Agent Focus
Company profile
Mountgrange Heritage is an estate agent with a difference; we are owned by the people who run the company day to day. When we say that each client is treated as an individual, we really mean it.
Typical properties
We don't believe in pigeon holing our business so we don't have a 'typical' property. We are capable and competent in selling or letting one bedroom apartments or large family houses. We tend to attract interesting (often creative) clients who want to work with a switched-on independent agency rather than dealing with the big High Street chains.
Where did it all start?
We opened our first office on Notting Hill Gate in 1999 and subsequently opened in Stratford Road, Kensington in 2006. We hope to open a third office by the end of the year.
Your most interesting property sold/let?
An amazing house in Newton Road (just off Westbourne Grove) which was a treasure trove of salvage yard idiosyncrasies and antiques, they also had four bee hives on the roof! Our clients were fabulous and so much fun to deal with.
Favourite place in the office area?
I love the vibrancy and honesty of Golborne Road, it's like Portobello used to feel before the tourists took over. I also adore Stratford Village in Kensington, everyone knows everyone else, there's a real sense of community in the city.
Market comment
International wealth has driven the property market in prime Central London for the last few years, the acute lack of supply has further underpinned the market and resulted in record prices being achieved. The next few months will be quite telling, as we come out of the quieter summer market we will know fairly quickly what impact, if any, the most recent global financial crisis has had on the market here. The one thing we can predict with confidence is that Central London will remain the sweetheart of global property, both in terms of investment and as a place to live.
Quick fire round
Last book you read – The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas – weird but wonderful!
Favourite holiday destination – Can I choose three? India, Greece, Lake District.
Favourite Movie – I'm a big fan of most of Cohen Brothers films.
Famous person you admire – Ranulph Fiennes, he appeals to my 'inner-adventurer'.

A serious accident on the M1 has led to delays of up to 85 minutes and the closure of the motorway's southbound lanes on a busy Northamptonshire stretch.
The collision saw a foreign registered lorry crash and embed itself into the embankment on southbound between junctions 15 and 14 near Salcey Forest.
The driver is thought to have suffered serious abdominal and leg injuries.
The three southbound lanes were then closed to allow the air ambulance to land. All other emergency services attended the scene.
Northbound traffic was initially held back but re-opened shortly before 8am.
Meanwhile, the entry ramp at junction 15 is closed as there is no access to the motorway, and this has led to queuing back into Northampton.

Gender & Women's Empowerment
UNDP and Gender in Zambia
The UNDP global Gender Equality Strategy (2008-2013) is grounded in the premise that the development of equality between men and women, or gender equality is absolutely indivisible from UNDP human development goal of real improvements in people's lives and the choices and opportunities open to them. Guided by the Gender Equality Strategy, UNDP in Zambia contributes to the attainment of the country's vision of integrating gender equity and equality in the socio-economic development process by 2030.
Our Goals
The UN Joint Programme on GBV (2012-2016) in Zambia is supported by the United Nations System. The goal of the Joint programme is to contribute to the reduction of GBV in Zambia. The overall objective of the programme is to establish an integrated and multi-sectoral mechanism for the implementation of the Anti GBV Act, which was enacted in 2011. This will be attained through the following interrelated specific objectives:more
Supporting Key Actors for Gender Equity
We are advocating for gender equity and equality as well as empowerment of women and girls. We support the Ministry of Gender and Child Development, as the key government institution for creating an enabling environment for promotion of gender equality and women's rights and Civil Society Organizations, which advocate for gender equality and rights of women.more
Our Stories
Projects and Initiatives
The Joint UN Programme aims to support the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to implement the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), with particular focus on the recommendations on violence against women that are contained in the July 2011 CEDAW concluding observations and the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, its causes and consequences, and to support institutional transformation to facilitate the implementation of the Anti- Gender Based Violence Act 2011 of Zambiamore
The Programme for the Promotion and Protection of Women and Children's rights in Zambia has a long-term goal of reducing Gender imbalances in political, social and economic spheres in the Country. This expected to be achieved through gender responsive policies, legal and institutional frameworks in the MGCD, Priority Line Ministries and key non-state actor organisationmore

Anyhoo- I am having the grade level team leaders from my school over tomorrow afternoon for our kick off meeting. I hosted all our meetings last year, and I love it. We hang out on the patio and I get to try out all kinds of new appetizer recipes on them. It's a win-win. They get a comfy place to meet away from school, and I get to cook new stuff AND get immediate feedback.
Here's the link to the recipe. I have tried other versions of this, but seriously, this one is drop dead simple. You can put it together and throw it in a crock pot, or you can do what I did- bake it in a casserole dish. I put it together this afternoon, and I'll put it in the oven right before the meeting starts. I think it will be best when served steaming hot! I will provide carrot sticks and tortilla chips for dipping. Here's a parting close up of the deliciousness!

