The Trees Have Ears . . .
by David Lucas
At the SCDNR's Webb Wildlife Center, a new generation of researchers is using a mix of high-tech and old-school research tools to gain fresh insights into the movements of Eastern wild turkeys.
Part II of a III-Part Series: The Trees Have Ears . . .
On another frustratingly warm but absolutely beautiful Lowcountry afternoon, I'm once again riding the roads of Webb, Palachucola and Hamilton Ridge WMAs with Alaina Gerrits and Kyle Zinn.
It being too hot to effectively rocket net this afternoon, we're instead focused on another part of their multi-faceted data collection effort. Using a climbing tree stand, Gerrits and Zinn are mounting powerful listening devices high in the trees at strategic points on the Webb Center, Palachucola and Hamilton Ridge. Set to record during daylight hours, the powerful microphones are capable of capturing and saving hours of natural sounds. Birds singing, squirrels chattering, and . . . you guessed it . . . turkeys gobbling.
Earlier in the week, I'd been sitting standby, this time with Patrick Wightman, another LSU grad student who's been working with the Webb Center study for three years.
"We're also doing a gobbling chronology study out here, so we've got fifteen sound recorders that we put out from March first to June first, and we're recording constantly from five in the morning until 8 at night," said Wightman. "At the end of this season we'll have three years' worth of gobbling data."
Only recently has such a method of data collection been available to researchers, Wightman told me. "The amount of data we're collecting – we're talking terabytes on top of terabytes of data to store and keep track of."
The vast amount of storage capability needed alone would have made this project impractical just a decade ago. But with the cost of high-capacity memory chips and portable, high-capacity hard drives now a fraction of what they were then, hours of ambient sound can be collected and stored easily and relatively cheaply. A software program then separates out the gobbling from the other sounds picked up by the recorders by being able to recognize the precise frequency of a gobble. Sometimes it's necessary for a person to listen and verify the sound, but the software makes it possible for students in a lab at LSU to process thousands of hours of recordings fairly quickly, and to mark the precise time of each gobble.
Once processed, the data from those sound recordings can be used to create a "gobbling chronology" based on when males begin to gobble and the number of gobbles. That data, along with GPS data from monitored nesting hens, will help researchers better determine when males pair up with females and start nesting, which has huge implications for determining the optimal time to begin hunting season (by making sure that most hens have been bred prior to the start of the season.)
Also an avid turkey hunter, Wightman can go from an enthusiastic description of a day spent in "chasing longbeards" with a shotgun to a complex discussion of the science behind his Master's thesis without skipping a beat. It's preliminary, he says, but some of the evidence they are finding through the sound recording work could point to a real breakthrough in understanding a key aspect of male turkey behavior.
"After winter flock breakup birds start gobbling, because they're out there trying to get their hens grouped up" says Wightman. "Then there's kind of a lull when they are breeding. It [gobbling frequency] increases again once the hens are nesting – at least that's what the literature says – but we are finding some differences in that with our data. We're still working on analyzing last year's data, but what we're seeing is more that the drop off in gobbling is really happening when the hens are on the nest."
A male turkey movement study based on Wightman's research is due to be published soon in the Journal of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Wightman is completing his Master's degree at LSU, and like these other young researchers, is eager to forge ahead with a career in wildlife management.
According to Wightman, all of these new technologies make it a fascinating time to be a turkey biologist.
"People in this field have been working for a long time trying to answer the same set of questions with the same set of tools, but now, with this new GPS technology and other things we're using, there's just a tremendous number of questions that biologists wanted to answer back in the day that we may be able to [finally] answer," said Wightman. "Now we can put a unit out there and get exact locations every thirty minutes on a bird's life. It tells us a true story of what's going on, on the ground, and I think that's really exciting."
"For instance, he continued," from looking at the GPS data from several years, you can derive accurate average times for say…the start of incubation or the average time turkeys start laying eggs, then you get a good timeline for what that looks like and that has a relationship with the gobbling data. There's just so many questions you can answer – we're really just touching the tip of the iceberg."
Who knows, maybe in another decade researchers will be tracking the movements of these wily birds using tiny drones, or other technologies not yet even imagined. But one thing's for certain, just as it has been since the 1950s, when it happens, the SCDNR and its partners in research will be leading that charge.

