Day-by-day photographic guide to observing the features of the Moon through a small telescope. Whole Moon images are provided for each day of the 29-day lunar cycle, with labelled features and accompanying descriptive text. Selected lunar features are shown at high magnification to highlight and clearly illustrate certain regions and all lunar features are labelled using current IAU terminology.
'The concept of providing a day-by-day photographic guide for observing Lunar features throughout an entire Lunation, specifically aimed at owners of small telescopes, is excellent ! I recommend the book for those wishing to have a crash course on the Moon's features !'. Mike Brown, Popular Astronomy '! it is a splendid guide to identifying the various features; I have never seen this better done. The text is written in a charmingly informal style, and it is clear that the authors are real enthusiasts - or lunatics, as they call themselves! I have been observing the Moon for over seventy years, and I have a great deal of lunar material, but this delightful and refreshing Atlas will have an honoured place in my library.' Patrick Moore, The Observatory '! a beautifully presented guide to observing lunar features with small telescopes ! an excellent photographic lunar day-by-day guide and I can certainly recommend it to owners of small telescopes and less-experienced observers. All you need is a month of clear skies to follow an entire Lunation!' Gordon Nason, Astronomy & Space

Araucaria araucana
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Araucaria araucana (Molina) K.Koch
Common Name(s):
Pinus araucana Molina
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Farjon, A. 2010. A Handbook of the World's Conifers. Koninklijke Brill, Leiden.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B2ab(ii,iii,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Premoli, A., Quiroga, P. & Gardner, M.
|Thomas, P. & Farjon, A.
Araucaria araucana has an actual area of occupancy (AOO) of 392.51 km² which falls within the threshold for Endangered under criterion B2. Within the Andes and the Coastal Cordillera of Chile the population is severely fragmented and there is a continuing decline in its AOO due to a range of debilitating factors including fire, logging and overgrazing. Consequently it is assessed as EN B2ab(ii,iii,v).
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
Native to south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina where it has a relatively limited distribution spanning three degrees of latitude from 37º20' to 40º20'S (Veblen et al. 1995). Its distribution is split between the main area straddling both sides of the Andes and two other disjunct small subpopulations in Cordillera de Nahuelbuta in Chile. The total actual area of occupancy (AOO) in Argentina and Chile is 392.51 km2.
Chile: It occurs from Region VIII (Province Biobío, 37º20'S) south to Region X (Province Valdivia, 40º20'S). In this area it has an actual AOO of 253.71 km2 (Echeverría et al. 2004) with 97% of the population in the Andes. The small subpopulations in the coastal Cordillera de Nahuelbuta in Regions VIII and IX are between 37º40'S and 38º29'S and have an AOO of 74.35 km² (Echeverría et al. 2004). The northern coastal subpopulation (37º44'S and 37º51'S) is predominantly in Parque Nacional Nahuelbuta and the smaller southern subpopulation (38º26'S to 38º29'S) is located at Villa Las Araucarias.
Argentina: It is restricted to the Province of Neuquén where it occurs between Lake Aluminé and Lago Lolog; it occurs continuously between 38º40'to 39º20'S, but disjunct stands can be found as far north as 37º50'S (Rechene 2000). It has an actual AOO of 138.80 km2 (Anonymous 2004).

The main subpopulation is confined to the Andes, with most of the stands on the western slopes in Chile. In Argentina they are confined to a narrow strip about 200 km in length; the most important forests are 30 to 50 km wide and 150 kilometres long. The eastern-most stands occur as isolated groups (Burns 1993) which are probably remnants of an earlier, wider distribution. These fragmented stands show high levels of genetic variation (Bekessy et al. 2002, Marchelli et al. 2010) and these rear edge subpopulations are considered to be 'disproportionally important for the long-term conservation of genetic diversity' (Hampe and Petit 2005). The coastal cordillera of Chile has two small subpopulations, one mostly confined by Parque Nacional Nahuelbuta and the smaller southern, unprotected site of Villa Las Araucarias. This latter subpopulation is also significantly genetically differentiated (Bekessey et al. 2002).
|Current Population Trend:

|Habitat and Ecology:
|In the Andes, Araucaria occurs from the upper timber-line at ca. 1,500 to 1,800 m, down to 900 m with scattered individuals as low as 600 m (Veblen et al. 1995). The forests occur on soils derived from volcanic ash deposits (Casertano and Lombardi 1963) or on well-developed soils derived from metamorphic and sedimentary rocks (Peralta 1980). It can form relatively extensive pure stands often on steep volcanic slopes or in association with temperate rainforest species including Nothofagus antarctica, N. dombeyi, N. pumilio and Saxegothaea conspicua (Hechenleitner et al. 2005), however its most common forest type in the Andes is over a sub-canopy of Nothofagus pumilio (Veblen 1982). In the northern subpopulation in the Nahuelbuta Cordillera (southern central Chile) the species occurs at its highest coastal altitude of 1400 m and grows with N. obliqua and N. pumilio while the southern subpopulation occurs at an altitude of 600 m in a highly disturbed landscape dominated by mixed forests of Nothofagus spp. and exotic tree species (Hechenleitner et al. 2005). In Argentina it forms pure stands at between 900 and 1,800 m (Rechene 2000), but it is commonly associated with Nothofagus antarctica or N. pumilio (Funes et al. 2006), in Parque Nacional Lanin 49% of the forest is associated with Nothofagus pumilio and N. dombeyi. Towards the east of its range in Argentina where the rainfall is less (between 1,000 to 1,500 mm) it occurs with Austrocedrus chilensis, Lomatia hirsuta and shrubby species of the steppe vegetation (Burns 1993).
Its ecology is disturbance-driven, mainly by the effect of volcanoes, fire, landslides, snow avalanches and wind. In order to survive such disturbances it has developed effective adaptations, such as thick bark and epicormic buds (Burns 1993, Veblen 1982). A. araucana is predominantly dioecious and its seed is gravity-dispersed or assisted by Austral parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) and other animals (Shepherd et al. 2008). Both seed and pollen are relatively heavy and may not disperse over large distances, although seed dispersal may be assisted by parakeets and other animals (Finckh and Paulsch 1995). Asexual reproduction by root suckering has been reported (Schilling and Donoso 1976), but it is unknown how important this process is to population maintenance and expansion (Veblen et al. 1995). It is a long-lived tree and specimens over 1300 years are not uncommon.
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Use and Trade:
|A. araucana has light, soft, medium-weight wood which is used for lumber, flooring, paper pulp and ship-masts (Delmastro and Donoso 1980). Due to its listing on Appendix I of CITES there is no legal international trade in the timber; currently there is only local use in Argentina and Chile. The seeds are very rich in carbohydrates and proteins and were once an essential part of the diet of the indigenous people; the seeds are boiled or roasted, and their taste is similar to that of chestnuts. Today, the seeds are still eaten by local inhabitants, both the indigenous people and settlers. It is also highly prized as an ornamental tree in Europe (especially throughout Great Britain) and in parts of North America.
|Major Threat(s):
|About 60% of the Argentine Araucaria forests remain after deforestation (Veblen et al. 1999, Rechene 2000) and these forests are under continual threat and degradation: historically this has been caused by fire, logging and overgrazing. The frequency of fires has increased during the 20th century in order to establish agricultural and livestock activities (Marchelli et al. 2010) and this has resulted in severe fragmentation of Araucaria forests. Today the most obvious sign of forest degradation is the lack of natural regeneration that, under normal conditions, follows a 'pulse' pattern of highly productive seed years followed by less productive ones (Gallo et al. 2004). Many forests are subject to intensive human use in the form of seed collecting and animal grazing, Araucaria trees are poor at regenerating, and any regeneration that does occur is principally asexual with trees sprouting from roots (Gallo et al. 2004). There are severe threats to Araucaria araucana in the north of its range in Argentina, due to the establishment of plantations of exotic tree species within these native stands (A.C. Premeoli pers. comm.). In Chile the main threat is anthropogenic fires: large areas in several national parks have been destroyed within the last 25 years.
|Conservation Actions:
Araucaria araucana is listed on Appendix I of CITES which strictly regulates the trade in its timber and seeds. The listing was approved in Chile in 1979 and transferred from Appendix II to Appendix I in Argentina in 2000 (Anonymous 2000). It is listed as a Natural Monument in Chile which gives it legal protection against logging. Approximately, 65.9% of the forests in the Coastal Range are within private properties, and the State (SNASPE) protects only 34.1% (Echeverría et al. 2004). The subpopulation in Villas Las Araucarias, which has unique genetic characteristics, is currently unprotected by the State (Bekessy et al. 2002, Echeverría et al. 2004 ). There are several Chilean private initiatives which are helping to protect Araucaria forests and these include Parques Para Chile and Reserva Nasampulli. In Argentina most stands have some form of protection, especially in Parque Nacional Lanín and Nahuel-Huapi. However, small and fragmented stands towards the eastern range in Argentina which are as genetically diverse as those on the Andes, occur outside protected areas and deserve particular attention (Marchelli et al. 2010). In Chile, the Villa Las Araucarias forest restoration project is restoring a severely degraded four hectare site (Echeverría et al. 2004). The natural regeneration and survival of Araucaria araucana needs to be urgently evaluated.

