A loss and a birthday present in the end for Namibia's Hlupic
Hlupic and Fischer (18) got their first win late last night when their opponents from the Caribbean islands did not show up on centre court. "We slept part of the day because our first match was at 11.20 pm", Fischer said. "We were prepared and ready to play, so Tin was a bit disappointed when they did not show up because he wanted to play really bad. I wasn't. A win is a win."
Anxious to play
So the next morning the Namibian boys, who finished third at the African U21 Championships, were very anxious to play and put that energy in winning the first set against Norway's Einar Torjusen and Sadegh Mohajer. Hlupic: "We were in control in the first set, we read their game nicely. But after that we got tired, we are not used to this humid warmth."
Namibia lost their focus and were blown away in the second set and without chance in the tiebreak: 19-21 21-16 15-8. "We started making a lot of unnecessary mistakes, mostly in receiving", said Fischer. "But at least we played better than last year when we finished 25th at the U19", said Hlupic, who could manage a smile when they played happy birthday after the match. A few minutes later they heard that Trinidad forfeited again and they were safe.
Both Fischer and Hlupic were born in Windhoek, Namibia, but Fischer still owns a German passport and Hlupic a Croatian. His parents emigrated to Africa during the war in Yugoslavia. "Windhoek is a small town for European standards and right in the middle of the country", Fischer explained. "We both started playing indoor in school, but whenever we went to the beach in Swakopmund, we would play beach volleyball."
Lack of opponents at home
There are beach courts like in the US and Brazil, but it is difficult for the boys to find decent opponents to practice with. "We are lucky if we can find six players. Beach volleyball is slowly developing in Namibia but the problem is that we are about the only good team. If we want to improve we have to play more events in Africa and Europe", Fischer said.
They hope to play at the World Tour event in Durban at the end of the year, but money is always a problem. "But we need to play against better teams to get better", said Fischer, who plans to study in Germany next year where he will have better facilities and opponents to play with.
Hlupic is still considering going abroad. He enjoys his visit to his parent's homeland a lot. "It is really nice to see friends and family again and it's easy to communicate. They are really surprised I can speak Croatian. But I will be happy to go back to Namibia. That is my country. Home is where the heart is."

Update: We're unbelievably thankful for all those who have contributed to our film. All additional funding will help us develop our live show into something fantastic, and enable us to take it on the road for people all over the world to see!
What is Girl Walk // All Day? We're making an epic, 71-minute dance music video set to All Day, the new album by mash-up musician Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis). The idea behind Girl Walk // All Day emerged from our desire to expand the boundaries around the idea of the traditional music video, which usually spans the length of a single track. This album-length piece will feature a talented group of dancers across a range of public and private spaces around New York City, turning the city's sidewalks and obstacles into part of an evolving improvisational dance routine. The piece will be available for free online in short, serialized segments and we also plan to screen the full-length film in public spaces, and at festivals, concerts, parties, and beyond, inspiring an interactive viewing experience that will evolve into a series of dance parties around the globe.
What's the story? A young dancer finds herself disgruntled with her low-paying, mundane waitressing job. One day, she impulsively quits, then takes a ferry to the city. Feeling incredibly inspired by what she sees, Anne dances her way across New York, using the city as her stage. Throughout her journey, she meets characters of all types, including a series of like-minded dancers, who'll inspire new movements, engage her in small battles, and teach her to fear, love, laugh and live anew. From the ferry to museums, subways, ball games, bridges, bodegas, graveyards, flower shops, and more, Anne's journey will bring her far and wide. See the trailer, in full, at http://girlwalkallday.com
Who's involved? Jacob is the director and handling the camera. Anne, John and Dai are our core dancers, with additional dancers joining throughout the project. Youngna is assisting with behind-the-scenes production. We are a growing team of talented creatives, including producers, web gurus, dance fanatics and visual artists.
How does Kickstarter work? Kickstarter is a platform for funding creative projects. In exchange for your support, we offer a variety of rewards and our incredible gratitude. Funding is all-or-nothing, so we must raise our full $4,800 to move forward with this project! If we don't make our goal, nobody will be charged. We think this is an exciting way to bring lots of people in on our creative endeavor, and hope you do too.
What are the rewards? Take a look to the right and check out the rewards for contributions of all levels. We plan to complete editing by the end of June and send out DVDs during the summer. We'll have an additional graphic of the poster here soon.
Where will the funds go? We plan to film across six days this spring and complete it this summer. Funds will go toward production expenses like transportation and food for the crew and producing DVDs. Equipment expenses include hard drives, camera stabilizers, a projector for public screenings – so we can bring our project to your rooftops, local parks, storefronts and block parties! Making a film is expensive work, even if it's a project with tons of volunteer effort such as Girl Walk // All Day. Humbly + hopefully: we need your help!

Most Suncoast accommodation is clustered in hubs around the coast. At Vuda, just 20 minutes from Nadi, resorts provide a quiet respite to the bustle of the town but are close enough for island-hopping day trips to the Mamanuca or Yasawa groups.
There are many more accommodation options at Viti Levu's northernmost point, the Ra peninsula, and offshore at Nananu-i-Ra and Dolphin Island. With stunning beaches and soothing sea breezes, the area is one of the best places in Fiji to watch the sunset.
As well as the spectacular shoreline itself, the Suncoast is home to the majestic mountains of the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park and the picturesque Navala village, complete with traditional bures, where you can experience the rustic natural scenery of Fiji.
Explore the Ra peninsula by kayak or SUP, or you can get even further out on the water for game fishing, windsurfing or diving at the world-class reefs.
Getting to Sun Coast
The perfect way to experience this gorgeous expanse of coastline is on a leisurely self-drive. To hire a rental car from Nadi International Airport, all you need is a valid driver's licence from your home country. Alternatively, most resorts will arrange an airport pickup, where you can sit back and enjoy the views.Transport in Suncoast
Dining in Sun Coast
Outside of the many great restaurants at the Suncoast resorts, Lautoka has the best range of dining options, with cafés, bistros and different cuisines from around the world. Vuda Point Marina is also perfect for sunset cocktails, with a great restaurant and relaxed vibe.
There are fewer options food and drink in the smaller coastal towns, but municipal food markets are great places to stock up local produce or snacks for the road.Dining in Suncoast

