With a veritable cast of characters aboard, the Ocean Atlantic sailed us from Ushuaia to Antarctica, amidst trials and tribulations, bumps and mishaps, the Drake Passage both directions, and a lot of fool-hearty adventure. She is a beast of an icebreaker, Polish-built and Russian-owned, and has a wild twisted history throughout her years at sea. Mostly known as a naval support vessel, the Ocean Atlantic has also been a smuggler, a brothel, and a mobster haven. There's rumors of murder and hidden gold. Mirrored ceilings were throughout the vessel, surely to give the impression of expanse yet giving off that strip club vibe. Yo, that bitch even got a pool and a sauna. Currently, she's joined the Danish company Albatros Expeditions' fleet. She is indeed one of the strongest ships down south today, newly renovated in 2016, sturdy and stoic.
I had never experienced ship life for more than 5 days prior to this excursion. My Antarctic adventure was double that, and twice across one of the most treacherous passages in the world. I knew it was going to be nothing short of an epic journey, and it did not disappoint. It was nothing like I had expected, but I had no idea what to expect. I was challenged emotionally in many ways - experiencing the sheer size and beauty of the White Continent is overwhelming. The insane magnitude of completing a long-term life goal is still hitting me, and I suspect I will be processing it for quite some time yet. Seeing hundreds of penguins waddling around, whales fluking like it ain't nobody's business, and seals straight chillin' was exhilarating. At times it was lonely, being in the middle of the Southern Ocean (with limited English speakers), and I ended up getting all existential, true to form. We weren't able to complete half of our scheduled landings, forcing everyone to accept the shitty weather and inevitably leading to disappointment. There was almost a goddamn riot when the Chinese were told we couldn't land at the Great Wall Station. Eating Chinese food every day affected my mood as well. I started my period. Oh, and Mercury was retrograde. It was a huge, incomprehensible, unfathomable, indescribable venture into the unknown. It was incredible. It was too short. It kinda felt like a dream.
So let's talk about who was with me.
Behold! as I unfold the colorful cast of characters, with *most* of the names changed:
The Chinese:
Did I mention I was on a Chinese charter? The Ocean Atlantic can hold up to 198 passengers, and about 95% of them were Mandarin speakers. They were a colorful bunch, ranging from a 7 (almost 8!) year old little girl named Beauty to a 68 year old dood with thick blocky tattooed eyebrows. Most were friendly and acknowledged my existence, and others exhibited a varied range of behavior and listening skills. One guy almost severed a thumb clear off in an act of defiance/ignorance, as we were warned (only) at least 200 times not to put a hand in the doorjamb. There were genuine concerns when passengers would wave their flags or shove their stuffed penguins in the real guys' faces. Or when they would bury plastic trinkets or steal rocks. And yeah, it was sometimes tricky to get the shot I wanted, and definitely never found the "quiet spot" we were romantically lied to about in our orientation. The landings were somewhat frantic, as only 100 passengers could be on land at any point. So the other half would zip around in zodiacs, then the groups would swap. No one really listened to the expedition crew who seemed to just be continuously screaming, "ZOLA!" or something like that. I'm not sure what it means in Mandarin but I'm guessing something like "we gotta go" or "hurry the fuck up". One of the expedition crew was an ex-hockey goalie, and she found sadistic pleasure in checking passengers, including me at one point. Weirdly aggressive.
The Chinese also really loved karaoke. They sang their hearts out. For hours and hours. Some were pretty good, but most sounded a bit like mating cats or dying animals. For one evening's events, I sang and danced to 'Billie Jean' while 50 Chinese people filmed me on their phones. I'm famous now. On another evening, I dressed up as the Penguin for their entertainment, and battled The Giant who was portraying the Seal. I called our team the 'Gorgeous Gentoos' and the little girl, Beauty, screamed for like 2 minutes into the mic, thus securing our win. Apparently, whichever side was louder won. 🤷🏼♀ She also bit the Seal, which was totally against the rules, but no one knew until afterwards. She took Penguin loyalty to a new level. I also taught her how to wink. From that point forward she was my shadow and gave me random Chinese candies and the shitty reused chocolate mints the stewards put on everyone's pillow. It's the thought that counts.
I was surprised at how many of the Chinese got motion sick - it was like a ghost town once got out of the Beagle Channel. There were sick bags everywhere, and a few accidents that some unlucky crew member had to mop up. The dining room was desolate for the crossing days. And my roommate was afflicted the worst. Which brings me to…
Yu Wang
Yu + me were roommates for what felt like a million years and a fleeting moment all at the same time. She was a lovely 50-something Chinese woman, traveling solo and seemed a bit nervous about it. Her English was way better than my Mandarin, and we found it easy to be kind to each other. When we first met, she was fresh out of the shower and super surprised to have a foreign roomie (or maybe anyone at all).
For the first evening, she was pretty chill. Then as soon as we hit the Drake, Yu went down. She was violently ill, weak, and unable to eat or move for days. The only times she got out of bed were to go to the bathroom or to attend the mandatory meetings held by the crew. She had a little collection of barf bags around her bed, and the room took on an acrid odor. It was rough. So I just stayed away, getting up at 7AM to go to breakfast and then returning around midnight to sleep.
On Day 3, Yu asked me to get her something from the breakfast buffet. As she lay dying in her bed, she wearily requested I bring her a "sheep horn". She emphasized this by miming a horn coming out of her head. I had no idea what she was talking about, but once in front of the bread selection, realized she meant a croissant. I brought her 2 and she was overjoyed. She took 3 bites then promptly puked it up.
Although she was incredibly lovely, I was really starting to be bummed about the arrangements. I requested a move (twice) - as well as a welfare check on Yu from the ship's doctor. I found salvation via the Jamaican receptionist, Karen, who granted my request and gave me MY OWN ROOM for the remaining 6 days. What a hero.
When I gathered my belongings and left Yu's room, she was eternally grateful. She told me then (as well as again upon our final port back in Ushuaia) that she loved me and will never forget me. Ah, Yu. Ditto, babe.
For those of you worrying about Yu's experience, once we got over the Antarctic Convergence and cleared the rough seas, she was a new woman. Dancin' around like Happy Feet. And on the return trip, she took better drugs and was all smiles on our departure. She insisted on a selfie together. I hope her tales of me are just as fond.
The Frenchman
Actually a Portuguese doctor, we only called him French as a joke and *fortunately* he had a wicked sense of humor. He and I instantly became friends while exchanging eye-rolls during some of the orientation and later over further idiocies. Solid dood, quick witted, genuine and easy to be around. Became my next door neighbor after I swapped rooms. Hung with him and his girlfriend back in Ushuaia for a minute.
