Hi again superb JotForm Support Team!
Please help me make textboxes very fit or compact.
I hope the view of my very small textboxes will be compressed to each other so that they will look like a calendar design, this is only possible on desktop PCs and NOT on smaller devices. Please HELP...
Please see the sample perfect textboxes calendar design-like below.
I hope that it will also show on smaller devices...
Here's the photos I have using different smartphones and 1 tablet.
Portrait/vertical view in 5-inch android phone
Horizontal view in 5-inch android phone
Horizontal view in iPhone 6
Horizontal view in 5.2 inch android phone
This is the view in JotForm Designer...as you can see textboxes are not compressed...
Here's my form.
I hope that it will also be possible to compress the textboxes in WordPress page...
As I've mentioned above, compressed textboxes in my WordPress page is possible only on desktop PCs like the photo below...
I will wait for your quick and great assistance ever!
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on April 05, 2016 at 05:33 AM
The form is too complex and the easiest way to fix the alignment would be to move the table boxes for 12:00 to 23:30 to the new line, below the row of 11:30. The table is too wide and won't fit on mobile devices. This needs a major adjustment in the custom CSS codes because they are not in a column in general but only align through field positioning.
Example: https://form.jotform.com/60952370966969.
I'll do my best to adjust this and let you know.
- BJ2Answered on April 05, 2016 at 05:45 AM
Hi Sir Welvin!
Thanks for your kind help!
Does your first suggestion can be perfectly fit in small devices like android and ios smartphones and tablets???
But does it have special CSS codes to make this really fit and not far apart from each textbox when viewing on smartphones and tablets in WordPress Page???
I will wait for your best solution.
Thank you as always!
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on April 05, 2016 at 06:50 AM
Yes, please check my cloned version of your form. I've modified it to fit it on mobile devices. This form: https://form.jotform.com/60952370966969.
Yes, a custom CSS codes are required to fit the textboxes. Otherwise, they'll be scrambled on mobile view.
- BJ2Answered on April 05, 2016 at 07:06 AM
Hi Sir Welvin!
WOW! You're the best!
A millllliiioon thanks for solving my problem! Wew!
By the way, can this be fit also in iPhones???
I have checked the Designer, but the phone simulator there shows broken table.. huhu
Please check the phone below.
I will wait again. Thank youuuu
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on April 05, 2016 at 07:30 AM
You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help. You have to view the form using the actual device. I'm not sure why the preview looks like that, but I can verify that the layout is good on the actual device.

Leather jacket | Mango Kids
Cami top & heels | Zara
Leigh Jeans | Topshop Petite
Bag | Mulberry
It's been a few good months since 2 of my closest friends graduated and I feel like we have all grown up so quickly. I'm thankful for having both of them in my life and growing up together since we were 13. (It's been 10 years since we've known each other!) Now that we have all starting working and not able to meet as much as we used to when were kids, I'm glad we still have each other's backs.
Now on to the outfit! I love grey almost as much as grey and I like it that unlike black, there are many shades of grey. This grey cami is probably one of my favourite cami tops. It's in this gorgeous shade of grey and after so many years, I still love it loads and get tons of wear out of it. I don't think I'll ever not be on the hunt for a lovely grey cami.
Thanks for reading!

Listen to this article
Theresa May has indicated that free movement of EU citizens to Britain could continue for a period after Brexit, as she eyes an "implementation phase" after 2019 while new border systems and a trade deal are put in place.
Mrs May, on a visit to Saudi Arabia, has subtly adjusted her language in recent days to bring her more closely into line with the EU negotiating position, which states that no trade deal can be concluded until after Britain leaves.
She also appeared to concede that Britain might have to comply with European Council president Donald Tusk's demand that the EU's "core principles", including over immigration, would have to apply during any transition period.
Although Mrs May insisted that the UK would have control over its borders in any transition, the phrasing suggested that immigration from the EU could continue until after the next British election in 2020.
Asked directly to "rule out free movement in any transitional period once we leave the EU", May said: "You've used the phrase transitional phase; I have used the phrase implementation period," she said.
"If you think about it, once we've got the deal, once we've agreed what the new relationship will be for the future, it will be necessary for there to be a period of time when businesses and governments are adjusting systems and so forth, depending on the nature of the deal, a period of time during which that deal will be implemented."

