Bangkok, Thailand
After all, this was what we had planned for past couple of years. Stan's childhood had bloomed into adulthood in a conservative educated middle class Indian family and he was the youngest of the siblings. All his siblings were settled across the globe and remained well connected. His parents were adorably simple and highly educated. Mom was a house wife and father was retired government servant. They had built their cozy family house already and his parents often lived in oblivion that Stan will choose to live together and raise his family living with them. They were of course very community conscience, thus proposals for Stan trickled from marriage bureau every now and then. He was very handsome boy muscular and tall, curly hair, soft, and expressive eyes and artistic long fingers. He had a flawless wheat complexion that gleamed of his love for me and I felt so soulfully in sync with his shadow. But the best part was that he was more in love with me than I was. I so desired to be the one to love him more than he did , but he never gave me an opportunity to love him more than he did love me, he just took all trickling moments to shower me with his love one can only dream of.
Mating souls impeding obstacles unseen, blissful silence, quivering touch where would the final destination be? We had cherished every dance together and every trophy we won had carved a silver lining, yet there was inveterate loneliness dancing at every heart beat. Elevator door opened and we walked hesitantly to our room. Door closed, our eyes met, lust fret, and moment stood still. A blessed moment yet our feet struggled to the rhythm and trembling hands lost the grip to hold on tight. We sat at the edge of shame & lust, one bed for the first time with our bodies shivering to unite forever, our trembling hands gently caressing each other, wanting to feel the ripples in that sea of passion that lay between our love that night. A moment of deep silence awaited the sound of our breath. Heavens humming - "Take my breath away……..". We waited for the storms inside to subside lest the passion would loose bounds and the world would fathom our love. We chose to hold on to that quiet moment for a while. After all mind lives in what it sees.
I finally broke loose, my tear journeyed my eyes & found an anchor on Stan's lips. His hands reached my neck, fingers caressed my body, and I could not hold on to my hunger. The kiss oozing of passion, the touch brimming with lust, just love had the space between and nothing else. Our night was consumed by the lust of our desire to unite our souls as our bodies had united. It had never been so beautiful and I felt a complete woman as we made first love the entire night. I had always felt so sure of life and every challenge in life seemed fluid when I was with Stan. Stan absorbed every breath of me and voiced my mind before I could even utter any word. I had barely felt the need to voice my fears and doubts. His undying support & understanding parried between life's hurdles & our journey of love together. We both spent that night in each other's arms making love like never before and didn't realize when dreams paved their way in. Morning dawned with a knock on the door; Stan's friend was standing with bed tea for the two of us. This day would by far be the most crucial day of our lives, as we'd candor our alliance to Stan's parents. A brief and heartfelt Thank you quickly bade adieu. Stan's friend had been an absolute gentleman for the night's arrangement. And now we were, finally fathoming into our reality.
As we stood on the huge entrance of Stan's house our heart beats perched to skies, the sound of air around was deafening, fear was pounding with every breath. With an awkward hesitation we rang the door bell, Stan's mother opened the door, dad was behind her and much to our shock they didn't seem flabbergasted at all. I hesitated to broaden the corners of my lips and in a smack she took us in her warm embrace congratulating us with her shivering and cold palms. They felt emotional and I was absolutely awed, as Stan stood choked. She let us in as the maid put our luggage in Stan's room. They both posed so normal that the suspense was now shrilling the fear. How on earth could this ever happen? Stan very hesitatingly queried the reason for their earlier disapproval of this marriage, but mom explained in less than two sentences –"Plans we make in our life eliminate discontent by promising us change, but ironically it's only OUR decision to imagine a different future, if we had to follow this rigid plan we would only block our own connection with people we love!" I was sure by now that forgiveness is the willingness to begin afresh, and guilt only signifies the love of staying stuck. A second before she was an object we feared and now she is like a god with feelings of love for us with whom we felt protected. Truly there was no absolute for something as relative as a mother; there can't be rules for something as gentle as a heart of a mother. However as for that moment the acceptance and first breakfast with family had relieved much of the tension we had both been through in the past couple of months.
Stan was quite settled in his job, and I had an offer to teach dance in the local dance studio alongside freelancing my designs to a fashion boutique. Since mine was a part time job I was able to strike good balance between my life at home, with friends, Stan and family. Most evenings when I would teach late Stan would wait outside the studio and after the last class, as my lessons would end, and my student would leave, Stan would play our favorite song and have the last dance as if it were our first. In those days every dance was like the first dance. Between our soul's lay just two steps, I'd take the first step and in an instant my love would take the next and the union was complete. Our love wasn't a substance of theology but significance itself. We could both listen to our inner rhythm of being. I had realized that once in awhile even in ordinary people's lives it happens. We knew those few moments when suddenly one day we woke up in the morning and everything seemed to fit in perfectly. The birds were singing, the air was fresh, the sun was rising, all seemed quiet. That's when I believed, whenever we fall in harmony with ourselves, we fall in harmony with our existence too, if all the inner conflict disappears even for a single moment then in that moment we are one, consumed by love. We knew the glory and splendor of our life; each step we danced together.
Just as life was dancing by, a moment of fated negligence changed the course of life that left us no earth to step onto. A still in the night, no breeze, no movement & a menacing silence filled in. I finished my last session with my students and Stan was waiting outside the studio as always. Slowly one by one all my students left & Stan played our music, he pulled me closer & held me, but something was different, his looks pale, his eyes drooping, his touch shivering, and his passion receding. His eyes met mine, and yet the magic didn't happen, hints of passion deflecting in coy glances, I was worried he had never missed his beats and his eyes never failed to stare at me giving me weak knees every time we danced. Suddenly Stan fell in my arms, his body cold and numb. I held him gently and put him on floor. He had a blank out. I squeaked in a nervous rage, the guard ran in with some water, we splashed some water on his face and as he regained, he still complaint of feeling weak and was unable to hold himself stiff. I rushed to call dad and in few minutes Stan was with our family Doc. Dad and Mom were clam and serene, to my dismay. I just could not understand how his parents could stay so clam in the gravest of moments and there was not a frown on their foreheads.
The doctor took his time examining and then expressed the desire to talk to me and Stan alone. Dad didn't look very pleased but co-operated as I insisted I go by wishes of the doc. The Doc stared at us and in a very grimly & trembling voice cracking in between, explained the reasons for Stan's fall, we were now a couple and so I held the right to know facts. The entire world crashed in for me in one second, when my ears heard him say that Stan was born with a rare birth anomaly that would grow worse with age. His bones would degenerate with time and dissolve; chances were he'd often feel weak and numb for a few seconds and then regain himself back. It's not sure what part of his body would suffer this adversity first. He had it couple of times when he was in school and his parents were in complete knowledge of Stan's uncertain future. Although after that he was kept on medication for sometime, there was no routine medication or permanent cure for this, it was a rare disease that one in a thousand could get, and Stan just happened to be one of them. I died a million deaths in that one second, WHY my Stan? If he was the chosen one, why chosen for this? I knew then why his parents resisted our marriage and why they accepted it with equal dignity.
Stan was mum, my eyes met his. He was calm like never before. He held me close in his blink, and it didn't take my heart a beat to know what I had to do. No science could demystify our life, to science love is just chemistry, but the grandeur and splendor of our love could not have been reduced to one answer. Our mind lived in what it saw or heard. Mom and Dad explained that in that moment fear was neither an intelligence we wished would lead us, nor was it a sin. We couldn't still our fearful thoughts, but we could always bring into focus the thoughts of stillness and our love. Yet, between our hearts fear was the static at that moment, prevented us from hearing to our intuition. Anxiety paved a run, there was an image a thought at the corner of our minds and we didn't want to eye it, just like a child closing eyes as it sees the ball come towards it. Yet awareness needed a free mind. Our inadequacy awaited a description of the fateful reality of our present. I knew why god chose me to belong to him, and him to belong to me.
I called my parents and as I disclosed the news finally they got the shock of their lives, as they had believed I was still doing my internship and will return back to them once completed. Given the circumstances they decided to fly down immediately. That week felt like a lifetime of wait. It was so hard for me to see my mother in front of me, I coupled her emotions to my present, realized what she'd have felt without me, how could I live without my Stan Ma? I left my whole world Ma, to belong to him, who would hold me & Dance a lifetime when he's gone Ma? As she held me close, I sobbed in her arms for hours, our tears met on the way and her tears absorbed all of mine, the moment taught me, I was her weakness but she was always my strength.
They accepted my fate & what I was destined to live, and why not; after all our life was half way through creating a history. My parents lived with us for a few weeks, living a hundred lifetime's pleasure in that destined togetherness. They did their best to conceal their hurts and applauded my efforts to live brave. In a few weeks after spending emotional moments with everyone they left thanking Stan's parents for being considerate and promised to keep in touch with us always. They even insisted we accompany them to USA to get some treatment from best of doctors. We were all open to this idea but it was a very tough decision to make and time was the only solution.
As time passed Stan's condition worsened slowly, He often worked from home when he felt up to it, and dad always brought him to the studio when I had my late evening sessions with my students. He would drop Stan so I could play the music we danced on always and Stan would watch me dance. His toes tapping to every beat, his hands reaching out to hold me, his breath feeling my heart beat, his tears melting with my sweat, his eyes drowning in my passion, his lips waiting to caress my tender hands & his body trembling in the sheer joy of my moves. Not a soul stood between us, when I danced for him those nights.
I was so proud to belong to Stan, and my life became an inspiration for many of my friends, who could ne'er have imagined how a girl like me could live this through. I can't say who was blessed, I believe the love was blessed, and I was where I rightly belonged. After all who needed me more than Stan? At the end of my dance he'd always whisper to me "Sophie, I am your night; I will fade into the arms of the morning for you to wade." Oh! Stan, "Please stay - Let me Belong to you just a little longer!"

