BibMe is a free automated citation creator and bibliography generator. It uses external databases to fill citation information: after that it compiles the bibliography and formats references following the guidelines specified by the most recent editions of each style guide. It is also possible to enter citations manually. A citation guided is also provided to students for them to learn about style guidelines for citing references.
BibMe provides with the possibility to save as many bibliographies as wanted and to access and edit them on the Web at any time. Bibliographies can be shared and downloaded in a .rtf file. It is also possible to assign categories and tags to individual citations in order to find them easily and filter citations across all compiled bibliographies.
It started in January 2007 as a student project with the aim to avoid passing hours on formatting bibliographies, thus saving time, better served working on the paper.
At present the web site is somewhat overloaded with advertisement and it may be less attractive to use with students.
Chemistry: All About You
Çhemistry: All About You - Teach chemistry in a fun and innovative way is a website whereteachers can find chemistry resources to organise activities in the classroom around the video "Chemistry: All About You" developed by the European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) in partnership with UNESCO and IUPAC. The objective is to propose tools for an innovative and multi-disciplinary approach of chemistry teaching.
Video, teachers'guidelines, lesson plans, documents and experiment modules are available on the website.
EU-UNAWE Universe Awareness
EU-UNAWE aims to use astronomy as a tool for inspiring and educating young children, and encourage them to develop an interest in science and technology. The programme also aims to introduce children to the idea of global citizenship and tolerance at a crucial stage of their development – to show them that they are part of an international community.
This programme is aimed at children aged 4 to 10 years, especially those from underprivileged communities, but the resources are open to all: on the website, multimedia as well as educational materials and guidelines are available.
Cineclub - the young filmmakers network
Cineclub was launched in 2004 aiming to create a network of young filmmakers in the UK who create, watch and share films with each other. Cineclub's membership programme provides training and resources for teachers to set up film projects during curriculum time or as an out of school hours activity and the chance to share work publically at cinema venues across the year. As a sustainable and cost-effective model, more teachers are trained each year so the medium of film can broaden within the school curriculum. Cineclub aims to be as inclusive to as many schools as possible so their Gold membership model is just £395 for annual membership which includes training for 2 teachers and cinema screenings of the students work.
KlasCement is a Belgian web2.0 organisation for teachers. More than 60,000 teachers, mostly from Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, and partly from the Netherlands are sharing learning objects online such as presentations,
courses, articles, sites and media files. Members of the community can make free use of these files for their lessons.
After a free registration, you can start searching for multimedia (http://www.klascement.net/multimedia/alles) looking around or using the powerful search engine; results can be filtered by educational level, subject, role, etc.

Level 7
Level 7, created in 2010 by Careersbox (UK - http://www.careersbox.co.uk), is a modular job application and interview techniques film programme. Aimed at students who are preparing for the world of work, who are often confronted with a disconnect in what is expected by the commercial world and what resources are available to the education world, this project is meant to better prepare and inform young people around the expectations of an employer whilst supporting teachers with an engaging technology based platform to help them do their job more effectively.
This program is designed to offer real employer feedback to help guide young people (aged 14-17) into the world of work. They, as well as information, advice and guidance professionals across all UK schools can use the resources. Due to its delivery method (online, as well as embedded in to schools' Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), on DVD), Level 7 has been used in a number of contexts but its primary use has been in careers guidance, citizenship and work readiness classes and it can be used in the classroom, at home or with parents or other key influencers.
The pay-off for the employer audience is better prepared applicants who can make the most of their opportunity to join an organisation and Level 7 can help young people raise their confidence levels when seeking employment.

The team, led by Professor Les Baillie from the Welsh School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the National Botanic Garden of Wales, is examining whether honey and its maker – the humble bee – could hold the secret to fighting hospital superbugs like MRSA and Clostridium difficile.
Spurred on by the antibacterial attributes of Manuka honey, the project aims to identify native British plants with similar therapeutic properties by screening honey samples collected from every part of the UK.
"In preliminary studies we have identified a number of Welsh honeys with antibacterial activity and are in the process of determining their DNA profile," said Professor Baillie, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
"While the early results are promising we are still seeking additional samples from across the UK to increase our chances of finding therapeutic compounds.
"We are therefore appealing to beekeepers from across the UK to send us samples along with a list, if known, of the plants their bees feed on," he added.
The research is funded by the Society for Applied Microbiology, the European Social Fund and the Welsh Government.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the project should send a 200g sample to: Miss Jenny Hawkins, Welsh School of Pharmacy, Redwood Building, King Edward VII Avenue, Cardiff, CF10 3NB.

Conventional Storage Water Heaters
Conventional storage water heaters remain the most popular type of water heating system for the home. A single-family storage water heater offers a ready reservoirfrom 20 to 80 gallonsof hot water. It operates by releasing hot water from the top of the tank when you turn on the hot water tap. To replace that hot water, cold water enters the bottom of the tank, ensuring that the tank is always full. Conventional storage water heater fuel sources include natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters provide hot water only as it is needed. They don't produce the standby energy losses associated with storage water heaters, which can save you money. Demand water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank. Therefore, they avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water. As a result, demand water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water. You don't need to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Most homeowners who have heat pumps use them to heat and cool their homes. But a heat pump also can be used to heat watereither as stand-alone water heating system, or as combination water heating and space conditioning system. Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore, they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters.
Tankless Coil/Indirect Water Heaters
Tankless coil and indirect water heaters use a home's space heating system to heat water. They're part of what's called integrated or combination water and space heating systems. A tankless coil water heater uses a heating coil or heat exchanger installed in a main furnace or boiler. Whenever a hot water faucet is turned on, the water flows through the heat exchanger. These water heaters provide hot water on demand without a tank, like a demand water heater, but because they rely on the furnace or boiler to heat the water directly, tankless coil water heaters work most efficiently during cold months when the heating system is used regularly.
If you would like more information on the kind of water heater that would be the best for your home, call Approved Comfort at (815) 219-7102.

Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 | 2 a.m.
MESQUITE — The bevy of sports action taking place in Southern Nevada lately isn't limited to Las Vegas. It stretches at least as far as 80 miles north, where a new training complex is making an impact on the local sports scene in the rural town of Mesquite.
Rising Star Sports Ranch, just off of Interstate 15, is a hotel and sports mecca owned by the Lee family, which also operates the nearby Eureka resort.
The property has found early success since opening in October 2016, with an event booked every weekend through the end of March. Here's how it works, and a look at some of the teams that have come through.
The crown jewel of the property is a 30,000-square-foot field house called "the Barn." It can convert to house three full-size basketball courts, an indoor soccer field with turf and a number of other configurations.
"The reason that's a big deal for the area is, for example, preseason football," said Andre Carrier, president and COO of Rising Star. "It's not a nice place to play outside during the summer. Instead of trying to beat the heat and starting practice at 5 a.m. or later in the day at 7 p.m., we had a high school program set up in here where it's air conditioned for their summer programs."
Nike Baseball had summer camps at Rising Star, doing everything but scrimmage indoors, then transitioning outside for evenings.
Rising Star's outdoor facilities include basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts. There's also a lighted field that can be used for football, soccer or lacrosse, and four 70-foot batting cages and an infield for baseball and softball practice. Finally, an area called "the Backyard" is set up for families and teams to relax and unwind.
The resort isn't exclusively open to tournaments and camps, however, as amenities like the Backyard are open to hotel guests.
The property offers 210 rooms, including ones designed for large teams that feature bunk beds and can accommodate up to 12 people. And there are robots.
Robot assistants are stationed on each floor, helping keep track of who is in and out of their rooms, telling guests if they're being too loud and delivering room service.
"The kids really get a kick out of seeing a robot come to their room," Carrier said. "It's become an attraction in its own right."
Meeting and event space is covered with a versatile 7,500-square-foot venue that's been used for everything from coaching summits to dinners for large tournaments.
More traditional amenities include an arcade room, a resort-style pool and an on-site restaurant, the Victory Kitchen, that can seat as many as 400 people.
UNLV basketball
Rising Star thrives on attracting teams to its property, and its highest-profile group might have been one from down the road. The UNLV men's basketball team used the resort as part of an off-season program that coach Marvin Menzies credited for the Rebels' strong start to the season.
The team spent a few days at Rising Star taking part in "the Program," a plan developed by Navy SEALs.
"It was more than team building," Menzies said. "It taught the team how to handle a challenging situation and ... teach them how to deal with those situations. It was good for communication, and it was good for the bonding aspect as well."
Menzies said it was particularly beneficial for a team such as the Rebels, who were trying to develop chemistry after severe roster turnover.
Menzies was so impressed by the facilities that he said he could see making it a regular stop.
"The way Rising Star is set up, it's perfect for large and small groups, and the staff did a phenomenal job making it seamless for us," he said. "From the meeting rooms to the meals to the facilities, we will definitely go back and utilize the facility and the program again."
Nevada Desert Dogs
Rising Star has its own team too.
The Nevada Desert Dogs kicked off the inaugural season of the eight-team North American Premier Basketball League on Jan. 12 at the Barn with a 119-115 loss to the Vancouver Knights.
Paul Mokeski, a former University of Kansas star and 11-year NBA veteran, coaches the team. As a longtime NBA assistant and coach in other professional leagues, Mokeski said was impressed by the level of play in the league.
NAPB players make between $1,500 and $5,000 per month.
"This is not college ball," he said. "I think all the people who came out there were pleasantly surprised. It's professional, and the players are really good. When you come out (to a game), you're really close and can see all the action. I think it will work out really well for the league and for the team."
The town of about 22,000 residents has supported the team at the Barn, which seats up to 3,000 for Desert Dogs' games.
"We've had some good crowds so far," he said. "With it being smaller, it's really intimate. When it gets loud in there, it gets really, really loud."
Teams play 32 games a season, with four home games per month. Several players from Las Vegas are on the roster, including former Bishop Gorman High School and University of Oregon great Johnathan Loyd.
Planet Athlete
Also housed at Rising Star is Planet Athlete, a basketball program for students who live at the resort while studying at the nearby College of Southern Nevada Mesquite campus.
This year's team is made up of players from seven states and four countries. They all received college basketball scholarship offers from lower-tier schools or divisions, and are looking to raise their stock.
"These are kids who didn't get into the school they wanted because they didn't qualify academically, so they're here doing SAT prep and or they're trying to get to that next level of school," Carrier said. "Maybe a Division II or Division III kid trying to get into a Division I school, or a better Division I program."
The team travels throughout the U.S. playing other preparatory and post-prep schools, including local powerhouse Findlay Prep.
Eric Bowman has coached the team, which was previously based in Phoenix, for the past decade. He jumped at the chance to bring it to Rising Star when the resort reached out.
"When this opportunity came, they wanted to help the kids and the program; it was a great thing for us," Bowman said. "We're blessed that they made the room for us to be here.
"This is a beautiful facility. The overall resources at Rising Star, from the rooms, the food and the use of conference rooms for classes, is great and would be hard to find anywhere else."

By WILLIAM SHANNON
Chances to own an island in the Hudson River don't come along very often. And even if a price tag hovers at $559,000—which is what Campbell Island in Schodack is listed for on privateislandsonline.com—it's fun for a river frequenter to imagine being able to lay claim to 97 acres of riverfront land.
As was fairly common for the Hudson River in the 1800s, Campbell Island, once a proper island, became a peninsula. According to a listing on hudsonriverland.com, Campbell Island, which is wooded and quiet now, was "once home to the Mohicans, Dutch settlers and an icehouse."
The rare opportunity along "America's premiere heritage river," offers nearly a mile of river frontage and a mile of creek frontage along the Papscanee Creek.
"River lovers," the listing reads, "wait no longer to live your dream. You can own the largest, best piece of waterfront property available in New York State—97 acres on Campbell Island on the Hudson, America's First River.
"Campbell offers beautiful, nearly pristine land; rare waterfront rights; and a haven from rising tides.
"Located in New York's Capital Region, close to civilization yet a million miles away, Campbell Island on the Hudson is the perfect place for waterfront adventures, year-round recreation, a family/corporate compound, a training/conference/meeting space, B&B resort, getaway retreat, your heart's content.
"Here you can recharge your spirit, enjoy nature and experience the ever-changing Hudson in your own paradise with friends and family.
"Accessible by water, foot and air, and buildable, Campbell offers a chance to fulfill your imagination from a simple waterside cottage to a luxurious overlook on the magnificent Hudson Valley to rival Olana."
A few months ago, when Scenic Hudson acquired 590 acres of riverfront land a few miles to the south of Campbell Island, I inquired whether the conservation group was looking into buying Campbell.
Kelly Boling, senior land project manager at Scenic Hudson, wrote in an email at the time, "We've had discussion with Campbell Island's owner in the past, but, thus far, we haven't been able to advance a conservation project there."
For more information on Campbell Island, see this video promotion, which seems fresh out of the 1980s.

