United States Court of Apathy,
Infinite Circuit, 2018.
630 W.3s 708.
FACTS She was a minor, an unwanted black kitten he cornered with the kitchen broom, witch-like in his evil, his throat an upside-down mockingbird learning how to mew groom, groom, groom. When the sirens flew closer, rabid bats in the night-red sky, she shed into the role of scarecrow and protected him, then watered her diseased crops when the cops left satisfied. She was the guardian statue cracking down the right cheek to the base beneath her sandaled feet. He leaned on her to tie his shoes. Brushed straw off his sleeve. Walked away free.
ISSUE Does the Court of Apathy, Infinite Circuit, believe her account of the assault? Does the evidence presented to the degreed pack of dogs–audio clips, slick, slippery, smug confession, two witnesses, a non-apology apology from the mouth of the incriminated, his remorse only that he got caught, the other women and children who came forward–meet the needs in the rule of law to serve justice on a dish served cold?
DECISION No. The Court of Apathy for the Infinite Circuit reversed the decision of the lowly survivor.
REASON The family wishes to shelter their precious mockingbird from a cage. He's gone on to sing new, beautiful songs, sometimes all night long. She is a scarecrow. The wind will loose her felt hat in the cold of winter, but she will smile at the breaking sun. The statute of limitations has run out.

NAPLES — Boundary County residents have a sense of community that far surpasses many other areas. People wave at friends and strangers alike as they drive down the road; motorists are not often left stranded on the side of a road for long before someone stops to help; people help their neighbors shovel snow or chop firewood.
The situation that Makana Zito Hashimoto, known to his friends as Kana, found himself in, was a tough one — and the community stepped up to help.
Hashimoto was diagnosed at an early age with autism and is now 25 years old. He was raised by his grandmother, living a semi-independent life with her. Tragically, a series of events unfolded at the end of 2018, and he lost his grandmother first to cardiac problems. Then his aunt, who was in line to take care of him, took her own life.
Hashimoto was suddenly alone.
"Kana was my next door neighbor. The call came in when the aunt committed suicide and I knew the family well," said South Boundary Fire Chief Tony Rohrwasser. "The grandmother employed a lot of people around the area. She was a real nice, nice lady."
Rohrwasser was first on scene that night.
"At that point nobody really had a definite plan of what do we do with an adult that can't look after himself," he said. "I know from seeing the house that he pretty much does his own thing, but I didn't know how much he could take care of himself."
Rohrwasser took action and reached out to Candy Beck, who runs Bonners Ferry Adult Social that works with adults with developmental disabilities.
"The day after Christmas the officers brought him to my house," said Beck. "Instantly his life changed. He lost his family, his natural support."
Although Hashimoto had great care there, he was used to living a semi-independent life, and living among a group of people was difficult for him to adapt to. People stepped up to help him. Aspen Personal Care has a hand in watching over him, while Rohrwasser also takes time to take him shopping for food and checking in on him while he is at home.
"From those of us who have been working with him, we feel that he would do well by himself, or would do just as well with another person in a home, but in a group home he just wouldn't do well," said Rohrwasser. "He has been subject to a lot of new stuff in the last little while."
While the eventual goal is to find a house for him to live, the plan relies on selling his grandmother's house, and currently it is stuck in probate, leaving him without many options. Hashimoto must move out of the house so it can be cleaned and sold.
"The estate isn't settled. We are still going through probate and meeting with the attorneys and the crisis team from Coeur d'Alene," said Beck. "He has got a lot of support but at this point it is not looking like he's going to be able to hang onto the home."
Rohrwasser took action and the South Boundary Firefighters Association, with help from the Helping Hands of Naples, threw a spaghetti feed fundraiser on Saturday, March 9, at the South Boundary Fire Station No. 1 in Naples.
People were treated to a full spaghetti meal with a large array of desserts, all for a donation of their choice. People even showed up before the dinner began to drop off donations to help Hashimoto.
When the dinner ended, $3,200 had been raised to help Hashimoto find an apartment for a few months. Beck explained that it will be very important to find him a place to stay in Boundary County.
"With an adult affected with autism, everything is very ritualized and a transition is very difficult," said Beck. "He wants to remain in his town, and that is what we are doing — we are supporting our community and our people within our community, and we are going to make it happen for him."
The community proved again that they are their to reach out a hand to those that need it.
"There is a lot of people who want to continue to support him even after we get him established in a home, which is wonderful," said Beck.
If you have any questions or would like to assist, please contact Tony Rohrwasser at 208-290-2613.

Give your palate a punch.
Expertly crafted by a stubborn chef, Red Clay Hot Sauce reveres quality ingredients, balanced flavors and time-honored, handcrafted techniques. Meant to enhance a dish, not mask it, we like it on oysters, fried chicken and family recipes.
Serve the South.
The story begins not in a kitchen, but in the red clay fields of Georgia, where Chef Geoff Rhyne spent his childhood getting dirty and exploring farms alongside Granddaddy Jack and Grandma Mary. What took root was a reverence for tradition, hard work and fresh foods.
Make Authentic Accessible
As an adult, Geoff took a winding route through the most esteemed kitchens of America, always advocating for whole and slow foods and finding ways to meld tradition with innovation. (And he was doing all of this before it was hip, we swear.)
In an experimental flavor spree while working on a new oyster dish in Charleston, SC, Geoff hit on what would become his signature sauce – a Fresno blend that changed the oysters without stealing the spotlight. The sauce became so beloved by patrons that they would steal it straight off the plate and tuck it in their bag.
So Geoff did two things:
Had a lot of weird conversations about how People Who Didn't Like Hot Sauce were suddenly becoming People Who Are Inexplicably Into This Whole Hot Sauce Thing.
Started working on a way to bottle it for the folks who wanted his signature Fresno blend on about a hundred other kinds of food. And who could blame them?
Something to Savor
Today Red Clay Hot Sauce represents something bigger than a dash of heat – it's family and joy, and it's fun. For Geoff and for you.
Every batch of Red Clay Hot Sauce is handcrafted in a tiny South Carolina town, using just a few ingredients, all of which come from farmers in neighboring states. Geoff is still a chef, but now you can keep a bit of his genius on hand for your own forays in the kitchen.

