When I saw the challenge at Scrapfit to scrap a picture from your childhood I remembered this picture I came across when I was cleaning the laundry room earlier this month and knew I had to scrap it. This picture was taken at Sears (which is where my mom always had our pictures taken) I was 3 here and when I see it I think of my girls (who both showed a STRONG resemblence to me at this age) and it makes me smile. and remember when... live was simple and there were no worries.

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, GA -- Since the new fitness program began in 2004, Air Force Reserve Command's (AFRC) performance has stumbled, according to statistics recently released from the Air Force.
In 2003, 76 percent of unit reservists took the fitness test. Most of them -- 98.9 percent -- passed their assessments. Now, two years later, 68 percent of the reservists tested, but, this time, 7 percent of them finished with a marginal score and 12 percent of them performed poorly. AFRC's failure rate in this category was six times higher than the rate for active-duty Airmen, the Air Force report said.
In 2005, individual mobilization augmentees (IMA) performed slightly better than unit reservists. Four percent of the IMAs were marginal. Six percent were classified as poor. Today, their performances are part of the AFRC statistics since they are under the administrative control of the Readiness Management Group.
If a person failed the 3-mile walk assessment under the previous fitness program, he or she simply took it again a few months later and generally passed. However, with more stringent force wide fitness standards in place, AFRC officials recognized that this approach to fitness testing wasn't good enough anymore. They needed a comprehensive education and intervention program to help reservists improve their overall fitness scores.
Col. (Dr.) Jim Collier, an AFRC surgeon, directed a working group to develop an intervention program for reservists who scored marginally or poorly on their fitness assessments. The group, consisting of experts from Reserve units nationwide, met in December to tackle development of an intervention tool for people needing information, encouragement and a plan to improve.
The result of their meeting is an intervention program titled Healthy Living Program for Reservists. In addition, the group developed a brochure to give to reservists. It highlights the fitness program requirements and provides helpful Web resources.
"Fitness is so much more than passing a fitness test once a year. It's about embracing a culture of fitness that can enhance all aspects of life," the report stated.
Totally Web-based, the new Healthy Living Program for Reservists will be posted on the Air Force portal under the Air Force Fitness Management System. It is divided into three instruction modules, each focusing on a specific topic.
The fitness module takes a comprehensive look at the frequency, intensity, length and types of exercises required to develop strength, endurance and flexibility. It also discusses ways to avoid injury and provides warning signs to look out for.
The second module on nutrition discusses the basics of a healthy diet and gives helpful hints for portion control and eating out.
The behavior modification module takes a different approach. It uses the "Top Ten Reasons for Not Exercising" to teach participants how to make proper choices while keeping them entertained. This module encourages participants to change their behavior and take control of their lives. It alos shows them how to get started.
Health and wellness centers on active-duty bases offer a wealth of assistance, the Air Force report said. These centers provide one-stop shopping to help Airmen achieve a high level of wellness. Among other things, they provide smoking cessation, weight management, fitness, nutrition, and health education and intervention programs. And most centers perform fitness testing and offer exercise and nutrition prescriptions for those who need professional oversight.
Unfortunately, health and wellness centers are only located on active-duty bases and may not be available to reservists on weekends or after hours.
One of Colonel Collier's goals for the future is to establish a centralized virtual health and wellness center with a full-time staff available to provide reservists, via the Web, personalized exercise and nutrition prescriptions. Although still in the formative stages, Colonel Collier's vision is for the virtual health and wellness center to serve as a resource for reservists who need help but don't have access to health and wellness or fitness centers where they live. If approved, the colonel hopes this resource will be up and running by 2008.
The hardest part of exercise for some people is just getting started. The statistics clearly show that many reservists have yet to incorporate fitness as in integral part of their lifestyle.
Retired Gen. John P. Jumper, former Air Force chief of staff, said in his July 2003 Chief's Sight Picture that "the amount of energy we devote to our fitness programs is not consistent with the growing demands of our warrior culture. It's time to change that."

At 51, Staffan said, he was an overweight smoker, but he changed his life after becoming part of the Air Force civilian fitness program. He quit smoking and attended a health class at the health and wellness center. Since February 2005, he's lost 47 pounds and five inches off his waist. U.S. Air Force photo by Spencer P. Lane.)

