Lithophones – Colorado's first rock music
October 2, 2019 | View PDF
The 2019-2020 Niwot Historical Lecture series begins with a bang – a bang on an ancient musical instrument that is. In the first of four planned lectures for the upcoming season, archaeologist Marilyn Martorano, will discuss the lithophone, one of the rarest prehistoric artifacts discovered in Colorado.
"I always loved the archeology in the San Luis Valley, it's so diverse - from prehistoric times thousands of years ago to the historic period," Martorano said, "but I never thought I'd be studying stone artifacts that are instruments. That wasn't anything I had any ideas about until just a few years ago."
Born and raised in Alamosa, Martorano has been digging in her own regional backyard so to speak. She holds a masters in anthropology from Colorado State University and has worked professionally across the Rocky Mountain area including for the park service in the Great Sand Dunes and the forest service before starting her own consulting firm – Martorano Consultants LLC.
Her more than four decades of digging and researching has led to her being a highly sought-after leader in both research and cultural resources management. Martorano has worked to establish many National Historic Landmark designations in Colorado and has won several professional awards.
Her love for the past came to her early in life. Both of her parents had a deep interest in archeology. Her father taught at Adams State College and every summer family travels meant stops at every historical site on the road. Growing up in the San Luis Valley offered an abundance of evidence of prehistoric people. Martorano has an appreciation for the importance of history and wants to be sure it's shared with the public.
She first laid eyes on the cylindrical smooth stones (some as long as two feet) at the Great Sand Dunes. The initial guess was that they were grinding or digging tools. But it was striking that their "use patterns" and large size were inconsistent with being simply utilitarian. So the odd rocks were tucked away for many years awaiting an epiphany that would pinpoint their purpose.
In 2013, Martorano discovered the rocks were something more moving than tools. A YouTube video sent to Martorano by a colleague showed a French researcher with drawers of the same type of artifacts that soldiers had brought back from Africa in the early 1900s. When the researcher tapped on the rocks, they resonated. Called litho for stone and phone for sound in Greek, the highly modified rocks from the Great Sand Dunes finally had a name and became part of a category of relics found all around the world.
Suspended on a lap or legs, hung vertically or placed horizontally atop a rope, the reverberating rocks each emit different tones when knocked on or rubbed with a mallet.
"It kind of opened a whole new realm, at least for me, thinking about music and sound for ancient folks," Martorano said.
Why did our very early predecessors, who were hunter gatherers moving from one locale to another, find these belongings so necessary that they carried them even though they weighed up to 10 pounds apiece? Were the sounds made for pleasure, communication or were they perhaps used in ceremonies?
"It's really interesting to me that they were spending the time to make these artifacts, which are so amazing when you look at them. They're pecked and shaped so beautifully and they're heavy. To me that means they were really important because you wouldn't be carrying them around unless it meant something," Martorano said.
Martorano's presentation will cover where these ancient musical instruments are found and will explore the research being done to uncover their mysteries.
Attendees will have an opportunity to see and play lithophones on loan to Martorano from the Colorado History Museum and San Luis Valley collections. Some of the lithophones on display are thought to be 6,000 years old or older.
The lecture will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Left Hand Grange, 195 2nd Avenue, Niwot. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for pre-lecture coffee, snacks, and conversation. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free to Niwot Historical Society members and $5 for non-members. The hall is handicap accessible.
The Niwot Historical Society's mission is to preserve, collect, and protect the history of Niwot and the surrounding area. To join the Niwot Historical Society, which is a 501(c)3 non- profit organization, an individual membership is $15 and families are $25. All donations are tax deductible.

