To install MAMP server visit: www.mamp.info
We have the option of downloading MAMP or MAMP Pro. MAMP Pro has some additional features that are not included with the free version.
We will be working with the standard MAMP package, so click the first download link.
Make sure MAC OS X is selected and click "download".
The file is fairly large (255mb), so it may take a few minutes.
Once installed, double-click the MAMP package.
Click "Continue" when prompted.
Accept the License Agreement.
Click the Customize button at the bottom and uncheck "Mamp Pro".
Type in your system password if needed, in order to install the package.
Once the installation has completed, click Launchpad and open MAMP.
Leave the check box selected and click the "Launch Mamp" button.
When the MAMP dialogue box appears, click the "Preferences" button.
We will configure some basic settings before launching the server.
Now click "Ok" and click the "Start Servers" button.
This will launch both the MySQL and APACHE services.
Once the server has booted, click the "Open WebStart page" button.
Your web browser will load with the default MAMP server page.
This indicates that your server is configured properly and working.
The page also gives some important information about your MAMP server settings.
One of the most important things to keep in mind is the MySQL Password, which is set to "root" by default. You will use this password to establish database connections as we progress through the lessons. Since windows users do not require a MySQL password by default, most of the lessons in the PHP and MySQL section of this course will have a blank password. You will need to replace the blank password with "root". You will have a better understanding of this later in the course.
The Host URL is Localhost.
This URL will be used very often as we progress through the lessons. If you click on the localhost link in your browser, you can see the address of this particular file on your computer.
It is located in the MAMP folder inside the Web Root directory.
The 8888 is the default port number assigned to APACHE HTTP web server.
You will need to make sure you include the port number in your url to access your web files.
To access your web root directory, click on "Finder".
Then select "Applications".
Click on the MAMP folder.
Open the htdocs directory.
This is where all the website projects will be stored. The directory is currently empty, we will be adding folders later on.
Say for example we wanted to develop a website called "mywebsite".
We would create a folder called mywebsite and store our html files in this folder.
Then to view the site we would type in:
Where index.html would be replaced with the name of the web file.
We will be exploring this in more detail later in this section, so don't worry about it for now.
Now back in the main MAMP folder, there are a few important configuration files that will be used later in this course:
Once you have completed these steps you can close your web browser, and the folders we opened. You can leave the server running, since we will be using it in the next lesson.

Fans Cringe Over Final Fantasy V's "Enhanced" Graphics on Steam
- Related Games:
- Final Fantasy V
- Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy fans are displeased with the art style, to put it lightly, of the upcoming port of Final Fantasy V on Steam which releases on September 24. It boasts "enhanced graphics" but is based on the mobile version of the game.
Some of the reactions in a thread entitled "Why'd they messed up the art?" describe the UI as being from RPG Maker (and I can't disagree there) and call this version of FFV to being just a downgrade from the original.
Changing the graphics for a beloved classic will always be controversial, but only if they could have spent the time to enhance the original sprites similar to the enhanced port of FFIV on PSP. Taking a look at some of the other screenshots of the port, it's difficult not to wince as much as they work for HD resolutions.

i grew up the only girl child in the family, so naturally i was graced with pink, well, everything.
my room was pink, the carpet was pink, the bed was pink, my sheets were pink, i had a huge stuffed poodle that was pink, my clothes were pink.
did i mention my room was pink?
ah, my room. my room was wallpapered in a very busy pink floral pattern. and in her own 'pre martha stewart' way my mother coordinated everything in the room.
the bedspread matched the wallpaper, as did the dust ruffle, as did the curtains. she even wallpapered the chest of drawers, the switch plate and the waste paper basket.
|did i exagerate?
for the longest time i got great satisfaction from stating that i hated pink. then one day a funny thing happened. i bought a bottle of fuchsia paint.
and i fell in love with pink!
i now embrace the pink. in the most tasteful way of course!
( we also bought a pink house, my poor husband!)

First brick for my 'secret' project is ready. It is a remote LCD based on NodeMCU. Such node has a char lcd (HD44780) connected to it and listens for incoming broadcast messages. After receiving message that is for this node it displays content. It is nothing new but lets quickly summarize it.
Source code on GitHub
Wiring HD44780
As a brain I'm using NodeMCU v3. Why v3? Because it has a nice VU pin with 5V 🙂
We can connect any HD44780 via GPIO (here is sample for any except 40×4, for it add E2 connection):
LCD NodeMCU 1 VSS ------------- GND 2 VDD ----------------------- VU 3 V0 ------/\/\/\- \---- GND 4 RS ------------------------ D6 5 R/W ------------- GND 6 E ------------------------- D7 11 D4 ----------------------- D5 12 D5 ----------------------- D3 13 D6 ----------------------- D1 14 D7 ----------------------- D2 15 A ------/\/\/\- \---- VU 16 K -------------- GND
Or via i2c (here is 40×4 with E2, for other remove E2 wiring):
LCD PCF8574 13 -------- GND GND ----- A0 Vcc ---- +5V 14 -------- +5V GND ----- A1 SDA ---- D1 12 --/\/\ [potentiometer] GND ----- A2 SCL ---- D2 \--- GND LCD4 ----- P0 INT 11 [RS]---- P4 LCD3 ----- P1 P7 10 -------- GND LCD2 ----- P2 P6 ----- LCD15 9 [E]----- P5 LCD1 ----- P3 P5 ----- LCD9 15 [E2] --- P6 GND ----- GND P4 ----- LCD11 4 [DB4]--- P0 3 [DB5]--- P1 2 [DB6]--- P2 NodeMCU 1 [DB7]--- P3 SDA --- D3 17 --/\/\ [potentiometer] SCL --- D4 \--- +5V +5V --- V
We are using boilerplate as the base. We have two configuration files, one is parameters.lua and second is parameters-device.lua. If you do not have those files remove .dist from parameters.dist.lua and parameters-device.dist.lua.
