Attention all anime lovers! This call is definitely going to catch the eye of so many because the popularity of anime all around the globe is unparalleled. And the fan base isn't just children; there are young and adults both going crazy over it for decades literally.
Anime is a whole lot better than cartoons; kind of an upgrade in fact. The stories are complex, the characters are better designed, and have different shades to their personalities. It is the perfect combination of a feature film and animation.
Mainly originated from Asian countries, mostly Japan, anime goes back a long time in history.
It was first created by Japan in 1917. But it gained popularity sometime around 1960 when people started developing a liking towards it. Since then there has never been a dull or low moment in the anime industry.
What is NarutoSpot?
If we're talking about anime, then the first name to pop up in the mind of most people is NarutoSpot. But for those who don't know. Here's what it is. NarutoSpot is CandyLand for anime lovers.
The collection of anime on the site is literally in millions. It has full-length movies, short stories, web series, and even smaller clips. All sorts of material are available on the site.
Among its competitors and contemporaries, it stands to hold the topmost position because of the love showered by its fans.
Speaking of the interface, NarutoSpot Ref has been rated to have the most user-friendly interface. The site itself suggests the latest videos to users when they open the page. There is also a 'Random Section' which opens up any video if you are unable to choose.
If you want to know what other people are watching these days, then for that you also have the 'Hot and Trending Section'. Also, if a video is found objectionable or problematic or with some defect, then you can also report it to the site in a single click so they can work on its quality.
Most sites do not offer this site so it shows how trustworthy and promptly responsive the site is.
8 Best Alternatives to NarutoSpot
Although NarutoSpot is by far the most popular site for anime, that doesn't discourage other competitors from trying their shot. Over the years many other similar anime sites have risen their heads in the market and it is always fun to explore the options.
Here we have made a list of the 8 best NarutoSpot Alternatives for you to check out. Who knows you accidentally might like one of them better than the best. Let's get started.
Crunchyroll also has a wide variety of anime videos for users to enjoy. Apart from just watching videos it also lets you enjoy anime music and watch dramas which are in abundance on the sites.
There are two versions of the site: One is free and the other is the paid version. The free version acts as a trial if you are not sure about paying for the subscription.
Once you try it out and are convinced about the content and quality, then you can move to the paid version which offers a lot more features for customers to enjoy.
Anime Planet
Next on the list is Anime-Planet. The first thing you might notice as soon as you open this site is that it looks quite similar to NarutoSpot. The interface seems inspired by it making it easy to browse and explore.
Anime-Planet has a gigantic database that covers more than 50,000 video content. If you like a video and would like to watch it later sometime, the site also offers the option to select your favorites so they display at the side of the page. Then you can easily find it the next time you open the site.
Cute name isn't it? This one also stands in competition with NarutoSpot. It is rising in popularity because of the free videos that it offers. The site has no paid version and you can watch to your heart's content absolutely free of cost.
Another USP of this site is that it offers an offline mode. You can download content and then watch them later even without an internet connection. The offline feature makes it a very desirable and preferred site in most Asian countries.
Kiss Anime
Kiss Anime also has a very friendly user interface that makes exploring the site very easy even for newcomers. The pleasant theme and overlay of the interface give a very fun and refreshing vibe for users.
Currently, there are around 40 million people from all around the world who use the site on a daily basis. The video player is top quality and plays content without any buffering so there is no disturbance in one's enjoyment.
There are also constant upgrades being done to do away with bugs or other minor errors that may come up.
Anime Lab
Anime Lab is similar to Chia-Anime in a way that it is also free of cost. There are two options to start using the site.
One can either create an account specific to Anime Lab or can register through one's Facebook or Twitter account, depending on whichever is convenient and comfortable.
Although it is free, there are no ads popping up in between so there is absolutely no interruption in the viewing. Also, the videos are in 1080p so you can enjoy everything in HD quality, which makes the experience really mind-blowing.
Dark Anime
Feature films have gotten people so used to subtitles at the bottom that users want it from Anime as well. And this is where Dark Anime as a site takes the cake. It offers English subtitles under every video making it easier for people to understand.
Since a lot of anime is originally in Japanese, Korean, or other Asian languages, people who don't understand find it hard to enjoy. With subtitles, they can enjoy themselves to the fullest.
The site constantly keeps itself and you updated with the latest video content so you never have to miss out on anything.
Anime Ultima
This is a very well-made website and that is something you will notice the moment you open it. It is designed in an organized fashion with a neat and easy-to-use interface.
It is free of cost so there are some ads that you will have to bear with but the site tries to keep them at a minimum so there isn't much interference in your viewing, making it a peaceful and enjoyable experience.
One feature that really stands out in comparison to other similar sites is the night mode. It dims the brightness and makes it a soothing experience for your eyes protecting them from the bright light in the darkness.
9 Anime
9 Anime has many quality options right from 360p to 1080p. So depending on your internet speed you can choose the setting. HD quality is also available for a better viewing experience.
Although most content is originally in Japanese, there are a lot of them dubbed in English. So even if you do not understand Japanese, you can still enjoy the video content on this site with ease.
We know you're really happy and satisfied with NarutoSpot, but hopefully, this list was good enough for you to want to explore as well. All of the above-mentioned sites are safe and reliable so do check them out and have a great time viewing.

rAge is almost upon us – the year has already flown by and it's almost time for the gamers and geeks of South Africa to descend upon the Dome for a weekend. I enjoy rAge, mostly because I get to see all the cool local cosplay and indie games, but also because the bigger boys put on one massive show. Now you can grab your tickets.
This year, bookings are being done through Computicket, so head on over to their portal and pick your event. There are separate links for a one day pass or a weekend pass, so don't get confused.
rAge will be taking place from 10-12 October and you really shouldn't miss out. You guys can get your hands on games and tech that haven't launched yet locally, or maybe pick up some cool toys and accessories. Bobbleheads SA, Board Games and Dark Carnival will be there with all your awesome novelty goods, plus the usually impressive showings from Megarom, Ster Entertainment, Nintendo, EA and Xbox South Africa should ensure that you get to see some really fun things. The venue is always packed, sweaty and hot, but it's a fun opportunity to see like-minded people and experience the best South Africa's gaming community has to offer.
In almost as important news, we will again be having a rAge community drink. Here is the Facebook link for the event – please feel free to invite any and all people you think would enjoy it. We are starting the drink early for those who are already too hot and sweaty, but you are welcome to join us later on once the chilli eating and debauchery has begun.

