Boy's & Girl's Soccer is in High Gear
Hawk Soccer is going well early in the season as both Girls and Boys have shown flashes of break out games.
Girls Soccer finished 2nd in the Pleasanton Tournament and just missed a chance for a 1st Place Trophy.
"We did well this past weekend by achieving a second place finish," Head Coach Ryan Tierney stated. The girls won their first game against Beeville Jones, 4-0 and then beat Pleasanton, 2-1."
Rachel Bennett had 2 goals in that first game and Chloe Cullen and Brandi Schimonsky finished out the scoring with a goal a piece.
Bennett would respond in that second game with Pleasanton scoring to start the second half and then having the winning goal with 18 seconds on the clock.
La Vernia beat CL Hawks, 1-0 in the Championship game as Canyon Lake had many opportunities for getting on the board but it was one of those games where the Bear Goalie being at the right spot.
"The Bears were a physical team," Coach Tierney recounted. "We had the possession the majority of the game but missing shots and a poor bounce off our keeper led to our loss."
Coach Tierney continued, "We still had a great tournament and played well."
Canyon Lake Ladies lost a heart breaker on Tuesday of this week to a 6A School in SA East Central, 1-0 and are now playing in the Fredericksburg Tournament starting on Thursday night.
The Hawk Boys got back on the winning track beating Florence, 5-1 on Tuesday of this week.
Grayson Rohrbacher scored 2 goals and James Alexander, Mason Blackburn, and Jordan Sczech each had a goal to finish out the scoring.
Alexander, Blackburn, Trenton Lorett and Matthew Bell each had an assist as there were several players getting into the scoring column.
"I think this win will be a huge confidence booster," Head Coach Warren Graham started. "We had at least, 70% of the possessions and we moved the ball well, our passes were sharp, and our touch when receiving the ball was good."
That was good to see as the Hawk's last game had little to brag about.
"Those four things are part of what contributed to Friday's night loss," Coach Graham assessed. "It was good to see that we were able to fix those issues."
The Hawks will continue their season with a game tomorrow on Friday the 13th and hopefully see if a Black Cat can cross in front so there will be no excuses.
Go Hawks!!

The Cybermen had hidden a bomb within a cave system on Earth, planning to detonate it to destroy the planet. While an expedition team was studying the caves, the androids were created to guard the hatch which held the bomb.
The androids made a distinctive whine and were not detectable by scanners. Their right hands had weapons embedded in them that could turn a human into a boiling puddle of molten flesh. They were fitted with monitoring so that the Cybermen could receive the images; the Cyber-Leader was also able to communicate with them. The androids were highly resistant to energy weapons and could only be destroyed by concentrated fire.
They were programmed both for survival and to strictly follow their programming. If they were damaged they wouldn't take unnecessary risks. However, a conflict between these two programmed instructions allowed the Fifth Doctor to confuse them by having Lieutenant Scott's men fire at the hatch (i.e., what they were programmed to protect). This confused the androids and allowed the soldiers to destroy them. (TV: Earthshock)
Behind the scenes Edit
- The Cyberman android costume were re-painted and used as the Raston Warrior Robot costume — a rather amusing turn of events, as the Raston Warrior Robot is a staunch enemy of the Cybermen, mostly seen destroying a number of them.
- The androids were played by Barney Lawrence and Carolyn Mary Simmonds, who remained uncredited both on-screen and in Radio Times.[1]

Big, wild curly hair is back and not just for those naturally curly haired girls. There has been a resurgence of embracing natural textures for both men and women and the bigger the better.
At The Lounge Hair Studio, our highly trained perm specialists; Briar, Alan and Mari use the latest trends and products to ensure the process is effective and long-lasting.
Types of perms:
Spiral Perm: Long perm rods create extremely tight, cascading curls or ringlets."They look like tightly wound spirals or corkscrews. Of course, how tight the curls are depends on the size of the perm rod and the various chemicals used."
Body Perm: This style of perm is perfectly suited for people with thin or flat hair. The curls will be larger and looser on hair that is naturally quite straight."This style produces loose curls and a gentle wave which is great for adding volume and a bit of life to dull hair."
Loose Wave Perm: "A gentle wavy perm will give you soft and natural-looking wavy hair that's perfect for any occasion. It's created with large rollers that add volume to your mane without making it look artificial. "This is one of our favourite styles of perm to work with as it creates beautiful body throughout that is manageable and effortless looking.
What is a Perm?
The perming process remains similar across the board with changes regarding perm wand size and also time needed to set. Disulphide bonds are applied to the hair in order to make the hair more flexible before being curled into the perming rods, this mixture will depend on the kind of perm you desire, acid, alkaline or exothermic perm. A neutralizer is then placed on the hair after the desired amount of time, working to bond your hair into its new curly structure.
Should you get Perm?
Here at The Lounge Hair Studio we strongly encourage setting up a complimentary consultation appointment to determine what hair style you are looking for.
We take great care to ensure your hair is left healthy and provide you with right tools and products for your at-home maintenance. Whether you are looking for wavy, spiral or loose perms, our hairstylists will help you pick the best style ensuring the textured, fuller look you always wanted.
Chanelle DupreDecember 11, 2018
Hello – I set up an appointment on Friday to get a deep conditioner but I would also like to have a consultation on the following – perm and extension. I would like to explore one option or another.. would there be someone available to speak to on Friday to discuss these two options? I definitely want a hair condition. Thanks
NaomiJune 17, 2019
Only two questions, keeping it simple. How much might a perm cost with this studio? And is there a vegan solution by any chance?

When most people hear the word tricycle, they begin to think about a child's bike that is designed to help them learn to ride a bicycle. There seems to be a certain stigma in our society when it comes to adults riding tricycles. Many believe that adults should ride two-wheeled bicycles. There are some facts to learn about three-wheeled bikes that might make them more appealing to own.
Tricycles were invented in the mid-1800s. It was not until the late-1800s that adult tricycles were massed produced. The two most common people to use these bikes were businesses owners and aristocrats. Businesses liked that you could haul equipment and merchandise, and for aristocrats, the bike became a status symbol (which was later replaced by the automobile).
Cargo bikes with a third wheel offer riders unmatched balancing while moving and standing still. They offer users the ability to haul cargo and even people. Wagons can be hitched to the vehicles, and special compartments can be built to carry gear around.
Adult tricycles also tend to be more comfortable than bicycles because of the weight distribution.
We carry full line bikes and trikes for adults and businesses. If you need adult tricycles for sale, let us be your first calls.

