Days after Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad was caught on camera beating an Air India employee, a video has surfaced of a BJP MLA slapping a toll booth employee on the Moradabad-Bareilly highway in Uttar Pradesh.
On Monday, Mahendra Yadav, was caught slapping an employee on CCTV, for having to wait at the toll booth. The lawmaker from Biswan constituency in Sitapur, is seen in the video assaulting the employee, who appears to be in the middle of an argument with the legislator's staff.
It doesn't end there. Yadav is then seen pulling aside the barrier and and then grabbing the young man for another thrashing.
According to reports, the lawmaker was allegedly asked to wait at the toll plaza for 10 seconds, which made him furious. The people accompanying him then refused to pay the toll and tried to drive away without paying.

A couple weeks ago, I watched the movie The Only Living Boy in New York on Amazon Prime, and unfortunately, I think I'm one of the few people who really liked it. Its Rotten Tomatoes score is in the toilet, which depresses me, because it reminded me of the movies I really liked in my more impressionable years – specifically 2004-2009. It's a movie that stuck with me for a couple days, with some of the quotes still swirling around my head. Maybe people dislike it because it's a tad pretentious and a tad intellectual. Womp.
TBH, it's like 50% Jeff Bridges smoking, drinking, and spewing wisdom, which I could listen to all day. I actually wish Jeff Bridges would write a book of aphorisms and record an audio version of it so I could listen to it while I work. Nothing would make me feel more motivated to keep trying at life. Dear universe, please make this happen.

Canada's largest MBR plant will have GE membranes
A 36,000 m³/d expanded membrane bioreactor will be at the heart of an upgraded wastewater treatment plant for the city of Brandon in Manitoba, Canada.The facility, which will use GE ZeeWeed membranes, will be the largest MBR plant in Canada when it enters service in 2012.
The existing membrane plant, which also used ZeeWeed membranes, was first constructed in 2008 to treat the wastewater from an expansion at the Maple Leaf Pork hog-kill facility. Later, the desire to improve water treatment and expand capacity for the entire city caused Brandon to seek an additional upgrade to increase the operating flow.
The upgraded facility, designed by AECOM's Winnipeg office, will treat the waste from the city's existing plants as well as additional waste from a Pfizer manufacturing plant. It will be designed to accommodate an increasing population and a growing manufacturing capacity.
The upgraded facility will increase the number of trains from three to nine include prefabricated stainless-steel membrane tanks and equipment skids to minimize site footprint and construction costs on site. The membrane trains will be integrated with the existing MBR facility to ensure a seamless, control package in the centralized facility.
"The membrane units that GE Power & Water supplied for the second phase of our upgrade have exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We have been provided a top-notch product with excellent follow-up service. We look forward to working with them again during the final portion of the upgrade," said Patrick Pulak, city of Brandon.

It sure sounds like your dream job. You work when you want, take as much vacation as you like and the boss begs you to come in because you're needed desperately.
Call it the new retirement or semi-retirement. The reality of seniors working well past 65 is becoming the new norm in Canada as we live longer and look for something to do in our retirement. The new freedom is only half the story because many seniors are also finding they need to keep working to make ends meet if they want to maintain the lifestyle they had when they were working.
"I was a director of fitness and the company was sold. I was let go. I took the severance. I was 61," says Bob Bursach, now 69.
He found himself still wanting to work — he never plans to completely retire — and couldn't find the job he wanted full-time so he decided to work for himself as a personal fitness trainer.
According to Statistics Canada he's part of growing labour force over 55. In 1997 the employment rate for men 55 or over was 30.5% but by 2010 had climbed to 39.4%. During the same period employment for women 55 and over climbed from 15.8% to 28.6%.The federal agency says that since 2004 the average retirement age has remained steady at 62 but warns we need to brace ourselves as the Baby Boomers continue to reach retirement.
"The gradual entry of the sizeable Boomer generation in the 50-and-over group may have a large impact on the average retirement age," says a fall, 2011 report from StatsCan called Delayed retirement: A new trend?
So why are these people going to keep on working? There's no one answer, ultimately it's a mix of wanting to stay active and wanting to keep their balance sheet healthy.
"I love the field that I'm in, that's why I choose to keep working with people my age and even older," says Mr. Burasch, who has one client who is 91 — a gentleman who also happens to be still in the work force. "I also want to live in the same standard as the present time. I am privileged that I can work and keep my standard [of living]."
Add in the fact that Mr. Burasch helps out financially with one of his grandchildren who is disabled — not an uncommon scenario for grandparents — and it just makes sense to keep on working, especially if he likes his job.
But there is also the flexibility that doesn't make work quite the same chore. "I come from the former Yugoslavia so I like to go to Europe where I have a big, big family. I like to vacation with my wife," says Mr. Burasch. "This gives me more flexibility. I don't want the numerous hours I used to have."
Tina Tehranchian certified financial planner with Assante Capital Management Ltd. who has advised Mr. Burasch for 20 years, said so many of her clients just miss work once they stop.
"They miss the pace they had and need something to do. It's starts with consulting work that they think they'll do as a hobby here or there and before you know it, it's almost like full-time all over again," says Ms. Tehranchian, adding they find their skills are in demand and the money helps with their lifestyle.
Ms. Tehranchian says many of her clients get to retirement and realize they don't want to cut back on their spending, so why not supplement the savings and any pensions they have with more income?
"There are those that will never fully retire because that's what keeps them going," she says, adding many of her clients who take on consulting work do it on a project by project basis which allows them to control how much work they want and when. "They'll take a couple of months off and go on a cruise and then come back and work on a project."
She says usually the decision to unretire is something that people fall into after they leave the labour force and realize they are either bored or need more cash. They don't necessarily plan for a semi-retired lifestyle.
"I call it the Michael Jordan phenomenon. He wanted to retire but he kept going back and trying it all over again," says Ms. Tehranchian about the Hall of Fame basketball player who first retired to try his hand at baseball and needed to quit basketball three times before his retirement stuck. "Some of us fail at retirement."
There are several companies, web sites and services popping up that cater strictly to seniors. ThirdQuarter, for example, has offices in 14 Canadian communities to match seniors with paying and volunteer jobs.
But even the mainstream employment agencies say seniors are an increasing part of their business. Byrne Luft, vice-president of operations of Manpower Staffing Services Ltd., says he's seen the change up close.
"There is drive to it partly from their investment or savings perspective, " says Mr. Luft, adding the last recession changed many retirement plans as stock values plummeted. "A lot are working out of necessity."
It also helps that there is strong demand for their labour.
"This a great demographic for companies like ours. We can provide good service for the client finding the talented experienced people during the time frame they are needed for. The candidate, or Baby Boomer who wants to work and not much, it works for them as well," says Mr. Luft.
He says seniors are filling a gap for what is called "contingent labour" which is used by industry because it matches the flexibility of the business cycle.
"It allows them to augment their permanent work force to address any obvious work volumes, that's the primary benefit," says Mr. Luft, adding he doesn't think the older workforce is taking jobs from younger people because there is a "skills gap" that needs to be filled.
Craig Alexander, the chief economist with Toronto-Dominion Bank, says the trend of seniors staying in the workforce will continue. "I definitely think we will continue to see the labour force participation rate of older Canadians continue to raise. We will see an increase in part-time employment and self employment among Canadians 65 and older," says Mr. Alexander. "It's a reflection of some Canadians being unable to afford to retire at 65. But it's also known older Canadians are being drawn into consulting because either their employer or the sector in which they work needs to draw on their experience."
At the same time, he says the younger generations do not need to worry about their jobs being stolen by the greying population.
"I'm not worried about it. The broader story is an aging of labour market, a slowdown in the population growth," says Mr. Alexander. "I'm worried about labour shortages."
He offers no prediction for the future about what full retirement will look like.
"Canadians are living longer healthier lives. Take someone who is 75 and they are probably physically and mentally closer to someone who was 65 in the prior generation," says Mr. Alexander.

