wrapping things up...
I watch this blanket blow in the breeze on the washing line, the shadows from the leaves behind, dancing across it. We have almost finished packing my mother in law's life away, neatly into boxes and I think I will keep this blanket out and wrap it around my family, especially on those colder winter nights ahead. I realise we are fine and for each knock we take it binds us closer together as a family, understanding how each other feels and making each other laugh. It is surprising quite how much humour and laughter is found at times of sadness isn't it? I received a lovely book in the post yesterday, from a lovely friend, who I haven't seen for a very long time and with whom I share a very painful memory of loosing someone we both held dear, who passed away far too early in life. The book is really helpful as a prompt to read to the boys and to discuss any feelings and memories that they may have and wish to talk about. Thank you Em, your kindness has touched us all x

Welcoming Winter
Sarah Chaffee, January 16, 2018
Forest Preschool
Forest Preschool came back to a snow-covered forest after a two week holiday break. While climbing up a giant pile of snow and making snow sculptures, they excitedly shared stories from their winter adventures. During Opening Circle, Sarah said that during her break she tracked a fox while hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail. She wondered if there were any fox tracks at 4-H Acres and if so, could Forest Preschool find them? The children were up for the challenge and grabbed their backpacks with their eyes glued to the ground in search for animal tracks. Together the group made the trek through deep snow to the tepee. Along the way there were many track discoveries that brought many questions. "Where was this creature going and why?" "Was this a big animal or a small one?" "How many toes does it have?" In the tipi the children had snack and listened to an epic tale of a brave girl named Whispy told by Jesse. After snack the preschoolers led the way to Trillium Camp and used buckets and shovels to make snow cakes. They decorated the cakes with stick candles, dried leaves and ice from the frozen creek.

On Tuesday at Opening Circle under the oak tree, the preschoolers led the group in animal form stretches. They each picked an animal and showed everyone how it moves while the rest copied their movements. They walked like bears, slithered like snakes and hopped like rabbits through the snow. Afterwards they headed down to camp, excited to see if any critters had visited in the night. Jesse brought the children under the bridge to look for tracks, explaining that the bridge protects them from snow, rain and wind and it's a good place to check everyday for fresh prints. The preschoolers also enjoyed making fairy houses out of ice and snow with Siri, a Primitive Pursuits' instructor. By the end of the day they had made an entire fairy village!

During Opening Circle on Wednesday, the preschoolers played a game of Fox and Rabbit tag. The game is played in a circle where everyone can only run forward. One person is the fox while the rest are rabbits, who run around the circle to avoid getting caught. After several rounds of the game Sarah revealed a message she found on a piece of birch bark by the ice fairy village. The note was a series of strange symbols that Sarah believed was the language of the Winter Fairies. The message read- "Thank you for giving us houses to live. Now we've got presents and treasures to give. Travel forth and go. Your treasure is buried in the snow." The children grabbed their bags and rushed down to camp in search of the hidden treasure. Sarah showed them where she found the note and they began to dig through the snow, finding shells and blue gems along the way. After their pockets were filled with presents from the fairies, the children gathered for snack. Jesse told a story about a lost boy who was found by a fox and a group of fairies who worked together to use their tracking skills to find him. When snack had ended the group went on a wander to gather white pine needles for tea, which they enjoyed around a warm fire at lunch.

Thursday was a noticeably warmer day at Forest Preschool. The children said the snow felt more wet than previous days and that they thought the creek wouldn't be frozen. They walked down to Trillium Camp to see if their predictions were correct, stopping along the way to observe a track that mysteriously disappeared at the base of a tree. The preschoolers made some guesses as to how that could have happened- "Maybe it flew away." "I think it climbed up the tree." "Maybe it went down the hill." At camp the children enjoyed making snow cakes and climbing the Climbing Hill, which they pretended was Mt. Everest. The melting snow made the hill slippery but the preschoolers worked together to get to the top, often reaching out a hand to help pull someone else up. After snack they played a tracking game where one group hid while another followed their tracks to find them. The children learned how to tell what direction someone is traveling based on their print. At lunch they roasted apples by a warm fire while listening to stories and enjoying the sunny day.

On Thursday Homeschool divided into two clans to explore the forests at 4-H Acres. Monica and Hillary-Joy brought their group, who named themselves the Mystery Clan, to the large creek where they found lots of animal tracks. The clan followed these tracks through the woods, noticing how some of them stayed on the man-made trail, while others veered off into the trees. They worked on improving their tracking skills by having a group hide while the rest used clues, like tracks, broken twigs and other signs of disturbance, to find them. The Mystery Clan also found coyote scat! Hillary-Joy explained how to differentiate coyote scat from other animals' scat by explaining its "pointy" appearance and by observing the fur that could be seen from its last meal.
Homeschoolers leading a blindfolded Danielle out of the forest.
Danielle and Elias adventured to the Beaver Pond, where they dubbed themselves the Beaver Clan. There they did a one-match fire challenge, searching their surroundings for good, dry tinder and making sure to clear a place in the snow for their mini-fires. For one homeschooler this was his first time successfully making a fire! While exploring their base camp, the clan found raccoon tracks, deer scat and could tell by the bedded-down snow where deer had chosen to take a rest during the day.

The Beaver Clan decided to create a song that told to story of their day. They used sticks, rocks and their own hands to create a beat while the rest staggered their voices in a multi-layered song. Some of the words sung by various members of the clan included- deer scat, raven and hawk, cold feet, burnt sandwiches. At the end of the day Danielle and Elias blindfolded themselves and had the homeschoolers lead them back to the log circle. They blindly walked over ice and through deep snow, but had the help and encouragement of their fellow clan members the whole time. Together they successfully made it out of the woods in time for Closing Circle.

