In 2013 and for the next two years, ASH's new bridge grant program will provide one-year awards annually, to ASH members who applied for an NIH R01 grant or equivalent but were denied funding due to budget cutbacks. The long-term goal of the award is to help sustain recipients' research and contribute to their retention in hematology investigation. The next round of Bridge Grant applications, including information about refinements to the program will be available on April 1. Please join the mailing list and revisit this page at that time to learn more about the program.
back to top
All applicants must submit proposals to conduct research in hematology.
Basic Research
ASH considers basic research to include a broad spectrum of studies on genes, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, biochemical and signaling pathways, receptors, hematopoietic cells, and samples obtained from human patients or from vertebrate animal models. For the purpose of this grant, hematology-related basic research is designed to further our understanding of the blood, bone marrow, and related organs and/or the pathogenesis of blood disorders. The emphasis for grants in this category should be on the discovery of new knowledge in a traditional laboratory setting.
Translational Research
ASH defines translational research as using knowledge of human biology to develop and test the feasibility of relevant interventions in humans and/or determine the biological basis for observations made in individuals with hematologic conditions or in populations at risk. Translational research should be founded on and directly connected to some aspect of human biology and may encompass any form of structural, biochemical, genetic, or other appropriate experimental approaches using human materials.
Patient-Oriented Clinical Research
Patient-oriented research is defined as research conducted with human subjects and involves an investigator directly interacting with human subjects. Categories of patient-oriented research include: 1) mechanisms of human disease, 2) therapeutic interventions, 3) clinical trials, and 4) development of new technologies.
Outcomes-Based Research
Options for outcomes-based research include: 1) a decision-analysis or cost-effectiveness analysis of a relevant topic within hematology, 2) survey-based research investigating practice patterns, access to care, quality of care, clinical outcomes, or quality of life among patients with hematologic conditions, 3) retrospective analyses of large administrative databases (e.g., CMS, a large insurer, SEER) that may enlighten health-care policy decisions related to hematologic disease, and 4) large scale epidemiologic or genetic epidemiologic studies that define the incidence, prevalence, prognosis, and natural history or the effects of therapy of blood disorders.
Applications that fall within any of the categories discussed above are encouraged.
ASH intends for there to be additional rounds of applications with due dates of November 1 and April 1. Check this page on a regular basis or join a mailing list to receive updates and additional information regarding specific application dates.
To be eligible for the ASH Bridge Grant Award all applicants must:
Exclusions include:
We encourage all applicants to check this page on a regular basis and join the Bridge Grant mailing list to receive application information updates.
ASH requires applicants to submit an application in order to be considered for this award.
Application Content
The application should include the following:
ASH will perform a preliminary review of these materials to confirm eligibility and completeness. Incomplete applications or applications submitted by ineligible applicants will not be reviewed. Please email application materials to firstname.lastname@example.com.
ASH intends for the $50,000 in institutional matching funds to complement the ASH support and ensure the investigator has sufficient support for his/her research efforts. The match is also meant to illuminate the institution's support for the investigator, and documentation of the match will be considered during the study section review. Inadequate documentation of the match may result in a rejection of the application prior to review.
The matching funds can be used to support the investigator's salary and benefits, reagents and other research supplies, and the salary and benefits of research personnel. Purchases of equipment up to $10,000 for use by the investigator can also be credited toward the match.
The Society recognizes that a lapse in grant funding may occur before the ASH award is made. Within reason, funds provided to the investigator following this lapse in funding but prior to the award of the bridge grant may be counted toward the match. The institutional commitment letter should attest to the necessity of accounting these funds toward the match.
The matching funds should be well documented in the application. Ideally, applicants will present a visual description of how the matching funds will contribute to their overall research effort in combination with the ASH Bridge Grant and other available funding.
The following expenses are allowable in the $100,000 ASH Bridge Grant budget:
ASH will not pay institutional indirect costs under the Bridge Grant Program.
ASH will pay the award in two installments:
Anyone meeting the eligibility requirements set forth above can submit an application. The review of the bridge grant award applications is based on the scientific merit of proposed research and quality of the applicant.
Awards are not transferrable between individuals or across institutions. An award recipient who changes institutions during the award period would forfeit the award, and the institution would need to return all remaining award funds to ASH upon the recipient's departure.
Awardees may request a reallocation of funds from one expense category to another by submitting the request in writing to the Treasurer at the Society's headquarters. This written request must specify the dollar amount, which categories are impacted, and a justification as to why this change is necessary. The salary from the ASH award to the investigation must remain within +/- 10% of the original budget proposal submitted with the application.
Funded researchers can apply for no-cost extension.
Requests for deferrals of the commencement of the award for up to three months will be considered. Deferral requests should be noted in the award application, emailed to ASH staff following application but before notification, or emailed within 10 business days of the award notification.
All transfer and/or rebudgeting requests and justifications must be sent to ASH at email@example.com, who will work with the ASH treasurer to make final determinations.
Awards will be terminated if the applicant moves to a non-research position, leaves the institution at which he/she worked at the start of the award, or is dismissed from the institution.
Award recipients are required to submit final progress reports to the Society within 60 days of the end of the award period. Payment of the final installment of the award is contingent upon receipt of a properly completed final report.
The final report should follow the format of an NIH R01 final report with specific notations on:
This report must be sent to ASH awards at firstname.lastname@example.com within 60 days of the end of the award period. Failure to submit the progress report in a timely fashion will render the awardee ineligible for the final installment of the award.
The recipients will be expected to cite support from ASH in any publication, poster, or presentation describing research conducted during the period of the award.

