|Topic - Jane "Jean" Surgeoner Thomson 1851-1897
Posted By:
21st Nov 2016 10:29pm GMT
I am trying to find where my grandmother, Jane Surgeoner Thomson is buried. We know she passed away on 13 November 1897 in Penningham House, Wigtownshire Scotland. I have checked with various government agencies and they have no record of her burial. However, in one email they suggest she might be buried in Newton-Stewart at the Old Cemetary on Jubilee Road or in the Cemetary which opened in 1895. She was born in Ayr, Ayrshire.
Jane's husband was Matthew McBlain Thomson (1854-1932). In the 1896-1897 Valuation Roles, Matthew McBlain Thomson is the Innkeeper [Occupier] of the Queen's Arms Public House and Stables, 30 Queen Street, in Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire.
Any help or hints would be appreciated.

Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman
Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman, is one of the shorter contributions to the Kissinger saga, and offers one of the clearest viewpoints. Things are not often the way they appear to be, and what is said in the open does not always match what happens behind closed doors. Grandin offers his analysis of the Kissinger record, and how facts were sometimes dismissed and lessons not learned in pursuit of policy to promote the interests of the United Sates in world affairs. The subtitle reflects the core of what Grandin contributes: Kissinger's policies remain influential in contemporary foreign affairs. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Kissinger's Shadow from amazon.com.

Bert turned 50 last weekend and we had a big party for him! It was such a blessing to celebrate with our favorite friends and family. We had so much fun that I did not take any pictures. These were all pictures taken by others and sent to me. So thankful for that, but we don't have any pictures of some of our friends that celebrated with us. As I get more, I will add them so we always remember who celebrated Bert's big 5-0 with him!
|So thankful to have amazing friends who travel hours to celebrate with us and let me put them to work setting up!
|Old people selfie:-)
|My bestie and my best man!
|This is right before Chris bought Bert his first shot of the night.
|50 candles is like having a bonfire!
The celebration wouldn't be complete without embarrassing the birthday boy!

Sweet this game now has lion-o and ram man as playable characters
When I was young I always wanted the SNES game Zelda - A Link to the Past to be a He-Man game. To think of it, that environment, and those characters in the game could easily be replaced with MOTU characters. How Link levels up, holds his Master Sword aloft, go between different worlds, where hte main villian is a blue antagonist.
It would just be a perfect MOTU game
I'm to old for video games... but I'd still love to have an official pencil-n-paper RPG and/or produce the official tabletop miniatures game.
I am Stratos, Heroic Master of Music! and proud member of the Ohio Masters
Creator of Kaiju Kaos.
I'd take anything (well, except Tappers/Clickers/Idle, or other corny games like that).
My dream is a Star Trek: Timelines type game (with no in-game purchases). For those who are not familiar, it is pretty much a fancy text sim where you collect crew members and then pick teams to go on missions (skill checks determine if you succeed). There are a bunch of other modes, but that is the gist of it. There would be TONS of characters to collect from all the different MOTU franchises, especially with all the variations.
I'd really like a sim/text or RPG with good GUI, character sheets, maps, etc where you explore and open world, recruit, and go on quests- with a bunch of stats to power up, collect treasure and clues, sidequests, main plot, have character arcs, make choices, manage resources or roster, etc.
Would also enjoy a cool collectible card game, but not another Hearthstone clone.
I'd take an RPG or an Action/Adventure style. I just wouldn't want one of those apps that never end like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes or Marvels Strike Force. I have both of those and while they're fun, they get boring after all the tasks are completed.

17 Cary Grant Quotes To Start Your Week
In the history of cinema, the United States, and all of recorded history, there has never been a suaver man than Cary Grant. There just hasn't. Born "Archibald Leach," the British Grant legally adopted his stage name when he became an American in 1942. With his mid-Atlantic accent, Grant and his chin charmed their way into Hollywood's Golden Era and five marriages.
From The Philadelphia Story, to Hitchcock's North By Northwest, Grant cemented himself as one of the greatest leading men in history. Here, then, are 17 bits of his wisdom for your Monday morning.
1. "To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you're impotent. She can't wait to disprove it."
2. "My father used to say, 'Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.'"
3. "A shot of brandy can save your life, but a bottle of brandy can kill you."
4. "Do your job and demand your compensation—but in that order."
5. "Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant."
6. "Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings."
7. "My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can."
8. "It takes 500 small details to add up to one favorable impression."
9. "I may not have married for very sound reasons, but money was the least of them."
10. "I think that making love is the best form of exercise."
11. "When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you how old you are."
12. "Divorce is a game played by lawyers."
13. "I improve on misquotation."
14. "I'm prepared. I have a gun and I know how to shoot, and whoever comes calling without an invitation will get it in the rear end."
15. "It is the law of life that if you are kind to someone you feel happy. If you are cruel you are unhappy. And if you hurt someone, you will be hurt back."
16. "When I'm married I want to be single, and when I'm single I want to be married."
17. "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops."