Ear Candling
Ear Candling is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations.
Thermo Auricular Therapy is an effective, pleasant and non-invasive method of treatment to help relieve ear, nose and throat conditions. The candles act like a chimney, drawing away the vapour and any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. The vibration of the rising air column serves to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion in the sinuses. This will regulate pressure – which has a soothing action – and together with the warmth, will strengthen the immune system. Important acupuncture points and reflex zones can be stimulated.
Thermo Auricular Therapy can be helpful with the following conditions:
• Excessive ear wax
• Migraine
• Colds, flu and sinusitis
• Snoring
• Stress reduction
• Noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus

From this coming Sunday until mid-November, we celebrate standard Sundays, on which we gather, hear the word from the Bible, share the meal, and are sent out to be Christ's people in the world. Even without special festivals, these Sundays are gifts to us that support and strengthen our spirituality. Every Sunday is our greatest feast, with its gathering of the baptized around the risen Christ for word and meal. This Sunday's gospel reading considers what Christians mean by "sabbath."

I have noticed a lull in communication and internal entrapment with a side order of resentment coming up a lot for people lately. It's easy to feel this way, especially when you're feeling trapped, not only in your mind but in your physical space – particularly here in Philly with the snow that kept us curled up in doors. So how can you release feelings of resentment and entrapment in your body and free yourself?
The other day I messed up what I was trying to say and ended up creating a new word: 'gladitude'. The word made perfect sense to me at the time and hit home quite a bit, particularly around the theme of letting go of resentment. If you're able to take a look and see all the things in your life that you're grateful for and be glad that they are there, your mental walls will automatically be expanded and the resentment will loosen its grip on you.
A client of mine shared that she was feeling very defensive every time someone talked to her about her profession. What people were expressing to her was that she is lucky to be in the profession that she is in, especially only having to go in to work 3 days week. Her responsive was a frustrated outburst that she works 10 hour days and works 7 days a week, even if she is not going into work every day she is working ALL THE TIME. Her response was from a place of defensiveness. She holds this belief that she 'should' be getting more work done. For her, that belief that she should be getting more work done was like a thorn in her finger. Every day she plays with the thorn thinking that she should be working rather than watching Netflix for example. By now, playing with this thorn every day, it is bound to be infected. So when somebody else 'insinuates' that she is not doing enough work, it feels like somebody is squeezing and irritating the thorn. Even if the other person didn't mean anything by their comment, she got upset because she had been irritated by this thorn for years. Then somebody else just came along and irritated the wound even more. Why didn't she just take the thorn out?
The thorn represents a belief about yourself. When you become conscious of this belief (usually limiting), you can pluck the thorn out and shift this belief about yourself. Thanking the thorn for the time it served and saying 'I am done with you' and getting to a place of 'gladitude' can be liberating. In a space of 'glatitude' my client might respond that her job is great and she is happy to work from home and watch Netflix once in a while. Coming from this space of excitement and 'gladitude' is a thornless way of being.
What I did with my client is that every time a thought came up where she was tempted to play with the thorn instead of picking it out, she would change her 'I should statement to 'I would like to…' statement. For example, rather than saying 'I should be doing more…', 'I should be going to a networking event or working out more', change it up to – 'I would like to do more', I would like to go to a networking event or work out more'. Try it! You will feel lighter because saying 'I would like to… [Fill in the blank] takes a whole lot of pressure off of you and gives you space to feel 'gladitude', releasing the cloud of resentment or irritation.
Have you caught the resentment bug recently? If you feel defensive and uncomfortable more times than not, it's time to book a complimentary session with me. During the session, we'll talk about where you're at, where you're going and what's getting in your way (those darn thorns).

Spring has just arrived, yet allergy season is already in full swing. And with this allergy season already predicted to be the worst ever in Florida, it's important to take every measure possible to protect your family's health. The quality of your home's air is no exception, and you might be surprised to learn that its flooring plays a role in this.
Carpet Flooring and Allergies
Contrary to popular belief, those suffering from asthma or sensitivity to allergens don't actually need to avoid carpet flooring. In fact, according to a study conducted by The Airmid Healthgroup, properly maintained carpets can actually help serve as an air filter for your home (more on that later). Of course, proper periodic removal of these materials is necessary to
While vacuuming may not be enough to remove all allergens, doing so regularly can help prolong the need for professional cleaning. Vacuums featuring HEPA filters are recommended, as they'll prevent particles from reentering the air while cleaning. So make it a point to vacuum your carpet once per week.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
Eventually, carpet will need to be professionally cleaned. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to tell from the surface, but most manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 18 months. However, those who are particularly susceptible to allergies – or whose homes receive unusually high indoor-outdoor traffic – However, not all professional floor cleaners are the same; many still rely on outdated techniques that are not as effective in removing dirt, allergens and even mold. Worse yet, it can be difficult to tell whether the services of a carpet cleaner actually removed harmful particles since most of them eliminate odors with perfumes (which, in themselves, can prove detrimental to sensitive people).
Fortunately, the industry offers a fairly easy way to vet carpet cleaners: the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) certification. You can learn more about the certification and proper cleaning techniques here: https://classiccarpetspcb.com/floor-cleaning/
Allergies and Vinyl Flooring
A few years back, Johnsonite made industry headlines after receiving the Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification from Allergy Standards Limited for a line of its vinyl flooring. Manufacturers took note, and now, many lines of vinyl flooring have been carefully engineered to help reduce in-home allergies. How, exactly? One of the most important aspects is floor cleaning: it must limit the number of allergens expelled during normal cleaning procedures. The same is true during installation; airborne particles that could prove detrimental to allergy sufferers (and humans in general) must also be reduced. And, of course, the retention of allergens must also be kept to a minimum or eliminated.
Expert Advice
We know how miserable allergies can be and the importance of finding relief in any possible form.

This past weekend blogger and illustrator Garance Doré had an Open Studio while introducing her new stationary line in collaboration with Rifle Paper and I loved just about everything! Not only because I'm obsessed with everything stationary but because each piece is carefully made and illustrated with Garance's artistic work. Of course I had to get a couple of notebooks and she was kind enough to write a sweet note in one of them.

