A West Yorkshire man has been jailed for four years after pleading guilty to explosives and terrorism charges.
Martin Panton, 49, was arrested by officers from the North East Counter Terrorism Unit in September after explosive material was found at his home address in Parkwood Street, Keighley.
Neighbouring homes were evacuated at the time to allow for thorough searches and the safe removal of the explosive material.

Panton pleaded guilty this week to six offences of possessing a record containing information useful for terrorist purposes and four more of possessing and making an explosive substance.
He was sentenced to four years in prison during a hearing at Leeds Crown Court today (Wednesday).
Detective Chief Superintendent Clive Wain, head of the North East Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "Unlawful possession of highly volatile chemicals and explosives is not only extremely dangerous but is also a serious criminal offence.
"The materials were being held in a well-populated residential area and the consequences of them being ignited, either accidentally or deliberately could have been tragic. Thankfully the items were removed safely."
He said Panton had conducted conducted most of his research online, downloading a number of publications containing instructions on how to make explosives.
"We recognise the potential risks posed by the easy access to online publications and material which may constitute offences," he said.
"If the public come across material which gives them cause for concern, we'd always urge them to come forward and contact police in confidence on 0800 789 321 or via www.gov.uk/act."

A nutrition firm, Novus Nutrition Products Africa, has celebrated the 2017 World Egg Day by highlighting the benefits of eating eggs.
The firm, which promised to continue to support egg producers, in a statement released on Thursday, said that eggs remains one of the highest quality protein sources around, offering many health benefits including more than 13 essential vitamins.
The statement read in part, "We at Novus consider it a privilege to support such a sustainable food source while assisting in educating Africans on the benefits and importance of eggs.
"Our commitment to support Word Egg Day and egg producers is a reflection of our vision to help feed the world with affordable, wholesome food and achieve a higher quality of life."
It also stated, "Health organisations around the world are actively encouraging people to eat more eggs to ensure that they benefit from nature's natural vitamin pill. The Australian Heart Foundation recommends that people eat six eggs a week. In Canada, eggs carry the country's health check mark, and the Irish Heart Foundation has coined the phrase, 'An egg a day is OK'.
"Friday October 13th is World Egg Day, when events are held around the world to celebrate the egg and the incredible role it plays in people's diets."
The Director, Lifeline Laboratory, Angeli Misra, was also quoted in a report by Indian Times on Thursday as saying, "Research has proved that, as opposed to the previous beliefs, eggs are actually good for health. Researchers have looked at the diets of people, and they have suggested that consuming eggs every day is not associated with cholesterol problems or heart disease."
It also reported the Senior Nutritionist and Wellness Consultant, Healthians,Saumya Satakshi, as saying, "Eggs are low in saturated fat and they have no trans-fat."

There are many people who would like to get involved in real estate investment but don't know where to learn how to go about it. Here, you can find a lot of valuable information on the subject. The following article contains the information you need to begin your education.
Remember that real estate investing is all about the numbers. When you're buying a home to live in, you may get emotional about the place, but there's no room for that in investing. You need to keep your eye on the data and make your decisions with your head, not your heart.
Keep an accountant on speed dial. You can be aware of tax laws and current taxation; however, there are many variables to keep in mind. A good accountant, that understands and keeps abreast of tax laws, can be an invaluable asset. Your success with investing can be made or broken by your approach to taxes.
When you invest in real estate to rent the property, make sure you're able to get your money back within a reasonable amount of time. If it takes you years to get the money back in rental payments, then it will be hard for you to use the money on anything property related.
Always get your properties inspected. Inspections are not a bad thing, and you shouldn't think of them as an annoying expense. Inspections can uncover serious issues that may not be immediately apparent. This can give you negotiating leverage or allow you to fix issues before someone else requests an inspection.
Join online investment groups or locate blogs of real estate investors that are successful, globally. These options will deliver great information that will be invaluable in building your investment strategies. You can even contact the expert directly.
If you buy a rental property, carefully check out each potential tenant. The prospective tenant should have enough funds to pay a deposit plus the rent for the first month. If they tell you that is not possible, they may not be able to pay rent either. So, the best idea is to rent to someone else.
Make sure that any money you put into a property is given back, and then some, when trying to sell it. If you're only breaking even, you're wasting valuable time. Make any changes the property needs in renovation and list higher than the total paid in.
Seek out new clients by contacting a title company. Ask for a list of the buyers in your area who have purchased homes similar to the type you seek. In this way, you can let them know of your interest in investing before they have even thought of reselling. Being acquainted in homes for sale anna gives you an edge.

Examine that country's economic forecast when looking to buy some real estate. Property prices will stay low as long as unemployment rates stay high. This does translate to a small return. Cities that are booming are sure to provided enhanced property values.
Speak with friends, family or schoolmates who have knowledge about the business and pick their brains. This can be a free source of information that can help you to develop the best possible strategy for your budget and skill level. Gaining more knowledge is imperative in this business to gain an edge.
Obtaining affordable financing when investing in real estate is essential in order to be successful. Verify with your mortgage broker or bank the interest rate and monthly mortgage payment prior to making an offer. Make sure your monthly mortgage payment can be covered by the rent from the property.
Look for distressed properties at bargain prices. You can often find these well below market value. Buying these and fixing them up can net you big profits. In the long run, you will make a lot more by following the strategy than you would by purchasing homes that need little or no work.
When assessing real estate for investment, be sure to choose properties that will pay you a fair cash value on return. Remember that purchasing a property reduces your liquid assets temporarily. You want to be sure to be able to replenish them quickly and amply. Remember that your cash was earning between 4 and 6 percent interest in the bank. When you invest it, you should seek a greater return.
Even in the aftermath of the real estate boom years, people are still making good money through real estate investing. However, if deep understanding of the market is lacking, it can be difficult to make any headway. Use the tips found above and get your new career off to a successful start.

