If you spend much time ogling scorpionflies - odd, primitive insects that look as if they were designed by Dr. Seuss - you just might fall in love.
Last week I spent three days looking for them with scorpionfly expert Wes Bicha of Oliver Springs, Tenn. Our quarry, the poorly known Florida scorpionfly (Panorpa floridana), is specific to spring-fed seepage areas in deciduous forests of the Coastal Plain.
The bug had not been seen in the wild for decades. Then, in 2010, it was rediscovered, courtesy of a citizen scientist at Goldhead Branch State Park in northern Florida. After he posted photos of his find on Bug Guide (bugguide.net), excitement erupted among entomologists, as this was only the sixth-ever observation of this species.
Bicha has since discovered that this rare insect adopts cryptic behaviors (e.g., it perches on stems low to the ground where it's often invisible to surveyors) making it tough to find. But, it will come to squid bait glued to vegetation and can be readily collected in this manner. Bicha has now documented the species at several new sites, including one in extreme northern Florida. We planned our noble quest with hopes of finding the first ever specimen of Panorpa floridana in Georgia.
We travel to sites in rural parts of Camden and Wayne counties, Georgia, targeting mesic forests on north-facing bluffs bordering the floodplains of the Satilla River and the Altamaha River. From an open pineland atop a sand ridge, we descend steep slopes into the shadows of ravines forested with large American beech, white oaks and southern magnolias. We pass the shiny fronds of needle palm and a population of the three-birds orchid as we make our way to a series of small, spring-fed streams.
These are among the most enchanting of our Coastal Plain habitats. At one strong seep, a meter-wide rivulet of gurgling water disappears underground, then reappears and drops over a slight ledge like mini-waterfall. The surrounding earth is paradise for the bryophytologist, with abundant lichens, liverworts and lush carpets of lime green sphagnum moss. From past forays, I know orange-colored salamanders and odd dragonflies that require perennial mucky seeps are native to these sites.
Bicha and I spend the day laying out trap lines for scorpionflies. He walks parallel to the stream and about every 30 feet tapes a stamp-sized portion of squid meat to whatever type of broad-leaved plant he can locate (red bay, sweetgum, in a pinch a dog hobble). I follow behind and tie a small piece of pink flagging tape to a nearby branch, marking each bait station. We let the squid ripen, allow the odors to diffuse, and return the next day. By the end of Day 1, we have laid out six separate transects, at three different properties, totaling 66 squid baits. After negotiating steep ravines most of the day and trying to keep up on my surgically reconstructed knees, I was eyeing some of the squid baits with longing.
Why the long face?
A quick taxonomy lesson: Scorpionflies are members of the Class Insecta, Order Mecoptera, Family Panorpidae, Genus Panorpa. They are medium-sized, amber-tinged insects with membranous wings (often patterned with black markings). Chewing mouthparts are situated at the end of especially long beak-like rostra, giving these insects a notably long-faced (and to my eyes beguiling) appearance. The enlarged genitalia of male scorpionflies looks similar to the stingers of scorpions, but these critters neither sting nor bite and are harmless to humans. According to Bicha, there are 55 species known from the U.S., about 16 to 20 in Georgia.
Active during the spring and fall, scorpionflies are not uncommon but are partial to moist, deciduous forest habitats. Scorpionflies consume dead organisms, typically dead insects and other soft-bodied invertebrates. They are the first insects to appear on human cadavers, preceding even blowflies. Some species are kleptoparasites, stealing dead insects from spiderwebs.
If they appear to be lost in time, well, they are. Fossils indicate that scorpionflies and their immediate relatives were enormously diverse during the Permian to Cretaceous Period (ca. 100 million to 280 million years before present) but many species became extinct after the appearance of flowering plants, likely due to competition with other insects.
Like many romantics, the mating habits and practices of male scorpionflies are compelling, tactical and include presenting the female with a nuptial gift. Males locate a soft-bodied insect carcass, and aggressively defend it from other males. It is offered to the female during copulation, but the male may steal the food back after mating. Males lacking insect corpses regurgitate protein pellets of spittle onto a leaf; such salivary secretions sometimes entice females, in lieu of the real dead insect meat. And, yes, mating success is greatest when males have an actual insect carcass.
Courtship occurs at dusk, dawn and at night, and the careful observer may witness male scorpionflies late in the day perched on leaves with their scorpion-esque tails elevated and waving as they disperse species-specific pheromones into the air.
Why scorpionflies?
Bicha developed his interest in the group as a youth in Indiana. While in high school, prior to studying entomology at Purdue University, Bicha's passion for scorpionflies blossomed as he attempted to captive-rear them - their soil-dwelling, caterpillar-like larvae, that is - through all four instars (at that point the larvae pupate then metamorphose into adults). He joined 4-H and his scorpionfly exhibit took home first place at the state fair. He was attracted to them because, "they are peculiar, so different, an absolutely fascinating group."
Bicha, has traveled throughout the U.S, Europe, and most of Asia in pursuit of scorpionflies. Following the construction of roads over remote mountains in Mexico in the 1980s, Bicha would set out for cloud forest habitats, discovering new scorpionfly species that were endemic to certain mountains.
He is in the process of describing a new species of scorpionfly found only in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, as it is partial to the sweet limey soils of this province. He plans to name the mecopteran Panorpa rosemaria for his wife, Rose Marie. He smiles and tells me, "Over the years she has endured a lot of misery traveling with me." I am pretty sure he is joking.
Bait check Day 2
As you know, it's about the thrill of the hunt for us field biologists. As we approach the squid baits on Day 2, I feel my pulse quicken. Bicha leads the charge, with a reinforced cloth-type butterfly net in hand. Scorpionflies are actually feeble fliers, but we want to be sure none escaped.
Although a few have been eaten by yellow jackets, our squid baits remain stuck on the leaves just as we planted them. At one bait, I see the engaging mug of a scorpionfly beak-deep in cephalopod, sucking squid juice for all he is worth.
It's not the Florida scorpionfly we had hoped for, but another uncommon species, Panorpa venosa, known only from Georgia and Florida. We plan to try again in December. Meanwhile, should you see a male scorpionfly atop a leaf, say an hour before dusk, considering sticking around to watch the social fireworks of these unusual insects.