Sign up for Jessica's Paranormal Romance Newsletter and be the first to know all of the news about Jessica's newest paranormal series. As a special gift of thanks, you'll get a free copy of Sucking in San Francisco!
Working at a Suicide Prevention Center in San Francisco, Lily Goodwill thinks she's heard it all—then she gets a call from a man about to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. Something about the caller, maybe his yummy British accent or Lily's ability to understand his crushing ennui, makes her break all the rules and rush to save him.
Her caller glows with blue fire and turns out to be a vampire-hating Djinn. Is Lily really a vampire with a conscience and an obsessive-compulsive disorder, involving Handi-wipes and Lysol, or is she just another bloodsucker? He decides to put off his jump until he finds out.
Add in another vampire, with a history of female lovers stretching over three centuries, who swears he's reformed and declares his undying love for Lily. Stir in a mean pair of witches and a vicious warlock, who are staking vampires around the city and you have a recipe for riotous adventure of supernatural proportions.
Vampire, Lily Goodwill, has coupled up and her BFF, Hannah, is feeling alone and lonely. One night on a stroll through her favorite graveyard she is befriended by a small growling fur ball. The puppy refuses to leave and reluctantly she takes him in. She soon needs expert advice because the puppy won't eat any of the expensive dog food she buys and burps fire and is growing by the hour.
Hannah consults her vampire friends and a friendly Djinn and finds out she's gotten herself a Hell Hound. And more, the jinni warns, there is sure to be an owner somewhere. When a gorgeous demon shows up pounding on her door wanting his dog back, Hannah is suddenly in the middle of a humorous predicament. This is the second episode of the San Francisco Vampires.,
Lily Goodwill, the vamp with a heart of gold, gets a disturbing call on the Suicide Prevention Hotline. A hysterical caller is convinced a werewolf is breaking into his house. Lily dispatches the appropriate services, convinced that "someone is off their meds." Oh, that it were true.
Soon enough, Lily is fighting for her life against a hairy beastie. She is supported by her almost-fiancé, the brooding French vampire, Sebastian, who adores the ground she walks on, and Aidan, the 5,000 year-old vampire-hunting jinni, who scarfs energy for breakfast and believes he's waited his entire existence—for Lily.
Her best friends and housemates - vampires, a demon, and a hell hound—rally to her aid— as the odds stack up against her. A conniving vampire Queen, a witch bent on seduction, and a determined assassin with a contract on Lily's undead life round out a season in the City by the Bay.
What do you wear to a Holiday dinner party in Hell, with your in-laws? When the Vampire Hannah falls in love with Diel, a hot Demon, things warm up in more ways than one. Her Life-mate's parents, insist on meeting Hannah, so it's off to Hell they're bound.
First Lily, Hannah's BFF and a fashionista, takes the Goth girl in hand. Who knew she had legs? Everyone is stunned and ambiguous about the new look—a designer babe, Ganja Girl. Of course, you can't go to Hell for the Holidays without your Hell Hound and you probably need to bring a devastatingly handsome Djinn friend, to get your back, just in case the in-laws aren't as friendly as they claim to be.
Hannah's new duds aren't the only surprises in store in this humorous but exciting, paranormal Christmas tale.
The vampire Lily Goodwill is in trouble. She's been fired from her job at the Suicide Prevention Call Center. She's drinking, doing brimstone, and doesn't care what happens. Sebastian St. John is dying on the inside. He's watching Lily fall apart and she won't let him in. He's aching to help. He must work slowly to win her back. If only he can keep a certain Demon out of her life.
Hannah is pregnant, and happy beyond her wildest dreams. But all is not hearts and baby booties. When Hannah is forced into bed rest, in Hell, her bestie, Lily joins her.
Manipulating in-laws and pregnancy complications begin as Hannah's due date looms in the not-so-distant future. Her pregnancy causes chaos for her in-laws, jealous demons, and a fire-barking Hell Hound.
But there is a surprise in store for Hannah and Diel. Only a djinn, vampires and werevamps can come to the rescue and ring in the joyous birth of Hannah's and Diel's baby.
Manda is still lost. Things are pointing to a vampire trafficking ring. Aidan, the djinn, is depressed and desperate wearing himself ragged looking for traces of his girlfriend. Ganga Girl and our Vamp Lily are hot on the trail, while Sebastian is trying to keep Lily safe from the wiles of the Italian Vampire King, Basilio.

SALFORD sport lecturer Juan Jasso has been 'showered with love' after an alleged racist attack on a tram in Manchester.
SALFORD sport lecturer Juan Jasso has been 'showered with love' after an alleged racist attack on a tram in Manchester.
The associate lecturer has received hundreds of messages of support and praise from around the world for his cool handling of alleged abuse for his Latin looks
He is in fact American and has lived in the UK for the past 18 years.
Juan, who is completing his Masters (Res) at the University and teaches coaching and exercise physiology, asked three passengers to mind their language on a busy carriage where he says children were present.
Despite a reported barrage of abuse, the father-of-one kept his cool and diffused the situation much to the admiration of onlookers, one of whom posted a video online which has gone viral.
He has now hit the headlines internationally after a wave of messages of support from strangers – saying he will reply to every single one!
He told the Manchester Evening News he made a habit of challenging people in public and had approached people before for littering or using bad language.
Juan who is originally from Texas, said: "It has been ridiculous the amount of support and messages coming through on social media.
Why I live here
"I really appreciate it – it's one of the reasons why I like this country – it's why I live here."
The former personal trainer and US soldier is also a rugby league coach.
On Twitter, Tony Fretwell wrote: 'Just want to add my support to @jasso28uk today. Part of the #rlfamily We all stand as one against prejudice. Proud of your restraint'
Jamie Ross tweeted: '@gunnerpunner @northbanklower @jasso28uk handled himself well on the team. Rest assured not all us Brits are as narrow minded mate.'
And Cheryl Latham tweeted: 'Lots of love goes out to this guy @jasso28uk for taking a stand today in Manchester. Country is unrecognisable right now #channel4news