How Pesticides Cause Water Pollution
Before embarking upon the topic of pollution by pesticides, one should perceive water. Water molecules ar valency bonds of 2 atoms of chemical element and one atom of gas. Nearly seventy one of surface is roofed by water. Most of the water is resident in oceans. Only 1.6% water are often found in below ground surface aquifers, 0.6% ar accessible on surface land like rivers, lakes and ponds and zero.001% within the region air as clouds, vapour and precipitation. Water is delimited by a cycle of evaporation, precipitation and runoff via storm drains, streams and rivers to ultimately find yourself into the ocean.
Find anything about What Temperature Kills Bed Bugs
Water is a vital element once air for survival and thriving of all flora and fauna of the planet. In human surroundings, water is offered in primarily four varieties. beverage is offered naturally in most of the rivers and streams if not contaminated by domestic and industrial effluents. One vital purpose to notice is that the moving water gets cleansed by abandoning its suspended particulates coalition with bottom muck or silt and additional cleansed by sandy particles gift within the channels and stream. Moreover, minerals with medicative and purifying properties encountered in their means forward build the water safe for drinking purpose typically higher than synthetically cleansed beverage. The second selection is that the method water. this can be automatically cleansed water used for industrial purpose and as domestic water acceptable laundry, agriculture and farming. Next is perishable effluent water. this can be industrial effluent that gets treated and cleansed to necessary norms before its unleash into the land surface or water bodies. The last is non-biodegradable effluent water from factories that ar once more to be statutorily cleansed and treated before being discharged.. Effluent containing pesticides fall within the bio and non-bio-degradable class.
Pesticide could also be a compound, biological virus or microorganism or disinfectant used for preventing, mitigating or foul tormenter infestation. Pests like plant pathogens, insects, weeds, molluses, birds, fish, mammals, nematodes and microbes unfold malady or cause loss to the property. Here again, we have a tendency to ar moon-faced with benefits of victimization pesticides further as disadvantages of inflicting pollution in virtually equal proportion. solely 3-5% pesticides within the kind of pesticides and herbicides ar effectively administered. the remainder 95-97% boomerang upon United States through land manufacture, water bodies and region fallouts. a number of the known channels ar as under:
• Manufacturing industries generate solid waste made with pesticides rejects. Carelessly disposed chemical waste gets leached with the falling water. Improperly treated effluent conjointly reaches water bodies. Vapour/particulates emissions crumple on earth with rain water and find deposited in water bodies.
• Pesticides treated agricultural fields break out excess pesticides into nearest water bodies.
• Excess or expired pesticides discarded in inappropriate manner while not adhering to pollution management norms, either flows with the stream or get leached into the land surface from wherever it realize its thanks to water bodies..
• Aerial spray drifting with air to unintentional targeted space and species.
• Sprayed into water bodies to destroy alga.
Physical and chemical properties of a specific chemical is additionally instrumental in polluting water like its biodegradability, binding strength, solubility, vapor pressure, texture, water retention characteristic and organic matter content. except its properties, excess pesticides spraying may additionally lead it to the water bodies. Smaller the route, higher ar the possibilities. Pesticides sprayed in excess could percolate or leach through the soil. it's going to flow with alternative effluents or storm water as runoff. Accidental or negligence spillage may additionally have a similar fate. Pesticides fertilised in geologic process soil could also be over excited to the water body.
It has been found that chemical break out has killed all the fish during a explicit lake or stream. Herbicides administered into the water body to mitigate wild growth like alga also are quite dangerous. Excess destruction of aquatic plants could use up food resource of the fishes. The dead aquatic plants begin decay depleting chemical element content of water technically termed as "Biological chemical element demand". If fish doesn't suffer fatality then there's bigger probability that these pesticides could damage indirectly. The fish could abandon their nesting and brooding zone therefore reducing population. it's going to decrease immunity to fight malady. The fish could lose its reflexes and become a predator's delight. The amphibians also are suffering thanks to impact of pesticides on water bodies. Ponds ar the closest of all the water bodies and relies upon "water seeks its own level "mechanism.

Computer animation embraces large number of techniques, be it a motion graphics, or the other types of animation techniques. The common thing which relates different animation techniques together is the factor the animation is developed digitally on a computer. Computer animation techniques are very popular and they are used in varied fields- be it education, research, automobiles and so on. You will find comprehensive info about computer animation in this article.
Computer animation is also known as Computer Generated Imagery, CGI animation, which is defined as the art of making images which can move with the help of computers. In other words, it can be said about computer animation that it is a subset of computer graphics and animation techniques. Generally, computer animation is more of three-dimensional computer graphics, although two-dimensional graphics are also used for the purpose of stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time delivering requirements. Another important point of info about computer animation is that computer animation is considered as the digital successor to the techniques of motion graphics such as stop motion animation of 3D models and frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations.
Many times, the animation is created to target the computer itself, however sometimes when the target is some other medium, like a film. In that case it is called as computer-generated imagery or computer-generated imaging, particularly in case of the computer animation is to be used in films. Thus, in order to produce a false impression or an illusion of movement, the image is represented on a computer screen and is over and over again replaced by a newer image which is quite similar to the one which preceded it. However it is bit advanced in the time domain which is generally t a rate of 24 or 30 frames/second. This technique is similar to the manner in which illusion of movement is achieved with television and motion pictures.

This Week Rooms 19 1/2 of room 22 and room 15 had a challenge. The challenge was to aether make a movie about love or a sculpture ,picture , or a poem. I made a movie it was about the song Just The Way You Are By Bruno Mars. The Movie was created by me and my friend Anthony.
It was difficult because Anthony was filming and acting. We cut out the snippets where he ran in to the shot. I had to sing because we couldn't get the actual song into Imovie.