North Jersey Notes: The Inversion Circus, Incognito Theory, Royal Skulls, and More
—by Tim Louie, April 19, 2017
THE INVERSION CIRCUS—Red Bank, NJ
I came across a cool new band out of Red Bank, NJ, who was actually nominated for Top New Artist at last year's Asbury Music Awards. The name of the band is The Inversion Circus, and I learned about them because I was invited to a CD release party event at The Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ on Saturday, May 13, through Facebook. The invite piqued my interest about the band, and my interest was raised even more after I gave The Inversion Circus a listen on their website, InversionCircus.com. I got to hear the songs "Baraboo," "Tuffy's Revenge" and "Ferrous Wheel" and well, they were instrumental, but these songs jammed! The musicianship in this band is second to none. I was hooked!
According to their bio, The Inversion Circus was formed by guitarist Chris Macock and bassist Chris Davison back in 2014 based on an idea that they would write music that they actually enjoy playing, as well as being challenged musically. With this goal in mind, Chris and Chris knew that drummer Ronnie Mormino was the natural choice to lay down their grooves. The Inversion Circus was born! Musically for this trio, there were no boundaries. The boys feel that if they can imagine it, they will do it, hence validating their name Inversion Circus as it truly is a circus of music!
The Inversion Circus will be releasing their debut full-length CD, InTents (Fire at the Big Top) on May 14. To celebrate the CD's release, The Inversion Circus will be throwing a CD release party at The Brighton Bar on Saturday, May 13, with Metal Life Crisis, Steve Bello, and The Way Out. You need to check these guys out or get to this CD release party. For more on The Inversion Circus or to give them a listen, visit InversionCircus.com.

If you care about Science (capital initial intentional) do not buy Apocalypse by Dean Crawford.
People who don't understand science shouldn't write about it. After reading 146 of the 553 pages of the novel, I gave up.
The first problem I encountered was on page 86. Crawford writes: "a young Air Force ensign". He should have known that "ensign" is a rank exclusively used in the Navy. OK. It has nothing to do with science, but it was annoying nonetheless.
It is when Crawford starts writing about science that he really gets onto my nerves. On page 95, he writes:
If an object starts moving at high velocity, then time begins to run more slowly compared to another object that remains stationary. The discrepancy was predicted by Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity.
The first sentence, although not entirely rigorous (and not written in the best English) is acceptable in a novel. But "General Relativity" is wrong, as it is "Special Relativity" that explains time dilation when objects move fast.
Then, on page 96, Crawford claims:
Mercury orbits very close to the sun and always seemed to appear slightly out of place. It turned out that the sun's mass curved the light reflected from Mercury's surface when seen from the earth, making it appear in a different place to where it actually was.
Wrong. Even ignoring the mixed-up tenses, Crawford's statement is incorrect. The anomaly in Mercury's orbit that Newtonian Physics failed to correctly predict is the perihelion precession (i.e., how fast the point of the orbit closest to the sun moves). This is a real effect, not something that is explainable away with curved light paths.
One page later, on page 97, Crawford makes another blunder. After explaining that the presence of a large gravitational field has a dilation effect on time similar to that caused by high speeds, he goes on saying:
Sergey Avdeyev [...] orbited the earth almost twelve thousand times over 750 days whilst aboard the Mir space station. At such velocity, and farther from the mass of the earth than those of us on the ground, the time dilation he experienced sent him 0.02 seconds into the future, because time passed slower for him than for the rest of us.
Wait a minute! If the cosmonaut was subjected to a lower gravitational force, the resulting effect was to reduce the time dilation caused by the earth, not to increase it. Therefore, "despite being farther" would have been correct, not "and farther".
Incidentally, the author also shows his poor command of English by inserting a comma between "velocity" and "and farther".
Crawford proves beyond any doubt that he has not understood Relativity when, on page 113, one of the characters explains what a scientist had thought:
his idea was to place some kind of camera aboard a spaceship and send it into orbit around the sun for long periods of time at a very hight velocity. [...] The ship would then return to earth [...] the high velocities and close presence of the sun's immense mass would allow the cameras [wasn't it singular at the beginning of the paragraph?] to peek into earth's future, just by a few minutes.
Baloney! If the ship's time slows down, it means that it will fall behind earth-based clocks. That's all.
What made me stop reading the novel was the explanation given by Crawford of a machine capable of filming the future (chapter 22). According to Crawford, you can peek into the future if you hold a camera very close to a black hole and point it towards a TV set located further away from the black hole. The camera will film future news shown on the TV set.
This is complete nonsense.
There are also other misconceptions, like the following one, expressed on page 156:
jets of steam hissed and enveloped the entire device in thick water vapor [...] A precautionary measure, to wash away any particles irradiated by the immense energy within the chamber.
"Irradiated by the energy"? Give me a break! And again, a misplaced comma (after "measure").
In case you are wondering about the fact that at the beginning of this article I claimed to have read 146 pages while the last quotation refers to page 156, it is because I skipped chapter 21 in order to read the description of the "time machine".
Crawford appended to the novel an Author's Note where he claims: "all of the science within my novels is real, [his italics] but some of it is stretched to embrace the extreme events that are part and parcel of thriller fiction". Clearly, he hasn't simply stretched the science. He has broken it in a bad way. In the same Author's Note, Crawford also states:
If one were able to stand alongside the event horizon of a sufficiently massive black hole, then time would indeed be dilated in the manner described.
He really hasn't understood Relativity. And, what's worse, his book got published by Simon & Schuster and sold well, otherwise it would have not been printed in Australia. How many thousands of people read it and were misled by Crawford's bad science?
It makes me angry that ignorance, once more, has prevailed.
In any case, Crawford's prose is also not satisfying. His writing is flat and banal with the pretence of being interesting or educational. He writes sentences like "The warbled tones of a despatch officer replied to his question across the radio waves." (page 1). "Across the radio waves"? Please!

