SAI approves Neeraj Chopra's off-season training in USA
New Delhi| Sat, Dec 04 | 8:19 a.m.
SAI on Friday approved an urgent proposal to enable Neeraj Chopra to travel to the US for a 90-day off-season training camp.
New Delhi, Dec 3: The Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Friday approved an urgent proposal to enable Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra to travel to the US for a 90-day off-season training camp in the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Centre, ahead of a busy 2022 season.
The proposal, moved by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI), was approved inside four hours to ensure the javelin thrower Chopra can fly out on Sunday.
The cost approved to train at the prestigious Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Centre under the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) will be Rs 38 lakh. The proposal was moved after the plan to base the javelin throwers in Potchefstroom was scrapped due to the new COVID-19 strain in South Africa, SAI said in a press release.
Given the uncertainty across the world, SAI decided to not wait for the Mission Olympic Cell meeting to approve the proposal. The sports body will seek ratification of the decision from the next meeting of the MOC since the approval was granted to make sure that Chopra can leave India on Sunday.
Chopra will thus start his preparation for the 2022 World Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games at the training centre in Chula Vista, San Diego. The state-of-the-art centre, spread over 155 acres, is one of the world's finest training and competition venues.
The proposal for the 90-day camp is from December 5 to March 4 next. It will help him prepare for the packed season which includes the World Championships in Oregon, US, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, UK and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
Coach Klaus Bartonietz will travel to the US with Chopra, who created history by becoming the country's first medallist in Olympic track and field events when he claimed gold in javelin throw at Tokyo 2020.

The Misanthrope's Guide to Epcot's Gran Fiesta Tour
Part of the Misanthrope's Guide to Disney World, a series of posts on surviving the theme parks for people who hate people. The main guide page can be found here, with links to previous posts.
World Showcase is the true heart of Epcot, and the Mexico Pavilion is one of World Showcase's most stunning countries. Fronted by a giant facade that resembles an Aztec temple, the entire experience is housed inside. A small museum of Mexican culture and history provides the entry into the greater pavilion, a perpetually moonlit courtyard buzzing with life. Street vendors sell numerous wares, nearby stores entice customers with pricier goods, and a tequila bar tempts the thirsty. A romantic restaurant sits along the water that flows past another ancient temple, with a volcano looming in the distance.
Hidden in the back of the pavilion is one of World Showcase's only two rides, three if you count transportation boats. The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros has one of the longest names of any Disney attraction, but that's not the only thing that makes it unique. This is a dark ride, tourism film, and animated adventure all viewed from a slow moving boat. It's not the best or most exciting ride, but it's one of the most random.
This attraction started life as The Gran Fiesta Tour, supposedly a journey through Mexico's past and present. Blending detailed scenery with video screens, as well as a room that feels like an it's a small world homage, the ride felt more like an advertisement for a vacation in Mexico than an actual look at its culture and people.
The ride had limited popularity, due to its rapidly dated feeling videos and hidden location. Hoping to revamp the attraction, Disney introduced a new plotline centered on The Three Caballeros, stars of some of Disney's most disjointed and surreal features. As the thin story goes, Brazilian parrot Jose Carioca and Mexican rooster Panchito Pistoles journey through Mexico to find their partner Donald Duck and make it to their concert in time. Along the way, they pass through scenes of the country's sights and highlights.
Other than the videos, little of the attraction changed. There does seem to be an increase in visitors, however, attracted by the promise of an adventure with Donald and friends. Seeing the confused reactions of some guests afterward is one of the pleasures of the ride.
Entering through an awning next to the pavilion's river, guests descend a short, twisting queue to their boats. Drifting calmly into the waters, they pass diners at the San Angel Inn on their right before entering ancient ruins on their left. At the end of a long, mural lined tunnel, a giant screen comes to life, as Panchito and Jose discover their friend and bandmate Donald has disappeared.
Floating past more screens and temple scenery, they pass the birds as they continue their search on a flying serape, always managing to miss the sightseeing Donald. Suddenly, the boat enters a town square celebrating Day of the Dead. Animated papier-mache dolls dance and smash pinatas as a skeletal band plays from above.
Leaving the town behind, guests pass by a busy restaurant and an ocean grotto, before finally discovering Donald at a Mexican fiesta. Re-united with his compatriots, the Three Caballeros appear on stage in Mexico City, playing their signature tune for passing boats. Finished with their journey, riders receive a final farewell from the birds before unloading at the dock.
Factors for Misanthropy
The main problem found within the Gran Fiesta Tour is a common issue at Epcot, alcohol. Mexico Pavilion is the last stop on many Drink Around the World Tours, and there's a high-class tequila bar across the square. Guests who have imbibed too much will wander to the boat ride, though their wandering may not be a very straight path. Their obnoxious commentary and loud voices can unnerve even the most patient guests, not to mention their booze soaked breath that could knock a burro unconscious.
Another odd annoyance comes from the close quarters of the attraction. Many scenes are within arms reach of guests, and the lighting is often dark enough to obscure guest's bad behavior. As such, an occasional bold rider will reach into the attraction and steal theming, such as fake flowers lining one section. It can only be hoped these individuals escalate their crimes, so that they can be ejected for shoplifting and leave the rest of us to our law abiding attraction going.
The Short Version
The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros is an entertaining diversion, a slow moving dark ride with pleasant, if low-tech scenery. The room of animated dolls shows some great art and design, as do the majority of the sets. While it doesn't match the true beauty of Mexico's greatest sights, it still gives a decent tourist's view of the country while providing some Disney charm for the kids. As long as the tequila tours are avoided, it's a relaxing way to spend a few minutes in World Showcase.

