When an earthquake hits a Korean village housing a run-down nuclear power plant, a man risks his life to save the country from imminent disaster.
Adam Cook
In recent years, South Korea has emerged as an equal (at least) to Hollywood's production of thrilling blockbuster cinema and Pandora is one of their most memorable recent box office hits. A disaster film with a conscience, director Park Jung-woo delivers terrific set-pieces and dazzling FX with a resonant message about nuclear power and the environmentally recklessness and ethical irresponsibility of the government that prioritizes power over people.

Montgomery County will celebrate the rehabilitation of an 84-year-old cabin in Kensington on Saturday. Kensington Cabin originally opened in October 1934 and served as a community hub, hosting meetings, plays, summer camps, birthday parties and classes until it was closed in 1991 due to failing infrastructure. It has remained closed for the past 27 years, but in 2011 was designated in the Montgomery County Master Plan for Historic Preservation.

Islam and Moslems in East Bengal
Islam is the largest religion of East Bengal (now Bangladesh), the Muslim population is approximately 148.6 million, which is the fourth largest Muslim population in the world (after Indonesia, Pakistan and the Republic of India), constituting 90.4% of the total population as of 2010. Religion has always been a strong part of identity, but this has varied at different times. A survey in late 2003 confirmed that religion is the first choice by a citizen for self-identification; atheism is extremely rare. The People's Republic of Bangladesh is a secular state, however the United Nations has recognised the country as mainly moderate Muslim democratic country.

This is our first piece of our new series #travelleroftheweek! Every monday we will interview travellers from around the world who inspire us through their travels and their personal stories. This week we got to know Lisanne and Jeffrey from Chapter Travel.
Thank you for taking the time out to answer our questions. Could you give us a short introduction about yourself.
Hi guys, we are Lisanne and Jeffrey from Chapter Travel . We are a Dutch couple, both 26 and obviously love travel. During our first date we actually already knew we would travel together and booked a citytrip before we were even officially a couple. We have just come back from a 1.5 year trip and are now based in Rotterdam. You can find us on Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook (@chaptertravel).
How did you meet?
We met via mutual friends on a festival! We were friends at first and started dating about a year later.
Why did you start with Chapter Travel and how did you come up with the name?
Lisanne: I have always loved writing and six months before our trip I just figured it made sense to start a blog. Before that time, I never thought blogging would be something I liked. Because I cared way too much what other people thought of me and blogging is really putting yourself out there! Now I no longer care, and I figured it made sense to start a travel website which is both informative and personal.
My intention was not to just share our stories with friends and family to be honest. Mostly, I wanted something to show for once I got back home. I knew we could be away for a year or even two years, and it would be such a huge gap with work experience. Since I just finished my Master study before I left, I would have almost no experience in my field (which is communication). Plus, I love learning new skills and starting Chapter Travel has taught me so many skills!
I just came up with the name when I was brainstorming. It was a combination of adding a bit of my love for reading and writing, and starting a new chapter in our lives that involved travel.
What is your advice for someone wanting to start a similar blog to yours?
My biggest advice is to make sure that writing is something you love to do. Blogging is so much more work than most people think. Other than that, all the information nowadays is online and you can find lots of guides on how to start a blog! Take the time and do your research. And have patience.
What are the top 3 locations you want to visit?
That is a hard one! We really wanted to visit Scotland and we just did! On the top of my head these are our top 3 locations we would love to visit:
- Iceland 2. Philippines 3. Peru
Could you describe the moment you have been bitten by the travel bug?
For both of us it has always been there! We loved travel before we met each other. For instance, Jeffrey did a cool interrail with friends in Europe and I travelled through Southeast Asia for three months with a friend. Both our parents love travel too, it must run in the family.
What is the worst place you've travelled?
That's a though one! We actually can't think of a place we didn't like.
What has been your favourite and least favourite thing about living on the road?
Our favorite part: The freedom! That you can do whatever the hell you want.
Our least favorite part: Packing, packing and packing. We get really tired of packing our stuff every other day. That is why we love being slow travelers, so we can kind of get a home base in a location and that we don't have to move all the time!
What is one of the funniest things that happened on your travels?
Lots of funny things happened! One from the top of my head was when we were in Japan, Osaka and we were walking around Dotonbori, which is one of the busiest streets. Suddenly there was this big show with kawaii girls in costumes performing cute songs and their biggest fans were standing and screaming in front of them. The funny part is that their fans are grown up men! We had already read about this phenomenon in Japan and it was quite amazing to see. Such a culture difference!
Do you have a favorite place in this world?
We both are big fans of Nepal, mostly because of the amazing landscape. We definitely want to go back and explore more.
Would you ever settle down? If so, which country?
Eventually we will settle down, but our goal is to be able to travel whenever we feel like it. So, a home base is ideal to keep our stuff, but if we want to leave for three months we would love to be able to do that. We think we will settle down in our amazing hometown Rotterdam or definitely somewhere in Europe to be close to our friends and family.
Don't forget to submit your story for a chance to be our #Travelleroftheweek and Comment below if you have more questions for Lisanne & Jeffrey.

