Das Whirling Wszystko
In 1945 in Oppeln there was a woman who used to please herself
to Van Ostaijen's poetic corpus
– ah, el poeta, de welbeminde nam
de schaar
ma per favore, aspettiamo il risultato
as the process was forever whatever ongoin'
– the ceiling in Niechcic
to jest dobra manga, the only full sentence I was allowed
to replicate
bedsheets change equal to niemożliwe
on 13 June, BRUDness da last of his concerns
collision, chance meetings with Das Weiblich
by the toaleta/bathroom
pierogi sałatka, one is the mishmash of them books
we brought in several kosze, non-paid, libraries disgraced
by remont
let's wait for the result tho'
another sweaty morn, roommates glued onto
the Whirling Wszystko causing
their pants and dusty patches to be left in unpredictable lugar
depilation waste – The Sign of The Female – polluting
shower, kuchnie, kuuurwa!, kuchnie
crumbs onionskin empty packages the eternal oil-stained
scraps of blabbing że nie mogę rozumiec, alas
but never go to the unblessed city of Berlin
where thou shalt be terrorized &
painfully relocated
more than anything else smart writings on the walls
fascinate me
czekamy, czekamy, everything shalt be undecided
the woman told me,
and then she was looking carefully, watching intently
the faces, the gestures,
the never-ending flood
everybody in the world has a relative in my ridiculed Country
Writer and translator, some of his poems and short stories have appeared in manifold Italian collections and anthologies. In his bachelor's thesis he showed how Hugo Claus' The Sorrow of Belgium might be regarded as a ferocious and grotesque counterpart of Joyce's Portrait. He also translated Patrik Sampler's short story "Kansai Airport" into Italian. Interviews with writers and artists, translations and album reviews are regularly posted on his bilingual blog "Leisure Spot": http://leisurespotblog.blogspot.it.
He wrote Das Whirling Wszystko and a handful of other bizarre cross-language poems while staying in the small but lovely city of Opole in Poland.

A new audio streaming service from Al Jazeera aims to make it easier for people in the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia to access news on their mobile devices, despite data constraints and slow internet connectivity in those regions.
The web app, launched today, is a live audio feed of Al Jazeera's TV output and is currently available in English and Arabic.
Taahir Hoorzook, manager of digital distribution at Al Jazeera, told Journalism.co.uk the organisation's broadcast content is "highly rated" on TV networks in Africa, for example, but digital news consumption is still low by comparison.
"One of the things we've identified as the cause of that is slow internet connectivity, which is a problem for a video service, so we are trying to deliver the lightest possible version of our content to these markets," he said.
"Radio is a very big way in which people are consuming media on their mobile devices in Africa, as well as in parts of Asia, like India and Pakistan, so we think mobile is going to be the biggest space for [the service]."
When users access the stream, they can listen to the programme that is being aired at the time, but they can also browse through a list of series and documentaries that will become available in the coming weeks.
Screenshot of Al Jazeera's live audio streaming service on mobile
Hoorzook said this is a "mirror" of the television schedule, which could encourage people to come back to programmes they want to listen to throughout the day.
"For documentaries and programmes that are very visually strong, it may be difficult to get the full message across.
"But if we get positive feedback on the news elements of the discussion programmes, which are not necessarily very visual, we will definitely focus on getting audio-specific content up and running."
The new initiative is targeting listeners on a variety of mobile devices, from phones with basic features to Apple and Android smartphones, as well as people who spend a considerable amount of time commuting by car or public transport.
"As a loyal Al Jazeera listener or viewer, you may want to watch a particular programme at that time, but you don't have access to television," Hoorzook said.
"So now, people will be able to just pop their phone in their pockets and listen to it."
He said Al Jazeera will be promoting the new service across the website, apps, social media and TV, to encourage people to listen to discussion programmes, but also to breaking news bulletins.
"We want to make it as simple as possible for people to access Al Jazeera news wherever they are, in the most affordable way possible.
"And I think that if we can deliver a very cheap internet stream that is reliable and consistent, we will see a considerable pick up on mobile devices in those regions," said Hoorzook.

BOSTON — The central figure in the college admissions cheating scandal is William Singer, 58, a Newport Beach, Calif., businessman who prosecutors say managed and profited from the cheating scheme.
Mr. Singer, sometimes known as Rick Singer, has been cooperating with federal investigators since September 2018. He pleaded guilty to four charges in federal court in Boston on Tuesday.
[Read more on the Justice Department's largest ever college admissions prosecution]
A tan, lean-faced man with close-cut gray hair, Mr. Singer sat very still and looked intently at the judge, Rya W. Zobel, as she explained the charges and detailed the rights he was giving up by pleading guilty. He answered, "Yes, ma'am" whenever the judge asked him if he understood.
When the judge asked Mr. Singer to describe his role in the plot, he became expansive, speaking for about 10 minutes about his methods.
[The college admissions scandal has raised a lot of questions. We've answered them here.]
He spoke of arranging for students to take their SAT or ACT exams at sites in Houston or Los Angeles where he had bribed test administrators. The students thought they were taking the tests legitimately, he said, but his proctor would correct some of their answers afterward to make their scores come out exactly how Mr. Singer wanted.
He bribed college coaches, he said, to falsely certify that students had been recruited for the school's sports teams. Prosecutors said he also falsified ethnicities and other biographical details in some cases, to take advantage of affirmative action.
[Read more here about how the authorities say the scheme worked, from bribes to doctored photos.]
Mr. Singer also described how, after he became a cooperating witness and was told he could not talk to anyone about the investigation, he tipped off several families that his conversations were being recorded by the authorities and warned them not to incriminate themselves.
He was released on bail and left the courthouse after the hearing in the company of his lawyers. One of them, Donald H. Heller, said on his way out of the courthouse that Mr. Singer was very remorseful and intended to fully cooperate.
"I'm sure there will be more things coming out," Mr. Heller said. "I can tell you he's a very stoic person, but this has been very emotional for him, dealing with this, because his whole life has been working with kids getting into college, and it got out of control."
Here are some key points about Mr. Singer, from court papers, statements by his lawyers, past news coverage and a biographical sketch on a company website.
The for-profit business: Mr. Singer owns the Edge College & Career Network, also known as The Key — a for-profit college counseling and preparation company offering families help in getting students into competitive colleges and universities. He also owns some related businesses.
The nonprofit organization: Mr. Singer established and runs the Key Worldwide Foundation, which purports to be a charity and which prosecutors say was used to disguise the true nature of payments from parents.
The charges: One count each of racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice.
His bail: Mr. Singer was released on $500,000 bond. Eric S. Rosen, a federal prosecutor in the case, said it would be secured by property in California belonging to Mr. Singer's brother. Prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of many of Mr. Singer's own assets and those of his businesses and the foundation under federal racketeering laws.
His admission: "Everything that Mr. Rosen stated is exactly true — all of those things, plus many more things I did," Mr. Singer said in court on Tuesday, referring to a summary of the accusations given by Mr. Rosen.
What he was selling: He called it a "side door" into college, one that was sure to open. "If I can make the comparison, there is a front door of getting in, where a student just does it on their own," Mr. Singer said in court. "And then there's a back door, where people go to institutional advancement and make large donations, but they're not guaranteed in. And then I created a side door that guaranteed families to get in. So that was what made it very attractive to so many families, is I created a guarantee."
His career: Mr. Singer started as a teacher and athletic coach, and founded his first college counseling business, Future Stars, in Sacramento in 1992, according to a 2005 profile in The Sacramento Business Journal. He sold it a few years later and worked for a time as an executive managing call centers, then started another admissions counseling business, The CollegeSource, in Sacramento in 2004. He also helped to develop an online high school that was sold to the educational services company Kaplan. He published a book of advice about getting into college in 2014.

