|Condition or disease
|Myocardial Reperfusion Injury
|Procedure: Remote ischemic postconditioning Procedure: Control group
|Not Applicable
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has taken on an important role in the treatment of ischemic heart disease in recent years. However, the beneficial effects of revascularization are partly shadowed by post-reperfusion injury, which accounts for up to half the size of the reperfused myocardial infarct. Several drugs and procedures exist that might protect against this phenomenon. One of the most controversial of these strategies, which has shown promising results in experimental animal models, is remote ischemic post-conditioning. This involves inducing ischemia at a site remote from the heart after an ischemic coronary lesion to reduce the resulting myocardial infarct size.
The myocardial damage produced by ischemia-reperfusion associated with PCI is a known short- and long-term prognostic factor, and is associated with a greater risk of death, myocardial infarction and revascularization during the follow-up.
Our aim is to assess the phenomenon of remote ischemic post-conditioning in patients undergoing PCI, in whom the acute insult on the myocardium is determined by the angioplasty itself. Additionally, we aim to evaluate this phenomenon in a subgroup of diabetic patients, among whom the effectiveness of protective measures against post-reperfusion damage is more questioned.
We have designed a randomized, single-blinded interventional study involving 320 patients (40% diabetics) who are to undergo elective PCI. At the end of the angioplasty procedure, the patients assigned to remote ischemic post-conditioning will undergo three 5-minute cycles of ischemia using a blood-pressure cuff at 200 mmHg, placed on the non-dominant arm, interrupted twice for 5 minutes with the cuff deflated. In the control group the procedure will be limited to placing a deflated blood-pressure cuff (pressure: 0 mmHg) for 25 minutes.
The infarct size will be analyzed from an enzyme curve of troponin I and CK-MB values 0, 8, 16 and 24 hours after the procedure (primary endpoint). Measurements will also be taken of pH and lactate in the baseline sample (0 hours) and at 8 hours, and ultrasensitive C-reactive protein at 0 and 24 hours as a contrasted marker of inflammation in ischemic heart disease.
The follow-up, planned for one year, will seek to determine clinically interesting variables (secondary endpoint), such as readmission due to acute coronary syndrome, heart failure or major arrhythmic events and overall and cardiovascular mortality.

Pentagon: Russian Fighter Conducted 'Unsafe' Intercept of U.S. Recon Plane Over Black Sea
The statement indicated the U.S. is "looking into this particular incident."
The fighter came close and its thrust "disturbed the controllability" of the U.S. surveillance aircraft.
The intercept of the RC-135U – designed to record radar emissions from potential adversaries to develop countermeasures — is the latest of a string of incidents between NATO and Russian forces since Russia seized control of the Crimean region of Ukraine in 2014.
The incident is the latest in a string of intercepts since over the last two years that the Pentagon has deemed unsafe.
The Pentagon has labeled several intercepts of variants of the RC-135 surveillance planes over the Baltic, Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean at the edge of Russian controlled airspace as "unprofessional" and "provocative."
In 2014 a Russian Sukhoi SU-24 Fencer made repeated passes over USSDonald Cook (DDG-75), a ballistic missile destroyer, while it was conducting operations in the Black Sea.
Later that year, the Canadian frigate HMCS Toronto was buzzed by Fencers operating in the Black Sea.
Russian officials have complained of the uptick in U.S. surveillance flights since 2014.
"US RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft carry out flights almost daily," Col. Gen. Viktor Bondarev, commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force, said in late 2014.
"In 2014, more than 140 RC-135 flights have taken place compared to 22 flights in 2013."

Kabirou was one of the first patients that we met here at the hospital. I think we met him the second or third day we were in Niger, almost 9 months ago. He came to CURE because his foot was totally deformed. When he was 4 years old he injured his foot on a rock, and wasn't able to walk on it normally, so he started walking on the outside of his foot. At first he did this because of the pain. But he did this for such a long time that eventually he couldn't walk on the bottom of his foot, and his foot was permanently deformed.
He walked on the side of his foot for years. Now he is now 16 years old. His family heard about the CURE hospital, so his Mom brought him in. She was told that Kabirou could be treated, that his foot could be corrected through surgery. She was glad to hear that, but also worried about the cost. She was willing to pay what she could, but she is divorced, and sells fruit and vegetables on the side of the road, so she didn't have much money. In the end she paid a little, but the hospital took on the bulk of the expense. Kabirou had the operation on his foot, and both he and his Mom were really happy.
But that wasn't the end of the story. The recovery took a long time, and then he spent a few months with a cast on his foot. He walked around on crutches for a long time. After the cast came off, he did months of physical therapy. It was painful and progress was slow. I would see him every week when he came in for his physical therapy and ask how he was doing. He always said, "Fine," but you could tell he was starting to wonder, "Is this ever going to end?" 9 months is a long time. But just last week he came to the hospital and was really excited. He was walking on his own, without crutches! He went around and said hi to everyone at the hospital, the doctors, the nurses, everyone. He went and visited every office in the administrative wing. He wanted to make sure that everyone saw him walking on his own. The whole time he never stopped smiling. It was great.
It is hard to believe that Kabirou has been recovering from his operation, and dealing with this problem the whole time we have been here (not to mention the 12 years before his operation). Healing takes time. Sometimes a lot of time. But for Kabirou, it was definitely worth it. The change in his foot was so dramatic, and now he can walk on his own. He still limps a bit, but that will improve with time. Nothing like before. It is amazing to see the transformation in him, and to see the good attitude he has had throughout the process. Here are some before and after pictures:

Home healthcare has steadily become more and more a prominent part of our lives. And the reason for this is actually a positive one. People are living longer. And while this is great there is now an elevated need to care for the elderly in our society. This can place a good deal of pressure on a family but there are plenty of resources out there to help. This page is one such resource. First, let's outline those most in need of home healthcare:
If this fits the description of someone in your family there's a good chance you or someone close to you will have to begin the process of contracting an appropriate healthcare company. This is the main focus of this page, helping families ease into the selection process. To begin, let's start off with some vital questions to ask the agencies you interview:
While asking questions of the different healthcare agencies you'll be seeing is important that isn't the only thing you'll be doing. Make sure you ask each company for references and then check up on these references and make sure they're genuine. Also remember to use all of the tools at your disposal, particularly the internet. Just make sure you do your research. You're entering into an important and intimate relationship with this company so it's important that you're sure of it before it begins.

