Arch Coal, the United States' second largest coal supplier, on Monday filed for bankruptcy, signaling what environmentalists described as the "end of an era" as the country moves to more renewable, less polluting energy sources.
"Arch Coal's bankruptcy is the latest sign of a profound shift in America's energy landscape," said Mary Anne Hitt, director of Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign.
Bloomberg reports: "The court filing listed $5.8 billion in assets and $6.5 billion in debt. The company has agreed to the terms of a $275 million loan to keep it operating during bankruptcy. The loan includes a $75 million carve-out for environmental reclamation obligations, according to court papers."
The announcement, which comes after five years of decline in Arch's stock price, marks the latest coal industry titan to fall as the global energy market is beginning to catch up with more climate-friendly regulations and demand.
Indeed, in a filing accompanying the Chapter 11 petition, Arch chief financial officer John Drexler took aim at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's emissions regulations, writing: "Over the past several years, a confluence of economic challenges and regulatory hurdles has hobbled the coal industry."
A recent report by the London-based Carbon Tracker Initiative found that the slump in coal prices has forced more than two dozen U.S. coal companies into bankruptcy over the past three years.
"With one-third of the nation's coal plants slated for retirement, due to grassroots advocacy and increased competition from renewable energy, the coal industry's prospects are fading," Hitt continued. "The bankruptcy of America's second largest coal company, which comes on the heels of an historic, universal climate agreement in Paris, is a clear signal that coal is a fuel of the past, and that America's future will be powered by clean energy that doesn't harm public health or our climate."
The company, which is based in Creve Coeur, Missouri, maintains holdings across the U.S., including in Appalachia and Wyoming's Powder River Basin, where Arch's Black Thunder mine, the country's second largest, is located.
The Sierra Club said the filing "significantly reduces the likelihood that several Arch Coal projects across Montana and Washington State will move forward, including the Otter Creek mine and Tongue River Railroad in Montana, as well as the proposed Millennium Bulk Terminals coal export terminal in Longview, Washington."
Ross Macfarlane, senior advisor with the Seattle-based Climate Solutions, celebrated this development, saying: "Arch's bankruptcy is the final nail in the coffin for the Millennium coal terminal in Longview, Washington, as well as the company's fading dreams to make itself into a major player exporting Montana coal to Asian markets."

Wet Planet, Columbia Center for the Arts and Kayak Shed to host the Teva Reel Paddling Film Fest!
By Amber Marra
It's a beautiful thing when paddling of all types from all corners of the globe can be seen and celebrated in one concentrated area during one awesome event.
Picture it, one minute you're sea kayaking 1,000 miles around the South American island of Tierra del Fuego, the next you're following whitewater kayakers over the edge of a raging waterfall.
It can all be found at the Teva Reel Paddling Film Festival, and lucky for you it's coming to Hood River's Columbia Center for the Arts on June 28 and 29. The festival visits 100s of cities all over the world and we at Wet Planet, along with the Columbia Center for the Arts and the Kayak Shed, thought it was too cool to pass up. And since we have such a passionate whitewater community here, we just might make it an annual event!
The Reel Paddling Film Festival travels across the US, Canada and, well, the world, showcasing more than 20 award-winning films in categories like "Best Adventure Travel Film" and "Best Whitewater Paddling Film."
But it's not all kayaking, not by a long shot.
In addition to the waterfall plunges you'll witness in Andy Maser's Huck (Best Whitewater Paddling Film) you can also catch Robert Perkins' Blind Bird Singing Rain (Best Canoeing Film) in which Perkins canoes 500 miles down the lower Colorado River to Mexico. There's also Jim Brewer and Peter Trow's Driftwood (Best Stand Up Paddling Film) detailing stand-up paddling adventures in remote and scenic parts of the world.
Yes, there will be something for everyone at the Teva Reel Paddling Film Festival, including award-winning instructional films, documentaries, environmental films, and much, much more.
But you don't have to take our word for it, check out the Teva Reel Paddling Film Festival website to see all of the sweet films coming to Hood River! Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here.
Proceeds will not only make it possible to host this event, it will also help support the upcoming White Salmon RiverFest & Symposium which will take place on Wednesday July 10th – with a very solid and exciting program of events for all, all day long.
Thank you Catherine Butler at Columbia Center for the Arts, and John Hart at the Kayak Shed for helping us put this together. We love our awesome whitewater community here in the gorge, and to see y'all at the cool events we have coming up soon!
Amber Marra is a bogger and reservations gal at Wet Planet.

Sorcery, Magic, Magick, Witchcraft…whatever you want to call it.
I want this to be easy enough to use that it will be workable, I want it to be vague enough, where you can tell me what you want it to do. As listed, most of the magic paradigms below cost 15 or 20 pts.
1. Personal magic (hedge magic). Works where magic does.
2. Sorcery, per the book, with lynchpins, very powerful.
3. Faerie Magic - Rainbow Pool (Illusions)
4. Ritual magic, including Witchcraft, Voodoo…takes a lot of time and usually requires something from the target, blood or some other investiture.
5. Personal mentalist powers. Works almost everywhere. Uses your END.
6. True non-magical psionics. Works wherever psionics works. Uses END, can include TK, Telepathy, Precog, etc.
7. Mental Powers…the Clouding of Men's Mind, Rainbow Pool projected into minds, basic Psyche Block. Uses END.
8. Magickal mind control, telepathy, mental surgery for the mentally afflicted, precognition. More magical.
9. Channeling. Opens channels to magic sources. Not as reliable as Personal magic or mentalist, but can be more dangerous.
10. Channeling, per the book.
11. Other planar. You draw energy from other planar sources. Takes more time, but can harness extensive amounts of energy. (Think of a spikard.)
12. Magickal Channeling. You contact a deity, usually requires physical investiture or sacrifice. Very dangerous. (Think of Cthulhu)
Back to centerpowers
Pattern magic no longer exists as a power. It is now automatic. With the "correction" of the Pattern by the Council, Astrid, Bert and the Ghost of Fiona, all Amberites with 50 point Pattern (or better) will now be able to simply hang their spells either on an object (as before) or on the Pattern. Also, the Pattern will take the place of the 'Magic of Shadow' lynchpin, meaning that mages are no longer required to change lynchpins, or more importantly, no longer required to pay the extra points for this ability. Any character who had that had the points refunded.