Golden Retrievers are some of the most docile, lovable dog breeds on the planet. They are happy bundles of love and energy that are very eager to please, making them one of the most popular breeds everywhere. However, they are not as easy to train as some people think. While very intelligent and loyal, Golden Retrievers still face some challenges that are always there if you want to train your dog properly.
They can be quite excitable, and are really hypersensitive to sensory stimulation. This makes them adorably enthusiastic about everything well into adulthood, but can also make them something of a handful. For this reason, we have written up this little article to help you out. Below you can find some tips and tricks on how to properly train your Golden Retriever.
Start them early
Golden retrievers are one of the more trainable breeds. However, if you really want to make the most out of their training, you need to utilize their puppy years and start them early. You can always provide them with puppy obedience school classes, where the professionals can show you exactly what to focus on. We are not saying that you should have other people do all the work. Rather, just a class or two here or there to help you figure out what's most important. Professional advice always goes a long way.
Now, you should know that there is no grace period when it comes to puppy training. The moment you adopt your Golden Retriever puppy, you should start training it.
Stick to a routine
In order to train any puppy, you need to create a routine and you need to stick to it. However, this is especially important for Golden Retrievers. In the past, goldens were predominantly used as work dogs – they thrive off of routines. The best way to do this is to always have set times when they are supposed to eat. Furthermore, try to take them on walks at the same time every day.
When you create structure from the very beginning, you create strict rules and you organize their day. They rather quickly get used to whatever routine you give them, which makes training that much easier. They will be less cranky, and more obedient, if you tire them out through regular walks.
Early socialization and exposure
Getting the right equipment is important. Ropes, chew toys, high-quality wire crates, leashes, a good collar, barriers, portable mats… You will need to invest some cash if you want to properly train your dog. However, probably the most crucial thing needed to train your puppy is luckily also quite free – the outside world.
Namely, your dog should be exposed to the outside world as soon as possible. Have it meet other dogs, get them into different environments. Introduce your puppy to other dogs at the local dog park as soon as it's able, and just try to have it spend as much time with you as possible. What makes this extra easy is that Golden Retrievers are very welcoming and social by their very nature. They love stimulation and they will adapt easily to new environments and to new dogs as well. If your dog run crazy and go away try best wireless dog fence to keep them within the boundary.
Positive reinforcement is key
One of the best ways to train your dog is to rely on positive reinforcement. This is especially true for Golden Retrievers because they are not one of those breeds that need a strong authoritative presence to get them under control. They are also not pack dogs that instinctively seek a leader. They are in fact very sensitive dogs that respond poorly to scolding, but flourish under a positive reward system. And while there may be moments where you do have to raise your voice, in general know that you won't have much trouble with these cute golden babies.
You want to praise them, cuddle them, and give them treats and toys when they are being good. As long as you make things fun for them, you will keep their attention for a long time. For example, if you are potty training them, you need to use a gentle and soothing tone of voice. This may sound easy, but do understand that Golden Retriever puppies are very excitable and enthusiastic. These puppies can really drain you after some time, and may become a serious handful at the wrong times (like when you're dead tired after work).
And there you have it folks, some advice on how to train your Golden Retrievers. Remember to provide them with continual positive reinforcement and to always stick to a routine. You will get the best results if you utilize their puppy years properly, socializing and training them early on, from the get-go. Stick to these tips, never stop learning, and you will definitely have an obedient and loyal companion for life.

Happy to Be Here: Even More Stories & Comic Pieces - Garrison Keillor
I think I bought this at a library book sale, but I can't be sure. It's an old book: published in 1983 but there are pieces from as early as 1970. We love listening to Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion" on the radio, and have a few of his books (most of which I haven't read yet). It's funny reading these because I can hear his voice and the rest of the PHC cast acting out pieces like "Jack Schmidt, Arts Administrator" (a Guy Noir-like character) or "After a Fall," where he points out the hazard that all tall people must live with. Although it's an old book, much of the humor still works, from bits about New Agey methods (in baseball or wedding planning) to a piece about the myth of "wicked stepmothers" to his well-known stories about plain folks in small towns.
There were a few clunkers, but most of the book was wonderful and funny, and I quite enjoyed it. I believe the book is now in reprints, and chances are you could find it used somewhere.

I remember when I was a young lad my dad telling me that if Ted Williams did not have to spend 5 years in the service during his baseball career, that he would have easily hit 800 home runs. If you look at the stats of Williams you could say by dad was exaggerating a bit. But, if you tool what my dad claimed and put Williams playing for the Yankees with that short right field porch. then maybe he would have hit 800 home runs if he did not miss those five years.
My dad was even wiser, but first a little background.
Alison Coviello
In 1969, Teddy Ballgame was named manager of the Washington Senators, now the Texas Rangers. Kind of made sense at the time? The greatest living hitter, one can say he had his doctorate in hitting, managing young ballplayers and imparting his wisdom upon them. Of course the Senators would soon become an American League juggernaut and march through the AL and win pennant after pennant.
Alison Coviello
Williams had one winning record, his first year as manager, and losing records the next 3 years after that. Williams never managed again.
Alison Coviello
Why? Because of what dear old dad had told me. Williams was so great, such a great hitter, that he had impossible expectations that everyone would be as great as him. Also, Williams had no respect for pitchers and did not know how to work and encourage them and constantly spoke down to them.
Alison Coviello
So what you may ask does Ted Williams have to do with education and in particular, PS 154 in the Bronx?
Alison Coviello
Let's imagine, if we can, that Ted Williams was an educator and that Ted Williams came to PS 154 to be its principal. So set your imaginations on the Splendid Splinter in the principal's office.
Ted Williams, who knew everything there was to know about education is a nice thing. But it does not translate into being a leader. Just because someone know a lot about a subject does not mean that person has the leadership qualities and mental capabilities to be a true leader.
A teacher that fails to measure up to the greatness that Ted Williams believes is only reserved for himself as a teacher and a principal is doomed to fail. Teachers set up to fail and incapable of succeeding as long as a someone like Williams is the principal of the school will be blamed by Williams as failed teachers not capable teachers being put in impossible surroundings and situations.
As Ted Williams the baseball player had total dedication, Ted Williams the manager, and now the principal at PS 154 has total dedication. But as Ted Williams the manager could not comprehend the total immersion and dedication of his players, Ted Williams the principal can't comprehend that teachers have outside lives which are equally if not more important.
When saddled with mediocre educators, or at least mediocre in the eyes of Williams -- the sort Williams the perfectionist could not abide by, not only did he lack the leadership qualities to have them rise, he is disdainful of such educators and will conjure up fiction to oust such teachers.
Just remember this, it does not take greatness to be a MLB manager or a NYC principal. Look at the likes of Bobby Cox, Sparky Anderson, Walter Alston, Earl Weaver, Tony LaRussa and many more accomplished managers. None of them could carry Ted Williams' jock.
But Ted Williams, could not carry the jock of so many managers of today and yesterday. What does that tell you?

