WE talk a lot about the unspoiled beauty of the Highlands, the villages and crofts, the Neil Gunn museum and the kind of scenery that would make Walter Scott bite his pen in two. But the Highlands aren't there as a kind of unspoiled garden sanctuary that we can forget about until we want to visit whenever we deem fit, like Louis the Sun King.
In our interconnected, fast-paced world, we need to equip our young folk with the skills they need to succeed, and for STEMD (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and Digital) subjects, that often requires access to top-of-the-range equipment.
For folk in some of the more rural areas of Scotland, that can be a bit tricky. So we look to our neighbours and friends across the water for inspiration.
Originally conceived by the First Scandinavia foundation, there are more than 30 Newton Rooms scattered around Norway, all using high-tech equipment and facilities to get children and teens interested in STEMD skills.

Teachers and technological stakeholders have developed the Newton Scheme, with Newton Rooms including workstations, fully equipped labs and areas for demonstrations. Schools, local employers and the Newton Rooms work together to provide STEMD education in Norway's remote areas, so it's an interconnected, supported learning experience.
Now they're coming to Scotland, thanks to £3 million from the Scottish Government to the Science Skills Academy (SSA), through the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal. The SSA is a partnership project between Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the University of the Highlands and Islands, Skills Development Scotland and Highland Council. With an estimated 6000 jobs coming up in biosciences and renewable energy in the next five to eight years, we need to make sure that there's a skilled workforce ready for them. By making the Highlands a hub of STEMD, employers will be encouraged to locate the jobs there, boosting the local economy and highlighting Scotland as a vibrant, forward-thinking player on the world stage.
The first Newton Room looks to be located in Caithness, in theory by the end of the year, while discussions are still under way for a Lochaber location. So, what can pupils expect?
The Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger took a year to build and equip their Newton Room, where all 15-year-old students eventually donned white coats and trooped in to study energy-related science for a couple of days in the school year.
Theory and practice go hand in hand, and in these facilities students can delve in and discover it all for themselves, albeit with a supervisor on hand to make sure nothing breaks or explodes. Over in Stavanger, the facility was a collaboration between the Petroleum Museum, the City of Stavanger and Statoil, an oil and gas company located in the city. The first year saw students undertake a "Newton module" in line with the national curriculum, where they would prepare at the school, come to the Newton Room for the practical session and more teaching, and then finish the work off back in the classroom. On behalf of everyone who remembers sitting bored on a bench, watching a teacher talk through a technique and wondering why we couldn't do it ourselves, this sounds like the way forward for science classes.
The Newton Rooms will support practical STEMD activity for schools and pupils alike, providing a top-of-the-range base for extracurricular projects. The SSA will operate from the Inverness campus of the University of Highlands and Islands, using existing UHI links and expertise to make sure that the Newton Rooms are tailored for the area.
I've talked before about the Regina project, a partnership programme that brings together experts from the Nordic Arctic and Scotland to address common problems faced by remote areas where the traditional industry is winding down. There's a wealth of talent and experience in the Highlands and it's great to see folk being able to put their skills to use in advising our neighbours on these common issues.
By investing more STEMD resources in remote areas of Scotland, we'll be ensuring that we have a supply of ready-made experts able to export their knowledge across the world. These pilot Newton Rooms are just the beginning.