Francois Leguat Giant Tortoise and Cave Reserve Pt. 1/
Anse Quitor, Ile Rodrigues
There was nothing in our 2006 version guide book about a tortoise reserve on Rodrigues, but other cruisers had mentioned visiting so we inquired about it at the Visitor Center. The Francois Leguat Giant Tortoise and Cave Reserve was open daily and located on the southwest end of the island and, yes, a bus went nearby (maybe a little walk). We checked at the bus station, confirmed departure times and made plans for an early morning departure. The buses here are similar to those in most third world countries. They're old, rough-running, brightly colored and have endearing names like Lover's Choice, Prince and New Roshni Princess. We reconfirmed we were on the right bus and sat back for a cross-island adventure.
We asked the money collector fellow to let us know when to get off the bus. He was very pleasant and accommodating as he collected our 31 Rps each (about a $1) for what turned out to be a 1:05 hr ride.
The narrow paved road out of Port Mathurin was all up. A series of switchbacks had the bus chugging loudly and laboriously up above the port. The views of the sea below, even from our bus window, were beautiful.
Bus stops were frequent and it took significant effort for the little bus to get moving again up the steep incline. We stopped in several little towns … Mont Lubin, Petit Gabriel, La Ferme, La Fouche. It was a school day and all the kids were in uniforms getting to school.
After about 45 minutes, I glanced at him inquiringly and he nodded "Just a little longer." Finally, we saw a sign for the Reserve, the bus stopped and the conductor motioned us to get off and pointed towards a rather narrow road up a hill. "It's about a 20-25 minute walk", he said.
We walked … and walked … and walked … up hills, down hills, around corners, up more hills. We were walking at a reasonable clip and after 25 minutes, we kind of expected the Reserve to be right around the corner. It wasn't. We saw another sign … at least we were heading in the right direction. One thing about walking, you get to see lots of things you'd miss if you were whizzing by in a car. We saw small houses and lots of goats and cows. The earth is bright red and there were lots of flowers and a few gardens along the way. The land was rocky and not very arable. Some industrious folks had terraced the land to make it as useful as possible.
PVC water pipes lay along side the road like black snakes, sometimes crossing above the road to get to the desired destination. We met a few people walking along and they all smiled and wished us a "bonjour" as they passed. One remarkable sight was the number of gigantic spiders in huge webs between utility wires and tree branches. Not just one spider, mind you, but we counted as many as 17 in one massive web. I learned later that these are red-legged golden orb-web spiders (Nephila inaurata), native to several Indian Ocean islands. They're non-poisonous, but even birds and bats get caught in their huge, strong, sticky webs. Evidently, they normally string several webs together to form enormous "homes" in order to cover as much surface area as possible. Great to know, so I can avoid them at all costs.
About 45 minutes into our "little" walk, we saw another sign announcing 500m to the Reserve. The entrance road was dirt … uneven, rough and rutted. Volcanic rock poked up in the fields alongside the road, but up ahead, it looked like maybe we had arrived.
We pay our entrance fee of $295Rps ($10US) and looked for a place to relax for a few minutes. There was a guided tour leaving immediately. We begged off in favor of a cup of coffee in the pleasant little outdoor resto (restaurant) and booked ourselves on the next tour. In the meantime, we sipped our Nescafes and watched our little piece of the the world go by. As we sipped our coffee, a very unexpected turkey hen gobbled by a few feet from us, with her brood close by. You just never know what to expect.
We were invited to visit the little museum while we waited. No one else was around and it was dark when we entered. Motion sensing lights popped on as we moved from one small room to the next. One room was dedicated to the discovery of the island and its volcanic origins. Displays of early maps decorated the walls. A larger room displayed the flora and fauna of the island and was quite interesting.
The island was teeming with native wildlife when the Europeans first arrived. Tortoises by the thousands roamed the land. Birdlife was plentiful including the"solitaire" (like a dodo bird), but all were traded or eaten to extinction in a period of of about 50 years. Now only one fruit bat species is all that remains of endemic mammals. There are only two endemic bird species still around and they are considered endangered.

