Since the 1960s, people have been using dental implants Vancouver for teeth replacement. Currently, their use has increased globally due to their extensive benefits. The implants are used to support crowns when replacing a single missing tooth. Dental bridges are used when replacing several teeth that are missing. Titanium is used to manufacture dental implants because it is compatible with the body tissues. Another advantage of using titanium is because it can form a stable bond with the adjacent bones during the healing process. Clinical studies have established that the dental implants are convenient and safe, and they produce teeth that resemble the original ones.

Will the federal drug enforcement in America have top officials fired because of their recent ill-advised decision about marijuana? Medical marijuana in America will continue to be a struggle for some due to a recent decision by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Despite the approval of many top officials in the American government including former Attorney General Eric Holder (2009 to 2015), reclassifying marijuana into a category that does not include heroin or methamphetamine was not accomplished. Now, America must grapple with the fact that they are caught in a medical cannabis "Catch-22."

These are teeth replacements that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. The implants are suitable for replacing one or two missing teeth, although, two or more implants can as well serve as a foot for holding several replacement teeth.

As soon as I spoke to Allie on the phone.... I knew she was my people. She happened across my website, poked around, and decided to call me to set up some relaxed newborn photos with her second daughter. We chatted for a bit and got everything set up and when the day came, I was welcomed into their home with big open arms.
You know what I mean when you meet someone new and it feels like you've known them forever... that's exactly how this session went down. I had such a wonderful time playing with their oldest daughter, chatting with mom and dad, and getting to meet sweet baby V. We all became fast friends, and it's been wonderful keeping in touch and watching them grow as a family of 4!
ROCK ON LITTLE ONE! We are meant to be friends! Miss J was so proud to show off her baby sister to me. After a while, J had to take Daddy downstairs. Daddy needed to get his guitar. Something we do in our family as well. It's so wonderful to see another family share their love of music, and it's always a favorite thing of mine to capture!
Sweet V, you are part of an amazing family that is filled with so much love. Thank you Allie, for finding me. I am so looking forward to watching your girls grow, and to the many more play dates and splash pad adventures I see in our future!
Cheers friends, thanks for stopping by today!
**if you're looking for a relaxed newborn session in the comfort of your own home, feel free to get in touch! I'd love to connect with you and show you that your photographs can preserve so much more than just what you look like!

Here are the promised pictures. They are from "day 2" at the hospital, and by that time Jack was happy and spunky and ready to get out of his little PICU room. Pictures from "day 1" would certainly have not been so cute and perky. The CAT scan picture was from his second scan at 4:00 on Tuesday morning, and he was a little loopy while under the influence of some drug I wish I could have snagged.
Even though these pictures are fairly happy ones, I have a hard time looking at them. The main word I think of when I think about Monday is "horror." Tonight as I was rocking him, kissing the top of his blond little head, and thanking God over and over for the gift of him, I just kept trying to shake the image out of my mind that moment when I thought I had lost him forever. I also thought back to that moment when I was carrying him down the hall to his first CAT scan and he was stroking my hair and I thought to myself, "Even if he has brain damage, at least he is still loving and affectionate. If my baby can still lovingly stroke my hair like this, I can be OK." Then, later, when he smiled at me, I thought again, "Even if he's not the same little boy he was this morning, at least he can smile at me. I love that smile. If I can see that smile, I'll be OK." Now I just look at my perfect little boy in absolute wonder. I love him. I know you all know that already, and I certainly knew it as well, but you've got to understand, I thought I had lost him, and I didn't. He's alive. He's babbling and laughing and trying at every possible opportunity to engage in the very dangerous activities he has been strictly ordered not to participate in. I have suddenly become a Helicopter Mama, but that's OK. I'm just so happy to be his mama.
Enjoy the pictures, and feel free to stop by anytime and kiss the top of his cute head.
Before the second CAT scan (or maybe after–I can't remember). This is bedhead…not pigtails. 🙂
I may be falling out of my hospital gown, but I don't even care!
Vroom. Vroom. (His arm wasn't injured, btw. The nurses wrapped up his arm so he wouldn't yank out the IV)
A view of the hardest, noisiest crib ever.
I just can't quit kissing that head.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 68536
files corrupted in System 7 transfers
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:44:04 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR
Description of problem:
Files (documents and applications) transferred to Mac System 7 (7.1 through
7.6) computers are corrupted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount a Linux AppleShare volume.
2. Transfer several files from the netatalk server, including a text file (for
3. View the text file in a text editor - the text beyond a certain point in
the file will be garbled.
Additional info:
These problems occur on a system that was upgraded from Red Hat 7.2 to 7.3.
Some configuration files for netatalk were not converted to the new netatalk
format (AppleVolumes.default, for example), so there may be others that I am
not familiar with that are causing this problem.
Does this happen with newer Mac OS versions, too or only with 7.x?
Also, have you first tried to copy some documents to the server and then copy
them back or where did the files come from?
Read ya, Phil
More experimentation shows that the files are only corrupted when copying from
the netatalk server, not to the server. These Macintoshes that are having
problems are System 7.6 systems upgraded to AppleShare Client 3.8.1 for the
AppleShare IP support. I have no other System 7 Macs available to test with.
These copy problems are directly related to the Red Hat 7.3 upgrade as these
are files that have been copied many times to and from Macintosh computers
ranging from System 7.1 to 9.1.2 with previous Red Hat versions. Most of the
files in our UCSD research lab are stored on the server for safekeeping and
range from simple text files to sounds, pictures and software backups. Note
that there have been no problems reported with any of the Mac OS 8 and 9
computers - only the Macs with System 7. Hope this helps!
This bug has been inappropriately marked MODIFIED. Please review the bug life
cycle information at
Changing bug status to ASSIGNED.
I'm closing this on the assumption that it is woefully stale and no
longer of interest. If this assumption is wrong and the problem
still exists under Fedora Core, please reopen.

