There are so many dress designs that are suitable for a wedding ceremony. If you are the mother to the groom, for example, you will be able to find all sorts of the mother of the groom dresses online. The best thing about searching for a dress online is that you will have all the possible available varieties from different designers. If you take your time to find a dress in such a place, there are very high chances that you will choose the best-looking one.
One of the best things about shopping for a dress online is that you don't have to waste time and energy moving from one store to the other in the name of searching for a dress. Additionally, the price at which you will find your favorite dress online is different from how much it will cost you in a real store. If you are lucky enough, the dress that was going to cost you thousands may end up costing you way lower than that.
While modern dresses are short, that does not mean that wearing a long dress to the wedding of your son/daughter is terrible. If you check out the mother of the bride gowns online, you will find it hard to decide whether a short dress or a long one will do for you. That is because the designs are superb and perfect for the occasion. You should, however, consider the kind of body you have so that you pick the most suitable dress. Just because it is a special day does not mean that you have to go out of your way to impress people with a kind of dress that you know is not the best for you. Weddings are memorable, and the pictures will be shared for a very long time hence you don't want that kind of memory.
It will be much better if you can get the right accessories to go with your new dress. Although some accessories come with the dress, it is safe for you to try other accessories you already own with the new dress. Don't be afraid to throw in some jewelry to give you a stunning look.
Fashion is very sensitive, and that can be explained by the number of dress designs that exist in the world. However, weddings require some level of elegance hence it is imperative that you look for a dress from the right places. The good thing is that all the right places are right there on your smartphone.

The French high-performance luxury manufacturer Bugatti presents the third installment in its six-part "Legends" series: a tribute to early 20th century driver and close family friend Meo Costantini.
The very first tribute was at Pebble Beach, paid tribute to Jean-Pierre Wimille, the second arrived in Frankfurt to recall Jean Bugatti, followed bu the recelty tribute to Meo Costantini A close personal friend of Ettore himself, Meo Costantini raced Bugattis in the 1920s and went on to manage the factory racing team. He won the Targa Florio twice in a Bugatti Type 35, a model that went down in history as one of the most successful racing cars ever made, and won several grands Prix.
Similar to the preview releases, the Costantini edition is based on the Vitesse roadster with its 8.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 power plan that produces 1,200-horsepower, 2.6-second 0-62 time; and 253-mile-per-hour top speed. The interior of the Costantini edition will include carbon-fiber parts of the bodywork are painted in signature French Racing Blue, and the aluminum is left exposed, polished and clear-coated. The map of the Targa Florio route is painted on the underside of the rear wing and imprinted in between the seats, and Costantini's signature is etched into the fuel cap and embroidered into the headrests. Inside it's all cognac and dark blue leather with light blue stitching, but the party trick is the racing scenes laser-etched into the leather.
The Costantini edition was unveiled at the Dubai International Motor Show this week and is up for sale at €2.09 million (>$2.8m). There will only be three of these limited edition vehicles available throughout the world.


Platinum is the third element of the tenth column in the periodic table. It is classified as a transition metal. Platinum atoms have 78 electrons and 78 protons with 117 neutrons in the most abundant isotope. It is considered to be a precious metal along with silver and gold.
Under standard conditions platinum is a shiny, silvery metal. It is very ductile, meaning that it can be easily stretched into a wire. It is also malleable, meaning it can be pounded into a thin sheet.
Platinum is resistant to corrosion when it comes into contact with air. It is also very dense (one of the highest of the elements) and has a high melting point.
Platinum is fairly inactive, but it will dissolve in hot alkalis and aqua regia.
Platinum is a rare metal and difficult to find. This is what makes it such a valuable metal. Platinum can be found in its pure form, but is most often found together with other metals from the platinum group. The majority of platinum is mined in South Africa with Russia coming in a distant second.
How is platinum used today?
Being a precious metal, platinum is often used as currency and as an investment. It is also used in coins and to make jewelry such as rings, earrings, and watches.
Despite being a popular metal for jewelry, platinum is most often used as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It is used as a catalyst for the automobile and petroleum industries.
Other applications for platinum include alloys for special metals, super strong magnets, medical instruments, and dental work.
Platinum was first found by the peoples living in South America prior to the arrival of the Spanish. They produced a platinum and gold alloy that they used in their artwork and jewelry.
The first scientist to isolate platinum in its pure element form was English chemist William Hyde Wollaston in 1803.
Where did platinum get its name?
Platinum gets its name from the Spanish word "platina" which means "silver."
There are six naturally occurring isotopes. The most abundant of these is Platinum-195.
William Hyde Wollaston also discovered the elements palladium and rhodium.
It is the most ductile of the pure metals. Only gold is more malleable.
The group of metals that platinum is part of in the periodic table is sometimes called the platinum group.
Its malleability allows it to be pounded into a sheet as thin as 100 atoms.
The word "platinum" is often associated with wealth and value. Sometimes awards called "platinum" are considered higher than "gold."