Non-profit, K-12, and Individual pricing also available
See pricing information and conditions
This fascinating multidisciplinary social history investigates the contributions of New Mexico's diverse cultures to the state's unique architectural heritage. Today adobe is often associated with wealth and the "Santa Fe Style." But adobe architecture also continues to play a vital role in Native American and Hispanic cultures in New Mexico. Adobe is not just a building material. Its formal and structural elements cannot be divorced from its social, cultural, and environmental functions. Down to Earth explores the increasing pressures of tourism and development and illustrates the relationship between the environment of New Mexico and the continuity of cultural tradition.
A useful and informative classroom tool for demonstrating to students the important context that exists between adobe, people, and their traditions in the Southwest. — W. Brown Morton III, Chair, Historic Preservation, Mary Washington College
Those of us who have been sheltered by it know adobe walls are more than mud and straw. Down To Earth is a beautiful way to understand this truth. — Tony Hillerman

Brian Wood Recruits "DMZ's" Riccardo Burchielli To End "Conan"
Historically, the end of Conan The Barbarian's romance with the pirate queen Bêlit is not a happy one, and Brian Wood wouldn't have it any other way.
For the past two years, the writer has been expanding creator Robert E. Howard's original story "Queen of the Black Coast" into a long form comics work in the pages of Dark Horse Comics' "Conan," and recently the publisher revealed that for the final arc of the run, Wood's longtime "DMZ" collaborator Riccardo Burchielli will join him on the series for a four-part story called "The Song of Bêlit." And as we count down to the appearance of a winged beast which will challenge the two warrior lovers, Wood promises Burchielli's art will bring equal parts sex and violence to a series that's already seen its share of both.
CBR News spoke with the writer about the final arc and how it's indicative of his "Conan" run as a whole, the writer explaining how artists Becky Cloonan and Paul Azaceta have led the way for a more modern adaptation of Howard's character, why the series gives Burchielli a chance to cut loose like never before and how he's approaching a finish that will be faithful to Howard in its savagery and silence.
CBR News: Overall, the artists have been varied in their own styles and in their approach to Conan. Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, Declan Shalvey, Mirko Colak and Paul Azaceta are all folks who I think break a bit from the Frazetta/Smith tradition on the Barbarian without breaking from the core of Howard's character or world. Overall, how much do you feel that shift in style has helped the book or guided it creatively?
Brian Wood: I think it just serves to reinforce the fact that this book isn't the 70's-style Savage Sword Conan and is its own thing — a more current take on Conan, not a retro piece. While all the artists you name have styles very different from each other, they are of this generation of talent and automatically bring a newness to what they do. It's also worth noting that all of them except for Mirko and James Harren were collaborators of mine on "Northlanders." So the combination of them plus me is not only a proven relationship, but in a way a sort of continuation of the modern/historical vibe that drove "Northlanders."
And now Riccardo joins the book! Obviously, you guys have worked together before, maybe more than any other artist you've teamed with, I'm guessing. In general, why did you want someone you're so close with to work on the book at its end?
Well, I love Riccardo and I knew he'd be into the book, and also, specifically, this final chapter. It's sort of a no-brainer, really, and given the chance I will always ask to work with someone I know.
Of course, while most folks will immediately think of "DMZ" with this team, Riccardo also did some issues of "Northlanders," which I think might give folks an idea of how he'll handle Conan. Is there a specific approach he's taking here that meshes well with that past work or maybe goes against expectation?
It's pretty lurid, both in terms of sexuality and the horror that is part and parcel with these end chapters of "The Queen of the Black Coast." He's into that sort of thing, the "Heavy Metal" vibe (for lack of a better term). "DMZ" had him restrained so often that, with this and with "Northlanders," I wanted to see the Wild European Cartoonist emerge, the death metal musician, the blackly comic guy I know him to be. So in fitting with the source material he's adapting, its a bit gonzo — lots of ruined cities, creatures lurking in the dark, serpents, drugs, sex, battles, blood red moons and mystical jungles. He goes for it.
With six issues to go, this is going to be the longest continual arc in your whole Conan run. Can you tell me a bit about the scope of this finale? Has much changed from your original plan after nearly 20 issues of storytelling?
Well, let's see — the "Black Stones" arc that Paul Azaceta is drawing takes us through #21, so Riccardo's arc is four issues, #22-25. So its about the same length as the others. And unlike most of my run, this last arc is strictly adapted from the source material. Which is fine, except I didn't quite realize until I sat down to script that most of that source material is devoid of dialogue. So that's been a challenge, to put together a comic book script based off something where no one speaks for entire issues at a time.
As an adaptation/expansion of "Queen of the Black Coast," this whole series revolves around Conan's relationship with Bêlit. How has your understanding of what that relationship is all about grown over the course of the series?
Well, its been up to me to define that. The source material only goes so far — we have them meeting, and we have the end of the story, and in the middle, the years they spent together, it was all undefined. Bêlit's referred to as the great love of his life, but we never saw what that means, what they did or how that happened. It was, honestly, the thing that made me take the job, the freedom to add to a mythology like that. I've stayed pretty close to the original pitch, in terms of the ups and downs and challenges they faced. Some of its pretty hardcore at times, but great loves are only great if they survive terrible challenges.
Anyone who's read the original novel knows that the ending of this story isn't an "and they happily sail off into the sunset" affair, though let's leave specific spoilers aside for the moment. As this is the end of the whole run and the section of the novel perhaps best remembered by fans, in what ways are you and Riccardo hoping to go out with a bang?
I don't know if we'll be going out with a bang, to be honest. Meaning, I don't think the story has that sort of climatic vibe at the end. There's a hell of a lot of drama and a few pretty epic fight scenes, but it's so dark, very downbeat and heavy. Very "heart of darkness." I do think it's going to have tremendous emotional impact, and that's good enough for me. It's exactly the sort of endings I love to write in my creator-owned books.
Part 1 of "Conan's" final arc, "The Song of Bêlit," begins with issue #22 on November 20.

NutriMost is suing Healthy Living for stealing their promotion video. The Manhattan Federal court suite claims Healthy Living Company stole the promotion video from NutriMost website and used it to promote their Company. The Healthy Living not only plagiarized NutriMost promotion video but used the same costumers as NutriMost and promises. Promising that the product can help costumers lose 20 to 40 pounds in 40 days. Nutrimost is wants $300,000 for stealing their video and ruining their reputation.
NutriMost use a different type of technology to lose weight it's called resonant frequency. Using resonant frequency helps doctors see what your body needs and what exactly is preventing you from losing weight. With Nutrimost, you can learn more about your body and how your body metabolizes food. As a result, Nutrimost staff and coaches are able to create a plan based off of the bio-markers that's measured through resonant frequency.
Everyone is different. In fact, certain healthy foods could be slowing your metabolism and making your body store fat and you don't even know it. You're guaranteed to lose weight because this program is a customized program and the staff helps the patients to maintain the weight. Dr. Mitch Gordon has lost 38 pounds in the NutriMost program. Julia a woman in Connecticut had enough of "yo-yo dieting" and turned to NurtiMost, within a year Julia has lost 86 pounds. Founder of NutriMost, Dr. Rob Vasquez loss 35 pounds in 40 days and has been able to maintain his weight. Patients have seen improvements in their weight and common medical conditions related to obesity like asthma and high blood pressure.

