Subject: HTML: Jim Lord's Pentagon Y2K Papers (URLs/Yourdon/Davis/Lord Email/Wash.Post)
The big news today is of course Jim Lord's new web site which hosts the Pentagon Y2K Papers. Below is links to a bunch of threads on the topic, a Washington Post Article on it, Ed Yourdon's comments, two emails from Jim Lord to me on the topic, as well as commentary by Steve Davis which reportedly includes comments by John Koskinen (I believe Steve is being straight on what he's hearing from Koskinen).
Decide for yourself. I'm anxious to see of Lord posts the unaltered full copy of the August update of the Navy report and if people (perhaps journalists) through FOIA requests (see http://184.108.40.206/FOIARequest.html) get similar reports from the Army or Air Force.

Navy Predicts Widespread Y2K Failure
By Ted Bridis Associated Press Writer Thursday, August 19, 1999; 7:27 p.m. EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Navy report predicts ``probable'' or ``likely'' failures in electrical and water systems for many cities because of the Year 2000 technology problem -- an assessment more dire than any other made by the government.
President Clinton's top Y2K adviser, John Koskinen, called the Navy's conclusions overly cautious, saying they assumed that major utilities would fail unless proved otherwise.
The most recent version of the study, updated less than two weeks ago, predicted ``probable'' or ``likely'' partial failures in electric utilities that serve nearly 60 of roughly 400 Navy and Marine Corps facilities.
The study predicted ``likely'' partial electrical failures, for example, at facilities in Orlando, Fla.; Gulfport, Miss.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; and nine other small- to mid-size cities.
It also predicted ``probable'' partial water system failures in Dallas; Nashville, Tenn.; Houston; Baton Rouge, La.; Montgomery, Ala; Tulsa, Okla.; and 59 other cities.
The study forecast likely partial natural gas failures -- in the middle of winter -- in Albany, N.Y.; Fort Worth, Texas; Pensacola, Fla.; Charleston, S.C.; Columbus, Ohio; and Nashville.
The military report contrasts sharply with predictions from the White House, which weeks ago said in a report that national electrical failures are ``highly unlikely.'' The White House report also said disruptions in water service from the date rollover are ``increasingly unlikely.''
Koskinen, who vouched for the authenticity of the Navy report, noted that all its worst-case predictions for failures were marked as ``interim'' or ``partial'' assessments.
``It's not nearly as interesting as the world coming to an end,'' said Koskinen. ``The way they worked was, until you have information for contingency planning purposes, you ought to assume there was a problem.''
The Year 2000 problem occurs because some computer programs, especially older ones, might fail when the date changes to 2000. Because the programs were written to recognize only the last two digits of a year, such programs could read the digits ``00'' as 1900 instead of 2000, potentially causing problems with financial transactions, airline schedules and electrical grids.
The Navy report was first summarized on an Internet site run by Jim Lord, a Y2K author, who said he obtained it ``from a confidential source of the highest reliability and integrity.''
``The military has to work from the worst case, but so do we,'' Lord told The Associated Press on Thursday. ``It's reprehensible for them to know this and keep it from us.''
Koskinen said the Navy wasn't withholding information from anyone, noting that the continually updated report was available until recently on a Web site maintained by the Defense Department.
``The last people in the world the department is going to keep information from is their own people,'' Koskinen said. ``In fact, the whole purpose of the exercise is to make sure they can provide appropriate information to servicemen on their bases and their families.
The report was pulled off the Web site two weeks, Koskinen said. Neither he nor Defense Department officials offered any reason why.

Hi Roleigh,
Urgent update for you.
An AP reporter (Ted Bridis) heard me on the radio this morning, got a copy of my report and took it straight to Koskinen who verified its authenticity. The reporter was given a copy of the latest version of the report dated Aug
4th. I have not had time to review.
Key point. The report has been validated by the government.
Now we will get to watch them spin it.

Subject: "The Pentagon Papers of Y2K" by Jim Lord, August 18, 1999
Dear Friends,
This is a rare Y2K item that is a must read. Ignore it at the peril of you, your family and your friends!
Jim Lord's words ( below ) express my sentiments better than I ( at this moment ). I had the honor of chatting with Jim for only an hour while we were in Indiana in the fall of 1997. Although sparse, I have maintained e-mail contact with him on salient Y2K issues and information. He is affable, knowledgeable, honorable and forthright.
Essentially, U.S. military organizations are fully aware of the anticipated scope and depth of the pending Y2K catastrophe. They are not or are unable to disclose their findings to the public. However, we are a fortunate people, in that our Armed Forces do not depend on political and corporate spin-doctors in matters concerning due diligence performing their U.S. Constitutional missions.
The information in "The Pentagon Papers of Y2K" speaks to _only_ cities in close proximity to U.S. Navy and Marine bases throughout the world. Based on my 33+ years of experience in the IT field--the last
2 years on Y2K projects--it is my contention that this article is essentially a global snapshot of what we should anticipate in the wake
of Y2K-related failures.
I have included ( below ) the first portion of Jim's report and biographical information he included at the end of the report. You may also visit his web site < http://www.JimLord.to > to download the entire report in Word document format.
Keep in mind that Jim is possibly putting his Naval Officer Commission, as well as his son's Navy career, on the line by publishing this report. ( A Y2K "Cassandra" gets no respect! )
I wish to personally thank Jim Lord for his relentless and honorable efforts disseminating Y2K information to the general public.
Please disseminate this report as far and wide as possible!
Regards, Bob Mangus

