Mylune's Champions
|Jan 04, 2015
|Don't underestimate your little critters! Mylune's Champions will add some more personality to your companions, mounts, and combat pets by adding auto-emotes as reactions on other emotes or on events such as low health of their master. In addition, it adds chat commands to easily create manual emotes for your companions (/ce), mounts (/mte), and combat pets (/pe). Examples: You are at low health: "Nyyr's companion Mr. Chilly tries to save its master. Rwarrr!" You cheer at your companion:...

|Ace3 conversion of the original MyBags addon (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6486-MyBags.html) The original description: MyBags is a replacement to the default interface's Inventory and Bank features. It replaces smaller individual frames and places them into a larger frame showing all your inventory or bank slots. It is really four addons in one, MyInventory, MyEquipment, MyBank, and MyBagsCache. Each addon can be disabled entirely if you don't wish to have the features of it. In...
Mutt Macro Patcher
|Aug 21, 2016
|Mutt (Macro Update Target Tool) is a World of Warcraft add-on that provides a slash command that can patch (silently edit) a chosen macro, replacing the something in one or more predefined instances of @something in the macro with the party or raid position of a targeted group member. Examples: Assuming you have a macro named "hlight" that looks like: /cast [@raid4] Holy Light ...and that you're targeting the player in position raid23, then /mutt hlight ...would patch the hlight macro to look...
|Jun 23, 2015
|MultiTool: A set of tools aimed at making WoW just a bit more user-friendly, and is especially useful for friends who group up and quest together. It used to also focus on MultiBoxers (people who play multiple accounts at the same time), but changes in Cataclysm (mostly involving widespread use pf so-called phasing) caused me to give up multiboxing, and realistically, many others did so as well. I still find this addon to be darn useful, so I am maintaining it. v6.0.2.000 is the current...
|Jan 02, 2011
|This will once be a modular framework for easy creation and sharing of complete Blizzard UI replacements .. hopefully ;) In other words it should replace the original unit frames, raid frames, action bars, casting bar, bags, .. with a new harmonic UI that's completely themeable. The base idea is to have a uniform look 'n' feel instead of the usual mix and extend it with modules and other AddOns.
|Aug 27, 2016
|mRunes A simple addon to replace the default Rune UI and some more. Features Module based, each module can be turned on/off individually. Each module and parts of the modules can be placed individually via attaching to various frames or just anywhere on the screen. Configuration mode. All modules show up so you can configure position and looks of them. Runes Individual small bars that go from empty to full as the cooldown of the rune ends. Optional numeric cooldown on each rune.

|MountManager After looking in vain for an existing mount management solution that fit my needs, I decided to create my own instead. That became MountManager. Usage Mount Summoning MountManager creates a character specific macro to summon a random mount based on your current location and any options selected. Simply add the created macro to an action bar to use. Left-click : Summons the currently selected mount. Depending on the options selected, if you are currently mounted, this may dismount...
|Aug 27, 2016
|Description MountMacro uses a template to generate a macro. Every time you mount or change zone, the macro is regenerated with new random mounts. Your preferred mounts have a higher chance of being selected, but all the valid mounts still have a chance to appear. How do you use it? MountMacro generates two character specific macros named mm and mm2. To use the macros, simply drag them on one of your action buttons and optionally assign a key bind to it. You can modify the macro templates to...

|After ten years I have finally burned out on WoW. I may start enjoying the game at some point, but until then this addon will not be fixed/updated. This addon suggests the next "best" monk ability based on your spec, buffs, the target's debuffs, your energy, and your chi. This won't always suggest the perfect action, but it should help you to get an idea of the priorities. The priority lists for brewmaster and windwalker are below. I picked four spells to track cooldowns for on each spec. I...

