After last week's extreme cliff-hanger, fans of Z-Nation were anxious to see what had caused the massive explosion at the voting booths. It was a great relief when Roberta's A-Team were the first to get back up. Warren, George, Doc, and Citizen Z were all the first to start helping others who weren't as lucky, one man, in particular, was impaled with a table leg!
But before the first responders could start helping all the wounded and providing the newly 'undead' with their very much needed Z-biscuits, a hoard of deadly Zs storm the voting room. However, the threat is quickly dealt with by our team of badass survivors; shout out to George who took down a Z by bashing them in the head with a bible.
After a moment's thought, the team realizes that the explosion combined with the hoard of flesh-hungry Zs was no coincidence. Altura and Newmerica are positioned so far up North in North America that the cold prevents many fully dead Zs from coming within a close radius. Therefore, an attack on the camp this far North was not a mistake, it had to be planned.
Additionally, as a result of the explosion, many of the alive humans that were gathered as delegates have now joined the 'talkers' rank. The numbers are now starting to shift in Altura, once the living outnumbered the talkers, however, now the 'undead' headcount has significantly increased.
Another major point that was obviously portrayed in this episode is that Pandora is without a doubt the new villainous character for this season. As viewers, we get clear proof that the bomb was planted by someone working with Pandora as she boldly, and creepily, proclaims that seeing all the havoc in Altura makes her 'aroused.' But as for the characters within this apocalyptic world, the suspicion falls on Dante, as he was said to been seen leaving the voting booths minutes before the bomb went off and no one has seen him since.
Altura's leader, Roman Estes, orders a complete lockdown of the camp but that doesn't stop Murphy from fleeing once he hears the announcement, fearing that people will start to point their fingers at 'the red guy.' I think it's entertaining and clever how the writers decided to make Murphy's skin change to red, with many other characters calling him 'Lucifer' or 'Satan.' A special gold-star goes to anyone who got the reference to Murphy's late daughter, Lucy (which isn't too far a jump from the sound of 'Lucifer').
With a complete disregard for the lockdown state of Altura, Dante escapes by crashing a van through the front gates…with Murphy holding onto the back. We are offered a great cinematic moment when as the van drive past, the scene goes slow-motion and George exclaims 'Dante!' while Roberta lets out 'MURPHY?!' I was left wondering why Murphy would go through all the trouble to find Warren, just to flee the camp and leave her behind. But I'm sure, as always, Murphy's self-preservation tendencies will eventually lead him back to our beloved group of survivors.
In addition to the lockdown, Roman has also ordered that all talkers be rounded up and contained…however, this doesn't include Pandora, who later takes it upon herself to give us viewers a truly uncomfortable scene by seductively licking Roman's ear. But with all the talkers locked up and Dante gone, even more havoc ensues. With the lack of Z-biscuits, the talkers turn full-zombie and start to attack each other and any living people who are close enough.
It's also good to see Sun Mei back in action who saves her medical assistant by finding a few spare Z-biscuits (personally I can't wait for the much-anticipated return of Addy). At this point, I was wondering what else this episode could possibly throw at us and soon I deeply regretted that kind of thinking.
When 10K tries to escape with Sun Mei, Sgt Lily, and Red, he takes a seemingly quick detour to help save a young girl trapped by a pair of Zs. However, once he dispatches of the first two, many more appear and back him up against the wall. Red and Sgt Lily hear his screams and rush to help only to see that they are too late, 10K has been bitten, but that doesn't stop them from trying to pull him out of the mess and kill the rest of the zombies.
With the bite on 10K's right hand, Red does the only thing she can think of…she chops it off. 10K and Red are able to break free of the hoard but look back to see Sgt Lily overrun, with Zs taking bites out of her neck, there is nothing they can do to save her. Time slows down again, and Sgt Lily pulls out a grenade and takes herself down with the zombies who have started to rip her apart.
A shower of blood rains down on them and for a minute, everything is silent. 10K's trigger hand is gone and he is losing a significant amount of blood. Sgt Lily has just sacrificed herself and Red has saved 10K's life…but at what cost?
The episode ends with Murphy getting approached by an old blend he made multiple seasons ago and being taken to a new place called 'limbo.' Additionally, Warren, Doc, George, and Citizen Z are left trying to follow the trail of Dante and Murphy, while being completely unaware of the horrors that have just occurred back in Altura.
This episode was jam-packed with action, shock-factor, and destruction. By the end, it has left a main character dead and another one stripped of their very identity. The major question blaring in my mind, 'What will 10K do now that he can't effectively kill Zs? That's the whole reason he's called 10K!'
With episode three ending in an even more shocking manor than one and two combined, I can only hope the show doesn't completely destroy our optimism for the overall survival of the gang during this week's new episode.

Maisie's TPLO Surgery
We took Maisie in for her TPLO (tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy) surgery on Tuesday 20th of March. Her procedure was later that afternoon. The photo below was taken that morning when I told her I couldn't give her breakfast as she needs to be on fasting.
This is the last photo we took before we had to leave her at the vet. Definitely wasn't easy and felt weird when we got home and Maisie wasn't at the door to greet us. Nathaniel was very sad when we came home from school that day without Maisie.
21st March 2018: This is an x-ray for the surgery that was done on Maisie's left hind leg. We picked her up from the vet at around 6pm.
Some photos of Maisie when we got home from the vet. She was in a bit of pain as she didn't finish her dinner at her normal pace. She actually stopped eating for a good 10 minutes before finishing the rest. That's a first for her in the 8.5 years we've had her… she normally gulps down her food.
Closer look at the cut. She'll be on recovery mode the next 2- 3 months. For the next 1-2 weeks she's not allowed to do much besides going outside to do her business. Can't run, can't go on steps, not allowed to get excited and jump, etc…
Sleepy girl…
She had to wear the "cone of shame" to make sure she doesn't lick the surgery site.
Hoping that Maisie will recover well and can build strength on the left leg again as her right knee will need this surgery too.

When planning a wedding or party, adding chair covers to your list of supplies can help tie together the color scheme and decorations in a room. Chair covers are designed to be slipped over folding or dining room chairs, and may come in a solid color or adorned with a pattern or trim. They allow party planners and hosts to give the impression that custom furniture was brought in for an event, without the expense of investing in new seating.
There are a few different chair cover styles, each of which gives chairs a unique appearance. One of the most popular, and least expensive, covers attach to the chair by means of ties on the back. A benefit of these relatively unfitted covers is that they fit a wide variety of chair styles. White is a top choice, often used in weddings and for outdoor garden parties, but they can be purchased or rented in almost any color. These covers may be installed in just a few minutes, and will add little time to your party set-up schedule.
Some of the more fitted styles will maintain the shape of the chair. They may attached with zippers, ties or buttons, and they will often take a bit more time to install. For those who are considering fitted covers, it is important to get a sense of the size and make of the chairs that will be used at the event. If your dining chairs will have arms or high backs, this may affect the selection of covers that is available to you. For those who will be ordering covers for the first time, it is a good idea to speak to a customer service representative to ensure that your selection will be compatible with the furniture you will be using.
Chair covers can turn a normal dinner party into an event to be remembered.

