The state has lost its bid to purchase a $1.2 million conservation easement to protect a remote plantation of sugar maples in Somerset County.
The 23,600-acre project, known as Big Six, was competing with two-dozen other funding requests from the Land for Maine's Future program. But on Thursday, the LMF board scratched it from the list of finalists.
Of the two dozen projects scored by the board Thursday, Big Six scored dead last. The LMF board refused to give the project additional points previously awarded to only four other LMF projects. Without those extra points, Big Six fell to the bottom of the pack.
"The key to recognizing the maple sugarbush that's there was tied up in the point category of the single exceptional value. And we missed those points," said J.T. Horn with the Trust for Public Land, a co-applicant for the Big Six easement along with the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
The push to approve the Big Six project has focused on the timberland's maple syrup production, which is said to account for roughly 20 percent of the state's total output. But in May, an examination by Maine Public found that most of the syrup produced there is never sold in Maine, but to out-of-state wholesalers who turn around and market it as a product of the U.S.
Also, the maple syrup operation is done exclusively by Canadian producers who have have easy access to the property, and in some instances have harvested sap there for generations.
Subsidizing Canadian syrup production was a problem for several LMF board members. So was the fact that accessing Big Six typically requires two border crossings and using a network of logging roads in Maine's North Woods, all of them are private, with no legal guarantee that the public can use them.
"Keep in mind the size of the investment — $1.25 million — and we do not have legal access to that property," said LMF board member Fred Bucklin, who questioned whether taxpayers should buy an easement with no guarantee of public access. "I can imagine how this would play to people looking at this from the outside. 'You paid $1.25 million for a piece for property you can't even get to? It doesn't make sense to me.'"
LMF director Sara Demers said such limited access could be precendent-setting for an LMF project.
Supporters of the project have said Big Six could be a model for future conservation deals that involve maple syrup production. But Big Six has drawn attention for reasons other than its syrup production.
It's the one project supported by Gov. Paul LePage, who has called the LMF program "corrupt." The landowner, Madison businessman Paul Fortin, has donated to the governor's election campaigns and a political action committee he controls.
Fortin also said he'll likely cut the sugarbush and sell it as timber if he doesn't get the easement. Some critics have questioned why he would cut the trees when he's making money leasing taps to the Canadian producers.
William Jarvis, a forest manager from Jackman who works with other landowners with maple syrup operations in the area, says the trees, with all the holes from the taps, have little value except for maple syrup.
"The value of the wood is not that great. In 6-8 years he's generating enough off the leases to cover all of the wood if he cut it down and sold it," he said.
Fortin and the Trust for Public Lands successfully convinced the federal Forest Legacy Program to pay for a $3.5 million easement for the property. But that money was contingent on the $1.2 million from LMF.
The LMF board announced the other projects that did qualify for funding, but the specific dollar amounts won't be disclosed until next week.
This report appears as part of a media partnership with Maine Public.

How does a Group work?
Groups are the one area that offers the biggest difference between Motivis Learning Community and the out-of-the-box Salesforce Communities. Motivis Learning Community provides a Group Manager Feed, Group Events and Group Activity Metrics. Users can easily see how many members are in the group and how many have joined over the last week or month. Statistics on the total number of posts, new posts for the week and month are also readily available.
Motivis Learning Community provides Group owners and managers with their own feed, a Manager Feed, within their Group that is private from the Group Feed. With out-of-the-box Communities, a manager would have to create a Group then create a second private Group just for the Managers/Leaders. This enhancement has been needed as part of Chatter for years and Motivis Learning Community solves the problem all Communities users have faced.
Finding a Group
To access the Groups page, click on Groups link on the Menu bar.
There are three tabs on the Groups page:
- All Groups tab - Click this tab to display a list of all groups that are available for you to join. There are 3 types of groups:
- Public: anyone can join a public group
- Private and Discoverable - you must request to join the group. Owners and Managers of the Group accept or deny your request.
- Private and Undiscoverable - these groups will not come up on the All Groups page or by searching. You must be invited to join the group by either the Group Owner or a Manager.
- My Groups tab - Click this tab to display a list of all groups that you are a member of.
- Recommended Groups tab - Click this tab to display a list of all groups that have been recommended to you based upon your interests.