Jeremiah 1 World English Bible (WEB)
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. 2 Yahweh's[a] word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 4 Now Yahweh's word came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord[b] Yahweh! Behold,[c] I don't know how to speak; for I am a child."
7 But Yahweh said to me, "Don't say, 'I am a child;' for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you. 8 Don't be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you," says Yahweh.
9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
11 Moreover Yahweh's word came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?"
I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
12 Then Yahweh said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
13 Yahweh's word came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?"
I said, "I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north."
14 Then Yahweh said to me, "Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says Yahweh.
"They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
17 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don't be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them. 18 For, behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you", says Yahweh, "to rescue you."

Is the Calloway Software Scam?
The Calloway Software is Scam? After observing and weaving through the website in great depth we could not find any evidences of any fake millionaire guarantee promises, limited spots or biased pre-scripted actor testimonials. Many software's that have proven to be scam follow that the same road and promises worlds riches without any substance to prove to the contrary. The calloway software in contrast does not offer any of these empty promises, it only provides guidance . How one uses that information will be down to the individual rather than the developers and brokers behind the software.
The Calloway Software System – "MARKET SIGNALS"
One the most great updates which The Calloway Software application just experienced needs to do with this new market signals segment. Truly, it has just been around 3 weeks since this mechanized crypto exchanging powerhouse was discharged, however these folks have just included new and super helpful highlights to the blend. Point of fact, outstanding amongst other new highlights is this market signals segment.
This market signals area is a fresh out of the box new component, one that is really separate from the principle exchanging stage. To get to this component, simply go to the fundamental stage. There has been a "market signals" tab added to the side, where you see your dashboard and other such tabs. Here you will see different cash pairings. Presently, these are not crypto sets, simply typical cash sets. In any case, it works the same as the typical The Calloway Software crypto exchanging capacity. These are the most unstable cash pairings around, the ones which remain to make you the most astounding benefits when you put a put or call exchange. People, it's tied in with profiting.
The Calloway Software application extremely just ventured up its diversion. From what we can tell, as far as Forex and CFD exchanging, this is by a wide margin the most solid, exact, and gainful approach to do it.
The Calloway Software
Try not to stress people, this new segment is still simple to utilize and to execute exchanges with. You truly don't need to know everything that much keeping in mind the end goal to profit here, as all that you requirement for progress is pretty much spoon nourished to you. It truly does not get any less demanding to profit than this.
Something else to note here is that despite everything you get a similar security measures as you have with ordinary crypto match exchanging. You get the stop misfortune and take benefit levels to guard you. The stop misfortune level here is set at half and the take benefit level at 100%. In any case, these are the base settings and you can change the levels to suit your own particular needs and wanted hazard level. At any rate, with regards to stage highlights of The Calloway Software, this new market signals include is without a doubt extraordinary compared to other advancements.
The Calloway Software Program – "Duplicate TRADES" Feature
Another new component which The Calloway Software application has added to its weapons store is the duplicate exchanges include. This is an element that was absent here at first. Duplicating exchanges is something which a few other computerized crypto dealers before this one have endeavored, yet it never worked out too well, as of not long ago that is. The Calloway Software framework has now added this duplicate exchanges capacity to its arms stockpile, and it really works great we should state.
Here you will see a determination of conceivable exchanges you can put, ones that have earned others high benefits. Basically duplicate the exchanges to add them to your own vacant positions. It's an extraordinary path for you to profit, particularly on the off chance that you have very little involvement with crypto exchanging. As we would like to think, this duplicate exchanges work is better with The Calloway Software application than it has ever been with some other autotrader.
The Calloway Software App – UPDATED "Certainty FACTOR"
One of alternate things that should be said here is that The Calloway Software Autotrader has refreshed its certainty factor. There isn't much to state here with the exception of that The Calloway Software has updated and changed its calculations which work to show you the certainty factor.
It is currently more precise and solid than any other time in recent memory. On the off chance that this application reveals to you that a specific matching has a 70% certainty factor, well, at that point there is a correct 70% shot that it will be won. It is imperative that this element is extremely solid, so we are happy that these folks have done a few updates.
The Calloway Software App – Brokers
People, we continue accepting objections from individuals about the merchants associated with The Calloway Software framework. Presently, the grumblings are not in reality about the merchants themselves. As we have demonstrated over and over, the majority of the dealers related with this autotrader are 100% genuine. There is no issue here. The issue which individuals have been encountering, or they suspect as much at any rate, is that they can't pick their own representative to associate.
Indeed, this is valid, you can't choose your own intermediary. This is anything but a decision which you are given. Truth be told, there is no crypto autotrader out there which enables you to pick your own intermediary. This is simply not how it functions. When you agree to accept a The Calloway Software exchanging account, you are naturally doled out an agent. This can't be changed or chosen. It's simply the manner in which it is. In any case, for you folks that still truly don't care for the particular intermediary you have been allocated, there is a little proviso you can use to transform it.
Presently, you can't change your doled out representative from inside your present record. In any case, you can agree to accept a shiny new The Calloway Software exchanging record and you ought to be alloted another and distinctive dealer. The trap here is that you have to agree to accept another The Calloway Software account with another email address. The email deliver should be not quite the same as the one you used to agree to accept the principal account. This will guarantee that you are doled out another intermediary.
The Calloway Software Features – Conclusion
Rendering financial specialists with the last say concerning whether they wish to put exchanging signals created by the Calloway Software or not.Among the technical indicators that are applicable with the Calloway Software would be the Stochastics, Moving Averages and Relative Strength Index.Dependent upon market conditions will dictate which technical indicators are employed with specific trading approaches such as Hedging, Risk Reversal, Price Action (Support), Price Action (Resistance) and the powerful Triangle Trading Approach.
Toward the day's end, we are super satisfied with the updates which The Calloway Software has experienced. The recently included highlights, for example, replicating exchanges and the market signals area are both choice. They both include significantly greater adaptability and assortment to the blend, which is obviously stupendous. At any rate, The Calloway Software is presently the main instrument worldwide for cryptographic money and fiat cash exchanging, so try it out!
The Calloway Software – Final Thoughts & Summary
The Calloway Software application has served us exceptionally well up until this point. On the off chance that you didn't definitely know, this is the world's best digital currency exchanging application at the present time. It additionally takes into consideration stock exchanging, fiat money exchanging, and CFD exchanging too. As far as being an inside and out internet exchanging powerhouse, you just can't beat The Calloway Software autotrader. It has figured out how to furnish us with ITM rates consistently.
Likewise, with regards to the ROI on our ventures, benefits as a rule sit at around half to 75% ROI.

