Guide To Surfboard Fins
Fins have a huge impact on the feel, stability, drive and maneuverability of a surfboard – factors that can completely alter the way you experience surfing. This article provides some basic information on fins, from key terms and measurements to common setups, which will help you make educated fin-buying decisions.
Terms and Measurements
These terms describe elements of fin design that affect the way a surfboard will perform in the water.
FOILWhen you look at a surf fin, you'll notice that it is shaped in an aerodynamic fashion from its front edge to the backside. Most often, the thickest portion of the fin is the in the middle, while the thinnest part is the outer edges. This shape is known as the fin's foil, and it has a big impact on the way the water flows under the board. Some fins are flat on one side and foiled on the other (usually side fins), while others are foiled on either side (single/center fins). The idea is to create lift under the surfboard and help propel it most effectively in different wave conditions. The more pronounced the foil, the more lift it will provide. Unfortunately, this also causes more drag on the board, which slows it down.
RAKEThe rake measures how far back the fin curves in relation to its base. To find a fin's rake, imagine a flat line continuing out from the base of the fin; next imagine a line that extends from the back of the fin base to the very tip of the fin. The angle that these two lines form where they intersect at the back of the fin base is the rake. The smaller the angle, the farther back the fin tip reaches (a larger offset from the base). Fins with a small rake/large offset will propel the board faster and remain fairly stable, but there is a sacrifice in turnability. Fins with a large rake/small offset give the surfboard a tighter turning radius, but don't offer as much stability. As usual, you'll need to strike an effective balance determined by the type of waves you ride and the style of board you have.
FLEXThe flex or stiffness of a fin plays a big part in the way a surfboard will ultimately handle on the water. If you are a beginner, stiff fins are more forgiving and will give you the stability you need, so you might start there. Their lack of flex makes it hard to make sharp turns, and the turns you do make will be wide and sweeping. However, a stiff fin has the tendency to revert quickly to its natural position, so the turns will be faster than with a flexy fin.Flexible fins add a level of feel to the board that is hard to match with their stiffer counterparts. They are slower to reach their maximum flex, meaning the board continues to respond to the rider's input throughout a turn. This can cause some problems for new surfers, as it makes the board more difficult to control.
BASE LENGTHThis measures what is usually the widest point of the fin's outline – the base. The base length impacts the way that a board will turn and drive (accelerate through turns). A longer base provides more surface area to push against the water, so turns are stronger and drive is increased. However, the larger base doesn't permit the board to turn sharply, so if that's what you're after, go for a fin with a shorter base length.
HEIGHT / DEPTHThe depth of a fin is basically how far it sticks into the water, measured from the bottom of the surfboard to the tallest point on the fin. Depth affects the way a board will grip the water through turns, and it determines how well the board remains stable. The taller the fin, the more hold it will have in the water, providing the rider more control. While shorter fins don't grip the water as well, they do allow the board to slide-out a little, which some surfers enjoy.
Setups / Placement
Ever wonder why some surfboards have five fins, while others get away with just one? Simply put, there are countless setup possibilities, but only two major factors that greatly impact fin schemes: combined surface area and placement on the board.
The surface area of the fins – remember, we're talking about all of the fins added up – affects the way that the board feels and how easy it is to control. Greater fin area provides more control and stability, but also drags the board down. Less fin area gives the board more speed, but makes it more difficult to control.
Fin placement makes a difference in the way the board will respond and turn. It's easier to make tight, sharp turns with the fins placed closer to the center of the board (lengthwise), because the axis of the movement is more balanced. However, while it may be easier to turn, it is harder to control forward-set fins. If you need more balance and drive, you should try a board with fins placed closer to the tail. You'll feel more stable on the board, but turns will be wider and the board will feel stiffer.
Here are some explanations and suggestions for a few different types of fin setups:
ONE FIN (a.k.a. Single Fin)Single fins are typical on longboards, as well as on beginning surfboards. The idea behind the single fin is to provide stability and control. Unfortunately, the increased control also means a sacrifice in performance, as the movements that a single fin allows are restricted to sweeping turns and straight-lined charges.
TWO FINS (a.k.a. Twin-Fin)Twin-fin boards are harder to control in large waves but offer good maneuverability in smaller conditions. They are usually found on shortboards and fish boards, because the two-fin setup encourages speed.
THREE FINS (a.k.a. Thruster)The thruster setup is the most common, and is found on all kinds of boards. It performs well under most ocean conditions, lending a stable feel to a maneuverable board. The outside fins are flat on the inside to increase drive, while the center fin is foiled normally. Additionally, the outer fins are toed-in to speed up the board and allow it to turn more easily. A thruster set-up is the go-to choice for most shapers.
Glasses-In vs. Removable
Surfboard shapers decide on the maximum number, placement and brand/type of fins for their boards before you ever see it in the store. However, the choice is still yours when it comes to your fins. Think of them as an extension of the board itself – if you don't like the way the shaper has the fins set up, the board probably isn't for you. That having been said, the first fin-related thing you'll want to look at when checking out a potential board is the system itself. Are the fins permanently glassed-in, or are there fin boxes that allow you to swap out the fins (if they break, for instance)? Here are some pros and cons of these two types of fin systems:
GLASSED-INThis type of system is most common in retro, twin-fin boards, but some new boards do still come with glassed-in fins. Aesthetically, having the fins laminated right into the board appears pretty classy, but are there other benefits besides looks alone? If done correctly, glassed-in fins are structurally more sound than removable fins, because the entire base of the fin becomes a part of the board. The laminated fin base also affects the way that the board cuts through the water, so more experienced surfers will notice better performance as well. Now it's time to get real about the changing face of surfing. Glassed-in fins have become virtually extinct in the shadow of removable fin systems. They are a pain to replace if they break (not to mention expensive, as you'll need to pay someone to do it for you), they cannot be adjusted in any way, and they make traveling with your surfboard incredibly frustrating. Most shapers have turned their backs on glassed-in fins, instead opting to outfit their boards with newer fin technology. It's made a big difference. Read on…
REMOVABLESince the 1960s, shapers have toyed with the idea of removable fin systems. The problems posed by traditional glassed-in fins – they're hard to fix, ship and stock – finally led to revolutionary advances in fin technology on a mainstream scale. The 1990s saw a widespread shift from laminated fins to removable setups, and the surfing industry hasn't looked back since. Here's how it works: instead of permanently attaching the fin itself to the board, a fin box is glassed-in instead. Each fin box has a groove that only matches one particular brand of fin, but surfers can change the style, shape and size at their discretion. With very little effort and a fin "key" (a small screwdriver-like device for securing a fin in its box), it's possible to completely alter the type and/or number of fins on a board to suit varying surf conditions. Altering fin setups is quick and easy, usually taking less than a minute to complete.
While it's great that adjustments, travel, storage and repair have become easier with the introduction of removable fins, there are still drawbacks to the new equipment. The largest issue is, perhaps, coping with the sheer number of possibilities that this system offers. For newbie surfers especially, having to face the endless options associated with a removable fin setup can be daunting and confusing. Luckily, almost every surfboard comes with a set of fins already chosen for you. The shaper is charged with selecting fins that will best achieve the purpose of each board, taking the type of waves and style of riding into consideration.
Removable fin systems are easy, customizable, portable and inexpensive – but they aren't for everyone. Despite their benefits, some shapers and pro surfers refuse to go down that road, claiming that the simplicity and strength of glassed-in fins makes the surfing better. It's a choice you'll need to make for yourself, but at least now you know the whole story.
Fin Systems
Here is a glimpse at a few of the major movers and shakers in the fin industry, and the technologies they've introduced that make them unique.
FIN CONTROL SYSTEMS (FCS)Fin Control Systems (better known as FCS) is a leading producer of quality surfboard fins worldwide; in fact, four of the last five surfing world champions were riding FCS fins at the time of their win. They are well made and known for their durability and performance. The key to FCS's success may be its revolutionary fin-plug design, whereby the fin box is anchored deep into the surfboard, grasping the laminates on both the deck and underside of the board. Most fin plugs are rooted into the foam core alone, then glassed into place using resin. FCS fin plugs are more a part of the surfboard construction, making them far more resilient and less likely to break.The interface between FCS fins and their fin plugs is also unique. Each fin is attached to the board by placing two prongs that stick out of the bottom of the fin into two separate, circular fin plugs. The fins, once screwed into place, are less likely to move laterally (which is a typical complaint regarding fin boxes). The result is a stronger hold back to front and top to bottom. Because their system is completely different from all other fin companies, FCS fins can only be used with FCS fin plugs.
FUTURE SYSTEMSFuture fins are another high-quality option for surfers. Unlike FCS's two-pronged fin plug system, the bases of Future fins are tapered to fit into elongated fin boxes, which are glassed into the board's bottom. The entire base of the fin is secured in the Future system with an angled screw, meaning that there is a strong hold from back to front. There is still a little wiggle room from side to side, so they need to be secured with a fin key every time you surf for maximum hold. Like FCS fins, Future fins are designed to only work with Future fin boxes. (Future does, however, make replacement fins that are compatible with other companies' systems, but they are marked as such.)
RAINBOW FIN CO.The Rainbow fin system is similar to that of Future Systems', just with slightly smaller fin boxes. The fins themselves are the same size, however only a small portion of the base of the fin actually fits into the box, an interface that is unique to Rainbow. Like Future Systems, Rainbow Fin Co. know that not all boards come with their fin boxes; therefore, they allow customers to decide what type of fin base they need. Surfers can get Rainbow fins that are shaped to fit into systems other than Rainbow's own, such as FCS, Future, LokBox and others.
LONGBOARD FINS / FIN BOXESLongboard fins are inherently different from normal shortboard systems. Unlike the typical fin that fits tightly into a fin box or fin plug, the base of a longboard fin fills in only part of its fin box. The idea is to lend adjustability to the fin setup; an extra long fin box means that the fin can sit closer to the back of the board (for more control), or closer to the center of the board (for looser turns and added feel). The fin slips into the box and is screwed into the channel that runs along the bottom (like Burton's binding system on snowboards). The ability to customize the fin to match the conditions of the surf is extra important for longboarders – especially those who don't have a huge quiver of boards to choose from.
PATAGONIA FIN BOXESAt the helm of Patagonia surfboard design team is Fletcher Chouinard, their in-house master shaper. The proprietary fin system that has emerged under Chouinard is unlike any other. Whereas most fins are screwed into place at the fin box itself (on the underside of the surfboard), Patagonia's fins are tightened from the board's deck. Additionally, the outline of the fin box, which extends through the entire thickness of the board, is made up of small curves, which serve to hold the fin in place extra snuggly.
TURBO TUNNELThe Turbo Tunnel fin is like nothing else in the water. The innovative design features a tube running through the center of the fin lengthwise, which gives the fin the ability to grip the wave extra tightly. It is designed to give the rider longer nose rides, smoother re-entries, quicker turns, increased stability, greater overall control and more creativity in his maneuvers. The Turbo Tunnel fin gives a board more speed and maneuverability than a standard fin, and gives the surfer control over not only the forward direction and horizontal plane, but the vertical plane as well. It is designed for use as a single center fin or as the center fin in a Thruster setup.