Somehow, inexplicably, it's been a very quiet week. Nobody's been hounding me . . . um rather . . . suggesting story ideas, so I decided to take this opportunity to clean up a few odds and ends.
All Aboard
You may remember the post we did with a video about the All Aboard Restaurant that's opening in the Shoppes of Benton. This place is the one with the cool trains that travel around the restaurant bringing truly excellent food to your table. Well, since we hadn't heard anything from them in a while, I called the owner, Vince Schallenberg, yesterday to get an update. He's still very excited about coming to Benton and says they're shooting for an opening date around Labor Day, September 4th.
Alcoa Road
I took a drive down Alcoa Road, and it's still a mess, but I don't think it's quite as big a mess as it was a few weeks ago. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you to clean your room. Alcoa Road is a little like the first iteration of that – you can walk around in it, but really all the mess is just shoved off into a corner or thrown in the closet or under the bed. I'm sure it'll get better, after all we don't want mom to have to come back in here.
Other Streets info
I visited with Tony, Jonathan, and Tanya at the street department to find out what else was going on. They told me that mainly they were concentrating on mowing right now. The Spring Cleanup followed by the Storm Cleanup put them a few weeks behind but they're working hard to getting everything cut.
Also, out of the blue, Tanya gave me an unrelated tidbit of info that she said I could share if I verified it. More on that in a few paragraphs.
Animal Control
It's been a while since we've checked in on animal control so I went down there to visit with Terry Parsons. As it turned out, I was lucky he wasn't there. Lucehia told me that they saved 30 dogs just last night by transporting them to Golden Valley, Minnesota. I'm sure they'll find great homes up there. As for Terry, I saw him pulling out of City Hall just after I left his place. He had a giant pallet of Cat Litter in the back of his truck. No doubt if I had been running fifteen minutes later, I would have had to think pretty fast to get out of helping him unload it.
Counseling Clinic
We've visited the Counseling Clinic's new building several times during their construction, but I somehow totally missed its completion. Well, it's all done now and they've moved in. Congrats to all involved.
Harbor Freight Tools
Now, back to Tanya at the Street Department. She told me that she had heard through the grapevine that Harbor Freight Tools was going to open on the 20th of this month, but suggested I get it verified before posting anything publicly. You should understand that I look at tools with the same sort of eye as Imelda Marcos looked at shoes. I've been searching for a good excuse to visit Harbor Freight and this sounded like just the ticket. So, I drove down there and walked straight in like I actually belonged. It's a busy place, a lot of work going on both inside and out, but, unbelievably, they welcomed me with smiles and outstretched hands. Friendly folks. When I expressed shock at the size of the place, they told me that it was actually larger than the Little Rock store. Fantastic! And the best news of all is that they are, in fact, going to open on the 20th. I can almost hear Tim "The Tool-Man" Taylor grunting.

A Quick Study with Derek Mui
About A Quick Study
This ongoing series is aimed at getting to know what motivates and inspires UBC students about their learning — inside and outside the classroom.
On self-exploration, personal growth, leadership, Michael Buble, and Settlers.
Meet Derek Mui, Commerce student.
Why UBC?
DM: At first, UBC was the practical choice. Being raised in Vancouver and having your much older brother graduate from UBC 10 years ago, it just "made sense." But, I think it was about second year that it truly started to feel like the right choice – my choice.
What are you studying and why?
DM: I still consider myself a hybrid student. Having spent more time in the Faculty of Arts studying Economics and Psychology, and now studying Human Resources in the Sauder School of Business, I can proudly say that I have embraced my time in both faculties. When I initially applied for UBC, I knew I wanted to pursue a degree that would allow me to help people become better versions of themselves. And, through pursuing Human Resources and Psychology, it has allowed me to gain a better understanding of human behaviour, and how to effectively communicate with different individuals.
To go into university with the expectation of immediately finding what you're passionate about is totally unrealistic. Self-exploration takes time and patience. It takes trial and error, which may seem daunting at times. And, I guess you could say that it took a while for me to find my niche, but now that I have, I can proudly say that I am happy with what I am learning. But really, your "Next Step" doesn't have to be a conventional one – that's what this year's SLC is all about!
What are your favourite hangouts on campus?
DM: Currently, I spend most of my time in the Centre for Student Involvement and Careers. It's essentially the hub for the UBC Student Leadership Conference Planning Committee. It never fails to bring a smile to my face, especially if I'm having a rough day.
For people watching? The quiet study area on the 4th floor of Koerner Library overlooking Koerner Plaza – especially, when students are rushing to their next class and you're just sitting there observing the ebb and flow of the crowd. It's quite calming!
What has to happen for you to lose yourself in your work?
DM: I have to be passionate about what I am doing. I have to understand why I am doing it, and derive some form of meaning. And, honestly, I don't know if I can say that I have ever experienced this. Perhaps I have, but whenever I get asked if I've personally experienced Flow, I sadly draw a blank.
What is one thing you'd like to share about leadership that you have learned during your time planning the Leadership Conference at UBC?
DM: I think the most important thing I have learned from spending countless hours with the SLC Planning Committee is how leadership can come from such a diverse group of individuals. We are all so different and have such varied experiences to offer one another that the perspectives are endless! Yet, regardless of what you study, where you come from or where you are now, the bonds you form while planning for this one event will uncover the qualities you share to help shape the identity of the committee, and ultimately, the conference.
I never truly considered myself to be a leader up until quite recently. Leadership is a word that always seems to be so abstract – or, at least to me. Through childhood, adolescence, and now, young adulthood, I am only now coming to terms with who I am – not who I think I should be – and realizing the value in listening to my own voice instead of everyone else's. It's been a matter of believing in myself and embracing my idiosyncrasies, and I can attribute this new sense of self-confidence to the encouragement I've received from this year's committee.
What's on your playlist these days?
DM: For finals, I study best by listening to the same song over and over again. This term, it just so happens to be the Nelly & Kelly smash hit from the early 00's! I could never get sick of it, and it keeps me focused on my work. Not to mention, I'm a sucker for the old school R&B throwbacks. For the holiday season, I'll probably be playing Michael Buble's Christmas album.
Where do you go for inspiration?
DM: I think back into my past. I think about where I was at the beginning of university, where I was in high school, where I was in elementary, and then think about where I am now. It's amazing how much I have grown. You'll often hear me say that I am a constant. And that I will always be the person who has withstood the hands of time – that if you leave me for a decade and come back to check-up on me, I will be the same ditsy person I've always been. But that is what has changed. The fact that I am able to fully admit to my laughable moments of stupidity, and not be scared that people will judge me for it.
I have faced several setbacks during my 21 years of living, but so has everyone else. The mere fact that we have made it as far as we have today, is inspiration within itself. The adversity that had to be overcome, whether handled poorly or gracefully, all contribute to a lifelong learning process. I am still a work in progress. I will never stop being a student. I may not be perfect, but I will always try to be better. And I am more than OK with that.
The time when you had second thoughts?
DM: When do I not have second thoughts? Right, never. Second guessing is essentially a part of who I am. In the past, I let my introspection debilitate my ability to pursue opportunities that interest me. But now, I ignore the unhealthy thoughts and push myself to step out of my comfort zone whenever possible.
It's pretty normal to doubt yourself. It's a sign that you care about what you're doing. And it's still one of the characteristics I value most about myself.
What are you really looking forward to doing over the holidays?
DM: I am seriously looking forward to my childhood friends coming home for the holidays! It's been a couple years since we have all been in the same city at the same time. Probably two years ago? Maybe even longer than that? It's amazing how time has passed, yet whenever we get together, it feels like we have only been separated a couple months ago. And like that one quote says, you know you've found great friends when you can grow separately without growing apart.
Oh! And to answer the question, we will be popping a bottle of Shiraz (or two), and screaming at each other over a game of Settlers of Catan.
Any special holiday wishes for the UBC community?
DM: Slow down. Indulge in happiness and laughter. All of it. With family, with friends, and maybe even with strangers – I promise they're not all scary.

