Cheesy Peeps
Strange Bedfellows at C'est Cheese Beer and Cheese Tasting
Certain food-and-beverage combos are so perfectly, deliciously right together, they just shouldn't be messed with: cookies and milk, toast and coffee, steak and martini(s). Until Wednesday, I would have surely tacked the trusty wine-and-cheese pair onto that list. But at this month's C'est Cheese cheese tasting event, I found enlightenment, which came in the form of Beer.
And get this, at one point during the evening, owner Katherine Graham actually said she thinks beer pairs better with cheese than wine.
And, you know, she may be right.
Of course, it probably helped that Santa Barbara's resident brew czar Eric Rose, of the Hollister Brewing Company, was in charge of the suds, for he is every bit as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about beer as Katherine and her partner, Michael, are about cheese. And, let's be frank, if you're going to be knowledgeable and enthusiastic about anything, beer and cheese are tough subjects to beat.
Though I've tucked into the shop more than once and always found the place charming, the staff friendly, and the scent delightfully stinky, this was my first foray into the world of C'est Cheese's much-buzzed-about tastings. And now, not only do I know that the amazing, soft-ripened Mount Tam cheese, so rich it may as well be butter, goes perfectly with an IPA, I know why these events are always such a hot ticket.
We sat down and were presented with the evening's menu, a plate with each of the five cheeses we'd be tasting, and a glass, which was promptly filled with Rose's Hefeweizen-inspired Kristalweiss. I listened while savoring the smooth yumminess of the Humboldt Fog, and trying to go easy on the beer-then, upon tasting said beer, revised that plan and, opting to enjoy every last drop. I repeated the exercise four more delectable times, noticing how each beer brought out certain flavors in its cheese, and vice versa, and how the carbonation of the beer seemed the perfect counterpoint to the creaminess of the cheese, just as Graham had said it would. I was becoming a believer in this strange union of hops and milk, and, as if to prove the point, the final duo seemed made for each other: English Stilton and the Belgian Dark Strong Ale, sweet and creamy as a beer milkshake.
A beer milkshake? Sounds strange, but I think it could work.

Assigning ARIN IPV6 Address Space to Server Sky
How many IPV6 addresses will be needed for individual thinsats in a heavily populated server sky constellation?
IPV6 uses a 128 bit address space, and is currently being assigned in very large address blocks, up to 48 bits (the address space for IPV4, comprising most of the machines on the internet, is 32 bits). 48 bits corresponds to 280 trillion unique addresses. This will certainly cover the 100 billion version 2 thinsats permitted in m288, but it may be insufficient for larger constellations of smaller thinsats at greater distances.
It is convenient to assign addresses to particular positions along the orbit. That tells ground antennas where to point. The azimuth angle of the antenna to reach a specific device will then be a simple function of time of day. In fine detail, apogee skew and distance across the constellation will change the angle somewhat, but routers and DNS servers within the ground antenna's narrow "sky spot" can provide further location information to precisely position the beam for subsequent packet exchanges.
m288 will be sparsely populated. Assuming 2 kilometer constellation boxes and a 50 kilometer minor radius, there is room for 40177 angular slices of boxes around the orbit, and 1963 boxes per slice. Slices can be addressed with 16 bits, and boxes with 11 bits. This permits up to 19 bits of addressing within a box, or 512K individually addressable devices. Since large arrays may exceed one million thinsats, and each thinsat may have many IP addresses, this is inadequate, but not greatly so.
If we use 5 kilometer constellation boxes, then there are 16071 slices ( 14 bits ) and 312 boxes per slice ( 9 bits ). We may arbitrarily assume that boxes can rearrange themselves within a slice, and limit slice population to less than 256 ( 8 bits ). That leaves 26 address bits within a box, or 64M individually addressable devices.
In the distant future, deep space arrays at asteroidal distances will consume far more IPV6 bits. Assuming very small thinsats, each consuming perhaps a watt and in total consuming 10% of solar output, with 16 IP addresses per thinsat, the total number of addresses is about 6E26 . That can be handled with 89 bits. A sparse spatial matrix may increase the number of bits to address all the boxes out there, but at those scales the routing will probably be hierarchical and local routing can increase the efficiency of address assignment. So all of solar system space can be handled with 92 bits. That leaves 36 bits to address 70 billion solar systems around the galaxy; perhaps by the time we populate other galaxies we can develop new standards for a larger-than-128 bit address space.

Despite the media's explicit importance in conducting international affairs, researches of the role of the press in International Relations still appear to have done little to resolve the communication aspect of international relations appropriately and concisely. Three reasons could have led to the lack of support to media role of international relations:
a) The lack of ability to communicate in several languages;
b) The recognition of the global media's echo, the shallowness of which could make it difficult to collect adequate corpus;
c) A global relations strategy that would make it difficult for the media to be objected to
The first two reasons emphasize the need to learn many languages to spread various national media, that is to say, an "international media echo," the widespread media comment on what is being said in the mainstream press. The third possibility indicates that the prevalence of realism in the conventional approach of international relations has helped to explain the role of correspondence and the mainstream media in world affairs more clearly and more effectively than others.
The State is viewed as the primary player on the international stage in the traditional practical context of the global political study. Politicians, who are following national interests and are not affected by external domestic forces such as the mainstream media, should pursue foreign policies. The information exchange and mass media were not seen in this realistic tradition formed in the 1940s as part of government power, but like the propaganda instruments used by the states in the international scene for
specific conflicts.
The worldwide media has first established a' global village,' to point out shifts in peoples ' views of their own and those around. The media supplies details and shapes the world process of learning, which makes the mass media equally influential in the global picture. The press is thus becoming essential instruments to define "in-group" uniqueness against "out-group" heritage depending on a range of parallels and criticisms.
Throughout terms of creation of partners and enemies of the people, the opinions of others are crucial to this purpose. In other words, the media helps build the world of politics.
Furthermore, the change in the government power structure will define the political significance of the media. The media pluralize forces that oppose the ability of power to influence as well as control. National and international news organizations generally distribute knowledge and photographs around countries and create interrelationships between domestic and global citizens.
The world media has implemented its audiences into the process of war, harmony and diplomacy. The strategies of the international media to gain public attention have put crisis and controversy at the forefront to persuade their readers to engage and to shape policy. At the same period, states will render their military system widely known for their purposes using the media platforms. This model has been alluded to since the 1990s in the definition of' CNN effect.' Therefore, "the impact of the Al Jazeera" is a new way of doing things from the 2000s that is the Web as well as the effects of all networking information technology on world politics, particularly democratizing.
Such three points note that the media's role in media and policy discourse is divisively addressed. In particular concerning its impact on internal politics, on decision-making in foreign policy and on the dissemination of political leaders ' pictures, on the development of the global civilian society, the public space and political activism.
A critical connection between media and society forms part of the media's role in transmitting, reproducing and spreading evidence, ideas, and ideals through broader social and foreign systems. Such functions are theoretical devices that create sense and naturalize ties of power; they are becoming the instruments of dominance. To order to encourage favourable circumstances and meanings, legislators would like to manipulate knowledge and improve their electorate. The importance of media dialogue in expressing ideas on how people are thinking about themselves and also about other nations is therefore essential. Particularly when agreeing on a significant issue for public debate, the media pick, coordinate and illustrate reporting. The media cannot compel us to respond, but definitely, they affect our opinions and also how we talk about them through their ideology-building feature. The media often serves as a platform in society, or as a loudspeaker for the political statements. In this situation, the intense coverage of a news topic can be used to inform or manipulate people as a means of influencing the media schedule.
More than that, mainstream parties and special interest groups could use the media for political redeployment to recruit supporters, to call for public gatherings, to protest, to the campaign, or for demonstrations. The last political role of the government, the legitimization of the system serves to socialize the public to accept the prevailing social standard and structures that they represent. By comparison, the media may lead to an increase in the degree of political cynics and civic complacency that at least in some of the viewers can have a conscripting or delegitimizing impact.
Arguably, the ability of media is dependent on the degree to which governments influence the equilibrium between the media and the basis of power. The critical question here is who decides what should and should not be discussed. In evolutionary theories, especially political cooperation and political philosophy, this question can be answered in several ways. The first is the power of the media's expressions, sounds and pictures that could impact elections. The political economy methodology uses the control and ties of ownership that defines the institutional restrictions and connectivity to examine the' influence' on judgment-making.
This methodology contrasts from a news media possessed and worked by ideological groups or the state, in the liberal state with the legitimate assurance of the right to speak freely of discourse. Of starters, pluralist and law-based systems are more fruitful than non-law based governments in impacting the press. The media would be utilized to legitimize and famously bolster elites ' political choices. The forces of the pioneers rely on people, in general, to cast a ballot in vote based systems. So they utilize the media for explanation and legitimization of government, which suggests the press, is the fourth state to safeguard the system from over the top control.