The Dutchies
A dynamic and kind couple, he has the name of a king and she has the name of my mother. They mostly stuck to themselves and were the wisest for it. On the first crossing, I saw his yogurt fly off a table when the ship lurched in the Drake Shake. They were part of the kayaking team, extremely courteous and quite lovely.
The Engineer
A 32-year old Michigan native taking a break from his engineering gig on a lengthy solo world tour. Logical and literal, he reminded me a bit of my brother-in-law. Also a complete genius, and was able to quickly and accurately solve a majority of Herry's brain games. He was generous enough to share his super cheap shitty whiskey and boxed wine.
Lil' Googs
This Chinese-American woman is already retired from Google at the age of 24. She's moving on to bigger things. We met while both rushing for the ship, her not talking. Gotta watch those smart quiet ones. She translated Mandarin for all of us internationals and gave us the scoop on what the Chinese were upset about and other dramas. She fell ill with a cold for a majority of the expedition, but somehow burst into Gangnam Style alongside me when I was dressed as the Penguin. She also hacked the karaoke machine and found like 300 English songs which we sang until 2AM on our last night aboard with Rose for her birthday. That chick is going far.
The Giant
I met the Giant the night before we departed, outside of the crab place. He stood out at 6'5" and 300 lbs. Anyone that knows me understands my affinity for giants, and we were quickly friends. He is American as well, and we had some things in common to chat about. As the days went on, I felt that he was hitting on me but I wasn't going there. We had a snafu when I asked to use his computer to back up my images onto my hard drive - and he deleted everything off my cards. I was freaking out! Fortunately, the hard drive wasn't corrupted, but I couldn't read them until I got back to BK. It put a weird pall on our communication, and he never said much after, or even goodbye. 🤔
The Cossack
Ah, this bitch. A Russian self-proclaimed "blogger", it turned out that she was just another basic Instagram "influencer". Sure, she's got some followers, but c'mon - that look is tired. I was wary from the beginning, but really lost that loving feeling once she began body shaming other women and being straight up offensive. I had to verbally bitch slap her at dinner (don't worry, I was very articulate) and let her know that as an "influencer" her words and expressions need to be more open-minded and woke. Needless to say, she didn't talk to me after that. Byeeeeeeee
The Doctors
These two were for sure the most secluded from the rest of the internationals. They met in Doctors Without Borders, he from Czech Republic and her from Fiji/New Zealand, and have traveled together throughout the world. He proposed to her at the Brown Station landing in Paradise Harbor, and The Engineer was there to snap candid photos. They weirdly kept it secret but everyone found out anyhow. Very private and a bit odd.
The Canadians
A married couple from Calgary, the Canadians were on a world-tour as bloggers and photographers. They were both very intelligent and strangely competitive. She was fairly racist. We hung a bit, did some sauna-ing, had a few drinks and laughs. They were also around in Ushuaia after the trip, so we connected a couple of times again.
From Los Angeles, he too was a Chinese-American, although he spoke Cantonese so couldn't quite translate as well as Lil' Googs. We didn't get to know each other that well, but he was kind enough. He definitely had a sarcastic side, which I appreciate.
The Ship Crew
This includes everyone who kept that baby running, from the captain to the maintenance crew to the engineers, most of who stayed hidden behind the scenes or slipped around like thieves in the night. I'm guessing they just didn't want to deal with client relations at all. The captain was a serious Russian, who came out only when required to address the passengers. He was stoic, no nonsense, and straight up did not pull put up with anyone's bullshit. It was almost comical. And all the captains stayed to their own little table, never mingling with the peons. But they didn't crash us, put out the stabilizers on the return Drake crossing, and overall kept the dream alive. Thanks, y'all.
The Expedition Crew
This was a tight group of 22 people who were comprised of expedition leaders, historians, marine biologists, translators, a photographer, an ornithologist and general seafarers. All were very interesting and intelligent, and some were friendlier than others. The expedition leader was extremely capable and experienced, yet seemed to be lacking in a sense of humor. She awoke us every day at 7AM with the obnoxiously loud announcement system, which had a bell chime and every word was then translated into Mandarin. Although her voice was pleasant, the daily greeting of "good morning, good morning" and "welcome to the day" began to take on the tone of Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games. Slightly disturbing.
I actually knew one guy from guiding in Alaska, and another woman was a former colleague of some friends of mine. Small world! Others engaged with me in diverse conversations, ranging from writing a book on sex education for youth to the differences in Chinese/international tourists (they prefer the obedience of the Chinese) to a tour of the ship's hospital. I am hoping to return and be part of this (or another ship's) crew at the end of the year. I feel like I'm better working vs being a tourist - plus, I'll never be able to afford to go there again unless I'm employed!
The Hotel Staff
An international group of professionals, both boisterous and jolly as well as sullen and potentially kept in indentured servitude. Many said they were on 5-9 month contracts, and missed their families and lives in their home countries. They were overall extremely hard workers, and made sure that the rooms were impeccable, the omelet station was on point, the diners were sang to, and the seasickness drugs were administered. Lovely lot.
*Herry - our assigned waiter, who we all though was called "Henry" at first. He was hilarious, kind, efficient and witty. Almost every day he offered us a brain game, which were interesting and challenging.
*Hannah - not our assigned waiter, but she was in the section. She somehow latched on to me, and kept telling me that if she were a boy she would marry me. She made me folded napkin art, usually some type of bird. At first I was a little overwhelmed, but truthfully it was lovely to have someone be so kind, especially since the energy of the boat was kinda weird.
At the end of it all, I wouldn't change a thing - because I can't. It is what it is. All I can hope for is to be able to return and continue creating imagery and memories before climate change inevitably wipes out humanity. Dramatic? Not really. Studies show that the ice is melting at an alarmingly fast rate. Not only that, but the Antarctic Treaty (now consisting of 53 countries) is set to expire in 2048, when the White Continent will once again be "up for grabs" and could potentially end in mining of this precious and pristine land. It's more important than ever that we ALL are ambassadors for this unique and magical place, in hopes that our current generations and those to come will still be able to visit in whatever capacity, to have undeniable adventures, and to continue the legacy of exploration.

