Twelve-year-old Bonnie MacDonald - the beloved step dancing, fiddling youngest member of Cape Breton's famed Clan Donnie band - vanishes after a family party. There was no stranger spotted lurking around, but no one thinks for one minute that Bonnie ran away. Maura MacNeil, cousin to Clan Donnie, offers her husband's legal services to the family as the police search for the missing girl. But fame attracts some strange characters, and Clan Donnie has groupies. So, it turns out, does lawyer and bluesman Monty Collins.
Monty and Maura's daughter, Normie, is much closer to the action as she gets to know her cousins, learns things she wishes she never had, and has nightmares - visions? - that bring her no closer to finding Bonnie. Her spooky great-grandmother makes no secret of the fact that she senses the presence of evil in their village - the kind of evil RCMP sergeant Pierre Maguire left Montreal to escape. But he finds that vein of darkness running beneath the beauty and vibrant culture of Cape Breton.

NOCO & ACTFirst of all, I have to say a big THANK YOU to Meadjohnson Forum. When both my children were down with cough and flu, I tried to seek special remedy from this website. Some of the MJ members recommended E.Excel products - NOCO & ACT. Besides going through some research and study from internet, I also talked to E.Excel members like Jeff and TanLP (from MJ forum), YSMah and EETan (from office). I finally get to know more about E.Excel, and get convinced to use NOCO & ACT for my children.
Hubb and I have spent a lot of $$$ on their medical like medicines, consultation fees, X-ray, Hou Chor San, Poh Ying Tan and Chinese Herbs. Both of them have no significant improvement in their immune system and overall well-being. Since E.Excel products are all nutural herbs (without synthetic chemical), there is no harm to let them try.
NOCO - Strengthens the respiratory system including the lung and respiratory passages. Prevent frequent cold, cough, flu and bronchial distress. Improve asthma, fewer and less severe headache. (Main Ing: Ji-Lin ginseng, Dark plum, Peppermint Leaf, Chrysanthemum leaf, Licorice root, Ganoderma).
ACT - Enhances the immune system, the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Also cleanses and filters the blood of harmful microbes of foreign particles (Main Ing: Ganoderma, Luffa, Alfalfa, Tangerine Peel)
May is taking one capsule each and once daily. April is taking one capsule each and twice daily.
They are taking these supplements for a few days only. I can notice that they have improved a lot. May is totally not coughing now, and only having some phlegm noise. April is totally not coughing at sleep already, and having little phlegm and cough during awake time.
I am still waiting to see them totally getting well. I shall continue to feed NOCO & ACT for at least 3 months.

London Design Festival has grown larger and larger over the years but it's still the smaller offerings that I love the most.
Merci, the beautiful and far-too-enticing interiors/fashion/beauty store in Paris, had a pop-up shop downstairs at Tom Dixon at The Dock.
It was more of a hardware collection from Merci compared to their high-end Parisian shop but it was all presented very stylishly and I particularly liked their stationery and the extremely reasonably priced wine tumblers.
Apparently the pop-up was an experiment to see if they might open on a more permanent basis in London - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Over at The Tramshed, part of Designjunction, apart from the great Fernandez & Wells/Artek restaurant, I loved the cushions by Charlene Mullen, a textile designer who used to work with <a data-cke-saved-href=" target=" href=" target=" _blank"="">Dolce & Gabbana and Karl Lagerfeld. Quirky but homely, I was sold.

Murakami, Haruki (Translated by Ted Goossen) . WIND/PINBALL: TWO NOVELS. New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2015. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 235 pages. As New/As New.
New and definitive translations of the author's early novels. One of the most important literary events of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a regular first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents, in one volume, Haruki Murakami's "Ikaze no uta o kike" and "1973 nen no pinborun" in felicitous English translations. "Spring of 1978: A young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: Two remarkable short novels, 'Hear The Wind Sing' and 'Pinball 1973', which launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. These powerful, surreal works about two young men coming of age - the unnamed narrator and his friend The Rat - are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakami's later books, and form the first two-thirds, with 'A Wild Sheep Chase', of The Rat Trilogy. Newly translated and featuring a new Introduction by Murakami himself, 'Wind/Pinball' gives us a fascinating insight into a great writer's beginnings" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Haruki Murakami collectors. These titles are contemporary classics. This is one of relatively few copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Beware: Far too many copies were badly damaged in transit because of poor packing and handling on the publisher's part. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest living writers. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HARUKI MURAKAMI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0385352123. $50.00


text: Facet Joint Orientation Difference Between Cephalad and Caudad Portions: A Possible Cause of Degenerative SpondylolisthesisToyone, Tomoaki MD; Ozawa, Tomoyuki MD; Kamikawa, Koya MD; Watanabe, Atsuya MD; Matsuki, Keisuke MD; Yamashita, Takeshi MD; Wada, Yuichi MDSpine: October 1st, 2009 - Volume 34 - Issue 21 - p 2259-2262 doi: 10.1097/BRS.0b013e3181b20158 Anatomy Abstract In Brief Author Information Study Design. A case-control study. Objective. To measure the orientation of the facet joints at both cephalad and caudad portions and to compare them between patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) and patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS, controls). Summary of Background Data. Several radiologic studies have indicated a correlation between DS and an increased sagittal orientation of the facet joints. However, the orientation of the facet joints have only been measured on 1 axial cut of computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance imaging. Methods. Thirty-two patients with DS only at the L4–L5 level were assigned to group-1, and 28 patients with LSS without DS were assigned to group-2. Two computed tomography scans for the cephalad and caudad portions of the facet joint were made for L3–L4 and L4–L5 levels, respectively. Delta facet angle was defined as facet angle (cephalad)–facet angle (caudad). Results. Facet angles of the cephalad portion were more sagittally oriented (P < 0.001) than those of the caudad portion in group-1. The mean facet angle of the cephalad portion was 72° and that of the caudad portion was 57° at L4–L5. The mean facet angle of the cephalad portion at L4–L5 was greater (P = 0.001) in group-1 (72°) than in group-2 (62°). Delta facet angles were significantly greater in group-1 than in group-2. Mean delta facet angle was 15° in group-1 and 2° in group-2 at L4–L5 (P < 0.001), and 4° and 0°, respectively, at L3–L4 (P = 0.046). Conclusion. In this study, we confirmed that the cephalad portion of the facet joints were more sagittally oriented and that the caudad portion of the facet joints were more coronally oriented in patients with DS. These findings were observed not only at L4–L5 but also at the uninvolved L3–L4 level in patients with DS at the L4–L5 level. We confirmed that the cephalad portion of the facet joints were more sagittally oriented and the caudad portion were more coronally oriented in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis. These findings were observed not only at L4–L5 but also at the uninvolved L3–L4 level in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis at the L4–L5 level.

