But the Enlightenment turned that idea on its head. The idea was the scientific method that started with observation rather than inspiration, and built up a pyramid of understanding. First, by the process of induction, many observations were made, seen to be consistent, and they lay at the base of knowledge (All the swans I've ever seen are white, therefore all swans are white). Other types of generalization built upon this base, to the top of a pyramid of understanding, the final theory that we infer from facts.
When Darwin published his theory of evolution, of descent with modification screened by natural selection, from a common ancestral form, it was a challenge to accepted wisdom. The scientific method was well established, but religious explanations of life were rife. Darwin's theory certainly challenged this big-time!
Now, Darwin amassed countless facts--it was one of his incredible fortes. From these he inferred his theory, and on the face of it this would seem to be the scientific method if anything was. But the geologist and former friend and teacher of Darwin's, Adam Sedgwick, was rather incensed by the theory of evolution. Sedgwick was a seriously Christian believer, and could not abide this threat to all that he held dear. He lambasted Darwin, not explicitly because Darwin contradicted biblical explanations, but because Darwin's theory was (in our words) Aristotelian rather than Baconian: it was incorrect, old-fashioned and not real science at all!
Inverted pyramid, the Louvre |
In various discussions of this topic then and since, it appears that Darwin largely conceded the formal point, but of course stuck to his guns. He could (and we can) predict new facts, but they are details that can immediately be fitted (or, Sedgwick would perhaps argue, be retro-fitted) into the theory. Yes, there was diversity in the world, but this could arise by other processes (such as special Creation) and the theory of evolution was not the only explanation as a result. It was not, argued Sedgwick, properly inductive.
One could argue that we have used this theory in so many ways, modeled mathematically and experimentally in artificial selection, to predict formerly unknown phenomena about life, that the theory has clearly stood the test of time. Many facts about the one process on earth, could be used to generalize about the process as if it could be repeated. We argue that different species in different places each do represent replicate observations from which the process of evolution can be induced. Or, one could argue, inductive reasoning is just one way of getting at convincing accounts of the nature of Nature.
One might even go all the way with Aristotle, and say that for the very reason that evolution did occur, our brains were adapted (by Darwinian processes!) so that we are built to understand Nature! The argument probably wouldn't hold much water, but it's a thought. In any case, the fact that evolution only occurred once does suggest that the idea was cooked up by Darwin in a non-inductive way--even if his theory was built upon countless observations, but of one single process.
The triumph of the Darwinian method, to use the title of a book by Michael Ghiselin that we posted on in October and November 2011, proliferates throughout the life sciences. There are things that this allows us to do that are not exactly inductive, but are close to inductive reasoning in many ways. This has to do with the nature of variation and how it's to be explained. In a next post we'll discuss this in light of DNA, totally unknown to Darwin. There are substantial problems, and many of the inferences we make about specifics of the past are speculative, but overall, Darwin was not a Madoff, and did not hustle us with a pyramid scheme!
We'll see how Darwinian concepts, more than any other, enable us to understand why DNA sequence can be 'random' on its own, in the sense that the A,C,G,T's along DNA are by various statistical tests random: the nucleotides in one place don't predict those nearby or elsewhere along the sequence. Yet the nucleotides are not just letters in a computer test, and are in fact anything but random. Indeed, the concept of randomness has to be revised because DNA sequences evolved.

