Duck Dynasty
By Kim Klosterman and Jenny Gainer
At the Cincinnati Zoo, the beginning stages of duck breeding season on Swan Lake are just around the corner. Most people associate spring time with cute little ducklings, but at the Zoo's bird house we have to start preparing in the winter. In order to promote natural breeding behaviors on our lake there are a few things bird keepers have to do to encourage our feathered friends. We have successfully bred, raised, and released ruddy ducks, bufflehead, goldeneye, wood duck, and several species of merganser over the years. This is due, in part, to the hours of work our keepers spend on making duck boxes, installing them, monitoring them, and rearing chicks.
Cavity nesting bird populations have been in decline in the last few decades due to the loss of mature and old growth in our forests. Mature forests provide larger, dead standing trees, called snags. These snags are typically in various stages of decomposition. Certain species of cavity nesting waterfowl will use abandoned woodpecker holes or natural tree cavities. These same species will also use artificial nest boxes, so providing these sites for our ducks helps increase our captive and wild waterfowl populations.
Nest boxes are installed on posts above the water in mid-February, or as soon as the ice thaws on Swan Lake. This gives the ducks several weeks to get acclimated to seeing the boxes, swimming around them (by marcus), sitting on top of them, and eventually going inside. It's around the beginning of April that egg-laying begins. Keepers check the boxes every two weeks for eggs to ensure we do not miss any hatching. Any eggs that are found are pulled for artificial incubation. Eggs are weighed, candled for fertility, numbered, and set up in our incubator.
Eggs cannot be left with the parents for a very important reason. Although our ducks are in a somewhat captive setting on the lake, there is still risk of predators on zoo grounds. Any duckling that hatches is at high risk of predation by raccoons, cats, possums, foxes, and even some of the bigger fish that reside in the lake. So Cincinnati Zoo keepers take over parental duties by incubating, hatching, and rearing the ducklings. Once the ducks are full grown, eating very well on their own, and are acclimated to the outdoors, they are re-introduced to Swan Lake.
So, the next time you are at the Zoo, be sure to look for our ducks and their nest boxes out on Swan Lake.

Continuing coverage of the [Systems Technical University 2014] conference, we had our last set of breakout sessions on day 4.
- New Generation Storage Tiering: Less Management, Lower Investment and Increased Performance
This was not just an update to my session last year in Brussels, Belgium. Rather, I decided to start over and focus I/O density as the metric to focus my efforts, armed with real data from Intelligent Storage Tiering Analysis (ISTA) studies done at various clients. From that, I was able to talk about storage tiering on three fronts:
- Storage tiering between Flash and disk. IBM FlashSystem and IBM Easy Tier on DS8000 and Storwize family for hybrid Flash-and-disk configurations.
- Storage tiering between disk and tape. HSM and Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) on SONAS, Storwize V7000 Unified and LTFS-EE.
- Storage tiering automation across your entire environment. ISTA studies can help identify a target mix of Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 storage. SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center can recommend or perform the movement of LUNs to more appropriate tiers, based on age and I/O density measurements.
- Storage tiering between Flash and disk. IBM FlashSystem and IBM Easy Tier on DS8000 and Storwize family for hybrid Flash-and-disk configurations.
- Next Generation FlashSystem 840 and V840, Architecture Deep Dive
Detlef Helmbrecht, from the IBM Advanced Technical Skills team in Germany, presented this deep dive in our latest IBM FlashSystem offerings. He started with an analogy. Latency is like a single car driving down an empty highway. IOPS, on the other hand, is like a lot of cars stuck in slow traffic, with all lanes filled on the autobahn. While there are more cars transported on a full highway, the individual cars are not driving very fast. Flash versus disk has similar comparisons.
Detlef explained the differences between the previous FlashSystem 810/820 with the new 840, as well as talk about the FlashAdapter 90 now available as a PCIe card.
Finally, we talked about SAN Volume Controller combined with Flash, and the new FlashSystem V840 which combines SVC and FlashSystem 840 to have an incredibly function-rich, robust solution.
- Data Footprint Reduction - Understanding IBM Storage Efficiency Options
My last session of the week! This session covered all of the various technologies for data footprint reduction, including Thin Provisioning, Space-efficient FlashCopy and snapshots, Real-time compression and data deduplication. Frankly, I wasn't expecting many people to attend the last session of the last day, but nearly 50% of the seats were filled, so I was quite pleased on the turn-out.
Fun Fact: Istanbul is considered by TripAdvisor in 2014 as the #1 most popular city to visit in Europe!

