The Ming Dynasty ruled China for around 300 years, from 1368 until the Manchu conquest in 1644 (founding the Qing Dynasty). The Ming have traditionally been held as one of the high points of China's long history, Chinese art and literature flourished, the government reinvigorated the ancient system of civil service examinations to seek new talent and great trading voyages that drew tribute from as far away as Africa.
By the game's start in 1444, however, these merchant adventures have stopped and China has turned inward. The scientific progress of the Song Dynasty has slowed, and the rise of an anti-trade faction of bureaucrats has weakened the power of the eunuchs that championed this expansion. As will be found, managing these factions will be one of the great tests for players as a Chinese ruler.
Strategically, Ming is in a good position. Holding the entirety of the extremely populous Chinese region, it has more provinces and basetax than any country in the world, with no major rival that poses a immediate threat. However, its provinces are administered with high autonomy by the celestial empire government, severely limiting the manpower and tax income available to the emperor. While the Jurchen and Mongol hordes are fractured for the moment, given enough time, unified horde armies can pose an existential threat to Ming.
In addition to rising threats to the north, Ming's has serious internal issues. The high autonomy limits income and manpower, while the Chinese bureaucracy further hinders everything from heir succession to army discipline to trade efficiency, which can only be partially negated by manipulating court factions. The Ming dynasty's right to rule over China, like all previous dynasties, is dependant on the mandate of heaven, losing it due to weak successions or lack of stability will cause terrifying rebellions to rise up and destroy Ming.

Ming's unique challenges[edit]
Ming has a unique government form called Celestial Empire, reflecting the Chinese belief that a well-governed kingdom was evidence of divine sanction and blessing, whereas a poorly governed or tyrannical one was evidence that the Emperor could be deposed.
The Celestial Empire gives a 10% discount to the cost of increasing stability, and as long as Ming is not in negative stability and the ruler has a decent legitimacy, they gain the Mandate of Heaven, which further gives a 10% discount to stability cost, and a 5 point reduction in unrest.
This system is in delicate balance, however. If stability drops below 0 or legitimacy drops below 60, Ming gets the punishing Mandate of Heaven Lost modifier, which causes +50% stability costs and a +5% unrest. This means a sudden 10% increase in unrest, which can utterly devastate Ming.
The celestial empire also imposes a minimum 50% local autonomy on all its provinces, this means only 50% of tax, manpower and trading power is available to Ming, combined with other maluses from different cultures and the Chinese bureaucracy, often only 10% of a province's tax and manpower is available for Ming.
There is a way for Ming to reform and remove these crushing inefficiencies, that is to seek contact with Europeans, and westernize the country. Upon finishing westernisation, not only does Ming get the western tech group, it also loses the Celestial Empire government and the Chinese bureaucracy modifier.
Three factions compete for power and influence in the Ming Empire, each with a governing focus:
- The Bureaucrats on government administration
- The Eunuchs focus on trade, diplomacy & naval affairs
- The Temple' faction on military affairs
Ming is affected by penalties because of its sprawling Chinese bureaucracy; dependent on the dominant faction is in power, some of these penalties can be reduced or reversed.
The faction and government system ceases when Ming westernizes, and the country transforms into a feudal monarchy.
Eunuch Faction[edit]
If the Eunuch Faction is dominant, it removes the penalties on trade, diplomacy and advisor cost. Full list of effects:
- Global trade power: +25%
- National trade income modifier: +25%
- Advisor costs: -50%
- Diplomatic relations: +2
Temple Faction[edit]
If the Temple Faction is dominant, it offsets penalties associated with war and peacemaking such as penalties to troop discipline, army forcelimits, diplomatic cost of unjustified demands in a peace treaty, and manpower recovery. Since the Temple Faction provides no relief from the financial penalties of Chinese bureaucracy, it is a wise to accumulate a large war chest in peacetime to sustain the empire while at war. Military power is needed to strengthen their influence.
