On September 17, 1998, police found Las Vegas gambling magnate Ted Binion lying dead on the floor of his palatial home, an empty bos of Xanax beside him. The police had been called by Binion's live-in lover, Sandra Murphy, 23, a California girl who had been working in a Vegas strip club when Binion had first met her. At first it seemed it was a fatal drug overdose that killed the handsome multi-millionaire. But was it? A few days later, Binion's "friend" Rick Tabish was arrested for trying to break into a vault where the eccentric millionaire had stored seven million dollars' worth of silver bars and coins. Family members hired ex-homicide detective-turned-private investigator Tom Dillar to start digging into the case. Dillard turned over the evidence he collected to Las Vegas police. What they found led to Binion's death being ruled a homicide and Murphy and Tabish's arrest for murder. The state said they were greedy lovers who'd conspired to kill Binion before they could strike Murphy out of his will, while the defense claimed that his vengeful family was trying to railroad Murphy to keep her from inheriting her fair share of the estate. The two sides collided in court, amid lurid charges and countercharges of physical abuse, drug use and illicit passion, in what became the Southwest's Murder Trial of the Century!

The data collection consists of raw diffraction data images of crystalline materials that are synthesised within the Lab, and which are collected using the single crystal X-ray diffractometers within the School of Chemistry.The data pertains to all crystallographic research conducted in the School, across a number of research groups and topics. The unprocessed data frames will also be stored.
The images allow researchers to explore a number of areas of chemical research, and by analysing these images chemical structural analyses can be identified, tested and recorded. These include complexes with novel reactivity and stable oxidation states for applications in catalysis, materials for gas storage/separation, materials possessing novel magnetic properties for potential data storage applications, novel catalysts for water splitting and fundamental organic/inorganic chemical synthesis.

'Richard Nixon: The Life' review: John A. Farrell's presidential biography drops a bombshell
RICHARD NIXON: The Life, by John A. Farrell. Doubleday, 737 pp., $35.
When Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon attended Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's funeral in Cairo in 1981, U.S. Senator Bob Dole quipped that the three former presidents standing together reminded him of the three monkeys from the Japanese shrine at Toshogu: "See no evil. Hear no evil. And evil."
John A. Farrell, in his new book, "Richard Nixon: The Life," sidesteps the question of whether Nixon actually was evil. But he quotes James Farmer, the civil rights activist, as saying that Nixon was such a "political animal" that he was "neither moral nor immoral, but was amoral."
"Richard Nixon" is an insightful and engaging biography. The biggest bombshell is Farrell's finding that Nixon tried to sabotage Lyndon Johnson's attempts to end the Vietnam War, prolonging the fighting for political gain. There has been much speculation about this in the past, and Nixon always denied it. But Farrell found a note in the papers of Nixon aide H.R. Haldeman saying that Nixon told him they needed to have intermediaries keep working to persuade the South Vietnamese not to agree to a peace deal before the 1968 election. The notes show how "Nixon personally directed the skullduggery — conducting negotiations with a foreign country in violation of U.S. law," Farrell writes.
Whether Nixon's intervention changed anything isn't certain, because the South Vietnamese weren't anxious to agree to the proposed peace terms to begin with. But Farrell argues that with more than 300 American troops being killed every week in the fighting, it might have been worse than anything Nixon did during Watergate.
So much written about Nixon includes the words "disgraced former president" that many don't remember, as Farrell shows, that he was once considered a "progressive" Republican whose administration created the Environmental Protection Agency, passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act, mandated the Title IX provision that provides college sports opportunities for women, greatly expanded funding for the arts, created Meals on Wheels and desegregated more schools than any previous administration.
Farrell, who was born in Huntington and attended Holy Family High School, covered Washington as a reporter for The Denver Post and The Boston Globe. He's also the author of acclaimed biographies of Clarence Darrow and Tip O'Neill. There's no avoiding the fact that with Nixon he's plowing much familiar ground, but he does it vividly, shedding yet more light on one of our darkest presidencies.
The Nixon described by Farrell was bright but socially awkward; a skilled debater but inept at small talk; a talented pianist but not much of an athlete. He was a benchwarmer on the Whittier College football team and a virgin until he was in his late 20s. He was a loving but detached and often absent husband and father. He had little interest in food — his basic lunch was a scoop of cottage cheese over a ring of canned pineapple and a glass of milk — and had trouble with liquor, sometimes becoming angry and paranoid after two drinks and sloshed after three. He was unusually vindictive for a Quaker.
During his first campaign for Congress from California in 1946, he pandered to the worst instincts of voters by using innuendo to suggest that the Democratic incumbent, Jerry Voorhis, was a Communist stooge. As Farrell writes: "By selectively dicing the public record, Dick made Jerry seem what he was not . . . an unsavory radical and an ineffective legislator." He did it again in his race for the U.S. Senate against Helen Gahagan Douglas, whom he termed "the Pink Lady." She in turn called him "Tricky Dick" — a label that stuck.
No one is elected president without public strengths, and Farrell makes clear that Nixon had many, particularly as a campaigner. But the secret taping system that he installed in the Oval Office also captured his obscenities, childish tantrums, vindictive threats, sexual innuendo, paranoid rantings, political scheming and racial and ethnic slurs. Most Americans were appalled by what they read after the courts ordered transcripts released, but Harlem's Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel said that he loved them because "they destroy the myth of white superiority."
Just before Nixon fled Washington because of the break-ins, burglaries, wiretaps, tax evasions and political dirty tricks that were leading to certain impeachment, he was told by Henry Kissinger: "History will treat you well."
"It depends who writes the history," Nixon replied.
In all, Nixon wrote a dozen books, some of them quite good if rather self-serving. But none of them were as honest, balanced or revealing as Farrell's.