Distributed for New Issues Poetry and Prose
154 pages | 6 x 9 3/4
Trilogy is comprised of three related books that make a single work. Celestial Room is about a child's serious illness and the fear of mortal danger. Uncreated Light is about grief, a "book of the dead"; from a family in which both the speaker's parents and her two brothers have died, she is the only one left to speak. Labyrinth On My Table, the third book of the trilogy, is about writing and poetry and voice as the means to discovering what's authentic in one's life. The subject of Trilogy as a whole is voice: how work is a dialogue with self, with "otherness," and an answer to the craving to be true to the particular vision the work itself is trying to articulate: how giving rise to this articulate voice may embody the essence of being.

Employer, a private, profit-making college selling courses to international students, told me to get out and never come back today. No reason given. No warnings prior to this day.
Sounds like an employer one should not work for, right?
Alexander College on Kingsway in Burnaby and W. Hastings in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I never felt good and this action on the part of the employer is a good show of its attitude. I was not planning on accepting any further contracts with them.
But to kick you to the curb just before midterms?---never heard of such a thing!
To begin with, very little support and acknowledgment. Some women in admin positions came across as hostile as well as snooty.
There is too much management and supervision of everything. "Feedback" was two impromptu meetings giving very negative comments, and not all very relevant never mind fair or reasonable in third week, leaving me bruised and cold. No positive feedback except they had no issue to make of my teaching. In fact one neophyte super said, super impertinently, you are a fabulous teacher and all the students really like you.
The gossip mill ran overtime. The feedback made shocking direct claims about my character and offensive innuendo--nothing about my work performance but attacks on my character. "We want a team player." What was my team? Apparently, I was to give all to a team to which I clearly did not belong.
I felt it. If they wonder why I wasn't smiling with them much and why I bristled a couple of times, they should know. I did not feel welcome or supported.
They ditched me in time to avoid paying me severance. This must be why they were doing feedback so early after I started. Once over the 3-month mark, harder to let someone go and more expensive.

Sebastian Galindo-Gonzalez, Glenn D. Israel, Marna Weston, and Kathryn A. Israel2
The quality of services provided by the UF/IFAS Extension service has been measured every year since 1988 using a customer satisfaction survey (CSS). This practice, initiated from a recommendation by the Florida Board of Regents in 1988, also meets requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993.
UF/IFAS Extension performance standard is that 92% of clientele will be "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the quality of the service received. The perception of quality by the clientele has remained at high levels in recent years, increasing slightly from 92.3% in 2003 to 95.3% in 2006 (see Figure 1) (G.D. Israel, unpublished data). To maintain this trend, UF/IFAS Extension strives constantly to identify, prioritize, and provide solutions that meet the needs and expectations of the different market segments that it serves. This fact sheet explores whether race or gender have an effect on the perceptions of the clientele regarding the quality and outcome of services provided by Extension.
The population of Florida is highly diverse. According to the US Census Bureau (2005), the proportions of Hispanic/Latino and Black people in the state are greater than those at the national level (19.5 vs. 14.4% and 15.7 vs. 12.8%, for Hispanic/Latino and Black, respectively). The report also shows that women account for 51% of the population in Florida. The importance of the state's diversity for planning and marketing Extension programs in Florida has been widely discussed (Brennan, 2005; Guion, 2005a; Guion & Kent, 2005; Place & Toro, 2006).
Though the overall Extension customer satisfaction in Florida has been high and meets performance targets (Haile & Israel, 2005), it is important to determine whether the quality of experience with Extension remains constant across different market segments, particularly those characterized by race and gender. From an equal opportunity perspective, involving diverse audiences in Extension programs meets the minimum criteria for quality. Exploring clients' experiences with Extension measures another dimension of program quality.
The dimensions of quality measured with the survey were (a) accuracy of information, (b) timely delivery of information, (c) relevance of information, (d) ease of use of information, and (e) overall satisfaction with the service. The outcomes of the use of Extension services measured with the survey were (a) opportunities to use information, (b) whether the client's problem was solved or question was answered, (c) sharing information with other people, (d) the number of times using FCES during the past year, and (e) number of years using FCES. The latter two are indicators of repeat customers. Two demographic variables, race and gender, were used to differentiate market segments. Race includes the following categories: "White, non-Hispanic," "Black, non-Hispanic," "Hispanic," and "other minority." Data for gender were categorized as "male" and "female." Survey data for the years 2003 to 2006 were analyzed and the chi-square statistic was used to determine whether an association was significant.
Significant associations were found to exist between the race of the respondent and the perception of quality of Extension services. Although the overall satisfaction reported by Extension clients was above the state's performance standard, Figure 2 shows a significant association between race of the respondent and satisfaction with the service provided by Extension. More Whites and Hispanics (68% and 70%, respectively) were very satisfied with their experience with Extension than Blacks (54%). The gender of the respondent was not significantly associated with the perception of satisfaction.
Both race and gender of the respondents were found to be significantly associated with the perceived relevance of the information provided by Extension. Figure 3 shows that more Whites and Hispanics (63% and 58%, respectively) reported being very satisfied with the relevance of the information than did Blacks and other minorities (50%). In addition, Figure 4 shows that more females were very satisfied with the relevancy of the information than males (64% vs. 57%, respectively).
Race and gender were significantly associated with the perception of timeliness in the delivery of Extension information. Figure 5 shows that more Whites and Hispanics (65% and 64%, respectively) were very satisfied with the timely delivery of information than Blacks (52%) and other minorities (49%). Similarly, more females were very satisfied with the timely delivery of information than males (66% vs. 61%, respectively, Figure 6).
Other dimensions of quality, although not significantly associated with race, exhibited differences consistent with this trend.
The gender of the participants significantly affected their perception of the level of difficulty of the information provided by Extension. As Figure 7 shows, more females than males were very satisfied with the fact that the information was easy to understand (69% vs. 62%, respectively).
Regardless of their race, respondents found the information provided by Extension accurate. However, Figure 8 shows that gender of the participant is significantly associated with the respondents' perceived accuracy. More females than males were very satisfied with the accuracy of the information (68% vs. 62%, respectively).
Few significant associations were found between the respondents' race and gender and the results of their use of Extension services. The opportunity to use information, as an outcome of receiving Extension services, was significantly associated with the participants' race (Figure 9). More Whites and Hispanics (81% and 82%, respectively) reported that they used the information provided than did Blacks (66%) and other minorities (71%). Among those who used the information, however, there was not a significant difference between these groups in the outcome. That is, all groups were equally likely to have their question answered or the problem solved. Nearly three-quarters of respondents also shared information with someone else (which indicates a positive regard for Extension) and again there was no difference based on race or gender.
The results have shown that Blacks and other minorities perceive having had a somewhat lower quality experience with the services provided by Extension than do Whites and Hispanics. This is particularly true for timely delivery, relevance of the information, and overall satisfaction. One implication is that Blacks and other minorities are less likely to develop loyalty to the organization and continue to patronize Extension at the levels of Whites and Hispanics because patronage depends on achieving a high satisfaction level (Terry & Israel, 2004) . The respondent's gender was also found to be significantly associated both with the quality of experience and with the outcomes of receiving Extension services.
Three actions can be recommended from the results of this study. First, Extension should use more participatory approaches to promote equal involvement among its diverse clientele during the processes of assessing needs and developing Extension programs. One important step is to ensure that county advisory councils' composition reflects the diversity of the local population. Making face-to-face contacts with members of minority groups also can build rapport and help agents to develop empathy for specific audiences (Guion, 2005b). Both formal advisory committee meetings and informal conversations can contribute to well-designed programs with appropriate educational activities.
Second, Extension professionals should develop information delivery skills that are suitable for culturally diverse audiences. Practicing educational methods designed for diverse audiences can enhance the quality of clients' experience and, in turn, result in greater satisfaction and patronage. For example, Guion and Kent (2005) note that Black audiences will be more receptive to information that includes examples involving Blacks or validating their culture and norms. Guion and Kent also suggest having Blacks present the message and encouraging audiences to ask questions about programs. The latter accommodates Blacks' preference for oral communication.
Finally, Extension should make an effort to identify and gain a better understanding of the cultural characteristics of the different market segments that are part of its clientele or community. As noted by Brennan (2005), people are more likely to accept solutions that are consistent with their local culture. One practical step for meshing with a group's culture is to take the program to their turf and present it on their terms.