Sundance Film Festival Will Be Viewed Differently in 2021
January 21, 2021 by Jensen and Company
This time last year, fans and participants flocked to the annual Sundance Film Festival to see some of the year's best movies and attend star-studded events, panels, lounges, and parties.
This year, there will be films at this year's Sundance Film Festival, but it will look very different than years past. The 2021 Sundance Film Festival will be a primarily virtual event, taking place almost exclusively online.
And that might not necessarily be bad. While the same level of excitement on Park City's Main Street won't be there, the virtual event will offer more opportunities for people worldwide to participate in the event without traveling to Park City.
When, Where & How?
This year, the festival will take place from January 28 to February 3rd. There will be limited opportunities for press and other industry professionals to attend individual in-person screenings and events, with the bulk of the festival taking place online.
However, opportunities for connection and discussion are still widely available during the festival. Attendees can gather in virtual waiting rooms, participate in live Q&As, and congregate in new online environments to interact in a wide variety of ways.
Last month, the Sundance Institute unveiled its full lineup of feature films, somehow impressive as ever even during these trying times. A wide variety of films are on display this year, from a documentary about black market fishing to an Instagram-based love story. It should provide viewers with a rewarding and provocative viewing experience.
While the list this year is filling with fascinating and potentially thought-provoking works of art, we've found a few projects we wish to highlight.
An opening-night documentary that looks to be a can't-miss hit is The Roots drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's directorial debut Summer of Soul. This film looks at the often-overlooked Harlmer Cultural Festival that took place the same summer as Woodstock.
Sundance director Tabitha Jackson praised this film, saying, "The joy in that film, the vibrancy of the colors, the music, the social engagement, is all cinematic rather than a history lesson. Watching it during the dark days of the pandemic, it lifted us all."
Another film that looks to make a massive splash at the festival is comedian Jerrod Carmichael's debut, On the Count of Three. The plot of this film is under wraps. Still, it is a darkly comedic thriller that includes a star-studded cast featuring Christopher Abbott, Tiffany Haddish, J.B. Smoove, Henry Winkler, and Carmichael himself. "It will get people talking," said an insider who got an early look.
Almost all films will be available for public screening, but tickets for these films are limited. To buy tickets for the event, visit https://tickets.festival.sundance.org/. This year, viewers can buy a variety of single film tickets, as well as all-access passes that allow users access to panels and unique features such as the world-famous New Frontiers experience.
New Frontiers is always of the festival's most-anticipated experiences in years past. It showcases innovative technology, relying on this technology to showcase seven experiences that will broadcast via the internet using Oculus VR equipment.
For the first time, adventurous audiences worldwide will be given a chance to engage with the works, the artists, and each other via a bespoke virtual platform, accessible via computer and VR headsets.
The festival will also be hosting a diverse lineup of online special events, panels, conversations, and activations available for free to the global public. The online Cinema Café, presented by Audible with Questlove, Rita Moreno, Robin Wright, and many others, is a series of informal chats that bring together special guests for thought-provoking encounters.
The Blackhouse Foundation will host a series of panels and special events, including the Facebook Shorts Directors' Roundtable, the United for Equality Scripted Event, Sunday Brunch with Seen Black Filmmakers Intro, and more.
The Spirit Remains the Same
While this year may be a bit different in format, the festival's spirit remains the same. Exploring new, innovative works and formulating a thought-provoking discussion about the art we love remains paramount for this prestigious annual event. This year, over half of the submissions are first-timers, providing the groundwork for some trailblazing premieres from artists breaking into the industry.
For a list of other upcoming events in Park City, visit Jensen and Company. While the festival this year is mainly online, Park City remains home to various culturally immerse events year-round.
We look forward to welcoming back the traditional Sundance Film Festival next year. Until then, we hope you enjoy the online format.
If you want to be living in Park City in time for the next Sundance Film Festival, see our website to see a list of available properties or learn more about real estate in the area.

Local coach hailed by Y
Father of three urges others to join in
Crystal Ledford
Updated: Nov. 26, 2013, 12:31 a.m.
A Forsyth County man was recently honored as the top YMCA volunteer for all of the metro Atlanta area.
Steve Curry has spent the past several years coaching youth soccer and basketball at the Forsyth County Family YMCA in Vickery Village.
A single dad of three, Curry said he began coaching at the insistence of his son, Joe, now 9.
"My son told me I was going to coach," Curry said. "He said, 'I'm playing soccer and you're coaching.' And I said, 'All righty then.'"
That was about six years and Curry continues to coach youth soccer, as well as youth basketball for the local Y.
Each season, he coaches two teams, one with children 8 and younger and a second with children 10 and younger.
Phil Broome, senior sports director at the Forsyth facility, said he wasn't surprised to learn Curry had received the volunteer of the year award.
"One of the reasons we nominated him is his willingness to always help out," Broome said. "He will do whatever's asked and, more importantly, he doesn't ask for anything in return … he always goes above and beyond."
Broome cited an example from earlier this year when staff members were lining soccer fields.
"Steve was calling, emailing daily saying, 'Hey, can I help line fields? Can I do anything?" Broome said. "He's so free with his time … and in today's society when time is so precious, especially with kids, he is so willing to give."
Curry was honored along with several metro Atlanta YMCA volunteers during a dinner earlier this month in Cobb County.
Curry said he was humbled by the recognition.
"There are so many really, really active and deserving people that are involved, so I thought, 'Why me?'" he said, noting that he particularly enjoyed the awards dinner since he got to meet even more YMCA volunteers.
"It was like 1,500 or so really fun, cool people, all with a purpose," he said. "They're all seeing the need and filling it instead of waiting for somebody else to do it."
Curry said working with youth on the teams is a joy, too.
"They come in everyday with just a ton of enthusiasm," he said. "By the end of the work week, when I'm dealing with adults all day, every day, it's really fun to go deal with kids whose only real ambition is just to have a good time.
"It's just refreshing as heck. I have a ball with it."
Broome said another of Curry's strengths is recruiting other volunteers to help out.
One of those, Broome said, is Chris Burns, who co-coaches with Curry. "Steve does a great job of pulling in other volunteers, like Chris. They are a duo that really works well together."
Curry encouraged anyone who may be on the fence about getting involved to "just go."
"We need coaches, we need volunteers, we need people who want to give back and it's not that hard," he said. "You get more than you could ever possibly give.
"The return is enormous … so just go. It's easy."

Why It's Important for You to Take a Lunch Break
Published Jul 12, 2019 at 11:46 AM
CT LIVE!: Take Back Your Lunch Break
//www.nbcconnecticut.com/on-air/as-seen-on/CT-LIVE-Take-Back-Your-Lunch-Break_Hartford-511788212.html
Health and nutrition expert Joy Bauer explained why it's important to take a lunch break. (Published Tuesday, June 25, 2019)
Millenials make up the largest workforce generation in the U.S. They also feel more pressure to not take a lunch break than any other generation before them.
But beyond just millenials, more and more workers are eating at their desk or skipping their lunch break altogether.
Health and nutrition expert Joy Bauer says workers feel that there's a negative perception if they leave the workplace, and that their bosses or their colleagues might not think that they're working hard enough.
"The irony to that is when you actually leave the workplace for a well needed break, you decompress, you destress, you disconnect from all of the work worries and stress. Then when you come back, you are rejuvenated. You are energized," Bauer says.
4 Things to Know About Brain Freezes
Brain freezes, very common and very treatable. Here are four things to know about them this summer.
(Published Thursday, July 11, 2019)
Research shows that work productivity goes up after you've had a break.
"We really need to get people to start thinking differently and giving themselves permission to not have to gobble down a sad lunch at their desk while they're at their computer having to work work work," Bauer says.
"Instead, press the pause button, meet a friend, enjoy a nice restaurant meal, or take your lunch to the park and breathe in the fresh air."

Here are five reasons why you should travel to Turkey this summer.
(Published Monday, July 15, 2019)
From a job satisfaction perspective, people will be happier going into the office when they know they have a reprieve to look forward to.
"I used to be guilty of gobbling down my meal at my desk while I was on the computer but it just doesn't feel great. And it's also not great for weight control because we mindlessly eat when we're multitasking. So this is a way to healthify your body, and your mind and your workload at the same time," Bauer says.