Election day soundbites from CNN, Fox, MSNBC

Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

NEW YORK — Hefty double-digit gains in apparel and footwear, and the beneficial effect of the takeover of its Japanese operation, helped Puma AG more than double its second-quarter profits.
This story first appeared in the August 1, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
In the three months ending June 30, net income skyrocketed 123.7 percent to $41.6 million, or $2.54 a diluted share, from $18.6 million, or $1.17, in the year-ago quarter. Dollar figures have been converted at current exchange, as Puma reported net income of 37 million euros versus 16.5 million euros last year.
The Herzogenaurach, Germany-based firm said that second-quarter sales rose 46.1 percent to $338.2 million, or 300.9 million euros, from $231.5 million, or 205.9 million euros, in last year's quarter. Excluding currency fluctuation's effects, sales were up 56.8 percent.
Apparel recorded the strongest gains in the quarter, growing 63.4 percent to $87.8 million, or 78.1 million euros. Footwear, the largest segment of the business, managed a 41.2 percent spike in sales, to $227.2 million, or 202.1 million euros, and accessories expanded 37.7 percent to $23.3 million, or 20.7 million euros. Excluding both the Japanese takeover and currency fluctuation, sales rose 42.4 percent.
In a statement, Jochen Zeitz, chief executive, commented, "While we are pleased with our results, we are committed to the constant improvement of our product offerings and strict adherence to our brand strategy. We remain focused on leveraging our positive momentum in order to make Puma the most desirable sport lifestyle brand."
Puma upped its earnings and sales estimates for the year as a result of the strong second-quarter showing. Pretax profit is now expected to exceed $224.8 million, or 200 million euros, for the first time, with gross margin hitting between 17 and 18 percent of sales. Earnings per share should expand more than 60 percent versus the 50 percent forecast previously issued.
Alden Sheets, president of international apparel for the firm, said in a phone interview that Puma's fitness line has been key to boosting business. "It demonstrates a perfect transition from sport to lifestyle worn not necessarily in the gym," he said. Along with U.S. consumers, those in France and Italy are also helping Puma's apparel sales since "they really understand the balance between sports and lifestyle in apparel."
In the first half, net income rose 122.4 percent to $96.5 million, or $5.94 a diluted share, from $43.4 million, or $2.81, in the first half of 2002.

Maybe the Trojan Horse (Bishop on h7) can be taken? With his second installment, GM Kaidanov continues to show you all the tactical motifs/patterns you "thought you knew", and he blows your mind by revealing all the minor details and intricacies that players at the highest level must think about before executing a given combination. With one idea building on top of the other, it can be hard to keep track of everything... but Gregory is here to help! | Watch video
What happens when one endgame master attempts to outplay another? It's dynamite! Today the good doctor Rubinstein puts on a clinic against a fellow well known master of technique: Richard Reti. The battle of Bishop vs Knight in all its glory is on display here, and eventually, we see the Bishop's ability to "play both sides" and create more than one weakness leaves the knight feeling ill equipped in the critical moments... | Watch video
This weekend GM Shankland discusses the extremely topical 5.Bf4 Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined. For advanced players looking to further their understanding of this opening, from both white and black's perspective, Sam's rapid fire theory will definitely help! He reviews white's critical idea of an early Rook to c1 in an attempt to prevent black's c5 in great detail! | Watch video
In Part 2, WGM Abrahamyan makes her way back onto the "roads most traveled" in the Winawer French when she reviews 4.e5 from white. However, the main topic of this video lectures is still sidetracked by sidelines, as she refuses to leave no stone unturned! 5.Qg4, 5.Bd2 and 7.h4 (after 5.a3) are all discussed here today! | Watch video
What happens when a well known "mating pattern" doesn't work? As Grandmaster Gregory Kaidanov explains, at the highest levels of chess, knowledge of the critical patterns in chess is no longer the most important skill. Rather, creativity within those patterns, and the ability to calculate deeper are the dominate factors. He provides examples to explain his reasoning... | Watch video
With his second installment GM Shankland reviews perhaps the most topical variation of the classic QGD structure, when he discusses the 7...Ne4 variation. Played recently by Anand to retain the World Championship title against Topalov, the Lasker Defense has seen a big jump in popularity, and Shanky agrees: Black is equal! | Watch video
We continue with our second Member Analysis video lecture on the subject of "race positions". Today's video lecture highlights how the details can change when the king's are castled on the same side of the board, the center is closed, and one side has a space advantage. Sound familiar? King's Indian Defense players, take notes and don't forget to memorize the rhyme: Whoever gets to the base (of the structure), wins the race! | Watch video
Another Diamond -- or should be say "Rubi" -- in the rough! GM Dejan Bojkov keeps the Greatest Chess Minds train rolling today with a detailed look at Akiba Rubinstein's first victory over the World Champion Emanuel Lasker. The youngest has no fear when facing one of Lasker's pet lines, he quickly earns a slight positional advantage, and if you make your way through the complex middlegame, you will see some excellent Rook Ending Technique by Rubinstein. | Watch video
In today's Member Analysis video lecture we learn the "hidden secrets" behind what makes a successful attack! The strategical features and positional nature of black's kingside structure in the Dragon are put under the microscope by IM Rensch today, and it certainly isn't pretty! Yugoslav Attack players will learn a lot about the "deeper meanings" of their opening, and Dragon players will learn the importance of accurate development! | Watch video
In today's Member Analysis video, IM Rensch offers his best "universal approach" for Black playing against white's most aggressive 1.e4 openings... but that's just the appetizer! Stick around for his opinion on the importance of time management, why finding the "best move" is not always the "best idea", and why winning is so important... | Watch video

