EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has signed a four-year contract with the New York Giants.
The team gave Pierre-Paul the franchise tag last month, and reached the long-term deal Friday. A two-time Pro Bowl player, Pierre-Paul had gotten the franchise designation for the second time in three years.
Two summers ago, on July 4, Pierre-Paul's right hand was severely damaged in a fireworks accident in Florida. He missed the first half of that season, but JPP returned for the final eight games. He started all 12 games he played last year and has a strong finish as the Giants made the playoffs.
The 28-year-old Pierre-Paul said: "I'm back for four years and I'm ready to get after it."
New York also re-signed backup quarterback Josh Johnson and guard John Jerry.
Report: Raiders looking to acquire Marshawn Lynch
The Raiders are strongly considering luring retired star running back Marshawn Lynch out of retirement and back home to Oakland, ESPN reported Friday morning.
Lynch, who is still under contract with the Seahawks, is said to be trying to decide if he wants to come back to the NFL. If he were to come back, there appears to be mutual interest between Lynch and the Raiders.
Lynch retired after the 2015 season with 9,112 yards in 10 NFL seasons, but there is a chance "Beast Mode" could fill the gap in the Raiders' running attack caused by Latavius Murray's departure.
Source: QB Geno Smith leaves Jets for Giants
NEW YORK -- A person familiar with the decision tells the Associated Press that quarterback Geno Smith has agreed to terms with the New York Giants.
Like receiver Brandon Marshall last week, Smith is leaving the Jets but remaining in the same stadium. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.
The 26-year-old Smith was a second-round draft choice by the Jets in 2013, but his stint with them was marred by injuries and inconsistency. He also lost his starting job in 2015 after a teammate broke Smith's jaw with a punch during training camp.
When Smith did get onto the field last season, it was brief. Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched for poor play, but Smith tore his ACL in the second quarter against Baltimore and was done for the season.
The deal is pending Smith passing a physical.

Las Vegas! Even if you are not a big gambler, there is plenty to see and do if you have never been there before. See some shows, do a little gambling, shopping, touring, whatever is your thing.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:26 UTC
Try Barbados. Its pretty good.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:26 UTC
San Diego. Hands down. Then Bavaria and then the Caribbean.

Budget ?
Nothing too crazy, under 10K for two.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:27 UTC
If budget isn't an option, Prague is wonderful, Berlin is nice and Bulgaria is good. I'm going back to Bulgaria this august and im going dubai this april for 9 days. Perth is really nice as well

Only a day or two drive from where I am. Wouldn't mind heading up there though.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:34 UTC
There is always Hawaii. You can visit Pearl Harbor, Volcanoes, great beaches, and waterfalls.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:35 UTC
I had a blast at Hawaii. We stayed on Oahu in Honolulu. The only thing I didn't get to do on my list was snorkeling.
Things I did:
Whale watching
Checked out some waterfalls
Hiked up Diamond Head
Went to the beach
Chartered a fishing boat (caught mahi-mahi and tuna)
Checked out Pearl Harbor (toured the Missouri, Bowfin and the memorial)
Did a LOST tour.
...like a boss

Jan 27, 2012 at 9:37 UTC
I have for sometime now wanted to visit South America especially Patagonia region (Southern part of Argentina and Chile)
Supposed to be beautiful - mountains, lakes, beaches along the coastline
Maybe I get to go there in next few years. I think its totally possible under 10k for 2
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:38 UTC
Anything in the Carribean.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:40 UTC
You might check out all inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic.
As said above Jamaica is a good option too:
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:41 UTC
If you want history and beaches you can't really go wrong with France, Mediterranean coast has loads of great beaches and lots of historic towns/villages to visit (Google Carcassonne), if you go to the Atlantic coast near the Spanish boarder you can pop across and see Pamplona and San Sebastian as well as checking out the Andorra.
Would be going there this year myself if I could.
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:42 UTC
Scotland?? :)
Lovely beaches, some of the best driving roads in europe, rolling hills/mountains, haggis, lovely people, clean air, specialized bacon*, what more could you want?!?!?
(it's a tad chilly at the minute but the summer's normally good)
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:43 UTC
If you're trying to get away and have the budget, I'd recommend Raiatea (one of the Tahitian islands). Haven't been there in ages, but the beaches there are awesome.