Genetic Interactions Between BOB1 And Multiple 26S Proteasome Subunits Suggest A Role For Proteostasis In Regulating Arabidopsis Development
Document Type
Publication Date
Published In
Protein folding and degradation are both required for protein quality control, an essential cellular activity that underlies normal growth and development. We investigated how BOB1, an Arabidopsis thaliana small heat shock protein, maintains normal plant development. bob1 mutants exhibit organ polarity defects and have expanded domains of KNOX gene expression. Some of these phenotypes are ecotype specific suggesting that other genes function to modify them. Using a genetic approach we identified an interaction between BOB1 and FIL, a gene required for abaxial organ identity. We also performed an EMS enhancer screen using the bob1-3 allele to identify pathways that are sensitized by a loss of BOB1 function. This screen identified genetic, but not physical, interactions between BOB1 and the proteasome subunit RPT2a. Two other proteasome subunits, RPN1a and RPN8a, also interact genetically with BOB1. Both BOB1 and the BOB1-interacting proteasome subunits had previously been shown to interact genetically with the transcriptional enhancers AS1 and AS2, genes known to regulate both organ polarity and KNOX gene expression. Our results suggest a model in which BOB1 mediated protein folding and proteasome mediated protein degradation form a functional proteostasis module required for ensuring normal plant development.

When it came to who was the most badass or most cool or even just had a good personal story arc in Captain America: Civil War, most people would put their respective votes in for Black Panther, Spider-Man, Winter Soldier, Captain America or Falcon. But if you were to pick one character that met all those criteria, there would only be one answer: Black Widow.
And that's really nothing new for Scarlett Johansson's Russian super-spy, who has shown off incredible chemistry with practically everybody in the MCU and has been stealing scenes from her super-powered peers ever since she first cleared out that corridor in spectacular fashion in Iron Man 2. Since then the character has become about as popular as a Marvel hero can be, and yet she's never been more than a co-star in another hero's movie. Hell, for the longest time she never even got her own proper action figure. And the fact that she's arguably the most consistently bankable Hollywood star that Marvel has on their payroll makes that oversight even more glaring – especially in the light of all the talks of equality in Tinsel Town recently. But it would seem that times they are a-changing… finally!
In an interview with Deadline about Captain America: Civil War's box office performance, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked about the prospect of solo movies for characters like Black Widow and had some good news for fans.
DEADLINE: You've got a bunch of characters in this movie from Falcon and War Machine and Black Widow and Hawkeye, who have so far guest starred in movies with another characters title above the fold. Is there one destined to get a solo movie down the line?
FEIGE: We've announced the next nine movies, 10 counting Civil War, through the end of 2019. Where we go beyond that are ongoing discussions that we'll focus on in the next few years because we have a lot to do before then. Of the characters that you've just mentioned I would say certainly the one creatively and emotionally that we are most committing to doing is Black Widow.
We think she's an amazing character. We think Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of her is amazing. She's a lead Avenger and has amazing stories in her own right to tell that we think would be fun to turn into a stand-alone franchise.
With Marvel's slate currently being chock and block full – especially since Ant-Man and the Wasp and Spider-Man: Homecoming also got sandwiched into their Phase 3 plans – we probably shouldn't hold our breath on seeing Johansson headline a solo Black Widow movie until after Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 wraps in 2019. But it would be pretty cool to kick off Phase 4 though with Black Widow. Hell, maybe they can bring Hawkeye into the mix as well, as they clearly share a lot of history together. Or maybe even dig Nick Fury out of whatever dark corner of the MCU he was hiding in during Civil War and make this a proper superspy movie.
What do you guys think? Would you like to see a solo Black Widow movie?

Overwintering houseplants is important, both for those growing outdoors in summer and those that are year-round houseplants. Dieffenbachia, a popular tropical houseplant, needs specific conditions in the winter that differ from the growing season. Know how to winterize dieffenbachia to keep these gorgeous plants healthy and thriving.
About Dieffenbachia Plants
Dieffenbachia seguine is also known as dumb cane. It is a tropical plant native to the Caribbean and South America. In the U.S. it grows outdoors in zones 10 through 12. In most places, though, it serves as a popular houseplant.
Outside, in its natural conditions, dieffenbachia can grow quite large, up to 6 feet (2 m.) tall. In a container it can still grow several feet tall, up to 3 feet (1 m.). The leaves are the reason to choose dieffenbachia as a houseplant. They are large, evergreen, and colorful with different patterns and colors depending on the variety. As a houseplant, dieffenbachia is low maintenance.
Dieffenbachia Winter Care
During the growing season, dieffenbachia prefers indirect light, regular watering, high humidity, and occasional fertilizer. Dieffenbachia care in winter is different. Growth slows down and its needs change.
Water less frequently in the winter. Let the soil dry out on top before watering. Allow the plant to drain completely after watering. Too much water can lead to stem or root rot. Stop fertilizing. Dieffenbachia does not need fertilizer in winter. In fact, fertilizing during the winter can cause brown spots to form on the leaves.
Keep dieffenbachia warm. Keep your overwintering dieffenbachia in a spot that will remain over 60 degrees F. (16 C.). Don't let it get too hot either. The plant should be out of direct light and away from heaters or radiators.
Watch for pests and diseases. Dieffenbachia is generally a healthy plant with few issues, but there are some winter concerns. Winter brown spots are caused by overfertilizing but also excessive dryness. Water less but still water occasionally and give the plant a misting once in a while. Overly dry conditions can also lead to spider mites. Watch for them on the undersides of leaves. Stem rot is common with overwatering.
Dieffenbachia is a great houseplant, but it does require specialized winter care. Note: This plant is toxic and creates sap that is irritating, so take care around children and pets.

Rusko returns with exceptional 4-track EP 'Genghis Danger'
After a year-long bout with cancer, Rusko promised fans he would be coming back in full force in 2019. Now the prolific dubstep producer has shown he isn't holding back with the release of his second EP release of the year, Genghis Danger. Out now on Deadbeats, the four-track EP follows the springtime release of MEGARAD on the same formidable imprint. Genghis Danger exudes strength and force with four more incredible tracks that bring bass-inspired sounds and Drum n Bass infusions together.
Rusko stays true to himself and his decades-long sound stamp on the EP, while also simultaneously one-upping himself. "Go Up" is an astounding kick-off to the otherwise bass-heavy EP. It's a great juxtaposition to "One Family" which starts out sounding like a DnB track, but quickly goes back to Rusko's signature sound. "oh my god" and "Bumbaclat" round out the EP with their incredible sound design.
On top of the Genghis Danger EP release, Rusko is currently on tour alongside Snails for the first phase of his World of Slime tour. The tour just kicked off with stops in Dallas, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, with more TBA dates to come.

