CNOD – CMOS Night Observation Device
CMOS Night Observation Device is a high definition sight that enables its operator to see in the day (bright sun) as well as low light (night) with high contrast and high resolution — two functions in one device, at a fraction of the cost of similar systems currently on the market.
The CNOD is neither an Image Intensified nor a Thermal System; it is a Digital System. As a digital system (without intensifier tubes), CNOD allows operating in environments where there are constant changes in brightness situations: urban environments, special operations, entry into buildings… thanks to the quality of its sensor, the operator does not lose the quality of the image at any time. In addition, CNOD allows you to take pictures and capture video in standard formats.
It can be deployed in three ways:
- as a hand held monocular
- as a clip-on in line weapon sight
- as a stand-alone weapon sight.
CNOD NII – Near Infrared Illuminator
CNOD NII is a light emission source designed to operate in conjuction with the CNOD platform. This new accessory allows the operator to sight a target at 1000 meters in zero light conditions, as claerly as daylight.
CNOD NII operates at 980nm within the band of the CNOD's 500-1080nm spectrum, the operator remains undetectable to most counter-operative night vision technologies.
Currently there is no Image Intensification Night Vision Sight or Thermal Sight on the market that can perform all these functions. Proven Technology. Trusted Experience.

As a veteran of the San Diego Comic-Con International, I was anxious to see how the Star Wars Celebration event would differ. But mostly I was just stoked to be at a celebration in the year that the highly anticipated The Force Awakens comes out. Like most cons, there was a ton of energy and excitement. Being restricted to just one genre, there was much less cosplay than other geek conventions. Seeing trailers, R2-D2's, running into JJ Abrams, and of course all the cosplay were some of the great highlights. Below is a sampling of some of our pictures, you can check out our Star Wars Celebration Pinterest Board for many more.

Let's Build Something!
Face it, electronic books are fine for fiction, but when it comes to plant care or DIY (Do It Yourself) I want a real printed book with pages that I can mark, text that is easy to refer back to, and plenty of pictures to stimulate my imagination and show me what a project or plant should look like when done or grown. Steps along the way are nice too. With this in mind, here are three books with many great ideas of things to make for your outdoor space.
You can purchase these books from your local independent bookseller like Antigone Books or Mostly Books – both in Tucson (on Small Biz Saturday!). If you don't live in Tucson, check out this site for independent booksellers near you. You could also buy these books online from the publisher (on Cyber Monday) links provided.
Garden Builder by Joann Moser (Cool Springs Press) offers 35 really nifty projects to make from copper, wood, concrete and more. The book is divided into decorative elements, planters, small projects (like drying racks – I NEED these!) and large projects (like a bench for sitting). The book has great photos and step by step instructions for the beginner and advanced builder alike.
The Complete Book of Outdoor DIY Projects by P. Swift and J. Szmanowski (Creative Homeowner) offers 35 projects in stone, brick, wood, and water. (What is up with this 35 number?) I appreciate the break down into how many hours it might take, from 2 hours to 2 weekends (to give cement time to cure). Some lovely and easy ways to turn your landscape into comfortable garden to enjoy. There are easy projects for the beginner!
She Sheds by Erika Kotite (Cool Spring Press) offers ideas for "Your own little piece of heaven." The idea behind a she shed is that instead of tools, this is a place for the lady of the house to get away and practice her art, or craft, or garden, or simply just get away and relax. The book encourages you to consider "What's your shed style" and then offers ideas for converting sheds, or building one from scratch, to meet that style. The gallery of images is a delight!
If you live in Southeastern Arizona, please come to one of my free lectures. After each event I will be signing copies of my books, including "Month-by-Month Guide to Gardening in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada" (Cool Springs Press, $26).

Regular price
Coffee, chocolate, brownies - what's not to love? If the back-to-school season has come a little more quickly than in years past, our Pick Me Up Bundle is here to get you through it. Six of our Nibby Brownies, two packs of our Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans featuring a blend of Methodical's Guatemalan and Costa Rican coffee beans, plus one each of our 73% Guatemalan and 80% Costa Rican chocolate bars - for 25% LESS than they'd be if you bought these goodies separately!
Our signature brownies have a dense, moist crumb and a crispy crust. We've folded in roasted cacao nibs, the heart of the cacao seed from which we make our chocolate. This adds the texture of nuts, while keeping the flavor all chocolate.
Our Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans have been a long-standing French Broad Chocolate favorite. The coffee from our friends at Methodical Coffee are a blend of beans from La Pastora, Costa Rica, and Ixlama, Guatemala. The Costa Rican coffee comes from the Coope Tarrazu cooperative group in the San Jose province of Costa Rica, representing over 3,500 partners in the province and committed to the welfare of those partners and their communities. The Guatemalan beans are the culmination of work by over 100 family producers in the Guatemalan municipalities of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad in the department of Huehuetenango, a region known for rugged landscapes and high elevation. The beans are the perfect vehicle for our handcrafted chocolate and the perfect snack for nibbling at home, sharing with your favorites, or keeping all to yourself.
Our 28g Costa Rica 80% chocolate bar connects us deeply to our roots. Dan & Jael lived in the cacao-rich jungles of Costa Rica for two years, where they opened a small café, called Bread & Chocolate. Daniel South was brought on as a dishwasher, eventually being trained as Head Baker. Now Daniel has returned to his agricultural roots as a cacao processor, cultivating cacao on his farm and buying the seeds from his neighbors. He ferments in wooden boxes made from trees felled on his land, and exports cacao directly to French Broad Chocolate. This two-ingredient chocolate has an earthy aroma with a flavor profile ranging from chocolate wafer cookie and transforms into tart raspberry.
Lastly, our 28g Guatemala 73% chocolate bar offers flavors of concord grape, fresh-baked brownies, and almond butter. The cacao contained in this special bar comes from deep in the foothills of northern Guatemala in the village of Rocjá Pomtilá, a settlement of Maya Q'eqchi' who cultivate cacao, cardamom, and maize. Their cacao has only recently become commercially available, thanks to the efforts of a truly extraordinary organization, Uncommon Cacao. The audacious proposition of Uncommon Cacao is that with education, organization and fair treatment, the cacao farmers can substantially improve their livelihoods.
All of our confections are completely free of corn syrup.
Allergens: Made in a facility that handles tree nuts, wheat, milk, eggs, peanuts, and soy