The 40th International Fur Fair of Kastoria took place in the city of Kastoria, Greece. This four day event started on Wednesday, May 6- 9, 2015, showcasing 98 exhibitors; mainly local as well as some other international participants. The exhibition again was in the International Exhibition Center of Kastoria (IECK), which was built last year and will be new home of the Kastoria Fur Fair for years to come. However much time passes, some things remain unchanged … From primitive Europe, magical Asia and aristocratic Russia, fur, through the passage of time, has undoubtedly been transmuted into a myth. It is something that will forever make us think of warmth and luxury. Once again, Kastoria was at the centre of the world fur trade, an arena for the development of commercial ties and relations, and the coming together of markets from all corners of the world. From Russia and China to Canada and Europe – all so different, and yet all so similar. With its huge variety of goods, and the trade mark experience, inspiration and creativity of the furriers of Kastoria has been the meeting point for fur dealers from all over the world. Fur, the material loved as no other throughout history and in the front line of fashion today, was presented in all its mythical splendour. Following international stylistic tastes and trends in fashion, which want fur to be both "must" and modern, the FUR FASHION GALA held on the first evening of the 40th International Fur Fair of Kastoria (organized by the Kastorian Fur Association and sponsored by the auction house BLACKGLAMA), won wide acclaim. Nine representative collections of fur, from the 98 who participated in total, unfolded their stories, each with their own style and each having their own role on the catwalk, separate and unique, but, at the same time, an integral part of the collection. The fur creations combined beautifully with name clothing brands. The companies which participated were the following: MANZARI FURS, TRASSIAS FURS, OBSESSION FURS, KONSTANTINOU FURS SWAKARA, KAPOULIS FURS, SARIGIANNI, DUE FRATELLI, SAMEL, NEVRIS. Within the context of the Fair's parallel exhibitions and events, this year great interest was again generated by a pioneering design competition. Ten exhibitors presented the finest pieces from their collections, and, in order to ensure the transparency of the whole procedure, visitors voted electronically for the best fur garments of modern style & design. This year, in the category of Best Modern Style Ready Fur Garment, the winners were: First: Gonos Basilis Second: Sarigianni Third:Konstantinou Furs Swakara In the category of Best Design Ready Fur Garment, the following winners were chosen: First: Sarigianni Second: Konstantinou Furs Swakara Third: Gonos Basilis
The most special and emotional moment of this year's Exhibition was the award of the former Presidents of the Kastorian Fur Association, just before the opening of the Fashion Show. As part of the 100th Anniversary of the Establishment of the founding of the Kastorian Fur Association at the inauguration ceremony honorary awards were given to all the former Presidents and Administration Boards who served the Kastorian Fur Association. For the same reason, the Kastorian Fur Association on the 8th of May at the Olympic Flame Park has organized an event with traditional regional dancing groups who offered to the crowd spectacular show. The Kastorian Fur Association "The Prophet Elias" would like to extend its warmest thanks to the sponsors of this year's event:
An overall analysis of data indicates that during the four days of its operation, the Exhibition welcomed 1.216 commercial visitors from 25 countries and 3.887, other visitors. Moreover, during the exhibition, 751 full-length coats, half-coats, jackets and parkas were sold. Additionally, the number of commercial transactions made during the Fair gives reason to be optimistic regarding the coming season.

Gas prices keep climbing in Sacramento, statewide
Gasoline prices in Sacramento and throughout California are closing out the week in full escalation mode.
GasBuddy.com, which does a daily survey of more than 700 gas outlets in the Sacramento area, said the average retail price of gas in the region Friday was $2.45 a gallon, an 11-cent increase in just the last three days.
Statewide, the average at-the-pump cost was $2.55, up from $2.45 on Tuesday and $2.43 last week.
Golden State stations that were selling gas for less than $2 a gallon on Monday were no longer doing so, said Los Angeles-based GasBuddy analyst Allison Mac. "I'm not seeing a single one now... Bye, bye $2 gas."
Mac said the recent surge in wholesale fuel costs is the primary driver, and "crude (oil) is factoring into it."
Crude oil, which recently plunged into the $45-a-barrel range, surged more than $4 Friday and briefly traded at more than $53 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Mac said there's a possible impact of a United Steelworkers union strike, which this week idled nearly 4,000 workers at nine U.S. refineries, including Tesoro's California facilities in Carson and Martinez.
"Refinery strikes don't typically impact production, but we're trying to determine if that also is a factor," Mac said.
Nationally, the average retail price of gas on Friday was $2.15, up from $2.04 last week, according to GasBuddy's survey.

