This is the third time I have presented at this bi-annual Conference. It contains some useful tables which, when you compare with previous papers, allows you to get a sense of how quickly new discoveries get reported and how they grow in size over time.
The key messages in the latest paper /presentation is that:
Given the above the industry is currently struggling to sustain itself. As a consequence the gold price has to rise (to stimulate more exploration and make more projects economic) or we have to either to be smarter/more efficient at exploration

Weddings/Events, Life Portraits, Engagement Sessions, Upcoming Workshops and Solo Shows
More about Weddings
My approach to photographing weddings is to capture the spirit of your day through the spontaneous moments and tell the story of your wedding photojournalistically. I pay particular attention to the subtle gestures, humorous moments and quiet interactions that make your wedding unique.
As you'll see in my portfolio, I'm particularly passionate about capturing "moments" and try to be as unintrusive as possible. For the family and wedding party portrait sessions, I do make some suggestions and aim to make these photos as fun and enjoyable as possible. I love capturing the connection between people and these group portrait sessions can be as creative and spontaneous as you'd like them to be.
I shoot high resolution raw files and each final image is carefully edited and toned. You will receive high resolution color and bw files of each final image on a thumb drive as well as unlimited online viewing. Quality prints and beautiful collage-style coffee table albums are also available.
Please specify geographic location, date, approximate number of hours and any other relevant details to get appropriate pricing info.
More about Engagement Sessions
I strongly believe that engagement portraits should reflect a couple's relationship. My favorite portraits are those that capture the love and connection between the couple and so, I encourage couples to come prepared to have fun. The more affectionate, playful and spontaneous you are with one another, the better the photos will be. If there's a favorite activity or location that is particularly meaningful to you, all the better. If not, I can always make suggestions. I have a favorite local Cape Cod beach that offers some exquisite backdrops but I'm open to almost any geographical location within reason on the Cape or elsewhere. Sessions are scheduled for the hour before sunset so that we have beautiful light to work. Before the session, we can discuss clothing suggestions and other details.
You will receive approximately 75 final high resolution color and bw files of each final image on a thumb drive as well as unlimited online viewing. Quality prints are also available.

More about Life Portraits
My "Life Portrait" sessions are not your typical portrait sessions. I've found that traditional portrait sessions often end up producing stiff or uninteresting images, not to mention melt-downs and general mayhem.
Over the years, I've discovered that the best way to capture children and families is with a completely different approach. Rather than centering the session around being photographed, a "life portrait" session is centered around life itself--a fun outing, trip to the beach on Cape Cod or just hanging out at home. This means lots of family interaction, naturally joyful moments and a realness that most portrait sessions lack. If tears happen, that's okay too because after all, life is made up of the full range of human emotions. There will be moments in which we do some more traditional family portraits but the emphasis will be on the natural moments that unfold.
A "life portrait" session can be a short one-hour session or extended to an afternoon, day or even a weekend if you're headed to a family reunion, vacation rental or elsewhere and want to capture your family's time together.
You will receive high resolution color and bw files of each final image on a thumb drive as well as unlimited online viewing. Quality prints and beautiful collage-style coffee table albums or art books are also available.

Rob Murch plays the five string banjo; an instrument associated most frequently with American bluegrass music. Yet Rob's repertoire is as English as it comes, and includes traditional country dance tunes as well as classic banjo pieces; all played with his own style and panache. As one reviewer commented, 'A banjo is a happy instrument in Rob's hands!'

The Best Way to Get a Perfect Smile
Most patients will tell that their worst experience is when they had unpleasant teeth. There are many benefits of teeth than just enhancing you to eat or chew. Another crucial role or teeth is that they bring out a good smile. Misalignment and staining of one's teeth affect the way they smile and their boldness. They will always never break their smile because they are afraid that someone could be watching their imperfect smiles. The best pictures are the ones that are captured with a person's mouth wide open. All the tips provided below should help you maintain a good looking appearance whenever you smile.
Every other dental problems elucidation must come later after knowing that you have a reliable professional doctor. First and foremost, you have an obligation of researching for doctors who are there near your local place. If you find one, you need to organize for schedules when you will be meeting to have frequent checkups. You do not expect to get any solid solutions while all you do is to miss important schedules given by your dentist. With these professionals around you, you should never worry about any developing issues that cannot be visible.
The next tip is that you need to upgrade your brush from time to time. If you feel comfortable using a brush for more than the given time, then you are in deep trouble. Dentists recommends that you keep advancing toothbrushes every three months. When you are experiencing teeth discoloration, you will be advised to avoid stuff like; high contents of coffee, red wine, smoking and so many others. If you follow these instructions, then have no doubts of having changed.
There is a good reason why the dentists would recommend braces for your condition. Many people tend to think that dentists should only be consulted by people who have stained teeth only but they are mistaken. Aligning is the only process that the misaligned teeth can be done to be where they are supposed to be using braces. You cannot claim to have the best hygienic practices while your teeth cannot allow you to. When you are unable to do a proper cleaning of your teeth, it means that you will start experiencing bad odor coming from your mouth. If you wish to find the correct braces, then you need to start looking for the best local cosmetics for dental. Remember that some are very uncomfortable and they also vary with prices. You, therefore, require to be very cautious when dealing with these shops.