With Spring Training on the horizon, MLB.com is taking an in-depth look at the 2018 Padres, breaking the team down position-by-position. We conclude our series by previewing San Diego's bullpen.
• Around the Horn series: C | 1B | 2B | SS | 3B | LF | CF | RF | SP
SAN DIEGO -- Brad Hand is still a San Diego Padre. So, too, is Craig Stammen.
Four months ago, the Padres seemed destined for a major bullpen shake-up, with two of their top arms potentially on the move. Instead, pitchers and catchers are slated to report to Spring Training next week, and San Diego's bullpen saw only a minor restructuring.
Stammen re-upped with the Padres for two years and $4.5 million in January. Hand, who has been the subject of trade speculation for a year and a half, later inked a three-year extension, keeping him on board through 2020.
Hand is coming off a career year, in which he made his first All-Star Game and posted a 2.16 ERA. He's proven extremely durable, as well. Since his arrival in San Diego two years ago, only Addison Reed has pitched in more games across the Majors.
"I haven't been around a pitcher that takes the ball as willingly and as often," said Padres manager Andy Green in reference to Hand. "He needs to be on the mound. He wants to be on the mound every single day. That's the guy you want impacting ... the young guys you have coming through the system. I'd love to see Brad be a part of championship-winning clubs here in San Diego."
Hand is expected to slot into the Padres' closer role, as he did during the second half of the 2017 season. Stammen, meanwhile, will fill a role similar to last year's, where he served as something of a late-inning escape artist.
Joining Hand and Stammen at the back end of San Diego's bullpen are Phil Maton, Kazuhisa Makita and Kirby Yates. Makita is the most interesting name of the bunch. Signed for two years from the Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, Makita notched a 1.91 ERA over the past two seasons. His extreme sidearm delivery will be a challenge for right-handed hitters.
"[Makita] is a guy that probably brings up dirt when he throws," Green said. "It's from way underneath. The beauty of the way the bullpen is right now is: You've got a dominant lefty in Brad Hand, you've got a guy in Craig Stammen who sinks the baseball, throws a slider off that, gets ground ball after ground ball. You've got Makita for a different look. ... You have so much variety to choose from that if you're actually any good at managing, you can utilize those guys in situations they should flourish. That's definitely exciting for me."

Hand, Stammen, Makita, Yates and Maton are all favorites for the Opening Day roster. After them, things get murkier. Don't be surprised if the Padres pull from their starting mix to find a long man -- someone in the mold of Jordan Lyles or Matt Strahm. That leaves a handful of effective relievers fighting for two spots, at most.
That group consists of: Buddy Baumann, Carter Capps, Jose Torres, Kyle McGrath, Miguel Diaz, Colten Brewer, Tom Wilhelmsen and Brad Wieck.
San Diego is optimistic that Capps is ready to bounce back from his recent struggles. This year marked his first offseason having fully recovered from his Tommy John surgery in 2016. He's used it to hone his quirky mechanics.
But if Hand is the only other lefty in the Padres' bullpen, it's possible that the club might lean toward Baumann, Torres or McGrath for the final relief job. With an excess of options, don't be surprised if the bullpen battle comes down to the final day of camp.
Projected closer: Hand
Projected setup men: Makita, Stammen, Maton, Yates
On the bubble: Baumann, Capps, Torres, McGrath, Diaz, Brewer, Brad Wieck, Lyles, Strahm

Chile: Explosive device placed at 7th Precinct in Valparaíso
from the press, transl waronsociety:
At around 12:30 PM on the afternoon of this Tuesday March 27, a homemade bomb was found in front of the gate of the 7th Precinct of Valparaíso, home to the region's Special Forces (FFEE).
An agent of the carabineros that was making routine rounds outside the Precinct found some bags with a suspicious package in front of the gate, and then gave warning to GOPE.
After the arrival of GOPE along with LABOCAR, they carried out the security procedure and evacuated the area. Then, at around 2 PM the bastards "managed to" deactivate the device (the quotes are because the police always say that they deactivate the bombs when they explode, but in reality the majority of times it remains obvious by the same press that when the bombs do not activate it is because they are false).
After the operation for the discovery of the device, the police carried out inspections in all the police stations in the city for fear that there were more bombs in other quarters.
The homemade bomb was composed of a 2-kilo gas canister (camping type), full of black powder which was activated by an electrical circuit with a timer and a battery. All this inside of a bag.
Also responding to the place were the region's governor, Pablo Zúñiga, and the prosecutor José Miguel Subiabre.
The prosecutor said to the press that "We again face a bomb that has a mechanical activation, with a timer that is attached to a battery in order to with the copper finally activate a light bulb that acts as detonator, in order to finally cause explosion. One can see in the container that there is clear residue that would be black powder and that they are similar devices to those that have been investigated in this area as much as in Santiago."
In the place no leaflets were found alluding to any claim of responsibility, but according to the police and the prosecutor this act had direct relation with the commemoration of the Day of the Combatant Youth.

The Winter Boot Trend Fashion Girls Are Obsessed With
Fashion girls know how to make, well, everything look chic and effortless. One item we aspire to pull off with a similar panache is winter boots. Let's face it, most of the time we look and/or feel clunky in weather-appropriate styles as they don't exactly look awesome with our everyday attire.