The Pentagon Papers of Y2K
Cities At Risk From The Year 2000 Computer Crisis
By Jim Lord

Expanded information is available at www.JimLord.to
Secret Government Study Reveals Massive Y2K Problems in American Cities
How many days could New York City survive without water and sewer services?
How long would it take to evacuate eight million people in the dead of winter? Would thousands die in the process? Tens of thousands? More?
When would the rioting and looting begin? How many National Guard troops would it take to control the largest city in the nation? What unthinkable devastation would be wrought on the global financial system? How might our enemies seize on the ensuing panic and confusion?
Are these the crazed speculations of a Y2K alarmist? Not if you know what the US Navy and Marine Corps know. According to a June 1999 report titled, "Master Utility List," they believe "total failure is likely" for New York City's water and sewer systems because of Y2K problems.
And they're holding this information back.
The Navy Department assessment is not limited to New York City; it covers all their shore facilities in the world-nearly 500 locations. The results are horrifying. They expect more than 26 million American citizens in 125 cities to be without electricity, water, gas or sewer services next January. Many more would be affected in foreign countries. London, England for example is expected to experience failures of all four types of utilities.
Many of the people impacted by these failures would be military personnel and their families.
And the Navy Department isn't telling anyone.
Forty-five of the cities named in the survey have population greater than 100,000. Eight of the nation's dozen largest metropolitan areas are affected. Here's what the Navy expects:
7 Dallas-no water.
7 Washington DC and Philadelphia-no gas
7 Baltimore, Houston, New York and Miami--no water or sewer.
7 Atlanta-no water or gas
7 San Antonio-no water or electricity.
7 Fort Worth and New Orleans-no water, gas or sewer services.
And the Navy Department is saying nothing.
Cities at Risk
The information presented below is based on a US Navy/Marine Corps survey dated June 1999. The survey was conducted to determine the risk of utility failures at military facilities worldwide. Only United States information is shown

Ed Yourdon on the Pentagon Y2K Papers:
Like most of the people on this forum (and several other forums), I've read all of the postings about Jim Lord's "Pentagon Papers" with great interest and deep concern. A number of excellent points have already been made on this thread; here are a few of my own observations:
1. Credibility of the players: I've met Lord and Koskinen in person, and I know Steve Davis from numerous email exchanges over the past
couple of years. I respect the intelligence, sincerity, and integrity of all them; whether they turn out to be right or wrong, I think they all truly believe what they're saying to us -- which is in stark contrast to what I see in the day-to-day business world, where the "rules" of competitive behavior rarely require anything more than a surface-level pretense of sincerity. Nevertheless, the "bottom line" for me is that I would only trust the safety of my family to someone that I've known long enough to have gone through one or more life-and-death crises, in order to have a true sense of how they react under such circumstances. In a few rare cases, that might happen in a new friendship; but in most cases, it only happens after I've known someone 5, 10, or 15 years. For better or worse, I have to say that I don't know Lord, Koskinen, Davis, or many of the other Y2K "notables" well enough to warrant quite that level of trust, which means that I always have to remind myself to take everything they say with a small grain of salt. For many people, discussions like this are great for cocktail parties, but have no relevance in the "real" world; for people who really do think Y2K could pose life-and-death threats, it goes beyond idle cocktail chitter-chatter. Thus, I think one of the questions some of us have to ask ourselves after reading Lord's material, or Koskinen's rebuttal, or any of the related commentaries, is: sounds good, but would I entrust the safety of my spouse and my kids to this person, based on this information?
2. Authenticity of the Navy document: when I first read Jim's material, I was worried about this. Now I'm not -- it appears that Mr.
Koskinen has publicly acknowledged that the original document did exist, and was published on a quasi-public web site at some relatively recent point in time.
3. Accuracy and timeliness of the Navy document, as compared to other quasi-official statements about Y2K readiness: bottom line is that
nobody knows. Unless and until a more recent document appears from the same naval group, I don't see how we can reject this one as anything less than the "best guess" of at least one group within the Navy. It does seem to contradict the statement issued by Navy brass to their own personnel, but I don't think that necessarily proves that either document is right or wrong.
4. Should it have been released publicly? Obviously, Lord feels the answer is "yes," and Koskinen implies that the answer is "no." I was
intrigued to see that Steve Davis seems to have sided with Koskinen on this one. My reaction on this one is entirely selfish, personal, and emotional: if the government is suggesting that the "public" is not entitled to know certain preliminary drafts of the Y2K situation, then I have to assume that I'm going to be included as part of that amorphous "public." It's all very interesting argue, in an abstract and academic sense, about whether John Q. Public is smart enough, mature enough, responsible enough, and experienced enough to be able to handle scary information. But what about you? What about me? And what are the credentials of those who apparently feel they have the God-given right to make such decisions? As noted above, I respect the intelligence, sincerity, and integrity of Lord, Koskinen, and Davis -- but I don't think they're sufficiently smarter, wiser, and purer than me to decide how what information I should be allowed to see, and what I shouldn't be allowed to see. I understand the notion that there may be people roaming the streets with an IQ of 76 who might do harm to themselves if provided access to scary information about Y2K; and in theory, I understand the concern that if the general public was given raw, unadulterated access to Y2K information, they might stampede and head for the banks to withdraw their money. These are serious issues, and I enjoy having a serious intellectual discussion about them ... but when I realize that, by virtue of not being a member of the political elite, I would end up being thrown into the same heap as the IQ-76 folks and the bank-run lemmings, I get very nervous about the possibility that my life is being manipulated. (For whatever it's worth, I would be just as nervous if someone told me that I would be allowed to be a member of the political elite if I would just keep my mouth shut; I don't like the idea of pulling the strings that control another person's life either).
5. Why do we have to "prove" anything about Lord's document anyway? The American system of justice assume that someone (including an
individual, corporation, or any other entity) is innocent until proven guilty; even OJ got the benefit of that assumption. On that basis, the private-sector organizations and the government agencies are "innocent" of Y2K bugs until proven guilty; and on that basis, we would have to "prove" that the allegations in Lord's document were accurate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, before we did anything about them. But I think that Y2K is a classic case of safety-critical "auditing" in which one reverses the assumption: we should assume that computer systems, embedded systems, and the organizations that depend upon those systems, to be guilty until proven innocent. Organizations like FAA give lip service to this concept when they tell us that they would never compromise the public's safety with their air-traffic control systems ... but unless every FAA employee put every member of his/her immediate family on a New Year's Eve flight (not just Jane Garvey, John Koskinen, and the born-again optimist Peter de Jager), I'm not sure I trust their sincerity. As a practical matter, I don't think we're going to see any serious Y2K laws or regulations based on this principle -- but it does govern a lot of my thinking. Thus, for me the burden of proof is not on Jim Lord and his supporters to prove that their document is "right," but rather on the Y2K optimists to prove it's wrong. The notion that Mr. Koskinen's "Community Conversations" is providing such proof is laughable: these events have involved nothing more than public officials in some two dozen cities lecturing to an audience of a couple hundred people about why it's a bad idea for them to take their money out of the bank.

