Meet Your 'Bus Driver'
Joshua Messitte
I'm a rising junior at UGA studying computer science and public health. I am pursuing my masters in computer science through a program, called Double Dawgs, where I will spend one extra year in Athens and earn a masters degree. I work as a tour guide for the UGA Visitor Center and a peer tutor for the Academic Resource Center. I am also a member of TEP, one of the Jewish fraternity's on campus, where I worked as rush chair/head of recruitment to introduce Jewish Greek life to students. I also work with Hillel, and plan events like basketball games between Jewish fraternities.

Why University of Georgia?
What do you love about your school?
The city of Athens, crazy school spirit, game days, campus itself, and the wide array of students.
Why did you choose your school when you were a senior in high school? Walk us through that process.
At first, UGA was barely on my radar. From Maryland, I was especially worried about Jewish life. When I visited my senior year, and was introduced to some guys in TEP who showed me around campus, I got a taste of what an amazing community and place UGA is. I loved campus as well as the social aspects. I was also intrigued by the honors program which I am in, as well as programs like Double Dawgs where you can earn a masters in an area of your choice in one extra year. I quickly forgot about my other top choices and committed to UGA.
What has been your favorite class so far? Tell us about it!
This past semester I took Theory of Computation, my first upper level computer science class. While it was difficult at times, we learned things like constructing a Turing Machine, which is a program that the Americans used to decode Nazi messages during WWII. I loved how applicable the class was and some of the cool things we learned.
What fun traditions do you like to partake in at your school?
Tailgating for game days, ringing the chapel bell, jumping in the fountain, snacking late night in downtown Athens at places like Little Italy.
Tell us about Jewish life on campus. How have you been able to engage with this aspect of your identity while at school?
The Jewish community at UGA has to be one of my favorite parts about school. While at first, it was my biggest reservation and the number of Jews might be small in comparison to all students, Greek life and things like Chabad and Hillel make it possible for Jews all over campus to connect and forge awesome friendships. Personally, my fraternity brothers in TEP, who are Jewish, are the closest people to me in the world. Hands down, they have made my college experience as great as it has been. I also love connecting with other Jews at Hillel, which conducts events open to all Jews on campus.
Share your favorite road trip song that we can add to our college road trip playlist!

When you talk about writing for fun, then science fiction and fantasy does it for me. My fascination with science fiction started when I was six—I'll never forget the excitement I felt as I watched X-wings and TIE fighters scream across the screen, followed by the roar of engines and blaster bolts exploding against metal.
And I absolutely love the imaginations of authors like J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S Lewis, and Terry Goodkind. I plan to write in both genres and perhaps combine them in a single work.

ACES / IMES Lecture Migration Series
In this online lecture Kerri Woods will discuss her recent research on the construction of LGBTQ identities in the UK Asylum Policies. How are these constructions created and why are they harmful? She will propose a project of better understanding and identifying the ways this injustice is generated.
|30 October 2020
|16:00 -17:00
The 'hostile environment' all migrants to the UK face is particularly and specifically hostile for LGBTQ asylum-seekers. Normative theorists of refugee issues tend to focus on the regulation of borders, taking immigrants as a uniform group. But this approach ignores the specificity of experiences and generates blindness to specific injustices.
The UK's Asylum Policy Instructions on Sexual Orientation direct asylum decision-makers to a set of expectations of what it is to be LGBTQ, in order to assess the validity of claims based on persecution related to sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In this talk, Kerri Woods argues that within this policy, heteronormative and neo-colonial understandings of sexuality coalesce with a culture of suspicion towards refugees and an institutionalised conceptualisation of LGBTQ identities, generating a pernicious form of epistemic injustice within the asylum decision-making process for LGBTQ people.
This is not just a credibility deficit, as is experienced generally by refugees, it is more like an institutionally-produced incapacity to hear the testimony that says, 'my experience of being gay does not match your expectations of what a gay person is'.
Kerri Woods will explain the construction of this incapacity as an example of what, in another context, Polhause Jnr calls wilful hermeneutic ignorance. This framework allows us to capture the wrongfulness of this process for adjudicating asylum applications, even in cases where the 'right' result is reached. In her talk, Woods will propose an ameliorative project of better understanding and identifying the ways in which this injustice is generated, as a precondition for effective remedy.
About Kerri Woods
Kerri Woods is lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Leeds. She has written on human rights theory, environmental human rights, solidarity, feminist thought and refugees. Currently, she is leading an interdisciplinary White Rose Consortium funded research network on 'Understanding Solidarity amid Refugee Crises'.
This event is organised as part of the ACES / IMES Migration lecture series. This series presents new and inspiring scholarship on migration and migrants broadly defined: ranging from the politics of immigration, integration, and identity to migration drivers and trajectories, and from integration dynamics to ethnic and racial diversity. Speakers explore these dynamics in Europe and beyond. The series strives to promote interdisciplinary exchange between scholars in the social sciences and beyond, as well as between scholars, students, and practitioners."
The event will be held online. Zoom link will be send by email after registration.