Now Is The Time! "Armor Yourself Against the Predator State!"Written by Charles Goyette Subject: Charles Goyette Show Archive
Lew Rockwell: "Against the destitution at our doorstep, governing classes will set wage and price controls, ration goods and services, institute death panels, militarize everything, remove the last little privacy people have, confiscate gold and silver, suppress alternatives to their worthless fiat, escalate their programs of identity theft and blackmail, further dumb us down by mainstream state propaganda media and public education warehouses, and torture ordinary citizens while they pretend that America is still God-chosen. This will be history repeating itself. Thus, in the face of these horrific crises, a remnant will have protected themselves and will survive by arranging to hold and hide physical gold and silver and by arming themselves through studies of Goyette's book, The Dollar Meltdown, and Murray Rothbard's works, with deeper understanding of this grim pattern."

After weeks of anticipation, Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Cliff Lee finally has a new home.
Just hours after it was reported that the New York Yankees were close to acquiring Lee's services, the Mariners dealt the 31-year-old southpaw to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Justin Smoak and minor leaguers Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke and Matt Lawson.
Mariners reliever Mark Lowe was also sent to Texas as part of the deal.
In terms of fantasy value, Lee's has nowhere to go but down.
After 13 starts (103 2/3 innings) this season, Lee owns a sparkling 2.34 ERA and 0.95 WHIP, both of which top his 2008 Cy Young Award-winning totals. He also boasts a jaw-dropping strikeout-to-walk ratio of 89 to 6.
In his last eight starts, Lee has lasted at least eight innings seven times, including three complete games.
Lee's BABIP and strand rate are normal, but his xFIP is nearly a full run higher than his current ERA.
In Seattle, Lee benefited from the spacious fields of Safeco (the fourth-best park in which to pitch in terms of runs scored, according to MLB Park Factors). Texas, however, is the fifth-worst park in which to pitch in terms of runs scored.
Since 2008 (Lee's Cy Young season), the former Expo, Indian, and Phillie has pitched in Arlington three times. In those three starts as the visiting pitcher, Lee was rocked to the tune of a 7.10 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 19 innings.
It is worth noting, however, that Lee allowed just two runs in nine innings at Rangers Ballpark earlier this season.
Still, a slight drop-off should be expected. Is he still a top-10 pitcher for the remainder of the season? Probably. Top-five? Absolutely not.
Seattle's big return, switch-hitting first baseman Justin Smoak, will be inserted into the Mariners' lineup, possibly in the six-hole. His value takes a slight hit playing for an offensively-challenged team in a pitcher's park.
The potential middle-of-the-order superstar has experienced some tough luck through his first 235 Major League at-bats, falling victim to a .238 BABIP. Smoak's 23.9 percent line drive rate, however, suggests better days are ahead. (For more on Justin Smoak, including 2010 projections, click here.)
Smoak's departure opens a spot in the Rangers' lineup for Chris Davis, who was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. In 293 plate appearances with Oklahoma City this season, the 24-year-old has hit 19 doubles, 10 homers and boasts a .354/.403/.555 triple slash.
While Davis struggled mightily with the Rangers earlier this season, his 2009 second-half performance (six home runs, 26 RBI, .308 average in 133 at-bats) following a short minor league stint could be a sign of things to come.
His raw power is undeniable, but so too are his strikeout totals. He's worth a cautious look in most leagues.
Blake Beavan is a former first-rounder who—at 6'7″ and 250 pounds—projects as a back-of-the-rotation innings-eater. The 21-year-old owns a 2.78 ERA, a 5.6 K/9 rate, and a 1.0 BB/9 in 110 innings at Double-A this season.
Neither Josh Lueke or Matt Lawson rank among the Rangers' top-30 prospects according to Baseball America. Lueke boasts ridiculous strikeout and walk rates in 38 1/3 relief innings this season between Single-A and Double-A, but at age 25, his long-term value is bleak. Matt Lawson is a 24-year-old second baseman/outfielder playing in Double-A. He's a long-shot prospect and shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar.

