Map of The Shire from J R R Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
Fantastic Maps
Some of our most cherished reading journeys are accompanied by maps. Whether discovering The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, the Narnia books, Swallows and Amazons, or Watership Down, the maps in the end papers are central to our early experience of literature, and are often delightful works of art. In this celebration of the genre, writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley explores some of the classic maps of fictional landscapes and publisher David Brawn looks at the worlds created by Tolkien and C S Lewis. They are joined by cartographer and artist Jonathan Roberts, creator of the superb official maps of Westeros and Essos, from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Socialism kills.
Here's an article from Manhattan Contrarian about the problems of making renewable energy financially feasible.
Or as I put it last April, the Engineering Is Settled.
A Dose Of Renewable Energy Realism
In the campaign to jettison fossil fuels as the main source of our energy and replace them with so-called "renewables," a notable feature is the lack of discussion of the costs and practicalities of trying to make intermittent sources like wind and solar work to run a 24/7/365 electricity grid. Is there any problem here that deserves consideration? In Tuesday's post I noted that in my home state of New York we are about to try to replace our big Indian Point nuclear power plant with mostly wind-generated power. Actually, we already have wind turbines with approximately the same "capacity" as Indian Point, but unfortunately over the course of a full year they only generate about one-quarter as much electricity as Indian Point. Still, can't that problem be solved just by buying four times as many wind turbines? It may be a little pricey, but is there any reason why that won't work?
In a publication called Energy Post on January 10, prominent German economist Heiner Flassbeck has a piece that addresses this question. The headline is "The End of the Energiewende?" Of course the problem is that the wind turbines don't just run steadily and predictably at one-quarter of capacity; rather, they swing wildly and unpredictably back and forth between generating at near 100% of capacity and generating almost nothing. The "almost nothing" mode can persist for days or even weeks. In Germany under a program called Energiewende ("energy transition"), in effect since 2010, they have been pushing to raise the percentage of energy they obtain from wind and solar, and have gotten the percent of their electricity supply from those sources all the way up to 31%. But Flassbeck now looks at what just occurred during the month of December 2016:
This winter could go down in history as the event that proved the German energy transition to be unsubstantiated and incapable of becoming a success story. Electricity from wind and solar generation has been catastrophically low for several weeks. December brought new declines. A persistent winter high-pressure system with dense fog throughout Central Europe has been sufficient to unmask the fairy tale of a successful energy transition….
Here is a chart from Flassbeck's piece showing German electricity demand through the first half of the month of December, against the sources of the electricity that supplied that demand. Among the sources, solar, on-shore wind, and off-shore wind are broken out separately:
As you can see, at some times wind and solar sources supplied as much as half or more of the demand for electricity, but at other times they supplied almost nothing. Flassbeck: […]
I would dearly love to install solar panels and go off the grid. And I've been watching the prices and the expected equipment lifetimes for a couple of decades now to decide when it will make financial sense.
But the problem of storing the energy aside, there are periods of weather like our current one. Today was the sixth gloomy, sunless day in a row in Missouri. That's not unusual in January or February in the center of the US; it's more common than not, I believe.
On the other hand, if I still lived in Tucson I'd probably have done it by now. (Check your insolation.)
H.T. Jeff G
Saying "The Russians hacked the election" is really lame in my view. It's the kind of statement intended to get a knee-jerk reaction from the implication that Russians hacked the voting process. I don't know of any reputable claims of that happening and I don't believe it did.
Since the Democrats don't disavow the content of their hacked e-mails, their claim that they were injured by the release of those messages basically shows that they were hoist by their own petard. "Oops… we didn't want that to go public."
FWIW, the Wall Street Journal reports that Russian hackers tried to get into the Republicans' systems too.
So John Podesta was hacked. The election was not.
Or see this tweet for an even pithier (and more amusing) summary.
Personally, I thought that Jonathon Gruber's comments about how the PPACA was passed would be enough to keep anyone from voting for Secretary Clinton.
Russia's Election Hacks Are Child's Play
The FBI and CIA are in agreement that Russia in some way interfered in the U.S. election. What is known so far is that Russian hackers were able to access the emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. Hackers also breached the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
According to sources, the Russian government sought to hinder the Clinton campaign and work to assist Trump in winning the presidency. […]
People seem floored by these revelations. How could Russia interfere in the workings of the U.S. political process? How dare they try to manipulate the outcome of a presidential election?!
I'm reminded of a Biblical passage.
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own?
Those barking loudly over Russia's involvement with the U.S. political process would do well to take a look at the history of U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. government has a long history, some two hundred years long, of interfering in the politics of other countries—and we're not just talking emails. […]
1898—In the aftermath of the Spanish-American war, the U.S. government invaded the Philippines, reneging on a deal with Philippine rebels to help the nation win independence and overthrowing the country's new government.
1903—The U.S. government helped Panama secede from Colombia. […]
1953—The U.S. government launched operations to overthrow the government in Guatemala. […]
1958-1960—CIA engineered at least three coups in Laos.
1966—Kwame Nkrumah was the Prime Minister of Ghana when the country gained independence from the British. The U.S. government was not fond of his socialist, anti-imperialist views. As such, the U.S. government, via the CIA, worked to oust him in a coup in 1966.
(Note: the above is woefully incomplete. For a couple more list of U.S. efforts to interfere in other countries' governance, see here and here.) […]
And this article doesn't mention either the U.S. involvement in the Iranian coup of 1953 (which succeeded) or the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 (which failed).
A little humor about the DNC hacking from IowaHawk, who was on a roll last Friday (the 30th).

