July 2010 — "The book that represents the most heroic undertaking in the name of Madeira wine history is not only by an American, it focuses on America's place in this wine's Rich History. David Hancock finally published Oceans of Wine this past fall, having been researching it (by his own account) for seventeen years ... And so Oceans of Wine is fundamentally different from all the other books that have added to our knowledge of Madeira."

Maritime traffic has increased in the Baltic Sea as well in the Arctic Sea in recent years. As the climate becomes warmer this trend is expected to continue. Statistics shows that for ice-going vessels propeller damages are predominant among all ice navigation incidents. Upgrading the propeller ice class should however be avoided because it is at the cost of the propulsion efficiency. Instead, in the proposed project, we target at enhancing a propeller's ice performance while keeping its open-water profile. This is supposed to be achieved by implementing laser surface treatment on the propeller blades. The proposed procedure is expected to improve energy efficiency of Swedish ships and thus boost the competitiveness of Swedish shipping industry. The knowledge gained in this study is expected to be beneficial for developing next generation Swedish icebreakers.

TRYING TO FIND "original Dandelions"? Looking for the latest info. on a Dandelion artist? Want to tell everyone how great Dandelion was? Then this is the place to be ...
Thank you for making this site, Trevor. Actually the only Dandelion artists I know are Lol Coxhill and Bridget St John, but I hope to find CDs of some of the others some day.
Because of my limited knowledge, I'm not the right person to provide articles for Wikipedia on any of this stuff -- but I noticed yesterday that there was really very little there, so I (as "Hoary") have just created an article on Dandelion Records and one on Bridget St John that I hope (i) are better than nothing and (ii) have no mistakes.
Now, the rules of Wikipedia (to which I'm very new myself) prescribe a neutral point of view and proscribe original research, so people shouldn't just jump in and write willy-nilly . . . but if you or the other readers of this BBS would like to add material, I'm sure it would be appreciated. (Well, I would appreciate it, even if nobody else would!)
Anyway, do take a look, and if you don't like what you see but don't want to get involved in the editing rigmarole, just email me and -- time permitting -- I'll fix it.
Peter -
Thanks for the posting, and for the Wikipedia entry.
Looks pretty accurate to me, but feel free to use any of the info in the main Dandelion site above if you're carrying out further research.
Anyone wishing to get hold of the See For Miles re-release CDs should be able to turn them up by entering "Artist Name" "See For Miles" (both in quotes) into a decent search engine - say, Google. There are plenty of copies around.
Also, should anyone be interested, the "Fresh Dandelions" page at http://www.geocities.com/trevormidgley/FreshDandelions.html gives details of later recordings by former Dandelion acts.
All the best -

Banned from owning horses
A Colorado judge ordered a former American Quarter Horse breeder guilty of animal abuse to begin serving her jail sentence Thursday night.
It comes after Sherri Brunzell exhausted her appeals in the case.
Brunzell's ten horses, including an emaciated Dual Peppy, along with llamas, were found living in a crypt-like Black Forest barn in late 2014. It contained the decomposing remains of the horses' 14 former stablemates.
An El Paso jury convicted Brunzell of 8 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty almost two years ago.
Judge Stephen Sletta upheld his original sentence despite the defense's request for work release for his client. He ordered Brunzell to report to the county jail by 7 p.m. to begin serving her 60-day jail term.
Once released, Brunzell begins a 5-year probation term.
The judge banned her from owning or possessing livestock, including horses and llamas.

Japanese version
Recently I saw this advertisement, ``For the finance specialists: Let's start from the simple thing.'' I assume the simple thing means, 1+1=2. I try to explain in this blog that how to teach 1 + 1 to a machine. I took more than eight months and yet not quite complete. (By the way, this is a tobacco advertisement.)
For human beings, this seems simple. But once you want to teach what 1+1 means to a machine, you must know more about it. For example, we discussed what is the numbers, and we represent it as Church numbers since a machine does not know what the meaning of '1' or '2''s sign. Someone may think this is paranoia since this is so natural.
I believe ``natural'' does not mean simple. It is just familiar to us. It is not simple at all for me. Some of you might feel it is natural to spend time with your family or your lover. But it is just you are familiar with that, it is not simple thing. It is important for me to see back into the natural things.
I would like to conclude this Hitchhiker's guide to λ calculus at the moment.
One day, I searched lambda calculus in Wikipedia. It said, ``it can be verified that PLUS 2 3 and 5 are equivalent lambda expressions.'' on the PLUS function. However, I did not understand how it works. I needed a large help of my friends. I do not want to forget about this. This is the motivation of writing this blog.
We talked about what is λ calculus, why people care about that, and several concrete examples. I hope this blog could help the people like me.
But this is not everything about the λ calculus. λ calculus is deep, I am hardly just open the door of this area. I still do not understand combinators. If I could understand it, I would like to continue this blog. I learned that writing is learning or teaching is learning. Also I learned that I could write an article only if I really like it.
I try to keep this article more understandable in informal way. I did neither mention about formal λexpression construction method, nor conversion procedure (α-conversion, β-conversion, and η-conversion). If you wan to know further, Wikipedia would be a good starting point.
Thanks to Uchida to give me the cue to write this blog. Thanks to my friends Hoedicke and Rehders to help to understand the examples. Thanks to Maeda who gave me an implementation of Y combinator. This blog is dedicated to my friend Tateoka. I wanted to show him this blog, but unfortunately it is not possible anymore.