The F-Pace's armoury is well equipped to take on the Porsche Macan
It would be easy to dismiss the Jaguar F-Pace as merely a bland, boring SUV – one of many new jacked-up crossovers, only more premium. But that would be a mistake, as Jaguar's 4×4 is one of the most accomplished SUVs we've ever got behind the wheel of. It rivals the Porsche Macan, both overtaking the Cayenne, for the SUV top spot. It exhibits poise and composure down demanding B-roads and, when threading it through corners, it's truly involving as the four-wheel drive system perceptibly hunts for grip. We'd even go as far to say that it's actually fun, even if it isn't quite as engaging as a well-sorted wagon or sedan.
> Jaguar F-type R 2020 review – supercharged V8 coupe takes the fight to Porsche's 992
A lot of the F-Pace's athleticism comes from its underpinnings, some of which it borrows from Jag's sportiest model, the F-type. It doesn't, sadly, get the sports car's supercharged V8, yet. But, the V6 engines that are available are decent, especially the 3-litre diesel that suits the F-Pace well.
Performance and 0-100 time
The range topping 280kW, 3-litre, supercharged V6 will reach 100kmh in just 5.1sec, which for an 1861kg SUV is impressive. However, it's is only fractionally quicker – 0.1sec to be exact – than Porsche's Macan GTS and the Jaguar's top speed is limited to 250kmh.
The V6 diesel features twin-turbochargers with the 3-litre unit producing 220kW and a mighty 700Nm of torque. It isn't as quick as the petrol against the clock, reaching 100kmh in 6.2sec and going on to a 241kmh top speed, but that mid-range turbocharged torque makes it feel the quickest of the range in day-to-day driving.
The F-Pace is also available with a 132kW four-cylinder, 2-litre, turbo-diesel and will reach 100kmh in 8.9sec and top 209kW if ordered with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear wheel drive. Go for the optional four-wheel drive drivetrain with the excellent eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox and you'll cut two-tenths from the 0-100kmh time, but lose 1kmh at the top end.
The V6 engined models are only available with all-wheel drive and the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The 3-litre V6 turbo-diesel might not be the most characterful engine, but it's functional and incredibly flexible. Keep it between 2500 – 4000rpm, which is easy thanks to the plethora of gears in the 8-speed automatic gearbox, and you can make swift progress. Rev it out to its limiter and, although the noise isn't unpleasant – it's much nicer than you'd expect from a diesel – there's not much to be gained in terms of performance.
The top-spec, supercharged V6 might produce some impressive numbers, but it isn't quite as impressive to use. It needs revving hard to feel the benefits of the power on offer, a task not befitting for an SUV. If you aren't working the supercharged V6 hard, then the diesel – with its additional 250Nm of torque – is faster from A to B.
The volume seller will be the 132kW 2-litre turbo-diesel, which while not as quick nor as flexible as its six-cylinder relatives it has just enough performance to avoid frustration. The manual may appeal to the die hard driving enthusiasts but the eight-speed auto is more naturally suited to the F Pace.
The F-Pace has a number of driving modes from eco, through normal to dynamic. The throttle map and automatic gearbox's shift points and speeds are changed dramatically in the sportiest mode.
The F-Pace does not ride like a plush, luxurious, premium SUV; it is no Range Rover after all. Instead, the body control is tense and the ride is relatively firm, but the result of the slightly-less-than-comfortable ride is a very agile machine and remarkable body control.
Turn in hard and the F-Pace stays uncharacteristically flat and level for an SUV. Unless you're too aggressive with the steering, there's no understeer, but a little bit of trail braking brings the rear around even more readily. With the nose tucked in you can get on the power early in the corner and catapult yourself away from the exit.
The four-wheel drive system initially favours the rear axle, and you can certainly feel the back tyres dealing with the extra torque. Moments after hitting the throttle – the diesel V6 can need a bit of time to react – the rear begins to push the back around. In slower corners, where the acceleration is more pronounced, the front tyres are called in to help and you start to feel them nibble away at the tarmac.
The tyres chirp and squeal in protest as they struggle to keep the tall Jag on line, but they do withstand a lot of punishment. Turn all the systems off, rely purely on mechanical grip, and the F-Pace feels much the same. However, the rear will give up first; not dramatically, as the front tyres are always called upon to reign in any truly exuberant behavior, but enough to be able to use the throttle to manipulate the F-Pace's handling attitude.
It might not be as seamless or as sophisticated as the best and most advanced four-wheel drive systems, but the F-Pace's drivetrain makes it more involving than its rivals. The tangible amounts of adjustability that it serves up aren't only impressive for a SUV, but it trumps many four-wheel drive sedans and hatchbacks, too.
That's not to say the handling hasn't been compromised by its lofty ride-height, though; at the very limits, when you ask a lot of the F-Pace, it doesn't quite maintain its composure. Large crests taken at speed expose its weight, which is usually so well hidden, and really tight corners do induce a touch more body roll than feels appropriate.
The F-Pace is very impressive to drive though; it's controlled, involving and very fast. Although Jaguar haven't completely defied physics, they've done a fine job of getting close. Will Beaumont