Setting Self Doubt on Fire: The Crossroads
I'm back again, and this week I got a topic that I hope will make you think, and even better offer you some solutions for you, while you travel along this guideless road. So what do I have for you this week? Well I will be talking about when you reach that crossroad in your writing journey, and this is something I have reached myself.
There comes a time in your writing journey where you need to ask yourself. What am I doing this for? Where do I want to go? For most, it will be to be able to write full time and have your work loved by readers (this isn't necessarily global success). I know for me a liveable income and the ability to write stories full time would be the greatest thing ever; I often daydream of my book in Waterstones. But to be able to reach this goal there comes a point where you need to take a risk, jump out that plane and hope your writing dream is there to catch you.
When you start out on this adventure at first the odd hour or two is enough, but as your confidence grows, success follows and the thought of a bigger project comes to mind, it becomes clear that those few hours are no longer enough. This writing journey takes time, not only is it writing that first draft, you have to edit and hunt for publishers, plus develop your skills. So when you have work and other commitments it is hard to fit everything in and this is when you have to ask yourself. "How much am I willing to commit to this?"
I read on a career-changing website about a girl taking a huge gamble, quit her job and worked on her novel (she saved up some money and did the odd job here and there). She finished the novel and got it published; she is now working on her second novel, and has an advance that allows her to work full time. I'm sure I've mentioned this story before, but it makes you think what if I took the risk. However, for those suffering with self-doubt taking that risk is even scarier, so many questions and fears jump in front of you and push out that idea. So what do you do because you can't stay in limbo forever, well for those of you (like me) who has Mr Self Doubt leaning on you I've come up with some solutions that may involve small risk taking rather than big.
As always, I have come up with 5 solutions.
- Reduce work hours: If you have no responsibilities (or even a supporting partner for those who have kids or married etc) then you could possibly see if you could reduce your working hours from full time to part time. This enables you to still earn but it will free up a lot of time. This option is mostly best for the ones who have no real responsibilities because the rent and mortgage won't pay itself.
- Change job: This is similar to point one however, this is moving from a demanding job (that requires lots of over time) to one that will stick to the basic hours.
- Save up: One of the fears of taking a gamble is money, so what could help is saving up as much money as possible, enough that will allow you to have some time off to write. This again is more for the ones with no responsibilities. However, if you can take an unpaid sabbatical and save up enough to cover those months then that's something you can do.
- Make the most of your time: I made this point in the learning to juggle post, but it is important that you use your time better. Get up an hour earlier, write while travelling to work, switch off the TV and get some work done. I found that I waste a lot of time in the morning when I could actually start work earlier and then have time to write.
- Work from home: This isn't always possible, but if you have a career that you could possibly go freelance with, or if you don't mind working remotely then this will save you plenty of time. You won't have to get up so early to travel to work, so at the end of your workday you won't feel so tired, and will be willing to spend that hour or two on your writing.
So there you have it, 5 possible solutions, they might not help and you might find yourself again at that same crossroads, but for now it's a solution that I plan on trying, and hopefully it will help me get that novel finished (I should actually say started).
On a final note for those who have attempted the NaNoWriMo hopefully you have reached your 50,000 if not you are still a lot closer to that finished novel.
All that's left for me to say is, go follow that yellow brick road and hopefully you'll meet your goal at the end.