Picture: Melissa Gilbert 'Screen Actors Guild Award of Excellence Star' on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, California - 25.10.07
Revered former child star SHIRLEY TEMPLE BLACK is to be honoured at next year's (06) Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards for her movie career.
The actress will receive the Guild's Life Achievement Award for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment at the ceremony on 29 January (06).
In making today's announcement, Screen Actors Guild President MELISSA GILBERT said, "I can think of no one more deserving of this year's SAG Life Achievement award than Shirley Temple Black.
"Her contributions to the entertainment industry are without precedent; her contributions to the world are nothing short of inspirational.
"She has lived the most remarkable life, as the brilliant performer the world came to know when she was just a child, to the dedicated public servant who has served her country both at home and abroad for 30 years.
"In everything she has done and accomplished, Shirley Temple Black has demonstrated uncommon grace, talent and determination, not to mention compassion and courage.
"As a child, I was thrilled to dance and sing to her films and more recently as Guild president I have been proud to work alongside her, as her friend and colleague." Temple Black made her screen debut as a child in 1932. Her best known films are STAND UP + CHEER, BABY TAKE A BOW and BRIGHT EYES - the film which introduced her signature song ON THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP.
Take a look back at October's inaugural event.
The film is expected to continue without Mendes' involvement.

No, I use that board as reference so I can avoid to offend anyone I read several fanfic, not much, mostly scifi ones. But once again, the prevalence of ZnT fic is hard to miss
I wanted to post my fic, especially sacred twins, but my hellish grammar will trigger their temper as if I wrote about pedophiliac protagonist (wish I'm joking).

I meant the reaction, if you think grammar nazi is bad, try ten of them at once.
Worse, they tend to spark their own discussion, sometimes outside context of your fic. We call this threadjacking, and tend to confuse new member as well as pissing of seasoned writer who own the thread.
Anyway, that's enough of forum talking I think, if you have membership be sure to contact me, same old ZeroXSEED

Fine: I need to know if I should still have Kanzashi dislike her sister in Reversal. She's still the rep of Japan and she has her own IS now that Chifuyu didn't have people bending over backwards to offer her IS, so her sister shouldn't bother her much right?

Hate is kinda strong though, more like resent. Kanzashi still loved her.
As of why
> Better at everything
> Stole the spotlight all the time
> Think she can fix people's problems without asking first.
These are the internal factor, the external factor is people judging Kanzashi solely by Tatenashi as standard.

Not MERE healing factor
It's incredibly precise, miraculous healing factor.
Healing factor on the flesh won't help if your nerve system all screwed up afterwards. You can cut your arm, and have it mended. The cut heal in half a month, at least two months of extensive therapy is needed to make it functional, assuming no major destruction of the node. If there is... well, too bad.
Nerve is delicate and that's why dealing with it is a pain in the ass.

Eeeyup it is, that's what happen in canon right?
Basically, since Houki is no real factor there (not only inferior in skill, experience, as well as raw power, she's also ignored by her teammate), Laura is boned.
Power of teamwork yay
(oddly enough, I ignore this in favor of warrior therapy)

You mean, rather than Ichika going into 'little brother protective mode' and one-shoting Laura?
Depends, it was more meaningful for Laura to be defeated like that, after that, it just went to Ichika but thinking about it, I don't know why... Japanese for ya - 'Gain strength through adversity!'
Should I keep the Orimura as daimyo or promote them to shogun...? Leaning towards daimyo, personally but I can't think of anyone with the balls to try and tell Kuro-kō No Aijin Chifuyu what to do...

