This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) model for obtaining an optimal operating policy and optimal crop water allocations from an irrigation reservoir. The objective is to maximize the sum of the relative yields from all crops in the irrigated area. The model takes into account reservoir inflow, rainfall on the irrigated area, intraseasonal competition for water among multiple crops, the soil moisture dynamics in each cropped area, the heterogeneous nature of soils, and crop response to the level of irrigation applied. The model is applied to the Malaprabha single-purpose irrigation reservoir in Karnataka State, India. The optimal operating policy obtained using the GA is similar to that obtained by linear programming. This model can be used for optimal utilization of the available water resources of any reservoir system to obtain maximum benefits.

So I'm pretty much addicted to rereading. A lot of people don't enjoy it because they get bored or they feel like they have to spend all of their time on unread books, but I love it. I think a lot of it is because I have such a bad memory when it comes to reading (or anything in life, frankly), so sometimes when I reread, it's just like I'm reading the book for the first time.
The SHATTER ME series is no exception. I read the first three books (as well as the two novellas), back in 2015 and 2016, so I was scared that I wouldn't like them as much the second time. Here's my experience while rereading them, to prepare for RESTORE ME, which comes out in just a few weeks! Continue reading

Disclosure: I'm a passionate casual educator and I've just a few years of expertise as a high school trainer for English as a second language and Physics. If all children enter and graduate from main faculty one 12 months early, the primary NER and GER are no longer 100%. It assists the stated Ministry within the formulation and implementation of its insurance policies and programmes in the area of education. Schooling is the key to the longer term: You have heard it one million instances, and it is not unsuitable.
Maybe the hardest challenge is to put in place a coherent national college improvement strategy. As in state of affairs 2 with early entry, the primary GER is close to 100 percent as a result of the inhabitants in major college (7-12 years) is close to the inhabitants of main school age (6-11 years).
The Certification or Licensure programs offered by the Professional Schooling Unit have been permitted by the Connecticut State Board of Training and have moreover been nationally recognized or accredited by their respective national association.
With a view to carrying out such features effectively, the council works in shut co-operation with the Training Division within the States and the Universities and usually with all organizations in the nation for furthering the goals of college schooling.
The school superintendent investigated the claim and found that it was true: a solution is at the moment being evaluated. DeVos's residence state, Michigan, demonstrates the devastation of her hardline college choice reforms. We've some good things going for us within the United States however I imagine there are some things we might change to improve our system.

Spending the 4th of July at the USS Midway
The USS Midway Museum is one of the most popular attractions in the country for those who love to learn about military history. The museum itself features several decks of the USS Midway so you can tour the ship and learn about life at sea during some of the biggest battles in U.S. history.
Every year on Independence Day, the USS Midway comes alive with an incredible celebration, and this year you can join in on the fun.
What to See
The flight deck of the USS Midway is expansive, and today it is home to a huge range of military aircraft of all kinds. Guests can easily spend all day traversing the flight deck, learning about the different types of aircraft and hearing stories from veterans who act as guides today.
This interactive display will give you a great understanding of the technology and equipment used since World War II. The flight deck is also the most accessible part of the museum for those with impaired mobility.
The ship also features several staircases that will take you up to the captain's bridge or down to the lower decks. If you are able to make it up or down the narrow passageways within the ships, these parts of the tour are definitely worth visiting, however you will still get your money's worth from the top of the flight deck as you watch the largest fireworks show in town over the water.
What to Learn
The USS Midway Museum is called the best handicap accessible tour in San Diego because of the wealth of knowledge you can gain just from crossing through the accessible parts of the ship.
A handy audio tour will accompany you through the ship where there aren't live guides present. Simply put in the headphones and you will be taken away into the distant past to learn about how the ship functioned and its role in several important historical moments.
If you have a chance to visit the USS Midway this year for the Fourth of July, PA Medical Supply is here to make your trip simpler. With wheelchair rentals and other medical equipment available for delivery, just give us a call and we will ensure that your trip to the USS Midway is a success. We also have walker rentals available as necessary. Make sure to share a picture of your visit with us on our Facebook page and let us know if you love the tour!