From the Head of the Crowther Centre – Dr Ray Swann
Planting the trees that you will never see
It was with great pleasure that we hosted James Kerr this week at Brighton Grammar. On Monday evening, over 600 members of our community came and heard his keynote about building culture. Earlier that day, James had run sessions with the Prefects and Student leaders, the School Executive as well as the Sport Coaches.
Part of James' message is that there are three keys to building a team that he has observed time and time again: having both humility and humour, striving for excellence, and building respect. He described how so many of the members of high-performing teams, be it the All Blacks, Team GB or Manchester City, wanted to leave the club better than how they found it. He described how Richie McCaw (a famous New Zealand Captain) wanted to not only be the best number 7 (to pay respect to those that had gone before), but how he wanted to raise the number 7 up for those that came after him. This was a very similar message to Australian of the Year David Morrison's message delivered at BGS a few years ago of being a leader right now, respecting the past, and planning for the future.
When you listen to James speak, it is easier to see how effort and striving are connected to purpose. By wanting to 'be' more, we then draw others into the story. By committing with effort, we clearly demonstrate purpose.

Introduction Is war necessary? This question divides people. There are reasons to support both sides ofthe issue. War is seen by most as a measure that should only be used if there is no other alternative. Some would argue that war should be an offensive strategy because if we perceive a country as a threat, we should be able fight them. And the others point out that war should never be used. Only diplomatic resolutions should be used. But no matter what opinion one may have on the issue, it seems that war is inevitable is our world. Throughout the history of the human race, we have been at conflict with each other because of our differences and failure to cooperate with each other. Is war ever justified? How would you argue? Take a look at the Iraq War for example. Saddam Hussein was a mass murderer who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of his own people. He tried to attain chemicals to make deadly weapons and failed to listen to the United Nations. The only alternative in this situation was to take him out of power. Even though this is a controversial issue, it seems that no matter what anyone says, war will happen and we have to realize that. The reality of the situation. Why is war evil? It kills people and destroys nations. Why is war good? It gives us a positive outlook on the future and allows us to be able to look over our mistakes. The human race has been embroiled in conflict since our first days.
The Effects of War Here are some other relevant figures. Our country sent more than two million men and women to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 6,500 of them are dead. Tens of thousands were physically injured, including some 1,500 amputees. Iraq and Afghanistan were minefields, literally and metaphorically, rife with improvised explosive devices, or I.E.D.'s. Of the two-million-plus Americans who spent time there, studies suggest that 20 to 30 percent have come home with post-traumatic stress disorder. Depression, anxiety, nightmares, memory problems, personality changes, and suicidal thoughts: every war has its after-war, and so it is with the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, which have created some five hundred thousand mentally wounded American veterans." Pause here for a few seconds. Take that in. Half a million Americans carry around a darkness they didn't used to, because when our country went to war, they, unlike most of us, actually had to go. There is also the financial strain of military engagement. There's the wrath of nations that disapprove of it and the possible repercussion from terrorists. With Syria, each of these has been discussed. Freedom is not free!
The American Revolution • No one knows exactly how many people died in the American Revolutionary War, but eight years of fighting took a terrible toll. An estimated 25,700 Americans died in the war. Over 8,200 Americans were wounded. Some were left with permanent disabilities. The British military suffered about 10,000 deaths. • Many soldiers who survived the war left the army with no money. They had received little or no pay. Instead of back pay, the government gave some soldiers certificates for land in the West. Many men sold that land to get money for food and other basic needs. • Both the Congress and the states had borrowed money to finance the conflict. The war left the nation with a debt of about $27 million—a debt that would prove difficult to pay off. • Those who supported the losing side in the war also suffered. Thousands of Loyalists lost their property. Between 60,000 and 100,000 Loyalists left the United States during and after the war. Most of the Loyalists went to Canada. There they settled new towns and provinces. They also brought English traditions to areas that the French had settled. To this day, Canada has both French and English as official languages. • The Revolution had been a civil war that left both Patriots and Loyalists with bitter memories. Patriots found it especially difficult to forgive the former American general Benedict Arnold. In 1780 Arnold had betrayed his country by trying to turn over an American fort to the British. Throughout American history, the name Benedict Arnold is used to mean traitor.
The American Revolution • The American Revolution divided Americans along social, religious, and ethnic lines. New England and Virginia had many Patriots. Loyalists were numerous in cities, New York State, and the South. Judges, councilors, and governors tended to be Loyalists. Many Loyalists were clergy or members of the Church of England. Some Quakers were active Loyalists, although many were pacifists—people opposed to all war. The Patriots drew support from Congregationalists, Presbyterians, and Baptists. • Most Southern states did not allow African Americans to enlist. They feared that armed African Americans might lead slave revolts. In contrast, the British offered enslaved persons their freedom if they joined British forces. Many slaves ran away to fight for the British. In the North, however, about 5,000 African Americans served in the Continental Army. • The American Revolution was the largest Indian war in American history. All Native American nations east of the Mississippi were caught up in the fighting. Some Native Americans, like the Mohawks, joined the British because they feared Americans would take Native American land. Others, who lived within areas settled by the colonists, sided with the Americans.