The publication of the British Geological Survey memoir on Rum and the Small Isles in 1997 was followed by a period of intense petrological and mineralogical research, leading to some 40 papers, books and other publications. The research progress since then is reviewed here and integrated with the information previously available to provide an overview of the current status of understanding of the centre. New data on the acidic and mixed acid/basic magmas of the early Rum caldera demonstrate that frequent mafic replenishments were the main driver for magmatic activity at Rum right from its initial stages. The caldera is bound by the Main Ring Fault, a structure which probably also exercised an influence on the emplacement of the subsequent basic and ultrabasic intrusions. The later emplacement of gabbros and ultrabasic rocks caused only limited thermal metamorphism of the surrounding Torridonian sandstones, contrasting markedly with the crustal isotope signatures of the early intracaldera ignimbrite magmas and the intense alteration of uplifted masses of Lewisian gneiss within the ring fault. Rare picritic dykes provide an indication of the possible parent magma for the mafic and ultrabasic rocks, but these, as with most other magmatic rocks on Rum, have undergone varying degrees of crustal contamination, involving both Lewisian granulite and amphibolite-type crust but, notably, no Moine metasedimentary compositions as is the case at the nearby Ardnamurchan centre. Detailed textural studies on the gabbroic and ultrabasic rocks allow a distinction between intrusive peridotites and peridotite that forms part of the classic layered cumulate units of Rum and, furthermore, this work and that on the chromite seams and veins in these rocks shows that movement of trapped magma and magma derived from later intrusions, may produce textures regarded previously as of primary cumulate origin. Sulfides in the chromitite seams and ultrabasic rocks, in turn, show possible influences from assimilated Mesozoic sediments. Igneous activity on Rum was short-lived, possibly only between 0.5 and 1 m.y. in duration and commenced at ∼60.5 Ma. The Rum Central Complex was extinct by the time the main activity at the nearby Skye Central Complex commenced (∼59 Ma). From recent apatite fission-track studies it seems probable that Rum, in common with other Palaeogene centres, underwent a brief, but significantly later heating event (∼45 Ma).
The Southern Mountains Zone of the Rum Central Complex lies inside a major ring fault and comprises an intricate association of country-rock outcrops, breccias and rhyodacite. The breccias and rhyodacite were long thought to be products of subterranean explosion and intrusion, respectively. Here, we report new observations that support re-interpretation of these units as mass movement deposits and ignimbrites. The most abundant breccias (Coire Dubh-type) consist mainly of country-rock clasts <1 m in diameter in a sand or silt matrix. Internally bedded and graded, and interlayered with sandstones and lithic tuffs, these breccias are interpreted as debris flow and stream flow deposits. Rhyodacite sheets show gradational or sharp, concordant contacts with Coire Dubh-type breccias, and display graded basal lithic tuffs and graded fiamme swarms. These sheets are interpreted as moderately to densely welded rhyodacite ignimbrites (25–100 m thick). A steep body of fragmented (fiamme-bearing) rhyodacite with intrusive non-fragmented contacts is interpreted as an ignimbrite vent system. The rhyodacite and breccia succession is over 200 m thick and unconformably overlies a structurally uplifted Precambrian basement, within which there is also evidence of later subsidence. Outcrops of potential caldera-collapse 'megabreccia' are more structurally consistent than previously thought, and are re-interpreted here as coherent segments of Precambrian country rock (caldera floor). The Southern Mountains Zone breccias and rhyodacites respectively reflect sedimentary and pyroclastic processes acting in response to a complex tectonic interplay of intrusion-related uplift and caldera subsidence.
The Rum Igneous Centre comprises two early marginal felsic complexes (the Northern Marginal Zone and the Southern Mountains Zone), along with the later central ultrabasic–basic layered intrusions. These marginal complexes represent the remnants of near-surface to eruptive felsic magmatism associated with caldera collapse, examples of which are rare in the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Rock units include intra-caldera collapse breccias, rhyolitic ignimbrite deposits and shallow-level felsic intrusions, as well the enigmatic 'Am Màm intrusion breccia'. The latter comprises a dacitic matrix enclosing lobate basaltic inclusions (~1–15 cm) and a variety of clasts, ranging from millimetres to tens of metres in diameter. These clasts comprise Lewisian gneiss, Torridonian sandstone and coarse gabbro. Detailed re-mapping of the Am Màm intrusion breccia has shown its timing of emplacement as syn-caldera, rather than pre-caldera as previously thought. Textural analysis of entrained clasts and adjacent, uplifted country rocks has revealed their thermal metamorphism by early mafic intrusions at greater depth than their present structural position. These findings provide a window into the evolution of the early mafic magmas responsible for driving felsic magmatism on Rum. Our data help constrain some of the physical parameters of this early magma–crust interaction and place it within the geochemical evolution of the Rum Centre.
The Western Granite is the largest of several granitic bodies around the margin of the Rum Central Igneous Complex. We report palaeomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) data that bear on the emplacement and deformation of the Western Granite. The collection includes samples from 27 sites throughout the Western Granite, five sites in adjacent feldspathic peridotite, and two sites in intermediate to mafic hybrid contact aureole rocks. Palaeomagnetic data from 22 of the 27 sites in the granite provide an in situ group mean D = 213.2°, I = −69.5°, α95 = 5.5° that is discordant to an early Paleocene reverse polarity expected field (about 184°, −66°, α95 = 4.3°). The discrepancy is eliminated by removing an inferred 15° of northwest-side-down tilting about a best fit horizontal tilt axis trending 040°. Data from the younger peridotite and hybrid rocks of the Rum Layered Suite provide an in situ group mean of D = 182.6°, I = −64.8°, α95 = 4.0°, which is statistically indistinguishable from an early Paleocene expected field, and imply no post-emplacement tilting of these rocks since remanence acquisition. The inferred tilt recorded in the Western Granite, which did not affect the younger Layered Suite, suggests that emplacement of the ultrabasic rocks resulted in roof uplift and associated tilt of the Western Granite to make space for mafic magma emplacement. Magnetic fabric magnitude and susceptibility parameters yield two subtle groupings in the Western Granite AMS data set. Group 1 data, defined by rocks from exposures to the east and south, have comparatively high bulk susceptibilities (Kmean, 29.51 × 10−3 in SI system), stronger anisotropies (Pj, 1.031) and oblate susceptibility ellipsoids. Group 2 data, from rocks in the west part of the pluton, have lower values of Kmean (15.89 × 10−3 SI) and Pj (1.014), and triaxial susceptibility ellipsoids. Magnetic lineations argue for emplacement of the granite as a tabular sheet from the south–southeast toward the north and west. Moderate to steeply outward-dipping magnetic foliations, together with deflection of the country rock bedding in the north, are consistent with doming accompanying magma emplacement.
The Palaeogene Slieve Gullion Igneous Complex comprises a layered central intrusion surrounded by a slightly older ring dyke. The ring dyke contains two major intrusive rock types. About 70% of the ring dyke is occupied by porphyritic granophyre and 30% by porphyritic felsite. Locally complex relationships between the two lithologies are observed. Major and trace element compositions suggest that there are two distinct chemical groups within each lithology: a Si-rich felsite, concentrated in a ~1 m wide zone at the outer margins of the dyke which grades into a less Si-rich felsite towards the interior. Similarly, a Si-rich granophyre, concentrated in the centre of the intrusion grades outwards into a Si-poor granophyre facies.
These rock relationships and geochemical variations suggest that a complex magma chamber hosted a stratified granitic magma body and various wall/floor magma facies. Low density, high-Si felsite magma from the top of the chamber was tapped first, followed by less Si-rich felsite magma as evacuation proceeded. The granophyres probably originate from the chamber walls/floor, representing more mushy equivalents of the felsite magma. Little granophyre magma was tapped during the early stages of the evacuation sequence. As evacuation continued, probably aided by trap-door caldera collapse, the 'granophyre magmas' intruded the already emplaced and slightly cooled felsite, forming the complexly zoned structure of the Slieve Gullion ring intrusion.