|Scene Title
|Mr Brockovich Pt 2
|A murder at the theatre of Dionysus!
The Theatre of Dionysus is a stately and beautiful landmark, a remnant of ancient drama at the foot of the Acropolis. While it's technically closed this evening, Gene managed to talk his way past the guards, the camera bouncing against his chest lightly as he walks down the racked stone tiers of the dish-shaped theatre to appreciate the ancient ruins. Hey, he can be as much of a tourist as anyone else.
And be a tourist he is! There's not much going on, at least initially. It's near closing time for the sight and he's been left to his own devices for now. Minerva has to properly show her appreciation for being saved afterall.
And so, everything is all quiet, until there's a high pitched scream! There was supposed to be a show this evening, Medea. But behind the curtains there'sa woman who shrieks in horror with blood on her hands..
Whoa. Gene's head jerks up, his eyes widening at the scream, and then he's moving - leaping from one tier of steps to the other in a blur of speed and motion, finally bounding up onto the stage. Faster than a speeding bullet! Well, maybe not quite that fast.
The woman is visibly shaken. She's the actress for Medea and she trembles a little as she falls to her knees sobbing. She sobs and just cries terribly..
"Hey, hey…" Gene steps over beside the woman, reaching out a hand to her shoulder, his voice gentle, "… what's wrong, miss? Is everything all— " He pauses, then switches to his pidgit greek, which he's been working on since arrival. He's smart, he picks things up fast. Plus, Rosetta Stone! "<Are you all right?>"
"Jason…someone killed him!" she says looking back towards the curtains where there's blood pooling out from the door. This is all in Greek of course and she wipes the blood off her dress.
At least they're pretty simple words, so Gene can follow along. "Shit," he says, in unmistakable English, stepping away from her and heading for the curtains — brushing them aside, he reaches for the door. A pause, and he drops a hand to his gun, before pulling it open.
And there lays the body of the actor with curly brown hair. There's a knife sticking out of his back as it seems the police have already been called considering the manager of the show is backstage as well, raising a brow as she spies Gene entering.
"Huh. Someone is dead," Gene observes mildly, considering the body before looking up to the manager - a quick smile's flashed, and he pulls the press pass out, flashing it and noting in Greece, "Press. What happened?"
"I know that.." the young woman says as she's dressed in sexy librarian chic, her hair tied up in a bun as she gets off her cellphone. "Gina was too scared to call the police so that's what I did. I have no idea..i was about to arrive when I see her running out screaming and there's a knife in his back.." she says with a bit of annoyance in her tone.
"You don't look terribly shocked," notes Gene, pulling out his camera to take a picture of the body. Then he lifts it to take a picture of the woman, adding after hitting the flash, "And you are?"
"Reverie Gerasimos.." the young woman says peering towards Gene as she extends her hand out towards him and she shakes her head once more. "Let'ssee..Iwas shocked the first time our Jason was killed. I was shocked even the second, third and fourth times. Fifth time? Well..not so shocked anymore."
"Gene Horkos." A step over, and Gene reaches out to clasp the offered hand. He arches a brow, "…a cursed play? Now there's a cliche for you."
"I know, right? That's why I'm not all that surprised. We have four Medeas in lockup and all of them proclaim their innocense. This was the understudy from the one before..and now she's sobbing like a madwoman.." Reverie replies with a bit of annoyance before she shrugs her shoulders once more. "But that's acting for you..everyone's a bitch."
"You're a terribly callous woman. I think I'd like you to be my first ex-wife, you could play the part excellently," Gene observes, taking another picture of the scene and looking around, "Anyone else here but you thre… two?"
"I don't think so..the show wasnt going to happen for another hour.." reverie replies, raising her brows as she looks Gene over and snickers softly and grins wryly. "Well, I'm originally from LA, so I play callous quite well."
"Ah, that explains it," Gene chuckles, shifting to English and flashing over a grin, "New York City." He looks about backstage, asking, "Mind if I take a look around?"
"Go ahead…though don't touch anything. Normally I'd tell you to keep away from a crime scene, but well, you know..it's the fifth it's happened in three months.." she grumps, most definitely annoyed as she starts to head off.
"I'll cover it for a paper," replies the journalist easily, "Cops are used to running us off." That said, he crouches down beside the body to examine the knife, though not to touch it.
This is something he probably already knows. Who killed Jason? Images will flash before his eyes as he touches the knife. The sobbing woman, Medea..she killed Jason, in bloody passion before running out screaming.
Of course..this just happens to be the knife that was used to kill the previous four Jasons as well…
"So why didn't the police pick it up?" It's a rhetorical question, as Gene looks up with a frown, gaze sweeping over the stage. Hm. Someone's doing this, and he doubts it's the murderesses themselves… for now, he pushes up to his feet, heading out to see if 'Medea' is still there.
Medea is still sobbing outside though blood has been removed from her hands. Perhaps she washed her hands while Gene went and investigated the scene. And there she is speaking with the policemen who arrived on scene as she's confessing. "He..we were dating and he found someone else..I…I had to..I'm sorry.." she sas, sobbing the entire time as she's brought away from the scene..
"Same ol' story…" Gene's lips purse as he watches her drawn away, his head shaking ever so slightly as he looks back over the theatre, "Well. It's a theatre, alright, but I think someone's running a different kind of play here… interesting."
The theatre itself seems normal. It's a large amphitheater type and it's been around forever. The 'backstage' setup is the only thing new added, and there's just grass growing around….people are being ushered off by the stagemanager as she sighs and shakes her head once more..
"So," asks Gene, strolling along over to the manager, "Reverie… when did all of this start, anyway? When you started producing the play here?" A glance over the stage, "And did all of them have their 'Jason' cheat on them?"
"No, the play has been happening for as long as I can remember. It's interspersed with other tragedies like Oedipus, Antigone and all those.." Reverie says with a soft sigh as she runs her fingers through her hair while looking towards him, clearly frustrated. "And as far as I could tell, this Jason and that Medea were the first to have an off stage romance.."
"So the murders only started during this particular stint?" Gene's brow furrows a bit as he looks over the theatre, musing, "Has… anything changed from the last time the play went on?"
"As far as I know, not really. I mean we always do the offering to the gods before the play starts, you know..wine for Bacchus. But this time, since the economy and all, I said not to do it.." she says matter of factly, wrinkling her nose as she stretches her arms out into the air.
"That explains it…" Gene's fingers squeeze the bridge of his nose, "…okay. What's the traditional offering, just… any sort of wine, or is there some specifics to it?"
"A drunken orgy. Sex on the stage. That was the traditional offering.." Reverie replies as she shakes her head and facepalms a bit as she oyes at the thought of it all.
"But..wine is what the people have been doing the past couple hundred years or so, and we just didnt get the specific consecrated wine. I got wine in a box.." she admits ruefully, raising her brows. "Why do you ask?"
"Aren't you superstitious?" Gene's brows both lift at Reverie, and he grins a touch, "You don't fuck with the gods, Reverie… not in a place named after them, and not in Greece. They're a jealous and violent bunch. Just look over there…" He looks to the spatter of blood on the stage, "…if you doubt it."
"Superstitious? We're in the twenty first century. Gods are oldhat.." Reverie says matter of factly as she quirks a brow as she peers towards Gene once more.
"…you've had five murders," Gene notes dubiously, one brow arching at her, "All in the same way, in the same place, because of an improper sacrifice. You really think that's a coincidence?" He flashes her a smile, head shaking, "Look, I'll go get some consecrated wine, and we'll hold the sacrifice to apologize. I'll get some extra. What can it hurt?"
"And all five Medeas have confessed.." Reverie emphasizes as she shakes her head as she hrmms and crosses her arms over her chest. "I have to find better actors..who arent psychopaths.." she grumps.
"Right." Gene smirks, quoting, "Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad… look, I'll buy the consecrated wine myself. Seriously, can it hurt anything? It's not as if I'm suggesting we try out the orgy idea."
It had crossed his mind.
Hey, it slipped her mind as well. She looks towards Gene for a few moments and sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "If it'll get rid of themurders, hell..I'll even do the orgy..it's not like you're not good looking anyway.." she says with a dismissive wave.
"Make a guy feel good, why don't you…?" A grin from the journalist, and then he looks out and over the theatre, "Alright, where do you usually get the wine from? I'm sure there's a temple of Dionysus somewhere in this city… probably still has a few priests…"
"And there in lies the issue. The former stage manager made the wine.." Reverie says matter of factly, sighing once more as she shakes her head and just seems frustrated with everything..
"Did they quit," Gene asks, slanting a look over with a brow's lift, "Or die?"
Reverie just blinks blankly for a few moments as she stares at the journalist for a bit as she shakes her head and seems taken aback. "Neither..retired."
"Oh." Gene's brows twitch upwards, "So… do you have their phone number? Address? I can stop over tomorrow, see about getting some from her. Him? Whichever."
"I know somewhere at the isle of Santorini. He wanted to go elsewhere understandably.." Reverie replies as she sighs once more and takes a deep breath, sighing as she looks up towards the night sky.
"Why understandably…? Did something happen?" Gene reaches out, a hand sliding to her shoulder reassuringly; a brief squeeze, and he flashes her an easy smile. "Relax. Trust me… I'm pretty sure this'll take care of it. I'll go check out the island… what's his name?"
"Mercouri Gerasimos..he's my grandfather.." Reverie admits ruefully, smiling once more as she runs her fingers through her hair as her shoulder is squeezed. "His name was tarnished in the theater…slept with and fooled around with one of the actresses.."
"A proper priest of Dionysus, then." Gene exhales a low chuckle to that, his hand sliding down her arm and away, "I'll look him up, then. Just don't cast another Jason yet, eh?"
"I was going to cancel the shows for a bit…this many murders..I think I might go to Oedipus Rex or Antigone.." Reverie muses as she hrmms and wrinkles her nose for a few moments as she looks towards Gene with a warm smile as her features soften a little. "Thanks..you're being a great help, and well..I really don't know why. Why are you helping?" she asks curiously.
At the question, Gene offers her an easy, honest smile; one shoulder lifting in a bit of a shrug. "Well, there's bodies on the floor, you're a lovely maiden in distress… maybe it's just some chivalrous instinct. Or maybe it's because of what was left in the bottom of Pandora's Box, after my siblings fled." A wink, "I'll see you soon, babe."
Any additional notes fall to the bottom.

