Azores Mint Stamps - Azores Newest Stamps
Stamps of the Pacific Islands of Azores were first issued in 1868. Stamp issues stopped in 1930 when Portugal stamps were used throughout the islands. In 1976 Azores was declared an autonomous, self-governing legion of Portugal and new stamps resumed in 1980.
Europa issues from Azores were scarcely held by dealers and prices of stamps and souvenir sheets 1985 through 1993 for Europa topic have soared in price. Bird stamp topicals along with insects, sailing and WWF issues are among the most popular Azores stamps.

The NBA Christmas jerseys are here! Just in time for ... well, you know.
While the special short-sleeved (rather than the traditional sleeveless) jerseys with the extra-large team logos won't be worn on-court until Dec. 25, they are already available for purchase at NBA.com.
But you might want to ask Santa for one of these bad boys. Otherwise, it's going to cost you just a nickel under $110.
The downside to that plan is you will have to get up kinda early in time to find your jersey under the tree and have it on in time to plant yourself in front of the TV for all the action.

Safety & Security for Childhood Ministries
California Southern Baptist Convention has resources to help develop and implement worker screening, supervision and reporting procedures to reduce risks to minors, church leaders and churches concerning child abuse.
CSBC staff can help with training and consultation for pastors and church leaders responsible to develop a childhood ministry plan for their church. Insurance companies are increasing requirements and churches need to do everything possible to reduce the risk of child abuse.
Church leaders often ask about legal requirements. Find links to supporting documents in the "Download" section on this page for:
- baby crib standards
- clergy as mandatory child abuse reporters
- federal requirements when screening workers – Notice of Consumer Report Rights and Adverse Decision Notification
The State of California does not require churches to screen childhood ministry workers and volunteers, but most insurance companies do require screening for coverage. The State of California requires church-based schools, weekday preschools and after-school programs to screen workers.
The Childhood Safety and Security videos below are designed for pastors, staff, key church leaders and volunteers.
- worker screening standards
- insurance company expectations
- legal requirements
- policies and procedures
These can help churches provide a safe place for children and volunteers. A Safety and Security Checkup worksheet is provided along with documents on policy development and worker screening (see the Download section).
An overview of Childhood Safety and Security is available on Vimeo in a four-part series. The videos can be viewed online or downloaded:
- Childhood Safety and Security - Part 1
- Childhood Safety and Security - Part 2
- Childhood Safety and Security - Part 3
- Childhood Safety and Security - Part 4

