Japan Suffers Large Aftershock; Tsunami Warning Issued, Lifted
29 March 2011
Japan triple disaster the latest
As misery continues since the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident hit north-eastern Japan on 11 March, the police say the death toll has reached 11,603 dead, with 17,258 missing.
The headquarters station of the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) in Tokyo, JA1RL became a disaster communication centre in the days immediately after the disaster.
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 3 Secretary, Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP reports that they transmitted rescue requests including the needs of refugee centre facilities down to the basics of electricity, water and gas supplies.
Ken JA1CJP said that hand-held VHF and UHF transceivers are now being delivered to the local disaster relief centres.
"The equipment is being used to establish VHF/UHF networks for refugee centres and local disaster relief," he said.
HF communications for disaster relief are still being operated occasionally by some volunteer radio amateurs, but JARL HQ stations were off the air by Friday, 25 March.
"JARL expresses its appreciation to all radio amateurs for their cooperation to keep 7.030MHz clear for disaster relief communications," said Ken JA1CJP.
While relief efforts continue, concerns are still being expressed about the crippled Fukushima plant that is the worst nuclear accident in Japan's history. The crisis has still not been overcome.
It's a worrying time for the plant damaged by the earthquake and tsunami – measuring 8.9 on the Ritcher scale and the worst for that nation in 140-years.

Radio Amateurs in Japan Still Providing Communications Support
Amateur Radio operators became involved in the rescue effort soon after the March 11 8.9 earthquake and devastating tsunami that hit northern Japan, and that effort continues nearly two weeks later. "In the early stage following the earthquake and tsunami, several radio amateurs were able to activate their stations with car batteries or small engine generators, despite the electric power outages," IARU Region 3 Secretary Ken Yamamoto, JA1CJP, told the ARRL. "They transmitted rescue requests and information on the disaster situation -- including refugee centers and their needs -- and the availability of basic infrastructures, such as electricity, water and gas supplies." After the earthquake and tsunami, there was no electricity, water or gas service in many of the affected areas.
In his report to the ARRL, Yamamoto said that the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) quickly activated JA1RL, its headquarters station in Tokyo, to assist in the rescue effort. With the help of many other amateurs, it also activated its regional headquarters station JA3RL in Osaka to communicate with amateurs in the areas devastated by the tsunami, including its Tohoku headquarters station JA7RL in Sendai. "The communications were mostly on the 7 MHz band in daytime and the 3.5 MHz band at night," Yamamoto explained. "Short range communications were also made on the 144 and 430 MHz bands. The information gathered through Amateur Radio communications was reported to the rescue and disaster relief organizations for their appropriate deployment. Some other amateurs accepted health-and-welfare inquiries from the [impacted] areas and then posted the information on the Internet."
Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications -- that country's equivalent of the FCC -- approved the use of an additional 300 UHF/VHF transceivers in the affected areas.
With gasoline and natural gas in short supply, Yamamoto said that the fuel shortage was "a very serious problem in the cold climate. Calls for fuel were received over radio from many disaster areas, but delivery remained very difficult at least for the first week as the access roads were hacked up everywhere. Several days later, some Amateur Radio clubs reached the affected areas with their radio equipment and established communications for supporting disaster relief."
Yamamoto told the ARRL that several radio equipment manufacturers offered "hundreds of VHF/UHF transceivers to JARL for the use at refugee centers and local disaster relief centers. These transceivers should help to establish mutual communications between refugee and disaster relief centers, and to facilitate smooth and appropriate delivery of disaster relief goods."
As of noon JST on March 23 (0300 UTC), Japanese authorities announced that 9408 people have been killed and another 14,716 people have been reported missing in the earthquake and tsunami.

Japanese earthquake disaster facts emerge
Japan remains under its worst threat to an ever rising toll, widespread destruction, power, fuel and water shortages follow the massive earthquake, tsunami and failed 40-year old nuclear power station.
IARU Region 3 Secretary, Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP said the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) HQ station JA1RL and other amateur stations are maintaining their effort to support the disaster relief operation.
Ken JA1CJP said, ''In less damaged areas, the electric power supply is being restored gradually and local amateur radio club members have started to establish stations at shelters."
The information is being coordinated as part of an organised rescue and relief effort. It seems likely to continue for some weeks and months to come.
The 8.9 on the Richter scale quake hit off north-eastern Sendai and triggered a ten-metre tsunami on Friday.
Ken JA1CJP quoting local news sources said, "The situation is getting worse. On March 15, police announced that 2,414 people have been killed (up from 1,627 24 hours earlier) and 3,118 are reported missing (about double in the same period).
"Some 55,380 houses/buildings were damaged by the earthquake and 3,000 houses washed away by the tsunami."
Rescue teams have arrived and started their activities in the affected areas. They came from many nations including Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, China, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Russia.
In all the Japanese government has received help from 91 nations and territories and nine international organisations.
Ken JA1CJP said another worry is leakage of radio-active gasses at the Fukushima nuclear plant which was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami.
A shortage of fuel, disruption to rail and road transport have been reported from many affected areas still recovering from the worst earthquake in 140 years followed by a widespread tsunami that swept away so much.
JA1RL continues to operate under instruction to be an emergency traffic centre and increasingly receiving help from JARL members in the affected area.
It is using the 7 MHz SSB, 144 MHz SSB/FM and 430 MHz SSB/FM.
Many other stations are active and are using various frequencies including some battery powered and others using small generators to exchange rescue and disaster relief operation information with JA1RL and others.
While 3525, 7030, 7043 and 7075 have been mentioned as in use, it's wise to keep those and all of the Centre of Emergency (CoA) clear of normal and non-urgent traffic. There is no call for additional foreign radio amateurs.

Radio Amateurs in Japan Provide Communications Support after Earthquake
Yamamoto said that JA1RL continues to operate as an emergency traffic center on 7.030 MHz, as well as 2 meters and 70 cm. It is receiving and reporting news from Japanese amateurs who are in the affected area. Using battery power or small generators, Japanese stations are active and are using various frequencies to exchange rescue and disaster relief operation information with JA1RL and others.