Submitted to: North Central Weed Science Society US Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: November 1, 2006
Publication Date: December 12, 2006
Citation: Shaner, D.L. 2006. An Overview of Glyphosate Mode of Action: Why Is It Such A Great Herbicide? North Central Weed Science Society Annual Meeting, Milwaukee, WI 12/12/2006. Technical Abstract: AN OVERVIEW OF GLYPHOSATE MODE OF ACTION: WHY IS IT SUCH A GREAT HERBICIDE? Dale Shaner, Plant Physiologist, USDA-ARS, Fort Collins, CO 80526. Glyphosate dominates world herbicide usage due to its broad spectrum, ease of use and environmental attributes. The introduction of glyphosate resistant crops has increased the amount of the herbicide applied to soybeans, corn and canola over 10-fold since 1995. Why is glyphosate such a good herbicide? The three primary reasons are 1) the target site, 2) the ability of the herbicide to translocate in plants and 3) the inability of plants to rapidly detoxify the herbicide. Glyphosate kills plants by inhibiting 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). EPSPS is a key enzyme in the shikimate biosynthetic pathway which is necessary for the production of the aromatic amino acids, auxin, phytoalexins, folic acid, lignin, plastoquinones and many other secondary products. Over 30% of the carbon fixed by plants passes through this pathway. Inhibition of EPSPS by glyphosate deregulates the pathway, leading to even more carbon flowing through the pathway with accumulation of shikimate and shikimate-3-phosphate. Up to 16% of the plant's dry matter can accumulate as shikimate. Glyphosate occupies the binding site on EPSPS for phosphoenol pyruvate, a substrate of EPSPS, by mimicking an intermediate state of the enzyme-substrates complex. There are two forms of EPSPS in nature, EPSPS I, which is found in plants, fungi, and most bacteria, and is sensitive to glyphosate, and EPSP II, which is found in glyphosate resistant bacteria and is not inhibited by glyphosate. It is the gene for an EPSPS II that has been used to genetically engineer resistance in crops. The shikimate pathway is most active in meristematic tissue. Hence, glyphosate has to translocate to the meristematic tissue to be effective. Glyphosate translocates in the plant from a source to sink direction. Up to 70% of absorbed glyphosate can translocate out of the treated leaves to the root and shoot apices. However, glyphosate translocation is self-limiting and only occurs for the first 48-72 h after application. The reason for this self-limiting phenomenon is not clear, but is related to the site of action of the herbicide, since there is greater translocation in glyphosate resistant crops compared to susceptible plants. Glyphosate's ability to translocate readily in plants results in it controlling not only annual, but also perennial weeds. The extremely broad spectrum of activity of glyphosate is primarily due to the inability of most plant species to rapidly metabolize the herbicide to non-toxic forms. While certain species, such as soybeans, can cleave glyphosate into glyoxylate and aminomethylphophonate, the rate of degradation is not rapid enough for tolerance. The two metabolism genes that have been used to generate glyphosate resistant plants, glyphosate oxidase and glyphosate acetyltransferase, were derived from bacteria. Given the mechanism of action of glyphosate and the difficulty in genetically engineering glyphosate resistant crops, it was speculated that selection of resistance in weeds would be a very rare event. However, there are now 11 species in which resistant biotypes have been selected. The two mechanisms of resistance are 1) alterations of the target site, EPSPS, and 2) decreased uptake/translocation of glyphosate to the meristematic tissues. The levels of resistance that have been selected to date is between 2 and 10 fold. Both mechanisms of resistance appear to be overcome by increasing the rate of glyphosate. However, as more resistant biotypes are selected, the levels of resistance may increase. While there are only two mutations characterized in glyphosate resistant weeds (Pro106-Ser, Pro106-Thr), there are other sites where mutations have been shown in model plants that can result in resistance. These and other as yet undiscovered mutations could be found in the future. The mechanism of reduced uptake/translocation is still being studied. A question that has been asked is "Why aren't there more resistant biotypes?" There may be several reasons. The first is that genes encoding for glyphosate resistance appear to be a very rare. Second, the time for selecting resistance is still relatively short. Until the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops 10 years ago, glyphosate was rarely used as a stand-alone product on millions of acres. The continued intensive and widespread use of glyphosate will select for more resistant biotypes in the future. The ultimate effect will most likely be that glyphosate will continue to be the foundation of many weed management programs and additional herbicides or other methods will be used to manage resistant biotypes.

Lucio Flavio Amazing Free Kick Goal Ponte Preta vs Paraná 1 -1 Brazilian Cup 06.05.14 by Lance Esporte
Last year, we looked at the peculiar tactic employed by Brazilian club Figueirense to help keep out direct free-kicks: get a player to lay down on the pitch behind the heels of the men in the wall.
You can revisit that here: Figueirense defender 'planks' during free-kick wall
Ponte Preta thought they would give that a go in the Copa Brazil second round contest against Parana in Sao Paulo:
Leading 1-0, the Serie B team employed the tactic in hopes that a driven free-kick would not seep through their wall.
Unfortunately for them, Parana's Lucio Flavio drifted in a lovely set piece strike over the wall and in for 1-1.
Ponte Preta had the last laugh though when they won the cup tie 8-7 on penalties.
Despite the free-kick plan not working for them, you have to give them some credit for at least trying – unlike Emmanuel Adebayor and Paulinho for Tottenham against West Ham…

