New USGS Study Documents Rapid Disappearance of Antarctica's Ice ShelvesPossible forecast for continued Antarctic glacier loss and sea-level rise due to climate change
Antarctica's glaciers are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report prepared in close collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey.
The USGS study documents for the first time that one ice shelf has completely disappeared and another has lost a chunk three times the size of Rhode Island. This research is part of a larger ongoing project that is for the first time studying the entire Antarctic coastline.
"This study provides the first insight into the extent of Antarctica's coastal and glacier change," noted U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. "The rapid retreat of glaciers there demonstrates once again the profound effects our planet is already experiencing—more rapidly than previously known—as a consequence of climate change. The scientific work of USGS, which is investigating the impacts of climate change around the world, including an ongoing examination of glaciers, is a critical foundation of the Administration's commitment to combat climate change."
The USGS study focuses on Antarctica, which is the Earth's largest reservoir of glacial ice. In a separate study published in Geophysical Research Letters, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that ice is melting much more rapidly than expected in the Arctic as well, on the basis of new computer analyses and recent ice measurements (see URL http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2009GL037820).
Using historical and recent satellite imagery, aerial photography, and other data, as well as the newest mapping techniques, the new USGS study, released April 3, 2009, maps recent glacier retreat along Antarctica's Larsen and Wordie Ice Shelves. It is just one of several upcoming studies of Antarctica's glaciers.
Scientists previously knew that the Wordie Ice Shelf has been retreating, but this study documents for the first time that it has completely disappeared. Moreover, the northern part of the Larsen Ice Shelf no longer exists. An area more than three times the size of the State of Rhode Island (more than 8,500 km2) has broken off from the Larsen Ice Shelf since 1986.
USGS scientists report that these floating ice shelves are especially sensitive to climate change, so their rapid retreat may be a forecast for losses of the land-based ice sheet on the Antarctic continent if warming continues. This could result in sea-level rise, threatening low-lying coastal communities and islands.
"This continued and often significant glacier retreat is a wakeup call that change is happening in our Earth system and we need to be prepared," said USGS glaciologist Jane G. Ferrigno, lead author on the study. "Antarctica is of special interest because it holds an estimated 91 percent of the Earth's glacier volume, and change anywhere in the ice sheet poses significant hazards to society."
The new report and map of the Larsen Ice Shelf are part of a project to study the coastal change and glaciological characteristics of the entire Antarctic margin. The research is part of the USGS Glacier Studies Project that is monitoring and describing glacier extent and change over the whole planet by using satellite imagery.
The research in Antarctica is a collaborative effort of the USGS and the British Antarctic Survey, with the assistance of the Scott Polar Research Institute and Germany's Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie.

Tim was brought to my attention a few years ago by Rosemarie, who had just seen him on Station WJW-TV in Cleveland. I sent for a video-tape, watched literally two minutes of it, and immediately issued instructions to add Tim to our regular TV company. Since the only person in the room at the moment was the janitor, my instructions meant nothing, but Conway eventually came out to Hollywood anyway.

Musicians as determinedly spontaneous as Salvation by necessity must make music that reflects their own personalities and Salvation's music is joyous and 'good timey.' But perhaps the best comment on its flavor came from the Berkeley poet John Thompson who stopped by and chanced to hear the test pressing. He was fascinated and when it was over he murmured, 'It's like a birthday present!' And it is, isn't it?

Any time you take a look at a new home builder, there are many crucial things you want to be able to be on the lookout for. You cannot focus solely on the associated with the home or where the home is located – though these items are also important. New Home Builders in Midtown Atlanta, GA says take the time to learn about the home contractor and what their status is. You may just build one home in your lifetime and you would like it to get everything an individual desire and more. Major things you want in order to look at the fresh home builder is wherever the communities are positioned. Not all homebuilders usually are located where you want them to be. Whether or not you want to be in the town or within the suburbs, this will limit the homebuilders you can work with. Explore where the particular communities are and what they are near. In case you have children, look at the different schools these people will attend and also exactly what the schools have been graded so you know very well what sort of education your kids will be getting. You'll want to look at the ground plan. Are usually square video? How many bedrooms and bathrooms? Is there any kind of versatility in order to provide you with a new den versus a bedroom or vice versa? Any kind of kind of overall flexibility may supply you with the home of your dreams. If a person are not getting specifically what you want, a person may want to appearance at an alternative new house builder. Some homebuilders do not give you all of the options when it comes to getting a home loan. When you work together with a new home constructor, you want to become able to have the mortgage on your terms. Manage to work within the confines of your budget. In the end, it's also important to look at the brand new home builder's reputation. Just what type of quality homes are they creating? How usually are they at following up the year later to see if there are any issues within the home? These are all traits you want in order to know before agreeing to be able to work with a home builder. Lots of reviews are usually available online to have these kinds of answers. It is frequent knowledge that the housing marketplace is in shambles from the moment – proprietors simply aren't getting typically the prices they need for their own beloved family homes. This situation has caused numerous folks who are seeking to build to question whether this is actually the best time to do so or whether or not they should be waiting until the market selections up a bit. If you are still unsure about now being the particular best time to seek the services of a new home contractor, you might do in order to take into consideration all the advantages that this option offers you with, including: your current own design, your own landscaping, your own fresh paint and carpet colors, your own tiles and your very own timber floors. In addition a person can pick the perfect prevent of land in the perfect suburb. Don't choose to endure a home that will is completely unsuitable regarding the needs you have just as the real estate market is currently within a slump – when you have to have a bigger house or one with more living areas, consider contacting a new home builder and discovering how they can assist you. The reality that the market is experiencing troubles should mean of which you can pick upwards a block of property for a bargain price in addition to build a house on this no problems. There are numerous factors to consider when determining to have a new home built instead of purchasing an existing home. If money is not a consideration then choosing to build a new home is unequivocally going to seem to be an appealing option, together can have custom homes built by a new home builder that properly suits kinds preferences. Creating a new home permits one to have the particular freedom to have their particular house built to their own actual specifications, but has some limitations if a single wants to have a new centrally located house, because many new housing internet sites will be outside the town center. However, once the costs and benefits have got been weighed and one makes a decision to hire a fresh home builder, it will be important to select the right one. Not just should every person which is considering hiring a new home builder keep an eye out for new houses that appeal to them, but actively search away homes that they know possess been built by constructors on their list. By doing this one can determine the quality of their job as well as decide if that aesthetic is appealing. Visiting the building websites of a new home contractor is a good way to determine not only their ultimate product, but examine typically the process and the character of the builder. Meeting deal with to face is definitely the good idea, for right now there has to be not only an agreement on style, yet a meshing of personas and viewpoints about timelines. It is imperative to see the sites of their own previous homes that these people have built and talk to the homeowners, making a new point to pay close focus and get a sense of just how smooth the process has been and how happy these people are with the final product.