Acropora palmata is an important indicator species of barrier reefs in the tropical Atlantic. Fire coral are also abundant in the Bahamas.
Artificial Reefs
A relatively simple solution to a potentially substantial problem, artificial reefs (ARs) provide means for local communities as well as large countries around the world to take action immediately when coral reef damage or loss occurs. Coral reefs are declining rapidly, due to ̉destructive fishing and pollution (top two),Ó as well as ship groundings, natural disasters, ocean acidity and much more (Calvert, 1995). The creation and installation can provide temporary habitats for fish, substrate or surface to mobile polyps and protection from further damage to existing corals reefs. As politics and legislation often take time to enact and solutions are slow to be created, non-governmental organizations and scientists can readily use ARs. As important as taking the initiative to install ARs, the site selection, management techniques, choice of materials, and the consideration of existing ecology of the marine environment is very important.
So, why are coral reefs important in the first place? Coral reefs are an intricately woven ecosystem that accommodates the greatest diversity of life in the ocean. They provide habitats for organisms, nurseries to young, cleaning stations for fish, storm protection for people living on the coast, and more. Without coral reefs many of the fish/mollusks eaten in restaurants would no longer be available (oceanworld.tamu.edu). The already devastating damage of hurricanes and tropical storms could be worse if it were not for coral reefs that break up waves and strong currents. Coral reefs are also important in controlling the carbon in the upper water column, which is particularly important as atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, increases.
̉Ten percent of the world's reefs have been completely destroyed. In the Philippines, where coral reef destruction is the worst, over 70% have been destroyed and only 5% can be said to be in good condition.Ó - oceanworld.tamu.edu The number is now closer to 20%+ as stated by, Dr. Joanie Kleypas of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
In our group project our hypothesis states that, ̉the more structurally complex a reef is, the greater the species diversity will be. It will also become established at a faster rate than a simpler reef.Ó As stated by Calvert, 1995, ̉It is important when constructing the (artificial) reef to provide as much diversity (complexity) of habitat as possible, as this encourages the greatest diversity of species.Ó Diversity is important as a coral reef system as it can be an indictor of overall reef health. Greater diversity equals greater health.
To start, the site selected for AR construction should orientated such that it is across the current, or perpendicular to the current flow (Calvert, 1995). CalvertƠs reason for this orientation is simple. The orientation provides a barrier from the current that protects smaller, younger species as well as providing nutrient upwelling as the current stirs sediment from the sea floor when passing over the AR. The greater number of crevices in addition to their varying sizes provides fish and other organisms, protection from the elements and predators alike. Crevices also provide places for fish and mollusks to lay their eggs.
To also help determine the placement of ARs, the relative mean height in which they extend from the sea floor is also important. Mean height refers to the average water column depth between high and low tides. The rule according to Calvert, 1995, is approximately, ̉one-third of the water depth.Ó Calvert continues to explain that predatory fish can more easily locate higher ARs and in turn greater biodiversity can be attained. The idea is to mimic previously existing or currently imperiled coral reef ecosystems, where ARs can be constructed in a ̉knownÓ area of coral habitat. An AR would most likely not be placed in areas where coral reefs never existed in the first place. An example of good placement would be in an area where a recent ship grounding decimated parts of an existing coral reef.
So an extremely important factor in deciding AR placement is what caused the coral reef damage or stress in the first place. If the area in question is suffering from poor water quality efforts the start placement determination efforts might more productively be spent on planting mangroves or removing point-source contaminants. In some instances, rebuilding supporting habitats, conditions or ecosystems could be the first place. Another example would be a rapid increase of the Crown-of-thorns starfish that in great numbers, could literally digest an entire coral reef if not kept in balance. The balance to this threat is to ensure predatory fish to the starfish are healthy in numbers.
The placement of the ARs can often be selected by talking to local fisherman. Fishermen are usually intimately familiar with areas of fish productivity, average water depth, reef structure and in many cases where old reefs once existed. The use of such knowledge can serve dual purposes, 1) local communities have a control in reef construction and 2) a vested interest in managing the ARs as they grow.
Management techniques by local communities further ensures the success of the ARs. If not for the simple reason that the ARs success could mean better survival of the people as more fish begin to inhabit the area. Historically in most conservation efforts, it is the local peopleƠs support that strengthens conservation success potential. Such as, Costa Rican support of sea turtle conservation instead of eating the sea turtle and the turtlesƠ eggs. The reef in the same analogy must be looked after with steward programs, because dynamite fishing of cyanide fishing practices could wipe out all intended benefits of AR construction. In addition, inherent in the involvement of the local community for management purposes, the investment of educating the community is extremely important.
Techniques used to manage constructed ARs can be fish counts and surveys, formal bottom surveys, water quality analysis and monitoring, beach profile measurements, photo documentation of coral growth rates, participation on specific scientific studies, angler counts, stability monitoring, GPS coordinate verifications, and documenting events such as coral or fish spawns. Examples of organizations that perform some or all of these functions around the world are, Reef Check and the Reef Environmental Education Foundation.
The selection of materials is almost as open as oneƠs creativity. The main considerations for materials are, potential toxicity of material in the water or as it breaks down, potential to collapse with time or a weak infrastructure, and understanding, what if any other negative consequences could occur; for instance using oil drums that pollute the water and they rust quickly in the marine environment. Materials historically used include: coconut stumps, old tires, old ships (wooden is no longer legal to use in some instances), steel modules, concrete modules, well rings, granite boulders, bottles and almost anything else found locally. To attain the height suggestions mentioned previously, concrete and/or metal poles can be used or even floats or buoys tied to the AR structure. This myriad of choices makes artificial reef construction easier for economically developing areas of the world and often times can turn garbage into environmental conservation.
Once in place, ARs can have coral larvae settle or colonize the surface of the artificial material. Also popular to quickly establishing reef building coral is transplantation of fragments of the coral for propagation. Transplantation refers to the removal of a fragment (piece, such as a branch of Acropora) from an existing coral structure and moving to an AR surface whereby the fragment is cemented in place to grow, or propagate. When selecting fragments the coral to be transplanted should live in similar conditions to the area where it will be moved. The conditions include, water depth, light intensity, water movement of current, water quality, water turbidity and dietary requirements.
One such system developed in 1988 by Aharon Miroz (Head Curator of Coral World International) takes into consideration many of the important factors as mentioned and he lists the benefits of transplantation as follows:
1. Control in coral fragment placement while maintaining mutual relations between genii and species of corals in order to avoid predation and competition.
2. Construction of a coral reef at any depth of an area of the ocean (in which coral normally live).
3. Immediate population by coral dwellers.
4. The reef is constructed in time for the juvenile fish and invertebrates of that season to find accessible and inviting habitat.
5. Construction of an already colorful and attractive reef.
6. Opportunity for multi-annual follow-up of each coral.
7. The time-saving factor allows within a short period the construction of an almost natural and complete coral reef.
Corals grow relatively slow in human terms, from >1mm/yr to 20cm/yr (Downtown Aquarium Seminar, Denver, Colorado). So, fragment transplantation can speed up the AR colonization and success by many tens of years.
The consideration of existing ecology is often a difficult task. In the book, Ecological Engineering and Ecosystem Restoration, by William J. Mitsch and Sven Erik Jr¿gensen there are two approaches to Ecology: a Reductionistic Approach and a Holistic Approach. The Reductionistic Approach looks at relationships one at a time and then pieces them together to form an idea of the entire ecosystem. The Holistic Approach takes into account the entire ecosystem and tries to understand relationships on many levels. Reductionistic Approaches are commonly found in scientific articles, such as phosphate availability and resulting algal blooms. The missing component to this view is the often the answer to as why phosphate may, or may not, be available (for example). The challenge of exploring ecosystem questions with the Reductionistic Approach is that organismal behavior and many of factors can not be adequately considered (Mitsch and Jr¿gensen, 2004). This is where the Holistic Approach becomes the most valuable tool.
The Holistic Approach transcends the challenge of relating simple organismal relationship experiments on laboratory levels to whole ecosystem(s). In a study by Ahn and Mitsch, 2002, showed that when comparing a wetland ecosystem 10,000 m2 to a wetland mesocosm, 1 m2, ̉mesocosms, with their simple structure compared to full-scale ecosystems, was able to replicate some functions fairly accurately but that rates of biogeochemical were quite different at different scales.Ó An important point made by, Mitsch and Jr¿gensen, 2004, was that organisms function differently in relation to other organisms and other environments when studied; such as a laboratory and in isolation.
This Holistic Approach translates to understanding as much as we can about the surrounding, existing and/or past ecosystem as a whole. If ARs are created, but over fishing keystone species to the area continues the coral reef community may continue to suffer. If the human influences hindering coral growth, such as anchoring on the reef, are not remedied, destruction will continue. Allen, 1988 states it beautifully when talking about assessing the entire ecosystems when he stated, ̉Everything is linked to everything,Ó and ̉The whole (ecosystem) is greater than the sum of the parts.Ó His discussion begins with these two ideas that, as I try and interpret, the Reductionistic Approach is useful when looking at some ecosystem specifics, but can only be valuable when also considered in conjunction with the Holistic Approach. Since there are hierarchies of ecosystem diversity, macro and microscopic, all considerations are hard to attain. The hope is that enough consideration to the ecosystem components yields a positive result in creating ARs to restore the coral reef.
In the book, Coral Reef: Restoration Handbook, edited by William F. Precht there are many approaches to restoring a coral reef, but the goal of ARs are to:
1) Mitigate for reefs damaged by anthropogenic activity
2) Alter currents
3) Restrain rubble
4) Restore habitat by providing substrate and refuge for fish, coral and other reef organisms
5) Conserve biodiversity
6) Provide aesthetically pleasing structure(s) for tourism
And, ̉The goal of an artificial reef installation that concentrates on restoring corals is to establish a stable, waver-resistant, fixed substrate that provides refuge, where corals can recruit and/or be transplanted. The refuge provided by such an artificial reef enhances fish and invertebrate communities.Ó
In Florida, ̉The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Division of Marine Fisheries, Bureau of Marine Fisheries Management administers a state artificial reef program that was legislatively created under s. 370.25 Florida Statutes in 1982.Ó
As chosen by this Commission, the goals are:
1) Enhance private recreational and charter fishing and diving opportunities
2) Provide a socio-economic benefit to local coastal communities
3) Increase reef fish habitat
4) Reduce user conflicts
5) Facilitate reef related research; and,
6) While accomplishing objectives 1-5, do no harm to fishery resources, Essential Fish Habitat (EFH), or human health.
As summarized by the, Reef Ball Volunteer Services Division, there are ten basic steps for restoring coral reef functions by way of ARs:
1) Protection and Conservation: Sometimes, reefs just need to be left alone to recover from human impacts. Designating and protecting al reef as a marine protected area can have restorative effects. There are a host of governmental and non-governmental organizations actively working to conserve coral reefs...support them.
2) Restoration of Water Quality: Water quality has been deteriorating worldwide and is one of the main causes of decline of function in coral reef ecosystems. There are a wide range of activities from stopping point sources of pollution to providing habitat for filter feeders that can be used to improve water quality near coral reefs. The first step is to identify water quality issues, then work to bring back, as closely as possible, water quality to its natural state.
3) Active Management: Reefs can recover more fully and faster when they are actively managed. This may require decisions such as installation of mooring buoys, fishing regulations, enforcement of environmental laws, etc.
4) Restoration of Habitat Complexity: In the case of coral reefs that have been destroyed by storms, ship groundings or other loss of complex hard substrate, designed artificial reef modules can be used both to provide a suitable base for the hard corals to recruit onto for natural recovery and to provide habitat for fish and other life that need habitat complexity for survival. Advanced designed artificial reefs can incorporate a variety of special features such as larval recruitment aids for fish or lobster, fish spawning pinnacles, special surface textures to enhance coral settlement, and can be built in a variety of sizes, layout patterns, etc. to best mimic the reef that was lost.
5) Rescue of Imperiled Corals. In some cases, it is possible to predict the death of coral colonies or other marine life such as in the case of impending construction or other known threats. These corals can be transplanted to a safe area, or they can be propagated into many more new colonies. Usually in coral rescues it is advisable to propagate enough individual fragments from each colony so that if a coral is lost in transportation or replanting then the genetics of the colony can still be retained from propagates.
6) Recovery of Interconnected Systems: In many cases, coral reefs can loose function because adjacent habitat which is interconnected with the reef is lost or damaged. Mangrove systems (and in particular Red Mangroves) provide an interconnected "nursery" grounds for many coral reef species. Therefore, they can be replanted in areas where they have been lost or in areas suitable for reef health. Sea grasses are also often threatened near reefs and have similar interconnections with reefs.
7) Propagation and Planting Corals: In some cases, corals need to be re-planted to have a recovery. There may be reasons why coral larval are unable to settle in an area or the speed at which recovery takes place may not be fast enough by natural growth to recover the coral reef system. The Reef Ball Foundation has developed a special team of volunteer experts that can train local volunteers to propagate and plant corals with a high level of success (usually 80-100% survival of fragments with 100% survival of coral colony genetics). The methods used are less expensive and less labor intensive than previously used methods. For example, over 10,000 coral colonies were propagated and transplanted in a 14 day period using 15 volunteers in our most recent project.
8)Monitoring & Education: Reefs can recover better when people are educated about the importance of reefs and when people have good facts to be able to make better management decisions. There are a large variety of monitoring and educational programs that can aid the recovery reef systems. Active monitoring programs can, for example, find and treat coral diseases or alert managers to new threats.
9) Engage the Scientists: Scientists are constantly studying new methods and techniques to aid our coral reef systems. In working with scientists, we can advance our knowledge and understanding of how reef systems function to aid in their recovery.
10) Take Action: Even though we can't fully restore coral reefs, we can't just give up efforts either...coral reefs are worth protecting and they are worth the efforts to help them recover. If you know of a reef that has been damaged or will be damaged, let us know....there are many ways we can work together to save them.
Our group project attempted to demonstrate the seemingly already known fact, that AR complexity leads to more organism diversity. It is my opinion that site selection dictated the rate in which habitation occurred, and time, or not enough of it, was our only limiting factor in provided the statistical data to support our hypothesis.
We created 9 ARs of three different complexities; simple, medium and high. The three reefs were placed approximately 44 meters off shore in a mean depth of 1.5 meters perpendicular to the shoreline and current. The created ARs were placed starting 5 meters from an existing, large AR structure, and placed 5 meters from one another starting from simple, medium, complex, simple, medium, complex, simple, medium and lastly complex.
The simple complexity AR materials include:
- Rock
- 1 Glass Bottle
- 1 Milk Crate
- 7 Conch Shells
The medium complexity AR materials include:
- Rock
- 2 Glass Bottles
- 1 Milk Crate
- 7 Conch Shells
The high complexity AR materials include:
- 2 Large Rocks
- 10 Glass Bottles
- 1 Milk Crate
- 6 Conch Shells
- 1 Tire
- 13 Coconuts, 6 tied together and tied to the crate to float suspended and 7 inside the tire
- String
The species identified were:
- French Goat
- Cottonwick
- Fairy Basslet
- Slippery Dick
- Banded Butterfly
- Wrasse
- Goat Fish
- Sea Urchin
- Four-eye Butterfly Fish
- Pygmy Seabass
- Squirrelfish
The presented findings of our group showed that there was not statistically relevant data when calculated by the JMP software. The graphical display does however show trends of increasing diversity and habitation rates over the 5-day time period. The first AR to be inhabited was the one closest to the existing AR of simple complexity. Our choice of materials could not have been better. Site placement and time were our biggest challenges.
Sources of error included in our group presentation are but a few of the considerations easily remedied by simple research into AR design and planning. The fact that there are many things that we did correctly, although maybe by scientific instinct, such as accurate current placement, selection of materials and even management (short-term) strategies, shows our ability to formulate and execute a successful AR program in a matter of days.
In conclusion, the complications of ARs are inherent in that it is constructed to replace, temporary, natural ecosystems. The benefits of the ARs need work, planning and good management. The exact same things can be said about natural coral reefs, but the general public either does not understand the benefits and/or takes the incredible benefits and marine life for granted. Manage of coral reefs will need greater and greater attention and resources in the year to come and I hope that our government will aid the people working to preserve an endangered environment.