Winter Explorers
This was the first week of Wilderness Explorers, a brave group that travels to forests far and wide, testing their skills and knowledge along the way. On Thursday they went to Hammond Hill where they played an epic game of Compass Tag. In this game a circle is made in the snow with a cross in the center. One person is "it" while the rest run around the circle and through the two intersecting lines to escape getting tagged.

The warm weather made the snow perfect for building things. The explorers challenged each other to see who could create the largest snow ball. Their snow balls started off small, but as they rolled them over more and more snow, they increased in size until they had several ginormous snow balls!

They also made snow bears, using rocks for their eyes and nose and sticks for their claws. At the end of the day, the explorers' fire and stalking skills were put to the test. They divided into two teams, both with the goal of starting a fire while also trying to sabotage the opposing teams' attempts at building a fire. They did this while sneaking up on their rivals and launching snowballs into their fire pit.

Thank you for reading! We're so happy to be back in the woods, sharing stories, tracking animals and making fires.

This "accident" is over 30 years old, but could this new information be the missing piece of the puzzle?
Dr. Phil brought Dennis Davern on his show to discuss the mysterious death of actress Natalie Wood. The incident occurred back in 1981 on a yacht that Dennis was captaining.
Natalie drowned while on a pleasure cruise aboard the 55-foot boat Splendor with husband Robert Wagner and their friend, actor Christopher Walken. Initial reports claimed that she went missing while Robert and Christopher fought. Once everyone realized that she was missing, her body was found a mile away from the yacht.
The death was ruled an accident at the time, and no charges have ever been brought against Robert. But the investigation was reopened in 2011 after Captain Davern came forward with new recollections about the night. He even traveled with authorities to Hawaii, where the ship is now anchored, to conduct tests and prove his new claims.
"Do you believe Robert Wagner murdered Natalie Wood?" asks Dr. Phil on the new episode of his show.
The captain doesn't hesitate before responding, "Yes, I really do."
The former captain goes on to claim that he heard Robert and Natalie fighting that night, that they were throwing items around their room. It's too soon to know if anything will come of these new recollections, but it sounds like investigators believe Dennis Davern's story.

Senate Tax extenders in the House!!!!!!!!!!
Today, December 15, 2010 the Senate passed the tax extenders bill by a vote of 81-19. The House is projected to begin consideration of this legislation tomorrow, December 16.
The Senate version of the tax extenders bill contains reforms to the estate tax. The Senate language would tax families at 35 percent on property worth over $5 million. If the estate tax issue is not dealt with before January 1, 2011, the estate tax will revert to its original form of a tax rate of 55% on property worth over $1 million. The 35% rate in the Senate language is making some members of the House think the estate tax is too expensive and should be amended to a 45 percent tax rate on estates worth more than $3.5 million.
Colorado Farm Bureau is in strong support of the estate tax provision as passed by the Senate.
What you need to do is call your representative IMMEDIATELY! The main Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 and they can transfer you to your representative's office. Urge your representative to support the estate language as passed by the Senate. Agriculture cannot afford for Congress to play political games with the estate tax issue. The House needs to accept the Senate estate tax language and pass the bill before adjourning for the year.
Colorado Representatives:
Diana DeGette-1st Congressional district
Jared Polis- 2nd Congressional district
John Salazar- 3rd Congressional district
Besty Markey- 4th Congressional district
Doug Lamborn- 5th Congressional district
Mike Coffman- 6th Congressional district
Ed Perlmutter- 7th Congressional district

Hi Lisa,
I am sorry that no one has responded or reached to you. I want to first say I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I cant say I know what you are going through as people grieve differently. I lost my son to gun violence in 2012. It feels like yesterday though. Someone just told me about this site about a month ago but I have only visited once. I just so happen to visit the site today because I wanted to post a message to the mothers to come out to a STOP THE VIOLENCE Event that I have personally funded and planned for this weekend. I am actually having a 5k run as well this saturday starting at American Way Park at American Way and Goodlett. I welcome you to come out. I would also welcome a call from you whenever you want to talk. We can go to lunch or botanical garden or anywhere within reason in the city. You have my support.
There will be a vigil right before the run. You should come out and release a balloon and light a candle for your child. Lisa, I pray for your comfort during this time and forever. God loves you and so do I.......continue to be blessed!
When you call I can provide you with some resources if you remain interested.
I can be reached at 9018304180. (JoAnn)