On Tuesday, disgraced stockbroker Jordan Belfort (also known as "The Wolf of Wall Street") predicted that Robinhood's future is "toast." Given everything the investment app encountered last week, Belfort's prediction should come true. However, I am confident that the impending chaos will soon boil over and leave Robinhood mostly unscathed.
For those unfamiliar with this incredibly complex situation, Robinhood found itself under fire after a group of Reddit users completely blew up the stock price of the electronic retailer GameStop by purchasing thousands of shares. The Redditors' actions stood in stark contrast to the actions of many Wall Street elites, who had written off GameStop as a declining, soon-to-be worthless corporation. Who could blame them? GameStop's value was less than $5 per share for most of 2020. And as anyone who's been to GameStop knows, this value is still greater than the compensation you receive for returning a video game!
Jokes aside, GameStop stock began to recover last month, when Chewy's Ryan Cohen was added to the company's board of directors. But the Redditors made the real difference, as GameStop's market value nearly doubled from Jan. 25 to Jan 26. The next day, it opened at a ridiculous $347 per share. In the midst of all this chaos, Robinhood suspended all buying of GameStop stock on its app.
Almost immediately, Robinhood was called out for suppressing the freedom to trade—and rightly so. The app is popular with young investors, who tend to distrust traditional hedge fund managers, who they hold responsible for the 2008 financial crisis. Given its base and mission to "democratize finance for all," the fact that Robinhood acted like a shady Wall Street firm has led to several lawsuits against the app.
But as I stated earlier, there is no cause for concern; Robinhood's reputation is battered, but not shattered. Since the GameStop fiasco, $3.4 billion in donations have rolled in for the app. The dozens of lawsuits facing Robinhood—identified by Jordan Belfort as the likely culprit for the app's unraveling—won't matter all that much in the end. $3.4 billion will certainly cover Robinhood's legal fees, and whatever is left should handle the majority of out-of-court settlements.
This is, of course, assuming that Robinhood's lawyers are smart enough to realize they will not win most cases contending an interference with the free market. The suspension of GameStop purchasing has been condemned across the political spectrum, with everyone from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr. speaking out against it.
As long as donations continue to pour in, Robinhood will make it out alive. But even if they dry up, the company's censorship of common stock traders has given it a seat at Big Tech's table. Since it has gone there and clearly chosen a side, it will be difficult (but not impossible) for Robinhood to win back the trust of its base.
Taking on Wall Street and its hedge funds has seldom, if ever, yielded a favorable outcome for its challengers; Robinhood's GameStop controversy is no exception. But to create such exceptions in the future, we the investors must take a stand … and maybe spend a little more time lurking on Reddit.

What is Cloud Hosting?
Cloud hosting is a very popular term today. Even so, only a few realize what it does really stand for. The majority of the website hosting corporations speculate eagerly about plans defined as being 'cloud hosting'. Above all the cPanel website hosting and cPanel reseller hosting firms. Because of the sheer shortage of new marketing ideas, the cPanel web hosts are plainly using voguish words, attempting to lure more website hosting customers with slick marketing methods.
cPanel - a single server web hosting platform
In a nutshell, cPanel is a single server hosting solution. One single server serves all website hosting services concurrently. On the other hand, the cloud hosting platform necessitates each individual web hosting service, like data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc. to be served by different groups of very powerful servers in a cluster. All the clusters constitute the so called 'cloud'. With cPanel, the aforementioned web hosting services are all being served simultaneously by 1 server. All this goes to say that no 'clouds' can be observed around cPanel-based web hosting merchandisers. Not even a single one...
The huge marketing trick with cloud hosting accounts
Beware of the various dishonest affirmations guaranteeing you 'cloud hosting' services, mainly propagated by cPanel hosting providers. When a cPanel website hosting merchant boastfully insists that a 'cloud' website hosting solution is being proffered, check out whether it's not a haze or a fog in the first place. Practically everyone toys with the term 'cloud', ultimately counting on the fact that the bulk of the clients do not know what it does really mean.
Let's be more positive and get back to the authentic cloud hosting services.
Hepsia - a cloud hosting Control Panel environment
Hepsia is a cutting-edge cloud hosting solution linked to a feature-rich user-friendly hosting Control Panel. Both, the cloud hosting solution and the complementary web hosting Control Panel are conceived by ResellersPanel.com - a professional reseller hosting merchandiser from year 2003. Unfortunately, it's a very uncommon occurrence to come across a web hosting merchant delivering a cloud web hosting platform on the marketplace. For unknown reasons, Google prefers cPanel-based website hosting merchandisers mostly. This is why we believe it's commendable for those who demand a website hosting platform to be a little bit more aware of the Hepsia cloud hosting solution.
Hepsia - the multi-server cloud hosting solution
Each web hosting service droplet in Hepsia's 'cloud' is handled by a separate host of servers, devoted exclusively to the particular service at hand, sharing out the load generated. Hence, the web hosting Control Panel is being attended to by one host of web servers, which serve the web hosting CP only and nothing apart from it. There is another set of web servers for the email, one more for the data storage, another for the backup, one more for the statistics, another for the MySQL databases, one more for the PostgreSQL databases, and so on. All these clusters of web servers run as one whole web hosting service, the so-called 'cloud hosting' service.
Cloud hosting services with BreHost
We have picked Hepsia as our main hosting platform, so that we can provide top cloud hosting services to our clients. Every one of our hosting offers features the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and all of it's free bonuses. But don't take our word for it, you can go check out for yourself in the control panel demo.

Hawkeye Fan Shop — A Black & Gold Store | Hawk Talk Monthly — November | 24 Hawkeyes to Watch 2018-19 | Hawk Talk Daily links
IOWA CITY, Iowa — For the third straight week, University of Iowa senior Megan Gustafson was named the Big Ten Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Gustafson averaged 22.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, and shot 80.0 percent from the field in two games last week. She led the Hawkeyes to a Big Ten record-breaking comeback against No. 25/20 West Virginia on Nov. 23, registering 28 points, 16 rebounds, and shooting 70.6 percent from the field against the Mountaineers. She scored 17 points and pulled down six rebounds in the fourth quarter to help Iowa complete the 24-point comeback.
On Nov. 24, Gustafson was a perfect 8-for-8 from the field against Florida State. It marked her second perfect shooting performance this season (13-for-13 vs. Western Kentucky). The Port Wing, Wisconsin, native scored 16 points and pulled down eight rebounds in 37 minutes of action against the Seminoles.
The conference award is the 13th of Gustafson's career and third of the season. She broke a Big Ten single-season record last season with nine Player of the Week honors. She was also named to the conference's weekly honor roll six times.
No. 14 Iowa returns to action Thursday, traveling to defending National Champion and top-ranked Notre Dame for a Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup. Tipoff is at 6 p.m. (CT) on ESPN2.

