Welcome to the USS Lantau!
Hello and welcome to the USS Lantau!
On behalf of the crew, I want to welcome you to our website and I hope you enjoy checking out what we have to offer. If you are interested in being a member of our crew and write great mission posts in what we all hope are exciting missions, then all you need to do is fill out one of our application forms and the command staff will get back to you. We encourage all players, regardless of simming experience to our simulation, the command staff and the players already on board are all here to help and support each other.
Our simulation is built on four core values. Family, Teamwork, Quality and Friendship. We here on the Lantau feel that these are important to our simulation and important to what we do here, after all we are a family. We aren't here to play power games or make our characters Gods, we are here for the pure desire of writing amazing Star Trek stories. We all work together and support each other in the team, guiding those that need some extra help and celebrating the successes of the whole team, no matter how small. We believe in quality over quantity, quality stories and posts rather than competing for who has the most posts over a whole month and most of all, we show and give each of our members the respect that they deserve, and we ensure that we do that all with a smile on our face.
Our StoryWith the simulation set in 2392, the USS Lantau is set two decades after the end of the Dominion War, peace between all sides was been maintained in the time since; and the Federation has undergone a massive rebuilding process and have emerged as the strongest leading presence in the alpha and beta quadrants. With the dust settled and peace restored, Starfleet has begun to shift their focus back to their original mission of exploration.
There is no knowing where we will go with our missions, that is all up to our wonderful players and what they write will lead us to whether our missions are a success or a failure. It is our job to make sure that the ideals of Starfleet in exploring new worlds, seeking our new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where nobody has gone before is kept alive.
Starfleet has decided to expand into unknown territories, mainly the Delta Quadrant. After the return of the USS Voyager in the year 2377 from their seven year time in the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet has been working on a specialized fleet to further explore the Delta Quadrant.

Welcome back from the Holiday Break. Hope everyone has enjoyed their time off.
To get everyone up to speed, Here is where we are currently with our mission.
* We have found the USS Clip and have discovered that the Borg or an off brand of the Borg have assimilated some or all of its crew.
* After looking through the Clip's Logs and Captain's Logs we have found the ship that may have attacked the Clip and its crew.
* The Lantau has caught up with an unidentified ship (at the time of discovery) only to find out that it is a Borg ship.
*The so called head Borg Quirelis has demanded our surrender.
* And Last but not least, our Chief Intelligence Officer Commander Kerr is getting ready to beam over to the Borg ship to hopefully deploy a virus that will disable the Borg.
Now we will start our Massive JP with Commander Kerr beaming to the Borg ship.
Happy Posting.

Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, is our bridge to God.
He is our Advocator who loves us and is interested in us.
He is God's love for us.
He redeems us from sins and death.
I John 2:1-5
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.

Somehow 'via' word made me think it is like a bridge. It is the bridge of words. It connects two words. In dictionary, via means
- By a route that touches or passes through; by way of: to fly to Japan via the North Pole.
- By the agency or instrumentality of: a solution via an inquiry.
- Architecture . a space between two mutules.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Words from the base of the Statue of Liberty. Many liberals these days like to quote those words. That's fine, but then they tell us that if we don't unquestionably accept the people that come to our southern border, that we are no longer living by those words and therefore we should remove them from the statue. That's called revisionist history.
See, I don't agree. Anyone surprised by that? Well, they never go on to say that all those people that came into the country back in the day didn't just flood into the country with no checks or controls. They came in through Ellis Island in the New York Harbor and earlier through Castle Garden depot near the tip of Manhattan. Asians came through Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco Bay.
There they were, all carrying papers that were checked, interrogated, examined for diseases, and other things required by the U.S. at that time. If they didn't have correct papers or had certain diseases, they were either sent back to where they came from or were held until the diseases were treated and/or the correct papers arrived.
In those days immigrants came into the country legally and only after meeting all the requirements of the government. They didn't just come into the country only to disappear into the population, never to be seen again.
So, when you hear people quoting those words on the Statue of Liberty as a way of knocking our president's efforts to put some controls on our border, you just might want to remember the above facts and remind them of those facts.

About This Chapter
GED Math: Data, Probability & Statistics - Chapter Summary
If you haven't reviewed information on probability and statistics to prepare for the GED math exam, look no further. This chapter covers everything you need to know in order to successfully complete this portion of the exam. The short lessons will prepare you to answer questions in regards to:
- Difference between tables, pictographs, line graphs, bar graphs and circle graphs
- Examples of data sets
- Ways to interpret information in graphs and plots
- Formula used to calculate the weighted average
- Difference between simple, compound and complementary events
- Independent vs. dependent events
- Problems using permutation and combination
The subjects of probability and statistics can be tricky ones to understand. Our instructors teach these lessons in a way that is not only informative but also easy for you to understand. If you find yourself struggling to retain the material or you have any questions, our instructors are available to address any of your concerns, making you more confident on test day.
1. Understanding Data Presented in Tables & Graphs
Data is often presented in tables and graphs to make it easier to understand and interpret. In this lesson, you will learn about several types of tables and graphs, and develop the skills needed to understand them.
2. Data Set in Math: Definition & Examples
In this lesson, learn about data sets and how to use the operations of mean, median, and mode to manipulate the data. Then, test your knowledge with a brief quiz.
3. Central Tendency: Dot Plots, Histograms & Box Plots
To quickly visualize and categorize groups of data, we can use graphical representations like dot plots, histograms, and box plots. In this lesson, you will learn how to create and interpret these important graphs.
4. Calculating Weighted Average: Method, Formula & Example
This lesson will examine the concept of a weighted average and types of situations when it should be used instead of a standard average. It will also give some real-world examples of a weighted average.
5. Probability of Simple, Compound and Complementary Events
Simple, compound, and complementary events are different types of probabilities. Each of these probabilities are calculated in a slightly different fashion. In this lesson, we will look at some real world examples of these different forms of probability.
6. Probability of Independent and Dependent Events
Sometimes probabilities need to be calculated when more than one event occurs. These types of compound events are called independent and dependent events. Through this lesson, we will look at some real-world examples of how to calculate these probabilities.
7. Permutation & Combination: Problems & Practice
In this lesson, we will practice solving various permutation and combination problems using permutation and combination formulas. We can continue our practice when we take a quiz at the end of the lesson.