Some of my absolute favorite things are vintage table linens. I don't care if they are tablecloths or napkins, runners or placemats - I adore them! I especially love the printed linens from the 50's. Each one is so individual - and just plain spunky! I think that they make even the most ordinary table more fun to sit at.
Usually these tablecloths will be printed with fruit or flowers, but sometimes you'll luck out and find an interesting print or even a state souvenir cloth!
Everytime I go to a garage sale, flea market, or antique sale I'm scouting for one of these beauties. My husband doesn't understand the fascination at all, he really doesn't even like tablecloths, but at least he does love me so he doesn't say a word.

Ghost Hunts At Hack Green
Paranormal groups are welcome to explore Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker.
There have been a number of television and radio investigations including "Most Haunted" at the bunker complex. In this vast complex, the labyrinth of corridors and rooms seem to hold more secrets than just military ones. From the Great Fire of Nantwich and the Civil War through two world wars and into the potential Nuclear Conflicts of the modern age, the Hack Green site has been the location of many battles and deaths for over 500 years.
We allow full access to most areas of the bunker both on the surface and deep underground, including some not normally open to the public. However, the middle floor is sealed off for security reasons.
Any visit is tailored to your individual requirements. We do not interfere and try to accommodate your particular group's needs or interests. Groups normally arrive early evening after the public has gone home, the earliest start time being 7pm.
A buffet or sandwiches can be provided for arrival or at any time in the evening. Tea and coffee can be served throughout the night. Snacks, cold drinks and souvenirs may be purchased from the shop which will be open during your visit. Let us know your requirements and we will try to help.
Catering is arranged in advance according to your choice and budget.
The bunker will be closed down and isolated in darkness. A full mandatory safety briefing and tour (if required) can be given to all participants. The tour does not reveal anything about previous ghost sightings or experiences. However, a briefing on the facts and relevant information to the paranormal visit can be given before or after to the group organiser.
Paranormal investigations and vigils normally end at 4am. The bunker is solely your domain for the whole evening and early morning. A senior member of our staff will be present all night to assist you.
Once agreed, you will need to send a non-refundable deposit of £100. About a week before your visit we will need to confirm numbers to be catered for etc.
We can guarantee total isolation from the real world and any outside influences once you are behind the blast doors and the 2 meter thick re-enforced concrete. But any success in your investigations is left to your group to find. Please note we do not provide and equipment, electrical cables/extensions or tables other than those used for sitting at in the canteen. We advise that you bring extra batteries and/or chargers, also extra cabling as there is no power to the lower level at all.
For more information please contact Lucy at [email protected]. Bookings require a minimum number of 12 people (or payment for 12). The price is £27 per person to book.
Please note: If you are a member of the public and have booked through a visiting paranormal group and your ticket price is higher than this it is because there is considerable expense in the operation of a paranormal investigations team and the additional amount added on to your ticket contributes to the extensive costs of team training, travel, insurance, equipment and administration.
Price for large groups
For groups of 50 or more, you only pay the price per head up to 50, after that it's a set low price! Just contact Lucy for details. It's a very large location so we could easily accommodate 100 people.
A note for filming
Anyone who would like to record any ghostly activity at a ghost hunt is welcome to bring and use any and all recording equipment. As long as it is for use as a record of the event for your own personal use and not for sale or reproduction. We are very fair with this rule so if you would like to post it on your website or youtube channel that's fine, but in the interest of protecting the bunker, if you would like to film/take photos/record audio etc. for other purposes or intend to use the footage in any other way please contact Lucy at [email protected], please be aware that charges may apply.
If you are a small group or individual and would like to attend one of the ghost hunts please contact one of the companies/groups below as they would be happy for you to come along.
Any other enquiries to [email protected]

This is a delicious take on traditional pesto sauce. I created this when I was craving pesto but didn't have enough basil to make a batch big enough for two. I did have a freezer full of peas though. The sweetness of the peas actually blends really well with the basil and noodles. This is a great recipe when you want to add a little more veggies to your meal.
1 cup fresh sweet peas
1/2 cup basil leaves
1 tbs grapeseed oil
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp lemon juice
Combined all ingredients in a food proccessor and blend until well mixed. It's ok to have a few chucks of peas and basil. This is not meant to be a liquidy sauce. Mix with 3 cups cooked pasta. You can top it with some parmesean cheese [making it nonvegan] or even add the cheese during the processing.