David MottonSee other Blog articles filed in 'Travel and touring' written by David Motton
Tow Car Editor
I've only been back at work a few days, after two weeks away on my summer holiday.
I can't tell you how happy it made me to come home to a doormat piled high with bills, a full email inbox, and a to-do list so long my pen ran out.
To put myself in a better mood, and to hopefully do the same for anyone else suffering from the post holiday blues, I've made a list of reasons to feel cheerful when a summer holiday comes to an end.
It's time to plan your next holiday
The first thing I did when I got home was to start planning next year's big holiday.
Well, I say the first thing. After two loads of washing, a weekly shop, unpacking, cooking, putting children to bed, washing up, and spending a quiet half-hour in a darkened room.
Daydreaming about destinations for next year's caravan holiday is a great way to boost your mood, and there are no shortage of websites to provide inspiration (not least our own travel section and our Top 100 Sites Guide).
Book early, and you know exactly what you have to look forward to next year, plus there's no danger on missing out on a favourite campsite or destination.
Don't wait until next summer
The summer may be over, but there's still a good couple of months before many campsites and touring parks close their doors at the end of the season.
One of the best things about caravanning are those impromptu, last-minute breaks. Check the weather, book your pitch, hitch up and go.
Campsites and tourist attractions will be quieter in the autumn, and if we get an Indian summer the weather could be better than it's been for most of August.
For anyone who lives in or around London, the south coast or East Anglia are just a short tow away and ideal for a quick break.
Birmingham is within easy towing distance of the Cotswolds, Mancunians have the Lakes on their doorstep, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow the Trossachs are close enough for a weekend away in the caravan.
One of the great things about Great Britain is that wherever you live you're never far from some spectacular scenery.
Without the planning, the long journey, and the expense of a big holiday, a short break can be just as enjoyable as a longer tour, but with far less hassle.
So while you plan your next long holiday, think about grabbing some more short tours before the end of the season.
Look forward to winter
If you're a four-season caravanner there's plenty to look forward to throughout the year.
Plenty of British campsites do stay open through the winter, and there's really nothing better than waking up on a scenic pitch on a crisp, clear winter's day.
And if you don't mind a long tow (or ferry journey) you could always chase the sun to the south of France or Spain.
Be a practical caravanner
Readers often remind us that we're Practical Caravan. For many caravanners, DIY improvements, additions and maintenance are some of the pleasures of caravan ownership.
It's not too early to start researching this winter's big project. From upgrading electrics from 7-pin to 13-pin, to switching to LED awning lights, or replacing a cracked window, there are plenty of suggestions on our advice pages.
So whether it's daydreaming of more summer sun or upgrading your van, there's no reason to be down when you return from your big summer holiday.
At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

The upcoming live-action Dragonball movie starring Chow Yun Fatt, Justin Chatwin, James Marsters and Emma Rossum may not be too bad after all ;-)
According to this site, a reviewer who claims to have watched an early version of the movie wrote that the best parts included the action ("awesome"), James Marsters as Picollo, Justin Chatwin as Goku and Emma Rossum as Bulma. The worst parts were the story, Jamie Chung as Chi Chi, Chow Yun Fatt as Master Roshi ("acted like Mr. Kesuke Miyagi") and the CGI dragon. Overall the reviewer gave the movie a decent 6.5 out of 10.
Well, the movie is set for general release in April 2009 so we will know by then just how good or bad it is. But until then, check out the trailer here.

My Thoughts On Japanese Movie 20th Century Boys Part 1
Finally got to watch the the first part of the highly anticipated live-action movie adaptation of Naoki Urasawa 's hit manga 20th Century Boys (20世紀少年) over the weekend. Costing US$60 million and starring Toshiaki Karasawa, Tokiwa Takako, Etsushi Toyokawa and other top names in the Japanese entertainment industry, it's no wonder that I had sky-high expectations of this movie. And the film does not disappoint, the acting was generally superb, many of the characters looked exactly like their manga counterparts and the special FX was good (not Hollywood standard yet but at least I thought that it was better than the special effects in Death Note). However, I felt that something was missing from the movie... Not sure what that "something" was but somehow I just could not become fully absorbed in the story that was unfolding before me on the big screen...
And after thinking about why I have this feeling, I have come up with two possible reasons:
1. Not reading the manga first. The storyline is very complex, no mistake about that, and like a good whodunnit, there were little hints here and there of who the dastardly villain a.k.a Friend is, but to catch these hints, I think one has to be somewhat familiar with the plot first. I did not read the manga from beginning to end, only bits and pieces after I found out that there was going to be a movie adaptation. This could have affected my ability to fully appreciate what was going on. Perhaps, if I had finished reading the whole manga series before watching the movie, I would have had a greater appreciation for the film...
2. Not enough time to flesh out the characters. As they had to squeeze the long and highly complicated plot (22 volumes of manga in total and a timeline that spans from 1969 to 2015) into three 2-hour plus movies, it is understandable that some parts of the story had to be sacrificed... This may have affected the flow of the plot to a certain extent. Also, because of the sheer multitude of characters in the story, many key characters appear for far too short a time to allow the audience to have the chance to understand what motivates them and to feel for them. Without this emotional attachment to the characters, it is hard to become all that interested in what happens to them in the film...
But that is not to say that the characters were not memorable, in fact, some of them (especially the minor ones) have so much character and their personality and quirks were so vividly brought to life that you will remember them even if they just appear for a mere few minutes. Case in point is Naoto Takenaka's short 3(?) minute appearance.
The parts I liked the most were the scenes of Kenji and friends as kids, as these scenes evoked a feeling of sweetness and nostalgia. Also, the scenes between Kenji and his niece Kanna (who will play a leading role in the 2nd and 3rd instalments of the trilogy) were especially touching.
But all in all, for all its faults, this is the best Japanese movie that I have seen this year. and I will be eagerly looking forward to Part 2 early next year. But I think I will go read the manga first hehheh.
And here is the trailer for Part II on YouTube, looks pretty exciting to me! Btw, can't help but notice that 'Friend' sure has a wide variety of masks, he could consider setting up a retail outlet selling masks when he retires from his business of terrorisng his childhood pals and world domination ;-P

BERLIN — The government of Serbia said Tuesday that it had arrested the man suspected of firing the bullet that killed Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic two weeks ago.
The alleged sniper, Zvezdan Jovanovic, was the deputy commander of a Serbian paramilitary group that had been established under former President Slobodan Milosevic and had ties to organized crime, said Serbia's new premier, Zoran Zivkovic. The group is accused of perpetrating some of the worst atrocities of the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s.
Zivkovic told reporters in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, that authorities had arrested Jovanovic on Monday. Investigators also recovered a rifle believed to have been used in the sharpshooter attack on Djindjic, who died in an ambush outside government headquarters March 12.
The government blames the assassination on an organized gang called the Zemun clan, whose ranks include former and active members of the Serbian special forces, or Red Berets. Another member of the paramilitary group, Sasa Pejakovic, was arrested along with Jovanovic.

Protector is a direct continuation from where Intruder left off. As such, it is a tangled mess of the continued "Shadow Guild" arc plus some additional crises. Tabini and Damiri relationship has become extremely strained as a consequence of the events of the previous book, yet despite the continuing familial and political strife, Cajeiri finally gets permission for his human friends to visit him. This visit turns out to have some serious political ramifications, due in part to the atevi political climate and also due to increased tensions between Mospheirans, the ship, and the refugees from Reunion station.

