FCC adopt new LPFM rulesNovember 28th, 2007 | by Andrew Ó Baoill |
It was late – after 9pm EST – last night before the FCC meeting finally began, but it looks like they've adopted some useful changes to the rules governing LPFM:
- Allows the transfer of LFPM licenses subject to significant limitations.
- Reinstates the Commission's rule that all LPFM authorization holders be local to the community and limits ownership to one station per licensee.
- Clarifies that repetitious, automated programming does not meet the local origination requirement.
- Encourages voluntary time-sharing agreements between applicants.
- Imposes an application cap on 2003 FM translator window filers.
- Limits the responsibility of LPFM stations to resolve interference caused to subsequently authorized full-service stations.
- Establishes a procedural framework for considering short-spacing waivers and a going forward displacement policy for LPFM stations.
The rule changes have been broadly welcomed by the Prometheus Radio Project, if with some caveats:
Today, Chairman Martin and Commissioners Adelstein and Copps should be congratulated for moving to protect and expand low power FM radio – while also understanding that there are many issues we can resolve through further research and conversation. The Federal Communications Commission has taken a number of important steps today towards a better future for low power radio stations and their communities. We appreciate the partial support of Commissioners Mcdowell and Tate, and feel confident that the concerns they raised are addressable to their satisfaction.
Pete Tridish points out that the translator issue – which I mentioned in my recent post – has been partially addressed in a decision "to limit translator applications from 2003 to 10 applications per entity" but that more discussion is needed to come up with ways that will "allow the reasonable use of translators, while preserving significant opportunity for community radio stations to be born."There's a lot of detail in the order, and in a new Notice of Proposed Rule-making, calling for comment on a range of further proposals, including calling on Congress to remove the third-channel adjacent restrictions, and proposing that the next filing window in radio be for more LPFM stations. I haven't had a chance to chew on the detail yet, but definitely a lot of good news there, with more (potentially) to come.

If you are an early riser, you know that naps are very nice to take. But, have you ever wondered how long you should, or even if you should take a nap or not.
You've probably heard the pros and cons of napping over the years. The latest information from a sleep doctor gives more to sleep on. Rafael Pelayo, MD, is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford Center For Sleep Sciences and Medicine. He says 20 to 40 minutes is perfect for a nap.
Pelayo also said, "It's not that napping is good or bad. It's the context within which the nap is done." He said the desire to take a nap is natural. Pelayo continued, "I think we're biologically set up to have the flexibility of catching a nap. Our body allows this."
Do you regularly take naps? How long are they?

All of them!
It's pretty neat! :) Mayor Meanswell gets his own, lighter version of Robbie's song. The lyrics are kinda hard to make out, though.
Right now I'm working on a fairly lengthy LazyTown fanfic about video games. I hope that counts as a project XD
I always wondered when those letters were written!
I had a dream a couple nights ago where Robbie used a machine to drain Sportacus's energy somehow. I forget if it was resolved or how.
I missed one at the start of The Lazy Rockets! Here's an updated food collage.
The reason he's talking to the sun, I think, is because she's sort of a guardian spirit of LazyTown that doesn't really do anything.
It's simple--just lie back in your fluffy orange chair and go to sleep! (It doesn't always work though, especially around noisy kids or superheroes.)
I can do Robbie's signature 'go to sleep' move. :P
Something from The Lazy Dance was in the Techno Generation segment, it's the fourth clip when Robbie turns on the TV screens.
Is there a list of when parts of songs from other LazyTown songs are used? I recognized the ending as the end song from GGIL, 'Master of Disguise' during the Robbie interlude, and 'Teamwork' at 1:48...
I love that Robbie apparently eats packing peanuts.
I found another LazyTown board game, Crystal Challenge! According to the instruction manual Robbie went super hardcore villain mode and set bombs everywhere at random. XD
Why do all the Sportacus action figures' heads look like Robbie disguised as Sportacus? XD
Sportacus is still an elf in the American version, albeit implied more than stated (Robbie calls him a blue elf/blue sports elf a few times and the tips of his ears are always covered).
I found a...
I found a little more info about it from Diana Hinshelwood's LinkedIn. "My first commission on leaving the BBC was to produce, direct and write 42 episodes of Radio Lazytown for Cbeebies Radio." So...
My guess is grey eyes are harder to render/paint. I found a thing on DeviantArt wondering about it too! https://www.deviantart.com/gwendolyn-1983/art/Robbie-s-brown-eyes-118376570
I figured as much but had to make sure. I wonder what Radio LazyTown is, then! Have any posters from the UK heard it or heard of it?
Where do you search for subtitles? I don't see that option in the YouTube player, and using a search engine for "Stingy Fancy-Pants" turned up nothing.
All the Robbie merch and character art seems to have brown eyes for whatever reason, including the comics. Maybe they tried to compromise between blue and gray, decided that the gray looked more...
While searching for stuff about the CBeebies 'Reach for the Stars' live UK show, which had LazyTown characters as well as other shows' casts and one of Robbie Rotten's most successful plans ever (he...
Not quite dream-related, but lately I've been waking up with LazyTown songs stuck in my head. I assume Robbie Rotten is using some DreamTuner3000 or something XD
According to this the cakes were covered in shaving cream, but when he had to eat some it was expired spray cream. Not as yummy as Robbie made it look XD
I think so; there's a rule about children's media in America that they can't advertise real-world products directly on kids' shows, which is why Yu=Gi-Oh cards had to be changed for the dub so they...
Just finished another fanfic! It's an AU for The Laziest Town where Robbie wins, but that doesn't mean the heroes give up!