I beg you, leave the state of Florida in peace and sanity. Or at least peace. Just go, Mr. Scott.
Until next time,
Political contests, especially in this country where everything focuses on the candidate instead of the party, are high-tension situations. I get that. I get that verbal slips are made in these situations. It's how one reacts to these verbal slips that matters.
One of those slips happened on Tuesday night, when Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders made a comment on television implying that Planned Parenthood and several other progressive interest groups including NARAL and the Human Rights Campaign were part of the political establishment that his candidacy is fighting against. The one thing all of these organizations have in common, other than nor normally being described as establishment and fighting for progressive causes? They've all endorsed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. Interest groups endorse presidential candidates all the time, nothing special or newsworthy about that.
Except in the case of Planned Parenthood. Just two weeks ago news broke that Planned Parenthood was making its first endorsement in a presidential primary ever, and it was endorsing Hillary Clinton over her rival. The head of the organization had the following to say about this endorsement, quoted from above link:
"Let's be clear — reproductive rights and health are on the ballot in 2016," said Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. "We're proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.
"No other candidate in our nation's history has demonstrated such a strong commitment to women or such a clear record on behalf of women's health and rights," she added. "This is about so much more than Planned Parenthood. Health care for an entire generation is at stake."
Before this endorsement, Democrats were united in defending Planned Parenthood from an unprecedented attack from Capitol Hill Republicans who were attempting to starve the organization of funds and shut it down entirely in the same way ACORN was shut down just a few years ago. This is nothing new for an organization that's been breaking barriers since its founding in 1916 when its founding members were arrested for opening a birth control clinic. To this day it vehemently defends reproductive rights and its leading members regularly face harassment and even death threats for doing so. Nothing about that should sound to anyone like an "establishment" organization. And yet, in the middle of a primary that the country is watching closely and considering a referendum on progressive values, many in the Sanders camp are defending rather than even attempting to explain this opinion. If the Sanders campaign wants to be the organization known for defining what it means to be a progressive, it should start by explaining to the American people what a Senator who's been in Washington so long his hair had color to it when he first got there is doing calling a group of dedicated progressive women under daily attack from other politicians in that same city part of the "establishment." I have great respect for the man, but I believe if he's going to fight against the establishment he first has to be honest and acknowledge that he has been an active part of that establishment for decades, as has Hillary, as have most politicians in Washington. Both candidates, in fact, are far more of the establishment than Barack Obama, a Hawaiian born to a mixed race family, raised in Indonesia, the product of public schooling, former community organizer. If you want someone with a legitimate anti-establishment background, Barack's your man.
Maybe asking who's pro "establishment" is the wrong question. Maybe Senator Sanders and Mrs. Clinton both should be asking themselves a far more important question: if they actually have what it takes to succeed the most successful American president since at least FDR.
Oh, the things I see on the pages of conservatives I'm friends with on Facebook. I'll be the first to admit that I troll their walls as a means of finding things to write about. There, I said it. No shame, but neither am I proud.
Rather than touching on this for factual clarity, I want to point out something that this freaky meme has backwards: diction.
It has long been a joke between my twin sister and I that the "author uses diction." This should be obvious to anyone who has ever been through high school English class, but sometimes fails to sink in. Word choice is one of the most important things in our society from books to movies to games. See the video I link to at the end for more on that – it's a fun watch and very informative.
Here, whoever made up this little image that was, doubtlessly, shared all around Facebook, implies that it is wrong that stricter gun control tries to go into effect in the wake of 90 deaths; while it is equally wrong that Planned Parenthood gets federal funding for 3000 murders each year.
Let's roll back right there. First off, we don't "lose" people to gun violence. People are taken from the human race by other people with guns, many of whom are probably unable to understand what they've done on an empathic level. Most of these "losses" are murder.
Whereas Planned Parenthood doesn't "murder" 3000 babies every day. There are approximately 3000 abortions in America each day and in excess of 100,000 world wide in the same span. These aren't murder, but are an informed decision on the part of a woman and a doctor that impregnation does not a child make.
I'm not sorry; a fetus isn't a child; it's potential that can bless or ruin a person or family and it's their choice, not yours, whether or not that potential is met. I'm not sorry you're hurt over the NRA taking slag for the last year of shootings. I am tired of watching my President (almost) in tears because there has been a shooting almost every day for the last year and a half. I'm tired of the killings and the damned morons cradling a gun in one hand and their limp, impotent life in the other that I call countrymen.
So let's back off of Planned Parenthood and worry about the real problem: people with guns who think using their guns to get their way is a good idea.
Use your words.
Until next time,