CES 2022 seemingly falling apart: Google and GM join T-Mobile and others in opting-out
Amelia Holowaty Krales
CES, the world's largest technology show, appears to be in jeopardy due to rising COVID-19 cases in the United States. On Wednesday evening, exhibitor Lenovo announced that it would "suspend all on-site activity in Las Vegas," following announcements from T-Mobile, Amazon, Meta, and others that they'd be ditching as well and despite CES organizers' statements today that the show would go on.
Intel says it will move to a "digital-first" experience with minimal on-site staff
T-Mobile was the most prominent exhibitor to bail early in the week. CEO Mike Sievert, one of the Consumer Electronics Show's featured speakers, publicly announced on Tuesday that he would no longer be doing a keynote and would "significantly limit our in-person…

What might have been. Rapid Transit in Philadelphia.
About A. Merritt Taylor
Tag: Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Timeline of Philadelphia Transit Lines
May 6, 2021 / R4 / 0 Comments
About a week ago, I came across a reddit post displaying the timeline of Washington DC's Metro development. Needless to say, I set out to create a similar graphic for Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Timeline spans 145 years, three transit authority eras and four lines that qualify as rapid transit. The majority of development happened prior to World War II with 54 stations being opened before 1940. Since then, another 27 stations have opened, the majority of them being related to PATCO.
No station has opened since the Broad Street Spur's Chinatown Station replaced Vine Street in construction necessitated by the building of the Commuter Rail tunnel in the 1980s.
Philadelphia's Transit Plan vision for 2045 does include several projects that have been added to the timeline as proposals. Only the reopening of the Franklin Square station on the PATCO line seems guaranteed at this point.
Check out the timeline, and of course, let me know if you have any corrections or comments.
The 1901 Rapid Transit Charters of Philadelphia
December 12, 2015 / R4 / 0 Comments
In 1901, the Pennsylvania state legislature passed laws legalizing the formation of companies in Philadelphia for the construction and operation of elevated and underground railroads. The charters provided six subway and elevated lines in the city of Philadelphia. In total, 112 miles of elevated and subway track were approved. At the time the franchises and construction was approved, it was imagined that rapid transit would be a purely private endeavor.

Hone Werahiko: the discoverer of gold at Te Aroha
No. 61 WERAHIKO_Revised.pdf
Hart, P. (2016). Hone Werahiko: the discoverer of gold at Te Aroha. (Te Aroha Mining District Working papers, No. 61). Hamilton, New Zealand: University of Waikato, Historical Research Unit.
Originally Hone Kahukahu, when he was living at Ohinemutu in the 1860s he became known as Hone Werahiko, an Arawa name he retained for the rest of his life. His father, a member of Ngati Kahungungu, had been captured by Arawa; his mother was a Waikato. A widow living at Maketu chose him as her second husband because he was 'a good looking fellow & understood English'.
In the late 1860s and much of the 1870s, he prospected in Hauraki and even in the King Country, and worked underground in a Thames mine, the only Maori known to have done so. But in the early 1870s he gave up mining to be a pioneer publican and storekeeper at Ohinemutu, at Rotorua. He acquired land and property there, but after his wife died he returned to prospecting full-time.
Werahiko's first investigation of Te Aroha was in 1877, when he was ordered off by the local hapu. He returned in 1880 as the head of a prospecting party subsidized by the government. After finding gold, he was granted the Prospectors' Claim and, in due course, a reward, and for a time supervised its development. Investing in other claims, he traded in shares. When his discovery turned out to be a duffer, he explored other parts of the mountain, first having high hopes for the Tui portion but then, after four months of exploring over winter with the support of three other Maori, he announced the discovery of his New Find at Waiorongomai. Once again he acquired partners, mostly Paheka, and traded in shares, and for some time supervised the opening up of his new find.
Later, he was invited to prospect the King Country, but this did not eventuate. His last involvement in mining was at Karangahake. Because of the hardships of his prospecting at Te Aroha, he died at an early age, leaving a young second wife. His memory lived on, amongst Pakeha miners in particular, because he had the rare distinction for a prospector of being regarded as totally honest, and he was admired for succeeding when so many others had failed.
[Note: Especially when he first came to public attention, many Pakeha struggled with Hone Werahiko's name, which was recorded in a variety of incorrect forms, the worst example being Hoani Whaekareka. Even the warden at first gave his name as Hone Wharekino. Many Pakeha found it simpler to refer to him as 'Johnny the Maori'. In this paper, his name is given correctly throughout.]

