Someone asked (hello, Alexis!) whether I would be starting a new habit, given that it was a new month, and whether I would be bailing on the old one, given that January is (hooray! hooray!*) behind us.
My answer, for this and probably every other month for the foreseeable future, is that I will abso-toot-ly be starting a new habit of some kind every month from here on in. I'm a convert to the Incremental School of Change; between my extraordinary and transformative (and musical!) experience with guitar and the Marketing Calendar experiment thingy (available as part of my own, ultra-fabulous, Virgo 1.0, you-heard-it-here-first site, The Virgo Guide to Marketing AND the regular Marketing Mix blog feed AND a podcast!), there is no question in my mind that for a big, honkin' hunk of the population, slow and steady, and additive, and cumulative, is the way to go.
I oughta know: I've been dealing with a slow but steady accumulation of unsightly body fat around my midsection for probably four years now, ever since The BF and I met and decided we'd be each other's perfect partner to grow fat and happy with.
Only I'm not so happy about the fat.
Up until about two years ago, I have been thin my whole life. As in, one of those annoying people who never (really) had to worry about gaining weight. Of course, after the Crohn's diagnosis, I have a better understanding of why. My intestines were basically a crazy, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride of a log flume for nutrients: zippity doo dah, with emphasis on the zippity. And, um, doo.
Also, let us not forget that up until recently, I didn't have middle age to contend with. Or I did, but it hadn't manifested itself around my midsection yet. I've always been a bit behind the curve developmentally, so it's not too surprising. Late bloomer to everything, including the decreptitude that comes with age.
Then there was quitting acting, which did nothing to help matters. I went from being a reasonably active human being who was out and about a significant portion of the day to someone who lives and (slowly, but surely) dies by her computer. There are days where I walk less than an 1/8th of a mile. Or there used to be; Arno J. gets me out a lot now, and I've stopped wearing the pedometer.
So I was casting about for cool stuff that would keep me active. It couldn't be gym-related, because I hate the gym with the blinding white hot heat of a thousand sweaty ass-cracks in spin or whatever other stupid class they're pushing at the moment. Plus I cannot get over the lunacy of DRIVING somewhere to GET EXERCISE. Um. Yeah.
After much poking and nosing about, I've come up with three things I'm going to try (in addition to the mostly-daily Arnie walks, which are no longer enough to keep the fat off my ass):
- Jumping Rope. My friend, Joan, has been doing this for 1/2 hour daily for years and looks fabulous. She also has been doing this for 1/2 hour daily for years. In other words, it will likely take me a few months to work up to even 10 minutes of jumping daily.
- Mini-trampoline. Or, as trendyhood would have it "rebounding." Yes, really. The sites for the tramps and the instructional videos make my insides get a little upheavy; that kind of lousy design sense doesn't bode well for me digging on the mini-tramp. But my sister has offered one on loan, so I'm'a give it a whirl.
- Hooping! My friend, Jodi, has been hooping for some time. Sometimes with FIRE. Yes, I said "FIRE." (I did not yell it in a crowded theater, so back off, Jack.)
For obvious reasons, I will begin with the hooping. One, I have a hoop. (See photo!) Two, I was hula hoop champeen on the Sacred Heart all-concrete, all-the-time playground back in the day, the day being somewhere around 1968 or '69. Hey, 40 years...what can it matter?
Plus, I now have fabulous Hulu action to keep me entertained whilst hooping: they just added Seasons 3 & 4 of Dragnet! I think there's kind of a fine symmetry to hooping along with the TV output of the guy responsible for introducing the two people who made me into the now-fat mass of cells I am.
Wish me luck. And please, share your February plan, if you have one.
*Not that January was bad, exactly; it was just a little hard on the ol' bod.
UPDATE! Neglected to mention that the photos in the triptych are by fabulous hoopster galpal, Jodi Womack. Woohoo for agreeing to document my body fat!

As Mexico Awaits Vote Decision, Social Upheaval Is on the Rise
Calderón, the Likely President, Will Face Mass Protests, Challenge to State Authority
MEXICO CITY -- With conservative Felipe Calderón now all but certain to become Mexico's next president, he faces a critical issue that will determine the success of his six-year term: How to prevent growing political confrontation from undermining the country's transition to democracy and free markets.
Mexico is coming off its version of the Florida 2000 election battle. Mr. Calderón's narrow July 2 defeat of his leftist opponent Andrés Manuel López Obrador also landed in a court,...

text: Every recruiter has a horror story about a candidate who failed to progress in through the selection process because the candidate turned up late, went to the wrong location or wore inappropriate attire. Most of the time, recruiters are quick to blame their candidates when mistakes like this arise. However, a good recruiter recognises that most of these problems can be avoided if the practical preparation is good and thorough enough. Don't be too afraid of patronising candidates by giving them advice that you might consider to be common sense – if there's one thing we know about common sense, it's that it's not that common after all! Basic elements like location, travel, timing and dress code are the kind of considerations which won't ensure that they get the job if they get them right but will almost certainly ensure that they don't progress if they get them wrong.