After 2005's The Squid and the Whale and now Margot, Baumbach has become a kind of poet laureate of domestic dysfunction, crafting precisely-written tales of epically strained families that exist that elicit just enough uneasy laughter to qualify as comedies. In many ways, Margot is even better than Squid, although its problems are also more pronounced. But first, the good stuff. As expected, the cast shines, from the great performance by Nicole Kidman on down. Even Jack Black, who seems like the oddball in the bunch, rises to the occasion- as Malcolm, the layabout fiancée of Margot's sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Black channels his manic presence into a role so convincingly that for the first time I could imagine him stepping outside the kuh-razy Jack Black persona in future projects. In addition, the family dynamic, especially between Margot and Pauline, rings uncannily true, with the two sisters feeling completely free to pummel one another with put-downs and snide remarks because they know each other so well- and indeed are so similar- that they know exactly how far they can go with each other. The stuff within the family- what with Margot and Pauline, and Malcolm, and Margot's distant husband and the writer she's sleeping with, plus the preteen children of Pauline and Margot, who are about as well-adjusted as kids could be under the circumstances- is so good that there's a near-masterpiece hiding inside Margot at the Wedding. So it's more than a little disappointing when Baumbach leaves the nest for even weirder pastures. Was the stuff with crazy neighbors the Voglers really necessary? I don't think so. Likewise, the business with an old family tree feels too on-the-nose symbolic for the movie, especially when it comes to when, and where, and how it comes crashing down. Still, Margot at the Wedding is sort of stunning when it's in its element, which thankfully is most of its running time. I'd gladly sit through the more iffy material again and again for moments like the one where Pauline, in mid-argument, addresses her older sister as "dude."
Also, FYI, since I saw her in The Squid and the Whale I've had a gigantic crush on Halley Feiffer, and with Margot at the Wedding it continues unabated. Just in case you were wondering.

CITES: Appendix II
(What is CITES?)
IUCN Red List: M. arctoides: VU
(What is Red List?)
Key: VU = Vulnerable
(Click on species name to see IUCN Red List entry, including detailed status assessment information.)
The most critically threatened populations of stumptails are found in
India and Bangladesh where they have not been seen since 1990 and may have
already gone extinct. In both areas, major threats include habitat
destruction and hunting (Molur et al. 2003). They are also a rarity in
Malaysia and neighboring Thailand; in 1991, they had not been recorded by
researchers since 1976 but were reportedly seen on occasion by local people
(Sharma et al. 1996).
Stump-tailed macaques shy away from human settlement and are rarely found near
areas of established human colonization But as human populations grow,
especially in India, and colonization of
primary forest begins, stumptail
macaques are increasingly threatened. The practice of
shifting agriculture, called jhum
in India, has forced stump-tailed macaques closer to humans
in addition to destroying their habitat (Srivastava 1999; Choudhury 2002).
Furthermore, as individual families clear land for gardens the primary
forest is fragmented and groups of stump-tailed macaques are isolated from
each other. The human population growth in northeastern India has reached
500,000 annually and is putting immense pressure on natural resources in
that country. In addition to land clearance for subsistence gardens,
commercialized logging, harvesting bamboo for paper mills, mining and oil
extraction are problematic and threaten stump-tailed macaque habitat in India
(Choudhury 2002; Molur et al. 2003).
Protected areas in India afford safety to stump-tailed macaques not because of
enforcement restriction of settlement in these areas, but because sheer
size prohibits humans from easily reaching the areas of densest forest
(Choudhury 2002). Continuing to designate protected areas, in addition to
enforcing protection in areas closest to human settlement, is an important
step in preserving habitat. Furthermore, education programs focusing on the
effects of shifting agriculture as well as alternative opportunities for
subsistence cultivation should be established (Choudhury 2002).
Once humans begin to impede on their range, stump-tailed macaques become the victims
of indiscriminate hunting. They are large-bodied primates and are therefore
utilized as a protein source by traditional people as well as forest settlers
(Srivastava 1999; Srivastava & Mohnot 2001; Choudhury 2002). The availability
of semi-automatic weapons has also had an effect on the rates of stumptail
macaque hunting; rather than hunting with traditional weapons such as muzzle-loading
guns or snare traps, the proliferation of semi-automatics has been effective in
killing more macaques in a shorter period of time (Choudhury 2002). They are
also hunted because of their use in traditional medicine (Molur et al. 2003).
Stump-tailed macaques are legally protected in India, but the lack of enforcement of these
laws has made them ineffective. Furthermore,
surveys conducted among local people reveal that they are unaware of the legal
prohibitions against collecting these and other forest animals (Choudhury 2002).
One way to potentially decrease the amount of poaching is to increase education,
highlighting the status of threatened species in this area.
Stump-tailed macaques are very shy and wary of people and do not often
raid crops, but when they do,
they are usually quite destructive. Farmers often shoot and kill
raiding macaques (Srivastava 1999; Choudhury 2002).