Delores Park, San Francisco (detail)
Pier 39, San Francisco
For the past year artist Jenny Odell (previously) has worked in the medium of Google Maps imagery to create stunning prints of cut-out ships, sports stadiums, advertising billboards, swimming pools and other meticulously assembled collections of satellite imagery minutiae. Lately she's focused on people, specifically locations around San Francisco where they congregate en masse, their ant-like figures filling beaches and public parks. Odell erases all other details of the photos leaving behind only the human footprint. Head on over to her blog to see the images in better detail. (thnx, megan!)

There were so many wonderful suggestions, but I absolutely feel madly in love with Brittany Johnson's pattern name suggestion.
Thank you so much Brittany Johnson for your "Cheesy", but Fabulous Name Suggestion:
The "Happily Ever After" Collection.
Officially, it will be called: "Happily Ever After" Crochet Pattern for Fashion Dolls.
Brittany, you will be receiving a free copy of this pattern as soon as it is ready.
Just need to finish a few more dresses for the cover photo before I can release it.
There are 20 necklines you can combine with the 10 silhouettes and their minor variations. Plus, you can even incorporate beads to each of these!
This leaves you with thousands of possibilities to discover...
1) Capped-Sleeve High-Low with Train (plum) - I have revised the original high-low with train that I did in white, so that the pattern for it could be even more like the other variations in the collection.
2) Jewel Flowy Mermaid (yellow) - This is the final mermaid variation I had left to do.
3) Illusion Trumpet with Train (red) - This is just like the first trumpet variation I showed in a prior update. Only this one has a train.
4) Halter Flowy Trumpet (pink) - I am finishing the last trumpet variation today. It will be like this one, but with a train.