San Antonio joins other Texas cities with its own stand-alone bouldering gym
The beige walls rise into the air, dotted by evenly spaced holes, each one threaded for a future hand or foothold. Large blocks of foot-thick foam get glued together, soon to become cushions to catch falling climbers.
San Antonio's first dedicated climbing gym aims to open late this month after months of renovation on an 11,000-square-foot warehouse. Once filled with gasoline pump parts, the building now houses 16 foot-tall cliffs and caves dotted with plastic rocks.
The gym, Armadillo Boulders, will offer a type of rock climbing called bouldering, which doesn't require ropes and harnesses, and usually allows climbers to ascend shorter distances, in this case 15 feet, with falls broken by thick pads.
Armadillo is an example of the growing popularity of rock climbing gyms, which have spread across the state and the nation as people of all types — not just those training for climbs in the outdoors — find hauling themselves up walls a challenging and invigorating way to break a sweat. Rock climbing has gained more attention in recent years as professional climbers complete breathtaking climbs — such as Alex Honnold's conquest of the 3,000-foot El Capitan Wall in Yosemite National Park — and the International Olympic Committee named it a sport for the 2020 games in Tokyo.
The climbing gym industry has grown steadily for years. In 2017, 43 climbing gyms opened in the United States, compared to 27 in 2016, according to the Climbing Business Journal, a trade publication. More than 450 climbing gyms operate in the United States, including more than a dozen in Texas, most of them in Houston, Austin and the Dallas Fort-Worth area.
San Antonio may soon catch up. Inspire Rock — which operates a gym with 17,000 square feet of climbing space in Spring north of Houston and is building a second, 24,000-square-foot location about 25 miles away in Cypress — is planning a 25,000-square-foot rope climbing gym on San Antonio's Northeast Side. The gym would be on part of the site of the former Longhorn Quarry.
"We're chomping at the bit to get into San Antonio," said Paul Short, founder of Inspire Rock.
For many years, San Antonio climbers could only get their fix at The District, a small climbing gym that shared space with LivingStone Crossfit gym on Broadway. But three years ago, two San Antonio natives and climbing enthusiasts, Joe Kreidel and Michael Cano, whose families grew up together in San Antonio, decided that the seventh largest city in the country was ready for much larger gym devoted to climbing.
Kreidel, 40, said the idea for the gym was born while he was in San Antonio to attend a wedding. Then living in Tucson, Ariz., he had planned to open a climbing gym there, but was beaten to the punch by a competitor. As he drove around his hometown, he not only realized that San Antonio didn't have much in the way of climbing gyms, but also that the city seemed to have gained energy since his time growing up on the North Side.
He contacted Cano, who was working as an oil and gas banker in New York, and floated the idea.
"He was immediately on board," Kreidel said, "and we've been plugging away ever since."
Cano, 37, said he decided that climbing gyms had the potential to grow because they were expanding their customer base from hard-core rock climbers who frequented sweaty, chalky gyms to a broader range of climbers with varying skills, including children and families. Armadillo Boulders will offer a variety of amenities, including yoga and Pilates classes, weight training and exercise equipment, and set aside two hours a day — 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. — exclusively for families for climb.
"All of a sudden there's a generation of gyms, 2.0, so much better with locker rooms, yoga rooms, fitness room," said Cano. "All youths, all types of people, professional, novices — it's not just awesome climbers climbing."
Kreidel and Cano declined to disclose their investment in the gym, but a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation put the cost of the renovations at $675,000.
While both men are climbers, Kreidel, with at least 20 years under his belt, is "more of the climber," Cano said. Kreidel will be the head route setter, which involves moving hand and foot holds around the wall on a regular basis to create new routes, or what climbers call "problems."
The walls will be filled with upward of 150 color-coded routes that denote their difficulty. Benches and cubbies will give climbers a place to rest and store their items. Monthly memberships start at $69 for individuals with a $49 initiation fee, which is waived for military members, students and teachers.
Initially, Kreidel and Cano wanted to find a building to accommodate top rope climbing, which involves two climbers putting on harnesses and using a rope tied between them to catch falls. But those gyms require buildings with at least 40-foot-tall roofs, which are in short supply. Constructing a new building would have been prohibitively costly, they said.

She-Ra Trailer Released
Full trailer now available for Season 1 reboot of She-Ra.
More and more 80s themed shows are returning for the youngest generations to discover. With the success of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic franchise, it's no wonder that executives will try to capitalize on that momentum. She-Ra is a timely, relevant addition to the Netflix original content stream. The Princess of Power is a tour-de-force for young girls that want to be strong and independent.
The new trailer shows the apropos origin story of She-Ra, the near Shakespearean conflict of battling a former bestie, and a collective of super-powered princesses that could rival any DC or Marvel blockbuster. Plus, she has her own winged unicorn…
She-Ra was, originally, just a female counterpart to the more popular He-Man. The Masters of the Universe needed the balance. This new show seems to offer the nostalgia of the 80s with the modern twist on the wit, character development, and storytelling that discriminating viewers have come to expect.
While it made be difficult to think that a relative "bit player" on the 80s scene could be rebooted to viral level popularity, the trailer offers a peek at show's direction. It's possible that this Princess of Power will honor Greyskull with her viewership.
Check it out…
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will be available on Netflix on November 16.

The Rugby League World Cup has officially kicked off, and the first round saw the defending champions New Zealand take on the formidable physical team of Samoa.
The Kiwis were able to close out the match 42-24, but the scoreline doesn't resemble the fight that the New Zealanders had to put in to overcome the Samoans.
Warriors winger Manu Vatuvei managed to pick up three tries, making him the leading try scorer at the moment.
Sonny Bill Williams almost scored a try for himself, but a blunder in the in-goal area caused him to slip over the dead-ball line and the try to be disallowed.