Gaga lit up the halftime stage at NRG Stadium this past Sunday during Super Bowl LI, laying down a performance that many have determined to be the greatest in Super Bowl history.
Little did she know that the game would end up earning the same distinction. The New England Patriots utilized a furious rally to capture a historic 34-28 victory, and Gaga will forever go down in history as the artistic turning point who thrilled the sold-out audience with her bevy of natural talents.
All of the talents will be on display during this upcoming tour, which traipses throughout North America twice with a trip to Europe in between. The August 15 show in the capitol city of the great state of California is special for a number of reasons. First off, it will be the first time Gaga has played this lavish and sparkling new venue, which opened to the public in early-October 2016 when Paul McCartney played a gigantic concert.
The venue bills itself as one of the most technologically advanced in all the world. By any standard, the Golden 1 Arena is a huge modern venue very adept to host live performances such as these. Gaga is going to put on a masterful performance in late-summer of this year in front of what is sure to be a packed audience, all of whom will be sitting on theatre-style padding.

|Re: Re: NAUI/PADI DM questions
Posted by Capt. K on March 20, 2006 at 18:27:52:
In Reply to: Re: NAUI/PADI DM questions posted by Ken Kurtis on March 19, 2006 at 19:14:30:
Great points, Ken. I particularly like the hog-tieing suggestion. ;)
Eric, FYI, there is an enormous difference between taking a dive master course, whether PADI or NAUI, and becoming an on-paper DM, and actually working on a dive boat as a dive master. As far as 'really working in the industry' - is your paper restricted to dive shop DMs?
Technically, a DM outranks the captain in relation to the divers, but there are few scenarios I can think of where a DM would be able to make a diver oriented decision exclusive of the safe operation and business of the vessel, therein necessitating the involvement of the captain/crew and a consensus, as Ken says. As a DM, Instructor and Captain, I don't know that I would ever overrule or ignore a DM who was convinced diving was unsafe. Simply, the DM's focus on the divers might allow him or her to notice a danger factor the captain/crew might not. He/she might be the only one who saw the 16 ft white... Also, if the DM refused to DM, someone else would have to assume the position. There might not be available or qualified alternates that trip.
As far as your specific questions:
• Since you are representing the shop, do you have the right, and are you expected to exercise that right, to cancel a trip because you feel the conditions were not ideal to conduct the dives?
-No. Cancelling a trip is a decision for the operator and the shop owner/charterer. Don't forget, it is 20+ miles to Catalina and further to SBI and there may be more to conditions than a DM can immediately see. Captains have access to radar, electronic data and radio communications that DMs do not.
• As the DM, once again representing the shop, are you expected to not let any diver on the boat you feel is a threat or otherwise problematic in their attitude that could affect the other customers on the trip?
- From experience, I would agree threats should absolutely be hog-tied. Or at least not allowed to dive. There is very little paperwork involved in refunding a disgruntled diver while there is a mountain in relation to an incident caused by said diver. Also, your other divers will likely appreciate your firmness where it involves their safety. 'Problematic attitudes'? As Ken says, you can't stop someone from diving b/c you don't like them. As a DM, it is rather important not to put your personal agenda ahead of your job.
• Again, as the DM, are you expected to not let any diver on the boat you feel is a danger to himself or others around him?
-Yes. As above, diver safety is paramount, not personal feelings or agendas. The job description includes keeping people out of the water if they might injure themselves or others. Rescue training tends to discuss the signs and symptoms of a dangerous diver. Dive masters are expected to know them and act on their knowledge. A shop or boat in opposition to that probably isn't safe. A DM would, however, absolutely be expected to notify the captain and/or crew of such a danger.
• If an accident occurs on your trip and a diver is injured, are you as the DM, required to take a drug test along with everyone else on the boat that was responsible in any way for the advanced safety or rescue of the injured diver as per the Coast Guard's request?
- While CG does seem to currently see peeing in a cup as the cure all for accident resolution, but they do not have authority over civilians. So no, CG could not require a DM to take a drug test if he/she were not employed by the boat.
- As far as certifying agency requirements and expectations, you should probably contact PADI and NAUI PR Departments for the official word.
Good luck with your paper.

If so, then you need to follow some steps in order to take care of your health and just enjoy the wonderful benefits that these relaxation methods provide. Here is a very important skin care advice for hot tub and sauna users, that you must seriously take into account.
You need to use a spa-safe moisturizer when having a hot tub bath
You must help your skin retain moisture, and you can easily do this by using a spa-safe moisturizer each time you are having a hot tub bath. A spa-safe product means that it is oil-free and it doesn't contain any sort of elements that could affect the hot tub, or clog the filter. Therefore, make sure you keep the dry skin away, while you enjoy a very relaxing hot tub bath.
You must gently dry your skin with a towel after each sauna or hot tub bath
This is a very important detail which you must not forget about. Your skin is very sensitive when you finish any of these baths, and you must highly protect it. You can do this by drying it very gently with a soft towel. Go for a bamboo towel, which is without a doubt extremely soft and absorbent. It is highly recommended to pat your skin with the towel, in order to not damage it. By doing so, you will keep it healthy and young as well.
It is recommended to apply moisturizer while the skin is still damp
By doing so, your skin will be highly hydrated after the soak. It will look amazing and it will be extremely soft. Therefore, once your skin is like this, you will look and feel excellent. Keep in mind to get a moisturizer that contains natural ingredients, in order to maximize your results.
Keep in mind to take a shower after every bath
It is essential to have a shower after you get out of the sauna or the hot tub. By doing so, you will highly clean your entire body. Furthermore, you will remove the chlorine that hot tubs have, and which can be quite irritating for your skin. Bacteria and other contaminants will also be removed. This way, your skin will be protected and it will certainly look absolutely amazing. All in all, if you are a fan of this type of baths, then you need to make sure you take into account this skin care advice for hot tub and sauna users, presented in this article, in order take care of your skin's health.

Given that most classrooms in Singapore schools are not air-conditioned, are all students being given N95 masks to wear in class?
Teachers and students should put these masks on as soon as air quality hits the unhealthy range.
Students spend long hours in school, and they need to use these masks as protection.

Since his plan to frame Krusty the Clown for armed robbery was spoiled by especially Lisa, but ESPECIALLY Bart, Sideshow Bob has tried to kill various members of the Simpson family many times. A gas leak for Aunt Selma, a machete for Bart, a nuclear bomb for all of Springfield. Yet, all of his first-degree attempts have been unsuccessful, occasionally because he can't resist performing the entirety of the H.M.S. Pinafore. Until this year.
Simpsons showrunner Al Jean told EW that during "Treehouse of Horror XXVI," which airs October 25, Sideshow Bob will finally kill Bart Simpson.
Over and over again.
"You never saw the Road Runner lose. This time you do," quips Jean. "His whole life has just been about killing Bart, so what's next? We deal with how Bob would really feel once he accomplished this goal he's had his whole life." Any hints on how exactly will Bart meet his maker? "There's a betting pool on the manner of death," says Jean. "What I'm going to say is: Everyone in the pool is going to win because he gets killed so many times." (Via)
A few possibilities:
–Lung cancer (it's a long con)
-Murder by The Pirates of Penzance
-Democrats tax him to death (lousy spendocrats)
Yup, gonna be a lot of rakes.
(Via EW)