If you are new to ULFF or maybe you just recently bought an ULLFF equipment you can read through in order to get an idea of this niche within a niche.
Definition: By ULFF we are talking on equipment that starts at the 3wt according to the AFTMA standard all the way down to the 000wt equipment. Please note that the AFTMA standard doesn't include the range of equipment between 0wt and 000wt as this one was introduced by Sage.
History: The first ULFF rods that was recorded in print is a bamboo rod made by Leonard Catskill in the year of 1894, its intended line weight by today AFTMA standard was a 2wt, in the other hand the first graphite ULFF rods make their debut in the mid 70´s intended for 3wt lines going forward a 2wt line at the end of the 70´s. For the glass enthusiast, the first ULFF glass rods hit the market on a 3wt AFTMA standard at the beginning of the 80´s by Scott rod manufacturer. The pioneers on graphite ULFF tackle was Howard Steere and Jim West from Orvis in the mid 70´s and Jerry Siem from Sage (who was a former employee at Winston Rods) around the mid 90´s when Sage came up with the first 0wt outfit.
Orvis Western 862-4
Sage TXL 0710-3
Technical jargon: The AFTMA standard defines the weight in grains for the first 30 feet's of line (1 grain = 0.00228571429 ounces), so for lines weights from 3 to 1 are:
|54 to 66
|74 to 86
|94 to 106
Because the weight in grains ranging from 0 wt to 000 wt was defined by Sage they are not under the AFTMA standard and are as follows
Is worth noting that the 0wt is a light 1wt according to the AFTMA standard.
To make sense on this numbers in the whole technical jargon, we cannot leave this section without making clear that the fly line gives us the ability throw a fly on to the water, so the mass or weight of the line is an important factor when we go to the river and choose a fly and/or the right equipment to fish for our favorite fish species. In this sense the recommended line weight versus fly size is in the following table:
|Hooks sizes between 12 and 24
|Hooks sizes between 14 and 26
|Hooks sizes between 16 and 28
|Hooks sizes between 18 and 30
|Hooks sizes between 20 and 32
|Hooks sizes between 22 and 34
ULFF rod makers: Almost all of the fly fishing rod makers make 2wt and up rods, sadly the 1wt and under fly rods are made by just a few graphite rod makers and this dramatically decreases when you are looking for glass or bamboo rods. So, for rods in the 1wt category you can find them on the following rod makers: Orvis, Sage, Scott (glass), McFarland (glass), TFO and Cabelas. For bamboo rods you may find some maker able to build one just for you.
My favorite ULFF rods are: Orvis Superfine Touch/Trout Bum, Sage TXL/TXL-F and GLoomis Whispercreek series.
|Orvis Superfine Touch with custom reel seat and handle 601-3
|Orvis Superfine Trout Bum 761-4
|Orvis Superfine Touch 761-4
|Sage TXL 1710-3
|GLoomis Whisperlite 802-3
|GLoomis Metolius 803-3
ULFF reel makers: The vast majority of reel makers build reels for lines ranging from 3wt to 1wt, so bringing them here is a futile exercise. Instead what you need to know is the lighter the better, so I'm gonna list the reel makers that are relevant to me and also make the lightest reels that I'm aware of: Sage, Orvis, Waterworks-Lamson, Dannielson (look for the Midge reel), Ryobi, Nautilus, TFO and Forbes.
My favorite ULFF reels, with and without drag, are: Lamson ULA Purist 1, Sage 31o0 (not longer made), Sage Click I and Lamson Litespeed 1
|Sage 3100
|Lamson ULA Purist 1 and Litespeed 1
ULFF line makers: Here again almost all of the plastic line makers do lines for 2wt AFTMA standard and up, sadly for line weight 1 and under we are narrowed to Orvis (1wt) and Rio/Sage (1wt, 0wt, 00wt, 000wt). On the other hand on silk lines you can find them in a 1wt AFTMA standard from Phoneix, Terenzio y Cadno. Cadno is able to build lighter lines for you if you request them to do so.
Some advice for the beginner in the world of ULFF: If you are new to the ULFF world and you are looking which rod weight to buy is better to pick up a 3wt rod because in the lower weights its difficult to sense the road loading and you may end up frustrated, for the same reason don't go too short and get something above 8 feet long. In the other hand if you already have a 4wt rod don't go for a 3wt because the jump is too short and you are not gonna feel a whole difference, in this case you can go to a 2wt rod and at the beginning over line it with a 3wt line so you can feel the rod loading. On the other hand, in selecting a rod action I'll stick with the one that works for you in heavier outfits an that you have already and also feel comfortable with, remember that your muscles have "memory" because they have been swinging that old rod a lot so going with a different rod action can make things more difficult.
Some myths around ULFF:
- This kind of outfit makes the fight with the fish you are going after a longer one
- This kind of outfit are toys
- This kind of outfit are not intended for large fish
- This kind of outfit is limited to 20 feet casts
- This kind of outfit its only for dry fly fishing
Some facts around ULFF:
- Too much wind is gonna send you home
- Flies larger than a 10 size hook are awkward to cast
- Flies heavily weighted are awkward to cast
- The learning curve is steeper
- The fight with the smallest quarry feels like a shark pulling hard
Uses: ULFF is at its best for fishing in medium to small rivers, creeks and the like with small flies
Disclaimer: In doing this I try to be around what's its a common place along this board and general consensus about ULFF to give the newbie a guideline to start enjoining this sport. I'm not saying you can not use streamers, big flies and fish in windy conditions. Also notice that I pictured what I have and like, this may be or may not be your preference and is intended as a guideline.

The name of the clinic comes from the name health philosophers and anatomists have given to the most important structure in the body. The "C" shaped curve in the neck is known as the "The Arc of Life" because signals travel directly from the brain through this part of the spinal cord to bring life to the rest of the body. Any loss in the Arc of Life causes pressure on the brainstem or spinal cord leading to decreased function of the organs, tissues and cells of the body.
The goal of Chiropractic is to restore the alignment of the spine, remove interference and allow the body to function and heal at 100%. Our patients see amazing results with this holistic approach to healthcare. One of the most important principles we use is that we work with your body to allow your body to restore proper function.