For finite parameter spaces under finite loss, every Bayes procedure derived from a prior with full support is admissible, and every admissible procedure is Bayes. This relationship already breaks down once we move to finite-dimensional Euclidean parameter spaces. Compactness and strong regularity conditions suffice to repair the relationship, but without these conditions, admissible procedures...

text: We trained in the morning at 9am and did a long 45-minute circuit where we had 10 stations across the pitch. Some were sprinting circuits, some ¾ pace and others walking and backwards running. It was very hard running as we had a game the day before. We had an ice bath after training, which was not nice, and then we had the rest of the day off to relax and sleep. All the other students moved in today so the dorms were packed. We just chilled round at one of the lad's houses and watched the football on TV. It's nowhere near as good as watching it in England because they have American commentators, there's no Andy Gray and Martin Tyler over here!

Been asked to pen my thoughts on Wimbledon.
A recent tweet of mine sums it up in less than 140 characters:
@MrJimmyCorkhill: #ThingsIdRatherDoThanWatchWimbledon be Joseph Fritzl's daughter
But I shall now, of course, divulge as to why I'd rather be abducted and locked in a dingy cellar for a decade getting back-ended by crazy Austrian who happens to be my dad, than watch said tennis tournament.
Reason 1: Andy Murray
What a miserable, miserable, miserable twat this lad is. He's got all the money in the world, he could have any hot slag he wants given his fame and fortune, and yeh he's pretty decent at hitting little yellow balls with a racquet too. So why why why does he look like he owned 50 pet cats that he loved and cherished, and they all just died on the same day of a freak strain of Feline Aids?
Cheer. The. Fuck . Up. Gizza smile lad.
Has anyone ever seen him smile? Ever? If he wins does he smile then? Or just he just grimace like he's shitting out a spiced pineapple?
Reason 2 : Andy Murray's Mum
Ah maybe this is why soft lad doesn't smile. Imaging having Andy Murray's mum as your Ma. Bloody hell. I can't decide if she's a lezza, or if she really needs a good seeing to. Or both.
And imagine your mum rocking up at everything and shouting you on like that ... Do you see Stevie G's Ma in the dug out at Anfield going "Eeeeeyaaa Stevie Lad .. Go 'ed there laddd... G'waaan son"
No. No you do not.
The only football player's mum who gets involved in the footy scene is John Terry's Ma. Who, as the excellent rumour that we all like to consider fact goes, got shagged by Carragher's cousin during Euro 08. Belter that. #JohnTerrysMaLovesScouseCock
Reason 3: Ball boys
Seen a belter tweet from @ScouseAmbassador yesterday saying that Wimbledon balls boys are all bad victims who got bullied at school and bummed by a choir master. How true. Possibly the most true tweet I've ever seen.
Absolute bad quegs the lot of them.
Its nailed on that they are all called Tarquin, Phillipe, Oscar, Rupert (Rupes to his chums) and William. I challenge anyone who reads this to find me a ball boy who is called Dave. Go on. Find me a ball boy called DAVE and I will blog a photo of me with my bare arse out, cheeks spread, doing a Lauren Goodger style trout pout, finger on lips... and I will put a tennis ball up my foreskin for good measure.

Find me a ball boy called DAVE and I will blog a photo of me with my bare arse out, cheeks spread, doing a Lauren Goodger style trout pout, finger on lips... and I will put a tennis ball up my foreskin for good measure.
Seen how they are on best behaviour all the time, crouch perfectly, stand to attention like soldiers, dead quick with everything, hand fresh towels out like sweets... and have all got the gayest run ever... Makes me cringe so hard my testicles invert. Get on the ball boys at the match for some tips, we've had some crackers in the Premiership over the years. Stroll round like they're not arsed, they get the ball when they want. Do they give it back in a rush when Utd are attacking in the 90th minute- do they fuck. Is right lads.
Reason 4: The crowd
Another bunch of Tarquins, Phillipes, Oscars, Rupert s and Williams, with some Hermiones, Jermimas, Elizabeths, Margarets and Trixibelles thrown in. Sat there with their cucumber butties and strawberries and cream. Actual cream. Not that squirty stuff from The Asda. Actually runny cream. Posh fuckers.
And their Robinsons Lemon Fruit & Barley.... in a flask. Fucking fuck off.
Sitting there Instagramming photos of themselves and tweeting hash tags like #TotesWimbledonYaaah , before switching from iPhone to their Blackberries to just check up on their work emails.
And there is obviously too much sugar in all them strawberries and fruit & barley and it goes to their heads and they actually start getting excited at what's going on in front of them:
"Ooooh" ... "Aaaahh" .... "Ooooh" .... "Aaaaaah"
Are they messing? A bloke is hitting a yellow thing at another bloke. That bloke is hitting it back. Oh.. it hit the ground. Oh no. ????
And then you get them ones who actually SCREECH.. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk" all because the bloke who hit the ball at the other bloke ALMOST didn't hit it back when he got it hit back at him, but then he hit it back. Like, at the last second and that. Zzzzzzzzzz.
And this crowd sit there ALLLLL DAY. I get a numb arse in The Kop, if I don't stand up and bounce to Theeeeeeeeee Fieeeeeeeeelds of Anfieeeeeld Roooooooad every 15 mins. Can you imagine sitting there ALLLLLLL FUCKING DAY? In these denims? Norrrrapnin.
Reason 5 : People who can afford to pay £45k for a ticket for the men's final
Kind of carrying on from Reason 3.. these posh twats that pay a fortune to go and get a numb arse. Saw an article today that tickets are currently trading for up to £15,000 per ticket, up £3,000 since yesterday afternoon, and the price is predicted to reach £45k on the day.
Are they messing? Who in their right mind would pay £15k- 45k to watch a tennis match. Its on BBC for fuck's sake.
For that money, I'd expect a court to be built in my back garden, and the ENTIRE tournament to be played there. I'd expect champagne on tap, caviar butties, and them jam and cream scones and shit. I'd expect the balls to be made of a unique combination of a fairy's tears and a unicorn's pubes. And an oily wank off Cockovich, or whatever he's called, would be included.
But even then, I wouldn't watch it. I would be in my living room with the curtains shut.
All in all, it is quite simply, a terrible spectator sport. It really is.
Its just so .. uninvolved. You can't follow a team, you can't go at the weekend with your mates or take yer lad.. (Unless you're called Tarquin or Rupes etc and you lad is a queg)
And there is no drama in a game of tennis. None. No sending offs .. No fights.. No swearing at the ref...
Worst thing that can happen is a bloke will break a string on his racquet, or accidentally twat the ref with the ball and him fall off that funny perch. That would actually be a laugh that, I'd watch tennis if the aim of the game was twatting balls at the ref and knocking them their high chair - I vote Maggie Thatcher as first ref.
Yes you get the odd surprise, like when a shit guy beats a good guy and that.. but that's about it.
I'd quite honestly get more enjoyment out of watching Joey Barton sitting on the loo reading a dictionary.
Wimbledon in a nutshell: Its a CuntFest. And a BoreFest. And Venus Williams has got a cock.