The Star Wars Battlefront inspired game is shaping up quite well.
Posted By Oliver VanDervoort | On 05th, Jan. 2017 Under News
The Star Wars Battlefront inspired game called Galaxy in Turmoil has generated quite a bit of buzz over the last few months but until now we hadn't been able to get a clear look at just how the game is shaping up. Frontwire Studios has long said this game will indeed be a kind of Star Wars Battlefront and will feature both single player and multiplayer modes.
According to the developers, the game will also be able to have 64 player combat and will have space to land battles. Tthe game is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and the developers are looking to release a beta in the third quarter of 2017.
While it might be a long way off until we get to see the beta, you can check out the trailer below. This is of course, quite a boon considering it's the first look we've gotten at the game in action.

Hello fellow humans!
I'm busy working away at my book and haven't had time to make a new exciting post for you guys, so I thought I'd share my most recent 24-hour challenge comic for you to read. It's the first piece of fiction I've done in a while, so I hope it's okay. Although I love fiction, I don't think my writing is as strong when I create it.
This the B&W version of the comic; you can get yourself your very own colour copy of the comic from my Etsy store here. Or if you're an Adelaide local, you can grab a copy at Greenlight Comics.
Anywho, I hope you enjoy... A Dog's Life.
Thanks for reading my comics guys. I hope you liked it!
Catch you next week!

March 2014 update on training
by thinmanApr 6th 2014
So another 3 months on and I'm quite happy with progress. Map my Ride tells me that I've done 77 workouts for 79 hours in total. That's slightly less than 7 hours a week which was my target and now I have 2 months to my first target race.
I've hit a 2 year personal best 10Km run despite niggling calf and Achilles issues and now have a bike threshold target of 220 watts, up from 190 last year. Swimming is still slow but I'm feeling like I'm getting on top of it and hope that when the open water season starts and I can wear a wetsuit helping to get my legs up!
I'm now targeting 10 hrs a week with a intense swim, bike and run session per week with a brick session. I'm still doing 2 Crossfit sessions to maintain core strength and because I enjoy it. 4 days on 1 day off seems to have worked and so now I need to do a couple of double session days and monitor my recovery.
See you at a session and if your training with me give me a shove and tell me to work a bit harder!

Today, I'm breaking out my "signature" pear sweater from J.Crew Factory! I purchased this sweater at the outlet in Georgia last year and have been in love with it ever since. It caught my eye in the sale section and I just couldn't leave the store without having it. The sweater is a size XL which is more than loose fitting on me, but I figure it would be a perfect sweater to pair with leggings (and I love wearing leggings).
As we approach burning hot outside they decided to crank the air up in the office and make it arctic cold, so I decided to take this babe out to wear to the office hoping it will be able to keep me warm. The sweater is loose enough that I can still get some air under it to stay somewhat cool outside, but provides enough coverage to keep me warm in the office. I paired the pear sweater with a black lace pencil skirt I got from Forever 21 years ago instead of leggings because it looks more formal and outside weather/work appropriate this way. Also I'm pretty sure the sweater shrunk after it's last visit to the washer so it's not as long as it used to be… Oops.

The Realtors at Most popular Properties Realty passionately care about what they do, which is a direct reflection of the communities they serve. Within the view of the true property business and a few economists, all that money is effectively spent. The ANC's attraction offensive within the Eastern Cape and Free State was met with cheers, jeers and difficult service delivery questions from disgruntled residents who complained about poor or inadequate services. Amandebele reached the final of the 1983 Mainstay Cup however their brave warriors misplaced 1-0 to Moroka Swallows at Ellis Park earlier than 70 000 spectators, when Ace Mnini hit a sensational, angled final-minute strike, which disappointed Aces' chairperson Sonny Ndala and manager Henry Mhlongo.
One other vital facet when deciding to make an actual property funding is the condition of the property. Virtually like they believe that with out this army of safety providers they could not survive. For the average man on the street in developing nations, provision of those services imply sustainability. One other key property that Sitt was unable to acquire earlier than the deadline was owned by the Russo household, and was not even inside the amusement district.

The Autograph BookPosted by Labels: autograph book, childhood memories
Does anyone remember when autograph books were the craze? Do school girls still have them? Do they even know what they are of have they been replaced by Facebook and smart phones?
I think my mom and dad gave me an autograph book the Christmas I was in grade six. The only reason I know this is that I found it in that trunk I mentioned in my last blog and many of the entries are dated. The first page is all about me - my signature (same name!), pasted-in photos - one on my horse, Rocky, and one carefully cut-out of another photograph.
The first autograph - on the first page of my book - is December 25, 1955 from my Uncle Don, who offers good advice at any time or age:
My brother (all of 9 years of age) also pens words of wisdom:
I hope I heeded the advice of my beloved music teacher:
There are more entries of sage advice (from my teachers mostly), silly ones (from my friends, especially the boys!) and sentimental ones. but the ones I value the most are those from my father, mother and grandmother. Here, in their own handwriting, are those entries:
|My dad's entry in his fine handwriting.
|Mom's entry, probably her own prose.
|Grandma Giauque's message to me.
So many things have changed in the last 50+ years and change is good. I have fought hard not to be one of those senior citizens who talks too much about the 'good old days", but when I look through this autograph book and remember those times I wonder if children are really any happier with their computers, televsion and cell phones. Do they still play marbles, jacks and pick-up sticks? Do they still jump rope at recess? Or are they texting their friends?
If I may offer one piece of advice, it's this: If you are not squirreling away memories now, start today. I certainly didn't know how much this would mean to me now but I so thankful that I always liked to 'save' stuff!
My trunk yielded a plethora of topics for future posts to this site - a scrapbook full of memorablia of my childhood, all of my report cards, high school exams, many, many birthday, Mother's Day and thank-you cards, now-yellowed clippings of my family and even a few children's books and toys. I think I'l walk down memory lane for a bit... Check back if you want to walk with me. I'm going to be posting more often than once a week until I get this out of my system.