We're following a developing story tonight in a rural part of Missouri, where an Amtrak train has derailed. NPR's Frank Morris joins us from a nearby high school the passengers were evacuated to.
And Frank, tell us about what happened today.
FRANK MORRIS, BYLINE: Hi, Ari. The Southwest Chief - it runs daily between LA and Chicago - was making up some lost time. It was running late, running about 90 miles an hour through a very rural, beautiful part of the state - it's just rolling cornfields - when it hit a dump truck at an uncontrolled crossing, a crossing with no gates or - you know, a rural crossing. It's on a gravel road. That killed a person in the dump truck and two people on the train.
SHAPIRO: I mentioned that you're at this high school nearby. Tell us about the scene.
MORRIS: Yeah, so this is Mendon, Mo. It's a tiny town of about 150 people. The gym is full of volunteers and folks who were riding the train. They've got their suitcases. They, you know, are just talking amongst themselves. The town is smaller. There are fewer people that live in this town than were on the train. And the folks in the gym that I spoke with were very grateful about the response. The town just swarmed over this wreck site. A lot of volunteer EMTs, volunteer firefighters were out there helping people get back to this high school.
But there are still a bunch of folks here waiting for Amtrak to come pick them up. Amtrak has not been here, they say. And so people are getting pretty frustrated.
SHAPIRO: Have there been any official briefings, information from folks in charge?
MORRIS: There's not a lot of information other than the fatalities. We don't know how many people were injured. There were a number of people taken by helicopter to area trauma centers. But we don't know - we don't have any official word of what happened. People who were on the train say the train tried to stop. They could tell that the train was hitting the brakes hard. It hit the dump truck and came almost to a stop before the lights flickered and it tipped over. Seven of the eight cars in the train derailed.
SHAPIRO: Yeah. We saw some images today of passengers sitting on that train that's on its side out there in the sun by the cornfields.
MORRIS: Right.
SHAPIRO: This is the second Amtrak accident in two days. There was another in California yesterday. Are there any similarities between the two?
MORRIS: The similarity is the uncontrolled crossing, a grade-level crossing without a barrier or flashing lights. These are common in rural areas where just gravel roads cross the tracks. And so that's what they have in common. Both trains hit vehicles in those kind of uncontrolled crossings.
SHAPIRO: And yet the fact that the vehicle in this one was a dump truck I'm sure made for a much harder impact.
MORRIS: I'm sure it did. And, you know - and again, the train was going fast, tried to stop, hit the dump truck and then fell over.
SHAPIRO: That is NPR's Frank Morris in a rural part of Missouri covering the breaking story of the Amtrak derailment, reporting there from a high school where passengers have been evacuated to. Frank, thank you very much.
MORRIS: Thank you, Ari. Appreciate it. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Version: May 2008 (debian - 07/07/09)
Section: 5 (Format de fichier)
hibernate.conf - configuration file for the hibernate scriptSYNOPSIS
The hibernate script hibernate(8) reads its configuration from the /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf file when it runs (unless an alternative configuration file is specified on the command line.
If configuration directives are specified multiple times, typically the last one will take effect.
- HibernateVT N If specified, output from the suspend script is redirected to the given VT instead of stdout.
- Verbosity N Determines how verbose the output from the suspend script should be: 0: silent except for errors 1: print steps 2: print steps in detail 3: print steps in lots of detail 4: print out every command executed (uses -x)
- LogFile <filename> If specified, output from the suspend script will also be redirected to this file - useful for debugging purposes.
- LogTimestamp <boolean> If logging to file, will place timestamps on each log entry. This is only recommended if you are trying to optimise suspend/resume time, otherwise it will just slow the process down.
- LogVerbosity N Same as Verbosity, but controls what is written to the logfile.
- AlwaysForce <boolean> If set to yes, the script will always run as if --force had been passed.
- AlwaysKill <boolean> If set to yes, the script will always run as if --kill had been passed.
- Distribution <debian|fedora|mandrake|redhat|gentoo|suse|slackware> If specified, tweaks some scriptlets to be more integrated with the given distribution.
- Include <filename> Immediately include configuration directives from the given file.
- XDisplay <display location> Specifies where scriptlets that use the X server should find one. (Default: :0)
- UseACPISleep <state> Enables the use of /proc/acpi/sleep for suspending the machine. Be aware that this method is deprecated in favour of using /sys/power/state (with the sysfs_power_state scriptlet). This requires a kernel with ACPI support built in. <state> should generally be 3 (for suspend-to-RAM), or 4 (for suspend-to-disk). Note: You should not use this if you want to use Software Suspend 2.
- BackLight <boolean> This will enable fancy backlight fading using the xbacklight program.
- Bootsplash <boolean> Showing script progress on an bootsplash enabled kernel. This will automatically enable SwitchToTextMode too.
- BootsplashConfig <configfile> Bootsplash config file (default is /etc/bootsplash/default/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg)
- SaveClock restore-only|<boolean> Set this to yes to save the system clock before suspending and restore the system clock after resuming. If set to restore-only, the clock will not be saved, only restored - this means suspending is faster, but if your hardware clock drifts significantly, your system clock will drift as well.
- IncompatibleDevices <device name> [...] If there are any processes accessing these devices, then suspending is aborted. If the --kill option is passed, the offending processes are terminated and the suspend continues. For example programs accessing the sound card (/dev/dsp*) or tuner cards (/dev/video*) would deny the respective modules from being unloaded.
- DisableWriteCacheOn <drive> [...] On some hardware the power is cut off before the disk has flushed its own hardware cache. List the devices that contain swap partitions (eg, /dev/hda) to disable the write cache before suspending.
- FBSplash <boolean> Showing script progress using fbsplash. No kernel patches are required, but you will need the fbsplash splashutils package installed (distinct from the bootsplash splashutils package). This will automatically enable SwitchToTextMode too.
- FBSplashTheme <themename> FBSplash theme name (default is taken from /proc/cmdline)
- Unmount <mount point or device> [...] If you have network shares or external devices that should be unmounted before suspending, list them here.
- Mount <mount point or device> [...] If you have network shares or external devices that should be mounted after resuming, list them here.
- UnmountFSTypes <filesystem type> [...] Unmounts any filesystems of the given types. This is most useful for network filesystems such as smbfs and nfs.
- UnmountGraceTime <seconds> Time between sending SIGTERM to processes and SIGKILL to allow them to cleanup gracefully.. The default is 1 second.
- LogoutGaim <boolean> Changes all locally running Gaim's status to offline before suspending, and (optionally) change it back to the original status after resuming.
- GaimRestoreStatus <boolean> Changes back Gaim's status to the original status after resuming.
- GaimLogoutMessage <string> Status message to set when logging out Gaim.
- GaimLoginMessage <string> Status message to set when logging in Gaim.
- GaleonOffline <boolean> Changes all locally running Galeon's status to offline before suspending, and (optionally) change it back to the original state after resuming.
- GaleonRestoreStatus <boolean> Change status of Galeon back to the original state after resuming.
- RestoreGFXBrightness <boolean> This will save and restore LCD brightness(GFX cards) using ACPI.
- ChangeGrubMenu <boolean> Change grub's config file to show system is suspended before suspending and restore after resume.
- GrubMenuFile <filename> Filename of grub's config file. Default is /boot/grub/grub.conf.
- AlternateGrubMenuFile <filename> Filename of the grub config file to put in place when the machine is suspended. If this is not specified, the script will add a small header to the existing grub menu.
- BackupGrubMenuFile <filename> Where to keep a backup of your real grub menu file. Defaults to /var/backups/grub.conf.hibernate.
- IbmAcpi <boolean> Use the ibm_acpi kernel module to signal suspend progress.
- RadeonTool <boolean> Use radeontool to turn off LCD backlight.
- Runi915resolution <boolean> Set to run 915resolution before switching back to X.
- FullSpeedCPU <boolean> Sets the CPU to full speed whilst suspending.
- AcpiVideoS3Bios <boolean> Sets s3_bios mode, replaces acpi_sleep=s3_bios kernel parameter.
- AcpiVideoS3Mode <boolean> Sets s3_mode mode, replaces acpi_sleep=s3_mode kernel parameter.
- EnsureLILOResumes <boolean> Makes sure that LILO boots the correct kernel image when rebooting to resume. This is useful when you boot into a non-default kernel or want to avoid LILO's menu delay when resuming.
- LockKDE <boolean> Lock all local KDE sessions before suspending.
- LockXScreenSaver <boolean> Lock all local X11 sessions with xscreensaver running before suspending.
- LockGnomeScreenSaver <boolean> Lock all local X11 sessions with gnome-screensaver running before suspending.
- LockXLock <boolean> Lock active X11 session using xlock.
- LockXAutoLock <boolean> Lock all local X11 sessions running xautolock.
- LockConsoleAs <username> Locks the entire system after resuming, requiring you to enter either <username>'s or root's password to unlock it. (Requires vlock).
- LockXtrLock <boolean> Lock active X11 session using xtrlock.
- OnSuspend NN <program to execute> [parameters for program] Executes a given program before suspending. NN is a two-digit number between 00 and 99, inclusive - a higher number means the program will be executed later in the suspend process. See the ORDERING section in the SCRIPTLET-API for details.
- OnResume NN <program to execute> [parameters for program] Executes a given program after resuming. NN is a number between 00 and 99, inclusive - a higher number means the program will be executed earlier in the resume process. See the ORDERING section in the SCRIPTLET-API for details.
- UnloadModules <module name> [...] Names of modules to unload prior to suspending.
- LoadModules auto|<module name> [...] Names of modules to load after resumimg. If auto is specified, the modules that were unloaded previously are loaded.
- UnloadBlacklistedModules <boolean> Try to remove any modules that are known to be incompatible with hibernation prior to suspending.
- UnloadAllModules <boolean> Try to remove all modules loaded prior to suspending.
- LoadModulesFromFile <filename> Load default modules after resuming from a given filename. Each module name must appear on its own line, and lines starting with # are ignored. (eg, Debian's /etc/modules, Gentoo's /etc/modules.autoload)
- GentooModulesAutoload <boolean> Try to load default modules after resuming (from /etc/modules.autoload)
- DownInterfaces auto|<ifname> [...] The names of network interfaces to bring down before suspending. If the parameter "auto" is given, all interfaces which are not lo are brought down.
- UpInterfaces auto|<ifname> [...] The names of network interfaces to bring up after suspending. If the parameter "auto" is given, the interfaces stopped before suspending will be started in reverse order.
- EnableNMReconnect <boolean> Disconnect and reconnect NM before and after suspending.
- MuteAudio <boolean> This will mute your speakers on suspend to avoid compromising situations on resume.
- PauseAudio <boolean> This will pause your audio player before suspending. Audio is not unpaused on resume.
- EjectCards <boolean> Eject all PCMCIA cards before suspending, and insert them again after resuming
- IncompatiblePrograms <process name> [...] If there are processes running with any of the names listed (as seen in ps ax), then suspending is aborted. If the --kill option is passed, the offending processes are terminated, and the suspend continues.
- RemountXFSBoot <boolean> Remount the /boot partition read-only when suspending to prevent against an XFS bug.
- StopServices <service name> [...] The services listed are stopped prior to suspending. The service name must correspond to the name of an init.d script that is active in the current runlevel.
- StartServices <service name> [...] The services listed are started after resuming. The service name must correspond to the name of an init.d script that is active in the current runlevel.
- RestartServices <service name> [...] The services listed are stopped before suspending and started after resuming. The service name must correspond to the name of an init.d script that is active in the current runlevel.
- UseTuxOnIce <boolean> Enable/disable the use of TuxOnIce to hibernate.
- Reboot <boolean> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Controls whether or not TuxOnIce should reboot after hibernating. Setting this to yes will force a reboot. Setting this to no will force shutting down. Omitting this option will leave rebooting behaviour unchanged.
- EnableEscape <boolean> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) If specified, allows (or disallows) the use of the escape key to abort a hibernation cycle. If this line is not specified, the Escape key's behaviour is unchanged.
- DefaultConsoleLevel <N> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) If specified, sets the default console level. 0 gives a progress bar. 1 gives a progress bar with numbers. 2 or higher give increasing amounts of debugging. If this line is not specified, the default console level is unchanged.
- ImageSizeLimit nocache|<NN> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) If specified, sets an upper limit on the size of the hibernation image written (in megabytes). If set to "nocache", caches and buffers will not be saved - resulting in a faster hibernation and resume at the possible expense of system responsiveness immediately after resuming. If set to 0, no limit is imposed. If this line is not specified, the existing image size limit is unchanged.
- AsyncIOLimit <N> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Deprecated since 184.108.40.206 (hence won't do anything if set). Limit the number of I/O operations that TuxOnIce will have queued at once. Lowering this value has resolved hangs when reading or writing caches for some people. Try values like 64, 32 and 8.
- SuspendDevice <device> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) If specified, sets the hibernation device by writing to the resume[2] entry in . This does not automatically set the resuming device - you will need to make sure your bootloader or initrd script does this.
- FilewriterLocation <filename> <size in MB> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) This option sets up the given filename to act as a destination file for writing the hibernation image to, and verifies that it can act as a valid destination. If the file does not exist, the file is created. This option is only relevant if you are using the filewriter plugin for TuxOnIce.
- VerifyFilewriterResume2 <boolean> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) When this option is on, you will be prompted if your current kernel command-line does not match the correct resume[2] for the filewriter. This option is on by default.
- LoadSuspendModules <module name> [...] (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Loads the given modules before even detecting TuxOnIce. This may be required when TuxOnIce is compiled as modules that need to be loaded prior to hibernating.
- UnloadSuspendModulesAfterResume <boolean> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) If yes, will unload the TuxOnIce modules mentioned above after resuming.
- PowerdownMethod <0|3|4|5> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Allows you to choose what TuxOnIce should do after writing its image to disk. 3/4/5 will only work if you have ACPI enabled in your kernel. 3/4/5 correspond to the ACPI states S3 (suspend-to-RAM), S4 (hibernate-to-disk), and S5 (power off). Choosing 3 will request your machine to enter the S3 Suspend-to-RAM state if it is supported - this allows you drastically cut the resume time waiting for your BIOS but still consumes power whilst hibernated (though the image is not lost should power run out). Choosing 4 will cause your machine to enter an S4 sleep state which may also reduce the resume time without using any power whilst hibernated. Choosing 5 will cause your machine to switch off after hibernating (traditional method) but might still cause your machine to resume when you open the lid. 0 bypasses ACPI and shuts off the machine completely.
- Compressor none|<compressor name> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Sets the compression algorithm to use for compressing the memory image. If set to "none", disables compression. Otherwise, the compressor name must be listed in /proc/crypto. This will also try to load the module if not available. (Only for TuxOnIce.1.9.5 or newer).
- Encryptor none|<encryptor name> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Sets the encryption algorithm to use for encrypting the memory image. If set to "none", disables encryption. Otherwise, the cipher name must be listed in /proc/crypto. This will also try to load the module if not available. You will probably require more options than just this to fully use encryption. These will be introduced in the next version of hibernate, but for now you can set them using the "ProcSetting" option if you know what you are doing. (Only for TuxOnIce.1.9.5 or newer).
- ProcSetting <entry name> <value> (requires UseTuxOnIce on) Sets the value of /<entry_name> to <value> upon hibernating. You can use this setting to set parameters that can't be configured anywhere else in this script. This is executed after all other settings have been set.
- SylpheedClawsOffline <boolean> Changes status of all locally running Sylpheed Claws to offline before suspending, and (optionally) change it to online after resuming.
- SylpheedClawsOnline <boolean> Changes status of all locally running Sylpheed Claws to online after resuming.
- UseSysfsPowerState <state> Enables the use of /sys/power/state for suspending the machine (to RAM or disk). This requires a kernel supporting this interface. <state> must be one of the options listed by `cat /sys/power/state`, (eg mem, disk, or standby).
- PowerdownMethod <shutdown|platform|firmware> (requires UseSysfsPowerState) If using /sys/power/state to suspend your machine to disk, chooses the method by which to do so. Choosing "shutdown" will save state in linux, then tell the bios to powerdown (most reliable). Choosing "platform" will save state in linux, then tell the bios to powerdown and blink it's "suspended LED". Choosing "firmware" will tell the bios to save state itself (needs BIOS-specific suspend partition, and has very little to do with swsusp).
- USuspendMethod <disk|ram|both> Enables use of the uswsusp suspend method of newer kernels (>= 2.6.17rc1)
- USuspendRamForce <boolean> Passes the -f flag to s2ram to force suspending even if the machine is not recognised
- USuspendRamUnsureOk <boolean> Instructs s2ram to continue when it's unsure about the system type, thus not requiring -f to be passed
- USuspendRamVbeSave <boolean> Passes the -s flag to s2ram to save VBE state before suspending and restore after resume
- USuspendRamVbePost <boolean> Passes the -p flag to s2ram to VBE POST the graphics card after resume
- USuspendRamVbeMode <boolean> Passes the -m flag to s2ram to get VBE mode before suspend and set it after resume
- USuspendRamRadeontool <boolean> Passes the -r flag to s2ram to let radeontool turn of the backlight before suspending.
- USuspendRamAcpiSleep <number> Passes the -a flag to s2ram to set the acpi_sleep parameter before suspend: 1=s3_bios, 2=s3_mode, 3=both
- USuspendRamPciSave <boolean> Passes the -v flag to s2ram to have the PCI config space of the VGA card before suspend, and restore it on resume
- EnableVbetool <boolean> Save and restore video state using vbetool before and after suspending.
- RestoreVbeStateFrom <filename> If set, will restore the VBE state with the data stored in <filename>. Use this if your card requires you to restore it with a state captured at boot (from single user mode, run "vbetool vbestate save > /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate"). If this option is not set, the state is saved just before suspending.
- VbetoolPost <boolean> If yes, will call the video BIOS's POST routine to reinitialise the video card. Some cards need this to turn on the backlight back and be useful after resuming. Other video cards will hang if you attempt to POST them. Try it with yours and see.
- RestoreVCSAData <boolean> If yes, will call save and restore some of the video card's state from /dev/vcsa. This helps certain drivers such as ATI's fglrx driver to resume properly.
- EnableVideoDump <boolean> Dump and load video card memory before and after suspending.
- SwitchToTextMode <boolean> If your X driver is unable to resume properly, you can try switching to a text console first by setting this to yes.
- SwitchToTextModeOnResume <boolean> Use this to, on resume, switch to a text console and back. Some X drivers need this to properly resume.
- UseDummyXServer <boolean> Some X drivers can be reinitialised by launching a dummy X server after resuming to restore the state of the graphics card. Set this to yes to do so.
- DummyXServerConfig <filename> When using a dummy X server, use /etc/X11/<filename> as its configuration.
- XStatus <gnome|kde|x> Enables progress display and error reporting for the given environment.
- XmessageDisable <boolean> Disable display of xmessage dialogs if XStatus is set to "x".
- XSuspendText <message> Text to display on screen whilst preparing to suspend. (default: "Preparing to suspend...")
- XResumeText <message> Text to display on screen whilst coming back from suspend. (default: "Resuming from suspend...")
- XosdSettings <options> Options to pass to osd_cat, see 'man osd_cat' (default: "--font --shadow 1 --pos bottom --align center --offset 50")
- /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf
- Contains options which influence the hibernate script's behaviour.