Federal authorities detailed their charges against William Singer, the central figure in the college admissions bribery scandal, in a court filing known as an information.

1 Note on illustrations topenlarge
Throughout this treatment option illustrations of generic fracture patterns are shown, as four different types:
A) Unreduced fracture
B) Reduced fracture
C) Fracture reduced and fixed provisionally
D) Fracture fixed definitively
2 Principles of modular external fixation topenlarge
The modular external fixator is optimal for temporary use. It is rapidly applied without need for intraoperative x-rays and can be adjusted later.
Details of external fixation are described in the basic technique for application of modular external fixator.
Specific considerations for the tibial shaft are given below.
Teaching video

3 Patient preparation topenlarge
This procedure is normally performed with the patient in a supine position.
4 Safe zones for pin placement topenlarge
For safe pin placement make use of the safe zones and be familiar with the anatomy of the lower leg.
The pin in the distal tibia should be placed far away from the extensor tendons on the medial side.
5 Pin insertion (tibial shaft) topenlarge
Drilling a hole in the thick tibial crest may be associated with excessive heat generation and there is a risk the drill bit may slip medially or laterally damaging the soft tissues. As the anteromedial tibial wall provides adequate thickness for the placement of pins, this trajectory is preferable. A trajectory angle (relative to the sagittal plane) of 20-60° for the proximal fragment and of 30-90° for the distal fragment is recommended.
Alternatively, in order to avoid the frame catching on the opposite leg, the pins may be placed more anteriorly. The drill bit is started with the tip just medial to the anterior crest, and with the drill bit perpendicular to the anteromedial surface (A). As the drill bit starts to penetrate the surface, the drill is gradually moved more anteriorly until the drill bit is in the desired plane (B). This should prevent the tip from sliding down the medial or lateral surface.
6 Frame construction / reduction and fixation (tibial shaft) topenlarge
Reduction and fixation
Restore length with a bolster behind the knee to give slight flexion.
Plating of the fibula
In order to add further stability to the reduction, a fractured fibula may be plated.
Pearl: Prevent plantar flexion contracture
In patients with severe soft-tissue involvement, it may be helpful to add a pin in the foot (one of the tarsal or metatarsal bones) to maintain the ankle at a 90° angle and prevent a plantar flexion contracture.
The pin may be inserted in either the navicular bone, in one of the cuneiforms, in the first metatarsal base, or in the first and fifth metatarsal base, and connected with a rod to the tibial external fixator. Care should be taken to insert the pin bicortically and to avoid the intra-articular spaces.

The National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) has summoned public servants to a meeting next Wednesday to discuss outstanding pay issues.
This follows a move by Government to grant Ministers of Government and other senior officials a pay rise by reinstating the ten per cent which was cut from their salaries in 2014.
NUPW spokeswoman Delcia Burke told Barbados TODAY this afternoon that Wednesday's general meeting, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the union's headquarters at Dalkeith, St Michael, will discuss proposals for a wage increase for the over 20,000 Government workers who have not had a pay increase since 2010.
She said the union would not go into details on the proposals at this stage, since it wanted to first update members.
However, NUPW President Akanni McDowall has already rubbished the Government's move to up MPs' salaries at this time.
He has been joined by outspoken General Secretary of the Unity Workers Union Caswell Franklyn in blasting the tabling of a resolution to restore the ten per cent to Government ministers, Opposition parliamentarians and other senior public officials.
"The major unions in this country must be compelled to put their members on the street to demonstrate against this abuse of power; if they do anything less it would be a travesty. They need to put the people on the streets and let the Government know that we are not standing for this. I will support them," said Franklyn, who yesterday labelled the move as "selfish and uncaring", while warning that it would not be tolerated.
In a statement issued Thursday evening, General Secretary of the Barbados Workers Union Toni Moore said the BWU would also be summoning a meeting of its members in the public sector on Tuesday, May 24 at Solidarity House at 4 p.m., in anticipation that wage negotiations with Government would commence in short order.
The NUPW also said it was awaiting a date for the start of such negotiations.

Wonder how we got into this mess? You may have heard your grandmother say something like "bad things come in threes." Well, Granny wasn't kidding. Call them what you will, the threesome of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, but check out this article, "U.S. endorsed Iranian plans to build massive nuclear energy industry, Cheney Rumsfeld & Wolfowitz behind Iran Nuclear Program initiated during Ford Administration" on Global Research.Ca (Center for Research on Globalization) by Ed Haas.
In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford signed a directive that granted Iran the opportunity to purchase U.S. built reprocessing equipment and facilities designed to extract plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel.
When Gerald Ford assumed the Presidency in August 1974, the current Vice President of the United States, Richard B Cheney served on the transition team and later as Deputy Assistant to the President. In November 1975, he was named Assistant to the President and White House Chief of Staff, a position he held throughout the remainder of the Ford Administration.[1]
In August 1974, the current Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld served as Chairman of the transition to the Presidency of Gerald R. Ford. He then became Chief of Staff of the White House and a member of the President's Cabinet (1974-1975)[2] and was the Ford Administration's Secretary of Defense from 1975–1977.
The current President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz served in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under President Gerald Ford.[3] Wolfowitz is considered as a prominent architect of the Bush Doctrine, which has come to be identified with a policy that permits pre-emptive war against potential aggressors before they are capable of mounting attacks against the United States.
[1] The White House, Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/, [Accessed March 4, 2006]
[2] United States Department of Defense, Biography – Donald H. Rumsfeld, http://www.defenselink.mil/bios/rumsfeld.html, [Accessed March 4, 2006]