Barbeque & Grill | Pastry & Dessert | Bread | Vegetarian | Soups & Stews | Seafood
Ambrose Bierce quipped a century ago in his Devil's Dictionary that the "French eat more bread per capita than any other country because only the French know how to make the stuff edible." When bread machines took kitchens by storm ten or fifteen years ago I was skeptical. I had three reasons to be so. At the time I did not cook. I have ever believed I need to eschew bread from my diet, and I knew that I could get bread at the supermarket. I had forgotten how much better fresh is than store-bought.
Well, now I cook. I am still trying to eat bread in responsible amounts. I will give it up for a week at a time a few times per year. Five years ago I had fresh baked bread from a bread machine. I discovered that it's not anything like what you get at the store. Not even close. So I bought a bread machine.
Now, I have a unique handicap. My wife never eats wheat. And I spend a considerable amount of effort trying to avoid the stuff. So even if I have a bread machine, I rarely make the material for which it was intended.
Despite all these handicaps of my own, I love the bread machine. I have used it to make my own style of dark pumpernickle bread with lots of caraway. I make millet bread with it almost every week which my wife prefers to store bought - even the slices that I freeze for later consumption. And I use the bread machine's 'Jam' cycle to make granola.
There are a number of special ingredients listed here. Almost any health food store will carry most of these. We list suppliers at the bottom of the page.
In a bowl combine :
Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Rest covered for 5 min. Uncover. Allow to cool uncovered for 15 min.
As it cools, put into the bread machine:
Set it for the shorter bread cycle and start it. When 15 min are up or when the bread machine beeps for additional ingredients, add the fruit and nuts.
This is a rather durable bread. Composed of whole grain, beans, fruit, and nuts it is high in balanced protien, and contains fruits high in vitamins A&C. It has fair amount of fiber, and is high in omega-3 oils. In other words, one could survive on this bread alone for a very long time. It has a dry texture and keeps pretty well, although freezing is recommended with this bread as it is with most here.
Place into the bread machine
Set on jam cycle and run. Near the end of the jam cycle, boil 2 1/4 cups of water. When the machine beeps, remove the contents to a stainless steel bowl, place the bowl in your sink, and add the boiling water. Mix this up well, and allow it to rest and cool for 1 hour . Make sure the lid of the bread machine is open, so it cools down. (This' malting' cycle makes the grain taste better, it helps soften the millet kernels, and it helps the bread to rise. )
Wipe out the bread machine.
When an hour is up, place the following into the bread machine in this order:
Set the machine for whole wheat flour, fast cycle, and start the machine.When it beeps for additional ingredients, in about 30 minutes, slowly add 1/2 to 1 cup rice flour to correct consistency. It should be firm, not like batter but the dough should hold together.
If you are a vegan, you can add 2 tsp arrowroot instead of the egg.
This bread is Not gluten-free. It is, however, dark and complex, and delicious. If you find bread bland and pasty, this will change your opinion.
Bake on whole wheat bread cycle. This recipe creates out a dark, complex rye that is tender but has a bit of chewiness in the crust. Those with an adventuresome streak should add 1/2 cup raisins and 1 T. water to the recipe. And if you want it a little softer and cakelike, add 2 T. butter
It would be a mistake to imagine that a bread machine can perfectly emulate a French bakery. One of the charms of the French baguette is its particular shape and its particular crusty texture. One can get reasonably close on texture, but, if one bakes bread in a bread machine one cannot create the baguette shape. This is a reasonable substitute. A more serious baker might make the dough in the bread machine, then shape it and bake it in the oven. A really serious one will buy a heavy duty stand mixer with a dough hook and make it from scratch. But before going down that path, this is a great way to start out.
Bake on the long bread cycle dark crust.
This recipe is adapted from the back of a King Arthur Flour bag. Set the bread machine for quick bake bread cycle, about an hour and a half, medium crust darkness. Place the following ingredients into the bread machine in this order (important) :
Run the bread machine. Check the dough consistency during the kneeding cycle and correct if needed.
The result is a tan bread with a soft texture that toasts very nicely. It tastes delicious with peach, apricot, or cherry jam, and is very nice with butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
Bread flours differ from biscuit or pastry flours. They are made from high protien wheat. The protien in wheat is gluten and it is gluten that gives the bread its springiness and crustiness. It is for this very reason that it is used for bread, but other flours are used for baking cakes and biscuits. Bread flours typically contain 12% protien by weight, though one can find ones up to 13 %.
Pastry flours are low protien, low gluten flours. They have as little as 2/3 the protien as bread flour, being typically 8% - 9% protein. All purpose flour is halfway between, and this makes it suitable for both breads and pastries, but less than ideal for either. A serious baker or cook is likely to stock bread flour for breads and pastry flour for biscuits and cakes, especially if she enjoys crusty bread and melt-in-the-mouth cakes.
In making millet bread, it seems mighty inconvenient to toast the millet and flour first. So why do it? There are two reasons. One is that it makes the millet grain a little bit softer. Without the soaking cycle, the millet in the bread will be too hard and crunchy. The second reason is that yeast - having a metabolic system that is not far different from our own - prefer toast to bread. Toasting the grain and soaking it in hot water uncoils the starches, breaks some down into maltose and other complex sugars, and makes them available for the yeast as food. This completely changes the texture of the bread, making it supple and airy where otherwise it would be dense and crumbly.
The Zojirushi bread machine has a Jam cycle. This cycle is ideally suited for a number of tasks. One is the making of Granola. Granola is a mixture of rolled grains and nuts that may or may not incorporate dried fruit. The ideal granola has a nice gentle toasted nut and grain flavor that is nutty and subtle. Most commercial granola is highly sweetened and misses the mark by quite a lot. Diabetics and others who want the goodness of granola but want to limit blood sugar levels will want to make their own granola. It's incredibly simple.
Place in the breadmaker:
Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up. One can, of course add dried fruit, but it is often best to do this after the cycle is finished: some dried fruit will turn hard in this cycle. One can also add a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate if one wishes for an orangy flavor. This is an ideal variation if one is planning to add Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
If one craves crispy, lumpy granola then one must add some flour and some water or fruit juice. Add 1/2 cup of flour that has been mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda. And add a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate . If lumps are the goal, add the butter toward the end of the cycle. Or, one can simply load it up with honey.
The great advantages of bread machine granola are:
Eat Well and Prosper.

