Swine Flu H1N1 Situation In The Maldives And Travel Advice 2017
UPDATE: Few days back the Health Protection Agency has said the status of recent H1N1 epidemic has become normal. At that time there were 9 patients undergoing treatment at different hospitals.
During the epidemic health officials suggested to wear surgical masks but less than 10% were seen doing so in public. Now no one is seen wearing it and people are living the usual daily life in the capital Male' and islands.
During the outbreak there was a very small stock of H1N1 vaccine in the country. It was available to sick, pregnant women and children. Now it is available for general public without any restriction.
29 Mar 2017
Latest information released by the Health Protection Agency today shows 222 confirmed cases of H1N1 while the total tested specifically for this flu increased to 619. HPA says some 20 patients are currently admitted in the hospitals for treatment while 10 discharged within the last 48 hours.
After outbreak of Influenza A H1N1, otherwise known as swine flu, the authorities closed down all schools. After a week the schools were resumed last Sunday. Only 20% of students attended the sessions and schools were closed again on Monday. Schools are still closed.
H1N1 vaccination is going on in several healthcare centres and it is open for general public without any restriction. A dose costs about $10.
ADK the largest private hospital has opened vaccination for the general public. Influenza A H1N1 vaccinating will take place daily from 15:00 hours. Currently there is a long queue at the hospital. This comes after viral flu claimed its 4th victim who was a pregnant woman. Schools were resumed but only about 20% of students attended, according to media sources.
Influenza A H1N1 has claimed 1 more life yesterday, according to HPA. This brings the death count to 4. Also known as swine flu the confirmed number of patients according to HPA have now reached 185. Tests were done on 501 people so far. The authorities say 12 people had been discharged from hospital in the last 2 days.
Meantime ADK Hospital has started vaccinating high risk people such as children, elderly and people suffering other diseases such as cancer or kidney problems. Current stock of vaccines are not enough for entire population. WHO officials have recently said they are working to get 30,000 doses to Maldives.
Statistic indicate the epidemic is still not under control but schools and colleges are resuming tomorrow.
Health Protection Agency says up to today 176 people turned positive for Swine flu H1N1. This was out of 460 cases tested in the country. Meanwhile the special flu clinic opened by ADK hospital has now been shut down. Schools and colleges are resuming on Sunday. Pregnant women on leave due to the outbreak have been asked to resume work after the weekend.
Doctors say Influenza A H1N1 is a virus that spreads mostly from person to person, bodily fluids, moisture etc. Frequent washing of hands is recommended by doctors.
They say cleaning dry surfaces such as furniture does is of less importance as the virus do not survive for long outside human body.
Health Protection Agency says H1N1 has claimed its 3rd life in the Maldives today while confirmed Swine Flu patients reach 147. Up to now 411 people has been tested for Influenza A H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. A common flu is currently on going in various regions of the Maldives. While H1N1 is present in the country people in large numbers have visited hospitals in the recent days. That common flu cases are now on a decline as lesser people seeing doctors. Schools and collages are still closed while pregnant ladies working in government are given paid leaves. Swine Flu is regarded as critical on children and elderly. The public health officials are urging to maintain extra-good personal hygiene. They say the H1N1 virus do not survive for long outside human body. Hence, the importance is to take measures to prevent body to body transfer of virus.
Influenza A H1N1 infected total has now reached 114 while overall situation seems getting better as people visiting hospitals drop. Yesterday 680 people from Male' sought medical care for various kind of flu, day before the count was 989. From islands 869 visited hospitals yesterday while day before it was 1551. It is still unclear if there is any swine flu confirmed case in the atolls. Unusually more people are getting treated for flu in Raa Atoll and Noonu Atoll. In Raa Atoll 99 flu cases were reported while in Noonu it was 104.
The epidemic is taking toll as H1N1 confirmed cases increase to 105. More commonly known as swine flu it has claimed at least 3 lives. Influenza test has been done on 335 patients while a lot more suffers regular viral fever. Numbers keep rising and government has started giving paid leaves for pregnant women, they will also get vaccinated soon as dispatching has already started. Health officials are trying to contain the epidemic within a week, but possibility remains uncertain at this time.
Influenza A H1N1
cases have now reached a total of 82 as per authorities. IGM
has setup a flu clinic in the next door Thajuddin School as the school is closed due the flu. ADK the largest private hospital has also opened a special clinic to test suspected swine flu cases, this clinic is in Sosunge.
According to Health Protection Agency (HPA) 279 people have been tested so far for H1N1 of which 82 turned out positive. Other common flu cases have dramatically increased over the past couple of days. It may be that people are now consulting doctors because of H1N1 presence in the country.
We are getting reports that flu is spreading in some of the atolls too. According to HPA the most severely hit atoll is Raa Atoll where 157 people sought medical care yesterday. Based on last census in 2014 Raa Atoll has a population of 22302. Despite increased flu reports it is unclear if there is any confirmed H1N1 case in the atoll. We will try to clear this on the next update on this thread.
Discovery of dozens of H1N1 (swine flu) cases in the
has led to close down of schools and colleges in the capital Male' while rest of the country functions as normal. So far there has been no effect to government offices anywhere in the country. No suspicious or confirmed case from any resort has been reported while tourist movements happen as usual in most resorts, some have restricted access to Male' as measure of precaution.
The viral flu has caused at least 1 death and public health officials say
involves high risk on children and elderly. That gives reason to close schools while government, private offices and businesses operate as normal. Health officials have advised public to practice more sanitation and some of the people are seen in public wearing surgical masks.
Travel advice from Maldives Finest
Capital Male'
Velana International Airport
being two different islands your Maldives holiday does not seem risky at this point of time. However, as a precaution we suggest the following.
• Wear surgical mask while passing through the airport.
• Maintain personal hygiene and use hand sanitizer.
• Prevent visiting capital Male' during this period unless absolutely necessary.
• We also recommend resorts to offer hand sanitizer to all guests, right on the jetty as guests are welcomed. Any suspicious case must be referred to resort clinic without delays.
• Though H1N1 is risky on children and elderly we do not recommend interrupting your resort holiday plans yet as every
Maldives resort
is geographically secluded from rest of the islands. Past experiences indicate chances of epidemics spreading in Male' moving on to resorts are slim. Maldives resorts are often very pro-active through direct coordination with Ministry of Tourism. (Thanks to countless weather alert SMS sent by the ministry during my hotel management career).
• There has been no confirmed case from any local residential island. For precaution we suggest to avoid taking children and elderly to local islands. Holidays in local
guest houses
recommended only to adults during this period.
Swine Flu Updates
Should circumstances change this thread will be updated. Latest stories will appear in the top.

