Mossy Prehensile-tailed Gecko
(Rhacodactylus chahoua)
Mossy Prehensile-tailed Gecko
Rhacodactylus chahoua has several common names that people use to describe this species. Those names include the Bavay's Giant Gecko, Short-snouted Giant Gecko, Short-snouted New Caledonian Gecko, Mossy Prehensile-tailed Gecko and the Mossy New Caledonian Gecko. Those who are familiar with this species often refer to their Rhacodactylus chahoua as "chewies". These geckos range in color from rusty red - brown, green or gray. Their name is a tribute to their moss or lichen-like patterns their bodies are adorned with. Mossy prehensile-tailed geckos are nocturnal omnivores.
The mossy prehensile-tailed gecko is native to the island of New Caledonia and inhabit the main island of Grande Terre, Iles Belep (Ile Art only), and the offshore isle of pines (Île des Pins). They are typically found close to rivers, streams, or other water sources on the mainland. This species inhabits gallery and closed forests. It is nocturnal and arboreal. It shelters by day in tree crevices and holes and forages at night in the canopy. [1]
Enclosure - Housing
As an arboreal species, vertical space is more important than the amount of floor space the enclosure has. The Exo-Terra Front Opening Terrariums make wonderful enclosures and come in a variety of sizes. The Exo-Terra 36"W x 18"D x 18"H (90 x 45 x 45 cm) front opening terrarium is ideal for a pair of Rhacodactylus chahoua. An Exo-Terra 24"W x 18"D x 18"H (60 x 45 x 45 cm) front opening terrarium is adequate for a single Rhacodactylus chahoua. Younger Rhacodactylus chahoua can be housed in the Exo-Terra 12"W x 12"D x 18"H (30 x 30 x 45 cm) front opening terrarium.
Some keepers use bed-a-beast, peat moss, sphagnum moss and cypress mulch, or they use a mixture of a few. You want to cover the floor with 1 to 1 1/2" of whichever substrate you use. The suggested substrates all retain moisture well, which will aid with the humidity.
Enclosure Decor
As an arboreal species, the enclosure you provide should have branches granting the geckos access to all parts of the enclosure. Artificial vines can be used to create an attractive display enclosure. Cork bark is also a great additive. The natural colors and markings of Rhacodactylus chahoua makes them blend in wonderfully with the cork bark. Cork bark can be leaned against walls, adhered to the walls with silicone, or rested upon the floor of the enclosure. Rocks can also be added to help occupy floor space as a climbing material, leaning material for cork bark, or simply as an enclosure decoration.
Rhacodactylus chahoua do well within the 75°- 85° temperature range, during the summer months. If you are cooling your Rhacodactylus chahoua for the winter, a temperature range of 70°- 74° is ideal. Evening temperatures can drop 5- 10 degrees.
Temperature Control
Temperature control is vital to good husbandry. It is our responsibility to ensure that our geckos have adequate temperatures to properly digest their food, thermoregulate, and maintain a healthy immune system. In order to do this, monitoring and control of the enclosures temperature is vital. In order to know what temperatures you have within your enclosure, you must be using a quality thermometer. The thermometer you choose to use will allow you to adjust the temperatures within the enclosure with accuracy, and will allow you to monitor them to make sure they are sufficient. Having a thermometer is not the only thing you should be concerned with. The type of thermometer you use is equally important. A quality thermometer will yield accurate temperature readings. If you attempt to use a lower quality thermometer, you could find yourself providing sub-par temperatures even though the thermometer reads they are accurate. Below we have descriptions of the three most commonly used thermometers.
Digital Thermometers
The best digital thermometers are those that read both the indoor and outdoor temperatures at the same time. These units have an external probe that is designed to be placed out of a window while the base unit remains inside. From the comfort of the indoors, you can see the temperature of both the room you are in, as well as the temperature outside. This type of digital thermometer can be purchased at varying retail stores such as Target and Wal-Mart. Unbelievably, these can actually be bought for under $15.00 and sometimes as low as $10.00. The investment in this single unit will allow you to place the base of the unit over on the cool end of the enclosure and have the probe resting on the warm end. With this single unit you will be capable of monitoring both ends of the enclosure at the same time, and with great accuracy. This is the best solution for monitoring the temperatures.
Temperature Guns
Temperature guns are an accurate and swift method to check out the temperature of your reptile cages and environments instantly, at any time. Using infrared technology, you simply aim the hand held device exactly at the point you are looking to get the temperature of, and you press a button. Within seconds, you get the exact temperature reading for that location.
Radial Thermometers
Every petstore carries these things. They are small round thermometers that adhere to the wall of the enclosure with a sticky pad. They typically cost $5.00 or less and these are often used by new enthusiasts as the first thermometer investment they make. Unfortunately, while a bargain, you get what you pay for. These thermometers have been known to be off by as much as 5-10 degrees! Don't waste your money!
Stick-on Thermometers
These should never be used on your enclosures and are a complete waste of money. They were initially designed for monitoring tanks that had water in them. For that purpose, they are generally reliable though even serious fish enthusiasts believe a digital thermometer is far more reliable.
Like most reptiles, a photoperiod of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness is preferred. During the summer months, the daytime photoperiod can be extended to 14 hours if you wish.
Mossy Prehensile-tailed Geckos are nocturnal thus they require no special lighting. UVB lights can be used to simulate daylight but is not necessary for them to absorb calcium or Vitamin D-3. As a gecko that utilizes high amounts of calcium during egg production, low level UVB could be beneficial for a few hours each morning after she has been bred. More research needs to be done on the UVB impact to make any type of definitive statement toward or against its use.
Mossy prehensile-tailed geckos reside in humid regions so they have a moderate humidity requirement. Moderate should not be misconstrued for "wet". A consistent humidity level of around 65-80% is adequate. Your substrate, a large water bowl, and regular misting can help achieve this. Allowing the substrate to dry out between misting is recommended.
A piece of cork bark leaned against a wall is the simplest way to maintain a completely dry location in the enclosure. When misting you should avoid spraying this area. This will offer your Rhacodactylus chahoua a location where it can dry itself.
Mossy prehensile-tailed geckos are omnivores. Their natural food items are fruit, insects, nectars and small lizards. In captivity, many of us feed the Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) formulated by Allen Repashy and supplement with insects that have been gut loaded and dusted with calcium and a vitamin supplement. Herptivite is a great vitamin supplement. Rep-cal is a trusted calcium supplement line. Crickets or roaches should be the staple insects. Gut loading them prior to feeding is essential, as your gecko will be eating whatever it is your feeders have in them. The better the diet your insects are receiving, the better the diet your chewie is receiving. Live prey should be offered 2 times per week and offer the CGD 3 times per week. When offering the gut loaded and dusted insects, toss in one at a time in the evening and allow the geckos to eat as many as they want. Once they show disinterest, stop feeding them.
A large water dish can be left in the enclosure at all times. This will offer the geckos a place to drink but will also raise the humidity. Corner water dishes work well. Many gecko owners find their geckos prefer to drink from the water droplets left from misting.
The lifespan for Rhacodactylus chahoua can exceed 20 years.
Males possess noticeable hemipenal bulges when they are sexually mature. Females do not have hemipenal bulges.
Several breeders suggest waiting until your female is between 2- 2.5 years old before she is introduced to a male. Those females that are bred earlier tend to develop calcium related issues as a result of the calcified eggs they produce. Males reach sexual maturity at 1.5 years.
Male and females being introduced need to be monitored for compatibility. If aggression is seen, they will need to be separated. You may or may not witness copulation. The female will lay her eggs anywhere she feels is adequate. You can provide a moist hide for her. If you are using a moist hide, you may want to avoid using a substrate in the breeding tank. This will encourage the female to lay the eggs in the moist hide. You can also offer her a corner of the enclosure that has sphagnum moss or pieces of cork bark. The female will protect her eggs, which will help you know when you have found them.
You can either collect the eggs for artificial incubation or you can allow them to remain in the enclosure and see if they hatch on their own.
If you will be incubating them, the eggs should be placed in deli cups with 2-3 small holes and 1-2 inches of moistened vermiculite and/or perilite. Make sure you squeeze out any excess water. Eggs should be placed in a slight indention in the substrate to prevent them from moving. Place the eggs at least 1/2" apart to allow for growth/expansion. Eggs can be incubated between 80°- 84° degrees.
The eggs produced by these geckos severely deplete the calcium reserves of the female. A dish of calcium should be left in the enclosure at all times when breeding. This will allow the female the ability to replenish her reserves on an as-needed basis.

