It is often said that communication is the key.
Giving the community a brief overview of the financial situation in which the Wayland-Cohocton School District is facing, presenting some of its current plans and listening to the community and answering their questions was the focus of the district's more than hour-long community forum Monday.
In anticipation of an on-time state budget with minimal increases recently proposed for educational aid, Superintendent Michael Wetherbee said he hopes to have exact numbers of the district's state aid figures soon.
As it stands at press time, Wayland-Cohocton, which is 72 percent dependent upon state aid, is looking at $2,609,591 less from the state for next year, resulting in a $2,158,341 budget to budget gap.
For WCCS?to make up its losses, the district would have to increase its taxes by 38.5 percent, or $6.09 per thousand dollars of assessed value. This is not an option the district is proposing.
"Our goal is to put a budget together that meets student needs. But there's the other side of the pendulum that we have to be concerned about – our local community's ability to afford that education," Wetherbee said.
He noted that salaries and benefits make up 75 percent of the budget, which means layoffs are inevitable.
Wetherbee restated last week's proposal of redistricting the Cohocton Elementary School boundary north to shift some Wayland Elementary students there to make up for teacher layoffs and even out class sizes.
This proposal would save the district nearly $370,000 with no additional busing required. Exact boundaries have not been determined yet.
With this, five retirements, a reduction of 10 additional full-time staff, cuts in the athletic department, an increase in fund balance and PILOT revenues, and the district is left with $335,417 to adjust.
The floor was then opened to the public.
Bob Hughes of Perkinsville asked about other rural districts across the state and if they are facing the same kinds of problems, which many are.
However, more affluent districts that are not as dependable on state aid are not seeing these types of cuts. Early in his presentation, Wetherbee compared districts with similar enrollment in Westchester, Nassau and other wealthy counties.
Those districts could make up their loss of state funds with between a one and seven percent tax increase.
Another topic brought up was the Cohocton rezoning proposal, which one parent said would be a burden if it were placed on her family. Wetherbee said he realizes this decision may not be popular with some, if not many parents, and he wished he was not in a position to have to recommend this proposal.
When asked about the possibility of closing the Cohocton school altogether, Wetherbee stated that the savings would be roughly $400,620, compared to the $370,000 for rezoning. However, he feels that the additional $30,000 to keep it open is worthwhile for the Cohocton community.
The $370,000 savings is through one-time layoffs that the district is not expecting to replace.
Making administrative cuts was another topic brought up by the public, which Wetherbee said, "People may not believe me, we are bare bones in administration."
When someone asked about what services, positions and programs are proposed to be cut specifically, Wetherbee said that information is not solidified, but will be presented at the next board meeting on April 11.
When asked about union negotiations, Wetherbee said none are up for renegotiations this year, but he has been in talks with the administrator's union regarding contractual concessions to help the district save money.
The teacher's union already said no to concessions.
When athletic costs were brought up, Wetherbee said there have been discussions of perhaps combining some teams countywide, which would impact the coaching budget. When asked about encouraging more volunteer coaches, it was said that increased state mandates are inadvertently discouraging people to volunteer coach rather than encouraging them.
Increasing class sizes and decreasing support staff was another concern raised. Wetherbee said he intends to place supports staff where most needed.
While other questions and concerns were raised, a solution was also posed. Wetherbee, the school board and parents agreed that the best solution is for community members to address state legislators and the governor about the effect the proposed state cuts have on economically struggling rural school districts and the state's inequitable distribution of funds.
A form is available on the school's website for writing to legislators.