Since I don't follow European politics this is a surprising turn of events to me (reported by CapX).
François Fillon: The man bringing Thatcher to France
It came as no little surprise when, three years ago, François Fillon accepted my invitation to participate in the Margaret Thatcher Conference on Liberty, organised by Britain's Centre for Policy Studies. Needless to say, no other French politician even bothered to answer the invitations I hardly bothered to send out.
In French political debate, "Thatcher" is used in the same way as "the Vichy regime" – as a label that disqualifies an opponent from office forever. Open and avowed Thatcherites in Paris are a fringe movement of degenerate right-wingers, tolerated purely as a sign of open-mindedness, in the same way as advocates of cannibalism or sado-masochism.
But there Mr Fillon was. All of a sudden, a Gaullist with a fondness for the "French social model" […] had morphed into an unrepentant free-marketeer, promising to slash taxes and liberalise the labour market with a forcefulness that would make the IMF blush. […]
Over the past few years, he has assembled a team of like-minded economists and entrepreneurs and put together a detailed program of reforms with a credible implementation timeline.
The plan includes disposing of 500,000 civil servants and cutting public spending by €110 billion. It also covers critical social reforms, such as granting a greater level of autonomy to state schools (a proposal distantly inspired by Britain's academies) and shaking up the health care system (for example by funding non-essential treatments via private health insurance).
For that, Fillon had been the butt of journalists' and fellow politicians' ridicule – until the electorate unexpectedly gave him a sweeping victory in the first round of the primary election for the centre-right Republican party (44 per cent of the vote against 28 per cent for Alain Juppé, with Sarkozy eliminated after coming in a humiliating third).
How did this miracle occur? Because Fillon's message struck a chord. From the farmer sick of spending a third of his time doing paperwork (according to the latest surveys), to the entrepreneur stifled by regulation, to middle classes strangled by taxes, a popular revolt is starting to emerge. After decades of bureaucratic doziness, could France be starting to roar again? […]

The Mueller report lays out facts showing that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help Donald Trump and Donald Trump welcomed that help. Once elected, Donald Trump obstructed the investigation into that attack.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 19, 2019
Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: "Congress has authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice." The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 19, 2019
To ignore a President's repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 19, 2019
The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 19, 2019

I'm not buying that – at least not completely. My only question, though, is if this is really what Carlisle wants. There is a pretty good chance, though, that this will Wholesale Ecuador Jerseys be the matchup for the conference championship game regardless of who wins, so this is really just the appetizer for NFL Jerseys China what will be a pretty good main course in a few weeks. They have 11 losses and all sorts of issues, but they are covering them up by winning five of six despite an OT loss to Louisville last night – including home wins against Florida State and Virginia and a buzzer-beating win at Clemson. Nick Pivetta, Philadelphia: Pivetta is a Canadian like me, so we know he has a lot going for him right off the top.

Doc's Sports is offering $60 worth of free member's Belmont Stakes picks absolutely free – no obligation, no sales people – you don't even have to enter credit card information. Last week they beat a decent Kansas City team by 29, and it wasn't nearly as close as the score. It's hard to get away from a bet on Brady.
If they get to Watson early and often then his feet won't be able to save him enough, and the game will be very tough for Clemson to win. And things should be crowded Cheap NFL Jerseys USA coming from the back, so he'll get a jump on the closers. But this team is not one that has risen to the occasion in crunch time over the last decade, and with games at Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ohio State, and home games against Wisconsin and Penn State, there are plenty of opportunities for this team to Cheap NBA Jerseys go full Michigan and step on their own feet. This shouldn't have much of an impact on Alabama this week, though – they will be plenty motivated to win the Iron Bowl even if it has no real impact on their conference title hopes and little impact on their national title hopes. He's not particularly athletic, cheap jerseys and a turtle could Cheap NBA Jerseys give him a tough race.

