Yesterday, a US official told NBC News that Syria has begun to mix the chemical components of sarin gas, and has loaded the deadly nerve agent into bombs on or near airfields.
The gas was developed in Germany in 1938 by two scientists who were trying to create a stronger pesticide. When its potential for chemical warfare was realized during WWII, Germany started mass-producing the gas, but ultimately decided not to use sarin against the Allied targets.
In the early 1950s, NATO recognized sarin as a standard chemical weapon and both the USSR and the United States began producing the gas for military purposes. It was never used, and production of the gas ceased in the US by 1956.
According to the CDC, sarin is odorless, so most victims have no idea that they were exposed to the gas. Within a minute of exposure, people experience runny nose, tightness in the chest, and pupil constriction. After several minutes, they began having difficulty breathing, become nauseated, and start to drool. Soon they lose control of their bodily functions, begin twitching and ultimately suffocate in a series of convulsive spasms.
The first known incidence of sarin being used as part of chemical warfare occurred in 1988 in the Kurdish city of Haljaba, in northern Iraq. Close to 5,000 people died over the course of two days after 20 aircraft dropped chemicals on the town. According to the BBC, Saddam Hussein's forces may have used mustard gas and cyanide along with the nerve agents sarin, tabun, and VX.
Sarin was also used in two terrorist attacks by Aum Shinrikyo in Japan in 1994 and 1995. The first attack, occurred in the city of Matsumoto on the evening of June 27 and the morning of June 28, 1994. Eight people were killed and over 200 were harmed by an impure version of the gas, which was released from several sites in the Kaichi Heights area of the city.
Nine months later, Aum Shinrikyo carried out a similar attack on the Tokyo subway system. Thirteen people died and fifty others were injured in the attack. After the attack, Aum Shinrikyo lost its status as a religious organization in Japan, and many of its assets were seized.
Sarin gas was also alleged to have been used in 2004 during the Iraq war, and was used as evidence of the banned weapons of mass destruction the US government claimed Iraq possessed.

A veterinary assistant is responsible for helping a veterinarian run the office. As a vet assistant, your daily responsibilities include a variety of tasks, including weighing animals, pulling charts and setting appointments. Unlike a veterinary technician, an assistant does not need a college degree. Becoming a certified veterinary assistant, or CVA, gives you recognition in the industry as an expert assistant and made to higher pay and shorter job hunts.
Enroll in a veterinary science training program or certified veterinary assistant program recognized by your state's veterinary medical association. Programs vary in length but are typically offered at colleges and universities.
Get verifiable hands-on experience working with animals. Gain experience at a local animal shelter, pet store or pet daycare center. If you are unable to get paid work, offer to volunteer. The amount of experience you need varies by state. For instance, California requires 600 hours of hands-on training. Texas requires 90 days of hands-on training.
Submit an application to take the CVA exam. This application is available through your state's veterinary medical association. In some cases, the application is accessible through the agency's website. The application fee varies by state.
Take and pass the CVA exam. The exam covers material such as medical terminology, animal restraint, veterinary dentistry, nursing skills, lab andoffice procedures, and surgical preparation. Upon passing, you are officially recognized as a certified veterinary assistant.
- Follow your state's requirements for renewing your certification at the appropriate intervals.

Your Guide To Preparing For Birth
Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and life changing experiences for a family. Venturing into new parenthood and preparing to meet your baby for the first time is a wonderful and magical time. So that you are able to make some important choices about your birth we have put together some information for you to consider.
Where Should I Give Birth?
There are several options available to pregnant women and choosing the right one for you can sometimes feel daunting. It is important to remember that your birth experience is unique to you. Having choices available and making the right ones for you is an individual decision that only you can make.
Luisa Sweeney, Matron for Maternity at The Lindo Wing, who has more than 25 years experience as a midwife, says: "Choosing the place that you want to give birth is one of the most important decisions of your life. It is so important that you feel safe, confident and relaxed both before during and after the birth of your baby. The key to making the right choice is to take time to research where you want to want to give birth. You should schedule birthing unit visits and solicit opinions online and from friends with experience."
The Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital is world renowned for its maternity services and exceptional levels of care.
What Type Of Care Should I Choose?
Obstetric Led Care
Obstetricians are experts in all aspects of pregnancy care. If you're experiencing complications with your pregnancy or have a complex medical history it is good to know you are in the safest hands throughout pregnancy and birth. Private obstetric led care gives you constant reassurance and easy accessibility to a highly skilled expert of your choice.
Midwife Led care
Midwives are experts in all aspects of normal pregnancy and childbirth. They are trained to recognise any potential complications of pregnancy and are able to access obstetric care seamlessly. Women that choose midwife led care often seek a more natural birth with minimal intervention.
Shared Care
Many women will choose a combination of both obstetric and Midwife led care known as shared care. This means that both the Obstetrician and the Midwife will work together to provide the care that you need.
It is important to remember that the type of care you choose, be it obstetric or midwife led can change as your pregnancy progresses. You can move back and forth throughout pregnancy and birth depending on the care required.
How Should I Give Birth To My Baby?
Most women will choose to have a normal birth with as little intervention as possible. This is by far the safest mode of delivery for both mother and baby. However, for some women a normal birth may not be an option – due to medical reasons or personal choice – and they may wish to consider a caesarean section.
Whether you choose to have a normal birth or a caesarean birth, it is important to remember that you are able to dictate your birth environment be it an operating theatre, a purpose built suite or a simple side room. You can create your own ambiance with soft music and lighting, familiar faces and a relaxed approach to your delivery.
Private Pregnancy UK can help you find a private clinic or hospital for Maternity Care and/or Childbirth.
Looking After Yourself During The Last Stages of Pregnancy
Luisa advises that rest and relaxation is important during the run up to birth. Some women don't have the luxury to take time out, but you should try to take moments and care for yourself.
There are many alternative therapies that can bring many benefits during pregnancy and there are professionals who specialise in therapies for mothers-to-be:
A series of physical and mental exercises that encourage a healthy body and mind.
Nutritionists and midwives can offer advice on how to optimise nutritional benefit for mother and baby throughout pregnancy and beyond.
A good osteopath can assist during pregnancy with the rapid bodily changes, and help you to adapt and prepare for birth.
Although not advised, it can help with many ailments experienced during pregnancy including heartburn, morning sickness, backache and fatigue.
Used for over 2,500 years to promote and maintain good health, acupuncture lasts around 30 minutes and helps release endorphins to rebalance and fine-tune bodily functions.
Thinking About Birth Positions
You never know how your body will respond until labour starts and it is important to let your body be your guide. "During the second stage of labour alternative positions like squatting or being on all fours can help open the birth canal," explains Luisa Sweeny.
Massaging The Perineum
Massaging the perineum is recommended by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in preparation for birth and has been shown to reduce the need for episiotomy and stitches.
What Kind Of Pain Relief Is There?
A lot of women would like their birth experience to be as natural as possible, but it's hard to know how labour will go. Luisa Sweeny explains: "Even though you've planned ahead, when you're in the moment and facing the unexpected, it can be hard to know what to do. But there are steps you can take to regain control of the situation and to support your partner.
"Your priority is to understand what is happening and what your options are. This can make a big difference to how you and your partner feel after your baby is born too. Whatever kind of birth you're planning, you should familiarise yourself with what pain-relief options are available in case you need them."
The calming effect of warm water is in itself an effective method of pain relief. The hormones that help you cope with the pain of labour (endorphins) may increase when you're in a birth pool.
Tens Machine
Although not recommended by NICE, TENS is a drug-free kind of pain relief often used by women in early labour. A TENS machine sends small, safe pulses of electrical current via leads to pads on your skin. The pulses pass through your skin and into your muscles and tissues, giving you a gentle tingling or buzzing sensation.
Complementary Therapies
Acupuncture, reflexology, massage, self-hypnosis can all help focus the mind and centre your thoughts throughout birth, reducing stress and giving comfort.
Entonox (Gas and Air)
Entonox (gas and air) is a colourless, odourless gas made up of oxygen and nitrous oxide – also known as laughing gas. It can take the edge off labour pain, rather than blocking it out.
Pain Relieving Drugs
It is advisable to discuss pain relieving drugs with your midwife or obstetrician. Pethidine is an opioid drug that will help you to relax and reduce your pain.
An epidural is a regional anaesthetic, meaning that not all of your body is affected. Painkilling drugs are passed into the small of your back through a fine tube to the nerves that carry pain signals from your womb (uterus) and cervix to your brain during labour. An epidural numbs your belly, allowing you to retain some sensation in your feet and legs, and usually gives very effective pain relief.
Whilst the nature of childbirth in itself is unpredictable, it's always advisable to research your options. There's no doubt that preparing yourself for birth, mentally and physically, will make giving birth less stressful and allow you to enjoy the experience of having your baby.

