Over the past few decades, sea ice retreat during summer has been enhanced in the Pacific sector of the Arctic basin, likely due in part to increasing summertime heat flux of Pacific-origin water from the Bering Strait. Barrow Canyon, in the northeast Chukchi Sea, is a major conduit through which the Pacific-origin water enters the Arctic basin. This paper presents results from 6 repeat high-resolution shipboard hydrographic/velocity sections occupied across Barrow Canyon in summer 2010. The different Pacific water masses feeding the canyon – Alaskan coastal water (ACW), summer Bering Sea water (BSW), and Pacific winter water (PWW) – all displayed significant intra-seasonal variability. Net volume transports through the canyon were between 0.96 and 1.70 Sv poleward, consisting of 0.41–0.98 Sv of warm Pacific water (ACW and BSW) and 0.28–0.65 Sv of PWW. The poleward heat flux also varied strongly, ranging from 8.56 TW to 24.56 TW, mainly due to the change in temperature of the warm Pacific water. Using supplemental mooring data from the core of the warm water, along with wind data from the Pt. Barrow weather station, we derive and assess a proxy for estimating heat flux in the canyon for the summer time period, which is when most of the heat passes northward towards the basin. The average heat flux for 2010 was estimated to be 3.34 TW, which is as large as the previous record maximum in 2007. This amount of heat could melt 315,000 km2 of 1-meter thick ice, which likely contributed to significant summer sea ice retreat in the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean.

Exercises for a narrow waist and a beautiful belly
A rare woman does not dream of anything to improve in his own shape. But if you make the legs for a couple of inches longer only the operating means, slim waist, slender thighs and tight press are the result of hard training. Perform exercises better every day.

The daily routine of a soldier – How to survive in the army.
The duration of work time military conscription, is determined by the daily routine of a military unit.
In the army, too, as in the sanatorium, there is such a thing as a "routine". I hope it will not cause you surprise.
The load is distributed to the soldiers so that in the first place was ensured constant combat readiness. That is, everything is done so that you
can enter into fight well fed, rested and trained. And because you should have time for combat training, maintain order, and practice-building disciplines, to nurture the military spirit, increasing their cultural level, to solve everyday problems (I mean patching holes in boots and uniforms, cutting, stitching of collars and many other things), good rest and eating.

Vacations are those wonderful days of pure bliss that you spend with your family and friends, away from the stressful demands of day to day life. What makes a vacation perfect is the lodging facility. A simple weekend gateway can also become memorable by booking the right type of guest house.
Before the digital boom, people used to pull out the guest house listings of their intended destination, make a call to the front desk and book their stay. But digitalization of our world has impacted the way we book B&Bs and guest houses. Instead of the offline method, people today prefer to make guest house booking online.
But even in the online world, there are more than one options that you can use to book a room for your stay.
Guest House's Website
Most guest houses today have their own website. These websites carry information about the types of rooms available and their tariff. You can also find more information about the other services available at the guest house like wifi, dining area, salon etc. You can also find out about pet policies and cancellation and refund policies of the guest house.
Since this website is owned and managed by the guest house itself, the status of rooms available is updated. You can select your check in and check out dates, find out which rooms are available, and then book your stay.
Aggregator Websites
An aggregator website is the one that aggregates booking status and tariff from multiple guest houses and presents it to the customer. This gives you an opportunity to compare the tariffs of the same type of room at different guest houses. This can be a great way to identify any hidden charges. Since the aggregator is collecting occupancy data from the guest houses directly the availability status is fairly updated. However, the aggregator may be charging a little bit extra as commission for giving you the opportunity to compare and then book.
Digital Travel Marketplaces
The digital travel marketplace is a fairly new concept where an entity offers all types of travel services needed through a digital platform. You can book a cab, a plane ticket, a bus or a train ride, and book guest houses from the same platform. Here the occupancy status may not be updated on real time basis for the guest house but you can book additional services as well.