A 43-year-old Burbank man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that he murdered the woman who was found dead in a parked car Friday at his parents' home.
The man, David Perry, faces five felony counts, including murder, spousal abuse, making criminal threats and animal cruelty, officials said. He also pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Perry was arrested Friday shortly after the body of Dorothy Jean McGuire, 37, of Sunland, was discovered in a parked car at his home in the 500 block of North Sparks Street in Burbank.

As promised here is the summary of how much my Pocketship has cost.
All amounts are in Canadian dollars and include taxes, shipping, exchange rate if shipped from the US, and duty if applicable.
Pocketship Plans $293.16
Okoume plywood (16 sheets) $1074.08
Epoxy resin and hardener $1506.23
Fiberglass cloth and tape $404.83
Cabosil, wood flour, microballoons $294.24
Subtotal of above $3572.54
Note: All of the above is available from CLC (Chesapeake Light Craft) as a Pocketship kit for $3350 US.
My estimate is that the kit with shipping, exchange, and taxes would have cost about $4940.
Teak cabin decking $305.32
Timber for stringers, companionway, tabernacle, cleats, rubrails etc. $760.55
(this includes using mahogany for the companionway)
Primer and paint for cabin interior $141
Interlux primer, Brightsides, Schooner varnish, VC Performance Epoxy
for hull, topsides, cockpit $595
Sailboat hardware (includes all sailing hardware, hull hardware, running rigging) $2568
CLC sells all of this in 3 kits for $2467 US which with shipping, exchange, and taxes would have cost me about $3496 CDN.
My hardware also includes brass deadlights, turnbuckles, gudgeon and pintles which is probably about a $300 upgrade from the CLC kits.
Sails ordered from CLC $1496.22
Saw blades, clamps, respirator, shop disposables (tons of sandpaper, foam rollers, brushes) $727
250 lbs lead wheel weights from tire shop $80
New tools ( jigsaw, power planer, orbital sander, hand planes, pneumatic brad nailer, router and router table, bench grinder, table saw) $930.86
Total for my Pocketship $11,469.43
This figure is accurate within $100-200. I became a little lax lately about keeping track of some minor purchases.
If you already have most of the power tools the cost is closer to $10,500.
By comparison a brand new Club 420 dinghy like we took sailing lessons in this spring costs about $10-11,000. Pocketship is certainly a lot more boat than a Club 420 and of course I didn't really decide to build my Pocketship because I was looking for the cheapest way of getting a sailboat.
I still haven't purchased a trailer but it appears a EZ-Loader EZL80 15-16 foot 2000 lb should be about $1550 before taxes.

First thing this morning- after I made bread, and got that cooked, I went off to some warehouses I know, and bought a roll, yes, 29 metres, of white polycotton. Not for me, but for someone else. So I will be reimbursed. Also, at the other warehouse, thread, and 60yds broderie anglaise trim, and some bias binding and a covered button tool for my daughter. I just think at the price it came out, it was silly not to.
The fabric warehouse was something else! They have net, and polycotton, and sequin fabric, and holographic fabric, fur, jersey, prints, oh almost everything. The prices are really good, but minimum cut is 25m. So not really for your average home sewer. And I could not justify buying anything other than the white poly. Maybe net another time, but for now that was all.
So home again, and I was able to sort out the sizing samples of tutu bodices, so I have a large and a medium, not in good fabric, but to try on as a guide for doing the real thing. Makes sense to me.
I used a tip I found on t'internet, and cut patterns out of freezer paper, ironed onto the fabric, and cut out from that. Saves on pinning and unpinning. Amazing how much quicker it is. and they are reusable. So win-win there.
apple-core block, which is the latest in the skill builder. Leila pins everything to hold it all, but I followed Lucy's tip and just sewed it. This is so much easier than all those pins, and quicker, and, it works.
Now, you do know I am lazy, don't you? well, having printed the template, I layered my fabrics, in threes, and drew round the template on the top piece, pinned the three together within the apple-core, and cut out three at a time. We only needed nine cores, so that was three lots of cutting, and then play with layout.
It is much easier to do this with the convex curve underneath and the concave one on top. So that is done. Now the three rows have to go together. Not so easy. Starting at one end and sewing across all three is a bit tricky. On the bottom row I decided to sew the middle cores first, and then do the outer ones. It sort of made sense to me.
And guess who forgot to take a photo at that point? Who, me? Hmm.
Ok, so whats for tea? I am starving!
And I have linked up with Freshly pieced, Lee is hosting.

After 4 wonderful winters travelling around Europe in my motorhome, I have set my sights further afield for 2017/2018.
At Easter, I sold Trixie (my faithful and reliable motorhome) in order to fund a 7 month tour of South America. She is now helping a lovely lady from Lymington and her dog to explore the European Continent.
Whilst in Europe I travelled on my own, this time I will be touring with a group of like-minded travellers in a huge overland truck. There will also be two crew members who will be worrying about which road to take, where we will spend the night and what we should eat for dinner, allowing me to relax, enjoy the views out the window and write about my experiences.
If you want to follow my adventures through South America then you can follow my new blog:
As usual, I will be writing about the unusual places I visit, the interesting people I meet and the delicious food I try.