Three small picritic dykes, intruded at a late stage in the evolution of the Rum basic–ultra-basic
complex, Inner Hebrides, shed new light on the nature of the magmas responsible for the main
complex. The magmas are of transitional (mildly alkalic) type, generated by relatively small-fraction
(6–7%) melting of a depleted mantle source. Melting is tentatively deduced to have commenced at
±100 km, straddling the garnet–spinel transition. Of the three samples, one (M9) is remarkable for the
preservation of very primitive characteristics, with olivines of Fo93 containing highly aluminous
spinels; these appear unique within the British Tertiary Volcanic Province. Sr, Nd and Pb isotopes
indicate only minor ([les ]4%) contamination with Precambrian crustal lithologies, reflecting the rapidity
of ascent of the magma batches. The Rum picrites have 187Os/188Os ratios and trace element characteristics
comparable to those of recent picrites from Iceland, suggesting minimal temporal change of
the depleted parts of the Iceland plume over 60 Ma. Movements of the Long Loch Fault may
have been instrumental in causing decompression melting of the spreading Iceland plume-head and
facilitating ascent of the melts to near-surface levels.
The Grønnedal-Íka ring complex (1299 ± 17 Ma) in the Gardar province, South Greenland is composed of a range of layered nepheline syenites which were intruded at a late stage by xenolithic syenite and a plug of carbonatite. The complex was subsequently intruded by a variety of basic dykes, including olivine dolerites, kersantites, vogesites, spessartites, camptonites and an alnöite, and then extensively faulted. The nepheline syenite magmas, produced by fractional crystallisation of basic magmas, show a range in δ13C (−3.86 to −7.57‰) and δ18O (8.27 to 15.12‰), distinctly different to the carbonatites which form a tight group with average δ13C = −4.31 + 0.22 ‰, (1 s.d.) and average δ18O = 7.18 ± 0.41‰ (1 s.d.). Initial 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios (typically 0.703) suggest the syenites and carbonatites have not assimilated crustal rocks, and therefore the C and O isotope variation within each group is a result of isotopic evolution during fractional crystallisation. A suite of lamprophyre dykes (δ13C −3.86 to −7.86‰ and δ18O 9.12 to 10.81‰) form a coherent group whose stable isotope compositions overlap part of the syenite field, and again are distinctly different from the carbonatites. A single alnöite has δ13C = −3.32‰ and δ18O = 12.34‰ C and O isotope ratios are consistent with origins of syenitic and lamprophyric magmas from a similar source. Despite geochemical evidence which suggests a genetic link between nepheline syenites and carbonatites, C and O isotopic evidence shows that they are not related directly by liquid immiscibility. Comparisons are made between similar rock types from Grønnedal-Íka and from the Gardar Igaliko Dyke Swarm. The possible role of F in controlling δ13C and δ18O during crystallisation of calcite from carbonatite magmas is discussed.
We have conducted a seismic reflection test over a short profile on the granite of the Skye Tertiary central intrusive complex. From previous gravity modelling work it had been inferred that the granite is approximately 1.5 km thick and overlies basic rocks. The seismic data indicate that the granite is at least 2 km thick at the test location. Reflection events of alternating polarity between depths of 2.1 and 2.4 km suggest that basic and acidic sheets are interlayered at the base of the granitic mass.
Several small outliers of Tertiary lavas and sediments rest with strong unconformity on a buried landscape eroded from Torridonian sediments and Tertiary granophyre. Erosion continued during the period of sediment and lava accumulation. Four formations are recognized; these are, in order of increasing age, the Orval Formation (hawaiite and basaltic hawaiite lavas), the Guirdil Formation (icelandite lavas, interbedded conglomerates), the Upper Fionchra Formation (tholeiitic basaltic andesite lavas, hyaloclastite deposits, basal conglomerate) and the Lower Fionchra Formation (alkali and transitional basalt, basaltic hawaiite and hawaiite lava flows, basal conglomerate); each is separated by an erosional interval. Clasts in the conglomerates reveal a history of erosion of a terrain exposing gneisses, Torridonian sediments, igneous rocks derived from the Rhum Tertiary Central Complex (including allivalites), and Tertiary lavas of local origin but also including, in the oldest conglomerates, tholeiitic basalts not now preserved on or near Rhum. Prior to and during lava and sediment accumulation, erosion on Rhum had cut down to a level similar to that of the present day, although not to the extent that high-grade thermally altered rocks, which are a marked feature of the Central Complex, were being eroded in any quantity. A sequence of east–west trending valleys, possibly initiated on the line of the earlier Main Ring Fault, drained the area of the Central Complex which then, as now, must have been high ground. Small lakes occasionally formed in the valleys allowing the accumulation of fine-grained sediment with plant remains, and promoting the formation of hyaloclastite deposits when buried by later flows. No source for any of the lava formations is preserved on Rhum; they are thought to have come from feeders north of Rhum, possibly near Canna, and to have ponded against the hills and valleys near and in the Central Complex.
The oldest tholeiitic lavas, not now found in situ, were followed by alkali and transitional flows compositionally similar to the Skye Main Lava Series but characteristically feldsparphyric; the most mafic also contain phenocrysts of magnesian olivine (with included Cr-Al-rich spinels) and aluminous spinel. Both the early alkalic/transitional basalts and the youngest hawaiites and basaltic hawaiites equilibrated at pressures < 9 kb; the tholeiitic basaltic andesites and icelandites equilibrated at relatively shallows depths.
Apart from a few N–S to NW–SE-trending basalt dykes, the lava formations represent the youngest Tertiary igneous event on Rhum.
Early Tertiary igneous activity on Rhum was preceded by doming and the formation of a major arcuate fault system, the Main Ring Fault (MRF), within which Lewisian gneisses, Torridonian sediments and younger rocks were uplifted by as much as 2 km. Doming and uplift are attributed to the diapiric rise of acid magma which ultimately formed the granophyres and felsites of Rhum. Felsite emplacement was accompanied and immediately preceded by the formation of explosion breccias and tuffisites. This phase involves massive gas escape along the MRF fractures; it marked a period of major subsidence within the MRF during which fossiliferous Jurassic sediments and relics of Tertiary lava flows were brought to low structural levels within the MRF. Finally, a further period of uplift, again of about 2 km, took place once more bringing gneisses and basal Torridonian sediments within the MRF to high structural levels. The driving force for this last phase of uplift may have been provided by a further uprise of acid magma or, more realistically, may have been directly connected with emplacement of layered ultrabasic rocks which now form the core of the Rhum centre.
The Myggbukta Complex is a shallowly dissected central volcano superimposed on the early Tertiary Plateau Basalts of NE Greenland. This, and the Kap Broer Ruys centre, 30 km to the east, appear to be the most northerly central complexes of the North Atlantic Tertiary Province. The Myggbukta Complex comprises a suite of extrusions and minor intrusions ranging from picritic basalt to potassic rhyolite: most of the suite appears related by relatively low pressure (< 10 kbar) crystal fractionation. A small rise in initial 87Sr/86Sr (0.70593) with silica content is attributed to minor contamination through crustal anatexis. A basic dyke-swarm associated with the complex, precedes it and shows more limited differentiation. The basalts of the dyke-swarm and the Myggbukta Complex are genetically intimately related to the lavas forming the upper part of the earlier plateau basalt succession (UPLS). It is proposed that a large shield volcano developed some 100 km west of the developing spreading centre (Mohns/Aegir ridge), of which the UPLS, the dyke-swarm and the Myggbukta Complex represent three successive evolutionary stages. A generalized increase in differentiation through time can be recognized from one stage to the next. The acid intrusions of the Kap Broer Ruys area are probably also largely residues of basalt fractionation like their Myggbukta counterparts. However, higher initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.70625–0.71034) imply a greater degree of crustal contamination.
Re-examination of the contact between granophyre and arkose on Minishal, Isle of Rhum, shows it to be a tectonic junction in which the effects of crushing and shearing have been largely obscured by contact alteration.

