As you will surely find out if you happen to be ever diagnosed with cancer, it is the most horrible period of your daily life(excepting those moments if you lose your mother and father to heaven). I said all the stuff I wanted to about what I wouldn't do if I was informed they have cancer. When the time stumbled on inform me I was going to have to proceed through radiation, I said yes sir and followed orders. Now I did not have cancer but I a very extremely rare illness which they know nothing about. When they said to behave it had been what you had done before that could, or might possibly not have worked. Since then I have found out that many of that time period it didn't work and that I was among the lucky few who lived.
Sustainable a persistence for sustainable agriculture provides a grower the flexibleness to handle potential cataclysmic threats for their vineyard while remaining a faithful steward of the lands they may be working. The goal of Sustainable agriculture is to farm Organically when possible, while retaining to be able to respond to problems that might otherwise ruin a harvest. Many Sustainable producers are growing grapes in marginal climates that do not let them the luxury of farming completely Organically every vintage. Other Sustainable grape growers operate toward their Organic certification but do not yet have a very of sufficient length good reputation for Organic farming of their vineyards to be entitled to Organic certification. Sustainable growers use synthetic chemical additives within their vineyards only like a last resort and not in any way in lots of vintages.
The type of compressors that you employ is additionally destined to be extremely important when it comes to running an energy-efficient operation. One thing utilized by many dairy farmers successfully can be a water cooled plate cooler. Compressors are generally found in order to cut back milk agitation and they also certainly will use a lot of electricity if they are running on a regular basis. If you change to a milking system which cools the tanks where the milk is stored to at least one that is certainly operating on well water, you will see that you happen to be saving a substantial amount of cash in the procedure. As a matter of fact, this type of system cannot only enable you to spend less, it is extremely effective when compared to a cooler that runs on electricity.
Biodynamic based about the teaching of Rudolf Steiner, Biodynamics is really a response by farmers that are worried about the degradation of these lands. The basis of Biodynamics is a lot more than the prohibition of synthetic chemicals, but a consignment to actions which ensure an appropriate balance and harmony between land, plants, and also the environment. The guiding principals of Biodynamics are:

Bible Study from Calvary Chapel Newberg
with Tom Fuller
Barriers to Belief
John 20:1-31
The account of the resurrection of Jesus as recorded by the Apostle John is really about three encounters with the risen Lord. The first is Mary Magdalene, the disciple out of whom Jesus had driven seven demons (Luke 8:1-3). Then there was Peter and John, probably Jesus' closest friends on earth (though we will focus on one of them today). Finally, there is Thomas. From these three we learn three great lessons about our own encounter with the risen Lord.
1 – 2
Mark's gospel (Mark 16) tells us that Mary and a group of other women came out as soon as they could after the Sabbath. Their express purpose was to complete the Jewish burial rituals, but Matthew tells us they wanted to "view" the tomb. Joseph and Nicodemus had brought 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes and had already anointed the body, but because they were in such a rush perhaps they hadn't been able to do it perfectly. Or maybe Mary and the other women just wanted a part in the burial since Jesus was so important to them. At this point they have no notion of the resurrection.
They talked on the way about who would roll the stone away for them but when they arrived they saw it already removed. Grave robbing was probably not that uncommon given the story that the chief priests give to the Roman guards to tell. Again, they probably went to the most common notion—no resurrection in view.
Mary's upset, and rightly so, so she tears back to where they were staying (the upper room perhaps?) and tells the two men in charge: Peter and John. We don't know who "they" are. Perhaps Mary is worried that the religious leaders, Jesus' enemies, have taken Him. Her focus: "we don't know where they've put Him." All she can think about is caring for the body of the One she loved and loved her. His body is the only thing remaining of Him, she thinks.
3 – 10
I can't help but notice the subtle competition between Peter and John. In the footrace to the tomb, it is John who points out who won. But notice too that John does not go in, only stoops and looks into the tomb and can just see the linen cloths, and perhaps was afraid the body was there, and did not want to defile himself by entering. Or perhaps he was afraid that if he confirmed the presence of a body, it would dash all hopes that Jesus was indeed the Messiah.
Peter has no qualms about entering the tomb. John follows. What they see is odd, especially if the body had been stolen. Jesus apparently rose right through the grave cloths, as He will go right through other matter (doors, to be precise) a little later on. It's the first hint we get at the differences between a body of this creation, and one of the next. Matter, apparently, doesn't matter to a resurrected human. Grave cloths were a bit like a mummy would be wrapped. Remember Lazarus in John 11? Jesus had to command them to "unwrap" him. So not only were the grave cloths laying there undisturbed (impossible if robbers had moved Him) but the face cloth was all folded up neatly. The significance of this is widely debated. Some feel it follows a tradition that a host would fold up his napkin to say "I'm done" when dining. Others, that a Jewish carpenter would fold his handkerchief to indicate he was finished with his job—like a final inspection report.
There's really nothing in the text to help us. The word for handkerchief is also used in Acts 19:12 when it speaks of Paul's handkerchiefs being carried and God healing sick people they touched. The idea of "folded up in a separate place" – folded up comes from a Greek word that means "to twist" or "entwine". One commentator (Expositors Bible Commentary Abridged NT page 368) suggests the cloth kept the shape of Jesus head.
For some reason this was so significant to John that when he saw it, he "believed". Yet it was belief in what? John goes on to say they had no clue about the resurrection (though Jesus had told them on numerous occasions). Surely, though, it signified that something special had happened. This was no grave robbery.
11 – 14
Mary won't go in. She already knows the body isn't there so she's now focused on finding Him, to continue her service to her Lord even in His death. Two times she is asked about her grief—once by angels sitting by where Jesus' body was (why didn't Peter and John see them I wonder?) and then by Jesus standing right there. Her grief and purpose and tears made it so she couldn't hear and couldn't see straight.
15 – 18
At this point Mary had her back to Jesus. The Lord addresses her with a term of respect and she won't even turn around to see Him but says that if this guy can help fulfill her purpose then fine, otherwise don't bother me. All Jesus has to do is say her name. Though His physical appearance looked different, His voice never changed. Mary clings to Him like "now that I've got you I'm never letting you out of my sight again!" Jesus wants her to accept a new reality, then really get back on page with His purpose, and that is to make sure the disciples know that He is alive and that His purposes have never deviated: to ascend to the Father and send the Holy Spirit.
19 – 23
The disciples were behind locked doors. Though they had seen the empty tomb and had heard Mary's story, they feared that they were next on the Most Wanted list. Jesus appears and twice tells them "peace". "It's all right" He's saying. He proves it is Him, the resurrected Jesus, and that nothing has changed, they are to go in the power of the Holy Spirit and preach the gospel of forgiveness. Where they preach, lives will be changed. Where they do not, they will not.
24 – 29
I personally believe Thomas suffered from clinical depression. It was he that said: (John 11:16) "Let's go so that we may die with Him." And (John 14:5) "Lord, we don't know where You're going. How can we know the way?" I call Him the Eeyore of the disciples. We don't know why Thomas wasn't with the others on that Sunday. Maybe he was depressed. Maybe he was angry. The others told him Jesus was alive but he refused to believe until it was proven. He didn't have to wait long, but when Jesus appeared to Thomas and offered the proof, suddenly Thomas didn't need it anymore. He was the first after the resurrection to refuse to believe, and then the first to call Jesus Lord and God.
So what happened with these three and what can we learn from it? First, let's look at their perspective:
- John was not close enough to see (he stayed outside the tomb). Have you been afraid to actually consider the claims that Jesus is the Messiah and the only way to God and eternal life?
- Mary was too close to see (she encountered Jesus but wouldn't even look at Him). Maybe you focus in so much on supposed contradictions or minute details of doctrine that you miss the gospel—our need for forgiveness and that coming from Jesus.
- Thomas wasn't even in the neighborhood (he refused to be with the other disciples). Maybe you go your own merry way and think the gospel is only for the weak. You miss it to your own peril.
It wasn't just perspective, though. Each of these (Mary, John, Thomas) had barriers to belief:
John's barrier was fear:
Perhaps he feared that if he went in, he'd find Jesus' body there and it would be another blow, another loss.
Mary's barrier was grief:
Marry was so focused on her own conceptions and purpose she couldn't see Jesus right in front of her
Thomas' barrier was anger:
Notice the anger in his voice when he says in verse 25 "I will never believe!"
Thomas had given up before seeing it through to the end.
Each of them had barriers so that they couldn't see or hear what Jesus was trying to demonstrate to them—that He was alive and well and now, so would they!
So how did they over these barriers overcome?
- John had to push past his fear and enter the tomb to see for himself.
- Mary had to listen and be reminded of her personal relationship with Jesus as He called out "Mary".
- Thomas had to see the Lord and have his anger called out—to deal with it squarely with Jesus.
Fear, grief, and anger are real emotions and there is nothing wrong with them. But these emotions tend to cloud our thinking and put up barriers to us thinking clearly about Jesus. If you are having a hard time understanding the gospel, or for that matter, what Jesus is doing in your life, you might examine yourself to see if one of these emotions is making it harder for you.
How do you get past it? You get past fear by pushing through, to see for yourself and then deal with the consequences. Fear is the dread of an unknown future. When John saw the face cloth all folded up something clicked in Him. Even though he didn't fully understand, he trusted that this wasn't his worst fear. Somehow Jesus had this under control.
You get past grief by being reminded of your personal relationship with Jesus. If you love Him, as Mary did, hear Him calling your name. Grief is suffering a severe loss of something dear to you. In Jesus, you need to know that the most precious thing in the universe will never be taken away.
You get past anger by addressing it. Anger is the expression of pain brought about by personal loss. Thomas let his anger keep him from seeing that everything was really okay, more than okay in fact. He wanted proof. But anger, as is often the case, clouds our judgment. It's interesting to me that Jesus offered the proof to him, but in the end it wasn't needed. For you, demanding that God prove His love for you isn't going to really get you anywhere. Face your anger over injustice or loss or fear by facing the nail-scarred hands and pierced side of Jesus. He paid the price for all the loss and injustice and sin in your life and in the lives of everyone in the world. Let your anger turn to trust in Him.
I want to end with verse 29. Jesus says: "You guys got to see me so it's easier to believe. But it's even cooler for those who haven't had the opportunity to see Me in person, and yet trust in Me." Today we can't see the physical Jesus. He ascended as He told Mary He was going to do, and sent the Holy Spirit into the hearts of those who trust in Him to tell His story. It started with those who saw Him—this rag-tag group of men and women. But their eyewitness testimony has come down to us. They wrote down what they experienced and now you get the opportunity to trust in Jesus too.
What's keeping you? Unbelief? Grief? Anger? Fear? Want proof to your satisfaction? My advice is to push past those things—see the empty tomb, see the risen Lord, and see the nail prints in His hands and sword-pierced side and realize He did this all for you individually. He wants just as much a personal relationship with you as He has with Mary Magdalen. And you can have it, by turning away from what this age offers in terms of security, intimacy, and purpose (which, by the way, lead to a body left in the tomb, not risen). And let the sacrifice of Jesus on your behalf forgive your weaknesses, fill you with His Spirit, and give you the security of knowing you will live with Him forever, the intimacy of a close personal relationship with the maker of the universe, and purpose to help Him bring this good news to others. I guarantee you will NEVER regret it!

Nothing has amazed me more as to see him discover writing. We spent a lot of time on the road this summer. With nothing more than a notebook and a mechanical pencil, he would spend some of that time writing; actually drawing pictures but I never called it that.
This led me to wonder. Do I allow enough time for my students to draw into writing? Probably, not. My team and I are usually focused at getting words on the paper and sentences. Then, at one point of the year, we complain about how our kids can't draw. Duh! We didn't really allow time for this. So, this school year, I hope to step back a little. I will spend more time teaching my students how to draw and how to use those drawings to tell a story.
In the meantime, I have my copy of In Pictures and In Words and the wonderful book study hosted by Mrs. Wills for more ideas and book recommendations.
How do you teach writing in kindergarten?