In Summary • Many of the participants of the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, assumed that victory over the British would be easy. In reality, it was George Washington, who stated the campaign would be long and difficult. • The War was fought on several fronts. America formed the Continental army with the support of France. While Britain relied on German mercenaries and Irish troops. • Following early American successes at Lexington Concord and the Battle of Bunker's Hill, the British left Boston by sea. In early 1776, the British General Howe arrived with 30,000 men, moved down from Canada towards New York in an attempt to surround New England. This march, however, met with disaster, and 5,700 British, German and Loyalist troops under the command of Major General John Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga. • The remaining British forces retreated from Philadelphia to New York and, believing the slave-owning colonies more supportive of British rule, concentrated their campaign on the south. In 1781, the Americans with support from the French secured Chesapeake Bay and the British forces surrendered at Yorktown (October 1781), destroying any remaining British hope of eventual victory.
In Legacy • The final Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, was signed on September 3, 1783. The Americans won favorable terms in the peace treaty: • The United States was independent. • Its boundaries would be the Mississippi River on the west, Canada on the north, and Spanish Florida on the south. • The United States would receive the right to fish off Canada's Atlantic Coast, near Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. • Each side would repay debts it owed the other. • The British would return any enslaved persons they had captured. • Congress would recommend that the states return any property they had seized from Loyalists. • Neither Britain nor the United States fully lived up to the treaty's terms. Americans did not repay the prewar debts they owed British merchants or return Loyalist property. The British did not return runaway slaves. • The Treaty of Paris led to boundary disputes with Spain and Native American interests • Native Americans who lived east of the Mississippi found themselves living within the boundaries of a new nation that was intent on westward expansion. Their lands were now at risk.
The New Nation • The success of the Revolution challenged the existing world order. For the first time a colonial rebellion against an imperial power had succeeded. This offered political reformers a chance to prove that republicanism, the idea that a country can be governed by the people, and without a king, could work. • The states also realized early on that they needed a national government, if only to conduct the war. By 1777, the Continental Congress had drafted a plan: the Articles of Confederation which gave very limited powers to the central government—little more than waging war and signing treaties. • People also began to see a conflict between slavery and the ideal of liberty. • Defining Religious Freedom for many Americans, central to the ideal of liberty. People such as James Madison and Thomas Jefferson called for a "separation of church and state," meaning that the state should not be involved in religious affairs. • In 1777 Thomas Jefferson proposed his Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. In it, he claimed that people have a "natural right" to freedom of opinion, including religious opinion. Later, it became the basis of the religious rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. • The great challenge that lay ahead was how to remain united as a nation of independent states, despite regional and religious differences.
Declaring War • The Constitution of the United States divides the war powers of the federal government between the Executive and Legislative branches: the President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, while Congress has the power to make declarations of war, and to raise and support the armed forces. Over time, questions arose as to the extent of the President's authority to deploy U.S. armed forces into hostile situations abroad without a declaration of war or some other form of Congressional approval. Congress passed the War Powers Resolution in the aftermath of the Vietnam War to address these concerns and provide a set of procedures for both the President and Congress to follow in situations where the introduction of U.S. forces abroad could lead to their involvement in armed conflict. • The first part of the War Powers Resolution requires the President to consult with Congress before introducing U.S. armed forces into hostilities or situations where hostilities are imminent, and to continue such consultations as long as U.S. armed forces remain in such situations. The President must comply with any time he introduces U.S. armed forces into existing or imminent hostilities is particularly significant because it can trigger a 60 day time limit on the use of U.S. forces. • U.S. Presidents have consistently taken the position that the War Powers Resolution is an unconstitutional infringement upon the power of the executive branch. As a result, the Resolution has been the subject of controversy since its enactment, and is a recurring issue due to the ongoing worldwide commitment of U.S. armed forces.
MAJOR US CONFLICTS • American Revolution (1775–1783) Great Britain forced its 13 American colonies to pay taxes but did not give them representation in the British Parliament. • War of 1812 (1812–1815) British interference with American trade, impressment of American seamen, and "war hawks" in Congress calling for western expansion into British territory led to war. • Civil War (1861–1865) Economic and political rivalry between the South and the North grew into a civil war fought over slavery and states' rights. • World War I (1914-1918) This world war took place in the Middle East, Pacific, Atlantic, Europe, and Africa. 20-60 million people were said to be killed. • World War II (1939-194)Battlefields took place worldwide and it is estimated that 40-70 million people were killed. • Korean Conflict (1950-1953) located in the Korean Peninsula is said to of taken the lives of 2-3 million people were killed. • Vietnam War - From 1959 to 1975 in South East Asia, 2-5 million people were killed as a result of this war. • Afghan Civil War (1979 – present) in Afghanistan. So far, it is estimated that 1-2 million people have been killed • Iraq War - Ever since 2003 in Iraq, it is said that 90,805-1,200,000 people have lost their lives so far in this war.