Q We want to move to Scotland from England to be near our daughter. We don't really know which way around to do this: sell our home and move in with our daughter until we find a new home, or try to purchase a property without selling up? We have read that an additional tax LBTT is 4% more on top of the usual LBTT for second homes but ours would only be until we have sold the one in England as the Scottish property would be our permanent residence. If we do have to pay these taxes can we claim any back once we have sold the English property and is there a time limit on this?
A To the uninitiated, LBTT is land and buildings transaction tax which, in Scotland since April 2015, has replaced stamp duty land tax (SDLT) which is now charged only on land and property transactions in England and Northern Ireland. Wales has its own variation in the form of land transaction tax (LTT) which has been run by the Welsh Revenue Authority since April 2018.
In all three systems, if you buy a new home to live in without first selling your former home, you have to pay a higher rate of whichever tax applies. In England, Northern Ireland and Wales, three percentage points are added to the standard rate of SDLT or LTT. So if the standard rate is 2%, for example, then the higher rate due is 5%. In Scotland, however, they do things differently. First you work out the LBTT due at standard rates but – and if the property costs more than £40,000 – you then add an additional dwelling supplement (ADS) which is worked out as 4% of the purchase price (aka "relevant consideration").
So if, say, you bought a house for £250,000, the first £145,000* would be LBTT exempt but the next £105,000 (250,000 minus 145,000) would mean LBTT at a rate of 2% and so a bill of £2,100. But assuming you haven't sold your former home you would have to add to that the ADS of £10,000 (4% of £250,000) making a total bill of £12,100. Provided you sell your former home within 18 months of buying your new home, you can get a refund of the ADS. This is a less generous time limit than that applying in the rest of the UK where you get three years to sell your old home to be eligible to get a refund of the higher rate of SDLT or LTT.
Given the hefty sum you might have to part with to pay the ADS and the tighter deadline for selling your old home, I'd be tempted to sell first and then move to Scotland and find somewhere to buy once you get there. On a practical note, house hunting in situ rather than from a distance is also likely to be more fruitful. Also on a practical note, I'd only move in with your daughter if she has offered to house you; otherwise I'd rent somewhere to live in in the interim.
* The exempt amount is £125,000 in England and Northern Ireland; £180,000 in Wales. The rates charged and the amounts they are charged on also vary between the countries. Find out more about LBTT, LTT and SDLT at the UK government website.

MB Models News, January/February 2020...
...2 new figure sets to start the new year
News from Master Box of 2 new figure sets due out soon. Master Box company continues to work on a new series of kits in 1/35 and 1/24 scales and presents two new kits. One in 1/35, and one in 1/24.
1) 35207 "Danger Close". Special Operations Team, Present Day" – Nowadays the subject of using PMC in hot spots is becoming actual especially, because the governments of leading countries are attracting such units more actively to perform tasks in which the participation of the army or other official structures is unacceptable. It predetermined the choice of the subject for our next kit, as the interest of modellers in the figures of PMC fighters is obvious. Besides, the presence of a lot of models of both military and civilian equipment on the market makes this kit popular especially, as it allows creating a non-standard diorama.
The kit includes parts for assembling four figures of PMC fighters who found themselves in a difficult situation during the mission. The group of the figures represents a highly artistic sculptural composition with a brightly expressed plot, which contains understatement, intrigue and allows you to see the whole story.
The figures can be used greatly both to create a diorama containing only the figures, and to create a diorama by using models of techniques.
The kit is performed in 1/35 scale.
2) 24068 "Modern War Series, kit No. 1. "Our route has been changed!" – Nowadays local conflicts occur in various points of the planet, in which, from time to time, highly professional army units are forced to take part to carry out particularly difficult missions.
The kit contains parts for assembling two figures of servicemen of such an elite unit performing a similar mission in the Middle East and a separate sprue with models of weapons and elements of equipment. These figures are Corporal Jessica Johnson and Sergeant James Haberson. We emphasize that Corporal Jessica Johnson is a woman who has achieved the right to serve in an elite unit.
The figures are made in 1/24 scale, which allowed us to perform all the details with special care and they represent miniature sculptures of high quality. The figures interact with each other greatly, presenting a clear plot, but they can also be used separately to create vignettes or mini-dioramas.
We would emphasize also that the kit contains a separate sprue with models of weapons and elements of equipment of high-quality that are manufactured by ICM.
The kit is performed in 1/24 scale.