Gennady Golovkin makes counter offer to Canelo Alvarez
By Joseph Correa
Gennady Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler, offered details about his response to the recent offer made by Canelo Alvarez and Golden Boy Promotions for a September super fight between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez.
Loeffler stated that he has prepared a handwritten, undisclosed counteroffer to Golden Boy to fight Alvarez after Oscar De La Hoya made a statement that he could pay Golovkin upwards of $10 million plus a percentage of the pay-per-view revenue generated.
Alvarez is coming off an impressive stoppage win over Britain's Liam Smith. Alvarez captured the WBO junior middleweight title dropping the former champion Smith three times en route to victory.
After the fight, it was discovered that Canelo Alvarez had fractured his right thumb which will sideline him from action for the remainder of the year.
Golovkin meanwhile is scheduled to fight once again in December, presumably against WBA interim champion Danny Jacobs.

About SavRow Computers
SavRow is high-end system builder focusing on bespoke technology solutions for high-performance applications. SavRow was founded with a primary focus on providing the ultimate in desktop PC design.
SavRow Bespoke Technology
Among our very first desktop designs was the phase-change (think refrigerator compressor) cooled (to under -21C) SavRow PlutoniumÂ, a 4GHz Pentium 4 system, that has retained the CPU performance crown since July 2003 when it was launched. This success has been replicated by our other desktop systems, the Diamond - recently featured in Esquire as 'Quite simply, the best computer in the world', and the Deuterium PC which won a global invitational system builder group test to be crowned Dream PC 2004 by Custom PC magazine.
Since 2003 our product range has expanded to include high performance laptops, providing the very best technology available, fully customised and tailored. These laptops have included the SavRow Blade-65 an awesome 15.4" WUXGA Centrino laptop and the award-winning SavRow Razor, which was recently crowned as the Ultimate Designer Laptop by PC Pro magazine in a high-hitting group test, and later lead to the product being nominated by PC Pro staff for most desirable piece of hardware 2004.
SavRow Bespoke Design
Our systems are somewhat unique in offering a bespoke design both technically and aesthetically. Currently we offer our laptops and desktops in 30 pre-defined SavRoyal paints based on Lamborghini and Ferrari-style paints, and colour shifting TVR-style Gold-Red and Green-Purple paints, these are offered in a number of designs including GT stripes and a good view of some of the designs can be seen in our product WebGallery (http://savrow.com/forums2/album.php). This comprehensive range of pre-defined paints is complemented by our ability to match any automobile paint requested by our clients.
SavRowÂs Professional range incorporated this paint expertise to provide professional clients with highly bespoke presentational laptops and desktops in the corporate colours of our clients (we can match any Pantone® colour) and also embedding corporate logo's under the lacquer of the painted units to provide a funky corporate branding statement.

Dr. Gina Dimitropoulos, University of Calgary
With technological advances and the explosion of the Internet, the creation and distribution of child sexual abuse images have increased exponentially. Child sexual abuse images online (CSAIO) are nearly impossible to destroy, and the increasing use of technology by perpetrators has aided in the continuous, lifelong abuse of victims. Frontline service providers are often the first to discover or receive disclosures of CSAIO by children and youth but are not supplied with adequate information and training for this task.
This study looks to explore the current level of knowledge, confidence, and capacity of frontline service providers in recognizing and responding to CSAIO. Using a mixed-methods design and an integrated knowledge translation protocol, we will distribute an online questionnaire across Southern Alberta, targeting five practice fields:
1. law enforcement
2. child welfare
3. specialized mental health services
4. specialized child abuse services
5. school support staff.
Following the survey, we will host focus groups to discuss the findings and develop recommendations and outcomes based on the survey and focus group results. This process is facilitated by an interdisciplinary research team that brings together new and experienced researchers (University of Calgary), community partners (Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre), and decision-makers, along with an Advisory Committee of experts in the five practice fields to ensure the outcomes can be implemented and integrated in practice.
In 2016/2017, PolicyWise developed an Evaluation Action Plan for the Framework to End Family Violence in Alberta. PolicyWise is now assisting Community And Social Services in implementing the action plan. Using the plan's recommendations, several evaluation projects have been identified and prioritized for implementation.