Be sure that you set NET_AP and NET_PASSWORD correctly (in parameters.lua). AP is the name of access point and PASSWORD is its password.
Next set node name in parameters-device.lua. This is the name that I will refer to quite often.
With this node should boot. If you ever hit reboot-loop wire GND to D1, it will abort booting.
Setting LCD
Main code goes to main.lua file. This file is launched after making WiFi connection.
I'm gonna show you two examples, one with display 16×2 connected via gpio and second with 40×4 connected via i2c.
16×2 via GPIO
network_message = require "network_message" gpio_driver = require "lcd_hd44780_gpio" hd44780 = require("lcd_hd44780") server_listener = require "server_listener" hd44780_handler = require "lcd_hd44780_handler" drv = gpio_driver() lcd = hd44780(16, 2, drv, 'buffered', 0, 0) lcd:init() lcd:set_xy(0, 1) lcd:write("Awaiting content") lcd:set_xy(9, 0) lcd:write("-(=^_^)") lcd:flush() --attach lcd to handler lcd_handler = hd44780_handler(lcd) -- add handlers to listener server_listener.add("lcd", lcd_handler) print("ok") -- run server server_listener.start(5053)
What is going on there?
First we import 5 modules. Those required by display are: lcd_hd44780_gpio and lcd_hd44780. First is a driver, define the way lcd is connected to nodemcu, second is higher abstract class, allows easy writes.
Module network_message takes care of network messages.
We have a module server_listener. Its job is to receive messages and pass them to all handlers. And handler is a special class that knows what messages are supported by module. In this example we have a hd44780_handler.
40×4 via i2c
network_message = require "network_message" i2c_driver = require("lcd_hd44780_i2c") hd44780 = require("lcd_hd44780") server_listener = require "server_listener" hd44780_handler = require "lcd_hd44780_handler" --setup LCD pins = { RS= 4, E1= 5, E2= 6, DB4= 0, DB5= 1, DB6= 2, DB7= 3, } drv = i2c_driver(0x20, 4, 5, pins) lcd = hd44780(40, 4, drv, 'buffered', 0, 0) lcd:init() lcd:set_xy(10,1) lcd:write('Awaiting content') lcd:set_xy(10,3) lcd:write('> Ready') lcd:set_xy(33, 0) lcd:write('-(=^_^)') lcd:flush() --attach lcd to handler lcd_handler = hd44780_handler(lcd) -- add handlers to listener server_listener.add("lcd", lcd_handler) -- run server server_listener.start(PORT)
In this example we are using lcd_hd44780_i2c driver. We set pins manually because we are using second E signal.
Network messages
Message is a packet in iot:1 protocol. This is used to communicate between Nodes. It is simple json string. After receiving message, server decode it to table and checks if current node is on target list. To target all nodes keyword ALL is used.
Lets look at sample message:
{ "protocol": "iot:1", "node": "Rpi-lcd-1", "chip_id": "RpiB", "event": "lcd.content", "parameters: [ "content": [ "-(=^.^)", " " ], "response": "", "targets": [ "nodemcu-lcd-40x4" ] }
Three events are supported by LCD handler: lcd.cmd, lcd.char and lcd.content. For us most important is lcd.content.
When sending it you need to send content of each row (field parameters/content).
Real live usage
So we have a nice device, some messages, protocols, nodes but who cares? We want to display something ! But how to do it?
It is relatively easy when we use CharLCD Python module with WiFi driver.
We can easily install it via:
pip install charlcd
and we need one more library: iot_message. This is python implementation of iot:1 protocol.
pip install iot_message
We have all dependencies so lets see the code:
from iot_message import message from charlcd.drivers.wifi_content import WiFi from charlcd.buffered import CharLCD msg = message.Message('desktop-main') drv = WiFi(msg, ['node-40x4'], ('192.168.1.255', 5053)) lcd = CharLCD(40, 4, drv) lcd.init() msg1 = message.Message('desktop-main') drv1 = WiFi(msg, ['node-1'], ('192.168.1.255', 5053)) lcd1 = CharLCD(16, 2, drv1) lcd1.init() lcd.write('Hi from desktop !', 1, 0) lcd.write('-(=^_^)', 33, 0) lcd.flush() lcd1.write('-(=^_^)', 9, 0) lcd1.flush()
msg = message.Message('desktop-main')
In this line we create a message pattern and set our name.
drv = WiFi(msg, ['node-40x4'], ('192.168.1.255', 5053))
Here we initialize WiFi driver, we set Message, target node names (names of remote LCD nodes) and our broadcast IP with port.
lcd = CharLCD(40, 4, drv) lcd.init()
Finally we initialize LCD with size and driver. In this example we are using WiFi driver but we may use i2c or gpio driver. This is very useful on Raspberry Pi.
lcd.write('Hi from desktop !', 1, 0) lcd.write('-(=^_^)', 33, 0) lcd.flush()
In those three lines we write to buffer at position 1×0 and 33×0. Then we flush content to LCD. Buffer works locally but flush() sends it to remote node.
This summarize remote LCD Node. If you want to know more see tag nodehd44780
TLDR: node can display text that is in message delivered via wifi. Easiest way to send sth to it is via CharLCD python library.

17 Feb River of stone
We often walk the Ruta de la Mineria. It runs through the hillsides where, until the 1970s, lead and iron were wrested from the rock. It's a walk of about 10km, simultaneously scenic and chilling. Setting out from the village, you climb up into Serena, a tiny pueblo aptly named, through an almond grove and, from there the track winds through the hills and valleys that gave up their treasure to men crouching in deep dark holes wielding pickaxes and shovels through long hours of dangerous work. Disused mine workings still dot the landscape, brick and stone crumbling back to earth; traces of wooden sleepers along the narrow verge where a track carried wagons pushed by men or pulled by mules to take the day's pickings away through tunnels dug out of the rock.