Investing in real estate can be extremely rewarding. But, to get to that point, you need to know how to avoid pitfalls and make informed, timely decisions. To help you find success in investing in Telluride, CO, real estate, check out the tips below.
- Know the market
Make sure to learn as much as you can about Telluride's real estate market. Stay up to date with current trends, including mortgage rates, consumer spending, unemployment rates, changes in local laws and regulations− basically, anything that would affect the market. This will help you plan ahead.
- Check out rental properties in up-and-coming areas
Established, high-value neighborhoods may be tempting, but don't forget to consider emerging communities in the area. They have tremendous potential for growth, can offer you tax breaks, and allow you to maximize profits.
Aside from the location, consider viable property types. If you are after a steady stream of rental income, look into single-family homes. They make up a bulk of the housing stock in the country and are great for almost any type of tenant.
- Take care of your properties
If you have rental properties, be proactive by asking your tenants if they've noticed anything that needs repair. Include a yearly walkthrough of the home in your leases to make sure everything is in good condition.
- Don't hesitate to ask for help
At the beginning, you may be able to manage everything yourself, but you will reach a point where you'll need to hire help. Managing a portfolio of investment properties can be taxing, time-consuming work, after all.
Not everyone is cut out to become a property manager or landlord, and that is fine. If you feel like a professional would do a better job, get in touch with a property manager you can trust to take the burden off your shoulders. Here are a couple of ways that can help you find the right property manager.
Advisors are also important. Your attorney, accountant, or even a good friend can offer advice when needed. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your trusted advisors.
- Understand the risks
As with all other kinds of investments, there are ups and downs to real estate properties. One moment you might be on the green, and the next day might be a completely different story. Simply put, everything will not work in your favor.
Understand the risks of every investment move and decision you make. It also helps to have multiple exit strategies to cushion you if some things don't work out.

I am a lawyer, a pastor and someone forever grateful to Jesus. I love studying the Bible and telling people about Jesus. I am a beggar telling other beggars where to find bread.
No matter where you are in life, I have been there. I want to use what God taught me during those years to help you grow closer to Jesus.
My family is truly wonderful now. The joy and peace in my life amaze me every day. But it was not always this way. My life was once a total mess. Sin almost destroyed me. I was exhausted from striving and struggling with life.
I didn't go from totally lost to living a joyful Christian life in a moment. It took years of research, Bible study, and discipleship. It also took lots of tears and setbacks. Powerful forces come against us when we seek live a sold out life for Christ. God prepared me for sifting through all of the doctrines, arguments, and gimmicks that first kept me from Jesus and try to pull me off of the path to a mature life in Him.
It was only the miraculous power of Jesus that I was saved.

Stories from the world
I took these portraits during my last trip to the Omo Valley, in December 2017. On the evening of December 28th I arrived with my guide Ayeto in the village Kara, built on a hill overlooking one of the beautiful bends of the river Omo. After meeting the villagers and staying in my tent, the next morning I took a series of photographs of men, women, boys and girls of the tribe, in different contexts and situations. The Kara paint their bodies and faces (often trying to imitate the plumage of pharaoh hens) with white lime, clay, iron powder, coal ash or wood. For this portfolio I chose black and white photographs, taken shortly after dawn, to enhance the tribal paintings with which these beautiful natives adorn their bodies and their faces and to capture the incredible light of the morning on their bodies and faces. The high contrasts of black and white, lights and shadows, are combined with the mixed looks between pride and sweetness of the people of this tribe.
Seaweed activity in Zanzibar Island is a current practice that gives coastal women a way to get an extra income for themselves and their families. As observed in Msuya 2012, this occupation is also a well-established kind of activity in the Island, providing raw material for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries, that, among others, use seaweed extracts for making their products.

A Complete Smile Makeover with Porcelain Crowns for Teeth Damaged by Bulimia
Acid Erosion from Bulimia Damages Teeth There are many reasons patients come to see me for cosmetic dentistry. One of the most common reasons is because their teeth are badly worn down from grinding, often in combination with acid erosion that has eaten away at the enamel. Treating these cases can be complex, because if […]Read more
Lead in Crowns from China? Not in our office!
It's been reported by the media recently that some dental crowns, made in China, have been found to have excessively high lead content. Generally, these crowns come from very low-priced laboratories, but the full extent of the problem is not yet known. However, I want ALL of my patients (and potential patients) to know that […]Read more