A preview of Geofacets' 600,000+ geoscience maps to be made available to the Petrel platform's geoscientist users through Studio WorldMap
A preview of Geofacets' 600,000+ geoscience maps to be made available to the Petrel platform's geoscientist users through Studio WorldMap
New York, NY, April 26, 2016
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, services today announced a further integration of Geofacets with Petrel* E&P software platform and Studio* E&P knowledge environment via Studio WorldMap. Through the integration with Studio WorldMap, users of Petrel 2015 will immediately preview hundreds of thousands of geologically significant maps and articles sourced from Geofacets' vast database without interrupting their workflow.
Oil & gas companies face progressively technical and data-heavy environments. Combining data and analysis capabilities together reduces the cumbersome and time-intensive exploration research process, while increasing the variety of validated geologic information within the Petrel platform exposes geoscientists to content and insights they may never have considered searching before.
Through Studio WorldMap, all Petrel users will now be able to see the locations of Geofacets map data on the Petrel platform's interactive map interface. They will also see geologic information about each map, such as associated basins, along with an image of the map.
"By integrating Geofacets' content into Studio WorldMap, we move one step further to addressing the evolving ways in which geoscientists work in the 21st century," said Phoebe McMellon, Director of Product Management at Geofacets. "Particularly in this challenging environment, where explorations teams are experiencing a significant reduction in resources, but still faced with the same time and business pressures, Geofacets and Studio WorldMap help exploration teams access high quality content and data that is normally difficult to find, thereby, helping teams efficiently and effectively, gain deep geologic and geophysical understanding of the subsurface, ultimately improving productivity."
Geofacets' initial collaboration with Schlumberger was announced in 2014 with the launch of the Geofacets Connector for the Petrel platform and the Studio environment. This plug-in allows users of both the Petrel platform and Geofacets users to search for and download georeferenced maps into 2D and 3D geological and geophysical models created in the Petrel platform.
Geofacets is a geoscience solution that enables efficient and thorough analysis of subsurface geology to empower confident natural resource exploration decisions and research. With a unique combination of expertly-curated and trusted geologic maps, geoscience and location-based map search, and the inclusion of georeferenced maps for seamless integration into GIS, modelling and presentation software, Geofacets helps leading companies and institutions worldwide enhance geologic knowledge, make critical exploration decisions and increase productivity.

I have Western Digital My Passport Essential Portable Hard Drive with USB3 and
Until about two or three months ago when I connected that to My Laptop USB3 port, that worked very well. But now when I'm connecting that to My device, The system does not detect any Hard Drives. When plug in the USB2 port is working properly. I connected that to another Laptop with USB3 port but I had the same problem. I tested My Laptop port with a Flash Memory by USB3 and ports were healthy and I'm sure they are working. For this issue, I changed the windows, but it still did not work. What can I do?

XMetaL Author Essent 12:the typing is lagging (slow) with increase of text size
March 19, 2019, 10:09:53 AM »
Users reports that the typing experience is slow with increse of size of document.
With a relative big document (110kb of xml ) some times is very annoing use the editor.
As developer, i checked if there is some macro that running but i found correlations with the problem.
in Options > General > i tried to remove check from "Check spelling while typing" but not resolve the issue.
Binary#: 12.0.0.077
Installer#: 12.0.0238

This is true in general: the larger a document is the slower interactions with that document will be.
However, 110KB is nowhere near what I would consider to be "large". I would say that's pretty small. We have clients that work with multi-MB sized documents. In some cases editing is "slow" but that depends on much more than simply XML file size. As an example, the sample "CamerasInFocus.xml" (that uses the fairly complex journalist.dtd) ships at 8KB. After copying and pasting content in that document to increase overall content size to 1.5MB I see no reduction in authoring interactions other than an increase in save time (which also does a full document validation by default), increasing from less than 1 second (at 8KB) to several seconds (at 1.5MB).
So, here are some things to look at:
The complexity of the document itself and the complexity of the schema (DTD or XSD) can contribute. In other words, a document consisting of one element containing thousands of lines of text will be easier on the software than a document with thousands of elements each containing a small amount of text. A document containing complex validation rules can also slow editing (complexity of the schema). In other words, if the software needs to decide between many elements, attributes, or values when inserting or changing or validating those things vs a simpler schema where there are only a few options editing the latter will be faster. These issues are primarily related to how XMetaL Author uses its "rules checking" feature to stop users from putting a document into an invalid state.
If none of the things below help then the primary strategy in this case would be to reduce document size (if the schema is not the issue or the schema cannot be altered) and then piece together multiple smaller documents when transforming the XML to its final output (if that is necessary).
Additional things that will slow editing include the complexity of the CSS used to render the document in Tags On and Normal view as well as macros that run when various actions take place. The CTM file can also have an effect, primarily if it contains script or if it is configured to render XFT forms with complicated scripting code or display many XFT documents inline in a document.
The "check spelling while typing" feature can also slow editing, so it makes sense to try turning that off, as you have done.
The "bidirectional text" feature (which is off by default) can drastically reduce editing speed, depending on which languages are being rendered, so if you don't need that feature make sure it is off.
You might try a test where you replace your CSS file and CTM file with empty files to see if that helps. If it does help then replace portions of those files until the issue returns to find out what is contributing to the slow down.
Macros that fire frequently (such as On_Update_UI) can slow down document editing, as well as macros that run less frequently but contain complex code, or macros that are relying on some external service to respond (these would typically be found with CMS integrations or systems that help with language such as spelling, grammar, controlled language database, etc).
The rendering of tables in a document can be slow, depending on the table type. HTML tables are auto-sized so they can be slower than CALS to render while users are making changes to content within them. Very large tables in general are slow (all table types). The only solution here is to reduce their size, which typically means breaking large tables into pieces then joining them together during output transformation if the final output requires that.
Note that the issues above generally don't apply to Plain Text view as most of the features mentioned won't function in that view, or if they do they function in a much simpler way.

Hi Derek,
thanks for the comprehensive reply.
Trying to completely reset the css file the problem disappears.
I started to exclude half by half the css rules (binary search) to understand what was causing the problem.
Surprisingly, the para tag (most used) had a
display: block;
set, and removing it the problem is solved....
But removing the
"display: block;"
rule the paragraphs no longer go on a new line.
In the ctm file customization I tried to insert the NewLineAfterEnd option but without visual effect.

It looks like the problem of the
rule occurs only if there are associated
If i use as workaround the rule es.
border-top: 7px solid white;
the issue is reduced

Drawing borders around or having a background-color on very large elements (elements that take up multiple screens) can reduce the editing speed.
Sorry I missed that one. I have had quite a fast computer for a few years now so these issues are very much reduced for me and I have to perform fairly extreme stress tests to see them. In my case the element has to span about 25 screens before I start to notice this issue.
If you are drawing a white border then I suspect you must also have a different background-color set for some parent element. If that element commonly spans multiple screens then that could be contributing.
The colour itself does not matter.