First Review of Secret Histories…
Posted By John On February 2, 2009 @ 6:08 pm In Forthcoming Works,Limited Editions,New Editions,Powers News,Secret Histories | Comments Disabled
Publication of Secret Histories [1] creeps nearer, as does TP's appearance of guest of honour at this years Eastercon LX [2] in Bradford. I originally thought that holding the book off from appearing before 2009 might be a mistake, but in actual fact I've been glad of the extra time, as it has allowed me to refine and perfect the design and layout of the thing.
Recently PS Publishing [1] very kindly agreed to produce advanced reading copies - forty were printed up a few weeks ago, in glorious, rich full colour and on glossy 130gsm stock and, even though I say so myself, they look quite stunning. They've now been distributed to the trade and review community and we can only sit back and await the verdict.
Of course, now this thing is actually "out there" as it were, I'm officially crapping it! But, if this first review is anything to go by, it's just possible that I may not have just wasted the last eight years of my life!

Why Jimmy Kimmel And His Wife 'Didn't Want To Get Too Close' to Their Son When He Was First Born
The first few months of a baby's life can be scary and stressful for any parent. But for Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney, whose son was born with a life-threatening medical condition, those first months came with a whole other layer of emotional challenges as they dealt with the scary situation. In a new interview in the April issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Kimmel revealed how he and McNearney navigated this difficult period after welcoming their son Billy, who was born last year with a rare heart condition (tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia).
After his April 2017 birth, Billy immediately underwent open heart surgery to treat the issue. The procedure was successful, but Billy still would still need to undergo another major operation, which he had in December. And, in the interview, the television host talked about the dark thoughts he and McNearney kept from each other while their son's health was still in a precarious state in the months between the two procedures.
"There were secrets we kept from each other that we revealed only after the second surgery. The biggest one was that, I think subconsciously, we didn't want to get too close to the baby because we didn't know what was going to happen," the late-night host told the magazine. "I don't know if that's right or wrong or common or uncommon. But when I told [my wife] I was feeling that way, she said, 'Oh I'm so happy you said that because I was feeling that way too, and I didn't want to express it.'"
There is no right or wrong way for parents to react to a stressful, uncertain situation like this.
"You have this expectation that you're going to have this baby, be in the hospital for a day or two, and go home. And then you're told your baby has a heart condition—and you've lost [all of that]," Courtney Corbitt, a licensed social worker in the pediatric and cardiac intensive care unit (PICU) at UC Davis Children's Hospital, tells SELF. "There's fear, there's grief, there's a sense of a loss of control, a sense of failure."
Although it may seem callous to an outsider, a parent's conscious or subconscious desire to not get too attached to a child they may lose is a normal response to an incredibly tough situation. "You're afraid to bond with the baby because you think, 'If I don't bond, then it won't hurt as much [if I lose them]. And it'll hurt more if I love them,'" Corbitt says.
This fear is totally understandable, and it doesn't mean that you're lacking a strong connection to your child, Corbitt says. "I think a fear of bonding with your child right there tells you that you've bonded already."
It's also normal for parents to keep these types of feelings to themselves, partly because they may feel guilty for even having those thoughts.
"There's all this self-blame," Corbitt explains. But couples also may not share these things because they feel like they need to stay strong and optimistic for each other. "Each person takes responsibility for being supportive and hopeful and positive," Corbitt says, which makes them feel like they can't or shouldn't reveal these more vulnerable emotions.
Of course, each parent can decide what they're comfortable sharing with the other, but neither should feel the pressure to be "the strong one" during this time when they both need tremendous emotional support. Friends and family members can be an invaluable source of comfort, but it's likely that no one understands what you're going through more than your partner. So keeping that connection honest and open is crucial.
"It's important to have this safe place to talk to each other," Corbitt says, pointing out that there's "no way" that any parent who has a child in the NICU [neonatal ICU] hasn't thought about their child dying, even if they don't share that fear with their spouse. "You'll be amazed at what a relief can come from each other, because they're [both] thinking that."
It's OK to have trouble expressing those anxieties—but there are ways to approach these conversations that will make them easier on you and your partner.
First off, know that, with your partner, you're in an emotionally safe space to get vulnerable. From there, Corbitt suggests saying something to your partner along the lines of, "I'm not giving up or anything, but this is what scares me," if you feel you need to.
It's also helpful to preface the conversation with what you are—or aren't—looking for from your partner. For instance, you can tell them something like, "I'm going to share some stuff with you. I don't want you to fix it, I don't need reassurance, I don't need reinforcement. I just need you to listen."
Parents may also benefit from individual or couples counseling, which is something that can begin in the ICU with the aid of a crisis counselor on staff at the hospital. Alternatively, Corbitt recommends establishing a relationship with an outside therapist who can "follow you from the beginning of your crisis" and stick with you as you go home so that you don't have to start over with a new therapist after leaving the hospital.
Right now, Kimmel and McNearney are feeling optimistic about their son's health and prepared to face future obstacles managing Billy's heart condition. "He'll have another surgery when he's around 6 or 7 years old," Kimmel said, "but in the meantime, he's doing great." And when it comes to dealing with the complicated thoughts and emotions that may arise along the way, they can at least feel a sense of security knowing they can share those with each other.

Spontaneous self-practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) by Aboriginal counsellors during and following CBT training: a retrospective analysis of facilitating conditions and impact
Document Type
Publication details
Bennett-Levy, J, Wilson, S, Nelson, J, Rotumah, D, Ryan, K, Budden, W, Stirling, J, Beale, D 2015, 'Spontaneous self-practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) by Aboriginal counsellors during and following CBT training: a retrospective analysis of facilitating conditions and impact', Australian Psychologist, vol. 50, no. 5, pp. 329-334.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
Previous cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) training studies have suggested that therapists who practice CBT strategies on themselves during training may experience professional and personal benefits. However, it has also been reported that some CBT trainees are reluctant to engage in self-practice. The present study reports an incidental finding from a CBT training study with Aboriginal counsellors: all five counsellors reported that they practiced CBT techniques on themselves without specific encouragement by the trainers to do so. This paper therefore posed three questions: (a) Why—in contrast to some other trainees—did this group choose to apply CBT to themselves? (b) How did they apply it—with what purpose, in what contexts, and which skills? (c) What was the impact of CBT self-practice? Data from the group's reflections were qualitatively analysed by two of the researchers, and "member checked" by the remainder. Results indicated that the counsellors were motivated to practice CBT on themselves for two principal reasons: the value they placed on CBT, and their personal need resulting from the high number of crises experienced while living and working in their communities. The counsellors reported practicing CBT in a wide variety of contexts as part of their learning. As in previous studies, the impact of CBT self-practice was that it increased their confidence and competence as therapists. It also appeared to be a valuable burnout prevention strategy. If the results are generalisable, they suggest that self-experiential training in CBT may be a culturally responsive and adaptive way for Aboriginal counsellors to enhance their learning of CBT skills.