The rare syndrome exists in people with all sorts of developmental disabilities and even brain damage, but seems to especially affect those on the autism spectrum. As many as one in 10 people with autistic disorder display savant syndrome to varying degrees.

Sometimes I can be guilty of wine prejudice. When people think of non vintage American red wines they may think of boxed or jugged wine. This wine is nothing like the non vintage wine I've had. The body of this wine is robust and the taste fills your palate, the blend is well balanced. I suspect there are some older vintages mixed in because this wine seems to be in its prime for being consumed. The Black Cherry flavors great a rich mouth feel and the finish reminds me of satin. The three other people at the table I shared this all agreed this is the best red wine they have had in a while and the best non vintage wine they had ever had. It also goes well with rich vanilla ice cream, a perfect wine to pair with a late night treat.
Disclosure: I was given a free bottle for review, however I received no traditional compensation nor did it affect my review.

I am from Iowa. My friends went to Oregon last summer and brought back a bottle of Pinot Gris. I loved it but wanted a red wine for Valentine's Day. Naked Winery had emailed me an offer for free shipping so I got online and chatted with customer service. After telling her my preferences, she suggested the Climax. It came quickly and I loved it. So smooth; not sweet yet not too dry. Then I got an offer for free shipping and $10.00 off from Naked Winery!!! So now I have a bottle of the Naked Winery Pinot Gris! Needless to say living in Iowa; the shipping expense would have been too much for me to justify ordering from Naked Winery. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to enjoy your wines!! Love them!!

Welcome to Fit Family Together. To get family fitness tips, strategies and inspiration sent right to your inbox, just sign up right here. (You'll get a great 7-day ecourse as well!)
As I noted in earlier posts, nothing can get you and your children motivated to take care of your body like understanding it.
When you learn about the body, you gain appreciation for this magnificent machine that you are the proud owner of.
And with appreciation comes motivation to take care of it. As well as the knowledge for making better choices and tailoring your activities to take care of your body right.
Here are five wonderful books I recommend to use with your children to learn about the body.
Not only will these books provide you with all you need to know. But they will engage you and your kids about learning about the body. These books bring with them intrigue and inspiration.
They make a great complement to these two posts:
- Discoveries Make Family Fitness Fun
- For Your Children: A Fun Way To Learn About The Human Body
Our copy of this book is worn around the edges. It's been thoroughly examined by both my children.
I love the multilayered transparent panels in the front that show each organ system layered on top of each other.
In addition to great illustrations and explanations, it offers exercises to help you understand how your body works better.
It's simple, durable and an effective assistant teacher for you with your children.
The Magic Schoolbus Inside The Human Body
My kids and I took many a journey with the magical teacher Ms. Frizzle. And this one was one of our favorites.
Join her class as their schoolbus becomes a snack and travels inside one of their classmate's digestive system.
If you haven't traveled with Ms. Frizzle yet, you're going to love her adventures. This is just one of many.
Madeline L'Engle blends complex science with adventure in all her books. And this one is no different. More for the older crowd – at least 9 y.o. – this book takes the reader deep inside one of the character's mitochondria to find a way to save him.
I remember sharing many a magical night as my two kids and I snuggled together traveling through our imaginations into the subcellular level as we read Ms. L'Engle's story.
This book is unfortunately out of print. But I highly recommend it nonetheless. You can probably find it used.
Some of the information is a bit dated (it was written in the 80′s.) But it is one of those classics, packed with so many great ways to help kids think about the body, fitness and nutrition.
More For Adults – Great References
Written by two doctors, Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, this book is something we all should have gotten upon birth.
But since we didn't, they created it. It gives you wonderful, often humorous, and very understandable explanations for what is going on inside of you. Along with each explanation, the good doctors have also provided lots of great tips for healthy living.
When a teacher of anatomy says this book has taught him – and helped him understand his own surgery, you know this book has the info.
When you find that you don't need to be a teacher of anatomy to understand it, you know this book should be on your library shelf.
This book is a reference book no family should be without.
Stock your shelves with this fine body of body tomes and you'll be set for all kinds of questions, concerns and explorations.
Do you have some to add? Let us know in the comments:

Prevent the situation where errno is set by function A, then function B is called (which is typically _(), but could be anything else) and it overwrites errno, then errno is checked by the caller. errno is a horrific API, and we need to be careful to save its value as soon as a function call (which might set it) returns. i.e. Follow the pattern: int errsv, ret; ret = some_call_which_might_set_errno (); errsv = errno; if (ret < 0) puts (strerror (errsv)); This patch implements that pattern throughout GLib. There might be a few places in the test code which still use errno directly. They should be ported as necessary. It doesn't modify all the call sites like this: if (some_call_which_might_set_errno () && errno == ESOMETHING) since the refactoring involved is probably more harmful than beneficial there. It does, however, refactor other call sites regardless of whether they were originally buggy. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7855775cddde1f

To this very day, I remember every little detail. We'd been to the movies, a unique event for my family since my parents were pretty strict on what we could watch. We were walking back and my sister and my dad were talking about his Amsterdam accent.
I grew up in the east of The Netherlands and my dad is from Amsterdam, which has by Dutch standards a pretty strong accent. I was maybe 10 or 11 and I said I could do his accent. He didn't believe me, so I gave it my best shot. And tanked it.
I remember my dad and my sister laughing so hard while I was in tears. They didn't mean to make fun of me perhaps, but that's exactly what happened. There are few moments in my life where I have felt more humiliated as right then and there.
They didn't mean to, but they humiliated me deeply and I've never forgotten it. It was over something stupid and I doubt they even remember it. But I do.
Humiliation is one of the strongest negative emotions a teen can have. It can trigger a whole cycle of negative emotions and feelings, right up to depression. It's also an emotion that is relatively easy to provoke.
An example that comes to mind is that I was once in a church service where they had a group of 12 year old teens sing a song for the entire church. Had, as in obligatory. Can you imagine the horror for a 12-year-old boy, singing a song with 700 people watching? It's a proven recipe for humiliation.
Making fun of a wrong answer, laughing at an ill timed mistake, putting a teen on the spot, it can happen without even realizing it. That's why we should take great care to prevent it. Teens are vulnerable and we need to protect them.
Laughing with each other is fine, laughing at someone isn't
Everyone being an idiot is fine, but singling out one teen to make an idiot of himself isn't
Asking a teen to stand out is fine, making them stand out isn't
And when it happens, when a teen is accidently humiliated and you see it happen, humiliate yourself right next to the teen. Share the spotlight, make a fool of yourself, be willing to sacrifice whatever dignity you have left to share in the shame and humiliation. Believe me, it helps.
(Stay tuned for more posts in a series on the strongest positive and negative teen emotions and what this means for youth ministry)

Citigroup's new Chief Executive Vikrum Pandit continues to work on a restructuring program, the details of which will likely be announced next week, according to people familar with the plan.
Citi is mulling a work force reduction of between 5 percent and 10 percent of its work force of 327,000, these people say.
The formation of the restructuring plan appears to be taking longer than expected due to the extent of the problems at Citigroup.
Citigroup is one of the biggest victims of the credit crunch caused by the subprime-mortgage crisis.
Separately, Merrill Lynch began handing out bonuses last week, which are sharply lower than they were last year.
Some people have said the bonuses may be between 60 percent and 80 percent lower than they were last year in certain divisions.

New labelling to solve North-South impasse
New branding and labelling options are being considered by the Department of Agriculture in an effort to get the cattle trade between north and south flowing again.
Farmers, marts and processors north of the Border have been hit following the implementation of harsh penalties on animals that are reared in the South but slaughtered in the North.
"Beef farmers and the livestock marts are under awful pressure due to the implementation of unreasonable specifications by processors and retailers that cost up to £150/hd just because it has crossed the border and designated 'nomad'," said Sinn Fein's agriculture spokesperson, Martin Ferris.
The Minister for Agriculture, Simon Coveney met with his northern counterpart, Michelle O'Neill, last week to explore possible solutions to the impasse.
The IFA president Eddie Downey, who was also present, said that meat processors in Northern Ireland also want the live trade to open up and are prepared to slaughter cattle from the Republic provided the necessary labelling arrangements are cleared up.
He said branding and labelling options, which meet the EU labelling requirements, have been submitted to the Department of Agriculture.
Mr Downey said urgent action is required before the autumn cattle trade picks up at the livestock marts where Northern Ireland buyers play a significant role.
ICSA beef chairman Edmond Phelan welcomed the fact that the administrations north and south were looking at all- island solutions to fulfilling the marketing requirements of the British retailers. However, he warned that a solution had to be found soon.
"The concept of marketing such beef in Britain on an equal footing with beef born, reared and slaughtered in the Republic needs to be examined and progressed quickly," said Mr Phelan.
ICOS has also voiced its criticism of the new rules, with ICOS director Ray Doyle branding them as anti-competitive.
"Farmers in Northern Ireland are effectively being prevented from the purchase of cattle from the Republic by the factories.
"That's because any farmer that presents a Southern Irish-born animal in a Northern Ireland meat plant will either be turned away or suffer a penalty of up to £150/hd.
"This is clearly anti-competitive behaviour," he said.
"The unique feature of cattle and beef farming on the island of Ireland is the grass-fed nature of our beef. This is a feature which Bord Bia has always highlighted as being a unique selling point for Irish beef in all markets.
"If this characteristic was highlighted by the ministers of agriculture, both North and South, at European level, then maybe we could brand Irish beef as being from the island of Ireland.
"If this was achieved, an animal born in Ballybunion or Ballymena would all be 'Irish Beef' and free trade could once again flourish," claimed Mr Doyle.