GENEVA (Reuters) - The world is suffering from "global burnout syndrome" and is too weak to tackle the web of interrelated threats facing businesses and governments, the head of the World Economic Forum said on Wednesday.
Klaus Schwab, who chairs the WEF that organizes the annual meeting of executives and politicians at Davos, said the world had not yet fully digested the crisis that emerged from the financial crunch, and was not yet in post-crisis phase.
"We have to be careful that this crisis does not become a social crisis — which it has in some countries," the German business studies professor told a media conference on the gathering at the Swiss resort from January 26 to January 30.
"We have in the world a situation where the political system and the institutions are just overwhelmed by the complexity which they have to face," he said.
The Davos meeting, protected by beefed-up Swiss security which includes the closing of local airspace, is the world's top networking event, allowing bankers and CEOs to rub shoulders with presidents and prime ministers, and to cut deals.
But the uneven economic recovery makes it a particularly challenging time to be meeting, with emerging economies rebounding but rich countries still struggling.
In the rich world social tension is rising as governments bring in austerity measures to pay off debt or postpone hard decisions on borrowing, while companies return to profitability and banks resume controversial bonus payments.
Global forecasting and analysis group IHS says a restructuring of eurozone sovereign debt is inevitable and while it is unlikely that fringe countries will drop out of the euro, financial markets could force the next phase of crisis management as early as this year.
"This will very likely include a debt restructuring plan, with 'haircuts' for investors and further aid for the European banks holding much of this debt," IHS Chief Economist Nariman Behravesh said in a briefing for the Davos forum.
In a report last week, the WEF identified three interrelated nexuses of risks — economic, such as fiscal, trade and currency problems; raw materials, particularly the impact of rising energy costs and dwindling water supplies on food prices; and illegal trade, corruption and failed states.
"It's not just risks in isolation, it's the combination of risks that can be so dangerous," said WEF Chief Business Officer Robert Greenhill.
Rising economic disparity and social tension nationally and the increasing inability of the global community to tackle problems proactively exacerbates these threats.
"It's that failure of global governance... which is perhaps the greatest risk of all," Greenhill said.
Glitz and hype surround the meeting in Davos, an upmarket ski resort made famous by German novelist Thomas Mann in his novel "The Magic Mountain" written at a time when it was better known for its sanitoriums for wealthy tuberculosis sufferers.
But the organizers do not claim it can actually solve the problems it discusses — although anti-capitalist campaigners denounce it as a plutocratic cabal plotting global domination.
"The World Economic Forum is not a decision-making body. It fosters dialogue, it fosters understanding," Schwab said.
But Greenhill said it will try to help with the complex of threats by launching a "global risk response network" bringing together company risk officers and government policy-makers.
As usual the WEF will wheel out several global leaders among its 2,500 participants. The chair of the G20, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, addresses the forum on Thursday, January 27.
Among 25 government heads expected are German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who opens the forum on Wednesday, January 26. Medvedev, a keen user of the micro-blogging site Twitter, will take questions from the public via "crowdsourcing" on www.wef.ch/askdmitrimedvedev.
The cast list also features eight central bankers, including European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, who will also take part in an open session accessible to the public, and 14 labor leaders and more than 1,400 CEOs and other business chiefs — 400 of whom will be using Twitter as "CEO reporters."
Davos's reputation in the past was made by several high-profile diplomatic meetings on the sidelines.
This year, seven key trade ministers hosted by the European Union will meet on Friday, January 28, as part of renewed efforts to conclude the nine-year-old Doha round to free up world trade — itself one of the biggest failures of global governance.