Abstract: Treatment of chronic pain is associated with high variability in the response to pharmacological interventions. A mathematical pharmacodynamic model was developed to quantify the magnitude and onset/offset times of effect of a single capsaicin 8% patch application in the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy in 91 patients. In addition, a mixture model was applied to objectively match patterns in pain-associated behavior. The model identified four distinct subgroups that responded differently to treatment: 3.3% of patients (subgroup 1) showed worsening of pain; 31% (subgroup 2) showed no change; 32% (subgroup 3) showed a quick reduction in pain that reached a nadir in week 3, followed by a slow return towards baseline (16% ± 6% pain reduction in week 12); 34% (subgroup 4) showed a quick reduction in pain that persisted (70% ± 5% reduction in week 12). The estimate of the response-onset rate constant, obtained for subgroups 1, 3, and 4, was 0.76 ± 0.12 week-1 (median ± SE), indicating that every 0.91 weeks the pain score reduces or increases by 50% relative to the score of the previous week (= t½). The response-offset rate constant could be determined for subgroup 3 only and was 0.09 ± 0.04 week-1 (t½ 7.8 weeks). The analysis allowed separation of a heterogeneous neuropathic pain population into four homogenous subgroups with distinct behaviors in response to treatment with capsaicin. It is argued that this model-based approach may have added value in analyzing longitudinal chronic pain data and allows optimization of treatment algorithms for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions.