Questions, pleas for advice and letters from CyberParent surfers.
Our readers ask questions about being a stepparent.Letters from CyberParent readers.
StepParents' Letters
Step Parenting
I just found your website tonight and have enjoyed reading it. I am writingto request information or organizations with information on stepparent rights.I married my husband last summer and gained a 5 year old daughter and almost 4year old son who are wonderful and have a great relationship with me. Really!My problem is that their mother who has already been remarried and divorced inless than a year is interfering tremendously with our relationship. She doesnot allow me to call her home to speak with the children (she has physicalcustody), told my stepdaughter's school that I cannot be involved in theteacher conferences with my husband, says I cannot make doctor, dentist, andhair appointments for my stepkids, etc, doesnt let me hug them or tell thembye after visitation, she just takes them and runs to the car like she's goingfor a touchdown with 2 footballs in her hand. She has been a neglectfulparent to the children both physically, emotionally, financially, socially,morally, etc. We have gone to court 6 times to enforce court orders regardingour visitation and rights already granted to us by the court. We lost ourcustody hearing. So we are not interested right now in using lawyers or courtsystems to enforce our rights. I just want to know if there are any writtenlaws or written limitations on my involvement with my husbands kids. I cantbelieve that I am not allowed to call and set up an annual doctor checkup forthe kids. (Their mother does not take them to a doctor, dentist, or even gettheir haircut). I think the big problem is that she feels neglectful when wetake the responsibility to care for the children regularly, and we think sheis. I just dont want to do anything officially wrong. Can you help me?
Greetings,My husband has two children from his first marriage, a daughter, age15 and a son, age 11. He and his ex-wife have been divorced forabout six years. She has remarried also. The children live withher and have a typical visitation schedule with us – every otherweek-end and splitting holidays and the summer. We live about 50miles apart. The relationship between my husband and his ex-wifemwhile not always so rosy, is now fairly pleasant.My husband is a great father and, until recently, has had a goodrelationship with his kids. I too have had a good relationship withthem. We used to talk on the phone at least once a week, usuallymore often. Our week-ends were not Disneyland, but doing thingstogether and just hanging out.In the space of 6 months, it feels as if we are strangers with thekids. The kids no longer call us, unless they want something (liketo cancel week-end plans with us). They seem to be interested onlyin their friends and their lives at home (with their mother). Weseem to be out of sight, out of mind.We are intelligent, rational people. At their ages, we would hopethat they would want to spend time with their friends and have busy,fun lives. We are happy to hear about the fun things they aredoing.We are in a tough spot. If we call less often or cancel manyweek-ends, we go a long time without speaking to or seeing them. Onthe other hand, they seem to be not very interested in spending anytime with us.This past week-end was a three day week-end and we went to themountains. After being gone for two days, the 11 year old asked tocall his mother "just to say hi." We said of course, but had towonder (silently) how it is he can go two weeks without speaking tohis dad and not two days without speaking to his mom.Of course, my husband is very hurt by this and then I feel angrybecause I see this and the kids don't seem to or just don't care.Anyone else have this sort of situation?K
I think we have been in the same situation. My husband's daughter startedthis at age 13. Later the other daughter started it, too. She was only 12 at the time shestarted dragging her heels about leaving home. At first we were both hurt. But I talked toa friend of mine who is a school counselor and she suggested that it was probably thatteen-age-peer thing. The way she explained it, most children reach an age where nothing ismore important than their peers–seeing them, talking to them, etc. She suggested we justkeep in touch as usual, or do more of it through writing, etc. and wait it out. I can'tsay it doesn't hurt anymore but at least now we understand it is not really a personalagenda, just part of growing up.I did puzzle over the fact that the 11 year old wanted to call home. He may have wanted tosee if Mom said who called or came by looking for him.Hope this helps. Children can hurt you so much.

Republicans respond to State of the State, lay out party's agenda
Chris Ramirez
January 15, 2019 06:19 PM
SANTA FE, N.M.- Republicans responded to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's State of the State speech.
In the area of education, they tend to agree with the Democratic governor's agenda, which calls for an increase in teacher pay.
However, they disagree with governor's plan to lift the state's $50 million television tax incentive cap.
They thing the state is essentially sending money out of New Mexico to Hollywood.
"I'm real concerned about the film credit issue. There have been estimates that we spend $200,000 per job that we generate with that program and that is too much. Somehow it is not working right," said Steven Neville, Republican Steven Neville, Senate Minority Whip. "But to take $250 million out of our surplus is and that surplus is a godsend to us, we have huge needs across the state. We want to do things for teachers. We want to do things for infrastructure."
Republicans also warn about overspending the estimated $1.1 billion surplus
"Just because we have plenty now, does not relieve us of the requirement to be fiscally responsible," said Rep. James Townsend, House Minority Leader.
Rep. Townsend argues that some of the surplus should go back to New Mexicans.
"A lot of this money that has been generated should be returned to the taxpayers. That's the quickest way to put money back into mom and pop's pockets," he said.
The one thing Republicans said they will not debate about is increasing taxes on New Mexicans, especially since the state is working with a surplus.

A big Blue Cross plan is notifying some plan members of a privacy violation when an employee posted sensitive information on a public website earlier this spring and summer.
Independence Blue Cross, which has 8.5 million plan members in 28 states and Washington, D.C., including 2.5 million members in and around Philadelphia, says a file containing limited member information was mistakenly posted to a public website that was accessible between April 23 and July 20. The plan didn't say which specific website.
Certain information of about 17,000 plan members was viewable for several months. The information included members' names, dates of birth, diagnosis codes, provider information and other information used for claim processing purposes but not social security numbers, financial information or credit information, the plan says.
"Another Independence employee notified the privacy office on the same day that they discovered the subject file," a plan spokesman says. "We quickly launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of this incident, working with a leading forensics investigation firm to confirm what happened and what information may have been affected."
Independence Blue Cross provided some detail on how certain plan member information was mistakenly posted.
"Our investigation determined that an employee uploaded a file containing limited member information to a public-facing website of the employee's personal start-up company," the spokesman says.
For the plan members whose data was exposed, Independence Blue Cross says it is providing certain help such as 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection services.
Independence Blue Cross says it is taking measures against any future potential problems, although it didn't elaborate. "Upon learning of this incident, Independence quickly took steps to ensure the file was permanently removed from the website. Independence reviewed company policies and procedures and implemented additional technical controls to help prevent future incidents of this kind," the plan says.