We have temporarily closed all Denver Botanic Gardens locations. Denver Botanic Gardens' response to COVID-19
Spells of fairly warm winter weather are a hallmark of Colorado's Front Range, providing us lucky residents a great chance to spend some time outdoors when our more easterly neighbors remain oppressed by grey cold. Conifers are great for some winter greenery both in the wild and in gardens, but don't overlook their more evolved cousins, broad-leaved evergreens. Like the coniferous sort, broad-leaved evergreens hold their leaves through the winter. Unlike the coniferous sort, though, they don't have needles, and so provide a lush texture that belies their hardiness and can make a winter garden a bit more enchanting.
Oregon grape holly (Berberis [syn. Mahonia] repens) and boxwoods (Buxus spp) are broad-leaved evergreens (too) commonly planted in Colorado. Other options abound!
If you're into woody plants, manzanitas are a great option. Colorado Manzanita, (Arctostaphylos x coloradensis) is a Plant Select ® Colorado-native hybrid complex (having genetic material from several different species, including the popular and fun-to-say Kinnikinnick). Several selections of manzanita are available at local nurseries. One of my favorites (although a bit more difficult to track down) is Arctostaphylos patula (Greenleaf manzanita). All of the manzanitas are drought-tolerant once established, and like to be grown in well drained soils. Plant them on a slope or mound if your property boasts our typical clay soil.
A good plant for a shrub border or hedge is Garrya, or Silktassel. Garrya fremontii, Fremont's Silktassel, grows well in some shade and has elegant silvery leaves. A similar relative, Garrya wrightii, is usually available in the Garden Grown division of the spring plant sale, held annually on Mothers' Day weekend. It likes more sun, is drought tolerant, and will make a dense barrier with time.
Another Plant Select® option is Paxistima canbyi (Mountain Lover). Paxistima does well in sun or shade and provides a lovely green carpet all year. Consider lining it out as a border for formal-feeling perennial and annual flower beds—it spreads slowly but is very easy to tame.
If herbaceous plants excite you or if you have a small space to fill, then consider Rohdea japonica, or Japanese Sacred Lily. This is perennial member of the asparagus family has strappy leaves that enjoy some protection from the winter sun, and often large red fruits that persist through the winter. They need moderate moisture to really thrive, but are tough as nails. They grow slowly to form clumps that can be divided if care is taken.
Broad-leaved evergreens (as well as conifers) in the garden provide a nice backdrop to summer blossoms. In the winter, though, they come into their own and can mean the difference between threadbare and charming. Branch out!

Listen to these songs if you want to hear Jack's current music. This is the best place for venues considering Jack for a booking to get a feel for the music.
Live recordings:
Buckets of Rain
Count On Me
Across The Winterline
A Natural Man (song for Josh White)
CD recordings:
Me and My Automobile
The High Road Home
Meet Me Mama
If Night Be Kind
Lucky Old Sun
Hometown Boy
Great stuff you may not have heard before! In fact, no one may have heard it before now. These songs range from the early days of Jack's career - rock 'n roll bar bands, duos and trios - to recordings of obscure songs and live performances. We'll change the selections on a regular basis as we rediscover the gems on the old cassettes and reel-to-reels.
PLEASE DON'T book (or not book!) Jack based on these songs. The bands are defunct, and he no longer sounds like this.

After Thermopylae the Spartans were only interested in defending the Peloponnese. Their next line of defence was across the Isthmus of Corinth. The atmosphere on the two sides of that line was now very different. Much of the Peloponnese was still far from the war. At Olympia the four-yearly games were taking place as usual. (Who on earth was free to attend them? one wonders.) North of the Corinthian gulf, however, townsmen and countrymen alike knew that the Persian army would be on top of them any day now. Knowing this, what did they do?
The men of Delphi routed the Persian force which hoped to plunder the treasures of their sanctuary. They were helped by a storm and probably by some hocus-pocus arranged by the resourceful priests of Apollo. The men of Baeotia, with its capital, Thebes, put up no opposition and submitted to Persian occupation. The Athenians evacuated Attica, moved their families over to Salamis, Aegina or the Peloponnese and waited to see what Themistocles and his ships would do.
Themistocles had been with the Greek fleet at Artemisium, opposing the Persians at sea, while Leonidas fought them on land. He then moved south, inscribing propaganda slogans on the rocks, where he hoped the Ionians in the Persian fleet would read them and be moved to but when the Persian fleet later passed that way (there had been a period of shore leave for the sailors to inspect and exult over the Spartan deed) no Ionian showed any sign of wanting to change sides.
The Persian army advanced through Attica and entered Athens. The Delphie oracle had said that Athens would he kept safe by her "wooden walls" and a few diehards, refusing to take part in the evacuation, remained behind a wooden barricade on the Acropolis. They learned too late that they had misinterpreted the oracle. Their resistance was overcome and Xerxes burned Athens. Themistocles and his sailors could now be sure that their ships were the only "wooden walls" which stood between the Athenians and annihilation.
Unfortunately, although Athens had supplied by far the largest number of ships (180) to the Greek fleet, the admiral-n-chief was a Spartan. Athens had not yet the prestige to persuade other states to serve under her. At sea, as on land, a Spartan had to be in charge.
Spartans or Corinthians could view the Athenian refugees and the smoking ruins of their homes with equanimity. In their hearts they were probably rather relieved. What mattered to them was the defence of the Isthmus. As far as they were concerned, the sooner the fleet left the better. Themistocles, however, was sure that the narrows between Salamis and the mainland were the best place in which to fight the more cumbersome and more numerous Persian ships. Having failed to persuade his allies, he finally got his way by sending to Xerxes a trusted slave, who gave warning that the Greek fleet intended to slip away. On hearing this the Persians sent an Egyptian squadron to close the channel of escape between Salamis and the mainland. Then the Persian fleet sailed in, thinking the Greeks were trapped.
It was the Persians who were trapped. Their numbers were no advantage in the confined space and the Greek ships, which were lighter and more skillfully manoeuvred, soon began to get the upper hand. It was not an easy victory. Fighting went on all day. But in the end the Greeks won. This was in September of the year 480.
The victory at Salamis was splendid and noble men were there. Aristides, his exile shortened because of the emergency, plunged ashore at the head of the first landing party. Aeschylus, the poet, a veteran of Marathon, was probably with him. He put it all into a play, a tragedy called the Persians, in which Themistocles is not mentioned. It is Zeus whom Aeschylus thanks for the glorious victory.
Xerxes had watched the battle from a throne, which had been placed for him on a hill above the narrows. When it was over he decided to leave Greece. The remains of the fleet and part of the army moved back towards the Hellespont, where the bridges of boats were still intact. The rest of the Persian army attacked again in the following year (479) but was defeated at Plataea. Then they too retreated.
The Persians never returned to Greece, but some years later they welcomed a distinguished Greek visitor and made him extremely comfortable. He was Themistocles. Like Hippias the ex-tyrant, he had made his homeland too hot for him and wanted breathing space to plan a comeback. In time he lost heart and took poison — an undignified death for the victor of Salamis. So Athens was set on the way to power by a talented traitor.