Add a CommentMy 3 year old daughter, just loves this book. Cute illustrations and simple text for any preschooler to follow. Highly recommend!
A great book about imagination. Extension activity: give children a ruler and say, "this is not a ruler, what is it?" This activity could be used with any object.
My 2 yr old boy loves this book. He asks for it every day! not many words, the pictures say it all. so cute.
A very clever picture book about using your imagination. The theme is further emphasized by the use of brown paper and simple line drawings, as if the book was drawn on cardboard. Teachers will love this as an introduction to look at things differently.
This is a great book, the cover is actually made out of thick, cardboard. My group of senior kinders loved it because of its simplicity. As an educator I enjoyed it because it shows adults how to "look outside the box", using a child's creative thinking.
Good little book about a bunny's adventures in a box, for lack of better words. Very short and was cute but didn't last very long and certainly doesn't have a lasting effect on my memory. This book didn't hold my attention for a very long time so it wasn't the most fantastic book, but it was good. Just good.

For Channel News Asia to cease using Gillian Koh as a political analyst in all future Singapore elections
This petition is to bring to light to Channel News Asia that as their Singaporean viewers, we deserve a higher standard of political analysis and discourse. A standard much higher then one that is currently being delivered by their current go to political pundit Gillian Koh. Not only is she clearly biased, but her analysis is shallow and clearly not in touch with the the reality of the Singapore political world. We hope that CNA will be able to bring us a more balanced and insightful analysis and discussions of a much highers standards to us viewers in future elections.

by Rosie DiManno
Doubleday Canada | October 30, 2012 | Kobo Edition (eBook)
Pat Burns was one of the great NHL coaches. He worked with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils, and seemed always to enjoy instant success. He capped his extraordinary career by coaching the New Jersey Devils to a Stanley Cup victory in 2003. Cancer--his third bout--finally claimed him in 2010, aged 58. Rosie DiManno, who knew Burns well, has written a revealing, exhilarating and heartfelt account of his life: his childhood as a fatherless, solitary male surrounded by many women, his years as a police officer, his glorious coaching career and his long and characteristically valiant ending. Coach is both the first major biography of Burns and one that, with its revelations, personal insights and riveting prose, is--like the man himself--sure to be both controversial and hard to beat. Rosie DiManno knew, liked and admired Burns, and in the writing of this book has interviewed many, many people from every stage of his life. She is not blind to his less endearing qualities, but seeks to explain them. DiManno reveals a man of contradictions--gruff and crude, bullying and sentimental, and easily wounded. She shows, moreover, a man of hockey. The Burns who rode motorcycles, dressed like a cowboy, and sweet-talked the ladies was, says DiManno, a self-creation. His one indisputable, true talent was for coaching hockey. He was a pure coach. DiManno tells a compelling story and helps us to understand a complex man, one who gave little of himself to the public and yet whose funeral was a spectacle. How did that happen? Who was Pat Burns? Rosie DiManno, who witnessed much of the story, has the answers.

Bloggers. Sometimes they come with negative and descriptive adjectives in front of their names. Sometimes they can move markets with their audience and expertise. For HP's launch of its HDX Dragon notebook last year, bloggers were all good, and still are.
HP's word-of-mouth marketing partner Buzz Corps recently made public the results of its blogger-driven Dragon launch and sales. According to Buzz Corps CEO Chris Aaron, finding influential bloggers in the tech space was easier than trying to follow thousands of tech fans on Twitter or Facebook.

More Light Rail for Houston, TX
We support a bigger budget to be directed towards light rail construction and maintenance for the purpose of reducing traffic gridlock, conserving precious non-renewable resources, helping the environment, and enhancing a sense of local community. More money needs to be spent on light rail in Houston. Funds from the Metro budget should not be diverted into "street improvements."