Diego de Almagro (Spanish: [ˈdjeɣo ðe alˈmaɣɾo] ; c. 1475 [2] – July 8, 1538), also known as El Adelantado and El Viejo, was a Spanish conquistador known for his exploits in western South America. He participated with Francisco Pizarro in the Spanish conquest of Peru. While subduing the Inca Empire he laid the foundation for Quito and Trujillo as Spanish cities in present-day Ecuador and Peru respectively. From Peru Almagro led the first Spanish military expedition to central Chile. Back in Peru, a longstanding conflict with Pizarro over the control of the former Inca capital of Cuzco erupted into a civil war between the two bands of conquistadores. In the battle of Las Salinas in 1538 Almagro was defeated by the Pizarro brothers and months later he was executed.
The origins of Diego de Almagro remain obscure. He was born in 1475 in the village of Almagro, in Ciudad Real, where he took the surname for being the illegitimate son of Juan de Montenegro and Elvira Gutiérrez. In order to save the honor of the mother, her relatives took her infant and moved him to the nearby town of Bolaños de Calatrava, being raised in this town and in Aldea del Rey, run by Sancha López del Peral.
When he turned four he returned to Almagro, being under the tutelage of an uncle named Hernán Gutiérrez until he was fifteen years old, when due to his uncle's hardness he ran away from home. He went to the home of his mother, who was now living with her new husband, to tell her what had happened and that he was going to travel the world, asking for some bread to help her live in her misery. His mother, anguished, gave him a piece of bread and some coins and said: "Take, son, and do not give me more pressure, and go, and God help in your adventure."
He went to Seville and after probably stealing to survive the boy becomes a "criado" or servant and raised by Don Luis de Polanco, one of the four mayors of the Catholic Monarchs and later his counselor, and who was mayor of that city. While performing his duties as a servant, Almagro stabbed another servant for certain differences, leaving him with injuries so serious that they motivated that a trial against him be promoted.
Being wanted for justice, Don Luis de Polanco, making use of his influence, got Don Pedro Arias de Avila to allow him to embark in one of the ships that would go to the New World from the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda. The Casa de Contratacion demanded that the men who crossed the Indies carry their own weapons, clothes, and farming tools, which Don Polanco provided to his servant.
Diego de Almagro arrived in the New World on June 30, 1514, under the expedition that Ferdinand II of Aragon had sent under the guidance of Pedrarias Dávila. The expedition had landed in the city of Santa María la Antigua del Darién, Panama, where many other future conquistadors had already arrived, among them Francisco Pizarro.
There are not many details of Almagro's activities during this period, but it is known that he accompanied various sailors who departed from the city of Darien between 1514 and 1515. De Almagro eventually returned and settled in Darien, where he was granted an encomienda. He built a house and made a living from agriculture.
De Almagro undertook his first conquest on November 1515, commanding 260 men as he founded Villa del Acla, named after the Indian place. Due to illness he had to leave behind this mission to the licenciate Gaspar de Espinosa.
Espinosa decided to undertake a new expedition, which departed in December 1515 with 200 men, including De Almagro and Francisco Pizarro, who for the first time was designated as a captain. During this expedition, which lasted 14 months, De Almagro, Pizarro and Hernando de Luque became close friends.
Also during this time De Almagro established a friendship with Vasco Núñez de Balboa, who was in charge of Acla. De Almagro wanted to have a ship built with the remaining materials of the Espinosa expedition, to be finished on the coast of the "Great South Sea", as the Pacific Ocean was first called by the Spanish. Current historians do not believe that De Almagro was expected to participate in Balboa's expedition and probably returned to Darien.
De Almagro took part in the various expeditions that took place in the Gulf of Panama, taking part again in Espinosa's parties. Espinosa was supported by using Balboa's ships. De Almagro was recorded as a witness on the lists of natives whom Espinosa ordered to be carried. De Almagro remained as an early settler in the newly founded city of Panama. For four years he stayed there, working at the management of his properties and those of Pizarro. He took Ana Martínez, an indigenous woman, as a common-law wife. In this period, his first son, el "Mozo", was born to them.
By 1524 an association of conquest regarding South America was formalized among Almagro, Pizarro and Luque. [3] :24 By the beginning of August 1524, they had received the requisite permission to discover and conquer lands further south. De Almagro would remain in Panama to recruit men and gather supplies for the expeditions led by Pizarro. [4] :92–102
After several expeditions to South America, Pizarro secured his stay in Peru with the Capitulation on 6 July 1529. [4] :133 During Pizarro's continued exploration of Incan territory, he and his men succeeded in defeating the Inca army under Emperor Atahualpa during the Battle of Cajamarca in 1532. De Almagro joined Pizarro soon afterward, bringing more men and arms. [5] :219–222,233
After Peru fell to the Spanish, both Pizarro and De Almagro initially worked together in the founding of new cities to consolidate their dominions. As such, Pizarro dispatched De Almagro to pursue Quizquiz, fleeing to the Inca Empire's northern city of Quito. Their fellow conquistador Sebastián de Belalcázar, who had gone forth without Pizarro's approval, had already reached Quito and witnessed the destruction of the city by Inca general Rumiñawi. The Inca warrior had ordered the city to be burned and its gold to be buried at an undisclosed location where the Spanish could never find it. The arrival of Pedro de Alvarado from Guatemala, in search of Inca gold further complicated the situation for Almagro and Belalcázar. Alvarado's presence, however, did not last long as he left South America in exchange for monetary compensation from Pizarro. [4] :223–227
In an attempt to claim Quito ahead of Belalcázar, in August 1534 De Almagro founded a city on the shores of Laguna de Colta (Colta Lake) in the foothills of Chimborazo, some 55 kilometres (34 mi) south of present-day Quito, and named it "Santiago de Quito." Four months later would come the foundation of the Peruvian city of Trujillo, which Almagro named as "Villa Trujillo de Nueva Castilla" (the Village of Trujillo in New Castille) in honor of Francisco Pizarro's birthplace, Trujillo in Extremadura, Spain. These events were the height of the Pizarro-Almagro friendship, which historians describe as one of the last events in which their friendship soon faded and entered a period of turmoil for the control of the Incan capital of Cuzco.
After splitting the treasure of Inca emperor Atahualpa, both Pizarro and Almagro left towards Cuzco and took the city in 1533. However, De Almagro's friendship with Pizarro showed signs of deterioration in 1526 when Pizarro, in the name of the rest of the conquistadors, called forth the "Capitulacion de Toledo" law in which King Charles I of Spain had laid out his authorization for the conquest of Peru and the awards every conquistador would receive from it. Long before, however, each conquistador had promised to equally split the benefits. Pizarro managed to have a larger stake and awards for himself. Despite this, De Almagro still obtained an important fortune for his services, and the King awarded him in November 1532 the noble title of "Don" and he was assigned a personal coat of arms.
Although by this time Diego de Almagro had already acquired sufficient wealth in the conquest of Peru and was living a luxurious life in Cuzco, the prospect of conquering the lands further south was very attractive to him. Given that the dispute with Pizarro over Cuzco had kept intensifying, Almagro spent a great deal of time and money equipping a company of 500 men for a new exploration south of Peru.
By 1534 the Spanish crown had determined to split the region in two parallel lines, forming the governorship of "Nueva Castilla" (from the 1° to the 14° latitude, close to Pisco), and that of "Nueva Toledo" (from the 14° to the 25° latitude, in Taltal, Chile), assigning the first to Francisco Pizarro and the second to Diego de Almagro. The crown had previously assigned Almagro the governorship of Cuzco, and as such De Almagro was heading there when Charles V divided the territory between Nueva Castilla and Nuevo Toledo. This might have been the reason why Almagro did not immediately confront Pizarro for Cuzco, and promptly decided to embark on his new quest for the discovery of the riches of Chile.
Charles V had given Diego a grant extending two hundred leagues south of Francisco Pizarro's. Francisco and Diego concluded a new contract on 12 June 1535, in which they agreed to share future discoveries equally. Diego raised an expedition for Chile, expecting it "would lead to even greater riches than they had found in Peru." [4] :230,233–234 Almagro prepared the way by sending ahead three of his Spanish soldiers, the religious chief of the Inca empire, Willaq Umu, and Paullo Topa, brother of Manco Inca Yupanqui. De Almagro sent Juan de Saavedra forward with one hundred and fifty men, and soon followed them with additional forces. [4] :230,233–234 Saavedra established on January 23, 1535 the first Spanish settlement in Bolivia near the Inca regional capital of Paria. [6]
Almagro left Cuzco on July 3, 1535 with his supporters and stopped at Moina until the 20th of that month. Meanwhile, Francisco Pizarro's brother, Juan Pizarro, had arrested Inca Manco Inca Yupanqui, further complicating De Almagro's plans as it heavily increased the dissatisfaction of the Indians submitted to Spanish rule. Not having formally been appointed governor of any territories in the Capitulation of Toledo in 1528, however, forcing him to declare himself adelantado (governor) of Nueva Toledo, or southern Peru and present-day Chile. Some sources suggest Almagro received such a requirement in 1534 by the Spanish king and was officially declared governor of New Toledo.
Once he left Moina, De Almagro followed the Inca trail followed by 750 Spaniards deciding to join him in quest for the gold lost in the ransom of Atahualpa, which had mainly benefited the Pizarro brothers and their supporters. After crossing the Bolivian mountain range and traveling past Lake Titicaca, Almagro arrived on the shores of the Desaguadero River and finally set up camp in Tupiza. From there, the expedition stopped at Chicoana and then turned to the southeast to cross the Andes mountains.
The expedition turned out to be a difficult and exhausting endeavor. The hardest phase was the crossing of the Andean cordilleras: the cold, hunger and tiredness meant the death of various Spanish and natives, but mainly slaves who were not accustomed to such rigorous climate. [4] :252–253
Upon this point, De Almagro determined everything was a failure. He ordered a small group under Rodrigo Orgonez on a reconnaissance of the country to the south. [4] :253
By luck, these men found the Valley of Copiapó, where Gonzalo Calvo Barrientos, a Spanish soldier whom Pizarro had expelled from Peru for stealing objects the Inca had offered for his ransom, had already established a friendship with the local natives. There, in the valley of the river Copiapó, Almagro took official possession of Chile and claimed it in the name of King Charles V.
De Almagro promptly initiated the exploration of the new territory, starting up the valley the Aconcagua River, where he was well received by the natives. However, the intrigues of his interpreter, Felipillo, who had previously helped Pizarro in dealing with Atahualpa , almost thwarted De Almagro's efforts. Felipillo had secretly urged the local natives to attack the Spanish, but they desisted, not understanding the dangers that they posed. De Almagro directed Gómez de Alvarado along with 100 horsemen and 100 foot to continue the exploration, which ended in the confluence of the Ñuble and Itata rivers. The Battle of Reinohuelén between the Spanish and Mapuche indigenous peoples forced the explorers to return to the north.