Neutrinos - The Ocean of Stardust
We swim in stardust. We are constantly communicating with the rest of the universe, and the universe is communicating to us, through neutrinos, which are very small particles that carry mass, and this mass goes through matter.
Why do I tell you this because this is one of the foundations of this work, of healing through and with Human Design.
You are constantly feeding, you are alive with those neutrinos. They are being filtered by your body. Now when I'm talking to you, I'm passing you neutrinos fields through my voice, through that frequency.
What is happening in a healing process is that we observe how we are taking those neutrinos transforming those frequencies and then bringing them out, like a clear breath. As we are constantly taking neutrinos from the environment, from objects, people, and planets. This is how information is moving in this world. So, the stars are affecting you but you are also affecting the stars.
And when I sat with this amazing insight I almost started to cry, because some say that "When you change one person, you change the entire world". I didn't understand how this could happen practically before I met Human Design.
But now I can see it in my life, when this healing process of my wounds, of my pain, is happening, suddenly my reality is changing. I see people differently, I see the world differently. I lived in a different reality. I didn't know that was possible, I did not believe this even existed.
But through my healing process, I can see that I have experienced that. So when we heal our body, and we maintain that healing process we are actually constantly transferring neutrinos, little particles with information.
We are moving them in space through our unique frequency, through our unique light and love. And the beauty is that you can take neutrinos in, conditioning by the stars, by people, by everything. And you can heal them, you can expand them, you can transform those neutrinos and it happens in milliseconds. Even right now we are all swimming in this stardust ocean.
The only thing that makes a difference when it comes to conditioning is, "Are you drawing in this ocean of stardust, or are you swimming in your own trajectory?". "Are you being blended with all kinds of energies all day long, being lost, with pain, and suffering, tired and exhausted of living ?"
Or, exactly like the "Chi " in Martial Arts. You take those energies, you don't ignore them or block them, and then you can create a healing process within yourself, and then you send them back. like this no energy is wasted.
This is for me, the essence of those neutrinos. Is to see how energy moves, which kind of energy we receive in our body, and how to work with that wisely.
I chose in this course the perspective of "healing', of expanding that energy, of appreciating, of learning from those neutrinos. Bringing in love, learning from pain, and rising from here.
This is what I would like to go with you, the process of transformation through healing. beyond the suffering and allowing love with those neutrinos that come to serve this process. Whatever you would receive, doesn't mean that you have to stay with it, there is an opportunity to transform it. It doesn't happen in one day or in one week, it is a life journey.But those neutrinos, that stardust that we receive from the universe we give back to the universe.
We are here to dance, we are here to dance the dance of the universe. We are like those little particles. We are here to shine and disappear. There is no need to be a black dot in space, it can be a shiny dot that disappears after it is glimpsed.

Retro Classics is the annual collector car "trade fair" staged in Stuttgart, Germany. It opens February 27 and runs through March 1, and among the featured displays this week is that of the German Peugeot Pre-War Register.
Though its name sounds more formal, the "Register" is actually a car club organized in 2000 by German fans of the French brand, and includes both two- and four-wheeled vehicles produced between 1890 and 1949. The club now represents more than 400 members and their more than 5,000 vehicles.
The Register's display at Retro Classics will include four cars — three historic and also a vision of the future in the form of the Peugeot e-208 electric vehicle.
The historic vehicles include a 402 Eclipse, considered the world's first mass-produced "convertible coupe," a car with a metal roof that retracted out of sight. The 402 Eclipse was built from 1935 to 1942 and there was a version in which the top was electrically powered. Featured at Retro Classics will be a 1936 example.
Also on display will be a D4 van, a 1950s model affectionally known as the "pig nose" because of its protruding vertical grille. Turns out the grille was created so there would be room for the van to be powered by the same engine as the Peugeot 403. D4s were versatile vehicles, used for everything from minibuses to ambulances, even as livestock trucks.
The third historic Peugeot on the Register stand will be the 205 Turbo 16, a mid-engine, 4-cylinder (turbocharged to produce 200 horsepower), 4-wheel-drive special developed for the World Rally Championship, which Peugeot won in both 1985 and 1986.
Also being showcased at Retro Classics is Peugeot's "L'Aventure Peugeot Citroen DS," the company's museum based in Sochaux, France, that also operates a vintage parts program offering more than 18,000 replacement parts for vintage vehicles.

Image Comics debuts horror-noir "Killadelphia" this November
Updated: Oct 29, 2019
Writer: Rodney Barnes, Art: Jason Shawn Alexander, Color: Luis NCT, Lettering: Marshall Dillon, Editor: Greg Tumbarello.
Killadelphia: Sins of the Father, Part 1 arrives in November with a suspenseful horror story that'll leave you clamoring for more. Writer Rodney Barnes gives us the tale of James "JJ" Sangster, Jr., a young man haunted by the violently tense relationship he had with his father growing up. Though momentarily relieved after his father dies, JJ is still haunted by his ghost as he embarks on the same journey that brought his father to the grave. Barnes's story reads very much like a crime noir, which it is, but it quickly turns into a horror tale. By the book's end, you're left wanting to know more. What happens next? When can I find out? We're thankfully given the details of Part 2 coming in December 2019 with an amazing colorful illustration from Jason Shawn Alexander and Luis NCT.
The moment I opened Killadelphia I was struck by a mental flashback to the time I read Akira Hiramoto's manga Me and the Devil Blues: The Unreal Life of Robert Johnson. Both works have running parallels in so far as the inclusion of supernatural involvement in American history, African American protagonists, style of art, and sense of stirring dread throughout their respective stories. I bring up the similarities as a compliment and without any accusation of copying. Killadelphia is a stand alone work that is clearly part of a niche genre in the graphic novel medium.
Illustrator Jason Shawn Alexander is no newbie to comics. He is an award winning illustrator having produced content for Dark Horse Comics, Warner Brothers, DC Comics, Hasbro, and others throughout his career. Alexander's past work veers towards the gritty, raw, and horrific, and at times photorealistic as can be seen in Killadelphia from the very first page of the story. His style is fearless and it is only further boosted by Luis NCT's coloring. NCT has his own rules with respect to color as he changes the hue depending on the setting, such as sepia when it comes to places of worship, or steel blue in an office environment. These changes help break scenes up and give the reader the sense of going down the same path alongside the protagonists.
If you're hoping Killadelphia is worth your while, it definitely is. What else could you expect from a book that's been given high praise by director Jordan Peele, Chris Rock, and Brian K. Vaughan?
Killadelphia: Sins of the Father, Part 1 is published by Image Comics and is on sale November 27, 2019.