Diner Reviews
When we made this reservation for
4 golf friends, we had hoped to dine around 7PM. The only reservation we could get was at 8:45PM - much later than we normally dine. When we arrived at the restaurant there were only 2 other tables of people. Clearly they do not give Open Table users good "time sensitive" options for us to select. This was very disappointing especially after a tiring day of golf with more to come early the next morning. We would think twice about using open table for Trevi in the future."

Restaurant had great food and
could accommodate my gluten allergy. I even was able to order pasta! Very tasty food"
Dined on 1/5/2014
From the moment we arrived we were
made to feel very special. Our server was exceptional as we're all the staff. Excellent food, wine and atmosphere. All in a fantastic setting."
Dined on 12/31/2013
In both cases meal was
buffet-style. In both cases significant food items either ran out or were not restocked. What was available was of extremely poor quality and the staff were either rude or couldn't care less. We originally reserved and had confirmed a dinner time of 7-30. We only discovered by chance that there was only one dinner sitting at 6-30! We now wish we'd arrived at 7-30 and missed the meal completely. In fairness, restaurant manager was very apologetic when we complained and she waived all charges."
Dined on 12/25/2013
This is the third year we have
come to trivia for Xmas dinner on Christmas Day. The first two years we were impressed with everything especially the food that we were able to order from a full menu. This year was very disappointing.the food for a hotel restaurant t of that caliber fell well below standard. First off there was no signage as to where things were such as the pasta bar. My wife didn't even realize there was pasta until I showed up with a plate of penne on it. The selection of food and pasta dishes again fell well below standard. We have our own brunch back home on Easter Day that we attend each year and for the same price u have a wide selection of pasta at the pasta bar and much much more. It just doesn't even come close."
Dined on 12/25/2013
We booked Trevi's online for our
wedding anniversary, as we were staying in the local area. Parking was a breeze at the hotel and was free. Our server was friendly and helpful and took us through the menu options including the specials. The restaurant was very quiet with just a few other diners. Food was excellently cooked and well presented. The bill was very reasonable as well."
Dined on 10/5/2013
Although it was an early Tuesday
evening, the place was very uncrowded. Our server, Fransisco, was on top of our needs, helpful and informative. Scallop appetizer was world class in flavor, texture and presentation. Shrimp dinner and chicken parmisean were just and perfect. Tender, tasty with just the right textures. A fine dining experience that was well worth the price of admission."
Dined on 10/2/2013
We took my husband's Mother to
Easter Brunch. We had been to this restaurant several years back and had really enjoyed that visit. We were quite disappointed this time around. The food variety was limited, and the restaurant lacked the festive feel it had presented on our previous visit. We were all quite disappointed."
Dined on 3/31/2013
I find it extremely rude when two
wait staff come to the table and pickup the two appetizers we ordered when there is still food on the dishes and they did not ask if we were finished. As well we ordered a side dish to go with the main course but they never brought it to us."

Options include text-only browsing (to save bandwidth), selective cookie and script removal, simple ad filtering, access restriction by server, encoded target URLs and cookies, configuration by end user, and much more (currently over 70 config options). Javascript and Flash are fully supported. Messages are in 12 languages so far. Can be installed as a CGI script, a mod_perl script, a FastCGI script, or with its own embedded secure HTTP server. An online demo is available.
DBMEdit is a web-based DBM database editor (in Perl 5). If you use DBM files and don't have a simple way to edit them, you'll want this. It treats each element in the DBM as several fields joined by a delimiter, in effect supporting multiple columns within the single-column DBM format. DBMEdit displays your DBM database as a table, and provides auto-sized forms to add or edit records. Multi- user access is safe.
DB_Browser is a CGI tool for developers working with any relational database supported by Perl::DBI. It easily facilitates searching, editing, and adding to tables within a database. While it can be used as a regular interface to database data itself, it works well as a supplemental tool for developers creating their own primary interface.
Dead Link Check (DLC) is a Perl script designed to find information on validity of HTTP references. The script may use/generate a cache file for avoiding redoing network requests if the user wants to check added entries. The script works by reading entries from a file (or a list of links from the command line) and output results in file(s) (or STDOUT). DLC was created as an extension to Public Bookmark Generator (PBM), but can be used on its own.