I showed some of the pictures Matt took this past Wednesday when we went out in the snow but here is a snippet of what I had on my phone!
Tuesday morning, Matt let me sleep in and of course, I couldn't fall asleep so I just looked at the light snow from the bed!
It was barely snowing at this point so the guys when out for a quick second.
Then we decided to stay warm inside because we knew we were in for a LOT of snow!
Views from inside Tuesday morning:
Then, my guys got brave again!
Isn't this little guy the cutest!?!
Back inside later on that day;
This guy was WARM in his dino PJ's
Early Wednesday morning, Matt got brave again; Please note that I was inside this whole time!!
Wednesday at about 1:30pm, we all decided to go outside:
Mason was worn out!!
Late Wednesday night/Thursday morning
Matt's Home Depot opened back up Thursday morning so Matt went outside to get the ice/snow off of the truck and this is how deep our snow was! Unfortunately/Fortunately, he got stuck in the driveway and couldn't get to work! Darn! ;-)

Q. Why do leaves change color in fall?
Ans. Trees make their food through a process called Photosynthesis taking place in the leaves which requires sunlight. In fall, there is less daylight than in the spring or summer. This makes it hard to the leaves to prepare their own food so the trees will cut off all supply to their leaves and live off the food they have stored up in the spring and summer. Leaves naturally have a yellow or orange color in them. However the green chlorophyll, made during photosynthesis, covers up all of the other colors. Since the trees have cut off the leaves, the chlorophyll will stop being made and the natural colors will shine through.

CHESHIRE — A local man is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault after a reported incident with a minor.
Thomas Reginald Davis, 64, of 10 Rising Trail Drive, was also charged Tuesday with two counts of risk of injury and impairing the morals of a minor.
In an incident in September, Davis reportedly touched a minor inappropriately, according to his arrest warrant. A second minor reported Davis made inappropriate comments in a separate incident.
Davis was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court on Tuesday. Bond was set at $25,000 and Davis is due back in court on April 25.

New Delhi [India], Mar. 30 (ANI): In the wake of the leaking of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) question board papers, the All India Parents Association (AIPA) on Friday said it would move the Delhi High Court to seek a court-monitored probe in the case.
Stating that these paper leaks have rocked the morale and confidence of students and parents, the AIPA president and lawyer Ashok Aggarwal said they are moving a petition in the Delhi High Court on Monday for a high court-monitored investigation.
Earlier in the day, Education Secretary at the Human Resource and Development ministry Anil Swarup announced that the re-examination of the CBSE's Class 12 economics paper will be held on April 25, while the re-test for Class 10 mathematics paper, if required, is likely to be conducted only in Delhi and Haryana in July.
Delhi police are already conducting a probe into the CBSE question paper leaks.
On Wednesday, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed after the CBSE registered two cases with the Crime Branch.
The papers of class XII Economics held on March 26, and class X Maths, held on March 28, were leaked on social media hours before the examination. (ANI)

APM Terminals Rotterdam Retrofits Cranes
- Business & Finance
APM Terminals Rotterdam Maasvlakte I will enhance five of the terminal's existing post-Panamax cranes to a 23-container row reach to accommodate the latest generation of ultra-large container ships.
The retrofitting involves engineering and software adjustments expected to be completed in time for the arrival of the 18,000 TEU capacity Marie Maersk, the fourth Maersk Line EEE-Class vessel, currently the world's largest ships of any type, which is scheduled to arrive in Rotterdam on December 6 th as part of the weekly Asia/North Europe AE10 service.
"We are continuously anticipating and adapting to our customers' needs to provide industry-leading efficiency and productivity" said APM Terminals European Portfolio Manager Ben Vree.
The world's first 18,000 TEU vessel, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller, paid its maiden call to APM Terminals Rotterdam on August 16 th . The EEE class vessels, at 59 meters (194 feet) wide, are 9 meters (29.5 feet) wider than the 15,000 TEU Maersk E-Class vessels, which have a capacity of 15,500 TEUs. Triple E-class vessels have containers stacked 23 rows wide across the deck, while current post-Panamax cranes were constructed with a 22-container row wide reach. APM Terminals Rotterdam set a new terminal productivity record on the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller with berth productivity of 215 gross moves per hour and crane productivity of 37.1 gross moves per hour.
The booms of five of the 13 STS cranes now in operation at APM Terminals Rotterdam Maasvlakte I are being extended for use on the 18,000+ TEU capacity vessels and will also use new operating procedures. Maersk Line has received the first four EEE-Class vessels out of a total of 20 scheduled for delivery over the next two years. The new generation of container vessels with a capacity of more than 18,000 TEU is setting a new standard for the industry.
The adjacent facility, APM Terminals Rotterdam's Maasvlakte II site, being built on land reclaimed from the North Sea, opens November 2014 with an initial annual throughput capacity of 2.7 million TEUs. The terminal, which will be the most technologically advanced container facility in the world, will be equipped with eight remote-controlled super-Post Panamax cranes, each with a 25-container wide reach.
APM Terminals Rotterdam is currently one of the busiest container terminals in Europe, handling 2.5 million TEUs in 2012. A recent productivity study released by the JOC Group named APM Terminals Rotterdam as the top terminal in Europe as measured by productivity in crane moves per hour (MPH), with 92 with a vessel alongside. In addition to ranking first in the JOC study's Europe/Middle East/African region, APM Terminals Rotterdam ranked 11th globally among terminals in overall productivity, and 5th globally when working vessels of 8,000 TEU capacity and above, with 112 MPH.

Cat Came Back Lyrics
Artist: Sonny James
Album: You're The Only World I Know
Now old Uncle John had troubles of his own.
He had an ol' yellow cat that wouldn't leave home.
He tried everything he knew to keep the cat away -
even gave it to a preacher an' he told it for to stay, but
the cat came back, the cat came back,
I thought he was a goner but the cat came back -
cos he wouldn't stay away.
Now the cat was a terror and he thought it was best -
to give it to a fella who was headin' out west.
The train went around the corner an' it hit a broken rail ---
Not a soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale, but
He gave the ol' cat to the man in a balloon.
He told him to leave it with the man in the moon.
The balloon it bursted and everybody said ---
Ten miles away, they picked the man up dead, but
Now the farmer on the corner's gonna kill the cat on site -
he's loaded up his gun full of nails an' dynamite ---
He waited in the garden til' the cat came 'round ---
Seven little pieces of the man was all they found, but