DirequiemSonnie describes Direquiem as "the true direct finish to Requiem" The line of Rhapsody, the UK's first E11 as climbed by Dave MacLeod, takes the path of most resistance (the hardest moves) up the Requiem headwall and is shaped like an inverted question mark - ¿ - where Direquiem goes direct (almost in a straight line) from the top of the Requiem crack to the top of the cliff.
Direquiem weighs in at the North American grade of 5.14a R (proposed); 5.14a translates as sport 8b+ climbing and the 'R' means that you can expect long but safe falls if you lob. This is a lot more honest than giving pre-practiced routes an inflated, hypothetical, headline-grabbing E grade, although Sonnie says, "I don't know what this translates to in the E grade system, but I'll let others figure it out. "
However flawed applying E-grades to headpoints is, it is our current system. Top rope practice before the lead can be traced back to the early history of climbing and is well established, especially on bolt-free gritstone and mountain routes. However, several of the UK's top climbers are now of the opinion that E grades should only be applied to onsight and ground up ascents. This will hopefully stop the practice of over-grading to embellish a climbers reputation which has been common the last 20 years or so.
Sonnie Trotter: Another WeekFurther, Dave Brown of Hot Aches confirmed to UKClimbing.com that Sonnie has extended his stay again for another week so he can hopefully complete what he has travelled all this way for, Rhapsody. Dave also commented that Sonnie has taken the fall off Rhapsody from his headpoint highpoint 22 times so far.
Like Dave MacLeod, Sonnie keeps it honest and the tittle-tattle low, between his high level climbing, by writing his thoughts on his online diary (blog) and he has this to say for us.
"You see, Rhapsody may be an eliminate, but it is still Rhapsody. There is a tremendous amount of logic behind what Dave did and that deserves a pile of respect I think. He saw the line, and climbed it to the top. The only rule is don't bail left to the arete, (a cop out) stay on the face and the line is very much obvious. And yes, very hard.......Rhapsody is basically a 5.13c/d (8a+/8b) into a V10/V11 (Font7c+/8a) and a cheeky one at that. Not ground breaking terrain, by sport climbing standards....Rhapsody is a good route, actually no, it's a terrific route, it climbs so fucking well, it's actually fun to fall off of. "
You can read more of Sonnie's thoughts on Rhapsody, plus PHOTOS at: www.sonnietrotter.com
Steve McClure on RhapsodyThere is no doubt that Steve McClure is at the top of his game, a true climbers' climber, his love for climbing outshines any commercial motivations (but I'm sure he could do with more financial rewards for his commitment and his exposure).
Last week McClure made a flash ascent of Gareth Parry's new F8b+, Dr Crimp, at Kilnsey in Yorkshire, a week after the routes first ascent (See Dave Simmonite's report at www.climbmagazine.com). Prior to that he established a new 9a+ at the same crag - see the UKClimbing.com report, May 20: Steve McClure Success at Kilnsey Today.
Steve was part of a team, including James Pearson and John Dunne, who went north to have a look at Rhapsody, and he didn't hang about. On Steve's second day a headpoint attempt saw him a few metres away from making the second ascent of Rhapsody, in Sonnie's words, "on his second day he linked to my highpoint, (the crux) but slipped going for the first good hold which leads to the top. He then did Requiem to cool down."
As Dave Brown of Hot Aches said "Steve McClure is absolutely phenomenal."
Best of luck to Sonnie this week on his attempts on Rhapsody and thanks for keeping us all up to date.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. defense officials affirmed their commitment to a $1 billion expansion of a Boeing Co ground-based missile defense system despite a test failure this month, but called for more regular testing to get a grip on nagging quality control issues.
James Miller, undersecretary of defense for policy, and Missile Defense Agency Director Vice Admiral James Syring, on Wednesday underscored the importance of the missile defense program, citing the escalating threat posed by advances in missile development by North Korea and Iran.
Miller told an event sponsored by the Air Force Association that the July 5 failure of the only U.S. defense against long-range ballistic missiles, the third consecutive intercept test failure, was surprising and involved an "unusual anomaly."
He confirmed that the interceptor, which is built by Raytheon Co, failed to separate from the third stage of the rocket, but gave no further details. It is designed to hit and destroy the target warhead outside the Earth's atmosphere.
Reuters last week reported an industry source familiar with the probe said a faulty battery may have prevented the interceptor's separation from the rocket.
Republican lawmakers have seized on the test failure to argue against reductions in spending on missile defense by the Obama administration. While the failure has sharpened concerns about the program voiced over the years by Democrats.
Senator Richard Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who heads the defense appropriations subcommittee, told a hearing that the U.S. government had spent about $150 billion on missile defense systems since the 1980s, and lawmakers wanted to see successful tests before agreeing to an expansion.
"What troubles me is this is a system that still hasn't been proven to be able to protect America," Durbin said.
Miller said he believed the failure to separate was "something that ought to be relatively easily resolvable" and he remained confident in the overall missile defense system.
He said the Pentagon still planned to add 14 ground-based interceptors, or GBIs, to the 30 interceptors already in place in Alaska and California by fiscal 2017, and was keeping its options open to add more.
Miller said he favored more frequent testing "both as a matter of good acquisition and maintenance practice, and as a demonstration that these systems work."
But he chafed at suggestions by Republicans that funding cuts had contributed to the recent test failure, telling Reuters after his speech, that the Missile Defense Agency had determined the pace of testing.
The previous test to intercept a dummy warhead was in 2008, although other non-intercept tests have been done since then.
Miller said he would like to see both the CE-I interceptor involved in the failed July test and a newer CE-II interceptor, which has suffered two test failures of its own, tested again with the next 12 months, and preferably sooner.
Syring, the missile defense agency's director, told the Senate panel an extensive review was underway to find out why the test failed and that better quality control was a top priority.
He vowed to conduct more regular testing and accelerate upgrades of the CE-II interceptor, or to redesign and upgrade the current CE-I interceptor, depending on the outcome.
"Regardless of the path we embark on, we will aggressively attack any substantiated quality control problems coming out of the failure review board that need to be corrected through the program," Syring said in testimony prepared for the hearing.
"In light of the last three (ground-based mid-course defense) failures, I recognize that quality and reliability in our GBIs must be our top concern," he said.
The Pentagon's latest budget request proposed two flight tests in fiscal 2014, each at an estimated cost of around $214 million. Syring declined to rule out the need for additional funding as a result of the failed intercept test.
He said the next test of the CE-II interceptor was planned for March, and officials were deciding whether to re-test the CE-I interceptor involved in the recent test failure first.
But he sought to assure Durbin and other lawmakers that the Pentagon was committed to "flying before we buy any more" and would not buy more interceptors until more tests were done.
The Pentagon has been upgrading its oldest interceptors that were fielded in the early 2000s, and Syring said the failed test earlier this month involved one of the upgraded rockets.
Durbin quizzed Syring about the reports that half of the 30 interceptors now in use included obsolete parts, while a third not operational because of a known design flaw.
Syring declined to be specific, but said the military had "a number" of interceptors available.
In fiscal 2015, he said the Pentagon would begin testing the system against longer-range missiles, with eight long-range intercept tests scheduled in the following five years.

My wife JoAnn and I both recently celebrated our 80th birthday. As we get older, we frequently misplace things or forget where we put them. We have learned that a simple prayer to our Heavenly Father is often all that is needed to locate the item. Quite often, as soon as I finish praying, there comes into my mind the correct place to look – and there it is!