Cannes: Saban Buys Dystopian Thriller 'The Girl With All the Gifts'
Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine and Glenn Close star.
Saban Films is picking up its second film in Cannes: the dystopian thriller The Girl With All the Gifts.
The company is closing U.S. distribution rights for the project directed by Colm McCarthy and written by Mike Carey. The film stars Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close and Sennia Nanua.
Set in a dystopian world, The Girl With All the Gifts centers on a seemingly normal and very intelligent little girl who lives in an underground army bunker with other children her age. A group of scientists, led by Dr. Caldwell (Close), are examining them to find a cure for a fungal spore that has infected the planet.
The British Film Institute and Creative England financed the film, which was produced by Camille Gatin and Angus Lamont. Altitude Film Sales is handling international sales.
"Carey has adapted his novel into a film with an unmatched level of cataclysm," said Saban Films' Bill Bromiley. "The Girl With All the Gifts is a sophisticated movie, with McCarthy's vision and this dynamic cast, and we know that our audiences will be hooked from start to finish."
Bromiley and Ness Saban negotiated the deal on behalf of Saban Films, with Altitude's Mike Runagall representing the filmmakers.
Saban also picked up U.S. rights for John Michael McDonagh's War on Everyone, starring Michael Pena and Alexander Skarsgard, on Thursday in Cannes.

Dear friends, when I was walking on the Amber Road through contemporary areas of Czech Republic, Poland, Kaliningrad Oblast, Austria and Italy I went on foot nearly 2000 kilometres, and I got to Aquileia. As the first European woman, I crossed the Europe in the footsteps of Celts and Roman merchants. And now, during Polish Culture Days in Austria I would like to propose You walking along the Danube. Please, don't be afraid, it won't be exhausted route, but only several kilometers from Vienna to Klosterneuburg. The beginning point is Michaelerplatz. In the splendour times of Vindobona it was civil city (canabae legionis) in this place. A blacksmith workshop and tavern was situated here, so buyers could stay to rest. In this point two main road crossed: the limes road and the road to the legionary fortress. In turn, there was fort of Arrianis on Klosterneuburg area. Next to the Arrianis was ford across Danube.
Similar river crossings were in Lentia (Linz) and Lauriacum (Enns). It was the northern border of the Roman Empire and the Barbaricum.
Danube in Linz
The comprehensive road network was one of the reasons why the Romans could keep their power in the whole Mediterranean area for a long time. To supply all people with food in Vindobona's area, active trade from near and far developed. Besides waterways, therefore, well-constructed roads were required. In border disputes or internal revolts, the quick mobility of troops was possible. Vindobona was linked to all main roads (like the one to Italy - the Amber road) and regional transport routes.
Roman road in Aquileia
There, along the upper and middle Danube were: legionary fortress, watch towers, which were connected in defends system of Noricum and Pannonian limes. Apart from numerous military bases, there were custom stations on this main border road. They controlled trade with transdanubian people. From these starting points of the Roman frontier, the amber route, led merchants to the south coast of Baltic Sea. Earlier trade of amber was one activity of Celts. Celts adapted inventions to their needs. Skills of finding raw materials became opportunities to functioning trade and craft centres. Those settlement (oppida) made the trail net, where intense trade exchange took place. They guided towards to the mouth of the Odra and Vistula, and to groups of settlements on the western shore of Gdansk Bay.
Baltic coast on the Sambia
Trade exchange along amber roads and routes (crossings by Danube) connected communities which were located hundreds of miles apart between the Adriatic Sea and the Baltic Sea.

Mark Robins says both he and his players welcome the distraction of the FA Cup - and the challenge of facing a £14m striker.
The Coventry City boss has seen his side lose their last three fixtures and slip out of the play-off places.
The latest reverse came in frustrating fashion at Colchester on Tuesday night as the Sky Blues conceded an 88th minute winner.
However, Robins says his players have picked themselves up straight away - with the 64 league places between them and fifth round opponents Brighton enough of a motivator.
As is the prospect of facing former PSV star Jurgen Locadia.
"We are all excited. I have seen a difference in the players and they're looking forward to it," the manager told the club website.
"We need to get to get back on the pitch after Tuesday as fast as possible. It is a great stadium and a great place to go.
"There is no better game for us really because it gives us a break from the league and a chance to go toe-to-toe with Premier League opponents.
"This game is a distraction, but a good distraction. We have had a great run and played some great games along the way. This is another one in that line.
"If we didn't go into the game feeling it was winnable then there would be no point going.
"The difference between the two sides is there for everyone to see, and to top it off they are going to be starting their record £14m signing."
Despite recent results, the Sky Blues manager says that he has been surprised by his players' eagerness to put things right.
"After Tuesday night, I thought it was going to be hard work to pick the players up but they have been brilliant.
"Everything we spoke about after the game are there for people to see. We have had plenty of injuries and we have a small squad.
"I think tomorrow [Saturday] be as many as eight of the team that will travel have come from the academy.
"That is where we are at. We are not moaning about it and it is also a fantastic plus.
"We want to give a good account of ourselves. They are the hot favourites in the game, but anything can happen in the FA Cup."

