What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Linear Programming?
Advantages of linear programming include that it can be used to analyze all different areas of life, it is a good solution for complex problems, it allows for better solution, it unifies disparate areas and it is flexible. The disadvantages of this system include that not all variables are linear, unrealistic expectations are made during the process and there are often limitations imposed on the final solution.
One of the reasons that linear programming is so useful is because it can be used in so many different areas of life, from economic puzzles and social problems to industrial issues and military matters. In addition, because it can take into account multiple factors, linear programming can be used to solve complex problems. Linear programming allows for a better quality solution because it considers many factors and limitations instead of just guessing at a solution. It is also advantageous because it unifies many different areas and takes them into account. As long as something can be quantified in a linear manner, it can be brought into account. Because of this openness in what factors can be included, linear programming is very flexible.
However, there are also disadvantages to linear programming. These include the fact that usually all of the variables that need to be taken into account in order to solve a problem cannot be quantified in a linear manner. The assumptions made in linear programming are also unrealistic, because a linear relationship assumes that factors never really change, when in reality they do. Finally, limiting the range of the problem also limits the possible solutions that are given in the problem.

A combination of radar and optical observations is the current approach to track and classify space debris population with a size of 10 cm and above, but still there are opportunities for innovative techniques that can complement current observation procedures. Here, we propose the use of polarimetric information coming from passively solar illuminated space debris, combined with irradiance only measurements, to characterise these objects in a more comprehensive way.
Polarimetry has showed utility in detecting geometry and material characteristics with resolved images, but there are a few studies characterising its use with passively solar illuminated Resident Space Objects (RSO). New and challenging issues arise with this application, such as the presence of a turbulence atmosphere along the light path, the light curve response in the case of tumbling space debris, the unresolved imagery in the sensor, the strong uncertainty of the predicted orbit due to unknown object shape which complicates its optical tracking, or the reduced photon count captured in the image sensors due to trade-off with temporal precision.
Polarimetric signatures depend on the type of material being imaged and the angle of incidence with the Sun. Polarimetric imaging can provide information on surface microstructure and relative material composition. Combining polarimetric data with irradiance only measurements at coincident times allows for possible inference of useful information to detect debris geometrical attitude, tumbling status and period, size or type of material, which could impact the accuracy of its predicted orbit.
The Space Team at UNSW Canberra have recently developed capabilities to detect and track objects in LEO as small as 10 cm (such as 1U CubeSat’s) with moderate size telescopes (0.3 metres in diameter). We have conducted preliminary studies on RSO in geostationary orbit using simultaneous polarimetric and irradiance measurements. We have developed a novel observational setup to obtain these signatures, which is based on the acquisition of combined observations of the same geostationary satellite from two different telescopes separated 1 km from each other, simultaneously measuring polarized light at different angles at one location and irradiance only at the other location, with less than 1 ms delay between observations. We have successfully inferred Stokes parameters, S1, S2 and Degree of Linear Polarization (DoLP) of a set of single and co-located geostationary satellites as a function of time, and compared with the irradiance only measurements S0. Results from these tests show different polarization signatures S1 and S2 for co-located satellites and also that these signatures are not correlated with S0 measurements, which validates its combined use to detect object distinct features. These results show a promising path to follow, but still require further investigation to confirm this technique as a classification tool for geosynchronous satellites.
With this acquired knowledge and experience, and with further investigation through modelling and observation into the space environmental effects on awkwardly shaped object in LEO, we are extending this technique for space debris objects as small as 10 cm, and we expect to obtain preliminary results for real on-sky observations during the first half of 2017.

Ways To Get Business Financing When You Have Bad Credit
Looking to get company funding can be extremely annoying for business people which have bad credit that is personal. Entrepreneurs face rejection that is constant lending organizations that are weary of working together with business people which have bad credit. It may be a bleak situation.
To get company funding is extremely difficult for entrepreneurs which have bad credit – it’s possible. Nonetheless, you have to be practical about any of it. You may never be in a position to get all of the funding you need, at the very least initially. The terms is almost certainly not probably the most favorable and also you shall should get through some hurdles. If all goes well, this is just short-term.
With all the strategy that is right approach, you ought to be capable of getting funding. Utilize that financing carefully to develop your company. Once you’ve developed a background, getting extra funding will be easier.
Getting funded is a matter of establishing goals that are realistic understanding where loan providers are arriving from, and what they’re trying to find in a job candidate.
You don’t require financing?
Before trying to find financing, carefully examine your situation and figure out in the event that you actually need financing. This can help you save lot of time and frustration. Understand that numerous cashflow dilemmas could be fixed by adjusting the way you work and without needing funding.
But, in case the economic issues are because of growth or you absolutely need financing, concentrate on funding alternatives that have the best likelihood of getting approved. We shall talk about three options in this specific article.
How come your credit matter?
In the event that you have a business that is large expert supervisors, significant assets, and lots of workers, your private credit won’t matter much. […]

Dr. J. Morgan Wells (1940-2017)
Dr. Morgan Wells, a pioneer in the diving world and founding director of the NOAA Diving Program, passed away on July 28, 2017. He will be remembered fondly by his colleagues at NOAA and in the diving community.
Dr. Wells was best known for developing the NOAA Nitrox I (32% O2/N2) and II (36% O2/N2) mixtures and their respective decompression tables in the late 1970s. Thanks to his research and testing efforts, these mixtures are now widely used in the scientific and recreational diving communities. He later developed NOAA Trimix I, a mixture of oxygen, helium, and nitrogen used in deep diving. Aside from his breakthroughs in breathing gas mixtures, he was also known for conducting research in undersea habitats, where people, known as aquanauts, can live for extended periods of time. Dr. Wells has been credited with having spent more time living on the ocean floor as an aquanaut, and having lived in more habitats than any diver on the planet.
Although Dr. Wells was employed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from 1972 until his retirement in 1995 and produced some of his most significant discoveries and accomplishments while working at NOAA, his love for diving and passion for the physics and mechanics of diving were evident very early in his life. He began diving at the age of 14, after making his own surface-supplied diving system out of a paint sprayer and a motor-scooter engine. A year later, Wells built an oxygen rebreather from surplus aircraft respirator parts by looking at diagrams in the U.S. Navy Diving Manual. He used that unit for several years to dive in the ocean, rivers, lakes and under the ice. By 17, he was writing letters to the Navy to alert them of technical errors in the Navy Diving Manual. When compressed air became available in his area, he switched to open circuit air diving and earned money teaching SCUBA diving while in college.
He received scientific diving training at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California) in 1962 while receiving his Ph.D. in physiology. In 1965 he was accepted as a U.S. Navy Sealab Aquanaut for their “Man in the Sea” project and later received mixed gas and rebreather training at the US Navy Mine Defense Lab in Panama City, Florida. Later that year, he served as a Sealab II Aquanaut during a 15-day, 205 foot helium/oxygen saturation dive, beginning a 30-year career in undersea habitat diving. In addition to Sealab, he also dove inside TEKTITE, EDALHAB, HYDROLAB, PRINUL, HELGOLAND (Germany), and LORA (Canadian, under ice). Dr. Wells also served as operations director for special missions of HYDROLAB and HELGOLAND (in U.S. waters).
Dr. Wells began working at NOAA soon after NOAA was established in 1970. Starting in 1971, NOAA Diving was overseen by the Manned Undersea Science and Technology Office, where Dr. Wells served as science coordinator from 1972 until 1975. His duties included coordinating and conducting undersea research with scientists from around the globe. In 1975 he was appointed NOAA Diving Coordinator, where he was responsible for all aspects of NOAA’s diving training, safety, and effectiveness.
When the NOAA Diving Program was created in 1978, he was appointed director, maintaining his duties as NOAA Diving Coordinator and assuming the administrative duties of the Director. In 1989 Dr. Wells achieved his career-long ambition of creating the NOAA Experimental Diving Unit (EDU). He happily left the Washington, DC area for the new NOAA EDU, which was housed at the U.S. Army Diving Detachment at Fort Eustis, VA.
Dr. Wells’ early research interests were centered on the respiration of marine organisms as related to temperature and oxygen concentration. He used undersea habitats and diving frequently for studies of symbiotic systems of algae and invertebrates (corals, giant clams, sea anemones). His Ph.D. dissertation research was on the effects of pressure on human hemoglobin oxygen binding properties. He then studied the effects of elevated nitrogen pressure on the oxygen binding properties of hemoglobin of humans and deep diving seals, which eventually led him to the development of Nitrox and Trimix breathing mixtures that benefited all divers.
Dr. Wells’ most recent work (1995-1996) was related to gas separation technology and low energy consumption life support systems for long term undersea habitation.
Dr. Wells was also responsible for starting the diving medical curriculum at NOAA, having organized and taught (for 20 years) a Diver Medical Technician (DMT) course. In the late 1970s he also designed a training program with the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) for physicians in diving and hyperbaric medicine. The NOAA/UHMS Physicians Training in Diving Medicine is the only course of its kind taught in the United States and is the most widely respected civilian program of its nature in the country to this day.
Ever active, he continued to teach a class in the Physicians Training in Diving Medicine course alongside other respected medical professionals in the field, lecturing on undersea habitats and nitrogen breathing mixtures. He taught his last class for the NOAA/UHMS course on October of 2016.
His many contributions and his ever inquiring mind will continue to inspire and benefit the progress of diving physiology, the pursuit of scientific research underwater, and the diving community at large.

Despite my deep affection for cheese, to the point that one of my favorite things to do on a New York City weekend is to dip into Murray’s and treat us to something crumbly or aged or rich and runny, I don’t love cheese plates. It feels really good to get this off my chest. At first, it was just a budget issue; I still feel the sticker shock from the first time I tried to put together one of those cute boards with five or six different wedges on them, plus the crackers, breads, pickles, dried fruit, toasted almonds, olives, cured meats, and all of the other minimum requirements of our latter-day horns of plenty. But I was also put off by the waste. Even though so much went unfinished, the leftovers were unsalvageable, as fingers, forks, knives, and crumbs got into everything (a particularly shuddering thought in the age of Covid). Instead, when people come over, or what I remember of it, I prefer to focus on one or two decadent, attention-grabbing things and nothing grabs attention on a cold winter day like warm, runny cheese.
NEW: Watch me make this baked brie on YouTube!
Baked brie was all the entertaining rage in the 1970s and 80s. Nothing was more glamorous but accessible, an imported cheese that everyone knew and could pronounce. But as Americans got more sophisticated about imported cheese — manchego! Humboldt Fog! — in a crushing fall from grace, brie became the opposite of chic. And this is where my interest piqued — dated and unhip, you say? Where can I sign up?
Thus, this is baked brie, my way. First, I use my easy galette dough for a flaky pastry that tastes a million times better than most frozen puffed pastry and requires no extra grocery store trip. I’ve never been a fan of the sweet compotes and fruity jams usually paired with brie, but I love a thin layer sweet-sour jammy red onions under and over the cheese — here, softened in butter, then wilted down further with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. A paper-thin slick of smooth Dijon mustard offsets the sweetness, a sprinkling of thyme gives it an herbal element, a scattering of sesame seeds on top adds a little extra crackle, or you can skip all three and it’s still delicious. Brie — and yes, even commercial, grocery store brie works well here — is attainably-priced and even the basic stuff warms up beautifully, so no need to splurge here. Plus, it often comes in 8-ounce rounds, absolutely perfect for our tiny, at-home New Years celebrations this week to send 2020 packing.
The Year In Smitten Kitchen
I love looking up which recipes you cooked the most each year, and could anything be more apt for 2020 than an Ultimate Banana Bread? In a year with so much none of us liked, a bright spot for me was the way the simplicity of our Covid pantries nudged me towards simpler, core recipes in previous years I foolishly dismissed as not interesting enough. You know what’s interesting? Crispy crumbled potatoes, schmaltzy roast chicken, and what I hope will be the last classic vegetable lasagna you’ll ever need. And speaking of pantries, I wrote about how I “organize” (spoiler: it’s not) my SK pantry over here and while not a recipe, it was one of the most-read posts this year. You can view all top 16 recipes from this page or individually below.
2. crispy crumbled potatoes
3. perfect vegetable lasagna
4. roast chicken with schmaltzy cabbage
5. any-kind-of-fruit galette
6. simple, essential bolognese
7. whole wheat chocolate oat cookies
8. sweet potato salad with pepita dressing
10. vanilla custard slices
11. chicken, leek, and rice soup
12. tangy braised chickpeas
13. morning glory breakfast cake
14. new classic wedding cake + how to

Baked Brie with Balsamic Red Onions
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (10 tablespoons total; 85 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons (55 grams) cold unsalted butter, diced
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 small or 1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar, light or dark
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smooth Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 (8.5-ounce or 250-gram) wheel of brie
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- Sesame seeds, ideally toasted (optional)
Make the balsamic red onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, cook the onions, stirring, until softened and beginning to lightly brown at the edges, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, balsamic, and pepper and cook, stirring, until balsamic reduces to a dark, jammy puddle, about 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
To assemble: Heat oven 400°F. Unwrap your chilled dough and reuse the parchment, if you can, to line a small baking sheet. Or, line one with a fresh sheet. Flour your counter and the top of the dough and roll into a large, thin circle, about 10 inches. Check for size by placing your brie in the middle and seeing if you have enough dough cover it across the top. No need to make a perfect circle.
Once dough is correct size, thinly spread first teaspoon of dijon in the middle, scatter half of your red onions over the dijon, and sprinkle them with half the thyme, if using. Place brie on top. Thinly spread remaining Dijon on top of brie, followed by remaining onions and thyme. Bring sides of dough up to wrap brie, making little folds to help it fit. Press edges together gently at the top.
Transfer pastry-wrapped brie to baking sheet. Brush sides, pleats, and top of pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
Bake: for 30 minutes, or until golden brown all over, rotating the tray if needed for even color. If you can bear it, let rest on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Serve: Transfer brie to a plate with a rim (it will be runny when you cut into it) and serve with crackers or baguette slices.

The plate of deep flooring was maximum resulting in rooms of rabbit warren on the upper floors. Details using balustrades, hand railing and dadoes were built for lasting and the whole inner area consists of pre-Renaissance city chaotic vibrancy. The expressionistic roof scape from various perspectives along with the street of Swanston revealed more formal fantasies from cornice of crystalline structure and Darth Vader for exhausting the hoods on the escape stairs fire to the lift overrun corrugated Matterhorn (Gombrich 2002).

"I'm pretty sure Jerry's not a true Christian."
Yet he bangs on & on about the 'Elect', and only they are predestined for salvation, but at the same time says above:
"Catholics are not Christians, but they can become real Christians if they accept the true Jesus of the Bible (as opposed to the Catholic caricature of Him) and are born again."
Which contradicts what he says. Also, sitting on the fence, re. Jack Chick: he's either 'Saved' or isn't; one can't be partially 'Saved', that's like saying that a woman is slightly pregnant.
He clearly knows jack shit about his own doctrines - which were initially codified in the Bible via the Catholics centuries ago - so he's as much a Christian as I am a Zen Buddhist.
After all, if he were a 'True Christian', and were secure in his faith, he'd have no problem in answering this question: Is the KJV is only version to be trusted, is utterly flawless in every conceivable way, and is the absolute word of your God, as authorised by a past monarch (King James I) of my country, Britain?
Is it, or isn't it?
And is said authoriser of his precious KJV & past monarch of my country, Britain, 'Saved'? Yes or No?
Remember: No 'Did you forget that the Christians don't need to prove anything to you? We don't need to care about what you think or how you feel.' excuses allowed. Answer the questions 'Is it, or isn't it, re. the KJV, and Yes or no, re. King James I being 'Saved'.
A Christian who is secure in his faith would answer those questions with no problem whatsoever.
If he doesn't, then everyone else will come to their own justified conclusions about him. That one word: Perception.

In our walk in life, there are people that we meet that are passing strangers, others are good acquaintances, while others lead to friendships. It is when you find that connection to another human being that mirrors your soul that even from the beginning a bond of friendship is forged. That’s how I felt when I met Melissa Philips, owner of Hidden Acre Farm. She has such a lovely personality and a sexy English accent. She sells edible bouquets, edible flowers, salad mix and microgreens.
And so I had a cool idea of making my first very own flower salad, which I named after Melissa’s farm.
Hidden Acre Flower Salad
3 cups of Salad Mix, chopped
a few microgreens on top or watercress
a few edible flowers
1. Arrange the salad mix on the plate. Add the microgreens or watercress.
2. Top it with edible flowers. Feast with your eyes before you eat it with your favorite dressing.
As my husband said, it’s quite weird to eat the flowers. It definitely has a mild watercress taste with a hint of mint and notes of sweetness. I sent Melissa a couple of pictures and she replied, “Wow, that looks amazing! The best I’ve ever seen them look”. She invited me to visit her farm. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do that this week. And perhaps plan for a Farm-To-Table Dinner for limited seats only, before summer ends.
What a wonderful acquaintance from farmer’s market to farm!

Brandon and Kamala Harris on Thursday met with members of the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force to discuss the allocation of money to repair roads, bridges and more.
Brandon forgot the name of his infrastructure czar…. again!
“I’m gonna turn it over to the…uh…the guy who, uh…” Brandon said of his infrastructure czar, former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
After a brief meeting, Brandon’s handlers shooed away reporters.
Brandon stared blankly at a reporter who asked about the Ukrainian President’s “no minor incursions” comment.
Brandon essentially gave a green light to Putin to enter Ukraine during Wednesday’s presser.
“My guess is he will move in,” Brandon said of Putin invading Ukraine. “He has to do something.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pushed back on Brandon on Thursday.
“We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted.
We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. I say this as the President of a great power 🇺🇦
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) January 20, 2022
Brandon motioned for the reporter to leave and didn’t answer his question.

Apparently, linebacker Rocky Calmus will not be re-signed by the Colts. Indy traded a 7th round pick for Calmus last year. He tore is knee in his first practice, and sat all year on the injured list.
One linebacker that will come back next year is fan whipping boy Rob Morris. Morris signed a one-year deal, most likely for the vet minimum. Morris was a first round pick in 2000. He never panned out as a starter at MLB, but he's excellent on special teams.

What exercises are not safe first trimester?
To prevent complications, pregnant people should avoid:
- high impact exercises.
- contact sports.
- exercises with a high risk of falling, such as gymnastic or aerial sports.
- high intensity exercises that raise heart and breathing rates to such an extent that it is difficult to speak.
What core exercises are not safe during pregnancy?
Ab Exercises to Avoid During Pregnancy
“You want to avoid any kind of crunching or twisting in the torso,” Butler says. “That promotes the splitting in the abs, and afterward it can lead to hernias.” Which means doing sit-ups while pregnant is not a good idea—and neither is doing crunches or Russsian twists.
Are jumping Jacks safe during pregnancy?
When pregnant, avoid exercises that involve jumping or bouncing. It’s not the movement that is dangerous – the baby is well-padded in your uterus – but the stress it places on your ligaments and joints.
Can I do ab workouts while pregnant?
With your practitioner’s okay, it’s safe to exercise your abs throughout your entire pregnancy with the proper modifications. In fact, strengthening your abs when you’re expecting supports your pelvic organs as your baby bump gets bigger.
Can you do pushups while pregnant?
Benefits: Completed with good form, push-ups can be an effective functional exercise to strengthen your core. Yes, even for pregnant mamas.
Can I do lunges while pregnant?
Lunges are beneficial throughout pregnancy as they challenge balance and stabilization. You function unilaterally throughout the day whether you realize it or not; walking as you step from one leg to the other.
Can jumping jacks cause a miscarriage?
Miscarriage is not caused by the activities of a healthy pregnant woman, such as jumping, vigorous exercise, and frequent vaginal intercourse.