I've been having problems to generate a translated manual. After much trying, I think I've found the proper way to do it.
It is fine to follow the instructions defined here, but the build steps should be the ones I describe below
1) Start from scratch. From the root of the manual git repository do
make clean
1.5) Note: with the options described here, the locales are not deleted.
To forcibly delete them, remove the locale folder from the source folder, like this:
rm -Rf source/locale
2)Generate the pot files
make gettext
3) update .tx/config file. I place the locale sources into the source dir because else, make html doesn't see them.
sphinx-intl update-txconfig-resources --config source/conf.py --pot-dir build/locale --locale-dir source/locale --transifex-project-name mixxxdj-manual
The file that generates is erroneous. I don't know why.
Concretely, the header of each document should be like:
instead of
You might also need to delete some entries, if they are not in transifex. Else, a "Exception Found" message appears
Right now, such cases are the todolist and the manual_guidelines
4) Get the language files from internet. Replace language_to_download by the appropiate locale, like de, ja, fr, ca..
tx pull -l language_to_download
5) Generate the .mo files corresponding to the locales.
sphinx-intl --pot-dir build/locale --locale-dir source/locale build
6) Generate the html documentation. Replace language_to_build by the appropiate locale, like de, ja, fr, ca..
make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='language_to_build'" html
6.5) If you are executing this from Windows, the last one doesn't work (the make.bat file is not properly made to accept parameters). So, on Windows do this instead:
set SPHINXOPTS="-D language='language_to_build'"
make html
Hope the main instructions can be corrected and help others that would want to translate it too.