Article written by Niels Chaneliere
This is part 1 of an epic 2 part story about Vieques Island, Puerto Rico…
It was mid-August, and after spending a few months apart, my girlfriend and I were looking for some quality R&R. She was in Paris, spending time with her family and travelling around Europe while I was in New York, living and working in Lower Manhattan for a menswear company in SOHO. Burnt out by the oppressive city life, we were looking for some tropical thalassotherapy.
We found some cheap tickets to Puerto Rico and a few weeks later, we were boarding to the Caribbean.
Torn between having an easygoing time and our sense of adventure, we mixed it up to incorporate a bit of both. We really struggle with all-inclusive vacations and like to travel at our own pace, avoiding crowds and groups at all costs.
Our idea of a vacation often starts around a conversation that gets us hyped up to go, so we sit around the computer for a few hours contemplating the possible options, tailoring our trip based on our preferences and budget, even though, most of the time we go over budget due to excitement and anticipation (also because I'm a serial spender once we're on location).
We spent the first day of our trip visiting Old San Juan, walking through its cobblestone streets filled with colourful colonial buildings and impressive ocean-sweeping fortresses. You can definitely feel the strong Spanish influence that resides on the island, long after it became an unincorporated territory of the United States.
After an entire day of walking around, which is more than enough to get the vibe of San Juan and its cultural side, we went down to the local beach for a swim where we were staying in Condado.
You're not on holiday until you've had a swim in the warm waters of your destination.
It's one of the main city beaches of San Juan, so there was nothing exceedingly tropical and isolated about it. Tall apartment and hotel buildings line the thin strip of beach. The hordes of sunbeds and tourists follow suit.
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast we headed to El Conquistador Resort located in Fajardo, a region on the Eastern side of the island. As we were in the taxi van, we couldn't help but notice the uniqueness of Puerto Rico.
You're in a tropically warm and humid destination, with relatively underdeveloped housing and villages (out of the city), yet you find yourself paying in US dollars, driving in American cars with all the big name fast food joints lining the streets. The contrast between the two worlds is omnipresent.
As we entered the grounds of the resort, we drove for about 10 minutes through a lavishly green golf course winding its way towards the top of a hill where the reception roundabout was located. This was our relaxing part of the trip, and what treatment we got!
It turns out that El Conquistador is a Waldorf Astoria resort (check out the Waldorf Astoria in New York on Google to get an idea). I had found discounted tickets through an online booking agent and it was just within our budget.
The resort is situated on the top of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. As we walked on to the reception balcony, we were greeted with a terrace field of pools, palm trees and tropical jungle. Now this is what we're talking about! The receptionist must've thought that we were getting married or something because she gave us a junior ocean view suite upgrade which we didn't say no to.
We checked in to our now huge room overlooking the resort and the sea. First things first, we went for a walk around the premises to see what was going on. The resort is so big that there is a cable car that takes you down to the second part of it. With a total of 8 pools, a private island only a short catamaran ride away, a waterpark, tennis courts, fitness centre, golf course and a choice of over 6 restaurants to eat from.
There was everything we needed to disconnect from real life for a few days.
Sounds like a factory style resort coming and going with families and children everywhere, doesn't it? I'm sure that during high season it must be, but to our surprise there were only a few guests, enough to make us feel like we weren't the only ones there and few enough for us to have intimacy and not feel like just a number.
The only thing that we had not anticipated was that the resort was a 20-minute drive away from the closest village, which meant that we ended up eating and drinking from the various restaurants and bars of the resort, which were nice, but the total over four days was quite pricey.
The days that followed were spent relaxing on Palomino island, the resort's private island, a 25-minute boat ride off the coast. It's the water sports playground of the area.
We snorkelled in turquoise waters, swam with turtles, schools of fish, jet skied out into the open waters and sunbathed while drinking cocktails in the sun. We spotted a sandbank about 500 meters off the island that was popping out of the water and snorkelled there.
It's an incredible feeling being alone on a 100 metre square sandbank in the middle of the ocean surrounded by shades of blue, sun and without a soul in sight except for the one person you love spending time with.
Puerto Rico is home to the only tropical rainforest in the United States, El Yunque National Forest. We met a local guy who was hanging around the reception who offered to drive us up to the rainforest. We agreed on a set price for the afternoon (best practice to avoid unpleasant and sometimes heated conversations at the end of a day trip) and he drove us up to the top of the rainforest.
He explained that all the paths ended up at the same spot further down the mountain. He would wait for us there while we spent the afternoon cruising amongst the humid and muddy paths of the rainforest.
It was gloomy and it rained on and off the whole afternoon. We strayed off the path at one point and followed a small river, hiking over the rocks, up and over the trees and found ourselves in a hidden natural pool with a little waterfall. Mathilde and I stopped off and had a swim in the very cool waters of the pool surrounded by the crashing waterfall noises with a backdrop melody of birds chirping.
It was quite incredible to be to be so deep in the rainforest considering that in the morning we were having breakfast by the pool in the sun.
Our stay in El Conquistador definitely slowed down time and allowed us to sit back, relax and spend some well-deserved time together. At that point, we were just over half way through the trip, and the next morning, we headed off to Ceiba to catch a tiny plane over to the island of Vieques.
Vieques is a small island off the East side of Puerto Rico that is accessible by boat or small plane from a tiny airport next to the town of Ceiba. Flights to the island were only $35 each way, which is very reasonable. We arrived at this tiny airfield mid-morning and 'checked-in' at the only desk there.
There was no security check, luggage drop or gate, just a big room with glass-paned windows looking out to a big stretch of asphalt.
There were only 5 other people waiting in the room with us, and none of them seemed to be on holiday. Two women were environmental conservationists going on a mission to the island and the others were locals traveling solo with only a backpack. Just before boarding we were weighed (yes us, not our luggage) so that the weight distribution in the plane would be equal.
It's at this point we started realising that the tiny plane sitting on the runway in front of us was the one we were getting on.
As we walked out onto the tarmac, the pilot was smoking a cigarette next to the plane and greeted us. Like in a car, we literally threw our stuff in the back and were told to sit on the back seat. There were only 2 seats per row and 4 rows in total. Definitely the smallest plane I had ever been on.
Fifteen minutes later, we landed on Vieques island and hitched a ride from a local. A small house in the mountains with a private room that over-looked a horse enclosure was going to be our base for the next few days. As we looked at a map of Vieques to see how it was set up, we noticed that half of the island was a National Wildlife Refuge.
There are only two towns on the island, Isabel II, the main town and Esperanza, a cozy little village on the other side of the island. That afternoon we took a taxi to Esperanza which went through the mountains in the middle of the island. This was what we were looking for, raw and undeveloped island life.
The taxi was quite pricey and there was no way we were going to be taking taxis around for 3 days. We met a guy in Esperanza that hooked us up with a moped for a few days. As we talked with him, we asked about the wildlife refuge areas and he told us that it was strictly off limits and that guards patrolled the entire area.
He also warned us that trespassers get prosecuted.
Thinking nothing of it, we also asked him about the other side of the island that seemed to have bunkers in the dense rainforest. His response was brief (yes) and he moved on to something else straight away. I asked him what the bunkers were there for and he avoided the question and didn't want to talk about it. Regardless, we now had the independence to roam the island as we wished.
We had some food at Duffy's in Esperanza on their outside patio facing the ocean and headed towards Puerto Mosquito…