Like most people from the US, I have spent a lot of the past few hours reading about the events in Boston yesterday. In the midst of the news reports and fact finding early on, the New Yorker posted an article about the Meaning of the Boston Marathon to the running community and to an international audience.
This quote from the article summarizes the feeling that so many US citizens are feeling, but may not be able to articulate.
If you were glued to social media yesterday, like me, you probably saw tweets quoting Mister Rogers.
Horrific events, both natural and manmade, happen throughout the world daily. As the rest of the world shifts to the devastating earthquake in Iran, the citizens of the US will begin to heal and look for the individuals responsible for the attack. Our obsession with the horrific, unsolved crime should not prevent us from thinking about the world beyond the US.
You may chose to help by celebrating the lives of those who were lost, sharing photos or videos from the scene, volunteering or donating blood, money or time. I know I'll be looking for ways to help those in Boston and Iran. Charity Navigator is keeping a running list of organizations you may wish to donate to for the Boston Marathon. I have not found anything specific for the Iran earthquake, but Charity Navigator also has some suggestions for helping when disaster strikes.

The Government is set to introduce a new scheme to help tackle fuel filling station crimes in the UK after growing concerns regarding drivers who fill up and drive away without paying. The initiative is being launched by the police in conjunction with major fuel retailers and suppliers.
In the 12 month period from September 2014 to September 2015, there was a total of 62,300 incidents. This represented a 10% leap from the previous 12 months and is estimated to have cost businesses across the UK a sum into the millions. In fact, the British Oil Security Syndicate (BOSS) estimates industry losses from forecourt crime amounted to almost £22 million in 2014-15. This figure also only takes into account the direct loss in terms of the cost of the product itself, and not the administration and associated costs of taking action after the event.
Another situation that you may or may not have found yourself in is when drivers fill up and then discover they don't have any means of paying for fuel. Whilst this mostly results in later payment, an estimated 25% of cases result in the employment of debt collection agencies to claim payment. This costs the industry an estimated further £9.7 million.
The new initiative will form a Steering Group on Forecourt Crime with the aim of providing a better flow of information between relevant groups and look at what works best in preventing the offence which is officially categorised under the Theft Act 1978.
Minister for Preventing Abuse, Exploitation and Crime Karen Bradley said: "Theft from forecourts causes huge damage to businesses. This Government is committed to working with industry and police to tackle those crimes, and to limit the opportunities for offenders to commit them in the first place.
"We expect police forces to investigate all crimes, and we encourage retailers to report all crimes to improve understanding of the extent of the problem."