How to Plan iPad Multimedia Assignments for Students
With classroom iPads, students can create a variety of digital storytelling and multimedia assignments. How should teachers plan iPad multimedia assignments and lessons that test students' storytelling abilities more than their ability to use a computer? Finally, how should such multimedia assignments be structured and graded?
Any educational project or activity benefits from careful forethought and planning; that's most certainly the case with a multimedia production. Consider breaking down a multimedia assignment into the following phases:
Collaboration: Multimedia assignments make great team projects. They include multiple phases with opportunities for each student to gravitate toward his or her particular strengths, whether those are research and reading, organization, writing, visual design and editing, performing, or something else.
Research: Any project worth its weight requires students to do some digging and massaging of information. For example, suppose students have to prepare a narrated slide show on the life of a U.S. president. Discuss the elements of effective research with students by posing questions such as these:
How do you decide where and what to search?
What factors about the president are important to your project? How are you filtering the search results?
Is the information accurate, and how can it be verified?
Selecting and creating supporting materials: Have students collect and/or create materials such as images, music, and more. Discuss the impact of visuals. What images match the sentiment students are trying to express? How does music set the scene for a story?
One way to illustrate the importance of supporting materials is to show short political election advertisements. It's very revealing to note the way images and music are selected to positively or negatively reflect upon candidates' positions.
Be sure to discuss copyright issues such as copyright, ownership, and usage rights with your students. Students should respect copyrights when creating works, especially ones they wish to publish online.
Storyboard creation: One way you can teach students to plan and organize a multimedia project is to have them create a storyboard that maps out the project visually step by step.
One popular iPad app that lets you map your ideas visually is Popplet Lite, which also comes in a paid version called Popplet.
Write a script: Even with a multimedia project, don't let students abandon important traditional skills such as writing. Writing an accompanying script can be a vital part of the multimedia project, and you certainly should consider asking students to submit their script along with their final digital media.
Assessments should reflect the elements of a project you consider educationally important. That can extend beyond the final media piece to include elements such as the storyboard, script, and even the research or collection of resources used in the project. Create and clarify your assessment rubric. It will communicate the project elements that you consider important and result in a more thorough final product.

A new PTSD treatment has been found to have a long term, lasting positive impact three years later in two-thirds of the 19 people tested.
What's the therapy, you ask? Why, it's the love drug, of course: ecstasy.
In CNN's glowing report on the positive impact of ecstasy (or, its technical and not so salacious sounding name "MDMA"), both the doctor who studied the drug and a few of the people who tested it raved about its positive impact on their condition. One described it as allowing her to be aware of the "hard wiring decisions that (her) brain had made." They said it allowed them to process their trauma and move on.
When subjects were given the drug for the study they were held in a controlled therapy environment where the doctor and a nurse monitored their bodies (such as heart rate) and talked them through their experiences, similar (it sounds) to other talking therapies that do not include illicit drugs.
Still, a 19 person test is very, very small. And of course a drug known as the "happy pill" is going to make your brain feel alive and hyper aware. That's what ecstasy does. (Or so I'm told. Let's be clear: I have no personal experience with the drug).
But the doctor in charge of the study says patients show tremendous improvement in their reported symptoms even years after the therapy. Why? From the story:
"We think it gives people this window of time in which they can process things without being overwhelmed by emotion, but also not being numbed up."Even the skeptics, at least as painted in the CNN story, do not seem to take issue with the means so much as the lack of adherence to traditional treatment methods.
Some in the PTSD support community, such as this group, seem to embrace the idea of alternate therapies, even those involving currently "illegal" drugs. Several said they wish they could use Marijuana as a treatment. Of those who expressed worries, some were concerned about the synthetic nature of ecstasy, while at least one wondered if the known side effects of ecstasy use, including an increased likelihood of substance abuse, wouldn't be a problem for those in MDMA therapy.
The study addresses the substance abuse question (researches found no increased likelihood among those in the test run), but there seems to be a lot more at stake here than just that.
For example, ecstasy is known as a readily available street drug. Surely a study such as this one will result in PTSD suffers seeking self treatment in a non-controlled environment. And what report does not say is that taking ecstasy without the guidance of a therapist is a good idea. I'd go even so far as to guess that it's a terrible idea.
And yet I wonder if giving this a go in a larger study isn't something that should be done -- and soon. FDA approved psychotropic drugs are prescribed all the time – what makes those more safe on a controlled, non-abuse basis than ecstasy ... or marijuana, for that matter? If my husband was suffering from an extreme case of PTSD, I would be doing my best to get him to every possible treatment available. I would not be quibbling over whether or not synthetic drugs are a good idea.
What do you think? How would you feel about your spouse (or yourself) taking ecstasy to deal with PTSD?

Highly recommend.Date published: 2017-04-24Rated 5 out of 5 by LamborghiniGal from Beyond comfortable, and very well made. So glad I got this mat. It stays put, is a good weight and it's heavenly to stand on! The edges are nice, because they keep you from possibly tripping onto the mat. This mat is a perfect color match for our kitchen floor and basically blends right in. Until you stand on it! Then you realize you're standing on what feels like a nice, fluffy cloud - only this cloud is on the floor, in your kitchen! LOL From our bare feet, to shoes with heavy tread and heels; this mat handles it all, with no indication of any wear. It really is incredibly comfortable. I would purchase this again, but considering how well this mat is made, it's going to be a long time before that day.Date published: 2017-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by rondafrombrandon from Wellness Mat Finally purchased this for myself and I just LOVE it! It is just so comfortable, easy to clean, stays in place and just feels wonderful. Buying more for Christmas.Date published: 2016-11-17Rated 5 out of 5 by firebroad from PERFECT FOR BACKS These are absolutely the best cushioned mats I've owned for the kitchen. I'm even ordering some in custom sizes for my kitchen. They are so soft and forgiving on your back. If you don't buy them, you'll regret it. They outpace the other brands out there. I've had GelPro mats that did only half as much.Date published: 2016-10-18Rated 5 out of 5 by hismrsC from Very Comfortable I have this in front of my sink and it's so comfortable.