Does Fashion Make Sense?
Several months ago, I was contacted by a journalist based in London. Josh writes for Pigeons & Peacocks, a fashion magazine produced by University of the Arts. Issue #8, which is now available for purchase, explores sensory perception and how it impacts fashion. For his article, Josh was exploring synesthesia and sensory overload in terms of psychedelic drugs, and it's correspondence with fashion, art and design.
The result of several week of correspondences is a great article, An Ayahuasca Sense of Fashion. While LSD was a fashionable drug during the 1970s to induce expanded forms of consciousness and creativity, ayahuasca is currently gaining popularity. A tea made in the Amazons, ayahuasca induces an experience that merges the senses together, much like synesthesia.

Beverly Hills News – Acting Postmaster to Hold Meet-and-Greet at Maple Post Office Fridays
Posted: Monday, January 16, 2017 – 12:52 PM
By Victoria Talbot
The US Postal Service is making an effort to connect with Beverly Hills residents who are frustrated with undelivered mail, mail delivered to the wrong address, lost packages, stolen mail, days when there is no delivery, poor window service (or no window service), lost vacation mail, failed vacation holds, lost mail, and the list goes on and on. Their solution? Friday meet-and-greets.
The Maple Post Office, located at 325 N. Maple Drive, will host Fridays with Acting Postmaster DeLisa Jackson, beginning 10 a.m.-3 p.m. last Friday (press release came after-the-fact).
"Acting Beverly Hills Postmaster DeLisa Jackson will host meet-and-greet sessions to speak directly with Beverly Hills customers regarding mail issues."
The Postal Service adds, "With the intention of making it easier for Beverly Hills customers to talk with the U.S. Postal Service, a customer-only telephone line has been established along with weekly meet-and-greet events on Fridays. USPS customers also have the option of calling (310) 247-3404 to provide details regarding any mail issues. Customers are asked to leave a detailed message including a callback number. They will receive a return call within 24 hours or the next business day."
The Courier wants to hear about your experience. We have written dozens of articles and published dozens of letters on the subject of the post office, postal service, the USPS and US Postal Inspectors in response to the community and their complaints. We, too, have had problems with the USPS.
Let us know if there are indeed, call backs, and if you met with the Acting Postmaster, DeLisa Jackson, how was your visit.
2 responses to "Beverly Hills News – Acting Postmaster to Hold Meet-and-Greet at Maple Post Office Fridays"
I should not have to attend a Meet and Greet with the temporary postmistress to say:
1. We constantly get some else's mail.
2. Mail is left on front steps even though our mail slot is large enough to receive all mail.
3. Mail is pushed part way through the mail slot even though if could easily be pushed through the slot.
4. We have often asked to have our mail held. When we return home, we see that most of our mail was already delivered and not held.Our mail carriers say that relief carriers did not know to hold mail.
5. More often then not, mail carriers are talking on their cell phones and not paying attention.
6. We received someone else's absentee ballots for the last election. I chased the mail carrier who was listening on his ear phones and could not hear me. When I gave him him the misdelivered ballots, he said "Have a Nice Day" and walked away from me.
We are convinced that for whatever reasons that no one is in charge or cares to require the mail carriers to do their jobs.
I also said that we should not have to meet with someone to find that many others are waiting their turns and we are only that your carriers do their jobs. In my business, I would fire anyone who behaves the way your carriers do.
What about all of the letters of our frustrations? We told the post office then about our frustrations.. You knew what the problems were and did not do anything about them.
Why should we expect anything better now?

*Transparency from banks about the communities they do and don't serve
*An incentive structure to encourage banks to fully engage with people and businesses in all communities
*A cap on extortionate lending rates
*A commitment from banks to re-invest 1% of their profits for social benefit
Why was the Better Banking Campaign set up?
Over the past two years, billions of pounds of taxpayers' money has been used to bail-out the banking sector. However, we believe that banks should be doing much more to deliver a genuine social return on our investment. Up to 9 million people aren't able to access banking services in a fair and equal way in the UK, often forcing them to turn to high-cost lenders or loan sharks for help. The recession has also meant that small businesses, charities and social enterprises have struggled to access finance.
The financial crisis, along with the...General Election, have presented us with a once in a generation opportunity to transform the banking sector so that it works in the interests of us all. If we are able to take it, it could help eradicate long-term problems such as financial exclusion which have affected some of the most disadvantaged communities in our society for many years. The Better Banking Campaign works to ensure that this opportunity is not missed.

Could Dalia Itzik & Tzipi Livni be MORE Out of Touch? Doubtful.
This week Kadima made a grand affair of repealing the Drought Levy going into effect this month. Personally I can't believe it. Israel's Kinneret water source is a full 5 meters below its waterline.
It is hovering at a critical level - Meaning any further water tap below these levels can permanently damage the entire source. In Israel they are already talking about a dead lake soon (meaning not enough water to sustain the Lake's balance which can lead to oxygen depletion & the death of all the fish & wildlife) not too mention the depletion of our fresh water source.
Aquifers Also Tapped Out
The same can be said for Israel's natural below ground aquifers, they are in danger of permanent damage from salination due to excess pumping. Israel is in a severe drought and it will take a few years to build desalinization capacity to equal current consumption. Thankfully, the water levy encourages conservation in the mean time until that can happen. And let's be clear, without a lowering of consumption the forecast is that turning on the faucet will soon result in NO WATER COMING OUT!
Drought Levy
Under the levy now in effect as of November, every household member is allocated a certain monthly amount of water, which incidentally is quite cheap overall and sufficient. Excessive use beyond the allocation is charged at a higher level, pretty reasonable stuff considering the national challenge.
Bonus, since the plan was announced a dramatic lowering of consumption has resulted – During the peak summer months yet! Clearly, when faced with a levy for excess use people perk up & pay attention, water consumption goes down. This isn't rocket science, nor is the levy unmanageable fiscally by any stretch.
Kadima's press conference this week complete with signage & catch phrases was the latest irresponsible play by the party. They are calling it the water tax & want it repealed. Do they have alternatives to suggest? Not really. Are they being irresponsible in the extreme? Most certainly, and what's the payoff? Sheer Populism. Livni stripped of her titles, Dalia Itzik stripped of her Knesset speaker's chair are both rather desperate it seems to gain cheap political points any way they can in a most pitiful manner.
Kadima in Opposition.. With the World.
At a time when the whole world has moved to reduced largess, conservation where possible, sustainable development and due to economics an effort toward some minimalism & enhanced personal responsibility - Kadima bucks the trend. The 'drought tax' according to Kadima is get this a "violent, unjust tax".
If Kadima thinks that's violence, wait till they see how people react when they don't have any water in their taps. We need to conserve, many Israelis are sadly oblivious & I see copious water wastage often enough. Ok so some people are pigs, c'est la vie – No problem, let them pay to fill up the trough.
Link: Haaretz of all places savages Dalia Itzik, Livni & Kadima over this frankly absurd play..
Who can blame them? This is without a doubt the dumbest idea to pour out of Kadima in a while and there have been a few. Livni is proving to be a terrible leader & in lowly opposition yet. What a disaster if she were the Prime Minister of Israel, it is as simple as that. The Kadima motion will go before the Knesset to repeal the already voted on & passed water levy bill – That's how stupid this is..

