In this interactive activity featuring videos adapted from the Rutgers PAER Group, observe the refraction of light as it passes through transparent objects. In the first example, when a convex lens is placed in the path of parallel beams of light, the beams converge after passing though the lens. In the second example, when a concave lens is placed in the path of parallel beams of light, the beams diverge after passing through the lens. In the third example, when a rectangular piece of glass is placed in the path of a beam of light, the light bends at the boundary both into and out of the glass.

For detailed instructions on our recommended process of blocking past workers, click here to get to the post below.
Hi all,
I'm using mechanical turk to run surveys, and I don't want turkers who have done previous versions of a survey to be able to do the survey again. The easiest way for us to implement this is by blocking workers who have done the previous versions of the survey from taking newer versions.
I'm concerned that blocking a worker hurts their reputation, so might piss off workers with whom we have no quality issues. Would I hurt a worker's reputation on mTurk by blocking them from a HIT?
The other option is to ask workers for their mTurk worker ids when they start the survey so workers can see if they've done the survey before. Is it easy for turkers to look up their worker id?
Thanks for your help!

Act 5 Summary
Orgon explains to Cléante the contents of the casket that he entrusted to Tartuffe. Argas, a friend of Orgon's, entrusted him with certain documents when he fled the country. It is vital that these documents remain secret, and Tartuffe convinced Orgon that his conscience would be clearer if Tartuffe took possession of them. Cléante understands that Tartuffe has much power over Orgon now, both monetarily and with the possession of this guarded secret. Cléante asks Orgon how he could provoke Tartuffe, knowing how much is at stake and suggests that Orgon should not have angered Tartuffe with so much that could be used against him.
Orgon fails to see the wisdom of Cléante's advice and continues to show his anger. Orgon immediately decides that he will no longer trust pious or godly men. Cléante points out that Orgon...

By Franita Tolson May 16, 2018, 2:05 PM EDTLaw360 (May 16, 2018, 2:05 PM EDT) -- On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board Education, the landmark case that struck down segregation in primary and secondary education. Instead of being universally celebrated, Brown was immediately reviled by Southern politicians, who swiftly and viciously attacked the decision. Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi, for example, pledged that "the South will not abide by nor obey this legislative decision by a political body." Similarly, Georgia Gov. Herman Talmadge vowed to use his authority "to map a program to insure continued and...