The Uruguayan Antitrust Commission, after a series of legal and technical reports, just decided for Uber in a case originally filed by the Uruguay Taxi Owners Union ("Patronal").
Decision 93 on the one hand rejected the Taxi Owners Union claim against Uber and concluded that Uber's business model had no anticompetitive elements and does not violate any of the laws or regulations under the Antirust Commission's jurisdiction. Even more significantly, the Antitrust Commission took the initiative, at Uber's request, to issue non-binding recommendations to Congress and local governments to seek pro-competitive regulation in all regulatory frameworks related to this market, pursue equal treatment for all interested parties, avoid unjustified requirements or entry barriers that may jeopardize new agents' access, and ensure its regulations are not an obstacle for the development of new business models.
Decision 93 was picked up immediately by the press and mass media because of the far-reaching implications in a situation that has been on the front pages almost constantly since Uber started operations last November. A cabinet meeting the following day devoted significant time to assessing the decision.
Uber was a success in the Uruguayan market as from day one and had been seeking to be formally admitted so that the drivers using the application can operate legitimately and pay their taxes, as well as not be the brunt of discrimination. Although the highly influential taxi owners lobby initially managed to rally the political system behind prohibiting Uber from operating, and aggressive measures were taken both at the local and national level, Uruguay's strong tradition as a software powerhouse soon started to create cracks in this consensus. Leaders of the software and digital economy sector started voicing their concerns about the risk of jeopardizing both Uruguay's image as a high-tech jurisdiction and also their concrete business goals. The Antitrust Commission decision puts the discussion back on how to maximize consumer welfare with regulatory environments that do not hijack new developments and business models under regulations made decades ago.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Kid-Simple Patriotic Garlands
We are a patriotic family...I love my Marine!
This is us pre-kids and married a month....we were in ignorant bliss, living a newlywed's life and celebrating his promotion he had just received.
|Home from Iraq
A couple of years later, we started adding babies to the mix...
I can't imagine my life without pride for our country and those who live to defend it.
In preparation for this important holiday, we decided to make some easy garlands that take a short amount of time and don't require a lot of supplies or money.
I hope you decide to make one of these..they are fun and pretty when they are hung!
POM-POM Garland
You need: Yarn (I used red,white and blue)
Roll of twine (bought a big roll at Home Depot for just a couple of dollars)
1)Take your 3 colors and put the ends of all 3 together
2) Pull a long amount of the 3 strands together, so they are all the same length. You will need a long amount...the more you use, the more full your pom poms will be
3) Get a piece of card board and cut out 2 circles...using a CD for a stencil works great. Cut a smaller hole in the middle of both of those, a long with 1 slit going through one side of your newly formed "doughnut"
Once your doughnuts are wrapped well, get your scissors and go between the 2 cardboard pieces, snipping the strings carefully.
Get a longer piece of yarn and go between the 2 pieces of cardboard...tie a tight knot (or a few) to sinch the pieces together.
Take your pom off through the slit. Use the long string that is extra to tie your poms onto your garland twine, or whatever you wish to use for your garland.
Fluff and trim any long pieces that are left.
Fabric Bunting Garland
What you need: Scrap fabric
Cardboard triangle
Glue (fabric or hot is fine)
Length of lace trim
1) Get your lace trim, and iron it flat. My lace trim is a little wide, and I wanted to hid the raw edges of my triangles, so I folded it in half. Use starch...it helps keep it folded and a little stiff. There are many kinds that you can find in the stores...
2) Cut a cardboard triangle...mine was 4 inches across the top (small triangles look cute, but big ones can be made too)
3) Iron your triangles, and sandwich them in any order into your lace trim (if you folded it)...attach them to the trim with a line of glue. I used hot glue because I wanted instant adhesion without any wait.
I loved this pledge of allegiance fabric I had stashed away...
Coffee Filter Garland
You need: Paint (Acrylic works well, but others are fine too)
Coffee Filters
Paint brush
Hot glue
1)Take the yarn and cut 6 long pieces (however long you want your garland to be)
2) Two by two, use the 3 strands to make a pretty braid. This will be what you hang your filters from.
3) Dilute some paint with some water.
4) Let your child paint on the filters any pattern they want. This is fun because the filters are very durable and allow the paint to spread a little and they dry super quick!!
The longer your garland is, the more you will need...BUT-keep in mind, you will have double of whatever you make because once they are dry...
5) Cut them in half
7) Use hot glue to attach them to your braid to hang!

There are plenty of males who have problems with gynecomastia, in which case extra tissue grows in the chest region. People who suffer from the condition might experience a severe strike to their self confidence. Males can find it fairly unpleasant to partake in certain competitive sports, since the surplus tissue in the chest region provokes an ache, or since it may be necessary to take off their shirts. There is certainly no single reason for this problem, but several ones. One of the most popular factors is losing weight, which could leave behind a bit of drooping skin at the chest area.But your city provides a lot of experts in gynecomastia (male breast reduction) to assist men to feel fine once again.
In case you happen to be looking into a male breast reduction surgery in your city, you can find a couple of principal approaches. On one side there's liposuction, and alternatively you will find the excision, or an extra solution might be made up of the pairing of the two. You really ought to take this verdict together with your surgeon, he ought to advise the most beneficial treatment for you. Even so, there's a substitute for a surgical treatment, gynecomastia pills guarantee corresponding final results without having to end up on an operating table. Even though supplements are non-invasive, the process of decrease is a lot more continuous.
So, if you stick with the operation, you ought to bear in mind that a male breast reduction cost in your city is close to $6,500. There are actually two kinds of variables which can modify the charge, thus it can be larger or less than the above noted amount. We have the characteristics of the facility and the specialists, including the working experience of the physician. Additionally, every customer represents a unique situation, he has his special needs. Sometimes, the insurance firm can cover the gynecomastia price, hence check out if you meet the requirements.
The surgical procedure is going to be accompanied by a gynecomastia recovery process and only after this you will finally be able to relax. Nonetheless, in case you went for the male breast reduction pills, this will not impact you. The most critical aspect to bear in mind for the duration of this challenging phase is that your doctor will be invariably there for you. In circumstances like this, the comfy help of your family is going to make absolutely every thing less difficult. To sum up, a male breast reduction in your city may recover your self-confidence and you will at long last remove your shirt happily in public.