Jaguar XF sedan will get a 340 horsepower engine
Jaguar has brought to the winter tests new generation sedan XF. The car will be presented in April 2015 at New York International Auto Show. New appearance will be similar to the XE, but much will surpass the four-door car size.
The new generation XF will get a longer wheelbase and more space in the cabin.
The new XF will be built on a modular platform iQ [Al], it is the same platform, on which is based XE.
Due to this fact, XF becomes about 100 pounds lighter than the current model.
In addition to a longer wheelbase the new generation XF more space in the cabin, but it will be easier, approximately for 100 kg.
This result will be achieved through the new platform, which for the most part, made of aluminum.
Most likely, in the line of engines Jaguar XF will present a number of new four-cylinder engines Ingenium. Also is expected to appear 3.0-liter engine V6. Engine power will be 340 horse powers and 450 Nm of torque. In addition will be available and a 5.0-liter turbocharged V8 for the top version – XFR-S. The car will have initially rear-drive transmission, but there will be available and four-wheel drive version.
Recall, the first generation of Jaguar XF was presented in 2007. In 2011, the model was restyled.

I think I was a little too late to inquire about the Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) at this time. Before planning to get pregnant, me and my husband already agreed to do it even though we know that the test is not available in the country and it will cost us a lot.
Why I want to do the test?
I'm already 32 and this pregnancy is everything to me.
At week 14, we told the doctor that we wanted to do the NIPT. She told me that I can still do it, but the best time was supposed to be 9 to 10 weeks. She also explained to me that based on my age and genetic/ medical history, I am still below the risk for delivering babies with genetic disorders.
Here are the options we had in order to do the test:
Option 1: We were referred to a gynecologist who does the test, but we were not convinced about the testing setup. They were supposed to draw blood from me, put it in a tube and send it to Belgium for testing. This will cost us 900 EU and I'm not even sure if the blood sample would still be good the moment it arrives in the laboratory. It is expensive and risky at the same time, but this is the most convenient option for us.
Option 2: My husband called some diagnostic centers in Miami to check if we can do it there. They offered us a price of 1000 USD including an ultrasound. It is almost the same price as Option 1, but at least we are sure that there would be no problem (e.g. clotting) with the blood sample. This is going to be our last option knowing we would spend a lot of money for it plus hotel cost and plane tickets.
Option 3: Go to Belgium and do the test there instead. It would cost us 300 EU to do the test and we will get the result in a week. We need to go to the Netherlands first then drive for 3 to 4 hours to Belgium. Tickets are also expensive, but at least we won't pay for hotel and we will get to visit my husband's family.
NIPT can already be done at 9 weeks. If the result is positive or maybe a false positive then the gynecologist will do amniocentesis to confirm it.
At Week 18, we went to Belgium and did the test. One of the personnel did some counseling about genetic disorders and explained to us what we needed to know. We were done in less than 30 minutes.
Waiting Period:
I have to confess that the waiting period was the most distressing part. I know the chances are low for me, but the what ifs are exhausting me. There were nights that I would cry just thinking about the possibilities. I kept on telling myself that everything is going to be alright and to put my trust in my unborn child that he/she will be healthy and normal.
We got the result a day after my birthday and we were overjoyed to know that everything is normal. Plus: They also confirmed the baby's gender. 😉
I hope this post encourages all moms-to-be who are scared or in doubt to do the NIPT.

