We've been in Florida for four days now and as of this afternoon, I hadn't been to a real beach (I don't count the tidal flats of Marco Island as proper beach, though it did make for excellent shorebird habitat). So after a wonderful day spent with our host exploring Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary--one of Florida's best birding spots--and stocking up on fresh fruit and avocados for a late lunch, we finally got to the beach. We accessed the beach north of Naples Pier and were surprised by how quiet it was on this still warm afternoon. A mixed flock of shorebirds huddled nearby, while sanderlings and a few willets fed in the edge of the surf. I walked barefoot in the soft white sand, stooping to collect colorful shells as squadrons of pelicans flew past. Aah...
As the sun sank lower and the sky began to garner some color, we noticed that a throng had at last gathered down the beach for the daily ritual of seeing the sun sink into the watery bed of the Gulf. While hazy clouds muted the finale, it was still a perfect way to end our latest day in paradise. As we left, shells jingled in our pockets, and the ever-constant waves continued to lap the shore beneath the rosy clouds.
Let us go now, watch
the old sun set, birds feeding:
ancient rituals.

Parking Lots

The Fair Complex has several large parking lots to accommodate the visitors to our annual Washington County Fair and the events held here, but sometimes, the parking lots themselves work well as the actual venue for certain events.
Our parking lots are only rented out for events when it's compatible with the other activities happening inside our facility, because we do need to make sure we are providing plenty of parking for visitors to all of the activities happening on site, and the time of year and weather challenges are also considered, so it does depend on the schedule, but when it works, it can be a great option for things like RV sales, off-site car sales, and traveling circuses, just to name a few of the events that have been staged in our lots.
The Parking Lots are identified as:
Cornell and 34th Lot
Main Gravel Lot
East of 34th Lot
Cloverleaf Lot
For Fiscal Year 2019-2020, each is priced at $748.00 per day.
The User must furnish a certificate of liability insurance, with the minimum limits of liability being $
1,000,000.00 per occurrence
for each bodily injury and property damage,
and $2,000,000.00 aggregate
. The insurance documents will also include a page serving as the Additional Insured Policy endorsement stating the policy has been altered to include
Washington County Fair Complex, Washington County, their elected officials, officers, agents, and employees
as additional insured. The name on the insurance certificate must be the same person, persons, company, or organization that appears on the User Agreement.

Bennett ready for more after Tirreno-Adriatico podium
Irishman confident after stage 2 result
Irishman Sam Bennett (Bora-Argon 18) continued his successful early season run Thursday, sprinting to a third-place finish during the second stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, just missing out to Jens Debusschere (Lotto-Soudal) and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo).
Related Articles
Bennett's German Pro Continental team got into the action early in the day, with Cristiano Salerno and Patrick Konrad infiltrating a breakaway of seven riders that slipped away near the start of the 153km stage from Camaiore to Cascina.
"We are very satisfied," Bora-Argon 18 director Enrico Poitschke. "The team prepared the entire stage for Sam. They did a top job and given the sprint competition, Sam's third place is a superb result. Of course, we always want to win but that wasn't possible today. Due to the crash within the last 100 meters, Sam had to disrupt his sprint when he avoided crashing."
Poitschke said that both Konrad and Salerno had been tasked with making the days breakaway, and it provided the team with an advantage when they both made the selection.
"We tried with Patrick to score some points for the KOM jersey. That worked and now he has the first points in his pocket," Poitschke said. "We still have some stages to go and maybe we have the chance to fight for the KOM jersey at the end of the race. Bartosz and Björn were involved in a crash with 10km to go. That affected our sprint lead-out but the most important thing is that both riders are OK and nothing serious happened."
Poitschke added that Bennett, who won a stage at the Tour of Qatar earlier this year, is ready for more results this week.
"He still has reserves left and he is confident to go for more. That makes us optimistic."

My first ensemble is made from tough wool tsumugi.
My first kimono ensemble arrived yesterday – this black wool number from Yamatoku (a spur-of-the-moment 99 cent bid).
The kimono is a classically unlined wool kimono, but has quite a high-end, cotton-lined collar with a press-stud (all my other wool kimono have sewn-down collars). The haori is lined with a pretty polyester lining and a very deep hem.
Described as unused, both seem to be fairly modern, but since they had a musty smell from long storage and when I opened the kimono, a silverfish fell out, I decided to take a risk for once and wash them, as they will now be put away until winter.
I've never washed a wool kimono before, nor a haori – I've always been too worried about the lining shrinking at a different rate from the main fabric, and the dyes leaking – but I popped them into a lingerie bag and washed them on zero degrees on wool wash and they've come out absolutely fine. I ironed them while still damp this morning, and they're now drying on racks, awaiting another pressing once fully dry.
Wool tsumugi is a very tough, slubby, slightly hairy weave (think Harris Tweed only thinner) that is very different from the fine 'moserin' (muslin) weaves you see in wool juban.
I got the DH a couple of wool jubans this summer that are very thin – one like a wool challis and the other so thin and fine that it's almost transparent. He wears both of them over pjs as a dressing gown. This wool kimono, in contrast, must never go anywhere near my skin, I think, or I would be itching like crazy. It is far more like suiting, and will go well over jeans and a sweater in winter. I might put a black velvet collar on the haori, and possibly on the kimono too, to be on the safe side.
Kimono-haori ensembles nearly always seem to be wool. I don't know whether I'll be wearing this kimono and haori more together or more separately, but I can guess that they'll both get plenty of wear this coming season, for both their warmth and their dark, practical colours. It is really nice to contemplate livening up my usual all-black and brown winter sweaters and jeans with some bright colours like this red, green and yellow.