And there we thought Gerald Ford's administration was dull! Little did we realize that the boys were already setting things up. They just needed a front man! It would be interesting to count the "threes" we've had to deal with since the 2000 election.
This is a lot like the Rumsfeld/Saddam connection that Julian Borger wrote about on Tuesday December 31, 2002 in The Guardian, titled "Rumsfeld 'offered help to Saddam'", "Declassified papers leave the White House hawk exposed over his role during the Iran-Iraq war."
I could state the obvious, that here are two glaring examples of geopolitical hypocrisy, but I'm sure you are already there.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!
–Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17. Scottish author & novelist (1771 – 1832)

Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as dead plant and animal material, animal dung, kitchen waste, manure, sewage, municipal waste and greenwaste. Bio-gas comprises primarily of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), moisture and siloxiles. Methane is one of the contributors to global warming.
To support sustainability efforts and rural development programs by using bio-gas as fuel, Cummins is manufacturing and supplying gas powered generators which are specifically designed to operate on bio-gas, sewage gas, agricultural waste bio-gas, land-fill gas, all of which have lower or variable energy contents. It not only helps in reducing the impact on our environment but converting bio-degradable waste to energy is also cost-effective.

I must have met Masimba, appropriately, at Love Movement. I say must have because, though I don't quite remember ever meeting him (in my mind, he's just always been there, an integral part of the city's scape and air and life and sound, a role occupied by but a few special ones in Toronto), the man put up some photographic evidence:
He snapped this in the basement of Alto Basso on College Street, late in the summer of 2003. I have only a vague recollection of this moment: Love Movement's resident DJs Fase and Nana hamming behind the decks, me posted up with a Heineken in hand, smiling at them over my shoulder, not realizing I was included in the shot. When Masimba posted it to social media some years ago, I admit to feeling some combination of touched and horrified. The photo is not flattering, y'all, but it was from an important time. I was 21 and had just landed home for the summer, back from a semester abroad in Madrid where my Cuban rapper/DJ neighbours in Lavapiés and I would spend afternoons talking music and race, and weekends dancing til dawn. One of many worlds to navigate. Back in this other world of Toronto, I spent a short summer sneaking out of my (strict, immigrant) parents' house to hit rap shows, open mics, and weeklies all over the city, often rolling solo because I didn't yet know many people who were also into the music I loved. I didn't yet know myself, either. I'd only recently started to DJ (that didn't last long), started to co-host a hip hop campus radio show (neither did this), and started to freelance for music magazines (my first-ever published review, unpaid of course, was for an Oddities 12-inch I purchased myself). One of Masimba's friends wrote last week that, pre-Drake, the Toronto rap scene was like a family. The distant sweetness of nostalgia makes me inclined to agree. I was the chubby, frizzy-haired Portuguese writer girl at the rap show, screwfaced, shy, and happy to be there. Nobody made me feel like I didn't belong. The basement of Alto Basso filled every Monday night with unfamiliar faces that, over time, became friends, nods of recognition became hugs, and some friends eventually became family.
To look through Masimba's FB albums is to journey through recent Toronto hip hop history. Jokes and candid moments from places that don't exist anymore or are called by other names: Bamboo, IV Lounge, Movement Culture parties hosted by Sandra and Noah. He captured Fatski's million-and-one variations on the b-boy stance, TT's finger-in-di-air holler, Nehal cheesin, and El looking like the coolest cat in the room from absolutely every angle. Sa'ara B's electric smile. Big Tweeze in his classic lean. DJ Serious on the decks. I love all of these photos.
These were the days of street teams pressing flyers in your palm for the next show as you walked out of the last one, and Georgie Porgy pushing CDs on the corner, all: Do you like real hip hop? The days of shows at Revival and B-Side and The Comfort Zone and The Big Bop and The Hooch and NASA, Planet Mars (before my time still), Peachfuzz, In Divine Style, Never Forgive Action, Cell Division mixtapes. Of making pause tapes to the Mastermind Street Jam on Energy and Real Frequency on CKLN. Of spotting people in Equinox199 'Balance' and Too Black Guys t-shirts. In the winter, a Big It Up toque on every head's head.
Then there was the Sagittarius Coolout. I think I looked forward to Masimba's birthday more than my own, to those sweaty dance tangles and happy-to-see-you! reunion vibes that cut through winter's alienating chill. I look back so fondly on those nights, even as we've all changed, moved, grown older, and grown apart. I've missed the Coolout the last few years, rolling back into town for my holiday visit a week too late, but I was counting on returning to Toronto early this December. I hoping to catch up on hugs and cut up a dance floor with my people again. Hoping. Was.
It's been two weeks since Masimba left us to join the ancestors, since the flurry of long-distance calls and messages, since heartful tributes from friends and strangers flooded my timelines. This lovely man who called me young lady or sis, a brother to so many, he himself went by DJ Son Of S.O.U.L., and his presence was love. Revisiting photos and memories, reconnecting with dear ones I'd lost touch with, all of us mutual and willing victims of time and geography, has filled me with gratitude. This aspect of his legacy lives on. Of course, then there's the music.
I posted a tribute back in 2008 to DJ S.O.S. and his birthday fête, including a link to one of his sets. I'll happily re-share it here: The Sagittarius Cool Out 2007, Parts One & Two. The download will be live for the next week, so play it, laugh loudly at the ad libs, throw a finger in the air, dance. If you come around late, hit me up and I'll gladly post it again.
This isn't a eulogy — there have been too many this past year. Instead, this is a hug. Along with music, hugs are one of the sweetest gifts and most healing blessings he bestowed, and so I'm offering up the biggest, warmest, most open, joyous one I can muster.
Hugs for the past and future journeys, for yours and his and mine, for wherever they may take each of us, whoever may join us, whatever may come. Hugs whenever we may cross. Hugs for magic. Hugs for peace and love. Hugs honouring where you're from, for the people who made you, for forgiveness, hugs for knowing yourself. Hugs to hold up the ones who need them. Hugs to celebrate dreams coming to life. Hugs to try harder, be better. Hugs, just because.