Why Is Sports Psychology So Important In Sports Today?
Individuals advertise extreme sport occasions and courses like it's something safe and funky you need to do. Ha! On a word of analytical finality, this textual content is a compendium of irresistible sports management ideas. Voleyball ( men & ladies ) was first featured at the 1964 Olympic Video games in Tokyo ( Japan ). The host nation received the ladies's volleyball competitors. Do you know- The most popular sports are soccer, athletics, basketball, curler hockey, and handball.
As the primary sports journals began appearing round 1900, the public turned more and more fascinated within the sports image, which frequently would come with images of gamers on the tennis inexperienced, golfling or on the hunt for wild game.
As the nineteenth Century was coming to a close, within the 1880s scientific motion research of athletes in action were produced in the United States and Germany, the technology was still not considered on the sporting discipline.
However so as to achieve this objective, sponsors must be convinced that the sport or the sporting character is a good suits with their model's personality and prefer a uniqueness that's particular to their brand so as to prevent any shopper confusion.
For some sports like skateboarding it is cheaper, for some like scuba diving it's dearer – but with out exception, working towards excessive sports will cost some of your hard-earned cash. For instance, if the racket with which you play badminton isn't of appropriate weight your hand may not reply in the ideally suited vogue while enjoying the game.

The biggest news to come out of competition last weekend was Utah losing Corrie Lothrop for the season after a torn Achilles during floor warmups. This injury is devastating for the Utes. I'd compare it to UCLA losing Sam Peszek, also the reliable rock of the team, but Utah doesn't have a Vanessa Zamarripa to fall back on. It is unlikely that Dabritz and Tory Wilson's vault can carry that load.
So far this season, the Utes have put up an average score of 196.319, so every meet the team as a whole is averaging 0.319 better than 9.800 (given that a meet of 9.800s would result in 196). Lothrop herself has contributed 14 counting scores to the team so far this season, single-handedly averaging 0.163 over 9.800. So if Lothrop were replaced with 9.800 in every position, the team average would be 196.156, good for #9 in the country instead of #7. That's if they can get 9.800s out of their 7th workers. The future of this team without her on bars and beam will be a story to watch this season.
Another story to watch over the next few weeks will be the evolution of road RQS. Most teams have just three or four road meets left this season, so there is precious little time for those teams that won't want to count any of their current road scores to record viable numbers for the three required road scores. Estimating broadly based on the current trend and past scoring, it's going to take three road scores averaging in the lower 196s (unless there is a monster home score balancing it out) to snatch a top twelve seed at Regionals. For a top six seed, it's looking like it will take closer to a 197 average for the three road scores (once again, assuming regularish home scores).
Below, I have calculated how the top 25 teams currently rank based on the average of their road scores to be used as a guideline for how much improvement/score dropping needs to occur in the coming weeks.
1. Florida – 197.075
2. Oklahoma – 196.950
Florida currently has just two road scores and would like to drop the 196.575 but probably doesn't need to. Another big score at either Georgia or Utah and the Gators are set. Oklahoma competes about 150 times this season and already has three usable road scores. The next eight meets are about getting two or three more scores over 197 and then posturing for the postseason.
3. Alabama – 196.700
4. Michigan – 196.675
6. Georgia – 196.488
This next group is in a healthy position. They all need a couple more solid high 196s, but they have enough mid-196s that falling back on them wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. For them, it will be about pumping up those mid-197 home scores and avoiding any road scores under 196.300 from here on out that would put RQS pressure on a road conference championships performance.
7. Nebraska – 196.225
9. Utah – 195.950
10. Stanford – 195.825
11. Auburn – 195.768
12. Oregon State – 195.606
This group is primarily the "scores to drop" brigade. LSU has some 195s, Utah has that 195.300 at UCLA, and Oregon State has the Cancun score to contend with. The teams here that challenge for a top-six placement will be the ones who replace those scores with higher 196s in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Auburn shows its strength by being in this group. That road 196.725 will serve the Tigers well, but they still need four more scores over 196 (at least one on the road) to hope for top 12 at Regionals.
13. Denver – 195.488
14. Arizona – 195.275
14. Maryland – 195.275
16. Kentucky – 195.150
17. Kent State – 194.942
18. Minnesota – 194.925
19. Central Michigan – 194.900
20. Ohio State – 194.758
21. Boise State – 194.700
22. Illinois – 194.533
23. California – 194.350
24. Washington – 194.188
25. Arkansas – 193.075 (Five more road meets, three big scores needed)

Pain after breast cancer surgery can be persistent and debilitating.
Pain after major surgery is to be expected, but pain persisting beyond the normal healing period is considered chronic. Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) is a type of chronic pain that occurs after breast cancer surgeries such as mastectomy, lumpectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, which involves removing lymph nodes in the underarm region. Pain from PMPS has been described as a burning sensation; a shooting, stabbing pain; or a throbbing, aching or oppressing pain. Study results vary, but show that anywhere from 20 to 68 percent of breast cancer survivors experience PMPS. This condition can develop up to several months after surgery and can persist for three to six or more years.
Direct injury to the intercostobrachial nerve and other sensory nerves in the underarm (axilla) and breast areas during surgery causes PMPS. Subsequent formation of scar tissue from surgery for breast cancer may also be a cause. And, contrary to its name, studies have shown that PMPS may occur more often after breast-conserving therapy (lumpectomy) than after modified radical mastectomy.
Studies have also shown that the risk of PMPS may increase with the extent of axillary intervention, as axillary dissection has been shown to be a critical component in chronic pain following breast cancer surgery. Other factors that increase the risk of PMPS include treatment with radiation or chemotherapy after surgery, younger age (under 40) at time of diagnosis and larger tumor size. A tumor located in the upper, outer quarter of the breast (near the underarm) also increases the risk of PMPS because surgery in this area carries a higher risk of nerve damage.
Pain from PMPS typically occurs in the upper arm, underarm region, shoulder and chest wall—areas served by the damaged intercostobrachial nerve. However, pain could also occur in the surgical scar. PMPS symptoms might also include abnormal sensations, such as an electric-shock type of pain that overlies a constant aching and burning feeling.
The pain can be mild and manageable, or severe enough to interfere with daily activities. It could also impair movement or use of the affected arm, which can lead to stiffness, pain and limited shoulder rotation, a condition called frozen shoulder. PMPS symptoms can be continuous or intermittent, with pain occurring every day or only a few days a week. The pain can also be aggravated or worsened by shoulder strain, household chores and even simple stretching.
Managing the symptoms of PMPS is important not only for pain relief but also to reduce the negative impact it can have on daily activities and quality of life. Initial treatment can involve routine use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen. Pain limited to the surgical scar can often be managed with injections of a local anesthetic or steroid. Capsaicin cream, a topical anesthetic, has also been shown to be effective for scar pain. Sometimes more extensive pain management is required. In these cases, antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, anticonvulsants, such as gabapentin, and opioids, such as oxycodone, can be used to relieve neuropathic pain. Another option is a nerve block, which involves injecting an anesthetic or steroid into the nerves of the affected area.
Non-drug interventions can also be helpful, and include massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology and counseling. Physical therapy with arm and shoulder exercises is also helpful when it comes to increasing range of motion to prevent frozen shoulder.