This week, down in Mountain View, is the Indigenous Mapping Network/Google Tribal Geo Tech Workshop. Over 75 attendees engaged in indigenous mapping received training on Google's mapping tools and discussed issues such as information security. Up at Berkeley, we were lucky to have some of those attendees make the trek up on Wednesday night, including our speaker, Hauiti. We were pleased to have these visitors make the trip, and also pleased that so many of our campus participants came out to hear Hauiti speak. We had a mix of undergraduates and graduates, mostly from Environmental Science, Policy and Management, but also from Archeology and from the Energy and Resources Group. Researchers and visiting scholars also joined us, along with our visitors from the conference including founding members of IMN and our speaker and his wife from New Zealand. Our attendees included Navajo, Hupa, Coast Miwok, Hawaiian, and of course Maori. We were blessed with such a diverse group. Thank you for coming!
Hauiti is a PhD student in Information Science at the University of Otago, in Aotearoa/New Zealand. His current work involves mapping songs: listening to songs sung to children, pulling out placenames and locating them on a map. Sometimes this involves mapping based on winds and currents! In particular, the stories he shared with us are mostly from the east coast of the north island. Some experiences are hard to capture in words, and this was one of them for me; ironically words were the point of this presentation! I am now faced with trying to describe to readers what Hauiti talked about, and what it was like to hear him speak, and I find that I was so engaged in listening that it is hard to summarize. But I'll do my best!
On the surface, Hauiti says that these are songs sung to children (moteatea). In one summary of his talk, I saw the term lullaby (oriori)used. I fondly remember my grandmothers singing me to sleep with songs; but this is a different sort of lullaby. These songs are a way of teaching children from a very young age the important things: who they are, who their ancestors are (which are really the same thing), how to read the stars and how the heavens were created, where to find good food, details of tribal war history, who the important people in their community are, and much more. These are teaching songs, sung when the child is going to sleep and when they wake up in the morning – a sort of sleep-teaching. As he told us some of the stories and showed us pictures of some of the important related places, a picture took shape of all the different groups of Maori on the island, their relationships with each other, with the land, their language, and their ancestry… stories of famous and infamous ancestors, told with humor and pride. One gets a feeling for the depth and length of the stories for each tribal group. He showed us pictures of the ancestral houses (whare tipuna) and described how knowledge is represented in all the carvings and in the structure itself; how the ancestor of that group is represented at the top of the structure (tekoteko), for example.Hauiti also told us of schools of learning known as wananga, each had a very specific curriculum: navigation, boat-making, cosmology, genealogy (whakapapa). Every curriculum has a particular karakia (ancient esoteric chants), whakapapa (genealogies), tikanga(protocols for living) and korero purakau (stories). Some knowledge and some of the place names are ancient and came from the ancient lands known as Hawaiiki.
In Maori society, knowledge was held by key people known as tohunga. This is one of the ways in which knowledge was preserved and handed down from generation to generation; this seems to be a common thread in many indigenous cultures. I raise the question: how do we, all of us in the 'modern' age, balance between protecting and respecting those traditions, without losing the knowledge and stories if the right person is not available for it to be taught to? Hauiti said that he himself is an outsider to other Maori groups, and that there is a right way to ask them to share their knowledge. This is another important point for us to take home to our own mapping endeavors. He told several stories of elders who would simply stop in the middle of a story, or in some other way challenge him to think about what he was learning; to go and do some homework, so to speak. To work to remember or reconstruct what they are telling him for himself. Knowledge is earned, in some sense, by really working to understand what you are hearing and to check it. This is not so unlike university education, in my opinion.
Hauiti stressed the importance for his children to really learn to speak their own language, because "maps are only as good as the people who read them." Finally, he closed with the statement that in all the research we do, we must bring our people with us all the time and never let them fall behind. I think these are important points to remember for all of us who want to help indigenous people (including our own, in many cases) to map their knowledge. Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing the stories with us, Hauiti, and thank you everyone for coming to the meeting to share in the presentation and the discussion afterwards.


What's change? It's not about the seasons or about the months. It's all about the few things which we accept and few things which happen by one's knowledge or accidentally! Some people will not be ready to accept the changes that happen in their lives,but change is the good at some point of life.
What if there is no change at all? One cannot know the value ,difference of the colourful life. Since the day is changing from morning to evening,this world feels good at the end of the day because of the whole change happening. The life is colourful and blissful for people because of the change they undergo through ages .There will be no childhood,teenage ,young age ,middle age and old age if there is no change, and if people remain the same infants there is no point in birth and death!
"Change in life might flush away good things but it always gives better things to life".Life will be always the same old,boring one if there is no change. Change is needed for everyone and everything at certain point of time. People even should change but one shouldn't change their priorities,some people even tells that few persons change, but truly people never change only the situation changes. People always remain the same with the same attitude till the end.
So one should accept the changes that happen in a willing way or unwilling way and enjoy the fruitful joy of it.
Change is the essence of life which is needed as the catalyst for the fruitful and blissful reactions in the future.
A man said to me: The winner in life is experiencing the most. Happiness, sadness, challenge, despair, surprise, and all the other things that can be experienced on earth.
If I do the above, I have to change. That's the whole point of life I think.
🙂Glad you liked it! I'll be happy if some can get inspired by my writing's ,even it might be little!

But the yuckiness had nothing to do with diabetes. Which is a nice change of pace, I guess. What made the day better though, actually did have to do with diabetes.
I missed the DSMA Twitter chat last night. Just wasn't feeling up to it. But my phone buzzed to let me know I was getting mentioned even when I wasn't there. And it buzzed again because someone wanted to know if I was ok. And when I tweeted I'd had a bad day, my phone buzzed again with virtual hugs from my DOC friends.
And all of that made me feel so much better.
So thanks Sara, Simon, C, Martin, Cheri, and Caroline. You lifted my spirits, and made a horrible day so much better.
I love the DOC. And virtual hugs totally help.
I guess C isn't the worst sister ever. Although, the jury is still out on that one. She loved you and called me a poop stain.
Just trying to look out for my friend!
Counting the days until October!
ahhh that is so sweet!!! I missed it too :( I am sorry you aren't feel well. I know things goes in swings, so hopefully you are on an upswing soon!
I'm sorry! I hope you're feeling better today love. Here's some more ((((((((((hugs)))))))) cause you can never have enough!