Moena, Val di Fassa and the Dolomites:
a truly unique Scene
Moena: welcome to the Fairy of the Dolomites
Moena - located at the entrance of Val di Fassa coming from Val di Fiemme - is the perfect destination for all mountain lovers, adults as well as children, who are looking for a stay in the pursuit of nature, sport, fun, relaxation and speciality food and wine: a fantastic mix to make your holiday special!
Moena appears from the heart of the Dolomites, surrounded by breath-taking panoramas: to the north, the Sella group with the Sassolungo and the Sassopiatto; to the east, the Monzoni and the San Pellegrino; to the south the Sas da Mezdì; to the west/north-west the tip of the Latemar and the sharp spires of the Cantinaccio.
Moena's ski area - Ski Area Alpe Luisa e Passo San Pellegrino - forms part of Dolomiti Superski, the biggest skiing circuit in the world, which will stun you with its modern ski lifts and its perfectly snow-covered slopes.
For children, there is Fiabilandia: a fantastic theme park - open in the summer and the winter - with huge bouncy castles, see-saws, slides and playhouses in the Prà di Sorte area.
Moena is a perfect starting point for beautiful hikes within reach of everyone and for a variety of routes that can be explored by mountain bike or road bike, starting with the Dolomites cycle path which crosses the Fassa and Fiemme valleys, running 48km in length.
In Moena, you can immerse yourself in Ladin culture and tradition, visiting the town's neighbourhoods and districts. The historic city centre encourages you to take a walk, poking around in between the windows of shops selling crafts, typical local products and clothing.
Every year, Moena hosts two food and wine fairs, which highlight the local tastes, smells and commodities: "A tavola con la Fata delle Dolomiti" ("At dinner with the Fairy of the Dolomites") in March and "Sapori d'autumno" ("Flavours of Autumn") in September. The main ingredient in many recipes is the famous cheese "PDO Puzzone di Moena", which has been protected for years by Slow Food.
Moena is part of the prestigious "Alpine Pearls" club, which links 25 tourist destinations dedicated towards promotion of ecologically conscious Alpine holidays and environment-friendly modes of transport.
Moena is well-connected by public transport to the main tourist destinations in Trentino-South Tyrol.
Allow yourself an unforgettable holiday! Moena is waiting for you!
That is the chorus of "La cianzon de Val de Fascia", the anthem of Val di Fassa, written in the Ladin language: the piece, which is particularly poetic, consists of lyrics by Francesco Dezulian del Garber (1898-1986) and music written by Luigi Canori (1908-1991).
Val di Fassa - located in the north-east of the Trentino region, bordering the provinces of Bolzano (South Tyrol) and Belluno (Veneto) - is surrounded by some of the most important mountain ranges in the Dolomites: the Marmolada, the Sella Group, the Sassolungo Group, the Catinaccio group.
The Avisio stream crosses the entire valley, and originates from the Marmolada glacier, flowing into the Adige, near Lavìs, a little to the north of Trento.
As well as the Strada delle Dolomiti, you can reach Val di Fassa via 5 picturesque Alpine passes: San Pellegrino, Costalunga, Sella, Pordoi and Fedaia.
So much nature to enjoy in Val di Fassa and its surroundings
Marmolada, standing at 3,342 metres tall, is the Queen of the Dolomites!
The Marmolada funicular leaves from Malga CIapela, and connects the station of departure (1,450m) to Punta Rocca (3.265m). While at the midway Seratura station, you can visit the Museum of the Great War.
The Grotto Chapel at Punta Rocca houses a statue of the Madonna, "Queen of the Dolomites", consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1979, and since then has been a pilgrimage destination during the summer months.
Between Rocca Pietore and Malga Ciapela, you will find the Serrai di Sottoguda, a deep natural gorge of around two kilometres in length, enclosed by immense walls of rock which have a sheer drop. This canyon is the most well-known and most visited ice wall of the Dolomites, and can be seen by a fun train in the summer months.
Sella Group
The Sella group is situated in the heart of the Dolomites - between the Fassa, Livinallongo, Badia and Gardena valleys - and is by the famous "four passes": Passo Gardena (north), Passo Campolongo (east), Passo Pordoi (south) e Passo Sella (west).
From Passo Pordoi (12km from Canazei), you can use the funicular to get to Sass Pordoi, the southernmost point of Sella: here, at 2,950 metres above sea level, the landscape will truly leave you speechless, with a 360° view of the main groups of the Dolomites: from Marmolada to Pale di San Martino, from Sassolungo to Tofane, Antelao, Pelmo, Sasso della Croce, Civetta, Conturines, Lavarella, Sorapis, Catinaccio.
Catinaccio Group
The Catinacciio Dolomite group - located between Valle di Tires, Val d'Ega and Val di Fassa - is characterised by a steep and jagged summit; several peaks approach an altitude of 3,000 metres: Catinaccio d'Antermoia (3.002 m), Catinaccio (2.981 m), Cima Scalieret (2.887 m), the Vajolet Towers (2.813 m), Roda di Vael (2.806 m).
The name "Catinaccio" comes from the Ladin word "ciadinàc", which means a mountain basin. The German name "Rosengarten" means rose garden, and comes from the legend from of King Laurin.
The main way to get to the heart of the massif is the Vigo-Ciampedìe funicular, which can be accessed via a convenient escalator from the centre of Vigo di Fassa.
Latemar Group
The Latemar Dolomite group is located south of Cantinaccio, across the Fiemme, Fassa and Ega valleys. Many peaks mark the perimeter of this ancient atoll, in a horseshoe shape that opens up to the east: Croda di Lausa (2.876 m), the Campanili del Latemar (2.842 m), Cima di Val Bona (2.822 m), Molignon (2.820 m), Corno d'Ega (2.799 m), Schenon (2.791 m).
You can get there from Predazzo (the Predazzo/Gardonè cable car and then the gardonè/Passo Feudo chair lift), from Alpe di Pampeago and from Val d'Ega.
Don't miss the Latemarium hiking park, with a perfect observation point to see these enchanting peaks, and with many themed trails appropriate for children.
Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Natural Park
The Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Natural Park, in Western Trentino, spreads over a surface area of over 19,000 hectares, comprising Val Venegia, Paneveggio Forest, a large proportion of the Pale di San Martino Group, the westernmost point of the Lagorai chain and a part of the Luisa chain - Cima Bocche
From Moena, the park's closest entry point is the "Forest Land" Paneveggio visitor centre, at the side of the road that goes from Predazzo to Passo Rolle: the centre calls to mind the eponymous spruce forest, known as the "Foresta dei Violini" (Violin Forest) for the quality of its wood used by luthiers.
Lago di Carezza
Beyond Passo Costalunga (8km from Vigo di Fassa) - closely connected by dense spruce woods and surrounded by the peaks of the Latemar group - there lies the glistening Lago di Carezza, a small jewel of the Dolomites, which has always marvelled visitors. It is no coincidence that it has been a source of inspiration for poets and painters enchanted by its beauty.
In Ladin, it is also called "Lec de Ercaboan", which means "rainbow lake", because the reflection of the sun on its water creates an effect that looks like the colours of the rainbow.
The Dolomites
"The Dolomites may not be the tallest mountains in the world, but they are certainly the most beautiful"
– Reinhold Messner –
On the 29th of June, 2009, UNESCO named the Dolomites as a World Heritage Site. This is a complex area, both from a geographic and an administrative point of view, spreading over 142,000 hectares through 3 Italian regions (Trentino-Alto Adige, Fiuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto) and is made up of nine mountain systems:
- Pelmo, Croda da Lago
- Marmolada
- Pale di San Martino, San Lucano, Dolomiti Bellunesi, Vette Feltrine
- Dolomiti Friulane and d'Oltre Piave
- Dolomiti settentrionali
- Puez-Odle
- Sciliar-Catinaccio, Latemar
- Bletterbach
- Dolomiti di Brenta
Origins of the name
The name "Dolomites" comes from Dèodat de Dolomieu (1750-1801), a French naturalist and geologist who discovered the specific chemical composition (bicarbonate of calcium and magnesium) of mineral that characterises these mountains' rocks.
Dolostone shows up as a very white rock, which is the reason why the Dolomites are also called "Pale Mountains"; however, at sunrise and particularly at sunset, the rocks, illuminated by the Sun, create a spectrum of colours from pink to bright red: the natural phenomenon Alpenglow (in Italian, enrosadira, from the Ladin word "rosadüra or "enrosadöra", which means "to become pink").
The Legends of the Pale Mountains
The allure of the Dolomites has inspired many tales.
In particular, a Ladin legend provides a romantic explanation for the pale colour of the Dolomites, and the consequent nickname of the "Pale Mountains".
"Once upon a time, the cliffs of the Realm of the Dolomites were the same dark colour as the Alps, there was peace and joy everywhere, except in the royal castle.
It all began when the King's son married the princess of the Moon; the prince, however, could not stand the light of the Moon, while his beloved became sick at the sight of the gloomy mountains; as a result, the two young lovers had to live apart.
One day, the prince met a small gnome, Laurin, the king of the Salvani, looking for a place for his people to live. In exchange for living on these mountains, Laurin promised the young man that he would cover the peaks of his kingdom in light. The Prince, happy and incredulous, accepted. So it was that, when night came, a thousand dwarves started to spin the Moon's rays, weaving a blanket with which they clothed the mountains. In the morning, these were as luminous and pale as the moon; at their sight, the princess stopped getting sick and the two young lovers could finally live happily ever after.
This kingdom no longer exists, but the mountains have kept their white colour: they are the Dolomites! "