I am the sunlight that glows on the ground,
The fluffy clouds that float through the blue skies,
The wind that runs through the leaves all around,
The water that falls when the gray sky cries.
I am the birds that sing from the giant tree,
The bees that fly from flower to flower.
Oh hearken and hear that ever sweet melody,
As it carries on eternally, hour after hour.
I am the strong river that winds and flows,
The glow of the moon in the night sky.

Today marks the 96th Anniversary of the start of the Battle of Arras. I have to admit that I only know this is the anniversary because of Paul Reed's Blog which contains some really good links for more information as has this Blog by Mark Banning Much of the area that the battle was fought across is flat but between Arras & Lens the area is dominated by Vimy Ridge and now Vimy Ridge is dominated by the Canadian National Memorial which marks the loss of 58,000 Canadians.
In a previous post The Canadians are coming I posted a picture of the Wounded Warriors at Vimy during last years ride. Below are some pictures I took at Vimy in 2010.
Leaving Arras and it's stark white pillars we cycled through Loos and came to Dud Corner Cemetery where among the 684 headstones I found 2 of particular interest, one of Private Fynn of the Army Cyclist Corps and another of Capt Anketell Moutray Read VC 1st Batallion Northamptonshire Regt. whose citation reads:
"For most conspicuous bravery during the first attack near Hulluch on the morning of 25th September, 1915. Although partially gassed, Captain Read went out several times in order to rally parties of different units which were disorganised and retiring. He led them back into the firing line, and, utterly regardless of danger, moved freely about encouraging them under a withering fire. He was mortally wounded while carrying out this gallant work. Captain Read had previously shown conspicuous bravery during digging operations on 29th, 30th and 31st August, 1915, and on the night of the 29th-30th July he carried out of action an officer, who was mortally wounded, under a hot fire from rifles and grenades."
There are another 20,000 men remembered on the Loos Memorial at Dud Corner who have no known grave but who were as important to their families as Fynn and Read.
On a charity bike ride I found it amazingto find the grave of a member of the Army Cyclist Corps and will post a bit more about their history soon.

Overwatch Closed Beta Going On Break December 10
The Overwatch blog has been updated with news that the closed beta will be "going on break" starting December 10th. No new players will be added to the closed beta until it returns in January.
This phase of development has been key, but now it's time to analyze the data we have, dig into your feedback even further, and put that knowledge to use as best we can. To accomplish this, we will be bringing the Overwatch Closed Beta offline for an extended break beginning on Thursday, December 10 at 9:00 a.m. PST. During this downtime, we're looking forward to making more improvements to the game, as well as continuing to work on in-development features like spectating and progression.

Part of the inner wing was also badly eaten away, so I fabricated replacement parts (welding them in 2006). First I worked out what needed to be replaced, then modelled it in cardboard to make a pattern, cut the steel and then shaped it.
I have done quite a lot on it since, now that I have welding kit, including welding a patch which fills that dark triangle you can see an inch or so away from the clamp. Here you can see it in place.

An IdeaMatt Update 2010-05, The IT Crowd, TTL, and a Call For Help switching to Tumblr
In case you think I've given up on you, let me give you an update on what's going on here, and get your technical advice on changing my blog over to Tumbler (but still located here).
The main reason I went on hiatus was because this winter was a major life stress for me and my little family. It's now been a little over five months since my mom died, four since my mother-in-law died, three since my spermatocelectomy, and three weeks since my gum graft. Whew! As usual, I expect myself to jump back to normal productivity levels right away, but nature has something else in mind. I continue to struggle with this discrepancy. Fortunately, most of the post-op drugs are out of my system (my wife hates Prednisone, BTW) and I'm getting back into mountain biking [1] this week.
Consulting continues to be a heady mix of rewards, struggles, and uncertainty, and I'm still loving it and learning how to grow from it. In-person training and coaching is still slow, but picking up. Maybe the economy's turning around a bit. I'm in the early stage of an experiment to put on a local day-long seminar to gauge interest.
Products are still where I plan to put my main focus, including: 1) a solid e-book on meetings from a novel unique Think, Try, Learn perspective, 2) a nice little slidecast on email using my "Fewer, Faster, Clarity, Control" framework, and 3) a video recording of my 90-minute productivity seminar. In addition I'm in active discussions with two universities on partnering up for an on-line version of my full-day "Workflow 101" seminar. sI'm excited about all of these.
Keeping it light
To help manage the stress, esp. while exercise has been constrained, I'm inviting more humor into my life. I'm enjoying listening to Bernie Siegel's The Beginner's Guide to Humor and Healing (his book Love, Medicine and Miracles is good too), which is giving me a lot of Think, Try, Learn ideas.
However, my biggest discovery and delight in years is a brilliantly funny TV show from the UK, The IT Crowd. I love to laugh, but most stuff on TV doesn't work for me. However, this show is a delight. It could be you need to have a geek in your life to appreciate it, but parts were so funny that I had tears running down my face. My wife loved it too. Surprising, I find myself re-watching episodes because the content and performances are so good.
I've even gained a few pearls of wisdom from it, such as the Think, Try, Learn-ish quote "It does you no harm to look a little foolish from time to time." (Roy, S02E05), and the scene where the instructor of a stress class asks for a volunteer to demonstrate his machine. I love how the class applauds for her when she timidly stands up. Why do they clap? I think it's a sign of support, and an acknowledgment of her courage. Look for it at around the 1:40 point in YouTube - IT Crowd Stress class.
I'm widening my lexicon based on the character's expressions, which is a sure sign I've gone overboard. Highly recommended.
On Amazon: The IT Crowd: The Complete Season One, The IT Crowd: The Complete Second Season, and The IT Crowd: The Complete Third Season.
Edison development
I'm putting renewed energy back into Edison, the Think, Try, Learn experimenter's journal, with the focus being releasing version 1.2. The new features are ones we consider crutial before working on getting more users, including Facebook-style email notification when someone comments on your experiment, or comments after you on someone else's experiment. The meta-experiment is Design and Release Edison v1.2!.
We have some nice recent experiments, including a mind blower to add a sixth "EM" sense by implanting a magnet under the skin (see Have magnet implanted in finger - inspired by the Feeling Waves blog). You might enjoy others like Learning a new language, Avoid owning a car, Use Elance for a Commercial Programming Project, and Plant my first garden. I love our Edison users :-)
(Side note: I'm looking to hire a Ruby on Rails developer to implement this version. I have an excellent team in place, but our current developer is booked and I need someone who can fill in. Do you have anyone you've worked with that you love?)
Writing the TTL book
I've now jumped into writing my book, "Think, Try, Learn: A scientific method for discovering happiness," which I'm tracking in Edison. Anne Lamott's sublime Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life has been tremendously inspirational and helpful.
This was after I finished structuring the concepts using ideas from Writing the Natural Way (the process: nucleus word -> clustering -> internal pattern awareness -> emotionally charged trial-web shift -> impulse to write), plus your advice in Question For You: How Do You Organize A Book? The experiment was at Use Post-it note techniques to organize book ideas.
Help! Lowering the barrier to blogging
I would love your help on an experiment to lower a barrier to my blogging by switching to a Tumblr-based tool. I still have a lot to share, and I want to tap your ideas, but this current system doesn't support the way of writing that's natural right now: very short posts with lengths somewhere between Twitter and essays, but tilting toward the former. (These days, essay-length writing has to go into my book.) I'd use my Facebook account for this, but that venue seems better for the personal side. I've entered some sample entries here to give you a sense of the content and format I have in mind: ideamatt.tumblr.com.
My goal is to:
- Write posts on Tumblr
- Have new posts show up somewhere on matthewcornell.org
- Transparently switch RSS subscribers over to the new Tumblr-based feed
- Have existing posts still available at matthewcornell.org/blog
- Not screw up my Google or SEO rankings
- Continue to drive traffic to matthewcornell.org
- Inconvenience readers as little as possible
Is this straightforward? I'm thinking the steps are:
- Set up a Tumblr custom domain name that goes to tumblr.matthewcornell.org (say).
- Write a "final" post on matthewcornell.org/blog that redirects readers to tumblr.matthewcornell.org.
- Change my Feedburner RSS feed (feed://feeds.feedburner.com/ideamatt) over to the Tumblr one (feed://ideamatt.tumblr.com/rss).
- Try and Learn!
What do you think?