"Manchester has everything except a beach". - Ian Brown
Jan 27, 2012 at 9:52 UTC
The beach, outdoors, and history, you say?
If you're looking for something smaller and more out-of-the-way; Bear Lake (either the Utah or Idaho side) is really quite lovely in late summer. Deep blue water, warm sand, gentle breezes. A little cold for my tastes, personally, but you are from Canada. ;-)
There's plenty to do recreation-wise, especially if you're the outdoorsy type . Minnetonka Cave, the Cache National Forest, Bloomington Lakes (with the enormous rope swing and cliff diving), wilderness trails galore, Old Juniper (one of the oldest trees in Utah, if I'm not mistaken), and so on and so forth. There is also the usual boat and jet ski rentals, ATV rentals, bike path (with family-sized four-wheeled bikes for rent), and the rest of the more touristy things.
And history? St. Charles, Paris, and other such towns were among the first settlements up there when the Mormons first started expanding from Salt Lake City. Many of the old brick buildings still stand and the Mormon tabernacle in St. Charles is especially impressive.
This is not to say that Bear Lake is without faults. It has evolved in my lifetime from small farming communities scattered around the lake to booming tourist towns (with exceptions like St. Charles and Paris). There are two scout camps, an utterly massive collection of private cabins, and ridiculously overpriced thematic hotels. I would, in fact, recommend camping away from the lake up Emigration Canyon where it is both quieter and much much cheaper. Or, heck, just buy my family's private cabin (which they're trying to sell for some unfathomable reason). It'll only set you back half a million, ;-)
In addition, the Lake goes through a cycle of high waters and low waters. It's been low for the past ten years revealing the beautiful sandy beaches wherever you go, but now I fear it has come back up and the only beaches to be found are the government-owned and privately held tourist attractions. Everywhere else is full of mud and reeds, unfortunately.
I should have gone into business writing tourist brochures, I seem to have let my enthusiasm carry me away. But, there you have it nonetheless. For what it's worth, I'd take Bear Lake over an overpopulated oceanic metropolis any day.

Scotland?? :)

Heh He's Canadain A "tad chilly" in Scotland is a nice spring day to us. =)
Been to the UK a couple... no three... I think... time and would go again. Also been to Vegas - always something to do and affordable on my budget... but not a lot of "history" there. UK has history, warmer weather than here on average, and well its an island nation I'm sure you can find a beach ;)

Divine simplicity
Divine simplicity is the doctrine that God is a simple entity. The doctrine has been adopted by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, although it is not universally accepted. It traces its roots back to Greek philosophy. It states that God supposedly has:
- no composition, no divisions or distinctions
- not complex, utterly simple
- indivisible, unchangeable, immutable, no potentiality to be in a different state
- no material substance or matter
- no accidental features
- maximal existence (perfection and goodness), not subject to time
- (according to Aquinas) is existence itself
- is pure act (no potentiality)
It is usually claimed that God does not have these attributes but is these attributes. This supposes God as quite unlike humans and effectively negates any comparison between human and divine thought. Divine simplicity is therefore an objection to the argument from design.
The terminology used in the definition is based on Middle Age ideas and divine simplicity is notoriously confusing. [1]
Divine simplicity is not explained in the Bible but rather in later theological writings based on Greek ideas. [1]
Use in apologetics
The concept of divine simplicity is used in various arguments, including:
It is also used to defend against counter-apologetic arguments:
Divine simplicity appears in counter-apologetics:
Counter arguments
Intelligence implies complexity
Every instance of intelligence we have experienced is a complex system including a physical body. If God is intelligent, then he also has these properties.
God apparently knows all the past, present and future of all things. He is therefore at least as complex as the universe.
An unchanging entity is not a mind
In Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, David Hume wrote:
- "A mind, whose acts and sentiments and ideas are not distinct and successive; one, that is wholly simple, and totally immutable, is a mind which has no thought, no reason, no will, no sentiment, no love, no hatred; or, in a word, is no mind at all."
Divine simplicity "entails that God does not stand in a real relation to creation." [1]
A simple God would have a single property
Alvin Plantinga pointed out a simple entity would have a single property. However, [2]
- "[this] seems flatly incompatible with the obvious fact that God has several properties; he has power and mercifulness, say, neither of which is identical with the other"
If God is asserted to have multiple attributes and distinctions, theologians must be careful to state this only exists in their minds and doesn't reflect on the nature of God. [1] The long list of attributes of divine simplicity are side to entail each other and not be distinct. God = good = timeless = knowledge = simplicity = immutable. This is a form of theological cognitive dissonance. "How can diverse concepts be identical when they clearly are not?" [1]
Nothing is simply their abstract properties
Alvin Plantinga argued that God cannot simply be his abstract properties and still be non-abstract: [2]
- "No property could have created the world; no property could be omniscient, or, indeed, know anything at all. If God is a property, then he isn't a person but a mere abstract object; he has no knowledge, awareness, power, love or life. So taken, the simplicity doctrine seems an utter mistake."
Properties do not subsist (self-maintain) themselves, God supposedly subsists. How can a God be identical to his act? [1]
The Trinity
The compatibility of the Trinity, "three persons in one God" with divine simplicity has been questioned: [1]
- "A common claim amongst contemporary theologians is that Christians must choose either the doctrine of the Trinity or the doctrine of divine simplicity. Interestingly, Islamic thinkers in the Middle Ages argued in a similar fashion against the doctrine of the Trinity. [My argument] reinforces these claims."
Apologists try to argue for the compatibility:
- "nor is simplicity inconsistent with the doctrine of the Trinity, for the term simple is not an antonym of 'twofold' or 'threefold' but of 'composite.' God is not composed of three persons, nor is each person composed of the being and attributes of that person, but the one uncompounded (simple) being of God exists in three persons. [3]"
- "God is one being, not three beings. Each Person of the Trinity is in full possession of the One Divine Nature. The persons do not share the one divine nature, it is not divided, it is always one. [4]"
This seems to be special pleading that divine simplicity only applies to God but not the Trinity. It seems to be impossible that the members of the Trinity are distinct if they are each "in full possession of the One Divine Nature".
Incarnation of God
If Jesus, an alleged incarnation of God, was "in full possession of the One Divine Nature", he was also divinely simple. However, this contradicts the Bible account of his incarnation, existing in time, apparently changing in time and having material form.
- "Defenders of divine simplicity must explain how a divine person who is simple can have properties and remain simple. [1]"
Theologians have argued that Jesus had two separate natures, or that the incarnation is a mystery. [5] This is a fudge to allow changing attributes for God. Does God really manifest itself in pure form or is it always combined with a another nature (like the human nature of Jesus)?
God acquires accidental properties through time
God acquires the properties of Lord, Redeemer based on Biblical events. Therefore he is subject to time and therefore not immutable. [1]
God is free to make choices
If God is free to make choices, he potentially could take an action and is therefore not "pure act". [1]
Angels also have some or all these attributes,
God does not have these attributes exclusively. Angels are also similar in nature and undermines the uniqueness of God.
The Old Testament says Moses changes God's mind
When the Israelites create a golden calf, God decides to punish them. Moses appeals to God, ironically using the sunk cost fallacy, and God's changes his mind. Exodus 32:9-14
"And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people."