My wife and I decided we would need 2 super quality mats to protect our oak floor and my wife's sensitive feet. I decided that the Wellness Mat, which I had tried in our local store, would fit the bill. We placed one in front of the sink and the other in front of the stove/oven. We are extremely happy with them and recommend them to all who come to our home.Date published: 2016-06-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Norma70 from Worth the investment There were some shipping related issues, but that aside, the mat is such a welcome addition in my kitchen. Don't give in to cheaper imitations! This is the real deal and you'll notice a difference immediately. Yeah, it gets dirty, but that's because you're standing on it all the time! Just get a damp towel and wipe it down every night like I do.Date published: 2016-02-10

New Vision for Cycling
CTC's "New Vision for Cycling" (2MB PDF) is a call on Government and local authorities to aim for substantial increase in cycling and reductions in the risk of cycling.
"New Vision for Cycling" provides some headline facts and figures on the economic, health, environmental and other benefits of cycling (n.b. there is also a referenced version available - 55KB Word doc).
It also summarises the key issues to be addressed in any national or local strategy to maximise these benefits:
- Commitment to cycling - the public sector must recognise the benefits of cycling and implement policies aimed at increasing levels of cycling.
- Cycle friendly planning and design - providing safe, attractive cycling conditions on and off the road network.
- Safe drivers and vehicles - creating environments that both are and feel safer through enforced and enhanced traffic law, lower speed limits and better training for all road users.
- Joined-up public transport that genuinely welcomes cyclists - allowing access to and from interchanges, cycle parking and adequate space on board public transport vehicles.
- Promotion, encouragement and incentives to cycle - promoting cycling positively through workplaces, schools or other organisations, through fiscal incentives to make cycling cheaper.
- Better opportunities for recreational and off-road cycling - more cycling routes in rural and urban green spaces must be opened up and promoted.

Basically nobody outside of Jay Leno has driven the McLaren P1. But now Autocar has gotten a chance. And it seems like it's amazing.
The car, which Jerry Seinfeld called ugly, has more tech held within than an entire IBM factory, probably, maybe. I actually have no proof of that. What I do know is that it has F1 style KERS-boost assist as well as a wing that stalls to reduce drag.
Steve Sutcliffe is the lucky SOB that got a chance to drive the P1 at the Bahrain circuit, and if the amount he talks is equal to the amount he likes it, then it's the greatest car ever made.

The Duke basketball and football teams both play in what will be a busy weekend ahead for Blue Devil fans and both games should prove to be quite interesting. In this weeks edition of Monday Musings we'll take a look at the week ahead, offer thoughts on the programs and of course there is our Cheerleader of the Week.
Where were the students?
On a crisp Autumn day in Wallace Wade Stadium, the Duke football team was going back in forth with Virginia in what was an exciting offensive showdown where the Blue Devils came out on top 55-48. At the start of the game, there may have been 50 students max in the stands and some in the press box thought that number would grow and it did, by maybe 100 and I do mean maybe 100 more. Meanwhile the football team played with a lot of heart and won a thrilling victory in the last minute of the ball game and they deserved better support. Despite the lack of students, the ones who there in faith were shown appreciation as the team and Coach went over to celebrate their victory. I have attended games for a long time and the students were not born for some of them. With that in consideration, I can tell you that I have never seen such lack of support as was witnessed this past Saturday. We live in a day when Duke practically has to bribe and coddle the student body to get them to show up at what should be a traditional gathering. And the scary part is there seems to be no obvious solution. If you are a student and reading this, how about supporting Duke against Boston College for a win would give the Devils a three game winning streak and their second straight ACC win. It'd be a lot easier to accomplish if there were more support.
Meanwhile, Duke opens the men's basketball season
During the ACC Media Day in Charlotte, North Carolina I asked Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski if it were hard to put last season behind him, thinking his answer might be yes. Nah! He's beamed in and ready to embark on the 2010-11 season where the Blue Devils will this time start the season where they left off, that being number one in the country. Duke will miss graduated seniors Brian Zoubek, who attend the exhibition win over Cal Poly, Jon Scheyer who by the way suffered a really devastating eye injury since and Lance "Hustle Bunny," Thomas. But the Blue Devils reloaded with guy named Kyrie Irving, a really talented, sometimes dazzling point guard, Josh Hairtson and Tyler Thornton to go with the returning cast which features All Americans in Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith. The first victim will be Princeton this coming Sunday in a game televised by ESPNU which starts at 5:00. Duke will then turn right around and take on Miami of Ohio on Tuesday. Do you think the aforementioned students will be in Cameron for the opener?
Before the tip off to the basketball season, Boston College invades Wallace Wade
In the pre-season I picked Boston College second in their division [and I wasn't alone] for there was a lot of returning talent on the team. The Eagles stumbled early on, but they are now talking bowl and winning out and they are licking their chops thinking they'll take care of business starting with Duke. Does it seem like it's been a long time since the schools played? Well, it has for Duke has played them one time since their conference arrival, a 28-7 loss in 2006. Anyhow, this is a key contest for both schools in many ways. Duke wants to close out the season with some momentum while Boston College wants to atone for early season woes. The Eagles have won two straight ACC games with their latest victim being Wake Forest, a team which Duke lost a heartbreaker to.
Duke Basketball will be tested early
This seasons edition of the men's basketball team will face several early tests in November and early December. Not that we want to overlook some teams but games with Marquette, Gonzaga or Kansas State, Oregon on the road for Kyle Singler's homecoming all in November. And December brings the #2 Michigan State into Cameron and a rematch with Butler in East Rutherford, N.J. That's two top 10 teams and two top 25 teams and two just outside of the rankings in short time.
And there will be great catastrophes and rumors of ...
This past weekend an ESPN Insider speculated on a certain Duke guard transferring. Not long ago, the media giant started running rumors across the ticker. Rumors set forth tremors in fan bases and the sky is falling crew just know there has to be something to every little whim, right? Well, of course they do and that fuels other fans paranoia more often than not. The mere fact that some rumors are proven to be true seems to justify each and every one be examined under a microscope, despite the fact that the majority of them, like 90% or better are just bunk. I mean opposing fan bases are constantly planting stuff about one another on the wild, wild west like world wide web. This especially holds true on the recruiting front where a certain anonymous poster can say something and it ripples through message boards like fire in a dry forest.
And if you run a web site, you will find that no matter how ridiculous some of them are, you are expected to acknowledge each and every rumor to the tune of numerous questions and the aforementioned "Chicken Little" fans. Oh, and they can be justified for this poster on so and so's board got one right. Folks, I am here to tell you that people have selective memories. If you are in my position, they only remember the very few things I have gotten wrong. Heck, sometimes people even say I gave them a guarantee from lack of comprehension and again, they read what they want to and can reconstruct what you say to fit their selective views. So facts? What are they and do people even care anymore?
The BDN staff starting having to address rumors from other message boards, so much so that we started a separate "rumors," board for unsubstantiated blurbs in an effort to keep fact and fiction apart. Our policy is if there is something out there we'll let you know asap, but if not, or it is another ridiculous rumor we simply will not address the issue and that serves as a message there is nothing to it. But just as some want to remember your misses and or supposed misses others want to just see rumors as being true, by not only overlooking but avoiding some of the facts. When ESPN starts running rumors over the ticker wire, it just opens the flood gates for others to do so and we hope they reconsider before they to have to start a separate rumor central area like we have done. Our motto has long been we deal in fact not fiction and we'll stick by that by stating if what we say is speculation it'll be clear to you and when we are emphatic about say a recruiting or other tidbits, you can take it to the bank.
In closing, thanks for your continued support and visiting the Blue Devil Nation for we all make up that nation. Have a good week ahead, support the Blue Devils and check back in next week for another edition of Monday Musings and of course the Cheerleader of the Week.

