Cultural eutrophication of Lower Saint Regis Lake using diatoms and organic content as indicators of eutrophication.
Tue, 04/28/2020 - 12:06
Abstract: Cultural eutrophication can greatly affect water quality, leading to algae blooms and can affect fish communities. Throughout the history of Paul Smith's Hotel and College, development along Lower St. Regis lake has led to increases in eutrophic conditions, which has detrimental effects on water quality. In this study, a sediment core from Lower St. Regis Lake was analyzed to determine when past eutrophication events occurred. This was accomplished using species counts of diatoms from every 1.0 cm of sediment. The relative abundance of diatom species such as Tabellaria flocculosa, Asterionella formosa, and Fragilaria crotonensis were used as indicators of more eutrophic conditions. Loss on ignition (LOI) was also used to measure the organic content in the sediment at increments of 0.5 cm. The higher percent lost on ignition indicates higher productivity in the lake and more eutrophic conditions. Some samples from the sediment core were also dated using lead-210 to create a timeline that could be compared to known dates of events occurring along the lake that could have affected the trophic status of Lower St. Regis Lake. There was a sudden spike in the relative abundance of F. crotonensis and an increase in organic content at a depth of 20 cm in the core, indicating that conditions became more eutrophic. Based on the lead-210 dates, this spike in F. crotonensis and organic content occurred between 1898 and 1908, when development around the lake was increasing and Paul Smith's Hotel added indoor plumbing with poor wastewater treatment practices.

What Are the Differences in Trichome Density and Morphology Between Arabidopsis Lyrata Subsp. Lyrata Populations When Grown in A Northern Common Garden, Outside of Their Geographic Distribution?
Tue, 04/30/2019 - 15:23
Abstract: Trichomes are diverse among plants. There is evidence suggesting that environmental factors may influence these structures and their densities. Other evidence shows that weather may influence genetics and gene expression. Arabidopsis lyrata subsp. lyrata is a wild flower that is native to North America and Europe and has been extensively studied. Literature regarding Arabidopsis states that within the family and genus, there is evidence suggesting that trichomes can be either non-branched, twice branched or thrice branched. This study's purpose was to analyze how trichome density, and morphology in Arabidopsis lyrata subsp. lyrata differs between populations when grown outside of the natural distribution limit. Four populations of Arabidopsis lyrata subsp. lyrata were studied based on latitude. After analyzing the outcomes, unexpectedly there are no major differences between the north and south populations; however, there are differences between the four populations. Based on the data gathered, it was determined that the population, North2 (07G) must be genetically different from the other three populations. The four populations were grown together in a common garden; thus, all variables were the same. The environment did not influence trichome density or morphology within the North2 population, therefore the structures were genetically pre-determined.

Lower St. Regis Lake Survey: A Comparative Study of Fish Population Structure and Function over Time
Thu, 12/13/2018 - 14:24
Abstract: Lake surveys are performed on bodies of water to provide a health analysis of fish populations over time. Lake surveys can be conducted in a variety of ways to attain specific data. Lower St. Regis Lake was surveyed to determine the fish community composition and to understand fish population traits. Using fyke nets placed at six predetermined locations for 24 hours, as well as fishing, we collected data for age, length (mm), weight (g), and parasites present. Data was analyzed in the lab using Excel to form graphs and tables to demonstrate our findings. Catch rates were lower compared to years before and comparing our data to New York State Department of Conservation data found that our length-at-age data was lower for the six-species sampled. Pumpkinseed and yellow perch were the only two species to have over twenty fish sampled. Decreased air temperatures brought in by a cold front during the week of our sampling may have been a reason for our lower number of fish caught. Mesh size is also a bias while using these nets as smaller fish can escape, and predatory fish can prey on smaller fish while in the net. Some species of fish such as black crappie may be more susceptible to capture due to its habit of associating with structure.

Effects of Silvicultural Treatments on Wildlife Communities at the Paul Smith's College Forest Research Demonstration Areas
Fri, 05/11/2018 - 16:15
Abstract: Logging has drastically altered North American forest ecosystems for centuries. While extensive studies have been done to determine the impacts of different silvicultural practices on plant communities, minimal research has evaluated the impacts on wildlife communities, particularly in the Adirondack Mountains. Silvicultural practices may significantly impact wildlife communities due to the disturbances it causes, as well as the way it alters the habitat. We monitored winter wildlife communities in the Forest Ecosystem Research Demonstration Area owned by Paul Smith's College in the Northern Adirondack Park. By analyzing the data collected by trail cameras, tracks and measuring percent browse, we compared the abundance and diversity of wildlife in three silvicultural treatments (i.e., clearcut, group selection, control). We also collected data regarding the physical aspects of the silvicultural treatment plot (i.e. canopy cover and snow depth) to indicate the kind of available habitat. We found that despite there being the highest average relative activity in group selection, there is no significant relationship between average relative activity and harvest treatment type. Using the Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index, we found that the highest diversity was in control/reference. Due to our limited treatment sample size, we did not have conclusive findings in most areas of our study. However, the highest total tracks and relative activity were found in the clearcuts. We suggest that more research be done on this study in order to eventually make forest management plans that properly account for both plant and wildlife species.