As luck would have it, my taxi driver from the Entebbe airport was knowledgable about the Nysambya neighbourhood. He told me that none the places on my shortlist were within walking distance and when I asked him if he knew of a hostel that would be convenient for a girl working at the hospital, he said, "Of course!" And so, he brought me to the Cardinal Nsubuga Leadership Training Centre (CANLET). When I hopped out of the taxi, Walter, the gatekeeper greeted me warmly and showed me into the reception desk. The centre turned out to be CARITAS run joint used to house students, seminarians, priests, nuns, and the occassional traveller. There are many people who live here permaneantly and others who are here attending workshops.
Carol the manager, showed me a few rooms to choose from. After my second night, I realized that my choice of a roadfacing room had been a poor one. The noise of barking dogs and honking mototaxis was endless. So, I was happily moved into slightly smaller, quieter digs. My current room is lovely and includes 2 beds, a desk, and a basin for washing clothes (or feet). The bathrooms here are dorm style, with shower stalls and flush toilets. It's very basic. Some mornings there is hot water, most mornings there is only cold, occassionally there has been none.There is an internet "cafe" attached to the hostel (at the moment I'm sitting in front of a computer, but writing this blog into my notebook as the electricity just went out without warning. The internet connection is reminicent of 1996. That's life here.
I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this place. Becuase I'm a longer term guest, they gave me a break on the rate (30,000 shillings or about $15 a night, including breakfast.) Breakfast consists of tea, bread, a hard boiled egg, and a slice of pineapple or banana. For dinner we usually have mashed banana, rice, and some sort of meat with sauce. The banana mash is growing on me and the rest is pretty tastey.
A small outdoor bar provides a spot to have a drink and hang out with the priests or other travellers. Most of the travellers have not been Muzungus although there have been a few. Cilas, a Sudanese refugee now living in Australia passed through a few days ago. He told me that it had been his first trip home to Sudan in ten years. Beatrice, a medical student from the Demogratic Repulic of the Congo was on her way back to school in St. Petersburg. She said that the road home had been dangerous, but she was well protected by the machine gun mounted on the roof of her vehicle.
The walk to work only takes about ten minutes in the morning. lus, there are several schools located along the way. My comings and goings provide much entertainment for the kids. "Muzungu! How are you!"It's a pretty fun way to start the day.
So, it's a humble abode, but all that I require. The built-in circle of friends is a terrific bonus.

Today I am really excited to be bringing you an author showcase for Author Poulomi Sanyal and her book 'Colour Me Confounded'!
All about the book
Author Poulomi Sanyal draws upon her own experiences as a woman in the modern professional world to tell the stories of two women struggling with finding balance in their lives.
In the first of two stories, teenagers Rupa and Minerva think they will be friends forever. The two high school girls are virtually inseparable, despite their many differences. Years later, Rupa looks back on that relationship and the dramatic incident that ended their friendship. While she writes her memoir and travels the world, she comes to a realization about her connection with Minerva and the experiences they shared.
The second story centers on Ariana, a Canadian Iranian engineer. She is happy with her work in Toronto, but a friend's surprise career move brings back old memories of a previous job in Montreal. She hated that job and felt isolated and unappreciated. There was one person, however, who made it worthwhile.
As both Ariana and Rupa look back on their pasts, they come to startling discoveries about their current lives. Will these insights lead the two to choose different paths—or just fill them with more regret?
All about the Author
Many years ago, there was a little girl who had prose and verse and dreams to share with the world around her. But something was missing; a platform. At age 12, she published her own children's magazine, "Hello Kids", featuring articles and poetry, jokes and puzzles, all created by herself and her contemporaries. Alas, her hard work had only found a meager audience amongst friends and family.
Who on earth wanted to invest in literature created by a bunch of children?
Today she is an Engineering Professional with a Master's Degree from a reputed Canadian University but her childhood voice, once restrained, still yearns for expression. To give this voice an expression, at long last come Poulomi's poetry, short stories, and novels. They come in search of and providing fulfillment to her true personality; that of a poet, artist, and author.
'I am a multi-genre writer (or you could say, genrefluid), focusing mostly on hard science-fiction, thrillers, contemporary/romance, short-fiction and poetry and I like to write diverse castes of characters with strong female leads. My writing is a little unconventional in the sense that I don't use popular themes and tropes in my works. As an example, my upcoming science-fiction is a mash-up of scientific theories, archaeological elements, and ancient myths.'
'My second novel, a sci-fi, action/adventure treasure hunt steeped in ancient myth is due for publication shortly (in a month or two). It's based in some of my original research ideas when I was doing a Ph.D. in Engineering at McGill University in Montreal. I'm really excited about this book'
All about the 5 Star Reviews
Colour me confounded: A painting of confounded relationships nowadays
This book tells two stories. I liked both. The writer could rightly express the feelings of a good friend after a sudden shock from the unexpected break up from a very close friend, whom she had believed to be very close but later on to discover how wrong was she. This is true for both the stories. Although in the second one it's not between two friends but between two colleagues instead, who happened to come very close during their duties together.
Colour Me Confounded literally left me dumbfounded. I could sense the emergence of an extremely talented new writer: Poulomi Sanyal. In her first book, how deftly Poulomi has painted the various aspects of human relationships and emotions through the two short novellas, is simply astounding.
Basically, both the stories hover around the main theme of two modern day women facing the challenges of the contemporary world and struggling to strike a balance between their dreams, aspirations and professional challenges on the one hand and love and friendship on the other. Her book keeps us riveted to the strolyline, following the joys and upheavals in the lives of Rupa and Ariana, the protagonists. As the stories progress, we marvel at the lucid language, often mingled with humorous undertones, with which the tumultuous personal relationships, professional struggles and emotional turbulences of Rupa and Ariana are depicted. The book reminds us of our own struggles and aspirations and keep us glued to the end. A very pleasurable and mesmerising read, indeed. Best wishes for the young writer and awaiting many more works of different flavors from her.
While reading this book, I envisioned myself sitting across a table from the author in a restaurant somewhere while she regaled me with a thinly veiled story from her life. Waiters and waitresses buzzed here and there as she spun a tale of relationships, work, travel and education. When she finished the first story, she had to go but handed me a written account of a second story written in third person. I remained at the restaurant and read the whole thing before paying the bill and going home.
The stories are written well, with no spelling or grammatical errors. I found it enjoyable, but wish the tales were a bit longer. There seemed to be more to the stories. Regardless, it made my bus rides to and from work go by quickly. A very nice first effort from a promising author.