When you are forced to sell your home abroad, it can feel like letting go of a dream, and moving back home can be a challenge.While it's easy to bury your head in the sand, it's important to try and remain positive, so check out our tips on how to overcome the loss of your holiday home.
There's no point in dwelling on things that can't be changed, so when it comes to the loss of your home abroad, try not to spend too much time obsessing over what you're missing out on and instead keep busy with things that you enjoy and make you feel happy. This could be meeting friends or going to the gym, but whatever it is, try to keep your mind from running away with you.
If you've been forced to sell your home abroad because of financial complications, one of the best ways that you can make yourself feel better is to make a financial plan and stick to it. Whether this is to save some money each month or contribute to paying off loans, having an idea mapped out of what you need to do is going to make you feel much more proactive.
Just because you have lost your home abroad, that doesn't mean that you have to let go of all the good times you had and the fun things that you got up to. If you had traditions or things that you would do frequently in your holiday home, why not continue doing them back in your UK residence? Of course, some things won't be possible, but if it was having a cooked breakfast every Sunday, eating outside a few times a week or having a games nights on the weekend with your friends, these things can easily be continued wherever you are.
The attraction of purchasing a holiday home was being able to relax and enjoy a warmer climate, so why not continue doing this by going away every once in a while? It doesn't have to be a big, expensive holiday, even just a long weekend in a sunnier part of the UK will perk you up.
When you buy a property abroad, you need to remember that it is a big step, so always approach the situation in a cautious and informed way.Before you sign any paperwork or start packing your bags, check out this guide to ensure that you avoid these common mistakes overseas buyers often make.
Of course, one of the biggest challenges that you will face when you buy a property abroad is the language barrier. When it comes to contracts, never sign something that you don't understand. You should receive two copies of contracts, one in English, the other in the native language of the country that you are purchasing in. Have your translator look at them both to be sure that what is said is the same in each of the two before you put pen to paper.
While you may think you have it all sussed out when it comes to purchasing property, things can vary greatly when you buy a property abroad, so to avoid landing yourself in a troublesome situation you should always seek out the help of professionals. Consult solicitors, surveyors, and architects who will be able to give you thorough advice and answer all of your questions. In Spain for example, it's customary for some debts to be passed to the homeowner so a special search will need to be done to verify you aren't buying someone else's unpaid bills.
If you are buying from a developer, it's crucial that you find out about their track record and how long they have been trading for before you go on with a purchase. It may also be useful to see some references from previous buyers, so ask if these are available. Obtaining all of this information will give you a clear indication of how reliable this developer is and whether or not you should invest in their property.
It's true what they say, location is the most important factor when it comes to choosing a property, so make sure you give it a lot of thought before you decide where you're going to move. If you're planning on having visitors, you might want to think about how far the nearest airport it. You'll also need to consider how close schools and other local facilities are if you have children.

The Battle of Comfort
"Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity…" Hebrews 6:1 (NIV)
I love being comfortable and this verse sounds a little bit uncomfortable to me. What I read in this scripture is, "let's take you out of your comfort zone and move into a place of unfamiliarity -something a little less cozy."
I can wake up and get out of my pj's, into my workout clothes, and then into my yoga pants. Jeans are dressing up for me. I love to be comfortable. So, when it's time for me to step out into new territory…I get nervous and uncomfortable. I don't like to be uncomfortable but God likes it. He likes it when I get uncomfortable because that means I took a step forward.
An opportunity came up and I immediately got excited! YES…this is what I have wanted for three years now!! I took a step forward and then stopped. I started to sweat, get nervous, think of all the reasons I should not do it, and immediately turned back towards my comfy zone. What am I thinking…I can't do it? My safety zone is over here…it's good here. I don't need to go there. Over there looks - uncomfortable. But, at the same time – it is what I've wanted to do and after three times of filling out the paperwork only to delete it – I finally decided to hit send on the fourth time.
He knows my heart and He knows this situation. Remember – it's something that I have wanted for 3 years. I believe that God decides when we are ready – not when we feel like we are ready. Three years ago, maybe I wasn't ready or prepared for the battle that would come. Because the enemy will try to interrupt and scare me before I get to where I need to go. But in spite of my fear – I'm ready to step out in faith. In those three years I have grown more in my faith and in my relationship with God. This has better prepared me for those interruptions that will come.
After I finished with the forms…I picked up my Bible and went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and to sit with Him. I open up His word and He points me to Hebrews 6:1. This is where I land - "Therefore, Michelle, let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity…" So I started to dig a little deeper…this verse had me cross reference to a few others and each one answering all of my questions and diminishing my doubts.
"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. ~Phil 3:12-14 (NIV)
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! ~Hebrews 5:12 (NIV)
Verse after verse is conformation of what I need to do and more importantly, do what He wants me to do. I know that the enemy is going to bring fear to try and stop me but I also know that God is with me and if I stay in His Word, knowing when to move forward and when to pause, then I will be ready for the attack.
God is not weak and small. He says, "I'm right here, I'm with you, I will never leave you. So be ready and be uncomfortable, take your step with boldness because I did not give you a spirit of fear but of love, power and of sound mind."
Faith without works is dead. – James 2:17.
"When we feed our faith we starve our doubt."
~Christine Caine
~Christine Caine
I have had a desire to move forward and I have had fear move in, but by staying close to Him and listening for Him, I heard Him loud and clear. It is in the obedience that we will see Him. He is with me every step of the way. I just need to get out of my own way and keep putting one foot in front of the other and step into my calling that God as has given me. (read Joshua 1)
So, I'm expecting resistance and I'm digging deeper in His Word and I'm going to embrace the fear. I don't know where this will all lead – but if I stay obedient to Him – He will show me and it will all work out for His glory.
Is fear stopping you? Are you afraid to get uncomfortable? It is a battle, for sure – but a battle worth fighting - especially with Him on your side. Take your first step into what God is calling you to do.
"Faith in God doesn't erase fear, anxiety, and confusion – it just overcomes them."
~Jen Hatmaker