Being diagnosed with rectal cancer in October 2017 was a real shock. I had previously had an unrelated breast cancer diagnosis in 2013 so my immediate reaction was 'why me again?' I also felt that I was letting my family, friends and employers down by putting them through the stress and inconvenience of having to deal with my diagnosis and treatment.
My role as a Property Manager can be quite stressful at times. I look after the structures and communal areas of blocks of flats and help people to deal with problems they might be experiencing in their homes, like a leak or a fire.
I spoke with my managers as soon as I was diagnosed. They were extremely supportive and understanding. I was given the option of signing off work straight away, but I chose to continue working until my treatment started and was allowed to work from home during this time. I just wanted to keep myself busy and continue as normally as possible for as long as I could.
When I decided to return to work, both my employers and I were unsure about my rights so I called Macmillan's Work Support Service. The adviser explained that I could request 'reasonable adjustments' to help my return and explained what a reasonable adjustment might look like. I was also provided with Macmillan's Rights at Work and Managing Cancer in the Workplace booklets.
It was really helpful to have this information to hand when meeting with my manager. We used this to agree some adjustments to my hours and duties, including working from home, working fewer hours and adjusting my contract so that my hours were calculated over the month rather than on specific days. These adjustments really helped me to get back into the workplace.
Returning to work was difficult at first, having been off for nearly a year, but I'm really enjoying it. Unfortunately, my cancer has now spread to my lungs so I'm receiving treatment and being regularly monitored. But getting back to work has helped me to regain a sense of normality and made me feel a valued member of my work team. I feel like 'me' again.
Get the support you need
If you have cancer and are concerned about how this will affect work, we can help. Find out more about your work rights, or call our dedicated Work Support Service on 0808 808 0000, Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm.
If you are an employer and would like more information about how to support an employee with cancer, we can help. Find out more.

It is an event where – during common fun and games – children become acquainted with the wealth and variety of the tradition of different countries and regions. They learn tolerance of and respect for their age peers' creeds, cultures, customs and behaviour patterns. The participants in the Festival of the Children of Mountains are Polish and foreign folk ensembles presenting diverse ethnic groups of sub-Carpathian regions as well as mountainous regions of all continents. Altogether there are around 500 participants aged 7-14.
The Festival has a unique formula: 6 foreign ensembles are paired up with 6 Polish ones to form the so-called comrade pairs. Over the 7 Festival days the children live, perform, go on trips, make bonfires, and spend one day in the homes of the Polish comrades. Each pair has its "national day," during which they are the "star" of the concerts; the ensembles present customs, traditions, handicrafts and dishes of their own regional cuisine. Furthermore, they prepare a special joint programme for the final concert, crafting a new quality out of the various elements of cultures and customs of particular nations. Such a Festival proceeding lets the children find their own communication language thanks to which fears of the other disappear, and the distrust of the strange and obscure – so inherent in every human being – turns into acceptance of cultural, religious and social otherness. As a result, friendship is born and it develops in future contacts.
The Festival has been organised since 1992. In its principles, it refers back to the programme premises of the Festival of the Mountains – a pre-war event originated by the Association of the Mountainous Lands, whose main aim was to preserve the cultural heritage – the cultivation and presentation of the tradition of folk culture and arts of the people inhabiting the sub-Carpathians. Currently, owing to the original programme principles which make the Nowy Sącz Festival stand out from other children's festivals of a similar nature, it has become an event whose significance reaches far beyond mere preservation and presentation of folk culture.
The 27 editions produced so far have hosted children's folk ensembles from 66 countries, which means that about 13 200 children have enjoyed the great adventure, made new friends, bringing joy to the inhabitants of the region and tourists, and – most importantly – have fulfilled and passed on the idea of the Festival: CHILDREN'S FRIENDSHIP BUILDS THE PEACE OF THE ADULTS' WORLD.
As for the audience member experience, the Festival is an extraordinarily colourful extravaganza. The multi-coloured parade down the town streets which takes place on the Festival opening day crowned with the inaugural concert of all the ensembles and a fireworks display in the Nowy Sącz old market square attract thousands of spectators each year. Crowds attend evening concerts on national days as well as the final concert. It is hard to express the emotions aroused by the Festival each year; it's just an unmissable event. We invite you to come to the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS – International Festival of Children's Folk Ensembles in Nowy Sącz.