"While 3.525, 7.030, 7.043 and 7.075 MHz have been mentioned as in use, it's wise to keep those -- and all of the Center of Emergency frequencies -- clear of normal and non-urgent traffic," said IARU Region 3 Disaster Communications Committee Chairman Jim Linton, VK3PC, who added that there is no call for additional foreign radio amateurs in Japan.
Yamamoto said that information is being coordinated as part of an organized rescue and relief effort and seems likely to continue for weeks and months to come. Quoting local news sources, Yamamoto said that the situation in Japan is getting worse. On March 15, police announced that 2414 people have been killed -- up from 1627 reported just 24 hours earlier -- and 3118 are reported missing. Some 55,380 houses and buildings were damaged by the earthquake and 3000 houses washed away by the tsunami.
Rescue teams -- from Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, China, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Russia -- have arrived in Japan and have started their activities in the affected areas.

Massive Earthquake Hits Japan, Tsunami Warnings Issued
An 8.9 earthquake struck Japan at 2:46 JST (0546 UTC) on Friday, March 11. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), this is largest earthquake in 140 years to hit the island nation. The earthquake occurred in the western Pacific Ocean, 81 miles east of Sendai, Honshu, Japan. Its epicenter was 232 miles from Tokyo. News reports by the Tokyo Broadcasting System indicate that at least 200 people have died and another 88,000 are missing in six different prefectures. The quake triggered tsunami waves as high as 33 feet off the coast of Japan.
At this time, there are no reports of Amateur Radio involvement in the disaster response. Even so, IARU Region 1 Emergency Communications Coordinator Greg Mossop, G0DUB, has asked that extra care be taken so as to not interfere with any emergency traffic. The IARU Region III Emergency Center of Activity frequencies are 3.600, 7.110, 14.300, 18.160 and 21.360 MHz. Other suggested emergency frequencies being reported by Amateur Radio operators from Japan include 7.130, 14.230 and 21.230 MHz.
Icko Suzuki, JA1BPA, of Tokyo, told the ARRL that telephone lines and the Internet are "okay for the JA1 (Tokyo) area, but the Miyagi, Fukushima and Iwate prefectures (JA7 area) are hard hit and I cannot reach my brother who lives there." Suzuki said that in Japan, emergency communications activities and support normally occur on 40 meters and on VHF, "so normal DX bands should not be affected."
In Hawaii, Ron Hashiro, AH6RH, told the ARRL that his state is preparing for a tsunami: "The water level at Kahului Harbor -- the main harbor on the Island of Maui -- dropped 5 feet at 3:54 this morning HST (1354 UTC)." A quake measuring 4.5 was felt in Hawaii, 150 minutes following the Japan tremor.
Less than an hour after the Sendai earthquake hit, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) in Honolulu, Hawaii, issued a Tsunami Warning for the State of Hawaii, saying that "an earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours."
The PTWC also issued a Tsunami Warning for Japan, Russia, the Marcus Islands, the Northern Marianas Islands, Guam, Wake Island and Taiwan. A Tsunami Watch was issued for Yap, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Belau, Midway Island, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Johnston Island, the Solomon Islands and Kiribati.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) in Palmer, Alaska, issued a Tsunami Warning for the coastal areas of California and Oregon from Point Concepcion, California to the Oregon-Washington border and for the coastal areas of Alaska from Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles west of Adak) to Attu, Alaska. A Tsunami Advisory was issued for the coastal areas of California from the California-Mexico border to Point Concepcion, California and for the coastal areas of Washington, British Columbia and Alaska from the Oregon-Washington border to Amchitka Pass, Alaska.
A tsunami is a series of long ocean waves. Each individual wave crest can last 5-15 minutes or more, and extensively flood coastal areas. The danger can continue for many hours after the initial wave as subsequent waves arrive. Tsunami wave heights cannot be predicted and the first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami waves efficiently wrap around islands. All shores are at risk, no matter which direction they face. The trough of a tsunami wave may temporarily expose the seafloor, but the area will quickly flood again. Extremely strong and unusual near-shore currents can accompany a tsunami. Debris picked up and carried by a tsunami amplifies its destructive power. Simultaneous high tides or high surf can significantly increase the tsunami hazard.
According to the BBC, coastal areas in the Philippines, and other parts of the Pacific were evacuated ahead of the tsunami's expected arrival. The first waves, currently about 4 feet high, have started reaching Hawaii. New Zealand downgraded its alert to a marine threat, meaning strong and unusual currents were expected.
Initially reported as 7.9 by the USGC, the magnitude of the Japan earthquake was quickly restated as 8.8 and then 8.9. According to the USGS, this earthquake is the fifth strongest quake in the world since 1900, the seventh largest in recorded history and the largest tremor to hit quake-prone Japan in 140 years. The largest quake ever recorded hit Chile in 1960, measuring 9.5.
As of now, the only entities conducting emergency nets are the Oregon ARES®/RACES on 3.964 MHz and SATERN on 14.265 MHz. As the ARRL hears of more emergency nets related to the earthquake and tsunamis, we will post this information and frequencies on the ARRL EmComm Twitter page and the ARRL website.