Table of Contents
The Pros And Cons Of Using Real Or Fake Plants In Your Crested Gecko’s Tank
|Using Real Plants For Your Crested Gecko|
|Your crestie will get a more natural habitat to live in||Some plants need a lot of TLC|
|They will have a lot of space to exercise and explore – especially if you change the setup when you deep clean the tank||You have to water them relatively often, which means that you need to keep a closer eye on the tank’s humidity|
|You will spend more time with your crestie while keeping their forever home neat and tidy||You need to prune them often to ensure that they don’t take over the tank.|
|If they do chew on a leaf or two, they won’t be ingesting fabric or plastic||You need to know which plants are safe and which are toxic to cresties|

|You don’t have to prune them||They can become tatty after a while|
|You don’t have to worry about them taking over the tank because they grow fast||If you need a bigger plant, you need to buy a bigger one instead of simply waiting for it to grow|
|You can easily rearrange the plants without them dying||Your crestie can get bored with the plants because they always look the same|
24 Plants That Are Safe To Use In Crested Gecko Tanks
Here is an alphabetical list of the plants that are safe to use in crested gecko tanks, including details about each plant’s size, upkeep, and more.
Creeping Wire Vine (Muehlenbeckia complexa)
A native of New Zealand, the creeping wire vine/angel vine has long, wiry tendrils and small, delicate leaves that makes it ideal as a filler for a crested gecko tank.
Angel vines like humidity, which means that they’ll thrive in a crested gecko tank. Water it once to twice a week, but make sure that the water drains well.
Angel vines prefer indirect light, so don’t plant them in the warmest part of the tank where the basking spot or other heat source is. (If you are using heat mats, that is a different story, but we’ll come to that later in this article.)
You’ll also need to trim the angel vine relatively often, as the tendrils can grow to be more than 12 feet long if left to themselves.
Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus)
The bird’s nest fern is a beautiful bright green fern that has large leaves that make for ideal hiding spots for when your crested gecko wants to cool down a bit.
As it likes the level of humidity in the cresties’ tanks and prefers moist soil, it’s best planted away from the basking spot and next to the cool hide.
The leaves of this fern can grow to be quite large, so you’ll need to prune it to keep it from getting too big for the tank. It’s not as fast-growing as many of the other plants on this list, however.
Bromeliads (Neoregelia sp.)
Bromeliads come in a wide variety of colors and can be used to great effect in your crested gecko’s tank. They’re especially handy when you want to add pops of color and they’re also easy to grow in a tank as they naturally grow on the sides of trees.
You can give them a cork or bark base to grow on and to stabilize them for when your crestie climbs around on them.
Great bromeliad additions to your crested gecko tank includes:
Chinese Evergreens (Aglaonema)
The Chinese evergreen is a fast-growing, beautiful plant that has green and white leaves. It is sturdy enough for your crested gecko to climb on and makes a great focal point when planted at the back of the tank.
Just remember that the Chinese evergreen likes humidity but doesn’t like too much water, so make sure that the soil dries out a bit between watering.
As far as low-maintenance crestie plants go, this is one of the plants that you can mostly just leave alone and prune when necessary.
Concinna Prayer Plant (Calathea concinna)
The concinna prayer plant – so called because the leaves open and close in the morning and evening like hands in prayer – has dark, waxy leaves and thrives in a humid environment.
The prayer plant does need more TLC than some of the other plants on this list and, when watering, make sure that you keep the well-draining soil moist, but the leaves dry.
Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila)
This creeper is ideal for use at the back of the tank and it forms a mat-like tangle of vines that your crested gecko can climb around on. It also “sticks” to just about any surface, making it an ideal backdrop or filler plant for any crestie tank.
When we say it thrives in humid conditions, we actually mean that you’ll need to trim this creeper very often to keep it in check and not let it take over the whole tank. It’s an unbelievably fast grower.
Dwarf Umbrella Tree (Schefflera arboricola)
This smallish tree with its fanned clusters of leaves (hence “umbrella”) and sturdy trunk is ideal for crested gecko clambering and climbing. It enjoys the humidity of the crested gecko tank and is easy to keep trimmed down to size.
Plant it on the cooler side of the tank and let the soil dry out a bit before each watering as they don’t like too much water.
Elephant Ears (Alocasia polly)
Elephant ears have large leaves on sturdy stalks that are excellent for cresties to climb and bask on. While the plant is usually dark green with silver-white veins, some of the types of elephant ears do come in other colors.
It should be noted that the elephant ear needs quite a lot of TLC and isn’t a great plant for beginners to have in a crestie’s tank. Keep it moist and make sure that it doesn’t get direct light and it should grow quite well in your crested gecko’s tank.
Goosefoot/ Arrowhead (Syngonium)
Another awesome – and quite easy to take care of – plant for your crested gecko’s tank, is the goosefoot or arrowhead plant. Its leaves are usually green and white, but new varieties also have pink in the leaves, making it even more attractive.
Tip: If you’re looking for the goosefoot variety that contains pink, ask for the “Pink Syngonium” and “Neon Robusta” varieties.
Although this plant is really easy to grow, it does require quite a bit of maintenance as it’s a fast grower that loves to spread out.
With some help from dried bamboo to grow against and around, you can make a great vertical climbing surface for your crested gecko.
Goosefoot prefers indirect light and should be allowed to dry a bit between watering. Water about once or twice a week, depending on the size of the plant – the larger the plant, the more thirsty it’ll be.
Jade Jewel (Dracaena fragrans)
The jade jewel plant is another favorite for crested gecko tanks. Its large leaves may seem floppy, but they’re actually large enough and sturdy enough for a crested gecko to climb around on.
It also tolerates different levels of light well, so you can plant it anywhere in the tank without a problem.
Unlike some vivarium plants, the jade jewel is slow-growing, meaning that you won’t need to give it that much TLC even if your crestie is climbing about on it the whole day. Also, make sure that the soil that your jade jewel is planted in drains well.
Lemon Button Fern (Nephrolepis cordifolia)
The lemon button fern gets its name from its lemon scent and leaf shape. However, this plant is more for hiding and for show as the stems aren’t strong enough for your crestie to climb on.
The fern should also grow well if you keep it moist (but not wet) and keep it trimmed so it doesn’t take over the tank. Plant it more on the cool side of the tank as well, and not on the warm side or close to the basking spot.
Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
It is safe to use lucky bamboo in a crested gecko’s tank. You can also use bamboo canes (dried) in the tank to give your crestie extra items to climb on and explore. Some of the available bamboo are fitted with suckers so that they can be fastened to the sides of the tank.
These are easy to clean as well!
Lucky bamboo (which is actually a type of grass!), which is native to Africa, makes an ideal structural plant and focal point for your crested gecko’s tank. They can often be bought in twisted shapes, which makes the plant look even more amazing.
These succulent-like plants are ideal for your crested gecko to climb on and can serve as a “ladder” between plants of different heights in your crestie’s tank. Avoid giving the lucky bamboo too much direct light. Water the plant about once a week, keeping it moist.
Snake Plant (Sansevieria laurentii)
The Snake Plant /Mother-in-law’s tongue has straight, sword-shaped leaves that are green and creamy-white. It’s low-maintenance, but grows to a large and tall size; therefore they should only be planted in large crested gecko tanks.
Although your crestie won’t be able to climb around on the snake plant, it does serve as a great hiding place and can always be used as a focal point at the back of your crested gecko’s tank.
Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
The peace lily is able to thrive in many different temperatures and light and isn’t toxic to crested geckos, which make them ideal for crestie tanks and then also for beginner live plant keepers.
When using the peace lily in your crested gecko’s tank, keep it trimmed and make sure you don’t overwater it. Due to the humidity in the tank, it should need less water than if it was used as a normal houseplant.
Petra (Codiaeum variegatum)
The striking petra has variegated foliage that will add immediate color to your crested gecko’s tank. The broad leaves and sturdy trunk will give your crestie endless fun and when kept pruned, it won’t take up too much space.
Because of the petra’s size, it should be planted at the back of the tank to serve as structure for the rest of the plants. You can even trail some sturdy vines over and around the branches. Be sure to let the soil dry out a bit between watering.
Pillow Moss/Cushion Moss (Leucobryum glaucum)
Pillow moss really looks like their name implies and these squishy cushions are ideal for your crested gecko’s tank as they not only look great, but also keep moisture locked in and in that way help to keep the tank humid.
Your crestie can also nibble on the moss – and some cresties really like doing that.
Pink Quill (Tillandsia cyanea)
If you’re looking to add some bright color to your crested gecko’s tank, the pink quill with its bright pink stems and purple blooms is ideal. You won’t have to worry about the purple flowers; as they aren’t harmful to your crestie.
They also won’t wilt in the humid environment of your crestie’s tank.
Pothos/Devil’s Ivy (Epipremnum aureum)
The pothos or devil’s ivy is a rapid-growing vine that has bright green leaves. Low growing, it makes for excellent hiding places for your crested gecko when they want to escape the heat for a while.
This is one of the most popular plants for crested geckos and looks really good when planted more to the side of the tank as this also gives its vines space to grow.
Although pothos mostly provide shelter, its low vines are ideal for your crestie to clamber on.
Rabbit’s Foot Fern (Davallia/Humana tyermanii)
The rabbit’s foot fern is a beautiful, light green fern that grows about 5” tall. It can be planted as a terrestrial or grown as an epiphyte (grown on another plant like a weeping fig or dwarf umbrella tree).
Its rhizomes are furry and silver-white in color, and, when planted on a darker plant or pot, will look striking. The rabbit’s foot fern should remain moist, but not wet. Plant it away from direct light as well.
Radiator Plant (Peperomia)
Radiator plants only grow to about a foot tall, making them the ideal size for a crested gecko’s tank. They also only need minimal TLC – unlike some of the fast-growing plants on our list.
The dark green-black leaves of the radiator plant can look very striking when planted between the light and lime green leaves of ferns, goosefoot, etc. Give it indirect light and keep it moist, but not wet.
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Spider plants are very adaptable and will make a great addition to your crested gecko’s tank. They aren’t that fast growing, so you won’t have to trim them too often, but spider plants do need well-draining soil otherwise they are prone to root rot.
Most spider plants are white and green, although there are now also variegated varieties that are just as easy to care for.
Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)
The weeping fig is more there for making your crested gecko’s tank look good than it is for giving your crestie a tree to climb around in. You should also choose an older weeping fig that already has a thick trunk.
Your crestie will be able to climb up the trunk, so ensure that you arrange the tank so that they can also clamber around the tank from there using ledges, hammocks, bamboo, etc.
Zebra Plant (Calathea zebrina)
Not to be confused with the prayer plant, this native of Brazil can grow quite large (6ft. x 3ft.) and is only suitable for the largest of crested gecko tanks.
Some of the varieties have leaves striped in yellow or pink, making them even more striking as a display piece in your crestie’s tank.
Keep your zebra plant in check through trimming and give it indirect or diffused light to thrive. Don’t overwater it, and check that the soil drains well.
It also helps to maintain the humidity in the tank. Your crested gecko will love exploring this tree with its giant leaves!
11 Plants You Should Never Put In A Crested Gecko’s Tank
- Begonias (Begonia)
- Braken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)
- Calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica)
- Dumbcane (Dieffenbachia)
- Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis)
- Ivy (Hedera spp.)
- Mistletoe (Phoradendron villosum)
- Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans)
- Voodoo lily (Dracunculus vulgaris)
All these plants are either not a good fit for a crested gecko tank or they can be poisonous or dangerous in other ways to your crested gecko.
Still, that is no problem at all since we showed you that there are more than enough plants that are a good fit for your crestie tank.
How To Choose Which Plants To Use In Your Crested Gecko Tank
Having this long list of plants that you can use in your crested gecko’s tank can be quite overwhelming – especially since (unless you have a gigantic tank) you won’t be able to use them all at once.
However, there is a relatively simple way to choose which plants are the best for your crested gecko.
First of all, you need to take into account the age of your crested gecko and then you need to take into account the size of your crested gecko’s tank.
The Age Of Your Crested Gecko
Although your crested gecko will always want to climb, you can rather opt for smaller plants while your crestie is a baby or juvenile.
Once they’ve reached adulthood, you can then change up the tank a bit and add larger plants like the dwarf umbrella tree, zebra plant, etc.
A baby crested gecko can hide beneath smaller plants and thinner vines and stems are able to support their weight. If you use smaller plants like angel vine, you will also be able to find them easier!
An adult crested gecko will then need larger plants to support their weight when they climb around and go exploring. They will love petras, elephant ears, mother-in-law’s tongue, and bird’s nest fern.
The Size Of Your Crested Gecko’s Tank
When choosing a tank for your crested gecko, always choose a vertical one rather than a horizontal one. This is because cresties love to clamber and climb.
To only give them a horizontal tank means that they won’t get the exercise that they need to stay healthy. It can also lead to stress because they don’t have enough space.
A crested gecko’s tank must preferably measure 18″ x 18″ x 24″. This will not only give them enough floor space to move around in, but will also have enough space to add a number of plants and pieces of wood for them to climb on as well as their hides and basking spot.
A completed setup of a crested gecko’s tank should leave half of the tank’s space open for your crested gecko. Therefore, make sure that you trim and prune the plants back as they grow so that they don’t take over and fill the whole tank.
Note! Make sure that you only use sterilized wood in your crested gecko’s tank. This will ensure that you don’t bring any pests or diseases into your crestie’s tank by accident.
Can You Use Potted Plants In Crested Gecko Tanks?
Yes, you can use potted plants in your crested gecko’s tank – as long as you’re using plants that are safe for crested geckos, like those on our list above.
If you do decide to use potted plants, you should ensure that you use good-quality pots instead of just any old container.
One of our favorite types of pots to use in crested gecko tanks are terracotta pots. These pots are not only hard-wearing, but they also retain moisture much better than plastic pots.
As most of the plants that are used in crested gecko tanks need to remain moist, using clay pots like these are ideal.
Using pots also makes it a lot easier to remove the plants when you’re cleaning your crested gecko’s tank (without killing them in the process) as well as giving you ample chances to rearrange your crestie’s tank.
Start with small pots and then get larger pots as needed, hiding them in the substrate, behind hides, etc.
Tip: When a plant in your crested gecko’s tank becomes too big, you can always just remove it and keep it either as a house plant or plant it in your garden.
Using A Heat Mat When You Have Real Plants In Your Crested Gecko’s Tank
An important thing to note when using real plants in your crested gecko’s tank, is that you cannot then place a heat mat underneath the tank.
Although heat mats are often put underneath a tank in order to get the right temperature, the plants may die because their root systems get too hot (it’s normally cooler beneath the soil).
If you want to or need to use a heat mat in your setup as well, you will need to place it on the side of the tank. This will ensure that the heat is still added and distributed where it needs to be in the tank, but without harming the plants.
You should also make sure that you really need to use a heat mat for your crested gecko before buying one.
Why You Should Know Your Plants’ Maximum Temperature And Humidity Tolerance
When you’re choosing plants for your crested gecko’s tank, you need to know whether or not your plant likes cooler or warmer temperatures and what its humidity requirements are as this is how you’ll know where in the tank to plant them.
For example, you will need to plant ferns on the cool side of the tank where they can stay moist for longer. You can also plant the larger plants at the back of the tank with smaller or low-growing plants in the middle and front of the tank.
Plants that are more succulent-like can then be planted on the warmer side of the tank or close to the basking spot. You can also use the basking spot for plants that require direct light.
You also have to keep in mind that the plants you use in your crested gecko’s tank are used to high humidity (just like your crestie).
However, with the use of real plants in a crested gecko’s tank, the humidity can fluctuate more than with fake plants. You, therefore, need to keep a close eye on your hygrometer – especially just after watering the plants.
Tip! If you use real plants in your crested gecko’s tank, make sure that you get a good quality hygrometer that will give you ongoing accurate measurements.
Plants’ Maximum Temperatures, Recommended Placement, and Watering Schedule

|Zebra Plant||75°F | 24°C||60 – 70%||Plant to the front of the cool side as it shouldn’t be in the shade.||Mist to keep soil moist.|
What To Do If The Humidity In Your Crested Gecko Tank Gets Too High
If you find that the humidity in your crested gecko’s tank gets too high, the first thing to do is not to panic.
If you’ve just misted the tank and closed it again, the humidity will be very high (in the region of 80% or so) for a while. This is normal and you just need to keep an eye on the hygrometer to ensure that the humidity range goes back to normal within a few hours.
However, if it’s not a matter of having just misted the tank, or the humidity doesn’t go down, the easiest and fastest way to lower the humidity is to open the tank for a bit.
You don’t have to keep it open long or even open it completely. Just letting some of the drier air in the room into the tank will ensure that you drop the humidity inside the tank. Just be careful not to let the humidity get too low!
Tip! If you find that the humidity of the tank stays high, you may be misting the tank too often. Cut back on the amount of water you’re using and keep checking the hygrometer to see if the humidity stabilises at the correct level.
How To Choose A Healthy Plant For Your Crested Gecko’s Tank
Choosing the best plants for your crested gecko’s tank is also about choosing the healthiest plants as these will not only look good, but will also be more likely to survive if you don’t have a very green thumb. When you look for plants to buy, keep the following in mind:
- The leaves should be a healthy color – whether that is green or another color
- The stems should be healthy and not soft or black as this is a sign of disease or over-watering
- The root system should be well-developed when you remove it from its original pot to replant it for the tank.
Is A Crested Gecko Plant Kit Any Good?
Whether a crested gecko plant kit is good or not usually depends on the supplier as some suppliers may not have very healthy plants. If you can’t look at the plants yourself before choosing which ones to buy, you need to make sure that you only buy from a reputable supplier.
Also, make sure that you get a good variety of plants that will not only look good but – even more important – fit in your crested gecko’s tank once they start growing.
You would also want plants that are both fast and slow-growing in order to make it easier for you to keep everything trimmed and not have them take over the whole tank.
Many of the gecko plant kits suppliers choose the plants for you, so while you have an idea of what you’ll get, the plants may be more of a “luck of the draw” regarding type and even health.
You also won’t be able to choose the size of the plants, making it difficult to know exactly where to plant them.
If you are a beginner, however, choosing to take a crested gecko plant kit from a trusted supplier may be a very good idea as it will simply make it easier to set up the tank.
How To Water The Plants In Your Crested Gecko’s Tank
To water the plants in your crested gecko’s tank, simply fill a clean spray bottle or mister with either distilled water or tap water that has stood for at least 24 hours.
This will give the chemicals in the water time to evaporate. Then, taking care not to use too much water, spritz some or all of the plants in the tank.
Some plants may need to be watered more thoroughly once per month. To do this, water the plants when you clean the whole tank once per month.
While you’re cleaning the tank the water can then drain from the soil in the plants’ pots. You can then start misting the plants again when the soil starts to dry out.
Giving your crested gecko a more realistic natural tank setup can be very good for their overall health, as it will give them ample stimulation and exercise when they climb around on the branches and plants.
Keeping the plants that you’ve added to the tank in check will also give you more time to spend with your crested gecko – so enjoy it!

A Texas man who spent his career painting buildings was awarded $11 million after he claimed to have developed mesothelioma from asbestos-containing painting products. Vernon Walker, 67, of Dallas spent years working daily with contaminated products such as texturing paints, block fillers and drywall compounds, some of which were banned by the Consumer Products Safety Commission in the 1970’s because of their asbestos. Forty percent of the $11 settlement is to come from asbestos mining company Union Carbide and the rest from various paint product manufacturers.
Union Carbide took another recent hit in court from a former employee, who won his $3 million suit against the company and two others he blamed for his mesothelioma. Oscar Torres’ suit alleged that workers at the plant were not properly protected against asbestos exposure and were not warned of its potentially lethal consequences. Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma.
A paper mill worker in South Carolina has won a $10.2 million lawsuit against Scapa Dryer Fabric, Inc. and AstenJohnson. Henry Barabin claims the companies used high amounts of asbestos in their products, and used poorly designed equipment that put laborers like him at risk for inhaling the toxic dust when they handled or cleaned up around the dryer fabrics. Barabin worked at the mill from 1968 to 1984. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2006.
Meanwhile, a Houston couple is hoping to prove that 49 companies were negligent in protecting refinery worker Corbett Duhon against the dangers of asbestos. The suit names such industrial giants as Viacom, Ford Motor Company and AMF Incorporated, and claims that Duhon was exposed to a wide range of asbestos products while working in various shipyards, mills and refineries for more than 20 years. Duhon developed mesothelioma in December of 2009.
The Virginia Senate has defeated a proposal that would have protected a company there against mesothelioma and asbestos lawsuits. According to the Washington Post, Crown Cork & Seal has been named in more than 300,000 asbestos claims and has paid out more than $600 million. The company employs more than 300 people in Virginia and has said that it will have to close its door if the bill didn’t past. Despite intense and expensive lobbying efforts, the bill failed by a vote of 13 to 2.
And in Kansas, it is not what is happening in the courtrooms, but the courtrooms themselves that are the source of asbestos controversy. The Kansas City Star reports that a series of lawsuits filed recently claim that workers and visitors to a downtown courthouse have been exposed to asbestos for years, due to faulty ventilation. The suits claim that asbestos dust in the old courthouse collects around the heating and air-conditioning systems, putting anyone nearby as risk for inhalation. Renovation, demolition and maintenance projects have been going on in the building for more than 30 years.

I have printed one other piece by Moore on this blog. I tend to ignore critique except to contextualise the social and historical life of the poet, those movements that brought the writer to settle into her voice. There is a resonance in Moore’s poetry that is hooking, despite the best efforts of Ted Hughes to underrate her contribution, or whatever it was that provoked the nasty little Moore Poem in Birthday Letters
I am adding in this little excerpt along with the title of the book in the hope that more readers will come to look at women writers:
There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.
I inwardly did nothing.
When I read Birthday Letters, long before I had read anything by Moore, I must confess that the imagery that Hughes used to talk of the woman put me right off wanting to read her. The issue emanated from a particular episode in which he accused her of putting shards of glass into an acerbic note she sent Plath, or the image of her in her hat looking for the grave on which to lay her little wreath. It irritates me beyond belief that Hughes exploited his power in such a wholly provocative manner, and that be celebrated by other poets including Seamus Heaney. For what Hughes did in Birthday Letters was to make himself unanswerable, neither Moore nor Plath can respond to his work. It must have been great that the mostly male critical and academic establishment refused to note this in their reviews. It did not occur to Heaney, for instance to note that Hughes took an opportunity to settle old scores/scars.
For me, a writer of prose and a poet, the issue has always been about engagement with themes and symbols that evolve over time, but that somehow retain their shape and essence no matter what. I am still trying to understand how a voice as strong as Hughes is capable of honing those particular traumas so artfully decades indeed after the episode. Thats Poetic Engagement and can give reviewers the equivalent of the bends; and yet effect another writer’s historical place in our consciousness by sleight of hand (or with deliberate intention).