A major cause of the DNA backlog is the fact that conventional DNA testing requires highly skilled scientists to perform numerous procedures by hand, to make a series of challenging technical decisions, and to interpret complex data. In addition to substantial technical expertise, the process requires a sophisticated laboratory with specialized instruments. Despite substantial investments in labs over the years, an enormous sample backlog has developed. Forensic laboratories are overwhelmed with the sheer volume of samples that must be processed.
The average rapist commits 12 rapes before apprehension – timely DNA testing would allow capture in many cases after a single assault.— UMass and Brown School of Medicine
The need for faster DNA testing is clearest regarding unsolved rapes in the U.S. According to CDC studies, nearly 1 in 5 American women (18.3%) are raped at some time in their lives (males are the victims of rape as well). Women of all ethnicities are affected. Assaults begin in childhood and are pervasive by college, with 23.1% of females experiencing rape or sexual assault on campus. Considering the prevalence of the emotional, physical, and financial costs of rape, it is shocking that over 400,000 rape kits are backlogged across the country. Rape often goes unreported, adding to the magnitude of the problem.
ANDE offers the ability to change the paradigm in SAK (Sexual Assault Kit) testing. By dramatically simplifying DNA testing, rape kits can be processed immediately following the sexual assault exam, in the hospital setting. Forensic nurses and SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners) nurses can collect samples for processing, allowing law enforcement personnel to identify suspects much more quickly. Generating results quickly is critical in stopping rapists; when SAK samples are not processed quickly, repeat offenses are rampant.
It will take a concerted effort to end the rape catastrophe in the U.S., and ANDE can help.
How it Works:
Far more accurate than a fingerprint, DNA is the gold standard for identification. ANDE can be deployed in police stations or hospitals and is designed to be operated by non-technical personnel. In the hospital, law enforcement would work with SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) nurses to run the tests and significantly reduce the incidence of sexual assault by identifying and removing offenders before they have the opportunity to re-offend or escalate their actions.
ANDE is the first and only Rapid DNA system:
…to receive FBI NDIS Approval
…to pass military grade ruggedization tests
…that equals or betters existing laboratory processes
…that enables non-technical operators to process crime scene samples
…with consumables that do not require refrigeration
…that automatically interprets DNA IDs and allows routine searching of DNA databases
…to feature PrivacyGuard™ protection
DNA IDs:
A DNA ID is a set of information about an individual's genome that uniquely identifies that person. The chance that two people (except identical twins) share the same DNA ID is incredibly small, less than one in a trillion trillion (that's a one followed by 24 zeros)! DNA Identification is the gold standard of human identification, far exceeding conventional fingerprints, iris, and facial recognition in accuracy and reliability. It should come as no surprise that DNA Identification is applied in a wide range of disciplines, including law enforcement, paternity testing, and disaster victim identification. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, laboratory DNA analysis requires weeks, months or – in some jurisdictions – years. This leads to case backlogs and increases the time required to solve crimes.
Law enforcement, the Military, first responders, and others responsible for public safety need a new approach to solve the DNA testing problem. The ANDE Rapid DNA System is that new approach.
The ANDE Rapid DNA System:
Rapid DNA is the fully-automated (hands free) process of developing a DNA ID. The "sample in – results out" process consists of four basic steps:
- DNA Purification. The forensic sample (blood, bone, tissue, cheek swab, and many more) is treated to release DNA. The DNA is freed from impurities.
- DNA Amplification. Several small regions of the pure DNA are copied. These regions were chosen by the FBI because they vary in size from person-to-person.
- DNA Separation. The size of each of the regions is determined.
- Data Analysis. Based on the DNA sizes, a unique DNA ID is generated.
In 2016, ANDE received the first and only FBI approval of a Rapid DNA System. This approval is for a system that tests 16 regions of the human genome from cheek swabs. ANDE has developed a test for 27 regions of the human genome, in part because the FBI recently revised the U.S. standard to at least 20 regions. ANDE's work has been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals – for more information, please click on the following links:
Comprehensive Summary of the ANDE System (first publication of the FlexPlex Assay (2017) FlexPlex-2017-International_Journal_of_Legal_Medicine.pdf
Developmental Validation Study for FBI Approval (2016): Forensic Sci Int Genet 2016 Della Manna.pdf
Crime Scene Samples in the ANDE System (2016): Investigative Genetics 2016 Turingan.pdf
Simplicity of Design and Operation:
ANDE is easy to use and consists of the following components:
ANDE Instrument:
The ANDE instrument contains all of the hardware and software required for fully automated DNA ID generation and analysis. The instrument is portable and ruggedized; it requires no recalibration after transport. The instrument can be installed and ready to run samples in under 20 minutes from unpacking and can be easily operated by non-technical personnel.
The ANDE chip performs all steps required for DNA Identification, including DNA purification, DNA amplification, and DNA separation. The chip contains all required reagents and is stable at room temperature for 6 months. The operator simply places the samples in the chip and the chip into the instrument – no other handling is required to generate the DNA ID.
Automated Data Analysis and Data Management Software:
The ANDE System uses software for automated data interpretation and generation of DNA IDs. The ANDE System also comes with the FAIRS (Federated ANDE Information Retrieval Software) that allows the ANDE data to be used with DNA databases.
All of these features come with an emphasis on privacy protection – ANDE generates no information concerning an individual's health or geographic origin. The DNA ID simply identifies you – not anything about who you are.

Interesting article from zdnet.com highlighting the positive impact that government policy around Brexit is having on 5G research and innovation.
The University of Surrey, which hosts the leading UK 5G research centre, reflects on the potential for committed productivity investment funds to enable the UK to take a leading position on 5G innovative and the broader development of digital offerings enabling accelerated economic productivity.
'Brexit gave us the impetus': How 5G innovation has surged within the UK With the 'cushion' of the EU's 5G R&D programs removed following the Brexit decision, the UK government is experiencing a resurgence of productivity in pushing towards 5G through its innovation lab at the University of Surrey with industry and research partners.