An at-risk Tudor inn dating back to 1599 is being rescued by Heritage Lincolnshire thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant.
The Grade II listed Old King's Head, in Kirton, Lincolnshire, is a significant 16th-century inn with a rich history and many stories to tell. Currently standing vacant and in urgent need of repairs, a Heritage Enterprise grant of more than £2million will enable the building to be restored and brought back into use, providing jobs, trainee opportunities and a boost to local tourism.
Heritage Lincolnshire has an excellent track record in saving historic buildings for new uses and has received HLF support to secure the future of the building, which has now been purchased by the charity. It will be repaired, refurbished and revived as an artisan café and boutique bed and breakfast.
Heritage Lincolnshire also plans to explore how the building developed over the centuries - volunteers will undertake a full assessment of the building fabric and documentary research, as well as helping to collect reminiscences and maybe even a few ghost stories.
Heritage Lincolnshire is also planning a community archaeological dig to reveal evidence of the medieval settlement of the area and encourage residents to understand more of their local heritage and history.
Liz Bates, Chief Executive of Heritage Lincolnshire, said: "We're delighted that HLF has supported this project - The Old King's Head is a very important building that fell into disrepair and is now at risk from dereliction. We look forward to working with the local community, our volunteers and our project partners to ensure that all of the planning and fundraising for this exciting project is achieved over the next 12 months."
Ben Greener, HLF Historic Environment Policy Advisor, said: "HLF introduced Heritage Enterprise to enable local people to save the buildings they love. But this funding was never about simply saving a building for the sake of it. By bringing much-loved but derelict buildings back into use as viable businesses, Heritage Enterprise projects provide an economic shot-in-the-arm for places which need it most. And this project is a great example of how HE investment transforms a potential eyesore into an economic asset - bringing jobs and investment to Kirton, Boston and beyond."
Kirton borders Boston, a priority development area for HLF, which is interested in helping to celebrate Boston heritage projects of all shapes and sizes and would welcome community groups getting in touch to discuss project ideas.
Liz Bates added her thanks to all the partners: "All of the project partners working together have helped to get us to this point. The Pilgrim Trust has supported us with a grant, and a loan from the Architectural Heritage Fund enabled us to purchase the building. We've also had a great deal of support from Boston Borough Council who are a key partner. And we're looking forward to finding an additional partner to join the project as business operator."

Disaster Assistance Available for Drought-Stricken Businesses
We received a notification from the US Small Business Administration about funding for Valley County businesses. Have a look:
Sacramento, CA – Small, nonfarm businesses in 70 Nebraska counties and neighboring counties in Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming are now eligible to apply for low interest federal disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). "These loans offset economic losses because of the drought that began July 24, 2012, in the following primary Nebraska counties," announced Alfred E. Judd, Director of SBA's Disaster Field Operations Center-West.
Primary Nebraska counties: Antelope, Arthur, Banner, Blaine, Box Butte, Brown, Buffalo, Cedar, Chase, Cherry, Cheyenne, Dawes, Dawson, Deuel, Dixon, Franklin, Garden, Garfield, Gosper, Grant, Hall, Harlan, Holt, Hooker, Kearney, Keith, Keya Paha, Kimball, Knox, Lincoln, Logan, Loup, Madison, McPherson, Morrill, Perkins, Phelps, Pierce, Platte, Rock, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan, Sioux, Stanton, Thomas, Wayne and Wheeler.
Neighboring Nebraska counties: Adams, Boone, Boyd, Butler, Clay, Colfax, Cuming, Custer, Dakota, Dundy, Frontier, Furnas, Greeley, Hamilton, Hayes, Howard, Merrick, Nance, Polk, Sherman, Thurston, Valley and Webster.
Neighboring Colorado counties: Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Weld and Yuma.
Neighboring Kansas counties: Norton, Phillips and Smith.
Neighboring South Dakota counties: Bennett, Bon Homme, Charles Mix, Clay, Fall River, Gregory, Shannon, Todd, Tripp, Union and Yankton;Neighboring Wyoming counties: Goshen, Laramie and Niobrara.
"SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster," Judd said.
Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
"Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 4% for businesses and 3% for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship," Judd said.
By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on August 1, 2012.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the Secretary's declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA's Customer Service Center by calling SBA toll-free at (800) 659-2955, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or visiting SBA's Web site at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing may call (800) 877-8339.
The deadline to apply for these loans is April 1, 2013.

Today is day twenty-three of my challenge to post each day about Harry Potter. Quotes, books, films, discussions and silliness. Yesterday was another Who Am I? The answer of course was Neville Longbottom!
Today's post is another cover lover! Book No.5 – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
The second book is the one I own so I have a soft spot for that cover but – I absolutely love the last two.