A Comparison of Winter Wildlife Use of Minimally, Moderately and Highly Impacted Shorelines on Lower St. Regis Lake and Black Pond in the Adirondack Park, NY
Wed, 05/09/2018 - 10:51
Abstract: Continued development and human interference with freshwater shorelines creates a degraded environment and can negatively affect native wildlife along impacted areas. Throughout the Adirondack Park, shorelines have experienced substantial degradation with the development of lakeside summer homes. There tends to be a strong preference for the aesthetics that lakes offer, as well as the numerous recreational opportunities they provide. The increased human use of shorelines and the development of anthropogenic structures has directly resulted in the degradation of shorelines in the Adirondack Park. Likewise, the Paul Smith's College shoreline along Lower St. Regis Lake has been subjected to degradation throughout the history of the campus. This highly impacted site was selected, alongside minimally and moderately impacted sites in the surrounding areas as representatives for different impact levels. Shoreline degradation includes a decline in the health and presence of natural vegetation, creating a decrease in available food source for native wildlife. The removal of natural vegetation creates a decline in shoreline stability with the removal of root systems, allowing for greater amounts of erosion to occur. Additionally, degradation decreases available canopy cover and increases exposure of wildlife to predation. The objective of this study was to determine the difference in wildlife activity and diversity between three levels of shoreline impacts: minimal, moderate, and high. It was expected that the minimally and moderately impacted shoreline sites would show a greater diversity and abundance of wildlife than highly impacted shorelines. Trail camera data was analyzed at three sites for each treatment on Paul Smith's College property, along both the Lower St. Regis Lake and Black Pond. Although we detected no significant differences in either activity or diversity across the treatments, there was higher relative activity and diversity in moderately impacted shorelines than minimally or highly impacted. However, wildlife species that are more rare and/or area-sensitive, such as the fisher (Martes pennanti) and American marten (Martes americana), were only detected in the minimally impacted shorelines of Black Pond. A restoration of the highly impacted shoreline to reflect minimally and non-impacted shorelines of the surrounding region would allow for opportunities to improve habitat for native wildlife species.

Engaging Visitors Of Glenview Preserve With Interpretive Signage
Fri, 12/14/2018 - 11:42
Abstract: Glenview Preserve is a Lowland forest and Field property that boarders the Bloomingdale Bog. Implementing an educational system at the preserve would lead to more public interaction that would guarantee support for the Adirondack Land Trust's mission objectives. This approach would involve the development of an interpretive day-use site, interpretive programs and signs, and an outdoor education space. For my portion I will be investigating how the Adirondack Land Trust can construct interpretive signage that is weather resistant and provides valuable content. The quality of the content will be evaluated using the National Association of Interpretation principles of POETRY. These signs will promote ALT's mission objectives by encouraging people to make a difference after their visit through well-constructed and entertaining information. Visitors will donate money to ensure that having an educational system at the preserve is a leading concern of the Adirondack Land Trust's management plan for Glenview Preserve.

Homesteading for Beginners
Wed, 12/12/2018 - 14:51
Abstract: Homesteading isn't just a movement, it's a way of life. Our first research proposal was to create a guide to homesteading for beginners. Initial research showed there are countless types of homesteads and so we decided to research what homesteading is and the different ways you can homestead. Homesteading can be defined as a life of self sufficiency. But our research found that there can be many ways to achieve that goal.

Deal Close- Mesut Ozil Reveals He Is Manchester United Bound
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil favours a transfer to Manchester United over Barcelona, according to the Daily Mail.
The Germany international, aged 29, is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to show any indication that he intends to put pen to paper on a new deal.
If he does leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, Old Trafford is reportedly his preferred destination.
United boss Jose Mourinho a big admirer and keeping a close eye on the situation. The Red Devils are keen to add to their squad some creativity that is often missing when Paul Pogba is absent.
Ozil is said to favour a reunion with his former Real Madrid coach over burning his Bernabeu bridges by joining their La Liga rivals Barca.
Ozil has already turned down an offer of £235,000-a-week from the Gunners, who manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed are still negotiating with the World Cup winner. He is believed to want a deal closer to £300,000-a-week.