Wild Animal Removal Services
Choosing the best wild animal removal services in the area is not an easy task. There are hundreds of animal removal companies operating out there. All of them are not the same. You have to be very careful when finding the right company for the job. Here are some of the most important things to consider when choosing the best wild animal removal services on the market.
The wild animal removal trade is not highly regulated in the country. Hence, you have no way of distinguishing between a good and bad company unless you do your homework properly. Make sure that the candidate is highly reputed in the community. They should have a good customer feedback from a majority of their current and past clients in the area. You can check this by visiting the website of the company. In fact, the official website of the potential company will highlight some of the reviews received by their clients. You can call a couple of these clients to check if they were really okay with the quality of service of the company. Customer reviews can be manipulated by the company at times. But there are many independent online review sites that will give you a better understanding of the quality of service of the company. Make sure that you check some of these independent review sites before working with the best animal removal service in the area.
The right company should employ highly skilled and experienced technicians. They should use humane trapping and capture techniques. A reputable company will use humane traps to capture the animals on your property and release them into their natural habitats. Never hire a company that uses harmful methods that can injure or kill the wild animals. It is illegal to harm or kill wild animals on your property. These are important things to look for when choosing the best animal removal company in the area.
You may have a friend or neighbor who has hired a reliable animal trapping service in the past. You can ask them for the contacts of such a provider. They won't hesitate to give you the contacts of a reliable trapping company in the area. If not, the internet is another great place to find a quality animal control service. You should be searching Google or Yahoo for this purpose Once you get a list of companies on Google or Yahoo SERPs, don't pick the first company on the list. Do the required research and choose the right contractor with relevant experience and credentials. These are very important factors to look for when choosing the best animal control service in the area.
Wild animals living on your property can become a real hassle at times. That is where a reliable animal control service comes in handy. There are plenty of them out there. But all of them are not the same. Make sure you do the research before selecting the best wild animal control company in the area.
Where Do Bats Live?
Bats are social animals and live in colonies rather than alone. But where do bats live?
These colonies prefer to live in caves or other habitats that provide them with some level of protection. Many bat species find man-made structures to be the ideal home for their colonies as they provide perfect protection from the elements, especially the sun during daylight hours when the bats are sleeping as these creatures are nocturnal.
However, they do prefer abandoned buildings, barns or locations in a structure where they are less likely to be disturbed. This is why bats are commonly found in attics or basements.
Some types of bats prefer to live in the treetops, hanging upside down from branches during the daytime when they are asleep. These are normally fruit eating bats and the tops of the trees are also where they locate their main food source.
Bat homes are called roosts (maternity roosts during maternity season and hibernation roosts during hibernation season). During maternity season, the young bats, called pups, remain with their mother in a tail pouch and suckle milk. The mothers and colony only leave the roost to hunt for food. During hibernation season, the bats rarely leave the roost.
Once a roost has been established, it is rare for a colony to relocate or move. Solo bats may leave due to overcrowding and establish new colonies elsewhere. This makes it difficult to get rid of bats that have taken up residence in a home or building where they are unwanted as they will keep returning. It takes some specialized knowledge and devices to remove and exclude bats permanently.
So where do bats live? Any natural or man-made structure that provides protection and hanging space for the bats to sleep is the ideal home for bats.

