The summary below is helpful for building custom kernels from kernel.org sources. This method of compiling kernels is the traditional method common to all distros; however, an excellent method of cleanly installing the custom kernel with makepkg and pacman is also included.
You may alternatively choose to use ABS to build and install your kernel; see: Kernel Compilation#Using the Arch Build System. Some Arch users prefer the
traditional way; however, using ABS is helpful for automating certain tasks. The choice is yours; neither way is inherently better than the other.
Fetching source
- Fetch the kernel source from
ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/, where xx is your country key (f.e. 'us', 'uk', 'de', ... - Check [1] for a complete list of mirrors). If you have no ftp gui, you can use
wget. For this example, we will fetch and compile 18.104.22.168; you should need to change only the version to get a different kernel.
For instance:
$ wget -c http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-126.96.36.199.tar.bz2
- Copy the kernel source to your build directory, e.g.:
$ cp linux-22.214.171.124.tar.bz2 ~/kernelbuild/
- Unpack it and enter the source directory:
$ cd ~/kernelbuild $ tar -xvjf linux-126.96.36.199.tar.bz2 $ cd linux-184.108.40.206
Prepare for compilation by running the following command:
make mrproper
This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The kernel team recommends that this command be issued prior to each kernel compilation. Do not rely on the source tree being clean after un-tarring.
Build configuration
- (Optional) Copy the .config file from the running kernel, if you want to modify default Arch settings.
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
- Configure your kernel.
The Traditional Way:
$ make oldconfig (only if you've copied the old .config file) $ make menuconfig
Kernel version 2.6.32 and higher now provides the more user-friendly localmodconfig script which makes some configuration selections for you, according to the currently running modules. Note: localmodconfig expects lsmod at /sbin/lsmod, thus Arch users must symlink to /bin/lsmod.
As root:
# ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/lsmod
As non-root:
$ make localmodconfig
Note: for more information about the new build target "localmodconfig" refer to the 2.6.32 release notes.
You can also use
make xconfig (depends on Qt) or
make gconfig (depends on GTK), instead of the console-based
make menuconfig.
- Make your changes to the kernel and save your config file. It's a good idea to make a backup copy, since you will likely be doing this multiple times until you get all the options right.
- If you are compiling a kernel using your current config file, do not forget to rename your kernel version, or you may replace your existing one by mistake.
$ make menuconfig General setup ---> (-ARCH) Local version - append to kernel release
What about /usr/src/ ?
Using the /usr/src/ directory for kernel compilation as root, along with the creation of the corresponding symlink, is considered poor practice by some kernel hackers. They consider the cleanest method to simply use your home directory. If you subscribe to this point of view, build and configure your kernel as normal user, and install as root, or with makepkg and pacman (covered below).
However, this concept has been the target of debate, and other very experienced hackers consider the practice of compiling as root under /usr/src/ to be completely safe, acceptable and even preferable.
Use whichever method you feel more comfortable with.
Compilation and installation
Choose one of the following:
1. Manual, Traditional method
make all if you use GRUB and still have LILO installed; it will configure LILO in the end, and you may no longer be able to boot your machine! Remove LILO (pacman -R lilo) before running
make all if you use GRUB!
- Compile it:
$ make
(Same as make vmlinux && make modules && make bzImage - see make help for more information on this.)
- If you have a multi-processor computer, you can compile the kernel faster by adding the -j flag.
$ make -j<# of processors + 1>
- Install modules: (This needs to be done as root.)
# make modules_install
This copies the compiled modules into a directory in /lib/modules named by the kernel version and appended string you set in menuconfig. This way, modules are kept separate from those used by other kernels on your machine.
- Copy kernel:
# cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-184.108.40.206-revision1
- Copy System.map:
# cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-126.96.36.199-revision1
(There seems to be some debate as to whether this step is necessary with modern systems, but since the official Arch kernel packages still include it, it is included here.)
- If you need any modules loaded in order to mount the root filesystem, build a ramdisk (most users probably want this). The -k parameter accepts the kernel version and appended string you set in menuconfig and is used, in part, to locate the modules in /lib/modules:
# mkinitcpio -k 188.8.131.52-revision1 -g /boot/kernel26-revision1.img
You are, of course, free to change the name of the
System.map and
kernel26.img files; however, the
name-version-revision system is helpful for keeping track which of several kernel compiles you have made. You could also try including a date or time, or stick to a simpler naming system if you wish.
If you are using LILO and it can't communicate with the kernel device-mapper driver, you have to run
modprobe dm-mod first.
2. With makepkg and pacman (Recommended)
This method has the advantage of creating a package which can be cleanly installed (and removed) and tracked by pacman.
Create following PKGBUILD and kernel26.install files in build directory.
Adjust basekernel and pkgver depending on your version.
pkgname=kernel26-my basekernel=18.104.22.168 pkgver=184.108.40.206 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="The Linux Kernel and modules" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('GPL') url="http://www.kernel.org" depends=('module-init-tools' 'mkinitcpio') provides=(kernel26) install=kernel26.install build() { LOCAL_VERSION="$(grep "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=" $startdir/.config | sed 's/.*"\(.*\)"/\1/')" cd .. make || return 1 mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/{lib/modules,boot} make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$startdir/pkg modules_install || return 1 # There's no separation of firmware depending on kernel version - # comment this line if you intend on using the built kernel exclusively, # otherwise there'll be file conflicts with the existing kernel rm -rf $startdir/pkg/lib/firmware install -Dm644 "System.map" "$startdir/pkg/boot/System.map26$LOCAL_VERSION" install -Dm644 "arch/x86/boot/bzImage" "$startdir/pkg/boot/vmlinuz26$LOCAL_VERSION" # Change the version strings in kernel26.install sed -i \ -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION=.*/KERNEL_VERSION=\"$basekernel\"/" \ -e "s/LOCAL_VERSION=.*/LOCAL_VERSION=\"$LOCAL_VERSION\"/" \ $startdir/kernel26.install }
KERNEL_VERSION="220.127.116.11" LOCAL_VERSION="-MINE" post_install () { echo ">>> Updating module dependencies..." /sbin/depmod -A -v ${KERNEL_VERSION}${LOCAL_VERSION} echo ">>> Creating initial ramdisk..." mkinitcpio -k "${KERNEL_VERSION}${LOCAL_VERSION}" -g "/boot/kernel26${LOCAL_VERSION}.img" } post_upgrade() { echo ">>> Updating module dependencies..." /sbin/depmod -A -v ${KERNEL_VERSION}${LOCAL_VERSION} echo ">>> Creating initial ramdisk..." mkinitcpio -k "${KERNEL_VERSION}${LOCAL_VERSION}" -g "/boot/kernel26${LOCAL_VERSION}.img" }
You can now build and install the kernel as an Arch package with:
$ makepkg -c -i
(The -c option will clean up leftover work files and directories after a successful build whereas -i specifies that makepkg should immediately invoke pacman to install the resulting package (you can also use just
makepkg -ci).)
Bootloader configuration
Add an entry for your amazing new kernel in your bootloader's configuration file - see GRUB or LILO for examples. Note that if you use LILO, the kernel sources include a script to automate the process:
$ arch/i386/boot/install.sh
If you use LILO, remember to type
lilo as root at the prompt to update it.
Using the NVIDIA video driver with your custom kernel
To use the NVIDIA driver with your new custom kernel, see: Installing the driver for a custom kernel. You can also install nvidia drivers from AUR.