El Presidente Trumpo finally got tired of Tillerson talking down his BFF Putin, and he has FIRED him this morning.
He tweeted about it just now:
Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 13, 2018
Here's the reporting from the Wall Street Journal:
President Trump has ousted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and replaced him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, orchestrating a major change to his national security team amid delicate negotiations with North Korea, White House officials said Tuesday.
Trump last Friday asked Tillerson to step aside, and the embattled top diplomat cut short his trip to Africa on Monday to return to Washington.
Pompeo will replace him at the State Department, and Gina Hapsel — the deputy director at the CIA — will succeed him at the CIA, becoming the first woman to run the spy agency, if confirmed.
In a statement issued to The Washington Post, Trump praised both Pompeo and Haspel.
"I am proud to nominate the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mike Pompeo, to be our new Secretary of State," Trump said. "Mike graduated first in his class at West Point, served with distinction in the U.S. Army, and graduated with Honors from Harvard Law School. He went on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives with a proven record of working across the aisle."
If Tillerson was reading my post yesterday, he would have saw this coming…. guess he shouldn't have criticized Putin, huh?
UPDATE!!! The eminent scoop pointed out that it's being reported Rexy was fired last Friday, before he made his last comments about Russia. I respond thusly: That could be accurate or not, but Tillerson has been critical of Putin and parted from the White House line for a long time now, even if his comment yesterday isn't taken into consideration. So there.
Also here's a video:
BREAKING: President Trump fires Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, will replace him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo https://t.co/BqHNEjPeG5 pic.twitter.com/y03pq32LFR
— OutFrontCNN (@OutFrontCNN) March 13, 2018
UPDATE (TRS): I'm very glad to see Tillerson go as he has been at odds with Trump from nearly day one. Just like others in the administration that Trump picked, he just wasn't a good fit. It's been a long time coming but I'm glad this day has finally arrived.
As a reminder…
The media has been speculating that I fired Rex Tillerson or that he would be leaving soon - FAKE NEWS! He's not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects, (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!https://t.co/FrqiPLFJ1E— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 1, 2017
UPDATE (TRS): Tillerson unaware of the reason for his ouster:
BREAKING: US State Dept. says that Tillerson "did not speak to the President and is unaware of the reason" for his ouster, "but he is grateful for the opportunity to serve, and still believes strongly that public service is a noble calling." - @Abs_NBC— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 13, 2018
Tillerson "had every intention of staying because of the critical progress made in national security. He will miss his colleagues at the the Department of State and the foreign ministers he has worked with throughout the world," US State Dept. says.— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 13, 2018
UPDATE (TRS): Trump admits he and Rex have been talking about this for a long time.
President Trump praises nominee to replace Rex Tillerson, Mike Pompeo: "we're always on the same wavelength."
"Rex and I have been talking about this for a long time, we got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things." pic.twitter.com/4U1m8AbovQ
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) March 13, 2018
So all those times Trump called the rumors of Rex's ouster 'fake news', it was really true. Wow.
And here is Trump admitting he didn't discuss the decision to fire Rex with him last week:
Trump on Tillerson: "I didn't discuss it very much with him, honestly" pic.twitter.com/oAl4mGL00E
— Axios (@axios) March 13, 2018
UPDATE (TRS): Tillerson learned of his ouster via Trump's tweet!
Senior US State Dept. officials tell @mitchellreports that Sec. Tillerson learned of his firing via the president's tweet. https://t.co/Sz9jEH7OLt— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 13, 2018
Well I guess he wouldn't be the first…

Return to Play Forms Updated for 2015/16 Season
AYSA has a set of revised Concussion "Return to Play" forms for the upcoming 2015/16 season. Revised with the assistance of AYSA partner, Banner Concussion Center, the "Return to Play" forms are intended to ensure that any AYSA player who sustains a head injury/concussion has proper medical clearance from the injury prior to returning to play.
AYSA Concussion Policy & Procedures (Link)
AYSA Return to Play Forms (Link)
Head Injury - During a Game:
If a head injury occurs during a game, Referees are instructed to IMMEDIATELY remove the injured player for the remainder of the game and to pull that players pass and submit it (player pass) to the AYSA office the next business day. If playing a game out-of-state, the host association will mail the pass to AYSA. The player's coach and/or the referee are to then advise the player to seek qualified medical care to evaluate the injury.
Head Injury - During a Practice or Training Session:
If a player sustains a head injury during a team practice/training session or scrimmage where a referee is not present, the player's coach is to IMMEDIATELY remove the injured player from any/all team activities. The coach is to then advise the player to seek qualified medical care to evaluate the injury. Additionally, the coach/team manager is required to pull the players pass and submit it to the AYSA office immediately. (Please contact the AYSA office if you have any questions (602) 433-9202)
Head Injury - Future Participation:
Once a player pass has been submitted to AYSA due to a head injury, that player is NOT eligible to participate in any AYSA club/team activities. This includes any/all team practice/training sessions, scrimmage games, private training sessions and any physical participation in any team/club activities.
If a player is dual-registered with US Youth Soccer Association through AYSA and another soccer organization, the player whose AYSA pass was pulled may NOT resume activity with any United States soccer member (USClub, AYSO, USASA, etc.) until medically cleared.
AYSA RETURN TO PLAY FORMS (Explanation of):
Player passes will remain with AYSA until a player submits either the Initial Physician Evaluation Form (Explanation below) or the Follow-up Physician Form (Explanation below) to AYSA indicating that the player is medically cleared to resume competition. The player pass will then be returned and the player may resume competition at that time.
The "Return to Play" forms (Initial Evaluation Form (OR) Follow-up Physician Form) MUST be completed in-full and signed by either a Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy.
Initial Physician Evaluation Form:
(First page of "Return to Play" forms) - This form is to be presented to the tending MD or DO when having an initial head injury/concussion evaluation. (This form must be presented whether sustaining a head injury at practice/training or a game) If following an initial evaluation by either a MD or DO it is deemed that the player has NOT suffered a concussion, the tending MD or DO will check the section indicating the player is medically cleared to resume competition. The fully completed form should then be submitted (by the player, coach or team manager) to AYSA for prompt return of the player pass which will then allow the player to resume all soccer related activities (If a player pass was pulled and submitted to AYSA, the player may NOT return and participate in ANY physical team activities until the actual player pass has been physically returned to the team/player by AYSA).
However, if following an evaluation the tending MD or DO concludes that the player DID suffer a concussion (or he/she cannot conclude with medical certainty that they did NOT suffer a concussion), the MD or DO will need to check that column at the bottom of the "Initial Physician Evaluation" form indicating that the player will need to follow-up with a physician, signifying that the player is NOT medically returned to play. (This form is to then be retained by the player throughout the process of healing and submitted to AYSA when later cleared to return to play.)
Follow-up Physician Evaluation Form:
(Second page of the "Return to Play" Forms) - If the initial MD or DO whom evaluated the player indicates that a concussion occurred or if the tending doctor is uncertain, a follow-up visit with a MD or DO to identify the course of action to work their way through the concussion recovery will be necessary (At this point, it is strongly advised that the athlete/player seek an MD or DO who specializes in treatment of concussion).
Each time a concussed player attends a follow-up appointment, they will need to print page two of the "Return to Play" forms called the "Follow-up Physician Evaluation Form" and present it to the Doctor at that time for completion. (Note: If a player has the need to meet with a doctor more than once, he/she should bring a blank copy of the "Follow-up Physician Evaluation Form" each time until he/she is cleared to play.)
Once the tending follow-up MD or DO determines that athlete/player may resume full activity and that the athlete/player has been cleared, he/she will be required to sign the "Follow-up Physician Evaluation Form" indicating that the athlete/player is cleared to return to full activity due to the fact that they have had a complete neurological exam and neurocognitive testing which indicates complete recovery and has completed gradual return to play progression. Once this complete form has been submitted to AYSA, the player pass will be returned allowing that player to return to action immediately. (If a player pass was pulled and submitted to AYSA, the player may NOT return and participate in ANY physical team activities until the actual player pass has physically been returned to the team/player by AYSA).
Baseline Testing:
Concussions occur without warning. They cannot be predicted nor can the severity of any head injury. Due to this, AYSA strongly encourages our members aged 11 and older to perform a baseline test prior to suffering a head injury. Taking this 30-minute test prior will provide qualified medical doctors with a road-map on how to best treat a concussion and to eventually return a player to competition.
(Note: AYSA has a partnership with Banner Concussion Center. Although Banner is our preferred provider, it is NOT required for players to attend their center or any Banner University Medical Care providers following a head injury or concussion. Please feel free to have your player meet with any qualified and licensed MD or DO that is convenient to your home and/or your health insurance plan.)
Banner Concussion Center (Phoenix) and Banner University Medical Center - Sports Medicine (Tucson) are the AYSA official partners for the treatment of concussion. To learn more, or to inquire on how to schedule a baseline test, please contact:

'Basketball Wives' Star Laura Govan Robbed Of $700K In Jewelry & Cash From LA Home
This is horribly disturbing. 'Basketball Wives' star Laura Govan was shockingly robbed of $700,000 in cash and luxurious jewelry — items that were inside her Los Angeles home — while she was away on vacation in May. Get all the details here.
Basketball Wives: Los Angeles star Laura Govan, 37, had an unexpected and unpleasant surprise when she returned home from her May vacation. The unsuspecting beauty found that her Los Angeles home was unfortunately robbed and the burglar took $700,000 in cash and jewelry. According to a report by TMZ, she told police that $615,000 in jewelry and $98,000 in cash were both missing. The thief also took a Rolex watch worth $50,000. Physical damages included a smashed window and other family belongings spread out across the floor.
Laura told authorities that she had deactivated her security system so the neighbor who was caring for her dog could gain easy access to the home, the report continued. The mother of four stated that the doorbell of her home has motion sensors and they detected activity around 12:44 a.m. on one of the nights she was gone and a neighbor heard her dog barking around 1 a.m. that same night. The investigation is pending and there have been no suspects named and no arrests made at this time. We can only imagine the stressful time the Oakland native must be going through and we hope she gets through this difficult time quickly!
Laura, who made headlines for cozying up with her ex-boyfriend, basketball player Nick Young, 32, last year and for having a nip slip at the Wedding Ringer premiere a couple of years ago, gained exposure and popularity after being part of the cast of Basketball Wives: LA for its first two seasons. She also made a guest appearance in the show's fifth season.

This live webcam is located in the outer harbour side of Brixham at the lovely
Sea Tang Guest House
. Brixham is a pretty fishing harbour in Devon with plenty to see and do.
Sea Tang
is situated in an elegant Victorian Terrace in one of the finest locations in the "English Riviera". As you can see from this live webcam, Sea Tang has breathtaking views across Brixham Marina and the whole of beautiful Torbay. The town of Brixham is hilly and built around the harbour which is still in use as a dock for fishing trawlers and is also the base for the Brixham Lifeboat which can be seen in one of the camera's views.
Brixham is notable for being the town where the fishing trawler was improved in the 19th century. The distinctive red sails of the Brixham trawlers were coated with the local red ochre for protection which made them stand out from other trawlers of this time.
In the Middle Ages, Brixham was the largest fishing port in the south west of England, and was known as the 'Mother of Deep-Sea Fisheries'.

|RE: Foreach task)
|Mon, 11 Jun 2001 20:40:46 GMT
I second all this! I am doing something almost identical to your build process, only I'm also supporting the ability to deploy to multiple environments for development, QA, and production, each with different fundamental server configs and different physical characteristics. It doesn't make sense to write a build file for each env, since that would be a maintenance nightmare, and there is no reasonable way to homogenize the environments. If I wrote homegrown tasks to support deployment (which involves building sets of property files unique to each server instance and THEN moving the files out), it would be impossible for my successor to understand without tearing apart my code. Additionally, to maintain such a build, the next person HAS TO KNOW JAVA, and has to be familiar with developing against the Ant API. This simply isn't acceptable. Therefore, as far as I can see, the foreach is necessary from a practical point of view. Also, I'd like to make another point, however feeble: If you have a pure tool that is relatively useless, what's the point? If you want to ensure that tool's survival into the future (which everyone does; else why waste time on it?) you have to make it useful. And supporting trivial builds that could be done *very* easily with a twelve-year-old's shell script is not what people in enterprise situations would consider useful. Just my 2 cents. Regards, John -----Original Message----- From: christopher.berry [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 3:19 PM To: ant-user Subject: RE: looping (RE: Foreach task) Greetings, As the one who (innocently) began this debate, I will chime in. Although I suspect that this argument has become religious, and as such, neither side is listening to the other anymore... In my current build, I have used <foreach> three times, and I do not see an alternate approach. 1) Loop over all TAR.GZ files in a directory and unpack them -- using a generic unpack-GZfile-build.xml which takes the base filename as a supplied property. I do not think one could do this generically w/ the current Ant Tasks, or at least I couldn't figure it out. 2) Loop over every subdir in a directory and call it's build.xml file (if it exists). Our Apps build independent of each other -- calling into a shared common-build.xml. But we must also provide a generic "full build" procedure, which can build an unknown set of Apps. Of course, one could require that full-build.xml be edited whenever Apps were added or deleted, but wouldn't that be error-prone?? To me this would be similar to explicitly adding JARs to a Classpath, rather than just implicitly adding all JARs in the /lib directory. One way requires no future intervention, the other constantly bites you... 3) Loop over every file in a particular directory that matches a specific pattern, and pass it off to another Task. In this case, a home-grown Task which pulls a Version number from the filename, determines the maximum Version number in use, and writes it to a property for use in a subsequent Ant Task. Obviously I could have written a home-grown Task for each of these foreach instances. But where is the elegance in that?? Isn't "Don't Repeat Yourself" one of the cardinal rules of development. Cheers, -- Chris