Full list of effects:
- Manpower recovery speed: +25%
- Land forcelimits modifier: +25%
- Monthly war exhaustion: -0.05
- Discipline: +10%
- Unjustified demands: -25%
Bureaucrat Faction[edit]
If the Bureaucrat Faction is dominant, it removes the penalties on tax income, the cost of buildings, the cost of increasing stability, and the price of units, in addition to increasing the chance of producing an heir. This makes it advantageous to implement a large building program by saving up funds and Monarch Power and switch to Bureaucrat rule to initiate construction. Administrative power is used to boost their influence.
Full list of effects:
- Build cost: -50%
- National tax modifier: +25%
- Possible advisors: +1
- Increased chance of new heir: +25%
- Religious unity: +25%
Ever since the Han Emperors the people of Dai Vet have recognized the mandate from heaven that the great Emperor has. It is time to remind them once again.
The Japanese have invaded Korea and are threatening to turn the Southern tip of the peninsula into a base for their hated Wokou pirates. We must ensure that they do not gain a foothold.
The island of Taiwan is sparsely populated by uncivilized savages, we should open these lands up for Chinese settlement.
This mission is also available to the Manchu.
The sacred Black River, although we have tales that some uncivilized peoples call it the Amur River, is a fitting frontier for us. We should establish settlements to advance our frontier.
This mission is also available to the Manchu.
Although most people seem content with the explanation that our silks go off to barbarian lands some of our more curious eunuchs wish to know more. They are asking for support to send an expedition to this India place.
Considering that Ming already knows of India in 1444, this mission is mostly unobtainable.
- Main article: Ming events
The events for Ming China are a mixture of religious, reformation, and political events, from "The Arrival of Jesuits" to "The Closure of China" and "Qi Jiguang's Army Reforms". They will affect the country in many diverse ways, bringing factions in and out of favor and adding extra flavor.
Ming shares its decisions with Manchu.
Parts of the Great Wall are in dire need of extensive repair. In its current state it doesn't offer sufficient protection for our northern provinces.
|Potential Requirements
The Forbidden City will be a glorious national monument, increasing our prestige and promoting stability.
|Potential Requirements
Ming is a Celestial Empire, a unique government type that has a severe malus of 50% autonomy on all its provinces, and possesses unique mechanics, like the Factions mechanics and the Mandate of Heaven modifiers.
The Chinese bureaucracy modifier has negative modifers related to army, trade and taxation. Manipulating different factions to power can negate one of those aspects, for example, with the temple faction in power, Ming receives no military maluses, but is punished on trade and taxation. As only one faction can be in power at once, it is important to adjust the factions to suit current needs, eunuchs or bureaucrats for peacetime, Temple for wartime is the general guideline.
The 50% minimum autonomy limits Ming to only receiving half of the tax and manpower its provinces can provide, as the modifiers are additive, combined with the 15% penalty for different culture (but same group) and the 25% penalty from Chinese bureaucracy, Ming would often only receive 10% of the taxes and manpower from its most valuable provinces, like the Yangtze delta region.
It is strongly suggested to westernise as soon as possible, without westernising, Ming is limited to a paltry 50000 manpower due to high local autonomy. While this is sufficient to deter any aggressors in the early game, the unified Manchu and Mongol hordes from the north can field armies just as large but much superior in quality, posing serious threats to Ming.
Understanding when to switch faction control is crucial to avoiding the penalties associated with Chinese bureaucracy. Earlier in the game, should Ming be drawn into a war, it is advised to have the Temples faction in power. Without them, Ming gets penalties to discipline and morale that will render its troops unable to beat enemy armies half their size (especially against dangerous hordes), unless offset by superior Ming leadership or military technology. The Temples faction also reduces the diplomatic power cost for pressing for unjustified demands.