Holmes Report 17 Feb 2013 // 12:00AM GMT
Just 4 percent of all Americans aged 15 to 25 thinks that a brand page on Facebook is a credible source of information about the product, suggesting that such pages are no more credible to youngsters than advertising or than what a competitor would say about the brand.
According to Joeri Van den Bergh, Gen Y expert at InSites Consulting, which produced the survey, this finding is "mainly a good indication of the fact that this Generation Y is very much aware of a company's marketing strategy. As youngsters attach a lot of importance to the opinion of their friends and of other users of a product or brand, companies should let those groups do the talking.
"When brands really use their social media socially by allowing feedback and conversations by regular consumers on their pages rather than by filling them themselves, that's when they really become decent and useful marketing instruments. It is the only medium which allows open dialogue at no great expense."
He says that many companies are using their Facebook pages too commercially. "But that's not how it's done. It's all about creating compelling content together; stuff that is worth sharing in conversations with your friends."
According to the research, 22 percent of US youngsters indicate that what regular consumers write on online forums and blogs is credible, as is what they are told by their friends about a brand or product (14 percent) and the opinion of other brand users (20 percent).

Eunich Wingman
Author's note: This is the first official re-write of the Wingman series. Originally written in 2012, this particular piece is the only one that will be a simple re-write of an episode from the first set. Due to Wingman now being part of the Infinite Monkey universe, the overall story arc will change significantly from the earlier set. "Are you cross?" Cross allowed a slight glare. "That was not funny the first time you used it." Prince Steffan laughed and slapped his shoulder. "Yes, I need new jokes, Cross. This is for certain. Perhaps I should order you to write them for me." Standing at attention, Cross held his mouth shut. The fear that Steffan might command him to write jokes was real. He placed his helm on the hook and began [Read more...]

Buying a home will most likely be the biggest financial decision you will ever make and there are several factors to consider when determining what you can actually afford.
Start with your budget. Many people are willing to make month-to-month sacrifices in order to purchase their first home, but they don't necessarily consider all the built-in costs associated with homeownership. The four primary monthly costs to a home purchase are (1) the mortgage payment, (2) homeowner's association dues, where applicable, (3) escrowed property taxes and (4) homeowner's insurance. But these are not the only costs. You will likely need to apportion additional monthly dollars for costs you didn't have as a renter: home upgrades, appliance needs, home repairs and general care and maintenance. It's important that you make sure to estimate these costs and what you can afford first, so you don't find yourself falling in love with neighborhoods/homes that are well outside your price range.
The second main financial hurdle is the down payment. For some mortgages, you may need to make a 20% down payment, though there are programs out there where you can pay as little as 10%. Be aware that in many situations where you are paying less than 20% down payment you will also be paying a monthly fee called "mortgage insurance" that will add to your monthly cost of homeownership. You can easily spend another 6% on closing costs, and other expenses that come with moving and buying a home. The combination of the amount you need for down payment, moving and closing costs and the monthly cost you can afford should give you a sense of the cost of a home that is in your budget.
Your next step is the loan approval process. You may find that in many cases a mortgage loan professional may allow you to qualify for a loan that is much larger than your aforementioned budget allows. Don't let that mislead you! You don't want your goal of home ownership to derail your other important goals like saving for retirement, having an emergency fund or saving for a child's education.
Beyond the down payment, you should have 6-9 months of payments in reserves. We rarely see someone move into a new property and not have to update, change, or fix something no matter how nice the property is. Remember, when you own a property you are responsible for the fixes. You also may get a sticker shock if moving from a rental to a house, which may have an inflated electric bill, as well as new bills for water and waste services for example.
Lastly, start shopping! One of the biggest mistakes we see first-time buyers make is falling for properties that will negatively impact their finances for years to come. A home purchase is key, but it is only a portion of your overall financial health and must be considered in context.