Switzerland made a blazing start in the first Men's Hockey World League Round One Tournament, clobbering Bulgaria 11-0 at Sveti Ivan Zelina near Zagreb in Croatia. The 36th ranked Swiss men made their belligerent intentions abundantly clear from the start with Yanik Kloter striking twice inside the first two minutes.
The 50th ranked Bulgarians had no answer to the questions asked by the Swiss inside their 'D' as the latter rode roughshod over them. Gael Wyss-Chodat, Nicholas Steffen, Fabian Wullschleger and Jan Hodle ensured there was no let up in intensity from Switzerland as they trooped off the pitch for the half-time break with a cozy 6-0 lead.
Changing over, the Swiss looks more goal-hungry as Marco Michel made the scoreline 7-0. Yanik Kloter and Jan Hodle scored their second of the match sandwiched by a Manuel Keller strike to turn the contest into a ridiculously one-sided affair. Yves Morard hammered the final nail in Bulgaria's coffin netting the eleventh goal two minutes from the final hooter.
In another match, hosts Croatia pipped 39th ranked Turkey 6-1. Interestingly, Croatia do not have any FIH world ranking. 23rd ranked Russia is the highest ranked side among the five participating teams. Russia will open their campaign against Bulgaria on Wednesday.
It may be noted that teams with rankings higher than 20 compete in HWL Round One for the right to compete in Round Two events. The Round Two competitors have a ranking from 11 to 19 will earn the right to compete in Round Three – the level of competition at which the lower-ranked teams enter the contest.
The winners of Round Three reach the Final Round and will contest the right to play at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The top six or seven teams from the Hockey World League will qualify for the Olympics alongside each continental champion.

It's hard to live in two places at once
It's hard to live in two places at once. For 31 years, Canada was my home. In 2016, I travelled but for the most part I still lived and breathed Canada, albeit remotely. I dedicated a significant portion of every day to facetiming, blogging, emailing, writing postcards, and sending texts to people I missed and cared about back home. It was easy to do since I didn't really have friend obligations where I was. Whether I was in Canggu or Canberra, friends came in and out of my life like the tide. Staying just long enough to make a few memories but moving on with their own travels soon enough. I collected people like baseball cards, knowing the highlights – name, country, travel plans, career ambitions, but never needing to fully immerse myself in their life leaving me with all the time I needed to remain up to date with those back home. I seemed to be living in two places at once. For the most part. Naturally, I lost a few Canadian friends along the way – the connection not strong enough to bridge a 10, 000+ kilometer divide. But I managed to keep the really good ones close and I actually became even closer to those that meant the most.
When I arrived in New Zealand a year ago today, living in two places got harder. As you may have read in my blog last December, I felt pulled in several directions. My travels were winding down and while I was tired of going from hostel to hostel, the fact that the adventure was coming to an end was depressing. I'd soon be looking for my next job and despite having a year-long break, I had not experienced any major career revelations along my journey. Hollywood movies had led me astray. To make matters worse, I also felt drawn back to Australia where I'd just spent three months with some amazing people. The natural inclination was to consider going home. But I wasn't ready.
The last time I blogged, I had just returned from an amazing trip home in June where I got to reconnect with all my family and friends. I returned feeling lonesome. I realized that I really missed having people around me who knew me, who were there for me and who I cared about. No longer did I want to be a tourist. I wanted people to invest their time getting to know me and I wanted to spend more time getting to know them. To do this, I knew I would have to spend less time in front of my computer screen and more time actually living abroad.
After all, living abroad won't be a permanent thing. This decision became clear to me when a very special Aunt fell ill this past August and being 30 hours away was simply too far. With information unclear about how dire the situation was, it was hard to know if and when I should consider going home. I had just been home a month before and had no annual leave left. And while I had the money, the cost of a flight home was exorbitant on that short of notice. I'll be forever grateful that my firm made my decision easy and urged me to go without delay. I arrived a few hours before she passed away so I was able to see her one last time and more importantly, support her daughters, my Dad and my other Aunt who were at her bedside.
As sad as it was, the trip home was one of the most fulfilling family visits that I can remember. I think we all valued our time together more after seeing such a wonderful life slip away so quickly. I was able to reconnect with my extended family, in particular my Aunt Liz who had also flown home from England. She moved away from Canada when she was just 19 and although we've spent many holidays, anniversaries, and weddings together, I felt I reconnected with her as an adult. It was clear that we have a lot in common including an adventurous spirit.
So while the trip was as good as I could have hoped for, I know I will not always be so lucky to make it back in time. Even if I lived in Canada, this still may not be the case. However, I never want a flight or distance to be the reason I can't be with the people I love, especially when it matters. So I will go back to Canada eventually. But if I am to be 30 hours by plane away from Canada, I had best make the most of it and actually, live abroad.
So for the last few months, I've put my computer down (kindly pointed out by Adrien - a loyal blog follower and one of the best Aussie's I know). I've still been writing when I get the bug but not to the same extent as before. When I haven't been blogging, I've made a good group of friends. I have a house search to thank for it. While looking for a new flat in a more lively neighbourhood, I went to see a three-bedroom house where two girls were looking for a third. I got on immediately with one of the girls – Kelley - an American from California. I joked that even if I didn't get the room maybe we could still be friends! Turns out, I didn't get the room but she did take me up on the offer to be friends! A few weeks later, the house I had moved into needed to fill another room so in and out came the candidates. A kiwi girl, Emma, had just returned from California. She liked the place and we liked her, but she wanted to see a few more houses before she committed. Unfortunately, we had to choose someone else to fill the room before she was able to come back. Nevertheless, I stayed in touch as we bonded instantly over our love of wine.
So one day, I thought I'd invite both ladies to go on a hike. I picked up Emma and we made our way to Kelley's. As I pulled up to Kelley's house, Emma realized that she too had looked at the same room and had been rejected! Ha ha ha To make it more interesting, Kelley invited the new, successful roommate Rose on the hike! Two months later, we're all inseparable and have even expanded the circle to include Jemima – a Brit who I met travelling and who recently moved to Auckland. Small world, eh?!
It feels very small each time I meet up with a Canadian who's passing through. In the last few months, I've met up with five people from Canada. It's been a treat to see a familiar face from my Masters programme, regale ourselves with stories from the political years, and catch up with old friends and colleagues who really know me. No small talk needed; we just pick up where we left off. I'm already looking forward to my parents' visit next year and I'm also making a list of things I still want to do while I'm here. It's hard to live in two places at once so for the time being, I'm going to try to live life to the fullest here.
2017/2018 To Do List
- More half-marathons - just did my first one ever across the Auckland bridge and it was awesome. I'm signed up for one on Waiheke Island next May but I'm thinking I need to find another in January or February.
- I want to do at least three of the nine Great Walks, maybe more! I had put off buying camping gear given I wanted to be really mobile over the last few years but it's time to invest in a bit of gear so that my adventures can continue. I've done Tongariro Alpine Crossing twice and can't wait to do more walks in this beautiful country.
- I also want to do more scuba diving in this corner of the world. Being in New Zealand means that I'm only a stones throw away from some of the world's most remote dive spots in Fiji and French Polynesia. I'd best make the most of it!

