#94 – "I Walk Along Darkened Corridors" (1992)
L.K.: Another Fingertip, woohoo. But one of the most epic of all "Fingertips"! A.S.: The dramatic conclusion to "Fingertips"! L.K.: This is THE go-to "Fingertip" for Dan Miller guitar pyrotechnics. A.S.: At least whenever they play it live. L.K.: Also for ridiculous over the top vocals from Linnell, again, during live shows. A.S.: Yeah, for an extremely basic I-IV-V chord progression, they … Continue reading
#45 – "Cyclops Rock" (2001)
A.S.: Happy Presidents' Day! L.K.: We didn't get a presidential song today, but uh… it has a president in it. Sometimes. A.S.: It's always better with a president in it. L.K.: Sometimes it has an evil doll, but sometimes it's Richard Nixon. A.S.: Well, the evil doll's in it all the time, I just like it when Chucky gives some … Continue reading
#42 – "Leeds" (2004)
L.K.: A REAL Venue Song! A.S.: Alright, well I'll just go ahead and state the obvious that this is a Who reference, almost certainly thanks to the Live At Leeds LP, which I still confidently claim to be the greatest live album of all time. L.K.: A lot of Venue Songs are pretty blatant shoutouts to other bands. This one being … Continue reading
#32 – "Alphabet Of Nations" (2005)
L.K.: You know, this might be the kids song that has wound up being played in more "adult" shows than any other. A.S.: I think "Clap Your Hands" might be the only one that's been played more. L.K.: Similar to "Clap Your Hands", different sections of the fanbase seem to have pretty different opinions about this song, and … Continue reading
#29 – "What Is A Shooting Star?" (2001)
L.K.: Thanks to this song, we know that it is not a star at all. A.S.: It's just a meteor heading for a fall. This song has a somewhat interesting history, given that it's probably most often heard as part of Here Comes Science but was recorded and first released much earlier. L.K.: And it's from the same compilation of space-related … Continue reading

With Discovery Insure, clients can be assured that their vehicles have an added layer of security. Discovery Insure client, Johan de Wet, discovered this when he set off for the Telkom 947 Cycle Challenge after months of training.
"I arrived for the race about an hour before my start time. I was really excited about participating – it was my third 947 race and I trained about five months to be ready for it," Johan tells us. As he arrived at the starting line, his wife phoned him to wish him luck. About three minutes later Johan got another recurring phone call which he ignored, having set off for the race already.
When the phone rang for the fourth time, Johan answered his phone. "I found out my car was stolen. I was really disappointed when my race was cut short." The call was from Discovery Insure's Insure24 team that monitors alerts from insured vehicles with the DQ-Track installed.
The DQ-Track in Johan's vehicle picked up an impact on the vehicle, which immediately alerted the Discovery Insure team that something was amiss. Johan was contacted within three minutes of the car being stolen.
"Interaction with the Discovery staff was amazing", he adds. "The guys were really professional, responsive, and called back when they said they were going to call back." Johan's car was recovered about an hour and a half after the initial call.
Despite having interrupted his cycling race, Johan's experience with his vehicle insurance was a good one. "I know that if the car's going to get stolen, I'm going to get it back again. And what really helps is to know that there is a responsive team sitting behind the insurance to respond quickly and make sure you get your vehicle back with the least amount of inconvenience."
Watch Johan's story here:

However, the outward appearance of the convent, as it has come down to us, corresponds to the episcopate of Fray Antonio de Monroy, Archbishop of Santiago between 1685 and 1715, and is the work of Domingo de Andrade. The façade is composed of two large Tuscan pillars decorated with strings of fruit characteristic of the architect, which support a curved split pediment and the great door frame lintel, presided over by the founder's image. Above is the coat of arms of the House of Altamira with the royal crown.
Inside the building, at the northwest corner, is the triple helical staircase which, for its technical and structural audacity is a good example of the virtuosity of Andrade and well worthy of our admiration. Within the same space are three separate ramps leading to the different floors. This staircase is considered by locals and visitors alike as one of the unique elements of the architectural heritage of Compostela .
When the law of secularization of religious orders was promulgated, the convent passed into the hands of the city council . The Royal Decree of 1836 of the Queen Regent stipulated that " the buildings which were monasteries and convents in this Court are now to be dedicated to the benefit of the people". Bonaval was to become " the regimental barracks of Santiago de Compostela, and the church to be demolished ". Fortunately, this ruling was never executed. In 1841 the council converted the convent into a hospice, which until 1945 still occupied the north wing. The south wing hosted a school for the deaf and blind. When these institutions were abolished , the building remained unused until 1963, when the council decided to use part of the premises as a Municipal Museum .
In 1977, at the request of the Board of the Museum of Galician People, the town council donated the building to the creation of the museum of the same name. In 1993, on the western edge of the site, which had remained vacant for decades, the Galician Centre of Contemporary Art ( Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea), designed and built by the Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza Vieira, was opened. The convent garden, in which the ruins of some outbuildings of the friars still stand, became a public park the following year.
The main body of the church dates from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and is the only example of Gothic Mendicant that has been preserved in Compostela. The original temple was modified over the centuries by numerous alterations and additions.
The ground planhas three naves and a transept. Three polygonal apses form the head and the centre is slit by five narrow windows covered with fan vaulting . The transepts, chancel and two small side chapels have vaults. The false vaults of the central nave rest upon arches on tall pillars with simple capitals in the Romanesque tradition .
The main chapel, which gives access to a pointed arch decorated with vegetable motifs, has a skirting of tri-lobed arches and houses four tombs of the fifteenth century corresponding to the family members of the powerful house of Altamira .
The apsidal chapellto the left is dedicated to San Vicente Ferre : Santo Domingo presides over the eighteenth century altarpiece, replacing the missing image of San Vicente. The chapel of the epistle is dedicated to St. Thomas Aquinas and contains the Gothic image of the Virgin of Bonaval. The adjoining chapels of St. Peter Martyr and San Jacinto were built by Gaspar de Arce and signed in the keystone with the date of 1617. The square floor lies under a semicircular sunken coffered dome with richly decorated heraldic motifs . Facing this is the chapel of Santo Domingo in Suriano, built in 1657 on the original Rosary and retains an altarpiece of the XVIII. The present chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, belonging to the confraternity of that name, was begun in 1635 on the site of the former cloister and cemetery by Bartolome Fernandez Lechuga and completed ten years later by Jacome Fernandez..
The facade of the church, is restrained with a triangular pediment supporting the coat of arms of Altamira and opens through a baroque gate that leads to the atrium and staircase leading up to the temple. On the front are three gothic figures : the Virgin with the Child Jesus flanked by St. Peter and St. Catherine . In the left corner of the church stands the tower of three parts: the first two are cubic, with cornices surmounted by balustrades and the last is octagonal with a dome crowned by a pinnacle with a ball and vane.
The Church of Bonaval houses the Pantheon of Illustrious Galicians and the tombs of Rosalia de Castro , Alfredo Brañas , Ramón Cabanillas , Francisco Asorey, Domingo Fontan and Alfonso R. Castelao .

