initiative process began in October and requires new market policies, and governance policies and processes. For more information, visit the EDAM stakeholder initiative webpage.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) upgraded its power grid operating technology in October, making it the most advanced in the industry.
The Siemens Spectrum Power 7 energy management system will better serve ISO customers while meeting the challenges of an evolving energy landscape.
Moving to the Siemens product improves grid power flow accuracy that supports market enhancements and network applications, which allows for broader renewable energy integration. The new system also enhances operators' situational awareness; offers operational flexibility with frequent model changes and upgrades critical infrastructure protection.
In our effort to continually improve customer service, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) made important web page changes designed to enhance the user's online experience by making it easier to find information, participate in our public processes, and learn about ISO services.
Our most recent update to the RC West webpages and addition of the participant portal tool launched after the ISO became the reliability coordinator for 41 balancing authorities and transmission operators in the western United States. In addition to the dashboard and workflow features, the page offers RC West Oversight committee and foundational documents.
The newly redesigned Stakeholder Initiative page is organized to enhance public participation in policy development. The page, introduced in November 2019, now offers new filter and search tools giving users the ability to quickly find initiatives. Users can easily track initiative milestones, including phases, meeting dates, document postings, comments submission deadlines, filings and implementation dates with the status table feature.
For our market participants with access to the Customer Inquiry Dispute Information (CIDI) application, the ISO now has more than 300 knowledge articles from many divisions for customers to review prior to submitting an inquiry. The changes have resulted in thousands of views of articles and customer self-service for quicker resolution to their questions.
Be sure to check out our new pages and tools each designed to be a resource for market participants and the public to learn about electric grids, markets and the ISO's role in maintaining a reliable grid.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) launched its expanded Reliability Coordinator (RC) services, called RC West, making it the RC of record for 41 entities across 14 western states and northern Mexico.
RC West now has oversight of power grid reliability for balancing authorities and transmission operators in the Western Interconnection, monitoring compliance for 87 percent of the load in the western US.
A Reliability Coordinator has the highest level of authority and responsibility for the reliable operation of power grids, and has wide visibility of bulk electric systems.
In January 2018, the ISO announced plans to become a Reliability Coordinator for entities within its footprint and to offer the service to all balancing authorities and transmission operators in the West.

BOBBY Scaife will start his new regime in the Billingham Synthonia dug-out with three successive home games.
Scaife, who has led both his previous clubs Whitby and Dunston Fed to the Northern League title, has teamed up with assistant Barney Malone, Synners' midfield enforcer last time they lifted the trophy back in 1995.
The duo took charge in the summer after long time manager Stuart Coleby stepped down, or up, to concentrate on his role as chairman.
After last year's FA Vase glory run when Synners were denied a place in the Wembley final after losing in a heart break penalty shoot-out to Totton, they will be out to make an impact in the league.
Synners start at home to West Allotment Celtic when the league kicks off on Saturday, August 11 then take on Bedlington Terriers at Central Avenue on the Tuesday.
And Synners have home advantage over top flight rivals Northallerton Town too when the FA Cup gets underway with the extra-preliminary round on Saturday, August 18.
BILLINGHAM TOWN are scheduled to start their season at home to last season's title rivals Sunderland Nissan but could be forced to switch the game up the A19.
Town, squeezed out of the title on goal difference by Whitley Bay, are having extensive work done on the pitch at the Ron Greig Stadium and it may not be ready in time.
The ground plays host to Hartlepool reserves and the League One side want to make the pitch an exact replica of the Victoria Park surface in size and texture, so have spent the summer reshaping it.
Town have a problem on August 18 because they are drawn at home to Eccleshill in the FA Cup, and while they can switch their early league games while work on the pitch is completed, they will not want to concede home advantage in that.
Promotion favourites MARSKE UNITED start their campaign at home to second division new boys Birtley.
The Tynesiders have arrived as Wearside League champions and have high hopes themselves, but Marske - who just fell short last term - will be looking for a bright start.
They have former fans' favourite Simon Kasonali back from spells at Guisborough and Northallerton.
NORTON, who were also among the promotion pack last term, start their campaign away at Crook Town and GUISBOROUGH, who faded badly in the final straight, kick-off away at Brandon.
Then the two teams meet at the KGV on the second Saturday in what looks a juicy FA Cup derby clash.
STOKESLEY face a tough start at home to promotion hopefuls Penrith as they look to build on a respectable top eight finish in their debut season in the Northern League.
THORNABY, who have the builders in at Teesdale Park as part of a radical revamp, are scheduled to start at home to Esh Winning in the league and are then drawn at home to South Shields in the FA Cup, although like Billingham Town they will be looking to reverse their first few fixtures.

