Who's Playing What? - Scud - 01-30-2019
I'm currently playing a couple of WFs, a WWI mod game and a Divided Ground (getting ready for the Viet Nam game). Anyone playing ME? RS?
RE: Who's Playing What? - Oldbones - 01-30-2019
I am playing EFII and WF against one opponent and that works fine, I also play against another opponent in EFII and that's it. Three games which takes up an evening. So I have only a couple of opponents but I consider that quite busy. I think if I was to play more than that I would lose track of whats what.
I have played RS against the AI but not against a human, perhaps soon, the terrain always looks worse than the enemy in RS, to me any way.
I am still finding out the ways to actually compete, for instance LOS, Combined arms, Recon etc. That's the general stuff. Also I have recently found out how well a platoon of German engineers can do against tanks in city and town hexes.
BT7 tanks, are amazing. I have also found out that the correct tanks against infantry can smash infantry to bits.
Recon, I used to move them to the point of contact, but that is the hard and costly way to see what the enemy is doing etc. I try not to do that now, sit watch, move and repeat.
RE: Who's Playing What? - Big Ivan - 01-30-2019
Quite busy with JTCS actually which is a rarity for me.
PBEM's open right now, 7 usually have 3-4. Don't know why so many could be dementia setting in...
One going with WWI mod testing a design with Mike the fabulous Warhorse!
Four going in West Front. One of those against the wild, wonderful and new resident to the Great State of Oregon...Scud!
One in Rising Sun in a tourney going at WGCG.
One in East Front II against none other than the amazing never boring Herr Straube Laufer.
Against the A/I: Barbarossa Campaign in EFII when I get to it. Last time I was there leaves were on the trees.
Still messing around with designs in CSME. Looking also to tackle against the A/I in either Nir's Dilemma or Sharon's Quagmire. Gutsy, I know, but tanks banging away at each other has an effect on me.
It must be my Croatian Slovak heritage.
Waiting patiently on CS'Nam but getting grumpy and antsy in the process.
RE: Who's Playing What? - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-30-2019
I've become a light weight. Only two games going.
One against a long time friend from Texas, 1925Frank and the other my new/old friend from Ohio, ItB.
I miss Eric Bonner. He was a consistent and fun opponent. God rest his soul.
Mostly play EFII and West Front. I will play RS if challenged. Have the WWI mod on my computer but have not had much chance to play around with it.
As, most of you know I gave away my ME and I honestly don't know if I will get into Vietnam or the new East Front series.
I still do not like the direction Matrix is taking CS. But, to each his own?
RE: Who's Playing What? - zap - 01-31-2019
Usually, I would have more EF WF games going as it is one WF team game going maybe after my home is sold I'll be in a better mind set. The ups and downs of the sale process has put me in a funk.
RE: Who's Playing What? - Jason Petho - 01-31-2019

Thanks Ed for the well wishes. My relator called me today just informed me the house appraised for what we asked for it and the buyer agreed so we are in escrow until the end of February. 90% done. I will celebrate when the deal is finalized.

Divya shares if her heart valve was repaired or replaced during open-heart surgery.
Thankfully, they repaired it. It was in a fairly degenerated state because of the pressure on the heart, because of the congenital heart condition, but Dr. deGuzman repaired it. And I am grateful for that.

True or False- All Green Plant Are Good?
It's fairly common to think that all plants growing are good, but taking a closer look you may find intruders within your native forest. Non-native plants are unfortunately becoming commonplace for most landscapes and without management can wreak havoc on our natural landscapes and ecosystems.
Non-native (alien, exotic) species are ones that have been introduced by people, from other continents, ecosystems, or habitats to places where they don't occur and would not likely have been dispersed to by wind, water, wildlife or other natural means. Invasive plants compete for limited natural resources including soil, water, light, nutrients and space. They displace native plants, replace wildlife food sources with exotic plants that are inedible, toxic, other otherwise harmful, draw pollinators away from native plants, hybridize with native species, push rare species closer to extinction and cause an overall reduction in natural biodiversity." –Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas (National Park Service-U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
In other words, they are throwing our natural forest ecosystems off balance and must be managed in order to allow native species to thrive. Its takes time and diligence to keep these intruders from taking over each one needs specific management in order to control them properly.
Autumn Olive, is an easily identifiable showy shrub that is a prolific berry producer and is spread by birds. This plant can be managed trough pulling up baby plants, continuously mowing and cutting/painting stump with systemic herbicide on mature plants.