Updates on Projects in Kenya/
Last month Brydie from Project Kenya made a quick trip to Migori. We sent a laptop with her which she personally delivered to our friend Joram Matunga. Joram is attending IAT School of Business in Nairobi. He is now using the laptop for his school work.
Brydie also got some good news about Mbarro primary. Because of the lab we set up this summer, "the Ministry of Education announced that Nyamome Primary's computer lab will become an e-learning site. It will be one of five schools chosen in the entire the area." This lab has proven to be quite the success and this is very exciting news!
More info on Migori can be found here.

HP Dat 72 USB Internal Tape Drive
I had a tape drive at a client slowly die, I was running Symantec Backup Exec 12d. I spent an hour or so troubleshooting and ended up calling HP tech support and they decided to replace the tape drive, soon after, the replacement tape drive died…. it was in there for about one week. I tried everything. I was using HP Tape Tools for Windows. I updated the firmware for the tape drive and this didn't help. I updated the drivers and it didn't help. Diagnostics was pointing to the tape drive needing a cleaning(this was after many diagnostic runs), although the drive is a week old. I didn't believe HP when they said we needed a cleaning tape. Why would a tape drive work, but slowly? it was much faster with compression, but always would come back with a CRC error. In the end, I ordered two cleaning tapes, a few days later, I went onsite and ran the cleaning tape… to my surprise this seemed to fix the issue…. my question to HP is, "Why wasn't this drive quality tested?" Another question is, "Why doesn't a drive that requires cleaning monthly, ship with a cleaning tape?!!?"
Half ranting, half informative… If I save just one person hours of troubleshooting, then my job is done…

Lead Generation: Marketing Costs and the Impact on Client Acquisition
Break-Even Analysis Methods
There are three break-even analysis methods designed to help measure Cost of Marketing. Each addresses different but related parts of a company's needs.
The Customer Break-Even Analysis Method;
The formula for which is based on several data points:
Inputs to the Formula
The raw data for the inputs necessary to calculate this metric include forecasts for units, revenue and cost (price per unit, for example), all of which can be found in the Accounting and/or Finance departments. Costs will either come from supplier's price summaries or from internal production and operations plans. Unit and revenue forecasts can be derived from each year's budget and business plans and are typically based on past performance plus an adjustment that accounts for growth in the coming year expected to depart from a projection.
Exceptions to the Rule
While customer break-even analysis is a useful tool in measuring the cost of marketing and is mathematically straightforward, it does carry with it certain exceptions.
There are several less-visible factors that marketers should consider when calculating the break-even point. Break-even is dependent on list quality, customer retention rates, gross margins, marketing costs, purchase price and purchase frequency but ignores other, sometimes crucial, variables (e.g. when marketing decides to stop all activity focused at inactive customers). Determining when to terminate a customer should be an important part of the planning process, even while acknowledging that there will be exceptions.
In addition, a break-even analysis is less reliable if management is trying to correlate a general-awareness advertising campaign with increases in lead generation and sales. Unless a marketing campaign has a specific offer to which customers will respond, it would be problematic to use this approach to link a marketing campaign to any specific increase in business.
Break-even analysis is a sales technique used by many organizations to help determine the effectiveness of a marketing program, and ultimately impact client acquisition through strengthened lead generation.