Hey Codecademy, I'm a graphic/visual designer and I've been learning some HTML and CSS on your site. I've had fun so far! I'm considering whether going into a web design or front-end development track is right for me, and if I need "full stack" skills. Everyone is talking about full stack like it's the thing to do with coding. I'm more interested in the design aspects , though, in building websites and not necessarily making apps or whatever.
Hey Jane! We'll break up your questions into a few segments to answer them.
do I need to be full-stack
Full-stack developers are more versatile at work, and they understand how to make the things that a user sees (front-end or client-side) and the things they don't (back-end or server-side) that combine to make pretty much everything you'll find on the web. That's one of the reasons why full-stack is in certain scenarios more valuable to an employer, because you can in one person have the skillset you need to do most jobs, but there are plenty of jobs for people who specialize in one but not both. Here at Codecademy we have multiple front-end engineers and web designers. The more applicable skills you have, naturally the more valuable you are and the more you're probably going to get paid. That being said, it's very useful for any front-end developer to know some back-end and vice-versa, but it's not required. If you don't like the "making apps or whatever," don't feel like you have to in order to get a job in code. If your skills and passions are on the design side of things, and if you don't like server-side as much… do what you love! Your visual and graphic design background give you a leg up in making websites look beautiful, that is an asset!
getting a degree
This is one that, as you might expect, comes up a lot around here! Degrees are often listed as a requirement for jobs as a filter to make dealing with loads and loads of applicants easier, even when a hiring manager in question would in fact be perfectly fine with hiring someone without a degree for that position. You can sometimes even think of it as outsourcing part of the vetting process - a degree means that A) a college admissions team selected that person B) that person worked hard and smart enough to pass a series of tests. A "better" college or higher degree shows this person passed some stricter vetting and worked longer/smarter. So, if you see a job that says "CS or other programming-focused degree required or some such… keep in mind that this doesn't mean that you must have that degree to get the job – it's often more of a shortcut for a hiring manager or HR team to slim down their applicant pool rather than a quote-unquote "real" requirement. This isn't to say degrees aren't valuable, or that all job openings that "require degrees" don't actually require degrees (you can't be a doctor without a MD!) but if you think about what a degree represents, are there other ways to show that you have something similar?
The problem then is in A) getting someone to take a serious look at your application without a degree B) competing with other people who may have a degree. That being said, it's always a task to get your application looked at, and it's always a task to get a job vs. other people who have arguably "more qualifications" than you. For those, things like having a warm intro from a mutual connection helps with the former, and your interviewing skills + portfolio + other unique qualities about you help with the latter.
Oh and Jane take a look at this article too. Salient point there:
"…People who weren't applying believed they needed the qualifications not to do the job well, but to be hired in the first place. They thought that the required qualifications were…well, required qualifications. They didn't see the hiring process as one where advocacy, relationships, or a creative approach to framing one's expertise could overcome not having the skills and experiences outlined in the job qualifications. What held them back from applying was not a mistaken perception about themselves, but a mistaken perception about the hiring process."
"When it comes to applying for jobs… of course, it can't hurt to believe more in ourselves. But in this case, it's more important that we believe less in what appear to be the rules."
When you see a job description and you think you can do that job (and do it well), apply for it!
If you keep pumping out great projects, it almost gets difficult to avoid getting a job offer someday.
With regards pro bono work, I wouldn't generally recommend it. It's like, charge less maybe, but without the carrot/stick of cash, lots of those early projects fail and hurt the ability to grow. When I was starting out and charging $600 for a banner… it was peanuts, but it meant something to me, the semi-unemployed junior dev. So getting approvals for work was like the thing. It helped me learn to invoice, work with clients, the whole thing. All that ensured I stuck with it through hard problems.
You can / should also reach out to recruitment agencies / firms, go to meetups and conferences.
Check out this thread for some more info.
hi i'm kyle, i come from a design background and focus on front-end work here at codecademy! i'd say being a full stack developer is the thing to do because it means you're versatile. it will take dedication to pick up all the skills you need to build an entire web application, and demonstrating an ability to do so in your portfolio is typically all you need to get a job as a full stack developer.
being a designer with some coding skills makes you versatile too. developers love the help if you can code up some styles or interactions well enough to save them time. i'd say keep exploring HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and if you feel excited by what you're learning, don't stop! stick with what you like, and you'll do great work.
Hey Jane, I'm Brian, I run hiring and recruiting at Codecademy, so I can speak from experience in what I need to see in order to give someone an engineering job offer.
Historically, getting a bachelors demonstrated a certain pedigree that employers found important. Today, especially in the engineering world, that is no longer is true. While being college educated helps add legitimacy to a resume, it is no longer a pre-requisite to get an interview or get hired. Individuals like Mark Zuckerburg and Steve Jobs have proven that if you possess the grit and determination to succeed, you can do so without completing a university degree.
Another thing to consider is that for international students, a computing degree is essential if you're hoping to get an H-1B visa to come and work in the US.
You do have the option of using "equivalent experience" in lieu of a degree (3 years experience = 1 college year), but the general opinion is that it's almost impossible to get your application past immigration officials without a degree.
Obviously, in the current climate, visa rules continue to change, so it's just something to bear in mind, rather than be a complete deal-breaker when deciding to whether or not to pursue a degree.

Thought Bubbles: Comic Book Moments of the Week
Damn it, Beechan, stop turning Bat-Family members evil! Just stop!
Am I the only one who thinks that BL Firestorm got to survive Blackest Night simply because he's, bar none, the coolest-looking of the space zombies?
I have no idea how Batman Beyond got so bad so fast. I was about say, Beechan was doing a decent job but it just self destructed in one issue.
Honestly, didn't he learn from Miller's DK2? It's gonna especially provoke more ire now that Dick is so well received as Batman
thanks for uploading the ghost rider stuff.
to be fair, I've been flipping through Brightest Day after dropping it over it's lack of story progression. I have to say, it's finally getting somewhere and Aqualad has a compelling storyline.
I'm not sure that Siren is confirmed as Aqualad's mother in this moment of the week. Black Manta says "You made him like you" not "he was born like you"...that sounds more like she somehow gave him his powers rather than gave birth to him.
Am I missing the subtext here???
BL Firestorm looks great, but "Deathstorm"? Did the Time Trapper just send DC Comics into the 90s?
Firestorm always looked good, but never better than this Black Lantern incarnation. But "Deathstorm"? Did the Time Trapper just send DC Comics back to the 90s?
I can't believe Johns resisted the urge to cruelly kill Aqualad's adoptive father. Also, I can't believe an Aquaman story is actually one of the most interesting of the group
X-23 was great - except the art. Can't believe they got something so wishy-washy for what I would think was a high profile issue.
I mean, it wasn't *bad*, but it certainly wasn't up to par with the writing. I think there were two pencilers? Whoever did the hell stuff seemed better than the other - the non-hell moments had lots of strangely proportioned people. Wait, I guess it's all Will Conrad? Different inkers? I dunno, I suck at art stuff.
I have to agree with Joe, Kirk. I think you misinterpreted Black Manta's comment. I don't think that he meant Siren was born like her.
I'm willing to concede the Black Manta/Siren scene is possibly misinterpreted on my part or, at the very least, not as concrete an confirmation as I state. To me, it still looks like he is saying that Siren made their son more like his mother (aka her).
Dr Doom 'allowing the breach of protocol' for the Incredible feckin' Hulk was too awesome for words.
lol, I loved that little bit Stan threw in at the end of ASM, hilarious.
I loved that line from ASM. Also, Dr. Doom always has the best lines.

