So I suck at mapping, at least i think so. I'm really posting her to see what I've got wrong and/or what is alright thus far in my attempts. I'll try to explain what i've done and why i did this or that.
Also because this is multiple big images please be mindful of my bandwidth ^.^ The file sizes are around 500kb and the big one is around 1.2mb
First off I used donjon's fractal map generator giving me this...
I am giving that first largely too give some more context to the main area i'm working on...
It is 4000x2000 px map and 1px = 10km
Next a probably not so important map to most... a wind map. the light blow overlay is the westernly wind bands and the non highlighted are the easternly wind bands. the red and blue arrow is just to help see which way the wind is going... this is all pretty much worthless though as a little research into meteorology indicates that the entire planet would be really rainy every where.
1000x500 1px = 40km
next is important to city placement. It's the general expansion of humans out of where they first were... This is in general and more or less sloppy. I have a more detailed one started, but the dates are unreadable when squeezed to this size and it's not too important so i chucked it.
1000x500 1px = 40km
Now... here's the more regional thing i've been working on...
this is just a resize of the area i'm focusing on
800x800 1px = 5km? (the rest are all this size)
I through a few lines to help me keep in mine where the basins are likely to be for rivers...
I drew a basic map of the political borders, generally following the idea that darker areas will likely have a river and those places are generally where political boundaries are placed and trying to keep to a around 250,000-500,000 km^2 area for each political region
Then I put hex grids on the map (not on the image) and started drawing rivers based on the heights shown and the how it might flow from the high points, slightly forced to follow what i want. The rivers are drawn along the borders of hex lines mainly and areas that might be filled to make the river continue are shown as such. I took off the hex grid and made it so the color height thing is gone as it is easier to see that way in my opinion.
The little red dots are cities. They are just placed where they would generally be. I'll likely move them closer to the rivers. The idea is that the center-ish city is a trade hub between several settlements. The one to the west. The north easter one from it is supposed to be a fishing city and the idea behind the trade route thing is that this is a central cross roads that has to be taken in and out of the area. The North western city, the west most city and the south most city are supposed to be sorta border military out posts that developed from settlements that grew from migration patterns. The city that is to the south east is supposed to be a college city possibly, established later on.
Now do you think these are about the right positions and should there be more major cities and if so, about where should they go? Also do the rivers look ok
Pre-someone saying something about the rivers pretty much connecting to the two side of the continent. I saw that, but the Basin allows for it if you have that northernly river between those two lakes feeding the eastern lake and it just happens that the terrain creates a lake on the western side of it. So physically i don't think it is a problem.

STEUBENVILLE - For the fourth time since Harrison Central was formed through a consolidation, the Huskies can call themselves OVAC baseball champions.
Saturday afternoon at Vaccaro Field, No. 1 seeded Harrison Central (16-5) used a complete-game mound effort from Rashaen Mitchell in beating second-seeded Steubenville, 11-4, to capture the Class 4A title.
The 6-foot-7 senior southpaw struck out 11, including the last out of the game, and walked just two. He allowed five singles - four in the second inning when Big Red (15-6) tallied three of its runs.
"This feels great," Mitchell said. "When we started out as freshmen we didn't win too many games. Now that we've worked our way to the top, it feels good that we've won a title."
Harrison Central took advantage of whatever Steubenville would give it, and that turned out to be a lot as Big Red committed four errors and a pair of pitchers issued nine walks in six innings.
"Mitchell threw a good game," veteran Steubenville coach Fred Heatherington said. "Offensively, I thought we did well. We put the bat on the ball, and we were disciplined at the plate, but defensively, we were pitiful. Our defense killed us."
Harrison Central coach Justin Clifford agreed with Heatherington on Mitchell's outing, which included 116 pitches (71 strikes).
"We weren't thinking (of getting) seven innings from him," Clifford said. "We were thinking four or five, but he kept coming in and telling me he wanted to keep going.
"What can you say about the kid?"
The Huskies grabbed an early lead with two runs in the bottom of the first.
Mitchell, who was on base all four times he went to the plate (three walks, single), drew a free pass with two outs from Big Red starter Anthony Zorne. When Mitchell took second on a passed ball, Heatherington elected to intentionally walk Nick Pelegreen. Drew Horn's ensuing chopper to third turned into an infield single to load the bases, but they didn't stay that way very long as Nick Staten walked on a 3-2 pitch to force in a run. A wild pitch during Rhett Kuryn's at-bat made it 2-0.
Big Red came right back with a three-spot in the second when Justin Corsi lined a leadoff single to left. One out later, Pat Pizzoferrato singled sharply to center. Kai McClurg's slow roller to short loaded the bases. A wild pitch scored one run and Lucas Herington's single to right on a 1-1 pitch chased home Pizzoferrato and McClurg to give Steubenville a 3-2 edge.
Mitchell helped himself out with a two-out opposite-field single to left that knocked in Dalton Rutter, who had walked, to tie the game at 3-3.
With Mitchell settling into a groove, the Huskies broke the game wide-open with a five-run fourth as all nine batters went to the plate.
A bases-loaded walk and wild pitch and ensuing error allowed the first three runs to score. Then Kuryn sent a drive to deep left for a run-scoring double, making it 8-3.
Matt Petrella's RBI single in the fifth made it 8-4, but Kuryn capped a three-run sixth with a sacrifice fly to center. That came after a wild pitch allowed another runner to score. Staten added an RBI single.