Polo Is An Interesting New GTK3 File Manager (Beta)
|Polo file properties – audio info
|Polo bookmarks
Other Polo features worth mentioning:
- multiple views: list, icons, tiles and media;
- easily open folders as root (with pkexec support);
- extended details when replacing existing files;
- statusbar that displays the number of files, folders (including hidden), along with available disk space and a disk space indicator, and the filesystem type;
- bookmarks support (web browser-like: a star is displayed at the right of the pathbar);
- media view: when Polo detects you're browsing a folder containing photos or videos, it switches to a 256×256 size icon view to make it easier to browse through items;
- media info in the file properties dialog, which displays EXIF tags (such as exposure, iso, camera model and much more) and audio info (artist, album, track name, along with audio format, bit rate, etc.), PDF metadata, etc.
- tabs can be renamed;
- keyboard shortcuts;
- toolbar button and context menu to open current folder in a terminal.
Work in progress
While in my test, I only encountered two major bugs (very slow copying folders with a large number of files and the app crashes when entering a folder with a large number of images), there are a few major features that are missing, like support for drag'n'drop and trash, along with many missing bits and pieces (like type-ahead). And, of course, there are some bugs as well. But that's to be expected since Polo is beta software.
The next beta version is expected to be released on April 8.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS To Use GNOME By Default; Unity 8 And The Phone To Be Discontinued
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will go back to using GNOME as the default desktop environment, instead of Unity.
"I took the view that, if convergence was the future and we could deliver it as free software, that would be widely appreciated both in the free software community and in the technology industry, where there is substantial frustration with the existing, closed, alternatives available to manufacturers. I was wrong on both counts.
In the community, our efforts were seen fragmentation not innovation. And industry has not rallied to the possibility, instead taking a 'better the devil you know' approach to those form factors, or investing in home-grown platforms. What the Unity8 team has delivered so far is beautiful, usable and solid, but I respect that markets, and community, ultimately decide which products grow and which disappear".– Mark Shuttleworth

Artwork Basel
How do you proceed to grow and develop as a Effective Artwork Photographer? The key to capturing good photos of a lady on her marriage ceremony day is for a photographer to create a trusting relationship with the subject and to assessment the record of images the bride would like to see. This may be the most well-liked kind of images and positively one of many oldest.
Small images look nice with big thick frames while massive images can usually look better with thinner, less complicated frames. Black and white photographs give a vintage look. So images needed to grow to be emotionally intense, mystical, melodramatic, brooding, somber, and exotic.
The photographs are shot for any actual life object, place or things. We made it really, really easy for people to make a blog and put whatever they want on it. Stories, photos, GIFs, TV exhibits, links, quips, dumb jokes, sensible jokes, Spotify tracks, mp3s, movies, style, artwork, deep stuff.
All of the modes of photography have its personal set of significance, however Wedding pictures and bridal pictures are more attached to the entire life of two human beings and their families. Photomontage is likely one of the in style processing methods, in which the several photographs are coupled collectively.
Now the primary objection as to whether images is artwork sometimes is that a photograph is often a sensible depiction of a second taken with a machine and a few would say that "anyone can take an image." The implication is that the identical mechanical ability it might take to paint an image of sculpt a statue will not be wanted for photographic artwork.

08-04-06 – YOU MUST CHECK THIS BOOK OUT!!! I just started this new novel and so far I love it! How can you NOT love a book that starts with a chapter called "Manny Bullpucky Gets His Sorry Butt Hurled Off the Marine Park Bridge"?!?! Plus, it's written in first-person Brooklynese (like they speak in Brooklyn, New York). It's making me laugh out loud so far and I don't even really know what it's about yet! I think it has something to do with a kid named Calvin Schwa that is "invisible" to most people. I'm loving it so far. You should check it out!
08-05-06 – Okay, so the guy telling the story is named Anthony ("Antsy"), and he's hanging out with the Schwa because he likes that there's someone who's noticed even less than he is. He describes the Schwa as functionally invisible. His friends Howie and Ira, especially Ira, are kind of leery about hanging out with the Schwa. They discover that they can win basketball games with the Schwa because the guys on the other team don't notice him until it's too late. So, Antsy gets an idea and starts hiring out the Schwa to do things like spy on the teachers for the student officers. They also make lots of money taking dares like walking through the girls' locker room! Now, somebody has dared the Schwa to take a dog dish from the apartment of Mr. Crawley, the meanest, scariest old man in all of Brooklyn!
08-06-06 – Doh! They got busted by old man Crawley, so now they have to work for him for 12 weeks! Then, in the middle of it, Crawley gives Antsy a special assignment: he wants Antsy to keep his granddaughter company. What a twist! Ends up that there is something special about this girl. I won't tell you what it is; don't want to ruin it for you when you read it yourself. I do want to let you know that a really interesting situation develops between Antsy, the girl (Lexis, "like the car" but spelled different), and the Schwa. It's really getting good now!!
08-07-06 – I don't want to scare you away, but it just got deep. I mean, like serious, mature themes in this book! But even if you miss that stuff, everything else that's happening is so good. Crawley fell in the shower and broke his hip and wants Anthony to go with him. Seems old man Crawley actually likes the kid. They talk a while and find out more about each other and turns out that Anthony even kinda likes Crawley. Then Anthony finds out something that Lexie said about him, which makes the whole Antsy-Lexie-Schwa triangle even more complicated! Antsy tries to remember to head to the Schwa's house to smooth things over but gets sidetracked by a family meeting at his own house. Dad has some serious news about the aftermath of a major fight between him and Antsy's mother!
08-08-06 – You know, I tried to make it last but I don't think it's in my nature. I finished the book today! The last 80 pages I just couldn't put the book down, not even to answer the phone. I have a friend, Ms. Castañeda, who slows down at the end of really good books. She says she wants the pleasure to last as long as possible. I wish I could do that, but I can't. I'm that way with food, too. If it's really good, I just gobble it up!
Anyway, so much happened here. Lexie and Antsy take Crawley out on a "trauma therapy" ride to try to get him to change into a nicer person. Meanwhile, the Schwa cooks up a pretty interesting plan to make sure he is noticed. Unfortunately, it doesn't turn out quite the way he wanted. Later, Lexie and Antsy take the Schwa to see the Night Butcher, a guy who was actually there and knows what happened to the Schwa's mother. It doesn't stop there. Lots of threads get tied up at the end. I really enjoyed this book! I don't want to ruin it for you!