Answer: "Well over a year."
Sometimes I get strange looks like I'm a bizarre Amish man when I say I don't like watching TV. Don't get me wrong, I love TV shows. I watch plenty of downloaded shows and love every season I have of Scrubs. I mean, I'm in the storytelling business for Pete's sake (I'll have to work out who this "Pete" guy is sometime).
I heard a statistic that in Australia people watch 7 hours of TV per week on average, a modest number. Generally it's seems like about 1/3 of TV is commercials, so that's say 2.5 hours per week. So that's roughly 10 hours per month - Seems like a bit, but it's not that bad. Over a year that would be 120 hours, so let's say 120/24= 6 days a year non-stop. Now if Joe Blo starts watching TV at 5 years old, and watches until he croaks it at 75, that's (70 years *6 day) 420 days in his life that he spends... not just watching TV.... JUST WATCHING COMMERCIALS!
That's "Well over a year".
If I really need know what the most fashionable shade of pink lipstick is, I can do my own research and find out, I don't need to be told 10 times a day.
Rant over.

The makers of the much-acclaimed film 'Masaan' have released its first song Tu Kisi Rail Si and it is indeed a refreshing one.
Composed by Indian Ocean, the song has been sung by Swanand Kirkire and written by Varun Grover, based on ghazal by Dushyant Kumar. However, it is the visual part of the song that wins hearts, thanks to the brilliant cinematography and the love-story that develops between the actors Vicky Kaushal and Shweta Tripathi.
The song shows how two people from Benares fall in love and express their love for each other during the Durga Puja festival, amidst a crowd of thousands. Director Neeraj Ghaywan takes it slow but makes it an interesting watch with facebook screen shots, balloons flying in the air and little nothings that the two use to express their love for each other.
Watch the song here:
'Masaan' also stars Richa Chaddha and Sanjay Mishra and releases on 24th July.

Volvo lifted the veil of its Concept 26 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The 26 in the name, is for the average commute time in the United States.
Concept 26 is Volvo's vision of what will happen when fully autonomous cars will be driving on the road. The concept is based on Volvo's all-new patented seat design which Volvo claims actively cradles the driver during the transformation phase into one of the three modes: Drive, Create or Relax.
Drive mode is the normal seating position, something we see even today. When the driver wants to delegate the driving duties to the autonomous system, the create or relax mode can be engaged.In Create mode, the steering wheel telescopes in and the driver seat slides back and out pops a tray table where you can put your laptop. In Relax mode, the seat slides and an ottoman deploys.
The center console will slide back in both modes, keeping drivers in touch with the Sensus infotainment system. A rather sizable display will fold out of the dash as well.