Reading Kindle books can be an excellent experience for all book lovers, especially when you consider the variety and prices. Originally available on kindle devices, nowadays you can read kindle books on practically any mobile smart device. Since more and more people are purchasing low-cost yet powerful Android devices, this guide will tell you how to read Kindle books on an Android tablet / phone. If you still prefer to reading on computer, here are three methods to read Kindle books on PC.
Before reading Kindle books on the Android device, we should first install the Kindle reader app for Android.
Part 1: Download & install Kindle app on an Android phone / tablet
Part 2: Read Kindle books on Android
How to download & install Kindle app on an Android tablet / phone
The Kindle reader app for Android is available for free on Google Play. Search for Kindle on Google Play and tap Kindle icon to install.
For those who have no access to Google Play, here are also 2 methods to download & install Kindle app on Android. Therefore you won't miss any chance to read Kindle books on Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy or other Android phone / tablet.
Method 1. Download Kindle for Android app with Amazon Appstore.
Method 2. Download Kindle for Android app from browser.
Method 1. Download Kindle for Android app with Amazon Appstore.
If your Android tablet or smartphone is Internet connected, go to Amazon's official site and download Kindle for Android app. However, Amazon typically connects users to its Amazon Appstore in this case instead of offering a direct download link. Thus users are forced to install Amazon Appstore app on their Android devices at first and then rely on the Appstore to download free Kindle for Android app.
#1 Launch browser and input www.amazon.com on the device.
#2 Scroll down to select "See All Departments" -> "Apps for Android" -> "Apps". Input "Kindle for android" and tap "GO".
#3 Tap Kindle for Android app and select "Get from Amazon Appstore".
Next, download & install Amazon Appstore app and register the app with your Amazon account. Then download Kindle for Android app with Amazon Appstore. Note, only US users are permitted to download app from Amazon Appstore. Non-US users can go to their domestic Amazon site (such as www.amazon.uk or www.amazon.cn) with the built-in browser and download Kindle app to the Android device (direct download link is available in these countries), as long as there is a corresponding Kindle app provided.
Method 2. Download Kindle for Android app from browser.
If you don't want to rely on Amazon Appstore, you can also download Kindle for Android app by searching for "Kindle for Android APK download" on the built-in browser. This method is open to all usersalthough the available app might not be the latest version.
#1 Launch browser on the device and search for "Kindle for android apk download".
#2 Click "Download" button on the download page.
#3 Check the download progress by sliding down from the top of the display. Tap the file to install the app when the downloading is over.
Installation is done.
You can also click here to download Kindle for Android app (apk) to your device or computer (then transfer the downloaded APK file to your device via the USB cable).
#1 If your device is not recognized as a removable disc, make sure the USB debugging option is ON.
#2 If you can't find the transferred APK file on the device, install a free File Manager app (ASTRO File Manager) on it for locating a certain file.
#3 You may have to have approved sideloading apps before this will work on your android device.
How to read Kindle books on an Android tablet / phone
With Kindle app installed, we can easily read Kindle books on our Android tablets and smartphones, like Samsung Galaxy/S3, Google Nexus 4 / 7 and HTC One, together with considerable free Kindle books and downloaded books (Mobi / PDF) from torrent sites.
1. Register Kindle for Android app (Internet connection required)
2. Purchase / download (free) Kindle books to an Android tablet / phone (Internet connection required)
3. Transfer downloaded books to an Android tablet / phone
4. Read Kindle books on an Android tablet / phone
5. Remove DRM from Kindle books
1. Register Kindle for Android app (Internet connection required)
You'd better register your Kindle for Android app before reading. Actually, people will be asked to do so the first time they run the app. Once Kindle app is registered on an Android device, all the previously purchased Kindle books (under the same account) will be synced under the "Archive" category automatically, together with the related notes, highlights and the furthest reading page (only for purchased books) due to Amazon Kindle's whispersync technology. You don't need to download your Kindle books manually. Select a title and it will be downloaded to the device at once. Create an Amazon account (free) if you don't have one yet.
2. Purchase / download (free) Kindle books to an Android tablet / phone (Internet connection required)
If you don't have any Kindle book, you can find many free books on Amazon website. Here I will show you how to purchase a free Kindle book and download it to your Android device.
#1 Tap "Store" icon on Kindle app.
#2 Input "free book" and tap "GO". There will be a collection of $0 books displayed.
#3 Browse and select one book you are interested with.
Tap "Buy Now with 1-Click", then "Read it Now", the book will be downloaded to your device immediately. Tap "Dismiss" the "Reading Tips" (the first time reading) and enjoy your first Kindle book!
Dismiss the reading tips.
Read the book on your device.
There are many sites recommending excellent free Kindle books, such as BookBub and Free Kindle Books. Subscribe to one or two so that you won't miss any.
3. Transfer downloaded books to an Android tablet / phone
Both downloaded Amazon Kindle books and books from public domains can be transferred to Android device for reading. Just connect the android device to your computer with a USB cable. The device will be recognized as a removable disc at once. Be sure to copy and paste the downloaded eBook files to the "Kindle" folder. They will be shown under the "On Device" category.
#1 For downloaded Amazon Kindle books, make sure to select the correct device on Amazon's site.
#2 For downloaded eBooks from public domains, make sure they are MOBI or PDF formats whereas PDF is not recommended as a result of its irregular structure, which often delivers terrible reading experience to readers.
#3 If your Android device is not detected by computer, check the "USB debugging" option (mostly under "Developer options") and make sure it is "ON".
4. Read Kindle books on an Android tablet / phone
All local books are displayed under "On Device" shelf (downloaded books should be placed under the default "Kindle" folder). Tap a title to open and read. Holding down a word enables users to note, highlight and do other operations (search in Book, search Wikipedia or search the Web). You can also tap "Download" in the bottom of the screen so as to add a free dictionary to Kindle app. The whole downloading process only takes several minutes in general.
5. Remove DRM from Kindle books
In the end, there is one more thing I have to mention. Users do not really possess their purchased Kindle books although they have paid for them. What people really possess is the ticket to reading. In case the ticket (eBook) provider ended its service, such as Mobipocket and Fictionwise, readers would lose their purchased books for good. Therefore I suggest you remove DRM from Kindle books in order to back up these books permanently.