The Scottish Island of Jura has accidentally been wiped off Google maps, a problem that the Internet monolith is still trying to fix.
The tiny island off Scotland's west coast, which is home to more deer than people, disappeared from Google's map view sometime around July 5. It was still visible in the satellite view.
"That doesn't sound good!" Deadline.com quoted a Google spokeswoman as saying when alerted of the issue. "We are sorry about that. We're aware of the problem, and our engineers are beavering away to fix it," she added.
Based on our latest search, the poor island of Jura is still a block of blue ocean on Google Maps. The only remaining trace of the island's existence is a thin white line marking a road.
Around 200 people live on Jura, who are outnumbered by more than 5,000 deer. It covers an area of about 140 square miles.
This is not the first Google Maps snafu. Last November, geologists discovered that Sandy Island, a Manhattan-sized island that shows up on Google maps and other charts between Australia and New Caledonia, does not actually exist after they sailed right through it.
In the images below, Jura has vanished from Google's "map view" but is still visible in the "satellite view."

The Ithaca Times - Sep 29, '10: The Next Stage
The Next Stage: With the regional premiere of 'Orange Flower Water,' the Actor's Workshop of Ithaca launches its new theater company
By Jim Catalano
The Actor's Workshop of Ithaca, which for several years has focused on teaching its students the famed Meisner Technique of "living truthfully under imaginary circumstance," is branching out. With the regional premiere of "Orange Flower Water" over the next two weekends at Risley Theatre, the Actor's Workshop is launching a full-fledged theater company that will present a full season of shows.
The show also marks the return to the stage of Eliza Van Cort, the Actor's Workshop of Ithaca's founder and leading instructor, as well as Katie Spallone, who also became one of the school's instructors after completing its curriculum of Meisner Technique courses.
Written by Craig Wright of "Six Feet Under" fame, "Orange Flower Water" features a cast of Van Cort, Spallone, Lance Milne and Jonathan Meyoroff under the direction of Amina Omari.
Van Cort chose the play because she wanted to kick off the new company's first season with a strong show.
"This play is really unique," she said. "It pulls no punches. The actors never leave the stage from the moment they step on the stage until curtain call and Wright never plays it safe with the material.
"But maybe more importantly, a lot of our students have said for years they wanted to see me and Katie on stage together. So Katie and I just decided to take the plunge and do this challenging play together. And the touching thing is we have students traveling from literally all over the country to come see us in it."
Spallone added, "I actually thought it was a bit tame until I started to really dig into the text and realized that there was a whole heck of a lot going on. Eliza and I had been trying to find a play the two of us could work on for ages; I had always wanted to do a relationship drama, so I became a bit obsessed and starting reading the play over and over to glean what I could from the text.
"The language is a bit stilted in places, but in retrospect, Wright has written a very character-driven piece, so the text made sense to me after I looked at it from the character's point of view, not the reader's point of view."
Milne said he was "blown away" when he first read the play. "I had such a strong emotional response to it - and normally I read a script pretty objectively - I found myself fighting for/rooting against certain characters, and aspects of the characters," he said. "The voices and emotional lives of the characters are very real and appealing to me. I can really identify with the humanity in each of them."
The set for "Orange Flower Water" is simple, comprising just a bed and four chairs. "Only four people - two married couples - are involved in this world, and they stay on stage to see everything that happens," Omari explained. "The tension of their watching propels the play."
Omari, who had taken classes with Van Cort and Spallone at the Actor's Workshop, initially felt a bit apprehensive about the project. "I apprenticed with Eliza for two years, and she's always been a mentor to me," she said. "I was actually quite nervous when I started directing her - but it's been so rewarding, "Her teacher's mind makes her an really rewarding actor to work with, and she's amazing in this role."
Local banjo player Richie Stearns, a founding member of the Horse Flies, will be doing the music for the show. Stearns reached into his vast repertoire for a solo banjo piece that he uses a baseline for improvising transitions between scenes.
"I love these projects, it's exactly what I want to do these days: put music to movies or plays," he said after a recent rehearsal. "I've never done a play before. It wasn't I saw 'The Grapes of Wrath' a couple of years back when I realized I really like to do a play sometime."
Van Cort chose the play because she wanted to kick off the new company's first season with a strong show.
"This play is really unique," she said. "It pulls no punches. The actors never leave the stage from the moment they step on the stage until curtain call and Wright never plays it safe with the material.
"But maybe more importantly, a lot of our students have said for years they wanted to see me and Katie onstage together. So Katie and I just decided to take the plunge and do this challenging play together. And the touching thing is we have students traveling from literally all over the country to come see us in it."
There will be four performances of "Orange Flower Water," at 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Oct. 1-2 and 8-9, in the Risley Black Box Theatre at Cornell University. Due to mature themes, no one under 18 will be admitted to the play. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students and seniors) and are available at Ticket Center Ithaca (171 E. State St./The Commons), by calling (607) 273-4497 or online at www.tickets.com. Visit www.actorsworkshop.biz or call (607) 339-9999 for more information.
"Orange Flower Water" marks the official launch of the Actors's Workshop of Ithaca Theatre Company, which will produce six more shows in the coming year. Up next is "My Name is Rachel Corrie" (Jan. 13-15), followed by Caryl Churchill's "Far Away" (Jan. 21-22), Jeff Goode's "Poonah the F*ckdog" (and other Plays for Children)" (March 24-26), John Patrick Shanley's "Four Dogs and a Bone" (June 2-4), "Original and Contemporary Monologues" (July 29-30) and "The Jewish Wife (and Other One-Acts)" (Aug. 5-6).
Van Cort was encouraged by the success of the Actor's Workshop's production of "Dog Sees God" earlier this year. But she said her motivation for starting the new company was two-fold.
"Firstly, after teaching for ten years the Workshop has created a pool of a lot of great actors who are acting all over town," she said. "It struck us that we know these actors really well and it would be a blast to work with them and I know a lot of them are doing things all over town and always looking for more to do. So now they can do some of there performing with us!
"And for me personally, the second reason is that I worry people just aren't going to the theater that way they used to," she continued. I'm talking most specifically about people who grew up on TV. When I looked around 'Dog Sees God' I saw people of all ages and that was so incredibly inspiring. I decided I really wanted to do theater that was accessible to non-theatergoers and theater goers alike. It's a fantasy of mine to get people of all stripes turned on to theater.
"Of course, this first show can't completely accomplish that goal b/c no one under 18 can attend. But future shows will definitely draw a younger crowd. 'Poonah the F**ckdog (and other plays for children)' is known to be a huge crowd pleaser, particularly among people in their twenties. Drawing 20-year-olds into the theater who live and die by Blackberries and Facebook would be amazing."
Van Cort said the Company will complement the Actor's Workshop itself "The mission of the Workshop is and always will be to provide affordable, NYC-caliber acting training to people right here in Ithaca," she said. That won't change. Teaching is my passion and if for some horrible reason this season compromised our student's experience in any way, the theater company would go. But I really believe this will be a boon to our students because they will have a place to train and now a place to apply their training in a place they really like with directors they know.
"It will also give them a chance to work with some really seasoned actors because many of our grads who are doing great things in New York City have said they would love to come up to Ithaca to do a show once in a while. So our students will be able to work side by side with professional actors."
Van Cort lists two major goals for the theater company. "One, to have a few of our shows in future seasons have larger casts every season so we can take advantage of all the talent we have at our disposal. The shows this year have smaller casts simply because we wanted to make sure the caliber is consistently excellent and the larger the cast, the more pre- and post production work, the more room for error. So this years shows will be smaller than many of those in the future if all goes as planned.
"Secondly, we hope to pull people into the theater who might otherwise be home in front of their TV," she continued. "I love the communal experience of the theater and hope to have seasons people who aren't regular theatergoers are inspired to attend. This, of course, means we'll have to continue to go off the standard theatrical grid a bit. But as my friend said, I guess we're not your mama's theater company."