"Let the sea live. Let us live with the sea." This is one of my own favorite sayings that I prefer to use at lectures and at other meetings. "Let the sea live" includes two meanings: One is not to kill the sea. Ocean environments should be preserved, not destroyed. The other meaning advises us to use the sea appropriately. Through the combination of these two, we can follow a course of supporting a wealth of marine life while maintaining sea environments in good condition to the greatest extent possible. We can accept gifts from the sea with gratitude that we can show by providing measures for artificially improving its production even a little. As a result, human beings can exist and co-exist "to live with the sea". One who searches for the meaning of life in "living with the sea" will find life with the sea. We human beings, depending heavily on the sea for our food, are obliged to use the ocean, which covers about 75% of Earth's surface, actively and subjectively to continue to live on Earth. However, the sea is not so generous that it permits unlimited development. As long as human beings harmonize with the nature to survive, "Let the sea live. Let us live with the sea." should be rephrased correctly as "We are sustained by the sea". In this sense, such a sense of humility that "we are allowed to use the sea" should be embedded in the education of young people. In this case, the most important task is that educators be free from the development-first doctrine with growth as the overriding principle, which was taught when we were young.
It is considered that human beings selected a new lifestyle of agriculture and stock breeding about 10,000 years ago. Human populations grew steadily thereafter. Later, triggered by the Industrial Revolution, humans departed from a terrestrial life framework. One aspect of this departure is that the ecological system of nature includes a material circulating system that is complete, whereas human economical activity has no such system. Our "affluent" society is based on "effluence" technology.
Various phenomena such as ozone layer destruction, global warming, and acid rain, as well as ocean pollution, which now pose global problems, were created artificially because the technologies that created them put settlement of these resolutions on the shoulders of the natural world. None of us can escape from these global scale abnormal phenomena. The atmosphere and seawater surrounding Earth are continuous. Consideration of that fact directly implies that no place on the entire Earth has been reserved as hallowed ground.
Human society has arrogantly embraced the belief that people are almost entirely free from the environment: that they can conquer environments anywhere and anytime. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that when environments change suddenly, even humans, with their adaptive capability, cannot cope with changes. There is no outcome but ruin. One readily apparent fact is that a healthy Earth has environments that still guarantee evolution and adaptation of living things including human beings. More correctly, it indicates an ocean planet. The term ocean planet derives from the fact that no planet exists other than Earth where as much as 75% of its surface area is covered by water. I consider that the real practice of "Let the sea live. Let us live with the sea." points the course to maintaining this planet Earth as a healthy environment for all.
If we recognize the undeniable fact that primitive life born in the sea evolved into the present appearance of human beings, then it might be considered that a clue to resolving the question of how we should live on Earth can be found in the sea itself. As long as we are living things being kept alive in the linkage with the natural world including the sea, we should know much about the sea and others. This is the most important condition for "Let the sea live. Let us live with the sea." Conclusively, construction and practice of a "Global-environmentally friendly aquaculture system" is nothing more or less than "Let the sea live. Let us live with the sea."
(December, 2013)
In the past, several reports have described oyster herpesvirus infections in the American oyster (Crassostrea virginica), the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), the Angasi oyster (O. angasi), and the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum).
Consequently, such infections have not always remained limited to Japanese oysters (C. gigas) cultured in France. In fact, oyster herpesvirus has arisen as an important current topic in oyster research and industry circles because this virus is suspected as an agent causing high mortality of C. gigas larvae and 3-12 month juveniles cultured in different locations in France during each summer since 1991. This virus has been designated as oyster herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1), but it might be said that there has been no positive recognition that this virus is the main causative agent of the C. gigas mass mortality observed in France.
During the summer of 2008, high mortalities of 40-100%, primarily affecting spat and juveniles (12-18 mo old), were observed in all major C. gigas culture areas of France, except in one area at Arcachon in the southwest. According to France's main marine research institute, Ifremer, the oysters were particularly well fed and spent a lot of energy developing their sexual organs to the detriment of their natural reserves, leaving them vulnerable to OsHV-1. However, scientists do not know why Arcachon oysters have been spared exceptionally.
Regarding the "Summer mortality" in 2008 mentioned above, which shook the French oyster industry, Ifremer scientists characterized the presence of a genotype of OsHV-1 that was not already reported. They designated it as OsHV-1 μVar. This new genomic variant was detected only in C. gigas and was identified as a most probable cause of the summer mortality, suggesting that its virulence is specific for C. gigas. The current outbreak of C. gigas mortality was initially limited to France. However, this species began dying in Ireland in 2009 and in England in 2010. All affected areas had received oyster seed from France. In fact, OsHV-1 μVar was identified in at least in 40% of collected spat batches in 2008 and in 100% of samples in 2009. Ultimately, the culture of C. gigas in France received a crushing blow in 2010.
At least the infection's expansion to England might have been avoided at least if the research result of Ifremer had been used effectively. Unfortunately, it was not avoided. It is said that the trial of tightening controls over the imports of oyster seed by England was not carried out because of the strong protest of France that such a trial constituted unfair interference in legal business transactions between these two countries. It is arrogance to make a profit simply at the expense of another country. The headquarters of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) is located in Paris; nevertheless, OsHV-1 μVar has not been listed as a mollusc disease by OIE, meaning that it is not an issue of concern in the oyster trade. The international trade of oysters infected with it would be prevented if the name of this virulent virus were on the OIE list.
A more severe problem is that the OsHV-1 μVar infection associated with C. gigas summer mortality has now spread throughout Europe to the Southern Hemisphere. This new variant was detected in moribund oysters collected from the North Island, New Zealand during November-December (early summer) 2010, and what is worse, also from Southeast, Australia in January (mid-summer) 2011. For the present, affected areas are localized. However, it is noteworthy that the oyster mortality rate is very high and that the damage extends to C. gigas of market size as well as juveniles. Marketable oysters produced in Australia are widely exported to Asia. Many live and fresh C. gigas imported from Australia arrive at oyster bars and restaurants in various parts of Japan. Until they are brought into these places after their importation, they are often stocked in tanks at the seaside. What do these facts suggest? The probable expansion of OsHV-1 μVar.
The C. gigas that are threatened at present are descendants of oyster seeds exported from Miyagi Prefecture, Japan to France in large quantities. Therefore, brand-new research themes have been presented for oyster researchers. One such theme is related to the susceptibility of C. gigas that are currently cultured in Japan to OsHV-1 μVar, which has emerged in France, where its original seed was first transplanted from Japan.
To protect the oyster industry in Japan from devastating mortality caused by OsHV-1 μVar necessitates preventive measures against its invasion into Japan. I strongly urge and expect that the responsible authorities such as the Fisheries Agency of Japan will begin to take necessary actions to stop its invasion as soon as possible.

The earth is maintained with environmental conditions that allow reproduction of life through birth, and through continuous development, evolution, and diversification. Those conditions are the most important feature of our Earth, distinguishing it from all other planets. The number of species that have ever existed on the earth is estimated as approximately 500 million. The number of the species of organisms that presently exist is presumed to be approximately 15 million. Accordingly, presently existent species are only approximately 3% of the total number of species that have emerged on the earth up to the present. The salient implication is that almost all species on earth have become extinct, and that the present species signify the few winners that have been able to survive throughout their long evolutionary history. Consequently, the organisms that we encounter on the earth at present are valuable global assets: they are objects to be protected with utmost care. Nevertheless, humankind cannot help but use these organisms as food to support life. Considering that the origin of their evolution is the same as that of human beings, that situation is natural.
If the earth were environmentally healthy, reproduction, evolution, adaptation and other important processes which constitute the basic properties of all existing organisms would remain secure. Humans, however, despite their appearance only millions of years ago, and especially since the Industrial Revolution, have moved beyond the limits of an earth-based existence and have plundered nature, including edible organisms, on a global scale without any consideration, thereby destroying earth's healthy systems. Continuation of the situation will render the ecosystem globally unstable at some future date. Consequently, basic properties and processes of organisms will be endangered, and humans will be smothered out as a result. To prevent that situation, humans should heed the "warnings from the earth" that are given through edible organisms which human beings can contact routinely and observe deeply. Moreover, humans should acquire appropriate wisdom corresponding to those warnings.
To select appropriate edible organisms, it is important to consider the tendencies of their organic evolution, which are roughly divided into improvement and divergence. "Independence" is one general tendency related to that improvement in particular: organisms decrease the degree to which they are influenced by the environment through their evolution, simultaneously, they increase control of their environment. Especially, for organisms with a high level of evolution, the degree of their influence by environmental changes decreases according to the progress of their evolution. Accordingly, few opportunities exist for organisms at a high level to signal environmental deterioration attributable to humans. In other words, when humans use only those organisms that are phylogenetically close relations, humans probably take little notice of the overall deterioration of the global environment. In fact, evolutionarily low-level organisms are more sensitive to environmental changes. They can easily give signals to humans of "warnings from the earth" in their role as suitable edible organisms. Nevertheless, there is a barrier of food preference rooted in traditional food culture. Consequently, it is also necessary to gain knowledge and enlighten the public about building a new food culture that incorporates bioeconomy.
Some organisms are sensitive to small changes of the global environment. We should choose them from among edible organisms, and specify them as internationally indicative organisms. Making full use of advanced biological scientific methods, we should periodically observe sensitivities that are shown by them. The above-mentioned activity is an important challenge for humankind. As conditions in which organisms become candidates for international indicative organisms, the following should be considered naturally. First, relationships between indicative organisms and humankind should be as phylogenetically distant as possible. Second, they must have been used as an important source of protein in all parts of the world from ancient times. Furthermore, they must be cosmopolitan species of industry of the present day. The Japanese or Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas exists as one organism that meets those conditions. Furthermore, it is necessary to express biological properties of the internationally indicative organisms in some indexes. Natural bio-defense functions that provide adaptability to the environment can be assessed exactly as a very suitable index.
Regarding the above-mentioned periodical observation, it is effective to initiate a project having international authority and put it into effect. Furthermore, based on results of examination, each country should produce a strategy to rescue the earth through cooperation. We would like to propose an international environmental conservation activity by which this strategy is carried out steadily.