New stretch target
A massive thank you to those of you who have pledged and got us this far. Any money on top of the £3500 raised for the art installation will go towards continuing Jeanne's work to maintain the park (such as replacing the notice board), as well as get a source of electricity into the park for future events. If you are reading this, could you help us get to £4000? Thank You :-)
Our plan is to create an engaging art installation within Moor View Park, in order to preserve and grow its identity as an important space, for celebrating the differences and similarities that exist between us, in our local community. In this spirit, abilities and talents from local groups/individuals will work together to create the installation. Such work will look to inspire future development in Moor View Park, to improve its function as a community, outdoor events space.
Moor View Park has already seen many great community events that have brought togther individuals from all walks of life.
On the mound at the southern end of this small but charming park, we look to install a welcoming bench and pebble mosaic circle, with smaller pebble mosaic stepping stones leading up to this. The latter will replace the worn/lost wooden stepping-stones already in this location. The design for this draws upon experiences from a previous, fun arts project we ran, with the support of Vital Sparks, to question what community means in Plymouth.
Moor View Park (Pink/Red marker) is located on Moor View Terrace on the east side of Mutley Plain. Map courtesy of Google Maps.
An aeril view of the plan for our installation on the mound at the southern end of the park. Designed and coordianted by Sarah Jane Hodge.
Everyone's interpretation of the installation will, and should be different and meaningful to them. Our own thoughts however gathered from our recent arts project, include the different pebbles set within the mosaics representing the variety of individuals living, and/or working in the Mutely area. Their coming together as stepping stones and the larger mosaic, represent the smaller communities of Mutley that can, and do link up to build bridges and feel part of something bigger. The design also showcases the efforts and thoughts of the late Jeanne Hinton, a much beloved local community activist, who was key in Moor View Park's renovation in the late 2000s, and the setting up of a Friend's group for the park (now called Mutley Matters). In particular, the pebble stepping stones signify her own journey in exploring the meaning of community to her and others. It is her poem about living in Mutley, which will take centre stage in the feature.
Jeanne was heavily engaged in the local community and a key driver behind Moor View Park's most recent rennovation.
The bench and mosaics will memorialise Jeanne Hinton. It will act as a brilliant reminder of the park's ability to create and enhance community, as it has already done so through the efforts of Jeanne and the Mutley Matters' group. In today's fast paced lifestyle and online communication methods, outdoor spaces where individuals can take a breath from modern day living in, and gain value from face-to-face interaction, are more crucial than ever. Indeed, the creation of this installation will itself, encourage this more personal level of interaction.
The project is being steered by the Mutley Matters group, whose two key aims are to create a sense of community within the Mutley area, and help Plymouth City Council look after Moor View Park. We are pleased to have the potential of re-engaging with some individuals/groups from our original arts project, such as local artist Sarah Jane Hodge (who is overseeing the design and construction of the installation) and the Freedom Youth Project. Sarah will be working with the local charity Land Works, to create the bench. We are also grateful to have the continuing support of Vital Sparks, but to take this project beyond being a plan, we'll need your help.
Vital Sparks is a "city-wide initiative designed to inspire arts, culture and creativity in Plymouth."
We kindly ask for your donations, either in the form of a sum or your choice, or by putting yourself down for one of our many rewards on offer, including some art pieces of Jeanne Hinton's own hand. You'll be helping us to reach our target of £3500 and help make our vision for Moor View park a reality. Should we raise the money required, it will be used as follows:
£315 – Materials for the mosaic and smaller stepping-stones.
£500 – A bronze plague to be laid in the mosaic, with a poem written by Jeanne Hinton about Mutley, inscribed on it.
£1000 – A bench to be constructed in partnership with Landworks, a work-based training scheme providing a supported route back into the community for current and ex-prisoners.
£875 – Workshops to be run by Sarah Jane Hodge engaging a number of local individuals and groups in creating the stepping stones for the feature.
£200 – Community open event to be held in September/October 2017.
£325 – Contingency Fund
£285 – Crowdfunder/Credit Card Fees
Thank you in advance for your support.

AMRAP 20 minutes:
30 Double unders
5 Strict pull up
5 Ring dip
Then, 10 minutes to establish 1RM Deadlift
*Compare results to 7/25/2017
We are excited to announce that we are adding yet another class to our schedule – a 3:00pm WHLF Class Monday through Thursday! We are PUMPED to be providing another class time for our community to come in and workout at Industrious!!
1) What (who) brought you to Industrious?
I wanted to try CrossFit and I found Industrious online. I planned on checking out a few different gyms before choosing where to go. But I met Steve-O and he showed me around and that was all I needed. That was about 5 years ago and I am still happy about that decision.
2) What is the most significant change you have experienced since you have been here?
- I finally got a little bit smarter about taking days off and resting when my body needs it. For about a year I was so excited that I wanted to do every workout and hated to miss a day. Stephen suggested taking a couple days off each week and he was right. I feel better and perform better when with the extra rest.
- Mobility. When I first started I struggled to overhead squat with a stick or empty bar. There is still room for improvement but now I can usually do the overhead squats when they come up in a workout.
3) What is your favorite thing about Industrious?
It's tough to pick one thing. The coaches are great. They always have a tip or suggestion to fix whatever needs to be corrected. And I have made a lot of friends that I love to workout with. It's awesome to have buddies to joke around and compete with.
4) What are your goals or aspirations for this year?
Keep improving mobility, keep getting stronger, avoid injuries, and do things the right way.
5) Share one thing we do NOT know about you!
I am a big Cleveland Browns fan. But since most people I've met already know that, 2 of my favorite exercises are strict pullups and the bike.