200 S. Spruce St., Centerville, IN 47330
Canal Days at Cambridge City, Indiana, were held on September 7 and 8, 1985, one of the hottest September weekends we have experienced in several years. Temperatures were in the low 90's on Saturday when the annual engine, tractor and antique machinery exhibit was held. This show, organized and managed by Charles and Eddie Hall of Cambridge City, has grown a bit larger each year since beginning two years ago.
This third year we were given access to a vacant lot in downtown Cambridge City plus a portion of the street in front of the lot. The regular list of exhibitors was present including the halls, Tom Kelsey, Mike Bond from Richmond and Jim Jones and sons from Centerville.
This year we were happy to have a larger display of vintage farm tractors than normal. Several John Deeres, including 1935 and 1936 model B's, a later 1940's model A and a few McCormick-Deering tractors were shown. The Halls had their Ottawa drag saw in operation and also a Standard Twin garden tractor in new condition. Numerous old engines were on display shelling corn, pumping water, operating a grindstone and other exhibits. In addition, old tools and an ancient foot powered lathe were on display.
Mike Bond had completed a model steam engine which was operated on compressed air. This engine was belted to a corn sheller and actually shelled corn. It was built as part of a high school machine shop project and shows what an enterprising young man can do with a difficult project built from scratch.
Danny and Jason Hall had a large display of antique wrenches and other farm tools. Several restored Maytag and Briggs & Stratton engines were on display. Jeff Himelick of Fountain City brought his trailer of engines down again and ground corn meal and pumped water. His Delco light plant provided power for Jim Jones' Kewanee water pump equipped with a 32 volt motor.
Fodder was shredded with an ancient Ross feed cutter powered by a 1936 John Deere B tractor. This machine was featured in a photo layout of the event in the county daily paper.
The exhibit closed Saturday night with the removal of the smaller equipment. However several of the old tractors were in the Sunday afternoon parade. Eddie Hall, a John Deere man who has green and yellow blood, dressed in his John Deere clothes but drove a McCormick-Deering F-20 in the parade. This brought numerous comments from the crowd.
The group plans an even larger show the end of June 1986 when Cambridge City plans a sesquicentennial celebration. It is hoped that more area collectors can come and take part in this exhibit which has proven to be a definite drawing card and crowd pleaser.

|4/18/18 New house in Maple Leaf
A new house is under construction a block away from mine. This is the same construction site where I sketched an excavator a couple of months ago. My plan was to sketch more of the various types of heavy equipment I've seen on the property the past several months, but most of that occurred during our long stretch of cold and rain, and parking wasn't allowed nearby, so I missed all of that.
Yesterday it finally warmed up a bit, so I took advantage of the dry day to sketch the site. I'll reserve final opinion until the house is completed. For now, let's just say that based on what I can see of this elevation, the house doesn't quite fit the rest of the neighborhood.
But how would you know? Other than The Maple Bar and Reckless Video, both neighborhood businesses occupying traditional houses, I've hardly sketched any houses in my 'hood. I suppose familiarity breeds contempt or at least invisibility, because I don't really "see" the houses I pass every day (or for that matter, the one I live in). I'm going to remedy that. Now that it's finally feeling more like spring, I'm going to start sketching some of the homes that are what I consider typical and traditional of this area. Perhaps by then this new house will be done, and you can decide for yourself whether it belongs in Maple Leaf.

Co-ordinated by the Plug-in Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Research Center, UC Davis
The International EV Policy Council is a group of 25 experts from around the world committed to developing effective policies to promote EV market growth. The experts are all researchers and academics working at universities, laboratories, institutes, and research centres that focus on gathering empirical evidence on battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The council meets in workshops where they bring together their research findings to build an in-depth understanding of global EV market developments. This research is assimilated into systematic literature reviews that contain this research and research from other academics around the world. Once all empirical evidence on an area has been gathered the council develop policy guides that are backed up by a large body of empirical evidence. This means that the project will provide policy makers with the most holistic and robust policy guides to date allowing them to make informed policy decisions.
The International EV Policy Council uses a robust process to produce these policy briefs. This process can be seen below.
In 2016 and 2017 the International EV Policy Council has been focusing on developing policy guides that can help regional market successes and spur new beachhead markets. The policy guides are therefore useful for markets where EVs are achieving market growth (e.g Norway, California, Sweden) and in regions where EVs have yet to take significant market shares. During 2016 and 2017 the council has been developing policy guides that address the following areas.