Juan's budding romance with Magi Gregori is brought to a sudden halt when Stan, Gregori's childhood friend and former lover, arrives unexpectedly at the ranch. Their romance is threatened completely when Stan makes it clear that he wants Juan gone and is not above using any means necessary to make sure it happens. Caught in the middle, Gregori must choose: the old flame or the promise of a new fire.
(This book is not stand alone and must be read as part of the Sumeria's Sons series.)
In the second spin-off from the 'Sumeria's Sons' series that focuses on Magi/Lycan Gregori and his lover, the Lycan Juan, I was happy to see more of their lives together. I was not happy to see their romance threatened, as it has barely started (see 'A New Beginning'). But how can I resist a story set in one of my very favorite worlds? Plus I figure it's a good way to get me in the mood for the release of the next book in the main series a few days from now—'Surrounded by Crimson'—not that I really need much preparation. This installment is told first by Juan, and it was interesting to see his point of the events in more detail; then Gregori follows and it rounded out everything perfectly.
Juan is a proud warrior, very much in love with Gregori, but he isn't very sure of himself. Stan, a strong alpha and Gregori's ex, is messing things up with his desire to win back Gregori. Juan hates him with a passion, especially when he starts making noises about wanting Juan gone. But Juan is too honest and concerned for Gregori, so he wants to leave the choice to him. Not that there really is a choice, but Juan doesn't seem to want to believe that Gregori has already decided. But then Gregori takes matters into his own hands, and their passion explodes across the pages. Gregori doesn't stop there, and some of the information that followed had my jaw drop. As intense and action-packed as the volumes on the main series are, these spin-off books can definitely hold their own in the information department. Wow!
If you like the 'Sumeria's Sons' series, if you want to find out more about Juan's love for Gregori, and if you're looking for a read that is as full of revelations as it is hot, then you will probably like this short story. I think it's yet another great spin-off/addition to the series!

Making A Difference For The Planet
Why is this important
Personally, as a country boy from Southern Missouri, many of my best childhood memories are of spending time in nature. The forests and rivers I played in and studied were a gift from those who came before me. I may not have appreciated them as such at the time, but as an adult I do see them this way.
Second, out of respect for those who come afterwards. I want to do my part to ensure future generations can make their own memories in wild spaces.
Finally, perhaps a little selfishly, I make my living as a landscape photographer. I travel the world seeking out beautiful moments to share with my clients. I'm old enough to have seen the changes the world is undergoing, and am concerned about how I have added to that change. And what the future holds for opportunities to capture beautiful moments.
What does making a difference look like for Matt Chesebrough Photography
As a one person company I am but a small fish in the ocean, but I believe that I have a responsibility to do my part to make the world a better place. Starting Matt Chesebrough Photography pushed me to think about how the choices I make impact those around me. My vision of making a difference for the planet means the following. Giving time, talent, and treasure to organizations that amplify my single voice.
Be a proactive giver of time. Seek opportunities that allow service to conservation organizations. Examples include:
- Trail maintenance days
- Photographing events
- Beach cleanups
Use my skills to support ongoing activities. Examples include:
- Photographing ad campaigns
- Photographing events
- Speaking engagements
Putting my money where my mouth is. Donating a portion of company revenue.
- 1% of Gross Sales donated to One Percent for the Planet (Sales up to $150,000).
- 2.5% of Gross Sales donated to One Percent for the Planet (Sales $150,001 to $250,000).
- 5% of Gross Sales donated to One Percent for the Planet (Sales over $250,000).

Coming Soon: Carbon Offsets
Any tangible product comes at a cost.
Resources are consumed and pollution produced. I'm committed to making up for more than my share of these costs.
I'm working to calculate my carbon offsets for this year and prior years traveling and product creation. More information to come.
All of us can make a difference
Thank you for letting me share what is going on at Matt Chesebrough Photography. I hope that what you have seen here will encourage you to pursue organizations to make a difference in the world.

I wanted to email you to thank you for your ideas. Sunday my husband grilled 8 chicken breasts for us to eat on this week. Having cooked chicken in the refrigerator allows me to prepare a grilled chicken salad with fresh, raw veggies and lettuce in 5 minutes.
Yesterday I cooked 2 lbs of breakfast sausage. Using my kitchen scale, I measured individual servings, put the cooked meat in sandwich zip lock bags and placed in the freezer. This morning I pulled out one bag, scrambled an egg and had breakfast in 5 minutes.
Now I'm boiling several eggs to put in the refrigerator to have for a snack or salad for a few days. I'm a natural planner and organizer so this comes easy for me. I just have to do it!