4 bit DIP's for addresses on the boards with processors,
You could probably eliminate the DIP switches on the boards that have processors by having some sort of protocol to "set your I2C address" (which would then be remembered in EEPROM). (eg. do a broadcast to address 0 telling chip x to set its I2C address to Y).
Just thinking... PLC's get their module address based on the position they are on the backplane.

Crime-Master is the secondary antagonist in the second Spider-Man Noir volume. He is very different from his mainstream counterpart and is also far more evil than the likes of the normal Crime Master.
The Crime Master was a sadistic, ruthless, and notorious gang boss as well as a KKK affiliate and member of the Friends of New Germany political party. Given his racist connections it was perhaps no surprise that he came to work for Nazi scientist Otto Octavius, kidnapping African Americans off the streets for him and sending them to the doctor in exchange for a profit.
When Spider-Man began to interfere with the pair's operations Crime Master sent the criminal known only as "The Sandman" after him. But though Sandman was able to badly injure Spider-Man the police killed him and Spider-Man escaped with his life. After learning that Felicia Hardy had protected and healed Spider-Man, an enraged Crime Master mutilated her in retaliation.
Afterwards when Spider-Man and the FBI discovered Otto Octavius' lair and sabotaged his operations, Otto decided that Crime Master was a loose end that had outlived his usefulness and savagely murdered him with homicidal glee. Spider-Man, disgusted with them both, allowed Otto to kill him, ignoring Crime Master's pleas for mercy as Otto used his mechanical arms to tear him apart.
This version of the Crime Master is far brutal, cruel, violent, remorseless, aggressive, heartless, and unsympathetic than the original. He is willing to use brute force and intimidation to get his way. He is also a particularly depraved sadist, and takes twisted pleasure on killing, maiming, and torturing his victims.

And they said, Nothing.[ref][com]36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.[ref][com]37For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.[ref][com]38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.[ref][com]39And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.[ref][com]40And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.[ref][com]41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,[ref][com]42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.[ref][com]43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.[ref][com]44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[ref][com]45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,[ref][com]46And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.[ref][com]47And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.[ref][com]48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?[ref][com]49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?[com]50And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.[ref][com]51And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.[ref][com]52Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?[ref][com]53When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.[ref][com]54Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.[ref][com]55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.[ref][com]56But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.[ref][com]57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.[ref][com]58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.[ref][com]59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.[ref][com]60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.[ref][com]61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.[ref][com]62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.[ref][com]63And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.[ref][com]64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?[ref][com]65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.[ref][com]66And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,[ref][com]67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:[ref][com]68And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.[ref][com]69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.[ref][com]70Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.[ref][com]71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.[ref][com]

History of Social Games [Infographic]
Social games aren't new–they're just games you play with other people. Social games began about 5000 years ago. With some help from the team at Disruptor Beam, we've put together a little chart that traces the history of social games from its origins in Ancient Egypt all the way to the present. I'm using the term social network gamesto distinguish the type of social games (Farmtown, etc.) that are primarily played and distributed via social networks.

Video Games Statistics [Infographic]
Video games have become quite popular over the last 30 years, so popular in fact that that fully 65% of American households play video games and this number is growing. Video games are now more portable than ever with handhelds and even phones becoming commonplace for gamers. The term "gamer" to refer to those that play video games is quickly becoming a misnomer because so many people fit this categorically. Let's have a look at some statistics about the proliferation of video games and the distribution of this population segment.
Of that 65% of the US population, 18-49 year olds make up the largest percentage of gamers at 49%. In times past, it was assumed that the gaming population was children under 18 but today they only make up 25%, perhaps more surprising is the fact that there are more people over 50 that play that children at 26%. The average age of a gamer is actually 32 years old. It was also a common stereotype that men predominated in video game consumption but the numbers are now evening out as 2 out of 5 gamers are female. The average Gamer spends about 18 hours a week playing video games.