"Sensible and proportionate expenditure on hospitality will remain perfectly lawful under the Bribery Act when it comes into force," director of the SFO, Richard Alderman, was quoted as saying.

Plant Based News has put together a new short film, documenting the downfall of dairy in 2017.
Film producer and PBN Founder Klaus Mitchell says: "There has been a lot of talk about cruelty in the dairy industry this year.
"Whether from personal accounts, media reports, undercover investigations, documentaries or otherwise - it has led to increased public awareness.
"This increased public awareness has prompted unprecedented responses from the dairy industry, which as this new Plant Based News film shows, has become a deceptive and dangerous force."

DuoPly is a leading supplier of EPDM roofing materials. Rubber roofing is great for garage roof replacement, shed roof repair and all flat roof solutions.
DuoPly is a 1.2mm thick EPDM rubber roof membrane that has been laminated to a polyester fleece layer for reinforcement.
This cushioning layer helps to prevent small imperfections or ridges from coming into contact with, and being visible through, the rubber roof membrane, making DuoPly ideal for installing over the top of most existing flat roof systems – and avoids the costly and time consuming job of removing the old system.
DuoPly provides leading rubber roofing systems for shed roof repairs, garage replacements and all rubber flat roofing.
In this respect, DuoPly is unique – standard EPDM is not bitumen compatible and can't be installed over existing shed felt or asphalt flat roofs.

Brands, Magazines Drop Testino, Weber After Model Allegations/
Burberry, Michael Kors, Condé Nast and more said they no longer would work with the photographers after allegations in a New York Times story.
Fashion brands and magazine titles quickly moved to sever ties with famed photographers Mario Testino and Bruce Weber after the allegations of sexual exploitation by both photographers in a New York Times story published on Saturday.
Meanwhile, speculation raged during the men's shows in Milan over which other well-known photographers might be caught up in the scandal, with some stylists and fashion editors saying up to 10 more names could come out. Sexual exploitation and harassment has long been known to take place during fashion shoots for the last several decades, but both brands and magazine editors have generally turned a blind eye to it, observers said.
Both Testino and Weber made their careers and fortunes on shooting ad campaigns, while editorial work pays much less. On Saturday, both Michael Kors and Stuart Weitzman said they would no longer be working with Testino on future advertising campaigns.
The sexual misconduct story comes amid a widening scandal in the fashion industry involving photographers' treatment of male and female models alike. On Saturday, WWD posted an open letter by male model Christopher Cates calling for models to stand up to harassment.
Condé Nast issued a statement Saturday condemning sexual exploitation of any kind.
"We are deeply disturbed by these accusations and take this very seriously, as previously noted in our statement regarding sexual harassment," said Bob Sauerberg, Condé's chief executive officer, and Anna Wintour, the publisher's artistic director and the editor in chief of Vogue, which has worked regularly with Testino for decades. Testino had a major role in the documentary on Vogue, "The September Issue," for example, and he has been a regular guest at the Met Gala overseen by Wintour.
"In light of these allegations, we will not be commissioning any new work with Bruce Weber or Mario Testino for the foreseeable future," their statement said.
A Condé spokesperson said separately that two projects with the photographers have already gone to press: A W fashion shoot with Weber and a Vogue shoot with Testino. "However, no new shoots will be commissioned," the spokesperson said.
Separately, Condé Nast International said in a statement that "in light of these allegations Condé Nast International will not be commissioning any new work with Mario Testino or Bruce Weber for the foreseeable future."
A company spokesperson for Michael Kors Holdings Ltd., said, "We recently learned of the allegations concerning Mario Testino. In light of the seriousness of these accusations, we will not be working with Mr. Testino on future advertising campaigns."
Wendy Kahn, chief executive officer and brand president of Stuart Weitzman, said in a statement, "We are deeply saddened by the allegations in today's article. We take these accusations very seriously and providing a safe and secure working environment where everyone feels respected is our foremost priority. As a result, we will not be working with Mario Testino for the foreseeable future."
It is understood that Burberry, which has not worked with Testino since 2016, has no plans to do so for the foreseeable future. Testino's most recent campaign for Burberry was for My Burberry Black with Lily James in August 2016.
A Burberry spokesperson said, "We take allegations of this nature very seriously. Burberry is committed to providing a just, safe and fair working environment and we have a zero-tolerance policy against any form of harassment, abuse or discrimination. The safety, security and welfare of the people with whom we work is a priority for Burberry and we seek to ensure all our partners adhere to our principles and policies and comply with all applicable laws and regulations."
A spokesperson for Ralph Lauren, which frequently uses Weber to shoot its ad campaigns, said, "The allegations reported in the recent New York Times article are completely contrary to our values, and to our commitment to creating an environment where our employees and outside partners feel welcome, safe and can perform at their best. We will not do business with anyone who behaves in a way that compromises this commitment."