|The aim of the present study was to analyze the relevance of the DSM-5's Conduct Disorder new Limited Prosocial Emotions (CD LPE) specifier in incarcerated juvenile delinquents. A sample of 201 males and 98 females from the Juvenile Detention Centers managed by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice diagnosed with Conduct Disorder (CD) was used. Results showed that male juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU), general psychopathic traits, psychopathy taxon membership, self-reported delinquency, and crime seriousness, and lower on prosocial behavior and social desirability, while female juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU) and general psychopathic traits, and lower on prosocial behavior. Significant associations for both genders were found between the CD LPE specifier and age of crime onset and first problems with the law.

We've been covering Sun's recent spate of product announcements coming out of the other day's press event, so here are the two latest big ones that we haven't covered so far.
First up, the further fruition of the Sun and Fujitsu alliance that was rumored a while back: Fujitsu will be designing the SPARC processors which will take the place of the cancelled UltraSPARC V in Sun's hardware lineup, while Sun focuses its design resources on Niagara and its successors (i.e. the "throughput computing" initiative). The two companies will merge their Sun Fire (Sun) and PRIMEPOWER (Fujitsu) product lines into one line called the Advanced Product Line, pooling their resources to compete with IBM and the up-and-coming x86-64 market.
Following up on Caesar's comments below, the Sun/Fujitsu approach ("give away" the hardware, sell the software) is almost the opposite of the IBM and x86-64 commodity hardware vendor approach (sell the hardware, bundle free software). I say "almost", because both IBM and Sun are ultimately looking to make money off of services in one way or the other.
Next up, Sun announced some changes to their much-loved ZFS file system, which is now renamed Dynamic File System (DFS). I don't follow enterprise file systems, so I won't bother to comment on this. If you want to know more, the eWeek coverage is here, and the press release is here.
Finally, Ace's has done a big round-up of all the Sun-related news covered here and elsewhere. Check it out for additional commentary, links, and info.

Silvia brought me back some great gifts from Croatia. Some Italian
coconut almond treats, hot chocolate, spices and other goodies as you
can see. It was so sweet of her to do that. I saw pictures on her
facebook of her eating the hot chocolate and it looked wonderful. It
looks more like pudding than a drink. I had to use google translator
to be able to read the directions and the translation was pretty funny.
The good the bad and the details. We are moving to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. We will try to keep a rambling record for anyone that ever dreamed of giving it all up and moving to the Islands to learn from or just laugh at.

Are You a Survivor?
Location: Indonesia
Camera info: Fuji Finepix A303 • Automatic Point & Shoot
ISO 100 • f 2.8 • 1/60 sec
"Check this out. We call it a vase plant," our tour guide said. I stared at the green and red growth, making a mental note that they carried fresh water. In our mini jungle survival course, our guide also taught us some good sources of food – like termites (they really don't taste that bad)! So, I thought I'd share the wealth and include a few more jungle survival tips for all you crazy adventurers out there, just in case you lose your way.
First, don't panic and run in circles. It doesn't help. Keep calm, and try to find a trail. If you can't, pick a direction and travel that way consistantly. Eventually you'll find something useful.
One very useful thing is rivers. Small streams will lead to big streams, which lead to rivers, which (more often than not) lead to settlements. They also create a break in the treeline, which may make you easier to spot from above.
WATER is the most important thing you can find. Several plants (like the one in the photo) can collect water. Bamboo is a good source, as are some types of vines (avoid the ones where the water is red, yellow, or milky). You can also collect it from a fast-moving stream and boil it, or start digging!
FOOD is next. Many plants are edible, such as palm hearts, but unless you know for sure which ones, be careful! Avoid most red berries, plants with milky sap, and anything with sap that irritates your skin. When in doubt, follow some monkeys. Most of their diet is compatible with ours.
The biggest dangers in the jungle are falling trees/branches and insect/reptile bites. Use your various forms of insect repellant, don't touch the plants when you don't have to, and build your hammock or shelter above the ground
Don't forget the all-important things – how to build a fire and tie a good knot. It's also a good idea to carry a machete. They're just so useful!
Don't forget to pack the essentials before you travel! Things you may consider beyond the usual stuff: salt (for drying, santization & diet), foot powder (the humidity makes fungal infections common), or condoms (not for what you think… they can protect from waterborne pathogens when crossing rivers)
Finally, keep a good attitude! The will to survive, fight off fear, and find humor in tough situations is the key factor in most survival stories.
P.S. There's way more tips than I can summarize on just this short blog. Check out these sites for more.