The Relationship Stay-or-Go Coach
Bio/My current passions:
I work with women who are struggling in their primary relationship, wondering whether to stay or to bring it to an end. I help them find their clear, whole-body answer and create a vibrant new way of living… with, or without, the partner.
I spent a long time in the limbo of indecision myself. When I emerged, I discovered how much I couldn't see from the middle of it. It wasn't my marriage that held me back as much as my own limited view of what was possible.
Now, guiding other courageous women across the bridge to clarity delights me. I work with people who know they are ready for change, even if they can't imagine how that might work. With my help, they remodel their relationship for greater fulfillment or they make their exit in a conscious way.
I am trained and certified by The Coaches Training Institute (CTI), The Center for Right Relationship (CRR), and the Hendricks Institute. My work with Gay and Katie Hendricks in their Leadership and Transformation (LAT) Program has blown my coaching wide open with fun, laughter, and whole-body discovery. I love to speak and run workshops too.
I invite you to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
to schedule a complimentary Stay-or-Go Aha! Consultation on the phone. It will help you to:
Identify the ways that you are hooked on repeating patterns
Get clear on how you want your life to feel
Discover the #1 thing that keeps you stuck
Identify your empowered action path
When you complete the session, you will know your exact next step.
Life is now!
I am passionate about children growing up in safety, support, and love. I am passionate about all of us finding our way home to joy in being alive. I also love wilderness. It all fits together; whether it's nature or human life, I want to see us flourish in our natural beauty. I focus my coaching on women facing the stay-or-go question in their relationships. When women break through that painful dilemma, they are uncovering their essence and healing themselves, their families, and their social groups.
What vision do you have for your life and your coaching practice?
My vision: I am nourished by delightful outdoor adventures and I am playfully connected with my family and my amazing network of friends. In my relationship coaching practice, I catalyze profound transformation every day. I have oodles of fun with my clients and brilliant leader buddies as we learn and grow beyond the brightest visions we hold. The perfect clients find me easily for coaching, workshops, and presentations. I have acclaimed relationship books and my income supports me and my peace-inducing projects. I am filled with love and vibrant energy as I age with grace. When I feel afraid, I take fear by the hand and keep going. And, my wildly delicious life partner and I co-create delight, discovery, and mutual support in ever-changing ways. That's the vision! I celebrate living much of it now and enjoy the way the rest of it tugs me forward.
What are the top three things you love about coaching?
I love
The intimacy of coaching interactions. People share their raw, real selves with me.
Clients' "OMG, I never saw that before!!" moments-of-insight.
To watch transformation over time from confusion and stuckness to peace and opening to love.
Before I started coaching I …
was a Middle School Science Teacher. I loved creating hands-on investigative projects for my students. I had two science books published and was a leader in my school's teacher mentoring program. When I began coaching, my underlying interest in people and their interactions had moved into top priority.
I am ever amazed at how I can … be instrumental in a client's transformation without knowing much about the person's life. Intuition, shared experience, and a few key words can bring us into synch.
Before I started coaching I … needed to have answers, to know where I was headed and how I was going to get there. Within the big-picture goals, I respond to what's alive in the moment for my client, reflect, hold space, offer my intuitive hits, and follow urges that arise in the moment.
What makes you laugh?
Small moments of shared surprise, whole-hearted silliness, the absurdities of being human, and animals talking with a British accent on YouTube.
The legacy I want to leave behind is:
Hope, relief, laughter, and many, many, many people in THRIVING relationships… because they learned to love and honor their whole selves.
Who are your top three people you would want to coach and why?
Barack Obama in one because he would be so much fun and the results would ripple out so widely. Mission-driven leaders of families, communities, and organizations are my favorites to coach for that reason. Their state of being, burdened vs empowered, open vs closed, creative vs boxed-in affect the quality of life for so many. I like to coach women who, like me at one time, are frozen in uncertainty about staying in their primary relationship or ending it. When a person is really ready to make a change from that state, the opportunity for transformation is remarkable. The people that find me tend to be the perfect clients for me.
What were the greatest benefits you received from studying at the Hendricks Institute?
I continue to study with Gay and Katie, now in year two of their Leadership and Transformation program. The top change in me is my presence. I am so much more able to stay connected to myself while connecting authentically with others. This would not have occurred at this rate in any other program I can think of. I was a big self-critic. I got my sense of self-worth from hero-ing others and accomplishing stuff. I have set the hero down and, to my amazement and glee, I am interupting the reflex of self-criticism. All the lessons I've learned make learning the next thing easier, so the pace of my growth has accelerated. I am thrilled!
Being part of the fun and expansive Hendricks Leadership and Transformation (LAT) community is priceless in itself.
The movie that inspired me most was_______.Why? The Book?
The movie that inspired me recently was Searching for Sugar Man. Why? It's an amazing, true story of a gentle and creative soul. And there's a tremendous message underneath the story: The response you get or don't get from people around you is NOT what you want to base your sense of worth upon. I loved it!
As a kid, I was most inspired by the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. They affirmed hard work, perseverance and conservation. Those lessons served me well until I discovered the "hard work" thing needed updating. I accomplish more when I pay attention to alignment, ease, and body wisdom. Gay and Katie have been my inspiration there in person and through their books like The Conscious Heart. Between childhood and recent years, The Artist's Way inspired me to own my creativity.
What brings you the most joy in your day to day life?
Spontaneous laughter. It's those moments with friends, family and clients when we just read one another's minds and crack up together over something absurd. I have a one-year-old grandson. We make eye contact in a mischievous way and one of us goes running and the other one gives chase. A moment later the chaser becomes the chasee and we both squeal with excited laughter. It's a riot.
Also I find joy in discovery. When I write an article or have a juicy conversation and my thoughts come together in a new way, I am delighted.
What ten things could you not do without?
Running Water
Trails for hiking, biking, and skiing
Talk radio

Airbus bets that a re-engined A320 will carry it through the next decade as Boeing studies its next move.
In 2030, the A320 airframe will be just aboutas old as the original 737 airframe is today. Perhaps that helps to explain Airbus's willingness to proceed with a simple re-engining program that leaves it vulnerable to an all-new Boeing design that could be available 4-5 years after the A320neo's planned service entry in 2016. It will be the ultimate sporty game of nerves and resources. The stakes are high, with Boeing estimating that the single-aisle market over the next 20 ...

spring loves cotton candy paired with grey-browns.
as promised here are the spring makeup recommendations:
pair a pink lip with a dark, not smokey, eye with soft pink cheeks!
i love the anna sui rouge G 300 glossy lipstick, seen above. this is a fairly sheer, very pretty pink that looks good on most lighter skin tones with all hair and eye colors. plus, the tube is just gorgeous.
pretty pink lips look great with dark rimmed eyes. charcoals and rich browns create more depth than just black around the eyes. try mac's moth brown from the new barbie loves mac collection. don't forget to keep your brows full and neat for this look!