bedhead documentation
The bedhead function returns static pressure head at an ice sheet base in units of meters freshwater equivalent. This function calculates only a simple first-order approximation and does not consider effects such as velocity or strain or really anything fancy.
This function requires no special toolboxes and can be used for any glacier or ice sheet DEM, but if you do not supply your own DEM, the bedhead function will automatically use the Bedmap2 DEM. If you do not supply a DEM of your own you'll need the Bedmap2 Toolbox for Matlab and Antarctic Mapping Tools, both of which are available on the Mathworks File Exchange site.
psi = bedhead psi = bedhead(lat,lon) psi = bedhead(x,y) psi = bedhead(...,extrakm) psi = bedhead(...,'surface',SurfaceDEM) psi = bedhead(...,'bed',BedDEM) psi = bedhead(...,'thickness',ThicknessDEM) psi = bedhead(...,'rhoi',IceDensity) psi = bedhead(...,'rhow',WaterDensity) [X,Y,psi] = bedhead(...)
psi = bedhead returns a 6667x6667 1 km gridded static pressure head for Antarctica from Bedmap2.
psi = bedhead(lat,lon) returns 1 km gridded static pressure head from Bedmap2 bounded by a polar stereographic quadrangle just large enough to encompass all the points in lat,lon. This syntax follows the bedmap2_data function.
psi = bedhead(x,y) returns 1 km gridded static pressure head from Bedmap2 bounded by a polar stereographic quadrangle just large enough to encompass all the polar stereographic (ps71 meters) coordinates x,y. This syntax follows the bedmap2_data function.
psi = bedhead(...,extrakm) adds a specified extra number of kilometers around x,y or lat,lon if the syntax above is used. This adds a buffer around your data, or if you would like a 500-km wide grid centered on a single point (75°S,100°E) let extrakm equal 250, i.e., bedhead(-75,100,250),
psi = bedhead(...,'surface',SurfaceDEM) specifies a gridded surface elevation DEM. If you specify a surface DEM you must also specify a BedDEM or a ThicknessDEM.
psi = bedhead(...,'bed',BedDEM) specifies a gridded bed elevation DEM. If you specify a bed elevation DEM you must also specify a SurfaceDEM or a ThicknessDEM.
psi = bedhead(...,'thickness',ThicknessDEM) specifies a gridded ice thickness DEM. If you specify a thickness DEM you must also specify a BedDEM or a SurfaceDEM.
psi = bedhead(...,'rhoi',IceDensity) specifies ice density. If you specify your own DEM you may also define IceDensity as a spatially-variable grid, say if you want to fully model variations in column- averaged density due to firn air content. Default value is 917 kg/m^3.
psi = bedhead(...,'rhow',WaterDensity) specifies density of fresh water. Default value is 1000 kg/m^3.
[X,Y,psi] = bedhead(...) returns gridded polar stereographic meters X,Y corresponding to the psi grid.
Example 1: Hydrostatic potential under Kamb Ice Stream:
Get a 600-km wide map of hydrostatic potential under Kamb Ice Stream:
[kamblat,kamblon] = scarloc('kamb ice stream');
[X,Y,psi] = bedhead(kamblat,kamblon,300);
And plot with pcolor:
pcolor(X,Y,psi) shading flat axis equal scarlabel('Kamb Ice Stream','fontangle','italic') cb = colorbar; ylabel(cb,'hydraulic head (m)')
Example 2: Define your own DEM:
Suppose you have some arbitrary 1 km grid, 1000 km wide, centered on Byrd Camp. For this example I'll use psgrid to create such a grid:
[lat,lon] = psgrid('byrd camp',1000,1);
To make this example easy I'm using Bedmap2 surface and bed elevations as a starting point:
sfz = bedmap2_interp(lat,lon,'surface'); bed = bedmap2_interp(lat,lon,'bed');
But Bedmap2 has its uncertainties. Let's say it's 10 m for the surface and the bed uncertainty is given by:
bedunc = bedmap2_interp(lat,lon,'beduncertainty'); % Create surface and surface and bed DEMs with random values added to simulate % uncertainties (crude approach, I know): sfz2 = sfz + 10*randn(size(sfz)); bed2 = bed + bedunc.*randn(size(bed)); % Pressure head for the DEM with random uncertainties added is then given by: psi2 = bedhead('surface',sfz2,'bed',bed2);
figure mapzoom('byrd camp',1000,'inset','nw') pcolorm(lat,lon,psi2)
There is only one simple mathematical expression in this function, which I adapted from Section 3.3 of
Fricker, H.A. and T. Scambos. "Connected subglacial lake activity on lower Mercer and Whillans ice streams, West Antarctica, 2003?2008." Journal of Glaciology 55.190 (2009): 303-315,
Fricker and Scambos and just about everyone else who has done work in this area cite Shreve, who seems to be the originator of the model:
Shreve, R. L. "Movement of water in glaciers." Journal of Glaciology 11 (1972): 205-214.
Author Info
This function and supporting documentation were written by Chad A. Greene of the University of Texas at Austin's Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), January 2016. I did not come up with the model for subglacial hydraulic head. If you use this function please cite the Shreve 1972 paper listed above.

This is a great read. I have never learned much about China or Chinese culture, but in my book club, we read another book by Lisa See called Shanghai Girls. Both of these books are difficult to read because of the subject matter. Feet binding, abuse, discrimination, death. So hard to read. But I believe anything hard to read is worth it if I am learning something new that can help me to see the world and life more openly.
I saw that there was a movie made of this book, so I wanted to read the book first. It is the story of two girls and how their relationship grows and changes throughout their lives. Beginning with feet binding and ending 80 years later. Truly a great read.

Like fashion, music, and architecture, interior design has changed drastically over the last hundred years. What's the bleeding-edge of hipness one year becomes totally passé the next, only to come full circle and be cool and ironic again a few years later - in what professional designers refer to as the "pendulum effect." On the other hand, many design elements, materials, textures, and styles have withstood the test of time - a Louis XIV armchair is always a Louis XIV armchair, after all, and fine workmanship and basic good taste are always in vogue.
New Yorkers' tastes have been influenced by war, new technology, and even domestic situations. Designers and the media have driven major decorative eras ranging from the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements that characterized the 1920s and "˜30s to the eclectic, portable style many New Yorkers are opting for in the post-9/11, post-millennial city. In a town where preferences are more diverse than ever, the "˜next big thing' in terms of decorative style is anyone's guess.
"As far as what look people choose, it has no bearing on 9/11," says Marjorie Hilton of Hilton Interiors Inc., a Manhattan-based design firm. "The only swing that I've felt is that people are interested in staying home more, so they want their homes to be beautified more than they used to. It's not more comforting, it's more minimal." But, Hilton points out that she doesn't necessarily feel there's a relationship between comfort versus minimalism and 9/11.
Hilton does concede to a correlation between today's eclectic tastes and a similarly eclectic world. Past decades saw New Yorkers sticking with generally more uniform materials and colors, but she says today "people want to mix things up. They want a glass table, a comfortable sofa, an Ottoman, maybe in leather, high-tech TVs, beautiful music, and stainless-steel kitchens that are easy to clean. They like materials and furniture that are low-maintenance." The home is a comfort zone for entertaining friends in an open, free-flowing environment - the formal, closed off kitchen is harder to find these days. "Everything is more," Hilton continues. "It's become highly developed. It's much more comfortable, luxurious and developed."
Matthew Decillis, president of Columbia Home Interiors, a New York-based design firm, says, "it depends on the individual client. I'm seeing a trend more toward the modern to contemporary." He says polished chrome, the use of which was nil for years, is popular again. Polished and antique brass enjoyed their time in the spotlight before that, but Decillis says many lighting manufacturers are promoting brushed nickel and polished chrome.