Men, husbands, fellas, this one is for you.
At some point you may have had this conversation with your wife as she heads to bed. . .
Her: I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
You: Okay Babe. I'll be in a little bit.
Simple and innocent enough, right?
You lose when you let this happen. Trust me. You lose so much more than you may ever know. What's more, you may be putting yourself, your wife and perhaps even your marriage in jeopardy.
I don't want to sound too much like a prophet of doom here but this seemingly simple decision can be a gateway to trouble down the road. We've got to head things off before they have a chance to begin. Our marriages depend on it.
Here is the thing: as men, we are "fixers". We are great, sometimes too great, at solving current problems for others. In fact, we're made to solve problems. However, seeing and solving our own issues can prove well, problematic. Here are three solid reasons that I learned that support heading off to bed when your wife turns in, no matter how early.
- Sex. I could probably stop my list here, but let's explore this shall we? When you spend more time in the bed with your wife your chances of sex increase dramatically. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's a fact. Let that sink in.
- Less Porn. See also #1. Gents, porn is eating away at our marriages. It tricks you and me. It may seem innocent, but it's not a little thing. No matter what you think about the morality of it, I promise this is a marriage killer. In part it killed mine and according to research, 50% of divorces have porn as a factor. The simple act of going to bed with your wife can change that. Can you honestly say you would rather surf the web than swim under the covers with your bride? Come on man.
- Connect More. Hang time before you nod off to sleep can increase your connection to your partner. My wife and I play Hi/Low, where we share a high and a low from the day. Sometimes we just crash into bed holding hands, sometimes we talk for several minutes. or even pray together for a minute. No matter what, we feel more connected in those last few minutes before we drift away. It's stellar. Try it out and tell me I'm not right. Go on, I dare ya.
There are a lot more reasons to head off to bed at the same time as your wife: get more sleep, wake up earlier, watch less TV, eat less late at night. Did I mention more sex? You get the idea.
Dive right in and do it. That's the best way and you are certain to get her attention. But if you have to slow roll it, maybe you've got a deadline to meet or a work event, at least you're starting. Whatever works, heading to bed at the same time as your wife, every night, is a game changer.

When: 3rd - 4th July, 2020
Where: Sonkajarvi, Finland
Love your wife? Willing to take her to the ends of the Earth? Try this for a start: carry her across 253.5 mt over sand, grass and asphalt. And the place to do it is the town of Sonkajarvi (Finland), during the annual county fair of the town. Other than the usual beer-barrel rolling and strong man competitions, the Sonkajarvi County Fair also features the Wife Carrying Championship- a handy, if somewhat difficult way of proving your ability to support your spouse through thick and thin!
This bizarre contest has its origins in the 19th century, when the area around Sonkajarvi was rife with brigands who indulged in- besides looting- the equally questionable practice of abducting local women. Not too many people are keen on taking on the law by abducting their neighbours' wives any more, but the Sonkajarvi Wife Carrying Championship tries to recreate the heat of the chase- although in this instance the spouse need not necessarily be your own. In fact, she need not even be a married woman; any female over the age of 17 will do.
Contestants are expected to carry the woman, secured to them by nothing more than a belt (if needed), over a 253.5 mt stretch, with various obstacles en route. Dropping your precious load incurs a penalty of 15 seconds, but if you manage to be the first to reach the finish line, you get to take home the grand prize: the weight of the lady in question in beer!

I've been asked many times for some hair tutorials - so here's one, finally! This hairdo is quite easy to make (though it does require some practising to perfect it). It is also very versatile; by changing the size of the hair bun and the hair accessories you wear, you can make it fit lolita, vintage-inspired styles, or just ordinary fashion. You can make it casual or festive, just according to your wishes. As it is Christmas time, you can of course wear this to Christmas parties of all sorts! ;D
I hope you find this tutorial useful - and good luck, everyone, if you try to do this hairdo!
1. You will need:
♥ Lots of poppy pins (20-50 pins, depending on how much you have hair)
♥ Flowers, feathers etc. to decorate the hairdo
♥ 3 bigger hairbands
♥ 2 extra hairbands (to be used during the making process only)
♥ Hairspray and hairbrush, obviously.
2. Brush your hair, if necessary. Part small sections of hair from the front. Tie with hairbands, so they don't get in the way.
3. Part the remaining hair in three sections and tie with the hairbands. At this point it doesn't matter if they are slightly uneven.
4. Wrap each section of hair around your hand as many times as it goes.
5. Pin each of the three sections with a poppy pin. It still doesn't matter if it's uneven, we will fix that later.
6. Take the hairbands away from the two front sections of the hair. Twist the section with your fingers, and loosen it a little bit near your face. You can also make the front sections into loose braids, if you wish.
7. Pin the two front sections of the hair to the back of your head with rose corsages (or some other hair accessories you wish to use).
8. Start working with the rest of the hair. Always stick the poppy pins upwards, hiding them carefully under the rose corsages and locks of hair. Continue to apply poppy pins until you reach the desired shape. This is the point where you want to try and make your hairdo as balanced as possible; here you will correct the earlier unevenness. Remember to apply some hairspray to secure the hairdo, but don't spray too close - at arms length is a good distance.
9. And voilà, you are ready!
All the pictures are taken by Sanni. (Thank you very much for your help, dear!)
Also, the giveaway from previous week closes now. My boyfriend acted as the unbiased assistant and chose the winner randomly:
So the winner is Natsu! Congratulations for the winner, and thank you for everyone who partivipated! Natsu, I will contact you via e-mail. :)

The headlines have been tantalizing: " 'Definite Evidence' of Alien Life within 20-30 Years, NASA Chief Scientist Says" and "NASA: Proof of Alien Life in 20 Years."
When a reputable organization makes these claims, people take notice. What would it mean to our understanding of God, creation, and humanity if life, even in simple forms, exists on other planets? From a scientific point of view, what would constitute enough proof to establish the fact of extraterrestrial life?
Faith and Science in a Skeptical Age can help you answer these questions and give you tools to respond. We offer this free download of chapter 4, which discusses the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and how we as Christians can understand this from a biblical point of view.

Route 29 South in Albemarle County will Close Briefly on Thursday
Tree removal work will require 15-minute closure of southbound lanes
Removal of a damaged tree will require a brief closure of Route 29 southbound on Thursday morning in the North Garden area of Albemarle County.
Approximately one half-mile south of Route 692 (Plank Road), both southbound lanes on Route 29 will be closed for 15 minutes for removal of a large poplar tree damaged by lightning and subsequent decay. The tree, located adjacent to the Route 29 travel lanes as well as high-voltage power lines, has lost much of its structural strength and poses a safety hazard, especially under high winds or ice.
Mid-morning on Thursday, Pittman Tree Company, a contractor for the Virginia Department of Transportation, will drop the tree parallel to the roadway. While work occurs overhead, traffic will be stopped at a safe distance from the work zone, and will resume once the tree is on the ground.
Signage is currently in place on Route 29 to notify motorists of the closure. Motorists should expect delays and be prepared to stop, or use an alternate route.
Real-time road conditions and weather forecasts are available on VDOT's traffic and travel Web site, www.511Virginia.org. The site also has live traffic camera images for many major highways, including Interstate 64, I-66 and Routes 29 and 250 in Central Virginia. Motorists can call 511 from any telephone in Virginia for road and traffic conditions on all major highways in the state.