TEL AVIV – A Central Committee member of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' (pictured) Fatah movement claimed the Islamic State is an "American product," created as part of the U.S.'s "infernal plot to dismantle the Arab nation, split it, and kill its spirit of solidarity." The official also claimed that Iran is the "number one supporter" of the Palestinians, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported.
During an interview with Iraqi daily Al-Mashriq published last week, Fatah Commissioner of Arab Relations Abbas Zaki described what he called "the American plot" against the Arabs.
"The American plot began by targeting the heart of the Arab nation by destroying Iraq and Syria, and weakening Egypt. … The strong Arab states did not receive support that would enable them to deal with Israel and stop its spread on Arab land."
According to Zaki, the next step for America was to create IS, whose existence would then serve as the ultimate justification for the need to establish a Jewish state without Palestinians:
"IS is an American product, necessary for the establishment of an Islamic state in order to justify the existence of a Jewish state, in which there is no place for Palestinians."
Zaki further stated that "the Americans were not serious about their attacks against ISIS and eliminating it." Zaki claimed that Russia's attacks on ISIS "exposed the American deception."
"The Russian intervention has exposed the American deception, and proven what cannot be questioned – that Washington was not serious in recent years about eliminating ISIS, or even about weakening it."
The Palestinian leader also stated that it is a mistake for Palestinians not to take advantage of Iran's gestures towards them.
"The Palestinians have not taken advantage of the relations with Iran, which has opened an embassy for us and given us support in all ways," Zaki said. "We made a mistake when we distanced ourselves from Iran, and it is our number one supporter."

Economic Aspects of Women Returning to School.
Corman, Hope
The relationships between labor force behavior, marital status and college attendance decisions of women between the ages of 25 and 65 were investigated through a model, empirically tested using ordinary least squares, from the 1975 survey of adult education conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the National Institute of Education. From the over 16,000 observations provided by the 1975 statistical test, approximately 3% of women between 25 and 65 who were eligible were enrolled in a college or university for degree credit. Results confirmed the hypotheses that women: (1) are less likely to go to college as they begin to approach retirement age; (2) labor force members are more likely to go to college; (3) who have already completed some college are more likely candidates for returning to school; and (4) who are divorced or single are more likely to return to college.

All events held at Southwark Cathedral are catered for by Elior, who have developed a selection of seasonal menus including a three-course fine dining dinner and bite-sized canapés and bowl food.
Tempting dishes on offer include slow gin-cured salmon, roast fillet and braised short rib of beef, spiced panna cotta, mulled fruits and brown butter shortbread and a Neal's Yard cheese board. Canapés equally mouth-watering, with home-smoked confit duck, Cornish crab and samphire arancini and poached quail's egg Florentine.
Southwark Cathedral can cater for standing receptions of up to 800 people and dinners for 200, with the more intimate retro choir available for smaller events and the option of the Churchyard for outdoor receptions in the summer months.
The Cathedral can be dressed and themed to transform the venue, with options such as dramatic up-lighting between the Cathedral's arches to highlight the impressive architecture and head-height candlesticks lining the Nave to create a warm and welcoming ambience.
Angus Brydon, Operations Director of Elior said: "Elior has been working with Southwark Cathedral for nearly 10 years, which has given us a chance to see what a fantastic, versatile venue it is. There are few other venues in London with as much history, beauty and scope for unique events, and we are looking forward to seeing what new and exciting ideas we are approached with."
Private hire of Southwark Cathedral is available for private parties of up to 200 for dinner and 800 for standing receptions.