This article will provide a good chance to find out more about the issue. Surely, you will win over others with what you learned here.

The things people concur on are not that many, and this definitely isn't one. Then again, there are also some perks that accompany this kind of data. For instance, you'll get familiar even with the unfavourable aspects, not only the favourable ones. In addition, it makes you challenge the data you're given, and not to take it without giving it some thought.
But, there should also be a component of fun in your experience regarding andractim gel gynécomastie. The reality is that everything could be enjoyable if you know how to approach it. Consequently, take a break and simply have a little fun. We tend to be too anxious and the sadest thing is that we grow used to this state. It is as if we just don't have the energy and time to get everything done. And once our day at work is finally finished we do not have the energy to get anything done. Then again, distancing yourself from your worries is incredibly important and necessary. Did you ever take a step back to delight in the scenery?
Quite a few people are affected by some common mistakes regarding andractim gel gynécomastie. These might actually be brought on by lots of things. To start with, bad choices grow on the deficiency of information. Also, occasionally others take you down a bad path unintentionally, that's why you must constantly be quite careful about going after other people, choose your own direction. However, people have a tendency to talk about the mistakes they made, and this gives a good opportunity for others to learn to stay clear of these. Being able to learn from the misfortune of others might be regarded as vital for our survival.

I am a woman of many words..many many many words! I know shocking right?! well the truth is I am… I have a lot to say and for the most part I am just too busy to sit here and bang it all out.
Between pretty much being a full time parent… the girls go to their dads but nothing regular, it's supposed to be every other weekend but it doesn't turn out to be that often…for many reasons!… and I work a lot… when I have a lot of work then I have to do it.. I can't really pick and choose when I go in to work…when its there I work..and when it's not there I try to organize myself get caught up on paperwork and check the gazillion emails I get every day… it's a FULL life! it's a good life… mostly! I joke a lot about having a reality show…there are few dull moments!
Right now my biggest challenge is the age of my girls… they are 19, 14, 13 and almost 11… it's HORMONE overload in my house right now… and it's probably the single most exhausting time of my life…well that I know of, I still have a lot of life yet to live! But there it is… teen girls are draining! the drama… OH.MY.THE.DRAMA. it never seems to end! Without going into details, cuz my purpose in life is not to humiliate the girls, I will say this…. I have never known pain like the pain a child who is angry and mad can cause. Not even the darkest days of the divorce or the residual crap that comes from the fall out of a family that has been ripped in 2 and standing on either side of a divide the size of the Grand Canyon!! and speaking from experience here… that was/still can be at times painful … but this… this pain that a child who you struggled to keep alive in utero (you would have to read my old blog http://insighttolalasworld.blogspot.com to understand…basically pregnancy was easy to come by but hard for my body to maintain) a child that you gave birth too after a 11 hour of hell labor.. this child that you nursed and changed and loved and poured your life into… this child who cried out at night for you and curled their tiny hands into your hair and snuggled into you only like a child can… this child can cut you to the quick and hurt you like none other.
It sucks.
You have so much hope and dreams for your children and when you see them struggle and hurt… it hurts you … then you see them start leaning towards what seems to be bad choices and mind sets and it's like a panic sets in to sway them… to guide them back to the innocent childlike set of mind that you used to know they possessed. Even in the midst of the teen age brain shrinkage… you know that they still are amazing.. that they can be ANYTHING they want too.. and you struggle to make them see it.. to believe it … to not make enough stupid choices that could lead them off the path altogether… The news like prime time is no longer a show that you care to watch.. the ultimate fears of what could happen you watch unfold before you and when you hear those words "we never saw this coming" you question how that ever could be possible until you are sitting in the teenage mom shoes… and then you can… and that freaks you out!
The interesting thing about teen girls.. and having more than 1 in your house is that they sort of form this "pack" … they can be fighting so hard against each other but just as easily can group together and attack… at the same time.. to the same poor soul! I've seen it happen!
I have so many more years of raising these teen girls…. I am sure I have so many more tears to be shed and sleepless nights of frustration hurt and pain. In there, there are amazing times and memories being made… lets get that straight… there are so many joys I get to have with my girls but this post is about the struggle… and lets be real! it's a struggle!
I am not sure it can be done without a solid community around you! and I am SOOO glad that I have that community! I am glad that I have a husband who loves my girls… who wants what is best for them and defends me and has my back. That does make raising the girls a lot easier and I wish I had always had that…but no point looking back cuz there is SO much more joy presently and looking forward. I know that all this too shall pass! and that before I know it they will be grown with families of their own calling me crying saying "mom I just don't get why they are like this"… well I can hope they get a little taste of what they are putting me through 🙂 … and I get to snicker every so quietly and say oh honey the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! hehehe insert a wee bit of a wicked laugh!!