Bumble bees: western bumble bee (Bombus occidentalis)
The western bumble bee was once very common in the western United States and western Canada. The workers have three main color variations. These bees can still be found in the northern and eastern parts of their historic range, but the once common populations from southern British Columbia to central California have nearly disappeared. This bumble bee is an excellent pollinator of greenhouse tomatoes and cranberries, and has been commercially reared to pollinate these crops. In the past, it has also been an important pollinator of alfalfa, avocado, apples, cherries, blackberries, and blueberry.
Please contact us if you have any information on the current or recent distribution of the western bumble bee. If you do research on bumble bees, have incidental bumble bees in your collection, or have student insect collections from the past few years, it would help us to know if you have or have not seen these bees. It is as important for us to document where these bees were formerly common, but not recently collected, as it is to document where they were collected.
visit bumble bees in decline page
Since 1998, B. occidentalis has declined most dramatically from western and central California, western Oregon, western Washington, and British Columbia. Although absent from much of its former range, B. occidentalis is still found in isolated areas, primarily in the Rocky Mountains. Below are findings from recent studies.
In order to properly identify bumble bees, you need to first determine whether the bee you are examining is male or female.
Some scientists consider Bombus occidentalis (the western bumble bee) to be the same species as Bombus terricola (the yellowbanded Bumble bee), whereas others consider them to be two separate species. On this website, we treat these bees as two separate species. Bombus occidentalis has many different color variations. On this page, we discuss the characteristics and distribution of the three most common color variants. There are many intermediate combinations of these three color forms that may also be encountered. The first color variant is found from northern California, north to British Columbia and east to southwest Saskatchewan and to Montana. This color variant has yellow hair on the front part of its thorax. The first through the basal section of the fourth abdominal segments have black hair. The lower edge of the fourth abdominal segment and segment 5 are whitish. The sixth segment often has sparse, whitish hairs, but may still appear black because the bee's black exoskeleton shows through the hairs. In some cases, the sixth segment may instead appear to be whitish. Their hair is entirely black on the head. A second color variant of B. occidentalis is found along the central coast in California. It differs from the first in having yellow hair on the sides of the second abdominal segment and all of the third and reddish brown hair on segment five. A third variety of B. occidentalis is found from the Rocky Mountains to Alaska. It differs from the first in having yellow hair on the thorax behind the wings and yellow on the rear of the second and all of the third abdominal segments. Coloration of males is similar except that males have pale yellowish hair on the front of the face and the top of the head has pale yellowish hairs in the middle, with a few black hairs on the sides.
Similar female bumble bees that occur in northern California to British Columbia are B. caliginosus, B. vandykei, B. vosnesenskii, B. californicus, B. insularis, B. fernaldae, and B. suckleyi. All of these bees have yellow hairs on the fourth abdominal segment (or apex of the third abdominal segment in B. vandykei), whereas B. occidentalis in that region does not. In addition, B. caliginosus, B. insularis, B. vandykei, and B. vosnesenskii all have prominent yellow hair on the face, as opposed to B. occidentalis with all black hair on the face. Bombus californicus also has black hair on the head, but can be distinguished by the yellow hair on its 4th abdominal segment.
For an online key, photographs of western bumble bee specimens and extensive identification information, visit the Discoverlife website (listed as Bombus terricola occidentalis).
All bumble bees belong to the genus Bombus within the family Apidae. The family Apidae includes the well-known honey bees and bumble bees, as well as carpenter bees, cuckoo bees, digger bees, stingless bees, and orchid bees. B. occidentalis belongs to a sub-genus of Bombus, Bombus sensu stricto.Bumble bees are important pollinators of wild flowering plants and crops. As generalist foragers, they do not depend on any one flower type. However, some plants do rely on bumble bees to achieve pollination. Loss of bumble bees can have far ranging ecological impacts due to their role as pollinators. In Britain and the Netherlands, where multiple bumble bee and other bee species have gone extinct, there is evidence of decline in the abundances of insect pollinated plants.
Bumble bees are also excellent pollinators of many crops. Bumble bees are able to fly in cooler temperatures and lower light levels than many other bees, and they perform a behavior called "buzz pollination", in which the bee grabs the pollen producing structure of the flower in her jaws and vibrates her wing musculature causing vibrations that dislodge pollen that would have otherwise remained trapped in the flower's anthers. Some plants, including tomatoes, peppers, and cranberries, require buzz pollination.
Prior to 1998, the western bumble bee was both common and widespread throughout the western United States and western Canada. The U.S. states included in the former range of this species are: northern California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, western Nebraska, western North Dakota, western South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, northern Arizona, and New Mexico. Since 1998, this bumble bee has undergone a drastic decline throughout some areas of its former range. While viable populations still exist in Alaska and east of the Cascades in the Canadian and U.S. Rocky Mountains, the once common populations of central California, Oregon, Washington and southern British Columbia have largely disappeared. We are trying to find out how widespread this pattern is; unfortunately, most of this bee's historic range has never been systematically sampled.
There are a number of threats facing bumble bees, any of which may be leading to the decline of Bombus occidentalis. The major threats to bumble bees include: spread of pests and diseases by the commercial bumble bee industry, other pests and diseases, habitat destruction or alteration, pesticides, invasive species, natural pest or predator population cycles, and climate change.Commercial bumble bee rearing may be the greatest threat to Bombus occidentalis. In North America, two bumble bee species have been commercially reared for pollination of greenhouse tomatoes and other crops: B. occidentalis and B. impatiens. Between 1992 and 1994, queens of B. occidentalis and B. impatiens were shipped to European rearing facilities, where colonies were produced then shipped back to the U.S. for commercial pollination. Bumble bee expert Robbin Thorp has hypothesized that these bumble bee colonies acquired a disease (probably a virulent strain of the microsporidian Nosema bombi) from a European bee that was in the same rearing facility, the Buff-tailed Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris). The North American bumble bees would have had no prior resistance to this pathogen. Dr. Thorp hypothesizes that the disease then spread to wild populations of B. occidentalis and B. franklini in the West (from exposure to infected populations of commercially reared B. occidentalis), and B. affinis and B. terricola in the East (from exposure to commercially reared B. impatiens). In the late 1990s, biologists began to notice that B. affinis, B. occidentalis, B. terricola, and B. franklini were severely declining.
Where these bees were once very common, they were nearly impossible to find. B. impatiens has not shown a dramatic decline; Robbin Thorp hypothesizes that B. impatiens may serve as a carrier of an exotic strain of Nosema bombi, although it may not be as severly affected by the disease as B. affinis, B. occidentalis, B. terricola, and B. franklini. B. affinis, B. occidentalis, B. terricola, and B. franklini are closely related to each other (they all belong to the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto). B. impatiens is not as closely related, which may explain the difference in sensitivity to a pathogen. This hypothesis is still in need of validation, although the timing, speed, and severity of the population crashes strongly supports the idea that an introduced disease caused the decline of bees.
The rearing company Koppert recently applied for a permit to transport the eastern species Bombus impatiens to California for crop pollination. The Xerces Society worked with bumble bee researchers to prepare comments to the USDA/APHIS discouraging the movement of these bees into new areas.
Besides the threat posed by the commercial bumble bee industry, there are many other threats to wild bumble bee populations. Bumble bees are threatened by many kinds of habitat alterations which may destroy, alter, fragment, degrade or reduce their food supply (flowers that produce the nectar and pollen they require), nest sites (e.g. abandoned rodent burrows and bird nests), and hibernation sites for over-wintering queens. Major threats that alter landscapes and habitat required by bumble bees include agricultural and urban development. Livestock grazing also may pose a threat to bumble bees, as animals remove flowering food sources, alter the vegetation community, and likely disturb nest sites. As bumble bee habitats become increasingly fragmented, the size of each population diminishes and inbreeding becomes more prevalent. Inbred populations of bumble bees show decreased genetic diversity and increased risk of decline.
Insecticide applications on farms poses a direct threat to foraging bumble bees. Insecticide application on Forest Service managed public lands for spruce budworm has been shown to cause massive kills of bumble bees and reduce pollination of nearby commercial blueberries in New Brunswick. Broad-spectrum herbicides used to control weeds can indirectly harm bumble bees by removing the flowers that would otherwise provide the bees with pollen and nectar.
Bumble bees are threatened by invasive plants and insects. The invasion and dominance of native grasslands by exotic plants may threaten bumble bees by directly competing with the native nectar and pollen plants that they rely upon. In the absence of fire, native conifers encroach upon many meadows, which removes habitat available to bumble bees. The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) is an invasive parasite of the honeybee, yet it also infests bumble bee colonies. Its actual impact on bumble bee colonies could be severe, although it has not been well studied.
Global climate change also poses a real threat to bumble bees; anecdotal evidence has suggested that some of the bumble bee species adapted to cool temperatures are in decline, whereas warmer adapted species are expanding their ranges. Baseline data and long term monitoring are needed to better understand the true impact of climate change on bumble bees.