HOME: A Safe Harbor
Women Living Well is starting a Fall Challenge called Making Your Home A Haven… I am excited about this. Who wouldn't want their home to be a haven? Definition of Haven: A harbor or anchorage, a port A place sought for rest, refuge, shelter, protection. I though about my home as a port, a harbor for the ships ( my family ) to sail to and from in their daily journeys. How wonderful it would be if they looked forward to coming home because it felt safe, comforting, nourishing, and they knew it would be a place where their souls could find renewal. Look!
Here comes my teenager home from a long, frustrating day at school. She is the first to arrive home, and she feels like life has taken pot shots at her all day. She had a pop quiz in one of her classes that she didn't feel prepared for. One of her teachers was upset because someone poured glue on the floor of his classroom and he punished the whole class since no one would confess to the crime. She also had to sit 3 to a seat on the crowded, sweat permeated, hot bus ride home. She is glad no one is home so she can have some time to herself to just unwind from her stressful day…as she rests, time slips away….
Next to arrive is my husband. He hasn't had any unpleasant occurrences during his work day, but he has been very busy and he is weary from the circumstances of his work day. He is also hurting from an old injury in his ankle, and the pain causes him to limp from the garage into the door. He just wants a cool glass of tea and to prop up his feet a few minutes before he tackles some grass cutting. He walks in the door and gets upset because his daughter, the teenager noted above has forgotten to pay attention to the time and has not made tea which is one of her daily duties. Of course, without even thinking about how her day may have gone, he immediately bombards her with demands and criticisms because he is denied his cool drink of tea. A negative tone in the household is set…
Now I am coming home after working a long day at the hospital. I too am weary from dealing with patients, their families, meetings, and from doing hours of documentation. I am looking forward to just being home, but I don't know the tension that awaits me in those who have already arrived. Thinking about the myriad of things that I need to do when I get home….supper, check the mail, check emails, help my youngest with homework, etc….I am likely to walk through the door in get er done mode….which won't help.
But before I get home, I have to pick up one more weary vessel… My youngest is at daycare….a noisy, busy place and her energy is overflowing….She has had an adventurous day and she wants to tell me all about it. She is non-stop chatter and excitement all the way home. She wants to know if she can watch TV, ride her bike, will I play a game with her, will I read a story, etc. She also has homework to do ….and, oh yeah, mom, I forgot to tell you I got in trouble at school for talking in class, and I have a note about it you need to sign…Whew! 5 minutes home starts to feel like an hour.
This is a glimpse into a typical day in the oceans that my family sails. How much each vessel needs a safe place to dock…How much each vessel needs the understanding of the others, and a conscious effort to make the home a haven. I am excited to try the Women Living Well Challenge…and I encourage you to do the same. A Christian home SHOULD BE A HAVEN….but only with Christ is this possible, our ultimate haven and refuge from the storms.
I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Psalm 61:3-5

Thailand Conservation Reforestation Project Moves to Higher Grounds!
Our Thailand Conservation Director, Ingrid Sprake, met recently with the founders of the Association of the Protection of the Environment (APE) and finalized details of an exciting new partnership.
Projects Abroad and APE will begin working together next month. APE is a not for profit organization founded in 2010 by Thai and British environmentalists with backgrounds in biology, forestry, teaching and design. It was formed as a reaction to the hectares of palm oil and rubber tree plantations standing where bio-diverse primary forest once was and the resulting effect on the wildlife and their habitat.
Both APE and Projects Abroad are working towards the same goals of preserving and restoring the forests and wildlife in the Krabi District by empowering the local community through environmental education. Thus encouraging a deeper understanding of solving local environmental challenges and increasing awareness of the true value of existing forests.
This project also brings together a closer link between the Projects Abroad Conservation and Teaching Projects as we will all begin working together to develop a long term environmental education program to introduce into the local schools.
We all understand that education is the key and we plan to educate through presentations, games and hands on activities. One long term project will involve building tree nurseries within participating school grounds. We will take the children into the field to collect native tree seeds, which they will then plant in their school nursery. The children will be responsible for tending to the seeds so that they grow into healthy saplings, which they will then plant in the deforested areas, thus planting the new generation of forest, which they and future generations will enjoy and benefit from.
We have chosen an auspicious day to begin our joint project work with APE, namely the 5th December, the King's Birthday, when we will work with the Khlong Thom community and school children to plant the first trees. All the Projects Abroad staff and volunteers are looking forward to this exciting new partnership.

I'm not sure that I can post this in "Space/Astronomy Questions and Answers section" so I post here
The final fomula that I propose is :
It's base on the classical notion of the force and the density of cosmological constant :
for the force notion
for the density of cosmological constant
where the Planck force is : .
if and where is for Planck value we have exactly with the notion of classical force :
as the Planck force appears in the density of the cosmological constant I think we can assume that, in the relativity, it's assimilable to a Force of the cosmological constant witch must be egal to
now, we can try to duplicate the Planck's values for the force of the cosmological constant with the notion of classical force :
the more easy is to use instead of (it's constant and have the same dimension)
now we need a mass of matter :
in the Planck force we had
so, in cosmology we need two constant mass and egal (it must be mass of dark matter/2 or (dark matter + baryonic mattter)/2 or baryonic matter/2)
after computational tests the only approximate correct value is (we need to divide by two otherwise we have 2 mass of universe. they must be egals to duplicate the formula of the Planck force)
and add the factor is needed to be ok to within 0.6% with the Planck force value :
with datas of abstract data Planck 2018
if what is above is correct we can write :
and finaly :
I'm interested by your opinion and questions
Thank's in advance