SOULFLY will release its eleventh album, "Ritual", on October 19 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The follow-up to 2015's "Archangel" was produced, recorded and mixed by Josh Wilbur (KILLER BE KILLED, LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA). Cover artwork was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH, SODOM). Additional booklet art was handled by Marcelo Vasco (SLAYER, HATEBREED, KREATOR), who also handled the package design. The album features multiple guests, including Randy Blythe (LAMB OF GOD) and Ross Dolan (IMMOLATION).
The first single from the disc, "Evil Empowered", can be streamed below.
Comments guitarist/vocalist Max Cavalera: "I am really stoked to be working again with two of my favorite artists, Eliran Kantor and Marcelo Vasco!
"The 'Ritual' artwork is very mystic and captures the vibe of the album perfectly. For this one, we really tried to retain the groove of early SOULFLY as well as my love for the heavy, fast stuff I'm into, like death and black metal and some hardcore.
"Working with Josh Wilbur for SOULFLY this time around has been amazing. He's a huge fan and added a lot to the record. I would fight for the fast songs and he would always push me to add more groove. I think in the end we created a really cool mix of songs that covers a lot of ground in my career. Let the Ritual begin!"
Wilbur adds: "Before I had ever recorded a record, in my formidable years, Max released the holy trinity that was (at least to me) 'Chaos A.D.', 'Roots' and 'Soulfly'. I wanted to make a record that captured what I loved about those when I was growing up! Those records inspired me and introduced me to heavy metal. Fast forward to now and I was given the opportunity to make the record I wanted as a fan! So I set up some mics, recorded some riffs, we banged on some galvanized metal, roto toms, djembes, and anything else we could get, then I told Max to 'BRING DA SHIT'!"

Have fun designing a new bathroom vanity! On the opposite finish of the spectrum from the antique vanity is the trendy vanity.

Examples of these could possibly be; shiny fabrics, unique rugs, metallic, bronze, chrome, glass and the like. The other is true for colors similar to red, yellow and the like as they tend to make the room seem extra intense and intimate. Painting the ceiling with lighter colours than the walls is one thing you also have to remember. You should also be capable to blend sure colors.