Holmes was a part of many different and overlapping worlds. His poetry and other literary endeavors constitute one such world, but there were also worlds of family, friends, colleagues, his lifetime relationship with Tufts, as well as the realities of the larger world. These exhibits provide insights into some parts of Holmes' world, primarily through his poetry.
As a teacher and mentor of young poets, Holmes was concerned about imparting the work of writing poetry to his students. Using drafts and notes as well as letters and sketches which are contained in the collection, this exhibit traces the evolution of several poems from first draft to finished product.

MOTHERS rose up in Taunton on Sunday as part of a global demonstration to highlight the need for action to prevent climate breakdown.
The event, organised by the Mothers Rise Up! group, saw parents gather in the County Town before marching around the town centre, culminating in a picnic in Vivary Park.
Hundreds joined the protest, chanting for action in the fight against climate change.
A spokesperson for Mothers Rise Up said: "This is for the mother who knows climate change is personal. For the mother who can't hold her children tight enough when she thinks of their future. This is for the mother who has had enough of feeling helpless. For the mother who can bear the inaction of our government no longer. This is for the mother who may have never marched before, but whose feet are already moving. This is your march!
"There is nothing more powerful than a mother's instinct to protect her child."
The march coincided with International Mothers' Day.

Contactless Temperature Sensors for Measurement (Domestic Appliances/Industrial Inspection)
Noncontact temperature measurement is of considerable value in domestic appliance design and industrial automation implementations. Among the most common application requirements are when products are treated in fast cycle (radiation) ovens, controlling the temperature of objects moving on a conveyer belt, measuring the average temperature of liquids without contamination risk, measuring the temperature of rotating cylinders and measuring the temperature of food being prepared in pots and pans. Melexis' infrared (IR) thermometry products are highly optimized for such uses.

Since 1961, 3T has never been satisfied with the status quo. Always searching for ways to make cycling faster and more fun, we have constantly reinvented our products, ourselves and cycling. That started the day Mario Dedioniggi founded Tecno Tubo Torino to make the world's best & most beautiful handlebars. And it can be found in every 3T bar, stem, seatpost, saddle, fork, crank, wheel and frame since. Mario's spirit - to try what others dared not - continues today under the stewardship of a fourth generation.
The most recent reinvention from 3T was the EXPLORO, the world's first aerodynamic adventure bike, an unlikely mash-up that is vintage 3T and an instant classic. Now 3T has done it again, reinventing the aero road bike from scratch with the STRADA. But "aero road" doesn't do it justice, as it's not just extremely aero but also very comfortable. How can one bike be both? The key elements are tire size optimization and a paradigm shift for the drivetrain, combined with a lightbulb moment designing new aero shapes.
The biggest factor in road bike comfort are the tires; they provide more compliance than any other part of the bike. Wider tires are better at reducing shocks from cracks, curbs, cobbles and potholes, which is why they are the norm at Paris- Roubaix. Wider tires also have lower rolling resistance, because their shorter contact patch requires less bending by the casing.
In addition, wider tires offer an advantage on long and multi-day rides, reducing the steady drain on a rider's energy level caused by high-frequency road buzz. But aerodynamics are also important on such rides, and wide tires tend to test poorly in the windtunnel. However, that is to be expected if you test them with frames and parts optimized for narrow tires. The STRADA is the first aero road frame optimized for wider tires, so finally you can be fast and comfortable all the time, from the cobbles to the climbs. All day, every day, with one and the same bike.
With all aero road bike developments of the past 20 years, the drivetrain was never really tackled. So we did. The worst area aerodynamically is around the BB, with the frame, crank, chainrings, front derailleur, water bottles and rider's legs leaving little room for the air to pass through. A single ring drivetrain eliminates the front derailleur and one chainring, reducing frontal area, creating space for unobstructed airflow and freeing up the design of the seattube to shield the rear wheel even better (no front derailleur mount needed). And with modern cassettes (in particular the special 3T cassette coming soon), you still have all the gears you need.
Think about it, 30 years ago we had 12 gears (2x6) of which only 8 were unique (the rest overlapped). Now we're at 2x11, always assuming that more is better. But did the "improvement" from 2x10 to 2x11 really make that much of a difference? Sometimes more is not better, it's just more; more weight, more drag, more gear overlap and more complexity. So instead of 2x11 with 14 effective gears, a front derailleur, a second ring and a second shift lever, 1x11 gives you the gears you need, the range you need, fewer components, less weight, less drag and less hassle.

Hi, recently new Macross series started airing in Japan, called Macross Frontier. One aspect fascinates me though, it is their security forces. Of course it is an anime, therefore a lot of stuff going to be hyperbolic, nevertheless, for some odd reason, the regular armed forces are inept, so instead a corporation is in partial charge of the security of the Frontier. Interesting to point out that they got own equipment and vehicles, including different from Air Force/Spacy Valkyrie fighter-bombers -- VF-25th's. I was wondering if there in history was like that, where not army but rather para-military/civil units were successful, or that concept is a pure fantasy!
Here is a picture of unrelated, but inspired by MF Hypothetical Corporation, the security devision:

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs B from Jersey
sept 14 Zambian trip
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 3-Sep-2014 and 15-Sep-2014 and I travelled with 1 other person.
This is the second time we have used Expert Africa and both times have found the trips to be well planned. We did not have a single problem and every thing went smoothly including having someone waiting at the airport when re arrived and being escorted onto our charter flight. Also at the end we had a very tight schedule when we landed in Lusaka and connecting to our SA flight and someone was waiting and kept the SA desk open for us, as without that we would have missed our connection.
I would highly recommend this company for any trips to Africa.