You do all look alike. I know HH has to pick up the boys and look them straight in the face... well, sometimes she can tell without looking if she picks them up at the same time. Bugsy is heavier.
Have a great day.
pawhugs, Max
Max my Mom nearly died when she went to Florida and all of a sudden all of these "Cody's" appeared! MOL! I know YOU sure have to be confused!
Oscar was the one who came around the most and he looks the most like me. Mom said it made her miss me less :)
Love, Cody
You had me fooled good buddy.ReplyDelete
Cody, that's treachery of the worst kind. How could she miss you less? Looking at those similar faces should make her miss you more. tsk tsk tsk....your mommy needs retraining for sure. purrr....meow!ReplyDelete
Woof! Woof! Got confused there ... you guys look a like. Happy Monday! Lots of Golden Woofs, SugarReplyDelete
Oh wow! Three times the gorgeousness! Yay!! Take care
I've a migraine now, Cody! : )

MOL, Cody - you can fool humans, but you can't fool a kitty! I knew neither was you!ReplyDelete
Mom's wondering if she had too many cocktails..she is seeing triple..not a good sign!
I tagged you, come over and play if you want!
Mommy is laughing...she says she's too young to remember that show...bwahahaha!!!!ReplyDelete
WOW! You guys sure look alike! Patty Duke was before my time, but I used to watch reruns on Nick at Nite! Great stuff! :)ReplyDelete
OMG, how did you find that video?? Loved that show (oh god, I'm old). The resemblance is simply uncanny - and mind boggling!ReplyDelete
They DO look alike. But there can only be ONE Cody! Cod knows I couldn't live with more than one KATIE.
...so stupid question. That was Patty Duke and only Patty Duke, right? She didn't really have a twin did she?
; )
Yes, you do all look very alike, but Cody, you are much more handsome.ReplyDelete
@Hannah and Lucy...awwww that was sooooooo sweet! Love you!
@Eric and Flynn I am so flattered! Thank you!
@Katie and Glogirly lol! Nope it was just Patty Duke, the irony is she was diagnosed as being bipolar way AFTER she played that part.
@Kim lol! I went on You Tube and it was there when I searched. It cracked me up! lol!
@Tucker the Crestie, sadly she wasn't before my time lol
@Katnip Lounge, actually I think you ARE too young to remember! Seriously!
@Shawn Ok I will stop by!
@Sparkle that is because you are just too darned observant! :)
@meowmeowmans awww thank you!
@Brian love it and the top 2 kitties are southern kitties!
Just a quick note to say Nom Nom is holding her own, Rosie says they are lookers but she'd know her Cody boy anywhere and God Bless you for the references for help Auntie Caren!!ReplyDelete
Much as it grieves me to admit, when I see photos of most black cats, I say, "Is that me? 'Cause I don't remember visiting New Mexico or Michigan or any of those places where my doppelgangers hang out!"
Obviously, it's our scintillating furrsunalities that distinguish us from other kittehs, right, Cody?
Spitty put a claw right on it! King Spittola!ReplyDelete
Mommy said she will have that music in her head at least 36 hours.ReplyDelete
Oh..sorry, this is Katie's and Admiral's mom. I forgot to change accounts. :-(ReplyDelete

The Northern Territory has some of the most pristine rivers in the world. But amid the big push to develop northern Australia, industries are lining up to take water from these wild waterways.
The agriculture industry – and in particular, large-scale cotton growers – are seeking up to 5.2 billion litres of water a year from the Daly River near Katherine. But our research published today suggests water allocations based on recent gauge data might be too generous.
We found since the 1960s, flows in the Daly have been higher than at any point in the past 600 years. If flows return to lower levels in future, extracting large volumes of water may cause big problems for the river.
Over-allocating water resources can degrade rivers and harm aquatic life that needs wet season flows to thrive. Before granting water rights to big business, authorities must better understand the ancient history of Australia's river flows.
Going back in time
Every year when the monsoon arrives in Northern Australia, rivers spread over the floodplains and sustain a kaleidoscopic variety of plant and animal life.
To sustainably develop the north while keeping river ecosystems healthy, we must get a full picture of high and low flows over time. But in many rivers, including the Daly, we don't have enough data to do this.
Streamflow gauges have only been in place for the last 60 years in the Northern Territory. However the climate – and subsequent river flows – can vary across decades and generations.
Luckily, tree rings can tell us how the climate behaved for hundreds of years before streamflow gauges were installed.
The rings indicate how old a tree is and what the weather was like during each year of its life. For example, a ring wider than others indicates greater-than-average growth, and might reflect a year of high rainfall or warm temperatures.
Read more: Floodplains aren't separate to a river — they're an extension of it. It's time to change how we connect with them
Nature's weather stations
Tree rings are examined by drilling a narrow hole in a tree to extract a core – a process that does not harm the tree. All up, we used cores from 63 different sites in our study.
We obtained existing cores from Northern Territory trees, then sought to interpret how the tree rings related to past climate changes. Usually, the correlation between tree rings and streamflow can be used to build a model of past streamflow. But the gauge data for the Daly is too short to develop a reliable model.
So we used a new method using much older rainfall data. It meant we could develop a much better and longer reconstruction of the river's flow.
But we faced another challenge. The oldest Northern Territory tree core we had to work with was 250 years old, but we wanted to look further back.
So we also used cores from older trees in Southeast Asia. These trees also experience monsoon rainfalls and so record similar climate variations.
Rivers of change
Our reconstruction showed over that, with the exception of dry years in 2019 and 2020, flows over the last 57 years were higher than at any point in the past 600 years.
This is because more rainfall is falling during the monsoon season than ever before. Records from ship logs suggest the increase is part of a much longer trend which began in the 1800s.
Theories abound about why monsoon rainfall has increased, and include changes in sea surface temperatures and changes to the timing of the monsoon onset. More research is needed into this phenomenon.
However, the increase suggests flows in the Daly River may return to low levels in future. So allocating water to industry based only on data from the past few decades may mean too much water will be extracted and the river's health will suffer.
Even during these unusually wet decades, we found the annual monsoon - and therefore streamflow – varies a lot from year to year.
In La Niña years, the Daly's flow is higher than in other years – but during El Niño there is no difference. So, while low flows lead to higher water demand and risk to rivers, we don't really understand why they occur.
Read more: The hydropower industry is talking the talk. But fine words won't save our last wild rivers
An uncertain future
Global climate models differ on whether northern Australia will experience higher or lower rainfall in future. So we don't know if the Daly and other Northern Territory rivers will remain high in decades to come.
Climate models do suggest monsoon rain will become more variable. This means managing river resources in the territory will be even more complex in coming years and needs careful planning.
The proposed water allocation from the Daly River comes on the back of record dry years and much lower wet season flows than normal. And it follows other industry proposals to extract huge amounts of water from territory rivers.
Monsoon rivers are the lifeblood of the Top End. They're unique, precious and need to be protected. We can't hold back development, but we can make good decisions to ensure ecosystems are managed sustainably.
Let's listen to the message of the trees – and make sure these rivers are still healthy in another 600 years.