Ben Carson Questions Need for 2nd Amendment and Inadvertently Slams Trump's Faith
First on policy--the 2nd Amendment now up for grabs:
Carson: "And that's why we need to get back to a point of having civil discussions. Let's put on the table what is the reason for the 2nd Amendment and is there a reason that we need to change those things right now?" (1:36-1:50) (emphasis added)
Then on character, Carson gives a true, but inadvertently anti-Trump comment on how to tell about someone's faith (in the context of Trump criticizing Hillary's faith):
Carson: "Well, clearly a person's faith, their religion, their relationship with God, is something that should be private although it should be manifested publicly. You know the Bible says in Matthew 7:20 by their fruit you will know them. And the point that was being made there is it doesn't matter what protestations or proclamations people make. Look at the way they live. Look at the way they treat other people and the way that they do things. That will tell you all you need to know." (2:50- 3:22) (emphasis added)
Then there are the walk backs of the above statement. Why Trump's bad behavior is okay (and, undoubtedly shouldn't be used in judging Trump's faith). First, on Trump criticizing Carson's faith:
Carson: "Well, I knew why he was doing that. You know, I was challenging him for the lead, and (laughs) he didn't know what to do. He was getting kind of desperate. That's okay. I mean that's politics. People say stuff." (3:45-4:09)
Second, on questions about Judge Curiel's ethnicity and the tone of Trump's campaign:
Carson: "Well, [Trump]'s not a politician. There's no question about that. He's not going to be smooth. He's not going to lay the groundwork before he says something like a politician does. I think the average American kind of understands where he's coming from." (3:40-4:45)
So does how you treat other people show your faith or doesn't it? Maybe only if it regards people other than the candidate Ben Carson has endorsed.

How about this, Ben? You get started on that whole Constitutional amendment thing, mm-kay?
Then you can work on that whole free speech thing, after.
Possession of Ben's mouth should be a class C felony, at least.

How could I have ever supported this guy? You were so right, Max!
- MAX Redline said...
I liked him at first as well, TD. It's just that the more he talked, the less comfortable I became.
- T. D. said...
I should have picked up on the utter pragmatism and lack of clear principle when he made the analogy that an eagle needs both a left and a right wing to fly.
"The liberals represent the left wing and the conservatives represent the right wing. The liberals tend to have lots of great ideas that cost a great deal of money and, if left unchecked, would quickly bankrupt the nation. The conservatives simply want to maintain the status quo and are not very adventurous, and if our nation were left solely to their ideas, stagnation would occur. However, when you balance the right & the left wings evenly, the eagle is able to fly high and straight, and the potential for progress is tremendous."
- MAX Redline said...
Yes, that was an amazingly insipid comment. Especially as he was so wrong about conservatives and stagnation, while ignoring the disaster that Leftists have wrought.
- T. D. said...
It's people like Carson (and Palin) who have deeply wounded the conservative movement which is now split between so-called "common sense" conservatives who go by feeling from issue to issue and "Constitutuional" conservatives who make decisions on the base of core principles. The Tea Party, a mixture of the two, is a dead letter.