New York, March 31, 2000 --- A Luanda court today convicted Angolan journalist Rafael Marques of defaming President José Eduardo dos Santos in an October 1999 article. Marques was sentenced to six months in prison, but the sentence was suspended pending appeal, sources in Luanda told CPJ.
New York, March 29, 2000 --- Prosecution witnesses in the trial of Angolan journalist Rafael Marques claimed yesterday that Marques had humiliated the government of President Eduardo dos Santos, tarnished the honor and dignity of the president himself, and demoralized the Angolan army, all by publishing an article in which he described President dos Santos as a "dictator," according to CPJ's sources in Luanda.
Marques trial lawyer walks out after being denied right to read appeal motion
March 23, 2000 --- The trial of Angolan free-lance journalist Rafael Marques, which resumed today in the Provincial Criminal Court of Luanda, was again adjourned to March 28 amid ominous signs of miscarriage of justice, sources in Angola told CPJ.
Marques trial adjourned to March 23 amid growing doubts about fairness
New York, March 21, 2000 --- The trial of Angolan free-lance journalist Rafael Marques, which was last adjourned on March 10, resumed today at 9:30 in the Provincial Criminal Court in Luanda, sources in Angola told CPJ.
After 30 minutes, Judge Joaquim de Abreu Cangato excluded the public from the courtroom. Officials from the US and Portuguese embassies, several human rights activists, and journalists were among those in attendance, until they were all forced to leave. Judge Cangato has no legal training, according to CPJ's sources.
The trial continued all day in secrecy. At the end of the hearing, a visibly exhausted Marques told friends and reporters outside the courtroom that the trial had been adjourned until Thursday, March 23.
Judge Cangato has been presiding over the Marques trial since it began in early March. A former member of the Angolan secret police, Cangato has apparently never studied law or any related discipline.
Marques' judge has no legal training, sources say
New York, March 20, 2000 --- Judge Joaquim de Abreu Cangato, who has been presiding over the trial of Angolan free-lance journalist Rafael Marques since it began in early March, has no legal background, according to CPJ's sources in Luanda.
Marques trial adjourned until March 21
New York, March 10, 2000 --- The trial of Angolan free-lance journalist Rafael Marques, which began yesterday in Luanda before a packed audience of local and international observers, was adjourned until March 21 pending a Supreme Court ruling on an appeal filed by the defense, sources in Luanda told CPJ.
Marques' lawyers will offer "truth defense" in tomorrow's trial
New York, March 8, 2000 --- Defense lawyers for Angolan free-lance journalist Rafael Marques, whose trial on defamation charges begins tomorrow in the Supreme Court, will raise both substantive and procedural arguments for dismissal, according to CPJ's sources in Luanda. Marques is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by President José Eduardo Dos Santos.
On the procedural front, defense lawyers will seek to nullify the proceedings on the grounds that neither Marques nor his two codefendants have been duly instructed of the charges that they face. In particular, the prosecution has never specified what part of Marques' writings are allegedly libelous. Nor do the charges specify the legal provisions under which the three defendants are being charged.
If this argument fails, Marques is expected to offer a detailed explanation of his writings, in order to support the argument that his work was intended solely to criticize the political behavior of Angola's ruler, and that no opinion was expressed about Dos Santos' moral behavior as an individual. In other words, Marques' criticisms were directed at the president's performance of his public duties, and not at his honor as a private Angolan citizen.
In blaming widespread corruption and incompetence in the Angolan administration on President Dos Santos' leadership, Marques was simply exercising his constitutional right to express political opinions. In the unlikely event that the president accepts Marques' explanation, the trial will be over.
If the president does not accept Marques' explanation, the defense is expected to argue that Marques' descriptions of the president's corrupt and incompetent administration are not libelous because they are true. The defense will submit as evidence, among other items, many writings of President Dos Santos in which the plaintiff denounces corruption in Angola, and ask that he take the stand to testify on the issue. In the even more unlikely event that the president agrees to testify, he will also be asked to comment on the verbal abuse of Marques by several government officials, and to state whether he condones these attacks.
Angolan legal experts say it is doubtful that the court will accept this "truth defense," since Angolan press law forbids defense by truth when the plaintiff is the president. The defense may then argue that this provision is incompatible with the Angolan Constitution as well as Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that everyone should have the right to freedom of expression and access to information. At the very least, truth must be a defense in the case of writings that address the president's political behavior and performance, as opposed to his personal life.
Marques trial to begin Thursday
New York, March 6, 2000 -- Freelance journalist Rafael Marques is preparing to stand trial for criminal defamation, because he dared to describe President José Eduardo Dos Santos as a "dictator." Marques, whose trial date has been repeatedly postponed, most recently from March 7 to March 9, has been charged under Angola's notorious Law 7/78, also known as the Law on Crimes Against State Security, which was widely used against anti-colonial militants before independence in 1975.
Under Law 7/78, according to Angolan legal experts, hearings on libel proceedings may be held in secrecy, under the rationale that giving the allegedly defamatory writings more publicity would be a further invasion of the plaintiff's right to privacy. Marques' lawyers have argued that because the plaintiff is not an individual, but rather the Office of the Presidency, the issue of privacy does not arise.
Law 7/78 further stipulates that when the victim is a public official, as in this case, the truth of the allegations is not a valid defense against libel charges. This means that Marques' lawyers will not be allowed to submit evidence in support of the allegations for which he has been charged. These rules are clearly inconsistent with minimum standards for due process, including presumption of innocence. If they are applied, the Marques trial will be a travesty of justice.
The trial has attracted a number of journalists, jurists, NGO and human rights activists to Luanda. It is not yet clear whether international observers will be allowed to attend the trial. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter will further test the legitimacy of the trial itself.