The Bureaucrats faction deal with national maintenance and building construction costs. Should the Ming ruler have no heir, it is crucial to keep the Bureaucrats in power, as they offset the penalty to the chance of getting an heir. This is crucial as the consequences of the ruler dying heirless can be more severe for Ming than other countries, because a low-legitimacy successor taking the throne can cause the Mandate of Heaven to be lost, penalizing Ming with a sudden 10% increase in unrest, often causing irrecoverable devastation.
Besides the aforementioned situations, deciding on factions is a matter of long-term orientation, and should be adjusted according to the difficulties facing the coutnry.
The Mandate of Heaven[edit]
The Mandate of Heaven is a triggered modifier, providing a significant reduction to national revolt risk and a minor reduction to stability costs. It is maintained provided the country has stability zero or greater and the ruler has legitimacy 60 or greater. Should these conditions not be met, the 'Mandate of Heaven' modifier is lost and in addition, the 'Mandate of Heaven Lost' modifier is triggered. The 'Mandate of Heaven Lost' modifier ups unrest and stability cost significantly, all the while penalizing national tax income. Hence the player should be wary of an heir lacking a strong claim succeeding the throne and destabilizing events. While a problematic succession can cause problems for any country, the significance of the 'Mandate of Heaven' means the problems for the Celestial Empire are relatively much worse. An effective swing of +10% unrest can result in waves of rebellions across the Empire.
The choice of Ming's first National Idea Group is dependent on the player's game plan.
If Ming is seeking to expand and colonize, then the Exploration group should be first choice. With the Philippines and Oceanic islands to the south and Siberia to the North (assuming horde nations have been dealt with first), Ming has a lot of choice in regions to colonize. Recruiting explorers and exploring Africa, Europe and eventually the Americas will also put Ming in a good position to Westernize. The Expansion group isn't nearly as useful as Exploration, because it does not give Ming the ability to go through Africa or America and meet westerners at an early date.
If the player does not wish to take exploration as his first idea, then an early military idea group is important for Ming in defending or conquering the Oirat Horde or the Manchu tribes. Defensive and Quantity are good choices, as Ming has limited manpower despite its size and income, more troops and enemy attrition provided by the ideas is ideal for a drawn-out war with the hordes. With a military orientation, Ming can take out the fractured northen hordes before they unify and start being a serious threat. Once the hordes are finished, Ming has ample time to prepare for contact with westerners and the inevitable westernisation.
The Religious idea group is also very helpful, providing a free casus belli against Ming's non-Confucian neighbours (of which there are many), and allowing easier conversion of Sunni provinces. The final bonus to improved relations over time is also beneficial if Ming is aggressively attacking its neighbours. The "inquisition" idea (+2% Missionary strength vs heretics), combined with the +3 % from 'divine supremacy', is very helpful in converting Southern China's Buddhist provinces and in extension the provinces in South East Asia.
The Innovative idea group has a number of events that provide monarch power and can be helpful in keeping Ming technologically on track, should Ming choose not to Westernize. However, if Ming does seek to Westernize, then the benefits of an early Innovative idea group are wasted as they do not help in holding Ming at least 8 technologies behind a Western power. However, it may be worth considering in the later game.
While being the largest nation in the world, Ming does not have the luxury of picking wars at will, while southern and Tibetian nations don't pose a threat, their tropical and mountainous terrain can drain Ming's precious manpower. Moreover, Ming's most dangerous enemies are the hordes that lie to the north, the Oirat and the Jurchen (manchu) tribes.
There are 3 Jurchen tribes in the northeast of China, while all formidable enemies on their own, they do not pose a serious threat to Ming. If they manage to unify themselves, however, they become a dangerous enemy ready to strike Ming at moments notice. It is very important to take them out while they are still fractured, but don't be overzealous because other hordes will prey on a Ming with depleted manpower
The Oirat are more difficult to cripple than the Manchu due to the Oirats starting with a very strong general and Mongolia as its vassal, its provinces are numerous but very poor, making attrition severe in their territory. It would be wise to wait out their starting general, and wait for improvements in military technology to alleviate the attrition before making moves. As they are Buddhist and of Altaic culture, with Ming's 50% autonomy their provinces are close to useless, so unless they are expanding at a dangerous rate, it is not profitable to attack them
Tibetian states
Tibetian states are fractured, poor, mountainous states, and remain very weak without much potential for expansion, usually fielding no more than 6 units. Their provinces are also worthless to China before westernisation. Tibet usually cannot be peacefully vassalized due to high border friction and neighbouring heretic religion modifiers.