He is one of the best players in this tournament and he is only 19. Letting them watch would constitute child abuse. Ryan and the Falcons haven't been noted NFL Jerseys China for their mental toughness in recent years, so I don't entirely trust that they can shake off the Super Bowl so easily. Effort level: The Warriors are, of course, the most fun team to watch right now. Matt Cheap Jerseys For Sale Ryan, Atlanta : I hate this price. Arkansas needed a fourth-quarter touchdown to get past Louisiana Tech 21. The players weren't thrilled with that decision, and the fans nearly revolted. You'll notice I wrote that Texas can almost afford to let this one become a Cheap NFL Jerseys China shootout. They are the most public team in the league right Cheap NFL Jerseys China now, rivaled only by the Cheap NBA Jerseys Cowboys Cheap NFL Jerseys USA Cheap NFL Jerseys China at this point. Betting performance: The Heat haven't been much to watch for a lot of this season, but they have Wholesale Egypt Jerseys been a pleasure to bet on – at ATS they are the third-most-profitable team in the whole NBA. There are many pitchers who are almost worth a bet just because they are playing in the regular season, but you can't make the same assumption in March. He's a son of Curlin cheap jerseys out of a Tapit Cheap NFL Jerseys USA mare, so his closest male relatives have sired four of the last five Belmont winners. That is something a team can certainly work with. Just imagine what that would be like with these two intense coaches running the shows. Cheap Jerseys For Sale They are immature and largely unpredictable. Both races happened on May 29 – a day short of two weeks before the Cheap Jerseys For Sale Belmont, and more than a week after the Preakness. John Henson didn't have one major injury but rather a collection of small ones that cost him 25 games. So, he's a lightly-raced late starter.

Airport revamp BACKLASH: Jets at end of families GARDENS every 20 minutes – 'Can TASTE it'
A NIGHTMARISH scenario has become a reality for those living on the doorstep of the newly revamped Southend Airport, as colossal aircraft begin their taxi to the runway at the bottom of people's gardens.
The ludicrous scene has been captured on video as every twenty minutes an international carrier belches fumes over residents' washing lines. Up to 50 such planes take off every day from the Essex airport - one of five which serve London. They begin coming at six in the morning and don't stop until 11 at night.
One pensioner, June Marchant, claimed that she no longer has barbecues in her otherwise picturesque garden due to the booming engines of planes that loom over her quaint bungalow.
She added that she has to "pause the TV until the plane has gone past".
Ms Marchant says the problem began in November 2017 when the airport - which has stood in various forms since 1914 - rehabilitated its 'Charlie Taxiway' which is the route used for planes taking off from the eastward runway.
One morning Ms Marchant opened her curtains and said to her partner: "There's a bloody great jet in our garden!"
50 planes a day reportedly pass along the runway
She says the constant noise and smell of fumes from the aircraft has made the lives of her and her neighbours on Wells Avenue a misery and even claims that it is making her partner ill.
She explained: "You can't have a conversation in the garden with anyone because you can't hear them.
"And when we are inside with the door closed we have to pause the TV until the plane has gone past.
"We worry about our grandchildren coming around and the enjoyment of having people over for BBQs is ruined.
"I love my garden and used to do a lot of gardening but now it is all spoiled with the noise and the smell."
She was also concerned about the potentially crippling effect it could have on the value of the house.
She said: "You do worry if you have a house viewing and there's a huge plane sat at the bottom of the garden.
"Every plane is legitimate but it's a nuisance, is it morally right? I don't know what to do, I have done everything.
"My partner's breathing is now not so good and my neighbours say they can't sit outside or open their windows at certain times of the day.
"Yesterday there were about 10 that went past and one was sat waiting for about 10 minutes before it took off and it was incredibly noisy.
"It can't be good for your health.
"We aren't against the airport but this is the most convenient and cheapest option for the airport."
One neighbour, Alex Carr, said that the earth-shattering noise was not the worst problem.
He explained: "The noise can be horrendous even when you are inside with the doors and windows shut but it's the smell that is really unacceptable and you can even taste it at times."
The airport website states that there were quarterly consultations with residents.
A spokesman from Southend Airport said: "London Southend Airport is very proud of both its long heritage, having been an airport since 1914, and the important, positive role it plays in the community.
"We appreciate that the Wells Avenue properties were built close to the Charlie Taxiway, and are currently engaging with those residents through quarterly meetings and are actively investigating active measures to reduce noise.
"The airport has ambitious plans to grow, and will continue to work closely with the CAA to ensure the airport remains safe and environmentally responsible for all our stakeholders.
"We have recorded and investigated over 430 individual complaints and found that in every case, the aircraft concerned was operating normally, legitimately and within the Airports operating framework."