The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance), a not-for-profit product development partnership accelerating the discovery and development of new drugs to fight tuberculosis (TB), announced at the Global Health Council Conference today that four drug discovery collaboration agreements have been signed. All four projects have the potential to generate compounds active against drug-resistant tuberculosis and show promise to advance the science of TB drug development.
"These partnerships show that the TB Alliance is aggressively increasing the depth and strength of its portfolio to ensure that promising new TB drug candidates continue moving toward the clinic," said Dr. Mel Spigelman, CEO of the TB Alliance. "Tuberculosis is responsible for the death of one person approximately every 20 seconds - and there is a significant need for novel medications to combat growing bacterial resistance to current drugs and to reduce the duration and complexity of therapy."
These recent discovery partnerships include programs with:
- Anacor Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company developing small-molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform, to explore a novel anti-bacterial drug target for use in tuberculosis therapy. Under the agreement, Anacor will provide the TB Alliance with a non-exclusive, royalty-free worldwide license for any compounds ultimately registered for a TB indication. Compounds that attack novel targets have the potential to be effective against drug-resistant disease.
- Colorado State University to test whether inhibition of menaquinone biosynthesis - a key component of the energy generation system in M. tuberculosis (M.tb) - has the potential to eradicate the disease in vivo. The compounds, first developed as cholesterol synthesis inhibitors, will be "retro-designed" via cycles of synthetic medicinal chemistry and evaluated as inhibitors of menaquinone biosynthesis and bacterial growth. The most promising compounds will be employed in an animal model of TB, and a more advanced discovery program could be developed if the studies are successful. Inhibition of menaquinone biosynthesis is a novel approach and therefore compounds that inhibit this process have the potential to be effective against drug-resistant disease.
- Institute of Microbiology (IMCAS), a member institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to discover and develop novel anti-TB agents from natural sources, including microbial metabolites and traditional Chinese medicines. IMCAS will test 24 natural product extracts with potential anti-tubercular activity and will collaborate to further test these extracts, purify and identify the active components, and develop those that prove most promising. The deficiency in natural product screening directly against M.tb combined with China's strong track record of successfully developing new drugs from traditional Chinese medicines, suggest that such screenings may yield novel active compounds, which would have the potential to be effective against drug-resistant disease.
- New York Medical College to explore the type 1 topoisomerase (Topo 1) enzyme that facilitates the unwinding of DNA, which is required during normal cell processes. (The type II topoisomerase DNA gyrase is already a proven target for anti-tuberculosis therapy.) The goals of the Topo I program are to determine, using genetic techniques, whether inhibiting Topo I would kill tuberculosis bacteria, as for DNA gyrase, and to develop a method to identify Topo I inhibitors. Since bacterial Topo I is a new drug target, inhibitors that kill tuberculosis bacteria have potential for use against both drug sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Every year, nearly 9 million people worldwide fall ill with TB and nearly 1.8 million people died from the disease in 2007 alone. It is estimated that the bacillus that causes TB infects one-third of the world's population and the threat of drug-resistance is growing at an alarming rate. TB hits the some of the world's most vulnerable populations and devastates whole families, villages and even whole nations. New, faster-acting, simpler drug regimens are critical to defeating this ancient disease. The TB Alliance is leading this global effort, discovering and developing new compounds and acting as a catalyst to encourage information sharing and coordinated efforts among all organizations involved in finding new treatments.

Properties sold faster in March — at a median of 55 days — due to low inventories of homes for sale nationwide, according to the latest REALTORS® Confidence Index. The index is based on a survey of more than 3,800 REALTORS® about their transactions in March.
About 37 percent of real estate professionals report that properties sold in March had been on the market for less than a month. In February, 34 percent of practitioners reported the same.
Buyer traffic was also up in March, although demand was softer than a year ago, according to the report.
Still, REALTOR® confidence about current market conditions ticked up in March, reflecting a typical seasonal increase. Their confidence about the outlook for the next six months also improved but is lower than what it was a year ago, according to the report. The biggest concerns among REALTORS® remain low levels of inventories, tight credit conditions, and uncertainty about flood insurance regulation, according to the REALTORS® Confidence Index.
REALTORS® continue to be confident that prices will increase over the next 12 months but at a "modest pace." They expect prices to increase at a median of about 4 percent over the next 12 months. The states that have the most optimism about price increases — expecting increases of about 5 percent to 7 percent over the next 12 months — are California, Oregon, Nevada, Georgia, Florida, and Hawaii. States that expect a 3 percent to 5 percent price increase are Washington, North Dakota, Texas, Michigan, New York, and the Washington, D.C., metro area.
"Low inventory compared to demand is expected to continue to buttress prices, as well as the declining share of distressed sales in the market," the report notes.

Below is an infographic that I created illustrating the lack of parity in the Billboard Top 100 Charts.
Here are the numbers:
- Pop – 30 Songs
- Rap – 9 Songs
- Hip Hop – 23 Songs
- Rock – 8 Songs
- Country – 24 Songs
- Electronic – 6 Songs
As you can see, Pop, Country, and Hip Hop genres have a stranglehold on the Top 100. These three genres make up 77 of the 100 songs on the Billboard Top 100 Charts.But does being on the Top 100 mean the song is 'good' to the general populace? Let's look at how the Billboard Top 100 charts are tabulated.
This is from a September 29th, 2013 article named 'Ask Billboard: How Does The Hot 100 Work?'
Article writer, Gary Thrust, replies to the question with this:
As we wrote in January when YouTube data was added to the Hot 100's equation: "Generally speaking, our Hot 100 formula targets a ratio of sales (35-45%), airplay (30-40%) and streaming (20-30%)."
Of course, that's an overall target for 100 songs each week. That mark can change week-to-week. This week, though, the Hot 100 breaks down in line with the formula's intent: sales, 39%; airplay, 34%; and, streaming, 27%.
And, week-to-week, some songs show largely along those percentages, while others skew noticeably toward any of the chart's three metrics.
So it is hard to determined what 'good' is in this instance, or really any instance, because songs from already popular artists will get the most airplay, likely the most streaming, and the previous two 'metrics' will eventually lead to an uptick in sales. Yet each of the three metrics can make up any percentage of the equation (the above is just a 'general' example), and each metric fluctuates every week as Thrust continues:
This week [September 29th, 2013], points for the Hot 100's leader stem 50% from streaming, 43% from sales and just 7% from radio airplay. No surprise: the song drew a whopping 14.3 million U.S. streams in the chart's tracking week, according to Nielsen BDS. (The No. 2-streamed song, Katy Perry's "Roar," garnered 7.3 million.) "Ball" ranks at No. 3 on Digital Songs with 301,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Conversely, as airplay for "Ball" is just beginning, its low Hot 100 points percentage reflects its No. 31 spot on Radio Songs (via 38 million all-format audience impressions, according to BDS).
'Wrecking Ball' is the song that usurped Katy Perry's 'Roar' because of breaking a YouTube record of first day views (12.3 Million), which demonstrates the shift from radio to Internet for music that has been happening for over a decade. It is just more recognizable now because of the large difference between 50% streaming and 7% radio airplay; it also helps that Cyrus has an, ahem, 'interesting' music video that draws the streaming views.
So what are the keys to reaching the Top 100 in the Billboard charts?
- Create a captivating music video
Have a generic sound and cheap lyrics
- Put more importance on online streaming and sales than radio airplay (What Millennials willingly listen to the radio?)
- Build a loyal and enormous fan base
- Not always necessary but helpful if you are a part of Country, Hip-hop, or Pop genres