Funds miraculously provided to pay old debts
By Jon M. Taylor
After the death of my first wife, Janice, I was left with large debts from medical expenses and from borrowing to get through my MBA program. In a vain effort over a period of years to repay those debts, I started several businesses and worked long hours to get ahead financially. However, it seemed that the harder I worked, the more I fell behind financially.until I was deep in debt.
While all this was going on, I was having problems coping as a single parent. I went to a counselor for help. He heard me describe my herculean efforts to get on top financially while raising my children alone. Finally, he suggested I consider bankruptcy. He told me that my children needed not just my money but my time. I had been using babysitters and day care but had not given them as much personal attention as I gave to my business pursuits.
The idea of bailing out on my debts through bankruptcy was foreign to me. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that my counselor was right; my children really needed me. So I filed for bankruptcy, saving some money by filing myself without the help of an attorney. However, I kept a record of the names and addresses of all my creditors, hoping to some day pay them all back.
Ten years went by, then twenty, and finally thirty years passed without making enough progress to pay those old debts. Even though I was no longer legally obligated to pay them, I felt an obligation to do so as a matter of honor.
While reading in the Doctrine & Covenants one day, I came upon these verses:
And again, I say unto you concerning your debts — behold it is my will that you shall pay all your debts.
And it is my will that you shall humble yourselves before me, and obtain this blessing by your diligence and humility and the prayer of faith. (Doctrine & Covenants 104:78-79)
I took this literally and began fasting and praying every Sunday for this blessing. After only a few weeks, I was hired as an expert witness by the legal firm of an entity made up of top Amway distributors who were trying to break away from Amway to work for a competitor. Amway was suing them for breach of a contract that included a non-competition clause restricting their working for a competing company for an extended period of time. Millions of dollars were at stake on both sides, and they were willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to expert witnesses to help them build their case.
As I fulfilled my contract as a consultant and expert witness, payments for my consulting services came flowing in at a pace I had not seen before in all my entrepreneurial pursuits. It was almost unbelievable – a miraculous fulfillment of the scripture cited above in the Doctrine & Covenants.
So I pulled out from my files the list of about thirty companies and individuals I had left unpaid as creditors when I filed for bankruptcy thirty years earlier. I started at the top of the list, picked up the phone, and called the creditor.
"Hi, this is Jon Taylor. Remember me?"
There would be a brief period of silence. They would then say something iike, "Oh yeah. You're the guy who left me holding the bag for $5,000."
"Well I was just wondering if you'd like your money back."
Silence again. They could not believe that I would be getting back to them and offering to repay them after 30 years.
I would then write them a check and send it to them.
I called each former creditor on this list and did the same for them.
However, there were a few former debtors that no longer could be found or who had been sold or merged until no one could be found who could appropriately receive the money. One respondent said, "After all this time, I don't even know where I would put the money. Why don't you give it to the poor?"
I discussed this with my bishop, who responded that I had done everything I could to repay loans that I was not even legally obligated to pay after th4e bankruptcy. He suggested that since the Lord provided the funds, I might give the balance to the poor. Since some members of my family and members of the ward were then unemployed and struggling financially, I followed the bishop's advice and gave the remainder of the money to those in need.
As happened to me so often before, the promises of the Lord were miraculously fulfilled.
A testimony of tithing
By Jon M. Taylor
From my youth, I have always paid my tithing out of obedience to the law of the Lord, not with any expectation of reward. However, JoAnn and I had an experience recently that confirmed my faith in the principle of tithing.
Having recovered from surgery to remove a large pituitary tumor behind my right eye, JoAnn drove me to the University Hospital for a follow-up exam. On the way back, she was watching for signs to determine where we were and missed seeing a stop light turn red. A Subaru Ouback hit us broadside, causing the car to spin around and stop near a curb. Our '99 Accura was severely damaged, but no one was hurt. We managed to drive the car home, and I immediately went to a trusted dealer to get a replacement vehicle.
We settled on a 2006 Hyundai Sonata, for which the salesman wanted $7,700. I bargained with him until he dropped the price to $6,300. It would be a strain on our finances. but we needed the car. So we wrote a check to the dealer and told him to hold it so we could transfer some funds. We drove home with the car.
Within 48 hours I got a call from an investment broker who was handling some of our retirement. He asked, "You remember that municipal bond you bought several years ago? Well, it's been called, so you have some money in your account."
"How much," I asked.
I about fell off my chair. This may have been just a coincidence, but not likely. I like to believe this was the Lord looking out for us as faithful tithe payers.
My personal revelation prior to introduction of Family Home Evening
By Jon M. Taylor
A few years after my mission, I learned an important lesson in obedience and sacrifice. From 1961 to 1963 I was a full-time 9th grade seminary teacher in Holladay. The young people were a challenge, full of energy and mischief. About this time I developed a concern about a policy of the church.
In 1915, almost Fifty years earlier, President Joseph F. Smith was advising church members to hold a weekly home evening. In fact, I had in my possession an old old manual of suggestions on how this was to be done. However, it was not made an official program of the Church, and few families were regularly practicing it in 1963 when I was teaching seminary. But I observed in my teaching experience that those students who were taught and who practiced the gospel in their homes were more solid Latter-day Saints than those whose parents left it to the seminaries and auxiliaries to teach and train their children in the gospel.
I became convinced that a more formal family home evening program could have a great impact on the youth of the Church. I had gone so far as to conceptualize a set of books that could be used to help parents conduct these home evenings. I wondered if I should prepare or organize a firm to publish them – or seek additional training so that I could be qualified as an expert on topics central to this project. The question of how I should proceed was one that I could not seem to resolve. I even corresponded with church leaders to share my concern, but did not get an encouraging response. This concern ate away at me until I felt I needed an answer directly from my Father in Heaven to put my mind at rest.
A talk recently given by Elder Marion G. Romney of the Council of the Twelve gave me hope. He had said, "I know that God can hear prayers; he has heard mine on many occasions. I have received direct revelations from him. I have had problems which it seemed to me that I could not solve. I have suffered in facing those problems until it seemed that I could not go forward without a solution to them. Through faith, and on many occasions fasting for a day each week over long periods of time, I have had answers to those problems revealed to my mind in finished sentences. I have heard the voice of God and I know his words . . ."
Elder Romney indicated that we could follow the same procedure if we needed an answer to prayer. I knew also from the promises of the scripture that if a person purified himself and did the Lord's will he could pray as directed by the Spirit, with the assurance that his prayers would be answered:
"And if ye are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the name of Jesus, and it shall be done.
"But know this, it shall be given you what you shall ask . . ."(D&C 52:29-30)
Also: "He that asketh in the Spirit asketh according to the will of God; wherefore it is done even as he asketh." (D&C 46:30)
Here the principles of sacrifice and obedience come together, in this case to yield the faith necessary to have our prayers answered. So I decide to work on getting my life in order, making sure that I repented of whatever in my life might be offensive to the Lord. I began fasting one day a week and praying to have my question answered. And I resolved to do whatever service or sacrifice the Lord would require of me.
One day I was fasting and had completed a rough day of teaching these restless teenagers. That evening was mutual, and I was teaching a group of (what was then called) Explorers, many of whom I had taught in seminary. They were tired of me, and the feeling was mutual. They were literally climbing the walls of our classroom, some pretending they were going to jump out the window. A lot of teasing and sarcastic things were said, making it impossible for me to give a spiritual lesson. But I hung in there and kept my cool until class time was over.
After mutual, a ward choir practice was held, and I had been asked, actually given a calling by the Bishop to join the choir, as male voices were needed. Now I had sung in good university choruses and knew what a good choir sounded like. This ward choir did not sound at all like that. But I had resolved to do whatever the asked of me, so I joined in the choir practice.
As we got into it, the choir reminded me of the admonition repeated often in the Psalms to "Sing a joyful noise unto the Lord." This was a noisy choir all right, but it was a joyful noise, and we seemed to feel a good spirit in the music.
After choir practice, a group of the brethren were gathered around the drinking fountain, complaining about decisions that had been made regarding the renovation of the ward building. They were griping and rehearsing their displeasure about the direction of the remodeling underway.
I had made a covenant that I would do anything the Lord required of me, and I felt someone had to stand up for the local priesthood leadership. So I told these men that since we had voted to sustain our ward and stake leaders in their callings and in these very decisions, it was not appropriate to now be second-guessing their decisions. Whether we agreed or not, it was now our responsibility to support them and stand behind them in this building program.
Well, I did not make any friends that evening, but I felt I had done everything the Lord required of me. During my walk home, a distance of about half a mile, a feeling came over me that I shall never forget. I had the absolute confidence that whatever I prayed for would be given me. All I had to do was ask.
I could have prayed for a lot of things. We did not have much money, and we were driving an old car. But these things seemed insignificant to me at that time. The one thing that was retarding my progress was my unanswered question.
On arriving home, I knelt to pray, seeking an answer for what I should do about this project. Before I could even get the words out of my mouth, the answer to my question came in a finished sentence, just as Elder Romney had promised – and as the Lord told the Saints in 1831: "He that asketh in the Spirit asketh according to the will of God; wherefore it is done even as he asketh." (D&C 46:30)
The answer that was given of the Lord was as follows:
"The Lord can do his own work through the humble servants he chooses."
Though this was somewhat of a rebuke to me, it was tremendously comforting to know that the Lord cared enough to respond. So I dropped the project and waited to see what would develop.
The answer was soon confirmed, when in January 1965, the 50-year practice was given renewed emphasis under the administration of President David O. McKay. That year, a family home evening lesson manual was published with families throughout the Church admonished to hold weekly family home evenings, including lessons and fun activities. Church leaders announced that Mondays ware to be set aside for weekly family home evenings throughout the Church. No church meetings or activities were to be held that would interfere with this important family event. And a manual was provided to help families develop lessons and activities for this special weekly family home evening.
The anniversary – and the camera
By Jon M. Taylor
While serving in Milwaukee on my mission, we taught Mr. and Mrs. Fouts, a young couple with a new baby who were receptive to our message, and we enjoyed a friendly relationship.. One evening when we came over to teach a lesson, the Fouts was very frustrated. They had set aside $70 (a lot of money at the time) for their first anniversary which was coming right up, and the money could nowhere be found.
We expressed our sympathy and tried to proceed with the lesson. However, their sadness was so overwhelming that they could think of nothing else. So we struggled with what to do. Soon I came up with what I thought was an idea that would provide some comfort for them.
I said, "I'll tell you what we can do that might make your anniversary special. I have a nice camera with some film in it, and we will come over and take pictures of you for your anniversary."
"We won't be needing that," said Mrs. Fouts. "We have our own camera."
Silence. Then I came up with another bright idea: "Just last week I bought several rolls of film at a special quantity price. I would be happy to give some film to your that you can use with your camera."
"We have our own film," she replied firmly.
More silence. I could think of nothing more to offer that might comfort them. The only thing I could come up with were more suggestions regarding their camera, such as how we could help them take pictures of them with their new baby with their camera that would be very special.
Mrs. Founts became very agitated at these repeated suggestions regarding the camera. She got up and went to get her camera and said, " Look, I told you we have a camera and film, and to prove it to you –" She opened up her camera to expose the film, and out fell the $70!
Apparently, she had hidden the money inside the camera and forgotten it.
When I shared this experience with my mission president, he said the Holy Ghost can not only bring things to our mind, but can also block out new thoughts so that we are preoccupied with one overriding thought.