Great weather, anchoring for start of blackfish season
The blackfish season kicked into high gear on Wednesday when the daily bag limit expanded from one to six fish.
Several for hire and private boats carried anglers out to rock piles and snags where these fish like to hide out. Just about everyone who went out was happy with the nice weather that made for easy anchoring.
The catch was pretty good too, as the tautog — the scientific name for blackfish — were out chewing.
"We could not have asked for a better weather day to start the fall tog season. Fished a single drop for most of the day with a nice group of our blackfish regulars and banged away at a mix of keepers and plenty of shorts that went back," said Captain Stan Zagleski of the Elaine B II.
RELATED: Bottom fishermen making good hauls of sea bass
He said green crabs accounted for a lot of the fish. Many of the fish that were thrown back were just under the 15-inch size limit.
Captain George Bachert on the Angler said the good anchoring conditions allowed him the chance to explore areas he hadn't looked at yet, and he was happy to report that he found blackfish on all of them.
Dave Woodson from Dover reeled in the big fish that won the pool. He caught an 8-pound blackfish and had three other keepers
Captain Ron Kish on the Capt. Cal II said several anglers on his boat caught their limit of six fish. The rest had three or four fish to go home with.
Captain Howard Bogan of the 125-foot Jamaica said he had another good offshore sea bass trip on Wednesday. He said anglers caught plenty of jumbo sea bass and porgies off the deepwater bottom. And limit catches of 15 sea bass were fairly common.
The big fish though, were the cod that were landed up 25 pounds.

Captain Jeff Guttman of the Voyager said he made a number of mid-range sea bass trips in the past week. He said the fishing over these grounds has been excellent on smaller sized fish with many fish going back due to the new 13-inch size limit.
"Even with the new limit, people are catching enough keepers to make things interesting with some getting limts. There have also been porgies and blues mixed in depending on the particular spot," Guttman said.
He is also starting his runs to offshore grounds and added that the water temps are still warm and the migration of sea bass is just underway.
It's official.
The state's Division of Fish and Wildlife has announced that James Massimino of Neptune made his way onto the state record fish list recently by landing a new state record gray triggerfish.

Massimino was fishing off the boat, Striper Snyper, captained by Stauros Dallaportas on September 8. The boat was fishing off the Sea Girt Reef when the fish hit his line while bottom fishing.
His fished weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces, eclipsing the old record caught by Ronald Pires in 2008 in High Bar Harbor by 15 ounces.
Massimino was using an Abu Beast reel spooled with 50-pound test braided line and a Lamiglas rod. He used crab for bait.

I often think about patterns from my childhood… Fabrics, tile, wallpapers, even linoleum patterns. Many of them have really stayed with me over the years and I remember them fairly clearly. For the ones that are no longer around… I wish I could just have a piece… A yard or a square foot to look at and remember perfectly.
The sofa in the photo below was upholstered in a beautiful chinoiserie floral in orangey-pinks, cream and green and was in my grandparents' living room in Honolulu many years ago. I've seen the photo below of my grandfather & me over the years (and I'm not sure at what point I started consciously thinking of the fabric) but it's just sort of always been one of those fabrics filed away in my mind that I think of every so often and love.

Some children with COVID-19 may not have any symptoms. Even so, these children can spread the disease to others. Here are the symptoms to watch for in children: Fever Symptoms of respiratory infection Cough Nasal congestion Runny nose Help Your Kids Stay Healthy Help your children stay healthy by encouraging them to: • Wash with soap and water for 20 seconds (sing the happy birthday song with your children so they will know how long to wash). • If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that is 60 percent or higher alcohol-based. • Teach your children to avoid touching their faces. • Avoid people who are coughing and sneezing or who have other symptoms of being sick. • Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the inside of their elbow. (throw away the tissue immediately and wash hands after coughing or sneezing) There are no official guidelines for children and face coverings yet. Experts, however, say that children under the age of two should not wear face coverings. For now, its up to parents to decide whether or not their children will wear face coverings in public. If you do decide your children should wear face coverings, its good to explain why with a direct, age-appropriate conversation. Ways to Keep Kids Active and Learning Kids thrive on routine so the changes brought on by COVID-19 may be distressing to them. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers ideas on smoothing the transition for your children. Encourage your children to play outdoors during this time. Its good for their physical and mental health to get out of the house and away from electronics. Because social distancing can be a challenge for children, get your family together for a walk with you or take a bike ride. Here are some AAP recommendations for having family fun while social distancing. Introduce your kids to GoNoodle for a great way to keep them active and engaged.

Celtic Trinity Knots Spinner Ring TR3780
The Triquetra appears to be one of the simplest Celtic Knots, but it's meaning is profound. Representing the triplicities that surround us (earth, sea, sky; birth, death, rebirth; the maiden, mother, and crone aspects of the Goddess), the Triquetra is a powerful statement about the world around us.
This sterling silver band by Peter Stone, composed of repeating filigree Triquetras, gives mute testament to the Celtic belief in the power of three.