Thanks to our very own Benjamin Jentgen, the lab now has a paper in the field of sauropology! Benjamin took care of the bone histology sections.
Verónica Díez Díaz, Géraldine Garcia, Xabier Pereda Suberbiola, Benjamin Jentgen-Ceschino, Koen Stein, Pascal Godefroit, Xavier Valentin. 2018. The titanosaurian dinosaur Atsinganosaurus velauciensis(Sauropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of southern France: New material, phylogenetic affinities, and palaeobiogeographical implications. Cretaceous Research , in press. don:10.1016/j.cretres.2018.06.015
Paper can be found here
New remains of the titanosaurian sauropod Atsinganosaurus velauciensis from its Upper Cretaceous type horizon and type locality in Velaux-La Bastide Neuve (Bouches-du-Rhône Department, Provence) in southern France are described. This locality is considered to be upper Campanian (Argiles et Grès à Reptiles Formation, Aix-en-Provence Basin). The new material consists of skull fragments, including a partial braincase, isolated teeth, elements of the axial skeleton (cervical, dorsal and caudal vertebrae, ribs), and appendicular bones (scapula, humeri, ulna, metacarpals, ilia, ischia, femur, tibia, metatarsal). Histological investigation shows that the analysed individuals were mature. The emended diagnosis of Atsinganosaurus velauciensis includes a pubic peduncle of the ilium with a posterior concave surface in its distal half, surrounded by two sharp ridges. Equations for predicting body mass and size in sauropods suggest a body size up to 12 m and a body mass of at least 3.5–5 tonnes for the largest individuals.
A phylogenetic analysis including 29 sauropod taxa was performed, with the European titanosaurs Atsinganosaurus, Ampelosaurus, Lirainosaurus, Lohuecotitan, Paludititan(Late Cretaceous) and Normanniasaurus (Early Cretaceous) all scored in the same analysis for the first time. Atsinganosaurus and Ampelosaurus form a clade that is phylogenetically proximal to Lirainosaurus within Lithostrotia – a clade here named Lirainosaurinae nov. – whereas Lohuecotitan and Paludititan form a clade towards the base of Lithostrotia. Normanniasaurus is resolved outside Lithostrotia, but within Titanosauria. From a palaeobiogeographical perspective, the phylogenetic results suggest that European titanosaurs belong to at least three distinct lineages and that two lithostrotian lineages were present during the latest Cretaceous in the European archipelago.
Rock and roll
Today sees the publication of our postdoc Julien Denayer's master thesis, a couple of years in the making! It describes very peculiar "rolling reefs" from the Late Devonian, which might result from the onset of the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction!
Julien Denayer. 2018. From rolling stones to rolling reefs: a Devonian example of highly diverse macroids. Lethaia, https://doi.org/10.1111/let.12278
The upper carbonate member of the Aisemont Formation (Upper Frasnian, Belgium) yielded a surprisingly diverse assemblage of macroids varying in size, shape and composition, from simplest microbial oncoid to complex, polytaxic circumrotatory macroid. A descriptive classification combining composition and geometry of macroids is proposed. It suits for sedimentological and palaeobiological analyses. Five categories forming a continuum are distinguished as follows: (1) simple oncoids, consisting of microbial coating of various nuclei; (2) composite oncoids, involving several encrusting taxa and microbes‐induced precipitates; (3) simple circumrotatory macroids, constructed by one or few different organisms and forming free‐rolling particle; (4) polytaxic circumrotatory macroids, constructed by diverse organisms, usually in sequential coating and form free‐rolling object; and, (5) polytaxic domed macroids, polytaxic assemblage of encrusting organism forming domed or columnar anchored bioconstructions. The dominant (in number and volume) encrusting organisms are the tabulate corals and stromatoporoids that both possessed the ability to attach to any hard substrate. Microbes also contributed to the formation of macroids although the volume they occupy is relatively limited. Skeletal invertebrates likely grew during the good season when environmental conditions were suitable for the growth, then partly or totally died and was colonized by microbes during the bad season. The surface of the macroid (after rolling or not) was subsequently re‐coated with skeletal organisms when suitable conditions re‐established. Final burial of the macroid occurred during the good season as their outermost surface is rarely coated with microbes. Geopetal sediment filling of cavities displays various directions indicating the rolling of the objects during their formation. Periodical rolling or tilting may be related to seasonal storms and the resulting assemblage formed genuine rolling reefs of crucial importance for birth palaeoecological and sedimentological analysis.

Young people inspired to never give up their dreams of achieving bigger things
18 December 2017
Over 80 young people celebrate their National Citizen Service graduation with Y C Hertfordshire.
On Thursday 7th December, YC Hertfordshire held its autumn graduation ceremony to celebrate the achievements of those who completed the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme earlier in the autumn.
The ceremony, held at County Hall in Hertford, was an opportunity for NCS graduates to showcase their successful social action projects to their parents, reunite with their team mates and leaders and receive their NCS certificates of achievement.
The event featured a talk by motivational speaker Chineme Ezigbo, who called on young people to never give up their dreams of achieving bigger things and encouraged them to give whatever they do 100 percent. He also thanked the parents for their continuing support, for never giving up on their teenager, no matter what life throws at them.
As part of their YC Hertfordshire NCS experience every young person spent 30 hours volunteering on a social action project, which they designed and led themselves. This year YC Hertfordshire worked with a large cohort of students from Hertford Regional College who used the social action element of NCS for their course work experience and 41 students graduated from the college alone.
Projects included an activity day for a group of elderly people with dementia which involved a quiz, science experiments and cooking and an East Herts group made a mental health awareness film.
The young people who completed the programme said:
"I loved learning new skills (such as first aid) as it's a valuable skill to have and put on my CV. It has improved my teamwork skills and confidence with new people."
"It was amazing, I had an amazing time. Wish I could go again."
YC Hertfordshire runs NCS programmes during school holidays throughout the year and is currently recruiting for the summer 2018.
If you're in School Years 11 or 12 and are interested in taking part in NCS, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or register your interest here.