Ministers and Measles
By Jon M. Taylor
Before my mission, I had many questions about the Church even though I had attended seminary and read all four of the standard works. Then while attending our local university, I studied philosophy from a professor who loved to make fun of religion. Also, my anthropology teacher was big on evolution, and I went to his lab to see the skulls of ancient apes from which we had supposedly descended. What I had learned in seminary and in the scriptures certainly did not square with what I was learning at the university.
My faith in God and the Church was shattered. I confided this to a woman in the ward who I trusted. She wisely urged me to continue my search for the truth and not just accept what I was learning at the university.
So I made a study of world religions, especially the major Christian denominations – and compared them with our church doctrine for doctrine. I even organized a group of friends to visit other churches to see what they believed and how they worshipped. When I accepted a call to serve a mission, I did not yet have a testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the only true church. But in my opinion, none were better. I still had to study and pray a lot on my mission to gain a more spiritual witness.
My first assignment was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For some reason, we encountered several ministers and Jesuit priests in training. We discussed our differences, and I was well prepared because of my study of different religions. But arguing points of doctrine did not make converts. As time went on, I became more dependent on the Spirit and experienced the joy of teaching and baptizing some wonderful converts.
However, all during my mission, I had a fantasy that kept coming back to me. That was to preach to a whole group of ministers – and to invite them to involve the members of their congregations to study the restored gospel with them. Why not? My great-grandfather, John Taylor, and other early missionaries preached to whole congregations and saw thousands come into the Church.
The opportunity to fulfill my dream came towards the end of my mission. While in Waterloo, Iowa, we were invited to speak at a luncheon of the Waterloo Ministerial Association, made up of over 100 ministers in Northern Iowa. They wanted us to explain why we were proselyting members of their congregation – since they were already Christians.
I was so excited for this wonderful opportunity that I studied night and day for three days before the appointed gathering. I prepared an airtight sermon from their own Bible to prove that there would be a general apostasy from the truth and eventually a restoration of the fullness of the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ by heavenly messengers, including the coming forth of the Book of Mormon – as prophesied. I would give chapter and verse to support each point.
When I awoke the morning of the meeting, I thought "Oh good, today is the day!" But when my companion, Elder Peterson, saw me, he said, "Elder Taylor, maybe you should look in the mirror."
"Why," I asked. "What's wrong?"
He told me, "Just look in the mirror."
I did – and saw bright red spots all over my face and hands. I had come down with the measles!
What to do? I thought of going anyway, but the spots were too obvious. And I didn't think I could send my companion, as he had come from a farm in Central Utah only three months before, had no college, and knew little about other religions. I was sure they would make mincemeat of him.
So as district supervisor, I called another elder who was nearing the end of his mission and could probably handle the situation. I stayed back at the apartment with his companion, who had just recently arrived in our mission. So the senior elder went with my companion.
A couple of hours later they returned, excited and eager to tell of their experience. "What happened," I asked.
This is what happened. The luncheon was to be followed by the missionaries addressing the group of ministers, and then there would be a question and answer period.
After lunch, the senior elder stood and told the story of the First Vision, the appearance of Moroni, and the miraculous translation of the golden plates. He then spoke of the restoration of the Aaronic priesthood by John the Baptist and of the Melchizedek priesthood by Peter, James and John. He spoke of the sealing power restored to earth that makes it possible for couples and families to be sealed together forever in his holy temples. He then bore his testimony and sat down.
Then my companion – the youngest and least educated person in the room – stood. As I recall from their account, this is what he said to the ministers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard what my companion had to say. Now let's look squarely at the facts. Either a 14-year-old farm boy named Joseph Smith, saw and talked with God the Father and his son Jesus Christ in a grove of trees in upper New York state in 1820, or he did not.
"Either the Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph in 1823 and revealed the hiding place of the golden plates and provided a miraculous means for translate them into the Book of Mormon, or that didn't happen. The same is true for the ordinations of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to the Aaronic priesthood by John the Baptist and to the Melchidezek priesthood by Peter, James, and John – either it happened or it did not.
"And either this is the true church of Jesus Christ – the greatest truth since the mission of Jesus Christ himself – or it is all a lie. And I challenge each of you to learn more about the Church, to read and study the Book of Mormon and pray directly to God to know if it is true – as I know it is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
And he sat down.
Silence. . . Just continued silence. Not one of those hundred ministers spoke – or raised a question. What was left to be said after such a simple, but powerful, testimony?
Finally, the leader of the group stood and dismissed the meeting and everyone went home.
At first, I felt cheated at missing the opportunity to give my great speech to those ministers. Then I realized that this experience was as much for me as for them. I was humbled, especially as I felt prompted to read from a revelation from the Lord to the Prophet Joseph Smith:
"Wherefore, I the Lord, knowing the calamities which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth, called upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and spake unto him from heaven, and gave him commandments;
"And also gave commandments to others, that they should proclaim these things unto the world; and all this that it might be fulfilled, which was written by the prophets –
"The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh –
"That the fullness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers." (Doctrine & Covenants 1:17-19,23)
My measles was one of the great miracles of my mission.
All flesh is in thy hands – even this hornet.
By Jon M. Taylor
I once attended a sacrament meeting in North Salt Lake on a hot summer afternoon. The air conditioning was not working, so doors and windows were open to cool the chapel. During the sacrament, a hornet flew in and buzzed around the bishopric and speakers on the stand.
I watched as the hornet tormented these hapless people. Some were cowering in fear, while others were swatting with their hands or hymn books. It soon became obvious to all those attending that this was a disturbance that would not go away.
When the bishop rose to open the meeting, the insect got into the act and buzzed around him over and over. He tried to act unperturbed and continued his announcements while trying with one hand to divert the hornet away from the stand.
Then the song conductor rose to lead the opening song.. The hornet went right after her, and she was swatting away at the hornet while waving the baton – a comical scene for such a sacred occasion.
When the bishop rose again to give some announcements, he was greatly flustered and ineffective in communicating because of this trespasser. A shared feeling of discomfort and frustration seemed to envelope the whole congregation.
As I sat near the back corner on one side of the chapel, I witnessed this scene at first with amusement. However, my feelings turned to anxiety as the hornet became successful in driving the Spirit of the Lord from the meeting.
I began to feel indignant. Was not this the Lord's work? What right did this hornet have to disrupt the spirit of this sacred meeting? Yet the hornet could not understand the consequences of what it was doing, so something had to be done to stop it. But the individuals on the stand had tried in vain to fend off the intruder.
As these thoughts went through my mind, I began to pray in my heart that something would be done to allow the meeting to go on undisturbed. Then this scripture flashed through my mind: ". . . all flesh is in mine hands." (D&C 101:16) I also remembered Nephi's teaching that "the Lord giveth no commandments to the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." (INephi 3:7) We were attending sacrament meeting as commanded (D&C 59:9), so this hornet was literally interfering with our keeping a commandment of the Lord – at least with the proper spirit.
Another scripture came to mind. When Christ visited the Nephites after his resurrection, he promisted, "And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believeing ye shall recive, behold, it shall be given nto you." (3Nephi 18:20). What could be more right than to get rid of this hornet which was interfering with our sacrament service?
I felt I had my answer. Through faithful obedience the Lord can give us the power to overcome all things. (D&C 50:35) That would have to include this menacing intruder, blatantly disturbing the Lord's servants who were merely doing their duty. Again, since the Lord had said, "All flesh is in mine hands," that would have to include this hornet.
So I said a silent prayer to the Lord for help. The request seemed appropriate, for we were met to worship the Lord, and this interference was surely displeasing to Him.
I removed a handkerchief from my pocket, and held it cupped in my open hand, facing the stand. Then I silently prayed, "Heavenly Father, all flesh is in thy hands. Send that hornet to me, and I will take care of it."
Immediately the hornet left the stand and flew directly towards me – clear across the chapel to where I was seated. I quickly grabbed the hornet in my handkerchief, squeezed it firmly in my right hand, and placed the handkerchief in my pocket. The meeting went on, undisturbed by the hornet, which was now dead in my pocket.
The meeting went on, and the spirit of the Lord returned. I sat there, stunned at how literally the Lord keeps his promises. And my faith in the Lord's willingness to answer prayers – even for small but justified requests – was strengthened.
Other close calls
Saved from drowning
At about six years of age, I was playing at a beach on the ocean side of the San Francisco peninsula. Suddenly, a huge wave engulfed me, and I was swept out into the ocean by a powerful undercurrent. I recall that even at such a young age, my life flashed before me in seconds as I was certain that this was the end for me. Then, just as suddenly as the first wave that engulfed me, another wave caught me and washed me up on shore.
Hit by cars
At abut the age of seven, I tried to run across the street to escape friends who were chasing me. A car hit me and flung me back onto the sidewalk. And while riding my bicycle to delivering newspapers as a teenager in Fresno, California, I was hit broadside at an intersection by a fast-moving car. Neither of these collisions caused any injuries.
Close call with a train
As newspaper carriers for the San Francisco Chronicle, we would wait for bundles of papers to be thrown from a train at the train depot in Burlingame, California. After unwrapping the newspapers, I loved to lay the old newspapers they were wrapped in on the tracks so that they would be scattered to the wind when the next train came by (no concern for the environment)..
One day as I was carefully laying out the papers on one of he tracks, people at the station yelling and screaming at me to get off the tracks. I could see a train coming straight towards me, but on a different set of tracks, so I was not worried and continued methodically laying out the papers.
A loud train whistle alerted me to turn around and look behind me. The fast-moving Del Monte express train was heading straight toward me (in the other direction from the train I was watching) on the track on which I was standing, and it was only yards away from me. I am not a sprinter, but the speed at which I got off those tracks would have broken some kind of record. I was shaking so bad that I had to have another carrier fold my newspapers for me before delivering them.
Temporary foot paralysis prevented collision
Several years ago, while driving from the north towards our home in Bountiful, I took the 400 North exit off of the I-15 freeway. Driving south on 500 West, I stopped at a red light at 400 North. When the light turned green, I tried to proceed through the intersection, but could not apply any pressure to the gas pedal. It was as though my foot was paralyzed.
Suddenly, a car came racing through the intersection in front of me, apparently trying to beat the red light. Had I driven forward as intended, I probably would have been hit broadside.
Driving over a cliff – and a miraculous result
During November of 1956 I arranged for a ride to California with a couple from the University in their Triumph sports car. It was uncomfortable for three of us to find space in the tiny car, but we did it with me lying on an air mattress most of the time in a small compartment behind the seat. Eventually they let me set beside them of the front seat so I could enjoy the view. But with no radio, I soon fell asleep.
As we were driving over the Sierras through Echo Pass near Placerville, I suddenly awoke and looked up to see the driver's wife asleep – and the driver dozing also. I was alarmed to see that we were headed straight over a cliff.
I yelled, "Walt, hey, Walt!" He grabbed and turned the wheel, and instead of going straight over a cliff, we hit a heavy road guard stake. It snapped like a twig, and we went over.
Instead of falling to almost certain death, we stopped rather abruptly on the side of the mountain. We climbed out of the car very carefully to see what had kept us from going to the bottom of the ravine. The stake that the car had snapped off as we left the highway had fallen ahead of us and had been pounded deep into the ground by the car's falling upon it; and it had held the car on the side of the mountain and prevented us from falling further..
The couple I was with (neither were LDS) felt this was truly a miracle. We were able to get the car hauled to safer ground and then continue our journey. I had a splendid visit with my family in California – and was grateful to be alive.