Massachusetts Trucking Accident Death Lawyers
Attentive, safe driving is an incredibly important practice while on the road, especially for commercial truck drivers in Massachusetts. If a Massachusetts truck driver makes a mistake, the likelihood that a serious accident will occur increases greatly. Such accidents often cause severe, potentially fatal, injuries to victims in Massachusetts.
If someone you love sustained fatal injuries in a Massachusetts trucking accident, there are legal steps that you can take to fight for justice on behalf of your loved one. The skilled Massachusetts truck accident wrongful death attorneys at Crowe & Mulvey, LLP, are committed to helping you through this difficult time by proving you and your family with excellent legal representation. Contact us as soon as you are ready at (617) 426-4488.
Why Do I Need an Attorney?
When you have lost a family member due to someone else's recklessness, it is devastating. While seeking a civil remedy may not get your loved one back, it can bring you much needed closure and financial help during this difficult time. You may be dealing with feelings of grief while still having to worry about paying medical bills, funeral costs, and other expenses related to the accident. This can be especially difficult if the lost loved one was the primary breadwinner of your family. Monetary compensation will take that worry off your mind so you can properly grieve the loss of your loved one.
However, in order to be awarded this money, you will need to go through a complex legal process. First, you will need to be able to definitively prove that the truck accident directly caused the death of your loved one, which can be more difficult than it sounds. You will also need to prove that the truck driver or company's actions were reckless. Then, you will need to demonstrate that you deserve the full amount of compensation you are asking for, which will require placing a monetary value on the loss of companionship and support you are going to experience for the rest of your life. Finally, you will have to file all the necessary documents with the proper courts and negotiate with the opposing legal team. You may even need to take your case to trial.
In the immediate aftermath of your loved one's death, you should be mourning and supporting your family, not worrying about a lawsuit, but the unfortunate reality is that you don't have time to spare. The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Massachusetts is only three years. Because these claims can take a long time to prove, you don't want to wait to begin. Instead of compromising your own emotional wellbeing, leave the legalities to a lawyer. They can handle all the aspects of your wrongful death claim for you while you focus on your family and yourself.

Trucking Accidents and Wrongful Death
Commercial trucks can be particularly dangerous when they are involved in Massachusetts roadway accidents. When such an accident occurs as a result of a truck driver's negligence, the truck driver should be held responsible for their careless actions. The following are some common causes of truck accidents that result in wrongful death:
- Failure to check blind spots
- Driving under the influence
- Failure to yield
- Use of excessive speed
All of these behaviors among truck drivers can easily lead to an accident, and sadly, in many cases, such accidents claim the lives of innocent victims. All of these acts of recklessness are avoidable and senseless, especially when it results in the loss of a precious human life. Victims' families do not have to tolerate such an outcome quietly; an experienced personal injury attorney at Crowe & Mulvey, LLP, is ready to help your family at this time. A wrongful death claim can help you recover money for:
- Medical costs your loved one incurred before their death
- Final expenses, including funeral and burial
- Loss of financial support, for money they would have earned in the future
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of inheritance
Whether these damages are available for you will depend on the details of your case. Furthermore, only certain family members are eligible to file a wrongful death claim, including spouses, dependent children, parents in particular circumstances, and the executor of the estate. To find out what compensation might be available in your case and whether you are eligible to file a wrongful death claim, contact Crowe & Mulvey, LLP for help.

I've been a little down lately, when I should be up.
I need some sort of change, but I'm unsure of where that change will come from, or what it will be, but I need it.
Tomorrow I drive home for winter break. Three weeks of living under my parents' roof, of work, working at DSW, and not worrying about writing religion papers or doing VCT projects. I'm looking foward to the three week break from the usual drama of the University Film Organization. I'm also looking foward to making money again.
I need to find a job at school pretty badly.
The move to LA is going to be thrilling, but something may come up before that.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 29, 2012
Brett King, renowned author of BANK 2.0 and CEO and Founder of Movenbank, was this month named the Top Innovator of the Year for 2012 by American Banker in the Bank Technology News "Annual Innovators of the Year" edition. The "Innovator of the Year" Award is chosen by the editors of American Banker's Bank Technology News with input from a select group of experts in the field of financial services and banking.
BTN Magazine's 11th "Annual Innovator of the Year" edition honors the most creative, disruptive, and influential individuals in the banking world today. Brett was recognized for his vision of 'frictionless' banking, his work in encouraging reform in the consumer banking space, and for his work in developing a new financial health score called CRED, that utilizes social media as part of its credit and pricing decisions for consumers.
In the release of the Innovator's list for 2012, American Banker stated, "Our first choice, Brett King, stands out from the rest. He's one of the few who is not a banker, but… the disrupter company he plans to open this summer, Movenbank, will be closely watched by all in the industry."
Brett was one of the few non-banker exceptions in the group of financial services executives who were nominated as this year's group of innovators. The select group of innovators were cited as adding new elements, such as crowdsourcing, mobile innovation and context-aware computing, to more traditional financial services.
Brett commented, "It is an honor to be recognized by American Banker and BTN Magazine, and to join these distinguished leaders of the financial services industry."
Brett added, "The banking sector has traditionally been very slow to change, but we are now faced with rapidly changing consumer expectations, behavior and their desire for greater transparency. I think it is important, especially after the financial crisis, that the retail banking space emerges more responsive and connected to the needs of consumers. I'm proud to be a part of changing what banking means for the average consumer."
Movenbank is not your typical bank. Movenbank works with banking and payments partners, mobile operators, consumer credit groups, social media partners, merchants and many others to help consumers live smarter financial lives. Based in New York City, Movenbank is set to revolutionize the day-to-day banking experience in 2012 with the launch of the US' first mobile-direct banking proposition.

The final characteristic of deliberate practice is that it is not very fun. In fact, deliberate practice is explicitly designed to be stressful—you are actively trying to push yourself beyond what you are currently capable of doing. No one likes to feel unsuccessful, and yet deliberate practice sessions are engineered so that successes are few and far between. Once you've found success, deliberate practice doesn't let you stop to savor the moment; you keep repeating it with the same lazer-like focus until you can't get it wrong, or you move on to something even more challenging. The minute you stop pushing yourself and get caught up in the moment is the minute that you lose the critical faculties that make deliberate practice so transformative.
At the end of the day, this is the reason that deliberate practice is so challenging. The principles of deliberate practice are straightforward. The problem is applying them; you are deliberately stepping outside of your comfort zone, repeatedly, and ratcheting up the difficulty level as soon as your comfort zone expands. Properly done, deliberate practice is exhausting, mentally taxing, and endlessly challenging.
To be fair, there can be an elmenet of enjoyment in knowing that you are pushing yourself past your limits and in seeing an impossible task become manageable. However, the overriding emotion of deliberate practice is not joy. The kind of enjoyment that comes with deliberate practice is very different than the enjoyment of a great social dance or winning a Jack & Jill, and the successful practitioner needs to be aware of that difference so he or she can persevere through the challenge imposed by deliberate practice.
There are lots of books written about motivational strategies to carry through a practice routine, and future posts will examine some of those strategies. In the meantime, however, there is an important benefit from the challenging nature of deliberate practice. Put simply: not many people will persevere long enough to benefit from it. As a result, the window of opportunity is wide open for you to transform your own dancing to a higher plane.