Easy right? Well, there's a lot more than meets the eye with invasive plants. Many are not as showy and easy to see at first. For example, oriental bittersweet which starts out as a tiny vine, but then grows into a large aggressive vine. When you see it continuously pull out by the roots and/or treat with a systemic herbicide. One trick is not to leave the newly pulled vine on the ground, because it may re-root! There is an American bittersweet vine.
The bottom line is that not all plants are created equal and that not all green is good. Take the time to learn how to identify invasive plants and manage them so that our native greenery can flourish!
A great local resource is the Blue Ridge PRISM (Partnership for Invasive Species Management)

The film that is being said, "If David Lynch and David Cronenberg came together to craft a gory, psychological mind bender," Starry Eyes, is getting a lot of attention and being called one of the best horror films of 2014. If you missed it, that's okay. The film will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray on February 3rd, 2015. Read the details from the Press Release below to gather some info on the film and some special features to be included and a peek at the cover art as well!
From the Press Release:
An aspiring actress finally gets a role to die for in STARRY EYES, "one of the most exciting independent horror films to come out in a long time" (Michele Galgana, Twitch). The nerve-shattering film comes to Digital Download, Blu-ray and DVD from MPI Home Video on February 3, 2015.
Determined to make it as an actress in Hollywood, Sarah Walker (Alex Essoe, Passion Play, Boy Toy) spends her days working a dead-end job, enduring petty friendships with other struggling artists and competing actors, and going on countless casting calls in hopes of catching her big break. After a series of strange auditions, Sarah lands the leading role in a film from a mysterious production company. But this opportunity comes with some bizarre conditions that will transform her both mentally and physically into something beautiful … and altogether terrifying.
From the producer of Cheap Thrills and Jodorowsky's Dune, Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch's STARRY EYES is an occult tale of ambition, possession and the true cost of fame.
In addition to Essoe, the cast includes Noah Segan (Looper, Brick, The Picture of Dorian Gray), Pat Healy (The Innkeepers, Cheap Thrills, Compliance) and Amanda Fuller (The Brittany Murphy Story, Cheap Thrills).
Entertainment Weekly's Clark Collis called STARRY EYES "a skillful combination of occult thriller and Cronenbergian gruesome-fest. Essoe gives a star-making performance." "One of the best horror films of the year. … Brilliant and brutal," said Meredith Borders of Badass Digest. "Terrifying," said Time's Michael Roffman. "If David Lynch and David Cronenberg came together to craft a gory, psychological mindbender, it might be STARRY EYES."
Special features on the Blu-ray and DVD include commentary with writer-directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer (who previously teamed on Absence) and producer Travis Stevens; 10 deleted scenes; a music video by the film's composer, Jonathan Snipes; Alex Essoe's audition video; a behind-the-scenes photo gallery, and the theatrical trailer.

At PwC in CEE, November and December were a time of intense recruitment to the 3rd edition of Startup Collider. Already in mid-January, we could proudly say that we are overwhelmed with the number of startups that applied for this year's edition and their impressive solutions and products.
In approximately 11 weeks, we received almost 200 unique applications. The vast majority were startups from CEE, a handful from Western Europe and even the US, one came from Asia. More than half of the startups that had sent us their applications qualified for further analysis by our experts, all of these incredibly interesting products, solutions and services.
"We see huge demand for innovation – there can be no question about that. This is our 3rd edition. Each year, we analyze the rapidly changing expectations of our clients in CEE and worldwide, their business strategies, as well as these of startup founders. We go out to the market serving as a partner for both sides. We welcome change and, therefore, we adapt the PwC Startup Colliders formula to market reality and do our best to maximize the potential for business success built on relationships between startups and corporates" says Jolanta Kokosińska, Partner at PwC and the person in charge of innovation and R&D at PwC Poland who overlooks the Startup Collider program.
Were there any surprises?
"First of all, we were surprised to receive so many applications, but this is great news for us of course. It means that startups recognize the value of our program and what they can gain from cooperating with us. We were also surprised to see how much the startup community has grown over the last 12 months. Their progress is amazing and we couldn't be happier about it. Lastly, we were surprised to see how many different sectors of the economy the applications covered – way more than we expected." ads Jolanta Kokosińska.
The startup ecosystem is indeed growing (and growing up) quickly. Every year, the startups' solutions become more mature and advanced. They remain visionary and disruptive, raising strong interest of top market players seeking new ideas on growing their business. According to the incoming 2019 PwC European Start-up Survey already today, nearly half of the interviewed startup founders co-operate with established business partners.
A sense of idealism and a hope for a brighter future are there too when looking at the innovation coming from this year's cohort of the Startup Collider scale-up program. Almost 100 startups were chosen for careful and thorough analyses by PwC experts. Every solution is now being broken down to its prime components by three experts for a broader perspective on the potential for scalability.
"What we're doing is rather difficult, because we are increasingly often dealing with already experienced startup founders who were able to establish their position on their respective local markets. There are no bad ideas within the group we're evaluating. Unfortunately, we cannot accept all of them to our program," explains Jolanta Kokosińska. "Of course, potential for growth and applicability are essential, but it's not always enough. The technologies developed by the startups that will begin their scaling adventure with us must correspond with the market's technological needs, among them, those of our clients and partners. Otherwise, at the end of the day, we would have to tell our new friends that they're on their own and we have nothing to offer. This is not us. We never do that."
Acquisition & sales is still perceived by startup founders as the biggest challenge for the future development of their companies. At PwC, through our worldwide network, we provide startups with access to thousands of companies based in CEE and beyond. Moreover, thanks to our internal startup exchange program, we cooperate closely with other PwC startup-oriented initiatives run, for example in the UK or Germany. This gives startups from the region the potential to grow elsewhere, the possibility to be introduced and recognized on markets outside the CEE. The mission of PwC Startup Collider is to be the link between corporations and disruption, between large enterprises and innovation, between multinationals and inventors. We approach startups the same way we treat our corporate partners – we treat them as equals. This approach is fundamental and judging from the growing recognition of our program in CEE and beyond, we see that it pays off.
The market most often focuses on the question why startups should cooperate with corporations and participate in various programs. But bigger players benefit from cooperation with startups too. Startups offer them a fresh look on a number of issues which in return allows for streamlining of processes or improvement of quality of services.
"Every year, we review hundreds of applications of startups from the CEE region that would like to accelerate and scale up with us. These are bright, driven, young people who believe they can tweak reality and build a better future. As a veteran of the innovation ecosystem and a witness to tremendous technological advances, I can only say that it's fantastic to live in this brave new world," says Jolanta and adds "This will be a terrific edition of PwC Startup Collider. I have no doubt it will. CEE is an innovation powerhouse."