Understanding hair science
If you are a young man you have probably never given your hair much thought. But as we age, hair tends to dominate our thoughts. In fact, as it starts to thin and fall out, we find ourselves quite desperate to maintain our luscious locks of youth.
To fully understand hair loss, we must first study the science of hair. From the structure to the growth cycle, hair is actually quite complex.
From the beginning
Just after the halfway point of a women's pregnancy (22 weeks), her developing fetus has already formed all of its hair follicles. And the amount of hair follicles that tiny human being has amassed is staggering – five million! More surprisingly, only about one hundred thousand of those follicles are on the scalp. The rest are distributed throughout the body – arms, legs, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.
Since humans do not obtain new hair follicles throughout their life, the amount a person is born with is the most they will ever have. Most people notice a decrease in density as they pass from childhood to adulthood. This isn't just an illusion; our scalps stretch as we age and our follicles move farther apart.
Hair has two distinct structures. The hair follicle resides in the skin. The shaft is visible above the scalp.
The hair follicle
The hair follicle is a tunnel-like organ that passes through the epidermis to the dermis layer of skin. The base of the follicle is filled with capillaries (tiny blood vessels) which nourish the hair cells. Cells in the hair follicle divide significantly faster than any other cell in the body (every 23 to 72 hours).
Connected to the hair follicles are sebaceous glands. These microscopic glands secrete an oily/waxy substance called sebum. Sebum is vital to hair health because it lubricates, conditions, and waterproofs the skin and hair. After puberty, sebum production spikes but then starts to decline as we age. Also, as our years progress, women produce much less sebum than men. Hair density also affects the amount of sebum; the thicker the hair, the more sebaceous gland present.
The hair shaft
The hair shaft consists of three layers – the medulla, cortex, and cuticle. All three layers are made of a hard protein called keratin.
The majority of the hair shaft is the cortex (middle) layer. The cuticle (outer) layer consists of shingle-like, overlapping scales. A hair's color is determined by the pigment stored in both the cortex and medulla (inner) layers.
The growth cycle of hair
Unlike other mammals, the hair growth cycle for humans is not seasonal. Our hair grows and sheds randomly. Also, there are three stages of hair growth: anagen, catagen, and telogen. At any moment, a random number of hairs will be in one of these three stages with all three stages being present at once. These length of time a hair remains in each phase can be affected by hair color and follicle shape.
The Anagen Phase
The anagen phase of hair growth is the active phase. During this phase, cells in root of the hair are working hard, dividing at an extremely rapid rate. As the new hair grows, it pushes out the club hair (a hair that previously sprouted out of the same follicle but has stopped growing).
The amount of time a hair spends in the anagen phase determines how long the hair is. Some people have difficulty growing their hair long; it seems to stop growing at a certain length. These people have a short active phase of growth. On the other hand, some people have very long hair because their anagen phase is much lengthier. Usually, scalp hair will remain in the anagen phase for two to six years and grow about 1cm every 28 days. Hair on other parts of the body – eyelashes, eyebrows, arms, legs – have a very short anagen phase. These hairs are only active for about 30 to 45 days, explaining why they are so much shorter than scalp hair.
The Catagen Phase
About three percent of all scalp hairs are in the catagen (transitional) phase at any given moment. Club hairs begin to form during this phase. Typically, the catagen phase lasts about two to three weeks.
The Telogen Phase
The telogen phase is the resting phase. About six to eight percent of all hairs are in the telogen phase. By this point in the growth cycle, the club hair is fully formed and growth is at a complete standstill. For hairs on the scalp, this phase will last about 100 days. Hairs on the eyebrows, eyelashes, arms and legs will be in the telogen phase much longer.
Hair loss
When a hair reaches the end of the growth cycle, it falls out. It is totally normal for about 25 to 100 telogen hairs to shed each day. When more than 100 hairs are lost, clinical hair loss may occur (referred to as telogen effluvium). Another type of hair loss is called anagen effluvium and happens when there is a disruption of hair growth during the anagen phase.
Understanding the different causes of hair loss is important when determining the correct hair restoration process. meeting with a restoration specialist for is important when deciding on a hair loss treatment plan.