An apparently mentally disturbed man Friday evening jumped the fence of the White House, scurried across the North Lawn, raced up the steps the North Portico, and barged through the unlocked door of the executive mansion.
President Obama and his family and just left for Camp David.
The man, one Omar J. Gonzales, apparently is mentally disturbed and did not represent a danger, though of course Secret Service officers didn't know that while he was making his sprint.
Not sure why they didn't release the dog, who usually "tackles" such matters.

Article Title
Increasing the Generativity of Identity-Based Procedures for Establishing Arbitrary Conditional Relations
Document Type
Previous studies have shown that conditional discrimination training procedures involving identity matching to complex samples can produce emergent arbitrary relations. Identity-based training with complex stimuli therefore may be a valuable procedure for efficiently generating large networks of stimulus relations. The present study was an attempt to increase the yield of emergent relations from identity-based procedures by (a) including an extra (cross-modal) stimulus among the elements of the complex sample that was not implicated directly in the experimental contingencies and (b) including this extra stimulus in overlapping stimulus sets to promote the merger of separately trained classes. Identity-based relations were taught in the format of ABCD-X, in which Stimuli A, B, and C were visual symbols presented as a compound, D was an auditory stimulus presented simultaneously with the ABC compound, and X was a correct comparison stimulus identical to A, B, or C. Four 4-member stimulus classes emerged from this training, and pairs of classes sharing an auditory stimulus (0) subsequently merged to form two 7 -member classes. The training of 12 identity-based relations produced 72 untrained arbitrary relations. This yield rivals that expected from stimulus equivalence procedures involving arbitrary-matching training and thus provides encouragement for the extension of identity-based procedures in the field of stimulus equivalence.

BJP to move adjournment motion in LS on NandigramNovember 19th, 2007 - 11:48 am ICT by admin
New Delhi, Nov 19 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will today move an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha on the continuing violence in Nandigram.
Senior party leader Murli Manohar Joshi has already moved a motion in Rajya Sabha for a debate on Nandigram.
It is highly surprising that Congress is silent on Nandigram. Just because CPI-M is backing UPA government at the Centre, it is improper to forgive its cadre as Nandigram was made a war zone, Joshi said.
The motion seeks suspension of the Question Hour today to allow discussion on the Nandigram issue.
Earlier, BJP leader V K Malhotra said that Nandigram has witnessed severe crime against women and children and the Lok Sabha has a mandate to discuss issues like this, which amounts to a civil war.
The party cited the discussion of the 2002 Gujarat riots in the Parliament as an example of a 'State issue' being debated in the Parliament.
"Why can't Nandigram be discussed when Gujarat has been discussed several times," Malhotra said.
With the Left Front has shown reluctance for a Parliamentary debate on the issue by citing it to be a "State issue", the party is in no mood to spare the Left on the situation prevailing there, which has led to civil society coming out to protests against the State Government in huge numbers.
Gurudas Das Gupta said that Nandigram could be discussed in the West Bengal Assembly but not in Parliament.
The BJP said that the Nandigram issue is not exclusively a State issue since it relates to the acquisition of land for Special Economic Zone (SEZ), which is a central subject. (ANI)

Lilith used to be an always busy tiny all day coffee/breakfast bar situated in a small street just off the busy Nieuwe Binnenweg. Recently they made the move to a large place on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, and now they not only serve a great all day breakfast, but a super tasty dinner too!
For breakfast they serve a great selection of healthy (green) acai bowls, poached eggs, and super delicious American pancakes (for instance with sour cream and salmon, or with beetroot and spinach). Choosing is difficult, but pancakes are always a good idea, and I recently found out that they taste even better accompanied by a glass of wine! Breakfast is served until 17:00.
For dinner there are many healthy and tasty options like mussels, the beetroot burger, or a vegan butter chicken bowl. They cook with loads of fresh herbs and ingredients, and the prices are very reasonable!
There is no better place to spend your weekend: start off with breakfast, finish with dinner; you don't need to go anywhere else!

Actress Tika Sumpter has reportedly given birth to a baby girl.
The Ride Along star was surprised to discover she was expecting earlier this year (16) and went out of her way to keep the news a secret from family and friends. However, she announced she was pregnant in August (16) and she has recently given birth.
Details surrounding the baby have not been revealed, but the 36-year-old has taken to Twitter to offer her thoughts on parenthood, writing, "Dear Mom's, dad's and caretakers. I'm slow clapping for each and every one of you. It ain't no joke."
Tika has yet to name the father of her child, but last month (Sep16) the actress opened up about her relationship, insisting the couple wouldn't be rushing down the aisle.
"One of the first questions my mother asked when she found out I was pregnant was, 'Are you going to get married?'" she told Fit Pregnancy & Baby magazine. "I'd love to, but maybe in a year or so. I've been with my boyfriend for more than a year and a half. Our relationship is not dependent on a ring. I love him to death, and he loves me to death, and that's all that matters to me."
She also explained she wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret so she could enjoy it privately.
"I didn't want to hear, 'Who's the dad? Are you with the dad?'" she continued. "Social media can be harsh, and I'm a mama bear, protective of my family. So that's why I waited to tell people, including some friends. My friends weren't mad at me. They said, 'You did it the way you wanted to do it. You're an inspiration'."