Kem Cetinay's ex girlfriend has moved on
She was once one half of Love Island power couple – Kem and Amber, after the pair scooped the 50K prize on the show last year – but fast forward a few months and Amber Davies has got herself a new beau.
The starlet is said to be 'smitten' with Gary Lineker's son Tobias, who is currently studying at Oxford Brookes University.
According to a source: 'Amber and Tobias hit it off from their first meeting, so he made the first move and invited her out for a Valentine's Day dinner.
'They had a lovely evening and have been on a few dates since then. He seems really smitten with Amber. She hasn't met his parents, but that's something he'd like to happen.'
If you think Gary Lineker's hunky son has got a familiar face, it's probably because he bares a striking resemblance to Amber's ex – Kem Cetinay.
The pair called time on their romance back in December and blamed their hectic work schedules – including Kem's Dancing on Ice training regime – for the split.
And, when Amber was spotted getting cosy with Pete Wicks just weeks later, Kem admitted he was 'gutted'.
'I'm not going to lie when I say that it does really hurt. I am gutted. It does make me sad. It is hard to see,' he said. 'I am not going to sit here and say it is fine — I still have feelings for her — but at the end of the day, if she wants to date a celeb then I have to accept it. There's nothing I can say.'
We wonder what he'll make of her latest squeeze…

With literally hundreds of guides on how to pitch a tarp and the huge number of configurations posssible we didn't want to add another guide - check out some useful links at the bottom of the article for different ways to rig your tarp and all the ins 'n' outs of Tarpology (A real word I promise!!)
We thought we could put together some tips we have found to make pitching a little easier.
First of all - a couple of ways to attach your tarp.
Using a split twig to grab the edge -
Simply split a small stick and slot part of the tarp in the middle, followed by wrapping the twig with cord to clamp down on the tarp. Check out the pics below -
Another way is to use a small stuff sack larks footed through the loops on the tarp, any bag with a drawcord could be used for this. Firstly loop the drawcord around the tarps attachment, then place your pole/paddle/tree in the bag and pull the drawcord tight -
Next some simple knots -
Using a loop and threading back through the loop itself after going aound a tree or similar anchor you can secure one end of a taught line quickly -
Applying a friction knot called a Prussik you can pull your tarp tight quickly - there are many versions but two simple ones to use are the 'Classic Prussik' -
Or the French Prussik -
By attaching the end to a carabiner then to your tarp, or by looping it through and then tying the ends directly on you can cut down on the amount of equipment you are carrying.Make sure you use whatever equipment you would usually have with you, this means when it is raining and cold you don't have to think about it!

Modern Cartridge Case Manufacturing Methods

A new study indicates that a gluten-free diet may ease symptoms of schizophrenia. This is seemingly an unbelievable connection between diet and mental health. It is something I have actually head of this before from a psychiatrist who treats her patients without prescription medication but with therapy, nutrition, and exercise. She has reported on some amazing results, including when she gets patients off of eating wheat. This study was presented at the 2019 Congress of the Schizophrenia International Research Society on April 11-14.
In this study the authors examined only a total of 16 people. They placed 7 in the treatment group and 9 in a control group. The treatment group had a gluten-free diet and the control had an unrestricted diet. Both groups where on the same medication for schizophrenia prior to the study. The gluten-free group was found to have a decrease in the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms including; anhedonia, avolition, blunting, and alogia. Only one of the nine patients who were on the gluten-containing diet experienced at least a 30% decrease in the SANS total score, compared with four of the seven patients on the gluten-free diet. These results where impressive, enough, for the authors to be excited that a non-drug "treatment" could impact schizophrenia so much. They are presently recruiting a larger group of patients for a bigger study to confirm their findings.
A key component to this study is that, this is not for all people who suffer from schizophrenia. The authors note that in about 30% of all patients with schizophrenia there is elevated levels of serum antibodies to gluten, specifically antigliadin antibodies (AGA.) The antigliadin antibody is not related to the antibodies seen in celiac disease, which affects roughly 1% of the overall population. At the end of the 5 week study, AGA IgG levels had decreased by 34% in the gluten-free group vs 16% in those who consumed a diet containing gluten. Patients in the gluten-free group reported less abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, reflux, and indigestion, as noted on the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale.
This study is promising for what it could mean in the treatment of people with schizophrenia. In the AGA levels, these authors found a measure to determine who might benefit the most from a gluten-free diet and also are in the process of confirming that diet could ease their symptoms. Wouldn't it be great if something as small as eliminating wheat from the diet could improve mental health?