Hair thinning and hair loss affects millions of men and women in the United States and can be brought about by myriad factors from hormonal imbalances to side effects from prescription medications. No matter what the cause of your hair loss, you likely feel helpless as you watch areas of thinning increase in size, but with the right treatment, many people manage to slow down the progression of thinning and even regrow hair in bald spots. The Tricomin hair care collection by ProCyte is designed to help you fight back against hair loss and thicken and strengthen your hair.
Shop all products by ProCyte including Neova and Tricomin.
The Tricomin hair care collection contains a copper peptide complex, which helps to increase the width of the hair strands, making your locks thicker each time you shampoo and condition. In clinical trials, copper has been shown to stimulate the hair follicles, increasing the rate of growth and helping new growth begin in areas affected by hair loss. Designed as a full regimen, the Tricomin range allows you to battle hair loss while you shower and afterward through scientifically-formulated shampoos, conditioners and treatments.
Hair loss is a very common problem experienced by both men and women. Rather than suffer the emotional effects of hair thinning and loss, many happy customers rely on Tricomin for fuller, healthier locks.
The Tricomin Solution is based on Copper Peptide technology which is proven to safely and effectively restore healthy skin and hair. Copper is an essential mineral that is required for hair growth. As the body ages, less copper can be found in the scalp and follicles. This leads to hair thinning and loss. Tricomin Shampoos and Tricomin Sprays are designed to stimulate the scalp, encouraging growth and restoring health. The system can even be combined with other hair loss treatments for an extra boost.
Tricomin Revitalizing Shampoo by ProCyte nourishes the hair and scalp with essential amino acids and minerals. The formula cleanses while also adding body and life to limp and thinning hair. With regular use, damage is repaired and health is restored to both the hair and the scalp.
Tricomin Follicle Therapy Spray by ProCyte can be used by both men and women who are experiencing hair thinning. The Tricomin Therapy Spray acts as a leave-in treatment that conditions the scalp with the copper nutritional complex unique to Tricomin products. The blend of minerals and amino acids helps stimulate the scalp to increase growth. The non-greasy formula will not interfere with hair styling. Tricomin can be used daily after shampooing and can also be applied to dry hair during the day.
You may buy Tricomin hair care products as a single purchase or receive a discount when you setup an automatic shipment. Automatic shipments do not require a coupon to receive savings.

Idaho Politician Claims Amnesia Related to DUI Accident
An Idaho politician who was involved in a DUI arrest last Father's Day claims that he cannot remember many details about his arrest, which has troubled skeptical voters and members of his own party in the Idaho Senate.
According to a recent report from the Idaho Press-Tribune, which recently interviewed Rep. John McGee about his DUI arrest, McGee's arrest came after his erratic driving caused him to jackknife an SUV and its cargo trailer.
After McGee was arrest, police discovered that his blood alcohol level was almost twice the legal limit, although the politician still contends that he remembers nothing from that night. McGee said he remembers having a few "celebratory drinks" after winning a golf tournament, but that the rest of the night was a blur.
For his actions, McGee pleaded guilty to the charge of a DUI, but police later dropped their charge that he was driving the car without the owner's consent.
After his guilty plea, McGee spent 36 hours in jail (which was a far cry from the possible 180 days he could have spent behind bars), and performed 24 hours of community service. He was also fined $1,000 and, because it was his first offense, under Idaho DUI law, the arrest may be removed from his record if he follows the terms of his probation.
Of course, while his criminal record may eventually be clear, his record in the court of public opinion may have suffered long-term damage.
This week, the senator will learn whether he will retain his position as the Republican Senate Caucus chairman, or if his party will remove him from the position for fear of a public outcry.
Too be fair, McGee certainly isn't the first politician who has recovered his position after a DUI accident, but the Idaho public remains skeptical about his ability to serve as a senator.
Nevertheless, McGee continues to fight for his position in the senate, and pictures he showed the Idaho Press-Tribune seem to support his claim that the injuries he suffered in the accident have fogged his memory of the events that led up to the crash.
Sources indicate that these photos reveal discoloration and a wide scab on the top of his head, as well bruises and deep abrasions on his waist, left knee, and torso.
And, despite McGee's poor decision—which he readily admits was wrong—he may offer a good example of an otherwise responsible person who made one terrible decision.
Many DUI arrests, in fact, involve responsible members of the community who don't know their own limits. In order to avoid making a similar mistake, other drivers should remember that getting behind the wheel after a few drinks is never worth the risk to one's reputation.