David Foster reports on yesterday's news:
At the latest meeting of the Ladywood Ward Committee last night, we had very welcome news from Cllr Albert Bore, leader of BCC…
After years of disappointments, there will be a new swimming pool in Ladywood.
It will contain a 25m 8-lane competition-standard pool (2m depth throughout) with audience seating for 500, a 13m training pool, gym, dance studios, community rooms and some catering.
The pool is designed to attract regional and national youth level competitions, as well as providing swimming for local people.
The building will be in the same area as the old Ladywood swimming baths which fronted onto Ladywood Middleway; this should ensure good transport links. Although the project is seen as part of the Icknield Port Loop development, it is not conditional upon the rest of that project proceeding.
Contracts for the building and management of the facility will be signed in April 2015, for completion before the end of 2017. This is part of a much larger plan by the council for replacement and refurbishment of swimming pools across the city. They are funding this by using the current swimming pool subsidy more imaginatively.
It was not such good news on the NIA Community Hall. Cllr Bore stated that, as part of the process for selling its interest in the NIA/ICC group, the city council is imposing conditions on the new owner of the NIA. Specifically, it has stipulated that local schools should have priority use of the Community Hall – after the very first priority as warm-up for arena events. This is bad news for users of the Community Hall gym and exercise classes, which would seem to be doomed.
It seems that residents wanting local exercise facilities will have to wait until the new Ladywood Pool opens.

My husband with his cat, who refuses to sleep at night unless he's lying in my husband's arm.
My husband is training for a new job. He rises early in the morning and we watch one of our favorite television shows, then we walk our four dogs around 1 p.m. and he leaves for work at 2. He returns from work around midnight.
Today, while we were walking, I told him that I feed the dogs dinner then play with them at night and do a little writing, but sometimes I miss him so much when he's at work that I force myself to take a nap between 7 and 8 at night to make the time go faster, even when I'm not tired.
He was shocked--not that I take a nap, but that I would miss him that much! I was shocked to discover he didn't know.
"Are you kidding?" I asked him. "The dogs start watching the door around 11:30, waiting for you to come home. The cat sits on the edge of the bed and stares at the door, then runs into the hallway when he hears your truck in the driveway. Sometimes, the cat will start howling when he hears your truck! We all miss you!" He laughed. He had no idea that his wife and little zoo of animals missed him.
As a writer, I tend to think of myself as an expert in communications. Obviously, there are areas in my life where my communication skills could use improvement. In this one aspect of life, one of the most important, my ability to express my love, I have failed to communicate to my husband just how important he is to me, and how much it means to me just to be around him. I will not continue to make that mistake.

MEDINA — The sound of clothing tumbling in stainless steel washing and drying machines filled the room Friday as North Court Laundry opened its new location at 739 W. Liberty St
Owners Joe and Susan Paoletta celebrated with an official ribbon cutting ceremony Friday.
"We are the only business that had to move because of the road widening project there on (state Route) 42," Joe Paoletta said. "Everybody else either lost from frontage or had some adjustments to their entrance, but we were the only ones that had to physically move."
North Court Laundry officially reopened for business earlier this month after closing its North Court Street location last April, he said.
Mayor Dennis Hanwell presented the couple with a proclamation from the office of Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof, R-Montville.
The proclamation read in part, "Recognition of this special event is a fitting tribute to North Court Laundry for it's achieving a remarkable record of service to the area, earning the gratitude and appreciation of many satisfied customers," Hanwell said.
Katie Semo presented the couple with a certificate from the office of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's office.
Paoletta said the new location features 46 dryers and 26 washing machines, with the largest washing machines accommodating up to 80 pounds of clothing at once.
"We also added a do-it-yourself dog wash," he said. "So if people are at the dog park and they don't want to bring their dog home that is dirty they can just bring them here and wash them here."
Paoletta said the entire project cost about $500,000, with the couple receiving some assistance from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the city of Medina. The cost includes the move in the building and equipment.
"Between the Ohio Department of Transportation and the city, Susan and I, our family, we are able to continue on offering a greatly needed service to the city and we are really thrilled to be here," Paoletta said during the ceremony.
North Court Laundry will always have an attendant on duty to help address any customer questions or concerns, and also features a laundry drop-off service, Paoletta said.
"We could not have had a successful move without the support of a lot of people," he said. "Everyone from the mayor's office, the Building Department, the Fire Department, the Police Department — everybody really came together."
North Court Laundry is open 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. For more information, visit the laundry's Facebook page.

Dubai: Gennady Golovkin vs Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez II is widely expected to be one of the best fights of the year, and not just because they are considered the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
The first fighter between the Kazak knockout artists and Mexico's biggest boxing star was a thrill-a-minute rollercoaster ride that disappointing ended in a controversial draw.
Both fighters had their reasons to believe that they actually won the fight, but that is now history.
On Sunday, at approximately 8am UAE time, Golovkin, 36 and Alvarez, 28, will step into the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the second time in a bid to settle, once and for all, who is the true middleweight champion of the world.
And the best way either of them can achieve that, is by knocking out the other.
In the first fight Alvarez appeared to land the more eye-catching punches but reigning champion Golovkin landed a higher volume, particularly during the middle rounds of the 12-round contest.
As the bell goes at the start of the opening round, both fighters will already know what to expect for each other in terms of power and resilience. This is obvious, and to some extent comforting, if that is the appropriate word.
But then again, will things have changed, like strategy, technique and above all power?
My guess is, we will see something new in all three areas of importance.
Golovkin has never lost in 36 fights, so he must be doing something right, and not just with his explosive fists or heart. The same can be said of Alvarez.
But I think, while the Khazak will most likely stick to tried and tested methods, Alvarez will attempt something new. He already looks better than ever and the more muscular of the two fighters, what with his menacing six-pack and power punches that he threw at the punching bag and sparring partners during his training camp at his second home in San Diego, California.
One thing is obvious from extensive training, sparring sessions and diet, Alvarez is concentrating on boosting his power, in a bid to hand Golovkin the fight defeat of his career, and through a knockout.