So. I was in. I had no cooking clue where to go. It was close to 6pm and there was no train to Kii-Katsuura which meant I needed to find a bed for the night.
When joining up as a Cove Guardian and get accepted in to the program, you are sent an information pack. One of the points covered is accommodation in Osaka. It is recommended that if you arrive after a certain time, you overnight in the city and get a train out first thing in the morning. The Best Western came highly recommended. Problem was the Best Western was fully booked on the night of the 3rd of December. I found this out when I was planning my trip from South Africa. Fortunately, the info pack also mentioned the travel desk at Kansai Airport which assists weary travelers such as myself. Worst come to worst, I was fully prepared to find a quiet spot on the floor somewhere at the airport and sleep until the next morning.
I grabbed hold of someone in uniform who looked like they belonged and was luck would have it, they had a semi grasp of English and directed me to where I needed to be. I also had no yen on me as the foreign exchange counters at Cape Town International Airport sold none of the required currency.
The lady at the travel desk didn't understand a word of English. I communicated through an elaborate display of charades. Yes, the Best Western was full, but ther was room a the Stargate Hotel in Rinku Town which was one train stop away.
I smiled quietly to myself. How synchronous! Absolutely meant to be. I am a HUGE Stargate fan!! (For those non Sci-Fi geeks, Stargate is one of my favourite television series which features Richard Dean Anderson who happens to be a visible supporter of Sea Shepherd!). If you are a believer in signs as I am, it doesn't get any better than that!
The room was a little over my budget, but hells bells man! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! Plus, it sure beats sleeping on a cold, dirty airport floor, right? I also managed to change my money to yen right next door to the travel desk.
the kind, very non-English speaking lady directed me to the train station with sign language. The station was connected to the airport so it wasn't exactly brain surgery. I knew two things: I knew the destination town and I knew it was one train station away.
Finding the train station was easy enough. Figuring out the train lines? Not so much. And here I thought the London Underground lines were difficult! Try figuring out a criss-cross of lines in a foreign language when more than one train company has a finger in the pie.
I was ready to just pack it in and find me that cold, dirty spot on the floor somewhere. But I paid for my hotel room already with donour money and I will be buggered if I was going to waste those funds given to me in good faith.
I tried what I did at London's Kings Cross station when I found myself utterly lost and confused: stand still, pigeon toed, mouth agape, frown on the face. Someone was bound to come up to me and say "Are you okay love?". Not in Japan. I must have looked like a right royal tit standing there looking like an escaped mental patient. No one gave a hoot. No one came to my aid. I was on my own.
Eventually I gave up my Oscar winning lost foreigner performance. I went to the little window next to some turn styles and offered a handful of yen to the smartly dressed guy behind the counter.
"Origato! Rinku Town!"
"Japanese Japanese Japanese", the man replied and pointed to an office where people stood in an orderly queue.
I had absolutely no idea what he said but the queue was a definite clue. Dear god. This was more difficult than I expected. For pete's sake – who in this day and age doesn't speak English? I had nothing better to do so I went over and joined the line. I was in the right place.
"Origato! Rinku Town por favour!"
No problem. I was issued a ticket and paid.
I took a chance.
"Also, Kii-Katsuura por favor", making signs for what I hoped the lady understood as 'tomorrow' and 'return' to Kansai.
She understood.
"14 December see voo play."
She nodded. I then gave her the same sign which she understood as 'tomorrow', pointed at my watch and threw my hands up, shrugging my shoulders while sporting a quizzical look on my face. Again she nodded, typed furiously on her computer keyboard and was kind enough to write down the times and stations for my train journey there and back. I could have kissed her.
There were two options. I could either travel Rinku Town – Hineno (station) – Kii-Katsuura or Rinku Town – Hineno – Wakayama – Kii-Katsuura (and back). It was a no brainer. Stick with easy. Lost in Japan is not something I wanted to be, especially not when a) I was on a budget and b) I wanted to get to my destination as soon as possible.
As a parting shot the lady pointed back in the direction of the turn styles and showed me three fingers.
"Train three."
With a "Kanitchiwa" and a couple of bows (as I saw everyone did) I went walking to train three.