It was great being back at St.Joseph’s this week! We worked with three students I had never met before and one student who was at the last session I attended. When we walked in, one of the students (Rufus) was playing the piano. He was very talented and told us what his favorite songs to play are. It was clear that he was excited that we were interested and that he was proud of his skills. Lexi, Matt, and I commented that it would be great if he could play the piano either at some point during the performance or as the audience entered the venue.
All four students had also worked with the Monday group (ACT IV) so they were familiar with the plot and the characters. This was very helpful because we were able to jump right into physically acting out ACT III. Matt and I worked with Cristina and Rufus on the Viola and Olivia exchange in Scene I, while Lexi worked with Dale and Charles on Scene II. It was nice to have such a small group and be able to split up like this because we were able to give the students very personal attention. Cristina and Dale struggled a bit with reading through the lines, so as we went through I circled all the words they had a hard time with. In class yesterday, Lexi and I went through the script and attempted to change some of the words that they were struggling with to make it more approachable.
The only issue we really ran into was Cristina calling Dale – who had the most trouble with the script – slow and stupid. Dale didn’t take her comments personally and was able to keep his sense of humor – even saying “excuse me” after every time he mentioned his character (Sir Toby Belch). This provided us all with quite a bit of entertainment, and hopefully we can utilize Dales sense of humor when assigning him a role in the final production.
Overall, it was a productive hour, and I think we all learned a lot about what our roles are going to be in the final production. Some of the students will not need our help at all but others may need more guidance and direction during the performance. It is a little bit difficult working with different kids each week because the work feels inconsistent and progress isn’t very visible, but hopefully we will have a great showing for the final performance. At least we know the students are enthusiastic and willing to roll with the punches!

Where to Play Progressive Video Poker
Progressive video poker games are played in exactly the same way as any other video poker game, with one major difference: all bets feed a percentage into a massive jackpot that’s connected throughout all the video poker games on that software. If you hit a certain hand, then you win the progressive jackpot. It’s very similar to progressive slots, only it’s video poker.
The main difference is that you can calculate what the progressive jackpot has to get up to in order to determine when a game has a positive expectation. If a jackpot bet on a video poker game gets high enough, then instead of a payback percentage of 99.5%, you might get a payback percentage of 100.5% or 101% or even higher.
Different Software, Different Progressive Video Games
There are a number of different online softwares that power online casinos. Each one has a different version of a progressive video poker, or multiple versions. You’ll be able to find some of the major softwares and the progressive video poker games available on the following pages. We’ll also include some information about payback percentages for the video poker games, usually how high the jackpot must be in order to make the game a positive expectation bet.
- Realtime Gaming
- Net Entertainment
- Random Logic
We’ve tried to list these in order of popularity, although we’re only basing the popularity of these casinos on our own knowledge, not anything official. Eventually each of the above softwares will have a link to its own page, which will include information about their progressive video poker versions.
Video poker is a rather popular casino game that looks similar to a modern slot machine and is played an a computer monitor. When the game first came out, the machines were not all that popular but, eventually, they became a staple in gaming centers all over the world.
The very first video poker machine was created and developed in the early seventies around the same time that personal computers emerged. Starting in the early eighties, casinos around the country began putting the games out on their floors where they became increasingly popular among customers were too intimidated by the tables of real poker games.
In many ways the poker machines work the same way that electronic slot machines do. Players insert money or a preloaded gaming card into it, they receive a randomized hand and use the buttons on the screen to begin placing their bets, which are usually set at increments of one or five dollar amounts. The machine, after the draw, then pays out if the hand that the player had was one that consisted of a winning combination such as a pair, straight, flush, or etc.
The amount of money that players can win each hand depend on how rare of a hand they end up with. Most hand combinations are exactly the same as they are in regular table poker and the odds of getting one are roughly similar as well. In most high end casinos, the video poker devices also offer some sort of progressive jackpot, in which a player is encouraged to continue playing the same machine and feeding in more money with the hopes of winning one of the unique bonuses.
Since poker is more of a game of skill, rather than purely a game of chance like so many other casino activities, experienced and knowledgeable gamblers can eventually learn helpful tricks and skills which can help them win. Since the cards are dealt randomly from a computer generated deck of fifty two, the possible outcomes and combinations can sometimes be calculated to an extent. Good poker players will learn and develop helpful strategies to end up with an optimal hand.
Strip poker isn’t a game that you really need rules for — if you lose a hand, you have to start removing some clothing. It’s a fun, flirty way to make poker a little interesting. But if you’re far, far away from any wild, flirty friends, it might be hard to really get into the game. Of course, the power of the Internet is such that just about any type of “game” you want to play can be found online. While strip poker online isn’t about winning real money, we figured that it might be a fun change of pace to think of cool stuff you can do this holiday season. If you’re feeling burned out by fast paced poker, this light hearted version might be right up your alley.
As mentioned before, this is not for real money — just fun. You want to connect to a poker room that lets you use your webcam in order to participate. Yes, that means that youíre going to have to join in. It’s not just about the game — it’s about meeting new people.
In todayís society, we’re always on the go — to the point where it can be really hard to socialize the way we used to. It seems like once you get out of school, things really start to change. Things take on their own meaning and relevance.
There are a few places to check out strip poker online, and the list is growing every day. Is this something that you really want to do all of the time? Probably not. But it’s a great way to mix things up.
Now then, this is still poker, and you want to make sure that youíre using solid poker theory to win. If you get to play with a bunch of really attractive people, well — the rest is up to you, isn’t it? This isn’t for everyone, but if youíre looking for a little “edge” to your poker play, you can’t go wrong with checking out strip poker online.
As poker fever continues to creep into the minds of people all across the world, many of you have asked us to shed some light on a number of different versions of the game. After all, Texas Hold’em is only one of hundreds of variants of the game. In this segment we will take a closer look one of these variations, Pai Gow Poker, and try to answer, among other things, questions such as: what’s behind the funny-sounding name and how do you play this funky-looking variety of poker? So here goes – we hope you find it useful.
What is Pai Gow Poker?
This version of online poker has its original roots in the ancient Chinese game called Pai Gow, which means “make nine” in that language. It has merged with the basic form of poker to become a very popular and relatively new gambling game. It only entered Vegas casinos in 1987, but was an instant success due to its established popularity in California and surrounding areas with a large Asian population. The game debuted in Atlantic City casinos the following year, and was greeted with even more fanfare. Although Pai Gow poker hasn’t gained the notoriety of its famous cousin, Texas Hold’em, the game continues to grow in popularity.
The current game is descended from the aforementioned ancient Chinese game, but the two versions bear little resemblance to one another. The original Pai Gow is a cryptic and symbolic game, very difficult to learn, and was originally played with dominos. Pai Gow Poker on the other hand is quite straightforward and based on standard poker hands, with very simple rules to follow.
How to Play
In Pai Gow Poker, a 53-card deck is used. The additional card, typically a joker, is a designated wild card. The wild card may be used to complete straights and flushes, but otherwise it seen as an Ace. Pai Gow Poker is played on a blackjack table, and up to six players can play at a time. Similar to Blackjack, the players compete against the dealer.
At the start of each hand you are dealt seven cards, which you must form into two hands – one with five cards and the other with two. The object is to win money by beating both the dealer’s high (5-card) hand and low (2-card) hand. If the player loses both hands, the dealer collects the player’s wager, and if the hand’s are split then the round is considered a push and no money is exchanged. The only other situation which may arise is when the player and the dealer have identical hands (either high or low). In this case the tie goes to the dealer, and it’s called a “copy”.
When a player wins a hand, there is usually a 5% commission subtracted from his winnings. This means that if a player wagers $10, his return on a winning hand will be $19.50. The dealer’s rake ensures that over time he will have an edge, albeit a small one.
Several online gaming sites offer the chance to play Pai Gow for both practice and for real money.
When playing the casino game of video poker players need to be careful when thinking they have the best hand. Be careful and wait for all the cards to be been given out. You may have been dealt two pocket kings, but do not realize that the person next to you was just dealt two pocket aces. It has been said that this is not a common occurrence in regular poker but I have seen it many times in online poker.
Another good strategy for online poker is to only go in a hand when you have something good. Many online players decide to just go in just to see if they get lucky. Going in when you do not have the cards is never a good idea. When playing poker you should only go in when you have good cards.
When playing online its easy to get distracted. Make sure you have scheduled quiet time for your game. Put the kids to bed, turn off the TV and do not surf the Internet while playing. These things can make you lose hands because you are not paying attention to what is happening. All online games will have a sit out option. You should use the sit out option as often as you need until the distractions have passed and you can concentrate.
Remember do not go all in every time someone at your table does. People go all in for all kinds of reasons, know yours! Going in because someone keeps taking the ante is not a reason. Putting all your money in means you cannot back out, you must be sure and poker is not a sure bet. At best its a 50/50 shot.
Do not bluff people in online Poker. Bluffing is very risky and will very often backfire. Putting in a lot of money just to make someone go out is not a good decision because you never know who is sitting there with pocket aces.
Try to know your opponent. You may not be able to see the other players but you can get an idea of how they bet. If you are watching other players and they fold every hand and than one hand they bet a lot, they probably have something. If you have been paying attention you will notice their bet and fold.
Another strategy is to pay attention to not only your cards but pay attention to the cards on the table. If you have two pair and there are four spades on the table, think, can someone else sitting at this table have that fifth spade? Look at all the cards on the table and think about what others could have versus the cards you are holding.
Lastly, and I cannot stress this enough. When sitting home at the computer playing video poker, do not drink! This is a very way strategy while other may not have all their senses you will. It is easy to get comfortable and grab a beer or glass of wine, but remember you are playing to win. Drinking will cloud you judgment. You will always play better sober.

Love the software, but my year is about to run out and I need to find out if I am incorrect or there is an error in current software - my spouse turned 66 on April 10 of 2016. As directed by the software, she filed and suspended (well before April 29). I will turn 66 in January of 2017. It was my understanding that at that time I could apply for spousal benefit without my spouse having to reinstating her benefit. I thought that was the loophole that only changed changed after April 29. I'd appreciate your answer.
Yes, if this is what the software recommended in your case, it sounds like you've done everything correctly so far. Since your wife filed and suspended prior to the April 29 2016 deadline, you can file a restricted application for spousal benefits only effective with the month you reach age 66, and you will be able to draw your spousal benefits while her benefits are suspended. For confirmation, see FAQ #4 of the following reference from Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/suspendfaq.html.

The BBC, Fox News and others are deploying Immarsat BGAN mobile broadband satellite services via Stratos for uninterrupted coverage of news events as the political situation in Egypt twists and turns.
Broadcasters began filing reports of the crisis from Cairo and other Egyptian cities on January 25th. Days later, the Egyptian government shut down all terrestrial internet connectivity and mobile phone service. BGAN enabled these broadcasters to continue newsgathering in Egypt and transmitting live reports to their studios, without interruption.
BGAN from Stratos streaming services are being used by the BBC, Fox News and others for live video streaming from the protest sites. The broadcasters also are using BGAN for Internet connectivity, store-and-forward video clips, and audio streaming for radio broadcast.
All BGAN traffic from these organizations is routed via the Stratos global IP network, known as StratosNexus, into the broadcasters’ studios worldwide.
As it did for last year’s Haitian disaster, Stratos is continually monitoring its BGAN network and StratosNexus during this period of heightened usage in Egypt – and is providing frequent status reports to its media customers. Inmarsat also is taking measures to ensure the usual high level of availability and reliability of its Inmarsat-4 satellite network during this crisis.
Stratos President and CEO Jim Parm said: “Major news events like these, under seemingly impossible conditions, remind the world’s top broadcasters of the indispensable nature of BGAN and the reliability of the Stratos network. The Stratos team remains available around the clock, to help our customers ensure optimal performance and efficiency from any imaginable location.”

Jude, Zeta where have you been? We've been looking all over and here we find you at the psychiatrist's office raising awareness about mental health within the community. Well, I personally want to say that "We love it".
"Side Effects" is an intriguing film providing a little insight into the world of depression, along with a dash of embellishment clearly for the purposes of making it into a motion picture. Anyone experiencing a mental illness or even treating a mental illness will testify that one's mental health is no laughing matter, by any means. "Side Effects" is a must-see film for the simple fact that it deals with real topics and issues that most have experienced either first hand or indirectly through someone we know. So let's pop open the Xanax and see what this movie is about.
Jude Law stars as Dr. Johnathan Banks, a psychiatrist confident in his practice, until he encounters a seemingly harmless client named Emily(Rooney Mara). Emily comes to his attention in a depressed state via recent suicide attempt that lands her in the emergency room. Banks being a doctor overworked and maybe even ready to go home allows Emily to leave with only a script and her word that she would meet with him for outpatient treatment. Now, anyone knowing 2 cents about mental health would know that you don't get to go home after attempting to take your own life in the same night. Anywho, he releases her to her husband, Martin(Tatum) that reassures Banks that his wife will take her medications and attend scheduled appointments.
Sounds like an open and shut film huh? Well, it's not. Emily attends the appointments and goes through the normal dialogue of her childhood troubles and sources of stress while experimenting with medications to find something without too many "side-effects". Everything seems to be going along according to plan, until Emily wants to try this new wonder drug called "Ablixa". Ablixa is to be the drug of the century, the cure all, but no drug is without side-effects and this one has some that aren't so easy to eliminate.
You ever hear of Ambien and all the sleepwalking that it has caused? Well, multiple the intensity of it's side-effects by 100 and you have your new cure for depression. Emily begins to take this new pill and this is where the movie starts! "Side Effects" puts Banks face to face with either one of the most clever people to walk the planet or the sickest client in mental health cinema history. This movie is guaranteed to have psychiatrists thinking twice before pulling out their blue pads and prescribing the next "It" drug on the market. The obvious question is "Who would prescribe a new drug without doing the proper research"? Any idea, Banks?
Catherine Zeta Jones give an eye opening performance in the film as Dr. Seibert, a mature female psychiatrist that becomes interested in the work of Banks and Emily. One has to wonder why she has taken such an interest in the work of Banks, hmm? It's always nice to see Zeta take on a role as she gives it 110 percent every time. I first started following her films after watching her performance in "Traffic", great film by the way if you haven't seen it. I've got to say, her role as Seibert definitely adds some "essence" to the film and I'll leave it at that.
Now for the true star of the film, Rooney Mara, she takes on the role of Emily Taylor, a depressed and very suicidal young woman that flips Bank's world upside down. The way in which Mara portrays the character shows that Soderbergh put a lot of effort into researching depression and communicating his needs for the film. I personally have worked in mental health for the past 12yrs and I would say that she gives a convincing performance, but that's just my personal opinion. Mara is going to be someone to look for in future films, but if this is your first introduction to her, it's definitely a treat.
To wrap things up, "Side Effects" is a movie about mental illness, but it does not reflect the issues and concerns of everyone experiencing depression. "We don't want anyone making assumptions about themselves or anyone else that they know diagnosed with an mental illness".
Unhinged Reviews recommends this film for those curious about the mind and how serious it is for both clients and doctors to do the research on medications before starting treatment. Unhinged Reviews also recommends this film for those in search of a good drama with an unexpected plot twist or two. Enjoy.

That’s the catch-22, isn’t it? You’re taking the mushrooms to try Pi Day Live Everyday Like It’s Pi Day Distressed Shirt treat your depression, but being depressed and in a dark place is not a good base mindset for a mushroom trip. This is why I believe psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is the way to go. Having a guide to help with prep and post-integration is key to actually learning and progressing from the Pi Day Live Everyday Like It’s Pi Day Distressed Shirt. Worst case even help the patient administer trip-killers if needed. Some experienced individuals can do that alone with the set, mindset, intent, etc… but even still can they, especially beginners during a dark period, venture into an uncomfortable space. Not that’s it’s necessarily a bad thing but at larger doses, it certainly can be dangerous. I found that planning for a good day (nice weather, having a babysitter with a hike/park/something fun but not socially planned) made the vibes stay good throughout. I only took a tab of acid once, but it legitimately cured my lifelong persistent depression. I still feel depressed every once in a blue moon, but I haven’t even been close to the edge that I was on before. Same for me. The best experiences I’ve had usually, but not always, had some level of negative emotions which give way to intense positivity.
Pi Day Live Everyday Like It’s Pi Day Distressed Shirt, Tank Top, V-neck, Sweatshirt And Hoodie
I agree with this – then I hear about terminal cancer Pi Day Live Everyday Like It’s Pi Day Distressed Shirt or people dealing with immense grief having profound healing experiences on mushrooms. They must be in a worse mental space than people with depression? I’ve found my trips which have more negative emotions to be generally more cathartic. Sorta forcing me to come face to face with things I had been struggling with without acknowledging them. While the trips themselves weren’t the most pleasant experiences, the aftereffects were very Pi Day 3.14 Cutie PI Q T Pi Funny Pie Math Geek Shirt. Maybe it’s something like that for some of those folks. I have to imagine that those trips aren’t light or filled with giddy laughter, but rather the grand scale of our existence, and the notion that everything will be okay, no matter the outcome. There’s a middle ground between microdose and full dose! Try that! Some of my best times weren’t ego-death level doses… but I still felt it. Once you know your dose it’s possible to get buzzed on it without going full trip mode, that buzz is all I need for it to work for me hard to explain it’s like I’m high off of weed and have minimal tracers

Being elected as the President of Pakistan Biological Safety Association (PBSA) is a true honour for me. I believe that promoting awareness, knowledge and understanding of biosafety at the regional and national level is responsibility of each member and trainer of the PBSA. This organization is commended in many of the national and international forums for its preventive training for Risk Assessment and management, that was much needed at the time of COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, it has promoted strong collaborations and affiliations with various Biosafety developmental programs that align with international standards to acknowledge and recognize biosafety as a separate scientific discipline within Pakistan. I strongly agree that “no one is safe until everyone is safe”, and would like to work with the PBSA team to implement this approach as far and wide as possible.

The Oscar nominations are here, and while many expected La La Land to do well, few expected it to tie for the record of most noms ever. It now matches All About Eve and the all-conquering Titanic with 14 nominations. As expected La La Land’s nomination haul included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Ryan Gosling and Best Actress for Emma Stone, as well as a raft of nods in everything from Best Original Song to Best Cinematography.
It was the only movie that did exceedingly well, with Arrival and Moonlight both scoring eight. It’s a particularly impressive achievement for the gay-themed, African American drama Moonlight, which many thought that despite being deserving, might struggle to get noticed in amongst the studio titles with much larger marketing budgets. It’s haul includes both Best Picture and Best Director nominations, and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.
Hacksaw Ridge, Lion and Manchester by the Sea followed them with six nominations apiece, and Fences and Hell or High Water with four each. It ensures that while La La Land has cemented its position as the frontrunner, there’s still plenty of space for others to win.
There were some surprises though, as while Arrival may have gotten eight nominations, Amy Adams – who many thought was a shoo-in – wasn’t among them. It’s also a bit odd that Suicide Squad (Best Make-up and Hairstyling) and Doctor Strange (Best Visual Effects) scored nominations, the best received superhero movie, Deadpool, got nothing.
Take a look at the full list of nominations below: [Read more…]

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!
For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.
I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.
Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped

As @10xAI said, a tree-based gradient boosted approach may miss the mark for time series because it cannot forecast a growing trend. However, we can apply gradient boosting methodology to any algorithm. You can mess around with some code I wrote that is based on gradient boosting and decomposition: LazyProphet. The code is badly written and I think the example data pulls break now but the method itself tends to produce some decent results.
Essentially if we do boosting with some piecewise approach we can get new changepoints at each boosting round and update our seasonality + exogenous measures. I use binary segmentation so it ends up being very similar to a wild binary segmentation approach for change points. Round 0 the 'trend' is just the mean/median, then you measure seasonality and set your 'y' to the original time series - (trend + seasonality). Round 1 then finds the optimal point which splits the data into 2 and fits a trend estimator (could be the mean kind of like a tree output) then measures seasonality and adds these measures to what was found in round 0 to find the new residuals to fit for the next round and so on. Hopefully this image makes it clearer:
I do have a much better written and more generalized approach coming soon!

Trial TO REVIEW Smoking-cessation Therapy Tailored To A Smoker’s DNA
The research team is recruiting 720 smokers from the St. Louis area who wish to break the addiction. Study individuals shall be interviewed about their smoking behaviors and general health. They’ll provide DNA samples also, from saliva, that’ll be analyzed to identify genetic variations that influence smoking behavior, lung cancer risk, and the potency of smoking-cessation treatments. Li-Shiun Chen, MD, an associate teacher of psychiatry. Ultimately, the research workers want to learn how a smoker’s genetic makeup affects how much one smokes and how he or she will respond to drugs designed to help smokers stop.
The team’s previous research signifies that DNA variants can influence the effectiveness of various smoking-cessation medications. To meet the requirements, volunteers must be at least 21 and smoke cigarettes five or even more cigarettes daily. They need to smoke traditional smoking, not e-cigarettes. Study participants will be placed randomly in one of three groups.
Smokers in a single group will receive seven weeks of guidance to help them stop, as well as nicotine-replacement areas and lozenges, varenicline (Chantix) or an inactive placebo. All individuals shall obtain counseling to help them stop smoking. Laura Jean Bierut, MD, the Alumni Endowed Professor of Psychiatry. Those that be a part of the one-year research will be asked to take part in telephone interviews, counseling periods and follow-up phone calls. All office visits, guidance classes, and medications will be providing cost-free. Those that volunteer for the analysis can learn about their genetic roots also. The researchers will send DNA samples from study volunteers to a private company that performs genetic testing, which can trace the origins of participants’ early ancestors.