A customer stopped by my business to get an appointment for replacing his windshield. He said he was taking care of some things because he had taken the day from work. He spoke with a slur and looked a bit rugged. I asked him what had happened to him, and he replied that he had had wisdom teeth pulled that morning. I told him that I could empathize with him because I had gone through the same thing.
A few years ago, I had a very painful toothache for several weeks. I finally made an appointment and went to the dentist. After taking x-rays, my dentist told me that second molar on the lower left was in bad shape. One of the reasons that it had deteriorated was because it was up against my wisdom tooth. He recommended that I have both teeth pulled. I was in a lot of pain, so he made time to pull the teeth the very next day.
Having the teeth pulled was quite an ordeal. The wisdom tooth was laying sideways, and the root had a hook that was in the bone. The procedure wasn't that painful, but the pulling, pushing, cutting, tugging and prying made it very uncomfortable. When the anesthetic wore off, I was in a lot of pain.
While I was at home nursing a very sore mouth, I started wondering why the third molars are called wisdom teeth. I found out that they are called wisdom teeth because they usually come in when a person is between the ages of 17 and 21. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term wisdom tooth is used because they appear so late – much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are presumably "wiser" than as a child when the other teeth come in. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars, and come in when a person is old enough to have supposedly gained some "wisdom."
Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often they are misaligned and cause trouble. Wisdom teeth have been known to cause dental issues for centuries. In the 4th century BC, Aristotle wrote about wisdom teeth "causing great pain in their coming."
I found the explanation of the term "wisdom teeth" to be somewhat amusing. 17 to 21-year-olds aren't the first age group that I think of when I think of wisdom. Wisdom comes with experience. The Oxford English Dictionary definition of wisdom is " the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment."
Often we aren't sure of the difference between wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. There is some overlapping of the definitions. Wisdom is knowledge with understanding. Anyone can get knowledge, but understanding is another thing. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:13 (NIRV), "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom. Blessed is the one who gains understanding."
Intelligence or knowledge or even understanding isn't necessarily wisdom. Wisdom is using knowledge, understanding, and intelligence in a common sense way, making choices that are beneficial and productive. You can get knowledge out of a textbook, but not wisdom. Experience is valuable in gaining wisdom.
I crave knowledge. I am curious about so many different things and want to learn about them. It is interesting to me to see all the different "facts" that you can find on a given topic. Sorting through the "facts" can make understanding an almost impossible task. But according to the Bible, there is a way to obtain wisdom.
In Proverbs 9:10 (CEV) we read, "Respect and obey the Lord! This is the beginning of wisdom. To have understanding, you must know the Holy God. True wisdom comes from God." According to a quote that has been attributed to Cicero, a Roman statesman and philosopher, "the function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil." Cicero is widely considered to be one of Rome's greatest orators. I think he had a good grasp on the meaning of wisdom. Wisdom begins with reverence for God, and respect for Him and His Word, The Bible. Where there is no respect of God, there can never be any true wisdom. Earthly knowledge isn't the same as the wisdom that comes from God.
1 Corinthians 1:19-20 (NLT) tells us "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent. So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world's brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish."
Gentle Reader, I want to make sure that in my quest for knowledge, I look to God for understanding and wisdom. He has promised to give us wisdom if we ask for it. James 1:5 (NKJV) tells us that, "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Won't you ask God for wisdom today – and every day? He has promised to give it to you.

Trees and shops line this famous Catalonian strip, while street performers in incredible make up and outfits stand as still as statues, much to the amazement of passersby. The stores on Las Rambla range from candy shops to clothing boutiques, from gelato stands to tourist souvenir kiosks. Las Rambla provides hours of fun, tons of shopping, incredible food, and a beautiful sample of all that Barcelona has to offer. But always be mindful as a tourist, especially in this area where other tourists are known to gather, so therefore, more prone to pickpockets and undesired accidents.
Gaudi Architecture
Barcelona is famous for its public art and architecture, created and then inspired, by Antoni Gaudi. Some of the most popular sites in Barcelona, and the world, include La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and Casa Mila. For many, these sites are must-see's, and the tickets are rather cheap. However, that also means that La Sagrada Familia has a 5-hour wait, before the basilica even opens, so best to be prepared!
Gothic Quarter
While on the subject of architecture, Barcelona does not only boast modernist buildings. The Roman-built walls of the old city still stand! Throughout the city, much of the medieval architecture still remains as well, as is most notably found in The Gothic Quarter.
La Boqueria
A foodie's MUST DO while in Barcelona, La Boqueria is a gigantic food market. Stand after stand of delicious food prepared upon order that stretches as far as the eye can see. Almost any food imaginable, and loads of delicious Spanish food like empanadas, churros, and paella, can be found at La Boqueria, located right at the end of Las Ramblas.
Pro-Tip: the easiest mode of transportation in the city is by way of the Metro. It runs to many of the major tourist spots, and is easy to access, easy to understand, and cheap! Plus, the stations are well kept, quite clean and full of interesting information for tourists.
Things to be Mindful of in Barcelona, Spain
- During the afternoon, Spaniards partake in a ''siesta," which is a nap that normally takes place after a midday meal. During this time, it is best to expect most shops, restaurants, and other services to be closed. Because of the siesta, dinner normally occurs later in the evening than in many other cultures may be accustomed to. And because of this, Barcelona is awake into the wee hours of the night, too, far later than many of us are probably used to. Might be why the city is known for its nightlife, too!
- The stunning street performers on Las Ramblas may be stunning to look at, and naturally you will want to take pictures. However, these street performers make their income from tourists taking photos with them. Do not snap a shot unless you intend to tip them!
- Vegetarians may have a hard time finding completely vegetarian dishes in Barcelona. While a dish may be advertised as such, it may still contain chicken or ham in it, much to your dismay upon consumption. Barcelona is a very seafood heavy city so make sure to find options beforehand if need be.
Barcelona is a must-city, unlike anywhere else in the world, and in Spain for that matter. Amid plates of paella, glasses of sangria, and the medieval walls of the city, there is something for everyone to love while traveling here! Disfrute! (…which means 'enjoy' in Spanish).
Have you ever been to Barcelona? What were your favorite sites when visiting? Let us know in the comments below.