Attorneys for former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Special Counsel Robert Mueller want the federal judge presiding over Manafort's criminal case to impose strict rules over who may see, copy and discuss evidence and investigative records.
The proposed order filed on Tuesday asks the judge to restrict those who can see the records, called discovery, to attorneys, "legal experts, court personnel, investigators, data or accounting analysts and database processors."
Potential witnesses and their attorneys will be allowed to view documents but not make copies. Anyone allowed to view or receive copies of the documents must agree in writing to abide by the order.
When the case is over, the documents must be destroyed, returned to the government or retained by Manafort's legal team and cannot be disseminated.
The proposed protective order comes a week after the judge issued a gag order barring attorneys and witnesses from discussing the cases with the media or in public settings that could threaten Manafort's ability to get a fair trial.

The charges in the 17-page indictment released Oct. 30 accuse Manafort of conspiring to launder money, conspiracy against the United States and failing to register as foreign agents of Ukraine's former pro-Russian government.
Manafort, who lives in Palm Beach Gardens, has offered to put up his BallenIsles home to secure his appearance in court. Manafort is on house arrest with a GPS monitor at his home in Virginia.

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 13, 2015) - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), www.ncsbn.org, NCLEX-RN® Examination reached the milestone of testing more than 1,000 Canadian students and graduates, and international applicants for licensure/registration in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. Testing for Canadian licensure/registration began Jan. 5, 2015.
Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (CCRNR) President Anne Coghlan, MScN, RN, comments, "The launch of the NCLEX-RN in Canada has gone extremely well and it is very exciting to reach this milestone. Through the collaborative efforts of NCSBN and CCRNR, we are furthering our shared commitment to excellence in nursing regulation."
Canadian RN regulators initially selected the NCLEX-RN Exam in 2012 after identifying the need for an exam that employs the latest advances in testing technology to enhance test security, increases accessibility to the exam by offering year-round testing, provides timely results and allows for precise assessment of an individual candidate's performance. The NCLEX-RN Examination was previously offered in 10 countries around the world for the purpose of domestic licensure in the U.S., the launch of testing in Canada marks the first time that the test will be used for the purpose of licensure in another country.
"I attribute the success of this launch to the hard work, dedication and cooperation between CCRNR and NCSBN over the three-year planning period to bring this to fruition," states Phil Dickison, PhD, RN, chief officer, Examinations.
Candidates seeking licensure/registration in Canada are able to take the NCLEX at any Pearson VUE test center within Canada, throughout the mainland U.S. and at select test centers internationally. Candidates can use the test center locator on the Pearson VUE NCLEX website, http://www.pearsonvue.com/nclex/, to find test center locations. In addition to the Pearson Professional Test Centers located in Canada that will be available year-round, Pearson Temporary Test Centers are available for testing during event windows in February, June and October.
In the last three years, NCSBN has worked with 10 Canadian registered nurse (RN) regulatory bodies* to prepare for the Canadian transition to the NCLEX.
For more information, please visit the Canadian Educators & Students Frequently Asked Questions on NCSBN.org.
The NCLEX-RN Examination is currently offered in 10 countries around the world for the purpose of domestic licensure in the U.S., but this partnership marks the first time that the test will be used for the purpose of licensure in another country.
Founded March 15, 1978, as an independent not-for-profit organization, NCSBN was created to lessen the burdens of state governments and bring together boards of nursing (BONs) to act and counsel together on matters of common interest. NCSBN's membership is comprised of the BONs in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. territories -- American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands. There are also 21 associate members that are either nursing regulatory bodies or empowered regulatory authorities from other countries or territories.
NCSBN Member Boards protect the public by ensuring that safe and competent nursing care is provided by licensed nurses. These BONs regulate more than 4.5 million licensed nurses.
Mission: NCSBN provides education, service and research through collaborative leadership to promote evidence-based regulatory excellence for patient safety and public protection.
The statements and opinions expressed are those of NCSBN and not the individual member state or territorial boards of nursing.

Zesco, Nkana in Barclays Cup final
MTN FAZ Super League Champions Nkana FC will face three time record Barclays Cup Champions Zesco United in the final of the Barclays Cup.
Zesco will have Matthews Nkowane to thank for the victory after he rose the highest to head home in injury time for Zesco to run away as 1 – 0 victors over stubborn Napsa Stars.
Nkana on the other hand dispatched Konkola Blades with a 2 – 0 scorleine.
Goals from Claude Bwalya and Simon Bwalya who benefitted from a man of the match, Ronald 'Sate Sate' Kampamba assist, were enough to propel Nkana into the final.
The final has been scheduled for November 22 at a yet to be named venue.

9 Comments to Zesco, Nkana in Barclays Cup final
If kalampa can repeat that 1st half display in today,s match during the cup final then chances are vy high to walk away wth the barclays trophy.anyhow hard luck Napsa that was a sucker punch at the end of the match due to reduced concentration.am sure they were thinking about penalties b4 the final whistle
We also need Mighty to go back into the premier league so that we have a stronger league. I hope they can find a serious sponsor. We miss those local copperbelt derby's they used to play with Nkana or Power and when they would come to Lusaka, oh what a crowd puller they were. Remember Arrows vs Mighty at Nkoloma? So, ba Mighty, you should work hard and get back into the premier because that's were you belong. Arrows and Buffalos, you also need to pull up your socks cause you are not division one material
Mighty is no longer Mighty! They need to work extra hard to regain their lost glory. The league is competitive to me. Top five is compact and oscillating between copperbelt teams and midlands team. What more can be competitive. That is the reason Arrows and Buffaloes are all over – competition "baba"!
Good luck Kalampa!!
Go ZESCO. It's my team. We wil see who gets it.
Man of The Match Sate Sate Ronald Kampamba is key to Zambia's job against Mozambique. Its Sate Sate, Evans Kangwa, Mayuka and Ngonga strike force that wil shape Zambia's future.
why cant the barclays cup be played by all teams from super division and the lower divisions. it been zambias only cup competition?
team ya ziko will beat kalapa boys 2-1

Add on: Goodreads
Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she's engaged to the prince, Twylla isn't exactly a member of the court.
She's the executioner.
As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she's taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla's fatal touch, avoids her company.
But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he's able to look past Twylla's executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla's been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.
However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla's problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?
Arg, this cover, soooo pretty. And I'm totally loving the sounds of this! It's pretty cool that she's executioner! Go for the doomed love! (that hopefully ends up happy…but it's a trilogy so I guess it might take a while).