It is super easy to use, resilient, no flaking and no coming off until I clean them off with a makeup remover. The wand brush is not too big or too small just the perfect size for my eyebrows so I do not need to worry about going out of the lines.
It created a lift, I brushed the gel upward and to the side so it actually made my eyebrows look more arched. I believe this definitely gives that perfect finishing touch to my face after I’m finished with all my makeup. I can’t see myself without this in my makeup collection, especially in times when my eyebrows look crazy.
It will come in a beautiful silver/metallic pot and like all the LASHEM products it looks very luxurious. One lucky champion will get a Brow Tint & Lift with Lash Enhancing Serum in the color of their choice. What LASHEM product are you more interested in trying out? I received these products for a review purpose. Nor was I under any obligation to create an optimistic review. I give all my opinions and thoughts sincerely.
It has many good reviews and responses saying it is absolutely effective. It is paraben-free so that it is safer in comparison to other neck creams. It includes a money-back guarantee. What exactly are the Disadvantages of Strivectin Neck Cream? There isn’t much information on the product’s substances and exactly how they work.
Some people who have tried it say it is not effective. It can cause skin discomfort since it includes a wide range of ingredients that many people may be sensitive to. Strivectin Neck Cream is an excellent product that is around for years. However, there is absolutely no medical evidence demonstrating it works really. Some people also experienced skin irritation from using the merchandise.
The product my work out. It does have a lot of well-known and reliable elements which are said to bring a lot of the benefits that are promised. However, we do recommend talking with a professional in advance. That is heading to ensure that everything is managed and that you receive the best solution properly. Take into account that there are a lot of other products on the marketplace that might be able to help you out in a rather conventional manner as well. A few of these are Gold Bond Ultimate Chest And Neck Firming Cream, and Estee Lauder Resilience Lift.
It also had taken quite a while to dry. It had been also quite sticky when “dry” and just like the original version, there was no way in hell it was going to work as a makeup base. But my skin seemed to like it far more. It could be worn by me on my face for approximately 8 hours, and while I possibly could feel it was there, there is no desperate screaming for oxygen, or clawing within my face.

The plot of Lorenzaccio is set in Florence and Venice around 1537. The Florentine nobleman Lorenzo de Medici, a highly educated youth who admires the heroes of Greek and Roman antiquity, dreams of the restoration of the Republic in Florence, abolished by his cousin Alessandro de Medici.
When: 22nd September, 2019
Where: Curium Ancient Theater, Episkopi, Limassol
Cost: €12 / €6
Lorenzaccio is a French play written by Alfred de Musset in 1834 (1810-1857), when he was only 23 years old. Based on true historical events as described in Storia Fiorentina, a chronicle of the Renaissance written in the 16th century by Benedetto Varchi.
The play was performed for the first time in Greece in 1965 at the National Theatre, directed by Jean Tasso, starring Dimitris Horn in the role of Lorenzo. The current production is dedicated to his memory.
This production is performed for the first time in Cyprus, in translation, adaptation and direction of Yannis Iordanidis.

SO, trump won’t recognize a legitimate election result that doesn’t please him. I would expect that from an illegitimate “President” who got where he was via the Electoral College, massive amounts of corporate campaign spending, and Russian interference in our election systems. All this, and the “patriotic” republicans are okay with this.
Well, if trump tries to interfere with our democratic rights, let’s STAND UP to him. He’s a bully, and bullies wilt in the face of strong opposition. Game ON, donnie dumbass!

Whether you’re set on nailing David Gilmour’s huge lead tones or just want something that will make your listeners jump in their seats, you got to love the Big Muff. In this feature you’ll learn how to choose the right Big Muff model for your setup and how to achieve those killer tones.
The Big Muff is a moody beast. Nothing sounds quite like it and it’s certainly not for everyone or every musical style. It’s actually quite limited in its use and having a Big Muff paired with the “wrong” guitar and amp can sound pretty horrible. Still, the pedal has put its familiar stamp on countless recordings, including perhaps the greatest solo of all time, – Comfortably Numb.
The Big Muff was designed by Mike Matthews, who in the late 60s formed Electro Harmonix and went on to produce some of the most iconic pedals in the business. The initial goal was to create a sustain pedal, which would sound different from contemporary fuzz circuits. The Big Muff has gone through many changes since then, with the so-called “triangle” and “ram’s head” models as the most recognisable.
After closing doors in the mid 80s, Matthews moved to Russia and founded Sovtek, which produced tubes and a new version of the Big Muff housed in huge tank-like boxes. Today, Electro Harmonix, with Matthews in charge, is as successful as ever and the Big Muff is surely one of the most popular pedals of all time. See the Big Muff Pi Page for a complete history on the Big Muff.
Back in the digital era of the 1980s, the old Big Muff pedals were considered very uncool and was either thrown away or stashed away in an attic somewhere. When the grunge bands appeared in the early 90s, the Big Muff was back in favour and since then they’ve pretty much been some of the hottest items on the vintage market. Especially those pre 1980 models but the prices on the Sovtek models are also rising fast.
Common for the pedals Electro Harmonix produced in the 1970s was they were often inconsistent with their designs. New models would sometimes feature old parts and there were a lot of so-called transition models. They also used parts of varying quality, which often meant that the pedals often sounded different and couldn’t handle much abuse. Add 40 years of ageing in different climates and you have a very fragile circuit.
In most cases you never know what you get when buying a vintage Big Muff and you may end up being very disappointed and broke. Unless you’re very sure of what you’re doing, my best tip is to stay away from EBay and the whole vintage hype.
Few pedals has been as much cloned as the Big Muff. Literally every brand has at least one clone in their portfolio. Some try to nail the classic design, while others are offering something new, with varying success. While owning an original early 70s Big Muff might be a dream come true I would say that it’s a much better investment tonewise to go for a clone. The size is smaller. The construction and parts much better. The noise is much lower. And the pedal is considerably more reliable. If you can’t find the exact specs you’re looking for you can even ask nicely and most builders will accommodate your needs.
The current reissues from Electro Harmonix has little in common with the original models. It’s understandable, as Electro Harmonix has always been about evolving and coming up with new designs. They have a wast line of different models that may not be ideal for replicating David Gilmour’s tones but then again, the Big Muff appeals to many different guitarists.
It may be hard to tell the difference between a fuzz and Muff especially in terms of David’s tones because his fuzz tones on Live at Pompeii and Dark Side of the Moon are almost as smooth and sustained as a Muff. The difference, apart from the circuit, is that Big Muffs generally has a more saturated tone, more sustain and a tad more compression.
Although most Muff models will cover David’s Pompeii and Dark Side tones, the triangle and ram’s head are closer to the silicon transistor fuzz, with much of the same edgy and raw fuzz tones. However a Muff is far too aggressive and saturated for the 1968-70 tones so for authenticity you might want to consider a germanium fuzz or simply an overdrive.
There are no rules on how you should operate or use a Big Muff. Obviously, it depends on what tones you want. It terms of David Gilmour’s tones, to achieve those silky smooth sustained notes, you need volume and lots of it. The secret to David’s huge tones are his loud Hiwatt amps. They can play incredibly loud, while maintaining a rich headroom. The hot tubes creates compression and the speakers gets pushed hard, which makes a Big Muff sound smooth and dynamic.
It can be hard to achieve the same smoothness on smaller amps and typical bedroom volume levels and in many cases a Big Muff might not be the pedal you need or should choose. Still, as described in this feature, there are ways to compensate for the lower volume and the physics created by a loud tube amp.
The volume control on the pedal it self also determine what sound you’ll get. Unity gain, meaning no raise or lowering of the volume when the pedal is on, is usually a good starting point and it will often be the truest tone in terms of the circuit design. The more you turn the volume up, the more you’re pushing the amp and the more compressed the tone will get. This can compensate for the lower amp volume on bedroom setups but it will also change the character of the pedal and roll off the harmonics and other characteristics you want to maintain.
Rolling back the pedal’s volume will often reveal more harmonics in the tone and making the Muff sound more like a fuzz. Again, rolling back too much will make the Muff sound thin and you’ll also lose much of the sustain. Personally I prefer the volume just a hair below unity, to get a bit more of those harmonics but still maintain the characteristics of the pedal.
Like most of the vintage pedal circuits, the Big Muff has a so-called “scooped” tone, meaning that there’s very little mid range present but lots of bass and treble. This is the nature of the pedal but it can also result in your guitar drowning behind the bass and cymbals on stage or on a recording. Our ears are focusing on the mid range and the lack of it makes it harder to detect the sound.
Hiwatt amps has a good portion of mid range, which is essential to David’s tones and the smooth character he gets from his Big Muff. Vox, Fenders and similar amps has very little mid range and are therefore not ideal for a Muff. At least not in terms of David’s tones.
You can compensate for any lack of mid range with different pickups, like the EMG DG20s, an EQ pedal boosting the mids or using Big Muff models that either has more mid range in the tone, like the Sovtek models, or a clone with a mids boost.
See the Buyer’s Gear Guide for recommended Big Muff models based on different setups.
Most Big Muffs has a considerable amount of low end so adding too much bass into the setup, can often make the pedal sound both saggy and a bit spiky depending on the amp. Don’t be tempted to crank the bass on your bedroom amp but keep it at a moderate level or even roll it off a bit. This will make your cleans sound smoother and your Big Muff more open and tighter.
Boosting is nothing new. When the first pedals arrived, the treble boosters and fuzz pedals, guitarists used these to get more gain from their amps. EQ pedals can also be used to boost (and cut) certain frequencies like one does in a studio.
Contrary to Hendrix, who cranked his Marshalls and kicked in a fuzz on top of that, David’s amps are always clean and he’s often using a combination of pedals to get his tones. Sometimes three gain pedals at once – compressor, distortion and overdrive.
Here’s a clip showing an early 70’s ram’s head Big Muff being boosted by a Colorsound Powerbooster (9V reissue with master volume). The Powerbooster is place AFTER the Big Muff. As you can hear, the effect is very subtle but that’s the point. The Powerbooster acts as an EQ adding a bit more presence and enhances the sustain and attack or click when picking the string.
Big Muff: Volume set slightly below unity level, tone 40%, gain 60%.
Powerbooster: treble 35%, bass 25%, gain/volume 25%, master volume at unity level.
During the 1973-75 Dark Side of the Moon tour David used a Colorsound Powerbooster for overdrive but for the solo on Time he would add a (silicon) Fuzz Face on top of the already overdriven Powerbooster that were used for the rhythms.
Later, on the 1977 Animals tour, David’s new pedalboard featured both a Powerbooster and Big Muff. It is not documented whether he actually paired the two pedals. The ram’s head Big Muff that he used at the time could very well operate on its own and most of the time it probably did so. However, live recordings from the tour reveal that the combination was often used on Dogs, Pigs and also during the jam section on Shine On You Crazy Diamond 6-9.
For the 1994 Division Bell tour, he would often combine a Sovtek Big Muff and a Tube Driver for the solos.
David rarely boost the gain and volume but rather uses the overdrive/booster pedal much like an EQ, enhancing certain frequencies and adding character to the tone. It also rolls off any harsh overtones from the Muff, enhances the sustain and also adds a bit of compression and mid range.
There are very few details from any of the Pink Floyd and solo recording sessions but it’s almost certain that the Muff would be used alone, without a booster. Too much gain would only cause noise and feedback and in a controlled environment, like a studio, you can crank the amps and set the gain on the Muff higher for the desired tones. Studio compression and heavy use of delays would also make the tone sound bigger.
As a rule (or guideline) I would say that the early Muffs, the ram’s head and triangle, could do with a bit of boosting to open up the tone and even compress it, making it sound tighter. The Sovtek Muffs and similar clones does not need boosting unless you’re aiming at a specific effect or tone.
I also strongly recommend using a transparent booster with as much headroom as possible, like a clean booster, the Boss BD2, TC Electronic Spark Booster, Powerbooster etc. Pedals with lots of gain and mid range, like the TS808, OCD and similar, will make the Muff sound dark and muddy. I also recommend placing the booster after the Muff. This way the Muff will dominate the signal and the booster act like an EQ.
I know there is a bit of debate on this – what booster to use and where to place it but the fact is that David has his boosters after the fuzz and Muff. It makes sense, since the booster acts like an EQ and not a dominating effect. Whether or not this works for your setup is a different matter and also down to taste. Experiment and decide what sounds best for you.
Above anything it’s important that you find yourself a Big Muff that suits your guitar and amp and your playing environment. It doesn’t matter what I recommend or what David Gilmour is using if it doesn’t sound good on your setup.
Amps with little mid range, would require a Big Muff with boosted mid range, like a Sovtek or similar clones. An amp with a pronounced mid range, is better suited for the majority of the Big Muff models. If you’re using humbuckers or an amp with little headroom, then you might want to consider a more versatile distortion like the RAT, Boss DS1 or similar clones.
Distortion or fuzz isn’t just noise but the tone has a distinct character and rich harmonics. Perhaps much more so than a modern distortion. Allow your Big Muff to shine through and don’t overdo any settings or pedal combinations. Spend some time using only the Big Muff and familiarise with its character and nuances before you add any booster, EQ or compressor.
It’s easy to think that the sustain, the crisp attack and the throaty voice of David’s Big Muffs comes from a huge setup but it’s really just the guitar, pedal and the amp in most of the cases.
Always start by plugging the guitar straight into your amp when you’re setting up a new tone. Adjust your ears to the tone and experiment with the settings until you have the right basis for your pedals.
David Gilmour’s 2006 Hiwatt setup
Linked inputs (guitar plugged into the upper bright, with a short patch cable linking the lower bright and upper normal).
Normal 2:00, brilliance 1:00, bass 11:00, treble 10:00, middle 1:30, presence 3:00, master 9:00.
Most amps have a neutral setting with the controls around noon but you might want to tweak the controls to taste. Keep in mind that the settings on David’s Hiwatts are for his rig and taste. These settings may not apply to amps with a very different character, like a Fender, so always trust your ears rather that trying to duplicate someone else’s setup.
See this feature for tips on setting up your amp in a bedroom.
Animals – The Wall
David’s typical setup for the period covering Animals, his 1978 solo album, The Wall and Final Cut was based on the Black Strat (DiMarzio FS1 bridge pickup 1976-79 and a custom wound Duncan SSL1 bridge pickup 1980-present) and the Pete Cornish 1976 pedal board split into a Hiwatt/WEM rig and Yamaha RA200 rotating speaker cabinets (he used a smaller Cornish board for the recording of The Wall). The Yamahas were mixed lower than the Hiwatts for a mild chorusy tone.
Pink Floyd performing Mother at London’s Earl’s Court in 1980. David’s tone is bright, with an unmistakable Big Muff character cutting through the layers of rotating Yamaha cabinets and the Electric Mistress flanger. The Mistress might be hard to detect on this clip but the liquidy character of the ’76 model is there, blending with the rotary cabs.
Electro Harmonix ram’s head Big Muff
sustain 50-60%, tone 40%, volume 50-60%
The pedal was mostly used as a dedicated overdrive. For boosting set the volume to unity level or slightly higher, keep the bass moderate and adjust the treble and gain as desired. Depending on how hot your pickups are and how much gain your Big Muff has, you probably want the Powerbooster just at the edge of break up.
Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress V2 18V 1976
rate 60%, range 40%, color 60-70%.
Note that these settings are based on the 1976 model. David’s actual settings would depend on whether the pedal was modified and how the trim pots were set. On a more recent Deluxe model you probably want to set the rate and colour at 10:00 and roll the range all the way off. The Mooer ElecLady should be set with the colour at 9:30, rate 2:30 and the range off.
MXR Digital Delay
These were typical time settings for the era, with varying feedback and level settings depending on the song.
David’s setup was based on the red Stratocaster, with the EMG SA pickups and the SPC and EXG tone boosters, an extensive pedal and effect rack setup and the amp rig, consisting of a split between the Hiwatts and the Doppola custom rotating speakers. These were mixed lower than the Hiwatts for a mild chorusy tone.
Pink Floyd performing Sorrow in London’s Earl’s Court 1994. David’s huge tone is drenched in modulation and spread out in lush stereo. It’s much smoother and darker sounding, compared to the 2006 tones but apart from all the rotating speaker cabinets and chorusy stereo, the essence of the tone is the red Strat with EMG SA pickups, Sovtek Big Muff, Chanlder Tube Driver and delay.
level 2:00, attack 11:00, sustain 11:30.
You don’t need to use a compressor to achieve these tones. In most cases you’re better off without one, avoiding noise and feedback.
Sovtek Big Muff Pi Civil War
gain 50-60%, tone 40%, level 50-60%
Chandler Tube Driver
level 2:00, hi 2:00, low 2:00, drive 8:00
David had two of these in the rig. One for overdrive and one for boosting. The one dedicated for boosting was often used in combination with the Sovtek Big Muff. Depending on how hot your pickups are and the voicing of your amp, you probably won’t need to boost your Sovtek model or similar clone, as these has enough gain and mid range to operate alone.
speed 11:00, depth 1:00
TC2290 Digital Delay
A typical time setting used on most of the Big Muff solos, with feedback and level settings based on each song.
2006 Live in Gdansk
David’s setup was based on the Black Strat with a custom Seymour Duncan SSL1 bridge pickup, the Pete Cornish (2006) all tubes pedalboard and the Hiwatt amplifiers.
David Gilmour performing Comfortably Numb in Gdansk, Poland in 2006. His tone is stripped to the bone, with only a Pete Cornish P1, BK Butler Tube Driver for boosting and delay.
Pete Cornish P1
sustain 1:00, tone 10:00, volume 11:00
The P1 is a clone of David’s first Big Muff, a ram’s head model, that he acquired around 1975 and has used on just about every Floyd and solo album since. Read more about David Gilmour’s different Big Muff models here.
BK Butler Tube Driver
level 2:00, hi 2:00, low 2:00, drive 8:00
Delay time 650ms
A typical time setting used on most of the Big Muff solos, with feedback and level settings based on each song.
Being on a tight budget doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on the tone. Given that you have a decent sounding guitar and amp, there are tons of great sounding pedals out there that doesn’t cost a fortune.
Having a bunch of pricy pedals is great but it doesn’t get you far if you don’t know how to set up your rig for the tones you want. The budget range, whether it’s guitars, amps or effects, has come a long way in recent years and most companies are putting a lot of effort into this segment because they’ve finally realised that most people don’t really have that much to spend these days.
Get the best guitar, amp and pedals you can afford and no matter what that is or how much it costs, learn how everything works and how you can get the most from it. That’ll save you a lot of hard earned bucks in the long run.
If you need to prioritise, then I suggest that you try not to focus too much on a specific tone. That will only limit your options. Go for something versatile that will cover as much ground as possible.
With David Gilmour’s Big Muff tones in mind – you don’t need a compressor, no EQ and not even a booster. A distortion, overdrive and delay will allow you to cover most of the rhythm and lead tones. If your budget allows it, then you might want to throw in a modulation pedal like a flanger for the late 70s tones or a chorus for the 80s and 90s. If you do want to boost the Muff, then go for a transparent overdrive that can double as a booster as shown in the booster section above.
This setup is based on my Stratocatser with a Seymour Duncan SSL5 bridge pickup into a Reeves Custom 50, with a 4×12″ cabinet loaded with Weber Thames 80w speakers. The tone is inspired by David’s Animals live setup in particular but applies to the whole 1976-83 period.
Airbag performing White Walls (All Rights Removed 2011) in our former rehearsal studio back in late 2010. My tone on the solo is heavily influenced by David Gilmour’s Animals and The Wall live tones, with the Electronic Orange Pig Hoof (red), ThroBak Overdriveboost and EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress.
The combination of the Reeves amp and the Weber Thames speakers, is a close resemblance to David’s Hiwatt amps and Fane Crescendo speakers. Both the Reeves/Hiwatt and Weber/Fane has a bright tone, with slight boost in upper mid range, which makes the Big Muff sound open and focused.
The SSL5 bridge pickup has a high output, rolled off highs and pronounced mid range, which fits a Big Muff perfectly. I usually roll down the guitar volume to about 9, to smooth out any harshness in the tone and bring out the harmonics of the Big Muff. I also use a heavy gauge 1.14 pick, which adds to the attack of the tone.
In this clip I’m only using an Effectrode PC-2A compressor, Vick Audio ’73 Ram’s Head, Mooer ElecLady flanger and delay. No boosting. The Big Muff has almost a fuzz character to it, with the attack and sustain of a Big Muff.
Electronic Orange Pig Hoof (red)
level 10:30, tone 11:00 and gain 1:00
The pedal is a clone of the mid 70s “violet” ram’s head, which has a bit more gain and brightness compared to the earlier ram’s heads. The Pig Hoof is also very loud, so unity level is around 11:00. I’ve set mine just a tad lower to bring out as much of the harmonics in the tone as possible. I’m using a booster to compensate for the slight volume drop.
Buffalo FX Powerbooster
bass 9:00, drive 2:00, level 1:00, treble 10:30
This is a clone of the 18V Colorsound Powerbooster, with an additional master volume control. The pedal has a lot of headroom, so I’ve bumped up the gain quite a lot but it’s still just at the edge of breakup. The bass is rolled down considerably to avoid the Muff sounding boomy.
Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress V4 1999
rate 9:00, range off, colour 10:00
The Deluxe model has a bit more of that “jet” character compared to the late 70s model. I’ve rolled the range all the way down for a more subtle effect but you might want to turn it up to around 10:00 for a more authentic The Wall tone.
Boss DD-2 digital delay
level 11:00, feedback 12:00 (aprox 7 repeats), time 1:30 (440ms), mode L
The DD-2 sounds similar to the MXR DDL, with a typically digital accuracy but a warm analog touch to it. These units are old and I’ve had pedals that differ in the time settings so use a reference delay or metronome to get the right time.
So, to sum it up my best tip is to find a Big Muff that sounds great with your setup, regardless of what David Gilmour or any other guitarist might be using. A Big Muff is a Big Muff, true, but it’s the fine nuances between each model, your guitar and amp, your playing and how you set up everything that makes the magic. I think that once you realise that the Big Muff is so much more than just the pedal David Gilmour used on Comfortably Numb, a whole new world of tone and inspiration will emerge.