God is our true king. We must make Him the center; yes the center of our lives and our hearts.
In today's first reading we observe that it is part of human condition is to be dissatisfied with the present circumstances. We are always looking for something better to turn up, to be like those who seem to be well off in life. The Israelites were dissatisfied that they did not have a king. They wanted to be like the nations around them, and they thought a king could unify them in their struggles against their enemies, especially the Philistines. Samuel disagreed. He warned the people that a king could usurp their rights, take over their possessions, and oblige them to be at his service.
Today we heard in the Gospel about healing and forgiveness! Jesus is the treatment for each of us in our human weakness. When someone that was physically challenge brought to Jesus because of the faith of his friends, Jesus did the unthinkable. He first forgave the man his sins. The scribes regarded this as blasphemy because they understood that only God had the authority to forgive sins and to unbind a man from his burden quilt. Jesus claimed an authority came from God, he showed the power of God's redeeming love and mercy by healing the cripple of his physical ailment. This man had been crippled not only physically, but spiritually as well. Jesus freed him from his burden of guilt and restored his body as well. The Lord Jesus always is there to fulfill us in our journey in this life. Forgiveness and healing - brought together proclaims God's desire and intention to restore wholeness to every dimension of our lives.
Jesus filled the yearnings for kingship in Israel in a way which the people of that time could not imagine. God is our true king. We must make Him the center; yes the center of our lives and our hearts.
Points to Pray and Ponder. Jesus heals the paralyzed man, we read this in the scripture. When He does this He deepens our trust that His forgiveness is the only way we can have true peace. Then we will forever sing the goodness of the Lord!

Film Screenings: Films and Video by Shumona Goel & Shai Heredia and Oliver HusainGALLERYSKE, New Delhi
March 13, 2014
On March 13th 2014 GALLERYSKE, New Delhi screened a short film by Shumona Goel and Shai Heredia, I am micro(2012), followed by a series of five video pieces by Oliver Husain (Hovering Proxies, 2010, Mount Shasta, 2008, Leona Alone, 2009, Item Number, 2012 and Purfled Promises, 2009).
Shot in the passages of an abandoned optics factory and centered on the activities of a low-budget film crew, I Am Microis an experimental essay about filmmaking, the medium of film, and the spirit of independent cinema.
Addressing a dialogue between images and objecthood, Oliver Husain's projects often begin with a portrait of a person or place. He uses a wide range of cinematic languages and visual codes—such as dance, puppetry, and animation—to disassemble fixed readings of the original material.

If you're trying to trim your tummy, don't let this advice go to waste.
New research shows that adding almonds to your diet and baking with almond flour may not only aid in your weight-loss efforts, but also reduce your body fat and cinch your midsection significantly.
Baking with Almond Flour: A Tasty Way to Whittle Your Middle
The 24 week study, published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, included 65 adults who were either overweight or obese. Half of the participants in the study ate a low calorie diet plus three ounces of almonds per day… or a low calorie diet plus their choice of complex carbohydrates. Both groups consumed the same amount of calories and protein.
At the end of the study, the almond-eaters enjoyed a 62% greater reduction in weight, 50% greater reduction in waist circumference and 56% greater reduction in fat mass compared with the group consuming the complex carbohydrates.
These results are not surprising. In fact, many studies show that people who eat the most almonds (and almond flour!) have the slimmest waistlines. Not to mention that almonds contain blood sugar-balancing magnesium, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, more calcium than any other nut, and three times the antioxidant power of broccoli!
Indulge in Cakes, Cookies & Breads that Help You BURN Fat
By trading out the starchy carbs in your diet for monounsaturated fat rich almonds, you'll do a lot to stabilize blood sugar – a key factor in losing weight… and keeping it off.
So go ahead and enjoy a handful of raw almonds for a snack. Or for a delicious, fat-burning indulgence, whip up one of our unforgettably moist and buttery Cakes… crisp-and-chewy Cookies…or fresh Breads – for all of the flavor of your favorites… with the fat-melting benefits of almonds!