CPJ will be monitoring developments closely, with the assistance of correspondents in Luanda.
Background: the Marques Case
On October 16, 1999, at 6 a.m., officers of the Criminal Investigation Department (DNIC) arrested Rafael Marques, a 28-year-old freelance journalist who also represents the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa in Angola. Marques was arrested at his Luanda home and charged with defamation in connection with an article titled "The Lipstick of Dictatorship," which ran under his byline in the July 3, 1999, edition of the independent weekly Agora.
In the article, Marques claimed that Angolan president José Eduardo Dos Santos was responsible for "the destruction of the country... (and) for the promotion of incompetence, embezzlement and corruption as political and social values." Marques also called Dos Santos a "dictator."
Marques was initially refused access to a lawyer and to his family. He went on hunger strike for eight days to protest his detention. He was released on bail on November 25, on condition that he not leave Luanda, contact journalists, or make public statements. On December 15, his trial was switched from the Provincial Court to the Supreme Court. No explanation was given.
If convicted, Marques faces two to eight years in prison. Some sources have speculated that he may be convicted but given a suspended sentence.
Background: Press Freedom in Angola
The Marques trial unfolds against a backdrop of civil war and state repression, both of which have had negative results for the independent Angolan press. In late 1998, the breakdown of the 1994 Lusaka peace accords led to the resumption of a brutal civil war that has killed more than half a million Angolans and devastated the country's economy. Since then there has been a marked increase in the frequency and seriousness of reported press freedom violations in Angola.
At the beginning of January, 1998, the government effectively imposed a news blackout on coverage of the rebel National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). In a memo disseminated via state media, the Ministry of Social Communication said Angolan journalists should not even refer to the war, although state media continued to issue reports that minimized government setbacks and characterized UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi as a war criminal.
While some independent journalists were cowed, others tried to cover both sides of the story. This resulted in an editorial in the government-owned Jornal de Angola that accused independent media of "facilitating" UNITA's fight against the government.
Shortly afterwards, on January 11, two journalists with the independent Radio Morena in Benguela were arrested after the station re-broadcast a Portuguese state television interview with a UNITA official.
On March 1, 1998, the Ministry of Social Communication banned reporting on draft evasion. "Publishing news and broadcasting radio programs inciting young people to evade the military draft... constitutes a grave violation of the press law, of the military law, and of other ordinary laws of the country, making their perpetrators liable to sanctions of the law," the statement said. "Those who insist on prevaricating face the sanction of the law including, among others, the cancellation of the license to publish and withdrawal of the license to broadcast."
On April 3, William Tonet, editor of the independent newspaper Folha 8, was interrogated by state security officers in connection with articles in his newspaper that allegedly incited young men to evade military duty. On April 29, Voice of America reporter Josefa Lamberga was assaulted by an Angolan army corporal while researching an article on draft evasion.
On June 1, Minister of Social Communication Hendrik Vaal Neto threatened to shut down independent media that failed to support the government's war effort against the UNITA rebel movement. The minister accused the independent press of "supporting Savimbi's propaganda," characterized certain news reports as "unpatriotic," and claimed that they effectively incited young men to avoid conscription.
CPJ protested Neto's comments in a June 4, 1998, letter to President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. In a response to CPJ dated June 23, the minister said the purpose of his June 1 statement was "merely to remind the bad, less competent and insidious journalists that they should carry out their profession with respect and within the parameters established by law," and that the government of Angola had never intended to "harass any journalist or shut down the private media."
Meanwhile, the independent press experienced ever more brutal repression. On August 9, police raided the studios of Radio Ecclesia, a Roman Catholic FM station in Luanda, while the station was re-broadcasting a BBC interview with Savimbi. Police arrested a total of nine journalists in connection with this broadcast. The authorities then forced Radio Ecclesia to sign an agreement stating that it would not refer to Jonas Savimbi or UNITA on the air without prior permission from the government.
Radio Ecclesia was accused of having violated "the internal and external security of the state" under Angola's notorious Law 7/78, also known as the Law on Crimes against State Security. This law clearly violates Article 35 of the 1992 Angolan Constitution, which guarantees the right to freedom of expression. However, the absence of a functioning Constitutional Court in Angola means that Law 7/78 cannot be challenged.
Between August 19 and September 6, police interrogated at least seven journalists in various parts of Angola as the government stepped up its campaign to deter independent reporting on the civil war. In late September, however, there were signs that the government might moderate its generally hostile attitude toward independent journalism in Angola. On September 23, Attorney General Domingos Culolo issued a statement recognizing "the value and benefit of the press in a democratic state" and praising the press' role in "the permanent fight against all forms of illegalities in general and crime in particular."
Culolo said his office would "continue to guarantee legality in general and from that perspective, it will maintain its role in the prosecution of fraudulent and negligent violations of the juridical norms in force, including abuses of authority and the press."
The statement followed a meeting between Attorney General Culolo and the secretary general of the Angolan Union of Journalists, Avelino Miguel. During the meeting, Miguel stressed that working conditions for journalists in Angola had deteriorated in recent months.
Despite Culolo's encouraging response, Angolan journalists continued to be harassed and intimidated for doing their jobs. The October 4 arrest of Folha 8 editor William Tonet was one of many incidents in an apparent government campaign to silence Tonet and his newspaper for daring to cover Savimbi and the UNITA movement.