Sorry for disappearing for a while there, but I've been in Norfolk! My best friend from university recently moved back to her parents' 16th century farmhouse in a tiny hamlet on the outskirts of Norwich, and missing her dreadfully, I decided to jump in my car and go and drive up to stay for a few days. As you know, there's nothing I love better than exploring the British countryside, and Norfolk certainly has much to offer on that front. It's a largely rural county, and known for being remarkably flat. This is because much of the land is marshy and can't be built on, which gives the dual benefit of uninterrupted, stunning views across the landscape and a real atmosphere of timelessness. Looking across the fields and marshes, with the tall towers of flint churches and the wooden sails of old windmills occasionally rising from the swaying corn, you can well imagine that what you can see is the same as what someone standing in the same position one hundred, two hundred, even three hundred years ago would have seen. It's quite a spine tingling experience.
My first stop was Norwich, which was a hugely important medieval city, second only to London, and is today the bustling county town of Norfolk. Thankfully it escaped bombing during the war, and as such is probably amongst the best preserved of our ancient cities. It has particular significance for me, as my granddad grew up there and his family lived in Norwich for generations. I have wanted to see the city of my ancestors for years, and I wasn't disappointed by what I found. There are streets and streets of higgledy-piggedly beamed and flint cottages, some painted in lovely pastel shades; over thirty beautiful churches, many dating back to the Medieval period; a 900 year old cathedral and an 800 year old castle dominating the skyline; a stunningly beautiful Art Nouveau shopping arcade and some fantastic Art Deco municipal buildings. There are also plenty of modern atrocities, but these blend into the background of what is an absolutely gorgeous city with a wealth of independent industries and a lovely, warm atmosphere. I so enjoyed my visit, even though it was a bit of a whistlestop tour, and for anyone who wants a city break that gives a slice of the 'real' England, I couldn't recommend Norwich enough.
After a wander around Norwich, I met my friend at her office, and we drove through lots of lovely countryside to get to her parents' amazing (non working) farm, which has been in the family for nearly 200 years. It really is in the middle of nowhere, and the peace and quiet was startling. She took me straight for a walk in the wood next to the house (named after her!), where there are some air raid shelters left behind from when this area was used as an RAF camp; we crept inside one and it really gave me the shivers – I'd hate to have been stuck down there for hours on end, listening to the drones of planes overhead. After lots of food and sleep, the next day we headed off to the nearby medieval market town of Wymondham (pronounced Wind-um), which is very pretty and has an impressive half ruined Abbey surrounded by open fields, with sheep wandering amongst the gravestones! The streets are filled with gorgeous chocolate box cottages and lovely little shops – including the most eccentric second hand bookshop I have ever seen, which operates out of the owner's front room! In the centre is a 17th century market cross, which was used to mark the site of a market in medieval times. It still operates as a focal point for the town, though mainly seems to be used by teenagers to congregate rather than for a market, unfortunately!
After we had looked round Wymondham, we headed off to Holkham on the North Norfolk coast. Holkham Beach is apparently the most beautiful beach in the UK, and was where the final scene of Shakespeare in Love was filmed. Unfortunately it was pouring down when we arrived, but that didn't stop us from running into the sea and enjoying the stunning views of the soft sand, waving heather and grassy sand dunes. It really is an impressive beach, but I think it would probably be slightly more impressive in sunshine. Soggy and sandy, we squelched off to the the little estate village by the entrance to Holkham Hall, (the owners of which also own the beach as well as much of the surrounding area) which has a delicious cafe where we warmed up with tea and chocolate cake. Unfortunately we had left it too late in the day to visit the Hall – maybe on another trip.
The next day, the sun came out just long enough for us to risk another attempt at the seaside; this time to Winterton on Sea, which is on the East Norfolk coast. This is a much more dramatic coastline than the calmer, sandier North Norfolk coast, and the beach here was breathtakingly beautiful. We enjoyed sandwiches and cake from the truly excellent beach cafe, sat and chatted on the sand dunes, and had a paddle in the sea before the heavens opened and we had to run back to the car. Winterton is part of the Norfolk Broads; flat marshland criss-crossed by a canal network, and we were keen to take a look at the nearest canal once the sun came back out. Just down the road from the beach is Horsey Windpump, an old wind pump now owned by the National Trust on the bank of a pretty canal. We climbed to the top, gasped at the impressive, far flung views across the marshland, and then had a lovely walk along the canal, peeking in at the boats moored on the bank. It really is a beautiful part of the world and again, completely timeless. Just as we were going back to the car, I spotted a church tower in the distance. Old churches have amazing graveyards; I can't resist a graveyard, so we swung by the church to take a look. It turned out to be a unique example of a thatched Saxon church, set amidst a peaceful dell of ancient trees. Inside there was the most unusual piece of stained glass I have ever seen; a portrait of the woman it commemorated, dressed in Victorian garb. It reminded me of the stained glass portraits I saw in Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, and it was quite touching to think of her beauty continuing to illuminate the church where she once worshipped.
It was a busy few days, with much to take in and to enjoy; I absolutely loved my trip and was once again amazed at how diverse and fascinating our tiny little island is. Norfolk is such a lovely county with so much history and a gorgeous coastline; I know I'll be back again soon. On my way home, I took a detour through Suffolk and went to beautiful Aldeburgh; but that was so eventful that it deserves a post all of its own – coming soon!

text: Humor Urban Legends The Origin of the Word 'Dork' No, the word has nothing to do with whale anatomy Share PINTEREST Email Print Cameron Spencer/Getty Images Urban Legends Rumors & Hoaxes Urban Legends in the News Classic & Historic Legends Animal Folklore Scary Stories By David Emery David Emery is an internet folklore expert, and debunker of urban legends, hoaxes, and popular misconceptions. He currently writes for Snopes.com. our editorial process David Emery Updated September 16, 2018 Thousands of viral posts claim that the word "dork" is derived from a part of the whale's reproductive anatomy. These posts, however, are inaccurate. There is no shortage of documents online discussing the finer points of whale reproduction and cetacean sexual anatomy, yet not one of them makes use of the word "dork." You won't find it in "Moby-Dick," either, nor in any historical accounts of the whaling industries in North America, Japan, or the rest of the world. Dorky Origins Though its precise origins remain somewhat obscure, the word "dork" has a far more mundane history. Etymologists generally agree that "dork"—typically defined as a stupid, foolish, or inept person—has only been in common usage since the 1960s. The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, for example, defines the term as "a socially inept, unfashionable, harmless person." The dictionary says the word used as such originated in 1964. Even the ultimate authority on English word origins, the Oxford English Dictionary, makes no mention of whales in explaining the history of the word "dork." The word may have some sexual connotations, but they have nothing to do with whales. The earliest known use of the word in print occurs in the 1961 novel "Valhalla" by Jere Peacock, in which one character says to another, "You satisfy many women with that dorque?" It's clear from the context that "dorque" refers to the male sexual organ, but the reference pertains to humans, not whales. A Derivative of 'Dirk' The Online Etymology Dictionary says that the word "dork" is likely derived from the word "dirk," a spelling variant that goes back centuries: dirk (n.): c. 1600, perhaps from Dirk, the proper name, which was used in Scandinavian for "a picklock." But the earliest spellings were dork, durk (Samuel Johnson, 1755, seems to be responsible for the modern spelling), and the earliest association is with Highlanders, however there seems to be no such word in Gaelic, where the proper name is biodag. Another candidate is German dolch "dagger." The masculine given name is a variant of Derrick, ultimately from the Germanic compound in Dietrich. Johnson was a famous British writer who wrote one of the earliest, funniest, and most influential English-language dictionaries. As modern lexicographer Robert Burchfield has observed: "In the whole tradition of English language and literature the only dictionary compiled by a writer of the first rank is that of Dr. Johnson." Such high praise would certainly seem to make Johnson an expert on the matter. Whale Experts Weigh In Several whale experts—Professor C. Scott Baker of the Oregon State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife; John Calambokidis, senior research biologist and cofounder of Cascadia Research; Phillip Clapham of the National Marine Mammal Laboratory; and Richard Ellis, author of "The Book of Whales"—said that they had never seen nor heard the word "dork" used in reference to a whale's reproductive anatomy. Like "Moby Dick," the purported origins of "dork" may be a bit of a fish tale; experts concur that the word has no relation to the sea mammal's anatomy.