On the way home from work today, I heard on the radio that the Moody Blues were playing in town tonight. Other than Paul McCartney, the Moody Blues are the only live music act I've paid to see twice! The first time was circa 1978 on their comeback tour after a number of years on hiatus. The second was in 1981 after they had proven themselves a viable band and not just an oldies act (not that I have any problem with oldies acts!). On record, their music with its swirling flutes, mellotron and occasional symphonic accompaniment can admittedly sound quite pretentious. The sometimes pompous, self-consciously artsy lyrics don't always help. As a live band in that era, however, they rocked hard on both old and new material with screaming guitars and soaring vocals the likes of which I've never heard before or since! Justin Hayward, owner of one of rock's smoothest voices anyway, actually hit and held that almost impossibly long high note in TUESDAY AFTERNOON...both times! Former Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz (whose image on the tour book seen here fell just outside my scanner) was flamboyant as the replacement keyboardist for original member Mike Pinder. After about 15 years of touring, in a sad and shameful moment for the band, the rest of the group would claim that Moraz had never actually been a member but rather only a hired musician. Ummm...okay. The keyboardist for a keyboard-based rock band isn't REALLY an actual member?? The case actually aired live on Court-TVin the early 1990's with the group members testifying earnestly that Moraz had misunderstood his role all those years! Sigh. Kind of like the Beach Boys over the years and more recently Herman's Hermits. Just stop arguing over legal semantics and make some music!
I haven't been to a concert in years. I passed up Simon and Garfunkel a couple of years back because of the outrageous ticket prices. I WAS going with a friend to see Stevie Nicks next month (she got two tickets for her birthday) but she's recently become involved in a new relationship (my friend, not Stevie) so I've offered my ticket to him. That's why I'm sitting here typing now because if I WERE going to see a concert, I'd be willing to bet that the Moody Blues (and quite frankly I'm not even certain how many members of the classic lineup are left) would STILL be a great concert! Thanks for the music, gentlemen! Rock hard, tonight!

Vi er i Somaliland
Somaliland remains relatively stable
Somaliland has a functioning political system, government institutions, a police force and even its own currency. Unlike Somalia, Somaliland has remained comparatively stable and safe. It even attracts a small number of foreign visitors.
Nonetheless, poverty and unemployment are widespread phenomena. Nearly all citizens of Somaliland are Sunni Muslims and Islam is the official religion. Somaliland is home to ten universities and colleges of higher learning.
The economy of Somaliland is still in its developing stage. Remittances from Somali citizens abroad represent an important pillar of Somaliland's economy and major export commodities include livestock, myrrh and hides.
Despite stability and moderate progress, many challenges remain in Somaliland
While its southern neighbour Somalia is arguably the most dangerous and underdeveloped country in the world, Somaliland has managed to make important and much-needed improvements in sectors such as health, education and infrastructure. Over the past 20 years, access to medical assistance and schooling has improved significantly. De-mining efforts, carried out by United Nations specialists, have made the region much safer.
However, poverty and high levels of unemployment continue to make life challenging for the vast majority of Somaliland citizens. Despite improvements, the government struggles to provide basic goods and services to its people. Life expectancy in Somaliland also remains low at around 50 years.
Owing to the territory's lack of diplomatic recognition, access to foreign aid and loans proves difficult. Although freedom of expression is theoretically guaranteed by the territory's constitution, journalists have faced problems. Due to its geographic location, Somaliland frequently experiences natural disasters such as flooding and droughts.
Like in the rest of Somalia, female genital mutilation (FGM) is exercised on nearly all women. Apart from the psychological implications, FGM can cause severe childbirth complications. It is internationally recognised as a violation of human rights.
Children need protection and hope for the future
Although there are no accurate orphan statistics for Somaliland, tens of thousands of children in the region have lost either one or both their parents. Many of them roam the streets of Hargeisa begging for food and money and have no home they can go to.
According to reports from different sources, child trafficking is also increasingly becoming a problem in the region.
De-mining efforts in the region have improved the lives of Somaliland children. It is now possible to play in the streets and public playgrounds without having to worry about sudden explosions.
Access to education has also improved noticeably: while in 1991 the total number of primary, secondary and intermediate schools was 219, it has now increased to 506 across the territory. Although not much information on the situation of the children in Somaliland is available, it is known that they are generally better off than in neighbouring Somalia. Literacy rates have been on the rise as the educational sector continues to see improvements.
SOS Children's Villages in Somaliland
In the late 1990s, SOS Children's Villages started working in Somaliland.
Strengthen families: SOS Children's Villages runs SOS Family Strengthening Programmes in Somaliland. Through these programmes, we aim to strengthen existing family ties and to enable children who are at risk of losing the care of their family to grow up within their own family.
Care in families: When, if in spite of our support, children cannot stay with their families, they find a new home in SOS families.
Support for young people: We support young people until they are able to live independently.
Education: Nearly 800 children attend the kindergarten, primary and secondary schools that are run by SOS Children's Villages in Somaliland.
Emergency programme: SOS Children`s Villages is currently working with the government and other agencies to deliver emergency aid to families affected by the drought and famine. We have also increased our child protection activities. Our long-term project includes building resilience so that communities are strengthened and prepared for future environmental disasters.

Founded more than 100 years ago, PGA grows its fan base by promoting golf through innovative golf programs, e-commerce, and an online marketplace that allows golfers to directly engage certified PGA coaches for lessons. However, disparate legacy data systems and manual processes created friction and frustration for golfers, coaches, and PGA across its various digital platforms.
"At the beginning of our digital transformation in 2017, we faced some significant challenges with the technology platforms we had in place," said George Whitaker, senior director of enterprise technology at PGA. "We had disparate data systems and constant production critical errors. We also transferred payments to coaches by check, resulting in a time-to-payout cycle that needed to be faster. It all combined to create an accounting nightmare."
PGA also struggled with weak PCI compliance, unclear data controls, and myriad financial considerations due to its unique combination of business models. With a manual invoice reconciliation process that took weeks each period and often resulted in costly errors, the organisation's financial close process was also in need of a fix. PGA set out to modernise its backend financial systems and processes, gain more visibility into payments, and improve the payments experience for internal and external users. Fortunately, PGA already used Stripe to accept payments for membership dues and online purchases, so it had access to a solution.
PGA chose Stripe to improve its financial infrastructure, which began with an integration to its Workday financial management platform. PGA used Stripe to streamline and improve the experience for coaches and golfers as they register and pay fees for applications and lessons. Since it was also using Stripe to collect membership dues, PGA now had detailed visibility into its end-to-end finances across all the platforms used to run its business.
"The Stripe API lets us build a direct connection to Workday so we can instantly get invoice and payment details for more accurate account reconciliations – way easier than reconciling through the bank," Whitaker added. "Stripe gave us a fast and easy way to deliver a better payments experience."
With just one developer, PGA used the Stripe API to build a custom connection to its Workday backend, which automatically gathers invoice and payments data from more than 10 regional sections. It also replaced its manual payments processes with Stripe Connect to launch an intuitive platform, resulting in quick and seamless transactions when golfers used the PGA marketplace to hire PGA certified coaches for lessons.
PGA – like many large organisations – needed operational simplicity, especially regarding revenue and cash flow. It chose Stripe to modernise its payments infrastructure as part of a broader digital transformation effort.
Just one developer required to integrate Stripe with Workday
The detailed documentation accompanying the Stripe API gave PGA the confidence to build a custom connection to its existing Workday financial backend with only one developer. Now PGA ingests Stripe data into Workday to automate its payment reconciliation process.
Whitaker said, "Stripe is developer-friendly, intuitive, and adaptable. The APIs really save time and provide more accurate payments and invoicing data for our finance and accounting teams. Traditional merchant systems and payment gateways can't do anything like this."
Saving 40 hours per month with automated payouts for 1,500+ coaches
PGA's previous coaching platform didn't allow golfers to pay coaches directly, so payouts were manual and often delayed by a month or more. With Stripe, PGA quickly replaced those processes with automated payments. This saved the organisation 20 hours per month on processing coach payouts and another 20 hours per month for credit card reconciliations.
"Stripe took us from an excruciating payout process for coaches to one that happens automatically. Our payout team doesn't even need to be involved and coaches are paid directly in days," said Seth McGuinness, product manager at PGA.
For a very traditional organisation going through a broad digital transformation, Stripe gives us the tools to do it seamlessly and with a faster time-to-value.