Crude Oil Follows via on Day by day Reversal; Watch forty seven-forty eight
Chart Ready with the aid of Jamie Saettele, CMT
DailyFX Buying and selling Publications and Forecasts
-Up to date feedback had been that "Crude has misplaced its 2016 uptrend so be aware of the 200 day reasonable, which has been a massive pivot for the ultimate 2 years. The impulsive nature of the up to date weak spot means that any soar will show nothing greater than countertrend alternatively." Look ahead to resistance close to the underside of the damaged trendline within the forty seven-forty eight zone (50% and sixty one/eight% retracements).

Give the Expecting Mom Peace of Mind This Mother's Day
Ask any mom-to-be what she wants for Mother's day and she'll likely say something sweet like a foot rub, a charm bracelet, or art for the nursery. What she is thinking is probably that she wishes you could be pregnant for nine longs months and then go through labor instead of her! Be that as it may be, this holiday, we're suggesting you give the mother-to-be in your life a little peace of mind.
Give her a mattress that is clinically proven to provide her child with:
- Longer periods of uninterrupted sleep
- Better quality sleep
- Better temperature control for less mid-sleep wake-ups
- Increased air flow and oxygenation in the sleep environment
Basically, give her a Sopora PERFECT crib mattress. Sound self-serving? No way. New moms walk around in a sleep-deprived funk after baby arrives. Believe the moms at Sopora, all mothers themselves, that giving her a couple of extra hours of sleep WILL make all the difference.
The Perfect has so many features to make it worthy of giving to the most important woman in your life.
- Celliant fabric cover—exclusive only to Sopora
- CoolGel temperature regulating visco (memory) foam on the toddler side for better support and comfort as baby gets older
- Babysbreath Airflow technology that pushes air around the mattress and up to the surface to provide increased airflow at the surface
- The Original 'seamless' mattress with-ultrasonically sealed, flat, dropped seams to banish bed bugs, dust mites, leaks, bacteria, and microbes
- Lightweight design for easy middle of night changes
- Squared corners and edges for best possible fit in a crib
- A hypoallergenic, non-off gassing, safe sleep surface
- All the certifications you could ever want and need
- And a whole host of other features and benefits designed especially for moms, by Terri Paul, Sopora's momprenuer
And while we could go on and on about mattresses for pages and pages, to really give peace of mind, you need assurance that you aren't just being 'sold' a bill of goods from the manufacturer—no matter how much you love the Sopora mommies. So here it is: our peace of mind offering….
- The Sopora Perfect crib mattress was recommended as "THE BEST" crib mattress available in the 2013 edition of Baby Bargains—a well-respected, well known consumer's guide to what you really need and should buy for your baby. (Wondering how the rest of our products did? We earned an "A" across the board).
- Sopora just won the "Readers Favorite" award for best crib mattresses from Baby & Childrens Product News—a publication devoted to the stores that sell baby and youth products—experts in this field.
- The Sopora Perfect was selected by the biggest industry trade group as a show highlight and must-see item (in a sea of more than 3,500 exhibitors and tens of thousands of products)
- And we've been highlighted in magazines, won mom's choice awards, best product for new parents awards, mommy-media awards and so many others
Believe us when we tell you, Sopora mattresses are great—and not just because we say so—but because so many of YOU tell us that they are. Need a little more assurance? Read some of the testimonials real world parents have sent us http://www.soporasleep.com/testimonials.cfm.
So, this Mothers Day, go ahead and take her to brunch, buy her flowers, and listen to her hopes and dreams for her growing baby—but when she goes to unwrap that gift—make sure the box is a Sopora crib mattress for that new baby—not as pretty as a little blue box from Tiffany, but considerably less expensive and so much more useful. Your mommy-to-be will thank you and you will be happy you bought it when everyone in your household is sleeping better once the little bundle of joy arrives!

Manfrotto Advanced Tri Camera Backpack
I really like practical products which highlight ease of use before anything else. And this Manfrotto advanced tri camera backpack is one of those. It can carry tons of camera equipment, neatly and securely, being more versatile than any other backpack in the same category and price range.
You can easily store two fully mounted cameras, and plus few additional lenses as well. It is sturdy, robust, but still compact and elegant.
Dozens of organizational compartments
If you look at this backpack only from the outside, you'll think it has 4 or 5 zipped compartments and that's pretty much it. On the inside, however, it has a very nicely organized space, which can securely store and transport lots of camera gear without you having to worry.
The great thing that I especially love about this backpack is the fact that it can be worn with two shoulder straps (which are extremely comfortable), or just one strap, while you neatly fold the other and conceal it into a zipped compartment.
You can access your camera gear from the side, just like you'd do with a Lowepro backpack, which for the same convenience, and within the same dimension category will cost you more than two times the price.
Premium quality, cleverly designed
Everything inside this Manfrotto advanced tri camera backpack is put there with attention to detail. Each inch of the interior as well as exterior is carefully thought through, and designed with care.
The material is durable and lightweight, the back features one of the most comfortable panels you'll ever have the pleasure of wearing, and the shoulder straps are padded and super comfortable as well.
It looks slim and compact, and really sophisticated.
Oh, did I also mention that you can strap a tripod and carry it without having to worry whether it falls out or not?
Features and specs:
- Slim and compact design
- Can store tons of gear
- Premium quality materials
- Super durable
- Lightweight
- Protective rain coat
- Tons of organizational compartments
- Can carry a tripod tightly secured
- You can access your gear from the side as well without having to take it off your shoulders
- Can be worn with a single shoulder strap or with two
- Extra padded back and shoulder straps, for additional comfort
- Dimension: 21 x 22 x 26.5 cm
Customer reviews and scores
With over 40 reviews on Amazon, and many more on photography forums, this is definitely one of the best deals you'll find in relation to design, durability, and quality and storage options.
If you are after an affordable and professional-grade camera backpack, this is definitely a valid option to consider. So stylish and versatile, you won't want to exchange it for anything.