More about Annunciation
- All

The Annunciation announces more than the immaculate conception of Jesus, it's a work that heralds da Vinci's artistic coming-of-age.
Painted by Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea del Verrocchio at Verrocchio's workshop (and no, he didn't make puppets there, but, perhaps suspiciously, he was the premier sculptor of his day). The painting depicts the angel Gabriel informing the virgin Mary she will carry the lord's son. For Renaissance painters, this was a typical scene, almost something you could not escape doing at least once in your career. It's kinda like drawing a cat with oversized whiskers in preschool.
There's no cat in this painting, however, and if there was, it would probably chase after Gabriel whose spread wings are more bird-like than angelic. Still, there are a lot of things worth noting. Gabriel holds a Madonna lily, a flower symbolic of Mary's purity. His hair also falls off his head like a tangled waterfall in the best way possible. Mary leafs through a large tome, likely the bible. Funnily enough, she might be reading the passage from Isaiah which says a virgin will bear a son. Talk about a book hitting home.
The composition of the piece is also quite telling. In eastern Orthodox depictions, Gabriel is placed on the right, whereas in the West he would be on the left, as da Vinci and Verrocchio prove here. It also tells of da Vinci's immaturity as an artist, as he was only in his early twenties at the production of this painting. If you compare the various angles of the walls, such as the one behind Mary's head, to the railing behind Gabriel, the space begins to collapse. And just why is the bed inside the room behind Mary so high off the ground? She would need stilts to get into that thing.
Fortunately for da Vinci, he had a lot of time to perfect his craft. Verrocchio, on the other hand, was already getting on in his years. He was da Vinci's master after all. If anything, this painting the foreshadowing of Leonardo da Vinci growing into his craft.

Here is what Wikipedia says about Annunciation (Leonardo)
Annunciation is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dating from circa 1472–1475. It is housed in the Uffizi gallery of Florence, Italy. Leonardo might have finished the Annunciation in his early twenties.
The subject matter is drawn from Luke 1.26-39 and depicts the angel Gabriel, sent by God to announce to a virgin, Mary, that she would miraculously conceive and give birth to a son, to be named Jesus, and to be called "the Son of God" whose reign would never end. The subject was very popular for artworks and had been depicted many times in the art of Florence, including several examples by the Early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico. The details of its commission and its early history remain obscure.
In 1867, following Gustav Waagen methods, Baron Liphart identified this Annunciation, newly arrived in the Uffizi Gallery from the church of San Bartolomeo a Monte Oliveto in Florence, as by the young Leonardo, still working in the studio of his master, Andrea del Verrocchio. Before Liphart the painting had been attributed to Domenico Ghirlandaio.

Originally posted on The Vacaville Reporter: As some families are packing for their summer vacations, others are worried about how they are going to put enough food on the table for their children. During the school year, over 65,000 low-income children in Contra Costa and Solano counties receive free or subsidized lunches.
Students receive their mid-day meals through the National School Lunch Program. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and many schools have breakfast and snack programs as well.
These programs benefit children, parents and even teachers, as it is difficult to teach hungry students. Children (and adults) lack focus and energy when their bodies are not being fueled properly, making it hard to learn and retain information.
The USDA also runs the Summer Lunch Program, which provides funding and food so schools can continue providing lunch over the summer break. Unfortunately, in most districts, while there may be a Summer Lunch Program, there aren't summer school programs in session to draw children to the school grounds.
The creative minds in each district's food service program have come up with ways to continue providing food to hungry kids over the summer. Some schools have mobile food trucks that go to parks in low-income areas where children gather and they provide them with meals. Other schools provide meals at public libraries, where children often spend their summer days. School districts want to reach students at these common summertime gathering areas, so they can provide the children with healthy lunches. These methods help, but they aren't reaching all the children in need.
One of the challenges that schools face is that, in some neighborhoods, parents do not want their children walking alone to a summer meal site. Because of USDA regulations, a parent that accompanies a child to a distribution site is not able to eat a meal. In many cases, if the child has a little sibling that is too young to attend school, they also have to go without food. In some cases, parents and siblings are not even allowed to sit with the student while the student eats their lunch. Obviously these regulations discourage, rather than encourage, participation in the Summer Lunch Program.
We all know how important it is for children to receive proper nutrition on a consistent basis. Their bodies and brains are developing and food is essential. Skipping meals on a regular basis can have long-term detrimental effects.
To encourage an increase in participation in the Summer Lunch Program, the Food Bank is working on a demonstration project this summer. It is funded by the Y&H Soda Foundation, an organization that supports nonprofit organizations committed to the well-being of the underserved. This project will allow us to pay for meals that parents and siblings eat when they bring their school-age child to a Summer Lunch Program site. If we can show that the Summer Lunch Program can be a positive family meal, we hope to initiate a broader discussion about the benefits Summer Lunch can give when we help provide food to families in need.