Studies of raindrop size distribution (DSD) over different regions help to advance our understanding of DSD characteristics and provide observational facts regarding the development and evaluation of microphysical parameterization schemes in numerical models over different regions in the future. Liping LIU, from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and his colleagues, analyzed DSD data over the Tibetan Plateau (Nagqu) and southern China (Yangjiang) from April to August 2014, collected by HSC-PS32 disdrometers; in particular, the raindrop spectra and characteristics of parameter variations with rainfall rate for stratiform and convective precipitation, and the relationships between reflectivity factor and rainfall rate (Z-R relationships). The results are published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, and the paper is featured on the cover of Volume 34, Issue 6. The results indicate that the raindrop number concentration for convective precipitation over Tibet is much lower than that in southern China; and for larger raindrops, the condition is similar for stratiform precipitation. The rainfall rate over Tibet, with the same radar reflectivity, is much heavier than that over southern China. In terms of the radar QPE (quantitative precipitation estimation) equation, Z = aRb, the coefficient a over the Tibetan Plateau is smaller than that over southern China, while the value of b is higher, especially for convective precipitation.

Typhoon Haiyan was already one of the strongest tropical storms on record. Now it has another claim to fame. Analysis of satellite data has revealed that the storm, which hit the Philippines in 2013, hosted a spectacular lightning show in its innermost core – something not seen in recorded storms of similar intensity. Haiyan was found to have lightning at its core for 49 per cent of its life between 3 and 11 November that year, when it killed some 6300 people and wreaked huge damage to property and infrastructure. By comparison, hurricanes Rita and Katrina had lightning at their cores for just 5 and 3 per cent of their existence, respectively. "Lightning is usually infrequent in the inner core [of a storm]," says Wenjuan Zhang at the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Beijing. "Normally, lightning is found at the periphery of storms." Zheng presented her findings on 24 April in Vienna, Austria, at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union. They arise from an analysis of data on the lightning from space satellites, as well as from 70 stations on the ground that comprise the World Wide Lightning Location Network. She added that tracking lightning from space may turn out to be another way to monitor and predict the intensity of storms. "Lightning may be a proxy for intense convection," she says. But more research is needed to see if this is really the case. Zhang's analysis showed that the core lightning occurred in three stages of Haiyan's life: as it intensified rapidly in the west Pacific; at the point of its maximum intensity; and towards the end of its life, as it veered away from the Philippines towards the Asian mainland. She also found that the conditions where Haiyan formed were perfect for lightning to evolve, with unusually warm seas, high humidity and low crosswinds. These factors enabled the formation of high "tower" clouds, which accumulate positive and negative ions at different heights – almost like an enormous battery. With large areas of opposite charge building up within clouds, lightning strikes between clouds and down to the ground were abundant. The other striking thing, says Zhang, was that the lightning in the first two phases coincided with a storm formation that remained almost perfectly symmetrical when viewed from above. This may have been a further factor in focusing the lightning in the eye of the storm, she says, though it's not yet clear if this was the case. Only in the final phase did the symmetry disappear. But the core lightning re-emerged as Haiyan veered north, possibly because of changes in the interaction of crosswinds and storm movement.

Reduced dust slows winds, increases air stagnation over cities like Beijing; implications for US, other cities as well Man-made pollution in eastern China's cities worsens when less dust blows in from the Gobi Desert, according to a new study published May 11 in Nature Communications. Yes, you read that correctly: When less natural dust blows in, the air quality for millions of people worsens. That's because dust plays an important role in determining the air temperatures and thereby promoting winds to blow away man-made pollution. Less dust means the air stagnates, with man-made pollution becoming more concentrated and sticking around longer. The scientists found that reduced dust causes a 13 percent increase in man-made pollution over eastern China during the winter. Researchers say the broader question of how natural dust and man-made pollution interact is an important one for people across the globe, not just China. Many of the same forces that ease or worsen pollution in China are at play in many areas around the globe, including several cities in the United States. The paradoxical finding -- that more natural dust in the air improves air quality -- comes from a team of researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego. Post-doctoral researcher Yang Yang of PNNL is first author of the paper, and Lynn Russell of Scripps is the corresponding author. In computer models together with historical data, the team found that reduced natural dust transported from the Gobi Desert in central and northern China translates to increased man-made air pollution in highly populated eastern China. The reason is that natural dust particles in the air help deflect sunlight. Fewer dust particles translates to a warmer-than-usual land surface and cooler-than-usual water. That reduces the temperature differential in winter between sea and the land, resulting in weaker winds -- and increased air stagnation. As a result, during the winter monsoon season, eastern China experiences weaker winds when there's less natural dust in the air. It's nothing a person would notice -- a reduction barely more than one-tenth of one mile per hour -- but on a large scale over an entire region, such a seemingly minor change has a profound effect on climate and air quality. "This is one of the first times we've really looked at the interactions between natural dust, wind, and anthropogenic pollution," said Yang. "It turns out that dust plays an important role in determining the quality of the air for many people in eastern China." The modeling results match observational data from dozen of sites in eastern China. The team found that two to three days after winds had brought dust into the region from western China, the air was cleaner than before the dust arrived. The researchers say man-made pollution is still the core of air pollution in cities like Beijing in eastern China but that it's important to understand the role of natural dust particles. In addition to authors from Scripps and PNNL, scientists from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences contributed to the study. Work was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy Office of Science. Some of the research was performed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, an Office of Science national user facility on the campus of DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Human life and the entire ecosystem of South East Asia depend upon the monsoon climate and its predictability. More than 40% of the earths population lives in this region. Droughts and floods associated with the variability of rainfall frequently cause serious damage to ecosystems in these regions and, more importantly, injury and loss of human life. The headwater areas of seven major rivers in SE Asia, i.e. Yellow River, Yangtze, Mekong, Salween, Irrawaddy, Brahmaputra and Ganges, are located in the Tibetan Plateau. Estimates of the Plateau water balance rely on sparse and scarce observations that cannot provide the required accuracy, spatial density and temporal frequency. Fully integrated use of satellite and ground observations is necessary to support water resources management in SE Asia and to clarify the roles of the interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere over the Tibetan Plateau in the Asian monsoon system. The goal of this project is to: 1. Construct out of existing ground measurements and current / future satellites an observing system to determine and monitor the water yield of the Plateau, i.e. how much water is finally going into the seven major rivers of SE Asia; this requires estimating snowfall, rainfall, evapotranspiration and changes in soil moisture; 2. Monitor the evolution of snow, vegetation cover, surface wetness and surface fluxes and analyze the linkage with convective activity, (extreme) precipitation events and the Asian Monsoon; this aims at using monitoring of snow, vegetation and surface fluxes as a precursor of intense precipitation towards improving forecasts of (extreme) precipitations in SE Asia. A series of international efforts initiated in 1996 with the GAME-Tibet project. The effort described in this proposal builds upon 10 years of experimental and modeling research and the consortium includes many key-players and pioneers of this long term research initiative.