Possibility of some nonlinear-like operations in quantum mechanics are studied. Some general formula for real linear maps are derived. With the results we show how to perform physically separability tests based on any linear contraction (on product states) that either is real or Hermitian. We also show how to estimate either product or linear combinations of quantum states without knowledge about the states themselves. This can be viewed as a sort of quantum computing on quantum states algebra.

Kew Gardens can provide Aidan O'Brien with a first ever victory in the bet365 Feilden Stakes at Newmarket tomorrow.
With the Grand National meeting at Aintree now out of the way, Flat racing can again take centre stage and this Listed contest is the main attraction on the opening afternoon of the Craven meeting at Headquarters.
Kew Gardens was not far off being top-class as a juvenile last season, running with credit behind esteemed stable companions Nelson and Saxon Warrior on a couple of occasions.
The Galileo colt enjoyed his day in the sun when winning the Zetland Stakes at this track in October and while O'Brien's runners invariably improve for their first outing of the campaign, Kew Gardens would surely not be making the trip across the Irish Sea unless he was ready enough to do himself justice.
Purser is very difficult to oppose in the British EBF bet365 Conditions Stakes.
John Gosden's charge was favourite for the Autumn Stakes in October, following a demolition job at Lingfield on his previous start, and while he came up short, he was far from disgraced in finishing third.
He blew the cobwebs away with a decent effort behind Kentucky Derby contender Gronkowski on the all-weather at Newcastle on Good Friday and although he must concede weight all round for his latest assignment, he should be up to the task.
History Writer is of interest in the second division in the Alex Scott Maiden Stakes.
The son of Canford Cliffs shaped with immense promise on his racecourse introduction at Sandown last September, faring the best of the newcomers in finishing third.
The form was subsequently boosted by the fourth, Emaraaty, who won next time before going on to contest the Dewhurst.
History Writer has not been seen since that initial effort and clearly his fitness has to be taken on trust.
However, his 2000 Guineas engagement suggests he is held in high regard and he will have to be winning this, and winning well, if he is going to be a realistic contender for the season's opening Classic early next month.
Veteran sprinter Move In Time gets the nod in the concluding Quy Mill Hotel & Spa Handicap.
It is over three years since the 10-year-old claimed Group One glory in the Prix de l'Abbaye and he is clearly not the force of old.
That said, his mark has fallen accordingly and his close-up third on his first start of 2018 at Newcastle last month suggested he is not done with just yet.
That was just his second start since joining Paul Midgley from Bryan Smart's yard and it could be that the change of scenery has given him a new lease of life.
Achill Road Boy won nicely at Carlisle less than three weeks ago and can strike again over the same course and distance in the 188Bet Handicap Chase.
Jumping fare also comes from Exeter, where Wizards Bridge is fancied to complete his hat-trick for Colin Tizzard in the Prydis Handicap Chase.
NEWMARKET: 1.50 Prevent, 2.25 History Writer, 3.00 I Am A Dreamer, 3.35 Purser, 4.10 Plutonian, 4.45 KEW GARDENS (NAP), 5.20 Mjjack, 5.55 Move In Time.
CARLISLE: 2.10 Mill Forge, 2.45 Rhymers Stone, 3.20 Fin And Game, 3.55 Achill Road Boy, 4.30 Derrynane, 5.05 Mister Kit, 5.40 The Very Man.
EXETER: 2.00 Master Tommytucker, 2.35 Corlay, 3.10 Wizards Bridge, 3.45 Clash Of D Titans, 4.20 Diamond Guy, 4.55 Irish Thistle, 5.30 Big Bang De Loire.
FAIRYHOUSE: 4.05 De Plotting Shed, 4.40 Msassa, 5.15 Not Many Left, 5.50 Karalee, 6.20 Sunsetstorise, 6.50 Asthuria, 7.20 Sizing Coal, 7.50 Tintangle.
Gordon Elliott continued his spectacular rise to the summit of the sport by saddling Tiger Roll to claim a thrilling victory in the Randox Health Grand National at Aintree. When Elliott claimed National glory with Silver Birch in 2007, having not even trained a winner in his native Ireland, few could have envisaged that little over a decade later he would be firmly established among the training elite.
Just in the last five weeks he has claimed the Leading Trainer Award at the Cheltenham Festival for the second time, broken records by going through the 200-winner mark for the season in Ireland and won his first Irish Grand National with General Principle.
He is long odds-on to claim a first Irish trainers' title later this month and has now joined a very select band to have trained the winner of the world's most famous steeplechase on more than one occasion.
Tiger Roll was a 10-1 shot off the back of claiming his third Cheltenham Festival success last month.
The eight-year-old looked set to run out an emphatic winner after cruising to the lead, but was all out in the end to deny the fast-finishing Pleasant Company by a head.