Group DescriptionSome folks like to celebrate the history of the Main Line of Mid-America through the building of models. Although the primary focus is IC/ICG modeling this group is not limited to just modeling since most modelers participate in other railroad related activities. Feel free to talk about anything from railfanning to railroad modeling and proto-type railroad news. You are encouraged to list your railroad related events in the calendar area and post your pictures in the file section. We'll try to organize the file section to make it easy to find what you are looking for. Your help and feedback in this area is greatly appreciated.
All we ask is that you be courteous and railroad related with your posts. The posting of messages is unmoderated and members must sign their posts with a real name.

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a truce between the two countries' trade war after a meeting Saturday at the G20 summit in Argentina.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump promised not to go through with a planned hike -- from 10 percent to 25 percent -- on $200 billion worth of Chinese products.
In exchange, Xi agreed to purchase a "very substantial" amount of agricultural, energy and industrial product from the United States.
"It's an incredible deal. It goes down, certainly -- if it happens, it goes down as one of the largest deals ever made," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his trip back to Washington, D.C. "And it'll have an incredibly positive impact on farming, meaning agriculture, industrial products, computers -- every type of product."
Earlier in the evening, Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council under Trump, said the meeting went "very well."
China's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that Xi said he was glad me meet Trump and was looking forward to sharing more views "on issues of common concern." Xi added that he believed cooperation was the best option for both countries.
Xi said earlier he believes the leaders of the world's two largest economies "have good visions for a healthy and stable development of China-U.S. relations as well as for the expansion of economic and trade cooperation."
The two countries have been locked in a trade war this year with both extending tariffs on items each country exports to the other.
A statement from Sanders said the two parties planned to complete negotiations in 90 days on U.S. concerns over intellectual property, non-tariff barriers, cyber theft and cyber intrusions.
Additionally, Xi, "in a wonderful humanitarian gesture," agreed to label fentanyl, an opioid, as a controlled substance. The move would make sales of the substance to the United States eligible for the maximum penalty in Chinese law.
"This was an amazing and productive meeting with unlimited possibilities for both the United States and China. It is my great honor to be working with President Xi," Trump said.

The Hammer and Nigel Show
H&N: Kevin Bowen from 1070 The Fan Previews Colts vs. Jaguars
Is Sunday Really a Lock for The Colts?
Nov. 09, 2018
(Icon Sportswire/Getty Images)
The Indianapolis Colts have won two games in a row behind an improving offensive line. The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost four in a row and look nothing like the team that make last year's AFC Championship game.
So this is lock for the Colts, right? Well ...
Quarterback Blake Bortles has already been benched once this season, but he has been effective against the Colts.
Running back Leonard Fournette is back from a hamstring injury.
Jacksonville's defense, even with recent slip-ups, is stronger than the two the Colts previously faced.
So how will things play out Sunday? Kevin Bowen of 107.5 and 1070 The Fan joined WIBC's Hammer and Nigel show Friday afternoon to break it down:

Keep the curtain drawn and the record on
It's always more fun to watch a win than a loss but we weren't afforded that luxury at Pawtucket yesterday. Still, the game was fun, the weather was nice and we got to see some good pitching (Randor Bierd pitched much better than the final score indicates and R.A. Dickey, for the Bisons, was pretty damned impressive and seeing Alan Embree take the mound was exciting – especially since he pitched so well). It was a great day for a baseball fan who loves pitching – just wish it ended better for the PawSox.
The Red Sox proper are wearing me out. I'm thrilled for the winning but wish it came with a little less drama. How many of you turn the channel or (like me) at least hit the volume when Papelbon comes in? For someone so dynamic he's almost unwatchable for me right now. The two three-run homers in the 7th, though? I could take more of that, thanks!
No matter, I guess. Sox have two wins against the Baltimore and are going for the sweep as I write this. The upcoming week sends the Sox to Toronto and then Baltimore…how about a winning streak, fellas?

Courses & Workshops
I host seasonal 2-day and 3-day, courses in my new studio in Hampshire. I also teach on workshops at The Eden Project, in Cornwall, RHS Rosemoor in Devon, and other art groups and societies including The South West Society of Botanical Artists SWSBA , The Bath Society of Botanical Artists, The Gloucester Botanical Society, and Field Breaks residential workshops in Derbyshire. In 2019 I am also teaching on the SBA residential week course in Wales. *See bottom of page for information on 'Additional Courses and workshops elsewhere'.
My new, purpose built studio is situated in my garden, adjacent to beautiful countryside in the Test Valley, and is an ideal location to get absorbed in botanical art.
I am passionate about sharing my love of botanical painting - I love teaching beginners as well as those with experience, and I have been teaching since 2008. A tried and tested step-by-step approach allows beginners to realise they can achieve their goal, and they can then go on to perfect their individual style with time and practice. More advanced techniques are shared with the more experienced artist. Artists may work on paper or vellum on all my workshops.
The Studio is beautifully lit, and includes an extensive library of reference books.
My classes are small and friendly ( a maximum of 8), allowing plenty of time for individual guidance and tuition. All students are encouraged to develop and work at their own pace.
Individual, one-to-one, tuition is popular - please contact me to arrange dates, and for costs. I can offer practical advise to those working on submissions to the RHS, art society submissions, diplomas, or even a Florilegium.

