Facing West: Camera Portraits from the Bancroft Collection
Exhibit - Photography | November 29, 2018 – March 15, 2019 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday | 10 a.m.-4 p.m. | Bancroft Library, Bancroft Gallery
The first part of a double exhibition celebrating the tenth anniversary of the renewed Bancroft Library and its gallery, Facing West 1 presents a cavalcade of individuals who made, and continue to make, California and the American West. These camera portraits highlight the communities and peoples of Hubert Howe Bancrofts original collecting region, which extended from the Rockies to the Pacific Islands and included Mexico and Central America. They represent photographic techniques, formats, and genres from the
Gold Rush era to the present, from the daguerreotype to the digital, from the panoramic to the personal, and from the studio to the street. In them we see ourselves and others through time, light, and lens.
Portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Muhammad Ali and Albert Einstein are on display. These famous faces along with the everyday people who make up the fabric of the West are part of a stunning new portrait exhibit at The Bancroft Library.

At the beginning of April I was forced to pull myself together and start working out again. 5-6 days a week, sometimes twice a day. I told ManFriend that it was because I want to do a Tin Man Triathlon, which is true(ish). Truthfully there is a far, far less dignified reason.
It all began not so long ago, in a house that was probably this one...
*insert wavy flashback sequence effect*
Home alone, I was dragging my carcass upstairs when *touch* I felt a light brush on my lower back. Just a gentle touch, almost a caress right above my bottom. I looked behind me. No one was there. Warily, I turned back to the monumental task of climbing the stairs.
There it was again! Quick look behind me, still no one there. Being the rational, intelligent person that I am I immediately used my Powers of Reason to come to a plausible conclusion as to the cause of the personal space violation.
|The victim always gets the blame in ghost rape scenarios.
It turns out every laboured step I'd taken had jostled my ass upwards then violently downwards, each motion amplified by next step until there were veritable tsunamis of ass fat roaring their way up my backside. Each wave of surplus flesh had crested against my back in whole hearted claps. I like to think that, in it's own way, my ass was giving me high fives of encouragement, saying, "you can do it tubby, you can do stairs."
The fear that I might destroy buildings with the next ass tsunami drove me back to the gym. And that's the truth.

Parody video takes a Facebook 'Look Back' at Lane Kiffin's coaching career
Are you tired of seeing all of those Facebook "Look Back" videos of your friends clogging up your newsfeed?
Well, there's good news and there's bad news.

The bad news is that this is another one.
The good news is that it's a parody version about Lane Kiffin's coaching career and it's hilarious.

WIth the release of Xbox One, you're inevitably going to be needing a few days off from work to bask in all of its wondrous glory. Well, the fine folks at Microsoft has that all figured out for you. They have provided a perfectly detailed note from your "Entertainment Therapy" MD, letting you off the hook from any obligations for a day...or five.
To whom it may concern,
Due to the Zombie Flu your employee will not be able to fulfill the scheduled commitment he/she has with you. Because of the severity of this condition I'm prescribing a heavy dose of Xbox One. He needs to destroy zombies.
After a thorough examination, I've concluded that the all-in-one entertainment system is the only cure for the aforementioned condition.
This treatment may take anywhere from 1-3 days to work and will require years of accumulating achievements thereafter. If the patient is disrupted with work, I will have to double the prescribed amount of Xbox One.
If used effectively, Xbox One can help relieve the patient's entertainment deprivation and will have an increased state of happiness at all times.

| 3.6°C Belfast
Manufacturing export growth reached a near three-year high in January as the sector continued its strong pace of growth into the new year.
New order growth came from North America, mainland Europe, Asia, Brazil, Scandinavia and the Middle East.
However the reading of 56.7 for the sector as a whole on the closely watched CIPS/Markit purchasing managers' index (PMI) survey - where the 50 mark separates growth from contraction - marked a three-month low, down from 57.2 in December.
While the overall figure was lower than expected it was still above average and new exports were at their highest level since February 2011, while jobs increased for the ninth month in a row.
The first month of this year saw factories churn out more goods in response to improved domestic and overseas demand.
David Noble, chief executive at the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply, said: "The continued improvement in global market conditions has ushered in a broad based and fully fledged recovery in manufacturing.
"Sustaining growth close to November's near record numbers, the makers' march continued in January, embodied by ever faster rates of new business growth and ongoing increases in employment levels.
"Whilst domestic demand continues to climb, it is the expansion overseas that promises continued growth.
"The illusive export market has long been heralded as the key to unlock UK economic growth and in manufacturing appears to be coming to fruition, with new business rates climbing fastest in nearly three years."
Markit economist Rob Dobson said the sector had continued the robust upsurge in production seen at the tail end of 2013, with the broad-based improvement being felt at small business and large-scale producers alike.
"Although the pace of output expansion has cooled slightly in recent months, growth is still tracking at one of the highest rates in the 22-year survey history," he said.
He said the jobs growth added to the prospect of unemployment soon falling to its 7% threshold - when policy makers will begin to consider an interest rate rise.
Mike Rigby, head of manufacturing at Barclays, said: "2014 has started in the same upbeat way for manufacturers as last year finished with increasing confidence across the sector.
"A growing economy, record low interest rates, stable input prices and foreign exchange rates are providing manufacturers with a steadier platform upon which to perform."
James Knightley of ING Bank said: "The UK manufacturing PMI has dipped a touch, but is still consistent with very strong growth."
He said the figures were consistent with a gross domestic product growth forecast of 3% and boosted hopes of investment spending picking up and driving recovery over coming years.

Don't look for a photo here. I almost always post a photo with my blog, a scan of an old document, the face of an ancestor or a photograph of a piece of treasured family memorabilia. Therefore, you are probably expecting a photo of the front of our house on its hill, draped in tasteful white lights along the roof line, around the big windows and wrapped perfectly around the front porch pillars. No inflatable figures or pink flamingos, of course, just a photograph equal to any magazine cover.
I do spend hours working on our photo Christmas card and yearly letter. I quilted our stockings and hung them with care. My husband cut down our tree and we decorated it with love. However, on the subject of outdoor lights, don't ask. We just don't have the skills. Ask our children. They laugh and say my husband just throws lights on the shrubs in the front of the house. We do not have the outdoor light gene. I will have to widen my genealogy research to uncover where this came from. Are we throwbacks to earlier ancestors or has this been passed down to every generation? I'd be happy to hear from anyone else who shares this rare gene. And, if you come to visit, please step inside quickly. It looks good inside.
Written in response to Geneabloggers Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories. Click on the link to read Christmas memories from other genealogists.
Cousins, do you have a Christmas memory you'd like to share? Let me know. I can add it to this Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories and maybe to the next family book. Contact me: cgbp[at]nycap.rr.com