How Red State revives and transcends 1970s American transgressive horror
Spoiler Warning: In its analysis, this essay deconstructs key narrative points from throughout the duration of Red State. Consequently, it is not recommended to be read by those wishing to preserve any surprises inherent in a viewing of the film.
Adam Simon's documentary The American Nightmare (2000) posits that the wave of new American horror emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s was created principally by a new breed of firebrand directors anxious about such world affairs as the war in Vietnam, racial equality, Cold War politics and the oil crisis, eager to express their rage through increasingly raw and confrontational representations of horror in the cinema.
The genre has shifted considerably since then, and such rage has manifested itself more recently in less transgressive, often more overtly political cinematic forms – for instance, Crash (Paul Haggis, 2004), Good Night and Good Luck (George Clooney, 2005) and Redacted (Brian De Palma, 2007). Satire has also been used effectively, as with In the Loop (Armando Iannucci, 2009) and Four Lions (Chris Morris, 2010). But the direct use of – to employ some post-9/11 newspeak – 'shock and awe' as a mechanism for expressing political rage on film is one that has resurfaced in the form of Kevin Smith's Red State (2011).
Smith's film functions similarly to the grab bag of titles offered in Simon's documentary, and it exists very much in the same world as those films. Functioning as fringe horror in its early stages – tackling the terrors wrought by extreme thinking spawning extreme action – it metamorphoses into something very unexpected as it continues. The running thread, however, is the same kind of anger that Simon identifies as spawning that '60s/'70s American horror cycle. It is evident that Smith's seething rage transcends good taste, generic expectations and even a lot of cinematic conventions to yield a product that is refreshingly raw and scathing while never directly damning – that he leaves to his audience. Yet its directness is greater than that of its antecedents, adopting a subject matter that is not a shadow of issues at stake but their direct reflection.
Themes are established in the film's opening movement. We are introduced to the Five Points Church, a pastiche of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church so overt that it even quotes that sect's mantra "God hates fags". Characters, themes and narrative threads are presented with an overt efficiency that builds anticipation and dread. The allegation that the Five Points Church is responsible for the murder of a local gay teen is enough to convince us of their homicidal tendencies. Lusty teenage boys, the trio at the core of the film's opening horror salvo, are set on a course destined to punish them for following their sexual urges. And a classroom debate over the value of the first and second amendments to the US Constitution sews Smith's agenda squarely on his sleeve. The movement culminates in the abduction of teens Travis (Michael Angarano), Jared (Kyle Gallner) and Billy Ray (Nicholas Braun), confirming suspicions about the Church's desire to express its first amendment rights through its second.
The next section, Pastor Abin Cooper's (Michael Parks) lengthy sermon, sets the opposing view to the boys' liberal teacher, but it damns the Five Points congregation through its repeated cuts back to the victims of the Church's righteous indignation. We see Jared freaking out in a box to his predicament, the horrors of his intended fate made manifest by the vicious execution of another abductee. We see Travis and Billy Ray cower in the basement as the body of that nameless victim becomes their company. Without these interjections, without the perpetual insistence of Jared's panicked breathing on the soundtrack, the sequence could be a documentary snapshot of any zealously right wing mass. The construction of the sequence – all competently handheld camerawork and audio mixed to sound like an unsweetened production track – screams newsreel from any flagship current affairs show in the days when they deserved the honour of that title.
An interlude occurs next that takes the film into Last House on the Left (Wes Craven, 1972) and Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974) territory. It depicts terrified victims tormented beyond the bounds of conventional screen etiquette, their plaintive cries falling on deaf ears as they quickly discover the only road to survival is to (uncharacteristically) fight back with the same venom and ferocity being set upon them. Or, at an exceedingly lucky pinch, flee. A question hangs as this rapid-fire bridge concludes: will they be able to run hard enough and fast enough to win the empty redemption of Hooper's heroine, or does Craven's nihilistic fate await them?
In its second half the film does an utter volte-face, eschewing traditional horror motifs in favour of a transgressive Mexican stand-off. Here, any last trace of horror is clung to only in the ferocity of the gunplay depicted, and Smith flings the sort of narrative turnarounds seen in such films as Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960) about the screen with gay abandon. Rescue the hero figure? Let's try forcing him violently into the background, lifting his profile in what passes for a crucial plot turn, then off both him and any prospect of said thread materialising through traditional cause and effect. Establish a buddy cop movie (in John Goodman's ATF Special Agent Joseph Keenan and Kevin Pollak's ATF Special Agent Brooks) and kill half of it off after a snatch of minutes – mid-sentence.
It is in this phase that the film seeks to shock at every turn, but these are not shocks for their own sake. They are designed to shake the audience out of any last sense of complacency it might foolishly have been clinging to by this stage in the proceedings, to remind it that the only rule is that there are no rules. On this count, it is surprisingly disappointing that Smith is prepared to spare the only truly innocent characters in his dark fable – those children in the cult still too young to decide for themselves if it really is a righteous path – but then perhaps that is essential to his point. That we are wicked, one and all, save for the truly innocent. (The taint, actions and fate of Stephen Root's aptly christened Sheriff Wynan support this reading.) Smith is a faithful Catholic – is this the message he takes from his faith? Or does faith play no part in a narrative that goes to great lengths to rationalise all mysteries? Cooper is damned to his own Sodom and Gomorra, imprisoned by the state he railed against and liable to be butt-fucked on a daily basis, but are the children forever tainted? Is the Five Points Church dead or sleeping?
(An earlier draft of Smith's screenplay purportedly refused to play ball with a rational view of the universe, depicting a Rapture that spares none but Keenan – and even his fate is ambiguous. It is a directness that, unlike the completed film, would have worked against the power of Smith's passion.)
We then come to another lift from Psycho in the form of a prolonged epilogue in which suited experts dissect any hanging ambiguities. Smith's use of this scene to give Keenan a platform to proselytise goes towards excusing its duration, and his opportunity to expound his own beliefs at length effectively balances Cooper's earlier sermon. It is a counterpoint but not to find balance – Keenan's views exist as the final word, as an allegedly objective but ultimately righteous overview of events. His world-weary ATF agent is designed as the film's Voice of Reason, and Goodman's exhausted delivery lends his character's views a calmness that translates as reasonableness.
Smith's self-distribution of Red State has backfired on him, with the film receiving two exceedingly brief runs on US screens. (A week on one screen, and much later a single simultaneous exhibition on a number of screens.) Its prospects for building an audience are better beyond its home shores, but given its fierce criticisms of right wing Christianity and a state that readily embraces self-armament as a right equal to free speech, it is likely to play better in foreign territories anyway. With luck it will join the ranks of earlier American nightmares in the hearts of cult film aficionados through revivals and a second existence on home video. It is simultaneously a harsh inquisition on morality itself and an affirming demolition of cinema from which freer forms of filmic expression might arise.

They are soft leather, but don't quite fit. Remember? The tips of my toes touch the ground as I walk. Where were we going? Coffee and bread, something warm and sweet, a rising cry. The drifting signatures of unseen lives. I trail my hand along rose-coloured bricks. Our footsteps echo and I look back. Your eyes are bluer here. We move through pale amber, resinous and slowing; this street is endless, we are fixed here already.
You gather my hair, slowly, and slowly wind it over and around your hand and lift it up, slowly, above the nape of my neck so I am cooled; the day is hotter now. A cyclist weaves a silent semi-circle, a tyre brushing the kerb; it is we who should have moved, but in that moment we were sculpted there.
We turn and retrace our steps, upward-sloping, and on the stiff white sheets the bag of oranges spilling open. You returned with them before I was up; the day stretches back and back. This room with its pale walls and long linen-covered bolster and crumbling stone balcony where later we stand, leaning out into the day, segmenting oranges, one after the other, the juice sweet as sugar and the tips of my toes black with the dust of Venice.