With the 16 Swaras (s,r1,r2,r3,g1,g2,g3,m1,m2,p,d1,d2,d3,n1,n2,n3),there is no magic done in carnatic music to classify the ragas.Years ago ,from 14th to 17th century many scholars put a great effort in developing a base for classical music Raga Classification.THAT, is the sole source for all the other scholars in developing and enhancing the Raga patterns,both parent(janaka or melakarta) and child (janya) ragas.Melakarta or janaka ragas are classified based on Katapayadi Scheme or Ka-Ta-Pa-Ya Sankhya(numbering) system.
Ragas are classified ,in simpler terms as parent and child ragas,i.,e
- Melakarta or Janaka Ragas (Parent)
- Janya Ragas (Child).
Janya Raga scale is a subset of its parent raga,whereas Melakarta Ragas are classified based on Katapayadi system.
First 36 Ragas have Shudha Madhyamam (ma1) and next 36 Ragas have Prati Madhyamam(ma2).So the first division in 72 melakarta katapayadi system is based on Ma.
Next,72 ragas are divided into 6 Ragas per Chakra ,that will be 12 chakras(12 x 6 Melas).Each Chakra in sequence has a meaningful positioning,example,2nd chakra being netra(2 eyes) and 4th Chakra being Veda(4 vedas).
1st chakra - Indu
2nd chakra - netra
3rd chakra - agni
4th chakra - netra
5th chakra - baana
6th chakra - ruthu
7th chakra - rushi
8th chakra - vasu
9th chakra - brahma
10th chakra - disi
11th chakra - rudra
12th chakra - aditya
Scale in each chakra is differentiated with Rishabham and Gandharam (Ri and Ga).Example:
1st chakra - s, r1, g1 , m1, p , d , n , S
2nd chakra - s, r1 , g2 , m1, p , d , n , S and so on.Hence for each chakra in a sequence the swara sthanas of ri and ga will be as follows :
In the above,as mentioned, first 6 chakras have m1 so the example chakra shows m1.Next, s, p needn't be discussed.Next swara sthana d and n will be discussed in detail in next paragraph
r1 g1 , r1 g2 , r1 g3 , r2 g2 , r2 g3 , r3 g3 .
As you know, we can not put r2 g1 or r3 g2 because those swara sthanas are similar i.e., r2=g1 (Chathusruthi rishabham=Shudha gandharam) When I say similar, the swara sthanam or the tone of the swara is same hence they cant be differentiated.
Scales for Ragas are differentiated by Madhyamam(m) for 36-36 and rishabham and gandharam(r and g) for 6 each.Now how is each raga in a chakra classified .It is with daivatham and nishadam (d and n).Example :
1st chakra - s, r1, g1 , m1, p , d1 , n1 , S
2nd chakra - s, r1 , g2 , m1, p , d1 , n2 , S and so on.Hence, the order of d and n combination for every 6 ragas in sequence will be ,
d1 n1, d1 n2 , d1 n3 , d2 n2 , d2 n3, d3 n3.
Scales for Ragas are defined ,now How are the Ragas Named? Katapayadi Scheme ,needless to say,as in figure gives all the 72 ragas ,their swara sthanas and names.

ka kha ga gha ~m cha Cha ja Jha ~n
Ta Tha Da Dha Na ta tha da dha na
pa pha ba bha ma
ya ra la va Sa sha sa ha La ksha ~r
Raga Numbering is matched with the Ka-Ta-Pa-Ya scheme as written in the above pattern.For example, Raga 15 has 1 and 5 in the number.According to katapaya scheme, forming letters in the group 1 and 5 ,we get Ya and ma.Scholars followed left to right system and reversed the letter in number ,forming the first 2 letters of Raga 15 as ma and ya,hence the name mayamalawagowla ragam.

Liveaboards cruising around Socorro and Guadalupe Islands, Mexico
For detailed information, see our comparison of the Luxury Liveaboards of Mexico!
Liveaboard diving in Mexico
Mexico found in North America, is known to have a warm tropical climate. It is bordered by the United States of America in the north, Belize and Guatemala in the south, with the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west coast.
Divers are treated with a tremendous diversity of tropical species and breathtaking pelagic actions. The Pacific is most popular for the big fish encounters you can have while diving. Well, there is no other way to experience these thrills without hopping on a liveaboard. The best diving spots in Mexico are Socorro Islands (Revillagigedo), Guadalupe Island and Sea of Cortez.

The Sea of Cortez also has nutrient rich water and massive amount of diverse species. There is always an underwater adventure in store for those who wish to visit the beautiful islands only found in Mexico!
I usually use this website to book in advance my liveaboards in Mexico as they usually have the lowest rates I find. I like it because they have an easy booking system.
Best time to go on a Mexico Liveaboard
The island of Socorro is usually dived from November to May when the surface conditions are pretty good. Water temperatures range from 28°C in November to 25°C in May, cooling down to 21°C in February. You can witness the entertaining whale shark actions in November and December while humpback whales are often spotted from December to February.
Diving season in Guadalupe is more fun when done between August and October. This is the period where you can expect fantastic visibility and sea temperatures are from 19 to 22°C.

No need to fuss on when you can maximize having fun in the Sea of Cortez for it is considered to be a year-round diving destination. However, it is best recommended to take any of the Sea of Cortez liveaboards from August to November when the water temperatures are around 27°C mark and hammerhead sharks also bring joy and excitement to everyone.
Mexico Liveaboard routes:
The Revillagigedos Archipelago, also known as Socorro, is located in the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean, around 250 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It consists of 4 main islands. It is widely known as the version of Galapagos island in Mexico due to its wide array of endemic plants and animals as well as the noticeable pelagic sightings. A trip to the Socorro Islands would definitely include the possible destinations of San Benedicto, Socorro, Roca Partida and Clarion Islands on the itinerary.
If you want to see manta rays, you are advised to go to Socorro. Mantas in Socorro are indeed gigantic mantas. They are the largest of the rays and also the most energetic and acrobatic. Just like the dolphins, they are also known to be receptive to human interaction. You can only reach this remote island by liveaboard, and is approximately 24 hours away from San Cabo. The currents and choppy conditions as well as the open ocean nature of Socorro islands make it an ideal dive destination for large pelagics not only for mantas but also for Humpback whales.
If you are looking forward to see great white sharks at a closer range, you can head to Guadalupe Island which can be found at 165 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico.
Cage Diving with Great White Sharks of Isla Guadalupe, Mexico
The visibility and water temperature are commendable. Everyone is encouraged to try cage diving. Instead of SCUBA tanks, both divers and non-divers will use surface supplied air (hookah) which makes things more interesting.
If you're on a lookout for a calm and more relaxing liveaboard experience with both big and small marine animal encounters, The Sea of Cortez is right for you. It is found between the Baja Peninsula and the mainland of Mexico. Around 850 species of reef fish can be spotted in this place. You will also experience another fantastic encounter with hammerheads, orcas, whale sharks, whales and dolphins.