This was the 4th run in our series of 2013-14.
Early temperatures were cool. By GO time we had 15 degrees and by finish the temp was 18. Ideal conditions for running. December 12 months ago, by run finish time we had a temperature of 27. Same time of year, and very different conditions.Notwithstanding the Rob Davo drink station did a roaring trade and went through 78 cups of water. The runners luv you Davo.
The ladies won the day, finishing, 1, 2 and 3 across the line.Desie Joannides was the first to cross. Slowing as she neared home; the fast finishing Tracy Lee caused Desie to make a final surge at the line – the difference on the tape was .51 of a second. Desie was first and the trophy winner, Tracy 2nd. The run was Tracy's 3rd qualifying run after having stepped up from the 3.4k only 4 months ago. Desie's watch time was 51:02. This was her fastest time since February 2010. Nearly 4 years. Her first time in the 51s in 12 months. Well done Desie.
Tracy has the goal of sub 50. Today her time was 50:02. Only 2 seconds. Oh so close! You came home very fast. Sub 50 is not far away. A great run Tracy. You have been one of the great improvers, and you are obviously going so well. Over 4 minutes chopped from your times since your time in your 10s.
Third home was Vanessa Kumar. Because of the qualifying run from Tracy, Vanessa is officially 2nd. It has been exactly 12 months since Vanessa last ran sub 50. Vanessa's last 2 runs have been in the 51s and this run she gave us a 49:43. Another super run.
4th home, first male, officially 3rd, Grant Moroney. Grant returned to the 10k handicap in November 10 after several years in the wilderness, off doing his own thing. Today's run was completed in 45:46. Grant has never been faster. Before this new series, Grant had not gone sub 49; his last 3 runs have been 48, 47 and today 45. Great, great run Grant.
On the day, out fastest were Lorri Dilucchio in 37:23 and Lisa Bennett in 44:10. This was Lisa's pb and she is targeting sub 44:00.
All up we had 48 starters, 17 of whom broke their handicap. The ideal conditions complimented their self-determinations to put in excellent efforts.
In the fastest progressive points competitions we have close contests. In the Female ranks, we have Vanessa, Mary Sheehan and Lisa all on 28 points. In the Male comp, Lachlan McKenzie leads from Paul Webb 27 to 26.
In the point-score continually improved efforts have Peter Allen leading on 785 points, from Grant on 778, and Lianne Christall on 757; from Rafic Awad on 754 and Desie on 751.
The lucky stick winner was #47 for Denise Driscoll and the ticket draw was won by Neil Saltmarsh. Both opted for a Jamiesons Run red wine.