The entire bathroom not only looks great, but it smells great. Here's the best part. For some reason, hundreds of ANTS have been invading my bathroom over the course of a few weeks for about three years in a row in the spring. You may not believe it, but Seventh Gen T & T Cleaner sprayed in their direction is [...]! The smell sure is a fantastic change from [...]. But I don't mind spraying every day! What a great product.
I love this cleaner! As a cleaning woman, it makes my job a lot easier. It removes red mildew and soap scum, and leaves showers fresh and sparking clean, without leaving a film. I like the emerald cypress &fir scent. :)
The Tub & Tile Cleaner is hands down my favorite Seventh Generation product. Thanks to the fantastic smell-- and of course the safety and environmental benefits of using it vs. other cleaners-- I have at least 2 friends who have switched to Seventh Generation products for their household cleaners. It has such a nice, clean, pleasant scent. It works really well in the shower and on tile. It's been my favorite SG product for a long time, and it's my husband's favorite as well.
This works great on our porcelain tile shower and cast iron tub. Keeps it clean with minimal effort.
Wow, love this product and it works great on mirrors too, leaving them streak free.
Would appreciate seeing a refill for this product as with your other products as well.
I have used this product for at five years and would never go back to my other products.

On January 25th, an EAL Boeing 737 Â with 90 people aboard went down on a stormy night about four minutes after taking off from Beirut Airport. Â There were no survivors.
From the beginning, the Lebanese government has insisted that the cause of the crash was human error on the Ethiopian side. Â In other words, the tower at Beirut Airport bears no responsibility, Beirut airport security is not negligent, Lebanon is not a haven for international terrorists who might be suspected, etc. Â Maybe it was human error and Lebanon is in no way responsible. Â The fact is that no one knows enough about the accident yet to support any conclusion at all.
Over the past month, various Lebanese officials have continued to claim that the crash was the result of human error. They offered no evidence. Â At the same time they say people shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Girma Awake, the boss at EAL, has said only that all possibilities remain open until there is evidence. Â He says it again every time there is another statement from Lebanon.
The black boxes were found, but the physical trail of the cockpit voice recorder from the time the signal of its location underwater was picked up to the current analysis of both boxes in France is raising doubts.  The voice recorder was said not to have been located when the data recorder was found, then this story was changed to mean that the chip containing the actual recorded voices was missing from the voice data box and then it was found.  Found detached and on the sea floor? Now a story apparently leaked by the Ethiopian government through the Reporter, a weekly newspaper with both English and Amharic editions, suggests that the device has been tampered with, adding to suspicion that Lebanon is obstructing an open and impartial  investigation.
From the beginning, the Lebanese government has been acting like it has something serious to hide. Â A high level Ethiopian delegation, including several veteran pilots, says that it was given limited access to partial information and no chance to verify anything on the ground in Lebanon. Â How could this not give rise to suspicions?
Ethiopia could be exaggerating its suspicions, or worse.  Lebanon could put all suspicions to rest by ending  its secrecy and inviting Ethiopian, Boeing and others  to share the information it has.  Until then, Lebanon is fueling the potential for an ugly international incident.  Under the circumstances, it's natural to conclude that Lebanon believes it would be damaging to share the information it has and would rather provoke condemnation for being obstructive.
A few weeks ago Ethiopia asked for 'international help' with the investigation. This request for help is an indirect way of expressing its increasingly stronger suspicion of  Lebanon's secrecy.
Last week, Ethiopia sued Boeing, the maker of  the 737.  This was probably a routine legal step, just covering the right for a future claim if needed.  But the suit reminds us that Boeing wants an honest investigation so that aircraft failure doesn't become a compromise villain that gets both Ethiopia and Lebanon off, if they should want that.  Boeing has been involved in the accident investigation from the beginning as it usually is when one of its planes is involved, It has a lot more clout among governments, and obviously in Washington, than does Ethiopia.
The information from the black boxes will be available soon, but will be tainted by suspected Lebanese tampering. Â There are now unofficial but public Ethiopian suspicions that would be unsafe to publish without government approval. Â They are provoked by Lebanese refusal to cooperate. Â Is Lebanon trying to manipulate the investigation? Â Are there several minutes missing from both the cockpit voice recorder and the recording of the tower's exchanges with the cockpit after takeoff, as is alleged in the Ethiopian press?
Ethiopia's insinuation is, of course, that the crash was caused by unknown 'foul play', that Lebanon suspects this also and is doing its best to suppress evidence of this. Â Early news reports mentioned 'witnesses' who saw the plane in flames before it hit the water. Â The tower says that the pilot disregarded its instructions and turned in the opposite direction. Â Did that happen? Â Does the tape include an explanation from the plane, if it happened? Â Was there a bomb in the luggage? Â Did a terrorist manage to get onto the plane and even into the cockpit?
The world press has given little coverage to this story after the initial days, over a month ago. Â The Ethiopian press has said little until now, repeating the insistence that all possible explanations must remain on the table until they are eliminated by evidence.
Most of the information presented above comes from the Lebanese press, which has given the story extensive coverage. Local interest is great because there were many Lebanese victims. Â Others, including the BBC, Agence France Press, Reuters and the New York Times, cite this same Lebanese source, The Daily Star.
A good record of the press coverage since January 25 can be found at East Africa Forum. Â Most items can be found through the keyword 'crash' in the search engine.
Here's a direct link to yesterday's Reporter story.
Ethiopia lost an airliner in a terrorist hijacking in 1996. Â The plane ran out of fuel, made a forced landing in the ocean near the Comoros Islands, and 52 of the 175 on board survived. Â The hijackers were Somalis. Â Ethiopia-Somali relations are just as bitter today as they were then. Â But if it was a terrorist act, the Somalis aren't the only enemies Ethiopia has.
This clash between Ethiopia and Lebanon shows every sign of growing nastier. Â The only way to prevent this is for Lebanon to share fully what it has learned so far and to let Ethiopia confirm the information to the best of its ability. Â If Lebanon has nothing to hide, this is the obvious approach. Â If it has something to hide, its current approach makes troubling sense.
With every passing day, it seems more likely that Lebanon is engaging in a cover-up to prevent the truth from being known.