From a band that really understands what it means to serve in the American military. Watch the whole thing.
A couple of caveats before we proceed.
First, I am overweight. I'm working on it, but things are what they are. If this story makes me a hypocrite, then so be it.
Second, I ride a motorcycle....with all of the additional risks that entails. I always wear a helmet even though I support efforts to repeal our helmet laws so that others can make a different choice.
Third, I generally believe in leaving people alone to make decisions about how to run their lives. I'd prefer not to be judged incapable of running my own life, so I try not to judge the capacity of others to run their lives.
Fourth, I long for the day when robotic implants are as common as candy corn. If that was the case today, then my 1080p HD eyeball camera could have taken a snap shot of this guy that was travelling in the opposite direction across a bridge. And you would be able to see what I saw. I probably would have uploaded the picture to Facebook while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
This one is hard to believe.
There I was riding my bike across a two lane bridge today. Traffic was backed up and I was stopped in the middle of the span. But traffic was moving well in the other direction.
Along comes this guy headed in the other direction. For the moment, why don't we call him "Guy".
Guy weighs an easy 300 lbs. He may weigh closer to 350, but it was hard to know. And it was pretty obvious that he didn't get that heavy going to the gym.
Guy was riding the sort of little scooter that has become popular due to recent gas price increases. I'm pretty sure that he weighed more than his scooter.
Here in Michigan, scooter riders are not required to wear a helmet. So he wasn't. He also only had a thin, Hawaiian style shirt. No coat. He did have some awesome glasses, so at least his eyes were covered.
Guy has trouble breathing. At least, I suspect that he carries some sort of air/oxygen tank with him. He had one of those flexible plastic tubes running from between his legs, up over each ear, and around to his nose. So this isn't a wild inference on my part.
Assuming he was connected to his tank, one might reasonably wonder about the consequences of his tank sliding out from between his feet while he is motoring along. Alternatively, the tank might have been tied tightly to the scooter which opens up the question of what happens if he gets into an accident where is bike goes one direction and his body goes another.
The cherry on top of this modest vignette?
The cigarette dangling from his lips as his scooter went putt-putting on by!!
Even worse, judges have it too! Maybe.
Megan McArdle has the latest on that little tempest in a teapot.
Liberals are probably going to be disposed to believe that Abrahamson and Bradley are pursuing a legitimate grievance against Prosser, a self-admitted hothead who called Abrahamson a "bitch" and threatened to destroy her, and that the conservative justices are covering up for their abusive colleague. Conservatives will be likely to take the view that Bradley is a vengeful self-dramatist who inflates petty conflicts into savage attacks for political purposes.
Frankly, whatever way you look at it, someone has behaved in behavior so extraordinarily unbecoming a justice that I find it difficult to believe either way.
Questionable science aside, my first objection to proposed carbon emission limitations, and other "global warming" associated policies is the behavior of those that stridently urge those policy changes.
It's way past time for Mr. Gore to get religion.But you cannot be a leading environmentalist who hopes to lead the general public into a long and difficult struggle for sacrifice and fundamental change if your own conduct is so flagrantly inconsistent with the green gospel you profess. If the heart of your message is that the peril of climate change is so imminent and so overwhelming that the entire political and social system of the world must change, now, you cannot fly on private jets. You cannot own multiple mansions. You cannot even become enormously rich investing in companies that will profit if the policies you advocate are put into place.
It is not enough to buy carbon offsets (aka "indulgences") with your vast wealth, not enough to power your luxurious mansions with exotic low impact energy sources the average person could not afford, not enough to argue that you only needed the jet so that you could promote your earth-saving film.
You are asking billions of people, the overwhelming majority of whom lack many of the basic life amenities you take for granted, people who can't afford Whole Foods environmentalism, to slash their meager living standards. You may well be right, and those changes may be necessary — the more shame on you that with your superior insight and knowledge you refuse to live a modest life. There's a gospel hymn some people in Tennessee still sing that makes the point: "You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine."
St. Francis of Assisi understood the point well. Taken by the Pope on a tour to see the treasures of the Vatican, St. Francis was notably unimpressed. "Peter can no longer say, 'silver and gold have I none,'" smiled the Pontiff, referring to the story in the Book of Acts that recounts what St. Peter said to a crippled beggar asking him for alms.
"Neither can he say, 'rise up and walk.'" replied St. Francis — quoting what St. Peter said as he miraculously cured the beggar of his affliction.You can sit on ivory chairs with kings in their halls of gold, participating in the world of politics as usual, or you can live with the prophets and visionaries in the wilderness, voices of a greater truth and higher meaning that challenge the smug certainties and false assumptions of the comfortable, business as usual elites. You cannot do both.
Al Gore cannot say "silver and gold have I none and no excess carbon do I spew," and neither can he say to the paralyzed global green movement "rise up and walk." He speaks, he writes, he speaks again, and the movement lies on the ground, crippled and inert.
What this tells the skeptics is that Vice President Gore doesn't really believe the gospel he proclaims. That profits from his environmental advocacy enable his affluent lifestyle only deepens their skepticism of the messenger and therefore of the message. And when they see that the rest of the environmental movement accepts this flagrant contradiction, they conclude, naturally enough, that the other green leaders aren't as worried as they claim to be. Al Gore's lifestyle is a test case for the credibility of his gospel — and it fails. The tolerance of Al Gore's lifestyle by the environmental leadership is a further test — and that test, too, the greens fail.
The average citizen is all too likely to conclude that if Mr. Gore can keep his lifestyle, the average American family can keep its SUV and incandescent bulbs. If Gore can take a charter flight, I don't have to take the bus. If Gore can have many mansions, I can use the old fashioned kind of shower heads that actually clean and toilets that actually flush. Al Gore looks to the average American the way American greens look to poor people in the third world: hypocritically demanding that others accept permanently lower standards of living than those the activists propose for themselves.
If you don't know much about her....or have consumed a few too many of the main stream Palinesque profiles...then this article may be of some use.
I'm not prepared to throw my meager support behind her candidacy. She seems far too comfortable with religious opinion being enforced by the strength of government.
At the same time, she seems prepared to come to a federal government trimming party bearing the proper equipment; a chainsaw rather than tweezers.
Some facts to keep in mind as the controversy over fracking for oil and natural gas continues.