The Fuel Poverty Problem
Ian Napier, CCO, Switchee
For asset managers, identifying and preventing fuel poverty is an increasing priority, as the financial and health implications can be serious and costly. Although new-build social housing is now built to meet EPC standards, old housing stock is more likely to suffer from thermal inefficiencies – a pertinent issue during winter, when heating bills are highest.
What's more, features in smart devices, such as low temperature alerts, allow asset managers to spot households in fuel poverty or at risk to it. Prior to this data becoming available, these households may have gone unnoticed.
With figures suggesting that so many lives are at risk, as well as the billions at stake for the strained NHS, fuel poverty is a problem that needs to be addressed in a concerted, collaborative way by housing providers, tenants and government.

Home Insight Insight
The TOP 50 Employers for Women list provides a useful framework and guide for women seeking to research and compare company performance when it comes to supporting women's careers. And while TOP 50 entrants have varied annually since its inception back in 2006, one constant has been the high level of interest in the list from female candidates and industry.
The reason we founded the UK's TOP 50 list way back in 2006 was to provide an insightful source of reference for female candidates - whether interns, graduates, experienced professionals, women returners or senior executives. Operating as the world's first company comparison website for female candidates, we identified the need for a robust, reliable and reputable source of information to guide and inform women's career choices. The list was the first of its kind in the UK and has grown from strength to strength for well over a decade. Each year, we conducted robust assessment of the practices of private and public sector organisations to identify and celebrate best practice for recruiting and advancing women.
Back in 2006 the social media landscape was minimal, and there were few female-focused career websites and communities like Where Women Work. Fast forward many years, and today the female recruitment marketing arena is very different. Furthermore, many exciting top employer lists now exist worldwide and there continues to be a constant focus on progressive employers.
Today, 158 different organisations have been celebrated for their support for women in the workplace via the TOP 50 list. Right from the start, we always ran the list alphabetically, rather than as a ranked order list, because different organisations appeal to women for varied reasons. How could we possibly claim that one organisation is best for all women? The list still continues today to be a non-ranked, alphabetical employers list.
The Times TOP 50 Employers for Women list features top employers in the UK who actively work to recruit, retain, develop and progress female talent in exciting and innovative ways. When we first chose and approached The Times back to pitch our TOP 50 idea as we looked to invite them as sole media partner, The Times held strong resistance and scepticism to such a "female-only" orientated list. But as the years passed and clear interest grew in our TOP 50 initiative from employers, as did the significant advertising revenue we generated and secured each year for The Times, the TOP 50 list grew not just to be an excellent source of reference, but a prestigious annual award honouring and recognising progressive employers. Each year, we invited entries from across industry - and successful case studies were published in an annual TOP 50 supplement in collaboration with The Times newspaper. We also held an annual event to honour TOP 50 list entrants and to share best practice.
The TOP 50 list serves as a great reference point for female candidates - and we're proud to work with many of these leading companies year-after-year via our work on female-focused employer campaigns. Our women's equality marketing company was founded back in 2000. We're a team of dedicated professionals around the world committed to helping drive women's equality. We work with corporations, governments and agencies across the world via our core services of female-focused employer marketing and campaigns. Learn more about us here.
Disclosure: Where Women Work researches and publishes insightful evidence about how its paid member organizations support women's equality.