Economy of the Netherlands – Overview
The Netherlands is the ninth largest export economy in the world, exporting $435 billion of goods each year. This means it has a positive trade balance of $42.8 billion after deducting annual imports of $393 billion.
Over the last few years, the country has suffered a fall in export sales at an annualized rate of 5.986% with export values falling from $510 billion to $435 billion during that period.
According to World Bank figures, the Netherlands has a GDP of $770.8 billion, which equates to a GDP per capita of $45,294.78.
Despite only having 17 million inhabitants, the Netherlands is ranked as the 18th largest economy in the world.

More About the Netherlands' Commodities
Refined Petroleum
Refined petroleum accounts for 7.8% of the Netherlands' total annual exports, and the country is ranked as the fourth largest exporter with an 8.3% share of an annual global export market worth $412 billion.
There are five main oil refineries in the Netherlands, with major oil companies such as BP, ExxonMobil, Shell and Total, all having a stake in at least one of them. These refineries are geographically positioned for optimizing inland demand while serving export markets equally efficiently.
Scrap Iron
The Netherlands is the fourth largest exporter of scrap iron and enjoys a 9.3% share of an annual export market worth $22.8 billion.
Turkey and Finland are key export destinations for the Netherlands' scrap iron exports, and the USA and China account for only 6% of its annual exports of this product.
Only Mexico (26%) exports more tomatoes than the Netherlands (22%) and when you include Spain (13%), these three countries account for 61% of the $8.06 billion annual export market.
The Netherlands has committed to sustainable agriculture, which means tomato growers are among the farmers in the country who have managed to work toward the goal of producing twice as much food while using half as many resources.
This means they have almost eliminated the need for chemical pesticides and have reduced water dependence by as much as 90% in some cases.
The Netherlands has a 4.6% share of the annual $37.2 billion raw aluminum market and it is the sixth largest exporter in the world.
Germany is the biggest export destination for the Netherlands' raw aluminum exports and they take 55% of the Dutch annual export total of $1.71 billion.
The Netherlands is home to one of the primary aluminum smelting operations in the world, which is based in Delfzijl.
The Netherlands is responsible for a very small percentage of the annual gold export total of $288 billion, a market which is dominated by Switzerland with a 28% market share, compared to the Netherlands 0.42%.
Germany has an almost exclusive arrangement with the Netherlands when it comes to gold exports, as it is the destination for 94% of its annual shipments of the precious metal.
Interesting Facts About The Netherlands
- About 80% of the world's flower bulbs originate from the Netherlands
- The country is the most densely populated in Europe with 17 million people squeezed into 41,500 square kilometers
- There are estimated to be more bicycles in the country than people
- About 60% of the land is dedicated to agriculture and horticulture
All figures based on OEC/IMF 2016 projections unless otherwise stated.

This guide was created for educators, school support staff and service providers who teach, mentor and help open the doors of opportunity for undocumented youth and unaccompanied and refugee children currently living in the United States. Educators, school support staff and service providers are often the first individuals a student and/or family comes out to as undocumented. Moreover, they are often the first ones to witness the impact of increased enforcement measures on students and their families. It's critically important that educators, school support staff and service providers know the tools and resources available to help protect and prepare youth and families for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid. http://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/im_uac-educators-guide_2016.pdf

Public Hearing Heartburn
Arkansas Contemplates Further Dicamba Regulations
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (DTN) -- Eyes are on the Arkansas State Plant Board (ASPB) on Nov. 8 as they publically deliberate a measure that would severely limit the use of dicamba herbicides in row-crop production in 2018. The public hearing was moved to a hotel venue in anticipation of the need to facilitate the crowd expected to testify on the proposal to establish an April 15 cutoff date for the controversial herbicide.
During October, public comments flooded into the state agency on both sides of the dicamba issue. A group of about 300 farmers signed a petition to oppose the ban, but they offered an alternate May 25 cutoff date and other application concessions. Other farmers support the proposed Arkansas ban on dicamba from April 16 to Oct. 31, citing losses in non-tolerant crops from off-target movement of the spray.
Add recent moves by Monsanto to the dicamba drama. Last week the St. Louis-based company asked that a member of the state Plant Board be disqualified from participating in the Nov. 8 public hearing. In a letter to ASPB, the company alleged Terry Fuller, who represents the Arkansas Seed Growers Association on the board, solicited public support for the cutoff date and thereby showed bias.
In September, Monsanto filed a petition criticizing several weed scientists, the ASPB and a special Arkansas governor-appointed dicamba task force. The company also leveled demands with regard to use of dicamba in the state. The Plant Board subsequently rejected those demands at a Sept. 21 public hearing. In October, Monsanto sued the ASPB, alleging it had violated state law regarding dicamba decisions.
Monsanto is the developer of the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Crop System, which allows cotton and soybeans to tolerate dicamba applications. The technology has been licensed to other seed companies. Monsanto, BASF and DowDuPont sell dicamba herbicides specifically designed to be used with the Xtend cropping systems.
While the actions being considered are specific to the state of Arkansas, many other states are watching. The U.S. Environmental Protection (EPA) Agency recently made label changes to dicamba products for 2018 as a result of the number of injury complaints filed in 2017. Last week EPA officials said there were 2,708 injury cases across the United States covering 3.6 million acres. However, the agency also admitted that may underestimate the problem.
The state of Arkansas had 985 dicamba-related damage complaints, which prompted an emergency ban on dicamba spraying in mid-July and the establishment of the special task force to come up with suggestions for the coming season.
Only BASF's dicamba herbicide, Engenia, was labeled for in-crop use in Arkansas this year. The ASPB refused to allow the use of Monsanto's XtendiMax herbicide because Monsanto did not allow the weed scientists to do volatility tests on the product.
Monsanto's dicamba-tolerant soybeans were planted on about half of the Arkansas' 3 million soybean acres. Monsanto has said it expects Xtend soybeans to be planted on at least 55 million acres of soybeans next year.
The April 15 cutoff date is being contemplated by the state in an effort to address worries about volatility. Studies by weed scientists at several universities have indicated the new dicamba formulations can still volatilize or move following application as a gas. Monsanto and BASF have consistently said their new, low-volatility formulations are not to blame for the symptoms seen in sensitive plants this year. Instead, they put the blame on applicators, tank contamination and lack of education.
The proposal before the ASPB applies to herbicides for agricultural use that contain dicamba. The regulations include exemptions for the use of dicamba in pastures, rangeland, turf, ornamental, direct injection for forestry and home use. The approved regulations are closely aligned with the recommendations from the Dicamba Task Force and the Plant Board's Pesticide Committee.
The final proposed rule to come from the Nov. 8 hearing will be forwarded to the Executive Subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council for final rule approval.
The ASPB also held an earlier public hearing to consider changes that increased the maximum civil penalty from $1,000 to $25,000 for egregious violations from applications of dicamba or an Auxin containing herbicide, or any new herbicide technology released after Aug. 1, 2017. No public comments were received and the regulation has been sent to the Executive Subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council for final rule approval.