Seychelles – The last refugee of the Earth conquered by people
My perfect vacation has some ingredients, like: 30 degrees, beautiful turquoise waters with the white sand, or coral reefs. I discovered all of these in Seychelles in one wonderful week spent there.
A field with impeccable beaches, full of quietness and not crowded. Some of them are framed by granite cliffs millennial covered with fine sand and turquoise waters. These "pieces of heaven" offered me great opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, diving, surf or, simply…relaxation.
But, let's talk about how my adventure begun in Seychelles.
The journey to the "Indian Ocean paradise"
The journey to Seychelles Islands took me about 20 hours with an eight hours stop at Istanbul. I chose the "Turkish Airline" which made that the time spent in plane literally "to fly". I didn't realize how time flew away, because the crew on board spoiled me with delicious food, many drinks and great movies.
Staying at Kempinski Seychelles Resort
My dreamlike location in this vacation was the resort "Kempinski", which combines in the same time the luxury with the comfort. It is exactly what it has to be it just takes your breath away when someone passes its threshold. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, gifted with canopy bed and a wonderful view to the beach. The stuff's so friendly and their food is delicious.
The kitchen in the Seychelles's Archipelago it's a combination between French, Indian and African food. Their preparations are mostly well flavored with various local spices. As a recommendation for chilling out on the beach I suggest you to taste the hibiscus iced tea, a delicacy! If we're still on this subject, I'll confess that I've abused a little of their gym and their creole rice recipe which was simply addictive.
Memories from the wonderful places
In the days spent on the Island I had the opportunity to see many wonders of nature. Several species of creatures that remained in my mind are: flying fox, african giant centipede, crabs of all sizes, giant african snail, giant turtles, various species of birds, stingrays, or octopus.
The experience was interesting because I had somehow to "hunt" the right time to see them in the wild and admire them in their full splendor.
My curiosity made me visit the Islands Praslin and La Digue…
"La Digue", the most beautiful island in the world
After a pleasant ferry trip, I stepped on the most beautiful island, "La Digue". It is the fourth largest island in the archipelago and is known mainly due to its beaches that attract thousands of tourists annually.
White sand beaches, the colour of the water of an unreal turquoise, palm and coconut trees in the immediate vicinity of the beaches have made the island to be considered one of the finest in the world.
I wanted to admire it all in its splendor so I did rent a bike which I did ride across the island, through its dense and cool forests, immortalizing in this way images that I will never erase from my mind. Finally, I tempered my thirst with a coconut, sitting on the beach, in the sound of the waves and the purity of the landscape created by the Indian Ocean.
I stop writing here and leave you to draw the conclusions from the photos posted below enjoy!

Congress Threatened with Martial Law?
This should make you go 'hmmmm'…
Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out "Crowd Control"
Members of Congress were told they could face martial law if they didn't pass the bailout bill. This will not be the last time.
Background: the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing "unruly individuals," and the management of a national emergency. I am in Seattle and heard from the brother of one of the soldiers that they are engaged in exercises now. Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks.
George Bush struck down Posse Comitatus, thus making it legal for military to patrol the U.S. He has also legally established that in the "War on Terror," the U.S. is at war around the globe and thus the whole world is a battlefield. Thus the U.S. is also a battlefield.
He also led change to the 1807 Insurrection Act to give him far broader powers in the event of a loosely defined "insurrection" or many other "conditions" he has the power to identify. The Constitution allows the suspension of habeas corpus — habeas corpus prevents us from being seized by the state and held without trial — in the event of an "insurrection." With his own army force now, his power to call a group of protesters or angry voters "insurgents" staging an "insurrection" is strengthened.
U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman of California said to Congress, captured on C-Span and viewable on YouTube, that individual members of the House were threatened with martial law within a week if they did not pass the bailout bill:
"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. … Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day and a couple of thousand on the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no."If this is true and Rep. Sherman is not delusional, I ask you to consider that if they are willing to threaten martial law now, it is foolish to assume they will never use that threat again. It is also foolish to trust in an orderly election process to resolve this threat. And why deploy the First Brigade? One thing the deployment accomplishes is to put teeth into such a threat.
Would THIS be the October Surprise?
I mean, you would hate to have to start donning your tin foil hats and all of that, but it does seem a bit strange that first we have the Third Infantry Division of 3-4,000 troops deployed on the East coast just as the news of the economy starts taking hold in the American conversation.
There have always been the persistent rumors that George Bush doesn't really plan on relinquishing his office any time soon, and that he doesn't plan on letting a pesky election get in his way — especially if that big-earred black man stands the chance of actually winning out over the pasty old white guy.
Naw… it could never happen that way….

Dash Kits
Mustang Body KitWritten by Genevieve Hawkins
As one of the most popular types of car for this kind of work, Mustang body kits are easy to find online. For model years dating back to 1966, there are pre-assembled kits with extra features for your Mustang GT. Specific body kits for Mustangs such as the Black Spider II are some of the best selling in the nation.
Ford Body Kits
Because of its sporty look, its classic history, and its simple design, the Ford Mustang is a favorite car for auto accessories. Auto dash kits, customized rims, and license plate covers are just a few of the many parts that Mustang buyers have purchased in the last few decades. Along with them, however, there exists an opportunity to radically change the rather plain exterior of the Mustang with pre-sold body kits.
Because there are some common color models pre-made, it is possible to get car body kits for your Mustang cheaper than some other brands. Usually, a kit will contain ground effects, fender flares, sport mirrors, and sometimes a wing. The buyer of the kit is allowed to mix and match parts to a certain degree, making it easy to give the vehicle a personalized unique look.
Ford Mustang body kits tend to cost between 400 and 1,000 dollars, although some may be slightly more or less. As someone has to install the kits after painting the pieces to match the finish on a car, the process is cheaper than it could otherwise be. The results, however, are sure to turn people's heads.

S-185 Gatsby "dual gatemaker" module for Eurorack/Doepfer A100 system.
From top:
gate length knob + CV in jack (ch1)
gate length knob + CV in jack (ch2)
trig/gate input jack (ch1) + LED
trig/gate input jack (ch2) + LED
gate output (ch1) + LED
gate output (ch2) + LED
S-185 makes gates. Rising edge of input trig (or gate) starts output gate generation, gate length is set by knob or by input CV (knob then works as attenuator for input CV). Inputs are normalled so two different gate lengths can be created from one input at time (using input1 as input for both channels). Minimum output time about 1ms (so it can be used as gate-to-trig converter too). Top jumper header set = max. gate time up to 1s, removed = up to 8s. Bottom jumper set = retrigger mode (if new input comes while output gate is active, counting gate length starts again with incomming input making long uninterrupted gate if input is faster than output gate length), bottom jumper removed = "keep gate length" mode (ignoring incomming inputs while timing of output gate, makes gates according to knob/CV setting).
Width: 4TE/ 4HP/ 20mm
Depth: 40mm /1,6″ max.
Current: 20mA max.
Power cable included
Double check power connection before powering your system please.
"Red strip" means -12V connector side in Eurorack standards.
In some power distribution systems connector key can be reverted.
In this case cut connector key and plug power connector right way (with respect to red strip) or use different power cable appropriate to your power system

Candice Millard's mind explores the world on a daily basis. She's a former writer and editor at National Geographic magazine. She's written on Ethiopian Christians and the lost Ark. Her latest work,The River of Doubt, is an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait -- the true story of Theodore Roosevelt's harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth. The River of Doubt is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron.