Paris—Kering SA, parent to Gucci, today reported a steep decline in its first half profit as its luxury and sporting goods brands face a toughening economic environment and from discontinued operations.
Kering, formerly known as PPR, posted a net profit of 173 million euros (about $228.39 million), or 1.37 euro a share, compared to 477 million euros, or 3.79 a share, in the same half last year.
Earlier this year Kering said it planned to focus its business in luxury and sporting goods sectors, and sold off its Fnac books and music retail chain. Included in today's earnings was a loss of 388 million euros from discontinued operations.
Still, the company's "recurring operating income advanced 2.3% to 843 million euros (about $1.1 billion) in the six months ended June 30. Analysts had predicted 824 million euros.
Total net sales rose 1.4% to 4.68 billion eurors. Total second quarter sales rose 1.6% to 2.31 billion euros (or 5.2% excluding currencies and acquisitions.)
Kering said its sport and lifestyle division, which includes Puma, is amid a transformation that will extend into next year.
Solid Performance by Directly Operated Retail
"Kering delivered a solid performance in the first half of 2013, with revenue up 4% on a comparable basis and further growth in operating margin. The Luxury Division continued to deliver robust growth, gathering momentum in the second quarter and powered by the solid performance in its directly operated stores and its mature markets," said François-Henri Pinault, chairman/ceo." The contraction in the Sport & Lifestyle Division's sales is in line with our forecasts for the full year. Puma, now under the management of Björn Gulden, is continuing its transformation program."
Revenue in Kering's luxury division rose 5.3% in the first half to 3.08 billion euros, as sales growth crept up to 6% in the second quarter from 4.5% in the first.
By brand, Gucci, which accounts for about 57% of the luxury division's sales, posted a 1.6% increase. Comparable sales at Gucci rose 4.1%. Bottega Veneta had a 8.4% increase in sales and Yves Saint Laurent was up 14.2%.
"The positive momentum supporting the growth of the group's Luxury division should be extended to the second half, as each of the division's brand targets the optimization of its distribution, notably through the selective expansion of its directly operated store network," Kering said. "Trends recorded in the first six months of 2013 should continue in the second half. In this context, the group maintains its goal of improving its operating and financial performances in the full year."
Analysts speculated that the showed sales in Kering's luxury division reflected a downturn in sales, particularly in China. In addition, the shift in luxurygoods has been toward higher-end brands, the so-called "absolute luxury" which continues to rise.

Roxborough is a neighborhood in the Northwest Philadelphia section of the United States city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is bordered to the southwest, along the Schuylkill River, by the neighborhood of Manayunk, along the northeast by the Wissahickon Creek section of Fairmount Park, and to the southeast by the neighborhood of East Falls. Beyond Roxborough to the northwest is Montgomery County. Roxborough's zip code is 19128. Most of Roxborough is in Philadelphia's 21st Ward.[1]
Most of modern day Roxborough was once part of Roxborough Township, which was incorporated into the City of Philadelphia following the passage of the Act of Consolidation, 1854. At this time Roxborough was the home of the area's wealthiest; the owners of the Manayunk mills. These mills didn't just produce anything from textiles to plastic containers, they also produced exuberant fortunes for the mill owners, much of which was funneled back into the community. This money went into building schools, parks, and even a large Victorian manor built for the area's elderly women, The Roxborough Home for Women.
The commercial spine of the neighborhood is Ridge Avenue, which runs along the ridge between the Wissahickon Creek and the Schuylkill River. Most businesses are located on Ridge Avenue and most residents are within walking distance to it.
Roxborough is well-connected to Center City Philadelphia with multiple bus routes and bike lanes reaching the river and downtown area of Philadelphia. SEPTA's Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail line stops in the Wissahickon section of Roxborough, continues through Manayunk, and stops again at the Ivy Ridge station in Roxborough.
Philadelphia University and St. Joseph's University are nearby. Its tree-lined streets and front lawns make it a "greener" part of Philadelphia, similar to a suburb.
Henry Avenue runs parallel to Ridge Avenue from the border of East Falls and North Philadelphia, to Andorra where it merges into Ridge Avenue. Constructed in the 1930s, it was extended in 1959 from Roxborough Avenue to Andorra, and includes several concrete arch bridges. One of these bridges, the Wissahickon Memorial Bridge which crosses over the Wissahickon Creek and Lincoln Drive, includes a pair of box tunnels under the roadway designed to carry an never built extension of the Broad Street Subway into Roxborough.
Because of the Wissahickon Creek and the park which protects much of its watershed, Roxborough and Manayunk are physically separated from the rest of the city. Much of lower Roxborough, consisting of "row homes" and homes dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, has a historic, urban character.
Roxborough abuts the Wissahickon Valley Park portion of the Fairmount Park system. The park's numerous trails are used by cyclists, runners, walkers, dog owners and mountain bikers. Another important park is Gorgas Park, located on Ridge Avenue. The park is one of the many landmarks in Roxborough to have the namesake of the financially generous, affluent Gorgas Family. The Park has gone through significant renovations over the past two decades. Renovations which have turned the once dilapidated, unkempt, and overgrown Gorgas Park into the manicured neighborhood center it is today.
The north-west section of Roxborough is often considered a separate neighborhood called Upper Roxborough. Much of the development in this area occurred after 1950, and has a suburban character: larger front lawns, garages, and shopping centers. Local news sources have been known to incorrectly refer to Roxborough as a suburb of Philadelphia.
Since the 1950s, most of Philadelphia's major television and FM radio stations have located their transmission towers in Roxborough because of its hilly terrain and high elevation. Public television station "MiND", once called "WYBE", is also located in Upper Roxborough, close to neighboring Andorra.
The Upper Roxborough Historic District and William Levering School are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
The area of Roxborough was likely named for Roxburghshire, Scotland, the original home of Andrew Robeson, one of the very first settlers of the area.
In 1676, Andrew Robeson, his wife Elizabeth, and his nephew Andrew Jr. came to America from Scotland where Andrew Sr. became Surveyor General for 300,000 acres of land in Southern New Jersey where he presided as Judge in Gloucester County. In 1690, Andrew Sr. moved to Philadelphia and purchased an estate located in the area that is known today as Roxborough, roughly where the on and off ramps for City Line Avenue and Lincoln Drive are.
Andrew Sr. became Chief of Justice in Pennsylvania until he died in 1694. He was responsible for making Roxborough a township in 1690.
The Robeson family is known to have originally come from Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland. Roxburgh (pronounced Rocs-burr-ah) was a small region in the southeast of Scotland until it was changed to the region of "The Borders" in 1975; the town of Kelso still remains as a historic Scottish village though.
In 1706, a German philosopher named Johannes Kelpius who lived in the woods not far from the Robesons wrote about "foxes burrowing in rocks" in the area. A correlation between the phonetic spelling "Rocksburrow" that many resident Germans applied to the Township, and Kelpius's "where foxes burrow" letter of 1706, convinced many that the township's origins related to foxes.
Kelpius popularized his spelling of the township, but not long afterward, the spelling was changed to its current form.
The Township could have retained The names "Manatawna" or "Leverington", as they were popular names the area was referred to as in the 1690s and early 1700s, but thanks to the popular writings of Johannes Kelpius, the name remained as Roxborough. Other spellings have also been noted in early writings as Roxbury and Roxboro.
School District of Philadelphia operates public schools. Its zoned schools include Shawmont Elementary, Cook Wissahickon, and Roxborough High School.
The Walter Biddle Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences, Lankenau Environmental Magnet high school, is in upper Roxborough.[3]
William Levering School, founded in 1748, closed its doors in June 2012.[4] Its building will hold a different school, AMY Northwest, a special admissions middle school (6-8).[5] AMY used to be located in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, in a rented church building.
The area has been one of the main feeder regions for Roman Catholic and J.W. Hallahan High Schools.
Free Library of Philadelphia operates the Roxborough Branch at 6245 Ridge Avenue at Hermitage Street.[6] The "Roxborough - Manayunk - Wissahickon - East Falls - Andorra Historical Society" also has an archive room in the Roxborough Branch. It is maintained by one of the Historical Societies' top members and one of the area's community leaders, Sylvia Myers.