Talk Fracking, represented by Leigh Day, was victorious today over their challenge against the government's adoption of out-of-date and flawed scientific evidence into its fracking planning policy.
This morning, in the Royal Court of Justice, Mr Justice Dove, announced that Talk Fracking had succeeded in its claim against the government, after allowing a judicial review in the case over the climate impacts of shale gas developments. This was heard on the 19 and 20 December 2018.
Talk Fracking argued that the government had acted unlawfully by adopting Paragraph 209a of the 2015 Written Ministerial Statement into a revised version of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published in July 2018, without first reviewing new scientific data in a transparent manner.
New evidence published since 2015 completely debunks the government's claim that fracking has a lower carbon footprint than imported liquid natural gas (LNG). Instead, scientific evidence has suggested that fracking exacerbates climate change.
The Mobbs Report, commissioned by Talk Fracking, exposed many of the findings of the government's keystone Mackay-Stone report. None of the evidence outlined in the Mobbs Report was considered before publishing the revised version of the NPPF in July 2018.
Whitehall's Fracking Science Failure: How the Government Has Misled Parliament and the Public on the Climate Change Impacts of Shale Oil and Gas Development in Britain, or the Mobbs Report as it is known, was commissioned in 2017 and written by Paul Mobbs.
According to the report, fracking is not a "bridge" to a low-carbon energy future as the government have misled the public to believe. The Mackay-Stone Report is a rusty holding pin that the government and industry have incorrectly relied upon to influence planning policy and party support for fracking since 2013.
The Mackay-Stone Report said fracking would help the UK transition to a renewable energy future whilst helping meet climate change targets. However, the Mobbs Report showed that fracking in the UK would mean missing obligations for the Paris Climate Agreement, whilst also contradicting the aims of The Climate Change Act (2008).
The Mobbs Report concluded that:
"Mackay-Stone Report must be withdrawn, and a moratorium implemented on all 'fracking' operations, until we can state the impacts with certainty."
In reaching his conclusions, Mr Justice Dove stated:
"What appears clear on the evidence is that the material from Talk Fracking, and in particular their scientific evidence as described in their consultation response, was never in fact considered relevant or taken into account, although…this material was relevant to the decision which was advertised, which included the substance and merits of the policy.
"On this basis it clearly was obviously material on the basis that it was capable of having a direct bearing upon a key element of the evidence base for the proposed policy and its relationship to climate change effects.
"As is clear…the MacKay and Stone Report was an important piece of evidence justifying the validity of the policy in the 2015 WMS, and the need to avoid adverse consequences for climate change were an important aspect of whether or not to adopt the policy."
He further stated:
"The consultation on the draft revised Framework 204a was so flawed in its design and processes as to be unlawful."
He said it breached the Sedley principles which set out the requirements for a lawful consultation exercise.
Judge Dove said evidence provided by Talk Fracking, including The Mobbs Report, was:
"Capable of having a direct bearing upon a key element of the evidence base for the proposed policy and its relationship to climate change effects."
Joe Corré, from Talk Fracking said:
"It's fantastic news to be victorious this morning. I'm very pleased that the Court has confirmed that the government has behaved irresponsibly and recklessly with our democratic rulebook.
"Their consultation was a farce. Their Written Ministerial Statement claim that fracking is a bridge to low carbon economy is not based on scientific evidence. This has been exposed by us taking them to Court. It is also clear, with guidance from the Court, that climate change objections to fracking must be considered at a local planning level."
During the initial hearing in December 2018, the government's chief counsel, Rupert Warren QC, was forced to state that in fact, councils could reject fracking on climate change grounds. This was a key finding, because previously, during all planning applications, councils and development control committees have been specifically told they are unable to consider climate change as a factor due to it being a "matter for future policy."
Claire Stephenson, who brought the claim on behalf of Talk Fracking said:
"The acknowledgement from the Judge, that climate change is a valid concern for campaigners and councils facing fracking planning applications, is a big win."
Rowan Smith, solicitor from Leigh Day said:
"What is clear from this judgement is that the government has to keep climate change science under review when formulating fracking policies in an open and transparent way."
"It is clear that the government has to hold a full review of its policy support for fracking, after a meaningful consultation and properly considering the scientific developments."
The Judge said he will allow Talk Fracking and the government time to consider the implications of the ruling and to make further submissions.
Talk Fracking were represented by David Wolfe QC from Matrix Chambers, Peter Lockley from 11KBW, Jennifer Robinson from Doughty Street Chambers and Rowan Smith from Leigh-Day.
Meanwhile, in the Court of Appeal, three Judges have just finished hearing a case in which Joe Corré from Talk Fracking is challenging a 2017 ruling where fracking company INEOS sought to prevent the right to protest against its fracking operations through applying a draconian injunction to 'persons unknown'.
A judgement in this case is expected to be handed down in May 2019.