A basketball-sized rock hit the moon during the last lunar eclipse
Thousands of people were watching the total lunar eclipse on January 21 when something suddenly smacked into the moon, creating a flash of light. Now professional and amateur astronomers have used fortuitous photographs of the strike to estimate the object's size.
Astronomer Jorge Zuluaga and his colleagues gathered images taken by amateurs in Colombia and the Dominican Republic, plus a...
A space rock collision may explain how this exoplanet was born
Cataclysmic collisions between space rocks have helped explain some of the solar system's biggest mysteries, from how the moon formed to how Uranus got its lopsided rotation. But convincing evidence for such events happening outside of the solar system is scant.
Now scientists think that they have found the first known example of a near head-on collision between two massive worlds in...
Titan's oddly thick atmosphere may come from cooked organic compounds
Titan may have a home-baked atmosphere.
Saturn's largest moon gets some of its thick atmosphere by cooking organic molecules in a warm core, a new study suggests.
The decay of radioactive elements may warm Titan's core from within, splitting nitrogen and carbon off from complex organic molecules. Once free, those elements can recombine into nitrogen and methane molecules and escape...
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover weighed the mountain it's climbing
For the first time, a Mars rover has measured the mass of the rocks beneath its wheels. By taking gravity measurements as it climbed a Martian mountain, Curiosity discovered something surprising: Mount Sharp appears to have been built in two phases — one soggy, one dry.
The rover found that the rocks it is driving over are less densely packed than scientists expected. That suggests the...

Ring ripples reveal how long a day lasts on Saturn

The moon's craters suggest Earth hasn't erased lots of past impacts
A new look at the moon's craters suggests the Earth and moon both suffered a sharp increase in impacts around 290 million years ago, and Earth has kept its biggest scars.
Geologists long assumed that erosion and tectonic activity had erased Earth's craters so thoroughly that "you couldn't say anything about the craters on Earth at all," says planetary scientist Rebecca Ghent (SN: 12/22/...
Two daring spacecraft aim to bring asteroid dust back to Earth

I am so incredibly happy and honored to have taken Jacqueline + Jon's engagement photos — and to photograph their wedding in April 2016!
Jacqueline and I (and all of her sisters) used to play at her grandmother's cabin in Woodruff, Wi. More-so the Hatch girls babysat me, while our moms chatted on the lakeshore. Jacqueline has the honor of teaching me how to dive into the lake!
Jacqueline has always been athletic, so it's no surprise she met her fiancé at the gym. Now these two love-birds are coaches at Crossift262 in Waukesha, Wi. Jacqueline + Jon's passion for health and fitness shines through in their engagement photos at Devils Lake State Park — hiking 15 minutes to Parfrey's Glen was no problem nor was carrying their vintage (heavy) cooler through the sand!

Following my run of the Illinois Marathon on Saturday, I was a bit disappointed in not making my goal times. I had ideally wanted to run a 4:45, and more realistically a 5:00 marathon. My actual time was 5:21, and my moving time (minus a bathroom break & medical tent stop) was 5:12. But I think this was a reasonable outcome given the circumstances (knee issues + pending cold).
Lessons Learned:
Seek Help at the first sign of injury. I had been dealing with nagging knee aches & pains for six weeks before I decided I really should see someone about it. Unfortunately at that point, my travel schedule prevented me from seeing anyone, so I never got help. You know I'll be seeing a PT after this to get support in identifying the causes and ways to address my knee issues.
Cross Training, specifically yoga & strength training, should not be skipped. Even though I know they are good, I didn't do too much yoga until end of March. I also didn't do many strength-focused workouts, which may be part of the reason why I developed knee pain.
Continue to follow your training plan during taper. As my knee pains got more frequent, it was the same time I began my taper, so I lessened the amount of running I was doing, much beyond the taper plan. One week I ran 1.5 miles + the long run. Another week, 3 miles + "long run." Ideally I'd be without injury and able to run as planned in the taper period.
I also travelled a lot during the taper, which impacted not only my running, but also my sleep. You're supposed to begin to get more sleep as you increase mileage & then taper, but the nature of the travel & work made this incredibly hard. And that also didn't do anything for my stress levels.
Plan for some salt. I'm a salty sweater and I know it! Maybe it was because my training was in cooler months and I sweat less, but I hadn't planned for as much sweat & salt loss as happened during the marathon. When my knee started to bother me during the race, I also started to freak out about how much salt I'd lost and whether I was experiencing hyponatremia. That's probably me being a hypochondriac. When I stopped at the medical tent at mile 18 to have my knee wrapped, I downed about 1/2 bottle of gatorade within 3 minutes. I felt great after that, but what would have happened had I not stopped for that break? I should plan some more for sodium/electrolyte intake beyond the gu's & shot blocks I'm consuming. Maybe bring some pretzels or salt tabs?
Plan in cutback weeks more intelligently. I planned weeks where my mileage did not increase, or decreased only a little (i.e. 10%), but looking back on my training log I realized I needed a bigger cutback about every 4 weeks. This is recommended, and although I didn't quite plan for it, my body needed it every 4 weeks. I should plan better for this and not wait for my body to cry out – "No, not another 15 miler!"
Incorporate speedwork into my training plan. I tried to plan some in, and I think I should structure this a bit more. I would probably want to do more regular tempo runs during the week. This was M's suggestion. I'd likely plan to build up to a weekly tempo run of hopefully 6 miles. Overall I would have liked to have more medium-long runs during the week in my training.
Have you run a marathon? What were your lessons learned or tips for runners looking to improve?