Arizona Soccer Plays Host to Wildcat Invitational This Week
Aug. 27, 2002
Complete Release in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
WHAT'S HAPPENING: The University of Arizona women's soccer team (0-0-0 overall) will play host to Cal Poly, Detroit and Drake this weekend for the Wildcat Invitational. On Friday, Aug. 30, Cal Poly and Detroit will kick things off at 5 p.m., followed by Arizona and Drake at 7:30 p.m. The second day of action will be on Sunday, Sept. 1, with Drake taking on Detroit at 11 a.m., then Arizona plays Cal Poly at 2 p.m. All four matches will take place at Murphey Stadium (15th Street and Plumer Avenue).
SCOUTING ARIZONA: This year's Wildcat roster sports a total of 18 freshmen and sophomores, as opposed to only four juniors and seniors. The Cats return eight letterwinners, including six starters, from last season's 5-12-1 team. Included in that total are the year's top three scorers, who accounted for 60% of the offense on a squad that set a new school record for single season scoring. Adding to that mix will be a pair of redshirt freshmen, 10 true freshmen and two transfers.
Headlining the list of returnees are senior midfielder Naomi Chu (Thousand Oaks, Calif./Westlake HS), senior defender Tymarie Novak (Orange, Calif./Rosary Catholic HS), sophomore defender Lindsey Peeples (Arcadia, Calif. HS), sophomore forward Candice Wilks (Altadena, Calif./LaSalle HS) and sophomore Vanesha Bailey (Las Vegas, Nev./Cimarron-Memorial HS), who has been moved from the front to the backfield this season.
Wilks was Arizona's top scorer as a freshman last year, tallying eight goals and three assists (19 points) while starting all 18 matches. Bailey was second on the scoring chart with six goals and a team-high five assists (17 points), followed by sophomore Cassie Daniels' four goals and four assists (12 points). Daniels is redshirting this year after tearing her ACL during spring play.
A big question mark for the Cats is who the starting goalkeeper will be this fall. Redshirt freshman Natalie Juarez (Claremont, Calif. HS) transferred to the UA from UC Riverside, where she sat out the remainder of last year after breaking her leg in her third appearance of the season. The other candidate is true freshman Amanda Martin (Franklin, Tenn. HS), who was a three-time All-Tennessee selection during her career and tallied 13 shutouts as a senior last year.
SCOUTING DRAKE: A first-year women's soccer program, Drake is starting everything from scratch this year with first-year head coach Corbin Stone (Augustana [Ill.], 1989) at the reins.
The Bulldogs were shutout, 4-0, by visiting Nebraska-Omaha in an exhibition game at home last Saturday. Freshman goalkeeper Kate Stack had seven saves while playing all 90 minutes in the nets for Drake, and rookie midfielder Andrea Schmitz notched a team-high four shots.
SCOUTING CAL POLY: Eighteen letterwinners and nine starters return for Cal Poly from last year's 7-9-4 club that finished fourth in the Big West with a 4-3-2 conference mark.
Senior forward Megan Schlegel was Cal Poly's top scorer last season, racking up 93 shots, six goals and two assists (14 points). Other key returnees include sophomore midfielder Megan Gurney (1 goal, 3 assists, 5 points) and senior defender Brooke Flamson (1 goal, 2 points).
Head coach Alex Crozier (Cal Poly, 1984) is entering his 11th season at the helm of his alma mater's program, sporting a 121-63-15 mark with the Mustangs.
THE SERIES vs. CAL POLY: Cal Poly won the only previous meeting with Arizona, 5-1, on Oct. 14, 1995, in a neutral contest played in San Diego, Calif.
SCOUTING DETROIT: The Titans wrapped up the 2001 season with an 8-11-0 overall mark and finished tied for third in the Horizon League with a 3-3-0 conference record. Fourteen letterwinners, including nine starters, return for UDM this year.
Senior midfielder Tanya Tiselj is Detroit's top returning scorer. She was second on the team last year with seven goals and five assists (19 points). Also returning is the team's third-leading scorer last year, sophomore midfielder Judith Atwood, who had four goals and three assists (11 points). Sophomore goalkeeper Alisson Dube played every minute in the nets for the Titans last season, notching 94 saves, five shutouts and a 1.89 goals-against average.
In his 10th year with the Titans, head coach Mike Lupenec (Oakland, 1986) holds a 90-79-4 record at Detroit.
LAST TIME OUT: Playing a match of three 30-minute periods, Arizona fell to Texas-El Paso, 6-2, in an exhibition game at home last Thursday night.
The Cats' prospects looked good early on, as sophomore defender Lindsey Peeples connected on a header from a corner kick by freshman midfielder Jennifer Klein (Prescott, Ariz. HS) in the sixth minute. Nine minutes later, UTEP tied the score at 1-1, then went ahead by one just six minutes after that.
Junior transfer Lindsey Greenwood (Bettendorf, Iowa/Pleasant ValleyHS) evened the score for the Wildcats in the 41st minute, sending a shot over the UTEP goalkeeper's head from about 15 yards out. Jennifer Klein was credited with the assist on this goal as well, with her free kick setting up Greenwood's tally.
Arizona held UTEP off for another 20 minutes, then the Miners began a scoring barrage, notching four goals in a 13-minute period. As a team, Arizona had the 13-10 edge in shots for the match, although UTEP had eight shots on-goal versus the UA's seven.
Lindsey Greenwood finished the contest with a team-best three shots on-goal for Arizona. All three of her attempts were right on the money, but the final two were stifled by UTEP's goalkeepers. Freshman Mallory Miller (Tucson, Ariz./Salpointe Catholic HS) also had three shots, while fellow freshman Lisa Kosena (Englewood, Colo./Cherry Creek HS) had two shots.
WILDCAT RECRUITING CLASS RANKED AMONG BEST IN REGION: The 2002 UA women's soccer recruiting class has been ranked 17th in the West Region by Soccer Buzz Magazine. That's outstanding when you consider the caliber of women's soccer programs in this region. Every Pac-10 school's recruiting class made the regional top 20 list.
CATS LOSE LIZ BARTLETT: Due to chronic illness, junior forward Liz Bartlett (Dove Canyon, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic HS) has decided to take a permanent medical hardship and will no longer be playing for the Wildcats. She will, however, still participate in the team's community service projects.
After being one of the UA's top scorers in each of her first two seasons, Bartlett finishes her career as Arizona's fifth-leading scorer all time. She started all 36 of the matches she played in and missed only two matches in her two seasons at the UA. Bartlett collected 76 shots, 10 goals and two assists (22 points) during her brief Arizona career.
LOOKING AHEAD: After the two opening dates at home, the Wildcats will play five of their next six matches away from Tucson. The Cats will hit the road for the first time next weekend, playing at the Iowa State Cyclone Classic. Arizona will face Wisconsin on Friday, Sept. 6, at 2 p.m. CDT and then will play Northern Iowa on Sunday, Sept. 8, at 11 a.m. CDT.
The Cats remain on the road the following weekend, playing at Oklahoma on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 1 p.m. CDT.
ARIZONA HEAD COACH CATHY KLEIN: Third-year head coach Cathy Klein (SUNY-Cortland, 1987) holds an 8-27-3 mark at the helm of the Arizona program. She has a Division I career record of 65-68-4 over six years and is 87-121-9 in 11 years as a head coach.
Klein was named as the Wildcats' new head coach in January, 2000. She came to the UA after a five-year stint building a new women's soccer program at Iowa State. In four varsity seasons with the Cyclones, Klein garnered a 43-37-1 mark. Before Iowa State, Klein was head coach at Creighton and Division III schools Earlham College and Utica College.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: In her third season at the UA, Melissa Estrada (Creighton, 1995) followed Cathy Klein from Iowa State, where Estrada was part of Klein's coaching staff for four years. She assists with recruiting and works with the field players.
Assistant coach Casey Mann (Grand View College, 1997) is in his second season with the Wildcats. His primary responsibility at the UA is coaching the goalkeepers.
ABOUT THE SCHEDULE: Ten home dates, including two tournaments, highlight the 2002 Arizona schedule. Of the 20 teams featured on this year's slate, eight competed in last season's NCAA tournament and six were either nationally ranked or receiving votes at the end of the 2001 season.
The Wildcats will officially kick off the 2002 season on Friday, Aug. 30, and Sunday, Sept. 1, playing host to Cal Poly, Detroit and Drake for the Wildcat Invitational. The following weekend, Cathy Klein heads back to Ames, Iowa, to take part in the Iowa State Tournament on Friday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 8. The Wildcats will take on Wisconsin in the first game on Sept. 6, then they face Northern Iowa in Sunday's action.
Three of the Cats' next four games will be on the road, as they are scheduled to play at Oklahoma on Sept. 15, at home against San Diego on Sept. 22, then at Belmont (Sept. 27) and at Kentucky (Sept. 29). Arizona returns to Tucson for its second home tournament of the season, the Arizona Tournament, on Friday, Oct. 4, and Sunday, Oct. 6. Saint Louis, Idaho State and Youngstown State will visit the Old Pueblo for the tourney action.
Pac-10 play begins on Friday, Oct. 11, for the Wildcats as they head up to Tempe to take on rival Arizona State. A home weekend against UCLA (Oct. 18) and USC (Oct. 20) follows, then the UA goes north to play at Oregon (Oct. 25) and Oregon State (Oct. 27).
Arizona's final two home matches of the 2002 season will be against Washington (Nov. 1) and Washington State (Nov. 3). The Cats will end regular season action in the Bay Area, playing at California on Nov. 8 and at Stanford on Nov. 10.
2001 IN REVIEW: It was a team and a season dominated by Wildcat youngsters. Thirteen freshmen and sophomores played prominent roles for the 2001 Arizona women's soccer team, helping the Wildcats to 5-12-1 overall and 2-7-0 Pac-10 records. The Cats surpassed the 2000 season win total, and they had more Pac-10 wins than any team since 1997.
After a close 4-2 loss at then-No. 5 Nebraska to open the season on Aug. 31, the Wildcats returned home to post a perfect 3-0-1 mark, giving the team its best start ever. That stretch included an astounding 9-1 victory over Southern Utah on Sept. 9, a game in which the Cats set six school records.
A six-game road trip followed, with several close losses, then Arizona came back to Tucson for its first-ever sweep of the Oregon schools. Playing three nationally ranked teams in their final five matches, the Cats were again edged out of the victory column.
Arizona set or tied 23 school records during the season, including most goals in a season (30), most assists in a season (20), most total points (80) and most corner kicks (87). The Cats finished regular season play as the Pac-10 leader in saves (117).
INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE CATS: Three freshmen led the way for Arizona in scoring last season. Forward Candice Wilks racked up the highest individual goal total in six years when she tallied eight goals and three assists (19 points). Midfielder Vanesha Bailey was just one assist shy of the school record with her team-leading five dishes. She collected six goals and five assists for 17 points, finishing second on the scoring chart.
Rookie midfielder Cassie Daniels was third in scoring with four goals and four assists (12 points), and sophomore Liz Bartlett had five goals and one assist (11 points), the same line she posted in 2000.
In the nets, senior goalkeeper Shannon Monti played 1653 minutes, the second-highest single season minute total for any keeper in school history. She tallied 108 saves, a 2.07 goals against average and one shutout.
Wilks was the only player to earn all-conference honors, as she was named honorable mention All-Pac-10.
TOP SINGLE SEASON PERFORMANCES: Candice Wilks' eight goals was the third-highest single-season goal total in the program's history, and her 19 points tied for third on the single season points list. Wilks' 48 shots was also the eighth-highest single-season total ever.
Vanesha Bailey had five assists on the season, third on the single season top performances list and just one off the school record of six set in 1996 and tied in 1998. Bailey's six goals last year tied her for eighth on the single season top performances list in that category.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Murphey Stadium was very good to the Wildcats last year, as they garnered a best-ever 5-3-1 mark there during the season. The Cats out-scored opponents, 25-16, in home games last year and out-shot opponents, 167-133.
SCORING IN BUNCHES: Then-freshman forward Candice Wilks had eight goals last season, but she notched them all in only five games. She ran off three goals against Southern Utah on Sept. 7, 2001, dented the net twice against UNLV on Sept. 23, then had one goal each against Oregon (Oct. 19) and Oregon State (Oct. 21). She scored one goal in the season finale against Arizona State (Nov. 9).
CONSISTENT CONTRIBUTOR: Then-midfielder Vanesha Bailey scored or assisted at least one goal in 10 of last season's 18 matches.
ON LOCATION: The Wildcats were 5-3-1 at home last season, 0-9-0 on the road and 0-0-0 in neutral games.
TWICE IS NICE: Traditionally, the Cats have fared rather well when scoring two or more goals in a match. They scored two or more in eight of last season's 18 games and went 5-2-1 when doing so. Over the eight years of Wildcat soccer, the UA has a 33-19-2 record when scoring two goals or more.
CLOSE BUT...: The outcome of six of the Wildcats' 18 games last season were decided by one goal or less. In the eight-year history of the Arizona soccer program, 61 matches have been decided by that one-goal-or-less differential.
CAT SCRATCHES: Arizona had a 5-0 record last year when holding the opponent to one or fewer goals... The Cats were 3-0 when scoring three or more goals... They were also 4-0 when they out-shot their opponents.