Pre-Fall 2016Tanya Taylor
Tanya Taylor was thinking about the bigger picture when it came to her Pre-Fall collection, and not just because her Sebastian Mader–lensed lookbook included multiple figures in each frame. It was about groups of women together, she explained midway through the racks in her airy Soho studio. A letterman's jacket gave Taylor's newfound sense of team spirit away. Its embroidered felt and buttery-soft leather boasted the peppy floral accents that she is known for, but it also offered a hint of a new direction for Taylor, one that edged, ever so softly, into streetwear. Loose black viscose trousers and T-shirts had stretchy ribbed trim, the former shown with an oversize cashmere sweater: Taylor's take on long-haul-ready airport style. That's fresh territory for the designer, who was also experimenting with a new logo, as seen in a baseball-style scroll on a jacket or an oversize floral-strewn T on that same sweater. (Perhaps not the right avenue to pursue, considering that outside of the vintage appeal of the old standards, the current retail climate has found customers clamoring for individual expression—and logomania to be a particularly tough sell.)
Bell-sleeved short chiffon shifts were embroidered with densely bright florals of Taylor's own design, harking back to the summer's vogue for thickly decorated Ukrainian peasant dresses. Frocks fell off the shoulder but caught on mid-bicep with loose swags, a neat and innately wearable answer to this folksy trend (especially, as Taylor noted, for the more "mature" woman). A pair of covetable dresses in embroidered gauze and floral checked mesh evoked cool Moroccan tiles—straightforwardly romantic with long sleeves and skirts that swirled around the shins, but loose enough from the body to imagine wearing in the late-summer heat. Most winning were the short-sleeved summer frocks, an easy sell in either a crimson dotted print or a more autumnal aubergine-tinted tartan, both seamed with covered buttons that crept, vinelike, around the figure and provided the possibility for creating or closing the skirt's slit.

I haven't had this in years and I had some cabbage that needed using up and thought these would go nicely with tonight's haddock..
The recipes doesn't actually specify cabbage and potato quantities. I had less than a quarter of a cabbage, it wasn't cooked so I shredded it and boiled for a few minutes. I didn't actually have any leftover mash either but I had one large potato left in the cupboard so I cooked and mashed that!
They were mixed together with some seasoning..
So from the recipe I thought I was to cook this altogether but I decided to make three separate ones. It is quite a wet mixture and at first it looked a bit messy in the pan and was almost falling apart!
After about 20 minutes and a couple of turns they had firmed up and bit..
They didn't really crisp up much, but I didn't want to leave cooking for too long, so once they were nicely browned I removed and we had these with haddock baked in cream..
These are really really soft. I was expecting them to be a bit firmed. Taste wise they are ok, I think they'd would've been better if I'd made with the nicer, outer leaves of the cabbage. It was good with the fish and a nice way to serve potatoes!!
Would I make this again? Yes.

Social Justice is Boring
I hate to break it to you, but social justice is boring.
The emotional cataclysm you feel at that Christian conference as the band plays the same four chords over and over might only happen once or twice if you decide to pursue a career in justice work. The steely resolve you are forming as you commit yourself to following Jesus to the ends of the earth will probably be useful, but usually not because of a dangerous encounter with a hostile government agent. Instead, you'll need it to break the simmering tension with your spouse or to gin up the courage to apologize to a co-worker.
If you pursue a life of ministry, you will get to do exciting things and see spiritual wonders every now and then. But mostly, you'll face the same struggles you have now, just with less air conditioning.
If you work in the West and keep some material comforts as you advocate on behalf of the poor, expect a lot of paperwork and meetings.
We like to tell stories about powerful encounters and lives changed. But most of those stories only happen after years spent studying the language, gaining trust, and learning from locals. Mind-blowing statistics about lives changed represent a long period of time and lots of grueling effort.
Daring raids will sometimes rescue slaves, big rallies might galvanize a social movement, and powerful sermons can lead to many decisions for Christ. However, to ensure that people remain safe, movements endure, and disciples grow in their faith, you have to build institutions–preferably institutions that are self-sustaining.
Many poor people don't need a one-time infusion of goodwill–they need stable social structures so they can carry out business, move around safely, and get help when they need it.
"Empowering the poor" is becoming a sexier concept in development work nowadays, but it remains just as messy as it has always been. It's not easy to convey the day-in, day-out work of institution-building from a distance in a newsletter, and it certainly won't show up in gripping viral videos. Working together to build such institutions is tedious and takes far more work than just giving stuff away, but few other paths lead to sustainable change.
There are groups out there that promise to do amazing things in very short periods of time. A few of them actually get good things done, but most don't leave any sort of lasting impact. And some leave a bad impact by sowing distrust. If you jump in expecting immediate fulfillment and great results, you'll either end up doing work that is harmful in the long run, or you'll be consistently disappointed with your lack of conference-worthy stories.
You might say, "Gee, full-time social justice work sounds like any other kind of work, only for less money in more dangerous places." Well, you're right! The good news is that you don't need to be particularly adventurous or skilled to do the work of justice and mercy. If you're good at doing the same thing over and over again and patiently waiting to see results, you have what it takes to be a missionary or a full-time advocate wherever you are.
This slow-and-steady concept also means that we can reassess how we think about support. If missionaries aren't heroes looking for a pedestal to stand on as much as they are stewards of power looking to build sustainable institutions, then they need friends and partners who are just as steady and faithful as they are. Those of us who live on donations are not the singular fulcrums upon which social change tips; we are shaped and supported by an army of people whose daily lives help eke out the steady change that leads to flourishing.
But one aspect of the typical social justice mindset that is realistic is the opposition. Whether it's spiritual oppression from Satan or social oppression from those who benefit from injustice, there is always real pushback whenever God's people are proclaiming the truth in love.
This is one area where serious preparation is always necessary. However, just as David's fight with Goliath was preceded by years in the wilderness guarding sheep (hardly a thrill-a-minute sort of job), preparing for the spiritual battles of establishing justice requires daily repetition of the same spiritual disciplines that any other Christian would practice.
Anyone can–and should–participate in "changing the world" by loving others and sacrificing resources for the sake of the poor and the lost.
The best way to do this involves faithfully persevering in one particular field (whether as a full-time worker or a part-time partner) and build reliable institutions that propagate mercy, proclaim the truth, and guard the dignity of people who might otherwise suffer injustice.
It may seem boring, but in a culture that fetishizes novelty, few things are as revolutionary and worthwhile as steady discipline in doing good.