This week, Catching the Comet's Tail hosts artist Sandra Turnbull. A group show, I Love You Because, featuring 40 artist's interpretations of Elvis, opens next week in London and includes Turnbull's work. Prior to becoming an artist, Sandra co-managed the band Eurythmics and, after many years of nurturing the creativity of others, she has finally come to honour her own talents.
Sandra on creativity...
"My creativity usually resides in my guts but it changes. When I was working on All About Eve, an exhibition about girls who work in the sex industry, it was in my gut and my nether regions! My current body of work, The Buddhas, is in my heart and soul.
I reckon I channel. Thoughts come from... who knows where? The muse visits me in surprising ways; in my sleep it leaves an imprint of an idea to paint. I wake with a vivid colour and often a finished painting just floating behind my eyes. After the idea, I look for a model to make it real. My best friend Jay has a great body and has made many appearances in my work. My mate Jane also crept into several early water paintings. My partner [Robert Goldstein, photographer] has a striking face, perfect to paint. I don't take too much credit for what I do. I put in the experiences, then some divine force charges through me and spews out images - it's a compulsion - I don't have a choice.
'A painting is never finished, it just stops in interesting places,' my Godson Mickey said to me a few years ago and I wrote it on the wall of my studio in black felt tip as an inspiration."
Was creativity encouraged in you as a child and who were your early artistic influences?
"I was sent to dancing school most days from 2 years old. My parents didn't know what to do with all my energy and dancing became an obsession. I ran away from home at 16 to join a dance troupe and that became my life. When I gave up professional dancing, I took up painting to fill the creative void. It was at this time that Hyper Kinetics was born and I became one half of the management team for Eurythmics. My dad, Annie Lennox, Joan Rhodes, Picasso, Robert Goldstein, all made me think I could do anything, either by example or by encouragement. So if I had a creative idea, I just went right out and made it happen."
Please describe how you put together the piece for the Elvis exhibition and say a little about solo projects you're currently developing.
"The curator Harry Pye asked me to get involved with the Elvis show in early 2013. I threw myself at it and finished the piece in March. It is almost as I envisaged it. That's how it works for me . I conjure up a colour, get the ground prepared and imagine what the finished painting looks like and go from there. In parallel, I am working on the Buddha series so I could only see Elvis as a Buddha, crossed-legged with the American flag pressing through his face. I loved painting Elvis. It made such a change from the Buddhas.
"I went to China in 2010 and came back needing to paint Buddhas. I was surprised how Buddhism is treated like superstition. Catholicism is the new religion there, crosses have replaced the Buddhas. I have painted 23 or 24 Buddhas for a show next year. I have another idea on the go too; Cut and Paste which involves a central life-size image, surrounded by collage. I am now obsessed with collecting magazines and own 10 pairs of scissors in all sizes... it's my Blue Peter moment."
How do you know when a painting is finished?
"I can kiss the lips of my painting - that's when I know it's finished. Weird I know, but it's a fact. "
Who, what or where always inspires your creativity and what is guaranteed to kill it?
"I am inspired by vivid colour, sexy bodies, music, wide open spaces, depression, dreaming, and I'm uninspired by tiredness, idiots and anger."
Do you ever feel that creating new things is a chore and what do you do when you feel blocked?
"I have never felt painting is a chore...a challenge yes, often, but that's half the fun.
If I am ever blocked I paint pictures on boxes. My friends save boxes for me; chocolate...shoe...biscuit...soap... any old box, large or small, and I paint naked people on them. That usually gets the juices flowing and opens a few portals."
Is there a collaborative element to your work or do you prefer to create alone?
"I work alone, I'm not keen on input. Robert might make a suggestion for a painting and I kindly suggest he might like to do that himself. I have been know to take the odd title he suggests for a piece of work though."
Please talk a bit about the environment you like to be in to create.
"I have my studio at The Chocolate Factory N22 and have been there since 1999. I only paint there and it is my favourite place (see right).
My heavenly studio is set up so I can walk in and not even bother to take my coat off and start painting . I'm usually working on 2 or 3 pieces at the same time so, whichever grabs me first, I start. It's compulsive behaviour. Sometimes I am so into it that I forget to put music on. Other times I walk in, put a track on, start painting and play the same track on repeat all day. Sometimes I cry to the music I am playing and that affects the work. I eat a lot of crisps when I'm working. "
Do you have a daily routine when you are painting and what is it like?
"I'm a daytime creator. I plan my diary so I have carved out times to paint. I switch on during the drive to my studio. My life is like an army manoeuver: I teach pilates full time, I'm a governor at a local special school, I train in marshall arts, yoga and weights, and this is apart from relationships and responsibilities with the home, family and friends. I have to plan or it would all go pear-shaped very quickly."
Please share a photo of an object that connects with your creative process...
"1. My iphone doc...music is a driving force.
2. The palette of Joan Rhodes. Joan was the first person to encourage me to paint . She just said, 'Do It Sandra, put your work on the wall.'
3. The saying of Tom Waites: 'You must risk something that matters' - how true."
Which other creative art form outside the one you are known for do you wish you could master?
"Acting ... I love acting . I did a course through Central St Martins in London and then a performance at The Old Red Lion last year and, by all accounts, I was very good. It was completely exhilarating and I will definitely do it again."
What are you working on next?
"Buddhas - lots of them."
"I Love You Because", a group show featuring 40 artists interpretations of Elvis curated by Harry Pye and Chloe Mortimer opens with a Private View on July 18th 6.30pm - 9pm at the A-Side B-Side Gallery, 5 to 9 Amhurst Terrace, London E8 2BT (The gallery is open Thurs to Sun, 12 till 6pm).

Remember that point break we were checking out? We lucked out and got a chance to surf it yesterday. The spot is just about as perfect as it gets for stand up paddling; far from the crowds of prone surfers, long and fast. There were just three of us trading off waves until the place chewed through our gear and lumped us up enough to send us home with our tails between our legs.
We are fortunate to have friends who live in the area who knew we'd want to connect with Steve, the owner of Coconut Harry's surf shop. It soon became obvious to us that Coconut Harry's is THE shop to go to for rentals and surf information. Even better, Steve is a hardcore stand up paddler and, best of all, he's got his own perfect SUP surf spot. Steve is the kind of guy that stand up paddling needs more of- he's a courteous stand up paddler, understanding where and when stand up surfing fits in the lineup. We chatted for a few minutes about paddle surfing and before you know it, we were setting up a little excursion out to the point.
First of all, if you think you'll find this place- forget it. You'll need a guide. The spot is at the end of a maze of twisty dirt roads and the launch is a tiny little, jungle covered beach. Once we got there, I was kind of blown away. A quarter mile out and tucked into the lee of a little point is a reef/point setup with a right hand peeler that heaves up and wraps for about two or three hundred yards. We launched off the beach and made the paddle, it was one of those kind of places where it looks smaller than it really is. Once you're there, you realize that the wave packs a punch and being out on an open water reef, there's a lot of water moving around, it's definitely not a beginner spot.
It was a challenging wave with a jacking take-off section. It was large enough that we were dodging clean up waves that would surprise us by breaking outside of what we thought was clear water. Most of the best ones went unridden. It was just a matter of determining how much of it you really wanted to take on. Honestly, if I had a more robust set of cojones, I would have paddled farther up the point and snagged some of the double overhead wedges that were bulldogging through up there. As it was, I was happy enough swooping into the overhead walls that were charging down the line. Believe me, even at mid-point, the waves had enough grunt in them to kick your ass. And that place inflicted some damage, my leash snapped like a piece of peanut brittle. I made a fifty yard swim for it and knotted a bowline into the broken leash, hoping it would hold for the rest of the session.
Steve charged the place- he told me he most often surfs it alone since he can't find anyone to go out there with him. Heavy. And, he said, the day we surfed it was about a 5 on the 1 - 10 scale. Days ranking 7 and 8 are typical with a few 9s tossed in every month. He commonly scores it completely glassed out, head high and peeling- a regular footed surfers dream. We surfed a few screamers but eventually the spot gnawed through Steve's leash too and slapped a semi-concussion on my girl friend Liza's head (she was charging it- dropping into a legit double overhead macker and getting swallowed up- read about it at www.surfzerotosixty.blogspot.com)so we decided to quit before we really screwed something up.
What a day of surfing! Photos coming.