For October's Banned Books (late again!), we read The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn.
First published: 1884
In the Top Ten most frequently challenged books in 2002 (source)
Reasons: offensive language
Do you understand or agree with any of the reasons for the book being challenged when it was originally published?
BETH: I can probably speak for my sister right now and confirm that Huckleberry Finn was a bit of a tricky book for us both to read and analyse. Full disclosure right now – I didn't manage to finish it so this post is being written without having read to the end. I can only report back on the small portion that I did manage to read. Personally, I think that the reasoning for challenging or banning should be a little more specific – in my opinion, "offensive language" is slightly vague and does not get to the real heart of the matter that this book covers. After a little internet searching and my limited experience of the book, I found it was mainly the racist terms/attitudes and the dialect used by the main character that were most offensive. As someone who finds these kind of things abhorrent obviously I don't agree with it but I can also understand that this book is probably a product of its time. Not that it makes it acceptable, it doesn't! However, I think we still need to read about the past to appreciate where we need to be in the future.
CHRISSI: This was a struggle to read and finish. Like Beth, I didn't manage to finish this book and found myself skim reading. For me, I found the racist attitudes hard to read and it made me uncomfortable. Therefore from that side of things, I do understand why this book might be challenged. Although I think it's more likely to be challenged nowadays when the type of language isn't seen as acceptable.
How about now?
BETH: This novel was challenged/banned as recently as 2002 which makes me believe that some readers are quite rightly upset by its contents – particularly the language that is used. As a white person, I don't think I'm ever going to be able to fully appreciate how upsetting that might be but I can acknowledge why people would be offended. From my point of view, I think if a book is presented in the right way i.e. taught that this kind of language is no longer acceptable then those studying it can always learn something from it to build a better future without racism or discrimination. I think everyone should have access to all literature – no matter what the issue, purely for the chance to learn. If things are hidden away or restricted, understanding abhorrent attitudes will be slightly more difficult.
CHRISSI: I can totally understand why this book has been challenged in recent times. The language used is completely offensive. However, I agree with Beth, if this book is used to examine how things used to be- then I can totally see its worth. I know many people have enjoyed this book, so there's surely something about it!
What did you think of this book?:
BETH: Unfortunately as mentioned in the first paragraph of this review, I didn't get on with Huckleberry Finn. It wasn't that I was offended by the language – although some of the attitudes did make me cross but I found it slow and difficult to read. I couldn't connect with any of the characters or feel invested in the plot.
CHRISSI: I wasn't a fan of it. I didn't finish it because I found it difficult to read. It hasn't been the first time I've tried to read this book. I see so many people loving this book and it's really not for me. I just can't get into the plot, no matter how hard I try!
Would you recommend it?:
BETH: Not sure.
CHRISSI: It's not for me!

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Websites open in different browsers, windows, or tabs should be unable to interact or see each other. Emphasis on "should".
While using my bank's secure site, I realized that an unsecured site (Hotmail) was still running in the background. Would this compromise the data on the secure bank site?
OK, there are no absolutes when it comes to computing, so a more accurate answer is actually it shouldn't: It should be perfectly safe to have your bank open in one window or tab, and an unsecured site, such as Hotmail, open in another.
Let me explain why I have to say "should".
Two sites that are being viewed in separate windows aren't supposed to be able to interact or even know that the other exists.
However, there's no such thing as bug-free software, and it's conceivable that a vulnerability exists that might allow a malicious website in one window to somehow affect or interact with the other. It's not likely, but certainly possible.
That's one of the reasons why keeping your browser and operating system as up to date as possible is so important. Vulnerabilities such as this are fixed when found, but the only way that you'd get the fix is to keep your software up to date.
This is also another case where keeping Windows itself up to date is key as well. Regardless of which web browser, you use it's Windows that provides the underlying system services. An unpatched vulnerability in those services could indeed manifest through your browser.
You don't visit malicious sites, do you? Sites where perhaps questionable or even illegal content is made available?
I'm sure you don't.
But for a moment, let's pretend that you do.
Those are sites that I would recommend against having open in other windows or tabs while you do your online banking.
The issue isn't so much about cross-window access as it is about malware. If your machine gets some sort of infection from visiting a malicious website, then it's possible that your anti-malware tools might not be able to stop it before it does something to compromise your system; this could exploit the fact that you happen to have your banking window open at the same time. The anti-malware tools may clean up after, but by then, it may be too late.
Naturally, I recommend avoiding potentially malicious sites to begin with, but if your habits include the questionable, then don't try and bank online at the same time.
And for the record, while I seriously question its use as an email service, I don't consider Hotmail a questionable site.
The real threat to online banking isn't from other sites being open in your browser; it's from malware, such as viruses or spyware, already on your machine.
Naturally, all of the standard advice applies: keeping your system up to date, using your anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall, and, of course, following good online behavior should all be used.
There are individuals who actually recommend keeping a separate computer, perhaps even running a non-Windows operating system, for online banking. I can't really fault the thinking, but in my own case, I simply follow the advice above and feel plenty secure.

