Statutes of limitations are laws passed by legislative bodies in common law systems to set the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated.[1]
When the period of time specified in a statute of limitations passes, a claim might no longer be filed, or, if filed, may be liable to be struck out if the defense against that claim is, or includes, that the claim is time-barred as having been filed after the statutory limitations period. When a statute of limitations expires in a criminal case, the courts no longer have jurisdiction. Most crimes that have statutes of limitations are distinguished from serious crimes as these may be brought at any time.
In civil law systems, similar provisions are typically part of their civil or criminal codes and known collectively as periods of prescription. The cause of action dictates the statute of limitations, which can be reduced (or extended) to ensure a fair trial.[2] The intention of these laws is to facilitate resolution within a "reasonable" length of time.[3] What period of time is considered "reasonable" varies from country to country, and within countries such as the United States from state to state.[4][5] Within countries and states, the statute of limitations may vary from one civil or criminal action to another. Some nations have no statute of limitations whatsoever.
Analysis of a statute of limitations also requires the examination of any associated statute of repose, tolling provisions, and exclusions.
Common law legal systems can include a statute specifying the length of time within which a claimant or prosecutor must file a case. In some civil jurisdictions (e.g., California),[1] a case cannot begin after the period specified, and courts have no jurisdiction over cases filed after the statute of limitations has expired. In some other jurisdictions (e.g., New South Wales, Australia), a claim can be filed which may prove to have been brought outside the limitations period, but the court will retain jurisdiction in order to determine that issue, and the onus is on the defendant to plead it as part of their defence, or else the claim will not be statute barred.
Once filed, cases do not need to be resolved within the period specified in the statute of limitations.
The purpose and effect of statutes of limitations are to protect defendants. There are three reasons for their enactment:[6]
In Classical Athens, a five-year statute of limitations was established for all cases except homicide and the prosecution of non-constitutional laws (which had no limitation). Demosthenes wrote that these statutes of limitations were adopted to control "sycophants" (professional accusers).[7]
The limitation period generally begins when the plaintiff's cause of action accrues, meaning the date upon which the plaintiff is first able to maintain the cause of action in court, or when the plaintiff first becomes aware of a previous injury (for example, occupational lung diseases such as asbestosis).
A statute of repose limits the time within which an action may be brought based upon when a particular event occurred (such as the completion of construction of a building or the date of purchase of manufactured goods), and does not permit extensions. A statute of limitations is similar to a statute of repose, but may be extended for a variety of reasons (such as the minority of the victim).
For example, most U.S. jurisdictions have passed statutes of repose for construction defects.[8][9][10][11] If a person receives an electric shock due to a wiring defect that resulted from the builder's negligence during construction of a building, the builder is potentially liable for damages if the suit is brought within the time period defined by the statute, normally starting with the date that construction is substantially completed. After the statutory time period has passed, without regard to the nature or degree of the builder's negligence or misconduct, the statute of repose presents an absolute defense to the claim.
Statutes of repose are sometimes controversial; manufacturers contend that they are necessary to avoid unfair litigation and encourage consumers to maintain their property. Alternatively, consumer advocates argue that they reduce incentives to manufacture durable products and disproportionately affect the poor, because manufacturers will have less incentive to ensure low-cost or "bargain" products are manufactured to exacting safety standards.
Many jurisdictions suspend, or toll, the limitation period under certain circumstances such as if the aggrieved party (plaintiff) was a minor or filed a bankruptcy proceeding. In those instances, the running of limitations is tolled, or paused, until the condition ends. Equitable tolling may also be applied if an individual may intimidate a plaintiff into not reporting or has been promised a suspended period.
The statute of limitations may begin when the harmful event, such as fraud or injury, occurs or when it is discovered. The US Supreme Court has described the "standard rule" of when the time begins as "when the plaintiff has a complete and present cause of action." The rule has existed since the 1830s.[12] A "discovery rule" applies in other cases (including medical malpractice), or a similar effect may be applied by tolling.
As discussed in Wolk v. Olson, the discovery rule does not apply to mass media such as newspapers and the Internet; the statute of limitations begins to run at the date of publication. In 2013, the US Supreme Court of the United States unanimously ruled in Gabelli v. SEC that the discovery rule does not apply to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's investment-advisor-fraud lawsuits since one of the purposes of the agency is to root out fraud.[13]
In private civil matters, the limitations period may generally be shortened or lengthened by agreement of the parties. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, the parties to a contract for sale of goods may reduce the limitations period to one year but not extend it.
Limitation periods that are known as laches may apply in situations of equity; a judge will not issue an injunction if the requesting party waited too long to ask for it. Such periods are subject to broad judicial discretion.
For US military cases, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) states that all charges except those facing court-martial on a capital charge have a five-year statute of limitations. If the charges are dropped in all UCMJ proceedings except those headed for general court-martial, they may be reinstated for six months after which the statute of limitations has run out.
In civil law countries, almost all lawsuits must be brought within a legally-determined period known as prescription. Under Italian[14] and Romanian law,[15] criminal trials must be ended within a time limit.
In criminal cases, the public prosecutor must lay charges within a time limit which varies by jurisdiction and varies based on the nature of the charge; in many jurisdictions, there is no statute of limitations for murder.[citation needed] Over the last decade of the 20th century, many United States jurisdictions significantly lengthened the statute of limitations for sex offenses, particularly against children, as a response to research and popular belief that a variety of causes can delay the recognition and reporting of crimes of this nature.[citation needed]
Common triggers for suspending the prescription include a defendant's fugitive status or the commission of a new crime. A criminal may be convicted in absentia.[16] Prescription should not be confused with the need to prosecute within "a reasonable delay" as obligated by the European Court of Human Rights.
Under international law, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are usually not subject to the statute of limitations as codified in a number of multilateral treaties. States ratifying the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity agree to disallow limitations claims for these crimes. In Article 29 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes "shall not be subject to any statute of limitations".
The Limitations Act of 1958 allows 12 years for victims of child abuse to make a claim, with age 37 the latest at which a claim can be made. The police submitted evidence[17][not in citation given] to a commission, the Victorian Inquiry into Church and Institutional Child Abuse (in existence since 2012) indicating that it takes an average of 24 years for a survivor of child sexual abuse to go to the police.[18] According to Attorney General Robert Clark, the government will remove statutes of limitations on criminal child abuse; survivors of violent crime should be given additional time, as adults, to deal with the legal system.[19] Offenders of minors and the disabled have used the statute of limitations to avoid detection and prosecution, moving from state to state and country to country; an example presented to the Victorian Inquiry was the Christian Brothers.[20]