Dust storms have important climatic and environmental effect. Particularly, dust containing nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron, etc.) could exert a significant influence on the biogeochemical cycle in downwind sea regions, stimulate marine biological productivity, and reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations ("iron hypothesis" proposed in late 1980s). Since "iron hypothesis", scientists begun to pay attention to the impacts of atmospheric deposition on marine biogeochemical cycle. However, few studies have examined the direct link between natural dust events and marine biological productivity. In recent years, a series studies of Dr. TAN Saichun and Prof. SHI Guangyu from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their co-authors from Ocean University of China and Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences found that significant correlations were observed between East Asian dust events and chlorophyll a concentration not only in the open ocean of North Pacific Ocean, but also in the Chinese marginal seas. In addition to long-term statistics analysis, dust storm cases studies also found that phytoplankton growth in the Yellow Sea was related to dust deposition, and peak chlorophyll a concentration in dust years was above 40% higher than that in non-dust years. Those studies suggested the effects of dust fertilization on marine biological productivity. Recently, the team further investigated the transport process of East Asian dust events and quantitatively estimated the contribution of dust deposition to phytoplankton growth. They found that the combination of satellite-observed column and vertical properties of aerosol were able to show the transport of dust storms from the source regions to the research seas (Chinese marginal seas and southern North Pacific) and reduce the uncertainty of the identification of dust affecting the seas. The contribution of dust deposition to marine biological productivity was estimated from model simulated dust deposition flux. Results showed that dust containing iron was the most important factor affecting phytoplankton growth and the deposition of iron via severe dust storms satisfied the increase in demand required for phytoplankton growth (115-291%), followed by nitrogen (it accounted for up to 1.7-4.0%), and phosphorus was the smallest one (it accounted for up to 0.2-0.5%).

Global warming increases the water holding capacity of the atmosphere and thus precipitation characteristics are expected to change. Changing precipitation characteristics directly affect society through their impacts on drought and floods, hydro-dams and urban drainage systems. An understanding of the changes in precipitation characteristics is not only important for climate research but also of great significant merit in the management of water resources and agricultural activities. "To address climate change, detection and attribution studies of precipitation are essential. Nonetheless, the detection of regional precipitation change has been a challenge, especially at regional scale. Whether anthropogenic climate change is manifested through a detectable effect on East Asian precipitation remains unknown." Said the first author Dr. Shuangmei Ma of a recent study published in Journal of Climate. Ma currently works at Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. Supervised by her Ph.D advisor, Prof. Tianjun Zhou from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics/Chinese Academy of Sciences, her Ph. D research focused on detection and attribution of anthropogenic precipitation change over China. Their recently published work was the first attempt to investigate the changes in the distribution of the daily precipitation amount over China during the last five decades using observation data sets. They and their American and European collaborators applied the optimal fingerprinting detection and attribution method to assess the anthropogenic contribution to precipitation changes, based on the outputs of the CMIP5 models. "The results show that anthropogenic forcing has had a detectable and attributable in?uence on the distribution of daily precipitation amounts over eastern China (EC) during the second half of the twentieth century." Prof. Tianjun Zhou, who is the corresponding author of the paper, summarized their findings. "We have also found evidences suggesting that the observed shift from weak precipitation to intense precipitation is primarily due to the contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing, with anthropogenic aerosol (AA) forcing offsetting some of the effects of the GHG forcing." Under GHG-induced warming, increased atmospheric precipitable water and enhanced land-sea thermal contrast cause the water vapor transport to EC from the adjacent oceans via southerly and midlatitude westerly winds to strengthen, thereby favoring heavier precipitation over EC. However, the countering effects of surface cooling induced by anthropogenic aerosols meant that some of this enhanced transport is cancelled out by AA forcing. "We should also note that while the GHG forcing to the observed precipitation change is attributable and detectable, the signal of AA forcing is not as robust as GHG due to the limitations of aerosol schemes used in the current state of the art models." Zhou is hopeful that "the new models used in the Global Monsoons Modeling Inter-comparison Project (GMMIP) for the 6th Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP6) would have improvement in this regard".