* This morning I drew the 13th hexagram, sometimes called "social mechanism," which refers not only to the joining or gathering of social forces for a higher purpose or cause but also to clans, factions, and factional battles
* Uranus' desire for progress at all costs, for the future to be here now, or for liberation from the known, may push us from within the Venus-ruled sign of Taurus to join new groups or it may disrupt our social lives
* It may also prompt us to get involved in factions, cliques or group conflicts over what we see as the highest "good."
* The fourth line of the 13th hexagram depicts a situation in which the person considering going to war decides it is better not to go to war, perhaps after getting a smaller taste for what the battle would be like...as a result of his caution, hesitation, and better thinking, there is good fortune
* We should be very careful about cliques, popularity contests, and the shimmering images of the good and the beautiful that come and tempt us..." join this group, join this cause, it is good, it is beautiful, and it is better than whatever you're currently apart of."
* The second hexagram that came up was 37, or "family duties," and in this context, the sequence shows us the wisdom of treating each other as members of the same family rather than allowing our golden ideas to devolve into factionalism or tribalism or nationalisms of any kind that would sever the most basic bonds of sweetness
* Liz Greene once pointed out that people don't usually appreciate Venus' capacity for envy and jealousy...because we stay focused on the beauty and harmony...
* Uranus in Taurus, in terms of our social bonds, can create snobbery, elitism, factions, and cliques, or even social allegiances based on shared material interests, professional status, or maintaining the status quo in the face of the pressure to change or grow
* Uranus in Taurus also matches the rebel and individualist with the harmonizer...so we may also benefit from finding like-minded spiritual groups or allies during this period, or we may benefit from joining with others rather than persisting in doing things our own way or doing things alone
Prayer: Bring us into the bonds of spiritual association...keep us from the cliques and factions of self-interest.

Hi. I'm Ron and this is my story.
March 18, 2019
"Sitting alone in our campsite..."
I wrote this poem in 2007 while sitting alone in our campsite at Grover Hot Springs State Park in Markleeville CA (Alpine County). It is one of our family favorites! The poem represents my daily relationship with God as I imperfectly try to remain FAT-faithful, available and teachable.
The High Anxiety Prayer
The wind in the mighty trees
Is like the voice of God
Sometimes a gentle breeze
Sometimes the roar of a hot rod.
He tells me to REST when I rest
LABOR when I labor
Give Him and others my best
With love for all especially my neighbor.
Pray without ceasing
This His loving command
When your brow is creasing
Just know you're in his hand.

Our areas of expertise
Our expertise spans all water environments –
from rivers and reservoirs, to oceans and coastlines, to cities and factories.
We have a 50-year track record in developing and implementing solutions that meet real-life challenges in water environments worldwide.
So whether you need to save water, share it fairly, improve its quality, quantify its impact or manage its flow, we can help.
All our areas of expertise
We helped the Water Resources Department (WRD) of Maharashtra in India improve flood management operations with our Real-Time Streamflow Forecasting and Reservoir Operation System (RTSF & ROS). Operating the 46 reservoirs in the Krishna and Bhima River Basins in an integrated manner was difficult for the WRD of Maharashtra. Previously, water authorities operated the basins on rigid schedules and as single entities based on historical hydro-meteorological data and previous experience. However, highly variable rainfall in the area combined with delays in receiving up-to-date data made it difficult to adapt to changing conditions. Our RTSF & ROS provided the WRD of Maharashtra with the information they need to efficiently operate multiple reservoirs. A real-time Decision Support System (RTDSS), our RTSF & ROS utilises the data collected from 300 telemetry stations in the Krishna and Bhima River Basins, which includes:
The system's hydrological, hydrodynamic and real-time flood forecasting modules then utilise the collected data to help authorities:
Now Maharashtra's WRD can optimise the operation of the area's reservoirs and improve flood management significantly.