Hockey India congratulates Savita on completing 150 international capsOctober 31, 2017
Reference: http://www.mid-day.com/articles/hockey-india-congratulates-savita-on-completing-150-international-caps/18695185
Hockey India on Monday congratulated Indian women's cricket team goalkeeper Savita for achieving the milestone of playing 150 international matches for the country today. She accomplished this distinction in India's second Pool A match against China at the ongoing Women's Asia Cup 2017 in Kakamigahara, Japan. After her debut at the Spar Cup Four Nations Tournament in Durban, South Africa in 2009, Savita has come up the ranks and has cemented her place in the team with top-quality performance over the years. It was her age-defying performance and good skill work as goalkeeper and sharp presence of mind during her junior days that caught the attention of the selectors and she was given a chance to play for the senior squad.
She was adjudged the 'Goalkeeper of the Tournament' at the Hockey World League Round 2 in Canada earlier this year and was also part of the team that won the Women's Asian Champions Trophy last year. Savita had made two crucial saves in the penalty shoot-out game to hand India the bronze medal in the eighth edition of the Women's Asia Cup which was held in Malaysia in 2013. The 27-year-old from Haryana was the member of the Indian team that participated at the Rio Olympics 2016.
Md. Mushtaque Ahmad, Secretary General, Hockey India, congratulated Savita on her 150th international appearance. He said, 'Savita has been a role model and an integral part of the women's team that has improved over the years and even qualified for the Olympics after a gap of 36 years. Her performances are inspiring and I would like to congratulate her on completing 150 matches for India. I wish her the very best for the future and keep up the good work.'

Your application has been sent successfully. Thanks for taking action as part of GenEndIt, we'll be in touch soon.
Ending HIV as a public health threat demands a united effort – by those already engaged in the fight, those who have yet to join us, and the youth in whose hands the future lies. By creating an opportunity for us to come together, bound by the same goal, we will create solutions. Together we are unstoppable. Together, we are #GenEndIt.
Why #GenEndIt?
HIV continues to be one of the greatest challenges of our time.
Since the discovery of HIV in 1981, it is estimated over 30 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Every day, around 2,000 people will die of AIDS-related illnesses and another 5,000 will contract HIV; a staggering 1 in 3 will be between the ages of 15-24.
Yet we have the tools and the knowledge to end the epidemic. So what's stopping us?
Young people are one of the populations most vulnerable to HIV and will be directly affected by the decisions we make today. The future of the HIV epidemic is in the hands of these young people and by combining their energy with the commitment of the public, and the work of those focused on the epidemic, we can tackle it head on and shift the course of history.
This is our chance, our window of opportunity. Let's create a movement of awareness, discussion, storytelling, empathy, accountability, and mobilization owned by everyone. By joining forces and working together across platforms, across communities, and across industries, we can inspire and be the new generation of activists that will commit to ending HIV as a public health threat.
#GenEndit is the culmination of this belief: united, we can grow attention, conversation, action and momentum. Together, we are the Generation-to-End-It. #GenEndIt.
What is #GenEndIt?
#GenEndIt is a unifying message to inspire collective attention and ownership to end AIDS.
#GenEndit is a hashtag that virtually connects our common passion.
#GenEndIt is a mantra that empowers and inspires.
#GenEndIt is a global call to action.
#GenEndIt is a partnership of individuals, organizations, initiatives and movements working together to find solutions.
How does #GenEndIt work?
- We create a #GenEndIt global community.
- We show our common commitment to ending AIDS through collaboration, conversation, awareness, youth engagement, public support and by raising up the work of each other.
- We campaign together on AIDS issues young people care about, issues like HIV testing and prevention education, more funding to fight AIDS, an end to all forms of discrimination.
Who is #GenEndIt?
#GenEndIt is growing. We are a movement of individuals, groups, and organizations around the world that understand by working together, we are stronger. Anyone can join the #GenEndit Movement – individuals, organizations, initiatives and campaigns. #GenEndIt is supported by a founding coalition of AIDS NGOs and foundations, a guiding body that help steer the movement.

BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed the third Ministers' Meeting of the Forum of China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (China-CELAC Forum) via video link on Friday, calling for adding momentum to cooperation between China and Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries.
Xi said over the last seven years since the establishment of the China-CELAC Forum, the two sides have acted on the forum's founding purpose of strengthening unity and cooperation and advancing South-South cooperation, turned it into a major platform for pursuing mutual benefit, and taken China-LAC relations into a new era featuring equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness, and benefits for the people.
Xi stressed that the world today has entered a new period of volatility and transformation, saying that both China and LAC countries faced the new task of the times, which was to promote post-COVID recovery and deliver happiness and well-being to the people.
LAC countries are welcome to take an active part in the Global Development Initiative and work together with China to tide over this difficult time, create more opportunities, and build a global community of development with a shared future, Xi said.
"History teaches us that peaceful development, equity and justice, and win-win cooperation represent the right way forward. China and LAC countries are all developing countries. We are comprehensive cooperative partners of equality, mutual benefit and common development, and our shared aspiration for independence, development and rejuvenation has brought us closer together," Xi said.
He called on the two sides to jointly draw up a blueprint for China-LAC relations, add momentum to China-LAC cooperation, and make new contributions to the well-being of their peoples and to the cause of human progress.

Porn star Afrocandy has said that she did not work so hard at her adult film career only for her daughters to be like her.
Speaking with The Punch, Afrocandy disclosed that even though her children know about her career, they all have their lives to live and have never thought of trailing her path.
Sometimes, my children are behind the camera, helping me with my recordings. However, my daughters have their own lives and careers. They are not trying to be like me; never! They love and support me 100 per cent and help me in ways such as taking pictures and videos for social media. I made my sacrifices to raise them well, so they can have better futures than me. I did not sacrifice for them to be like me."
Speaking on some of the challenges she faced as a single mother, Afrocandy said,
"It has been years since I faced challenges as a single mother because my daughters are grown now. My first daughter has graduated from the university and is working while her younger sister is still in the university. I love my single life and space at this time of my life. I have suffered so much and I don't need stress from any man."
She further revealed that she receives a lot of hate comments on social media, but she is not moved as she has developed a thick skin.