Furcifer balteatus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Furcifer balteatus (Duméril & Bibron, 1851)
Common Name(s):
Chamaeleo balteatus Duméril & Bibron, 1851
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Jenkins, R.K.B., Andreone, F., Andriamazava, A., Anjeriniaina, M., Brady, L., Glaw, F., Griffiths, R.A., Rabibisoa, N., Rakotomalala, D., Randrianantoandro, J.C., Randrianiriana, J., Randrianizahana , H., Ratsoavina, F., Raxworthy, C.J. & Robsomanitrandrasana, E.
|Bowles, P. & Tolley, K.
Listed as Endangered on the basis that this species has an estimated extent of occurrence of 1,971 km², it is presumed to occur as a severely fragmented population, and there is a continuing decline in the extent and quality of lowland forest habitat throughout its known range. This assessment is qualified on the basis that this chameleon's range is still poorly-understood and a number of new records are very recent, and more research is needed to clarify its habitat preferences. If future research reveals this species to be either more widespread or less sensitive to forest disturbance than is presently recognized, it will need to be reassessed in a less threatened category.
|Range Description:
This species is endemic to southeast Madagascar. It occurs in the central south-east at around 1,050 m above sea level (Raselimanana and Rakotomalala 2003, Glaw and Vences 2007). There are also records from the far southeast at Manongotry at 800 m (J.-B. Ramanamanjato pers. comm. January 2011) and Tsitongambarika (C. Randrianantoandro and A. Andriamazava pers. comms. January 2011). Most other records are from sites below 800 m asl. (C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011). Based on the combined area of known sites, the lizard's extent of occurrence is taken to be 1,971 km²; however, it is unknown whether it occurs continuously between these areas, whether it occurs as subpopulations elsewhere in eastern Madagascar, or indeed whether it is restricted to a smaller area within the known locations.

This is a rare species (C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011). All records are of single individuals. Due to ongoing human pressures on remaining lowland forest in southern Madagascar, the population of this chameleon is presumed to be declining, although this is difficult to establish with certainty due to limited knowledge of the lizard's habitat requirements. The patchy distribution of remnant forest, and the failure of surveys in degraded areas of this species' range to record the chameleon, indicate that it occurs as a severely fragmented population.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
This chameleon is found in and near low- and mid-altitude humid forest. The degree to which this species can adapt to degraded habitat is not well understood. Records from the southeast are from intact forest, while at Ranomofana, most records are from degraded areas near forest and forest edges (Glaw and Vences 2007; C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011; R. Jenkins pers. comm. May 2011). Surveys of degraded habitats throughout a broad area of the southeast have failed to record this species, and consequently it is thought that it is unlikely to be widespread in degraded areas (C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011). Its typical association with primary forest, even in Ranomafana where most records are from outside the forest itself, suggests some degree of reliance on intact native vegetation (C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011).
|Use and Trade:
|This species used to be traded internationally and 1,260 individuals were exported from Madagascar between 1988 and 1994 prior to the suspension imposed by CITES. There is still high commercial demand for this chameleon and illegal trade remains a possibility, but the occurrence and extent of this activity is unclear.
|Major Threat(s):
Ongoing activities within this lizard's range that affect the quality and extent of remaining forest include land conversion for agriculture and timber extraction, and it is thought that these are likely to threaten this species. The chameleon is highly desirable in the international pet trade, and although an export ban has been in place since 1994 and the species is CITES-listed, collection outside reserves is permitted and illegal export represents a potential threat (C. Raxworthy pers. comm. May 2011).
|Conservation Actions:
This species has been found inside Parc National de Ranomafana (Raselimanana and Rakotomalala 2003) and Parc National d'Andohahela (CBSG 2002). This species is listed as a protected species under Category I, Class II, which permits authorized collection from the wild. Specific conservation measures are difficult to form in the absence of relevant information on its distribution and ecology.

Our music mentors and their students build a lasting relationship of support which helps our students succeed academically, emotionally and socially. KING equips youth in care with concrete tools to show the world and, more importantly, youth themselves what they can accomplish with passion and dedication.
High School Graduation rate
All eligible High School seniors for the past 3 years have successfully graduated. This is an amazing accomplishment especially when compared to the National Average for youth in care of 47% High School Graduation Rate.
Mentorship Hours per student
Our students receive an average of 25 hours of free, private music lessons and Mentorship per year in the instrument of their choosing.
13-17 years old
42% of our students are between the ages of 13 to 17, with the next highest population being 9-12 at 30%, 5-8 with 22% and 18+ with 6%.

yes, not at all like barack or biden, eh?
so, you suppose those two simply 'winged it'?
how is careful preparation suddenly a sign of insincerity?
the campaigns are a very big deal and communication is no accident, it must be skillfully crafted, whether genuine or not.
the gop's communications were superb and the dem's speeches really can't compare, they're all available for anyone to freely review, look 'em up.