Ice Magic Festival
The Ice Magic Festival is an annual event taking place over 2 weekends at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel and other venues throughout the village.
The main competition of the 2016 event takes place from January 15-17; starting at 8am on Jan 15 and finishing by 2pm on Jan 17, 10 professional ice carving teams will use chainsaws to form huge ornate ice sculptures from 15 blocks of ice, which are then judged with awards presented at 4.30pm on Jan 17. This year's theme for the competition will be Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.
Tickets will be required to view the competition between 10am and 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, and can be purchased in advance from Ticketweb.ca or directly from outside The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or Samson Mall on the festival weekend. These tickets are for 1.5 hour time slots, so it's recommended to book in advance to get the time slot you prefer (adult $10, child/senior $5, family $25 (2 adults + up to 4 children)) . *Guests staying at a Lake Louise hotel will receive a complimentary ticket from their accommodation.
At Deer Lodge on Jan 16 there will be a speed competition from 2.30pm to 3.30pm where professional carvers will have just one hour to turn a block of ice into a masterpiece (no ticket required).
On both Jan 16 and Jan 17 there will be ice carving demonstrations, with demonstrations taking place both days from 12-12.30pm at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (ticket required), and on Jan 17 at the Lake Louise Ski Hill from 10.00 to 11.00am (no ticket required).
You can also view experts carving frozen works of art on both Friday 15th and Saturday 16th from 10am to 5pm at Mountaineer Lodge (no ticket required).
Snow Carving will also be making a daily appearance from Jan 15-24 (excluding Jan 19), when a professional team will be creating a huge snow sculpture at Chateau Lake Louise. Ice Magic tickets will be required to view the snow carving demonstration on Jan 23 & 24 between 10am & 4pm.
The weekend of January 23 and 24 is an opportunity for the kids to have a go at ice carving as well as other fun activities on both Saturday and Sunday.
From 11am to 3pm each day at Lake Louise Inn kids can try out ice carving for themselves in the Little Chippers Ice Zone. From 12.30 to 1.00pm and 2.00 to 2.30pm you can skate with the Ice Queen & King on Lake Louise, and from 12.00 to 3.00pm the Cozy Corner Kids Indoor Activity Centre at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers fun activities for the whole family (free entry with Ice Magic ticket).
Sculptures from the previous week's competition can be viewed all weekend at the International Ice Carving Site at Chateau Lake Louise, and the final 2 days of the Snow Carving demonstration will also take place. For these 2 events tickets will be required between 10am and 4pm on Sat & Sun (see above for ticket information).
Also on Saturday Jan 23 and Sunday Jan 24 there will be an ice carving demonstration from 10am-12pm and 1pm-4pm at the Chateau Lake Louise (ticket required),
While it's very impressive to see the ice carvers in action during the festival competition weekend, the magical sculptures can be viewed for several weeks after the event, as long as the temperatures stay low!
Ice Magic Hotel Packages in Lake Louise

Lake Louise Winterstart World Cup
Starting the last weekend in November 2015, the world's best alpine ski racers will compete in the Lake Louise Winterstart World Cup, Canada's only alpine skiing World Cup event, and the first downhill and super G races of this winter's World Cup circuit. On November 28 the Men's Downhill will take place starting at 11.30am and the following day November 29 will be the Men's Super G with an 11am start. The following weekend sees the women's races, with the Ladies' Downhill taking place on December 4 and 5 with a 12.45pm start each day and the Ladies' Super G on December 6 starting at 11am.
*Please note that the race schedule is subject to revision and details should be confirmed on the official race website.
The races will take place at Lake Louise Ski Area and spectators can see the finish line from the base area or with a lift ticket ski to view the races from various parts of the course. Although the race courses are obviously closed to the public before and during the World Cup, the majority of the ski hill is not effected and the rest of the slopes are usually uncrowded during these events.