This week, the advertising industry has learnt the scope of a major new opportunity coming its way.
As of September, casinos, betting shops and online gaming sites will, for the first time since the introduction of the 2005 Gambling Act, be able to advertise on television. And there is little doubt that a burgeoning sector, which has hitherto been inhibited by severe communications restrictions, will embrace the opportunity with open arms.
So trebles all round. In the first place for a number of newish (and some older) brands, which will now be able create greater awareness for themselves through what is still regarded as the most efficient single medium for that task. And in the second, for advertising agencies and TV broadcasters, who will welcome this handsome opportunity to plug the gap recently created by more stringent curbs on advertising "junk" food. After all, it's not every day that a prodigiously high spending new sector comes along.
Of course, there's a catch. The ads will still have to conform to a mind-bendingly complicated set of criteria, designed to minimise the dangers of problem gambling. For example, gambling ads must not appeal to children and young people, no ads must appear around programmes appealing to under 18s (indeed, no one under 25 must appear in the ads themselves). In addition, there must be no hint of seduction or sexual success conveyed. Most blandly, but most insidiously perhaps, the ads must not "portray, condone or encourage" behaviour that could lead to "financial, emotional or social harm". Where do you draw the line there?
Never mind, though. The UK advertising industry seems to thrive masochistically on the creative challenge presented by regulatory restrictions. The more painful they are, the better the creative product. Tobacco advertising led the way, with classic campaigns from Silk Cut and Benson & Hedges, not to mention Hamlet cigars. More recently cars (think Honda particularly) and drink (Guinness, Smirnoff) have taken up the creative baton.
The real minefield, however, lies not so much in the prospective restrictions as in the obiter dicta which accompany them. As might be expected under the current regulatory regime, responsibility for policing the ads has been placed with the Advertising Standards Authority. But, clearly fearing the ASA may not be man enough for the job, minister for sport Richard Caborn said rather ominously: "If (new rules) are insufficient to ensure proper public protection, the Government will consider using its additional powers to impose further restrictions." This is a hostage to fortune, and potentially a fairly nasty one at that.
This Government displays a contradictory ambivalence about advertising "freedom". On the one hand it encourages us to subscribe to what might be called the "Optivita code". Remember the bit at the end of the ad, where Ray Winstone turns to the camera and shrugs, "Well, don't ask me. I'm not going to tell you, am I?" In the market state of today, a contractual relationship with personal responsibility is steadily displacing former ideological and religious imperatives. Government must reflect that changing social reality.
Yet, at the same time, this has been one of the most interfering and nannying administrations in recent times. In an attempt to deflect attention from the deeper, underlying issues affecting, say, obesity or antisocial behaviour, it has on more than one occasion been happy to make advertising the whipping boy. It's so easy, so voter-friendly. Think what a field-day the politicians could have with such an obvious, unambiguous, vice as gambling if things go badly wrong. Admen, you have been warned.

Q: @Cacheable and @CachePut different return type (Will Spring's @CachePut annotation work with a void return type?)
I encountered the same problem
Because the problem has been for a long time, I do n't know if there is a solution
created a cache:
public static final String Key = "CacheKey";

@Cacheable(cacheNames = "userCache", key = "Key")
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
...
}

update this cache using the @CachePut
@CachePut(cacheNames = "userCache", key = "Key")
public User addUser(User user) {
...
}

output:
com.example.demo.dto.UserDTO cannot be cast to java.util.List

I searched for information for several days, but did not find the answer
In addition to using @CacheEvict (cacheNames = userCache, allEntries = true)
Is there a way to solve it using @Cacheable and @CachePut?
Thank you

A: I suggest reading up on how Spring Cache Abstraction works. https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/5.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/spring-framework-reference/html/cache.html
Very basically, caches are essentially key-value stores.. For the same parameters passed into a method, check the cache and return the cached result.  If the method is void, there is nothing to cache.  @CachePut needs a 'value' to pair with the 'key'.  If you want to cache the users added, addUser needs to return a User. Or have addUser call another method and move the @CachePut to that method.
Another issue you're facing, is your userCache from getAllUsers is List<User> and you're intending (although not working because of void) to put a User into the same cache that is expecting a List<User>
To put it another way, when you addUser, your userCache of List is now not in sync with the actual state of the result of getAllUsers so you need to evict the userCache of List
Change
@CachePut(cacheNames = "userCache", key = "Key")
to
@CacheEvict(cacheNames = "userCache", allEntries = true )
When you addUser, you will clear out your List cache, and next time you call getAllUsers, the cache will be updated with the now current result set.
This post is pretty much a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/a/59361298/3625077 where Federico touches on a point that this is a common misunderstanding.  The Cached value, is not an object that can be operated on, ie. in your case, you can't .add(user) to the userCache.  It's basically a snapshot of the input/output of a method.

Q: Algorithm complexity in for loop I have an algorithm and I would like to know how many times each line is called.
There I wrote which lines I understand and some lines is left.
j := 1   ---------------------- 1 time
while j < n do  --------------- n times
  x := B[j]    ---------------- n-1 times
  k := j    ------------------- n-1 times
  for i := j + 1 to n do  ----- ?
    if B[i] < x then     ------ ?
      x := B[i]     ----------- ?
      k := i    --------------- ?
  B[l] := B[j]   -------------- n-1 times
  B[j] := x     --------------- n-1 times
  j := j + 1   ---------------- n-1 times

Note: k := i means that line is called once but for i := j + 1 to n do - twice: assign and comparison.

A: Since B[i] can change depending on some as yet unknown thing (maybe some values of B[1], B[2], B[3],.. will behave differently than others, at this point e don't know maybe it will maybe it won't), let's start off by simplifying, getting rid of the stuff we don't know about and leaving unconditional operations:
j := 1   ---------------------- 1 time
while j < n do  --------------- n times
  k := j    ------------------- n-1 times
  for i := j + 1 to n do  ----- ?
    k := i    ----------------- ?
  j := j + 1   ---------------- n-1 times

(This is the point of worst-case analysis, because of the conditional and the data in B, things may go much faster, but at least it'll be no worse than the analysis we're about to do.
The inner loop will occur altogether $n-1$ times (think of it just like the other assignments). But each operation in that inner loop (incrementing the $i$, comparing it to $n$, setting $k$ to $i$) how many times will they take place? Well, from $j+1$ to $n$ times. Which is $n - j - 1$. So as $j$ goes from 1 to $n$, $i$ goes from $j+1$ to $n$. This can be expressed as a summation:
$$\sum^n_{j=1} \ \sum^n_{i=j+1} ???$$
What is the question mark? What is the inner thing being summed? Well, let's be simple, ignore the extra comparisons and additions in the 'for' command' and just count the 'k := i ' assignment or 1 operation. So the summation looks like this:
$$\sum^n_{j=1} \ \sum^n_{i=j+1} 1.$$
Now you should be able to find it easier to manipulate this sum than it is to manipulate the programming language operations. For example, summing 1 from $a$ to $b$ is the same as summing 1 from 0 to $b-a$ which is equal to $b-a+1$ (why the '$+1$'?).
Once you can manipulate the summation, then you can go back to adding in complexities, like multiple assignments. You'll realize that those simplifications I made were not really important,they only change a constant in front of the final answer.
Since for this algorithm (insertion sort), it ends up being dependent on the actual data $B$ being sorted, the worst case is the most exact answer you'll get (you really don't want to worry about the conditional) unless you know something about what $B$ looks like (is it already sorted, in reverse, some interesting subset of permutations, etc.