Numerous studies have been conducted on the impact of soil moisture on the climate, but few studies have attempted to diagnose the linkage between soil moisture and climate variability using observational data. Here, using both observed and reanalysis data, the spring (April-May) soil moisture is found to have a significant impact on the summer (June-August) monsoon circulation over East Asia and precipitation in east China by changing surface thermal conditions. In particular, the spring soil moisture over a vast region from the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze River valley to north China (the YRNC region) is significantly correlated to the summer precipitation in east China. When the YRNC region has a wetter soil in spring, northeast China and the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze River valley would have abnormally higher precipitation in summer, while the region south of the Yangtze River valley would have abnormally lower precipitation. An analysis of the physical processes linking the spring soil moisture to the summer precipitation indicates that the soil moisture anomaly across the YRNC region has a major impact on the surface energy balance. Abnormally wet soil would increase surface evaporation and hence decrease surface air temperature (T a). The reduced T a in late spring would narrow the land-sea temperature difference, resulting in the weakened East Asian monsoon in an abnormally strengthened western Pacific subtropical high that is also located farther south than its normal position. This would then enhance precipitation in the Yangtze River valley. Conversely, the abnormally weakened East Asian summer monsoon allows the western Pacific subtropical high to wander to south of the Yangtze River Valley, resulting in an abnormally reduced precipitation in the southern part of the country in east China. © 2011 American Meteorological Society.

As the climate warms, tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere may have a greater effect than greenhouse gases on increasing the frequency of extreme rain and snowfall. Greenhouse gases and atmospheric aerosols both drive extreme precipitation, which is expected to increase with climate change. To tease apart the climate effects, Zhili Wang of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Beijing and his colleagues used a global climate model to simulate scenarios with different levels of greenhouse-gas emissions. They predict that, by the end of the century, aerosols will be two to four times more important than greenhouse gases in boosting precipitation extremes worldwide. Reducing aerosol emissions could help people to alter future climate-change impacts.

I've been having this weird issue with my mixing lately every since I set up a template for my mixer with a drum bus (wet) and (dry) and melody and vocal buses that when I use over a certain amount of effects my drums start sounding shitty and phased even if the effects weren't on any of the drum channels. For example I have 2 melodies. I throw an eq, delay and reverb on one and then try to put a gross beat on the other and suddenly my drums (only if bussed to my drum chnnel) get a phased sound and sound sort of ducked and just overall shitty.
It always solves the issue when I manually take a drum channel off of the bus for that sound but then that defeats the purpose of my bus.

Patagonia Made $10 Million On Black Friday And Donated Every Cent To Save The Environment
To show how important the environment is, the outdoor retailer donated all proceeds from Black Friday to grassroots organizations working to improve the state of the planet.
Shortly before Black Friday – the 'tradition' in which consumers mindlessly purchase goods they may or may not need, outdoor apparel and gear retailer Patagonia promised to donate all money from sales on the day to environmental causes.
According to the company's website, the "fundraiser for the earth" was a huge success. Patagonia expected only to make $2 million on Black Friday, but instead raked in an incredible $10 million. The best part? Every cent is being donated to grassroots nonprofits working to protect the planet's air, water and soil for future generations.
The company wrote:
"The enormous love our customers showed to the planet on Black Friday enables us to give every penny to hundreds of grassroots environmental organizations working around the world."
Company spokeswoman Corley Kenna told The Huffington Post that the idea to fundraise for the Earth was sparked after Donald Trump became President-elect. She explained that Patagonia was looking for a way to show just how important the environment and climate change are.
"We felt that these were issues that united us and I think this is a demonstration that people agree. Our customers agree," said Kenna.
Because Donald Trump believes climate change is a "hoax" invented by the Chinese, the large donation by Patagonia is considered to be a huge win for environmental activists. The company relays:
"The science is telling us loud and clear: We have a problem. By getting active in communities, we can raise our voices to defend policies and regulations that will protect wild places and wildlife, reduce carbon emissions, build a modern energy economy based on investment in renewables, and, most crucially, ensure the United States remains fully committed to the vital goals set forth in the Paris Agreement on climate change."
If you're an advocate for the environment, Patagonia is a great store to support. The retailer donates 1% of its daily global sales to green causes and urges its customers to buy fewer goods to reduce the amount of waste which is common in the fashion industry.

ON FEBRUARY 4, I was lucky enough to be one of the 750 or so ticket holders who attended the best night out in a while.
The Vale Sports Arena off Penarth Road hosted the first of many (I hope) well executed, super events.
Keyboard Warriors began as friendly banter via social media. Jamie Butler and Jimmy Camilleri – two local boys – began something so big no one could have predicted its enormity and success.
Under the steady guidance and unwavering professionalism of Alan Lamb, local baker and well know boxing coach, along with corner men Lee Froud, Leon Lamb and their teams, Jamie Butler, Jimmy Camilleri, Glenn Price, Steven Davies, Dean Brailsford, Michael Cutajar, Casey Thompson, Will Lewis, Dean Lewis, Nathan Cayton, Andrew Hurley, Kyed Ahmed, Nigel Batt, Gareth Griffiths, Steen Ross, Neil Avient, Ryan Butler, Milan Bjegovic, Anthony Lewis and Mikey Harris took each other on in the ring.
The event was superbly organised, the atmosphere electric.
People volunteered their skills and helped out in all areas. We also mustn't forget the lads who trained so hard to raise a staggering £13,060 for the worthy charity Ty Hafan. Jamie's mum works for Ty Hafan so he has seen all too well how Ty Hafan relies on donations like this.
The next time you hear people making unfounded derogatory remarks about Barry remind them that just under 1,000 Barry and local people gathered that night and there wasn't a hint of trouble.
In fact all the comments I have heard are that of praise and positivity of what can be achieved as when it matters Barry people unite – FACT.
I speak on behalf of most people I'm sure when I say you are all champions in our eyes. Win, lose or draw you all deserve a medal. I am immensely proud of Barry town and its people.
When's the next one then boys? I can't wait.