Global Entrepreneurial Management Course
The purpose of this course is to explore the interfaces between and among management, strategy and entrepreneurship in independent, corporate, and non-profit ventures. The focus is on the mastery of competencies that foster innovation and growth.
This course in global entrepreneurial management places unique demands on you due to its cross-disciplinary and inter-functional nature. It requires you to address many dimensions of your management education including marketing, human resource management, finance, accounting, information technology, production, operations, supply chain management, and managerial economics. In addition, many broader aspects of your liberal arts and social science backgrounds are relevant in this course. As such it acts as a vehicle for acquiring knowledge and developing skills, attitudes and behaviors associated with innovative and strategic management in entrepreneurial environments.
Video Transcript
Hello, my name is John Torrens, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to Global Entrepreneurial Management, your Whitman capstone experience. So before we talk about the course, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. So, I think it might be helpful for you to understand who's working with you throughout the course of this class here. I started out my career in a fairly unconventional way for a university professor. I'm actually a musician. I went to college to be a musician—a saxophone player. I still play in a local band once in a while, but not as often because I travel a lot. I realized shortly into my college career that the only thing I was going to be able to do with a music degree was teach music. So, I didn't really want to do that, so I became a psychology major because I didn't really know what else I was going to do.
Then I was going to go to graduate school for psychology, but then they told me that during my fourth year of graduate school, because it was a clinical psych degree, that they were possibly going to close the program down and that I might consider going somewhere else. I decided to get a degree in speech-language pathology, so I became a speech therapist. So I'm a saxophone player, I'm a speech therapist, and now I'll tell you the rest of the story. I started my practice after I had a job. So, I started working as a speech therapist for about a year and a half. I owed the state of New York that much time because they funded a large amount of my graduate education. However, the reason they funded it was because I had to work in a place that they couldn't hire anybody else to work in. So, it was a really tough setting. So, I left after about a year and a half, and I owed the state all sorts of money and fees and interest back. But it was worth it for me, because I didn't really like my job.
So, in terms of my entrepreneurial experience, my motivation wasn't necessarily that I was pursuing an opportunity that I felt passionate about; it was really because I was running away from something that I didn't like all that much, which is a little bit different. So I started my own practice, which was great, and then I realized over time that my income was going to be limited to the number of hours in my day, and I didn't think that was so cool. So then I started hiring people, and then I realized this is actually cool. I can make money as I grow my company. So I got my PhD in business, because about a year into it I sat around my conference table at a staff meeting and realized that the people sitting there were depending on me to pay their bills and mortgages. They thought I knew what I was doing, and I really didn't know what I was doing at that point. I had no formal business education. I was just bootstrapping and making it up as I went along.
So I went up to the University and said, hey, I want to take an accounting class, because I thought as long as I could manage the books I should be OK. But they said, no you don't want to take an accounting class, what you want to do is enroll in our MBA program. And I thought, I don't really want to do that because I already have a master's degree. So I did what any rational person would do. I said screw it. I enrolled in the PhD program. So my business grew really fast over time because every single course I took in my doctoral program I used my business—this growing living business—as my lab experiment. So, when I had to take my introductory to business law course, I got all my contracts sorted out. When I had to take my marketing plan, I developed a real marketing plan for my business, on and on, until I was done with the program. So, fast forward a few years, 20 years later, my company had about 300 employees, almost $12 million in revenue, and had the opportunity to sell it, which I did. There's a lot more to the story which I'll fill you in on later probably, but I ended up selling the company. Thought I'd died and went to heaven, because as soon as I did that, I got a job at the University. And if you've ever had a real job, working as a university professor is really cool, so I did that.
A few years later, I had the opportunity to buy part of the company back. So as an entrepreneur, I've had the experience of selling the company, feeling seller's remorse, and then buying the company back, and experiencing buyer's remorse. So I felt it all. I know what it's like to struggle to try to find an idea. I know what it's like to struggle to make payroll. I know what it's like not to know what you're doing and question yourself, and then I know the ecstasy and the exhilaration of selling it and then buying it back. So now I have both worlds. I run the company, and I'm a university professor and I feel like my life was pretty good. In addition to that, I'm a manager of a very small fund that invests in small start-up companies, which is an awful lot of fun for me.
So, on to the course. This is a very challenging course, and the simulation is new venture creation. So what we're going to do here is enable you to pull everything you've learned throughout your graduate education into one single final product or project, and it's new venture simulation or new venture creation. And the idea isn't really that you're going start the company, although we would be ecstatic if you did, and from time to time that happens. Every year we might get two or three students who actually start the companies, and that feels really good, but I know it's a required course and you're here, but you have to be and you won't need to do it to get your degree. Having said that, though I hope that you gain a lot of really valuable insights and use what you've learned to advance your careers no matter what you do.
So, for example, if you're working in a corporation and you're able to apply an entrepreneurial skill set, you're going to be much more valuable as an employee to the firm if you can do that then if you just mark time and punch the clock. So these skills are really important no matter which path you choose. So hopefully you're going to get a lot out of it. You're going to have a lot of fun. It's going to be quite a bit of work, and you're going to pull everything together into one final project that you're hopefully going to be proud of. So my role is mostly as a coach or a consultant. Hopefully at this point, I shouldn't be teaching you any brand new content. Really what I'm hoping to do is help you connect the dots between everything you've already learned and show you how all those things you've learned work together as one unified whole to start a company. So welcome to the class, and I'm really looking forward to working with you all.

Across the regions that we work in, Dalberg has numerous diversity and inclusion initiatives spearheaded by staff across a range of different identities (e.g. gender, race, sexuality, educational background, parental status). However, to truly scale and embed inclusion in our polices and processes and ensure cross-fertilization of learnings across the initiatives we already have, a senior coordination mechanism is missing.
To institutionalize the staff-led to momentum to bring our authentic selves to work, we have created a Global Inclusion Advisor role that sits on our governance committees and reports to the Global Managing Partner. The Global Inclusion Advisor is tasked with embedding an inclusion mindset in our culture—an ongoing process that includes decision-making, policies, processes, and client/office/team-level dynamics. The Global Inclusion Advisor also serves as a thought partner for staff at all levels everywhere on how we can embed diversity and inclusion both internally, and in the solution set we bring to the world.
Currently two Dalberg Partners have stepped into share the Global Inclusion Advisor role. This took place in early 2019 and we are excited to embrace and support their efforts.
As a values-led strategy consultancy with staff that represent over 50 nationalities and speak over 90 languages, diversity is core to our DNA at Dalberg. In fact, the Dalberg difference is our diversity and inclusivity, as we bring that lens to even the most traditional market entry, business growth, or investment strategy work we do with our clients. It is also why we will never stop pushing ourselves to improve internally, evolving our own organization to reflect the kind of change we wish to see in the world.