before & after on M Street
This plain but interesting house was gutted to two walls and part of a foundation, and then rebuilt larger and strabismal.
TAGGED: architecture, before/after, Jewels, M Street
Well, its a plus, in that a vacant house was transformed to a house that may give life and activity to the area. However, it had great proportions and balance before – can't say the same for the "after" version. Seems like since they were re-doing it all anyway, it would have been simple to replicate the window and door spacing, the window sizes, and the roofline (I just noticed that they did away with the eaves on the side elevations of the house). What a shame, and what a lost opportunity.
Geezzz.. it looks horrible. Has no "Victorian" flavor at all. In fact, looks like a kids toy or a cardboard gingerbread house. Has the wrong windows and are set too far apart, the wrong proch roof, and zero detail work. Extremely bland.
elaine odell
Steven & Brandon…do you live in Union Hill? If you do, are you supportive of the area becoming a City Old & Historic District?
In such a district (e.g. Church Hill North and St. Johns District,) the suggestions you make above would have been in line with those of the City's Division of Historic Preservation and the Commission of Architectural Review. These two entities oversee restoration and new construction in City Old & Historic Districts.
If you'd like to get involved in the Union Hill Historic District Initiative, we'd love to have your help. Please send an email at email@example.com.
It is truly unbelievable to me all of the nay saying people who post on this blog. How anyone in their right mind can look at these two pictures and say they prefer the architectural elements of the "before†and degrade the "after†is astonishing. As a resident of M Street I can assure you that we are happier with the house as it stands now. It absolutely kills me how people in this neighborhood are so willing to let the perfect stand in the way of the good and then complain that no one wants to invest in the Hill.
No one is saying it doesn't look better. But it still looks bad. A few simple changes to the design would do wonders. I don't understand how any builder wouldn't recognize that the placement of the windows and the shape of the porch roof is all wrong. Having these right wouldn't even cost more money.
But the lack of certain details and use of shingles for the front shows they cut corners to lower the cost.
Maybe they cut costs on hiring an architect too?
Eric S. Huffstutler
I don't know who renovated this building but it most likely was an independent who has no skills restoring old architecture. Like 'J' said, a few changes would have done wonders in making it blend in and more correct to era supposedly represented. What they did was cut too many corners.
Yes, a "newer" building is better than blight BUT you can also do a restoration properly if you tackle it at all.
Eric S. Huffstutler
And for the windows… whoever heard of placing windows in the corner of a room instead of the center of the wall where they are supposed to be? (2nd floor).
Ryan Ramsey
The developer/contractor was Jewel, Inc. While I admire their investment in the neighborhood, I usually find a lot to be desired in their final product. This renovation being a fine example.
Take a look at the duplex they renovated at the southeast corner of 26th & East Leigh Street for example. It too has lackluster windows and doors with absolutely no adornment to the windows or roof line. The result is a bland and boring renovation. With a little more detail and thought, these renovations could have been taken to the next level.
I have to agree with you, "j" and Eric, on this one. Even to my admittedly untrained eye, the upper windows look way too short, and misplaced. The single window size on the first floor porch should have been duplicated, and in this case, surely less expensive than the ugly double.
Lerry Schaftlein
which website is this??? Architects.com? Wow…yeah,tho i walk a mile … judge not…ok, now…ummmm, let me check…where would I rather live…or, which house would I rather be next to…in the ****hole before or the quite comfortable and attractive home that sits there now??? Perhaps standards deviate considerably and with those standards, so does the intellect.
Sherry Laflein
Honestly, I'd prefer to live next to the former version of the house. The current version has to be more comfortable and efficient to live in, though.
The falling apart houses in the area hark back to a previous era and offer the promise of a real nice restoration. These ticky tacky plain vinyl houses don't really offer anything other than what they are and will look like real shit in 10 years.
Lerry Schaftlein
You seem to be unfamiliar of that of which you speak. Hardi-plank is not vinyl.
I like the "onomopateia" in "ticky tacky plain vinyl", though…it's quite catchy…von hier wuenschen wir Euch alles Gute o/o
The renovation of the structure at 26th and Leigh Streets, located in a City Historic District, was done in accordance with the guidelines established by CAR (Commission of Architectural Review). Because there was no prior evidence of any other adornments, the décor was limited to what you see. We definitely wanted to put corbels around the entire roofline and do more to give the building a more pleasant visual appeal. If anyone has any suggestions to improve 26th and Leigh, which can be approved by CAR, please let us know as we will gladly attempt to improve its "blandnessâ€.
The house located at 2105 M Street when purchased had very little, if any, historic fabric. The windows and doors were not original to the structure. The renovation may not be 100% historic or perfect, but is certainly an improvement to what was there.
We have worked hard to improve the Union Hill neighborhood. We've renovated several houses historically in the immediate area 510, 512, 612, 614 and 614 ½ N. 23rd and returned them to their former historic beauty.
Presently, under the Department of Historic Resources guidelines, we are renovating 1925 and 1927 Carrington, 706 N. 24th Street, and 907 N. 27th Street.
Jewels, Inc. works hard and is very proud of our accomplishments. Your neighborly support would be appreciated.
Just saw a HGTV episode that said… if you have architectural elements on the house, USE it to your advantage, because it will brings back more than twice of your cost. Or you can do what this builder did and put in a minimum amount of $$ and turn it over for a quick profit. I guess both can be considered an investment, depending which side your on.
OMG KILL IT!!! Turn it back into what it was! Where the heck do people get their architectural sense?
Tom O'Kelly:
What were you thinking about?! Come on dude, if you are going to renovate en masse in one of the last neighborhoods in the US that has vast antebellum housing stock, please use more care.
How can you accompany a group of preservation activists for a meeting with Council Members to promote preservation and CAR reform, and then do this?
You have been a proponent of pattern books, and yet, this would never be in any pattern book for a neighborhood like ours.
Seriously dude, have you lost your mind?
Eric S. Huffstutler
I emailed Tom and asked him what was going on here? I am posting his reply which I don't think he will mind but I also don't agree with his thinking:
(edited by john m: don't post quotes from other folks' email without their permission)
So there you have it. To me it sounds like a person who has no respect for historic neighborhoods. The original house may not have had a lot going for it other than "age" but on the other hand is the entire block/neighborhood that way? And if not, why couldn't a house be replicated that shows on the facade some historic blending? Remember, facade means face" and it is the face you see first – first impressions. Do what you like to the interiors on these fill-ins (which it became) but try to keep within Old and Historic and CAR guidelines. A contractor who only thinks bottom line isn't dedicated to preserving the historic fabric of Church Hill. It isn't always about the $$$ (see the thread on "new construction at 2104-2106 Cedar Street†for similar comments and concern)
Eric S. Huffstutler