De Almagro's own reconnaissance of the land and the bad news of Gómez de Alvarado's encounter with the fierce Mapuche, along with the bitter cold winter that settled ferociously upon them, only served to confirm that everything had failed. He never found gold or the cities which Incan scouts had told him lay ahead, only communities of the indigenous population who lived from subsistence agriculture. Local tribes put up fierce resistance to the Spanish forces. The exploration of the territories of Nueva Toledo, which lasted 2 years, was marked by a complete failure for De Almagro. Despite this, at first he thought staying and founding a city would serve well for his honor. The initial optimism that led Almagro to bring his son he had with the indigenous Panamanian Ana Martínez to Chile had faded.
Some historians have suggested that, but for the urging of his senior explorers, De Almagro would probably have stayed permanently in Chile. He was urged to return to Peru and this time take definitive possession of Cuzco, so as to consolidate an inheritance for his son. Dismayed with his experience in the south, Almagro made plans of return to Peru. He never officially founded a city in the territory of what is now Chile. [4] :254
The withdrawal of the Spanish from valleys of Chile was violent: Almagro authorized his soldiers to ransack the natives' properties, leaving their soil desolate. In addition, the Spanish soldiers took natives captive to serve as slaves. The locals were captured, tied together, and forced to carry the heavy loads belonging to the conquistadors.
After the exhausting crossing of the Atacama Desert, mainly due to the harsh weather conditions, Almagro finally reached Cuzco, Peru, in 1537. [4] :254 According to some authors, it was during this time that the Spanish term "roto" (torn), used by Peruvians to refer to Chileans, was first coined. De Almagro's disappointed troops returned to Cuzco with their "torn clothes" due to the extensive and laborious passage on foot by the Atacama Desert.
After his return, De Almagro was surprised to learn of the Inca Manco's rebellion. Diego de Almagro sent an embassy to the Inca, but they mistrusted all of the Spaniards by this time. Hernando Pizarro's men formed an uneasy truce with De Almagro's men, surveying to determine the boundaries of their leaders' royal grants. They needed to determine in which portion the city of Cuzco was located. However, De Almagro's troops quickly took the city and imprisoned the Pizarro brothers, Hernando and Gonzalo, on the night of 8 April 1537. [4] :254–256
After occupying Cuzco, De Almagro confronted an army sent by Francisco Pizarro to liberate his brothers. Alonso de Alvarado commanded it and was defeated during the Battle of Abancay on July 12, 1537. [4] :257 He and some of his men were imprisoned. Later, Gonzalo Pizarro and De Alvarado escaped prison. Subsequent negotiations between Francisco Pizarro and De Almagro concluded with the liberation of Hernando, the third Pizarro brother, in return for conceding control and administration of Cuzco to De Almagro. Pizarro never intended to give up the city permanently, but was buying time to organize an army strong enough to defeat Almagro's troops. [4] :260–262 [7]
During this time De Almagro fell ill, and Pizarro and his brothers grabbed the opportunity to defeat him and his followers. The Almagristas were defeated at Las Salinas in April 1538, with Orgóñez being killed on the field of battle. De Almagro fled to Cuzco, still in the hands of his loyal supporters, but found only temporary refuge; the forces of the Pizarro brothers entered the city without resistance. Once captured, Almagro was humiliated by Hernando Pizarro and his requests to appeal to the King were ignored.
When Diego de Almagro begged for his life, Hernando responded: [4] :262–268
"-he was surprised to see Almagro demean himself in a manner so unbecoming a brave cavalier, that his fate was no worse than had befallen many a soldier before him; and that, since God had given him the grace to be a Christian, he should employ his remaining moments in making up his account with Heaven!"
Almagro was condemned to death and executed by garrote in his dungeon, and then decapitated, on July 8, 1538. His corpse was taken to the public Plaza Mayor of Cuzco, where a herald proclaimed his crimes. Hernán Ponce de León took his body and buried him in the church of Our Lady of Mercy in Cuzco. [4] :269
Diego de Almagro II (1520–1542), known as El Mozo (The Lad), son of Diego de Almagro I, whose mother was an Indian girl of Panama, became the foil of the conspirators who had put Pizarro to the sword. Pizarro was murdered on June 26, 1541; the conspirators promptly proclaimed the lad De Almagro Governor of Peru. From various causes, all of the conspirators either died or were killed except for one, who was executed after the lad Almagro gave an order. The lad De Almagro fought the desperate battle of Chupas on September 16, 1542, escaped to Cuzco, but was arrested, immediately condemned to death, and executed in the great square of the city.
Francisco Pizarro González was a Spanish conquistador, best known for his expeditions that led to the Spanish conquest of Peru.
Gonzalo Pizarro y Alonso was a Spanish conquistador and younger paternal half-brother of Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of the Inca Empire. Bastard son of Captain Gonzalo Pizarro y Rodríguez de Aguilar (senior) (1446–1522) who as colonel of infantry served in the Italian campaigns under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, and in Navarre, with some distinction, and María Alonso, from Trujillo. He was the half brother of Francisco and Hernándo Pizarro and the full brother of Juan Pizarro.
The Spanish conquest of Peru was one of the most important campaigns in the Spanish colonization of the Americas. After years of preliminary exploration and military skirmishes, 168 Spanish soldiers under conquistador Francisco Pizarro, his brothers, and their native allies captured the Sapa Inca Atahualpa in the 1532 Battle of Cajamarca. It was the first step in a long campaign that took decades of fighting but ended in Spanish victory in 1572 and colonization of the region as the Viceroyalty of Peru. The conquest of the Inca Empire, led to spin-off campaigns into present-day Chile and Colombia, as well as expeditions towards the Amazon Basin.
Manco Inca Yupanqui was the founder and monarch of the independent Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba, although he was originally a puppet Inca Emperor installed by the Spaniards. He was also known as "Manco II" and "Manco Cápac II". He was one of the sons of Huayna Capac and a younger brother of Huascar.
Vicente de Valverde y Alvarez de Toledo, O.P., or Vincent de Valle Viridi was a Spanish Dominican friar who was involved in the Conquest of the Americas, later becoming the Bishop of Cuzco. He became the first resident bishop in South America. He was born in Oropesa, Spain, about 1495 and most sources claim he died on Puná Island, now part of Ecuador, in 1541, at the hands of the indigenous peoples.
Juan Pizarro y Alonso was a Spanish conquistador who accompanied his brothers Francisco, Gonzalo and Hernando Pizarro for the conquest of Peru in 1532.
The Battle of Las Salinas was a military conflict and decisive confrontation between the forces of Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro against those of rival conquistador Diego de Almagro, on April 26, 1538, during the Conquest of Peru. Both camps claimed to represent the authority of the Spanish Crown; Pizarro's forces controlled the province of Nueva Castilla, and those of Almagro, Nueva Toledo.
Hernando Pizarro y de Vargas was a Spanish conquistador and one of the Pizarro brothers who ruled over Peru.
Quizquiz or Quisquis was, along with Chalcuchimac and Rumiñawi, one of Atahualpa's leading generals. In April 1532, along with his companions, Quizquiz led the armies of Atahualpa to victory in the battles of Mullihambato, Chimborazo and Quipaipan, where he, along with Chalkuchimac defeated and captured Huáscar and promptly killed his family, seizing capital Cuzco. Quizquiz later commanded Atahualpa's troops in the battles of Vilcaconga, Cuzco and Maraycalla (1534), ultimately being bested by the Spanish forces in both accounts.
Sayri Túpac was an Inca ruler in Peru. He was a son of siblings Manco Inca Yupanqui and Cura Ocllo. After the murder of his mother in 1539 and his father in 1544, both by the Spaniard conquerors, he became the ruler of the Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba. He ruled until 1560.
Alonso de Alvarado Montaya González de Cevallos y Miranda (1508–1555) was a Spanish conquistador and knight of the Order of Santiago.
Francisco Xerez or Francisco de Jerez was a Spanish explorer-turned-historian, the personal secretary of conquistador Francisco Pizarro. He participated in the conquest of Peru during the first two unsuccessful expeditions led by Pizarro, Diego de Almagro and Hernando de Luque in 1524. Xerez did not stay and join The thirteen of the fame in the Isle of Gallo (1526).
Felipillo was a native Amerindian interpreter who accompanied Spanish conquistadors Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro on their various expeditions to Peru during their conquest of the Inca Empire. His real name is not known.
Diego de Almagro II called El Mozo, was the son of Spanish conquistador Diego de Almagro and a native Panamanian Indian.
The Siege of Cusco was the siege of the city of Cusco by the army of Sapa Inca Manco Inca Yupanqui against a garrison of Spanish conquistadors and Indian auxiliaries led by Hernando Pizarro in the hope to restore the Inca Empire (1438–1533). The siege lasted ten months and was ultimately unsuccessful.
The Battle of Ollantaytambo took place in January 1537, between the forces of Inca emperor Manco Inca and a Spanish expedition led by Hernando Pizarro during the Spanish conquest of Peru. A former ally of the Spaniards, Manco Inca rebelled in May 1536, and besieged a Spanish garrison in the city of Cusco. To end the stand-off, the besieged mounted a raid against the emperor's headquarters in the town of Ollantaytambo. The expedition, commanded by Hernando Pizarro, included 100 Spaniards and some 30,000 Indian auxiliaries against an Inca army more than 30,000 strong.
Pedro de Candia was a Greek explorer and cartographer the son of a Venetian family at the service of the Kingdom of Spain, an officer of the Royal Spanish Navy that under the Spanish Crown became a Conquistador, Grandee of Spain, Commander of the Royal Spanish Fleet of the Southern Sea, Colonial Ordinance of Cusco, and then Mayor of Lima between 1534 and 1535. Specialized in the use of firearms and artillery, he was one of the earliers explorers of Panama and the Pacific coastline of Colombia, and finally participated in the conquest of Peru. He was killed in the Battle of Chupas, (Peru), on 16 September 1542, by Diego de Almagro II.
The Battle of Abancay was a battle that took place during the Spanish conquest of Peru. Alonso de Alvarado, sent by Francisco Pizarro to relieve the siege of Cusco, was camped at Jauja with five hundred men. He guarded the bridge and a ford on the Rio de Abancay, awaiting Almagro's men. However, the soldier Alvarado placed in command of the ford, Pedro de Lerma, deserted, allowing Almagro to capture Alvarado's force almost intact.
Gaspar de Espinosa y Luna was an explorer, conquistador and Spanish politician. He participated in the expedition of Pedrarias Davila to Darién and was appointed mayor of Nuestra Señora de la Antigua. He initiated proceedings against Vasco Núñez de Balboa and conquered part of current Costa Rica. After living some time in Spain, he returned to America to join Francisco Pizarro and Almagro in the conquest of the Inca Empire.
The Neo-Inca State, also known as the Neo-Inca state of Vilcabamba, was the Inca state established in 1537 at Vilcabamba by Manco Inca Yupanqui. It is considered a rump state of the Inca Empire (1438–1533), which collapsed after the Spanish conquest in the mid-1500s. The Neo-Inca State lasted until 1572, when the last Inca stronghold was conquered, and the last ruler, Túpac Amaru, was captured and executed, thus ending the political authority of the Inca state.