Astros get Lugo's brother in deal for Ward
Associated Press
HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros traded outfielder Daryle Ward to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, clearing room for Craig Biggio to move from second base to center field.
Ward, a 27-year-old left-hander who has failed to live up to his power-hitting potential, was traded for right-handed minor-league pitcher Ruddy Lugo.
Ward hit .276 last season for the Astros, with just 12 home runs and 72 RBI. He also had limited fielding range, but the Dodgers praised his versatility.
``I'm disappointed that we're not going to see him reach his full potential in an Astros uniform,'' Houston general manager Gerry Hunsicker said. ``He is still a young player with great talent, and I hope this opportunity will be positive for his career. We certainly wish him well.''
Biggio is changing positions to make way for free agent second baseman Jeff Kent, who signed an $18.2 million, two-year contract with Houston last month after turning down a three-year deal from the San Francisco Giants.
The 6-foor-2, 240-pound Ward recently avoided arbitration by signing a one-year, $1.35 million contract. The son of former major leaguer Gary Ward moved quickly through the club's farm system and made a strong debut in 2000 by hitting 20 homers in just 264 at-bats.
``He adds much depth to both our bench and outfield,'' Dodgers general manager Dan Evans said in a statement. ``He can play either corner of the outfield and first base and his presence gives us another power threat from the left side of the plate.''
His numbers fell off in a reserve role the following year, but he was promoted to the starting lineup for 2002 when Moises Alou signed with the Chicago Cubs.
Ward said he was surprised by the trade, and he didn't think his play was a problem in Houston.
``I don't think anything went wrong,'' he told KRIV-TV in Houston on Saturday. ``I just think the organization has plans and I just wasn't a part of that anymore.''
Hunsicker said the trade was made primarily to reduce payroll and ease the ``logjam'' in the outfield. He said the team is looking to make some more payroll trims before spring training.
``Ever since the Kent signing, we've expanded our budget and I've had to get that under control,'' Hunsicker said.
The Astros, who have said they are at their salary limit, have begun discussions with Biggio over a contract extension.
By acquiring Lugo, the brother of Astros shortstop Julio Lugo, Houston hopes to replenish some of the minor-league pitching depth they've lost in recent years through promotions of several young arms to the big leagues.
Ruddy Lugo, 22, was a combined 10-3 with a 2.89 ERA at Class A Vero Beach and Class AA Jacksonville last year. He was a third-round selection of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1999 draft and was traded to Los Angeles along with outfielder Marquis Grissom in exchange for outfielder Devon White last February.
Hunsicker said Ruddy Lugo probably will start at Class AA Round Rock this year.
Ward came to Houston in December 1996 as part of a massive trade with Detroit, which sent Ward, Brad Ausmus, Jose Lima, Trever Miller and C.J. Nitkowski to the Astros in exchange for Doug Brocail, Brian Hunter, Todd Jones and Orlando Miller.

