AOPA President Phil Boyer presents the
2005 Hartranft Award to Rep. James Oberstar.
The power of AOPA's 407,000 members carries a lot of political weight, but even so, it sometimes takes the special effort of dedicated political leaders who love general aviation to make good things happen. And to recognize those uncommon politicians, AOPA created the Hartranft Award, named after the association's first president.
Saturday evening in Tampa, AOPA presented the J.B. "Doc" Hartranft Award to Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.). "Jim has been a friend of AOPA's for many years and is recognized by his peers and by the aviation community as an aviation expert. Even though he isn't a pilot, I call him 'Mr. Aviation,'" said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "As the Ranking Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Jim has an influential role and has served the aviation community well."
Oberstar has been a strong and reliable ally in AOPA's efforts to defeat air traffic control privatization and user fees. He recognizes that a strong, viable air transportation system is critical to the nation.
"Just as you honor me, let me honor you, the citizen pilot," Rep. Oberstar said. "You support the aviation infrastructure with your landing fees and fuel taxes. You are an American phenomenon - the citizen pilot." Oberstar spoke to the closing banquet of AOPA Expo 2005 via videotape.
But these are troubling times for GA, he noted. Specifically, the Washington, D.C., Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) "has had a profound affect on general aviation. I oppose the effort to make it permanent," Oberstar said. "Lighter aircraft flying at slower speeds should not be subject ADIZ requirements.... These restrictions impose requirements on pilots that are difficult to meet and cause many to reduce their flying hours, or to stop flying altogether."
Serving in his fifteenth term, Oberstar has long been a champion of general aviation. His leadership in passing landmark legislation over the years has included the General Aviation Product Liability Reform bill, and numerous multiyear aviation funding bills such as the historic AIR-21 and VISION-100 measures that dramatically increased federal funding available for important improvements and protections of GA airports. Oberstar has been tenacious in acting to ensure that much-needed resources paid into the aviation trust fund reach GA airports across the country.
In the 109th Congress, Oberstar has led efforts to protect airports, including standing up to increasing pressure by individual members of Congress to close facilities. He has also been a voice of reason as emotional responses ran high in the wake of inadvertent incursions into the Washington, D.C., airspace.
Oberstar recognized that education is a key component before difficult, burdensome, and costly mandates are applied to GA pilots. He personally spoke to both senators and congressmen to ask them to reconsider the effects of their legislation and to avoid placing a legislative mandate on GA. As a result of these efforts, Oberstar successfully prevented the legislation from being hastily considered by the House of Representatives before the August recess.
The J.B. "Doc" Hartranft Award is named for AOPA's first employee and president of the association for 38 years. It is awarded annually to the federal, state, or local government official who has done the greatest good on behalf of general aviation.

Scot: What a day! We have just come back from the Julie Fowlis concert this evening (this being the Celtic Music themed Jamie and Claire Tour). I know Julie Fowlis's folk music but this was a commissioned piece called Heisgeir. It was a short film, backed with her live band of Celtic instruments, documenting an abandoned island near where she comes from just off the west of Uibhist. I was really touched by the piece. It was the premier and possibly the only performance so Sam did well to find us tickets. The musicians spoke in Gaelic and English and the islanders in the film told tales and their life experiences on the outer isles in Gaelic. Our Outlandish Spirits had the full experience of what Claire would have heard a majority of the time, 200 years back from her own time.
I had a grand we natter with a man called Jamie who had traveled 10 hours to come to this gig and was camping in a midge-infested river location.
Yesterday I ran into a man for whom I had done a storytelling session last year, way up in a hunting lodge. He now works at the Black Isle Brewery, near to Inverness and he said they were having an Oktoberfest. I told the Line-m-up crew and this afternoon we went over and joined the festivities and sampled the ales and listened to some great music from local blues and folk musicians. (A Festival being another 'First' of new experiences on the J&C Tour). It's handy when we have a smallish group of enthusiasts (as opposed to a large coach tour) because we can take advantage of such fortuitous deviations in the planned itinerary.
The ale was grand as was the Bratwurst (it is an oktoberfest afterall). The cook was another of my storytelling acquiantances named Ricky. Tall, red haired, wears a kilt, AND COOKS. Oh the lasses of the posse had a wee bit o fun at his expense. He made the Bratwurst himself from "Gloucester Old Spot and The White Sow" pigs on Monday. Fresh!
All this and we still managed to do the planned visit of the day. A very special burial place that will remain secret. The posse found it to be moving, from all accounts.
The Line-m-up posse in fluid form, Mr Reid, sings in the background.
Sista joins in the straw throwing with the under 5s.
Debie and Sistas read to us from the UK copy of Outlander - note the alternative artwork and name of 'Crosstitch'. Note also the pint pots. These lasses are all "blondes".