Column: Why the date of Easter changes
You may have noticed that Easter moves around a lot. It's not a fixed date on the calendar like Christmas, which is always on December 25.By: Rev. Lawrence Lee, For the Budgeteer News
You may have noticed that Easter moves around a lot. It's not a fixed date on the calendar like Christmas, which is always on December 25.
By contrast, Easter can be any day from March 22 to April 25. Why is that?
Well, Easter, on which Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is linked with the Jewish festival of Passover because Jesus was celebrating the Passover feast (Matthew 26:17 ff, Mark 14:12 ff, Luke 22:1 ff, John 13:1 ff) in Jerusalem when he was arrested and executed. Passover begins on the first full moon after the Spring equinox (Leviticus 23:5), so Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox. Simple enough, right?
But, that's not the end of it. In the West, Christians calculate Easter based on the Council of Nicea's determination, in the year 325, that the Spring equinox was always on March 21; but in reality it can be as early as March 19 or 20. To make matters worse, we calculate Easter based on full-moon charts dating back to 1583 that may be as much as two days off the actual full moon. This adds a certain amount of uncertainty as to when Easter is.
To make matters more complicated, Orthodox Christians calculate Easter differently. They use the actual time of the Spring equinox and the actual full moon, which makes a certain amount of sense, but they also reckon that Easter can't fall within the week of the Passover celebration. So sometimes they have to wait an entire lunar cycle before they have their Easter. As such, the range of dates for Easter for the Orthodox is from April 4 to May 8.
In 2012, Easter on the Western calendar fell on April 8 and for the Orthodox it fell on April 15, but this year Easter is on March 31 for Western Christians but the Orthodox have to wait until May 5.
Easter, then, is special in that it is tied both to the solar and lunar cycles. It reminds us of rhythms in nature that we pay too little attention to these days.
Time, in the ancient world, was an organic thing. We read it in the heavens and in the earth, in the ebb and flow of seasons, with moonrise and sundown. Now it's something we wear on our wrists or check on our phone. It ticks on relentlessly and dispassionately, ignorant of the natural world around us.
As we prepare for Easter and new life, perhaps it is not a bad thing to contemplate our relation to time and the world around us.

Miles-Per-Gallon Gauge
Posts: 2
in General
JC Whitney sells a product called the Miles-Per-Gallon Gauge that I'm considering installing on my 95 4.0 Jeep Cherokee. It costs about $28 (less shipping) and I hear it's basically a glorified vacuum gauge. Have anyone heard anything positive or negative about this product, have an opinion one way or the other as to its accuracy and heard how it's installed?
Also, does anyone know of any other aftermarket fuel mileage gauges that compare the actual flow of fuel to the driveline/tire rotation to measure fuel economy? Thanks.

jneal Posts: 247You heard correctly. J.C. Whitney has been selling those things since I was a kid (long,long time ago) and they are simply a vacuum guage with a different face......Not in the least bit accurate but will help you improve your driving habits so as to get better mpg.
Not sure if there is anything else out there that would actually measure fuel economy on your particular vehicle but I doubt it would be as inexpensive if so. -

jneal Posts: 247One-size fits all.......
It is nothing more than a standard vacuum gauge measuring intake vacuum. You will have to Tee into a existing line. Kit should include any necessary fittings....if not, any good parts house will have the appropriate fittings to splice into your vacuum line. -

In 1492: 25 facts about Christopher Columbus and his disputed holiday
"In 1491, the world was in many of its aspects and characteristics a minimum of two worlds — the New World, of the Americas, and the Old World, consisting of Eurasia and Africa," historian Alfred W. Crosby said in an interview with smithsonianmag.com. "Columbus brought them together, and almost immediately and continually ever since, we have had an exchange of native plants, animals and diseases moving back and forth across the oceans between the two worlds. A great deal of the economic, social and political history of the world is involved in the exchange of living organisms between the two worlds."
In a post at gilderlehrman.org, Crosby writes that the exchange included things like wheat, barley, rice, turnips, maize, sweet potatoes, horses, cattle, sheep, and germs carrying diseases like smallpox, measles, influenza, malaria and yellow fever.