Private Lands
RiversEdge West employs a Private Lands Biologist through a partnership with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Private landowner participation in restoration projects is vital to connecting habitat and expanding the reach of projects.
*Attention private landowners! Join us on February 6th at Colorado Mesa University from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm for our Private Lands Interactive Workshop. Learn more here.
Financial Assistance
To facilitate private landowner participation, the Private Lands Biologist will help individuals navigate federal funding opportunities. Below are a couple of the funding programs offered through NRCS (Please note the below links will open a new window to the USDA NRCS Colorado Website for each program):
The USDA continues to work on regulation and policy changes in regards to the new 2018 Farm Bill. For the most current information available, please follow this link.
Technical Assistance
Whether or not funding is involved, landowners or land managers can obtain a conservation plan from NRCS. A conservation plan addresses all the resource concerns on your property. Resource concerns are addressed with time-tested scientifically developed practices to help you achieve the goals for your property or agricultural operation. NRCS has access to engineers, biologists, agronomists, soil scientists, etc. All these resources are available to you at no cost (except patience). Read more about the Conservation Technical Assistance program by clicking the link below.
Grant Projects
RiversEdge West assists in funding and management of restoration projects throughout the Colorado River Basin.

Follow the link below to contact the Private Lands Biologist. Join the list of interested private landowners to be included in the next riparian restoration grant-funded project in your area. Not directly on the river? Creeks and drainages count as riparian areas too!
Bridging the Gap
Riverside private landowners face the same challenges as public landowners, but the goals and desired outcomes can be very different. By focusing on the concerns of private landowners along the river corridors of Western Colorado, RiversEdge West hopes to bridge the gap in restoration assistance.
If you would like to schedule a site visit, or suggest additional content for this page please send an email to the Private Lands Biologist contact listed here.
RiversEdge West's
mission is to advance the restoration of riparian lands through collaboration, education, and technical assistance.

It's been a while....
I read a post my friend Cassie wrote on Facebook last Tuesday that kept referring to her husband in the past tense. He was this, he was that... surely she was battling with grammatical issues. I didn't want to believe that the past tense was referring to his death. It couldn't be true.
And then it hit me sideways - Sol died. Sol, Ryan's childhood friend who became like a brother to me while we grew up together. Sol, who struggled with life as we all do but always had a smile on his face and was quick to make a joke. Sol, who never stayed angry as he battled with relationships and things that challenged him. Sol, the father of Regan and Sawyer and the little miracle baby growing in Cassie's belly. Sol, who's cerebral palsy outwardly appeared a limiter but inwardly seemed to help him blossom and sculpted him into a loving, caring and accepting person.
I last saw Sol in Seattle in May. I was cleaning out my house in Seattle, reckoning with the ghosts of Ryan as we put the house in the market to sell. I came across a funny paper from Sol, chuckled and sent him a text. He insisted we catch up in person so I drove over to his house late one night and we hung out for several hours. He opened the door with a smile on his face, kids laughing in the background, so much love surrounding him. He showed me his house - the house he and Cassie had way more vision for than I did when they bought it years ago. He transformed it - into a design marvel - all with his own hands. Sol had this amazing ability to see the best in everything - to polish edges, to apply varnish, to work with his artistic hands and put in the effort to create something most of us would overlook or give up on long ago.
It'd been a few years since we last connected. We picked up right where we left off - catching up on life, asking the hard questions, seeing what each other were up to, really checking in. Sol had a way of letting you put your guard down, opening up and sharing with him your struggles and offering guidance to get through things. He listened, he didn't judge, he offered advice if you asked and gently guided you toward laughing about whatever troubled you.
In their basement is a small climbing wall. He built it for his kids to play with but partly in homage to Ryan. He asked what I was going to do with the climbing holds and asked for a couple to put on the wall - a symbolic act and a way to remember someone who touched us all.
I cried for hours after the news sunk in. And I know I'm not the only one. As soon as Cassie's post went up she received hundreds of messages about how Sol had touched them, how broken hearted they were to hear the news.
It's been nearly a week as I write this and I'm still tearing up. Losing someone like Sol is like losing a spiritual guide. I am so thankful for the time I shared with him and mourn the loss of such a great soul. I'm sure he and Ryan are having a great time together.
On Thursday friends and family are gathering at the house that Sol built to celebrate his life. I'm going, armed with the climbing holds that Sol asked for and sad but thankful for the time we shared together.

Smart Buildings
Is your building ready for the 4th Industrial Revolution?
Efficient resource management to optimise the use of energy, water, security, space and, ultimately, the people they support – this is a crucial component for businesses and residential developments as we move into the 4th Industrial Revolution.
The answer is simpler and faster to implement than you think – IoT.
Tracking of water, air-conditioning and electricity usage and the ability to action real-time changes for cost saving and improved efficiency.
Ability to consolidate all security systems and features into a single view incorporating CCTV, access control, smoke detection and number plate recognition.
Tracking available parking bays, boardroom usage and employees present on any given day all ensure that buildings are used optimally. In a retail environment, foot traffic into and movement around malls can be analysed alongside heatmaps, noise and temperature levels and parking usage.
Expedited response times, particularly during emergencies, coupled with more accurate location mapping and utility planning lead to improved patient satisfaction.
Tracking the number of people in an office that need to be catered for cuts down on food wastage, and cleaning can automatically be scheduled based on office usage.
Automatically trigger smart actions like work orders, service alerts and the technical fine-tuning of equipment in real-time.

It's time to get that pesky toilet seat issue resolved once and for all.
Chicago couples will get their chance to settle their disputes -- in front of a national TV audience no less -- when producers for the NBC show "The Marriage Ref" hit the city this weekend looking for men and women to be featured on the Jerry Seinfeld-created show.
Casting producers are looking for "outgoing and opinionated married couples that have a long-standing argument or issue that must be resolved."
Previous disputes that have been covered on the show range from arguments over stuffing the family pet or installing stripper poles in the bedroom.