WTC Internship Program
2018 WTC Internship
This program will take students on a tour of major tech companies around Salt Lake and Utah counties. Students will get to tour the company buildings and hear from their amazing employees about what kinds of things they can do with a STEM degree.
Check out 2017's WTC Internship
The Women Tech Council (WTC) launched a technology internship program to provide high school girls the opportunity to interact with technology companies, meet and interact with women in technology and understand the impact they can have by pursuing STEM careers.
Participants toured tech companies across Silicon Slopes, including Vivint, Ancestry, Instructure, Dell EMC, Domo, Adobe, HireVue and IM Flash to learn about working in tech, the types of jobs that exist in the technology industry and the employability skills they need for a successful career in STEM. During this internship, the girls presented at the state educator's CTE Conference to demonstrate and teach state educators about activities to engage students in STEM.
The internship program is an extension of WTC's SheTech, a program designed to activate, engage and inspire high school girls to pursue STEM fields and careers through hands-on experience and mentoring with industry experts. As the newest addition to SheTech, the internship program continues SheTech by providing another touch point to keep girls engaged with tech companies before they finish high school, increasing the likelihood they will choose to pursue a STEM degree. In the last year, more than 2,000 high school girls have participated in SheTech. Research shows 90% of these girls are more likely to pursue STEM fields.

Thanks Frances!! Hope your readers like the post and if anyone needs any more personal recommendations to drop me an email - thanks! xReplyDelete
I would love to visit Barcelona! We had three weeks in Catalunya a year or so back, and somehow managed to completely avoid getting there in favour of Valencia. I think once the kids are a little older it would be a great city to take them to (or if my parents would have the little darlings for the weekend, the husband and I could escape there even sooner! :-D) Great post xxReplyDelete

NEW DELHI --Gurgaon Police has arrested a 40-year-old driver who allegedly attempted to molest a woman passenger who hailed the cab through the cab-booking app Uber.
The 40-year-old driver is a resident of Delhi, the police said in a statement. He has been charged under section 354A of the IPC, which deals with molestation.
The woman passenger has alleged that the driver tried to forcibly kiss her after he dropped her to Gurgaon on Saturday night.
"As soon as I reached Sun CIty, Gurgaon I paid the driver and asked him to give me my bags," she told Gurgaon police in an emailed complaint on Monday night, seen by HuffPost India. "He instead held my hand and kissed it against my will and tried to forcefully do more of it while not letting me go, so I pushed him and took my bags and ran from there."
Gurgaon police have identified the driver and are corroborating the allegations. Police confirmed that Uber officials are cooperating with the investigation.

According to the woman's complaint, she booked the cab on Saturday night at around 9.30 pm, boarding it from west Delhi's Subhash Nagar area, near a mall. She has told police that she was alone in the cab, and as there were some isolated stretches along the way to Gurgaon, decided to shift to the front passenger seat so that she could escape in case of an emergency or pull the handbrakes. It was after she reached Sun City in Gurgaon that the incident took place, she said.
The woman even called a friend afterwards, but she was unable to lodge the complaint on her behalf. It was after discussing it with her brother that she complained to Uber, which she says sent a templated response, following which they posted it on Uber's Facebook page.
After media reports on the matter, an assistant commissioner of police called the woman and asked her to file a complaint.
An Uber driver is facing trial for alleged rape of a passenger in Delhi in December. Uber has since introduced an emergency button in its app which is meant to alert a local police station in the event of an emergency, and also a 'safety net' feature, which allows the passenger to share real time location and trip details to five pre-set contacts.

June 18th Event in Osaka!... um... Kobe actually!
Hi to everyone and Happy Friday and Happy First-Day-of-the-World-Cup!!
I will post the invite for next Friday's event by tomorrow. Due to some unexpected logistical details (I have to work late and will never make it to Osaka on time.) I have had to move the venue to Kobe, Sannomiya. My apologizes for the change.
We will definitely have an Osaka event in the next 2 or 3 months but I want to make sure everyone has time to plan for it (... and I can make it on time!!)
Next Friday's event will start at 7:30 to give people some time to network and chat before the 8:30 World Cup game turns up the volume in the room!
So mark you calendar and plan on stopping by for awhile or hanging out the whole evening.
Hi Everyone,
Our June event will be June 18th in Osaka.
I am still finalizing the venue but since it is the night of the Germany vs. Serbia it would be fun to go somewhere showing the game.
I have some ideas but any suggestions??
I will post the invitation with all the details in about 2 days.
(I am shooting for our July event to be at a beer garden sometime during the Week of the 12th or 19th. So send your ideas my way for this as well.)
Hope to see you the 18th!

I personally find it very difficult to believe that intelligence agencies have large numbers of paid shills on forums. They might have a few, but they are not going to have many, and those they do have, are generally only going to be targetting people who they've identified as a real cause for concern. The government simply doesn't have that much manpower, relative to the number of what they consider to be potential threats.
The real problem, as I wrote in a previous thread, is arbitrary skeptics. These are people who basically do the government's job for it, without needing to be paid or given orders. They do it because they tell themselves that they are more "rational," than other people who are "crackpots," or "tinfoil hat wearing paranoids," etc. A lot of the time with their attempted debunking, they believe that they are performing a genuine public service.
To me the real threat to meaningful discourse on these forums, isn't paid agents from the Central Intelligence Agency or FBI. It's devotees of the church of Richard Dawkins, who are arrogant, hostile, and have an extremely misguided view of both logic, and real science.