Ability to run a powershell script **once** before and/or after the deployment
Sometimes you need to run a script notify other systems before or after a deployment, such as monitoring systems load-balancers etc. (currently we ping NewRelic when we deploy).
To do this in the current powershell script model you have to be creative by somehow running the script on one of the tentacles. Though there are several ways of doing this they all lead to annoying management issues since you essentially have to choose a tantacle to run the script on. One issue could be that if the tentacle is decommissioned the script stops running (without warning). It would be nice if it were simpler to do this.
So I'm basically asking you to make it easier to run a script once before and/or after the deployment, without having to figure out where to run the script. Maybe it could be run on the octopus server, or maybe octopus could automatically choose an arbitrary tentacle to run the script.
Workers were designed to solve this scenario: https://octopus.com/docs/infrastructure/workers

Chris McKenzie commented
Our scenario is:
1. We use a service account on the Octopus Server that is essentially neutered. It can't do much beyond communicate with Tentacle Instances.
2. Tentacle Service Accounts are constrained to doing what they need to in their own environments. I.E., environments have their own tentacle service accounts.
Given these criteria I may need to place a file in a specific network location, or run a SQL script. I only want this to happen once but the Octopus Server will not have rights to do either of these things as it doesn't operate "in the environment."
The need is for one of the deployment agents to handle this but for it to only happen once (avoiding things like database deadlocks).
Wenzel, Toni commented
My scenario:
1.- 200+ Octopus projects
2.- Each of those projects has a update DB step configured to run on "database-updater" target role.
3.- Production environment has 5 targets with the "database-updater" role.
My requirements:
1.- For each project, the updated DB step needs to run once on one target only.
2.- When many projects are deploying at the same time, I want the work to be distributed among the 5 targets (so if I deploy 100 projects at the same time, each "database-updater" target would run 20 projects' update DB step).
At the moment this is only possibly by creating multiple roles "database-updater1" etc and assign those roles fix to the projects.
Please provide an option to define either a target or a role act like a queue.
Ben Aves commented
+1, We have automated UI tests that need only be run once per deployment across N physical machines.
Chris McKenzie commented
The use case for us is that we have octopus packages that contain msi's to be deployed to several workstations. We also need to copy the msi's to a network share. We routinely get failed deployments due to multiple tentacles attempting to copy the msi to the network share even though we check for the existence of the file first. Ideally, we'd be able to specify that a step should only run on one of the available tentacles. I can see how this would be useful for database migrators or other "do once and forget" jobs.
Chris Camburn commented
My specific use case is to not just run something once, but to have it run on one tentacle from a pool of tentacles. We have a handful of server-intensive processes that can be run from any server, but must only be run once. What we'd like to do is have a handful of tentacles with the same role, and each deployment would select one tentacle with that role and run the steps. That allows us to do something similar to TeamCity build agents, and offload the work on the first available tentacle.
Silas Hansen commented
In the "Run on" section of a step setup, it would be great to have a dropdown with two choices:
"Run on all matching tentacles" (default)
"Run on first matching tentacle"
If mores specific usecases should pop up later, you can add them to this dropdown successively. Maybe something like "Run on random matching tentacle".
Andrew Armstrong commented
The problem with an "octopus" role is that if that machine is offline then the step (I assume) does not run, and makes it a little bit more complicated to reason about than a step that is just "We run this only once (on whatever tentacle is chosen at random during deployment)".
Brannon Jones commented
We are running a tentacle on the Octopus server to do this. The downside is that you must add the "octopus" tentacle to each environment, which seems weird. It would be nice if you could just have a "global" step that runs implicitly inside the Octopus server, without requiring an explicit tentacle.
Patrik Potocki commented
I would also need this for New Relic deployment notifications
Tom Cabanski commented
New Relic is my use case too.
Andrew McClenaghan commented
There could be a few options for this. Once per deployment for this exact case which could be ran on the Octopus Server itself. Though there is another option once per role where a script might get ran once on a database server or once on a web server. Ideally both options would be great as sometimes your Octopus server can only talk to the tentacles via 10933 and not via SQL or file shares.
Andrew Armstrong commented
+1 to this, I want to script schema migrations to take place by running a script only once
racingcow commented
I am doing the exact same thing with New Relic notifications and alas, my PowerShell script runs once for each machine in the environment to which I deploy. If my web farm has three machines in it, this results in New Relic being notified of three deployments instead of one.
As such, I'd also love for some way to run a script once for the entire deployment.

This female rugby player is tougher than you'll ever be
There's playing rugby, and then there's breaking your nose and still taking two players to the ground.
Australia-born Lindenwood University rugby player Georgia Page has become an Internet sensation after displaying an epic amount of toughness at a Rugby Sevens game against Notre Dame University last week.
After having her nose broken during play, Page managed to get back on her feet, tackle another player and even clear out the ruck like it was no big deal.
— Georgia Page (@geo_page) June 6, 2015
Hey @BroBible guys you'll enjoy this one, the Rugby War Goddess is taking the internet by storm: https://t.co/0gxgNwmp23
— USA Sevens Rugby (@USASevensRugby) June 5, 2015
Since dubbed the "war goddess" online, Page took the opportunity to point out it was lucky anyone could see her feat at all — the Collegiate Rugby Championship "Sevens" women's games were not televised live, she wrote on Twitter, while the men's were.
#HERRUGBYCOUNTS https://t.co/gOPqMcz4UZ 100% behind this articleMany of you have seen my video on the Internet when it could've been live TV
— Georgia Page (@geo_page) June 7, 2015
It's disappointing to know that even when women's rugby has a player as badass as Page, the sport still doesn't get treated with the respect it deserves.
Don't they know the Khaleesi expects better?