|It seriously is as majestic in person if not more when you see it for the first time. I was giddy like a little girl when she receives her first American Girl Doll.
|And we proceeded to take a selfie with the Eiffel Tower pretty much anytime we saw it in plain view no matter where we were... I've got a hundred more similar ones..
|Arc De Triumph!! This was so fun to see and it was the same day as Tour De France was finishing so we got to see some cyclists going around the monument too which was pretty exciting!
|Photo bombed by this guy... at NOTRE DAME!
|A seriously Stunning building. Beautiful architecture and it sits right on the river.
|I started to get my appetite back so we grabbed our first real meal at this cute cafe. I already miss the darling cafes
|We decided to get a little dressed up and go out for a glass of wine, we made a friend that evening and he took us to see the Eiffel Tower all lit up at night. More on that later :)
The thing is I understand the excuses you have. I had them too. Your job won't let you have the time off, you can't afford it, you are scared of what is happening with ISIS and other terrorist organizations in foreign countries, you aren't sure you can handle the lengthy flight, you are afraid of the language barrier... the list goes on and on. I would be lying if I said I hadn't thought through all of those things and more at one point or another. My biggest hiccup for so long was the flight length. I always thought that I would have a panic attack being cooped up that long on an airplane but I kid you not that was probably the easiest part of the whole trip.
So just GO!!! And here is a list of the reasons why you SHOULD:
1. You aint gettin' any younger my friend. With the amount of walking around, hopping on and off of trains you do, it helps to be younger. Anyone can go to Europe but I am glad I got to experience it in my twenties, and to be able to flirt a little with the locals ;)
2. Experiencing new cultures seriously changes you and your perspective on life and on how you live your life.
3. The beauty and history you will see and experience is unlike anything we can or will know in the States.
4. It's amazing how much confidence you gain in yourself when you figure out how to get around and communicate in a foreign place.
5. You get to meet new people with completely different perspectives than you.
6. You will feel liberated! I felt so free in that I was gone for 2 weeks and felt completely at home wherever I was. I was so worried that I would feel home sick or have a panic attack when I thought hard enough about how far from home I was. I am such a homebody normally that this was a big deal for me.
7. You get to experience food from it's origin. The croissants and macaroons and cheese sandwiches and baguettes and pasta and wine. Tasting all of those foods in it's country of origin was so fun! Shannon was a little more experimental than I was, but in my defense I had food poisoning in Paris, and that was NOT fun. So I played it a little safe after that.
8. THE WINE!! I mentioned it in point 7, but it gets it's own line too. The wine in Italy was so inexpensive and SO amazing!!
9. You obtain an appreciation for the blessings in your life in a different way. I was so thankful that I had the ability, and the means and the support of family to take this trip. I was also so thankful to come home to my big bed that has a mattress topper on it that I could snuggle back into.
10. I got to bring home some very fun Italian leather goods that I'm pretty obsessed with. I will take an outfit photo with my purse for you soon :)
There are so many other reasons why it's such an amazing experience. I know these memories will stay with me for a long long time.
Love and Quit Making Excuses... the Time is NOW!

When political power becomes more important than public service, the public loses. Unfortunately, that is what has happened in Hallandale Beach.
We have seen an Office of Inspector General investigation that found "gross mismanagement" of our CRA swept under the rug. Now there's an active investigation into a majorly flawed "community benefit" program, and an admission by an elected city official that he made a side deal with a developer before approving their massive project. Mayor Joy Cooper made matters worse when she not only had the microphones cut off at the city commission meeting, but also had Commissioner Keith London and me removed from the dais for attempting to discuss Bill Julian's public admissions of wrongdoing.
Though the mayor will say she is trying to maintain order, her move also has the effect of protecting her political majority. When she shuts off the microphones and silences the voices of two of the city's elected officials, the people she is really silencing are the residents of Hallandale Beach who elected us to be their voice on the commission.
Following Commissioner Julian's public admissions, I thought it was important that we discuss how the city plans to handle the situation before he played a role in deciding how we allocate more than $100 million of our taxpayer's funds. Cooper thought it more appropriate to have dissenting opinions removed from the dais by police. Imagine in Congress, one party having the other removed from the floor so that they cannot debate or vote on the issues they were elected to decide. It would be the leading headline on every national news broadcast and in every major newspaper in the country.
I will continue to raise this issue until I believe it has been appropriately addressed and remedied. I owe that to the people who elected me.
I got into politics as an advocate for animals. Now I am an advocate with a title and an important vote. I take that vote and the platform it provides very seriously.
As we move into election season, I would encourage the voters of Hallandale Beach to educate themselves on the candidates. I am one of those candidates. So is Bill Julian. We are not running for the same seat.
Voters have a chance to take back their city from a political system that is failing them. To do that, they must elect people who care more about public service than they do political power.
Our next commission meeting is Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. I encourage residents of Hallandale Beach to attend and sign up to speak during public comment. Your voice matters, but it must be heard.
Michele Lazarow is a city commissioner in Hallandale Beach. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