Israel quietly legalizes pirate outposts in West Bank
Published 1:21 pm, Tuesday, August 30, 2016
MITZPE DANNY, West Bank — One night in the fall of 1998, a self-professed "outpost entrepreneur" brought three trailers to a rugged hilltop in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and established his first pirate settlement.
Dozens of youthful supporters came to cheer on the entrepreneur, Shimon Riklin, whose wife, newborn and toddler joined him a few days later.
They named their outpost Mitzpe Danny, after a British immigrant stabbed to death by a Palestinian at the settlement across the highway.
Today, more than 40 Orthodox Jewish families live in Mitzpe Danny, one of a string of outposts on a strategic ridge with breathtaking views southwest to Jerusalem's Mount of Olives and east all the way to Jordan. They are part of an expansive network of about 100 outposts established mostly over the past two decades without government authorization.
At least one-third of these have either been retroactively legalized or — like Mitzpe Danny — are on their way, in what antisettlement groups that track the process see as a quiet but methodical effort by the government to change the map of the West Bank, now in its 50th year under Israeli occupation.

With the Israeli-Palestinian peace process dormant and the international community increasingly suspicious of the right-wing Israeli government's commitment to the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state, the outposts are being seized on as evidence that the conflict may be impossible to unwind.

A new trailer for Disney's Oceans documentary is here and it's pretty amazing. This is a sequel of sorts to their first film, Earth, which followed various animals from all over the planet, including the oceans. This will focus only on the oceans, and the film they've captured of these animals is incredible.

text: As promised, here is my results of the hunt that we had in Unit 5B South. It was the late season rifle hunt for bull Elk. We arrived up in the hunting area on Wednesday eve and set up the RV at Happy Jack RV park just off of National Forest Rd 3, or Lake Mary road known to others. The weather was clear and the moon rose at sundown and shined bright all night long. Thursday we went out scouting and found several good areas with promising bull Elk sign. One thing we realized right off the bat, the roads suck! Tons of rocky roads up there and they were rather rough at spots. Thats ok though because my 07 Ford F-150 FX4 performed like a champ. So we decided to work an area just West of Grapevine tank by FS road 82. Up early Friday morning and off to the location. We had 3 in our party and 2 went into the wind up to the top of the hill and worked our way around. The 3rd person went North towards 2 tanks that the Elk were using to water. Needless to say, opening morning, there were a ton of other hunters out there and I had 2 walk up on me. They came from almost a mile away, walking with the wind blowing to their back. Basically, that morning was a wash, not many shots in the area. Saturday, Sunday and Monday were pretty much the same. We worked different areas and one of our party got onto some Elk but they were cows with a couple of small bulls running with them. He decided not to shoot one of the smaller ones just yet. I didn't see anything but there were plenty of sign. We seen them off of FS 135 just West of Tremaine Lake. Worked that area all day Monday but didnt see any other Elk. Tuesday faired a bit better. We moved over to an area where others have seen Elk and a nice 6x6 was taken in that general area. The guy we talked to with the 6x6 said there were a couple of other bulls with the one he shot. We hit the area early in the morning and up to about 11 am, all was quiet. Around 11:30 I was working my way back over a ridge heading to the truck, pretty much minding my own business. It had gotten warm out so I stopped and took a layer off and packed it in the backpack, sat on a down tree and took in some water. One buddy was 2 ridges over to my West and the other a ridge over on my East. As I got up, rifle slung over my shoulder, I walked about 200 yds when I seen 2 bulls jump from the bed. I took a knee, slung my rifle off my shoulder and got a good look at the lead bull. He was a 5 x something and parked it behind 2 hardwood trees. I had about a 1 ft window between the trees that he stopped behind, 50 yds away. As I was raising the rifle, he pulled what I call a Houdini act and dissapeared. If he would of gone straight, or backwards I would of had him. But he took a hard right, behind the hardwoods and all I seen was back side. He never gave me a shot. Never seen him, or the other one again.... Wednesday we hit another area where we found a tank about 1.5 miles from any roads, up in a meadow, surrounded by juniper and pine trees. Gary David Tank was our target and we started working that way from Jack's Tank off of FS 704. We worked the southern ridge up til 0930 and headed into the North wind towards Gary David. Me and a buddy still hunted that way and the Elk sign was everywhere. As we hit the ridge just before the tank, my buddy took up a spot and started shedding a layer of clothes. I head down towards the tank, which was about 700 yds from him. I hit the tank and hung out in that area til around 11. Headed East towards Tremaine Lake and about 200 yds away from the tank I ran into a vehicle. No roads around anywhere. I seen 2 hunters carving up an Elk so I took a hard right and headed up the ridge to my buddy. I got about 100 yds away from the vehicle when a Spike Elk jumped up and gave me a 30 yd broadside shot. Since I missed out on the 5 x whatever, and we only had 2 days left, I put a 180gr Nosler Partition in him. He went about 8 steps and fell over. After the shot, the 2 guys from the truck came my way to see what I shot. We talked for a bit and they told me they took a Spike about an hour after sun up. They drove their small truck up over the side of the hill and there was no way I was gonna do that with my F150. Too many rocks and the longer wheel base wasnt gonna take it well. So I humped the 1.5 miles back to the truck while my buddy gutted the bull. Got the truck to about 1/2 mile from the elk and used the ATV to get him drug back to the truck. So there it is. Pics to follow.

Niche IP firm Hoyng Monegier has hired a team of lawyers from Benelux giant Nauta Dutilh.
Liesbeth Weynants, formerly head of Nauta Dutilh's life sciences and data protection team in Brussels, joins Hoyng Monegier's Brussels office.
The appointment comes less than a week after Nauta Dutilh announced it was launching a Luxembourg IP practice to complement its existing Dutch and Belgian capabilities (14 October 2011).
Hoyng Monegier managing partner Willem Hoyng said Weynants' focus on regulatory work would give the firm "an additional edge" over competitors.
Weynants is Hoyng Monegier's 20th partner. The firm was launched in January this year by a team of partners splitting away from US firm Howrey, which later collapsed (11 October 2010).