Quantum Interviews, Quantum Personalities
19 August 2013 / David Auerbach / 5 Comments
I don't know much about quantum mechanics, other than not to trust what most people say about it–and to avoid using it as an analogy.
So while much of Elegance and Enigma: The Quantum Interviews is opaque to me, the sheer bizarreness of quantum physics and the informal presentation makes for some pretty interesting moments even for the neophyte.
I've spent enough time around scientists and engineers to be fascinated by certain personality and cognitive traits that are far more ubiquitous among them than in the general population. Analytic mindsets, obsessions with problem-solving, taxonomizing, and other traits fuel the work ethic of engineers.
How they apply it to more abstract and unsolvable questions, however, can vary quite a bit. And that shows in the book. Just contrast Caslav Brukner's post-Cold War individualism–
BRUKNER: Totalitarianism was the biggest tragedy of the twentieth century. With lasting danger of an increase in the influence of collectivist ideologies, it is important for us to continue to study them so we can learn how to avoid them, or offer resistance to them when they are on the rise, or diminish their consequences when they get to power. Thus far, I've had the opportunity to be exposed to three ideologically different social structures: Tito's socialism, with "workers' self-management" as a propaganda façade for continuing a one-party political monopoly; Milosevic's brutal and manipulative nationalism; and finally, Austria's liberal democracy, with its everyday latent-but-pretty-obvious xenophobic political reality. In reaction to these experiences, I have developed a firm conviction about the importance of independence and self-reliance, and about the importance of opposing external interference with one's own beliefs and desires and with the beliefs and desires of those we love and care about.
–with American Chris Fuchs' golly-gee-whiz subjectivism–
FUCHS: One of my favorite movies of all time is Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. If you ask me, the message of quantum theory's necessary violations of the Bell inequalities is the same as the message of this movie—that our actions matter indelibly for the rest of the universe (pluriverse).
Quantum theory on the other hand, we Quantum Bayesians believe, carries the principle of independent existence to a much more satisfactory level. Wigner and his friend really do have separate worlds, modulo their acts of communication—and so of all physical systems one to another. It signals the world's plasticity; it signals a "wonderful life." With every quantum measurement set by an experimenter's free will, the world is shaped just a little as it participates in a kind of moment of birth.
Quantum Bayesianism, as far as I can tell, is a blatantly idealistic metaphysics that, instead of removing the observer from the quantum picture, as de Broglie, Bohm, Everett, and many others have tried to do, shunts more of the world into the observer. I have to admire the audacity. Fuchs' work has been influential in quantum computation as well, so the metaphysics aren't a gating factor on its usefulness. But Fuchs' tone grates on me, because it seems to minimize the sad truth that many people's worlds are filled with frustration, sadness, and suffering–much of it not by their own doing. Even if Fuchs' views turn out to be 100 percent right, I will remain more sympathetic to Brukner's attitudes.
Brukner does, however, approve of the move to an information-theoretical approach, disagreeing with the more hard-headed contributors that acts of measurement can simply be factored out of quantum mechanics.
The most sarcastic phrasing of the hard-headed view was John Stewart Bell:
BELL: What exactly qualifies some physical systems to play the role of 'measurer'? Was the wave function of the world waiting to jump for thousands of millions of years until a single-celled living creature appeared? Or did it have to wait a little longer, for some better qualified system … with a Ph.D.?
Unfortunately, I cannot judge how convincing Brukner's rejoinder is:
BRUKNER: Once we accept that probabilities are irreducible, the role of the observer is explicitly introduced into the theory. This is for the simple reason that she, by choosing the measuring device, can decide on the basis of her free will which measurement context will be realized in the actual run of the experiment. But due to the randomness of the individual quantum outcome, she cannot influence which particular outcome will occur in the chosen context. Zeilinger put the point this way: "The observer has a qualitative but not a quantitative influence on reality." Therefore, the observer in quantum mechanics has a participatory role in forming reality.
By contrast, in a theory describing observation-independent reality, like in classical physics, the observer has only a passive role, as her actions can always be interpreted as revealing the values of physical quantities that all coexist and are independent of which experiment is actually performed. The reader may object that my explanations are anthropocentric and that I overestimate the role of the observer. Let me be clear: I am not saying that quantum theory makes sense, or is valid, only if observers are there. The "measurement context" can be induced by the prevalent basis of the environment surrounding the quantum system, without invoking any observers. Yet the mere possibility that an observer can choose the measurement context, isolating the quantum system from environmental interactions that select a preferred basis, is exactly what gives her a fundamental role in the act of observation. This is a major intellectual step forward over naive classical realism.
So even though Brukner and Fuchs are broadly in sympathy, Brukner does not generalize from the theory to Frank Capra.
The sensible-sounding Jeffrey Bub says something similar:
BUB: This is, in broad outline, what I would call an information-theoretic interpretation of the nonclassical features of quantum probabilities, in the sense of Shannon's notion of information, which abstracts from semantic features of information and concerns probabilistic correlations between the physical outputs of an information source and a receiver. On this view, what is fundamental in the transition from classical to quantum physics is the recognition that information in the physical sense has new structural features, just as the transition from classical to relativistic physics rests on the recognition that space-time is structurally different than we thought. This seems to me the interpretive program that makes the best sense of quantum mechanics.