Country singer Loretta Lynn is recuperating after reportedly suffering minor burns following a blaze at her home on Tuesday morning.
The fire started when a candle's flame set a chair ablaze in the conservatory of the 81-year-old's Hurricane Mills, Tennessee property at around 9.30am local time.
According to a report from local Nashville news station WTVF-TV, Lynn burned her fingertips as as she attempted to put out the flames with a pillow.
Officials confirm everyone inside the property got out safely and the fire was quickly extinguished by Humphreys County Emergency Management officials.
It's not the first time emergency services officials have been called to put out a fire on Lynn's property – last year a blaze destroyed a shack on the estate.

Great job, congratulations. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.
After a few hundred hrs of weighing gear, conditioning, and staring at google earth, I was as ready as I would ever be for my first out of state hunt. My goal was to find a big wilderness area that I could get lost in. The Frank Church won out. After 2 days I had to abandon my spike camp and get to a better sleeping pad. My old broken neck is a little less forgiving than I thought when it comes to roughing it. I am working on a solution for my November hunt.
The elk appeared scarce, especially now that I was running out of a small base camp and had to return everyday. It took me a few days to find some good sign, and I set up a plan to target those areas every morning and evening. I would hunt the surrounding timber strips during the day, while still returning every night to my target area.
Day 5 came with a nice wet rain/snow. I assumed everything would be hunkered down, but I generally hunt all day everyday no matter what the weather. The old idea that being out there is step one always rings in my head. After many hours sneeking through the timber, I made my way back to my evening vantage point. I was especially excited because the weather had broken in about the last hour. With light fading fast, I disected the area. Finally I spotted a loan elk, and it was a legal branch bull. I was able to close the deal.
A little 5x5, but I was thrilled to find him. A great ending to my first out of state hunt. Now I have a benchmark to improve on when I come back!!
I was fortunate enough to be only a little over a mile from camp, and got him all packed out by daylight the next day. Please forgive the head shot and the crumby field pick. It was dark, I couldn't get my timer to work on my wet camera, and the wolves were already scaring the @#$% out of me.
I will attach a few of my field picks and a nice buck I got to bother along the way. Keep the good stories coming!!
Great job, congratulations. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.
Congrats, thanks for sharing.
Great job, Thank you for sharing! Well done Sir.
Great job and good story! That is the kind of out of state hunt that you want to start on!
Nice work ttt! Hats off to you on getting it done solo in a new area. I hope your November hunt goes even better!
Congratulations! Was this a rifle hunt? How long did you plan on staying in there?
Congrats! It must really suck to have to pack out all of your camp after killing out early.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

How to switch languages: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-fire-up...nning-language
Hi, I'm about to start doing a tutorial by RobA for GIMP, and I'd like my program to be in english, as is the tutorial. I am from Brazil, and my computer was bought there, but my Windows is in english and my current location is Spain, so why the heck did GIMP decide to install the portuguese version?? lol I couldn't find a way to change language or to select it before downloading from sourceforge, so I'm assuming I have to dowload an EN installer from somewhere else. Anyone has a link to one?
Wow, so simple, and all I had to do for it to take effect was restart the program, no need to reinstall. Thank you very much Hai-Etlik!!!
No problem, also, any other software that uses LANG to determine the language should automatically be in English too; Inkscape for instance.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The wife of Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson says she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, but has an excellent prognosis after surgery and radiation treatments in Louisville.
Madeline Abramson, who is 57, told the Lexington Herald-Leader (http://bit.ly/1edER9S) on Wednesday about her ordeal after the newspaper questioned her about her health. She said she decided to share her story as a way to emphasize preventative care.
Abramson, who has long advocated early cancer detection, said hers was discovered in April during a routine mammogram and follow-up testing.
Abramson she is still taking medicine, but, "I feel good and I feel healthy."