"Véronique Tanaka is playing mind games with us. Pure comics."
Bryan Talbot.
Internationally acclaimed comics star Bryan Talbot has revealed that when he gave this review for Véronique Tanaka's Metronome, he too was playing mind games with us. He confessed, in the newsletter of Nottingham comics shop Page 45, that Véronique Tanaka is more than his protété, she is his alter ego - she is, in fact, none other than Bryan himself!
Just when you thought that nobody could create something new in the comic medium, here comes Metronome - a 64-page graphic novel by Véronique Tanaka: a "silent", erotically-charged visual poem, an experimental non-linear story using a palette of iconic ligne clair images. Symbolism, visual puns and trompe l'oeil conspire in a visual mantra that could be described as "existential manga" if it wasn't for the fact that there is a very human and elegantly-structured tale providing a solid foundation to the cutting-edge storytelling.
Metronome was published in book form in March 2008 by NBM: visit their site to order the book.
It has been chosen by New York Magazine as one of its Top Ten Graphic Novels of 2008.
View a 17-minute movie only here, adapted directly from Ms Tanaka's graphic novel by Cornwell Internet. At one second per frame, the book works equally well as an animation.
Véronique Tanaka was interviewed by de:code; read the interview in English or in Italian.
Another interview with Véronique Tanaka in Publishers Weekly.
"When I awoke this morning, the Metronome was still beating in my head, and images flashing - it's brilliant. This may forever change how we view - and market - comics. Totally amazing!
"I was riveted by the images and found myself thinking about the educational applications! One beat per second is, of course, the human heart so the sound creates a direct and involuntary channel for the images - they literally get "drummed" into the soul of the viewer. It was visceral and primal. I'm wondering what this technique could do for students ... or language studies ... or even people with memory loss."
Rosalind Penfold, author of Dragonslippers
"It's like the pumping of your heart: so demanding, almost threatening, yet totally compelling. It plays with your desires, your expectations, your aspirations, your delectations... yet half-way through the heartbeat loses its echo, and what was once reflected is reduced to a staccato, violent insistence.
"I have never in my life experienced anything quite like it. As a graphic novel, it will be awesome, but as a piece of multimedia animation (for that's what it is online - not comics, with each frame replacing the other) it's haunting, harrowing, and enough to make you want to hit someone. Hard. Take the appalling irony as you will - it's the gut-felt truth."
Stephen L. Holland, Owner/manager of Page 45

Online shopping is something that allows individuals the ability to buy either goods or services from a seller over the internet. These stores are similar to buying in a real environment on the high street or shopping mall. It is a process known as B2C (Business to Consumer). In scenarios where one business buys something from another business, that process is known as B2B (Business to Business). Both processes are types of e-commerce.
It all began in 1990 when a chap called Tim Berners-Lee created the worlds first world wide web server and browser. By 1994, things like online banking had begun and Pizza Hut opened an online shop whilst Netscape made shopping online secure. The following year saw the introduction of Amazon to the world of shopping online and by 1996, Ebay had entered into the online market.
Online Shopping website for BluRay discs and clothes for gents and ladies.Online Shopping USA is a shopping site for purchasing goods on the internet at affordable cost and good discounts.

As we said in our Camping and campsites in Slovenia article, we travel around Slovenia in our campervan and stay overnight on one of the many excellent campsites. It is a great way to explore the country and, for us very convenient, but not everyone has the time to drive across the continent on their annual holidays. Apart from flying and using hotels, or perhaps booking an apartment, what other alternatives are there? Well, one option would be to hire a motorhome in Slovenia.
We found on the Internet a company called sloveniacamper.com, who have motorhomes for hire. They have a fleet of over 30 coachbuilt motorhomes that sleep from four to seven people. Based in Ljubljana, they can arrange pick up at the airport. (Flying to Slovenia article)
They advertise –
- competitive prices without hidden costs such as mileage, etc.
- over 30 brand new motorhomes
- the option to rent camper for 1 day only
- low fuel consumption
- simple to drive – if you can drive a car, you can drive a motorhome
- bring your family and friends! Most motorhomes are registered for 6 persons
- 12 hours reservation response
- 24 hour call service
On their website are full details, prices and booking information.
Worried about driving a motorhome? Well, its not a difficult as you might think and as TDS say, "if you can drive a car, you can drive a motorhome". (We have a handy guide to driving in Slovenia, with hints and tips and links to motoring organisations).

Raccoons in the walls or attic of a home in Madison should be removed for reasons other than the obvious ones. A Raccoon in a home can be destructive by using your attic like a cat uses a litter box. But fear not, because we clean that up too!
Anytime Animal Control
Call Us Toll Free Anytime!
Raccoon babies will be mobile soon!
We stay open 24/7 for Emergency Raccoon Removal cases in Madison. A Raccoon can break in to a house through drywall, but it hardly ever happens unless the Raccoon is living there for several weeks. The animals are curious, and will explore if they get bored with there surroundings.
Madison Raccoon's go in attics around the month of February. This is when the mother Raccoon starts selecting dens. She will select 3-4 different dens in order to keep the male guessing where she is. Male Raccoon's will kill the pups if he gets the chance to. The mother Raccoon will fight to protect the young, and in most cases wins! The downside to that is that now there could be a dead Raccoon in the attic. But… we can take care of that too. Dead Animal Removal is part of the job. Not one of my favorites, but we have to take the bad with the good and be sure we have a happy customer!
We service the following cities near Madison:
- Stoughton
- Mineral Point
- Fitchberg
- Tomah
- Milwaukee
- Kenosha

On 20th of June 2017, Sara was invited to Colfe's School to deliver a lecture titled "Our battle against extremism: Defending our Shared values".
In attendance were 150 fully engaged students- feedback following the event was excellent with the school saying that they had never asked so many questions from a visiting speaker. The school's Headmaster Richard Russell said:
"This was amongst the most engaging talks that we have had in recent years. Islamist inspired extremism is a difficult and emotive topic but Sara spoke confidently about its origins and the key contemporary issues in a clear and effective manner, engaging successfully with a large audience which included pupils from both independent and state schools. She dealt openly and honestly with subsequent questions and retained the interest of her audience throughout."

— Colfe's School (@ColfesSchool) June 20, 2017
Feedback from students included:
"It made me think of things I'd never considered before, such as how the use of the term "Muslim community" pigeonholes people. It also inspired me to fight for human rights and confront all kinds of terrorism." Michael Y10
"The talk was on an extremely hot and relevant topic. I learnt a lot of valuable things, most importantly I found out the religion (Islam) is generally very peaceful, and that words like sharia and jihad have been hijacked by extremists." Tom Y10
"You gave me an insight into how serious islamophobia is, and how innocent Muslims often feel the repercussions of terrorist actions. It is important not to generalise when talking about Muslims because all Muslims are different, there are some who use Islam negatively and others who peacefully follow the religion." RJ Y10
"It gave me an insight into the actions taken to prevent radicalisation in prisons, schools and online." Teddy Y10
"It gave me the chance to hear another perspective and understand that the religion isn't about hare, but in fact about peace and love. It's just how people choose to interpret it to get their own views across." Antonia Y10
"The talk made me realise how badly the fight against extremism is expressed by politicians and the government, as well as in the news and media." Emerson Y10
"I thought Sara Khan was most insightful, particularly when she said that even if you're saying something to protect Muslims, grouping people together based solely on their faith is discrimination even if no harm was meant. She gave unbiased facts to share information, rather than attempting to influence people." Lettie Y10

