This article was published in a network of 40 newspapers from São Paulo and 60 others from other states
I, reasonable Fernando Jorge, will present here fourteen pieces of advice to smart pre-corpse Michel Temer, President. Yes, we are both pre-corpses, for we are both in almost identical range of advanced age. Lady Death spies on us with special attention. Suddenly, bam!, she will grab our carcase, throwing us into a grave or a crematory. Therefore, of course, I ask Michel Temer, pre-corpse colleague, the favor to accept now my advice, before acquiring the aspect of a melancholic or humorous corpse.
First advice. Remain calm, Mr. President, for having been mentioned four times in the "Lava Jato (Car Wash) Operation" investigation. Keep on firm, serene, in spite of the fact that your name appeared twenty-one times, between the years of 1996 and 1998, on the charts confiscated by the Federal Police in one of Camargo Correa (construction company) executive's house. My pre-corpse colleague's name always stands out in such charts, along with an amount of money that adds up over 340,000USD.
Second advice. Show nerve control, pre-corpse colleague, for Romero Jucá from PMDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement Party), Planning Minister, your right arm, one of your main articulators, responds to a criminal investigation in both "Lava Jato" and "Zelotes".
Third advice. Smile, pre-corpse colleague, before the accusations against Henrique Eduardo Alves, also from PMDB and Minister of Turism. This affable collaborator of Your Highness, is under inquiry at "Lava Jato Operation", authorized by the Supreme Court, in order to investigate the bribe given to his campaign, Eduardo Alves', to the state government in Rio Grande do Norte state.
Fourth advice. Ignore, pre-corpse colleague, the accusations to Geddel Vieira Lima, also from PMDB, Chief-Minister of your government's bureau. Look at this man's energetic, grim face. He, according to Federal Police's report, allowed the construction company OAS to use, in spurious way, his influence as a congressman in several public institutions.
Fifth advice. Give a lengthy hug, pre-corpse colleague, to Osmar Terra, Minister of Social and Agricultural Development, from the same PMDB, the cleanest political party in Brazil. What an insolence, the Court of Auditors of Rio Grande do Sul state dared point irregularities in Osmar's office, both in Secretary of Health and in the City Hall of Santa Rosa, and sentenced him to pay a high fine!
Sixth advice. Mortgage sympathy, pre-corpse colleague, to Minister Blairo Maggi, of Agriculture. Blairo, of PP (Progressive Party), is a victim of two public civic accusations, for administrative improbity, both made by the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso do Sul state.
Seventh advice. Shake the honest hand, pre-corpse colleague, of your Minister Mendonça Filho, of Education and Culture, from DEM (Democrats). He was the target of the seventh phase of "Lava Jato Operation", under the accusation of having received 250,000BRL in bribes from the construction companies Odebrecht and Queiroz Galvão.
Eigth advice. Kiss the lips, pre-corpse colleague, and cuddle lengthily, tickling the hairy armpits of Minister Gilberto Kassab, of Science, Technology, and Communications, member of PSD (Social Democrat Party). Kassab is a defendant in an action of administrative improbity. The São Paulo state Court of Law dares assert: this former mayor of the capital city of São Paulo did not stop, in a market, the charge of bribes.
Ninth advice. Pronounce a speech, pre-corpse colleague, in defense of José Serra, from PSDB (Brazilian Democrat Social Party), your Minister of Foreign Affairs, mentioned on the list of Odebrecht's beneficiaries, violated the Municipal Organic Law when he was elected mayor in São Paulo city. He did not properly grant the pay raise to municipal public workers. During his mandate, he showed scandalous administrative improbity.
Tenth advice. Offer a cup of vitamins, pre-corpse colleague, as a gesture of admiration and friendship, to Ricardo Barros, of PP (Progressive Party), your Minister of Health. Ricardo's name is on the Odebrecht's list. Federal Police investigate him on three little things, only: passive corruption, embezzlement, and fraud on bidding to advertising services destined to Maringá City Hall. All favoring the company "Meta Propaganda".
Eleventh advice. Send, pre-corpse colleague, a music CD containing songs by the accordion player Luiz Gonzaga, "King of Baião (kind of Brazilian folk music)", to Sarney Filho, from PV (Green Party), you Minister of Environment. Little Sarney, or better, Big Sarney, had to pay a really high fine under accusation of dishonest political advertisement, a penalty determined by the Federal Public Ministry.
Twelfth advice. Give as a gift, a very expensive brand new latest design car, pre-corpse colleague, to Maurício Quintella, from PR (Party of Republic), your Minister of Transportation. Sweet creature, with his gentle eyes, Maurício, poor thing, was convicted for administrative improbity, damage to the public treasury, and unlawful enrichment. He is currently a target in the inquiry investigating embezzlement.
Thirteenth advice. Protest violently, pre-corpse colleague, against Helder Barabalho's accusations, also from super-ethical PMDB, your Minister of National Integration. Our unfair Justice accuses him of administrative improbity during his office as a mayor in the town of Ananindeua, Pará state. According to that Justice, Helder diverted resources from SUS (Unified Health System).
Fourteenth advice. Do not hide your profound admiration, pre-corpse colleague, for Moreira Franco, from the unpolluted PMDB, your Special Investment Secretary. On 27 April-1998, the Federal Supreme Court convicted the former Rio de Janeiro state governor for harmful act against public patrimony. He used citizens' money to print the book "Moreira Franco, ele governou para todos" (Moreira Franco, he governed for all), a volume containing 274 pages, 180 color photographs and an edition of 50 thousand units. Justice obliged him to return an amount equivalent to 150 thousand US dollars, for noncompliance to the Article 37 of the State Constitution, which forbids self-promotion of the administrator in publicity of actions and public works.
Finally, I, writer Fernando Jorge, modest pre-corpse, enthusiastically greet pre-corpse Michel Temer for the fortunate, really clever choice of his ministers. Congratulations, president, thousands of congratulations to you! What a fair, sensate, insightful, spirit of your highness'! And note, I am moved, a warm, candid, and luminous tear drop slides down my pale patriotic pre-corpse's face…