We thought that many of you battling through the business school application process might benefit from some thoughts and insights from others who went through the experience. To that end, we started On the Record: Q&A with BC Alums. Last time around we spoke with Lauren Sickles, and before that we got insights from Gabe Perez, Rhomaro Powell and Radina Russell. This time, we've asked Denitresse Burns to provide her take on some interesting business school questions.
Denitresse is a 2009 graduate of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Currently, she's a part of John Deere's Strategic Management Program (a leadership rotational program). Her rotations have included:
1. Economics: As a Project Manager, she supported the Chief Economist, looking at global economic and policy trends to understand their impact to their business and customers.
2. Social Media: As John Deere's first Social Media Manager, she launched the social media program at John Deere from the ground up, growing the base to over 500k and designing and implementing the internal processes to support the channels.
3. Strategic Planning: As Strategic Ambition Coordinator, she manages the strategic planning efforts for one of the largest global platforms in John Deere's agricultural division.
Why did you go to business school?
I decided to go to business school for a number of reasons. Some rational… some, well, not so much. In undergrad, when I finally declared a major in International Finance, I knew I would also pursue my MBA (someday). In my mind, the two simply went hand in hand. When a mentor left my firm to attend Stern, I was reminded of item #8 on my "Deni Do List." Three years later I found myself doing well in my career but completely uninterested and as a result, uninspired. At that point, I knew I was ready for a complete career change and that a MBA would give me the latitude to make that transition.
How has business school impacted your career?
Without business school I would not have even been considered for my current role. More importantly, I wouldn't have been aware that positions like mine existed. Business school not only opened doors that were once closed, it also created doors, windows, and holes in fences, seemingly out of the thin air. In addition to the academics, the "social" education I received in business school was transformational. Yes, knowing how to effectively model business decisions and having frameworks to add structure to problem solving efforts have been helpful. However, understanding how to work on global teams, manage up, down and across, and navigate touchy corporate politics have proven to be invaluable.
What do you want business school applicants to know?
Business school is not just about switching careers or accelerating career progression. This will likely be your LAST opportunity to take two years to learn about yourself, explore new things and take risks in a fairly "safe" environment. Use this time wisely. While academics are definitely important, remember that post-MBA, the "hard skills" in the curriculum will effectively expire within 2-5 years. The soft skills, your network and your ability to deliver value, are the things that will sustain your career, and personal life, for the long term.
How many schools did you apply to and get accepted to?
I applied to 5 schools, was accepted to 5 schools, and received fellowships/scholarships from 2.
What specific advice would you give those prepping for the GMAT now?
My advice to those prepping for the GMAT: PUT IN THE WORK!!!!! Consider the GMAT your first test in dedication and time management. Things only get more hectic once you actually start business school. Be deliberate in your studies. Don't just do what others are doing, take the time to understand what works and what doesn't work for you. Based on that assessment, you can decide if you want to try the test on your own, take a class, hire a tutor, etc. Whichever you choose, when you find yourself stuck, seek help EARLY! Don't shortcut the GMAT and don't discount the value of help.
Is there anything about your experience with the GMAT/application process that was unique or surprising
I didn't take the GMAT as seriously as I should have. I'd never had to study before and wasn't really a fan of the preparation that goes into really owning the test. Thankfully, I had a GMAT instructor who was both patient with me and also called me on my mess. The GMAT is both mentally and physically exhausting. We tend to overlook the physical side of the equation, but I advise folks to allocate time to work on the physical in addition to traditional ideas of test prep. Spend time in the gym, doing yoga, meditating, jogging, stretching, etc. All of this preparation will prove valuable 90 minutes in on test day! I promise!

Taking a cue from Lesbian Dad, whose back-to-school post can be found here and Mombian, whose post can be found here. This post is more of a reflection and perhaps a few "instructive" thoughts than these other two, as I don't know that we have tons of expertise around here, but I wanted to take this turning point as a moment to reflect.
Q is starting 4th grade tomorrow, and I've written here already about his sweet, sweet school. A school that embraces difference and many identities. A place he's usually quite happy to be. So, we are so very lucky that this is the place he's going off to tomorrow. That I'm handing him off into the arms (literally and figuratively) of people who know, respect, and love all parts of our whole (queer) family and our boy.
But, Q has been anxious about the start of school this year. Not happy for the transition from lazy summer days to days full of others. Though he loves it, we know, on some level, that school is hard for Q. As a wise person in our lives said recently, "It's hard to be Q out in the world." And that challenge includes school. It's hard to swim upstream when those around you are easily moving downstream. Even if those around you are more than happy for you to swim against the current, it's still different. And takes a whole heck of a lot of work. I've been working to have lots of compassion for this aspect of Q's identity and life. And for the fact that he's still a bit too young to fully understand it, in spite of how wise-beyond-his-years he can be in certain domains.
So tomorrow, he goes off. I'm certain he'll be okay. And that it will be hard. On levels he can identify and on those he can't. So were I to give any advice, provide any guidelines, I'd say to look for those levels of comfort and discomfort that your children have — those that they can name and those they can't. Know that the tears at the end of the day may not be about the fact that your kiddo can't find her book but may in fact be about the emotional let-down necessary after a long day of just being herself.
I know there will be a whole bunch of conversations we'll have again tomorrow and in the days to come. Conversations we have a lot. "Do you want us to talk to anyone about it being okay for you to use the single stall bathrooms?" "Do you need any help talking to the kids in your class who are new to the school?" "Is there anything we can tell your teachers to help you feel more comfortable?" Conversations like that, plus a whole lot of waiting, watching, hoping, and then trusting ourselves that we can be a safe and rejuvenating place to come back to. To recharge, feel at home, and then go back out and tackle the world all over again the next day.
I'm looking towards tomorrow with hope and trust….and a wee bit of anxiety, awaiting how things turn out "on the other side." Hoping that all of your back to schools have been full — of love, acceptance, understanding, and support — really, whatever it is that you need and hope. For you, your families, your kids.
Random Summer Stylin' (plus "cool" attitude)