SUP Women | Joanna Hamilton-Vale
Standup paddler, distance runner, sailor, rower, wakeboarder, Stand Up for the Cure global ambassador, and two-time breast cancer survivor; the UK's Joanna ('Jo') Hamilton-Vale can answer to any of those titles. The competitor from Southampton is as strong as she is athletically diverse and is motivating females of all ages to get outdoors and have fun staying active. —SC
SUP: After initially entering the racing scene you said you changed your diet. Can you tell us what your diet typically consists of now to keep you race-ready?
JH: When changing my diet, I cut out all bread, pasta, grains, and sugar, resulting in me being able to use fat as my energy source. Unfortunately, sugar is my guilty pleasure so I occasionally succumb and have an extremely naughty day.
Being a paddler of almost 50 years old, I also rely on supplements whilst training and racing. My supplements are mainly magnesium, zinc and omega-3.
Where do you like to paddle when at home in the Southampton area?
At home I have no one close by to train with, therefore lots of long paddles on my own can become tedious. My favorite paddle is from the mainland to the Isle of Wight. The round-trip distance is only 14km, but it crosses two busy shipping lanes, strong currents, and lots of water traffic. This paddle always keeps me alert.
You've competed in the 125-mile SUP 11-City Tour three times and last year chose to compete in the non-stop division, where you took second place. What was the most grueling part of the 29 hours and 48 minutes it took you to finish the race?
The most grueling part of the non-stop race was when I got lost during the night. Unfortunately, I struggle with differentiating between right and left; so despite telephone calls from my husband directing me, my bad navigation continued for almost five kilometers.
In addition, Mother Nature provided the non-stop paddlers with relentless bad weather and nine hours of constant headwind through the night. This included tropical rain storms and a few lightning storms. At one point, I even had to prone paddle my board to the side of a lake because the lightning was directly overhead.
Physically, the biggest challenge was leg endurance. My upper body survived the race relatively well, however, I was taking painkillers to ease the pain in my legs from around the 16 hour point.
You're preparing for another arduous event, the 444-mile Yukon River Quest, while concurrently fundraising for Standup for the Cure (SUFTC), where you serve as a Global Ambassador. What made you decide to fundraise for SUFTC during the buildup to what you've said will be your 'most difficult challenge' to-date?
SUFTC is a charity very close to my heart because I have survived breast cancer twice. I was extremely lucky to have had adequate health insurance, ensuring I was treated very quickly on both occasions. I find it very upsetting that some people are not receiving immediate treatment due to the lack of private medical coverage. I will do everything I can to raise awareness and money to assist treatment, cure, and prevention measures.
What are you looking forward to most at June's Yukon River Quest?
I have asked anyone who donates to SUFTC to pass me the name of a loved one who is either fighting or did not survive cancer, and I will place every name on my race shirt that I wear for the 444 miles. I am most looking forward to taking all of those strong people on this magnificent journey with me.
What are you striving to accomplish in SUP?
In the UK, SUP was heading in many directions with no structure or plan. I contacted a few very driven paddlers in the UK and between us, we formed UK SUP. It's a non-profit organization that manages the UK National Race Series, which is composed of eight to 10 races a year across the UK. Last year, we incorporated Naish One design racing and Junior racing. Our aim is to be inclusive to all paddlers, despite their age and ability. We are now in our third year and last year had over 300 paddlers racing throughout the season.
I believe the future of the sport is in children and that is what we should strive to nurture over the next few years. As for my personal paddling, I want to just have fun.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas remained firm at No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll released on Monday.
Arkansas finished 3-1 last week with a midweek win over Grambling State in North Little Rock and series win against South Carolina by shutting out the Gamecocks in both games of Saturday's doubleheader.
The Razorbacks vaulted five spots — the biggest jump among teams in the top 15 — to No. 3 in last week's poll after a sweep of Auburn at Baum Stadium. It was Arkansas' highest ranking in the poll this season.
Arkansas will carry its ranking into a highly anticipated game against Missouri State on Tuesday. Missouri State, which enters on a three-game losing streak, eliminated the Razorbacks in the Fayetteville Regional last June. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network+.
Arkansas will travel to Mississippi State (19-18, 5-10 SEC) for a weekend series to cap the week.
Other SEC teams in the poll include Florida (No. 1), Ole Miss (7), Kentucky (9), Vanderbilt (12), Texas A&M (14), Georgia (19), LSU (21) and Auburn (25).
Teams ranked ahead of Arkansas — Florida and Stanford — went a combined 8-0 last week. Florida earned a midweek win over Florida State and weekend sweep of Missouri. The Cardinal defeated UC Davis 7-2 on Tuesday and swept Arizona State at home.

This term we examined Nostoc around the transformer in front of the LRC on the previous Thursday.
After a quick role and passing out syllabi to students who had been absent day one, the class was out the door by 15:38. Backpacks were stored in the supply closet for security.
Tuesday the class looked at moss on a nearby tree that also featured two types of lichens.
On the way to the trailhead the class stopped to examine Psilotum nudum located just to the south of the agriculture building in a hidden valley. This was a new addition to the hike spring 2009.
Up along the ridgeline
The class stopped on the ridgeline to view the lycopodium Lycopodiella cernua and the sun-loving fern Dicranopteris linearis. Lycopodium is a member of the division Lycopodiophyta, the ferns are members of division Pteridophyta.
Tyson Elias, Mayleen Dungawin, among other students.
The rest of the class catching up along the ridgeline.
The class then paused at the top of the steep slope where Nephrolepis spp. and Thelypteris maemonensis were observed and discussed. Local uses and meanings of these plants was also discussed, along with names in the local languages. The local names for Microsorum scolopendria, its use as a mwarmwar, and the function the plant had as a mwarmwar in protecting the dancer from soumwahuen eni were covered. A plant known locally as marekenleng was located on a tree, this plant is currently listed in the virtual herbarium as Asplenium polyodon. Also found atop the steep slope was Davallia solida (ulung en kieil). The term devolution was introduced as meaning a loss of language and of culture. Asplenium nidus was encountered as we descended the slope.
Clambering down the slippery muddy slope, I located Vittaria on trees part-way down the slope.
Down in the forest I again found the epiphyte Huperzia phlegmaria. This term I did not locate the Psilotum complanatum, but I did find the Humata banksii on a different tree from the Huperzia phlegmaria. H. phlegmaria, however, appeared to be growing well both low and high on a tree off to the left. The mahrek en leng was still present both on the slope and in the valley.
Mayleen and Roxcindelina
Father along the trail the class observed Cyathea nigricans.
Maybeline Apwong
I then took the class down to the river and up to the Antrophyum plantagineum. We reached the A. plantagineum around 16:40. No one said that they knew its name, no one indicated that they had seen this fern before. I then took role and dismissed the class.

The fourth and final tunnel for Sydney's northwest train link has been completed.
A boring machine has cracked a tunnel at Cherrybrook Station on Thursday, making way for the rail line between Rouse Hill and Epping. The 36km line will run trains every four minutes during peak hour, or 15 trains an hour.
Work on the train line, which will include eight new stations, has been completed ahead of schedule said NSW Premier Mike Baird.
"(It's) a great opportunity for people to improve the quality of their lives in the northwest," he told reporters at Cherrybrook Station, which is due to open in the first half of 2019.