An argument for abolishing statutes of limitations for civil claims by minors and people under guardianship is ensuring that abuse of vulnerable people would be acknowledged by lawyers, police, organisations and governments, with enforceable penalties for organisations which have turned a blind eye in the past. Support groups such as SNAP Australia,[21] Care Leavers Australia Network[22] and Broken Rites have submitted evidence to the Victoria inquiry,[23] and the Law Institute of Victoria[24] has advocated changes to the statute of limitations.
For crimes other than summary conviction offences, there is no statute of limitations in Canadian criminal law. For indictable (serious) offences such as major theft, murder, kidnapping or sexual assault, a defendant may be charged at any future date;[25] in some cases, warrants have remained outstanding for more than 20 years.[26]
Civil law limitations vary by province,[27] with Ontario introducing the Limitations Act, 2002 on January 1, 2004.[28]
In Germany, the statute of limitations on crimes varies by type of crime, with the highest being 30 years for voluntary manslaughter (Totschlag). Murder, genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crime of aggression have no statute of limitations.
Murder used to have 20 years' statute of limitations, which was then extended to 30 years in 1969. The limitations were abolished altogether in 1979, to prevent Nazi criminals from avoiding criminal liability.
For most other criminal offences, the statute of limitations is set by Section 78(3) of the Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch) as follows:
In the civil code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), the regular statute of limitations is three years (plus the time until the end of the calendar year). However, different terms between two and thirty years may apply in specific situations. For example, the term is only two years for claims for alleged defects of purchased goods, but 30 years for claims resulting from a court judgement (such as awarded damages).
The statute of limitations in India is defined by the Limitations Act, 1963.[30]
The statute of limitations for criminal offences is governed by Sec. 468 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The statute of limitations on murder was abolished by a change in law on 1 July 2014, causing any murders committed after 1 July 1989 to have no statute of limitations. This led to the national police force implementing a new investigation group for old cases called the "Cold Case" group. The law was also changed to let cases involving domestic violence, forced marriage, human trafficking and genital mutilation to count from the day the defendant turns 18 years old. Cases where the statute of limitations has already passed can not be extended due to the constitution preventing it.[31]
In July 2015, the National Assembly abolished a 25-year-old statute on first degree murder; it had previously been extended from 15 to 25 years in December 2007.
Unlike other European countries, the United Kingdom has no statute of limitations for any criminal offence. Following a number of acquittals and wrongful convictions of people charged with serious sexual crimes alleged to have been committed several decades prior, there has been some debate as to whether there should be a statute of limitations for historical rape and sexual assault cases, as prosecutions rely solely on personal testimonies and have no physical or scientific evidence due to the passage of time.[32]
In the United States, statutes of limitations may apply to both civil lawsuits and to criminal prosecutions. Statutes of limitations vary significantly between U.S. jurisdictions.
A civil statute of limitations applies to a non-criminal legal action, including a tort or contract case.[4] If the statute of limitations expires before a lawsuit is filed, the defendant may raise the statute of limitations as an affirmative defense to seek dismissal of the charge.
A criminal statute of limitations defines a time period during which charges must be initiated for a criminal offense.[33] If a charge is filed after the statute of limitations expires, the defendant may obtain dismissal of the charge.[34]
The statute of limitations in a criminal case only runs until a criminal charge is filed and a warrant is issued, even if the defendant is a fugitive.[35]
When the identity of a defendant is not known, some jurisdictions provide mechanisms to initiate charges and thus stop the statute of limitations from running. For example, some states allow an indictment of a "John Doe" defendant based upon a DNA profile derived from evidence obtained through a criminal investigation.[36] Although rare, a grand jury can issue an indictment in absentia for high-profile crimes to get around an upcoming statute of limitations deadline. One example is the skyjacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 by D.B. Cooper in 1971. The identity of D. B. Cooper remains unknown to this day, and he was indicted under the name "John Doe, aka Dan Cooper." [37]
Crimes considered heinous by society have no statute of limitations. Although there is usually no statute of limitations for murder (particularly first-degree murder), judges have been known to dismiss murder charges in cold cases if they feel the delay violates the defendant's right to a speedy trial.[38] For example, waiting many years for an alibi witness to die before commencing a murder trial would be unconstitutional. In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court in Stogner v. California ruled that the retroactive extension of the statute of limitations for sexual offenses committed against minors was an unconstitutional ex post facto law.[39]
Under the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), desertion has no statute of limitations.[40]
Maritime Injury Law
Under 46 U.S. Code § 30106, "Except as otherwise provided by law, a civil action for damages for personal injury or death arising out of a maritime tort must be brought within 3 years after the cause of action arose." There are some exceptions to this, primarily with regard to Jones Act cases filed against the government, in which case the statute of limitations can be less than 2 years. [41]
|No statute of limitations
U.S. jurisdictions recognize exceptions to statutes of limitation that may allow for the prosecution of a crime or civil lawsuit even after the statute of limitations would otherwise have expired. Some states stop the clock for a suspect who is not residing within the state or is purposely hiding. Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina have no statutes of limitation for felonies, while Wyoming includes misdemeanors as well. However, the right to speedy trial may derail any prosecution after many years have passed.[42]
When an officer of the court is found to have fraudulently presented facts to impair the court's impartial performance of its legal task, the act (known as fraud upon the court) is not subject to a statute of limitation. Officers of the court include lawyers, judges, referees, legal guardians, parenting-time expeditors, mediators, evaluators, administrators, special appointees and any others whose influence is part of the judicial mechanism. Fraud upon the court has been defined by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to "embrace that species of fraud which does, or attempts to, defile the court itself, or is a fraud perpetrated by officers of the court so that the judicial machinery cannot perform in the usual manner its impartial task of adjudging cases that are presented for adjudication".[43] In Bulloch v. United States, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled: "Fraud upon the court is fraud which is directed to the judicial machinery itself and is not fraud between the parties or fraudulent documents, false statements or perjury ... It is where the court or a member is corrupted or function—thus where the impartial functions of the court have been directly corrupted."[44]
In tort law, if a defendant commits a series of illegal acts against another person (or in criminal law if someone commits a continuing crime) the limitation period may begin to run from the last act in the series. In the 8th Circuit case of Treanor v. MCI Telecommunications, Inc., the court explained that the continuing-violations doctrine "tolls [freezes] the statute of limitations in situations where a continuing pattern forms due to [illegal] acts occurring over a period of time, as long as at least one incident ... occurred within the limitations period."[45] Whether the continuing-violations doctrine applies to a particular violation is subject to judicial discretion; it was ruled to apply to copyright infringement in Taylor v. Meirick (712 F.2d 1112, 1119; 7th Cir. 1983) but not in Stone v. Williams (970 F.2d 1043, 1049–50; 2d Cir. 1992).[46]