There were plenty of fishing tales being told last week at the Bassmasters Elite at Lake Martin.
South Carolina angler Andy Montgomery had an unusual run of tournament marshals in his boat over the weekend.
On Thursday, he had a man who is a funeral home owner and Friday his marshal is a coroner.
"If I had come out here Saturday and the marshal would have told me they were a florist, I wasn't going," Montgomery said.
Montgomery, a Clemson Tigers fan, said he started out his day finding out his marshal's favorite team – Auburn or Alabama.
"I wanted to make sure I didn't say something that might get me killed right off the bat," Montgomery said.
Good and lucky
While fishing Saturday's semifinal round of the Bassmaster Elite presented by Econo Lodge, champion Takahiro Omori caught a bass that had two lures in its mouth. One was a chartreuse plug that Omori had lost Friday on an underwater tree branch, and the other was the red bait he fished with most of the day Saturday.
In 287 events with B.A.S.S., Omori said he's never had anything like that happen before. But it was a charmed tournament for the Japanese-born Texas resident.
"That crankbait is just a once-in-a-lifetime story," Omori said. "I think maybe what happened is that it got hung up and the fish ate it before. Then it ate the other bait today. I have never had anything like that happen before and probably never will again."
Omori was the runaway winner of the tournament.
Baby watch
Kalamazoo, Michigan, pro Jonathon VanDam had an anxious week as he and his wife, Arika, are expecting their first child at any time. VanDam said the baby was due last Wednesday.
But the two made the decision for him to fish in the first Bassmaster Elite Tournament of the year and hope for the best.
"We had a plan in place in case she went into labor while I was gone, but luckily we didn't have to use it," VanDam said. "It has been one of the most stressful weeks I've been through, just out there trying to fish and halfway waiting for the phone to ring. We made it through the week, fished on Sunday and got a pretty nice paycheck. But now I'm ready to get home and be there with her."
VanDam made the cut, fished Saturday and Sunday and completed the tournament with 47 pounds, 9 ounces; good enough for ninth place and $12,000.
As soon as he was offstage, VanDam hit the road for the 790-mile journey home.
No local luck
It wasn't a great week for competitors with ties to Lake Martin.
None of the local anglers made the cut or finished in the money.
Steve Kennedy finished 54th with 20 pounds, 10 ounces; Greg Vinson was 67th with a two-day total of 19 pounds, 13 ounces; and Kelley Jaye finished 100th with 15 pounds, 8 ounces.
"I think in my case I was fishing too many memories that first day instead of fishing like I know how to fish with the conditions we had," Vinson said. "I spent a lot of time running and hitting spots where I have had success on Thursday, especially, and that really put me in a hole. But it was good to be home and sleep in my own bed to get the season started."
Some Alabama fishermen did get paid in the tournament.
Guntersville's Justin Lucas was the highest-placing Alabama angler, with 50 pounds, 5 ounces, which was good enough for sixth place and a check of $13,500. Clanton's Dustin Connell finished 12th with 44 pounds, 14 ounces. He took home $10,500 for his four day-effort.

Of course I have to my achievement area:
Top row is bachelors degree, national honor's society certificate, grad picture and then family graduation picture along with the rest of my jewelry collection on the bottom two rows.
So that is my space for now. I really do hope to get a big house and have like an entire basement or perhaps one of those bonus rooms at the top of your house, (actually I think I prefer a bonus room rather than a basement for natural light) to be able to create in and make it my own space. Every time I look in the Where Women Create book or magazine, I just die and fall out of my chair looking at the beautiful spaces that other women have created to work in. Well now you see where this creator works up those beautiful pieces of jewelry and accessories.