The Sky Blues are outsiders to beat the Blades and do the double over the Yorkshire side…Coventry City take on Sheffield United tomorrow in a SkyBet League One tie and if you fancy a flutter on the action, then SkyBet has all the odds covered.
The Sky Blues are 9/2 underdogs to beat the Blades and push themselves clear of the relegation zone. The hosts are 8/13 favourites with the draw available at 14/5.
The Yorkshire side have maintained good form since being knocked out of the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup in the Semi-Finals and have a good record on home turf. City have conceded four goals away from home in 2015 and you can get evens for both teams to net tomorrow afternoon.
City have gone into the break drawing only once this calendar year, so the half time/full time odds that involve a draw are ones to steer clear of. For the adventurous a half time Sheffield United/full time Coventry bet will get you a massive 50/1!
In the first goal scorers market Matty Done is the favourite for the Blades. He is 4/1 to notch first, with Michael Higdon 9/2 and Che Adams just behind on 5/1.
For the Sky Blues Dominic Samuel is 10/1 favourite to score the first and his second goal for the club. Luke Williams is 10/1 joint favourite to get his first for the club, with Marcus Tudgay at Simeon Jackson available at 12's.
in what could be a crucial game at both ends of the League One table, I am predicting a fast-paced high scoring game. You do not often see evens available for both teams to score and with that price it is my hot tip for tomorrow's game.
In a new feature, our resident Sky Blues Tipster will be placing a £10 bet on his Hot-tip, as well as £10 to place on his longshot. We will be tracking his profits (or losses!) over the course of the season so you can see where you would be if you followed his tips!
Another close shave but both bets came just short for the Tipster. Can he turn his form around this weekend?
Winnings To date:
Hot Tip: Loss: £32.50
Longshot: Profit: £399.17
Combined Profit: £366.67
HOT TIP - Both teams to score - Evens
Chelsea to beat Burnley - 1/5
Blackburn to beat Blackpool - 1/2
MKDons to beat Peterborough - 4/6
BristolCity to beat Colchester - 10/11
Shrewsbury to beat Tranmere - Evens
£10 to return £114.55 with SkyBet

Yesterday at the Condensed Phase Dynamics meeting in Telluride there we nice talks by Eran Rabani and Todd Martinez highlighting recent advances they have independently made in simulating large systems. Rabani is largely concerned with solid systems such as silicon nanoparticles and Martinez with hundreds of reacting molecules.
Rabani's work with Roi Baer and Daniel Neuhauser is a highly creative and original stochastic approach to doing electronic structure calculations. Instead of explicitly determining wave-functions [or Kohn-Sham orbitals in DFT] they use stochastic wave functions [a random phase is assigned to each point on a spatial grid] and compute one-particle expectation values as averages over the ensemble of stochastic wave-functions.
For Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory they obtain sub-linear scaling of the computational cost with system size, as reported in this PRL. Some of the original problems with the approach [slow converge for systems involving weakly coupled sub-systems, e.g. a pair of buckyballs] are solved with an embedded fragment approach, as described in this recent preprint.
Over the past decade Martinez' group has pioneered the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) [think computer games] for quantum chemistry calculations. The figure below from this recent paper highlights the computational speedup compared to conventional codes and architectures.
One can now do a DFT-based calculation of the energy of about one thousand water molecules in less than one minute. The bottle neck is the cubic scaling of diagonalisation routines.
Todd described recent work "discovering chemical reactions with the nano reactor".
Most quantum chemistry calculations require "knowing the answer" before you begin. i.e, you know the reactants and the products and you make certain guesses as to transition states between them. However, given a set of reactants is it possible to have an automated computational procedure that allows discovery of new products and the mechanisms for their production?
The answer is yes, and this represents a significant advance.
Todd presented dynamical simulations of a set of 100-300 atoms for 1 nanosecond at temperatures of about 1000-1500 K.
This high temperature is used to reduce the effects of non-covalent interactions and allow many reactions to proceed within a nanosecond.
Indeed, one does discover new reactants that one would not just predict based on a knowledge of "freshman" chemistry. Furthermore, one can find the reaction paths.
They have also simulated the famous and controversial Urey-Miller experiment aimed at producing amino acids [the building blocks of proteins] from simple initial reactants [water, methane, ammonia, hydrogen].
The simulation did find glycine is formed, and via three different reaction pathways.

Improve your Keyboarding Skills to Increase Productivity and Save Valuable Time
For students that touch type, more time can be spent on the writing process instead of the mechanics of typing. They will be able to complete assignments more quickly, research, input and communicate effectively and more! With observations and guidance provided by a teacher, students will also learn proper posture and hand position, which will reduce possible painful injuries. Students that can touch type will be more successful in completing and editing assignments, therefore, develop greater self-esteem and confidence.
Bad habits are hard to break and if you currently "hunt and peck", learning to touch type may slow you down a little at the beginning; however, in a short period you will be typing 40 ? 50 wpm or more. At best a "hunt and peck" typist will only be able to reach speeds of 25 wpm.
All the Right Type was designed by keyboarding specialists. The methodology and "learning sequence option" provides learners with the most efficient way to learn to type.
The computer program takes a no nonsense approach to typing and by simply using the program 10 to 15 mins. a day you will see a significant increase in speed. The program has been designed for people that don't currently type as well as for people that would just like to increase their speed. Each person can progress through the program at their own pace and continue where they left off. Immediate feedback is provided after each lesson for error and fingering analysis. Engaging and motivating keyboarding games, animations, certificates and options to customize the program to each user makes All The Right Type a great typing tutor for all ages.
Motivating for studentsAll The Right Type motivates your students to develop their keyboarding
skills. While the focus is always on learning, a space race, fireworks,
space theme puzzles, trophies and printable achievement
certificates that make hard work fun!