Alastair Borthwick life in the world of broadcasting and print media is arguably one of the most interesting experiences in journalism. His story is a perfect illustration of a broadcaster that dedicated his life to pursuing the truth and more importantly, telling stories from the point of objectivity. The following are some of the ways Borthwick changed the world around him.
First, Alastair Borthwick was one of the best writers of the last century. In all his books, there is an unmatched description and ability to tell simple stories brilliantly. Most writers in our age point his books as their main motivation, and this recognition is arguably one of the highest honor any writer can ever get.
Many pundits refer to him as a master in character development, and this ability helped him to make some of the most brilliant characters in literature. 'Always a Little Further' for example has one of the simplest settings but due to Alastair Borthwick brilliance, it is one of his best works.
Second, since he was a great storyteller, broadcasting journalism was his second home after writing. Alastair Borthwick worked with some of the best media outlets in the world, and this exposure sharpened his storytelling skills. Most of the works that he produced are some of the best radio moments of the last century. See This Article to learn more.
In addition, Alastair Borthwick's success in radio gave him a chance to work on television, which also gave him a chance to be part of the best TV moments of the last century. As part of Grampian television, which is a British outfit, he was able to reinvest television as a tool to tell the world the most important stories.
Alastair Borthwick years in the world of media have many lessons for budding journalists. First, Borthwick was one of the most real media personalities. Even if he did not agree with a story's direction, reporting the truth was part of his career. Second, he is one of the best researchers in the 20 Century. Understanding the importance of doing background studies helped him to stay objective, and therefore people could relate to him.

We are not engaged in the practice of merely getting people to sit in chairs for an hour. We believe that the gospel changes people, and that as you spend time with us you will seek opportunities to grow more deeply.
Our Community Groups are the front line of discipleship, where people engage in real spiritual community and are not afraid to say difficult things in order to aid spiritual growth. These groups also engage in community service at their own direction, taking care to be a benefit to the place where they live. Group leaders are discipled directly by their pastor, and are trusted to be spiritual leaders within their own group.
We believe that discipleship begins in the home, and our ministry is structured to equip and support parents in leading their children toward Jesus. Our Sunday morning children's ministry cares for kids from nursery through 5th grade, providing a safe and fun environment that teaches from the Bible. All volunteers that work with kids are background checked and trained.
Every week, children receive an age-appropriate version of the same sermon being taught to the adults. They also join the main service in the big room for worship through song, so that they begin to see adult worship from an early age. We also provide a follow-up resource so that parents can discuss the teaching with their children during the week.
Our service teams provide practical ways to engage with our church family. Service requires time, and can sometimes be difficult, but doing hard things for good reasons is extremely rewarding.

The bacterium that causes a highly contagious and sometimes deadly form of diarrhea is frequently carried by persons who do not have any of the disease symptoms, according to a study in the Oct. 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. These findings have dramatic implications for health care workers who have customarily treated and isolated only those patients who exhibit symptoms.
Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) is the most common health care-associated diarrheal disease in developed countries, with most infections occurring in hospitals, nursing homes, or other institutions. Generally, control measures have focused on placing patients with suspected or documented CDAD under contact precautions until the diarrhea resolved, then disinfecting their rooms. These infection control measures have been effective in reducing, but not eliminating, CDAD outbreaks.
This study offers reasons why those infection control efforts haven't been more successful: the bacteria may be thriving on asymptomatic patients and items in their immediate vicinity such as call buttons, bed rails, bedside tables, and telephones. The researchers found that spores were easily transferred from the patient's skin to investigators' hands.
"Our findings suggest that asymptomatic carriers of epidemic and non-epidemic C. difficile strains could contribute significantly to transmission in long-term care facilities," said senior author Curtis Donskey, MD, of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. "Simple modifications of current infection control practices, including glove use by health care workers and use of 10 percent bleach for room disinfection, could reduce the risk of transmission from asymptomatic carriers."
Current guidelines recommend discontinuation of contact precautions for CDAD patients after diarrhea resolves. However, the authors found that nearly 25 percent of the asymptomatic carriers were patients who had previously had CDAD. Therefore, they propose extending the duration of contact precautions until the patient is discharged.
Patients with a previous history of CDAD and antibiotic use in the prior three months were likely to be asymptomatic carriers; patients with fecal incontinence were even more so.
Founded in 1979, Clinical Infectious Diseases publishes clinical articles twice monthly in a variety of areas of infectious disease, and is one of the most highly regarded journals in this specialty. It is published under the auspices of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Based in Arlington, Virginia, IDSA is a professional society representing more than 8,000 physicians and scientists who specialize in infectious diseases.

It's the heart of winter in Chicago. Snow and ice covers the ground. The "Hawk" is out everyday, blasting a frosty wind down the streets. A gray, gloomy cast covers the sky. I see all of this but I'm not really here to feel it. Mentally, I'm in St. Lucia, sitting on the sands of Malabar Beach in Castries, listening to the waves rush back and forth to the shore. The sun gently sets, creating a rosy glow in the sky. It's a soothing scene that beats cozying up with Netflix. Join me if you like.

Left: Linda with the BSoUP Trophy for the Best of British
Shot 1. Lumpsucker: By the time I've waited for the water to warm
up these wonderful fish are gone for the year. But in May 2001, the
sea at St Abbs was still freezing, and so I came face to face with my
lumpsucker. Taken on Fujichrome Velvia, with my Pentax LX and 50 mm
macro lens in Hugyfot housing, and lit with a Sunpak Marine 32
Shot 2. John Dory: I chose this picture because the fish has such
a striking outline, shown up against a plain black background. Also,
it works well to have at least a couple of vertical shots in the
portfolio. It was taken on the James Eagan Lane (near Plymouth). I
used my Sunpak flash, and Fujichrome Velvia in a Nikonos V with a 35
mm lens plus supplementary close-up lens. The slow-moving fish posed
obligingly in the framer!
Shot 3. Ballan wrasse: Like the John Dory, this is a simple
dramatic image that works well in a portfolio. I use diagonal
compositions a lot and they help to make a strong composition for the
portfolio as a whole. I took this picture in St Abbs, 2001; large
"friendly" wrasses hang out around Cathedral Rock. Taken on Velvia,
with the same set-up as for Shot 1.
Shot 4. Octopus: I love cephalopods! St Abbs, 2001 again, provided
lots of octopus encounters. This one was on the move over a rock, so
I was able to get a low profile to make the subject stand out. Film
and equipment as Shots 1 and 3.
Shot 5. Grey seal: On our St Abbs week in 2001, we took two days
out to go down to the Farne Islands. We had a fantastic time with the
seals - they were so inquisitive and followed us everywhere. One even
swam back to the boat and was almost on top of me without me being
aware of it! Another time I was a little unnerved by a feisty bull.
He saw me off and I wondered if I'd have to take to the rocks. For
this shot I used Fujichrome Sensia 100, Nikonos V with 15 mm lens. I
made use of available light with a little fill-in from my Sunpak. I
needed this wide-angle picture in the portfolio to offset the other
macro portraits.