Point-to-Point Tunneling (PPTP) offers 128-bits encryption but it is ultra fast, highly recommended for online gamers. When tier-1 VPN connectivity is coupled with fastest encryption protocol (PPTP), it gives you are remembering gaming experience. Layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP) is the second one, it has 256-bits encryption – not as quick as PPTP but considered much secured due to high level encryption. Our recommendation is to use the most popular OpenVPN protocol throughout (except you are gaming) – it has ultra high encryption of 256-bits and optimum speed.

Luci May always feels so horny whenever she dresses up in girlie clothes, and as it was a hot summers day, she dressed in a short top and skirt she had bought for specially for such an occasion.
Luci was thrilled with her sexy outfit and decided to put on some suntan oil to cover up the parts that were exposed, but she went a bit further and ended up rubbing that oil over her legs, thighs and her trannie cock which had become very stiff by now.
That oil was so slippery she could even put a metal cock ring over her erect cock and balls so they we budging in their sac. This was fun – all covered in oil and having that ring tight around her ball-sac, her cock stiff and proud, it felt sensual and kinky at the same time.
Luci applied even more oil to her asshole and taking her didlo, worked it up her ass. Oh it felt so good, it slipped up quite easily with all that lubrication and she enjoyed the sensation of it stretching her hole wide, imagining it was a cock fucking her trannie ass as she pumped her fist over her throbbing prick.
Enjoy seeing more of Luci's inventive wanking and kinky bondage sessions on her personal website Luci May.