He joined Cleveland in 2010, starting all 16 games for the first time in his career while catching 68 passes for a then career-best 763 yards. Watson played for the Browns through 2012 before playing for the New Orleans Saints. In 2015, while with the Saints, Watson had a career year. He started all 16 games, caught a career-best 74 passes and also set a personal-best with 825 yards. His six touchdowns tied a career-high that he set with the Patriots in 2007.
After a torn Achilles sidelined him for the 2016 season, he rebounded with the Baltimore Ravens in 2017, catching 61 balls for 522 yards before playing for the Saints again in 2018. Watson retired following the 2018 season but a few months later came out of retirement to rejoin the New England Patriots. In 2018 he was a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. That same year, Watson came out with a book titled "Under Our Skin: Getting Real About Race – and Getting Free from the Fears and Frustrations That Divide Us".

1999-2003 [RED]: We rode 2 motorcycles through 50 countries on 6 continents. Oh, and we unknowingly nearly doubled a Guinness World Record along the way. See more at www.UltimateJourney.com
2008-2014 [BLUE]: We purchased a KTM 950 Adventure and began taking 2 months off every winter for travel. At the end of each trip, we'd find a place to park it until we returned 10 months later. In 2014 we sold the bike in Colombia, and 3 owners later a guy from Lafayette, Colorado bought it and he drove it back!
2015-2018 [YELLOW]: Ready for something different, we purchased our 2006 Land Rover Defender in Cape Town, South Africa and kitted it for safari. First we did the Cape to Cairo run, followed by a West Africa loop.
2019 [GREEN]: After converting the Defender to a camper, continue in "Walkabout Year" and travel through Europe for the spring-fall, then rent a flat in Spain/Portugal for the winter to see what that's like.
2020. [WHITE]: At this point, we're considering a trip along the Silk Road trail.

Are you familiar with your adrenal glands? If not' you should be! They sit on top of the kidneys and release hormones and androgens to help you cope with stress. Unfortunately' chronic stress can tire out the adrenal glands and may prevent them from working properly. That's where a supplement like Designs for Health's Adrenal Complex can help.
In order to prevent adrenal burnout' your body needs the proper nutritional support. One of the most important ingredients in Adrenal Complex is the tissue-specific glandular material. The adrenal glandulars contain vitamins' minerals' and protein-like substances that serve as messengers to relevant tissues. The adrenal tissues get the message that they need to strengthen and repair the glands' since the glandulars are identical to those already in the body. This supplement contains only glandular materials from countries that have been certified as BSE-free; BSE' or bovine spongiform encephalopathy' is a fatal disease in cattle that's known as mad cow disease when contracted by humans. The glandulars are also freeze-dried to promote freshness.
Each capsule also provides an array of B-vitamins' which serve as enzyme cofactors to promote balanced levels of stress hormones. These B-vitamins include vitamin B-1' vitamin B-5' and riboflavin. Most of them are included in their most bioavailable form' allowing your body to absorb and benefit from them more quickly.
Vitamin C and N-acetyl tyrosine are also present to promote the regeneration of essential catecholamine hormones; since they are released into the bloodstream during stressful periods' chronic stress may deplete your natural supply. Finally' Adrenal Complex by Designs for Health contains the proprietary NatureFolate™ blend' which provides active folates.
Designs for Health was founded in 1989 by a team of clinical nutritionists' and puts science first when creating products and formulas. Ever since then' the company has focused on manufacturing dietary supplements that contain quality' natural ingredients at effective dosages. It strives to provide the best products for health care professionals and patients.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient dragon Bahamut wrought havoc upon the land of Mistarcia, a world where both gods and demons live amongst mankind. Working together to prevent the world's destruction, the rival deities barely managed to seal Bahamut, agreeing to split the key between them so that the dragon would remain eternally imprisoned. With the world safe from the destruction of Bahamut, it is business as usual for bounty hunters like Favaro Leone. Living a laid-back, self-serving lifestyle, the amoral Favaro goes about his work while on the run from fellow bounty hunter Kaisar Lidfard, a righteous man who swears vengeance upon Favaro. However, Favaro's carefree life is thrown into chaos when he meets Amira, a mysterious woman who holds half of the key to the world's fragile peace.

Ask any birder what birds eat and you'll hear "seeds, fruits, and insects." But during reproduction, arguably the most important weeks of a bird's life, 96% of North American terrestrial birds eat insects and other arthropods. Why? Because insects are great food — high in protein and rich in high-energy fats.
But which insects, specifically, are they eating? Surprisingly, we don't really know. The best studies so far only classify orders of insects. But such broad categories assume that all caterpillars, for instance, are equally valuable to particular birds species.
So… what do birds really eat? And what do they feed their nestlings? Entomology & Wildlife Ecology-focused graduate student Ashley Kennedy set up cameras on 40 bluebird nest boxes in Delaware to find out. The resulting video, produced with Justin Bredlau, narrated by Jessica Bray, and conducted in Doug Tallamy's Lab at the University of Delaware, is one of the five finalists in the Entomological Society of America's 2018 YouTube Your Entomology Contest. And the answer?
Caterpillars were identified as the dominant prey group, followed by orthopterans and spiders. Improving our understanding of bluebird diet is vital for conservation efforts.
Help Kennedy and her colleagues with the science! Submit your photos of birds with insects in their beaks at whatdobirdseat.com.Next, watch more food chain videos and these videos of baby birds: A mother blackbird feeds brand new baby birds in their nest, up close with a Carolina Wren as it feeds its nesting baby birds, hummingbird hatchlings in their nest with mother Rosie, and how do baby flamingos become pink?