There is one group of American voters that still thinks Trump is doing a great job in the White House, the same group that gave Trump most of his support in the November 8 election that sent him to the Oval Office.
Before becoming president, Trump frequently tweeted that climate change was a hoax, often linking his claims, which contradict at least 97 percent of climate scientists, to freak cold-weather events. It has a 2.9 percentage point margin of error. This is up a notch from the previous poll with 39 percent. Their polling reflects other recent data from organizations like Gallup, as Trump seems dead set on sending his party toward a midterm backlash if progressive momentum against the Republican agenda continues all the way to the ballot box in 2018.
Gov. Roy Cooper's job approval rating has increased to 49 percent among residents who responded.
Some key supporters have begun to migrate away from Trump, notably Republicans, independents and white men. Now it has dropped to 41.4 percent, showing that the very people who embraced the idea of Trump as commander-in-chief are beginning to reject him.
Meanwhile, 70 percent of Americans disapprove of how Republicans in Congress are doing, up six points from two weeks ago, and 57 percent disapprove of the Democrats' performance.
A federal judge in Hawaii last month temporarily blocked Trump's travel ban hours before it was due to go into effect.
Trump's initial order created chaos at USA airports as immigration and customs agents initially blocked the entry of all citizens from seven countries, including those who had lived in the United States for years.
"This is typically a red state and people here are generally more conservative than what we found nationally and so they're going to be much more supportive of the Republican president". "They wanted to do better for their family".
U.S. Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis receive approval ratings of 25 and 33 percent respectively. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population.
Bush had a lower rating in last year of his presidency in 2008, but that, "it took eight years, two unpopular wars and a staggering economy to get there", said Tim Malloy, the assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. There are 906 registered voters.
More than half of Americans approve of Obamacare now
The Kaiser Family Foundation also asked respondents who is ultimately to blame for any of Obamacare's failures going forward. Speaker Ryan and House Republicans would do well to remember this as they continue their negotiations and develop new plans.
Advertising boycott of YouTube broadens as Pepsi, Walmart, Starbucks withdraw ads
In response to this controversy, Google has issued a series of steps it will take in order to counterattack the crisis at hand. The video was also paired with brands in Asia - Castrol lubricants in India and Cow & Gate infant formula in Hong Kong.
Scientists invent self-repairing smartphone screen material
For example, the hydrogen bonds that connect water molecules to one another are non-covalent, giving water its fluid properties. The covalent bonds are strong but the same rigid nature means the bonds don't readily reform once they've been broken.
After Facebook adds more photo features, Snapchat adds 'search through picture' tool
That also means being able to recognize inappropriate photos that violate Snap's terms and conditions, such as porn and violence. As such, Snap's future would require it to move out its roots in small pieces at a time and this could ruin its overall appeal.
Alaska Airlines expands flight offerings out of Portland

There will be an Ash Wednesday Service in the sanctuary on March 1 at 6:15 pm. N*Light*N and Chancel Choirs will sing for the service, and Pastors Randy Martin and Skip White will preside. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the season of preparation for celebrating Easter and our theme is "Journey to the Cross". In the service, we confront our own mortality and confess our sin before God within the community of faith. The use of ashes, marking the sign of the cross, is a powerful experiential way of participating in the call to repentance and reconciliation with Christ.

|Stone Arch under an Illinois highway, Nauvoo IL
|Mississippi River with dead leaves
|Pat with my shadow
|Pull off from highway, Mississippi River
|Sugar Maple in my backyard
When we drove south of Nauvoo, IL. for 12 miles, there were several pull-offs from the highway where you could picnic, rest, or just look out at the river. The weather was perfect, the views restful.
I love getting away on these short trips, stopping when we want, eating wherever. But I fear that the days of travel are coming to an end for me. It is now painful to walk any distance at all. The difference between the trip to Seattle in August, 2013 and this trip last week is noticeable. I didn't realize how, unconsciously, I have developed a routine at home that compensates for the pain and numbness in my leg in the first hours of wakefulness. Yeah. Didn't realize it until I half collapsed in the shower in Galena. The leg went out, and I thought I would fall. I now know I have to be awake and moving around for an hour or so before attempting too much. Like a shower.
Losing my mobility is a major setback in my life. I have always, always loved to walk. Never a runner, but walking was my thing. I used it to exercise, get from point to point, or to work off stress and nerves, especially when I worked in downtown Chicago. I miss walking the dogs on a daily basis. And I think they miss it as well.
Getting old sucks. The alternative isn't great either.