How many times have you put something off, only to see someone else launch with your idea, event, product or programme? It happens and often because we didn't take the action needed soon enough.
If you read my blog regularly you know I'm an advocate of planning, focused intentions and to-do lists. However, you can get bogged down by planning and miss an opportunity or worse not get started at all.
This can happen if you're a perfectionist, like everything in order and your ducks in a row as they say. The problem is just like a website or painting the seven bridge it's never finished and can always be improved or need work. Equally, you may be fearful of putting yourself out there and taking that first step, you are not alone.
My message to you today is ... the time is now
I've been told many times by different coaches you sell the course, then you create it. Just typing the sentence sends shivers down my spine BUT I get it. You must go for it, you have the expertise and the skill so there is NOTHING to stop you. If we use the example of a course or coaching programme, you need to have the bare bones and know who your ideal or potential client is BUT otherwise you are good go. How? Why? Because you are an expert already and more than good enough.
Recently I met with a friend who is also a client and she was telling me about her issues in the business relating to GDPR and her mailing list. The same issues that are coming up at networking events, in groups and in general conversation. At this point I could have easily gone home to create a workshop: planned and created it, written the copy to promote it and started work on the slides. Instead, I booked a room, got the bare bones of the course and outcome on paper and told my Facebook group about it. Just like that.
The content will continue to develop right up until the day of the workshop because I will talk to everyone who is interested before they book. But I can't tell you how good it felt to just seize the moment and without a plan dive in ... liberating in fact. Twenty-four hours ago I had no MailChimp Masterclass, today I have three takers booked and paid.
Don't let anything hold you back in achieving your goals
Igorne the inner critic telling you that ' you're not ready or good enough' because you are. Don't wait for it to be perfect, get out there and develop as you go knowing you are the expert. Get started, implement your idea and tell the world.
What are you holding back on? Would a sounding board and confidential space be what you need to get started? If the answer is yes, book a Business Breakthrough Coaching Call with me. There is no charge so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The Tigers (27-7) have advanced to the third round of the WNIT and will host Utah (20-13) at 6 p.m. today at Spanos Center. Coach Lynne Roberts said her team seems fully recovered from missing out on an NCAA Tournament berth because of a loss to Cal Poly in the Big West Tournament final.
"There was definitely a funk that hit, but this group has really bounced back," Roberts said. "It really helps to play at home because that put some wind in our sails."
Pacific won its opening round game 69-65 over Arkansas-Little Rock at home Friday before traveling to Seattle to defeat Washington 85-78 in a second-round contest Sunday. The Utes are another Pac-12 hardened foe that handled Long Beach State (56-49) and San Diego (61-50) to get a shot at the Tigers. The winner will likely host Saint Mary's on Saturday.
Roberts said Utah coach Anthony Levrets likes to slow things down and take advantage of his size down low with 6-foot-4 junior Michelle Plouffe (16.8 points, 8.9 rebounds) and 6-3 junior Taryn Wicicjowski (14.4, 6.8) leading the way.
"They're different than us, and I'm very impressed with their post play because their bigs can do it all," Roberts said. "They like to slow it down, but we're going to try to do what we're good at, which is speed up the tempo."
Sophomore center Kendall Kenyon will have to play a key role for the Tigers, as she's snapped out of a slump after three subpar games in Anaheim to post two double-doubles in the WNIT. The St. Mary's High product said she's made a concerted effort to play harder the past two games and has amassed 14 rebounds in each of the two wins.
"I felt like I wasn't playing my game and bringing the things that I bring," Kenyon said. "Especially rebounding the ball; I've really focused on it."
Pacific's senior captain Kendall Rodriguez posted a career-high 27 points Sunday and said the Tigers are now focused on making the most of the opportunity that has been given to them.
"We know we have the talent and chemistry, so winning the whole thing is in the back of our heads, knowing that we're capable of that," Rodriguez said. "It's still really cool that we're one of the teams still playing at this point."

Hadleigh has a rich history and an uncompromising community spirit. Famous for the ruins of its 13th Century Castle, as depicted by John Constable, Hadleigh was thrust onto the world stage for two days in August 2012 as the host venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games Mountain Biking event at Hadleigh Farm.
Hadleigh as a settlement has been occupied since approx. 500BC. 'Hadleigh' is a Saxon word and means 'a clearing in the heath'. Oaks from the area supplied the repairs of The Tower of London in 1272 and 1275 as most of the land in south-eastern Essex would have been woodland.
Overlooking the Thames Estuary, Hadleigh offers unrivalled opportunities for countryside recreation and wildlife watching. Hadleigh Country Park with magnificent views over the estuary extends over 387 acres and is one of the largest country parks in Essex. The park can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback. Walkers can follow three waymarked trails from Chapel Lane car park, one of which leads to the main viewpoint which has a panorama that stretches from the mouth of the Thames to Canary Wharf. The remains of Hadleigh Castle are close by and can be reached by a short level walk.
Work is currently underway to create new trails and grassland habitats across the park, to construct new visitor facilities and to make additions to the Olympic mountain bike course ready for its opening for public use.
Another attraction well worth visiting is the Salvation Army Hadleigh Farm. It was first established as a colony in 1891 by General Booth who believed every human being should have food and shelter. He published a plan to rescue the destitute from the squalor of London. His vision was that the poor would be given board and lodgings in a City Colony in exchange for a day's work. They could then move to a Farm Colony where they would be trained to work the land and run their own smallholdings. Today the farm is a commercial farm, a place of natural beauty, committed to environmental and social progress, and home to an English Heritage site.