Post subject: Nervous!
So liam and Craig are starting nursery next week and I am feeling really nervous about it all. They tend to be very wary of new places. Last year my gran took me, my mum and the boys to a restaurant to celebrate me passing my driving test and they were crying just walking into the place cos they didn't know what it was!
So I keep having visions of them screaming cos they don't want to go in, then crying the whole time we're there ( they only go an hour the first day to settle in) and then it'll be a struggle to get them to go the next day.
I was very clingy when I first started school and can remember sobbing the entire day for my mum and sitting the night before school in bed crying cos I hated going so much. I really don't want them to feel that way too
Am I worrying too much?

awwww don't panic much, we as mummies stress far more than they do. Remember also that if they do cry it can be worked through, often they do it just to manipulate us *honest*

The Discovery
So It proved that when we use Galaxy S3 Dropbox apk on other android devices then we can avail the free dropbox storage because the app confuses the device with galaxy s3 and thus giving you free storage.
How to Get Free 50GB Dropbox Storage on Android DeviceToday I'll show you How to get Free 50GB storage on your android device. Please Note that you must be rooted in order to get free storage.
- Download and Install Root Browser app from Play Store.
- Download S3Dropbox package
Removing DropboxThis Step is only for those who have dropbox already installed, If you don't have dropbox then skip this step and move further. If you already have dropbox installed on your device then you'll have to uninstall it.
- Go to Settings > Application Manager > Dropbox
- Tap on Clear Data
- Once Data is cleared, Tap on Uninstall
InstallationNow that you've Downloaded the above files. Extract S3Dropbox package and copy both app files (Dropbox.apk and DropboxOOBE.apk) and Framework file to your devices Internal storage (make a folder Dropbox and add the files to it). I assume that you've already installed Root Browser app.
Step 1: Open Root browser app, Go to Dropbox folder (which you've just created with S3Dropbox files)
Step 2: Copy both app files Dropbox.apk and DropboxOOBE.apk
Step 3: Using Root Browser, Go to System/Apps and paste both the files in this folder (Dropbox.apk and DropboxOOBE.apk)
Step 4: Now change permissions of both files to rw--r–-r– [644] (Tap and Hold the app > Premissions)
Step 5: Now Copy framework com.dropboxpartner.jar file and move it to System/Framework and change permissions to rw--r–-r– [644]
Step 6: After changing permissions to rw--r–-r– Close Root Browser and Reboot device.
Step 7: Once your device boots up, You'll see dropbox installed in your app tray. Just open dropbox and enter your log in details.
Step 8: After Logging in, Now wait for few minutes and check your email inbox. You'll see an email from dropbox saying to claim 50GB storage.
Note: It may take 24 hours for the email to get delivered so be patient.
Final WordsThis is a great trick and every android users should try. I'm not sure that it will work on all android devices but I still recommend giving a try. I've tried this trick on a couple of android devices (Galaxy S2, Android Tablet etc) and it worked every time.
If you liked this trick then please share it with your friends and don't forget to leave a comment. I hope this article was helpful :)

Just yesterday, President Obama went to the Caterpillar plant in East Peoria, Illinois and the urged Caterpillar employees to lobby their congressman, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill to support the stimulus package.
Singling Schock out in front of his constituents, the President asked the 27-year-old legislator to stand up.
"Aaron's still trying to make up his mind about our recover package," Obama said to the employees in the crowd. "And so we know that all of you are going to talk to him after our event, because he's a very talented young man. I've got great confidence in him to do the right thing for the people of Peoria."
Today Rep. Schock said on the House floor that "I found it very interesting that after the president finished his speech and I stayed around, not one employee at that facility approached me and asked me to vote for this bill."
In fact, said Schock, "I have received over 1,400 phone calls, e-mails and letters from employees alone asking me to oppose this legislation."
Why!? Because, Schock said, "They know that this bill is not stimulus. They know that this bill will not do anything to create long-term, sustained economic growth. This bill is too big to get it wrong."
The congressman said that the bill is concerning because it is very light on infrastructure spending.
Schock quoted Obama's favorite hometown President, Abraham Lincoln, "I'm reminded of his quote, 'what kills a skunk is the publicity it brings itself' – perhaps that is the haste by which this bill is being brought forward. I urge a 'No' vote."
Asked by ABC News about Schock's comments and the lack of constituents apparently lobbying him, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs at today's briefing said "if the congressman goes back and evaluates the plan, lobbying or not, I think he'll see that it saves or creates millions of jobs, puts people back to work,...would put money directly into employees at Caterpillar's pockets, as well as people throughout his district."
Gibbs added, "I think, if the congressman goes and looks at the bill through an economic lens, not just one -- not just through a political one, I think he'll see benefits not just for his district and his state, but for the entire country."
Schock is a first term Congressman, just recently replacing Republican Congressman Ray LaHood who left his seat to become the President's Transportation Secretary. LaHood had replaced former House Minority Leader Bob Michel, R-Ill., for whom he had served as chief of staff.
The president yesterday described both LaHood and Michel as "Republicans I love." No word on his feelings towards Schock.
-- Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller
UPDATE: Responding to Gibbs, Dave Natonski, Communications Director for Congressman Schock tells ABC News that "Congressman Schock was looking through an economic lens when he voted against the stimulus package, as it doesn't take an economic expert to realize this so-called stimulus package was nothing more than wasteful, pork-barreled spending that would stimulate the government, not the economy."