Have you had it with using eye glasses or contact lenses? Does
seeing your blurry eye glasses and then forever misplacing them
annoy you to no end? And that chain you use to secure your glasses
with, keeps getting in the way? Have you given up on hurriedly putting
your contacts to right everyday? Are you forever depending on your
glasses just to see something? If you saye yes to any of these questions,
then perhaps it is time for to think of an alternative that could
drasticaly change your way of seeing things. Lasik is an advanced
technology that repairs eyes through surgery. For some, it brings
back the vision to 20/20 or better.
Not everyone is cut out to have Lasik surgery, but for others it
has become a do or die situation. Having to wear eye glasses or
contact lenses for the rest of your life is not a very pleasant
prospect, thus having a Lasik eye surgery becomes a necessity. Being
liberated from their eye glasses or contact lenses is and most appealing
to individuals with this condition. To others, it might just be
another modern invention of technology but for others who are in
dire need of vision correction, this is a miracle. Whichever way,
Lasik is an amazing modern technology that will literally and figuratively
change figuratively change our points of view.
Before you have Lasik eye surgery, it is imperative for you to
fully understand what Lasik is so you can come to a good decision
if it is really right for you. Remember that Lasik is a type of
surgery, and as in all surgical procedures, there are risks that
come with it. Arming yourself with enurself with enough knowledge
is the best way to understand the risks and being prepared for it.
Do your research. You could go to the various websites and talk
matters over with with your eye doctor, issues regarding the process
and the complications involved. Inquire about the healing period,
pre-op period, pre-op requirements, etc. As soon as you have a good
understanding of what Lasik is, then it is time for you to come
to a decision if going through it is worth the risks.
One's eyes differ from the others. They are as distinctive
as fingerprints. This is why many security companies employ retinal
scans as identification method and as security control. There is
no posibility of duplicating the eye more than the fingerprint.
The initial step towards having Lasik surgery is visiting your eye
doctor so you can have your eyes thoroughly examined followed by
a a discussion of your current health conditions and medical history.
After evaluating all these, your doctor could advise you if you
are a qualified candidate for the Lasik eye surgery.
Lasik is just one of the many eye surgical procedures available
today. Because of fast recovery recognized success rate of this
method, it has become the most preferred method of eye surgery.
In ordinary terms, Lasik means making an incision to create a flap
in the eye surface to allow reshaping of the cornea. It is quite
a simple surgery that some doctors even allow you to see a film
of the procedure.
This will apprise you of the procedure so you would know what could
happen during the surgery. If you decide to go on with the surgery,
your doctor should discuss with you all the possibilities before,
during and after the surgery. If you have had it with glasses or
contact lenses, then Lasik could be your best option. The aim of
the surgery is to restore your vision to 20/20, but this is not
possible all the time. Do not be discouraged.
If Lasik cannot completely correct your vision, possibly, it could
still make you see better. You could now have thinner or lighter
lenses. Or you would not have to be 100% dependent on your contact
lens or glasses as you will only have to put it on for reading.
For others, this is good enough and well worth the money they are
spending. To be absolutely certain of what the possibilities are
having a successful surgery is by visiting your eye doctor.
Going to a capable eye doctor and having realistic hopes about
Lasik surgery will be a good start. Lasik may not be for everybody
but it might be for you. Call on your eye doctor for consultation
now to know if you qualify for Lasik eye surgery! Be able to look
at the world from a different perspective with your brand new eyes!

booties: Forever21 | hat: Free People | watch: Michael Kors
I wore this simple and easy outfit out and about on Saturday. I posted about these booties the other week via Twitter and I finally got them. So happy with my purchase, as they are super easy and comfortable to walk in [trust me, I did the ultimate test by shopping for hours and hours whilst wearing them]. And, ohh, this hat! I'm in love; I can't tell you how many complements I received. Match the booties and hat with leggings and a statement cocoon coat for a polished laid back vibe.

You can check out a video walkthrough below or you can follow our guide to see how you can make a thumbnail slider in under three minutes.
How It Works
With the Carousel Addon for Soliloquy, you can display multiple images all at once. Configuration is customizable to your needs, you can set the minimum and maximum number of images to show at once, set the width and height, and determine how many images move during transitions. If you want even more customization, you can utilize the CSS Addon.
While anyone can use a carousel slider, there are certain webpages that benefit greatly from it. Upon reflection, you have likely seen a carousel slider for:
- Sporting Events: Displaying sponsor's logo, linking to their homepage.

There are some reasons why people buy a Himalayan salt lamp. However, we can narrow down the reasons for two purposes. The first is because salt lamp has health benefits to offer. This way, people are looking for the place where to buy Himalayan salt lamp. Secondly, it is because salt lamp has a unique look which will be completely different from one lamp to another. Thus, it gives special look no matter it is put. Therefore, people will love to see the lamp, especially when lit with proper lighting. In addition to those reasons, people are actually seeking the best salt lamp for both purposes. If you are seeking one too, please consider some of these locations to get the lamp.
Great Places Where To Buy Himalayan Salt Lamp
The first great place is always online store. The reason is that it has vast numbers of the collection that anyone can access. What you only need to do is picking up the most appropriate Himalayan salt lamp which is suitable with the criteria that you have set. However, it is not a one-day job because there are so many things that you need to do in terms of research about the salt lamp. Amazon is one place where to buy Himalayan salt lamp, and you can find the HSL in other online shops as well.
The next important location where to get Himalayan salt lamp is obviously specialized lamp store. You can find that in your city, village, or whatever you are living in. some people really sell that stuffs on-ground and there are many prospective buyers ready for purchasing those lamps. This is another good place where to buy Himalayan salt lamp because you can inspect the lamp by yourself. However, you need to spare some time to reach those places. Sometimes, this can be an interesting trip sometimes it is not.