Easily Clean Stockfeed Mills & Grain Storage Sites in Australia
September 15, 2020
The 2020/2021 Australian Grain Harvest is rapidly approaching and the time for cleaning out your grain store is running out.
It’s really important to give your grain store a thorough clean before fumigating. Get all the dust and grain out of pits, elevators and augers which can harbour pests and disease.
It’s really important to clean all those nooks and crannies to protect your yield fully once you bring it in.
The Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner is the ideal all-round agricultural vacuum cleaner for cleaning out your grain store: quickly, easily and without stirring up dust.
Clean Large Concrete Floor Areas Dust Free
Clean large floors quickly with a Big Brute Warehouseman Farm Vacuum Cleaner. The Big Brute Warehouseman 710mm Wide Front Floor Brush lets you clean large concrete floor areas in your grain store quickly.
It leaves a really clean floor behind you – without leaving that horrible, gritty feeling underfoot, all without stirring clouds of choking fine dust up into the air.
Reach Way up High and Deep Down into Receival Pits
With its long 15 metres of suction hose, you can clean up high into elevators and rafters, down deep into grain pits, and clean all around the edges of the store – all with minimal movements of your Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner.
Leave the Big Brute in place and you can reach all around your grain store for a thorough clean.
The suction rate of a Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner is 800kg of wheat an hour out of a 24 metre deep pit. All from a 16A outlet!
Need even longer reach? Use up to 30m of suction hose without a loss of suction. Join 2 x 15m lengths of suction hose together with a coupler to reach even further, without losing any suction.
Clean Every Square Inch from Top to Bottom
With a full range of cleaning tools, the Floor, Wall and Ceiling Toolkit is ideal for getting every square square inch of your grain store from top-to-bottom.
Use the V30 Round Brush with its firm bristles to dislodge and suck up dust and dirt from ledges and walls.
Reach right up high with the V28 extra-long aluminium extension tube – ideal for cleaning right up walls.
Get right into all those nooks and crannies with the V31 Stainless Steel Crevice Tool – use for tough scraping for getting rid of caked-on dirt.
Wet & Dry versions available for Grain Port Terminals
Wet & Dry Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner versions are also available. Still have the same awesome Big Brute suction power in dry mode but also have the ability to suck a gallon of water a second over a 15 metre length of suction hose.
The Big Brute Wet & Dry Industrial Vacuum Cleaner model is ideal for port terminals with pits that constantly flood.
Empty Directly into Hoppers via a Forklift.
The Big Brute Suck & Dump range allows you to empty directly into your hoppers and bulka bags by way of a forklift or telehandler onsite.
The Big Brute Cone Base Suck & Dump Industrial Vacuum Cleaner model has inbuilt forklift tine slots with a 200mm easy empty bottom trap door. Due to its conical base shape, it will completely empty each time. Capacity on this model is approximately 170kg of wheat at a time.
The Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner range is available Australia Wide.
Please call 1300 441 281 or email us firstname.lastname@example.org for further information.

I have a potential client who has sent me the functional spec for their app idea. The spec is a PPT, which does a pretty good job at specifying the features, design and flow of information within the app. Of course, by just reviewing the spec you cannot be sure to be 100% certain you have acknowledged all requirements.
No contract has been signed, but they are very interested in working with me. We've agreed this would be a fixed-rate contract.
I'm considering suggesting to meet with their team and determine all requirements based on the spec. This seems like a lot of work for both teams (plus I wouldn't be paid yet) and something that should only be done after the contract is signed. Plus, it may turn them off from working with me.
Otherwise, does it make sense to send them a proposal with an estimate based on the spec, sign a service agreement based on the estimate, then meet with their team to formally review requirements in detail, then re-evaluate the cost?
My question is when in the process do you determine the "final" requirements for the project, and when do you determine what to charge for the work?

Eastern North Carolina has experienced many storms in recent decades.
Dynamics of Extreme Events, People and Places (DEEPP) would like to understand how families and communities prepare for, are affected by, and recover from these events.
One of the best ways to do this is to ask people directly and DEEPP will launch a survey in six communities affected by Hurricanes Matthew, Florence and Dorian. Interviewers will be on Ocracoke and the mainland in October and November to talk to islanders on the following topics:
● storm impacts on property
● disruptions of day-to-day life
● access to recovery programs
● stress felt during and after storms
● how neighbors help each other get through challenging times
● attitudes about the future
This survey is one part of the larger DEEPP project which brings together social and environmental scientists and engineers, said Dr. Elizabeth Frankenberg, project director.
“Our broad goal is to understand the environmental, economic, social and psychological impacts of flooding in Carolina communities,” she said.
DEEPP will combine the survey data with satellite imaging, flood mapping and storm surge mapping in order to provide communities and policy makers with information they can use in preparing for and recovering from these disasters.
“We hope our work will help North Carolinians and other residents of flood-prone areas in the United States,” Frankenberg said.
Please email questions, comments or suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.org.
DEEPP is a collaborative effort of the Carolina Population Center, the Institute for Marine Sciences, the Institute for the Environment, the Odum Institute, and the Coastal Resilience Center.
The project is made possible through a Creativity Hub grant from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Growing Convergence Research award (CGR 2021086) from the National Science Foundation.

But Universal Studios and Nickelodeon Studios were officially opened to the public on June 7, 1990.
The celebration was huge as it was being broadcast live in front of millions of kids anxiously awaiting to see this brand new studio headquarters exclusively for kids. This 3 hour long special was hosted by Marc Summers and there were many guest stars of popular Nickelodeon stars at the time such as Harvey from Double Dare, Les Lye from You Can't Do That on Television, Greg Lee from Total Panic, Christine Taylor and Kelly Brown from Hey Dude, and many more.
At the end of the 3 hour special, the new slime geyser burst with slime and gak to officially close the opening to Nickelodeon, but it wasn't until October in which the opening of the geyser was more official. More celebrities like Russel Johnson from Gilligan's Island were there. People who had gotten slimed would get buttons and T-shirts saying that they were the first people in Universal Studios to do so.
Stage 17 would be used for The Game Lab in which kids would come and play games or goof around or trying new game shows. Combining with Stage 18, they would be filming GUTS/Global Guts. Soundstages 18 and 19 would be used for production offices, dressing rooms, make up rooms, and the Gak Kitchen. The Gak Kitchen was one of the most popular things to do when they would give tours for kids.
On April 12, 1992, a Nickelodeon time capsule was buried on Universal Studios and wouldn't be opened for another 50 years. Kids had buried things that meant the world to them in 1992 such as a stick of bubblegum, roller skates, a Game Boy, VHS copies of Home Alone and Back to the Future, a Michael Jackson and MC Hammer CD, a jar of Gak, Barbie dolls, an issue of Nickelodeon magazine, a Nickelodeon T-shirt, a piece of the Berlin Wall, and more.
There was a live broadcast of the burial of the capsule hosted by Mike O'Malley and Joey Lawrence. For more information on the topic, check out the website mentalfloss.com. Thanks Moviefan12 from Manic Expression for showing me this!
During those years, many shows such as Eureeka's Castle, Allegra's Window, Gullah Gullah Island, All That, Kenan and Kel, GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out, What Would You Do?, Slime Time Live, Nick in the Afternoon, Double Dare 2000, Taina, and Noah Knows Best was filmed. Unfortunately, around the 2000s, things started to go a bit downhill for Nickelodeon. Even though, they gotten a new paint job and new additions like the Jimmy Neutron ride, it wasn't enough.
A new stage facility called Nickelodeon on Sunset was built in California and that was where most of the shows were being filmed there. Originally, the Earl Carroll Theater, the 3rd and 4th seasons of Kenan and Kel, the 4th through 10th season of All That, The Amanda Show, and The Nick Cannon Show moved there to be filmed. Due to that, a few people lost their jobs and the popularity of Nickelodeon Studios began to wane a bit.
Also kids' game shows at the time were no longer popular and the last one that was released there was called Splat. It was a huge failure being cancelled less than a few months after it aired.
With all those things combine, on April 30, 2005, Nickelodeon Studios was officially closed forever. All the Nickelodeon decorations, the slime geyser, and the time capsule was removed and for many people, Nickelodeon was officially dead to them. After being there for 14 years and over 2,000 episodes for many shows were filmed, Nickelodeon Studios created a legacy that millions of children will remember. An opportunity to see their favorite shows live and maybe even be on TV was huge for them. Happy memories that they would cherish for the rest of their lives would be created there while creating their own Gak. Their childhood of visiting Nickelodeon Studios whenever they would go to Universal Studios was gone. It was truly a sad day. I was fortunate to see Nickelodeon Studios while it was up seeing a live taping of Double Dare 2000 and even playing a game at the Game Lab. I will cherish it forever.
The time capsule has been moved to the Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando still awaiting to be opened on 2042. Just 30 more years and we'll see the day that all those things from back then being shown to a new generation of kids. I'm going to be 56 when that happens! Yikes!
Two years later, it would be replaced by The Blue Man Group where they would make their performances.
However, may we never forget what Nickelodeon Studios meant to us as a whole. Let the legacy of what it created for us as kids be always in our hearts.
To learn more about the history of Nickelodeon Studios, check out this article at retrojunk.com. That's all for now. Hope to see you around Old School Lane soon. Thanks for reading.

A new video for an international research collaboration into additive repair shows how chocolate can help teach school children about engineering and science.
The video features Dr Rahul Mandal, research associate at the Nuclear AMRC and winner of The Great British Bake Off in 2018. As a Stem Ambassador, Mandal regularly works with local schools to encourage students to study science, technology, engineering and maths-based subjects – and welding with chocolate is a great way to get their attention.
The welding and additive manufacturing technologies being developed by the Amos project are rather more advanced, and could be used by the aerospace industry by the time today’s primary school pupils are planning their careers.
The Amos project (Additive manufacturing optimisation and simulation platform for repairing and remanufacturing of aerospace components) is a collaboration between nine companies and research institutions across Europe and Canada, led by the Nuclear AMRC.
Since the project’s launch in 2016, the Amos team have investigated a range of additive manufacturing techniques which combine welding tools with automated control to accurately deposit and melt metal powder or wire. Many of these techniques are already used in aerospace and other industries to build new parts to near-net shape.
Amos has developed these techniques to repair and remanufacture aerospace components such as turbine blades and landing gear. This could significantly reduce the time and cost of maintenance, while reducing material waste and extending the life of expensive components.
The Nuclear AMRC’s additive manufacturing team, headed by technology lead Udisien Woy, focused on additive repair with the aerospace alloy Inconel. The team completed extensive trials using two additive processes – gas tungsten arc welding with Inconel wire, and diode laser welding with powdered metal – and analysed the material performance of hundreds of repairs.
The centre’s inspection specialists also worked with intentionally damaged samples produced by the industrial partners to help develop innovative scanning technologies.
Amos is supported by the European Horizon 2020 programme and Canadian funding agencies CARIC and NSERC. Results from the project will be shared with the supply chain in the new year.

Examining creativity’s dual nature in providing a healthy outlet for self-expression as well as a mechanism for avoidance, the graphic novel ex-plores the excitement of an artist unlocking their imagination and the dire consequences of getting lost . . . in the margins.
In The Margins, artist Charley Keo’s new gig begins as a fun challenge to breathe new life into the forgotten pulp world of Elad – this time as a comic book. But as tendrils of this lost realm creep into her sleepy Portland neighborhood, Charley realizes that Elad is much more than the lines on a day-dreamt map, more than the sum of an old hack’s prose. Elad has its hooks in Charley, and what was once fantasy has become deadly reality for both the artist and the woman she loves. “The Margins is an amazingly original and insightful look into the creative process,” says Fanbase Press President Bryant Dillon. “David, Paul, and Amanda do an incredible job of exploring the motivations that can cause a creator get lost within their own imagina-tion, all while taking us on a thrilling and fascinating fantasy journey.” The Margins is currently available for pre-order through the Fanbase Press website (www.fanbasepress.com), and the graphic novel will be released for sale on July 23, 2018. The creative team will also provide attendees of San Diego Comic-Con 2018 with a special opportunity to purchase an advance signed copy of the book! Pre-orders made by June 1, 2018, will receive an exclusive sketch by Amanda Donahue, as well as a digi-tal “Tales from the Margins” companion story by David Accampo and a bookplate signed by the entire creative team.

Only 28 per cent of 117,500 newly created positions taken by local job seekers while layoffs rise
Mismatch of expectations leads to slow job take-up rate
Despite the National Jobs Council creating 117,500 jobs and training and attachment opportunities as of end-August, only 33,100 positions, or 28.17 per cent, were taken by local job seekers.
Even more sobering, only 6,650, or 15.2 per cent, of 43,750 openings for long-term jobs for professionals, managers, executives and technicians were taken by locals.
Why are these jobs going begging when retrenchments are rising because of Covid-19? From April to June, layoffs more than doubled to 8,130 compared with the first quarter.
The answer lies mainly in job matching or, to be more precise, a mismatch of expectations between job seeker and potential employer.
Take local car-sharing platform and tech solutions provider Tribecar's challenges in trying to hire locals with tech skills.
Its co-founder Adrian Lee told The New Paper: "If the candidates have similar merits, we would want to hire a Singaporean or permanent resident.
"But every local tech graduate wants to work for companies like Facebook and Amazon. If they can't get in there, then they aim for well-funded tech firms or the government sector.
"That leaves 99 per cent of Singapore businesses facing a drought for tech talent."
The Fair Consideration Framework dictates firms must advertise jobs on the MyCareersFuture.sg portal for at least 28 days before applying for a new Employment Pass or S Pass for a foreign candidate. Those found to be unfair in the selection process can be taken to task.
Mr David Leong, managing director of human resource firm PeopleWorldwide Consulting, said many such positions are in areas where locals may lack the required skills.
"IT roles generally have higher hurdle requirements and are not easy to place since skills are key in the roles," he said.
Both retrenched or new job seekers may not be suitable as "such skills cannot be portable" and thus they are "unlikely able to jump in and become immediately effective and productive".
Also, the older, better skilled and more experienced workers can afford to spend more time on job hunting, said Singapore University of Social Sciences associate professor of economics Walter Theseira.
"The choice for many retrenched Singaporeans will be... hoping to find a similar job at their last drawn or better pay," he said.
A Ministry of Manpower (MOM) spokesman said it is "natural" for mid-career job seekers to consider long and hard before making a switch as they may need to "step out of familiar comfort zones".
Earlier this month, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said the matching of vacancies with job seekers is not a straightforward process, and the system will be improved.
Mr Heng, who is also Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies and Finance Minister, said the review includes looking at how the database systems available can be better used for job matching.
"And this is what the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Centres and other agencies will be doing," he added.
The SGUnited Skills Programme enables job seekers to acquire new industry-relevant skills and company attachments while its Mid-Career Pathways Programme gives employers and job seekers a chance to evaluate first-hand if the job and individual are a good fit.
Mr Leong said as long as "job seekers are willing to consider a switch... and to absorb some pay adjustments, there are opportunities for a rebound".
Mr Gabriel Sim, 49, did just that after losing his events and sales director job in July when his company restructured. He took a 50 per cent cut to take up a sales manager role in a smaller events company last month.
"It's better to be gainfully employed than being jobless," said the sole breadwinner with three children.
NeXT Career Consulting Group founder Paul Heng said some companies also take their time filling non-critical roles.
He added: "Some employers are looking for the perfect-fit candidate who meet every one of their hiring prerequisites."
MOM has encouraged employers to look beyond hiring the perfect candidate.
Said its spokesman: "We will need progressive employers who are prepared to give an opportunity to local job seekers who may not have the full set of skills to do the job from day one, but who can be trained up, instead of looking for candidates who can 'plug and play' immediately."

The Real Deal won an award from the New York Press Club for best crime reporting in the magazine category for senior reporter Konrad Putzier’s coverage of Bar Works, the organization announced this week.
Editorial director Hiten Samtani and managing web editor James Kleimann shared the award with Putzier. In January 2017, TRD uncovered that a British accused fraudster using an assumed name was secretly running the New York-based co-working startup Bar Works, whose investment offerings were similar to past alleged Ponzi schemes. Putzier’s subsequent articles traced the victims’ efforts to recover their money, and showed how Bar Works was part of a broader rise of online real estate investment fraud.
In June, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled fraud charges the Bar Works founder, Renwick Haddow. He was arrested in Morocco and later extradited to the U.S., where he faces trial. Prosecutors allege that he took $37 million from investors.
The prestigious New York Press Club awards are nationally recognized for honoring excellence in journalism and have been covered in publications like the New York Times and Bloomberg.
TRD’s Bar Works coverage is also part of a package of stories that recently won a general excellence award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, which honors exceptional business journalism across the U.S.

The Economic Development Potential of the Green Sector
- Author(s): Ong, Paul M.;
- Patraporn, Rita Varisa
- et al.
This brief contains policy recommendations on establishing a regional economic development and job creation initiative to grow the Green sector into a significant export base. The long-term goals are to capture internal and external economies of scale, agglomeration benefits, and a cutting edge market identity to develop a region as a leader for meeting the growing demand for Green jobs and services. This effort requires a rounded and balanced economic ecology that includes strengthening and increasing the number of Green vendors, suppliers and related supply chains. This is a desirable goal because the Green market is projected to grow substantially both domestically and globally over the next decade.

A reader asked:
Do you think that reassurance-seeking is always a bad thing? Because some of your posts seem to imply it.
I didn’t realize my posts sounded that way, but I see what you mean now that you point it out.
No, seeking reassurance isn’t always a bad thing. It can be really good to seek reassurance, and I think everyone needs to do that at least occasionally. If you are afraid that something is wrong, it’s ok to want to check. And it’s ok to do that with the expectation that things are probably ok and that you just need to hear it.
What’s bad is when people seek *unconditional* reassurance. When people seek unconditional reassurance, they want to be convinced that things are ok at all costs – even if things are horribly wrong. That’s dangerous, and destructive. (And particularly dangerous if the thing that’s wrong is the result of something they’re going, but it’s destructive even when the problem is in no way their fault).

These mountains just give me the goosebumps (even though it in fact was a trillion degrees this morning) when I stare at them during my run.
Reason #392 that I love BLUEBUDS X: I can use them to talk to my brother on the phone while I run. They have a magic microphone somewhere in the headphones so I can chat away while I run… who needs running partners when you can just talk away on the phone. I did 7 miles at an 8:17 pace. I took yesterday off so today my legs took about 3 miles to remember how to run again.
I have to tell you about the breakfast that I had yesterday with my mom and brothers.
Just imagine eating a a bowl full of the best hash browns you have ever had topped with sautéed veggies and then topped with eggs and avocado. Let’s just say it was amazing.
Last night (yes, this post is all over the place) I spent time in the backyard eating ice cream with Curly (still calling her Curly even though her hair isn’t quite as curly as it used to be).
I had this kind of ice cream and if you do one thing with your life today, go to the grocery store and buy this.
Oh and how did I forget about this….
Her newest thing is climbing in/on top of/over ever thing in the house. Quite the adventure seeker.
Last flavor of ice cream (or froyo or sorbet) that you had?
What was your breakfast this morning?
Do you like talking while you run or would you prefer not to?
How far did you run today?