Later, a tall white guy, who was dressed like a farmer, got onto the bus during one of the stops in Belize. This man, whom I did not get to meet, sat next to Nicholas. The man said "When you get to Belize City get to your room. Make sure you get what you need right away and get back. Stay in your hotel after dark." Nicholas, Alena, and I looked at each other. The man then said, "Belize City is not safe at night."
And there it was...the dark cloud over the city. The tone had been set.Read More

Over the last month, it's very possible you've heard the name Julien Baker. Her debut album, 'Sprained Ankle' was released at the end of October on 6131 records, and in short order found itself a place as Stereogum's album of the week, and found Julien an opening gig with El VY and Wye Oak in NYC. These fortunes are most certainly not undeserved.
Since being pointed towards the album, I've listened to it in it's entirety perhaps 50 times. Perhaps more. While Pitchfork draws droll, somewhat misguided comparisons to Dashboard Confessional & Morrissey (there are undoubtedly echoes of Chris Carrabba), with each listen I was distinctly reminded of Bon Iver's 'For Emma Forever Ago'. Not so much in substance, or lyricism, but in the urgent sense of necessity in the recording itself.
In the long, winding narrative of Justin Vernon's now-famous self-imposed seclusion in the woods of Wisconsin, there was a constant reminder that the recordings that became 'For Emma' were borne out of an absolute need. A need to write different songs, to shake ghosts and memories and sorrows.
I'm acutely aware of that same haunting urgency in Baker's album, but it is approached and unraveled from a distinctly different perspective - that of a still-a-teenager exorcizing years of confusion, mistakes, questions. It is deeply marked by sometime naive, sometime wizened yearning for answers, coupled with an acceptance that those answers may never really come.
I knew I was wasting my time/
Keep myself awake at night/
Whenever I close my eyes/
I'm chasing your tail lights/
I love this album. Wholeheartedly, and unabashedly. It captures a sense that isn't quite nostalgia - more so vivid memories of being 18, sitting in my car at 3 AM, wondering where the world would take me next, feeling heartened by a sense that as I stared at the stars the Universe was so much bigger than I would ever imagine. It captures countless heartbreaks, myriad morning-afters, and an inescapable sense of self-doubt that I think haunts us all at various points in our lives.
But at the end of it all - there's a solidity, a willful resilience, a reassurance, for Baker, for me, for every listener in their own way. As Vernon howled - "what might have been lost (don't bother me", Baker sings:
"but i think there's a God and he hears either way/
I rejoice, and complain/
I never know what to say"
While neither album ever emerges truly triumphant, or satisfied - there is no victory - there is a sense of tranquility, of gratefulness. There is a sense that the questions that needed to be asked were asked, and that at least some answers might have been found.
I have listened to 'For Emma' thousands of times. I imagine I will listen to 'Sprained Ankle' nearly as many.
Julien Baker will be on tour in January, and 'Sprained Ankle' can be purchased here for a whopping $5. Watch an OurVinyl session of 'Something' below:

The concepts of community design are inclusive of rural and urban community development. They are intended to create, enhance and promote a quality of life of a community. Community design encompasses the overall development pattern of Nez Perce County, creating its visual character.
Nez Perce County's visual character is determined by the natural landscape, the arrangement of structures and land uses on the land, the development of incorporated cities, and the composition of land parcels. Land use regulations such as the Nez Perce County's zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance have the greatest influence on the visual character of Nez Perce County.
The conversion of existing agricultural and/or forestlands to residential uses has been the most influential type of development in the county. This type of development is anticipated to continue over the next 20 years. This conversion takes place through the subdivision of property. "Subdivision" is the process by which land is divided into smaller parcels or legal units for development or sale, and may include the development of access to such parcels by the construction of roads or streets.
A subdivision usually consists of a number of lots and/or blocks served by a street or network of streets. Subdivisions often provide for the establishment of utility systems, for the supply of water and the disposal of sewage and storm water. Lot sizes may range from 6,000 square feet to a number of acres. In an urban setting, or often time within a city's area of impact, street systems are usually paved, with curbs and gutters as well as sidewalks and street lighting.
In order to encourage the proper development of rural lands, special requirements and procedures should be included in the applicable county ordinances and other implementing measures. This minimum development standard should serve to ensure that new roads meet county minimum standards of grade or construction so they may be dedicated and maintained by the county road department. These standards should also serve to ensure that newly constructed water and sewer systems are adequate for future lot purchasers.
Managed land development through subdivision regulation can be an effective tool in preventing residential sprawl and substandard developments, and in reserving agricultural lands for genuine agricultural production. County land use and subdivision regulations should be written to manage future land development so that it reflects the character of the county desired by its citizens. Cluster type development and planned unit development regulations may be used as effective tools within the county's subdivision and zoning ordinances. These specific regulations, when carefully drafted, can help to ensure that residential and commercial development is designed to complement Nez Perce County's treasured rural character.
Goal Statement:
To maintain Nez Perce County's rural character.