BALTIMORE — A half-smile came across the face of Terrell Suggs when asked if the Ravens' season-opening 23-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday reminded him of last season.
It was clear the 12th-year linebacker didn't feel like reminiscing about Baltimore's first non-playoff season under head coach John Harbaugh, but the similarities were there. A poor first-half performance by the offense and a "bend-don't-break" defense failing to finish strong doomed the Ravens on Sunday as it did so many times a season ago when they finished 8-8.
"I don't even want to talk about last year," Suggs said. "If you remember last year, we gave up seven touchdowns in the opener. It's a pretty big difference. It doesn't feel like last year. We just can't give them the big play. Pretty much our big thing coming into this week was to not let one get over our head. We let one get over our head, but it's the NFL. It happens."
The Ravens spent the offseason trying to improve an offense that ranked 29th in the NFL a season ago, adding new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, pass-catching targets Steve Smith and Owen Daniels, and veteran center Jeremy Zuttah. The running game was supposed to be fixed and quarterback Joe Flacco would have more weapons to throw to, which would allow the Ravens to move the ball consistently and with balance.
A defense that lost defensive tackle Arthur Jones and cornerback Corey Graham in free agency would be helped by the improved offensive attack and would not be put in a position when they'd spend too much time on the field with little margin for error.
But Sunday's loss to the Bengals brought the same problems from 2013 as the Ravens were held to zero points and only 97 total yards in the first 30 minutes of play. The Ravens ran for just 23 yards on nine carries, and Flacco completed only 10 of 23 passes for 78 yards while committing what he called "the stupidest play" of his career that sent his team to the locker room trailing 15-0.
With eight seconds remaining in the half and facing third-and-15 from the 15, the Ravens elected to run one more play, which needed to be a quick three-step drop and throw to the end zone — or out of the end zone — to at least save enough time for a field goal try. Instead, the seventh-year quarterback rolled to his right and allowed time to expire before being sacked by Cincinnati's Carlos Dunlap.
Flacco's gaffe was just one of many mistakes made by countless offensive players in the first half, but it seemed an appropriate way to end a miserable 30 minutes of football in which the Ravens had just 9:41 of possession.
"We just played about as bad as you can, in terms of just simple fundamental things," Flacco said. "Throwing, catching, running routes, staying up, just running the ball, couple mental busts. Just fundamental things that you do every day, and it's just part of the routine."
Even with the offense struggling mightily, the Ravens remained in the game thanks to a defense that allowed the Bengals to consistently move the ball before finally tightening up on third down — Cincinnati went 4-for-14 in that department — and holding them to field goals on two trips inside the red zone. It reminded of last season when the defense would stretch and stretch and stretch before making plays when needed to to keep the Ravens in the game.
But the defense also followed the 2013 fourth-quarter script of allowing the big play after Flacco connected with Steve Smith on an 80-yard touchdown to put the Ravens ahead 16-15 with 5:46 remaining in the game. Less than a minute later, defensive coordinator Dean Pees sent nickel back Asa Jackson on the blitz — the defense was unable to provide much pressure throughout the game — but Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton recognized it and threw deep to wide receiver A.J. Green, who beat cornerback Chykie Brown in 1-on-1 coverage for a 77-yard touchdown.
It was the big play the Ravens surrendered too many critical times last season and another example of the defense failing to make a big fourth-quarter stop when needed. And the deciding touchdown washed away what was an acceptable — but not stellar — effort from a unit playing without starting cornerback Lardarius Webb.
"It was kind of a bend-don't-break philosophy," cornerback Jimmy Smith said. "We were trying to figure out the new scheme they had in. They threw a lot of new things at us, the zone read and all of that. We didn't let them get in the end zone until the end when we let that play get away from us."
Yes, the "half-full" outlook would point to the 16 points and 323 total yards the Ravens offense produced in the second half. The running game even got going in the final two quarters as veteran Justin Forsett — replacing the benched Bernard Pierce — rushed for 70 yards and a 13-yard score for the first touchdown of the season to put the Ravens on the board.
But the skeptic will hear the same song as last season with an offense that had little balance and took more than two quarters to finally wake up — and still dropped too many passes in the second half — and a defense that couldn't finish the job at crunch time.
As the Ravens learned all too well in 2013, there are no moral victories in the NFL.
"It's tough to look at it too many ways other than the fact that we lost the game," Flacco said. "Overall, we didn't play well. As a player, you don't look for good things in losses. It was a bad day."
The good news is the Ravens won't have time to dwell on their season-opening defeat as they must immediately turn their attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a Thursday night game back at M&T Bank Stadium. But they know they'll need a more complete effort to avoid an 0-2 start in the AFC North as the Bengals and Steelers are already a game ahead in the division.
Yes, the Ravens led late in the fourth quarter and were in position to win the game, but they played too poorly for too long to reasonably expect to prevail.
"We all could've done something better today," Suggs said. "We dropped one. It's a long season and hopefully this won't prevent us from doing what we want to do later on in the year."
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Too many shades of 2013 as Ravens fall flat in Week 1 loss to Bengals
Must Read
BALTIMORE — A half-smile came across the face of Terrell Suggs when asked if the Ravens' season-opening 23-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday reminded him of last season.
Luke, overall a very disappointing performance. Plenty of blame to go around. Too many dropped balls, and even Justin Tucker couldn't make a 55 yard field goal. We could be in for another long year. I read a statistic last week that said only about 25% of teams who lose their first game of the season go on to make the playoffs.
What a huge steaming pile of crap that was! What a wasted day, this team looks disjointed in so many areas it's hard to just focus on one. I'm afraid this will be another season where we will be lucky for a 500 campaign, thankful the O's are doing B'more proud cause these Ravens forget to come to the game!
If it takes you almost 3 qtrs. to score you don't deserve to win, plain & simple !!! Didn't Flacco say we are going to score a lot of points with this new offense, give me a break, same old, same old, looks like another long year !!!
Yesterday was disappointing to say the least, but "another long year"? Really? We're just over a year away from a Super Bowl victory.