Workflow Overview
The general Admin workflow for an item is as follows.
Step 1. Item is changed (or created) locally.
Step 2. Once Admin User is satisfied with the change, they "promote" the change to the "Approval Sandbox" where that change can be reviewed by a supervisor before it goes live on the site.
Step 3. An Admin User with approval privilege will then either approve the requested change and schedule it for deployment, or will reject the change and send it back to that change author for more changes.
These general steps are what we call Workflow States
Workflow States
An item, or its fields, is usually is one of four Workflow States.
|Local change state
Change only exist and is seen by the admin who changed it.
|Promoted change state
Change has been promoted and escalated to the Approval Sandbox for all admin users to see. These changes are not "live" on site until an Admin Approver approves and deploys the change.
|Production state
Entity , or field, as it is currently seen "live" on the site.
|Rejected state
Requested change has been rejected by the reviewer.
Workflow State Indicators
The Admin tries to provides visual cues of the current Workflow State that a particular changed item is in. One way it does this is by placing different colored highlighted indicator icons next to the item dependent upon its current Workflow State.
|Local Change Indicatior
|Promoted Change Indicator
|New Created Item Indicator
|Rejected Item Indicator
In addition to these indicator icons, the Sandbox Bar will also display a message to help indicate the current Workflow State of a given item (see Sandbox Bar Messages).
Promote Changes
Once a Admin user is finished making a change, that change can then be "Promoted". Promoted changes are then escalated from the user's local sandbox, to the approval sandbox. User changes can be promoted from either the Sandbox bar (Figure 5), or from the user's My Changes Admin Section (Figure 6).
|Promote from Sandbox Bar
|Promote from My Changes Admin Section
Approve Changes
Once a change has been promoted, it is submitted to a supervisor who can either approve or reject the proposed change. Changes can also be approved from either the Sandbox Bar where the change was made (Figure 7), or from the user's Approvals Admin Section (Figure 8)