Sharon Garrison is an artist who specializes in portrait. She works intuitively as did Alice Neel and Lucien Freud, two of her sources of inspiration. A professor once compared her work to that of Soutine. She was not aware of Soutine at the time and headed straight to the library to look up the artist. She did not see a similarity but others have also made the comparison. Shape and value are of primary importance. Her colors tend to be realistic, even somewhat monochromatic in nature.
Although never one for drawing, her recent work is a series of portraits entitled "Friends & Family plus passing acquaintances and me", made with Sharpie markers. These drawings are a combination of realism and caricature applied to images of acquaintances, family and friends. She often enhances memory of past relationships to create what she surmises a contemporary version of the past might look like and vice versa.
She is presently exploring cattle markers and cold wax and oil as mediums, using a trial and error approach. Her work in general is based upon trial and error methodology. Although the portraits seem to be classical in nature, there is often an edgy quality to them.
Sharon feels that the artist's work is complete when she deems the piece finished. It is then time for a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork. With this sequence of events the work takes on a new life with each different onlooker, creating an expanded continuum. For this reason, she does not attempt to explain her work. If the work is successful, there should be no need for explanation. However, the life experiences of the viewer melding with the art work facilitates a fresh dialogue between the viewer and artist, often resulting in a mutually beneficial understanding of the piece.
She earned an Associate Degree from UW Fond du Lac and a BFA from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
She has shown in many venues around the state:
2018 Wisconsin Visual Artists Biennial, Mowa
Neville Public Museum
Union at the University of Wisconsin Madison

"If I think about the universe, and what science tells us, life as we conceive of it appears almost infinitely rare. Hardly a day goes by that I don't meditate on what I see as the utter scarcity of this human condition, or if I am to speak more inclusively, this life condition. I am unable to take for granted, at least for very long, that we are beings complete with consciousness, an ability to sense beyond ourselves, and to communicate our impressions and feelings. If we distinguish ourselves from the inanimate, we as conscious entities form but mere micro-specks within the vast milieu of non-living material and empty space. What are the odds?"
"Painting, while it covers much ground in terms of the various energies that drive the process, ultimately brings me back to this phenomenon, and with cause for celebration. While working, I often see myself operating as both creator and observer, somehow in charge, but never more than a step ahead of the painting itself. The work bears a life of its own, and I feel like only a catalyst at key moments of development. When I am satisfied with a piece and consider it complete, I find myself more witness than owner, as though the spirit of the image continues to pulse just beyond grasp."
David Criner is an artist working in Chicago. In his recent work, he transforms material in pursuit of an image which celebrates the present moment of life and consciousness. He received a BFA in Painting from the University of Illinois in 1991, an MFA in Painting from the University of Kansas in 1995, and has exhibited his work throughout the United States and Europe. David teaches in the Art Department at Northeastern Illinois University.
Now We Here: The Path to Unconditional Self-Acceptance by Vitus Shell
Exhibition will be on display from September 26 – November 9, 2019
My large scale paintings are geared toward the black experience, giving agency to people from this community through powerful images deconstructing, sampling, and remixing identity, civil rights, and contemporary black culture. In my work, I strive to bridge the gap between the older and younger generations by exploring and uncovering factors that contributed to the unfortunate relationship breakdown between the two.
Moreover, my layered, mixed media painting examines parallels between present day behaviors and attitudes that date back to African roots. With my current work, I continue experimenting with portraiture, acrylic paint, over-sized photocopies of early 20th century vintage advertisements and the incorporation of a foam-cut printing technique. My artistic goal is to exude the hip hop lifestyle with a southern vernacular. Through the use of the vintage advertisements allows me to create narrative based environments, which comment on stereotyping, bigotry, and oppression. The foamcut printing method provides me with the added layers to include text and icons, such as the minstrel images. Having spent much time researching graffiti art, I incorporate a variation of its characteristics, techniques, and unique aesthetics into my work such as paste-ups, stamps, and stencils. Using graffiti techniques allows me to challenge the viewer's perceptions of what is considered low art or high art, which also addresses classism.

Tips for Posting Images on Instagram
You've got your brand new photos. You're eager & excited to share them with the world. And you should be!
You post your 1st photo from your first batch of New New. But yet they look somewhat pixelated and not as crisp as they were when you received them from the photographer. What Gives?
Here are 2 tips to make sure your photos look crisp.
You can post in more than square. About 1 or 2 years ago, Instagram made posting images more responsive. What does that mean? It means instead of being restricted to only 1:1 or square, you can post in various dimensions. Meanwhile, when visitors visit your handle or feed, it'll still be clean & in a square. I'll give examples. While there are a few, we'll cover 2.
4:5 Vertical & Horizontal
This is the most common dimensions you see when you scroll Instagram today. The main pro is the image takes up more screen space, encouraging people to view and tap the image. It also takes people more swipes to scroll up when there is a 4:5 image vs 1:1 image (in theory).
Clients receive select 4:5 cropped images, making them immediately ready for use on Instagram. But how do you make sure you're optimizing the space? Check out the video below! When you are posting your images, there is a button on the bottom left corner, giving you permission to expand the photo to it's original size. Keep this in mind prior to posting.
9:16 Vertical
These dimensions are slightly longer and mirror the size of an iPhone screen. This image size is ideal for IG stories. See Images Below shot 9:16.
2. Zoom. 3 Words. Don't Do It. Most images are already in sizes ideal for IG or Web Posting and Zooming can compromise the integrity of the photo. If you prefer another crop or different dimensions of an image, I'd recommend working with your photographer to do a simple crop.
Hopefully this quick post helps.
Happy Posting!