SEDALIA, Mo. --A 77-year-old Wal-Mart greeter is now a Facebook phenom, all because he's so loved by customers.Clyde Smith, or "Smitty," as he's known, makes a living being friendly to people at a Wal-Mart in Sedalia, Mo.
He's so good at his job, a local seventh grader created a Facebook page in his honor.
He now has nearly 6,000 fans.
And here's the kicker: Smitty didn't even own a computer and had no idea what Facebook was until recently.
"Every day, they come in the store and say, 'You're on Facebook.' and I say, 'I am? What is that?' Smitty says.
Smitty says he's flattered by the attention, but adds he's just doing his job.

FRYEBURG – A Cape Neddick man had to be rescued from the Saco River Sunday afternoon when the canoe he was paddling, capsized during a hailstorm.
Fryeburg's Acting Police Chief Joshua Potvin said the 50-year-old man, whose name is not being released, was paddling on the Saco River around 3 p.m. when a hailstorm suddenly came up and tipped his canoe over.
Fryeburg police, fire, and rescue workers launched a rescue boat from Lovewell Pond Landing. The boat had to travel upriver against strong currents to where the man had swum ashore. He was treated for hypothermia, but refused an offer to transport him to a local hospital.
The man told police that he had been canoeing with a group of 13 other men, who had been consuming alcohol. The man also told police that he "almost drowned", had become extremely fatigued and cold, and that he had swallowed a lot of water during his swim to shore.
"This is our first water rescue call of the season and this canoeist is extremely fortunate that he was not seriously injured," Potvin said in a statement. "We are expecting a busy season on the Saco and we are reminding those enjoying the river that consuming excessive amounts of alcohol can make for extremely unsafe conditions and poor decision making."

Abstract: Microglial cells are key players in the primary immune response of the central nervous system. They are highly active and motile cells that chemically and mechanically interact with their environment. While the impact of chemical signaling on microglia function has been studied in much detail, the current understanding of mechanical signaling is very limited. When cultured on compliant substrates, primary microglial cells adapted their spread area, morphology, and actin cytoskeleton to the stiffness of their environment. Traction force microscopy revealed that forces exerted by microglia increase with substrate stiffness until reaching a plateau at a shear modulus of ~5 kPa. When cultured on substrates incorporating stiffness gradients, microglia preferentially migrated toward stiffer regions, a process termed durotaxis. Lipopolysaccharide-induced immune-activation of microglia led to changes in traction forces, increased migration velocities and an amplification of durotaxis. We finally developed a mathematical model connecting traction forces with the durotactic behavior of migrating microglial cells. Our results demonstrate that microglia are susceptible to mechanical signals, which could be important during central nervous system development and pathologies. Stiffness gradients in tissue surrounding neural implants such as electrodes, for example, could mechanically attract microglial cells, thus facilitating foreign body reactions detrimental to electrode functioning.

My Aunt Missa flew in Thursday night to visit us for the weekend. We spent Friday in Holmes County, Ohio, or in other words, Amish Country! We took a tour through the back roads of Holmes County, where most of the Amish live. Their lifestyle is just amazing, and it's so hard to believe that anyone still lives that way. They're famous for driving horse and buggies and not having electricity in their homes, but really, it seems like they take advantage of technology in roundabout ways. They have telephones, just not in their homes. Instead, they build little booths right outside. They have freezers, just not on their land. They rent land from "English" (non-Amish) neighbors and build freezer barns so they can keep their food frozen for the winter. If they need to travel further than 15 miles, they ask someone with a car for a ride. They go on vacation and stay in hotels with electricity and television. Believe me, if I was Amish, I would do the same things, but doesn't it seem a little like cheating? Still fascinating, though.
|An Amish phone booth.
Sunday, after Aunt Missa left, Steven and I went to Cedar Point. We rode tons of rollercoasters and had a great time. The highlight of the day, though, was on the Cedar Point Mine Ride (for you North Carolinians out there, think Scooby-Doo coaster at Carowinds; for non-NCers, just know that this rollercoaster could be considered a children's attraction). There was a woman and her son sitting in front of us. She was probably in her late 30s, and the kid was 10 or 12. The whole ride we spent laughing at her because apparently she had either never been on a rollercoaster before or didn't make a habit of it. She was making Native American noises whenever the ride would go around a curve or down a small hill (like when kids are in the Thanksgiving play at school and half are pilgrims and half are Indians, and the Indian kids go around in a circle with their hand over their mouth and make the stereotypical Indian chanting noise) and kept repeating "I'm done after this." It was hilarious.
This week I have been crafting my little heart out, so look for posts on some projects in the next few days!
My mom and stepdad are coming up to visit this weekend, and we're planning on going to an Indians game and just hanging out with them. Next weekend Steven is heading home to work in Hickory for a week, so he's leaving me alone for two straight weekends! I'm not sure what I'll get into, but I'll think of something. When he gets back, it's our anniversary (3 years already, wow!), and he'll be here for two weeks and then he's leaving me again to go to some conference in Florida! He's a very busy guy. Hopefully October will be much more calm. Just thinking about October gets me all warm and fuzzy inside! Have I mentioned how much I love October?
Oh yeah, while Aunt Missa was up here, we booked our flights to go to NEW YORK CITY over Thanksgiving! Hoorayyyyyyyyyy! She's flying from NC and I'm flying from OH, so we'll meet up in NYC the Monday before Thanksgiving, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (I cannot tell you how excited I am about this), then fly back to NC together Thursday afternoon, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday shopping. Oh my gosh, I cannot WAIT! I'm already planning my wardrobe... I'm thinking my new fur-lined Crocs will be in order.
But alas, I have to go back to work tomorrow. The kids will probably be crazy, but they'll also probably take a long nap so it should be an easy day. I do miss them when they're gone so I'm excited to hear all about their vacation.

Tiger sees progress in final Doral round
Tiger Woods found reason to be encouraged Sunday at the Cadillac Championship.
Woods ended another ordinary week on a course he once dominated by matching his best score of the year with a 6-under 66 at Doral that gives him his best finish this year through five tournaments.
He also found his sense of humor.
"I'm putting the pieces together," Woods said. "Everything is kind of shaping up and heading the right direction, which is good, and peaking right at the right time … for the Tavistock Cup."
He plays Monday and Tuesday in a made-for-TV exhibition.
The real golf resumes a week later at Bay Hill, where he is a six-time winner. That will be his final event before the Masters.
Woods began the final round 11 shots out of the lead and made only one bogey on the sixth hole. He twice had back-to-back birdies on the back nine, including a shot he nearly holed on the 17th for a tap-in birdie.
He again used a mallet-shaped putter, a heel-shafted club that he often uses in practice. Woods struggled on the greens all week, but made his share of 10- and 15-footers to at least leave Doral in a good frame of mind.
Still missing is getting into contention.
"Of course it bothers me," Woods said. "I want to win golf tournaments. That's the whole idea of entering events is to win golf tournaments, and I didn't do that this week. But I showed positive signs for the next time I play, which is a good thing."
Woods has had trouble closing this year. He shot 75 in the final round at Torrey Pines, and the one time he was in contention at Dubai, he shot 75 the last round on a windy day to fall into a tie for 20th.
The 66 was his best final round since a 65 at the Australian Masters.
The scrutiny remains, however, and more attention is shifting to his new swing coach, Sean Foley, with whom Woods began working at the PGA Championship last August.
Woods had said late last year that he was picking up the new swing more quickly than his other swing changes. He finished the year with a playoff loss at the Chevron World Challenge. And while he blew a four-shot lead on the last day, he looked like the Woods of old. The mystery is what happened to that game during his two-month break.
He said he was "definitely not going the wrong way," and understood the criticism Foley is starting to face. Hank Haney went through the same criticism, even as Woods was winning some 40 percent of his tournaments and six majors.
"He's never dealt with this before," Woods said of Foley. "For some reason, I tend to get a little bit more scrutinized than most players do, analyzed to the 'nth' degree about what goes on within one round of golf. That's something that's new to him. But he said one positive thing is I'm always on TV, which is good, so he gets to look at a lot of golf swings."