The Best Surf Spots El Cotillo has to offer are listed down below. These three spots are must-knows when going surfing in Fuerteventura. Are you not an experienced surfer yet? Consider first taking some surf lessons to make sure that you feel secure and familiar with some of the surf spots in Fuerteventura. Do you feel a bit more secure about going surfing without an instructor?
Check out the three best surf spots El Cotillo has to offer below!
1. El Cotillo
El Cotillo is probably the most popular beach break in Fuerteventura. It is a long sandy beach with peaks offering left and right waves. It is a perfect spot for intermediate surfers, but can also be used for beginner surfers – the long white water waves are ideal to set the first surfing steps. It is not necessary to paddle or swim out, which makes it an ideal location to start surfing at. It can be a bit crowded since surf schools tend to come here often. The spot works on a westerly swell and is offshore in an east wind. El Cotillo Beach Break is definitely one of the best surf spots El Cotillo has to offer.
Tips: Lock your car and hide your key properly, thieves tend to operate on cliff car park.
Best Tide: Mid tide
2. Playa de Esquinzo
Playa de Esquinzo is a small bay located south of El Cotillo. This spot is usually less crowded than El Cotillo since it is slightly further away from Corralejo. The surf is reliable, but the waves tend to be flat during summer. The best wind direction is from the west, and waves at the beach break both left and right.
How to get there: It takes about 40 minutes to get to Esquinzo from Corralejo. From El Cotillo, just drive on the parking lot situated on the left of the street. The parking lot leads to a dirt road into the dessert which lies parallel to the coast. Follow the rocky trail for 4km until you see a white building on the right. Take the next dirtroad to the right after you have spotted the white building. The trail leads to a plateau where you can park your car. You can see the spot from the plateau – it is a bay with a beautiful sand beach.
It is recommended to have a 4×4 car when going to this surf spot, since the rocks can completely mess up your tires.
Best Tide: High Tide
3. Spew Pits
Spew Pits is a spot solely for advanced surfers. This spot usually has waves, but it tends to be flat during summer. The offshore winds are from the east. It is a good place to check out if the north shore is too cross shore or flat. It is located north of the Cotillo harbor. You can check out the best local surfers riding nice tubes in this spot, but don't go here when you are not a very advanced surfer – It is a very dangerous wave, powerful in shallow water with a reef/rocky bottom. Many surfers go here with a board, but leave without one, this wave snaps anything it sees.

Tribute hosted the successful, first ever Fin Free Toronto fundraiser event September 14th at Ultra to launch the United Conservationists campaign in support of the proposed legislation to ban shark fin in the city of Toronto. Boasting a crowd well over 600 fans, some of the fundraiser's notables included Toronto City Councilor Kristyn Wong-Tam, Canadian actors Tattiawna Jones, Paula Brancati, Polly Shannon, Andrew Lewis and executive producer Joni Coquet.
Music guests such as the beautiful and talented Mia Martina performed live, singing her No. 1 worldwide hit "Stereo Love"; Danny Fernandes rocked the crowd with his hit single "Take Me Away" and in closing, Mia and the ever-popular Massari performed the duet "Latin Moon."
Additional musicians who also came in support of the Fin Free event were JRDN "U can have it all" and Dru, best known for his song "Runnin." Deejay Shine, known for working with artists Nelly Furtado and Jully Black, and Toronto DJ Lokei kept the crowd moving all night. International headlining DJ James Doman, direct from Los Angeles, closed the night with a set from his UK inspired house remixes. The night included a live body painting show by Natasha Kudashkina, featuring model/actress Erica Cox.
Sharkwater director Rob Stewart and his revolutionary team, the United Conservationists, raised the awareness of the impact shark finning has on our future. Taking centre stage mid-evening, Rob Stewart unveiled his upcoming film, Revolution, and encouraged supporters to donate the needed funds to continue the quest to make all of Canada fin free.

If you are a serious gamer, you will know that you have to commit to it if you want to excel. That means investing in quality hardware and peripherals right across the board, taking in not only the best gaming mouse UK but also the best gaming keyboards UK. There is no point investing a four-figure sum in a desktop or one of the best gaming laptops if you are going to use a cheapo five-buck mouse for your gaming. But how to find the best gaming mouse? For newcomers this is not an easy question to answer.
The good news is that there are a host of tech manufacturers that are active in the area of developing the best gaming mouse UK at a range of price points.