Mustangs girls soccer still aiming high following stellar season
Rachel Boyer
Emily Nash
The Mounds View High School girls soccer team put together probably the best regular season in the history of the program last year. With a solid nucleus returning from that team, the Mustangs are optimistic that the 2014 campaign can be another for the ages.
Mounds View brings back eight starters and 13 letterwinners from last year's team that entered the state tournament undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the state and gave up a total of five goals in 18 victories.
"We believe we will be one of the top teams in the state again," said head coach Terri Patraw. "There is too much talent at Mounds View right now for us not to be."
Patraw is back for her second season coaching the Mustangs. She is a Mounds View graduate who went on to play and coach Division I college soccer before returning to coach her high school alma mater.
With three of its four starting defenders returning, it can be expected that the Mustangs will once again be stingy in the goals-against department. The returning defenders are juniors Julia Anderson, Lauren Wilkstrom and Emily Nash. The last line of defense, the goalkeepers, are senior Carlye Wright and junior newcomer Olivia Elvidge.
The team's offense will be led by juniors Rachel Boyer and Mariah Northrop. Boyer finished among the top goal scorers in the state with 23 to go along with 10 assists while Northrop led Mounds View with 15 assists while also scoring four goals.
At midfield, Mounds View has senior tri-captains Marnie Zilka, Heather Ley and Emmy Michaelson.
"Those three are the heart and soul of our team," Patraw said.
In addition to Elvidge, Mounds View has seven other newcomers on the roster. They are freshmen Shania Fleming, Isabelle Conlin, Clare Schooley, Grace Kruger, Brittany Benike and Rachel Schoneman and eighth grader Sarah Johnston.
"These young kids are a really talented group that will have a tremendous impact on our program," Patraw said. "They are both fast and skilled."
With all the pieces that Patraw has assembled this fall, the goals of the squad remain high. Those goals include defending the Suburban East Conference and Section 5AA championships won last year.
The even bigger goal, however, has to do with the state tournament. Last year, after the unbelievable regular season, Mounds View lost in the state quarterfinals to Eden Prairie. The Mustangs would like to see their stay in the tournament last longer.
The road to the state tournament begins this week as Mounds View opens the regular season with a pair of matches. The Mustangs kick things off Thursday at 7 p.m. with a match at Champlin Park. Game two is Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Mustang Stadium against Osseo.
Next week, Mounds View faces a pair of teams that were ranked much of last season in Burnsville and Mahtomedi. Burnsville, which visits Mounds View on Aug. 26, was ranked No. 1 in the second-to-last coaches poll of the season before Mounds View unseated the Blaze in the final week. Mahtomedi, which hosts Mounds View on Aug. 28, was ranked as high as fourth last fall.

It seemed for a while that Charlie Crist's gamble by going Independent might have paid off as he lead many recent polls. However, Rasmussen Reports has released the first poll taking after Tuesday's primaries and it shows the now official Republican nominee Marco Rubio with a 10 percent lead, and only five percent of likely voters undecided. However, Crist is still viewed more favorably by Floridians.
In a poll of 750 "likely voters" taken yesterday, 40 percent say they'll vote for Rubio, 30 percent for Charlie Crist, and only 21 percent for Democrat Kendrick Meek. Four percent say they'll vote for "some other candidate" and only 5 percent say they're undecided.
Rasmussen, seen by some as a polling firm whose methods slightly favor Republicans, last showed Crist with a lead in a May 3 poll, and tied with Rubio in a June 7 poll. However, their numbers have fluctuated wildly.
However, the last available poll from Quinnipiac, taken between August 11 and 16, showed Crist with a 39 percent lead to Rubio's 32 and Meek's 16. Quinnipiac's poll has been consistent in the past few months in showing a Crist lead.

According to Rasmussen, Crist is still seen more favorably than the other candidates with 56 percent viewing him as either "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable." Rubio is viewed by 51 percent as favorable. Only 12 percent say they don't know that much about Meek to have an impression, which is surprising considering he was largely unknown outside his party in the past few months. The bad news is that more view him as unfavorable (47 percent) than favorable (41 percent).