And indeed, the more optimistic of the book's contributors seem to see an information-theoretical perspective as one that helps make some metaphysical sense of quantum mechanics.
The more hard-headed sorts, whether physicists like GianCarlo Ghirardi, mathematicians like Shelly Goldstein or philosophers like Tim Maudlin and Guido Bacciagaluppi, want to get rid of the seemingly fuzzy concept of an observer/measurer/agent and be left with something closer to physics as it has been known, where the math is clearly a modeling tool used to explain things in the world. Even the Everett many-worlder David Wallace falls into this category. (At one point, I believe Wallace calls the Everett many-worlds interpretation the most conservative interpretation of quantum mechanics, which should give some idea of how big these problems are.)
Lee Smolin splits the difference by accepting the information-theoretical approach but then citing it as evidence that quantum mechanics isn't fundamental anyway.
The peculiar thing is that the idealists seem to be at odds with the Platonists. That is, the ones who want a full-fledged, independent world of mathematico-physical Forms are the ones who do not want the observer to play any part in the construction of that world of Forms. The laws are there, we observe and see what happens, and from empirical reality and deep thinking we come up with a picture of the World of Forms. But material reality is still the interface, and our acts are fundamentally acts of observation. So Ghirardi, Goldstein, and Maudlin seem to adopt what is more or less a materialist-Platonist view in practice, if not in theory.
Whereas the subjectivists like Fuchs and Lucien Hardy and David Mermin believe that our minds play a part in forming the world prior to the set establishment of that apparent world-to-experience. Fuchs doesn't present his philosophical views in enough detail for me to figure out exactly what constitutes "world-shaping" or "plasticity" (or else I don't have enough of the context to infer it), but it seems fairly clear that he wants a world of constant becoming in which we actively play a part.
And yet this ironically restricts our ability to know the entire cosmos, because in Fuchs' view the entire cosmos doesn't "exist" in the conventional sense–it's a "pluriverse." It's not just subjective idealism; it's nearly myopic idealism–and perhaps not so optimistic after all? Fuchs identifies himself as an American pragmatist, but his pragmatists of choice are later William James and Richard Rorty, not Charles Sanders Peirce–in other words, pragmatism at its mushiest.
David Mermin, who is more cautious than Fuchs or Hardy, makes this cryptic statement:
MERMIN: In my two papers, I used the phrase "has physical reality" to mean "can be accounted for in a physical theory," particularly when I insisted that conscious experience has reality, but not physical reality….
"Physical reality" is not, as I seem to have implicitly maintained fifteen years ago, just a subset of "reality." Neither is contained in the other. Conscious awareness belongs to reality and not to physical reality, but correlation belongs to physical reality and not to reality.
Is this a variant of Donald Davidson's anomalous monism, where consciousness lacks clear correlative properties?
And there are some cautious sorts like Wojciech Zurek and Anthony Leggett who both say that the story is simply too incoherent to take sides, even though their research approaches drastically differ. The endearing New Yorker Daniel Greenberger (he's been at City College since 1963!) goes even further and says we most likely don't know much of anything about anything. They lack the intuition and/or the desire to take one or more unpalatable metaphysical bullets over others:
Nonlocality ("spooky action at a distance")
Tychic indeterminism/probabilism
Advanced action (backwards causation)
Arbitrary fine-tuned kludges (in de Broglie-Bohm and maybe GRW)
Multiple worlds of one form or another
Observer-dependence
I couldn't precisely map which of these apply to which interpretations, but they are the intuitive concepts that one or more of the interviewees repeatedly appeal to as problematic, repellent, unacceptable, or incoherent. But not one is rejected by everyone and each is embraced by at least one. (I think only Leggett goes for advanced action, which Huw Price also has shown an interest in elsewhere.)
As far as I can tell, and here I am going out on a limb as far as the limits of my understanding, the information-theoretical approach is the most effective giant-killer, sweeping away a fair number of the above points while embracing and exacerbating the final two.
Well, information is a funny thing. I worked with it formally for years and still do, and it's remarkable how much you can do with it without even being able to define what information is. Well, no, but the definition is pretty darn prosaic: information is bits arranged in sequences which can be analyzed and manipulated mathematically. The immediate question everyone has: "information to whom?" No one in particular. Or, rather, anyone who's willing to call it information. And so the relation of "information" to "reality" is still pretty fuzzy, or at least as fuzzy as the relation of mathematics in general to reality. Is it just a new and improved modeling tool?
Wojciech Zurek, who has worked on the information-theoretic side but hesitates to make any metaphysical pronouncements, still makes a methodological prediction:
ZUREK: This separation of information from states was tenable in classical physics, but it breaks down in quantum theory—it breaks down in our universe. I think that by now many people recognize how central information is to quantum physics. On a technical level, this started with Heisenberg and his indeterminacy principle. But even with all that we know now about the interplay of quantum physics and information (including Bell's theorem, the no-cloning theorem, quantum error correction, and so on), I sense that the real mystery is still barely touched.
But conventional Platonism doesn't deal well with information as a fundamental ontological category, since information would have to instantiate Formal Reality, not constitute it. So my feeling is that as long as information is seen to be fundamental, the Platonists are going to lose and the subjective idealists will win–from an intuitive standpoint if nothing else.