Having read The River of Doubt and enjoyed it tremendously, I agree that Candice Millard would be fascinating to meet online, but since she doesn't seem to have her own web page (at least not one you've linked to), how would one go about doing that?
I read an interview of Candice Millard online and it was excellent. She put so much work and care into writing the book and it shows. Truly someone we would all want to meet online or to see speaking or lecturing. But there is so little available on her.
I just finished this book and it was riveting. I read a review of it and though I would never be interested in Theordore Roosevelt OR the Amazon, I couldn't put it down. I learned so much. She is so talented that I wanted to send her an e-mail, but cannot find a way to do that. OH well, hope she finds this link.......
I too am in the process of reading "River of Doubt". As a student of TR, I have read many accounts of his Amazon expedition, even his own book "Through the Brazilian Wilderness". This truely is a wonderful and exciting account. I also would like to personnaly congratulate Ms. Millard.

THE RIVER OF DOUBT is one of the best presidential biographies I have ever read, right up there with JOHN ADAMS by David McCullough. I forced myself to read a Pulitzer Prize winning bio of Theodore Roosevelt but THE RIVER OF DOUBT, I could not put down until the last page. I also wanted to send an email to Ms Millard to compliment her on an outstanding accomplishment. I am emailing my friends to highly recommend this book!!!
I also have read The River of Doubt and enjoyed it very much. I would like to hear her speak on her research into her work. I am looking forward to additional works that Ms. Millard comes out with in the future.
I would like to send her an e-mail, in her book Roosevelt had an infection that needed attention when he arrived to safety. My Grandfather was the doctor that operated in this more serious malady. She might want to know details.
The River of Doubt is sensational, tense and intense at the same time. In addition to the character portrait, the understanding of the incredible natural world that confronted TR's journey is beyond compelling. Do you, Candace, give public talks? If so, you are hereby invited to speak at Rosemont College just outside Philadelphia.
Many thanks, Bob
Many thanks, Bob
The River of Doubt is a real page turner. All the collateral information from the time really enlivens the writing. Having been to Brazilian jungle on the Rio Uriqueria, N of Boa Vista, the writing makes me sweat, itch and remember with awe the denseness of the jungle. I long to go back. Tom. Arlington, TN
River of Doubt is a great book. The Amazonian reagion is a fascinating world, and Ms. Millard did a wonderful job depicting the jungle and the dangerous in it. As a Brazilian I was curious why she spells the city of Manaus as Manaos I have never seen that spelling before, if anyone out there know why it was spelled that why, please post your answer here.
i'm brazilian and just loved the book.I think there's nothing to add, it was a wonderful work.
I wish have her email to send greetings and invite her to come to brazil, lately she has a lot of fans here.

I just finished the River of Doubt and I was less than impressed. The book is slow and choppy in its delivery. The story is cluttered with detail at the beginning and then dramatically turns to a brief synopsis as the story turns to the actual journey. The ending does not fail to disappoint as it is both abrupt and extremely anticlimactic. I am not familiar with her other works but I was not satisfied with this one.
Prezada Candice,
Acabei de ler seu livro "O Rio da Dúvida" e não podia deixar de parabenizá-la.
Redescobre dois heróis: Roosevelt e Rondon.

candice milard is my aunt! she's so excited and happy with this book, she's already started work on another one. i'll tell you the concept is very interesting but i won't reveal any more than that. she thanks all her fans for their support, but she does not hold online chats with them. if you want to talk with her i suggest going to one of her talks or book signings.
One of my favorite books up and until reading River of Doubt was Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit. Both of these fine books and fine authors demonstrate the high art of bringing the reader directly into the experiences of which they write. Seabiscuit left me feeling like a horse owner and River of Doubt left me feeling like a bug bitten, emaciated jungle explorer. I could not put River of Doubt down until I was finished with it, and then found myself wishing I'd rationed chapters just as Roosevelt and team did their supplies.
I am the great-great grandson of G K Cherrie, one of the members of the River of Doubt expedition. I met Candice Millard at the Explorers' Club in NYC when her book was released and I would really like to contact her. Does anyone have an email address or contact information for her? Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you can help. Thanks.
Outstanding book. It almost reads like a Jack DuBrul Novel. It just goes to show you that that truth can be better than fiction. With the right writer and of course TR's personality,you have a great read. She makes you realize the struggles, both mental and physical. And reminds me how much i hate mosquitoes! Not to mention I learned things about our planets geography That I did not know. Another plus! Thanks for a great book!
Candice, vivo em Rondônia e acabei de ler seu livro, muito bom! Parabens(congratulations)!
Poderíamos organizar uma escursão pelo RIO DA DÚVIDA para comemorar 100 anos da viagem de RONDON e ROOSEVELT, o que voce acha...Faríamos o mesmo percurso com guias locais etc.

Candice is my aunt, she married mark uhlig, my mom's brother my moms maiden name is lori annie uhlig and she has a facebook but i don't know if she lets anyone add her, but let me tell you, she is soooo so sweet in person, a great mom too! :D if you have questions email me at firstname.lastname@example.com :D
I had the pleasure of meeting Candice on a Southwest flight to Baltimore yesterday. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have met her until now.
I am a fan of any Presidential biographies and background stories concerning U.S. Presidents. Was absolutely lost into 'The River of Doubt'. Thank you, thank you thank you for one of the most enjoyable reads in a very long while.
As an aside, I had no idea who Candice Millard was until looking for more of her works then stumbled upon a photo taken at a lecture. At the risk of sounding totally sexist I must comment that not only does she have a gift with word, Candice is fabulously attractive. Kudos to you Ms. Millard. Keep the good works coming.