CTFs (Abbreviation for Capture The Flag) are a type of computer security competition. Contestants are presented with a set of challenges which test their creativity, technical (and googling) skills, and problem-solving ability. Challenges usually cover a number of categories, and when solved, each yields a string (called a flag) which is submitted to an online scoring service. CTFs are a great way to learn a wide array of computer security skills in a safe, legal environment, and are hosted and played by many security groups around the world for fun and practice.Who can play Amrita InCTF Junior ?
The competition is open to all high school students (8th - 12th grade) from India.How much does it cost to participate in Amrita InCTF Junior?
Participation is fully free: there are no fees for participating in the contest.Why should I play this ?
Developing skills in the area of cyber security opens up a whole new range of career opportunities for skilled graduates. Today graduates with expertise in cyber security are in great demand for the positions of security analysts in top private computer firms in India. Of course apart from the private computer firms, the Electronic and Computer Science Division of DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization), which is the government wing that currently handles the national cyber security, is also in need of cyber security professionals with skills, agility and a fresh and updated outlook at cyber security.Where does this happen ?
The Internet! The competition will be indefinitely available online at this website. As long as you have the ability to install software and have unfiltered Internet access, the participants can compete from anywhere in India.How can I prepare for this competition ?
The challenges from the previous round of InCTFj are accessible. The detailed solutions to these challenges will be put up later on. New users can use these solutions to learn as the challenges for this round might cover similar concepts as well. It might also be helpful to learn a bit of programming in languages such as C, Python, Javascript and HTML.What do I need for this competition ?
Full participation in the competition requires only a computer (preferably running Linux operating system) with a modern web browser and the ability to install applications, and ofcourse Internet access.What are the topics included ?
Our categories are Reverse engineering, Binary exploitation, Web exploitation, Cryptography, Forensics and Trivia.What do I get if I win ?
You will be invited for a 2-day cybersecurity training followed by the final contest. The winners will be given a cash pool prize worth Rs. 90,000.What constitutes as cheating ?
Attacking the scoring server, other teams, or machines not explicitly designated as targets is cheating. This includes both breaking into such machines and denying others access to them. Sharing solutions or providing overly-revealing hints with other teams is cheating, as is being directly assisted by personnel other than contest admins (using tools from the internet is OK; asking people on the internet to help you solve the problem is not). We encourage you to solve problems in novel and creative ways using all available resources, but we do require that you solve them yourselves.Are there any similar competitions ?
There are several CTF's that are intended to help high school students gain some experience such as picoCTF, EasyCTF, HSCTF etc. You may try out the challenges from these CTF's if available.What is the role of a mentor?
The mentor is a guardian who we can contact for any information regarding the student. We prefer that the student's school computer science teacher be the mentor, since communications will be much easier with someone who has the technical knowledge and aptitude. The mentor will not have to actively guide you on the learning process. The student is instead expected to solve all challenges without any outside help.I have some doubts, where can I ask ?
You can contact us at our facebook page for priority reply or email us directly at [email protected] or call us at 8129426557.

Iran was Turkey's second biggest crude supplier in the second quarter of 2015, supplying nearly one-fourth of the country's oil demand in that period.
Turkey imported an average of 488,000 barrels of oil per day in April-June, 72,000 more barrels a day compared to Q1, according to a report by ISNA.
The country imported nearly 245,000 bpd of crude from southern neighbor Iraq, while its Iranian crude imports reached 117,000 bpd in that period, comprising roughly 24% of Ankara's oil demand.
Saudi Arabia was the country's third biggest oil supplier in Q2 with an average of 57,000 bpd.
Turkey's import of Iranian oil can see a dramatic rise as an Iranian official said last week in Geneva that the country's oil output will rise by 500,000 bpd by late November or early December "even before most western sanctions would lift" with sales to Asia.
Iran is aiming for an increase of close to 1.5 million bpd by the end of 2016, taking daily production to 4.2 million.
Iraq's oil supplies to Turkey have been hampered in the past few months, as the oil pipeline stretching from fields in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region and Kirkuk to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan has been repeatedly targeted inside Turkey since a ceasefire between Ankara and Kurdish forces broke down in late July.