Challenge & Approach
To penetrate an already saturated news app market a modern, simple and effective UI needed to be developed. To challenge our designers even more the app needed to show ads in a way that does not make the reading experience bad. Starting with a one month concepting and prototyping sprint, in close cooperation with the customer, the first version of the app was released in just 2 months.
For the first time there is a news app that looks and feels different from the other main stream news apps. Users have taken the new design well and user amounts are steadily growing. For the first time MTV can serve Android users with a proper mobile application. Development continues for the Android version and also iOS and WP versions of the same application. This project has been a starting point for the customer to understand the benefits of on site continuous development.

There are few historical civilisations that capture the imagination quite like the Ancient Egyptians. The remarkable treasures that they left behind are by far the biggest draw for visitors to Egypt, and this remains one of the most exciting destinations in the world. Channel your inner Indiana Jones and explore the pyramids of Giza, the temples of Abu Simbel and the magnificent Valley of the Kings. Just the names of these extraordinary places are enough to conjure up images of dimly lit burial chambers, mysterious hieroglyphics etched into stone, and the gilded mask of Tutankhamun.
Of course there is more to this complex country than the pyramids, and Egypt is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in contemporary politics and the changing face of the Arab world. The colourful and often chaotic capital, Cairo, may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you really want to get under the skin of Egypt then this is the place to start. Beyond the narrow strip of greenery that hugs the Nile are the rolling dunes of the Sahara Desert, one of the world's most starkly beautiful landscapes, while the Red Sea coast is a magnet for snorkellers and scuba divers.

No barefeet required — the winery has machines for that Crushing will continue every Saturday through October 7th. CoOp members can come once, or come all four Saturdays. Lots of sips of wine are included at every CoOp event.
What's a wine co-op? It's a group of individuals or pairs who come together to learn about wine, socialize and make wine. Everyone buys shares of the CoOp and is involved in crushing and pressing grapes, transporting it into barrels and tanks to ferment and follows the 10-month wine making process. When the wine is ready, members of the CoOp bottle it, cork it, name their own vintage, put a personal label on it and take home a few cases of the wine they made.
Each share costs $540. A share gets the shareholder 3 cases of wine and entry to all CoOp related and exclusive winery events. It's a great activity for a pair of friends who like wine and/or couples to share in together.