This mango-turmeric smoothie is actually my husband's creation, as he's the smoothie master in our family ever since we first started blending smoothies in mornings. However, he's kind enough to let me take credit for it.
I can dedicate my early hours to activities that don't involve being in the kitchen – Tibetan hormonal gymnastics, sun salutation and getting myself ready in peace.
Vegetable-fruit smoothies have been our first breakfast for a few years now. Our daily dosage of omega 3-s (flax seeds), avocado's beneficial qualities and iodine (agar-agar) come from the morning smoothies. Our smoothies have quite high fat content (about 30% of calories), which is fine nonetheless, as we don't consume any oils and very few nuts during the rest of the day making the average consumption of fats 15-20% of total calories by the end of the day.
We have our grains in the form of oatmeal or muffin/bread an hour or two later when the smoothie has already been well digested and wouldn't mess with the grains.
Mango-Turmeric Smoothie is dedicated to being-sick-period, as was my very popular Ginger-Lentil Soup that I posted last week. The smoothie includes well-known natural remedies, i.e. ginger, lemon, black pepper, and turmeric.
We like to keep our smoothies a bit chunky and quite thick and not blend it too silky allowing the teeth to do some work as well. It's important to chew on your carbs as their digestion begins in the mouth.
Don't make your smoothies too liquid, especially if you are trying to lose weight or are struggling with blood sugar fluctuations. You'll consume a lot more calories and sugars (from fruits), if you drink your food instead of eating it properly. Add some whole seeds, e.g. sunflower seeds that would make you chew your food before swallowing it. Ground flax seeds also work very well, as they still remain a bit crunchy, even after grinding.
Mango-Turmeric Smoothie Recipe | 3 servings |
- If you have blueberries at home, top the smoothie with a few to enhance turmeric absorption even further.
- Put ¼ teaspoon of agar-agar (a jelly-like substance obtained from algae) in your morning smoothies or on your oatmeal to get your daily iodine dosage. ¼ tsp. (0.5g, 0.02oz) of agar-agar contains 180μg of iodine. The aim is to have an intake of 150μg a day.
- For some extra boost (if you are sick) you may add ginseng. Some studies have found that ginseng may boost the immune system. Check the dosage from package. Choose Korean (Panax ginseng) or Siberian (Eleuthero) ginseng as studies have found that those are more stimulating than American (Panax quinquefolius) ginseng.
- If you have problems with blood sugar fluctuation, you might want to leave the banana out. There'd be enough sweetness from mango and oat milk.
Nutritional info per serving (with oat milk): 202 kcal, 30.5g carbohydrates, 7.17g fats, 3.84g proteins, and 6.83g fibres.

Estate planning plays an important role in wealth management. It not only involves documenting how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass away, but it also addresses how you plan to look after yourself, both medically and financially, should you be in a situation where you are unable to make these decisions for yourself.
Ultimately, a complete estate plan gives you – and your family – peace of mind and the ability to avoid misunderstandings and potential tensions.
Estate planning can be a complex area with important tax and legal implications, and taking a do-it-yourself approach can be risky. That's why it makes sense to speak to your Mortgage Choice financial adviser, who after getting to know your situation can work with the right people to ensure you have an appropriate estate plan that addresses your wishes.
What do I need to consider?
Your financial situation, how your assets are structured (e.g. trusts and companies) and your family situation (e.g. nuclear, single-parent or blended family) are some of the more common factors that will determine your estate planning requirements.
Depending on your situation you may have simple Estate Planning needs or they may be more complex, however either way, you still need to think about what assets you own, and who you would like to have inherit them if anything happened to you.
Estate plans shouldn't be "set and forget"
Our lives don't stand still for long, and any major changes in your life should be a cue to speak with your financial adviser to update your estate plans.
Marriage, separation, divorce, and the arrival of children are all typical events that can trigger some fine-tuning of your estate plan. Other significant events that might trigger a review would be when you buy or sell a major asset.
As part of an ongoing advice relationship, your adviser can help you identify when the changes in your circumstances mean that it would be appropriate to review and update your estate plan.
The main takeaway is that your Mortgage Choice financial adviser can guide you across every life stage to help you develop, and maintain, an estate plan that continues to remain in line with your wishes.

You already know the importance of eating a healthy diet now that you're nourishing your growing baby. And now, with the publication of a recent study, you may have an excuse to snack on more yogurt: It turns out, the probiotics might reduce your risk of developing gestational diabetes (GDM), a condition which affects nearly one in 10 expecting women.
What the study looked at
A number of previous studies have found that probiotics may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Experts think that might be because these good bacteria help boost your gut microbiome (the viruses and bacteria that make up a huge portion of the cells in your body), reducing inflammation and helping your body more efficiently process glucose. So researchers in New Zealand focused on pregnant women, giving 187 a daily pill with the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 (a type often found in infant formula) and 189 a placebo pill containing no probiotics. The study was double-blind, meaning neither the researchers nor the women knew who got the probiotic and who got the placebo. Women started taking the pill every day between 14 to 16 weeks of pregnancy, and they were tested for gestational diabetes between 24 to 30 weeks of pregnancy.
What the study found
Overall, women who were at greater risk of a GDM diagnoses — those 35 or older and/or who had GDM in a previous pregnancy — were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. And using the New Zealand definition for gestational diabetes (which has a lower threshold for diagnoses than other international standards), the women who took the probiotic supplements were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with GDM — at 2.1 percent versus 6.5 percent of the women taking placebo.
What this means for you
Taking steps to prevent or keep gestational diabetes under control is important, since the condition has been linked to increased risk of preeclampsia, miscarriage, preterm birth, macrosomia, labor induction, and C-section. So be sure to take steps to reduce your risk, including fitting in pregnancy-safe workouts most days of the week, eating a healthy pregnancy diet and watching your pregnancy weight gain. All women should also get screened for gestational diabetes at between 24 to 28 of pregnancy, since catching the disease early on vastly reduces your chances of complications.
Keep in mind that although yogurt is made with different types of probiotics and has lower concentrations of the gut-healthy bacteria than the pill in this study, it's also a great source of calcium and protein — making it an excellent meal choice if you're expecting. Look for yogurt with the "Live and Active Culture" seal, choose plain over flavored (which is often loaded with sugar), and opt for Greek (which has more protein). And if you would like to take a probiotic supplement, check in with your doctor first.