Where do you come from? http://wallpapers.in.net/ sexy wallpaper When South Sudan split from Sudan two years ago, it took with it much of the nation's oil wealth. With shrinking oil revenues, al-Bashir is seeking to increase the $2.2 billion worth of gold produced by the mines annually. And his strategy to keep control of the vast region's gold, amid hundreds of thousands of amateurs in a virtual free-for-all, relies on fighters battle-hardened from decades of ethnic and religious war.delete | edit

Three more reviews have just gone up on the Vector website, this time from issue 246.
Mark Morris' Nowhere Near An Angel reviewed by Martin Lewis:
There's another problem, though not one with the book itself. PS Publishing has a remit covering sf, fantasy, horror and crime/suspense; Vector does not. Nowhere Near An Angel is a dark thriller in the vein of Iain Banks' Complicity. In his introduction to the book Stephen Gallagher says "This book isn't, by any obvious definition, a horror novel, but I'd be willing to contend that it's the kind of novel only a born horror writer could have produced." That's debateable but it is certainly true that no definition used by the BSFA would encompass it. Still if a book like A Thread Of Grace by Mary Doria Russell can get reviewed in these pages then there is definitely room for Nowhere Near An Angel.
Ellen Datlow, Kelly Link and Gavin Grant's The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Eighteenth Annual Collection reviewed by me, Geneva Melzack:
The classification of these stories as being fantasy and/or horror could be seen as a narrowness of scope, an attempt to wall fantasy and horror up into the genre ghetto. But again, the diversity of the markets these stories have been taken from belies this argument. Datlow, Link and Grant haven't just looked at fiction published under the banner of fantasy and horror; they've also included stories originally published in mainstream or young adult markets. Indeed, publishing stories such as Chuck Palahniuk's 'Guts' — originally published as mainstream fiction — in a fantasy and horror collection actually adds an extra layer to the story, which provides a new method for appreciating it.
Keith Brooke's Genetopia reviewed by Ben Jeapes:
Genetopia is set in a low-tech world of genetic engineering gone bonkers, and it is convincing precisely because it's so low tech. The simplest effects available to the people of this world are way in advance of anything we can do now, but they are still very hit and miss. You expose people to changing vectors, maybe pray a little, and see what happens.
Author Keith Brooke will be interviewed by Molly Brown at the BSFA meeting next Wednesday 28th June.
More reviews and features to come when international issue 247 comes out.

THE family of a holiday rep killed by a suspected drink driver in Majorca have flown out to the island.
Mum-of-four Denise Marshall, 45, of Ashton, was hit while crossing a road in Alcudia in the early hours of Saturday morning.
She died instantly.
It is understood two of her daughters and a sister arrived at the resort in the north of the island on Monday
A colleague who was also hit, 19-year-old James Perry from Walsall in the West Midlands, died later at the scene.
It is reported that a 28-year-old driver arrested following the collision was found to be three-times the drink-drive limit.
The tragedy happened near the Delfin Azul Hotel, where the pair, who were both employed by Thomson Holidays, had only started working eight days earlier.
Police said visibility was good on the straight stretch of road and it has been reported the pair were "taken unawares" by the car.
A Thomson spokesman said: "We are deeply saddened and we sympathise with the parents and families. The company is like a close-knit community and we know all our reps. We are doing everything we can to help the authorities with their investigation."
British Consular staff are understood to be organising the release of the bodies so the families can bring them home.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm we are aware of the incident."

Are you a Michigan driver paying an extremely high premium for car insurance? The Michigan House is expected to begin considering reforming car insurance to cap catastrophic injury payouts capped at $1 million. This legislative plan is intended to reform Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system.
According to the Lansing State Journal, this could save the average Michigan family $250 a year in insurance costs. It would also require insurance companies to lower premiums by $125 per vehicle for one year.
This topic is receiving a lot of attention and can make a big difference for car insurance companies as well as Michigan drivers. The no-fault auto insurance debate has drawn packed crowds and the bill will now move to the house floor.
While SafeAuto doesn't offer car insurance coverage in Michigan, we will keep you up-to-date on this hot topic!

Shearing Shed
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Wikipedia.
Shearing Shed
a structure equipped for the mechanized shearing of sheep. A distinction is drawn between stationary shearing sheds, to which the sheep are driven for shearing, and mobile sheds, which are transported to the place where the sheep are kept and pastured.
The size of a shearing shed and the type of equipment provided for it depend on the number of animals to be sheared. A stationary shed has separate areas for shearing the sheep and packing the wool. There also are pens for unsheared and sheared sheep. The work areas have electric lighting. A mobile shearing shed situated in the pasture consists of an awning made of local materials (lumber, reed), which protects against the sun and rain. The shearing area, packing area, and animal pens are separated not by walls but by ropes strung on poles. The layout of the equipment is the same as in a stationary shed.

Looking to study the Bible, serve with others, or just get together with others? We have a group for you!
How Happiness Happens
By: Max Lucado
Sundays; 10/20/19-11/24/19; 11:20 – 12:05; in the library
In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author Max Lucado looks at several "one another" statements in the Bible that reveal how the happiest people on earth aren't those who have the most but those who are willing to give the most away. While everyone craves happiness, and everyone benefits from it, the sad reality is that fewer people today are finding it. We have more possessions than ever before, better access to education, and greater advancements in technology and medicine. Yet the majority of us can't find an adequate reason to check the "yes" box on a happiness questionnaire. Our culture tries to convince us there is one way to happiness: aspire, acquire, desire, retire. Happiness depends on what we hang in our closet, park in our garage, and deposit in our bank account. It's a path that always fails to deliver. Instead, Jesus provides a better way: "It is better to give than receive" (Acts 22:35 nkjv). Intentional, altruistic acts of service are the most reliable sources of well-being. It is a principle Jesus lived out in his own life. While he was accused of much, he was never described as being grumpy or perpetually somber. Rather, he said, "I came to give life with joy and abundance" (John 10:10 vce). God wants to bring joy to the people of this generation, and in his Word, he has given us practical and applicable ways to quarry that joy by giving it away. In this study, group members will discover they can be God's representatives to bring about a cascade of kindness. While we cannot solve every problem, we can bring a few smiles to a few faces. In this way, we might even initiate a quiet revolution of joy.
The Redemption of Scrooge
By: Matt Rawle
Sundays; 12/1/19 – 12/22/19; 11:20 – 12:05
For Adults (in the library) and Youth (in the youth room)
Go from "Bah, Humbug!" to a Blessed Advent and Merry Christmas.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a man in dire need of a second chance. Is redemption possible for such a greedy, dark, and sad character? The Redemption of Scrooge, a four week DVD study from Matt Rawle's The Pop in Culture Series, shows us how the teachings of Jesus can be found in Dickens' Christmas classic. From the ghosts of Christmas past, to the Life of the present, and the resurrection of Christmas future, this Advent study will "bless us every one" and reinvigorate our spiritual journeys as we look at this familiar story through the lens of faith.
Down to Earth
By: Mike Slaughter
Tuesdays; 11/19/19, 12/3/19, 12/10/19, 12/17/19; 6pm-7pm (DVD study)
In the Library
When Heaven Comes Down to Earth, Greatness Gets Redefined Nothing in all the vast, created universe could prepare us for God coming down as a helpless infant, or for Jesus the son of God intentionally positioning himself as a mere servant, identifying with the lowest of lows. It's enough to confound the mind, to make the heart contrite. This Advent, God's great surprise changes everything.