Lake Louise Pond Hockey Classic
Now in its 5th year, the Lake Louise Pond Hockey Classic will take place February 21-23 2014. The word 'Pond' is used loosely here as the shinny tournament will take place on the majestic Lake Louise itself, making it perhaps the most scenic location in the world for outdoor ice hockey. Teams of four will go head to head in 30 minute games on both Saturday and Sunday, with the competition being decided with the final games on Sunday afternoon.
This event is lots of fun for the spectators and players alike, and is rounded off with a western style dinner and dance.

Will and Kate Choose Lake Louise for Private Getaway
Ever since the announcement that newlyweds the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would visit Alberta as part of their royal tour of Canada, speculation has been rife regarding where in the province they would visit. Set in the spectacular Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park was always a strong contender for the royal couple's itinerary, and indeed on the night of July 6 they chose to spend some private time at Skoki Lodge, a historic backcountry lodge and hiking mecca in the pristine alpine wilderness of Banff National Park, close to Lake Louise ski area.
While some rumours suggested that the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or the Post Hotel might be the accommodation of choice for Will and Kate, part of Skoki's appeal was undoubtedly the secluded location, being an 11 km hike, mostly uphill, from the nearest road. Prince William and Kate Middleton were able to fly in by helicopter, which must have been an awe-inspiring journey over the Canadian Rockies, on what was a beautiful clear blue sky day in the Banff and Lake Louise area.
Shortly after lunchtime July 7, the couple travelled by helicopter from Skoki Lodge to the Lake Louise ski area where they were able to freshen up and change before their onward journey to Calgary International Airport where, according to the Government of Canada's website for the Royal Tour, their official duties were due to resume at 4.30pm.
Charlie Locke, who with his wife Louise, owns both Skoki Lodge and Lake Louise Ski Area, said about the visit: "We believe we met their expectations with respect to providing the type of getaway they were looking for and that they enjoyed their time here. We hope that they will visit again."

Harvest This!
Art by Bob AulOkay, summer is here, and once again I am surrounded. Everywhere I go—video store, Del Taco drive-in, porn shop—I see them: HARVEST CRUSADE BUMPER STICKERS! As if there aren't enough fundie morons with Jesus Fish bumper stickers out there in OC. Nothing makes me happier than being cut off on the highway by some fucktard in a 4X4 with a "Real Men Love Jesus" sticker on the back. I gotta ask: Do you think your god likes having his name on the back of a car? I wish X-tians would show a little more respect for their beliefs than to degrade their messiah into a witty slogan, sharing space with Carl's Jr. "Eat Meat" stickers. How 'bout: "If you can read this, you're not saved"? It's a dang good thing that Jews, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists all have enough taste and sense to keep their beliefs personal and private. Can you imagine, instead of the diamond lane, the crucifix lane? Merging for Methodists only? I call on all freethinkers in OC to view these stickers as I do: targets.

Totoro In The Rain Box Frame
About this project
Posted By
susieGlasgow, Scotland, GB
Wanted to play on the image of Totoro standing in the rain with his wee leaf hat on, had this idea to use some elastic thread as the rain and the end result was really lovely.
Instead of using a box frame, I turned a regular photo frame into a box frame as I needed to be able to manipulate the cardboard at the top and bottom of the picture as you'll see.
You Will Need
- Cost
- Cheap
Step 3
Cut the details out of felt. Tummy, eyes, nose and little leaf hat (also his little grey chest markings that I almost forgot but remembered just in time!)
Use fabric clue to stick these in place, I also used a little stitch on the leaf to give it a nicer shape, this just takes playing around a little.
Step 4
Cut 4 strips of cardboard to the correct depth for your frame.'Sew' the elastic thread through the top and bottom strips. As you need some tension on these for the rain effect, getting the length right was trial and error for me. Remember to figure out how much space your figure takes up so you don't sew any threads where he stands.
Step 5
Fix your cardboard frame in place with a hot glue gun. Glue your figure to a colour card and the frame back, I chose a dark background to make everything pop (and cause it was the only card I had that was big enough :D )
Tape the frame back in place with the strongest tape you can find and enjoy what you've created!