On Expectations
"The best things in life are unexpected—because there were no expectations." –Eli Khamarov
I enjoy not having expectations. It's not that I'm afraid of disappointment if my expectations aren't met; it's that I like being surprised. I like experiencing things without the shadow of my own preconceptions. But, I'm human, and, in spite of my best efforts, I still end up expecting some things as if they're a certainty.
For example, I had expected to spend this past weekend making lesson plans. Yesterday, Monday, I had expected to celebrate being in Fianar for a month. This week, I expected to start teaching English to the students at SALT. I expected the first week of November to be my first official week teaching at FaFaFi. I expected my first day at Amboaloboka to happen the week after. Three weeks from now, I expected my schedule to be solidified and my days to be filled with teaching.
Instead, I spent this past weekend cleaning my apartment and packing. Yesterday, I spent the day in a car with two of my fellow Madagasgals as we road-tripped back to Antananarivo. This week, all of the Madagascar YAGMs and our country coordinator will be flying to South Africa together. We will have our first retreat in South Africa, during which we'll process and discuss our experiences thus far. Three weeks from now, we'll hopefully be returning to Madagascar and our host communities.
Obviously, reality did not match my expectations.
For those of you who don't know, for the past couple of months, cases of plague in Madagascar have been on the rise. Plague is endemic to Madagascar, which means there are cases every year. The difference this year is that there have been cases in cities; normally, plague affects the countryside. Additionally, the strand currently spreading is the pneumonic plague, which can be passed relatively easily via coughing. Because of these factors and others, the YAGM program has decided to temporarily relocate all of the volunteers in Madagascar to South Africa, where we will have time to assess the situation. We plan to return to our host communities in mid-November. I want to emphasize that none of us were in immediate danger. I never felt unsafe or afraid in Fianar. Our relocation to South Africa is precautionary.
"The best things in life are unexpected—because there were no expectations."
I'm not saying that our temporary relocation is the best thing that could have possibly happened. I'm not saying I'm happy to leave my host community. I'm definitely not saying that I'm glad the plague happened so that I could travel to another country. I am, however, embracing the unexpected. While this is not how I expected to spend the third month of my YAGM year, I am hopeful and excited that it might just exceed my expectations in ways that I never could have imagined before. I am grateful for the reminder that it's okay when expectations aren't meant. I trust that God has a plan. And I am ready for the unexpected.
Ny Tranoko (My House)
It's crazy to think that I've been in Fianar for almost three weeks already! Some days it feels like I just arrived, and other days it feels like I've lived here for a long time. Even though I'm still waiting to solidify my teaching schedule, I am feeling very settled into life at SALT, thanks to my amazing host family (more about them to come later!) and the welcoming community. SALT stands for "Sekoly Ambony Loterana momba ny Teôlôjia" (Lutheran University of Theology), and it is the seminary where I both live and teach.
I live in a complex called Villa MELCAM. MELCAM stands for "Missionaries of the ELCA in Madagascar"; the name is a souvenir from a time when the U.S. had a strong missionary presence in this country. The subdivided building used to house American missionaries, and now it's used for guests--like me!
The biggest room is my living room and bedroom (above on the left). Yep, I sleep in the living room! (And, yes, Mom, I did make my bed just for this post.) And on the right, surprise! Another bedroom.
And last but not least, here's what the back of the building looks like.
My apartment is much different from a typical Madagascan home. In the words of my country coordinator, I'm living in "vazaha land" (vazaha is a term for foreigners). And I am. I am incredibly privileged to be living in such a gigantic apartment furnished with wifi, electricity, and running water. I have more space than I will ever need, and that's taking some getting used to.
Face the Waste
Today I took out the garbage for the first time.
You might be thinking, "Okay . . . so what?" Or, "Why are you wasting a blog post to talk about garbage?" Trust me, I didn't think I would be blogging about trash, either.
This is a picture of my dumpster, if you will. You'll notice that there are no metal trash cans, no wheeled plastic garbage bins, nor a big industrial dumpster. There's definitely not a separate place for recycling. In all honesty, it just looks like a bunch of garbage that someone threw on the ground.
And that's exactly what it is.
When I take out the garbage in the U.S., I separate the recyclables from the trash. I rinse out the cans and bottles and collapse the cardboard boxes. I neatly tie up all the trash in plastic bag. I carry the garbage bag out to the side of the house, where three different wheeled trash cans await: one for trash, one for recycling, and one for yard waste. I open the lid, toss my bag on top of the others, and shut the lid. Once a week, I wheel the trash can down the driveway and leave it on the curb. When I'm away at school or at work, a garbage truck comes and empties the can, carting all my trash away. I come home, check to make sure the trash can is empty, and wheel it back up the driveway to start the cycle again.
When I took out the garbage here, I didn't separate the recyclables from the trash. I didn't bundle up the garbage into a nice, neat bag. I grabbed the bucket of compost from under my kitchen sink, the small plastic garbage can from my living room/bedroom, and the other plastic garbage can from my bathroom. I carried them outside, past the two homes next to mine, and around the back of the building, near the pig pen, where a shallow pit, blackened from fires past, awaited. I hesitated, thoroughly uncomfortable with what I was about to do. And then I dumped the contents of all three of my garbage cans on to the ground.
When I took out the garbage here, I could literally see the impact that my actions and my waste had on the environment. And it's pretty sickening. In the U.S., we are so removed from our waste. In the neighborhood where I grew up, no one had to cart their own garbage to the dump. I don't think I've ever seen the place where my garbage disappears to. All of the garbage cans in my neighborhood have lids on them so that we don't have to see the trash. We even line the garbage cans in our homes with bags so that the can doesn't get dirty. The garbage trucks come when we're gone, so that when we come home, we don't have to spare the trash a second thought. It's just gone. Taken care of. Out of sight, out of mind.
Here, most people burn their garbage. If it doesn't get burned, it piles up—in yards, on sidewalks, along the roads. Waste is never "out of sight, out of mind" because you always see it. In America, we would call this ever-present garbage littering. We would call it pollution. We would call it gross, dirty, and unsanitary. We would probably assume it's an environmentally irresponsible method of waste disposal. But, how different is it really from what happens to our garbage in the U.S.? Sure, our roads are relatively clean, the sidewalks are pretty clear aside from the occasional piece of litter, and people's yards are generally garbage-free. But our garbage doesn't just disappear. The garbage collectors don't wave their magic wands over the containers at the end of driveways, and poof! the trash vanishes into thin air. They bring it somewhere. All of those containerfuls of nice, neat plastic bags from hundreds and hundreds of houses—guess what? They pile up. Just like the garbage does here. I'll admit, I don't know exactly what we do with all the garbage in the U.S.; burn it, compress it, bury it, and maybe reuse some of it? We can't get rid of it all, though. It piles up somewhere. In huge amounts. We just forget about it because we don't see it.
Did you know that, according to the EPA (and this really cool infographic they published), the average American produces 4.4 pounds of waste per day? That means, on average, each person produces 1,606 pounds (almost a ton) of waste each year. That's ridiculous. And nobody wants to think about that. Nobody wants to face how much damage they personally do to the planet. I know I don't. It's so much easier, so much more comfortable, not to spare my garbage a second thought after I wheel it down to the curb.
But if I created that much waste here, my own two hands would be dumping 30.8 pounds worth of garbage directly on to the earth every week.
I'm not saying that I think every person in the U.S. should have to carry their own garbage to the dump. I'm not saying we should start burning our own trash in our backyards. I'm not saying we should do away with garbage trucks altogether so that we're forced to face our waste.
All I'm saying is that maybe our garbage is worth a second thought, no matter how uncomfortable that second thought might make us.