I voiced additional concerns to Tom and he rebounded back with bottom line economics concerning this building. It is not protected by historic designations as with other areas and he cited the building had no ornamentation to begin with. But he chose to completely redesign the house to a different style and profile and in turn I pointed him to various houses done by The Better Housing Coalition such as 1119, 1124, and 1201 N 24th Street. All in the same style he ended up with but done correctly. What is the difference between their building on a budget versus his?
Wow, Eric. Did you have builder's permission to post his personal e-mail response to you?
I thought the builder was a big supporter of getting the O&HD to cover Union Hill, too, notwithstanding the debate on the curb appeal of this project. He's also been recognized by the Assoc for the Conservation of Richmond Neighborhoods.
Eric S. Huffstutler
I figured that the email was short and to the point on his views so posted it. I made mention to him about our concerns and pointed him to the thread. His second email was more involved and did not post it but summarized. I too was a bit taken back by his responses because I felt he was an advocate of preservation no matter the costs. I guess he is feeling the pinch of the economic meltdown and wants to turn these buildings around quickly if the CAR is not involved. I know he was interested in the 401 N 27th building at one point and concerned that it was done right.
My concern is that he says the house has no historic fabric. That bothers me because it leads me to believe he isn't looking at the neighborhood as a whole being historic and that a house under X-years old doesn't count or matter?
Is that the ideology of most contractors today and what we are up against to help "preserve" the historic fabric of Church Hill and its surrounding neighborhoods?
Tom O'Kelly
I am appalled that you would post my private email without my permission, further you only posted the part you thought best.
We all have different views, I challenge each and every one of you to save a house, how we at Jewels Inc. General Contractors have saved many, some Historic and some not, while ya'll just talk do do.
Tom O'Kelly
#22-"I challenge each and every one of you to save a house, how we at Jewels Inc. General Contractors have saved many, some Historic and some not,.."
I have, in this, and other cities, across the southeast.
That certainly was a childish response, Tom O'Kelly.
#22-"I challenge each and every one of you to save a house, how we at Jewels Inc. General Contractors have saved many, some Historic and some not,.."
Each and everyone of us? Are you that sure that none of us haven't done what your company has done? Maybe not only in this city, but other places across the northeast and midwest as well?
Don't take it personally, but you made a challenge. I felt compelled to respond.
Most of the builder's other work would more than satisfy the objecting parties on this thread. In fact, he's doing some very nice work now on 24th. His immediate neighbors admire and appreciate his work.
I think his point that he needed to keep his employees working is a fair one. Whether that outweighs the aesthetic concerns of the neighborhood, I don't know. I'm not sure it was fair to post selected contents of his e-mail without asking him.
Instead of picking this property apart, perhaps we should focus energy on continuing support for the expanded O&HD intitiative. Too much personal negativity here could lose a few supporters of the intitiative, including the builder (who has supported the CAR).
I love the house on M. Historic or not it's a definite improvement. Neighbor bashing does is not positive for any of us. Keep up the good work.
Eric S. Huffstutler
Tom… When I asked you the questions I mentioned concerns on the thread meaning I was seeking an answer to be able to take to the table. I posted your first email in its entirety so what did I "pick and choose" from it? Your second email was more detailed but the bottom line you were stressing was economics so that is what I relayed. Should I post that email in its entirety too so others can make the same assessment? The only other aspect you kept stressing is the fact that it had one bedroom and you raised the roof height to accommodate a second – which could have been build behind the first so the façade could be adjusted to a proper configuration. That is where licensed architects come in to preserve aesthetics while accommodating wanted changes.
I think you are taking this too personal as well or feeling guilty so acting defensive? All I know is what I see and what we are expecting.
Guess the next step like others have stressed is to get Union Hill "protected" so just any old thing isn't quickly built and "picked apart" as some believe we are doing. Looks like the majority here are in favor of it being more historic rather than an improvement and as I mentioned before, the thread about the houses on Cedar street has a post by one person who believes in spending more on extensive restorations so it has a better chance of selling to the proper people that appreciate the work and historic aspect – so the neighborhood in general can also improve one house at a time. It isn't always about catering to the lazy who want "low maintenance" housing or doing it quick and cheap. There should be some pride also involved in preserving our historic neighborhoods.
Bill Conkle
I support the O&HD initiative because I value the historic integrity of the neighborhood. However, I value my neighbors more so.
Tom Okelly and Jewels Inc. have done amazing work in Union Hill and Church Hill. They were here early- investing in and fixing up houses that nobody else wanted to tackle. They continue that work today, when many other investors and contractors have given up, abandoned projects and headed back to wherever they came from.
Tom Okelly is home. He lives right here in the neighborhood and has invested everything in revitalizing the area. I can call him at 3am if I have a personal or family emergency. He would give me the shirt off his back if he thought I needed it. He is that kind of person.
Any criticism of Jewels should be leveled in the context of all the other homes they have saved from the wrecking ball or demolition by neglect.
In these economic times, he continues to provide employment for his crew and continues to work to improve the neighborhood. Is he perfect? Me either.
I don't think that we are neighbor bashing at all. Mr. Kelly has been very public and vocal about being a proponent of preservation and doing quality work that compliments our historic surroundings.
This "job" is just plain contrary to his public stance. I don't think that the faltering economy is a good excuse.
For the folks who think that this house is perfectly fine, I'd like to ask you a question:
Why did you move into Church Hill? Was it cheaper housing? Is it in close proximity to your favorite bars/restaurants? Does preservation and the historic housing stock have any influence on your decision to live here?
I have to say that I am floored that folks would move into a very rare and important historic neighborhood like Church Hill and not see the value of preservation and compatible in-fill.
Eric S. Huffstutler
Bill… I have no personal vendetta against Tom and he was a supporter of trying to save the 401 N 27th building. Just that using the "current economic status" is a new cop out for many people when it comes to doing what should be the right thing. Yes, I am sure he has saved many houses and provided many homes but are they all historically accurate down to details? It is THAT aspect we are concerned about and though he argues that the "details" costs more, you can go green and recycle old details and refurbish them or make new ones from scratch rather than buy them. I have seen other contractors go dumpster diving looking for salvageable parts to strip, fix, and reuse. If a person is truly conscience of their surroundings then they will make the extra effort to conform to its ways. Maybe go to towns outside of Richmond and look for houses being torn down to collect parts to restore older homes instead of going to a local parts warehouse? If there is a will there is a way to save money – even if they are a contractor. That's not constricting what is done on the inside or even the sides or back of a house. It is the front that people see and what counts first then all else secondary. I know that the CBH is funded but are their material lists more costly or the design conformities?