A: Hint: You enter the for loop n-1 times as shown from the line above.  Then how many loops to you do?  It should be something like n-j, but you have to figure out the ends-there may be a +1 or -1 or something.  Does your definition of for do the loop with i=n or not?  so the for will be executed 2*(n-1)*(something like n-j) times.  Given the if statement, you can't say for sure how many times the lines within it are executed.  All you can do is find a maximum, assuming the if always evaluates as true.

Canada 'missed the boat' on economic policies to mitigate climate change: doctor
Camille Bains

Canada "has missed the boat" when it comes to developing renewable energy resources that would mitigate the impact of global warming and its impact on human health, a leading medical expert says.
Dr. James Orbinski, a professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, told a meeting of the Canadian Medical Association that Canada still has time to catch up with other countries or it will be left behind.
California has the fastest-growing economy in the United States despite putting a price on carbon emissions, but Canada has failed to recognize that this is not a "false choice" with a negative economic impact, Orbinski said Monday.
"For Canada, we have been stuck in this paradox," he said. "We are lagging behind economically in terms of the kind of advances that other nations like Germany, Spain, the nations of continental Europe, the U.K., China even, the kind of policies that they're engaging in terms of dealing with the effects of climate change."
The development of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power, has fuelled a knowledge- and technology-based economy in California, which has experienced a fifth year of drought driven by climate change, Orbinski said Monday.
People in developing regions of the world suffer the most from the effects of climate change, he said.
In 2011, 13 million east Africans were on food assistance because of drought, he said.
"This is the consequence of climate change. It is profound. And it is utterly unacceptable."
Orbinksi, who co-founded the medical and research organization Dignitas International to provide AIDS treatment in the sub-Saharan African country of Malawi, said 270,000 people are receiving treatment for the disease, but that's not their worst problem.
"It is drought," he said, adding 29 million people in southern Africa are on food assistance.
Orbinski, who headed Doctors Without Borders when it won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1999, said wildfires, hurricanes and floods, as a result of rising sea levels, are just some of the effects of climate change.
The rate of temperature increases in Canada is two times higher than the worldwide average, with greater hikes in the northern part of the country, he said.
"What is very clear is that climate change is like no other threat that the human species has ever faced in its history," he said. "It is the contemporary issue of the 21st century."
Orbinski urged doctors to get involved locally in climate-change initiatives, adding that could affect policy change.
Dr. Cindy Forbes, outgoing president of the Canadian Medical Association, said discussions will be held by the organization's board as physicians aim to make a difference in their own communities when it comes to climate change initiatives.
"We've identified it as a major issue," she said in an interview. "We will be looking at what we can do at the federal (government) level but at this point we have not made any decisions or determinations as to what our next steps will be."
The federal government, along with other provinces, set new goals following the Paris Agreement last December to reduce carbon emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
Last week, British Columbia decided against increasing its carbon tax. Premier Christy Clark called on other provinces to match B.C.'s carbon tax and said the government would re-evaluate the levy when other jurisdictions have similar taxes in place.

The Broncos worked out an injury settlement with veteran fullback Cecil Sapp yesterday prior to releasing him. Sapp says he has a chance to sign with several other teams, but he's got to get over a strained hip muscle first. That leaves Denver with two rookie fullbacks for Monday night's season opener at Oakland, starter Peyton Hillis and Spencer Larsen, who can also play linebacker.

Q: Multiple step MODEL rails I want to create an event by users using multiple steps for the creation.
At the moment I have the following problem that it redirects to the first step after completing the second step.

      format.html { redirect_to @event, notice: 'event erfolgreich erstellt.' }
      format.json { render json: @event, status: :created, location: @event }
    else
      format.html { render action: "new" }
      format.json { render json: @event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    end
  end
end

My model requires only title and description to be present.
The views are as follows:
Step1
<%= simple_form_for (@event), :method => 'new' do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_notification %>
  <%= f.input :title,:label => 'Event Titel' ,:placeholder=>"Titel des Events"%>
  <%= f.text_area :description,:label => 'Beschreibung',:placeholder=>"Beschreibung"%>
  <%= f.submit "Event erstellen", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary pull-right"%>

Step2
<%= simple_form_for (@event), :method => 'new' do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_notification %>
  <%= f.input :category%>
  <%= f.input :website, :label=>"Website"%>

Any help? Thanks in advance.

A: The normal one step method to create a model is for someone to go to the new page which will call the new controller and render the new page. The user fills in a form and hits submit which drives the create controller. If that works, it redirects to the show page.
If I were to do a two step creation, I would probably still go to the new page first and have it call the create action, but then rather than saving the model, I'd render the step2 page and have them fill in more details and also include the first page of details in hidden fields. I would have that form call a different action than the first at which point I would save the model. Conversely, I could have the first form call the step2 action then have that page call the create action. Another option is to save the model after step1 and retrieve it on step2. This option would be kind of ugly if step1 succeeds, but step2 fails.
Your new controller as it is will save a model to the database (without getting any user input) then render the new2 page. I highly doubt this is what you want. If it is, I'd highly recommend against it.
I assume Step1 is what you render for new2 and Step 2 is what you're rendering for new3. However, both of these forms as is will call the update controller (not shown). Also the method new is not standard, I'm a little surprised it didn't choke on it. Standard methods are :get, :post, :put, and :delete. You may be able to create non-standard one in your routes configuration, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to direct your form to your new2 controller then you'll need to setup a route and use the :url option to form_for to get it there.
I hope that helps.