Title: U-band study of the z=2.38 Filament
Abstract: We request 3 nights on the CTIO Blanco 4m with the MOSAIC camera to image the z=2.38 Filament in U-band. The primary goal is to achieve depths in the U filter (26.5 AB) necessary to identify further members of this high redshift structure, using the "BX" method of Steidel et al. (2004) and photometric redshifts. Combined with deep \it Spitzer (IRAC and MIPS 24(mu)m) and near-IR data, we will measure mass, ages, dust content, and SFR throughout this region of early galaxy assembly. Further structure members will also facilitate a robust determination of the weakly-detected filament and void distribution. We will also obtain z'-band imaging in order to provide a full data set for photometric redshifts.

In 2018, the share of foreigners who visited the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone reached 16% of the total number of guests. According to the press service of the Sochi gambling zone, this number was just 5% in 2017.
Most often, casinos in Krasnaya Polyana were visited by residents of Israel, as well as Turkey, Kazakhstan, Armenia, India, China and European countries. As the press service explained, the leadership of Israel is due to the availability of direct flights in 2018 (8 flights a week): last year 40 thousand Israelis visited the gambling establishments of Sochi, compared to about 500-1000 people a year in previous years.
"Attracting foreign tourist traffic is important not only for the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone, but also for the country as a whole. The past FIFA World Cup brought tangible benefits to the country's economy and showed prospects for the development of the tourism industry in Russia," Dmitry Anfinogenov, director of gambling zone development, commented on RBC.ru

Welcome to the Good Morning Magnolia edition of Stamp Review Crew. I am super excited for this edition as I am totally in love with this stamp set and product bundle. Its a beauty.
My projects today use both the stamps and dies. I threw in the new Scripty embossing folder for that fun script background. I think it looks great with this bundle. The magnolia flower has been colored using Stampin' Blends. I added a little pop of a new InColor (Rococo Rose) to the center of the flower to give it that deeper pink color. The little swatch of gingham paper is also in Rococo Rose. A dull list of supplies can be found below.
See that fun shape I created using the border die? I was able to use the positive version on the first card and the negative version on the second. This is a great way to push your dies and paper a little bit farther.
What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin' Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops.
Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Ann. Be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL 12 my talented friends have created using this set. See the full link up below. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.
Like these cards? Want to make them? Check out the supply list below.
I would LOVE to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you live in the United States you can order your paper crafting supplies from my online store. So easy. THANK YOU!