Portrait of a Fugitive. Deposed Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych Flees/
KIEV, Ukraine - Days following a truce announcement which ended the bloody riots which rocked the Ukrainian capital, news outlets are reporting that the ousted leader is in fact now a fugitive.
As the sign held by the protesters to the right depicts, deposed President Viktor Yanukovych's flight into hiding came just hours before a warrant was issued for his arrest. By fleeing, Yanukovych conferred upon himself a dubious honor, as he joins the ranks of fallen leaders who failed to heed the voice of the people.
Leaders who may have transitioned from power with dignity, but chose to resist compromise, a position which ultimately paved the way for their own destruction.
Courtesy of the Global Post, recent despots who retreated in ignominy are listed below:
- Nicolae Ceaucescu, Secretary General of the Romanian Communist Party (1965 – 1989)
- Saddam Hussein, deposed President of Iraq (1979 – 2003)
- Muammar al-Gaddafi, Libyan Dictator (1979 – 2011)
- Hosni Mubarak, deposed president of Egypt (1981 – 2011)
- Ben Ali, deposed President of Tunisia (1987 – 2011)
On Friday, 21 February 2014, after meeting with opposition leaders, President Yanukovych, announced that he had signed a peace deal. However, it appears that shortly after closing the deal, Yanukovych recognized the writing on the wall and chose to flee into hiding.
There is speculation that Moscow, a once staunch supporter of Yanukovych during the deadly three-month standoff which resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, recognized the futility of its calculated bid to bring the ex-Soviet nation back under its control. Yanukovych must have realized that he had lost both their confidence and support, and this may have been a deciding factor in his decision.
The peaceful uprising that turned violent earlier this month was triggered when Yanukovych under pressure from Russia, opted to cease political and trade deal discussion with the EU, in lieu of a $15 billion bailout to Ukraine from Russia. Ukranian citizens viewed this as a subversive effort by Russia to undermine Ukraine's growth toward increased democracy.
Most Ukranians believed that this financial dependency would erode decades of political autonomy, economic expansion, and democratic freedoms realized since gaining their independence in 1990. Russia's offer of financial support was, in the opinion of most, a bid to once again impose a draconian style of rule reminiscent of the Soviet Union.
During the violent unrest, Moscow publicly decried the "treasonous" activities of the opposition, yet stopped short of sending military support to keep Yanukovych in power. When Yanukovych acquiesced to the opposition's demands, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev immediately put distance between Russia and Ukraine by declaring that his government could not have full ties with a leader who was being tramped on like a "doormat." The unrest in Ukraine is seen as a potentially destabilizing influence that could adversely impact Russia's interests.
It would seem that Yanukovych's inability to suppress the opposition through any means necessary, no matter how heinous or distasteful, has been interpreted by the Kremlin as "biting the hand that fed him." A new Ukrainian leader has not been appointed, and at this point Russia views any interim government as illegitimate. It remains to be seen if Moscow will honor its promised financial support or abandon all efforts to manipulate this sovereign nation back under its control.

It was a collection of beautiful sculptures, mostly heads like the one pictured, done in bronze, copper and terracotta, and dating from as far back as the 12th century.