The miners' trail sits high above a gorge, the bed of a river that eventually joins another, wider river further downstream. Or just 'down' – 'stream' is an abstract concept here. We've never seen water flow through these rivers, though we're told that occasional storms bring torrential downpours that fill them rapidly – a sudden fortissimo interlude in a quiet lullaby.
We'd always talked about walking down the river bed to where it joins the bigger river at a bend where a ruined house stands guard over more almonds and where you can climb back up to re-join the trail. We'd been told that sections of the river course might be impassable – massive rocks, steep drops. But we reasoned that the man who told us had never done the walk himself, so what did he really know? If it was impossible, we'd just turn back.
The descent starts gently; easy walking over pebbles or low, smooth rocks. Sides cleaved by the river over millennia are wide for the first hundred metres or so. We're entranced by the rocks strewn across the floor. Such absurd variety seemed not to belong in a single landscape. Had a sample of every rock in the world been put into a huge tub, shaken around then poured from a great height? Colours that mesmerised; patterns that baffled; shapes that confused. A slab of rock with dark lines dribbled across it as if water had been spilled a moment ago and had not yet dried. I touch it and my hand comes away dry. Pale rock with dark veins as if alien blood had coursed through; massive, smooth, steel-grey boulders mottled with white like the skin of a spotted seal. Smaller stones of every possible colour – white, copper, bronze, ochre, aubergine, green, black, every shade of grey and brown. What a show-off this hidden river bed turned out to be.
There were moments when the mouth went dry and deep in the belly something fluttered. A 30 ft precipice of sheer, smooth rock that time has not yet humbled. No footholds. And obviously no rope – we're hikers after all. But maybe there's a way round. We'd hate to give up. The childish delight of scrambling and slithering and telling ourselves we could do it overcame the combined chronological age and the fact that we probably should know better.
It was a thrill for every sense. Adrenaline pumps and you can feel the tingle in the tips of your fingers. An intense smell of thyme that seems to grow everywhere, tucked into unseen crevices, so that when you sit to slither down a glossy rockface you inhale the pungent aroma. It's a narrow canyon now whose steep sides must trap the moisture at night and limit the evaporation by day so that the further and deeper you go the more abundant the wild flowers and shrubs that litter the river bed. The spindly, delicate lavender that thrives by the roadsides higher up is plentiful here, no fierce sun to shrivel its leaves, no dust to dull its colour. Lavatera look-alikes reach up for light, their pale lilac petals around a bright yellow heart. This feast of nature and time was so far beyond our expectations.
Then we found the little cross.
By the edge of what would be the river were water to run here, a cross painted yellow, red and green. Stark colours that reminded me of the little trolley of wooden bricks I had as a child. It was set into concrete and the dates of the life commemorated were inscribed. A four-year-old child died here in August 2010. We feel shocked at this tiny, poignant memorial that hardly anyone will ever see. And we speculate about what happened, here on this unmarked route far below the narrow miners' trail, about parents still grieving, unable to forgive themselves or to forget.
It's all about the contrast, I suppose. A walk through geological time and the eroding passage of a river over thousands of years. The span of life of a child.

The plugin functions of Quicksilver are really attractive and always tempt me to switch. But I still just like LB better -- not to mention that QS isn't fast or stable enough. Whether plug-ins or not, I'd love to see more actions and combinations of multiple actions included in LaunchBar.

The trek is expected to cover most of the towns in eastern Uganda in 10 days
A team of four walkers in the 370kms trek from Kampala to Kapchorwa to create awareness about climate change has reduced to three.
This was after Gerald Muhumuza, the deputy headmaster at Bishop Cyprian Kihangire Senior Secondary School run out of gas on the second day of the trek.
Geoffrey Walker Ayeni who is the chief walker is leading two colleagues, Oco Dunstan, a student at Uganda Christian University and Julius Onyole, a pastor and civil engineer.
The trek is expected to cover most of the towns in eastern Uganda in 10 days. The trekkers were flagged off on Monday by Paul Mafabi, the director in charge of environment affairs in the Ministry of Water and Environment.
"We are strong and we have that passion, seeing people are very receptive, people," said Geoffrey Walker Ayeni who is the chief walker. "We have met cheerful people at Lugazi and Najjembe."
He added, "We planted trees at Coca-Cola at Namanve, Luganzi and Najjembe within Mabira. We hope to plant at the stop overs as we walk towards Kapchorwa."
Ayeni crossed the New Nile Bridge which is the longest bridge across the Nile on Wednesday. Ayeni crossed with two of his colleagues.
The walkers have been supported by Care International (Uganda) and the National Association of Professionals Environmentalists (NAPE).
The chief walker said they had planted trees at Nile Breweries on the western side of the Nile before crossing to the eastern banks of the Nile. He said they were going to plant trees at Bidco and Kakira before heading towards Iganga.
"We are introducing planting trees for protecting the environment and absorbing the fumes," said Ayeni, adding that tree planting needs to be scaled up.

Out-Law Analysis | 27 Nov 2017 | 3:08 pm | 5 min. read
While payment services, and banking more generally, have undergone transformational 'digital' change in recent years, Open Banking promises a further step-change from early 2018 when new EU payment services laws take effect.
In the UK, parallel requirements set by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is also mandating change.
Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com, has teamed up with Innovate Finance to take a look at the myriad of issues that the new world of open banking raises. A joint report, featuring the results of study into attitudes towards open banking carried out with industry experts, as well as answers from interviews conducted with banks and fintechs and analysis of the trends in the market, will be published on 29 November.