Man brought to safety after six hours threatening to jump from Palgrave House flats
PUBLISHED: 17:16 15 March 2013 | UPDATED: 17:22 15 March 2013
Polly Hancock
A man who clung to a drainpipe on a block of flats in Hampstead threatening to jump for six hours yesterday was finally persuaded to return safely back inside the block last night.
Police were called by residents in Palgrave House flats, in Lawn Road, who were concerned about a neighbour who had barricaded himself into a flat just before 10am yesterday.
At about 2.10pm, the man, wearing a white hoodie, jeans and trainers, emerged from a fifth floor flat window and clung to a drainpipe running vertically up the block.
He then shuffled down the drainpipe to the fourth floor where he remained for around six hours while police negotiators and family members attempted to talk him down.
Witnesses on the ground heard the man screaming "they are going to kill me" at police and threatening to jump.
The man was eventually detained by police at approximately 8.30pm and taken to hospital for psychiatric assessment.
During the incident, police set up a large cordon around Palgrave House, closing Fleet Road and Upper Park Road, causing severe traffic problems and diverting a number of bus routes.
The cordon has since been removed and the roads re-opened.

India is truly 'incredible' when it comes to matters of women safety and sexual harassment women face each day.
Please find dollops of sarcasm in the aforesaid statement. And, you know what's the worst part? People of authority and herds from the society justify sexual assault by blaming the victim for it, saying she was asking for it. From questioning what she wore to what time she went out to if she was following the 'western culture', people try to blame it on the girl. Why doesn't the society question the culprit's actions?
This video uploaded by Cinemonkz, shows how an 'easy girl' in any way is not asking for it. They sum up each and every situation well in the short video and give out a really strong message.
'But the only thing necessary for a rape to happen is the presence of a rapist.'

Say it ain't so! A new survey released has made the claim that in general, that most people lose their appetite for looking for new music by the time they turn 30 years old. Plus, it claims that many music lovers are stuck in a rut.
The music streaming site Deezer, commissioned the survey, and they found that music fans stop discovering new music from around 30 years plus, and that the condition is called "musical paralysis."
During the survey people were asked why they had stopped caring or looking for new music. The public cited reasons as simple as having kids, but also the fact that they were just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of music available.
As well as the above, 60% of people questioned explained that they felt as if they were stuck in a musical rut, and that they only listened to music they already knew.
The survey was conducted in the UK and it appears that Wales and the North West of England are the big offenders, the UK give up finding new music at around 24 years old, and the good folks in Wales are said to lose interest at around 23.
So what's the cure? Apparently there isn't one available, so, to all you 30+ listeners in the UK, WAKE UP!!!!! There is so much good music out there, go find it. Ps, we love you anyway.

I was advised by a US customer that they are considering changing the site transformer due to risk/experience of Arc Flash? The transformer is too large and by chanaging to a smaller unit they will minimize/eliminate this risk?. I was referred to NFPA 70E as a guidance document to support the reasoning for this. (I don't have)
I was also advised by our own organization (EU based) the following.."basically, Arc flashing or as we call it in the UK "flash-overs" occurs if the clearance to earth or clearance between phase have been compromised or the insulation material which maintains the clearances has deteriorated which allows liquid or gas which has the effect of compromising the clearances. We design all units with minimum voltage clearances so we never have issues with flash-overs in normal operation. These clearances differ subject to the input voltages (i.e. a 12.76kV will have different clearances than a 38kV).
As long as a transformer manufacturer follows engineering guidelines on clearances and insulation then we never experience flash-overs".
I would appreciate any guidance here in the US on this issue.

December 1st week 2015 current affairs
1) Zuckerberg vows to donate 99% of his shares for charity
Mark Zuckerberg, The CEO of Facebook, announced on 1st December that he and his wife would give 99 percent of their Facebook shares "during our lives" - holdings currently worth more than $45 billion - to charitable purposes.
According to the reports, the pledge was made in an open letter to their newborn daughter, Max, who was born about a week ago. Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr Priscilla Chan, said they were forming a new organization, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to manage the money, through an unusual limited liability corporate structure.
Zuckerberg`s charitable plans are the latest indication of a growing interest in philanthropy among Silicon Valley`s young billionaires, who, unlike previous generations of business tycoons, appear eager to spread their wealth while they are still young.
Earlier this week, Zuckerberg was also one of the billionaires who signed on to the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, a group organized by the Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to contribute toward a multibillion-dollar clean energy fund. The announcement coincided with a Paris summit meeting intended to forge a global accord to cut planet-warming emissions. Zuckerberg and Chan had previously pledged about $1.6 billion to charitable endeavors.
20 Iran worked on developing nuclear weapons: UN
United Nations nuclear watchdog has said that Iran took limited steps towards developing a nuclear bomb in the past. But the report from the IAEA said the efforts did not go beyond planning and testing of basic components. In its report, the IAEA said most of the co-ordinated work by Iran took place before 2003, with some activities continuing up to 2009. The report was a condition of this year`s landmark deal between Iran and six world powers. Iran`s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the findings confirmed that Tehran`s nuclear programme was peaceful.

Finally, we get to see actor Chris Evans suited up as the first Avenger, Captain America. This is a photo on the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly.
I must say, the costume is looking pretty BADASS. The filmmakers are on the right track to make a hell of a Captain America movie.
What do yall think?