So the other day I was on my way home from our annual Women's Christmas Tea. Well, it's usually a Brunch, but this year it was a very delightful Tea. Along with all kinds of tea and coffee with flavored creamers, there was a beautiful spread of sandwiches and too many sweets to choose from. Somehow I managed to choose anyway. A lovely gift of a little booklet was also given to each of us and I was planning on reading through it when I got home. All I saw was the name Billy Graham on the front cover.
I stopped by Starbucks and grabbed myself a venti decaf iced mocha and was headed out the door to the parking lot with thoughts of getting my house in order. I looked up and blocking my way to my car was a small, very old, very beat up car. I saw the driver, a haggard-looking woman, who started to say something to me that I couldn't quite catch. My ears finally began to tune in to what she was saying: she didn't have any money and needed some food for her and her children, who I saw out of the corner of my eye sitting in the back seat. She muttered something about praying for me as a thank you if I could help her out.
Now, I've been faced with situations like this before. Unfortunately, my past experiences have made me quite cynical about handing out money to strangers who confront me like that.
The scene usually goes something like this:
(In the parking lot of a gas station) "I don't have any money and my car is out of gas. I have to get to *insert some far-away location*, could you please give me some money?"
"Where's your car?"
"It's around the corner"
"Well, if you'll pull your car up to a gas pump I'll pay inside to put so you can put some gas in your car."
Waiting, waiting, waiting…No car in sight.
So as I stood there staring at this woman in the beat up car with my $4 coffee in my hand, I finally manage to grunt out a "huh," trying to bide my time while I decide whether or not I should help this woman and her nearly grown children. There's a grocery store in sight and I figure if I say I'll meet her in the store she'll turn me down or simply won't show up.
"Wanna meet me at Safeway?" I say.
"Sure," she says.
That immediately throws me for a loop. She drives off while I get in my car, look around and see that she's nowhere in sight. I have a clean get-away if I want. But something inside says, "No, you told her you would meet her there, you should follow through."
So I drive over, park, walk to the front of the store, and sure enough, she's standing there with a cart in her hands. As I'm walking toward her and her son I'm thinking, "How am I going to do this? Am I going to shop with her? I have no cash. How much should I allow her to get?" I meet up with her and we walk inside. She tells me she hasn't gotten her food stamps and thanks me profusely. I tell her just to think of it as a gift from the Lord and she says, "Are you a Christian?" and I say, "Yes."
"Praise the Lord!" she responds. I still can't tell if she's genuine or if it's an act. She tells me I can shop with her or I can purchase a store gift card for her. I tell her that's a good idea and she moves right to the aisle of an empty lane and spots one immediately. She's done this before. I purchase the card, and begin to look for her. One full lap around the store and I finally see her walking toward me. I give her the card and pull the Billy Graham booklet from my purse and give it to her. We exchange hugs and I leave her to her shopping.
For a day or two I mull over in my mind whether or not I should have helped her. Is she a drug addict or an alcoholic who uses her government assistance to fund her addiction instead of feeding herself and her family? Is she somehow going to use the gift card for something other than food? The mom in me didn't want to enable a bad habit.
I will probably never know the truth, but God does. I do know that I walked into that parking lot at the exact moment she drove through. I know that for an inexplicable (okay, maybe not so inexplicable) reason, I drove to the grocery store instead of heading home. I know that I had tucked away a Billy Graham booklet in my purse just that morning and it was on my heart to give it to her. I know that I have prayed for her and her children more than once since that Saturday.
And I know that there was a time when I was beat up from sin and my heart had been anything but genuine. But I asked God for help and He didn't judge me. I was guilty, yes, but God had sent His Son to be born as a babe in a humble stable, to grow up and die on a cross. He had already paid the price of the judgment for my sin. Instead of judging me guilty, He showed me mercy and gave me new life.
Our God is a benevolent and merciful Father and He loves to see His children show mercy, too, at Christmastime, and always.
"He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8)

This residential development features elegance and a sleek design to breathe new life into this "glass city" landmark and stands as a visible symbol of a revitalized downtown.
Through adaptive use, the historic Fiberglas Tower—a vacant, high-rise office building that was previously home to Owens Corning's world headquarters—was redeveloped into a mixed-use residential building with scenic views of the Maumee River and downtown Toledo. The Mid-Century Modern tower is the second tallest in the city and was designed by Harrison and Abramovitz as a centerpiece of an urban renewal masterplan by I. M. Pei.
The top eleven floors of the 28-story building were converted to high-end residential apartments; the core and shell of floors below were rehabilitated for future use as office space. The unit interiors fuse contemporary design with the mid-century character of the building and also feature tile flooring imported from Italy. Replacement of the window film of the curtain walls improves the solar performance, increases visibility, and enhances the exterior aesthetics. Finally, the ground floor lobby was restored to closely match its original historic appearance.