A data-based who's who of the 40th Ryder Cup 2014, including player rankings, tournament experience and rankings-based match predictions.
For only the second time in Scotland, the 2014 Ryder Cup tees off at Gleneagles today. The figures below give a visual overview of the teams and players involved, based on official world golf rankings data and player experience.
Rankings and Ryder Cup Experience
The figure above: a look at rankings and experience on each side of the Atlantic. Players are listed down the page in their official world ranking position, with Rory Mcilroy top of the pile and Lee Westwood down at the bottom (44th in the world). Players are then ordered by rank within their team, from left to right, to show how the two teams square up face-to-face. Experience is shown by the squares, with 1 square for each Ryder Cup the player has taken part in.
At the top end Europe's big guns win out, but lower down the field USA dominates, winning 8 of the 12 virtual head-to-heads. Hence, on rankings alone USA should win the tournament (leaving pairing selection to one side).
While Europe lose out on rankings, they win on experience. Largely thanks to the inclusion of Lee Westwood, down at the bottom of the rankings. For USA, Mickelson and Furyk seem the lynch pins, holding 58% of the team's total Ryder Cup experience between them. Each team has 3 debutants.
Ranking Points Emphasise Importance of Mid-field battle
The world rankings are based on points – average points won per tournament, in tournaments over the last 2 years. A look at these points gives some more insight into the expected spread across the field.
In points, Rory Mcilroy is way out ahead at rank 1. Points then drop away steeply over the first 8 ranking places. Further down the ranking table, differences in points per ranking place are much smaller – there is less margin between players further down the table.
As a more representative measure of expected performance, the shape of this curve supports the idea that the performance of the lower ranked players on the day, will have bigger influence on the overall result. So while everyone is following the high-profilers around the course, keep a keen eye on the lesser-known faces, particularly the debutants, as these could be the key battles to swing it.
Match Expectations
Partnership selections are an interesting subject, with many relevant factors. Leaving these partnership factors aside, we can take a very simplistic look at who should win the matches, based on just the rankings, and this is done above.
For each match the colour of the solid bar shows the expected result, with the bar's width effectively showing how likely it is to happen (wider bar has bigger difference in rankings and hence is more certain).
Europe seem to have taken a different strategy to USA. Europe's pairings are generally of very similar rank (e.g. 1-2, 3-4, 10-11), where as USA's are more split. Europe are playing all 4 of their best players in the first 4 matches, where USA are saving 2 of theirs. All 24 players get a match on the first day.
The rankings say it'll be 4-4 at the end of the first day, but at this level, golf is a game of small margins. The difference in average shots per round this year between the best and worst players taking part is just under 2 shots (Mcilory, Rank 1, 68.8 shots, Westwood, Rank 44, 70.7 shots, pgatour.com).
Will the rankings tell the tale? Either way, I can't wait to find out.

A Lucas County Juvenile Court judge will determine Wednesday if a 16-year-old accused of fatally shooting a young woman and injuring another girl will be tried as an adult.
Emanuel Garner, 16, appeared Tuesday before Judge Denise Navarre Cubbon for a probable cause hearing for charges of murder and felonious assault.
He is accused of shooting and killing De'Asia Wallace and injuring Tanaysia Young following a large street fight in the 1800 block of MaComber Street Sept. 24, according to Toledo police.
If convicted of murder, the teenager could face 15 years to life in prison.
Prosecutors requested the teen be tried as an adult, while the youth's attorney, Ann Baronas, said the investigation has not been completed.
The Young and Garner youths were each shot in the leg, investigators said. Miss Wallace suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest, according to a Lucas County Coroner's Office preliminary report.
A witness told investigators a group of youths began fighting in the area on Sept. 23. The fight spilled into the next day, but with different people.
Lori Olender, deputy chief of the county prosecutor's juvenile division, played a segmented portion of a video from the incident. It began with multiple people gathering in the intersection of MaComber and Isherwood streets. Several teenage girls began taking swings at each other and pulling each others' hair, the video shows.
The crowd moves down the street, and the person behind the camera follows. According to Toledo Police Detective Paul Marchyok, several members in attendance went up a hill, in front of a home, which sits back about 150 feet from the street. The video catches a group of youths, including the Garner teen, walking to the home.
While no shooting is captured on the video that was played in the courtroom, several gunshots can be heard.
The detective testified Tuesday that shots fired near the porch area of the home came from a 9mm handgun, the same type of bullet retrieved from Miss Wallace's body, he said.
A second shooter, who has yet to be identified by witnesses, was also allegedly shooting toward the home, said Detective Marchyok. That person was standing in the yard and was shooting with a .38 or .357 revolver, he said. One of those rounds struck the Garner youth.
The Garner teen later took himself to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center for treatment, while the two females were treated at ProMedica Toledo Hospital, a closer location to the shooting incident, said Detective Marchyok.
Detective Marchyok said he has interviewed 14 people from the incident.
The Garner youth is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The global oil storage market has become a key economic as well as political concern in recent years due to the dynamic nature of the global oil and gas industry. The consistent flux in the petroleum sector, brought about by the introduction of advanced technology and the rising incorporation of alternative energy sources in the global energy framework, is likely to enable steady growth of the global oil storage market in the coming years. According to Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global oil storage market is expected to reach a total volume of 2,027 million cubic meter by the end of 2024.
What are the leading segments of the global oil storage market?
The global oil storage market is segmented on the basis of reserve type into strategic and commercial oil storage facilities. Due to the key role played by petroleum in national security applications and the constant need for petroleum in case of military operations, strategic reserves are likely to account for the leading share in the global oil storage market. The segment accounts for close to 80% of the global oil storage market and, despite the steady growth expected of the commercial oil storage segment, is expected to retain dominance in the market in the coming years.