Last year saw a further increase in employment in Switzerland, with a particular leap in the public sector. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
In 2014 approximately 25,000 new full-time vacancies opened up. Experts say that 2015 will see another 20,000 new jobs created.
Employment statistics show how numbers of the working population have remained constant throughout the 1990s and increased steadily in the last ten years.
The reasons behind this boom can be traced back to the treaties for the free movement of people and favourable taxation policies, which have encouraged many foreign companies to set up shop in Switzerland.
Changes in demographics, and the recent shift towards a knowledge society has also meant an increase in jobs related to health care and education.
Job openings have been especially numerous in the public sector and government-related institutions, causing some economists to debate how sustainable and healthy this trend is for the future of the economy.

Growing bonsai? Knowing about plant pests comes with the territory! Because we use many different kinds of plants to create bonsai trees, there are many different problems to watch for.
Not all bonsai are susceptible to the same diseases and insects. Each time you venture to another species, research the potential pests and diseases for that plant.
Spider mites are less than 1 mm (0.04 in) in size and vary in color. In the world of bonsai, mites rank pretty high on the 'bad bug scale.' The type of mites we see most often are red spider mites. They are barely visible, but can be easily spotted on a piece of white paper.
We often assume mites only attack our juniper bonsai, not so! They like everything from regular house plants to trees in the yard. Their feeding causes the plant to appear off-color and eventually turn completely brown. Another symptom is the webs they weave (where they lay eggs).
Mites can kill plants quickly. When you have a bonsai that has a gray caste to it or one that just doesn't look quite right, suspect spider mites.
Mealybugs are soft-bodied insects that are often covered with cottony white filaments. You may be surprised at how many different kinds there are.
In this enlarged photo they are shown on asparagus fern. They are especially fond of foliage plants and will often show up on bonsai Ficus varieties. (Especially indoors.)
The mealybug is something you want to catch early, they are one of the causes of black sooty mold!
Another terrible invasion of plant pests can come from root mealy bugs! They are worse than the above ground kind, and very difficult to see!
(The soft bodied mealybugs (shown above) are also considered a type of scale. Often spraying a contact pesticide is not enough. Horticulture oils and systemics work best. )
Borers nearly always attack unhealthy or stressed plants or trees. Although you may think your tree is healthy, what about the injuries from cutting? These 'wounds' are perfect entry places for borers.
Not as common as many other plant pests, however, borers are always something to be aware of. Some bore deeply into the wood, however, many bore just under the bark.
Keep your eyes open for "frass." Frass is excrement from what larvae have eaten. When they are eating woody plants, the refuse left behind is much like sawdust. If you see any "sawdust" on the soil, draw a visual line straight up to the trunk or branch above. Look for a tiny hole, although sometimes they are barely visible. When you see these signs, find the soft area.
Try to gouge out the area as soon as possible. Don't stop digging around soft spots until you find something. A beetle and/or larvae is almost always still there! You may end up with a terrific shari or as in the ugly damage shown here, you may not be so lucky!
See these pictures of a juniper twig girdler (Periploca nigra) from the curator of the national collection in Washington, DC.
Nashia inaguensis (Bahama Berry) is one species of plants Pit Scale is particularly attracted to. It can be devastating.
See a full description on Nashia page.
Sporothrix schenckii fungus - This is a dangerous pathogen for people ! Linked to sphagnum moss and thorns such as those on Bougainvillea. Especially if you work with sphagnum moss, this is a must read article.
If you don't know what's crawling on your tree, or why your tree is doing something weird (like wilting or dropping leaves,) always ask! Each time you venture to another species, research the potential plant pests and diseases for that plant.
Remember, there are reasons for some plants to wilt or drop leaves. Never spray pesticides first!
Ready for some good news? There are more plant "beneficials" than plant pests. Some you may not recognize and others you may have wrongly decided are bad, could be beneficial bonsai care helpers!

Demand for Electric Power in Norway : Estimating price and substitution elasticities
Øyan, Ola Hagen
Master thesis