Okay well actually we have been and gone but thank you Vengaboys. Scotland isn't exactly known for our days of glorious sunshine and after a long winter (Remember Beast from the East?!) a few days away in the sun was required.
So when we spotted £30 (note: we never check on hold luggage for weekends away) return flights to Ibiza it seemed rude not to take Ryanair up on the offer.
And here is what we got up to and our recommendations……
Where we stayed…
We opted to stay in San Antonio over Ibiza Town and the resorts primarily because it was the cheapest option (just being real here)! Our hotel, Hostal Balearic, came in at the tidy price £128 for the four nights for the both of us. It was great but you definitely aren't looking at beach views or aircon and for that price you wouldn't really expect it. But seriously for the cooler months April/ May/ October it's perfect. Private room, phenomenal shower, balcony and lovely owner. Just a nice easy going hotel, no complaints by us!
San Antonio is great, there is an huge natural harbour and the sunset strip is an amazing place to sit and watch the sunset (obviously!) Good bus connections makes it easy enough to explore the rest of the island.
How we got about…
Public transport, honestly so easy especially with 4G these days. I think the most we paid on the bus was €3.50. If you're traveling outside of peak tourist season (June- October) just be aware that to get to San Antonio you'll have to go via Ibiza Town. Don't waste your pennies on taxi's there is no need!
What we did…
Feeling particularly adventurous on day one we set off up the coast towards Cala Salada/Cala Saladeta from San Antonio. This is a beautiful 16km walk along the west coast line of Ibiza. There is incredible scenery- be sure to wear your swimming costume as you're going to want to jump in the sea at some point! Would definitely recommend taking a packed lunch and stopping for an ice cream at Cala Salada (restaurant was a little pricey here) . On your way back you'll definitely feel like a beer and Hostal La Torre is the spot. Beautiful views out over the sea, a little slice of heaven. The coastal walk isn't the best marked trail we have come across, but just follow the coastline as much as possible and you'll get there eventually (just be prepared for a few wrong turns!)
Day two and three began with a quick 5km run along the San Antonio promenade followed by long lazy days topping up our tans on the beach. Although the beach at San Antonio town is fine, we would recommend walking further up the coast to a little cove and setting up there.
Our last day saw us head off into Ibiza Town such a beautiful place we enjoyed wandering around the old fort and generally taking in the town. Before we enjoyed a final lunch and the afternoon laying in the park soaking up the last of the vitamin D.
Where we danced…
Deciding to skip the bigger clubs 'soft opening parties' we enjoyed a few drinks on the balcony before heading out for drinks in San Antonio. Nothing really to write home about, mainly the Irish and Scottish pubs seemed to be busiest. Perhaps the night out in San Antonio town improves later in the season….
Where we ate…
To keep down costs we stocked up on treats and necessities at the local supermarket. Three out of the four nights we munched on our favourite spanish treats for dinner sitting on our little balcony. We love allioli!
Breakfast is such a cheap meal to eat out for, and if like us you require decent caffeine as soon as possible upon waking up then it's a must. Easily able to pick up breakfast for between €1.50- €3.00. Tostadas are the best thing since sliced bread, mainly because it is sliced bread but with a spanish touch!
We would recommend Rita's Cantina for brekkie and also as a good location for an evening drink.
Lunch was mainly snacking on things from the supermarket or treats from our favourite bakery Harinus. We slightly feel in love with this bakery and this sandwich, a carb lovers dream!
On our last night we enjoyed some incredible tapas at La Carlota Cook and Roll (also ate breakfast here on our first day) would highly recommend. Authentic tapas restaurants seemed hard to come by in San Antonio, perhaps we were looking in the wrong places.
Why we would go back…
We couldn't get enough of Ibiza and have resolved that for a weekend of sunshine and happiness it ticks all the boxes. £200 for five days, oh this makes my budget friendly heart happy.
We also have a few things we want to do next time we are back:
- Rent a car and head further north to explore more of the island
- Take a boat trip out to Fomentera
- Eat at Smari – Cocina and Bar
- Try the box gym on the beach at San Antonio.

Top 20: Outstanding Breeder Honor Roll
In order to pay tribute to our breeders, the idea was born to recognize consistent and outstanding achievement of our top breeders in the form of a new program, the Top Twenty Outstanding Breeder Honor Roll. Breeders who have bred a minimum of 5 dogs ranked in the top twenty Bouviers competing in the nation since the inception of the our Top Twenty event from the year 2000 to 2011, were honored and recognized at the 2011 Top Twenty event as charter members of the Honor Roll.
In the coming years, as breeders qualify for this special recognition, their names will be added and recognized at each year's Top Twenty evening event. We congratulate the accomplishments of these dedicated people and look forward to adding the names of those who will join them in the future and recognized at our Top 20 Competition evening event.