Best Gaming Mouse UK Buyer's Guide & Reviews
Our team has looked at some of the best peripherals available today, and compiled the following buyer's guide and reviews of the best gaming mouse appliances.
1. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – SteelSeries Rival 300
The Steel Series Rival 700 has become a firm favourite among hardline members of the e-gaming fraternity worldwide. Its innovative modular design, OLED display and RGB lighting is complemented by its tactile nature, as the only mouse on our list that vibrates, while the mouse is also completely customisable to suit any need. It narrowly misses out on 100pc perfection only because it doesn't have an ambidextrous design that would be entirely comfortable for lefties as well as right-handed gamers.Check Price >
2. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Asus ROG Spatha
This extraordinary gamers mouse from Asus ROG is notable for its beautifully solid, robust design. Despite its rugged and solid look, it is one of the most user-friendly items on this best gaming mouse roundup. It's extremely customisable, incredibly comfortable to hold and easy to use, looks amazing with its RGB lighting, and is choc-full of hardware and software features. While it's definitely on the pricy side, and won't suit everyone due to its chunky size, this is definitely one of the best gaming mouse appliances available.Check Price >
3. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Razer Ouroboros
While there is none of the pretty RGB lighting features of more modern models, the Razer Ouroboros offers a distinct advantage over some of the other best known mouse units because it has an ambidextrous design. If you can get past the caveats of the high price point and the sheer complexity of the device, the Ouroboros is a winner. It can be used as a wired or wireless mouse and is highly customisable. The Ouroboros also allows a high degree of gaming accuracy due to its dual sensor design, and its striking design is matched by its long battery life.Check Price >
4. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum
With its futuristic aesthetics, the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum might not be to everyone's taste, but it is a powerful contender for the best gaming mouse crown. This elegant, user-friendly mouse is typical of the offerings from Logitech, while its Spectrum RGB lighting is quite beautiful. It's a highly sensitive performer, is customisable and fully programmable, while its fantastic ambidextrous design means that it's a mouse that will suit just about anyone.Check Price >
5. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Corsair M65 Pro RGB
The design of the Corsair M65 Pro won't be to everyone's taste, but this is a seriously high quality mouse, and offers incredible value for money. The Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software in this unit is extremely flexible and offers a wide variety of options allowing it to be customised to pretty much any requirement and taste. Sensitivity and tracking can be adjusted on the fly using a 'sniper' button feature, making for a more fluid user experience than what's available on many other mouse units at this price point.Check Price >
6. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Logitech G502
While this is not for left-handers, here we have yet another winner from Logitech. The G502 is an excellent performer for a gaming mouse in its price category. While not ambidextrous, the design of the Logitech G502 is beautiful to look at. And it's as practical as it is incredible to look at, with programmable buttons that allow a high degree of customisation to your needs.Check Price >
7. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Razer DeathAdder Chroma
Razer's DeathAdder Chroma is not going to win any awards for its rather workmanlike design. But the advantage is that it's a tried and tested formula, and is enhanced by some really cool Chroma lighting and effects. It's also a robust mouse, made from quality materials, and using one of the best software suites, the Razer Synapse 2.0. Extremely customisable, you can't go wrong with the DeathAdder Chroma.Check Price >
8. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Corsair Scimitar RGB
Another of the best gaming mouse contenders, the Corsair Scimitar RGB has a Pixart sensor that delivers absolutely uncanny tracking. It's a solid, incredibly funky-looking piece of kit, and has a high degree of customisation thanks to its 17 fully programmable buttons, making it highly desirable for all tastes and gaming requirements. While its appearance may not be to everyone's taste, Corsair get full marks for the top quality construction and materials.Check Price >
9. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Razer Naga Hex V2
This Naga Hex V2 from Razer is another winner for the gaming accessories manufacturer and is extremely suitable for multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) specialists. It's not perfect—the design is a little plain, and it's not ambidextrous—but Razer, which already scores big points for its superb Razer Synapse 2.0 software suite, also gets stars for the power of the optical sensor on this mouse, and its fully customisable buttons. It's solid, and subtle features such as its Chroma lighting ensure a wide appeal for this mouse.Check Price >
10. Best Gaming Mouse UK Review – Corsair Sabre RGB
Last but by no means least on our best gaming mouse buyer's guide, the Corsair Sabre RGB is surprisingly feature-rich at this price point. While the design won't be to everyone's taste, this mouse is a powerful performer with extremely sensitive tracking, and can be customised to anyone's taste quite easily. Other points in the favour of this competitively priced appliance include its adjustable RGB lighting rig. Great value for money, all in all.Check Price >

Petworth has a new pizzeria. Little Coco's is now open, ready to cater to the late night crowd and the former late night crowd that now walks around the neighborhood with kids in tow.
Located at 3907 14th St., NW, Little Coco's isn't in the midst of a hotbed of activity. It's not in the rapidly expanding Shaw or the already packed 14th and U. It's a block away from two bars we really like, Red Derby and Lyman's Tavern. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood and the D.C. dining scene.
While we can't vouch for the food, come back soon for our Taste Test, the bar selection is impressive. Their amaro selection is a Negroni connoisseurs dream. Their Italian beer selection and wine list is also impressive, but it's the amaro that stands out. Who else is specializing in after-dinner digestifs?
Because Little Coco's is opening in 2016 and they want to succeed, it does have outdoor seating on the second floor.
Little Coco's is the brainchild of the people behind El Chucho, that Mexican place you like in Columbia Heights that always seems full. Like El Chucho, it will soon have patio outdoor seating. Like El Chucho, it wouldn't be surprising if it's difficult to get a seat.
Little Coco's is now open. The restaurant is currently open everyday (except today, Monday, September 12) from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Brunch is coming soon.