Funny man Joe Pasquale will make his West End debut in Monty Python's Spamalot later this month following some casting matchmaking from his forthcoming Lady of the Lake, Bonnie Langford.
The famously squeaky voiced stand-up, who will take over the role of King Arthur from 17 June, came to see the epically silly show 13 years after he and Langford starred together in a production of Peter Pan. Spotting some comic potential in her midst, the musical theatre star suggested the idea of Pasquale joining the cast to the producers.
"I've known Bonnie Langford since we worked together doing Peter Pan in 2000," Pasquale explained. "The Spamalot Knights recently strong-armed Bonnie into joining twitter and she amassed over 1000 followers in her first week. When I saw she had joined up I sent her a message to welcome her as we'd lost touch for years. She invited me to see the show and I loved it so much that I went backstage afterwards to congratulate the cast. It was then that Bonnie said she thought I'd make a great King Arthur and the next thing that I knew, the show's producers spoke to my agent and it went from there very quickly."
One of the country's most-loved entertainers, Pasquale's 20 year career has seen him perform numerous acclaimed comedy shows including Live And Squeaky, Twin Squeaks, Bubble And Squeak and, as a nod to everyone's burning question, Does He Really Talk Like That? The Live Show.
As well as stand(ing)-up on stage, Pasquale has also acted on stage appearing in touring productions of The Wizard Of Oz, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead and The Producers. The multi-talented entertainer is also equally known for his television work including presenting The Price Is Right, taking part in 2013 Dancing On Ice and his royal title-winning appearance in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Talking about his latest challenge, Pasquale said (or squeaked, according to his live shows): "I'm now looking forward to a great summer of making audiences laugh at the Playhouse theatre during six weeks filled with killer rabbits, flying cows and coconuts." While this may seem strange to people who haven't yet seen the show, others will know this is not all the eccentric props his six weeks will be filled with; Eric Idle's loveably ridiculous tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table also features medieval cheerleaders, a host of tunes "more magical than a Camelot convention", impressive facial hair and flatulent Frenchmen.

A TEACHER at Pakame High School, who lives in Kia Ora Lalapanzi, Chirumanzu, is in trouble after he allegedly killed his girlfriend after a dispute over her pregnancy.
Tonderai Marabwa (33) was not asked to plead to the charge of murder when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Franklin Mkhwananzi yesterday. The magistrate remanded him in custody to April 26.
The court was told that on December 10 last year, Marabwa phoned Fortunate Sindi Sithole and they agreed to meet in Bulawayo in the afternoon. He travelled from Lalapanzi to Bulawayo and met with her.
Sithole lived in Mahatshula, Bulawayo.
The two resolved to put up at Esikhoveni guest lodge in Khumalo, Bulawayo, and they had sexual intercourse.
At 4am the two had a misunderstanding over the issue of pregnancy when Sithole demanded to be taken to Marabwa's family for introductions. Marabwa refused because he had another pregnant girlfriend, Maxine Birira, whom he intended to marry. It is alleged that she stayed with him in Lalapanzi.
Sithole, however, insisted that she wanted to meet Marabwa's family and threatened to follow him home.
Marabwa, fearing that the other girlfriend would discover the relationship, strangled Sithole using her head scarf. He allegedly placed a mattress on top of the deceased and set it alight before locking the door of the room in an effort to conceal the murder.
He then disappeared into the night. The murder was discovered by lodge workers who reported the matter to the police leading to Marabwa's arrest.
A post-mortem was carried out on deceased's remains and cause of death was ascertained as asphyxia and strangulation.