Ms Millard! Your story of the TR and Amazon is just breathtaking. Some time ago I read the very "Theodore Rex", but I was badly missing an equally great story on the showing TR as an explorer. Thank you for filling this gap! Besides, as a forest ecologist studying northern forests, your story makes me feel really blessed :)
Ms. Millard takes the reader on a delightful and accurate journey through time. It's refreshing to have found a new young writer I can get excited about.Post a Comment

European Commission has met with German and French officials today to clarify legal position of Daimler and non-compliant refrigerant and French ban on new Mercedes A, B and CLA models
The EU Commission is having a crunch meeting today in a bid to break the deadlock between Germany and the rest of Europe over German carmakers' refusal to comply with the MAC Directive.
A meeting of the EU executive board yesterday confirmed that the French government's decision not to register new non-compliant Mercedes models was legal, but stressed that they needed to retrospectively ask formal permission from the Commission.
Germany has allowed Daimler to continue to produce new A, B and CLA models with R134a refrigerant, in defiance of the MAC Directive, which bans refrigerant with a GWP of above 150.
As a result, MEPs have called for the EC to make an example of Germany for allowing its carmakers to defy its Directive - and therefore to gain an economic advantage with the cheaper R134a - by issuing infringement proceedings, which could include daily fines.
Among the options open to national governments is to refuse to register non-compliant cars, as France has done.
Last night Industry Commissioner Antonio Tajani said he hoped the meeting would assist in finding concrete and urgent solutions' to re-establish conformity in the EU internal market.
The current only alternative, HFO 1234 yf has just had its GWP re-assessed at less than 1, lower than even CO2 (see story here). Daimler claims that the HFO ignites in a simulated head-on collision whereas R134a doesn't.\
Car research group SAE International has declared the HFO to have an 'extremely low' risk of ignition and all the other global carmakers have agreed that 1234yf is safe to install in new models.
However, industry insiders say they expect the first MAC alternative to be given the go-ahead in October at the SAE's Thermal Management conference. R444A and R445A (Mexichem's AC5 and AC6 products) have been shown to have good thermal and safety properties by the SAE's researchers. (see story here)

Peter's photography speaks for itself; but above and beyond that, I much appreciated his unstinting, affable and understated way of helping people really enhance their photographic experience and results.
I had a fantastic time. Sitting here less than a week later back at work it feels like some sort of vague dream already.
What can I say? Brilliant locations, food, accommodation, teaching and non-stop laughs.
I've always had a great love of photography, even before I knew I was interested in it. However, I haven't always been a photographer. Until 2005, I was a computer systems engineer working in the US, having moved there in the mid-nineties. Around the year 2000, I started to take an active interest in photography...More About Peter >

FutureWorks powers DOP Pankaj Kumar with the latest camera gear for Rangoon
Nadiadwala Grandson's Rangoon opens in cinemas today and all those who have caught the first glimpse of the film, can't stop raving about how wonderfully the makers have recreated and captured the 40's era in the film. Set in the backdrop of Bollywood in1944, Rangoon is an epic love story with undertones of battles and betrayals.
Directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, the film is being particularly appreciated for its strikingly magical cinematography. It is said to effortlessly transport you to that period as DOP Pankaj Kumar has done a brilliant job in capturing the era as well as magnanimously projecting it.
Shot extensively in Arunachal Pradesh, the film has larger than life sequences that include both action and musicals. Talking about his experience in filming Rangoon, DOP Pankaj Kumar said, "Rangoon was written for a cinematic experience, so everything had to be grand. We chose to shoot in Arunachal Pradesh because it was still untouched and unseen and that is why it looks so beautiful on-screen. Vishal had said to me that everything must look majestic, so I went in with the idea that we are creating an epic spectacle. The experience was hugely adventurous."
The film was shot on RED's latest 'Weapon6K' with Cooke 5i Lenses. The entire camera equipment for the film was provided by FutureWorks Camera Rental Division. FutureWorks Camera Rental was set up in 2014 and has quickly become a leader in this space being the preferred destination of esteemed Cinematographer's like Anil Mehta, Ravi K Chandran, Sethu, Mohanan, Ayanaka Bose to name a few and has serviced films like Dangal, Sultan, Raees, Airlift and others.
Some upcoming projects being serviced by FutureWorks Camera Rental include Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Naam Shabana, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Haseena and Munna Michael.

A critical factor in choosing a successful scaleout strategy is recognizing that applications deal with multiple types of data, and each type of data imposes different requirements on a scaleout architecture. When you only have one database, it's easier to just treat all data the same, but when you start splitting up and replicating data for scaleout, it's important to understand how data is used, so that the correct solution can be chosen. In many applications, multiple scaleout approaches are required, because multiple types of data are involved.

Gonçalo Amaral offers a glimpse of what is coming…
"There are things that we need to clarify. It's important to understand the role of Mr David Payne in this story. He was on holidays with Maddie's family when the little girl disappeared, and right on the 16th of May, an English doctor told the British authorities that on another occasion, when she and her husband were on the beachside with the McCanns and their friends, that gentleman had made obscene gestures, of a sexual nature, about the girl… That doctor also told that David liked to bathe the little girls…
Now, if he was part of the group of adults that went to check on Maddie and her siblings… he was one of the last persons to see her alive. It would be important to find out how much time he spent with the little girl doing what, but information about this lady's statements only arrived in Portugal in October, at a time when I was not even on the case anymore.
This is one of the various important things that were ignored.
Someone pretended he didn't know about this…"

Chico, Calif. -- Chico student artists came together Thursday night to raise money for a local homeless shelter.
The 17th annual Chico Empty Bowls fundraiser sold ceramic bowls to raise money for the Torres Community Shelter.
The non-profit shelter provides beds, meals and hot showers to the homeless community.
Guests picked out ceramic bowls made by students at Chico and Pleasant Valley High School.
Torres Shelter Executive Director Joy Amaro said the number of overnight stays at the shelter are rising, averaging 99 per night over the last year.
In November the shelter reached capacity one night with 160 people, 34 of whom were children.
"We made these bowls over here and now I'm volunteering to greet these people so it's kind of a nice way to come out and help people," said Ezrah Hankins, a Pleasant Valley High School student.
"Even with inclement weather, the people just line up at the doors and get to pick their favorite bowl and warm soup and it's all an effort to feed the homeless," said Amaro.
After picking a bowl, guests chose a soup to eat. The food was donated by local businesses such as Tong Fong Low, La Hacienda and Panighetti's.