Fascinating. I knew Mermin – first met him forty years ago this summer! – and always thought he was really smart. Have you read "A Question of Physics"? From around 1979, with a great interview with Wheeler. I'm not sure how much has changed. Mod you know Bas Van Frasen's stuff?

Really good overview; thanks! I'm also grateful for the Mermin quote, and for the link to the SEP entry on Anomalous Monism.
P.S. From a logical standpoint (I'm not the grammar police, IOW), "more ubiquitous" makes no sense, because ubiquitous means "present everywhere." You probably meant to say "far more common." :)
David Auerbach (Post author)
Guilty as charged! But in my defense, ubiquitous is always used figuratively as a hyperbolic extension of "widespread" (unless you're talking about God, I guess), and one of its given definitions is "seeming to be everywhere." A thing can *seem* more to possess a quality than another thing, so even though the usage is frowned upon, it doesn't bother me as much as "unique" when adverbs of degree are applied.

very interesting. hadn't thought there might be a sense in which platonism *wasn't* idealist.

The Norwottuck People of the Connecticut River Watershed
This story is a part of a Native American Blog Series in observance of National Native American Heritage Month.
During the peak of fall in September, visitors to the Fort River Division of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge time-traveled to the ancient Native American heritage site of the Norwottuck people (who belong to the Algonquin Native American culture). Travelers stepped back 8,000 years to discover that many Native tribes lived and thrived in the Connecticut River watershed for thousands of years. Guests excavated in a sand-box archaeological dig, viewed projectile point arrowheads used for subsistence hunting and fishing by Native Americans thousands of years ago, and learned about the 1630's contact period of European settlers. Visitors finished their journey into current day, knowing that Native American Nations still embrace their culture and practice their sovereignty in Massachusetts and across the United States. Walking along the bridge, visitors realized that beneath them lay thousands of years of important history that lives on in the culture of Native American Tribes today.
As the Jr. Native American Liaison for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, I was able to tell this story and share my Native culture in the process. In late May, I joined the Student Conservation Association internship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service having never been to the Northeast before. Coming from the prairie and Black Hills of South Dakota, Massachusetts was a long way from home. However, I was passionate to serve Tribes in whatever capacity I could. I now work with Southeastern and Northeastern Native American Tribes through my position.
As an Oglala Lakota-Sioux Native American, I sought the opportunity to learn more about Tribes closer to the Atlantic. Researching technical reports of the Fort River Division creation (containing archaeological information), New England Tribes encyclopedia (Bruce, 1978), and "Historic and Archaeological Resources of the Connecticut River Valley" (Galvin, Massachusetts Historical Commission), I learned the rich past and present of Tribes along the Connecticut River. Using creativity, passion, and accredited resources, I designed a Native American Storybook of the Norwottuck, Algonquin people. The 28-page story was displayed on kiosks along the Fort River Division 1.2 mile loop trail throughout the month of September.

On Saturday, September 16th, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invited the public to join them in activities to go along with the Storybook. Through partnership with Tim Binzen, the Service's Native American Liaison for the Northeast and Southeast, and Eric Johnson, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst Archaeologist, projectile point artifacts were on display for visitors. Children, parents, students, and trail-walkers alike, got to hold an arrowhead dating back 8,000 years.

Later in the month, the External Affairs office of the Northeast Regional office of the Fish and Wildlife Service also visited the Storybook Trail at Fort River and each individual had the opportunity had to read a page from the story of Keme and Sokanon.
I hope that reading that storybook on that sunny day in September changed Fort River visitors, including my own colleagues at the agency. Student Conservation Association intern, Ben Whittlebee, remarked, "When I hold this arrowhead, I feel a little bit closer to the people who lived here before me. It's like having a piece of them with me."

Tim Binzen mentioned that all projectile points tell a story of the people. These points were shaped differently and specifically for different uses and those methods were passed down from generation to generation. Christine Eustis, also a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee and visitor to the Storybook, mentioned that she had learned so much. She looks at wigwams and tepees with a different perspective and she understands more of the Native Americans of this area. Several visitors can now identify jewelweed and pokeberry, plants that were and are important to New England Tribes.
Keme (thunder in Algonquian language) and Sokanon (rain in Algonquian language) are fictional brother and sister from the Norwuttuck Tribe in the Storybook, who explain their story of seasons, cultural activities, and timeline events of their home.
The Storybook concept is designed for children, but we can all learn from it. At the end of the story, Sokanon and Keme discuss the sovereign nations recognized in the United States today. In fact, there are 567 federally recognized Tribes in the United States. including nine Tribes in Massachusetts, seven of which are state-recognized.
The story says, "Communities are led by a Sachem (similar to a Chief, President, or Chairman). In 1885, English colonists mentioned that it was common for a woman to lead a village by virtue or hereditary descent as sachem. This holds true today for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, as Cheryl Andrews-Maltais is the Chairwoman, leader of the tribe". The sister, Sokanon, goes on to say, "I'd like to be Sachem when I grow up". The brother, Keme, responds, "I think you'd make a great leader, numis (sister in Algonquian)!"
I enjoyed learning about the Native Tribes of the Connecticut River watershed. My experience sharing the story with children and adults in Hadley was so incredible. If you missed the Storybook walk, you can still read Keme and Sokanon's story through this download: Norwottuck Storybook

My life after the internship: Adam McNeil
This year, we checked in with some of our past interns to find out what came next after their internship ended. Did they stay with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or land another sweet job? We hope they put those skills to good use! Look out for these stories to find out about their life after the internship. Today, meet Adam McNeil. Below, find out where he started with us and where he is now.
I'm a history student from Winter Park, Florida and I attend Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida. My prior role with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was as an environmental education and interpretive intern at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia, through the Career Discovery Internship Program in the summer of 2012. Last summer, I went through the National Park Service Academy to become an interpretive intern at Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park in Hodgenville, Kentucky. This summer, I am the museum intern through the Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program at Lowell National Historical Park in Lowell, Massachusetts. Though my last two summers have not been with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the foundation for my service and where I have come in the past few years all began with the internship at Chincoteague and I am a better man from my experiences. Who knows, I may come back and work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after graduation!