Like all great adventures, it began with a map and a dream.
If you look hard, cock your head and squint, a map of Canada east of Hudson Bay becomes the head of a caribou, gazing across the North Atlantic.
It was to the eye of this great caribou, Lac Bienville, that I ventured, with a dream that I might not only acquire my own caribou, but somehow capture the hunting experience of my distant ancestors. That I did, and much more.
With some vague notion of chronicling this trip, I kept a journal, which has come to resemble a wad of campfire starter.
Hunting A Moon-Like Surface
August 18, I am landing on the moon. Or so it seems, because the terrain rising quickly to meet me has a lunar quality, featureless but for a strange spiderweb spreading as far as I can see. As we descend, the land gains life. The barrenness is actually waist-high bush interspersed by occasional stands of dwarf pines. The spiderweb becomes a myriad of trails made of countless cloven hoofprints.
Upon touchdown, we have our first encounter with caribou. I feel the bush pilot gun the engine. My stomach reels to the floor of the floatplane cabin and bounces back into place as we narrowly miss a band of swimming caribou. Caribou, I realize, can be dangerous game when you're 800 miles from help.
The next entries are hard to decipher, because of the blotches that are brandy, or some other crimson substance, but I remember the events well. There was a flurry of unloading the 1958 DeHavilland Otter, Roland paying particular attention to the food, Jean-Guy, the fishing gear. They're both seasoned hunters who live in the bush of northern Quebec. I'm the novice on this expedition, and the only hunter whose primary language is not French. There's a little apprehension whether I'll succeed in their eyes — and my own.
When I first met Roland a few years ago, we hunted as guide and client; now it's as friends. In early summer, planning this trip, I spoke with my friend: Would the last of August be a good week?
"We were there this week last year," Roland says. "Each morning, you come out of your tent, and there are maybe 1,000 caribou. You cannot know which way to go."
Hunters Speak Common Language
While Roland speaks little English and I no French, we share the common parlance of hunters. I read now in his body language — urgent arranging of gear, mixed with long pauses to gaze far in search of caribou — that he is as eager as I to begin the hunt. We hurriedly settle into the comfortable wood-frame and canvas cabin furnished by Carmen Menard of Lac Lucault hunting club, and head for the boat.
The freighter canoe cuts tea-colored water, bow aimed toward the north end of the lake, where Roland says the best bowhunting can be found. While migrating caribou seem to dive unhesitatingly into a frigid lake rather than go around it, there are exceptions. Their straight-line determination is just part of an overall scheme of conserving energy. Caribou swim because they know it is impossible to go around all the lakes they encounter. But they also sense they can conserve energy by skirting a nearby point, rather than swimming, and their trails often funnel around lake ends. If the lake is one in a series where the points line up, there can be a major funnel there. This is such a lake. As we reach the beach, we are mesmerized by a steady stream of caribou ears and antlers that pass just on the other side of the berm.
Roland: The Hunt Master
But while Roland is in a hurry to hunt, he is not in a hurry to kill. The unofficial hunt master, on his 19th caribou hunt in as many years, watches.
"OK, this is good, there are caribou here," says Roland in his French-Canadian accent. "Oh — there goes a very good bull — too bad you do not have your bow ready. Let's go!"
Roland guns the motor, and the drifting canoe lurches for open water. Jean-Guy and I communicate for the first time as our eyes meet in mutual disappointment of leaving such a bounty of game behind. But we share Roland's childlike enthusiasm and curiosity for seeing more of what the lake holds.
The lake is a vast, shimmering basin of iron-stained water, bordered by dwarf pines, muskeg, and marsh, with a few low, tawny hills rising in the distance. It's interesting topography as far as caribou country goes. There's a waterfall entering the lake here, a group of islands there. Always within sight are several bands of caribou gliding through the water. We examine each closely, fascinated, but always from a respectable distance.