The stylish nomadic renter: Millennials and Gen-Z
Oct 29, 2019 | By Maria Florencia Ameneiros
Oct 21, 2014
Design Academy Eindhoven has opened its home at the Witte Dame building once again this year for an inspiring and diverse graduation showcase that includes innovative material and process experiments alongside conceptual reimaginings of society and culture. Here are our top five projects from the show.
Wiktoria Szawiel's series Landscapes Within combines wood and rattan with frosted resin, creating beautiful vessels, tables and seats that look textured but are softly smooth to the touch. The collection is inspired by the Eastern landscapes Szawiel remembers from her childhood.
Joey Dogge has designed Yatno, a room's worth of furniture that can fit into a space of five metres squared. Yatno Satu offers storage, a bed, sofa, desk and chair, while accompanying structure Yatno Dua functions as a clothes rack and chest of drawers.
Eleonore Delisse has designed the Circadian Clock, which aims to reconnect our bodies with the cycle of natural light. A disc is set in a wooden frame, where it slowly rotates to cast different coloured shadows over the room during the course of a day. It is one of a number of projects at Design Academy Eindhoven this year that aim to rebalance office workers' lives, by putting them back in touch with natural light, tactile materials and healthier amounts of physical movement.
Rudi Boiten is showing One Yarn of Paint, a printing machine that outputs glossy paint, to create highly tactile floor coverings in geometric shapes. Inspired by weaving looms, the printer draws from pre-programmed shapes that are sent to it via laptop.
Sustain Ability by Stanley Sagart questions the short life cycle and swiftly decreasing value of physical products, presenting an alternative economic system in which one piece of furniture stays as valuable years into its use as it was when freshly created. The furniture is designed without screws or glue, instead using sheets of paper that wind up to create secure fastenings.
Homebuildlife subscribers will be able to read our full round-up of this year's best DAE graduation projects next week, alongside our coverage of the key trends and innovations from the whole of Dutch Design Week 2014.

One of the reasons why people who have the desire to lose weight are unable to stick to a diet program is because they also have a psychological resistance to losing weight. That resistance can be expressed in terms of three fears related to change in general and one fear related specifically to losing weight:
- Fear of the unknown. We don't know what might happen in the future if things change. We don't know how we might react. We're not comfortable with uncertainties. We like things to be predictable. We fear we might get hurt. So we resist taking that leap into the unknown and we stick with what we've got, even if it's making us miserable. ...READ MORE...

Complete list with commended authors
Complete list with commended
Christian Andersen Award
is the Hans Christian Andersen Award?
The Hans
Christian Anderson Award is the most distinguished prize in
children's literature and is often referred to as the "Little
Nobel Prize." The award is given to an author and an
illustrator, living at the time of the nomination, whose complete
works have made a lasting contribution to children's literature.
decides the winner?
International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) selects the
winners. Her Magesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark is the
Patron of the Andersen Awards, and the Nisson Motor Company supports
the Andersen Awards program.
section of IBBY may propose a candidate. The medal winner is selected
by an international jury (The Hans Christian Andersen Jury) composed
of the jury president, the president of IBBY and eight children's
literature experts elected by the executive committee of IBBY.
No jurer may serve more than two consecutive terms. To
alleviate the large amount of reading necessary to consider both
awards, they have split the duties so that currently the jury is
divided into five members to select the author and five to select
the illustrator.
did the award begin?
The Hans
Christian Andersen Award began in 1956 when they gave the first
author's award. In 1966, they began giving both an author and
an illustrator award. The award is given biennially.
Originally, the award was given for one specific work; now the
author's and illustrator's complete works are considered.
special criteria are used to select this award?
are judged on literary and artistic merit. Judges look for
exceptional aesthetic qualities in writing or illustration,
including treatment of plot, character, style, structure or language
and for a portrayal of universal themes with lasting human virtues.
Candidates who have been highly commended may be proposed again
after an interval of five years. During the first years, the jury
listed "runnersup," then "highly commended,"
and, in the last few years, "author or illustrator
finalist" for the books that were in the final consideration.
is it called the Hans Christian Andersen Award?
Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is recognized as one of the masters
of the fairy-tale genre. His writings encompassed fairy tales,
plays, novels and travel books.
does the award look like?