Letusan suria ganggu isyarat radio, satelit
Gelombang kuat partikel plasma tercaj yang terpancar dari tompok matahari sebesar planet Jupiter itu, iaitu yang terkuat dalam tempoh empat tahun, sudah mengganggu komunikasi radio di selatan China.
Pancaran kelas X itu, iaitu yang terbesar dalam kategorinya, meletus pada 9.56 pagi kelmarin.
"Ia adalah insiden suria yang paling kuat dan mampu menyebabkan gangguan radio serta ribut radiasi berpanjangan dan mengganggu telekomunikasi serta grid kuasa," menurut NASA.
Ribut geomagnetik biasanya berlarutan 24 hingga 48 jam tetapi ada antaranya mampu bertahan sehingga beberapa hari.
Sistem navigasi seperti GPS juga akan teruk terjejas. - AFP

Radio communication still kicking
In a growing age of cell phones, radio seems like an outdated mode of communication, but Tauranga Emergency Communications Group president Brian Heywood says amateur radio is still very much alive and kicking.
Gordon Cooper explains the radios to Timi and Hamiria Tawa at Gate Pa shopping centre.
"It's not outdated. We are used by the Police for search and rescue and civil defence when they need radio communication."
Celebrating Amateur Radio Day on Saturday, shoppers at Gate Pa shopping centre can experience how to use amateur radio communication. Brian says they have been communicating with other amateur radio users across the country.
"We have set up a van here with various different types of radios, and have been talking to Hamilton and Napier this morning. Just before, we overheard a conversation between a chap in Arizona and a man in Hamilton."
Using the frequency of 3.6MHz, Brian says "you would normally expect to be able to get all the way down New Zealand on that frequency. Using radio repeaters through the internet, you can talk to overseas as well".
Amateur radio, or ham radio, is what Brian describes as a "multipurpose hobby", where people use radio communication equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public services, recreation and self-training.
"We aren't here to make money out of it. It is a great way to make international friendship. One of the men here went for a trip through the United States 10 years ago, and he stayed with hams all the way through. It just opens up a sphere of friendship"
The Tauranga Emergency Communications Group, or Branch 88, currently has 15 members. There is also a Tauranga District Amateur Radio Club and a branch in Te Puke. For more information call Brian on 543 3677.

|Shell Charset?
|Sun, 05 May 2013 22:49:46 GMT
In o.a.a.core.uti.shell.commands.OptUtil, I notice that getStartRow and getEndRow, use the following snippet to read their arguments: new Text(cl.getOptionValue(END_ROW_OPT).getBytes(Shell.CHARSET)); Here, Shell.CHARSET is set to ISO-8859-1 This seems to mean that if I use UTF-8 characters (unescaped) from the shell to set my begin or end row, that I will not get what I expect because the conversion from String to bytes would be performed using the incorrect character set. For example, in the following snippet, testIso fails while testUTF succeeds (when the encoding of the source file is UTF-8): @Test public void testISO() throws Exception { String s = "本条目是介紹"; String charset = "ISO-8859-1"; Text t = new Text(s.getBytes(charset)); Assert.assertEquals(s, t.toString()); } @Test public void testUTF() throws Exception { String s = "本条目是介紹"; String charset = "UTF-8"; Text t = new Text(s.getBytes(charset)); Assert.assertEquals(s, t.toString()); } Possibly this should be locale dependent behavior? Also, perhaps I'm missing the fact that the Shell is not supposed to support UTF-8 characters in start and end ranges, and users must escape their strings appropriately. (Which would be a bit of a pain). - Drew

The USS Stewart, a destroyer escort, at SeaWolf Park had been restored since being damaged during Hurricane Ike Sept. 13, 2008.
Before dawn Thursday, police found four men hiding aboard the ship, which they had covered with fire extinguisher powder. The men allegedly sprayed the substance over the deck and much of the ship's interior.
Penny Miller, the executive director of the American Undersea Warfare Center at the park, said the solvent they sprayed would add to the ship's rust problem. Volunteers, mostly veterans, had worked to repair the rust damage after Ike.

S T A N / W F P C 2 - Number 32, June 1998
- WFPC2 Data Analysis Tutorial Issued
- New Drizzle Tutorial / Tasks Released
- Non-Proprietary WFPC2 Parallels During the Second NIC3 Campaign
- The Automatic Notification Tool (ANT)
WFPC2 Data Analysis Tutorial Issued:
by S. Gonzaga and the WFPC2 Group
A step-by-step tutorial for basic reduction of WFPC2 data has been developed by Shireen Gonzaga and the WFPC2 group. Topics include general issues such as retrieving the data from the archives, displaying the image, instructions for calibration and recalibration of the data, a section on photometry, and a listing of other sources of related information. This tutorial provides a more detailed, hands-on approach than the Data Handbook which was designed to provide a higher level summary of a much wider set of topics.
New Drizzle Tutorial / Tasks Released:
by A. Fruchter
A "beta" release of new tasks for the removal of cosmic rays from dithered data is now available. Associated with these tasks is an updated and enlarged version of the tutorial on removing cosmic rays from dithered data first published by Max Mutchler and Andy Fruchter in the 1997 Calibration Workshop. The tasks and the tutorial can be found in the "DitherII" section of "Andy's Dithering Page": www.stsci.edu/~fruchter/dither.
Non-Proprietary WFPC2 Parallels During the Second NIC3 Campaign:
by S. Casertano
WFPC2 is continuing to take non-proprietary parallel images under proposal 7909 during the majority of the second NIC3 campaign. The telescope has been refocused to achieve optimal focus in NIC3, therefore these WFPC2 images are somewhat out of focus. While the PSF is strongly degraded in the Planetary Camera, the quality of the images in the Wide Field Cameras is only slightly degraded compared to normal circumstances.
Of special interest may be the WFPC2 images taken under program 8013, which runs parallel with the complete NICMOS map of the Hubble Deep Field (PI Mark Dickinson, GO 7817). These WFPC2 parallel images are taken in the same filters as the original Hubble Deep Field, and together they will produce a moderately deep four-filter image of a field about 5' away from the original HDF.
Data for both the normal parallels (proposal 7909) and the HDF parallels (proposal 8013) are immediately available to the public through the HST data archive.
Please note that a small fraction of the HDF parallels have been taken with two-filter combinations (F791W+F814W and F555W+F606W), which can be used to offset the defocus of the camera. Because of the relatively small focus change, the two-filter approach proved unnecessary, and we have reverted to the normal filters after the first four visits.
The Automatic Notification Tool (ANT):
While one of our goals is to provide an efficient and stable Long Range Plan (LRP), we have always recognized that there will be times when the LRP will need to be modified to react to observatory changes, new planning requirements, and proposal changes. Since changes in a visit's plan window can affect your work schedule, we want to quickly and consistently alert you when changes occur.
For this purpose we have developed the Automatic Notification Tool. This tool detects significant plan window changes and, for any program with at least one changed visit, automatically generates and e-mails a report to the the PI or designated contact, PC, and CS.
The ANT will be run weekly starting the week of June 29, 1998. If you have any questions or comments you may direct them to your PC or CS.
We draw your attention to these papers, based on WF/PC and WFPC2 data, that will appear in the next few months. This list includes all preprints received by the STScI Library not yet published in the journals. Please remember to include our Library in your preprint distribution list.