Hot Topic: Effects of Climate Variability on Fisheries
The lab activity described here was created by Erin Bardar of TERC for the EarthLabs project.
Summary and Learning Objectives
Changes in ocean temperature and wind patterns can alter fish migration patterns, spawning sites, and the availability of stocks for commercial fishing, causing potentially devastating disruptions in the food chain. In this lab investigation, students will explore how climate variability on both short- and long-term timescales affects fisheries.
After completing this investigation, students will be able to:
- understand climate variability on multiple time scales;
- explain how climate variability effects fish populations; and
- explain how the future of fish populations can be predicted using global climate change data.

In this final lab exercise of the Fisheries Unit, students will explore how changes in climate can affect fish populations and the fishing industry. Students will consider climate variability on timescales of years and
The entire investigation should take about two 50-60 minute class periods.
Activity Overview and Teaching Materials
In Part A, students learn about the El Niño phenomenon and examine California squid landing data to explore how this species has historically responded to El Niño events. They read passages from NASA about ocean and weather conditions during a normal year and during an El Niño year.
In Part B, students explore the 1972 collapse of the Peruvian anchovy fishery as an example of how El Niño effects on fish populations can be exacerbated by additional stresses such as overfishing. They interpret a graph of Peru's anchovy catches from 1950 to 2000 and then read about the factors that contributed to the 1972 collapse (cotf.edu/ete/modules/elnino/crbiosphere.html).
In Part C, students consider long-term effects of rising ocean temperatures on fish habitats, migration patterns, and the entire marine food chain. Students read the World Wildlife Fund report Are we putting our fish in hot water? (Acrobat (PDF) 1MB Nov20 07) to learn about the potential long-term effects of global warming on the world's fisheries. They then look at a specific example of how rising ocean temperatures have impacted the Alaska sockeye salmon.
Printable Materials
- Activity Sheet (PDF (Acrobat (PDF) 37kB Dec3 07) and Word (Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx) 20kB Aug7 18))
Teaching Notes and Tips
It may be helpful to begin the investigation with a class discussion of what students know about climate change and its effects on the world's oceans.
The Quicktime movie Visualizing El Niño can be used as a supplement to Part A to help students visualize the complex coupling of the oceans and atmosphere that produces El Niño.
You can assess student understanding of topics addressed in this Investigation by grading their responses to the Stop and Think questions.