Nutritive value is high in oysters, so that they are said "milk of the sea". They are the most traditional seafood for the human. These facts led us to assume that they gave birth to thought of aquaculture and thought of marine environmental protection, meaning that they are the extremely important marine creatures. As an international trade object among marine products, oysters are acquiring greater importance. The first International symposium about oysters was held at last in Tokyo on the 13 and 14 th of July, 2005, under the sponsorship of the Foundation of Oyster Research Institute, Sendai, Japan. It is not too much to say that the above symposium held in Tokyo, that is, The 1 st International Oyster Symposium (IOS-1), was indeed a historically memorable event, because the holding of such an international oyster symposium had been a longtime pending problem for persons concerned with world fisheries. This symposium ended successfully, and, in addition, the later reactions from the inside and outside of our country to it are very good. So, I am satisfied with these results as the sponsor very much. The establishment of the World Oyster Society (WOS) was in one of the important matters decided at the General Discussion of IOS-1. WOS takes a role as the host organization for IOS which will be held in future in many parts of the world, meaning that WOS is placed as the upper organization of the local executive committee which will be set up at a holding place for IOS.
The Steering Committee of WOS consists of 12 members including President who are from Canada, France, Australia, China and Japan as of Jan. 1, 2006. I was appointed President. I will make an effort to fix IOS worldwide as President of WOS.
The vision, mission and objectives, annual dues, steering committee and proceedings are as described later. All of the WOS members are freed from annual dues for the purpose of maintaining a secretariat (The Foundation of Oyster Research Institute, Sendai, Japan) and paying for communications by E-mail. I want that anyone who approves of the vision, mission and objectives will apply for a membership. The secretariat established the exclusive homepage of WOS. By using this homepage together with E-mail, I would like to invite a membership.

I want to purchase McAfee AntiVirus plus to scan attached media (usb flash drives, CDs and DVDs, ZIP disks, etc), many of which I suspect do contain viruses or malware. Since I suspect they have viruses I want to disconnect the computer from the internet prior to the scan.
So, I want to install McAfee AntiVirus plus while the computer is connected to the internet, then disconnect, then attach the media and conduct a virus scan. Will that work? Or does the tool require constant internet connection?
Thanks for any help y'all can provide!
That shouldn't be an issue. The Ondemand Scan feature can still be used with the PC being disconnected from the internet (offline). However to achive best detection result, do update the antivirus before initiating a scan.
Note: McAfee doesn't recommend doing scans offline as it could considerably reduce threat detection, especially threats that are more recent.

If you like Burzum's early shenanigans or Ulver's more straightforward (but not too straightforward...) black metal, or if you're just interested in what a black metal side project with Colin Marston (Behold... The Arctopus, Dysrhythmia) and Mick Barr (Crom-Tech, Orthrelm) sounds like, you need to check this out. Hell, the unreadable band logo should be enough to convince you that these guys don't fuck around.
High speed, mind-fuck tremolo riffing (you know that's why you like Black Metal in the first place) is the name of the game here, but there's definitely a few throwbacks to these two guys' tech-metal roots. The riffing changes so constantly that you feel like you're being thrown back and forth between two screaming beasts, all while some dude bellows at you from behind the mix. One of the best albums this year so far, hands down.

Go to Poland
Went to Poland. Saw Max and Kasia get married. Danced all night. Witnessed extreme vodka drinking. Reconnected with old friends. Made new ones. Drove through beautiful countryside in a tiny car. Remembered how much I love stick shift. Ate pierogies. Met an adorable puppy. Learned how to say "thank you" in the native tongue. Learned no other Polish words. Didn't get lost...that much. Saw castles and cathedrals in Krakow and Prague. Found a fire-breathing dragon. Took ice cream breaks and pictures and had very few stressful moments. Relaxed in bustling historical squares over coffee. Slept in palaces and former communist holding cells. Watched our child charm countless strangers. And more stories to come.

Movement for Living Wages, Community Space, and Organizing Rights Grows at Profitable Mall
What: Scores of community members and workers will be out in force, asking Queens Center Mall shoppers to sign pledge cards asking the owner of the mall, the Macerich Company, to give back to the community by transforming the publicly-subsidized mall from a poverty wage center into a responsible development. In exchange for the more than $100 million in tax breaks Macerich receives, the Queens Center Mall Campaign is pushing Macerich to require retailers to pay a living wage with benefits, respect workers' rights to organize a union without threat or intimidation, and provide space for community services.
Who: Queens Center Mall workers and community members.
When: Sunday, April 25, 2:00 p.m.