This fluid kettle bell combination will work your entire body. It requires that you master two old-school weightlifting movements, the clean and the jerk.
Once you get it down, says David Schenk, co-founder of Cross Train LA in Hollywood, you'll turn to it again and again because it works so many muscles in such a short time.
What it does
The combination works your hamstrings, quads, upper and lower back, grip, shoulders and triceps. And the double-dip movement allows you to lift heavier weights overhead for a longer time.
What to do
Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the kettle bell in your right hand and swing it up and into the crook of your elbow that is pinned to your hip or close to it, keeping your wrist straight, the clean move.
Pause in this rest, or "rack" position, for a few beats, then dip down to load your legs as you drive up. As the weight passes your shoulder, dip again to get under the kettle bell as you complete the jerk, legs straightening and arm extending straight to the ceiling with your elbow locked. Return to start.
How much
Start with 10 to 15 repetitions on each side, working up to 21/2 minutes. A good kettle bell weight for most women to start with is 8 to 12 pounds. Men can try from 15 to 25 pounds, depending on their fitness level.

What is it //called// when you are doing linear regression on the problem: $ Y = AX+BZ $ where you are given observations Y and X and are assuming Z is independent Gausssians? If you do max-Likelihood I think you end up minimizing something like $\| Y-AX\|_B = (Y-AX)^TC^{-1}(Y-AX)$ where $C = B^T B$.
But what is this called and are there any tricks like linear regression or is the standard method just to optimize over the variables with some conditions on the rank of $B$ I believe.