Food Shortages Hit China: There Is "not…enough fresh food to go around"• Organic Prepper - Robert Wheeler
Over the past few weeks, I have been writing articles regarding a coming food shortage. I've been pointing out that the food shortage is going to hit the United States hard but that it is also going to hit the rest of the world.
A worldwide fit of hysteria over COVID, resulting in the shutdown of the world's economy, interruption of the supply chain, and the destruction of food products, as well as international trade wars and natural disasters, are going to collide with one another and make this winter one of the toughest on record.
China is publicly acknowledging a coming food shortage.
But while many have dismissed my claims, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that China is now publicly acknowledging a coming food shortage. (And as noted in this article, when they admit there's a problem, it's a BIG problem. ) In fact, China even has an anti-food-wasting campaign going on across the country right this minute encouraging people to eat half portions or at least make sure to finish their plates.
In an October 5, article for the New York Times entitled "China's mealtime appeal amid food supply worries: Don't take more than you can eat," Eva Dou writes,
On the surface, China's campaign to encourage mealtime thrift has been a cheerful affair, with soldiers, factory workers and schoolchildren shown polishing their plates clean of food.
But behind the drive is a harsh reality. China does not have enough fresh food to go around — and neither does much of the world.
The pandemic and extreme weather have disrupted agricultural supply chains, leaving food prices sharply higher in countries as diverse as Yemen, Sudan, Mexico and South Korea. The United Nations warned in June that the world is on the brink of its worst food crisis in 50 years.
"It's scary and it's overwhelming," Arif Husain, chief economist of the United Nations World Food Program, said in an interview. "I don't think we have seen anything like this ever."

Notes and Rules Information for Ugin's Conjurant:
- To cast Ugin's Conjurant, first choose the value for X you'd like, then apply any cost increases, then any cost reductions. The number of counters it enters with may be different than the amount of mana you pay if an effect (such as that of Ugin, the Ineffable) causes that you pay an amount of mana other than {X}. (2019-05-03)
- If Ugin's Conjurant would be dealt more damage than it has counters, you remove all of the +1/+1 counters it has on it and prevent all of that damage. If another effect is raising its toughness, it will survive until the next time it's dealt lethal damage. (2019-05-03)