We make frequent stops to explore deep trails in the soft moss. Caribou sign, some centuries old, some still steaming, is everywhere. As the virgin caribou hunter, I have been graciously granted "first shot" privileges, and lead the way as we scout the trails. The idea is to avoid the monotony and black flies that come with waiting for caribou, to savor this quest, and make it last longer, by still-hunting. If we can't walk up a caribou, we'll have located the best trails, and will surely score by trail-watching the last couple of days.
An Exciting Still-Hunt
This is an exciting, invigorating way to hunt. My lungs and legs feel strong, and I'm confident in the recurve bow I carry. The air is cool, sharp. Each bend in the trail, each point and narrows, holds prospects for an encounter with game bigger and more plentiful than I've ever imagined. We stalk across a muskeg swamp, through some scraggly trees and, there! — Caribou!
Across the marsh trods a pod of caribou. In the lead are several cows and their calves, jogging in that straight-line, double-time pace caribou keep up incessantly to escape black flies, weather, wolves, and whatever.
Native legend is that the caribou's intense metabolism is magical, and that if you drink its blood after killing one, "it is like drinking the whiskey," Roland had told me. The wild beauty of this place and excitement of the hunt have me intoxicated already.
The main body of the herd comes into view, and amid the stumpy headgear carried by cows, we can see the long, curving antlers of a good bull. The wind is right; we have their course plotted, and there is good cover to an ambush point. Hunkered down, we dash back through the coarse branches of black spruce, circling to intercept the caribou.
Hustle Into Shot Position
Despite the herd's urgent pace, we get into position, and even get Jean-Guy set up behind me with a camera. I'm shaking, ready for a wild, successful climax, because we've hunted well.
But not well enough. At once, the herd seems to sense us. Lead cows begin to whirl; the majestic bull instinctively maneuvers into the midst of the herd, protected by layers of cows. I get a view to the bull's white mane, raising and drawing the bow at once, but pulling up as the bull dodges an opening and is again covered by cows. I can only watch, awestruck, as the herd thunders away.
"The caribou, he is not so dumb, aye?" Roland laughs.
The orange sun is settled on an endless, uncluttered horizon. From the comments and actions of my hunting companions, I surmise it is customary to defer from shooting a caribou at dusk, because of the difficulty and danger in locating, field dressing, and transporting in the dark.
There are more important tasks in the evening, like seriously enjoying the camaraderie of caribou camp life. We partake in Roland's superb camp cookery, hearty Canadian refreshments, and conversation that is somehow affected little by a distinct language barrier. As the campfire dies, the wolves come to life. The hunting of caribou never ends.
Next dawn, we're cutting the water again, destination north point, where we saw many caribou cross yesterday. We get out and explore, walking the deep trails that wind through the mud and rocks, moss and trees. The area is more water than land, a narrow peninsula between vast lakes sprinkled with potholes. Roland finds a bleached antler; its thick, sweeping beam, and massive palms make me think Pope and Young. It's connected to a skull, and our imaginations are sparked.
Set Up An Ambush
I look up to see Jean-Guy crouched, gazing across the narrow strait. He turns and again whispers urgently, "Caribou!" Bobbing and weaving toward a well-used crossing are caribou, long, curving antlers among them. The animals intend to cross at the narrows, and will surely pass on the trail that runs within 15 yards of a perfect natural pine blind. Spontaneously, we duck down and break into a trot toward the cover.
The herd passes very close; there are anxious moments when we think we won't get a shot. Then, with the herd quartering away, I see my opening. I draw and let fly at the herd bull with white-velvet antlers. The shot is good and I watch as the bull circles out from the herd and lays down.
I am delirious with excitement and success. Roland is equally cool. "You want to see it again?" he calls out. Puzzled, I turn to view an implausible scene: A woods-hardened Canadian bushman in a raw wilderness setting, watching instant replays on his video camera monitor.
We hunted and fished for several more days, and it was a fine adventure with three more caribou bagged. And I've hunted caribou since then and taken some fine bulls. But whenever I think about caribou hunting, it is that first white-velvet bull I remember in the beautifully wild country of Ungava.