Emotion Is the Secret Ingredient, Says Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas
A thought exercise: Imagine a glass of water in
To create a perfume is like the need for water
If you are a human person with a working heart, you will most likely want to down the drink, right?
Water is fundamental. It carries dreams, shapes lands, grows cities, satisfies desire, and provides life. "Is it more important to drink?" asks legendary perfumer Alberto Morillas. "If you don't have water, you're dead immediately."
At the head of a small table near the hammered metal bar of the Bulgari Hotel in London, Morillas is talking water, one of
There is hardly a scent, Morillas points
Master perfumer Alberto Morillas says that, in the creation of perfumes, emotion is most important.
If you don't have emotion, you can't do the job
Morillas is 67 years old, and you can discern in the way he speaks how he is looking through the lens of memory. After discovering that scent-making is a real occupation, he became a perfumer "very young and immediately" at 20. And though he has been on the job for almost 50 years, he says the flame of passion from when he began holds steady.
Time and talent have resulted in immortal scents, some of which you have probably worn. These include classics such as CK One, Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani, Kenzo Flower, Panthere de Cartier, Bulgari Omnia, and so many more.
He continues, "A good perfumer [needs] to have the emotion, emotion, emotion to create the perfume. Because think: Every day, I [have] the same job... If you don't have the emotion, you can't [do] this job."
Emotion is the touchstone that Morillas taps into when creating. He looks to the experiences people share, childhood memories, life's little bookmarks.
Take the scent of cedar wood, for example. The perfumer explains how we all have a strong memory of trees, which comes from climbing its branches, or playing in tree houses, or learning how to write with a pencil, which
Cedar and cypress create a familiar deep green feeling in Bulgari Man Wood Essence.
What is most important is simplicity
Of course, there is much more to perfumery than feeling, memory, and emotion, but Morillas likes to zero in on the pure. He doesn't want to be bogged down by marketing. He doesn't believe in following a blueprint.
He also does not use a computer, preferring, in the age of gadget wizardry, to handwrite his formulas instead. "You see immediately the emotion when you are writing," he explains.
For him, you need to create what you understand or, in this case, what you smell. This approach he applied in the creation of Bulgari Man Wood Essence, the latest perfume from the popular Bulgari Man series (this is 10th iteration if you include the limited editions), whose strength, according to Morillas, is just that.
It is very easy to understand the memory of wood and here, there are two, cedar and cypress, that project a deep green feeling akin to being in a forest or sleeping in that long-ago tree house.
The result is a feeling of freedom
Compared to his other hits, here is how he differentiates his latest: "When you smell the cedar, you smell the spirit. When you smell Aqua di Gio, you smell the emotion of the water. When you smell CK One, you smell the iced tea effect."
Morillas likes how Bulgari Man Wood Essence feels universal. It is simple and natural. It is not artificial and never a fantasy. It is the smell of wood and growing things punctuated with the freshness of citrus.
This also means the fragrance is not a meek scent. In fact, at first spray, it may feel a touch heavy, but after
That's all well and good because, in the expert's decades-long career, he discovered the qualities men seek in scents: fresh, powerful, and long-lasting. (Morillas advises spraying over clothes, across the chest, for maximum effect.)
Morillas latest creation, Bulgari Man Wood Essence, projects power, freshness, and the spirit of trees.
There is a story here, of course, because everything needs a story today: The perfume has been created as a resolution between the conflicting natures of man as
We're all so caught up in our hamster wheels of steel (and money) that, more and more, we feel the need to log off and return to a simpler life—even if it is through signals from our noses.
Morillas describes this best. He talks about climbing trees again. He imagines being on its topmost bough, looking far and away. "Three meters, four meters. You are the king, you know? You have the emotion of being free," the perfumer muses. "You are free."
Bulgari Man Wood Essence is available at leading perfume counters.

Dagenham boss Wayne Burnett praised his players for their resilience as they battled to a 1-1 draw at Burton after being reduced to 10 men.
After Lawson D'ath had fired the Daggers in front, teenage full-back Jack Connors was sent off in the 55th minute for his second yellow card of the afternoon - both for fouls on pacy winger Zeli Ismail.
Substitute Billy Kee duly stepped off the bench to grab an equaliser for Albion before Robbie Weir came closest to all three points when he hit the woodwork in injury time.
Burnett said: "It was a very, very tough game in the end but my players showed fantastic character and a never-say-die attitude.
"I felt we were in control and scored a very, very good goal, but the sending-off changed the game."
Burnett added: "I thought we were more than a match for them 11 v 11, but the referee felt he had no choice but to send Jack off and that changed the complexion of the game.
"He's a young boy playing at left-back and he's done fantastically well since stepping up from the youth team
"Jack made a tackle and showed a bit of naivety by putting his hand on head as if to say 'I've made a mistake and you can send me off'.
"Gary Rowett has done a fantastic job at Burton. He's got some very good football players and we knew it was going to be tough, so to get a point with 10 men is no mean achievement."
Burton assistant manager Kevin Summerfield had mixed emotions after the clash but was left to rue the fact Albion were forced to come from behind once again this term.
"We said before the game how important it was to get the first goal," he said.
"It's something we haven't done particularly well for most of the season but we're still eking out results.
"You've got to give credit to the opposition because they're a really resilient team, who are a lot tougher than they were last season and they've got a better system.
"They've got some character about them and once they got that first goal, which was an unstoppable shot, they had something to hang on to.
"Possibly we were allowed back into the game when they went down to 10 men - and it it could be a very important point come the end of the season."
Summerfield continued: "You're never happy with one point, but you have to give the opposition praise for the way they played.
"The good thing is that we've kept our unbeaten run going and we're still up there not too far off the top three."