The Merritt Centennials began their 45th Anniversary season on the right foot by beating the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Keeping to his word Head Coach and General Manager Joe Martin played a lineup of mainly Centennials hopefuls with the exception of veteran Zach Court.
Despite the lack of experienced BCHLers, the Centennials did just fine. They managed to topple the Silverbacks 7-4.
The first period started with penalties. Timber Lewis of the Silverbacks was the first player to go to the box less than two minutes into the game. The Cents couldn't convert and ended up going shorthanded minutes later when Connor Bowey went off for a minor for head contact and a ten minute misconduct. Blake Sidoni, who looked good throughout main camp, continued to impress by scoring the first goal of the Cents preseason.It was a nifty play where he got the puck in tight after a turnover at the line, managed to pull it to the back hand and tuck it between the legs of Pelletier. The Cents killed off another penalty before the Silverbacks' Trey Thomas tied things up after skating onto a bank pass, pulling it backhand, and chopping it past Jordan Naylor glove side.
In the second period the Cents came to life. The period started slowly with each team taking two minor penalties before newcomer Ashton Stockie was the recipient of a beautiful passing play on the power play. Kevan McBean slid a hard pass up the near side wall, and Mitchell Gove gave the perfect one touch, poke pass ahead to Stockie who gathered the puck and went bar down on Pelletier to make it 2-1. That's how things ended heading into the BCHL Media time out. Naylor finished with 13 saves on 14 shots, and Pelletier finished with 13 saved on 15 shots. After the timeout is when the Cents goalscorers came to life. Fraser Dodd added a goal after a nice passing play with Mitch Gove, then within a minute Sidoni scored his second of the game to make it 4-1. The Silverbacks tried to grab back the momentum by scoring against the flow of play to make it 4-2, but the Cents just kept rolling. Alex Bourhas got credit for the goal, after a Christian Siban shot went off both posts and out before Bourhas finished off the play, and then Dodd was the recipient of a beautiful pass from behind the net from Sidoni to make it 6-2 after 40 minutes of play. The shots were 24-17 for the Cents at that point.
The third period saw the Cents come back to earth a little bit. Bar Lev-Wise scored for the Silverbacks to make it 6-3 early in the 3rd, but then Court did yeoman's work on an ensuing powerplay bowling over a player while he had the puck, returning to his feet, turning over the puck, and then finding Sabin with a cross ice feed that was finished beautifully to make it 7-3. The Cents got into a bit of penalty trouble in the third, with Court and Peakman going to the box within a minute of eachother, but the Centennials managed to kill off the 5 on 3 advantage and go perfect on the special teams throughout the game. Harley Bootsma added a late goal for the Silverbacks to get the score to 7-4.
After the game, Martin said the will to win was there, the boys were enjoying the game, but some hard decisions regarding trimming the roster will have to be made tomorrow.
"Think we let go about 8 this morning, and we're at the low 40's and by tomorrow we want to get to the low 30's, so 10 to 12 is probably the number we'll have to let go."
Looking forward to Friday's contest Martin says the team needs to work on making the right plays.
"We have some structure that we want to improve upon, but you want to start creating good habits at the start of the season. Hockey players are creatures of habit, and you need to instill those in practice and carry them over into the game."
The next pre-season game goes on Friday on the road at 7pm against the West Kelowna Warriors.

Udupi, June 22 2019: Two men were injured seriously among others, when a massive tree crashed in the car park areas at the Kasturba Hospital (KMC) premises in Manipal on June 21, Friday.
The Mayflower tree near the trauma centre was uprooted by gusty winds and crashed. Two cars were damaged badly and 2 cars were slightly damaged.
Dugga Poojari (60) from Kundapur suffered head injuries when the branch fell on his head. Irfan Ali (40) of Channagiri in Davanagere district, suffered injuries to his shoulder.
Manipal police said that the injured were admitted to the Kasturba hospital in Manipal and are said to be recovering. As it was noon, the area which is usually teeming with patients' caretakers, was deserted when the tree crashed.
Fire brigade personnel from Udupi rushed to the spot and cleared the area by chopping the tree.

I made the acquaintance of Harry Potter's successor today: Percy Jackson. The similarities between the two – one a franchise nearing its end and the other a franchise in the making – are pretty obvious. But now we're on a different scale. We've moved away from the dark hidden London alleys, middle class suburbia and Scottish castles and lochs. Now we're in Olympian territory, complete with a very unpleasant visit to the Underworld, ruled over, a little bizarrely, by Steve Coogan and his grumpy wife. However, there's not much that's Greek about this Olympian universe – Mount Olympus is at the end of a golden lift ride in the Empire State Building, the Parthenon is in Tennessee and the entrance to Hades is under the Hollywood sign.
There is a lot in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief to enjoy, especially watching Logan Lerman take on the lead role. But, for me, it felt like too much was packed in, just to prove that the storywriters had read up on their classics (or at least seen Clash of the Titans). We had a harpy, a cow-throwing minotaur (surprisingly easy to dispose of), a hydra, a leather-clad Medusa, lotus-feeding temptresses, not too mention centaurs, satyrs, heroes and the quarrelsome (and rather pretty) gods themselves.
It's difficult to complain about a 40-foot Sean Bean as Zeus or the charismatic, the always excellent Kevin McKidd as Poseidon, cenotaur Piece Brosnan, except to say that there was not enough of them. And that was completely opposite to how I felt about the baddie of the piece, Luke, the son of Hermes, who, Heavens knows how, stole the Lighting Bolt from under Zeus' enormous nose. And then Luke hid this flashy tool inside the shield he gave to Percy, which Percy used frequently throughout the story. The final battle was unexciting and uninteresting. It could have been easily sacrificed for more time on the peak of Mount Olympus.
My biggest complaint, though, was the misuse of the excellent actress Catherine Keener who, very definitely, was absent in spirit throught this film. They might as well have had a cardboard cutout – or borrowed one of those dummies from Surrogates. Steve Coogan may also have needed a nudge. Uma Thurman, by contrast, seemed to enjoy her meaty role.
I'm wondering how the hydra, turned to stone, was explained away.
I left an extremely packed cinema thinking that I would definitely want to see a sequel and that I would probably enjoy it more. The leads are likeable, just as they are in Harry Potter. I am also looking forward to seeing the remade Clash of the Titans this Spring – if only to see Medusa in 3D. It will be interesting to compare the two.