Miley Cyrus Invites Kellan Lutz For New Year's Eve Concert
Miley is expected to wow the crowd when she performs at Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Concert in NYC, and she's hoping one special person will be there to support her. HollywoodLife.com has all the EXCLUSIVE details on the singer's romantic plans for the big night.
Looks like Miley Cyrus may already have a date for New Year's Eve. The 'Wreaking Ball' singer "wants Kellan Lutz to be her VIP guest" at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve concert at Times Square in New York City on Dec. 31. Will the Twilight actor accept?
Miley Cyrus Wants Kellan Lutz To Be Her New Year's Eve Date
On Dec. 18 Miley and Kellan were both spotted getting into the same private jet in Miami headed to Barbados. According to Us Weekly, the two are more than just friends and have been spending lots of time together. So it makes perfect sense that the sexy singer wants the famous stud to be her special date on New Year's Eve.
"Miley wants Kellan to be her guest at Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve Concert in New York. Miley is super excited to perform and she's going to be doing something very exciting for the show. Something she's never done before and wants Kellan to be her VIP guest. There's a huge party after the concert as well," an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
[hl_youtube src="http://youtu.be/7qu65saIa20″ link="http://youtu.be/7qu65saIa20″ text="Miley's 'Adore You' Video Reaches #1″]
Even though Kellan claims that he's single, the two have been "really enjoying each other's company". The muscle man reportedly reached out to Miley in early December and expressed an interest in hanging out.
"The next day they hung out and they've been hanging out ever since."
Miley's Sexy 'Adore You' Video Leaks
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Miley's hot new music video for her song 'Adore You' leaked late on Dec. 25.
In the steamy video, Miley leaves little to the imagination, as she tenderly strokes herself! What does Kellan think of her tantalizing moves? Surely he has seen the video by now.
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers, should Kellan accept Miley's invitation and spend new Year's Eve with Miley? Do YOU think Liam will be upset?

To Make Ahead: Store granola in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
If you've never made your own granola, you'll be amazed at the difference in freshness and flavor-and at how easy it is. Use this recipe as a starting point for your own creativity: substitute dried blueberries or chopped dried apricots for the cranberries, or walnuts or hazelnuts for the almonds.
Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven; preheat to 325degreesF. Coat 2 large baking sheets with sides with cooking spray.
Whisk apple juice concentrate, maple syrup, oil and brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cinnamon and salt.
Mix oats, wheat germ, almonds and sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Stir in the juice mixture; toss to coat. Spread the granola evenly on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the granola for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Reverse sheets top to bottom and back to front. Continue baking until lightly browned and aromatic, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks; stir 1/2 cup dried cranberries into the granola on each sheet. Let cool completely.

'Home' by Janet Dowd - songs with the quality to touch all who hear them(July 21, 2017)
Listening to Janet Dowd, whether singing her own songs or covering the work of other writers, the experience is always one of gentle reflection as she pours so much feeling into song. Her voice has a warm characteristic that reaches out to touch the listener, coupled that to a 'closeness' that comes from her empathy with the lyrics, and the songs on her latest album 'Home' have the quality to touch all who hear them.
Opening with Eric Bogle's 'All The Fine Young Men', her voice brings out the song's desperate futility, the same happens with the quiet remembrance of hope pouring through 'County Down' by Tommy Sands, as does the longing within Dougie MacLean's 'Garden Valley'. The originals include similar powerful messages ... the enduring pull of home and need to become part of your own story through 'Westport Town', a sorrowful tale of love, murder and a ghost searching for lost love in 'Forbidden Love' and with 'A Simpler Life' reflections on that moment we all reach when peace comes through acceptance.
And that's the essential attractiveness of 'Home' ... recognition, understanding, appreciation and admitting life's vagaries, and living whatever occurs.
Playing alongside Janet on 'Home' are Donogh Hennessy (guitars, keys, bass, programming) Alan Doherty (whistles) Jimmy Higgins (percussion) Martin Brunsden(double bass) Naimh Varian Barry (violin & viola) Tom Leary (fiddle) Dessie Kelliher (banjo) Pauline Scanlon and Teresa Horgan (backing vocals) Brendan Goff (piano) and Colin Henry (Dobro).