I'm not so sure on that one. It's my understanding that the special needs funding was previously grouped with other funding, and under Palin she divided the sum into separate lines on the budget; so while it appears that the former budget line was slashed by 62%, there was a new category added where the funding was still allocated.
Basically it went from...
Line X: approx. 8k
Line X: approx 3k
Line Y: approx 5k

"Bass-baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann was a commanding presence as Golaud."
Daniel Hataway, Classical Voice America, 4 May 2017
"… Hanno Muller-Brachmann's performance as her scorned husband Golaud was especially glorious. Peter Rose, as King Arkel, has a voice we could listen to for days."
Laura Morrison, Cleveland Scene, 5 May 2017
"Bass-baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann was brilliant as the conflicted Golaud, Mélisande's husband and Pelléas's half-brother. Golaud's rage and jealousy were often barely contained, but Müller-Brachmann never resorted to shouting. "
Timothy Robson, Bachtrack, 3 May 2017
"…Golaud — the magnificent Hanno Müller-Brachmann …"

"Hanno Müller-Brachmann's Figaro is lusty and robust…"
Kate Molleson, The Guardian, 14 August 2015
"The alpha males Figaro (Hanno Müller-Brachmann)…From his initial declaration of war 'Se vuol ballare', the warmth in Müller-Brachmann's voice indicates his vengeance is good-natured, rather than vindictive."

21 Aug 14 BRITTEN War Requiem BBC Proms; Nelsons; CBSO
"Lending a sharp emotional edge to the solemnity were the three soloists, who were ideally matched. Susan Gritton was delicately tender in the Lacrimosa (am I the only person who hears a touch of Gershwin in this piece?). Tenor Toby Spence and bass Hanno Müller-Brachmann were unaffectedly hearty during the poem about sharing a meal with Death, and in the final dialogue of the two dead soldiers they held us spellbound. The silence after the final chord felt as if it would never end."
Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph, 22 August 2014
"Hanno Müller-Brachmann…the quiet intensity of "Nor my titanic tears"."
Barry Millington, Evening Standard, 22 August 2014
"Owen's poetry had committed advocates in soloists Toby Spence and Hanno Müller-Branchmann..Müller-Branchmann spelled out the pity of it all in his fine, rich baritone: "I am the enemy you killed, my friend."
Stephen Pritchard, The Guardian, 24 August 2014
"The three soloists strongly conveyed the essence of Britten's juxtaposition of universal Christian consolation and individual tragedy and experience… Baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann's first entry was similarly affecting, the hushed sorrow of 'Bugles sang, saddening the evening air' delivering a persuasive rebuke to the flashing trumpets which had rung so glitteringly in the preceding 'Dies Irae'. Müller-Brachmann sang with admirable control and assurance throughout, his noble declamation and rich, smooth tone elegant and unfussy. Though tackling a foreign tongue, he communicated with real directness and the openness of the baritone's phrasing conveyed conviction and assurance.
Both Spence and Müller-Brachmann proved versatile in their responses to the text, especially in their duets. Conjoining in the 'Dies Irae', 'Out there, we've walked quite friendly up to Death', they presented a stubborn and bitter obstacle to the subsequent animated assertion of the choral tenors and basses: 'Confutatis maledictis, Flammis accribus addictis, Voca me cum bendictis' (When the damned have been confounded an to bitter flames consigned, summon me among the blessed."

"The bass-baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann is an ideal Figaro: a youthful, appealing actor, a singer with a firm, dark and exciting voice. Sitting in an easy chair during that opening scene, measuring the space for the couple's new bed simply by extending his hands and imagining the dimensions, Mr. Müller-Brachmann's Figaro exudes easygoing charm and self-absorption, until Susanna makes clear that the count, no fooling, intends to have his way with her."

"Triumph too in the Mahler songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, chiefly because of Hanno Müller-Brachmann. The German's bass-baritone voice, strikingly black and penetrating…such were his powers of characterisation and projection that he conveyed every emotional tremor. We laughed, we cried, we felt bitter irony. Running alongside, Jurowski and the LPO supplied plenty of instrumental finesse."
Geoff Brown, The Times, 31 May 2011
"But Hanno Müller-Brachmann, a late stand-in as soloist, matched the players for vivid expression all the way. Müller-Brachmann is a rising star in Germany, and with good reason; his sonorous, flexible bass-baritone communicated every single word."