Commercial Property Insurance in Chico and Redding, CA
Protection for Your Business Itself
Every day you work hard to ensure that your business stays up and running. From serving your customers and offering your products and services to providing your employees with jobs, your business is a powerhouse of activity. That is why it is important to make sure your commercial property is protected because accidents do happen, and the last thing you want to experience as a business owner is being out of commission and under the wrong policy.
With a custom Property Insurance policy from Jeff Fowler Insurance Services, you can ensure that the building itself and the personal property of your business is protected from minor accidents or a major financial loss. Our insurance specialists can help you create a policy that keeps your small-to medium-size business insured from top to bottom by covering such items as:
All interior items (desks, furniture, etc.)
Any outdoor signs on your property
Other items that are typically found on a Property Insurance policy can include Builder’s Risk insurance and Equipment Breakdown coverage. Builder’s Risk protects any materials or equipment from damage or loss sustained during construction or remodeling, while Equipment Breakdown, or Boiler and Machinery, keeps any electrical, electronic, or pressurized equipment on your premises insured from breakdowns or loss.
Additional Business Protection
In some cases, your business can save more by combining Property with Liability for the convenience of having your business needs met. To find out more about combining coverages, contact Jeff Fowler Insurance Services today.

It's time to feature a selection of stars to have braved my lens. We feature film-maker Paul Cox, broadcaster Phillip Adams and renaissance man Michael Leunig. Actually the title of Renaissance Man applies to each of them. Taken in the mid-1980s, these portraits were part of an interview series i wrote on leading Australia's creatives.
Twenty-five years on they remain influential figures within the Australian Arts cosmos. Portraiture is much less about me inserting my personality into the image than capturing the essence of each 'sitter'. They were all generous as I recall and interested, if not slightly intrigued, by the process. Each demonstrated a playfulness and willingness not to take the 'shoot' too seriously. There's serious play though, at least on my part. Composition, chat (hopefully relaxing and not banal),remaining as focused as my camera. Incidental chat can count almost as much as a quick reflex. Subjects can quickly tire or become anxious if they sense poor preparation. And they can lose confidence that you will produce that defining image.
I experimented with a multiple exposure of Paul Cox to capture his multi-faceted, complex talent. The result wasn't intended to ape Picasso but it does share some of that fractured vision. Phillip Adams showed me around his garden and where some have gnomes or hyacinths, he had enough antiquity to make a Pharaoh weep - or feel that he had never left home. Michael Leunig was a model of hospitality. I recall his smiling eyes and love of ducks. A week or so after my visit to his rural property, one of his Saturday Reflections featured a giant thong washed up on the beach. My large thongs caught his attention during our shoot, which just goes to prove that my footwear might have stirred his hyperactive sub-conscious. Fond memories of each and every one.

Symphonium by Xerjoff is a Amber Vanilla fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Symphonium was launched in 2020. Top notes are Orange and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Chocolate and Cardamom; base notes are Thailand Oud, Laotian Oud, Madagascar Vanilla and Musk. "A fragrance which intriguingly evokes mystery with row of delectable notes beside warm aura of extravagant woodiness. Symphonium unveils with piquant Spanish mandarin and mouth-watering orange juice. Heart-melting and evocative like a poem. Like a chorus of divine voices. The appetizing citrus accord engages with Indian cardamom which introduces fresh air of top to warm Belgian chocolate core. Intense sweet and deliciously dark, it brings highly desirable scrumptious aura and calls for inevitably voluptuous musk. Wealthy duet of premium oud woods from Thailand and Laos, and exquisite vanilla from Madagascar enhance cryptic persona of Symphonium." - a note from the brand. Top notes: Spanish mandarin and orange Middle notes: Indian cardamom and Belgian chocolate Base notes: musk, vanilla Madagascar, mix of Laos Thai oud Symphonium is available as a 100ml Parfum from 2020.

Now, with that explanation out of the way, here’s a letter Morning Liz recently (as in today) composed for Night Liz:
Dear Night Liz,
I’ll be brief since you have the attention span of a gnat on dope.
You’re killing me! Really. You are.
Do you have any regard for how early I have to get up?
Do you think I like rushing around in the morning because I hit snooze one too many times?
Do you know what it’s like to wake up already exhausted?
Of course you don’t! You leave that all for me to deal with.
And I’m really starting to hate you for it. A deep, passionate, loathsome hate.
So please, I beg of you, keep this in mind tonight when you think of starting French lessons at 10:00pm, or that 11:45pm is the perfect time to begin a puzzle.
If you don’t, I’ve already talked to Mid-Afternoon Liz, and she’s fully prepared to take a sleeping pill or two in order to avoid you all together.
Heed my warning!
P.S. Don’t be surprised if you get a letter from Day Liz. She also has a bone to pick with you.

Good-bye, pyramid. Hello, plate. The U.S. government’s advice to Americans on what they should eat is undergoing a shake-up as top officials search for a better way to get across the healthy eating message, reports The Globe and Mail. This means the old nutrition pyramid has been scrapped in favour of a simple plate image.
The new MyPlate image is divided into the major food groups people should consume most: fruits, vegetables, grains and protein. Dairy is featured as a beverage off to the side of this plate.
While not perfect, the plate highlights serious problems with the Canadian government’s guide to healthy eating, warns Bill Jeffery, national co-ordinator of the Canadian branch of the consumer advocacy group, Centre for Science in the Public Interest. Continue reading

During the Facebook earnings call today, Mark Zuckerberg was asked about the rumors of Facebook building its own phone with HTC.
His response was:
Building out a whole phone really wouldn’t make much sense for us to do.
While Facebook has reiterated that it is dedicated to developing mobile functionality and services for its users and advertisers, this is the first time that Facebook has publicly said that it’s basically not working on its own branded phone.
This of course doesn’t mean that Facebook won’t work with handset manufacturers about pre-loading Facebook apps, but if you’re looking for a shiny blue “Facebook Phone”, it seems like Zuckerberg just crushed that
Rumors have been swirling that the Menlo Park firm had hired iPhone and iPad engineers to work on the phone, but perhaps they were brought in to make its existing apps better and more responsive.
With the company stating that it’s laser focused on providing the social layer for the entire web, straying away from that goal, say with a mobile phone project, could scare off investors.

Big Run Wolf Ranch is a federally licensed non-profit educational facility specializing in North
American wildlife. We have been licensed for approximately 25 years and doing educational lectures for
approximately 21 years.
Many of the animals here at Big Run have been rescued wherein the only other alternative was euthanasia.
Although we have rescued many animals, Big Run's primary objective is education. Currently, we are unable to
comfortably house any additional wildlife. We are in the preliminary stages of planning out our larger facility,
where we will be able to provide homes for orphaned wildlife. Our plans include an on-site rehab medical facility
as well as an 1800 sq. ft. on-site education center. With the continued generous support of the public, our facility
will expand as funds allow.
John Basile, President, has held a USDA federal license and has been working with large North American predators
for 25 years.

FTL: Faster Than Light, the starship managerial roguelike-like sim that will make you feel like a Starfleet captain, is available for only $5.99 on GOG.com. That's 40% off for the next 24 hours.
FTL: Faster Than Light is a tough game. Some would say that at times it's unfair. To that any spacecraft captain would promptly reply: "life isn't fair, crewman! Suck it up. Now zip-up that red uniform of yours and go check the contamination levels in the second airlock". They would be quite right. Life in the depths of space has no place for such concepts of fairness. You need to be prepared for solar winds blowing in your face. You need to expect to be suddenly boarded by alien pirates. You need to have a backup backup backup reactor core. That's just every day's reality for a starship commander. Although, hard as it may seem, you get to reroute power to the shields and launch photon torpedoes at stuff, so in the end it's way more satisfying than all other careers you could have.
FTL: Faster Than Light is a meticulous simulation of a spaceship commander's duties. The fate of the ship and its crew lies in your hands, so your performance has to be flawless. You have to track many of the craft's systems at once, issue orders to your men, and plan at least five steps ahead. The galaxy you'll be traversing is procedurally generated and full of danger, so the game provides infinite replayability and challenge. If you are a sci-fi fan and you enjoy difficult games, FTL: Faster Than Light will mesmerize you with its setting and unforgiving mechanics.
Boldly go, where several men have gone before and got their butts kicked by aliens! Grab FTL: Faster Than Light, for only $5.99!

The mission will start off after you have given Herbert his four tapes from the previous mission, he will then proceed to tell you that the fourth piece of the compass is in his chest that will sit to the right of the small staircase leading to his hut. After you shoot the chest and open it is revealed that the compass piece is destroyed and that you must gather material for Herbert to make a new fourth piece to the compass.
You need to go to the Washburne Refinery which is accessable in the top right corner of the Wurmwater map. You get in the refinery by going a small village area which will have a Catch-a-Ride and an Ammo Dump in it. You go over to where there are some cables and hit one of the lift switches to for a lift to come down, after the lift comes down, enter it and proceed to go to the entrance of the Washburne Refinery, however before entering there is a loader that does spawn there some times, depending on your playthrough.
Once in the Washburne Refinery, there will be an Ammo Dump and a Dr. Zed medical machine plus a fast travel machine. After passing these you will be instructed by Herbert that he needs four pieces of Poly-Kryten in order to remake the piece of the compass You will turn left and continue until you are in a large room, the first piece of Poly-Kryten is going to be on the left after the two flights of stairs, however in the room are a mix of GUN-Loaders, HOT-Loaders, JNK-Loaders and EXP-Loaders, clear them out before going for the first piece. (SIDE-NOTE - there is a DAHL chest after the first small flight of stairs to your left that is on the right of one of the doors the Loaders spawn at.) The first piece will be on a table on left at the top of the stairs. The next two pieces are in plain sight.
Continue on far enough and you will come to an outdoor arena area. Clear it of enemies and a large boss, H3RL-E, will arrive. This is a large Loader Robot. It will attack you by catapulting explosives at you. It takes nothing more than a few direct hits with a rocket launcher to take him down. Go out of the arena and pick up the last piece.
Return to Herbert and give him the Poly-Kryten. Pick up the finished compass piece. Give Herbert the gift if he's been annoying you, then return to Captain Scarlett.
Finally! With the last piece repaired and functional, you should be able to reassemble Captain Blade's compass and uncover the location of the Treasure of the Sands.

A traditional setting allows the craftsman to put a personal mark on the motif. The craftsman determines the exact number of gemstones to set as well as the design of the motif on the work entrusted to him. He starts with fine drilling then goes on to size the holes. Like a sculptor in the material, he makes repeated cuts. With these cuts he draws out the grain that will hold the gem stones. At this stage, each stone is positioned and must be carefully adjusted to achieve a perfectly snug fit. Lastly the grain is circular-grained, after which the stone will not move from its setting.

I-Cubs Get Thumped by River Cats
Nate Spears and Brad Snyder smacked home runs, but it wasn't enough, as the Sacramento River Cats (the Oakland A's AAA affiliate) scratched out a 10-5 victory over the Iowa Cubs this afternnon at the Papago Park Sports Complex in Phoenix.
Spears missed several games after being hit on the hand with a pitch last Saturday, but he returned to the scene of the crime (and the lineup) with a bang today, hitting the first pitch of the game over the RF fence.
The first three I-Cubs pitchers struggled, as Randy Wells and Dumas Garcia had difficulty throwing strikes, while Ken Kadokura was just plain awful (five runs on eight hits--including three doubles and a triple, in just two innings of work), but Justin Berg and Jeff Stevens retired the last six batters they faced, Berg with an easy 1-2-3 nine-pitch 7th (eight strikes and only one ball, resulting in a 6-3, Ks, and P-3), and then Jeff Stevens struck out the side in the 8th.
In Iowa Cubs roster news, hard-throwing 26-year old RHP Rocky Roquet (who has been terrible since reporting to the Iowa Cubs) has been traded to the Oakland A's for a PTBNL (Roquet was an NRI to big league camp), LHP Edward Campusano (another NRI to big league camp who got sentt back to Iowa) has been released (couldn't throw strikes, never really recovered from April 2007 TJS), and OF Richie Robnett (acquired from OAK in the Michael Wuertz trade, and then outrighted off the 40-man roster last week) and IF-OF Matt Camp have been demoted to AA Tennessee. So the Iowa Cubs roster presently stands at 33 (16 pitchers, four catchers, eight infielders, and five outfielders), with nine cuts left to make by the end of the week (the AA and AAA regular season roster limits are 24, not 25).
Here is today's abridged box score (Iowa Cubs players only). Randy Wells batted twice (including once after he had already been replaced on the mound) because he is being prepped as a rotation starter for Iowa, and the Cubs wanted him to get a couple of ABs in addition to extending his pitch count up past 50 (he was used as a one-inning reliever in Cactus League games before he was optioned to Iowa from big league camp).
1. Nate Spears, DH #1: 1-3 (HR, 6-3, 4-3, BB - 1 R, 1 RBI)
2. So Taguchi, RF: 0-4 (F-8, F-9, 5-3, 4-6-3 DP)
3. Esteban German, 3B: 1-3 (1B, 5-3, BB, 6-3 - 1 R)
4a. Randy Wells, P-DH #2: 0-1 (3-U SH, F-8)
5. Jake Fox, 1B: 0-2 (Kc, HBP, BB, F-8 - 1 R)
6. Brad Snyder, CF: 1-3 (4-3, 3-U, BB, HR, 1 R, 1 RBI)
7. Jason Dubois, LF: 2-4 (1-3, 2B, Ks, 2B - 1 R)
8. Mark Johnson, C: 2-3 (1B, F-8, BB, 2B - 2 RBI)
9. Andres Blanco, SS: 0-4 (P-4, 6-3, 4-3, Kc -1 RBI)
10. Luis Rivas, 2B: 0-3 (6-3, 5-3, L-8)
1. Randy Wells - 2.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R (3 ER), 2 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 1 WP, 51 pitches (26 strikes), 6/1 GO/FO
2. Ken Kadokura - 2.0 IP, 8 H, 6 R (6 ER), 0 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 43 pitches (27 strikes), 3/1 GO/FO
3. Dumas Garcia - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 46 pitches (22 strikes) , 1/4 GO/FO
4. Justin Berg - 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, nine pitches (eight strikes), 1/1 GO/FO
5. Jeff Stevens - 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 17 pitches (10 strikes)

Chris Blattman thinks that NGOs are atrocious in the way they bury criticism. This was his opinion given in response to a paper showing NGOs were twice as likely to want to work with outside, independent academics who appear to have an a priori view that is supportive of the sector in which they work (microfinance in the study) than they would if the a priori view was critical.
I work for an NGO and largely agree with the Blattman. Indeed this blog has covered NGO unconstructive responses to criticism before (here and here). I also like the study design which reminds me of those experiments where identical CVs were sent out but with different names on top to test latent racist attitudes. But I think there are some important points to make in response.
- As pointed out in a comment on Blattman’s post, in the study the negative treatment email’s opening sentence of paragraph 2 is pretty uncompromising: “Academic research suggests that microfinance is ineffective.” This blunt approach, which mirrors exactly the positive treatment email, unfortunately does not conform to social norms in how we express disagreement, which is usually hedged in a way to give due acknowledgement of the correspondent’s position. In short the negative email approach does not make them sound like great partners.
- People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. We all struggle to deal with countervailing views. Science is littered with examples of where prominent academics of the time have suppressed publication of a paper that ran counter to their view of the world, only for it later to turn out the author was correct and the bigwigs wrong.
- NGOs live, work and fundraise in the real world, not some idealised planet populated by homo rationalis. The robust battle of ideas that lies at the heart of academic life may be the anomaly, not NGO responses to criticism. Inaccurate or inappropriate criticism can do a lot of damage to an otherwise successful programme. NGOs may conclude it is better to do their learning behind closed doors, and then change direction if appropriate, than to admit their failures. Like it or not, I suspect many of the most successful NGOs are probably those which more carefully burnish their reputations by controlling the release of bad news about their work.
However, in my view, none of the above constitute sufficient justification for the lack of openness amongst many NGOs in the conservation and development sectors. The time has come for admitting failure and other exercises in honest self-assessment and humility. Though the road may be tough, eventually we will all be stronger for it.

“What would you think,” my husband asked, “if I got a vasectomy?”
I put down my magazine and stared out the window. “I think,” I said carefully, “that I wouldn’t know what to think.”
“We’re done, though, right?”
“I think so.”
“But you don’t want to get pregnant again, right?”
“I don’t want to be pregnant again, no. Or at least, I don’t think so. I think. No. I don’t know.”
That wasn’t entirely true. I do know. I don’t want to be pregnant again. And I certainly don’t want to go through childbirth again. And I could do without ever going through another exhausted-depressed-anxious-boobchafed tour-de-newborn again. But do I want to ensure that I never get pregnant again, that I never have another child? I don’t know. I don’t think that those questions are the same. Do you want (or not want) to go through the process of having another child? is a different question from do you want (or not want) to have another child? in the same way that do you like the work of motherhood? is a different question from do you like being a mother? or do you love being mother to your children?
I don’t like pregnancy. I don’t like childbirth. I’m not super crazy about the work of motherhood, and I’m especially not crazy about the 24-7 boot camp nightmare that is the work of being a brand new mother to a brand new baby who stays up all night and chomps boobs and shits everywhere. But I love my children. I adore my children. They are the most precious, most delightful, most amazing things in my life. So if you ask me, do I want more mother-work, the fast and firm answer is no. But if you were to ask me whether I’d want another one of these incredible little beings, I would say that I can’t bring myself to say, firmly and finally, no. And if you were to ask me whether I’d accept further burden of mother-work in order to have another one of these little beings, I’d have to say, I just don’t know. I don’t think so, but I don’t know.
All I know is that I don’t want to say no. Not with any kind of finality. Not in a way that closes off any possibility of yes. Or even, oops. (Because oops is a yes of a sort, is it not?)
(yes is a world/and in this world of/yes live/(skilfully curled)/all worlds)
(feel free to roll your eyes at me here)
My hands are full. Emilia is hell on wheels, a brilliant and beautiful tempest that blasts her way through every day, wreaking full havoc and leaving us, her parents, stunned and enchanted and weary in her wake. Jasper is a great, hulking, grinning cherub of a baby, big and strong and determined to catch up to his speedster-demon of a sister. They thrill and delight and exhaust me. I adore them more than I thought it possible to adore any other living beings, but they keep me at the very razor’s edge of my wits. I don’t know that it would be humanly possible for me to manage another child. Ever.
But the idea of closing off any possibility of that third child… that seems, somehow, inexplicably, wrong. I’m not a big believer in destiny – that is, I don’t think that I am – but if there’s a future for us in which a third child figures, do I want to refuse that future? I think of those friends of mine for whom the third (or fourth) was unexpected, a shock even, and I know that if they had it to do over, they would not want to turn back the clock and refuse. But turning back the clock to change the past, and settling upon certain choices for the future are two different things, of course. I have already made innumerable choices that have closed off innumerable futures; I do not, for the most part, mourn the loss of these futures. They just simply are not to be.
Am I ready, though, to close off entirely the possibility of this future, of a future in which our two are our three, in which we four who once were we three become we five?
I don’t know. I just don’t know.
(How did you know? DO you know?)

Hopwas Woods always draws me back, it’s the wild mysterious part of the Tamworth area. As Henry David Thoreau said in Walden ” Our village life would stagnate were it not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.”
People in industrial estates produce objects whereas people in Hopwas produces myths and news stories. Hopwas legend estate! A couple of months back Hopwas was back in the local Tamworth Herald news. The front page stories ran for a couple of weeks on evidence unearthed for occult activities found in the form of engraved copper tablets and Egyptian style statues.
The first reaction from the scientific, rational community is usually one of dismissing it out of hand, sometimes angrily,calling them wild stories, children’s pranks to sell newspapers. Another reaction is to ridicule and belittle the stories and people with the resulting bitchiness on both sides. Take a look at the heated exchange on the Tamworth Herald article comments page for example. I think though it´s more interesting than that.
Hopwas Hayes as one of the most ancient woodlands in the area together with being on a prominent hill is a prime area for goings on. It´s literally an island of wildness surrounded by thousands if not hundreds of thousands people in largely urban space and productive agricultural land. Woodlands did once play an important economic role in the landscape, they provided fuel, building material, charcoal, hunting areas. Now it´s an anomaly, what the hell is it? where does it fit in the modern world, even the army don´t use it anymore?? A place for walking the dog or is more than that
? It´s a non productive space, there´s no museums, woodland trust initiatives, it´s truly a wild place. Maybe even an affront, insult or even frightening unproductive space to some people, but to others could be the ideal place to act out different non-conventional part of their lives from new age beliefs to tree hugging!
Myth becomes reality becomes Myth
My effort to describe the full circle story of the occult and Hopwas below:
prominent point, ancient woods, thought of as source of energy = pagan practitioners attracted and start performing in woods = witches are caught by local police = local media frenzy = gets lodged in local conciousness= mysterious wood becomes more mysterious = attracts, pagan practitioners, kids messing about, stories, ravers, writers = some people as result may avoid scary wood = current day news story, occult objects are found, firm solid ´archaeological type´evidence is found, Staffordshire hoard style.
The process has produced the situation today, a highly charged place full of rumours, attracting and likely to attract certain people from far and wide.
This is all good
This is not a bad thing though this means the wood has become a fascinating place full of meaning for an increasing number of people. Stories of the occult are extremely attractive they help sell a lot of books, films and as the Tamworth Herald has found out, newspapers. They also help though enquiring minds, people want to find out more. People want to know more about this mysterious place, they´ll add stories to the place. Also there will be people who want to debunk these mysteries by trying to proving them wrong and providing the evidence for the history of Hopwas, thus getting to know the history of Hopwas better. People like me will try to use the interest in the strange happenings in Hopwas as a launchpad for my discoveries and encourage exploration of the area. Others like the West Midlands Ghost club have their own research agenda and will keep adding mystery to the place. Witches and non-witches alike will keep dancing.
This is all good, this means Hopwas woods becomes alive with enquiry, exploration for all sorts of people with different approaches and views. This is not something to be scared of there´s enough for everyone, what we should be scared of is the places being ignored. By being ignored it could be condemned, the Woodhouse was a victim of being ignored and looked what happened to it.By being ignored, by not being talked about, and leaving it in the hands of a few, the council, English Heritage, Tarmac, whoever, a lot has been lost over the years and a singular view of history encouraged; all country houses, castles and churches!
Adding more to the witches brew
i) Egyptian occult objects in the Hopwas area, whatever, Tamworth´s used to them. 19th and early 20th century philanthropist Tamworth resident Reverend William Macgregor(nice link and research here) was also a highly respected Egyptologist, he also had one of the most important collections of Egyptian collections in the United Kingdom. He had the collection quartered in his residence at Bolehall Manor, Tamworth with solid rumours that there are Egyptian mummies buried beneath the Palace cinema, now Mcdonalds(this together with Rev William Macgregor warrants a post or blog of it´s own) ! Tutmania right there in Tamworth! Here´s a video of some strange Egyptian goings on from the great Sun Ra in a place in a forest space somewhere
ii. Mysterious ephermeral cottage in Hopwas woods.
This bit of historic map detective work on my part could add to that whole Blair witch theme going on in the woods, I´m justing putting out the material evidence, do with it what you will. Use it in novels, campfire stories,……
1924 Ordnance survey map showing the cottage and grounds next to the canal
Between around 1920 and 1940, the Woodman´s cottage appears on ordnance maps. It´s close to the canal and bridge and adjacent to a well trodden raised path parallel to the canal. After WWII it disappears, from maps and from any record, woooooooooooooooooo. (cue me wandering off in white blanket)
The cottage appears to have some type of enclosed land, haven´t inspected it in person, but on this Lidar image of Hopwas you can clearly make out the cleft out piece of land on the hillside where the cottage probably once stood, is there any more evidence on the ground? what´s the story behind this place?