The Earl of Strafford, Thomas Wentworth. National Portrait Gallery.
Attention to detail and accuracy is what marks the difference between the hobbyist and the professional. And some of us actually enjoy the research.
Just before the turn of the 17th century in 1593, Thomas Wentworth was born in London, into fortune, property and prestige. But he sought more than anything what he did not have: a royal title. An earldom. It would come at the greatest cost.
When Frederick Douglass spoke at an anti-slavery convention in 1841, he was part of pattern in history, the Power of '41.
What was Christmas like in 17th century Ireland? What customs are still celebrated today?
These two members of feuding Anglo-Irish families were actually cousins, and made an unlikely couple until events shifted, ultimately allowing a marriage of choice rather than arrangement.
If you are serious about your products, you might want to be equally as serious about your personal brand that represents them.
Charles II valued many things, including art, architecture, ships and science, but above all he had "an absolute commitment to his own survival."
For personal branding, where other monarchs have provided lessons for success, King Charles I of England provides more of a cautionary tale.
Victoria became a powerhouse in a diminutive package, similar perhaps to Napoleon Bonaparte, but she used her power in strategic ways and avoided the pitfalls that plagued the French emperor.

Organizers Say the Bus Tour is Meant to Affirm a Biological Basis for Gender and to Criticize 'Gender Ideology'
Washington, D.C.–The National Organization for Marriage (NOM), International Organization for the Family (IOF) and CitizenGO today announced that they are jointly sponsoring a bus tour aimed at promoting what the groups said is the "truth of gender"—"that it is determined by biology rather than by emotions and feelings"—and to call on all Americans to respect the free speech rights of citizens to debate these issues without fear of being demeaned, harassed, or threatened with retaliation. The organizers also announced they will hold a press conference in Manhattan on Thursday, March 23rd to discuss the bus tour.
"It's biology, not bigotry," said Brian S. Brown, president of both NOM and IOF. "Men and women were created equally, each given a gender that is fixed, immutable and complementary. Rather than perpetuate a lie that gender can be changed based on emotions and feelings, we should encourage people to embrace and love who they were made to be."
The #FreeSpeechBus tour begins tomorrow in New York, where it will make appearances at the United Nations and Trump Tower, and drive through the streets of Manhattan. The bus carries the message, "It's biology. Boys are boys… and always will be. Girls are girls… and always will be. You can't change sex. Respect all."
The bus tour organizers echoed a sentiment repeatedly raised by Pope Francis, that "gender ideology" is "an error of the human mind that leads to so much confusion" and is a key element in why "the family is under attack." The Pope has condemned the teaching of "gender theory" in public schools, especially in developing nations, where he says it amounts to "ideological colonization" by influential western countries such as the United States. "And this is terrible," the Pope said last August. "We are experiencing a moment of the annihilation of man as the image of God."
"Proponents of gender ideology refuse to debate the scientific basis for their gender theory and instead resort to vicious character attacks on anyone who opposes them," said Ignacio Arsuaga, president of CitizenGO, a community of active citizens who promote life, family and liberty. "A recent scientific report from researchers with Johns Hopkins University found that there is no scientific basis for the idea that someone could be 'trapped in the wrong body' and that almost everyone who experiences feelings of gender confusion will outgrow them by the time they complete puberty. Yet LGBT activists have pushed their gender agenda into the schools, teaching children that they can choose their own gender. We agree with Pope Francis, 'this is terrible.'"
NOM, IOF and CitizenGO will hold a joint, bilingual press conference on Thursday, March 23rd at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, E 47th St, New York, NY 10017. Remarks and questions in Spanish will be at 11:30 AM; English at 12:00 Noon. The organizers will announce the final itinerary at this time, but currently there are plans for stops in New Haven, CT on the campus of Yale University, as well as in Boston, MA; Philadelphia, PA; and Washington, DC.

Keep your eyes on the road, from Volkswagen
From there the car causes a traffic accident were always multiple. It can be a combination of alcohol, drugs and driving, inappropriate speed for road and traffic, poor condition of the vehicle, etc. However, until recently distracted driving was not taken into account when it would be one of the determining factors in increasing accidents factors.
In Europe, where mobile phone use is prohibited driving, it is too common to see people talking on the phone or typing a message on mobile. In other countries, the proportion of drivers responding to a driving WhatsApp or other message reaches alarming levels. Hence Volkswagen conduct a road safety announcement pioneer and disseminated in a Hong Kong film. No untangle the ad, you'll see after the jump, but it is very well thought out. And as always in the most effective ads, part of a very simple idea.
I can now say. If you do not shut down or put the mobile in silent cinema, of course they will use driving …

A Venture Investor's Formula
Over the past several years sifting through thousands of business plans, company presentations, pitches and demos a formula emerged. It is a formula for what many investment firms including our own look for in a company. This formula is what I like to call the M.E.A.T. and many of my colleagues often look for these same core attributes. So what does it stand for?
How big is the market? Venture firms sometimes differ on what market sizes, market types and market viabilities they like but they all agree that there needs to be a market for a product. Many times a CEO or Founder will say the market is some huge number representing all segments of that market. For example, if this was a next generation smart phone for kids, showing us the total smart phone market as the available market would be incorrect. The market for that phone would be a segment such as smartphone users under the age of 12. That is the size of your total available market and it is what investors are looking to understand. Investors want to know how big this company could potentially be. If the total available market for your product is $100 million your company then has a ceiling of $100 million with 100% of the market.
Who is running this company? We are the investor not the management. We want to know that the team building this company is driven, focused and capable to do so. This is often that missing link many inventors and founders sometimes miss. They will think their new widget is the greatest thing since sliced bagels and think it will "sell it self." The reality is if no one knows about your technology or how to get it, no one will. Many investors will tell you they would rather have an amazing team with a mediocre technology than a mediocre team with a great technology. It's ok if you haven't got all the roles filled. This is something venture firms can help with but knowing the core group of people who built the company and are committed to its success goes a long way. Especially when the people involved have built businesses before and know what it takes to successfully reach an exit.
Who are your customers? The simplest way to show demand for your company's product is to show customers who have expressed a need for it or already use it. The higher quality the customer the more interested an investor will get. If you have Microsoft or Johnson Controls as one of your early adopters it shows real promise for the future. It also gives investors a customer to call to see if they are satisfied and ask why they need this technology. It also identifies possible acquirers of the company in the future which all add up to a more interested venture investor. This is also a vote of confidence when talking about the final part of our formula.
What does the company do? You can't have a technology company without... technology. Here we look at a number of different points. Is this a technology developed by the company or being used by the company? Is it proven to work commercially or still a prototype? Is it something they have protected with patents or is it more trade secrets? In the end the central question becomes: is the company's technology easy to replicate or is it something truly unique? As investors we have to mitigate as much risk as possible when making investments in companies. Knowing that a technology is unique or protected means once it is successful it is not easily copied or stolen.
What is important to understand is that there is no perfect formula. Venture firms all have their own criteria and metrics in which they analyze companies. The M.E.A.T. formula is just meant to highlight the general themes we all tend to look for and give you some insight into what questions to expect.