The Fort Lewis College mens basketball team ended its exhibition schedule on a high note Saturday, edging NAIA Montana Western 56-54 in Salt Lake City.
Alex Herrera paced the Skyhawks offensively. The 6-9 Ignacio High School product scored 14 points and pulled in 13 rebounds to help push FLC to victory, while Mike Matthews added 10 points. Marcus Ayala had seven points and seven boards.
Free throws, a bugaboo for the Skyhawks in recent years, helped FLC as the Bulldogs rallied by burying 3s and intentionally fouling. Despite hitting just 14 of 22 (63.6 percent) in the game, the Skyhawks hit seven of eight down the stretch to keep Montana Western at bay.
Neither team shot the ball particularly well, with FLC hitting at a 32-percent clip to just 30 for the Bulldogs. FLC forced 25 turnovers while losing 20 of its own, but the Skyhawks made their extra possessions count, racking up a 22-11 advantage in points off turnovers.
Thanks in large part to Herrera, FLC also enjoyed a 26-12 advantage in points in the paint.
After going 1-2 in the exhibition season, the Skyhawks finally can turn their attention to the regular season. Theyll open Nov. 15 at home against Northern New Mexico.

E-Book Authors
Wikibooks isn't the only resource on the web to find high-quality free ebooks. There are dozens of other large sites that offer them, and thousands of personal websites where authors offer up a book or two that they've written personally. Many people write books for a variety of reasons. Some people like to share the knowledge they've gathered. Some people like to help others. Some people are tired of answering questions from, and choose to put all the information in one place to answer all the questions at once. Regardless of the motivation, writing a book can be hard work, and maintaining it over time even more so. Donating a book you've written to Wikibooks can be a great move for many reasons:
- If your book is already freely available, Wikibooks and the GFDL license insures that it will always remain free. If your book is not yet free, you should always consider releasing it under a free license so other people can benefit from it.
- Save yourself the bandwidth. Wikibooks servers are free to use and are completely supported by donations to the Wikimedia Foundation.
- Save yourself the trouble. Server configurations hassles? DNS issues? Denial of service attacks? The Wikimedia Foundation employs a number of server technicians and software developers who deal with the technical headaches so you don't have to.
- Wikibooks has hundreds of authors, editors, illustrators, and other contributors who can edit your book and keep it up-to-date. Tired of getting emails from readers with corrections and suggestions? Put it on Wikibooks and let them fix it themselves.
- Wikibooks has print on demand publishing. Put your book on Wikibooks, create a Help:Collection from it, and have a few copies printed up.
- Benefit from the Wikimedia Foundations massive integration. Your book can use material from Wikimedia Commons, import content from Wikipedia, and be used in a classroom through Wikiversity. That's just the start!
There are lots of reasons why existing e-books should be donated to Wikibooks, we hope you agree!
Donating Books
If you've decided to donate a book to Wikibooks, you need to satisfy a few conditions first. There are a number of rules, requirements, and policies that must be followed to help keep Wikibooks a valuable high-quality free resource. If you have a book to donate, and need any help with it, you can always ask at the Reading Room. We also have a comprehensive list of policies on this issue listed at WB:DONATE.
The first step is to make sure your book satisfies Wikibooks inclusion criteria policy. Wikibooks is not a general purpose ebook host and books that do not conform to this policy may be deleted from Wikibooks. In short, here is a list of major requirements for books on Wikibooks:
- The book should be non-fiction, and usually should be academic.
- The book should use a neutral point of view.
- The book should not contain original research on a topic that has not been well-studied.
- The book should be instructional. It should not just be a listing of facts and figures, or a series of unrelated articles.
- Wikibooks is for textbooks, not for dictionaries, news reports, blogs, or other types of media.
- The book should be released under the GFDL.
The GFDL and Copyright Issues
The biggest hurdle to most donations is copyright issues. Wikibooks and all the books on it are licensed under the GFDL. The GFDL is a copy-left license with two major provisions:
- All authors to the book should be properly attributed.
- All edits to the book must be released under the GFDL also. Therefore, all future versions of the book that are derived from the one on Wikibooks will always be released under the GFDL.
If you are an author of a book and you own the copyright to it, you can grant Wikibooks a license to use the book under the GFDL, and you can also grant other licenses to other people for it as well. As the copyright holder, you can grant as many licenses to use the material as you want. However the version at Wikibooks, and all future revisions of that version, will always be available under the GFDL. If the book is on Wikibooks, you can still host a copy on your own website, and you can print and sell the book too. You can also allow other websites to use your book under a different license too, if you want.
It's important to realize that once you grant Wikibooks a license to use your book under the GFDL, you can not take it back. The license is a contract, and you cannot break the contract unless Wikibooks violates the license in some way. Some authors want to put their book onto Wikibooks for a trial period, and then ask to have it taken down again. This cannot happen, once the book is on Wikibooks, it is there to stay. Be certain you want to donate the book to Wikibooks, because it cannot be undone afterwards.
If you are not the sole author of the book, or if you are not the originator or owner of all images in the book, you cannot donate it to Wikibooks without the permission of all copyright holders.
Converting to Wikitext
Wikibooks uses Wikitext for its content, not LaTeX, or HTML, or DOCBOOK, or any other kind of markup or formatting. The biggest technical challenge to uploading a book to Wikibooks is that the book must be converted to Wikitext first, and then uploaded. This can be very difficult to do by hand, but several users have created tools and bots to help make the work easier. Ask for help at WB:TECH.