A seasoned traveler's experience with technology, cheese platters, and a surly figure known only as "The Artisan."
By Stanis Smith
In an effort to shake up the generally mediocre food offerings at airports, a company named OTG has introduced a concept that you may have seen popping up in certain North American terminals.
The eye-candies (iCandies?) central to the concept are iPads sitting on work surfaces, irresistibly tempting you to surf for free, but mainly intended to entice you to order food delivered to your seat. (Well, not that irresistibly, if the last person smeared their greasy fingers all over the glass, but I digress.)
The concept of ordering food in an airport, with or without iPads, only works if you're not rushing to catch a flight. The iPad interface has been cleverly designed to minimize stress by asking you for your flight number and then displaying your departure gate and boarding time. It would be even better if it told you how long it will take you to get to your gate (in my case it was a ten-minute sprint; more about that later).
Because I had less than an hour to spare, I ordered food that I assumed wouldn't require lengthy hot prep: gazpacho and an artisanal cheese platter. (Have you noticed how everything is "Artisanal" these days? But I digress again). I was impressed that these two items showed up on the menu, given that typical airport food consists of a limp, day-old, mystery-meat sandwich sitting in a condensation-fogged plastic container.
The ordering process was smooth and I couldn't help noticing how the software slyly invited me to pair an overpriced glass of wine to go with my overpriced meal. I resisted with difficulty. At the end of the transaction, I swiped my credit card, and the program offered to email me a receipt. A crafty trick, maybe even an artisanal one. I reluctantly gave it my email address, knowing that for the rest of my life I will be receiving targeted junk mail about package tours to Spain (gazpacho) and defibrillators (artisanal cheese).
And then I waited. They now had both my money and my email address while I had no food and a flight to catch, so the balance of power was definitely in their direction. I pushed the Attendant button on the iPad. A surly individual approached me wearing something that looked like a heart rate monitor strapped to his arm. Was he The Artisan, I wondered? He assured me that my order was on its way.
Twenty-five minutes later, The Artisan delivered my meal, by which stage I was the one needing the heart rate monitor, particularly because the soup arrived without a spoon. No way to get an iPad to solve that problem… yet. Wireless 3D printers?
I have to concede that the iPad restaurant's food quality was well above normal airport fare. The gazpacho was fresh and tasty, the interesting cheeses were creatively paired with condiments such as honeycomb, walnuts in maple syrup, and chutney, all nicely presented. Unfortunately, by this stage my main preoccupation was getting to my gate in time, so I wolfed down the expensive meal (US$27.09 without wine) and sprinted to catch my flight.
For innovative use of technology that aims to deliver food to your seat, OTG's iPad restaurant definitely gets high marks. Likewise, the quality and creativity of the food is better than most airport offerings. Just make sure you have plenty of time, a thick wallet, and don't expect much in the way of service from The Artisan.

David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel's Research on Optical Development in Kittens
During 1964, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel studied the short and long term effects of depriving kittens of vision in one eye. In their experiments, Wiesel and Hubel used kittens as models for human children. Hubel and Wiesel researched whether the impairment of vision in one eye could be repaired or not and whether such impairments would impact vision later on in life. The researchers sewed one eye of a kitten shut for varying periods of time.

Roger Sperry's Split Brain Experiments (1959–1968)
In the 1950s and 1960s, Roger Sperry performed experiments on cats, monkeys, and humans to study functional differences between the two hemispheres of the brain in the United States. To do so he studied the corpus callosum, which is a large bundle of neurons that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Sperry severed the corpus callosum in cats and monkeys to study the function of each side of the brain. He found that if hemispheres were not connected, they functioned independently of one another, which he called a split-brain.

Mitochondrial Diseases in Humans
Mitochondrial diseases in humans result when the small organelles called mitochondria, which exist in all human cells, fail to function normally. The mitochondria contain their own mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) separate from the cell's nuclear DNA (nDNA). The main function of mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell. They also function in a diverse set of mechanisms such as calcium hemostasis, cell signaling, regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis), and biosynthesis of heme proteins that carry oxygen.

Ectoderm is one of three germ layers--groups of cells that coalesce early during the embryonic life of all animals except maybe sponges, and from which organs and tissues form. As an embryo develops, a single fertilized cell progresses through multiple rounds of cell division. Eventually, the clump of cells goes through a stage called gastrulation, during which the embryo reorganizes itself into the three germ layers: endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. After gastrulation, the embryo goes through a process called neurulation, which starts the development of nervous system.

Eric Wieschaus (1947- )
Eric Wieschaus studied how genes cause fruit fly larvae to develop in the US and Europe during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, Wieschaus and colleague Christiane Nusslein-Volhard described genes and gene products that help form the fruit fly body plan and establish the larval segments during embryogenesis. This work earned Wieschaus and Nüsslein-Volhard the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Neural Crest
Early in the process of development, vertebrate embryos develop a fold on the neural plate where the neural and epidermal ectoderms meet, called the neural crest. The neural crest produces neural crest cells (NCCs), which become multiple different cell types and contribute to tissues and organs as an embryo develops. A few of the organs and tissues include peripheral and enteric (gastrointestinal) neurons and glia, pigment cells, cartilage and bone of the cranium and face, and smooth muscle.

Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977), by Stephen Jay Gould
Ontogeny and Phylogeny is a book published in 1977, in which the author Stephen J. Gould, who worked in the US, tells a history of the theory of recapitulation. A theory of recapitulation aims to explain the relationship between the embryonic development of an organism (ontogeny) and the evolution of that organism's species (phylogeny). Although there are several variations of recapitulationist theories, most claim that during embryonic development an organism repeats the adult stages of organisms from those species in it's evolutionary history.