This interview was a lot longer than this but I truncated it so nobody stabs themselves in the eyes from scrolling down so much. As expected, Paul and Erik were really cool and didnt mind talking about pretty much anything. And if anything seems serious or insulting, it probably isnt and was just them kidding around but itd probably be annoying to constantly read (laughs) before and after every question or anything they said. Here's what they had to say about their latest, BEERFEST.
|Paul Soter
|Erik Stolhanske
So what are you working on today?
Paul Soter: Its the parade that sort of introduces Oktoberfest, you know, Erik and I are brothers who come to Oktoberfest, arrive at Oktoberfest and were just getting an idea of how everything works and this is a big sort of procession.
Erik Stolhanske: In reality, theres a parade on the first day of Oktoberfest, the baron, master of ceremonies, taps the ceremonial keg and nobody gets to drink until the ceremonial keg is tapped so this is the big procession that leads up to the ceremonial tapping of the keg. Unfortunately, they show up and find out that my brother and I have already gotten into the ceremonial keg and are drunk and bathing in it.
Is it easier to work with Jurgen [Prochnow] now that you made Brian Cox pee on a car?
Paul: You get used to sort of you think that these really sort of established serious actors are gonna just show up and be mortified of what youre asking them to do and then you realize these guys never get a chance to do stuff like this so theyre just delighted to and Jurgens been a blast.
So whats the dynamic between the brothers? You guys get along? Really well?
Erik: Well, it kinda starts out Im sort of the more straight-laced business-type and we come here to spread my grandpas ashes and over the period of time that we spend together, we get closer but at the beginning were
Paul: I make him my project. Loosen him up.
Erik: Loosens me up quite a bit.
Paul: Hes all buttoned down [he points to Eriks suit wardrobe] at the beginning of the movie, fanny pack, sweater, [formal] pants. I get him looking a lot cooler by the end of the movie.
Oh are these the costumes (speaking to Erik)?
Paul & Erik: (laugh) Yeah, yeah.
You look just like Americans in a foreign country.
Paul & Erik: (laugh) Yeah, exactly.
Theres been a real shortage of these beer drinking comedies, hasnt there?
Erik: Its true, yeah. People are afraid of beer these days.
Paul: It sort of went out after STRANGE BREW and the movie BEER back in the early 80s. You know, not only that, but we spend a lot of time promoting the movies, we go to college campuses, and we realized how much they love beer drinking games on college campuses and we thought nobodys ever done a tribute to something that essentially everybody does.
Erik: Yeah, and I grew up in Minnesota and beer was just part of the culture. And then also every time you watch any sporting event, all you ever see is beer commercials.
Have you come with a drinking game to go along with movie?
Paul: Were trying to come up with ones that will accompany the DVD that you can play uh, every time theres a sex scene, maybe, you can drink or...
Erik: Really?
Paul: Yeah, theres a lot. I just realized, we were going over it today, Im the only one in the movie who doesnt have a sex scene. I dont know how that happened.
Is that gonna be changed?
Paul: Yeah, theres still time, I suppose
Erik: On the DVD, we might try to figure out a way that we can create a drinking game on it
And who are the ladies in the movie?
Paul: Theres Cloris Leachman. The, uh
Erik: Im not saying anything
Who has a sex scene with her?
Paul: Well, she has a huge thing for Jay. She kept wanting to kiss Jay.
Erik: She loves Jay.
Paul: Until finally
Erik: Oh, in the movie? I didnt know thats what you were talking about.
Paul: Cloris is a lovely lovely woman, shes no stranger to those types of scenes, if you remember THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, you know, its reminiscent of that
Erik: We gotta leave some surprises out there. You gotta come see the movie to see who Cloris has sex with.
Theres a quote right there. That should be on the poster. It should be a drinking game every time Cloris has sex with somebody in the movie
Erik: No, its Paul Soter.
So you guys kinda had a secondary role in CLUB DREAD. Do you guys like trade around, get more of a lead role in this one? Does it kinda work out that way?
Erik: Its pretty organic how it happens. I dont think we choose. We kinda look like each other.
Paul: We realized if two guys are gonna be brothers, it couldnt be Jay and somebody. And Kevin [Heffernan] and Steve [Lemme] you could have done as brothers but in THE GREEK ROAD, which is what were doing next, they play Plato and Socrates, theyre sort of the onscreen buddies the way that Erik and I are in this movie so we couldnt sort of repeat that same dynamic. So it kinda just by default ended up being us.
Are you guys gonna jump right into that after this is done? After you finish the editing here just jump right into that as soon as possible?
Paul: We would hope so. I guess its gonna really depend on the success of BEERFEST. You know, GREEK ROAD is a more ambitious project cause it is a period piece, its a costume piece, its got...
Erik: The Olympics
Paul: Gods, Mount Olympus, Olympic competition, so its one of those things where we really needed to
Erik: Nude wrestling
Paul: be able to prove to a studio that its worth putting enough money into that so hopefully BEERFEST is the one that sort of...
New Mexico also is like Greek.
Erik: (laughs) Yeah, we could probably shoot it here, yeah.
Obviously, DUKES OF HAZZARD was the movie that made all this happen, a three-picture deal on that. How much are you guys affected by that success besides obviously starring in this movie? How do you guys feel that?
Paul: It was just a very weird thing cause we just got brought in to do a little punch-up work on the script and just really hit it off with the guys at Warner Bros. and they really liked how Jay directs and they were looking for somebody to bring comedies to WB. They didnt necessarily have people that they work with in that sense and so for us it was amazing because not only did it allow us to get BEERFEST made but theyre sort of trusting us to bring them scripts that we find to help develop comedies. And were writing some other comedies with their big stars. Nobodys ever handed us that kind of trust before. Its kind of exciting to see what happens.
When you do a movie like this do you think about whats gonna be the quotable lines, what are gonna be the memorable scenes?
Erik: I dont think consciously. But theres stuff that somebodyll say that sounds funny that we end up repeating
Paul: Yeah, you never know what those sort of things are gonna be. I think what we try to do here is pack the movie with as many of those, we think, really funny lines and quotes and moments, as possible, knowing now the parts of SUPERTROOPERS and CLUB DREAD that people really responded to, I think we decided to try to create an entire movie with scenes like that.
How much of that happens in the writing stage and how much of that happens here on set when youre going back and forth?
Paul: Its mostly the writing stage, only because up until now weve always been so under the gun in terms of shooting just to make our days, weve never been able to do a whole lot of improvisation so basically what we try to do is once weve got a script, rehearse it, rehearse it, rehearse it and as were rehearsing it, go ahead and say, you know, do whatever you want, go off the script. And then some stuff comes out that way. This time weve got a little more luxury, I think weve come up with a few things. But it still mostly takes place mostly in writing it.
What are those elements that people are responding to? You mentioned the elements that people responded to in CLUB DREAD and SUPERTROOPERS. What do you think are those elements?
Paul: Its hard to say. You can see where the big comedy the scenes like the opening in SUPERTROOPERS, the scenes that have I think a sense of anarchy are the ones that people really seem to like.
How long does it take you to write a movie like this from when you first get the idea to through all the meetings?
Paul: We actually had our first session on this in my apartment right around the time that CLUB DREAD came out.
Erik: We were still living in NY.
Paul: So I would say about two years from the first meeting on that to starting the film.
Erik: We were also writing in between. We wrote this other movie, this OPERATION: HIGH MAINTENANCE in between
So what kinda games happen at Beerfest, if you can say?
Paul: Well, Beerfest is everything from the games you heard, quarters and pong
They dont have quarters in Germany, though
Paul: Yeah, its krugerbounze (Note: Not sure about the spelling here). Which is part of the trick to it is that we have to learn how to play with a big heavy coin. To things that we made up like a guy standing on top of a ladder having to pour a picture of beer into the mouth of a guy laying down below without spilling a drop. We wanted to exaggerate it and make up stuff and have it be sort of a funhouse mirror kind of
Erik: We have a Survivor-esque type obstacle course. We had to get through carrying a beer, not spilling and drinking.
Paul: We were gonna do a greased pig contest where you had to drink a beer while chasing a greased pig around. But that got cut.
Erik: We didnt have time or money.
What did the movie beer taste like?
Paul: Its ODouls. But a lot of the times when were supposed to be drinking German beer, ODouls isnt dark enough, so theyve been mixing in diet coke and stuff like that.
They have food coloring now.
Paul: Yeah, they did switch to coloring.
Erik: Yeah, but for a long time it was diet coke and ODooles.
How much are you drinking and how much are you peeing?
Erik: A lot. And these guys are in lederhosen, like [Will] Forte and Eric Christian Olsen
Paul: Yeah, all the guys who play the German bad guys are drinking in lederhosen and you see them and its like getting out of a ski outfit. When they run to the next room to go to the bathroom, theyre gone for ten minutes.
Just to mention, the formula of snobs vs. slobs, is that something you specifically wanted to go back to? That great formula of ANIMAL HOUSE or CADDYSHACK?
Paul: Yeah, you have to remember that the template for this is also the sports movie and so we wanted a HOOSIERS-like or ROCKY-like dynamic of the losers or the underdogs who then go on its like the miracle on ice [where we need] an invincible force in the form of the German team. So yeah, it just inevitably became the snobs vs. slobs dynamic but you need that for your RUDY underdog any kind of sports movie dynamic to work.
Erik: It showed up that the young Americans were the underdogs and the Germans were the international powerhouse like the Russians were.
Paul: Right. Weve created these wonderful cartoon, robotic, machine-like evil German villains. And its a blast. Theyre hysterical.
Erik: Yeah, theyre great.
BEERFEST goes wide on August 25th

There are three or four different ways in Django to simply and easily filter your table, and none of them is fully documented, none of them works readily with other things like pagination and sorting, and all of them are very leaky abstractions. The typical quality of documentation is exactly where it was when I stopped contributing heavily to open source back in 2003: written by people who understand 100% of the problem, and believe they are providing 90-100% of the solution, but actually including only about 60% of the solution. Some kind soul figured out how to get three different pre-existing features: sorting, filtering, and looking pretty, to work together, and it took me only 10 hours to figure out how to get that solution to work. And it still looks terrible. Yay?
This was the first time since I really dug in to this project that I considered abandoning Django for something else but when I googled for ruby on rails table sort filter paginate I—Actually, I didn't see this before. Hmm, that example actually does exactly what I want to do, and it's fully documented, and it looks decent, and it's from 2011. Maybe when I wake up in the morning I'll switch platforms and throw out 80 hours of suffering.