'Come on Alex, Final Departure!' Seth's voice came jumbled through the thicket.
'Be right there Seth,' returned Alex, pulling down the visor of his helmet and slamming it shut, taking a last long look at the planet he called home. The moment he and Seth had trained years for was finally upon them. The first men to step on to another planet, the new frontier of human exploration, XR019. They would be heroes here and they would be aliens there. He took a long deep breath through the assisted airway of the helmet and stepped off the platform, the adrenaline of reality finally beginning to course his veins.
'All systems checked, ready for departure captain.' Seth relayed followed by the scheerk of the intercom.
Captain Alex Montgomery took his seat at the head of the cockpit and fastened himself in, 'Ready for liftoff Lieutenant.'
The men paused a moment and looked at each other, raising a fist before their faces. A symbol of solidarity, something only they understood between them. It said this is it friend. We're in this together, let's bring it home!
A sound like the earth itself was imploded roared through them as the rocket engines burst in to life and everything around them shook like a chandelier riding the waves of the San Andreas fault. The men finally retracted their hands and clung on for their lives as their ship propelled them toward the unknown.
The journey took only a few hours but when finally the ship hit XR019's atmosphere, it lit up the turquoise sky in a shower of brilliant yellow. Creatures never seen before far below, looked on in awe and fear as their sky seemed to be ripped apart.
The landing was rough and when the craft eventually ground to a halt, they looked at each other with a shared expression of concern but also joy. They had made it yes but would the ship be able to carry them home or would they be trapped here until rescue could finally arrive?
The captain clawed at his harness and ripped himself free. 'Lieutenant, see if you can get that door open, I want a full eval and status report as quick as you can.'
Seth, already free of his seat nodded to his captain and headed for the cabin door. Alex tried to contact mission control but was met only by static and clicking. No use. He tried throwing switches here and there. Lights lit up and went out, the console danced a brilliant dance but gave him nothing more.
'Sir,' Seth called from behind, 'We've taken some damage to the rear of the ship. The hull has not been breached but comms are down.' He took a breath and continued, 'engines seem stable as far as I can tell but I'll know more when we get outside.'
Alex nodded, 'Thank you Lieutenant, let's see if we can't get out there then shall we?' The men smiled slowly at each other. The joy of discovery seeming to bubble up over the fear of being stranded millions of miles from home.
They raised their fists once more in silent communication and Alex added, 'Let's get this mission done old friend.' The mission being a recon. Life on earth had turned sour and the human race was looking for its new home. Their job on XR019 was basically to be Guinea Pigs. Test the atmosphere, look for signs of intelligent life however small and report home.
The airlock door between them hissed and a cloud of vapour shot around the edges. The door lifted free and the first light of XR019 hit them. Alex took a breath making sure his helmet was sealed and lead a first nervous step through the opening, his heavy boot crunching underfoot on the dense forest floor.
Outside their suits the air was close and full of moisture. The sounds of giant crickets and other alien insects rang through their helmets and for a moment it seemed like any other country walk back on Earth. Except it wasn't. The chirping was so loud and fierce, like nothing you could hear back home and the trees, the trees where a sight to behold. Each of them taller and wider than General Sherman, the largest tree on earth. The men simply stood a while, mouths agape with awe.
'Lieutenant, what do we know about the atmosphere?'
Seth was tapping away at small keyboard mounted to his left wrist. 'Air seems stable, Oxygen levels high. Simulation reports a 99.19% chance of human survival.'
No sooner had he finished, Alex reached under his helmet and pulled at the release mechanism.
'Sir, what if…' Seth began but Alex cut him off with a raised palm.
The face of his helmet lifted free and he breathed the rich air for the first time. It was satisfying and somehow sweet. The air in the suit was good but had a tendency to dry out the throat like an over air-conditioned gift store on international drive.
Adrenaline overcame him again as his rationale realised there was a 0.81% chance he had just breathed poison but as the air rushed in and out, the pounding in his temples gave way to euphoria.
'Come Seth, shall we embark on the greatest adventure in human history?' Alex said, holding his hand out toward the great unknown, leading the way beyond the trees.
Then, the chirping stopped and gave way to a voice, a voice so very…Human.
'Boys! Dinner's ready!'
The men, no longer men but boys looked at each other frowning. Alex took off his tinfoil and cola bottle helmet and discarded it inside their scrap-wood and cardboard space craft.
'Scheerk…Lieutenant come in. Adventure awaits…after Cheeseburgers!
The boys laughed and smiled and ran through the scrub land until they found the back gate of the Captain's house. The greatest discoveries of human history would have to wait until after dinner.

It's just another random Wednesday (sang to the tune of Manic Monday)
Surprisingly this day has gone by super fast for me! Hence, it is about 4:30pm and I am just now getting this up! Today is going to be very random, sorry! It is late in the day and well, this is how my brain works around this time!
Dear Self – Next time you need gas on the way home, stop! You DO NOT appreciate it the next morning. Like, ever!
I am so so so SO sick of the rain! OMG! James Spann says we may have snow tomorrow, and I will take it! I love snow! Anything but this rain!
Speaking of being sick of things, I am so over hearing about gun control. Looks like our rights are about non existent these days.
I have pinned about 1234 Weight Watchers recipes on my board this week. Looks like I have some grocery shopping to do!
Stopped by Victoria's Secret yesterday, and FYI their clearance bras are $15.99 and their clearance panties are $2.99. All of the pj's and other semi-annual sale stuff is an additional 50% off! I got a huge bag full of stuff for $44, so go check it out!
That is all I have for you today folks!