Amid LOC tensions between Pakistan and India and MNS threat to Pakistani actors, the publicist of Ajay Devgan's 'Shivaay' has cleared that Saba Qamar or any other Pakistani actress is not part of this film, which will be hitting the screen on Diwali this year.
It will be worth mentioning here that, Indian national party MNS came up with 48hrs deadline for Pakistani actors and asked them to leave India. Such response came in after India alleged Pakistan of conducting Uri Attack .
The official representative of the 'Shivaay' said on Friday, "Actress Saba Qamar or any other Pakistani actor or actress is not a part of 'Shivaay'," read a statement issued by the movie's publicist on behalf of the filmmakers.
On the other hand, Pakistan has not got release of 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' as no local distributor in Pakistan has asked for the NoC of the film.

It seemed appropriate that there were jets flying over as churches throughout Lincoln County gathered at the Caliente firehouse for the second annual Community Day of Prayer.
This was a non-denominational event where all community members were invited to come and pray for the county, state, nation, military and the world.
Songs from Andy Robertson and choirs from Holy Child Catholic Church, Bible Talk Church, and Bella Voce filled the fire hall. Between songs, there were prayers from church leaders.
Becky Eizman from Trinity Assembly of God gave the opening prayer. Others offering prayers were Cole Bradshaw of Caliente Christian Center; Deacon Pat FitzSimons of Holy Child Catholic Church; Kathy Hiatt of Christ Episcopal Church; Paul Matthews of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; and Pastor Bob Mayer of Caliente United Community Methodist Church.
Prayers were followed by a moment of silence and reflection.
The hall then echoed as the congregation sang "God Bless America."
The closing prayer was by LDS Bishop Cody Tingey. Before leaving everyone stood, hands over their hearts, to say the National Anthem in heartfelt voices.
The chorister was Beverly Peterson and pianist was Kristen Truman.
One speaker said how blessed we are to live where we do and have the freedom to come together and worship.

The legend of the "Fonte de Amores" (Fountain of Love) dates back to the fourth century BC, when the Celts occupied much of Western Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula where was part of the territory that is now Portugal.
The story goes that a beautiful Celtic princess named Belisama, was at a very young age promised in marriage to a prince from another tribe, to ensure prosperity and peace in the region.
Belisama, whose beauty was blossoming with each passing day, lived unhappy by having to marry someone who she did not know, and regularly sought tranquility on long rides through the mountains.
In the forest, covered with greenery and splendor, she sat on the rocks where a string of clear water went down the hillside, like, crying her sad fate.
Certain morning a young shepherd, who passed by with his flock, heard the sound of running water. By diverting the foliage to pass, found a stunning, serpentine of crystal clear water that slid through the rocks following the rhythmic chirping of the red-breasted-robins.
When approaching to refresh, he realizes the presence of the young princess. Amazed by such beauty, born between them a pure and beautiful love, yet forbidden.
Belisama, confesses her love for the young shepherd to her mother asking for help, as her father had discovered her secret and disgusted he sent the soldiers to kill him.
Desperate Belisama, with the blessing of her mother, decides to escape her fate, fleeing with the young shepherd.
Of the young couple, the King never had news. It is told that although modest, their life was generous in happiness.
Many years later her father falls ill, it is said that by sadness and longing.
Repentant names the spring as "Fonte de Amores" (Fountain of Love) and ever since became a place of pilgrimage for young couples and their vows of love.
The water that flows from "Fonte de Amores" is linked with pure and crystalline love.
Says the legend that, whoever drinks it, lives a life full of love and happiness.
The Water Fonte de Amores (Fountain of Love) is a spring water from Caramulo Sierra, available in bottles of 33cl, 50cl, 1.5L and 5L.