We had a bit of a sleep in this morning after our late night at the Ice hockey.
We had a yummy breakfast at a cafe before going for a walk in the city.
After lunch in the city we headed to the hockey field for our next game.
The opposition were much tougher than any of the other teams we have played so far. Our girls played really well, and are starting to look like a team that has been together for ages.
Our new hosts scored 3 goals in the first half, but in the second half our girls really stepped up and won the second half 1-0.
The final result was 3-1 to our hosts which the girls were really proud of.
They were all excited to spend the night with their hosts.

There's no better time than the start of a new year to streamline, simplify, and finally ditch the clutter that's been dragging you down. So, start in the kitchen: the center of your home (and the room that likely needs it the most)! With these 3 simple tips you'll be well on your way to clutter-free counters and cabinets stocked with only your true kitchen essentials:
De-cluttering Your Cabinets & Cookware
When streamlining your kitchen, it's best to take things one section and a time and start from the messiest and most-hidden areas. So, dig deep into those cupboards and determine what you truly use in your kitchen. That stand mixer you got from your wedding registry and never tried? Craigslist. Fancy mandolin and miniature panini press? Sold. Go by this rule: if it hasn't been used in the last six months, it's gone. You'll thank yourself when you're not digging through endless piles of pans to get to the tried-and-true ones you use every week.
De-cluttering Your Pantry, Refrigerator & Freezer
Freezers tend to be a dumping ground for sad leftovers and make-ahead meals. So, start at the place where leftovers linger and de-clutter your freezer once and for all. Throw out anything covered in frost before moving on to the fridge. Here, start by removing everything (even last night's leftovers) and wipe your shelves clean before starting from scratch. Put the items you reach for most (like bottled waters or sodas, fresh fruits and veggies) in the forefront, organize meats and cheeses by expiration date in your deli drawer, and ditch any expired condiments (or ones with crusted-over caps!).
Next, it's time to pore over the pantry. Organize dry food items like pastas, cereals, and grains in well-sealed glass containers, stack your boxed foods with the soonest expiration date toward the front of the shelf, and try to keep your treats organized by type (i.e.: group baking goods like flour and sugar, canned vegetables and soups, and pastas and grains in sections).
De-cluttering Your Countertops
Last but not least, tackle your tops: the counters where clutter and chaos accumulate faster than you can clean. Start by storing small appliances you haven't used in the last month or two and keep only the daily essentials displayed (think: coffee makers or free-standing microwaves). Once de-cluttered, give your surfaces a clean, sparkling shine and display any non-refrigerated produce you use daily (like apples or citrus fruits) in sleek, decorative bowls that coincide with your kitchen decor.

And the number one spot goes to…
Okay, I admit it. I have a weakness for countdown shows. Therefore, it shouldn't surprise anyone that I recorded the recent broadcast of 101 Objects That Changed the World. The program featured beloved objects such as the Rubik's Cube, Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, and the Hope Diamond. Whether singular or universal, each iconic object stirred my memory banks. Even the everyday items like wedding rings, coins, and credit cards, had to spark a response from the average viewer. As the countdown neared its end, my husband and I debated the final outcome. We settled on the Cross of Jesus, but in the end, the number one spot was given to the Bible. How poignant—Our Creator's written word has changed the world; the same world that he spoke into existence, in the beginning.
Throughout the ages, God has faithfully communicated his message to his people. In the Old Testament, he commanded Adam, rebuked Satan, and warned Cain. He instructed Noah, called Abraham, and empowered Moses. He awakened Samuel, chastised Saul and confronted David. He whispered to Elijah, commissioned Isaiah and stopped Balaam. In the New Testament, he blessed Mary, equipped his disciples and taught the masses. Each account, along with many others depicts the various and unique ways that God speaks.
In ancient times, God often spoke audibly to the listener. Sometimes he relayed his message through angels, prophets, dreams or visions. In the New Testament era, God spoke through Jesus and then through believers. Today, by the power of his Holy Spirit, God speaks through his written word. He reveals himself and his ways throughout the inspired pages of Scripture. He speaks ancient words of history, poetry and prophecy, and these intimate words are freely spoken to all who seek his voice.
Before I understood the truth of God's salvation message, I attempted to understand the Bible on my own. I usually started with the book of Genesis, and continued reading until I lapsed into utter confusion somewhere in the book of Leviticus. Sadly, the foreign words made no sense to me at all, and I felt defeated. Thankfully, God understood my plight and illuminated his truth in a way that I could understand. Simply put, God changed my heart with his written word, and he can do the same for you.
There are many study Bibles on the market today, but one rises above the rest—the God Speaks Study Bible.
For years, Richard Mull has faithfully answered God's call to equip people to hear God's voice. His passion for discipleship has finally come to fruition in the form of the God Speaks Study Bible. This God-given work of love is the newest and most exciting way to look at Scripture. It cleverly color-codes every passage where God speaks, making it easy for the reader to connect with God on a more intimate basis.
• Purple is used whenever God speaks in the first person.
• Blue is used when Angels speak on God's behalf or when God speaks through visions or dreams.
• Green is used when a passage talks about God speaking.
• Brown is used when men speak on God's behalf in the third person.
• Red is used for the words of Jesus.
• Gold is used for every miracle and all the Acts of God in Scripture.
God's salvation message depends on our ability to hear his voice. For the sake of our own salvation, and for the salvation of others we must hear him. God's earnest cry can be heard in the Old Testament whenever we read, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (Deut. 6:3-5)." In the New Testament, Jesus reinforces God's yearning every time we read, "Whoever has ears, let them hear." These words appear six times in the Gospels and eight times in the book of Revelation.
The movement begins now. Whether you are a seeker, a new Christian or a seasoned Bible Scholar, everyone benefits from hearing God's voice. Add the God Speaks Study Bible to your daily reading, and you will be well on your way to experiencing God in a more intimate way.
Want to help promote the reading of God's word and encourage people to learn how to hear God's voice? Imagine a color-coded study Bible and multi-media application highlighting when God speaks to you. Operation Light Force (OLF) is a ministry devoted to equipping people to do what Jesus did, setting captives free, healing and preaching. Richard Mull is the President and Founder of OLF and the General Editor of the God Speaks Bible and many other books. He was featured on TV and in the media. Help us spread the word.

