From the 3rd century bc. Ancient Celtic religion, commonly known as Celtic paganism, comprises the religious beliefs and practices adhered to by the Iron Age people of Western Europe now known as the Celts, roughly between BCE and CE, spanning the La Tène period and the Roman era, and in the case of the Insular Celts the British and Irish Iron Age.

SEO (Search engine optimization) is simply "the use of search engines to draw traffic to a web site. It is the technique of attaining a higher ranking in search engines and directories via changes to a site to make it more search engine compatible". It is sometimes referred to more generally as search engine marketing, but in fact SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is just one facet of search engine marketing.
SEO specialists or "search engine optimizers" have sprung up to fill the need for these services over the past 8+ years. Most search engine optimizers will work either directly with the site administrator or with their web site designer to alter the site's code and content to ensure it gets the exposure it deserves in the most popular search engines and directories. The key to a successful SEO campaign is to find a specialist with a good track record, in an industry plagued with inexperienced and unethical providers.
Companies are spending tens of thousands of dollars on online and offline advertising, including banner ad, Pay Per Click (PPC) and viral marketing campaigns, so one could be forgiven for assuming that these companies do not need free traffic from the "organic" search engine listings.
However, by ignoring the most common method used by people browsing the Internet, these companies are sacrificing an enormous opportunity to attract more traffic to their sites. After all, brick and mortar companies don't refuse to put a sign up in front of their businesses just because they have put large amounts of money into promoting themselves via television advertising. Online companies, likewise, should not disregard optimizing their sites for search engines - a relatively inexpensive exercise - simply because they have put large amount of money into other marketing strategies.
Web site is a very large expense for these companies, ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To invest such a massive amount of time, money and effort into an online presence and not ensure it can be found is like constructing a storefront without any doors.
It is obvious that companies need to invest in search engine optimization services to ensure their sites are made more search engine compatible and therefore visible to their target markets.


That all may experience the love of God!
In August of 2016, Pastor Robert asked us to form a Vision Team to guide the next steps of the church, specifically in regard to using the proceeds from the Salt Grass land sale.
In February of 2017, we formed a team and began to meet. Our team had church members of all ages and backgrounds. We formed sub groups to study different ministry needs and engaged about forty people in the process. We met for a day and a half in August of 2017 with Brian Brandt of Core Insights. This meeting served as the starting point for the Strategic Plan that was formalized by church vote in December of 2017.
In 2017, we decided to budget $800,000 to further the ministry of the church. We held 5 Wednesday night meetings in August and September to present the recommendations and prepare the church to vote on them. When the church voted in December, it was near unanimous!
The next year our Vision Team focused on eleven key initiatives that encompassed creating new ministry teams, educating our congregation, engaging our senior adults, and several other areas. We saw great success throughout the course of the year and have regrouped in 2019 to have dedicated focus on just the five areas of: establishing the college ministry, monitoring our success matrix, succession planning for paid staff, reaching 25-35 year olds, and strengthening our programming for our senior adults.
This process has helped us realize our vision as a church, our mission as a group of believers, and the core values that make us who we are. We hope you'll join us as we love people by sharing the TRANSFORMED life in Christ.
Our ministry involvement has increased from less than 8% to 39% of our regular attendance. That means there are 175 people serving on almost 30 teams at Colonial Hills.
We've created two new discipleship opportunities off-campus for those who have trouble making it to Sunday School. Those small groups meet in people's homes throughout the week.

Q: Alphabetize rows in a CSV File in Python I have a CSV file which was generated from a list of words similar to the following
moth
dog
zebra
elephant
yak
horse
ant
moose
snake
walrus
lion
turtle
kangaroo

I need to sort this list alphabetically. What is the best way to do that?
I tried putting this list into a CSV file and reading past Stack Overflow treads on sorting CSV files in Python. However, these strategies do not seem to work.
Please note that the solution does not need to be in Python, it can also be in R.
Thank you!