Rotary raises funds for new play area
More than 50 members of the Rotary Club of Long Beach gathered with Long Beach Day Nursery staff and board members on May 23 to celebrate the opening of Rotary Village, a new play area at Long Beach Day Nursery's West Branch.
About 20 LBDN preschoolers also joined in the fun. Spearheaded by Rotary President Gregory Haeseler, with assistance from Rotarians Jean Bixby Smith and Carl Ann Wylie, the Rotary Village campaign raised close to $50,000 for the creation of the play area. Greg and Jean are both honorary board members of LBDN and also past board chairs. Carl Ann is a former board member as well.
Under clear blue skies, guests were able to wander through Rotary Village, composed of various child-sized make-believe buildings, including a store, cottage and caf?; a gas station; a creek (made from poured-in-place rubber); and a winding brick path engraved with the names of donors. A cheery sign welcomes guests and reminds visitors of the Rotary Four Way Test: "Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?" Another sign acknowledges all the major donors to the project.
Haeseler welcomed and thanked all the guests.
"We wanted to do something special, something lasting, to commemorate the Day Nursery's 100th Anniversary and recognize the decades-long relationship between Rotary and the Day Nursery," he said. "Hundreds of children will play in Rotary Village and will see the Four Way Test every day."
He was joined by Patrice Wong, executive director of LBDN (and Rotarian) who also acknowledged the generosity of all the Rotarians and reminded guests that the Rotary Club of Long Beach raised the funds to purchase the property and build the West Branch in 1926.

China's 20th Communist Party Congress is expected to give President Xi Jinping a norm-breaking third term in power
Beijing (AFP) - China's five-yearly Communist Party Congress began its closing session on Saturday, with President Xi Jinping likely to seal an unprecedented third term in power.
Xi began delivering a speech about midday (0400 GMT) in one of the final events of the week-long gathering at Beijing's Great Hall of the People.
The closing ceremony will conclude a week of largely rubber-stamp meetings among 2,300 party delegates, who will approve a reshuffle of the party's top leadership likely to have been determined well in advance.
However in an unexpected move at such a heavily choreographed event, former leader Hu Jintao was led out of the closing ceremony. No official explanation was given.
The new Central Committee of around 200 senior Party officials was elected shortly after 11 am Saturday, state media agency Xinhua reported, without disclosing a full list of members.
Timeline of world-leaders during the time of the leardership of Xi Jinping, the Secretary General of the Chinese Communist Party.
Delegates also voted to endorse Xi's "work report" delivered at the Congress's opening last Sunday and rubber-stamped a resolution on the Party's constitution.
Xi is now widely expected to be unveiled as general secretary on Sunday, shortly after the first meeting of the new Central Committee.
This will allow Xi to sail through to a third term as China's president, due to be announced during the government's annual legislative sessions in March.
Xi previously abolished the presidential two-term limit in 2018, paving the way for him to rule indefinitely.
The weekend will also see the new Central Committee approve a reshuffled 25-member Politburo, as well as a Politburo Standing Committee – China's apex of power – of around seven people, which analysts expect to be stacked with Xi allies.
Security was tight on Tiananmen Square on the closing day of Congress
At Sunday's Congress opening ceremony, Xi delivered a 105-minute speech lauding the party's achievements and glossing over domestic problems such as the stalling economy and the damage wrought by his harsh zero-Covid policy.
Heavy on ideological rhetoric and light on policy, a defiant Xi also urged Communist Party members to steel themselves against numerous challenges including a hardening geopolitical climate.
"We must… be ready to withstand high winds, choppy waters and even dangerous storms," he said.
"Confronted with drastic changes in the international landscape, especially external attempts to blackmail, contain, (and) blockade… China, we have put our national interests first."
Security was also a main focus of the speech, in which Xi lauded Hong Kong's transition from "chaos to governance" and vowed to "never commit to abandoning the use of force" to seize the self-ruled island of Taiwan.
The work report "is a carefully scripted drama through which the power of the Party, its leader, and its ideas are meant to be elevated and amplified", wrote David Bandurski, editor of the University of Hong Kong's China Media Project.
- Power grab -
The Congress this week is likely to further cement Xi's position as China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, with analysts predicting he is virtually certain to be reappointed for a third term in power.
But some key questions remain unresolved, including whether Xi, 69, will appoint a potential successor to the Politburo Standing Committee and whether a pithier form of his signature political philosophy will be enshrined in the charter of the 96-million-strong party.
The latter would make Xi Jinping Thought "the latest, 21st-century rendition of Marxism (and) the state ideology of China", said Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute at the University of London.
"Xi's power will be akin to that of the dictator of China, and there will be next to no scope for anyone to advise him to attempt course correction," Tsang told AFP.
"This will increase the risk of policy mistakes being made, as everything will depend on Xi getting it right."