text: Defra and WRAP launch £500,000 Food Waste Reduction Fund Written by: Jo Gallacher | Published: 02 February 2018 Grants ranging from £20,000 to £75,000 will be given to support food waste projects Comment on this article Environment minister Thérèse Coffey has announced Defra will open a £500,000 Food Waste Reduction Fund to organisations which help to increase redistribution of surplus food in England. Administered by WRAP, the fund will donate grants ranging from £20,000 to £75,000 to support projects led by Not-for-Profit organisations. Ideal projects could cover training for people involved in supplying and distributing surplus food, infrastructure for packing and labelling facilities and new technology. Peter Maddox, WRAP director, said: "We're particularly looking for new routes and fresh partnerships to get more surplus food to people in need. "I'm keen to see expressions of interest that will increase redistribution from food manufacturers and businesses not already redistributing food, or which can significantly improve and increase existing redistribution chains." Full applications must be submitted by 11 May and will be assess by WRAP and Defra before grants are awarded. This material is protected by MA Business Ltd copyright. See Terms and Conditions.

Other Industries in Seychelles (36)
The downstream oil industry in the Republic of the Seychelles is an important element in the
economy of the country accounting for over 25% of its imports and supplying 95% of its
commercial energy consumption needs.
The Seychelles has no upstream oil industry. Since the 1970s some geophysical and
geological exploration has taken place with minor exploration drilling. The geochemical
analyses and exploration data from its offshore acreage indicate potential for commercial
In January 2005 the government of the Seychelle has accepted a bid from a US prospecting
company to search for oil in its waters, ending a nearly 10-year hiatus in petroleum
exploration. The Seychelles National Oil Company (SNOC) and the Seychelles Petroleum
Company (SEPEC) approved an offer from PetroQuest International an energy development
firm based in the southern US state of Louisiana. Under the terms of the agreement,
PetroQuest will explore for oil and natural gas in a 30 000-square kilometre area in the
Seychelles' southern shelf. Four locations have been approved for exploration: the Constant
and Topaz banks and the waters surrounding the Farquhar and Coetivy island groups.
The industry is regulated by the Minister of Industry. The current Minister of Industry is Mr
Ralph Adam.
Upstream History
While Seychelles as yet has no upstream oil industry, the results of geophysical surveys,
geochemical analyses and exploration data from its offshore acreage indicate potential for
commercial production. The Seychelles National Oil Company (SNOC), a state-owned entity
established in 1984 to implement petroleum policies and advise the Government in dealing
with petroleum-related activities, has been active in publicising the hydrocarbon potential of
the Seychelles to the international oil community. Enterprise Oil has so far drilled an appraisal
well in the southern Constant Bank offshore area although this well was declared dry in Aug
The Seychelles Model Petroleum Agreement is designed to create a favourable environment
for investment in petroleum exploration by oil companies. Its aim is to maintain a flexible
package to encourage the development of small fields and to ensure a fair division of returns
for production from profitable fields.
Seychelles is a modern state with good infrastructure to facilitate petroleum operation
activities. SNOC, Seychelles National Oil Company, has recently released and interpreted
new data, and the new geological models have established interesting exploration
opportunities. This information is highlighted in a Technical Atlas and SNOC is making this
and other data available to the industry.
The economic terms for exploration and production in Seychelles are laid down in a modern
concession type model agreement and the major provisions are summarised in this brochure.
SNOC will be pleased to visit your company or, if you prefer, you are welcome to Seychelles
to discuss petroleum exploration opportunities and examine the data.

Seismic anomalies suggest giant oil fields may lie off Seychelles.

Seismic responses interpretable as direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHIs) occur within the
Seychelles offshore stratigraphy at a number of locations. These responses range from bright
and/or flat spots to phase changes and gas chimneys.
In some cases these responses occur in combination, while elsewhere they coincide with other
indicators of hydrocarbon migration and/or seepage, such as well shows, gas sniffer
anomalies, and/or sea surface UV fluorescence anomalies.
The recognition of hydrocarbon generation, migration, and seepage by such a variety of
indicators greatly reduces the exploration risk in frontier and underexplored areas such as
offshore Seychelles. Indeed the presence of hydrocarbon seepage was a crucial factor in the
early days of onshore oil exploration,(1) and it is still used successfully as an active
exploration technique.2
In offshore regions such hydrocarbon migration and seepage can be inferred from the
repeatability of indications, either on different vintages of any one data type (e.g. seismic) or
on data from a variety of techniques over any one area. A number of such indicators have
previously been reported from the Seychelles offshore.3
This article correlates examples of DHIs from seismic data over the western and southeastern
shelves of the Seychelles plateau with other indicators of hydrocarbon migration (Fig. 1) and
alludes to the presence of potentially very large hydrocarbon accumulations.