The Neighborhood Gardener – March
Happy gardening!
School Garden Wins Award of Excellence for Bay County
The Florida Master Gardener Award of Excellence for Service to 4-H and/or Other Youth recognizes volunteers who make outstanding contributions to youth through horticulture. The 2015 award went to the UF/IFAS Extension Bay County Master Gardeners, for their work as part of a community-wide partnership to develop and maintain a horticultural therapy garden at Margaret K. Lewis School for children with disabilities. More
Hummingbird Feeders
While the best source of food for hummingbirds is one of the many nectar-producing plants they love, a hummingbird feeder can be a great way to provide extra sustenance to these fast-moving little birds. Hummingbirds need to eat a third to half of their body weight each day in order to keep those rapidly beating wings moving. When looking for a hummingbird feeder, choose one in red plastic with multiple feeding stations, and only put an unaltered sugar and water solution—no dye—into the feeder. More
Wendy's Wanderings
As a gardener, I am always looking for inspiration for what to plant next. I'm constantly on the lookout for fresh plant varieties, fresh plant combinations, new ways of growing plants, and new ways of communicating with people about plants. When it is spring, I look forward to attending the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World. Their world-class horticulturalists plan far in advance to blow gardeners' boots off and this year is no exception. The theme is "Epcot Fresh" and there are plenty of fresh ideas there to inspire you. More
Think of olive trees and you may think of the Mediterranean, but did you know that you can grow olives in Florida? If you're looking for something different, an olive tree may be a great choice. Grown in small numbers here for years, commercial production of olives in Florida is still new and subject to ongoing research. While not suitable for consumption right off the tree, olives can be cured and eaten, or pressed for oil, and the tree's silvery foliage makes it an attractive addition to the landscape. More
Plant of the Month: Trumpet Trees
Trumpet trees are loved for their dazzling display of blossoms that burst forth ahead of their leaves in spring. The common name refers to the elongated flowers that resemble trumpets; depending on the tree, the flowers can be white, yellow, pink or even lavender. Traditionally known as Tabebuia, some of these trees are now recognized with a different botanical name. These Florida-friendly plants grow best in full sun and make a stunning addition to landscapes in Central and South Florida. More
March in Your Garden
We're heading into spring, which is a great time to try a vegetable garden. Warm season crops can be planted this month throughout the state, like corn, pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes.
For more month-by-month gardening tips, check out the Florida Gardening Calendar. Three different editions of the calendar provide specific tips for each of Florida's gardening regions—North, Central, and South.
Zika Mosquito Update
Zika has been getting a lot of attention in the media recently, as outbreaks of this mosquito-transmitted virus become evermore present in Central and South America. While much is still unknown about the Zika virus, one thing is for sure—limiting mosquito habitats and preventing bites are important precautions in mosquito-prone climates like Florida's. More
What's Going On?
If your Master Gardener program or Extension office is having an event, be sure to share it with us.

Excerpt: "Lord Bai's Discovery"
Lord Bai crossed his arms over his broad scaled chest and shook his head.
"It's against my religion."
Old Lao's eyebrows pushed the wrinkles on his forehead to the crown of his head. "Since when did you become a Buddhist? And what path permits you to eat an ox and not a horse?"
"Not Buddhist—Jewish," the dragon lied. "It's very common where I come from."
"And where is that, exactly?"
The dragon looped his tail in a vague westerly arc. "Very common," he repeated.

One powerful throw two years ago can be attributed to Nashawn Dingle being a state championship contender this season.
The Jay M. Robinson shot-putter was a Cinderella story when he beat his previous mark by three feet and finished fourth at the 4A state high school meet as a sophomore.
Now a senior, Dingle's throw of 54 feet at A.L. Brown on April 7 ranks him among the top shot-putters in the state. That's impressive, considering that he never competed in track and field until two years ago.
Dingle says he didn't even know what a shot put was when he attended Northwest Cabarrus Middle and then Northwest Cabarrus High as a freshman. All he knew was football, which in fact was why he joined Robinson's track and field team as a sophomore after transferring to the school.

He played varsity football for the Bulldogs in 10th grade and took the advice of some of his coaches when they told him that track and field would keep him in football shape.
Initially, Dingle was a sprinter for all of two meets before he realized the competition in 4A was too much for him to handle. He became curious about the shot put and asked his track and field coaches if that could be his event.
"(Assistant) coach (Lewis) Hoban said 'You might not make it because it's heavy and you have to throw it a certain distance,'" said Dingle.
But throwing is what Dingle wanted to do. He was a steady competitor despite not being as developed as the upperclassmen of the ME-CA 7 4A Conference that he was competing against.
He didn't have high expectations for himself entering the 4A Midwest regional meet that year. Dingle's heave of 45 feet, 8 inches was good enough for fourth place and a spot in the state meet.
Listening to the direction of Robinson head Coach Ricky Hedden, Dingle approached his first throw at the state meet like his life depended on it. He pushed it 50 feet, 7 inches - almost five feet farther than his regional throw.
"Everyone was counting on me," said Dingle. "It was my first time at states, and I just put all my power in the shot and everyone was shocked."
Hedden admits he was surprised.
"I'm like, 'What just happened? Is that really where I think it is?'" he said.
When Robinson's classification was realigned in 2009-10, Dingle was on his way to being one of the top 3A contenders. He was also adapting to the discus too, mostly teaching himself an undisciplined technique.
However, Dingle's junior season came to an end when he was removed from the team for disciplinary reasons. He did not compete in the regional and state meets.
"I took it very seriously," said Dingle. "Last year I let the whole team down. I think the team would have finished first place in the regionals if I would have went. I probably would have gotten first place because the guy that won threw 49 (feet) and I was throwing in the 50s."
Having another opportunity, Dingle is looking to help his team.
A couple of his teammates this year are also being counted on heavily. Senior Jordan Larson has shaved off almost 10 seconds in his 800-meter time and classmate Dominique Bellamy is carrying the load for the sprinters, while specializing in the 100 meters.
Dingle is back throwing in the 50s again this year. He broke his own school record in March at a meet at Mount Pleasant, and broke it again at A.L. Brown two weeks ago.
Dingle is looking forward to making a statement at the regional meet on May 7 and 9 and at the state meet on May 13.
After that, he hopes to play football in junior college.