§Setting up your preferred IDE
Working with Play is easy. You don't even need a sophisticated IDE, because Play compiles and refreshes the modifications you make to your source files automatically, so you can easily work using a simple text editor.
However, using a modern Java or Scala IDE provides cool productivity features like auto-completion, on-the-fly compilation, assisted refactoring and debugging.
§Generate configuration
Play provides a command to simplify Eclipse configuration. To transform a Play application into a working Eclipse project, use the eclipse
[my-first-app] $ eclipse
If you want to grab the available source jars (this will take longer and it's possible a few sources might be missing):
[my-first-app] $ eclipse with-source=true
Note if you are using sub-projects with aggregate, you would need to set
appropriately inbuild.sbt
import com.typesafe.sbteclipse.core.EclipsePlugin.EclipseKeys
EclipseKeys.skipParents in ThisBuild := false
or from the play console, type:
[my-first-app] $ eclipse skip-parents=false
Also, if you did not want to trigger a compilation before running
, then just add the following to your settings:
EclipsePlugin.EclipseKeys.preTasks := Seq()
You then need to import the application into your Workspace with the File/Import/General/Existing project… menu (compile your project first).
To debug, start your application with activator -jvm-debug 9999 run
and in Eclipse right-click on the project and select Debug As, Debug Configurations. In the Debug Configurations dialog, right-click on Remote Java Application and select New. Change Port to 9999 and click Apply. From now on you can click on Debug to connect to the running application. Stopping the debugging session will not stop the server.
Tip: You can run your application using
to enable direct compilation on file change. This way scala template files are auto discovered when you create a new template inview
and auto compiled when the file changes. If you use normalrun
then you have to hitRefresh
on your browser each time.
If you make any important changes to your application, such as changing the classpath, use eclipse
again to regenerate the configuration files.
Tip: Do not commit Eclipse configuration files when you work in a team!
The generated configuration files contain absolute references to your framework installation. These are specific to your own installation. When you work in a team, each developer must keep his Eclipse configuration files private.
Intellij IDEA lets you quickly create a Play application without using a command prompt. You don't need to configure anything outside of the IDE, the SBT build tool takes care of downloading appropriate libraries, resolving dependencies and building the project.
Before you start creating a Play application in IntelliJ IDEA, make sure that the latest Scala (if you develop with Scala) and
Play 2 plugins are enabled in IntelliJ IDEA.
To create a Play application:
- Open New Project wizard, select Play 2.x under Scala section and click Next.
- Enter your project's information and click Finish.
IntelliJ IDEA creates an empty application using SBT.
You can also import an existing Play project.
To import a Play project:
- Open Project wizard, select Import Project.
- In the window that opens, select a project you want to import and click OK.
- On the next page of the wizard, select Import project from external model option, choose SBT project and click Next.
- On the next page of the wizard, select additional import options and click Finish.
Check the project's structure, make sure all necessary dependencies are downloaded.
You can use code assistance, navigation and on-the-fly code analysis features.
You can run the created application and view the result in the default browser http://localhost:9000
To run a Play application:
- In the project tree, right-click the application.
- From the list in the context menu, select Run Pla2 App.
You can easily start a debugger session for a Play application using default Run/Debug Configuration settings.
For more detailed information, see the Play Framework 2.x tutorial at the following URL:
§Generate Configuration
Play does not have native Netbeans project generation support at this time.
§Install ENSIME
Follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/aemoncannon/ensime
§Generate configuration
Edit your project/plugins.sbt file, and add the following line (you should first check https://github.com/ensime/ensime-sbt-cmd for the latest version of the plugin):
addSbtPlugin("org.ensime" % "ensime-sbt-cmd" % "0.1.3")
Start Play:
$ activator
Enter 'ensime generate' at the play console. The plugin should generate a .ensime file in the root of your Play project.

§Start ENSIME
From Emacs, execute M-x ensime and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's all there is to it. You should now get type-checking, completion, etc. for your Play project. Note, if you add new library dependencies to your play project, you'll need to re-run "ensime generate" and re-launch ENSIME.
§More Information
Check out the ENSIME manual at http://ensime.github.io/ensime-src/index.html.
If you have questions, post them in the ensime group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/ensime.
§All Scala Plugins if needed
Scala is a newer programming language, so the functionality is provided in plugins rather than in the core IDE.
- Eclipse Scala IDE: http://scala-ide.org/
- NetBeans Scala Plugin: https://java.net/projects/nbscala
- IntelliJ IDEA Scala Plugin: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/SCA/Scala+Plugin+for+IntelliJ+IDEA
- IntelliJ IDEA's plugin is under active development, and so using the nightly build may give you additional functionality at the cost of some minor hiccups.
- Nika (11.x) Plugin Repository: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/plugins/scala-nightly-nika.xml
- Leda (12.x) Plugin Repository: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/plugins/scala-nightly-leda.xml

Summer SAD?
Summer SAD? It seems that summer is here. We've had a lot of glorious sunshine with little rain at all for a while and lighter evenings.
When I start to think about summer generally, I have a number of loosely connected thoughts
- Will we have a real summer? Endless dry sunny days with a hosepipe ban?!
- If I bring the barbecue outside will it jinx the weather? Like it did last year and it wasn't lit once due to incessant rain, sorry neighbours
- Will the sun make us all feel happier?
That last question seems to be the big one for a lot of us.
Happiness and sunshine just seem to go together. Walking down the road or through the park, when it's sunny there seems to be more people smiling and everything just seems better.
There have been countless studies and years of research into how weather affects us and the results aren't necessarily what we'd imagine.
"Humidity, temperature, and hours of sunshine had the greatest effect on mood…….As the number of hours of sunshine increased, optimism scores also increased' Howard and Hoffman(1984)
And yet… Summer, not just in Bolton, isn't necessarily the happiest time of the year, you can find yourself summer SAD.
According to one study, if the weather is too warm and humid, people suffer from lethargy, low mood and a lack of affection whilst levels of violence and aggression rise.
Researchers argue back and forth that summer is or isn't a happy season.
What we do know is that the weather has been proven to affect people's moods and emotions. Just how much it affects us varies from person to person. The time of year and amount of available daylight is not significant.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a very real condition characterised by feelings of sadness, depression and negative thoughts.
SAD isn't, as is usually believed, specific to the winter months when temperatures drop and the days shorten. Some people, although a minority, experience SAD during Spring and Summer months too.
It's helpful to remember that even if the weather doesn't go according to plan – I can't remember when we last had a white Christmas, can you? – WE can be adaptable and change our plans rather than let the lack of sunshine ruin our day.
Help for seasonal affective disorder, depression, low mood or anxiety is here for you all year round, so don't suffer in silence or feel like you're alone or you 'should' be happy when you're not.
If you're summer SAD, contact me here for further help or advice on any of the issues mentioned in this blog.
Oh, and if you fire up the barbecue this summer, maybe turn the oven on too, just in case.