Egg fight: Are quotas holding back Ontario's organic farmers?
By admin On October 17, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Uncategorized
By Marco Chown Oved Published: Guelph Mercury, Oct. 8, 2013
GUELPH — It's a scene of bucolic harmony rarely seen in the era of factory farming. Cows, pigs, geese and chickens all run free on Murray Thunberg's traditional mixed farm near Guelph.
One look at Thunberg's round, yellow cucumbers and striped tomatoes and you know this is no normal farm. Thunberg specializes in rare, heritage breeds. His pigs have spots and his hens lay colourful eggs.
It's a niche market that's brought him great success. Chefs love local, organic food. High-end markets can't get enough. But not everyone likes his green eggs and ham.
Ontario's supply management system restricts the number of chickens and hens Thunberg can keep.
The quota system was brought in to protect farmers but, decades later, new farmers complain it's turned into a cartel that protects those who got in early and makes it nearly impossible for newcomers like Thunberg to make money.

70 HK schools to include organ donation teaching materials in liberal studies lessons
By staff writer, with additional reporting by Ben Pang
More than 70 local secondary schools will use Hong Kong's first organ donation teaching materials, which includes the views of six of the city's biggest religions, to boost donations.
The materials, which educators have praised, were developed by the Hong Kong Organ Transplant Foundation over two years and are to be used this term in liberal studies lessons from Form Four to Form Six.
"If we want to change, education at a young age is important," said Dr Kelvin Ho Kai-leung, the foundation's founding president.
Dr Kelvin Ho Kai-leung, the foundation's founding president, said many Hongkongers only had a "superficial knowledge of organ donation".
Why are so few Hongkongers registered organ donors, and how can we change this?
The city's organ donation rate has ranked among the lowest in the world, with just 5.8 donors for every one million residents in 2015, according to a Legislative Council study released in July.
The course consists of three modules and introduces students to the latest data. It also includes case studies of transplant recipients and donors. Perspectives from the city's six major religions – Protestantism, Catholicism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Islam – have also been included, with religious leaders seeing organ donation as a good thing.
The materials also look at transplant procedures and the eligibility criteria for specific organs.
Students have reacted positively to these materials. Cheyenne Cheung Hui-yan, 17, a Form Six student from Good Hope School, said the materials can raise students' awareness about organ donation.

"Despite the death of Jamella Mangali Lo, the 19-year-old who failed to get a lung transplant last year, many students are not familiar with organ donation as it is not a part of our curriculum. The new material lets us look at the topic from different angles," says Cheyenne.
Shahryar Naeem, 18, from the University of Hong Kong, said it would clear some misconceptions.
"In my religion, Islam, some believe it is haram (banned and sinful) to donate organs as the human body is a gift from Allah (God), but that's not true."
He added the materials should be included at university level, too. "Maybe there could be related seminars or talks. Perhaps it could be embedded into some of the common core courses like medical ethics. It could also show up in Hong Kong Today as it is a rather hot topic with a lot of debate involving different walks of life from Hong Kong's society."
Tutor H. Y. Fung from Modern Education said that this was a preliminary stage of integrating this topic into the liberal studies syllabus. It is related to liberal studies modules, including Personal Development and Interpersonal Relationships, Hong Kong Today and Public Health.
"I believe they will cover the topic more extensively in the future. Students can also discuss whether or not everyone should be made a potential organ donor. It will be a controversial topic to look at, but the materials can instil positive values and attitudes in students," said Fung.

With more and more mobile health apps releasing each year and slower growth in the number of users downloading, financial success is becoming less likely for developers without substantial backing, data from a recent market research report suggests. According to the mHealth Economics 2017 study — an annual Research2Guidance survey which this summer polled 2,400 mobile health stakeholders — there...

Sanjay Jha, the Cehief Executive of Motorla Mobility, has said that 70 per cent of returns of Android devices are down to problems with apps and software, rather than hardware.
Speaking to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology conference, Jha said that the openness of the Android Market, which means that anybody can upload an application, was permitting inefficient pieces of software.
"For power consumption and CPU use, those apps are not tested. We're beginning to understand the impact that has," Jha said.
Jha said that Motorloa's Motoblur interface, overlaid on the standard Android operating system, was also giving them valuable insights into the impact of poorly designed apps. It collects, for instance, information about how apps drain devices' batteries.
"We are getting to the place that we should be able to warn you," Jha said. That could mean, for instance, warning users that some apps have caused other people problems. Jha said that such a system would promote more informed choices.
Motorola was among the first companies to adopt Android, and now only makes Android phones. As it's been joined by rival manufacturers, however, the company has used software such as Motoblur to differentiate itself from the competition.
"Now there are a number of players so Android is not a differentiator," Jha said. "The negative is all of us are competing extremely hard to get more market share and attention," he said. "So those are the trade-offs there."