Yes. I've noticed that "Skeptic-Intelpro" authors like Krause and Shermer luimp in conspiracy with New Age or Biblical Literalist forms of irrationalism. Note how a lot of conspiracy sites then go and play in to that equation, almost making the skeptics' case for them. Note how closely how both fit with cognitive dissonance.
Genuine skeptics question government. Genuine skeptics don't consider what government sources say as the
"null hypothesis." I think we can push that one further and also say that genuine skeptics part from academic rationalists in that the former do not consider the received intellectual climate as the "null hypothesis" starting point also. Genuine rationalism is not shill rationalism that simply takes the received wisdom and makes it a starting point.

There is something intrinsically Aquarian about redheads.
Perhaps it's their rarity.
Perhaps it's their difference.
I remember in the 1970s going to visit a house where a number of single people lived together.
I was taken by one of the girls who had magnificent auburn-red hair down to her waist.
I turned and through the door came a young man with a splendid mane of orange-red hair down to his waist.
He was her brother.
My prayer is that these beautiful people see what has been done to them by their rock legends and that they be healed in body, mind, and spirit.

Its been revealed this week that SNK has surprisingly launched or, rather is in the process of launching a new Neo Geo licensed portable gaming console, according to the Japanese game blog Famicom Plaza.The new Neo Geo pocket games console is equipped with a 4.3 inch screen and comes fitted with an SD card slot for storage, together with 2GB of internal storage.
Controls are provided via four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, and what appears to be from the picture above, a digital stick from the Neo Geo home console's pad. The SNK Neo Geo when released will come shipped with 20 pre-loaded classic arcade games from the Metal Slug to King of Fighters '94.
SNK has yet to confirm the launch of their new Neo Geo portable gaming console, so as you would expect there are no details on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.

This movie tried to be more like Ocean's Eleven than Fast and the Furious. There was one point when there was about to be a drag race for a pink slip, and it just cut to the scene of them driving the car into the garage after winning it. Are you kidding me?...oh and The Rock needs to stop doing movies, he's a terrible actor.

Fast pacing, fast action and humor. This says it all I think.

Fast Five
You can see the "F&F" franchise as a car. In the first movie it is running good. Then the fuel begins to be consumed(2F2F) and it starts to vanish(F&FTD). So what do you do when you have no more fuel? You go refill it! (F&F4) and then the car starts running again.
I think after the third movie we all were sick of these street races, to be honest: that franchise was dead. The fourth part gave some more "power", Vin Diesel back, but still there was no entertainment here. Then someone had this brilliant idea to turn "Fast and Furious" cars into a "Fast and Furious" heist. Perfect!
This movie gave F&F new power. A new bad guy: The Rock. Who is chasing the crew not only with street races, but normal, as a cop.
Of course there were a lot of car´stunts in this movie, but the cars were not ...

Testosterone Fueled Fun
It is very rare that a movie is saved by a single sequence, but Fast Five would only be a tolerable action movie if it werent for the safe scenes.
The movie is a fairly cliché heist movie. That is necessarily a bad thing, but unlike other cliché heist flicks like Oceans Eleven the movie doesnt do much in the way of character and style to set its self apart from the rest. It doesnt help that the acting is mediocre as well, and that The Rock looks like he was waxed along with the fancy cars before each scene.
The action sequences are really what put this movie above others. They are directed expertly in a way which creates tension and excitement. They also are able to come up with some entertainingly over the top action sequences to match.

I truly loved this film.the only problem i had with it was that it was really slow and a little bit too long,but I can deal with it.cause this movie proved to me that it's not just mindless drag racing.this film deals with the characters and also deals with the emotions they are going through in powerful ways,now that's never seen in the other fast and the furious films.I truly loved this films.it was a heist and I thought it was a a cever one at that.all these characters feel real and loveable.director Justin Lin does it again,bringing us yet another sequel to the amazing series.I would recommend this one,if you didn't like any of the others,you will have to love this one,it doesn't even feel like it's apart of the series,it feels like it's apart of it's own perfect hiest film.Vin Diesel...

Doctor In The House centres on the exploits of hapless medical student Michael Upton (Barry Evans). Upton is a sober and somewhat studious lad following in his father's footsteps into the medical profession. The fun focused on he and his fellow students' capers around campus and ward - they were customarily less studious than Upton. The famous surgeon Prof. Loftus (Ernest Clark) was the primary antagonist but the bigheaded Dr. Bingham (Richard O' Sullivan) was equally irritating. Episodes included; 'Why Do You Want to Be a Doctor?' 'Settling In,' 'It's All Go,' 'Peace and Quiet,' 'The Students are Revolting,' 'Rallying Round,' 'If in Doubt--Cut It Out,' 'War of the Mascots,' 'Getting the Bird,' 'The Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Casino,' 'Keep It Clean,' 'All for Love' and 'Pass or Fail.'