Once you have created an account on NinesControl, you need to configure NinesControl to access the cloud in which your databases will run. You need to define access credentials for your cloud account. In this blog post we'll show you how to configure access to DigitalOcean, AWS and Google Compute Engine.
To configure NinesControl to access DigitalOcean, you first need to be logged into your DigitalOcean account. Next, go to the API section.
Once there, click on "Generate New Token" to create a new token for NinesControl. You will be asked to pick a name for the token and scopes - make sure both read and write are included. When you are ready, click "Generate Token".
New token will be created - it takes a form of alphanumeric string which you can copy to your clipboard.
Next, go to your NinesControl account, go to Cloud Accounts -> DigitalOcean and add your token. Save credentials afterwards.
That's it, now you can deploy MySQL and MongoDB clusters on DigitalOcean.
Amazon Web Services
To configure NinesControl to access AWS, you first need to create an IAM user. NinesControl will use IAM to deploy your databases on AWS. When you are logged into your AWS account, you can find the IAM section under "Services".
Next, you need to click on "Users" to create a new user. Fill the name and create it.
After you create it, you can download your credentials for further use. You can also copy the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. You'll need them later in NinesControl.
After we create the user, we need to grant correct privileges.The user should appear in the list. If needed, you can always use filter box as shown below to find it.
Once you found the user, click on it. Go to the "Permissions" tab and click on "Attach Policy" button. (Note: This is not the only way to grant privileges - you can also create a group with the required permissions and then assign user to such group. We won't cover this method in this blog)
A policy that we need to attach is called "AmazonEC2FullAccess". You can find it on the list or use the filter field to show just that policy.
Once this is done, your user is ready to be used in NinesControl. Log in to NinesControl, go to Cloud Accounts and pick Amazon AWS as provider. You will have to fill in some data like name of the credentials as showed in NinesControl, region in which the cluster should be deployed and, finally, credentials themselves - Access Key and Secret Key for your IAM.
When you accomplish this, you should be able to deploy your databases on Amazon Web Services. Deployment will be covered in a separate blog post, for now we'd like to add that, at the first deployment, you will have to create new VPC and subnet by clicking on "[Add]" next to Vpc and Subnet fields.
That's it. You have now configured NinesControl to access AWS and will be able to deploy MySQL and MongoDB clusters on AWS.
Google Compute Engine
To generate credentials for Google Compute Engine, you need to follow a couple of simple steps. If you are a project owner, all you need to do is go to the Products & Services menu.
Then, you need to select API Manager from the list.
Go to the "Credentials" section and use the "Create credentials" option. Make sure you use "Service account key".
When asked, pick JSON as format.
After you click "Create", you will download a JSON file with credentials.
Now it's time to add the credentials to your NinesControl account. Log into NinesControl and go to the "Cloud accounts" section.
Pick Google Compute Engine and click in "Add Credentials". You will be presented with the following screen:

To be honest, I didn't want to make my first routine. There are so many behaviors I enjoy working on, and some are still mid-process, so I was busy enough already. I asked, "Do I have to?", and was given a non-negotiable "Yes!". Kathy made it as painless as possible by drafting a routine, written on a chart with the words and music broken into sequences (along with the edited music). Class involved working through some of the segments. Her brilliant plan ended up with all of us rewriting everything and making it our own. Not everybody made it through to completion, but that's to typical. Many a training endeavor is not seen through to the end.
The students from my Tricks 1 Class just got the assignment to create a tiny routine for our last week. This is my 1st time experimenting with such a task for an introduction level class. The process of completing a routine has been called by some THE MOST DIFFICULT dog training endeavor there is…and I agree. So, getting into the details about this training will be well beyond the scope of this class. But, still, I have a suspicion that it is a smart challenge to throw at them. It should prove very educational.
If you'd like to play along at home, pick behaviors your dog knows well. You don't want to lump your criteria when you have more splitting to do! For most of you, one of the behaviors probably ought to be Sit. Judging by what I see in average pet dog owners, "Sit" might be one of the only things your dog knows how to do fluently ("Down" often is a bit of a disaster, and I think "Stand" is plain scary to most).
If you let your dog practice the sequence, you will have an easier time with the chain. However, letting your dog pattern and predict rather than having behavior on stimulus control can threaten success if you want to use those tricks in other chains of behavior, particularly if those sequences will regularly be rearranged. So, for someone who wants to put together freestyle routines, training strong stimulus control and proofing that the dog is listening and not guessing or predicting takes a lot of training attention. If you just want to casually have a sequence of parlor tricks, you can lean on the dog anticipating the pattern to make them stronger (and might subsequently be able to train in extra difficulties like doing it at a distance or more independently of your direction).
Having a little mini-routine has benefits beyond its entertainment value. It is a great way to allow your dog to be included socially without having to be handled (which some dogs don't care for). It can help disarm those who fear dogs. A familiar routine can help a dog feel more sure when the setting makes them feel less confident. And the praise goes to both ends of the leash. Make a video and show off your talents…goodness knows I don't do that half as much as I should. Speaking of, there are plans to…now if I can just find some extra time 😉

OAKLAND PARK -- Cheryl Freniere stood puzzled in her driveway for a moment and stared at the small, odd-shaped vehicle parked across the street.
She didn't know quite what to make of the white car, which is smaller than a compact but bigger than a golf cart.
"It's a very interesting-looking vehicle," she said.
When told it was an electric car owned by the city, Freniere seemed impressed.
"It's a step in the right direction," she said.
In an effort to save taxpayers' money and help the environment, the City Council recently spent $10,000 on two electric cars.
If they prove to be economical and reliable, City Manager David Ritz said Oakland Park will buy more.
Compared with vehicles with internal-combustion engines, electrics cars have few moving parts: no spark plugs, carburetor, belts, ignition system or muffler.
And no exhaust pipe.
"These electric cars are pollution-free," Ritz said.
The Fiberglas vehicle is powered by 13 lead-acid batteries, one under the driver's seat and six each in the front and rear. It can go 55 mph and can travel 100 miles between overnight charges. Ritz said the city expects to spend about $43 per car per month on electricity to charge the batteries.
"It is certified to run on the road and the highway," Ritz said. "It's a rough ride. It's not a luxury car by any means, but it has everything we need."
He said one car will be used by water meter readers while the other one will be shared by several city departments.
The steering wheel is on the car's right side.
"It feels kind of funny," water meter reader Faustino Perreras said. "It's my first time driving on the right side."
Committed to developing programs that benefit the environment, Oakland Park purchased the non-polluting cars from Pro Electric, a Miramar firm.