Poor health care affects immigration
As a report by the Center for Social Justice released Tuesday reveals, during the past five years, an estimated 600 immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally have been deported by American hospitals in a little-known removal system called "medical repatriation."
As inhumane as the end decision seems, the underlying complexities regarding illegal immigration and health care costs are to blame here, not the hospitals.
In one of the 600 cases detailed in the report, days after a near-fatal car accident, Jacinto Cruz and Jose Rodriguez-Saldana lay comatose in Iowa Methodist Medical Hospital. Both did not immigrate legally and the hospital was unsure of whether the victims' health insurance would pay for long-term rehabilitation, according to the Latino Post.
In the end, the hospital took matters into its own hands by quietly loading Cruz and Rodriguez-Saldana on a chartered international flight back to Mexico.
Shipping unconscious patients back home might sound harsh, but many key points have been left out or understated by the media in its sensationalized retellings of these stories. Before categorizing hospitals as insensitive and ruthless, a closer look shows that they really had no choice in light of financial pressures and responded with the most rational plan.
First off, the immigrant patients that the report speaks of were not just "unconscious" but were in a chronic vegetative state. Both Cruz and Rodriguez-Saldana had been in a coma for more than 11 days when the hospital deported them, according to Salon.
After receiving treatment in a Veracruz hospital, Cruz and Saldana woke up with life-altering disabilities. With such severe medical conditions, if these immigrants had stayed in American hospitals for care, the costs that taxpayers and hospitals would have to shoulder would have been exorbitantly high.
Comatose patients are often placed in intensive care units, and the national economic cost for intensive care in U.S. hospitals was an estimated $75.6 billion in 2010, according to the Center for Disease and Prevention Control. That comes out to an average of $2,000 to $3,000 a day for intensive rehabilitation, according to the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
With such severe injuries, these patients are better off in their own countries where they possibly have family to look after their long-term well-being as well as to make legal decisions for them.
Additionally, because patients who immigrated illegally are often uninsured and families are not available to provide care, medical personnel are left with simply monitoring them in the hospital, which could be detrimental because such unconscious patients are bound to be at a higher risk for nosocomial infections, and other complications, according to the CDC.
The fact that the medical repatriation system is not government-run, but hospital-initiated, also sheds light on the danger of being quick to judge hospitals as evil just because of these deportations. As much as we wish it were the case, hospitals in this country cannot afford to distribute free services generously to all, because they are also for-profit businesses that rely on funding to continue saving lives.
According to Salon, the Iowa hospital officials allege they had received permission from Saldana's parents and Cruz's long-term partner for the flight to Mexico. Though the men and their families filed a lawsuit in 2010 because of alleged minimal rehabilitative care in Veracruz, the court found that Iowa Methodist was not to blame. Moreover, although the families denied giving consent for the flight, they also failed to object to it.
In addition, the two patients were treated in accordance with hospital guidelines, which state that patients must be cared for regardless of their citizenry or ability to pay — that is, until the patients are stabilized. With that policy, a happy medium of providing service and avoiding long-term costs is reached.
Also, the Huffington Post reported that many hospitals tried contacting immigration authorities about undocumented patients, but most calls were ignored, leaving care providers no other alternative than taking matters into their own hands. Though the American Medical Association's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs told doctors in 2009 not to let "hospital administrators to use their significant power and the lack of regulations to send patients to other countries," if there aren't any legal protections or another solution to the ever-looming need to maintain revenues, what, frankly, is a doctor to do?
Under President Barack Obama's health care reform plan, set to go into effect in 2014, immigrants who have not entered the country legally will have to wait eight years before becoming eligible for public health care benefits, Fox News reported. This attests to the hard times still to come. In a time, when, as Salon reported, the federal government plans to cut payments to hospitals that make room for the uninsured instead of American citizens eligible for Medicaid, doctors and hospitals have to make adjustments in their care-giving priorities.
These deportation measures might seem harsh, but before protesting them, it's time for a reality check.