What Happens If I Only File One Of My Two W2s
By Davis Clarkson , March 3 2021
Let's paint a picture of many people during tax season. They have filed their yearly returns and are either celebrating a refund or annoyed at a return. But then a pesky second W2 comes in the mail. Have you ever been in this position of filing only one W2 at tax time when you needed to submit two or more?
Asking yourself, "what happens if I am a dependent filing taxes and only file one of my 2 W2s" should not be a stress-inducer. There are a lot of individuals in your shoes in a similar situation. Submitting your second W2 to account for all income puts you in an honest and legal space when it comes to your taxes.
Continue reading below for the why and how behind W2 tax filing when you have multiple forms to submit (or amend).
Explaining What Happens If I am a Dependent Filing Taxes and Only File One of 2 W2s
A W2 shares the number of wages you received as a business's employee and taxes withheld on those wages. Simply put, W2 tax filing exposes your full income from the year to the IRS when tax season comes around. There are many forms associated with representing your income to the IRS, and it can be confusing.
For example, W2s and W4s are both used in understanding your entire yearly income. The difference between a W2 and W4 form is the amount you will owe when filing your taxes. You can submit a W4 to tell your employer how much to withhold from each paycheck for taxes. Withholding more throughout the year prevents large tax payouts, no matter how many W2s you file.
None of your income goes unseen, which means filing only one W2 can impact your standing with the IRS.
The IRS Tracking Method
Do you cover your yearly expenses and necessities with multiple streams of income? If you answered yes, you need to account for filing two W2s or more from your various employers. You live a hectic life in your day-to-day. Tracking your income can be difficult if you are working two jobs and having to file two W2 forms.
However, the IRS keeps track of your job movements related to the income you bring in and taxes withheld on each paycheck. Your social security number (SSN) is the identifier that follows your income from job to job. The IRS utilizes your unique number to ensure it knows what your income is each year.
Social security numbers will prominently label each W2, tax return, and any official forms or documentation you send to the IRS. This means that each W2 you receive, even after you've filed your yearly taxes, is not something you can ignore.
The Process Filing Only One W2
So what happens if I am a dependent filing taxes and only file one of my 2 W2s? You need to account for all income of your income on your tax return to avoid audits and major future penalties. Filing all of the W2s you receive is a must, but there are different processes to follow if you are receiving a refund or owning the government.
If you account for the full year income even with filing only one W2, you don't need to move forward with the following steps. This is for employees who have not accounted for all income and didn't go through filing two W2s.
When You're Receiving a Tax Refund
Don't you love the feeling when your tax return comes back to say that you are getting a refund? Everyone gives a little whoop of joy to see that. But the IRS may keep your refund from you if you need to move forward with filing two W2s. You will either receive the refund or a letter stating that you need to file an amended return before your refund is issued.
You will not be charged with penalties in this case. However, the IRS will give you a limited amount of time to submit an amended return. To get your money, you need to submit it! If you receive your refund even with filing only one W2, you are smart to submit an amendment. You may be owed a larger refund, depending on the second W2.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to receive the money you deserve.
When You Have a Balance Due
But what happens if I am a dependent filing taxes and only file one of my 2 W2s and have a balance due? You need to take action as soon as possible in this circumstance. The Internal Revenue Service wants the full amount it's owed just as you do in filing your taxes. Not reporting your entire income and filing only one W2 means the balance you owe may be more than what's reported.
This jeopardizes your standing with the IRS and places penalties and fines on your return. You must wait for the IRS to file your return before taking action. You will need to submit an amended tax return by the IRS deadline. The sooner you take action, the better, as the IRS may hold future refunds from you if you don't follow up on the W2 tax filing.
You may be able to submit the first return and the amended before the April 15th deadline if you're timely. However, you can file an amended return after April 15th to ensure your filing two W2s in quick succession.
Best Practices to Filing Two W2s
You don't need to fear if you are stuck with the question of what happens if I am a dependent filing taxes and only file one of my 2 W2s. Multiple streams of income and switching jobs halfway through the year are regular occurrences. But you do want to take action on W2 tax filing as the IRS tracks your income regularly through your SSN.
Filing an amended tax return is essential to keep yourself in good standing. It's not necessary in the first case but pivotal in the second. Make sure you are following up as needed if a second W2 arrives in your mailbox. Make your W2s with ease using our services so you or your employees can avoid the need for amended filing. Learn all you need to know about the form W2!
Lastly, you can create paystubs using our paystub maker if you need proof of income document.

After winning every preseason game they played, the Rollins Women's Soccer team played in their first home game—an exhibition match—on September 17 against the Eastern Florida Titans.
The Tars were up for the challenge to play the number-one ranked junior community college, despite the game being considered an exhibition match.
Kathryn O'Brien '19 cruised down the final third of the field, passing players left and right to score an early, unassisted goal in the ninth minute. For her skill, O'Brien has been named Sunshine State Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row.
The Tars continued to outshoot the Titans, but the second goal did not come until the 85th minute. Ali Jenkins '17 raced down the right side of the field, and just as it seemed that the ball was going out, Jenkins saved it, passing it into the box where Sarah Buckley '19 found the back of the net— 2-0.
On Wednesday, September 21, the Tars are back on the road to play the Tampa Spartans. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. This game will signal the start of the team's regular season and will be their first game of the Sunshine State Conference.

Wally Phillips died the other day, which may or may not mean anything to you.
But in his day, Phillips hosted the most popular drive-time radio show on the planet, reaching 1.5 million listeners each morning from his studio in Chicago.
With a wickedly quick wit that belied a disarmingly soft delivery, Phillips embodied the power of radio during the '60s and '70s.
Before tape decks, CD players and iPods, radio was it – the soundtrack for a generation of lives on the go, or soon to be there.
I heard Kennedy was shot … on the radio.
I first heard the Beatles … on the radio.
I listened to Ernie Banks' 500th home run … on the radio.
It's easy to get nostalgic about this sort of stuff, but the challenges faced by radio today – not unlike those faced by newspapers – are far too easily dismissed as signs of the time.
When we allowed those familiar voices into our homes, we became part of a community of listeners. The same is true, I suppose, of today's shouters and shock jocks, but a Rush Limbaugh or a Howard Stern isn't going to bring together a town and people from all walks of life the way Wally Phillips did when he helped create WGN Radio's Neediest Kids Fund. Blacks, whites, Democrats, Republicans – they've contributed more than $35 million over the years for disadvantaged children in the Chicago area.
Even when it simply entertained us, radio gave us a sense of place.
The station names alone were part of who we were. WGN is short for "World's Greatest Newspaper," motto of the Chicago Tribune, which also owns the station. WLS, during my day the most popular Top 40 station in Chicago, stood for World's Largest Store, slogan for then-station owner Sears, Roebuck and Co.
The biggest Chicago disc jockey of that era was Larry Lujack, whom old-timers here might remember from his days at KFXM 590 in San Bernardino.
The call letters have changed – to KTIE – and the format's no longer Top 40, but KFXM remains in the hearts of those here who remember when local radio was an indispensable part of life in the Inland Empire.
Podcasts, satellite radio, national syndication and MP3s have changed that world as we knew it.
Even the downloads of the old shows aren't the same. Not when you know you're the only one listening.