You are able to access your Nexus Wallet by a Decentralized Login System, anywhere, anytime, by simply downloading the application and logging in (via username, password, and pin). A huge advantage of the Nexus Wallet is that users no longer have the burden of storing private keys on a hard drive or hardware wallet, or rely on third party custodian services. A wallet.dat file for key storage (a common necessity in legacy blockchain systems) is no longer required.
View live market data from Bittrex and Binance, monitor market liquidity, and view the history of past market trends.
Save contacts within a comprehensive Address Book. Store details on your contacts such as: NXS address, email address, phone number and time zone.
Search, filter, and export transactions as a *.CSV file, or view your transaction history as a live graph.
Download software updates as simply as you do with a smartphone. Checking into GitHub to see the most up to date version is no longer necessary.
The Nexus Wallet provides a platform to easily install and create modules which give access to features such as Contracts, Tokens, and Assets. Building a Nexus module is as easy as developing a web page; you do not need any specialist blockchain programming skills. Modules can be built using other available APIs, or the APIs provided through Nexus.
Design your own skin or import others made by the Nexus community.
Help secure the network by staking with your Wallet. Minimum requirements are a continuous Internet connection (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), and a balance in your Wallet. In return, you can earn a stake rate between 0.5% and 3.0% per year, which deposits every time you receive a new trust transaction.
Signature Chains provide higher security through the use of a PIN, Password Recovery, Decentralized Login System, Quantum Resistance, Reversible Transactions and the future use of Password Managers and Biometrics.
A PIN is requested every time a transaction is created, much like using a bank card. This makes it more difficult to hack into someone's account, similar to Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
The wallet also has a password recovery system, in which users can set up a 'recovery phrase' (either 10, 20 or 100 words). The master seed phrase provides extra assurance, enabling one to recover their Nexus Account in the event that it is compromised, or the password has been forgotten.
You are able to access your Nexus Wallet anywhere, anytime, by simply downloading the application and logging in (via username, password, and pin). Users no longer have the burden of storing private keys.
The key pair to your wallet is also changed with every transaction, and the public key is hidden until it is used. The result of this is a high security standard with support for multiple signature schemes such as FALCON.
Transactions are required to be claimed (signatures are required from both sender and receiver). The result is a two-step validation process which prevents users from losing funds if accidentally sent to non-existent accounts.
To prevent attacks on your Sigchain through methods such as keyloggers, we designed the architecture to support hardware password managers such as the Zamek Hardware Password Manager.
In the future, we envision the use of biometrics for the generation of usernames, or as a secondary secret that can be used to improve the security of a Sigchain.
Your Wallet is the safest place to store your NXS. If coins are stored on an exchange or other custodial wallet, then the risk of coins being lost or stolen increases. To ensure you maintain ownership, we recommend that NXS is held in a password protected (encrypted) Nexus Wallet, or a recovery enabled Signature Chain. Remember: your wallet, your crypto. If your coins are stored somewhere else, they are not yours.
Nexus is an open source technology, licensed under an MIT agreement (click here to view license). You are the sole custodian of your coins, meaning there is no one that can recover your coins or encryption passwords if they are lost. In the case of technical difficulties, the Nexus Community will be happy to help with Wallet related queries.

While the last five years has seen some progress, there is still a paucity of women working in construction.
The image and public perception of the industry as male-dominated still plays a part and there is work to be done to ensure we're attracting the best candidates from both genders.
But let's start on a positive note with news of progress that is helping recruitment which the industry can capitalise on.
Firstly, there are senior women in the industry setting a fantastic example and driving for change. Is there scope for them to be more visible and to make their voices more clearly heard?
Secondly, the CCS is confident the work they're doing to improve the image of the industry is having an effect with less sexism and more consideration.
More specifically, CCS monitors question site managers about their company's equality and diversity policy during their site visits and scores come via evidence of active policy implementation.
These questions and wider discussions during site visits are raising awareness and changing the culture. But could the culture be changing faster and could those higher up the ladder beat the drum louder?
Lastly, but by no means least, the 2025 Construction Working Group has the recruitment of women on the agenda and will be recommending ways to address the shortfall. It will be important that any recommendations are practical and can be acted upon.
But what else can be done?
Grass roots schools careers advice for girls rarely includes construction as an option.
We need to explore routes into the system to encourage a positive and concerted effort by teachers and advisers to communicate the rich variety of opportunities in the industry and its changing culture.
It would be wonderful to see all levels and opportunities on the menu for serious consideration by both sexes as they embark on their journey into the world of work and for the industry to welcome more women.

From the FanPosts. I've got two interviews lined up so use this as the morning post and we'll have much more for your in just a bit. We'll also be having a special guest appearance this week on the blog. Stay tuned. -Chris
I recently read on here about whether or not people like, dislike, or find the Chiefs name offensive. Since most of you do not know how the Chiefs got their name here is a little education and history for you.
When Lamar Hunt was in talks with cities about where to move the Texans to another state, he sat down and had serious negotiations with the then Mayor of Kansas City, H. Roe Bartle. Mayor Bartle persuaded Lamar Hunt to move the team to K.C. and made several promises to Lamar Hunt in order to secure the deal.
Part of the deal was that Mayor Bartle had to get 35,000 season tickets sold to the public. Mayor Bartle called 20 big business owners in to his office and told them they had to sell that many. They were called the "Gold Coats". The public knew there would be a team coming to Kansas City, but did not know which team it was. The people of K.C. was so excited at the prospect that they did indeed buy 35,000 season tickets and didn't even know what team it was!
Lamar Hunt wanted to originally keep the teams name as Texans, "But Jack Steadman convinced me that wasn't too smart. It wouldn't sell", he said.
So a contest was started for the fans of Kansas City to name the team. The name that was entered the most was the Chiefs in honor of H. Roe Bartle, The name, "Chiefs" is not only derived from a fan contest, but also from Mayor Bartle, who 35 years prior, founded the Native American-based honor society known as The Tribe of Mic-O-Say within the Boy Scouts of America, which earned him the nickname, "The Chief." So from that point in history was born the Kansas City Chiefs.
The second and third most popular names were "Mules" and "Royals".