Rule #1:
Don't talk about fight club. Know thyself.
Rule #2: Know thy travel partner.
Rule #3: Do not expect to change.
Every travel blogger has their own take on questions like "Should you book everything in advance?" "Where should you splurge and save on travel?" "Is XYZ 'worth' it?"
Here's the secret: There isn't one right answer to how to have an amazing, positive experience while traveling. The real key to enjoying yourself is to know yourself, know the person (or people) you're traveling with, and be at peace with the reality of who you both are.
What's right for everyone else, might not be right for you: An example
I have always been a "book in advance" person, but this is a pretty unpopular preference in the long-term travel world. Many contend that keeping your plans open can save you money and leave you free to change your schedule at the last minute. "You can decide to stay longer in one place! Leave early if you don't like a particular city! Travel with a group of new friends!" Here's the thing: In 9 months of travel none of those things ever once happened, so I finally decided to banish this fantasy of trying to be a different person than I am.
For me, booking travel in advance prolongs the joy of the trip itself (I get to fantasize about the trip and then I get to take it! Win-win!), eases any worries I may have about missing out on things I want to do, and helps me feel safe and secure in a foreign country. For example, we decided to make Vietnam our first experiment with traveling without booking/planning in advance. This didn't work for us! We wasted precious time trying to choose tours or activities while we were in the country, paid extra for open-date bus tickets, aimlessly wandered the streets of at least a couple towns trying to find a room (sweating and bickering the entire time, of course), and still managed to screw up our timing and not get to spend any real time in Hanoi.
Whether to book in advance or not is only one of a million ways that your personal travel style will impact how you should plan and execute your travel.
What to consider when planning your trip
- What are you trying to get out of your travels? If all you want is to unplug and relax, you officially have my permission to book an all-inclusive resort and go sit your buns in the sand.
- Are you a worrier? OK then, take the time to research safe bus companies in advance, and maybe accept that you'll never enjoy driving scooters through the hills of Thailand or Vietnam.
- When do you enjoy being awake? While not actually morning people, both Alex and I really like the feeling of getting up early and having the whole day free for activities. We often take very early flights for this reason. But this won't work for everyone — do not put yourself through missing flights if you know you won't wake up!
- Do you like meeting and talking to strangers? This is a big, fat "no" for us, so we scrapped the fantasy of meeting up with a cool group of travelers who we were going to spontaneously decide to travel with.
- Do you enjoy planning travel? I love it. It's like a drug for me. Why would I choose to forego the joy of planning a trip in advance? (Just to be clear, I don't obsess over an hourly schedule — more like the number of nights to spend in a place and how to get from A to B.)
- Does unplanned time make you feel free and liberated or just anxious? For me, it's the latter.
- What are your personal interests or favorite activities? Food, art, architecture, history, politics, shopping, hanging out with friends, reading, volunteering — these are all great subjects/activities you can focus your travels around. If you don't like museums, you won't suddenly like museums in another country. We didn't like crowded bars or clubs in NYC, so why would we love the backpacker party scene in Amsterdam?
- Are you a loner? Do you like making new friends? I don't think anyone should feel like there's something "better" about being a solo traveler, traveling as a couple, or making friends on the road. Everyone enjoys different social dynamics.
- What kinds of splurges feel "worth it" to you at home? If you get in bed every night and thank the sweet Lord above for your 1000 thread count sheets, hosteling might not be for you. If you love indulging in craft cocktails/fine dining/music festivals/you name it, those are probably the same things that are going to feel "worth it" to you abroad, too. Invest in those experiences.
- Is money actually an issue for you? There is no glory in traveling as cheaply as possible. If you have the money, why not spend it? (See also: You're Never Going to Travel Like a Local)
And here's the real kicker about all of these considerations: You have to take your travel companion(s) into account, too. For the many months we were planning our trip, I tried repeatedly to get Alex excited about itinerary planning. But seriously, it's just not his thing. It wasn't that he wasn't excited for the trip or he didn't care. He just doesn't get a sick joy out of cruising Kayak or AirBnB like I do.
Similarly, while I know Alex and I can and will get ourselves up early as often as we need to, when traveling with friends in Croatia this summer, I had to accept that while we could rouse ourselves once or twice for an early morning in extreme need, I should mostly count on sleeping in and taking a good hour or two to get up and out in the morning. Trying to mold the person you're traveling with into a different person is a recipe for enormous frustration for all involved.
Whatever your natural proclivities — whether you're a planner/bargain hunter/early riser/culture lover like me or the exact opposite — you have to know and accept that you're not going to suddenly change when outside your normal environment. (If anything, your natural tendencies are likely to become more pronounced.)
If you're not sure what kind of traveler you (or your bestie you're about to spend 3 months on the road with) are, test the waters. Try a weekend jaunt unplanned. Go camping and see how you do. Try to make friends with strangers. Be honest with yourself about whether you enjoyed it. Often I've found myself browsing the web for articles validating the kind of travel I felt was right for me. If that's you right now, this is it: I officially give you permission to travel your way, whether your way is like mine or not.

Hello Everyone,
This is a beautiful church with great photo opportunities both inside and outside. They have a pretty fountain outside the church and a bunch of horse carriages (if you're in the mood for that venetian ride around town). Also, they have tours for the church every hour both in French and English. I would recommend going with the tour if you are interested in learning more about it.
2) Pointe-a-Callibre Museum
Great archeological museum, you can read about the history of Montreal here. The entire museum is built on top of remains from the old city. There are some great cafe's on the street outside this museum if you get hungry.

Group Rides
The majority of our rides originate in Uxbridge on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We travel in all directions on routes that vary in distance from 20km to 100km. A few times a year we will have a 'close-destination ride' that will begin @30minute drive away. This allows us to explore new territory not within normal reach given time and distance constraints.
Departure times are either 8 or 9am (see below).
Sunday Group Ride
- Riders divide into groups of A/B/C depending on goals and capability
- A+B Groups are provided the same route. Distances begin at @60km and increase to 100km.
- The B-Group is a no-drop ride and a designated ride captain will ride the whole route. As the C group rides are shorter and close to town, no sweeper is provided for that route.
- C Group distances begin at @20km and increases to 40km
- Multiple turn-back points are available on all routes
Saturday Furious UCC Interval Training Ride (FUCCIT)
- No-drop, distance @50km
- Interval training option to compliment Sunday ride
- Riders of all abilities welcome
- Riders collect after each interval and ride slowly to the next hot-spot/interval
- Monthly time-trial option
Saturday Learn-to-Ride/Casual Ride
- No-drop, casual group riding (20-50km)

- For those interested, group riding skills will be taught in the ride itself
- Additional clinics on maintenance, flat repair etc depending on interest
For all club rides, the routes will be sent via email weekly. Please ensure you have subscribed to the 'Weekly Ride Info' with your email at the bottom of this page.


text: The shape was inspired by the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, London which is my local park. That traditional Japanese garden area is very different from other parts of Holland Park. A big pond is surrounded by well-trimmed trees, stones and lawns, but somehow the garden is harmonised with the Victorian park and is a very popular area. It is always wonderful to see people of different backgrounds, all with a different sense of beauty, enjoying and sharing the same space.