The commercial oil storage segment is likely to exhibit steady growth at a robust 7.80% CAGR between 2016 and 2024. The state of flux in the global petroleum sector is likely to drive the adoption of commercial oil storage facilities, enabling steady growth of the segment in the global oil storage market in the coming years.
Which are the key regional markets for oil storage technology and equipment?
Regionally, the global oil storage market is likely to be dominated by the Middle East and Africa in the coming years, as the region counts as the leading producer of oil and is thus likely to be a significant mover in the global oil storage market in the coming years. The concentration of OPEC members in the Middle East is a key factor likely to drive the demand from the region's oil storage market.
In May 2017, Equatorial Guinea announced its collaboration with Saudi Arabia in building the largest oil storage facility in West Africa. The facility, which will be the third largest in the continent, signals the rising prominence of Africa in the global oil storage market as well as the wider petroleum sector. The rising investment in offshore petroleum reservoirs off West Africa is further likely to drive the oil storage market in West Africa. Due to the growing economic and political ties between countries in the Middle East and Africa, this region is likely to play a large role in determining the trajectory of the global oil storage market in the coming years.
North America and Asia Pacific are also likely to feature prominently in the growth of the global oil storage market in the near future. The oil storage market in North America has been driven by the rising public and private investment in shale gas, whereas the booming offshore petroleum sector in Southeast Asian countries such as China, Singapore, and South Korea is likely to benefit the oil storage market in Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific oil storage market is expected to exhibit a sturdy CAGR of 8.22% from 2016 to 2024.

Conference Paper: Geology and Hydrothermal Alteration of the Raft River Geothermal System, Idaho
AbstractThe Raft River geothermal system is located in southern Idaho, near the Utah-Idaho state boarder in the Raft River Valley. The field, which is owned and operated by U.S. Geothermal, has been selected as an EGS demonstration site by the U. S. Department of Energy. This paper summarizes ongoing geologic and petrologic investigations being conducted in support of this project. The reservoir is developed in fractured Proterozoic schist and quartzite, and Archean quartz monzonite cut by younger diabase intrusions. The basement complex was deformed during the mid Tertiary and covered by approximately 5000 ft of late Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic deposits. Listric normal faults of Cenozoic age disrupt the Tertiary deposits but do not offset the basement rocks. RRG-9, the target well, was drilled southwest of the main well field to a measured depth (MD) of 6089 ft. The well is deviated to the west and cased to a depth of 2316 ft MD. It penetrated the Proterozoic reservoir rocks at a depth of 5286 ft MD and encountered a maximum temperature of 139 degrees C. Bottomhole temperatures in other deep wells range from 133 to 149 degrees C. X-ray diffraction and thin section analyses are being conducted on samples from 5 deep wells, RRG- 1, 2, 3, 7 and 9, to determine the characteristics of the rock types and hydrothermal alteration within the geothermal system. Thin section analyses of samples from RRG-9 document the presence of strong alteration and brecciation at the contact between the Tertiary and basement complex. The Tertiary rocks consist of ash-flow tuffs, lava flows, tuffaceous siltstone, greywacke, and sandstone. No core is available from RRG-9 but core was obtained from RRG-3C. The sample is a brecciated and altered siltstone from the base of the Tertiary sequence and is similar to rocks at the base of the Tertiary deposits in RRG-9. The results of thermal and quasi-static mechanical property measurements that were conducted on the core sample are presented.

Details here: http://art-crime.blogspot.it/2016/02/one-killed-one-injured-at.html
Since that was posted, a second guard has died of his injuries. The dead guard mentioned here was a long-term employee of the Belgian Mission, who are hoping to crowd-fund support for his family: http://art-crime.blogspot.it/2016/02/sentry-guard-killed-at-deir-el-bersha.html. The government has also offered compensation of EGP10,000 – http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/9/40/188172/Heritage/Ancient-Egypt/Compensation-for-employees-killed,-injured-at–Egy.aspx.
The site of Deir el-Bersha in Middle Egypt has been known since ancient times for its limestone quarries, and for the tombs of its Middle Kingdom nomarchs. The site's necropolis is located at the entrance of Wadi Deir el-Nakhla, in a remote area east of the Nile that is not easy to get to: see a video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljxed9Rkh1Y . It's not a place people visit unless they intend to. Given the fragility of the site and previous issues of looting, the area is closed to the general public and open only with special authorisation. The tombs at Deir el-Bersha were attacked only in May last year: precious, valuable paintings were hacked from the walls and the site magazines raided, as reported by Monica Hanna here: https://twitter.com/monznomad/status/597860115555942400. The tomb of the nomarch Djehutihotep with its 12th Dynasty wall-paintings has long been a target.
So the danger was known. There was some security there, but leaving unarmed ghaffirs to defend valuable antiquities against armed thugs is asking too much. They are not paid enough to risk their lives, even for the site they love. We all know that the police have been reluctant to assist in the guarding of sites any time since 2011, and we also know the sheer volume of looting that has followed that neglect, described by Sarah Parcak here http://www.livescience.com/53752-egypt-looting-satellite-archaeology.html. The only thing that will save Egypt is the police discovering a sense of duty to the nation sometime before everything disappears . . .