Now there is one more reason my husband and I need to venture beyond Manhattan on one of NYC weekends and spend it in Brooklyn. The New York Times reports that there is a new culinary movement – an artisan movement that is getting back to the roots of creating food.
The 20- and 30-somethings leading this movement are hand-making pickles, cheeses and chocolates the way others form bands and artists' collectives. They have a sense of community and an appreciation for traditional methods and flavors. They also share an aesthetic that's equal parts 19th and 21st century, with a taste for bold graphics, salvaged wood and, for the men, scruffy beards.
These artisans are also entrepreneurs. Not only are they having fun learning how to make good food, they are finding ways to sell what they are making.
Bartering chocolates for beers, selling ricotta cheese out of the back a truck, and selling at the Brooklyn Flea, the Fort Greene flea market, are all ways that these artisans are getting their products out to consumers. Many don't have to do it that way for long. Their specially made foods find more conventional markets quickly.
Rick and Michael Mast, the brother team behind Mast Brothers Chocolate who traded chocolate truffles for beer, now have a national following. Betsy Devine and Rachel Mark, partners who sold their Salvatore Bklyn ricotta out of the back of a truck, now have eight stores that distribute the cheese that they learned to make themselves after a trip to Tuscany.
It's really exciting to see all the ways that people are getting back to the roots of food. Food is such a community builder when the making and the enjoying of it is shared, and it looks like this new generation of Brooklynites have that figured out.
What are you seeing in your own communities? Are there any food related activities that are bringing people together?

Paula Radcliffe plots curtain call in the capital
The marathon world record-holder hopes foot injury will not halt plans for farewell race, Ron Lewis writes
Paula Radcliffe appears to be winning her long battle with injury and remains on course to return to competitive action at next year's London marathon.
Radcliffe is viewing the race as both a comeback and a farewell and says she has seen recent improvements with her injured left foot in training that lead her to believe that she can compete to a decent standard.
It will have been four years since she last ran competitively over 26 miles when the race comes around next April, but Radcliffe, 40, the marathon world record-holder, says that she will run again only if she believes she can be competitive. She is convinced that it will not hamper taking part in future fun runs with her children.

It caught many by surprise. The hanging of Saddam Hussein was expected to end an era of tyranny. For years the atrocities of the Saddam Hussein regime were flashed on television screens, spouted by politicians and, lately, displayed in the hastily-established Iraqi courts. Continue Reading »

BCI Needs Your Ideas
BCI's twice-a-year catalogue does more than help provide revenue for daily operations; its offerings can also be an important contribution toward spreading the message about bats. When asked about the unique bat jewelry or t-shirt they're wearing, many members take the opportunity to talk about bats and BCI. Other catalogue items are more directly educational, such as our audiovisual programs, activity books, and posters.
BCI encourages your ideas on what you would like to see in the catalogue. We're particularly interested in educational items and what would best help you educate others. For instance, numerous requests from teachers led directly to the production of our Educator's Activity Book About Bats and to our newest video, "Very Elementary Bats."
We welcome all ideas: new topics for educational programs, books and booklets, new posters, jewelry, clothing, novelty items, or something we haven't even thought of yet. What would you like to see more of? Less of? Our aim is to provide you with the best tools we can to help you educate others about bats and to proclaim your support for their conservation.

Truly deserving of the accolade a modern classic, Donna Tartt's novel is a remarkable achievement—both compelling and elegant, dramatic and playful. Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and forever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
My take: 3 stars ***SPOILERS***
I have come and gone on this one. I disliked it, loved it, and finally, upon the last page, wonder if I should dislike it again.
Let me explain.
While I read to around 200 pages, I was struck by the similarities in this book and the move from 1989, "The Dead Poet's Society" (DPS). I even went as far to chart the characters in each:
Neil = son of overbearing father
Neil = ?
See what I mean?
Then, I kept reading and the story blossomed for me. The characters were richly drawn, and I was completely involved in the story. Meeting Bunny's family gave me a new understanding of his outlook on life, and the reasons behind his parasitic nature. Seeing Camilla and Charles spiral apart from one another was also interesting. Henry progressed from benevolent to malevolent, which I loved. Francis also started coming apart at the seams. Richard, as the narrator, was probably the least-known character to me.
However, I then come to the end. I warned of spoilers, so if you don't want the main one, STOP READING NOW.
When Henry kills himself, I was right back to DPS. Remember when Neil's father forces him to leave his beloved school and go to a military academy? And all because he wants to play the lead in "A Midsummer Night's Dream"? Neil shoots himself that very night, in his father's study. Ouch.
I know there are more differences than similarities, but the similarities are so striking that they are hard for me to discount.
"A Separate Peace" by John Knowles also deals with life among boys at a prestigious prep school. There is also a death. However, this is where the similarities end. Knowles' book stands on its own. Which is not quite what I can say about Tarrt's first novel.
All-in-all, the book was very well-written, prompting me to make numerous notes and highlights. If the path of the book were not so close to DPS, it would have been a solid 4 looks. However, the best I can do right now is 3.

Each year I tend to pick up just a single retail blaster of Upper Deck's flagship hockey release around the holidays. I guess it's habit more than anything, I haven't completed this set in years but I like to get a small sampling and it's always fun to rip open some packs for a change of pace.
first pack I opened contained the card everyone was searching for, Connor McDavid's Young Guns rookie! Would my hot streak be extended? Was there an Auston Matthews or Patrik Laine Young Guns waiting for me in this year's blaster?
So yeah, two less than exciting Young Guns and a pile of cards that are already nickel box fodder. Until next year Upper Deck!
Still trading, still collecting - It seems almost trivial to think about these days, but I've been wondering about the status of people's card collections given the general state of the w...

(Question from a reader living near a bus station)
A bus station's announcements a couple of blocks away from me actually wakes me up in the morning! In the tiny parking lot it is deafeningly loud!
I was wondering if my city may have a decibel level limit. The weekday noise ordinance is only until 7am, so that is of little help.
I was also wondering what equipment is used to measure in decibels and where this might be obtained.