Death of the High Street?
The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS: Ross County 1 Hearts 1 – Jason Naismith nets late equaliser to cancel out Kyle Lafferty's opener as Staggies earn point
Owen Coyle's side are now just two points behind Hamilton at the bottom of the table thanks to Naismith's brilliant finish
ALEX McLEISH was said to be back home in England taking in his first bit of match-day action since succeeding Gordon Strachan as Scotland boss.
He could have done worse than chosen Dingwall as an alternative destination early yesterday afternoon.
It was no classic in the Highland sunshine, but another day when Hearts' young defender John Souttar showcased his immense promise alongside seasoned international Christophe Berra.
But Ross County's Jason Naismith, recently linked with interest from Hull City and Shrewsbury Town, must be slowly but surely nudging onto the international radar.
The 23-year-old ex-St Mirren defender, with County trailing to a stunning Kyle Lafferty free-kick early in the second half, raised the roof off the Jail End with a brilliant 76th minute equaliser.
Naismith's powerful, marauding displays amid adversity have been striking in their consistency and the valuable contribution yesterday cut the gap at the bottom to two points.
County can now focus on a run of four winnable games against St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Partick and second bottom Hamilton.
For Hearts, the blackest part of the day was the loss of unlucky Arnaud Djoum to a snapped Achilles with the immediate prognosis suggesting he will be out for the next seven or eight months.
How They Rated
Ross County – Fox 6; Naismith 8, Souttar 6, Fontaine 6, Fraser 7; O'Brien 6 (Dow 82, 4), Routis 6, Kait 6 (Tansey 59, 5); Schalk 7, Ngog 6 (Curran 75, 5), Keillor-Dunn 7. Subs: McCarey, Effiong, Mckay, Tansey, Melbourne.
Booked: Fontaine 52, Tansey 89
Hearts – McLaughin 6; Smith 7, Souttar 7, Berra 7, Mitchell 7; Adao 7; Cowie 6 (McDonald 82, 4), Callachan 6, Djoum 3 (Irving 25, 6), Milinkovic 6 (Henderson 68, 5); Lafferty 7. Subs: Hamilton, Hughes, Bauben, Randall, McDonald.
Booked: Adao 87
Referee: Craig Thomson 7
The contest pitted Harry and John Souttar against each other for the first time, the brothers wearing County and Hearts colours respectively.
It was also three years to the day since the pair's one and only competitive appearance on the same side with Dundee United's development team.
County went with the same starting eleven that broke a 13-game run without a win with victory at Dundee a fortnight ago.
Hearts, defending a run of just one defeat in 15 matches, lost Scotland striker Steven Naismith to a knock, while young Harry Cochrane and Rory Currie remained out along with Malaury Martin.
Hearts had won 2-1 in Dingwall, in only Owen Coyle's second match in charge of the Highlanders, although the hosts had felt aggrieved not to take something against the 10-man Jambos.
For Coyle's men, with only nine prior points gained at home this season, it was time to prove the rejuvenating Dens Park win was no flash in the pan.
When David Ngog, the former Liverpool and PSG striker, forced the first corner inside a minute, it looked promising for the hosts.
But it proved a fairly sedate start in the winter sunshine.
Hearts were patient in their build-up, prepared to build from the back while County's attacking endeavours all too often fizzled out.
With 12 minutes gone, Joaquim Adao, on-loan from FC Sion, threatened.
The Swiss holding midfielder let rip with a tremendous low drive from more than 30 yards, forcing home keeper Scott Fox to dive to push the ball away from his bottom right-hand corner.
County showed flashes of intent. After 22 minutes, Davis Keillor-Dunn's trademark trickery found him slicing inside from the left. A long square pass wide right to Jason Naismith in space ended with the full-back firing wildly over the bar.
Hearts had Arnaud Djoum stretchered off a short time later after the Cameroon international went down unchallenged, with Andy Irving, his replacement, making only his third appearance.
It was County who ended the first half on the front foot, with a couple of late chances.
Ngog's clever pass after 43 minutes found Jim O'Brien rushing into the penalty area but the midfielder's 16-yard strike was blocked in timely fashion by John Souttar.
Entering stoppage time, Dutchman Alex Schalk raced in on the right but his angled attempt nestled on the roof of the net.
It was Hearts, though, who came tearing out of the traps early in the second period.
A Don Cowie corner, four minutes after the re-start, swerved all the way through to the back of the six-yard box where it was met by John Souttar.
Only a superb reaction save from Scott Fox kept the ball out.
But Fox proved powerless to prevent the opener four minutes later. Harry Souttar rashly left a high punt forward and as it bounced onwards, defensive partner Liam Fontaine was booked for cynically pulling back Kyle Lafferty.
Lafferty lined up the free-kick 30 yards out and with a wonderful, fierce right foot strike beat Fox inside the left hand post for his 15th goal of the season.
Just after the hour, County worked a fine move but blew the chance.
Ngog nudged the ball forward for Christopher Routis to drive in a low cross from the right side of the box.
Keillor-Dunn had plenty time to control and steady but lifted his 12-yard attempt just a whisker over the bar.
County have lamented poor luck at times this season, but there was a touch of good fortune in creation of the 76th minute equaliser.
There was nothing fortunate about the finish, though, as a Cowie challenge on Schalk saw the ball spin to the right side of the box.
Naismith tore in and executed a tremendous right-foot finish into the far corner from a 15-yard angle.
Substitute Ryan Dow also wound into space and rattled in a 20-yard attempt as County sensed they might just snatch three points.
Frenchman Routis also had a front post header saved by Hearts' keeper McLaughlin from a Keillor-Dunn corner as the late pressure built.
In the final minute, Dow's low right-foot shot was blocked on the line. County claimed it had crossed, but the off-side flag settled the argument.
CRAIG LEVEIN felt Arnaud Djoum's sickening injury blow was far worse than the disappointment of dropping two points in Dingwall.
The Cameroon international will miss up to eight months after collapsing unchallenged with a snapped Achilles tendon during the first half on yesterday's 1-1 draw.
A gutted Levein cursed the 28-year-old's ill-fortune after suffering his third – and by far the lengthiest – lay-off this season.
The Hearts manager said: "The game really opened up after we got in front. Normally we manage to control that, but just the nature of the players we had on the field probably resulted in that happening.
"My hope was we got a second because, if we do, we win the game. But Ross County were adventurous in the second half, and you can see that from the fact it's a full-back who scores the equaliser.
"So I'm disappointed – but doubly disappointed because Arnaud Djoum has snapped his Achilles tendon and he'll be out for seven or eight months, unfortunately.
"He's had a terrible time of it.
"We've had two cruciates this year and two Achilles tendons – it's been unusual, but these things happen.
"He's a really important player for us who was just getting back to his best. Dropping two points is something that happens occasionally but this is more disappointing.
"And the fact we'll be without him the remainder of this season and the start of next.
"The older you are in the situations, you handle them slightly better, so he's quite philosophical but he's still really disappointed."
OWEN COYLE believes Ross County underlined their survival credentials with a stirring recovery against Hearts.
And the Staggies boss felt his team probably deserved to sneak a precious three points from the clash, rather than one.
Coyle said: "A point was the minimum we deserved.
"I thought, although the first half was mostly uneventful, we were certainly in control of the game and had one or two half-chances.
"We felt very comfortable at half-time. Hearts started the second half better than we did and forced a couple of corners. It was a routine ball we should have cleared.
"For their opener, Harry Souttar was maybe caught in the sun, but it led to the free-kick and Kyle had a fantastic finish. He is somebody I know well having sold him to Rangers for £4 million from Burnley. I know his capabilities.
"The good thing for us is the reaction was terrific against a side that has lost once in 16 games.
"We really put them to the test, created some good chances and scored a wonderful goal – and should have added to it.
"I certainly felt we were worth three points but that's two good performances back-to-back.
"We had a terrible run, but we certainly look as if we're well over that. We look now like a team capable of going and winning the points we need to move the club to safety.
"Our scorer, Jason Naismith has loads of qualities – as do a number of others. That's why we remain very confident going into the remainder of the season we have enough about us to win a lot of games."