I know exactly where it is. I work in midtown. Thanks for the info! Hope there's a nice turn -out!
Are any of the presentations going to be broadcast or recorded? I would like to see the recordings if so!
How do I find out about this event sooner next year (hoping you do it again). It would be a great thing for me and/or my husband to attend for our church.
Awesome! Wish I could go but I've got four other trips planned for the rest of the year. My hubby retires this week! A lot is happening! Perhaps the next one! In the meantime, I'll keep reading and learning and perhaps I'll even apply for a Happiness Engineer position soon! I've been thinking about that since January!
🙂 This sounds great! But I would love one of these conferences in Germany oder Austria. Any chance this will happen some time?
Thanks and enjoy the meeting in NY 🙂
Sounds like fun!! But, since I'm just finding out about it now, maybe next year. Thanks for the broadcast link!
Wow I wish I'd known about this sooner. Sounds interesting. I was going to be in NY for another even this week but changed my mind. Maybe next time. However I will try to connect on Twitter.
I wish i could be there among all the other crazy bloggers……being new to blogging is even more thrilling.
Some day I will be going! It would be great to meet other bloggers in person and get advise on becoming a better blogger! Maybe next year!
Have fun! I wish I could swing by the Happiness Lounge or attend a mini-workshop, but it's not in the cards for me this year. Maybe next year?!
Just that the spirit is willing but the pockets are not…. ! Best of everything for the conference!!!!
wawu! big occasion indeed, but is too near for me to start preparation for the trip maybe next time. But I will miss you guys…
I'm bummed to miss this! Can't wait to catch up on it with twitter. Happy Weekend!
Hello, Michelle! Who can I talk to about advertising opportunities with WordPress? I am with Rakuten Affiliate Network. We were at BlogHer, but I didn't get a chance to stop by and speak with your digital marketing/advertising person.