May 24, 2016
Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force say they've arrested the last 2-suspects in a weekend kidnapping in Okaloosa County.
28-year olds Bertina Eloise Krider and Shannon Elizabeth Yeary were captured early Thursday morning around 1 a.m. at a home on Kelly Mill Road in Niceville.
They join 22-year old Brittany Plitt, 23-year old Heather Sutton, and 28-year old Chase Stewart as suspects in Sunday's kidnapping of 23-year old Bethany Stanley of Niceville.
Okaloosa County sheriff's investigators say the group believed Stanley had stolen drugs from one of them. They allegedly tied-up Stanley, beat her, burned her with a cigarette, then took her to a home in Destin, where authorities found them Monday afternoon.
Plitt, Sutton, Krider, and Yeary are being held without bond on kidnapping, robbery and aggravated assault.
Stewart's being held on 250-dollars bond for accessory to kidnapping.

Man charged third time with burglary
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.
OCALA - An 18-year-old man previously charged with allegedly committing two robberies has been arrested a third time, for armed residential burglary and grand theft.
Early last month, residents of a northwest Ocala home reported someone burglarized the residence and stole an electronic game system, discs for the system and a Smith and Wesson 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
Detective Steve Danuhauer got a description of the person allegedly responsible for the burglary as well a description of the clothing that person was wearing.
The detective recovered the clothing and the game console.
Last week, a traffic stop by an Ocala police officer led to recovery of the firearm. One of the occupants of the vehicle said two of his friends brokered a deal with Quantre Demell Scott, who sold them the weapon.
Danuhauer then found the two men who alleged that Scott sold them the firearm.
On Tuesday, the detective went to the Marion County Jail and re-arrested Scott.
Scott has also been accused of robbing a store owner and an Ocala business last year.

Doug Washington Talks Anchor & Hope
The dynamic trio behind Salt House and Town Hall (Doug Washington and Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal) are at it again. Their latest venture, Anchor & Hope, is an oyster and fish house with a San Francisco sensibility—it's opening April 21 (83 Minna St., 415-501-9100). Here, Doug Washington (the front-of-the-house man) dishes on the new spot.
How did you come up with the name?
Anchor and Hope is the name of an old tavern in London that we absolutely love.
Did you try to evoke that pub in any other way?

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Cardinals have the upperhand
in the World Series after a crazy ending to Game 3 at Busch Stadium.
Will Middlebrooks was called for obstructing Allen Craig's path to home plate,
and the Cardinals were awarded the winning run with two outs in the bottom of
the ninth inning in a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Yadier Molina singled and Craig, in a pinch-hit role, doubled to the left
field corner against Koji Uehara.
Jon Jay then hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who threw
home to nail Molina. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia threw low to third to try
and get Craig. The ball caromed off the glove of Middlebrooks and Craig's arm
and bounced away.
As Craig, running on a sprained left foot, tried to get up and run home,
Middlebrooks, who was lying on his stomach, raised his feet. Craig tripped and
stumbled home. Saltalamacchia applied the tag off the throw from left fielder
Daniel Nava, but third base umpire Jim Joyce ruled Middlebrooks impeded
Craig's progress.
The result gave the Cardinals a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series with Game
4 scheduled for Sunday night.

|Jim Baldonado's company the elite sponsor at Larry the Cable Guy Team Jack Foundation event in Lincoln
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 01 May 2014 00:00
Jim Baldonado's business, The Home Agency, was the elite sponsor and donated $50,000 to the Team Jack Foundation at the Larry the Cable Guy event last Friday night at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. Baldonado and his family presented a check to the Team Jack Foundation on stage before Larry the Cable Guy came out. Here, they pose with the check prior to the show.