In a league bloated with eight-figure celebrity lightweights who
haven't won anything, Scottie Pippen is an anachronism: a player
with six championship rings who still feels he has something to
prove. You have to go back to Bill Russell to find anyone as
well-fed and hungry. "People are going to say, 'Let's see if he
can win a championship without Michael,'" says Houston swingman
Eddie Johnson. "But I don't know what they're talking about.
Michael couldn't win without Scottie, either."
With the dramatic signing of Pippen (five years, $67.2 million),
the Rockets now resemble a jazz band at Preservation Hall: They
know how to swing, but they play with a bit of a hitch. Pippen
is 33 and underwent back surgery last July; Charles Barkley
turns 35 this month and also has a bad back; Hakeem Olajuwon is
35 and has an ailing knee; and Olajuwon's backup, Antoine Carr,
is 37. As a counterpoint, they're surrounded by a batch of
players in their early 20s, including rookie guard Michael
Dickerson from Arizona, a promising scorer. "I've got guys on
this team, I could be their daddy," says Johnson, 39. "You need
the type of energy they bring around you, their silliness." Now
he sounds as if he's talking about grandchildren.
"The balance in our personnel has got to be one of our
strengths," says coach Rudy Tomjanovich. "It's just like a
family, where the older members have to help out the younger
Their rivals hope that the Rockets will be too exhausted to
re-create their title runs of 1993-94 and '94-95. "Everybody's
saying we're too old," says Johnson. "Well, name me a young team
that's won an NBA championship."
Touche. Fully one quarter of the reigning Olympic gold medalists
will play for Houston this season. One of them, Olajuwon,
rebuilt his legs during the lockout with the help of Bahamian
triple jumper Frank Rutherford, an Olympic bronze medalist in
1992. "Frank helped me not just with my knee but also with my
whole mentality," says Olajuwon, who never recovered his
strength last season after surgery on his left knee forced him
to miss 33 games. "The goal was not to extend my career but to
improve the quality of the years I have left."
Pippen should help there. Roaming the half-court as gracefully as
Muhammad Ali worked the ring, he'll give Olajuwon more freedom on
offense. They'll also make a devastating pair defensively. "Over
the last couple of years I've been thinking about coming to play
here," says Pippen. "I've always wanted the opportunity to play
with a great center."
In Pippen and Olajuwon, the Rockets have two of the few
tried-and-true NBA champions still at work. Someday the next
generation is going to take over, but for now it looks as if the
old folks have pooled their resources in Houston for one last

Sometimes even the healthiest people need to indulge and this week I am planning to enjoy a delicious summertime dish Paella. It's a scrumptious blend of seafood and rice. I prefer to add a few extra vegetables to my paella too so I don't feel as guilty… here's my recipe:
- A dash of cal spray (oil)
- 6 chicken thighs (boned and remove the skin for a few calories)
- 150g finely chopped chorizo
- 2 finely chopped onions
- 1 sliced large red pepper
- 150g garden peas
- 150g chopped green beans
- 3 crushed cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 pinches saffron
- 1 bay leaf
- 250g paella rice
- 900ml hot chicken stock
- 500g mussels
- 12 king prawns
- 6 scallops
- Handful of parsley and lemon wedges to serve
Let's get cooking…
Spray the pan with the calorie oil and fry off the chicken (and a dash of pepper at this stage). Then add the chorizo and cook for a further minute before transferring the entire mixture to a large heatproof bowl.
Now it's time to add your chopped onion to the frying pan, you might need to spray it lightly again. Once the onion has browned add the red pepper, peas and green beans and allow it all to cook for two minutes. Finally, stir in the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for a further minute.
Now it's time to add in the saffron, bay leaf and rice and cook for one minute until the rice is coated with all of the flavours. Now bring the chicken and chorizo back into the pan (with all of the natural juices) and pour the chicken stock over the whole mixture before along the paella to simmer for 12 – 15 minutes.
Add in the mussels, making sure they are well tucked into the hot rice and steaming liquid. Return to a simmer over a medium and cook for 5 minutes until the mussels open. Then reduce the heat slightly, scatter the scallops and prawns over the top of the paella and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes, turning the prawns once and pushing into the rice so they turn pink. But don't stir the rice after the muscles have been added as you want the rice to become lightly browned and a bit sticky on the bottom to add flavour. Finally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with the lemon wedges and enjoy!!

As we journey through life we all face troubles and cares. Sometimes these cares leave us overwhelmed and feeling desperate. We must remember to put our hope in God. When we are struggling He walks beside us and steadies us. Sometimes He carries our burdens and sometimes He carries us. We are never alone. He is always with us, sharing our cares and lightening our load.
Light for Today: The good man does not escape all troubles-he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one. Psalm 34:19 TLB