Own Your Superpower! Welcome to the very first Angry Birds Stella game.4.9.2014
Join Stella and her friends on an epic quest to recover Stella's stolen scrapbook and save Golden Island from Gale  the wicked Bad Princess  and her clueless pig minions.
Espoo, Finland — September 4th 2014 — Rovio Entertainment — The first Angry Birds Stella game is here! Join Stella and her friends Willow, Dahlia, Poppy, and Luca on a quest to reclaim Stella's scrapbook and stop power-hungry Gale from destroying Golden Island with her obsessive hunt for the mysterious Golden Egg.
Angry Birds Stella brings tons of new twists to slingshot gameplay. There's an all-new set of characters with kick-ass superpowers, a beautiful new setting on Golden Island, and a scrapbook where players can gather their achievements and unlock variations of the characters.
"Angry Birds Stella is going to be super fun for casual players, but will also challenge the most hardened Angry Birds veterans," said Heini Kaihu, Head of Studio, Rovio Entertainment. "The story and the world of Angry Birds Stella was hugely inspirational when designing the game, and it provided loads of great elements for the gameplay. We took great care to reflect the characters' personalities through their superpowers, all of which require skill and practice to master. In this game Stella's superpower is parkour, so she can leap from surface to surface. Willow's Vortex Spin smashes through the baddies and as for the rest – well, we don't want to spoil the surprise!"
As a brand Angry Birds Stella features daring characters, a playful and offbeat attitude, and a great sense of humor – all while dealing with real-life issues like friendship, including the occasional fall outs," said Blanca Juti, the CMO of Rovio Entertainment. "Each character has strengths and flaws, and they are not afraid to let them show!"
Fans can experience Angry Birds Stella in games, animations, books, comics, and a broad range of consumer products. Angry Birds Stella comes with its own lineup of Hasbro's Telepods figures which can be used for standalone play, and can also be teleported into the game as playable characters.
Angry Birds Stella is free to play and is out now on Apple's App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, BlackBerry World and NOOK Apps all across the globe.
Rovio Entertainment Ltd, the creator of Angry Birds™, is a global industry-changing entertainment media company headquartered in Finland that creatively combines digital with physical, breaking the boundaries of traditional content delivery. What started as a casual game in 2009 became an international phenomenon within a few months of its release. Today Angry Birds is not only the most downloaded game of all time, it is an established worldwide entertainment brand reaching out into publishing, licensing, animations, books, and location based entertainment. Rovio's animated Angry Birds feature film is slated for a 2016 release. www.rovio.com

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released this report on May 30, 2018. It outlines a guide to government and private sector actions that would reduce the threat of botnets and similar cyberattacks.
The report responds to a May 2017 Executive Order on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure, which directed the Secretaries of Commerce and Homeland Security to lead "an open and transparent process to identify and promote action by appropriate stakeholders" that would improve the resilience of the Internet and encourage collaboration around the goal of mitigating the threat of botnets.
The Report to the President on Enhancing the Resilience of the Internet and Communications Ecosystem Against Botnets and Other Automated, Distributed Threats represents the output of the yearlong effort launched by the Executive Order. It lists five complementary goals that would improve the resilience of the Internet ecosystem, as well as more than two dozen suggested actions that key stakeholders can take to achieve those goals.
The Departments released a draft of the report for public comment on January 5, 2018. This revised version of the report is consistent with the January public draft, but incorporates input from a public request for comment on the draft and a workshop. Prior to releasing the draft, the Departments held an initial workshop, published a request for comment, and initiated an inquiry through the President's National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC).

Relevant Words of God:
The work of God's management began at the creation of the world, and man is at the core of this work. God's creation of all things, it can be said, is for the sake of man. Because the work of His management stretches over thousands of years, and is not carried out in the space of mere minutes or seconds, or a blink of an eye, or over one or two years, He had to create more things necessary for the survival of man, such as the sun, moon, all sorts of living creatures, and food and a living environment for mankind. This was the start of God's management.

Here is a video of photographer Joel Meyorwitz giving some good tips and secrets to street photography. Meyorwitz is an award-winning photographer who has had work in many galleries and museums the world over.
I believe street photography takes lots of practice just like any other kind of photography. Some of the best advice I found in the video is learning to be invisible.

Jack Loftin guides his hulking sedan west through town while I sit in the passenger seat, clutching a tote bag packed with a notebook, tape recorder, camera, pens, water bottle and sunscreen. A cooler containing our lunch—ham on white, assembled by Jack's wife—rests in the backseat. A pickax and a dead rattlesnake are stashed in the trunk. We seem woefully ill-prepared for our expedition.

As we leave the town behind, the desert-like landscape stretches all around us—looking nothing like the sandy dunes traversed by Lawrence of Arabia but more like the outskirts of Vegas where movie mobsters dump the bodies. Jack steers onto a private dirt road and drives another minute or two before pulling off to park near a Jeep and pickup truck. I hear voices but see no one. Jack leads me to the edge of an embankment. I spot our quarry—four men digging in the hillside shaded by a blue tarp.

Archer City, Texas is a town of 1,834 people about 140 miles northwest of Dallas. It's the seat of Archer County—both named for Branch Tanner Archer, a leading figure in the Texas Revolution and Republic of Texas. Ranching, hunting and oil dominate the present-day economy, though most locals look elsewhere for work. Businesses include a small grocery, a handful of restaurants, two inns, thrift shops, oil field suppliers, the Royal Theater and the sprawling bookshops owned by Pulitzer Prize and Oscar-winning author Larry McMurtry. The town is both a community for the longtime ranching families and a "country" home for commuters working in nearby Wichita Falls. McMurtry, who grew up on a ranch outside town known as Idiot Ridge, brought acclaim to Archer City through his writing. The town's ranching heritage and cowboy culture inspired his Westerns, including his epic novel Lonesome Dove. He relied on its more modern incarnation to create Thalia, the fictional town in The Last Picture Show.