We all marvel at the fall colors in our region. That's because we've been blessed with the right climatic conditions. However, there are a lot of explanations for this phenomenon, many of them wrong.
Back in 2012, the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) posted a release on its treesaregood.org website explaining the science of autumn beauty. It's all about the temperature swings and diminishing hours of daylight. The release says, "Leaf pigments play a crucial role in the colors we see. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins present in a leaf help determine what color the leaf will display.
"The pigment that gives leaves their green color is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is used in photosynthesis, which is the process that uses sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (sugars) that fuel tree growth. During the spring and summer, with more hours of sunlight and warmer temperatures, this photosynthetic process is most active, thus leaves are green.
"When daylight hours become less and temperatures are cooler, photosynthesis slows down, and there is less chlorophyll. This decline reveals a yellow or orange pigment, carotenoid. Carotenoids, the same pigment found in carrots and corn, are usually masked by the chlorophyll.
Unlike chlorophyll and carotenoids, which are present in leaf cells throughout the growing season, anthocyanins are produced in autumn. Anthocyanins give color to familiar fruits, such as cranberries, red apples, cherries, and plums. These complex, water soluble compounds in leaf cells react with excess stored plant sugars and exposure to sunlight, creating vivid pink, red and purple leaves. A mixture of red anthocyanin pigment and yellow carotene often results in the bright orange color seen in some leaves.
"Weather conditions that occur before and during the decline of chlorophyll production can affect the color that leaves may display. Carotenoids are always present, so the yellow and gold colors are the least affected by weather.
"Colors most affected by weather are the red tones created by anthocyanin. On warm sunny days lots of sugar is produced in the leaves. Trees exposed to brighter sunlight generate the reaction between the anthocyanins and the excess sugar creating the bright red hue. Cooler temperatures cause the veins in the leaves to gradually close preventing the sugars from moving out which preserves the red tones. Thus, a succession of warm sunny days and cool crisp nights can paint the most spectacular display of color.
"The level of moisture in the soil can also affect autumn color. A severe summer drought can delay the onset of color change by weeks. Ideal conditions for producing the most brilliant colors are a warm wet spring, favorable summer weather, and sunny fall days with the cooler temperatures at night."Now that you know the science between the color change, enjoy your fall leaf peeping.

The concept of groups, teams and teamwork is a very important factor for good performance of the whole company. I read the case about the group of professionals who had to control and serve the new joint venture between companies from Japan, United States, and South America. This new company had to make, sell, and service pet caskets for the burial of beloved pets, mostly dogs and cats. During the first month of work, each company had assigned personnel to the task force.
The members from every company were chosen to participate in the joint venture. As chair of the task force, Jose initiated a meeting of all the members of the new company. He gave historical information, and then he reviewed the market for the innovations of their prospective product. The task force was to develop the initial design parameters for the new product to meet increasing demand around the world. Next part of the meeting was opened to comments and suggestions.
Mariana Preus, representative from Argentina, the head of product design, said that the current designs that they had in production in Argentina plant were just fine, and he didn't see any reasons to innovate the design of their product. All other members of the meeting agreed not to make any changes in the design of the product. Jose reminded to all of the participants of the meeting that their task force's purpose is to redesign the product and its manufacturing systems. Finally, Jose had to agree with members of the meeting and to write a memo to the council of presidents with the recommendation to use existing designs and to begin immediately to design the plant and the manufacturing system.
The meeting adjourned,d and Jose returned to his computer and started to write the memo that, he knew, would anger the presidents. He wondered what had he done wrong and what he could have done to prevent such result of the meeting.
I think that in this case study we see an example of the formal group that is formed by a manager to help the organization to accomplish its goals. The group development process wasn't finished and ended on the second stage–storming. Analyzing the group member roles, in our situation Jose is the initiator of the meeting, information giver, opinion seeker, and orienter. Mariana Preus has a role of initiator and information giver, because he insisted on the not redesigning of the product. The other members seem to serve just as a passive audience–followers, because they all agreed to the Mariana's suggestion, and didn't give any other opinions. Also, there was no group cohesiveness; a "we feeling" binding group members together to accomplish their goal.
The diverse nature of the group affected the committee's action by not understanding and participating of all members in the meeting. If I was in Jose's position, I would try to keep the group headed toward the stated goal better, and not to agree with the suggestion of one member, but to count the opinions of every member of the group. Also, it wasn't right to adjourn the meeting before getting the result that would approach to the goal of the whole meeting.

How does a legacy competitor such as Microsoft spur growth and embark on a new wave of change? Ismail Amla, EVP, Professional Services at NCR, can tell you.
Fortune excerpted a passage of a book that Ismail co-wrote, entitled "From Incremental to Exponential," in an article that showed how Microsoft changed its culture, rethought its purpose – and drove a new wave of growth.
The article, "How Microsoft made the stunning transformation from Evil Empire to Cool Kid," highlights some of the insights of the book – including how changing Microsoft's business started with changing its culture.
"The reality is that established companies have a number of assets – such as brand, data and expertise – that can supercharge their growth and help them keep up with and even surpass new entrants," said Amla. "The key is being willing to change."

Pediatric Reference Ranges for Ultradistal Radius Bone Density: Results from the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study.
Year: 2020
Kindler JM, Kalkwarf HJ, Lappe JM, Gilsanz V, Oberfield S, Shepherd JA, Kelly A, Winer KK, Zemel BS
Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, The Children"s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
AbstractCONTEXT: The ultradistal (UD) radius is rich in trabecular bone and is easily measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). UD radius areal bone mineral density (aBMD) may help identify trabecular bone deficits, but reference data are needed for research and clinical interpretation of this measure. OBJECTIVE: We developed age-, sex-, and population ancestry-specific reference ranges for UD radius aBMD assessed by DXA and calculated Z-scores. We examined tracking of UD radius aBMD Z-scores over 6 years and determined associations between UD radius aBMD Z-scores and other bone measures by DXA and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). DESIGN: Multicenter longitudinal study. PARTICIPANTS: 2014 (922 males, 22% African American) children ages 5-19 years at enrollment who participated in the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: UD radius aBMD. RESULTS: UD radius aBMD increased non-linearly with age (p<0.001) and tended to be greater in males vs. females (p=0.054). Age-, sex-, and ancestry-specific UD radius aBMD reference curves were constructed. UD radius aBMD Z-scores positively associated with Z-scores at other skeletal sites (r=0.54-0.64, all p<0.001) and pQCT measures of distal radius total volumetric BMD (r=0.68, p<0.001) and trabecular volumetric BMD (r=0.70, p<0.001), and was weakly associated with height Z-score (r=0.09, p=0.015). UD radius aBMD Z-scores tracked strongly over 6 years, regardless of pubertal stage (r=0.66-0.69; all p<0.05). CONCLUSION: UD radius aBMD Z-scores strongly associated with distal radius trabecular bone density, with marginal confounding by stature. These reference data may provide a valuable resource for bone health assessment in children.