If you are interested in tools that are more advanced and flexible compared to a fixed-lens digicam, your next option will probably be DSLR cameras. Cheaper DSLR cameras usually come with what is called a "kit lens." This lens is often a zoom lens with a focal length range of around 18mm – 55mm. The major negative of a kit lens is that it generally is not able to take in as much light because it has a smaller maximum aperture throughout the zoom range of say f4 in the wide end to f5.6 in the telephoto end, whereas a better lens might be able to have a wider aperture of f2.8 throughout the whole zoom range. There also might be a few other negatives like lower absolute sharpness, more distortion, or more chromatic aberrations than compared to higher-end lenses.
An entry level DSLR with 18-55mm kit lens.
The jump from a kit lens to higher-end lens is considerable when comparing cost. While a kit lens might cost $100 – $200, a equivalent pro level lens could be from $500 – $1500. While those prices might sound insane now, once you catch the lens buying bug, it's a hard habit to stop and easy to justify such high costs.
There is nothing wrong starting out with a basic kit lens. You could even opt to never buy another lens for your camera and still be able to produce nice, yet most likely average images. If you have the cash, I would suggest a zoom lens in the standard zoom range that has a constant f2.8 aperture to get started. This will allow you some benefits such as the ability to produce a higher degree of background blur behind your subject, and a moderate improvement is overall quality throughout the zoom and aperture range.
A lens like that will also most likely have a larger range of higher sharpness thanks to higher quality glass and a larger initial maximum aperture, which allows the sweet-spot to increase. Buying a lens that starts at f2.8 will have a higher probability of being sharp at f3.5 than a lens which starts at f3.5. Just keep in mind that there are exceptions to any loose rules, so do your research on the specific lens you are interested in.
Most of the entry and mid-level cameras bodies these days are similar enough that it does not matter which brand you purchase from a quality standpoint. Look at the lenses offered for each brand to get a better feel of which might best suit your needs.
For example, Canon is best known for their high-end "L" zoom lenses and lower cost primes, whereas Pentax is best known for their all-metal "Limited" prime fixed-focal-length lenses and lower cost weather resistant lenses. A lot can be said for ergonomics, so if you can hold and try out a camera from each brand, that would better help you find a body that best fits your style of camera control.
To go along with the camera body, you should consider a "battery grip" that allows you to taking pictures longer before needing to switch batteries. The secondary, and more important reason, is that most battery grip designs allow you to hold the camera vertically with the inclusion of a secondary shutter release button. In a convention situation it is often in your best interest to shoot images vertically so that you can fit the whole person in your frame.
Besides camera body and lens, you should also consider a quality add-on external strobe flash. It attaches to the "hot-shoe" of your camera body to provide a more powerful and customizable flash of light compared to the built-in pop-up flash. Nikon is said to have an exceptional flash system, which should be considered when buying into a camera system as talked about before with lenses. Flash photography is a whole subset of technique and tools. I'll be going over aspects of that later in the book.

In AI research on explanation, the mechanisms used to construct explanations have traditionally been neutral to the environment in which the explanations are sought. Our view is that the explanation process cannot be isolated from the situation in which it occurs. Without considering the intended use for an explanation, the explanation construction process cannot be properly focussed; without considering the situation the process cannot act effectively to gather corroborating information. The emphasis of this research is to view explanation as a means to an end and in this work the end is the successful functioning of the system requesting explanation. We develop a model of explanation as a situated, utility-based, hierarchical, goal-driven process.

The Infrastructure-as-a-Service model of early Cloud Computing providers has focused on making the hardware layer consumable as on-demand compute and storage capacity. Stuart Charlton, Chief Software Architect for Elastra, will be giving a session on 'Cloud Computing and the Next-Generation of Enterprise Architecture' at SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo (November 19-21, 2008) - a pathbreaking adjunct to the 4th International Virtualization Conference & Expo being held at The Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA.
"This is an important first step," Charlton notes, "but for companies to harness the power of the cloud, it should enhance the alignment driven by enterprise architecture, driving down the lead times for delivering IT value to business, from concept to deployment, and through maintenance."
An architecture-aware cloud computing infrastructure, says Charlton, leads to IT services that are easily configured, deployed, dynamically-scaled, and managed in these virtualized hardware environments, while tied into business processes, data models, security services and the data center's service management, problem resolution, and compliance processes.
His session will discuss in greater detail how this new approach to infrastructure operates and how to increase both alignment and agility through it.
Charlton joins a star-studded lineup of speakers covering the hottest IT topic for years, with Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, HP and a host of others all offering, using or developing high-end computing services typically described as "cloud computing" - through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies.
Forrester Research analyst James Staten calls cloud computing "classic disruptive innovation - where the mainstream dismisses the product and small companies have time to create a real differentiated value." But there are so many offerings just now that what infrastructure architects are looking for above all is a set of organizing principles they can use to guide them in choosing between them all.
Such principles. and a host of associated Cloud topics, will be addressed in San Jose by:
- Dr Werner Vogels - VP & CTO, Amazon.com (Cloud Keynote)
- Reuven Cohen - Founder & Chief Technologist, Enomaly
- Mike Eaton - CEO, Cloudworks
- Jonathan Bryce - Founder at Mosso (Rackspace)

Thank you.
I agree. I really like the sometimes smelly and a bit sticky charm of genuine old pubs with real ale.
By the way, this photo was taken in the oldest pub in Uxbridge.

Set Up
I started with the Raspberry Pi Model B Board and starter kit and set it up as described in the Raspberry Pi User Guide. You can get the Raspberry Pi as a kit with a USB wifi dongle, keyboard and mouse, or on its own if you already have a mouse and keyboard.
I configured my Pi to run at 800MHz instead of the default 700MHz. I installed the Apache web server, and copied some web pages to Apache's root directory. My Pi is connected to my router with an ethernet cable as this will provide better performance than a wifi connection.
Next, I set up port forwarding in my router so that people can connect to my Raspberry Pi from outside of my firewall. I created an account with no-ip.com, a service which redirects a web domain to my IP address.
I've set up a blog where I'll go into more detail here.