Important Shadowpriest Stats
I'm annoyed with the large number of people who declaimed in the Healing Stats threads that "only deaths matter" for healers. I also am aware I've slacked on writing for the shadowside. I'm going to kill two birds with one stone, here. What are the important stats for the shadowpriest, and how do you use them to improve? Note they're quite similar for ALL killteam classes, though some of the details will be different – and you'll probably spot those places as we go.
The "only stat that matters" for the killteam is whether they killed the mob. That said, we pull a number of stats to see how WELL we did. What we want to do is AS MUCH damage as possible AS LONG as possible. That is three (not two) stats that need measured: DPS; Total Damage; and Participation Rate. While the first two are obvious, you all know I love the sound of my own voice, so…
DPS is quite simply the Instant Damage you're doing at any given second. Most of the time it's averaged over the whole fight — and if you fall out of the fight early your overall dps goes down. We'll get to that. Better tools (such as Recount) can graph your damage over a period of several seconds showing you how you're doing — is it a sustained, high level of damage, or is it spiky with high surges followed by a stretch of not so much? Depending on the spells you're casting you can see if this is meeting your expectations, and adjust to increase the total effect.
Total damage is also fairly important. After all, if out of five players – of whom two are the tank and the healer – you are typically doing 10% of the total to the boss…. you probably need to improve. By the same token, if you're doing 50% you're probably doing very well — unless you're running instances that are "under your level".
For shadowpriests and most other mana using killteam players, a critical issue is duration. If you're spending third of the battle out of combat – providing no Damage – it might behoove you to figure out why. If it's because you're dodging Aran's blizzards, that's one thing. But if it's because you do so much damage you pulled aggro and died, or it's because you ran out of mana and had nothing with which to recover and continue… maybe you need to re-evaluate your behavior.
What else is useful? Well, it's useful to see if you're getting the most out of your spells. This, by the way, is one of the reasons I enjoy using WWS – though Recount (and, I think, SWS) will tell you the same thing. How many times did you cast Mind Flay? And how many ticks did it do? Remember if you're getting everything it should be three ticks per cast. If not, you're wasting mana – and quite possibly damage. The same goes for SW:P. And while we're looking, does it look like you're getting as many casts of, well, of everything out as you should? Count the ticks of SW:P. Divide total duration of the battle by 3. How many ticks are you short – how many more casts of SW:P should you have managed to squeeze in there with that extra damage stacking on top? And… how was your hit rate? Are you missing more than 1%? If so, you know you have to up your spell hit rate.
You're killteam. You want to kill the beasties as quickly as possible, but you do not want them alive when you can't do any more to them — better to take a little more time and get them dead than at 1% and laughing at your helplessness. DPS (damage per second) and Rate of Participation (time you're doing damage over total time of battle) which tells you total damage are your three Main Stats. And the littler details tell you where you need to tweak to make it better.
6 Responses to "Important Shadowpriest Stats"
Very good ideas on how to improve efficiency. Clipping ticks off DoTs is the worst thing you can do. Clipping ticks off of Mindflay, however, is something that I find myself doing frequently when the Mind Blast or Shadow Word: Death cooldowns come up. Effectively using these cooldowns (5x improved MB talent) can increase your DPS by as much as 15% as opposed to just straight Mindflay.
Also, maximizing the benefit of power up trinkets can further increase DPS output by 3-5% depending on the trinkets you use. Always use trinkets just before refreshing DoTs, squeeze in as many MB+SW:D as you can, and always use a Mindflay within the last second of the powerup. Doing this effectively increases the duration of the powerup from a 15 sec to 18+ seconds. The difference you'll see when you really get the hang of this is huge. (because SPs are the one stat wonder Shadow Spell Damage > all)
Right now, I'm sporting a 7/0/54 spec to maximize damage output. I see nearly every shadow priest running around with 14/0/47 to get Inner Focus and Meditation. I truly dont feel that these are necessary for fights shorter than 10 minutes. Last night my guild ran SSC and downed Lurker. According to recount (<3 that mod) I was top DPS, with 9.9% of damage done and 995 sustained DPS for the 9.5 minute duration of the fight. I ended the fight with 35% mana. Noone in my group besides me dropped below 50% for the duration of the fight. I decided to stay in the water for the duration of each phase 1 (and rely on VE to keep me up) to eliminate downtime from the spout, and the results were well worth it.
DPM only becomes an issue when you have to reduce DPS output because of low mana, otherwise its irrelevant (much the same as overheal until mana becomes a problem)
Another interesting thing to consider is what to do when a warlock gets a Shadow Bolt crit. It is better for raid DPS to leave that debuff up for as long as possible (+20% more shadow damage for 12 seconds, 4 charges each removed by a non periodic source of shadow damage) While its slightly better for my own personal DPS to nuke them off with a quick MB+SW:D, overall raid DPS benefits more when I Mindflay/DoT for that 12 seconds (Mindflay counts as periodic damage).
On a side note, this is THE BEST time to use Shadowfiend because our little bud deals shadow based damage(20% more shadowfriend damage free…count me in!), and doesn't eat the charges from the debuff.
Also keep in mind that Shadow Priests are in raids for the utility they bring, and that utility is 100% DPS based. Based on Vampiric Touch uptime (mine was about 98% due to phase change) 995 sustained DPS converts to just over 240 mp5 for the whole group. Looking at it from this perspectve, the DPS lost in this case from not clipping Mindflay for MB+SW:D cooldowns would mean a loss of about 20-25 mp5 for each member of the party.
Similar to Doug, I have a 8/0/53 spec to maximize damage output, especially for instances and raids. Threat seems to run high at times, but I still manage to sustain DPS. Let me know what you think:
Also, I must mention that I omitted spirit tap from my spec because I have really low spirit. however, I don't feel that not having spirit tap has been a problem because of efficient use of mana pots and shadow fiend.

The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) resolution 1992/1, upon request of General Assembly (GA) resolution 46/152, as one of its functional commissions. The Commission acts as the principal policymaking body of the United Nations in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. ECOSOC provided for the CCPCJ's mandates and priorities in resolution 1992/22, which include improving international action to combat national and transnational crime and the efficiency and fairness of criminal justice administration systems. The CCPCJ also offers Member States a forum for exchanging expertise, experience and information in order to develop national and international strategies, and to identify priorities for combating crime.
In 2006, the GA adopted resolution 61/252, which further expanded the mandates of the CCPCJ to enable it to function as a governing body of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and to approve the budget of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Fund, which provides resources for technical assistance in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice worldwide. The CCPCJ coordinates with other United Nations bodies that have specific mandates in the areas of crime prevention and criminal justice, and is the preparatory body to the United Nations Crime Congresses. Declarations adopted by the congresses are transmitted through the CCPCJ and the ECOSOC to the GA for endorsement.
The CCPCJ implements the outcome of the congresses into concrete action through decisions and resolutions, many of which are recommended for adoption by the ECOSOC or, through the ECOSOC, by the GA.Intersessional meetings of the CCPCJ are regularly convened to provide policy guidance to UNODC. Towards the end of each year, the CCPCJ meets at a reconvened session to consider budgetary and administrative matters as the governing body of the United Nations crime prevention and criminal justice programme.