For various people who have wondered about the man's religious devotion — especially in light of his recent testimony before Congress — I found this snip from an interview in 2009:
Would your family all sing carols on Christmas Eve?
Sure, we'd process through the house, and we still do it. My family is 50 people now — nieces and nephews and that sort of thing — and we process from the youngest to the oldest. The youngest puts the baby Jesus in the manger on Christmas Eve and we sing "Silent Night." It's very traditional.
Does faith still play a big part in your life?
Very much. I am highly variable in my devotion. From a doctrinal point of view or a dogmatic point of view or a strictly Catholic adherent point of view, I'm first to say that I talk a good game, but I don't know how good I am about it in practice. I saw how my mother's faith was very valuable to her and valuable to my brothers and sisters, and I'm moved by the words of Christ, and I'll leave it at that.
But you do teach Sunday school?
I teach the seven year olds. I'm the catechist for their first communion.

RIP. Linkin Park's Chester Bennington chose to take his own life. We'll miss you man
Heartbroken ? Rest In Peace Chester Bennington. Your music was a huge part of our lives growing up. Thank you for everything. ? pic.twitter.com/nleIHycFIS
— Counter Logic Gaming (@clgaming) 20 juli 2017
Linkin Park's lead singer Chester Bennington this night chose to take his own life by hanging. He is survived by his wife and six children. There's not a whole lot we can say that hasn't already been said in the tweet above.
Bennington was close friends with Sound Garden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell with whom he sang the occasional duet. He committed suicide two months ago. Bennington performed "Hallelujah" at his funeral.
The last video below is a 5-month-old interview in which Bennington enthusiastically emphasised the importance of "having a perspective". Painful stuff. Rest in peace man, and thanks for everything.

Address: 5th Street & 3rd Avenue West
Hector King-Hunter Pioneer Park, in Hanna Alberta is an oasis in the prairie. Established by dedicated volunteers, the Town recently accepted the request to maintain the 3 acre park. This park provides citizens and visitors alike with a pleasant place to wander or rest. Stroll along the pathway past colorful floral displays and water features. Or leave the path to relax under shady trees or shrubs.
Named for one of its dedicated volunteers, Hector King-Hunter, the park holds memories for many people as numerous weddings, picnics, photo shoots, church and family events have all taken place within its lush foliage. The outdoor stage from the nearby Community Centre is a natural amphitheater setting, allowing viewers to enjoy live music and entertainment during special events such as Canada Day. Keeping with tradition, the Hanna Young Lions Club recently constructed and donated a large gazebo with seating for 10 in the south east portion of the park. The next time you are in Hanna ease your tensions and embrace the peaceful atmosphere by visiting Hector King-Hunter Pioneer Park on 5th Street and 3rd Avenue West. It's "Worth the Drive".

Beginning in 1483, when Lauffenmühle was mentioned for the first time, through 1834, its founding year as a textile company, the company has continuously developed into a state-of-the-art all-process textile company specialized in the development and production of fabrics for professional and protective clothing.
With its history, which includes over 180 years of experience in textile production, Lauffenmühle is now a Europe-wide name for textile innovation, owing largely to its permanent investment in new technologies and an active participation in research projects in addition to a very close cooperation with textile institutes.
Lauffenmühle has always known how to adapt to the needs of the times – and the demands of the market. There were, for example, "high-times" for denim, for corduroy fabrics and for a long period of time also for fashionable flat fabrics.
Today, the company is a European leader in the development and production of first-class fabrics for high-quality professional and protective clothing, as well as for customized company clothing. Understandably therefore, sustainability is firmly anchored in the corporate strategy.

Jane Frank
Childhood was burnt winter air,
smoke-hazed sunsets,
the rush to remove clothes from lines
as soot rained like black snow.
An angry front raged across the river,
devouring fields, tinder-dry,
bandicoots and snakes fleeing
only to be scooped up by birds.
We danced with charcoal feet
under cold skies, ash still falling.
Later with skin scrubbed pink
I'd watch embers through glass,
last orange specks
against a scorched silhouette,
forever a slave to sweetness.
Jane Frank now lives and writes in Brisbane, Australia but lived in Scotland for a number of years in the 1990s. It is her second home! Her poems have appeared in Australian Poetry Journal, Westerly, Writ, Snorkel, Antiphon, Northwords Now, Poets Republic, London Grip and elsewhere. She teaches in Humanities at Griffith University in south east Queensland.

Chitosan is a biopolymer having huge possibilities when it comes to chemical and mechanical structural changes. These physicochemical properties confer to the polymer numerous areas of applications, in particular in the area of water treatment. From the environmental point of view, this will result in a much lower risk of toxicity for the treated waters. In addition, the sludge produced would be in lesser quantity, with a better biodegradability and a low metal content. Shells of red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus and Aristaeomorpha foliacea) fished locally 45 km to the west of Algiers, were used as raw materials for the extraction of chitosan by deproteinization, demineralization and deacetylation. The final product was characterized by different methods (FTIR, potentiometric titration, SEM, DRX); the deacetylation degree of chitosan was found to be around 75%, which was compared in the rest of this study with commercial chitosan at 95% deacetylation degree. In most cases, this polymer is used as adsorbent in its solid form, but it can also be used in the dissolved state in the coagulation-flocculation process. This work is concerned with the use of dissolved chitosan for the removal of sulfonated azo dyes. Amongst the important parameters affecting the coagulation-flocculation process are the coagulant dose and the initial pH. The best removal rates were found to be between 50% and 55% in acidic media around pH 3. The dye coagulation mechanism appears to be governed by charge neutralization. The dye sulfonic groups being attracted to protonated amino groups of chitosan in the colored solution.
Key words: Red shrimp, chitosan, characterization, coagulation-flocculation, sulfonated azo dyes