Out of Brooklyn, NY, Sunshine is a band of two for this recording: Amy Santos (vocals and bass) and Steven Ferrara (vocals, guitars, lap steel, piano, organ, harp, banjo, mandolin, sax). The liner notes list additional different musicians for some tracks: Drums (Joe McLean, Katie Fuller, Pitti); slide, acoustic, electric guitar (Mike Lambert); trumpet (Crawford Forbes); tambourine (Joe McLean); congas, harmonica (Aaron Jaekel); and piano (Mike Lambert). What the liner notes didnt include is credits - original tunes or covers although there appear to be several covers.
Warning, Lady K gets bitchy when her time is wasted, so her first comment is that Sunshine is not a blues band. They manage to get a bit of the blues into a few tracks, but the rest of the CD is, I dunno, a bit of light, new-age rock(?) and some jazz. Not Lady Ks cup of Bombay.
Long Sweet Helen has some nice swinging guitar, and is a bluesy rocker, with Ferrara on vocals. Even listening with headphones, the lyrics are mostly indecipherable, BUT the music is nice. A Thousand Love Songs is a light rock ditty, with Amy Santos as lead vocalist, and again lyrics are not clear in places, and mostly dont make sense; not memorable. The duet, Masterpiece of Mud is more of the same. I have absolutely no idea what this tune is about or what the title means.
Dry Eyed Tampa, is a slow tempo tune. Since no one else is listed in the credits for this track, I assume that Ferrara is playing guitar (in addition to singing). I like his guitar. The Things That Harm Me has a nice beat and is light rock not blues or jazz - up-tempo, and just painful to listen to; literally. It sounds like Sunshine are both singing again and theres some very loud screaming and I dont know why, because again the lyrics are unclear (and made Lady K want to scream).
Lady Ks day-job telephone system has hold music that she has labeled dorky cartoon music and Finger String and Everybodys Crazy Bout the Doggone Blues But Im Happy fit in that category They are both light-hearted happy cartoon music. Theres WHISTLING and Santos singing on Finger String. On Everybodys Crazy, there is no whistling, and really no musicality, just an acoustic guitar mimicking Santos lyrics Rise Above has slow, bluesy and sexy guitar from Mike Lambert with a bit of Jaekels harp in the background. Again, the Ferraras vocals (maybe Somebody please give me the strength to wake up today I think if hes singing it, hes awake) just detract from the music it could have been a good instrumental. Until We Both Close Down is more jazz than anything, so maybe the brass is meant to sound out of tune. There is confusing noise in the background either static or perhaps its meant to sound like rain, maybe? Lamberts slide helps and its a very short track, which is a good thing. Another blessedly short tune (about 90-seconds) is Your Next Big Thing.
Lady K hates this CD sorry.

Scale, Taste and Odor Removal. The process used for removal of all dissolved salts from water is referred to as deionization or demineralization. Deionization requires the flow of water through two ion exchange materials to affect the removal of all salt content. The use of an indicator dye, bound to the resin, that changes colour is specifically intended for use in clear housing. Such systems are designed without meters and rely on the changing colour of the mixed bed resins to indicate exhaustions and replacements of filters.

Growing up between New York and Philadelphia means that my definition of city transportation usually involves underground tunnels, urine streaked floors or a bus pass.
Not in Portland, though.
In Portland, if you want to commute to the other side of the city, you just casually take the Aerial Tram at the intersection of SW Moody & Gibbs to Oregon Health & Science University's campus. Here's how it all went down.
On our last day in Portland, my fiance John and I stared at the hoards of brochures we grabbed from our hotel's waiting area trying to figure out how we should spend our last few hours in what we officially dub, the greatest city in the world. If you've never visited Portland before, a lot of local businesses are closed on Mondays so that eliminated our interest in visiting the Portland Art Museum, the feminist bookstore and community center, In Other Words and a few other ideas we had of just walking around, coffee in hand, taking peeks into local shops. One thing that peaked my interest was the Aerial Tram which just so happened to be available until 9:30pm.
After spending the day on the breathtakingly beautiful Oregon Coast, admiring the Pacific Ocean while not caring that I was potentially ruining my brand new suede ankle boots, we drove back to town eager to ride the tram.
First off, it's weird. The closest I'd ever been to a tram had been in Walt Disney World, but even that was nothing compared to driving down 84 and in the rear view mirror watching as this tiny gondola just glides hundreds of feet in the air across the city. The last time my fiance and I had been remotely close to being that high off the ground was on a trip to Disney Springs in 2015 when we rode the Aerophile which only gives you a bird's eye view of Epcot and downtown Orlando from 400-feet high. The Portland Aerial Tram glides 500 feet high for the 3,300 feet stretch to the other part of the city.
Riding the Aerial Tram is just like grabbing the train in New York. You go up to a kiosk, buy a ticket and stand there waiting for the next tram car to arrive. When we first entered, John and I definitely looked like tourists. You can tell from the shiny, purple lipstick.
We immediately grabbed a seat and held onto the handrail – another rookie, tourist move. Most people on the tram stand eerily close to the edge of the car, up against the windows looking breathlessly down onto a lighted Portland. The regulars stand, looking down at their phones but for us, we looked out the windows, soaking in how the city twinkles. Once you're up in the air, you aren't thinking about how high up you are; you're thinking about how magical the entire experience is. Our first ride was on an incline to get to OHSU. Once we got off our tram, we turned right back around to stand in line and take it right on back. You pay for a round trip ticket which is awesome.
Heading back down to downtown Portland is when the experience gets exciting. As you decline you get a bird's eye view of the city. We rode at night, around 8:00pm when the city is in full sparkle mode. We couldn't stop beaming the entire 4-minute journey back down to reality.
It's an experience unlike one I've ever embarked on. Leave it to Portland to commute enthusiastic tourists like me across the city on a wire.
When I undoubtedly move there, I hope it's a form of transportation I get to take every single day. I just hope that magic never wears off.

1. How do I make display parallel versions automatically open each time I startup BW 6?
2. How do I save the customizations I've made for parallel versions? For example, I "edit favorites" creating ESV and WTT for parallel version favorites. Then I manually toggle the switch to multiple version mode for both the ESV and WTT windows. Then I manually remove the WTT version that for some reason appears in the ESV window. How do I save these customizations so that each time I start BW6 and go to this favorite parallel version, I don't have to manually make these adjustments each time?

Height: 5'5″
Hometown: Amherstburg, ON
Amber Bernachi is a confident, independent woman who believes anything is possible with a strong vision and positive approach. She is a goal setter and achiever who won't let anything prevent her from attaining her dreams. She has a passion for traveling, volunteering, reading and fitness. She was raised in the small, riverside town of Amherstburg, Ontario. Her passion for living life to the fullest drives her to step outside of her comfort zone as often as possible. She loves to inspire others to do the same and believes that there are no limits to life, except for the ones we create ourselves. A positive attitude and determination is Amber's strategy for success.
She recently graduated with a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Windsor, completing her last semester as an exchange student in Rouen, France. She has also earned three other degrees; Honours Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts: Political Science and Bachelor of Education, from the University of Windsor. Academics have always been an important priority in her life.
Amber likes to balance hard work with exciting and rewarding experiences. Amber enjoys traveling around the world and experiencing new cultures, landscapes and meeting different people. The most impactful experience of her life was when she had the opportunity to travel through Thailand as a volunteer, working in an orphanage, a day care center and within the underdeveloped communities. The children made a huge impact on Amber's life and will forever hold a spot in her heart. She hopes to one day return to Thailand and to also travel to other areas of the world that are in need. She has visited over 30 countries and is always looking forward to her next opportunity to travel. She believes that life is enriched by the people you meet and the experiences you create with them.
Volunteering has always played an important role in Amber's life, whether it is coaching minor soccer, dance, figure skating or traveling halfway across the world to work with children. She enjoys fundraising and has organized many events within her community. She has also volunteered at a number of events held by Transition to Betterness, a local charitable foundation, which provides comfort to those in hospice care. In 2014, Amber co-founded the charitable organization, Karma Crew, which has hosted events to raise money for the purchase of a 3-D mammography machine for a local community hospital. Amber is a confident, positive role model who hopes to inspire others to be fearless in pursuing their own passions. She believes that life is truly what you make of it and there are no limits.
The most important lesson Amber has learned is that the secret to happiness is found in the acceptance of self. Life is about finding yourself and your passion, it is about being happy in your own skin and accepting yourself for who you are; mind, body and soul. Her motto is, if you don't like something about your life, change it. Everyday is a new chance to start over and become the person you want to be.