A week ago, our very own Peter announced the Micromax Canvas A1 handset as one of the first Android One devices to be launched in the Indian market. The Canvas A1 is priced a little higher than the other two new Android One devices at Rs 6,499 (about £65 or $107) compared with the Rs 6,399 Karbonn Sparkle V and the Rs 6,299 Spice Dream Uni Mi-498. We're seeing the first reviews of these three Android One handsets and given that they have very similar specifications, it's no surprise that they receive the same praise and criticism. All three perform admirably packing a quad core MediaTek processor under the skin with 1 GB of RAM. Android One devices get the stock Android interface, which we already know is smooth and fluid on quite low end hardware such as the Moto E (this uses a dual core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor). Reviews point out that the one area where the devices occasionally stumble is when using the multitasking button, which I've personally experienced on many devices. The lag is associated with memory: it's a combination of memory transfer speeds and running low on it (it's something I first experienced with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich).
Otherwise, these Android One devices perform admirably with one exception: the camera. These devices come with a 5 MP camera, which is described as "quite good for the price tag." I suppose this depends on your perspective, but of all the things to skimp on, I'd put the camera as being high on the list. Seeing as the Android One devices run stock Google, they come with the Google Camera application and this has the same nifty features that we see on the Nexus 5 including Lens Blur, Photospheres, Panoramas, HDR mode and manual control over white balance and exposure. The hardware behind the software is lacking: but this same level of criticism can be leveled at even the best camera smartphones as they're not as good as a dedicated camera for the same cost.
But there's more. Although the Android One devices come with (limited) onboard storage, it appears that the modest camera is disabled until a MicroSD card is installed. The Micromax and Karbonn devices are bundled with an 8 GB MicroSD card in the Indian market but the Spice does not come with one at the time of writing. This means that the customer would either need to accept that he or she can't take photographs… or buy a MicroSD card. Perhaps this limitation will be resolved with the launch of Android L but I would not be so sure; the risk is that Android L is larger in size compared with Android Kit Kat and so might reduce the available space in internal storage.
What do our readers think? Do you agree that the camera is the best place to save costs? Or would you prefer a cheaper, slower processor in exchange for a better camera sensor?

- Children have higher self-respect and control of their lives when they know their own family history, and are closer to their family. Generally, family meals will reflect the religious, ethnic, or cultural background of the family. A family's cultural identity can be seen in the what, how, and when the family eats.
- Eating meals together can encourage open communication and build strong, healthy relationships. For younger children, the routine family meals can provide security and belonging.
- Children are more likely to get better grades in school, and have better language skills.
- Children are less likely to have substance abuse problems.
- When children eat family dinners more often they make healthier eating choices (even outside of the home) and eat more vegetables and fruit.
Here are some ways you can get children helping in the kitchen. Choose tasks that are appropriate for your child's age:
- Help set the table
- Put pets, toys, or books in another room
- Turn off the TV
- Pour milk
- Put down placemats
- Hand out napkins and silverware
- Clear the table
- Wipe the table
- Wash fruits and vegetable
- Clean dishes
- Teach kids basic cooking skills like cracking eggs, measuring ingredients, sauteing veggies and more
For fast family dinners, you can:
- Find quick and easy recipes to cook such as stir-fried meat and vegetables, sandwiches, quesadillas, or quick soups and salads. Check out our healthy recipes at: http://www.healthyhandscooking.com
- Do work the day before the dinner. Some tasks such as washing and cutting vegetables, making a fruit salad, cooking lean ground beef or turkey for burritos or chili can be done beforehand. Store items in the fridge until ready for use.

Jessica Smith
cience, including eight Nobel Laureates, gathered at Arizona State University for the Origins Symposium which took place April 3-6, and culminated in a full day of public lecture and panel discussion on topics such as string theory, evolutionary biology, cosmology, paleoanthropology, genomics and language and cognition. Also discussed were black holes, the Large Hadron Collider, dark matter, extra dimensions, the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, the importance of establishing colonies on the moon as soon as possible and reigniting a love for science in the classroom.
Dr. Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist at ASU, was partly responsible for organizing the Symposium.
"I'm particularly proud to be here for so many reasons, but one of the reasons is that we have a 3,000 seat auditorium that is essentially sold out for 12 hours of science, and I think that says something about the people of Phoenix," Krauss said.
The public symposium was broken into three sessions, the morning session featured Steven Pinker, Don Johanson and Brian Greene; the afternoon session included Richard Dawkins, Craig Venter and Krauss.
After lunch there was a panel discussion with Nobel Laureates Baruch Blumberg, David Gross, Walter Gilbert, Sheldon Glashow, John Mather and Frank Wilczek.
The evening session began with a magic show from Jason Latimer, World Champion of Magic, followed by another panel on science and culture that featured Hugh Downs, Claudia Dreifus, Lucy Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Ann Druyan.
The evening concluded with a virtual presentation by Steven Hawking, in which his daughter Lucy presented Hawking's slides to his pre-recorded lecture, as he was not able to attend at the last minute because of an illness.
The Origins Symposium was held to kick off a larger Origins Initiative, taking place at ASU.
This initiative is a new interdisciplinary venture that will support university-wide research and new curriculum related to the origins of the universe and humanity.
ASU President Michael Crow's motivation behind this venture was to sponsor something that would renew thoughtful scientific inquiry within all programs of study, from astrophysics to humanities.
The Origins Initiative is headed by Krauss, who also presented on the topic of cosmology at the Symposium provided the following insight.
"Even though we are cosmically insignificant we should really enjoy our brief moment in the sun, when we are lucky enough to have evolved the facilities to explore the universe back to its earliest moments and to its far future. That's what science is all about," Krauss said.
Despite the intricacies of the theories discussed and research debated, the underlying theme of the day indicated that scientific inquiry into the beginnings of the universe was invariably connected to the present human condition and its future.
In an effort to give a definition of science and the role of the scientist in the community, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, "Do whatever it takes to not fool yourself into thinking one thing over another in deducing the nature of the world around you, that's what science is.