Minutes of the meetings are available by clicking the minutes button below.
Come and join us at one of our events.
Situated south of Liverpool city centre, Princes Park is a Grade II* Historic Park.
Opened to the public in 1842 Princes Park represented a radical experiment in both the design and function of urban green space. Designed by the master of 19th Century landscape architecture, Joseph Paxton, it provided a blueprint for many public parks that were to follow. Combining private gardens, public walks and green space, a lake and a boat house, it was one of the first parks to be open to the public. It passed into public ownership in 1918 and constitutes an important and influential step in the democratisation of green space and the development of the City of Liverpool.
Following relative neglect from the 1950's onwards, the Friends have worked closely with Liverpool City Council to make it once again a lovely and desirable space. It is now a grade II* Heritage Listed Park.
An interesting article by Ann Hall of Baslow in Derbyshire detailing the life and work of John Robertson, Joseph Paxton's architectural assistant, can be found here
The Friends of Princes Park are currently working with the Nelson Mandela Memorial Campaign Group to create a space in Princes Park which would be dedicated to Nelson Mandela but reflect the views and wishes of people in Liverpool 8….
Not a statue but a space for reflection and recreation, focusing on the island and the lake. The Campaign Group has identified a target budget of £230,000 to realise this commission. Funding for the implementation of the commission is being sought through donations and grant funding.
We will update this page as more information becomes available.

Tuesday's Water News: Sewer Overflow from Heavy Rains Leads to Beach Closures in Long Beach
Top Story
All beaches in Long Beach, California are closed after storms caused a 250,000 gallons of untreated wastewater near Studio City to overflow into the Los Angeles River. The beaches will be closed until water test results show that contamination levels are within state standards.
Other Headlines
The City Council in Akron, Ohio has delayed action on three sewer projects amid questions about the improvements and the status of the city's overall sewer-system improvements. Council members questioned whether the city should be moving forward with the improvements after a federal judge last week threw out an agreement between Akron and the EPA on how to solve the city's sewer overflow problems.
Officials in Cumberland, Maryland have an agreement that would enable the western Maryland city to sell treated wastewater for hydraulic fracturing in recovering natural gas.
A $14.5 million construction project to increase Panama City Beach, Florida's treated wastewater capacity is nearing completion. The project, 10 years in the planning, is meant to halt the release of treated wastewater into West Bay and expand the capacity of the city's treatment plant from 10 million gallons to 14 million gallons a day.

August 20, 2018 – Traffic is a real head scratcher.
You're driving along at a normal speed, and all of the sudden you're moving slower than a three-toed sloth. There's no indication why. No merging. No accidents. No school busses. You try to figure out the physics behind it, but you're only fooling yourself. You were never good at math or science anyway, so you simply accept that traffic will always be a complete mystery.
Once upon a time I enjoyed getting caught in traffic. Between working and raising my son, my traffic time was my alone time. If traffic moved at the pace of a sloth, it meant more time listening to music or spending time with my thoughts. Now, he's grown and I still have a hefty commute each day. Traffic is no longer what I desire, but it is a little more understandable thanks to this list of weird things about traffic from Listverse.com.

This project will accelerate production of County Geologic Atlases (part A). An atlas is a set of geologic maps and associated databases for a county that facilitate informed management of natural resources, especially water and minerals.