INDIANAPOLIS — Stetson Bennett delivered the biggest throws of his storybook career and Georgia's defense sealed the sweetest victory in program history, vanquishing rival Alabama 33-18 in the College Football Playoff title Monday night for its first national title in 41 years.
Bennett connected with Adonai Mitchell on a 40-yard touchdown to give No. 3 Georgia a 19-18 lead with 8:09 left and then hooked up with Brock Bowers for a 15-yard TD on a screen to put the Bulldogs up eight with with 3:33 left.
The final blow came from Georgia's dominant defense. Kelee Ringo intercepted an underthrown deep ball down the sideline by Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young. Instead of going down with a little over a minute left, Ringo took off and behind a convoy of blockers and went 79 yards for a touchdown that set off a wild celebration by the Georgia fans who packed Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Bulldogs (14-1) hadn't won a national title since freshman Herschel Walker led them there in 1980. If simply snapping the drought wasn't good enough, doing so against No. 1 Alabama (13-2) had to make it feel even better.
Nick Saban's Crimson Tide had won seven straight against the Bulldogs, including the last four against Georgia coach Kirby Smart, Saban's longtime assistant.
Bennett, the former walk-on turned starter, finished 17 for 26 for 224 yards and no interceptions.
For most of the first three quarters, the first CFP title game to be a rematch of a regular-season game was an ol' fashion Southeastern Conference defensive struggle.
The first touchdown of the game came with 1:20 left in the third quarter. After James Cook broke a 67-yard run to get the Bulldogs into the red zone, three more running plays — a facemask penalty by Alabama — got them into the end zone. Zamir White went in standing up from a yard out with massive defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis leading the way as blockers. The Bulldogs led for the first time, 13-9.
After Alabama added another field goal, the Tide caught a break on strange looking turnover by the Bulldogs.
As Bennett was being taken down deep in Georgia territory, he tried to throw the ball away. The ball slipped loose, and bounced toward the sideline, seemingly harmlessly. Alabama's Drew Sanders casually caught the ball as he was jogging out of bounds.
Surprisingly, the ruling on the field was a fumble, recovered by the Tide and replay upheld the call, giving the Tide the ball in the red zone. A few plays later, Young eluded the rush and found Cameron Latu for a 3-yard touchdown that put Alabama up 18-13 with 10:14 left in the fourth.
It felt again that Georgia would not be able to break whatever spell Alabama seemingly had on the Bulldogs.
Bennett was 13 for 22 for 141 yards as the next drive started, and you could practically hear all skeptical Georgia fans wondering why Smart didn't turn to his four-star back-up QB, J.T. Daniels, for a spark.
As he has done so many times during a career that started on the scout team and took a detour through junior college in Mississippi, the small-town Georgia kid nicknamed Mailman came through.
Bennett completed all three of his passes for 68 yards, including a long strike to Mitchell for a touchdown with 8:09 left that gave the Bulldogs a 19-18 lead after a failed 2-point conversion.
The Bulldogs' defense clamped down on Young, forcing a three-and-out on the Tide's next drive, and then Georgia went to work on sealing a long-awaited championship.

A while back I read a piece in the New York Times called "Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest." It said that according to a survey by Technorati last year, only 7.5 million of the 133 million blogs it tracks were updated in the past 120 days. That means 95 percent are not active with any regularity.
Whoa. I'm trying for two posts per week. It's only been a month since I started this thing, and I am still surprised by how long it takes me to write and publish an entry. Even if it's short, it takes several hours. What I've learned so far is not to start a new post on deadline day, but to have some ideas and maybe a preliminary draft in the hopper. (Of course, when I'm advising clients about starting a blog, I tell them to come up with a list of 10 topics before they begin. Easier to dish it out, apparently.)
Looking for inspiration, I asked some food bloggers about creativity and productivity. I started with Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen:
Q. Do you have an editorial calendar to determine blog posts?
A. Absolutely. Mondays and Tuesdays are my highest traffic days, so I usually post Sunday night or Monday morning, depending how good the TV shows are on Sunday nights. I also find time to post Wednesday or Thursday. Twice to three times a week is my norm.
Q. How far in advance do you write drafts?
A. I don't write drafts, unless they are recipes that I'm working on. Blogging is a spontaneous medium. I write exactly how I feel in the moment and I'd just feel strange if I was writing for tomorrow.
Q. How do you keep the inspiration flowing?
A. By having fantastic support group and friends like Elise (Simply Recipes), Diane (White on Rice Couple), and Bee ( Rasamalaysia). We're always throwing ideas back and forth, listening to each other rant and rave, and teaching each other things. We're a team. That's important. Plus there's a whole 'nother side of blogging that isn't talked about much: the "job" of blogging. My full time job is my blog, which is very different than 99% of others. The technical and monetization side of blogging certainly keeps me on my toes. Between those three areas, I get all the variety and excitement I need for the week.
Anytime I need inspiration or feel like I need a kick in the pants, I usually start a new branch or project. My newest one is Good Bite.
Q. How many hours per week do you spend on your blog?
A. You don't want to know.
Then I asked another veteran, Amy of Cooking with Amy, for advice. She said she's almost always composing posts in her head. "By the time I sit down to write it generally goes pretty quickly. I also no longer beat myself up if I only get one or two posts out a week. I try to write something then save it as a draft and return to it later to edit it." Sarah at Lettuce Eat Kale said she keeps an editorial calendar and plans a month ahead. She posts three times per week. "The best advice I got," she said, "Is post when you can, keep it fun. If it feels like a chore or burden or added stress, then step back and think about what your goals are. So far, I look forward to writing my posts."
Now I feel more encouraged. It's always satisfying to reach out an talk with people who know more about this than me. I also found a terrific article on ProBlogger, "Seven Ways to Keep Fresh Content Flowing. " And I'd like to learn more.
What about you? If you're a blogger, how do you keep the posts coming? Do you plan out an editorial calendar? Block out time in your datebook? Write lots of drafts and store them until ready? Please share your strategies with me. I'm the new kid on the block.

Deckelbaum Immigration - A History
In the mid-1990s I became very interested in genealogy, and in particular with the Deckelbaum name. My mother, who is really the historian in our family, related to me the genealogy of my father's family. Apparently we were able to trace the
Deckelbaum name
as far back as my great-great-grandfather Joseph, who came from a shtetl called Rafalovka, in modern-day Ukraine. There were Deckelbaums in the Washington DC area who were also descendants of Joseph, and therefore relatives of mine. My interest was heightened when I learned that there were other Deckelbaums in the USA who were not descendants of Joseph, and their relationship to us was unknown. I decided it would be interesting to research the immigration of Deckelbaums, using passenger records of immigrants arriving at various ports in the USA from 1880-1930. This research ended up consuming an entire year of my life, and for me it was a fascinating experience. I discovered that there were many other Deckelbaum families who emigrated from the same small shtetl where my great-great-grandfather lived. Yet still, I am unable to tie any of these families to mine. This website is my attempt to compile the data I researched, in a manner that hopefully will be meaningful for the descendants of all the Deckelbaum families from Rafalovka.
The site is organized in the following manner:
Passenger Lists
: Lists all of the Deckelbaums that I found in passenger records, and details their manifest entries.
Deckelbaum Families
: Identifies each of the Deckelbaum familes that I was able to piece together.
Rafalovka Web
: Gives a brief history and geography of the shtetl called Rafalovka.
: Contains memoirs of Rafalovka from various members of my Deckelbaum family.
: Lists surnames found in all of the Deckelbaum families on this website.
: Identifies the names of towns given as birthplace or last residence on the passenger records.
The content of this website has not been updated since 1999. I have not done any further research since then. ALL of the information I have is posted on this website.