(RNN Texoma) - Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has sent a letter to the Oklahoma State Department of Health advising them to amend their rules they put in place related to medical marijuana.
In a letter sent on Wednesday, the attorney general said the role of the board in limiting the forms of marijuana products is limited to "to food and safety standards that are in line with food preparation guidelines, not prohibiting the sale of smokable, vapable, edible or other forms of marijuana."
"The current rules contain provisions that are inconsistent with the plain language of State Question 788 and the State Board of Health acted outside of its authority when it voted to implement them," Attorney General Hunter said. "Although I didn't support State Question 788, the people of the state have spoken and I have a legal duty to honor the decision made by the electorate. My advice today is made pursuant to that responsibility as attorney general.
"Moving forward, I encourage all stakeholders to engage with the legislative working group looking at medical marijuana to ensure they have their concerns and recommendations heard and addressed by the legislature."
In the letter, Hunter also said the board has been given authority to implement additional requirements on licensees related to their ruling requiring dispensaries to hire a pharmacist.
Other concerns outlined in the letter included:
- Restricting dispensaries to limited locations;
- Prohibiting dispensaries from co-locating with other businesses;
- Requiring medical marijuana be grown, processed and dispensed in enclosed structures;
- Requiring a surety bond for licensing;
- Setting hours of operation;
- Limiting the amount of THC in flower, leaf or concentrate for sale or distribution.

Fort Hunter Day 2017
In the remaining two weeks of fieldwork at Fort Hunter since our last post, our crew continued to excavate in their respective areas to the east and west of the milk house behind the mansion. Never a day went by without the archaeologists answering questions from the curious and inquisitive visitors to the park. How do you know where to dig? What are you finding? Did you have to go to school for that?
In the vicinity of the smokehouse foundation, artifacts were few and far between, suggesting that undisturbed soils with the potential to contain historic, and more optimistically fort period artifacts, had been all but exhausted through previous years' work in this area. Careful troweling of the remaining soil did yield a handful of glazed redware sherds, very small fragments of tin-glazed earthenware and scratch blue salt-glazed stoneware. With disassembly of the smokehouse foundation completed and samples of visually distinct stones set aside for thin sectioning and sourcing analysis, the excavation block east of the milk house has closed and is ready to be backfilled.
East block closing shot
Notable discoveries in the excavation units to the west of the milk house were predominantly prehistoric in age and included native pottery sherds, a few Late Archaic projectile points and a wide scattering of fire cracked rock.
Late Archaic projectile points (the asymmetry of the top specimen suggest it may have functioned as a knife)
Most of these artifacts were found in a thin band of soil roughly 2 feet below the ground that was once the original land surface, referred to as a buried A horizon, and the first several inches of soil directly underlying it, the subsoil, also called the B horizon.

A few fragments of the pottery recovered are sections of the rim of a vessel. Often decorated with varying patterns of incised lines and/or geometric shapes rim sherds are typically the most diagnostic portion of pre-contact ceramics. Seen below, the cord-marked horizontal and oblique lines on this sherd are indicative of the Owasco ceramic tradition which dates to c. 1000 to 1300 AD (Ritchie 1965). The ultimate in 3D jigsaw puzzles, there may be enough fragments to reconstruct upwards of half of this early fired clay container.

One unique find this season is what appears to be a medial fragment, or middle section, of the stem portion of a native ceramic smoking pipe. The fragment is also split lengthwise, providing an interesting cross-section of the bore hole through the stem. The clay pipe fragment also exhibits shell tempering which is a characteristic of ceramics from the Late Woodland Period.

Despite its underwhelming context of recovery (modern utility trench fill) this artifact retains some significance in that of the tens of thousands of artifacts collected over the course of 11 field seasons, this is the only one in the assemblage to represent prehistoric tobacco use. In whole form, the pipe may have looked similar to this example below from the Strickler site.
complete ceramic pipe from the Strickler site
What does any of that have to do with the French and Indian War one might ask. Admittedly, not much, with one important exception, that it does drive home the point that this area was a strategic position on the landscape for not just hundreds, but thousands of years. There were, however, a few artifacts recovered this season that do seem to hint at echoes from the fort period.
musket balls
gun flint
late 18th and 19th C. brass and pewter buttons
tin glaze earthenware (left), and scratch blue salt glazed stoneware (right)
These types of artifacts are intriguing, as they bare the signature of the fort period, and of the time before and shortly after, but unfortunately, due in part to the high level or earth moving activities in this particular section of the property, none were found in discrete contexts free from 19th and 20th Century material.

It's been said before, and it's worth repeating, our volunteers are awesome! They are pleasant to be around, helpful with any number of tasks, and sometimes bring food to share. The amount of work accomplished this season simply would not have happened were it not for our dedicated volunteers. A tip of the hat also goes to Dauphin County Parks and Recreation for their continuing cooperation and support. THANK YOU, to all who contributed in our efforts to uncover the past!
And a final reminder the Workshops in Archaeology program is just a short two weeks away:
The Archaeology Section of The State Museum of Pennsylvania invites you to attend the annual Workshops in Archaeology on Saturday, October28, 2017. This program is designed to provide the public with an overview of archaeological discoveries and research being conducted in the region. Papers presented at these sessions will focus on Ethnicity in the Archaeological Record as it can be identified at farmsteads, industrial sites, religious sites and other locations in Pennsylvania. By recognizing cultural markers of preceding populations in Pennsylvania, archaeologists are better equipped to under-stand the fluid cultural landscape of our country.