A city that knows each of us and loves us accordingly, even if we have never set foot on its viali, sets the stage for events connecting eight characters' lives. Most would not have crossed paths if not for Rome -- this ninth, and perhaps most influential, protagonist. Against the backdrop of history and camera-ready vistas, however, a noir Rome emerges: populated by transients and migrants and still saturated with the crisis of European civilization, its search for faith, and the turmoil of the late 20th century. The eternal city absorbs and alters the fates of its inhabitants, who bring with them the memories of their distant homes and pasts, which converge as a tuning fork upon which the polyphony of the novel is trained. The first novel of an accomplished poet, its prose resonates with attention to sound and language.
Alexandra Petrova was born in Leningrad and has published three volumes of poetry: "The Line of Detachment" (Liniia otryva, 1994), "Residence Permit" (Vid na zhitel'stvo, 1999), and "Only the Trees" (Tolko derevia, 2008). In addition, in 2001, she published a ten-act philosophical operetta titled "Dolly's Shepherds" (Pastukhi Dolly). She was short-listed for the Andrei Bely Prize in 1999 and in 2008. Her poems have been translated into multiple languages. She lives in Rome.

19 Jul Smarter Home Equals Higher Value
By Lisa Montgomery/Rob Capello. July 14 2016. For electronichouse.com
Smart home products can make your home more attractive to homebuyers.
Since the dawn of time, home realtors have been chanting about the importance of "location, location, location." But when it comes to buying and selling your home, a number of other factors are also super important – house size, age, history, layout, renovations, and even smart home technology.
The fact is smart devices can have a significant impact on the value of your home – and how much interest it can generate from potential buyers.
The Future Is Now, and It's Super Smart
As reported by CNET, both millennials (47% of whom own smart home products) and parents with kids under 18 still living at home (42%) buy smart home devices at much higher rates than the average person. And that demographic spread suggests that ubiquitous smart home adoption may arrive at breakneck pace. Here's why.
In our information-centric age, we're growing evermore expectant of having data tied into every aspect of our lives and society. As such, we've collectively developed "The Internet of Things" (IoT) a network of physical devices, appliances, vehicles, buildings, and more – each one embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity – that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Experts even estimate that the IoT will continually expand to consist of almost 50 billion smart products by 2020.
Be Smart and Benefit – Increase the Resale Value of Your Home
According to a joint survey just conducted in 2015 by CNET and Coldwell Banker, nearly half of all consumers who have installed smart products in their homes – such as a Nest thermostat, an smart lock, or a Lutron lighting kit – averaged a savings of over $1,100 a year on their energy bills. But here's the coolest part: These smart devices can actually make you money in the future.
When it comes to reselling your home, smart home products are increasingly becoming the norm. Realtors are noticing that younger homebuyers are even expecting smart technology in any houses they consider buying these days. As such, smart thermostats, lighting, door locks, security systems, and other smart products are projected to rapidly rise in popularity to meet the current and forthcoming demand.
In fact, in that same study, 81% of current smart home device owners said they would be more willing to buy a home with connected tech already in place. And 66% said they would leave their smart-home products behind if they thought their house would sell faster as a result.
Don't let your home be left in the dust when it comes time to sell it. Enjoy the ease it brings, and let your wallet thank you later.

LONDON (AP) — The European Commission on Thursday made a formal, legally binding request for information from Elon Musk's social media platform X over its handling of hate speech, misinformation and violent terrorist content related to the Israel-Hamas war.
It is the first step in what could become the EU's inaugural investigation under the Digital Services Act, in this case to determine if the site formerly known as Twitter is in compliance with the tough new rules meant to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content.
San Francisco-based X has until Wednesday to respond to questions related to how its crisis response protocol is functioning. Responses to other questions must be received by Oct. 31. The commission said its next steps, which could include the opening of formal proceedings and penalties, would be determined by X's replies.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The company's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, said earlier that the site has removed hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts and taken down or labeled tens of thousands of pieces of content since the militant group's attack on Israel. One social media expert called the actions "a drop in the bucket."
Yaccarino on Thursday outlined steps taken by X to combat illegal content flourishing on the platform. She was responding to an earlier letter from a top European Union official for information on how X is complying with the EU's new digital rules during the Israel-Hamas war. That letter, which essentially served as a warning, was not legally binding — the latest one, however, is.
"X is proportionately and effectively assessing and addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis," Yaccarino said in a letter to European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the 27-nation bloc's digital enforcer.
But some say the efforts are not nearly enough to tackle the problem.
"While these actions are better than nothing, it is not enough to curtail the misinformation problem on X," said Kolina Koltai, a researcher at the investigative collective Bellingcat who previously worked at Twitter on Community Notes.
"There is an overwhelming amount of misinformation on the platform," Koltai said. "From what we have seen, the moderation efforts from X are only addressing a drop in the bucket."
Since the war erupted, photos and videos have flooded social media of the carnage, including haunting footage of Hamas fighters taking terrified Israelis hostage, alongside posts from users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events.
The conflict is one of the first major tests for the EU's groundbreaking digital rules, which took effect in August. Breton fired off a similar letter Thursday to TikTok, telling CEO Shou Zi Chew that he has a "particular obligation" to protect child and teen users from "violent content depicting hostage taking and other graphic videos" reportedly making the rounds on the video sharing app.
For X, changes that Musk has made to the platform since he bought it last year mean accounts that subscribe to X's blue-check service can get paid if their posts go viral, creating a financial incentive to post whatever gets the most reaction. Plus, X's workforce — including its content moderation team — has been gutted.
Those changes are running up against the EU's Digital Services Act, which forces social media companies to step up policing of their platforms for illegal content, such as terrorist material or illegal hate speech, under threat of hefty fines.
"There is no place on X for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real time, including proactive efforts," Yaccarino wrote in the letter posted to X.
X has taken action to "remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content," Yaccarino said, pointing out that there are 700 unique Community Notes — a feature that allows users to add their own fact-checks to posts — "related to the attacks and unfolding events."
The platform has been "responding promptly" and in a "diligent and objective manner" to takedown requests from law enforcement agencies from around the world, including more than 80 from EU member states, Yaccarino said.
Koltai, the researcher and former Twitter employee, said Community Notes are not an "end-all solution to curtailing misinfo" and that there are gaps that the feature just can't fill yet.
"There are still many videos and photos on X that don't have notes that are unmoderated, and continue to spread misleading claims," she said.
Since Musk acquired Twitter and renamed it, social-media watchers say the platform has become not just unreliable but actively promotes falsehoods, while a study commissioned by the EU found that it's the worst-performing platform for online disinformation.
Rivals such as TikTok, YouTube and Facebook also are coping with a flood of unsubstantiated rumors and falsehoods about the Middle Eastern conflict, playing the typical whack-a-mole that erupts each time a news event captures world attention.
Breton, the EU official, urged TikTok's leader to step up its efforts at tackling disinformation and illegal content and respond within 24 hours. The company did not reply immediately to an email seeking comment.
Breton's warning letters have also gone to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta.
AP Technology Writer Barbara Ortutay in Oakland, California, contributed to this report.