Languages spoken fluently (please include your native language if English is not your native language).
What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I have many interests and I believe it is important to continuously try new things because you never know when you may fall in love with an activity or find a new passion. I find that this approach to life opens the door to so many new and exciting opportunities. I have bungee jumped in Quebec, gone ice skating at the Eiffel Tower and hiked a mountain in Stavanger, Norway to name a few things. One of my passions is to travel the world. Thailand, France and Italy have been a few of my favourites places to experience. I love the culture, the history, the food and especially the people in these countries. Some of my other interests include playing sports and staying active. I enjoy volleyball, snowboarding, kickboxing and I love working out and keeping fit. What I enjoy doing the most is event planning. Pursuing this interest has allowed me to plan successful fundraising events to support and give back to my local community. I also love to read and I dream of having my own personal library one day, filled with a variety of books. Another passion of mine is trying new culinary dishes from around the world. I enjoy learning more about different cultures and a great way of doing this is through culinary experiences. I am not afraid to try new cultural foods, which has led me to even try things like deep fried crickets in Thailand! I also enjoy spending time with my family, whether we are traveling together or watching our favourite stand up comedy shows at home, family time is important to me. I find I am happiest when I am involved in as many things as possible. I am highly motivated to live life to the fullest and to share great experiences with others.
List any special training you have had (music, art, drama, dance, etc.).
- Classical and contemporary piano
- Competitive Level Dance (Modern, Hip-hop and Ballet)
- Modelling
- Public Speaking
- Boxing
- Cheerleading
- Certified Cosmetician
In what sports, if any, have you participated?
I began playing on competitive sports teams when I was four years old and since then I have continued to participate in a variety of sports. Some I have played include baseball, soccer, volleyball, dance team, track and field, figure skating, swimming, boxing, horseback riding, snowboarding, skiing, cheerleading, gymnastics and tennis. I think because my parents introduced me to sports at such a young age I became comfortable with competition and working together on teams. I believe participating in sports is a great way to stay in shape while also teaching many life skills like cooperation and supporting others. Through sports, I have developed great friendships with people who enjoy and share the same passions.
Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My younger sister Jaylyn. Typically younger siblings tend to look up to and admire their older sister or brother, however, I am fortunate to be able to say that I have a younger sister who has also taught me so much in return. There are many valuable life lessons that I have learned from being the older sister. The position comes with certain responsibilities, ones that we are not always aware of, but instead we learn over time. Being an older sister means that I am a daily role model to my younger sister and because of this I must continuously set a positive example. She was my sidekick growing up and so many of the wonderful memories I have of my childhood are because of her. She has taught me how to gain trust, how to be a leader and role model, how to love unconditionally and of course how to share. Most importantly my sister has taught me what is really important in life; meaningful relationships and memories we make with family. My sister may be young but she has an old soul, she has a kind demeanour and a strong passion for what she believes in. She has become the person I go to when I need advice and she amazes me with her valuable insight. I am so lucky to have her in my life and it has been exciting to see her grow up into the beautiful, intelligent, kind woman she is today. I am so proud of her for finding her passion in life and pursuing her dreams through yoga. She has not only been a truly amazing sister to me but also my best friend.
What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than participating in this pageant)?
Education has always been an important aspect of my life. I have always made my education a priority and because of this I was able to complete four degrees within seven years. My proudest personal accomplishment was the completion of my final degree; Masters of Business Administration. I was able to complete my final semester abroad in Rouen, France. Being an international student has allowed me to gain experience from working with different people from all over the world. A valuable lesson I learned is that culture has a major affect on business interactions and different approach should be respected and valued. While attending the University of Windsor, I participated in many activities which allowed me to be a successful, well-rounded student. I was elected and hired on three student councils; UWSA, Commerce Society and MBA Society. I also participated in a variety of sports which included soccer, cheerleading and volleyball. My time spent at the University of Windsor also allowed me to develop my personal skills in the areas of time management, leadership, communication, multi-tasking, and self discipline. I also made many positive connections with other ambitious students as well as with my professors. I believe it is important to be educated and well versed in current affairs. Education has presented me with new opportunities and has helped shape me to become the best version of myself.
What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
Recently while completing my MBA degree in France, I was put into a position where I had to really move out of my comfort zone. I was living as a student in the city of Rouen, France and I had just booked a trip to visit my grandmother's hometown in Abbateggio, Italy. On Friday, November 13th, the terrorist attacks took place in Paris, France. I was supposed to travel a few days later, by myself, through the Paris airport and onto the airport in Rome, Italy. My first instinct was to cancel the trip because I was scared and it seemed too dangerous. The rumours had started that there would be more attacks, including in cities like Rome. I was torn between intense fear and being able to manifest my dream of visiting my grandmother's childhood home. After much thought I realized that I did not want to give in to a world driven by fear. I am a proud Canadian and I live in a free and peaceful nation. At that time I vowed to live my life based on my Canadian values and upbringing no matter where I find myself in this world. I did not want to give into the fears that these terrorists want us to succumb to. It took all the courage I had to leave my apartment and travel by trains, planes and buses through these cities to find my way to the small town where my grandmother grew up. It was empowering for me to make that trip and it showed me the internal strength that I possess. I learned that we must take a stand in our own lives and continue to pursue our dreams even though we never really know what might happen. We need to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate each day we are given.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
Now that I have completed my education, my ambition is to make use of my four degrees and take advantage of all opportunities that come my way. They say that luck happens when opportunity is met with preparation, so I am anxious to move on to the next stage of my life. Ultimately, I would like to combine my MBA and Political Science degree to build a career where I can continue to learn and accomplish great things. More specifically I'd like to pursue a career in either marketing or politics. Who knows, maybe even become the second female Prime Minister!
What would be your "dream job" in life?
I want to be a woman in a powerful leadership role for a well-respected company. I would like to combine my interest in travelling along with my passion for event planning and fundraising. I want to make an impact not only within my community but nationally, as well. I hope to be in a position where I can continue to improve myself and also improve the lives of others. A dream job would be one, which allows me to have the proper work-life balance and encourages me to continue to set and achieve my goals. At this moment my dream job would be to become Miss Universe Canada 2016. This would allow me to achieve these goals and it would be a privilege to have this strong humanitarian platform.
Are you currently a student?
No, I recently completed the MBA program offered at the University of Windsor and will be graduating this June. However, law school has always been an aspiration of mine!
Are you currently employed?
If yes, what is your occupation?
I am a supervisor and server at Moxie's Classic Grill.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in the beautiful town of Amherstburg, Ontario. My childhood was amazing and I have a lot of positive memories that I hold close to my heart. When I think of some of my childhood memories I remember all the roleplaying I did. From starting my own news program in my living room called "News Now" to running my own classroom in our basement with my sister and her friend as my students. I was constantly thinking of new business ideas like selling golf balls from my backyard, which faces a golf course, or setting up my room as a store for my sister to come to shop at. My entrepreneurial spirit is why I chose to pursue business academically and as a career. I was fortunate enough to have two loving parents and an amazing younger sister. My childhood was always full of love, travelling, activities and positive influence. My parents have always made a point to travel together as a family at least once a year, which has sparked my own personal desire to travel. They have also encouraged me to be the ambitious, goal-seeking individual that I am. They enrolled me in as many sports and activities as possible but always placed an emphasis on education and being a responsible, giving member of the community.
List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.
- 2016 North American International Auto Show model
- Event coordinator and organizer for Karma Crew, non-profit organization
- Graduate Assistant, School of Business, University of Windsor
- Selling paint door to door at the age of fifteen
List any volunteering you have done.
Volunteering began at a young age for me. When I was eleven years old my best friend and I held a fundraiser at my school to raise money for a young boy in our community who needed an operation to remove a brain tumour. Realizing the impact I had made on the family was a life changing moment for me. That feeling has inspired me to continue to participate in as many charity fundraisers as possible ever since.
- Volunteering Solutions 2012- Travelled to Thailand for a month to work in orphanages, daycare centers and in underprivileged communities
- Heart and Stroke Foundation campaigning
- Heart Breaker Challenge – 2013 for Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital
- NOH8 Against Bullying Campaign photo shoot
- Coaching soccer ages 3-5 for AMSA in Amherstburg 2007-2012
- Coaching Dance team –returned to coach at my grade school-Stella Maris
- Coaching figure skating at AMSA in Amherstburg
- Competed in the Dragon Boats competition to support the cure for breast cancer 2012-2015.
- Various 'Transition to Betterness' events: Lit-up event, Boxing match event, Annual gala hostess, golf tournaments
- Hats on for Healthcare- Windsor Regional Hospital
- Community Planting Weekend- "Forests Ontario"
- SOS Children's Villages
- Operation Smile
I also co-founded a non-profit charitable organization in 2014, called Karma Crew, with a group of close friends who share the same passion for giving back. We plan events that raise money for various, worthy causes within our community. Our first fundraising efforts raised funds for Windsor Regional Hospital's Breast Cancer Unit, to help purchase a 3D mammogram machine. With our last two successful events we were able to raise a total of $3550.
What is your most unusual talent?
I'm a trained boxer. I participated in a local charity-boxing match both years that the event has been held. Although I enjoy competitive sports, boxing someone in a ring was not an activity I had envisioned for myself. It was the most intense five minutes of my life, but I am happy I competed and it was for a good cause. Last year I won the match and now my dad is proud to say that his daughter is a boxing champion!
Where is the most interesting place you have been to?
The most interesting place that I have been to is Abbateggio, Italy. It's a small town surrounded by mountains in the eastern part of the country. Most people have never heard of this small town but for me it was a place I have wanted to visit since I was a little girl. Abbateggio is where my grandparents are from and where my grandmother's childhood home still stands surrounded by fields and mountains. I had heard so much about it through the stories my grandmother would tell me of what it was like growing up with her six sisters and two brothers. She loved where she came from and because of her love for the town I also fell in love with it. She immigrated to Canada as a young wife and mother and was the only one in her family that never had the chance to go back and visit before she passed away nine years ago. So when I had the opportunity recently to visit, while attending university in France, I made it a priority to travel there. I not only got to see a beautiful part of Italy but I was also able to reconnect with my grandmother in a very beautiful and touching way.
What do you hope to be doing in ten years?
In ten years I hope to be married with children and established in a successful career that I love. In my personal life, I would like to have a good balance between family and career, while still pursuing the things I love to do, and always setting new goals for myself. I hope to still be travelling around the world and meeting new people. I hope to stay involved in fundraising events for charities within my community and globally. I am fortunate to live in a time where anything is possible and women can pursue their dreams. I hope to be an example of this and make an impact on young women's lives and encourage them to find their own passion.
Is there anything you would like to add that we haven't asked?
I believe Miss Universe Canada is a woman who embodies confidence, beauty, humanitarian work, great social and communication skills and has a passion for life and learning. I have always strived to excel in these areas in my own life. When I discovered pageantry at a young age while watching it on TV, I felt instantly drawn to the competition and becoming a titleholder has been a dream of mine ever since. I feel confident that I can take on this role and I know that I would represent our beautiful country proudly. I would use this title to continue to be an excellent role model and motivate young women and children to pursue their own dreams.