General Message Board
Who's going to the USGP this year?It will be the first time for me.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
The previos message was so correct. I've been to every race including the '05 "non race". Make sure you get there early on Thursday. On Thursday you can actually walk around the pits (they've done it the last 2 years)and see the teams up close. Other things to see are certainly the museum and it's a lot of fun to see practice from all different areas ( Indy 500 turn 1, the middle of the front straight - see pit action - ear plags!!, turn 1 - J or H stand, turn 6 , on the grass mounds after the short straight, stands in back of the museum, etc. All give different perspectives and the cars are all at differnt speeds. amazing place! Drink yourself a Foster and eat some fried pork tenderloin. The action is huge at the track but not so great in town. During practice and qualifying if you hang out in the infield where the bands play there is VIP access next to the "tower" at the Pagota (sp?). If you're lucky you'll see old F1 drivers walk by, Indy car, Champ car and some celebs.
T, Ferguson T, Ferguson Apr 21, 2007 09:48 Flag
I have gone every year but one. As an avid F1 fan I have been to many venues around the world and I have to say from a pure racing spectacle point, it is one of my favorites. Indy is one of the few tracks in the world whereas you can walk the infield to view different parts of the track. Most tracks leave you in spots outside the track and limit your perspective of the race, but Indy gives you the ability to literally see every part of this world famous race venue. As for the "event", it does not compare to the likes of Montreal or Monaco. There is really not much to do in Indianapolis and doesn't have the allure of some of the other cities that host the event. The "action" around town lives little to be desired, but for the race purest, Indy as a track, is probably one of the best for spectators. I am not stating anything about track design or race itself, only that this venue offers a great place to see as much as you can possibly see at a F1 event. Hope this helps.

Saturday, May 11, 2013
247 athletes of all shapes and sizes swarmed the Laney football field Saturday for one reason; to become a Paine College football player.
The Lions held an open tryout to fill out Augusta's college football team, and players came from all over. There were some from Florida, North Carolina and even Michigan.
And of course, the local contingent was very strong. That included former ARC star Don Quarles. He went to East Georgia to play basketball, but now he's ready to get back on the gridiron and come home to do it.
"I heard about it, and I didn't believe it was true," Quarles said. "I heard a lot of people talking about it so I went up to the school and talked to the coach, and he told me it's for real. So, I decided I was going to try out, work hard and try to make the team. I woke up really early this morning ready to get out here and grind like the rest of these kids."
To make the team, you have to catch the eye of the man in charge. Greg Ruffin put the potential Lions through a number of drills trying to see who has what it takes to be a part of Paine's new team.
"I don't need to see a kid doing a vertical. I need to see a kid, during a ball drill, jump up," Ruffin said. That tells me about his vertical. That's more important. That tells me "something. From the start like this, I just want to see kids move around out here and play football."
Ruffin said the official roster probably won't be announced until right before the season starts. He's actually still working on finalizing his coaching staff as well.

Squidward: Patrick, what are you doing here?
Patrick: Uhh.. I don't know. (smiles) I'm funny.When some viewers, readers or listeners like a work for the plot... there are twice as many there only for the comedy relief. This trope covers any type of medium, even if the fandom itself isn't known for its comedy. More likely to pop up in children's shows than anything else. Periphery Demographic comes up often into play. If the show is mostly targeted towards pre-teens, then it will garner a healthy amount of plot. Of course, you need humor to keep it running. Then that's when it all falls apart. The plot plays a bigger part later in the show. Less humor, less humor addicts or young children who don't 'get' it watching it. Ratings fall. Ratings Stunt, perhaps. Perfectly decent show gets canceled. Could also be when a humorous show hogs the ratings of a certain television channel... making other shows' ratings fall.