U.S. primary insurance giant Liberty Mutual has returned to the capital markets to boost its reinsurance at mid-year, with the issuance and sale to investors of a $278 million series of notes from its Bermuda segregated accounts reinsurance sidecar vehicle, Limestone Re Ltd.
This is the second time that Liberty Mutual has tapped the capital markets directly using the firm's Limestone Re Ltd. collateralized reinsurance sidecar vehicle.
Liberty Mutual first utilised Limestone Re in December 2016, when the firm secured a $160 million source of collateralized reinsurance in the first issuance from its new Limestone Capital Markets platform.
That issuance ran on-risk throughout the catastrophe heavy year of 2017 and while it was rumoured that the Limestone Re sidecar could have been exhausted by Liberty's losses from the hurricanes and other events, we've yet to see any confirmation of the fate of the 2016 Limestone Re notes.
Whatever happened in 2017, investors were clearly not deterred and Liberty Mutual has now come back to the capital markets for a mid-year Limestone Re issuance, to top up its collateralized sources of reinsurance capital.
This mid-year issuance is significantly larger as well, with Limestone Re Ltd. issuing $278 million of 2018-1 Class A notes from a segregated account, which were then placed with institutional investors and ILS funds, we understand.
We assume that the portfolio covered by this Limestone Re issuance is again a mix of Liberty Mutual's business from its U.S. property catastrophe, U.S. homeowners and London Market specialty insurance operations.
The $278 million of Limestone Re 2018-1 sidecar notes have an expected maturity date of March 1st 2022, meaning they provide Liberty Mutual with reinsurance cover that runs across more than three years.
It appears that Liberty Mutual is using the Limestone Re and Limestone Capital Markets platforms as a type of replacement for catastrophe bonds, having not issued a cat bond since 2012, giving it a vehicle to access the capital markets for reinsurance on its own terms, but while maintaining some alignment with investors as well.
Limestone Re gives Liberty Mutual a way to leverage efficient third-party capital from institutional investors within its underwriting business, both to benefit from the reinsurance coverage but also, and perhaps more importantly, to augment its own capacity by using low-cost capital market financing.
Liberty's use of Limestone is also an example of primary insurers bringing the capital markets more directly into their businesses, having greater control over the use of third-party reinsurance capital and aligning itself with the investors backing the transaction.

Marijuana might not be the new beer, but Trudeau could cast off the taboo
Ministers refrain from mentioning 'marijuana' while looking ahead to its legalization
In the days leading up to Thursday's potentially momentous tabling of legislation to legalize marijuana, there was concern on Parliament Hill about the availability and affordability of alcohol.
With a rallying cry of "Free the beer," Conservative MP John Barlow tabled a bill on Tuesday that would facilitate the sale and transport of alcohol across provincial borders.
Meanwhile, interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose continued to pester the prime minister about his government's decision to increase taxes on beer and wine: five cents more for a two-four and a penny on a litre of Chardonnay.
- Liberals table bills to legalize pot, clamp down on impaired driving
- Read the proposed Cannabis Act bill
That increase, alongside a tax change that covers ride-sharing services and the elimination of the public transit tax credit, caused Ambrose to declare that Trudeau was mounting an attack on Canadians' Saturday nights.
But with the tabling of the Cannabis Act on Thursday, there was decidedly less enthusiasm for legally permitted inebriation.
"Justin Trudeau said he wants to keep pot out of the hands of our kids," said Colin Carrie, the Conservative health critic, "but for this legislation, it was a promise to pot smokers, not to parents."
Parents and pot smokers are apparently distinct and separate groups that do not overlap.
Beer, of course, is a source of Canadian patriotism; if not for beer commercials we might have little sense of ourselves.
Marijuana might never enjoy such exalted status. But if the Trudeau government can get this anywhere close to right, there might come a day when MPs — even Conservative MPs — feel comfortable acknowledging its general consumption.
The drug that dare not speak its name
In fairness to Carrie, not even the Liberals were in a particularly festive mood.
Over the course of a 43-minute news conference, not a single reference to "marijuana" was uttered by any of the four ministers and one parliamentary secretary who were lined up to explain the situation to reporters.
This, rather, was about "cannabis," and making it harder for the country's youth to acquire it, while undercutting the ability of organized crime to profit from the illegal sale of it.
"This is a very important day," said Bill Blair, the former Toronto police chief, whom the Liberals cannily selected to front this campaign commitment.
"I've spent most of my adult life protecting children and keeping communities safe. And from experience, I know the use of cannabis among our young people is among the highest in the world. I believe that we have to do a better job of protecting our kids."
The ministers to Blair's right then took turns explaining the various restrictions and punishments that would be legislated into existence, including new penalties for selling to a minor and new screening for impaired driving.
"I want to be very clear, it is not our intent to promote the use of this drug," said Blair, who seems certain to have busted up more parties than he has ever participated in. "We want to permit through legalization, and strict regulation, more healthful, safer and socially responsible use."
How Trudeau embraced the politics of pot
In truth, the government's argument now is basically in line with the logic Trudeau offered four years ago when the Liberal leader, sporting long hair and wearing a T-shirt while taking questions from the public in a park in B.C., stated his support for legalization.
A month later, he admitted to having smoked marijuana since being elected. For that, he was accused of setting a bad example for Canada's children.
The Liberal Party was actually ahead of him on the issue, having adopted a resolution in favour of legalization in 2012. But it was the first of several positions that would help cast Trudeau as slightly more bold and daring than usual.
Not, in the case of marijuana, because he was offering a new approach to law enforcement. But because he was embracing a potentially risky position and implicitly casting off a social taboo. The general impression might have been that a fresh new leader was offering generational change.
Could weed be the new beer?
A year and a half into his turn as prime minister, marijuana looms as a significant test of his government's ability to implement policy and responsibly manage the country, with great risk that any unflattering side-effects (say, hordes of stoned teenagers roaming the streets) could scare the sort of suburban parents who decide elections
Even if the worst fears of those parents aren't realized, there are bound to be complications and concerns. This being Canada, many of the details will have to be worked out between the federal government and the provinces. Marijuana has been prohibited for nearly a century and change is never easy.
But it was 119 years ago that a national plebiscite found majority support for the prohibition of alcohol. Wilfrid Laurier's government didn't follow suit because Quebecers had voted against it, but various provinces later went for temporary temperance. And Prince Edward Island only got around to repealing its ban in 1948.
In 2017, there is at least no shame in being on the side of those who choose to imbibe.
Trudeau's government might have just put Canada on a path toward at least grudging acceptance of those who toke.