The Wauneta Breeze
Wauneta native Jim Baldonado believes in giving back. Last week, Baldonado, his family and his business, The Home Agency, gave back in a big way. The Home Agency served as the elite sponsor of the Larry the Cable Guy Team Jack Foundation event in Lincoln last Friday night, April 25, at the Pinnacle Bank Arena.
In addition to sponsoring the event, the company gave a $50,000 donation to the Team Jack Foundation, which works to fund relevant pediatric brain cancer research.
Giving back in such a way was made possible by the success Baldonado and his family have enjoyed over the years, something he credits to the work ethic and responsibility he learned from living in a small town such as Wauneta.
Baldonado graduated from Wauneta High School in 1975, where he was active in sports and a member of the W Club.
"Growing up in a small town teaches kids a work ethic that a lot of people don't get in a city," explains Baldonado. "They have responsibilities at a young age."
After high school he attended McCook Junior College for a year and then moved to Lincoln for seven years. In Lincoln he became involved in the life insurance business, which allowed for his move to Elwood in 1983. However, Baldonado continues to be connected to Wauneta.
After moving to Elwood, Baldonado focused on life insurance for three years before moving into all lines of insurance in 1986.
When he started in Elwood, Baldonado managed an agency for two years before he became a partner in the business. Over the next 15 years he and his family bought out all other partners and became the sole owners of The Home Agency.
Family is important to Baldonado. His entire family is actively involved in the business as owners. His family consists of wife, Sharri, and daughters Sara Ross, who serves as the company's marketing manager, Morgan Yardley, who is in charge of internet sales, and Megan Baldonado, who works as a court reporter for the district court in Omaha.
The Home Agency has grown significantly since its beginning in 1986. Based in Elwood, it now has 17 offices in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa. "If we find an area we like, we will go to that area and start an agency," says Baldonado. He says their preference is to start new agencies from scratch, rather than purchase an existing agency.
The Home Agency has become one of the largest crop insurance writers in the nation, a designation Baldonado said it has held for the past 10-15 years.
Baldonado sees differences between his work ethic and those of his competitors, especially those in eastern Nebraska saying, "They have work hours, we don't." He explained that while others may take business calls between the hours of 8 and 5, he and his agents regularly take business calls until 8 or 9 at night. "We're service oriented."
Recently Baldonado and The Home Agency were honored for their commitment to customers as a Farmers Alliance Advantage Agent for 2014 by the Farmers Alliance Companies in McPherson, Kan. Farmers Alliance stated that in order to receive the designation a company must exhibit superior professionalism and profitability over five consecutive years. Farmers Alliance considers Advantage Agents as "the best of the best."
The Home Agency was also recently recognized by Farmers Mutual of Nebraska as a top agency.
Baldonado and The Home Agency have also been recognized nationally for their efforts. In 2002 Baldonado was one of three finalists for Hispanic Business Magazine's Entrepreneur of the Year.
In 2009 the same magazine recognized The Home Agency as one of the 100 fastest growing Hispanic-owned companies in the nation, The Home Agency ranked 59th.
The Home Agency has also been on Hispanic Business magazine's top 500 largest Hispanic-owned company list since 2009. When the company first entered the list it was ranked 494 with a yearly revenue of $4.98 million and 20 employees. Since then, The Home Agency has moved steadily up the list. As of 2013 the Home Agency holds the rank of 398 with a yearly revenue of $4.44 million and 24 employees.

I think is it native for Postfix but after upgraded to ZCS 7.0, seems the all mails returned when sending to a Domain without MX record.
Please advice clearly. I have go though a lot of forums and still got no exact answer.
There is quite a few of my client using a single server as host and email, according to some other threads in other forum, the Postfix should try the A record host if the MX record is not found for a domain. I believe I need my Zimbra work in this behavior, so looking for help.
Hi Bill,
and you know, users are idiots, they keep asking why can do the same with hotmail but not our own server. I need this to be done.
Can anyone please help?
Would be good to have some more information.
yes, Postfix *should* try the A record for 'the domain' (IE, everything to the right of the '@') *if* there is no relevant MX record.
What -exactly- is going on? what domain is failing?
What do the logs show?
Are you getting rejected, or bounced?
Need more information.
2.Does MTA Check for DNS in Server Settings and the same in Global Setting ?
3.How Does Zimbra Server resolve Names ? Does the server has DNS (Bind) Installed and configured properly ?
Hi Himan,
Yes, the system returned the following mail
This is the mail system at host mx.marveldigital.com.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
<firstname.lastname@example.com>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=aspa.it type=MX: Host not found, try again
And I learn from other forum that Posfix only try to send to A record under certain condition but I cannot get a overall summary to check with.
I have firewall in front of the zimbra and the DNS is pointed to the firewall, nslookup do resolve domains.
Can you give me some detail of how to check if everything required is ok?
The machine at the A record for domain aspa.it doesn't have anything listening on the SMTP port, so
it would fail anyway.
eh.... This is just one of those. But how can I check whether my Zimbra does try sending to the A record?