Large deposits of copper, nickel, cobalt, and other minerals in northeastern Minnesota could provide huge economic and employment benefits to the state while becoming an important source of important metals for the country. However, the mining required to extract them could have significant water quality impacts in a region that includes the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness and other environmentally sensitive watersheds.
To hire qualified professionals to publish Howard Greene's journals about the north woods of Minnesota.
This project will support a civic engagement cohort that will be offered in southwest Minnesota to foster partnering and build capacity of local government, organizations, and residents for effective civic engagement in water protection and restoration. This project will also build networks and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection. The cohort will be administered through the Minnesota River Board (MRB), established in 1995 with a goal of focusing water management efforts on the local level.
This project will build network and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection in Southeast Minnesota. The cohort will be administered through the Southeast Minnesota Water Resources Board (SE MN WRB) which is an area wide Joint Powers Board (JPB) established to help improve and protect the water resources of the area through coordinating local water planning efforts. This JPB has successfully administered water quality grants in the past that have positively impacted the water resources of this region.
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been decimating ash throughout the Great Lake States and is currently advancing into Minnesota, threatening the future of the ash forests that occur across much of the state. Of particular concern is the impact EAB will have on the ecology and functioning of black ash swamps, which cover over one million acres in Minnesota and represent the state's most common ash forest type. Black ash trees grow and thrive in swamps and occupy a unique wet niche where few other tree species grow.
Minnesota has 9.5 million acres of public forest lands that play an important role in sustaining Minnesota's environment and economy. The policies and programs used by public timber sale programs can impact post-harvest ecological conditions and have pronounced effects on the composition, structure, and productivity of the forest in the future. Additionally, timber harvesting revenues play an important role in economic activity, employment, and tax revenue.
Over 527,000 acres of unmanaged woodlands are being used for livestock grazing throughout Minnesota. Managing these grazed woodlands based on the use of best management practices can provide environmental and economic opportunities, including improved water quality, maximized forage production, and higher-quality timber. The best management practices involved are commonly used in other parts of the country with other types of ecosystems, but have not been widely adopted in Minnesota due to a lack of knowledge and experience with implementing them within the ecosystems of Minnesota.
Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area, is amongst Minnesota's greatest natural resources providing drinking water, shipping, recreation, and tourism. Recently the lake has been undergoing significant changes including increasing water temperatures, decreasing ice cover, increasing nutrient loads, decreasing biological productivity, increasing invasive species, and changes in species abundance and distribution. The reasons behind these changes and the interactions amongst them are not well understood.
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network (WPLMN) requests assistance from local partners to collect samples and field data at designated stream monitoring sites for the purpose of assessing water quality and calculating annual pollutant loads.
Moose, one of Minnesota's prized wildlife species, are dying at much higher rates in Minnesota than elsewhere in North America. Recently observed increases in mortality rates amongst some moose in northeastern Minnesota have led to concern that the population there may be entering a decline like that seen in the northwestern part of the state, where moose populations fell from over 4,000 to fewer than 100 in less than 20 years. Additionally the specific causes of increased mortality amongst individual moose remain under investigation.

Just returned from Skala two days ago and had a fabulous time.Yes the Forest fires were scary but the town the next day was running as normal, it did lose the electric but that was back up in the afternoon.
One thing I must say is that I'm glad we went 'independent' ie booked Hotel, flights etc on-line, during the evacuation people who had to rely on tour operaters were very very unhappy about the lack of organisation, some people were told the next day that the town had burnt down!!!!
We were lucky, packed as much as posssible, jumped in the hire car and drove to a Hotel near Sami.
We spent a week at the Annassa and would not hesitate to recommend it.The owners are incredibly friendly, as are the excellent staff.Excellent choice of food and drink at very very resonable prices.
If you're a footy fan you'll be in heaven, 103" outdoor screen with Sky Sports.
Rooms clean and very quite.

#ProjectServer #PS2013 #Excel Pivot Table limitationJuly 4, 2013 at 11:38 am | Posted in Administration, Customisation, Functionality, Information, Issue, Reporting, Workarounds | 1 Comment

Just a quick post to highlight a limitation / issue with Excel Pivot Tables that I hadn't seen before, details below.
This particular Pivot Table uses a Data Model that contains two OData feeds from Project Server 2013, one for Project details and one for Task details. The connections can been seen below:
The relationship has been set up as follows:
I have added Programme, Project Name, Task Name and Task Start to the Pivot Table. Programme and Project Name are from the Projects table and Task Name and Task Start are from the Tasks table. The Project Name is filtered to just one project:
Looking at the Pivot Table, it looks the CPS Test project has many tasks but in fact this project only has 4 tasks:
To resolve the issue you have to add a numerical field from the Tasks table to correct the aggregation:
Hope that helps

I had a series of dreams one after the other. This does not happen often, but whenever it does they are usually linked together.
The first dream had to do with Geronimo, the feared Apache Shaman who was responsible for much bloodshed on this land. In the dream, I was shown old newspaper articles and writings depicting the violence and bloodshed that was brought about by his hand. There was a spirit of violence involved. He was feared by his enemies because of his brutality.… [Continue reading...]

I know you know this. But I just found out a friend of mine died of a heroin OD yesterday and I just wanted to remind all of you. Stay away from the fucking smack. He was young and funny and smart and handsome and now he's dead. So just don't.
No gifs, please. It doesn't feel respectful right now.