It's been a rough week for Irish football but a worse one for the people who report on it. The sports hacks as a collective have taken a PR battering and they've reverted to their defensive mode by blaming the FAI for the fiasco. Meanwhile, the public remains in the dark.
The governing body's ten-man board met last Wednesday for almost three hours. At the end of that process, the decision was made to stick with Giovanni Trapattoni as Irish manager, provoking an outcry amongst the media and some fans alike. The origin of all this drama was the mysterious 'senior FAI source,' a type of cigarette-smoking man, quoted in the Irish Independent who said Trap would be out of a job no matter what happened in the Faroe Islands. When that didn't happen, the sports press' credibility had taken a hit and that has many of our scribes up in arms.
Accusations of gamesmanship have now been levelled at the FAI because the reading public have questioned the integrity of these stories.
In tandem with this, the media have been accused by many readers of orchestrating a witch-hunt against the manager, something journalists strenuously dismiss on various social media. Judging by the reaction of many of them after Wednesday night's news, however, you'd be hard pressed to believe they could be objective covering the Irish team in the coming months.
The RTE panel was compulsive viewing last Tuesday night. Liam Brady made an impassioned defence of Trapattoni and cited the disrespectful tone taken by some reporters quoting the use of the word 'shameless' by the Irish Independent.
The writer in question hit back at Brady on Twitter but showed a bit more humility when faced with a barrage of criticism (and no little abuse) from online posters.
The media have also questioned the FAI's stance that it was inappropriate for them to comment between the Germany and Faroe games. They argue the association could have come out and backed the manager but that ignores the simple reality that not all of the board supported retaining Trapattoni, necessitating convening a meeting.
RTE and TV3 both issued apologies last week for claiming the senior source leaking these stories was John Delaney. Some journos are up in arms at the accusation by Joe and Josephine Public that the story was made up to continue the crusade against Trapattoni.
Surely our writers must acknowledge how they are perceived by the Irish reading audience?
We consume a daily diet of British news content and TV programmes. Our tabloids are Irish versions of the same papers. Some of our broadsheets are accused with every passing day of becoming more trashy, particularly Sunday versions. An Irish reader sees 'unnamed source', and takes it with a pinch of salt. They've learned to ask questions of our media providers because they are suspicious. Whether journalists have an agenda or not is somewhat irrelevant. In the minds of the reading public, many do. It's up to reporters to convince us otherwise.
On the YBIG Football Show this week, Reuters' Philip O'Connor said we must distinguish between the British and Irish press. The problem is, for more and more Irish readers, those lines are getting blurred.
The sports hacks are beating John Delaney for his failure to portray anger at the leaking of sensitive information. It's true that in years gone by, this was how the FAI worked as vested interests vied for control of Irish football. But judging by some writers, the impression is given that they don't actually know who the source is.
Ireland's football journalists travel to games together and socialise together. Anyone who follows them on Twitter knows they interact and circle the wagons when they come in for criticism. That's why it was so surprising too see some of them revel in Tony O'Donoghue's discomfort this week for claiming Delaney was the leak. 'Egg on his face' was one term used.
No one expects the source to be named but there are very few sports writers who hint to knowing who it is. If they did, they could simply quote him again, or allude to him. Papers have not done that.
Other accusations levelled at the FAI board last week were that they were swayed by the players lobbying for the retention of the manager. In the Irish Examiner John Delaney forcefully dismissed this, stressing the players did not approach the board in any form. He also said the financial aspect of sacking Trapattoni was not an issue. The decision would be made and the financial consequences considered afterwards.
It's been a messy week for Irish football. The FAI have not come out well but not just because of some cloak and dagger story of meddling in the press. They failed to remove the manager which has provoked the ire of many disillusioned fans and their silence was deafening in the aftermath of the humiliating defeat by Germany. They allowed the media reaction to erupt without any attempt to rein it in.
The team manager Trapattoni will continue to feel the pressure if his players under perform. He has his own problems to worry about.
Our press too have taken a battering to their credibility and taking a swipe at the FAI won't really disguise that fact. If they think it does, they insult the intelligence of the people they're supposed to be writing for, the reading public.

Life of Pi
BEN KNIGHT & TRAVIS RUMMEL / Bike / Inclusive
When Jen Zeuner and Anne Keller moved to the tiny, conservative high desert town of Fruita, Colorado almost twenty years ago it was not on the map as far as mountain biking was concerned. It was a small and tight knit community without much economic vitality. Jen and Anne have left an inedible imprint on Fruita — at the outset they were on the fringe and a bit ostracized, they're now at the very heart and soul of the community. When Jen and Anne arrived, Fruita was still underground as far as a mountain bike destination, but now it's as renowned to cyclists as Moab, UT. Unlike Moab, Fruita isn't just known for it's riding – you go there to eat hot pie. Jen and Anne weren't shy about using their lesbian innuendos to sell pizza, even from the beginning. Slogans like 'friends let friends eat hot pie' and 'we snatch kisses and vice versa' were on free stickers by the cash register even when Fruita wasn't quite ready for it.Jen is a former competitive BMX rider and World Cup downhill mountain biker and Anne is a contributing photographer for Bike magazine, so when they're not slinging pizza until they literally run out of dough you'll find them out riding their favorite loops with their dogs.

Working in partnership with Revolution Bike Park in Wales, UK. Together they made a dream a reality. Starring Veronique Sandler and a collective of the best riders from around the world. "For me personally, raising the bar for women in action sport is not about separation, it is about earning our place alongside the best in the game. Whilst women's specific events and projects have a place in the industry to drive accessibility and encourage participation, it is important to me to drive inclusivity at the top of our sport and earn our equal place through skill, passion and determination, both on the bike and with a shovel in hand." – Veronique Sandler
Film Tickets
For 2019, due to popular demand, we've swapped our day film passes to individual film session tickets. This gives you full flexibility of our programme, so you can choose the exact sessions you'd like to see. More info on this decision here.
We're working hard to make our Festival fully accessible, and there are dedicated spaces reserved for wheelchair users in our venues with the exception of the Fleece Inn. Unfortunately within the Fleece Inn the cinema space is situated on an upper floor with no lift access. To ensure nobody misses out on the action, all film screenings held at the Fleece Inn, will also be held at other venues. For more information head to Festival Accessibility.
If you're wearing a lightweight, high-performance windproof or waterproof mountain garment, there's a good chance it'll be constructed using Pertex fabrics. Founded in 1979 near Burnley, the company has steadily grown from humble beginnings into an iconic fabric technology brand, creating technical fabrics mainly used in garments and sleeping bags. Being so close to its outdoor users, Pertex has increasingly chosen to communicate stories through the medium of film. Its six-part series Elemental Journeys explores stories from people whose lives are defined by wild spaces and mountain adventures. At Kendal, we're proud that Pertex is the presenting sponsor of our International Film Competition.Discover Pertex

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for selling my property at Scotts Head for an excellent price. You and your agency conducted an effective campaign which resulted in the property under contract within a month and achieving above the asking price! A stunning result for me and certainly exceeding my expectations. I am very pleased. Thanks so much for getting me an outstanding sale.
After discussing our situation with Lyndal I felt assured that my mother and the sale of our families home of 52 years was going to be treated like fine china and we were not disappointed. Her warmth and her patience during our preparations was most appreciated as was finding a buyer after only being listed on the market for one day! We both sold and bought our new property through Lyndal and in all areas she exceeded our expectations. I HIGHLY recommend her as a professional and dedicated agent!
After dealing with another, not so professional agent, we took our business to NV Property. Great people to deal with and a very professional attitude. I would highly recommend the team for getting the right results. Thanks David and the team at NV Property.