The Mashup: Bulldogs & the Craft Beer Industry
UMD grads are pivoting towards careers in craft beer.
The way Brian Schanzenbach remembers, it was exactly like when Harry Potter got Severus Snape's copy of Advanced Potion Making. "In biology lab, they gave us our lab book and there was a chapter on fermentation and making wine. The professor said, 'You can't do this here, but you're welcome to take the book home.'" With that, the purpose behind Brian's biology major bubbled to the top. "I think that weekend I was buying the jars, the grape juice, and the yeast. I wanted to do it right away. Something just clicked."
From there, Brian honed in on microbiology and supplemented his UMD education with experiential learning at Fitger's Brewhouse and Lake Superior Brewing. "I really lucked out–going into biology and not knowing what I wanted to do with it, and then finding something that I'm so passionate about."
That something is beer. And it turns out that Brian, now a brewer and co-owner of Blacklist Artisan Ales, is not alone in being drawn to this amber nectar. Like bees to honey, packs of Bulldogs are gravitating toward an industry that's enjoying a boom, according to the Brewers Association. It reports 5,562 breweries were operating in the United States in 2017. CityLab reported that between 2008 and 2016, the number of brewery workers grew by 120 percent. And Minneapolis, Saint Paul Business Journal ran a story in December with the telling headline, "Duluth Is a Top Five City for Beer Drinkers," announcing that the Zenith City surpassed other craft beer beacons like Austin, Texas, and Missoula, Montana, by earning high scores for both its offerings and its venues.
UMD grads are playing major roles in Duluth and across the nation. Several alumni were science majors, like Brian, but all five colleges are well represented in the craft beer profession. Why is it that so many students who choose UMD are also choosing to pour their passion into this niche industry? It turns out UMD and craft beer are attracting the same people. School of Fine Arts alumna Jodie Pundsack, who's built brand campaigns for several breweries, surmises, "That collaborative, 'let's make some things,' type of people are drawn to UMD." Jonathan Portinga, a Labovitz School of Business and Economics grad and Bent Paddle brewer, puts it this way, "If you value what Duluth has, craft brewing has similar people who would enjoy that."
But it takes more than enjoying craft beer to succeed. These grads have the know-how needed to knock out a living in this competitive field.
The Pioneer
Growing up in Brainerd, Minnesota, in the 1970s, Tim Nelson's room was not decorated like his buddies' rooms. Where they may have had "Jaws" posters on their walls, Tim had ads for Schlitz Malt Liquor. Tim's parents, who didn't drink, let this slide, understanding their son had a penchant for marketing. Tim and his brother Brad were known around town as being the top sellers of sloppy joe fundraising tickets, especially impressive because they had to peddle their bikes miles into town before peddling their wares.
Tim came to UMD in after two years at a community college, in part to start a varsity cross country ski team on campus. It was at the NCSA National Championships in Bend, Oregon, where he first became aware of craft beer. Sipping a Deschutes Black Butte Porter, "That was my first taste," he remembers.
At the same time he was learning about micro beer, he was enveloped in a microcosm of what was happening in Duluth. "Hanging around the recreational sports students at UMD, I got to know people who were adventurous, liked to travel, and liked to drink good beer when they're in those locations. That stoked my knowledge of people." Through them, Tim saw a market for a local brewery.
After graduating with a degree in marketing and a minor in history, and returning to Duluth after graduate school, Tim launched Fitger's Brewhouse. "We were working for free and it was a grind, introducing people to microbrews one pint at a time." Tim says, in the early days, they'd host adventure slide shows where people like a local Bigfoot hunter would share pictures from their trips. It was one of only five breweries in the state.
One of Tim's favorite sayings is you can't make excellent beer without an excellent location. This motto served as a guide after he sold the Brewhouse a couple years ago and began launching a new brewery. "There's a lot of beer to choose from in the world. If you can only have one beer that night, what kind of beer is going to make you feel the best? Location has a lot to do with that," he explains. "Stripmall beer, there's nothing wrong with it, but it has a different feeling. That's not what I wanted."
Tim wanted his new business to be on the harborfront and initially looked in Duluth, but he ended up crossing state lines and tapping into his family's roots. At the base of the highbridge and in the shadow of Superior, Wisconsin's shipyards and silos sits Earth Rider Brewery. "Earth Rider has a bit of that ruggedness, and this location speaks to that. We're right at the tip of the lake, and it's as windy and cold as it is anywhere."