Many students are busy with graduate-school applications this time of year, and although it will be a few more months before most of them learn the fate of their applications, good news will eventually come for those who are accepted by at least one program. Today, I have a few thoughts to share for those who end up in the enviable situation of having to choose between offers of acceptance from two or more programs. Many factors are likely to be considered when deciding which offer to accept, and the significance of each factor can differ from one person to the next. Financial considerations often weigh heavily.
This is one main reason why, in many disciplines, students tend to be provided with significant financial support while they are in graduate school. Read this article on the MyGraduateSchool web site: How much does grad school cost: Can I afford it? for more information on calculating the costs of graduate school and exploring the many sources of funding. Providing ample financial support to graduate students allows them to be engaged full-time in their studies and research without needing to take a job in order to pay for living costs, the costs of tuition and fees, etc. There is no standard amount or form of financial support from one graduate program to another, and in some disciplines there tends be very little or nothing provided or guaranteed to students in most graduate programs. Money to support graduate students tends to be available in disciplines in which the research done by faculty members attracts substantial amounts of research funding. This would include, for example, anything related to the natural sciences like chemistry, physics, biology or life sciences, and related subfields, and also most of the social sciences, like psychology, economics, sociology, and more.
It has been my impression that over the past 10 or 15 years, there has been a trend toward more and more graduate schools using money as a tool for recruiting the most promising candidates to accept their offers of enrolment. This has certainly been the case in Canada, at least. We now hear frequently of cases in which two programs get into a "bidding war" over a particular student who seems to be exceptionally promising. In most such instances, however, it's not really the graduate schools that are competing for the student. Instead, it really amounts to two potential graduate supervisors competing to reel in what they both perceive as a big catch. A "big catch" for most university faculty members engaged in research is someone who will be a tremendous asset when it comes to actually getting that research done. Some grad-school candidates are perceived as rising young superstars, and so they may become hotly desired by more than one potential supervisor, who may then decide to compete for the student with the easiest tool at their disposal – taxpayers' dollars. (I bet a lot of readers did not know that money granted to scientists by government agencies to carrying out research is sometimes used in this way).
When it comes to the interests of the students who find themselves in these situations, however, there tends to be two negative, but not inevitable, outcomes. The first negative thing is that a student whose confidence is understandably bolstered by the fact that potential supervisors are competing for them, misjudge the significance of what it really means, and they become deluded about the greatness of their past accomplishments. The student eventually ends up in one of the programs, where he or she feels that they have already proven something to at least someone – the person or people who tried so hard to get them there. In reality, the money was used to lure promise, not proven abilities and accomplishments. As a new graduate student, one has not yet done anything at all to benefit the program, the school, or to his or her graduate supervisor. Only some promise… still unproven.
But, even if students who face competing financial offers manage to keep that fact from going to their heads, there is still another pitfall to beware of and avoid. Understandably, a student in this situation may feel very tempted to take up the best financial offer. The problem is that this may diminish the influence of other factors, including some that may be more relevant to the student's long-term goals. These other factors are going to be related to the respective training environments and the opportunities that may be available at the two schools, and these considerations should remain heavily and firmly weighted in the mind of the applicant so that a bit of money doesn't displace them before important decisions are made.
Frankly, I would never try to recruit a graduate student to join my research team with any kind of special monetary enticement. I prefer to offer the same financial support package to anyone who I decide to accept as a new graduate student. I assume that students interested in doing their graduate studies and research under my supervision have reasons related to the research, the research environment, the properties of the graduate program, and other such relevant factors. And so they should, as these are relevant things to consider when choosing between potential programs and supervisors. I would personally lose interest immediately in any potential graduate students who told me they were being drawn to another place by a superior financial offer. In my opinion, anyone who thinks a few thousand dollars over the course of 5 years in graduate school is the most important consideration when it comes to choosing a graduate supervisor is probably lacking the good judgment they will need to succeed.

It is embarrassing to realize that in a bus people near you are shrinking their nose, and it takes a lot to accept that yes i am stinking, but do not worry you can save yourself the embarrassment. Try using these easy home remedies for body odor problems especially for smelly armpits.What inspired me to share these natural ways to deal with body odor in my blog is that using these remedies has very less chances of side effects. We all are aware that the deodorants available in the market sometimes may result in darkened and irritated skin.
What is Body Odor ?
Body odor is an unpleasant smell that comes out from an individuals body. The causes for body odor vary from person to person and depends on various factors like gender, medication, fungal infections, genetics etc.
Perspiration is part of cooling process of the body. Do you know sweat does not have any bad smell of its own? It actually reacts with the bacteria accumulated on the skin and releases an unpleasant odor. The temperature of the underarm area is warm, when sweat mixes with the bacteria present on the skin it dwells due to the warm and moist condition that it gets in the armpit region and emanates odor.
7 Effective Home Remedies to Get Rid of Body Odor
1. Vinegar Dab-on
Take apple cider vinegar in a cotton ball and dab it on the armpit. This helps to reduce body odor effectively.
Use of antibacterial soap and deodorant soap while bathing works good if the body odor is due to excessive sweating / perspiration.
2. Use Baking Soda
Powder the under-arms with baking soda. Mix baking soda in warm water and soak the feet to eliminate foot odor naturally.
3. Tomato juice Soak
Add half cup of tomato juice in bath water and soak yourself for 15 mins in it before bathing, this will help to cure body odor naturally.
4. Treat with Herbs
Another good home remedy for body odor is Tea-tree and Rosemary, both these anti bacterial herbs can be mixed with essential oil and water and applied where needed.
5. Milk of Magnesia to Eliminate Body odor
Consumption of alcohol and smoking also adds to the body odor problem. Magnesium hydroxide aka Milk of Magnesia is a wonderful home remedy for body odor. Milk of Magnesia acts as a natural deodorant and removes body odor, once applied after shower it lasts for the entire day.
6. Gram Flour And Yogurt Paste
Make a paste with gram flour and yogurt. Gently massage your body with this ubtan (paste) before bathing. This will open up the pores and will allow your skin to breathe well, thus aiding in elimination of body odour.
7. Try out a Body detox
There can be different reasons for having body odor problem. Sometimes the reason may be within the body. The undigested food or improper digestion may lead to toxin build up within the body. To flush out these toxins a good detox program can be considered. The detox will leave the body fresh and clean, thus will also support in eliminating body odor. You may try this simple home body detox.
8. Eat green leafy vegetables like Spinach, Parsley, Garden Cress, these leafy veggies have Chlorophyll which is believed to act as an internal deodorant. According to a study listed in NCBI website, "the administration of chlorophyllin tablets was found to be helpful in controlling body and fecal odors". Here it is very important for me to mention that before you choose to take Chrophyll supplementation you must first consult a physician for professional guidance.
However you can go by the home remedy i.e eating food that has high content of Chlorophyll in it like Parsley and Kale. Juicing it out is the best way to retain the nutritive value of the greens.
Practice these tips daily to get rid of body odor
- Take these important measures to avoid bad smelling body
- Adding some drops of rose water to the bath water is one simple and effective home remedy for body odor.
- Dry well the underarm and groin area after shower or bath.
- Use baby powder for underarms instead of chemical based deodorants to keep the perspiration area dry.
- Wear clean and washed clothes everyday even if you feel it is smelling ok.
- Poor hygiene give germs and bacteria chance to grow on you skin. By maintaining good hygiene you can keep body odor problem at bay.