Blaine semi driver crashes near Hoodsport, blocking highway for 8 hours
A Blaine semi driver crashed into a ditch off Highway 101 in Mason County on Wednesday morning, Jan. 28, leading state troopers to shut down the highway for almost eight hours.
Sergey Kirichkov, 52, reached for something in the cab of the red '09 Freightliner tractor at 5:04 a.m. while driving southbound on Highway 101 about 10 miles north of Hoodsport, according to the Washington State Patrol. The truck drifted onto the shoulder, then crashed into the ditch.
Kirichkov, who had a seat belt on, wasn't hurt. The trailer, however, was totaled, and the tractor needed to be towed to an impound yard. Meanwhile the highway was blocked for 7 hours and 50 minutes.
The cause of the crash was listed as "distracted driving," and Kirichkov was ticketed for driving with his wheels off the road, according to the state patrol.
Last week another Blaine man, Andrey Sergeyvich Kirichkov, was arrested on suspicion of the fatal hit and run of a bicyclist. Charging papers state that the truck Andrey Kirichkov was driving that evening had been registered to his father, Sergey, who was out-of-state at the time.

Dir. Xu Bing. China, 2017, 79 mins.
Celebrated Chinese artist Xu Bing turns his mind to cinema in Dragonfly Eyes, loading his 79-minute film with thoughts, sounds and images gleaned entirely from surveillance cameras and live streaming sites in China. He's grafted a narrative onto the footage, but nothing is conventional here. Dragonfly Eyes is quietly disturbing, filled with unease and malaise but also rich in poetry: it's a provocative film for our times which marries conceptual art with cinema in a fresh and unusual way.
Without actor or actress, could the best performance be done by you?
While many films have sought to use, or have been set in the world of surveillance footage, Dragonfly Eyes uses it to work fitfully through an unsettling modern-day parable. Superb editing and sound design combine to create a collage, but one that's delivered with a tense rhythm, the story ebbing and flowing, occasionally stopping completely for a skipped heartbeat. It's a meta exercise, certainly, but aside from its coda Dragonfly Eyes is uneasily transfixing. A competition berth at Locarno should certainly be followed by further festival exposure and museum opportunities in the way of other influential film artists such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
Editor Matthieu Laclau and composer Yoshihiro Hano both worked on Jia Zhangke's Mountains May Depart, and there are hints of "reality" here which mirror Jia's fiction, in particular a restaurant sequence where the staff begin to dance in formation. A theme park seems to arrive as a nod to The World.
The poet Zhai Yongming wrote the screenplay in an organic process where the footage also dictates what happens next. Dragonfly Eyes, which features a computerised voice speaking in English, starts out with an accidental drowning, then moves over to a Buddhist temple, alternating between calm chanting and abrasive construction as the story starts to swim into view.
Qing Ting ('Dragonfly', in Chinese) is a young nun who decides to leave the sanctuary of the monastery; alarming footage of a sudden plane crash is interrupted when the film cuts to black and re-starts in a milking factory, where cows are tethered to a giant wheel. Qing Ting confesses to co-worker Ke Fan that she'd like to set one of the animals free. A cow wanders down a road in the dark, there's a runaway digger, stampedes, accidents. She re-emerges in a dry cleaning shop. Ke Fan pursues – stalks? – her. Thus begins a pull-and-push relationship, doused with footage from all over China, flashing and buzzing, the sound and score moving to the beat of mouse clicks. Surveillance footage is captured at a lop-sided angle, slashing diagonals ratcheting up the tension.
Themes begin to emerge, of savage moments and loss of identity. Lightning strikes a car. Boiling water is poured over a woman in a restaurant, while an incident of road rage escalates to terrifying heights. The issue of appearance become a motif: "Would you like someone prettier to take your order?" asks a waitress. Then it's a matter of transformation: change your mind or change your face, we're told. Fake reality or reality becomes fake. Ke Fan becomes convinced that Qing Ting is now video livestreamer Xiao Xiao, as Dragonfly Eyes reverses into itself and faces become indistinguishable. Who are we, really?
At the outset, Xu Bing recalls how he first wanted to mount a project like Dragonfly Eyes back in 2013, but the lack of available footage set him back. Now, the proliferation of surveillance cameras and live streaming captured in the cloud database means footage is everywhere. "Without actor or actress, could the best performance be done by you?" he asks. Ultimately, Dragonfly Eyes is conceptual art come to film, forcing the viewer into its train of thought, pushing a perpetually reflective mosaic mirror of self. The score is uncannily symbiotic to this discomfort, whether it be Chinese pop ballards, electronic Moroder-ish beats or more conventional laments.

Art For Every Girl
Opening Reception: Wednesday, October 24, 6:30 p.m.
Exhibition dates: October 17 – December 19, 2018
Join us for the reception of "Art for Every Girl", an upcoming gallery exhibition at Harpeth Hall celebrating author Kate T. Parker's visit to campus and featuring female artists from across the country excelling in a variety of mediums.
"Art for Every Girl" is an upcoming gallery exhibition at Harpeth Hall that draws inspiration from author Kate T. Parker who will be discussing her exciting new book "Strong is the New Pretty: A Celebration of Girls Being Themselves" on campus this fall. This exhibit will feature work created by female artists from around the country, and like Parker's book, each piece will be accompanied by a quote from the artist as well as a short biography. This exhibition is a showcase of nationally, and internationally recognized artists who have excelled in varied disciplines, including portraiture, collage, and sign painting. "Art for Every Girl" is designed to show our students that as artists we are not limited to traditional artistic mediums and that creative expression comes in many forms.