Concepts: Oral motor coordination, imitation.
Our Suggestions: Sit with your child in front of the mirror. Have your child try and imitate a variety of "funny faces" in the mirror. For example, give a kiss, smack your lips, stick your tongue out like a snake (pointy), try and touch your nose with your tongue, lick your lips, move your tongue from corner to corner of your mouth, click your tongue etc. All of these help with oral-motor control, strength and movement for eating and speech sound production.
Our Suggestions: Help your child match the puzzle piece to the spot. Encourage your child to look for certain puzzle pieces- ex. Find the cow or hold up two pieces and say 'Pick the Cow". Practice naming the animals and saying what the animal says.
Our Suggestions: Have your child blow a variety of whistles. These will help with oral-motor control, strength and movement as well as increasing breath support for eating and speech.
Concepts: Oral motor coordination, speech.
Our Suggestions: Blow bubbles, Have your child ask for "more", "bubbles", "more bubbles", "mine", "my turn" etc. If your child cannot say the entire word, accept an approximation such as "mo" for "more" or "ba" for "bubbles". Have your child try and blow the bubbles.
Our Suggestions: Practice saying the animals and what they say. Talk about how each piece feels as your child puts it in the spot.
Our Suggestions: Have your child open mouth and say "ahhh". Allow your child to look in your mouth. Work on vocabulary such as tongue, teeth, lips, throat.
Child is beginning to babble and make some speech sounds.
Be sure to check out Sign Language and Flash Cards too.
Our Suggestions: Have all the animal pins in a bag. Have your child label each animal as you pull it out of the bag and say what the animal says. Have your child tell you to put the pins "up". Have your child ask for the ball. Label when your child rolls the ball and the pins fall down. Encourage "again".
Concepts: First words and First Concepts.
Our Suggestions: A wonderful book for first words. Practice concepts like Uh-oh and Peek-a-boo in a way your child will love.
Concepts: Vocabulary, fine motor coordination.
Our Suggestions: Label each picture as your child picks them up and puts it in the book. Encourage your child to say the names as well!
Concepts: Colors, shapes, sorting, fine motor coordination, cause/effect.
Our Suggestions: Label each color and/or shape as your child picks them up and puts it in the bucket. Encourage your child to put them in and then dump them out and do it all over again!
Concepts: Animal names/sounds, sensory, fine motor coordination.
Our Suggestions: Label each animal and make the sound it says as your child picks up each block. Stack the blocks in a tower and knock it over and do it again!
Concepts: Animals/sounds recognition, fine motor coordination.
Our Suggestions: This toy goes on your refrigerator and the magic reader recognizes which animal was placed inside. Your child will hear the animal sound and then a song. Great toy for first words and if you are trying to make dinner!
Concepts: Gross & Fine Motor Coordination, speech, colors, numbers, letters.
Our Suggestions: Label what your child is pressing on the table. As your child grows, see if they can label items before they press them.
Concepts: Speech, shapes, colors and fine motor coordination.
Our Suggestions: Label what your child is pressing on Tad (tadpole). As your child grows, see if they can label items before they press them.
Concepts: ABC's, language, words, shapes, colors, numbers.
Our Suggestions: For younger children, you will need to press the "Go" on each page and show your child how to press the various pictures for sounds. Talk about what you are seeing and hearing. See if your child can imitate some of the animal and environmental sounds as well as label the pictures on each page.
Concepts: Gross motor coordination (walking), speech.
Our Suggestions: Fun toy to encourage children to try the "pop" sounds like the toy as they run around!
Concepts: Babbling, imitating, singing, intonation and turn taking.
Our Suggestions: Make sounds and words into the microphone and hold it to your child's mouth and let them know if is their turn. Imitate the sounds and words your child says, too.
Concepts: First sounds: "Ba, Da, Duh, Boom"; rhythm.
Our Suggestions: Children love to use the drum as they make sounds. This drum counts aloud and says the alphabet as your tap on it. Encourage your child to say different sounds as he/she beats the drum (ie. ba, duh, ta). This drum is a very motivational for children learning to babble and imitate sounds. Children who appear tentative to talk always seem to drop their inhibitions when we get the drum out during therapy.
Our Suggestions: A great CD! The CD contains favorite songs played slowly so that children can sing along. Choose one simple word from each song and encourage your child to sing only that word each time it is heard throughout the song. Words that are repeated a lot are best. Gradually encourage your child to "add" more words.
Child babbles and says up to 20 words.
Be sure to check out Parent Resources and Sign Language too.
Our Suggestions: Sing "Wheels on the Bus" while you and your child play with the bus. Put the people on the bus and then take them off. Label what the people and bus are doing.
Concepts: First Words: "Baby, mmmmm, eat, drink, shhh (sleeping)"; Pretend play.
Our Suggestions: Pretend play is important for the process of language acquisition. It is not structured or goal-oriented and is fun. Parents can "show by example" on how to play. While playing with your child, encourage your child to "feed" the baby with a bottle or a spoon. Have your child put the baby to "sleep". Pick up the baby as if it is "crying".
Concepts: First Words: "In, Out, Oh-oh, Boom"; Turn-taking.
Our Suggestions: There are a variety of ways to play from simply emptying the jar and putting the pieces back (attention span and turn-taking), to matching the shapes, or using it as a memory game. The game is very durable and lots of fun. Practice "my turn", "your turn" as well as naming the shapes.
Concepts: Animal sounds: "Baa, Moo, Peep, etc"; pretend play, following directions.
Our Suggestions: Pretend play is important for the process of language acquisition. It is not structured or goal-oriented and is fun. Parents can "show by example" on how to play. While playing with your child, encourage your child make animal sounds. Have your child pretend the sheep is grazing on grass or taking a nap. This toy has fun music and animal sounds that encourage your child to talk along. Your child can learn to follow directions as you tell him/her to "put the sheep next to the chicken", or "Give me the horse."

It's great for having children say lots of words with flashcards. Children always enjoy the game's conclusion as they watch the treasure chest open revealing a large purple diamond inside.
Our Suggestions: Past tense is the "-ed" form or irregular past tenses such as sat and ate. As your child learns the "-ed" form, he or she may begin to say "eated" instead of "ate". Don't worry - this is normal. The "-ed" is hard to hear. Try and stress this as you talk as well as the meaning of "-ed". Encourage your child to repeat your sentence. Praise "good talking". ex. She swallowed a fly.
Child communicates well using sentences. Child could benefit from activities that focus on listening comprehension and verbal expression.
Be sure to check out Articulation Books and Online Activities too.
Concepts: Turn taking, eye contact, asking questions, physical attributes, /r/ sound (person).

Our Suggestions: A motivating popper to roll the dice. This is a game that children love. It can easily be used a a reinforcer for practicing flashcards or sound practice.


I always recommend to allow at least an hour for transportation from anywhere in Walt Disney World. I always prefer to be a few minutes early for my reservations and allowing an hour typically gives us enough time to get to our destination.Leaving Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park around 4:00pm should give you enough time to make it to your reservation at O'hana at 5:05. I would make sure you're at the bus area at 4:00 just in case you need to wait for a few minutes for your bus to arrive.
Your dinner at O'hana should last around 60-90 minutes. For the week of September 24th, DHS closes at 8pm. You may have time to return to DHS for an hour or so, depending on your meal length as well as the bus timing back to the park.
Please come back and see us again real soon, Pam.