Director's Seminar on Jan. 29: Frances Wang
The first Director's Seminar of the semester on Jan. 29 will feature Ranxio (Frances) Wang, psychology professor and part-time faculty member of the Human Perception and Performance Group. The presentation will start at noon in Beckman room 1005, and lunch will be provided.
Getting Lost during Navigation: The Unconscious Processes
Navigation is the cognitive activity shown by most animals to remember and go to a specific location. It is common belief that there are two main schemes to accomplish navigation. The "lower" species such as insects use a primitive method called path integration, while the "higher" animals develop an advanced, fundamentally different system called cognitive map.
However, an alternative view is that the cognitive map evolved directly from the path integration system and is basically the same thing. In this talk I will discuss how path integration works, how a collection of them can produce a mental map, the properties of such a navigation system that lead to people easily getting lost in certain environments, and how to overcome those difficulties.
Frances Wang received her Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1999 in computational cognitive sciences and is currently a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. Dr. Wang's research focuses on various aspects of visual and spatial cognition, including navigation and spatial memory, object and scene recognition, human comprehension of four-dimensional space, and visual threshold. She has published more than 60 journal articles and book chapters, and was a keynote speaker at Spatial Cognition 2014 in Bremen, Germany. Dr. Wang received the A. O. Beckman Research Award in 2000 and 2010 and was appointed as an associate of the Center for Advanced Study in 2012.

There's an upside to the economy getting trashed: landfills around the state are receiving considerably less garbage.
Disposal rates at the Miramar Landfill in San Diego are way down and San Francisco is throwing less into landfills than it has in three decades.
At one of the nation's largest landfills in Puente Hills, about 17 miles east of Los Angeles, operators have seen a 30 percent drop in trash being delivered from neighboring municipalities.
As the recession continues, people are buying fewer items, eating out less and construction waste has plummeted with the slowing housing market.
Part of the reduction in trash at landfills can be attributed to a state law calling for 50 percent of trash to be diverted from dumps, but officials says the recent decreases are largely the result of less consumption.

This time of year, families throughout the Chicago area schedule their weekends around the Bears. Nearly half the city's televisions tune in to Bears games when they play, and an empty seat is rarely seen at Soldier Field.
Nicole Larvick, a 30-year-old mother in Chicago, said "it would take a lot" for her family to stop watching football. But this week, with the N.F.L. struggling to deal with unseemly accusations of domestic violence and child abuse by some of its biggest stars, Ms. Larvick has a new perspective.
"Before this week I held the N.F.L. in a different view," Ms. Larvick said as she waited for her children outside an elementary school on Chicago's North Side. "It seemed different — like families and communities were important to them. But I know it's just a business now."
Like Ms. Larvick, women around the country expressed disillusionment this week as the N.F.L. desperately tried to stanch the public criticism around several controversial cases: Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his fiancée in the face, a police report describing abuse of a 4-year-old by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, and the league's prediction in court documents that nearly a third of its players would end up with severe brain damage.
The league announced Wednesday that Peterson and the Carolina Panthers' Greg Hardy, who is appealing a guilty verdict for assaulting and threatening his ex-girlfriend, were barred from all team activities until their cases were resolved. But by day's end, another N.F.L. player had been arrested in a domestic-violence case: Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer.
Critics of the league's handling of these issues include fans of all types, as well as politicians and some of the N.F.L.'s biggest corporate sponsors. But the anger voiced by women — including those who count themselves as fans — is particularly troubling for the N.F.L., which has invested heavily in trying to overcome its reputation as a domain for alpha males and find new consumers for its merchandise.
"I think the league is tone deaf to a lot of cultural things," said Elise Johnson, 50, a social worker from Manhattan Beach, Calif. She added: "Society has evolved. I don't think the N.F.L. has evolved."
Executives at the N.F.L. claim that a significant portion of their millions of fans are women. This helps them bolster their assertion that football is America's pre-eminent sport while also underscoring the immense possibilities for adding to the $10 billion in revenue the league generates each year.
"The matriarch of the family predetermines an awful lot that goes on, from what sport you play to what media you watch to what products get bought," Mark Waller, the N.F.L.'s chief marketing officer, said in explaining why women were important to the league. "The role of the female in the household is huge. On the emotional side, the role that the female builds that a family can gather around is fundamental. That sort of communal aspect, which is such a part of the game in America."
Five years ago, around the time Commissioner Roger Goodell said he wanted to turn the league into a $25 billion business by 2027, the N.F.L. set out to court women, "listening to their needs much more aggressively and really trying to get under the skin of what needs they have and what can we do better," Mr. Waller said.
The most visible manifestation of that effort appears annually in October, when the league covers much of the game in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Another example of the N.F.L.'s outreach to women was on display Tuesday night at a chic Manhattan event space, where the league held a fashion show to roll out its latest collections, complete with actresses and Victoria's Secret models.
"This week has certainly been tough for us, but we know we have to do better," Leo Kane, senior vice president for consumer products at the N.F.L., said to start the event. He then moved on to thank the designers and licensees.
"The league could have a real problem on their hands," said Ira Mayer, who writes the Licensing Letter, which tracks sports licensing. According to his calculations, the league generated about $30 million in royalties from the sale of women's apparel last year. "They already have a public relations problem and a sponsor problem, and that can translate to the licensing market, too," he said.
Goodell has scrambled to mitigate the damage to the league's reputation in the weeks after he initially suspended Rice for only two games. After consulting advocates for victims of domestic abuse, he apologized a month later because he "didn't get it right" and announced stiffer penalties for players and employees found to have committed domestic abuse. But the uproar has only intensified this week.
The Radisson Hotel chain suspended its endorsement deal with the Vikings. Anheuser-Busch, one of the league's most prominent sponsors, said Tuesday that it had told the league it was concerned with the N.F.L.'s handling of the scandals.
A CoverGirl ad campaign featuring N.F.L. team colors became an Internet lightning rod when someone altered an image to put a black eye on the model for the Ravens, drawing greater attention to the company's relationship with the league and catalyzing public pressure for CoverGirl to sever ties.
"As the mother of two school-age children, I'm dismayed that a major sports organization like the N.F.L. does not take allegations of abuse serious," said Katherine Johnson, 41, a football fan in Sarasota, Fla. "Why do sponsors serve as the voice of reason and morality in the N.F.L.? Why can't we demand and expect better as fans, as women, and as a society from a multibillion-dollar sports business?"
Amid the outcry, Goodell appointed four women to help shape the league's policies on domestic abuse and hired Cynthia Hogan as the N.F.L.'s chief lobbyist in Washington. She has worked in the Obama administration and helped Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. shape the Violence Against Women Act when he was in the Senate.
Indra Nooyi, the PepsiCo chairman and chief executive, said: "I urge them to seize this moment. How they handle these cases going forward can help shape how we as a nation, as a society and as individuals treat domestic violence and child abuse."
Leigh Ann Tuohy, the mother who was portrayed in the football film "The Blind Side," said in a telephone interview Wednesday that the N.F.L. should have included women in the decision-making process from the beginning, not after the scandal erupted. "We need to be included," she said. "I guarantee there wasn't a woman involved in any of these decisions."
Ms. Tuohy said she knew Rice and Peterson, as well as Hardy, who grew up in Tennessee, where she lives. She said their transgressions were out of character. "Good people do bad things," she said, adding that she did not think female fans would abandon the N.F.L. because of this issue.
Other women said they, too, would continue watching. Stephanie Cobb, a 51-year old from Long Beach, Calif., said she and her family were big sports fans, and her youngest son, Jack, 14, roots for Adrian Peterson. "It's a shame, and it's sad," she said. "But I don't think it's a problem for the N.F.L. as a whole. It's all about personal responsibility."
For many N.F.L. supporters, football fandom is local. Despite everything that has happened over the past week, Ms. Larvick, the Bears fan in Chicago, said it would take something else to compel her family to stop watching.
"Something would have to happen with the Bears," she said. "If Jay Cutler did what Ray Rice did, I would stop watching."