A veterinarian is your pet's second-best friend. When selecting a vet, you're doing more than searching for a medical expert. You're looking for someone to meet your needs and those of your pet, a doctor who has people as well as animal skills. The worst time to look for a vet is when you really need one, so plan ahead and choose wisely.
Because veterinarians often work with a team of professionals, including technicians and qualified support staff, you will likely want to evaluate the entire vet team's competence and caring. If you think the veterinarian is terrific but don't care for one of her staff, you may not be happy. On the other hand, while the location may be convenient and the fees may suit your budget, you may not feel comfortable about some other aspect of the facility. Weigh the factors that are important to you, but remember you will probably be happier if you drive a few extra miles or pay a few extra dollars to get the care you desire for your pet.
The best way to find a good veterinarian is to ask people who have the same approach to pet care as you. Start with a recommendation from a friend, neighbor, animal shelter worker, dog trainer, groomer, boarding kennel employee, or pet sitter. Check the Yellow Pages under "Veterinarians" and "Animal Hospitals," where important information may also be provided about hours, services, and staff. You can also search for veterinarians in your area at www.pets911.com.
Some veterinary hospitals are members of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). AAHA membership signifies that a veterinary hospital has voluntarily pursued and met AAHA's standards in the areas of facility, equipment, and quality care. Other veterinarians are board certified in a particular area of veterinary medicine such as ophthalmology, surgery, or cardiology, which means they studied an additional two to four years in the specialty area and passed a rigorous examination.
Once you've narrowed your search, schedule a visit to meet the staff, tour the facility, and learn about the hospital's philosophy and policies. This is a reasonable request that any veterinarian should be glad to oblige. Write down your questions ahead of time.
Learn what is normal for your pet so you recognize the first signs of illness, and see your vet regularly for preventive visits, not only when your pet becomes ill. If a pet is not well, don't wait until she is really sick before calling your vet. It is frustrating for a vet, and heartbreaking to owners, to see an animal die of an illness that could have been treated successfully if professional care had begun sooner.
Schedule appointments, be on time, and -- for your pet's safety as well as that of other clients and pets -- bring your pet to the veterinary office on a leash or in a carrier. Even if you have an emergency, call ahead to ensure that the veterinarian is available. An emergency may occur when your vet is not available, so ask for a referral to an emergency veterinary facility.
Before it becomes necessary, take a practice drive to the veterinary office, since trying to find it when you really need it can cost precious minutes. Post the office's number near your telephone for quick access. Do not disturb your veterinarian during non-working hours for matters that can wait, and do not expect your veterinarian to diagnose a pet's problem over the telephone.
Prevent pet overpopulation and gain a happier, healthier pet by having your animal spayed or neutered. Keep your pet safe indoors, adopt a pet for life, and choose a caring and competent veterinarian who will provide years of quality medical care for your beloved companion animal.
As a pet owner, you are ultimately responsible for your pet's care. If you feel your needs as a client or the needs of your pet as a patient are not being met, it may be time to find a new veterinarian. However, many situations are a result of misunderstandings, which can be resolved through talking things out and looking for solutions. If you cannot resolve a fee or treatment dispute with your vet, you may contact the ethics and grievance committee of your local or state veterinary association and/or the American Veterinary Medical Association. For serious issues of medical competence, you may file a formal complaint with the Veterinary Licensing Board in your state. And finally, you can take up the matter as a civil suit with your attorney. You can hopefully avoid such unpleasant experiences by carefully and thoughtfully choosing your veterinarian-your pet's second-best friend.

LEEDS UNITED travel to St Andrews on Friday night to face a Birmingham City side that look a very different proposition to the one that beat them at Elland Road back in August.
The Blues came away 2-1 winners on that occasion, but have struggled for form under Gianfranco Zola since he controversially replaced Gary Rowett in December. By contrast, Leeds United have continued their impressive surge towards promotion contention, although that will most likely be through the play-off route. In a fixture that is without a goalless draw since 1988, we look at five previous clashes between the two in the West Midlands.

Okay, I am told that Microsoft will make Windows 10 is available on July 29th, but here's the thing: they could use it to take over the world!
How do I know this? Simple. I've seen the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, and the villain, Valentine, had a plan that is similar to what Microsoft is doing now. In the film, Valentine gives everyone an SD card that allows for free Internet and Wi-Fi Forever. He's played by Samuel L. Jackson, acting like he's on one of those Capitol One ads that he does.
Anyway, after those free SD cards are equally distributed, it sends out a signal that taps into the rage part of people. From there, the world kills itself. Is it possible that Microsoft is planning on using their product to kill the world's population?
No, that would be stupid and unrealistic, because they would have no users. Still, the idea of putting some operating system on all of these Windows operating systems like laptops, desktops, and some phones is a sign that you really want to get yourself out there, for free!
And I suppose that only Microsoft can do this, and the issue is whether or not the company can afford to do this. I get the feeling that there might be some kind of hidden fee somewhere.

Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell on Thursday:
J.C. Penney - Investor Bill Ackman told WWD that he will stick by his investment in the retailer, despite the departure of the man he championed for the CEO position, Ron Johnson. Ackman's Pershing Square holds 17.8 percent of Penney's stock. Separately, the New York Post reports three more top executives, all former Apple employees, have left – COO Mike Kramer, chief talent officer Daniel Walker, and chief creative officer Mike Fisher.
Bed Bath & Beyond - The retailer reported fourth-quarter profit of $1.68 per share, in line with Street estimates, with revenue also matching expectations. However, the retailer is predicting current quarter profit of $0.88 to $0.94 per share, short of estimates of $0.95, with sales growing less than anticipated. Bed Bath has been hit by online competition, increasing coupon redemption, and a shift to lower-margin merchandise.
Yum Brands - Yum reported same-store sales in China dropped 13 percent from a year earlier, with a new bird flu outbreak impacting sales. China has been Yum's fastest-growing market, and its stock has been hit hard in recent months on occasions when it has reported negative news in China sales.

About Christo
In addition to his current passion for Abstract Expressionism, Ancient Calligraphic Symbols and Impressionism, Dramatic compositional tension and Chiaroscuro lighting is characteristic of the style when Christo Wolmarans works in Charcoal, Oils or Oil-Pastels; where he has now carved his niche. In his quest for instant gratification, the negative space of the dark ground completes the picture for the viewer. With his loose expressive style in line or brush, an intriguing form of realism is optically created.
Christo Wolmarans has twenty years experience in Graphic Design. Originally from Johannesburg South Africa, he studied Graphic Design at the Witwatersrand Technikon (now Johannesburg University), qualifying in 1985. He was offered a studio position in the same year at TBWA Hunt Lascaris where he gained valuable experience from advertising doyans John Hunt, Basil Mina and Jenny Groenewald.
He won a few Art Direction awards for his share done on the Exclusive Books account as well as a Loerie for the South African Optometric Association (poster) and a Clio for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (poster).
Christo Wolmarans took a break from practising advertising to lecture in Graphic Design between 1993 and 1995 at the AAA School of Advertising as Deputy Course Director where he assisted in formulating the syllabus with Peter Forrest-Smith.
In 1996 he accepted a Senior Graphic Design position at Ogilvy's in their promotional department working mainly on the Amstel Lager and K-TV (M-Net) accounts and later briefly reunited with old fellow colleague; Graham Lamont to work on KFC.
Commissioned for artwork in various illustration media ie Charcoal, Pen and Ink, Watercolours, Oil-Pastels and Oils by the advertising, publishing industries and private clients.
In 2001 Christo Wolmarans moved down to the Western Cape and freelanced as an illustrator for educational publishing companies Maskew Miller Longman and Nassau Via Africa.