Methylmercury and Human Embryonic Development
Methylmercury (MeHg) is an organic form of mercury that can damage the developing brains of human fetuses. Women who consume methylmercury during pregnancy can bear children who have neurological issues because methylmercury has toxic effects on the nervous system during embryonic development. During the third week of gestation, the human nervous system begins to form in the embryo. During this gestational period, the embryo's nervous system is particularly susceptible to the influence of neurotoxins like methylmercury that can result in abnormalities.

Update: Ethiopia's government now estimates they planted 353 million trees in a single day, according to CBS.
Ethiopians set a new world record by planting over 200 million trees in a single day on Monday.
The achievement came after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed pushed a tree-planting initiative that he hopes will repair the damage done by climate change and deforesting across Ethiopia. A state broadcasting network in Ethiopia says 224 million trees were planted.
"Today Ethiopia is set in our attempt to break the world record together for a green legacy," Ahmed's office tweeted
The daily record is part of a larger goal for Ethiopia: to plant 4 billion trees by October of this year. So far, government officials say they are just shy of 3 billion and that trees have been planted across the entire country, The Washington Post reported.
Massive efforts by the government and its citizens in Ethiopia were spurned by a huge decline in forestation across the country. In the early 1900s, about 30 percent of Ethiopia was covered in trees, according to the forest management organization Farm Africa. Now, that number is down to four percent. Officials hope the huge tree-planting push will turn things around.

Lady is our 3 year old cocker spaniel. When we first saw her, she was hiding under a chair, while her brother ate her lunch. When she was offered to us, we were so excited to bring her home.
She was always nervous when it came time to eat, as she thought someone else might take it. Thank goodness after about a year, she became comfortable eating.
Lady looks just like "lady" in the "Lady and the Tramp" movie. She is just as sweet and charming as any dog can be.
When we noticed the lump on her side, we never thought it could be serious. When the vet said it was cancer and that she had never seen a lump so big, we became worried. I looked up cancer hospitals near Sacramento and found the UC Davis Center. They were so wonderful to see Lady right away.
We were worried during surgery, but they confirmed that the lump did not spread and that they got the margins they were looking for.
She was so happy to come home and we just got her stitches removed today. She is back to new. We are so very thankful to Canine Cancer Awareness for being there for us and Lady.
Thank You for your kind donation and your quick answer. You saved Lady's life.
CCA has allocated $500 to help pay the costs of Lady's treatments. Please help Lady fight this disease. Any sponsor donations made on behalf of Lady will be used to pay unpaid invoices and the checks will be sent directly to Lady's vet.

Global media tablet sales soared in Q3 2010: IDC
Company predicts 17 million units will have shipped during 2010
The global media tablet market took off in the third quarter 2010, increasing 45.1%, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). This surge in sales was almost exclusively attributed to Apple's iPad.
IDC's new Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and e-Reader Tracker, showed that vendors shipped 4.8 million units globally in 3Q10, compared to 3.3 million units in the second quarter of 2010. Apple's iPad represented nearly 90% of the media tablets shipped worldwide in 3Q10 with nearly 4.2 million units shipped in 3Q10 and an 87.4% share worldwide.
"The media tablet market's rapid evolution will continue to accelerate in 4Q10 and beyond with new product and service introductions, channel expansion, price competition and experimentation with new use cases among consumers and enterprises," said Susan Kevorkian, research director, Mobile Connected Devices.
It is not only tablets that are increasing in popularity; e-readers are also rapidly growing in popularity globally. e-reader shipments increased to 2.7 million units in Q3 2010, an increase of 40% over Q2 2010. The US represents almost three-quarters of the global e-reader market.
The IDC has predicted that the media tablet market will end 2010 with 17 million units shipped, with the US purchasing approximately 40% of the total. The company has also predicted that 44.5 million media tablet devices will ship in 2011 and 70.8 million in 2012.
IDC says that growth in 2011 and beyond will be spurred by new media tablets based on Android and other operating systems and well as price and features.
Several new products new products from high-profile device vendors, including Motorola's Xoom, based on Android 3.0 and RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook based on BlackBerry Tablet OS will be hitting the market.
The company says media tablets will be popular across both the consumer and business sector.
For the e-reader market, IDC expects shipments at the end of 2010 to reach 10.8 million units shipped globally, with the US representing 72.4% of global shipments.
The company has forecast 14.7 million units to ship in 2011 and 16.6 million in 2012. They say future demand will be driven by competitive pricing, the introduction of colour displays and with demand driven by price competition among e-paper-based device vendors, and the expansion of digital book and periodical content offerings across genres and languages.

Pandigital, which has a US focus, came in second, just beating Barnes and Noble, which ships exclusively in the US and came in a close third.