Interview: Tamara Muller
Die Arbeiten von Tamara Muller sind wirklich mehr als merkwürdig. Einerseits athmosphärisch und faszinierend, sind sie gleichzeitig erschreckend und seltsam.
Bemerkenswert ist, daß es so gut wie ausschliesslich um junge Mädchen geht, die allesamt das Gesicht der Künstlerin selbst tragen und mit Hasen, Katzen und Hamstern posieren — oftmals mit einem befremdlich sexualisierten Subtext.
Relativ lange habe ich überlegt, was ich davon eigentlich halten soll — so sehr passt Tamara Muller's Beschreibung der Dinge, die sie inspirieren, auch auf ihre Werke: Things that make you want to close your eyes and at the same time give you the urge to watch. Aber alleine der Umstand, daß die Bilder zum Nachdenken anregen, ist ein guter Grund für ein Feature.
The Past
With both parents being artists I was surrounded by works of art and could get my hands on lots of material to work with.
Diskursdisko: Hi Tamara. To start things off, what's your background? When did you start painting?
Tamara Muller: Since early childhood I have been drawing and painting. With both parents being artists I was surrounded by works of art and could get my hands on lots of material to work with. Because I liked so many artforms (music, theatre, books, film and photography) it took me some time to choose painting as most important medium.
I actually studied Graphic Design receiving also lessons in drawing, painting, photography and film. After graduating I started to paint 'for real'. Aside from that I made illustrations in newspapers for a while, and was engaged in theatrical activities. At one point I obtained a Masters of Fine Art degree and decided to focus at creating my own things.
The Art
I get inspired by things that make you want to close your eyes and at the same time give you the urge to watch.
Diskursdisko: How do you mainly produce your art? Do you have a system or method that you adhere to?
Tamara Muller: My method changes from time to time but in general this is the way I work: There is always the last series of paintings. From that I start thinking. Either I am gonna do it differently or I am not finished with it yet.
I read — books, newspapers, see movies, go to the theatre, walk through the woods — anything —I absorb and get new ideas. Then I start making photographs of myself. With my camera, or camera on my mobile telephone. (As I am the model of almost every person in the paintings). Sometimes I make sketches/collages.
After that I start painting (using photographs, sketches, and other material): first layer acrylic and than layers in oil.
Sometimes I stay close to the initial idea, sometimes the painting develops into something completely different.
I always work on more pieces at the time. The paint has to dry for days, so I can always keep busy. And working on all the paintings together I can keep an eye on the series as a whole.
Diskursdisko: What inspires you?
Tamara Muller: I get inspired by things that make you want to close your eyes and at the same time give you the urge to watch.
Diskursdisko: Your artwork is centered around portraits of young girls, often with rabbits and cats… The paintings seem strangely spooky to me, often bordering on the frightening — how did you develop this style? What's the background?
Tamara Muller: When I was a teenager, and later on as a student, I always felt the need to do self-portraits. My first solo exhibition consisted of a series of paintings portraying girls surrounded by puppets and small animals. I didn't dare to call these self-portaits, yet they showed my inner demons, fear and desire. … 'With a reference to Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, it could be argued her pseudo-self portraits reveal more about her inner life than her actual looks'…Tamara Muller – Parallel worlds, essay by Mette Gieskes.
As the work developed I tried to create some kind of interaction/play between the girls and the viewer. Less about only my inner world, more about the universal themes as power. As 'the outside world' played a bigger role in the work, the faces of the figures became more frequently my mirror image. By now these girls (with my face on) can play any role they want on the canvas: man, woman, girl or boy, beast or puppet.
The Web
Of all the work I have made I have kept only one 'small' painting myself.
Diskursdisko: Of all the work you've created, or at least the ones showcased on your website, can you name a couple that you have a special love for or connection to?
Tamara Muller: The work on my website is actually already a selection. Of all the work I have made I have kept only one 'small' painting myself. It's from the series dreamgirlsNR.1 2007- 50cm x50 cm. In fact that one is a real self-portrait.
The Future
I would like to work with new galleries in The Netherlands or abroad. But first I need to work.
Diskursdisko: Do you have any specific plans for the future direction of your artwork?
Tamara Muller: Over the last two years I made several series of work linked to either a space or theme: A series of small works for a Solo exhibition in Tokyo, where space was limited. A group exhibition in The Museum Of Modern Art- Arnhem called 'About a hunter, a girl and a wolf', and a series of works for a group-exhibition inspired by a trip to Malaysia together with 7 dutch artists.
Within these limitations I felt plenty of room to experiment, but having done these series I now feel the need to work freely and concentrated on new works with no limitations as time, theme or space.
I think I will start with a series of sketch/ collage/ drawings on paper and after that start on canvas. I do not know yet where these works will be exhibited. I would like to work with new galleries in The Netherlands or abroad. But first I need to work.
Diskursdisko: Tamara, many thanks for the interview – is there anything you'd like to add?
Tamara Muller: In the near future (autum 2009) my website will be renewed and updated!