Top five street-style trends from #MBFWA
Whilst all eyes were glued to the #MBFWA catwalk, our peepers were peeled for the latest street-style trends to trot-trot through the Carriagework doors.
Much like us, Aussie IT girl Lianna Perdis (and eldest daughter of famed makeup guru Napoleon Perdis) also watched each and every show, picking up on all the freshest looks off the runway. Here are some of her fave...
The bomber has recently taken over the fash-world, but this year, there's a twist in the form of unusual colours, oversized silhouettes and loads of feminine embroidery. According to Lianna, this piece takes pride in her wardrobe.
"These luxe jackets make casual cool and are a definite staple in my wardrobe," says Lianna.
Whilst white on white is alright on the night (yep, we did that), wearing several 'shades' of white in one, single outfit is what works for us. And whilst most people assume that it's stereotypically a summery trend, all-white outfits can be transitioned for the cooler months with a heavier coat in cream (for example).
"I love the fresh, clean and modern look of white on white #Perfection!" she adds.
What's black, white and chic all over? Monochrome, that's what.
The simplicity of this combo makes it a timeless classic, which is probs why it dominated the MBFWA front-row this week. Whether it's prints, stripes or colour-blocking, there's none of the worry of wearing colours that don't compliment each other, in addition to the possibility of throwing in a pop of colour via red lippy, statement necklace or a metallic clutch (for an extra touch!)
"Monochrome is such a classic and timeless look that never goes out of style," Lianna says.
We've got to admit - this trend makes our feet weep for joy (and our six-inch stilettos weep in sadness as they've been officially SWAPPED). Whilst your honest-to-god, high-top, low-top, lace-up kicks might look more "sport" than "sporte luxe" on their own, paired with a floaty, feminine frock they're high-fash royalty.
"I'm obsessed with this combo as it it's the perfect mix of a masculine and feminine style," Lianna adds.
Forget the side vs centre-part debate; smooth, slicked-back locks are the new thing. While Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian each tried out the wet effect (which you can totally give a go), many trendsetter's from #MBFWA rocked a less structural backwards swoop... and we're absolutely loving the lengthy 'do.
"Wow this is H-O-T! It's cool, edgy and totally chic love, love, love!!" Lianna says.

The Winds of Change
My mind feels mangled. It's been one of those slightly surreal weekends where nothing fits with reality, and yet at the same time everything feels very real and chaotic. Hours passed by in a blur, and frantic conversations dwelt on plans for the future. Somehow, when events in the wider world occur that shock us, we begin to consider our own approach to living, and whether we've got it right. Striving for a simpler lifestyle has been at the forefront of our minds for some time, but now more than ever there's the desire to hide away and live segregated from a harsh reality. Of course, that's neither possible nor practical, yet this urge is, for us at least, indicative of a disconnect with the masses that has been building for a while. It seemed only apt, then, that this weekend - despite being the windiest of the year so far - was earmarked for putting up the bell tent.
We picked up our new Frontier stove first thing on Saturday morning, and I felt a thrill of excitement knowing it would soon be our source of warmth and our sole method of cooking. After setting it alight outside to make sure all was as it should be, we set to work trying to decipher the instructions for the tent. Thankfully, it was relatively straightforward, and before we knew it our new home was formed. We peeked our noses in through the doorway and exchanged bewildered glances; on first inspection it looked very small. But once we got inside it felt quite spacious - helped, to a large extent, by the ability to stand up in the centre.
We left it overnight to battle the elements; unsurprisingly the guy ropes were flapping wildly in the wind when we returned the following morning to check if it had survived the night. The pegs that came with the tent are evidently not designed to withstand such conditions, and although disappointing, Dan is convinced that the new pegs he has ordered will do the job. I shall wait with bated breath. It's important with canvas tents to allow them to stand for a while and shrink slightly before moving in (this happens when it rains), as this allows any spots for leakage to close up - or at least that's the idea. So stand it will without occupants for a little while yet.
Meanwhile, packing is becoming a hellish process. There are boxes everywhere, and Bella doesn't know what to make of it all. I'm lighting candles and keeping the kitchen box-free in a desperate attempt to still regain some sense of calm, but I doubt it will last long. I find myself hoping not to hear a knock at the door for fear our pyramids of cardboard boxes and piles of packing material will engulf the visitor; so far we've been lucky.
The wedding seems aeons ago. After the initial flurry of photographs and cards the dust has settled and we're almost back to normal. It's strange though; I do feel as though we're more of a team now, as if we can face anything together, and on evenings when everything gets a bit much, we think back to the memories and everything shines just that little bit brighter.
In many ways we're starting afresh, taking our first steps as a married couple, taking those first steps to begin a new adventure, walking hesitantly and with trepidation, and while I'd hardly recommend doing everything at once as we seem to do frequently in our lives, it's invigorating nevertheless.
When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.

3 Treatments to Relieve Heartburn
That burning sensation in your chest after eating a heavy meal is unpleasant at best. At worse, it may even feel like a heart attack. Heartburn is a form of indigestion, pain typically felt in the stomach due to difficulty with digestion. Heartburn is caused by acid regurgitation of food into the esophagus.
Once you figure out that your problem is indigestion, specifically heartburn, it is time to figure out a treatment plan. There are a variety of different treatment methods that can be successful.
Life Style Changes
The first thing you need to look at when trying to alleviate heartburn symptoms is your diet. If you are eating spicy foods or foods high in acid, such as orange juice or tomato sauce, this may be part of the problem. You should try to avoid these. Additionally, you should try eating smaller meals, especially in the evenings. You should try to cut back or eliminate caffeine and alcohol as these can exacerbate symptoms. If you smoke, it is a good idea to quit, not only to help with heartburn, but your overall health depends upon it. Finally, if you are overweight, losing even a few pounds can go a long way in lessening the symptoms of heartburn.
Try Medications
If lifestyle changes do not seem to alleviate your symptoms, it may be time to check with your doctor. Nonetheless, there are still several over-the-counter medications that you can try while you are waiting for an appointment.
Antacids are normally the first medicine to try. These common remedies contain calcium, magnesium, or aluminum that help to neutralize the acid in the stomach. They tend to work best for occasional heartburn rather than a chronic problem.
The next course of action may be to try acid blockers. These medications block the amount of stomach acid that is being produced. They do not work as quickly as antacids, but they last longer and can provide relief if taken regularly. Many are also available in prescription strength for more severe cases.
Finally, proton-pump inhibitors shut down the production of acid in the stomach, reducing levels dramatically. These are best taken an hour before meals. Some are available in an over-the-counter strength and more are available by prescription from your doctor. These are the strongest of the three types of medicine, and they are often prescribed when there are erosions in the stomach or esophagus.
Alternative Medicine
For those that choose to try alternative methods of relieving heartburn pain, there are some tried and true methods. The first one is to mix a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water and drink it. Because the baking soda is a base, meaning its pH is higher than seven, it will help neutralize the acid in your stomach.
Next, some people like to use aloe vera juice to relieve heartburn. While most people think of aloe as something to soothe sunburn, it can also soothe your stomach and esophagus. You can find aloe vera juice in your grocery store. Remember to drink a half cup before meals, but do not drink too much as it can also have a laxative effect.
Heartburn gets worse at night when you lay down. This is because gravity is no longer helping to keep the stomach acid down in your stomach where it belongs. Using a wedge shaped pillow to prop your upper body when sleeping may be helpful to some sufferers. Others may put blocks under the legs at the head of the bed to prop the entire bed.
Whatever methods you try, it is important to keep heartburn under control so that it does not damage the lining of your esophagus or stomach. If the heartburn is chronic, it is also important to visit your doctor as further testing may be required to determine the most effective treatments.