There's a memorable scene in the Stephen Spielberg film 'Munich'. After the 1972 Munich Olympic Games killings of Israeli athletes, prime minister Golda Meir tells confidants she wants to show the plotters that killing Jews "is expensive". She then organises for the assassination of each of the plotters.
Today, it is Israel itself that has become expensive. Most directly, it is very expensive to the US, which subsidises and arms it.
But Israel's utter inability to transform the Palestinians from enemies into friends has imposed big costs on us all. We have paid for Israel's failure with bombs on London public transport, bombs in bars in Bali, and even the loss of the World Trade Centre towers in New York.
It is not true that these outrages have occurred because certain Islamic fundamentalists don't like Western lifestyles and so plant bombs in response. Rather, it is Israel — or more correctly the treatment of the Palestinians — that is at the nub of these events.
The world's Muslims have no head: no overarching caliph or pope equivalent exists — no single power source with whom to negotiate. Instead, Islam is remarkably decentralised. So, how extraordinary that Israel and the West have managed to unite this headless, diverse, dispersed grouping without any institutional framework, around just one issue — anger at the treatment of the Palestinians.
Otherwise dispersed groups of Muslims do seem to feel for one another in a way that Christians and others do not.
In this respect, the international Islamic community is like a body: kick it in the leg and the rest of the body feels it. Kick it hard enough and the entire body will be energised to defend itself. Pictures of distraught Gazan mothers beside the mutilated bodies of their children are circulating right now among Muslim communities worldwide. It is pictures like these that make them want to do something.
Consider Malaysia. Every citizen of this outpost of Islam has printed in his or her passport that the passport is not valid for Israel. And given that Malaysians are not allowed to hold dual citizenship, this essentially means that every Malaysian citizen, including the 40% who are not Muslims, are banned from visiting Israel.
"When will Malaysia recognise Israel?" I once asked the then finance minister. "Once Israel treats the Palestinians better," was his reply. How would he determine that? "When the Palestinians tell us," he said. It is not Israel's right to exist that is at issue.
The enmity many Muslims now feel for Israel has nothing to do with religion. The historical persecutors of the Jews have been Christians — their punishment for the death of Jesus. Jews and Muslims have lived in peace for hundreds of years in many parts of the Islamic world. When Catholic Spain and Portugal expelled its Jews, the Ottoman sultan in Istanbul invited them in. It is the Palestinian issue that has ruined all this.
Of course, today Israel must defend itself. If the residents of Bendigo started firing rockets into Melbourne you would expect Melbourne to retaliate. But what must Melbourne have done to Bendigo to make them do such a thing? Constantly slapping an opponent in the face, kicking it down to its knees, and watching it struggle in the dirt will not teach the opponent to love or respect you. It teaches only hatred.
Persecuting people does not weaken them. Israel should know that. The Jews have been persecuted for centuries. It didn't destroy them but gave them the impetus to survive.
One characteristic that is common among persecuted groups is a strong investment in education — when people's physical wealth is in danger of destruction from war and persecution one store of wealth that stays with individuals even when they must flee as refugees is education. It explains why such groups often insist on their own schools — education is too important to be entrusted to others.
Hamas did not enjoy the support of all the people of Gaza. It does now. Why does Israel keep getting it wrong?
Trekking in Nepal is fashionable among young Israelis. So much so that many shops in Kathmandu and Pokhara have signs in Hebrew. But once you get on the trekking circuit and speak with local Nepalese guides and guesthouse operators you soon discover how disliked the Israelis are. Many guesthouses in this poor country will even tell Israeli trekking groups that they are full rather than accept them. This has nothing to do with religion or politics: Nepalese people are some of the warmest, most hospitable in the world. Rather, they say that the young Israelis are rude, arrogant, and argue over trifling amounts of money even though they clearly have means.
Israel needs to change. The Parsees of India might provide a model. The Parsees are a very tiny, very rich ethnic and religious minority. They own perhaps most of the land in central Mumbai as well as the country's largest conglomerate. And yet ordinary Indians admire and respect them. Violence against them is unthinkable.
How have they achieved this? They are not flashy or arrogant. Their overriding characteristic is a deep interest in the welfare of others. They have established hospitals, libraries, schools, museums and many other institutions and, most importantly, not for the Parsee community exclusively but for everyone. So the Parsees have peace and the Israelis do not.
Melbourne Age editor apologises for "error of judgement"
Ashley Browne – Australian Jewish News January 20, 2009
THE editorial team at The Age has offered an unreserved apology to the Jewish community for the controversial Michael Backman column that appeared in last Saturday's newspaper.
A formal apology appeared on page two of Tuesday's edition (January 20) of the newspaper, with The Age editor Paul Ramadge telling The AJN that the anti-Semitic views expressed by Backman "have no place at The Age. We completely reject his views".
"We fully accept that the article has caused hurt and distress to the Jewish community and we apologise without reservation," he said.
Ramadge said the story was published while he and other senior editors were on leave.
"We have a different crew editing the paper during the holiday period," he said.
Ramadge would not comment on whether any Age employees would lose their jobs over the publication of the story, but did admit that more than one Age staffer were guilty of "errors of judgement".
"We have taken steps to ensure that this sort of thing doesn't happen again," he said, adding that the staffer was being dealt with internally.
Ramadge, who replaced Andrew Jaspan as editor of The Age last year, met with community leaders Mark Leibler and Dr Colin Rubenstein on Monday and will meet Israeli Ambassador Yuval Rotem on Thursday to try and repair the damage caused by the article.
Backman's article appeared less than two weeks after Jewish Community Council of Victoria representatives John Searle and Geoffrey Zygier met newspaper management to express concerns over the paper's coverage of the war in Gaza.
Ramadge told The AJN he did not believe The Age has a credibility issue with the Jewish community.
"We're starting to get feedback from Jewish leaders praising us for our balanced coverage," he said.
"Not everyone will agree with everything we publish on Israel. That comes with the territory.
"But we want to continue to tell great stories and The Age will continue to have a dialogue with Jewish leadership in that respect."
Ramadge said he believes The Age is being proactive in dealing with disgruntled Jewish readers on this issue.
He also plans to personally respond to every letter of complaint he has received since Backman's article appeared on Saturday January 17.

Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, five spice powder, dry mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck so it has a 1/4-inch diamond pattern. Rub the spice mixture all over the duck.
Heat a grill to medium (make sure it's not too hot since the key is to cook duck slowly to render the fat) and wipe down the grates with an oiled towel. Place the duck skin-side down on the grate and cook until the skin is seared and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. (If there are occasional flare-ups from the fat, move the duck around on the grill to a new spot away from the flame each time.) Flip the duck over and place on a cooler part of the grill. Cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes before cutting against the grain into thick slices.

Steven Balbirnie talks to Sam Abbott of Compulsion Games about Contrast, a puzzle platformer of light and shadows
Contrast, a puzzle platformer currently in development, will follow the plight of two protagonists, Didi and Dawn, as they unravel the mysteries surrounding Didi's family. When asked about the characters, Sam Abbott of Compulsion Games, the team behind Contrast, says: "Didi is a young girl, part of a family that's in a bit of trouble. She needs to find out what's going on and Dawn, the playable character, is a young woman who is there to help out. But, Dawn's a bit of an enigma. Didi is the only one who can see her. Dawn has some special powers that she can use to help Didi, but Didi also helps Dawn along the way." While Compulsion don't want to give too much away about the game's plot at this stage, Abbott has stated that: "With Contrast, we're aiming to have a more interesting storyline than the standard 'Let's go and kill the bad guy' narrative
Contrast's style has been described as a surrealistic 1920s vaudevillian dreamscape. Abbott explains why the team decided on such a distinctive visual aesthetic: "We wanted a setting that was familiar and yet relatively unused in games so far. We have had a range of influences: film noir, vaudeville, burlesque and art deco architectural style pull together to create the environments you can see in our trailer. We also love the character design in Tim Burton's films/Tim Schaefer's games (for example, Grim Fandango), and the ideas of surrealism and dreams."
The distinctive visuals are matched by equally distinctive game play mechanics. Dawn has the unique ability to shift between the worlds of light and dark; an intriguing dynamic that draws on an unexpected source of inspiration, Valve's hit puzzle platformer, Portal. "Portal was inspirational to a lot of people because it encouraged people to go back and try out alternative methods of gaming. Essentially, it reinvigorated the puzzle platformer for the modern gamer. For us, we began to think about alternative gameplay mechanics that changed how you perceive puzzles; shadow manipulation came to mind, so we started to think about what we could do with that," says Abbott.
What makes Dawn's ability even more striking is that shifting from the world of light to the shadows also switches the style of gameplay from 3D to 2D. Abbott explains the challenges that this dynamic has posed for the development team. "Implementing the mechanic meant modifying our game engine [Unreal 3] to allow for this mechanic. It took a fair amount of work, as Unreal is a bit of a stubborn thing to deal with, but, the level design was definitely a big challenge. We're creating puzzles in a way no one else is, which leads to more than the occasional issue. You might put in some nice new decoration in the level, or modify the size of a 3D jump, but some unintentional shadowing might completely break another part of the level. It's a lot of trial and error, but we're now pretty on top of things. Josh and Trevor, our level designers, have created some really fantastic areas that we can't wait for you guys to experience."
The challenges are clearly outweighed by the rewards however, as this mechanic has offered Compulsion Games a wide creative scope in terms of the puzzles that they can design for Contrast. "I think one of the best things we've been able to make is puzzles that genuinely look cool," says Abbott. As an example he points out "one of the neat features is that you can move objects to change where their shadows hit on the wall. Even better, you can move light sources to completely change the shadows of an entire area. Or do a combination of both, or neither and just see what you can do on your own." This will offer players many options in terms of how they choose to tackle a given situation. "There's a whole bunch of permutations that give you opportunities, and us headaches, as there are multiple ways to solve puzzles."
The game has already been getting a positive reception, notably appealing to both genders in focus test sessions. Abbott attributes this fact to the game's portrayal of its female lead characters. "We think women gamers are becoming a more and more important part of the industry. Guys have always been interested in games, but it's only been relatively recently that women have begun to really get into the industry. Social games, for example, are dominated by women. We think that part of the reason why women have been slower to adopt more traditional gaming is that women have not been portrayed all that well by games – they're usually big breasted, shallow characters, that only exist to be saved/romanced by the male protagonist, although there are exceptions. We don't have that. Our characters are strong and smart, and don't fit the traditional mould. We think that this is particularly appealing to women gamers and hopefully guys find it refreshing too."
Gamers of all demographics will however, have to be patient. "We haven't set a release date yet, but I'd keep an eye out for Contrast at the beginning of 2013," says Abbott. We may have to wait for more details about Contrast but it's already shaping up to be one to watch for 2013.