Earth Rider opened one year ago, after Tim gathered a team of well-respected brewers and surged forward with a tightly defined brand whose muse is its location. "The Earth Rider brand is tied to adventure and exploration. It's tied into our immigrant culture." This hardworking storyline is personal for Tim, whose grandparents lived in Superior. His great grandpa Nikolia Nelson, a Norwegian immigrant, owned Superior's Imperial Bakery and had the first motorized delivery vehicle in Superior. His grandpa Fred Nelson worked in Superior's shipyards during World War II. And his great grandfather Martin Carlson, a Swedish immigrant, worked for the railroad.
The Cedar Lounge, about a block away from the brewery, honors these roots while serving as Earth Rider's taphouse. It's an authentic Wisconsin bar with tin ceilings and antique photos of ore boats covering the walls. Having Earth Rider beer on tap echoes the original purpose of the building, as it was built as a tide house, a business that would only sell one brewery's beer, for Northern Brewing Company.
A sign of success, Tim says, is that you'll find beer connoisseurs sitting next to grain elevator workers at the bar. "I want to make beer for the people who live and work here. That's what craft brewing is all about to me."
Like an ore boat captain, two decades of experience and an innate understanding of brand means that Tim is able to steer Earth Rider into the sea of craft beer without running aground. This is unique. Most breweries start with a great product but aren't sure how to find the right audience. Enter into the wheelhouse Jodie Pundsack of Gaslight Creative.
Jodie's mom was a designer, so art is in her veins. Jodie studied graphic design at UMD where, for her first semester, using the computer for design was minimized. "What I love about UMD is that you learn the basic principles of design through drawing. The software programs are just tools."
This education in handcrafted design is now empowering her work with handcrafted beer. Jodie and a colleague started Gaslight Creative in , a marketing agency in St. Cloud. As the first rumble of what would be a surge in craft breweries was being felt, Cold Spring Brewing reached out to Jodie's agency to empower its launch of Northern Beer and to design its website. Gaslight was so appreciative of the opportunity, it replied with a dancing gorilla.
Knowing a good thing when she found it, Jodie and her team started attending craft brewer conferences. "You bring the beer, we'll bring the brand. Let's party," was their tagline. Underneath the apropos fun was a foundation of education, "My success as a creative strategist is based on what I learned at UMD."
Jodie and her team became known as the experts who could dissect a craft beer brand. Cold Spring started Third Street Brewhouse, and Jodie's business was there to brand the name, logo, and 13 beers. Bad Habit Brewing Company, Beaver Island Brewing Company, Eel River Brewing Company, Explorium Brewpub, Bemidji Brewing followed. Gaslight Creative has also worked with Schell's, the granddaddy of German craft beer.
The significance of her work is not lost on Jodie. "Branding is so personal, and this is these brewers' craft. To have the honor of their trust is the most meaningful thing."
The Transformation
For years, the headshop Last Place on Earth loomed on Duluth's Superior Street. Waves of customers would surge in and out of the building, causing people working and visiting downtown to ripple away from the space. It was shuttered with gusto in and reopened as Brian Schanzenbach's Blacklist Artisan Ales three years later.
Transforming the 5,700-square-foot space in Duluth's Historic Arts and Theater District into Blacklist has had a reverse effect on the aversion caused by Last Place on Earth. There's live music and a taproom upstairs and a busy brewing and canning operation downstairs.
The long, skinny building nestles against Michigan Avenue in the back, perfect for distributing Blacklist's gallons of Belgian-style beer. It's not a huge operation, but it's the perfect size for a brewer who's always had an eye for the micro. "Big breweries are amazing at what they do, but it didn't really spark an interest in what I wanted, which is more hands-on."
Working at his craft, Brian says, taps into both his UMD microbiology roots and a need to create. "There is definite science. But at the same time, you're working with live organisms and these recipes you're creating, so there's that artistic side."
Brian is one of two Blacklist brewers running their round-the-clock operation. He takes the day shift so he can make it home to spend time with his family. "It's still hard to stand back and look at it all. Every day I'm running out of here to help make dinner and put my son to bed, but every once in a while I get out and I see this place busy, and people are having fun, and that's the part when it's all worth it."