By Frank Quinn
The catechumenal journey is concluded with the celebration of the sacraments of initiation -- baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. The journey of faith is brought to sacramental fullness; marginal existence within the Christian body is exchanged for full membership. But even this climactic celebration is not the end. Rather, in order that the neophytes (that is, the newly baptized) "may become more perfectly like your Son," the ritual process of Christian initiation is the beginning of a journey that concludes only with the vision of God. In other words, one is initiated into a way of life, a living out of the implications of baptism. Such a journey is not concluded until each Christian meets the Lord: "When the Lord comes, may you go out to meet him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom" (RCIA 226; R 102).
Baptism is complete neither with the conclusion of the catechumenal journey nor with the celebration of God's mighty acts in the initiation sacraments. Admittedly, the liturgical celebration is complete once the candidate has been baptized and confirmed and has participated in the Eucharist. But subsequent life is lived in the power of baptism. Baptism's meaning can be unfolded only over the course of life, especially the profound Pauline insight that in baptism we die with Christ and are given a pledge of resurrection. A complementary thesis is that the ordinary spirituality of the Christian is a baptismal spirituality. Baptism is the foundation of Christian life and ministry. James White, in commenting on Luther's statement that "there is no greater comfort on earth than baptism," suggests that for Luther, as well as others, it is necessary to perceive "Christian life as a baptismal spirituality, i.e., as a lifelong living out of one's baptism."
In the Early Church
The ritual activities referred to by the term sacraments of initiation are the third stage of Christian initiation (the first two stages being, respectively, entrance into the order of catechumens and election or enrollment of names). They consist of the celebration of baptism, confirmation, and first Eucharist at the Easter vigil. Thus we have the name paschal sacraments. This stage marks the end of the candidates' marginal existence within the church. With these concluding rites the neophyte is fully incorporated into the body of Christ through water and Spirit as well as through the offering and receiving of the body and blood of Christ.
In the beginning baptism, Eucharist, and the Easter vigil developed separately. Baptism, either from its origin or very soon thereafter, included accompanying rites. One of these would later be treated as the separate sacrament of confirmation. The early postpaschal community recognized that baptism -- on the model of John's baptism but with its meaning centered on Christ -- was the means whereby one entered the Christian community. The Eucharist, founded on the meals of the disciples with Jesus, particularly the Last Supper and the postpaschal meals, early on was celebrated on Sunday. This day was the normal time for commemorating the resurrection of the Lord, a commemoration that did not exclude the passion and death of Jesus. Since the Eucharist is the community celebration par excellence centering on the paschal mystery of Christ, it is not surprising that such a rite would be the normal means for making Sunday the "Lord's day of the Lord." The Easter vigil, at least insofar as it would influence future developments, does not seem to have come into existence until after the middle of the 2nd century. Although Jewish Christians would most likely have continued to celebrate Jewish Passover once a year, such a practice would not have been obligatory for gentile Christians. Furthermore, each Sunday was a commemoration of Christian "passover," that is, the paschal mystery of Jesus Christ.
Despite their separate development, baptism came to be celebrated at the Easter vigil during the second half of the 2nd century. The Eucharist of the vigil concluded the rites of baptism. This development should come as no surprise. Baptism, Eucharist, and Easter vigil celebrate the very same reality: the passover of Jesus from death to life, the model and means for the passover of the community (Eucharist) and of the individual who is welcomed into the community (the rites of baptism). There was not, as of yet, any commemoration of Holy Thursday or Good Friday, the vigil being a unitive festival of the paschal mystery. Also, there was no Lent. These would come later. Christians fasted for several days before the Saturday vigil. They kept watch through the night, listening to the word of God and celebrating the entrance of new members into their midst. The vigil was concluded at dawn with the celebration of the Easter Eucharist -- the Easter Eucharist, since the vigil Eucharist and the Easter Sunday Eucharist were one and the same. The Easter vigil inaugurated the Easter season (or, as it was also termed in the early church, the period of Pentecost), a fifty-day period during which the neophytes learned to live as ordinary Christians, being instructed in the mysteries that they had participated in at the Easter vigil and being guided in the manner in which they should continue to live out their baptism.

« THE WRATH OF KHAN - GENGHIS KHAN | Main | THREE TIMES GETS US DISTRIBUTION »
January 23, 2006
Who the heck is Daya Nayak and why is he in this blog? Calm down, little camper, all will be revealed.
Daya Nayak is one of India's "encounter specialists" an elite group of police officers who seem to have an awful lot of "encounters." An encounter is when a cop runs into a criminal and the criminal winds up dead and there aren't any witnesses willing to testify as to what happened. Apparently there are five of these guys in Bomby (Mumbai) and they are a sort of unofficial team of cops who each work a separate section of the city and they are credited with "breaking the back" of organized crime in Mumbai.
Nayak himself was responsible for killing 83 criminals in three years in "encounters", but he says that people shouldn't hype this up too much since he also made 300 non-fatal arrests in that time.
There have been accusations that Nayak is in the pay of local mafia bosses and he's dismissed these allegations out of hand...until some enterprising anti-corruption investigators started asking why a guy who makes about 9,000 rupees a month has assets worth 100 crore (a crore is 10 million rupees). When they showed up at his house recently to ask some questions they were informed that Nayak was on a three day holiday. They smiled and then informed him that he had until tomorrow to surrender himself and if that didn't happen they would recommend he be suspended.
Nayak has been the subject of a couple of movies, but the best of the bunch is AB TAK CHHAPPAN, produced by Ram Gopal Varma and starring the absolutely magnetic Nana Patekar who says that even though the movie isn't about Nayak he did meet with Nayak 200 times before shooting began. This is an essential action flick, but the action isn't about intricately choreographed shoot-outs. Instead it's like a punch in the nose: short, sharp and shocking. You can rent it on Netflix or pick up an English subtitled DVD which are all over the place.
Fun Fact: Daya Nayak is a vegetarian. See, vegetarian's can be tough guys, too!