Log out. Turn off. Switch on.
By Sue Hassall, Duke of Edinburgh Award Coordinator
Did screens dominate your children's time in the holidays? Were they online far too much?
Dr Richard Harris and Dr Craig Challen, the 2019 joint Australians of the Year, hope they can inspire others, especially children, about the rewards of outdoor adventuring and how it broadens perspective. "As an adventurer, I would like to try and inspire kids to get outside", Dr Harris said, "helicopter parenting's become a thing but we all need to just relax a little bit I think and take a step back and find a balance that we've lost, as kids need to find their inner explorer". (The Canberra Times)
Radford College is already striving to achieve this goal with our extensive whole school Outdoor Education Program. Additionally, in January, nine year 12 students navigated their way through the high country in Kosciuszko National Park to complete their four-day Gold Duke of Edinburgh 'training Adventurous Journey'.
They planned, carried and cooked their food and located water. They managed comfortably in extremes of weather and learnt about breaking goals into small achievable sections. Working as a team, they navigated accurately and learnt about the landscape and vegetation which allowed for wise decisions about the most energy efficient routes to choose. These students now have the skills to plan their 'qualifying Adventurous Journey' and move towards finishing their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Log out from the screens. Turn off the devices. Switch on. Encourage your children to undertake their Duke of Edinburgh Award - 2019 is the time to find their 'inner explorer'.

When a hurricane hits, the damage that it does to the wider community can be enormous – catastrophic in many cases. However, it always helps when the resident superhero gets the chainsaw out and goes to work. That's what one man in Bradenton, FL, did after the hurricane had smashed the place up. People began to notice someone dressed as the one and only Spider-Man cleaning up, cutting down a fallen tree with his chainsaw!
The first person to spot him was Cheryl Hanbury, who immediately posted it online to her Facebook page, adding: "Omg! Just walked out the front door and found Spider-Man helping chainsaw down the huge tree covering our road! *Just snapped with iPhone, totally original, no photo shopping & no it's not my husband lol. Just a cool thing that happened in front of my house of Riverview Blvd in Bradenton, Florida after Irma,
"Spider-Man worked the tree, then swung off and jumped in his little black pickup with a friend and flew off!" added Hanbury. "I do not know why he was dressed as Spider-Man, nor do I know the name or identity of the masked man."
After such a rough few days, it was nice to see people go this extra mile to try and help the community share a few laughs. The storm was brutal and done a lot of damage, but the little things can help to restore our spirit and our faith in the world around us. It is safe to say, then, that Spider-Man was still out and about helping communities heal after this!
The photos are amazing, right? What an image. If you are ever involved in any kind of disaster and want to help the community hug together and start healing as one, then consider a bit of light-hearted fun like this to bring everyone together again.

Google Buys YouTube...
Yesterday, Google announced that it has purchased the video-sharing website YouTube for $1.65 billion. This can be looked at as 1) a rousing Web 2.0 success story for YouTube, a company which is still not profitable and has only 67 employees, and 2) a highly questionable investment on behalf of Google.
Clearly, Google aims to increase its standing in the emerging internet video hosting market. Google Video, a wannabe YouTube, has only 10% market share, despite its integration with the Google search engine. YouTube is the dominant New Media front runner, and despite its lack of profitability and few assets, its brand recognition alone justifies its acquisition.
But what has many observers on the edge of their seats is, as Mark Cuban has described, whether Google is opening itself up to lawsuits over copyright violations because of all of the unlicensed videos on YouTube. YouTube is already facing a tidal wave of litigation from the music and movie industries. The courts have not yet ruled whether sites like YouTube even have the right to exist in cyberspace, as they are being labelled as being little more than facilitators of piracy and copyright infringement.
The copyright issue could spell disaster for Google shareholders who will now be on the hook, in a legal sense. Not that they seem to mind too much yet. After the announcement, Google stock rose 8.5% on the day.
Wired poses the following question: Does Google have the cajones to go to bat for its new step-child and get the necessary media deals in ink? Or will Google get spanked by the MPAA, RIAA, and Google shareholders, thus bringing all of the recent momentum in the online video sharing world to a screeching halt?
Google's multi-billion dollar bankroll might be exactly what supporters of YouTube and user-generated content on the internet have been hoping for - finally having ample means to fight back against Hollywood and the music industry. However, the acquisition is still a little disheartening. Will every promising New Media and Web 2.0 startup get bought out by the giant corporate behemoths?
My only consolation is that at least YouTube was bought by Google and not by Apple :-)

Tablets are the most shelf-stable choice and retain their potency over a longer time (2-3 years) compared to liquids, powders and most capsules. Tablets can be offered in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Tablets are coated with sugar or similar substances, which means that the drug contained in it will not immediately enter the blood stream. But, the drug in the capsules is known to enter the blood stream immediately. As long as you choose product from a reputable manufacturer, formulate it based on nutrient synergy and take it as directed, you do not need to worry about absorption issues with tablets.
Drawbacks: Large tablets can be hard for some people to swallow (they can be crushed just before use). Tablets do not offer the flexibility of dosing that liquids and powders do.