Korea can field a decent sized army and navy (approximately 15 units and 20 ships, more if they have taken territory from Manchu). By themselves, Korea is no threat to Ming, however they tend to ally with Oirat or any of the Manchu tribes. Korea usually cannot be peacefully vassalized due to its high base tax. If Ming does not ally or annex Korea for a long time, Japan may unify and attack Korea.
A fully unified Japan is capable of fielding up to 35 units and 35 ships. They may or may not have allies. Given Japan's high discipline, morale and combat ability, direct land conflict is very dangerous if Ming is not westernised. It is much easier to win wars by sieging western islands of Japan and block the straits with ships to prevent Japanese troops from attacking your sieging units (Ming can field up to 60-70 ships).
Dai Viet
It is possible to immediately declare war on Dai Viet by taking the mission, "Restore the old frontier". However, due to the high coring costs of Dai Viet, the player would often lack adm points to core them, diplo-annexing poses a similar problem. As with other different-culture different religion provinces, their provinces are not useful to Ming pre-westernisation.
Southeast Asian Nations
These nations can be peacefully vassalized (except for Champa as it is Hindu and Ayutthaya as it is too large) and present very little threat to Ming. They are easy expansion opportunities.
By taking expansion or exploration ideas, Ming is capable of colonizing eastern Siberia, South Asia and even the west coast of the New World. If Ming decides to take territory from Oirat, it is possible to cut off Muscovy/Russian expansion (see Oirat section above).
If the player wants to prioritise westernising, there are two routes for doing so. 1. Island hop from South East Asia to Ceylon to East Africa to West Africa, establish a few provinces in West Africa, and wait for colonisers to colonise a provinces there. Note that due to map changes, it is no longer possible to meet Iberian nations in western Sahara. If colonisation in western africa doesn't happen quick enough, the player can colonise Brazil from western africa and meet western countries there.
2. Cut a route through Manchuria, and conquer the Siberian tribes in the north, this provides a very short route to Alaska. From then on, hop downwards to the Panama region, and gain access to the Atlantic ocean. From them on, finding a province next to colonisers is very easy.
- Main article: westernization
Due to Ming's large income, westernisation only progresses at 5 power per month, meaning westernising takes several decades. Since Ming suffers from 'mandate of heaven lost' when westernising, this represents an cumulative 15 unrest increase, extremely dangerous for an unprepared player. It is advisable to convert different religion provinces, take the humanism idea, cripple the northern hordes, and do everything possible to lower unrest before trying westernisation.
While westernising is not essential for other Asian nations, it is crucial for Ming due to its unique and extremely severe maluses that could only be lost through westernising, without westernisation, conquest yields little return for Ming, and it can only play defensively for the rest of the game. However, if westernised, Ming will be able to fully utilize its power as the largest nation in the world. It is capable of challenging a full-sized Russia directly, or crushing all opposition in Asia and ensuring colonial dominance in the region. There is little if any challenge for Ming post-westernisation.
Other tactics[edit]
It may be better to 'Denounce Neo-Confucianism' over accepting it to gain the extra missionary strength.

I really have no intent on doing this, it just popped into my mind while playing with BeerSmith this morning. Let's say one really needed to make more than five gallons for an event, occasion, etc. They only have room, equipment, etc. for a single five gallon setup. The recipe is made up to make a beer with say 1.086 OG. They choose a yeast based on great attenuation of high gravity beers. The beer ferments out to maybe 1.011 and they get ready to bottle. Now, since they need more than five gallons, but couldn't do a larger batch, they add water to the bottling bucket.....two gallons with the priming sugar and 2.5 gallons of the high gravity beer, and then do the same with the other half to come up with nine gallons from a five gallon brew day.