Loan relationships: consortia companies and impairment: reduction in credits
Subsequent recovery
If an impairment debit has been restricted by CTA09/S365, and there is a subsequent recovery, the creditor can claw back some or all of the previous reduction.
This rule, in CTA09/S367, applies where, in any group accounting period, the amount of debits for impairment brought in for the period are less than total amount of credits from loan relationships held by a consortium member or its group members.
CTA09/S365(2) ensures that where impairment debits have been brought into account, recoveries are taxable as a credit. However, where there has been a previous restriction of the amount of bad debts under section 363, this taxable recovery is reduced or eliminated by the amount of that earlier restriction.
The amount of the reduction of each credit is calculated in three steps.
Step 1 is to find the total amount of debits that have been reduced in previous accounting periods
Step 2 is to deduct from this figure the total amount by which credits have previously been reduced.
Step 3 is to apportion the amount found at Step 2 between the credits.
In the example at CFM35670, WD Ltd wrote off £100,000 of a £200,000 loan to a consortium company. The impairment debit was restricted by £32,000 because of a group relief claim. In the following period WD Ltd regarded £50,000 more of the loan as recoverable and no group member has any new impairment. The taxable recovery credits are reduced by £32,000, leaving £18,000 to be brought in as a taxable credit.
Section 365 'wipes out' the bad debt restriction.
Where more than one member has a taxable recovery credit, each credit is reduced in proportion.

Looking for a bull to improve your grass genetics?
The strength of agriculture in West Virginia, and especially in our part of the state, is our ability to grow grass and market it through ruminants (cattle and sheep). With that in mind, the West Fork Conservation District has planned an outstanding educational program for this summer.
The District invites experienced stockmen, or young aspiring stockmen wanting to learn how to begin a farming enterprise with minimal financial input, or producers searching for methods to improve soil health and increase forage output, to mark their calendars for Friday July 21 and Saturday July 22, 2017.
The field day featuring "Grazing Management Strategies" co-sponsored with the Natural Resource Conservation Service and WVU Extension Service will welcome renowned keynote speakers Greg Judy, owner and operator of Judy Farms in Missouri, and Dr. Matt Poore, NC State Extension Specialist and operator of a cow calf/grass finished beef operation. The speakers will be sharing with WV grassland producers how to incorporate management strategies to improve the productivity and profitability of their operations.
Greg Judy, rancher and public speaker, gives numerous talk and seminars all over the US, New Zealand and Canada teaching about the benefits of holistic high density planned grazing (MOB Grazing), multi-species grazing, custom grazing, agroforestry and wildlife management.
If you were in attendance at the 2017 Appalachian Grazing Conference, you will note that several speakers referenced Greg Judy and his seminars. Greg and Jan Judy have authored two books, "No Risk Farming" and "Comeback Farms."
Greg is the featured speaker on Friday evening, where he will address "securing and developing economical grazing leases and minimizing production inputs." Saturday he will conduct a pasture walk on the Maxwell farm, discussing management strategies that can be utilized.
Dr. Matt Poore, Professor and Extension Specialist at North Carolina State University, will be sharing "how to make adaptive grazing work for you while maintaining soil health."
Dr. Poore has been a speaker at many of the WVU Dinner Lectures, and on Saturday will have a hands on opportunity to share with the group how to build soil health. He will also be participating in the Saturday afternoon pasture walk.
A NRCS Representative, on Saturday, will be describing the new EQIP program that will be featuring extended grazing and hay feeding strategies to build soil health.
The field day is a two day event: Friday, July 21, at 6 p.m., at the Doddridge County Park on Snow Bird Road will feature dinner and guest speaker Greg Judy and Matt Poore.
July 22 Saturday 9:00 am will be hosted by John and Sue Ann Spiker at the Maxwell Farm in Doddridge County. The Saturday event will feature morning seminars, lunch and optional pasture walk.
Cost to attend both events is $40, or $25 for single day registrations. RSVP and payment to attend will need to be made by July 14. Registration for students is only $10 per day and students should inquire about payment waivers for the field day.
This is an exciting educational opportunity to gain a wealth of information in grassland production and management. Contact Robin Ward at 304-627-2160 ext. 4, for more information or a program brochure. For more info:

Voices of Discovery Science Speaker Series with support from Liberal Arts Forum
Monday, March 8
A distant past lurks within each of our skeletons, our behavior and deep within our DNA. Our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, our hands resemble fossil fish fins, and the major parts of our genomes function like those of bacteria and worms. Shubin is the co-discoverer of tiktaalik roseae, a 375-million-year-old fossil fish whose anatomical features provide a link between fish and the earliest land-dwelling creatures.
Neil Shubin researches the evolutionary origin of anatomical features of animals. He has conducted field work in Greenland, China, Canada, much of North America and Africa, and he has published multiple articles in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleobiology, as well as more than 18 articles in Science and Nature.