Looking for Alcohol Rehab? Ask These Questions First
Overcoming alcoholism and starting alcohol rehab is a process that takes ongoing commitment and professional support. From the early days of crisis intervention and detox through to the later stages of aftercare, each element of treatment has an important role to play. The entire treatment process is often referred to as rehabilitation, with this term also used to describe specific medical and psychotherapeutic interventions. Access to individual recovery programs depends on many things, including the substance and extent of addiction and the operational philosophy of each rehab center.
What to Ask When Looking for Alcohol Rehab
If you're struggling with alcoholism, it's important to ask the right questions so you can find the best treatment facility for your needs. Let's start here:
What is Alcohol Rehab?
Alcoholism is also known as alcohol use disorder, with this single classification previously referred to as either alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence. Alcoholism is a serious problem that often requires professional treatment, including addiction intervention, detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare support measures. While detox helps people to stop drinking in a safe and secure medical setting, rehab is also needed to address the psychological aspects of alcoholism.
Depending on the individual and institution in question, alcohol rehab programs can be based on pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy principles, with these two treatment models often combined. Rehabilitation centers offer a wide selection of structured programs, from day treatment and partial hospitalization through to inpatient services and residential hospitalization.
Questions to Ask About Alcohol Rehab
There are many questions that are worth asking before deciding on a rehab program. First and foremost, it's important to find an addiction treatment program with appropriate accreditation. Because licensing differs from state to state and country to country, it may be necessary to contact healthcare bodies in your local area to find the information you're looking for.
Before entering rehab, it's also important to understand the differences between inpatient and outpatient treatment. While inpatient programs provide the most comprehensive level of coverage, not everyone has enough time or finances to commit to a live-in program. In contrast, outpatient programs allow patients to live at their usual home address while attending treatment sessions on a periodic basis. Rehabilitation centers also differ widely regarding client to counselor ratio, therapy options, access to medication and much more.
Recovery Programs During Rehab
A wide selection of recovery programs are initiated during rehab, from intensive medication regimes through to behavioral therapy and family counseling. While the prescription of sedative drugs is often limited to the detox phase of treatment, benzodiazepines, Antabuse, Campral, and naltrexone may also be available during rehab in some cases. Rehab facilities may also offer different psychotherapeutic support programs, with typical treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, motivational interviewing, and contingency management.
Rehab programs are typically based on cognitive, behavioral, or motivational methods, with some programs also providing spiritual and practical support. Relapse prevention and other aftercare programs also play an important role during treatment, including conventional 12-step support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and dedicated sober living communities. While breaking the bonds of alcoholism can be difficult, having access to a professional rehab center can make all the difference.

Chandigarh: Railways have penalised 11 people misusing the free WiFi facility at railway station without having a valid ticket. Railways have initiated the drive to to check the misuse of the facility. On day one railways penalized 11 people imposing a total fine of Rs 2430.
Chandigarh station superintendent T P Singh said that it was observed that some free buffs have been misusing the facility at the railway station. During the drive it was discovered that 11 such people penalized did not hold any type of valid tickets, neither passenger ticket and nor platform ticket.
Singh said, "The free wifi facility is purely for the facility of the legitimate passengers or those who buy platform ticket. As at present the facility is being provided to those who even have the platform ticket but later the password will be provided only after entering the PNR number. To check the misuse a drive has been initiated to drive away the violators."
Recently a joint venture of RailTel and Google, wifi routers were fitted at platforms to give free internet access to the passengers either waiting on the platforms or in waiting halls. The free wifi facility was passed on to the passengers in August. Three routers have been fixed at each platform.
The facility did gave initial jerks but later it started functioning smoothly. The facility which was to be availed by sending a message to a particular number and then adding the PNR number to get a password for first hour.
However at present the password is being received without entering the PNR number because of which the access was made available to all. One of the railway official said that people from nearby colonies also started using the facility while loitering on the platforms.
The internet access on PNR number is free till passenger boards the train and on platform ticket for two hours, the validity of the ticket. Railway officials also said that the free wifi facility is only to be provided to those holding train ticket.
The project is being managed by RailTel, a public sector undertaking, and Google. The officials said the collaboration between the RailTel and Google delayed the process.
Officials said that the Wi-Fi services will be free for the first 60 minutes for 24 hours period, following which it will be chargeable.
By November, various projects, including installation work of four lifts and escalators on the Panchkula side, work of double-lining of the Dappar-Chandigarh track would be completed, he said.

Reader Question: A Greener Way to Pick Up Dog Poop
Good Morning Everyone! This week's question is from Heidi in Ann Arbor. She's begun to compost more and more of her family's waste for her garden. Now she would like to start composting the dog poop that she picks up on her daily walks with her 2 dogs and her toddler. My first thought was to use a child's sand bucket and just "scoop the poop" into it and then dump it in the compost when she returns home. But, when you're trying corral 2 dogs and a stroller, it's tricky to add a sand bucket and a scooper to the mix. So, I came across this excellent post from The Green Life: a pet lover's perspective on living healthy and green. This post is full of resources for biodegradable dog poop bags that can be easily composted along with the dog poop.
Check it out here!
And, as a follow up to last week's post, a reader recommended Trader Joe's liquid laundry detergent. It is concentrated, so the small jug contains many cleaning loads, just be sure not to use too much with each load. It is eco-friendly and at minimum it removes stains as well as regular detergents. Try it!
Have a great week!