Whether you're a water treatment dealer, distributor or a manufacturer, your company website will one day likely become the hub of your integrated marketing program. Maybe sooner than you think.
To get the most out of your website, without spending a bundle on banner ads, it pays to look into the world of free reciprocal links to other websites that make sense to you. While search engines are one proven way to generate traffic to websites, their reach is international. For dealers or distributors who sell in a local region, reciprocal links to other websites can be better targeted to their needs. How do you trade links? How do you select and approach likely trade link partners? Would you like to improve your rank on some search engines? You need to develop a strategy.
Not without risks
As in the print world, there are a variety of advertising and web promotion techniques available to you. Linking to other websites is a well-known but little used tool that can produce significant traffic for your website as long as it's done properly.
Link popularity is becoming an increasingly important criterion for better search engine ranking. The better your popularity, the better your ranking. You may be thinking you'll lose traffic to your website if you link to other websites. Sure, that can and will happen; but you should gain as many or more new visitors, ones that would not have otherwise visited your site.
Understanding how to link to other sites is as important as any advertising you do. The time and energy you put into developing links to your business can pay off for weeks, months, even years to come!
Reciprocal advantages
Know what you want to accomplish. Decide what primary category your website will fit into and what secondary or peripheral sites will complement it. Once you've decided your focus, you'll be well on your way to using reciprocal linking strategies successfully.
Maybe you want to trade web-generated sales leads with a non-competitive home improvement company in your market area? Then propose a reciprocal interlink between your two sites. You'll both benefit from the arrangement, without hurting each other.
Do you want to offer valuable consumer product information from recognized third-party certification bodies? Then link with the websites of water treatment and bottled water associations, perhaps giving preference to ones with which you're already affiliated. By doing so, you'll benefit from the "borrowed credibility" factor that only independent associations and certification bodies can offer.
Staying in the water
Focus on industry-related services. Experts agree you need to focus on websites that relate to "third-party water treatment information" or at least "non-competitive home improvement" resources. But you also need to "avoid linking with broad-based websites" that might only clutter-up your website. I'm talking about avoiding links with sites that provide general news, weather and sports. There are plenty of powerful "portal" sites (such as Yahoo to name one) that provide information of broader interest. Linking with them, however, flies in the face of current web user research that shows most people who visit a business site are "destination driven." That is, they're there for a specific purpose—to evaluate your business' potential for selling, installing and servicing water improvement products or bottled water. Why tempt them to impulsively vacate your site to check the score of their favorite pro sports team or a stock market update? (They may forget to return to your site.)
While it's true the World Wide Web reaches people all over the globe and people who use it have many diverse interests, you only want to address people located in your geographic marketing area who are shopping for water-related products. Dealers and distributors may help their cause by linking with primary original equipment manufacturer (OEM) websites, to offer visitors additional in-depth product information. But use caution before you "link" because those same manufacturers' sites might contain "dealer locator" sections that can make it easy for website visitors to price shop other dealers in your area who sell the same equipment. Do you want to risk handing your prospects a shopping list containing the names of primary competitors? (This could encourage undercutting your prices.)
Also be careful about linking with the websites of charities, religious or political organizations. That's not to say don't do it, but evaluate them closely. Some are sure to be controversial, if not offensive to some visitors. Avoid unnecessary turn-offs.
Narrow the field
Develop a list of primary and secondary websites to target. The purpose of this list is to rank the possible link websites you feel will be of most benefit to your business. The first six you list should be the "most important," or perhaps the "least risky." These are your primary "website link targets." The remaining sites on your list will be ones that might deliver more trouble than sales prospects. Contact these only if some of your primary sites turn down your request to link.
When assembling this list, it's important to judge each site on its ability to help you achieve your objectives as aforementioned.
Ready-made prospects
Discover who's already linking to your website. You can find out very quickly by going online to www.linkpopularity.com. This is a free resource and usually it doesn't take more than 2-3 minutes to check your website links. You may find that you have several links back to you that you didn't know about, some you like and maybe one or two that you would rather not have. Another thing you might want to do to help narrow your focus on potential web-link partners is to view a comparison of your site's link popularity to your competitors' and other popular websites at www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/
Establish a framework
Before you start contacting webmasters, you should set up your Main Links page on your website. On this page you are going to describe how a webmaster can add their link to your Links Page. You can title this Favorite Links, Personal Links or something similar. That's to let visitors know you have a Quality Links Page available.
You need to give careful thought to how you want this organized and presented. Your Main Links Page should have several categories from which visitors can choose. Each category should link to a separate page on your site where the category links can be viewed. Remember to set each link so that it "opens in a new window" when a visitor clicks on it, so they won't leave your site altogether and forget to come back.
On this page you'll invite your visitors to "apply for the privilege of linking" to you. Why should they have to apply? Because you want to screen their website to be sure it doesn't directly compete with yours and that it also complements yours in some way.
You also want to indicate to your visitors that a reciprocal link back from their website is a requirement for obtaining a link on your web page. Those who are serious about reciprocal linking will understand and be willing to place a link on their page.
Making the link
It's time to contact some webmasters. Start with your primary list of six link-partner prospects; ones that you feel would best complement your site. If you feel you might have overlooked some good candidates, the simplest way to come up with a larger list is to go to one of the major search engines. Enter a phrase that describes compatible websites (e.g., "water associations") and let the search engine bring up a list.
Next, send a short email to the webmaster, introducing yourself and stating why you think a reciprocal web link program would make sense for both parties. The resulting dialogue will soon determine if there is, indeed, mutual interest in linking your sites.
Do you need permission before adding their site to your Quality Links page? Not technically, but it's recommended you immediately email the site's webmaster to inform them. In the same email, respectfully request that they link back to your website. Some will choose to link back. Some won't. If they won't, you have the option of deleting your link to their site.
Implementing a reciprocal linking strategy takes time and effort—and isn't without risks. But as part of your integrated marketing strategy, it can be a powerful way for you to develop relevant, targeted traffic to your web pages as well as to help improve your website's overall position in the search engines. Perhaps it's free, requiring only your careful effort.