Arctic Visions
Arctic Visions is a photographic book series, telling about every arctic country. Eight different countries, with their own story and concept. Eight paper volumes with nine, not bounded cards, each one can be hanged up on the wall or kept in the bookshelf. They will transport you there, in the arctic, looking for everything that until that moment you had just imagined. The goal of Arctic Visions is to tell the strongest and riskiest elements, sensitizing our eyes to their beauty and their fragility.
Lands populated almost exclusively by natives, the place that has always been called "home". Stories and traditions have distant memories, but despite all difficulties, they still have been practiced today, and handed down in the circle of life.
Arctic Visions is a travel in reverse, until the origins, to come back to be human, I feel inside me the recall of freedom of those lands. A part of the world where it is impossible to lose, where the nature is still the man's house, where the time follows its rules, and the seasons change the earth like the sky and the silence of the horizon speaks an ancient language. Human being goes back to being animal between the animals. Where the beauty assumes the forms of the trees that draw the landscape, it expresses the call of the animal, it paints of the colours of the northern lights and it perfumes of this primordial smell that you can feel where the time stopped and human has never been. And there I arrive, finally. I enter in the perfection of the landscape that composes Arctic Visions, a collection of photos that tells every Arctic country, each one with its own concept, with its own history. Eight paper volumes with nine photos each one, not bounded, to hang or to keep in the library. It will seem to be there, in the Arctic, and to watch everything that until now you just imagined. The purpose of Arctic Visions is to tell the strongest elements and at risk by raising awareness our eyes to their beauty and fragility.
A book series of eight paper volumes self-made, where inside you can find nine cards to tell the story of every arctic country, each one with its own concept, its own theme and its own history. The purpose of the fanzine is to tell the strongest and riskiest elements, supporting this long arctic travel.
For every fanzine sold, i am going to plant 5 trees with the association calls: "Trees For The Future".
I chose Trees For The Future because I think I have found a way to solve more problems with a single solution: planting trees.
Through tree planting efforts they are able to help maintain a healthy ecosystem in multiple regions, reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere and provide jobs for those living in poverty. For this reason Trees For The Future is undoubtedly a great body not profit.