My nephew has just visited Lithuania in search of ties to the various strands of his family – one strand being my wife's parents' family. This prompted me to contemplate (again) the fate of my own ancestors and the communities in which they lived.
Most of the Jews of South Africa came from Lithuania – as did three of my four grandparents. At one time there were 250,000 Jews there, much smaller than the 3 million in Poland, where reportedly ninety percent of the world's rabbis lived and died in the holocaust; but it was a great center of Jewish learning and of Jewish commercial achievement, notwithstanding that many Jews lived impoverished lives in very small villages (like Varna from where my paternal grandparents came). Pretty much all of the Jews who were there in 1941 were murdered and there are very few left there today, maybe a few thousand.
What may not be widely known is that the Jews of Lithuania did not die in the gas chambers. The Nazis started systematically exterminating Jews (and other "undesirables") before the "final solution" of the gas chambers was put into effect. Instead, hundreds of thousands of east European Jews (not only in Lithuania) were lined up in the woods in front of their own graves that they were made to dig, and shot by groups of soldiers and local collaborators known as einsatzgruppen.
A couple of things strike me about this.
One is that for every one Nazi there were five local collaborators. The Lithuanians were particularly culpable in this – worse even than the Poles. Without their collaboration the project could not have been carried out.
Second, it is testimony to the effectiveness of old-fashioned (low-tech) technology in achieving a high death count – something that became quite evident later in the case of Ruanda. The Nazis moved from hands-on, face to face murder to gas chambers reportedly not for efficiency reasons, but because of the "emotional stress" that the firing squads caused the Nazi soldiers. [Ultimately the einsatzgruppen killed between 5 and 6 million people, of which about 1.3 million were Jews. The most famous atrocity occurred at Babi Yar.]
There is not much left of a once great Jewish civilization in Lithuania. In the 1950's the Soviets destroyed most Jewish cemeteries to make room for development and those that remain in the small villages have been badly vandalized and defaced.
As far as I know there has been no Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Lithuania and reportedly anti-Semitic sentiment is still quite common. [But see also here.]

EARLY — An opportunity to level their District 6-3A volleyball record at 1-1 slipped through the Early Lady Horns' fingertips Tuesday night as the Eastland Lady Mavs rallied from a two sets-to-none deficit to claim a five-set victory.
Early (0-2 in district) put an apparent stranglehold on the match with victories of 25-21 and 25-13 in the first two sets, but everything came unraveled for the Lady Horns as an increased number of unforced errors allowed Eastland (1-1 in district) to claim the final three sets, 25-16, 25-13, 15-13.
"This was the toughest loss of the season," said Lady Horns first-year head coach Natalie Whitewood. "We lost a game we should have won. Tomorrow we get back to work and persevere and keep working until we get it right."
In the tie-breaking fifth set, Early jumped out to a 6-3 lead thanks in part to kills from Ellie Ryan and Lainey Speck, along with one from Emma Loven on the back row. But in a mirror image of earlier in the match, Eastland dug itself out of a hole with four straight points to grab a 7-6 edge.
A kill from Jenna Whitehead allowed Early to pull even at 7-all, but Eastland fired back with the next two points. A spike by Ryan and a tip from Kacee Gober again knotted the score at 9.
Eastland tallied three of the next four points, but a block from Gober closed the gap to 12-11 and, following an errant hit by the Lady Mavs, another kill from Whitehead evened the score at 13.
The Lady Mavs, however, chalked up two quick points to complete the improbable comeback.
Ryan recorded a team-best nine kills followed by Gober with six, Speck, Whitehead and Trinity Tomlinson with four each, Loven and Hope Boswell with two apiece and Morgan Luckie and Vance-Cady Gordon with one each.
CyLee Tyson dished out 17 assists, Gordon added 10 and Ryan and Speck were credited with one each.
Brilee Tabor tallied a team-high two aces while Tyson, Speck and Tomlinson each served one.
On the defensive end, Tomlinson notched 25 digs trailed by Loven with 20, Tyson with 11, Speck and Hallie Brinson with seven each, Gober with six, Gordon with four, Tabor with three, Whitehead with two, and Ryan and Boswell with one apiece.
At the net, Gober collected eight blocks, Ryan tallied two and Speck finished with one.
In the opening set, Early raced out to a 9-3 lead on two kills and a block for points by Gober, along with a kill from Speck. Eastland pulled even at 12, however, and eventually seized a 20-18 advantage. The Lady Horns tallied seven of the final eight points, however, as consecutive aces from Tabor allowed Early to knot the score at 21, then take a 22-21 lead. Boswell added a kill for the 23rd point, then a couple of Eastland miscues ended the set.
Early grabbed a 12-4 advantage in the second set with a kill from Tomlinson, an ace from Tyson and a block by Gober, while Eastland continued to hurt itself with unforced errors. The Lady Mavs closed the gap to 13-10, but a kill by Ryan triggered a run of nine straight Lady Horn points. Leading 20-13, Gober's tip stretched the lead back to eight points, while Eastland mistakes resulted in Early's final four points.
In the third and fourth sets, Early never led as the Lady Horns were plagued by their own run of unforced errors. The Lady Horns fell behind 4-0 in the third set and allowed 11 of the first 17 points, followed by giving up 12 of the first 16 in the fourth set.
Early will attempt to bounce back at Bangs (0-2 in district) at noon Saturday.

The Apart Champ-4 is a high end convection cooled, low impedance 4 channel power amplifier without a cooling fan for excellent reliability. Offering 4 x 80 watt RMS (4 ohm). Will drive at 2, 4 or 8 ohms.
Power amplifiers have to operate in demanding circumstances where the air is full of dust and / or grease. This can cause problems with the cooling fan and inturn affect the reliability of the amp.
A fanless amplifier seems the logical solution to long term reliability as well as being virtually silent in operation.
Additionally, Apart have designed the unique, side mount heat sinks. In combination with a self-supporting low resonance frame, they make it possible to create a discrete high power amplifier without a fan inside the enclosure. This means less maintenance, no regular fan or dust filter exchange procedure, no more amplifier cleanout, and no more unwanted noise from cooling fans.
APC Power Management
APC power management circuitry is one of the most intelligent amplifier protection circuits ever designed, simply because it does the job without interfering with the typical dynamic character of music. APC allows the user to preset the power potential of the amplifier, while maintaining high power reserves thus producing high, clean power. It constantly analyses incoming music signals and keeps dynamics alive. An additional ultra fast peak limiter avoids amplifier clipping.
Bridging amplifiers and bridging channels
Champ4 is a four channel amplifier equipped with a crossover. Two of the channels can be bridged for use as a subwoofer channel. The two remaining channels can be used for the top speakers.
- Bridge-mono operation 8 ohm 130W
- 4 channel mode 8 ohm 60W / ch
- 4 channel mode 4 ohm 80W / ch