WalesOnline's Pinterest presence has been steadily growing in the two months since we set it up, with 16 boards now covering everything from music to sport and interior design.
It's a great resource and we've hooked it up to Facebook and Twitter to enable cross-promotion of what we're up to, so as an experiment I'm happy to see it progressing well.
Anyway, digital journalist Gareth Rogers has been using it to great effect for the Bluebirds Banter blog, but today he showed me an ingenious way of displaying photo content well on our site, via Pinterest.
One of the limitations of our current CMS is that it doesn't allow you to really showcase great photos well - as a user, you can't click on an image to enlarge it, for example.
It may seem like a small thing, but when you've got images that the reader would want to see in more detail (or an infographic, for example) it can be somewhat restrictive.
Anyway, Gareth came up with a clever workaround (necessity really is the mother of invention) to show off a series of fashion photos from the Aintree race meet - he pinned the images to our Piinterest news board, and then embedded them back on the site. Now , when you click on the image, it opens, large-scale, in a new tab.
I love Gareth's solution. And I love the fact I work* with clever people who don't let system limitations get in the way of story-telling.

I think it's very nice; take a bow, Mr Rogers.
* On the subject of work, I have a new job - I'm heading to North Wales to edit the Daily Post, starting on Monday.
I've loved my time with WalesOnline and Wales on Sunday - it's been hugely educational and I got to work with some great people - but (despite being a committed worshiper at the Church of Digital) I'm massively excited to be given the chance of editing a daily newspaper, and working with the DP team in print and online.
However, first I have to persuade two cats into travel baskets and brave the A470 to North Wales. Compared to that, editing is a doddle...

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Monthly Update - March 2008
As water levels started to return to their normal levels it was back to business at Taricaya and March was a month filled with new projects, unexpected adventures and plenty of hard work to measure. I shall start this month with the arrival of Hugo Zamora from Arequipa.
Hugo is a biologist who specialises in bats and we met him at the Peruvian Ecology Conference in Arequipa at the end of last year. He agreed to visit us over the coming twelve months and help us compile a comprehensive list of the bats here in the Taricaya Reserve. The work was tough and every night for two weeks staff and volunteers alike were out checking mist nets for new captures. The results were very encouraging as we found 28 species during the study period, a number Hugo was very happy with. It was fascinating to finally get close to these elusive mammals and the variety in both body design and size was impressive. From the Large fruit-eating bat (Aribeus literatus) to the tiny Long-nosed bat (Rhynchonycteris naso) there is a very marked difference which we can never appreciate from the shadows that flit and squeak through the forest as dusk closes in. Bats are the most diverse group of mammals in the rainforest and our records were noticeably lacking any information on these, the most common, of rainforest mammals. Bats are hugely important in the forest ecosystem as pest control for the airborne insects, dispersers of seeds for many canopy fruits and pollinators of many plants including orchids and the vast family of shrubs, Piperacea. That said, we all wished for one specific capture to satisfy our curiosity and this was a species of the much maligned vampire bats. We did not have to wait long as soon into the first week we caught Desmodus rotundus, the Common vampire bat, and not long after Chrotopterus auritus, the Woolly false vampire bat. We have known of their presence for many years as our animals have suffered at the farm from occasional attacks but to finally catch one was truly amazing. My thanks go to Hugo who has returned to Arequipa but he will return later in the year to continue surveying and to help us compare population variations between the wet and dry seasons.
Back at the centre itself we said goodbye to some of our oldest residents in the animal release program. This month we were able to release our two Scarlet macaws (Ara macao) and as we opened the door it was incredibly satisfying to watch them fly out and start circling the lodge calling to each other in what I would love to interpret as joy at their new found freedom. These colourful macaws are threatened by loss of nesting sites through deforestation and hunting for the pet trade and as they flew off deeper into the reserve I hope that the sanctuary of Taricaya will enable them to find a home and live a long and happy life back where they belong. Our second release concerned our oldest pair of Yellow-crowned parrots (Amazona ochrocephala). These birds have also taken a long time to regenerate their flight feathers and soon after they were released I noticed that one of the pair was a significantly better flier than the other. I was concerned that the weaker one would be left behind but over the last couple of weeks they have stayed together around the lodge and as the weaker one continues to strengthen its flight muscles they have begun to roam further a field and I am now confident that they will remain together and eventually move off on their own.
After nearly four years of operating our release program it is unusual for us to receive a new species at the centre but March saw the arrival of two very cute babies belonging to the species Dinomys branickii. These pacaranas are very reclusive nocturnal rodents hunted for their meat and whilst we have received many pacas and agoutis over the years this was a first for us and their arrival caused quite a sensation. Their appetites are voracious and they are growing at a startling rate although their lethargy during the day does not make them all that exciting to watch! They are currently housed in the nursery to escape the colder nights as the dry season starts but they will soon outgrow this accommodation and will be moved to the juvenile enclosures. Another first for us came in the form of a Chestnut-eared aracari (Pteroglossus castanotis). These smaller members of the toucan family live in the forest canopy feeding primarily on fruits and bird's eggs. This individual is almost fully grown and has full adult plumage so I suspect its stay with us will be short lived as we check for potential illnesses and once given the all clear it will be released so it can unite with the wild flocks we see often around the canopy platform. Other new arrivals came in the form of old acquaintances as we received another baby South American coati (Nasua nasua) and a very young Brown capuchin monkey (Cebus apella).
We have also been having some rather good luck with our sensor cameras and this month we have had some great sightings around the reserve. Perhaps one of the best images caught was that of a group of red howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus) feeding on clay in one of our mammal colpas situated inside the reserve. These clay licks are focal points for much of the forest's wildlife as the animals rely on the clay to help pass unwanted toxins safely through their digestive system. The animals that feed on mainly leaves and plants tend to have a higher dependability on this cleansing process but predators also gather around these sites hoping to catch potential meals unaware as they feed! Elsewhere we also caught some white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) on film and also a great tinamou (Tinamus major). These cameras are enabling us to piece together a fuller picture of how the animals are moving around the reserve and also enable us to monitor several different areas at the same time. When we walk around the reserve we naturally tend to startle the animals with our presence and so these cameras are giving us various sets of eyes to which the animals are oblivious.
As the river continues to drop we were left with a lot of residual water in the natural depressions found around the reserve and this meant that our access to canopy was being denied and so with a hardy group of volunteers we decided to tackle the swamps and find a route that would lead us to canopy by the driest (or least deep!) route. Thus with plastic marker flags in hand we headed off into the swamps and found what can best be described a path of least resistance leading us to the base of the canopy platform. Now we will be able to continue our observations and as water levels recede the route will become drier with time.
That almost wraps it up for this month but before leaving I would like to mention a new bird species for the reserve that has been spotted several times from the canopy platform and this is the Black-faced cotinga (Conioptilom mcilhennyi) and brings our total to over 360 species for the reserve. Next month I am sure there will be more new sightings to report along with the implantation of one of our new initiatives in the Ese'eja community of Palma Real and so until then..