Most of my computing is done with the Windows O/S, but for on line banking I use a dedicated netbook with Ubuntu O/S. It has a firewall and I keep Clam up to date. This computer has no internet activity except banking and updates. It is only turned on for those operations.
The computer cost about 300.00 and is nearly 3 years old, I expect to be using it for a few more years, so I don't consider it an expensive solution. If it lasts 6 years total it will have been about the same price as 6 years of paid AV. Ubuntu firewall and Clam AV are free.
I also have a special credit card for on line purchases. This card has a 750 dollar limit so if it is hacked it won't hurt too bad. I pay it off each month because it is at a high rate of interest. Again it doesn't cost very much.
Your columns are very useful, thanks for producing them.
Never gave this a thought until now, I normally open the US Weather Bureau, the local newspaper website, my email service and Netflix (all four in tabs as my home page) in Firefox. If I want to open my bank or credit card accounts I either do it in a new tab or one of the four already opened. Henceforth, it will be Right-click; close other tabs FIRST.
I'm not a fan on online banking, not till a few more wrinkles are worked out.
However, if I ever get around to it, I think I'll follow the suggestion to use some flavor of hardened Nix on a Live CD. Boot to Nix, do the banking, and reboot back to the normal HD based OS of your choice.
It is a little inconvenient, but it bumps up the security level.

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.[a]13 In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person's account when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression. He is a prototype[b] of the Coming One.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. 16 And the gift is not like the one man's sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.[c] 17 Since by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

To George Washington from David Stuart, 5 November 1792
From David Stuart
Ge town 5th Novr 1792
Dear Sir,
I recieved your letter of the 21st ulmo a few days ago, but deferred answering it, 'till I could again see Mr Bayly, & Mr [Daniel] Carroll of Duddington, my informants respecting Coll Mercer's speech1—Inclosed, I send you Mr Bayly's certificate of what passed—Mr Carroll tho' he agrees with Mr Bayly, that Coll Mercer expressed himself as stated, has I know not for what reasons declined sending me his certificate, as he promised.2 The conversation happened at dinner at Marlborough, in the presence of many and I have heard it spoke of by many since, and with but little variation—Mr Samuel Hanson among others, informed me as I passed through Alexa., that his Brother Coll Thomas Hanson, who heard Coll Mercer, at the same time with Mr Bayly, had given him the same idea of Coll Hamilton's having offered Coll Mercer a bribe, as is certifyed by Mr Bayly3—From my acquaintance with Mr Bayly, and his general character, I think him as much to be depended on, as any man in the State of Maryland—And, if it is thought proper to investigate the charge, I am satisfied, Mr Bayly's certificate can never be done away.4 I am Dr Sir, with the greatest respect Your most Obt Servt

ALS, DLC: Hamilton-McLane Papers.
1. For background on the prolonged dispute between John Francis Mercer and Alexander Hamilton, see GW to Stuart, 21 Oct. 1792, and note 2; Hamilton to Mercer, 26 Sept. 1792, and introductory note, in Syrett, Hamilton Papers, description begins Harold C. Syrett et al., eds. The Papers of Alexander Hamilton. 27 vols. New York, 1961–87. description ends 12:481–90.
2. William Bayly (Bailey, Bayley; c.1742–1824), a merchant and planter who lived in Prince Georges County, Md., provided a certificate concerning a bribe that Hamilton allegedly offered Mercer in exchange for his vote in favor of "An Act supplementary to the act making provision for the Debt of the United States," 8 May 1792 (1 Stat. description begins Richard Peters, ed. The Public Statutes at Large of the United States of America, from the Organization of the Government in 1789, to March 3, 1845 . . .. 8 vols. Boston, 1845-67. description ends 281–83). The enclosed copy of Bayly's statement has not been identified, but a signed certificate of 4 Nov. 1792 in DLC: Hamilton Papers reads: "On Tuesday the 2d Day of the Election at Upper Marlbro, after I had got there, I heard that Colo. Mercer had said, that Mr Hambliton the Secretary had Offered him, Money if he wou'd Vote for the Assumption, I asked Colo. Mercer if he had said so, he Answered Yes, by God he had, Mr Walter Bowie who was sitting by Colo. Mercer, said it was in a Jocular way, I then ask'd Colo. Mercer if he thought Mr Hambliton was Serious or Jesting, he Answered, that he had a Right to take it either way—I Repeated the same Question, to which he made the same Answer, but said he wou'd tell me how it was, He then said, he had been Down at Mr Hamblitons Office, in Order to settle some Accounts, or to receive some Money that was due to him, from the United States, but that Mr Hamblitons Clerks, or Understrappers, wou'd not pay it—& on Colo. Mercers Return from the Office he met Mr Hambliton who Observed to him, if he wou'd Vote for the Assumption—he Mr Hambliton wou'd pay the money."
3. Samuel Hanson of Samuel (c.1752–1830), a merchant who currently was the surveyor of the port of Alexandria, Va., and his brother Thomas Hawkins Hanson (1750–1810), who lived at Oxon Hill in Maryland across the Potomac River from Alexandria, were longtime acquaintances of GW (see Samuel Hanson to GW, 2 Oct. 1788, source note, and GW to the U.S. Senate, 6 Mar. 1792).
4. Sometime in April 1793 Hamilton apparently decided it was time to end the charges and countercharges that had dominated his relationship with Mercer for the past year, and on his "Statement on Remarks by John F. Mercer," he wrote: "This matter is dead. I will not revive it" (Syrett, Hamilton Papers, description begins Harold C. Syrett et al., eds. The Papers of Alexander Hamilton. 27 vols. New York, 1961–87. description ends 14:361–63).