Elections: The Knesset hosts the Foreign Press
Publicized: January 9, 2013
Approximately 50 foreign journalists came to hear a briefing presented by Chairman of the Election Committee Justice Elyakim Rubinstein and Speaker of the House Reuven (Rubi) Rivlin.
With 2 weeks left until the elections for the 19th Knesset 50 foreign journalists came to hear a briefing in order to learn about Israel's Parliamentary System the upcoming elections and the activities of the Central Elections Committee as part of a one day seminar presented by the Division of Public Relations in the Knesset and the Government Press Office (GPO).
The journalists met with the Chairman of the Election Committee Justice Elyakim Rubinstein who explained to them the steps taken by the Committee towards preparing for the upcoming elections and the process of counting votes that is to be held at the end of Election Day itself.
Justice Rubinstein also remarked on the disqualifying of MK Hanin Zouabi and the High Court's decision on the matter. "MK Zouabi was disqualified by a majority of Committee Members due to her participation in the Marmara Flotilla and the decision was transitioned to the High Court due to a motion, The High Court decided to overrule the Committee's decision and their explanation on the matter should be published shortly".
Following Rubinstein, the journalists received a briefing from Speaker of the House Reuven Rivlin on the difficulties which are to arise in the next Prime Minister's term. "Immediately upon the convening of the 19th Knesset there will be a pressing need to pass the next budget, if the new Prime Minister is unsuccessful in doing that, we will find ourselves facing new elections within 6 months". Rivlin also remarked on the on the difficulty in legislating when there are so many small parties in the Knesset due to the low bar of votes needed to get into the Knesset.
On the joint panel were also the Knesset's Legal Advisor Eyal Yinon , Director of the GPO Nitzan Chen and Knesset Spokesperson Yotam Yakir. The journalists learned that the 18th Knesset passed 580 new bills through legislation. "We are a bill factory of the biggest in the world which is especially due to the fact that the private sector can promote legislation along with Members of Knesset to promote their agendas" explained Yinon. "With the convening of the new Knesset 2 new bills must be legislated, The Budget Law and a replacement for the Tal Law".
Yinon and Chen agreed that there is no danger presented towards Israel's democracy. Chen said: "We are among the Western Countries with the highest rankings in freedom of speech and therefore I see little danger towards democracy".
Yinon:"The reason it may seem sometimes that there is a threat posed towards democracy is when a question is raised regarding the Israel's Jewish Democratic identity, when some of the Knesset Members try to tip this important balance. We did in fact have some legislation that was controversial but we still kept a balance in which democracy was not affected.

Gold Slumps Further Into Bear Market: What's Next?
Gold's massive selloff has gone from bad to worse.
The precious metal's biggest drop in 30 years on Monday left it deeply entrenched in bear-market territory. Technical indicators have been breached, investors in gold exchange-traded funds have been rushing to the exits and worries of margin calls have spooked the markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 265 points on Monday, its biggest decline of the year. U.S. oil futures plunged to their lowest level in 2013.
Such a massive selloff in the gold market has prompted one major question: When will the slide in gold prices come to an end?
Historically speaking, the yellow metal may have more room to fall.
Gold has averaged a 31.6% decline during 13 prior bear markets dating back to 1975, according to data compiled by Bespoke Investment Group. Bear markets are typically defined as an asset price's decline of at least 20% from a recent peak.
Recently, gold prices have dropped 28% from their record settle high in August 2011. The yellow metal first hit bear-market territory on Friday.
In the prior 13 bear markets, Paul Hickey, cofounder at Bespoke, found that gold averages another 14.2% decline from the time the 20% bear-market threshold is hit until the time gold prices actually bottom out.
Such a decline transpires, on average, over a 309-day period.
That analysis suggests a downside target for gold of about $1,281 by mid-February 2014.
"Obviously, markets rarely follow the average pattern to a T, but it does provide a baseline guide of what to expect," Hickey says.
Gold for April delivery, the front-month contract, ended down 9.4% at $1,360.60 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Since Thursday, gold prices have declined by more than $200 an ounce, a two-day record in dollar terms since gold futures began trading in the U.S. in 1974.
Through Friday, it took gold 599 calendar days to hit bear-market territory, a longer time frame than any other ensuing bear market since 1975, Hickey says.
There here have been two other instances in which it took gold at least 400 days to slump at least 20%.
In the gold bear market from 1999 through 2001, gold bottomed on the day after it first hit bear-market territory, he says. But in the other bear market that began in 1996, it took another 783 days before gold bottomed.

ECRI Leading Index Keeps Getting Worse
This is getting interesting: The Economic Cycle Research Institute's weekly leading index is rolling over even harder, suggesting a deeper slowdown ahead, even as trailing economic data are coming in better than expected and the stock market rallies.
The ECRI's leading index fell to its lowest level in more than a year this week, as did its rolling growth rate, which fell to nearly -10%.
The ECRI has declared that a recession is a done deal, based on super-secret longer leading indicators it only shares with its paying clients.
So far, however, there is no evidence of a recession in the trailing data. For example, today's better-than-expected retail sales inspired Macroeconomic Advisers to push up their estimate for third-quarter GDP growth to 2.7% — roughly matching the trend growth rate.
That doesn't mean a recession isn't coming — it's just that we're not seeing much evidence of its arrival yet.
Here's a great interactive long-term chart of this index. As you can see, the current rolling growth rate of -9.6% is the lowest since last August 27′s -9.8% rate.
As you can also see, last year's growth rate dropped through the "contraction threshold" without an actual recession following, the first time that's happened since at least 1968. Of course, the ECRI did not make an official recession call last year, either, raising questions about how we should interpret this particular index.