What happened to the six players who were dubbed the next Thierry Henry?
There have been few better strikers in the history of football than Thierry Henry.
Many fans still consider the French World Cup winner as the greatest player in Premier League history after his time with Arsenal.
Henry also won a host of major honours during his stint with Barcelona, finally getting his hands on the Champions League trophy in 2009.
Due to his stellar reputation and unique playing style, the French national team and Arsenal have been desperate to find the heir to Henry's throne.
Over the years, six players have received the label and it's safe to say that their footballing journeys have been very rather different.
As such, we'll start with the one man who looks by far the closest to matching Henry's achievements.
Never has a player burst onto the scene with such a similar playing style to Henry - he even made his name at the same club, Monaco.
Electric pace, silky dribbling a wicked right foot, Mbappe is already well on his way to emulating his countryman.
He already has a World Cup trophy to his name and is an established world star at Paris Saint-Germain. If there's going to be an heir to Henry, it's going to be Mbappe.
Another who looks eerily reminiscent to Henry at times while playing for Manchester United.
Back in 2015, Louis Saha said, per Fox Sports: "In France, we call him the next Thierry Henry because he can play left or right, he's got a great ability with the ball, he can take on three, four players with ease, there is no problem."
For now, it looks as if Martial won't be making the positional move to striker, but he's been pretty devastating in 2018/19 as a left-winger.
Arsene Wenger tried his best to turn Walcott from a winger into his main striker - like he did with Henry - but it never really worked.
The Englishman still managed to notch 108 goals for Arsenal, but he could never match the standard and playing style set by his predecessor.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is perhaps the closest thing to Henry in Arsenal's recent history.
At the start of his career, Remy told reporters, per Goal: "The biggest compliment in 10 years would be: 'Remy had a career like Titi Henry.'"
So, has his dream turned into a reality? Absolutely not. Remy enjoyed decent spells with Nice and Marseille, but his career tailed off after a move to the Premier League and QPR in 2013.
His loan spell at Newcastle was okay, but a move to Chelsea in 2014 appeared to do the damage. Remy is now back in France with high-flying Lille, where he's failed to score in seven appearances.
Seen as the heir to Henry in the France squad, Bellion sadly failed to deliver on English soil.
A move to Manchester United in 2003 was supposed to be the catalyst, but he managed just four goals in 24 appearances across his three-year spell.
Bellion enjoyed an okay seven-year spell at Bordeaux, before moving to Red Star in 2014. He retired in 2016 at the age of 34.
When he arrived from Chateauroux in 2007, the French club's vice-president, Patrick Trotignon, said, per Mirror: "He plays as an out-and-out striker like Thierry Henry, but he also can play in midfield."
Sadly, he couldn't match that stellar review of his talent, failing to make a single senior appearance for Arsenal, leaving permanently in 2011.
Since then he's been at Lorient, Evian and Angers, currently residing with BB Erzurumspor.News Now - Sport News

Absolute dates are also relative dates, in that they tell which specimens are older or younger than others. Absolute dates must agree with dates from other relative methods in order to be valid. This dating technique of amino acid racimization was first conducted by Hare and Mitterer inand was popular in the s.
It requires a much smaller sample than radiocarbon dating, and has a longer range, extending up to a few hundred thousand years. It has been used to date coprolites fossilized feces as well as fossil bones and shells.
These types of specimens contain proteins embedded in a network of minerals such as calcium. Amino acid racimization is based on the principle that amino acids except glycine, a very simple amino acid exist in two mirror image forms called stereoisomers. Living organisms with the exception of some microbes synthesize and incorporate only the L-form into proteins. When these organisms die, the L-amino acids are slowly converted into D-amino acids in a process called racimization.
The protons are quickly replaced, but will return to either side of the amino acid, not necessarily to the side from which they came. This may form a D-amino acid instead of an L—amino acid. The rate at which the reaction occurs is different for each amino acid; in addition, it depends upon the moisture, temperatureand pH of the postmortem conditions.
The higher the temperature, the faster the reaction occurs, so the cooler the burial environment, the greater the dating range.

The burial conditions are not always known, however, and can be difficult to estimate. For this reason, and because some of the amino acid racimization dates have disagreed with dates achieved by other methods, the technique is no longer widely used.
Cation-ratio dating is used to date rock surfaces such as stone artifacts and cliff and ground drawings. It can be used to obtain dates that would be unobtainable by more conventional methods such as radiocarbon dating.
Scientists use cation-ratio dating to determine how long rock surfaces have been exposed. They do this by chemically analyzing the varnish that forms on these surfaces. The varnish contains cations, which are positively charged atoms or molecules. Different cations move throughout the environment at different rates, so the ratio of different cations to each other changes over time.
By calibrating these ratios with dates obtained from rocks from a similar microenvironment, a minimum age for the varnish can be determined. This technique can only be applied to rocks from desert areas, where the varnish is most stable. Although cation-ratio dating has been widely used, recent studies suggest it has potential errors.
Many of the dates obtained with this method are inaccurate due to improper chemical analyses. In addition, the varnish may not actually be stable over long periods of time. Thermoluminescence dating is very useful for determining the age of pottery. Electrons from quartz and other minerals in the pottery clay are bumped out of their normal positions ground state when the clay is exposed to radiation.
This radiation may come from radioactive substances such as uranium, present in the clay or burial medium, or from cosmic radiation.
The longer the radiation exposure, the more electrons get bumped into an excited state. With more electrons in an excited state, more light is emitted upon heating.
The process of displacing electrons begins again after the object cools. Scientists can determine how many years have passed since a ceramic was fired by heating it in the laboratory and measuring how much light is given off.
Thermoluminescence dating has the advantage of covering the time interval between radiocarbon and potassium-argon datingor 40,—, years. In addition, it can be used to date materials that cannot be dated with these other two methods.