Thursday's Uncommitted Thoughts about Something...
Something I know:
If that webby-looking thing dangling from my hair that I see in the corner of my eye is a spider, I know I will compulsively beat myself in the head until either I or the monster is dead. A fight to the death.
Something baffles me:
Why does it take only Saturday and Sunday to gain back everything it took me Monday – Friday to lose? (It's time to readdress weekend activity and refocus, isn't it?)
Something I taste:
If you walk past me and I can taste your cologne, you are wearing $40 worth too much…and that particular scent may not cost $40 to begin with.
Something I (don't want to) see:
If I can see the print of your drawers or your thong (translated "hind end cheeks") through your leotards/way-too-tight tights (that you call "yoga pants"…which would split if you actually attempted yoga) you are not properly dressed for the public. What? You feel body shamed? Please. I feel eye-raped.
Something I cannot understand:
Why have "female parts" become such a thing in the feminist community? How does it make sense to be rude, disrespectful, yell vulgarities, picket, and march demanding, among other things, that women not be viewed as sex objects, while going topless and wearing pink hats representing their under-yonder?
Something I might understand:
I can see how the above behavior could cause misogyny...I'm female, and I'm disgusted by those shenanigans.
Something I question:
Do feminists think with their under-yonder, or with their brain? There are so many better ways to accomplish things. Keep in mind that no matter who you are or what you do, there will be people who strongly disagree with you.
Something irritates me:
Me. I get annoyed with myself when I fight the same battle repeatedly instead of making a firm decision to let it go and sticking with it.
Something for you:
Have a great day. Make good decisions for yourself and know that not only is it okay to love yourself, it's a commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12:31)
|Like what you see?

I'm right with you about those battles. It would be nice just to let them go finally and once and for all.ReplyDelete
Yeah, it would be nice. There are those times when I'm sure I've let it go, but then I find myself back at square one. Thankfully, those square one times come less and further apart as the months and years go by.Delete

Weight gain and decisions! Ugh. I've been irritated all afternoon about decisions that cause weight gain.Delete
Girlfriend, I promise you, I did not say NEAR as much I could have about "yoga" pants. And yep. Offensive people get offended when someone disagrees with them. I'm in too bad a mood to even think about this right now! (I might say some of the things I didn't say earlier.)
About loving/hating oneself: I can see why you say what you do...and I think we've had conversations along these lines before. But I believe anyone who cannot love/like themselves will be fully unable to love others or put them first, nor do I believe they will be able to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. Selfish behavior or pampering the self-esteem doesn't necessarily equate to loving oneself.
The scripture I put out there speaks to me in the way I used it. I didn't go seek that verse out...when I was pretty low (I get that way...not as much as I used to, thankfully) I "happened" to read it. It helped me in a way that I can't explain to you, but God knows what I needed, and that's why He spoke to me what I needed to hear in that verse. We can only judge others' actions based on our own attitudes, biases and experiences. But if you've never experienced a deep down self-loathing, when you see someone who is in that pit, you'll define her based on your own experience, not hers…and you, and most everyone else in her life, will never know the things she does to herself because it's a private pain, and she won't share it with anyone.
Another example of one scripture speaking two different ways to people: Psalm 37:4 - "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." That scripture tells me that if I delight myself in Him, He will put right, good, Godly, desires in my heart. To someone who is seeking a particular thing...a career change, to have a child, a ministry...that scripture may say that God will fulfill the desire that is already there.
Thanks, Deb! I can always count on your for some interesting conversation!
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
Ack. After re-reading your comment, it occurs to me that I may have spoken out of turn--or, at least, was unclear. ( Sometimes I can't get print doesn't accurately convey my thoughts/intent.) So, I deleted. No sense muddying up your post. Sorry about that.Delete
Very good thought: Keep in mind that no matter who you are or what you do, there will be people who strongly disagree with you.ReplyDelete
We're probably going to steal that in a future blog about things...just things.Replies
...and so true, hard to believe not everyone sees things my way! lolDelete

I did. There are 12440 race conditions detected for an incomplete run of 22.locale.numpunct.mt. By incomplete I mean: it did not run with its default nthreads and nloops which I believe are 8 threads and 200000 loop iterations. I presented a *proposal* fix which: 1. keeps your _numpunct.h forwarding patch 2. eliminates 100% of the race conditions I have yet to see a counter-proposal. The only thing i've seen are assertions ("race condition instrumentation and detection tools are wrong"), mischaracterizations ("your patch is evil") and overall just email bullshit. Not a single line of code which would resolve the 12440 race conditions problem. -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V. stefan.tele...@gmail.com