Taken from Remembering Carobell Smiles and Tears
by Elizabeth Bell Midgett, Co-Founder (with Virginia Franks)
Carobell, Inc., 1988, 1996
In the early 1960s Virginia Franks and I met at a School of Missions, sponsored by the Women's Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church. We taught study courses at each other's churches and visited in each other's homes; we were sisters in Christ and she became "Aunt Ginny" to my kids. Years later, when we founded a home for profoundly handicapped children, we decided to name it after our mothers: Caro -- for Carolina Franks and Bell -- for Patricia Bell. Virginia was already "Aunt Ginny" to my children; now "I" needed a Carobell family name. Because our little family was expanding, we felt big families should have a "Big Mama" -- and that was me!
In 1966 Virginia was the Executive Secretary of the Navy Relief Society at Camp Lejeune. While she was in Jacksonville, I was living on Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach with my four children. Around the corner lived Virginia's mother, Caroline. I watched over Mama Franks during the week until Virginia returned home on the weekends. Then in 1967 I was offered a position as Supervisor of the Kindergartens aboard the base, and we all moved to Jacksonville. I bought a house in Sherwood Forest, and Virginia and her mother rented a home off of the old Gum Branch Road. On Thanksgiving morning that year Mama Franks died of heart failure. My four kids voted to have Aunt Ginny come live with us if she brought her cat, her piano, and her color TV. That's how we all ended up on Marion Court!
Virginia (in her work) was aware that babies were born at the Naval Hospital with multiple problems. Their parents were unable to care for them, and placements for total care were few and far between. At the same time, my Kindergarten teachers informed me of the several children who seemed to be having developmental difficulties in Kindergarten. There was one special little girl, whose parents had been advised to have her repeat Kindergarten. They were told she was behind, and since she was the youngest of four children, she would "catch up eventually." After observations and teacher reports, we advised the parents to have the child tested. How traumatic it was for them to learn their little girl was "retarded." They were the first of many parents who had to begin the journey to seek "special education" for their child.
In 1969 the NC legislature passed a law stating that all North Carolina children were eligible for a free public Kindergarten education. My job as Supervisor of the Camp Lejeune Kindergartens was to end on June 30, 1969. In deciding my future goals, I kept thinking about special Kindergarten children and the special babies born at Lejeune. Virginia and I talked about it, and we decided to visit some of the state and private facilities that cared for severely developmentally delayed children. We started in the Western part of the state. We saw rooms filled with row after row of crib babies with hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and other problems. We saw a private home with rooms crowded with children and only one or two persons to care for 15 children. In Winston-Salem, I remember visiting [a home] where beds for older children were pushed so close together, you could not walk between them to attend a child. I remember walking in the dining room and suddenly being surrounded by children with Down Syndrome touching and pulling at me saying "Mama, Mama." Out last visit was to another center, one of the four oldest state institutions for the mentally retarded. Because it was a training school, children under six years of age were not admitted. The things I remember most were the awful smell of urine and feces, stark white rooms with metal cribs, children and adults dressed in dingy white T-shirts and diapers, and even a naked woman with flailing arms and legs tied in a chair. These sights and smells will never be forgotten. We had a loving home and $500 -- we certainly could offer something better! We formed a Board of Directors who dreamed with us the Carobell dream. We met with our attorney and people from the NC Departmen of Mental Health. We talked with my four children and they were ready to share our home with some very special babies.
Wendy's Story: How Carobell Began
And so it was on July 1, 1969 Carobell opened its doors. Our first baby was Wendy; she quickly became the Queen. Our first little boy was Woody, and of course he was the King. By October we had six babies living with us. We had hired two devoted Aides who, along with the rest of the family helped care for them. I'll always remember that first Christmas -- we dressed our children in bright Christmasy clothes and welcomed their families who came to share the day with us. Our helpers had the day off, so each of us -- Aunt Ginny, Big Mama, Ron, Steve, Fred and Pattie -- had one of the six Carobell children to care for that day.
By the spring of 1970 we needed a full time Administrator/Social Worker; Aunt Ginny left her position at Navy Relief and came to Carobell. By 1973 one of our little boys celebrated his sixth birthday. No state institution for him! He was part of our Carobell family, and we were not ready to give him up. We opened the Children's Home on Huerth Street. A year later this second home (and our office) was relocated to the property on the corner of Warn Street and Lejeune Boulevard.
We were fortunate that Charles Martin, M.D., became "Doc" to our children. He taught us everything we needed to know. In the early days there were no nurses or teachers, there was just "us" loving and encouraging our special ones, trying to treat them just as we would any member of our family. Sometimes when one of our kids would have a long seizure in the middle of the night, we would call "Doc" and he would come. We had many a philosophical discussion about our Carobell dream in the wee hours of the morning.
We struggled financially, but we would not give up our dream. In order to raise funds to support Carobell, we put baby food jars in stores around Jacksonville, asking for donations. We had Candy Striper volunteers who would come and fold dozens of diapers, and help us address our mailings. Through the years the right people with the right stuff have come to us at the right time. There are many people with many different skills who now work at Carobell to help our children learn and grow. They come today to a well-established residential and school program. In 1969, it was different -- it was just one family who wanted to show some special children that they could be loved in a place called HOME.