'Purchased Lives' at THNOC is a Must Visit For New Orleans Visitors and Locals
Written by
Adam Karlin
I reflected, while traversing the Historic New Orleans collection's latest exhibit, Purchased Lives: New Orleans and the Domestic Slave Trade, 1808–1865, that seeing the exhibit without experiencing at least a little discomfiture seemed improbable. The space is that emotionally unsettling, and indeed, I haven't felt as physically uncomfortable in a museum since visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
Then I wondered if my recent introduction to fatherhood had something to do with my reaction. When you have children, it becomes much easier and palpable to imagine the pain – the worst experience imaginable – of having your offspring ripped from your arms, and Purchased Lives, which delves into the history of the domestic American slave trade, hits you again and again with the fact that in New Orleans, during the 19th century, thousands upon thousands of children were stolen from their parents, in broad daylight, with enthusiastic backing from the public and private institutions of the day.
In the end, I think anyone would be shattered by Purchased Lives. The scar of the slave trade is simply that ugly; no matter who you are, the awful implications are universally appreciable.
We don't hide our love for New Orleans at this website, or our belief that the city is exceptional, a place that possesses singular qualities compared to the rest of the USA, and indeed, world. But we also recognize New Orleans has a long history packed with pain, and in that vein, I've never seen such trauma so thoughtfully explored and explained outside of Purchased Lives. It's a testament to the materials possessed by THNOC, and that organization's willingness to explore angles of our past that don't fit the moonlight and magnolia cliche.
The exhibit explores this historical truth: for the first half of the 19th century, New Orleans was the capital of the domestic slave trade. Said 'industry' – admittedly an inoffensive term for an offensive practice – flourished here after the international slave trade was outlawed in the USA in 1808.
The reasons why are easy to apprehend: New Orleans was the major port of the then-slaveholding South, and the access point to the river that served as highway into the American interior. While I was dimly aware of this fact even before going to THNOC, the actual implications of what this all meant didn't become concrete until I walked through the exhibit.
It was a mournful scene indeed. I would have cried myself if I had dared.Solomon Northup, describing the New Orleans slave market in 'Twelve Years a Slave.'
Because slaves could not be brought in from the Caribbean and Africa, they were internally imported from the Upper South—Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, DC—into the expanding plantations of the Lower South—Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
As Purchased Lives makes clear, an entire private sector grew out of this forced human migration, one that did not end until the Civil War (which itself effectively ended 150 years ago almost to the day with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9). House slaves were dressed in Brooks Brothers clothing. Stock trading was predicated on the slave economy. Insurance policies were taken out on slaves, and they were considered taxable income by the state.
Slave transportation became an entire sub-section of the shipping industry. Isaac Franklin, the richest man in the South for much of his life, was also the largest slave trader in New Orleans. His personal fleet included boats dedicated to moving human chattel. In the exhibit, visitors learn that some of the plantations Franklin purchased with his slave trading fortune were eventually turned into modern Angola penitentiary.
What is perhaps most striking about the THNOC exhibit is how it highlights the normalcy of slavery. Visitors see ledger books that were the 19th century equivalent of a New Orleans Yellow Pages; names, addresses and occupations are given, and many of those jobs are titled 'Slave Trader.' In another area, one sees collected newspaper classifieds for slaves – a Craigslist that ends with the breakup of parents from children. An early Touro Hospital sign-in book has a column for the owners of visiting slave patients.
The Omni Royal Hotel, which stands at the corner of St Louis and Chartres St, was once the St Louis Hotel. The grand domed entrance of the St Louis once housed one of the busiest slave auction blocks in the country, and up until the 1950s, photos of said block were sold as postcards to tourists.
I could go on, but suffice to say Purchased Lives is, I believe, the most powerful museum exhibition currently on display in New Orleans. It respectfully asks us to examine our past, and while the part of the past it examines is a painful one, it becomes clear said history is but one element of the identity of New Orleans. Understanding that identity is part of appreciating this place, and I left THNOC with a greater desire to learn more about my city.
A powerful description of the slave market in New Orleans is provided in the memoir Twelve Years A Slave, basis of the movie of the same name; author Solomon Northup's account of the auction block is provided here. Fair warning, it's a tough read.
For more information on Purchased Lives, including a schedule of lectures and related programming, visit the exhibition's website.