Project in the Morava-Thaya Wetlands increases nature-friendly tourism and boosts eco-awareness
The Ramsar Eco NaTour project brings nature-friendly tourism to the Morova-Thaya Wetlands in Austria and Slovakia, and nearby Marchfeld. Both are Ramsar-designated protected areas for their valuable land and wide variety of wildlife and plant species. The project brings value to the land by creating recreational areas for the urban cities of Vienna and Bratislava, and by enhancing local awareness and regional cooperation on climate change and protecting biodiversity.
Managing tourism
Though both countries along the March/Morava River use the land differently, the nature protection challenges are similar for Austria and Slovakia and the project worked on a local level in both countries. The project was able to create a cross-border map of the Morava-Thaya Wetlands by outlining focus areas for preservation and determining the most promising sites for tourism development. The map offered guidelines and recommendations for different areas of the wetlands, including "nature-priority" areas and recreational areas. This map enables tourist activities to be managed in accordance with nature-protection guidelines, and tourists and locals to enjoy the wetlands while still preserving their ecosystem.
A historical windmill was also recreated with a showroom in its basement featuring tours, multilingual exhibits, and information to draw visitors. Information on dry habitats in the cross-border area will be on permanent display as an exhibit in the windmill.
Education and awareness
Educating the public and raising awareness about the importance of conserving the Ramsar designated areas was a key component of the project. Schools and interested citizens in both countries came together to create model preservation concepts for selected habitats in Marchfeld and the Morava-Thaya Wetlands. Teachers and project ambassadors will carry on these efforts by continuing work on additional projects and educating others in the area.
Eco-pedagogues were also trained on nature preservation and will continue to raise awareness and work on additional conservation projects. The Eco NaTour project included sustained education programmes to motivate school children and nature guides in selected schools. Projects focused on sand dunes, water animals, dry habitats and more. The project worked on a local level in order to ensure that efforts could remain effective over time, as the local community is more likely to stay involved in the long run.
Total Investment and EU Funding
Total investment for the project "Ramsar EcoNaTour" was EUR 505 960, with the EU's European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 430 050 under the Operational Programme "Cross Border Cooperation Program Slovakia-Austria" for the 2007-2013 programming period, under the priority axis "cooperation and joint management of protected areas."

Work at the Canandaigua track to prepare for season's first race is behind schedule because of weather, but Saturday practice is open to public
For the second time in two tries, poor weather conditions have forced promoter Paul Cole to drop a scheduled practice day at Land of Legends Raceway.
The special warm-up session slated for Thursday has been moved to Saturday afternoon, pushing back the long-awaited season-opening 'Saturday Spectacular' to April 21.
"The little bit of snow we had over the weekend didn't affect us as much as the high winds, we lost three straight days of electric work that are really significant this time of year," said Cole, pointing to the seven new light poles still awaiting installation. "The grounds are just not yet ready for a full race night. I really feel bad but would much rather be ahead of the game than behind to begin a new season."
All classes are welcome to participate in hot laps on Saturday. Gates open at 12:30 p.m. with the track going green at 2 p.m. (final checkered flag thrown at 5).
Grandstand general admission is free to the public and the pit fee is $20. Concessions will be available.
"I'm reminding all spectators to park at their own risk," Cole added. "I know the grounds are not prepared to accommodate 80-some haulers right now with parts of the main parking lot and pit area still too wet and soft. We're just in need of some clear weather to get everything dried out."
The lead-off 'Saturday Spectacular' on April 21 at the legendary Ontario County Fairgrounds half-miler boasts a full show of Pepsi Big-Block Modified, Donath Motor Worx Sportsman, Mike Emhof Motorsports 305 Sprint Car, Street Stock and New Legends Sportsman qualifying and feature race action. Front grandstand gates open at 5 p.m. and racing begins promptly at 7 p.m.
The adult grandstand ticket price is $15 for all Saturday Spectaculars, $13 for seniors (65 and older) while 16 and under are free with a paid adult. Reserved Grandstand seating for a weekly show is $17 and $2 for all children 16 and under. Seniors 65+ are $15.
2017 round one winners Steve Paine (Mod), Matt Guererri (Spt), Bob Buono (Sts) and Lee Sanders (305) will be seeking a return visit to victory lane in the landmark 55th lid-lifter at LOLR. Defending Big-Block champion Matt Sheppard (2016), reigning Sportsman titlist Dave Marcuccilli (2015), all-time Canandaigua sprint car winner Darryl Ruggles (2015) and Street Stock veteran Mike Welch (2013) were the last opening-day feature winners to finish off the same season atop the final point standings.
"We're really looking forward to finally getting the season underway after all the work that's gone in restoring the facility," said LOLR Race Director Greg Hixson, the 1991 Canandaigua track champion who also went on to capture the overall Mr. DIRT Sportsman crown that same year. "Everybody will love the new LED lighting when it's all finished and the racers in particular will be happy when speakers are once again mounted in the pits."