Employee Stock Ownership Plans, or ESOPs, have been used as succession planning tools for family-owned businesses for 40 years.
However, not all business owners or their attorneys, accountants or other advisors are familiar with the advantages an ESOP offers to a family-owned corporation and its shareholders. To test your ESOP IQ, let's take a little quiz:
1. Can a shareholder of a closely held corporation sell some or all of his or her stock to an ESOP at fair market value without incurring current federal or state income tax on the realized gain?
2. Can an ESOP give shareholders in a closely held corporation a ready market for sale of some, or all, of their stock?
3. Can a company effectively buy out some or all of its shareholders using fully tax deductible dollars?
4. Can an ESOP motivate employees of a closely held company to deliver their best performance for the company, thereby maximizing the company's profits and the value of their investment in the company?
5. Can current federal income tax be avoided on income of an S corporation to the extent stock in the corporation is owned by an ESOP?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, you may want to brush up on the advantages of ESOPs to closely held corporations and their shareholders.
What is an ESOP?
An ESOP is a qualified retirement plan, similar in structure to a 401(k) or profit-sharing plan with respect to the general rules concerning eligibility to participate, vesting and non-discrimination.
Each ESOP participant has an account that accumulates benefits to be paid at retirement or other termination of employment. However, unlike other retirement plans, an ESOP is designed to invest primarily in stock of the sponsoring employer and many ESOPs only own employer stock.
Also, an ESOP is able to borrow funds to purchase stock of the employer. This "leveraging" capability leads to many creative uses unique to ESOPs. Congress has also provided several major tax incentives to encourage the creation of ESOPs, including:
Fully deductible loan repayments. Employer contributions to the ESOP are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. The contributions may be used by the ESOP to repay a loan. Thus, tax deductions are available for payment of loan principal as well as interest. That means an ESOP purchase of a shareholder's stock is much more tax efficient than a redemption of the shares by the corporation or the purchase by another shareholder.
Avoidance of capital gains tax on sale of stock. An owner who sells stock of a closely held C corporation to an ESOP may defer, or completely avoid, income tax on the realized gain if 1) immediately after the sale, the ESOP owns at least 30 percent of the corporation's outstanding stock, and 2) within 12 months the sale proceeds are reinvested in securities issued by other U.S. operating corporations ("qualified replacement property").
The individual's basis in the employer stock carries over to the qualified replacement property. Upon selling the qualified replacement property, the owner will incur federal and state income tax on the excess of the net sale proceeds over his or her basis in the property. But if the owner holds the qualified replacement property until death, then the owner's beneficiaries or heirs will take the property at a basis equal to its fair market value on the date of the owner's death (or an optional date six months later), forever avoiding income tax on pre-death appreciation in the property.
Cash dividends paid on ESOP stock are deductible. A C corporation may deduct for income tax purposes cash dividends that it contributes to an ESOP. The ESOP can allocate the dividend to participant accounts, pay the dividend directly to participants, or use it to pay an ESOP loan.
Reduction or elimination of corporate income tax. An ESOP may own stock in an S corporation, and to the extent it does, the income of the S corporation is attributed to the ESOP, which is a tax-exempt trust that does not pay income tax. That means a 100 percent ESOP-owned S corporation is able to completely avoid income taxation. Also, the unrelated business taxable income rules do not apply to S corporation stock owned by an ESOP.
Using an ESOP in tax planning
Ownership succession planning is critically important in a family-owned business. What will happen to the company when the family members who are actively running the business retire or die? Are other family members active in the business and can they afford to buy it? How does the senior generation divide its estate fairly when some family members are active in the business but others are not? Are key employees willing and able to purchase the company? Is a sale to an outsider feasible and desirable? What are the tax consequences of a sale? What is the impact of a sale on the company's employees, culture and future?
In reviewing these issues, the use of an ESOP should always be considered. An ESOP may be the ideal solution for the corporation and its shareholders.
Family business owners and their advisors should review the advantages of an ESOP with succession-minded shareholders of a family-owned business to determine whether an ESOP is advisable for them.

This year's Fashion Icon, Lady Gaga, was at the Standard Hotel's Boom Boom Room doing her Gaga thing with gusto (in a sheer bodysuit with studs along the butt, as you would). She also certainly had her signature CFDA Awards pose down, baring her long, pointy, red manicured claws in nearly every photo op with her fellow attendees — no doubt growling a big "Raaaw" for the cameras too. In the slideshow, see her clawing invisible things while posing with Prabal Gurung, Phoebe Philo, and Haider Ackermann among others.