Spheres of the Hospitality Industry
Broadly speaking, the hospitality industry can be categorised into three spheres namely: 'Food and Beverage', 'Accommodations', and 'Travel and Tourism'. By it's very definition, the hospitality industry is all about the business of customer service and gracious entertainment. This is carried out through the main three aforementioned arteries of the industry.
Read on to get a brief understanding of the three wings of hospitality if you're keen on signing up for hospitality management courses –or simply for a better understanding of the world of hospitality!
- Food and Beverage
Since times immemorial, the word hospitality has been associated with food and beverage. And so, the food and beverage industry forms the crux of the hospitality industry –be it a small food truck or a 5-star restaurant. A spectrum of services comes under this section of the industry. Moreover, it can also go hand in hand with other spheres of hospitality. Training from hospitality management courses can equip one to enter the food and beverage industry, and cater (literally and metaphorically) to impeccable customer service.
- Accommodation
Yet another integral aspect of hospitality is that of accommodation. Whether it's a chain of 5-star hotels, a bed and breakfast, luxury resorts, or simple old motels, accommodation is at the heart of all hospitality. Efficient, prompt, thoughtful and attentive customer care forms the basis of all hospitality. You may attend a hotel management college to learn the various aspects of the management of such establishments and enter the field of hotel management.
- Travel and Tourism
While food and beverage and accommodation form important segments of the hospitality industry, that's not all there is to it. When it comes to travel and tourism, transportation plays a key role. From taxis to airplanes, trains and ships –transportation is essential to enable and propagate tourism, thereby earning a central role in the hospitality industry.

Home News
The City of Fort Collins' Old Town and Civic Center parking structures will have updated technology beginning January 2, 2019. These additions will provide patrons with a more cohesive, easier and predictable experience when parking downtown.
For permit parking, patrons must update permit information with Parking Services by visiting fcgov.com/parking/permits. Once your information has been updated, your license plate will serve as your permit and you may come and go as you please.
For hourly parking, patrons must pre-pay for the time expected to be in the parking structure. You may pay via pay stations in the structure or by using the FC Parking app. Both methods can provide a warning when your time is almost expired, and you can extend your stay by text message (with debit/credit card use at the pay stations) or with the FC Parking App.
The FC Parking app, available on the iPhone App Store and Google Play Store, shows availability of parking spaces and allows the user to pay for parking directly through the app. After downloading the app and creating an account, you may start a parking session and track payments, manage multiple vehicles, and receive reminders when your parking session is low.
For more information on the updates to parking structures and the FC Parking app, visit fcgov.com/parking/downtown.

March Pick-Me-Ups/
March can be a bit of a downer. The weather's weird. On Tuesday it was in the 70s, but there's snow in the forecast this weekend. Nothing is in season. There's only so many bananas a girl can eat, and berry and stone fruit seasons are still a few months out. Finally, even with more daylight in the evenings, I find the dark mornings after Daylight Savings depressing. This is a list of things that have been keeping me feeling peppy this March. My little rays of sunshine in the last gasp of winter, if you will. No sponsored content; this is all stuff I keep on buying over and over.
Your window for these may be over, but if you see some in the store, snap them up and enjoy. They were available by the box in January and February, but seem to be a little less popular now. If you like clementines or tangerines, you'll love Sumos. They have a thick peel that comes off easily, and the segments are seedless. They are by far the sweetest citrus I've eaten, and I swear I wrote that before I realized it was one of the selling points listed on the website. Outside of desserts like pie, this is also one of the only fruits I've seen J eat.
Most chemical exfoliants sting and leave me flaky, so I like to rock an extra long, extra nubby Japanese washcloth. It can be easy to get carried away with these, so proceed with caution! Once a week I match the washcloth up with a glob of my trusty Aveeno Baby Wash and go to town. There is something very cathartic about scrubbing away old layers of skin. Finish up with some of the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer I extolled the virtues of last month, and I dare you not to be petting your own arm for the rest of the day.
This is a somewhat local company for me, as they're based out of Baltimore, Maryland. I have eaten Michele's Granola for almost every breakfast since discovering it last year. They have a variety of delicious standard flavors, and Chocolate Cherry and Ginger Hemp are my favorites. Michele's also features seasonal flavors, and for spring/summer it is Lemon Pistachio. One word: phenomenal! I was able to grab my first bag of the year last week and it was a happy day. My favorite way to eat it is with plain Siggi's yogurt and fresh raspberries, but I'll have to wait a bit longer to do that. Good thing raspberry yogurt is a close second!
There are some ladies in the locker room of the REC that really have it together. They somehow manage to get a full face of makeup on and have beautifully done hair in the time it takes me to dry my feet. I bet they have really quick T1 times in races! I try to keep my routine as easy as possible, and this is my go-to lash curler. It has replaced my Shu Uemura full time! The Relevee only needs the lightest hand to get a natural looking curl. In fact, the first time I used this I squeezed too hard and got a crimp. Once I got the hang of it, I've been a very happy customer. I especially like that the curl holds all day, even when I first curl them in a super humid locker room. No small feat! It's a Japanese brand, so if you're a fan of the other Asian brands of curlers, have hooded eyes, or sparse straight lashes, consider giving this one a try.
So there we go. March can leave me feeling exceptionally blue, and it's true that none of these things can bring true happiness. But a positive outlook is important, and these have been my favorite things to keep me from feeling quite so bad. Julie Andrews would be proud!

In Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo's motto, engraved on the silverware in his submarine the Nautilus, is Mobilis in Mobile - mobile in a mobile element.
I'm not in the habit of posting photographs of shiny luxury products in my journal, but these Lithium-Ion battery powered, personal submersible craft have got me in a daydream, exploring the ocean in my cute Jetsons-style machine. There's something uniquely thrilling, scary and seductive about the thought of navigating all alone in one of these tiny submarines through acres of sea!
I found them while researching Ocean, my project currently under construction.
It helps my imagination that I recently returned from a visit to Boston's New England Aquarium where I spent several hours among the jelly fish, turtles, sharks and sea plants - and that I am currently immersed in Jules Verne's epic work of science fiction.
Written in 1869, the story takes us on an undersea voyage recounted by French naturalist Professor Pierre Arronnax, the captive 'guest' of Captain Nemo in his visionary submarine.
I'm enjoying Verne's determination to remain scientific as he builds a fantastical novel. Chapter by chapter he blurs lines between physics and art, science and drama...

Welcome to Ambience (or Timeless 2 if you wish)...
Normal stuff:
Call it what you will, a demo/dentro/intro/screen or whatever... To me its
just a small demo. This is not your usual demo/trackmo/etc... I am far too
lazy a soul for that type of thing. The idea here is not to display a bunch of
routines but rather just to do something fluffy. The code itself is pretty
simple, but it looks really nice, and that is the point.
All the routines are randomized, it will run differently but forever every
time you run it. So kick back, relax, and project it onto your ceiling... Or
better yet, a building adjacent to your house! Share the experience with your
neighbors. Best of all, on a cloudy night, project it onto the sky!!!
If you recognize some stuff from Timeless 1, you win a lollypop! I was
originally using a bunch of routines from the first to test the background
routine, but they looked so nice that I left them in.
Tech stuff:
This demo uses a very tweaked VGA mode at a high frequency with 21 bit
color. That's right, twenty one bits of color (7 red, 7 green, and 7 blue),
even though the regular hardware limitation of the VGA is 18 bits max color
resolution. Some monitors out there may not be able to support very high
refresh rate, though so far most of the monitors I tried it on worked. The
21bit color mode thingy is something I've had lying around since ASM'93. Some
people who were there early may remember it with some sine waves scrolling on
the screen in a stupid little thingy of mine Gore ran on the big screen. If
there is a little bit of flicker when the demo runs, I can not help it, your
monitor's phosphors just don't live long enough, and I will not take the
default frequency any higher for fear of compatibility problems, though you
can adjust it yourself. Be aware that there will be some monitors the demo
will just not work on. If yours is one like this, chances are its pretty old,
there is nothing I can do about it.
When running the demo, the height of the picture is usually about half the
height of the screen. But you may want to play with your monitor settings to
expand the screen to get a fuller effect.
You should have a fast machine for this one, and a fast video card is a
MUST! Though this thing is really best for a VLB or PCI system at high
resolution, it will look nice on a fast 386 with a good video card.
This demo is meant for faster computers because of the amount of data that
has to be updated for each high color frame. I tried simpler (faster)
algorithms for the main background, but they just didn't swim like what is
there now. Yes, hardware effects could have been used to speed up some of the
stuff. But that would forefeit certain grafix and basically restrict what
could be done, making this demo just another boring plasma (instead of being
an interesting plasma :).
The code is 100% 32bit ASM under PMODE 2.51. If you could not tell, I like
PMODE a lot. Its really nice how now there is a variant of PMODE for WATCOM
C/C++. If you code in that, take a look at PMODE/W, you may like it.
Design, Code, and Grafix:
Music replay routines:
Daredevil and Starscream of Renaissance.
Ryan Cramer of Renaissance/Iguana.
Rich Geldreich for the Targa file format.
Every one else who has served as a guinea pig for this release.
ESC - Exit the demo.
UP - Increase monitor frequency.
DOWN - Decrease monitor frequency.
LEFT - Move the screen up a bit.
RIGHT - Move the screen down a bit.
ALT-BACKSPACE - Capture the screen to a 24bit Targa file.
/C - Skip the configuration screen.
/E - Skip the end screen.
/A - No animations.
/S - Select an S3M to play on the command line. The filename of the S3M you
wish to play instead of the default music should immediately follow this
/W - Write out the default music file used in Ambience (Drops in Time by Ryan
Cramer) to an S3M file.
/0 - High resolution (slower updates).
/2 - Low resolution (faster updates).
/3 - There is a maximum optimal frame rate that is allowed at which the demo
was designed. This switch will let the demo run at a higher rate if the
system is fast enough.
AMBIENCE /C /E /Sfilename.s3m /0
The '/2' switch is only provided for those slow systems where the demo is
totally unbearable at the default resolution.
Misc stuff:
Dear PC Demoscene, it is not 'Tran Productions', but merely 'Tran'. I am
just one person. Any demo thing that I can not or do not feel like creating
myself I get from friends who are, by the laws of logic, not 'Tran'. The term
'Tran Production' means a production of 'Tran' (that's me :), and not a
'Tran Productions' production. Just thought you would like to know... Hey,
group people, ever consider going solo?... A lot more flexibility and no
group politics to get in the way.
Final stuff:
I worked on this thingy on and off for a little while, with other minor
things sprinkled in between. It is not as full as I would like it, but my mind
refuses to take it any further, and I can never win an argument with my mind,
it always outsmarts me. I decided to release it now as a little birthday
present to myself, a whole 19 years closer to nirvana now.
Contact me? Why would you want to do that? It could be pointless... But
anyways, [email protected] is a one way path, I can not (and would not if I
could) answer from here. If it is really important, try leaving it on the
Data Connection BBS at 703-506-8598 or 703-847-0861 to 'Tran', but what would
be the use?
Oh well, that is that for that I guess... Why does existence suck so much?
Why does my head hurt? This decrepit rotting metropolis of twisted and broken
granite, a corpse without a soul, why do they build ever taller monuments to
humanity's ignorance and block out all those pretty stars beyond? I don't
care... There is no meaning, no reason, no being. There is no truth. There is
no life, no escape from the fools, liars, and hypocrites.
Gotta get back to my empty wasted life now. I hope at least someone derives
some pleasure from this little thingy. Have a nice trip...
Just another lamer in the soup...