The OSHA noise
regulations recommend
the use of a Type 2 Sound
Level Meter that measures the Slow Sound
The P14S Sound Level Meter meets these requirements, making
it ideal for occupational noise assessments. It has been
designed to be quick and easy to use, with minimal controls
and settings. You should be able to simply switch it on and
make your measurements.
This meter is provided with a Calibration Certificate showing
compliance with the very strict ANSI S1.4 Sound Level Meter
The OSHA regulations also recommend using a Calibrator before
making important noise measurements. A Calibrator emits a very
accurate tone and is used to ensure that the meter is functioning
Our recommendation is the order code P14S-K (see
below for prices), as this includes the Sound Level Meter,
Calibrator, Windshield and a protective case.

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration's hard-sell campaign to persuade other nations to back an invasion of Iraq was in trouble Friday on two fronts: different standards of evidence and perhaps irreconcilably different political timetables.
Fundamentally, the ideological rift between the United States and its reluctant allies isn't about the use of force but about the burden of proof.
Speaking to an international economic forum in Switzerland on Friday, Richard Haass, the State Department's director of policy planning, said Washington is convinced that the U.N. weapons inspection process is flawed because Iraq is hiding information about its chemical and biological weapons.
But he acknowledged: "We have not convinced public opinion of it.... I sit here understanding all too well that we have yet to persuade the international community of where things stand."

Communication Leads To Community
Overwhelming support for safe standing at potential new AFC Bournemouth stadium
Research undertaken by the Cherries Trust, in conjunction with the Football Supporters Federation, has shown a clear appetite for safe standing to be incorporated in the club's proposed new King's Park stadium.
Nine of out every ten people to respond to the survey said they would like it to be included in a new stadium design. The survey, which was promoted to fans of AFC Bournemouth via social media, also showed that over 70% of respondents preferred to stand at football matches, an option not currently available at Premier League football matches.
The main reason given for this was that standing produced a better atmosphere, which comes as boss Eddie Howe gave a rallying cry to supporters saying that the club 'need them more than ever' due to rising expectations. Howe, himself no stranger to standing on the terraces of the club's Dean Court ground in his younger years, took the time to meet with fans in the build-up to the season in order to get their perspective on how atmosphere could be improved. It seems like a long-term solution could lie in safe standing.
James Swyer, Cherries Trust secretary, welcomed the results of the survey, noting "We want all fans to be able to enjoy football matches in a way that suits them. There is clear support for safe standing from our fanbase and I hope the club takes note." He went on to say that "Safe standing isn't a new concept. European clubs have embraced it and English fans are starting to get on board and ask why it's not an option here. Shrewsbury have shown the power of passionate fans seeking change, and Premier League fans have sat up and taken notice".
The club have proposed to build a new stadium near the existing Vitality Stadium in time for the 2020/21 season and, with the national campaign to legalise safe standing gaining more support, it could be a viable option by the time a new ground is opened. They wouldn't be the first Premier League club to do so - Tottenham's new stadium will also have 7,500 seats that can be transformed into standing blocks if the law is changed.
There is little doubt that standing is a key issue for matchgoing fans. Two-thirds of those taking part in the survey have been told to sit down by stewards, with over half of fans having been inconvenienced by those around them standing - either having to stand themselves or missing part of the action. Greater choice and allowing those who want to stand to do so in way which is proven to be safe and doesn't inconvenience other fans seems a logical conclusion.