Not so long ago consumers and businesses were limited in the ways in which they could make payments and access information about the transactions they make.
Cash, cheque and credit cards were, for a long time, the only options for a payment account customer, whether consumer or business. The 1980s, however, brought revolution with the arrival of telephone banking. This was followed by chip-and-pin payment cards made available in the early 2000s along with online payment services as the internet gave birth to e-commerce and it began to grow.
Online banking has since continued to develop, with mobile apps seeing a growth in popularity as more and more people become increasingly reliant on their smartphones. Many online and mobile payment solutions now focus on making transacting a slicker, more convenient activity, particularly as customer expectations have heightened since widespread adoption of 'contactless' payments.
These developments have led to an increasing opportunity for effective 'personal financial management' ("PFM") solutions. Where customers previously had to access each of their bank or payment accounts individually making it difficult to get an overall picture of their finances, PFM tools enable them to view this information in real-time, aggregated form. Building on the work of early pioneers of transaction account aggregation services, the opportunities open to innovators appear to be endless.
Today, the market is a hive of new activity and innovation. For consumers, there are cards that allow you to spend from multiple accounts, credit providers that use transaction history to create a fairer credit score and mobile payment products offering incredible loyalty packages and rewards. For businesses, B2B payments can be made faster with less associated cost, intelligent algorithms can help manage cash flow and track business expenses and business loans can be accessed quicker with less arduous paper work.
Reforms to regulation appear set to move the markets forward towards wider adoption.
The foremost reform having this impact is the Payment Services Directive (PSD2). The revised Directive came into force in 2016 but will not take effect until national laws across the EU implement it. These national laws must be in force by 13 January 2018.
The move is designed to improve competition in the market. It is seen as a chance for innovators to disrupt existing markets dominated by banks, but also for banks to revolutionise the services they offer and strengthen the way they engage with customers.
Regulatory intervention has been necessary as, despite the opportunities arising for banks, they have been busy dealing with the problems of yesterday and have had to assess their priorities accordingly. Without regulatory intervention, the opportunities on their own may never have been enough to compel change.
The recent global financial crisis spurred a tightening of financial regulation and has forced banks to prepare for a world of 'ringfencing', where their investment arm is kept separate from their retail business, in an effort to avoid the collapse of banks in the future. Banks have been forced to react to new rules on the amount of capital they are required to keep in reserve, as well as other measures designed to protect against future systemic risks.
PSD2 is a further area of regulation to which banks are being asked to adapt. In the UK, those reforms are complemented by a broader shift towards an 'Open Banking' future. The CMA's retail banking review led it to recommending that Open Banking standards be developed to improve competition in personal and business current account markets. These standards only apply to the UK's nine largest banks: RBS, Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC, Santander, Nationwide, Danske, Bank of Ireland and Allied Irish Bank (the CMA9). The scope of the Open Banking reforms in the UK has been expanded to mirror that of PSD2.
The CMA9 must have the standards, which include a new 'read-only data standard' and a 'read/write data standard', in place by 13 January 2018 – the same date that the EU's revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) is due to be implemented.
The CMA-initiated order requires the common standards to be developed using open application programming interfaces (APIs) and conform to standards on data formatting and security, including for authorisation and authentication. These in turn enable the CMA9 to share data with other providers, and with third party service providers including: price comparison websites, account information service providers (AISPs) and payment initiation service providers (PISPs)
From the CMA's perspective, Open Banking is of course not simply about enabling innovation for innovation's sake. The CMA's Retail banking market investigation, published in August 2016, found that the four largest banks in the UK accounted for over 70% of main personal current accounts and over 80% of business current accounts. Open Banking was deemed a remedy needed to boost competition amongst retail banks.
Current picture
PSD2 is aimed at opening up the payments market in the EU to innovative new services. Banks and other payment service providers (PSPs) will be required to provide access to payment account information of their customers to approved PISPs and AISPs at the request of those customers on a non-discriminatory basis. Only in select cases, such as where banks suspect a fraud risk, for example, can that access be denied.
Access will happen through secure channels and, in time, in accordance with new regulatory technical standards that are still being developed.
In order for PISPs and AISPs to benefit from the new rights of access to payment accounts information, they will be subject to regulation for the first time. Particular obligations arise in the area of data security which are additional to the new requirements and broader focus on data protection introduced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Once regulated, PISPs and AISPs can apply to be (white)listed on the 'Open Banking Directory'. This Directory is the key architectural component that enables regulated participants to enrol with Open Banking and initiate interactions with each other through APIs. At its core, the Directory is an identity and access management service providing identity information and security certificates to authorised users of Open Banking. These security measures are designed to ensure the integrity of the service providers and protect customers.
Future impact
The new world under PSD2 and Open Banking offers a myriad of opportunities.
For banks, there are opportunities for those that embrace Open Banking to expand on the range of services they offer in the payments space. Banks start from a position of strength, with the largest share of the market and existing customer relationships. In addition, banks benefit from greater trust among consumers on issues such as data security and business viability, having had the opportunity to gain their confidence in safeguarding their money over significant periods of time.
For innovators, whether fintech business, large technology company or other disruptive force, there is a chance to get a better foothold in various existing, new and previously inaccessible banking markets.
Using new rights of access to bank account and transaction data and combining this with the opportunity to collaborate with the existing financial services players and other new entrants to the market, including retailers, utility providers and technology companies, could provide important insights on consumers' and business customers' financial lives, giving them the power to make informed financial decisions.
The possibilities are almost endless, and it will be fascinating to see how the market develops.