POLICE investigating child sexual assaults of British celebrity Jimmy Saville today arrested and questioned comedian Freddie Starr.
The arrest of the well known 69-year-old comedian followed an allegation from a woman who claimed she was molested when as a 14-year-old she appeared on a television program hosted by Savile.
Operation Yewtree which now has identified more than 300 victims of Savile over a more than 40-year period, arrested Starr at his home in Warwickshire.
Starr had publicly denied ever having met alleged victim Karin Ward or any 14-year-old on a Savile program but then admitted he had met her when footage from the 1970s was found showing the pair on stage together. He said he had been wanting to speak with detectives to clear his name.
Starr is the second person to be arrested after former pop star Gary Glitter was arrested then bailed pending further inquiries, over suspicions of a sexual assault some years ago. At least a dozen British celebrities, most linked to the BBC, are expected to be implicated in the Savile scandal which Scotland Yard has described was a ring of child abuse on a national scale with more than 400 lines of inquiry.
Earlier this month Starr said he had never touched an underage girl and said "Don't tar me with the same brush as a scumbag and paedophile (Savile)," he said adding he had only met the 84-year-old, who died last year, twice.
Ms Ward was a student at a special needs school in Surrey where Savile has been accused of preying on young girls, when she was invited back to Savile's dressing room at the BBC studios.
She said Starr had tried to grope her as nearby Glitter was allegedly having sex with a girl and Savile had his hand up a girl's skirt.
"It frightened me and freaked me out," she said last week.
Police would not speak directly about Starr but confirmed an arrest had been made.
"Officers working on Operation Yewtree have this evening, Thursday 1 November, arrested a man in his 60s in connection with the investigation," a spokesman said.
"The man, from Warwickshire, was arrested at approximately 17.45hrs on suspicion of sexual offences, and has been taken into police custody locally."
The spokesman said the arrest falls under the strand of the investigation termed "Savile and others".
Savile's multi-million pound estate has been frozen pending the outcome of the police investigation. At least 40 alleged victims have already given instructions to lawyers.

The scariest things in life....never stay dead. It figures the company licensing these lil suckers is called "Dam Things." They may as well call their CEO ALUCARD and complete the image!! EEEEVIL THINGS.
The Good Luck Trolls became one of America's biggest toy fads in the early 1960s, and again in revivals over the years. In 2003, the Toy Industry Association commemorated them as one of the hundred most creative toys of the twentieth century. History repeats itself like never before in 2012, when Dark Horse Deluxe offers up these beloved and timeless figures in various iterations!
Thanks to a law passed by Congress, the US copyright for the Good Luck Trolls has been restored to its rightful Danish owner. Now Dam Things has licensed to Dark Horse the right to issue the Good Luck Trolls in the ever-popular "mystery box" style assortment, marking the first new troll products in the US in many years. Dark Horse's vice president of Product Development, David Scroggy, notes, "When we considered developing the Good Luck Trolls for the first time, we were confident that they would resonate with our audience of pop-culture fans and modern collectors. We think that they are likely to be embraced by our young-adult consumers."
"Dark Horse has been very successful with the mystery box and we look forward to seeing them include the Good Luck Troll in their program," says Calle Østergaard, CEO of Dam Things in Denmark. This all-new assortment of colorful designs, featuring an array of hair colors and exotic surface treatments from glitter to metallic to flocked, are sure to stun both collectors and casual fans as they make their first appearance at Toy Fair 2012!

I am a senior photographer based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I am all about having fun; my seniors and I listen to music, dance, you name it. I would describe my style as rich and vivid. Baylee is a gorgeous girl and we have so much fun together driving all over; from the beautiful Utah mountain light to a hill over looking the city lights at night.
I strive to make young women feel amazing and to view themselves the way others view them. Girls are so hard on themselves and I hope to help them see the beauty that I see when I take their picture.

Wow! Beautiful! I love everything about this.
Lovely images she will enjoy for ever. Well done.

I'm always intrigued by players who could have been superstars in their era, perhaps Hall of Famers, if not for injury or other circumstance. Warren Jabali was one of those guys. He was a Pacer for one season, an ill-fated experiment that didn't live up to its promise, but he remains one of the most intriguing players in the franchise's history.
(c) 2012, Pacers.com. Reprinted by permission.
Filtered through the numbers on the back page of a media guide, Warren Jabali's lone season with the Indiana Pacers was forgettable. Plagued by physical ailments, he averaged 11 points and 4.8 rebounds over 62 games in 1970-71, and was released at the start of training camp the following season.

The other night, I was having a conversation about a couple of dogs that had attacked my little puppy while he was on leash and the attackers were not. During the course of the conversation, we used words like "fault" and "responsibility," which turned the conversation decidedly philosophical. What is "fault" and "responsibility" as it applies to a dog? One end of the continuum would say that no dog is at fault — only the human (owner) is, because the human is supposed to be the Alpha (dominant ranking) of the pack that includes this dog and, therefore, the human establishes the pack parameters. Apart from a dog having an owner, how does "fault" and "responsibility" shake out, if it can — is it true "no dog is at fault"?
I like philosophical questions, especially for matters that I know will come up time and time again. And while I can't hold a candle to one of my favorite theologians, C.S.Lewis (with particular relevance to his book, "The Problem of Pain"), let the exploring begin!
We've got the following elements all mashed together that we're trying to sort out:
- Nature of dogs.
- Individual dog personalities.
- Human affect on dogs.
- What is an environment.
- Reasoning, free will, and responsibility.