Nancy Dahlberg has an article posted at the miamiherald.com about the U.S. Small Business Administration's Microloan Program.
The South Florida District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration announced that the agency's Microloan Program is now available to qualifying small businesses throughout the state.
The expansion comes because the lending territory of a previously approved firm, Black Business Investment Fund of Central Florida (BBIF), was increased. Prior to obtaining statewide micro lending status, BBIF previously provided microloans mainly through the North Florida District.
SBA's Microloan Program, which is focused on startups, minority and other underserved markets, provides loans up to $50,000 to help small businesses and certain not-for-profit childcare centers start up and expand. Microloans play an important role in distressed communities where access to conventional lending remains a challenge. The average microloan size is approximately $13,000. More information about the microloan program can be found at www.sba.gov/microloans.

Day 357 – sunset after the rains
With the record rains finally over, I was happy to see the sun setting on this field. We had nearly our annual rainfall in just 5 days!
Day 342 – mossy rocks
On the way home, I quickly stopped by La Jolla beach to shoot a few for day 342. This beach is amazing and today was just beautiful.
Day 260 – Burnt Out
How appropriate for the end of a long week. I noticed this as I was driving home from an appointment today.
Clearly there was a recent brush fire that went through here. I pulled off the road to capture the aftermath. There is a residence less than 100 yards from where I am standing. It's amazing how well the fire departments control fires and protect homes.
It serves as a warning that fire season is upon us. To see this same area in better times, view my Day 54 shot here.
Day 250: La Jolla Cove Rocks
I worked down in San Diego today so took the opportunity to swing by La Jolla Cove. The place is so beautiful, I just wish I had more time there. I only had enough time to snap a few and then get back to work.
Day 227: Shadow Ridge
Day 216: Golden Hour
The "golden hour" is about an hour before and after sunset. I rarely get to shoot during this time frame due to work and family time. Today, I did and this image is the result.
Day 150 – Kapalua Beach
Day 149 – Haleakala Volcano
This is the view from 10,000 feet above sea level at the top of the Haleakala Volcano.
The clouds you see are sitting at about 6,000 feet. I heard that this is the steepest road in the US. You go from sea level to 10,000 feet in about 20 miles.
It is really breathtaking to be so high at the rim of a volcano. Otherworldly.

El Monte: Truck Crashed into Bus Bench, Killing Girl, Injuring Boy and Woman
Comments (0)
Shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 24th, a pickup truck crashed into a bus bench, the impact killing an 18-month-old girl and seriously injuring a 12-year-old boy and a 36-year-old woman in El Monte. While in a Walgreens' parking lot on Valley Boulevard, the motorist drove through a parking stall, over a planter, and into the bench and the three pedestrians. They were transported to a nearby hospital, where the girl was pronounced dead. Authorities are investigating the crash.
"Unfortunately, while most types of traffic fatalities have been declining in recent years, an increasing number of pedestrians have been fatally injured," explained California personal injury lawyer James Ballidis.
El Monte accounted for 2 of the 177 fatalities and 48 of the 5,215 injuries suffered by pedestrians in traffic accidents in Los Angeles County in 2009, according to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. The incidence of pedestrian fatalities rose 5.4 percent from 567 in 2009 to 599 in 2010.
All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the family of the girl who was killed when the truck crashed into the bus bench. We would also like to wish the boy and woman injured in the accident a full recovery.
The Los Angeles Times originally reported this El Monte pedestrian accident.
Resources for accident victims and their families, including books and articles on pedestrian rights and the process of pursuing an injury or a wrongful death claim, are available to the public free of charge through our office.
If you would like to request one of these free resources, or to speak with a California personal injury lawyer, feel free to call 866-981-5596.

Sixth grade brings new responsibilities to students. Their academics requires that they become more independent learners. Time management and organization are key skills for success. Some of the "fun" activities in sixth grade include being "Big Brothers and Big Sisters" to kindergarten students. We attend and help them understand the school Liturgies and share in monthly activities. Students also continue lessons in Shurley English, the language program, brings excitement with the reciting of jingles to help remember concepts and classify sentences in a way that makes English interesting.
Science goals at the middle school level involve exploring the world around us through accurate observations and application of common sense. The Harcourt Science series used by grades five and six allows access to the entire science text. Science opens up to students a unique world of learning — God's creation.