Party on!
Life is filled with a lot of grown-up tasks. Paying bills, running a house, going to work, organizing the family schedules—we don't have any choice but to buckle down and get these sorts of things done. But we do have a choice when it comes to infusing our lives with a little levity every now and then. We can choose to seek out fun and embrace every opportunity to enjoy those moments of joy.
In fact, theoretically we can do it every single day of the year, because there are silly "holidays" and wacky "national days" for virtually every date on the calendar. In fact, coming up this month: Bubble Bath Day on the 8th, Squirrel Appreciation Day on the 21st, and National Kazoo day on the 28th, to name but a few.
Check out Holiday Insights or Student Beans to find funny days to celebrate all year long.
Why not choose a holiday that tickles your funny bone, and then go all out? Send out themed invitations, make homemade decorations (because chances are there aren't any store-bought "Chocolate Milk Shake Day" (September 12) decorations out there), select the perfect party food that somehow matches your crazy day and get set to have some wacky fun!
Pinterest is a great place to start looking for interesting food ideas, and check out Catch My Party and Martha Stewart for some wonderful homemade decoration inspiration. You may not be able to find directions for "Dictionary Day" (October 16) decorations, but there may be ideas you can customize to fit your chosen wacky holiday.
Think outside the box and make it an event your friends and family will never forget. Infusing their lives with silliness and fun is something they will always thank you for—and you may even inspire them to carry on the tradition and host some wacky-day parties of their own.
You might even consider amping up the fun quotient on your next birthday by celebrating whatever weird holiday also falls on that day. If your birthday is on April 11, for example, imagine inviting your friends to a 40th birthday party that is also honoring Barber Shop Quartet Day at the same time. The possibilities for pointless but fantastic fun are endless.
Enjoying celebrations with family and friends is part of what makes life grand. So if you don't think you have much to celebrate, think again; every day is a holiday!

Dear St. Amelia Families:
Happy summer to all our new and returning families! I hope you are enjoying the summer and taking
time for faith, love, family, and rest.
St. Amelia Parish is pleased to welcome our new Parochial Vicar, Rev. Peter Santandreu! Fr. Sibby,
Fr. Peter and our administrative staff have been busy planning and renewing our vision for St. Amelia School.
Pope Francis wants us to be fully aware of what it means to be baptized, to rejoice in the gift, and to
embrace completely the Christian way of living. So, let us ask: "What does it mean to follow Jesus?" In fact,
that question can be answered rather simply — It is a matter of listening and doing. An authentic disciple of
Jesus Christ is one who first listens to his Word and then puts it into practice. This is our mission as we are
all missionary disciples. Our school year will focus on that premise.
The safety of our children remains a constant priority. The faculty and staff of St. Amelia School are
continually being trained to appropriately respond to emergency situations. During the last week of August,
we have scheduled one of our staff development days to be devoted to safety training. Local law
enforcement, state police officers, and FBI representatives will be in house to provide a hands-on training and
simulation experience that certainly distinguishes our staff as being prepared in measures to protect our
children. We are aware that the greatest responsibility entrusted to us is keeping our children safe, and we
are committed to honoring that.
Some new measures will be in place beginning mid-August:
We purchased a device to scan government issued identification of all visitors that enter the building;
The front doors (Eggert Road) will be used for students in Grades K – 8,
St. Amelia Drive will be used for our Pre Kindergartner students ONLY.
Staff members will be assigned to assist you at both doors, please coorporate with them.
In approximately one month we will have our back-to-school orientation on Thursday, August 23,
2018. I wanted to take this time to give you some information and mail important paperwork home. Last
year we tried very hard to be paperless, putting more information on our website and Tuesday email blast to
all families. We ask that you become familiar with our Website for further back-to-school information and
updated information through the website. In hopes of becoming a more green school, we have attached in
this email those forms we agree are critical for all families to receive early. All these forms can also be found
on our website, www.stameliaschool.org, under News and appropriate sections.
Once again, things are busy in the summer. Our enrollment continues to stay above 600 students as
several grade levels are now full and have waiting lists for attendance. Besides painting, cleaning rugs, and
general maintenance, the school is a flurry of activity. We completed our three summer camps, each one
filled to capacity. We purchased new chrome books for all incoming 6th graders and the computer room and
library were redone and updated thanks to a generous donation from our Home School Association.
We have made summer reading as easy as possible — all we ask you to do is monitor your child
reading. Research has shown that it is important for children to read on a daily basis during the summer to
maintain and improve skills worked on during the school year. Please remember to complete the reading
log. Just a reminder that all students are expected to complete reading summer assignments before the
start of school; logs are due Friday, September 7, 2018.
Enjoy the remainder of your summer and God bless.
Yours in Christ,
Mr. James Mulé
Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school.
He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classrooms.
He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students!

WOW!! Can you believe the difference in just three short weeks??? I can't.
Some close-ups of the fruit (pun intended) of
our my husband's labor.
We've already tasted our spinach, zucchini, yellow squash, and cucumber and they are all delicious. My favorite thing ever is to go out to the garden and pick vegetables and cook them for dinner. It makes me SO happy!
Anyone want to pre-order some tomatoes? Care to buy some zucchini? I don't think we're going to be able to eat it all!!