Plac Zamkowy, Warsaw, Poland
If anyone ever tells you that Warsaw—or for that matter, any of Poland's major cities aside from Lodz—is grey, dark, depressing, or ugly—tell them to try visiting it first, because they obviously haven't. Warsaw was mostly destroyed by the Second World War (something like 85% of the city was razed and the population hovered around 1,000)—but it has made a full recovery, at least aesthetically. Rubble became carefully constructed buildings. Plans were carefully executed, mimicking the way it looked before the war. Sadly, this was only done for the Old and New Towns, which became a UNESCO site. "Warszawa 1935," a wonderful film released in 2012, uses the powers of modern technology to generate a 3D film of what Warsaw once looked like (evidently, something like Paris, Vienna and St Petersburg combined). The Soviet Era was not kind to Warsaw, and the city still suffers those scars. But in the centre, these bright, beautiful buildings here—these are its legacy. Due to a combination of colours, patterns, design, and simple Polish resilience, this square has—and will always be—the most beautiful part of Poland's often-overlooked capital.

OECD and Ford Foundation Launch New Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign
[31 March 2016] – Mayors from around the world gathered in New York on Tuesday 29 March for the launch of the OECD and Ford Foundation's Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign. In recognition of the crucial role cities play in making inclusive and equitable growth happen, the campaign will create a global coalition of Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth. The Cities Alliance is a key supporter of the campaign and was represented at the event though the Secretariat and members of its Joint Work Programme (JWP) on Promoting Equitable Economic Growth in Cities.
The new campaign is open to mayors around the world who are advancing more inclusive, equitable cities in a broad range of domains. Together, these Champion Mayors will help deliver on the potential of inclusive growth. Through the campaign's global platform, Mayors will share their voices and perspectives with national governments and other key stakeholders, exchanging concrete solutions to overcome urban inequalities. Champion Mayors will not only continue to fight for more equal, inclusive and productive cities at home; by helping other cities address shared challenges, they will also work together to ensure that their efforts resonate well beyond their city's borders.
The Cities Alliance Secretariat is actively supporting the campaign, mainly through the JWP on Promoting Equitable Economic Growth in Cities. The close collaboration between the Cities Alliance and the Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign is a natural step, as they share common interests and objectives and are linked through the Ford Foundation – a Cities Alliance and JWP member.
Moreover, the potential synergies are substantial. The JWP focuses on supporting equitable access to local public goods and services – recognising both the important role of local governments and city authorities in enabling such delivery – as well as its potential to enhance growth and reduce inequality. While the specific areas and ways of collaboration with the Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign will be further explored, synergies will be sought across the various JWP components, including global knowledge production, policy dialogues, and the production of local-level diagnostics and policy recommendations.
A key feature of the Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign is the Champion Mayors' endorsement of The New York Proposal for Inclusive Cities, a political commitment that will help shape a policy roadmap for inclusive cities to identify both the challenges and potential solutions to reducing inequality in cities.
As the culmination of Tuesday's launch event, the proposal document was signed by 43 Champion Mayors; Angel Gurria, Secretary General of the OECD; Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation; and a number of supporting institutions, including the Cities Alliance. Kick-starting and framing the campaign, the signees committed to "champion an Inclusive Growth agenda in our city, our country and across the world, by promoting policies and practices that foster both economic growth and inclusiveness".
Through support from the Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF) and Ford Foundation, the JWP facilitated the participation of Mayors from Ghana and Uganda at the launch. A second meeting of the campaign will be held in Paris in November 2016.
The Joint Work Programme on Promoting Equitable Economic Growth in Cities
The Cities Alliance is currently in the process of establishing a member-led Joint Work Programme focused on fostering equitable economic growth in cities. The JWP responds to priorities set out in the Cities Alliance Medium Term Strategy and is part of the organisation's commitment to strengthening its partnership approach.