Hi Designers!
We like bold, elegant yet simple designs, clean, fun and elegant.
FUNCTIONALITY/AESTHETICS: The blog already exists at http://www.decoretoile.com. The overall style is nice, as it has simplicity, color and elegance, but it the theme needs to be more relevant to interior design.
We also like the idea of an illustration of designer somewhere in the blog. The designer (probably a she) should be professional dressed (please no cocktail dresses :-)!) and sitting on a piece of furniture or at a desk, or similar. May be blogging on her computer, or may be just relaxing. See http://www.shopittome.com and http://www.courtneycochran.com for inspiration.
Star design should be incorporated somewhere in the theme, but should not be too cartoony!
On a side note, if you think you have another great idea for the blog theme we are open to suggestions.
WIDGETS: we like these in the column either on the left or the right, in the order they are currently shown on http://www.decoretoile.com.

Paul Cézanne (French, Aix-en-Provence 1839 - 1906)
Viaduct at l'Estaque (Le Viaduct à l'Estaque), 1882
Oil on canvas
17 3/4 x 21 1/8 in. (45.1 x 53.6 cm)
R. T. Miller, Jr. Fund and Mrs. F. F. Prentiss Fund, 1950
Listen to a podcast about this artwork here
The steep, dry terrain of l'Estaque rises behind the equivocating horizontal of a train viaduct. With its formal simplifications and spatial ambiguities, this close, frontal view of a scrupulously observed motif typifies Cézanne's painting of the 1880s.
From the early 1870s, Cézanne frequently sojourned at the Mediterranean fishing village of l'Estaque, near the painter's home in Aix-en-Provence. The Viaduct at l'Estaque was almost certainly painted in the early months of 1882, during a visit to the site by Auguste Renoir.1 Renoir stopped in l'Estaque in January 1882 en route to Paris from Italy, and worked alongside Cézanne for a short time between late February and mid March.2 Ellen Johnson has established that Renoir's Rocky Crags at l'Estaque, signed and dated 1882 (Boston, Museum of Fine Arts)3 was painted from nearly the same spot as Cézanne's Viaduct.4
Johnson's photographs show the slopes of the massive crags that dominate the views chosen by Cézanne and Renoir, and the tufts and clusters of pines that are still a distinctive feature of the site. In positioning himself slightly to the left of Cézanne, Renoir chose a view of the crag that partly concealed the abrupt projection of the cliff on the right. Renoir's preference for soft landscapes, rolling hills, curved shapes, and gentle transitions also accounts for the great differences between his canvas and Cézanne's Viaduct.5 While Renoir offers a landscape in which the viewer may wander and rest, Cézanne's Viaduct emphasizes the density and resistance of landscape as both a physical topography and a field of painterly perception and transcription.
Anchoring the composition and passing through the rock is the low horizontal of the viaduct which, in Rewald's words, "could easily thwart any attempt at 'penetrating' into the picture's depth." The viewer's points of entry and perusal are explicitly pictorial: "The subtle variations of colors and the vivacious brushwork, no longer rigidly slanted, smoothly lead the eye from the foreground trees to the remote crates set against the sky."6 The short, parallel strokes of the pine trees, and the blue, violet, and ochre patches of rock, enact the light, relief, and declivities of the landscape, and the process of transcribing these incidents--in pigment, on canvas--as an organized field of vision. As Johnson wrote in 1950, "the balance of the thrusts and counter-thrusts in the large planes is enriched by the action of these countless small ones and by their color and value modulations...this tension and resolution, has been carefully brought into unified relationship with the two-dimensionality of the picture surface."7
Cézanne painted at least one other view of the viaduct at l'Estaque that Rewald dates between 1879 and 1882, Le Viaduct à l'Estaque in Helsinki.8 The facture of that painting includes much of the diagonal stroke that characterized Cézanne's work shortly before the moment of the Oberlin canvas. Cézanne also painted at least three other views of the crags at l'Estaque during this period.9 From the mid '80s onward, the artist favored more expansive motifs from l'Estaque that frequently included a view of the bay.10
A. Kurlander
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence and attended the local Collège Bourbon, where he met the writer Emile Zola. Later he became a student at the École Municipale de Dessin, before studying law, as his father wished, at the Université d'Aix. Leaving his law studies early, Cézanne moved to Paris in 1861 and began to paint with Camille Pissaro. Consistently rejected by both the Paris Salon and various art schools, Cézanne returned to the south of France in 1870, thus also avoiding conscription in the war with Prussia. There he began to study nature and to experiment with landscape painting.In 1872, Cézanne joined the ranks of the and again worked closely with Pissarro before participating in the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. Cézanne's paintings were singled out for particularly harsh criticism by the French press, and he again retreated to Aix, where he focused on painting still lifes. In the mid 1870s, Cézanne began to explore the theme of the bathers in major paintings. He regularly visited Pissarro, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), and Auguste Renoir in northern France. Between 1882 and 1895 Cézanne turned away from Impressionism and began his radical and influential transformation of the physical forms of his subjects into a measured, weighty, and personal pictorial order. His intense and extended project focused on still lifes and landscape motifs, most notably the nearby Mount Sainte-Victoire.Towards the end of his life, Cézanne created many portraits and again focused on the theme of the bathers. These late paintings are seen as foreshadowing Cubism. Although several prominent collectors (including Dr. Paul-Ferdinand Gachet, Ambroise Vollard, and Paul Durand-Ruel) purchased Cézanne paintings during the artist's lifetime, his work was largely ignored or attacked. In the late 1890s, his paintings began to be noticed by younger artists, such as Émile Bernard (1868-1941). He is now considered one of the masters of nineteenth-century painting and his paintings have been extremely influential for many artists of the twentieth century.