Apple's iPhone 11 Pro cameras are the best ever on a smartphone: Apple's new iPhones are here, and outside of their drastically improved batteries, and faster performance, the biggest upgrades to the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are their cameras. And boy, are they something special. The iPhone 11 now packs two cameras, one for wide-angle shots and the other for ultra-wide angle photos, while the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max get the same cameras as the iPhone 11, as well as a third telephoto camera lens.

About 175,000 visitors to Indiana this year stayed in someone else's home using Airbnb, according to a report from the company. The report also says Hoosiers hosting visitors in their homes earned a combined $20.7 million through the site.
Indianapolis welcomed about 73,000 visitors to Airbnb homes, a 256 percent growth in the past year. Statewide the home-sharing service grew 108 percent.
The state capitol tops the list of Indiana cities for most visitors and most host income earned. South Bend and Bloomington come second and third, but each with far fewer visitors and much less income. The report says about 3,600 Hoosiers are Airbnb hosts.
Home-sharing has been a controversial issue in Indiana this year. Some lawmakers attempted to pass a law that would have prohibited towns and cities from banning short-term rentals, but it didn't get enough support to pass. The issue is likely to return during the 2018 legislative session, which begins Jan. 3.

South Dakota's Vulnerable Child Protection Act Passes Committee
January 22, 2020
WoLF Board Chair Natasha Chart and Board member Kara Dansky testified today in support of the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, introduced in the South Dakota legislature by Rep. Fred Deutsch, to prevent medical harm to children who've diagnosed themselves with gender identity issues.
The measure will forbid doctors to prescribe drugs that block puberty, or cross-sex hormones, or to provide cosmetic surgery to remove healthy breasts or genitals, for children under 16.
"It's good that legislators are finally standing up to say that it's cruel to destroy children's sexual function for not fitting into sex stereotypes and gendered expectations," Chart said. "The drugs for affirming a child's self diagnosis that something is wrong with their bodies can age the endocrine system by decades, sometimes throwing them into menopause before puberty, while the harms of botched or regretted surgeries are often irreversible."
"The worst part of watching the acceleration of child transition has been knowing that many of the kids swept up in it would otherwise have grown up to be happy with their bodies. Yet people in authority have looked the other way as doctors have helped these children harm themselves. Many are same-sex attracted, are suffering from trauma, or have developmental disorders, but the organizations claiming to look out for the interests of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth, or of young people on the autism spectrum, for instance, have all simply cheered as South Dakota doctors have joined the rush to profit from this," said Dansky.
"Sterilizing children, or trying to cure psychiatric and social problems with the removal of sex organs, is a social trend that should have been left in the eugenics era," Chart said, "and hopefully this malpractice can be put to rest once again."
Today, WoLF released the report, "Eugenics: Then and Now," a historical overview of parallels between procedures offered to pediatric gender clinic patients today, with procedures used in the eugenics era towards similar populations, also on the strength of medical claims that the removal of sexual function could treat mental health difficulties and broader social problems. (Report updated Jan. 26, 2020)
"The federal government started putting coverage restrictions on the unnecessary sterilization of minors following eugenics-inspired medical abuses in 1976," said Chart. "It's very strange that doctors are now ignoring the spirit of these restrictions in private practice, claiming they can fix mental health issues in children by means of chemical castration or genital surgery. Unsupported claims of this kind have led to tragedy in the past, and minors are no more capable of consenting to permanent sterilization than they were over 40 years ago."
Prepared testimony of Natasha Chart, to the South Dakota legislature:
Hello, thank you for considering my testimony. I'm the board chair of the radical feminist organization, the Women's Liberation Front, and a longtime political progressive.
We've been told that gender identity issues are complicated, maybe beyond our understanding.
This is misdirection.
I'm a bisexual woman on the autism spectrum. When I was young, I liked dinosaurs, archaeology, and science fiction. I hated my body as puberty started. I hated the way grown men started leering at my chest. Doctors and schools didn't usually catch mild autism in girls then, either, it was hard.
But today, I might be told that my odd interests or social unhappiness, my nonconformity to stereotypes, might mean I'd been born in the wrong body. I was depressed and had few friends. I might have diagnosed myself as transgender, as so many do now, after seeing hundreds of transition testimonials on social media.
Today, girls like me are put on Lupron and sent into premature menopause as young as 12, maybe to get mastectomies soon after. Then they may need a hysterectomy by their early 20s, from the harms of testosterone acting on female organs.
We can all be sure that humanity hasn't suddenly developed a new type of child that needs their sexual function removed before adulthood.
Though sadly, I've now seen years of press coverage of girls who sound much like I was, saying they want to be boys, and damaging their bodies to prove it. Doctors shouldn't help kids take out their sadness and anger on the only bodies we can ever have.
Please vote yes to forbid the sterilization of these young people.
Prepared testimony of Kara Dansky, to the South Dakota legislature:
Good morning,
My name is Kara Dansky. I am an attorney and I serve on the board of the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF). I formerly worked for the ACLU's national office as senior counsel on criminal justice law and policy, and I am a lifelong Democrat. I am speaking today on behalf of WoLF in support of House Bill 1057, and to address the unsupported assertion that the bill is unconstitutional.
The ACLU of South Dakota has proclaimed that "It is unconstitutional to single out one group of people and categorically ban all care, no matter how medically necessary." But it is not at all obvious why this bill might be unconstitutional.
As a general matter, Americans do not have a Constitutional right to receive any particular medical procedure. For example, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Washington v. Glucksberg that physician-assisted suicide is not a fundamental liberty interest that is protected by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment.
It is clear from Supreme Court jurisprudence that mentally competent people have a constitutionally protected liberty interest in refusing unwanted medical treatment. See, for example, Cruzan v. Missouri. But in the same case, the Supreme Court noted that this right must be balanced against legitimate state interests. And, the general constitutional right to refuse treatment does not necessarily suggest that there is a corresponding right to obtain treatment.
If this bill is enacted into law, and if it is ever challenged on constitutional grounds, one question will be whether the law is protecting a legitimate state interest. In other words, does South Dakota have a legitimate interest in protecting the integrity of the bodies of minors? And the answer must be that of course it does.
Generally speaking, U.S. courts have ruled that minors have the right to consent to medical treatment under certain circumstances. But that right is not absolute; it is subject to balancing against legitimate state interests. For example, in a case called In re E.G., the Supreme Court of Illinois ruled that "mature minors" have the right to consent or refuse medical treatment, but that this right must be considered along with four state interests: preserving life, protecting the interests of third parties such as parents, preventing suicide in cases concerning the termination of life-saving care, and maintaining the ethical integrity of the medical profession. The Court did not explicitly distinguish between 16-17 year old minors and younger minors in its ruling. Whatever else one might think about putting a child on dangerous hormones and permanently altering the integrity of a child's body, surely such a practice implicates a state's interests in preserving life and maintaining the integrity of the medical profession, at a minimum.
The ACLU could be suggesting that the bill is in some way in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. But that is not true either, because self-identification as "transgender" is not a suspect class under existing Equal Protection jurisprudence.
In conclusion, I urge the members of this Committee to vote yes on House Bill 1057.