Concept: Mauritius
Archaean zircons in Miocene oceanic hotspot rocks establish ancient continental crust beneath Mauritius
- Nature communications
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
A fragment of continental crust has been postulated to underlie the young plume-related lavas of the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius based on the recovery of Proterozoic zircons from basaltic beach sands. Here we document the first U-Pb zircon ages recovered directly from 5.7 Ma Mauritian trachytic rocks. We identified concordant Archaean xenocrystic zircons ranging in age between 2.5 and 3.0 Ga within a trachyte plug that crosscuts Older Series plume-related basalts of Mauritius. Our results demonstrate the existence of ancient continental crust beneath Mauritius; based on the entire spectrum of U-Pb ages for old Mauritian zircons, we demonstrate that this ancient crust is of central-east Madagascar affinity, which is presently located ∼700 km west of Mauritius. This makes possible a detailed reconstruction of Mauritius and other Mauritian continental fragments, which once formed part of the ancient nucleus of Madagascar and southern India.
Bone histology sheds new light on the ecology of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus, Aves, Columbiformes)
- Scientific reports
- Published almost 3 years ago
- Discuss
The dodo, Raphus cucullatus, a flightless pigeon endemic to Mauritius, became extinct during the 17(th) century due to anthropogenic activities. Although it was contemporaneous with humans for almost a century, little was recorded about its ecology. Here we present new aspects of the life history of the dodo based on our analysis of its bone histology. We propose that the dodo bred around August and that the rapid growth of the chicks enabled them to reach a robust size before the austral summer or cyclone season. Histological evidence of molting suggests that after summer had passed, molt began in the adults that had just bred; the timing of molt derived from bone histology is also corroborated by historical descriptions of the dodo by mariners. This research represents the only bone histology analysis of the dodo and provides an unprecedented insight into the life history of this iconic bird.
Population and Landscape Genetics of an Introduced Species (M. fascicularis) on the Island of Mauritius
The cynomolgus macaque, Macaca fascicularis, was introduced onto the island of Mauritius in the early 17(th) century. The species experienced explosive population growth, and currently exists at high population densities. Anecdotes collected from nonhuman primate trappers on the island of Mauritius allege that animals from the northern portion of the island are larger in body size than and superior in condition to their conspecifics in the south. Although previous genetic studies have reported Mauritian cynomolgus macaques to be panmictic, the individuals included in these studies were either from the southern/central or an unknown portion of the island. In this study, we sampled individuals broadly throughout the entire island of Mauritius and used spatial principle component analysis to measure the fine-scale correlation between geographic and genetic distance in this population. A stronger correlation between geographic and genetic distance was found among animals in the north than in those in the southern and central portions of the island. We found no difference in body weight between the two groups, despite anecdotal evidence to the contrary. We hypothesize that the increased genetic structure among populations in the north is related to a reduction in dispersal distance brought about by human habitation and tourist infrastructure, but too recent to have produced true genetic differentiation.
Single origin of the Mascarene stick insects: ancient radiation on sunken islands?
- BMC evolutionary biology
- Published almost 5 years ago
- Discuss
The study of islands as model systems plays a key role in understanding many evolutionary processes. Knowledge of the historical events leading to present-day island communities is pivotal for exploring fundamental mechanisms of speciation and adaptation. The remote Mascarene archipelago (Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues), considered to be the product of an age-progressive trend of north-to-south volcanic activity in the Indian Ocean, hosts a remarkably diverse, endemic and threatened concentration of flora and fauna that has traditionally been considered to be biogeographically related to Madagascar and Africa. To explore the evolutionary diversity of the Mascarene stick insects (Phasmatodea), we constructed a global phylogeny from approximately 2.4 kb of mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data of more than 120 species representing all major phasmatodean lineages.
Neither slim nor fat: estimating the mass of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus, Aves, Columbiformes) based on the largest sample of dodo bones to date
The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) might be the most enigmatic bird of all times. It is, therefore, highly remarkable that no consensus has yet been reached on its body mass; previous scientific estimates of its mass vary by more than 100%. Until now, the vast amount of bones stored at the Natural History Museum in Mauritius has not yet been studied morphometrically nor in relation to body mass. Here, a new estimate of the dodo's mass is presented based on the largest sample of dodo femora ever measured (n = 174). In order to do this, we have used the regression method and chosen our variables based on biological, mathematical and physical arguments. The results indicate that the mean mass of the dodo was circa 12 kg, which is approximately five times as heavy as the largest living Columbidae (pigeons and doves), the clade to which the dodo belongs.
The diversity and biogeography of Western Indian ocean reef-building corals.
This study assesses the biogeographic classification of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) on the basis of the species diversity and distribution of reef-building corals. Twenty one locations were sampled between 2002 and 2011. Presence/absence of scleractinian corals was noted on SCUBA, with the aid of underwater digital photographs and reference publications for species identification. Sampling effort varied from 7 to 37 samples per location, with 15 to 45 minutes per dive allocated to species observations, depending on the logistics on each trip. Species presence/absence was analyzed using the Bray-Curtis similarity coefficient, followed by cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling. Total (asymptotic) species number per location was estimated using the Michaelis-Menten equation. Three hundred and sixty nine coral species were named with stable identifications and used for analysis. At the location level, estimated maximum species richness ranged from 297 (Nacala, Mozambique) to 174 (Farquhar, Seychelles). Locations in the northern Mozambique Channel had the highest diversity and similarity, forming a core region defined by its unique oceanography of variable meso-scale eddies that confer high connectivity within this region. A distinction between mainland and island fauna was not found; instead, diversity decreased radially from the northern Mozambique Channel. The Chagos archipelago was closely related to the northern Mozambique Channel region, and analysis of hard coral data in the IUCN Red List found Chagos to be more closely related to the WIO than to the Maldives, India and Sri Lanka. Diversity patterns were consistent with primary oceanographic drivers in the WIO, reflecting inflow of the South Equatorial Current, maintenance of high diversity in the northern Mozambique Channel, and export from this central region to the north and south, and to the Seychelles and Mascarene islands.