A: You could use sorted/sort depending on your need. For string it will sort lexicographically. Below is the example
sorted("""moth

Click to embiggen.While sitting on the street at a bar in Sayulita, Mexico I looked up and was reminded of my love affair with power lines and how they intersect our view and our worlds.
We are a generation who has grown up accustomed to the idea that our view will have lines running across it, disecting our world into tiny little parts and seperating the sky from the skyline. I find myself focusing on those very power lines making them the focus of the image and the world around them the little segments they are.
I feel my winter project coming on.

An Edmonton doctor is urging those with chronic health conditions to stay connected with their doctors after a national survey found nearly half of Canadians with a long-term diagnosis have not visited their physician during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A national survey conducted by health-care company Novo Nordisk found 44 per cent of Canadians with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, have not visited a doctor in-person during the ongoing global pandemic. Thirty-eight per cent of those surveyed said they are avoiding the health-care system and 19 per cent said they have not visited their doctor either in-person or virtually.

Dr. Daniel Shafran, a physician who specializes in internal medicine at Edmonton's Baker Clinic and the Misericordia Hospital, said that he has seen a drop in attendance at his practices. Working primarily with patients with diabetes, he said those living with chronic conditions need to weigh the risks of COVID-19 against the risks of not treating their disease appropriately.
"A lot of patients are uncomfortable about venturing out, particularly if they have to use transit or sit in a waiting room. So, they are opting or requesting for virtual care or phone calls in lieu of an in-person visit," said Shafran "There are some things that can be adequately managed over the phone, or through a virtual appointment … but not everything."
Shafran noted there are certain indicators of worsening diseases that are much more difficult to watch for through video or phone calls. For example, he said diabetics often have issues with their feet that he can view through pictures but it is much easier to monitor in a clinic. He said physicians are able to assess if virtual or in-person care is appropriate for their patients.
He noted that there are measures being taken on transit and in health clinics to stop COVID-19 from spreading.
"You lose that sort of human element, that relationship-building, that's really important between a clinician and his or her patient. (Physicians) use some of the subtlety of the interaction to truly get a sense of how people are doing," said Shafran.
He said if those living with health issues continue avoid their doctor they could develop complications and health risks that are urgent.
"I had a consult about a patient who missed her annual checkup last year," said Shafran. "So now we're coming in on almost two years since her last appointment and her blood sugar average is almost double where it should be … so now we are looking at our more aggressive treatments because things are more out of control. And there's a higher risk of complications when you bring in more aggressive treatments."
Shafran also noted most prescriptions only last a year, so many people may not have access to preventative medicine. He said those with underlying health conditions are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine and said they should book an appointment as soon as possible.