Don't know where this came from but yesterday I was giving two classes in the women's prison in Lowell CI. At some point in the afternoon when I was riding back to Gainesville on the Dragon Princess, the thought of why is the class structure in the two prisons so different.
About an hour later it hit me. My class in the annex draws heavily on new inmates into the system from the Reception and Orientation group where as the the group that comes from the main have been down for a perioed of time and are totally attuned to prison life.
However, in all fairness it should be pointed out that those inmates that have any degree of respensibility are punished for it by having limited access to programs. They tend to end up in work camps that are located outside of the prison compounds. Because they are gone during the week, they don't have access to a host of classes offered on the main compound. In theory, they are supposed to have access to week-end religious services and etc but this in practice seldom happens.
Then there are those inmates who staff the sections that are critical to the the functioning of the prison. These are the laundry, mess hall, teachers aids and etc. They don't get released for programs and because of shifts are either working or sleeping. Those who find themselves in trouble, uncooperative and etc are regulated to positions where it is easy to participate in programs.
The end result is that those who came to prison with a work ethic of any type end up being punished by responsible jobs that hinder their access to programs. However, that is only the tip of the ice berg. The single biggest and most destructive mechanism to developing or maintaining a work ethic is the count which is normally about five times a day.
I have had programs in over 25 state and federal prisons. Never have I been in a prison were the counts were a 30 minutes or less affair on a regular basis. Bear in mind that counts are held with the inmate on their assigned bed till everyone is accounted for. If you are to have a program then it is best to have it in the morning. Nobody is moving after the midnight master count and the day almost always gets off to a scheduled start.
However, to hold a program in the afternoon is sure death. Seldom have I ever seen work call go as scheduled which means that all programs end up cooling their heels till the noon count clears and then they must feed chow which at best is an hour long affair with two lines for a thousand or so inmates.
The subterfuge here is that programs and work only counts how many and not how many for how long they were in class or at work. My experience is that more often than not the afternoon programs that should run two to three hours only get an hour. Now think in terms of how many staff in a prison cool their heels with nothing to do for maybe ten hours a week.
Then think in terms of lost time for medical attention, schooling, addiction recovery training and actual work that does not get done. We are not talking of thousands of hours but hundreds of thousands of hours of lost time.
Worst is the patterns of behavior and sense of responsibility that is learned on the part of the inmates that come to prison as youths and then enter the work force. Yes, the superficial emphasis is on work and education but in reality they learn that neither is important and spend a lot of potentially productive time cooling their heels and warming their butts in bed while the security staff is trying to figure out what is screwing the count up.
My sense is that the average prison as maybe 3.5 to 4 hours of productive education, work and program hours a day. All those staff and functions that rotate around inmates such as medical, testing and processing pay their staff for an 8 hour day. That leaves tons of hours for smoken and joken.
Florida Tax not all that long ago evaluated the effectiveness of the education efforts of Florida prisons and issued a report that about 90 percent of the inmates that enroled or were enroled in educational programs did not finish them. We are talking of a prison population with an average of the 6th grade level and you can not even participate in GED programs till you reach an educational level of the 9th grade. We are talking of recidivism rates that can be tied to levels of education on release.
Now, think in terms of doubling the productive hours of staff in general and education along with programs in general to between a 6 and 8 hour day.
My experience in working with the inmates at the front end of a sentence is that they are eager to learn and pay attention when being taught. For the most part, when teaching a group of inmates that have been in the system for any period of time like a year or more they have become jaded and are now focused on being drama queens. Their willingness and ability to learn is reduced by at least 40% (subjectively based on 15 years teaching in prison).
There are two exceptions to the above paragraph. The first is those doing 20 or more years at some point become focused on getting a life even if it is under adverse conditions and they become very astute students that are willing and able to learn. The other group is thos that hit the three or so months period prior to being at the end of their sentence. However, this is often very late in the game as most of the preparation needs to start on the day then come to prison.
This is a sad situation because I have meet men and women that are truely and deeply dedicated to teaching these men and women and they just don't get the time they need to make the inroads they could.
A great first step would be instead of using attendance as the bench mark of a program, it would be to use the actual hours the class is in session with 95 percent of the students seated and then match it against the number of seats in a classroom times an 8 hour day. It can take as long as 30 minutes from the time work call is sounded for doors to be opened, inmates to be released and then move to the sites they need to be at.
We are not only talking of a wast of tax payer dollars but also of lives that could be turned into productive citizens as opposed to a return to prison for an average sentence of five years at a cost of about $144,000 per woman.
After thought on the next day:
I know of inmates that have flipped this count system to work for them by using count periods as practice time for meditation. The start a count not knowing how long they will be down and just stay with it till it is over. Over a period of months there is a distinctive change in the demeanor and personality. They are calmer, poised and tend to become assertive rather than passive or aggressive. They also have an improved ability to work through difficult situations and absorb information. Then again they become more focused and develop a clear sense of direction as to what there life is about.