Is Colorado becoming a safer place for motorcyclists? Well, there's good news and bad news when it comes to answering this question. The good news, motorcycle fatalities went down last year. The bad news, they've gone up over the past few years. So, what does that mean for motorcyclists here in our state?
Fighting Motorcycle Fatalities in Colorado
In 2016, 126 motorcyclists died on Colorado roadways. That was the highest number of motorcyclist deaths recorded in our state since officials started keeping track of these statistics. But in 2017, those numbers dropped to 103. This was good news. However, the number of rider deaths had increased for four years before this drop. That means last year's decrease was only a step in the right direction. The real test comes as we tally the numbers for 2018.
As of August 27th, there have been 66 motorcycle-related fatalities in Colorado. That's 17 percent of the total vehicle-related fatalities on our roads. Does it mean these numbers are going down? On July 30th, two motorcyclists died within hours of each other in Aurora. On August 27th, another rider in Colorado Springs succumbed to his injuries. On that same day, a 75-year-old rider involved in a crash on I-70 also passed away. This string of crashes paints a frightening picture.
Authorities are urging riders to be cautious and to brush up on their riding skills by taking a MOST motorcycle safety course. They are also urging drivers to stay vigilant for riders. Collisions with motor vehicles account for most major motorcycle crashes. They can be caused by distracted driving, inattention or just plain carelessness, so drivers need to be extra cautious.
For more information about protecting motorcycle riders, keep following the motorcycling attorneys at Metier Law Firm. We know how to help motorcyclists because we ride too.

Former government deputy CIO Liam Maxwell has been appointed as the government's Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
In his cross-Whitehall role as CTO, Maxwell will support a network of Digital Leaders created by the Government Digital Service (GDS), as well as CTOs within each respective government department. He will be tasked with identifying technologies required to modernise the delivery of digital public services.
This IT Reform Group will become part of the GDS framework, with Maxwell reporting to GDS Executive Director Mike Bracken.
Maxwell has been a key proponent in G-Cloud plans, aiming to open up the procurement process for smaller suppliers. He has also indicated that the use of new technologies, such as Hadoop software, could be vital in moving away from the large contracts that have been awarded to suppliers in the past.
Government Chief Operating Officer Stephen Kelly commented: "I am delighted to announce the appointment of Liam Maxwell as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for HM Government."
He added: "Each department already has its own CTO or someone approximating to that role. Working together, Liam, Government CIO Andy Nelson, the CTOs and Digital Leaders will form a powerful combination to achieve the transition to Digital by Default."
Maxwell was appointed as deputy CIO in April of this year, taking over from the outgoing Bill McCluggage. He had previously been employed as director of ICT futures at the Cabinet Office, having also worked as head of ICT at Eton College.

Jose Quintana (4-7), who was winless in his last four starts, tossed seven innings of one-run ball, giving up six hits and three walks while fanning eight batters to earn the win.
Steve Pearce homered and Adam Jones contributed two hits for Baltimore, which had its three-game win streak come to an end.
O's starter Miguel Gonzalez (4-5) conceded three runs on nine hits with three walks across five frames in defeat.

|A female bushtit asks me what I think I'm doing.
Ducks, gulls, terns, grebes,shorebirds, warblers, sparrows—all the groups that seem to bedevil birders—were everywhere. As someone who loves to puzzle out mysteries, it was heaven for me. I understood why California birders are legendary for their identification chops. They're always looking straight into the light at backlit masses of shorebirds and gulls on shining mud flats. They develop superpowers we mortals from the flyover states can only dream of. Well. There are things we are good at, too. Sheet desserts. Casseroles with cream of mushroom soup.

I had no idea from what memory bank I had dredged the name. I just knew that's what they were. Again, I spoke, describing the picture that had sprung into my head.

Introduction: How to Play Mancala
Hi everyone I just recently got a new Mancala board and pieces. Then I saw the how to play Challenge and I thought "great I will show people how to play Mancala" So here I am. Mancala is a fun classic game & I hope you enjoy this instructable, and the game
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: What You Need
To Play Mancala what you need is a Mancala board and the 48 stones that come with it. I got mine from Walmart.com The one I got is fancy it folds up! Awesome!
Step 2: Set It Up
To set it up put 4 Stones in each circuler hole. And now you are ready to begin.
Step 3: The Rules Part 1
Mancala is a game for 2 players.
To start pick a player to go first, Then that person takes all of the stones out of one of his (or her) holes and places a stone in each of the holes after that (going to the right) until you run out of stones. if your last stone lands in the big hole at the end of the board (the mancala hole) then you get to go again Yay!
Step 4: The Rules Part 2
If you can get your last stone to land in a empty hole (that on the other side parallel there is at least 1 stone) you get both the last stone you placed, And all the ones in the parallel hole. this works on both sides. Also you can not touch the stones to count how many are in a hole (if you do on your turn you have to use those stones if you want to or not) The game ends when one side of the board has no more stones. To find out who wins take all the stones out of the mancala holes, and count them whoever has the most stones wins.
Step 5: Thats All Folks
Thats it I hope you enjoyed this instructable, it was easy to follow, And it helped you out. Don't forget to vote