From the article: "Columbus did not believe the world was flat; rather he
believed its circumference was much smaller than it actually is..."
The misconception you're trying to correct is that everyone else thought

It also helped that Marco Polo's map, that Columbus had, had Asia extending 4000 miles further to the east than it does. The combination of believing a smaller earth and the Polo map led Columbus to believe that Asia was only 2500 miles to the west, instead of 12,500 miles.

It's a good thing we have citations of reputable websites to confirm that Washington, District of Columbia, was named after George Washington and Christopher Columbus. I don't think any of us would likely have believed that connection without the backup sources.

But the Norse beat Columbus to America by a mile. The first known European
child born in North America (in Newfoundland at a place now called LaAinse La
Meadows) was a little boy named Snorri Thorfinnsson. He was born between 1004
and 1013 (uncertain) and died about 1090.
Here is a clip from
There is speculation about the birthdate of Snorri
Thorfinnsson. Birth years such as 1005, 1009, and 1012 have been postulated, but
all agree that he was born between 1005 and 1013. According to the Vinland
sagas, when Snorri was 3 years old, his family left Vinland because of
hostilities with indigenous peoples (called Skrælings by the settlers,
which is the Old Norse equivalent of the English term "barbarians"). The
family returned to the Glaumbær farm in Seyluhreppur.
Thorfinnsson had two children; a daughter named Hallfrid, and a son named

@ JP: Actually, very few educated people thought the world was flat by 1942 - the ancient Greeks proved the world was round 2000 years before Columbus was born.

The fact that Columbus' model for the size of the Earth being off was significant. It was one of the reasons the Portuguese were disinterested in his plan because they still preferred going around Africa, which was based on a more accurate model. However, Columbus' "discovery" put Spain in a much better position, but this would come later after Columbus' death when Cortez conquered the Aztec making the Spanish rich.

So what if some Scandinavians discovered America long before Columbus? What did
they do to advance planetary exploration, mapping, circumnavigation,

What difference does it make if I discover a new

Mr. Plate...I think it's worth recognising that the Vikings where here prior to columbus, whether he knew of it or not. The achievements of columbus notwithstanding, it is truly amazing to appreciate the achievement of the vikings to cross the north atlantic and settle what is now the northern peninsula of Newfoundland in the early middle ages. They did make a difference in their day, which was prior to the printing press and renaissance. It is true, however, that no one has a Viking day mattress sale, so that's one for Columbus.

@Kalindra - that's exactly JP's point. The misconception is not that Columbus thought the world was flat. It makes no sense for the article's author to even suggest it. Nobody thinks Columbus believed that. The misconception that needs correcting is that everyone else in Columbus' day thought the world was flat.