This collaboration brings together two regional know-how but also two representatives of local crafts. We chose to work with 1515 and Manu Laplace because he is one of the few cutlers to still offer tailor-made and exceptional quality finish.
"The 1515" is a concept. The idea is to meet to establish a partnership with a brand, an artist, a friend ... I remember my meeting with Philippe Tournaire, it made me evolve, remove the barriers that are put Sometimes without knowing why. And that's how one imagined and made a 1515® set with 54 diamonds. Manu Laplace, artisan cutlery of art.
This collaboration has given birth to two exceptional knives lines that bring together three craft techniques: that of the cutler, the cabinetmaker and the jeweler. The encounter with 1515 saw the creation of a first tool with an old walnut handle, set with 3 diamonds contained in white gold crimps and a Damascus steel blade, a "thousand steel sheet" giving patterns playing On different colors and similar to the contour lines found on the cards. A second exclusive object was born, Damascus blade and a walnut handle set on the 54 diamonds, an achievement that is the fruit of the reflection of two visionary and limitless artisans.

The original design of the walkway structure was a costly option involving heavy cantilevered glass. We supplied a cost-effective alternative that was lightweight and, importantly, designed to carefully match the cultural theme of the centre. The result was an impressive aluminium structure covered in a clear and waterproof fabric skin.
For the main feature of the building façade we supplied decorative sails fabricated from perforated aluminium sheet. Each spanning 2.4 metres high these feature sails also provided solar shading to the community centre.
Additionally we supplied the centre with aluminium flashings, aluminium garden fencing, glass fencing for the playground and a windbreak shelter for the bus stop.

This fantastic project was a joint venture between ourselves and Urban Group, our combined skills allowed us to design, manufacture and install a shelter system, at a fraction of the cost of more recognised options. This light weight, waterproof fabric system is innovative and compliments the architect's vision for the facility.

Keep an eye on the sky! Magpies swooping from up on high
Spring is just days away so it's time to keep an eye to the sky - magpie swooping season is with us.
The dive-bombing behaviour of magpies is caused by the birds protecting their newborn chicks from anyone entering their territory.
A Sutherland Shire resident had a near-miss with a swooping magpie near 473 President Avenue at Kirrawee on August 4.
"Swooped while travelling west, very mild. Bird only swoops cyclists, and is very on/off," Norm posted on the Magpie Alert! website.
"Been past travelling east twice since and not swooped."
A pram walker was not so lucky on Ramsgate Road at Beverley Park on August 24.
"Magpie swooped me (slight cut on ear) while walking my newborn son in pram on path between golf coarse and road," JD reported "Had a few goes at me till I scared him off with rocks."
Over at Engadine a cyclist was dive-bombed by a magpie on Woronora Road opposite Fairview Avenue.
''Riding bike down Woronora Road got swooped multiple times,'' BJ posted on Magpie Alert! on August 3.
A National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman said the diving behaviour was the birds protecting their newborn chicks.
"Magpies start breeding as soon as conditions are suitable including when weather begins to warm up," a spokesman said.
"Magpies are very protective of their chicks. Some, but not all, magpies swoop anyone they see as an intruder in their territory.
"This protective behaviour lasts only a few weeks, so be prepared to avoid them, or risk being injured."
The swooping attacks of protective magpies has led to the creation of a a website designed to track and record attacks Australia-wide.
MagpieAlert.com allows people to log on and record where they have experienced a swooping, details about the attack and any injuries suffered.
People can then check the website, find out where attacks have happened and avoid the area.
Locations listed on MagpieAlert.com in 2018 included:
Sutherland Shire
- 43 Wheatley Road, Yarrawarrah
- 32 Wollun Street, Como
- 18B Marion Street, Gymea
- 7 Clyde Avenue, Cronulla
- 98 and 126 Prince Charles Parade, Kurnell
St George
- 146 Chuter Avenue, Sans Souci
- 2A Hillcrest Avenue, Bardwell Valley
- 113 Hannans Road, Narwee
- 16 Gannon Avenue, Dolls Point
In case anyone was thinking about taking out some drastic action after being swooped, the national park spokesman warned that magpies were a protected species and it was illegal to capture, harm or kill them.
It was also against the law to collect their eggs or harm their young.
The spokesman said the best thing people can do is avoid nesting areas.
If that wasn't possible people should walk past the area confidently, do not stop and watch the bird as they walk past.
A hat or bike helmet can help protect your head from the swooping magpies beak and sunglasses can do the same for your eyes.
Cyclists should get off their bike and quickly walk past.