On one hand: elation over an inexplicable 3-0 start, beating three consecutive playoff teams. On the other: worries that the Sixers were too good, beating teams they shouldn't be beating if they wanted to finish with the worst record in the lead.
On one hand: hysterical laughter and ownership and defense of a totally legitimate NBA heavyweight championship belt. On the other: the exact opposite of all those things.
On one hand: #TeamChill. On the other #TeamPanic.
One thing both sides agreed upon, though, was on Michael Carter-Williams. That looked like a good draft pick by Sam Hinkie, and while his play would crater and recover later in the season, his cold open versus the Heat served as his greatest work, one which sparked a likely ROY campaign season and convinced enough people that yes, he might be a cornerstone of this franchise.
For today though, let's remember his, and our, best night of the season.
The Sixers scored 19 in a row to open the game against the Heat. The Heat! The HEAT!! How the heck did this happen? A predictably energy-less Heat team, coming off a victory the night before and immediately traveling to Philadelphia for a game against a team with the lowest over/under EVER set by a Vegas casino, would not wake up until MCW, Turner, and Hawes combined for those 19 points. Sloppy passes, lazy shooting, no Dwyane Wade, too much Roger Mason and James Jones, it was all there set up to make the Sixers get off to a good start.
But 19 in a row? 23-2 lead to start? I mean, what?
Keying that run were 3 steals from MCW, who eventually had a season-high of 9 during the game. 9 steals is not a realistic total for an NBA point guard for basically any game. MCW did this in his debut. His first came on the team's first defensive possession, and it was quite memorable. Off a bad pass from Miami, MCW hustled to beat a 1-on-2, unleashing a dunk for the first points of his career and the game.
I will probably always remember that dunk. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was iconic, but it's very memorable.
Long arms, and sloppy passing, gave MCW numerous open court opportunities. That kind of highlighted what to me was a surprising defensive season. MCW struggled against physical opponents - having a slender frame, light with long arms, had both its advantages and disadvantages. So did his time playing in Syracuse's 2-3 Zone, which allowed for lane jumping but discouraged one-on-one defense and its principles.
But it worked against the Heat on opening night! MCW had a relatively easy defensive assignment in Mario Chalmers, one who wouldn't command the offense, allowing MCW to gamble off the ball and jump into passing lanes for easy opportunities. The video above isn't a great example, as the steal occurred more due to a bad dish from Roger Mason than it did from MCW's roaming. Forcing live-ball turnovers, though, keyed his great outing and was largely responsible for the Sixers winning. Along with, you know, everything else.
Despite jumping out to a large lead, Miami ended up leading by as much as 8 in the third quarter. The Heat are a great team, and the Sixers would prove to be a terrible one. But not that night! The Sixers came back through the efforts of the same three players that keyed the hot start: Turner, Hawes, and MCW. Two players who would prove not to be part of this team's core, and perhaps the only player who would show this through the rest of the season, led the way both to start and end the affair.
The Heat, like many other teams this year, had some difficulty defending the MCW-Hawes pick-and-roll. Part of the reason Carter-Williams struggled in the middle of the year was the decline in play and eventual trade of Hawes. Hawes, as he did against Miami, provided unconventional spacing and cleared the paint for MCW to make plays, even as he steadfastly refused to make contact on picks. Between one of Turner's strong performances and the Sixers' pet pick-and-do-whatever plays, they staged an unlikely comeback.
Down 4 with about two minutes left to play, MCW ran a pick play with Hawes, leading to an open elbow three. Hawes knocked it down. Hawes from above the break this year was one of the best shooters in the league, largely from passes coming from Carter-Williams. Then after a steal, Hawes converted a fast break layup (no, I don't know how either) giving the Sixers the lead. They wouldn't relinquish it.
The Sixers would follow this most unlikely win with two more: games against Washington and Chicago, who are currently beating the tar out of each other in the first round of the playoffs. MCW was mostly subdued against the Wizards, but he had another dominant performance against Chicago. I had the recap for that one, and I remember it well.
The Bulls forced MCW to shoot off the dribble as often as they could, and would rather have the point guard outscore them himself than get other people involved. His shooting wasn't as efficient, but his performance seemed almost as impactful, if not more, than it was against the Heat. He hit a variety of floaters and finished against contact, things he would sometimes struggle with as the season moved along.
Start Talking, Sam
Start Talking, Sam
The differences between MCW's strong and weak games were plainly obvious to those who watched. Performances like these, and his strong stretch of games to end the season, give us hope he can perform at a high level more frequently in the future.
But for now, let's relish in the fact that we had an exciting, unpredictable, and unexpected 3-0 start to a season filled with losing. And let's not feel guilty either - even if we lost all 3, we'd still have been ahead of the Bucks. That Hawes shot, though...
Well, you'll have to wait to hear about that later this week.

And so, perhaps, it's time to dub our June reads as ideal for reading in an air-conditioned room somewhere, or perhaps situated by a breezy outdoor spot. These books cover a lot of ground, from haunting memoirs to phantasmagorical fiction, as befits a time of constant change.

Four Tusk Mastodon (2005 Archives)
Four Tusk Mastodon
(Lone Star)
Very impressive, it is huge
Both tusks still in lower jaws
Joe Taylor and his staff have been working on this amazing piece for over a year. "I have spent nearly six months on it myself, Taylor said." What's taking so long? "The skull is huge, as far as we know the largest found yet. It is certainly the largest from Texas and the only one that has even been available."
When Taylor recovered it from a workshop floor in San Antonio, it was resting upside down on its face and was so heavy that it was flattening the huge truck tire under it. "Just getting it into my truck to bring it home was heart-stopping. Then the whole trip back to the museum was during a snowstorm. It took me a long time just to figure out how to turn the beast's skull over to an upright position so we could see the face and work on it. A huge contraption was attached to it and it rolled over without even a chip."
Removing the matrix from it has taken a year. Some areas of the calcium cemented sand and gravel were as hard as granite. In many places, using a pencil-sized jackhammer called a Chicago pneumatic, it would take all day to remove an area the size of an orange. The bone is mostly replaced but it is softer than the rock around it making the work all the more tedious.
In order to mount the skull and jaws they first had to be molded. This had to be done in place and restoration of parts underneath had to be done working on it upside down. The jaws alone are so heavy that it takes two men to lift one side. The metal work for the base and jaws was done using a cast of them.
"You only get one chance when moving this thing, said Taylor, so every possible problem has to be fully solved beforehand." When finished, he estimates the skull and jaws will weigh as much as 700 lbs. Huge mammoth skulls from Alaska only weigh a few hundred pounds.
"We finally got the tusks set on it this week (May-24-05). That was no easy job. And when we turn it right side up again on its permanent base, they may have to be adjusted. This will take several more days to do, but there is no other way Taylor explained."
Joe spent five months in 1995 restoring and molding the famous Burning Tree Mastodon from Ohio and has just finished the big Wapple Bope mastodon dig in Indiana.
"This big 4-tusker is different in many respects from the Burning Tree. I think there's a possibility that they were separate species, Taylor speculates."

Running a business has never been easier, thanks to the internet and all our gadgets that connect to it. Smartphones are quickly becoming the computers of our time, and it's no wonder that businessmen and women are finding ways to use them to streamline their businesses. Web hosting companies are even aligning their business models to meet the critical needs of mobile users. How can you make this trend work for you and your business?
How Your Smartphone Can Change the Face of Your Business
Some of the top hosting companies, like GoDaddy, iPage, and Bluehost, have created mobile web hosting and website building platforms in the past few years, which shows how the face of the internet is changing. Currently, the average person spends about 3 hours and 15 minutes each day on a mobile device. Over the past four years, people have spent more time on mobile devices and less time watching TV, listening to the radio, and browsing the internet on a computer.
This is due, in part, to people in business who use their mobile devices to increase business productivity more than they could while sitting at their work desks. The beauty of going mobile is that it goes everywhere with you, from your home to your next business trip. There's an app for just about everything these days, from hourly time trackers to electronic planners to cloud file storage, so there's virtually nothing you can't do to help grow and maintain your business via your phone.
Using Mobile Hosting the Right Way
A mobile web host meets both your needs and the needs of your customers who use mobile devices. You can build and operate your website from your smartphone while your mobile host creates a perfectly optimized and responsive mobile website for your customers. The traditional method of creating websites with a regular web host still works, but it's up to you to find a theme that looks great and works seamlessly on mobile devices.
With mobile web hosting, the need to optimize your website for mobile is already taken care of. The right host will automatically tweak your site to meet the needs of the individual user, depending on the device he or she uses. You'll benefit from a streamlined hosting experience that you can operate from your device, as your customers take advantage of an optimized website that works perfectly on their devices.