Importance of Soil Macroflora in Maintaining Soil Physical Condition

Soil physically supports plants and acts as a reservoir for storing the water and nutrients required by the plants. Soils are complex mixtures of mineral particles of various shape and size; living and dead organic materials including microorganisms, roots, and plant and animal residues; air; and water (Fig. 1). The physical condition of the soil plays a large role in influencing the nature of biological and chemical reactions. Optimum plant growth depends on a favourable physical environment. It includes soil texture, soil structure, soil density, porosity, soil water, soil aeration and soil temperature. The discussion of soil physical environment begins with the sizes (texture) and arrangements (structure) of individual soil particles. These two characteristics intimately affect the pore space between the particles. The pore space is important as the conveyor of water, dissolved mineral nutrients, and air, as well as for providing space in which roots can grow. The soil is teeming with millions of living organisms which make it a living and a dynamic system. These organisms not only help in the improvement of soil physical condition but also carry out a number of transformations, facilitating the availability of nutrients to the plants. Besides improvements of soil physical condition, the organisms are also involved in the following:
1. Decomposition of organic matter.
2. Synthesis of humus substances in soil.
3. Biological transformation and cycling of mineral nutrients.
Soil macroflora (plant roots) create voids and macropores in the soil so that air and water can move through the soil. The roots supply food for microorganisms and burrowing soil fauna that also keep the soil from compaction. Bulk density can be increased from 12 to 35% compared with that of the bulk soil due to compressing action of growing root (Young, 1998). However, organic residues left behind by the decaying plants are lighter and less dense than clay, silt, and sand particles decreasing the average soil density (Six et al., 2004).
Root related processes affecting soil physical condition can be grouped into five categories:
1. Root penetration
2. Changed soil-water regimes
3. Root exudation
4. Dead root decomposition
5. Root entanglement
1. Root penetration
The compressing action of growing roots decreases soil porosity in the zone between roots and re-orientates clay particles along the root surface. Near the root surfaces, bulk density can be increased from 12 to 35% compared with that of the bulk soil. These modifications occur mostly within a 50-200 um zone around the roots (Dorioz et al., 1993), inducing the formation of microaggregates. In contrast, a decrease in macroaggregation after plant growth is partially due to the penetrating effect of roots into macropores. Materechera et al. (1994) found that, even at constant water potentials, roots decreased the proportions of already formed large water stable aggregates by 20-50%. However, water stable aggregation increased after air-drying the soil and nullified the disruptive effect of roots. During their study on soybean root morphology in soil with and without tillage pan in lower Mississippi river valley, Keisling et al ., 1995 found that roots were concentrated in areas above or besides compacted zone, but could not penetrate through it. In a nutshell, root penetration decreases the proportion of relatively unstable macroaggregates but increases the proportion of relatively stable microaggregates. However, differences in the root architecture (e.g. degree of branching, thickness of roots, etc.) will determine the overall influence of root penetration on aggregation (Carter et al., 1994). Materechera et al., 1992 found that the highest root length density was in Rye grass having highest bulk density and stability of aggregates (Table 1). This might be due to differences in the rooting densities of the three plant species, because root growth resulted in a slight compaction of soil caused by volume expansion of the roots. The overall influence of root penetration on soil physical condition depends on root mass, root density, size distribution, and root turnover and root length.
Table 1. Different plant species as a function of bulk density and stability of aggregates.
2. Changed soil-water regimes
Soil roots also influence aggregation through modifying the soil water status in several ways. First, plant water uptake causes a localized drying of the soil, which promotes the binding of root exudates on clay particles (Reid and Goss, 1982). Second, root exudation reduces the wetting rate by occluding pores or increasing pore tortuosity, thereby reducing slaking of aggregates (Caron et al., 1996). Third, water flows preferentially along living roots due to the presence of a saturated film of water along the roots.
3. Root exudation
As plant roots release organic material within the rhizosphere (rhizodeposition), they directly and indirectly affect soil physical condition. Mucilages produced by roots may stick soil particles directly together. Root mucilage such as polygalacturonic acid may stabilize aggregates by increasing bond strength (Czarnes et al., 2000). Roots can also alter the ionic and osmotic balance in the rhizosphere through nutrient uptake and rhizodeposition, which can affect aggregation. The degree of influence by roots on soil structure through root exudation is very variable as production and composition of mucilages depend on water regime, plant species, time, soil depth.
4. Dead root decomposition
During the decomposition of dead roots, soil structure will be promoted, resulting in improvement of soil physical condition, by increasing soil microbial activity, then decreasing bulk density, compaction thereby increasing soil porosity, water availability and ultimately, increasing crop productivity. The magnitude of the effect depends on the amount and the decomposability of the material.
5. Root entanglement
The entanglement of particles by roots to form and stabilize macroaggregates has been emphasized in many studies (Tisdall and Oades, 1982; Jastrow et al., 1998). However, it is difficult to separate the influence of entanglement versus exudation by roots. In addition, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are often associated with root systems, further complicating the separation of the effects of roots versus AM fungi and their exudates. Nevertheless, Thomas et al. (1993) tried to separate the influence of AM fungi from soybean roots by using a screen only permeable for hyphae and not for roots. They concluded that both fungi and roots increased aggregation. Rillig et al. (2002b), on the other hand, concluded that the positive effect of roots on aggregation was mainly due to the excretion of a soil protein glomalin by AM fungi. They found an increase in root weights concomitant with a decrease both in macroaggregation and in soil glomalin following an artificial increase of temperature.
Therefore, soil macroflora especially roots of higher plants play very important role in soil physical condition improvement which affects plant growth by influencing root distribution and the ability to take up water and nutrients. Good physical condition facilitates oxygen and water infiltration and can improve water stable aggregates, water storage, increasing fertilizer use efficiency in plants, ultimately, improves productivity of soil.