Accepted: 16 July 2004
We explore the adiabatic pulsational properties of massive white dwarf stars with hydrogen-rich envelopes and oxygen/neon and carbon/oxygen cores. To this end, we compute the cooling of massive white dwarf models for both core compositions taking into account the evolutionary history of the progenitor stars and the chemical evolution caused by time-dependent element diffusion. In particular, for the oxygen/neon models we adopt the chemical profile resulting from repeated carbon-burning shell flashes expected in very massive white dwarf progenitors. For carbon/oxygen white dwarfs we consider the chemical profiles resulting from phase separation upon crystallization. For both compositions we also take into account the effects of crystallization on the oscillation eigenmodes. We find that the pulsational properties of oxygen/neon white dwarfs are noticeably different from those made of carbon/oxygen, thus making asteroseismological techniques a promising way to distinguish between the two types of stars and, hence, to obtain valuable information about their progenitors.
Key words: stars: evolution / stars: white dwarfs / stars: oscillations

Miss September : : Steffy's Pros & Cons
I am insanely inspired by Steffy. I love her positive attitude and work ethic... She is probably one of the busiest people I know, and she does it all with a smile! I was so excited when she agreed to let me interview her. Enjoy!
On where she lives... I was born in Long Island, New York actually! My life has been one big "indecisive mess" between florida and new york. my parents moved us to Boca Raton, Florida when I was 7 1/2 years old but we continued to spend summers in NY and all of my family lived there, so freshman year of college I moved back to NYC to attend NYU. I decided it wasn't for me, so I finished college at UCF, and THEN moved BACK to NYC after graduation and worked in the city for a year. I then lived in Nicaragua for 7 months, and now I am in Miami! Needless to say, i move around a lot. phew.
On her boyfriend... I met matty actually because my best friend lacey went on spring break many moons ago and told me she "met my soulmate." at the time we were (lace and i)living with my current boyfriend (hehe). Well, we were out on St. Patricks day and she grabs me and screams "there is your soulmate i met on spring break! omg! you're talking to him." I was still with my current boyfriend, but about 2 minutes after talking to matt i decided i was in LOVE! he was just amazing, we liked all of the same things.. we just clicked. That was in March of 2009. Since then we were long distance for the 7 months i lived in NYC and then we moved to Nicaragua together because he was managing a hotel out there for surfers. After that we moved in together in Miami.
Matt works in the film industry as a data wrangler/camera assistant. he works a lot on commercial sets, and he also works at a film house where they rent out cameras for all of the movies/commercials being filmed around miami. he is a genius at anything camera related! if you want to check out more of his work, here's his website. he always takes my photos, and for that i will forever be in debt to him :)
On blogging... When i was living in Nicaragua i was bored out of my skull, not being able to speak much spanish and i lived in a tiny little town where everyone was related. I started to look at big blogs like Eat.Sleep.Wear, Second Skin, and Keiko Lynn every day because it would bring me back to my life in the USA. In Nica i did not have any clothes really, and i pretty much lived in a swimsuit and never ever shopped. i missed being a girl and i missed fashion, so i probably read back on every entry of every one of these blogs. I had no idea how many other blogs of the same kind were out there until i moved back to the USA, started documenting my outfits and began a blog of my own. My motivations haven't changed since I began. I do it because i love clothes and pretty things, and it brings me close to other people all over who have the same interests as i do. Mostly, i do it because it is FUN. i think the second its a drag for me, i will stop.
My favorite part is of course meeting so many amazing and inspiring people. I have literally met some great friends through blogging after only 6 months. I even met up with Gaby from Fashionable Collections in NYC, and she felt like an old pal! I look forward to meeting other bloggers through the years, and cannot wait to meet Jessie of Strawberry Moth in September! The biggest accomplishment was when I was published in Vogue Girl Korea. I think I skipped around for a week after that one. The biggest challenge is definitely time management. I use literally every free second i can being active in the blogging community.
My style is very girly and vintage inspired. I have an OBSESSION with polka dots and pretty collars, and i can't get enough of dresses and skirts. i have always been this way. when i was a little girl, my mom said i was the only one playing on the playground in tights and dresses.
I would place my blog into the category of a personal fashion blog with a hint of lifestyle. If Matt and I go on a fun little vacation or do anything interesting, i always bring along the camera and post up pictures :) I use Matt's Canon 7D with a 50mm lens.
How she stays sane with a busy schedule... i don't. I live life much too stressed. i think it is because i care SO much about everything i do, that it literally drives me nuts. I try to step back and let go a bit, but it is hard. the funny thing is that i haven't always been this way, i just became this way as i got older.
As for hobbies, i love LOVE to travel. road trips, and any trips make me happy. i also love to run, as sick as that sounds. i try to run every day if i have the time.. and i even convince matt to go with me sometimes! also, obviously thrifting is something that always makes me excited!
On her dream career... One of them is for my online store to grow and grow until it is my full time job. It makes me so happy when i can make other girls happy with my vintage finds. I would also love to work for a company I really feel connected with such as ModCloth or Urban Outfitters as a stylist or a buyer. I am in school right now for Fashion Merchandising and I hope my degree/experience will lead me somewhere great!
Her advice to other bloggers... Only post when there is something to be posted. I try to take a lot of time for each post that I create, because I only like to put the best out there, since my blog is directly representative of me. Make sure you have quality images also!