What is Epigenetics?
Epigenetics has been around for several years but its significance has been kept under wraps. The discoveries made with the help of this lesser known science can revolutionize the medical industry.
For over half a century, genetic researchers have been studying how our genes work. New discoveries brought about by epigenetics can potentially bring newfound benefits for everyone. The information that can be obtained by watching the videos in this page are important to fully understand how epigenetics works. What you will learn here can prove to be quite useful in the coming future.
In the most basic terms, epigenetics tells us that our physical appearance and our personalities and attitudes are determined by our genes. Our genes are coded into ourselves and are as unique as our fingerprints. Genes can be either "good" or "bad". They determine how we behave in what can be called "genetic expression".
Learn more about epigenetics by watching this video:
1 Minute Healing – Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.
To be able to overcome our emotional burdens and reducing the risk of passing them on to our kids is the end goal to break this painful cycle. This ability is called "methylation", and this is explained further in the "Epigenetics 101" video at the bottom. It's a video that may require about an hour of your time, so make sure you set aside some time for it (trust me, it's worth it).
Our genes are affected by internal and external factors – with prolonged and repeated exposure to stressful situations, your body produces hormones that can potentially be toxic and harmful to your body. Other factors like pollution can also have an adverse effect on our genetic expression.
Some studies indicate that contrary to popular belief, our genes do not turn our traits on or off – but instead, they are the blueprints that dictate our behavior and emotional capabilities. This idea is talked about more in depth in the video at the bottom of the page. In the video you will see Dr. Bruce Lipton, PhD, an expert in the field of epigenetics and one of the first scientists to clone human stem cells in the late 1960's as he talks about the benefits brought about by epigenetics.
You do not need to be an expert to understand how groundbreaking and revolutionary the Creatrix® process is to help you free yourself from the hopeless cycle of negativity and destructive frame of mind. When we change the way we look at our lives and environment, along with whatever perception that you may have inherited, we can change your inner being. Creatrix® works on everyone who is willing to take the initial steps on the road to emotional freedom. Creatrix® will set you free down to your very core.
By changing the environment you live in (and your perception of your environment), you can rewrite your genes. This means that your ancestors could have possibly passed on to you whatever they may have stressed about, and whatever environmental factor that they may have been subjected to. Your genes do not need to be the absolute factor that determines who you are. By using the Creatrix® method, you can reverse the damage that has been causing the negativity that tends to dictate your – and your children's destiny.
Please watch the next video to help you fully understand how epigenetics works and learn about how it can be an invaluable tool to help women all over.
Epigenetics and the influence of our genes | Courtney Griffins | TEDxOU
The video you saw above was a TED talk from Courtney Griffins where she explains how, during pregnancy, the stresses that you experience becomes part of your unborn child's environment and genetically affects your baby's genetic development.
The goal of empowering women who want to make a positive change in their life and leave behind all the gifts and benefits of a life free from negativity to their children and grandchildren can all be achieved through Creatrix®.

A more detailed talk on the benefits of epigenetics can be found in the video above. The video is about an hour long so you might want to set aside some time for it, but I guarantee that it is totally worth it.

Scottsdale, Ariz. the ultimate desert destination
According to some dream interpreters, dreaming of being in a desert is one of the most beautiful and serene dreams that you can have. And, sand reflects your creative and artistic abilities. Many people find that the desert connects them on a spiritual level, and there's no disputing the health benefits of this arid climate. With all the natural light, vitamin D strengthens your immune system, teeth and bones, and also lifts your spirits.
There certainly is an element of mystery, and a dream-like quality, that entices many to the sunny, winter weather of Arizona. Part of the greater Phoenix area, Scottsdale is sometimes described as the desert version of Miami's South Beach. Initially founded in 1894 as a farming community, artists and writers discovered this unique landscape, and began visiting in the early 1900s. As the popularity of the area grew, it paved the way for the first resort, which opened 1909. Today, Scottsdale is a much-revered tourist haven, and home to some of the top resorts in the United States.
Old Town Scottsdale is known as the west's most western town. Up until 20 years ago, there were wooden sidewalks and a barbecue joint on every corner. Today, the town has retained it's historical charm and there's lots to explore. In February you can still grab a ride on the pony express.
From JoyRides AZ, you can book a golf cart and tour historical sites like the Little Red School House, now the home of the Scottsdale Historical Museum, as well as the Rusty Spur, the city's first, and longest running, saloon, and the still-operating Cavalliere's Blacksmith Shop, which is housed in an adobe building from 1909.
At the Western Spirit Museum, you can learn more about the regional history and view rare artifacts. Around town, there's a plethora of turquoise jewellery stores, cosy cafes and Native American craft shops, as well as dozens of art galleries.
With close to 100 restaurants, Old Town is also a great place to discover a variety of dining options, and not just steak and potatoes. Try Diego Pops, a stylish diner where they serve modern Mexican fare (think brussels sprout nachos). Be sure to try their pretty pink prickly pear margarita – a local specialty.
Arizona might not be top-of-mind when you think about wine, but a stop at Carlson Creek Vineyard's tasting room will prove otherwise. You might visit Craft64 to sample some great Arizona craft beers on tap, but make sure that you also stay for the wood-fired pizza.
For upscale American fare, visit that award-winning Citizen Public House, and try the pan-seared scallops with a cola gastrique, served over roasted sweet corn grits.
The Waterfront District is built along a major canal, lined with palm trees, art sculptures and fountains. Grab a table on the waterfront patio at the trendy Olive & Ivy, where Mediterranean meets California cuisine. Across the street is the Scottsdale Fashion Square – the largest mall in Arizona.
For a birds-eye view of the desert, book a hot air balloon ride. Keep you eyes open for wild burros and javelinas (wild boars).
Take a hike in the 30,500-acre McDowell Sonoran Preserve, located just 15 minutes outside of the city. Here, you can fully appreciate the desert landscape. Make your way through palo verde groves, cacti and creosote bushes to reach breathtaking summits.
Discover more than 50,000 desert plants at the Desert Botanical Garden. If you visit before May, 2019, check out Electric Desert, a stunning light and sound show, which turns the desert and the garden's fauna into a living art installation.
Scottsdale offers up a wide selection of resorts for all tastes and budgets. For the ultimate in R & R, try the recently renovated Phoenician, with its large day spa, multi-pool complex, and world-class 18-hole golf course.
The Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia is also a multi-pool property. The arching entryways, fountains and floral walkways are reminiscent of Spain's exotic Andalusia region.
If you prefer a smaller, boutique setting, the newly-constructed Mountain Shadows also has an 18-hole golf course. Initially opened in 1959, the original hotel was popular with Hollywood stars like John Wayne and Elizabeth Taylor (check out their photo collection). With gorgeous views of Camelback and Mummy Mountains, it's easy to see why.