A man has been jailed for life for the murder of a woman who died of internal injuries after a shampoo bottle was found lodged in her abdomen following a "perverted sexual assault".
Daniel McBride, 44, will serve at least 29 years behind bars before being eligible for parole for the "sadistic" killing of vulnerable 51-year-old Majella Lynch in April last year, police and court officials said.
Ms Lynch, known as Maj, was taken to hospital after she was found at her Southampton home by carers suffering from "severe abdominal pain".
She was reluctant to tell nursing staff what had happened, but doctors examined her and found a full 400ml shampoo bottle in her abdominal cavity. The bottle was removed but she died two days later.
A standby juror who heard the start of McBride's trial fainted as details of Ms Lynch's death were described at Winchester Crown Court.
On Thursday McBride, of Southampton, was sentenced after inflicting what detectives said were "horrendous" internal injuries, which caused Ms Lynch an "excruciatingly painful death".
Prosecutor William Mousley QC told the trial that Ms Lynch was a "chronic drinker who had a chaotic lifestyle which left her vulnerable".
He added that she was visited at home by support workers who had given her the shampoo bottle to help with her personal hygiene.
Detective Chief Inspector Ellie Hurd, of Hampshire Police, said following McBride's conviction: "On Friday April 18, Daniel McBride carried out a horrific, humiliating and sadistic attack on an extremely vulnerable woman for his own perverted purposes.
• Juror who researched defendant online guilty of contempt
"Having invited himself into Maj Lynch's home, he callously inflicted horrendous internal injuries to her, leaving her to die a prolonged and no doubt excruciatingly painful death.
"Daniel McBride has repeatedly lied about what happened that night and showed no remorse for his actions which can only have added to the uncertainty and distress of her friends and family."

You're probably never going to become an astronaut, but here's one childhood dream that actually did come true: You can now get safe-to-eat cookie dough.
Specializing in dough made from pasteurized-egg product and heat-treated flour (making it totally OK to eat raw), DŌ, pronounced "dough," in Greenwich Village serves the gooey substance in practically every form imaginable: by the scoop, flattened and served with ice cream in between, barely baked into brownies, and mixed into ice cream sundaes and milkshakes. The shop stays local for its outsourced ingredients, with specialty cones from The Konery and ice cream from Blue Marble, both located in Brooklyn. Making sure not to leave anyone out, DŌ also sells gluten-free and vegan cookie dough options; and if you somehow aren't feeling the raw stuff, baked cookies made from the dough are also available.
The colorful shop displays its gourmet cookie dough flavors -- like confetti, nuts for nuts, and fluffernutter -- in tubs lined up on a counter, like an ice cream shop. You can also order special treats like the ice cream pie, a cookie bomb (DŌ's version of a cupcake), or an ice cream sanDŌwich with flattened raw cookie dough holding it together. If you're in a rush, there's also prepackaged dough to-go from a freezer in front.
A large glass window at the back of the shop reveals a kitchen lined with massive jars of sprinkles, mounds of butter, rows of stand-up mixers, and buckets of sugar. In the future, founder Kristen Tomlan hopes to host cooking classes back there.
Unsurprisingly, DŌ has had lines out the door since opening last week. The store opens at 8am (because who wouldn't want cookie dough for breakfast), but only sells baked goods and prepackaged dough in the mornings -- starting at 11am, you can order freshly scooped dough and specialty items until they're sold out.
To see some of DŌ's treats being made, including the confetti flavor, the ice cream sanDŌwich, and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Nutella Bomb, check out the video above.
Sign up here for our daily NYC email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun New York has to offer.
This Stretchy Ice Cream Is The Oldest Style In The World
Have you ever broken out a tub of raw cookie dough as a foolproof cure for any kind of blues? You're not alone. DŌ is sating those guilty-pleasure cravings with safe-to-eat dough that's made with pasteurized eggs and heat-treated flour (not that raw eggs have stopped you before). More than ten flavors of cookie dough are on offer, from classic chocolate chip and sugar cookie to peanut butter snickerdoodle and brownie batter. The dough is scooped into a cup or cone, but it's also baked into actual cookies and served appropriately with ice cream. As a neon sign inside the white-tiled space reads, "dreams dough come true."

An imprecation.it reads:
In time, before St. Philip's daya postscript is here written:
In dark of night, Paris sleeping
The dam which held it back gave way
That wall alone which still was keeping
Detente in place, with fragile words
But not it seems, with sharpened swords
As those of the moon might say
Time is nigh to cut their cords
And let them to the ocean's whim
The middle sea cross'd with impunity
As though no water contained within
Had power longer to make men flee
Who would fear the water's wrath
They think and stumble down the path
And not of their childrens' security
They think of taking a bubble bath
While blood to spill and bombs pour in
An army gathers they cannot rout
Awaiting spark, inciting din
While they quaver in darkling doubt
It is a story, 'twas told before
For when the blood runs to their door
Will they turn the migrants out?
We wonder what we should wonder for.
a pass-word:

HOUSTON – The search continues for clues leading to a gunman who sprayed a suburban Houston apartment with gunfire, killing three people and critically wounding two.
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said investigators are waiting for an opportunity to interview the two survivors. Both are in critical condition at Memorial Hermann-Texas Trauma Institute in Houston.
The shooting happened late Wednesday afternoon at an apartment complex in an unincorporated area 25 miles northwest of downtown Houston.
Garcia says a young man and two young women died after each was shot multiple times, including in the head. The surviving man and woman had similar gunshot wounds.
Deputies have no description of the gunman. Garcia says witnesses reported a man shot the victims inside the one-bedroom downstairs apartment, closed the apartment door and fled.