About CMECS:
CMECS Provides a Common Language
CMECS offers a simple standard framework and common terminology for describing natural and human influenced ecosystems, from the upper tidal reaches of estuaries to the deepest portions of the ocean. The framework is organized into two settings, biogeographic and aquatic, and four components, water column, geoform, substrate, and biotic. Each describes a separate aspect of the environment and biota. Settings and components can be used in combination or independently to describe ecosystem features. The hierarchical arrangement of units of the settings and components allows users to apply CMECS to the scale and specificity that best suits their needs. Modifiers allow users to customize the classification to meet specific needs.
CMECS Meets a Broad Set of Needs
CMECS is designed to meet the needs of many users, including coastal resource managers and planners, development interests, engineers, mappers, and researchers from government, industry, and academia. The system was also developed to address applications on scales ranging from local and regional to national and beyond.
CMECS Reflects Wide Stakeholder Input
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NatureServe, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Geological Survey worked with over a hundred scientists and coastal managers to develop and implement the standard. CMECS has been implemented in projects in a variety of geographies. A rigorous four month public and peer review process led to consideration of and response to more than 800 individual comments from 31 individuals and organizations.
CMECS Is a Dynamic Content Standard
The use and application of CMECS will improve our knowledge of marine ecosystems and may bring to light other necessary additions and adjustments to the standard. Users are encouraged to provide suggestions about possible changes to CMECS, which will follow a regular peer review and revision cycle. Protocols and tools for this process are currently in development.
Practical Applications
Practical applications for CMECS include:
- Ecosystem inventory and mapping
- Coastal and marine spatial planning
- Marine Protected Area selection, evaluation, and assessment
- Resource management and monitoring
- Conservation status assessment
- Habitat modelling
For more information

About this work
Morisot concentrated much of her attention on domestic or family scenes, frequently depicting the childhood of her daughter, Julie. In this tender portrayal of mother and daughter, Morisot focuses on the proximity of their heads, using drypoint (scratching directly into the plate) to highlight their hair and eyes and to draw attention to their gazes, hers towards the viewer, Julie's on her mother's drawing. Morisot's airy treatment marks her as a major exponent of Impressionist printmaking.

Working with families and youth is at the core of good family-centered practice. To conduct assessment, case planning, and case management successfully, caseworkers must be skilled in communicating with children, youth, and families to help them strengthen interpersonal, parenting, and problem-solving skills.
Elements of effective work with families include engaging families and youth; providing direct assistance with challenges the family is facing, including counseling, parent coaching, and modeling; and continuing to assess—with the family—their strengths, needs, and progress.