How Bad is Student Loan Debt? There is no doubt it's pretty bad for millions of people, but I found a few really amazing facts that put it into a little perspective. I have a few of them here but visit the rest at huffingtonpost.com.
Bigger than Most Countries
Currently, more than 40 million Americans hold student debt. The population with student loans is actually greater than the entire population of Canada, Poland, North Korea, Australia and more than 200 other countries. It's also about four times greater than the population of Sweden.
Seven Million Defaulted
Out of the nearly 40 million borrowers, about seven million have defaulted on these student debts. Translation: 7 million (or about 2 percent of the population of the United States) have had their credit trashed as a result of their student loans and can have 25 percent in penalties added onto their total student loan debts. To add insult to injury, about 60 percent of employers run credit checks on applicants before hiring or promoting, making it close to impossible for millions to get a higher paying job to actually repay these debts.
Average Student Debt Increases While Wages Decrease
Since 1999, student debt has increased more than 500 percent. Unfortunately, average salaries for young people have not. In fact, since 2000, the average salary for young people has decreased by 10 percent. It's no wonder that we are seeing millennials delaying starting families, making car purchases and buying homes.
Your Student Loans Could Make You Unemployable
With seven million Americans defaulting on their student loans, this also means that seven million Americans will have their personal credit plummet and be deemed unhireable by many employers as a result. Once a borrower has defaulted on a student loan, this can also result in automatically becoming ineligible for some government jobs.
It's pretty bad out there, there is a lot of stuff at your disposal if you know where to look. I cover this and other facets of debt and I would highly recommend you take my class on how to get out of debt.

Personal Travel Managers Discover Mutual Support Invaluable
TravelManagers new recruit Sahra Vilayrack representative for Carrington in Newcastle and long established personal travel manager Merran Wiggins, representative for Warners Bay in Lake Macquarie enjoy more than a neighbourly cup of tea. Whilst some may consider the fifteen and a half kilometer distance apart as being competitive territory, it is completely the opposite philosophy for Vilayrack and Wiggins who are representative of how TravelManagers' personal travel managers across Australia interact.
It was Wiggins' own experience of knowing how daunting starting your own business is, with no client base and your own self-doubt that led her desire to provide encouragement and mutual support for those personal travel managers just starting out.
"Starting out on your own is often the biggest decision of your career. It certainly was for me. The smallest thing can make or break your business start-up and from experience, every personal travel manager will question his or her own abilities. I jumped at the chance to mentor Sahra offering support, advice or simply just providing answers to questions about how things work. The smoother the start-up process, the quicker Sahra can build her own business and then will be able to assist in growing our network, which benefits us all."
TravelManagers' Executive General Manager Michael Gazal applauds Wiggin's proactive, approach that really resonates with the TravelManagers family based philosophies.
"Merran's selfless proactiveness to offer support and encouragement without personal gain or reward epitomizes TravelManagers' philosophy of personal travel managers working collectively together to support each other and foster community spirit. We recognize each personal travel manager has wide-ranging strengths in different areas and actively encourage this type of peer community support both from a social and business point of view."
For Vilayrack it was TravelManagers' community spirit that was one of her motivators to join the company,
"After working part time for many years as a single mum in the travel industry, I knew I had to make a change if I wanted a better lifestyle and opportunities for myself and my children. I chose to do this with TravelManagers as I felt confident in the model, its reputation for community spiritness and the endless opportunities including the potential income I could make."
Vilayrack has been overwhelmed with the level of support she has received from her fellow personal travel managers.
"I thought initially it would be quite competitive with everyone in the area having their established existing clients and being wary of another personal travel manager. However It's completely the opposite! On my first day I met everyone from the Newcastle area, they were all friendly and willing to offer advice. I have been invited to BNI meetings, we meet for coffee after our cluster meetings and I feel completely comfortable emailing any of my fellow colleagues if I need a hand. From day one I was made to feel like part of the TravelManagers family."
Vilayrack advises the support of the national partnership office is invaluable.
"With TravelManagers, you know you are never alone. The encouragement and support I have received has been invaluable. I have been in personal contact with Michael Gazal over the phone who has given me pep talks and support on big business decisions, I honestly feel like I am his teammate! The marketing team have helped me develop many advertisements including tips and hints on free local marketing strategies including one that gained me 180 newsletter sign ups and a group of 22 to Asia for a sporting event! It's like having an office full of colleagues right here in my living room. The support network with TravelManagers is really above and beyond and makes home based consulting a dream."
For Vilayrack enjoying a cup of tea together with her mentor Wiggins takes on new meaning. As well as the usual daily chitchat it's a chance to network, support each other and work together to collectively grow their individual businesses.
"The autonomy and freedom to drive your business in so many different directions, the opportunity to earn a great income whilst having a good work life balance is invaluable to me. Being mobile is a huge asset, my clients really enjoy going for coffee or lunch whist we nut out their next dream holiday. I feel secure in my business being in the TravelManagers family, I feel I'm not doing this journey alone. Having so many people rally for you and your business is priceless."