In 1876, while traveling Texas collecting plant samples, Swiss botanist Jacob Boll stumbled upon an ancient amphibian's skull in Archer County. Eryops was a 200-pound carnivore who resembled an alligator with a flat head and snub nose. The fossil was the first discovered from the pre-Jurassic era Permian period—more than 250 million years ago and before dinosaurs walked the earth. The discovery ignited a paleontological gold rush in Texas. In two years, Boll collected fossils of more than 30 previously undiscovered species for noted paleontologist E.D. Cope, who discovered and named more than 1,000 vertebrates during his career. He and paleontologist O.C. March battled for 15 years to outdo each other fossil finding, a feud that became known as "The Bone Wars." A steady stream of collectors converged on Archer County over the next 40 years. Alfred S. Romer of Harvard first visited in 1926. For more than 40 years, he visited annually—sometimes bringing his students, sometimes staying a month or more—to excavate in Archer County's Geraldine bone bed, a Permian fossil gold mine that he discovered.

In the scientific world, Archer County is renowned as the world's most prolific source for remains of "sail lizards," a group of prehistoric reptilian-looking creatures known for the fin-like growths along their spines. Museums all over the world, including New York's American Museum of Natural History and Paris's National Museum of Natural History, display Archer County fossils. One of the finds, an eel-like aquatic predator, was branded Archeria. The fossils of Archer County have helped researchers close the gaps in our evolutionary tale.
Yet Archer City, with its Western folklore and its McMurtry myths, remains largely indifferent to its pre-Jurassic past. A few monuments about town commemorate Archer's role in evolutionary history: dusty displays in the county museum; a sail lizard among the cowboys in a mural on the Dairy Queen wall. The customers who wander in for a DQ Bacon Cheese Grill Burger and a hand-dipped cone don't seem much interested in the lifeforms plying their landscape 250 million years ago.. Instead they pay homage to the Old West, with their annual Archer City Rodeo and parade. But what defines the history of a place? Only our stories? Human stories? Or maybe we should think more about the ancient lizard-like creatures who walked here before us. Only Jack Loftin, the county historian, born here 82 years ago, appears interested in linking the two worlds.
My exploration of Archer County's history starts in an obvious place—the Archer County Museum, a former jail. One block north of the courthouse square and adjacent to a farm equipment grave yard of sorts, is the jail, a three-story, sandstone structure erected in 1910. The sheriff's family once lived on the first floor. Prisoners resided on the floors above, near a never-used hanging gallery. The first prisoner was a horse thief.
The door pushes open with a creak into the museum's "lobby," a 10-by-10 room crammed with furniture and cooled by a grinding window air conditioner. As she does every weekend, volunteer curator Mary Ann Levy waits here for visitors. Jack Loftin, slouched in a wooden chair, keeps her company. Admission is free, but Mary Ann asks me to sign the visitors' log.
I pass from the lobby into the "exhibit halls," a maze of rooms stuffed with remnants of Archer County's past: maps and photos, jars and soda bottles, furniture and clothes. The first display to greet me is a full Diadectes skeleton mounted in a homemade, glass-topped wooden case painted aqua. The skeleton's label is handwritten in permanent marker directly on the case itself.
Diadectes roamed the Texas Plains 140 million years before dinosaurs arrived. Renderings depict him as resembling a pot-bellied lizard, but don't mistake him for the English-accented, insurance-selling gecko variety. A full-grown Diadectes stretched up to 6 feet long and weighed 200 pounds.
Jack discovered his Diadectes near Archer County's southern border in 1980. I examine the assembled vertebrae, rib and leg bones, trying to imagine the herbivore lumbering among swamps—a vegetarian crocodile with the personality of a cow. I ignore the skull; I know it's a fake. A few days earlier, two fellow writers and I sat around the kitchen table in Jack's tin-roofed ranch house east of town for an introduction to Diadectes. Jack—rancher by birth, engineer by trade, historian by inclination—is also an amateur paleontologist with a few important fossil finds to his name.
Jack's wife, Marie, retrieved a 1.5-foot square black box, a treasure chest of sorts, from underneath a desk in the adjoining room and carried it to the table. As her husband narrated, she unpacked the box. "This is a knife," Jack said of a Native American tool crafted from flint. "Here's another knife. Here's an arrow. I have lots of arrows. … And here's the real head." He deposited a rocklike item about the size of a grapefruit onto the table. The skull bore the features of a horror-movie monster—canine-esqe shape, hollow eye sockets and bared, overlapping teeth.
"Aww, he's cute," said one of my companions, giving the creature an affectionate pat. "Do you have a name for it, Jack?" "Diadectes," he replied. Jack may count the head among his prize possessions, but he's not one for christening his finds with cute pet names like Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex or Gertie the Chindesaurus Bryansmalli (both are real, by the way).
Back in the museum, the wooden floorboards moan as I move into the first display room and find an Eryops skeleton mounted on a saw horse with his head atop an empty cabinet. The next room, dubbed the library and prehistoric room, holds an odd assortment including dusty soda bottles, an aged printing press and skeletons of the sail lizards Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus. Typed labels turning yellow identify some exhibits, while sloppily hand-printed signs mark others. A folder decorated with foam letters resembling a child's craft project offers fossil instruction. On the middle shelf of a case lining the western wall rests what looks like a large, flat, black stone. It's another fake head: a replica of that first discovered Permian fossil.
Jack assembled these displays—a testament to Archer County's place in scientific discovery. His book, Trails Through Archer, is the source on Archer County's history. He and his wife compile cemetery surveys for genealogy research, and Jack has marked historical sites all over the county with handmade markers. He believes that fossils extracted from these lands should stay here, but most don't. Boll's Eryops head reportedly went to the American Museum of Natural History, along with thousands of samples collected by Cope and his teams. Some were studied and later displayed. Some were packed away to await a scientist with time to probe them.
The American Museum of Natural History, founded in 1869, occupies four city blocks fronting New York's Central Park. Permanent exhibits include geological specimens, animal dioramas, fossils, a planetarium and the famous 94-foot blue whale model that dangles from the ceiling in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. Hundreds of visitors swarm under the cathedral ceiling of the main lobby—the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda—greeted by the world's tallest freestanding mount of a dinosaur, Barosaurus, with its elongated, skinny neck stretched 100 feet above their heads. But the museum is more than a display space, it's also a laboratory and research facility—a scientific holy land that draws scientists, anthropologists, historians and others to study its collections—and sponsor 100-plus field expeditions each year.