It is no coincidence that areas of linguistic and ethnic diversity are also areas rich in biodiversity. Most of the world's languages are spoken by indigenous and other tribal peoples in countries that harbour great biodiversity. When a language dies, we also stand to lose the local ecological knowledge and wisdom that reposes in that language.
IUCN seeks to support conservation conservation of the world's cultural diversity and of traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous and traditional peoples. To this end, IUCN works actively in international fora such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Traditional ecological knowledge has very important functions and offers fundamental contributions to biodiversity conservation. Among other benefits, it can provide a long-term perspective of ecosystem dynamics, based on ancestral contact and interaction with habitats and species. It has been also frequently documented that traditional peoples have developed sophisticated classificatory systems, in many cases producing more complete taxonomies than those of Western science. Traditional knowledge is a fundamental component of the cultural adaptation to natural conditions.
Bio-Cultural Diversity
It is no coincidence that areas of linguistic and ethnic diversity are also areas rich in biodiversity. Most of the world's languages are spoken by indigenous and other tribal peoples in countries that harbour great biodiversity. When a language dies, we also stand to lose the local ecological knowledge and wisdom that reposes in that language.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) embraces the importance of cultural diversity and traditional knowledge. The CBD's Article 8(j) on Traditional Knowledge, Innovations and Practices calls on Parties to "respect, preserve and maintain knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and promote their wider application with the approval and involvement of the holders of such knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of such knowledge innovations and practices".
IUCN has passed a number of resolutions and recommendations relating to the means for communities to conserve, value, protect and apply traditional knowledge. IUCN is also concerned about the links of traditional knowledge, cultural diversity and intellectual property rights. The 1996 WCC passed Resolution 1.50 on "Indigenous Peoples, Intellectual Property Rights, and Biological Diversity" that called for "(…) respect for cultural diversity, including linguistic diversity, as a basic condition to maintain and protect indigenous knowledge (…) establishment of a process which facilitates the recognition of indigenous peoples knowledge as the intellectual property of its holder (…) recognition of the principle that use of the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities be made with their approval and consultation, and that indigenous peoples and local communities share equitably in the benefits deriving from such use (…) establishment of national policies to ensure the promotion, recovery, systematization and strengthening of indigenous knowledge related to biodiversity with the prior informed consent of the peoples concerned".
Biocultural Diversity Conservation: A Global Sourcebook
Given the growing focus within CEESP and IUCN in general on the links between culture and conservation and between biodiversity and cultural diversity, CEESP members should be interested in the forthcoming book Biocultural Diversity Conservation: A Global Sourcebook, by Luisa Maffi and Ellen Woodley (to be published by Earthscan in February 2010, with IUCN sponsorship). …

And therein lies the perennial problem with Palin- everything she does is so fake, so contrived, so put-on by the political-media machine.

Sarah Palin's New Show Under Fire For Using Old Interviews
6 comments:
- Teresa said...
Actually this isn't Palin's problem, but rather one that Fox News created and in which the network royally screwed Palin. She is merely hosting this program and not in on the production aspect of the show. Palin is as real as she can be. She is not a fake at all. She is sincere, and moreso than most politicians or people in the political sphere.
- April 1, 2010 at 9:44 PM
- W. E. Messamore said...
Lol- I knew you would disagree when I posted this, Teresa. I'll grant that this little screw up was Fox's problem more than Palin's. And a lot of other hitches in her career were the McCain people's doing. But in the end, for her to speak at tea parties after supporting bailouts, to urge fiscal restraint after running record budgets as mayor and governor, and finally- to go and campaign for John McCain in Arizona just a few days ago... all these things make her seem very fake to me. I want to like her. I want her to be the person that many people think she is. But I just don't think she is that person.
- April 1, 2010 at 10:52 PM
- Teresa said...
In regards to her campaigning for McCain, I do believe that she is in a tough spot on this one. Palin coming onto the national scene was not possible without McCain. She owes a lot of her latest success to McCain so I believe she feels like she owed him for helping to bring her success. But, I agree with Ronald Reagan's statement, "My eighty-percent friend is not my twenty-percent enemy."
I would bet that she agrees with most of J.D. Hayworths positions (if not moreso than McCain's) but felt like she at least owed him this much-campaigning for him)
Please take a look at this:

I think some of the reasoning on that page is pretty flimsy. It seems like the person writing it is concerned with defending Palin more than with true conservatism. It is possible- even easy- to do a lot better than she did as governor, if you simply have the principles and the guts to follow through on them. Gary Johnson was in a 2 - 1 Democratic state with a Democratic legislature hell-bent on growing government, but managed to make serious reforms that should shame Palin.

- The Keeper Of Odd Knowledge (KOOK) said...
I am with you W.E. I want so bad to think she will do great things for us, but as much as I do think she is better than most, I am starting to wonder, and frankly tire of her just a little. neverless, the liberals are terrified of her, and that is worth something.
- April 2, 2010 at 6:25 PM
- W. E. Messamore said...
She does concern me greatly. Her nomination by the GOP would make the tea party irrelevant and the GOP impotent.

East Wheeling Greenhouse To Produce Food Year-Round
September 22, 2013
WHEELING — The idea of a farmers' market in the middle of February may sound absurd to a lot of people, but a group of community gardeners preparing to build a greenhouse on a vacant lot in East......
Who owns the vacant lot? Do these people have permission to use it? Who is liable in the event of an injury or lawsuit?
With so many slimy lawyers looking for work, it is good to know the answers to these questions.