072 – Heroes And Role Models
Heroes And Role Models…
Todays show is a listener inspired episode from a woman in Colorado named Theryn. Yes…we do have females in the listening audience! More and more all the time from what I understand.
Theryn asked a question about male role models…or heroes. Because she didn't have any good role models growing up she used men on the TV shows she watched as her example of manhood and masculinity. Her question is in regard to what my opinion is of using fictional, cinematic figures as role models for masculinity, and if I had any growing up.
First I would like to thank Theryn for her question and thanks also for listening, and thanks for the question. If theryn can do it, you can do it. Be like Theryn!
The next thing I want to address about this is that to some people it may seem odd that a female is asking a question about male role models…but it isn't odd at all, and I applaud Theryn for asking. Females need good male role models just as much as guys do. Perhaps for slightly different reasons…but think about it. If a young girl doesn't have a good male role model, then she has no idea of what to expect, or what to look for, or what to like or dislike about the other half of the population.
A woman's perception of masculinity becomes critical as she gets older and starts choosing male friends, and it gets even more critical as she starts dating and possibly choosing who will become the father of her children. If she has gown up with no male role models whatsoever then she is going into all that completely blind, and being forced to learn from her mistakes. You can imagine what kind of chaos this can result in.
Equally devastating, is when a young girl has a bad male role model, and that's all she has. I've seen this happen several times; a girl is raised by a mean, uncaring, distant, altered, or abusive father and to her young mind…that's how men are supposed to be. Often times girls in this situation grow up and ultimately choose someone just like their dad, because that is what they are used to, that is their comfort zone…and, the cycle continues.
In our example today I believe Theryn did exactly the right thing…in the absence of a good male role model she focused on fictional characters from movies and TV to help her learn the difference between good and bad men. By comparing these men to other men in TV and movies she was able to identify those character traits she admired.
Now, let me be clear…in the absence of any other positive role models I think this is the next best course of action…but there can be downsides.
In her letter she mentioned Jean Luc Picard from star trek the next generation…I agree, he is a fine role model of character and masculinity. BUT, he is a fictional character and someone wrote him that way. He is almost infallible, and if a person does not keep that in perspective you could wind up getting disappointed out in the real world because it's difficult if not impossible for a real life human man to measure up to someone that was invented by a writer. But, as long as you keep in mind the fact that they are fictional characters then I encourage both men and women to admire them and learn what you can from them.
When I was growing up I was blessed to have my actual father as a role model, and a hero. He is still the best man I have ever known. However, I still had my share of fictional and non-fictional heroes.
When I was a boy I read The Odyssey and was captivated by the hero Odysseus. Then there was Pappy Boyington played by Robert Conrad in the TV show Baa Baa Black Sheep. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and of course…James Tiberius Kirk from the original Star Trek, and several others.
They were all quite different characters with different strengths and some of them had qualities my dad didn't have, but ultimately they served to validate and solidify many of the virtues I saw in my father like honesty, bravery, confidence, wisdom, toughness, rationality, controlled anger, a sense of justice and yes…compassion and understanding when it was called for.
I'm thankful for all these characters, they helped me become who I am as a man. But I was fortunate to have my real life father to check and weigh things against.
So, I think a real life human role model is the best thing wether he's your father, a neighbor or an uncle or whatever. But in the absence of a human…fictional role models are the next best thing, as long as you remember they are fictional.
I think having heroes is incredibly important. In the application for the Mantoring program where I become a mentor for men who want to make changes…one of the questions is "who were your heroes". It's an important question because you can tell a lot about a person by who their heroes are…just as much as by who their enemies are. I am surprised by the number of men who don't know how to answer that question. They didn't have any heroes to speak of. I think that's kind of sad, and it makes me wonder what happened that caused young boys to grow up never having a hero.
I believe we as a species were designed to have heroes, because in the ancient lore from every corner of the world tales of heroes have been told for centuries. The ancients used heroes to captivate the imagination of people, to quicken their pulse…and then as an example for people to hopefully follow.
Thanks again to Theryn for asking the question, I hope I answered it. Now, to wrap it all up, Role models and heroes are slightly different things, but they are equally important to both males and females. A hero and role model can also be both things in the same person.
For you listening who didn't have a good role model growing up, you had a harder road to travel, but if you are listening to this show you must have done alright.
The biggest thing I want everyone to take away from this episode is that every single one of you have an opportunity. Wether you had heroes or not…wether you had a good role model or not, you now have an opportunity to become someone else' hero, you can be someone else' role model. Because someone is always watching, and if they are watching you be a better man today than you were yesterday you have just become an example for that person wether you realize it or not. That's how it works.
Remember to check us out on Facebook. That is also where you can order the Being A Better Man tee shirt and help get the word out.
It's Friday, so have a great weekend. Become a role model for someone simply by being a better man today than you were yesterday.