Ujung Kulon National Park
UNESCO World Heritage Site in Java
On the westernmost tip of Java lies one of Indonesia's most interesting and untouched nature reserves. The largest remaining lowland rainforest area in Java, Ujung Kulon National Park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991.
The park encompasses the Ujung Kulon peninsula, the Gunung Honje mountains to the east, Panaitan Island and several smaller islands including Peucang and the Krakatau range. It was the spectacular eruption of Krakatau in 1883 that led to the return of the forest to this previously-inhabited area, and to the abundance of plant and animal life we can enjoy there now.Read More
Ujung Kulon is best known for its population of endangered Javan rhinos, but you will also find deer, monkeys, wild pigs and cattle, and giant monitor lizards, many of which will wander freely around your tourist lodge. Leopards and crocodiles can be spotted occasionally too. Some encouraging news about the extremely rare Javan rhinoceros emerged in early 2011, when two females were filmed with their calves. Divers and snorkelers will appreciate the many species of fish, green turtles and other marine animals that live among the coral reefs and in the ocean depths.
Ujung Kulon National Park is perhaps more suited to the adventurous traveler than to someone who demands constant five-star pampering, although there are luxurious lodgings nearby at Tanjung Lesung. For anyone who wants to spend a few days away from the crush of humanity found in the rest of Java, the park is a rare treat, however. Surprisingly few people visit Ujung Kulon – partly because it is not widely promoted – but this has helped keep the natural environment pristine and the wildlife thriving. Trek across the plains and into the jungle on foot, or paddle a canoe deep into the forest and you will gain an up-close view of this unique national park.
By a quirk of nature, it was a catastrophic event that produced the unspoilt environment that allows us to enjoy Ujung Kulon National Park today. The mainland portion of Ujung Kulon was inhabited and farmed until 1883, when the dramatic eruption of Krakatau and the resulting tsunami devastated the entire region. Those humans who did not perish fled, and the land reverted to forest. Animal and plant life flourished, and the area was declared a hunting reserve in 1910.
Panaitan and Peucang Islands were turned into a nature reserve in 1937, with the Ujung Kulon peninsula following in 1958 and Gunung Honje in 1967. The complex became a national park in 1980, and Krakatau, which had been a nature reserve since 1921, was included in 1983. UNESCO declared Ujung Kulon National Park, Java's largest remaining lowland forest area, a World Heritage Site in 1991. In 2005, it was also named an ASEAN Heritage Park.
Highlights and Features
• Ujung Kulon is one of only two places in the world where the Javan rhinoceros is found in the wild. However, with only 50 to 60 of the surprisingly shy rhinos left in the park, they are rarely seen.
• Fortunately there are many other animals, including wild pigs, cattle and dogs, sambar deer, otters, leaf monkeys, gibbons, crab-eating macaques, green turtles and monitor lizards, along with 270 species of bird. Small numbers of leopards also live in the forests, and some crocodiles in the river estuaries.
• The area's rich volcanic sediments support a wide variety of fish, coral and other marine life, making the waters great for snorkeling and diving. Swimmers and sunbathers will also enjoy the many white, sandy beaches, notably on Peucang and Panaitan Islands.
• You can take a canoe or small boat up one of Ujung Kulon's many rivers to experience the dense, untouched rainforest and its wealth of flora and fauna.
• There are also some interesting Hindu temples, ruins and pilgrimage sites dotted around the park.
• For a fascinating day trip, hire a boat to the Krakatau islands to see the frequent minor eruptions, as well as the new island of Anak Krakatau that is still growing by around seven metres a year. You can also experience the new ecosystem that developed on the islands following the devastating eruption of 1883.
Good to Know and What not to Miss
• The dry season (April to October), when trekking is easier and the sea is calm, is the best time to visit Ujung Kulon.
• To avoid getting malaria, get a doctor's prescription for malaria tablets and take them as directed.
• You should also bring plenty of mosquito repellent and a small first aid kit.
• The only restaurant in the park is on Peucang Island, so stock up on food and drinking water in Tamanjaya, or in Sumur or Labuan where there is a greater choice. If you join a tour, food is likely to be provided (check beforehand); the park wardens can also arrange meals on request.
• Accommodation options are limited to a guesthouse on Peucang Island, a few homestays in Tamanjaya and Sumur, and a couple of hotels a bit further afield. It is therefore essential to arrange lodging ahead of time.
• Do not cut plants, or capture, hurt or kill animals or marine life within Ujung Kulon National Park. Dispose of waste in a responsible manner, and make sure any fires you light are completely extinguished before you move on.
• Wear a long-sleeved shirt or T-shirt and long trousers, as well as knee-length boots that will protect you from rattan thorns. Leeches are common in wet areas, so wear thick socks and tuck your trouser legs into your boots to keep them out!
• The park office sometimes has copies of the excellent Visitor's Guidebook to the Trails of Ujung Kulon National Park. Buy one if you see it!
- Opening Hours: The park does not have set opening hours, although the park offices in Tamanjaya on the mainland and on Peucang Island are only open during daylight hours
- How to get there: As the roads in and around the park are rather poor, the easiest way to get to Ujung Kulon is by chartered boat from Anyer or Carita, a journey of two to four hours. You can catch a public bus from Kalideres bus station in West Jakarta to either town. If you do not mind braving the roads, which are in particularly bad shape after Labuan (60 kilometres from Sumur) there are also buses via Labuan from Kalideres to Sumur and Tamanjaya (4 hours), which border the park on the mainland. For greater comfort and flexibility you might prefer to hire a car and driver in Jakarta for the whole trip. However, during the rainy season there are times when a motorcycle taxi (ojek) is your only local land transport option after Labuan.