In December it was announced that a chess player with four hours of training beat the world's world champion chess-playing program. The player was AlphaZero, an AI (artificial intelligence) program operated by Google.
It was told the game rules, but was given no chess-playing strategies or solutions. It knew very little at the outset, played itself over and over again (rather randomly at first,) and got better very quickly over the course of 68 million games played. It had the benefit of massive computing power as well, something unavailable to its opponent, which ran on an ordinary PC.
It was one of a trio of victories for the program. "AlphaZero achieved within 24 hours a superhuman level of play in the games of chess and shogi (Japanese chess) as well as Go, and convincingly defeated a world-champion program in each case," say the authors of the paper "Mastering Chess and Shogi by Self-Play with a General Reinforcement Learning Algorithm."
Artificial Intelligence, or machine intelligence, is in contrast to human or animal intelligence. When a device seems to be learning or problem solving, some say that machine has artificial intelligence. When it does things better than us, it is called "superhuman."
Because our world is increasingly filled with data, AI might assist us in making sense of it all. AI has applications in healthcare, autonomous vehicles, finances, speech recognition, and more. Any device or company that is providing recommendations to you, for example, is probably using some flavor of AI to tell you what you might like. If you've played a computer game, you've won or lost to AI.
Current goals for AI research include adding the ability to reason, plan, and perceive.
Neural networks can assemble patterns of behavior and be used to power AI. The idea is to have a system, the "neural network" of interconnected computer nodes, that can experiment rapidly and learn from mistakes. A neural network algorithm is "trained" through repetition until it "learns," then it can respond to input.
Algorithms, a sequence of actions to be performed, are used to train neural networks.
AI can be used in robots, but doesn't require them. AI can exist as a machine connected to the internet.
As with most technologies, it depends on how we use it whether it is useful or not.
In the useful category, for example, a team of scientists created a new algorithm that can look at an image, then fix blurriness, grainy noise, missing pixels, or color errors. What they find exciting is that their neural network is able to look at a wide variety of problems at the same time, rather than fix each problem individually.
In order for it to work, they had to give the system a large database of good images, so it could "learn" what makes for a good image. After that, it can recognize and fix deviations it finds in new images. Sort of. It can have trouble with finer details, such as hair, so the team is working to improve the algorithm by teaching it context, such as "hair is often at the top of a face." Regardless, the days of bad photos may soon be over thanks to AI.
In the not-entirely-creepy category, Cornell is working on new "neuromorphic" computer chips. Instead of processing in binary 1's and 0's like our current computers, these chips process spikes in electrical current in complex combinations. They are hoping to mimic neural activity, and pack some powerful computation into a very small space.
As an experiment, they are building a RoboBee that can instantly respond to changes in wind. As you might expect, it is being developed using a neural network so it can learn from previous experiences.
Obviously, AI has useful applications.
Consider this: businesses are using AI to generate and analyze hypotheses on its own, to share with humans to help the humans make decisions. And, at the same time, AI can generate artificial and convincing Yelp reviews. Could this lead to AI assistants interpreting data created by AI assistants?
AI will write stories and books. The AP is already experimenting with algorithmically-written stories. Bots offer up comments in major social media platforms daily.
AI can be used to recreate anyone's voice from a small sample. An artificial voice could help someone with damaged vocal chords, or could be used as a cruel prank (a "sibling" telling you unfortunate news.) The ability to discern what is real or not is now a greater concern.
That leads us to the possibly-dangerous category. A group of scientists recently released a modification to the computer game Civilization 5 that allows for AI to be used by players, and they offer a warning: "In the modified game, artificial intelligence initially provides benefits, and eventually can turn into superintelligence that brings mastery of science to its discoverer. However, if there is too little investment in AI safety research, rogue superintelligence can destroy humanity and bring an instant loss of the game," noted the scientists.
On of the researchers, Shahar Avin , shared an insight: ""Something that struck me as surprising was if the geopolitical situation is very messy," he said. "Let's say you're stuck between two aggressive civilizations. It becomes very difficult to manage AI risk because your resources are devoted to fighting wars."
There are groups concerned about the future of AI, and one of those concerns is misalignment. This concern is that AI will become competent and powerful (not necessarily evil), but not aligned with our goals. AI is very good at reaching its goals.
A related worry is that if we cede our position as the smartest beings on the planet, we may also cede control. What happens if AI develops a weapons system we humans can't understand or out-manipulates human leaders?
AI is already an almost invisible layer in our lives. As it becomes more powerful, and combined with other technologies, steps will need to be taken to keep AI applications under control.
We might task an AI assistant to do it for us.

NB Liquor puts out tender for cannabis retail spaces in New Brunswick
NB Liquor has put out a call for tenders to provide retail spaces to sell cannabis at various locations in New Brunswick.
According to the request for proposals, the province is looking to lease spaces that are approximately 3,000 square feet in size.
READ: N.B. committee calls for government-run marijuana stores, legal age of 19
The request stipulates they are looking for facilities that have space for parking and delivery truck access.
The retail locations would be in Greater Moncton, Fredericton, Oromocto, Greater Saint John, Bathurst, Edmundston, Sackville, Shediac, Miramichi, Sussex, St. Stephen, Richibucto, Tracadie, Perth-Andover and Campbellton.
WATCH: New Brunswick creates Crown corporation to oversee marijuana sales
In September, the New Brunswick government created a new Crown corporation to oversee the sale of recreational marijuana and signed deals with two suppliers.
At the time, Finance Minister Cathy Rogers said the new Crown corporation would not directly conduct retail operations but would work with another entity to provide that framework.
READ: NB Liquor stores not best option for marijuana dispensaries, say stakeholders
The proposal says the facilities should be "substantially completed" by May 31, 2018.
The deadline for tender proposals is 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 10.