December - NMU Medicinal Plant Chemistry Program
On December 13th, Dr. Mark Paulsen, Department Head of NMU Chemistry described the new chemistry program dedicated to entrepreneurial and research-based careers in medicinal plants. A tour of the labs was also conducted by Dr. Paulsen and Dr. Lee Roecker. The Mining Journal article, "Chemistry Meets Biology" provides an excellent summary.
October - Green Burial
The October 19th Mining Journal has a very good summary of NCLL's program "Green Burial: What is it and why should I be interested?". 'Green' burial - Eco-friendly option explored.
August - Lessons on Immigration Prejudice
On August 17, 2018, Dr. Gabe Logan, the director of the Center for U.P. Studies and professor of History at NMU taught NCLL participants a few lessons on immigration prejudice. Through a presentation and examination of historical immigration cartoons, legal reviews questioning whether Finns were subject to the Anti-Chinese Immigration Act and articles written by Ben Franklin railing against Germans in Pennsylvania, Dr. Logan gave a perspective from the past. Small groups of participants identified current anti-immigration rhetoric and made comparisons to history. The Mining Journal wrote an extensive review of the class, "Immigration prejudice: Program focuses on issue, past and current" and is worth the read to see how prejudice is mostly recycled .... we just change the ethnic groups. Have we made progress?
March - A Visit with NMU International education services and students
Some fortunate NCLL members spent a fun and informative afternoon learning more about the NMU International Education Services Programs and five special international students. The four students and one alumnus we visited with were from Columbia (Ada), South Korea (Min), Saudi Arabia (Abdul), Jamaica (Reneika) and Venezuela (Manuel). Their majors are biology, psychology, exercise science, bio-chemistry, and business. The program adviser Lila Isleib described some of specific programs within the department and her related work with the students. Without needing to leave her desk to travel, Lila finds working with the students is an international education itself due to the process and the interaction with the students. It is apparent that they develop a special relationship with each other.
What were the shared observations and feelings?
Many of the experiences shared were humorous, and it would suffice to say there is definitely an adjustment period. Many do not have a real sense of where they are going until they get here. For instance they might know they are going to the largest city in something called the U.P. and often assume it is a large populated area. It can be culture shock when you arrive at the airport and try to contact an "uber" and then drive 20 miles before you see any lights, or a surprise when you come from a city of 10 million and find you are in a small town of 20,000.
They all agree the thing they miss the most, other than family, is the food from their home countries. We have never heard of many of the fruits and vegetables grown in tropical climates or other countries; consequently, they are not in our grocery stores. Some spices can be special ordered or found via the internet but it is best when they receive the special items sent in the family care packages.
Students who do not learn English in their home schools often learn by watching, listening or imitating English on TV shows or movies before they come to the U.S. While their English may not be perfect, they sometimes feel others think they are less intelligent because of it. Hesitancy is not a matter of intelligence; they are just trying to find the right English words to express themselves. Though this can be frustrating and hurtful, sometimes it creates additional motivation to study/try even harder.
There is sometimes a struggle with cultural differences. Some cultures are more demonstrative using hugs and touch to express themselves more fully. So some students are often hesitant to interact with others because they are not sure what is normal or acceptable in a certain situation. This can sometimes make it difficult to make friends and interact with others. While it is easier and more comfortable for them to "stick together," they inherently know that the result is better if they interact with others.
It becomes apparent these students are determined, courageous, and have a sense of adventure and want the opportunities and education that studying and living in the U.S. brings to them. Education in many European countries is free or minimal with regard to expense. For students to come to the U.S. they must pass special exams, and their families sacrifice a great deal to help them get here and pay for their education and living expenses. Before they come to the U.S. they must prove/file special paperwork indicating they have the financial capability to be here and attend college. These five special people feel their time here has contributed to something larger in their lives. Their long term goals are to finish their studies, get their degrees and they are open to whatever the future might bring. All agreed that wherever they end up the people they have met, the experiences they have had and the time spent at NMU and in Marquette will always be a part of who they are and their future.

Thin Film Solar
Precision Thin Film Solar Planning and Installation
Any installation of solar requires not only expertise in solar energy solutions, but also roofing and electrical expertise. Thin film solar cells use a layer of semiconductor material that is only a few micrometers thick and maximize flexibility in the tiles. When installed, thin film titles are practically invisible verses PV panel installation. It is important to note that thin film solar solutions often require more roof space than traditional solar panels. In recent years, purchase and installation cost have come down and are now comparable as well. The main advantages to thin film solar installation include:
- May double as rooftop shingles or appearance of coating on flat roofs
- Can create attractive building facades or glazing for skylights
- No need for bracketing or drilling the rooftop, thus, reducing risks for leaks
- Can be installed on curved surfaces and is a less intrusive solution
- Light weight solution with small carbon footprint and fast energy payback
Thin Film Installation Process
If thin film solar is right for your business, a comprehensive evaluation of your energy needs will be required, as well as, a determination of how and where to best install thin film solar panels to maximize energy production. While not all roofs or businesses are optimal for thin film solar solutions, we will ensure that every detail is covered prior and during installation.
Site analysis and resource evaluation
A comprehensive analysis of energy usage and solar panel requirements for meeting energy needs is conducted. A site analysis will determine a thin film solution that is best for your business including technology selection, design and installation processes. At this stage, thin film solar technology partners are consulted and will assist with a proper evaluation for your solar design and installation plan.
Planning and design
We provide a detailed design schematic and plan that will optimize roof space, minimize solar energy costs, ensure efficient installation and maximize the lifetime of your thin film solar solution.