First time I worked Matt I was really impressed because he was able to teach me a huge amount in a short period of time. Matt made me realize that another level of fuelling your body exists which made me feel well within myself, light, powerful and more confident heading into matches.
Before I thought that I always had to eat the same carbohydrates (pasta or rice for example) or I wouldn't have enough energy. Matt made me realise that are other options that have greater benefits that make my body feel better all round.
Thank you for this amazing experience its made me feel better every day!
Before working with Matt I thought of food as means to an end and never focused on variety or nutrients, he completely challenged and changed my thoughts on food and the benefits of micronutrients as well as the pitfalls of getting sucked in to the many fad diets and new age ideas of body composition and performance.
I really enjoyed working with Matt and continue to do so, he is not only knowledgable but extremely personable and made the sessions fun and informative. Also, the food tastes INCREDIBLE!
Matt is beyond your ordinary nutritionist and chef! Since working with Matt have felt a huge difference in both my energy levels and speed of recovery while performing. I now have the knowledge to know when and what I have to eat to stay healthy and perform at a high level every week.
If you want to work with one of the best nutritionist out there then Matt is your guy.

Deluge sums up the first Receiving Day of the RGI's 151st Annual Show – in terms of rain and the number of artists who braved the weather to submit their works at The Mitchell on Wednesday 23 August.
Recent GSA graduate, Yaun Zhang, travelled up from London to submit her work 'The Full Moon Rise and the Dumpling Sky'. Yaun was one of this year's RGI Graduate Prize Award winners, and about to start her MFA studies at Chelsea College.
One of the special deliveries of the day was particularly rain soaked, a sculpture which until this morning, graced the garden of the late and much loved artist and RGI, George Wyllie.
If you've yet to submit to the Annual, RGI Secretary Lesley Nichol and Kelly Gallery Curator Lynne Mackenzie will be back in the main gallery of The Mitchell, tomorrow between 9am and 7pm for the for the final Receiving Day.