Porsche 911 Carrera S Powerkit
Porsche is offering the Powerkit, a genuine factory-fitted tuning package offered only on the Carrera S that will lifts power from 350bhp to 376bhp.
The 911 Carrera S offers a total power output of 350 hp as standard. From the moment the key is turned, the flat-six engine will set your heartbeat racing. You can also raise the pulse-rate higher with this exclusive engine conversion. Offering a maximum output of 376 hp, the results are 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and 200 km/h (124 mph) in 14.9. Top speed is raised to 186 mph.
The key feature of the Powerkit Carrera S is the optimised gas-flow characteristics on inlet and exhaust. This is achieved by means of a modified cylinderhead geometry. Other features include an aluminium intake manifold and revised exhaust manifolds with larger bores. Controlling it all is a specially uprated engine management system. The performance is matched by the sight and sound of the carbon-fibre air-filter housing.
Also included in the package is a sports exhaust system with matching sports tailpipes. All are designed for optimum throughput and therefore optimum engine performance. The exhaust system has two sound modes – normal and sport – which can be selected using a button in the cockpit.
Benefits for the driver include increased power over the entire engine speed range. The car is more responsive with a more exhilarating sound. In short: even more 911.

Looking to market your business? Considering printing custom notepads! Notepads make for great giveaways, and they are a hot commodity because guess what? Everyone always needs them! Whether you are looking to produce branded notepads for your office, or you are an artist looking to sell notepads with your designs, Alphagraphics has everything you need to get the job done.
Custom Notepad Thickness and Colors
Notepads come in a variety of sizes and sheet counts. They are padded with chipboard and glued at one edge, allowing for the sheets to tear away. Standard pads typically come with a sheet count between 25-50. We do not have set sizes for notepads however based on the production process, at least 25 sheets is recommended. Notepad sheets can be printed in two ways: digital and offset. Digitally, you can print 4-color CMYK. This allows you to use as many colors as you would like in your design. Offset, you can print using 2-3 PMS colors. Printing offset will get you the best bang for your buck when printing notepads as the cost per sheet goes down. The only constraint is your color selection. Printing offset typically works best for businesses that are looking to produce notepads that utilize their brand colors.
Custom Notepads In Any Size
Notepads can be produced in a variety of sizes, making them completely customizable! They can range from 3 x 3 to 8.5 x 11 or larger. Another thing you can consider when producing custom notepads is what paper stock you select. With a variety of stocks to choose from, you can consider different textures and colors for your custom notepads. Different colored stocks serve a great purpose especially if you are creating pads for internal purposes such as order forms, inventory forms, etc. Colored stocks can help these sheets stand out among the rest, making for better organization and efficiency within your business.
Custom Post-It Notes
Not only can Alphagraphics help you create custom notepads, but we can also assist in processing orders for custom Post-It Notes and Calendars! Post-It Notes are similar to custom notepads in that there is always a need and they are great giveaways! You can brand your Post-Its with your company info and never have to worry about needing something to jot down quick notes or messages! They are also great because they have an adhesive strip for easy application. You never have to worry about forgetting important details! Custom calendars are another great office must-have. Similar to custom notepads, calendars are padded with chipboard and glued at one edge. Here at Alphagraphics, we can also provide backings so you can turn your calendar into a desk calendar! If you are looking for print collateral to outfit your office or pass out at your next trade show or conference, reach out to your Alphagraphics representative for more info on custom notepads, Post-It Notes, calendars, and more!