Politics & Government
UNC faculty members, in letter to parents, support Silent Sam strike and withholding grades
Protesters march and call for professors to strike against BOT recommendation for Silent Sam
More than 200 UNC-Chapel Hill faculty members have signed an open letter to students' parents and guardians, asking them to support striking graduate student instructors and the permanent removal of the Silent Sam Confederate statue from campus.
"Please contact university leaders, including Chancellor Carol Folt, Provost Bob Blouin, and Chairman of the Board Haywood Cochrane Jr. to make your views known and request that Silent Sam and other Confederate statues not be allowed on our campus," said the letter, issued just days before the UNC system Board of Governors could decide the statue's fate.
As far as the proposed strike, the university so far has not "received any specific reports of grades not being submitted or observed any irregular activity," UNC spokeswoman Joanne Peters Denny said Wednesday.
Letters of support for those fighting Silent Sam kept coming in, however, including from former DaVanta Parker, president of the N.C. Central University Student Government Association. Park sent a letter to the UNC system Board of Governors on Tuesday backing UNC student activists.
"While we as a country and state have made great strides in disavowing white supremacy and ensuring equality for all, there is still much work to be done," Parker said. "And this work includes the permanent removal of the Silent Sam statue, as well as addressing other problematic representations on campuses across the UNC System that reflect racism, bigotry and hatred."
The letter is one of more than 20 statements released recently in support of the effort to keep Silent Sam off campus. A news release Wednesday afternoon noted that more than 800 UNC graduate students, faculty, current and former athletes, undergraduates and alumni and community members have signed letters of support, in addition to 565 faculty from universities nationwide.
The N.C. State Conference of the American Association of University Professors, while it did not endorse the UNC faculty petition, told its members "we are following the issue closely and speaking out when the situation requires it."
Folt and the Chapel Hill campus Board of Trustees have been criticized for a proposed $5.3 million university history center that also would house Silent Sam. The chosen site on South Campus also has drawn fire for being near student dorms, the Carolinas Veterans Resource Center and the Chapel Hill Kehillah Synagogue.
Rabbi Jennifer Feldman and members of the Kehillah Synagogue questioned the site in a letter Tuesday to UNC administrators, saying it "creates an immediate and lasting security threat for our congregation, staff members, building and property, as well as for the children who come to preschool here."
The UNC system's Board of Governors will consider the plan Friday morning at the Friday Center. The meeting will not include time for public comment, according to the Board of Governors website.
The UNC Faculty Council has petitioned the university twice — and backed petitions from African-American faculty, students and other groups — to remove the statue. On Friday, the council voted to appoint a representative committee and seek a role in planning the statue's future.
UNC's administrators ignored student and faculty pleas, the letter said, noting a strike that about 80 teaching assistants and instructors joined last week. The strike could delay final grades for more than 2,200 students, depending on the BOG's vote.
If the BOG rejects the proposed center, the students' grades will be released, according to multiple demands posted online last week.
Other demands must be met to stop the protests, the SilenceSam.com post stated, including more details about a national security panel's recommendations for enhancing UNC police capabilities and withdrawing a plan to increase student fees to pay for building maintenance.
The N.C. Historical Commission also must approve moving the statue. Folt has said the center, which could cost about $800,000 a year to operate, could be built, possibly with state money, by 2022.
The strike met with a swift warning from UNC officials that instructors who withhold grades could face "serious consequences." The strike exposes the university to lawsuits, UNC College of Arts and Sciences leaders said, and could negatively affect students' academic careers and futures.
Instructors also were warned against using their classroom role to recruit student support for the strike.
Some North Carolina residents, like Jay Schalin, with the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, have called for UNC to expel instructors who withhold grades and fire faculty who disrupt the campus in support of a strike. The instructors are blackmailing the university, Schalin argued in an online column Wednesday, and UNC officials should "call their bluff" or expect more problems in the future.
"When you not only disrupt your employer's operations but deny the rights of clients (students) to what they have paid for and earned, then of course you should be sent packing," he wrote. "The public universities should not be some special sanctuary where no repercussions are ever felt no matter how you behave."
Schalin, in a phone interview, said the injury that activists say Silent Sam is causing is just emotional, but the potential harm to other students of withholding grades is very real. He doesn't agree with spending taxpayer dollars to build the history center, but the school and the state have sought a civil solution, Schalin said.
"I think you're either going to have to display Silent Sam somewhere on campus and anger the unruly mob, or take him off campus and anger the great majority of the people," he said. "In this case, I'm saying let's anger the unruly mob. It's time they learn that being violent doesn't work."
UNC faculty argued in Monday's letter that educators have an obligation to continue "dismantling systemic racism in our schools, on our college campuses, and in our democratic society."
"At its core, educating is, quite simply, the process of facilitating learning. It is providing a learning environment in which everyone can participate. We take our responsibility for educating your children — our students — very seriously. It is what we have committed our professional lives to do," faculty said.
Keeping Silent Sam on campus, they added, may violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act guarantee of a discrimination-free educational environment.
"By failing to remove Silent Sam from our campus, university leaders are making it impossible for us to do our jobs," faculty said. "They are forcing us to sacrifice Black students and others on our campus who feel intimidated in the face of explicit symbols of hate every single day."
No matter what decision the Board of Governors makes on Friday, the protests already are slated to continue with an "Heirs To The Confederacy Prayer Service" from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at McCorkle Place. A social media post Wednesday noted a counterprotest could start at the university's Winter Commencement ceremony, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Dean Smith Center.
UNC is aware of the planned protests, said Derek Kemp, associate vice chancellor for campus safety and risk, but the university does not require or grant permits to assemble on campus.
"As a matter of protocol, UNC Police reach out to any group that is willing to work with them to learn their plans, develop a safety plan, including entrance and exit, and ensure that opposing groups have separate spaces," Kemp said. "As we learned from the events in Charlottesville, one of the most effective ways of ensuring safety is to keep counter-protest groups separate."