Before the asteroid we let ourselves be defined by labels: the athlete, the outcast, the slacker, the overachiever. But then we all looked up and everything changed. They said it would be here in two months. That gave us two months to leave our labels behind. Two months to become something bigger than what we'd been, something that would last even after the end.
When I started this book, I was positively surprised. I was hooked from the very first page. It wasn't the story so much as the writing that captured my attention. It was good. First impression: a very insightful, intelligent coming-of-age story. The kind where you start to expect at least two memorable quotes per page. The story is set in a very realistic, perfectly normal world, until suddenly there's a knife hanging above everyone's head in the shape of an asteroid. Two months. That's all they know for sure. A 66,6% chance the world is going to hell in less than eight weeks. What do you do once you only have two months of certainty left? I absolutely loved this. Especially because it was clear from the beginning that there's was no way to predict how things would turn out.
The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world. You're part of this cosmic community of people who've thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be.
Everything started out very slow paced, but that's exactly what this kind of book needs. It's not the destination so much as the journey, right? The focus was mainly on character development, on the complexity of personalities, on thoughts. A very welcome change from the YA novels with faced paced stories and mostly superficial characters.
The book is written in four different POVs. We follow the lives of four seemingly random high school students: Peter, Eliza, Andy and Anita. They couldn't be more different from each other, and to be fair, they are a bit stereotype, but in this case it actually served the story well. All of them are struggling in a way, somehow trapped in their own seemingly happy lives. They're questioning their integrity and their future. What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be happy? Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? They're trying to cast away their labels. I liked all of them. Obviously they were a bit naive and perhaps weak in the beginning, but it is a coming-of-age story after all. The whole point of the story is for them to grow. Or that's what I thought it was anyway.
It was clear from the very beginning that the characters were destined to meet. Maybe this is the wrong way of putting it, because they sort of knew each other already being in the same high school and all. It's better to say they were supposed to get involved in each other's lives. And it's when that happened that everything went to hell. Both literally and figuratively speaking. I started out loving this book and ended up hating it.
Strongly put.
Somehow the story suddenly picked up a lot of pace, and not for the better. All of a sudden things were happening very fast and developments were really rushed. We got numerous events in a row and the characters lost all their depth in the process. The characters were supposed to change for the better, but I thought they changed for the worst. Choices were made without much consideration, conversations became shallow and the significant 'events' were not what I was hoping for. I was hoping this book would tell me how the four characters would prepare for the upcoming apocalypse, each dealing in his/her own way, but instead I got the story of how the world went rogue and how they got accidentally caught up in a criminal/drug environment and all the problems this brings along. The characters I loved were now really annoying me.
Peter: In the beginning he seemed relatively intelligent, but by the end he became some self-sacrificing-wannabe-hero, who could have saved himself a lot of trouble if only he would have taken some time to think.
Andy: He became such a jerk, really. Like, he was this nice guy with a lot of bad habits, but at least he'd always had some integrity. But somehow he suddenly lost all of it and started blindly following his friend (whereas before at least he questioned Bobo) doing these insane things and started acting like a twelve year old. He did see the light in the end, but it was still annoying.
Eliza: She was actually pretty cool in the beginning. I liked that she was brave and independent, despite her shitty life. But then she changed. Sometimes she acted really immature. At one point her dad was missing and she didn't even give it a second thought. Like, she felt bad about it for a sec, but then she just went on with her life. And the things she said!
There's this moment that comes when you're hooking up with a guy. Maybe you know what I mean. You become his whole world. Or maybe it's just sex that becomes his whole world, but that's okay too. I think we have this idea that it's bad, the way dudes are always thinking about sex. But to me, it always seemed really pure. Like a puppy wanting a treat. And it starts to seem like such a little thing to do to make somebody so happy
So it's charity?
It sounds that way, doesn't it? It feels good too. Only not that good. Most of the time, anyway. But sometimes, when I think I must be the shittiest person in the world, sex lets me make somebody sublimely happy for a few minutes, and that makes me feel better.
I can't even begin to express how much this bothered me. It's disgusting, really. Sex is great because it gives women the chance to make men feel good? ZAEJGEKAGEAJKGRJAg. And then there was also some conversation with Miz and Anita about how hard it is to be pretty. ZKGJAEKRGJEKGRJ Sorry, I couldn't sympathize.
Anita: She was a pretty closed up girl with not a lot of friends. She lacked the courage to speak up for herself, to become who she really wanted to be. Gradually, she changed. And I liked that. It was interesting to see how she learned to follow her own dreams. But somehow, near the ending, it became over the top. At some point Andy and Bobo propose to set some buildings on fire and she's like: "Yes, I've always wanted to set a shop on fire, let's do this." WHAT? I mean, it's not so much that she does it (I suppose in the given circumstances it can be pretty liberating to trash some things), but more that she doesn't even have to think about. It was so unlike her.
And then there was the LAME ASS LOVE TRIANGLE. Although, is it a triangle when there are four people involved? Ugh, I hated it. The puberty level was insufferable. Also, it was too rushed. People who hadn't spoken more than ten sentences over the course of a year, suddenly fell MADLY in love. Please. This could have been done so much more mature.
Sometimes it felt like Wallach forgot about the nature of his characters in his attempt to build more and more tension. I don't think this book needed all the violence and fighting and kidnapping and godknowswhatelse. It didn't add anything to it. Because the book was too short to do all this properly. It's a shame, really. It had a lot of potential, but it didn't deliver. My expectations were just too high after the first half, because I wanted this book to be different. But it is an enjoyable and pretty fast read. And it is very well written.
And does the asteroid crash? I guess that's something you'll have to find out for yourself. I for one thought this was handled very well.
You didn't win the game of life by losing the least. That would be one of those—what were they called again?—Pyrrhic victories. Real winning was having the most to lose, even if it meant you might lose it all. Even though it meant you would lose it all, sooner or later.
And so they waited, together, for whatever was coming next.

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiency
What is Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase deficiency?
Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase (CPT) Deficiency is a very rare metabolic disorder that affects the skeletal muscles and their ability to function properly. CPT Deficiency belongs to a group of diseases that involve the defective breakdown (metabolism) of muscle fats (lipids). Prolonged periods of strenuous exercise can trigger an episode of symptoms. These may include muscle aches, stiffness, and weakness. Muscle tissue may break down (rhabdomylosis) and abnormal levels of myoglobulin may be present in the urine (myoglobinuria). The urine may appear dark reddish-brown after prolonged periods of exercise.
The onset of CTP deficiency can range anywhere from infancy to adulthood.
Other names for Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiency:
- CPT Deficiency
- Myopathy with Deficiency of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase
- Myopathy-Metabolic, Carnitine Palmitoyltransderase Deficiency
Condition Subdivisions
- Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiency Type 1
- Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiency Type 2; benign classical
- muscular form included; severe infantile form included
CPT Deficiency Type 1 typically affects adults and adolescents. CPT Deficiency Type 2 may also affect adults; however, a serious form of this type of the disease affects infants.
How is CTP deficiency diagnosed?
Several specialized tests are used to confirm a suspected diagnosis:
Blood tests can be used to detect the presence of certain chemicals in the blood that may indicate some metabolic diseases.
An exercise test is used to monitor a person's response to intense or moderate exercise. Blood samples are taken during exercise for testing.
Electromyography (EMG) uses small needle electrodes to measure the electrical currents in a muscle as it contracts. While an EMG can't definitively diagnose metabolic disease, it can be used to rule out a number of other types of neuromuscular disease that cause similar patterns of weakness.
A muscle biopsy requires the removal of a small piece of muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. The procedure is done either surgically, with an incision to expose the target muscle, or with a needle. A skin biopsy is also sometimes performed.
Other tests that may be needed include an electrocardiogram to test heart function, and brain imaging studies such as CT or MRI scans.
Genetic tests, using a blood sample, can analyze the person's genes for particular defects that cause metabolic disease, but these tests often aren't necessary for diagnosis or for determining treatment.
What is the prognosis?
If the enzyme is completely lost there is rapid progression of the condition leading to death in infancy. If some enzyme activity remains, little or no progression with normal strength between episodes.