Comcast ups Sky bid to $34 billion, escalating battle with Rupert Murdoch
Comcast reportedly increased its bid for Sky to $34 billion Thursday, topping Fox's $32 billion offer.
The quick counteroffer suggests that the war to seize control of Britain's biggest pay-TV company is heating up, since the previous bid was $31 billion from Comcast in April.
The increased pace of bidding caused Sky shares to rise 3.2 percent in London Thursday, with investors anticipating further bids, Bloomberg reports.
Neither Comcast nor Sky immediately responded to requests for comment.
Fox already owns 39.14 percent of Sky, but this effort to get a stronger hold on its entertainment assets is an element of Disney's possible $71.3 billion Fox takeover.
In the US, it has been in a separate bidding war with Comcast — the nation's largest cable TV provider — to buy 21st Century Fox's film and TV studios.
Fox owns major franchises including X-Men, Deadpool, Kingsmen and Planet of the Apes. It also owns animated films such as Ice Age and TV assets including The Simpsons and network FX.

Shoulders, not Hands, Determine a Complete Backswing
Many golfers try to make a complete backswing based on how far their hands and arms go back. In reality, your backswing is completed when your shoulders have made a full turn. Turn hands, arms and shoulders together on the backswing. Once your shoulders have finished turning, trying to make the hands and arms go any further may cause them to veer off plane. Don't get caught up in completing the swing with your hands. Regardless of how far the hands and arms get, when the shoulders are done turning, the backswing is finished.
If you're a moderate swing speed golfer, you still want a golf ball to offer
you performance everywhere, with no compromises.
The Srixon AD333 Tour is specifically designed
to give you distance off the tee, stable ball flight in windy conditions, stopping power on approach shots,
check and control around the green, and all
with the feel the best golfers demand.
This is a premium performance golf ball without the premium price. If you're a regular golfer,
playing probably a 2-pce golf ball, then trial a sleeve of the Srixon AD333 Tour.
Check the all-round performance, but especially note the greenside spin.
We're trying to help you make more 3's on the Par 3's.
Better decision-making is going to improve your scores.
Despite the increased amount of GPS data available, regular and inexperienced golfers still,
on the majority of occasions, come up short.
Even when a golfer knows the "yardage" on each of their clubs,
their misses are mostly short.
Simple Tip #2
Why are you expecting the perfect golf shot? What is your level of consistency?
If there's no trouble behind
the green, then ignore the
distance to the flag, and pick a
club that, when struck well,
will get you to the back of
the green. That way a less
than perfect ball strike has
a chance of getting to
the green. Rarely do even
good ball strikers
make perfect contact.
Where are the majority of your misses on all approach shots?
Would aiming for the back of the green (assuming no trouble behind the hole)
be a course management strategy that would improve your whole round?
Improving your performance on Par 3's will probably increase your enjoyment
throughout the round. Think about improvement. If we can help,

Quarterbacks Coach, Jenni Wahlberg, is proud that her trio of quarterbacks are all very capable of stepping up to lead the Finnish offence, each with their own particular skill sets that benefit the position.
As a former All-Star Maple Leagues legend who was with the Finnish National team when they won their 2015 championship, Wahlberg knows what it takes to win on the international scene:
"Each of our Quarterbacks is very capable of leading the offence, and each in their own way. Janina and Pia are veterans for the National team, though it'll be Janina's first time stepping up as Quarterback. Finally, Emilia is on the National Team roster for the first time, but the former Wide Receiver-turned-Quarterback for the Tampere Saints has already become an integral part of the team."

As my manuscript for The Ashes of Heaven's Pillar, a tale of the lengths a medieval Saxon mother will go to protect her children, awaits the copy editor, I am compiling a list of tweaks to make. For instance, mention that the Saxon family has to go through the city of Cologne to reach the west gate.
But there is one note where I wrote, "Never mind. Was right the right time."
It is about tonsures. When Merovingian Queen Mother Itta converted a royal Frankish villa to a double monastery at Nivelles, she had her daughter Saint Gertrude tonsured to protect the girl's virtue.
Nuns were tonsured? Well they did cut their hair close, the result of which was hidden under a veil. And this abbey for monks and nuns might have started out as following the Rule of Saint Columbanus or something close to it. The clerics who consulted Saint Gertrude were Irish.
So I though I would need to tweak Anglo-Saxon priest Father Osbald's response to nine-winter-old Sunwynn's question, "Do we have to shave our hair in that strange way?"
But by the mid-eighth century, most abbeys were shifting to Benedictine rule, and Nivelles likely was one of them at that time. So Father Osbald reply is still, "No, child. The tonsure is an honor reserved only for men of the clergy."
As part of my research into tonsures, I encountered a controversy over exactly what hairstyle eighth century male clerics were supposed to wear. Visit English Historical Fiction Authors for my post on a tiff over tonsures.

Powerful Simplicity: The latest SHARP 1100W microwaves makes cooking easy
Published: 13 Feb 2017
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 13th February 2017 –Sharp Corporation of Australia would like to introduce its latest range in home cooking with the R330EW and R330ES high-powered microwave ovens. Exclusive to 'The Good Guys' stores, the new design explores convenience in the kitchen, as it is designed specifically with Australian families in mind. This mid-sized microwave, available in White or Silver fascia is suitable for everyday cooking, defrosting and reheating with 3 memory key settings for frequently used programs.
"At Sharp Australia, we are continually looking at ways to evolve our product offerings based on feedback from Australian families." Said Halim Saliman, National Marketing Manager at Sharp Corporation of Australia. "These new high-powered microwaves provide our customers with a mid-size option that saves them time while also providing their favourite menus and features."
The new range is rated at 1100W and comes with 11 Microwave Power levels ranging from 0% to 100%. This added level of flexibility allows finer control to accurately defrost, cook or reheat a wide range of foods with ease.
Sharp Australia is firmly committed to meeting Australia's cooking preferences. All menus, auto/manual cooking charts and recipes for Sharp microwave ovens are developed and tested with locally sourced produce and the Australian consumer in mind. The R330EW and R330ES have 9 popular auto menus that have been tested and developed to provide efficient and convenient cooking and reheating. These menus have been automatically programmed with a time and microwave power level to ensure food is cooked or reheated to perfection. Auto menus include Fresh Vegetables, Rice and Pasta, Melt/ Soften (Butter, Chocolate, Cream Cheese), Reheat Beverage, Dinner Plate and Casserole.
The Weight Defrost feature is very useful when it comes to defrosting 4 popular varieties of meat. The appropriate defrosting time required to defrost meat weighing from 500g to 2000g can easily be selected using this auto program, removing any guess work and ensuring your meat is carefully defrosted.
The R330EW and R330ES also allows for a two-stage cooking sequence making it possible to combine multiple microwave power levels and cooking times for dishes that require various stages of cooking or reheating. The units also feature a memory function with the option to store three frequently used microwave power levels and cook times. Additionally, for added convenience, the microwaves have a quick start function for a quick 30 second burst of 100% power cooking or can be used to add 30 seconds to cooking already in progress. Finally, the simple kitchentTimer function can be used in everyday cooking, turning the microwave display into a handy countdown timer.