Stantonbury - 30.12.2003
I like Rhiannon's example of walking from Bath to Stantonbury. In reality I visited it as an afterthought after visiting Stanton Drew.
You can park in a small layby on the west side of the hill (approx ST668639), just on the south side of the notoriously dangerous bend in the A39 between Corston and Marksbury. There doesn't seem to be any better places to park on this side of the hill, however I think the best (and less muddy!) approach to the hill is on the North East side from approx ST679640.
From this layby you could probably nip up the edge of the field and be in the wood in a jiffy but it isn't officially a footpath. The actual footpath is 300m around the corner of the road and is marked on the north side of the road by a small 'footpath' sign. Luckily there is a pavement (of various descriptions) along the road between the layby and the footpath.
The footpath goes straight across a field (very, very heavy clay mud in December!) and into the woods. The bottom of the footpath to the top then isn't that obvious and isn't the right-angled affair the OS map suggests - look for the uprooted tree. Then there are several 'footpath' signs on the way up, and Wansdyke can usually be seen on your right.
The top is relatively flat and scrubby, with abandoned farm equipment. The ramparts aren't obvious in most places but can be seen when looking down off the hill. Bits of the west side have a steep slope; otherwise it's relatively gentle. An entrance seems to partly survive on the north east corner. There are lots of pheasants around; the first of which I disturbed almost gave me a heart attack! Like Rhiannon, I found there wasn't much of a view on a misty day, but on a good day I imagine the view would be stunning and I'd love to come back one day.

"The group will begin now," said Dr. Page, his face worn beyond its years. "Please take your seats, and phones off."
Jason was busy Instagramming his new Chuck Taylors, while Katelynn sat sideways, by the window, attempting to photograph herself in a ray of sunlight, looking shyly away.
"Phones away, please," he insisted, with the air of exhaustion they've detected countless times, "Let's get started."
Katelynn sighed, unable to capture such a perfect moment, stomped over to the center of the room, and took a seat. Jason shrugged and slid his phone into his shirt pocket. His lean frame lay limp over his cold metal chair.
"And how was everyone's week?" Dr. Page began.
Amanda sat cross-legged on her chair. She looked up at the group slowly and said, "I found more pictures."
"Go on," said Dr. Page.
"There were tons of them," she managed softly, tugging at the hem of her jeans. "They were in some slideshow," she said with disdain, "and I was in my underwear, drinking milk, laying on the dog." She looked down and sobbed quietly. "The comments all said how adorable I was. There were at least ten of them. Ten. Who needs ten pictures of a little girl, in her underwear, drinking milk?"
"That bitch!" Jason shouted. "That unimaginable bitch!"
"Now, now, Jason," Dr. Page interrupted. "Remember our respectful words."
"It's just that -" Jason began, then trailed off. He wiped his hand across his forehead and looked away.
"Jason?" Dr. Page prodded.
"What? What, Dr. Page? What is it? What do you want?" Jason hissed.
"Is there something you wanted to share, Jason?" Dr. Page offered.
"Is there something you wanted to share, Jason?" he mocked.
The crushing weight of silence strangled the room. Dr. Page allowed Jason to collect himself before continuing. Katelynn stared longingly at the sunny side of the room, the windows, the Ficus, framing a shot with her fingers.
"Well?" Dr. Page urged. "Is there something you need to get off your chest?"
"Yes, there is," Jason's cheeks filled with blood. "I read a post today, about the lisp I had when I was three."
"Yes, Jason?"
"And there were only thirty-two comments. I mean, did she not love me enough to promote my post further? My sister's post? The one I mentioned last week? About the diaper accident? One-hundred-seventy-four. And it was picked up by the Huffington Post. Was my lisp not good enough? Was I not good enough?"
"And, you know," he continued, venom in his voice, "her Twitter handle was Wine Drinkin' Mama. And I'll tell you what. Never, did I ever, and I mean EVER, see a bottle of wine in that house. She played favorites and she was a liar. A goddamned liar!" Beads of sweat hung precariously on his forehead.
Stephanie sat up in her chair. Her slender silhouette gently supported a thick mane of silky dark brown hair. "You know what, Jason? Mine, too."
"I found a few tweets from my sixth birthday," she continued. "We had gone to the zoo. She told us that it was the Best Day Ever and that she was very happy we were able to enjoy it together. And? On Twitter? She said, and I quote, 'Somebody stab me in the face. These $*%&ing kids wore out my patience before we even left the house. #sendwine #motherhoodsucks'. Motherhood sucks, Jason."
The group sat silently.
James, a chubby college student with an unruly mop of blond curls, cleared his throat. "My mom? Shamed me. Put signs on both me and the puppy, and shamed us. 'Goes to the bathroom on the rug' it said. And, to this day, she only refers to me as DS1. My name is James. It's James, dammit!"
James stood up and banged his metal chair on the floor loudly.
"My name is James," he said quietly, turned towards the door, and walked out.
Just then, the sun began to set. Dr. Page, knowing the implications, attempted to head over to the row of windows quickly and quietly to close the shades.
The squeaking shades jarred each member of the group immediately out of his contemplation. Their heads whipped around almost mechanically.
"Sunset," Katelynn said, with the dispassion of a zombie.
"Sunset," Jason said, clearing the tears from his eyes.
Not a moment later, the entire group was leaning over a cabinet of shelves, pointing their phones westward.
Dr. Page knew he had lost them.
"Next week, then. Same time, same place," he stated, resigned.
No one was listening.
He threw his coat over his shoulder and walked out.