Leptospirosis in the western Indian Ocean islands: what is known so far?
- Veterinary research
- Published almost 7 years ago
- Discuss
In the past decade, leptospirosis has emerged as a major zoonosis with a worldwide distribution. The disease is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. The western Indian Ocean includes more than one hundred tropical or subequatorial islands where leptospirosis constitutes a major public health problem. The clinical signs of the human disease are generally similar to an influenza-like syndrome, but acute forms of the disease are reported and mortality remains significant in this region. In animals, clinical forms are mainly asymptomatic but leptospirosis reduces the fertility of livestock, resulting in economic losses. The data available about human and animal leptospirosis in the western Indian Ocean islands are diverse: human leptospirosis has been extensively studied in Reunion Island, Mayotte, and the Seychelles, whereas the human clinical disease has never been described in Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius, or Rodrigues, mainly because of the deficiency in appropriate medical and diagnostic structures. The rat is recognized as the major reservoir host for the bacteria on all islands, but recent data from Reunion Island indicates that almost all mammals can be a source of contamination. The incidence of leptospirosis in humans is highly seasonal, and linked to the rainy season, which is favorable for the environmental maintenance and transmission of the bacteria. The epidemiology of leptospirosis is fully island-dependent, related to the number of mammalian species, the origins of the introduced mammalian species, the relationships between humans and fauna, and environmental as well as cultural and socio-economic factors.
High diversity, high insular endemism and recent origin in the lichen genus Sticta (lichenized Ascomycota, Peltigerales) in Madagascar and the Mascarenes
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Lichen biodiversity and its generative evolutionary processes are practically unknown in the MIOI1 biodiversity hotspot (including Madagascar and the neighboring Mascarene archipelago, formed by Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues). We sought to test the hypothesis that lichenized fungi in this region have undergone a rapid radiation, following a single colonization event, giving rise to narrow endemics, as is characteristic of other lineages of plants. We extensively sampled specimens of the lichen genus Sticta in the Mascarene archipelago (mainly Réunion) and in Madagascar, mainly in the northern range (Amber Mt and Marojejy Mt) and produced the fungal ITS barcode sequence for 148 thalli. We further produced a four-loci data matrix for 68 of them, representing the diversity and geographical distribution of ITS haplotypes. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships within this group, established species boundaries with morphological context, and estimated the date of the most recent common ancestor. Our inferences resolve a robust clade comprising 31 endemic species of Sticta that arose from the diversification following a single recent (c. 11 Mya) colonization event. All but three species have a very restricted range, endemic to either the Mascarene archipelago or a single massif in Madagascar. The first genus of lichens to be studied with molecular data in this region underwent a recent radiation, exhibits micro-endemism, and thus exemplifies the biodiversity characteristics found in other taxa in Madagascar and the Mascarenes.
Genetic diversity and differentiation among insular honey bee populations in the southwest Indian Ocean likely reflect old geographical isolation and modern introductions
With globalization the Western honey bee has become a nearly cosmopolitan species, but it was originally restricted to the Old World. This renowned model of biodiversity has diverged into five evolutionary lineages and several geographic "subspecies." If Apis mellifera unicolor is indubitably an African subspecies endemic to Madagascar, its relationship with honey bees from three archipelagos in the southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) hotspot of biodiversity is misunderstood. We compared recent mtDNA diversity data to an original characterization of the nuclear diversity from honey bees in the Mascarenes and Comoros archipelagos, using 14 microsatellites, but also additional mtDNA tRNALeu-cox2 analysis. Our sampling offers the most comprehensive dataset for the SWIO populations with a total of 3,270 colonies from 10 islands compared with 855 samples from Madagascar, 113 from Africa, and 138 from Europe. Comprehensive mitochondrial screening confirmed that honey bees from La Réunion, Mauritius, and Comoros archipelagos are mainly of African origin (88.1% out of 2,746 colonies) and that coexistence with European lineages occurs only in the Mascarenes. PCA, Bayesian, and genetic differentiation analysis showed that African colonies are not significantly distinct on each island, but have diversified among islands and archipelagos. FST levels progressively decreased in significance from European and African continental populations, to SWIO insular and continental populations, and finally among islands from the same archipelago. Among African populations, Madagascar shared a nuclear background with and was most closely related to SWIO island populations (except Rodrigues). Only Mauritius Island presented clear cytoplasmic disequilibrium and genetic structure characteristic of an admixed population undergoing hybridization, in this case, between A. m. unicolor and A. m. ligustica, A. m. carnica and A. m. mellifera-like individuals. Finally, global genetic clustering analysis helped to better depict the colonization and introduction pattern of honey bee populations in these archipelagos.
Autosomal and mitochondrial adaptation following admixture: a case study on the honeybees of Reunion Island
- Genome biology and evolution
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
The honeybee population of the tropical Reunion Island is a genetic admixture of the Apis mellifera unicolor subspecies, originally described in Madagascar, and of European subspecies, mainly A.m. carnica and A. m. ligustica, regularly imported to the island since the late 19th century. We took advantage of this population to study genetic admixing of the tropical-adapted indigenous and temperate-adapted European genetic backgrounds. Whole genome sequencing of 30 workers and 6 males from Reunion, compared to samples from Europe, Madagascar, Mauritius, Rodrigues and the Seychelles, revealed the Reunion honeybee population to be composed on average of 53.2 ± 5.9% A. m. unicolor nuclear genomic background, the rest being mainly composed of A. m. carnica and to a lesser extent A. m. ligustica. In striking contrast to this, only one out of the 36 honeybees from Reunion had a mitochondrial genome of European origin, suggesting selection has favoured the A. m. unicolor mitotype, which is possibly better adapted to the island's bioclimate. Local ancestry was determined along the chromosomes for all Reunion samples, and a test for preferential selection for the A. m. unicolor or European background revealed 15 regions significantly associated with the A. m. unicolor lineage and 9 regions with the European lineage. Our results provide insights into the long-term consequences of introducing exotic specimen on the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of locally-adapted populations.