An Israel-based company that has its small U.S. operations based in Charlotte has started construction on a $27 million plant here to produce electricity from food waste.
The 5.2-megawatt plant is being built on 6 acres off Johnson Road in northeast Charlotte. It is owned by Blue Sphere Corp. of Evan Yehuda, Israel. Financing was arranged by Entropy Investment Management.
The work is being managed by engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor Austep, according to a published report in Biomass Magazine.
Entropy is a Charlotte renewable-energy investment firm that last year bought a majority stake in the former Argand Energy Solutions here.
The 5.2 MW facility for generating electricity from biogas derived from organic biomass (primarily food waste) will utilize anaerobic digestion (a process that breaks down organic material) to produce biogas (primarily methane and carbon dioxide), from which electricity will be generated, Blue Sphere reports.
Preliminary long-term agreements have been reached for the supply of biomass input from large companies (e.g. LoIs with large-scale haulers) and a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) for the sale of electricity output, the company says.

You've heard of computer hacking and likely employed more than a few life hacks. Now let us introduce you to the newest trend in hacking: biohacking.
One of our major wellness trends of 2018, biohacking is a little less nerdy than digital hacking and a more targeted approach at living your best life than life hacking. "Biohacking refers to the incorporation of small consistent changes that change the performance of the human body or mind in measurable ways," explains our biohacking expert, Meghan Walker.
"The easiest and most impactful biohacks come from the modification of things you do or take on a daily basis"
In other words, it's totally doable and a pretty badass way to optimize your health and well being. In fact, if you're reaching for Bulletproof coffee in the morning, popping probiotics, or downing a shot of ACV to improve your gut health, you're already doing a few of the more common biohacks.
While the biohacking community embraces some pretty big changes, like the ketogenic diet, we wanted to know about some less intense changes we can make on a daily basis to hack our own biology.
"The easiest and most impactful biohacks come from the modification of things you do or take on a daily basis," Walker told us. Aside from the apps (which we covered in our intro to biohacking), here are a few of Walker's favorite hacks:
- Hack your Hydration – Add chlorophyll to water. It helps the taste and supports daily liver and skin health.
- Hack your Immune System – End your showers on cold. Even better, contract your showers between hot and cold, always ending on cold. This is excellent at increasing energy, focus, and immune health.
- Hack your Fat Burning Potential – Stop eating by 7pm. The longer you can go between your last meal of the day and your first meal the next morning, the more ketones (brain energy) you will produce. This will also predispose our body to burn fat for fuel.
- Hack your Nervous System – Meditation and mindfulness have been shown to support cognitive stimulation and nervous system relaxation unlike any other rival.
- Hack your Sleep – Melatonin is necessary for sleep. It is interrupted and delayed when you receive blue light from the back of a screen prior to sleep. Consider a book or, if you enjoy some screen time after dinner, try some blue blocking shades.
- Hack your Brain – Nootropics are brain boosting substances that serve to increase cognitive functionality. These should be used under the advisement of a healthcare practitioner, but may include vitamin D, magnesium, and botanicals such as curcumin or bacopa monera.
But it's not all fun and fasting. Aside from just trying out a few of these actions, we need to make sure we're tracking our progress and measuring how our bodies react to these changes.
"Biohacking is equal parts quantification and action," explains Walker. "In other words, you can't improve what you don't measure. All of the fancy hacks are fun, but part of the power, and frankly fun, of biohacking, comes from measuring data points related to your health. Heart rate variability, blood sugar and more advanced testing such stool analysis and advanced hormonal assessments are all within the biohacking arsenal."
This is one way to embrace our inner nerd that we can totally get behind.

The FIRM SystemThe IM program organizes its general medicine inpatient and outpatient services into a "Firm" system. A "Firm" consists of a group of residents and faculty that function as a cooperative group practice throughout the 3 years of training. The Firm system enhances the continuity of care of patients in and out of the hospital. There are two large Firm Teams: White and Green (the MSU colors). The White and Green Teams are further divided into 3 clinic teams, forming a total of 6 resident clinics, each with 5 residents.
Each resident clinic team works together as an ambulatory group practice. Whenever possible, a member of each clinic team is assigned to the inpatient general medicine service, so that continuity clinic patients requiring admission can be cared for by a team colleague in the hospital.
While assigned to the inpatient general medicine wards, residents work with their White or Green Team colleagues, in order to maintain continuity of patient care and to build strong collegial relationships. Because these general medicine wards are cared for with the Firm structure, the inpatient ward rotations are also called "Firm rotations."
The inpatient Firm rotation rounding groups are therefore composed of representatives from the resident clinic groups. Inpatient Firm rounding groups consist of:
- 1 attending
- 1 PGY-2 or PGY-3

How many times have we, as radio enthusiasts, thumbed through a catalog and found a kit radio, stirring up visions of listening to far-away stations from exotic climes? Here is a broadcast band (AM) receiver that a Ham radio operator built and used to listen to KAAY (even though it was 2007), as well as many other stations (see his station log):
Don't let the technical details bother you...I just thought it was pretty neat, copying a 1920's design!
Any kit builders out there?