Michigan Services Information
Table of Contents ⇨
Michigan Services
Michigan Services are three Amtrak passenger rail routes connecting Chicago, Illinois with the Michigan cities of Grand Rapids, Port Huron, and Detroit, and stations en route. The group is a component of the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative.
The Michigan Services routes are:
- Blue Water (364/365): Chicago to Port Huron, Michigan
- Pere Marquette (370/371): Chicago to Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Wolverine (350/351/352/353/354/355): Chicago to Pontiac, Michigan
The routes carried 804,697 passengers during fiscal year 2013. [1] [2]
Up until fiscal year 2014, the State of Michigan only subsidized the operations of the Pere Marquette and Blue Water at a cost of $8 million in fiscal year 2014. Starting fiscal year 2014, the state took on the costs of operations for the Wolverine pushing the state subsidy to $25 million. [3]
Proposed improvements
High-speed rail
The Detroit-Chicago corridor has been designated by the Federal Railroad Administration as a high-speed rail corridor. [4] A 97-mile (156 km) stretch along the route of Blue Water and Wolverine from Porter, Indiana to Kalamazoo, Michigan is the longest segment of track owned by Amtrak outside of the Northeast Corridor. [4] Amtrak began speed increases along this stretch in January 2002 to 95 mph (153 km/h) between Niles and Kalamazoo. Increases to 110 mph (180 km/h) were approved in February 2011 between Porter and Kalamazoo. Further expansion of speeds to 110 mph (180 km/h) to Dearborn, Michigan are underway. [5]
The Michigan Department of Transportation has petitioned Amtrak to add a daily train between Chicago and Kalamazoo, departing Chicago in late evening and returning from Kalamazoo in the morning. [6] Amtrak operated an extra frequency during the Labor Day weekend in 2010. The trains, 356–357, left Kalamazoo at 5:50 am and returned from Chicago at 10:00 pm. [7] In 2013 Amtrak ran special holiday trains, numbers 356 & 359 out of Chicago to Ann Arbor. These trains arrived in Ann Arbor at 3pm and departed west an hour later at 4pm. [8] There are proposals to establish passenger service between Detroit and Grand Rapids via Lansing.
The tracks used were originally part of the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Central Railroad, Grand Trunk Railway and Pere Marquette Railway systems, and are now owned by CSX, Norfolk Southern, the Canadian National Railway, Conrail and Amtrak. The following lines are used:
Blue Water
- Grand Trunk Western Railway (GT), Battle Creek, Michigan (on the Michigan Central Railroad east of Kalamazoo) to Port Huron, Michigan, now CN
Pere Marquette
- Pere Marquette Railway, Porter, Indiana to Grand Rapids, Michigan, now CSX
- Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway (PRR), Chicago, Illinois to Whiting, Indiana, now NS
- Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (NYC), Whiting to Porter, Indiana, now NS
- Michigan Central Railroad (NYC), Porter to Detroit, Michigan, Amtrak between Porter IN and Kalamazoo MI to the west and MDOT d/b/a Amtrak from Kalamazoo MI to Dearborn, minus CN track through Battle Creek and Conrail in Detroit
- Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway (GT), Detroit to Pontiac, Michigan, now CN
When Amtrak was founded in 1971, five private companies provided inter-city passenger service in Michigan: the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O), the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O), the Grand Trunk Western, the Norfolk & Western, and Penn Central. Services provided: [9]
|Baltimore & Ohio
|Chesapeake & Ohio
|Chicago—Grand Rapids
|Pere Marquette
|Pere Marquette connection
|Grand Rapids—Detroit
|Pere Marquette
|Two round-trips daily
|George Washington connection
|Grand Trunk Western
|Chicago—Port Huron
|formerly the International Limited
|Maple Leaf
|Norfolk & Western
|St. Louis—Detroit
|Wabash Cannonball
|Penn Central
|formerly the Motor City Special
|formerly the Wolverine
|formerly the Michigan and Twilight Limited
Upon taking over national passenger rail service on May 1, 1971, Amtrak discontinued almost all of these, keeping just two round-trips on the Penn Central's Chicago—Detroit line. Detroit lost its direct connections to St Louis, Cincinnati, Buffalo and the Canadian province of Ontario. [10] On its first new timetable, issued on November 14, 1971, Amtrak bestowed names on these trains: the Wolverine and the St. Clair. [11] In mid-May Amtrak announced a Toledo, Ohio—Detroit connection to the new Chicago—New York Lake Shore with financial support from the state of Michigan; this train was canceled before it ran because of poor track conditions between the two cities. [12]
On April 10, 1975, Amtrak introduced French-built Turboliner equipment to the Michigan route. Amtrak added a third round-trip to the corridor on April 27. A pool of three Turboliner trainsets served the route, and the three round-trip pairs were numbered 350—355, which are still in use today. Amtrak dropped the individual train names and rebranded all three Turboliner, in common with similar services to St. Louis, Missouri and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The new equipment led to massive gains in ridership, topping 340,000 in 1975 and 370,000 in 1976. [13]:195–196
The Turboliners became a victim of their own success. Although fast (and flashy), they were unable to reach their design speed of 125 mph (201 km/h) because of the poor quality of the Penn Central track in Michigan. The five-car fixed consists had a maximum capacity of 292 passengers, which was often not enough. Starting in March 1976 Amtrak began replacing some of the Turboliners with conventional equipment, including new Amfleet coaches. Individual names returned to the corridor, with the heretofore unnamed third train becoming the Twilight Limited. The last Turboliners left the corridor in 1981. [13]:195–196; 202
Blue Water
Amtrak restored service to the Grand Trunk Western northeast of Battle Creek on September 15, 1974, with the inauguration of the Blue Water. This train originated at Port Huron and served Lapeer, Flint, Durand, and East Lansing before joining the Chicago—Detroit trains at Battle Creek and continuing to Chicago. The state of Michigan spent $1 million on track rehabilitation. Amtrak renamed the train the Blue Water Limited on October 26, 1975, and it used Turboliners 1976—1981. [13]:203–204; 208
Michigan, Amtrak and the Canadian province of Ontario had discussed restoring Port Huron—Toronto service since 1973; this finally occurred on October 31, 1982 with the extension of the Blue Water Limited, which was renamed the International Limited (later shortened to International). Amtrak and Via Rail, the state-supported Canadian rail company, jointly operated the International until April 25, 2004, when cross-border service was discontinued: massive border delays post- September 11 led to falling ridership. Amtrak and Michigan agreed to truncate service at Port Huron and bring back the old Blue Water. [13]:207
Pontiac and Toledo
On August 3, 1980, Amtrak extended the St Clair, the midday Chicago—Detroit train, to Toledo, Ohio. The train was renamed the Lake Cities and continued to use Turboliner trainsets until mid-1981. [13]:202 [14] The Lake Cities schedule allowed both east- and westbound connections with the Chicago—New York Lake Shore Limited, eliminating the need for Michigan travelers to backtrack through Chicago. Budget cuts led Amtrak to discontinue service to Toledo on April 1, 1995.
Amtrak extended the Wolverine and Twilight Limited to Pontiac on May 5, 1994. With this change service began at a new station in Detroit's New Center. Although the Michigan Central Station in Corktown, Detroit had closed on January 6, 1988, trains continued to stop at a temporary platform just east of the old station. Besides Pontiac, new stations were opened at Royal Oak and Birmingham. The Lake Cities also began serving Pontiac after the end of Toledo service in 1995. [13]:199–200 [15]
Pere Marquette
Amtrak considered two routes for a Chicago—Grand Rapids train: the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (ex- Pere Marquette Railway), which ran along the Lake Michigan coastline and joined the main Chicago—Detroit line at Porter, Indiana; and a Conrail (ex- Pennsylvania Railroad) route via Kalamazoo. Although the Conrail route was faster, a dispute over costs led to the selection of the C&O route. Service began August 5, 1984, with stops at Grand Rapids, Holland, Bangor, St. Joseph, New Buffalo and Hammond-Whiting. [13]:209 [16] Like the Blue Water, the Pere Marquette receives financial support from the state of Michigan.