Interview With CHeU Noodle Barcon per per buon giorno in spagnolo samsung s6 edge trony come capire se ГЁ avvenuto il concepimento
I due chef giovani sono diventati dei superstar a Milano grazie alla haute cusine creativa al ristorante Al Mercato. Recentemente, hanno aperto Al Mercato Noodle Bar , un piccolo ristorante a due piani che propone diversi cibi asiatici sempre in tema Street Food. Appena sono entrato, il locale stretto mi ha ricordato del Noodles in Via Vigevano. Al Noodle Bar, hanno anche un primo priano, raggiungibile con delle scale ripide. L'effetto ricorda un autobus a 2 piani, come scrive Emanuele Bonati.
We stumbled by this place on a shopping day in Milan and couldn't find ourselves better. Really cool and modern place, great atmosphere, food just amazing!!! Service a bit slow but worth once the food arrives. Will come back for sure. Very small but nice place, very good and kind service. They serve particular fusion dishes.

Terrific Asian food. My favorite remains the Tonkatsu. Totally addictive. I could sit here for hours. Very cool place to hang, a ton of students from the Bocconi University. The WiFi is great but the food is delicious.
Al Mercato Noodle Bar is the third challenge of our chef: open on July Ubiquitously, Street Food, but with a strong Asian influence: excellent cocktails and libations are offered, accompanied by a varied and constantly innovative food selection. A Singapore Sling could be paired with a Yakitori, or Dim Sum, Noodles and numerous other dishes with unconventional flavors, prepared exclusively in-house, using artisanal recipes with a scrupulous attention to gourmet quality. A carefully selected location, directly across the street from the world renowned and cosmopolitan Bocconi University of Milan. Open to and frequented by students from around the globe, most famously on an international level, is their prestigious Faculty of Economics.

Schools known for good merit aid
edited July 8 in Parents Forum
On a couple of other threads, the question of which schools give good merit aid is being discussed. This comes up often, but the combined knowledge of all those here on cc tends to be buried among many posts on many related topics.1974 replies
I thought I'd start a thread here. I have only a little knowledge, but will start with a few that I know of/recall being mentioned.
Hope this will be an efficient repository of the info that so many can use.

Replies to: Schools known for good merit aid
I think we need to set some definitions. What exactly are we defining as "good with merit money?"
Are we talking about schools that give full rides to a few selected students or are we talking about schools that give merit awards to a high percentage of students? Two completely different things -- and the average merit award is probably something we need to consider as well. Some schools potentially fall into both categories.
Schools that give full rides (or close to it) to selected students:
Southwestern U (TX)
Seattle U
Johns Hopkins
University of Arizona
Arizona State U
Schools that offer some merit money to a large percentage of students:
Goucher (this may be changing however)
College of Wooster
University of Redlands
Chapman U
University of Puget Sound
Gustavos Adolphus
Case Western
Texas Christian University
digmedia 3123 replies209 threads Senior MemberWe can compile a huge list of schools which may actually not help much. What I'd like to propose is that people post a list of links to college scholarship pages that show merit grants and what it takes to qualify for them. For example, Ohio University (Athens, OH) is a public school, but gives automatic aid for certain SAT/GPA/Rank combinations, and also gives extra money for out-of-state students:
Also especially interesting is Southwestern University's Merit Calculator for determining in advance how much merit money they'll give you:
This kind of SPECIFIC information was most helpful to me in doing some research.
Good idea,s dig and carolyn. We can add links and, where we know it the merit aid "policies and practices."
Tulane offers 100 (I believe)DHS full tuition (not room/bd) rides; and a very good % of generous merit awards (2005-6 was $19K for the DSA, about $15K for Founders; others for La. residents and urban residents (cities >200,000).

My son received their top scholarship which was at the time $9000 (36000-4 years) and I believe there were quite a few more recipients - maybe around 40.(He did not attend) We also know another kid from our high school who received one of the scholarships at a lesser amount; he was a good student but not stellar. I know I saw a chart somewhere on the website that shows number of recipients for each award each year. I can't remember if the number I saw was for the top scholarship or all of them.
Rhodes College
High both in numbers and amount, also give community service scholarships for kids interested in community service, not pure merit. These scholars do a certain number of community service hours.

A Pará public prosecutor said last Tuesday (26) that black slavery in Brazil occurred because "indigenous people don't like to work."
"This problem of slavery here in Brazil happened because indigenous people do not like to work. And this remains the case today," said attorney Ricardo Albuquerque da Silva in a presentation to students at a university in Pará. He is also a general ombudsman for the Public prosecutor office.
"The Indian would rather die than dig the mine, plant for the Portuguese. And that's why they [Portuguese colonizers] went to fetch people from the tribes there in Africa to replace the Indian labor force here in Brazil."
He also said that he doesn't think "we owe quilombolas anything." "None of us here have a slave ship. None of us brought a ship full of people from Africa to be enslaved here in Brazil."
Later he said that "everyone is equal in rights and duties, men and women. You can choose who you want to be; you don't care. But everyone is equal. You don't have to be gay, be black, be Indian, be yellow, to be blue, to be the recipient of some public policy. This is wrong. What you have my loves is mutual respect. The rest is bullshit. "
In a statement, the Public Prosecutor's office said it did not agree with the content of da Silva's speech.