In 1900, after two years of teaching at Wesleyan University, Woodrow Wilson and family packed their bags and moved to New Jersey, where he accepted a professorship at his alma mater, Princeton University. Although Wilson had been happy in Connecticut, he still felt that he was not achieving his full academic and professional potential, and reasoned that Princeton would provide more opportunities to do so. While at Princeton he wrote and published Division and Reunion in 1893, a work that charted the course of American history from the 1830s to Reconstruction after the Civil War. He also published a biography of George Washington in 1897 and published a large five-volume History of the American People in 1902. In addition to his books, Wilson also authored dozens of magazine articles, editorials, pamphlets, and essays. He intended to write a crowning work that he planned to call The Philosophy of Politics, but was called to other duties before he even began to research the subject.
Just as at Bryn Mawr College and Wesleyan, Wilson was received at Princeton with much enthusiasm; he was lauded as an excellent professor of political economy and jurisprudence who could make his lectures both interesting and informative. He also taught public administration, English law, international law, and constitutional law. Hundreds of students attended his lectures; his popularity was unequaled. His fame as an orator and teacher spread throughout the American academic world. While a professor at Princeton, Wilson was offered the chairmanship of the history departments at the University of Chicago and at Johns Hopkins University (to replace his former professor Dr. Herbert Adams), and he was offered the presidency of numerous other schools, including the University of Illinois and the University of Virginia. Yet he declined to accept any of the offers, preferring to remain at the school he loved. His twelve years as a Princeton professor were among his most challenging and stimulating.
Ever a religious man, Wilson and his wife Ellen joined the Second Presbyterian Church in 1897. That same year, Woodrow also became a governing elder of the church. In 1905, after trying to unite the First and Second Presbyterian Churches into one body, he withdrew his membership from the Second congregation and entered the First as an elder. Throughout this period Wilson retained every ounce of the strict sense of morality that his father and the church had instilled in him during his youth.
Wilson also became a leader among the Princeton faculty members. During his teaching years at Princeton, many both inside and outside the university believed the quality of education had been waning and that Princeton was losing its place among the nation's top schools. Many of the teachers, led by Wilson, cried for higher standards and better leadership to guide the university into the new century. When the university's president, Dr. Francis L. Patton, caved into popular demand and resigned his position, the faculty and trustees of the school looked to Wilson to lead them, unanimously electing him president of the university in 1902. He was the first Princeton president who had not previously been a clergyman.
President Wilson stepped up to the task of strengthening and reorganizing Princeton with vigor, and was blessed for the first five or six years with almost complete support from the faculty, trustees, and even students. Furthermore, for the first time in his career, he was in a position to write policy and to make changes. Wilson began a series of reforms designed to convert the school from a "place where there are youngsters doing tasks to a place where there are men thinking." The reformist attitude and tendencies he developed during these years would stick with him throughout the remainder of his political career.
The first task Wilson set out to accomplish was reorganizing the university budget to fund his visionary reforms. With a check for six million dollars from the trustees, he set about allocating money to various departments, including the undergraduate college, a new school for science, a fund for new teachers and facilities, a new graduate school, a school of jurisprudence, a natural history museum, and a school for electrical engineering. He then set about redesigning the methods of teaching undergraduates, transforming the system to a style modeled after a program used at Oxford University. Entitled the preceptorial system, this method of teaching brought small groups of students together under the tutelage of a professor trained in their chosen field rather than in large impersonal lecture halls. The system was devised to stimulate thinking, student-teacher interaction, and discussion rather than requiring students to memorize information. Nothing like the preceptorial system existed anywhere else in the United States at the time, and it quickly helped push Princeton back up into the ranks of elite American universities. Many modern universities and colleges throughout the country now have similar programs based on Wilson's revolutionary method.

Another couple of months….another yeast infection. I had a meltdown in bed yesterday and broke down sobbing about it, mainly because I'm just so damn sick of my body and everything that seems to go wrong with it, but also because with the dry, itching, burning I was feeling, I knew that there was no way that I could remotely attempt to have sex in the next week if I didn't do something about it quickly. I was worried that Diflucan isn't safe to take while TTC, but after doing a bit of poking around on the internet, Hubs read on multiple sites that it leaves your system in 3-4 days, which is fine timing wise for us right now. So I popped yet another Diflucan this month, and this morning my symptoms have magically disappeared. I should be happy, right? The truth is, I'm just pissed. I'm pissed at the whole situation. My body feels like the rusted 1988 Toyota Carolla hatchback I drove in in high school that would only go 45mph up hills on the freeway, and whose transmission was so shot that the car jerked every time it changed gears. I remember driving home on the freeway one day, and just seeing all of these cars whizz past me…this is what it feels like to be left behind.
To add insult to injury, I spoke to my mom on the phone yesterday, and gave her an update on where I'm at with all of the fertility meds and stuff. I should preface this by saying that my mom's remarks are never done to be malicious, spiteful, or know-it-all. She feels incredibly bad and anxious for Hubs and I, and is genuinely concerned with how I'm coping with this. The problem is, my mom is fertile. At 53 years old, she gets her period like clockwork every month, and it's still as heavy and crampy as it was when she was 20. She tries to put herself into my shoes, but it's an impossibility. When I was first trying to figure out my PCOS and any sort of natural remedies for it, her advice was to "relax and eat whatever I wanted. Gain some weight, and you will ovulate." Thanks, mom, but I'm well within the normal weight range, and have 25% body fat. I'm not some gymnast or Olympic sprinter or something.
Last night, after telling her about my second round of Clomid, the HSG, and how stressful this whole thing was, she tried to be helpful by saying that I should try not to put a lot of pressure on having sex at all the right times. I should just "relax and have sex when I feel in the mood, and see what happens."
Advice for the two fertile people who read my blog simply because they are riveted about my cervical mucus: This is not. I repeat. Not. The advice you want to give an infertile who has just finished 100mg of Clomid–or any person struggling with infertility, to be precise.
Needless to say, I unleashed.
Me: Have sex only when I'm in the mood??? In the mood? Gee! I didn't think of that! Maybe then, a magical mood baby will appear in my uterus.
Mom: Ummm…
Me: So you're telling me that after pumping my body full of ovulation inducing chemicals, getting my uterus scraped, and doing everything I can to figure out when I can actually catch an egg, because FYI–there's about a 36 hour window that this can happen, I should scrap all of that, and cross my fingers that these magical 36 hours my egg is viable match up with my mood?
Mom: Hmm. I guess that wasn't a good idea….
Me: No. No, it wasn't. I can't expect you to understand about this. You didn't even know what a two week wait was. (she didn't, by the way. Did you know that many fertiles don't know about the TWW? They just miss a period and then take a pregnancy test.)
Mom: I'm sorry. You're right…that was a bad idea.
I know she's sorry. I know she doesn't know what the fuck to say to me that will make it better, and she's grasping at straws here to try to connect with me, but it just makes me so damn sad. If she had one iota of a clue about how much I miss having sex with my husband when we're relaxed and in the mood, she would never have said that. Hubs and I are struggling right now to keep that spark alive, but it's so hard. He had to jizz in a cup in a cold jizz room at my RE's office a couple of days ago to get his sperm checked. This is not the kind of association he wants to have with sex, but there it is, staring at him from the bottom of a plastic cup and a chair diaper (did you know they make the guys jerk off on a big chair diaper in case of spillage?) I miss my marriage the way it was, and I want it back. I want my sexy husband back, too.