A new detection approach originally developed for tuberculosis diagnostics is being adapted as a tool for determining traumatic brain injury, one of the challenges facing the medical community as it works to treat military and sports figures with head injuries.
Minute chemical alterations in the body, called biomarkers, are the key.
"The goal of this project is to not only detect traumatic brain injuries, but eventually to guide treatment as well," said lead researcher Harshini Mukundan of Los Alamos National Laboratory. "We hope that our project will greatly benefit the care and recovery of veterans and deployed troops."
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically results from a blow to the head and it afflicts a significant percentage of US troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As such, TBI has been named the "signature disease" of recent wars. Players in sports such as football or soccer also frequently experience some level of brain injury and problems of the blows' cumulative effects are gradually being more clearly understood.

If you need any advice on which products will be best for your individual needs then please do get in touch and one of our friendly and knowledgable staff will be more than happy to help.
Surf & Wave Paddleboards
Surf specific stand-up paddle boards are typically shorter, have a narrower nose and tail and more rocker (curve) than all-round, and flat-water/race boards. Surf paddle boards are perfect if you are always going to spend your time in the surf. The narrow shape makes the board much more maneuverable on a wave, but the trade off is that is that they are slower and dont track in a straight line on flat water and are also often less stable.
All-round Paddleboards
All-round boards are typically thicker, wider, and longer than surf specific models. These versatile, multi-purpose boards are great first time boards because they allow you to explore all aspects of the sport with only one board. All-round boards are wide enough to be very stable, have decent glide and tracking for flat water paddling or open ocean touring, but also enough rocker and side-cut for decent surf performance.
Flat-Water / Touring / Race Paddleboards
Flat-water boards are optimized for flat water, open ocean paddling. They are typically longer than all-round boards and often have a nose area that is pointed to help the board slice through the water smoothly, increase glide and help the board go straight. The sides are usually rounded for more glide and speed. Most flat-water boards are wide enough to be stable for beginners, however race boards, which are in the same family, are narrower to increase the boards speed. The narrowness makes race boards challenging for beginner paddlers and are not recommended. If you are a paddler looking for more speed and efficiency, the touring models are a magnificent choice.
Yoga Paddleboards
Yoga boards are normally around 3.20 meters (10.6 feet) and 80 centimeters wide (32 inches). The boards have a large surface area and are specially designed so that you can move easily. They also have a soft grippy deck pad that covers most of the top surface.
Solid Paddleboards
Solid stand up paddle boards are built of many different materials ranging from foam, fiberglass, Kevlar, plastics, and wood. Epoxy boards are made from a foam core laminated with layers of fiberglass for strength and rigidity.Most solid stand up paddle boards have an air vent installed on the deck. Air vents are used as a way to help prevent delamination of the epoxy resin from the EPS foam blank.
inflation time required.
You can get straight out on the water.
Super stable with stronger wind or choppy water.
Ultimate performance
Speed and agility
Great for tricks while surfing
Inflatable Paddleboards
Inflatable stand up paddle boards (iSUPs) are manufactured from layers of PVC plastic with woven fibres connecting to the top and bottom inside the board and are surprisingly rigid once inflated. Inflatable SUPs tend to be a little lighter than many Solid boards because they are composed mostly of air.
storage space required as iSUPs pack-down into a backpack.
Easily fit into an airlines hold allowance for travelling abroad.
Perfect if you want to paddle in locations that are not easily reachable by car.
More affordable than solid SUPs.
Paddleboard Size and Volume
Board volume and length are key factors when selecting the right size stand up paddle board. Use the formula below to estimate how much Volume you should be looking for in your board.
- your weight in (kg) x 2 (e.g. 90kg x 2 = 180 litres)
Intermediates - your weight in (kg) x 1.7
Advanced - your weight in (kg) x 1.3
Paddleboard Length
Board length plays an important part in the overall handling of a SUP Paddleboard.
boards (under 10) are great for surfing and/or kids. These
boards almost always have a planing hull. They are more maneuverable
than long boards, making them great for surfing waves. Boards
designed specifically for kids are typically around 8 long.
Medium boards (10 to 12) are ideal for all-around use and for SUP yoga. Most of these boards have planing hulls, but sometime youll find a displacement-hull SUP at this length.
Long boards (126 and above) are great for fast paddling and long-distance touring. The majority of boards in this size range are displacement-hull SUPs. Theyre faster than short and medium boards and they tend to track straighter. If youre interested in paddling fast or touring long distances, youll want a long board.
A few words from one of biggest suppliers, O'Brien...
As the world of paddleboards keeps expanding and evolving, so do our products. As a stand up paddleboard manufacturer, we have listened to the desires of our consumers and have built a product line that we couldnt be more proud of. Whether you are interested in using a SUP for exploration, exercise, yoga, or just a means to get out and have fun on the water, we have a stand up paddle board to fit your needs.
Not only do we build our boards for different purposes, but we also use different shapes, styles, and construction materials to compliment their intended use. Looking at our boards youll notice that some are epoxy, some are inflatable, and we even have a soft top SUP. The epoxy boards are generally thought of as more performance oriented. This is the traditional stand up paddleboard construction and is what most people are familiar with. The inflatable stand up paddleboards are more of an emerging sector in paddleboarding. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to transport and use. On top of that, they require minimal storage space making them convenient for most people.
No SUP is complete without a paddle itself and of course weve got a few options. The bamboo carbon paddles provide the highest performance with their minimal weight and snappy responsiveness; ideal for long stand up paddle adventures. If you tend to be a little rough on your equipment or plan to spend most of your time paddling through areas with a lot of rocks or other hazards, then you may want to consider one of our aluminum paddles for additional durability.
Make sure to check out some of our additional accessories designed to protect you, your gear, and to just make things easier. Also, make sure you have a good SUP life vest. Depending one where you are paddling, there are different rules and regulations regarding life vests. No matter what those rules are, your safest bet is to have one with you.