Making money with hubpages and google adsense
How much money can you make on hubpages with google AdSense? How much money does one hub make with google AdSense? Can you make a decent amount of money writing with hubpages or would you be better off concentrating on something else?
Since joining hubpages last year the questions above have dominated my thinking. I'm not trying to kid anyone, I do derive plenty of pleasure from the process of writing, but in reality im here for the money. Yes publishing my thoughts on something and seeing them read gives me a buzz, but the real pleasure comes from seeing my articles paying the bills. If this strikes a chord with you then its worth you reading on to find out what Ive discovered about making money from hubpages using google AdSense.
New to hubpages?
If you arent familiar with hubpages, then I thoroughly reccomend that you sign up and give it a go. Just by publishing a few articles on a rainy weekend you may build a residual income that coves one of your household bills.
Quality really matters if you want to make money online
Where do you get your hub inspiration from? If you are here to make money, then you'll feel the pressure to become a hub machine. When you are under pressure to write it is easy to get writers block , the quality of your hubs diminish and your growth in AdSense earnings dries up just as you were starting to get somewhere.
It can be all too tempting with the time you spend on hubpages to decide to rewrite or indeed just blatantly copy someone else's work.Yet whats the point? Even if they have an incredibly well earning hub you will never get anywhere near half their income from it. Unless you are such a good writer you can write it better. But if you were that good, you probably wouldn't be resorting to copying in the first place would you?
When I started writing hubpages I realised I could probably write 3-5 a day. Ive got an academic background and a good typing speed so churning out a few thousand words a day is pretty easy. However the downside is that leaves no time for research and the quality is atrocious. Looking at my hubs so far, the general rule is definitely that those I felt were poor hubs when I wrote them, are performing badly. My worst hub is one that I tried to rush before going out one evening. I don't think it has ever had a view from google.
My best hub however was recently a hot hub and bought in plenty of traffic and I fully expect it to do well on google once it matures.
To keep it simple, I attribute that success down to my change in strategy. I now aim for 5 hubs a week and make sure each one has been well thought out and researched. That successful hub and the subsequent series of hubs were all based around our decision to buy a puppy;
Caring for your Border Collie puppy
As this was a topic close to our hearts, the research was a dream to do and I think this passion was reflected in the hub. Most importantly, it was a joy to write AND will bring in money long term. Best of all, this personal involvement sparked a whole series of related topics that have slowly been woven together. Still work to be done, but without doubt, they will be a lot more successful than twice as many rushed hubs.
To summarise; think about your life, the events and milestones you have coming up and will enjoy researching and subsequently writing about! New family members, milestone birthdays, holiday's etc can all yield interesting topics that can also involve decent paying keywords.
Top Tip
Make the most of your time!
Stop looking at those graphs of earnings and views every five minutes! Neither are going to change until you do something about it. Every minute wasted staring at hubviews and dreaming of financial reward could be a minute spent actually contributing to their achievement!
Have your say!
Which do you think is key to making money on hubpages with google adsense?
Quantity really matters if you want to make money with adsense!
I just finished reading a forum thread about someone finding a CPC worth $1400! Like me your first instinct might be to forget writing lots of hubs, just write one good and hope for that magical one click a month. Easy right?
Certainly tempting, but there is not a chance on earth of you hitting that. Sorry but its true. Yes I don't doubt that there are people out there that do significantly better than most with just a handful of hubs. At time of writing I have 87 hubs written over 3 months and know that I already earn more than some people with more than double that have been here for a lot longer. On the flip side Ive read about people with far less that are earning much much more than me. Unless you are an SEO genius you are going to have to embrace the concept of quantity at some stage.
I think im fairly realistic in thinking that at best my hubs may each average $1-$2 a month. Some will certainly earn more, but as like you, I'm not an SEO expert, many will earn a lot less. So do the math yourself. You'll need to write plenty just to ensure you have enough for a beer, let alone pay the bills!
Writing such quantity can be very daunting. When I started out, just reaching ten hubs seemed impossible. With a little commitment, that target became 25, then 50 and now 100. Put the effort in, and you'll get there.
Don't forget that yes quality and quantity are important but if you focus solely on one or the other, you may not reach your financial goals. Find a line between the two that best reflect your skills and style.
Keep patience with hubpages and google adsense!
The hardest part of making money from hubpages is the waiting. Of course this isnt helped by those constant peeks at the google AdSense page! Very rarely are you going to publish a hub that hits front page of google straight off. Nope, more realistically you are going to have to work on a little marketing of your hub and mostly have patience. Google likes aged, established web pages so after an initial blast of views you may have to wait some time to see things happen.
How long does this maturing process take? No one seems to know. Yet there definitely seems to be a point where you can expect your views to grow at a greater rate than you publish hubs. Looking at the success stories on hubpages and other established hubbers shared hub view graphs there is often a clear point where this 'exponential' growth occurred.
87 hubs and three months in, I'm still suffering a very linear growth. I publish a hub and my total views go up proportionately. At this rate id need literally thousands of hubs to change my life writing online. Don't worry it will happen. There are plenty of lesser writers than you that make a decent residual income from hubpages, that just happen to have been around for a fair bit longer.
Why should you be so confident? Why, because you mix quantity, quality and patience in equal measures!!!
this is a great share.
Nicely done, and so true (even though I hate to admit it, haha!)
Excellent hub. I have been here for a little over 4 weeks and completely understand what you are saying about the quantity and quality. The longer I'm here the more I earn and I have figured it out in only a month but it is great to find other hubbers agreeing with my technique. Thanks a ton!
This is great info. Any chance you can write a short hub on how to access a Google Adsense account that was not fully completed and doesn't have the phone number or postal-code set up to get into it? I cant access or activate my partially created account. Thank you.
Yep, I agree whole heartedly! It is a combination of things that make you successful here on HubPages. Way to go! I can see you climbing the ladder now! (Please be careful not to step on me as you pass by!!) LOL