Did you know?
Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, based him on a lone teddy bear he noticed on a shelf in a London store close to Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956. He subsequently bought it as a present for his wife. The bear inspired him to write a story about it and within just 10 days, he'd written the first book. He gave the book to his agent and A Bear Called Paddington was first published on 13 October 1958.
The first stuffed toy was manufactured in 1972 by Gabrielle Designs, a small business run by Shirley and Eddie Clarkson. They made the first Paddington Bear as a Christmas present for their children Joanna and Jeremy Clarkson (the controversial TV presenter).
The reason they gave Paddington his boots was so he could easily stay standing upright.

Vintage Mitchell GC 35mm High Speed Camera
This Hollywood classic Mitchell Standard high speed (GC) serial number 763 is offered with the following equipment: one 400' Mitchell magazine, high speed motor, Nikon lens mount, power cable and case. Use with the included high speed motor or shoot hand cranked. A hand crank is available separately. The Mitchell Standard high speed is capable of shooting from 1 to 120 frames per second and features dual pin registration and 4 pin pull down claws for the steadiest image possible.
Mitchell 763 was sold to Holloman Air Force Base in 1948. It was at Holloman, after World War II, that the Air Materiel Command established its primary site for the testing and development of pilot-less aircraft, guided missiles, and other research programs. Many missiles were launched here at what became known at the Air Force Missile Development Center, including the Tiny Tim, Rascal, V-2, XQ-2 Drone, Falcon, MACE, Matador, and Shrike. Beginning in 1968, Holloman AFB became the home of the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing and their aircraft training and operations. The 49th worked with the F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, and F-117A Nighthawk at this facility and continues its work at Holloman today with the F-22 Raptor¹.
The camera found its way into the visual effects world sometime in the 1970s as evidenced by the addition of a Nikon lens mount to the stock turret and a built-in video tap. As part of our studio's inventory, this camera worked on many television shows, commercials, and feature films as a visual effects plate camera and for high speed photography. This is an excellent vintage-look collectors camera, or a great camera for your next production. The camera is clean, with glossy white paint, and has been recently serviced. Ready for your production or an excellent addition to your Hollywood collectibles. $2,999 Item #C10275« Go Back to Cameras « Go Back to Vintage