Computer science needs overhaul
Keywords:computer science? grid power? Internet?
Katz showed that computers consume far too much energy when not in use. In addition, he described the trend toward massive data centers that will consist of warehouses packed with hundreds of shipping containers, each one loaded with computers, communications, power and cooling systems.
"It used to be you designed computers at the chip level, then we moved to the board level and then racks," said Katz, in a 40-minute keynote address at the event. "Now something like a 20-foot container is the basic building block of the aggregated systems we are building, and there is a completely new set of knowledge needed to build it.
"This is the emergence of the industrialization of the information technology industry," he said describing tomorrow's million-server data centers. "This is the aluminum smelting plant of the 21st Century, and we need to think about what knowledge we need to build these things if we want to be the IT builders of the 21st Century, aware of the energy issues," he said.
Grid evolution
Katz also described a new initiative at Berkeley called LoCal exploring the technologies needed to upgrade today's electric distribution grid. He called for an evolution toward a grid that could generate, store and switch energy flows on demand in ways similar to today's Internet.
"This will be a switching network that has energy and data flows integrated into it," Katz said. "That is not the way the current transmission architecture works."
Such an electric network could ultimately support an energy exchange where users can buy and sell power based on shifting demand. The LoCal group hopes to create some of the underlying algorithms to enable those transactions.
In a similar move, Jan Rabaey of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center said he has submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation to research a spectrum exchange. The proposal includes participation from business and regulatory thinkers as well as engineers.
"I believe we have to go away from spectrum as an assigned resource to something that is dynamically traded," Rabaey said. "We are already experimenting with a spectrum brokerage in a limited fashion," he added.
In another research report, Kris Pister, director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center, described his group's work on printable nanowires. The group has demonstrated a technique to print high quality transistors up to ten layers thick with enough complexity to make FETs, gas sensors and diodes. The team also used the process to make crystalline nanowires for photovoltaics that showed six percent efficiency.
"That's darned good for a first effort," said Pister. "With this process you can print electronics on paper or metal or non-flat surfaces," he added.
In another talk, Kameshwar Poolla of Berkeley's Impact center talked about his team's work on next-generation chip manufacturing technologies. The group is trying to bridge the increasing gap between the models chip designers use and the physical realities of devices built in the fab.
"We see a breakdown in the design and manufacturing interface," he said. "It's getting just too complicated."
For example, actual circuits do not have the rectangular gates used in the models of chip designers. Instead they show significant rounding and other imperfections that can significantly impact leakage estimates. One Berkeley team was able to find a way to use data about the physical imperfections to scale devices down by 20 percent without a loss of performance, he said.

If landing page bounce rates causing serious issues, if the unnecessary pay per click solutions are wasting both your time and money, than it is the time to work and optimize your landing page. Landing pages play vital role in e-mail marketing, pay per click, press releases, search engine marketing and in other aspects related to online marketing. Enhancement of your conversion rates strongly depend on the landing page. Let's have a look on some of the effective ways to effective optimization of your page:
Social Media offers numerous opportunities to companies to attract new customers and help spread brand awareness. The well planned social strategy can help companies to boost sales and bring profitable growth.
It is beyond doubt that social platforms are increasing in numbers because of the support provided by them to the businesses of all types. It enhances the online exposure with myriad of benefits both for organizations as well for consumers. At one end, where consumers get the platform to interact and engage in conversation and share their reviews, while at other end, organizations can take advantage of people's reviews for improving upon the services. Thus, social media offers various business opportunities.
These days, social media campaigns are run by different organizations to build brand awareness and improve upon the online presence. The study shows that around 61% of businesses use this platform to win over the customers. People recommend various products and services and even follow up their declared intention to make a purchase. Though there are few companies, almost insignificant figure to declare that social media campaigns hurt their reputation, but it may be the result of poor strategy adopted. Users' reviews, interaction and engagement have been found to be much beneficial in driving offline success, as many people gather the needed information and study reviews and feedback before making a purchase, either online or offline.
Many businesses even depend upon localizing their audience, depending upon the nature of business. Google listing, Bing local, etc have helped a lot to such businesses to help them increase their presence over internet. Google search is location specific, which gives companies to tap into the internet market. Bing Maps is also one of the powerful and effective tools that permit visitors to step into business interiors. Yelp reviews have also been successful in helping customers use social media to spread the message. Taking advantage of the fact that people like to study review first, before buying any product or service, this social platform has been useful in various ways.
It is important that the business should get as many positive reviews as possible. It is equally important to pay heed to negative reviews and even show willingness to act on them to attract customers.
Another major improvement that has been found to offer marketing assistance is bringing discounts and coupons to the Internet. The offerings act as incentives and attract new customers. Many sites have turned up with such offers to educated customers and attract them to make the purchase. Companies can take advantage of attracting customers, using this tactic. Another important method to drive offline sales it posting ads on websites with high traffic.

Have you ever thought of BASE jumping? With a wingsuit? In full winter conditions? In the dark? With two burning torches? Neither have we. But Patrick Kerber and his friends did – and the result, a photo by Christian Meier, looks amazing.
© Christian Meier / www.chrigel.li
"My friend Simon Wandeler and I have wanted to do a wingsuit BASE flight at night during winter for a very long time. But somehow we never really managed to do it," the Swiss wingsuit flyer says.
The idea picked up momentum after Kerber's friend, photographer Fabian Wyss approached him with an idea of attaching some kind of light to the jumper.
"When he told me his idea, I instantly understood what he wanted to do and could envision how this picture could turn out."
The first problem they faced was how to attach a light to the jumper that would be bright enough to be seen from a distance of about two kilometers. And of course it is not easy to attach a light to a wingsuit without changing the flying characteristics of the suit.
"Then I had the idea of attaching flares to myself, exactly like the ones used for rescue missions or emergencies. But flares burn very, very hot and my biggest fear was burning holes or melting the suit. That would have been super dangerous."
Another challenge was finding a proper location that could be accessed in winter conditions at night and also photographed. After some research and tests they chose one of Kerber's regular jumping spots, the east face of Titlis in Engelberg in Switzerland. The two photographers, Fabian Wyss and Christian Meier, stood on the other side of the valley on the Fürrenalp.
"There definitely was a lot of pressure – even though we did intense testing before, I did not know for sure how it would turn out. Having fire really close to you on a wingsuit BASE flight leaves no margin for error. Everything has to work out."
The big challenge for the image was timing. One single torch would burn for exactly one minute.
"I definitely did not want to open up my parachute with fire still around me, as this could be very dangerous. I only have one single parachute attached to me. If this one burns or melts, it's over!"
Kerber decided to use two torches. The first one he ignited before he took off and held in his right hand so it would be visible to the photographer. When the torch burned out, he quickly opened up his parachute and ignited a second torch attached to his foot. (That's the break in the red line in the image.)
"I only had 20 seconds to ignite the second one as it also burned for one minute and I only had 1 minute and 15 seconds to the landing area. I did not want to land with a flare still on fire, as this could be very dangerous for my gear and for myself. Even though there was snow where I landed, those torches burn so hot that they even burn underwater!"
Patrick Kerber has jumped at night before, but not in winter and only at full moon.
"The feeling was very intense and amazing. It is much harder to orientate yourself, as you can't see as well. It feels much more intense because you fly with more feeling and awareness of your body and movements."
For Kerber wingsuit flying is about freedom.
"For me freedom is a moment of pure perfection and pure happiness, a moment where all that matters is now."
Watch a behind the scenes video of Patrick Kerber's flight.