CURIO - A Curated Explorational Experience
team: zach bachiri, katie herzog, joseph hines, mary tsai
class: interaction design studio
duration: fall 2017 - 4 weeks
Create a system that allows museum visitors to connect more personally with content within the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Write your own brief based off of observation and research done at the museum.
CMNH Curio is a system that allows museum visitors to curate their own museum experience. Through this experience, they will discover larger themes within the museum and learn about their own interests. The system will allow for a deeper connection with museum content, a more active visitor experience, and the generation of valuable data for museum staff.
Curio consists of four main touchpoints: a visitor tag, object plaques, a digital reflection wall, and a mobile web app.
We were tasked to create our own brief for this project and after careful observation and research of the museum, we identified several opportunities to enhance the visitor experience.
1. First, we discovered that museum visitors are not engaging as deeply with content in the museum as they could be. Traditional museum plaques present content in a static way, creating a passive relationship between viewer and information.
2. Second, while content is grouped into exhibits and displays, the museum lacks a visible way to construct thematic narratives across exhibits. This makes it difficult for visitors to find meaning in their experience as a whole, and limits the museum's ability to present new and diverse subject matter.
3. And finally, there is room for greater dialogue between visitors and the museum. Currently, the transfer of information is primarily one-way, from the museum to the visitors without the opportunity for visitors to find their own voice.
With our objectives in mind, we began ideating solutions to our design challenge. Through generative design exercises, conversations with museum staff, and exploration of past precedents, we created a number of concepts to consider. We also used multiple design research methods such as Contextual Inquiry, Fly-on-the-Wall, Roleplaying, and Expert Interviewing.
Points of Intervention
User Flow
After discussing and researching with the museum, we established four existing themes across the museum: anthropological, biological, geographical, and anthropocentric. These themes are the context for the Curio system. All objects in the museum will be categorized with one or more of these themes.
Color Change
As a user collect objects throughout the museum, their tag will change color to reflect the new themes of the objects they collect. The tag color will act as a type of passive navigation tool for visitors, implying connections between their color profile and museum objects. This obscure exploration will help encourage discovery of new objects.
Digital Plaques
With the goal of minimizing both cost and impact to museum infrastructure, we included digital as well as analogue plaques to accommodate existing displays.
The smaller, analogue plaques and stickers were designed for minimal visual impact, while the larger, digital plaques are equipped to deliver multimedia content, allowing for deeper visitor engagement as well as flexibility in terms of material rotation.
If implemented, Curio creates opportunities for museum staff far beyond those presented above. Data gathered will generate insights that can aid staff in making more informed decisions and engaging with visitors in a deeper way. Marketing and curation efforts can be more responsive to visitor interest.
Popular Objects
Staff will be able to see the exact number of times an object has been collected, and because objects will be categorized with the four themes enumerated above (Anthropological, Anthropocentric, Biological, Geological), staff will be able to identify the larger thematic interests of the museum's visitor base. This data would aid staff in planning new exhibitions with a better understanding of the content visitors are likely to respond most to.
Profile Signups
Curio will create a compelling reason for visitors to create email-based CMNH accounts. To save their after-museum profile and keep an ongoing collection, visitors must signup. These profiles will create a much larger set of users which whom the museum can engage.
Targeted Marketing
With these profiles created, and the data associated with them, CMNH will be much more informed about individual visitors. This information can then be used for more intelligent, targeted marketing. Based on a visitor's interests, a curated list of events can be generated and timed emails can be sent. Language of emails can even be tailored to meet the thematic interests of visitors.

Central School Issues Statement In Response To Protests
Students from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama recently organised a walkout "for equity, diversity and inclusion", protesting the institution's inequalities and comments made by Principal Gavin Henderson at a Dear White Central event - read more here.
The Governing Body of Central has today released the following statement in response:
Events of the past few weeks, including 'Dear White Central' and 'Central for Change' student campaigns and the peaceful walkout held at the School on Friday 11 May 2018, have raised important issues. For that, we thank the students involved, although we recognise the process has been particularly difficult for BAME members of our community. We are committed to moving forward collectively to make change. Following its meeting last night, the full Governing Body of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (Central) would like to issue the following statement.
Central values, embraces and is totally committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. Central's mission to shape the future of theatre and performance in the UK and beyond is contingent on a diverse and inclusive student and staff body. Excellence requires diversity as this brings richness, knowledge, innovation, new understandings and skills.
The School and its leadership team would like categorically to state that it does not believe that student quotas or targets are in themselves a risk to standards or quality. Neither does Central associate the recruitment of students or staff from any socio-economic or ethnic background or with any protected characteristic, with a particular risk to standards. The standards to which the School works are set by industry employment needs and academic quality frameworks, and the reputation of Central reflects the excellence of its graduates and the teaching and research its staff carries out.
Central stands against racism, but institutional racism can be unconscious and structural. While good work is already being done in this area, we can do better and will accelerate our programme for change:
- Commission an external and independent review of the principles, practices and processes of diversity and inclusion within all aspects of Central's work
- Increase student membership on the Access, Participation, Progression and Inclusion Committee
- Extend and accelerate a programme of unconscious bias training for the Governors and all staff including the Principal, including key visiting staff and audition panel members
- Create and advertise a new role of Inclusion and Diversity Fellow to work with the School in placing best practice in diversity and inclusion at the heart of its mission
- Improve communications within and beyond the School on existing Outreach, Diversity and Inclusion work and new initiatives (including a section in weekly newsletter on related news, internal events and training; reminders of ways of reporting and raising issues)
- Develop further induction materials for all new students, staff (visiting and permanent) and visiting professionals, on inclusive practice
- Review and extend existing BAME student admissions targets, and remove any identified barriers to access and progression
- Implement an action plan from the recent audit of diversity within the curriculum including public productions
- A member of the Governing Body will be joining a meeting at Central later this week to talk directly to members of staff and Students' Union Officers and this is expected to generate further discussion and action.
There will be frequent reporting back to Governors and the wider community on what has been achieved and continues to be accomplished/undertaken.
Together we will work to make Central a beacon of good practice in diversity and inclusion.