- The Supreme Court of Canada's Decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia: Implications for the Application of the Forest Act in BC
- July 23, 2014 | Authors: Garry E.P. Mancell; Jeff Waatainen
- Law Firm: Davis LLP - Vancouver Office
On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its unanimous decision on Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia (the "Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision"). In its reasons, the Court made a declaration of Aboriginal title over certain lands within the Tsilhqot'in Nation's traditional territory, marking the first time that a Court has declared Aboriginal title to land. "Aboriginal title" conveys significant rights including the right to exclusive use and occupation of the lands at issue.
In this bulletin, we examine the implications of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on the application of the Forest Act to "Aboriginal title lands" in BC. For a more general overview of the Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision, please read the Davis LLP bulletin, "The Landmark Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision: What it Means for Project Developers in Canada", prepared by Heather L. Treacy, Q.C. and Laura Easton of our Calgary office.
Aboriginal Title to Land
This appeal arose from the grant of a forest licence in 1983 by the Province of British Columbia under the Forest Act within the traditional territory of the Tsilhqot'in Nation. Members of the Tsilhqot'in objected to the forest licence and, in 2002, the matter proceeded to a lengthy trial at the BC Supreme Court, lasting 339 trial days over a period of 5 years. The trial judge found that, despite their semi-nomadic society and relatively small population, the Tsilhqot'in had demonstrated sufficient, continuous and exclusive occupation of the territory claimed prior to the sovereignty of Canada to establish Aboriginal title - that is, to exclusive use, possession and occupation of the land similar to rights in fee simple (though, without similar rights of alienation). However, at this point, the claim was dismissed for procedural reasons.
The Tsilhqot'in Nation appealed the decision to the BC Court of Appeal where, in 2012, the Court applied a stricter reading of the test to prove Aboriginal title. While the Court of Appeal declared that the Tsilhqot'in had Aboriginal rights to hunt, fish and trap, the Court found that the semi-nomadic nature of the Tsilhqot'in people was not sufficient to ground a declaration of title. The subsequent appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was heard in 2013.
Granting of Aboriginal Title and Failure to Consult
The Court applied the test for Aboriginal title that it had previously established in Delgamuukw v. British Columbia ("Delgamuukw"). Specifically, the Court required the Tsilhqot'in Nation to demonstrate that the lands were sufficiently occupied, that occupation was continuous between the present and the time of Canadian sovereignty, and that occupation was exclusive at sovereignty. The Court agreed with the trial judge in finding that, even though the population was small relative to the large territory, the use of the land was sufficiently regular to show an intention of the Tsilhqot'in to possess the land in a way that supports a declaration of Aboriginal title.
The Tsilhqot'in also sought a declaration that the Province had breached its duty to consult with the Tsilhqot'in with respect to proposed forestry activities under forest licences issued pursuant to the Forest Act over lands subject to its claim of Aboriginal title. The Court agreed that the planning and approval of these forestry activities took place without meaningful consultation and, accordingly, the Court declared that the Province had breached its duty to consult with the Tsilhqot'in Nation.
The Application of the Forest Act to Aboriginal Title Lands
While not strictly necessary for the disposition of the matters at issue in the appeal, the Court went on to examine the application of the Forest Act to Aboriginal title land for the sake of efficiency.
Under the Forest Act, the Crown grants authority to harvest "Crown timber", a phrase defined in section 1 of the Forest Act as "timber on Crown land." In turn, the Land Act defines "Crown land" for purposes of the Forest Act as "land - or an interest in land, vested in the government." The Court concluded that Aboriginal title land does not fall within this definition of Crown land. Consequently, timber on Aboriginal title lands is no longer "Crown timber" and the Forest Act will no longer apply to lands that are subject to a declaration of Aboriginal title. The Court focused on the application of the Forest Act to Crown timber. This leaves open the potential application of those parts of the Act that apply to all timber (timber marking and scaling) to Aboriginal title lands.
The Court indicated that the provincial legislature could amend the Forest Act so that it would apply to Aboriginal title lands. Were the Province to pursue any such amendment, the legal validity of the amendment would, in the first instance, depend upon whether the legislation infringed an Aboriginal right and then, if so, whether the infringement was "justified" in accordance with the requirements of existing case law.
The Court stated that a grant of harvesting rights under the Forest Act to a third party over Aboriginal title land was a "serious" infringement of Aboriginal rights. As such, the Crown would have an obligation to "justify" any such amendment to the Forest Act that purported to allow the Crown to grant harvesting rights over Aboriginal title lands. Under existing case law, "justification" would require the Crown to demonstrate that:
- it complied with its procedural duty to consult with the rights holder and appropriately accommodate those rights;
- a compelling and substantial legislative objective exists in support of the infringement; and
- the benefit to the public interest is proportionate to any adverse effect of any infringement of on the Aboriginal interest at issue.
While the Court in Delgamuukw had previously accepted that forestry and other resource development projects could justify an infringement of Aboriginal title, the Court found the infringements in this case were not justified. The Court rejected justification on the basis that there was no "compelling and substantial' objective to support the grant of harvesting rights that infringed upon the Aboriginal title of the Tsilhqot'in Nation: the economic benefits derived from the logging in this case were insufficient compared to the detrimental effects on Aboriginal rights. The Court left open the possibility that harvesting rights could be granted on Aboriginal title lands, so long as the Crown was able meet the test for justification. The Crown was simply unable to do so in this case.
Importantly, the Court distinguished between the disposition of harvesting rights to third parties under the Forest Act, and what the Court called "general regulatory legislation." Examples the Court gave with respect to the latter included forest management activities directed towards wildfire and pest control. While the Court stated that the application of these sort of legislative provisions would continue to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, the Court also suggested that such applications would generally not infringe Aboriginal rights.
Reconciling Aboriginal Title Claims with Harvesting Rights
The Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision will not change much in the short-term for holders of existing harvesting rights under the Forest Act. As was the case immediately before the Court delivered its decision, most (if not all) harvesting rights granted under the Forest Act relate to lands that are probably subject to one or more claims of Aboriginal title. Until Aboriginal title is proven and generates a court declaration to that effect, a claim to Aboriginal title is just that - a "claim". Nothing has changed in this regard. Meanwhile, government and the holders of Crown harvesting rights must carry on in accordance with the consultation and accommodation requirements that the Supreme Court of Canada has previously set out in Haida v. British Columbia. The key point in this respect is that the stronger the claim, the deeper the level of consultation and accommodation that is required. Again, nothing has changed in this regard.
Moreover, while the Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision represents the first time the Supreme Court of Canada has made a declaration of Aboriginal title to land, this possibility has existed since at least the Court's 1997 decision in Delgamuukw. The potential for a declaration of Aboriginal title is not new; nor are the possible consequences of any such declaration. The Court's decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation has not changed the reality of Aboriginal rights and title in BC; rather it has focused attention on that reality.
The spectre that remains is the potential for lawsuits on account of damages for timber harvesting under the authority of the Forest Act prior to a declaration of Aboriginal title. While sufficient consultation and accommodation may minimize damages in any particular instance, the problem is that most, if not all, "Crown lands" subject to harvesting rights under the Forest Act are likely also subject to some claim to Aboriginal title. With the Tsilhqot'in Nation Decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has demonstrated that even a nomadic First Nation with a relatively sparse population can succeed with a claim of Aboriginal title over a relatively expansive tract of land. This result will undoubtedly have some effect upon the Crown's contingent liability calculus.
The Court has clearly indicated that harvesting activities will not infringe Aboriginal title if there is consent of the First Nation that holds the Aboriginal title. In this sense, the Court has pointed out the direction of how it expects government to reconcile Aboriginal title claims with harvesting rights under the Forest Act through the treaty settlement process.