Did you know I grew up in a really small town that was once dubbed the backyard of Australia?
It was the national newspaper that said that many years ago and I really didn't understand what it meant until I sat next to my Dan as we drove along the beautiful Australian coast. The Great Ocean Road is famous for breathtaking views!
"Oh my God…" I must've muttered those words over and over again like some mad woman. How can I not when looking at the views reminded me of my childhood? I got some serious goose bumps going on, people!
Seeing the houses up by the hills, everything…it reminded me of the mining town my parents used to live.
Now I know why the place was called the backyard of Australia.
I mean, c'mon people look at these pictures!
In a way seeing those houses felt like symbols that I feel at home with him.
At ease…
It's in little moments like this one where we passed an indoor swimming pool and stopped.
"Look…look…look at that little brave one!" He pointed towards the little boy who ran and dunk into the pool.
My heart aches a little because I miss my little rascal back home. He would've loved a heated swimming pool.
We laughed and enjoyed watching the two energetic little boys by the pool and as in on cue; we both noticed the little family.
The mother held her baby girl and let her go…I held my breath for a nanosecond. The baby girl swam to the father nearby who proudly welcome her into his hands.
Dan must have known I was watching that little family when I felt his arms around my waist pulled me a little closer into his chest. He tightens his hold of me and my heart let go of a little sigh.
"Beautiful isn't?" He whispered.
"Yes…" I fought back tears as we continue watching that little family. Now the father lifts the baby and throws her up in the air. She laughed, her parents laughed too. My heart aches. That is a family. I blame my Pisces-ness but just a view of a happy family brought me to tears. How long have I been doing the single parent thing, again? Long enough to brought a pang seeing such a happy little family.
We were both quiet and just soaking it all in. I don't know how long we stood there but his warm embrace made me happy he appreciates those little moments. Family is important for me.
We were surrounded by little kids the whole time…we met cute children everywhere we went to.
Just like in that one morning during breakfast. He was getting some bread for us; I got myself some juice. Orange juice for me, tomato juice for him.
That's when I noticed a small boy, a little younger than my Alex. He was eager to get some muffins and he stood behind Dan. The mother told the boy to take his turn.
Dan got down to the little boy's level. "Here you go…" he handed the little boy a thong to get the bread with a smile that truly melt my heart. The thing is I don't think he even realized I was watching. The little boy said thank you and my chest felt suffocated with love.
Being a single mother, I am more aware of how men treated little children and he's been amazing with those little children we ran into in Lorne. Call it mommy radar, but if a man is rude to little kids or complained about them too much, I can assure you they are not ready to date someone with kid(s).
Dan has been amazing with my boy but to see him treating other kids with gentle kindness really pulled on my heart strings and assured me that he really have a gentle soul. I can't wait to see him together with Alex.
I guess it's in those little moments I realized I fall more deeply in love with this man and I am so grateful for everything that has lead me to this moment. To this amazing love and connection are share.
My heart sing beautiful love songs…

This has resulted in an increase in the frequency of our playtest sessions. There are currently several weapons (only categorized as "assault", "sniper", "smg", "shotgun", and "handgun" for now until we need more granularity below the type class) that we've performed passes on and it's great to see their individual characteristics begin to take shape. As an example, our shotgun is currently gaining frequent praise amongst the team members.
A significant percentage has to do with Christian's pass but we've applied new temp audio as well. The combination of these two updates makes for the "shotty" as a fun, albeit risky, weapon to bring into a mission. The audio update also demonstrates a very clear example of how critical audio is as it directly contributes to the overall feel of the game.
Audio in the house!
Last, week, Christian and Kristoffer Larson, our Audio Director, headed out to Eastern Washington to scout a possible location for our weapons audio shoot. Because authenticity is so important to this title, we have made the decision to record new audio effects rather than purchasing or creating a "hollywood" audio package like many games do. However, recording gun audio isn't as simple as taking a microphone to your local gun range. Location has a huge effect on the quality of the base audio that will be processed for use in the final game. Kristoffer and Christian spent an entire afternoon testing different spots in the location, and will test those against another location in Western Washington in the coming weeks. Once the location is finalized, the team will arm up and head out for a one or two day weapons shoot (the final shoot will involve much more audio equipment than you see in these test photos).
For the location test, we used a DPMS AR-15, with a CMMG 16.5" upper firing SS109 62g 5.56x45mm.
Here are some photos from the scout:

Cutting Paani with a pinch of Salt
Everyone would unanimously agree today that the need for saving water is no longer an option, it's our responsibility towards the generations scheduled to arrive in our planet in the future. When we say generations, it is not limited to a specific race, species or lifeform. The earth belongs to all.
Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. There is however, another dimension to this old sayings…Life is also a balance between what we should try to control and what we shouldn't.
While any idea to conserve water, #CuttingPani, is potentially a noble initiative, we should interrogate it with all seriousness to make sure that it would not send wrong signal. Inadequate consumption of water will have negative implications leaving the world with a generation of dehydrated people, quite similar to the anorexic population of today.
Our bodies are made up of about 60% water, more or less and constantly loses water through its excretory system. This needs to be compensated and the commonly recommended quantity is eight 8-ounce glasses per day amounting to about 2 liters. Not many of us reach this target on regular basis and some health gurus are of the opinion that majority of the population are on the brink of dehydration.
The other extreme of this spectrum is "water intoxication", which occurs due to excessive water intake resulting into abnormal brain function and could be fatal in extreme cases. Although not as common, when it takes place, the excess water dilutes blood sodium levels and causes fluids to move inside cells, which then swell producing potentially life-threatening effects.
I believe, the message transmitted upfront need to focus on drinking more water while the appeal for "drinking water conservation" remains subtle. Restaurants and businesses could start using smaller glasses allowing people to ask for a second helping if they are very thirsty. That way we do not propagate the message of "Drink less and Save more".
Few odd ideas for conservation of water usage from various aspects of our daily chores could be as follows. All of these without touching the drinking water segment and avoiding a wrong psychological message:
There has been no significant development in the way we wash our clothes ever since washing of clothes has been in practice.
Making washing machine more water efficient is one way but there could also be machines that washes using microwave technology. One need to take on the mighty soap lobby to succeed though.
We could also develop clothes that doesn't catch dirt. We should be able to brush it clean like most animals does. After all our apparels are supposed to be second skin.
Could we not develop utensils that repels grease so that it needs little or no water to clean them?
Can we not make grease trap mandatory in our houses and not limit those to restaurant kitchens.
Our bathtubs could come with dedicated meters built into its body that would measure every time it was filled and charge us at a higher rate.
Why can we not make the tap water potable and ensure that the plumbing network is sanitized regularly so that we do not hesitate before drinking.
We can also make technology less expensive so that we could use pneumatic waste clearance technology in our WC so that the demand of water is minimized.
We need to plant more trees as this is the only way to produce more water.
Let's have #cuttingpaani with a pinch of salt.
I just signed the petition, "#CuttingPaani" initiated by #Livpure. I think this is important us and the coming generations. Will you sign it too?