Would this result in terrible beer, ok beer, beer? Inquiring minds want to know.

If I recall correctly alot of the big BMC type breweries do this to maximize product output without increasing the primary fermenting vessel.
On a homebrew scale Im not sure about the maximum amount of dilution you can use, your example is talking about almost doubling your batch size. I would say that if you added up to 25% you would be fine without the beer tasting 'watered down'. But you have to look at other things than just gravity – IBUs, color, etc.
If the intention is to double (or at least increase by some factor, say, 1.5x ??) the output of the fermenter, then perhaps you could mash/steep (not sure of proper terms here, as I'm currently an extract-only brewer) some rice, corn, oats, or wheat in another kettle with 5 gallon of water.
Let that cool, then mix 50/50 (or 75/25, whatever) in the bottling bucket.
I started a thread about how BMC brewed such consistent beers. Consistent process + Reliable Taste Testers + Rice Adjuncts + Lots of Water + Blending the Off Batches = BMC CONSISTENCY
One potential issue is that a high gravity beer has a little different fermentation characteristics. Some yeast cant handle the high alcohol. It could take longer for the beer to mellow (but then again maybe if you dilute it after fermentation that could be perceived as mellowing).
As KPR noted, this is something that the big boys do to increase output.
You need to ensure your initial beer is balanced when diluted to the larger volume (IBUs, sweet malts, FG, etc).
The other issue is that you really need to control the fermentation temperature and keep it as low as you can for the yeast to work. Big beers are more prone to produce higher alcohols, that are part of the profile, but would be very harsh in a 'thinner' beer. Also, higher gravity beers create a disproportionate amount of esters (yeast flavors) that would make a 'thinner' beer taste strange. From everything I have read, if you double the OG, you get 4X the esters, so when you dilute the beer you get more than you would with a standard beer. If making a fruity Belgian you might prefer it, but for Pale Ales, it is just going to be out of place.
I have thought of doing it for a Belgian, fermenting high, to try and get more yeast flavors in a smaller beer, but haven't tried it yet.
i've also read you have to do something to the water you add or it'll oxidize the brew... boil and cool it maybe? i don't actually know though

A closer look at what the Bureau of Energy Management decision on offshore seismic testing means. In Local
Federal regulators promise to keep a close watch over potential disruptions to whales, dolphins and other marine species if deafening air-gun blasts are allowed offshore to test for natural gas or oil.
But the concessions to protect the animals, made in a Bureau of Energy Management final environmental report, don't satisfy conservationists who wanted tougher restrictions and are alarmed over the potential consequences of exploration off shore from Delaware to Florida.
The issue strikes at the heart of Lowcountry life on the ocean. Nine companies have applied for permits to explore for oil and natural gas along all or part of the Southeast coast, if the region is opened to leasing in 2017. Exploration can cost $4 million or more. All the companies want to use seismic blasts and all want to look off South Carolina, even though geology and earlier testing suggest there is little exploitable oil or natural gas to be found.
Debate in the Lowcountry has been loud over whether the ocean is more valuable as a tourism or industry resource, or whether the two can coexist.
BOEM in August put off a final decision whether to open leasing, with no deadline given for when the decision might be made. On Thursday, Director Tommy Beaudreau suggested the information learned from the exploration would be valuable to future management of the deep off the Continental Shelf.
Conservationists, who had called for BOEM to delay the environmental findings until the latest round came in on the federal research into the effects of noise on marine mammals, weren't mollified.
"By failing to consider relevant science, the Obama administration's decision could be a death sentence for many marine mammals, and needlessly turning the Atlantic Ocean into a blast zone," said Jacqueline Savitz, vice president for U.S. Oceans at Oceana.