Økonomisk institutt
The main goal of this master thesis is to estimate how the prices of electricity and heating oil affect the aggregate demand for electric power in Norway. The sample period is 2000-2010. I find that aggregate demand is responding to prices. But the effect is limited. The thesis finds that the price elasticity during the summer becomes stronger and more significant if one control for a structural break in late 2004. This indicates that the mandatory setup of automatic hourly consumption reporting systems have influenced electricity demand. The results also improves in quality if one correct for the months of the greatest economic turmoil during the financial crisis of 2008-09.
Compared to existing studies the thesis makes use of more recent data and it takes longer time periods into account. I estimate my models over a much longer sample period than have been usual. My models also control for more explanatory variables than the existing studies (I am aware of). For example, earlier studies do not bring the price of heating oil into their models. As heating oil is a substitute to electrical heating, these studies may suffer from omitted variables bias. By controlling for more variables, my models may be more reliable in describing electric power demand. The longer sample period also makes it possible to extract longer term effects and to model market dynamics in greater detail.
Information about consumer behavior in the period may be useful for future investment decisions in infrastructure and production capacity. Accurate information about price and substitution elasticities may also be of interest for improving climate policies and tax regimes. In the next two sections I present my methods and the main results of the thesis.
I estimate a demand equation for electricity combining instrumental variable regression methods and autoregressive distributed lag models. To identify strong instruments, important explanatory variables and relevant market dynamics, I use the automatic model selection software implemented in OxMetrics 12. The software is further used for identifying large outliers, split sample analysis, forecast tests and in estimating the steady state solution to the model. The dataset and code is available for other researchers upon request.
A central decision to make in a study of the Norwegian market for electricity is the choice and measurement of an electricity price variable. In the deregulated market after 1991, producers and consumers were free to establish bilateral contracts and several contract types (and prices) therefore exist. The price can also vary between different regions within the country. Some consumers therefore follow long term fixed price contracts while others buy in the Nord Pool spot market. Standard variable price contracts are also common. In these contracts, the supplier must notify price hikes two weeks in advance. I argue that the standard variable price contract is the best contract for my purposes. The main arguments are that: i) the prices in the different contracts tend to follow each other. ii) the price is the same across all regions if one use this variable.
To identify valid instruments for the price of electricity, broad and accurate information about the market is necessary. A section describing key statistics of the Nord Pool area is therefore an important part of the thesis. I use three different variables as instruments: Inflows, reservoir contents and the price of coal. Inflows to hydropower reservoirs are probably not affecting electricity demand directly. Reservoir content levels will affect the present value of the water reservoirs and thus the behavior of hydropower producers. Furthermore, coal is barely used for other purposes than electricity production. In the thesis I argue that different transformed versions of these variables only affects the supply side of the market, and that they therefore could be used as instruments for the price of electricity. The instruments are thus useful for the identification of supply and demand side effects.
Accurate information about the market is also important for categorizing exogenous explanatory variables correctly. In Norway, electricity is much used for heating during the long and cold Norwegian winter. The winter season is also dark and electricity is therefore also used for lighting. This supports the inclusion of a variable related to temperature, as well as seasonal controls that capture the changing lighting conditions. As electricity is mostly used for technical equipment during the summer season, one may also expect that the price elasticity is different during the summer. I therefore include a term to adjust for this potential seasonal effect. During national holidays such as Christmas and Easter, manufacturing is reduced. The model should therefore include variables capturing this. Furthermore, the income and the economic activity level also affect the demand for electricity. The gross domestic product of Norway (excl. offshore activity) is therefore included in the models.
Another potentially crucial factor for understanding the electricity market is how often consumption is reported. Prior to 2005, only units consuming more than 400,000 kWh of electricity annually were required to report their electricity consumption at hourly intervals. Systems consuming less generally reported their consumption monthly and their bill was determined according to a typical consumption pattern. Hence, only very large consumers had an incentive to adjust demand according to short time price fluctuations. In 2005, the requirement was made mandatory to systems consuming 100,000 kWh or more annually as well. Increased awareness about the possibility to taking advantage of short term price fluctuations may have caused a structural change in the market after this period. In about five years, the system is planned to be required on practically all systems. How the demand side has responded to the 100,000 kWh changes of 2005 may therefore give us useful information about how hourly reporting in all units will affect the market.
Future analysis could adjust for regional price differences in electricity prices and grid rents. One could also take the distribution of contract types into account, i.e. how many percent of the consumers that were on spot price contracts. Furthermore, one could include more explanatory variables. The price of carbon dioxide emission and natural gas are obvious candidates. But wood related heating products could also be used. Carbon dioxide emission allowances and natural gas prices data are available. But these variables are difficult to model. Good data on the price of wood related products are hard to find. Micro level data on consumption could also yield alternative to the approach I am using.
Main results
My final model estimates the long-run price elasticity at -0.1235 in the winter season. In the summer season the price elasticity is estimated at -0.0173. The seasonal difference is likely due to greater substitution availability during the winter. The final model further estimates the substitution elasticity with regards to heating oil at 0.0486. A one percent increase in the price of heating oil thus increase the demand for electricity by approximately 0.05 percent. As explained in chapter 2, the electricity price amounts to roughly one third of the total electricity cost. One could therefore approximate the total electricity price effect by multiplying the estimated price elasticities by a factor of three.
Johnsen (2001) estimates the price elasticity to be between -0.05 and -0.35. He finds the price elasticity to be the highest when price levels are high. He thus also finds the greatest price elasticities during the winter season. The fact that he finds the price elasticities to be greater than I do may have several reasons. I include several variables that he does not control for. Furthermore, he used data from the mid-1990s, and the market may have structurally changed since then. The sample length of my study is much longer than the sample period he used.
The estimated elasticities in my study are greater than those found by Bye and Hansen (2008). They estimate the long-run direct spot price elasticity to be -0.02 in the winter and generally zero (inelastic) during the summer. They look at a shorter period of time than I do, and my results may therefore capture more long term effects more accurately (due to sample size). They are furthermore analyzing the spot price market, which has greater price volatility. As the actual price paid is generally based on a monthly average price, these fluctuations are not generally of practical importance for small or medium sized consumers.
My analysis does indeed find that something happened to the market in late 2004. The substitution effect became stronger and more significant. The summer price elasticity also increased. The introduction of mandatory hourly report systems is the likely reason behind this structural change. Adjusting for this as well the financial crisis, the parameters remain stable in sub-sample tests. This suggests that the model also can be used for forecasting purposes.
The conclusion is thus that the demand side of the Norwegian electricity market responds to price movements. But the response is limited. This suggests that a tax on electricity is probably quite efficient, because consumers will not substitute consumption away from electricity to a great extent. Furthermore, the results indicate how challenging it is to reduce electricity demand significantly for, i.e., eco-political causes.