Honeychop Star Grace
Meet Grace! Honeychop Star for Scotland
Birthday: 7th of November
Favourite Honeychop Feed: Honeychop Calm & Shine
Biggest Achievement: My biggest achievement was qualifying for and riding at Blair Castle European Eventing Championships in 2014. My horse at the time, Skip, behaved remarkably well and we both had great fun while we were there, with only one pole falling during our round. I was delighted with the way it went for us and can see myself doing it all over again! Riding at Blair was such an amazing opportunity and to this day I am still in disbelief that I qualified and made it round!
The Best piece of advice Grace has been given: Don't give up!
Grace's Tip: Some things are worth waiting for. Don't rush, you can never spend enough time training, taking things slowly will definitely benefit you in the long run.
Grace is our Honeychop Star for Scotland.
Grace has got her brother to thank for her love of riding. When she was 8 years old her brother won a voucher for a 'paddock hack' at a charity auction and kindly gifted it to her. So off she went…and from then on it was a lesson every week! She continued to progress and branched out into riding privately owned horses and then at the age of 16 was able to take her first horse out on loan.
A few horses have come and gone over the years, all of which hold a special place in Grace's heart. Grace started her Honeychop journey with her loan horse, Skip a.k.a Touchstone Skipnish, a 16.1hh, dapple grey, Irish draught, gelding who was 10 years old. Grace then took on another loan horse, Tigger a.k.a Master Moonshaddow who is ANOTHER large, hunter type grey gelding! I sense a theme here Grace…. Tigger is 15 and spent the majority of his life on the hunting field and he went to live with Grace for a quieter life as a dressage and show horse. Sadly Tigger sustained an injury and was pts in August 2017. Grace found Gerry in November 2017 and they were just perfect for one another – Gerry is now continuing Grace's Honeychop journey with her and no, he's actually not grey!! Gerry is a striking 16.3hh chestnut with 4 white socks and a sassy and cheeky personality.
Grace Says:
"We compete locally at riding club level and are mainly out to just have some fun! I mainly compete side saddle, but have started to recently enjoy jumping again and plan to do some working hunter this year.
If you want to find out about what I've been getting up to, or what Gerry and I are currently working on, make sure you read my monthly blogs! I try my best to keep them entertaining!"