Tasting Notes
Color: brilliant ruby red with touches of cherry red on the rim On the Nose: explosion of black currant, cedar wood, saw dust, grenadine and black cherry lingering on dry spices with touches of clay, nutmeg, chocolate and fresh plumOn the palate: soft fruit entrance with black currant, blueberry and black cherry, balanced with a backbone of acidity with hints of red currant, red cherry and blackberry pie
Wine Maker Notes
In 2009, we had a very consistent season with stable temperatures which gave us grapes with higher aciditry due to the temperate season. Although, in October Napa Valley had a major tropical storm which was followed by a less intrusive rain two weeks later. This forced most winemakers to pick prior to the rain. At Alpha Omega we decided to let the fruit hang through the rain to obtain better tannic ripeness. Because we have a quadruple sorting system we had the ability to sort out grapes that were not up to standards. Therefore, we had fewer grapes but perfect ripeness. Overall, the vintage is a bit more Bordeaux-like with wines with a lower alcohol content and a little bit higher acidity.
Technical Notes
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 75% Merlot 10% Cabernet Franc 7% Petit Verdot 8%

Halibut Donated to Diomede, Gambell, Savoonga, and Wales
Ten thousand pounds of donated halibut will help four communities affected by this spring's poor walrus harvest.
Ten thousand pounds of donated halibut will help four communities affected by this spring's poor walrus harvest.
When chilly conditions threatened to sour Lemonade Day, young business owners bundled up or moved their operations inside.
Now in its fourth year in the region, Lemonade Day involved nearly 300 children around the Bering Strait last year, bringing in more than $6,500 in earnings and another $2,500 in donations.
Graduation speaker Evita Samuels, 33, "died [Tuesday] at the [Diomede] school where she was staying," Troopers said Wednesday. Foul play is not suspected.
After recent repairs to its autopilot system, the single helicopter that ferries mail and passengers to and from Little Diomede Island is up and running (though still waiting on weather).
Serving the people of Western Alaska takes one to incredible places. Father Ross Tozzi recently returned from an extraordinary, unexpectedly lengthy stay in one of our region's most singular communities, and later this month, he'll be traveling again: this time, out of Western Alaska, entirely.
For weeks on end in February, one of the most isolated communities on Earth was cut off from the outside world with the halting of its regular helicopter flights. As KNOM reported, there was "no way on or off."
A single flight replenished essentials in mid-February, but with regular flights halted since January 22, Diomede is lacking for staples like drug prescriptions and mail.
Routine maintenance for the only helicopter providing flights to and from the Bering Strait island community of Little Diomede has left store shelves empty and essentials scarce.
A power outage in Diomede last week saw the Bering Strait School District and the Alaska National Guard work to get an electrician on scene and power restored by Friday.

Michael Weisskopf
Of the Washington Post, and co-author of a new Tell Newt to Shut Up
This is viewer supported newsDonate
After stunning success with the Contract with America, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives lost momentum by the end of the 1995, in part because the controversial rhetoric and personal foibles of Speaker Newt Gingrich. Michael Weisskopf of the Washington Post is co-author of a new book based on a Pulitzer prize nominated series of articles that went behind the scenes into the so-called Republican Revolution. Tell Newt to Shut Up documents Republicans' day-to-day efforts to reshape federal government and coddle corporate supporters.

It was made to comply with tight 1970s emissions restrictions without the need for catalytic converters. It wasn't exactly what you would call simple. Things got even more complicated in the '80s as emissions regulations got tighter and Honda had to put in a maze of vacuum tubes, wires, and enchanted elven enchantments to keep the thing legal.