Exxon More Golden Than Apple Again
Apple stock has dropped sharply since it announced earnings that disappointed analysts. Now the tech tastemaker is paying another price, losing its crown as the world's most valuable company to Exxon Mobil.
Exxon's market capitalization, the total value of its outstanding stock, was about $417 billion Friday. Apple's was about $413 billion.
"The move comes exactly one year after Apple previously surpassed Exxon on its road to most valuable U.S. company of all-time," The Wall Street Journal notes. "Apple's slide has been fast and furious. The gap between Apple and Exxon widened to as much as $240 billion in September. ... Since then, Apple shares have slid more than 35%."
On Thursday alone, Apple's stock sank more than 12 percent, to $450.50 per share. Early Friday afternoon, it was down an additional 2.6 percent.
"Apple's stock price peaked in September at $705.07 on the day the iPhone 5 was released," the Associated Press said. "Exxon, in the meantime, has been trading steady. Its business — oil — seems less prone to stock market ups and downs than the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech darling."
For a long while, Apple seemed it could do no wrong, selling millions of iPhones and iPads and growing its profits along with those sales. But while its sales remain strong, Apple's market share in the smartphone and tablet markets has slipped amid strong competition from Samsung and other rivals.
Bloomberg News says at least 20 analysts lowered their projections for Apple's stock after the company reported slower growth on Wednesday. Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA, told Bloomberg: "This is a big shift in the company's position from a year ago. The growth has slowed down much faster than we anticipated."
Apple's stock took a hit after unconfirmed reports that it was cutting orders to iPhone suppliers, indicating that demand was weakening. "Others were concerned by CEO Tim Cook's remarks during the Wednesday conference call, when he indicated Apple would not reconsider the iPhone's smaller 3.5- and 4-inch screen size at a time when many fast-selling smartphones offer larger screens," the San Jose Mercury News reported.
But the biggest question analysts have for Apple is, what have you done lately?
"It has been nearly three years since a new product has come from a company still seen as the embodiment of innovation," the AP writes. "That last product, the iPad, came in 2010, when its CEO Steve Jobs was still alive. Some analysts question whether Apple can keep growing by just releasing new versions of its old products. The long-rumored Apple TV, is still just that, a rumor."

Stephen Green lays out an excellent set of reasons why it doesn’t matter what the President and the Congress do over the next few days; the federal budget and deficit won’t be fixed by any of the proposals now being offered.
I have one factoid to throw out in addition. It doesn’t matter what tax rates are. Since WW2, federal tax collections have always been more or less 19% of GDP. Because people, especially rich people, plan their affairs with tax consequences in mind, riaising rates slows economic growth so that collections invariably fall short of expectations. Lowering rates stimulates growth so that the feds get 19% of a bigger pie.
Mr. Green seems to understand this basic law of economics.

I'm not sure whether a couple of these have already featured in the past but, if so, it's a pleasure to show them again :)

Many Thanks, David.
Information from Maloney
"Tramcars never ran further along Mottram Road than the tram shed. It was
in 1897 that the first tram tracks were laid between Oldham and Gee
Cross by the "British Electrical Pioneer Company," the electrical tram
car was the latest fad of the times. In 1896, the company obtained a
provisional act for the construction of an electrical tram system from
Oldham through Ashton, Audenshaw, Denton and Hyde and Gee Cross.
Construction on the tramway commenced in 1897 and was completed in 1899.
After the laying of the tracks was completed to Gee Cross, the regular
service began on Monday June 12th 1899. Electrical tram cars, as they
were called, were a convenient way for people to travel between Oldham
and Gee Cross, as they made frequent stops at popular places along the
route. There were sixteen tramcars and they commenced running at noon
each day. The car ran the whole length from Oldham to Gee Cross. The
electrical tramcar service from Hyde to Stockport commenced on January
1st, 1903. Before the electrical tramcar service the route from Hyde to
Ashton was different. The section of the road from the Hollow Brow
(Newton Street) past Cartwright and Rattray's (Waterlows) had not been
constructed. So the horse drawn buses went up past Flowery Field Church
and down Throstle Bank Street before turning on Dukinfield Road".

Over The River Legal Update
In an effort to keep you updated on developments on the legal front, Christo wanted to let you know that Over The River today filed to intervene in the federal lawsuit that an opposition group, ROAR, filed against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in early 2012.
The complaint filed by ROAR contains several allegations, including that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) analysis conducted by the BLM did not adequately examine or mitigate potential environmental impacts and that it violates the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. It asks the federal court to set aside BLM’s approval of Over The River until the BLM has "fully complied with their obligations under federal law."
Christo feels strongly that the BLM analysis was thorough and complete. It was the first EIS ever conducted on a temporary work of art and includes well over 100 specific measures to mitigate impacts on bighorn sheep, birds, traffic, safety, and much more.
The outcome of this lawsuit is critical to Christo moving forward with the temporary work of art. Because the interests of this project are directly affected by this lawsuit, Christo decided it was in the best interests of Over The River to intervene and join BLM in its defense of the EIS and of its decision to grant the permit last fall.
Christo remains eager to get these legal challenges behind him so he can move forward with realizing Over The River. We will continue to keep you updated on legal developments as they occur.

May 3, 2008 Large percentage of children with no health insurance go without care all year. Nationwide, uninsured children in families earning between $38,000 and $77,000 a year are just as likely to go without any health care as uninsured children in poorer families. More than 40 percent of children in those income brackets who are uninsured all year see no physicians and have no prescriptions all year, according to new research from the University of Rochester Medical Center.
"There's an assumption that children in families with higher income levels don't need insurance, that they are uninsured but are somehow still receiving health care anyway," said Laura Shone, Dr.P.H., M.S.W., an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center and author of the study being presented today at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. "This study shows that in reality, a large percentage of these children don't receive any care at all -- which pediatricians say is unacceptable, and parents know is unrealistic. Even healthy, older children need to see their physicians at least once over the course of a year."
Overall, almost 3 million uninsured children had no medical care and no prescription use for a full year, according to an analysis of nationally representative data from the 2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Of those, about 1.6 million children may qualify for public coverage but are not enrolled, and about 1 million more could be covered through expansions that were proposed yet vetoed at the national level in late 2007. The percentage of uninsured children who forego all health care for a full year is:
- 55 percent at 0 to 100 percent of the federal poverty level ($0 to $19,157 for a family of four)
- 51 percent at 101 to 200 percent of the federal poverty level ($19,158 to $38,314)
- 42 percent at 201 to 300 percent of the federal poverty level ($38,315 to $57,471)
- 44 percent at 301 to 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($57,472 to $76,628)
- 30 percent for those over 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($78,629 and above)
Since 1997, the national State Children's Health Insurance Program has provided health insurance to low-income children who are not eligible for Medicaid and do not have private coverage. Under the federal law, states received grants of federal dollars to help with costs of insurance expansions, and they had several options for how to expand coverage for children using those dollars.
A pediatric research team at the University of Rochester Medical Center has been studying Child Health Plus (New York's state-specific plan beginning in 1991, which in 1997, received federal approval to become the state's SCHIP plan) since its inception. Earlier research by this team has shown that the program greatly increases children's access to primary care, preventive care, as well as other needed health care. SCHIP markedly reduces children's unmet health care needs and reduces pre-existing racial disparities in access, unmet need and continuity of care. Parents of children with asthma and special health care needs were more satisfied and better able to afford care and medications for their child's condition once enrolled.
When the program came up for federal renewal last year, there were several sources of disagreement over whether to expand the program. In addition to debating the potential funding source for the expansion, the executive and legislative branches held different expectations as to how often families would leave private insurance for the public program, particularly at the higher income levels (200 to 400 percent of the federal poverty level).
Congress has extended SCHIP at flat funding, with no expansion. Questions remain about whether current funding will continue to cover those already enrolled. Since expansion was vetoed at the national level, New York's Governor David Paterson has signed state-level proposals to expand Child Health Plus in New York using only state monies. Several other states are considering similar state-level expansions.

Here is a video taken of Michael Woodhouse at a public forum at Otago University in July. He quite clearly states that he is opposed to the Bill in its current form (ie the form that it is in right now). Today, in the Third Reading Michael Woodhouse and other National MPs will vote to pass the Bill into law.
Michael also goes on to assure people that the Bill in its current form won’t pass into law this year. I have heard from other students that is the same commitment they got from other National MPs. This was misleading students and the National MPs should be ashamed of themselves. They heard the evidence at the Select Committee, and they know that tertiary institutions do not want the Bill, the vast majority of other submitters do not want the Bill, but they are still supporting the ideological crusade of their crumbling coalition partner.
Michael also suggests that Labour should promote the ‘opt out’ compromise solution. We did. It was rejected by ACT and National.
So the question for Michael Woodhouse (and other National MPs) is, why will he vote to pass a Bill today that he does not support and that he knows will destroy student services and advocacy?

The division issued nearly 2000 phytosanitary certificates carrying mostly Indiana produced commodities to approximately 80 different nations around the world in addition to separate shipments to United States states, protectorates, and territories.
The division successfully treated nearly 20, 000 acres of Indiana to control gypsy moth. The control efforts were effective and successful. The public was kept informed regarding all aspects of the operation on the DNR Web site, by direct mailings to approximately 30, 000 residents, press releases, and radio and television coverage.
Surveys for exotic pests, conducted throughout the state, resulted in the discovery of several new pest species from Asia and Europe. These pests will be monitored and treated next year. Infested materials were destroyed.
Preliminary surveys have been conducted in northern Indiana for the Emerald Ash Borer, a new pest from Asia which kills ash trees. A large area around Detroit, Michigan, has been infested with this tree killing pest. The division has conducted training for its staff in the Detroit area. Dr. Waltz, division director, served as one of six specialists on the U.S.D.A. Science Panel regarding this pest outbreak.
The division provided information on West Nile Virus and mosquito management to DNR property holding divisions. Dr. Waltz, division director, is privileged to serve on the Governor's West Nile Virus Task Force.
All 550 production nurseries in Indiana were inspected and certified.
Improved services have been provided to the Nursery industry through a nursery pest report that is provided free to any nursery wanting it. The report tells what pests are being found by DNR inspectors in which parts of the state. The data is used to better control the amount of pesticides used and efficacy of treatments for nurseries by knowing more about the biology of the pests.
One of our most successful endeavors during the current biennium was to open the new Indiana State Museum on May 22, 2002. Thanks to many years of hard work and great vision, Indiana has created a permanent showplace for our past and our future. The public and media response and comparative analysis of similar institutions indicates that, in terms of physical plant and quality of exhibits, the new museum is in the top tier of public cultural institutions in the nation.
The state historic sites experienced major changes in 2002. To adjust to their shrinking budget, a comprehensive plan was developed to determine which historic sites might benefit from collaboration or replacement management. To this end, the Col. William Jones site in Gentryville became part of the adjacent Lincoln State Park, where the cultural interpretation is enhanced by the addition of the historic home and log barn. The Mansfield Roller Mill was transferred to the nearby Raccoon State Recreation Area where the management staff had already assumed responsibility for the Mill's operations. In addition, an informal agreement was created with the Scott County Preservation Alliance to oversee the maintenance of the Pigeon Roost State Historic Site.
Negotiations will continue through the 2003-05 biennium to make Historic New Harmony a truly unified program by making all on-site management and staff supervision the responsibility of the director of Historic New Harmony. Changes in the management of the Gene Stratton Porter and Limberlost State Historic Sites are also being examined. The wetlands restoration project at the Limberlost State Historic Site (a little more than 1000 acres) will be transferred to the DNR Division of Nature Preserves early in 2003.
A friends advisory council, consisting of representatives from all historic sites friends groups, was established and quarterly meetings were held. Topics at the meetings ranged from updates on legislative initiatives to advice on operating gift shops.
?Much work was done on a strategic plan with specific objectives for the historic sites, and preliminary marketing research was accomplished for each Site. A new initiative requiring all historic site managers to attend the eleven classes in the Management Training Institute has resulted in more consistent management throughout the sites. Several historic site managers participate on the Board of the Association of Indiana Museums and organized their annual meeting in the new Indiana State Museum Aug. 1 and 2, 2002. The Limberlost State Historic Site emphasized the Indiana Heritage Trust's tenth year anniversary during the site's annual Nature Days Special Event.
The Levi Coffin State Historic Site was in the news several times during the year, culminating in the dedication of the new Historic marker, the first in the Nation to carry the Underground Railroad logo, in October 2002. Angel Mounds experienced the first year in their expanded visitor center, complete with new interactive exhibits.
The Culbertson Mansion in New Albany has undergone a complete exterior restoration, ending this year with new slate roofing and gutters. The demolition and reconstruction of the interior of the Boys and Girls Club in Madison for the Lanier/Madison Visitor Center will be complete in the winter of 2002-03.
Water lines from State Road 46 to the T.C. Steele State Historic Site have been installed in anticipation of the new fire suppression system, to be installed this winter. A greatly enhanced Farmer's Market next to the Old State Bank at the Vincennes State Historic Site promises to offer more collaboration between the community and the site. In addition, the Old Northwest Corporation in Vincennes has agreed to become the friends support group for this site.
Creative problem solving at the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site utilized equipment from the Division of State Parks and Reservoirs as well as the Indiana Department of Transportation to help with the recurring silting problem in the canal.
?Lt. Governor Hospitality Awards honored the President of the Friends of Limberlost, a full time employee at the Corydon State Historic Site and a volunteer at the Grissom Air Museum State Historic Site. Gene Stratton Porter site manager received the state's highest honor of the "Sagamore of the Wabash."
The state historic sites employees are uncommonly dedicated, and turn-over is very rare. With Gene Stratton Porter State Historic site manager Margie Sweeney's retirement and the death of the Vincennes State Historic Site manager and southwest regional supervisor Bill Menke, the loss is deeply felt.
The historic sites Administrative staff (director, deputy director and chief of interpretation and education) culled files, archived documents, and moved their offices into the new Indiana State Museum in February of 2002.