Only three "licenses" allowed?
Good vs. bad fantasies
Russ keeps arguing that (he thinks) the debate is between cinematic fantasy and historical reality. He was wrong the last few times he offered this inane argument and he's still wrong. The actual debate is between good cinematic fantasies and bad ones. Between those that are authentic and those that aren't.
We can define "good" as any factor that contributes to verisimilitude and encourages suspension of disbelief. Historical accuracy is one such factor, which is why every filmmaker (except the occasional Terry Gilliam) seeks it. Realism is a huge selling point for audiences, critics, parents, and educators--not to mention the Academy voters who hand out the Oscars.
Again, this is a point Russ can't or won't address, as we saw in the King Lollipop in Comanche Moon thread. He has no explanation for why filmmakers film on location, develop elaborate sets and costumes, or hire culture and language experts. Based on his "logic," none of this expensive effort is worth it.
Incredibly, Russ comes up with a formula for the number of times a filmmaker can "lie" (i.e., take fictional license). Three times, says Russ. So what's his excuse when critics point out five, 10, or 20 fictional flaws in a movie like Apocalypto? According to his own formula, that's more than enough mistakes to ruin a movie.
If he understood what he was saying, he'd agree with me whenever a filmmaker exceeds the limits of good filmmaking--the limits he just defined. But you won't see him admitting this. He's too much of an intellectual coward to explain or justify his nonsense.
No, he'd much rather denigrate criticism than debate it. It's as if he's paid by the word to carp and complain. Would you like some cheese with that whine, crybaby?
Russ the Hollywood hack
As we've seen before, Russ's philosophy is: If you can't attack the message, attack the messenger. One has to wonder why. Here's my theory:
It's clear Russ has never met a critique he liked. As regular readers know, he usually rushes to defend Hollywood filmmakers. Not coincidentally, these are the people who pay his bills.
So Russ has a blatant conflict of interest. No wonder he serves as unofficial spokesman for the white establishment. He's too afraid to bite the hand that feeds him. If he criticizes, say, the Kennedy-Marshall people who pay him to keep his Anasazi script off the screen, they may kick him off the gravy train. He may lose the checks he "earns" for sitting on his butt doing nothing.
As I've said before, Russ doesn't know criticism. That's why I've spent so much time educating Russ about criticism. Even if he never gets the point, which seems the likely outcome, please enjoy my popping of his hot-air balloons.

Writerfella here --
What writerfella is trying to communicate to you is that you cannot understand films if you only are a consumer and not a participant. There is no simpler theory nor a simpler grasp, period. You are judging 'art' but are not one of the artists. That rather is like someone who judges history without having experienced that history themselves. You are a latecomer, arriving on the scene AFTER the event portrayed has occurred, but yet you evaluate that event anyway. Movies are the result of processes that you have not experienced and thus cannot know. But you disregard all of that and pretend that you were there. That implies an omniscience or basic knowledge that you cannot possibly possess...

Rob, I propose you spend a couple of hours writing a "Peace Party" screenplay. Submit it somewhere, anywhere. Don't even worry or wait for it to be accepted or rejected. Then, you will have become a participant, not merely a consumer.
This will qualify you for reviewing movies.
By the way, about Roger Ebert. I check into his former reviewing partner, Gene Siskel, and I find no evidence of screenplays. Does this render him useless as a film critic, and Roger Ebert should have done that TV show alone?
In another vast entertainment field, music, probably the most pre-eminent critic is Robert Christgau. However, like with Gene Siskel, he too is nothing other than a consumer of music. Does this mean he is worthless also?

What I'm trying to tell you, Russ, is that your theory about only three creative "licenses" allowed is idiotic. In fact, I don't believe it exists except in your addled imagination. Which may explain why you didn't try to defend it.
When you talk about judging history, do you mean judging things like the war in Iraq? I guess you'll stop expressing opinions on that subject, since you've never experienced it personally. Either that or you'll continue to be a raving hypocrite.
I'm not judging how movies are made, bright boy. I'm judging what I see on the screen. Going by your brain-dead "logic," one has to make a recipe before tasting the resulting dish. Is that really your position, or are you just too stupid to understand what you're saying?
Too stupid is the likely answer. Apparently you were too stupid to understand the part where I said I've tried writing screenplays before. In fact, you were too stupid to address any of the points in my Only Filmmakers Can Judge Films? posting. I suggest people read it again for the final word on the subject.

Hello, my name is Paul Oliphant. I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Executive Director for Greenwood's Eldercare Society. I retired in 2009 after working for 30 years as a Child and Family Psychologist and Mental Health Administrator in the Calgary area. My wife Judith and I have been enjoying the benefits of retired life here on Salt Spring Island since that time. When we first started living here full time I volunteered for Meals on Wheels and then joined the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation where I recently served as Board Chair. In addition, I also served as Chair of the Salt Spring Health Advancement Coalition for two years.
It hadn't been my intention to seek employment but the Greenwoods opportunity seemed like one that I couldn't pass up given my love for organizational reform and re-energizing. I have spent my entire career in health care and I knew from the Salt Spring Health Coalition work that services for seniors was identified as a top priority for the island. It just seemed like the right time for me to get more intensely involved in helping to provide optimal care for seniors on Salt Spring. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan (I have both US and Canadian citizenship). I did my undergraduate degree at Michigan State University, my graduate work at University of Waterloo, and internship at the University of Manitoba Health Sciences Centre. My wife Judith and I have been married for 39 years and are the proud parents of three adult children and a seven-year-old granddaughter- all who live in the Vancouver area.
I am very excited about the opportunity to work with the great staff at Greenwoods, resident's families, the Board of Directors, and the Foundation. My focus will be on building strong relationships, effective teams, and healthy partnerships both within the organization as well as with other groups that serve seniors. I am confident that working together we can ensure that Greenwood's is a warm, caring, and compassionate home for our most vulnerable and venerable residents of Salt Spring.