How to transform your class in an interactive experience?
Education will never disappear, it will just transform itself
It is a fact that technology is rapidly changing the world around us. Therefore, people might be worried that it will replace the human factor in many areas. Education is not an exception: it also has to face new challenges that have appeared with the disruptive digital revolution. But even if technology might take over some tasks and abilities that students have been taught for decades, educators will always be needed. The teaching process just needs to adapt itself to the new digital world.
Today, the next big change coming in the classroom is to make students experience their learning. The more a student gets involved, the more he or she will be prone to learn. The Generation Z, also known as the iGeneration, lives new experiences all the time through games, apps, websites etc. They come across these everywhere outside the classroom. As a result, if you want to attract the attentionof students during a lecture, you definitely should immerse them into an interactive environment.
Prepare your class experience carefully
When you prepare your class, don't hesitate to take your time. It needs a different organization. First, you must have a macro vision of what you want to bring to your students in order to find the micro elementsthat will allow those changes. The world that you are going to create will have its own vocabulary, its own universe and features. Never lose sight of your pedagogic goal and the relevancy of your interactions: who interacts with who and why?
Rethink the interactions
Interactions keep students motivated and give a rhythm to your way of teaching. Nevertheless, do not hesitate to try out new things and think of a new vision of the interaction. Bringing gamification into your classroom engages and involves students. For example you can organize a competition at the end of your class with a reward for the winner. It is not just bringing debates, it should be thoughtfully prepared and original; you need to give it time and dedication if you want it to work.
Reorganize your classroom
You might have to change the way your classroom is organized. Don't hesitate to disrupt the usual entities of a class. One teacher in front a group of students is no longer optimal. Try out bringing two, three or more people together, put yourself out of your role of teacher or bring even other classes to your session. Don't hesitate to rethink the place in a physical and a digital way to create a good atmosphere. By doing so, the vertical student-teacher relationship will also change and you might learn some things from your students yourself !
Choose project-based learning
Project-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy. It implies a dynamic classroom in which students acquire a knowledge that goes deeper thanks to an active exploration of real-world issues and challenges. It is different from what has existed for the last couple of years. In addition to academic skills, it allows them to work on their soft skills and their autonomy. Transversal skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, questioning and responsibility will also be enhanced.
Try and go digital
30 years ago, students got all their information from encyclopaedias, dictionaries and libraries and they were used to learn inside a classroom. Education has been a one-size-fits-all model; audio, visual and hands-on learners have been obliged to try and learn in ways that didn't always fit what they needed.
Today, they can download an eBook or search for any topic on the Internet. Technology is opening up the world of education. More collaboration between people from all around the world is an opportunity, not a threat. Technology makes tailoring your way of teaching possible.Shake up your training sessions !

DIY Canna-oil: Use Your Favourite Strains To Make Your Own Cannabis Oil!
With advances in legislation and improved access for patients, there are many ways to use your medical cannabis to manage your symptoms and condition. In addition to vaporizing, patients are also using cannabis oils which can be ingested directly "as is", used to make edibles, or applied topically.
While patients now have access to long-lasting symptom relief by purchasing cannabis oils from a Licensed Producer, some are still choosing to make their own canna-oil.
For some patients, taking a more active role in their health can promote a sense of empowerment and autonomy. In addition, the desire to make their own canna oils comes from limited varieties of oils offered by Licensed Producers. While Licensed Producers offer oils high in THC, CBD, or an equal ratio of both, most do not offer the same variety of oils as they do dried cannabis products.
So, if you've found the ideal strains to help manage your condition and symptoms, why not turn them into your very own canna oil?
Follow these simple steps and you'll be using your favourite strains in their oil forms in no time!
Duration: 4-6 hours
Prep time: 45 minutes
- Dried cannabis product
- Oil of your choosing (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.)
- Cookie Sheet
- Aluminum foil
- Cheese cloth
- String
- Slow cooker
Step 1: Decarboxylate your medical cannabis
Begin by preheating your oven to 240 F.
Next, fully cover the cookie sheet with aluminium foil. Grind the desired amount of cannabis dried product and evenly spread the ground cannabis over the cookie sheet. Cover the entirety of the cookie sheet with another layer of aluminum foil and place in the oven.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Once the 30 minutes are up, remove the cookie sheet from the oven and set aside to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 2: Make your own makeshift cheese cloth "tea bag"
Remove the top layer of the aluminum foil to reveal the decarboxylated dried cannabis product. Your product should be brownish in colour, or a slightly darker green, depending on the starting colour of the strain type.
Transfer the decarboxylated product over to a small-medium size of cheese cloth (you may want to do a double layer of cheese cloth to ensure there is no loose cannabis in your final product). Gather the ends of the cheese cloth and tie the ends together using the string. You want to make sure that the cannabis product has room to breathe, but that the makeshift cheese cloth "tea bag" is tightly sealed.
Step 3: Infuse your oil of choice with the decarboxylated cannabis
Add your oil of choice to the slow cooker and turn the heat setting to low. Add the cannabis cheese cloth "tea bag" to the oil. Make sure the "tea bag" is fully submerged in the oil itself.
Cover and let cook for 4-6 hours.
An alternative method for infusing:
If you do not wish to infuse the oil by using the cheese cloth "tea bag" method, you may combine the decarboxylated cannabis with the oil directly. Upon completion of the cooking and cooling process, use the cheese cloth to strain the oil.
Step 4: Store and use
Once the slow cooker and oil have cooled, remove the "tea bag" from the oil and squeeze all of the oil out of it and into the remaining oil in the slow cooker. Transfer the canna oil into a storage container and get ready to incorporate this long-acting method into your medication regimen!