If you hang out with people in the financial sector, you may have heard the word 'InsurTech' being bandied about. You might have heard that $3 billion was invested in InsurTech in 2015 alone and be wondering what on Earth it is, let alone why everybody seems so excited about it.
So, what exactly is InsurTech?
According to Investopedia, "InsurTech" or "Insurtech" is a portmanteau of the words 'insurance' and 'technology'. It refers to the sector of the financial industry that specialises in technological innovation in the insurance industry. The sector studies and implements technology-driven methods to better tailor coverage to clients, more accurately calculate coverage, or streamline or reduce the costs of the provision of such coverage. It uses technology like AIs, automated monitoring of customers and so forth to achieve its aims.
Examples of InsurTech innovations are things like Telematics or Black Box-based insurance, where the driving behaviour of the actual insurance client is monitored and the risk posed by that client accurately assessed. This is now standard at many major insurance companies.
Why is this important?
Well, in simple terms, investing in InsurTech stocks may be a way to make a great deal of money. According to The Business Insider, the insurance industry is ideally placed for innovation, with low levels of customer satisfaction and outdated methodologies. Where there is room for improvement, there is opportunity, and the insurance industry has a great deal of room for improvement.
Furthermore, according to Timo Dreger, MD of Berlin-based Apeiron Investment Group, InsurTech is in the same position now as fintech was a few years ago. You don't need us to tell you about the revolution in financial technology that has happened in recent years. Investing now might be a chance to get in on the ground floor of what is sure to be a major shift.
Related to the financial aspect are the effects on the consumer. InsurTech promises lower premiums (at least for cautious customers) and a slew of gadgets and devices to keep you healthier and safer. The latter is apparent after a moment's thought. Insurance companies lose money when bad things happen to their customers. It's therefore in their interest to incentivise purchases and habits (such as gym memberships or Telematics units in their vehicles) which make them safer and healthier. It really is a win-win.
Or is it?
Standard and Poor has found some shortfalls in the business plans of several InsurTech platforms and cautions that investment in InsurTech start-ups with strong ties to existing insurance providers may be a safer investment bet. Particularly when one considers the existing relationships, expertise, experience and wealth of historical data these providers have access to.
How do I get in on this?
Apart from speaking to your broker or insurance provider, a good starting point would be consulting a list of international conferences on InsurTech, in a variety of locations around the world.
It's a mercurial world out there, and barely a week goes by without some new innovation or technology that threatens to gut an industry, put millions of employees out of work, or solve some problem that we've had for centuries and make our lives a great deal better. There's absolutely no doubt that the fast pace of technology will affect every industry, and there's no reason the insurance sector should be any different. InsurTech is here to stay, and it's only just getting started.

In a bid to get the profession talking on social media ahead of the next general election in May, RIBA is calling on its 35,000-plus UK members to challenge prospective MPs to make the following vow: 'I promise to champion a better built environment for every community in my constituency to #BuildaBetterBritain'.
The campaign is part of the institute's wider calls for 300,000 new homes to be built every year and its manifesto lists six key areas for urgent government attention:
Stephen Hodder, president, RIBA, said: "The built environment is vital to the financial and social success of our communities and country and the health and wellbeing of its inhabitants.
"RIBA's clear priorities for the next Government, set out in the Building a Better Britain report, is the basis for this campaign.
"Now is the time to talk about what that means locally and how every prospective MP can champion the built environment in their area."

Today we read The Carrot Seed. My boys (for some reason all my students are boys :)) love it! I decided to incorporate some science by introducing to them the plant life cycle. The weather is great so it gives us a reason to go outside more often (hope those mosquitoes go away soon!). One of the components for pre-k reading is learning parts of a books. I decided to make them a mini book journal and go over parts of a book this way.
After reading the book I let them choose what seed they wanted to plant. The objective is to watch it grow. Eventually we will incorporate measurement to tie in some math.
We did a picture cut-out for the plant life cycle of an acorn seed. Then we pasted them in their mini books.
When they were done putting their pictures in order they got to paste one of the seeds they chose in the journal portion of their mini books.
We also put some seeds in a baggie with a paper towel and a few mL's of water so we can watch the seeds sprout. We will eventually plant them when they are big enough.
We pasted the baggies on the window so they could get some sunlight. They will have to water their seeds like the little boy did in the book. It will be nice to see them grow.

Reminder – Space Precinct signing in FP Belfast tomorrow!
Gerry Anderson's creations have entertained and delighted generations of kids, both his pioneering Supermarionation puppet shows and his live action sci-fi series, always with fabulous designs (that made oh such equally fabulous toys!). For many of us that love of all things Anderson is still built into us as adults, and for Forbidden Planet Belfast's Connor Flanagan it's now lead to him being a part of that history, as artist on a comics return of Anderson's Space Precinct, along with Jamie Anderson (Gerry's son), Chris Thompson and Andrew Clements. You can read a piece by Chris relating how the comic came into being, and how FP Belfast's own Connor became the artist on it here on the Gerry Anderson site.
Space Precinct Reloaded will be launching in FP Belfast (52-54 Ann St) on Saturday 10th of February from 1 to 3pm, with Connor, Chris and Andrew all on hand to sign copies – sadly Jamie can't be there, but he is pre-signing copies, so if you are there on the day you can still grab a copy signed by all of the creators! It's a square-bound special at £7.99, and likely to be hard to get hold of later on, so if you are in town, do get yourselves down to our Belfast store on the 10th of Feb from 1 to 3pm to get hold of a copy. You can get in touch with FP Belfast and follow their latest news and staff recommendations on their own Facebook page and on their Twitter feed.