In some initiative campaigns, one wishes that both sides could lose.
Too bad that either yes or no will get a victory in Prop 30. The ongoing debate about the measure isn't just the usual dumb California back-and-forth about ballot initiatives. It's a debate that seems designed to increase the ignorance of California voters.
Here's the latest: Gov. Jerry Brown and other backers of Prop 30 are up with ads that claim that the money in the measure will go to schools, and that politicians won't be able to touch it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
In response, opponents have noted that the special account for schools in the measure is essentially a fiction, and that politicians will be able to touch the money.
On the facts, the yes on Prop 30 side is wrong (the money doesn't just go to schools). But in making a huge issue of politicians touching the money, the no side is wrong too -- and misleading.
The problem in California, the reason why California is so famously ungovernable, is not that politicians can touch too much money in the budget. It's that no one -- not politicians, not citizens -- can touch money, manage the budget or make tradeoffs.
Instead, voters -- the real authors of much of the California system -- have put more and more pieces of governance and the budget off limits. With our elected leaders barred from doing so many things, they can't govern.
And voters, instead of blaming themselves for their role, blame the politicians for being unable to do the kind of things that voters have prevented them from doing.
But the yes and no sides of Prop 30 don't recognize this reality, and seek to explain to people what's actually in stake. Instead, they both play to the nonsense and public ignorance, both posing as opponents of political discretion.
When you make that pose, you're taking a stand against governance (which is what elected officials and citizens do with political discretion) and ultimately against democracy.
Which is why both sides of Prop 30 deserve to lose. Is there any way we can arrange that?

HONOLULU (AP) Jordan Baker had 15 points and seven rebounds to lead Pepperdine to a 63-56 victory against Hawaii on Saturday night.
Lorne Jackson and Caleb Willis added 11 points each for the Waves (6-3), who are off to their best start since 2004-05.
Christian Standhardinger had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Isaac Fotu 12 points for the Rainbow Warriors (4-3).
Baker's 3-pointer with 12:40 remaining gave Pepperdine a 41-38 lead and began giving the Waves breathing room. Willis scored seven straight points to increase the cushion to 48-40 with 8:28 to play.
Hawaii got no closer than five the rest of the way and hurt its cause by shooting just 50 percent (13 of 26) on free throws.
The Waves made a season-high 10 3-pointers.
Malte Kramer, making his season debut because of a knee injury, hit two shots from behind the arc late in the first half to help Pepperdine to a 31-23 lead at the break.

Eagle crashes into boat shrink wrap on Interstate
Bird discovered on Friday
A couple towing a boat to northern Minnesota got a surprise visitor: a bald eagle crashed through the shrink wrap while they were traveling on Interstate 94 in Wisconsin.
The eagle dove across the top of the pickup truck of Scott and Marilyn Kregness as they crossed the Red Cedar River near Menomonie at about 70 miles an hour on Friday, according to the Chippewa Herald.
"I ducked in the truck, he was that close," said Scott Kregness, of Tower, Minn. "I saw him for a second and then he was gone."
He said he and his wife looked in the rear view mirror and just saw the hole in the white shrink wrap, but no blood or feathers.
He thought: "He must have bounced out or something." So they kept going.
But a driver following them pulled up beside them with his lights flashing and signaled for them to pull over. They stopped at a Menomonie rest stop, where the driver told the couple the eagle was still inside.
So Scott Kregness unzipped the boat cover and crawled around to the back. He soon found the eagle down between the two motors, alive and upright.
"Now you have an eagle, what do you with it?" Kregness said.
He was surprised it was still alive.
"I thought at highway speeds it probably would have killed the bird," Scott said. "The shrink wrapping on the boat must have softened the blow."
Kregness ended up connecting with Patti Stangel, founder of Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release Inc. in Colfax, who came out to the rest stop.
Other than a little bleeding in the mouth, the eagle appeared to be in good health.
"That crazy bird spot hit the right spot to get into that boat," Stangel said.
She said she had high hopes for the bird because it was angry and feisty.
"As long as the fight is there that's a good thing," she said.
But she sent him to the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota for possible X-rays just in case. The center's director, Julia Ponder, didn't have an immediate update Saturday afternoon.
The couple was taking the boat from Florida to the Breitung, Minn. fire department, which owns it.