I, GP, am always amazed that people do not know the functions that their food items (& nutrients within those items) play. That said, many adults don't even know what nutrients are derived from foods they're eating, despite most being clearly labeled. Below is a list of our key nutrients and the main function that they perform. Click on each for more in-depth information.
Protein – repair & growth of tissue
Carbohydrate – primary energy source
Fat – secondary energy source
Vitamins & Minerals – regulate metabolic processes.
Water – transportation of other nutrients
Something to note: If you're a primary school teacher teaching Key Stages 1 & 2 - Unit: Keeping Healthy, then I've performed several very basic nutrition talks in the past few years (tying in with that year's curriculum) which have been very well received. For some of these talks, I prepared interactive powerpoint presentations that you're welcome to use. Please contact me for details.

Faculty & Staff
César Leal
Sewanee Symphony Orchestra Conductor, Assistant Professor Music
Bachelor's degree in Music Performance from Javeriana University in Bogotá, Colombia; Master's in Instrumental Conducting from Florida International University; Ph.D. in Musicology from the University of Kentucky
Dr. César Leal holds a Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Kentucky, a Bachelor's degree in music performance from Javeriana University in Bogotá, Colombia, and a Master's in instrumental conducting from Florida International University. Dr. Leal is currently the Artistic Director and Conductor of the Sewanee Symphony Orchestra at Sewanee: The University of the South. Additionally, he teaches and develops courses in musicology and music history.
His dissertation offers one of the first sustained examinations of Gabriel Astruc (1864–1938), a French impresario of Jewish background, mostly known for his collaborative work with Sergei Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes. For this project, and thanks to the support from the University of Kentucky and l'Institut Mémoires de l'édition contemporaine (IMEC) in France, Leal conducted archival research in France between 2011-2012. Recently his book chapter "Gabriel Astruc, Wagner and the Wagnerianism of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées" was published in a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. His work on Astruc has been featured in Musicology Now, an online publication by the American Musicological Society which, besides musicologists, targets a broad interdisciplinary audience.
Leal's activities as a Musicologist and Conductor often intersect. In September 2013, in collaboration with the Lexington Ballet, he directed a full-stage production devoted to Diaghilev's Ballet Russes. This tribute included performances of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Chopin Sylphides, and Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun. In 2011 and 2012 he was the assistant director of the Congrés Mondiale d'Écologie Sonore, an event devoted to music research and performance. For his debut with the Panama National Symphony Orchestra in July 2014, Leal programmed works from the fin-de-siècle that bridge European and Latin American musical traditions.
His research interests include fin-de-siècle cultural life in Paris, Latin American contemporary music, and the significance of soundscapes to music history. Leal is currently the artistic director of EnVaGe (the Ensemble of Variable Geometry). He has led ensembles in the U.S., Panama, Colombia, France, and the Ukraine. He has recorded works by several Latin American composers and has presented scholarly papers in the U.S., Canada, Peru, Greece, and Switzerland.

Petal, Hattiesburg make use of façade grantsBy HASKEL BURNS,
- 3462 reads
Thu, 03/15/2018 - 11:17am
Business owners and officials in Petal and Hattiesburg are putting to good use $13,000 in grant money earmarked for aesthetic improvements around town.
The funds, which were received last year through Community Investment Façade Grants from Mississippi Power, were awarded for building improvements, including painting, signage, light fixtures, landscaping and general maintenance. Mississippi Power instituted the program to encourage property owners to upgrade their storefronts with the goal of increasing property value and enhancing the overall appearance of the community, making it more attractive to consumers and potential investors.
In the Friendly City, the Petal Area Chamber of Commerce split $3,000 in grant money equally between three businesses: Revitalizations LLC, Vaughn Law Firm and Adam Watkins Ventures.
"The revitalization of a neglected commercial district or residential neighborhood often begins with improvements to a single building or storefront, which oftentimes stimulates similar improvements in neighboring buildings," said Valerie Wilson, executive director of the Petal Area Chamber of Commerce. "The residents of Petal have expressed their desire for beautification efforts in the city. These grants are a boost to those efforts."
Vaughn Law Firm used the funds for landscaping, while the staff at Adam Watkins Ventures painted the building. Jeff Sapp, owner of Revitalizations LLC on West Central Avenue, used his store's share of the funds to install new signage in the front of the building.
"I had a temporary sign (before), because real signs cost a lot of money," Sapp said. "Now I have a 4-by-8 metal sign, and there's two separate ones that are on each side of the post that are my permanent signs now."
Meanwhile, the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association received $10,000 in Community Investment Façade Grants, which was split equally between 10 businesses in or near downtown:
Black Sheep's Café, which invested in cleaning, painting, signage and light fixtures;
Blu Jazz Café, which installed new signage, ornamental elements and lighting;
Keg & Barrel, which pressured washed the building, ugraded the louvered vents and strung LED lights along the fence;
Main Street Books, which will repaint the building's façade, replace broken glass, install new signage and add string lights to the building;
R3SM; which painted, repaired damaged wood, installed new signage and landscaping;
Town Square Café, which installed new signage;
Advantage Welding, which cleaned the building, rented a backhoe and laid down 16 yards of gravel;
Twin Forks Wine & Provisions, which is installing a new back door and stairs, as well as landscaping the exterior dining area;
Connect Chiropractic, which is repairing awning, painting, replacing wall sconces and getting a new mailbox; and
A Renae Salon, which is repairing awning, painting, replacing wall sconces and getting a new mailbox.
Sarah Halliwell Carver, who co-owns Twin Forks Wine & Provisions along with her husband Brian, said the grant money gave them the jump-start they needed to make the upgrades.
"We're really excited," she said. "(The funds) were very helpful – it was money that we didn't have to spend on our own, or take out excess loans, to continue building on our kitchen."
Mississippi Power's grants came with a few stipulations – first and foremost, the funds were required to go to open businesses, as residencies and vacant businesses did not qualify under the terms of the grants. Additional stipulations stated that improvements must begin within 30 days of receiving funds and projects must be completed within one year.
In addition to Petal and Hattiesburg, three other areas in Mississippi Power's Pine Belt Division received grants: Laurel Main Street, the Greater PineBelt Community Foundation (Sumrall) and the Covington County Chamber of Commerce (Seminary).
"It was very much appreciated," said Andrea Saffle, executive director of the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association. "I think it sparked a lot of projects that people had been thinking about doing.
"We're hopeful that (Mississippi Power) will consider doing it again, because there was such a positive response from it. But if not, we're looking for other ways that we can create and fund a program on our own."