Meeting Abstract
Thursday, Jan. 5
Behavioral and physiological mechanisms of thermal adaptation in a diverse clade of
MUñOZ, M.M.*; STIMOLA, M.; LANDESTOY, M.A.; CONOVER, A.; RODRIGUEZ, A.J.; LOSOS, J.B.; Harvard University; Columbia University; University of California, Davis; Harvard University
lizards are often studied in the context of adaptive radiation in the Greater Antilles, where they have independently diversified into various habitat types termed ecomorphs. Although members of an ecomorph share similar microhabitat preferences and corresponding adaptive morphologies, species differ according to the thermal range they occupy. Three species in the Hispaniolan radiation of trunk- and ground-dwelling anoles,
Anolis cybotes
A. longitibialis
, and
A. shrevei
inhabit different thermal environments.
Anolis shrevei
is found in cool montane environments while
A. longitibialis
is found only in hot lowland forests.
Anolis cybotes
, a purported generalist, is found throughout the island, except at the highest elevations. Here we test three hypotheses about the mechanisms forging different thermal ranges in these closely related species. 1) The thermal preference and thermoregulatory efficiency of each species reflects the temperatures available in their respective environments. 2) Species' thermal tolerances match the thermal range of their environments. 3) Females from colder environments delay laying eggs to increase the rate of embryonic development. Despite their different thermal environments, these three species show similar thermal preferences and body temperatures, and do not differ in thermoregulatory efficiency. Higher elevation populations, and especially
Anolis shrevei
, have greater cold tolerance, but the reverse is not true for heat tolerance in low elevation populations. Egg retention in cold temperatures occurs in all species except in
Anolis longitibialis
. We summarize these behavioral and physiological patterns in light of thermal range experienced, and how thermal adaptation may have influenced diversification in this clade.

Interesting stuff. Blacks are well over one standard deviation below whites. This doesn't quite square with all the black doctors and scientists we see on TV. Women are about one-third of a SD below men--score one for Larry Summers.
Educational degree is no surprise; neither is the high Jewish mean. Anyone who completes high school should have been exposed to the information needed to answer the questions correctly. Many of those who finished high school and even attended college missed some of the questions, indicating that people are not understanding or retaining the information.
ScIQ differentiates churchgoers from non-attenders better than IQ does. I calculated Pearson correlations between scIQ and church attendance, and then the latter with IQ: the estimates are -.26 and -.08, respectively. Scientifically-minded people are less likely to go to church than people who are smart in a more general way, which supports the notion that there is intellectual friction between science and religion. By the way, scIQ correlates with IQ at .46.
It is also interesting that the West North Central region (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota) is at the top of the scIQ list, considering that New England tops the IQ list based on GSS data. Is it all the nerdy white folks who live in those parts? The uncool Mountain States are not far behind.

Are the religion numbers whites-only? There are way more African-American baptists than Catholics.ReplyDelete
Also, how much does intentional ignorance of evolutionary theory hurt low-ecclesicastical authority Protestants?
Oh yeah, I was reading a thread over at pandagon about absent fathers. A great many of them had abusive fathers. Commenters are a biased sample, so I was curious if there is a relationship between either abuse and strong leftism, or a more general correlation between extreme political opinions and abuse.

Your father is the first authority figure you meet. It's not surprising that people with poor relationships with their fathers would be anti-authority, which many leftists are. To the extent that a core of 'left' and 'right' exists, I'd say it's a tendency to be anti- or pro- authority/power/tradition etc. Similarly, in high school, jocks tend to be conservative, nerds in the middle, and artsy types liberal. (Could you prove this, Inductivist? You're good at this.) People's political views do grow out of their experiences in life.

What you've got with West North Central and Mountain is probably foiled by race; stratify on race and you'll probably get the expected educational order. I've never seen an IQ-related question those damned Bostonians don't come out ahead on ;)ReplyDelete

Consider questions (G) and (I). An evangelical/fundamentalist Protestant taking this survey may feel compelled by his or her faith to give the wrong answers despite knowing they are considered wrong by the non-religious community. Remember, this is just an opinion survey, there's no reward for right answers or penalty for wrong ones.ReplyDelete
This factor, in addition to race, may account for the low Protestant average ... and, for that matter, may in part account for the low black average, fundamentalism being popular among blacks.