Thoughtful web development built on powerful platforms
Your website is the hub of your digital presence - the center from which all of your strategies are built on and feed into. It is the sole digital property you can control and shape into what visitors to your audience will experience.
We will work with you to develop a website based on your needs now and your goals for the future. From concept to launch, we employ the latest best practices for a great user experience, including mobile-friendliness, fast load times and smart SEO.

- Control of Website Content
SEO is a continually moving target and one that needs constant care. More than 60% of consumers will use a search engine to look for something before they buy it and, depending on your target demographic, that percentage is even higher than that.
SEO is a gift though, it gives us the data to track results. Let us build a strategy, deploy a plan and watch the results like a hawk to make your brand rank and continually improve.
We have the brains and the tools to tame SEO to work for you.
Design & Brand Identity
It shouldn't take but a few moments for anyone to rattle off the names of a dozen iconic brands. What probably popped into your head first were their products and their logos.
Your brand is your identity to your customers and shouldn't be taken lightly. We have a creative team that will not only design something beautiful but back it with research and strategy as to why it will appeal to your target audience.
From brochures and business cards, logos, complete brand identity packages, and carrying those concepts over to web and social — we do it all.
Social Media Marketing
Conversations between friends and neighbors in grocery stores and over backyard fences used to drive small business awareness. Today, those discussions happen on social media.
Too many see social media marketing as something out of Field of Dreams: "post it and they will come." It doesn't work that way and it's not something you should entrust to your employee's teenager with a penchant for scrolling.
Social media marketing is serious business. An effective strategy requires research combined with a platform and tactical awareness. Our clients have experienced transformational growth and you can too.
Reputation & Brand Management
Many clients and firms start and stop with SEO as the way to attract leads to their sites. Build a bunch of keywords they will tell you and make sure they get crammed into the page so that you turn up in search results.
The trouble is, this isn't 1998 it doesn't work that way anymore. Now your search results are driven by your reputation as much as anything else. Reviews are the lifeblood of any business both for your business itself and the products you sell.
We are skilled at managing reputations across multiple authorities and building them to levels that get noticed and attract attention. Once you get there we're ready to help you defend your brand as well from the imitators who will surely swoop in with all that newfound attention.
Today's consumer has a short attention span and is constantly bombarded with media from various sources. Video content is one of the constants that has proven to deeply engage consumers and keep their eyes on you and your brand.
We've managed large and extensive video campaigns from high-production how-to and webinar videos to guerilla video marketing on a script written on a napkin and shot on a phone.
We're planners, designers, animators, and dreamers — ready to dream big for your next video that brings in another wave of customers to your brand.
Email Marketing
Often lost in the social and video shuffle, email marketing can be one of your most valuable assets — when done right.
Getting past spam filters is only part of the battle. Waging a successful email marketing campaign and building your list requires strategy and research.
Our team optimizes subject lines and email messaging to improve open and conversion rates and to build relationships. We learn about your customer's desires through the way they interact with your content, and we use that insight to deliver emails they are most likely to value and act on.