The Power of Connections: Endangered Species Day
Guest blogger: Kristina Meek, Wild Encounters
There are currently 16,306 plants and animals listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). That's more people than visit our Zoo on a typical spring day.
It's Endangered Species Day, so you might hear a lot of shocking numbers like this, which could understandably put a damper on your day. If you wanted to make a difference, which of the 16,000+ would you even choose to start with? Well, you don't have to choose. All plant and animal life is interconnected, which means that by taking small actions that support a healthy ecosystem, you can benefit all species, including our own!
If you're visiting our blog, you're probably passionate about animals and the environment. That passion gives you power. Let's look at how you can harness your power to make Endangered Species Day the start of significant change.
What does "endangered" actually mean?
It's a good idea to first understand what we mean by the term. In the 1990s, the IUCN developed the Red List of Threatened Species™, widely recognized as the standard for evaluating a plant or animal's risk of extinction. They rank species along a continuum from "least concern," to "vulnerable," followed by "endangered," the more serious "critically endangered," and finally, "extinct." Watch this video to learn more.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also maintains a list of endangered species, as do state and local agencies. Around our Zoo and others, you might see signs that display an animal's IUCN classification. For example, you'll see that the red pandas are considered "vulnerable," while the black rhinos are "critically endangered."
Taking action
As we've said, one positive environmental action holds the potential to affect a lot of different areas. We're all living on the same planet, so shopping with reusable bags here in Cincinnati really does have ripple effects for polar bears in the Arctic!
Here at the Zoo, you can bring us your old cell phone for recycling, which reduces the need for mining metals in endangered gorilla habitat to make new ones. Go a step further by collecting phones at your school or around your neighborhood.
You can also support our many conservation field efforts. Cheetahs, western lowland gorillas, and keas are just a few of the species we're actively involved with conserving in the wild. When we work to protect these animals' habitats, we also benefit countless other species with whom they share space.
You don't need to limit your choices to those you can carry out at the Zoo. Change can begin in your own backyard…literally. Plant native plant species in your yard. They'll attract native insects which, in turn, will attract other native species that eat them, and native species that eat them. More pollinating insects means more native plants and, you see, the cycle really gets going!
Good news
As a team, organizations accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), like ours, have made strides in restoring more than 30 species to healthy wild populations, including the American bison, the California condor and a variety of aquatic species. (Read more about AZA efforts here.)
There has been good news just over the past year. In 2015, the IUCN moved the Iberian lynx from "critically endangered" to the less severe "endangered." The Guadalupe fur seal went from "threatened" down to "least concern." The global community has taken new interest in restricting trophy hunting thanks, in part, to the publicity surrounding Cecil the lion's tragic death. Change can happen.
And just last week, we received good news for a critically endangered species that is near and dear to our hearts, the Sumatran rhino. A female rhino calf was born on May 12 at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS) in Indonesia. The calf's father, Andalas, was born here at the Zoo in 2001 and moved to the SRS in 2007. With fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos left on the planet, this birth is significant for the species, and we are proud to have played a part in it.
There are infinite choices you can make to promote positive change, but you'll be most successful if you start with one or two that really speak to you. You'll help ensure that currently endangered animals are still around for your children and grandchildren to enjoy and, more importantly, you'll improve life on Earth for all of us.
And be sure to tell your friends and family. The power of your passion is contagious!
"The quality of our life on this earth is dependent on how we treat the rest of life on Earth. We have a moral responsibility to look after the rest of the world, the future of which now lies in our hands." –David Attenborough

Come Celebrate Ape Awareness Days!
It's time to go bananas again at the Zoo's annual Ape Awareness Days weekend, free with regular Zoo admission. From 10:00 to 3:00 on September 12 and 13, guests are invited to learn more about apes and how we can help save them in the wild at the Jungle Trails and Gorilla World exhibits.
Volunteers will be on hand at the orangutan exhibit to introduce guests to our shaggy, red-haired friends, Henry and Lana. There has been some good news for orangutans in the Malaysian state of Sarawak recently. The Chief Minister announced his intentions to enact new projects that will protect orangutans and other wildlife from their major threats of illegal logging and clearing forest for oil palm plantations.
One way we as consumers can help protect orangutans is by purchasing products made with Certified Sustainable Palm Oil. The world's most popular vegetable oil, palm oil is used in many of our everyday foods and products. Products made with sustainable palm oil, which is produced without clear cutting forests and harming wildlife, are listed in the Zoo's Sustainable Shopper App. Download it and use it during your next shopping trip to make sure the products you buy are orangutan-friendly.
At the bonobo exhibit in Jungle Trails, guests can visit with their own closest non-human relatives. Baby Bo, who was born in March, is growing more independent and curious every day. You'll want to see him before he's all grown up! Here guests will learn what makes an ape different from other primates and test their own ape-identifying skills.
Over at Gorilla World, the big news, of course, is that Anju recently gave birth to the 50th gorilla born at the Zoo since 1970. The little girl is Anju's first and Jomo's third baby. Mondika, who was born last summer, is now a big sister! Swing by the Gorilla Wild Discover Zone during Ape Awareness Days to get the full scoop and latest news on the baby.
We also encourage you to bring any old cell phones you may have around the house and drop them in one of our cell phone recycling bins. Cell phones contain an ore called Coltan that is mined in gorilla and bonobo habitat in Africa. Recycling cell phones reduced the demand to mine more Coltan and helps preserve habitat.
We hope you will come on out on September 12 and 13 and celebrate Ape Awareness Days with us and the rest of the primates at the Zoo!