Thanks to Boro who commented on "First peep inside the Tomb of Amphipolis" I received this article published in Mediterráneo Antiguo - arqueología e historia. It is written by Mario Agudo Villanueva who interviewed Nicholas J. Saunders, professor at the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Bristol on the Tomb of Amphipolis that keeps us all busy over the past weeks.
He gives us a clear overview of the possible occupants of the tomb beyond all journalistic guesswork, while at the same time he clarifies why this cannot be the tomb of Alexander the Great.
Great reading!
Interview with Nicholas J. Saunders: "the best qualified people to interpret Amphipolis tomb are the professional Greek archaeologists now excavating it"
|Access to the tomb, with two great sphynx. Photo: Hellenic Ministry of Culture
Question - What do you think about the Amphipolis tomb? Could it be the burial of Laomedon or Nearchus?
Answer - I think the tomb is a wonderful discovery, and the best qualified people to interpret it are the professional Greek archaeologists now excavating it. Whoever is buried inside (as long as it's not looted), it could be a very important discovery for tourism and the local community. So, in my opinion the tomb could belong to several possible individuals: it could be one of Alexander's Companions and high-ranking successors, such as Nearchus or Laomedon, as neither of them would have been buried at Aegae. Also Nearchus at least came from Amphipolis so it would be natural to build a high status tomb nearby for one of Alexander's great men. Also it could be perhaps be Roxanne as she (and her son Alexander IV) were murdered by Cassander at Amphipolis. Roxanne could be buried here as she was not Argead royal blood, but Alexander IV was, so it is likely he was buried at Aegae, which would perhaps agree with Andronikos' identification – I agree with Andronikos (though I think some experts still argue about it). It could also perhaps be Alexander's sister Cleopatra who was murdered at Sardis but probably on Cassander's orders – though again one would think that because she was Argead royal blood she would be at Aegae. Macedonians and especially those of Amphipolis, hated Cassander for his murders of Alexander's family, and when Cassander died they welcomed Demetrius his successor – so it would be no surprise that they built a massive tomb nearby – possibly for reburying Roxanne (and others?). It could of course be a 'surprise' multiple burial with several burial chambers as at Vergina - with some permutation of Nearchus, Laomedon, Roxanne, Cleopatra, or perhaps even Heracles – Alexander's illegitimate son by his Persian mistress Barsine? Interesting question about Heracles being Alexander's son and therefore Argead blood – but maybe not buried at Aegae because of his illegitimacy? Almost nothing is known of the deaths/burials of these individuals. It's a real mystery – and more exciting because of it.
Question - What about the possibility of a massive burial of macedonian soldiers?
|Inside de tomb. Photo: Hellenic Ministry of Culture
Answer - Interesting idea which recalls the mass burial of the Sacred Band inside the polyandrion at Chaeronea (338 BC) – and with a Lion on top as well. The Amphipolis tomb could be something similar – but it's so huge – much bigger than the Chaeronea tomb so it is probably unlikely in my opinion. I think that with this new tomb – size relates to status not number of bodies. Also it's intriguing because it is so huge that it rivals Aegae in this way, but is not actually in that sacred dynastic landscape so is 'inferior' in that way – so it's an intriguing mix – perhaps a compromise paid for with silver from the famous Amphipolis mint.
Question - Manolis Andronikos identified the corpse of a young man of 13-14 years as the Alexander's son, Alexander IV, in Vergina (ancient Aegae). What do you think?
Answer - There is still some disagreement about the identification of Alexander IV at Vergina – though in my opinion Andronikos is correct in saying it is Tomb III at Vergina. As a legitimate heir, Alexander IV would have been buried at Aegae, the objects in the tomb are about right date – 308 BC, and analysis of cremated bones indicate a youth – and he was murdered at 13 years old. So I think that most experts would agree with Andronikos – so it may be that after their bodies had been discovered from the secret places that Cassander had hid them, the mother Roxanne was re-buried at Amphipolis and her royal son at Aegae.
|Detail of a polychrome capitel. Photo: Hellenic Ministry of Culture
Answer - Yes, I agree, it is almost impossible to imagine that the new Amphipolis discovery is Alexander's tomb for many archaeological and historical and literary reasons. It is an intriguing possibility that it was designed and built for Alexander (his body was destined for Macedonia when Ptolemy hijacked it to Egypt), but the problem with this is that he would have been buried in his ancestral royal burial ground at Aegae/Vergina – it would have been impossible to bury him anywhere else in Macedonia – and Amphipolis was very secondary to Aegae. So, all the sources are correct – he was buried (several times) in Alexandria, where his mummy was visited by Julius Caesar, and several Roman emperors. Those sources must be right. I think Alexander's tomb (or at least the remaining foundations of it) are still there many metres down below the modern city streets in Alexandria at the location I pinpoint in my book. It's difficult to believe that there would be much left of the building itself however. As for his mummified body, that's a quite different matter. It could be destroyed (burnt) in the Christian riots; it could have been hidden somewhere else in Egypt – perhaps in the huge Ptolemaic period cemetery at Bahariya (Valley of the Golden Mummies); but my own favourite explanation is that his body was broken into pieces and sold as powerful talismans to Alexandrians (who still loved him even when many of them became Christians) – this was a very popular phenomenon, and in my opinion it was the beginning of the subsequently well-known Christian practice of Saint's body-parts as sacred powerful objects. So, in a sense, Alexander's body could have been returned in small pieces to the inhabitants of his own city!?

Calling it unconstitutional and a "transparent political stunt," Gov. Chris Christie on Monday vetoed a bill that would require future candidates for president to disclose their tax returns in order to appear on New Jersey's ballot.
The bill (S3048) passed largely — but not entirely — along party lines in the aftermath of the 2016 election. Trump went against decades of precedent by refusing to disclose his tax returns.
The bill would have required candidates for president and vice president to disclose the most recent five years of their tax returns at least 50 days before the general election in order to appear on the ballot in New Jersey. Many other states are considering similar measures. Read more at POLITICO.

Well this sure is fun, isn't it?
I mean, I think anybody who was paying attention expected to see more trips to the DL this season, with the league switching from a 15-day DL to a 10-day one. But not like this, Blue Jays. Not like this.
Wait for it… Joe Smith (shoulder inflammation) on DL, L. Campos called up. Ryan Tepera now setup guy #BlueJays
— Hazel Mae (@thehazelmae) June 19, 2017
This, unlike the recent DL moves for J.P. Howell and Chris Coghlan for afflictions that seemed dubious at best, is far from a case of right-arm shittiness. Not exactly, at least. In his last appearance, last week against Tampa, Smith was awful, blowing a 6-3 lead (in the game that ended up being won by Russell Martin's big home run an inning later). But on the whole Smith has been very good as the Jays' setup man. He's looked a whole lot better than the Joe Smith we all thought we were getting, even. His strikeout rate from 2014 through 2016 dipped from 23.9% to 21.0% to 18.4%, but has seen a remarkable spike this season, currently sitting at 36.7% — a far higher mark than anything he's done in his career, either the major or the minor leagues. Smith has been getting roughed up by BABIP (.362) and has been a little bit home runs prone, but oh those sweet strikeouts!
So that's not great. But… I dunno. Ryan Tepera being the club's setup man for now should be fine. Seeing some higher leverage situations for Danny Barnes might be a good thing, even. And… well… the Jays' bullpen will actually probably be OK. They are pretty OK, frankly — as a unit they're in the top 10 by ERA, WAR, and WPA both in June and on the season as a whole. Some of that is Smith, and I'm not saying this won't be a test for them, but no more so that Jason Grilli suddenly turning to dust, y'know?
The shoulder inflammation is a worry, but if that's it, you'd hope that given a little rest he'll be fine.
Either that or I'm way less worried by this than I rightfully should be. I GUESS WE'LL SOON FIND OUT!

Statement by Lee Edward McIlmoyle
Our current attitude toward our ailing transit system is a major impediment to this city's continued growth and prosperity. We need a comprehensive shift in both our thinking about public transit AND about our over-reliance on cars. Complete Streets plans call for wider use of accessible, serviceable rapid transit, and the studies prove that it's necessary to a city seeking sustainable economic growth, both in high- and in low-density population areas.
Improve the bus lane pilot project. We all benefit when more people can comfortably use mass transit. Council knows this. They need to commit to fixing this, or the problem, far from going away, will only get worse.