Anywhere learning
A couple of years ago we wrote a story about a future library user for one of our clients. We often write these types of narratives to help our clients to engage with the users experience of space and their future learning needs. Helping our clients to understand what may happen in the future is an important aspect of our role and one we put a great deal of research into. The story in question explored a day in the life of a undergraduate student. It followed her as she meandered across campus over the course of a day using her mobile smart device as she went to access different information streams as she bumped into a different people. The aim of this profile was to make clear two points, 1) The academic campus will evolve to be a learning community where learning takes place beyond the boundaries of the classroom or library, and 2) Smart technology will change the spaces, places and ways in which we all learn.
The release of the ipad and latest iphone last week brought this topic home again. All of us at Nomad now have iphones and its fascinating to see the varied ways we use these. Fundamentally though we all use this technology to both entertain and to educate. Smart technology provides unprecedented routes into learning, it disguises learning as entertainment and sneaks up on the user. This is 'infotainment' or 'edutainment' at it's best. In the right hands this can be an important tool and we were very interested to find this article from Futurelab about a school where students have been given iphone's as learning aids. http://tiny.cc/a4qma
So how will this impact on space and place? Some people feel that spaces will no longer be important while others still feel that flexibility will be the key. Our research has led us to believe that both these answers are simplistic. The ways in which people will interact may alter but face to face interaction will always be a critical part of the collegiate experience, and just as smart technology helps learning to sneak up upon the user so too will learning spaces seamlessly create opportunities for learning to occur. In the last year we have been exploring a number of experimental learning spaces which support smart technology and we will be taking part in an international competition this summer to explore the future learning spaces as influenced by new technologies. If you have any thoughts about the future of learning spaces we would love your comments. In the meantime check back in the autumn to get a preview of our competition entry!

Even Lake Wintergrasp yesterday, where I spent almost 100 minutes fishing in a rather contented manner.
That's what I caught in that time, thanks to one glow worm and four sharpened fish hooks. And on top of that, from the clams, I scored 9 northsea pearls and a siren's tear. All in all, I'd call that a pretty good haul. It was actually pretty enjoyable (other than being killed twice by horde players who obviously don't fish); I just put on some good music (first was the self-titled album by Genesis from 1983, and after that was a collection of Crowded House tracks) and kicked back (in a manner of speaking). All I needed was a floppy hat and a beer.
I've now got 5 fishing toons, having brought Pringle back into the fold (it was fun getting him to the central flight path in Sholazar Basin), and Kringle might join in the fun today if I have the time (I checked and found I'd done some fishing on both characters, so it's not quite the grind of starting from 0). I also scored a Porcelain Bell from Mingle's fishing reward yesterday, which has the virtue of vendoring for 100g. Still no fishing rods (or Sea Turtle), but there's always tomorrow.
We didn't have the numbers for either guild 10-man Ulduar last night – the main group didn't get enough healers, and the secondary group just didn't get enough sign-ups. Disappointing.
Fingle has started doing the Tournament dailies, with an eye towards getting a replacement to the BoA mace she's still wielding at level 80. Kringle's still waiting to be levelled. And re-talented.
I'm also finding my aggregate gold total going up, thanks to multiple characters doing dailies – much more of this and I might find myself getting around to giving one of my characters dual-specs. It might actually be interesting to do it with Fingle, and see how hard it is to gear up a second shadow-priest (mostly) from scratch, with a backup set of gear for disc.
Lastly, I've been reading this fascinating article on WoWInsider that delves into the differences between 10-man and 25-man loot in Wrath, and why the difference may be necessary to keep 25-man raiding viable. Have a look here if you're interested.
(Oh, and I might finally be able to remember how to correctly use an apostrophe, thanks to this)
For now? Addons are updated (again), so it's time to be endailyfied.

Submillimeter imaging spectroscopy of the Horsehead nebula
Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Auf dem Hügel 69, 53121 Bonn, Germany e-mail: email@example.com
2 California Institute of Technology, Downs Laboratory of Physics 320-47, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Accepted: 16 March 2006
We present ~15 arcsecond resolution single-dish imaging of the Horsehead nebula in the Ci (1–0) and CO (4-3) lines, carried out using the CHAMP array at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). The data are used together with supporting observations of the (2-1) transitions of the CO isotopologues to determine the physical conditions in the atomic and molecular gas via Photon Dominated Region (PDR) modeling. The CO (4-3)/(2-1) line ratio, which is an excellent tracer of the direction of the incoming UV photons, increases at the western and northern edges of the nebula, confirming that the illumination is provided mostly by the stars σ and ζ Orionis. The observed line intensities are consistent with PDR models with an H nuclei volume density of cm-3. The models predict a kinetic temperature of ~12 K and a C18O fractional abundance with respect to H atoms of in the shielded region, which in turn imply a total molecular mass of ~24 M in the C18O filament. The outer halo, devoid of C18O, but traced by the Ci emission has a comparable density and contributes additional ~13 M of material, resulting in an upper limit of ~37 M for the total molecular mass of the nebula.
Key words: ISM: individual: objects: Horsehead nebula / ISM: molecules / ISM: structure / ISM: abundances / ISM: clouds / stars: formation