Knowing when Maine scallop season is in large part depends on what part of the coast you are scalloping at, how you are scalloping, and which scallop you are fishing for. In general, Maine scallop season occurs throughout the winter months but begins in late fall and ends in early spring. Depending on the method of scalloping, diving or dragging, the scallop harvest runs from mid-to-late November through March 31.
Does Maine Regulate Scallop Limits?
Scallops are one of the most prized and valuable types of seafood in Maine. Because of that, the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) carefully monitors and regulates the inshore fishing industry, which extends to three miles from shore. The inshore scallop season is restricted according to established zones along the coast. Daily possession limits are in place in each zone and the minimum size is limited to scallops that are 4 inches in diameter or larger.
To protect the resource, areas in each zone are monitored closely and are subject to closure for the season if scalloping approaches unsustainable harvesting levels. DMR also implements emergency or experimental closures in depleted areas to allow scallop populations to rebound.
Offshore Atlantic sea scallop fishing is governed by the New England Fishery Management Council. Atlantic sea scallops in federal waters along the Northwestern Atlantic Coast are not overfished nor is overfishing occurring. Offshore scallop fishing is not overfished. The areas (those beyond three miles from shore) at sea are opened and closed on a rotational basis when needed.
How are Scallops Harvested?
There are two methods used to fish scallops, either by dayboat or by diver. The more efficient means of harvesting scallops is by mechanical drag from a dayboat trawler. Unlike dredging which is used to burrow deep into the bottom sediment for clams, dragging only harvests the scallops (and other animals such as urchins and mussels) from the surface of the seafloor. Dayboat scalloping gets its name from the length of time the trawlers are out to sea—no more than 24 hours to ensure the freshness of the catch. Dayboat fishing trips can be done inshore or offshore as long as they return on time.
Inshore scallop fishing, i.e., within state waters, is also done by SCUBA divers. "Diver scallops" or "dive caught scallops" are those collected by hand and placed into mesh bags. The diver season runs longer, from November to April, and is considered more eco-friendly because the hand-selection allows for the catch to be limited to larger, mature scallops. To be sure, diver caught scallops are exponentially more time consuming and as a result, the price is often much higher than those caught via dragging.
The Difference Between Sea Scallops and Bay Scallops
- Sea Scallops are the most common class in Maine. They are noted for their larger shells and edible meat and are caught further from land.
- Bay scallops, on the other hand, are not indigenous to Maine. Technically speaking, the northern range of bay scallops extends only to Cape Cod. However, smaller scallops caught in shallow waters closer to bays and estuaries may sometimes be identified as bay scallops.
The Potential of Culturing Scallops
Pressure on inshore scallop populations has prompted efforts to culture scallops. In such environments, bay or sea scallops can be produced. The potential market for Maine farm-raised scallops is very positive. Scallops may respond more quickly to farming initiatives because they reproduce more quickly in smaller numbers. A mature female scallop produces over a hundred million eggs annually. The grow-out time from egg or spat, to a harvest size that is commercially viable takes an estimated twenty-four to thirty-six months.
The Sustainability of Maine's Scallop Population
Scallops are a vital part of Maine's seafood industry. For that reason, sustainable efforts are underway in Maine to protect scallop populations. The DMR limits the inshore scallop season to winter and also monitors the catch daily. Areas are subject to closure when scallop harvest levels decline. More promising is the economics and profitability of scallop farming. Continued farming initiatives ensure scallops are sustainably harvested in Maine's waters for generations to come.

Light and Electron Microscopic studies on the Development of Soybean Rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd.) in Susceptible Soybean leaves 1983 Uredospores (=Urediospores) Function: Other. Observation of whole-leaf mounts revealed that 12 hours post infection (hpi) the majority of spores had germinated (Koch et al., 1983).(Koch) Germ tube Function: Other. Germ tubes varied from 5 to 400 microns (Koch and Hoppe, 1988). Urediospores germ tubes that do not form infection structures die within a few days (Heath, 1995).(KochE) Appressoria Function: Other. Appressoria develops over anticlinal walls, the center of epidermal cells or, rarely, over stomata(Koch) Appressorial cone Function: Other. Penetration of the leaves started with the formation of a funnel-shape structure in the appressorium. Similar structures were observed in other fungal parasites and named"appressorial cone". We use this term tentatively with the recognition that there are morphological differences in the structure of the appressorial cone of different fungi.Penetration of the leaves always occurred directly through the cuticle.(Koch) Penetration hypha Function: Other. The development of the penetration hypha resulted from the elongation of the appressorial cone (Koch et al.,1983). The penetration hyphae emerged from the floor of the appressorium where the latter contacted the membrane surface. Apparently, this event corresponds to the"directional peg emergence" observed in the stomata entering rust fungi (Koch and Hoppe, 1988).The hypha penetrates the epidermal cell wall of the host, transversed the cell and reached the intercellular space of the spongy or pallisade mesophyll where the first septum was formed delimiting the penetration hypha from the primary hypha. Transversing of the epidermal cell was completed about 20 hpi (Koch et al., 1983).(Koch)(KochE) Primary hyphae or infection hyphae Function: Other. Intercellular growth strated with the formation of the first septum delimiting the penetration hyphae from the Infection hyphae (Heath) or primary hypha (Koch) : the latter then branced to form secondary hyphae.(Koch)(Heath) Mycelium Function: Other. Three days post infection (dpi) a considerably amount of mycelium had developed in the spongy mesophyll. In the center of these mycelial conglomerates epidermal and mesoophyll cells of the host became necrotic giving rise to lesions which were macroscopically visible 6 dpi. Lateral spread of the fungus commonly continued by the formation of hyphae resembling runner hyphae of cereal rusts.Hyphal spread was restricted by leaf veins. Minor veins were often crossed, but larger vascular bundles stopped the spread of the fungus.(Koch) Uredia formation Function: Other. Uredia were commonly formed in the spongy mesophyll, liberating the spores on the lower surface of the leaf. Similar to other rust fungi, the first evidence of uredia formation in P. pachyrhizi was the aggregation of hyphae into uredial prinordia. Those structures were first visible 8dpi. Uredospore production started 3-4 days later through a uredial opening lined with several layers of clavate, paraphysoid cells, that obviously derived from the outer cell layers of developing uredia. When the uredium matures, the epidermis ruptures and uredospores are released(Koch) Uredospores Function: Other. Formation of uredospores is based on a sporogenous cell which by budding and septum formation produces a spore initial. By a second septum the uredospore initial is separated into a proximal pedicel and a distal, immature uredospore. It results in a column-like series of three cells lying one upon the other: the sporogenous cell, the pedicell , and the uredospore . The mechanism of uredospore development has been observed with different Pucciniaceae and Melampsoraceae(Koch) Haustoria mother cell (HMC) Function: Other. Haustoria mother cell was was delimited by a septum from the intercellular mycelium contained two nuclei and appeard closely appressed to the host wall in the region of penetration.(Koch) Infection peg Function: Other. At the site of host cell penetration the haustorial mother cell was thickened. The host cell wall was breaced by a thin infection peg originating from the inner layer of the haustorial mother cell wall. The infection peg expanded to form an haustorial neck which had an electron opaque neckband and terminated in the haustorial body.(Koch) Haustoria Function: Other. Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi differentiate specialized infection structures within the living cells of their host plants. These haustoria have been linked to nutrient uptake ever since their discovery. We have for the first time to our knowledge shown that the flow of sugars from the host Vicia faba to the rust fungus Uromyces fabae seems to occur largely through the haustorial complex (Voegele et al., 2001). Formation of the first haustorium ocurred between 24 and 48 hpi. The fungus continues to spread rapidily through the tissue forming a dense mycelium, filling the intercellular space and inserting haustoria into mesophyll and epidermal cells. One cell often contained two or more haustoria. Haustorial formation resembled that known from other rust fungi (Koch et al., 1983).(Koch)(Voegele et al., 2001)