Just watched it for the second time (first being at the cinema in 3d)
Man I love this film so much. Probably one of the best films I've seen in the last 3 years!
Talk about life, the universe and everything.

Re: Dredd
Well I wouldn't fault it on the plot, the simplicity of it is the charm. (Like the original Assault on Precinct 13) (Also the film was in production since 2008, so any similarities are coincidence or just due to the pure straight forwardness of both films)Studdart wrote:I loved the film myself, my only problem with it being that it was pretty much the exact film as The Raid. With the added feature of the drugs.
Bue yeah, I think it was a fun gritty Dredd film, and hopefully we'll see more along these lines in the future.
I hope they make a sequel.

Sadly, from what i have heard on the internets. Due to how badly this did in the US i dont think it made the money back to make a sequel.

May is Mental Health Month and today in particular is Mental Health Blogging Day. I am a longtime sufferer of mental illness and an advocate for awareness and support through the community support website Band Back Together.
I think days like this are important to let others know that they are not alone in their struggles with mental health issues. Whether you are a sufferer, a friend, a family member, or an acquaintance of someone with a mental health issue, you can educate yourself and others and help make the world a more compassionate and supportive place.
My name is Crystal and I deal with mental illness on a regular basis.
Sometimes I don't act like ME because I suffer from chronic Depression (diagnosed at age 14), Anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (DES-NOS, specifically). I attend weekly therapy and take medication to help me manage these issues. I have difficulties managing my response to stressful situations and memories due to the way that my brain processes information/stimuli – multiple traumas throughout my life have impacted the way I view and experience the world around me.
Despite dealing with these issues for so much of my life, I can still live a normal life – I am not 'crazy.' I have a wonderful relationship with my husband and son. I have a great job at a place I've worked for the past 3.5 years. I have friends and hobbies and many of the same worries that others out there have.
Most days I am a very high functioning individual. Sometimes I need to step back from my responsibilities a little bit and focus on taking extra care of myself. There are those days when I can't get out of bed – on those days I need help from my support network of family and friends. I have fantastic people in my life who have helped me even when they don't know it.
I have heard various awful things said about those who suffer from mental illness over the years, even from people I love. The stigma of mental illness still leads people to state that they wouldn't vote for a politician who was known to have a mental disorder, or that those with a mental illness should not have children. It's disheartening to hear these things and I'm hopeful that as we speak out, the stigma will lift more and more.
If you or someone you know suffers from a mental illness, please take the time to educate yourself about the symptoms and effects on their life. If you would like to reach out to a community for support please visit Band Back Together.

November 21, 2012, Toronto, ON – The TORONTO BLUE JAYS WINTER TOUR, featuring players and personnel from the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club, will make stops in four Canadian cities in the month of January. The 2013 Tour will include an amateur baseball clinic, a salute to Canadian Forces, fan autograph sessions and other unique local community appearances.
The 3rd annual Blue Jays Winter Tour will continue to build on the team's effort to reach fans and communities across Canada.
Beginning in TORONTO with an amateur baseball clinic at Rogers Centre on January 5, the tour will continue west to WINNIPEG on January 6 and 7, SASKATOON on January 11, and EDMONTON on January 12 and 13. Blue Jays players will make a selection of appearances in each city throughout the tour with a complete list confirmed at a later date. As the Official Apparel Partner of the Winter Tour, Nike Canada Corp. will outfit all players and club personnel with Toronto Blue Jays apparel at all stops on the tour.
In Winnipeg, Blue Jays Players will interact with some of their younger fans while visiting ÉCOLE VAN WALLEGHEN before heading to Saskatoon where the Toronto Blue Jays and JAYS CARE FOUNDATION will host a luncheon in support of local community efforts.
In Edmonton, children and families from STOLLERY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL will have a special meet and greet with Blue Jays players. Additional scheduled appearances include an opportunity for fans of all ages to get up close and meet the players at scheduled autograph sessions at POLO PARK SHOPPING CENTRE (Winnipeg), CREDIT UNION CENTRE (Saskatoon) – prior to game time for the Western Hockey League's Saskatoon Blades – and WEST EDMONTON MALL (Edmonton).
"When we re-launched the BLUE JAYS WINTER TOUR in 2010 we had a vision of sharing our enthusiasm for baseball with all our fans across the country. The ability to reach out to communities outside of the GTA has signified our commitment as a representative for baseball for the entire nation. The reaction we have received from our fans on recent tours is an indication that the passion for baseball and the Blue Jays is alive and well and we look forward to each tour stop with much anticipation" – Paul Beeston

Hi all,
The LEGO Adventure Book, Volume 1 will be shipping out next week from NoStarch Press. This book was edited by Megan Rothrock, and includes models from a great lineup of AFOLs, several of whom are CC members. NoStarch has an ongoing 40% off promotion on all of their LEGO books (including things like the Cult of LEGO and the Unofficial LEGO Builders Guide) if you order before October 31.
I'm waiting to get my copy, but from what I've seen this includes great original models in all sorts of themes, both official and fan-created things like steampunk, including of course castle. This Flickr group includes various page views and pictures of models that people built for this project.
Note, btw, that this is 'volume 1', indicating that we can expect more of the same to come.