Honing the hook
How on earth do you take an entire novel and sum up the most important facts in just a few words? It must not only be simple but potent to gain the attention of and editor or agent.
To find your book's hook, dig deep. Ask yourself:
Books sell on voice and concept. When going to a book store, you turn the book jacket around and read the few lines - you want it to immediately tell you what it is all about, what the conflicts are, and who the characters are. You also want to pick up on the writers voice - writing style and pace the novel is set at.
"High concept" is an unjustly maligned term meaning a story idea that can be easily grasped both by studio execs and by audiences. But a warning: just because you can pitch it in a sentence doesn't make it High Concept. No - it has to be extremely appealing and commercial, not just succinct. It's got to have wide, instant commercial appeal.
Yet if a story is all high concept with no follow-through, it's little more than a gimmick
Your voice: 'Look' at your book and chose three adjectives to describe your style, if you are not sure grab someone else's book who's work is similar to you as an example and describe it to yourself.
Understanding the heart of your concept.
A must do B to avoid/accomplish C but D is a huge problem.
This is only the part of understanding what goes in the hook. (characters, agenda and obstacles)
Small paragraph to introduce your main character, then introduce love interest or heroin within another small paragraph, then show what craziness hits when it all goes wrong then state what needs to be done to overcome it all.
Here is a book I recommend every writer who wants to query or pitch to look over, it not only guides you with very detailed content and exactly what to expect it gives you a worksheet to help you hone your hook, query and gain interest.

The "Phantom Menace" Superbug Reveals Dark Side of Antibiotic Misuse
Cases of a threatening superbug, nicknamed the "phantom menace," are rising in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The phantom menace superbug produces OXA-48-like carbapenemases and has been observed most frequently in Enterobacteriaceae isolates. This type of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), however, has a lower level of resistance than other strains of CRE. As a result, these isolates have not been tested for and identified as frequently as other CREs and have widely escaped detection by health officials, earning it the nickname "phantom menace."