text: I was going through the toll booth on the turnpike. I had a few cheery bouquets left in the back of my car. So I asked the lady who collected the money if she would like a bouquet of flowers. Of course, she looked bewildered. "What did you just ask me about flowers?" I explained in a sentence or two and she happily took them. I hope that her husband doesn't get suspicious and think that they are from a secret admirer. He might not buy the story that some lady came through the toll booth…….and gave her flowers with lots of emerald, olive and greens of every tone. Lovely and leafy with lots of yellow flowers and sun-gold sunflowers. And other artistic shades of blossoms mixed in with the greens.

The Frontline
Black Roots
In July 1984, Black Roots released their second album, The Front Line, on vinyl and cassette.
The title track of this album, 'Frontline', was the theme song for the BBC Television sitcom that ran for one series by the same name. It is a story of 2 brothers who are constantly fighting like 'cat and dog' and the reason is that one is a police man and the other a dreadlocks man, both living together in the same house. Their life styles are such opposites that they can never agree about anything. And this clash of lifestyles is what informs the comedy that unfolds.
This digital format includes 2 bonus tracks - Confusion and Chanting for Freedom.
War 4:330:00 / 4:33
Signs & Wonders 4:160:00 / 4:16
Frontline 4:300:00 / 4:30

I did, unfortunately, also experience Pixels - its origins as a short were quite evident, padded out with obnoxious lead characters who nonetheless all Got The Girl. Nicely produced effects work, at least, and a surprisingly good soundtrack, ironically from the same guy responsible for Wreck-It Ralph's music.
Hmm.. I've come out of the bath to "Wildcats" playing, starring Goldie Hawn.. we shall see. ^_^;

On January 8, 2017, thousands of people around the world will ride the subway.
They'll look like normal subway riders, except for one important fact: They won't be wearing any pants.
The No Pants Subway Ride was created by Improv Everywhere in 2002. The first event in New York had 7 participants, but this year they expect 4,000 participants in New York, and thousands more around the world in cities like Boston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington DC, Berlin, London, Mexico City, Paris, Shanghai, and Sydney.
The idea behind The No Pants Subway Ride is simple: Random passengers board a subway car at separate stops in the middle of winter. The participants do not behave as if they know each other, and they all wear winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. The only unusual thing is their lack of pants.
For more information, visit Improv Everywhere.
UPDATE: Here's the video from the 2017 No Pants Subway Ride:

Well this is just disappointing. Old Navy Canada finally launches a plus size line, but check out the prices. The pics following are just a selection from their current sale on skinny jeans. First, regular sizes:
Second, the plus sizes:
Full disclosure, there are a couple of pairs of plus sizes that are on for $19, but the vast majority are $40+ ON SALE.
I saw this about a week ago and sent in my comments about how gross this was. I got a sappy reply and 20% off coupon. I was hoping I'd see some change, but unfortunately not.