The Garden Cities Trophy is the EBU's inter-county championship for club teams-of-eight.
Individual players may participate in qualifying rounds in more than one County (subject to meeting the eligibility requirements of that County), but only for one club within any particular County. Having once represented a club, a player may not subsequently change his allegiance to some other club from within the same county at any stage of the competition. Bridge clubs with dual allegiance to counties must choose in which county they wish to qualify, and specify this to the EBU prior to the start of the first qualifying competition in which they will be participating. Counties must ensure that all entrants to their qualifying competition are members of the club they represent.
Entries should be submitted by the affiliated Club Secretary, who should be satisfied by the credentials of the players. Players must be members of the affiliated club, and must have been members for at least three months immediately prior to the closing date for entry to the county competition – in instances when the qualifying event is not a 'one-off competition', but a longer, 'league' format, point 1 of the Regional/National Regulations below applies. Moreover, nominated players must play regularly at the club or for the club, or contribute regularly in some other way, or have met this criterion in previous years, yet be unable to currently do so through some personal circumstance (e.g. illness, work, childcare, etc.).
It is left to individual clubs themselves to ensure that their members meet the criteria outlined below and are thus eligible to represent them. Clubs are also asked to ensure that their representatives match the ethos of the competition. If any complaints are received that a team does not meet these criteria, the club will be required to explain why they believe the players to be eligible.
For the purpose of the Regional and National Final of the event, the following regulations will apply:
- 1. All players must be bona fide members of the club they represent, and must have been so for at least three months prior to the closing date for these stages of the competition.
- 2. All players must be members of the EBU, but they are not required to owe primary allegiance to the County they represent.
- 3. Players may represent one club only in the combined Regional/National phase of the competition.
- 4. Teams are limited to eight playing members at each stage, although not necessarily the same eight in the Regional and National Final.
- 5. Please see also the regulations applying to County Allegiance.
Regional finals
The Regional finals will be run as all-play-all events on Saturday 21st April 2018, and will start at 1pm and finish at approximately 8.30pm. Up to 50 boards will be played, with the winners and runners-up in each region qualifying for the National Final.

Windows 8 Release Preview date implies November 2012 release
As noted previously, the Windows 8 Release Preview will be out first week of June. It appears that this is, in effect, the release candidate. For Windows 7, there was a five month delay from release candidate to final release (May to October, 2009). This suggests that Windows 8 will be released by November.
If you've been waiting to update your drivers, or to start testing on Windows 8, it's time to get started. The conversion is not terribly hard; the biggest issue, if you have a large collection of drivers, is the change in the build system (from makefile-based to msbuild.exe based -- basically XML-controlled builds). Microsoft ships a tool to convert things, but it's somewhat incomplete; and if your automation depends on the structure of the build tree, you'll probably have to fix things up. (Makefile.inc processing is particularly troublesome.) In some ways, the new scheme is a step backward, because it's not as mature as build.exe; so some of the things that used to be possible (but difficult) from inside the old framework are now much more difficult (or impossible) in the new framework.
I'm looking forward to Windows 8; though I'm kind of bummed out that Microsoft is not going to support a DDK for WinRT (formerly Windows on Arm). There are lots of interesting things that one could do with a WinRT tablet that are not as easy if you have to live in user mode -- there are no TAP drivers in WinRT, as far as I know, and there's no general PTY mechanism; I guess I'll just have to wait for some kind of tablet running an x86-architecture CPU.

In general, the best diets for dogs with pancreatitis use low-fat and easily digestible foods, according to PetMD. For short-term treatment of acute pancreatitis, this may take the form of boiled chicken and rice. Dogs that need to be on maintenance diets may benefit from a commercial low-fat food, such as Purina EN or Hill's Prescription Diet i/d, as recommended by 2ndChance.info.Continue Reading
Generally, dogs with pancreatitis should eat foods with a fat content of less than 10 percent, according to Fetch. There are some commercial diets that do not specifically target pancreatitis but still meet these requirements, including Innova Low Fat Adult, Natural Balance Ultra Reduced and Blue Buffalo Senior. Raw diets may also meet these requirements, and there are commercial raw meals available for dogs, such as Nature's Variety Instinct.
Dogs that are prone to chronic pancreatitis may need additional supplements to aid in digestion as well, notes 2ndchance.info. They may need to take a multivitamin, which helps make up for the difficulty they may have digesting fat-soluble vitamins. Digestive enzymes may also help.
Pancreatitis is a potentially life-threatening medical condition, so dogs exhibiting symptoms should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, recommends The Whole Dog Journal. The veterinarian can help provide appropriate feeding recommendations. Dogs with acute pancreatitis may eventually be able to return to a normal diet.Learn more about Veterinary Health

Finally... we made it to John's parents. After 3 full days of travel we were quite happy to roll out of what seemed to be a shrinking mini van... unload, unwind and unpack. We settled in and got comfy for a weeks stay.
The leg room I was working with on day 3 of the drive.
Thank goodness I'm a small person with short legs. Lesson learned for our next travel experience... DO NOT pack so much!!
The S Family Portrait
taken by the amazing tripod.
probably going to be trying out for Cirque du Soleil with that tricky move.
Mason meeting his Papa for the first time.
John's parents broke out his old bicycle from 1986ish.
The kids were making games from random garage stuff.
John went out one night for a mini reunion with some old college roomies.
A-K-rowdy. The blue house on Brown street looks like it's about to fall apart!
We entertained the kids with a trip to see Chucky.
The kids were obsessed with Papa's tractor!
All Mason wanted to do was spinjitzu with his lego ninjago moves.
We "tried" to feed the ducks in the green pond but they wanted nothing to do with the popcorn.
Kellen's not sure what the heck Adrian was doing... :)
These duck parents had about 21 babies. Really. Wow.
The popular and very photogenic bench swing at the park :)
Prison bars for the shorties.
The neighbors broke out their water toys and all the kids joined in.
Mason was playing hard to get with his cousin.
Poor Adrian takes after his mama and got a couple bites from a mosquito. His poor little ankle swollen for days. But at least it wasn't fire ants!
First time playing putt putt.
Grandma Honey was showing them how it's done on the putt putt course.
Then it turned into a free-for-all and they started playing hockey and baseball.
We had a fun night with John's childhood neighbor and lifelong friend Nick and his family.
We cooked out and burned a bed :)
Adrian and Nick's daughter Olivia looking super cute together. Adrian accidentally put on the wrong shoes.
John's grandma Madeline meeting her fourth great grandson from us. Back when it was just 3. And then back when it was just 2 (only because we left one behind).