Glenn Ligon: AMERICA opens to the public on Sunday—and is on view now for members. In anticipation of the opening, we asked the artist a few questions about his first major retrospective.
Glenn Ligon, Self-Portrait, 1996, collection of the artist, courtesy of the artist and Regen Projects, Los Angeles, © Glenn Ligon, photograph by Ronald Amstutz
The word "America" appears in some of your works (including in Rückenfigur, acquired by LACMA in 2010) as well as the title of the exhibition. Why did you choose that for the title of your retrospective?
The word appears in many of the texts I have used in paintings and neons, and American history and culture has long been the subject of the work. Using the word "America" as the title of the exhibition was a good way to sum up that ongoing interest.

Early in your career, paint on canvas was your medium. What inspired you to eventually move into other mediums, including photography, drawings, sculpture, and neon?
I chose to work in other mediums because they allowed me to more succinctly address the issues I was grappling with in the work. For instance, the piece Notes on the Margin of the Black Book started as a drawing project but I quickly realized that if I was going to comment on Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs it made more sense to use the actual images than to recreate them.
Glenn Ligon, Notes on the Margin of the Black Book, 1991-1993, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; gift of the Bohen Foundation, © Glenn Ligon
Notes on the Margin of the Black Book is a reflection on the cultural debates surrounding Robert Mapplethorpe at the time. What was it about Mapplethorpe, or the greater debate, that compelled you to do that piece?
The debates around those photos were a snapshot of larger debates going on in the culture about representation, sexuality, censorship, the role of art in the culture, etc. The piece was an attempt to broaden the range of reference in my work.
How does it feel, thirty years into your career, to see so much of your work presented in whole? To see your works from the 1980s juxtaposed against more recent works?
Retrospectives are a good way to see what you have done and what you still have to do. It is a fantastic opportunity to see things I have not seen in years.

REDWOOD CITY — A couple face human trafficking charges after allegedly depriving four prostitutes of food and providing illegal drugs that propelled them during all-night work, authorities said Tuesday.
Sate Jones and his girlfriend Maria Jimenez, both 25, were due in San Mateo County Superior Court Tuesday on the felony charges that alleged they forced the three women and a 17-year-old girl in prostitution at a South San Francisco hotel, said District attorney Steve Wagstaffe. They were being held in San Mateo County jail as a third suspect was being sought.
A tip from an observant hotel clerk led police to arrest Jones, a Pacifica resident, and Jimenez of San Francisco Saturday at an unspecified hotel on Airport Boulevard. The clerk thought it suspicious that man dropped off four young women, two days in a row, and then drove off after they rented two separate rooms.
The clerk called police and they interviewed the four young women. During questioning with police they revealed they had been recruited by three suspects to have sex with customer for money.
The women went on to tell authorities "they were repeatedly given illegal narcotics in order to keep them working all night," South San Francisco police said. The prostitutes had also been periodically been deprived of food, they said.
Police said they found evidence that backed up the prostitutes' claims, but didn't specify. Authorities also said they know the name of the third suspect and were looking for him.

Pixelmon Generations 1.4.1 Server
While I do understand the uncertain nature of the future for this mod, I believe updating would be the best thing for the community and the life of this server. We could always keep a back up copy of the currant server in place of the Dark Beta now maybe?
I greatly enjoy playing with this community and I think the best way to bring in new people and move forward is to update.
Just one Doc's opinion though :)
Hoarder of Choray Try Hard Points!
10/11,000 till shiny Mew!
I'm also in the group that's against updating. Yes, new stuff is always nice, but new stuff at the expense of dozens of new bugs and a dev team that seems too impatient to properly test their features before releasing them is just not a good idea. Plus, if (when) Nintendo comes after them, since they are using current gen Pokemon in Dark which Pixelmon always avoided, we'll end up stuck on Dark with no way of going back to Pixelmon without completely starting over. I may change my mind if they manage to pull it together and focus on quality instead of getting as much stuff out as possible, but for now I'm one of the people that voted no.
I am completely in favor of the update. There are so many new Pokemon being added. (200+) and there aren't any bugs that matter. Sure there are a few model bugs here and there, but those are easily fixed, and to be honest, they can even be fixed with a texture pack. So when people say that it is "filled with bugs" that is false. At least you can't say that Pixelmon Dark has game breaking bugs that happen every day, which Pixelmon Mod already does. In Pixelmon Mod, almost every day there is someone who has a Pokemon duplicated/deleted. At last Pixelmon Dark doesn't have bugs like that. The only "bad" bugs that they had were when the statues of Dedenne, Giratina, and Hawlucha would crash the server, but that was fixed. People are also mistaking un-released features for bugs. There is a difference between bugs and unreleased features. For example, the Tapus' abilities are not added. People keep calling that a "bug," but it's not a bug. It just says "Coming Soon!" People also say, well, the update is "incomplete" because not all of the abilities, moves, etc. are added, but you have to remember, pixelmon mod did the same thing for years. I remember when tons of Pokemon did not have abilities and they said "Coming Soon!" And that lasted for a long time. It took Pixelmon Mod a long time to add some of the abilities, so you have to let Pixelmon Dark take their time to add the new abilities. I will admit, there are some actual bugs in this mod, but there are also bugs in Pixelmon which I have already mentioned many times. Another thing that I have seen people say is that Pixelmon Dark is going to get shut down just like pixelmon because they are using gen 7 and stuff. Well, to be honest, either way they have a risk of being shut down. If they do get shut down, who cares if we are "stuck" on Pixelmon Dark. It adds 200+ new Pokemon! That's enough to last for a long time. The next thing that many people say is that they are not focused on quality, and only quantity. That isn't really true. Sure, they make these updates that add tons of new Pokemon, but after that, they go back and make bug fix updates. So, they are both adding a bunch of new Pokemon, and at the same time fixing the bugs to make the mod better quality. Over time, if we don't update to the server, people will move on to other servers that are using Pixelmon Dark or other fan made pixelmon updates. So, in my opinion, there isn't really a reason not to update to Pixelmon Dark. We can't stay on Pixelmon Mod 5. what ever for ever or the server will die!
Im against this "Pixelmon Dark Beta" update. Yes all the newer Pokemon are going to be good for the longevity of ths server and people may be more enticed into playing the server once more to catch all the Pokemon and to train them up for competitive means but as Lumirecia has stated above "Pixelmon dark developers are focusing too much on adding new content. This causes bugs to pile up." This will only lead to issues for the server to be run off of a "Beta" which could of catastrophic consequences if it gets bad enough to the point where it crashes the server, Yes you can always roll back the server to a previous state with some backup but by then, people would of lost hours and maybe days of work on the server. In the future when it comes out of it's "Beta" phase and "If" it works well enough to support the server and everyone playing on it, Then by all means update for the community.
TLDR; Issues could cause mass rollbacks, losing hours (Maybe days depending on how long it takes to crash),Wait for Pixelmon Dark "Beta" phase to finish and test it out a bit more just to be safe then update when staff feels the need to update
We are not making any decisions on updating any time soon anyways, we merely want to know people's opinions and we may end up having multiple beta servers to look into the different versions of the mod that are coming out. So you may expect a Pixelmon Reborn server as well.
Im in favor of updating.... eventually
hear me out, they will eventually switch to bug fixes, skills, ect..... when they start doing that I say update....
I think they are pumping all this stuff out quickly because they aren't under Nintendo's DMCA, and want to get as much done as possible before Nintendo wakes up, I mean lets be honest Nintendo is a heavy sleeper, it takes loads to wake it up, but when Nintendo does wake up, its super cranky and wants to bite it's fans heads off..... so if they add all that content at the same time, its easier to bug fix 50 things at once (as it might take an edit to 1 piece of the code for most of it) than it would to update it slowly and have to edit the code every time they add 1 thing, so like say they add 4 pokemon, 1 is glitchy, they fix it.... then they add 4 more and 1 is glitchy, they fix it again...... its faster to just add 200 and bug scrub from there (for what I understand with my limited programing knowlage)
I think its a decision that cannot be made lightly, im in favour of updating, of course who wouldnt its exciting and new stuff brings new players, but best to see which direction the Dark Mods are going first and biding our time, rushing will be a mistake although tempting :-)
Team Work Makes The Dream Work #LetsDance #TeamSkull
Lol even though I haven't been on the server for like three years, I don't think you guys should update the server if the developers are focused on quantity and not quality. Though I might see why you would be considering due to some of the servers income (this might have changed idk) are from donations and people buying Pokemon, so I would understand why you would if you didn't want your server to become obsolete and forgotten about. Even though I have a feeling that most people would ignore the bugs and continue playing or in a worse case scenario they would blame the owner or the server creators (mostly because of small amount of people are ignorant of the situation). I'd say let it play out a bit before making any big decisions and see what happens, if you notice a drop in players because of not updating I think you'd be better off updating sadly.
Personally I'm between the decision, on one hand the mod brings a lot of pokemon to the game, on the other, it's a mod that has stollen from the original Pixelmon mod and just expanded. While i agree updating the server to this mod would be a big payoff in terms of players, it would also hurt crediability with the pixelmon developers too
The server is already updated ;)