Ultrafine mill to determine the price of the most important factors include
Ultrafine mill equipment is SBM Machinery Co., Ltd. for the characteristics of ore materials out of research, specifically for Mohs hardness of ore grinding and processing below 6, customers in need can go to SBM Machinery Co., Ltd. to buy, SBM To provide you with full service, but many customers consider buying more when the
ultrafine mill
, such as price is the most important consideration, the following SBM tells you what is the impact of the price of the mill equipment, how to choose a reasonable price Mill equipment.
Under normal circumstances, buy flour mill before, what are you most concerned about it? Business, product quality, price? Shanghai mill which mill product quality and price are reliable, you can go to SBM to see. Mining machine industry or need to use mine machine business is most concerned about two things, one is the quality of the product, one is the price. Similarly, the sales of milling equipment are mainly affected by product quality and price impact, and now the overall mining machine market is relatively stable, with the price of steel, ore prices, building materials prices and other prices, for some large Business impact is not large, but for some small businesses, largely constrained. SBM Machinery Co., Ltd. based on the recent sales of milling machines to analyze the situation, summed up the following factors that affect their prices. The company is located in:
The first is the instability of the steel market, the rebound of steel prices, coupled with plenty of funds early in the market, pushed up the futures price of steel. Under the influence of making money, the new admission of funds has increased market expectations of rising prices, making the current steel market stock market increasingly serious trend of such a direct result of a change in steel trading mode of operation.
Followed by lack of confidence in the market, this wave of this wave of market this year mainly due to low-end small traders purchase, concentrate on the release of procurement energy, steel shipments homeopathic control, resulting in out of stock market specifications, and then raise the benchmark price of the entire market. As there is no major change in the major supply and demand side, this wave of market is mainly driven by market expectations.

Nick Holtam, the Bishop of Salisbury, spoke in support of equal marriage at yesterday's Cutting Edge Consortium conference. CEC have published the text of the bishop's talk as a Google document, and we have made it available as a more convenient webpage.
Thank goodness for the sanity and openness of at least one of the Church of England Bishops! Nick Holtam here enunicates what many of us in the Church are now thinking: That Gay Marriage is no threat to the institution of Heterosexual Marriage. Perhaps the biggest threat to any marriage, gay or straight, is the spectre of unfaithfulness and the culture of 'Changing Partners. As Saint Paul reminds us: "It is better to marry than burn!" Why then should intrinsically Gay persons not be actively encouraged to commit themselves to a monogamous, faithful, partnership for life? Surely Gay Marriage will… Read more »
Once upon a time the Church used to take a lead in moral issues – now all it seems to do is follow the secular tend like a naughty dog with its tail between its legs.
I am scratching my head trying to remember the last time an increasingly irrelevant Established Church lead the way – was it really as far back as Runcie's "Faith in the City"?
There's much talk nowadays about our omnishambles Government – how long will it be before critics and observers apply the same word to the once great Church of England
It is so refreshing to read something that is so sensible and full of commonsense. I think we may be turning a bit of a corner and people are beginning to break rank a little more. Once the crumble starts there will be no going back….as with the Covenant.
The Holy Spirit is thankfully alive in some parts of the Anglican communion. Nick has become Bishop of Salisbury, in spite of Rowan. Now we have his positive talk on same sex marriage. Just let us thank God.
Thank God for some sensible comments by Nick Holtam. All Churches, including the RC Church permit poersons past the age of childbearing to marry in church despite the fact that pregnancy is impossible. Marriage is more than creating children. It is a covenantal relationship with grace from God.
I do not like the idea of religious marriage being different from secular marriage.
First Civil Partnerships and now gay mnarriage has caught the Church as ever on the back foot, thrashing around in ignorance and prejudice trying to discover what it ought to be doing. Just saying NO is no longer good enough. Bishops Nick and Alan Wilson are leading the way to an affirming church which sees good in permanent faithful and stable relationships of what ever sexuality and which encourages them as a model for society as a whole. We should be particularly thankful that Bishop Nick clearly hasn't caved into Graham Kings et al and is prepared to continue to… Read more »
I must say I do agree with Una. If procreation is excluded by virtue of use of contraception, being of post child bearing age, having had sterilisation or engaging in non-reproductive sex acts then all such sex is presumably all equally reprehensible (Humanae Vitae at least has a degree of internal logic to it). I may have missed it but I cannot recall the C of E restricting marriage to the fertile and intending to reproduce, or indeed of teaching the faithful to make sure they stay celibate if unable or unwilling to procreate. This moral law applies in its… Read more »
Concerning the Coalition for Marriage petition of over 450,000 signatures, Nick Holtam states: 'It is a very large number, but still only a quarter of the 1.8 million who signed the petition opposing road tolls in 2007, and the equivalent of about 12% of those who are regular church attenders in this country.' By that comparison, he endeavours to undermine the relevance of the petition, only to highlight the views of two unrepresentative samples as more relevant. According to Bishop Holtam, the informal responses of local sixth-formers and over 60s at a Salisbury Deanery Synod meeting need not be qualified… Read more »
No Craig, you've got it wrong….as long as the couple do nothing to thwart the will of God, they are in good faith..they are still open to a miracle.
Well, if you need to rely on miracles to keep gay people out of your concept of marriage, then you're limiting God by saying he can only perform miracles for straight couples.
Who's to say he couldn't do it for a gay couple too?
'the outcome of the British Social Attitudes Survey 2008. The latter clearly showed that .. the population was largely in favour of Civil Partnerships'
What wonderful news ! I had no idea.
David, fidelity and lifelong commitment used to be Christian values – until lesbian and gay couples asked to be part of the same formula of seeking blessing of God and recognition of their sincere love from the Church. That is basically what he is advocating, along with respect for people's love, regardless of gender or orientation. I think he is a good man. Marriage is harmed by breakdown of heterosexual relationships, not by other people wanting to embrace its devotion, care and commitment. The Church should be encouraging, affirming, and embracing this fidelity and commitment – and love – and… Read more »
Susannah: The institution of marriage is harmed by reducing its foundation to nothing more than an intense emotional connection. While emotions are important, the marriage is open to legal annulment (as if it didn't happen) by either party when consummation does not result. This is understood by the law to be the normal expectation of marriage. It may surprise you that consummation does not result from an affectionate hug shared with no other, nor a special handshake extended to one's spouse alone. Instead, it's consenting organic bodily union that signals that both parties intend a conjugal relationship and the full… Read more »
Susannah has it right.