This paper proposes a mechanism for topographical features formed during pulsed laser texturing of Ni-P magnetic disk substrates. A salient feature of the process is the ability to raise a central peak in the irradiated spot, providing a low contact area bearing for the slider-head of a computer hard drive. Formation of topography is believed to involve gradient capillary forces acting at the surface of the molten pool (Marangoni effect). However, the central peak cannot be explained with thermo-capillary forces alone. Therefore, it is suggested that a compositional gradient due to the depletion of a surfactant at the molten surface provides the necessary condition to reverse the capillary force in the central region. This perspective is investigated using finite element modeling of the Lagrangian fluid mechanics coupled with heat and mass diffusion.

Sometimes humanity benefits from Godzilla other times they are hurt by him but what he does for humanity isn't of "heroic" or "villainous" intent, he just kind of does because of the consequence of what he is, a monster.

30 Days of Godzilla: Day 25: What Movie is the Most Overrated: Overrated seems like a negative term, I prefer to call it over-appreciated because I think this film get a little more love than it deserves. Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Though I can see why it may appeal to those who like it, I can't help but watch the film and just feel mixed about the experience. 30 Days of Godzilla- Review: Gojira tai Megagirasu: Jī Shōmetsu Sakusen aka Godzilla x Megaguirus: G Annihilation StrategyRead More

Gigantis, messes up a lot of what Godzilla Raids Again is and it feels like a dumb down of what the movie actually is.

I guess maybe a tie between The Return of Godzilla, because whole people like it for what it is, I don't think it gets enough credit for it's craft and Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla from 1993.

I know All Monsters Attack seems like the popular chose for understandable reasons but I still enjoy it for what it is, so it's hard to say it's the worst.

30 Days of Godzilla – Day 20: Coolest Incarnation of MechaGodzilla and Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (1993) Review
30 Days of Godzilla: Day 20: Coolest Incarnation of MechaGodzilla: I like them all, I think they all have a unqiue and cool design and purpose that each one feels too different to say one is cooler than the other. I love the Showa era's menacing alien robot of destruction, I love the Heisei era's mechanized protector who is there only real chance at stopping Godzilla, and I love Kiryu from the Millennium era, which feels like a mixture of Showa's destructiveness but also Heisei's protectiveness.

Whatever mood you're in, however you're feeling, you can't help but smile when you walk through the doors of M&M's World in Leicester Square. With soft giant M&M's characters, row-upon-row of pick 'n' mix style stations and four floors of general M&M cheeriness, this is a forget-about-your-bad-day-and-step-into-a-fun-fantasy-world kind of place. And even I – a cynic of these money-making tourist attractions – found it kind of fun.
I've walked past the M&M's store SO many times but never found any reason to go in. So when we had a half an hour to kill before our film started at the Vue cinema, I decided to drag the other half in to keep warm and find out what's behind those doors.
The answer is: cuddly toys, mugs, plates, giant character statues, and just about every type of M&M's souvenir you can think of.
You can even get M&M's clothes, pyjamas and the most expensive item we found was a pair of diamante M&M's sunglasses costing £500. Jeez, is there anything this brand doesn't do?
Aside from branding just about everything you can imagine, this is actually quite a fun place for families to come with kids (but prepare to bring the credit card). There's a fun interactive factory where you can pick your bespoke selection of sweets from the Periodic Table of M&M's. A team dressed in lab-style coats then get to work compiling your pick 'n' mix like they're in a science lab.
Elsewhere you can stand underneath a scanner which tells you what mood of M&M you are…
And there are loads of characters dotted about…
Services here also include personalising your M&M's with messages, for special celebrations like birthdays and weddings.
And aside from that, you find yourself feeling like a kid again as you gaze longingly at rows-upon-rows of rainbow coloured sweets…
…which can offer up a bit of escapism from an otherwise ordinary day… Sometimes it's ok to be a tourist.

Hi Ponder--
Thank you for your almost poetic and thoughtful post (I suppose as your name implies!--ponderous indeed!). I'm so sorry that you lost your career due to your illness. I hope that you are well enough to resume in some capacity. I really don't know how I managed to keep my job. Aside from hallucinations, I had every symptom of a mixed state for days at my job--crying, thinking about suicide, pacing, --you know--excrutiating and devistating. (then a 3 month long depression where I stared into space for hours).
So maybe I am bipolar I. Who knows. I didn't really report everything when I got my diagnosis. But even then, the intern who diagnosed me said I was BPI. It devistated me, as I refused to believe that I was mentally ill, and he revised his diagnosis to BPII since I hadn't been hospitalized. I know I should have been, though. How I survived that episode, I do not know.
I think that a diagnosis can surely change as time goes on. I was diagnosed as first having panic disorder (1st episode), then major depression (2nd episode), then BPII (3rd and most recent full episode). Hopefully, with the aid of medications, a person will not escalate into a new diagnosis. I suppose I should just be happy with being cyclothymic at this point. But I want to test it out a little more and try to get as close to normal as possible. A book that I've been reading ("Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide")states that most BP patients can expect soft cycling, even on medication. I'm going to try to soften my cycling even more, since I'm still having marked impairment with sleep loss, agitation, lethargy, guilt, etc. So I'll definitely let you know how it goes. And thanks for the advice about the Wellbutrin. I had some similar thoughts about maybe adding it if I felt too tired or depressed with the Lithium on board. I just hope I tolerate the Li, and that it works.
Stay well Ponder (and others reading)
I enjoy your thoughts,