Weather data for the ski industry
Add this forecast to your website
The settled weather in the Alps continues with skies mostly blue and temperatures mild, especially on south facing slopes. The snow conditions at lower elevations are now feeling the effect of temperatures being several degrees above 0C through the day but most skiers are enjoying the still excellent snow on higher slopes. The weather will continue like this until the weekend so really perfect Spring style skiing on offer in all leading alpine resorts.
The Alps are still bathed in sunshine and more of the same is expected through Wednesday, and through until the weekend. Skiing on lower elevations is often on Spring like snow conditions as a daytime thaw and night time re freeze affects the snow pack. Upper slopes though still offer dry and groomed snow that is great to ski throughout the day. So really fantastic holiday conditions for skiers right now across the Alps of Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland.
We have excellent Spring ski conditions right across the Alps currently. Warm sunshine and mild air is thawing the snow at lower elevations and on south facing slopes through each afternoon but the highest pistes and high north facing slopes still hold dry snow. Snow depths are reducing but not quickly as night time temperatures fall back below zero degrees C. Generally the snow cover remains good at all elevations in all the leading resorts so really great sunshine skiing is what to expect if you
All the leading alpine resorts are enjoying the same glorious weather currently with almost clear blue skies, mild temperatures and light winds. Snow depths are also exceptionally good, though in the warm sunshine the snow conditions on lower slopes are becoming heavier and Spring style ski conditions are developing. The best snow is now found on pistes above mid station elevation and powder snow can still be found on high north facing slopes.
Really glorious ski conditions in the Alps currently with clear blue skies and sunshine plus superb snow cover - it really does not get much better than this. And the forecast for the next 7 days suggests we have more of the same to come. Temperatures are mild this weekend so as you might expect the snow at lower elevations will become heavier, but otherwise it really is classic Spring skiing conditions in the Alps.
The skies cleared right acrosss the Alps on Friday and every resort was reporting blue skies and unbroken sunshine. Temperatures will still quite cool though, not much above freezing at resort level and this meant the skiing was still on excellent snow conditions, dry and powdery on upper pistes. The avalanche risk is also reducing, typically low to moderate but do check locally advisories and use a guide before heading off piste.
There are excellent skiing conditions in all the leading alpine resorts now and on Friday the skies will be clear allowing prolonged sunshine. Combining the sunshine with the recent fresh and dry snow conditions will make for some of the best conditions of the winter, especially in France, Switzerland and Italy which have experienced so many snow days this year.
The skies are clearing over the Alps and when they do there is fantastic skiing on offer. The forecast suggests we are heading into a period of more settled weather and so skiers right across the Alps will soon be able to make the most of exceptionally deep snow cover in almost all leading resorts. Skiing on piste is typically on groomed powder snow, off piste there is still untracked powder to be found.
Further falls of fresh snow were reported from most of the leading alpine resorts on Tuesday. Skiing is excellent when visibility allows and snow depths are exceptionally good in most areas. Skiers are now looking forward to some sunshine to really maximise enjoyment of the amazing snow conditions and the forecast suggests this Friday and the weekend will be the first fully sunny days we have seen for some time.
Really excellent skiing conditions now in all the leading alpine resorts, many of which have deep fresh dry snow conditions. The avalanche risk in the western and central Alps is high now so do refer to local risk warnings and employ a mountain guide if skiing off piste. The forecast for the rest of the week is unsettled with variable visibility and further snow showers, but when the sunshine returns conditions will be superb.
The western Alps of France and Italy often had sunshine skiing on fresh snow on Sunday and it was wonderful. Central and eastern parts were affected by cloud and fresh snow and generally poor visibility reduced the enjoyment on offer. The week ahead looks unsettled with further snow and variable visibility. Snow depths and quality though remain excellent in all leading alpine resorts.
On Saturday some resorts in the western Alps had 30cm plus of fresh snowfall and most alpine resorts, except this in Austria, reported new snow. On Sunday there will be some further light snowfall, but this time more orientated towards Austria. With improved visibility and fresh snow conditions there will be great sport on offer for Sunday. Please note in the northern French Alps, Switzerland and the western Italian Alps the avalanche risk is again high.
Fresh snow is moving over the Alps and more expected is through Saturday in most of the leading alpine resorts. Accumulations of 20 to 30cm possible in places. For skiers this will often mean reduced visibility so good quality ski googles are advised. Daytime temperatures will be close to 0C at resorts level so expect good snow conditions at all elevations, but the driest snow above mid mountain. The avalanche risk is rising again so check local advisories and employ a local guide before heading off piste.
Variable cloud cover, snow showers and sunny spells are what skiers in the Alps currently have overhead but the snow conditions are consistently good in all the leading alpine resorts. Skiing is typically on packed powder snow on upper slopes and firm packed snow on resorts runs. Resorts in the western Alps often have powder snow conditions off piste. The forecast suggests further scattered snow showers to come and generally unsettled wintry weather for the next few days.
On Wednesday fresh snow arrived first in the French Alps and the western Italian Alps and headed west. All leading alpine resorts have excellent snow conditions currently and subject to overhead conditions the skiing is great at all elevations. Further fresh snowfall is expected in the Alps by the weekend, with the heaviest snow tending to be over France and Switzerland and western Italy.
There is excellent skiing in the Alps currently with all leading alpine resorts offering more or less all uplift and all pistes at all elevations. Recent sunshine in the Alps will be replaced by cloud and fresh snow approaching from the west Wednesday and the rest of the week looks unsettled with fresh snow likely to affect all resorts by the weekend.