Frankfurt-Rhein-Main has a lot to offer the younger set – parks, zoos and other day excursions that will delight children of all ages. Here is a selection of children's activities – including a few weekend excursions – throughout the region.
All Aboard
Thanks to Deutsche Bahn's discount weekend passes (Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket), train travel has become a popular pastime again. Kids love trains, so why not take them on an excursion. The more stops, the merrier. The Kinzigtalbahn (Frankfurt-Hanau-Fulda) takes about 80 minutes as it lumbers through the beautiful countryside. The Main-Weser-Bahn (Frankfurt-Gießen-Marburg-Kassel) slowly winds its way toward north Hessen. The Vogelsbergbahn (Fulda-Alsfeld-Grünberg-Gießen) traverses the northern side of the Vogelsberg mountain range, while the Lahn-Kinzig-Bahn (Gießen-Nidda-Gelnhausen) travels the western portions of the Vogelsberg.
You can also take your bicycles on some of the trains, but check for details before buying tickets. In addition, you can get on a historical steam train (Eisenbahn), built in the first half of the 20th century, and travel from Frankfurt/Römer to Griesheim or Mainkur. The train only operates one weekend per month and doesn't operate in May, July or August.
Children's Museum
The Kinder-Akademie Fulda is the country's only independent children's museums and is also one of the most creative. Children can touch, play and experiment with numerous artistic, technical and scientific objects. The "heart" of the museum is the walk-through heart, the only one in Europe, designed to teach kids - and adults - the anatomy of this vital organ. The Academy offers workshops in which children, under the instruction of KAF staff, can create their own works. Closed on Saturday.

Schloss Freudenberg
Built at the turn of the 20th century, this Neo-Classical mansion cultivates the art of perception. Located near Wiesbaden, the manor provides the perfect setting for a unique experience - and not only for children. More than 80 interactive "experience" stations awaken your senses: It is all about touching, smelling, thinking and discovering. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the Dark Bar, where drinks and food are served in complete darkness by blind waiters. This unique concept has inspired other similar venues in Germany and worldwide. Outdoors, the enchantment continues with an Aeolian harp, played by the winds, a stone labyrinth and numerous playgrounds. Closed on Monday, except between June and August.

Grimms Fairy Tale on Stage
What better place to watch the theatrical performance of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale than in Hanau, the birthplace of Wilhelm and Jakob? Performed on an elaborate outdoor stage in the park of the Philippsruhe Castle in Hanau, the fairy tales are actually high drama with complex plots that may be missed by small children. But the staging is first rate. These German-language shows traditionally sell out very quickly, so make sure that you reserve tickets early.

Opel Zoo
The Opel Zoo, which was founded by the same family of car-building fame, is a favorite among the families living in the Taunus. Thanks to reasonably-priced annual family passes, many parents have visited the zoo more times than they care to remember. The zoo, which is located between Königstein and Kronberg, offers spacious habitats for elephants, giraffes, zebras and monkeys. In addition, there is a petting zoo and a play area, which the kids may find more strongerting than the animals. A great place to spend the day, but remember to dress warmly: the Zoo sits in a valley and temperatures can be chilly. Open daily.
Königsteiner Straße 35, 61476 Kronberg im Taunus
Tel: 06173-3259030
Wildpark Alte Fasanerie
This wildlife park in Hanau offers countless thematic activities for families. The huge complex accommodates several outstanding features, such as a forest museum, a theatre stage in the wilderness, a Celtic tree horoscope and Hessen's largest high-rope course, not to mention countless mammals, birds and domestic animals.
Rodenbacher Chaussee 10a, 63457 Frankfurt
Tel: 06181-3640699
Freizeitpark Lochmühle
At the Freizeitpark Lochmühle, a vast array of rides spin about, fly through the air and otherwise give kids a thrill. This is a large family-owned amusement park with countless playgrounds, petting zoos and water games. Pony rides and some of the attractions are at an additional price to the general admission price. There are also large picnic and grill areas, which have to be reserved in advance. Open daily from March to October and located in Wehrheim (off the B 456).
The Zwermann family also owns a similar leisure park in Steinau, which is East Hessen's largest amusement park. Both parks are open daily from March to October..

One of the most popular amusement parks in Hessen is Taunuswunderland in Schlangenbad. This privately-owned park, spread over 40,000 sqm, has all the activities that guarantee a good time for the little ones. The park offers a white-water roller coaster, a fairy-tale forest, a petting zoo (with kangaroos!) and plenty of other attractions for the entire family. There are several restaurants on site, but you can also bring your own lunch and enjoy it in the picnic area. The park is open daily from March to October.
Tel: 06124-40 81
Vacation on a Working Farm
Small children love barnyard animals, so why not try a bed and breakfast on a working farm for a family vacation? Many of these family-owned hotels offer a wide range of outdoor activities - including horse riding, swimming, hiking, tennis and bicycle tours. But for the small children, the greatest thrill is getting up close and personal with goats, cows and chickens. Most farms offer reasonably-priced weekly rates. To order a current brochure, call the Hessen Tourism Association at 0611 - 774 80 91 or consult:
Equestrian Holidays
Despite their imposing stature, horses are beloved by children. Whether your youngest wants to ride a horse for the first time or your teenager wishes to gallop for hours in the wilderness, Hessen is perfect for equestrian activities. Several horse farms across the region offer opportunities for adults and whole families, ranging from a long weekend to an entire week. There are countless possibilities for beginners and experts alike: in the Vogeslberg, along the Rhön river, in the picturesque town of Bad Hersfeld during the theatrical festival ... the choice is yours!

upgrading water and central heating programmer
I currently have a honeywell programmeer which I can select to have set for once twice or continuous. Problem is it has to be the same for water and c/h and we dont need hot water too much. Looking around I found the Drayton LP722 for £51.99.
Was wondering if that was a good choice or if there's a better choice out there for me.
Thanks in advance

See?! See?! This is precisely what I was saying when that trailer first came out. He even references the same Wookieepedia article that I used, "Category: Lightsaber-resistant materials"!
People think I'm crazy, but I'm not.