Ebola Virus Workplace Preparedness and Response Best Practices
by Roberta J. Witty | October 17, 2014 | 3 Comments
Note: Gartner does not normally post detailed solutions via its publicly available blogs. After all, we are in business to provide solutions to our clients. However, issues of public safety deserve broad distribution in the public interest. Therefore, occasional exceptions are made to our normal blog policy. This post is one of those exceptions. Further information may be posted later on this topic.
It is time to dust off your pandemic preparedness and response plan in order to prepare your organization for the impact on business operations due to an outbreak of the Ebola virus. Acknowledging that this is a very scary illness, your job is not to incite more fear than already exists. Your job is to develop a sound and thoughtful preparedness and response plan to such an outbreak so that the workforce and customers have confidence that you are in control of the workplace impact and that you can continue business operations. Gartner provides the following best practices to all organizations to help them take appropriate actions.
- Assume a very high fear factor in the workforce. Because of the severity of the symptoms and the very high death rate of the Ebola virus, people will be much more afraid to be in contact with others than they were with the influenza virus, even though the latter is a much more easily contractible illness because it is an airborne-spread virus. According to the CDC, the Ebola virus is not spread through the air.
- Assume an initial very high rate of worker absenteeism in the business location that has had the confirmed Ebola virus infected patient due to the fear of becoming infected themselves.
- Due to the higher than normal absenteeism rate, assume a very quick impact to your business operations, not the rolling kind as with the influenza virus. However, due to the short incubation period of 2 to 21 days, business operations should return to normal rather quickly.
- Assume that your crisis management team will conduct its operations virtually due to the social distancing practices put in place once a confirmed Ebola virus incident has occurred in your business location.
- Shelter-in-place policies do not apply – no worker should be isolated at the work location during the 2-21 day incubation period. And obviously, a worker infected with the Ebola virus should be under medical care.
- Monitor the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/index.html), the WHO (www.who.int) and state and local public health services for Ebola virus medical advice. See the Resources section below for a list of references.
- Contact your local office of emergency management and public health services to understand the protocol they use for notifying employers of an infected worker and for on-going communications and interaction. Questions to ask include: How do we find out that we have a worker with the Ebola virus? How do we handle a worker who is displaying Ebola virus-like symptoms at the workplace? How do we handle communications with our workforce in regards to informing them of an Ebola virus incident at the workplace?
- Review and update your pandemic preparedness and response plan to ensure that the information is up-to-date. Focus on changes in contact information and business operations since the last review and update. Especially important to review are your absenteeism trigger points that indicate when and if you need to shut down operations. Also, review your social distancing procedures to determine how you can reduce face-to-face interactions.
- Review and update your crisis management team and plan to ensure that the information is up-to-date. Determine who will be the primary and secondary crisis commander for your response efforts at each of your business locations.
- Educate the workforce on the basics of the Ebola virus (what it is, how it is spread, the symptoms et al), infection prevention personal hygiene practices and what to do if the worker starts exhibiting Ebola virus symptoms. The WHO has a set of advice for travelers entitled "Template message for travellers" that can be leveraged for your educational messaging. This template is in their document entitled "Travel and transport risk assessment: Interim guidance for public health authorities and the transport sector, September 2014".
In addition, medical experts are emphasizing the need for a flu vaccine this year. Flu symptoms are very similar to the early Ebola virus symptoms, so ensuring you are protected from the flu means that 1) the worker knows that their symptoms are likely not flu-related and therefore obtain immediate medical action, and 2) emergency rooms are not overwhelmed with visits due to more easily preventable illnesses.
- Meet with the cleaning service used for each of your business locations to ensure that they are following strong personal hygiene practices of their workers as well as ensuring they are managing your organization's procedures for supplying and cleaning workspaces and bathrooms. Put on retainer a cleaning service for each of your business locations that are experienced in handling medical hazardous waste if you have an Ebola virus outbreak.
- Procure three to six months' worth of personal hygiene and cleaning supplies to meet the needs of your workforce in each business location.
- Due to the high absenteeism and social distancing procedures that may be put in place, review your work-at-home/telework policy and procedures. Test your VPN capacity for at least 60% of employees working from home.
- Meet with your property management company to know what their procedures are for managing worker and visitor traffic in and out each of your business locations. Ensure your procedures are not in conflict with theirs.
- Talk with your travel department or outside travel agency to update your travel policy and practices and your travel risk management program (e.g. would your organization need to be involved in the evacuation of a worker infected with the Ebola virus from a risky/remote location to a safe/more medically advanced location). Protections that you might put in place include workforce travel restrictions to highly risky locations as well as traveller preparedness and response procedures. Again, refer to the WHO web site dedicated to Ebola-related travel advisories and their document entitled "Travel and transport risk assessment: Interim guidance for public health authorities and the transport sector, September 2014": http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/diseases/ebola.
- Like other pandemics when social distancing and isolation/quarantine policies are in place, data center/command center operations may not be able to be maintained if they depend on people's physical presence. Therefore, remote control management practices should be implemented and tested. This is true also for IT disaster recovery: if physical presence is required, you may not be able to recover during the virus outbreak. All recovery exercises should be rescheduled.
- Meet with your mission-critical suppliers to ensure that they have pandemic preparedness and response and crisis management plans in place. Knowing when and how they will contact your organization of their own Ebola virus outbreak and how that impacts your ability to deliver your products/services is critical to maintaining your business operations and meeting your business obligations.
- Review your HR policies regarding how your organization will handle compensation and benefits to the workforce during such a crisis. Refer to the Gartner research note "Toolkit: Update Your Human Resources Policies for BCM Considerations" for detailed advice on this topic.
- Talk to your insurance carrier(s) to determine if your business interruption insurance policy(ies) will pay for an Ebola virus outbreak in each of your business locations. You might decide to enhance coverage if possible.
- Test your pandemic preparedness and response plan to ensure that all team members know their role and responsibilities and all workers know the policies and procedures if you need to invoke response procedures in the plan due to an Ebola virus outbreak.
- Test your crisis management plan to ensure that all team members know their role and responsibilities if you need to invoke the plan.
- Craft crisis communications messages now in preparation for Ebola virus messaging, including: Ebola virus education training, infection prevention personal hygiene best practices, Ebola infection instances and response procedures found in your workplace, Ebola workforce impact (e.g. location closings, social distancing procedures put in place, work-at-home procedures enhanced et al) and open for business messages.
- Test your EMNS service now to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information for all contacts, and to train the workforce on the use of the service to communicate business operations information.
- If possible, and not in conflict with Privacy regulations (consult with your HR and Legal departments to determine what is possible), track internal incidents of workers out sick, workers out due to fear of infection, workers out taking care of sick family members/those under their care, workers who have traveled to Ebola virus risky locations, workers who have been in close proximity to people with confirmed cases of Ebola virus infection. Increases in these data points can trigger an absenteeism rate for which you need to take action.
- Monitor for Ebola virus-triggered local quarantines, school closings and food and fuel shortages in the area of each of your business locations to determine the level of absenteeism at those sites.
- Continually monitor your pandemic preparedness and response plan procedures and public health announcements to ensure you can move quickly when needed.

Autumn's Dance
Sarah Gai
"A story that captures your heart and continues you thinking about it long after you fall asleep."
Autumn Nash lives a nomadic existence with her harvest-travelling father, except every summer when they return to one place like clockwork…Ligonier, PA. But this season, Autumn meets a young man who changes her world and makes her long for more.
Eric Foster has been sent to stay the summer in Ligonier with his grandfather in hopes of altering his path as his life spirals downward. His direction changes the moment he sees Autumn; he knows his very reason for breathing is solely to be with her.
When Autumn is ripped away from Ligonier, she leaves Eric confused and devastated that their time is over. Both teens struggle through the years gone by without the other. Will Autumn ever see the boy who changed her life again? Will Eric wait for her? Will Autumn ever make it back to Ligonier? And what will happen when buried secrets surface?
Discover a love that takes you back to what it's all about—the confusing, yet simplistic, beginnings of falling in love and watch it evolve into something that takes your breath away.