Fairfield-based business wins one of four state licenses to grow medical marijuana
With more patients getting certified for medical marijuana use every day and the numbers expected to climb, the state on Tuesday awarded four licenses for marijuana-growing facilities, instead of the three it had planned.
One of the licenses went to David Lipton, whose Fairfield-based business will grow the marijuana at a site in West Haven. Of the 16 applications filed from across the state, also chosen were sites in Portland, Simsbury and Watertown.
A crowd of state officials, pot producers and news media gathered in a cavernous former manufacturing plant in West Haven, which soon will be filled with growing cannabis, to announce the four companies chosen.
"The applications were voluminous, each containing 700 to more than 1,000 pages and provided detailed information about the applicants' financial stability, their relevant experience, their location and site plan, their production, safety, business and marketing protocols," said Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein, who is overseeing the process of legalizing the marijuana business in the state.
Each application was scored on nine categories. Two companies, Advanced Grow Labs, based in Fairfield and owned by Westport resident Lipton, and Greenwich-based Curaleaf, tied for third place, with 2,230 points. Both were granted licenses.
Curaleaf, run by Robert Birnbaum, 60, of Greenwich, will occupy a former industrial building in Simsbury.
"There's work to be done," said Birnbaum, a financial expert who is also president of the Greenwich Reform Synagogue. "But we have invested a lot in getting the building ready. The idea is, what the state is requiring of us, is that we get in production within six months of getting the license. We would like to get in production within four months."
Birnbaum said over time, he anticipates more medical cannabis patients will choose forms besides smoking to ingest the active ingredients, including edibles and vapors, to relieve the symptoms of cancer, post-traumatic stress and other ailments.
More InformationGROWTH INDUSTRY: MED POT SUPPLIERS
Four of 16 companies won state marijuana growing licenses based on their application scores.
1. Watertown: Theraplant, Ethan Ruby, CEO; Score 2,400
2. Portland : CT Pharmaceutical Solutions, Thomas J. Schultz, president; Score 2,265.
3. Simsbury: Curaleaf. Robert Birnbaum, of Greenwich, CEO; Score 2,230
4. West Haven: Advanced Grow Labs of Fairfield. David Lipton of Westport, managing partner; Score 2,230
Also rans:
9. Greenbelt Management, of Fairfield. Jason Nickerson member; Score 2,130
11. C-Three of Orange. Thomas Macre, principal; Score 2,075
15. Palmieri Farm Farm of Bridgeport. Joseph Palmieri, Jr. principal; Score 1,700
Lipton's Advanced Grow Labs will move into the vacant former manufacturing building at 400 Frontage Road in West Haven, where Gov. Dannel P. Malloy joined Rubenstein to announce the first state-sanctioned marijuana crops will be ready by the summer.
"Some people might say what's taking so long?" Malloy said of implementation of the law, which was passed in 2012. "I wanted to make sure we had specific safeguards, so that we don't go down the same path some other states have, which would essentially legalize marijuana for anyone who can find the right doctor for the right prescription."
The proposal by Theraplant, whose CEO is Ethan Ruby, to convert a former Watertown industrial building into a large-scale marijuana-cultivation operation came in first place.
"It's a humongous responsibility and we feel very privileged to be trusted with this by the state of Connecticut," said Ruby, 38, who has been wheelchair-bound "in constant pain" following an auto crash and spinal cord injury 12 years ago. "I think we can show that this industry, done responsibly can help a lot of people. I would love to bring the relief I have found in this palliative medicine to other people."
Second place was awarded to CT Pharmaceutical Solutions, of East Hampton, whose president, Thomas Schultz, intends to expand his experience running the largest distributor of witch hazel in the world to leading a grow facility in Portland on the eastern side of the state.
With 23,000 feet of chilly, empty space behind them and the principals of the four winning proposals standing by, Rubenstein and Malloy said Connecticut's medical cannabis program will set the national standard for security and medical efficacy.
Marijuana will be treated like other prescription drugs in the state, with tight security in its growth and distribution, and patients who are thoroughly screened by their doctors, Malloy said.
At the time proposals were solicited last year, about 900 patients had signed up. Now there are almost 1,700.
"We see the patient need and demand starting to accelerate," Rubenstein said. "We thought that four was really the best number at this point to make sure we have a reliable and steady stream of supply to meet demand."
The growing facilities, which are subject to anti-trust rules barring collusion on prices, will eventually spar for business supplying the five planned dispensaries in the state that will be run by licensed pharmacists.
The announcements culminated a 11/2-year process of creating regulations and reviewing proposals. Patients with ailments including cancer, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, Crohn's disease and epilepsy are eligible, if recommended by their doctors. Additional conditions could be added to the list over time.
"These patients deserve compassion, not arrest," Malloy said. "They deserve understanding and relief, not fines and a criminal record. And they deserve a treatment that is safe."
The governor said Connecticut's medical use of marijuana should not start a debate on legalizing the drug for recreational use among adults, as approved in Colorado and Washington.
It will be about two months before the state rules on the 21 proposals for dispensary licenses.
While the four growers are positioned in the state's four corners, it will be more important to spread dispensary locations evenly to serve patients and their caregivers who will be allowed to purchase marijuana.
Patients have been allowed to possess marijuana since October 2012, but the sale is illegal until the producers get their first crops to market.
Finishing 15th among the 16 proposals was Palmieri Farms of Bridgeport, whose owner, Joseph Palmieri Jr., said he was saddened but not discouraged.
"It is a disappointment but it gives me the fuel in the engine to go forward and be on top next time," Palmieri said, stressing that if the program is expanded, he will again seek a license.