Generous Banks Mining Grant Provides New Roof For Parish Hall
Thursday, December 18th, 2014
Members of a West Lothian Social Care Group have replaced their old roof with the help of a generous grant of £5,500 awarded from the Banks Community Fund.
The roof of the Parish Hall at St John the Baptists Church in Fauldhouse had deteriorated over the years and concerns were raised over its ability to remain watertight.
Now, thanks to the timely donation the entire roof has been replaced, allowing the church to continue its' vital role as a hub for the community.
The Banks Rusha Community Fund is a fund set up by Banks Mining, the family-owned mining, business to support community groups and voluntary organisations and environmental projects in the vicinity of Banks' Rusha surface mine south of Breich, West Lothian.
Parishioners are delighted with the backing from Banks Mining, which they say will benefit the entire community due to the hall being used as a hub by the over 50s Group, Church Gospel Choir, pupils from St Kentigern's Academy and Senior Citizens Bingo.
Project manager Robert Ovens said: "The Parish Hall was built approximately 45 years ago so naturally the roof was showing serious signs of wear.
"The grant has made a huge difference in ensuring the exterior and interior of the building is protected and that damage does not occur.
"The Parish Hall is part of the Church and is a real hub for the community. We host children's birthday parties, weddings and the space is also used as a Polling Station.
"It really is essential to the local community and we are delighted with the help and support we received from Banks."
The Social Care Group is made up of 12 church members who volunteer their free time to take responsibility for the maintenance and fabric of the building.
The Parish Hall provides affordable facilities in an area where there are few community amenities and high unemployment.
Mark Dowdall, environment and community director at the Banks Group, said: "We're delighted to help the Social Care Group with the grant to replace the roof. It's very obvious that the hall is not just used by the group but by the entire community.
"We aim to deliver long term positive benefits to the local communities that host our developments and in this part of West Lothian we are pleased to have supported improving facilities to promote a better quality of community life."
The Banks Community Fund was established to support community groups and voluntary organisations in the vicinity of the Banks Group's developments, ensuring that local communities share the benefits from Banks presence in the area.
Banks has permission to undertake operations at Rusha for a seven-year period. Once coaling is complete the 154-hectare site will be fully restored and landscaped to a mixture of woodland and agriculture.
The company estimates that the Rusha site will contribute more than £5 million to the local economy every year through wages and other supply chain contributions. In addition to the 44 people employed on site, it will also support a number of other off-site jobs in related transport and supplies activity.

Ever since the Sugar Bowl there has been rampant discussion about changes to the ND coaching staff. One could not look anywhere on message boards and blogs without sorting through a wide array of rumors on what those changes might entail. The Subway Domer was going to defer any talk of a change until an official word was released by the University of Notre Dame. That however does not seem to have happened as fast as we would of all liked. So in light of the situation, I will now concede to the rumors and take into consideration that the new recruits are even talking about the change openly, and state that Corwin Brown is going to be the new Defensive Coordinator and Ron Powlus will become the new QB coach.
Corwin Brown, come on down! Welcome to the Notre Dame family. You are next in line for what seems to be the toughest job in DI-A.
Here are a few tidbits about Mr. Brown
- Played for Michigan. This alone is cause for concern when you look no farther… a Skunkbear- what the hell. Read further.
- He was a hard hitting player in NFL and was named in the top 5 for toughest players to play for Bill Parcells by Parcells himself. Go on my son.
- Hates USC. He has got to hate them, right? Right! The reasons for this is simple: First he was cut by then Patriots HC Pete da poodle Carroll, Next he destroyed Keyshon Johnson and was close to decapitating him, and finally he just watched his Alma Mata get crushed by the poodle and SC.
- Has the most familiarity as a coach with using a 3-4 defense. He might need Trevor Laws to beef up some more for this to work this year and do the same with our other DTs.
- He has some college coaching experience with Virgina as a special teams coach.
- He was the DB coach for the Jets through 2 administrations. Edwards and Mangini.
Notice that Brown has never been a DC in college or the pros. There have been a few rumblings around the net about that fact. Now notice that Weis was never was a HC in college or the pros. I think that is working out. By the way, do not worry about the Michigan factor. Once you are a Parcells/Belicheck/Weis guy, that is where your loyalty stays…for LIFE. ( Except for Mangini who might think of Bill B. as a dick and vica versa)
Yes he can! And now it will be in more ways than just playing quarterback and setting school records.
Ron Powlus looks to be the next Quarterback Coach, taking over for Peter Vass. This in essence may be just as critical a move as canning Rick Minter. There are 4 QBs in the stable now that All Universe high school stud Jimmy Clausen enrolled this week. Ron is a true Son of ND. Weis will need his help in evaluating the foursome (Sharpley, Jones, Frazer, and Clausen) and his tutelage will be vital in the progression of any of them. Plus is goes without saying really that Powlus will play a vital role with Clausen and the way in which Jimmy deals with the pressure of the hype that surrounds himself. Also it can not be understated that Ron will play a key part in recruiting. This is a great guy who undeservedly got hammered by the media AND fans alike. He could have a very long coaching career ahead of him with our beloved Irish.