Bitter banking pill at CIBC
(File Photo)
Retail customers of CIBC First Caribbean International Bank will now have to dig a little deeper into their pockets if they wish to keep accounts in good order, as the financial institution recently announced an increase in fees effective July 1, 2018.
The new fees will affect customers who hold regular chequing accounts, regular savings accounts as well as savings plus accounts.
Although the average balance requirement has been withdrawn on most retail accounts, customers will now be charged a monthly fee of $5 to $10.
In addition to the monthly service charge, if customers conduct over the counter transactions within the branches they will also be hit with a fee.
For over the counter deposits and withdrawals on all accounts, the fee will be $3.
Commerical banks have come under heavy criticism from Barbadians recently, especially since the slash of interest rates on savings accounts after the Central Bank of Barbados announced the removal of minimum savings rates in early 2017.
At that time, CIBC adjusted their rates to between 0.05 per cent and 0.15 per cent.
Other commercial banks have gone as far as to adjust their interest rate to 0.01 percent.


text: Andrew 101 Posted December 1, 2008 Speaking of antivirus programs, what do you think of avast?I think it is decent, but I havn't used it in several years. Having to register every year to use it is a small turnoff. Although I guess spending 30 minutes to enable a years use is not bad. But then if I am fixing a friends/neighbours computer, I might not be there every year to renew registration so it would not get latest definitions I presume.Having used linux, I like not having antivirus software slowing my computer down. On my windows XP partition I am still using clamwin, which is not intrusive, and only useful to scan files that are downloaded, or to do random hard drive scans when I am not using computer.I can't remember having problematic viruses in the past 5 years (stuff that would damage OS), so having a dedicated virus scanner scan everything all the time is a waste for me (I did like AVG 7.5 since it was fast, but avg 8 introduced too many problems).I'm going to fix an old computer that has a 2006 version of MEPIS linux. So I'll probably look into installing a newer lightweight linux version (puppy). Hopefully some old ram I have sitting around will work too. They don't have to worry about viruses crashing the computer, and I don't have to deal with updating antivirus or having antivirus slowing the already slow computer down. It's just an email computer and internet browsing.Another neighbour has winxp, but I am going to have to install linux, since they have virus problems, and the windows that came with the computer will not install, and they will not be spending $150 for winxp. It's very easy to install viruses/spyware on windows even with an antivirus program running (I don't know how they do it, but antivirus software doesn't prevent it). So only solution is to remove the user, or remove windows. Linux will do everything they want on windows, except install random software that comes with viruses/spyware, which is a good thing ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiley Rein's Robert DeFrancesco Named a "Rising Star" by Law360
Wiley Rein partner Robert E. DeFrancesco III has been named a "Rising Star" by Law360, which called him one of the nation's "top three international trade attorneys under 40" and cited his "instrumental" role in winning one of the largest trade remedy cases ever brought against China.
As the U.S. solar industry was being injured by subsidized Chinese imports, Mr. DeFrancesco's work on behalf leading manufacturer SolarWorld Industries America Inc. "helped secure stiff duties for Chinese rivals, leveling the playing field," Law360 said in an April 5 profile. The case involved $3 billion in Chinese imports in 2011.
Mr. DeFrancesco has particular expertise in antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings, appearing before the U.S. Commerce Department, the U.S. International Trade Commission, the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Alan H. Price, chair of Wiley Rein's International Trade Practice, said Mr. DeFrancesco is an imaginative and thorough lawyer who has an impressive grasp of clients' industries. "He brings a unique combination of being able to solve big-picture problems while working through minute details on the record," Mr. Price told Law360. "Rob really is a rising star and we're very pleased to have him work with us."
Arguing in the solar panel case that Chinese producers were unfairly flooding the U.S. market with inexpensive products, Mr. DeFrancesco helped persuade U.S. regulators to impose duties on the Chinese manufacturers.
He also played an integral role in Wiley Rein's filing of petitions on behalf of U.S. wind tower producers, seeking investigations into Chinese and Vietnamese imports of utility scale wind towers. The investigations led U.S. regulators to levy duties on the products from both countries.
"I love the intellectual challenge of putting together a case with a lot of macroeconomics and figuring out how you go about analyzing an industry," Mr. DeFrancesco told Law360. "You need to have a good sense of the whole industry. It's what keeps these cases interesting."
In addition to Mr. DeFrancesco, Wiley Rein Appellate partner William S. Consovoy and Insurance partner Cara Tseng Duffield were also named Law360 "Rising Stars" in 2013.

The coast between the mouth of the Gautami Godavari and Godavari Point, about 24 miles to the N, is very low and intersected by many small outlets.
The "Godavari point" overlooks the entry point into the Bay of Kakinada and the Kakinada harbor.
Sacramento Shoal lies off the mouth of the Gautami Godavari.
The current between Godavari Point and Bimlipatam lies farther offshore than off Sacramento Shoal, but its velocity is less. Inshore of this current, slack water is usually found. Tidal currents will sometimes be experienced close offshore.

You might all want to read this and partake in the survey
Cats have nine lives-which makes them ideal for experimentation...
Hope it gets left the way it is, a good balance already exists between land management and public access.
A total cessation of farming will see the country swallowed by Broom/Gorse/Barbary/Manuka and a plethora of weeds, there must be some middle ground.
"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
Haven't read all the article as it is From stuff and since when do they get it right
But my gut reaction is from the pics.
The run that they show only happens once a year.
The tour company will only show the good stuff, so what's going to happen to the rest of the land? Will also most probably not run all year around only in the high seasons.
Is/can it be run at profit from a variety of activities? Dude ranch American style? But then you can only round up so many sheep so many times.
From what I can see they still will need to manage this station.
We owe that much to our pioneering fore farthers......are they also not the history of our country!
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
Anyway one a more serious not, well worth putting some input in. If farming is removed the fire risk is certainly a potential hazard that would actually reduce public access rather than increase it, and the research into TB and controls they have done there sounds like it is very helpful (other sources as not mentioned in article)
They could release all our deer species and a few more on it and run it as a national game park. Would make millions.