Monday was another superb ski day in the Alps with sunshine overhead and mostly dry groomed snow under ski. Temperatures are remaining cool enough to avoid any significant snow loss at resort level, temperature highs not far above freezing in most leading alpine resorts. Tuesday will start in similar fashion but the western Alps will see cloud and then fresh snow arrive later in the day.
Skiers in the Alps on Sunday were calling it a
Excellent conditions in the Alps with fresh snow at all elevations in most leading resorts. Temperatures have dropped slightly and this has improved conditions on lower slopes. Prospects for Sunday looks excellent as skies finally clear right across the Alps and this will mean superb piste conditions and an opportunity to explore off piste, with local guides recommended.
On Friday there was fresh snow moving over the Alps from west to east and this will continue on Saturday morning over Austria and the Dolomites. As the snowfall clears this weekend there will be good visibility and some sunshine and this will mean excellent conditions for skiers in all the leading alpine resorts with snow depths in the southern French Alps and right across Italy far above the seasonal norm.
There were wonderful ski conditions on offer in many parts of the Alps on Thursday with sunshine allowing skiers to fully enjoy the fresh and dry snow cover. On Friday another snow front will arrive in the French and Swiss Alps and slowly move east along the Alps. Good ski googles are advised to maximise enjoyment of the fresh snowfall in poor visibility.
The Alps on Wednesday had rather cloudy skies with temperatures relatively mild in most of the leading resorts. Fresh dry snow was reported on high pistes but wet snow was more typical below mid station. The forecast for Thursday looks much brighter and so skiers will find the best conditions at the higher elevations. With good visibility expected an excellent ski day is in prospect.
It was not snowing in the Alps for a change on Tuesday and with reasonably good visibility in most regions there was excellent sport of offer with skiers typically enjoying fresh and groomed snow conditions at all elevations. On Wednesday more snow is expected and it will be heavy at times. The avalanche risk will again rise so off piste skiers should heed local warnings and employ a guide whenever possible.
Monday morning saw further heavy snowfall in the Dolomites and Austria whilst the skies began to clear over France, Switzerland and the western Alps of Italy. Conditions are really excellent in all the leading resorts with fresh snow conditions and deep snow cover at all elevations. Tuesday should have decent visibility and perhaps some sunshine to enjoy the sport on offer but further snowfall is expected again on Wednesday.
Fresh snow fell right across the Alps on Sunday with falls of 10 to 20cm typical in many resorts. The snowfall will be clear of the western Alps on Monday morning, clearing the eastern Alps late in the day. This all means that piste conditions remain excellent at all elevations and when visibility improves there will be great sport on offer. Off piste the avalanche risk is mostly high so check local advisories and employ a guide whenever possible.
The Alps are enjoying superb snow cover and there is good or excellent skiing available in all the leading alpine resorts. On Sunday further fresh snowfall is expected right across the region but on Monday brighter skies will move in from the west and this will provide the ideal combination of good visibility overhead and fresh snow under ski.
There are fresh snow conditions in all the leading alpine resorts and excellent skiing conditions on offer. The freezing level is rising now but will still remain well below mid mountain elevation in most resorts. The best skiing will generally be found on higher slopes, with Saturday offering mostly good visibility, whilst Sunday will see further fresh snowfall in many parts of the Alps.
There was sunshine skiing on offer in most alpine resorts on Thursday but fresh snow arrived in the western Alps through the afternoon. On Friday and Saturday it will be mostly dry with some good visibility but the freezing level will rise above resort level and this mean the best snow conditions will be found at the higher elevations. All leading resorts continue to offer good or excellent skiing at all elevations.
On Wednesday skiers enjoyed periods of sunshine and good visibility in many of the leading alpine resorts. All resorts have good or very good snow conditions at all elevations and more or less all pistes are open. More snow will arrive on Thursday, first affecting the French Alps then slowly moving east. The weekend forecast suggest more snow to come, but also less cold air so the best snow will be found on the higher pistes.
The Alps are offering excellent skiing conditions currently. In the Southern French Alps and right across the Italian Alps from Aosta in the west to the Dolomites in the east, the conditions are exceptionally good with deep fresh powder snow skiing available. The forecast for Wednesday suggests skiers will have some sunshine and good visibility to enjoy the fine snow conditions.

What does it take to get a black belt in Taekwondo?
This can differ so much from school to school, and within substyles of TKD. If you've been practicing for 2-3 months (presumably with an instructor / at a school), why not just ask your instructor? There's no telling how applicable, or not, replies you get here will be for your school. |

How do you take Notes on techniques you've learnt in class?
You can learn "in practice", but a technique might have a specific tricky sequence of steps that you tend to forget while first learning it and you want to write it down while fresh in your mind so you can go over it again (mentally or for real) before the next class. Or your school may have a bunch of specific named or numbered techniques, and while you may execute them just fine you have trouble keeping the numbering or nomenclature straight and want to go over it every day until you have it down. |

Can I start martial arts after a minor disc herniation?
The thing with early 20's is that people of that age are stupid and inexperienced. When things hurt, they don't take it easy or seek the right medical attention, instead they try to push through as if they were indestructible and make it worse. In my case, I felt the pain in my leg, self-treated it as a pulled hamstring (and thus doing activities that actually made it worse). When I finally went to a doctor, they said "I can tell from the way you're standing that the problem is your back, not your leg." Dumb kid. |