The place is Hamburg, the year is 1898. Eighteen-year-old Louise is nearing the end of her tether: over the last few weeks, her husband Raoul Paquin, a respected pharmacist in his fifties, has become unbearable. He bullies his wife as well as his staff and is suspicious of everyone. Then one day Paquin is found dead in the bathroom. At first it looks like suicide. But the post mortem reveals that he was poisoned, and suddenly everyone around him really is a suspect. And that includes his young widow.
One of the few friends to give Louise unwavering support is her husband's private secretary Frederick, who soon confesses his secret love for her. But she is so distressed and confused that initially she distances herself from him. While the police are looking for the murderer, she decides to take things into her own hands – she sacks her insubordinate employees and runs the pharmacy by herself.

No Immunity for Cop's Chokehold Killing
(CN) – A police officer who put a detainee in a chokehold until he died does not qualify for immunity and neither do two others accused of conspiring to cover up the killing, the Sixth Circuit ruled.
In 2004, 25-year-old Carlton Benton was a pretrial detainee at Lucas County jail in Toledo, Ohio. He was taken to the hospital that May because he was suffering from seizures, but resisted officers when they disconnected him from medical equipment to take him back to jail. Officers sprayed him with mace and repeatedly struck his upper body until he was completely subdued, according to court records.
Afterwards, Benton made no further efforts to resist the officers. But officer Jay Schmeltz was "frustrated, agitated, and angry" as a result of the incident at the hospital, Benton's family claims in a lawsuit, motivating Schmeltz to shove Benton from behind while leading him back to his cell.
Benton could not break his fall due to his shackles, and struck his head on the cement wall. Sgt. John Gray and other officers witnessed this event.
Schmeltz then pulled Benton off the floor and took him to his cell, where he and Gray attempted to remove the detainee's restraints.
Benton began to "squirm around," making the officers' job more difficult. His family says that his struggling did not pose a threat to the officers.
Nevertheless, Gray allegedly grabbed Benton from behind and placed him in a chokehold. Gray did not release the chokehold until Benton went limp and fell unconscious, even though another officer warned him to let go, saying he was maintaining the chokehold for too long.
The officers then removed the restraints and left the cell, without proving him any medical attention. Another deputy found Benton dead approximately 10 minutes later.
The county coroner's office originally ruled out foul play in Benton's death, but revised its assessment five years later when the FBI launched an investigation. In 2010, the coroner found Benton's death was a homicide by asphyxia.
During the FBI investigation, Schmeltz and Sheriff James Telb both denied seeing Gray apply a chokehold on Benton, and Gray falsely stated that he saw Benton breathing after he fell unconscious, according to the ruling.
A jury found the two officers guilty of falsifying records related to Benton's death. Gray was sentenced to three years in prison, while Schmeltz was sentenced to one year and a day.
Benton's family also filed a wrongful death lawsuit, and a Northern Ohio district court denied immunity for Schmeltz, Gray and Telb.
The Cincinnati-based appeals court affirmed Friday that neither officer nor Telb is entitled to immunity for their role in Benton's death.
"Taking into account all of the circumstances of that day, including the legitimate interests of law enforcement in preserving order and discipline, the allegations that Schmeltz and Gray inflicted gratuitous pain on Benton while he was handcuffed, culminating in his death, establish valid claims that both officers violated Benton's Fourteenth Amendment rights," Judge Jane Stranch wrote for a three-member panel.
Both men were aware that their actions were illegal at the time, and attempted to cover up the incident by filing false reports and lying to federal investigators, the judge found.
Benton's family has also shown that Telb "'at least implicitly authorized approved or knowingly acquiesced in the unconstitutional conduct of the offending subordinate' when he helped Schmeltz and Gray to cover up their unconstitutional actions," Stranch wrote, which she said leaves the sheriff potentially liable for his failure to train and supervise his officers.