Ensemble machine learning algorithms for satellite remote sensing of water quality in coastal watersMarvin Li, Alabama, USA 13-15
Sound management of coastal zone resources requires comprehensive and frequent monitoring of water quality and ecosystem productivity in coastal waters. Satellite remote sensing provides a synoptic view of the ocean surface at daily intervals. Central to ocean-color remote sensing is the development of algorithms that can accurately infer inherent water optical properties from satellite reflectance measurements. However, algorithms developed for the open ocean perform poorly in optically complex coastal waters and estuaries. In this project, I developed new machine learning algorithms that successfully retrieved chlorophyll and suspended sediment concentration, advancing satellite remote sensing of coastal waters.Show more

"A Burlington teenager sued two top school officials Monday, saying they violated her constitutional rights by removing her as class secretary because she used offensive slang to refer to administrators on an Internet blog."
She wrote her comment on her home computer and on her own time. In addition, she didn't use a specific name when referring to the school administrator.
Here's my two cents: while she should have used better language when expressing her frustration with the school administrators, she had every right to do so in the first place. The school had no right to punish her as they did. As a matter of fact, that should have been her parent's job.

Interesting white paper on podcasting in education. Apparently, audio only podcasting for review purposes serves students much better than lecture-type audio recordings. In particular, RSS feeds make it much more likely that students will download the podcasts and listen to them.
Reviewing lectures is a great study tool. It isn't, however, a replacement for attending class or interacting with other students, whether they attend online, f2f, blended, or otherwise.
Download the original whitepaper, Teaching with Technology White Paper: Podcasting.
Consensus: Podcasting Has No 'Inherent' Pedagogic Value
I love hands-on projects. They are a fantastic way to reinforce the learning process. And the fact that kids can have fun putting into practice what they learned is always a bonus.
Personally, I wished hands-on learning was a part of all curriculums, not just a summer fling.

At Inspera we work hard to have a healthy work culture and employee-friendly policies. That is why we are open to the practice of having pets in the workplace, and we encourage the Inspera Team to bring their pets with them to the office. In this article, we will introduce you to Inspera pets, discuss the benefits of bringing them to work, and share with you our employees' testimonials.
Respect above all: Coming to an agreement on welcoming pets
Before establishing this practice, we consulted with the team in order to see if employees saw any inconvenience of interacting with animals in the office, and if there was anyone who had some kind of pet allergy. We all agreed that, above all, having pets at Inspera should not have any negative effects on our employee's workplace experience. In the end, we decided to have a trial and, if successful, we would allow this practice from then on.
Introducing the most popular pet members of the Inspera Team
Our first guests were aquatic animals: several types of Goldfish and Catfish in a big aquarium at the entrance of the office, saying good morning to the employees. Next, we met Francesca's 2-years old Ludvik, a mix of Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd. Seeing the popularity of Ludvik and the good ambience he created at the workplace, Heidi and Tom also decided to introduce us to Kira, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and the Flat-Coated Retriever called Mooi, whose name means beautiful in Dutch. Kira and Mooi pay a visit to the office occasionally and they get along very well. Moreover, Therese recently joined us, so did her Golden Retriever Nora. All of them love to be petted and we love to pet them.
Our fish and canine friends Kira, Mooi and Nora love to be petted and we love to pet them.
What are the benefits of incorporating pets to the team?
There are many studies that confirm that bringing our pets to the workplace can have multiple benefits for the health of both employees and employers. According to a study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University study in spring 2012 at a dinnerware company in North Carolina with 20 to 30 dogs visiting every day, "employees who bring their dogs to work produced lower levels of the stress-causing hormone cortisol." The results showed a 11% reduction of stress and anxiety among the employees.
Pets can diminish our stress levels and lessen our reactions to stressful situations. How can this affect the increase of productivity of our co-workers? Employees who are healthier contribute better at the workplace than those who fall sick often or suffer chronic health issues.
We can notice that the canine team has also increased workplace interactions that would not normally take place, as well as they add some humor to our working routine and keep our spirits high. Optimism and laughter can be just as contagious as negativity and stress, and they result in higher morale of the Inspera Team and a better communication among peers.
Another benefit that we have experienced from welcoming pets at Inspera, is that they have a significant effect on our work-life balance. These animals help us pass long work hours more happily and they the remind us that we should take necessary breaks.