text: LRA writes: This is an unconventional film in the best possible way. From the trailer to even the opening moments of the actual film we are being prepared for a revenge/action fantasy. It's not so much that we don't get that because we do, oh boy how we do. But it is more like those promises were made to lure us in and trap us with a story that is so much more than a person seeking revenge on another. Hanna was directed by Joe Wright and I have to plead ignorance here because I haven't seen any of his previous work. However when I glossed over his few past films I did take note that not a one of them appeared to be action or thriller oriented. I suppose if I had done my homework and had seen any of his other works I might have been a little more prepared for what Hanna is. Regardless of my expectations though I was fully engulfed in the world and characters presented here and found it to be a refreshing take on the revenge/thriller genre.


text: Sure, I got mine from Bellevue Honda but it was their last base model. They beat South Tacoma Honda by just $100 though, and Tacoma had a few left. If you get a quote from them you can probably get other dealers in the area to match or beat it. I got the quote by emailing and asking for their best out the door price. ETA: the quote from South Tacoma came from Reggie who is their Internet Sales Manager

Readers will know that we Bart and I are very keen on Blitzkrieg Commander, after two successful games. Both were tactically interesting, fast to play and with some funny moments. What more do you want?
The problem is that it seems to work best in a small scale. This is not a problem, actually, but good sense. For the price of one tank in 15mm (5 pounds or 8 euros) you can buy about 15 little 1:300 beasts. I'm quite fond of my 15mm 1940 material, so I'll hang onto them and play PBI 2 or something with them.
I will sell my 1944 British (anyone interested? 40 or so infantry, 6 Cromwells, 2 Challengers, 2 Stuarts, 1 17iber with tow, 2 6lbers, 1 Daimler a/c). Nicely painted and based (of course ;)
So for 6mm or 1:300. Kurt has gone berserk and ordered some GHQ Yanks. A slightly eccentric choice (sorry, Dave). But interesting. He will have, of course, to be encouraged to get some 1944 Boche as well as an opponent.
Bart has reclaimed his desert stuff and is desperate to do 1940.
I am torn between all these things and also Russia 1941-43…
So, thoughts?
It seems a bit daft to do 1940 in both 6mm and 15mm.
The desert war is an interesting theatre, could maybe do O'Connor and the Italians, ie the fun before the beastly Rommel came along and spoiled things
If I sell my 15mm 1944, then that might also be an option, as the Brit stuff is quite fun at this stage and there are plenty of interesting actions. And in 6mm we can play in a big scale
Comments? Inspiration?
you disappoint me - it is never a daft idea to have the same armies in different scales. In fact, it might well be the sign of the true addict / wargamer :)
The pre-German period in the Desert War is indeed fun (and I have some Italians in my collection-to-recuperate): you get to play around with British cruiser tanks of various degrees of clunkiness (A9, A10 and A13), and there are some very interesting actions to play (notably the Italian retreat across Libya culminating in the Beda Fomm encounter).
Late war British appeal to me only after the breakout of Normandy - Epsom and Goodwood are too much of a tank slugfest for my tastes. But the later actions in Southern Holland are indeed very interesting. Those would be my choice in your situation.
'tis already a done deal. Alan is now the proud owner of more 1944 1/300 than he thought he would have at this point in time and I have lots of space in my loft. I on the other hand am the proud owner of the Welsh Guards Armoured Recce group in 15mm and jolly nice they are too! I intend to maintain only 2 scales for WW2- the 15mm Early and Mid -war and the 1/200th US/German 1944 set-up that I have had for a long time now. I intend to buy some more 1/200 Russian stuff to go with it, probably for the later war period. I too could be tempted back into the Western Desert in 1/300th since certainly the 1941/42 battles are very interesting and are centred more on the tank actions. I believe that BkC might be the ideal set of rules for this. Graham K
I broke down and ordered Blitzkrieg Commander since you lot were raving about it. I want it for North Africa. Now my big question is, do I stick with 15mm or go down a scale to 10mm (I won't do 1/300 again I'm afraid). I want to keep this outlay smaller than my European stuff, since I will also have to invest in new terrain as well.
David It depends upon what you think the Western Desert war is. If you want to go fighting the infantry assaults then 15mm. If you want to manouvre the tanks then 1/200 scale is reasonable. For me the Desert war is the grand sweeps, and the tank actions, for the most part therefore the infantry is secondary. I would go for 1/200 th everytime, providing that I could find some good enough infantry models. BkC in 1/300 would also work because the infantry exists. the idea of a platoon/troop can be created by mounting 2 or three tanks on a base. That is my one crib about the system, for the 1944 Brits the mixed troops of tanks are already factored in. Ie a Cromwell unit already includes a Challenger. This does not seem to work the same way for Sherman units which seem weaker, but have to option for separate Firefly Units.
Cheers Graham
BV has 6mm desert war figures, so why not stick to that scale? We can then have huge, huge battles.
Do you want to try it out sometime? BV, Kurt and myself are playing on Friday evening in Darkest Tremelo. If you don't mind a 40 minute drivem you're welcome to join.
Graham & Alan, I was going towards 10mm (and Perrin has all the inf, command, support, and arty crew for NA!) simply because I find 6mm too small for me. I like the heft of the bigger figures. However, given Bart's stuff it may make more sense to go 6mm as well. Fridays are hard for me, my eldest son has football so I'm usually not free to leave the house before 2030. Oh, the joys of having young children. I can't wait until I'm free in about 8 years. David
David I too have a preference these days. I shall most likely end up in Sicily/ Italy as I like the idea of more closely combining the allies. It also gives me the excuse for buying some more 10mm buildings that can be used for the Napoleonic 15mm north italy games I am planning. Were you talking about the UK or the US end of Perrin?