An Android Awakes
Author Advent 12: Jon Haylett
"The best book of 2009, for me, was "Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire" (pub Sept 2008), a book which largely deals with the relationship between Louis and Edwina Mountbatten, and their friend Jawaharlal Nehru. The author, Alex von Tunzelmann, having researched her subjects and the dizzyingly complex background with rare insight, writes with sympathy and skill. Like so much good non-fiction, the story reads like an incredible novel. It's a tale of incompetence and missed opportunities on an international scale, but a very touching romance at a personal level. I also enjoyed it because it deals with my favourite subject, the British Empire, the history of which the British will, at some point, rediscover, learn from, and be proud of."

It's been over 7 wonderful years but on the 1st Nov 2014 it all came to an end for The View From Here.
Thank you to everyone that was part of it - we had fun, we laughed, we tore our hair out, we did a heck of a load of stuff!
We will keep everything on-line as an archive.
After the 1st November any communication with us is likely to met with silence - as we will all be in cold storage.

5 unique and wonderful winter days out in Hertfordshire
PUBLISHED: 12:17 25 November 2015 | UPDATED: 17:14 25 November 2015
Here is our guide to 5 unique winter days out in Hertfordshire so wrap up warm and explore.
St. Alban's Cathedral, St. Albans
Being the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain, St. Alban's grand cathedral has plenty of interesting history which you can find out on a free guided tour. When the weather is cold, this inspiring architecture will provide a welcome sanctuary. With a café, Christmas events over the festive period, and talks and study days to participate in, there is plenty to do at this cathedral, built on the burial site of St. Alban who died 1,700 years ago. www.stalbanscathedral.org
The Natural History Museum, Tring
Walter Rothschild's zoological collection remains one of the largest private collections in the world. Part of the Natural History Museum since Rothschild's death in 1937, this collection is open to the public and is housed in the beautiful Victorian museum in Tring. Take your time perusing the glass cabinets of wonders from around the world. www.nhm.ac.uk
Rye Meads Nature Reserve
Wrap up warm, pack a flask of something hot and head down to Rye Meads wetland nature reserve beside the River Lee. You can go exploring, bird watching, or just find a spot and watch nature living around you. You can enjoy guided wildlife watches, art afternoons for the children, Christmas pond dipping and much more. www.rspb.org.uk
Watford Palace Theatre
What could be better on a winter evening than snuggling into your seat at the theatre watching a live drama, opera or film? With all of these and more on offer, Watford Palace Theatre with its elegant interiors and wide selection of entertainment will be a charming night out. watfordpalacetheatre.co.uk
Verulamium Park and Museum, St. Albans
With over 100 acres to explore, this park has an ornamental lake with a heronry and other water birds, more nature areas with trees and meadows, and a café to warm up in. On the site there is the Verulamium Museum which has hundreds of interesting Roman objects that date back to the time when the Verulamium park was a Roman town. All with a beautiful view of the cathedral and abbey church, this will prove to be both a fascinating and relaxing day out this winter. www.stalbansmuseums.org.uk

One day after being named the new White House spokesman, former Fox News pundit Tony Snow announced that a deal merging Fox News and the Bush White House had been successfully completed.
"The merger between Fox News and the White House can be summed up in one word: synergy," Snow said. "The two entities have been working in lockstep for five years now and this merger is a formal acknowledgment of that fact."
While many Beltway observers had long assumed that a merger between the White House and Fox News was inevitable, not until reporters saw workmen hanging a "Fair and Balanced" sign from the White House portico this morning did they know a deal had finally been struck.
According to those familiar with the deal, the final sticking point in the negotiations was ironed out late last night when President George W. Bush agreed to report to Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch.
Moments after the merger was announced, Snow introduced the latest member of the Bush Cabinet, Secretary of Defense Bill O'Reilly.
In his first official act as defense secretary, O'Reilly called CNN "a gathering threat" and added the cable news network to the Axis of Evil.

World Bulletin/News Desk
The war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic will resume on Monday after doctors determined that he is well enough to appear in court, a spokeswoman for the tribunal said on Friday.
Mladic, who is accused of genocide over the siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo and the 1995 killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica, was rushed to a Dutch hospital on Thursday, the fourth day of his war crimes trial, after asking for a break and slumping with his head in his hands.
"Ratko Mladic has returned to the Detention Unit after medical examinations confirmed there were no abnormalities in his health status and that no treatment is required," Nerma Jelacic, spokeswoman for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said in a statement.
"The previous determination that Mladic is fit to stand trial therefore remains unchanged."
The 70-year-old former general was arrested in Serbia last year after 16 years on the run.
He has frequently claimed he is too ill to stand trial: he complains that he suffers from the effects of a stroke and has problems with his teeth, and he has been admitted to hospital with pneumonia.
Prosecutors and relatives of victims fear that he could die without facing justice, as happened with former Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic, who died in a Dutch prison cell in 2006 while on trial.Last Mod: 14 Temmuz 2012, 12:44