Please book your air transportation as soon as possible since the number of flights into the Telluride region of Colorado is somewhat limited.
Besides the Telluride Airport we recommend flying in to Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) or (third choice) Cortez Airport (CEZ). Tickets to these other airports are much cheaper.
From Montrose, take a shuttle (about a 90 minute ride) to Telluride. You will need to make a reservation for the shuttle. Select 'shared ride.' Contact: Telluride Express, +1-970-728-6000 or Mountain Limo [mountain-limo.com, +1-888-546-6894]. Rates from Montrose or Cortez to Telluride range from $45-$50 one-way for a shared ride.
The shuttle will take you directly to the Condominium Registration Office ("Telluride Alpine Lodging" for check-in. You will find your housing assignment here).
Alternately, you can fly to Durango Airport (DRO) or Grand Junction Airport (GJT) and from there take a shuttle (about a 2.5 hour ride) to Telluride. Again, you will need to make a reservation with Telluride Express, +1-970-728-6000. Check shuttle prices from these two airports; they can be expensive!
NOTE: For any shuttle reservation, check the fine print. You may be responsible for the full cost of the shuttle if you are the only passenger. We strongly suggest sharing the ride. Check the ride board below.
Luggage delivery
In case your luggage follows you (which can happen on hot days when the plane is overloaded), it may be helpful to write your housing condo, e.g. Telluride Lodge 312, on your luggage tag. Then the shuttle drivers who deliver leftover luggage will know exactly where to drop off your bags.
Ride Sharing
Access restricted. Please log in.

There is a whole line of storms for the next few days, so I'm settling in and making a daily schedule for studio studies. I have time in the studio with consistent light to explore a subject, unlike plein air where the light changes giving about a two hour window. After repeating the same technique for months in my painting process, it's time for a something new. Something like using my left hand to brush my teeth, sort of "new". Awkward. Usually, acrylic paint goes on thin and even using thick paint, it shrinks, so today I decided to layer thick paint. Rick Delaney mentioned he uses this technique to get the impasto look of oils in his acrylic paintings, and he's the one to ask about this. His work is filled with color and expressive brushwork where you can see in the finished work exactly where his brush began pasting on the color and where it ended. It's a new dimension to the "near music", as Barry Raybold (Virtual Art Academy) calls it. That's what you see when a painting pulls you in so close, all you see is individual, abstract brushwork that doesn't make sense until you step back and the eye sees the whole scene again.
The mood to this scene is cloudy, windy and expressive. It's hard to say "cold" in Weimar this year, since Texas abbreviated the seasons spring and winter like it does "ya'll" and I'm now in shorts and a t-shirt enjoying a "spr'inter". After sketching out my thoughts for the scene of a cedar along a fence line, using charcoal (easiest for me), I reworked it in brush-markers to get the values right. Since this is a gray scene, I mixed up some old Cobalt blue and Cad Red Light Hue to a big pile of warm gray. For a yellow to mix muted greens, I used yellow ochre, adjusting the value with Titanium white. I got out the biggest, fattest bristle brush in my arsenal and my palette knife and went to town. No fear was my mantra. Finding my gray mix wasn't quite dark enough, I got some thalo blue (powerful pigment) to mix with the cad red. Perfect. I can now see the branches layered on, the whites of clouds punching out of the surface and a richer sense of atmosphere I haven't been able to achieve before. Art is conveying an impression or what I feel about a scene, and somehow in this more expressive, abstract method, the feeling is more clear than with a scene rendered more like a photograph. Great lesson! This would work great with all the run down barns here with that sun-dried, withered texture.

Tough to find use, but nice to have on-hand
I had trouble figuring out what to do with these, but found that they are nice to have on-hand. I used some to wrangle cords of my straighteners and curling iron. That will be great for packing them in a gym bag or suitcase. I'm sure random things will come up where they will be helpful.3

youANDme - mouche Ah dub techno, arguably the most maligned of all dance music genres. Still, that won't stop such ardent practitioners as Detroit's Luke Hess from continuing to turn out his super deep takes on the style. But should it? On this release alone, the conclusion is surely no: his rework of youANDme's original is as propulsive yet pensive as they come. The main framework is fairly standard—a gently undulating bassline and spacious kicks—but the details are what keep you engaged. All around the groove is a scratched, imperfect sonic canvas that sounds just like old Super 8 films look. The original is couched even deeper in its own liquid boom-tis lines, pushing through an underwater world of swirling, unseen tides and warm churning currents without the slightest sense of friction.