'97 Grad. If you are not counting DR, never practiced. I disagree with that assessment BTW, but that's another discussion.
I looked for a "real" job as an attorney for 2+ years before doing doc review full time. By then I was so far behind I had no choice. Even during DR I continue to search for that unicorn - I mean "real" job. I can usually get as far as an interview about every other year or so, but it still hasn't happened.
At this point, looking for a "real" job as outside of law as I can afford while still owing 60K for law school.
The other is from "kansas", a long-time JDU participant, who had the following comment:
kansas (Mar 6, 2015 - 12:44 am)
I wish I had never practiced. I did though, was determined to do it. First: solo shop, split fee. He gave me every bad case that paid $500 up front, I got a few clients after the first year, but I made 13K in year 1 working 70 hours. Year 3, I told him I needed 36k plus a percentage of new biz, but then discovered he hadn't been paying the withholding for the staff (and me) and left. Corp temp for a while, shouldn't have left that probably. A disastrous stint as a state revenue agent (everyone in the remote office I was at was related, and trailer trash, except for me). Back to private practice, a small firm with ex biglaw-ish partners, $40k for me and 70 hours a week, no lie, and no client contact at all - they knew how it was done. Split for another little firm, a distant shirttail relative partner hired me. She died, I carried on for a couple years but the remaining partners decided to axe my practice area, they were PI litigators, I was RE and tax/regulatory, and they weren't ever going to make me a partner or let me develop the practice. So, solo. Did it for some years, it was always hard though I had a few decent business clients. Not enough unfortunately. Lot of small business tax controversy, and I can't recommend that, it somehow never ends up billing out. I managed to get a job with a company that does contracts management for a particular type of commercial real estate. It pays okay and I like the work. But not super stable, it's sort of boom and bust. I am applying for federal contracts mgt jobs like a boss. Wish me luck.

Think and design
An excellent mission critical infrastructure is made by an excellent lifecycle. This lifecycle is best explained by the basic Zentrys services; design, develop, operate and improve. Faults in designs may lead to issues in the other phases and result in outages, unmaintainable installations and unforeseen costs. Simplified design.
Developing mission critical infrastructures, such as data centers, have become an expert knowledge on it's own. Zentrys believes in an open source and honest approach wherein both end-client, owner/operator and contractors will benefit. Building development partnerships is what we do.
Zentrys operates mission critical infrastructures from .5 to 40 MW as a white label operator. We take care for a part or the entire operations on behalf of the client. As a part of this we invest in training, educating and improving our teams of 100% professionals. Important, because the operations phase can make a data center fail or succeed. It starts with operations.

'SA was legally obligated to arrest al Bashir'
Advocate David Unterhalter says the State is duty-bound to ensure crimes such as genocide don't go unpunished.
BLOEMFONTEIN - The question of South Africa's obligation to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its failure to act against Sundanese president Omar al Bashir is now in the hands of the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Judgment has been reserved after Advocates Jeremy Gauntlett and Wim Trengove came head-to-head to argue issues of national and constitutional importance.
The country's top legal minds battled it out in Bloemfontein today.
In June last year, the Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC) successfully launched an application to compel government to arrest al Bashir when he attended the African Union Summit in Johannesburg. However, the order was ignored.
The Helen Suzman Foundation has argued that the Constitution imposed a legal duty on the State to arrest the Sudanese leader and hand him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for prosecution.
Al Bashir is wanted by the ICC for genocide and crimes against humanity.
Advocate David Unterhalter said when applying the over-arching principles of the Constitution to legislation which gives immunity to heads of state, it is clear that South Africa was legally obligated to arrest the Sudanese president.
Unterhalter argued that such immunity is inconsistent with the Constitution, and the State is duty-bound to ensure crimes such as genocide do not go unpunished.
The SALC told the court that the provisions in the Rome Statute override the domestic law the state relied on not to act on the ICC's arrest warrant.
It further argued that any immunity which al Bashir might claim he has was waived by a United Nation Security Council resolution.
Earlier, Advocate Max du Plessis said changes in international law, such as the creation and adoption of the ICC, permitted the prosecution of sitting heads of state.
He said it was incorrect for the State to rely on international law to defend its failure to arrest al Bashir.
Advocate Trengove told the court that the adoption of the Rome Statute placed a legal obligation to act on an ICC warrant of arrest.
However, Advocate Gauntlett argued that the Immunity Act, which the state relied on, secured al Bashir's immunity.
He added that there had been no development in law that overrode this provision.

COS/MES comprises of Tokyo DJ's Flatic and 5ive, they were on beats in space a couple of weeks ago- so you are probs quite familiar with their stuff. The duo is widely regarded as one of Japan's most exciting up and coming disco acts with their unique psychedelic take on disco. After their BIS mix I wanted some of their tracks but noticed hardly any of it was distributed in Europe. Eventually i got a copy of their debut album "Sadistic Skatepark" after a crazy ebay hunt…it was worth the digg. Here is 'Ramp', a really melodic track that reminds me of some 80s experimental psy rock- which makes for excellent driving music. Pick up your slice of cosmic groove HERE, yes you can get it in the UK now! boom.
no download, sorry, get it there! support these guys over here so we can get more of their shiz
Also big probs to OKI-NI for going out there and stocking this stuff.

The Traffic Engineering and Planning Agency (TEPA) has prepared a PC 1 for the construction of a two-kilometer-long dual carriageway along the Mian Mir drain, linking Ferozepur and Multan Roads, said a TEPA official on Friday.
The officer said the PC 1 had been prepared a year ago, but the project was postponed because the Ring Road also had to pass along the drain. He said the road was not part of the Ring Road and therefore the chief secretary had asked the authorities concerned to prioritise the link road project.
TEPA chief engineer Khushhal Khan said the project was important for a smooth traffic flow on the two roads. He said Bahawalpur Road and Wahdat Road linked southern Lahore with Multan Road. He said Bahawalpur Road was short but narrow while Wahdat Road took comparatively longer to reach Multan Road. Khashhal said the construction of the dual carriageway would reduce the burden on Ferozepur Road and Multan Road in addition to provide an easy access to commuters between the two roads.
He said the road would be constructed on both sides of the drain and land would be bought where space was not available. He said there was no shortage of funds for the project as the government was willing to spend on the project. He said there was a shortage of construction material because several development projects were underway. Contractors were unavailable to take up projects, he said, adding that the TEPA itself was currently overburdened with several development projects.
Project to finish in current fiscal year: Khushhal said the project would be completed within the ongoing fiscal year, as the PC 1 had already been completed. He said funds would be available by November and work on the project would begin by early next year.

Beef Stew with Cabbage and Baby Lima Beans
Cabbage is a green leafy and very dense vegetable, rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and fiber which can provide you some cholesterol lowering benefits if steamed. It originated from Europe and became part of their cuisine as early 16th century. I am bringing this recipe a little different, I am using beef stew instead of pork meat.
- 1 pound beef for stew cut in small pieces
- 4 cups of shredded cabbage
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup tomato pure
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup baby Lima beans (frozen)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- black pepper and salt to taste
- 1/2 cup parsley chopped
Heat vegetables oil in a large saucepan. Add stew meat and saute until lightly browned. Add sliced onion and saute until they get a golden color. At this point add red pepper flakes, cabbage, tomato pure, white vinegar, bay leaf, salt and black pepper to taste. Add water just enough to cover the meat and the vegetables. Simmer on medium heat until meat and vegetables are tender. When served sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve warm with a slice of bread.