Technical Data
The paint surface is even and of moderate thickness, with vigorous brushwork evident throughout. The white ground is thick enough to fill the mesh and much of the texture of the plain, tabby weave of the canvas. The canvas was reinforced, probably in the early twentieth century, with an aqueous lining. The original tacking margins have been cut off, probably during the lining process.The ground, surface, and paint are in good condition. Slight losses of ground and paint at the edges were inpainted at the ICA (Intermuseum Laboratory) in 1961, mainly along the bottom edge. A natural resin varnish was removed in 1961 and replaced with PVA-AYAA.
1. The 1882 date for the painting was established by Johnson in 1963. See Ellen Johnson, "Viaduct at l'Estaque: A Footnote," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 21, no. 1 (Fall 1963), pp. 25-28. Footnote 5, p. 28, cites alternate dates that had been proposed for the work, in addition to the 1882-85 range published in the Lionello Venturi catalogue raisonne (Cézanne: Son Art--Son Oeuvre, vol. 1 [Paris, 1936], no. 401). See also John Rewald, The Paintings of Cézanne: A Catalogue Raisonné, vol. 1 (New York, 1996), no. 441.
2. On 23 February 1882, Renoir wrote Durand-Ruel: "I was at l'Estaque, a little place like Asnières, but on the seacoast. Since it's so beautiful, my goodness, I'm staying here another two weeks. It would really be a pity to leave this beautiful country without bringing something back from it. What weather! Spring with a sweet sun and no wind is rare in Marseille. What's more, I met Cézanne here and we're going to work together." They could not have painted together a great deal on this occasion, for Renoir soon fell ill. On 2 March, he wrote Victor Chocquet that he was convalescing in Cézanne's care, and that Cézanne would shortly go up to Paris. Cézanne left sometime in March, and Renoir went to Algiers. John Rewald, Paul Cézanne, a Biography (New York, 1948), pp. 133-34; cited in Ellen Johnson, "Viaduct at l'Estaque: A Footnote," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 21, no. 1 (Fall 1963), p. 25.

4. Ellen Johnson, "Viaduct at l'Estaque: A Footnote," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 21, no. 1 (Fall 1963), pp. 24-28, for the mention of Renoir's view.
5. See Ellen Johnson, "Viaduct at l'Estaque: A Footnote," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 21, no. 1 (Fall 1963), pp. 27-28. Renoir's composition is quite close to that of Cézanne's Au fond du ravin, l'Estaque (Houston, The Museum of Fine Arts); John Rewald, The Paintings of Cézanne: A Catalogue Raisonné, vol. 1 [New York, 1996], no. 393). Rewald dates Au fond du ravin, l'Estaque no later than 1882 for reasons of style, and suggests that Renoir saw it during his visit.

12. This date appears in John Rewald's notes for the catalogue raisonné, which he sent to the AMAM in 1989, but no dates are included in the provenance for this work in the 1996 (posthumous) catalogue raisonné. In Wolfgang Stechow, European and American Paintings and Sculpture in the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College (Oberlin, 1967), p. 30, the 1913 purchase by Cassirer is followed by a question mark.
13. Schmitz's ownership is documented between 1930 and 1936; according to Rewald's notes of 1989, Schmitz bought the work in 1913 at the Berlin Secession exhibition. Other paintings in Schmitz's collection at the time of his death transferred to his estate. Cf. provenance history of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, The Grands Boulevards (Philadelphia Museum of Art, acc. no. 1986-26-29).

Q&A with Senior Juan Pablo Carrillo
Related Links
Q: After transferring from Southwestern College, you put together an impressive junior year for UCSD in the pool. How exciting was it to win the Pacific Coast Swimming Conference Championships and then perform so well at the NCAA Championships?
CARRILLO: It was very exciting to be able to be a part of a winning team and perform as well as I did at the NCAA Championships. I owe it all to the great swim program at UCSD and my teammates who are constantly pushing each other to perform at their optimal level.
Q: What personal goals have you set out for 2009-10? What about team goals?
CARRILLO: The most important goal for this season is to be healthy in order to be able to compete at this year's NCAA Championship. Another personal goal that I have set for myself would be to bring home two national titles in the 100 breaststroke and the 200 breaststroke. My team goal for this year is to become National Champions in both the women's and men's teams.
Q: Having competed under head coach Scott McGihon for a year, how would you describe him as a leader?
CARRILLO: Given the opportunity to swim under Scott McGihon has been a great experience for me. He not only challenges his swimmers to excel in the water but also outside the pool, in academics. He has the ability to lift the entire swim team to new levels, and motivate his athletes toward accomplishing the highest level of performance from each individual.
Q: What is your most memorable moment from the 2008-09 season?
CARRILLO: My most memorable moment of the 2008-2009 season would have to be competing at the NCAA Championships. Throughout the season my main goal was to qualify for the championships. I was lucky enough to go to the finals in four different events - 200 medley relay, 400 medley relay, 100 breaststroke and the 200 breaststroke.
Q: What do you prefer, swimming in an individual event or competing as part of a relay?
CARRILLO: I personally prefer swimming individual events because it is a personal reflection of my athleticism, whether the result is positive or negative.
Q: In one word, how would you describe the mindset of a swimmer?
CARRILLO: Intensity.
Q: How did the time you spent at Southwestern College help prepare for life as a Triton?
CARRILLO: Swimming for Southwestern College prepared me to become a team player. It also enabled me to stay in shape for the rigorous high intense training required by UCSD.
Q: When a movie is eventually made about your life, what will be the theme song?
CARRILLO: "Freak me" by Silk.
Q: Given that your father competed in track and field at UC Santa Barbara, what was the sports atmosphere like in your family growing up?
CARRILLO: Growing up in an athletic family we were all required to participate in a variety of sports. It was our decision which sports we elected to participate in. Coming from a family of track and field athletes I saw myself more adaptable with better results in the water rather than the track.
Q: As a Studio Art major, what is your favorite medium to work with?
CARRILLO: I try not to limit myself to one medium, but I do prefer metal work sculpture.
Q: What artist do you most admire?
CARRILLO: I am being constantly exposed to new and different artist swhich spark creative interests with new ideas. It seems like I admire a different artist ever day!
Q: Considering that cooking Mexican cuisine is one of your hobbies, what is your favorite dish?
CARRILLO: Pozole, a Mexican beef soup.
Q: Being a San Diego native, what's the best part about being so close to home?
CARRILLO: Being able to visit my family frequently. The family atmosphere helps me maintain my focus on my studies and sport. My family's moral support is something that I value tremendously.