Industry advocates offered a measured approval of the decision. A National Ocean Industries Association spokesman said the association would need more time to study the decision.
The decision "appears to move us closer to using this same scientifically guided process in the Atlantic, and eventually realizing its remarkable potential for job creation, U.S. energy security, domestic investment and deficit reduction," said Jeff Vorberger, vice president for policy and government affairs.
In seismic tests, crews detonate compressed air guns dragged behind ships, creating a series of blasts to read the "echo" beneath the sea floor. The blasts can deafen or injure marine mammals, such as whales or dolphins, that navigate by sonar echoes, and are suspected of injuring other marine life.

If the cloud is to fulfill on its promise we need to start thinking of it as a cloud, not as an aggregation of its components (such as VMs etc.)
As mentioned in a previous post I'll use some of my upcoming posts to highlight some cloud computing "megatrends" that I believe are happening - or need to happen – beyond 2011. One of these would be the creation of an "abstraction model" that can be used to think about (and eventually manage) the cloud. A nice setup to this was done by Jen-Pierre Garbani of Forrester, who in a recent post at Computerworld UK talks about the need to Consider the Cloud as a solution not a problem.
In this is he uses the example of the T-ford -which was originally designed to use the exact same axle with as roman horse carriages, until someone come up with the idea of paving the roads - to argue that customers should not "design cloud use around the current organization, but redesign the IT organization around the use of cloud .. The fundamental question of the next five years is not the cloud per se but the proliferation of services made possible by the reduced cost of technologies".
could not agree more, it is about the goal not about the means. But people keep thinking in terms of what they already know. It was Henry Ford who ones said "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." Likewise people think of clouds and especially of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in terms of virtual machines. It is time to move beyond that and think of what the machines are used for (applications/services) and start managing them at that level.
Just like we do not manage computers by focusing on the chips or the transistors inside, we should not manage clouds by focusing on the VM's inside. We need a model that abstracts from this, just like Object Orientated models abstract programmers from having to know how underlying functions are implemented we need a cloud model that abstracts IT departments from having to know on which VM specific functions are running and from having to worry about moving them.
In that context Phil Wainwright also wrote an interesting post: This global super computer the cloud, a post that originated 10 years ago. First, it is amazing that the original article is still on-line after 10 years – imagine what it would take to do that in a pre-cloud era. Second, the idea of thinking of the cloud as a giant entity makes sense but I disagree with him when he quotes Paul Buchheit's statement on the cloud OS: "One way of understanding this new architecture is to view the entire Internet as a single computer. This computer is a massively distributed system with billions of processors, billions of displays, exabytes of storage, and it's spread across the entire planet" That is the equivalent of thinking of your laptop as a massive collection of chips and transistors, or of a program you developed as a massive collection of assembler put, gets and goto statements.
To use a new platform we need to think of it as just that, as a platform, not what it is made off. If you try to explain how electrons flow through semiconductors to explain how computers work, nobody (well almost nobody) will understand. That is why we need abstractions.
Abstractions often come in the form of models, like the client/server model or (talking about abstraction) the object oriented model or even the SQL model (abstracts from what goes on inside the database).
Unfortunately the current cloud does not have such a model yet – at least not one we all agree on. That is why everyone is trying so hard to slap old models onto it and see whether they stick. For example for IaaS (infrastructure as a Service) most are trying to use models of (virtual) machines that are somehow interconnected, which makes everything overly complex and cumbersome.
What we need is a model that describes the new platform, without falling into the trap of describing the underlying components (describing a laptop by listing transistors). The model most likely will be service oriented and should be implementation agnostic (REST or SOAP, Amazon or P2P, iOS or Android, Flash or HTML5). Let's have a look what was written 10 years ago that we could use for this, my bet would be on some of the Object Oriented models out there.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Update: Foster + Partners Thames Hub proposal faces opposition
Foster + Partners Thames Hub proposal has continuously made progress throughout the year of 2011, however reports say the practice is facing some opposition in the new year. In early November, Foster + Partners revealed the £50bn project that plans to include a £20bn high-speed Orbital Rail line around London; a new £6bn Thames Barrier and crossing; and a £20bn international Estuary Airport, with annual capacity for 150 million passengers.