Sandra Barrueco, Ph.D.
IPR Fellow
Email: barrueco[at]cua.edu
Phone: (202) 319-5758
Website: http://psychology.cua.edu/faculty/barrueco.cfm
Department: Department of Psychology
An Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology, Dr. Barrueco's main research goals are to improve the prevention of, and early intervention in, developmental and mental health disorders, particularly among young (0-8), at-risk children. Thus, in her research she endeavors to incorporate three foci:
1) to advance the theoretical and research knowledge base pertaining to developmental and clinical processes among language and ethnic minority groups,
2) to improve the early identification of at-risk children and families through advancements in assessment methodology, and
3) to examine and develop interventions that prevent or mitigate developmental psychopathology. Much of her work in these areas has focused on early bilingual, socioemotional, and acculturative processes within the Latino community.
Currently, Dr. Barrueco is engaged in four distinct programs of research:
1) Together with her co-workers, she is collaborating with Head Start programs in NC and FL, in order to implement a language and literacy intervention program (called Even Start) with migrant farmworkers. This study examines: a) the impact of an early prevention/intervention program on the development of migrant preschoolers and families, b) language, literacy, and socioemotional development within migrant families, and c) the appropriateness, strength, and feasibility of several methods of assessing migrant children and parents. This program is supported by funds from the Department of Education.
2) Dr. Barrueco and her co-workers were recently awarded a federal ACF contract to design a national study of migrant and seasonal farm working families engaged in Head Start. The result of this project will be a comprehensive, multi-method research design that can gather data that describes program variations, strengths and gaps in Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services, and the lives of migrant and seasonal families and children served by the programs through observations, interviews, surveys, and direct assessments of children.
3) Using ECLS-B data, they are examining mental health and developmental processes in a nationally-representative sample of young immigrant families surveyed between infancy and school entry.
4) Finally, Dr. Barrueco & co-workers are engaged in a national psychometric analysis of measures used to assess young English language learning children.

"Back to Woodstock" 40 Years Later!- Event photos!
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, Baltimore Art & Music Project held a Woodstock-themed fundraising event at the Hard Yacht Cafe in good 'ol Dundalk! The event was an absolute blast!

Scaramucci Threatens to Call FBI Over Financial 'Leak'
Scaramucci Mane had apparently told Lizza the night before that not revealing his sources was unpatriotic. "This is actually a bad thing", he said ."The fact that you guys know about it before he does really upsets me as a human being and as a Roman Catholic, you got that?" These guys know who the leakers are, I respect them for not telling me because I understand and respect journalistic integrity.

Accra, Ghana, Thursday, March 26, 2015: A total of 465 hectare of solar panels has been installed on the roofs of Knesset, the Israeli Parliament. These panels were created especially for the Knesset's solar field, which is laid out over 4,650 square meters of the Knesset roofs and will have an installed capacity of 450 kilowatts.
The solar array, which cost the Knesset US $ 600,000, will create some 10% of the Knesset's electricity, and together with additional energy-saving measures, it will help reduce the Knesset's energy use by a third.
The solar array is expected to save the Knesset US $ 75,000 every year. It will operate according to the net-metering method, under which electric energy generated by an electric consumer from an eligible on-site generating facility and delivered to the local distribution facilities may be used to offset electric energy provided by the electric utility to the electric consumer during the applicable billing period.
The Knesset's solar array will be the first of any national institution to operate according to this method. Director General of the Knesset, Mr. Ronen Plot, hopes that other government institutions and local authorities will follow suit and establish solar fields of their own.
In 2014, the Knesset launched the first part of its Green Knesset project consisting of 13 approved and budgeted advanced projects for saving energy and water. The Knesset has invested US $ 1,750,000 in all, and the yearly savings that will come from the project are estimated at US $ 375,000 a year. All of the projects that were approved are economically viable and the project should pay for itself within five years.
The Green Knesset project includes not just the establishment of a solar field for the creation of electricity from renewable energy, but also the installation of thousands of LED lights, installing a new chiller in the energy center whose residual heat will be used to heat water, automatic shutdown of computers at the end of every workday, a review of the Knesset's water usage for gardening purposes and changing to a more economical irrigation model and the desalination of the condensation of the air conditioning systems and using them for irrigation. In addition to the monetary savings, the energy savings will reduce the carbon output and therefore the carbon footprint of the Knesset.
For further details and information, please contact the Press and Public Diplomacy Coordinator at the Embassy, Mr. Seth Owusu-Mante: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I sent in my renewal. The CHL-90 form did NOT mention needing copies of my NRA cert. But, I got a follow up email asking for proof of my NRA certifications AND a copy of my initial certificate (like I still have that anywhere or could find it.)
I notice the CHL-90 has an exception "I regularly instruct others in the use of handguns...." Would all active LTC instructors qualify under that?
You can re-print your cert off of the nra instructor website. I had to do that. Printed it to pdf and uploaded to dps.