The aftermath of COE changes
The aftermath of COE changes
Entry posted by Regan_ong ·
8,908 views
Weeks ago, the Government announced changes to the age-old COE system, in a bid to level the playing ground in the industry as well as to ensure a better division of COE allocation between premium and mass market cars.
Under the new implementation, banding for Category A will be tighten to cars with less than 130bhp only, on top of a 1.6-litre engine capacity. This means cars that were previously in Cat A but with more than 130bhp will be re-categorised into Cat B.
The revised banding will take effect from February next year, and will without doubt affect the local car industry. With the influx of Cat A cars that will be shifted into Cat B, the latter's COE premium is expected to soar due to higher demand.
Assuming that premiums for Cat A take on a softer stance after the change, buyers may be attracted to model variants with lower power, and will turn to aftermarket kits to tune up the performance of their cars afterwards, as this route is more economically viable.
Models such as those from German marques Audi and Volkswagen have become the local's tuning favourites. The increasing availability of basic and fuss-free tuning options, such as ECU re-flash and chip tuning, can easily bring cars at the brim of Cat A banding, such as the base Volkswagen Golf (122bhp) and Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 (122bhp), to Cat B standards of over 130bhp.
This will likely spark new life into the aftermarket industry. But it will also make the situation unfavourable and unjust for Cat B car buyers.
As such, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) may seize the opportunity to further clamp down on illegal modifications, possibly conducting more random checks and increasing the number of enforcement officers on patrol.
Vehicle inspections would probably be more stringent as well, and in order to determine if the engine has been tuned, dyno tests could be conducted during inspections.

I was watching the Grammy Awards last night and found Smokey Robinson's appearance somewhat frightening. He looks nothing like he used to. He appears to have had a browlift which has pulled his brows way too high, giving him a permanently surprised look. With my HDTV I swear I could almost see the scars of his probable blepharoplasty surgeries as well. When you compare his face now to the one before, you can see that his face is much thinner and has very little loose skin. This is very unusual for a 67 year old man, and is a sign of a likely facelift.
I believe that Smokey is the classic case of each plastic surgery procedure being successful in doing what it's supposed to (browlift lifts the brow, facelift removes loose skin, etc.), but these parts adding up to an overall whole which looks unnatural, or done. The job of a good plastic surgeon is to put these parts together appropriately, so that a person does not look odd.
He's such an amazing singer; hopefully he will stay away from the knife from now on. I know what you are thinking, dear blog reader: "I second that emotion!" ;)

Gravesham Trophy Centre, 135 Singlewell Road, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 7QA
Phone: 01474 560 016, E-mail: email@example.com
The term 'Mob Football" is a modern description of a variety of ball games which did not necessarily include actually kicking a ball. The word Football is also used within various titles, including 'Folk Football' and 'Shrovetide Football', the latter probably being the most popular during Medieval Times. Simply grouped together, the term Mob football adequately describes various games which were full of chaos and brutatility - and often without any rules!
Shrovetide was a popular time of year for playing games, because it was a time of leisure and for gatherings of large groups of people. Shrovetide Football is still played today, particularly in Ashborne, Derbyshire, every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.
The ball, made from the bladder of a pig, would typically be kicked by large numbers of people from neighbouring villages and towns, heaving back and forth, intent on 'scoring' by kicking the ball into the balcony of their opponents' church.
There is a set of three images in the British Museum in London, showing a group of men with a large ball, probably from around the 14th Century. One can see a join in the ball, so probably made from leather. The last image of the set shows a man with a broken arm, highlighting the brutality of the game played 700 years ago!
with thanks to Wikipedia
Norman Times
In Norman times, around 1180, a clerk and administrator for Thomas Becket, one William FitzStephen, wrote about Football. While visiting London during a Shrove Tuesday, he saw youths playing the game and noted that all the various 'trades' and students had their own teams. They also had football spectators.
He wrote - "After lunch all the youth of the city go out into the fields to take part in a ball game. The students of each school have their own ball; the workers from each city craft are also carrying their balls. Older citizens, fathers, and wealthy citizens come on horseback to watch their juniors competing, and to relive their own youth vicariously: you can see their inner passions aroused as they watch the action and get caught up in the fun being had by the carefree adolescents".
One wonders what sort of Football Trophy was presented in those days!
Another record, in 1280, records that a fatal knife wound was received by a Football Player! A further record, in 1321, reported that a William de Spalding was in trouble with the Police because "During a game of football, another player ran against him and wounded himself on a sheath knife carried by William, so severely that he died within six days." The Beautiful Game was perhaps not quite so beautiful in days of yore.
Edward the Second, on 13th April 1314, was attempting to raise an army to fight the Scots and announced that the game of football was stopping his archers from their practice and ruining their archery skills. He issued the first Royal Decree " For as much as there is a great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils may arrice, what God forbid, we can command and forbid on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such games to be used in the city in future. " – and so banned the game, threatening imprisonment. No Football Trophies and Awards in those days!
Edward the Third, when he was preparing to invade Scotland, also banned the Game of "Football" in 1363 (interesting that it was actually named 'Football' at that time, as against 'Handball', which was also mentioned separately).
In 1388, Henry the Fourth ineffectively attempted to stop England's young men from playing Football and so, in 1409, issued a document using the word "foteball" and imposed a fine of 20/= and 6 days in prison for any offenders. That same year, 8 men - "the kind and good men of the mystery of Cordwainers", were commanded to provide a 'bond' of £20 (a huge sum of money in those days) to the London City Chamberlain, swearing that they would not "collect money for a football". 'Cordwainers' were from Cordwainers Street in London and The City of Westminster, where leather and similar goods were produced. In 1410, Henry expanded his policy and extended the fine of 20/= to any Bailiff or Mayor of a town or village where 'misdemeanours' "such as foteball" occurred.