A population of pronghorn on White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), in south-central New Mexico, has declined since 1980. While this decreasing trend has coincided with intermittent periods of severe drought, competition with the non-native South African gemsbok is presumed as a contributor to the overall decline of the population. Thus the goal of this study was to relate seasonal changes in forage quality throughout pronghorn habitat on WSMR and relate these seasonal changes to diet composition and nutrition and evaluate dietary overlap between pronghorn and gemsbok. Dietary quality (fecal nitrogen, FN and fecal 2,6-diamonphelic acid, FDAPA) reflected seasonal differences in available forage as well as severe drought. Average FN increased in pronghorn from 1.4% in the cool-dry season (2010) to 2.1% in the warm-dry (2010) season. In contrast, FN decreased in pronghorn from 2.1% in the warm-dry (2010) to 1.4% in the drought of the warm-dry season (2011). Diet composition revealed pronghorn consumed 75 species with forbs representing the major component in the diet (42-68%) in contrast to grasses (2-21%). Although gemsbok and pronghorn share the same habitat (were often seen grazing together), an analysis of dietary overlap between the two species revealed low (17%) to moderate (37%) overlap and suggests the gemsbok are not negatively influencing forage selection of pronghorn on WSMR. Gemsbok dietary quality did not differ between warm-dry (2010) and the drought of the warm-dry season of 2011, revealing resiliency in the gemsbok compared to the pronghorn during abnormally low precipitation periods.

Twin Brooks Water Facility Plan/Water System Improvements
Twin Brooks, SD
Twin Brook's existing water operator wanted to retire and it was difficult to find a new licensed operator for this type of part-time work. In addition, Twin Brook's existing wells were deteriorating. A Facility Plan was completed with the assistance of a Small Community Planning Grant and a funding from East Dakota Water Development District. The Facility Plan recommended connection to the nearby Grant Roberts Rural Water System, which offered better water quality and was willing to take over maintenance of the City's water distribution system. The City's wells were abandoned and 2,245 feet of 6-inch water main was installed to connect the community to the rural water system. The project also included a pressure reducing/metering building with chemical feed as well as meter pits at each of the 39 connections within the community. Twin Brooks was able to receive $349,400 in grant funding for the project to assist with the cost of Facility Plan preparation, engineering design, construction and construction observation, minimizing the financial burden on the residents in this small, rural community.View Project
LaBolt Wastewater System Facility Plan
LaBolt, SD
The Town of Labolt sought to make improvements to their wastewater collection and treatment system. The system was analyzed for deficiencies and recommendations were made to maintain the system capabilities by lowering cleanout caps in the streets, protect the stabilization ponds against further erosion, and restore control structures at the stabilization pond site. The WWTF was physically deteriorating from years of erosion to unprotected banks. The structures were aging including a seized control valve on the outfall line and heaving of concrete level indicators and control piping. This combination of deficiencies led to an unreliable operation and treatment. A facility plan was necessary to analyze the wastewater collection and treatment system. The Town of LaBolt is a relatively small community of less than 60 residents with limited resources. Banner worked with LaBolt and their community planning and economic development association, 1st District Association of Local Governments, and East Dakota Water Development District to develop a funding package that allowed Labolt the opportunity to make the necessary improvements.View Project