Luminex® miRNA Analysis Made Easy with a Multiplex miRNA Probe Design Tool
While a number of PCR based assays may be used for miRNA analysis, few are suitable for the economic analysis of large numbers of miRNAs in one reaction. Those that are capable of multiplexed analysis often lack the single base resolution needed to distinguish a number of miRNAs that differ by only one nucleotide base. The miRNA Chimeric Probe Design Tool will automatically assemble probe sequences in a near ready to order format. Of the 13 tabs in the file, the user only needs to use four of these tabs.

There are an estimated 1,200 operatives of the terror group ISIS in the Philippines, the Indonesia defense minister announced during an international security forum in Singapore on Sunday.
Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said this number includes foreigners, 40 of whom are from Indonesia. He called on members of the region to cooperate in fighting against ISIS "killing machines."
"I was advised last night, 1,200 ISIS in the Philippines, around 40 from Indonesia," Ryacudu said, according to AFP.
The announcement was made amid the ongoing battle between ISIS-linked Maute fighters and the members of the Philippine military in Marawi, a city in Mindanao, which is located in the southern part of the country.
On May 23, Maute fighters descended upon Marawi and attacked the residents, setting on fire several buildings and taking hundreds of people as hostages after a failed military "surgical operation" to take out Isnilon Hapilon.
Hapilon is known to be the leader of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group that pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2014. He is listed among the FBI's most wanted, with a $5 million bounty on his head.
When the military found out where he was holed up in Marawi, they proceeded to launch the surgical operation, only to discover that the core leaders of the Maute fighters, another terrorist group affiliated with ISIS, was there with him.
Gunfire erupted between the soldiers and the militants. The clash that ensued prompted Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte to declare a 60-day martial law over the entire island of Mindanao, a move highly criticized by several groups saying the problem could be addressed without such proclamation.
According to a video recently obtained by the Associated Press, the Marawi attack was carefully planned, including the siege of several buildings and the closure of certain highways, "so the people will get scared."
The AP report also named Hapilon as the purported leader of ISIS in the Southeast Asia region.
The government estimated the number of local and foreign ISIS-linked fighters in Marawi at 400 to 500. Last week, reports confirmed the presence of foreign terrorists in the city who joined the Marawi attack.
According to local sources, there were about 40 militants from other countries, such as Saudi, Yemen, Indonesia, India, Chechnya, Morocco, Malaysia, Turkey and Pakistan, raising speculations that ISIS could be attempting to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia through the Philippines, as its grip in Syria and Iraq weakens.
"IS is shrinking in Iraq and Syria, and decentralizing in parts of Asia and the Middle East," Rohan Gunaratna, security expert at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, said according to Reuters.
"One of the areas where it is expanding is Southeast Asia and the Philippines is the center of gravity," he added.
However, the Philippine government did not agree with the Indonesian defense minister that there are 1,200 ISIS fighters in the Philippines, saying there is "no proof yet of the presence of foreign fighters."
Restituto Padilla Jr., spokesperson for the military, said the Ryacudu's announcement at Sunday's international security forum "came as a surprise."
"The revelations of the Indonesian defense minister is something that came as a surprise to us because as what was mentioned by senior defense officials, in truth, we don't have those numbers," Padilla said at a press conference, according to local media outlet SunStar Manila.
Unlike earlier reports saying there are 40 foreign militants in Marawi, Padilla said ground commanders spotted 50 foreign terrorists in the city.
This is in contradiction to presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella's statement that the government has not yet confirmed how many ISIS fighters there are in the country at present.
"It is clear that the violence in Marawi is being waged by both Philippine and international criminals," Abella said.
He added that Mindanao "has long been a refuge (for) fugitives from Indonesia, Malaysia, and other locations."
Marawi residents who were able to escape told of the Maute fighters' brutal killing of Christians who were not able to leave the city. The residents said the militants separated the Christians from the Muslims and killed them.
Colonel Edgard Arevalo, spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), confirmed reports that the militants are separating the Christians from the Muslims.
"It's sad that we are getting reports from the ground that the terrorists are separating fleeing Christians and Muslim," he said, according to ABS-CBN. "They are letting the Muslims go but not the Christians.
Yet, in the midst of terrorist attacks, some Muslim residents secretly sheltered Christians in their homes and helped them flee to safety, sparing them from certain death.
On Saturday, a number of residents braved the snipers and shielded the Christians from the terrorists as they marched out of the city. They also hid the identity of the Christians when Maute fighters stopped them and asked if there were Christians in the group.
As of Monday, the total number of people rescued from Marawi has reached 1,450.

TULSA, Okla. – Prosecutors in Oklahoma have dismissed a rape charge against a retired Tulsa Oilers hockey player from Canada.
The Tulsa World reports that defense attorney Kent Hudson says he believes prosecutors don't have enough evidence to prosecute 50-year-old Doug Lawrence on charges of first-degree rape and sexual battery.
District Attorney Stephen Kunzweiler says prosecutors determined the case was "untenable," and dismissed the charges without prejudice, meaning his office could refile them later.
Court records show prosecutors allege Lawrence touched a woman's breast without her consent and raped her in 2017. Lawrence pleaded not guilty and was scheduled to go on trial Monday, the same day the charges were dismissed.
Lawrence, of Richmond, British Columbia, spent nine seasons playing for the Tulsa Oilers.