What a Privacy Activist Turned Top White House Adviser Thinks About Cybersecurity
One-time civil liberties activist now forges compromises between government and industry on network security and surveillance activities.
In 2011, Nextgov spotlighted a handful of "emerging leaders" -- including Ari Schwartz, then the first-ever Internet policy adviser for the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
Today, Schwartz, 43, is no longer emerging. He has emerged.
Schwartz, who hails from the world of privacy activism, is now the White House senior director for cybersecurity. During the heat of the anti-surveillance movement, he was placed on the White House National Security Council staff to instill civil liberties into cybersecurity and signals intelligence policies.
Before taking the White House gig, Schwartz advised three Commerce Department secretaries on, among other tech issues, how to develop voluntary cyber standards in accordance with a landmark executive order.
He recently spoke with Nextgov about negotiating with operatives, the growing number of privacy-conscious citizens and his smartphone-craving children.
Civil Liberties Group: We Need More People Like Schwartz
First off, know that Schwartz's former colleagues at the Center for Democracy and Technology civil liberties group do not give give him a hard time about working with government snoops.
"They've never referred to me as 'the spy,'" he said.
They hardly see joining the federal government as going to the dark side. In fact, they view it as a benefit.
"I think that we absolutely need to have people like Ari Schwartz, who do care about privacy and who do care about due process and in protecting civil liberties, in positions where they are able to translate that passion and that respect for human rights into the way the government does business," said Harley Geiger, senior counsel at CDT. "There should not be a purity test for this. What matters in the end is what you are advocating for, what you stand for and what you are pushing."
Schwartz said he enjoys it when old co-workers call to get the inside word.
"If they hear a rumor, they'll call me up. If it's something that I can talk about, I will give them some details," Schwartz said. "I think that's really one of the worst things that happens in Washington -- when something gets reported or [comes out] through the rumor mill, and they hear the worst of it first, rather than hearing it from the people who are trying to put it together. So we try to reach out to people pretty early in the process."
One former colleague counts Schwartz' candor as crucial to good government.
Jim Dempsey, also a senior counsel at the center, said: "The key thing about Ari, like the best public servants, is that he combines a passion for the issues, a commitment to the administration and the government he serves, and absolute honesty. You know he is fighting for privacy and other values, and you know he will never mislead you."
Schwartz on Data Collection: I'm Just a Citizen
As a father and public figure, Schwartz perhaps is more conscious than ever before of the need for privacy.
"I have a family and I have kids, and I think of a lot of things in my personal life -- relating to my children -- as being very private and personal. It concerns me if information like that were to get out," he said. And "I think communications -- when taken out of context -- often can raise a lot of concerns, so I do worry about what companies and what the government does with communications and making sure that it is used properly and that personal privacy is being protected."
His kids aren't subject to the type of call or Internet monitoring that has engulfed the Obama administration in controversy -- but Schwartz is. His 7-year-old and 10-year-old don't have smartphones and aren't on Facebook yet.
"They have iPods," he said. The 10-year-old complains, "Everyone has a phone," except for him.
However, Schwartz acknowledges communications could be swept up in some of the government's signals intelligence activities.
"I'm a citizen just like everyone else. It depends on what type of collection it is," he said.
Obama on Jan. 17 announced a directive to hone data collections. Under the guidance, "we have these areas where bulk data still can be collected. They are a very limited set of areas. I think it would exclude many of my communications and other private citizens' communications, but I don't think it completely rules that out. It's not out of the question at all."
Cyber Framework a Key Accomplishment
Schwartz said he takes exceptional pride in the creation of voluntary cyber standards for hospitals, power companies and other life-critical U.S. industries.
"Everywhere I go, people thank me for the work we did on the cybersecurity framework and how it got better over time: The trust from the private sector to keep it voluntary; from the privacy groups, we hear that they are glad we were able to keep the Fair Information Practice Principles in the document despite the heavy pressure that we got from industry on that," he said.
"When you start to see announcements related to and around cyber insurance, that's pretty fulfilling because that was the original goal, to build it into the marketplace without a regulatory effort. Just like [with the proviso] 'Do you have smoke alarms?' for fire insurance, which is built into most regular business policies."
The business community, for the most part, seems grateful for the compromise Schwartz helped forge.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called the framework "a remarkable success" last month.
"The Chamber, sector-based coordinating councils and associations, companies and other private and public entities collaborated closely with NIST in developing the framework," Ann M. Beauchesne, vice president of the Chamber's National Security and Emergency Preparedness Department, wrote in an Oct. 10 letter to NIST officials.
She specifically cited Schwartz and his efforts to translate the paper rubric into actionable steps.
Schwartz recently remarked industry support for the framework has "exceeded expectations." That recognition "is constructive and helps keep the private sector engaged in using the framework and promoting it with business partners," Beauchesne said.
Threat-Sharing Still Lags
Still, some companies take issue with the administration's policies on exchanging tips about cyber threats.
"The information-sharing discussion puts too little emphasis on improving government-to-business sharing. The Chamber wants to expand government-to-business information sharing, which is progressing but needs improvement," Beauchesne said.
As an example, she pointed to a recent unfavorable inspector general report that found, as of July, only three of 16 key industries – energy, communications and defense – were using a service that shares classified cyberthreat intelligence.
While the number of participating sectors has risen to eight, it is unclear how many firms within those categories have signed up.
Schwartz's former bosses at Commerce confirm Schwartz was instrumental in the final cyber concessions, as well as other policy formulations, such as a green paper on digital copyright policy issues.
"Ari's work on cybersecurity stands out in particular, because of his ability to build bridges between different stakeholders and drive consensus," Commerce Deputy Secretary Bruce Andrews told Nextgov.