Victim, Survivor, Or Transformer – What Kind Of Project Manager Are You?
when relevant content is
added and updated.
As a Project Manager, you always need to take a stock of situation about your current state and what state you want to acquire. Are you a victim, survivor, or transformer? Beyond whatever amount of knowledge and power you have, the most important factor in your success is an effort. It is, in fact, the amount of effort that matters in your success or failure. A continous habit of pumping a fresh quantum of effort is always good for transformation. Acquiring a position of a successful project manager is good to have. There is always a scope of improvement in life and work. A change is always welcome in that regard that should help you upscale your current state. If you are a victim, you will always blame your team for their problems. In that case, you will hesitate in taking any onus. Neither will you put any efforts.
It is important for a project manager to look into a mirror often and ask himself if I am a victim, survivor, or transformer. A victim project manager will lack deep connection with his teams. His engagement in project also will lack depth and appear shallow. Despite having a good knowledge, if you are a project manager in its category, you will not be living your project which is very important for the success of a project. A person who is not able to take care of his own wounds will not be able to serve others well. On the other hand, a transformer always looks back to pick best and worst parts of his experience. It helps in learning ways to enhance his own skills and inspire others to excel. That is why, understanding your role is a very important thing to ensure its success.
Victim, Survivor, Or Transformer – What Are You?
Among victim, survivor, or transformer, a victim will always blame others for everything. A project manager in a survival mode will become obsessive, fastidious, and workaholic. Work will be his safest place against any kind of disappointment or mistake. This category of project managers define themself by their success and tell the story of their career often. For both these cateogories of project managers, learning how to transform is very important.

Just off the public areas of Longwood Gardens is Red Lion Row, a street of housing originally constructed for the Longwood workers in the early 1900s and meticulously maintained ever since. This one had features that instantly produced a flash of recognition of my childhood house in East Lansdowne.
The first was the dressed-stone foundation supporting the stucco walls that I remember now that I see it. Our foundation also was real stone, not a fake veneer over cinder blocks, and the cellar windows peeked through it (we always called it a cellar, never a basement). On our house, the coal delivery truck stuck their chute through one of these open windows to reach the coal bin on the other side (see 12/13/2007 posting).
But the main source of recognition is the first-floor windows with the divided panes above the large single pane below. My theory is that at that time large panes of window glass were available but still expensive. It made sense to make the lower sash one single pane to give an unobstructed view, but the upper sash was only for admitting light, so several smaller panes were more economical.