There are many reasons you might find yourself dealing with inflammation. Although it is a painful and uncomfortable condition, it is sometimes a necessary bodily response. Sometimes it even facilitates the healing process.
However, inflammation can also be the direct result of a disease or syndrome. The latter may include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or osteoarthritis. Anyone who has suffered from such a disorder has probably felt frustrated on more than one occasion. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Reducing Inflammation With Food
Consuming specific foods on a regular basis can significantly decrease inflammation. But it's also possible to eat food that makes conditions worse.
Nature Verses Chemical Substances
Various anti-inflammatory medications are available both by prescription and over-the-counter. However, many have negative side effects and adverse reactions. We take a more detailed look at many of the different approaches in our article on arthritis knee pain relief.
Because of the potential for side effects, many will be pleased to discover that nature could offer a remedy for inflammation that is not only side-effect free, but also tasty.
A Wealth of Benefits
Fortunately, the primary foods recommended by nutritionists to ease inflammation are also some of the healthiest. They are typically loaded with essential vitamins and minerals that everyone needs to enjoy good health.
Many foods on the anti-inflammatory list are also high in antioxidants. Most people are aware that the latter play a vital role in the prevention of cancer. The following are the top foods used in anti-inflammatory diets.
Putting Super Foods to Work
Most people have heard certain types of fresh produce referred to as "super foods." This is because such fare is high in specific nutrients that strengthen the immune system. However, vegetables and fruits also contain phytonutrients. These are plant-based substances that have been proven to help reduce inflammation.
According to expert nutritionists, those following an anti-inflammatory diet should consume a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. This ensures that the person will receive the entire range of benefits offered by these foods.
The top foods in this category include oranges, bananas, mangoes, mustard greens, cantaloupe, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, and all types of berries.
Not only do these foods help reduce inflammation, they are also rich in disease fighting antioxidants. It is best to consume these items in their fresh state. However, new research indicates that frozen vegetables and fruit retain more nutrients than was once believed to be the case.
The Many Benefits of Whole Grains
Most people know that whole grains are a healthy part of any diet. Fortunately, certain foods in this category also contain potent anti-inflammatory substances.
These foods include brown rice, barley, oats, bulgar, spelt and wild rice.
Numerous scientists believe that the high fiber content in whole grains also plays a vital role in reducing inflammation. Processed or bleached fare in this category should be avoided, however. This is because such foods offer few health benefits and may even make inflammation worse.
Great Benefits for Seafood Lovers
Seafood lovers will be very happy to know that many types of fish contain anti-inflammatory properties. This is particularly true regarding fatty fish such as sardines, salmon, mackerel and trout.
These oily fish contain omega-3 fats, which not only lessen inflammation, but also improve heart health. These essential fatty acids cannot be produced by the human body, but rather must be ingested.
For this reason, seafood lovers have everything to gain and nothing to lose by increasing their intake of these fish varieties.
A Word about Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. One can choose from a wide variety of options in this category.
These include walnuts, almonds, peanuts, flax seeds, pecans, and sunflower seeds.
Although all nuts and seeds have a certain amount of omega-3s, the six listed above have the highest amounts. Just one handful of nuts a day is all it takes to reap the benefits.
The Role of Spices
When following an anti-inflammatory diet, one should not forget to add spices. This is because substances found in some spice varieties are very helpful with regard to reducing inflammation.
Turmeric is an Asian spice commonly found in curry powder. It contains a potent substance called curcumin. Research indicates that curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects rival that of powerful drugs such as corticosteroids. However, they obviously do not come with the latter's side effects.
Ginger is another spice recognized for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Both spices can easily be found in your local grocery store or health food shop.
Chillies have have also long been used to reduce pain from inflammatory conditions, or rather the extract from them called capsaicin. This is the substance that gives chillies their heat.
These are just some of the ingredients often used in products to target arthritis and related symptoms. You can read more about some of these natural ingredients in our review of Provailen (an all natural supplement with some surprising success stories from arthritis sufferers).
Just One More Benefit of Green Tea
Famous around the world for its numerous health benefits, the flavanoids found in green tea are also able to ease inflammation.
Current research is being conducted to further investigate this benefit. It is recommended that those drinking green tea for this purpose consume a minimum of two cups per day.
The Flip Side
Just as the aforementioned foods can reduce inflammation, there are also foods that can make inflammatory conditions worse. These include the following categories:
Nightshade plants, such as bell peppers, eggplant and potatoes are frequently a part of the Western diet. Unfortunately, however, while they are not unhealthy, they can exacerbate inflammation. This is because those with inflammatory disorders often respond poorly to alkaloids, and these are found in higher amounts in such foods.
Shunning Sugar
It is also wise for those who wish to decrease inflammation in their bodies to avoid sugar. Sugary foods play a major role in inflaming joints and muscles. This is because it contains properties that activate arachidonic acid. This substance can confuse the immune system and cause it to turn on itself. When this happens, inflammation in the form of an allergic reaction occurs.
Although not all people have this reaction to sugar, anyone who consumes high amounts of sugar-rich foods is at risk for this side effect.
The Way Forward
By adding more anti-inflammatory foods to their diet, many people have successfully eliminated the need for medication to treat their symptoms. Because it can be easy to do and is relatively inexpensive, it is likely that more people will turn to more natural measures too, rather than prescription medications to ease inflammation.
However, you should of course always speak to a healthcare practitioner prior to changing your diet.

Highly Recommended: The Crash of 1929 at the Wolfsonian
Posted in Film & Video on June 23, 2009|
Just a quick note to bring to your attention to a documentary film we highly recommend. It's titled "The Crash of 1929" and gives an insight into that often-referenced stock market event that is far beyond what any of us are familiar with. The film brings us an hour-by-hour account of the event, and also portrays a vision of why the crash was so devastating to America back then. It also shows how the recent economic events in our lives are no where near what our grandparents lived through.
CINEMA 2 AT THE WOLF is an ongoing documentary film series presented in collaboration with WPBT-Channel 2. Thursday, June 25, 7pm at the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach. Free and is part of the PBS American Experience Series, written by Ronald H. Blumer.