Daya Nayk is great.
Posted by: rajeev r | Feb 2, 2006 2:17:44 AM
The encounter specialist team is no more. Long regarded as the best of the police force, this team fell under the jealous eyes of senior police officers soon after the underworld had been cut down by them. Transfers, false cases and suspensions have led to the end of this once revered band of cops.
Daya Nayak is one of these men who have come under fire for being far more famous than any police officer in Mumbai to date. 100crore is all rubbish...first he was worth 100 crores, then they said he's 4 crores and now they've found paper evidence of 40lacs. Paltry sum compared to 100 crores, really. And there is no hard evidence yet.
I believe Daya Nayak is a victim, not a villain. For more, check out my blog The Truth about Daya Nayak at http://dayanayak.blogspot.com

Does the arrest of Daya prove that all the other police are clean, can the courts say that all the IPS officers are very honest and only Daya was corrupt?. All the encounter cops to every one in this present system could be highly corrupt. The government have developed this system like this, that no one dare question the politicos in power. All the people in power, let it be the cops, politicians & judiciary is comfortable in this rut. Daya is made a scapegoat due to his popularity, its pure zelousy. This very cops, politicians & judiciary , including the common man knows that a effective cop, to develop informers will have friendly conversations with gangsters via mobile or landline etc, thats how information is ferreted out. No informer advertises in newspapers any tipoff. This informers have to be paid large sums to get important tip offs, this tip off money have to be generated somehow, please remember Daya's job was to put a stop to the killing feilds that was Mumbai in the ninties. His name was teror to all, ask any prominent bussinessman, if they recieved a extortion call, and if that bussinessman replied that Daya was a friend, then the calls would stop. The politicians want to revive the underworld, their fund supply have all dried up. Is it not clear that when it has come in the papers that two main politicians who have defected from the saffron party is having crores worth of property, yet this over zelous courts, out to clean this city, does not notice such newspaper reports. Why is the courts not passing any judjment on how this politicians have ammased crores worth assets in a short span of 10-15 years? Does this government want to convey a message to public that ammasing a few lakhs is not allowed, but a few hundred crores is ok. All this reeks of a greater conspiracy. Science has medicine for everything but zelousy. And this is zelousy plus conspiracy put together. Why can't he be put in house arrest, why is it necessary he has to be put in a prison full of third rate gangsters. Why is he being interrogated in camera, it should be transperent. And most important screen all the cops in the force and give them a clean chit then target him, they won't do that. The courts should also screen all the politicians, even that they wont do. Such is the state of this nation now. Major scams have surfaced but no results, what happened to Bofors, coal, fodder, helicopter, purchases, major road tender. petrol pump etc etc etc scams, why no conviction, this cases are only dragging, but Daya have to be arrested for the better of all living beings on this planet. Underworld is rejoicing, extortion will be active again, the killings will start again. This same level of effort and over zelousness is not shown to track the gangsters abroad, from Malaysia, Hong Kong,South Africa,Dubai,Pakistan,UK,US etc. We have a strong intelligense like IB & RAW etc, why not use them to track this organised gangsters, or are they inefficient or is it that our politicians don't want it, lest their involments come out? Ketan Tirodkar is a criminal, who have support of zelous vested interests in the police force. So is it ok for any criminal to suddenly change over a new leaf and target a cop ?? "When government fears public, that is liberty. When public fear government, that is tyranny."

I recently heard an Advent message entitled, "#repent #youscumbags." She was kidding. Sort of. This was the message of John the Baptist, the one who came to prepare the way. I don't know if John the Baptist would have used the word scumbag. He might have though. He was a gritty fellow.
The point she was making in her message was that Advent is about preparation. It's about waiting. It's about the hope of the Messiah coming to make things new. I haven't heard anyone use John the Baptist in an Advent message for quite some time. It fits though.
@EffectiveTeams has this quote in their Twitter feed: You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there. Repentance is the equivalent of getting out of the water. Holding on to our past sins – shameful, painful, and full of regret – will eventually drown us. John the Baptist was preparing the way for Jesus. If Advent is preparation, perhaps John's message of repentance is one that we need to embrace more fully.
As we sing Joy to the World, especially the line that sings, "Let every heart prepare Him room…", I think repentance is a must in the preparation. It's hard to make room for Jesus when we are carrying around our regrets. Repentance is the way to clean house, to carve out space for the Christ Child. May we not miss the opportunity in this Advent season to come to God and trust that He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Til next time,

The Cape Bushbuck (Tragelaphus sylvaticus), found in rainforests and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa, is also called the imbabala.
The Cape Bushbuck varies in colour and striping. It can be brown, light-brown, red-brown, olive, and nearly black, and it can have up to seven white horizontal stripes or broken stripes that look like spots in a row or no stripes. It has a white nose. Males have spiral or twisted horns.
The Bushbuck can grow to about 90 centimetres (35 inches) at the shoulder.
It is a browser – it eats plants. It is active during the day. They are usually solitary, but can be seen in pairs.

A cool weather pattern will continue in the Northland through midweek with daytime highs ranging from the mid 30s to around 40, while overnight lows fall into the 20s, with a few teens even possible in the typical spots. So yes it definitely will be on the chilly side the next few days, but hardly anything arctic when near surface temps are still well above zero, heck even remaining above the freezing mark during the day.
It continues to look like will see temperatures moderate some late this week into the week of November 7, how warm to be determined, but at the very least we're likely looking at highs getting well into the 40s to around 50 in the Northland by next weekend and possibly beyond. Keep in mind that our normal highs fall from the low to mid 40s on November 5, to the upper 30s to lower 40s by November 9, so highs near 50 (assuming it gets that warm) would be roughly +10 degrees above normal in early November, but remember the warm stretch we had last November? If not here ya go!

An upper level low over western Ontario today will be moving off to the east the next few days. Lots of cold air underneath this upper low, with temperatures ~18,000 feet (500mb) down to -32 to -36C across the upper Midwest into central Canada today. All of this cold air aloft is part of the reason behind why we saw the showers in the Northland today.
A real mix bag of weather conditions in the Northland today featuring some sun, clouds, and scattered showers of snow, rain and even some graupel (soft hail/snow pellets). Some of the snow showers were on the heavy side for brief periods of time this afternoon, but the main impact was for reduced visibilities as those snow showers moved through parts of the area today.
Goes-16 visible satellite loop from Sunday, October 31, 2021.
Although we will see some scattered light precipitation in the Northland over the next few days we're not looking at any major snow or rain events this week, and as a result we're looking at below normal precipitation totals through November 6.
Scattered snow or mixed rain/snow showers will linger across the Northland through Tuesday.
18z NAM 3km model simulated radar forecast thru 7 PM Tuesday.
There could be some snow accumulations in far northern Minnesota and also along the South Shore of Lake Superior in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan over the next few days.
It's looking likely that 2021 will finish below normal in the precipitation department at Duluth, Minnesota, with our precipitation deficit sitting at -6.53″ below normal (thru October 30).
Going even further back, the precipitation deficit at Duluth, Minnesota for the period January 1, 2020 thru October 30, 2021 is at -16.45″ below normal.
Strong model agreement for a period of above normal temps in the Northland between November 7-12, 2021.