APA Session Rule #4
19 comments:
Philosophers Anonymous Rule # 72:
Every post should be concluded with the parenthetical, "(Yes, I've seen this happen!)"
- March 18, 2012 at 5:37 PM
Excellent rule!
I've seen this happen twice. Both times at the APA. Once the commentator said that the paper presented was not the paper he had been given and the comments he had prepared were completely off-topic so there was no point in reading them. Poor bugger.
Why would a presentator do such a thing? WHy not just prepare a response to the commentator?
- March 18, 2012 at 5:43 PM
I almost did this on my first conference talk ever. I actually asked the commentator if I could correct it since obviously it would require changes in the commentary, and was told i'd have a chance to respond anyways. Whew!
- March 18, 2012 at 6:55 PM
One time a distinguished philosopher gave me the comments the night before the presentation. This was a particularly miserable experience.
- March 18, 2012 at 10:42 PM
A few years back, the person on whose paper I was commenting managed to hit the d-bag trifecta: he significantly changed the paper he gave in light of the objections I'd made; he did this without any acknowledgement that he was doing so or, afterwards, that he'd done so; he took about 35 minutes to present his paper. Maybe he thought since I wouldn't need to give my comments, he'd just take that time.
- March 19, 2012 at 12:04 AM
- March 19, 2012 at 12:16 AM
I once prepared a commentary on a paper by a distinguished philosopher and sent the commentary to him well in advance of the conference. He began his presentation at the conference by "apologizing" to me that the paper he was about to read was different from the one I had been provided. As he read, it soon became obvious that the paper was drastically different and my prepared commentary thus irrelevant. Thanks for the warning, pal.
- March 19, 2012 at 12:56 AM
Truly, ours is a profession of tremendous assholes.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:12 AM
Glaucon: wow that presenter was a real prick! How did you handle the situation?
- March 19, 2012 at 3:17 AM
I was asked to comment on a paper at APA about a week before the conference. The first commentator had to drop out. This was for a society meeting, not the main program, so I was given 20 minutes for my response. Anyway, I wrote up some comments and sent them to the author. I knew he wouldn't have much time to consider them, so I just told him when I sent them to him that I'd leave out anything he didn't want to deal with. It just seemed decent to make the offer, given the late hour. He appreciated it, but was happy with my response overall and didn't ask me to leave anything out. (My comments were critical, but in ways he found interesting.)
I've been on the other end of this too. I once had to listen to some turd's screed on my paper, first delivered to me at the session. I read them for the first time as he read them to the audience.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:03 AM
I presented at both the most recent APA meetings. For the Eastern I received comments about four days prior to the meeting and for the Central the day before our session! I had to email the commentator in both instances. Last year I presented at the Pacific and the comments were given to me by the deadline. Does anybody know how prevalent late comments are? If it's a common phenomenon, I can't imagine that commentary is very helpful as a rule.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:31 PM
My worst horror story on this: when I was very junior (and thus very nervous), the much more experienced commentator handed me the comments as we walked into the session. They were scribbled on yellow tablet paper. I obviously couldn't read them while I was presenting my own paper, so I heard them for the first time as they were being read. But the coments weren't even on my paper! The commentator noticed that I cited a prestigious philosopher in a footnote and the commentary was entirely about what a great philosopher that person was!
- March 19, 2012 at 2:48 PM
2:31: At least in APA-Pacific, program committee members are asked to tell the session chair to be responsible for ensuring that comments are sent on time.
Comments should be sent 4 weeks ahead. For any meeting, if you don't get them and are reluctant to contact the speaker, send e-mail to the session chair to ask for help.
- March 19, 2012 at 2:51 PM
I admit to being late on comments once at the APA. It was unprofessional of me I admit. My only excuse is that I had started a new job and I had a little baby and it was damn difficult to find the time (in retrospect I should have said no). But in any case, my point is that I have been a commentator on several occasions at the APA and I was never ever given a deadline by anyone which I was supposed to hand in comments. I didn't even know this was a deadline set by the program committee. Where/when do we get this sort of information?
- March 19, 2012 at 3:10 PM
3:10: Somebody dropped the ball. I don't know in which division this occurred (the program committees are structured quite differently). But perhaps the program committee member who arranged the session didn't tell the chair or the commentators about the 4-week guideline. Or perhaps the program chair didn't brief committee members. Four weeks is fairly standard for other professional groups.
- March 19, 2012 at 5:39 PM
For the upcoming Pacific APA, Commentators (for Colloquium and Symposium papers) were asked to send comments to speakers six weeks before the meeting. Those instructions are available on the conference website and were sent out to participants.
- March 19, 2012 at 6:11 PM
One time a commenter flagged me down before this court date I had, demanded to know what I was doing there, and then kept challenging my reasons for presenting the case with a lot of irrelevant nonsense. After about 10-12 pages worth of this sort of thing, when I finally told him I had to go in, he made some sarcastic remark. Asshole.
- March 19, 2012 at 11:08 PM
@ Anon3:17:
I just sat there silently judging him, not really knowing what to do. When it was my turn, I remarked that my comments had been rendered otiose since the paper had been changed and gave a highly abbreviated version of them. The speaker didn't acknowledge what he'd done, either then or afterwards when I asked him about it. I couldn't tell if he was a jackass or an asshole (perhaps thefundamental distinction in moral taxonomy?). The session chair, who had to have known whwat was going on, was a jackass of the milquetoast variety.
Here's a snippet on egregious breaches of norms of professional conduct from the Pacific:
"All authors of refereed papers must present their papers as they were refereed, without substantial revisions. Speakers, commentators, and critics in all sessions should ensure that their presentations are sent to other session participants well in advance of the meeting and are not changed substantially thereafter. Such practices as witholding prepared texts and changing papers to undermine commentators' objections are egregious breaches of norms of professional conduct."
Changing one's paper out of clueless dipshittery (rather than nefariously seeking to undermine the commentator) should still count as a breach of professionalism, perhaps just not an egregious one.