Winterville Mounds
Winterville Mounds is closed until further notice based on information provided by the Mississippi Department of Health about the Coronavirus epidemic. LEARN MORE.
Winterville Mounds is a 42-acre site near Greenville, Mississippi, featuring twelve prehistoric Native American mounds, two large plazas, and a museum. The grounds of the site and the visitors center are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free. Call 662-334-4684 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Follow Winterville Mounds on Facebook
Winterville Mounds, named for a nearby community, is the site of a prehistoric ceremonial center built by a Native American civilization that thrived from about A.D. 1000 to 1450. The mounds, part of the Winterville society's religious system, were the site of sacred structures and ceremonies. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Winterville people lived away from the mound center on family farms in scattered settlement districts throughout the Yazoo-Mississippi River Delta basin. Only a few of the highest-ranking tribal officials lived at the mound center.
The Winterville ceremonial center originally contained at least 23 mounds. Some of the mounds located outside the park boundaries have been leveled by highway construction and farming. Twelve of the site's largest mounds, including the 55-foot-high Temple Mound, are currently the focus of a long-range preservation plan being developed by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the University of Mississippi's Center for Archaeological Research.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the Indians who used the Winterville Mounds may have had a civilization similar to that of the Natchez Indians, a Mississippi tribe documented by French explorers and settlers in the early 1700s. The Natchez Indians' society was divided into upper and lower ranks, with a person's social rank determined by heredity through the female line. The chief and other tribal officials inherited their positions as members of the royal family. The elaborate leadership network made mound building by a civilian labor force possible.
An explosion of mound construction activity between 1200 and 1350 AD suggests the Winterville chiefdom was a dominant power in the region then. Varieties of pottery indicate there was contact with far-distant chiefdoms.
The people who were responsible for these great earthworks were American Indians, but not Chickasaws, Choctaws, or other tribes we know today. Construction of the mounds at Winterville began about 1100 AD, a time when the population was organized in chiefdoms instead of tribes. Many of these chiefdoms were destroyed after the expedition of Hernando de Soto passed through in 1539–43, presumably by European diseases to which the native population had no immunity. The remnants of these groups banded together, creating the contemporary tribes.

Massive amounts of labor were needed to construct these mounds, plazas, and other earthworks. Since no beasts of burden existed in North America, all the work was done by hand. Dirt was dug and loaded into baskets, then carried to the site, dumped out, and stamped down. This process was repeated until the desired shape and height was reached. Each mound was enlarged several times after its initial construction using this method. It seems to have been common practice to burn any structure at its summit before enlarging a mound and then build another structure when new construction was completed.
At 55 feet, Mound A is among the ten tallest in the United States, roughly the same height as a five story building. Until modern construction techniques were developed, it was the highest point between Emerald Mound in Natchez and the great mounds at Cahokia, Illinois. From its top you can see the Mississippi River to the west. The river's course has shifted over the centuries but it was only a mile away when the mounds were constructed.
At about 30 feet, Mound B is the second-tallest mound at Winterville and sits at the southwest end of the mound group. It has also proven one of the richest sources for information over the last hundred years. Mound B probably was the site of a charnel house, a structure where bones of the dead were cleaned of flesh and stored in baskets. It may be that important leaders or other members of the Winterville elite were buried at their death, at which time the stored bones in the charnel house would be interred along with them.
Mound C is one of three (along with Mounds G and L) with an oval shape rather than the more commonly found round or quadrilateral shape. The mound's present shape is due to slumping and erosion. No burials have been encountered in excavations there. The discovery of an assortment of unusual artifacts and repeating destruction of the structures atop it point to its use as the residence of an elite family.
Mounds D and F are part of the western border of the site. Mound D was constructed on an earlier, pre-mound occupation deposit dating to the end of the Coles Creek period (1000–1200 AD). In 2007, University of Southern Mississippi excavations uncovered a trash-filled pit near Mound D containing layers of bone (squirrel, rabbit, waterfowl, and other birds) and broken pottery that date to about 1200 AD. The pit may have been excavated to provide materials to form Mound D, and the layers of trash may represent feasts associated with its construction.
A great fire during the late 1300s consumed the original building on the Temple Mound at Winterville, according to archaeological evidence. The cause of the fire remains a mystery. The site continued to be used afterwards, but no more mounds were built or maintained. Even though the site continued to be occupied after the fire, the general population declined at Winterville while increasing at settlements and mound sites 50 miles to the south, in the lower Yazoo River basin. By 1450 A.D. the Winterville Mounds site appears to have been abandoned completely.

Archaeological Investigations
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, relic collectors occasionally visited the site, although few artifacts were discovered. The National Park Service and Harvard University's Lower Mississippi Survey conducted the first modern archaeological studies at Winterville in the 1940s. Lower Mississippi Survey archaeologist Jeffrey P. Brain directed extensive excavations at Winterville in 1967. His final report, Winterville: Late Prehistoric Culture Contact in the Lower Mississippi Valley, was published in 1989 by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
Preservation of the Site
In 1939, the Greenville Garden Club led a community effort to purchase 42 acres of the Winterville Mounds site and to convey the property to the City of Greenville. Supported by the Winterville Mounds Association, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (formerly the Mississippi Park Commission) operated Winterville as a state park from 1960 until 2000, when the property was conveyed to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. In 1993, Winterville Mounds was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Thank you for asking. GNOME Software does not notify the user about dependencies that will be uninstalled. Packages and dependencies are details that are not exposed at all to users of GNOME Software. > If it is necessary to modify every package which a metapackage depends > on how is this work being tracked? Nothing is tracking this. I am making sure that the AppStream metadata is in place and set correctly for ubuntu-desktop only. The apps that are depends of ubuntu-desktop are gnome-control-center, nautilus, software-properties-gtk, update-manager, and yelp. Recommends are not a problem as they can be removed without removing the metapackage. (I have also removed the compulsory-for-GNOME tag from epiphany and totem.) This has been an issue since Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but it wasn't a big enough priority to anyone to fix until now. I wasn't planning on backporting this to 16.04 but it could be done by someone.

text: Since 1994, our key strategy has been both to serve Sponsors' emergent needs for ethical frameworks and guidance and to make cutting-edge contributions to the field of health care ethics. In Minnesota in the mid 1990s, health care professionals were expressing deep concern that they were failing in their relationships with Hmong patients and families. A MCHCE-led project produced the book, Healing by Heart: Clinical and Ethical Case Stories of Hmong Families and Western Providers. It consists of 15 case stories with commentaries by both Hmong and Western contributors, and includes a model for culturally responsive health care. In 2002, it was awarded the Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize for the best project in the area of medicine by Vanderbilt University Press.