And yes, catty people, I would buy a ticket for that match.
OK, maybe I wouldn't. But that's mainly because Bartoli's match with Ivanovic was so dreadful. Marion was clearly having some serious physical issues to the extent that she looked about to die between points, and although she played well, particularly in the first set, it would only have taken a small amount of fortitude from Ivanovic on her serve to take it to a third set, which would have put paid to Marion's challenge. So a bit of an UFE-fest, all told. But it's still an encouraging tournament for Ivanovic, who's so nearly put herself back together, and as for Marion – it's her third Premier semi-final in different events, and I say allez to that.
A bit of revenge and a first Indian Wells semi-final for Wicky, who beat Peer 63 63. I didn't see the match – did anyone? – but no doubt Wickmayer's shorter fourth round match served her well against Peer, who had to battle for hours. I like her chances against Bartoli.

U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-Maine, discusses compromise legislation he helped negotiate that is aimed at correcting problems in the Veterans Administration health care system during a campaign stop at the Portland Public Library on Monday. Christopher Cousins/Bangor Daily News
Republicans continue to assert that Rep. Mike Michaud deserves little or no credit for his leadership on a bipartisan bill that addresses severe problems in the Veterans Administration medical system that included months- or weeks-long wait lists for treatment and in isolated cases, falsifying of records by VA directors.
"It is time to take the rose colored 'I like Mike' glasses off and look at the facts," wrote Brent Littlefield, Gov. Paul LePage's senior campaign consultant, in an email to reporters mid-day Wednesday.
"Michaud pulled the wool over the eyes of some Maine political observers and through those efforts, the Maine people," wrote Littlefield. "Michaud intimated he played an important part of the negotiations on fixing the acute problems at the VA. But if this is the case why is he no where to be seen or heard in the national news coverage on this issue? Did hometown media fall for a Michaud false claim?"
Michaud did appear in at least two national media reports, here and here. And during testimony in the U.S. House on Wednesday afternoon, which preceded the House's overwhelming approval of the bill, several representatives thanked Michaud by name.
They included Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland; Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Indiana; Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas; Rep. Mark Takano, D-California; Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Florida; Rep. Nick Rahall, D-West Virginia; Rep. Ron Barber, D-Arizona; Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Texas; and Rep. Scott Peters, D-California. Michaud also garnered praise from Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Florida, who is the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has also publicly acknowledged Michaud's work on the bill.
In light of the Democrat's gubernatorial bid, Michaud's opponents have cast him as an ineffective congressman who has accomplished little during his time in Washington. In the case of the VA bill, testimony on the floor of the U.S. House Wednesday didn't back it up.
Maine closes FY 2014 budget books in the black
Gov. Paul LePage announced Wednesday that state government finished fiscal year 2014, which ended on June 30, with nearly $50 million in surplus and unspent revenue than $93 million in reserve.
The LePage administration said in a press release Wednesday that year-end calculations revealed a revenue surplus of $39 million, which is due to higher-than-expected tax collections, and a General Fund excess of $9.8 million, which is comprised of unspent money previously appropriated to state departments.
Due to a provision in a supplemental budget bill enacted by the Legislature despite a veto by LePage, the balance of the state's rainy day fund rose by about $8 million to more than $68 million. In addition, an account created by the Legislature in anticipation of shortages in the Department of Health and Human Services between now and June 2015 was stocked with $20 million.
After year-end cash transfers that are required by law, the state has about $12.5 million in unappropriated surplus for current fiscal year.
"With conservative cash management and reliable revenue forecasting, the state of Maine is in a sound financial position entering the new fiscal year," said Finance Commissioner Richard Rosen in a press release. "We still have much work to do but under the leadership of Gov. LePage, the state has made tremendous progress."
Rep. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, who chairs the Legislature's budget committee, said the reserves were due in part to bipartisan supplemental budget work that LePage would not participate in and then opposed with his veto pen.
"I am proud of the fiscal responsibility that our bipartisan budget and the Legislature demonstrated," said Rotundo to MPBN. "We have substantially increased reserves for the state in a budget that the governor vetoed."
LePage said the positive year-end balance is due to fiscal prudence under his administration.
"When I came to Augusta in 2011, I found that our state's reserves had been cleaned out by the previous administration," said LePage in a written statement. "We immediately went to work to pay our long overdue welfare debt to Maine's hospitals, introduce long-term stability to the state's finances and increase the balance of the budget stabilization fund, which is also called the rainy day fund."