My beloved Taikang Lu!
This little street in Shanghai had originally three stores, two restaurants and a few galleries when I moved in next to it in 2007.
One of the main stops of every Shanghai visitor became the main arts & crafts centre, a mish-mash of tiny streets covered with boutiques, souvenir shops and galleries selling pieces you won't find anywhere else. Silk scarfs, handmade bags and jewellery, unique pieces for everyone.
I used to live right next door and we always used to go there for lunch or dinner. Later on I even had an office there. The owner of the silk shop used to know my name, since I would buy a silk scarf from him every other day (7 euros, hello!)
Later on Taikang lu became a culinary destination and more boutiques, galleries and bars opened up.
It was amazing to be back. There is more Asian restos now and less American tourists. It's still a great place for spending half a day there, for finding original souvenirs or just going over memories 🙂

But free form radio was something I'd wanted to do since I was a teenager and I can't describe how fulfilling it is every week to play almost anything you want to play while finding a way to balance what is aired. I have special rules about rotating my artists in order to keep the show from sounding like a personal jukebox. Can anyone tell who my all-time top ten favorites are, based on what hits the Retroactive airwaves? Doubtful.
I feel the show has depth because I'm lucky to have lived in three different areas of the country and musically, I have a vivid memory of what made those places so special. Coming from the Midwest, the bedrock of my long-running show was inspired by the great 1960s AM (CKLW, WKNR) and FM (WABX) stations that lit Detroit up back in the day. I got to Texas in 1973 and didn't understand that folkie/country thing at all ("What is this 'Cosmic Cowboy' crap?," I wondered, as somebody named Pete Brown and another person played a bunch of songs for my fellow incoming students at Texas Lutheran not long after we first arrived).
Thankfully, I found some fabulous stations in South Central Texas (KRMH, "Karma" in San Marcos, KLBJ/Austin, and even KEXL/San Antonio--KOKE was supposed to be extraordinary, but I could never tune it in unless I was driving 50 miles north to Austin) that positively fueled my radio listening, not to mention the rock column I wrote for the college's weekly newspaper for four years. Austin radio, God love them, played more Little Feat, Freddie King and Bonnie Raitt than I ever heard in Detroit. Those three stations, while in tune with the early '70s "Progressive Country" movement to an extent, refused to be defined by that sound. And I refused too, explaining to my Michigan friends that "Texas isn't just country music"; in much the same way, I needed them to know that I wasn't at TLU (then TLC) studying to be a minister--not that there's anything wrong with that, to paraphrase the Seinfeld program.
Just before I left Michigan for Washington state in 1993, I found out about two trailblazers from Tacoma, the (Fabulous) Wailers, and especially the Sonics, who compare favorably to Detroit's proto-punk pioneers the MC5 and the Stooges. I try to get something on the air from a Pacific Northwest band every week, and not as many artists from my other regions of residence, because the Northwest is where I live.
Put simply, I am still having a blast doing my Saturday program. There are many colleagues, mentors and more that have helped me attain what I feel is a very good radio show, familiar sounding yet not predictable. There are too many of you to thank, but I will mention two this time: My fellow KAOS progammer, Steve McLellan, and my loving wife, Gina. Back when I got kicked in the teeth after giving my all to a job I'd had for twenty years, I thought maybe I should give up the show and concentrate on finding new employment. Steve and Gina were among the first to say that quitting KAOS would be a mistake, because my soul is in there. Thanks to them, and to everyone else who has aided me along the way. It's too late to stop now.
PS--My first time on the air at KAOS was right before Retroactive began. I was subbing on a program called Have It Yahweh. And of course, someone phoned in to say that I was making fun of God by using that moniker. "It's not my show!," I told them.
PPS--The best phone calls I've received? One time, a listener said that he had moved away from Olympia for several years, came back, and was glad to hear I was still at good old 89.3...Another time, I had Yoko Ono on and the phone box lit up. "Uh oh, here comes a nasty call," I figured. Yet it was a completely different type of response: "I love Yoko! Is that from Fly or Approximately Infinite Universe?," they asked. That is so Olympia.
Addendum (KAOS Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, May 17th): Gina did the most loving thing for me this day. She had a special card made up that had pages from my battered, 20 year KAOS notebook with a maroon-colored cover printed on one side--under my hand-written "Chuck Berry," for instance, the numbers listed say that he was played on shows numbering 1, 12, 20, 24 and so on. The card's flipside was blank, and she snuck around at the banquet (while I was getting drinks, talking to someone in the corner or whatever) and got several KAOS programmers to sign the card and congratulate me on 20 years. What a really beautiful gesture. Thank you, Gina.