If you think about it, some of the simplest things in life can make your day.
1. Flowers
I always have fresh flowers, a plant or an orchid in my home. It doesn't have to cost much. Every grocery store sells them, even Trader Joe's, Home Depot and Target. For less than $20.00 you can add some beauty to your home or office. I love orchid plants because they will last for months and even years.
2. Hugs
They don't cost a penny and in my opinion nothing feels better. Do not underestimate the human touch. It affects you physically, emotionally and spiritually right to your core. Think of all the single people in the world, who do not have a spouse or children surrounding them daily. A hug can make their day.
The first think I do when I see my nieces and nephews is encourage a running start and leap into my arms for the best hug in all the world! However, I have cautioned my 7 year old niece not to do this with her 78 year old Grandmother. The hug may be nice, but not the fall.
3. A Compliment
Have you ever received an unexpected compliment and thought to yourself how it made your day? I promise that if you give, you will receive. Always be kind and honest with your compliments. The recipient will smile and treasure your compliment all day long.
4. A Phone Call
I may be "old school", but a text or email never compares to a phone call. It is always nice to reach out and be contacted by phone. There is no comparison to hearing someone's voice. The warmth, tone and inflections reach through the phone unlike written texts and emails that can often be misconstrued. Go ahead… call someone today.
5. Mail
The exception to #4 is a handwritten note. An unexpected note received via "snail mail" is a wonderful surprise. It will be treasured whether it sits on a bureau, is taped to the refrigerator or is preserved for years to come. My Mom recently showed off the notes that she received in the mail. I know that they made her day.
6. A Surprise
Whether it is one of the simplest things above, a package in the mail, a gift or a combination of any of these things, it will bring a smile to any recipient's face.
I was surprised when I received a knock on my door on Valentines' Day. I opened the door to see a very tall delivery man holding a huge bouquet of flowers. I was not expecting them and honestly, couldn't imagine who sent them. I said to the man, "I don't know you so I know they are not from you". He smiled. When I opened the card, I was surprised and overwhelmed with the kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity of my childhood friend, Christine. We try to get together, but we are both busy. She is a teacher and has a husband and kids. When we do chat, it is like we saw each other yesterday. I can not tell you how she made my day. A trifecta: flowers, a gift and a surprise! Thank you, my friend.
Just remember that it truly is the simple things in life that make us happy.

Belgium vs England Live Streaming (3rd Place Playoff) How to watch World Cup third-place play-off without paying a penny: This match is going to be the second last match of the FIFA World Cup 2018 between Belgium and England. The winner of this match gets the third place since both of them were knocked out of the semi-finals. Croatia defeated England and France defeated Belgium to qualify for the finals and leaving these two teams back. Now, the winner of this match will get the third place in the FIFA World Cup 2018 and the loser will get the fourth place. So basically, only the rank is on a stake and nothing else. Belgium vs England live streaming will also be made available on applications and websites because this match will be watched by many.
Belgium vs England Match Details
Team: Belgium vs England
Date: 14th July 2018
Time: 17:00 Local time, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Saint Petersburg Stadium St. Petersburg
TV Channels: BBC (UK), Fox (US
This match between Belgium and England will be played for the third place in the tournament. 14th July 2018 is when the match is going to happen at Saint Petersburg Stadium. The match will start around 10:00 PM (CST).
Final match: Croatia vs France live streaming
The final match of the FIFA World Cup 2018 will definitely be the attraction this week but no one would ignore this match as well. This is because these two teams are very strong and potentially, they will put on a great match. Belgium will seem much pressure when they walk to the field on Saturday. This is because England has just played the semifinal match with an extra 30 minutes. Belgium is definitely on the safest side.
It is not a shock that Belgium is supported over England because they have always been the better team in this year's tournament. The team is packed with more talents.
On the other hand, England has Harry Kane who is the leading goal scorer of this year's tournament. He can secure the spot for the golden boot if he hits some goals in this match. Actually, even otherwise he has your chances of getting the golden boot because the leading players from France and Croatia would have to hit 3 goals individually in the final match to level the number of goals with Harry.
Belgium vs England Head To Head And Predictions
The previous records say that England is a better team because they have played a total of 22 matches against each other out of which 15 were won by England. Only three victories go to Belgium with 4 matches being drawn. It is a difficult prediction that anybody would have to make.
I personally think that Belgium would win the match against England for the third place.
Belgium vs England Team news
Goalkeepers: Koen Casteels (Wolfsburg), Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea), Simon Mignolet (Liverpool).

Officer-involved shooting leaves one man dead near Kingwood
According to police, suspect threatened officer, residents with firearm
One man is dead after a Montgomery County Precinct 4 deputy shot him multiple times following what Houston Police Department officials describe as a tense chase and struggle early Monday afternoon.
HPD is investigating the shooting with the help of the Texas Rangers and the Harris County District Attorney's office.
According to police, the stop should have been routine and uneventful. But a police chase began after an Montgomery County deputy ran the license plate of a man's motorcycle shortly before 1:30 p.m. near Kingwood.
The search returned a invalid license and the office attempted to pull the suspect over, but the motorcyclist fled.
During the chase, the officer lost sight of the alleged suspect, but a few moments later, a second deputy spotted him and resumed the pursuit.
While trying to evade arrest, the driver crashed his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot.
While fleeing, the man approached a second man at a nearby car wash and attempted to hijack his car.
The two men struggled for control, according to police.
Once the officer arrived, he attempted to Tase the suspect, but the weapon had no effect.
The suspect turned his attention toward the deputy and away from the man at the car wash. According to HPD, the man reached into his backpack during the struggle and pulled out a firearm.
The officer then reached for his weapon and shot the suspect multiple times, according to police.
The man died at the scene and the officer and residents nearby were reportedly unharmed. Police are still reviewing video surveillance and cellphone footage from the scene.
The officer-involved shooting is still under investigation by HPD.