Ontology Ontology, the philosophical study of being in general, or of what applies neutrally to everything that is real. It was called âfirst philosophyâ by Aristotle in Book IV of his Metaphysics. The Latin term ontologia (âscience of beingâ) was felicitously invented by the German philosopher Jacob Lorhard (Lorhardus) and first appeared in his work Ogdoas Scholastica (1st ed.) in 1606. It entered general circulation after being popularized by the German rationalist philosopher Christian Wolff in his Latin writings, especially Philosophia Prima sive Ontologia (1730; âFirst Philosophy or Ontologyâ). History and scope Wolff contrasted ontology, or general metaphysics, which applied to all things, with special metaphysical theories such as those of the soul, of bodies, or of God. Wolff claimed that ontology was an a priori discipline that could reveal the essences of things, a view strongly criticized later in the 18th century by David Hume and Immanuel Kant. In the early 20th century the term w ...

It is the description that Thomas Hobbes gives to human existence in the state of nature thought experiment that he conducts in De Cive (1642) and Leviathan (1651). The common modern English usage is a war of "each against all" where war is rare and terms such as "competition" or "struggle" are more common. bellum = war (nominative singular of second-declension neuter noun bellum, war) omnium = of all (genitive plural of adjective omnis, every) contra = against (preposition with accusative case) omnes = all (people) (accusative plural of omnis, every)

But as Thomas Hobbes pointed out so many years ago, civil war is also evil. Indeed it's the greatest of the lot.
Thomas Hobbes took a new look at the ways in which society should function, and he ended up formulating the concept of political science. His crowning achievement, Leviathan, remains among the greatest works in the history of ideas. Written during a moment in English history when the political and social structures as well as methods of science were in flux and open to interpretation, Leviathan played an essential role in the development of the modern world. An outspoken royalist, Hobbes fled to France during the English civil war, where he wrote this polemic, in which he calls for a powerful sovereignâa "Leviathan"âto act as an enforcer of peace and justice. Hobbes' articulation of this long-contemplated philosophy of political and natural science was finally published in 1651, two years after the overthrow and execution of Charles I. It met with a fire-storm of controversy that included charges of treason and sedition. This edition of Hobbes' landmark work is based on the original text. It incorpora ...
In my experience I truly believe that people do not just disconnect them selves from humanity and the world. Honestly I have days where I will go back to my old philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli where I should just not trust people because they will stab you in the back when they get the chance and then I'll feel like Thomas Hobbes when he says that life is cruel brutish and short. Unfortunately I have been feeling disconnected from the world for a few days. I feel like the Underground Man from Dostoevsky. I feel like if I talk any more, I'll just be ranting and honestly I don't have the time to write something that people will pass over not caring. That is why I stopped writing my journal entries and honestly if you don't like what I say, I don't like how you think.

3.16. The earliest study by a westerner on human society is so very recent by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) in his celebrated book âLeviathanâ.
Quotes on Humanity Or Human nature refers to the distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, that humans tend to have naturally, i.e. independently of the influence of culture. The questions of what these characteristics are, what causes them, and how fixed human nature is, are amongst the oldest and most important questions in western philosophy. These questions have particularly important implications in ethics, politics, and theology. This is partly because human nature can be regarded as both a source of norms of conduct or ways of life, as well as presenting obstacles or constraints on living a good life. The complex implications of such questions are also dealt with in art and literature, while the multiple branches of the Humanities together form an important domain of inquiry into human nature, and the question of what it means to be human. The branches of contemporary science associated with the study of human nature include anthropology, sociology, sociobiolog ...
Thomas Hobbes and John Lock taught us that Man created the state through a social contract and surrendered all his other rights but preserved the right to defend his life even when it meant resisting the sovereign. The killing of innocent Kenyans calls on our state to look at security in a different dimension. Every Kenyan has a right to defend their life against any threat from any quarter. It is time all Kenyans of good character and judgment above the age of eighteen to be authorized to bear arms if they so wish for the sake of self defense. The insecurity caused by this is counterbalanced by that fact that everyone will be their own security and the disciplined forces will be there for state security as well as our general security. there is no other way. Kenyans must not be slaughtered like chicken in their own country. Lamu/ Mpeketoni was a sad occurrence.