Issue 4 Page 10
f you are trying to keep up with all the clues, and are trying to solve the mystery before it's revealed, this is about the time where it's going to be hard to keep up. Don't worry, that was a concious decision of mine. My brain almost exploded trying to figure all this shit out. There's like several diagrams in my binder.
Hopefully it won't be that bad though. I think I did a good job simplifing the plot. Crossing my fingers. Reason on why I am pointing this stuff out is because once I know there is a puzzle to be solved in a comic, I will obsess over it. Not sure if any of my readers are like that. A lot of people are taking this a lot more seriously than I thought they would. That's not a self attack comment, but more of a surprise. Because of the writing style I chose, I figured people wouldn't turn on into the second half of the series.
I am very impressed by some of the things people figured out with only 3 complete issues out. Clearly you are not just mindlessly reading this. You really are getting plot points I never thought would be gathered until at least issue 6.
Extra bonus points to those who can figure out what book the quote is from in this page is from. Even though it's a little obvious.

Univoltine biotype of the European corn borer moth. So far light trap numbers continue to be low. Check European Corn Borer Moth Flight Data for current data. However, I had one report of probable a probable univoltine corn borer infestation from Central MN.
Since the last newsletter we have received several heads-up for bacterial leaf streak of corn in southern MN and it has been confirmed to be in the state. If you suspect you are seeing symptoms, contact Dean Malvick (email@example.com). Dean's lab will confirm the presence of bacterial streak. We are trying to determine the distribution and potential yield impact of the pathogen in Minnesota. Might even make a distribution map at the end of the season if there are enough samples coming in to the lab.
Corn Rootworm
Western corn rootworm populations are definitely higher than previous years in some SW MN continuous corn fields.
At Lamberton, and several other locations, both CryBb1 (VT3) and corn hybrids without a Bt-RW trait have severe root damage and are producing very high numbers of beetles. Here, northern corn rootworm beetles are present but at very low levels, at least currently.
What does this mean for corn rootworm beetles in your area or fields? Nothing, other than impressing the need to scout populations to determine risk for 2018 corn. Remember, after a non-corn crop in a field's rotation, it may take several years of corn for western corn rootworms to rei-infest and reach economically damaging populations.
Start scouting now! Don't assume lodged corn is due to rootworm without checking the roots.
The painted lady butterflies can be seen in large numbers. These quick and nervous fliers can be seen drinking nectar from flowers and moisture from water puddles. While painted ladies very agile fliers, they fly low to the ground and susceptible fast moving vehicles. They are thick enough to plug a radiator in some areas. There could be a second generation produced on soybeans but these butterflies have erratic migration patterns and large numbers may move to other areas.
We will start to see larvae in August. Scout for these as you are scouting for soybean aphids and other defoliators, combining defoliation for those species actively feeding when determining economic risk. Other lepidopterans in soybeans now include green cloverworm and alfalfa caterpillar. I am also starting to see a small amount of flea beetle feeding. Nothing I have seen or heard seems threatening.
Diseases are relatively minor at this point. The occasional bouts of tropical weather we have been experiencing in many parts of the state may change that, but I wouldn't get too excited until significant fungal disease is observed. If you're planning on a fungicide, there is no reason to rush it.
Soybean aphid watch 2017
Most of the action is currently centered in some, but not all areas of NW MN. Aphid populations are present across the state but have not built to threatening levels in most.
A network of underground informants shared excellent information on soybean aphid populations. There have been a few scattered insecticide applications in parts of central MN and a very few further south. Most of these have been in small fields with wooded areas, and presumably buckthorn, nearby.
In much of Southern MN, aphid populations are low and early season colonization appeared somewhat slower than typical. Populations have built over the past week and in some areas of SC and SW MN populations have been very uniform in infestation rates and aphid age classes. This lack of hot spots indicate these fields were colonized relatively late by large numbers of immigrating aphids. It is unknown if these were produced in nearby fields, but they could have come from anywhere a large number of winged aphids were produced.
Waterhemp, and a few other species, are starting to make their appearance above soybean canopies. For future management, remember the problem fields. Pollinating waterhemp and ragweed are very attractive to corn rootworm beetles, however, we do not believe that MN populations lay eggs only in corn.
Pest Management Field Day at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center August 9
We have a Pest Management Field Day planned for August 9th from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The event will cover soybean aphid management and aphid resistant varieties, soybean agronomics and SCN, corn insects, and weed management. After the tour stops and a lunch, there will be the opportunity to discuss future research and education needs. This field day is sponsored, in part, by Minnesota Soybean. Pre-register online here to help us plan for lunch.
Happy trails,

Latest News
Incidents of rape in Police Area One, which covers western Jamaica, have increased over the corresponding period last year.
The Hanover and Westmoreland police divisions are responsible for 34 of the 59 cases of rape committed from January 1 to August 11, while the Trelawny and St James divisions have seen declines, compared to last year.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Andrew Nish, acting superintendent for the Hanover Police Division, said one of the chief perpetrators responsible for the hike in rape is dead.
"He (Andre 'Dedo' Lions) was before the court and while on bail, he attempted another rape in Negril, Westmoreland, where he was mobbed and killed by citizens," he told the WESTERN STAR. "Now that the main perpetrator of these crimes is no longer in the picture, we should be able to curb the incidents of rape in the parish supported by our ongoing operations, coupled with our sensitisation programmes throughout the community."
According to data provided by the Corporate Communications Unit, as at August 11 this year, eight cases of rape have been recorded in Hanover, six more than the same period last year.
Westmoreland, which is reportedly experiencing very high levels of physical and sexual abuse cases against children, has 26 such cases being reported to the police, three more than the corresponding period the previous year.
Trelawny is celebrating a 73 per cent drop with only four cases so far, five cases were reported last year.
St James, which has been operating under an ongoing state of public emergency since January 18, has seen 21 cases of rape since the start of the year, four less than in 2017 at the same period.