Having trouble with conditional logicAsked by pracegroupinc on December 29, 2016 at 05:48 AM
Hi there,
I have a form with 7 pages and at the end of each page I have a question requiring a Yes or No answer to proceed to the next page. If the answer is NO then my condition is to hide all pages until the end where visitors sign a Terms and Conditions and a few other questions before submitting.
I've tested it on my site and once I say No then press the next button, the form completely disappears.
I tried a process of elimination to see which condition could be causing a problem, but the condition only works once at the end so I had to stop using them.
I know it's holiday time, but can you help?
Thank you
Ingrid Chester
I noticed that you mentioned in the other thread , that the issue is resolved.
Thanks for updating us.
Happy Holidays

Prison Reform of the U.S. (1830s-1850s)
In 1835, the House of Lord's Committee set a series of reports for goals of government corporations. This included improving the prison system with a draft of the Prison's Act 1835. They wanted to do things such as making it a place to teach discipline and order to prisoners, forms of solitary confident, and overall providing a place of transformation to mentally and physically in the penitentiary systems. They even had name changes such as "correctional facilities" and "reformatories" But problems worsened with prisoners fighting wardens back, and many had nervous breakdowns and committed suicide.
Leaders of this generation came about and wanted more change in the prison systems. Samuel Gridley Howe, for example, had goals of libraries, teaching literacy, stop beating and whipping, and disallow separation among women, children, and sick.
It consisted of two new systems to improve the prisons:
Auborn- Began in Auborn, New York in 1821. Inmates had individual sleeping cells and silently worked in shops everyday. Specifically focused on teaching discipline.
Pennsylvania- "Cherry Hill Penitentiary" and "Eastern State Penitentiary" in 1829. Used solitary confinement instead of work for enforcement. Had no visitors or mail. Some cells had toilets that flushed, proper sanitation, and central heating. Over all very influential.
This political cartoon shows how overcrowded prisons were. By showing all these prisoners barely fitting into a large barrel the reader can conclude that these prisons were small and overcrowded.
This is how convicts exercised in Pentonville Prison. In this image it appears that these prisoners are walking with masks on and they are all holding on to a rope. This was supposed to be their exercise. The reader can then conclude that they didn't get much exercise if they had to work in a line of prisoners all holding onto the same rope. Thus Prison Reformers wanted a change so that these prisoners would be able to excercise how they wanted to.

My dear friend.
I arrived safely at home last 3d day and found my dear family as well as usual but my poor husband still in a low state and certainly events as we have passed through are very very shaking as to this life. (6) I feel the weight of the cloud upon my return after being a little diverted from it by the interesting objects of our journey.
I think that I engaged to give some little hinds of my view of the state of your debt prison therefore I will endeavour to do it.
In the first place I consider the want of the separation of the sexes the most crying evil and a must unjustifiable exposure of the morals of both parties and that something should be done at once to remedy it at least the womens room should be locked up at night and they should have a bell that they could ring if they want anything in the night - I think they should certainly be allowed firing as well as bread which is after all a scanty allowance for them. There should be a divine service at least once a week and a suitable place for it as it is wrong and hard that prisoners for debt should be excluded the privilege of attending a place of worship. Thus far I think that the gentleman whose place it is should be induced to have these things attended to - then I see that much may be done by benevolent ladies or gentlemen frequently visiting these poor creatures reading to them instructing them giving them books (as he has already done) and endeavouring to induce the poor prisoners to make such use of their times as may prove a blessing to them in after life also some attention might at times be paid to their families. I do not know that I have more to say upon the subject except to express my desire that a few of my dear friends at Sheffield may be induced to visit these poor persons because I do believe they would find it do good and very likely be blessed to many.
I remember with gratitude thy great kindness to me also C-T's (7) attention. After all I have passed through I feel the kindness and love of my dear friends a great cordial to me -
I could send my love to may at Sheffield but particularly wish to have it given to Mary Hargrave.
My kind remembrances to the Harrisons - and believe me with feeling of much love to thee and thy companion
thy Obliged friend,
Elizabeth Fry. "
In this letter from Elizabeth Fry to Sarah Smith Fry tells Sarah about her views on debtor prisons. She tells Sarah that Prisons should have "separation of sexes." Fry says that in these prisons horrible things happen to women at night. She then goes on describing the prison and the people in the prison. In the end she then states that "that something should be done at once" to fix out penal system.
The cause of the Prison Reforms were because of unsatisfactory conditions in prisons as well as Humanitarian Reformers such as Dorothea Dix, Francis Lieber, Samuel Gridley Howe whose goals were to have prison libraries, basic literacy, and a reduction of whippings, beatings, as well as separation of women, children, and the sick within prisons.
The effect of these reforms were that by 1835, America was considered to have two of the "best" prisons in the world.
In reality it became clear that even with the hard work of these reformers and the help of outsiders, prisoners were often no better off, and often worse off, for their incarceration.
Yet these Humanitarian reformers has only begun a crusade to alleviate the human suffering that continues today.