Producers expect that Chile's fruit sector will be good thanks to the winter rains and temperatures in recent months, especially for the species that didn't fare so well in past seasons, such as table grapes, and blueberries.
Juan Carlos Sepulveda, the General Manager of Fedefruta, said the quality of the production should be much better than in previous campaigns because of the weather. "Export prices and volumes will also benefit from the weather conditions that we had during winter and spring."
Cherries, the star of the season
Cherries will be the Chilean star fruit in foreign markets in the 2017/2018 season, as cherry production is expected to increase by up to 50%, reaching more than 30 million boxes, a record harvest compared to the 18 million boxes that were registered the previous campaign.
According to Sepulveda, "there are new plantations that should start producing this season, so the projection is for all of them to develop their full potential, which will help the sector recover from the past seasons."
The most important market will continue to be China, which takes almost 90% of the production of Chilean cherries, followed by the US and European markets.
Stone fruits are expected to have a normal season
Cristian Allendes, the Director and former president of Fedefruta, said the stone season would be normal in both prices and volume. According to forecasts, there will be a smaller volume of peaches and nectarines will continue increase, as they have done in recent seasons, consolidating themselves as one Chile's important species.
"The thinnings have been good for nectarines and, since this year the fruit will be available at a normal date, or even a little bit late compared to a couple of years ago, producers would have normal sizes for the varieties. This is the complete opposite of what happened in the previous season, when the harvests started early," Allendes said.
"We expect prices to behave normally this season in traditional markets, such as the United States, Asia and Europe, with a strong emphasis on China," he added.
Caution in table grapes
Maria Ines Figari, the Director Secretary of Fedefruta, said that they expected it would be a positive season, even though they had just enough production and there would be a one week delay in the production. "We have exactly the number of bunches needed."
However, she is not that optimistic when asked about the prices they expect for the current campaign. "We have a lot of uncertainty regarding price, we have looked for new markets, but nothing is clear," she said.
Faced with this uncertainty, Figari said expectations for the table grape industry shouldn't be too high. "We'll have to wait and see. Either way, we should focus on working the fruit. To be competitive abroad it must have a very good quality and condition," she said.
The bad experiences of table grape producers with the US market during the 2016/2017 season has led them to seek and discover new markets. As a result, Figari said, the sector has found new opportunities, especially in Asia. "Countries like China, Korea, Malaysia, and Dubai are opening spaces for Chilean fruit. In general, producers are starting to send more production to the Asian continent and to Europe than to the United States. The lesson we learned from such a terrible season is that we have to diversify the markets," she added.

I finally made it to the Gugelhopf Cafe and was not disappointed. My wife had a salad, I had the wiener schnitzel, and we shared a basket of bread. Everything was simple and impeccable -- perfect bistro fare. For dessert we had the sacher torte and the apple strudel, which resulted in the single happiest five-minutes of eating I've done in the state of North Carolina.
The meal struck me as the more impressive in comparison to the meal I had last weekend at the Berghoff, Chicago's oldest and most famous German eatery. There too I had the wiener shnitzel and the apple strudel, but, regrettably, the old stereotype about German food being "heavy" proved all too accurate.
In my opinion, the likes of Fearrington House and Magnolia Grill, with their squirt bottles and their vertical presentations and their big white plates and their strained attempts at fusion, have nothing on seemingly modest restaurants like Gugelhopf and Udupi, where great traditions are faithfully and intelligently upheld.

GOOOOOooooOOOOD Morning family and friends! Oh wait my bad, it is good afternoon, because it is afternoon. I would be publically shamed if I had said that to a Hispanic here :P
I am doing really great today! Elder Eldredge and I are just moving along, working hard here :) It is a good time! We have recently started counting of U-Turns Elder Poulson makes on the daily. And by counting, I mean lost count :P Haha let's just say that my navigational skills are slowly but surely improving! ^-^
One of the exciting things around here right now is that we have been watching all of the training videos in anticipation of receiving smartphones! I know it probably sounds like I am just a technology-thirsty teenage missionary who is excited to get a real phone back in his hand, but I am actually more excited about the implications for the work! It seems that we are going to be able to do online proselyting using Facebook, teach lessons through facetime, and have all of the information we need on our phones! It is going to be especially useful to be able to teach those who really don't have time to have lessons twice a week at their house. But everyone has a 20 minute lunch break, right? ;) I am super excited! They will be initiated October 2nd.
As for investigators... Well Mayfer and Jackie both did NOT come to church this week... Sadly. But we are going to keep working with them! The familia Romero and Jose are doing good, so it is all good :) Jose is a seventy year old one eyed man that loves to talk and has great questions! ^-^
One thing I have really been learning this week is the necessity of focusing on those things outside of ourselves. The hardest times in my life have been when I have been focused on my own needs and desires. Similarly, the best times in my life have been when I have been focused on the needs and desires of others. That is what makes times of trial so hard: it often forces us to focus on ourselves. But in this, Jesus Christ showed the perfect example. There is not a single instance in the Bible in which he did anything for himself. He only ever looked to help those who he loved: that is, everyone. And so should we. "I would that you should be perfect, even as my father is perfect" comes right after talking about loving even your enemies. And love is a verb. To love is to serve.
Thus, I am striving not only to serve a mission, but to love my mission :)
I hope you all are doing well! Seek to serve, and you'll do even better! Love you all! Peace :)

A new cutting-edge X-ray suite has opened at the University of Derby to provide the next generation of radiographers the most advanced skills to help combat the nation-wide shortage.
The University has installed a Fujifilm Advanced Visionary X-ray Suite – the first of its kind to be installed in a university in the UK.
The new Suite, which has cost around £250,000, is equipped with the latest technological developments in both X-ray image acquisition and X-ray image processing and replaces the University's current system.
As part of the upgrade of the University's teaching and learning materials for current and future students, two state-of-the-art phantoms have also been purchased. These models can be used to simulate pathological lesions, such as tumours in the chest.
The new kit is designed to improve the preciseness of X-ray imaging while reducing the operational dose rate, which is better for patients.
And in the future, it is hoped the system will be configured to be compatible with the University's partner NHS institutions, which would give the University potential to provide a clinical service to patients through the 'choose and book' referral system.
Chris Alvey, Senior Lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Derby, was invited to see the advanced kit in Dusseldorf and decided it would be an outstanding piece of equipment to have installed at Derby.
He said: "The equipment represents a significant investment for the University. We were looking to improve our existing equipment and essentially future-proof our training facilities for students.
"The equipment can produce high-quality diagnostic images but it also has increased functionality to provide a number of image acquisition types including dual energy subtraction imagery, digital tomosynthesis (this is similar to advanced techniques used in breast imaging, however, we are able to apply this technique to all anatomical areas) and 'virtual grid' software.
"This combination means we are able to offer significant training opportunities, continued professional development events for qualified staff and students, as well as providing a platform for future clinical and academic research collaborations."
The University also launched a new expanded Ultrasound Simulation Suite which features an additional three new units to help increase capacity for simulation. The new equipment, which cost a further £250,000, was funded by Health Education East Midlands to support sonography trainees in the region.
The new facilities were officially opened today (Monday, September 26) at a special ceremony at the University's Clinical Skills Suite.
The opening ceremony was conducted by Professor Kathryn Mitchell, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Derby; Professor Philip Plowden, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Derby; Paula Crick, Dean of the College of Health and Social Care at Derby and Steve Herring, President of the Society and College of Radiographers. Representatives from Fujifilm and MedaPhor, who supplied the Ultrasound simulation equipment, also attended.
The event included tours of the new suites as well as demonstrations of the new equipment.
Dr Paula Crick said: "Providing the most realistic and up to date clinical learning environment for our students is extremely important to us and Derby boasts some of the best facilities you will find in any university.
"Our Clinical Skills Suite really does bring theory and practice together, and these two new facilities, on top of our recently-launched Immersive Suite, show that we are focused on making sure our trainee radiographers and sonographers have the latest technology with which to refine their skills, so when they enter clinical practice they are well equipped enhance their practice with patients."