1Do no evil, and evil will never befall you.
2Stay away from wrong, and it will turn away from you.
3My son, do not sow the furrows of injustice,
and you will not reap a sevenfold crop.
4Do not seek from the Lord the highest office,
nor the seat of honour from the king.
5Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord,
nor display your wisdom before the king.
6Do not seek to become a judge,
lest you be unable to remove iniquity,
lest you be partial to a powerful man,
and thus put a blot on your integrity.
7Do not offend against the public,
and do not disgrace yourself among the people.
8Do not commit a sin twice;
even for one you will not go unpunished.
9Do not say, "He will consider the multitude of my gifts,
and when I make an offering to the Most High God he will accept it."
10Do not be fainthearted in your prayer,
nor neglect to give alms.
11Do not ridicule a man who is bitter in soul,
for there is One who abases and exalts.
12Do not devise7.12 Heb: Gk plough a lie against your brother,
nor do the like to a friend.
13Refuse to utter any lie,
for the habit of lying serves no good.
14Do not prattle in the assembly of the elders,
nor repeat yourself in your prayer.
15Do not hate toilsome labour,
or farm work, which were created by the Most High.
16Do not count yourself among the crowd of sinners;
remember that wrath does not delay.
17Humble yourself greatly,
for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms.7.17 The Hebrew text reads for the expectation of man is worms
18Do not exchange a friend for money,
or a real brother for the gold of Ophir.
19Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife,
for her charm is worth more than gold.
20Do not abuse a servant who performs his work faithfully,
or a hired labourer who devotes himself to you.

Update 2: In a stunning move, Argentina's MERVAL stock index was cut in half today, crashing 48% in USD terms on the day.
Source: Bloomberg
As Bloomberg reports, this is the second-biggest one-day rout on any of the 94 stock exchanges tracked by Bloomberg going back to 1950.
Source: Bloomberg
"The market is starting to price in default," said Edwin Gutierrez, the London-based head of emerging-market sovereign debt at Aberdeen Asset Management.
"The market is unwilling to give Fernandez the benefit of the doubt."
* * *
Update 1: With Argentina's capital markets sliding into the abyss on what we have dubbed Macri Massacre Monday, on the day the country's President unexpectedly lost a primary vote by a landslide unleashing political chaos and uncertainty, Goldman has effectively thrown in the towel and tells clients that "going forward investors may want to center their attention on any hints about the broad contours of the economic agenda of a probable Fernandez-Kirchner administration."
In other words, brace for the second coming of CFK, something markets are already doing with Argentina CDS exploding higher, and now reflecting a 72% probability of default in 5 years, up nearly 50% from 49% as of Friday.
And with the CDS market having spoken, everyone else is following with Argentina equities imploding, as the Merval sinks 12%, its worst one day slide since 2008.
One wonders when fund investors - such as Templeton's Michael Hasenstab who may be on Epstein-watch this morning - will preemptively confiscate Argentina's ships ahead of the coming default, and CFK 2.0 return.
For all those curious, here is Goldman's hot take on what a bang up job the IMF did in Argentina:
A Much Worse than Expected Defeat for the Ruling Coalition in the Primaries
The main opposition candidate Alberto Fernandez (Frente de Todos) won the presidential primary elections (PASO) by a landslide on Sunday. Mr. Fernandez, whose ticket included former president Cristina Kirchner as running mate, won almost 48% of the votes, well ahead of incumbent president Mauricio Macri (Juntos por El Cambio) with 32% of the votes. The nearly 16 percentage point gap was much larger than what could be inferred from virtually all polls, which pointed to a tight race between the top two contenders.
Mr. Fernandez's strong performance in the primaries already leaves him well positioned to win the elections in the first round on October 27, without the need for a run-off. Argentine constitutional rules determine that a front runner presidential candidate who obtains more than 45% of the valid votes or who obtains more than 40% of the valid votes together with a 10 point-lead over of the runner-up will be automatically elected. Importantly, these thresholds exclude blank votes, which could slightly boost Mr. Fernandez's final tally relative to the PASO.
In addition to the surprisingly large deficit relative to the front runner, other elements reinforce the extent of Mr. Macri's setback on Sunday. First, the primaries recorded a reasonably high participation rate (approximately 76% of the 33.8 million registered voters; broadly in line with the 2015 PASO). Second, the primaries were largely dominated by the Frente de Todos and Juntos por El Cambio coalitions as expected; centrist candidates like former Minister Lavagna (Consenso Federal) lagged far behind the top two contenders. Hence, the "reservoir" of potential new voters available to Mr. Macri ahead of the first-round elections may be reasonably limited. To turn things around, the incumbent will likely need to swing a large number of votes away from the opposition, which seems improbable in this highly divisive political backdrop.
The primaries for the governorship of the province of Buenos Aires – home to nearly 40% of the national electorate – proved to be another resounding defeat for the Juntos por El Cambio block. Incumbent Governor Maria Eugenia Vidal obtained less than 33% of the votes, trailing former Minister Axel Kicillof (Frente de Todos) by a nearly insurmountable 17 percentage points. Such a large shortfall is revealing as Ms. Vidal is one of the most popular leaders within the ruling coalition, having been touted by some insiders as a more competitive option for the presidential race compared to Mr. Macri.
By all odds, domestic and international investors will be disappointed with the results of the PASO. The probable deterioration of sentiment and the resulting tightening of financial conditions in coming days and weeks may pose yet another headwind to the still fragile recovery of the Argentine economy. More importantly from a political standpoint, renewed depreciation pressures on the Peso may delay and perhaps even reverse the incipient decline in consumer price inflation, harming the image of the Macri administration and weighing further on the president's reelection bid.
We believe these results of the PASO would be nearly irreversible. Rather than incoming polls or specific political maneuvers, going forward investors may want to center their attention on any hints about the broad contours of the economic agenda of a probable Fernandez-Kirchner administration.
And speaking of the IMF, and its outgoing head Christine Lagarde, after destroying Argentina again, Lagarde is now off to mercifully finish Europe as head of the ECB.