River herring formerly supported significant commercial and recreational fisheries throughout their range. Fisheries were traditionally executed in rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters using weirs, traps, dip nets and gillnets. Currently, river herring are harvested by directed commercial and recreational fisheries in some state waters. Commercial and recreational fishing in state waters is authorized through a sustainable fisheries management plan as required under Amendment 2, adopted by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) in 2009, prohibited commercial and recreational river herring fisheries in state waters as of January 1, 2012, unless a state or jurisdiction develops and receives approval for a sustainable fisheries management plan (SFMP). To date, SFMPs have been approved for Maine, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina. There are also incidental catches and discarding of river herring in state waters, but little is known regarding the extent of this activity.
While there are no directed commercial or recreational fisheries for river herring in Federal waters, river herring are incidentally harvested in commercial fisheries for other species using midwater trawl gear, small mesh bottom trawl gear,and large mesh gillnet gear. Commercial fisheries in Federal waters are managed by the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Councils (NEFMC and MAFMC, respectively), and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) through the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). River herring are also harvested in Canada and managed by Department Fisheries and Ocean through the Fisheries Act. Additional specifics can be found at Ongoing Monitoring and Management.

The river herring Technical Expert Working Group (TEWG) Fisheries Subgroup has considered issues related to the above specific to the impacts from state and federal fisheries rangewide. Additional information on these discussions, including identified data gaps and conservation ideas to inform the topic and ongoing efforts can be found at:

Autumn Term Events
Clickwise Campaign
Parents and children are invited to the first Clickwise Event to be held at St Michael's on Wednesday 29 November 2017 from 6 pm-8 pm. Doors open at 5.30 pm. Sandwell Council through the SHAPE Programme (child's voice initiative in Sandwell) has teamed up with local organisations such as West Midlands Police, Brook, Youth Services and Sandwell's Child Sexual Exploitation Team to develop the Clickwise Campaign. The increasing use of online devices by young people means it is more and more difficult for parents to be aware of what young people are looking at. Equally, our young people can be unaware of the dangers they could face through online abuse.

St Michael's Spell - a - thon
After gruelling quarter-final heats, ten students made their way into the first ever Year 8 Spell-a-thon semi-final. Each student gave it their all in front of the largest Spell-a-thon audience to date. Four students, unfortunately, tripped up on their spellings, leaving six left for the final. Battling to be crowned the 2017 Year 8 Spell-a-thon Champion, six soon became four, and then three, as tension grew in the room, with the remaining contestants determined not to fall prey to a misspelling.
Nevertheless, there had to be one winner. Following numerous rounds of spellings, and having witnessed other students incorrectly spell their given words, the 2017 Year 8 Spell-a-thon Champion is Millie Boyes.
Huge congratulations to Millie, who joins the 2017 Year 7 Spell-a-thon Champion, Ben Dorsett, in the St. Michael's Spell-a-thon Hall of Fame. Moreover, thank you to every student who gave it their best throughout the competition. There's always next year to claim the Spell-a-thon crown.
Visit to Staffordshire Regiment Museum
History is always better when you can relive it. This opportunity was given to some of our Year 9 students and members of the World War One Poppies and People Project. We were told that we would see a re-enactment of trench warfare and were amazed when we arrived to see a life-size trench as if it was the Western Front! The students were given the opportunity to look at weapons and artefacts from World War One and this was followed by a full-scale re-enactment of trench warfare between the Allied soldiers and the Germans set in the cold, dark environment of a November evening. We walked through the trenches whilst this was happening, surrounded by gunfire (which the students claimed was "very loud"!) and students were amazed and inquisitive. This experience, which can be difficult to bring to life in a classroom, really helped them to understand the unbearable conditions that people were faced with during the long battles of World War One. Later in December, we attended a Carol service, Night in the Trenches, at the same location where we all stood in the pouring rain in the trenches singing a variety of carols accompanied by soldiers representing the countries involved in World War One. Those involved were given the opportunity to commemorate and celebrate and it was a positive experience for all – a truly unique night.