The Corsa VXR is one of the most popular small hot hatches available, but how good is it with Stage 1 tuning on it? Here's my review…
- 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four
- Around 230 bhp and a 0-62 mph time of 6.3 seconds
- Six-speed manual gearbox
- Front-wheel drive
Performance and gearbox
Naturally the Corsa VXR is every bit a pocket rocket, with a standard model pushing out 189 bhp from its 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four and a 0-62 mph time of only 6.8 seconds. However this isn't a standard Corsa VXR; it's a Stage 1 Corsa VXR, meaning it's got a new Scorpion exhaust system, air filter, a remap done by Rabbid Tuning, and more.
All these little improvements push the car up to 230 bhp and bring the 0-62 mph time down to around half a second. It also sounds pretty insane for a little 1.6 engine, with pops and bangs that always bring a smile to your face. The added blowoff valve also gives a nice whoosh.
Criticisms? Well the six-speed manual gearbox isn't the best. The gear ratios are a little too short which means you change gear a bit too often. The throttle response is also lacking as a result of the turbo lag, which is a pain when you want some more power on the exit of a bend. However, all in all it's a really fiery, excitable car.
Star rating: ★★★★☆
Handling and drive
In general, the Corsa VXR handles surprisingly well. As it's very lightweight (only 1,100 kg), it really performs on the road and doesn't suffer a great deal from the torque steer you usually associate with front-wheel drive cars.
The trade up with this though is that it feels a bit disconnected at the times, especially on rough surfaces where you're perhaps looking for a bit more steering wheel feel to gauge your traction. Still, it's a really exciting car to drive, especially with the extra power from its Stage 1 upgrades!
Star rating: ★★★★☆
VXR models have always been a bit lairy, and that usually divides opinion among petrolheads. Some absolutely love the look of them, others hate it – I'm the former.
I think this VXR ticks all the right boxes. It's got chunky, AMG-like bumpers, an aggressive rear diffuser, a sizeable roof spoiler and sporty alloys too (although this model in particular has rubbish bog-standard Astra alloys). Even the wing mirrors look like they're straight off a facelifted Gallardo.
Overall the car looks mean, and I love it.
Star rating: ★★★★☆
Interior and spec
Let's be honest, Vauxhall aren't known for producing cars with amazing interiors or high-level spec, and the Corsa VXR is no different. It only really comes with your basics, but outside of that, there's not a lot going on. The only exception is the seats; they literally look like Audi RS 4 seats – and feel like them too.
At the end of the day this car was built for fun, and just like rally cars, interior doesn't have any baring on fun factor. As long as the seats and steering wheel are good enough and your basics are usable, then who cares?
Star rating: ★★★☆☆
The Corsa VXR is a great car anyway, but a couple of basic upgrades and it's without a doubt even better. It's fast, agile, and absolutely stacked with character. Whilst this particular car was only a Stage 1, it does highlight just how tuneable VXR models are.
I personally love this car, it's so much better than a normal Corsa in every single way. But that's the problem really: it can't shake off the fact it's still a Corsa. Regardless, some cars just make you smile – and this is one of them cars.
Star rating: ★★★★☆

But how do you get it? Finding the support you need can be challenging, especially when you're likely facing time and money constraints. Here are 7 ways that you can find and create the support you need until you can stand on your own again.


text: My girlfriend made a funny comment to me recently and it's got me thinking. She said 'now you will have to buy clothes that match with your b-bag!'. At the time we laughed...but then when I finally got my first bag, a Blue India Day...I thought HMMM. Now I find myself trying to figure out what colors would best compliment the bag. Whites, creams, blacks, browns? Matching blues too hard...maybe a super pale ice blue would be nice with it. I've bought two white/cream sweaters in the last week thinking 'perfection with the bag!'. Do you gals do this? Tailor your wardrobe to match your bag? See things out in the stores that you think would be PERFECT for your XYZ bag? I love looking through the B-bag picture thread, because it gives me ideas and inspiration on how to wear my bag. Anyhow, just thought I'd throw this out there and see what you gals said about buying clothes and/or wearing colors to match your bag or make it's color pop more or similar. I was a little worried with Blue India because as much as I ADORE the color, I thought matching it to clothes might be difficult. So any BI lovers or owners with some tips?! Colors or outfits you wore that looked fabulous? I typically am a jeans gal so I don't have too many other colors for pants!!

She's been through a lot in the past few weeks - fainting on live television, her father's death and her son's entry into rehab - yet she's endlessly chipper.
But, frankly, we're pretty much over Marie Osmond and her inexplicably long run on Dancing With the Stars. Hardly any of the prognosticators on this sort of thing thought she'd make it to the finals because of her weak technique and simple choreography.
Sure, her fainting episode was memorable; too bad such a highly replayed moment had nothing to do with her skills on the dance floor.

A new video game adaptation of the hit BBC TV show Merlin will soon be available for Facebook users to play with their friends.
Created by Bossa Studios, whose previous titles include the BAFTA-winning Monstermind, the upcoming RPG will focus on capturing the epic story of the TV series and merging it with real-time, multiplayer gameplay.
[Editor's note: Bossa Studios is owned by British media company Shine Group, who itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corp, who also owns IGN Entertainment.]
Bossa Studios' creator in chief Imre Jele said, "We have carefully crafted the game to capture the very essence of the world's most famous sorcerer. Players can explore magical lands while adventuring alongside trusty allies in the Crystal Cave, knocking out ferocious Wilddeoren rats or uniting with one of their favourite characters like Merlin or Arthur."
Merlin The Game will take place in the same universe as the TV show (even featuring the same original music), and players will be able to quest as their own knight or magician until they're strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Merlin and Arthur. The game will allow players a large degree of flexibility when creating characters, so if you're not entirely sold on the rigid melee playstyle of the knight you can mix and match it with spells from the magician.
Bossa Studios has been working with the creators of the show to make sure that everything is authentic, as Imre explained, "We wanted to make a game driven by story in a fantasy setting, and centring it around Merlin made sense; it's an amazing brand worldwide because everyone knows it.
"We've been given all of the set designs and the costumes, and a wealth of resources to play with. We've got complete freedom... as long as we don't kill their lead characters!"
Despite the fact that it's a Facebook game, everyone on the team is adamant that this doesn't mean it's only for casual gamers. Imre stresses, "I'm a hardcore player at home on my Xbox, but when I'm out and about I'm casual. We've focused on ensuring that hardcore players will find a lot of stuff to do here when not in front of their consoles, especially with the awesome story."
The game is expected to enter a closed beta this summer at Comic-Con International, which takes place on July 12-15, where the cast of the series will also be present to try out the game. Gamers and fans who want to step into Camelot to help test the game can do so by registering at the official site now.
Merlin The Game will launch later in the autumn to coincide with the start of the fifth series of Merlin on BBC One.

Someone Interested In Buying My House!
I've been so stressed about selling this house and moving down to be with Captain Awesome and the people that saw it over the weekend are coming back because they loved it! I'm so happy! I really hope I'm not jinxing it but honestly, even if they don't put an offer down it's a step forward. The realtor emailed us this morning and I have had a smile on my face all day.
Work was meh but I had a great Pilates class and now I'm all settled in and smiling.
On a totally unrelated note I am LOVING the SmartOnes meals. I was eating Lean Gourmets since they were cheaper but they were kind of gross. The SmartOnes are only about 50 cents more expensive but are way way tastier.