As seen on BD, Councilors in Essex plan to rally up their colleagues in January in attempt to battle the "disastrous" proposal. Councilor Peter Martin stated, "Lord Foster has been known to build all over the world, so we cannot sit idly by and let this happen. We must have a loud voice when it comes to opposing the airport."
It will be interesting to hear their critiques of the project and see what pans out in the New Year for the Thames Hub proposal. What are your thoughts on the project?

Scaly and slimy creatures featured at Oct. 13 event in Sycamore
Staff Report
SYCAMORE, Ill. — Join the Midwest Museum of Natural History from 7 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13, for a presentation by Dr. Richard King of Northern Illinois University about scaly and slimy creatures.
Cost is $5 per person for museum members, seniors and students, and $7 per person for non-members. Tour the museum before the lecture; doors will open at 6 p.m. No registration is required.
Dr. King has a long history of working to understand and conserve reptiles and amphibians throughout the Midwest. His projects cover a lot of ground and include research on garter snake color patterns, captive breeding of the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, habitat restoration and amphibian reintroduction, and Blanding's turtle recovery planning.
In addition to his recent projects, Dr. King will focus on the work he has done on conservation biology of the Lake Erie water snake, a species with a comeback story that has a happy ending.

These species, and the hundreds of others whose extinction has been prevented by the act, are living testimonies to its ability to bring species back from the brink by protecting them and conserving and restoring their habitat."

Tatar sucks I don't know what everybody sees in him
We get it, you hate him. You don't need to make comments every game about him.
He is the very least of our worries this season and it's his first full year in the NHL. He has only played 25 games in the NHL prior to this year.

FORT WAYNE – Don't rule anything out, but Sycamore Hills Golf Club likely won't be holding any national amateur championships for a while.
The club has the Hotel Fitness Championship, part of the Web.com Tour's finals, for the next three years – it will be Aug. 26 to Sept 1 this year – and that's plenty.
"I learned a long time ago the world is round and we will remain open to all possibilities," said Eric Schneider, the general manager at Sycamore Hills.
"(But) we are going to focus on the Web.com for the next three years."
Gabriella Then of Upland, Calif., won the United States Golf Association's Girls' Junior Championship on Saturday with a 2-and-1 victory in a 36-hole match with Lakareber Abe of Angleton, Texas.
That concluded six days of play and was the latest in a series of national championships for Sycamore Hills, which played host for the USGA's Women's State Team Championships in 2009 and the PGA of America's Junior PGA Championship in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
"This has been very successful," Schneider said Saturday.
"I've been pleasantly surprised with the level of competitiveness. It was certainly a kick-up over the Junior PGA.
"And from our standpoint, I think we had an unbelievable week of weather and it showcased the club, the town. So, it's been a very positive experience."
Schneider couldn't estimate how many spectators attended the event.
"This event is more about family, friends and associates than it is about spectators," he said.
"But we've had a nice response from the membership and people who have gotten used to following junior golf from the previous tournaments, and they've been treated to unbelievable golf."
Players at the Junior PGA raved about the conditions at Sycamore Hills – particularly on the greens – and Schneider said it's at an all-time best at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course.
"It validated the course as a championship venue, and it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here," he said.
The Hotel Fitness Championship will help determine which players get their PGA Tour cards for 2014. And the PGA Tour will have its own ideas about how to set up the course.
"They'll find pin placements we haven't discovered yet," Schneider said. "It'll test a lot of the best players in the world, and it'll be interesting on that note to see how it holds up. But this was another chapter in our championship legacy and everything went very well."