Hey, baby... I'm sitting here lonely,
Goin' crazy,
Hopin' that there's a chance that maybe
Oh baby, you could drop on by
Yeah, darling
You don't have to give me any wanting
Make it tonight, make it early mornin'
Oh darling, just drop on by
I don't have a clue where you might be
Uptown or just down the street in some smokey bar
Ohhh, I'm a longin' for you
Can't help myself
Sendin' out my SOS wherever you are
Ohhhhhh, honey,
I just want your love, I don't need your money
You can turn my gray skies warm and sunny,
Oh honey, would ya drop on by?
Ohh, you and this bottle of warm red wine
Are both workin' on my mind, and I need ya now
To fill this emptiness in my soul,
Boy if you were here I'd never let go no way, no how
Heyyy sugar,
I know if we could get back together
We could make this night last forever
Ohh sugar, would ya drop on by?
Just drop on by
Drop on by
Ohh baby, drop on by

I'm playing $10nl full ring Zoom Poker, winning at a rather ridiculous rate over a very small sample (not yet to 10,000 hands). At some point I'll move up, but Zoom, like it's ancestor Rush Poker, is a variance monster and I want to have a solid idea how I want to play before putting my small post-Black Friday online bankroll at risk. Some thoughts so far:
- Even the fish are playing tighter (see the VPIP stats in the lobby) because they can quickly fold their marginal hands. It's much harder to fold when you're a beginner playing only one regular cash table.
- Because of the anonymity some players will do things and do them over and over again because you don't stay at the same table. No one "sees" you do this over and over again, though some player will have stat trackers.
Some of the repeated plays that I'm seeing:
- stealing from late position or the small blind,
- open shoving preflop,
- donking into the preflop raiser or it's inverse, raising or check-raising continuation bets,
- squeeze plays, and
- general (non-squeeze) three-betting preflop.
Some of these things are much more common at higher levels of play than $10nl and I'm not certain yet whether the high frequency of occurrence is from players from higher levels playing at lower levels or from players who have just decided to try them out. The three-betting and sometimes the calling of three-bets are much more frequent than normal 10nl games, but are also particularly weak as you often get raised the minimum or slightly more – well under recommended three-bet sizing, and with marginal hands like Ax suited or middle pocket pairs, and when you three-bet you often get called with similarly weak dominated hands or hands lacking sufficient implied odds.
But overall my approach is pretty simple:
- Open raise everything from the button if no one has opened
- Open raise everything from the cut off position if the button seems tight
- Fold everything from the small blind unless it's worthy of three betting
- Open raise all pocket pairs as well as suited connectors and suited one-gappers 56 and 57 and above from all positions
- Use standard TAG starting hands by position for all other hands
- Raise AK/AA/KK/QQ/JJ larger than other hands to get value and because I don't think anyone at this level is tracking bet sizing
- Always three-bet/shove AK/QQ/JJ. I may trap with AA/KK
That's preflop. Keep in mind this is designed for $10nl 9 player Zoom Poker as I see it playing right now.
My weaknesses tend to be:
- Calling preflop rather than three betting too often, including from the blinds with hands that I think dominate a stealing range. I really don't play well without the initiative and without reads/stats regardless regardless whether or not I have position.
- Continuation betting too often (85%) when the fold rate is marginal (40%, lower fold rate than Rush Poker; see this post about continuation betting http://www.anon-poker-blog.com/index/poker-basics-for-beginners/instructional-basic-poker/continuation-bet-success-rate/
- Not being able to fold to "bad" aggression from my opponent. "Bad" meaning min-raises, overbets, strange lines like min-bet flop, pot-bet turn, etc
- Trying to outplay these opponents. Its nice when you can call down a three barrel bluff with an underpair on the flop, but I really should not be trying to do this at Zoom Poker because I don't have enough stats yet to be certain enough that it is a bluff.
So most of my weaknesses tend to be post-flop. A little bit of this is fine when I was starting out, paying off some winning hands to see what my opponent held when making that play, but if I'm going to grind then I have to stop doing that.

Despite common belief, it is not recommended to feed any kind of spare bones to dogs. Rib bones can upset a dog's stomach or even become lodged in a dog's throat.Continue Reading
Rib bones in particular can be hazardous to dogs because they are thinner than leg bones, which means they can easily splinter into shard-like pieces that can get stuck in a dog's digestive tract. These bones can also end up exiting the body in an equally splintered way, either through vomit or in the dog's stool. It is much safer to share a little meat with your dog than it is to give them a spare bone.Learn more about Dogs

I'm pretty picky about a clean bathroom/locker room so I really appreciated their attention here. -The people at the desk and the floor were all extremely friendly and helpful. - All this and I found out the cost of the gym is a fraction of my NYC standard. If I lived in the area I would definitely be here everyday!!!
Heshie Z.,
I joined Optimal after having been a member at another fitness facility for many years. I needed a change and wanted to totally re-assess my fitness goals. Optimal has exceeded my expectations! I am working with a very knowledgeable trainer, who challenges me to work towards my goal of having a stronger core, better balance and greater overall physical fitness. These are all my goals as I am getting older and the folks at Optimal "get it." It's got good selection of cardio equipment and rowing machines which clinched it for me!
Kristin M.,
I just wanted to thank you and let you know how much the functional training classes (The Optimal Workout) have changed the way I work out. As an avid gym rat I used to work out every day and take classes but my body just wasn't responding the way I wanted it to. After taking your class I saw results almost immediately. It was as if my entire body was shocked. I learned how to properly squat, lunge, lift, and even mountain climb. These were all moves I have done throughout the years in classes but I was not doing them effectively. My legs, core, and arms have all seen a major change and even my running has improved. Again, thank you so much for your motivation every Monday and Wednesday and for giving me the tools to train effectively.
Amparo Harpel,The Optimal Sport Health Club is one of the most inviting and comfortable fitness centers I have ever participated in. The atmosphere is energetic, the facilities are simple and clean, the equipment is up-to-date, and the staff is super helpful and friendly. I am a senior citizen and really enjoy the large selection of Yoga and Silver Sneaker classes that are offered. The Yoga instructors are top notch. This is truly a gym for all ages!
Janet N.,
I love coming to Optimal because it is the friendliest gym I have ever been to. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, and the clientele is also very friendly. I feel very much at home at Optimal. Thank you so much for a great…no, an Optimal experience!
Ellen H.,
Thank you Optimal for giving me great classes at an affordable price! I love the variety of classes and the great instructors. I love this community!
Sara M.,
I'm a Zumba lover and Optimal delivers. Great instructors! I also just added the spinning classes to my routine and have loved my experience. This is just a great, affordable community.