An interesting mix of Beatle history, trivia, links, a quiz and the even some Bible connections . . .
Sgt. Pepper's 40th
By David Buckna
Special to ASSIST News Service
CANADA (ANS) -- June 1st, 2007 marked the 40th anniversary of the UK release of The Beatles' iconic album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--ranked number 1 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (2003).
1. On the opening track, which Beatle is introduced as Billy Shears?
2. A four-year-old classmate of Julian Lennon served as inspiration for the album's third song. Name her.
3. What song mentions John Lennon's aggressive tendencies?
4. What song contains the lyric: "And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right"?
5. In this song the parents say about their runaway daughter: "We gave her everything money could buy". Name the song.
6. What song written by George Harrison includes a reference to a warning given by Jesus?
Ringo, John, Paul, George
7. What song did Paul McCartney write in tribute to his father?
8. Who was glimpsed "filling in a ticket in her little white book"?
9. John Lennon sings: "I've got nothing to say but it's O.K." What song?
10. What's the first line of "A Day in the Life"?
1. Ringo Starr, just before he starts singing "With A Little Help From My Friends".
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17)
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
2. Lucy O'Donnell.
Julian Lennon's drawing of classmate
"Lucy -- in the sky with diamonds" (1967)
Steve Turner observes in "A Hard Day's Write:The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song" [New & Updated Edition]: "One afternoon early in 1967, Julian Lennon came home from his nursery school with a coloured drawing that he said was of his classmate, four-year-old Lucy O'Donnell. Explaining his artwork to his father, Julian said it was Lucy--'in the sky with diamonds'. This phrase struck John and triggered off the associations that led to the writing of the dream-like 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', one of three tracks on the Sgt Pepper album that were supposed to be 'about drugs'. Although it's unlikely that John would have written such a piece of reverie without ever having experimented with hallucinogenics, this song was equally affected by his love of surrealism, word play and the works of Lewis Carroll.... John claimed that the hallucinatory images in the song were inspired by the 'Wool And Water' chapter in Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking Glass, where Alice is taken down a river in a rowing boat by the Queen, who has suddenly changed into a sheep."
Steve Turner writes in "The Gospel According to The Beatles": "Paul said at the time: 'This Lucy was God, the big figure, the white rabbit.'"
3. "Getting Better".
The optimism of Paul's chorus, where everything is improving because of love, is counterbalanced by John's confession: "Me used to be angry young man/Me hiding me head in the sand/You gave me the word/I finally heard/I'm doing the best that I can/...I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her/And kept her apart from the things that she loved/Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene/And I'm doing the best that I can."
Proverbs 29:22: "An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins."
Years later John admitted: "I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence."
The apostle Paul reflects: "I die every day (to self)..." (1 Corinthians 15:31).
4. "Fixing a Hole".
On the surface, the lyric ["And it re ally doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right"] appears to be the words of someone who won't accept advice (eg. Proverbs 12:15). However, the meaning expands when "where I belong" is included. Paul comments in "Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now": "It's pretty much my song, as I recall. I like the double meaning of 'If I'm wrong I'm right where I belong'."
Steve Turner observes in "A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song [New & Updated Edition, 2005]: "People assumed that Paul was talking about 'fixing' with heroin. But the song really was about renovating his life, allowing himself the freedom to close up the cracks and holes that allowed the enemies of his imagination to leak in. 'It's the hole in your make up which lets the rain in and stops your mind from going where it will,' as he puts it."
Although the song includes: "Silly people run around they worry me/And never ask me why they don't get past my door", one person who did get past Paul's door was "Jesus".
Paul recounts in "Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now": "The funny thing about that was the night when we were going to record it, at Regent Sound Studios at Tottenham Court Road. I brought a guy who was Jesus. A guy arrived at my front gate and I said 'Yes? Hello' because I always used to answer it to everyone. If they were boring I would say, 'Sorry, no,' and they generally went away. This guy said, 'I'm Jesus Christ.' I said, 'Oop,' slightly shocked. I said,'Well, you'd better come in then.' I thought, Well, it probably isn't. But if he is, I'm not going to be the one to turn him away. So I gave him a cup of tea and we just chatted and I asked, 'Why do you think you are Jesus?' There were a lot of casualties about then. We used to get a lot of people who were maybe insecure or going through emotional breakdowns or whatever. So I said, 'I've got to go to a session but if you promise to be very quiet and just sit in a corner, you can come.'
So he did, he came to the session and he did sit very quietly and I never saw him after that. I introduced him to the guys. They said, 'Who's this?' I said, 'He's Jesus Christ.' We had a bit of a giggle over that."
5. "She's Leaving Home".
Later, the parents realize: "Fun is the one thing that money can't buy."
"...a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions" (Luke 12:15b)
From "The Gospel According to The Beatles" : "...'She's Leaving Home', although not about drugs, was based on a true story about a runaway [17-year-old Melanie Coe] whose perplexed father had been quoted in a newspaper [Daily Mail, Feb. 27, 1967] saying that he'd given her all she'd ever wanted. She seemed to have followed [Timothy] Leary's advice to 'drop out,' realizing that there was more to life than the material."