Do the Klingons forget to cloak?

Technically nothing makes a sci ship a sci ship unless its a fed sci ship - nevertheless, the bop fits the bill for a ship that can toss one of the three or so useful boff sci abilities and bring something else to the table.
Vu'Qov screams "I can only point my deflector at pve targets, and even that is annoying - but i can tank like a boss...with an engie at the helm boosting my wep, shields, and aux to max so i can actually do dps and quick launch my external torpedo tubes like i know what I'm doing".
Admittedly, you can't really hold aggro in a Vo as an engie like you can in a bc, but hey, who cares, if you actually needed to tanks things in this game for longer than it takes for your tac buddies to kill it then we'd have problems wouldn't we?
Kar'Fi is better sure, but a tac in a Kar'fi embarrasses a sci in a Kar'fi.
-neither, of course, can cloak - barring t5 and a short phase shift-
I've seen the difference, what with loving sci ships, dumping all my resources into both my fed and kdf sci - with every boat you might want to fly to choose from for either - and they're differences that make no difference relative to simply bringing another tac in a dps boat - I know, I know, sucks, I don't like it anymore than you, but it is what it is. The only sci boff skills useful in pve -at all- are gravwell, siphon, and tbr. The most useful thing you have in any stf as a sci you'll have in whatever ship you fly -subnuc the cube/boss buffs and ss-.
In hive though, I do love my mirror Vo. I use siphon (what with not needing to face) and go broadside with beams at range (normally cannons would be better - but range is nice in hive agreed) and hammer em with micro'd bops. Facing the queen for subnucs is fun as well. Similar effect with a Kar'Fi and dbbs plus advanced frigs on micro for the tricos. That said, I generally don't pug Hive, and in a 5 man.......sigh.....5 dps ships again, gumby, fleets, raptors, whatev.
Long story short, your best debuffs are always available to you. Fed scis get SA, and that's nice - but barring the vesta (which again I love) they're just not too hot for pve. Not that Bops are incredibly hot for pve either - but its a similar situation with a vesta - you have dps (not escort/raptor but hey - can't have it all). If you're outdamaging people in pve with your carrier -pets included- you simply have better gear/they're just bad. Don't get me wrong, I could rant and rave all day long with you about the dps centric nature of pve, but our ranting and raving won't change the state of the game at present.
DPS is the name of the PVE game, and sci's aint playing it. In pvp...well...you're required - and in that arena, the b'rel brings something that simply cannot be duplicated by any other ship, the heghta less so - and both can cloak. Nothing else meets the "can sci it up" and "can cloak" bar like the bops. But hey, maybe I'm missing something, you tell me. What sci do you want to throw that a bop can't throw? Hell, if we're talking pve in a sci boat, specifically kdf side....the ability to slot a commander and ltc tac while retaining subnuc and ss in a bop will likely give you higher single target dps for an stf, provided you don't pull aggro...and those lovely new negative threat part gen plasma infused consoles......might just convince me to put away my Karp and go to the bop for stfs. Just shift the boffs around to transition between aoe (probes) and single target (cubes/bosses structures - but if you keep thy3 you can run the aoe boffs against the structures and cubes anyway for epic kinetic lulz.
In PVP, sci is all about disable/cc (and of course your two "take em anywhere" debuffs"). Show me a sci boat, barring vesta, that can run as much of that at once (and in the case of the b'rel - most of it from absolute safety). I'm always down for a new build/boat.
(even if we invoke the specter of trico bomber groups in pve - tacs in escorts raptors still do it better-raaaaaage..but, i guess that's getting nerfed anyhow, so I'll have less to complain about. All this said, again, I , like you, love sci, and think people undervalue them - but one has to recognize that they're undervalued for a reason - even if people put their value just a tad lower than it actually is. It -is- telling though, that the best thing to happen to sci in a long time is to be given a ship than can play quasi escort..aint it.)