For those needing a quick summary, here are 8 essential points made in the book.
(1) Religion is very old:
Religion is as old as humanity; there is physical evidence of this. The fact that humans are mortal is an important source of religious belief and, as long as humans continue to die, religion will remain. The call of the New Atheists, i.e., Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, for the end of religion, is futile.
(2) This all started with the Big Bang:
Humanity has resulted from a natural process that began with the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, the formation of the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, and evolution by natural selection. This view is consistent with atheist thinking, but the author differs on many other points. All humans are members of a single subspecies of social animals, which has important implications for equality among us and reciprocal duties of each of us towards all others.
(3) There are no miracles:
The physical laws of the universe are never violated–there are no miracles. Human life as we know it will not end with the coming of a Messiah or a Day of Judgment, but by a natural cosmic occurrence, such as asteroid impact or aging of the sun, unless willfully destroyed beforehand by our own perverse actions.
(4) The spiritural world is unknowable:
The existence of a Spiritual World, populated by supernatural beings and souls, is simply unknowable. This view differs with the assertions of both believers and atheists.
(5) "Sacred" is the highest ideal:
The concept of the "sacred," while employed only in a religious context by theorists such as Mircea Eliade and Clifford Geertz, may be used secularly to define the highest ideals guiding human actions. The US Declaration of Independence contains an example. Just governance is a sacred ideal to be strived for.
(6) Humans can control religion:
Religion has been responsible for considerable violence from earliest times; humans can take specific actions to minimize it. Separation of church and state must be defended vigilantly; fundamentalists continually try to undermine it. Adherents of each religion should work to eliminate denigrating statements about non-believers in their liturgies and by their leaders.
(7) Moderate religious practice is common; fanaticism is much less so:
The New Atheists are incorrect in several assertions about religion. It does not invariably lead to fanaticism, as claimed. When all worldwide observances are considered, headline-generating terrorism is rare. Theological agreement is only one possible reason for people to adhere to a religion. Social relationship is another; so is group solidarity, particularly for ethnic minorities. Religion is an important aspect of culture. The desire of Dawkins for all children to be raised in a religion-free environment is a delusion. The claim of Hitchens that male circumcision has no health benefits is incorrect, in light of recent medical findings.
(8) Attitudes of the New Atheists are similar to those of religious fundamentalists:
The New Atheists have much in common with religious fundamentalists; both read the holy scriptures literally, with no understanding of the interpretations which make them applicable to the present day. The assertion by Sam Harris that "Judaism is ridiculous in its literalism" demonstrates total ignorance of that religion.

Why Do My Tweens Still Believe in the Tooth Fairy?
I used to worry that my kids would figure out the tooth fairy wasn't real. I mean, there have been plenty of mornings when one of my kids gasped in horror because the tooth fairy had inexplicably not shown up.
One time, the tooth fairy was MIA for THREE nights in a row – a record in our house for dismal parenting.
I would stammer my way through some pathetic excuse like, "She can't fly in the rain because it ways down her wings!" Or, "She must have gotten busy at the zoo. I heard a lot of baby animals lost their teeth recently." And somehow – they would believe me.
And they just kept believing.
My just turned 11 year old recently lost another tooth and said to me, "Why is our tooth fairy so cheap? I get like 2 dollars. Some of the kids in my class get 20 dollars. Are there different tooth fairies? Or does the tooth fairy just give us less?"
Hmmm… Those are some very good, thought provoking questions. And honestly, a part of me wanted to say, "There's no tooth fairy!! The jig is up! It's me. And your dad. And sometimes we forget. And we have five kids so we can't be giving out twenty dollar bills every time one of you children bites into an apple and loses a tooth!"
But I don't.
Because that dumb tooth fairy is still magical with her fairy dust (AKA glitter) and bundles of cash. And the "believing" is so damn optimistic.
While I consider all this, my daughter is still staring at me – wanting to know what's up with our economically challenged tooth fairy.
So I answer with one of the best responses I've come up with in parenting.
"I really don't know."
I continued.
"I don't know why the tooth fairy sometimes gives out different amounts. But let's be grateful she comes at all. Because it's a pretty cool thing."
That night I tucked $5 in my daughter's tooth fairy pillow (yes, I had apparently been guilted into giving more than my usual 2 bucks), sprinkled some fairy dust on her nightstand and took a moment to be grateful.
Grateful, that against all odds, my children still believed in magic.

desert flower...
it's always just awe inspiring to me how easy my life is compared to so many others that share this earth with me. makes me grateful, but also indebted. i am indebted to whatever it is that brought me to the circumstances of such an easy life. i should do more, i should make more of an impact. i have so much yet give so little.
in many ways, an easy life isn't the gift we all think it is. it makes us lazy and unappreciative and whiney.

Sometimes going for the literal makes for one of the coolest fliers. And when that means showing off a picture of what appears to be an exploding birthday cake, the result is even cooler.
So is the case with this poster for indie rockers Bomb the Music Industry and pop band Happy Birthday's concert Sunday, August 8 at The Trunk Space in Phoenix.
"I had an old picture, from I don't know when, and it seemed to work," says The Trunk Space owner JRC. While the flier design idea was simple, this is a special show for the intimate venue. JRC points out Bomb the Music Industry usually plays spots twice as big as The Trunk Space, so this is your chance to hear and group up-close-and-personal. And giving the national acts some love are locals Andrew Jackson Jihad.

"This show is straight up and down kick-ass," JRC says.
See for yourself when the music kicks off at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 in advance through www.thetrunkspace.com and $10 at the door.