January 30, 2012 – As a fan of old movies, especially those in black and white, I probably spend more time watching Turner Classic Movies than HBO. I've seen hundreds of these oldies but goodies, yet none of them have been silent because the genre never appealed to me.
That's why I wasn't sure how I would feel about "The Artist", the recently released silent movie that's all the rage. Sure it took the Cannes Film Festival by storm, it won the Golden Globe for best picture (musical/comedy) and is nominated for an Academy Award for best picture. Still, I was skeptical.
I decided to see "The Artist" over the weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed this charming slice of nostalgia. It was clever and highly entertaining, and it held my interest from the moment it started until the credits rolled.
The premise is simple. Hollywood is on the brink of releasing "talkies" and the most popular silent actor (the artist) doesn't believe they will be accepted and continues to make films faithful his silent art form. You can guess what happens from there.
The two main characters are French and Argentinean actors whose previous work I am not familiar with; Jean DuJardin as George Valentin and Berenice Bejo as Peppy Miller are so well cast and have the perfect faces for their expressive roles. There are other faces more recognizable who make up the supporting cast, such as a svelte John Goodman, James Cromwell and Malcolm Mc Dowell, to name a few, and they all make it believable.
To my surprise (and as a writer to my dismay) you can get the gist of the story easily and without words. The actor's expressions, the music and very few screen shots of dialogue made it evident. And as someone who believes words are crucial to a script, "The Artist" shows what can be accomplished quite beautifully without them, and that is to the credit of the filmmakers.
The movie may be described as "Singing in the Rain" meets "Sunset Boulevard" with hints of both present in the script, but it was braver and uniquely different; it's actually a silent movie about making talkies. That's a risky concept and one that won't appeal to everyone, but I highly recommend it.
So, will I add silent movies to my lists of must-sees? Probably not, but I definitely won't avoid them anymore.

Stars are aligned / Selig puts official stamp on '07 All-Star Game at SBC
Home Run Derby is coming to San Francisco in 2007. Will it be tainted?
It's not the type of question Commissioner Bud Selig wanted to hear when he arrived here to officially announce the Giants will host the 2007 All-Star Game, but these days it's part of the job description. In his first public appearance since the contents of Jose Canseco's book were revealed, Selig sidestepped Canseco's steroid allegations and applauded baseball's new drug- testing policy.
"I think we've really addressed the problem, and that's all I can do," Selig said. "I'm not going to engage in talking about some claims people made."
Selig joined Hall of Famer Willie Mays, Mayor Gavin Newsom and the Giants' Peter Magowan and Larry Baer at a news conference at Willie Mays Plaza, announcing what has been known for months, that San Francisco will be next in line after Detroit (this year) and Pittsburgh (next year) to host an All-Star Game.
With or without Barry Bonds.
Bonds' contract runs through 2006, and it has been speculated the Giants wanted to wait until his retirement before hosting an All-Star Game, if only to maintain their season-ticket base. Traditionally, only season-ticket holders are guaranteed All-Star Game tickets, and fans might think twice about canceling after Bonds retires if it means securing an All-Star Game ticket.
But Magowan denied that was the club's motive, saying he petitioned four other times before getting the nod.
Still, a Home Run Derby along the shores of McCovey Cove without Bonds?
"I can't guarantee he won't be there," said Magowan, suggesting an extension isn't out of the question. "That's up to Barry."
By the way, fans who wait for '07 to buy into a season-ticket plan might be denied All-Star Game tickets. The Giants say they'll guarantee seats at the All-Star Game only to those with season tickets in '05, '06 and '07.
The five-day event promises to be a huge money-maker for San Francisco. From the opening of a fanfest at Moscone Center on a Friday to the game on a Tuesday, Newsom said it could "conservatively generate anything from $45 million to, I would argue, north of $80 million. When you bring 250,000 people into a city, the benefits to hotels, restaurants, taxi drivers and everyone else are significant."
While Selig rewarded the Giants, he had little to say about the A's, who are in the process of being sold to Lewis Wolff, Selig's old fraternity brother at the University of Wisconsin. Selig said he hopes the sale will be completed by the season opener, but added, "Lew's going to have to work his way through a lot of things."
Reiterating he won't allow the A's to move to San Jose because of the Giants' territorial rights to the area, Selig said, "We don't have anarchy in baseball. We don't change things. We don't move things around. The territorial rights situation is the same today as when I was first asked, maybe 10 years ago."
Canseco's book is to be released Monday, one week earlier than first planned, and he's to appear on the CBS television show "60 Minutes" on Sunday. In the book, Canseco reportedly tells of injecting Mark McGwire with steroids and shooting steroids with McGwire and Jason Giambi in a bathroom stall in the A's clubhouse. He also claimed he injected former Rangers teammates Ivan Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro and Juan Gonzalez with steroids.
Selig was more interested in talking about the new drug policy -- testing players year-round and penalizing first-time steroid offenders 10 days -- than Canseco's accusations.
"We've done now what we could do," Selig said. "We were told originally we didn't have a testing policy. We got one. Then we were told it was weak and toothless. Now we've done a lot more. I know there's some people who have been critical, but they're wrong. This is a good, tough policy. The fact the names will be out on the first (positive) test, it's tough enough. That's all the commissioner can do. That's all the sport can do."
Bonds is preparing to resume his pursuit of the all-time homers record while being linked to the BALCO steroid scandal, but Selig said, "What Barry has done is remarkable. Barry has done what nobody else has done. He deserves the credit he's getting."

Human Beings Sentient and Aware?
'What makes you think human beings are sentient and aware? There's no evidence for it. Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable. For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told and become upset if they are exposed to any different view.'

AbstractDissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2015.
Industries became a permanent addition to
 cities in the 18th century, transforming the
 natural landscape and influencing the people
 directly dependant on it, this enforces to the
 consumer culture we experience every day.
 This industrial development all over the
 world has disregarded apparent and non-apparent
 relationships that humans have within
 nature, resulting in the connection between
 humans and nature to become estranged,
 leaving humankind searching for identity and
 purpose.
 This study investigates the connection between
 humans and nature through adapting
 the post-industrial landscape, to ultimately
 establish an identity of place for human
 well-being.
 The study proposes that apparent and
 non-apparent relationships between humans
 and nature can be introduced in the post-industrial
 landscape through the concepts of
 ecosystem services and commemorative
 design. By commemorating the natural
 landscape, memories and experiences
 will create an appreciation for the natural
 landscape, strengthening the connection
 between humans and nature. Different
 ecosystem services are generated by the
 design to establish ecological and human
 well-being.
 The sketch plan design intervention proposes
 that, these apparent and non-apparent relationships
 between humans and nature are
 revealed and celebrated. The non-apparent
 relationships are transformed into apparent
 design features within the landscape to make
 visitors aware of their unity with nature and
 the services it provides them with. The
 design proposal creates opportunities for
 interaction, education and appreciation by
 means of food gardens, utility gardens,
 biodiversity gardens and experiments of
 spontaneous succession.
 The purpose of these interventions is to
 restore the post-industrial landscape while
 creating a strong cultural connection to
 heritage within industries and nature to
 reconnect humankind with their own identity
 as part of nature.