Hi Everyone,
I'm a 22 year old white male, 190 pounds, 6'3 and I've been struggling with symptoms that I feel are directly correlated to low testosterone. Now there has been a lot of been through while trying to find answers to my lack of zest for life, lack of productivity, sex drive, maintaining an erection etc.
I've tried a few anti-depressants, zoloft, cymbalta and wellbutrin, zoloft and wellbutrin made me feel completely terrible and suicidal but helped with erections? and cymbalta made me feel good and returned erections but I opted to stop due to weight gain, price and horror withdrawal stories. I'm only going to include my most recent lab since it's the shortest with most relevant information.
Prolactin 7.8
Estradiol 21
Testosterone 533
DHEA Sulfate 342.4
Cortisol 12.3
My Albumin and Globulin from a previous lab were 4.7 and 2.7 respectively.
My endocrinologist agreed that my symptoms were most likely due to low testosterone for someone my age and decided to start me on testosterone replacement therapy, 2 ml of 100g/ml compounded testosterone every morning that should move my level to the 600-700 range.
I've been on the therapy for a few weeks now and initially I did feel a huge burst of energy for like the first two days then a huge crash were my memory was terrible and started working out less and less cause I couldn't last as long cardio wise and I felt completely lethargic.
The negative side effects have improved quite a bit since then but I still can't run as much as I used to and I feel like i've gained weight despite maintaining a simiar diet (perhaps due to lack of ability to run). I called the pharmacist that compounds the testosterone and he said it's probably due to water retention making my hear work harder and that that would also be the reason for the weight gain.
Mentally however I do feel the effects of the testosterone, more assertive, hornier, focused, feel like an actual man.
I would really appreciate hearing your opinions and if you need any additional information I would be happy to provide it please ask. I"ve been struggling with this for a very long time and any advice would be helpful.
Best Regards,

The Lausanne discussion which is traveling to 12 cities made its stop in the city of Detroit on September 14, 2010 at the home church of Global Projects' founder and president, Dr. Sabrina Black. Not only as it well received and attended the attendees were blown away by the panelist and the discussion on how we can evangelize as well as raise the bar in the christian community to build bridges, bring hope and healing between the city and suburbs.
The host of this historic happening was Evangel Ministries located in Detroit. Pastor Christopher Brooks was the moderator and the church family was on point in all aspects to make the night a complete success. Because of the pastors' commitment to mission and spreading the gospel this was a great fit for the ministry. Kudos to the staff for seamlessly making the discussion flow so well.
Detroit who is known for music and cars will now be listed among the cities raising awareness about the Lausanne movement and reaching to the neighbors across Eight Mile to bring the Body of Christ in unity and harmony to fulfill the Great Commission of being disciples for Christ.
Panelist included Doug Birdsall Executive Chairman, Lausanne, Walter McCry, President National Black Evangelical Association, Rich Van Pelt, National Director of Ministry Relationships-Compassion Internationa, Donovan Case, President International Christian Ministries, Bob Shirock, Pastor Oakpointe Church along with Sabrina Black, Founder and President of Global Projects for Hope, Help and Healing. They were excellent answering questions from the audience and sharing how we as the Body of Christ must respond to global poverty, injustice, other faiths, HIV/Aids, partnerships, forming leaders and urban mission and unreached people groups. This is just a glimpse into what the 5500 delegates will engage in dialogue in South Africa. North American is represented by 400 delegates and among that 400 only 40 are African Americans. This monumental event will help to share the thinking of Christian leaders how to mobilize the global church to be more effective to respond to the challenges.
It is exciting to have Global Projectssitting at the table on the third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. This is a giant step into the next decade of how we will respond to the mission work we have been called to do. It will shape how we collaborate, partner and serve the hurting people globally.
We will continue to prepare men and women for ministry, we will continue to heed the cry of our fellowman who is devastated by traumatic happenings and we will do it with purpose, passion and compassion being the hands and feet of the Lord. Reminding them that God does see and cared enough to send us to share His love.
So pray for the delegates who represent pastors, teachers, ministry professionals, and visionaries. Especially lift up our founder, Dr. Sabrina Black and keep her in your prayers. She will serve Global Projects, the city of Detroit and North America well. When she returns we will share what she learned with you in one of our blogs.
God Bless you until next time.

Two-factor authentication provides another layer of security in addition to the password that you normally use to log in to the OVH US Manager. The password is static and is known as the "first factor" for authentication purposes.
OVHcloud offers two forms of authentication for the "second factor." First, you can pair any authentication app (i.e. Authy, Google Authenticator, LastPass, etc...) on a mobile device to your OVH US account. Second, you can pair a U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) key with your account and use it as your second form of authentication.
Note: There are some known issues with using a U2F key in the OVH US Manager with Mozilla Firefox, so we recommend that users wishing to pursue this option use a different browser.
- An authentication app or a U2F key
Enabling and Using Two-Factor Authentication
In this section, you will set up your account to use two-factor authentication and test it to make sure it works for you. First, log in to the OVH US Manager and click your name in the top-right of the page. Select My account from the drop-down menu.
From the left-hand sidebar, click Security and then click the Activate double authentication button. You should see a screen that looks like this:
Click the Next button and you will be prompted to use a mobile application or a security key.
Choose the method you would like to configure. If you chose to use a mobile authentication app, scan the QR code with the application you have chosen we recommend FreeOTP.
If you choose to use a security key, insert the key when prompted.
Regardless of which method you choose, you will be taken to a screen which will give you ten emergency codes. Make sure to save these codes in a secure location as they will be the only way to access the OVH US Manager should you lose access to the mobile authentication app or U2F key you have paired with the OVH US Manager. After you have saved the emergency codes, click the Confirm button to complete the process.
To test if two-factor authentication has been set up correctly, log out of the OVH US Manager completely and attempt to log back in. If, after entering your password, you are taken to a screen like the one below, you have successfully set up two-factor authentication.
Enter the code from your authenticator application or insert your key to complete your login.
Disabling Two-Factor Authentication
If you need to disable two-factor authentication on your account for any reason, you will need to contact OVHcloud Support via chat or ticket.
Two-factor authentication provides our customers with an extra layer of security on their accounts. Now that you know how to use it, we highly recommend you take advantage of this feature to protect all of your OVH US accounts.