47th Anniversary
XIC celebrated the 47th Anniversary on Friday, 21st January 2017. The event was held in the 'Woods' in St. Xavier's College Campus. The alumni, faculty & staff in attendance enjoyed an evening of entertainment through musical performances from staff & students.
The year 2016 saw many events, the one that stood out among the rest was sainthood being bestowed to our own beloved Mother Teresa. XIC held a week long photo exhibition during the countdown to the canonisation day. Sister superior of Ashadaan – Mother Teresa's mission home in Mumbai was invited for a short evocative programme in September. As our social outreach too, the sisters from Missionaries of Charity were invited to be the beneficiaries of the Alumni Faculty Nite.
Three young visually challenged girls enthralled the crowd with their rendition of 'Mother'. Short videos on the mission work were screened.
The compere for the evening, Shaayaan Sheikh, an enthusiastic student pursuing Journalism in the current year.
XIC is approaching a milestone – 50 years of establishment soon approaching. Many of the alumni are today well placed professionals in the Media industry. Dean, Dr. Mistry & Director, Fr. Lawrie made this announcement to rousing applause. Those with inventive ideas for an apt celebration were invited to share their inputs.
A pleasant evening followed with old mates meeting, singing karaoke sharing their heroic classroom moments with faculty. Happy faces looking forward to visiting their alma mater soon.

rush to idiocy
rush to idiocy
Rush Limbaugh:
Hey, I have a great idea! Let's bomb Iraq on September 11th! What better way to commemorate the senseless killings of thousands of innoncent people, the suffering of millions and our disdain of terrorism by bombing the hell out of another country that we aren't even at war with yet! (paraphrased, of course, but a damn near likeness to what he said).
I can think of so many reasons why this idea is idiotic at best, but then again it's Rush. Nuff said.

tfw is a mini personal essay series I'm try to do on Tuesdays to recount second-person experiences of feelings and experiences we all have. Or maybe I'm the only one who has them?
You did something to your hair. You got a haircut or you did some coloring: you did something to your hair. You got it done. You got it done on a Saturday and you really like it and you got lots of compliments when you went out that day. Sunday, you got some compliments but people mostly assumed that it was old and didn't say anything. It was your hair.
Then, Monday. Work.
You think nothing of your hair. In fact, the two days with the new hair has made it your everyday and you've forgotten something is different. You arrive early and you go to your desk and you start your day with your new hair. You wait for the other people you share an office with to arrive.
"Did you get a haircut?" someone asks, as you make tea. You don't know who they are but, yes, you did something to your hair. "I did," you tell them. "When?" they ask. Umm, fucking between Friday evening and an hour ago. When the fuck do they think you got a haircut? In the bathroom, literally before this conversation? "Saturday," you tell them. They nod. "It looks good," they walk away.
You talk to a friend in the office. You exchange pleasantries and complaints and commiserations and, throughout the conversation, your hair is not brought up once. You are relieved. But why didn't they notice? They see you every day—and then some. They should have noticed your hair.
You look for something in the office. "Did you do something to your hair? It looks different," someone asks. You nod. "It has some color in it," you say. "No, it's not that," they squint. They do a swirl with a finger. "It looks different." You know it looks different: you did something to it. You were attached to your head when you had your hair done. You know what was done and can speak at length about it. You go to say exactly what was done to your hair but the person has finished the conversation with a smug, knowing smile that you didn't do anything and, instead of punching them, you walk away.
You sit at your desk. You talk to a few coworkers. You talk and catch up, asking about your weekends. You don't mention anything about your hair. They smile and look at their computers and go back to work and don't say anything about your hair and you're annoyed because these people see you every day and they should notice that you did something to your hair and you're now mad at them but you're also mad at the people who pointed out your hair and you wish you didn't have to talk about something so obvious as a haircut but you also want them to but you don't so instead you look at your computer too and you resume your day until, near the day's end, one of the people you share an office with goes "Did you do something to your hair?" and you stare at them and you wonder if now, nearly eight hours since arriving to work, their eyes just started working and you don't even care that they are or are not talking about your hair anymore and you just look up and tell them "Kind of?" which is not even true because you definitely did do something. They laugh. "Kind of? That's not an answer," they say.
You leave work. As you bike home, you decide not to do anything to your hair for a while. When you get home, you look in the mirror, at your new hair, and think about how it has already grown out. "What should I do next?" you think, a hand passing through.
The cycle repeats.

Hi everyone. I am so confused!!! I found out I was pregnant in the middle of May with a HPT. In fact, I took 6 of them because I couldn't believe it was true! A few days later at my doctor's apt. I was given a blood test to find out my HCG count. My count came back at a low 203. My doctor said that I was either very early in my pregnancy OR I had a very early miscarriage and my levels were on their way down. My doctor sent me for a follow up blood test 5 days later. Unfortunatly, my veins were shot after having a blood test a few days before and the tech could not draw blood that morning. They decided to start with a urine test and see if my levels had droppped enough to produce a negative response. Sadly, the urine test was negative....here we are 1 week later and I'm still having the same pregnancy symptoms but minor spotting. I took another HPT today and it was positive...Whats going on here???Please help me- this is so stressful to my husband and me.
Sounds like it was an early pregnancy that went wrong..I have lost more than 10 pregnancies..SO I feel Like an expert here in this department.. I usually lose my pregnancy at the 6th week but I have lost them as early as 3 weeks and the same has happened... Keep checking HCG's for 4 weeks..Talk to the Doc about Progesterone pills this may help..BABY DUST
I have had false negative and positive hpt. I do not trust them at all. I have the worst veins in the world i have been going through fertility for 5 years 7 pregnacied with one success story so far i have so many blown veins but they always find one in my hand or something. If a tech cant find one ask for another tech and get your levels.