Retro Release Day: The Black Hole on DVD (1999 & 2004)
Today's Retro Release Day title here at The Bits is none other than Disney's The Black Hole (1979), directed by Gary Nelson and released by Anchor Bay Entertainment on DVD back on March 30, 1999.
The film stars Maximilian Schell, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, Anthony Perkins, and Ernest Borgnine, and features a terrific score by composer John Barry.
The single-disc release was a much-dreaded (and double-sided) DVD-10 release, a disc configuration known as a "flipper" to DVD veterans.
The reason for this was that the release included the film in both non-anamorphic (letterboxed) widescreen on one side, and full frame on the other.
Both sides of the disc also includes the film's theatrical trailer and a gallery of images. Each version of the film also included Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. [Read on here...]

About Holy Yoga

What is Holy Yoga?
Holy Yoga is an experiential worship created to deepen people's connection to Christ. Our sole purpose is to facilitate a Christ honoring experience that offers an opportunity to believers and non-believers alike to authentically connect to God through His Word, worship, and wellness. Holy Yoga exists to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth through the modality of yoga.
We believe there is only one God, who exists for all eternity in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Revelation 1:8)
We believe that God has revealed Himself to us both through His creation and His Word. (Romans 1:20, Hebrews 1:3)
We believe God continues to reveal Himself to His people through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:9, John 16:13-14, 1 Corinthians 2:12-14, 2 Corinthians 6:16)
We believe that there is only one way to God, through His Son, Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 43:10-13, John 14:6)
We believe that God made forgiveness and redemption available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. (1Timothy 2:3-4, John 3:16-18, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5)
We believe the Bible is absolute truth. It is the divinely authored and authoritative Word of God. It is complete in its current canonical form. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Luke 24:27)
We believe that those who are His will be made known by their love for God and for all people. (Mark 12:30, John 13:34-35)
We believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God (John 3:16). He was present with God at the beginning of time and through Him all things were made (John 1:1, Colossians 1:17). In the incarnation, He was fully God and fully man (Colossians 2:9). Through His perfect life and sacrifice on the cross, we may receive forgiveness of our sins and justification before God (1 John 2:2, Romans 3:23-26, 2 Corinthians 5:21). He is the fullness of truth and the only way to God (John 14:6). Jesus is the head of the body of believers, known as the church (Colossians 1:18). He pursues us with intention (Luke 19:10). He is both our role model (1 John 2:6, 1 John 3:16, John 15:12) and worthy of our worship and adoration (Revelation 5:12).
We know that yoga is a spiritual discipline much like fasting, meditation, and prayer that cannot be owned by one specific religion. While yoga predates Hinduism, Hindus were the first to give yoga a written structure. Yoga postures were originally named in Sanskrit. Holy Yoga teaches instructors to teach in their native tongue to avoid any confusion.
Holy Yoga embraces the essential elements of yoga: breath work, meditation and physical postures.
In all of these elements, Christ is the focus of our intention and worship.

This is the million dollar question isn't it! Most young people who only started earning salaries after school do not have the luxury of trial and error when it comes to this. Why? Well because by the time you add the costs of A domain name + VPS + Web Design/Theme + Plugins and marketing you are looking at a number that probably engulfs your entire salary and then some.
Off the bat most people want to just start a blog that can start making good money in no time… But it's really not that simple. I am however going to offer some insight into picking out a profitable niche today!
If you checked around online you might find that many "experts" will tell you niche sites around — Insurance — Loans — Mortgage — are generally the highest earning! In-fact, if you take a look at the little info-graphic below made by WordStream you would see that these are the top 3 of the top 20… also according to WordStream…
What this info-graphic will not tell you however is that it is better to start a website in a niche you love and actually care about than it is to start an insurance blog today then struggle to create content or drive traffic 2-3 months down the line.
Case in point, If I was a greedy idiot I would have started a blog on insurance already as opposed to say maybe starting a job listing board like Joblanda.com 8 months ago. If I had started an insurance blog I would have had to pay a lot of money to create content because well… I don't know the first thing about Insurance blogging and I honestly couldn't be bothered about such things. Like I live in Nigeria and I know for a fact that the only insurance that works here is the blood of Jesus so why bother? (I kid, I kid!!!)
I would have missed an opportunity to help people get jobs (which is something I really wanted to do) and I would have also missed the opportunity to learn that job boards have the potential to make the most money in 3rd world countries with serious unemployment issues! It's the same way people will tell you celebrity news earns a lot of money but then you will start a celebrity news site today and start running at a loss. You will get CPC as low as 0.04 from celebrity news sites sometimes — it's almost ridiculous!
The real lesson here is that what works for Mr. Smith may not work for Mr. Victor and that's OK! Don't say because Linda Ikeji bought a house in Banana Island — Peddling gossip is now the way to go for you as well. You will be really disappointed when you realize her money didn't come from ad-sense and you have no way or resources to acquire or command the kind of fees she does for a single ad space… especially from the larger corporations and businesses.
Every niche can be profitable… Depending on how much you love it… Except music, music can hardly ever be profitable… The CPC is too low, please don't start a music blog if you do not live in the States, Canada or Australia… Don't do it! Or do it, it's entirely your business!
Stop by the groups and forums if you have any questions or just drop a comment below. I hope this post has been helpful — if not I hope it hasn't bored you to death… I'm so sorry.