Rehabilitation work has been completed on an existing building which was converted into a park office and service area.
- Federal grants totaling $2,650,000 were awarded to DNR under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) program. These grants were awarded for projects at Prophetstown State Park (bicycle trail), Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area (renovation of historic iron bridge), Wyandotte Woods State Recreation Area (renovation of historic hay press), and Cataract Falls Recreation Area/Brown County State Park (renovation of covered bridges).
- Federal grant for $382,000 was awarded to DNR for renovation work on four covered bridges located at Cataract Falls State Recreation Area, Brown County State Park, Shades State Park, and Turkey Run State Park.
- Six mechanical wastewater treatment plants were replaced with constructed wetlands. These wetlands utilize natural processes to treat the wastewater with minimal maintenance and low power usage.
- Major repairs and upgrades to the Whitewater Lake Dam, at Whitewater State Park, were completed. The upgrades increased the ability of the spillway to safely handle large storms, bringing it up to current dam safety standards.
- Major renovation work to Canyon Inn, at McCormick’s Creek State Park, was completed. The work involved major improvements to the building mechanical/electrical systems, as well as improvements to public areas of the inn.
- New or expanded nature centers were completed at Mounds State Park and Salamonie Reservoir. The nature center at Salamonie Reservoir is open to the public, while the nature center at Mounds will open in spring of 2003.
- The campground electrical system at Tippecanoe River State Park was upgraded to provide better electrical service at each camp site, and bring the facility up to current electrical safety standards.
- The Division of Fish and Wildlife launched on-line hunting and fishing licensing earlier in the year. Hunters and anglers purchased 14,230 licenses via the service in 2002.
- Indiana’s public access crew developed innovative new designs for providing physically challenged sportsmen and women a way to board boats more easily at access sites. Boat wells and shoreline platforms designs are working well and may become models for use throughout the state and country.
- Seven state records were broken this year for catches of the largest muskellunge, walleye, hybrid striped bass, warmouth, buffalo, longnose gar, and grass carp. Management of the first three species in public waters by state fisheries professionals has developed excellent fisheries that are gaining notoriety regionally and in national fishing periodicals.
- Fish and Wildlife Properties hosted more than 91,000 hunters:
Small Game 28,129
- DNR wildlife biologists worked with private landowners to create Wildlife habitat on 2,500 acres enrolled in the Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP) during 2002, utilizing $262,000 in Farm Bill funds.
- Wildlife habitat on 78,000 acres enrolled in Indiana's classified wildlife habitat program.
- Wildlife habitat on 1,508 acres through DNR's wildlife habitat cost-share program. Total cost of habitat development was $137,568 with $68,237 being provided through the program.
- The Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Board of Animal Health geared up to test the non-domestic cervid population for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). More than 3,000 white-tailed deer heads were collected statewide for CWD testing.
- The Grand Kankakee Marsh Restoration project reported 143 acres acquired and 183.5 acres restored. The South West Indiana Four Rivers Project reported 2,068 acres acquired, 874 acres restored and 142 acres enhanced. Funding included $650,000 from state funds, and approximately $195,000 in private organization funds.
- Harvest data from the 2002 spring wild turkey season indicates a record harvest for the 33rd year with 10,575 birds harvested from 80 of the 90 counties open to hunting.
- More than 103,000 deer were legally harvested in Indiana during 2001. This harvest was a 4 percent increase from the 98,725 deer harvested during 2000. Compared to 2000, the antlered buck harvest of 48,357 represented an 8 percent increase from last year, and the anterless harvest of 54,806 was up 1 percent. The increase in harvest can be attributed to the division's effort from 1994 - 1997 to reduce the statewide deer population and the effort in 1998 - 2000 to begin stabilizing the population by slightly reducing anterless harvest.
- DNR officials initiated the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration (WCRP Grant program) which will provide the Department with access to $800,000 of WCRP funding and $1.3 million of State Wildlife Grant funding for species most in need of conservation.
- Fish and Wildlife biologists partnered with Nature Preserves to develop competitive grant applications totaling more than $3 million. These grants, which are based on the Landowner Incentive Program and Endangered Species Habitat Conservation Program, will be used to benefit a wide range of species, especially those rare species most in need of conservation.
- Indiana stocked 224,797 coho salmon and 253,000 chinook salmon into Lake Michigan waters in response to the state anglers requests to alter state stocking priorities. Eggs for these species are received from Michigan in an annual trade for other fish that Indiana produces.
- The department completed the first phase of the fish community restoration and monitoring effort in the zone affected by the 1999 White River fish kill. More than 295,000 fish were stocked in 2002. Nearly 960,000 fish have been stocked since the kill.
- A major fisheries renovation was completed at 358-acre Waveland Lake in Parke and Montgomery counties, removing the dominant shad and restoring the future for quality bluegill fishing in those waters.
- Indiana state biologists and Purdue University veterinarians joined other states in tracking the incidence and impact of a new fish disease, largemouth bass virus, in several lakes in northern Indiana.
- Construction is well underway on the Leavenworth-Lang-Cole Hay Press Barn project at Wyandotte Woods SRA, and the project completion date is early 2003. This project is funded in large part by a TEA-21 Enhancement Grant from the Federal Highway Administration.
- The Community and Urban Forestry (CUF) Program coordinated the Festival of Growth at the Governor's residence. Approximately 500 people attended. CUF staff developed and introduced the new Urban Forestry Inventory Program to Indiana cities and towns. The computerized program allows users to inventory and assess urban forest trees and other urban forest management features.
- Between February and May of 2002 the Division of Forestry conducted eleven (11) open houses, one on each of the state forest complexes. Each property prepared displays (stations) covering the following areas of interest: Recreation Management, Resource Management, Land Management, Community Affairs, Property Direction and Staffing/Budget/Revenues. Attendance at the open houses varied from a low of 22 to a high of 121. A total of 581 people registered at the open houses and a total of 174 comment sheets containing 231 total comments were received.
- Forestry mobilized 210 people to assist in the suppression of the catastrophic western fires. The US Forest Service reimburses 100 percent of the cost.
- The Division of Forestry's sale of tree seedlings continues to be a popular conservation program. More than five million tree seedlings of 50 species (mostly hardwood) are planted annually for timber, windbreaks, wildlife food and habitat, watershed and soil protection, reclamation and education.
- The continued containment of the forest Gypsy moth pest to a geographic band in northern Indiana continues to be a success story. Gypsy moth is a non-native pest that is advancing into Indiana from the northeast. The caterpillars feed on the foliage of many host plants-oaks are the preferred species but most other tree and shrub species will be defoliated in the absence of oaks. Gypsy moth has defoliated millions of acres of forest in the northeastern US and caused extensive mortality.
- The Classified Forest program (I 6-1.1-6) provides incentives for owners to retain and manage forestlands and now surpasses an enrollment of 420,000 acres (>11 percent of Indiana's private forestlands) and 8,000 landowners. These lands provide all the benefits of forested land directly to landowners and indirectly to all citizens of the state.
- A DNR Team, consisting of personnel from the Divisions of Forestry, Water, Soil Conservation, Engineering and State Parks and Reservoirs successfully breached Shaw Lake in Yellowwood State Forest. This was a small isolated lake that was found to have safety deficiencies and to be a hazard to downstream residents. Estimated cost of repair was in excess of $400,000, and the breach was completed at a small fraction of this cost.
- The Forest Legacy program provides long-term forest protection through the use of conservation easements. Indiana has protected an additional 1,600 acres through the Forest Legacy program in 2002 and received a $1.1 million federal grant to extend this protection to an additional 1,600 acres.
- The Division of Forestry received a $587,250 grant from the Fish & Wildlife Service to begin development of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Indiana bat on Indiana state forests. The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) is one of only two federally endangered mammals found in Indiana. This plan is to encompass Indiana's state forest system, which includes approximately 150,000 acres statewide. State forests provide large wooded areas that serve as summer habitat and also have caves in which a large proportion of endangered Indiana bats hibernate. These caves are considered essential to the continued survival of the species. The proposed HCP will be the first to address Indiana bat management concerns on an actively managed forest, providing a positive model for other states and forest managers. It is expected that the development of the HCP will take up to 3 years to complete. Once completed, the HCP has the potential to benefit more than 30 other state-listed or special concern species, which also use similar portions of Indiana's state forest system.
- While there are early indications that the amount of forestland in Indiana is on the decline, for the first time since the 1920s there is encouraging news that an increasing number of Indiana's forest owners are helping conserve the forests which remain. Indiana's private forestland assistance programs focus on establishing new forests, retaining existing forests and increasing stewardship and restoration practices on those lands.
Nature Preserve Dedications - Eight nature preserves were dedicated in 2002. They include Alum Creek Hollow in Clark State Forest; Shroeder’s Fern Cove, Clark County; McCormick’s Cove, in McCormick’s Creek State Park; The Narrows, Harrison County; Buddha Karst, Lawrence County; Stout Woods, Henry County; Chelsea Flatwoods, Jefferson County; and Bluffs of Beaver Bend, Martin County. Indiana's nature preserve system now consists of 189 nature preserves, encompassing 25,881 acres.
Public Access - A new parking lot and trail were installed at Big Walnut Nature Preserve, Putnam County, providing an excellent opportunity for hikers and nature lovers to visit this high quality natural area. In cooperation with the Fulton County Parks Department, a parking lot and trail were installed at the Judy Burton Nature Preserve on Lake Manitou. The trail traverses through upland fields, shoreline lake overlooks, and islands in the wetland system.
Public Dedications - Public ceremonies celebrating the protection of several areas by partnerships matching use of Heritage Trust funding were held at Coulter Sand Prairie, Porter County, Granville Sand Barrens, Tippecanoe County, and Little Calumet Headwaters (Camp Red Mill), LaPorte County.
Invasives - Biological control of purple loosestrife is proving to be effective, and its use continues to spread. In addition to the existing biocontrol insects, a new insect that feeds on loosestrife flowers was released in 2002. Biological controls are being researched for possible future use against garlic mustard and perhaps other invasives. The regional ecologists continue to employ techniques to reclaim areas contaminated by invasives. The division is an active participant in the Invasive Plant Species Assessment Working Group.
Endangered Species Coordinators’ Conference - The DNR (Nature Preserves, and Fish and Wildlife's Nongame Program) hosted eight midwestern states and the US Fish and Wildlife Service in sessions concerned with funding and conservation of endangered species.
Office Automation/Streamlining - In order to compensate for the loss of the division's clerical staff, and to economize, phones were automated, and procurement and payroll functions were shared with the Division of Outdoor Recreation.
Ginseng - In 2001, 52 ginseng dealers certified 7,048.7 pounds of ginseng, valued at $1.5 million, for export from Indiana.
Public Relations - Staff gave 28 talks, presentations, and hikes to a variety of organizations, agencies, and school groups. Articles and papers were written for Outdoor Indiana and the Academy of Science, we provided a display at the State Fair, and updated/improved our web site.
Reviews/Permits - Staff reviewed 312 public lake dockets, 528 DNR early coordinations, 21 coal permits, and 136 water dockets. Sixty-one collecting and research permits were issued.
Monitoring - Vegetation was assessed for deer browse damage at numerous State Parks and Nature Preserves, several deer exclosures were installed, Kramer Woods was completely censused as a 10 year follow-up to the original work done by Dr. Damien Schmelz, rare plants were monitored at a number of preserves, and loosestrife plots were assessed to measure the effectiveness of the biocontrol.
Management - A controlled deer hunt was held at Twin Swamps Nature Preserve, Posey County. Division staff, with help from others, conducted prescribed burns were conducted at 16 nature preserves (625 acres). Contractors burned an additional four burns.
Inventory - A number of rare plant locations were found. Some of the discoveries include Oklahoma sedge, believed to be extirpated, Hall's bullrush, under consideration for federal listing, and frogbit, new to Indiana. Insect surveys were conducted at a number of preserves. Staff completed rare plant surveys and invasive plant surveys on the Hoosier National Forest.
Ongoing Projects and Partnerships
Division staff continue to be actively involved in a number of projects and partnerships, including: Little Calumet River floodplain mitigation, Grand calumet River NRDA, Integrated Bird Conservation Planning Group, three North American Waterfowl Conservation Act projects, White River restoration, IUPUI student service learning.
The division has received several grants, totaling $700,000, to conduct restoration, through the Coastal Program, State Wildlife Grants, and GLNPO. Grant proposals totaling $1.7 million were prepared and submitted for funding from the USFWS Landowner Incentive Program.
Elkhart County completed acquisition of lands adjacent to Elkhart Bog, in conjunction with a FONSI agreement.
Boundary disputes at Beaver Lake (Newton County) and Moraine (Porter County) Nature Preserves continue to be in need of legal resolution. Tornados damaged Chamberlain Lake NP and Beanblossom Bottoms NP.
- During 2002 the division began implementation of a new Annual Well Fee and Bonding program. The program is expected to raise approximately $200,000 annually in dedicated funds for the closure of orphaned wellsites in Indiana.
- During the USEPA's last evaluation of the division's Underground Injection Control (UIC) program in December 2000 the division was cited as having "one of the best well-managed and most effective Class II UIC programs in the region, and perhaps the nation."
- During 2002 the division implemented an electronic field data collection system that utilizes PDA technology in place of paper forms for inspections, well tests and enforcement actions.
- The division successfully developed a partnership program with the Indiana Oil and Gas Association to plug orphaned wells. This program was responsible for the closure of more than 40 wells during 2002 resulting in a savings to the state of about $202,000
- In late 2000 the division finalized rules and procedures governing the management of oil and saltwater spills from facilities regulated by the division. This rule was developed in consultation with the Department of Environmental Management and represented a major step forward in the management of spills.
- The total number of enforcement actions has declined over the past 2 years by nearly 50 percent as a result of more pro-active compliance measures such as prior notifications of upcoming well tests due and updated well temporary abandonment rules. At the same time, penalty collections have increased from 19 percent of assessed amounts in 2000 to more than 33 percent in 2002.
Significant items/ events/ statistics
- Natural gas activity continues to expand in the New Albany shale region of south central Indiana. Since 2001 the division has issued 77 permits for gas drilling in the New Albany. This is an increase of more than 300 percent during the previous 2-year period. During the past 3 years overall gas production has increased by more than 17 percent and now stands at more than 1 billion cubic feet per year.
- The use of horizontal drilling technology is increasing substantially in Indiana and represents a major step forward in the development of natural gas reserves. This technology also benefits the environment by limiting the surface impacts of drilling.
- During 2002 the division conducted/ witnessed the following activities related to Class II injection wells:
1373 site inspections
252 mechanical integrity tests
153 reviews of existing wells
31 reviews of applications for permits
The division completed a Strategic Plan.

- Researching, designing, bidding and bringing into operation, a Centralized Reservation System for camping, shelters and cabins at state parks, reservoirs and forests. This included establishing business rules, measuring and classifying nearly 8,000 campsites and researching the experience of other states and then adapting the best elements of their systems for our needs.
- Instituting the first significant fee increases since 1989. The State Parks operating budget had become increasingly dependent on general fund dollars to meet operating expenses. Increasing the revenue pool, along with budget reductions, has significantly reduced the general fund share for both parks and reservoirs operating budgets.
- Initiating strategic planning process for the division. The division mission, vision, values and goals were finalized.
All properties completed an on-site strategic planning process resulting in property mission statements, visions, values, goals and objectives.
- Internet connectivity was greatly improved with the installation of 38 Satellite dishes at all state park and reservoir offices and some nature centers and service areas. Many phone lines and internet service providers were able to be canceled giving us the money needed to install the satellites.
- We procured and installed 56 new Gateway computers for the central office and field locations.
- We received 50 computers from INDOT that were used in the field to replace our aging Macintosh and older PCs in the field.
- Phone systems were installed at Lieber State Recreation Area, Summit Lake State Park, and Huntington Lake. Voicemail was installed at Lake Monroe. These were systems that were given to us by the Department of Health. Savings of about $9,000 were realized because we reused this equipment from other state agencies.
- Indiana hosted the 2001 Midwest State Parks Executive Association Conference. Nine
- We decentralized the response to unemployment claims from our central office to the properties. This enables DNR management to challenge claims in a timely manner and cut cost to the state.
- We identified the properties to be included in the state park deer herd reduction in time to include it in the annual Hunting Guide published by the Fish and Wildlife Division.
- The last review and completion of the plans for phase one construction at Prophetstown State Park will be complete by the end of the year and ready to bid.
State Park Inns
- Seven high speed satellite dishes were installed at the inns to give them connectivity in preparation for the new reservation system.
- All seven inns have been converted from the old RDP software to the new Room Master software. This gives us more features and is easier to use than the old software.

- Completed the renovation project at Canyon Inn. This included adding fire sprinklers and other major infrastructure work. The main lounge and lobby were rehabbed and additional guest rooms were made accessible.
- Completed the second cabin suite at Potawatomi Inn. This involved taking an existing four-room cabin and reconfiguring it into a duplex with suites that have a living and dining area and a bedroom
- New custom buffet units were designed, fabricated and installed at three inns. All inns purchased blast chillers and most replaced their guest area ice machines.
- Turkey Run Inn assumed campstore operation. This is more profitable than operating as a concession site and allows for more efficient and timely purchase of goods for resale.
- Spring Mill Inn operated the cave boat tour program with a grant from Lawrence County Tourism. This was one of the programs which was scheduled to be suspended as part of the budget cuts.
- Potawatomi Inn operated the entire boat rental concession at Pokagon which allowed for increased operating hours and a wider variety of services.
- Potawatomi will now operate the cross country ski operation at Pokagon
- Assisted in the stocking and opening of the Mansfield country store and the purchase of Shakamak cabin furnishings

Farm Progress Show
Indiana Conservation Partnership personnel participated in this 3-state on-farm show. Visually reaching approximately 25,000 people, the Partnership's watershed education component of the show resulted in more than 100 well water tests. Jim Moseley, U.S.D.A. deputy secretary, stated, "This is the best example of showing conservation tillage and erosion control I've ever seen."
Pathway to Water Quality at the Indiana State Fair
The Pathway to Water Quality, designed to demonstrate water quality conservation practices in seven different areas including urban, animal agriculture, woodland, highly erodible cropland, wetlands, soils, and youth education, reaches more than 22,000 visitors to the Indiana State Fair.
Conservation Tillage Transect Data
The Indiana Conservation Partnership statistically tracks conservation tillage and cropland use in Indiana. The 2002 survey revealed that 21 percent of corn and 56 percent of soybeans were planted in no-till fields in the 88 counties surveyed. This is a prime indicator of soil erosion control.
Basic Training for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors
Many new SWCD supervisors are unfamiliar with their duties, the responsibilities of districts according to State law, and the role of the members of the Indiana Conservation Partnership. In 2002, the DNR/Purdue Conservation Program Specialists and the NRCS Assistant State Conservationists conducted six statewide basic training workshops for new supervisors.
Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor (SWCD) Summer Splash
More than 200 SWCD and Indiana Conservation Partnership personnel attended the 2002 Supervisor Summer Splash. The 2-day workshop creates awareness in SWCD Supervisors upcoming soil and water conservation challenges and opportunities.
Annual Conference of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs)
Based on the theme "Enhancing Quality of Life in the New Economy," the 2002 Annual Conference of SWCDs helped supervisors and staff better understand their roles in preserving Indiana's rural character. More than 600 people attended the 3-day event held at the Westin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
Hoosier Riverwatch Training Workshops
Hoosier Riverwatch coordinators teach adult educators and citizen volunteers about watersheds, point and nonpoint source water pollution, and pollution reduction methods by means of six to seven-hour training workshops held throughout Indiana. In addition, participants learn to assess habitat, chemical, and biological conditions in streams and rivers using standardized protocols. In 2001, Hoosier Riverwatch conducted 52 full-day workshops and trained 550 volunteer stream monitors.
Project WET Workshops
More than 500 people participated in 25 Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) workshops held throughout Indiana. Of these participants, 30 percent acknowledged that they impacted more than 46,000 students annually with water education activities. Participants were from more than 60 counties and several other states. Trained, skilled, volunteer facilitators conducted these workshops. In addition, an estimated 10,000 children and adults participated in "Make a Splash" with Project WET water education days at more than 40 sites.
Stormwater and Sediment Control Program
Addressing soil erosion/sedimentation concerns associated with non-agricultural lands, including residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and public construction activities and special land uses, the Stormwater and Sediment Control Program provided technical assistance in the review and revision of 796 erosion and sediment control plans, conducted more than 2500 site evaluations, conducted 72 educational programs for private and governmental sectors, and coordinated with IDEM on implementation of 327 IAC 15-5 (Rule 5), a state regulation aimed at minimizing off-site damages from construction site erosion and sedimentation resulting in 137 permits referred to compliance and/or enforcement and follow-up.
Lake and River Enhancement Program (LARE)
$5 boat fees generate approximately $1.2 million annually that is distributed statewide as grants for evaluatory ecological studies of lakes and streams, engineering and construction of ecological remediation measures, and watershed-based soil and water conservation projects.
As part of ongoing implementation of the Indiana Wetlands Conservation Plan, its outreach component was pursued through dissemination of wetlands newsletters, development and presentation of relevant materials at citizen workshops, and facilitation of a statewide wetlands conference.
Agricultural Conservation Program
Working to reduce erosion on agricultural land, along with associated nutrient transport, the division's six agricultural conservation specialists approved 239 of 250 conservation plans and provided technical assistance to 104 watershed projects and surveyed or assisted in the design of 383 projects.

Lake Michigan Coastal Program
On Sept. 20, 2002, Indiana celebrated the approval of the Lake Michigan Coastal Program by the national Coastal Zone Management Program. Indiana is now the 34th state and territory participating in this highly successful program to improve management of our nation's coasts. The Lake Michigan Coastal Program will receive approximately $1 million annually for implementation. The program will primarily be implemented through the Coastal Grants Program, which will provide funding for local projects to protect, restore, and responsibly develop coastal resources in the Lake Michigan watershed.
A new Dam Safety Act (IC 14-27-7.5) became law. The new law requires owners of high hazard dams to "have a professional engineer licensed under IC 25-31 make a technical inspection of the high hazard structure and prepare or revise the emergency action plan for the structure at least one (1) time every two (2) years".
A multi-agency team responded to an emergency involving a high hazard dam at Fontanet, Vigo County. Staff from the divisions of Water, Law Enforcement, and Reclamation cooperated with the Attorney General's Office and Vigo County authorities to conduct a controlled breach and lower the lake level.
Staff responded to an emergency at Brush Creek Dam. A contract was let to install a riser pipe to the existing lake drain. The new riser pipe would allow the reservoir water level to fall 10 feet below normal pool level. A second riser pipe will also be installed to allow water releases when the reservoir is below the opening for the upper riser.
Staff helped local communities affected by two Federal Disaster Declarations, one for flooding and one for tornado damage, comply with their floodplain regulations.
Staff cooperated with representatives from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACED) to draft the General Guidelines for the Hydrologic-Hydraulic Assessment of Floodplains in Indiana (online). These guidelines will help floodplain management professionals evaluate projects in accordance with the Flood Control Act and the National Flood Insurance Program.
Staff initiated a program to generate Flood way / Flood Boundary Studies for areas of Indiana that lack floodplain analysis. These studies will help local floodplain officials, and Division staff, make easier and more accurate decisions regarding potential development in and around a floodplain. New studies were completed for the following areas:
- West Fork White River in Spencer, Owen County
- Plum Run in Clarksburg, Clark County
- Sweet Creek / West Little Sugar Creek, Shelby County
- Staff completed a comprehensive ground water report for the White and West Fork White River Basin. The report contains 118 pages and 35 plates / maps. There are 5,600 square miles in the WFWR Basin — 15 percent of Indiana's land area.
- Staff created the Indiana Water Resource Update Web page, which provides monthly water resource status updates for the State (online).
- A reorganization plan for the Ground Water, Basin Studies, and Water Rights Sections was developed internally, and approved by the Executive Office. Existing staff was reassigned to two new Sections (Resource Assessment and Water Rights / Use). The new structure should eliminate overlapping tasks identified in the prior organization.
- An SEA 368 Inspection Form was created in cooperation with County Surveyors. The form will help local drainage boards / surveyors comply with the SEA 368 requirements, and reduce DNR's review time.
Database Improvements, Additions
- Staff designed the Geographical Research for Internal Data (GRID) GIS research tool, which has dramatically reduced the research time required for new permit applications. Staff can now conduct a digital search for local information using a map of Indiana, rather than searching through paper files.
- The Division of Water was named as a semi-finalist for the Council of State Governments America's Best Innovations award. The honor recognizes the division's efforts in reorganization / restructuring, and development of the Unity Database.

Football Weekend Wrap-Up - October 27
Columbia 26, Yale 22
NEW YORK -- The last time Columbia defeated Yale in football, the current seniors on the Columbia football team were 10 years old. But Patricia and Shepard Alexander Head Coach of Football has said since his initial press conference last December, this Columbia football team would leave the past behind. While rebuilding is a process, the team showed fight, toughness and grit, shedding the past and defeating Yale for the first time since 2001, 26-22, on Saturday at Robert K. Kraft Field.
Cornell 37, Princeton 35 [TIME
ITHACA, N.Y. -- John Wells was able to walk off the field a hero. Wells, who earlier in the day had missed both a field goal and an extra-point kick that looked like it might be the difference in the game late into the fourth quarter, drilled a 23-yard attempt with 50 seconds left in the game to give Cornell a 37-35 shootout victory over Princeton on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field.
Penn 20, Brown 17
PHILADELPHIA -- Sophomore kicker Connor Loftus connected on two field goals in the final 1:25 of play - the first from a career-long 45 yards to tie the game, the second from 30 yards out with 17 seconds to play - as the University of Pennsylvania football team downed Brown, 20-17, in front of an ecstatic Homecoming crowd of 13,569 at Franklin Field Saturday afternoon.
Harvard 31, Dartmouth 14
HANOVER, N.H. -- Treavor Scales rushed for three touchdowns as 24th-ranked Harvard held off Dartmouth by a score of 31-14 Saturday night at Memorial Field.