A review of the Tenqa SP-99 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Have you noticed how everything's going wireless these days? Why I was visiting a geek I do business with from time to time, and it looked like his computer was just sitting on his desk for show. The only wire I saw for anything was the power cord. When I asked him about it, he said everything was wireless. Wow, I guess things have changed while I've been off hibernating.
Well, here's another wireless gadget to throw in your bag; wireless speakers for all your Bluetooth gear. It's actually pretty cool not having to hook things up, once you get used to it.
Our Review
Tenqa's SP-99 Bluetooth wireless speaker makes it easy to amplify the sound from your iPhone, iPad touch, Blackberry phone, and all those other Bluetooth gadgets we're getting these days. Even though it has a 3.5 mm audio connection and cable, there's really no need to use it, unless you've got some sort of old-fashioned gadget that's not Bluetooth compatible.
The compact unit will run off of AC power (from the included adapter) or 4 AA batteries (which of course aren't included). Although small, with the small speaker sound, for casual listening it's really not all that bad. There's even a control panel to allow you to control AVRCP (doesn't that mean "Association for Vanquishing Rodent Complaint Procedures? Hey, Chief Gopher, you'd better look at this) compliant devices.
For an inexpensive unit, these Bluetooth wireless speakers are really pretty decent. They have a nice, "solid" feel to them, a compact shiny black case, and are easy to carry along with you for those times when you just have to have some tunes. The AVRCP compatible controls are really nice, that is if you've got AVRCP compatible devices. All in all, they're a great unit to have around. The only thing I'd really complain about is the power switch location, which is on the back for some strange reason… maybe they don't want us to turn it off; hmmm.
The Look
Sleek, black, with a stainless steel grill to protect the speakers themselves. Overall, it's not something you're likely to throw out of your backpack the next morning. By comparison, the AC adapter looks a little clunky, but then, what can you do to make an AC adapter look cool?
The controls are nicely set into the edge of the case, almost as if they were molded there. Looks like they probably wouldn't get bumped very easily, so you probably won't have to worry about jumping to the next song mid-chorus.
Hey, it's Bluetooth, how much easier can you get? Just turn it on, then tell your whatever to find it. The device does all the work for you. Once it's "found" all you have to do the next time is turn it on, and make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your device. They'll find each other.
Sound Quality
Okay, they're only 2-inch speakers, so you're not going to fill a concert hall. Like all tiny speakers, there are limitations. You can get good enough sound for casual listening, but if you're a true audiophile, this Gopher thinks you'll be disappointed.
Should you buy it?
If you need some way of listening to your tunes on the go, I'd definitely say these Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth wireless speakers are a winner. Compact, sleek design, battery or AC powered, and best of all, wireless. This is a real winner, and the price isn't much more than buying speakers with wires that you have to mess with and untangle and have a break at the wrong time and all that.
- Bluetooth (need I say more)
- Sleek, compact design – slips into your gear bag or backpack easily, without tearing through the fabric
- Battery or AC power – great to have the option
- Controls on the speaker (for AVRCP compatible units)
- Wires may be a bit short for some people
- Awkwardly placed on/off button on the sub
- The price

Only one day after Eurogroup's Jeroen Dijsselbloem stated that the IMF's take on the Greek debt was "unnecessarily Pessimistic," the finance minister warned that without the Fund's participation in the Greek bailout, the Netherlands would also withdraw.
He stated that the Dutch Parliament was quite clear in its decision to bow out of the program should the IMF withdraw its funding and stressed that the Germany will not remain on board either.
The warning of the Dutch finance minister shouldn't come as a surprise since it isn't the first time he commented similarly. Arriving at a meeting with eurozone finance ministers back in May 2016, to mend the rift between Europe and the International Monetary Fund over how to proceed with Greece's bailout, he commented "it's not an option to go on without the IMF."

Objective: To determine the reliability of the Persian translation of the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) between parents and therapists in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Materials & Methods: After the forward and backward translation procedures and investigation of face and content validity, inter-rater reliability was assessed between parents and occupational therapists using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the weighted kappa coefficient. 100 Children (4 to 18 years, mean age 85.15 months 63 boys, 37 girls) with various types of CP were classified according to MACS by both parents and therapists. Additional data on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), intellectual delay, visual acuity, auditory acuity and epilepsy were collected.
Results. The inter-rater reliability was high the ICC was 0.96 (ranged from 0.94 to 0.97) among occupational therapists and parents .Total agreement there was between the GMFCS and the MACS.
Conclusion. The Persian version of the MACS is found to be reliable between parents and therapists, and is suggested to be appropriate for the assessment of manual ability within the Iranian population.