Rush Radio Comes To Florida
Update 4/25: WPHR made the move to Talk "Rush Radio 94.7" this morning after stunting for a few hours with nothing but music from the band "Rush". None of the programming is originating in-house. The station's schedule is:
5am – 9am: The Morning Rush with Jim Edwards and Brian Mudd simulcasted from sister 1290 WJNO West Palm Beach
9am – 12pm: Glenn Beck
12pm – 3pm: Rush Limbaugh
3pm – 6pm: Sean Hannity
6pm – 9pm: Mark Levin
9pm – 12am: Jason Lewis
12am – 5am: Coast to Coast
Update 4/22: When we are wrong we're not going to shy away from it. In running down the possibilities for Rush Radio 94.7 we forgot to mention Aloha Station Trust's WPHR Gifford, FL.
That station, currently Hot AC "Star 94.7" will make the move to News/Talk with the "Rush Radio" branding on Monday, April 25. WPHR main serves the Vero Beach and St. Lucie areas on the east coast of Florida in between West Palm Beach and Melbourne.
Original Report 4/18: The News/Talk to FM shuttle continues to to claim more markets at record speed. Clear Channel is on the verge of adding another market to the list. Their registration last week of RushRadio947.com seems to indicate that 1000 KTOK Oklahoma City or the tandem of 1450 WILM Wilmington and 1410 WDOV Dover, DE will soon be heading to the FM band.
The likely destination appears to be Oklahoma City, where Classic Rock "94.7 The Brew" KBRU has seen its ratings erode continuously over the past year, well behind its two competitors for the Rock audience in the market; Citadel's 100.5 KATT and Renda's 107.7 KRXO.
A less likely, but still possible destination is in Delaware where 1450 WILM and 1410 WDOV currently run very similar programming on the pair of AM signals. The addition of the FM signal would give coverage of the northern two thirds of Delaware as well as neighboring portions of Maryland and New Jersey. Should Talk move to FM in Delaware, the country programming currently heard on 94.7 WDSD will most likely shift back to 92.9 replacing Variety Hits "Tom-FM" WRDX. WDSD has already made the move from 94.7 to 92.9 and back to 94.7 in its history. Too much seems to have to happen to make this scenario likely.
Clear Channel also owns WFBQ Indianapolis on 94.7, but market conditions seem to rule the successful Classic Rock station out as a possibility. We'll put our money on KBRU being the station to take the RushRadio identity on 94.7 in the coming weeks.

Rockefeller "horizontal integration—allied with competitors to monopolize a given market
Rockefeller Rockefeller provided major funding for a college in Atlanta for African-American women that became Spelman College (named for Rockefeller's in-laws who were ardent abolitionists before the Civil War). The oldest existing building on Spelman's campus, Rockefeller Hall, is named after him. Rockefeller gave $80 million to the University of Chicago turning a small Baptist college into a world-class institution by 1900. Rockefeller also provided financial support to Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley and Vassar.
Carnegie Veritical Integration—controlled all aspects of an industry One of the earliest, largest and most famous examples of vertical integration was the Carnegie Steel company. The company controlled not only the mills where the steel was manufactured but also the mines where the iron ore was extracted, the coal mines that supplied the coal, the ships that transported the iron ore and the railroads that transported the coal to the factory, the coke ovens where the coal was cooked,
Carnegie's Philanthropy $ The Anglo-Saxon race is superior. $ "Gospel of Wealth" (1901). $ Inequality is inevitable and good. $ Wealthy should act as "trustees" for their "poorer brethren." $ To sum up: The wealthy entrepreneur must assume the responsibility of distributing his fortune in a way that it will be put to good use, and not wasted on frivolous expenditure
Libraries By the first few years of the 20th century, Carnegie had refined the giving of libraries into a neat, streamlined procedure. Over 33 years, he provided funds for 2,811 libraries in all, including 23 in New Zealand, 13 in South Africa, and one in Fiji. Ordering a library from Carnegie was as easy as ordering a sofa from the Sears Catalog.

Gustavus Swift (1839-1903) headed a large American corporation that revolutionized the meatpacking industry by using refrigerated railroad cars, strict cost controls at his plants, and "vertical integration." His practices helped overcome consumer mistrust of processed meat and inspired the vast, mechanized meatpacking businesses depicted in Upton Sinclair's infamous 1906 novel "The Jungle".

"My Goal is to raise one dollar per foot OF ELEVATION THAT I Climb."
- Sara
I'm pushing myself far beyond what I believed was possible in order to create awareness and raise funds for organizations, worldwide, that empower women.
Empower Nepali Girls Foundation supports and empowers neglected, marginalized, and at-risk girls and young women in Nepal, especially those who at greatest risk of being forced into early marriage, sold into sex slavery, or abandoned as orphans.
They provide scholarships, mentoring, career guidance, and subsistence for children who would not have the opportunity to attend school and pursue future careers in medicine, engineering, business, teaching, and other professions.
I have served with their international team of volunteers, met the students, and seen the impact the program has had on the lives of its participants. That is why I'm committed to supporting the scholarship recipients they serve.
I have have also built strong connections with the Nepali girls. They are smart, creative, driven, and courageous and I love seeing them prosper despite their situations. I am proud of the Empower Nepali Girls Foundation and I'm grateful to be a part of it.
I'm summiting Kilimanjaro to raise funds and awareness for the Kupona Foundation, to provide the basic medical treatments for women living with, and recovering from, obstetric fistula in Tanzania. The women they treat go from being outcasts in society to living normal lives with the help of a simple procedure. Without the help of this organization, these women would not have access to this medical service.
Since 2009, the Kupona Foundation has raised over $3 million to support treatment, training, capital projects and organizational development for the health care organization called Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation (CCBRT). They connect CCBRT with technical support to fill critical resourcing gaps on the ground, while supporting efforts to strengthen healthcare systems in Tanzania and further afield.
I have met some of these women and they are strong and hopeful women that inspire me beyond words. I was able to witness the success that the medical treatment has on these women, giving them their confidence back by providing them with the opportunity to heal, learn, and grow.
The OMID Foundation is committed to strengthening the social, emotional and economic opportunities of disadvantaged young women in Iran, through a two and a half year residency program.
They provide them with a sense of self worth and opportunities in three key areas: self-empowerment, education and training.
Through a holistic approach, they help these young women learn to be treated with respect, dignity and kindness. The women leave the program feeling proud, strong and able to live their lives confidently within their society.
I had the privilege to visit the Omid Foundation in Tehran, and was inspired by the amazing and powerful girls I met there.