Primary tabs
Laryngectomy is surgery to remove all or part of the larynx (voice box).
Alternative Names
Complete laryngectomy; Partial laryngectomy
Laryngectomy is major surgery that is done in the hospital. Before surgery you will receive general anesthesia. You will be asleep and pain-free.
Total laryngectomy removes the whole larynx. Part of your pharynx may be taken out as well. Your pharynx is the mucous membrane-lined passage between your nasal passages and esophagus.
- The surgeon will make a cut in your neck to open up the area. Care is taken to preserve major blood vessels and other important structures.
- The larynx and tissue around it will be removed. The lymph nodes may also be removed.
- The surgeon will then make an opening in your trachea and a hole in front of your neck. Your trachea will be attached to this hole. The hole is called a stoma. After surgery you will breathe through your stoma. It will never be removed.
- Your esophagus, muscles, and skin will be closed with stitches or clips. You may have tubes coming from your wound for a while after surgery.
The surgeon may also do a tracheoesophaheal puncture (TEP).
- A TEP is a small hole in your windpipe (trachea) and the tube that moves food from your throat to your stomach (esophagus).
- Your surgeon will place a small man-made part (prosthesis) into this opening. The prosthesis will allow you to speak after your voice box has been removed.
There are many less invasive surgeries to remove part of the larynx.
- The names of some of these procedures are endoscopic (or transoral resection), vertical partial laryngectomy, horizontal or supraglottic partial laryngectomy, and supracricoid partial laryngectomy.
- These procedures may work for some people. The surgery you have depends on how much your cancer has spread and what type of cancer you have.
The surgery can take 5 to 9 hours.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Most often, laryngectomy is done to treat cancer of the larynx. It is also done to treat:
- Severe trauma, such as a gunshot wound or other injury.
- Severe damage to the larynx from radiation treatment. This is called radiation necrosis.
Risks for any surgery are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
- Heart problems
- Bleeding
- Infection
Risks for this surgery are:
- Hematoma (a buildup of blood outside the blood vessels)
- Wound infection
- Fistulas (tissue connections that form between the pharynx and the skin that are not normally there)
- The stoma opening may become too small or tight. This is called stomal stenosis.
- Leaking around the tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) and prosthesis
- Damage to other areas of the esophagus or trachea
- Problems swallowing and eating
- Problems speaking
Before the Procedure
You will have medical visits and tests before you have surgery. Some of these are:
- A complete physical exam and blood tests. Imaging studies may be performed.
- A visit with a speech therapist and a swallowing therapist to prepare for changes after surgery.
- Nutritional counseling.
- Stop-smoking - counseling. If you are a smoker and have not quit.
Always tell your health care provider:
- If you are or could be pregnant
- What medicines you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription
- If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day
During the days before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot.
- Ask which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
On the day of your surgery:
- You will be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
- Take the drugs your provider told you to take with a small sip of water.
- You will be told when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
You will need to stay in the hospital for several days after surgery.
After the procedure, you will be groggy and will not be able to speak. An oxygen mask will be on your stoma. It's important to keep your head raised, rest a lot, and move your legs from time to time to improve blood flow. Keeping blood moving reduces your risk of getting a blood clot.
You can use warm compresses to reduce pain around your incisions. You will get pain medicine.
You will receive nutrition through an IV (a tube that goes into a vein) and tube feedings. Tube feedings are given through a tube that goes through your nose and into your esophagus (feeding tube).
You may be allowed to swallow food as soon as 2 to 3 days after surgery. However, it is more common to wait 5 to 7 days after your surgery to start eating through your mouth.
Your drain may be removed in 2 to 3 days. You will be taught how to care for your laryngectomy tube and stoma. You will learn how to safely shower. You must be careful not to let water enter through your stoma.
Speech rehabilitation with a speech therapist will help you relearn how to speak.
You will need to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about 6 weeks. You may slowly resume your normal, light activities.
Follow up with your provider as you are told.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Your wounds will take about 2 to 3 weeks to heal. You can expect full recovery in about a month. Many times, removal of the larynx will take out all the cancer or injured material. People learn how to change their lifestyle and live without their voice box. You may need other treatments, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