It is often assumed that when war broke out in Europe in August 1914, cricket stopped immediately.
In fact, although men were joining up by the day in their tens of thousands, cricket rumbled on in England for several more weeks in the face of increasing criticism. It was only the intervention of the elderly WG Grace, allied to growing reports of heavy casualties in the Battle of Mons, that brought a premature curtain down on the season.
There had been a growing feeling of inevitability about a European war since the middle of July, and by the beginning of August it was clear that Britain would be sucked in. As ultimatums were delivered - and ignored - and newspapers snapped up as soon as they went on sale, so people could digest the latest developments, life went on in an almost surreal way.
On August 3, a gloriously hot Bank Holiday Monday, 14,555 people flocked to The Oval to watch Jack Hobbs make a then career-best 226.
At Old Trafford, Monkey Hornby was called from the field where he was captaining Lancashire against Yorkshire and summoned to the War Office, and within hours Sir Archibald White, Yorkshire's skipper, was heading south to join his regiment. The following evening war was declared against Germany, and within 48 hours a number of other players, including Pelham Warner, Middlesex's captain, and Arthur Carr, Nottinghamshire's skipper, abandoned their cricket commitments and headed off to war.
At the request of the government, cricket continued. But within days it was clear that the rush to enlist was leaving gaps in the county teams, and it was also affecting attendances, as watching sport was no longer a priority. The Canterbury week began but the marquees were empty and the dances, so much a feature of the festival, were cancelled.
On August 6, MCC issued a statement saying that "no good purpose can be saved at the moment by cancelling matches", but heavy rain washed out most games for the remainder of the week. On the same day at Trent Bridge, Hampshire's opening bowler Basil Melle was handed a telegram after six overs with the new ball and walked off the ground. He had been called up by the Oxford University detachment of the King's Colonial Corp. As in many similar instances, a full substitute was allowed.
Hobbs was due to have a benefit match at The Oval starting on August 10, but the ground was requisitioned by the army, so he was given the choice of cancellation or switching to Lord's. He chose the latter, and so Surrey had the odd experience of playing a home match in St John's Wood. Financially it was a failure as the crowds stayed away, so much so that the Surrey committee took the unprecedented step of agreeing not to regard it as a benefit, awarding Hobbs another match "as soon as circumstances permit".
The newspapers started carrying letters attacking sportsmen, especially cricketers, for carrying on. A letter from "A British Woman" to the Daily Mirror asked: "Cannot something be done to persuade the cricketers to turn their time and thoughts to more serious matters than playing matches? Isn't cricket merely a game to keep the eye in training and to keep men fit, so that when their country calls for them they are ready to answer that call?"
On August 13, the same day Britain declared war on the Austro-Hungarian empire, the MCC issued a second statement advising that "owing to the war" all matches at Lord's in September had been cancelled.
On August 17, Kent had to move their match against Lancashire from Dover to Canterbury on account of the military build-up and resulting congestion in the area. Poor weather continued to blight the late season, but the euphoria that followed the outbreak of war was quickly giving way to concern at the bad news coming from Belgium, where the British Expeditionary Force was in retreat.
On August 26 the headlines of the newspapers were dominated by the BEF suffering 2000 casualties. The ludicrousness of carrying on with cricket was becoming increasingly obvious, not only because of the growing number of players who had joined up but also the difficulty in travelling by train on anything other than urgent business.
"It is not fitting at a time like this that able-bodied men should be playing cricket by day and pleasure-seekers look on" WG Grace in a letter to the Sportsman
The following day, Grace's letter appeared in the Sportsman. "I think the time has arrived when the county cricket season should be closed, for it is not fitting at a time like this that able-bodied men should be playing cricket by day and pleasure-seekers look on. I should like to see all first-class cricketers of suitable age set a good example and come to the help of their country without delay in its hour of need."
The reaction was instantaneous, and not everyone was prepared to hold back. One correspondent wrote: "Are rugger men going to follow the perfidious example of their chicken-hearted brethren among cricket's amateurs?"
Although it is often written that Grace's letter brought an immediate end to cricket, it did not, and matches rumbled on for almost another week. The national newspapers stopped carrying anything but the briefest of scores.
At The Oval, back in Surrey 's hands, Gloucestershire could only field ten men. In St John's Wood, where Middlesex were hosting Kent, spectators were lambasted in the Daily Mirror as "the ignoble band of patriots pouring into Lord's to cheer on the great contest they are better there, as a young man who can spend his time at a cricket match just now would surely run at the sight of a German". The same edition carried pictures of the first wounded soldiers coming home.
Attitudes hardened by the day. On August 31, Lord Roberts, speaking to a newly formed regiment in London, took time out to praise its volunteers. "How different is your action to that of the men who can still go on with their cricket and football as if the very existence of this country was not at stake." Editorials in newspapers swung from grumbling disapproval of those continuing to play and watch to out-and-out hostility.
Eventually, the authorities, under fire from every side, stepped in to scrap the remaining matches in the Championship "in deference to public opinion". The MCC, in an almost sulking statement, announced the early finish to the Scarborough Festival because "the continuation of first-class cricket is hurtful to the feelings of a section of the public".
The final action of the first-class season took place at Hove on September 2 where Sussex were playing Yorkshire . "The men's hearts were barely in the game," Cricket reported, "and the match was given up as a draw at tea." Twenty-five years and one day later, the last game before the outbreak of World War Two was between the same sides on the same ground.
Surrey, who led the Championship at the time of its curtailment, were awarded the title but by then few cared as the daily reports of losses in Belgium continued to grow longer.
In December 1914 several counties were still talking about playing a reduced programme the following summer, and there were discussions about a knockout competition with the bulk of the first-class counties bolstered by combined Minor County sides. In the event, the war dragged on for another four years and there was to be no resumption of first-class cricket until 1919.
In all, 210 first-class cricketers are believed to have joined up, of whom 34 were killed. However, the obituary sections of Wisden between 1915 and 1919 contained the names of hundreds of players and officials of all standards who had died
Curtailed seasons took place in Australia, New Zealand and India in 1914-15; in 1915-16 and 1916-17 the only first-class cricket took place in India; it resumed in New Zealand in 1917-18, in Australia in 1918-19, and in South Africa in 1919-20.

PRESIDENT Lungu says Kasama Central Member of Parliament (MP) Geoffrey Mwamba does not represent the Patriotic Front (PF) in Parliament following his appointment as United Party for National Development (UPND) vice-president.
The President said the Zambian constitution is clear about MPs who cross the floor and that it does not allow dual membership.
The head of State said this in an interview with journalists in Lusaka yesterday at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport before his departure for Uganda for a state visit.
"I didn't know that Mr Mwamba is still a member of the PF. In the interest of democracy, let him go in peace. It is up to him to choose between the PF and the UPND.
"It is either he remains in the PF or goes to the UPND but he should understand that the constitution does not allow dual membership and it is very clear about that," President Lungu said.
He, however, said he would allow legal minds and Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini to guide on the matter.
The President wished Mr Mwamba and the UPND well, saying the country's democracy needs a strong opposition.
"I wish Mr Mwamba well with his money and his arrogance and I hope he is going to make the UPND popular just like Mr Richard Kapita has done to the PF," the head of State said.