I enter via the museum's back door—the subway level—missing the rotunda's grandeur. I want to see what the public doesn't: the museum's expansive archives. The museum holds more than 32 million specimens (4.75 million of them fossils), displaying only a fraction at any given time. Publicist Kristin Phillips whisks me to the fifth floor, an area outside the public domain, to meet Carl Mehling, manager of the paleontology department's amphibian, reptile and birds fossil collection. Carl has agreed to help me hunt for the first Archer County fossil: the Eryops head discovered by Boll. He leads us on a brisk walk through wide, high-ceilinged hallways lined with rows and rows of 4-foot tall lockers stacked two high. Each one is filled with specimens—fossils, modern invertebrates, mammals and more.
We climb to the sixth floor and enter a room about the size of a basketball court filled with more lockers. We pass a researcher examining fossils at a table and move to the last row where Carl opens a cabinet marked "Eryops." Three-inch deep wooden trays, mounted on track-like drawers, fill the cabinet. Carl matches the catalog number he retrieved from the computer database to one of the drawers and slides it out. "I'm not even sure what we're looking at here," he says.
The drawer holds multiple small fossils; "jaw fragments," reads one ID card. Definitely not Boll's Eryops skull. "It doesn't mean we don't have it," Carl says, "it just means if we do have it, someone didn't put the word Boll into the database." He scans the drawer tags, looking for the word skull. "Oh, that's beautiful," Kristin exhales, as he withdraws another tray. The intact skull fills the entire drawer. It's not an Archer County sample; but Boll collected it in Wichita County, just one county to the north. "God, that's awesome," Carl says as we all examine the wide, flat head with eye sockets high on its face.
Carl opens other lockers, discovering drawer after drawer of fossils collected from Archer and surrounding counties by Boll and W.F. Cummins, who both worked for Cope during the late1800s. Many of the samples remain untouched since their acquisition, awaiting a curious researcher. "You can see with a place this rich," Carl says, "it was collect first; collect, collect, collect. And someday when somebody's hysterically interested in Eryops, they'll have a field day." In lockers on the next row, we find more samples from Texas: Diadectes, Dimetrodon, Edaphosaurus, Seymouria (a smaller Permian era amphibian named for the town of Seymour). "We have a lot of Dimetrodon," Carl says. "That's everybody's favorite. It's so well loved that it gets into all the collections of little dinosaur toys. It bridges the gap because it's cool, not because it's a dinosaur." He pulls out more drawers, hoping to show me an intact skull of one of these creatures. "Last cabinet; cross your fingers," Carl says. "It's like a lottery," I reply. Alas, no jackpot. The cabinet contains nothing from Archer.
We leave the collection room and navigate a maze of hallways and stairwells connecting two of the museum's 25 buildings. Carl takes us down a stairwell and past a velvet rope meant to keep visitors from leaving the public exhibits and wandering into museum workspaces. The museum's fossil halls inhabit all of the fourth floor's public space, and Carl maneuvers through the crowds of tourists and schoolchildren like an aggressive taxi in heavy traffic. The museum labels itself a "field guide to the entire planet," and in the primitive mammals hall, we encounter Archer's contribution: a reconstructed skeleton of the sail lizard Edaphosaurus collected by Romer, the Harvard paleontologist, from the Geraldine bone bed. Carl and Kristin leave me to explore the rest of the museum on my own. Even though I didn't find Boll's elusive Eryops head, I'm delighted with the results of my treasure hunt. I found evidence of Archer County's important contribution to scientific discovery, one that's ongoing.
German paleontologist Martin Sander first visited the bone beds of Archer County in 1982 while earning his master's at the University of Texas-Austin. He conducted his thesis research here and returns periodically to resume digging. Two students and an amateur joined him on his latest excavation in September 2010 on private land west of Archer City. I've agreed to keep the location secret; Jack fears fossil poachers if word gets out. I perch on a large rock under the tarp canopy to watch Chris Shelton, who grew up in nearby Iowa Park, chip dirt away from the hillside. Chris earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Midwestern State University and moved to Germany to work toward a doctorate in paleontology under Martin. "The main purpose is to get materials for Chris' study but also for teaching purposes," Martin says.
The men don't tolerate my passive observer role for long. "If you want to write about it, you have to do it," Martin says as he carves a drainage channel into the site with a pickax. "I'm not going to make you do the pick work, but you have to dig." I plop into the dirt, and Chris equips me with my digging tools: a small paintbrush and the hooked metal tool dentists use to scrape tartar from teeth. "There's a bone there you can dig out, a vertebrae," Chris says. I tentatively poke at the dirt, trying to distinguish dirt from rock from bone. As I practice my digging technique, I learn the purpose behind the rattlesnake, which Jack had killed that morning near his garage. Team members Koen Stein and Herman Winkelhorst pose for photos with the snake draped around their necks. "That's what they wanted to see most, a rattlesnake," Martin says. Fossil excavating is strenuous, tedious, hot—and often fruitless—work. I unearth a handful of fragments no bigger than a grape. Luckily Martin's team fared better during their weeklong dig. They amassed hundreds of samples large and small, including a Dimetrodon skull, that they ship to the University of Bonn, where Martin teaches and Chris and Koen study.
Fossils from Archer County—both those collected a century ago and those gathered last year—continue to enhance scientific understanding. Martin wrote about Archer bone beds during his master's work more than 20 years ago. Though his research has strayed outside Permian era animals—he's co-curator of a new American Museum of Natural History exhibit on Sauropods, the world's largest dinosaurs—Archer fossils still impact his research. "Today I'm interested in the big questions of evolution, like extinction and the origin of warm-bloodedness," he says. "When Chris came and wanted to do something with Permian, I combined that with my interest." Chris has presented his early findings at two international conferences. Jack regularly conducts tours of Archer's fossil sites for both amateur and professional paleontologists.
To scientists, the prehistoric amphibians of Archer County mean something—even 135 years after their discovery and nearly 300 million years after they lived. "I have to go there," Carl from the American Museum of Natural History told me as we hunted the archives for Archer fossils. "I want to find things like this." But to everyone else, they're an interesting oddity or, more likely, simply unknown. Except to Jack. He continues to talk about Archer's Permian past to anyone who will listen. He keeps collecting his own fossils, reassembling the bones like puzzle pieces at a work station in his living room. He has weaved these otherworldly, lizard-looking creatures into his hometown's story. Jack, 82, still works the ranchland where his family settled in the 1870s, when the first permanent residents arrived, and his memory remains sharp. But he can't stand sentinel of Archer County's past forever, and once he's gone, the town will likely go on with its Western ways, slowly forgetting what originally put them on the map.