Sometimes feminist wisdom comes from unexpected places. Discussing patriarchy while on a road trip with my partner the other weekend he came out with the observation that 'the world would be a very different place if men realised that sex isn't really all that great'.
I replied 'but they think sex is what makes them men, and they think that being a man is the most important thing they can be'.
He responded with, 'they think that being a man is all about drinking, f**king and fighting. So their whole life revolves around those three things.'
'And women suffer for it', I concluded.
We hear the term 'toxic masculinity' and it doesn't really mean much until you look at the way boys learn that being a man is the most important thing they can be, and that in order to be men they must behave in a certain way and shun everything feminine.
If boys learn that men are the most important thing and that femininity threatens masculinity, of course they are going to develop an ingrained fear and dislike of all things feminine.
And what is the most feminine thing? Girls and women.
In my house, I am no shrinking violet. I speak without fear. I call out sexist language. I point out the things that promote sexism in our society.
We also avoid most mainstream media. I don't let my children watch commercial television. Yes, I have one child who writes comics about stick figure zombies and loves the XBox, and one who loves AFL football. But I also have an 11yo who is not worried about being seen hugging me in public and a 9yo who doesn't bat an eyelid when his long hair and pink football lead to him being called 'young lady' by friendly strangers. We are making progress.
I have a few things that I constantly reinforce. One is that your body is yours and yours only. Except in circumstances where your parents make decisions for the benefit of your health (like enforcing the eating of vegetables or brushing of teeth), you get to choose what you do with your body. If you want a haircut, or want to grow your hair, you get to make that choice. If you don't want to hug a relative, you don't have to. I have even told my older child that if he really doesn't want to have any more teeth pulled in the pursuit of a perfect smile, that is his choice. I know how awful it was being marched into the dentist for my extractions as a kid, and I am not going to force anyone to go through that for the sake of straighter teeth.
The goal of this is that my boys will learn to respect the physical boundaries of others, and when the time comes, consent in sexual encounters will be easy to navigate. 'No' will be heard as 'no'. A less obvious 'no' will still be recognised as 'no'.
The other important thing that I constantly reinforce, is that gender should not alter the way you treat somebody. In fact, gender is not really important. Being a good person is the goal. Anyone with a penis can 'be a man'. It is not a special quality, not an achievement or something that makes you better than anyone else. What someone's genitals look like, or what you assume they look like, should not affect the way you treat that person.
If someone is smaller or younger than you, be gentle with them. If they are up for a bit of rough and tumble, make sure you respect any request to back off or stop altogether.
My goal here is that my boys will grow up with the notion that women are people. That dominating women or treating them as objects is as unthinkable as doing the same to another male. That everyone deserves the same respect, regardless of whether they play football or netball, whether they have long hair or short hair, whether they wear shorts or a dress to school.
If they grow up with this attitude, encouraging them to speak out when their peers say things that are disrespectful to women or girls should be easier. Because they will recognise sexism and know it is wrong.
Some feminists say 'teach boys not to rape'. I say 'teach boys that women and girls are people, and all people deserve the same respect'. For when boys grow up to see girls and women as equal and fully human, not as sex objects or inferior beings, not as something to be attained or achieved, not as a tool for their entertainment, they will find the idea of harming, dominating or violating a woman as abhorrent as the idea of someone harming, dominating or violating them.
And if they grow up without the notion that 'drinking, f**king and fighting' are the most important things, they will have plenty of energy for less destructive pursuits.

"I was born and raised right here and intend to grow old in Tamworth. I am so thankful for this experience."
The Princess for 2018 is Cheyanne Conlon, 28, a retail manager, with Miss Congeniality Samantha Duncan and Miss Social Media Julie Fleck.
The outgoing Queen Taylor Fletcher and Princess Tara Grant told the crowd that during their year in the roles that had boot scooted, danced with stars, ridden bikes along the Peel and promoted the Quest and Tamworth.
"I am so proud of the kick-arse women doing things in the region," Mrs Fletcher said.
Twelve women from the Tamworth area were put through the last phase of the contest's judging at the formal dinner attended by 130 supporters and family of the entrants.
The night was the culmination of four months of personal development courses organised by the Zonta Club of Tamworth, who has been running the quest for the past two years. This year's entrants were Alexandra Kellahan, Ashley Ginn, Brittany Meissner, Cheyanne Conlan, Eedi Jenner, Eliza-Jane Simpson, Jade Johnston, Jessica Lloyd, Jessica Ann Kaizer, Julie Fleck, Samantha Duncan and Tamara Ferguson.