Present Laughter is a comic play written by Noël Coward in 1939 and first staged in 1942 on tour, alternating with his lower middle-class domestic drama This Happy Breed. Later Coward's new play Blithe Spirit was added to the repertory for the tour.
The play's title comes from a song in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, which urges carpe diem ("present mirth hath present laughter"), and so the word present in the title should be pronounced as the adjective , not the verb .
The plot follows a few days in the life of the successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to travel for a touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of events bordering on farce, Garry has to deal with women who want to seduce him, placate both his long-suffering secretary and his estranged wife, cope with a crazed young playwright, and overcome his impending mid-life crisis (since he has recently turned forty). The story was described by Coward as "a series of semi-autobiographical pyrotechnics".[1]
Coward starred as Garry Essendine in Present Laughter during the original run. Later productions have featured actors such as Nigel Patrick, Albert Finney, Peter O'Toole, Simon Callow and Ian McKellen in the lead role. The play has enjoyed numerous revivals in Europe and North America – including a US tour in 1958 with Coward reprising the Essendine role.
Coward wrote: "Present Laughter is a very light comedy and was written with the sensible object of providing me with a bravura part".[2] He completed the playscript (as well as the one for This Happy Breed) in 1939, before the outbreak of World War II, but did not produce the plays until 1942. Given the hero's repeated laments over his own ageing and mortality, the title can be seen as ironic. Coward acknowledged that the central character, the egocentric actor Garry Essendine, was a self-caricature.[3] Coward repeats one of his signature theatrical devices at the end of the play, where the main characters tiptoe out as the curtain falls – a device that he also used in Private Lives, Hay Fever and Blithe Spirit.
Coward had served the British government in intelligence work in the early years of the war.[4] Winston Churchill advised Coward that he could do more for the war effort by entertaining the troops and the home front: "Go and sing to them when the guns are firing – that's your job!"[5] Though disappointed, Coward followed this advice. He toured, acted and sang indefatigably in Europe, Africa, Asia and America.[6] The play was first produced in Blackpool in September 1942, during Coward's wartime tour of Britain after he returned to the theatre.[7][8] Sets and costumes were designed by Gladys Calthrop.[9]
The notices were excellent, with The Observer writing: "Mr Coward's production is so inventive, and his own performance so adroit in its mockery of the vain, posturing, and yet self-scrutinising and self-amused matinee idol, that Present Laughter is likely to be future mirth for as long as Mr Coward cares to run it."[10] The Manchester Guardian added: "One is tempted to cast discretion to the winds and predict that this will be remembered as the best comedy of its kind and generation...one of those rare occasions when the critic must claim the privilege of his fellow-playgoers, simply to marvel, admire, and enjoy wholeheartedly."[11] Coward brought the play to the Haymarket Theatre, London, in April 1947, where The Times praised it as "a wittily impudent and neatly invented burlesque of a French farce."[12] Coward also played in a French translation, Joyeux Chagrins, in Paris in 1948.[13]
The play is published in Methuen's Noël Coward: Collected Plays Volume Four.
The play has been regularly revived. The first major West End revival was in 1965, with Nigel Patrick as Garry. The Times wrote: "plays as funny as this are no longer being written in England."[14] Notable successors in the role of Garry include Albert Finney (1977), Peter O'Toole (1978), Donald Sinden (1981), Tom Conti (1993), Peter Bowles (1996), Ian McKellen (1998), Rik Mayall (2003), Simon Callow (2006), and Robert Bathurst (2009). The Royal National Theatre revived the play in 2007 and 2008 with Alex Jennings as Garry. As many of the star actors have been significantly older than the fortyish Garry when they played the part, the text has sometimes been changed to refer to his recent fiftieth birthday.
In September 1956, a radio production was broadcast by the BBC with John Gielgud as Garry, Nora Swinburne as Liz and Mary Wimbush as Joanna. In 1974, Paul Scofield broadcast the lead role for the BBC, with Fenella Fielding as Joanna, Patricia Routledge as Monica, Miriam Margolyes as Daphne, and Joy Parker (Scofield's real wife) as Liz. In April 2013, a radio adaptation directed by Celia de Wolff was broadcast on BBC Radio 4; it featured Samuel West as Garry, Freddie Fox as Roland, Susannah Harker as Joanna, Frances Barber as Monica, Janie Dee as Liz, Anthony Calf as Morris, Lily James as Daphne, Sarah Badel as Lady Saltburn, and Jonathan Coy as Henry.
Present Laughter was first staged in the United States on 29 October 1946 at the Circle in the Square Theatre, which featured the Broadway début of Nathan Lane as Roland Maule. It also featured Kate Burton as Daphne, Christine Lahti as Joanna and Jim Piddock as Fred. It ran for 175 performances. In 1996 Frank Langella starred as Garry, and Allison Janney played Liz. This also ran for 175 performances, at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival presented the play in 2003 with Brent Harris as Garry and Kim Rhodes in the role of Daphne. A further Broadway revival opened on 21 January 2010 at the American Airlines Theatre, presented by the Roundabout Theatre Company, featuring Victor Garber as Garry, Lisa Banes as Liz and Harriet Harris as Monica.[16]
All three acts of the play are set in Garry Essendine's London flat.
Daphne Stillington, a young admirer of the actor Garry Essendine, has inveigled herself into the flat and has spent the night there. Garry is still asleep, and while waiting for him to wake, Daphne encounters in turn three employees of Garry, housekeeper (Miss Erikson), valet (Fred), and secretary (Monica). None of them displays any surprise at her presence. Garry finally wakes and with practised smoothness ushers Daphne out.
Liz Essendine, who left Garry years ago, nevertheless remains part of his tightly-knit 'family' along with Monica and his manager, Morris Dixon, and producer, Henry Lyppiatt. Liz tells Garry that she suspects that Morris is having an affair with Henry's glamorous wife Joanna, and is concerned that this might break up the family. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Roland Maule, an aspiring young playwright from Uckfield, whose play Garry has rashly agreed to critique. Liz leaves, and Roland rapidly becomes obsessively fascinated by Garry, who gets him off the premises as quickly as he can.
Morris and Henry arrive and discuss theatrical business with Garry. Henry leaves for a business trip abroad, and Garry privately interrogates Morris, who denies that he is having an affair with Joanna. Garry telephones Liz to reassure her.
Garry, alone in the flat, answers the doorbell to find Joanna. She claims (like Daphne in Act I) to have forgotten her own doorkey and asks Garry to accommodate her in his spare room. He correctly suspects her motives, but after much skirmishing allows himself to be seduced.
Joanna emerges from the spare room wearing Garry's pyjamas just as Daphne did in Act I. She too encounters Miss Erikson, Fred, and then Monica, who is horrified at her presence in such compromising circumstances. Liz arrives and puts pressure on Joanna by threatening to tell Morris that Joanna has spent the night with Garry. Joanna retreats to the spare room when the doorbell rings, but the caller is not Morris but Roland Maule, who says he has an appointment with Garry. Monica leads him to an adjacent room to wait for Garry.
Frantic comings and goings follow, with the flustered arrivals and departures of Morris and Henry, Roland's pursuit of Garry, and the arrival of a Lady Saltburn, whose niece Garry has promised an audition. The niece turns out to be Daphne Stillington, who recites the same Shelley poem with which he bade her farewell in Act I. Joanna flounces out from the spare room, Daphne faints with horror, Roland is entranced, and Garry is apoplectic.
A week later, on the eve of Garry's departure on tour in Africa, he is once more alone in the flat. The doorbell rings and Daphne enters saying she has a ticket to sail with him to Africa. The doorbell rings again, and Daphne retreats to an adjoining room. The new caller is Roland, who announces that he too has a ticket for the voyage to Africa. Garry tries to get him to leave, but as the doorbell rings a third time Roland bolts into the spare room and locks the door. The third caller is Joanna, who has also bought a ticket for the Africa voyage and has written a letter to Henry and Morris telling them everything. Liz arrives and saves the tottering situation, announcing that she too is travelling to Africa.
Henry and Morris arrive and berate Garry for his night with Joanna. Garry fights back by revealing the details of Morris and Joanna's affair, and Henry's extramarital adventures. Joanna angrily slaps Garry's face and leaves for good. Her departure goes unnoticed because Garry, Henry and Morris have become embroiled in what for them is a much more serious row when it emerges that Henry and Morris have committed Garry to appear at what he considers a shockingly unsuitable theatre. Garry objects: "I will not play a light French comedy to an auditorium that looks like a Gothic edition of Wembley Stadium."[17] When that row has blown itself out, it is business as usual and Henry and Morris leave in good humour.
Liz pours Garry a brandy and tells him she is not only going to Africa with him but is coming back to him for good. Garry suddenly remembers Daphne and Roland lurking in the adjoining rooms and tells Liz: "You're not coming back to me... I'm coming back to you",[18] and they tiptoe out.
In the 1970s Peter Hall wrote "what a wonderful play it would be if – as Coward must have wanted – all those love affairs were about homosexuals".[19] Whether or not Coward would have agreed, in the 1940s the transformation of real-life gay relationships into onstage straight ones was essential. The play nevertheless contains many references to Coward's own life. Monica is "unmistakably Lorn Loraine",[20] Coward's long-serving and much-loved secretary. Morris has been seen as Coward's agent and sometime lover Jack Wilson, and Henry as Binkie Beaumont.[21] Liz, played originally by Joyce Carey, is thought to be based partly on the actress herself, who was a member of Coward's inner circle.[22]