In the tradition of several of the Gene Autry vehicles of the 1930s, Roy Rogers' Helldorado is built around a real-life frontier celebration. In this instance, the story is set against the backdrop of Las Vegas' annual "Heldorado Week", at which time the Old West came to life in the form of costumed revellers, equine parades and pre-rehearsed stagecoach holdups and bank robberies. Arriving in Las Vegas to participate in the festivities, Roy Rogers ends up crossing six-guns with a gang of gamblers who've...more

Who Owns the Digital?
The issue of digital copyright is one that has yet to be negotiated fully by the state as can be seen by the recent publication of 'The Copyright and Related Rights (Miscilanious Provisions) Bill 2016' (O'Dell 2016). Despite this being drafted in direct response to the Copyright Review Committee's 'Modernising Copyright' document (2013), it has failed to consider the broader implications of digitisation and intellectual property in the current technological climate. It has particularly fallen short in areas relating to 3D recording of cultural heritage and archaeological monuments. In my own work, I have to date, relied upon a general understanding of photographic copyright when producing photogrammetric models and granted/assumed rights of access.
A considered review of these areas in the early stages of my projects has streamlined the process of digitisation and meant that dissemination of data was easily achieved from the outset. It has not however, clarified the issue of copyright in terms of the 3D data produced. This is largely due to the uncertainty surrounding originality of the works being produced and state ownership rights over the monuments themselves. Weinberg's (2016, 9-10) discussion on Expressive[1] and Representational[2] scans has provided some tentative guidance in my own digitization process however.
As models of heritage monuments/artefacts generated from laser scanning or photogrammetry are created to replicate the monument as baseline data for analysis and conservation in perpetuity, they are by definition representational models. Therefore, the degree to which I can express copyright over the resulting models may unfortunately be no more than the degree with which I can claim copyright over a piece of text that I have photocopied from another original, fixed work. A potential gray area may however exist when creating photogrammetric models of heritage monuments that is not observed in scanned data. As photogrammetry uses overlapping sequences of photographs, I may retain copyright over those digital mediums[3] (Figure 1) and potentially the resulting 3D model produced. However, it is still by all accounts a representational model of a monument that belongs to the state and does not constitute an original work in its own right.
In the past I have used photogrammetry to record commemorative stone monuments, largely in the public domain where right of access can be assumed. I have never encountered any issues in capturing or disseminating the results which I had until very recently (with thanks to AFF622), presumed was due to the following reasons:
- Photogrammetry relies on the capture of overlapping photographs of a feature to produce a 3D model and is therefore likely protected under the Freedom of Panorama act.
- There is no copyright on archaeological monuments.
- I have contacted relevant stakeholders (NMS, OPW, heritage officer, city/county council or archaeologist, private landowner etc) to discuss works.
- Right of access has been granted or could be assumed.
- I had adopted an open data ethos from the outset ensuring that all collated data would be freely available for research and would not be of financial gain.
- All stakeholders have been fully acknowledged.
Despite Weinberg's discussion on representational data having clarified some queries in terms of copyright, the issue remains to be tested legally and until it is, I am doubtful of any further (or initial) clarification under the forthcoming 'Copyright and Related Rights (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016'. For now it would appear that instead of asking "Who Owns the Digital", a more constructive question may be "Who owns the Original". Any other issues may better be solved under contract.
[1] those designed explicitly to interpret the scanned object differently, and to imbue the resulting file with expressive purpose that varies in some way from the original"
[2] those designed primarily to transfer a physical thing into a digital medium
[3] Photographs of monuments and landscapes fall under the Freedom of Panorama

Seminary Life
The seminary enrolls on average over 150 full-time residential seminarians each year. They represent more than 25 dioceses from the U.S., as well as overseas. Some seminarians come from religious communities, others are co-sponsored by the Archdiocese for the Military Services.
Seminary students have opportunities for many extracurricular activities including intramural sports, Legion of Mary, the Militia Immaculata, and seminary sponsored social activities such as concerts, lectures, film series and fine arts programs. In addition the seminary sponsors trips to cultural events in nearby Washington, Gettysburg, and Baltimore, as well as an annual pilgrimage to the Holy Land for the Deacon Class.
Seminary Student Government Association (SGA)
The SGA (Student Government Association) represents the student body of the seminary by making known its viewpoints and recommendations to the rector and faculty for living out the Program of Priestly Formation in all its dimensions: academic life, spiritual formation, the apostolate and pastoral development. The SGA also speaks on behalf of the seminary student body before the wider Mount St. Mary's University community. The SGA's Executive Board consists of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, elected from each of the five seminary classes (Pre-theology I, II, III and IV).
Mount 2000+ Youth Retreat
Mount2000 is a Eucharistic retreat for high school students sponsored by Mount St. Mary's Seminary and University. The retreat was started by the Mount seminarians about 15-20 years ago in preparation for the Jubilee Year 2000. It was such a great success that the seminarians decided to continue it even after 2000.
Seminary News
The daily life of the seminary community is easily described in On Mary's Mountain, the seminary blog. Our seminarians are also writers for the Seminary Newsletter.
Seminarians for Life
The seminary community walks to the Supreme Court in the annual "Right to Life" march, each January with the Human Life International Pro-life Missionaries to the World.