The demand for jobs in the Transport & Logistics sector(s) which require ever increasing levels of qualification is growing. Additionally, national dynamics tend to extend to the European level: standardisation and certification, cooperation and coordination through social dialogue and exchange of common approaches, tools, and standards across different fields and Member States.
The ETL4ALL project (European transparent Transport and Logistics EQF level 4 qualifications for All) responds to these developments by ensuring that Transport & Logistics EQF level 4 qualifications are available in the four partner countries (France, Belgium, Italy and Spain) and subsequently in other European countries as well, and by making them compatible with the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET).
The main results will be shared references (job profiles, occupational standards and competence standards) for EQF level 4 qualifications in Transport & Logistics as well as mobility tools to support learner and staff mobility at this level. Finally, a mobility network will be created and integrated into the existing EQF level 5 mobility network NETINVET.

Dinner for Two
I love to sit down at the end of the day to a home cooked meal. Day-to-day cooking gets me down sometimes but I am fortunate in that my spouse and I share responsibilities. Sometimes I cook, sometimes he cooks and sometimes we cook together. Chopping, slicing, and other preparatory work doesn't feel like work when accompanied by conversation. And a few sips of wine help too ;-).

Vietnam's green rice paddies come home in this fresh, good looking, easy meal with meat, rice and fresh veggies. I've used chicken keema but you can use any other kind of keema and if you can't find lettuce, just use the most tender leaves of cabbage.
Verry good. Will make for Diwali also. - 13 Oct 2010
This is awesome, fun, and healthy! The only change I made was that instead of making the meatballs, I simply browned and crumbled the meat in a frying pan, drained the fat, then added the soy, garlic and ginger and sautéed for another 2 minutes. We ran out of lettuce near the end, so we wrapped some of the rolls in rice paper wrappers, which was also delicious (and easier and less messy to eat). Next time I think that we will wrap them all in rice paper, and add shredded lettuce to the rolls. A must try! - 06 Feb 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Great recipe! Instead of making meatballs, I browned the ground beef, added 1 cup of the already cooked rice and poured the sauce over the meat and rice. I also added about a teaspoon of hot chili oil for a little kick. I have eight children and they all loved it. The hot meat mixture in the cool lettuce leaves is wonderful! - 13 Nov 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

The presentation focused on the results of the working visit of the UPM team in Barcelona as an example of good practice. Moreover the students participating in the event "Spread the Art of Going Up - STARTUP WEEKEND" had the possibility to express their opinions and impressions about the activity they took part in and their needs in terms of starting a business.
The conference was attended by a total of 11 participants, among whom there were representatives of the local authorities, entrepreneurs, managers, press representatives and students (participants in the Startup weekend). The mixed profile of the participants significantly contributed in the discussion on the possibility of achieving collaboration between local authorities, academic and business environment to support entrepreneurship and young entrepreneurs.