High blood pressure affects approximately one in three adults in the Americas, Europe, some Asian countries and Australia, and one billion people worldwide. Because of this epidemic, The American Society of Hypertension, Inc. (ASH) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) are pleased to announce the creation of first-of-their-kind guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Hypertension: "Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension in the Community." These are the first guidelines to be usable for medical practitioners in any socioeconomic environment around the globe, from those countries with state-of-the-art equipment to those that lack basic resources. And, most importantly, they are designed with guidance that is easy to implement for doctors and healthcare professionals in even the most impoverished areas.
The guidelines were first published on December 17 by the Journal of Clinical Hypertension in the U.S. and the Journal of Hypertension in Europe. They will also appear in medical journals across Latin America and have been endorsed by the Asian Pacific Society of Hypertension. The guidelines have already been translated to French, Spanish and Creole, and there are plans to continue translations for populations across the globe.
"These guidelines have been written to provide a straightforward approach to managing hypertension in the community. We are so proud to have created a set of guidelines that can help not only doctors but also patients understand their disease and the care they receive," says Dr. Michael A. Weber, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, former ASH President and current ISH Council member.
"Within the International Society of Hypertension we wanted to create Guidelines for management of hypertension for practitioners, which would provide easy to follow recommendations that were evidence-based and could be carried out in countries that have healthcare systems with either limited or with abundant resources, and above all, that were simple and user-friendly, contributing thus to the control of this highly prevalent condition. Indeed, hypertension is the number one cause of burden of disease worldwide," says Dr. Ernesto L. Schiffrin, President of ISH.
Hypertension is the most common chronic condition dealt with by primary care physicians and other healthcare practitioners. There is also a close relationship between blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular events, strokes and kidney disease.
"With the development and dissemination of treatment guidelines that are designed to educate medical practitioners, doctors in training and other health care providers, ASH is furthering its commitment to our mission through initiatives that aim to improve the clinical management of hypertension and its complications," says Dr. William B. White, professor of medicine and current President of ASH.
The guidelines' 25 authors include top hypertension specialists and pharmacists from around the world, including past and present officers of the American Society of Hypertension and the International Society of Hypertension.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Stress has long-term effects on the genome and may cause early aging, according to new Penn State faculty member Idan Shalev's research. He investigates the aging process and how stress erodes telomeres, a part of chromosomes that protects them from deterioration.
Shalev joined the University's Department of Biobehavioral Health in January as part of the cluster hire in child maltreatment being conducted by Penn State's Network on Child Protection and Well-Being .
Victims of child abuse often experience trauma. That stress can boost the aging process or cause diseases usually found in older persons to emerge at earlier ages. Shalev hopes his research will identify the mechanisms linking early stress and aging that can be translated into effective prevention and treatment methods.
"Once the telomeres get to a critically short length, the cells start to die," he said. "Like the plastic caps at the end of shoe laces, they protect the chromosomes from unraveling. But once chromosomes start to unravel, biological aging begins."
Shalev, along with Jennie Noll, professor of human development and family studies; Chad Shenk, assistant professor of human development; and Lori Frasier, director of the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital Division of Child Abuse Pediatrics, were the first four of at least 12 hires to join the network since fall 2013. Two additional faculty members: Brian Allen and Kent Hymel; will join the College of Medicine later this semester.
This group of faculty members is strengthening the University's research, education and engagement efforts in the area of child maltreatment. The Network was launched in response to a recommendation from the Presidential Task Force on Child Maltreatment in the fall of 2012.
"Idan's study of maltreatment is at the molecular level," said Doug Teti, professor of human development, psychology and pediatrics and chair of the Network's cluster hire search committee. "It's a new perspective, and he is a strong addition to the expertise that is and will be here at the University."
"Unfortunately, maltreatment is growing in prevalence all over the world. We know its long-lasting effects on health. The research we are doing is very important."
-- Idan Shalev, assistant professor of biobehavioral health
Penn State has a long history of conducting innovative research in child and family health and development. The network is building cross-disciplinary and University-community collaborations to translate research into effective and sustainable, real-world practice.
"Bringing together people from all disciplines and perspectives is a great step," Shalev said. "This is a significant undertaking at Penn State, channeling these efforts to address this important issue of maltreatment. Unfortunately, maltreatment is growing in prevalence all over the world. We know its long-lasting effects on health. The research we are doing is very important."
Telomere science is relatively new. For Shalev, the connection between the fields of psychology, wherein stress has a long history of study and biology, which has had a major emphasis on physical health, opens to the door to a wide range of novel research possibilities. His interest in the area began during his time as an army medic.
Shalev is from Israel, where military service is mandatory. Observing the kind of stress soldiers endure inspired Shalev to study its effects on human health. During his doctoral education, Shalev started focusing on individual differences in response to a stressful task in the lab. During his postdoctoral training, he developed interest in early life development and learned how the stress of sexual or physical abuse on children can be detrimental to their development, and focused his research to that area.
"The first 15-20 years of life is a very important time in the maintenance of telomeres," Shalev said. "Finding specific mechanisms that can be targeted for intervention is a prime goal for me."
Shalev came to Penn State from Duke University where he was a postdoctoral associate. He received his doctorate in neurobiology from Hebrew University.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is en route to his fifth snooker world championship title, but his win over Judd Trump in the semifinal was a real stinker.
A spectator at Friday's match at The Crucible in Sheffield suffered from severe flatulence, interrupting Trump and causing quite a row in the facility playing host to the sport's premier tournament. Lest you think snooker a niche sport, the World Championship carries a purse of over a million pounds (and is broadcast on BBC2). As if Trump hadn't enough to deal with patrons farting while he lined up shots, his opponent was busy making "improper" gestures toward him. (Trump did, eventually, succeed in making his shot, though obviously to no avail.)[BBC2]

| Idris, Fashion City UK
I was given the knowledge required to setup my shopping campaign. After implementation of his advice I have had a few sales. After support was excellent and would definitely recommend using Prabhat for adwords.
| Emma-Cath Charles, Inngot
I found his presentation to be informative and helpful. Not only was Prabhat able to provide a wonderful insight into adwords, but he also assisted me with a specific issue that I was having with Adwords at the time, which was somewhat more complicated than standard technical issues. Upon leaving the workshop, I felt suitably armed with excellent actionable insights that I could bring to meetings and create further action plans for the company.
| Andrea Omar, Medi UK (Lifestyle) Ltd
At the start of the training session I had little knowledge or understanding of the PPC project that my company has embarked upon with Google Ads. With Prabhat's clear explanation and overview (tailored to my knowledge level) he adeptly walked me through the tools and mechanics of a PPC ad campaign. Although there is so much more to get to grips with in the coming weeks and months, Prabhat shared insights and knowledge to put me on the right road for this project, along with some great suggestions for continuous learning. I felt I could ask even the most basic of questions at any time.