Eric S. Huffstutler
Thanks hillkid. I know we have our differences but you have just reiterated what I have been stating all along on all threads. You move into a historic neighborhood by choice and know what is involved. It is "historic" and should be preserved that way. Moving into a historic area takes on some extra responsibilities and if you don't want them or agree to it, then move to the suburbs and build your ultra modern rancher but don't destroy the fabric of our neighborhoods because of your indifference.
Bill Conkle
post number 16- you call out Tom O'Kelly by name, yet you weakly sign your post as hillkid. Have some integrity and character…if you are going to call someone out by name… atleast sign your own name to the post. It is easy to attack when you use multiple, artificial names to attack folks that are working, heart and soul, although not to your standards, to save our neighborhood.
Eric S. Huffstutler
Bill… no matter what you say, when dealing with historic and recognized areas there should be "standards" in place. Else wise we would quickly loose all shreds of anything historic about our neighborhoods. People just don't get it what it means to live in such an area – or simply don't care? Which is it? It is more than saving a couple select buildings but blocks of buildings and entire neighborhoods.
Mr. Conkle,
I am a bit surprised with your stance especially when I (we) thought you were a big supporter of restoration having owned and worked on many houses including the one at 801 N 24th. And your working for the VA Dept. of "Conservation" and Recreation.
big surprise. hillkiid the gutless anonymous bitch talking trash about a guy who actually does some good instead of hiding behind a ridiculous pseudonym. o kelly has more integrity in his pinky than you have in your whole shittalking body. i have said it before ,if a ridiculous reactionary dork like eric can own up to his repellent opinions why cant you?the answer of course is your lack of courage which is why you post from behind cover instead of addressing your neighbors inplain view. i know this hillkid is a teachers pet but comeon who wants to listen to this bullshit from a guy too gutless to take respnsobility for his opinions? hey murden before you edit or delete me try to remember that you told a real media outlet that you have only deleted ten to fifteen posts on your website . shit dude you have blocked that many of my posts alone. cherrypicking solicitations hamstings arguments and reveals you as a dilletante not the journalist you purport to be. yeah i know john start my own website.
Eric S. Huffstutler
Buddy… thanks for the backhanded compliment (I think)?
Bill Conkle
Steven, If you knew me, I don't think my stance would be all that surprising. I am a big supporter of historic restoration and the establishment of an historic district for Union Hill.
However, I think that neighbors and neighborhood trump even that. I have learned that most issues go deeper and are more complex than a simple one sentence philosophy.
Sometimes you have to listen and understand that circumstances and individual perspectives may require and individual to be flexible and be willing to accept that there are sometimes more than one appropriate response to a challenge.
At the end of the day, we are all neighbors and very much so dependent upon eachother to grow our community. I'll be happy to talk more about this if you'd like. My number is in the book.
However, I am surprised and don't appreciate your attempt at mocking my profession and suggesting that my stance is somewhat contrary to the mission of my employer and then not sign your full name. I don't get a charge out of defending my beliefs based on where I work.
"It is easy to attack when you use multiple, artificial names"
Nope, just hillkid, no other names.
Bill Conkle and buddy corbett:
So much for your integrity. What ever happened to refraining from the personal attacks?
I have no problem with your opinion about O'Kelly's work on this house. Fine, but I don't agree. Let's keep it at that. You two are the ones making this personal.
Mr. Conkle, you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. To support the O&H for UH and think that this kind of work is acceptable is hypocritical. You can't have it both ways.
#33: Addressing Mr. O'Kelly is fair game. He is the owner of Jewel Contracting and he has won an ACORN award for preservation work. He has taken a public stance on preservation many times and likes to tell the public about how he has contributed to our neighborhood.
Bill, I was only using the "Conservation" stance related to your work to drive home a point about consciousness of what should be done versus what is being done. Like hillkid said, you can't have it both ways. Living in a historic area is by choice and all neighbors should get along and support that choice, not go and do their own thing. Otherwise you will loose that uniqueness of being a "historic" area and "preserving" it rather than alter and destroy it. That is where rules and guidelines like other cities have should be in place and enforced. Ever heard of gentrification used in context with preservation? Gentrification (coined first in 1963 by Ruth Glass) actually means one thing but can be used out of context in the way you and others see it. The problem is that people have been left to do their own thing for too long and there has to be an end to it when it comes to Church Hill and its neighbors. Unification.
"The renovation of the structure at 26th and Leigh Streets, located in a City Historic District, was done in accordance with the guidelines established by CAR."
This statement is misleading. While Jewel Inc. may have renovated this building with CAR guidelines in mind, it was not approved by the CAR, nor did it go through the CAR COA process. The O&H in Church Hill North was designated after work on this building began. All BZA and design permits were granted before the O&H was in place.
Hillkid – you should get your facts straight before posting false information on this site. The project at 26th and Leigh was purchased and the BZA hearing was held prior to the historic district being established. But you are INCORRECT that the permits and design did not fall under CAR. The O&H for North Church Hill was approved on May 27, 2007. The first permits for the project were not applied for until June of 2007. A CAR hearing was held on this project and the building plans were ABSOLUTELY approved by the Commission of Architectural Review, color approval and all. All of this information is verifiable on the City's website. Your lies can be detrimental to our business and good reputation – yes, we have a good reputation. Our livelihood and that of our employees count on Jewels, Inc. to continue in business. Enough is enough!
Hey folks,
It seems like everything has been said here that was worth saying (and then some). I'm going to put a time-out on this one to allow everyone to cool off a bit.

From the author of The Dawkins Delusion, Inventing the Universe looks at just why we are drawn to towards science and God.

We just can't stop talking about the big questions around science and faith. They haven't gone away, as some predicted they might; in fact, we seem to talk about them more than ever. Far from being a spent force, religion continues to grow around the world. Meanwhile, Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists argue that religion is at war with science - and that we have to choose between them.
It's time to consider a different way of looking at these two great cultural forces. What if science and faith might enrich each other? What if they can together give us a deep and satisfying understanding of life?
Alister McGrath, one of the world's leading authorities on science and religion, engages with the big questions that Dawkins and others have raised - including origins, the burden of proof, the meaning of life, the existence of God and our place in the universe. Informed by the best and latest scholarship, Inventing the Universe is a groundbreaking new primer for the complex yet fascinating relationship between science and faith.
Inventing the Universe by Alister McGrath was published by Hodder & Stoughton General Division in October 2015 and is our 13939th best seller. The ISBN for Inventing the Universe is 9781444798456.