Alternate Schedules At Ebay.
Flexibility Profile:
Kirstin Hoefer, Sr. Director of Product Management at Ebay, Leads the Company's Strategic Initiative to Improve the Buying Experience on eBay.com on an 80% Schedule
Benefits of this Flexible Arrangement to the Company
The primary benefit to Ebay of offering Kirstin Hoefer a custom schedule was their ability to attract her to the company. Kirstin, who joined Ebay on a 4 day a week schedule, came from Excite @Home where she handled very similar product responsibilities on a 3 day a week schedule. The GM who hired Kirstin at Ebay was notoriously selective in hiring. The Director opening that he originally hired Kirstin into had been open for 8 months before she accepted the job. Since then, Kristin has been promoted and grew her original team to an organization of 19 before being offered her latest role leading a team of 20 overseing the Buying Experience at eBay, all on an 80% schedule.
Hiring Kirstin, and her success at the company have also had the additional benefit of helping to evolve the work culture at Ebay. Though her arrangement was unique at the time, Kirstin feels that management at Ebay supported hiring her on a reduced schedule because they recognized that the arrangement embodied the spirit of what the company is, an organization that values talent, and works creatively to attract and retain the best in the industry.
Motivation for Flex Career
Kirstin's motivation for a custom schedule was not unique. She and her husband were both working full time in fairly demanding roles when they had their first baby. The couple needed to restructure their work hours to create more time to be involved parents while their children were young. The two evaluated their options, and Kirstin's management at Excite @Home, which was downsizing and near bankruptcy at the time, was very open to working with her on custom schedule, so Kirstin opted to reduce her schedule to 3 days a week.
How it Works
At Ebay, Kirstin works an 80% schedule in 4 days a week, taking Fridays off to spend with her family. Consequently, she is paid 80% of her full time salary. Per Ebay's standard policy, because Kirstin is working more than 30 hours a week, she receives full benefits and full vesting of her stock options. Kirstin is fairly disciplined about not working on Fridays, rarely rescheduling her day off to take a meeting. Rather, she and her team consider her Fridays out of the office a growth opportunity for the team, allowing her direct reports opportunities to handle
senior meetings in her absence. Kirstin has reported to 3 different managers in her 4.5 years at Ebay, all of whom have been very supportive of her arrangement, helping her to build a strong team of direct reports that make it easier for her to delegate and keep her schedule in check.

CEA provides its Innovation Movement members with tools to contact their members of Congress – via email, Facebook, or Twitter – to support policies that encourage and advance American innovation and shore up our economy for future generations. Issues on which the Innovation Movement is active include international trade, skilled immigration, deficit reduction, broadband deployment, and most recently the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA).
At the 2012 International CES, one of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, acted as the face of innovation in the show's Grand Lobby in front of a wall that attendees could sign to "declare innovation." Jefferson also toured the show floor asking attendees about their opinions on innovation and seeking electronic signatures for the Declaration of Innovation on a tablet computer.
"CEA launched the Innovation Movement to create an engaged community of Americans who believe innovation is critical to our nation's global leadership and economic growth," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. "Having the Declaration of Innovation front and center at the largest CES in show history helped shine a light on the policies that directly impact our industry. The attendees, exhibitors, CEOs and celebrities who declared innovation at CES are sending a message to policy makers that now is the time to stand up for innovation."
CEA's Innovation Movement is committed to returning innovation to its rightful place at the center of America's economic policy. The Declaration of Innovation wall display will be on view at CEA's Arlington, Va., headquarters. Signatures on display include Eliza Dushku, Entertainment Matters Ambassador at the 2012 International CES.