Optically stimulated luminescence OSL has only been used since It is very similar to thermoluminescence dating, both of which are considered "clock setting" techniques.
Minerals found in sediments are sensitive to light. Electrons found in the sediment grains leave the ground state when exposed to light, called recombination. To determine the age of sediment, scientists expose grains to a known amount of light and compare these grains with the unknown sediment. This technique can be used to determine the age of unheated sediments less thanyears old. A disadvantage to this technique is that in order to get accurate results, the sediment to be tested cannot be exposed to light which would reset the "clock"making sampling difficult.
The absolute dating method utilizing tree ring growth is known as dendrochronology. It is based on the fact that trees produce one growth ring each year. The rings form a distinctive pattern, which is the same for all members in a given species and geographical area. The patterns from trees of different ages including ancient wood are overlapped, forming a master pattern that can be used to date timbers thousands of years old with a resolution of one year.
Timbers can be used to date buildings and archaeological sites. In addition, tree rings are used to date changes in the climate such as sudden cool or dry periods. Dendrochronology has a range of one to 10, years or more. As previously mentioned, radioactive decay refers to the process in which a radioactive form of an element is converted into a decay product at a regular rate.
Radioactive decay dating is not a single method of absolute dating but instead a group of related methods for absolute dating of samples. Potassium-argon dating relies on the fact that when volcanic rocks are heated to extremely high temperatures, they release any argon gas trapped in them. As the rocks cool, argon 40Ar begins to accumulate. Argon is formed in the rocks by the radioactive decay of potassium 40K. The amount of 40Ar formed is proportional to the decay rate half-life of 40K, which is 1.
In other words, it takes 1. This method is generally only applicable to rocks greater than three million years old, although with sensitive instruments, rocks several hundred thousand years old may be dated. The reason such old material is required is that it takes a very long time to accumulate enough 40Ar to be measured accurately. Potassium-argon dating has been used to date volcanic layers above and below fossils and artifacts in east Africa.
Radiocarbon dating is used to date charcoal, wood, and other biological materials. The range of conventional radiocarbon dating is 30,—40, years, but with sensitive instrumentation, this range can be extended to 70, years. Radiocarbon 14C is a radioactive form of the element carbon. It decays spontaneously into nitrogen 14N.
Plants get most of their carbon from the air in the form of carbon dioxideand animals get most of their carbon from plants or from animals that eat plants. Relative to their atmospheric proportions, atoms of 14C and of a non-radioactive form of carbon, 12C, are equally likely to be incorporated into living organisms. When the organism dies, however, its body stops incorporating new carbon.
The ratio will then begin to change as the 14C in the dead organism decays into 14N. The rate at which this process occurs is called the half-life.
This is the time required for half of the 14C to decay into 14N. The half-life of 14C is 5, years. This allows them to determine how much 14C has formed since the death of the organism. One of the most familiar applications of radioactive dating is determining the age of fossilized remains, such as dinosaur bones.
Radioactive dating is also used to authenticate the age of rare archaeological artifacts. Because items such as paper documents and cotton garments are produced from plants, they can be dated using radiocarbon dating. Without radioactive datinga clever forgery might be indistinguishable from a real artifact. There are some limitations, however, to the use of this technique. Samples that were heated or irradiated at some time may yield by radioactive dating an age less than the true age of the object.
Because of this limitation, other dating techniques are often used along with radioactive dating to ensure accuracy.
Uranium series dating techniques rely on the fact that radioactive uranium and thorium isotopes decay into a series of unstable, radioactive "daughter" isotopes; this process continues until a stable non-radioactive lead isotope is formed.

Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Ranger Cookies, with Pecans, Coconut, and Chocolate are delicious for a healthier cookie option!
We're just heading into the time of year when there are cookies and other sweet treats everywhere you look. I doubt many people are religiously dieting during December, but even for those of us who are just trying to limit our consumption of holiday sweets, it can be a challenge. For a few years now I've been experimenting with recipes for low-sugar cookies for the holidays, and this recipe for Ranger Cookies, which comes from The South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook, is one of the most satisfying low sugar cookies I've tried. It's full of flavor from pecans, oatmeal, unsweetened coconut, chocolate chips, and whole wheat pastry flour, and even if you skipped the Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener and used regular sugar, this would still be a pretty healthful and low-sugar cookie.
The book claims the cookies are named for forest rangers who like these cookies for their energy-boosting ingredients, and if you're looking for a barely sweet cookie to get you through December, this might be just the one.