In the spirit of saying yes to new things and doing things that scare me, I made a spur of the moment decision to cut all of my hair off this weekend. I've been wanting to get a pixie cut since last summer, but I care too much about what people think about me. I didn't want people to judge me. I didn't want to look like a boy. I didn't want boys to think I'm ugly because of my hair. (blah blah blah, whine a little bit more, right?) So Friday morning I walked into the salon and told my hairstylist that I wanted to chop it all off but I was scared. The reaction of the entire salon (it had been snowing and no other clients were there) was "Go for it! You'll look great with short hair!" So out came the razor blade and off went the curls.
Those pictures are all within the past 12 months. I get bored with my hair easily – it's not a crime. Now I go through a slight "Oh my gosh, what did I do?!" moment every day, but my short hair is growing on me (ha! pun intended). It's a little funky and fierce – but I don't think it's going to stay like this for long. (I should not have found that picture of my curly hair – I miss it!)
Here's to doing new and daring things in 2013!

YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley used the words "clip culture" to describe the community that developed around his video sharing website. YouTube's visitors originally watched short clips instead of long form entertainment.
Now pastors can upload entire sermons to the website but it is still the short sermon clip that gets the most attention. Christians re-post inspiring quotes often with subtitles to share the Gospel message.
Twitter user @momentumnight made this video featuring a clip of Pastor Matt Chandler talking about how we cannot fix ourselves. "You can't resurrect anything. Christ can. That's the good news."
While listening to this video, the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 1:18 came to mind: "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
Is this "power of God" at work in you?

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan recently took to Twitter to entice Tamil and Telugu cinema lovers in a very interesting way. The 42-year-old star unveiled the new language posters of his upcoming film 'Kaabil'.
Interestingly, these new posters flaunt the updated release date of 'Kaabil'. Earlier, the Sanjay Gupta directorial was supposed to release on January 26 next year. Now, it is being said that the flick will be released a day earlier – January 25, 2017 – to avoid a Box Office clash with superstar Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Raees'.
It is also reported that 'Kaabil' will have a simultaneous release in Telugu too.
The film will be dubbed and released in Telugu because of Hrithik's huge fan base in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, read a statement issued on behalf of the movie's makers.
Get ready to experience the power of LOVE. on 25th Jan. Presenting #KaabilTamilPoster @FilmKRAFTfilms pic.twitter.com/TrzJA1oe3O

In what could spell the end of smudges and marks on touchscreens, experts have created a display that shows icons in mid-air.
But while traditional holograms are typically inanimate, these images are interactive, meaning they can be touched, pressed and moved – all while floating above the ground.
Called HaptoMime, the system uses an imaging plate to transform an original image into a floating one, while infrared sensors tracks the position of fingers and an ultrasound machine creates tactile feedback.
The system was developed by Yasuaki Monnai and his team at the Shinoda-Makino Lab, University of Tokyo.
An LCD display generates an original image, which is then beamed onto an Aerial Imaging Plate (AIP).
This plate reflects the original image into a floating one.
Any object or image placed behind this plate appears at the symmetric position in mid-air.
To track the finger movements, the system is surrounded by an infrared touch sensor frame that monitors the positions of each digit, and the hand.
When a person 'touches' the floating image, an Ultrasound Phased Array Transducer creates the feeling of tactile feedback on the user's finger.
This transducer produces a so-called 'reconfigurable ultrasound focus', which exerts a force remotely.
And this force can be redirected by ultrasonic reflection to be merged with floating images to change the pressure or sensation.
The system can also recognise multiple touches, meaning people can play a virtual piano, for example.
It could be used to stop the spread of bacteria and germs on touchscreens, to enter PINs on ATMs, for example, or browse the web with wet hands.
The technology was presented at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST) in Hawaii.
'The dream of interacting with mid-air projected 3D images has fascinated people and driven a variety of relevant research,' explained the researchers.
'Although its practical implementation is still challenging, a breakthrough of 2D mid-air projection has been attained recently by the invention of a transmissive mirror.
'It allows us to observe a screen floating in front of the mirror which is actually placed behind the mirror.
'Since all the visual effects such as binocular parallax and motion parallax are inherited to the floating screen, we cannot distinguish it from a real screen until we touch it.
'Combined with a sensor that detects our finger motion, [HaptoMime] can be used as a virtual touch screen.'

Staying in any town for too long was never a good plan, but she'd really taken to the Chens. She didn't relish the possibility of never seeing them again. Mrs. Chen had taught her how to fold dumplings so the papery skins resembled tiny kites and Mr. Chen had become an unexpected confidant. The minor criminal tendencies that lured him to the card table enabled him to accept, if not admire, her larger transgressions. Their daily conversations about Mrs. Chen's cardiovascular health and the gossip they shared about the other tenants had provided an endearing constancy. It had been some time since she'd stayed in a city long enough to learn her way around, let alone make an acquaintance. Friendship was rare, a gem she unearthed when the Chinese immigrant lobbed questions at her every time he found her creeping down the hallway.
It might be several years before Birdie risked another friendship. By necessity, a thief avoided the gummy substance of relationships. Familiarity was dangerous leverage in an alliance if one member made her living slipping wallets from pant pockets and lifting bills from unattended purses. The threat of prison time plagued her and she'd tried to go legal.
Learning the knack was impossible.

The tea cups shown here have the "three friends of winter" design, or the combination of pine, bamboo and plum, a traditional pattern symbolizing longevity, prosperity and happiness, respectively. The designs are painted in between the traditional green and red Kutani patterns.
They are for drinking Japanese tea, but of course are beautiful just to look at.