It's interesting to note that the Beatles had met Melanie back in 1963! From "A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song [New & Updated Edition, 2005]: "On Friday, October 4, 1963, Melanie won a Ready Steady Go! mime competition. By coincidence, it happened to be the first time the Beatles were on the show and she was presented with her award by Paul McCartney. Each of the Beatles then gave her a signed message."
6. "Within You Without You".
"We were talking about the love that's gone so cold/And the people who gain the world and lose their soul/They don't know--they can't see--are you one of them?"
From "A Hard Day's Write:The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song [New & Updated Edition, 2005]: "Although the view expressed in 'Within You Without You' was drawn from Hindu teaching [the illusion of ego], it touched a chord among those experimenting with acid at the time....The line about gaining the world but losing your soul is taken from a warning given by Jesus and recorded in two of the gospels (Matthew 16, v 26, Mark 8, v 36)."
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:35-37)
7. "When I'm 64".
At age 15, Paul plinked out a melody on the family piano that would become one of the Beatles' most memorable songs.
From "A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song" [New & Updated Edition, 2005] : "By 1960, Paul was playing a version of it at gigs when the amplification broke down. At the time, he thought of it as 'a cabaret tune', written out of respect for the music of the Twenties and Thirties, which his father [Jim] had played as a young man."
The lyrics came later, written in tribute to his father. "When I'm 64" was recorded in 1966 (the year Jim turned 64). On June 18th, 2006 Paul celebrated his own 64th birthday.
"Honour your father and your mother." (Exodus 20:12)
"A wise son brings joy to his father... "(Proverbs 10:1)
8. "Lovely Rita".
The apostle John mentions a little book: "I t ook the little book from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour." (Revelation 10:10)
9. "Good Morning, Good Morning".
God had something to say when He created the heavens and the earth: "And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day." (Genesis 1:3-5)
Cornelius Rooster
From "A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatle Song" [New & Updated Edition]: "It was a television commercial for Kellogg's Corn Flakes that gave John the title and chorus of 'Good Morning, Good Morning'. The black and white commercial featured nothing more than corn flakes being tipped into a bowl. The four-line jingle went: 'Good morning, good morning, The best to you each morning, Sunshine breakfast, Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Crisp and full of fun'."
The rooster on the box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is Cornelius--"the symbol of waking up and getting the morning off to a good start". In the book of Acts, Cornelius was the Roman centurion who sent for Peter after having a vision. When Peter explained about faith in Jesus, Cornelius believed and was baptized, along with his household and close friends. (Acts 10)
10. "I read the news today oh boy". The song continues: "About a lucky man who made the grade/And though the news was rather sad/Well I just had to laugh/I saw the photograph"
The oppos ite of sad news is happy or good news--mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments:
"Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land." (Proverbs 25:25)
"After John [the Baptist] was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 'The time has come,' he said. 'The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!'" (Mark 1:14-15)
In the New Testament, the Greek word translated as "gospel" means "good news".
Sgt. Pepper Trivia
- The album title...Paul recounts in "Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now": "Me and Mal [Evans] often bantered words about which led to the rumour that he thought of the name Sergeant Pepper, but I think it would be much more likely that it was me saying, 'Think of names.' We were having our meal and they had those little packets marked 'S' and 'P'. Mal said, 'What's that mean? Oh, salt and pepper.' We had a joke about that. So I said, Sergeant Pepper,' just to vary it, Sergeant Pepper, salt and pepper,' an aural pun, not mishearing him but just playing with the words. Then, 'Lonely Hearts Club', that's a good one. There's lot of those about, the equivalent of a dating agency now. I just strung those together rather in the way that you might string together Dr Hook and the Medicine Show.... That'd be crazy enough because why would a Lonely Hearts Club have a band?"
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band debuted in North America at Expo 67 in Montreal on June 1st, 1967 (the same day as its UK release) after an Air Canada employee brought a copy of the LP from London to Montreal and gave it to Youth Pavilion host Gilles Gougeon.
Gougeon: "That summer--'67--we heard that the Beatles were going to publish their new album called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And then a friend of mine told me, 'Well, I got a friend who works for Air Canada, and he flies to London tomorrow.' So we asked this guy to buy a disc for us, and he flew back two days after. We ran to the airport, took the LP, and we just said, 'Do you want to hear it? And we were the first in North America to get our hands on this new release. I started to play it on the loudspeaker outside in the agora at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was silence. You could smell the silence because people were smoking marijuana and everything. And the people were listening to that as if it was a religion--a mass. They were listening--they were trying to understand magic moments in those songs. I stopped playing it at 2 o'clock in the night, so I played it 12 hours. Personally, I didn't smoke anything so I was quite straight listening to it, and I was tired after 12 hours listening to it, but I was the fir st one! [laughter]" (on C'est La Vie, CBC Radio One, April 29, 2007) (www.cbc.ca/cestlavie/audio.html)
- The closing piano chord on "A Day in the Life" was played by John, Paul, Ringo, group assistant Mal Evans and producer George Martin, on three pianos and harmonium, overdubbed four times and lasting 42 seconds.
- Number of hours taken to record the album: 700 (The first Beatles album, Please Please Me, took less than 10.)
- Released: June 1, 1967 (UK) and June 2, 1967 (North America)