I made this quilt for my sister-in-law, Lorrie. She moved to Florida, but still loves the New Jersey beaches the best.
Because the NJ beaches are what is special to Lorrie, her special peaceful place, I made her this quilt. I wanted to show her with this "no special occasion" gift that she is loved and special to God, and he loves giving her good gifts, gifts that show that he knows what she loves and delights in blessing her.
I used Snails Trail blocks made with ocean blue batik (I think they look like waves) I placed a large quilted landscape scene in the center, based on a photo of a New Jersey beach.

Arizona Legislature Opening Day Draws Hundreds of Protesters
Under the first sunny skies Phoenix has seen in about a week, hundreds of people marked the opening day of the 2016 Arizona legislative session with a giant rally outside the state Capitol.
Some carried large colorful signs and wore T-shirts for their cause du jour, while other marched around the lawn, chanted slogans, or tried to get people to sign their petitions. There was even a one-man drum circle.
As state senators and representatives arrived to listen to Governor Doug Ducey's State of the State address, they first had to walk by the throngs of people determined to have their voices heard.
Causes ranged from education and marijuana legalization to the environment and women's health — even the civil liberties of motorcycle riders were represented by a few dozen tattooed bikers.
In fact, there was such a flurry of banners for various causes that you'd be forgiven for thinking the rally was some sort of college activities fair or club signup day.
On the north side of the Capitol lawn, Kat Grover and her biker friends with the Arizona Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs congregated to push against a mandatory helmet bill and to call for an end to what they say is the rampant "profiling and discrimination" against bikers by law enforcement.
"They generalize that anyone who has a certain patch . . . or dresses a certain way is part of an 'outlaw motorcycle gang,'" says Grover, who serves as secretary of the Club.
She calls it a stereotype based on TV depictions and stories about the Hells Angels.
"There's a difference between a motorcycle gang and a motorcycle club. We're a social club [that frequently focuses] on charity work."
Kat Grover (left) and her biker buddies.
Miriam Wasser
As Grover and her friends agree that the plight of bikers sounds an awful lot like that of racial minorities in the country, a loud group of about hundred demonstrators walks by.
Leading this pack of protesters are Jodi Liggett from Planned Parenthood Arizona and Dulce Juarez from the ACLU of Arizona. The group members chant slogans about women's rights, civil liberties, and racial equality as they circle the lawn.
Nearby, another loud and prominent group from the Campaign to Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in Arizona stands with its signs and petitions.
It's clear that activists from many of the groups overlap, and while the motorcyclists stick mostly to the north side, the other few hundred demonstrators mill about the lawn.
The loudest voice in the mix is the solo drummer, who travels from group to group, banging away on his drum and making up rhyming chants. He sings about stopping copper mining in Oak Flat, the U.S. prison-industrial complex, the danger of GMOs, legalized marijuana, and the state's underfunded education system.

Predictions for the upcoming legislative session range from pessimistic to really pessimistic:
Liggett with Planned Parenthood says she expects to see a number of bills targeting her organization and its ability to provide healthcare to thousands of women and men in the state – "It happens every session" she says, " some awful surprise for women's health."
Sandy Bahr from the Sierra Club says she anticipates another "challenging year" of trying to stop the Legislature from doing harm to the environment, and Julie Erfle of Progress Now Arizona says we should expect "more of the same: More tax cuts, more excuses why we can't take car of our kids.
"People need to understand that every time Ducey proposes a tax cut, it means less [money] for kids," she says.
Local activist Stacey Champion, who helped organize the day's events, characterizes a typical year in the Arizona Legislature as "two steps forward, 10 steps back."
"How do you spell 'ugghh,'" Champion adds.
And sure enough, as the demonstrators described their worries and fears for the 2016 legislative session, Ducey was inside the Capitol addressing — or, depending on whom you ask, substantiating — many of those concerns in his State of the State address.
**Editor's Note: a previous version of this article incorrectly identified the Campaign to Legalize Marijuana in Arizona as the Arizona Campaign Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