AFSC News
August 8, 2016
By Katie Doptis
Alaska Fisheries Science Center biologist Jay Orr confirmed that a fish collected during a routine fisheries survey is a species that has only been encountered once in more than a decade. Little is known about this creature, identified as a gray snailfish. The fish is so uncommon it has only been collected a dozen times since it was first discovered 30 years ago.
The gray snailfish was found during the Centers annual survey of the remote waters around Alaskas Aleutian Islands. Scientists are gathering information to assess the health of commercially important fish and crab species.
Snailfish are small and almost gelatinous; they resemble a tadpole and have no scales. Interestingly, snailfish can be found in shallow tide pools and the deepest oceans around the world, deeper than any other known vertebrate. The fishs deep ocean habitats in rough waters around the Aleutians make it difficult to study. Snailfish are also fragile and can be easily damaged which made identification challenging in the past.
But when Orr and his group started using a special net attached to a standard trawl net during surveys, they began to collect snailfish in perfect condition. That set off a wave of new discoveries. Orr is a leading expert on Alaska snailfish. In the past decade, hes discovered and contributed to the discovery of 12 new snailfish.
The snailfish other Center biologists found in recent weeks is so unusual the field crew first believed they had a new species. They photographed the specimen, which came from the western Aleutians, and preserved it for further analysis back at Center labs in Seattle.
Orr identified the gray snailfish, or Careproctus canus, by examining the photos. Its a very rare species, Orr said. Snailfish are really diverse; there are a lot of different species.
Every Careproctus canus has only been found around the Aleutian Islands. They live in waters between 420 to 1423 feet deep and can grow up to almost eight inches long. In general, snailfish are opportunistic predators, feeding on small crustaceans and other invertebrates small enough to fit in their mouths, Orr said.
Snailfish from the deep are a reminder of how much we dont know about our oceansthat theyre holding secrets just waiting to be discovered.

IIM Conference in Assisi, Italy
This October, Genea Biocells attended the 14th annual Inter-university Institute of Myology (IIM) congress held in historic Assisi, Italy. The meeting was a gathering of predominantly Italian researchers studying the pathogenesis and therapeutic approaches to various neuromuscular diseases. During the span of the conference, excellent presentations covering muscle development, signaling and homeostasis in both healthy and disease conditions were given. Genea's president, Dr. Uli Schmidt, gave a lecture entitled "An in vitro model of FSHD based on human stem cell-derived skeletal myotubes and its application in drug discovery" and Dr. Jamshid Arjomand, presented a collaborative poster entitled "2D and 3D disease modeling of Becker and Duchenne's muscular dystrophies". The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to interact with the Italian academic community, learn about their latest research related to myology and indulge in the breathtaking views of the countryside and the wonderful meals being served.

The pilots head to the briefing room to learn what their next mission is. LTG Zhang informs them that the fight to take New Guinea has been going well, but now two major enemy bases stand in their way. Alpha Squad is being dispatched to take the one on the northern coast while Beta Squad is sent to take the southern one. However, Magnus is sent with Ted to take gather intelligence from a smaller base. Both Alpha and Beta will have ground troops fighting with them to take and hold the bases. Once the briefing was finished everyone went about their day until the next day where they got more specifics, suited up and flew out.
Once they arrived on land Beta Squad join five squads of suits, two diamonds and three clubs. After a short trek through a forest the base was in sight and everyone rushed in. Immediately the Arcana made short work of the mass produced Japanese infantry and took control of part of the base. As they entered they could hear the amplified voice of Jing Tai, the Dragon, telling them to surrender or else. Grant and Isaac advanced towards the Dragon while Alex moved the other way with most of the infantry, until the Rabbit slammed into him. While the fight against the Dragon started going well after he was being locked down by the Tower, Alex was taking a beating from the Rabbit nearly breaking his Arcana. In the same moment Alex and Grant gave it their all to finish the fight as soon as possible and nearly took out the Rabbit and Dragon forcing them to flee. Once the Zodiacs were gone the base was easily taken with only two casualties.
With the base taken reinforcements came in to secure and start to patch up the base. The Arcana were also given quick repairs so they didn't fall apart before they could return to the Eliphas Barracks to be fully repaired. The day saved everyone flies back to base, some a little more damaged than others, but all intact. Arriving back they all leave the Arcana to be repaired and go out to get ice cream to celebrate another successful mission under their belt.

The first half of season 6 of Supernatural featured a new character—sort of. Fans were introduced to "Soulless Sam," or "RoboSam" as Dean called him. His body may have been pulled out of the cage by Crowley, but apparently there was only so much the King of Hell could do. And now that Death has put Sam's soul back where it belongs (with a safety measure), there's only one thing that viewers are hoping: please, Sam, do not scratch at that wall.
Sam's Memory
A clip (below) from the upcoming episode, "Like a Virgin," of Supernatural shows Sam and Dean sitting at a table with beer at Bobby's house. Dean wants to know the last thing Sam remembers, then a flash of images about their next case is shown. The promo ends with Dean saying, "Okay, I'm not changing the channel." Could this mean Sam doesn't remember anything after jumping into the cage, and Dean's not going to tell him what he's missing?
Will Sam also feel the consequences of not sleeping for over a year? If he doesn't remember what happened since he's been back, will that mean he won't remember letting Dean be turned into a vampire or trying to kill Bobby? If or when he does, will he then start feeling guilty? Those could make for some awkward conversations (or the return to the heart-to-hearts in or against the Impala) between the Winchester brothers.

Before, unhappy, things just were not working for me, and I was wasting the full length window
sewing table
not baby proofed anymore, but much more functional for me!
Looking good! Wish I had that much space. Start creating!!
congrats on the new arrangement! Looks great, have fun.
i like the new arrangement! i agree....it's a must to have your space where it's functional for you. baby will be fine and they learn quickly what they can and can't touch. :) on second thoughts, my 10 year old son still hasn't learned what he can and can't touch in my art room. lol
I bet you feel better with the change. I need to have a re-shuffle. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm looking forward to my space in the new place so just making do with the tip for now.
So much space! That's so great - you must be feeling like whipping up a storm of work?! K
Can't wait to see what you create from your lovely 'new' space. x
I love the full length window - of course that had to be opened up! I like to draw in front of a window, even if it is just looking out on the street and my neighbors across the way.
Oh, a bit of light streaming in will help. Lots of changes to get the creative juices flowing - I like it.
Oh yes, you need to take advantage of that great window. I can see your creative spirit soaring. Baby Messyfish will have a nice little play area there in the middle.
If I had that big window I would be thinking about what all I would plant outside that window to entertain myself. Or my mind would soar out the window to other places...just like when I was in school, I wouldn't get as much done. tee hee
The room looks great!
Sometimes moving things around sparks all sorts of new creativity. Good luck!
Space galore!!! Great area!!!
Super creative space. You look very organised.