I just saw Amazing Grace, a new British movie about William Wilberforce, the MP and reformer who brought about the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire in 1807—yes, 200 years ago. Wilberforce's portrayal is a little too saint-like for my taste (his laudanum addiction notwithstanding), but what struck me were the moments of epiphany that brought him to activism. At a crossroads between politics and religion, a tireless group of activists, including a former slave whose accounts of slavery became a bestseller, inspire him to campaign in service of his Christian values.
This took me back to my moments of political epiphany.
On gay people, there were several: ooh, gay people exist (age 10); I seem to like them and think they should be free to love (age 12); I had a strange dream about a girlfriend (age 14); my best friend (the guy with the diamante earrings, flowing black shirt and eyeliner) is gay (age 18); I like to be supportive of my best friend by accompanying him to his gay student events (age 19); my best girlfriend who occasionally sleeps naked in my bed had an affair with a woman (age 19 and a half); I seem to have feelings for said girlfriend (age 20); ooh la la (ongoing).
My awakenings around issues of race were inevitably less comfortable. There was first the awareness that black people actually exist in my community and not just on American TV shows (remember, this is 1970s England). I have an intense school photo showing a smiling group of white four-year olds and one black boy, who seems deeply disconnected and isolated from the group; I think he was the only black child in my entire primary school. As a teen I started to be horrified by the things coming out of my parents' and grandparents' mouths—jokes about "running off with a black man" were considered hilarious—and I took pride in my anti-racist moral high ground. This was shattered in college with the patient education of black friends who showed me that one can be anti-racist and yet subtly racist at the same time. Not such a fun lesson.
But a life-changing revelation happened at age 16. I wish I were telling you about a moment inspired by Mandela or Ghandi or Marx, but my personal bolt of lightning came from a b-list actor. The Professionals were Britain's answer to Starsky and Hutch, but, you've guessed it, set in Britain. Bodie and Doyle were tough detectives with questionable hairstyles, and it turned out that actor Martin Shaw (Doyle) was a vegetarian. Somehow I was reading the newsletter of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, which interviewed Shaw about his convictions. I remember him saying that the only justification for eating meat was his palate, and that simply wasn't enough. He was right.
And sitting in my bed at 10 o'clock at night I realized I should be a vegetarian. My Mum came to say good night and I told her about my decision. She said it was fine provided I cooked all my own meals. She was waiting for me to crack, but the wonderful thing about being 16 and crystal clear about your convictions is that nothing can stand in your way.
I would like to say that no meat has crossed my lips since, but accidental carnivorism is rife. There is no end to the dishes in restaurants that have no hint of meat in the description, but surprise you with, for example, a topping of crabmeat on spinach and artichoke dip! Or there's the random chicken nugget that has fallen unsuspectingly among battered vegetables. I lived in France for a while, which is no place for the faint-hearted veggie. Meat is a word used to describe steak whereas little pieces of chopped ham are considered practically vegan. I voluntarily chose to break my diet in recent years to eat an oyster—I'm too much of a hedonist to want to die without trying this mythical food. For the record, I kind of liked it, but felt guilty. I don't anticipate any future animal consumption.
One of the big challenges of being a vegetarian is the sheer boredom of having to talk about it after 24 years (yes, I know I'm writing a blog). Meat-eaters are so challenged by my silent abstention that they question me endlessly and drone on about the time they went vegetarian for a whole weekend, but enjoy pork chops too much to change. At this point, I'm so bored I don't care. I don't care if you fill your body with decomposing flesh. I don't care if you don't like tofu. I don't care if you think I'm a hypocrite on some level. Just please, please don't make me talk about this again.
Beyond the conversation, there are the endless vegetarian jokes, most of them from my Dad. I prefer the jokes to the conversation because they're just daft and, after 24 years, the repetition is so absurd that it's funny. And in case you're wondering, they're usually as simple as asking me if I want a steak. Yep, it's all in the delivery and the timing.
Becoming a vegetarian was deeply empowering at 16. It's such a rush to be fired up about a political issue and to feel like you can do something. And no doubt, as a teenage girl living with a controlling mother in a post-divorce household, this was a way of taking control of my body and my identity. And best of all, I can look a cow in the face and know we're friends. (Just don't let her see my shoes.)

Actor Priyanka Chopra found herself dragged into a controversy while addressing an audience at the Beautycon Los Angeles, when a Pakistani woman yelled at her for her Jai Hind tweet, last March. After the episode, which was widely reported, the woman in question, Ayesha Malik, has tweeted further on the incident.
Identifying herself, she said: "Hi, I'm the girl that "yelled" at Priyanka Chopra. It was hard listening to her say, "we should be neighbors and love each other" — swing that advice over to your PM. Both India and Pakistan were in danger. And instead she tweeted out in favor for nuclear war."
She went on to say: "It took me back to when I couldn't reach my family because of the blackouts and how scared/helpless I was. She gaslit me and turned the narrative around on me being the "bad guy" — as a UN ambassador this was so irresponsible."She went to share video clips of her interaction with Priyanka.
Sharing the first clip, she wrote: "Priyanka Chopra tweeted during a time when we were this x (she used an emoji implying how close we came to war) close to sending nukes to one another. Instead of advocating for peace she tweeted in support of the Indian army."Putting out the second video, she wrote: "Whenever you're don't venting".
Sorry, didn't realize that speaking on a humanitarian crisis was "venting"."During the Beautycon event, Ayesha was seen heckling Priyanka by calling her stand "hypocritical" and adding, "As a Goodwill Ambassador, you are encouraging nuclear war against Pakistan. People like me have supported you in your business."
She was referring to Priyanka's tweet praising Indian Air Force after the February 2019 strike against a terrorist camp in Balakot, Pakistan.Priyanka kept her composure and reacted to her saying, "War is not something I'm really fond of but I am patriotic, so I'm sorry if I hurt sentiments to people who do love me and have loved me."
She continued, "But I think that all of us have a, sort of, middle ground that we all have to walk. Just like you probably do as well. The way that you came at me right now... girl, don't yell. We're all here for love."
As the video went viral, Priyanka was praised by many for her 'gracious' response while others termed her a 'hypocrite' for refusing to answer the question.
The actor will soon begin promoting her film, The Sky Is Pink. The film stars Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim as well and has been directed by Shonali Bose.