The Inspera pets help us reduce stress, and increase productivity, workplace interactions and work-life balance.
Testimonials from the Inspera Team
Our employees are very pleased with the joy and happiness that the Inspera pets bring. We have asked them how do these friendly animals make them feel, and these were some of the answers:
"We noticed that the simple fact of having dogs at Inspera enhanced cooperation and created a more successful work environment. We also observed a reduction in stress levels and the promotion of productivity." Heidi Lund-Isaksen, Human Resources and Accounting Officer
"I always had dogs and cats around me and, when I moved to the city, I realised how animals play an important role in my life. During the working hours at Inspera, I feel very lucky to see animals around and I try to take short breaks to enjoy their company. They definitely make my day better." Matteo Fiore, Data Scientist
"I love working in a place where my dog is welcomed, instead of being concerned if Mooi is feeling lonely at home. She forces me to take some breaks that I could otherwise forget, so I make myself get more work done. She makes the office a happier environment and I get a companion both at work and on my way home." Tomm Haavaag Bjørnsen, Service Desk Advisor
Tomm introducing Mooi to the Inspera Team
"I grew up with two German Shepherds and, unfortunately, nowadays I don't have any pets. When I see that some of my colleagues bring their pets, you can notice a huge smile in my face. It makes me feel good just to pet a puppy for 30 seconds, and I go back to my desk, being more relaxed and productive for the rest of the day." Mikel Aparicio, Marketing and Business Development
Doubtless, these cute team members have helped us to relieve stress at Inspera, boost the morale of our employees, and provide a model for teamwork. Thus, for the time being, there is no doubt that we will keep bringing dogs to the workplace. We are also considering combining this practice with other types of activities, such as music therapy, relaxation training, and animal-assisted therapy, which would benefit the long-term well-being of the employees and strengthen the team spirit.
Combining this practice with other types of activities, such as music therapy and relaxation training, will benefit the long-term well-being of the employees and strengthen our team spirit.
Do you want to be part of our team?
At Inspera we are looking for talent with a passion for democratising education. If you love animals and you want to work at the leading Scandinavian EdTech company with end-users in more than 160 countries, take a look at our job openings and join us!

Serious Cannon
Serious Cannon is a gun that fires large, bouncing cannonballs that pierce through enemies. The cannonballs can bounce up to 6 times before disappearing. Each shot can hit the same enemy multiple times.
Synergies[edit | edit source]
- Black Flag - If the player also has Corsair, each Corsair shot will periodically fire two bouncing cannonballs perpendicular to itself as it travels.
- Serious Sam Publishing Contract - If the player has Devolver, alongside the cannonball, Serious Cannon fires a screaming Beheaded Kamikaze who chases enemies and explodes on contact. Serious Cannon's shots will also devolve enemies.
- The Return - If the player has Pig, it turns green and fires flaming bats.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Unused: Kingpin - If the player has Turkey, it causes an unknown effect.
- Unused: Roll Shot - If the player has Rolling Eye, it causes an unknown effect.
- This gun is a reference to a weapon of the same name from Serious Sam.
- The synergy Serious Sam Publishing Contract is a reference to Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!, another game published by Devolver Digital.

Economists are predicting that home prices in the UK will decline by seven percent during 2011 due to the continued mortgage freeze. During the past year, mortgage lending sharply decreased because buyers were unable to locate affordable deals.
Economists say that the low, but stabilizing activity within the housing market indicates that housing prices will trend down, rather than crashing.
In 2010, mortgage lending dropped by ten percent to £135 billion and lenders continue their stringent lending restrictions. They are gun-shy due to increasing unemployment and the fear that borrowers may default on mortgage loan repayments. Mortgage advances during 2011 should remain unchanged. November house purchase advances reported on the Trends in Lending report from the Bank of England reflect a meager £5.6 billion.
During November, just 45,000 mortgages were approved for UK home purchases by major banks, according to the Bank of England. This figure is a slight increase from the 44,000 approvals made during each of September and October. However, it is 26 percent lower than the figure of November 2009.
Overall, economists say that by the end of 2011, housing prices will be ten percent lower than the peak 2010 levels. Since prices have already fallen by about three percent during recent months, they believe prices will decrease by an additional seven percent during 2011. What will greatly affect this figure is the number of additional homes put up for sale, availability of mortgages, and job and economic conditions.
The Council of Mortgage lenders reported a November lending figure of £11.1 billion, a five percent decrease from October. Year over year changes reflect 2009 market distortion due to expiration of the federal stamp duty holiday. This resulted in people purchasing properties with sale prices of up to £175,000 to rush through the sales process before the end of that year.

More than $2.7 million in cash along with several kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine drugs have been seized in Melbourne raids.
A police cocaine-trafficking operation raided homes in Caulfield North, Mulgrave and Hughesdale last week.
The cash and drugs were seized along with more than $4.5 million in assets.
A 32-year-old Mulgrave man is charged with several counts of trafficking a large commercial quantity of drugs and possessing the proceeds of crime.
He is remanded in custody to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on February 9.
While another Mulgrave man, 29, has been charged with eight counts of possessing proceeds of crime and has been released on bail to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court also on February 9.