A hundred years ago, Nikola Tesla worked with oscillators—small devices that create vibrations of regular rhythms. In his lab in New York he would adjust the pitch of oscillators and watch with interest as they reached resonance with different items around the room, which would start to shake—first maybe a chair, then a desk, then a lamp. One night he strapped an oscillator onto the thick steel pillar that ran up through his ceiling and down through the floor. As he adjusted the vibrations, the pillar started to shake. Then, the entire building began to tremble. Soon, the vibrations ran down through the pillar into the bedrock below Manhattan to set off an earthquake.
Nikola Tesla knew that vibrations were the stuff of life, and that bringing vibrations into resonance can produce forces that profoundly affect our physical world, for better or worse. He claimed that if he could match the Earth's resonant frequency with the right equipment, he could send information to any location in the world very easily and inexpensively, using the planet itself as the carrier. If the wrong equipment were used, he warned, he could split the planet apart like an apple.
Electromagnetic waves and material objects are not the only things which can achieve resonance. When two or more people resonate with one another in their feelings, thoughts, and attitudes, powerful forces are generated which open the way to smooth interaction and communication at the subconscious or spiritual level. There is a chemistry and compatibility among them which is not present in most relationships. Wonderful things can unfold when such resonance occurs among human beings.
With the right attitude and a "good heart," I believe we can achieve resonance not only with other people, but also with other life forms on this planet. And not only with life on this planet, but also with positive, vibrant beings who reside in more finely spun realms of existence which are right here, all around us, beyond the perception of our physical senses. Resonance between a group of humans and a team of elevated spirit friends, I believe, is the principle behind ITC contacts received by researchers in various countries in recent years, such as the following:
Adolf Homes reconnects with his long lost mother
Adolf Homes of Rivenich, Germany was just an infant when his mother, Elise Caroline Homes, died. Apparently the loss left a hole in his life which would remain until his later years. When he became interested in technical spirit communication in 1987, he quickly began to get tiny spirit voices on tape during his daily experiments with a radio and tape recorder.
Adolf Homes and his wife Rosi
That year he struck up a friendship with another German man, Friedrich Malkhoff, from nearby Schweich, who also had become fascinated with technical spirit communication.

Before long, the two men were receiving phone calls and computer contacts from the Centrale spirit group. On one occasion, Adolf turned on his computer and found an image of his mother in spirit. The rapid ITC progress of Malkhoff and Homes, I believe, was made possible by resonance between the two men and, more importantly, between Adolf Homes and his departed mother.
The love story of George and Jeannette Meek
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, George and Jeannette Meek were enjoying their golden years. Since George's retirement from a career as an industrialist, he had immersed himself in the pursuit of understanding man's basic nature. The Meeks founded the Metascience Foundation and sponsored research trips around the world with teams of scientists, researchers and doctors to explore such phenomena as energy healing in the Philippines and acupuncture anesthesia during major surgery in China.
In 1980, George was working with a gifted psychic named Bill O'Neil to develop the Spiricom device, a set of 13 tone generators that allowed dialog between Heaven and Earth through electronic equipment for the first time ever.
George and Janette Meek
William O'Neil and the Spiricom device
It was an historic occasion. There was a 20 hour dialog between Bill O'Neil on Earth and George Jeffries ("Doc") Mueller in spirit which came through the Spiricom device from 1979 to 1982 'Note: The excerpts are available in: MENU -> EVP & Audio. All excerpts have transcripts.
Doc Mueller had been an engineer with the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) before his death in 1967. In his dialogs through the Spiricom device in 1980, he provided his terrestrial colleague Bill O'Neil with a long list of personal facts, including social security and phone numbers, to verify the contact.

Jeannette Meek died in the spring of 1990, and before long she sent George a computer letter to prove to the world that she was enjoying the afterlife. George's aim, after all, was to convince the world that there is no death, and that life is eternal. Jeannette's letter to her husband George was delivered from the spirit worlds directly into a computer of Maggy Harsch-Fischbach and her CETL association in Luxembourg, which she operated out of her home. On February 21, 1991, Maggy and her husband Jules left for work in the morning, making sure everything was turned off in the house. When they returned home that evening, the computer was running and a file containing Jeannette's letter had been planted on the disk. All the while, George Meek was at home in North Carolina, unaware of this strange activity underway in Luxembourg. Jeannette's letter said, in part:
Dear G.W.
Well, it seems there are still people who do not believe in the contacts your friends here at CETL are having. Here are some details which except you…nobody can know"
In 1987, end of April, tenant Debbie called to say her refrigerator was off. It must have been on a Thursday morning… On April 29, Ann Valentin wrote another letter saying that she had not received the Magic of Living Forever booklets they had ordered, but Harlequin novels. Third story: John Lathrop (I don't think Maggy and Jules ever heard THAT name!) shut off the electricity at the "C" house to put in a new light…
Don't try to explain this, Honey. My never-ending love to you. I miss you so much, but I know we will be together.
Love forever,
Jeannette Duncan Meek
The letter contained details from their life together that were of no significance to anyone—not even to George—but they fulfilled Jeannette's wish; they proved conclusively that the letter had been written by no one other than Jeannette, who had left the Earth a year earlier. She was quite obviously still very much alive in the next world. So, yes, life does indeed continue!
On November 21, 1992, Jeannette sent George a picture of herself from what our spirit friends call the "fifth level of human existence". Again, the picture came through the computer of Maggy Harsch-Fischbach of Luxembourg, and it showed the beauty of that spirit world, which we on Earth sometimes called the higher astral planes, Heaven, or the Summerland. Jeannette showed up as a lovely, young face superimposed over the landscape. Another young woman in a dark dress is also present in the picture. That is the Meeks' daughter, Nancy Carol, who had died at the age of two weeks and was reunited with her mother Jeannette after Jeannette's transition. On the right side of the picture is the face of a man whom our spirit friends identified as Hal Roach, the American film producer.