I've read, and heard, about the Night Markets in Taiwan – streets full of vendors open and busy until late at night. . . including a great deal of street food. These Night Markets are also one of the inspirations for a festival called Lucky Rice in New York City, which (not a coincidence) has a new cookbook coming out soon and sent an advance copy to Bear Pond to review. Lucky Rice features "modern classics" from around Asia. You can read about the events they've organized here. We've got some modern classics on our own menu now for takeout.
Peppery Pork Buns: These buns use both black peppercorns and Szechuan pepper. The Szechuan pepper will make your mouth tingle and (for me) it changes how things taste to be more sour. If you don't want your pork buns playing tricks on your senses, skip this dish. The sweet-soy dip they come with tones it down. They're best reheated in an oven at 375 to be crispy on the outside. Easier if they're room temperature when they go in.
Ma Po Tofu over Rice: It's a spicy dish, but with a well rounded spiciness not just gratuitous heat. You can reheat in the microwave or saucepan (it may need a splash of water or wine in the saucepan to keep from burning on the bottom).
Dan Dan Noodles: Noodles with a soupy-sauce or saucy-soup pork topping (depending on how you look at it). Don't overheat when you warm it up, to keep the noodles from getting soggy.
Korean Chicken Wings: A half dozen wings with a dipping sauce. You can reheat ideally in the oven in tinfoil, or the microwave.
Stir Fried Vegetables with Galangal-Coconut Sauce: Galangal is usually described as similar to ginger – it's less bright, more pungent. Like ginger, it goes well with coconut. Stir fried vegetables are tricky to reheat (if you're picky about your stir fry). In an ideal world you'd turn up the heat on a skillet and re-fry the vegetables real quick. Heat up the sauce separately and pour on top. Or if you aren't feeling picky about the texture of your vegetables, microwave it.
Japanese Pancakes: Recognizing that I'm way too anxious about reheating vegetables, I'd added an age old solution to the problem: Japanese Pancakes (which I've also seen called Korean Pancakes). You turn the stir fry into a pancake, a quick visit to a hot skillet and it's good to go. The galangal-coconut sauce works particularly well with these.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Kecap Manis Glaze: Kecap Manis is a sweet soy sauce, and in this case it's being an Asian version of maple syrup. Another dish where doing something that keeps it crispy is ideal. You could throw these in a pan under a broiler really quickly ,or in a skillet. The goal is crispy outside, soft inside. Just crisp the outside or they'll fall apart in the reheating.
Ginger Custard: This is a very (very) subtly sweet, soy milk based custard. A nice grown up dessert for midweek.
Red Bean Paste Cookies: Super sweet red bean paste and coconut flakes fill a pie dough crust in these pocket cookies.

crappy does it when showing up to hockey with the last of my fuel to do everything i could do and still get shat on for one thing i didn't do. it also doesn't help that the cherry picking linemate told me i had stopped skating. thanks but no thanks; at least i'm the one up doing forechecks and the one to rush back to finish my backchecks while you wait at the red line for that perfect pass. i got home really bitter and that one thought alone kept me up late at night. it's one thing to have high expectations, it's another to be shatting on me for one thing i couldn't do without gas left in my tank. i'm beyond upset and didn't feel the need to even react to anymore comments

day 1794 – flasherback
emerging leader meeting got me well on my way to a long weekend; a weekend i'll actually have. i'm feeling really burnt out lately so this is a timely and much needed string of days off. while i have time to sit down, i flashed back to when i was in the best shape of my life before it all went down the drain all due to a broken thumb. it then became one of the toughest moments of my life because of all that happened and all that couldn't happen. that's all behind me because i learn and i grow. i think now i'm ready to train for what got me to the shape i wanted. i have my eyes set on being the fittest, healthiest and strongest i could ever be
day 1793 – roller and flosser
the fact my body is badly bruised front and back is enough reason not to partake the after-work bootcamp. the excessive overworked body is sore from hip flexor, to hamstring, to calves, to traps, to shoulders, to lats. hence, i spent much time on the floor releasing myself. i did a pre-game roll on my softball and a post-game roll on foam roller and pvc pipe. since that wasn't enough, i went one step further and did some flossing
day 1792 – supreme me
ate a late night banana and hope i don't get leg cramps overnight after a night of flipping and hockey sandwiched with a quick dinner. got a chance to test out my newly acquired supreme shin pads and i like the coverage. overall, my line played a good game despite getting hit in the ribs with a slapshot during warmup. i felt it immediately and hunched over for a good while and the fact adrenaline hasn't clicked in wasn't a good feeling. it hit hit directly in unpadded territory between my pants and chest protector. i'll definitely see the big bruise tomorrow morning
day 1791 – fruitie smoothie
making an effort to growing my office fruit garden and conscious effort of eating more fruits in general. though it's missing one of my staples, i gathered some of my favourite including mangoes, peaches and bananas. i've been pretty adamant in making some semi meal replacement smoothies with my portable blender. can't wait until it's cherry season, but sad this year i've lost my sources from friend's kelowna farm
day 1790 – miss fits
i come to realize i generally don't do what normal people do and do what normal people wouldn't do. i've never been a follower of the norm just because; i do what i want and i follow the path that my passion leads. it has taught me it's okay to stand out and be different. there's a lot that i want that a normal girl doesn't have ambitions for and doesn't strive for. there are things any regular human being may never care about, but all i'm doing is going after things i want to achieve and believe will make myself fulfilled. i want to be able to have amiable fitness, to be play an abundance of sports, to flip and do gravity defying things and to make everyone around me happy
day 1789 – pay up
settled the winter term paychecks so me and my instructors can get paid for our services delivered more than three months back. getting paid for killarney is always so troublesome since they're nit-picking on the smallest detail. the amount on my cheques doesn't even justify how much time i spend doing the payrolls. glad winter term is finally dealt with, but that means it's just about time to send in the spring invoices so i can start calculating payroll all over again