By Mahala Titterton
From silent eyes and chilling cold
Stares that linger in the mind
We were not there – we only heard
From voices echoing a cruel find
Hearts and hands were worthless made
In shadows deep and deadly trait
Cruelty beyond belief was there
Beyond the tracks and deceitful gate
Yet man has learned – surely so
The way of looking for a beam
Of light to follow to make dull
The dark past and begin to dream
Of future ways to reconcile men
In kindness and equality each call
Can aim to strive for peace,
For love, for ever, for all.
Mahala Titterton is 72 years old and lives in Derbyshire.
"I am 72 years old and I have visited The Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam. I have a penfriend who lives near Amsterdam. I have regular news letters from the Museum and will never forget my visit. I lead the church choir in my village and love music. I volunteer at the local primary school where I am a Governor. We must never forget how lucky we are to enjoy the freedom we have today due to the struggles and bravery of those who died. There is such cruelty in the world even now but we must show our resolve and always, always remember."

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are some of the brightest, most dramatic events in the Universe. These cosmic tempests are characterized by a spectacular explosion of photons with energies 1,000,000 times greater than the most energetic light our eyes can detect. Due to their explosive power, long-lasting GRBs are predicted to have catastrophic consequences for life […]
If too close to an environment harboring complex life, a gamma ray burst could spell doom for that life. But could GRBs be the reason we haven't yet found evidence of other civilizations in the cosmos? To help answer the big question of "where is everybody?" physicists from Spain and Israel have narrowed the time […]
Following the late night news yesterday of a possible gamma ray burst in our next door neighboring galaxy Andromeda, it was an "Oh darn!" moment this morning to find out the big event was likely a false alarm. The false alert — and the ensuing false excitement — was due to an unlikely combination of […]
Update (5/28/14 9:20 am EDT): This alert may have been a false alarm. Further analysis showed the initial brightness was overestimated by a factor of 300. An official circular from the Swift-XRT team says "therefore do not believe this source to be in outburst. Instead, it was a serendipitous constant source in the field of […]

Polycom teams with IBM in consumer videoconference
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Polycom Inc said it will work with IBM to introduce videoconferencing services aimed at consumers, competing with Skype and a yet-to-be announced product from Cisco Systems Inc.
The two companies plan to unveil a high-definition video conferencing product later this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Polycom said on Monday.
The product will enable video chats with multiple participants over high-speed Internet, Polycom said, although it did not disclose a price or sales date.
IBM said the demonstration at CES was part of its vision of a futuristic home and that it has no plans to sell consumer videoconferencing products under its own brand name. Polycom and IBM are partners in corporate videoconferencing products.
Any new push into consumer services would likely meet stiff competition from Skype, as well as other entrants. Top network equipment maker Cisco also plans to offer a consumer version of its high-end corporate videoconferencing product, TelePresence, sometime soon.
The rivalry in online video communications has intensified, with Cisco buying Norway's Tandberg, the world's leading videoconferencing provider.
Polycom shares rose 2.44 percent to close at $25.58, while IBM shares ended 1.2 percent higher at $132.45. (Reporting by Ritsuko Ando; Editing by Derek Caney and Matthew Lewis)

Peter S. Beagle does not do sequels. He says. He is also one of the two fantasy writers I know who quite blithely admits that his universe-building is more than a little haphazard, just enough to hang the story on.
So of course he wrote a group of stories set in the universe of The Innkeeper's Song.
The stories are not about the place, although the place is very much a part of them. The only characters who reappear are Lal and Soukyan (who was Nyateneri for most of Innkeeper's Song). It's really a journey through the world, and in several cases, "The Magician of Karakosk," "Chousi-Wai's Story," and the title story, into the . . . well, call it "legendry," although it could be history.
There are threads that run through all these stories that are not about the place at all. Most of the stories have an element of redemption through atonement, particularly "The Last Song of Sirit Bayar" and "Lal and Soukyan." Both stories center on journeys, and in both cases the journey is to right an old wrong. The bard Sirit Bayar seeks to heal the woman who bore his child, now married to someone else and fearsome in her madness: she lost the child and its father, and now inhabits a dark world of her own. Lal and Soukyan travel to make right something that Soukyan claims haunts him, although it happened many years ago: they shamed a prison guard in front of his son during an escape. When they arrive at their destination, the guard has died long since, his son has moved away, and no one remembers the escape. They have, however, rescued Riaan, a peasant boy, from his brutish overlord, little more than a peasant himself, and in spite of themselves reunited him with his father, whom he never knew.
Both of these stories play on another common element, transformation. In "Sirit Bayar," the bard's last song has the power to transform the madwoman, Jailly Doura, into the woman she would have been. In "Lal and Soukyan," Riaan's father is a ghost — he is long dead. In "The Magician of Karakosk," the evil queen is undone through a transformation she herself undertakes to rid herself of the humble magician whom she forced into teaching her his spells. He's humble, but not naïve, and if she had no patience for the ethics of magic – well, there's not much he can do about that, but it turns out to be enough. Transformation is also the chief device of "Choushi-Wai's Story," in which the peasant girl Tai-sharm is rescued from an unwanted marriage to a king by a thief and a magical fish: the fish simply transforms her into a fish herself, and they ride comfortably in a tightly woven basket borne by the thief.
"Giant Bones" is, I think, the most subtle and moving story in the collection. It is a family legend told by a father to a sleepless son who is afraid he will be short all his life (he's nine years old at this point), concerning a several-times-great grandfather, a tinker who decided to move on across the mountains and was saved from a rock-targ by a giant. Grandfather Simsim spends eighteen years with the giants, a thoughtful, gentle people who are dying off one by one. Simsim becomes the only celebrant of the death ritual for the last of the giants to die, which makes her part of him. And so his descendants are from then on taller than normal.
As you can see from my comments about "Lal and Soukyan" and "The Magician of Karakosk," irony plays an important role in Beagle's work. One of the best examples of that in this collection is "The Tragical Historie of the Jiril's Players," related by Dardis, the manager of the company, who has every theatrical manager's dream: a spacious theater, and adequate budget, and devoted audiences. The irony is, quite in spite of himself, he manages to place the company in the position of precipitating a coup by the one agent the Jiril, with his four obstreperous sons and dishrag of a daughter, is not prepared for: the conspirator manages to subvert the Jiril's guard not with wealth or the promise of power, but with decent meals.
As is always the case with Beagle, the most compelling aspect of these stories is the sheer humanity of the characters. Many of them are told in first-person, and the narrators shine through clearly, with all the fits and starts and digressions and wanderings that anyone does in conversation. The stories they tell may seem to be mundane or bizarre, but the concrete reality of the people, from the exasperated invective of Mircha Del, the narrator of "The Last Song of Sirit Bayar" through the professional storyteller Choushi-Wai and the rueful Dardis, makes such questions pretty much irrelevant.
So, the Innkeeper's World is a fascinating place, even if it was put together from bits and pieces as needed. Word is that Beagle is not yet finished with it, or at least not the people who live there: several new stories have been written, and there will probably be more. Not bad from a guy who doesn't do sequels.