That's how many more career points Kobe Bryant has than Jeremy Lin.
But that hasn't stopped everyone from hyping up the Kobe v. Lin as the battle of the century tonight to MSG.
We love the Linsanity as much as anyone. But tonight is about Lin proving himself against a Lakers team that can legitimately protect the rim. It's not about how he stacks up with Kobe.
Here are some more side-by-side comparisons between the careers and Kobe and Lin:
Points: 28,628-184
Assists: 5,293-84
Threes: 1456-2
Titles: 5-0

Emitter Number Detection Based on Intrapulse Information and Application of the Information Theoretic Criteria
- Authors
- Corporate Authors
- Defence Research Establishment Ottawa, Ottawa ONT (CAN)
- Abstract
- In Electronic Support Measures (ESM) systems, intrapulse analysis has gained much interest in the development of pulse train deinterleaving techniques due to its ability to handle complex radar signals. In this report, an approach for detecting the number of emitters is proposed based on the use of intrapulse information of the intercepted pulse trains. The approach is an application of the information theoretic criteria. It exploits the fine intrapulse modulation information of emitter signal and has the advantage of not requiring a subjective threshold setting. The approach is statistically consistent and computationally efficient. Computer simulations and real sensor data are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The LC500 looks great...from some angles
And really bad from some
And I think it would look a LOT better from all angles if they cleaned up the styling shmoo. This is like the mid cycle refresh version where they just slapped on some garnish to a great shape to keep it fresh...I think the base shape works well, its the details that are tragic.
That being said, no one can argue that the interior isn't amazing
I want to go to there.