DESI's 5000 Eyes Open as Kitt Peak Telescope Prepares to Map Space and Time
Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument nears completion
DESI's 5000 spectroscopic "eyes" can cover an area of sky approximately 38 times larger than the full moon, as seen in this overlay of DESI's focal plane on the night sky (top). Each of the robotically controlled eyes can fix a fiber-optic cable on a single galaxy or star to gather its light. The green dot marks the location of a single fiber positioner. In this first light spectrum captured by DESI, the light gathered from a small region in the Triangulum Galaxy, Messier 33, by a single fiber-optic cable is dispersed into a spectrum (bottom) that reveals emission lines. The lines both encode the elements present in the galaxy and aid in gauging the galaxy's distance.

A 3D map of the Universe that will probe the nature of dark energy draws one step closer
A new instrument on the 4-m Mayall telescope has opened its array of thousands of fiber-optic "eyes" to the cosmos and successfully captured the light from distant galaxies. The milestone marks the beginning of final testing for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is poised to begin creating the most detailed map of the Universe ever undertaken. The Mayall telescope is located at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), which is operated by the National Science Foundation's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab). DESI is supported by the Department of Energy, NSF and others.
Mapping to Understand Dark Energy
Beginning early next year, DESI will embark on a five-year mission to map the cosmos. Its goal: to chart the positions and distances of 35 million galaxies spread across 1/3 of the sky and over cosmic time, as far back as 11 billion years ago. DESI will also study 10 million stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The undertaking will tackle one of the most puzzling and profound problems in physics: the nature and physics of dark energy, an unknown form of energy that is currently understood to permeate the Universe and accelerate its expansion.
To measure the distances to galaxies, DESI takes the fingerprint of a galaxy by measuring its spectrum: the light from individual galaxies is dispersed into fine bands of color to measure a galaxy's redshift and its distance from Earth. To measure the distances to millions of galaxies, DESI is highly multiplexed and employs state-of-the-art technology. Robotic positioners automatically point DESI's fiber-optic eyes at preselected sets of galaxies, 5000 at a time, and by measuring their spectra, gauge how much the Universe expanded as their light traveled to Earth. In ideal conditions, DESI can study more than 100,000 galaxies a night.
"After a decade in planning and R&D, installation and assembly, we are delighted that DESI can soon begin its quest to unravel the mystery of dark energy," said DESI Director Michael Levi of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the lead institution for DESI's construction and operations. "Most of the Universe's matter and energy are dark and unknown, and next-generation experiments like DESI are our best bet for unraveling these mysteries," Levi added. "I am thrilled to see this new experiment come to life."
A Venerable Telescope at the Forefront of Discovery
The installation of DESI at the 46-year-old Mayall telescope, begun in February 2018, marks the Mayall's successful transformation from an "all-purpose research tool" to more a specialized facility at the forefront of technology and discovery.
"With DESI we are combining a modern instrument with a venerable old telescope to make a state-of-the-art survey machine," said Lori Allen, Director of KPNO at NOIRLab. The Lab, created recently from the unification of National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), Gemini Observatory, and LSST operations, is the preeminent US center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy.
Today's surveys of many millions of objects require large fields of view — the ability to study large areas of sky in a single pointing — and large, heavy equipment.
"Despite its age, the well-maintained Mayall telescope is the perfect platform for DESI," said David Sprayberry, KPNO Site Director for DESI. "Because it was originally designed for a wide field, the Mayall's optical design was easily adapted to the very wide field-of-view needed for DESI. The telescope is also sturdy enough to carry DESI's massive weight."
The DESI instrument weighs about 11 tons. It also has a field-of-view of 8 square degrees, or approximately 40 times the area of the full moon.
Teamwork and Technology
The DESI project and the installation of the DESI instrument is as much about teamwork as it is about technology. The DESI collaboration includes nearly 500 researchers at 75 institutions in 13 countries.
"The DESI instrument is complex and one-of-a-kind. It would never have been possible without a large and capable collaboration, with components coming from throughout the US and Europe. It is very exciting to see this instrument come together almost flawlessly, thanks to the close cooperation of the many remote teams involved," said Parker Fagrelius, KPNO's Observing Operations Supervisor for DESI.
Over the past 18 months, a multitude of DESI components were shipped to Kitt Peak from institutions around the globe and installed on the telescope.
These components include a set of six large lenses packaged in a steel barrel, which has been installed above the telescope's primary mirror, giving the instrument its expansive field of view. The lenses, each about a meter across, were successfully tested in April.
Another major component is DESI's focal plane, which sits at the top of the telescope and carries the 5000 robotic positioners that swivel in a choreographed "dance" to select individual galaxies and stars for study.
Most recently arrived are DESI's spectrographs, eight of which have been installed, with the final two arriving before year's end. Approximately 240 km (150 miles) of fiber-optic cabling connects the focal plane at the top of the telescope with DESI's spectrographs located beneath the telescope.
A Powerhouse Engine of Discovery
Although it was designed to study dark energy, DESI will also make unexpected discoveries, because the spectral "fingerprints" of stars and galaxies that DESI will collect encode much more information than is needed to carry out the DESI project.
"DESI is perfectly designed for the exploration of the unknown. Among the millions of galaxies and stars DESI will study, there are rare, perhaps one-of-a-kind, astronomical sources, some completely unanticipated, that await discovery," said Arjun Dey (KPNO), Head of Observing Operations for DESI. By exploring the cosmos on this scale, DESI may also uncover new phenomena and perhaps even new physics, similar to how dark energy itself was discovered.
"Discovering the unexpected — that's the most exciting part of the whole thing for me," Dey said.