Tallulah Willis, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter, recently posted a photo to her Instagram page that shows her parents and sisters quarantining together.
The photo shows them in matching white pajamas with green stripes.
Willis and Moore share three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. However, the couple's eldest daughter, Rumer, does not appear in the photo Tallulah shared on Instagram.
Only Willis, Moore, Scout, and Tallulah's boyfriend, Dillon Buss, appear in the photo presumably snapped by Tallulah.
The family's dog also appears in matching green-striped pajama.
Demi Moore later posted a photo that showed her, Willis, and their three daughters together (scroll down to see photos).
Tallulah is quarantining with her parents and sisters
Tallulah responded to a comment by an Instagram follower that the entire family quarantining together violated social distancing rules by explaining that they chose to quarantine together.
She added that they'd been living together for nearly a month while taking precautions.
"Hi! We made the choice to quarantine together and have been together for 27 days taking every precaution. Please stay inside and wash your hands! :)."
Tallulah also later posted a video showing her dad, Bruce Willis, shaving her head. As Tallulah checks out her look in the mirror, someone can be heard saying, "You look like Joan of Arc, dude!"
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore stayed friends after divorce
Willis, 65, and Moore, 57, married in 1987.
They divorced in 2000 but remained on good terms with each other. Moore married Ashton Kutcher in 2005, but they split in 2013, according to ET Online.
Bruce Willis is presently married to actress and model Emma Heming Willis (2009), and they share two daughters, Mabel, 8, and Evelyn, 5.
Emma and her kids are not quarantining with Bruce and Demi, but she has been reacting to Demi's family photos with comments showing support.
Who is Tallulah Willis?
Tallulah Willis was born in Los Angeles, California, in February 1994. She is the third and youngest daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis.
She attended the Univerity of San Francisco but dropped out in her freshman year.
Tallulah is known for her roles in The Whole Ten Yards (2004), Bandits (2001), and The Scarlet Letter (1995).
She has talked openly about her body image and self-esteem issues in the past.
She also struggled with alcohol and substance abuse.
She started drinking when she was only 14 years old and suffered a nearly fatal alcohol poisoning at 15. She entered rehab in July 2014 after her parents "gave her an ultimatum."

3 years ago I was a malnourished string bean with aches that echoed throughout my soul. However the internal cries to tend my most blistered and deep wounds repeatedly fell on deaf ears. I did not value myself, my life or my body and as such I was constantly punishing for not being enough. Self annihilation fueled with medicating left me a shell, and the world on mute. I was hoisted from my hole, (one so deep I was certain we were nearing the Earths magma core) on the backs of powerful human beings that I will forever be indebted too, and on that day my life was gifted back to me. I love the girl in this picture, I cry for her and I mourn her lost years. She is inside of me always and I must never let her slip too far. I don't push any agenda, I can only speak for my path and staying sober has been far and beyond the most important thing I've done in my wee 23 years. 🎉🎂🎈
She opted to shave her head in 2014 and surprised her fans by posting photos showing off her new look on Instagram in November 2014.
Her older sister, Rumer, also posted a video showing the then-20-year-old using an electric razor to shave her head herself.
Tallulah's shaved head appears to be inspired by her mom, Demi Moore, who shaved her head for her role as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil in the 1997 movie G.I. Jane.

Many major cities of the world face challenges arising from growing and urbanizing populations, a changing climate, and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. Existing centralized water services, operating at, or close to, full capacity, are not sufficient to cope with the associated increase in water demand.Replacing the entire centralized infrastructure is very difficult within the existing environmental and economic constraints. Water services can be provided through the integration of decentralized and centralized systems, which are referred to herein as hybrid water supply systems.This Special Issue presents 12 papers encompassing various aspects including challenges and experiences associated with innovations in urban water cycle management. These papers straddle physical and policy research on implementation topics. Five papers fall in the area of systems modelling, two papers deal with design criteria issues of new and modified systems, one paper is of an experimental nature and another focuses on the impact of urban systems on the estuarine environment, while two papers deal with policy and risks. The papers included in this Special Issue emanated from a large number of submissions that were subjected to a thorough peer-review process. For this effort, we thank all the authors and reviewers that have contributed to this endeavour.

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the most popular alternative water source in many urban, peri-urban, and rural areas. Although rainwater is fresh in nature, it gets polluted from atmospheric contaminants, roof catchments, and the RWH system itself. The research questions which are the most relevant to RWH system include the optimum rainwater tank size for a given location and set of users, water quality from a RWH system, financial viability of a RWH system, and state regulations on the use of water from a RWH system. You are invited to submit a technical paper to this Special Issue of Water on these aspects of a RWH system.

Primarily as a response to increasing flood, impacts, the Chinese Central Government launched a program to implement the Sponge City Concept in selected pilot cities across China in 2013. As a result, the Sponge City Concept is gaining ground and becoming more and more accepted by city governments. The first best practices of the pilot cities are being shared, and international exchange activities between research institutions and cities are providing guidance on the design and implementation of new concepts and technologies. However, there are still many technical, institutional, and socio-economic challenges ahead that hamper wider uptake and up-scaling in China. While the Sponge City Concept is new, the approaches and technologies involved in it, and therefore related challenges and opportunities, have been tried out in many different parts of the globe under the guise of terminologies such as water sensitive cities, Sustainable Drainage Systems, low-impact development, and ABC waters. This book aims to capture a selection of these experiences from China, as well as from other countries in both the developed and developing world, and draws lessons from these experiences relevant to the Sponge City Concept.