I'm glad that school is going so well and you've finally got some breathing room! Do you ever get nervous about what life will be like as a busy lawyer?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, I definitely worry about it! Although I had a really good 10-week taste of it this summer, so at least I know pretty much exactly what I'm getting into. I think we're going to do some things like hire a cleaning lady to make it a little easier. We'll see!Delete

For me, Schopenhauer, Bentham, Hume and Singer, hands down, all because of their clear consistent views on ethics, and their rational and / or empiricism.
There are of course others I like very much (Nitchsze stands out) , but the ones above are my favorites.
I really don't like Descartes. He's clearly more intelligent than I am, this is obvious from his pensées, but I can't see how he could…

HAPI COIN comes from one of the most popular coin machines in arcade center and family entertainment center.
Players have to drop coins into the slots to create chains of coin, and then collecting the chains will generate rewards. A longer chain will return a larger bonus rewards. And stacking coins in the same slot will lose all the coins in slots. Simply the game is just spending coins to earn more coins, but the game gives player the feeling of playing a gamble game, as players have to struggle between "Collecting Chain" and "Making a longer Chain", while the latter option create a much larger rewards, but with a higher risks.

Barcelona's flagship restaurant and bar in SoNo has been around for 17 years and is still enormously popular with everyone from trendy 20-somethings to the moms-night-out crowd. Anchored on the corner of Ann Street and North Main Street, the bar/restaurant's huge windows give passersby a chance to gawp at the food and fun in the 140-seat joint, which started out as a tapas bar with room for just 30 customers. In addition to SoNo, the Barcelona group now has restaurants in four other Fairfield County locations and West Hartford. In October, Barcelona opened its seventh outpost in Atlanta, Georgia (where two of the top bosses have connections) and later this year it will offer its tantalizing menu in Boston. As for the goings-on closer to home, the Fairfield restaurant, located in the Hi Ho Motel, reopened in May following a renovation and the Stamford and Greenwich restaurants have begun serving Sunday brunches.

Regardless of how quickly you like to work, you must read each question very carefully. Don't read the first few words of the question and presume that the rest follows a familiar pattern. This habit is dangerous.
Skip any question that stumps you and come back to it later. This strategy helps you not waste valuable time.
Many websites and guidebooks offer practice exams. These can be very helpful in your preparations.
For better or worse, SAT and ACT scores have a bearing on you and your college plans. It's not unusual to feel stressed or, perhaps, overwhelmed by the challenges of applying to college; keeping up your grades; and maintaining some sort of balance in life between work and play. Millions of students before you have met these challenges successfully. You, too, can succeed, especially if you don't allow the experience to get you down. Grit your teeth if you must; be cheerful if you can. And good luck!

COLCHESTER, Vt. – The Saint Anselm College softball team recorded its 10th-straight victory and tied the school record with its 33rd win of the season by blanking Saint Michael's College, 6-0, on Tuesday afternoon at Doc Jacobs Field.
Freshman Kat Stackrow drove in a career-high three runs with a pair of hits and junior Jordan O'Connor reached base all four times, going 3-for-3 with a walk, two runs, one RBI and a stolen base for Saint Anselm (33-9-1, 20-3-1 NE10). The victory over Saint Michael's (9-22, 6-15 NE10) sealed a regular-season sweep of the series for the Hawks, whose 33 victories tied the 1997 team for the most in a season in program history.
Saint Anselm's 10-game winning streak is the program's longest since the same 1997 team closed the season with 10 consecutive victories from Apr. 27 – May 11. That team also won 10 games in a row from Apr. 8 – 13, 1997. The Hawks, who were ranked No. 2 in the East Region in last week's first set of NCAA Regional Rankings and received a pair of votes in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Top 25, have outscored their opponents, 54-16, over the 10-game winning streak.
O'Connor's three-hit performance was her second of the season and was her fourth multi-hit game in the last five, while Stackrow's three RBI gave her five in the last two days after entering the week with four for the season. Reigning NE10 Pitcher of the Week Courtney Fisher shut out the Purple Knights for the second time in less than a week, allowing just four hits and a walk to win her fifth-straight decision.
Saint Anselm had at least one runner on base in each of the first three innings before getting to Danielle Brown in the fourth. With one out, Lauren Washburn was hit by a pitch before O'Connor walked and stole second, leaving runners at second and third. With Washburn and O'Connor still in scoring position with two outs, Stackrow drove them both in with a single to center to open the scoring.
The Hawks added two more in the fifth on a pair of extra-base hits. Erin Thompson hit a one-out double to left center and remained at second with two outs, when Shannon Colson tripled to center and scored on a throwing error on the play. Colson's triple was her sixth of the season - her six triples this spring are the most by a Hawk since Moira McCabe '10 had six in her senior season of 2010.
A Stackrow RBI double followed a pair of walks to start the inning, creating Saint Anselm's fifth run in the sixth and O'Connor plated Maddison Leite with a two-out double in the seventh to cap the scoring.
Fisher, who allowed just one runner to reach second base, retired the final seven batters of the game to finish off her third shutout of the season. The freshman has allowed just one earned run in her last 26.1 innings (0.27 ERA) spanning her last five appearances.
Brown went the distance in the circle for Saint Michael's but fell to 7-12 this season with the loss. Four Purple Knights had one hit apiece off Fisher, but all four hits were just singles.
Saint Anselm concludes the regular season with a three-game set at Stonehill, beginning with a single game on Friday, Apr. 27 at 3 p.m.