She is so cute. Thanks for introducing me to a new blogger! xoxoReplyDelete
Such a cute intereview! Love the polka dot skirt in the last pic :)ReplyDelete
wow i love her story. i often take a big breath before explaining where i am from.ReplyDelete
Steffy is so amazing, she is one of those bloggers that takes the time to comment on every one of your posts. I loved hearing about how her and Matt met, so crazy!ReplyDelete

On Barefoot Dogs by Antonio Ruiz-Camacho
Our literary director Steph Opitz talks with Austin-based author Antonio Ruiz-Camacho about his debut collection of short stories Barefoot Dogs (Scribner, March 2015). In interlocking stories told from different points of view, the Arteaga family suffers a tragedy in their home-country of Mexico and attempts to reconcile what comes after.
Where did this collection come from? What inspired it?
The drug war that has been going on in Mexico for almost two decades now has left a horrendous trail of death and suffering that has deeply haunted me. An estimated 20,000 people have disappeared; 100,000 have been killed, and approximately a quarter million people have been displaced in Mexico as a result of drug-related violence. Thousands of middle-class and upper-middle-class Mexican families have come to the U.S seeking refuge from kidnapping, extortion and murder. I wanted to talk about all of this, but I didn't want to focus on the violence itself, but rather on the emotional, personal consequences of that violence on those who've had to endure it.
What was the most difficult story/character to write? Why?
There's a story in the book called "Origami Prunes," about an affair between a middle-aged Mexican housewife and a fellow Mexican expat who's two decades younger than her, that takes place at an Austin laundromat. A lot of strange and yet funny things happen in that story in terms of plot and language. My intent was to reflect the sense of isolation, dislocation, grief and despair that these two characters are going through in a way that was not overtly sad or depressing, but rather sensual, provocative and hysterical. That was hard to do.
Your background is as a journalist, was it with this sort of lens that you wrote about the violence and injustices happening in your home country? Or did it come from a different place? Maybe, better put: how to you negotiate truth in fiction?
My journalistic background has, of course, informed my fiction writing. I've covered immigration issues for almost two decades, and that has left a mark. But one of the greatest things about writing fiction as a journalist is the freedom to reshape reality, to deform the past, the present, even the future. I think the source of trauma of these characters is deeply rooted in reality, but the way their tragedy is presented in the book is unequivocally fictional.
What was it like writing in your second language?
It was hard at the beginning. I felt I was writing in Spanish using English words, and I even tried to force myself to write like a native speaker at some point. I, of course, failed terribly. Then I realized I'd only develop a style, if any, by embracing precisely the uniqueness of my voice, which comes from my approach to language as a Spanish speaker. It's still hard to write in English, but now I enjoy the challenge.
Do you feel like short story collections are having a renaissance? This is interlocked stories, but at any point did you think about/where you asked to make this a more conventional novel?
This collective family saga unfolded one story at a time. Only after I had three stories did I realize the characters in all of them were connected, so I decided to investigate more about them. That was how the collection came about. I could not have written a novel because I was just intending to write separate stories–but somehow the characters in them managed to put together the collection.
As for short stories, I think we're always talking about the renaissance of the story collection, but great story collections have been a staple in American letters for a long time. I recently taught a short story course at UT, and put together a list of absolutely amazing stories for my students to read. From John Cheever to Flannery O'Connor to Sherman Alexie to Oscar Cásares to Anthony Doerr to Jennine Capó Crucet to Elizabeth McCracken, the stories in that list covered every decade from the thirties through present day. Story collections have never gone away, and they're here to stay.

Tag: ice age
This doesn't look like much but it is astounding. This is a piece of bone found about 40 years ago in Sequim, Washington – a mastodon skeleton was discovered when Mr. Manis was digging out a pond on his field on the Olympic Peninsula. A mastodon is sort of like an elephant but a little smaller. The little lighter thing in the middle is actually a spear point, stuck in the bone, also of mastodon bone. There is a sweet but tiny exhibit in Sequim that displays the bones and this point and I took the picture when I visited few weeks ago. Here's the thing. This bone, and spear point in it, have been dated to 13,800 years old. It is one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, proven evidence of early humans in North America, right here on the Olympic Peninsula in the shadow of Olympic National Park. People used to think the great ice covered this area that long ago, but apparently not. Apparently parts of the peninsula were a refuge from the ice, and maybe the hunters who took this animal lived there.
Check out this link – clear and compelling evidence that much, if not all, evidence of ancient human activity in North America may lie beneath the sea….This is Daryl Fedje discussing his excellent work near Haida Gwaii, the former Queen Charlotte Islands off the British Columbia Coast, and the site of two of my tales.
Ice age Europeans on the brink of extinction
Ice-age Europeans roamed in small bands of fewer than 30, on brink of extinction (Horizon magazine)
In some cases, small bands of potentially as few as 20 to 30 people could have been moving over very large areas, over the whole of Europe as a single territory, according to Professor Ron Pinhasi, principal investigator on the EU-funded ADNABIOARC project.
This demographic model is based on new evidence that suggests populations were much smaller than is generally thought to be a stable size for healthy reproduction, usually around 500 people. Such small groupings may have led to reduced fitness and even extinctions.
'As an archaeologist and anthropologist, I was quite shocked to see how limited, how small the population numbers were. You know, shockingly small,' said Prof. Pinhasi, based at University College Dublin, Ireland.
Prof. Pinhasi's team has found that the genomes sequenced from hunter-gatherers from Hungary and Switzerland between 14 000 to 7 500 years ago are very close to specimens from Denmark or Sweden from the same period.
These findings suggest that genetic diversity between inhabitants of most of western and central Europe after the ice age was very limited, indicating a major demographic bottleneck triggered by human isolation and extinction during the ice age.
'We're starting to be able to reconstruct the actual dynamics of migrations and colonisation of the continent by modern humans and that's never been done before the genomic era,' explained Prof. Pinhasi.
He believes that early humans crossed the continent in small groups that were cut off while the ice was at its peak, then successively dispersed and regrouped over thousands of years, with dwindling northern populations invigorated by humans arriving from the south, where the climate was better.
'You see a real reduction in population numbers and diversity, so you see the few lineages that probably split or separated before the ice age, and then stayed isolated during the ice age,' he said. 'Some time after the ice age, they kind of re-emerge, or disperse, and get together, as we see new contributions to European lineages from Asia and in particular the Near East.'
The exposed plain below the Bering Sea, dry land during the ice times, is now being considered as a possible place people lived before they entered North America. Check this article out: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/343/6174/979.short
When did modern humans first appear in North America? How did they get here? Through the "ice free corridor" or along the coast? What do you think?