Sales tax cut are coming for glasses, contact lenses
Next month the State of Ohio will eliminate the sales tax on prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses. This change is a result of legislation that I supported and helped pass in 2017. It's estimated that it will save Ohio taxpayers nearly $30 million annually.
Elimination of the sales tax on glasses and contacts will help make these medical devices less expensive and more accessible, thereby improving Ohioans' vision. We all know how important good vision is to success in your career or in school, and to ensuring that our elderly population maintains its mobility. Simply put, this change will help improve Ohioans' quality of life.
The tax change also helps support Ohio small businesses that sell eyeglasses and contact lenses. Because most neighboring states and online retailers aren't required to charge sales tax, our state's retailers were at a disadvantage in the marketplace. Leveling the playing field for these businesses will allow them to be competitive and thrive.
I was proud to work with Ohio's doctors of optometry at the Ohio Optometric Association to help eliminate the sales tax on glasses and contact lenses and look forward to its implementation in July.

Carrie Finkill, LPC, LSC, NCC
Carrie provides leadership to the counseling and clinical services of SC3 Partners. In 1994, she began working as a youth program assistant, providing counseling to teens, parents, and families. Since that time, she has worked as a violence prevention educator in the college setting, been a lead therapist in a behavioral health partial hospitalization program and adolescent residential unit, and clinician for SC3 Partners. This wide range of experience—along with her quick, intuitive ability—results in practical insights and real-world solutions for her clients in both counseling and coaching situations.
Carrie holds master's degrees in both Professional Counseling and School Counseling, as well as a bachelor's degree in Psychology. She is a licensed counselor with years of experience counseling individuals, couples, families, and children. Her caring-yet-direct approach has helped individuals overcome issues such as anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, stress management, work-life balance, and grief. She has helped couples overcome serious relationship issues, including infidelity, co-dependency, parenting challenges, unhealthy patterns, and family history. She specializes in helping teenagers find hope, especially those engaged in self-harm practices (cutting, suicide, etc.). Because of her training and experience, she is also very effective in counseling children faced with the divorce of their parents, school challenges, and adoption issues.
In addition, Carrie is an experienced presenter and facilitator. She is a licensed school counselor, with 5 years of experience teaching in the public school setting. Her style is warm yet direct, allowing her to infuse humor and practical insights into each session while keeping the group on track.
Carrie has used this variety of skills and experience to serve many clients including Cedar Springs Behavioral Hospital, Pikes Peak Community College, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Compassion International, Colorado Springs Utilities, the Association of Christian Schools International, and various Colorado Springs area public school districts.
Steve Finkill
Steve provides leadership to the account management and organizational development areas of SC3 Partners. He began working in local churches in 1994, and has held a variety of positions on church staff, including youth pastor, worship leader, associate pastor, director of communication, and janitor.
Since 2005, Steve has served a variety of churches and faith-based non-profits, providing organizational consulting and creative services to organizations including the Willow Creek Association, the Evangelical Free Church of America, the Christian Reformed Church denomination, Moody Bible Institute, Christ Fellowship (West Palm Beach, FL), and churches around the country in many denominations, including United Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Christian Church, and Assemblies of God.
With experience serving both local churches and large denominations, Steve can provide guidance, counsel, and direction to church leaders at every level. In addition, he has specific expertise in the areas of branding and communication, helping churches and organizations articulate who they are and what they do across all communication media. His ability to listen to organizations and then capture their essence in words and graphic design provides a high value to his clients.
Steve also has the ability to understand where change needs to happen in an organization and develop clear, step-by-step plans to enact that change in a way that moves the entire staff and organization forward. This enables him to provide leadership and staff coaching that not only serves each individual, but serves the greater mission of the organization.
Steve and Carrie live in Monument, CO with their three kids—Val, Zach, and Kimmie.