Bachelor in Paradise: Episode 3 Recap
Welcome back, Bachelor Nation! Boy oh boy, this schedule is clearly taking a toll on me but fear not, we're going to push through! Luckily, if we're being honest, not that much is happening so I should be able to fill everyone in if you don't have 4 hours a week to dedicate to this.
Welcome back, Adam (And Adam Jr)
We get the episode started with Adam arriving in paradise and within 5 minutes, he's already said more words on camera than he did in, what, 8 weeks of Rachel's season of "The Bachelorette"? He gets a date card and lets us know that he's interested in Raven (who is sort of with Ben Z) and Kristina (who is sort of with Dean). But nope! The producers definitely don't manipulate the cast.
Dean checks in with the ladies to see if they would be interested in a date before choosing. Both say that they are but Kristina seems especially eager to get off the Dean train given his all-around flakiness. Adam ultimately chooses Raven which makes Ben Z and Robbie immediately butt-hurt and leaves Kristina confused and disappointed. Us too, Kristina. At this point, we get a hot take from Jack Stone on Dean. His analysis is that Dean is great if you're in middle school but not so much if you're an adult. Is it shade if it's 100% accurate?
While all this is going on, Iggy is seen working out with Alex. At one point, he tells Alex, "I'm super impressed how jacked you are". Weird. He probably would have been better served using this energy to meet more of the women, but to be fair, Alex is pretty yolked.
Adam and Raven's date
Adam and Raven begin their date with some light chit chat. At this time we get some cutaways to Ben Z who is beside himself. He can't believe Raven is on a date with Adam – I mean, they both have dogs, they are obviously soul mates. Anyhow, Raven and Adam get back to their date and seem to be having a nice, easy-going hang. They turn things up a notch when they participate in some street dancing – classic Bachelor move to fill airtime on low-budget dates. Adam and Raven kiss and that's pretty much the date. #yawn
The First Rose Ceremony!
FINALLY. We have 12 guys and 8 women with the men on the chopping block. As we're prepping for the ceremony, the cast discusses who they they will choose whom. Ben Z takes this opportunity to remind Raven that he has a dog. We get it, you have a dog.
Adam steals Raven away and asks her to salsa dance with him again. I'm immediately bored until he goes in for a kiss like a boss. Nice work. Robbie, on the other hand, has the moves of a nerdy 15 year old. He asks Amanda for a kiss (ugh!) and she flatly tells him "no" (double ugh!). I'm pretty sure his black button up shirt with a turquoise bow tie are helping his cause. Had he served her some popcorn at a movie theater, she would have looked less confused.
Amanda then informs Alex what all of us already knew, that she wasn't giving him his rose. In a truly pathetic move, he makes the rounds to the other 7 women lobbying for a rose. Not a good look and unfortunately, Iggy doesn't have a rose.
On to the actual ceremony! Adam pulls Raven's rose which means Ben Z is basically pooping his pants right now. Danielle, being the sweetheart that she is, eases his mind and gives him a rose because she thinks that he deserves it. Amanda has the final rose and gives it to Robbie which is just kind of weird, but whatever. The odd men out are Alex, Iggy, Vinny and Nick. It should not have taken 3 nights but we finally separated the wheat from the chaff.
Danielle L aka D-Lo?
The next day, we get another new face to Paradise, Danielle L. Everyone is calling her D-Lo, so I guess this is a thing? As she walks in, all of the men do their best impression of Ice Cube and Chris Tucker from Friday.
Danielle (because I refuse to call her D-Lo) chats with all the guys but lands on Dean as who she'd like to take on a date. Kristina is super pissed at this point.
On their date, they go riding ATVs through the woods then enjoy some light snacks afterwards. An interesting theme in this episode is all the shade being thrown at Nick V. Earlier, Alexis called him "the worst bachelor ever". During the date, Dean tells Danielle that he thought Nick was boring. I'm kind of surprised this wasn't edited out but maybe the producers hate Nick as much as the rest of us?
Half-birthdays aren't a thing
After Dean and Danielle's relatively uneventful date, Dean pulls Kristina aside to have a chat. Things seem to be settling down between them…for like a minute. The next scene is on the beach at a bonfire with the cast hanging out together. Dean rolls up wit ha cake for Danielle's "half-birthday". He makes a speech about how it's important to celebrate half-birthdays for people with birthdays around Christmas. Even Danielle seems a bit confused but at this point, Kristina (rightfully) storms off and is brought to tears. Dean is acting like a total bozo and frankly she's too good for him.

Soccer Tournaments in FloridaSoccer tournaments in Florida benefit from year-round sunshine and entertainment options, which means that the Sunshine State is always a popular destination for youth soccer teams from all across the country to visit. The state in which USA national team stars, Eddie Johnson, Cory Gibbs and Daniele Fotopolus learned their soccer trade is currently home to over 100,000 registered youth soccer players.
Due to its favorable climate, many soccer tournaments in Florida have been parachuted in from elsewhere. One such example is Score at the Shore, which began life on Long Island, and now runs Florida events in February and July. Guaranteeing four competitive games to every team, Score at the Shore also offers teams from cooler, winter climates the opportunity to stay on after February's tournament for extra pre-season training.
The Disney Wide World of Sports is another prolific stager of youth soccer tournaments in Florida. The complex is home to the Disney Soccer Showcase, which takes place annually between Christmas and New Year and which is considered one of the best in the country for its level of competition, showcase and facilities.
Of course, the extra-curricular activities available to youth soccer players and their families in Florida are plentiful. You can meet Mickey at Disney World, see how films are made at Universal Studios, take a cruise among the Gators on the Everglades, enjoy some time in vibrant Miami or simply lie on the beach on the quieter west coast of the state. You certainly won't get bored!