Stewart Crameri has kicked seven goals against his old side as the Western Bulldogs thumped Essendon by 87 points.
On a disappointing day for the Bombers, Crameri eclipsed their total score with his career-best personal tally of 7.2 in the 19.13 (127) to 5.10 (40) demolition.
With percentage likely to play a big role as sides jockey for positions in the top eight, the big win could prove pivotal as the Bulldogs storm towards September.
Lachie Hunter continued his fine run of form with a 37-possession performance, but the headline act was the potent Dogs' forward line that also featured four-goal bags from Jake Stringer and Tory Dickson.
Crameri managed just one goal from two encounters with Essendon last year in his first season with the Dogs, but he enjoyed a day out at Etihad Stadium.
"He'd feel good about that," Luke Beveridge said.
"He would have lots of people from Essendon who would have been right in his corner as an Essendon player but once you leave that's all gone and there's no soft spots, so it's great for him to come out and do that.
"It didn't really work out for him and us early (this year) but to his credit he went back to VFL level. It took a few weeks to be selected (for AFL) but we've seen the fruits of him putting his head down and working hard right now.
"It would be nice to think that he's got a fair bit more in him, and we think he has, in the back end of the year."
There was little evidence of what was to come in a dour first quarter under the closed roof that yielded just one goal, to Crameri, as both sides engaged in an ugly display of possession-heavy circle work.
But Beveridge managed to straighten up his Bulldogs, who came out and kicked the first four goals of the second term on the back of a more direct and daring approach.
The Bombers didn't venture inside their attacking 50 for the first 15 minutes of the quarter as the Dogs opened up a 32-point lead, with Mitch Wallis important on the ball and Crameri and Stringer doing the damage up forward.
Stringer kicked three goals in a devastating seven minutes as the Bulldogs took the game away from Essendon to lead by 39 points at halftime and then 70 points at three-quarter time.
The Bombers had few winners in a largely lacklustre display, but Dyson Heppell was valiant with 32 touches and nine clearances, while Brent Stanton gathered 34 possessions and kicked a goal.
A dejected James Hird found few positives in the performance that dropped his side to a 5-12 record.
"I thought we played well in the first then after that our game dropped away considerably," Hird said.
"It was a very disappointing result. Our players got dictated to and we didn't stand up in the contest when we needed to."

Alpacas are hiding something
Kristin has started to think that the next big trend in hipster animal worship, replacing owls, is going to be alpacas.
(Llamas would also be acceptable.)
Her reasoning is thus: "It totally looks like they're in on a secret joke."
After seeing this picture, I can't argue with that.
Featured comments
I LOVE alpacas. I visited two alpaca farms in the fall and made videos about it for work: here.
Lee says:
Those videos were posted back in October. If alpacas become a "thing" it is polite to gloat that you saw it coming.
Am I doing it wrong?
Comments? I don't do open comments. Life is too short.

Pat was born July 27, 1927, in Albany to Merle and Merrill Tycer.
Her family arrived in Oregon by covered wagon in 1845. John Crabtree built a raft to come down the Columbia River. When his wife went into labor, they came ashore on the Oregon side and it was thought that she delivered the first white twins born in Oregon, which Pat was a descendent.
Pat attended Oregon State College until she married James "Royce" Widmer on Nov. 23, 1947. They tried to operate a green bean farm in Albany, but the weather didn't cooperate. They heard about being able to buy a share at Brookings Plywood, so they moved to Brookings in 1953 and built their first of three homes.
Pat was a bookkeeper at several businesses, including the Port of Brookings Harbor. In the mid-1960s, she went to work for Chetco Federal Credit Union, ultimately becoming one of the first women CEOs in Oregon. She retired from a 20-year profession.
She began volunteering at the Chetco Activity Center, serving meals, participating in the Meals on Wheels program, processing income taxes and taking care of people's checkbooks and bills. She also served as the center's president for several years.
She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church and the Red Hat Ladies. She belonged to several pinochle groups and played bunco and bingo for fun.
Pat had an amazing green thumb and all of her yards were a work of art. She loved plants.
Pat passed away on Sept. 3 in Eugene from complication with cancer.
She is survived by son Buzz (Sharmon), daughter Lorna (Cliff), son-in-law Steve Smith, brother George (Mabel), six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by husband Royce, daughter Jerri Sue Smith, her parents and sister Jerry.
Pat was an honest person with integrity in all she did. She lived a good life and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Submitted by the family.

Four days of pure awesome…. with an OMG what an Airshow. We got stunning hot weather or 24-27 degrees (putting aside a 2 hour downpour) for a spectacular display of flying some incredible machines. Between the three of us we shot over 12,500 photos and videos. From the magical WWI Fokkers to the P51 Mustang and Spitfires all the way through to the Venom. What a show.
This is the first great picture I've pulled out of the Spitfire …(got days of work to go over them all) and I'm not complaining one bit. In fact I'm still smiling and will be for some time. I must say seeing the seven WWI Fokkers flying was incredible as was the Focke Wulf FW 190… more pics to come in the next few days as I get though them..…lot's of Wings of War to be played in the coming weeks ;- )