Problem of the Day #53: Maximum Root Product May 11, 2011Posted by Saketh in : potd , trackback
Dasith is investigating sequences of $n$ numbers $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$, … $x_n$ that satisfy the following relationship for some predetermined constant $k$.
\[k\displaystyle\prod\limits_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i} + \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i} = 1 \]
Right now, he is considering the case where $n=3$. He knows that the sum of his three numbers is $s$. Help him determine, in terms of $k$ and $s$, the maximum possible value of the product of his numbers.
Bonus: Can you extend your result for higher values of $n$?

Lately I'm embraced by wonderful changes. I'm excited about them. Not sure where I was or why it happened… but this AMAZING IDEA to write a book became part of me. I feel FEEL like the book I stumbled upon right there on the table at Barnes and Nobble happened for a powerful reason. I have these brilliant ideas. I say brilliant because they create a charge in me that I cannot dismiss. I say it's a hopeless love. Love is messy but it's SO beautiful. I have all these thinks. Sometimes I think on them too much in that I wonder what cold be and what if. Well I'll never know until I do.
So I had this idea to paint with only a spoon fork.
I didn't know what to do but I kept painting all over the place. I painted the green grass with a flat motion. I wasn't having much luck with color mixing. I used a combination of acrylic and tempera paint. Then I tried to make dots with the fork points and that didn't work either. Then I created circular motions with the spoon. I do love the color pink with the green… and there it was …what an idea!
This is one of the awesome places in my book. Maybe I will tweak the color and make room for the hot air balloon. I'm so excited about all these interesting ideas and it's as if the world is whispering yes.
After all this, I happened upon the incredible book" What do you do with an idea?" and the most beautiful words. When you have an idea you may want to shun it and shove it deep inside a box and let it get all dusty and filled with cobwebs. You may abandon it the moment it starts to cause trouble and steals your security blanket. This is my take on it of course. Everyone that I have ever known that is and not necessarily rich but wealthy in love and in financial comfort has had an idea and nurtured it. They held on tight and protected this idea from the storm and the bullies of the world. They had an idea that carried them through the heart ache and the terrible feels like I'm wasting my time days. No more and I mean it. DONE!
My side project is to write a first children's chapter book. I'm thinking a book like Mercy Watson. I love the feel of the book and the size. I love the idea of a first chapter children's book and just seems like a great balance of pictures and words. I am learning to draw and have no idea how to even self publish a book let alone illustrate it and that excites me. Yes it's scary but I'm excited.
Right now I am transferring my story onto computer so I can begin the editing process. In the mean time I am practicing with ideas to paint my illustrations. I have broken things down to the following:
1 Edit every word
3. In the mean time draw and paint illustrations using mixed media.
4. Draw profiles of each of my characters.
5. Learn all about how to publish my book.
6. Oh yeah in the mean time keep lettering and learning about art.
7. When I'm done with all of this I will publish a limited edition run of Wise Trees. A collection of my curious thoughts surrounding trees. YES THIS MUST HAPPEN. HELP ME ALL MIGHTY.
I can't believe I am writing this out but a voice again says this book will be read this Read Across America Day. Okay I am doing it. I must and will have this book done by March just in time for read across America. Yes sounds crazy but I know I can do it. In the mean time I will work on illustrations and keep having fun.
My story. I can feel it now.
We have Dimples, Ana Mary, George, Claude, Bartholomew, Woodpecker, Fox, and Mother Apple. These friends live like you and me with hopes and dreams and honey cake too. Well except for the matter of Ana Mary who is a bee that wants to bake for people all over the world. George is the biggest butterfly ever and he sings. Claude is a loveable tea drinking painter who happens to be a bear. Bartholomew wanted prize winning carrots and fell in love with strawberries. Woodpecker lost his Opal but found Dimples. Dimples is a dog who believes he can fly. Mother Apple is the biggest most beautiful and wisest tree that once was the size of a bonsai tree.
Yeah I'm excited.
Imagine all the impossibilities that are possible.

I grew up in Saylorsburg, PA, and graduated with a history major and Spanish minor from East Stroudsburg University in 2017. I was saved my senior year of high school, when I spent a lot of time with a Christian family. Their kindness and selflessness totally baffled me, and it turned out they were that way because Christ has impacted them so much. I started going back to church and really understood the gospel for the first time, and that has radically transformed my life. Now I want others to hear about Christ, and Lord-willing I will be able to see their lives transformed as a result of knowing Christ, just like my life has been.

As a lighting designer, I try to make the image move. I pay attention to the passage of time in addition to the space sculpted by light.
My lighting is never a still image. I always focus on how the lighting changes. I want my lighting to flow with time, the way it works in real life. For me, that's how the light should be on stage. A light in motion.
A lighting designer is like a bass guitar player in a band. Though we are very important, we never want to stand out. We play backup, and let the music flow.

Medway Council has just completed a project to overhaul its Internet and Intranet site to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act and other government standards valued at 500,000-pounds. The site has also been registered with the Internet Content Rating Association (Icra.org), which gives Web sites a rating called PICS that is similar in concept to a PG rating on a video. Medway's new sites were built on the IXOS content management system (Obtree C4) and SQL databases.
Medway Council is a unitary authority, providing local government services for a quarter of a million people in Kent. The council Web site currently receives 1.8 million hits a month and contains more than 8,000 pages. The re-design aimed to improve site accessibility and usability for all members of the community, including those with disabilities. The project involved approximately 150 people and amounted to nine years of work managed by the PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE) version 2 methodology. The UK government standard for IT project management; PRINCE divides projects into stages in an effort to enable efficient control of resources and regular monitoring against objectives.