Azerbaijan, Baku, July 12 /Trend, T.Hajiyev/
The French National Institute of Oriental Languages and Cultures (INALSO) and Baku State University (BSU) will exchange specialists. The decision on this was made during the meeting in Baku between the rector of BSU
Abel Maharramov and the rector of INALSO Jacques Legrand, BSU press and information office told Trend.
During the meeting, Legrand told about the institute, which he heads, and added that the Institute of Oriental Languages and Cultures teaches 96 languages, and since 1999, also has been teaching Azerbaijani.
"Since the establishment of an official diploma, students have been learning the Azerbaijani language in the separate courses, and they had the opportunity to get a degree on this specialty. And the faculty of the Azerbaijani language was opened on November 7, 2008. We are interested in more rational teaching the Azerbaijani language. From this point of view, we attach importance to cooperation with the Baku State University," said Legrand.
Academician Abel Maharramov approved the suggestion of his colleagues and said that along with teaching the French language, the BSU has been teaching French literature for three years.
Azerbaijani ambassador to France
Elchin Amirbeyov told about the great role of the Baku State University in the development of education and science in the country. Mentioning the shortage of textbooks for teaching Azerbaijani language in France, he appealed to the leadership of the Baku State University to provide teaching aids, the Azerbaijani-French dictionary, as well as CDs and other materials for language learning.

Spearfish – Growing business by nature
Black Hills Business Magazine | July 2019
Located in the northern Black Hills, Spearfish represents one of the most broad-based economies in western South Dakota. With roots in education, health care, tourism, natural resources, and light industry, our local economy has grown and diversified substantially over the past several decades. The past five years has seen the average yearly new construction valuation nearly double that of the previous five years.
Recognizing the attraction of Spearfish's strong economic advantages -as well our area's outdoor recreation and active lifestyle appeal- Spearfish Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) has launched a strategic initiative to recruit additional outdoor product companies to our growing community.
According to the Outdoor Industry Association, outdoor recreation is an economic powerhouse in the United States, each year generating $887 billion in consumer spending and supporting 7.6 million jobs. Every year, American consumers spend more on outdoor recreation than they do on pharmaceuticals and fuel, combined. In fact, the impact of outdoor recreation on America's economy is almost as big as that of hospital care.

Smoothing out Wrinkles in Graphene with Wax/
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a way to use wax to transfer graphene, which tends to wrinkle and break when removed from the substrate it is grown on, to a new substrate. Traditionally, graphene is encased in a polymer to protect it when moving between substrates; however, this creates defects and introduces contaminants. The newly developed process of applying wax to the surface of graphene has been shown to protect the graphene from breakage up to four times better than traditional polymer encasing methods. The wax is heated once it is applied to the surface causing it to expand across the entire surface and smooth out wrinkles. The wax can be washed away from the graphene without leaving much residue. The researchers are continuing their work to scale up the system to larger sheets of graphene as well as applying their technique to the fabrication processes of other 2-D materials.

It can be interesting to view that although the songs industry is collapsing, and getting in ways that this has not in the past music educational institutions on the other hand are getting larger and larger. They prove a lot more graduated pupils each year and now some are even commencing bachelor programs. If tearing folks off for relate levels had not been ample in a sector where by merely one inside a thousand will even get themselves an internship inside true music industry surroundings. The internship is nothing to get enthusiastic about, as that person then will be required to be a working child and benefit cost-free taking neglect from everyone all around them. It happens to be easier to go directly too employed in a department store, as the personal loan can at least begin becoming paid back. It was actually remarkable to me how the feeling in the students and professors contrasted so harshly when I is at the school myself. I traveled to the main songs college based in winter park, Fl and without stating any brands which should make it simple sufficient for anybody to discover.
Many of the faculty there have been basically previous pupils which could not obtain a work somewhere else. A lot of were dismal, underpaid and aimed to instruct everyone else the truth of your rest of the world. The amusing point was that no-one was buying it, and everyone which i got in touch with believed that they might help it become large by themselves as soon as they graduated. I remember requesting one of the graduate students on my initially day time, graduation was held than for some reason, the things they thought about the institution and hear that you receive out of it what you devote. It was a key phrase that was repetitive to we all numerous occasions through the college 12 months and seems was something that you just discovered to mention to other people. I found myself quite blessed, however, not really, just harassed and created interactions with the proper men and women to get personally an internship at a spotify promotion Business right away.
After I got in to the work issues turned out extremely diversely than was explained if you ask me with the institution, but when compared to the rest of my type I used to be very privileged as no one landed something beneficial. I did so my half a year for free, and just as the cash started off arriving the studios all around me did start to close straight down. I could find a niche within a foreign communicating industry and started off an archive content label which managed terrain a good number of strikes on the fm radio and this moved me along. This became in no component accomplished with the aid of the location office, which despite the fact that I inquired multiple times could not a single thing more than produce addresses in the nevertheless present tunes studios. It was so diverse before I signed up when i heard which they basically ensure of having everyone a task. When I arrived in to the snapshot the tunes industry was nonetheless quite strong, the good news is after reading news reports I believe it is hard to imagine in which these schools get all of their students.