Cannabis oil can be used in salads, baking, or just something that you take under your tongue. Not to mention, it's extremely easy to store. Just put it in a bottle and keep it in your pantry. If you live with children or teenagers, and want to keep your cannabis use to a minimum in their presence, it can be an ideal way to keep it away from their reach and conceal its use.
A note about dosing
Dosing remains highly individualized. Because your own canna oil will not undergo laboratory testing to determine the content of THC and CBD, it is important to "start low and go slow". Determining your optimal dose requires careful consideration and guidance from a healthcare professional. It is best to consult with your GrowWise Health Patient Educator or healthcare provider in order to determine the dose best suited for you.

DAMMER, Richard, of Shoreham, Suss.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
Offices Held
Coroner, Suss. by Apr. 1428-c. June 1440.1
Controller of customs and subsidies, Chichester 5 July 1447-Apr. 1453.
Dammer was party to the Sussex electoral indentures drawn up at the shire court at Chichester for the Parliaments of 1414 (Nov.), 1419, 1421 (May), 1426, 1429, 1431, 1432, 1433, 1437 and 1442. There were Dammers living at Bramber in this period, but it seems likely that Richard himself resided throughout just a few miles away at Shoreham. Certainly, in January 1432 he witnessed a deed at Old Shoreham, and in November that year he appraised a ship in Shoreham harbour laden with cloth and salt subject to forfeiture to the Crown through smuggling. His property there included a moiety of a messuage, a shop and 42 acres of land, all of which were confirmed in his possession in the early 1440s, after he had bought out the interest of the Fromonds of Winchester in the same.2
To judge from certain aspects of his career, Dammer may have been a lawyer by profession. He often acted for others as a trustee of their landed holdings in Sussex, doing so, for instance, in 1421 for John Hallere in his premises at Sidlesham. In October 1426 he went surety at the Exchequer for Walter Urry*, the lessee of property at West Hoathly. He was at some time in the service of Reynold, Lord West, for whom he took oath in Chancery in about January 1434 that a consignment of wine landed at Chichester was intended solely for the use of West's own household, so that the customers would be ordered to let it pass free of duty. Another client was Ralph Rademylde*, on whose behalf, as a feoffee of his estates, Dammer presented to East Hoathly rectory in 1438 and 1442.3 For many years Dammer served as a coroner in Sussex, officiating in the rapes of Lewes and Pevensey. He was said to be 'too sick and aged' for the post in November 1433, but his illness cannot have been chronic nor his age extreme, for nearly seven years later (June 1440) he was again the cause of a writ de coronatore eligendo, this time because he lived in the 'remotest part of Sussex', meaning that whereas he acted as a coroner in the eastern rapes, his lands were in the western rapes of Chichester and Bramber.4 Nevertheless, Dammer's service to the Crown was not over, for he went on to hold office as controller of customs at Chichester for almost six years.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 7, 2019 – New championship, new beer: After the incredible success of Falls City Brewing Co.'s Louisville City Golden Ale in stores and taps around the city and the incredible success of Louisville City on the pitch, Falls City and Louisville City Football Club have teamed up again in 2019.
"We're thrilled once again to be partnering with our hometown squad," Falls City Brewing Co. Marketing Manager Brian U'Sellis said. "The excitement coming off a second USL cup allowed us to not only redesign the can to add a second star, but also gave us the opportunity to tweak the recipe just a bit. We love being able to collaborate with the team and help them grow in any way we can."
Louisville City and Falls City will celebrate the new brew – and its newly launched cans with two-stars on the logo signifying Louisville City's two USL Cup wins – at a kickoff party at Falls City Taproom on Wednesday, March 20.
"Our partnership with Falls City has been great," Louisville City FC President Brad Estes said. "And it's great to see that second star on the can and we hope the new Golden Ale will be a part of many post-match celebrations this season."
Fans are invited to join Louisville City coach John Hackworth and other Lou City personalities at the taproom March 20 for beer and bracketology as Louisville City will be gearing up for its first home game vs. Hartford Athletic on March 23 at Slugger Field. Fans can pick up new two-star Louisville City gear and new Falls City "Beer, Soccer, Louisville" t-shirts at the event. The event will also be fans' first chance to see the new 2018 USL Cup Championship rings.
Beginning next week fans can find the beer on tap and in 6-packs to go at Falls City Brewing Co.'s Taproom, at 901 E. Liberty Street in NuLu, and in stores and select bars and restaurants around the Louisville region.
Louisville City Golden Ale is brewed with rye malt and citrus hops and is a light, easy-drinking brew perfect for a summer cookout or a pre-match tailgate. The beer joins a lineup of Falls City Brewing Co. beverages that include their Classic Pilsner, English Style Pale Ale, Hipster Repellant IPA, and Streetlamp Porter.
The new Golden Ale will also be available all season during Louisville City home games at Slugger Field.

I can't take any credit for this recipe as it came from the new Simply Nigella book. However I feel that when you have baked the same cookies three times in three days then they are definitely worth a mention.
These are flourless cookies and they rely on the peanut butter as the hard base. They take about 5 minutes maximum to whip up and then 10 minutes to bake and if they are lucky the cookies will be able to cool before they are eaten. As my gestational diabetes restricts me from sugary treats I gave this one a go to see how it would affect my blood sugars. So far nothing alarming has happened and this has proved to be a guilt free treat that I can allow myself every now and then.
My only issue is that I have to fight off Harry and Isla to get one and a batch of eight cookies has never lived on to see the next day. If you want to pretend you're a good baker and impress some friends then I strongly recommend these or if you just have a taste for peanut butter and chocolate then this is your recipe. Do you have any guilt free treats?