Morsi defiant as trial begins
The Associated Press
| Tuesday, November 5, 2013, 10:05 a.m.
CAIRO — Ousted President Mohammed Morsi refused to wear a prison jumpsuit, entering the caged dock in a dark business suit as his co-defendants applauded. He defiantly questioned the legitimacy of the court and proclaimed himself still Egypt's leader. His fellow Muslim Brotherhood members chanted, "Down with military rule!"
Morsi's long-awaited trial got off to a chaotic start Monday, with outbursts and interruptions, and it was quickly adjourned until Jan. 8.
The dramatic first public appearance for Morsi since the July 3 military coup that removed him from power was meant to be a step toward due process. Instead, it highlighted the challenges facing Egypt's interim authorities as they attempt to close a chapter of his presidency, while his Islamist supporters seek to disrupt the effort.
Morsi and 14 co-defendants — seven of whom are still at large — are charged with inciting the killing of protesters who massed outside the presidential palace in December 2012 and demanded that he call off a referendum on a new Islamist-drafted constitution. Brotherhood members attacked a sit-in by the protesters, sparking clashes that left 10 people dead.
Before Monday's session began, silent video broadcast on state TV showed Morsi arriving in a minibus outside the makeshift courtroom at a police academy in eastern Cairo. He wore the dark suit, light shirt and no tie, flanked by burly policemen.
A smiling Morsi later walked into the cage in the court — still in the same garb, unlike his co-defendants in white prison jumpsuits. They stood in two lines like a presidential honor guard, applauding and raising their hands in a four-fingered gesture — commemorating the hundreds of his supporters killed when security forces moved to clear protest encampments in August. Another defendant — an aide held with him in the secret military location — also was in a suit.
Feisty and healthy-looking after four months of secret detention, the 62-year-old Morsi immediately started talking even before Judge Ahmed Sabry Youssef gave him the floor.
"What is going on now is a cover for a military coup," Morsi shouted in a voice that echoed through the courtroom. "I warn everybody. … I wish that the Egyptian judiciary would not become one day a cover for the military coup."
The defense lawyers clapped. Chants from his fellow defendants followed: "Down, down with military rule!"
Youssef tried to calm the raucous scene.
"This is enough. The court wants to carry on and provide you with the guarantees necessary" for a fair trial, he said.
But Morsi repeated at least four times, "I am the president of the republic."
He rejected the proceedings and said he had been forced to attend. "I am here by force and against my will. The coup is a crime and treason," he said
Morsi refused to enter a plea and demanded that he be given a microphone, although his voice was loud enough for everyone in the courtroom to hear.
"This is not my court," Morsi went on. "This court, with all due respect, doesn't have jurisdiction over the president. There is a military coup in this country. The leaders of this coup must be brought to trial according to the constitution."
At one point, some journalists in court shouted: "Execution, you will get execution, Morsi!"
Morsi had set the unruly tone, interrupting the judge, speaking when he wanted to, and once even talking over a defense lawyer. "I want to comment here," he said.
Similarly defiant was Mohammed el-Beltagy, a senior Brotherhood leader who repeatedly interrupted the judge.
"You are not paying attention. You will get the chance to speak," the judge told him.
Snapped el-Beltagy: "It is you who is not paying attention."
After a rowdy 10 minutes, Youssef adjourned the session because of the interruptions. When it resumed more than 75 minutes later, the lawyers had had their first meeting with Morsi and the co-defendants.
Lawyer Mohammed El-Damaty said Morsi spent most of the time inquiring about conditions in Egypt, his supporters and what happened during his detention.
At one point, Morsi addressed the security detail guarding him in a voice loud enough for the room to hear: "Let no one trick you again and make you kill (Egyptians). This is all for the benefit of the enemy, our enemies outside."
Reporters in the courtroom were not allowed to bring cameras, computers or cellphones as authorities sought to keep tight control on the proceedings.
The case against Morsi and the other defendants is rooted in complaints filed against them by rights activists at the time of the December riots. It is not related to events stemming from the coup, contrary to what Morsi's supporters maintain.
"This case is a turning point and the beginning of the downfall of Morsi," said Ragia Omran, a lawyer who represents two of the slain victims.
If convicted, Morsi and the other defendants could face the death penalty.
After the adjournment, Morsi was taken to Bourg el-Arab, a prison in the desert near the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. His co-defendants are being held in a prison near Cairo.
The military says it removed Morsi only after millions of Egyptians marched in the streets demanding his ouster, accusing him and the Brotherhood of trying to subvert the law and impose their will on the country during his year in office.
Morsi's supporters accuse the military of crushing Egypt's nascent democracy by overturning the results of multiple elections won by the Islamists since the 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising.
H.A. Hellyer, associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London and the Brookings Institution in Washington, said the trial will allow the Muslim Brotherhood and its backers "to take a public, political position denouncing the ouster of Morsi."
"For the state, it is an opportunity to show that the state's institutions are in control, and the Muslim Brotherhood period in power is to be consigned to history," he added.
Rights advocates expressed concern about the fairness of the trial, which is taking place amid a wide scale crackdown on the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies in which several thousand have been arrested and hundreds killed. The judicial system is stacked with Morsi's opponents.
Tamara el-Rifai, director of advocacy and communications at the New York-based Human Rights Watch, attended the trial and said her group was concerned that Morsi was detained without access to his lawyers.
She added: "If you want to address the death of protesters, you have to hold accountable security forces, and you have to look at all incidents and who issued the orders. You can't have selective justice."
Security was increased across Cairo for the start of the trial, with major squares closed to traffic, but large-scale violence didn't materialize. Only eight people were injured nationwide, and 53 Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested after clashes in the capital and other cities, officials said.
Hundreds of black-clad riot police were deployed at the police academy, backed by armored vehicles and hovering helicopters. The final stretch of road leading to the academy was sealed off, with only authorized personnel and accredited journalists allowed to approach.
The academy also was being used for the re-trial of Mubarak, who is charged with failing to stop the killing of some 900 protesters during the 18-day uprising that toppled his 29-year regime. Unlike Mubarak's first trial, the proceedings against Morsi were not broadcast live.
Several hundred Morsi supporters rallied outside the police academy. They chanted slogans against Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the military chief who led the coup. Some in the crowd attacked journalists and lawyers for the victims in the case.
Police fired in the air to separate them from Morsi's opponents. They also used tear gas to end clashes between the two sides at a major court complex in downtown Cairo. Police also used tear gas to disperse thousands of Morsi supporters in the southern city of Assiut.
Salma Fateen, a 40-year-old Morsi supporter, said the interim leaders are afraid to broadcast the trial live because they fear it will expose their "illegitimacy."
"Even if they hang Morsi, we will stay on the streets to get our constitution back and our parliament back," she said.
Ahmed Abdel-Mohsen, a 42-year-old engineer, said he was not impressed by Morsi's insistence he was still president. "His legitimacy has come to a dead end," he said.

Douglas McCauley and Paul DeSalles did not set out to discover one of the longest ecological interaction chains ever documented. But that's exactly what they and a team of researchers – all current or former Stanford students and faculty – did in a new study published in Scientific Reports.
Their findings shed light on how human disturbance of the natural world may lead to widespread, yet largely invisible, disruptions of ecological interaction chains. This, in turn, highlights the need to build non-traditional alliances – among marine biologists and foresters, for example – to address whole ecosystems across political boundaries.
This past fall, McCauley, a graduate student, and DeSalles, an undergraduate, were in remote Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific tracking manta rays' movements for a predator-prey interaction study. Swimming with the rays and charting their movements with acoustic tags, McCauley and DeSalles noticed the graceful creatures kept returning to certain islands' coastlines. Meanwhile, graduate student Hillary Young was studying palm tree cultivation's effect on native habitats nearby and wondering how the impact on bird communities would play out.
Palmyra is a unique spot on Earth where scientists can compare largely intact ecosystems within shouting distance of recently disturbed habitats. A riot of life – huge grey reef sharks, rays, snapper and barracuda – plies the clear waters while seabirds flock from thousands of miles away to roost in the verdant forests of this tropical idyll.
Over meals and sunset chats at the small research station, McCauley, DeSalles, Young and other scientists discussed their work and traded theories about their observations. "As the frequencies of these different conversations mixed together, the picture of what was actually happening out there took form in front of us," McCauley said.
Through analysis of nitrogen isotopes, animal tracking and field surveys, the researchers showed that replacing native trees with non-native palms led to about five times fewer roosting seabirds (they seemed to dislike palms' simple and easily wind-swayed canopies), which led to fewer bird droppings to fertilize the soil below, fewer nutrients washing into surrounding waters, smaller and fewer plankton in the water and fewer hungry manta rays cruising the coastline.
"This is an incredible cascade," said researcher Rodolfo Dirzo, a senior fellow with the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. "As an ecologist, I am worried about the extinction of ecological processes."
Equally important is what the study suggests about these cascades going largely unseen. "Such connections do not leave any trace behind," said researcher Fiorenza Micheli, an associate professor of biology affiliated with the Stanford Woods Institute. "Their loss largely goes unnoticed, limiting our understanding of and ability to protect natural ecosystems." McCauley put it another way: "What we are doing in some ecosystems is akin to popping the hood on a car and disconnecting a few wires and rerouting a few hoses. All the parts are still there – the engine looks largely the same – but it's anyone's guess as to how or if the car will run."
By way of comparison, researcher Robert Dunbar, a Stanford Woods Institute senior fellow, recalled the historical chain effects of increasing demands on water from Central California's rivers. When salmon runs in these rivers slowed from millions of fish each year to a trickle, natural and agricultural land systems lost an important source of marine-derived fertilizer. These lost subsidies from the sea are now replaced by millions of dollars' worth of artificial fertilizer applications. "Humans can really snip one of these chains in half," Dunbar said.