The only way to soak up the holiday spirit faster than being visited by three (nudgy) ghosts is to take a peek at these amazing Christmas events happening all over the Ocean State.
In the spirit of the holiday, let's just stick with the "Christmas Carol" theme:
This year's theme is "A Family Gathering" and runs through Jan. 1. Van Wickle family diary entries give us a glimpse into the family's Christmas and New Year traditions, allowing the museum to recreate the Christmas weekend at Blithewold in 1910.
What is better than a Victorian Christmas? Hearthside has received countless accolades about its authentic rendition of Victorian Christmas traditions and decorations. Stop by for a visit Dec. 8, 9, 28 or 30.
The classic Christmas children's tale comes to life once again in Blackstone Valley through Dec. 23. Enjoy sing-a-longs, hot chocolate served in a souvenir mug, delicious cookies, games, and a special visit from Santa where he personally delivers the first gift of Christmas to every child.
The Preservation Society of Newport County goes out of its way each year to put on a spectacular Christmas display at The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House. With music, tours and plenty of programming, you're bound to find something new and exciting at each of the mansions through Jan. 1.
With the guidance of Ocean House's culinary team, local culinary students compete to craft the best gingerbread creations, which will be on display on Dec. 12. The final products create a Gingerbread Village and chefs vote on the final winner. You can use this as inspiration for your future family gingerbread creations. Who doesn't love a friendly (and edible) competition this time of year?
The Pawtucket Arts Collaborative is home to this second annual winter market on Dec. 8 and 9. What sets this market apart is that all of their 28+ makers and artists work with handcrafted, up-cycled and vintage treasures. Each piece is unique, and you'll find something for everyone on your list. Perhaps even a few things for yourself!
Sharing these awesome events with your family and friends will make them happier than when Scrooge woke up and realized he had time to make up for his horrible behavior ... hopefully.

Science definitions for red alga
red alga
[ rĕd ]
Any of various photosynthetic protists belonging to the phylum Rhodophyta. Most red algae are marine seaweeds, with bladelike or filamentous bodies. Others deposit calcium carbonate in their cell walls and grow as crusty layers on rocks, and these species are essential reef-building organisms. Unicellular forms are also known, and a few red algae live in fresh water. Red algae have chlorophyll a as well as pigments called phycobilins, which impart the reddish colors characteristic of the group. Phycobilins absorb the blue and green wavelengths of light that reach deeper coastal waters where red algae are abundant. Red algae often show complicated life cycles involving an alternation of a haploid generation with two distinct diploid generations, both of which produce a different kind of spore. Their cell walls are made of cellulose and gelatinous polysaccharide compounds, some of which have commercial value. Agar and carrageenan are extracted from red algae, and the genus Porphyra is cultivated and dried to make nori, the edible seaweed used in sushi. See more at alga.

Isn't he cute?! :)
I found him over on Ravelry, along with a ridiculous amount of other projects I want to make. Next I think I'm making a hat. Which is totally besides the point. Here's the Ravelry Pattern Link. To the octopus, not a hat. (Although, I really, REALLY want to make this hat for my boss for some reason: Shark Hat! Maybe his birthday in Jan. What 28yo fisherman with a good sense of humour wouldn't like that hat?)
When making this octopus, you have to remember that he needs 8 legs. And even if you know this, and think I'm a moron for pointing out that an OCTOpus has 8 legs, it's different when you have to make those eight legs. It's boring. And just as I get into the rounds I have to stop! So I guess I'm complaining that they are boring, but too short? Haha, I'm totally running on pure caffeine at this stage, its 6:10am and I've slept about 8 hours in the last three days, now. And for no reason, other than reading and crochet. Which are, always will be, and always have been totally valid reasons for losing sleep. :)
Aaand, back to octopus tips:
Just tack the legs into place so that when they aren't lined up properly, you can replace them easily.
This took me a few goes:
He's not perfect, but I'm not moving those legs again. I just couldn't get them any better! They're sewed on tight this time.
My lovely blue octopus has plastic hacky-sack-type beads in his body/head, and aquarium filter wool in his legs (I upgraded my aquarium filter and no longer need the excess wool... figured it may as well go to a good cause!) I put both of the types of stuffing materials into a cheap nylon stocking first to keep the beads in place, and so that the whiteness of the stuffing didn't show so clearly. I'll do it again next project too, it's useful, especially for the beads.
Used a 4.0 hook for this, and about half of a 50g ball of wool which had a recommended needle size of 5mm. And two plastic safety eyes.
Anyone know why they are called safety eyes?

About the Garden
The UNCA Sol Garden, located behind Brown Hall, is a student led community garden that focuses on facilitating educational opportunities for students and community members of all backgrounds and disciplines. In doing so the garden becomes a platform for discussion surrounding a variety of topics, from sustainable food production to food access and greater food sovereignty. The Sol Garden is an experimental space dedicated to annual and perennial production of vegetables, fruit, herbs, medicines, and pollinator friendly plants. It is a space where one can take first steps into the insightful world of growing plants and discussing the greater implications of doing so. Our mission is to connect people around growing food and to build community in doing so. The SEC is dedicated to providing engaging, hands-on learning experiences in an inclusive environment for all members of our community. To address the often inaccessible structure of communal gardens and other green spaces, the layout of the Sol Garden is designed for volunteers of all levels of mobility and able-bodiedness.
What are the Garden Hours?
Friday | 2:00 - 5:30pm
Sunday | 3:00 - 6:30pm
How do I get Involved?
Throughout the school year and the summer term, garden managers hold open garden workdays that will be posted on our Campus Gardens Facebook page. Our current Sol garden manger, Sabrina Staton (firstname.lastname@example.com), would also love to hear from interested students and community members.