Various exploration data from the offshore Seychelles frontier province indicate the presence
of an actively generating oil kitchen. These data include the regular occurrence of tarballs on
a number of beaches, migrant hydrocarbon shows in all three exploratory wells, and various
geosurvey anomalies, specifically from gas sniffer, ultraviolet fluorescence, and seismic
surveys (Fig. 1).
The results of geochemical analyses from numerous tarballs conducted over the past 15 years
indicate that actively flowing seepage is occurring locally from at least two mature source
rocks.(1) These source rocks are likely to be Mesozoic in age with one dominated by marine
algal sapropels and the other by landplant derived kerogens with varying degrees of included
marine organic matter. One of these source rocks may be a carbonate.
More recent analyses of an extensive occurrence of such tarbails on the northwest coast of
Mahe Island have confirmed this result. These tarballs appeared after two days of blustery
northwest winds and were very fresh, displaying a high saturates percentage and full alkane
suite from [C.sub.12] to[ C.sub.36].
With phytane/pristane greater than one; no triterpanes diagnostic of evaporitic or terrestrial
organic matter; and a mature sterane ratio dominated by [C.SUB.27], plus low abundances of
[C.SUB.28] and rearranged steranes, the tarballs are concluded to have originated from a
mature marine, probably carbonate source rock dominated by algal sapropels of either late
Paleozoic or early Mesozoic age.(2)
Three exploratory wells drilled by Amoco in 1980-81 at the western extremity of the western
shelf (Fig. 1) are to date the only wells off Seychelles.
Collectively the wells penetrated a sequence of Tertiary carbonates, Upper
Cretaceous/Paleocene volcanics (Deccan equivalents), Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous
marine clastics of drift tectonic origin, and late Triassic to early middle Jurassic continental
clastics of rift origin …

Geochemical analyses of beach-stranded tars from Seychelles can be correlated to comparable
analyses of an oil sample from a well in the Seychelles offshore.
The analyses also enable the precursor source rock to be characterized. Such a source rock
was encountered in the three offshore wells (Fig. 1) and is extensively developed to the west
and south of the granitic islands.
Enterprise Oil plc, London, plans to drill a well off Seychelles in second half 1995.
The first samples of beachstranded tar in Seychelles were collected from Coetivy Island in
1978. They were subjected to analysis of nC15+ saturates by gas chromatography (GC),
which gave a bimodal alkane distribution with peaks at n-C26 and n-C35. However, no
interpretation of precursor source rocks was attempted.
Sporadic collections of such tars have been made subsequently from Coetivy, as well as the
islands of Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, Silhouette, and Ste. Anne in the central granitic group,
The large granitic islands of the Seychelles Archipelago represent emergent peaks of a
microcontinent in the western Indian Ocean. The complexity of the tectonic evolution of the
Seychelles plateau is due to the imposition of three phases of rifting and drifting that isolated
the microcontinent from the centre of Gondwana.
The continental margin of the Western Shelf of Seychelles possibly began forming during the
Permo-Carboniferous time as part of the early Karoo/Gondwana rift system. This western
continental margin can be reconstructed to a position adjacent to Somalia and as a northern
extension of Madagascar prior to drifting from Africa in the Upper Jurassic.
The Karoo/Gondwana Sequence Equivalents in Seychelles consist of sandstones and
mudstones faulted against the Precambrian granitic basement.
After transgression during the Middle Jurassic, marine shales dominated deposition in deep
basin areas while interbedded shales, mudstones and sandstones are characteristic of the
shallower section. An oolitic bed forms a Middle Jurassic marker horizon.
A second phase of rifting occurred during the mid Cretaceous when India and Seychelles
separated from Madagascar. The Madagascar landmass acted as a major sediment source for
the Seychelles microcontinent during this period.
The third and final rift phase occurred in the latest Cretaceous with the drift between
Seychelles and India initiating during the early Paleocene. The Tertiary succession is
characterised by thick shelf carbonates with local reef developments.
Exploration History
The turn of the 1970's witnessed the first reflection seismic in the region when ExxonMobil
(then Mobil) included the main Seychelles Bank, and touched many of the lesser banks, on a
regional survey from East Africa to Saya de Malha. Their findings, coupled with 500 km of
reconnaissance lines by Burmah Oil Co. over the main bank, revealed a recognizable block
faulted sequence overlain by an unfaulted sequence, comparable to a rift-drift succession,
with the sedimentary section reaching at least 6 km in thickness.
An influx of petroleum companies occurred in 1977 when three Petroleum Agreements were
signed with Oxoco, Siebens and a Burmah Oil-led consortium. However, following some
6,400 km of seismic acquisition between 1977 and 1979, the interpretation of which revealed
the presence of both structural and stratigraphic leads, and despite the conclusion from
tarballs, collected and analysed from Coetivy Island, that their source was most probably
local, only Amoco from the Burmah consortium was prepared to commit to a drilling phase.
Although the three subsequent wells were plugged and abandoned, all encountered
hydrocarbon shows. Also, post-mortems revealed that none of the wells were valid tests, as
Owen Bank A-1 failed to reach the objective; Reith Bank-1 had no seal atop the primary
objective; and Seagull Shoals-1 was drilled on a structural nose opening to the south-east.
Nevertheless, Amoco remained optimistic and in 1982 commissioned a 27,900 km
aeromagnetic urvey, followed in 1983 by the acquisition of 7,100 km of seismic and
gravity/magnetics data from an extensive reconnaissance survey, and a waterborne
geochemical sniffer survey around the main Seychelles Bank as well as over Adelaide,
Coetivy, Fortune and distant Farquhar Banks. Parallel with Amoco's subsequent interpretation
work in 1984, the newly constituted Seychelles National Oil Company Ltd (SNOC)
contracted an independent interpretation of the data and the "Seychelles Basic Data Report"
was produced in 1985. Despite the presence of significant sedimentary packages and a
number of leads and geochemical anomalies, however, Amoco relinquished their acreage in
1986 during a time of what was general industry upheaval.
That same year, SNOC assumed responsibility for promoting the petroleum potential of
Seychelles and the following year Enterprise Oil signed an Agreement for the South-Eastern
Shelf plus Constant, Coetivy and Fortune Banks, with an option to later include Platte Bank.
In 1987, SNOC commissioned a seismic reprocessing and interpretation contract for the
Western and South shelves which resulted in the "Prospectivity of the Western and Southern
Shelf" report in 1988. Meanwhile, Enterprise acquired and interpreted a 4,870 km seismic
survey and in 1990 opted to enter a drilling phase and take-up the option over Platte. In that
same year, both Texaco and Ultramar (now LASMO) signed Petroleum Agreements.
The three licensees conducted a group-shoot acquisition programme in 1991, gathering 3,675
km of seismic, gravity and magnetics data, and Enterprise also conducted an airborne UV
Seepfinder survey. Currently, Enterrise holds license to acreage amounting to 17% of the
main Seychelles Bank, leaving some 50,000 sq km, plus a further 10,000 sq km of the
Farquhar area, available for exploration activities. Also LASMO is involved in a joint project
aimed at determining more fully the underlying tectonic framework of the region. SNOC has
embarked on a programme to distribute more widely knowledge of the petroleum potential of
the region through promotional material, seminars and technical publications.
Request For Expressions of Interest
The Department of Environment and the Ministry of Land Use and Housing
Background Information: The Divisions of Risk and Disaster Management (DRDM) in the Department of
Environment and the Ministry of Land Use and Housing are working together through the (GFDRR/IBRD)
National Disaster Preparedness and Response Project and the (UNDP/GEF) Sustainable Land Management
project to develop a geological and contour related risk map for the three main islands of Mahe, Praslin and La
Digue and an assessment of area specific risk levels for landslides, flooding and rock falls.
Duties and Responsibilities:
The granitic islands of Seychelles are typified by steep topography descending into the sea or narrow coastal
plains. This has resulted in dense areas of coastal development, often at the foot of steep hills or rock
formations, and the positioning of infrastructure on steep hillsides. This topography and development pattern
coupled with heavy seasonal rains increases the risk of and related vulnerability to land/mudslide events,
flooding and rock falls. Minor events of damage to properties and washing out of roads etc… are quite common
during the rainy season, larger areas of ongoing slippage have been recorded and historically there has been at
least one incident of a major landslide causing extensive loss of life and damage to infrastructure.
There is a need therefore to undertake a geological risk assessment of priority areas as a key means of
mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the developmental and environment management cycles.
The consultancy is to be undertaken for a period of 10 weeks spread over 4 months.
Work in Seychelles will be facilitated and supported by local counterparts from the Departments Environment
and Land Use and Housing. The GIS centre of MLUH will support the preparation of maps.
1) Prepare a consultancy Implementation Plan in liaison with DRDM/MLUH and submit for approval.
2) Compare and contrast areas of high risk terrain with centres of human habitation and key infrastructure.
3) Score and classify the risks (based on the findings of geological and topographical surveys and data,
historical evidence and available meteorological data and maps) into very high, high, medium and low
parameters for each category i.e. human habitation and key infrastructure.
4) Develop and submit, to DRDM/MLUH for review and circulation to stakeholders, assessment report with
1/25,000 colour coded map representations that delineate risk areas due to land/mud slide, rock fall (including
trajectory maps), with particular emphasis on zones adjacent to residential or key infrastructure areas.
5) Prepare for and facilitate national stakeholder workshop to review report and identify and agree national
priorities for each category
6) Undertake detailed surveys (i.e. site visits, review of maps and aerial photographs) on national priorities, as
determined by stakeholder consultation Develop detailed maps at scale 1:5000 showing the various types of
classified risk zones with accompanying report proposing mitigation or precautionary measures thereby
providing a basis for Government agencies to take action.
7) Submit to DRDM/MLUH for review and circulation to stakeholders.
Prepare for, present to and facilitate national stakeholder workshop to finalise report.
9) Revise final report and submit for approval.
1) Implementation plan.
2) Draft Assessment report.
3) National Workshop agenda and documents.
4) Draft detailed survey report, assessment and maps.
5) 2nd National Workshop agenda and documents.
6) Revised report.
7) Approved final report
Information resources:
GIS centre – information on flooding areas and extent of tsunami inundation.
DRDM - various reports e.g. Preliminary geological surveys by Nicholas Bernon 2009-2010.