In Part One of The Problem with Biblical Literalism, I briefly spoke about the idea of Panentheism, or all-in-god. Not to be confused with Pantheism, or all-is-god, Panentheism is the theory that God exists within His creation, and His creation exists within Him. However, creation is not God. He exists outside of creation as well.
In other words, Panentheism claims God is immanent and transcendent.
Christianity also claims God is both immanent and transcendent. In practice, however, most Christians understand God only as transcendent – He created us and is separate from us. Immanence, or God's presence among us, is all but abandoned, or briefly mentioned in passing when discussing the Holy Spirit.
I have read a few Christian articles that denounce Panentheism as another tactic to distract us from Christ. I do not see it this way at all. In fact, the theory helps me better understand the nature of God.
A common metaphor Panentheists use is that of the mind-body relationship. I have expanded on this idea to incorporate Christianity.
The human body is necessary to live and experience, but our souls exist beyond its death.
God, the Great Soul, created the universe out of Himself as His Body – to experience and exist in tandem with His creation. His essence is within all things. While it enhances His existence, He is not transcribed by it – He does not require "the body" to be God. However, as long as "the body" exists, God is within it, just as our awareness is within our bodies until we die.
Sentient beings are like red blood cells, countless but necessary for the body to "live." Satan and sin are cancers. Free will gives the red blood cells a choice to flow for the benefit of the whole body or be infected by the cancer (turning away and denouncing God).
Christ is the cure, the immune system of mighty white blood cells. Each infected cell (all of them since original sin) now can choose to be healed, or stay infected. The healed cells may become re-infected but always have the option to be healed again. The cells that stay infected wither, and once dead, they are eliminated from the system, never to be a part of the body again.
That is what Hell is – a complete severance from God. It is a choice, and the result isn't a fiery inferno, but nonexistence. Since atheists already believe death is a metamorphosis into nonexistence, they get exactly what they expect.
Angels exist, too – they were created right before the body as the neurotransmitters, necessary for the mind to communicate and control the body. As I have mentioned before, they are the pathways, not the targets, and so cannot receive God's love as we do. The brain sends these "messengers" to tell the "body" what to do. In a sense, they are Christ's support, dictating to the immune system and other "bodily functions." While the mind/spirit/soul (the "trinity" of the brain) is aware of the body, it cannot itself travel to the kidney or liver or heart. The Father controls the body, angels execute the control, and Christ comes to us personally with the Holy Spirit to continuously heal.
I'll admit, this is not by any means a perfect metaphor, but I believe it is an appropriate one, as we were created in His image – not only do we have a trinity of mind/soul/spirit, but our bodies function the same way physically that His does metaphorically. "In His image" does not literally mean that He has some kind of physical form that mirrors ours.
The following article acknowledges how Panentheism could be compatible with Christianity, except that it "denies creation ex nihilo" –
Of course, I disagree. In fact, I believe Panentheism because it affirms creation ex nihilo – if God created out of nothing, then it comes to bear he created from only Himself, and therefore, the universe is His physical form – His body. How is this denying Genesis?
This theory brings God closer to us, and it is more effortless to have a relationship knowing we are part of His body. Olson does make interesting points about redefining what redemption and salvation mean in this context – how it might mean God is dependent on it, rather than it being a gift for us. This is why I agree with Martin Luther's "weak" Panentheism – God is, indeed, within all of creation, but He is not transcribed by it. He doesn't need it in order to be God.
We don't need our bodies, necessarily, but they are a blessing in that they allow us to experience and learn. As I mentioned in Part One of The Problem with Biblical Literalism, perhaps the all-knowing God wants to experience His existence through ignorant eyes, to see what His body/children see and create more from those experiences.
The following article explains Panentheism but refers to it as an "age-old heresy" and gets some facts wrong (I blame her source), such as "God is bi-polar," "God is finite," "Creation is ex materia," and "God is changing." These are tenets from pantheism, which dictates as the universe changes, God changes with it. This is not necessarily true of Panentheism.
Weak (Palamite) Panentheism replaces the idea of God's essence with "divine energies" that permeate the world and allow God's presence among us, without the possible interpretation that He is dependent on creation. It is more compatible with the Christian idea of God than what I have described here, and does not mesh as well with my metaphor, but it is enlightening for Christians and those investigating Christianity who are uncomfortable with how the faith tends to reflect deism and stoicism, which focus on God's transcendence and disregard His immanence.
Watch this video for more information on how weak (Palamite) Panentheism is compatible with Christianity:
God bless with mother earth's bliss.

The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community. School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school's aims and policies.
Furthermore, the governing body is responsible for the conduct of its school, and must promote high standards of educational achievement at the school. It is the school's accountable body and as such:
• provides a strategic view of the school by establishing a vision and setting the purpose and aims of the school within an agreed policy framework. It appoints and performance manages the headteacher, agreeing the school improvement strategy which includes setting statutory targets with supporting budgets and staffing structures;
• monitors and evaluates the work of the school by reviewing the performance of the headteacher, the effectiveness of the policy framework, progress towards targets, and the effectiveness of the school improvement strategy;
• signs off the self evaluation process and responds to school improvement service and Ofsted reports as necessary. In addition it holds the headteacher to account for the performance of the school and ensures that parents are involved, consulted and informed as appropriate, with information to the community being made available as required.