5S Labeling and Marking
The 5S methodology is about getting organized and having everything in its proper place. The result of a properly implemented 5S program is the elimination of waste, including wasted time.
5S Labeling
Labeling and marking have an important, foundational role in 5S. For example, 5S labels identify items and their proper storage locations.
5S labels may be as simple as an adhesive-backed band of color used to identify a shadow board where a tool is stored. Color is the most effective communication tool available. It communicates quickly and clearly. Color coding should be a major part of your 5S labeling.
However, color is limited in the amount of information it can communicate. For example, color can be used to identify general areas within a work area, but effective use of 5S labels and markers involves including more detailed information on some labels.
Which tool is the Bruel Press Spanner Wrench? Which CNC machine is the #6 machine? These are questions that require more detail than color coding alone can communicate.
Text, numbers, symbols, barcodes are commonly included on some 5S labels. In addition, to be truly efficient, additional information such as operating or maintenance information on 5S labels can help to provide needed information at the point were it is needed.
5S Label Adhesive
The quality and type of adhesive are critical for 5S labeling. Without the right adhesive, the label will soon fail. For example, when the corners and edges of 5S labels applied to tools start curling up, they may interfere with the use of those tools. Instead of helping to improve efficiency, your 5S labels are detracting from efficiency and creating waste. That's a recipe for 5S failure.
5S labeling materials are available with adhesives appropriate for:
- low energy surfaces (plastic)
- oily surfaces
- rough surfaces
- rusty surfaces
- hot or cold surfaces
- wood, brick and concrete surfaces
- painted surfaces
5S Labeling With DuraLabel Printers
DuraLabel printers and supplies provide the ability to make 5S labels with whatever information you need on them. With DuraLabel you get the label quality, the right adhesive, the long-term durability, and the efficiency needed for effective 5S labeling.
With DuraLabel it's easy to create custom 5S labels. From a wide range of supply colors you can use for 5S color coding, to more than 50 types of labeling materials – assuring you can always get the right labeling supply for the job – DuraLabel gets your 5s labeling done right.

Student Mental Health Charter
28 June 2018
Responding to the announcement of a new University Mental Health Charter, Russell Group Chief Executive Dr Tim Bradshaw, called for ambition and a spirit of partnership to better support mental health:
"University is meant to be an exciting and rewarding time, albeit challenging, and we want all students to have the best possible experience. We take very seriously our responsibility to support better mental health in our institutions and across the sector more broadly.
"The new Student Minds mental health charter should be an important addition to the ongoing work in this area. Russell Group universities have been building up support services over many years, from drop-in surgeries and advice centres to professional counselling, workshops with wellbeing advisors, free gym sessions and exercise programmes, nightlines and bespoke mental health support plans to help individuals develop their emotional resilience. Our universities work closely with the NHS, schools, colleges, local authorities and third sector organisations to create as wide as possible a support network for students who may be struggling. We support Universities UK's #StepChange framework which encourages more universities to shift to a "whole institution" approach.
"But it is right that we are even more ambitious, filling the gaps which remain and ensuring that we are pursuing the most effective interventions. We look forward to collaborating with Ministers, charities and our partners across the public sector and the higher education world in a spirit of partnership, on what is a complex challenge for universities and society."

Title: Nuggets of Gold to Feed the Soul
By: Dr. Joe Judkins
Review Date: May 19, 2014
A CBM Book Review
9.9 out of 10.0 stars
Nuggets of Gold to Feed the Soul by Dr. Joe Judkins merges seven books into one, offering his own spiritual journey and golden nuggets from the Word of God that speak truth, leading others to eternal life and belief in Almighty God. With honesty, openness and wisdom, the author constructs a book that speaks of the world, man in relation to eternity, giving much scripture, teaching and exhortation to help individuals find the path of salvation is only in Jesus Christ. Revealing, intriguing and thought-provoking dialogue open the book to scriptural analysis that is easy to understand as the author explains the way of the Kingdom in this compilation of his own spiritual discovery. With firm biblical perspective, the author writes in hopes of leading all to knowledge and belief in Jesus Christ.
This book offers one a broad spectrum approach to what Christianity is, what being born again is, the question of religion, salvation, eternity and Heaven, with scriptural analysis of the many, many questions one might have. One will find analysis on 10 reasons why you exist, salvation, and foundational doctrines from Genesis to Revelation that include the making of man in God's image to discussion of the last day events. From there the author delves into a section on husbands love your wives and continues with a biblical perspective of devils, demons, angels and the spiritual realm. Such teachings disclose the importance of forgiveness, faith, crucifying the flesh, judgment and so much more. A great deal of information is given, all biblically supported by scripture, unveiling man as a spirit, Jesus Christ as the Messiah and King that is soon to come, giving one a firm understanding of salvation in Jesus Christ.
After reading this book, one will understand if in fact they will go to Heaven. Unbelievers, skeptics, critics and atheists alike are invited to take a peak into this book and make a decision-not based upon opinion, doctrine or theology, but only upon the inherent, infallible Word of God. The book reveals that there is only one God, Jesus Christ and that one day He will not only judge all, but rule all. An amazing and highly recommended read.
You may get your copy of Nuggets of Gold to Feed the Soul at Amazon, in Kindle Edition and at other fine online bookstores. Be sure to visit the author at Ok My Lord for lots of great information and ministry.