Global population growth is urban growth and, therefore, most of the water-related challenges and solutions reside in cities. Unless water management and water governance processes are significantly improved within the next decade or so, cities are likely to face serious and prolonged water insecurity, urban floods, and/or heat stress, which may result in social instability and, ultimately, massive migration. Aging water infrastructure, one of the most expensive infrastructures in cities, is a relevant challenge in order to address Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: clean water and sanitation, SDG 11: sustainable cities and communities, and SDG 13: climate action. The choice of good governance arrangements has important consequences for economic performance, for the well-being of citizens, and for the quality of life in urban areas. The better governance arrangements work in coordinating policies across jurisdictions and policy fields, the better the outcomes. Rapidly-changing global conditions will make future water governance more complex than ever before in human history, and expectations are that water governance and water management will change more during the next 20 years compared to the past 100 years. In this Special Issue of Water, the focus will be on practical concepts and tools for water management and water governance, with a focus on cities.

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has become a global paradigm for the governance of surface, coastal and groundwaters. This Special Issue contains twelve articles related to the transfer of IWRM policy principles. The articles explore three dimensions of transfer—causes, processes, outcomes—and offer a theoretically inspiring, methodologically rich and geographically diverse engagement with IWRM policy transfer around the globe. As such, they can also productively inform a future research agenda on the 'dimensional' aspects of IWRM governance. Regarding the causes, the contributions apply, criticise, extend or revise existing approaches to policy transfer in a water governance context, asking why countries adopt IWRM principles and what mechanisms are in place to understand the adoption of these principles in regional or national contexts. When it comes to processes, articles in this Special Issue unpack the process of policy transfer and implementation and explore how IWRM principles travel across borders, levels and scales. Finally, this set of papers looks into the outcomes of IWRM policy transfer and asks what impact IWRM principles, once implemented, gave on domestic water governance, water quality and water supply, and how effective IWRM is at addressing critical water issues in specific countries.

This republished Special Issue highlights recent and emergent concepts and approaches to water governance that re-centers the political in relation to water-related decision making, use, and management. To do so at once is to focus on diverse ontologies, meanings and values of water, and related contestations regarding its use, or its importance for livelihoods, identity, or place-making. Building on insights from science and technology studies, feminist, and postcolonial approaches, we engage broadly with the ways that water-related decision making is often depoliticized and evacuated of political content or meaning—and to what effect. Key themes that emerged from the contributions include the politics of water infrastructure and insecurity; participatory politics and multi-scalar governance dynamics; politics related to emergent technologies of water (bottled or packaged water, and water desalination); and Indigenous water governance.

Recently, growing interest in the use of remote sensing imagery has appeared to provide synoptic maps of water quality parameters in coastal and inner water ecosystems;, monitoring of complex land ecosystems for biodiversity conservation; precision agriculture for the management of soils, crops, and pests; urban planning; disaster monitoring, etc. However, for these maps to achieve their full potential, it is important to engage in periodic monitoring and analysis of multi-temporal changes. In this context, very high resolution (VHR) satellite-based optical, infrared, and radar imaging instruments provide reliable information to implement spatially-based conservation actions. Moreover, they enable observations of parameters of our environment at greater broader spatial and finer temporal scales than those allowed through field observation alone. In this sense, recent very high resolution satellite technologies and image processing algorithms present the opportunity to develop quantitative techniques that have the potential to improve upon traditional techniques in terms of cost, mapping fidelity, and objectivity. Typical applications include multi-temporal classification, recognition and tracking of specific patterns, multisensor data fusion, analysis of land/marine ecosystem processes and environment monitoring, etc. This book aims to collect new developments, methodologies, and applications of very high resolution satellite data for remote sensing. The works selected provide to the research community the most recent advances on all aspects of VHR satellite remote sensing.