I am trying to help my neighbors daughter improve her English. I am wondering, at what point do you teachers introduce the use of articles and how do you convey the meaning of them to your students?
Do you mean that at the moment you're NOT using articles? I really think you're doing learners a disservice if you "simplify" sentences into things like "red apple on table". It's much better to use articles naturally so that you are constantly giving examples of correct usage.
It's a pretty complicated area of grammar when you start looking at the details and it wouldn't be appropriate to give a young learner loads of rules and exceptions to learn. A lot of mistakes can be prevented if students apply two basic rules though.
1. All singular countable nouns need an article.
2. Uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns take no article when talking about generalities.
I'd recommend first trying to get the concept of "countable/uncountable" nouns across. It's the basis of so much English grammar.
Thanks for the input nomade. No I haven't been trying to teach her without the articles. We have just begun and in the little English she speaks she has not been using them. Not being a true teacher myself I felt that she should learn using articles but didn't want to completely confuse or overwhelm her. You have given me a great deal of help here. Now I know how to simply explain it to her so that she can learn correctly. I really do appreciate it.
My guess is that OP is asking more - when and how does one enter the complex vista of teaching articles - rather than if one should start using them?
So, my suggestion, as with all things grammar and pronunciation, is to teach them when they come up – as they happen.
Regardless of the original lesson – a quick little mini-lesson needs to occur to highlight the unique aspects of the grammar and pronunciation issues in EACH lesson as they happen. This is preferable, rather than specific full-blown lessons on the rather uninteresting aspects of grammar and pronunciation only.
Grammar, and pronunciation, are much more relevant when taught in the context of a regular lesson – and their relevance is what facilitates motivation to learn them – as well as helping the student understand and assimilate the information.
Just my opinion. All lessons should have little contextual "min-lessons" that highlight the specific grammatical aspects of the content being covered.
Otherwise, the points suggested by nomade - are a good place start. That, and given the correct situation - almost all uncountable nouns - can be countable!
given the correct situation - almost all uncountable nouns - can be countable!
Bob, you have made some excellent points and I agree totally that grammar should be taught in small doses and within context. But I disagree about the last bit you wrote! In what circumstances could words like ...advice, information, software, luggage, furniture, accomodation, permission, laughter etc ... be countable?
Mikey, it sounds like the mistakes your student is making are probably due to first language interference. I don't speak Thai but I'd guess articles aren't used in the same way as in English? A lot of language learning involves students "noticing" things. (The ahhhh!! factor) It's usually better if you can get students to notice grammar structures on their own rather than just telling them. Give loads of examples and see if your student can work out the "rule" for herself ... she'll remember it better if she does.
Nomade, you're right. There are no articles in the Thai language.
Yes,yes, I have so many happinesses, or as the Chinese say: Double happiness.
Point taken, as a newbie in Asia, I bow to your superior local knowledges!
Notice I said "almost all" - not "all".
Try this one: The variety of coffees grown in Africa is incredible.
Or from your list: The different softwares on my computer are not compatible. (I have Korean, Thai, and English Windows - and different components of each).
When an uncountable noun is used to indicate types or kinds - it can often be used as a countable noun. But this, again, is not a hard and fast rule.
Notice also, that I said, "Given the correct situation" - so, if when planning the launch of a new product in a new country and you are seeking the permission (again from your list), for example, of a variety of government entities - I might ask you, "Have you obtained all the permissions that are required?"
Okay, I realize these are all a bit on the fringe - and I would not typically teach these type situations to a less than advanced student - but they do exist and can, at times, be very appropriate.
What you'll learn after you taught a while is that almost (notice that d*amn almost again!) all grammar rules have innumerable exceptions. I've become a bit hesitant in my old age about being to absolute on almost any rules - unless I am quite aware of all the possible exceptions.
I had an office next door to an incredible grammarian for five years - and had many a grammar bubble burst.
And, btw, which of the Englishes (that d*amn "s" again!) of the world do you intend to say are correct or incorrect? Tongue in check here really, as I agree with you on many uncountable nouns - but I just wanted to write "Englishes"!!
The variety of coffees grown in Africa is incredible.
No problem at all with that one Bob. It's perfectly acceptable ... just like the number of wines and cheeses produced in France is incredible.
The different softwares on my computer are not compatible.
Have you obtained all the permissions that are required?"
Again I don't think that sounds right. I'd say "Have you obtained all the authorizations that are required?"
Note that when I disagree, I say "That doesn't sound right" ... obviously somewhere in my head I have assimilated "rules" that tell me this without my having to check it in a grammar book. However your assimilated rules seem to be different, which is quite interesting!
Conventional grammar explanations are rarely entirely satisafactory. To say that a grammar rule is both simple and accurate is usually an oxymoron. The way we try to describe "grammar" is obviously flawed ... I often feel there are some other rules that nobody's noticed yet. How come children learn to speak languages effortlessly and perfectly in a relatively short time with no formal grammar input at all?
Finally, I agree that there are many different "Englishes" and that just because we teach "standard" English doesn't make the other types less worthy. And I noticed while teaching TOEFL that there are many differences even between "standard" American and British grammar. There's also the fact that what is accepted as "correct" grammar changes over time.
'Permissions' is fine for a plural form... My feeling is that your 'feeling' might likely come from your own personal preference for use...Quite natural, and your form is correct, too.
And American English is the dominate English language now, I'd say.
Thank goodness the OP is about WHEN to start teaching articles.... HOW to teach them would be MUCH harder!
I'd say start off USING articles right away. The earlier the better- don't try to explain them at first; that'd just be wasted effort. Use sentences and examples and a lot of modelling (with appropriate confirmation from the students of course) to demonstrate and elicit meaning. Ideally, the kids will construct the meaning for themselves and get into the right habits and patterns. Later, when the formal usage is taught, they'll find they've been doing it all along without knowing the rules- just like we do!
wouldnt that be ," just like what we do"?
^far as I'm aware, my grammar/usage is correct!