HEIR - Au peuple de l'abîme (LADLO Productions - CD 2017)
The way this album begins, with absolutely throat cutting, vicious riff and insanely blasting drumming quickly caught my attention. If I didn't know, I would certainly think that I listen to another Icelandic black metal sensation from Terratur Possessions, as atmosphere and quality wise this opening song is very alike. But no, it's nothing Icelandic, but a French band - so, from pretty damn great black metal scene also. Here's Heir with their debut full length album "Au peuple de l'abîme", released through Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions. Yeah, one my favourite black metal labels and another great release from them. I can definitely say so, not only about LADLO, but also about "Au peuple de l'abîme". I know Heir already from the 2016's split In Cauda Venenum / Heir / Spectrale. As far as I remember, I enjoyed their music there, although it wasn't so strictly black metal influenced, but more like progressive, experimental post / extreme metal sort of stuff. Well, with songs like "Au siecle des siecles", Heir sounds much more malicious and aggressive than on the split CD. And much more black metal, what I like a lot.
But they do merge together different styles of music, so along with black metal there's plenty of dissonant riffs, long instrumental parts, post / drone stuff, etc. I love that overwhelming heaviness, which comes from almost every riff on this album, whether the tempo is neckbreaking fast or more doomy. I love how Heir keeps the balance between all these various styles and emotions, even if sometimes the contrast can be quite big. But damn, that's what I love about this record - that it's so unpredictable. I love the most furious and fastest fragments the most, but there's something truly mesmerizing about the slower parts also. I am truly surprised by the quality of the songwriting, how great riffs could be found here, how well it all has been putted together and arranged and how intriguing these 40 minutes of music were. Heir has plenty of great, but uncommon ideas, what makes this album a stand out even among other so-called post / black metal records. At the same time, I am grateful that they haven't push these borders too far from the traditional means, in result we get a very straight forward and vicious, intense music. Give a listen to songs like "L'Heure d'Helios" and "Au siecle des siecles", which probably are my favourites, and judge yourself.
Well, what else can I say... Albums like "Au peuple de l'abîme" may not be for traditionalists, for people, who would rather only listen to the more primeval and archaic forms of black metal. Heir belongs to the group of bands, which dare to do something a bit different, but do so in great style. I am happy to know such albums and it's always a pleasure to listen to them. After the truly spectacular album from Au Dessus this may be my favourite release from LADLO of the recent months. Strongly recommended.
Standout tracks: "L'Heure d'Helios", "Au siecle des siecles"
Verdict: 80/100

Music News- 2018 is the 20th Anniversary of Lucinda Williams' critically acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning, highly-influential masterpiece Car Wheels On A Gravel Road. To celebrate the milestone year for this milestone work, Ms Williams will embark on a select twelve-date, ten-city tour where she will perform the album in its entirety, followed by a second set of songs from her celebrated career. The tour will primarily take place in the Northeast starting on November 2nd in Collingswood, NJ (Philadelphia market) and will include stops in Boston, New York, Toronto and Chicago.
The stories of the making of Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, and how long it took, is the stuff of legend. The changing producers, the re-recording, the revolving list of musicians only add to the folklore surrounding the album's creation. However it came to be, one thing remains true, Williams never wavered on her vision for this masterpiece, and what she envisioned changed music on a multitude of levels.
Following its release, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road was named Best Album of 1998 in the Village Voice's annual "Pazz & Jop" critics poll and received a 4-star review in Rolling Stone,while garnering critical praise throughout the press. The album went on to win the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The influence of Car Wheels On A Gravel Road is immeasurable, and it is considered, much like Williams' 1988 self-titled album, one of the cornerstones of what is now called Americana. Rolling Stone ranked it #304 on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
Earlier this year, the anniversary of Car Wheels On A Gravel Road and its impact was the subject of a feature in Billboard, among others, and a thoughtful, insightful essay about its influence by Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield in Stereogum.
Williams will be joined on the tour by her incredible, long-time backing band Buick 6, featuring Butch Norton on drums, David Sutton on bass and Stuart Mathis on guitar.
Most dates will go on sale Thursday, August 23rd at 7:00pm local time. For all ticket information, visit https://www.lucindawilliams.com/. See full tour itinerary below-