New zinc target at Billy HIlls
- New target zone identified which includes significant historic drill intersections and gossan along strike from drill intercepts of more than 10% zinc + lead at the Pillara West Prospect
- Data compilation and target generation continuing ahead of field work commencing next year
The target zone includes significant historic drill intersections and a 1.2-kilometre-long gossan (Snake Bore Prospect), directly along strike from previous drill intercepts of more than 10% zinc + lead over multiple metres at the Pillara West Prospect, adjacent to Mithril's tenement holding (see Figures 2 and 3 in link below).
The zone also coincides with a poorly drill tested linear gravity feature that defines the western edge of the rock sequence that hosts the Pillara deposit (pre-mine resource of 18.05Mt @ 7.7% zinc and 2.4% lead - see ASX Announcement dated 21 August 2017) and can be seen in geophysical data for over 12 kilometres within Mithril's tenements.
Management Comment
Mithril's Managing Director Mr David Hutton said: "With multiple drill intercepts that require follow-up directly along strike from the recent Pillara West discovery, the new target zone reinforces the prospectivity of Billy Hills Project".
"Mithril looks forward to getting on the ground mid next year when we anticipate that the tenements will be granted".
"In the meantime, our immediate task is to complete the data compilation and target generation work in order to identify further areas for follow-up which is likely to comprise electrical geophysics and drilling".
Pillara West
The Pillara West prospect is located on the Pillara Mine Lease (M04/118) 300 - 500 metres west of existing underground workings at Pillara and 300 metres from Mithril's tenement boundary.
The prospect was discovered in 2006 by Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd, the owners of the mine who conducted multiple drilling programs at Pillara West right up to the mine's closure in 2008.
Mineralisation at Pillara West occurs within a 500-metre long shallow-dipping zone of mineralised (zinc-leadmarcasite- calcite) rubble limestone breccias and veining, drilling of which has returned multiple intercepts including;
- 15.8m @ 6.80% zinc, 3.05% lead, 30g/t silver from 399.8 metres in PD785 including 3.3m @ 11.10% zinc, 5.30% lead, 66g/t silver,
- 19.1m @ 7.60% zinc, 2.10% lead, 17g/t silver from 385.4 metres in PDD796 including 11.9m @ 10.40% zinc, 3.20% lead, 25g/t silver, and
- 11.0m @ 8.20% zinc, 8.80% lead, 26g/t silver from 347.0 metres in PD802 including 4.0m @ 11.80% zinc, 17.20% lead, 45g/t silver.
Step-out diamond drilling west of the initial discovery intersected further broad zones of mineralisation on ground now covered by Mithril's tenement holdings including;
- 14.90m @ 0.90% zinc, 0.14% lead, 2g/t silver from 315.20 metres in PD817 including 0.6m @ 9.20% zinc, 1.75% lead, 4g/t silver,
- 16.00m @ 2.12% zinc, 0.03% lead, 3g/t silver from 341.10 metres in PD817 including 1.2m @ 8.79% zinc, 0.07% lead, 4g/t silver,
- 32.20m @ 1.89% zinc, 0.33% lead, 3g/t silver from 524.00 metres in PD817 including 7.30m @ 3.33% zinc, 0.55% lead, 3g/t silver,
- 23.80m @ 0.79% zinc, 0.02% lead, 2g/t silver from 500.70 metres in PD830 including 5.8m @ 1.30% zinc, 0.13% lead, 3g/t silver, and
- 20.50m @ 1.07% zinc, 0.03% lead, 1g/t silver from 325.70 metres in PD831 including 3.0m @ 3.12% zinc, 0.09% lead, 1g/t silver.
Pillara West remains open in all directions and lies within the gravity feature which extends to the Snake Bore prospect 5 kilometres to the southwest.
Snake Bore
Discovered by Amax Exploration (Australia) in 1972, the Snake Bore prospect comprises a 1.2-kilometre-long gossanous zone, drilling of which has returned broad zones of anomalous zinc mineralisation; 24m @ 0.33% zinc, 0.06% lead from 12 metres in SP3, 29m @ 0.45% zinc, 0.19% lead from 11 metres in SP4, and 9m @ 0.47% zinc, 0.07% lead from 6 metres in SP4a.
When the historic drill results are interpreted in the context of the more recent Pillara West discovery (where mineralisation extends for hundreds of metres down dip from near surface intercepts), Snake Bore is a high priority for follow-up as the prospect does not appear to have been drilled at depth.
Next Steps
Data compilation and target generation work for the project is continuing ahead of commencing field work mid next year once the tenements are granted.
Mithril looks forward to updating the market as further results come to hand.