Spinning it for India tour: Australia hire Panesar as consultant, Sriram as mentor

In an interesting move, Cricket Australia has hired former England spinner Monty Panesar as its spin-bowling consultant, as the Aussies prepare for the tough four-Test tour of India starting from next month
In an interesting move, Cricket Australia has hired former England spinner Monty Panesar as its spin-bowling consultant, as the Aussies prepare for the tough four-Test tour of India starting from next month. The selector of 34-year-old Panesar in a significant one since he played a major role in India's last series defeat at home.
England were the last side to beat India in India, in 2012 under Alastair Cook, and Panesar was one of the stars of show, claiming 17 scalps in three Tests. However, Panesar's fortunes have dwindled since owing to injury, form and personal issues. The left-arm spinner has in fact spent this summer as a club cricketer in Sydney. According to some media reports in Australia, Panesar will travel to the Centre of Excellence as early this week to work where he will join Australia's left-arm spin option for the tour of India, Steve O'Keefe.
Media reports further said that the former England skipper's hiring was done at the behest of Pat Howard, Cricket Australia's high performance manager, and this was done knowing well the threat that will be posed by Indian spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in particular. The duo claimed 54 wickets between them in series against England, which India won 4-0.
"Having Monty come up is a nice way to kickstart the squad's thinking about playing in India. We want the batsmen to be thinking about what the bowlers will be trying to do to them over there and Monty can engage them that way as well as with the bowlers," Howard was quoted as saying by the Australian.
Meanwhile, it has been learnt that Sridharan Sriram, a former India left-arm spinning all-rounder, will mentor Australia's slow bowlers for their upcoming Test tour of India. Sriram had earlier worked with Australia's spinners during their disastrous tour to Sri Lanka last year as well as World Twenty20 in India 2016. His services were to be utilised during the tour of Bangladesh, a series that had to be postponed due to security reasons.
As per reports, Sriram will travel with the Australian squad to Dubai on January 29 for their training camp at the ICC Academy, and will work with the team during the Tests. Australia have picked four specialist spinners for the India series - Nathan Lyon, Steve O'Keefe, Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson. There is also Glenn Maxwell, who can turn his arm around.
"Sri has worked with us on a number of occasions now all across our pathway system and he is currently in Dubai with our Under-16 team providing his expertise on sub-continental conditions. He knows our players very well and has a wealth of knowledge on the conditions that our players will face in India, Pat Howard, Cricket Australia's executive general manager of team performance was quoted as saying espncricinfo. As a player, Sriram played eight ODIs for India, but managed only 81 runs. He claimed nine wickets with the ball, averaging a little over 30.
It may be recalled that Australia have not won a Test in India since 2004. Also, their last series victory in Asia came against Sri Lanka back in 2011. Since then, they had lost nine consecutive Tests on the sub-continent, a record the Aussies clearly wouldn't be proud of.

No crap it got attention.
It's not every day that a Bugatti Veyron rolls into a Cars & Coffee, at least in the US and not, say, Monaco. But is there a better chance you'll catch a fake Veyron roll into some parking lot on a Saturday or Sunday morning? Perhaps, and the people gathered yesterday for a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Cars & Coffee got to experience a Veyron-like car. Yes, this Veyron is very much a fake although, we have to say, it does look pretty good. Based on a Mercury Cougar, this fiberglass-bodied replica is supposedly 1 of 10 made.
And, if you recall, we showed you one just like it (perhaps it's the same one) that recently sold on eBay for nearly $60,000. The original asking price was around $82,000. That car was powered by a 3.0-liter V6 sourced from a Mercury Sable, and it's a fair assumption the same goes for this one. Still though, a fake Veyron still gathers a decent size crowd.

by Ray Fraser | Aug 31, 2022 | Whale Watching | 0 comments
August whale watching sightings returned to form and were fantastic as the pilot whales showed up in their traditional numbers. Why? To put it simply, in July we didn't get the weather for whale watching, but in August we did. In July, the winds were akin to the winds we normally get in June. This delay in the arrival of traditional June winds means that there was a delay in traditional summer weather, which also delayed the arrival of the pilot whales normal food. No food equals no whales. Lots of factors contributed to the delay in the June winds, such as the warming of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and this could be a trend moving forward; we'll have to see as time goes by.
Regardless, we are delighted to have had such a wonderful August of whale watching inline with our traditional sightings numbers. However, the summer was not without tragedy. July ended with a dead pilot whale sighted at Cabot's Landing Provincial Park, where a pair of sharks fed on the carcass. MARS, Marine Animal Responce Society, arrived, studied the whale and buried it on site in early August.
On August 19th, Oshan Whale Watch's Cheryl Fraser and Elizabeth Zwamborn of the Cape Breton Pilot Whale Project sighted an emaciated pilot whale, once more, at Cabot's Landing. The whale was seen going under and did not come up. It is presumed dead and its body was not recovered.
The sadness continued and at the end August, Oshan Whale Watch helped locate and facilitate a partial-necropsy of the cherished pilot whale, Double-Dip. He was discovered in Northern Cape Breton waters floating beside the Hammer, a rock formation North of Meat Cove, and eventually washed ashore east of Bay St. Lawrence on August 26th. Reaching the pilot was no easy task. Captain Ray Fraser hiked across the craggy beach to photograph Double-Dip. Because of the tides, it was impossible to go back around the shore, so the only way off the beach was to climb the cliff.
Double-Dip as Seen From the Cliff Above
MARS was scheduled to arrive on the 28th and preparations had been made to utilize a local skiff to land at the site. However, a storm on the 27th had taken Double-Dip out to sea and he was no where to be seen. With no corpse to be found, MARS cancelled their planned visit.
Determined to find the whale, Elizabeth Zwamborn arrived on the 28th with her drone and from shoreside she scanned for any sign of Double-Dip. She searched to the East and West of Bay St. Lawrence Harbour, but had no luck in finding him. Elizabeth decided to hop aboard the 10:30 am Oshan Whale Watch tour. Captain Cyril Fraser continued the search for Double Dip and immediately steamed the Oshan Eastwards along the beach. They quickly discovered Double-Dip had come back ashore, slightly west of its previous location, but in the middle of sharp, black swell-covered rocks.
Double-Dip's Location Sighted by Elizabeth aboard the Oshan
After the tour, which sighted lots of pilot whales, Elizabeth quickly rushed to the beach to see if Double-Dip was accessible. Unfortunately, the tide and surf were too high to safely hike around the beach to reach him. So, Elizabeth promptly borrowed a Kayak, paddled to Double-Dip and performed a partial-necropsy.
At the moment, Double-Dip's cause of death is unknown, but Elizabeth noted he appeared healthy at 19 feet long with a full belly. Elizabeth collected samples to return to the lab for further study.
It is never fun to find a dead whale onshore, or at sea, but Oshan Whale Watch is proud to volunteer with MARS and the Cape Breton Pilot Whale Project to do what we can to help. More information about Double-Dip can be found in Tom Ayers' CBC article. Please visit MARS website to find out more about what you can do to help whales in Nova Scotia. And for information on Elizabeth and her hard-working team you can have a look at the Cape Breton Pilot Whale Project .
Overall, the August whale watch sightings were both spectacular, and somber. Every whale is special, but finding Double-Dip on the beach hit hard. All the dead pilots discovered this season are a reminder that although these creatures are plentiful in Bay St. Lawrence, we should never take them, or any whales, or any wildlife for granted. Every sighting is precious and we are thankful for any whale we see.