Tattarama Tattoo Parlor | clear | 10:17pm
"Baby please just let me give you a lift home. It's dark out, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to my pretty little lady."
"You better. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, love."
I watched from the curbside as Jesse drove off in his prized 1969 Camaro. He keeps telling me he's going to take me on a beautiful sunset drive and win my heart. I wonder how many women he's used that card on. Jesse is the eccentric owner of Tattarama, he's only a few years older but he is definitely your classic romantic Italian. We met the day I returned to Index when he caught me low-key checking him out at the coffee house. But once he realized I also spoke Italian, he was completely smitten by me and offered me the receptionist job at his tattoo shop on the spot. Everybody at the shop calls him Gator, the story behind as to why is still a mystery, but I prefer Jesse. Pretty name to match his pretty smile.
With the shop all closed up, I took one last glance as the neon sign flickered off before walking down the sidewalk along the dimly lit street lights.
Would it have been smarter for me to just let Jesse take me home? Of course. But there's something about the night life that peaks my interest, the empty streets, the cool breeze, it's all so refreshing and calming. Or maybe it's being unaware of your surroundings, who or what could be out there. Months ago, I remember the unknown would keep me up at night. How times have changed.
Or so I thought.
I was maybe a block or two from my apartment when a feeling I hadn't felt in months pierced my chest. But this was worse, much worse. I'm no stranger to this chest pain, however this was something else. Every time I inhaled the pain just seemed to pierce harder. I found myself using the truck in front of me to keep me from collapsing to the concrete.
"Walking alone at night? Didn't mommy and daddy teach you better? There could be creeps or man slaughters walking amongst you, sissy."
Every hair on my skin stood up straight. A shiver trickled down my spine. It couldn't be... That voice. This wasn't actually happening. This was just a bad dream and I was about to wake up at any second. But this was very much real.
I finally turned to face him and in doing so, I forgot how to breathe.
"Wow, it's been quite some time since I last heard that name. The name's Kyle now, thank you very much."
Before I could even wrap my mind around whatever the hell was going on, his hand was caught around my neck and he shoved me against the brick wall in a dimly lit alleyway. I winced at the forceful impact the wall had on my back, my hands holding onto his wrists as I tried to gasp for a breathe of air. "Now you're going to be a good little girl and remain calm. I don't want to have to make you. You've already had enough of your freedom taken away from you."
I wanted to speak. But words, I was at a lost for them. Even my thoughts were on pause. My mind has never been so quiet.
"Your heart beat... You're still scared of me, aren't you?" His face seemed to have gone soft, his voice filled with concern. My eyebrows scrunched together at his acknowledgment of my rapid heart rate. How could he know that? "Good. That's good. The more real you are, the more they'll believe it." He stated, his eyes diverting from mine to the end of the alley we were in.
"We don't have long. Do it now." He ordered the mystery figure whose face was still masked with the darkness. When they finally spoke, actually more like a chant, it was once again in Latin but I couldn't make out a single word. They kept moving towards us, the only source of light finally showcased their face and it was a man. But then his eyes started to glow, he raised one of his hands towards me, he flicked his wrist once and my screams echoed throughout the alley. The pain in my chest had reached a whole different level to where I believed my heart was actually going to explode.
"You don't get it, Sof! Do you have any idea what you've done by getting involve in all of this?! This is the only way they won't find you!" He snarled, but that wasn't all. The veins below his eyes were now visible and pulsating, his teeth... The fangs. My eyes widened at the realization of what he was. And he knew it at as well. On the other hand, who was he talking about? They won't find me? But also, why did he even care?
Just as the pain came to an abrupt halt, there was pure silence for moment as every street light flashed off. I didn't realize the man was now right beside Scott and I. He placed either hand on the back of our heads and pressed our foreheads together, he took one last breath before chanting once more. However this one was different from the previous chant. I peered through my eyelashes at Scott who was already staring at me, he opened his mouth as if he was about to say one more thing...
Then I felt my skin being sliced into, over and over again. Our screams shattered the once silent night. I could feel the warm liquid running down my fingertips as did the tears stream down my cheeks.
And suddenly, everything went black.