My childhood dream was to live in the wildest place in America, Alaska. For several years, I did just that as an employee of the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and North Slope Borough Environmental Protection office.
Actually, my first trip to Alaska was as an employee of a fish cannery near Naknek, in southwestern Alaska in 1979. (However, I didn't actually can fish; rather, I put salmon and herring eggs in freezers.) I later attended the University of Alaska at Fairbanks for a year and spent several summers working in Alaska during the 1980s.
During this period I spent two summers studying seabirds (one summer in the Semidi Islands and another in the Aleutians) and did two stints monitoring bowhead whales near Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost community in the United States. Other national wildlife refuges I worked at include Arctic, Nowitna and Yukon Flats. While working for the state, I spent one summer in western Alaska (working out of Bethel) and another summer in Prince William sound.
In addition, I worked as a volunteer during two winters on projects involving sea turtles in Michoacan, Mexico, and manatees in Florida. One summer found me working for the National Park Service at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, but not as a biologist.
It's hard to choose a single best experience or favorite place from my experiences in Alaska. Camping on a hill carpeted with blueberries near Wonder Lake, with a priceless view of Denali (Mt. McKinley), is something I'll never forget. Cruising the Inside Passage aboard an Alaskan ferry is also an unforgettable experience.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was probably the most spectacularly beautiful work site I've ever known. I saw my first wolves and a muskox there. The most exotic locales I visited were Katmai National Park's Valley of 10,000 Smokes (where I saw a wolverine), the Aleutian Islands and the landfast ice of the Arctic Ocean off Point Barrow. The combination of wind, rain and fog made the Aleutians the most challenging environment, with sea otters, active volcanoes and World War II memorabilia as added attractions.
One of my most memorable experiences was stumbling across an ice-enclosed pool near Barrow occupied by two bowhead whales while accompanying bioacoustics researcher Christopher Clark, who took the photo on the left (below). But my first encounter with a polar bear was even more exciting.
Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge was a treat because of the numerous wolves that inhabited the area. It also introduced me to the fossils of Ice Age mammals that are so abundant in parts of Alaska.
northern amazon
But the biggest surprise was Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge. I was initially dispirited because of the extraordinary bureaucracy in the main office in Fairbanks, as well as the refuge itself, which was simply bleak. As the name suggests, the Yukon Flats is an enormous flatland on the south side of the Brooks Range. After flowing through a mountainous area, the Yukon River spills onto this forested plain, turning it into a vast swamp.
(See a bigger picture)
In the Land of the Midnight Sun, the water soaks up sunlight, slowly heating the entire area. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Alaska is 100° Fahrenheit in Fort Yukon, the largest community in the Yukon flats.
In other words, the Yukon Flats is HOT and muggy, with hordes of mosquitoes. It's essentially one big swamp — and not a terribly picturesque one, with the stunted trees one would expect so far north of the Arctic circle.
My first trip to the refuge itself ranks as one of my most miserable experiences in Alaska. We spent most of our time huddled inside a flimsy building, as bored as we were uncomfortable. My last trip was even harsher.
Two of us were sent out to survey waterfowl. To navigate the wilderness, each of us pulled a lightweight plastic canoe. We would have been most comfortable wearing nothing but shorts. Instead, we wore rubber hip waders and long-sleeved shirts and head nets to protect us from mosquitoes. We carried fairly heavy backpacks, with binoculars slung around our necks and shotguns slung over our shoulders for protection from bears.
We also had to pull our plastic canoes, which frequently got jammed between the stunted trees. We could take off our T-shirts and wring out what seemed to be enough sweat to fill a water bottle. And that still wasn't all.
The woods were filled with at least two kinds of hornets, one which nested in trees, the other on the ground. The tree nesters were the worst, because their hives always seemed to be at eye level. I never knew I was in trouble until I heard a buzzing sound just inches from my face, inevitably followed by a sting. Freezing and searching in vain was a mistake. I learned to instead run away as soon as I heard that warning buzzing.
One wouldn't want to seek safety in the swamp water; I recall a pond that was teaming with leeches. One day, I heard a tiny sound and looked down to spy a small frog with one leg nearly severed by a dragonfly nymph. We also discovered a bear trap — with a severed bear's toe. The Yukon Flats can be a truly hellish place.
To my surprise, I enjoyed that trip, which turned into an adventure. The hornets were small, and their stings really weren't that painful. We were also fortunate in that the Yukon River ran through our first plot. We could jump in for a refreshing swim, and the mosquitoes weren't such a nuisance when a slight breeze wafted along the riverbank.
Nor was the Yukon Flats as ugly as I had at first imagined. The woods were threaded with extensive flower patches, typically curving along former river channels.
The final touch was fire. As I recall, Yukon Flats is the most heavily burned area in Alaska. We saw several fires from the air, and one was burning uncomfortably close during our last day on the refuge. The alien vegetation, insects and smoke suggested a different planet or period of time. I would not have been terribly surprised if a dinosaur had come crashing out of the woods.
Rising above the smoky arctic Amazon in a helicopter is one of my last memories of Alaska.

Have you ever wondered why some people are constantly at the gym and yet have nothing to show for their effort? They visit the gym on a daily basis, but still after months they look no different.
Common muscle building mistakes that should be avoided in order to gain the body you want.
Lack of Rest - Among the most common muscle building mistakes is lack of enough sleep and rest. Muscles grow when individuals are asleep.
Over-training - Even if you get enough rest, over-training will still hamper your muscle building efforts. This is because an overworked body is easily damaged. Therefore, during rest the body concentrates on repairing the affected body tissues and muscle ligaments instead of building muscles. So limit your workout sessions and not overwork your body
Nutrition - While training to build muscles, individuals are supposed to ensure they eat a balanced diet, which contains a high percentage of proteins.
Fluids - it is advisable to drink water before, during and after the workout sessions. This is because while training individuals lose a high percentage of their body water.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
I want to make a 2 page app.

Page 2: Takes the URL from the form on page 1 and pops it into an iframe in page 2
Im guessing that somehow the URL on page 1 has to be passed into the URL as a variable and sucked into page 2 between the iframe tags.
Can anyone show me how to do this? Thanks so much.