Internet and Communications
The following information is a primer of sorts – on Broadband benefits, telephone options and other communication topics so critical to running a business.
Internet Access
- Cable and DSL are much speedier than dial-up and also do not interfere with phone lines.
- Broadband refers to the "bandwidth" of an
Internet connection and the volume of data that can flow
through it. Vastly faster than the old dial-up version,
broadband Internet has many advantages, among them:
- Allows continuous connection at high speeds (no added charge for duration of use), making downloading of documents, images and other large files a snap
- Provides a platform for Web conferencing, Web workshops, Webcasts and other Internet communication platforms, saving travel time and money for the business owner
- Permits telecommuting, allowing some employees to work at home – a real boon for small offices
- Opens business expansion potential beyond local boundaries to state, national and international markets via company Web sites and e-commerce options
- Permits some system repairs and product sales to be made "virtually" – that is, online – without expensive service calls
It is important to note that broadband systems require solid security measures because they are always "on." For this reason, business owners should obtain cutting-edge firewall protection.
Today's business owners have a range of communication options at their disposable, from the traditional land line to cutting-edge wireless technology. For this reason, the savvy entrepreneur will explore all the possibilities before choosing a service provider. Here are some guidelines:
- Research types of available telephone, Internet and cable service, including land lines and newer technologies such as VOIP (voice over Internet protocol), bundled cable, DSL (digital subscriber line), Bluetooth technologies and cellular phones.
- Search the market. Call local providers; explain your company's needs and ask them to describe exactly what services they offer for the price. Keep in mind, your phone will be your primary point of contact for your clients, and you eventually may need a professional system to handle the call volume.
- Investigate the service records and general reliability of potential providers. The Internet is a good place to start, as is the Better Business Bureau. In addition, owners of companies similar to yours can share recommendations and cautions regarding providers they have used.
- Make sure that providers' service plans offer prompt resolutions to technical problems. Some companies operate only during weekly business hours, an unfortunate situation when a real crisis occurs.
The Public Utility Commission advises caution when a deal seems too good to be true. Read the fine print regarding monthly fees, minimum charges or special promotions. Detailed information is available on individual states' PUC Web sites.
Once you've located a provider you can trust, brush up on the type of telephone system best suited to your business:
- Generally, the number of users, including company
employees, dictates the type of product. Choices
- PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems, mostly used by large companies
- KSU (Key System Unit), similar to PBX, but less expensive. This works best for companies with 60 employees or less.
- A KSU-less system, which does not require a large hardware box. This model is appropriate for businesses with 10 employees or less.
- Don't necessarily choose the cheapest option. The first line of communication for a business is the telephone – so opt for a reliable system that can grow with the company.
- Instead of buying new – and often expensive – phones, check to see if existing ones will work with the system.
- Buying a used or refurbished system can be a cost-saving option. Industry experts say most equipment is well-built and can last for years.
- Go Internet. According to International Data Corp., there are more than 4.5 million VoIP users worldwide. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems allow businesses to place and receive calls over the Internet. This option is particularly wise for companies employing telecommuters, though minor bugs still need to be vetted.
- Don't forget to factor in how many extensions are required for fax machines, modems, credit card terminals, etc.
Mobile Communication Devices
- Cell phones send and receive calls from inside the office to anywhere on the road. The most basic models feature voicemail and text-messaging, while higher-tech versions provide limited Internet access and GPS navigation technology.
- A PDA, or Personal Digital Assistant, is a handheld computer for organizing and managing appointments, tasks and contacts. Wireless models typically feature e-mail and Web browsing, with data synchronization permitted between the PDA and desktop computer.
- Smart phones (an evolution of the PDA) perform the entire range of cell phone functions, but also allow full Internet access, as well as provide word-processing, camera and productivity capabilities. What's more, users can download/upload data from and to PCs and laptop computers.

When a stroke occurs many neurons in the brain are destroyed each minute. That's why it's so important to save time by calling 911 instead of driving yourself or having someone drive you to the nearest hospital. No matter where you live, if you think you are having a stroke call 911 and the paramedics will take you to the nearest hospital that specializes in stroke care.

Justin Bieber Marijuana, Drink and Drive
Yes, Justin Bieber consumed marijuana, prescription drugs and alcohols while driving, well actually racing. Jailed in Miami. At the time of post, bailed with $2500.
A little boy that we used to admire....
How can a little boy like this turned into drug abuser? With these looks, tattoos all over the body, it is not surprising that a cute little boy has grown into an bad adult. He is just 19 at the moment and fixed with so much gangsters' tattoo. What is their parents doing?!
If found guilty, SIX MONTHS JAIL and license suspended for six months. =.=''

Turtle walkers from the area and turtle walker-wannabes gathered in Panama City on Tuesday morning for training to be able to walk this coming turtle season.
Statewide, turtle season is from March to October. Due to our cooler waters and sand, in the Northwest Florida Panhandle, turtle season is from May 1 to Aug. 31.
The state is a nesting home to five different species of turtles: the Loggerhead, Green, Leatherback, Kemp Ridley, and Hawkbill. The Loggerhead is considered threatened and the rest are on the endangered list.
Interestingly, 90 percent of the Loggerhead's nesting takes place in Florida, and a majority of those nests are in Northwest Florida.
"We are the principle stewards for this species," said Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission's Dr. Anne Meylan.
Therefore, the Endangered Species Act regulates and directs tracking of nesting sea turtles that are threatened or endangered and walkers or trackers must undergo training to take part in the activity or such activity is against the law.
Each year the agency recruits volunteer trackers who are willing to walk the beach and keep track of the number of turtles that come ashore and nest, as well as help determine the species of the turtle.
While Northwest Florida yearly documents mostly Loggerheads coming up on our shores, the area also occasionally sees a Green or Kemp Ridley nest.
2013 was a banner year for nesting, with 77,963 nests marked that year in the state.
One in 17 Loggerheads nest in State Parks.
Walkers who go out to help in the tracking go out before sunrise. They search for tracks and identify them via their trained eye or email pictures of the tracks to their coordinator for identification.
An alternating paisley gate from the sea up to the dunes means Loggerhead.
Parallel, even tracks mean a Green.
The Loggerhead will also drop its head, with which it helps push the sand.
The Green has a long tail that leaves its own track through the sand between its flippers.
Loggerheads tend to be sensitive to disturbances and impediments and 50 percent of the time after they come ashore, they won't nest, but go back out to sea.
All of the species tend to nest in the dark of night, except for the rare Kemp Ridley, which can often be found nesting in mid afternoon. The Kemp's Ridley is smaller, round, and gray, and they also have a wavy, alternating gate similar to the Loggerhead's.
The hatchlings that emerge from these turtle's nests and survive, will return in 30 years to the same spot they were hatched, to lay their own eggs.
In Florida, 57 beaches participate in the tracking process. The Panhandle has less participating than any other area in Florida.