You are, of course, assuming the movie and/or producers won't be mega-retarded which may be giving them a LOT of benefit of the doubt.
You know all the air will be sucked from the cinema at the midnight premier when the cross guard get's slashed off leaving naught but popped out eyeballs and deflected anger.
- 2015-01-19
But slashing off the crossguard would require the film have a level of self-awareness that's far beyond what Star Wars can be expected to have.
infinite zest
- 2015-01-19
But if they had lightsabre-resistant materials like gloves for the crossguard, why not just make a whole suit out of it and wear that instead of flimsy robes?
- 2015-01-19
That would be Mandalorian armor. Unfortunately, Mandalorian iron is both rare and expensive, and finding artisans capable of crafting it into proper suits of armor is rarer still, particularly in the years following the rise of the weak, decadent, and self-serving New Mandalorians.
Remember: even under the best of conditions, Mandalorians love to hate the Jedi Order. Getting a nice suit of beskar steel, while not impossible, is highly improbable; roughly analogous to a European knight coming into possession of a fine Japanese katana.
- 2015-01-19
Another thing worth pointing out is that few Jedis, at least since the days of the Old Republic, have ever had to fight a serious, life-or-death battle against another lightsaber-armed opponent. Even during the Great Purge, Jedis were hunted mostly by Clone Troopers and robots. The extra protection afforded by Mandalorian armor simply wasn't necessary.
- 2015-01-19
Finally, Jedi are notoriously stupid and resistant to change. The Jedi Order is highly orthodox and conformist in nature, establishing strict, caste-based, almost medieval social orders that remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years. Simple innovations like, oh, say, *a frakking crossguard for your sword* escaped them for all this time. Why would they ever do something so radical and inventive as to develop armor for themselves?
infinite zest
- 2015-01-19
Ah ya, that makes sense; it goes back to my old RPG argument: the world is doomed and everybody knows that you're the only person who can save it, so WHY ARE YOU CHARGING ME FOR THE BUTTERFLY EDGE? Seems like most battles in Star Wars are a little more spontaneous, and even if the Dark Side won, it wouldn't really effect local merchants any more than a republican victory. Just so long as they don't get their planet blowed up.
- 2015-01-19
You have lightsaber resistant armour? I'll just crush your throat or throw you down a well using the force. See ya.
- 2015-01-20
Well yes, that's something else too. The Sith are capable of doing so much more than just waving their lightsabers around; what would armor matter to a fistfull of force lightning? Jedi, being stupid, are of course incapable of thinking outside the box like that, but the Sith's innovative approach to problem solving would have rendered their enemy's armor far less effective. Perhaps this is why Dark Side practitioners are more prone to being depicted with armor, and Jedi less so - because the Jedi knew they'd have no chance against the superior tactical prowess of their Sith opponents anyway.
- 2015-01-19
I'm so glad we have experts to help us navigate confusion over important issues that keep us up at night such as this one.
- 2015-01-19
+3 for skallagrim, but this subject is beyond nauseatingly stupid.
Obviously it's made out of mandolorian iron, since cortosis would short circuit the lightsaber and it would never be able to initialize.
infinite zest
- 2015-01-19
Another thing is that people are assuming that our hooded friend's hand would slip in the first place, like he's never had a day of lightsabre training. Maybe some of you are good with swords, but if I tried to do even the simplest trick with a blade of any shape I'd probably be typing this one-handed. Seems like by that logic, you could say all swords, lightsabres or real, are inherently flawed because you could fall on it or cut yourself.
- 2015-01-19
I mentioned that in a previous video. Hand slippage is definitely a problem with guardless swords, particularly during thrusts, but I do not believe it would be much of a concern to a lightsaber wielder. The blades are practically massless, and I doubt there would be much, if any, deceleration when you thrust one into a target. It is also possible that the notches and seemingly pointless embellishments on a traditional lightsaber handle could provide the friction and leverage needed to stop one's hand from slipping up the blade; Scholagladiatoria recently did a video on Gurkha kukris, a weapon which is famously sans guard, wherein he argued that the raised bands found on antique kukri handles served this very purpose.

A customer traveled all the way from the state of Iowa to Upper Sandusky, Ohio (over 600 miles) to have a new aluminum roller shutter door installed in his vehicle.
Dover Roller Shutters removed the existing door and installed a new 2EB roller shutter to the rear of a service truck. The removal and install took about three hours and the customer was on his way back to Iowa.
The 2EB is designed to span the larger openings and the use of the Double Handle Lock provided a secure easy access to the rear compartment.
Once the customer returned home he wrote, "I just wanted to take a minute and send a note thanking you and your company for the help you gave me. You guys went above and beyond! Please pass along my thanks to your boss. Rob."
Another happy customer.

I haven't blogged in quite a while (like 1.5 years), and I need to start again before I leave for Australia, which is in 5 days. Yeah, I'm a bit of a procrastinator. But things get in the way, like life.
So to restart my blog, I will be telling you all about my last trip out of Yellowstone. I spent 5 wonderful seasons working in Yellowstone National Park, 1800 miles away from my home in Ohio, and each was very special. The rundown goes like this:
|Park service internship in fisheries
|Server at Canyon General Store
|Sales associate at Canyon Adventures
|Old Faithful
|Server at Old Faithful Basin Store
I had the opportunity to work at several locations and with amazing people every year. I have so many wonderful memories of the park and my experiences (especially seeing that grizz at the Black Butte trailhead in 2012). But my last trip home was quite memorable.
I was planning to depart Yellowstone on October 1, 2013 with my mother who had so graciously agreed to help me drive home. As everyone knows, October 1, 2013 was a significant day in America in that the US government shut down. I won't get into the politics of it, but let's just say that the effects were felt immediately in Yellowstone. My mom and I had stayed in West Yellowstone the night of September 30 with a plan to drive through the park the next day in order to exit via the East Entrance and make our way to Cody. Well, here's what greeted us at the West Gate in the morning of October 1:
It was a massive mess. People, cars, buses, whatever were everywhere. No one was getting in. However, I was not deterred. I simply told the park ranger that I was an employee while pointing to the sticker on my car and we were waved on through.
Here's what we saw on our trip to the East Entrance on Day 1 of the government shutdown:
And on our exit from the East Entrance:
On the road to Cody:
And onward:
And this too:
We made it home a few days later, and now I'm frantically packing for Australia.


text: Today, as we are 19 months and a half (a young mom can get away with non-sense month counting like this because who would dare stop us), I just couldn't stop looking at these kids. These superhero versions of Scott and I. We went to the state fair and they ate corn on the cob. They drank out of water bottles. The ran. They laughed. They walked into the calf showing barn while everyone talked in hushed tones while the cows were "shown" and yelled "MOOOOO" at the top of their lungs, and had a smile on their face the whole time. We ended our day on the fast and furiously dizzy carousel... the five of us. Quinn gripping his mama like the boat is sinking, Harper firm and steady on her winning horse - no smiles, all business. And Gracie full of glee, happy to be the baby. And us, we are so happy. So happy to be their parents. Not always happy with their actions, the day or the weather that life brings. But always, always happy to be their mommy and daddy.