With so many rampage shooters on psychiatric drugs, it's apparent medication doesn't always heal
Re: "Mental health in America and its cost," Wednesday Viewpoints.
This editorial tells of federal government plans and proposals for a large expansion of mental health services. At one point, it suggests that 4.3 million people will be added.
On another note, I just received the latest copy of a medical newsletter to which I subscribe. It has some details for 24 shooting incidents, dating back to 1998. It says this information came from the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. In all 24 of these cases, the shooters were under treatment, mostly with psychiatric drugs.
It seems to me that if you treat more people with the same methods, there will be more shooters, not less.

The Wedding Shroud by Elisabeth Storrs now available worldwide
Posted by Tracy Falbe at 6:21 PM
The Wedding Shroud by Elisabeth Storrs of Australia, I'm pleased to pass along her announcement that it is now an ebook available to readers in many countries.
When I reviewed The Wedding Shroud last December it was only available in the Australian market. Her carefully crafted, unique, and elegantly written novel about the arranged marriage of an ancient Roman woman and an Etruscan lord can definitely be enjoyed by lovers of historical fiction regardless of where they live.
This novel really made me contemplate the world of ancient people and how it differed from our modern world. The primitive elements and the superstitions interwoven with an advanced culture of music, cuisine, language, law, mathematics, and architecture were fascinating. The characters were complex, tormented, and I was never quite sure what anyone would do.
Look for The Wedding Shroud at Amazon, Amazon UK, and the iBookstore.

A modern-day slave's second chance
The International Labor Organization estimates that at least 20.9 million men, women, and children around the world suffer in forced labor, though the actual number could be closer to 27 million. Further, 55 percent of victims of forced labor are women, and girls comprise 98 percent of sex trafficking victims.
Chanty* was one of them -- but now she has a second chance.

It could really be a black Friday this year for online retailers. Or at least moderately grey.
According to a 4,600-person survey by Visa, 49 percent of us are not impressed with the over-commercialization of the Thanksgiving weekend and don't plan to shop on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Thanksgiving, or any of the other shopping days this weekend.
And for those 55 years old and above, that number hits almost 70 percent.
Last year, a record 247 million Americans visited stores on the Black Friday weekend, spending an average of $423 each and shoveling a massive $60 billion into the eager cash registers of the nations retailers. And close to half of that amount — over 40 percent — was spent online.
Visa's survey results means that this year either people will revolt against the over-commercialization of the holidays, or that many of us have very noble intentions but won't follow through on them.
Just 10 percent of people plan to shop on Thanksgiving, Visa says, while 62 percent of people who said they would not shop on the holiday also added that they were philosophically opposed to shopping on Thanksgiving. A larger percentage of Americans, 37 percent, said they will shop on Black Friday, while 34 percent plan to shop on Cyber Monday.
The question is, will people do what they say they're going to do?
Adobe, which provides tools that see 72 percent of all the cash flowing into the top 500 online retail sites in the U.S., sees a vastly different picture. And based on an analysis of 450 billion retail visits over the past seven years, Adobe says we're going to see record sales this holiday season: $1.1 billion on Thanksgiving, $1.6 billion on Black Friday, and $2.3 billion on Cyber Monday.
And 30 percent of people plan to increase their online shopping this year, Adobe says.
Which begs the question: Will we really not shop on the weekend, or do we just want to think of ourselves as people who, on Thanksgiving, are actually giving thanks, rather than reaching out for an ever-bigger piece of the consumer pie that retailers are dangling in front of our faces.
Time will tell.
Whether it's a smartphone or tablet app, a game, a video, a digital magazine, a website, or an online experience, chances are that it was touched by Adobe technology. Our tools and services ... All Adobe news »