Recessione. La parola che nessuno vorrebbe leggere o sentire.
Europa. Germania. La recessione è sempre più probabile.
«For the export-oriented German economy, this risk-cocktail is anything but advantageous.»
Italia. Crisi in vista. Liquidità bancarie salite al 32%, 1,371 miliardi.
Usa. Tassi di interesse nella crux desperationis. La crisi si avvicina.
Ecb. Nuovo Ltro. Intanto il rapporto EurUsd vale
Siamo chiari.
Se la situazione fosse buona e tutto stesse andando per il meglio, la banca centrale europea non avrebbe ripristinato il programma Ltro.
* * *
Giorno dopo giorno si stanno evidenziando segni che prospettano la concreta possibilità di una severa crisi e recessione., e la Germania potrebbe essere uno dei primi paesi coinvolti. Se tutto questo è ben chiaro ai governanti, lo è molto meno alla gente comune.
«Germany is quietly preparing plans to fight a recession»
«Some politicians worry voters are unprepared for what's ahead»
«Chancellor Angela Merkel's government senses trouble brewing for the German economy, but voters don't see the storm clouds»
«There are many global risks currently overshadowing the economy, …. If global risks accumulate further, it might be too much for growth to be sustained»
«Merkel herself has carefully avoided setting off any alarm bells, even as Brexit, China's slowdown and U.S. trade tensions weigh on Germany»
«Bracing for a worst case, the government is prepared to pass a set of recession-busting measures ranging from tax cuts to investment incentives, according to people familiar with the government's plans, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private»
«President Donald Trump's America First protectionism has knocked Germany's export machine off track»
* * * * * * * *
Il punto cardine da comprendere è racchiuso in pochissime parole:
«Bracing for a worst case».
Essere possibile non significa essere probabile e, tanto meno, essere in atto.
Esattamente come l'essere probabile non implica assolutamente il concretizzarsi dell'evento.
Quando però il possibile evento potrebbe rivelarsi drammatico, sarebbe improvvido non valutarlo.
Porre in opera le scale antincendio non significa che a breve si debba manifestare l'incendio: ma non allestirle sarebbe criminale omissione.
Ciò premesso, per cercare di evitare falsi allarmismi oppure ingenui ottimismi, sarebbe da ricordarsi come questo anno elettorale ostacoli in modo consistente l'operato dei politici.
«Some politicians worry voters are unprepared for what's ahead …. voters don't see the storm clouds»
Ci si pone quindi una domanda.
È più importante un sereno rinnovo elettorale oppure che la gente sia resa edotta di quanto stia accadendo?
→ Bloomberg. 2019-03-28. Merkel Doesn't Want to Tell Germans the Good Times May Be Over
– Germany is quietly preparing plans to fight a recession
– Some politicians worry voters are unprepared for what's ahead
Chancellor Angela Merkel's government senses trouble brewing for the German economy, but voters don't see the storm clouds.
That's creating a conundrum for German officials on how to head off risks without sapping further momentum as Merkel enters the final years of her political career. While the government forecasts only a brief slowdown before growth picks up again next year, officials' body language suggests they are preparing for a potentially much harsher outcome.
The leaders preparing to take over when Merkel steps aside are worried too. They say voters could be caught unawares by an economic shock in the middle of the political transition from Merkel's rule. Two senior party officials this month voiced concerns that such a double whammy could shake up the political map ahead of the next election. They asked not to be identified questioning the chancellor's approach.
The clearest sign of the government's anxiety is its risky plan to patch up Deutsche Bank AG through a merger with domestic rival Commerzbank AG. The fact that ministers are prepared to take the political hit for as many as 30,000 job cuts shows just how seriously they take the threat of a recession exposing the country's flagship lender to a potential bailout.
Lawmakers from the governing coalition are also discussing whether they need to loosen the constitutional restrictions on deficit spending. That suggests they are also contemplating a more severe downturn.
Fiscal Firepower
"There are many global risks currently overshadowing the economy," said Matthias Heider, a lawmaker from Merkel's CDU party and a member of the economics committee in the lower house of parliament. "If global risks accumulate further, it might be too much for growth to be sustained."
Merkel herself has carefully avoided setting off any alarm bells, even as Brexit, China's slowdown and U.S. trade tensions weigh on Germany. In an address to the Bundestag last week, she told lawmakers that she foresees "times of growth" ahead, while the outlook for the European Union has become "somewhat clouded."
Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said in a newspaper interview this week that he's prepared to use all the fiscal leeway available to him to stimulate the economy if a crisis hits, though he ruled out changing the rules to make more ammunition available.
Bracing for a worst case, the government is prepared to pass a set of recession-busting measures ranging from tax cuts to investment incentives, according to people familiar with the government's plans, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The proposals are preliminary, and there remain differences within the government over the types of stimulus, with some in Merkel's coalition calling for consumer-focused spending, while others preferring to target businesses, the people said.
While the mechanics of any package are in flux, Germany is in position to flex its financial muscle after years of rigid spending discipline brought public debt down to just 60 percent of output last year. Scholz hinted he may be ready to deploy some of that firepower when presenting his latest budget last week in Berlin, saying that "good, stable finances are the best way to prepare" for a period of greater economic uncertainty.
In her address to the Bundestag, Merkel noted that German debt now fulfills one of the euro area's key stability criteria.
America First Fallout
Germany surged out of the financial crisis a decade ago with robust demand from China for German cars, contributed to a historic run of uninterrupted growth and record-low unemployment. But President Donald Trump's America First protectionism has knocked Germany's export machine off track.
The latest sign came last week, when the Council of Economic Experts slashed its 2019 growth forecast to 0.8 percent from an earlier prediction of 1.8 percent. Its central scenario though is still for a rebound to 1.4 percent next year.
Bolstered by a robust labor market, German consumer confidence remains buoyant — projected for April to be at 10.4 points, a mild dip from a high of 11 points from February last year. The optimism has fueled strong domestic spending, which is taking the sting out of the country's export struggles.
Even if concerns are intensifying in Berlin, the message from Merkel's inner circle is clear: don't rock the boat.
When Scholz told the Bild tabloid in January that "the fat years are over" he was quickly slapped down by Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, a close ally of Merkel.
"One shouldn't undermine the economic upswing by talking it down," Altmaier said.
Since then, Scholz has mainly referred to the country's outlook as a "normalization."

M. Ali Shariati, Gun Ho Lee, Yaping Liao, Stanford School of Medicine; Thinning of the Optic Nerve in Aging and after Ischemia: An Imaging Study Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):3231.

Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (AION) is caused by ischemia at the optic nerve head and is the most common acute optic neuropathy in patients older than 50 years old. We used spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to study anatomic changes during normal aging and following photochemical thrombosis model of AION.
We induced optic nerve head ischemia following rose bengal injection in adult mice using a frequency doubled Nd: YAG laser with low intensity light (400 μm diameter, 50 mW, 1 second duration, 15 spots). We performed circular (12°) and posterior pole (30° H x 25° V) scans and serially measured retinal thickness. With circular scans, we measured the Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC), which included the combined thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, and inner plexiform layer. We also performed posterior pole analysis to measure total retinal thickness. Statistical significance was calculated using Student's t-test.
Using OCT circular scan and manual segmentation, we found there was an aging associated 1.6 µm decrease in the thickness of GCC in one-year-old mice compared with three-months-old mice (three-months: 76.2 ± 0.2 µm, N = 79 eyes; one-year: 74.6 ± 0.3 µm, 2% reduction, N = 72 eyes; P < 0.0001). This thinning of the GCC layer was more prominent after AION. Three-weeks after AION, there was an 8 µm thinning of the GCC (baseline: 74.9 ± 0.9 µm; 3-week AION: 66.6 ± 1.0 µm, 11% reduction; P < 0.0001). Posterior pole analysis showed significant optic disc thinning following AION (baseline: 236.3 µm; AION: 190.9 ± 2.9 µm; 19% reduction, N = 40; P < 0.0001) but no change associated with aging (three-months: 246.7 ± 5.4 µm, N = 380 measurements in 94 eyes; one-year: 249.2 ± 1.0 µm, N = 280 measurements in 70 eyes; P = 0.7).
OCT quantifications of the ganglion cell complex and the optic disc thickness revealed both measurements decreased following AION, while only the ganglion cell complex thinned with aging. After AION, there was initial swelling followed by significant thinning of the ganglion cell complex over 3 weeks. This pattern of change was similar to that of humans but at a more rapid time scale. OCT study of the AION model enabled detail analysis of the retinal and optic disc changes that occur after optic nerve, which may be useful in determining possible therapeutic interventions.