I've realized I don't even need cookbooks anymore and I rarely use them - why? Cuz there are so many bloggers out there that have AWESOME recipes! I'm sure they use the cookbooks and then just share with me!
As I'm browsing Pinterest - I typically will find a recipe and then email it to myself. I have a folder in my email called "Recipes" and I save them all there. Then when I'm gonna cook something - I just go to the magic folder and presto! Recently I found this Cream Cheese Spaghetti Bake recipe and decided to try it out!
I started by browning some ground beef...
Stir the cream cheese, a little garlic & Italian seasoning into cooked spaghetti...
Lay that in the bottom of a greased baking dish...then stir the sauce into the ground beef...
I also picked up some of these dinner rolls on sale for like 50 cents after sale/coupons! Larry loves rolls and these are SO simple!
The best thing about this recipe is that you probably already have these ingredients on hand - so it's nice to take something like "spaghetti" and jazz it up just a bit for a quick and easy dinner!
Thanks to Plain Chicken for the recipe:
Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole
adapted from Food.com and salad-in-a-jar.com
(Printable Recipe)
12 oz spaghetti
1 (28 ounce) jars prepared spaghetti sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef until cooked through; drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce. Set aside.
Cook spaghetti according to directions on packet. Drain and place cooked spaghetti in bowl. Add cream cheese, Italian Seasoning and minced garlic. Stir until cream cheese is melted and the spaghetti is thoroughly coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. Spread a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the dish. Put spaghetti on top of sauce and top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- "Yo Soy #Nicaragüense … How do University Students in Central America Perceive Their Indigenous Culture?" a presentation by Nicole Webster, will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Oct. 23, in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. The event is free and open to the public, and can also be viewed online.
Webster is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology and Education. This past spring, she was awarded a Fulbright grant to investigate how young people engage in formal and informal contexts, and how these experiences influence their understanding and use of social capital.
In her presentation, Webster will share personal anecdotes and reflections on the intersection of culture and student engagement in the Central American country of Nicaragua. She will discuss how and why indigenous knowledge is being lost among young people, and reflect on the perceived value of indigenous knowledge as youth in Nicaragua adopt technology and employ social media in increasing numbers.
The presentation is part of an ongoing series highlighting the importance of indigenous knowledge and is sponsored by the Interinstitutional Consortium for Indigenous Knowledge (ICIK) and the Penn State Social Sciences Library. For more information on ICIK, go to icik.psu.edu.

While perusing the world of recycled and upcycled denim and repurposed jeans, I noticed that there were some really dated recycled jean skirt projects floating around out there on the internet! People have been recycling denim for ages, cutting off jean legs to make shorts, making skirts, pot holders and the like, but it takes ingenuity and a sense of modern style to create something fresh and new. Check out the projects and items below, which I think offer a refreshing relief from the same old recycled denim crafts!

The Rhön hills are located in the heart of Germany and offer a wealth of beautiful scenery as well as the chance to go gliding, do water sports and indulge in a spot of star gazing.
Known as the 'land of endless horizons', the Rhön hills are situated at the tripoint of Bavaria, Hessen and Thuringia. Here, walkers and cyclists are forever discovering new and breathtaking trails that take them past orchards, meadows and fields of happily grazing Rhön sheep.
A paradise for walkers and nature lovers
Many people enthuse about walks on the Hochrhöner Trail, which was voted Germany's most beautiful walking route in 2010. The marked trails on the Green Belt route and on Mount Gangolfsberg and Mount Milseburg are also popular and take you right to the heart of the ancient woodland.
Gliding across the water or high up in the skies
The landscape here lends itself to all kinds of outdoor pursuits. Mount Wasserkuppe – the highest mountain in Hessen and the birthplace of gliding – is a popular launch site for gliding enthusiasts from all over the world, while the rushing waters of the pristine rivers are ideal for kayaking fans.
Reminders of the time of the Iron Curtain
One of the Cold War's 'hottest' spots can be found in the biosphere reserve. The Point Alpha Memorial Site serves as a reminder of the time when the Iron Curtain divided Europe.
Under starry skies
The Rhön hills are a stellar destination for anyone with an interest in astronomy. This area has been designated an international star park because it offers such clear and uninterrupted views of the starry sky. What better opportunity to see what's written in the stars.

American, US Airways name post-merger leadership
The new American Airlines will have more top executives from smaller US Airways than from the current American.
Five US Airways executives will join the eight-member executive team, including President Scott Kirby. Three executives from American parent AMR Corp. were named to the team. AMR and US Airways Group Inc. hope to complete their proposed merger this summer.
The new team joins US Airways CEO Doug Parker, who will hold the same title after the merger. AMR CEO Tom Horton will serve briefly as chairman before exiting next year.
Parker is keeping the core of his inner circle intact. Besides Kirby, who keeps the title of president, the leadership team includes other executives who have worked alongside Parker for several years.
Although AMR creditors and shareholders will own 72 percent of the new company, and it will still be based in Fort Worth, Texas, the makeup of the executive team underscores that it was Parker who drove the merger and convinced AMR's unions and bankruptcy creditors to support him.
AMR and American filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011. For many months, Horton considered the idea of emerging from Chapter 11 as a stand-alone company, not a merger partner, but creditors decided otherwise.
The airlines also announced the 12 directors of the new company, to be called American Airlines Group Inc. They include Parker and Horton. Kraft Foods Group Inc. Chairman John T. Cahill will be the lead outside director.
The senior executives joining from US Airways are Kirby as president, Derek Kerr as chief financial officer, Robert Isom as chief operating officer, and Elise Eberwein and Stephen Johnson as executive vice presidents.
From AMR's ranks, Parker and Horton picked Beverly Goulet as chief integration officer, Maya Leibman as chief information officer, and William Ris as senior vice president of government affairs.
Another AMR veteran, Daniel Garton, will step down as CEO of American's regional-flying affiliate American Eagle later this year, the companies said. No immediate successor was named.
Several top AMR executives were passed over, including chief commercial officer Virasb Vahidi, CFO Bella Goren and senior vice president for people Denise Lynn.
"Mergers unfortunately result in departures, and there are some on both teams," Parker wrote in a note Monday to employees of both companies. He credited the departing AMR officials for helping carry out what he called the most successful airline restructuring.
American's unions have long fought with their company's management over pay and other issues, and they were eager to see a shake-up. The Allied Pilots Association praised the future leadership team.
"This shows that a culture change is happening at American," Dennis Tajer, a pilots' union spokesman, said in an interview. "This can only increase employees' enthusiasm and have a positive effect on customer service."

The Chicago Blackhawks agreed to terms on a one-year contract with St. Cloud State's Drew LeBlanc on Friday, the same day the forward won the Hobey Baker Award given to the nation's top college hockey player.
LeBlanc had 13 goals and 37 assists in 42 games this season with St. Cloud State, helping lead the Huskies to their first Frozen Four appearance.
He is the first player from St. Cloud State to win the Hobey Baker.
LeBlanc, a fifth-year senior center, was seventh in the nation with 50 points. He was a two-year captain for the Huskies, who lost 4-1 to Quinnipiac on Thursday in the national semifinals.
The native of Hermantown, Minn., was named first team all-conference in the WCHA this season.