5 Steps for Taking Social Listening to the Next Level
Part of an effective social media strategy is social listening. While some B2B companies may not see the need, every business can benefit from listening in. Online reputation management (ORM) is at the forefront of many who use social media channels, but some may not be doing as much as they can. Social listening will help B2B marketers keep their online marketing strategies fresh while allowing other departments to gain insight into the customer and business opportunities. Find out what customers are saying in real time and use that to your advantage when marketing your business online.
The benefits that come with social listening should be enough to convince your marketing team that this is something worth spending time on. You'll be able to develop better social marketing strategies while gaining insight into your brand and industry. Using the insights you gain from social listening, you'll be able to improve the conversation and reputation of your business.
- Improved social media strategies. Focused social listening will tell you which social networks your target audience is most actively using and the general sentiment about your brands, products, competitors and industry.
- More extensive campaign measurement. You have the ability to analyze quantitative metrics, such as the volume of conversation, and qualitative metrics, such as thoughts about the specific campaign.
- Real-time brand and ORM. Your brand can successfully identify potentially harmful conversations and handle the situation before it has a negative impact on your brand reputation.
- Performance benchmarking. By measuring the volume of conversation about your brand and about your competitors, you will be able to benchmark your social media performance as adjustments are made.
With social listening, your business can gain understanding of how others perceive your brand, business and industry. Look into the conversations surrounding your business to see where you're falling short or succeeding. Not only will you be able to see the communications about your company, you can see which people across the different social channels are most influential in spreading the word about your business.
- Product insights. Analyze the consumer feedback you come across to discover valuable product insights and adjust your business strategies to fit the needs of the consumer.
- Competitive insights. Tap into the discussion of your industry as a whole. See what consumers like or dislike as well as what they want that isn't currently available.
- Influencer insights. Active social listening can help you identify key influencers so you can gather valuable insight about your products, brand, or industry. You can discover who is sharing, what they are sharing, and why they're sharing.
There are both free and paid social analytics tools available to make the social listening process less painful for businesses. However, what's important is to get your listening process on point. Pay attention to what social networks are being used to discuss your business, the feelings toward your brand and business, and the topics most commonly associated. Here are 5 steps you can take towards a more successful approach to social listening.
- Create a "Monitor Map." Decide what type of information you want to track, whether it be the brand, industry or specific topics relevant to your business. With your conversation criteria as an outline, list down the 'trigger words' you want to monitor.
- Monitor current conversations around the 'trigger words'. Use an analytics tool – or if you are running a contest use custom hashtags – to see where the talk is taking place. Learn where your business stands in relation to the trigger words.
- Analyze the information. Are businesses talking positively or negatively about your company or brand? What problems are being pointed out? Who are the influencers? Look into what the conversations are and how your business can contribute internal insight for the better.
- Respond and engage. If customers are having a problem and you've corrected it, let them know. If you haven't, let them know where your business stands in terms of moving toward a resolution. Engage with influencers and other businesses. Social networks are for being social after all.
- Manage, track, and optimize. Monitor your social listening efforts and where you've seen success when making adjustments to strategies, products and business development. When you begin social listening, manage how, when and where you are listening, track your efforts, and optimize opportunities.
Social listening is an integral part of any effective online marketing team. In order to make progress in the social sphere, B2B businesses need to be aware of the conversations going on around their industry and business. Listening in, responding and interacting with prospects, and monitoring the results of social listening and response are essential. With social listening, your business can take its social media efforts to the next level.

Sorry for the long hiatus since my last post. Since we last spoke lots has happened.
We went on our Second Annual Schnell Family vacation to Montauk in the beginning of August. We stayed at The Surf Club, the same place we did last year. We had a wonderful time, barring the fact that Henry had a very high fever and was just not himself the first few days. Our poor little guy who is normally such a flexible traveler had such a hard time. He was clearly uncomfortable but wouldn't take his medicine. He also wouldn't sleep in his bed so we spent the entire week getting jammed in the solar plexus by his tiny but very strong foot.
Vacations certainly have a different flavor than they did in the past. The schedule is dictated by meals and naps, and the whims of a very tiny dictator. One day he might love the sand and water, the next day forget about it. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.
We have also just come out of another phase of fairly bad separation anxiety. In mid-July, we had to leave Henry out at my brother's house while we went to a wedding. Although we came back that night, we have never actually left him somewhere before. The very few times he has had a sitter has been at our house.
To say that he took it hard was an understatement. Kevin and Julie said he was fairly inconsolable for almost an hour after we left. After that he just sulked on the couch. Once they left to do some activities he cheered up, but the aftermath has been unpleasant. Until just this past week, he has been terrified of us leaving. Poor Adam was having to leave for work with Henry going into absolute hysterics. He has not really wanted to play with his friends, either at our house or theirs. When I would bring him to the park he would beg to go home or just refuse to get off my lap. It was so sad to witness, it is almost like he was going through a little life crisis. He seems to be coming out of it, but he is still not totally back to normal.
He is so much more little boy now than he was. He can put on his own shoes, wants to help dress himself, is very interested in the toilet and loves to play with little cars and trains. He is learning new words every day and is just growing up before our eyes every day. He also has such a good sense of humor and is a lot of fun to be around.