Snowmobiling in the Houston Area
Outdoor enthusiasts will find that winter is just barely long enough around Houston. There's so much to do when the environment changes from autumn's glory to winter's picturesque cloak of snow and ice.
Houston is home to some incredible high elevation and meadow sledding opportunities. Houston lies in the shadows of the coastal mountains offering the Houston area a mild winter climate and generous amounts of snow. Houston receives approximately 160 centimetres of snow annually, with the average winter temperature of -12.7 Celsius when you add those two statistics together you get an abundance of dry northern white gold! With Houston surrounded by pristine wilderness and stellar snow conditions it becomes any winter outdoor recreationist paradise and a prime destination for snowmobiling offering mountain riding, deep powder and forests to explore, no matter what type of terrain you prefer, all minutes from town. It's no wonder that Houston was awarded 2016 Favorite Sled Town in Western Canada from SnoRider Magazine!
Houston's snowmobiling season usually starts in November and runs until late spring. The Houston Snowmobile Club maintains four different riding areas including Dungate Meadows, Telkwa Range, Morice Mountain, and the Rhine Ridge/Sibolas zones. The Houston Snowmobile Club has approximately 200km of maintained trails in Telkwa Range and Dungate Meadows areas, and has cabins available for visitors to use in the Telkwa Range, Rhine Ridge/Sibolas, and Dungate Meadows areas. The club asks visitors to obey a few simply rules for everyone's safety.
Please read and follow signs in all areas, if you encounter wildlife in any area please leave the area and notify anyone else you may meet going in.
Please pack out your garbage. Remember to go out prepared and come home safe and may your days ride be a memorable one.
Morice Mountain
The scenery at Morice Mountain is breath taking. Located 28km from Houston, it represents a nice ride in a mountain setting. Morice Mountain is an ungroomed area that offers a mixture of alpine terrain, suitable for both novice and advanced riders, there are several hills to play on and open meadows to lay tracks in.

Dungate Meadows
Perfect for families and beginners, the Dungate Meadows area offers low-angle riding with an extensive trail system that is groomed from the staging area to the Houston Snowmobiling Club cabin that is open for everyone to enjoy and is well-stocked with firewood. The Dungate Meadows area is a good option for those days when visibility is low or avalanche hazards are high. If you enjoy ice fishing just follow the trail to the end of the meadows to discover small lakes at each end (Hanna and Poison Lake).
Starting from the Houston Tourist Information building head east of Houston on Highway 16. Head east and turn right on Butler Ave., drive until you reach Omineca Way, turn right.

From the trailhead, it is an 11-kilometre ride on a groomed trail to the club's cabin where beginners and families can do some exploring. Beyond the cabin, experienced riders will find steep hills to climb and other, more advanced terrain features to tackle.
Large groups tend to make it a day-long destination because of its wide range of terrain—groomed trails, and the cabin that is available to visitors. This is a caribou recovery area so some restrictions may apply. Please read the signs.
From the Houston Visitor Centre travel west on Hwy.16
At 4.1km turn left onto the Morice River FSR

Tableland Mountain:
Tableland Mountain is for experienced riders who are up for real adventure. It is a one-hour drive from Houston to Tableland Mountain. The terrain flows from meadows to hills and typical mountain conditions, and riders should be skilled in avalanche awareness. Locals recommend hitting Tableland Mountain in the spring, from mid-January to March. There are no groomed trails in the area so it would be wise to accompany someone who is familiar with the area.

Sibolas/Rhine Ridge:
The Sibolas and Rhine Ridge areas consist of three mountain ranges about 101 kilometres to the south of Houston, This area is ungroomed, but if you're an intermediate to expert rider who is looking for deep snow and mountains and valleys that seem to go on forever, it's well worth the drive.
Many people head to this area in the spring, when the longer light of day makes a full day of riding hills, meadows and the alpine all the more enjoyable. This area can get 3 feet of snow in an overnight storm, making it worth ones time. Watch for drop-offs and cliffs when cresting the hills, and get ready for the views of a lifetime.
The Houston Snowmobile Club usually breaks trail in December. There are few marked trails, so heading out as a group and with a local rider is recommended. There are club-maintained cabins in both areas.

- #TaytoParkChallenge
6th November
If you've been a visitor to Tayto Park, then you might have been lucky enough to hear some of the many sounds that echo throughout our Zoo! Some of our keepers' favourites include the trumpeting of our majestic Japanese red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) as they call in unison during mating season. Or the deep guttural call of our Amur leopards (Panthera pardus orientalis) which makes anyone stop in their tracks! Even the sound of a sudden rustling of quills from our Cape porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis) helps add to our experience while visiting the Zoo in Tayto Park.
Our keepers and visitors alike have recently been treated to a marvellous chorus of loud chirps and shrieks from our most recent addition, black-cheeked lovebirds! When looking at lovebirds, you can't help but smile - this small, colourful species is a much-welcomed addition to our Zoo. Arriving late one evening in October, having travelled from a zoo in Denmark, 20 individuals got accustomed to their new habitat at Tayto Park. Keepers worked hard in preparation for their arrival with a new specially formulated diet was sourced, new substrate added, and the enclosure fitted with perches that were just right for their small grip. The team also added fresh planting and grass to help them settle into their new surroundings.
Black-cheeked lovebirds (Agapornis nigrigenis) are a small species of parrot, native to Zambia in Africa. They have amazing colouration with a bright green body, red bill, dark brown head and neck and a spot of orange on their throat feathers. However, this beauty comes at a price! For four decades from 1920's, numbers in the wild have reduced dramatically due to illegal trapping of wild individuals for the pet trade. Thankfully, trapping of birds is now banned in their native country.
Unfortunately, the survival of this species still remains a concern for conservationists and wildlife lovers. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists black-cheeked lovebirds as Vulnerable due to population numbers in the wild continuing to decline rapidly. Water is essential for all animals, with black-cheeked lovebirds needing daily access to water sources. Reduced annual rainfall, possibly owing to climate change, has meant that many water bodies have dried up resulting in a smaller range of suitable habitat.
Keepers in Tayto Park zoo, however, choose to remain positive and optimistic for the future of these joyful birds. Every one of us can play a vital role in helping to reduce the effects of climate change and we will continue to educate visitors about the conservation issues facing black-cheeked lovebirds and many of the species in our zoo – but will do so with a new accompanying soundtrack!
We hope you enjoy listening to all of nature's sounds as much as we do!