According to the original quark model template there are mesons consisting of a quark and anantiquark, and baryons made from three quarks. Strongly interacting particles that do not fit this template are called exotic. Experimental findings of recent years have uncovered existence of exotic mesons: tetraquarks, and baryons: pentaquarks, containing an additional heavy quark-antiquark pair. All such well established exotic states contain heavy quarks (c or b). I discuss some properties of such particles and the current theoretical approaches to understanding their internal dynamics.

This post contains full spoilers for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
In Lightning Returns, Lightning is sent into the last days of a dying world to save the souls of people who remain trapped there. By Final Fantasy standards, this world is very small – four areas, two of them cities, only two open field zones. In a blunt but effective spatial metaphor, the world is a circle, and you can eventually run a loop around the whole thing.
The five parallel chapters that make up the core of the game revolve around characters from the earlier in the trilogy; Snow, Sazh and Fang from the first game, Noel and Caius from the second. In each chapter, Lightning encounters an old tension, a pain that her former comrade or rival must let go. She brings an awkward and often confrontational healing to each in turn, pressing her mission as saviour.
Throughout it all, she is haunted by Lumina, who sometimes seems to be a ghost of Lightning's sister (and frequently primary motivation) Serah, and sometimes seems to be an avatar of Chaos, the power that is consuming the world. Lumina teases Lightning, casting doubt on her motivations and challenging her trust in the powers that have claimed her.
In the game's finale, Lumina reveals that she is actually the part of Lightning's personality that has been suppressed since the death of her parents. She reminds us – and as someone who hadn't played the original game for five years years when I played LR, I'd completely forgotten – that in FFXIII Lightning has a speech about how she buried aspects of herself in order to become strong to look after Serah.
Unlike certain classic Final Fantasy heroes, Lightning's denial of her past was at least in part a conscious choice, something she was and remains aware of. And Lumina's revelation has a second crucial detail: unless Lightning reunites with her, becomes whole again, Lightning herself will be trapped in the dying world. The underlying assertion of the game is laid bare: that a nature divided against itself in self-denial, as Noel's was, as Snow's was, as Lightning's still is, is a deathtrap.
Lightning, of course, because this is a story, reunites with her other half. So, in a substantive sense, it's a new Lightning, a new Claire Farron, who survives into the new world shown briefly at the game's end. This, as I understand it, is the Lightning who recently became a model for Luis Vuitton[1]. The interview that she gave to The Telegraph seems to back that up; at one point she says "I'm currently winding down after a long journey."
A few people have suggested that the interview doesn't sound like Lightning, or sounds a little cringeworthy, and to an extent I agree. It certainly doesn't sound like the indomitable warrior Lightning of the video games, and the interview itself doesn't seem to have benefitted from quite the quality of translation that the games did. But Lightning is a changed woman, and to me the changes feel about right for her story.
In fact, some of what Lightning said in the interview resonated for me very strongly, particularly "My clothes were nothing more than armor to stay alive; "dressing up" was a concept I've never had." I've spent a lot of my life choosing things like clothing and food on a purely functional basis, a habit of self-denial that eventually became so pathological I ended up in counselling for it.
For me, this was grounded in repression of my gender identity born of the belief that I wasn't 'trans enough'. And while I don't want to reduce all of trans-ness to clothing, or assert that Lightning is trans – she encounters none of the social tensions that come from an ill-fitting birth assignment –this theme within her story powerfully captured a particular component of my own trans experience.
Lightning Returns, after all, uses clothing as a core mechanic in a way conspicuously absent from the first two games. In the first two, equipment is exclusively weapons and accessories, but in Lightning Returns, Lightning's entire combat role and ability set are determined by the outfits she wears. The game incentivises collecting and experimenting with a broad and diverse wardrobe, which can be tweaked both mechanically and cosmetically.
And I have this scene in my head where Lightning, after saving the world, has kept all her outfits, telling herself they might be useful, and Serah walks in on her trying one of them on. "I, uh.. I just wanted to check I still knew how to use their powers." "Lightning, it's okay. You look great! Let me go grab you some eyeshadow-" "Could- could you call me Claire?"[2]
Yeah, it's a scene rooted in a painful cliché of discovery and exposure for trans folks. But the idea that Lightning could go from that to modelling – and to saying, in an interview with a national newspaper, "It makes me feel excited… It is a thrill that I, who has faced my share of danger, have never experienced before," – is a rare happy ending to the cliché.
I've argued before that a lot can be learned about heroism and masculinity from Lightning's journey. With the benefit of these spoilers, I can say a bit more. Lightning's sullen, insular soldier personality – the persona for whom clothes are nothing more than armour – is classically masculine in some crucial ways that the resolution of her story critiques.
For men, and particularly men growing up in the anglocentric academic tradition I was raised to, emotions and preferences are weaknesses to be suppressed. The idea that emotion is at odds with reason – and, with reason, the possibility of true, pure, perfect knowledge – has dominated this tradition and many of the specific cultures spun off from it since at least Plato. We see it still in the 'reals before feels' rhetoric of internet 'rationalism' and the clinical oppression of old academia.
In FFXIII, Lightning's determination to suppress her pain, her frustration with her sister, with Snow and with the Sanctum, and ultimately with the Fal'Cie, leads to rash expressions of violence and driving the few people who might support her away. By the end of the trilogy, her self-denial has become so poisonous that it traps her in a dying world, a world torn apart by the Chaos it cannot control or comprehend.
Early in FFXIII, there's a flashback to Lightning's recent birthday. Serah's attempt to throw her a party – with only Serah and Snow attending – ends in a disastrous row. Lightning's only gift, from Serah, is a high-quality utility knife. It's a stark illustration of how little there is to Lightning besides her soldierhood, how thoroughly she has suppressed herself. I may or may not have had birthdays a bit like this.
To see Lightning 'proud to be chosen', inspired and uplifted by the opportunity to express a self she seems surprised to have discovered, gives me hope. I feel like I, too, can be whole again, like I can escape the meaningless circles of functionalism and rationalism. Like there is a person – and specifically a woman – that I can be.
[1] There's a very short view of the new world from orbit in the closing cinematic of Lightning Returns, and the coastline it shows looked suspiciously like the real Mediterranean coast to me.
[2] I assume it's uncontroversial that Serah would be fully supportive.