With this month's elections having doubled the number of states that permit recreational marijuana use (the grand total stands at eight, plus the District of Columbia), the choice of the new US Attorney General is important to those businesses that manufacture and sell "legal" marijuana and to the banks and credit unions that serve (and want to serve) those businesses. This week's news that President-Elect Trump has selected Senator Jeff Sessions as his nominee for that position has been cited by the "pot luck" crowd as a bad omen. The Denver Post's "Cannabist" column elaborates.
The Senator nominated to serve as the next U.S. attorney general is on record saying cannabis is "dangerous" and that "good people don't smoke marijuana."
President-elect Donald Trump's reported pick of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as the nation's top law enforcement officer should "scare the hell out of the marijuana industry," drug policy expert John Hudak told The Cannabist on Friday.
Sessions might have qualified his comment about "good people" by changing "don't smoke" to "no longer smoke," but the former tokers who bang out this blog won't hold that judgment against him. It is amusing that he doesn't seem to understand that smoking is only one method of getting a mile high. Many prefer feeding the munchies by chomping on "edibles."
I had expected for some time that Chris Christie would be first in line for the AG slot. However, recent convictions of his former aides in a blocking-a-bridge-too-far scandal, or, perhaps, Christie's always pleasing personality, might have alienated The Donald, who only allows one bloviating gas bag on the bus at any one time, that gas bag being himself. At any rate, while Christie was outspoken in threatening state-legal recreational marijuana businesses with the Fist of Doom, I don't think Sessions will be a cool breeze in comparison for our friends in the land where Mary Jane reigns.
Thus, relying on continued forbearance of the US Justice Department from enforcing federal drug laws seems to me to be even more dicey than it did before the election. A Jeff Sessions-piloted US Justice Department could sweep into Colorado in early February 2017 and indict not only the pot business owners, but the banks and bankers who bank them. Even closing the bank accounts and lines of credit now aren't technically going to save any bank (or, again, the bank's directors, officers, and employees) from being charged with past criminal behavior, because of those pesky statues of limitations. I can see a guy like Sessions picking on some businesses and banks or credit unions that serve them in Colorado (which, being first out of the gate, has become the poster child for state-legal, federal-illegal marijuana businesses and users) and crushing them like overripe grapes, just to send a message like "Hurts, don't it? Tell your friends!" I can also see him taking a more subtle approach, but one that would be just as painful in the long run. As a legalized marijuana opponent puts it, "[T]here are many things you can do with a letter and a stamp that would stop marijuana businesses from flourishing."
The linked article notes that the Cole Memorandum (and the FinCEN guidance that followed it), upon which marijuana-banking financial institutions are hanging their hats, are "non-binding guidelines" that "could quickly be rescinded." They could be, but the guidance itself states that it does not provide a defense to prosecution. Instead, it merely provides "guidance" as to what the then-current (2013-14) enforcement priorities of the US Justice Department were. Priorities change without notice. It also admits that the businesses and banks engaged in the business are violating a number of federal criminal laws, including money laundering.
The Cannabist also correctly observes that The Donald has "wavered" on the legalized marijuana issue and the states rights issues involved. On the campaign trail, he seemed in one breath to claim it was a "state-by-state" decision, but in the next breath to claim that we should first look at Colorado because it was having problems, then in the next breath to claim he was talking about medical marijuana. He never addressed specifically the conflict between federal and state criminal laws or the effect of the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution (a concept that might have caused his "do" to sprout wings and fly to Morocco). He also promoted the fact that he is a "law-and-order" kind of guy. We assume he was not addresseing his television viewing preferences. While drug enforcement does not seem to be a previously articulated policy priority for him, he apparently (depending on the day of the week and the current mood of Melania) feels strongly both ways. While he's focused during the early days of his administration on more important matters, like building The Wall With a Door, tearing up NAFTA, crushing the dreams of The Dreamers, and knocking back Stoli Kamikazes with Vlad, he's likely to leave issues of lesser importance, like persecuting state-legal, federal-illegal pot businesses and their banks, to his Attorney General. If Sessions is that A.G., then those dark clouds hanging over the summit of Pikes Peak could become more ominous.
Drug policy expert John Hudak of the Brookings Institution sums up my thoughts about the future nicely.
"I think there is a chance that, a year from now, the marijuana industry looks exactly like it does today," he said. "I think there's a pretty big chance that the marijuana industry looks very different and finds itself in the throes of battling an activist attorney general."