Deb's Valentine: Cat Project, Please
Our editors want to share the love this week in the name of St. Valentine. Here's Deb Gerish, editor of Love of Knitting, to tell us exactly where her heart lies. Hint: it has something to do with kitty.
I love cats, so much that I'm happy being called a crazy cat lady. There, I said it. Sometimes it's better not to live in denial.
I'm also a crazy yarn/fiber/textiles lady, devoting fully half my house to a studio and storage area for all my supplies. People often ask me how my cats and my yarn-based hobbies can coexist, since we all know how much kitties love yarn. Do they tangle up the yarn while I'm knitting? (Not often.) Do they bat at the needles? (No, because I use circulars.) Do they enjoy sleeping on sweaters during the blocking project? (Yes, unfortunately.) Do I like to knit cat sweaters? (No, because my cat-craziness hasn't overwhelmed my survival instincts.) Do I like to knit cat-related projects? (ABSOLUTELY.)
In fact, my queue always has more than one cat project in it:
Cat's Eye Tam, from knitscene Summer 2011
A hat that combines lace AND stranded colorwork! The Cat's Eye lace pattern is a personal fave, and then there's that band of Fair Isle colors just above the brim. I can make a hat that coordinates with one of my Fair Isle masterpieces, and it will use up leftover yarn at the same time. Wins all around!
CATalina Shawl, from knitscene Summer 2016
I'm pretty sure the name "Catalina" doesn't mean "pure" but instead refers to cats. Even if I'm stretching a point, though, this pattern makes a stunning shawl with an allover lace pattern.
Cat's Pajamas Jammy Keeper, from Knit & Crochet Toys 2017
This one's a twofer: I love the pattern AND I love the magazine! If you're not a cat person, there are plenty of other animal toys to love: platypus, jackalope, tiger, bears, chicken, rats, bunny, hippopotamus, sea star, seal. This Jammy Keeper stole my heart when I first saw the designer's sketch—it's adorable, huggable, and practical, with room for adult-sized jammies inside its pocket.
Cat Project? Yes!

I'm Tiffany.
You see my face often, as I was the very first Ooh La Frou Frou girl
and, as such, became the logo girl for the Collection.
Just scroll up ... yep, that's me standing in front of the mirror.
besides posing for very lovely cards,
I also get to spend time with the other Ooh La Frou Frou girls
and we have a blast!
We were just having coffee the other day in the city
and talking about how great it is to be meeting
all of you new Glamorous Girlfriends here on the blog!
a little Sparkle to my days.
Audrey Hepburn
One of the things that simply mesmerizes me
is how she took simple and made it fabulous.
Surely, people had worn gloves, sunglasses and pearls before Audrey.
Did anyone tell them they looked like a movie star? I doubt it.
And I ask myself how she did that.
Maybe that's what makes it so magical.
There was just something about Audrey.
She sparkled.
And there's just something about you. And me.
We sparkle.
More on some days than others.
And discovering our own style can be a fun thing.
In the meantime ...
I get so much pleasure from studying
the iconic style that Audrey and Givenchy created
that I sometimes enjoy trying a little of "her" on ... just for fun.
Notice the tiara in the logo?
And for the card below ...
(entitled "Glamour Girls," quite appropriately, don't you think?)
I went full-blast into
Audrey mode from Breakfast at Tiffany's
for a fun shopping trip with the girls.
|Ooh La Frou Frou Collection card for the bride-to-be entitled "Glamour Girls." Card is embellished with clear glitter and the message inside reads: "Glamour Girls ... that's who my bridesmaids are!" (The Ooh La Frou Frou girls starring on this card are (left to right) Alex, Tiffany, Hope, Sunny and Aimee.) (c) Ooh La Frou Frou 2010. To purchase cards go to the Ooh La Frou Frou website.
Ballet Flats
Wrist Length White Gloves
(Wedding Gown thrown in just because it's so beautiful!)
and pearls
and scoop my hair into a french twist with a little whisp of bang
and head off for Tiffany and Company.
I'm all about simple celebrations.

and saving to make them come true
is a worthwhile endeavor.
For me ... it's Tiffany.
And as soon as I purchase the little
dream-come-true in a tiffany blue bag
that I've been saving for,
is a little something from the new
Tiffany Leather Collection.
I just haven't decided which one will be first.

Get excited folks – reddit has launched a mobile app for its popular AMA (Ask Me Anything) section. The Q&A style of the AMAs are sometimes difficult to read with the outpouring of user-submitted questions being introduced, voted up and more. It can become overwhelming, even for the most avid readers of the section. This new app will streamline the process and make it easier to read, while being able to filter through different topics that the AMAs fall under.
"We want to make it easier for new users to join reddit and experience all the awesome content," Reddit Senior VP Ellen Pao told Variety. "That's part of the overall goal of becoming a more mature company."
While this isn't the first attempt by the company to get into the mobile app game (reddit launched one in 2011 but failed to gain downloads after complaints about the app glitching), it does show that reddit is addressing where new users are coming from – mobile. In August, 40% of new users of the site came from mobile, which is five times more than it was three years ago.
This also mirrors a trend of mobile usage rising. People are spending more time consuming content on their smartphones than ever before. In 2013, mobile internet surpassed desktop use and there's no sign of it slowing down. Mobile website traffic across all industries is growing by 3.5% per month. Also, 61% of people have a better opinion of brands when they offer a good mobile experience and brands are taking note of this.
In a study by the Mobile Marketing Association and IHS Global Insight, it is projected that brand spending on mobile marketing will reach close to $20 billion by 2015, also with no sign of decreasing as time goes on.
Within reddit, Nissan is one brand that has found success with native advertising on reddit, albeit not within the AMA section, but elsewhere on the site. They hosted a thread, in partnership with Amazon, that asked users to post their favorite things from Amazon, which resulted in Nissan delivering a car via Amazon and a photo of the car in an Amazon branded box to be No.1 on reddit's front page. That's a huge deal for any brand.
So what does this all mean for reddit and brands? Our take is that although reddit has had issues monetizing its platform for native advertising in the past, it's definitely taking a positive step forward now to appease users and incorporate appropriate brand usage – within the platform and within the booming mobile marketing industry. For brands, it means they can get into the AMA space by empowering their employees to speak about a unique aspect of the brand. For example, there are many NASA threads from employees talking about their jobs, from the engineers and scientists working on the Mars Curiosity Rover Mission to an Aerospace Engineer who worked on different aspects for the space shuttles, like designing toilets. Both are unique aspects about working for NASA that garnered a lot of questions and attention, and make the brand and its employees rock stars.