What makes Netflix special?
Today, Netflix has more than 80 million active devices," Ronca began. "We're on phones, tablets, game consoles, smart TVs. Pretty much, if you buy a connected device, it's going to have Netflix on it. Certainly, if you're going to buy any Blu-ray Player, any connected TV anything in a store, it's a given that it's going to have Netflix. In fact, Netflix is even starting to show up on remotes.

Thank you for your interest in Hetton School. The school has a well-founded reputation and a long history with its predecessor school opening in 1912. We are part of a caring community and a school that supports and guides students well with their personal development and well-being. There is a high level of satisfaction from parents. The opportunities for extra-curricular activities are vast.
Ofsted October 2013
This is a good school. A good school is effective in delivering outcomes that provide well for all its pupils' needs. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education, training or employment.
The achievement of pupils is good.
• Students' academic achievement is good. Previous underachievement has been tackled extremely well.
• The proportion of students who gain five GCSE A* to C grades, including English and mathematics, is rising and has been above average for the past three years.
• The percentage of students gaining five or more passes at GCSEs at grades A* to C has risen steadily and has been above that found nationally for the past three years.
• The vast majority of students in all year groups make good progress – students enter Year 7 with broadly average attainment and they leave at the end of Year 11 with standards that are above average on several indicators.
• In all year groups, most students' progress relative to their starting points is good – this includes students who are disabled or have special educational needs, students who are eligible for the pupil premium and also the most able students.
• There are many subjects that have shown sustained and rapid improvement and progress for all groups of students last year was good.
• Addressing any underachievement early has ensured that students who are eligible for the pupil premium funding achieve increasingly well – the progress from their starting points is good.
• The progress of the most able students and students who are disabled or have special educational needs is good in most subjects.
• Students who attend the school's specially resourced language provision make good progress.
• The school has a very close focus on improving literacy.
• Basic skills of literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology are integrated increasingly well into many subjects.
• The vast majority of parents felt that progress is good.
The quality of teaching is good.
• The quality of teaching is good overall and outstanding in some lessons.
• The quality of teaching has improved significantly, through well focused staff development.
• Teachers have high expectations and adapt the work well for the different abilities of their students.
• Teachers engage their students well with a series of tasks that makes them think deeply and learn well.
• Teachers ensure that the students get down to independent work as quickly as possible, reinforce literacy and numeracy skills and give students clear criteria for success.
• Students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is promoted well in many lessons.
• Teachers generally mark students' work thoroughly
• Most parents felt that their children were well taught.
The behaviour and safety of pupils are good
• Students enjoy school, feel safe and behave well.
• The inspectors found the students to be very polite and courteous.
• Students told the inspectors that the behaviour of most students is good and has been for some time, especially since the arrival of the headteacher.
• Students are very keen to be involved in their own learning and they work very well together in groups.
• Students say that there is hardly any bullying and any that does occur is dealt with swiftly and that there is always a peer mentor or an adult they can turn to.
• Students describe their school as very safe.
• The school has increased attendance to be in line with that found nationally.
• Most parents agreed that the school helps their children to behave well and almost all staff agreed that students' behaviour is good.
The leadership and management are good
• The headteacher is a very effective leader.
• Significant improvements have occurred in students' progress, behaviour and in the quality of teaching.
• Leaders have successfully improved learning by regularly observing the quality of teaching in lessons and by providing staff with training.
• Systems for checking how well students are achieving are extremely thorough – any student who is in danger of underachieving is identified early and helped to catch up well.
• Gaps between the performances of different groups of students are closing rapidly – this reflects the inclusiveness of the school and its intolerance of discrimination.
• The curriculum has been skilfully adapted to the needs and interests of the students and this has helped to widen the range of subjects in which the students do well.
• There is a wide array of clubs and visits, and the students told the inspectors how much they value the opportunity to visit cities such as Madrid and New York.
• The promotion of spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is particularly strong.
• The governing body works very closely with the school – it holds the school to account increasingly well for the performance of its students.
New Build
Hetton School was one of the 261 schools nationally who were successful in being part of the new Priority Schools Building Programme. We moved into our amazing new facilities in September 2016 and we are delighted with the building as it allows students to flourish in an attractive and safe environment.