Chapter Eleven Summary
Rishda Tarkaan leaps away from Tirian's sword. He is not a coward, but knew that he cannot fight against all of them single-handedly, especially since Eagles can fly into your face and peck at your eyes. He had also heard that no man could be a match for a Unicorn except with arrows or a long spear.
He rushes into the crowd and called for the warriors to fight. Tirian grabs the Ape by his scruff and throws him into the darkness of the stable. Suddenly, there is a greenish-blue light from inside the stable and the earth shook and the animals moaned and howled to be hidden from Tashlan. Farsight noticed the face of Rishda Tarkaan at the moment and the look of surprise and fright.
Every single Talking Dog (15 of them) came bounding and barking at the side of...

Introduced by George Beccaloni
Preface by Steve Jones
A milestone in the theory of evolution and one of the greatest books of 19th-century historic travel, this lavish two-volume edition brings together a wealth of illustrative material.
Published price: US$ 180.00
Shortlisted for the 2017 BBPD Awards
'The book is magnificent – very many congratulations to you and your team! It is undoubtedly the finest edition of MA ever produced and I really can't see how it could have been bettered… I am truly honoured to have been involved in its production!'
Alfred Russel Wallace was, with Charles Darwin, the co-discoverer of the theory of evolution through natural selection, and The Malay Archipelago is celebrated for the impulse it gave to the formulation and first publication of the theory in 1858. Wallace spent eight years in South East Asia, travelling from Singapore to the western edges of New Guinea, collecting beetles, birds and butterflies. The undertaking was phenomenal (14,000 miles of travel, 110,000 insects, 8,000 birds, 500 mammals and reptiles, 5,000 species new to science and the first living birds of paradise), and as Wallace battled through jungles, rivers and mountains, sickness, near-starvation and encounters with headhunters, he made discoveries about the workings of biology that have shaped our view of the world ever since. This edition brings together all the illustrative materials connected with Wallace and his Malay trip, including Wallace's own watercolours and many rarely seen pieces only previously published in 19th-century zoological journals.
'There is no more admirable character in the history of science'
The Malay Archipelago is not just a fascinating scientific account, it is also a thrilling story of great adventure and peril. Fever, near-starvation, encounters with headhunters – Wallace's extraordinary travels in search of elusive creatures and unusual habitats leave the reader in no doubt that he was, as David Attenborough puts it, 'a great scientist, a great man and a tough traveller beyond compare'.
Wallace's fieldwork and experiences in the Malay Archipelago led him to formulate a theory of evolution through natural selection, and during his travels he shared this with Charles Darwin, who was surprised to find his own thoughts so closely mirrored. While he was still exploring the islands, Wallace's writings would be published alongside Darwin's – much to his delight – in the 1858 paper presented to the Linnean Society in London, the first time the theory was presented to the public. The paper is included as an appendix.
This Folio edition brings together a wealth of pictorial material associated with Wallace and the Malay trip: Wallace's own watercolours and drawings from his notebooks and journals, beautiful natural history paintings of birds, insects, butterflies and plants (many only previously published in 19th-century zoological journals), original photographs, paintings and colour lithographs of local scenes. The text also includes over 60 integrated black and white engravings.
Wallace expert George Beccaloni has contributed an introduction that provides a detailed overview of the great scientist's unusual beginnings and his significance as a pioneer of evolutionary theory, while geneticist and science writer Steve Jones has written a preface celebrating Wallace's passion for biology.
'As I sat taking my coffee at six in the morning, rare birds would often be seen on some tree close by, when I would hastily sally out in my slippers, and perhaps secure a prize I had been seeking after for weeks … At night herds of wild pigs roamed about the house, devouring refuse'
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913) was, with Charles Darwin, the co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection. He was also the pre-eminent tropical biologist of his day, with many years of field experience in the Amazon Basin (with the naturalist Henry Bates) and the islands of South East Asia. The Malay Archipelago (1869), his account of an eight-year collecting expedition (1854–62) around Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and East Timor, is the most celebrated of all travel writings on this region, and ranks as one of the best scientific travel books of the 19th century. On this expedition, in addition to collecting more than 5,000 species new to science, Wallace formulated his ideas on the theory of natural selection, jointly publishing a paper with Charles Darwin on the subject in 1858, one of the most significant scientific papers in the history of biology. Darwin's On the Origin of Species was published fifteen months later. He is regarded today as the founder of evolutionary biogeography. Honours awarded for the many important contributions he made to biology, geography, geology and anthropology include: the Gold Medal (Société de Géographie); the Founder's Medal (Royal Geographical Society); the Darwin-Wallace and Linnean Gold Medals (Linnean Society); the Copley, Darwin and Royal Medals (Royal Society); and the Order of Merit (the greatest honour that can be given to a civilian by the ruling British monarch).
Steve Jones is Emeritus Professor of Genetics at University College London and the author of several popular science books, including The Language of the Genes (1993), which won the Rhône-Poulenc Science Book Prize, In the Blood (1996), Almost like a Whale: The Origin of Species Updated (1999), winner of the BP Natural World Book Prize, Y: The Descent of Men (2002) and, most recently, No Need for Geniuses: Revolutionary Science in the Age of the Guillotine (2016). In 1997 he was awarded the Royal Society Faraday Medal for his contribution to the public understanding of science in areas such as human evolution and variation, race, sex, inherited disease and genetic manipulation through his many broadcasts on radio and television, his lectures and publications.
Dr George Beccaloni is a zoologist, evolutionary biologist and historian of science, who worked at London's Natural History Museum (NHM) as an entomologist for more than twenty years. Beccaloni has studied Wallace's life and work for nearly two decades and is the founder and director of the Wallace Correspondence Project. In 1999 he set up the Wallace Memorial Fund, which restored Wallace's grave in Dorset and paid for several memorials to him, including a bronze statue now in the NHM. In 2002 he played a key role in helping the NHM acquire the world's largest and most important collection of Wallace's manuscripts and books from Wallace's grandsons. Beccaloni has published a number of articles about Wallace and co-edited the book Natural Selection and Beyond: The Intellectual Legacy of Alfred Russel Wallace. He was the historical consultant for Bill Bailey's Jungle Hero, an award-winning two-part BBC series about Wallace.