The winner of the video competition "Leopard's Leap," organised by the Far Eastern Leopards autonomous non-profit organisation and VTB United League (basketball), will receive the opportunity to visit the League's mascot prototype — the Far Eastern leopard Buba. The promotion is part of the 2015/16 season playoffs. The video competition welcomes competitors from all over the world.
To participate, you must make a short video of you performing "a leopard's leap" and upload it to your social network account with the hashtag #leopardshot (#бросоклеопарда). The leap can be a basketball dunk, for example, or any other leap, roll, throw, twirl, etc. you can dream up. The only condition is that the video must be specially made for the competition and somehow be related to the leopard — it could be a leopard's image, a caption #leopard's leap or a phrase by the protagonist.
The filmmakers who submit the most original, creative and popular videos will be sent an invitation to a match in the VTB United League-2015/16 finals where they will contend for the main prize — a trip to Land of the Leopard National Park in the Far East, sponsored by Far Eastern Leopards autonomous non-profit organisation.
VTB United League is now part of the promotion: the most impressive and memorable dunk in the game will be announced during the playoffs as "the leopard's leap."
The VTB United League began working with Far Eastern Leopards in 2015. Some playoff matches in the 2014/15 season were held as part of the Return of the Leopard promotion. The League is now the "Keeper" of a predator from Land of the Leopard named Buba after an online vote. In Buba's honour, the League's official mascot was also named Buba.

Any ideas?

A: input$comp_type[2] == 'something' produces NA if you don't have at least 2 items selected. So your if statement return an error.
Also, I try not using render on observe.
I modify your example to use a eventReactive which is easier.
As I didn't get anything about your if conditions, I just wrote some random ones to let you see how I would deal with that.

ui <- shinyUI(

Pennsylvania could see 2 to 4 inches of rain from Florence
STATE COLLEGE — The remnants of Hurricane Florence are expected to reach Pennsylvania by midday Monday.
The National Weather Service says the storm could dump 2 inches to 4 inches of rain as it moves across Pennsylvania from southwest to northeast. Higher rainfall amounts are possible. Wind gusts could reach 30 mph.
Weather service meteorologist Paul Head in State College says most of the storm's impact will be felt in the north and west. He says there could be some small-stream flooding, but rivers are expected to stay within their banks.
The storm is expected to leave Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Step 1: To Do a Mini Lathe in 3 Minutes You Need!
In this instructables I'm going to tell you how to make a mini lathe with the drill with the main role of a hand electrical drill.
Step 2: First of All, We Have to Make a Bracing for the Drill.
It is good for foam plastic cutting, and shaping of the float.
Step 3: Small Size and Weight of the Lathe, Simple Construction and Easy Usage Make It Suitable Not Only for Foam Plastic Cutting, But Also Cutting of Small Wooden Bricks.
Step 4: The Third Stage of Manufacturing the Float Is Over!
The next stage is decoration of the float with the help of a hand made fixed-spool reel.
Make sure to NOT use your good drill.
Just like the drill presses used as milling machines, hand drills are meant for THRUST not for side load. for occasional use (like turning a quick pen body once a month) it should work just fine, but if you use this setup more than once a week, definitely look into upgrading to a "real" lathe...a piece of all-thread, two bronze bushings, and some 2x4's work admirably until your fun project turns into a hobby.

/*******************************************************************************
 * NOTE: For the LCD to work with this PIM, S1 must be either set to the PGX2
 * position or the appplication must be programmed in RUN mode and not DEBUG
 * mode.  PGX1 overlaps the LCD pins and in DEBUG mode, the PGX1 pins will be
 * used by the debugger.
 *
 * Also note that PGX2 is overlapped with D+ and D- so for USB applications,
 * DEBUG mode also can't be used as this will prevent the USB module from
 * gaining control over the D+ and D- lines required for communication.
 *
 * Thus for USB applications that want to use the LCD, debugging with this PIM

"What did you say?" I couldn't quite make out Spouse's words. My ears had been clogged since I'd taken a dozen or so laps underwater at the pool on our vacation a few days before.
"I think we should try candling your ears." Spouse exaggerated the words as if speaking to a deaf person.
But he was serious. My well meaning, health-food-nut husband who loves to buck the traditional system was always open to trying alternative methods. If you want proof, just re-read the "Shoving the Envelope" chapter in my book, Too Blessed to be Stressed, when he Hiroshima'ed our home by juicing a bushel of garlic.
So for lack of any better ideas, I allowed him to pull out the 8-inch "candles" he had purchased years before, stick them in my ears, and light 'em up.
Before you think we've altogether lost our minds, let me inform you that candling is actually an ancient practice that is supposed to remove excessive ear wax. No kidding. Somebody a long, long time ago came up with the idea of creating "candles" of fabric impregnated with beeswax that when lit on the ends, supposedly create a vacuum that serves to soften and disintegrates errant ear wax clogging the ear canal.
Although my heart did skip a beat or two at this last admonition, I trust Spouse (most of the time) and was more than over not being able to hear the smoke alarm go off when dinner was ready. So a' candling we go.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. After 20 minutes of blowing warm crackling smoke into each ear, I could hear no better. In fact, it actually got worse. I think the candle heat must have melted the ear wax into into a solid cork.
I figured Doogie Houser had probably never seen anything like it before because he just got out of med school last week. "It's most likely singed hair follicles from candle smoke," I replied cheerily.
His little freckled face looked confused.
So I tried to explain the legitimacy of the whole thing, but he couldn't stop shaking his head and muttering something that sounded like, "inconceivable." I wanted to tell him that that I saw that movie too and, "I don't think it means what you think it means" in a Spanish accent, but he seemed to be in a big hurry to exit the room.
Shortly afterwards I heard, through the closed door, a chorus of "What?" from the rest of the medical staff in the hall. Then a 12-year-old MA came in with an awesome little pressure washer gizmo and blasted those ear wax corks right out of there. I asked if I could borrow it to use on my driveway, but she didn't bite.
Life is such an adventure. Can't wait to see what's next!


This NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book celebrates one of the most important patriots in post-Revolutionary times. Most readers know Noah Webster for his dictionary masterpieces and his promotion of a living "American Language" that embraces words and idioms from all its immigrant peoples. But he was also the driving force behind universal education for all citizens, including slaves, females, and adult learners. Speaker of twenty languages, he developed the new country's curriculum, writing and publishing American literature, American history, and American geography. He published New York City's first daily newspaper. As editor, Webster conducted a study and linked disease with poor sanitation. He created the country's first insurance company, established America's first copyright law, and became America's first best-selling author.

I know what you're thinking. Another arepa recipe? Yes, and without a doubt there will be more to come since we eat lots and lots of arepas in Colombia. I can't remember where I learned this but a while back I heard someone say that there are at least 50 different types of arepas made in Colombia. I believe this is the fifth arepa recipe I have posted, 45 more to go!
Besides the arepa de huevo, these arepas boyacenses are one of my favorites because the all purpose flour gives them an unbelievable texture. They are made with cuajada, which is a very creamy, soft cheese, but since I can't find it here in the US, I just use Mexican queso fresco and they still come out delicious.
And here are the other arepa recipes I have here on the blog so far: Colombian arepas, arepa de huevo (egg stuffed arepa), arepas santandereanas (made with pork belly and cassava) and sweet corn arepas. Of course, that list will keep growing, so I hope you stay tuned until I post the next one!
In a large bowl mix the yellow pre-cooked cornmeal, all purpose flour, sugar and salt.
Add the 1½ cup (150 g) cuajada or queso fresco, melted butter and whole milk. Stir and knead well with your hands until you get a soft and smooth dough. If you notice that the dough is a bit dry you can add a little more milk.
Divide the dough into 7-8 portions of about 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in diameter. Shape each portion into a ball, then push the center with your thumbs to shape it into a small cup. Fill it with about 1-2 tbsp of cuajada or queso fresco, then close the edges in the center to seal it shut and shape it into a ball once again. Gently press the ball into a small arepa of about ½ inch (1.27 cm) thick.
Melt about 2 tbsp of butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat and grill the arepas for 4-5 minutes per side or until they're golden brown. Make sure to also grill the sides until they're golden brown. Serve immediately.
Hello. Thank you for the awesome recipe. Would I be able to cook these in the oven, instead of pan frying them ?.
Hi Jorge, arepas are always grilled so they can turn golden brown but since these are also made with all purpose flour, they might come out OK if you bake them instead. I have never made them that way but it might work for you.

OIC's Niamey Declaration calls for Kashmir settlement as per UNSC resolutions
ISLAMABAD: As another manifestation of its support to the cause, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) 47th Session of Council of Foreign Ministers, in its declaration, called for peaceful settlement of Kashmir dispute as per United Nations (UN) Security Council's resolutions.
Named as Niamey Declaration, the document was issued on the conclusion of the 47th Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) held in Niger on Saturday.
The document explicitly reiterated "the OIC's principled position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute for a peaceful settlement in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions," said a foreign office news release.
According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the inclusion of Jammu and Kashmir dispute in the Niamey Declaration – being an important part of the CFM's outcome documents – "was yet another manifestation of the OIC's consistent support to the Kashmir Cause."
Earlier on Saturday, the CFM also unanimously adopted a resolution reaffirming its strong support for the Kashmir cause and categorically rejected illegal and unilateral actions taken by India since 5 August 2019.
The resolution demanded India to "cancel the issuance of domicile certificates to non-Kashmiris" as well as other unilateral and illegal actions, including "Jammu & Kashmir Reorganization Order 2020", "Jammu & Kashmir Grant of Domicile Certificate Rules 2020", "Jammu and Kashmir Language Bill 2020" and amendments to the landownership laws.
Also rejecting the policies being pursued by the RSS-BJP regime, the 57 countries of the OIC asked India to refrain from taking any steps to alter the existing demographic structure of the disputed territory.