June 2007
The strongest drug that exists for a human is another human being. This couldn't be more true, with what happened after our huge fight.
Scarlett, supposedly, was terrified of me—I don't entirely blame her—but she couldn't recognize it was an accident. I was merely trying to protect myself, without having to punch her in the face. Though I nearly did, while in my fiery sight. Therefore, she started staying with Mike at his house, which coincidentally, was right down the street from my parent's house.
I couldn't even speak to her, not even through a phone call. I had to talk to Mike, who would be the middleman, in our conversations. Our conversations that didn't last more than a minute. They would invariably end with, "She's too scared to go back."
I had an intuitive belief that this was absolute bullshit. She simply needed an excuse to stay with Mike, so they could be together and fuck each other's brains out. And, well, I gave her that excuse, doing what I did.
One instance, a co-worker had hooked me up with some Molly—straight MDMA, that makes up the primary ingredient in Ecstasy. I bought two of them for us, thinking everything would be fine and we could roll together reanimating our relationship.
That never happened.
I ended up driving all the way to Mike's house, begging her to come back, while I was rolling. I spent the rest of the intense roll listening to electronic music in the car and apartment, by myself. That's how the next few weeks were spent, alone.
Now, before all this, we had checked into a methadone clinic. Even though now, I am very anti-methadone, back then we felt like it was the only means for us to stop using dope. It was a hundred bucks a week, which was a great deal cheaper than our dope habit, which I can't even recall how much was.
They were open for about two hours daily, except on Sundays. They'd hand you a liquid dose that measured out to how much you were using. Most of the time, I'd pretend to swallow the pink liquid, then spit it back out into the cup and keep it, just in case we couldn't obtain any dope.
Yes, we were using at the same time. This became a back-up plan if we ran out of dope.
One of the horrible things about the Methadone Clinic was that if you didn't arrive in that two-hour window that they were open, you were screwed for that day. And you would pray to God, that you made it Saturday, where they gave you a take-home dose, because they were closed Sunday. If you missed that dosage, you were screwed for two days. Leaving you to have to go through Methadone withdrawal, which is ten times as hard as heroin withdrawal.
You really don't want to go there.
After a few weeks, she eventually came back. The days I spent without her were the most brutal days I'd ever experienced, at the time:
I wouldn't come off the couch.
I scarcely ate.
I worried to death about her, not knowing if she had fixed for the day or not.
I know, you're probably thinking, why didn't you just break up with her?
The truth being, I still loved her. I had a huge heart, even though she crushed it, leaving it to die. But like my father, I couldn't just let her go. I loved her. Plus, she was my only way of obtaining any dope, which I still wanted and needed because I was doing a terrible job of making it to the clinic. I didn't know where I could get dope anywhere else without her. I even tried asking people at the clinic, but all of them had flaked on me. She was my only connect.
Thus, I was stuck.
In a net of love,
and a demand for dope.
But now, she was back; although, not entirely. She would come back for a little bit of the day, then leave, or she'd come stay the night maybe, then leave in the morning. Each time she'd come back then leave, my heart would endure another stabbing. It was savagely wounded by the time she stayed for a couple days because she told me she was pregnant, once again.
She wouldn't tell who's it was, but I knew it wasn't mine. We hadn't had sex in weeks. It had to have been Mike's child growing inside her. I wanted to be sick and hurl out everything inside of me, which wasn't much—some pink vitamin water and a few powdered donuts.
"I'm gonna get an abortion."
Of course, she was. That would be the smart move since she was still on heroin, methadone, and who knows what else. Plus, she couldn't take care of a baby by herself and there was no way I was going to help.
"Babe, you have to help me," she spoke in a quiet, but frantic voice.
I was flattered she still called me "babe." When I heard that, I felt my heart open back up, like it had sprung back to life. Perhaps there was hope for us after all.
I ended up paying for half of it.
I still don't know if the abortion was real or a lie.