2 Appearing
Bitty quickly and quietly closed the door to her room. She could feel the anticipation of the map making her want to squeal. It was so exciting to have something like this happen, but what did it really mean, and was it really real? She moved over to her desk and with one arm pushed everything aside. She threw the plain piece of paper into the drawer and began to unroll the strange creamy paper that contained the photo of the map. She unrolled the map. It wasn't the same as when she had printed it. The white frothy bubbles had turned into many different colors. Where the bubbles had been were brown and green, like land. In place of the pale clear bathwater was a rich vibrant blue of a vast ocean. Bitty gasped aloud. Her hands flew away from the map. She was frightened to touch it. She began to pace back and forth in her room glancing at the map continuously. After only a few moments, that felt like hours, Bitty walked briskly back to her desk with the half opened map on it. She sucked in her breath and grasped the corners of the map and straightened it out fully. To her astonishment, words were written in a rich royal red, and more had appeared after she had taken the picture. Bitty pinched her arm hard, hard enough to make a red mark. She wanted to make sure all of this was really happening. She knew that it was really happening and her arm hurt, and the map was forming words and shapes in front of her eyes. Bitty squeezed her eyes shut. She saw images of a sailboat and a vast ocean and flying creatures flipping through her head like pictures on the TV. She opened her eyes and wondered whether it was better to watch the map growing and changing or to let all the strange sights jump into her head. She knew they had to be attached to the map somehow; there was no doubt about that. She just didn't know what it all meant, or how it was happening. Bitty went to her bed and retrieved her journal from between the mattresses. She had better write all this down so she would remember the images in her mind.
She just finished writing down the last few details when she heard her mother knock on the door.
"Just a minute." Bitty called grabbing the map and throwing it with the journal under her mattress. She moved to open her door.
"I just wanted to make sure you hadn't changed your mind about the movie." Her mother glanced around the room quickly then let her eyes rest on Bitty's.
"No. I've got a book here that I've been wanting to start reading." Bitty's eyes shifted to the blue floral comforter on her bed. She had failed to let it fall back into place after hiding the map and journal under it. Her eyes flew back to her mother and she smiled.
"Are you ok?" Her mother stepped closer to her and looked into her eyes. "You are acting a little strange, if there is something wrong you can tell me."
"Nothing mom, I'm just not up to a movie tonight." Bitty smiled and hugged her mother, hoping to relieve her worries.
Her mother stepped back from her and smiled back. Then she walked to the edge of Bitty's bed and began to straighten the comforter. Bitty bit her bottom lip behind her mother's back.
'Don't find it, don't find it, don't find it.' Bitty's brain echoed loudly.
"Mom, you don't have to do that." Bitty touched her mothers purple blouse on the shoulder. "Here let me." Bitty nudged her way in front of her mother and quickly smoothed the soft blankets then turned around to face her mother. "Well, maybe I can come down for a while; it does sound good to watch a movie together." She knew that would be the best way to keep her mother away from her room.
"Really, are you sure?"
Bitty nodded her head and said, "Let's go mom".
During the middle of the movie, Bitty's best friend Jelly called. "Hey, what're ya doing?" She asked Bitty.
"Mom and I are watching a movie."
"Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to spend the night?" Bitty liked Jelly a lot. She loved to spend the night at her house. Bitty didn't have any brothers or sisters and Jelly had two of each. It was fun to have so many kids; they could play games of all kinds. Last time she stayed they played Monopoly and Bitty even beat Jelly's two older brothers. But now that she had the map, she didn't want to stay there and have all those other kids knowing about it too.
It was hard to do but Bitty said "Not tonight, maybe another night, ok".
"Sure, well, bye." Jelly sounded disappointed to her, but Bitty would explain it all later, she would understand.
"You don't want to stay with Jelly tonight? That's definitely odd."
"Nah, it's loud at her house." Bitty smiled and continued watching the movie.
"I think I'm going up to bed now. Goodnight." Bitty yawned too for good measure.
"Goodnight Bit." Her mother called after her as she rounded the steps to her bedroom. She shook her head as she watched her only child shut her bedroom door.
Bitty locked the door of her room. She sped over to the bed and pulled out the map. The image was beautiful and pristine. Everything was outlined and named, charted with an amazing accuracy. She marveled at the pure beauty of the paper and ink in front of her. The map looked ancient. It looked as if it was from another world. She grabbed a scrunchie and threw her hair up out of her face. She gathered the journal from its little hiding place and sat down at the desk. She began to list the charted areas of the map. First she counted the oceans and the largest land masses. It appeared that there were three large bodies of water. The Sea of Ganthra, The Mightic Ocean and The Largonian Ocean were listed in large scarlet letters over the mass of blue oceans. She viewed several other smaller areas of blue that seemed to be smaller lakes and then rivers too, but she wanted to first list the biggest areas of land that had names. Two shared their names with oceans. Largonia and Ganthra were the two largest areas of land but there were three more worthy enough in size to list with them. Woodenthra, Draconvi, and Merchindia Bitty listed from the largest to the smallest. She also was excited to see that there were many islands peppered throughout the map with queer names like The Islets of Barognia and The Deserted Islands. She was lost in the map and didn't realize the time was so late. She heard her mother coming up the stairs slowly and snatched her light off in time. All she needed was more questions. She lay awake in her bed, as she shut her eyes visions of water speeding by so fast covered any thoughts she was having. This time she relished the images of another place. She saw a battle of many people with swords flashing and bodies falling down. She became sad. Was this place in turmoil? Her wondering overpowered the sights and she drifted off to sleep.

Since the Fukushima accident, Japanese scientists have been intensively
monitoring ambient radiations in the highly contaminated territories
situated within 80 km of the nuclear site. The surveys that were
conducted through mainly carborne, airborne and in situ gamma-ray
measurement devices, enabled to efficiently characterize the spatial
distribution and temporal evolution of air dose rates induced by
Caesium-134 and Caesium-137 in the terrestrial systems. These
measurements revealed that radiation levels decreased at rates greater
than expected from physical decay in 2011-2012 (up to a factor of 2),
and dependent on the type of environment (i.e. urban, agricultural or
forest). Unlike carborne measurements that may have been strongly
influenced by the depuration of road surfaces, no obvious reason can be
invoked for airborne measurements, especially above forests that are
known to efficiently retain and recycle radiocaesium. The purpose of our
research project is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the
data acquired by Japanese, and identify the environmental mechanisms or
factors that may explain such decays. The methodology relies on the use
of a process-based and spatially-distributed dynamic model that predicts
radiocaesium transfer and associated air dose rates inside/above a
terrestrial environment (e.g., forests, croplands, meadows, bare soils
and urban areas). Despite the lack of site-specific data, our numerical
study predicts decrease rates that are globally consistent with both
aerial and in situ observations. The simulation at a flying altitude of
200 m indicated that ambient radiation levels decreased over the first
12 months by about 45% over dense urban areas, 15% above evergreen
coniferous forests and between 2 and 12% above agricultural lands, owing
to environmental processes that are identified and discussed. In
particular, we demonstrate that the decrease over evergreen coniferous
regions might be due the combined effects of canopy depuration (through
biological and physical mechanisms) and the shielding of gamma rays
emitted from the forest floor by vegetation. Our study finally suggests
that airborne surveys might have not reflected dose rates at ground
level in forest systems, which were predicted to slightly increase by
5-10% during the same period of time.

Greenwich (Mass.) Collection, 1734-1940
1 box (0.25 linear ft.)
Collection number: MS 011
Granted in 1737 and incorporated in 1754, Greenwich, Mass., was the first town in the Swift River Valley settled by Europeans. Sitting astride the East and Middle branches of the Swift River and forming the eastern boundary of Hampshire County, Greenwich was primarily an agricultural town with light manufacturing and, beginning in the later nineteenth century, an active tourist trade. The town's population peaked at over 1,100 early in the nineteenth century, declining slowly thereafter.
The records of Greenwich, Mass., offer a long perspective on the history of the region inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of this collection consists of the records of town meetings and the Selectmen of Greenwich from the Proprietary period in the 1730s through disincorporation in 1938, but there is some documentation of the town's Congregational Church, a local school, the library, and the Greenwich Improvement Society. This finding aid reflects both materials held by SCUA and materials digitized in partnership with the Swift River Valley Historical Society in New Salem, Mass.
Terms of Access and Use:
The collection is open for research.

There are three ways in which states can make life difficult for federal warrantless spying programs. Track the status of such legislation by clicking on states in the map below.
TAB 1) Ban material support and resources for federal facilities. This should be done in states whether they have active facilities or not. (read more here)
TAB 2) Ban the use of warrantless data in court. Since the NSA shares such information with state and local law enforcement via SOD and Fusion centers, this would thwart some of the practical effect of the spying. (read more here)
TAB 3) Ban obtaining cell phone tracking/location info without a warrant. The NSA is tracking millions of cell phone locations around the world. Since it shares information for use on a state and local level via SOD and fusion centers, banning the obtaining or use of such information on a state level can help mitigate the effects of federal spying.