Two European-led consortia are bidding for what could be Iran's first independent power project (IPP) – a combined cycle plant in the northwest. The proposed gas-fired Parehsar power plant near Rasht would have a capacity of 900 MW and cost about $600 million to build.
Bids for the project were submitted on 23 September to Iran Power Development Company (IPDC), an Energy Ministry subsidiary in charge of the IPP programme.
One bidding group consists of the private Saudi Oger, Japan's Nissho Iwai Corporation and an unidentified European power developer.
A rival bid comes from a Turkish subsidiary of Brussels-based Unit International and the local Iran Power Plant Projects Management Company (Mapna).
Evaluation of the bids and subsequent negotiations will take some time, industry sources say. The Iranian side is offering guarantees against expropriation and is guaranteeing hard currency repatriation, but Tehran is new to IPPs and the country's first such project will require prolonged discussion, one of the bidders says.
The Energy Ministry has been promoting IPPs in recent years to mobilise private funds in the country and abroad to more than treble national capacity to 96,000 MW over the next 22 years.
At least four IPP projects are planned for tendering by the end of 2001 by IPDC. The Parehsar scheme is the second under tender since 1999.
IPDC has been negotiating with the Jeddahbased Islamic Development Bank (IDB) since 1999 over guarantee conditions for the first $62.5 million tranche of an IDB loan for a 900-1,000-MW IPP in Kerman (MEED 11:2:00).
'Either Parehsar or Kerman will become the test case for IPPs in Iran, ' says an official of a European power company.

Back again
First, I'd like to say, thank you to all of you who responded to my last entry (and especially to Mushu). I guess I had known that all along, but had dispairigingly forgotten what was important. It's good having you all ere to remind me.
So anyhow, it's Sunday night, and I've made good progress with the design of the second to last level. Not much to say about it, it's really all more of the same. Well, I mean, there's innovation in the design, and I'm always offering unique and origional environments, but let's face it, I've been drawing these damn graphs on and off for about a year. I'm a little tired of rulers, graph paper, and mechanical pencils altogether.
But on a happier note, I got around to some gaming today. I've been trying out different MMORPGs to see if I can actually find one to suit my needs. Tried a free one called Flyff. Loved it at first. Interface was great, loved the graphics (even though they were kinda cutesy). It was fun to play, level, and guess what... you can fly! Worlds first fly-compatible MMO, with floating islands to explore and everything. It's nice and big, and lots of people play it. Problem? It's just levelgrinding. The quests basically completely suck, and have no depth. After you fly at level 20, there's nothing to encourage you beyond that (besides new equipment and the prospect of being... higher level?). I just wasn't motivated at all to keep playing. Oh, and the community is aweful. Everyones a complete ***hole, and the communication interface sucks, which doesn't help the situation.
Went back and looked at Ultima Online. First MMO I ever played (I was something like 9 or 10 years old). Didn't download it again, though, cause I figure that ol' horse has been beaten to death over the years, and it's probably a dead game by now. I also downloaded Ragnarok Online. Only had to play it for about an hour to realize that A) the interface sucks, B) the combat is unbalanced, and, C) No one plays it anymore.
I can't really find an MMO to suit my needs, which is unfortunate. I just want a game that plays smoothly, has a strong community, and motivates me to keep playing. I remember WoW. It had everything! I progressed in levels, I met new people, I was constantly motivated, it looked great, it played well, and it was rewarding. And then I got to end-game, and fast. I realized that the progression stopped. There was no more leveling, nothing new. Beyond that, I was a paladin, so a well-rouned character that was respected by all quickly became an unwanted buff-bot.
I figure this: I go and buy a console game, and I pay x amount of money for x amount of content. If I'm paying constantly, I should be getting good hard content constantly. It shouldn't stop at level 20. And in games where you can (like in WoW) reach level cap in 1 or 2 months, it shouldn't even stop there! Ugh, whatever. I'm going to go get work done.
Keep it real.
PS: While playing Flyff, I ran into a character called Mithrandir... could it be?