I should tell you this now. One day, she came home with two disgusting-looking dudes. They looked about our age, but also looked like they hadn't showered in months. I believe Josh and Steven had helped her out, finding dope, therefore she invited them over to our house. This was when she was coming over every now and again. Eventually, she left once more, leaving one of them with me.
Josh was a cool dude. After I told him to take a shower, he wasn't a bad-looking guy either. He was white, but sunburnt, with brown eyes and a big nose. His hair was a dirty-blonde mohawk that had fallen down—much like his life had, while being homeless. Josh started off being my shadow, following me everywhere I went. When I went to work, he would find a place nearby to "spange," or spare for change. Eventually, he became my pal and sidekick.
One night, Josh and I were watching a movie. Most likely, a gangster movie, like Goodfellas or Casino, because that's what I was into at the time. We ran out of cigarettes, which are vital things to possess when you're a junky. He stayed at the house while I drove to the nearest gas station, which was not even a minute from the apartment.
After I bought us a few packs, I was walking up to my car when some guy came up to me.
"Hey man, d'you know if you'z could gimme a ride downtown, man?" He spoke with a Hispanic accent, but didn't look Mexican; although, it was dark out. I wanted to tell him 'no,' but it was only a ten-minute drive, plus he could probably hook me up with some alcohol. That's plausibly why he wanted to go downtown since it was past midnight and the gas station stopped selling beer.
"Yea, dude, get in." In hindsight, I have no clue how he could've brought me any alcohol downtown.
Sure enough, I gave him a ride downtown.
It was a quiet drive, for the most part. He asked me what my name was and what I did for a living. I'm sure I asked him the same questions, but I don't recall any of his answers. I only remember asking him if he could get me some alcohol once we got down there.
"Sure, no prollum man," he told me.
I brought him to 7th street and reminded him to not forget about my beer when he got out of the car.
Once again, he said "No problem." And so I waited.
It wasn't but a couple minutes when he came back empty handed, it looked like.
"Yo man, I couldn't get no beer or liquor man, but I gos dis shit." He stuck out his right hand, then opened it, showing me a clear, straight pipe and a few square bits of what looked like solid blocks or crystals even. I had no idea what it could be, or I didn't have enough time to think of what it could be, before he told me. "It's crack, man… You cool?"
"Yea man, I'm cool." I certainly didn't want him to think I was a cop, or snitch, or anything like that, hence when he offered it up, I couldn't help but say, "Yes."
He handed me the pipe already loaded with a smaller, broken piece of a bigger block. He was going to light it for me and told me to slowly inhale.
So I did.
The random hombre told me to hold the smoke in as long as I could and to blow it out through my nose.
So I did.
As I blew out a thick cloud of that dirty smoke, I felt it immediately. My body had become weightless. My head was a balloon flying up towards the roof of my car. My entire body was relaxed. It didn't make me talkative and pepped-up like cocaine usually did. It mellowed me out, but this wasn't like any other high. This high was off the charts. But two minutes later, it was gone, and I wanted another.
I was instantly hooked right then and there.

Merry Meet All,
I am a bookcase thief. I am really. In the last few months, I have convinced my mother to give up two bookcases that I am sure she needed too to give to me to be a holding cell for all my books. There are two built in bookcases that are crammed with books with four shelves each. Then I have a third wooden bookcase in my bedroom with three shelves, filled with books.
I am addicted to the written word. I guess I have made that obvious. I collect books for help with my writing, research or to just enjoy and read. I enjoy the books I read for research too. I have books from when I was younger though most books are recent.
I have a certain order to how I organize the books on my shelves. To look at it all, you would think you had walked into a bookstore or library. On the highest top shelf of my bookcase, are the classic literature books, followed by some horror novels, then poetry and writers manuals. The bottom shelf holds the miscellaneous books. The second bookcase contains my books on Wicca and witchcraft and pagan magazines. Yes I am organized about my books. It helps as there are so many. Books are wonderful and I also love books more than Kindle or Kobo or whatever. I prefer to hold a real book in my hand, smell the print, feel the texture of the page. I hope bookstores never become a thing of the past.
Blessed Be,
Lady Spiderwitch