Rudbeckia or 'Black Eyed Susan' is a summer-blooming favorite of many gardeners. It is a long-blooming, easy to grow perennial that is most enjoyed planted in masses in a border or wildflower garden. Planted in full sun and well-drained soil, Rudbeckias golden-yellow, daisy-like blooms are great as cut flowers and attract butterflies as well as resist deer.

I'd heard much about Deaver before looking out some of his works, and as I added a few of his books to my wish list my girlfriend pointed something out, she bought one of his books ages ago and it was on the shelf behind me. That night it was sitting on my bedside table and I started to read. I wasn't disappointed.
From the opening paragraph the action kicks off, and not at the expense of characterisation or storyline either, and that's something I noticed about this novel was that the characters were built through the situations they were in without a distraction from the story or the the rising tension. It's expertly done. So often are you pulled out of the story to delve into some dreary pages of the characters past, showing how he made the decision he just has or is about to, and it takes you straight out of the story and breaks the tension. Not here, the characterisation is woven along with the events and keeps the tension running at a rising pace.
The story is all based around a hostage situation where the FBI Hostage negotiation team are called in to manage the situation. There's tension on all levels, not just between the hostage takers and the FBI, but also amongst the team, the local Police, the State Police, the Hostage rescue teams, the list goes on. It provides for one taught situation after another.
What surprised me is how it escalated from a single demand with an hour to be met to an entire book, and you hardly notice, you're racing along with the plot just ramping up the tension chapter after chapter. This is a really good thriller.
It also provides an interesting insight into the psychology of hostage takers and negotiators, and you can feel your sympathy for them and your understanding of their methods shift heavily as their results are witnessed. There's another point as well, there's not always an explanation of why or what has happened, you have to wait for the action of the hostage takers before you see why the negotiators chose those methods. You begin not agreeing with what they are doing, until you understand that is.
The only criticism I could offer is that the ending seems somewhat hurried, I don't mean spoiled because it is really tense and there are twists galore, but with the end of the situation comes the end of the book. Excellent movie material that's for sure.
Excellent thriller and well worth the read. I'm very pulled towards Deaver now and when I get through the current spate of books I'll be back to read some of his other work.

Yesterday we managed to get the drawers fitted in the upper case, with noted exception to the left and right drawers they are pretty straight forward, but then comes the bottom drawers, they are a quite different .
We begin with the bottom drawer , now again we will be adding matching drawer fronts all the way up , basically a ribbon mahogany, all cut from one piece of 16/4 mahogany, so we only had to concern ourselves with getting the drawer sides shaped to fit the case, , so what we did was to cut an angle that translated to the side profile,( approx 14 degree) meaning we wanted the same distance back from the top and bottom edge of the drawer opening, , we then cut the top and bottom of the drawer side to the same angle, to make the side sit on the correct angle in relation to the side, we then cut the tail portion of the dovetails, on the sides, next we begin shaping the side to conform to the case sides, so we using about a 7 degree angle on the table saw, and nibbling away a little at a time and checking our progress , got the side as close as we could off the table saw , then we started hand planing to final shape the side, once we were close we lightly sanded the inside of the case with some 80 grit and a random orbit, and using a straight edge to be sure the case sides were straight
Now here is a nice trick for final shaping these sides, we coated the case sides with some chalk, then by running the side back and forth we could determine high spots and plane ridges, and level them until we had the side running nicely against the case side.
Next we measured from the longest point of the drawer opening, and cut it on the same 14 degree angle, allowing for approx 1/16 of pin protrusion , so we can sand it off nice and flush, a good tip is to leave the front and back extra long and cut the pins on one side to insure you have it all correct and lined up, as well it will allow you to double-check your pin depth calculations and positioning.
This is the first time I have actually used the thicker 5/4 material, for the sides, but because of the shaping 3/4 thick material will only yield a 1/4 to 5/16 top and bottom on the sides,( runner area) I went with the thicker material , to beef up the drawer runners , this meant a very deep pin, actually about 1 5/16 , the only bit I had that would make that deep of cut was a 1 1/4, that was alot of bit to be using hand-held, but the jig and the bit proved to work well, we had some chip out, but had left the face and back extra thick so in the event this big bit gave us chip out we could simply plane it away , and so we did.
Now one of the other things we did was to leave the front and back wide as well, and we will trim them to exact size after the drawer is glued up , this just makes it alot easier to fit, and gives us material to plane and trim to insure we have the final fit exactly as we want, basically it give us room to correct any discrepancies we could have in the dovetailing, a good idea considering all the various angles and shaping…just remember, we can remove material alot easier than we can add it on , its back to that "sneak up on it thing"… just makes a lot of sense,
we concluded the day having the upper drawers in the case, and the bottom drawer glued, so today we finish shaping the bottom drawer and move on to the rest of drawers…
Update : well we have an issue , It seems when we dry fitted the drawer and checked our measurement , I made a mistake, and the drawer is 1/2 too wide at the top and 1/8 at the bottom, so tomorrow see drawers continued, and see how we fixed it as well , my new idea has me now going back to the orginal way I made the drawers , to be continued
Later y'all