Glass Craft
Additional History needed. Please contact us if you would like to contribute to or edit this page.
Glass Craft Boats, Inc.
Fort Dodge, Iowa
History thanks to Lee Wangstead
Glass Craft Boats was begun by Oral and Willard Musick who sold the company in 1957 and went on to found Span America Boats. The boats had been designed by Ray and Arch Sindlinger who went on to form the Ft. Dodge Boat Co., building and selling Cruise-About Boats. Glass Craft later became Glass Marine Industries of Humboldt, Iowa.
According to the Sheler's Red Book guide, Glass Craft Sportster serial numbers for 1959 begin S49 Plus. Citation and Olympia begin C59 Plus or O59 Plus. 1958 Sportster serial numbers begin 48 Plus. Citation and Olympia begin C-58 Plus or O58 Plus. Imperial models IC68 or IR68 Plus.
In 1958, Glass Craft arranged for the Marine Division of General Implement Distributors, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah to distribute Glass Craft Boats in Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Idaho.
N.J. Savaiano, president and treasurer of Glass Marine Industries, Inc. acquired the assets, unfinished stock, and trademark of Glass Craft Boats, Inc. of Humboldt, Iowa, with the deal completed by February 1st, 1960. Officials included R. A. "Rod" Schwahn continuing as general sales manager, Jack Willard as office manager, and Carl Zuspan as superintendent. Plans were made to build a 30,000 sq. ft. factory which would triple production facilities (April 1960 Boat & Motor Dealer).
In 1960, Glass Marine Industries announced a deal with Hanley Hydrojet, Inc. to produce a 18' fiberglass jet boat with the Hydrojet drive (May 1, 1960 St. Petersburg Times). Keenan Hanley, inventor of the Hydrojet, was on the board of directors of Glass Marine. Nicholas Savaiano was president of the corporation. 300,000 shares were sold, yielding $451,000 of which $100,000 was planned for plant construction, $50,000 to build up inventory. Litigation ensued as the company came under investigation for mis-use of the stock sale receipts. Accusations were that the company used the money for financing other ventures besides the boat building and marine unit business (Dec. 19, 1960 Milwaukee Journal).
The June 25, 1964 Chicago Tribune reported the merger of Glass Marine Industries, Inc. with Plastic Engineers & Consultants of Costa Mesa, California. The article described Plastic Engineers as operating as Glass Laminates, a builder of fiberglass sailboats. A Nov. 12, 1964 Los Angeles Times article described Glass Marine Industries of Costa Mesa as introducing a line of Columbia-40 sailing yachts designed by Charles Morgan of Florida. This was organized as the Columbia Yachts Division of Glass Marine Industries. Additional history can be found at the following link: http://www.pocoyacht.com/history_columbia.html

Liquids, along with gases and solids, are one of the states of matter. Specifically, liquids describe when matter is in a dense state that usually is fairly incompressible (which means it doesn't change volume when pressure increases, as opposed to gases which are generally compressible). Liquids have a density fairly close to that of the solid state of that material (within a few percent). Liquids are fluids, which means that they flow easily.
While most materials will turn into a gas if they get to a high enough temperature, many materials will skip the liquid phase entirely unless under sufficient pressure. For example, carbon dioxide goes straight from solid to gas form unless under a fair amount of pressure (this is why frozen carbon dioxide is called 'dry ice'). At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures, the differences between gases and liquids disappear to form a supercritical fluid.
The study of liquids includes a fair amount of fluid mechanics, which is relevant for both tidal power and hydroelectricity. To learn more about liquids please see UC Davis's Chem wiki.
The University of Colorado has graciously allowed us to use the following Phet simulation. Explore the simulation to see how states of matter change depending on temperature and pressure:

Sarah Palin has featured a post on Facebook that is purportedly a quote from the Donald. The quote is:
"Sarah Palin has been there since day one. Incredible."
It is unclear what "Day One" is. The first time I remember seeing Palin with Trump was before Palin quit the One Nation bus tour. Palin and Trump ate pizza with forks.
This is the picture and description of the meeting illustrated:
It's ironic that Trump is now taking the oath of office today as the 45th President, and Sarah Palin is at home in Alaska eating blueberry pie and moose chili. It is amazing that since day one Sarah Palin presumed that she would be the candidate running for President, and Trump would be the second in command. Now Trump will be the Commander in Chief, and Palin will be…and unemployed Grandma to several grandkids. She wasn't even invited by Trump to the inauguration. Donald Trump made a video encouraging lots of people to attend his "really incredible" inauguration which will be "fantastic."
Palin hasn't given a reason for her non-attendance, but many suspect that Alaska is just too darn far away.
Other people have different reasons for not being able to attend the inauguration. They include:
What reason would you give for not attending?

Married to a Broncos Fanatic
On any given day, my wife will wear her vintage John Elway jersey with her Denver Broncos socks. She will accessorize that with her Broncos earrings and purse. Inside her purse is her makeup bag emblazoned with the Broncos logo. And before she got dressed she will have brushed her teeth with her Denver Broncos toothbrush and dried off with her Broncos beach towel.
When everything you touch in order to get ready for your day reminds you of your favorite NFL team you know you are a football FANatic. My wife is one of those fans. For more than 25 years she has faithfully fawned over her favorite team.
Now, in many marriages one might assume the husband is an avid NFL follower and the wife may or may not share in her husband's football fandom. But in our household, though always a football watcher, when I married my wife I definitely also married her pigskin passion for the Broncos.
While every room in our house has some Broncos influence, the office is decked out all in Denver decor. I am typing this article in a swivel office chair with the Broncos logo. I can keep my writing notes in a Broncos folder. Each wall is covered with Denver decorations, from blankets to bags to bumper stickers. Oh and board games, too.
Of course the jewel in her crown is the large curio cabinet filled to the brim with Broncos memorabilia. Boy did I score some brownie points when I bought her that for Christmas one year! She's got coffee mugs and key chains and anything else you can imagine. As the old saying goes, "everything but the kitchen sink." She'd have that too if they made one.
If there is an item with a Denver Broncos trademark on it she either has it or wants it. Broncos inspired clothing that she can't wear she foists upon her husband or son. I joke with her that I could put a Broncos sticker on a dead opossum and she would find a place to display it. I am still waiting for her to buy Denver sheets so she can say she sleeps with the Broncos.
Along with Elway merchandise, she has a Terrell Davis doll and Tim Tebow magazines. Whenever workmen come to the house to do repairs they automatically assume the collection is mine. I admit to loving the team, yet I have to own up to the fact that my wife runs the museum.
There are no official visiting hours yet for the museum, but trust me, the collection keeps growing. Just this morning my Bronco-loving bride reminded me of a certain Denver emboldened item that she wants for Christmas. If she keeps this up, we're going to need a bigger house.

One down...
I finished up the Skye Vest last night. Here it is in all its (still damp) glory. Too bad I have to wait until Christmas to see how it looks on the intended wearer.
Here are the specs:
-Pattern: Skye Tweed Vest by Kathy Zimmerman from Spring 2005 Interweave Knits
-Yarn: Cascade 220 in color 8013 (substituted for Classic Elite Skye Tweed)
-Skeins: 3 and 3/5
-Needles: size 7 and 8 bamboo
-Start to finish: October 7 - November 1
-For: My Dad (Christmas)
Notes: I made the second smallest size (45" chest). The finished vest only measures 43" so my gauge was a bit off which is ok...it still falls within the range Mum said would be acceptable for paternal wearables. Aside from the fairly minor fiasco with the neck cables, this was a fun and easy pattern to knit. You have to love those cables!
Now on to other things...
Modeled shot!