Carol Southall, Senior Lecturer at Staffordshire Business School
Kerry Edge, Administrative Assistant Recruitment
For many people, a new year starts in January, but in the academic world we are fast approaching a new 'academic' year. It is that time of year when, often following a summer break, people take time to reflect on what is important to them, with family, life and career often being the subject of that reflection. Going back to work post- summer break; receiving summer examination results; or looking for an alternative career path, this is the time when the opportunity to pursue a University education is often considered.
Clearing is an opportunity to make a new choice. Essentially, clearing matches applicants to university places that are yet to be filled. There are many reasons why courses are still available through clearing. It is an opportunity for those who may have changed their mind about where or what they want to study, it's an opportunity for those who have missed their conditions and it's also an opportunity for those who, on reflection, realise that the path to their chosen career lies in higher education.
The key message is that it is never too late to apply for university.
At Staffordshire Business School we understand the importance of making the right decision. We work hard to inspire you to be creative in your thinking, international in your outlook and innovative and entrepreneurial in your actions. Connecting with business, the creative and cultural sector and communities to address challenges in a time of change, we encourage our students to make a difference through innovative and transformational ideas.

I visited Lodge Grass, Montana with my church youth group in July 2011. We went on a Mission trip to help the people of the Crow Indian Reservation rebuild their homes and schools.
I met a lot of inspiring children that were attending the summer school program that I volunteered with. These children live in an area with extreme poverty. The state funds summer programs for the children because their education is so important.
I was also able to sleep in tee-pees while I was in Montana! The warm summer days and cool summer nights were perfect for sleeping in tee-pees!
We did a lot of sight seeing while on the Misson trip as well. We went to the Battle of Little Bighorn and saw the National Monument. It was eye opening to see where they faught and all of the graves.