Argentine markets were in turmoil on Monday after voters roundly rejected pro-business reformist president Mauricio Macri and his austere economic policies in primary elections held over the weekend.
Instead, Populist Peronist candidate Alberto Fernández won the weekend primary by a much wider-than-expected margin, leaving him a shoe-in to win in the fall, and end Argentina's one-term experiment with a more business friendly regime.

Fernández's primary win wasn't a surprise. In fact, markets had been anticipating a strong showing by Fernandez and vice presidential candidate Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner with a growing sense of dread.
However, the Argentine peso opened down a stunning 25%, crashing to a new record low at over 61/USD...

Many fear that if Macri loses this autumn's election, it could mean that the economic stability his government ushered in recently will come to an abrupt end. Under Macri, Argentina received the largest IMF bailout on record, $50 billion, largely to help stabilize the peso.
"The probable deterioration of sentiment and the resulting tightening of financial conditions in coming days and weeks may pose yet another headwind to the still fragile recovery of the Argentine economy," said Tiago Severo, economist at Goldman Sachs.
He added:
"More importantly from a political standpoint, renewed depreciation pressures on the peso may delay and perhaps even reverse the incipient decline in consumer price inflation, harming the image of the Macri administration and weighing further on the president's re-election bid."
On Sunday night, there were scenes of jubilation among Fernández's supporters around Buenos Aires, with chants of "We're going to return." Macri and his supporters were somewhat more restrained.

General Election result comment
Following the result of the General Election, OF&G chief executive Roger Kerr has urged David Cameron's government to fulfil its promises to the food and farming sectors.
"We sincerely hope ministers in the new Conservative government will work hard to ensure the needs and concerns of our licensees are met," he said.
"For the food and farming sectors as a whole we now expect the government to fulfil the pledges it made during the election campaign – such as cutting red tape and developing markets for British food and improving the natural environment, something which organic farming will help deliver.
"For the organic sector in particular, it is vital that our producers are given proper support so that consumers continue to have a choice when food shopping in the UK," he added.
"To achieve this we will be pushing the government to think carefully about the implications of introducing GM crop technology into the UK to ensure adequate legal protection is given to British farmers who produce non-GM food.
"The organic sector must continue to work together, along with other groups and businesses producing non-GM food, to make sure politicians and businesses in the supply chain maintain a constructive dialogue on this major challenge facing food producers, processors and retailers."

It used to be that to obtain aerial images of a town or landmark you would have to get permission then charter a private plane and then stick your camera out of the plane's window. Today, things have become a lot easier with drones now hitting the mass consumer market meaning anyone can buy and fly one (although there are still restrictions in place when it comes to flying them over certain areas).
Consequently, we are now seeing aerial drone footage from all over Poland, not only footage of major cities but smaller towns and villages, forests, seaside resorts, mountains etc. It has literally introduced a new perspective on travel photography for the masses.
HD cameras are a common feature with drones so image quality is often superb.
There are now many companies who provide professional filming services with drones but a far greater number of amateur hobbyists who are only too happy to upload their footage for everyone to enjoy.
Below are a selection of some of the latest drone videos of Poland.