PANAMA CITY — Summer is usually a time when students relax and aren't doing schoolwork, but for some here it was a second chance at graduating.
Summer program students celebrated in their caps and gowns on Tuesday during a graduation ceremony at the Bay District Schools board meeting. The program gave a second chance at graduation for students who didn't meet the graduation requirements in May.
"I feel like it's a great opportunity for everyone to catch up," said Beau Berkhout, one of the graduates. "It's an amazing opportunity for me and everyone else to get our diplomas. (The summer school experience) was very short. It was just me behind a computer screen."
Summer graduates posed for pictures with school district officials and earned applause when they received their diplomas. Jennifer Jennings, graduation pathways coach for the school district, said the program lasted less than a month. Twenty-four students met the requirements for summer graduation and 13 participated in the graduation ceremony on Tuesday.
"This year (the program was) especially short because we are going back to school earlier, so the students didn't have as much time to complete their work, so it was more of a challenge this year," Jennings said. "It was an online curriculum. The students participate in online learning through a program called Edgenuity and then we have teachers hired from the district that are running that program behind the scenes and offering that support. We also had a lab open Monday through Thursday from 8 until 2 o'clock to provide that additional support."
The students will be afforded opportunities now that they are high school graduates, Jennings said.
"It keeps them from having to come back to high school for a fifth year when they're ready to be grown-ups," Jennings said. "They're ready to get on with their lives, so to me it's a significant program because it gives them a chance to be with their peers and do what their peers are doing at this time."
The summer graduates are already considering what comes next. Shane Wellman wants to serve in the Army as a military police officer.
"I feel successful. I feel good about myself," Wellman said. "Everyone's proud. Everyone's feeling good. Everyone's happy."
As for Berkhout, music is calling his name.
"Since I have a music career in the works my plan is to travel, try to get the most musical opportunities I can with record labels, try to get my music out there," Berkhout said.

Electrochemistry Basics
From simple batteries to the PEM fuel cell
If one sticks a copper plate and a zinc plate side by side into a lemon and connects both metal plates with a cable, this "lemon battery" can be used to operate a small motor. Therefore, the metals which have been placed in the lemon must produce a voltage. In a closed circuit that causes electric current flow. But, where does this electrical energy come from?
In this course, students will examine the function of different batteries, rechargeable galvanic cells ("accumulator"), especially of fuel-cells, and they will test the efficiency of different fuel-cell types.
- Electrochemical series of metals
- Standard hydrogen electrode
- DANIELL-element
- Concentration element
- Zinc-Bromine or Zinc-Iodine accumulator
- Fuel cells

Indigenous peoples occupied areas along the river for thousands of years. In historic times, the area of present-day Waco was occupied by the Wichita Native American group known as the "Waco" (Spanish: Hueco or Huaco). In 1824 Thomas M. Duke explored the area and reported to Stephen F. Austin, describing the Waco village: "This town is situated on the West Bank of the River. They have a spring almost as cold as ice itself. All we want is some Brandy and Sugar to have Ice Toddy. They have about 400 acres (1.6 km2) planted in corn, beans, pumpkins, and melons and that tended in good order. I think they cannot raise more than One Hundred Warriors." After Austin aborted the first attempt to destroy their village in 1825, he made a treaty with them. The Waco eventually moved out of the region, settling north near present-day Fort Worth. In 1872 they joined other Wichita tribes on a reservation in Oklahoma. In 1902 the Waco received allotments of land and became official US citizens. Neil McLennan settled in an area near the South Bosque River in 1838.[6] Jacob De Cordova bought McLennan's property[7] and hired a former Texas Ranger and surveyor named George B. Erath to inspect the area.[8] In 1849, Erath designed the first block of the city. Property owners wanted to name the city Lamartine, but Erath convinced them to name the area Waco Village, in honor of the Native Americans who had lived there.[9] In March 1849, Shapley Ross built the first house in Waco, a double-log cabin, on a bluff overlooking the springs. His daughter Kate was the first white child to be born in Waco.

Barbara Princic became winner of the prestigious Golden A' Design Award
Como, Italy, April 21, 2016 /DESIGNPRWIRE/
A' Design Award is pleased to announce that the project 5X5 by Barbara Princic has been honored with the notable Golden A' Design Award at Lighting Products and Lighting Projects Design Competition Category.
Lighting Products and Lighting Projects Design Competition Golden A' Design Award Winner
A' Design Award and Competition is delighted to announce that the work 5x5 by Barbara Princic, designer and Mr. Miran Drac, technologist has been announced as a winner of the notable Golden A' Design Award in Lighting Products and Lighting Projects Design Category picked as a winner by the respected referees of the A' Design Awards & Competitions among numerous submitted works.
More information on 5x5
Barbara Princic, the creator of the winning lighting project 5x5 says "The story about the 5x5 LED lamp comes together with the 5x5 chair introduced and awarded previous year. The chair's unique material characteristic required tiles' dimensions of approximately 5x5 cm. Therefore the same dimensions were the starting point for the lamp. In order to avoid the direct form's repetition the 5x5 cm is applied in a form of rhombus, the main modular structure part of the lamp. Several lamps mounted together offer the possibility to create different lighting patterns like zig-zag, diagonal line, the shape of an arrow, or other shapes by using designer's own creativity."