Goalkeeper Andre Blake has been the fort in front of the net for the Jamaican National team in the 2017 Gold Cup tournament. Allowing only two goals, one of those coming off of a penalty, the Mexico shutout was no surprise. Philadelphia Union 2016 MLS Goalkeeper of the year, Blake had punched his Gold Cup ticket long ago when his 32 MLS regular season starts helped lift his side to a playoff berth for the first time since 2011.
Blake's relentless vision for the ball mixed with a humble band of Reggae Boyz on his back, will walk into a Gold Cup Final against a familiar foe Wednesday evening in Santa Clara, California. Coach Theodore Whitmore hinted that his team have been aiming to get into that high-level conversation of teams that make it to the Gold Cup Final, saying "It's always U.S and Mexico, we've been working to break that cycle and be with one of those top teams."
Set to face the prowess of Andre Blake we find a United States Men's National team poised for a rematch of the 2015 semi-final in which Jamaica upset the Yanks. Although the sting still lingers for Michael Bradley, who scored the lone goal in the 2015 match, he feels optimistic with his own revived clan of U.S Boyz.
Michael Bradley Postmatch VS CRC – Semifinal Gold Cup 17 from Jesus Miguel Garcia on Vimeo.
Bradley made it clear what his guys were feeling Saturday night in front of 45,516 in attendance at AT&T stadium in Arlington when he said "playing inside, in this stadium, makes a big difference." The US team showed a dominant performance with possession 57% of the match overall, and a 2-0 victory against a Costa Rican team that was called a silent-sleeper that had an edge in their pocket. The edge wasn't apparent Saturday night. Bradley goes on to say "I thought the atmosphere was incredible, the field played really well, and it makes for a big occasion. Tonight feels like a big game, and I think guys feed off of that in every way." It was a big occasion in the second half when the usual suspects showed up. Altidore and Dempsey respectively forged goals ten minutes apart in the 72' and the 82' to give the U.S team their final plane ticket of the tournament, bayside. Dempsey came in the game in the 66', and only 16 minutes later he captured his 57th goal and tied Landon Donovan for the most goals scored in USMNT history.
Dempsey will look to break the record in Santa Clara on Wednesday.
After a semi-final weekend, both Jamaica and the U.S left their Gold Cup Final footprint in the grass, and as they collectively look beyond the 49er-riddled backdrop at Levis Stadium, there's a scent of a familiar fracas not far away. It's not very often teams get the chance for redemption, and the chance to pounce on missed opportunities for a Gold Cup title is a blessing in disguise. Wednesday evening the Northern California winds will bring a rivalry to the bay area where both teams will look to guarantee their chance at Gold Cup glory.

Dr Alessandra Panzanelli asks the key questions required to understand the meaning and value of printed books in 15th- century society
The British Library preserves one of the world's largest collections of what are known as 'incunabula' – the first books to be printed in Europe. Each copy has its own fascinating history, which can be reconstructed by a combination of different research techniques to expose the massive social and cultural impact of the invention of modern printing in the 15th century.
Dr Alessandra Panzanelli is working with the British Library and the University of Oxford on a project that aims to generate fresh insights into the introduction of printing in the West. In her talk, Dr Panzanelli will show how the project will ask key questions to understand the meaning and value of printed books in 15th century society. Who owned these books? Who had access to them? How were they shared and used? And what is their contemporary market value?
Dr Panzanelli will describe how the 15cBOOKTRADE project will add to our understanding of the 15th- century printing revolution.
Please bring your packed lunch. Tea, coffee and cake will be provided.

The SCO Group plans to send invoices this month to companies using Linux, the open source operating system that's popular with IT professionals and computer-savvy users. Initial pricing starts at $699 for a single-processor Linux server.
As obnoxious as this sounds, invoicing is less onerous than legal action, and it demonstrates SCO's commitment to protecting its intellectual property. Invoices will be sent to commercial Linux users who have discussed their Linux work publicly.
Recently, SCO sued IBM for $3 billion over the issue of misappropriated UNIX code. Big Blue countersued, and Red Hat, a leading Linux distributor got in the fray by also taking legal action against SCO.

Whew, you'd think we'd all learn from Microsoft's legal travails. Guys, get a life!

After almost two years of keeping a relatively low profile in American politics, Barack Obama has jumped back into the ring.
The former US president has made a number of appearances in support of Democrat candidates for the crucial upcoming midterm elections.
On September 8, Obama appeared in front of Democrats in Anaheim, slamming the state of politics in the US and urging citizens to get out and vote in November.
"It is always tempting for politicians, for their own gain, and for people in power, to try to see if they can divide people, scapegoat folks, turn them on each other because when that happens, you get gridlock and government doesn't work and people get cynical and they decide not to participate," he said.
"That unfortunately has been a spiral that we have been on for the last couple of years."
Curiously, Obama opened his speech with a hilarious anecdote about the time he got booted from Disneyland during his stint at Occidental College, an incident which occurred after he and his friends went to see Kool & the Gang.
Obama revealed that the group stopped to smoke (specifying they were cigarettes, nothing illegal for the future president) and was promptly kicked out by a security guard, who was nice enough to say they'd be welcome to come back any time. Mixed messages, right?
"I was booted from the Magic Kingdom." Obama tells California crowd about his rebellious college visit to Disneyland https://t.co/HvrbzYN89C pic.twitter.com/agYVhZowlZ
— CBS News (@CBSNews) September 8, 2018
Just a day before his speech in Anaheim, Obama appeared in front of more than a thousand students at the University of Illinois, where he made his first official foray into the midterm election season by delivering a scathing critique on Donald Trump's division tactics.
"You need to vote, because our democracy depends on it," he declared in an eloquent one-hour speech which contrasted heavily with the current president's continuous scapegoating and erratic behaviour.
Obama spent a great deal of his speech slamming Republicans in Congress for turning a blind eye to the current "crazy" state of affairs.
"The politics of resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican Party," he said, arguing that some of the policies that conservative leaders are pushing right now are not really conservative, but opportunistic.
"It shouldn't be Democratic or Republican to say that we don't target groups of people because of what they look like or how they pray […] we are supposed to stand up to discrimination and we are sure as heck to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers.
Obama's comments seem a clear rebuttal to a statement Trump made in August 2017 after the violent clashes at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia: "But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."
The Republican National Committee responded to Obama's appearances, especially to the remarks of his first speech.
"2016 is over, but President Obama is still dismissing the millions of voters across the country who rejected a continuation of his policies in favor of President Trump's plan for historic tax cuts, new jobs and economic growth," RNC spokesperson Ellie Hockenbury said in a statement.
"Democrats may have a new resistor-in-chief on the campaign trail, but they'll need more than a message of resist and obstruct to win this November."
Vice President Pence also blasted Obama's appearance in an interview with Fox News.
"It was very disappointing to see President Obama break with the tradition of former presidents, and become so political, and roll out the same tired arguments that he and liberals have made over the last eight years," Pence said to Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.