The Academy Awards are still more than three weeks away, and, by this point, there's the feeling that everyone involved should be looking (or at least feeling) like Cate Blanchett's desperate, fallen socialite at the end of "Blue Jasmine" — bleary-eyed, babbling and drenched in perspiration. Those who have avoided that fate have probably honed their personal mantra along the lines of Matthew McConaughey's chest-bump money chant in "The Wolf of Wall Street," something along the lines of: Mmmm-hmmm-hmmm. Twenty-four. Mmmm-hmmm-hmmm. More days. Mmmm-hmmm-hmmm-mmmm-hmmmm-hmmm-mmmm-hmmmm. No more chicken dinners or Q&As.
With Oscar voting still almost a week away, might the academy spring a late-season surprise in one of the four acting categories, races that seem to have settled a bit in recent weeks? Here's our predictions:
The nominees:
Christian Bale, "American Hustle"
Bruce Dern, "Nebraska"
Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Chiwetel Ejiofor, "12 Years a Slave"
Matthew McConaughey, "Dallas Buyers Club"
And the winner is: McConaughey. While the leading contenders in the best picture race try to build that last blast of momentum, it feels like McConaughey sealed the deal here sometime between the Christmas premiere of that aforementioned "Wolf of Wall Street" cameo and the Jan. 12 debut of the mesmerizing HBO miniseries "True Detective." When you have the performance and the narrative behind the performance (the McConaissance, man!) along with further evidence of greatness currently before voters' eyes, you have yourself a perfect awards-season storm and the opportunity to hear McConaughey utter the immortal words "all right, all right, all right" one more time from the podium.
Unless: DiCaprio would seem to be the nominee with the most heat right now to challenge, but you wonder about the volume (though not the passion) of "Wolf's" support within the academy. Ejiofor, meanwhile, could receive a nice bump with a win at the British Academy Film Awards next week. There has never been any question over the quality of his work in "12 Years," though some have dismissively called Ejiofor's character "passive," as if the struggle to maintain dignity, identity and sanity as a plantation slave isn't a mind-bending example of enormous effort. Give the man his due.
The nominees:
Amy Adams, "American Hustle"
Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine"
Sandra Bullock, "Gravity"
Judi Dench, "Philomena"
Meryl Streep, "August: Osage County"
And the winner is: Blanchett. Reminiscent of the way Marion Cotillard ran the table for "La Vie en Rose" in 2007-08, Blanchett has been forced to refine her acceptance speech numerous times in the last few weeks. Her win here has felt inevitable since "Blue Jasmine" began screening in July.
Unless: Streep delightfully presents an award to Blanchett sometime between now and the end of balloting, calling out the sins of Woody Allen in the process.
The nominees:
Barkhad Abdi, "Captain Phillips"
Bradley Cooper, "American Hustle"
Michael Fassbender, "12 Years a Slave"
Jonah Hill, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club"
And the winner is: Leto. He took a six-year break from acting. (You could say nearly the same thing about McConaughey from, say, "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" to "Fool's Gold.") And here he is, a likely Oscar winner and a deserving one at that. The "Dallas" duo's respective journeys should give hope to any actor who has lost his way or been denied opportunity. The lesson: It's never too late for a second or third career act. The prediction: Get ready to welcome Robert Downey Jr. back into the fold of serious actors for "The Judge" later this year!
Unless: Um ... hmm ... Leto publicly renounces the craft of acting and returns to music full time? It's difficult to imagine any scenario that doesn't have him winning.
The nominees:
Sally Hawkins, "Blue Jasmine"
Jennifer Lawrence, "American Hustle"
Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"
Julia Roberts, "August: Osage County"
June Squibb, "Nebraska"
And the winner is: Nyong'o. "12 Years" received nominations in three of the four acting categories. "American Hustle" is represented in all four. And it's this race where one of the films should come away with what will likely be its only acting win. Nyong'o has carried herself with grace throughout the awards season and is arguably the most deserving of the nominees for her stunning turn as Patsey, the slave on the receiving end of obsession and cruelty from Michael Fassbender's plantation owner in "12 Years." Also in her favor: Voters like to reward newcomers in this category.
Unless: The academy is ready to give the 23-year-old Lawrence back-to-back Oscars, though it feels just a bit soon for that sort of thing, even for someone as gifted as Lawrence.

I was ever so pleased to have pulled out a good friend at work for Secret Santa. She is into Matryoshka dolls also known as Russian Nesting Dolls. I found these festive themed Russian dolls a few months back, so it was quite timely and fitting that I pulled her name out of the jug,(don't worry I also bought her another gift).
I was given a beautiful Fair Trade hand crafted silk scarf by my Secret Santa - its just my colours. I also received this Cinnamon & Orange Soap and Grapefruit Aloe Shampoo as a Thank you from Amy. The shampoo has twigged D's interest. I said he likes citrus things.
Now onto things under our Christmas tree. One of the gift bags comes from a friend at work (the very same one I had for Secret Santa) and the other gift bag was collaborate effort of a young nephew and nieces. Everything else was mostly from my husband or from me to him. My husband thinks I am hard to buy for, I don't think I am. Of course like most people I would love a bigger house with a bigger kitchen, a real log fire, a dog ...but the truth is I am content with what I already have in my life, everything else is a bonus!
So what did I get? An electric tooth brush and here are some cookbooks; a Owl shaped cookie cutter to go with my cookie cutter collection.Another vegan cookbook, even though I am not vegan - but hey everyone can eat vegan.
This one is not a vegetarian cookbook, but I am a fan of Kelis and had her cookbook My Life on A Plate on my wish list. She has an entire album dedicated to Food, here is a link to one called Breakfast. There are plenty of recipes that can be adapted and some of course are already naturally vegetarian.