PM hosts dinner for Obamas
PM hosts dinner for Obamas
New Delhi:Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday night hosted a private dinner for visiting US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle which was attended by political bigwigs, business leaders, actors and sports personalities.
The Obamas drove to the 7, Race Course Road residence of Singh from ITC Maurya where they are staying. They were warmly welcomed by Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur.
The guests included UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, senior union ministers Pranab Mukherjee, A K Antony, P Chidambaram, S M Krishna and Sharad Pawar, senior BJP leader L K Advani and AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
Omar Abdullah was the only chief minister invited to the PM's private dinner.Omar was seen chatting for a while with Obama and his wife Michelle at the dinner.
Kashmir's famed beauty is believed to have figured in the chit-chat during which Omar remarked that he hoped that the US first couple would visit the state some day.
Top business leaders Azim Premji, Ratan Tata, Swati Piramal and N R Narayanamurthy were among the guests which also included Bollywood personalities Aamir Khan, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akthar.
Chess wizard Viswanathan Anand and Environmental Activist Sunita Narain was also present at the dinner.
Mahatma Gandhi's favourite bhajan 'Vaishnav Jan to tene kahiye jay peerh paraaye janney ray´ played by the Indian Navy and BSF Camels Band was heard with rapt attention by Obama, a self-confessed disciple of the Father of the Nation.
This was followed by the all-time hit from 'Waqt´ - 'O meri zohra jabeen, tujhe maloom nahin´.
Obama was seated on the head table with Prime Minister Singh, his wife Gursharan Kaur, Michelle, Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee and Rahul Gandhi.
The dinner started with shorba and mulagatani soups and the main course included chingara jammu prongs, fish and green-chilly lamb, kakori kababs, mughlai chicken, gobi, dal dampukht, rice pulao and a variety of Indian breads.
The dessert included kesar phirni and mava poti. The catering was from ITC Maurya where the Obamas are staying.
Ahead of the dinner, Singh and Obama were closeted for a one-on-one meeting for about 25 minutes during which the two leaders were understood to have taken stock of bilateral ties and ways to push these to higher levels of strategic partnership.
The two leaders are believed to have taken an overview of the bilateral relations, which have grown substantially over the last few years.
Earlier in the day, Singh set aside protocol and went to the Indira Gandhi International airport to receive the US First Couple who arrived here on the second leg of the visit after a hectic 26-hour stay in Mumbai.

Erie County opened an investigation into a report of improper behavior involving an inmate on Aug. 29.
Erie County has indefinitely restricted former Erie Mayor Rick Filippi from having private contact with inmates at the Erie County Prison after an investigation found he twice engaged in improper behavior with an inmate in August.
Filippi, a lawyer, was meeting with the inmate in an attorney-client room, the county said.
"The administration conducted a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the incident involving Attorney Rick Filippi's recent visit to the Erie County Prison," Gary Lee, the county's director of administration, said in a statement on Wednesday. "We concluded that it is necessary to restrict Mr. Filippi's 'contact visitation' rights with inmates indefinitely at the Erie County Prison."
The investigation also has the potential to affect Filippi's law license. Erie County officials will pass on their findings to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Disciplinary Board for lawyers, Lee said in an interview.
"There were actions that took place that were completely unprofessional and inappropriate," Lee said. He declined to describe the actions or to name the inmate involved in the incident.
Filippi declined to comment on the county's investigation Tuesday, when he appeared at the Erie County Courthouse to represent a legal client. He could not be reached for comment after the county announced its decision Wednesday.
The investigation was spurred after prison staff noticed improper behavior occurring in the prison's attorney-client meeting room, Lee said.
The county's investigation found two occasions in which Filippi engaged in improper behavior during visits with the same inmate on Aug. 27 and Aug. 29, Lee said. County officials also reviewed his interactions with other inmates in the past but did not find other instances of suspect behavior, he said.
Prison visitor logs provided by the county following a Right-to-Know request reflect Filippi's visits to the prison on Aug. 27 and Aug. 29. Erie County Solicitor Richard Perhacs denied a request from the Erie Times-News for surveillance video footage of the incident, which the county reviewed as part of its investigation.
The investigation found that Filippi seemed to be visiting the inmate in his capacity as a lawyer, Lee said.
"It's the county's understanding that Mr. Filippi's visitation to the inmate was in the form of an attorney to meet with an inmate," he said.
Lee also said he consulted with the Erie County District Attorney's Office, which concluded the incident did not rise to the level of criminal activity. Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri confirmed Wednesday that he found there was no criminal conduct in the situation as it was described to him by Lee.
The restriction prohibits Filippi from having "contact visitation," or visits in which physical contact with inmates is possible. He may continue meeting with inmates by talking through a phone, separated by glass.
Prison officials first issued the restriction while the county's full investigation was pending.
Filippi was informed of the investigation's results by letter Wednesday, Lee said. The county provided a copy of the letter to the Erie Times-News.
"The administration has concluded that in order to ensure the safety and security of the prison it is necessary to restrict the conditions under which you will be permitted to confer with inmates," the letter states."Effective immediately, you will not be permitted to meet with inmates in circumstances where physical contact with an inmate is possible."
Lee said the county would be open to revisiting the restriction in the future, and that Filippi may ask to have the restriction reviewed.
Filippi was not interviewed as part of the investigation and the county has not received a response since sending him the letter informing him of the restriction, Lee said.
The inmate was interviewed and cooperated with the investigation, Lee said.
Filippi served as mayor of Erie from 2002 to 2005. He returned to politics earlier this year in a losing bid for the Democratic nomination to run for state representative in the 2nd Legislative District, a seat formerly held by Flo Fabrizio.