To empower
Cloud Heroes
Buttonwood was formed in 2012 when cloud was compelling but lacked the maturity to truly disrupt enterprise IT. Benefits relating to increased agility were offset by complex consumption methods, poor operational control and the lack of financial transparency.
At Buttonwood, we thrive on the disruptive nature of cloud, but we rail against proprietary access methods that result in vendor-lock.
The team at Buttonwood have worked to develop the necessary products to help build and secure the hybrid enterprise with cloud choice, financial governance and operational control.
Buttonwood aims to eliminate the cost and complexity associated with hybrid cloud architectures by focusing on open standards, beautiful design and radical simplicity!
Radical Simplicity
We have an unrelenting focus on simplifying cloud consumption through seamless integration and beautiful design.
We provide the enterprise with full visibility and control of cloud services at financial and operational levels.
We are vendor agnostic. We believe that success will only be achieved through unwavering independence.
We built the Buttonwood Cloud Exchange to solve problems as they presented through the lens of the enterprise.
Creating young Cloud Heroes
with Tech2Kids
Less Australians are completing ICT degrees, yet thousands of new jobs are created in the industry each year. Talk about a talent gap. And it's not just about work opportunities. Now, more than ever, tech skills are day-to-day life skills.
Cloud Heroes take ownership of cloud and its challenges with confidence and integrity. Today you have helped to equip young Australians to join you in the cloud and contribute to the industry.
Tech 2 Kids is starting at the grass roots, creating a level playing field by giving all kids access to learn about technology. Putting technology tools in children's hands now to help fill that gap in the future.
Buttonwood's co-founders represent the yin and the yang of the talent and ingenuity that was required to make the Buttonwood Cloud Exchange a reality. Allan King brings the infrastructure expertise while his collaborator Damien Jolly has the software engineering background. Both are IT veterans with more than 23 years' experience.
In 1998, Allan launched the successful systems integration company, Infront, which saw early success in the emerging markets of enterprise storage, data protection and virtualisation. Today, Infront is a recognised leader in hybrid IT with many local and regional awards.
When cloud first began to disrupt IT, Allan believed that organisations would need help navigating the complexities of cloud. Damien, a Solutions Architect was intrigued by the challenge of building a 'brokerage company' in an emerging market.
So, Buttonwood was born!
The name Buttonwood was chosen to honour the success of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In 1792, 24 Brokers signed an agreement to form the worlds first exchange. This agreement was signed under a Buttonwood tree.
Allan and Damien are always learning from new trends, which helps them with their unrelenting focus on to simplify the innovation of cloud and develop software that will better serve the enterprise.

New breast cancer screening guidelines released
By: health enews Staff
On Oct. 20, 2015, the American Cancer Society released new breast cancer screening guidelines after completing a review of the latest medical research. The updated guidelines state the following recommendations:
Screening mammograms should begin at age 45; this is five years later than the original recommendation of age 40
Women between the age of 45-54 should be screened annually
Those over 55 can transition to screenings every other year or have the opportunity to continue screening annually
Mammograms should continue as long as women are in good overall health and have a life expectancy of more than 10 years
Clinical breast examinations where a doctor or nurse feels for lumps in the breast are not recommended for women who have no symptoms. Previously, these examinations were recommended annually.
"For women of all ages at average risk, screening was associated with a reduction in breast cancer mortality of approximately 20 percent, although there was uncertainty about quantitative estimates of outcomes for different breast cancer screening strategies in the United States," wrote researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Dr. Heidi Memmel, a breast surgeon with Advocate Medical Group in Park Ridge, Ill., believes that every woman should have a choice about whether or not they want to get a mammogram at the age of 40 because early detection is so critical.
"What everyone agrees on is that mammograms save lives," says Dr. Memmel, who is also a breast cancer survivor. "Every person is very different and should consult with their physician about what makes the most sense for them given their risk factors."
The American Cancer Society expects that approximately 231,000 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2015 and over 40,000 individuals will die from the disease this year.
"Multiple studies have shown that mammograms beginning at age 40 have been shown to save lives, and this is the only screening test that has been shown to reduce mortality from breast cancer," says Dr. Memmel.
To learn more about breast health, visit Stories of the Girls.

I am over age 55 and was diagnosed as Stage II IDC. I went for regular mammograms annually and never had any issues. If I had chosen to wait another year, I fully believe I would have been diagnosed as Stage IIII… I personally believe that all women over the age of 55 should receive a 3D mammogram annually.
Theresa Frachalla October 21, 2015 at 11:17 am · Reply
So, based on these new guidelines, I'm guessing insurance companies will not cover mammograms until age 45. Which will make it expensive and impossible for all women 40 and over to receive this screening. And, that will result in less "early detection" and likely a higher mortality rate. Scary! Sometimes, I feel like we're going backwards as a developed nation.

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer at 72; she lived to be 90. How does anyone know when you are 10 years from your passing? Upsetting when an organization including the government can determine my death.

I would like to hear what evidence these new guidelines are based on.

The product Tec-Fort 750 ml is discontinued.
Tec-Fort 750 ml is a ready-to-use broad spectrum vegetable-based insecticide with particularly useful results for cannabis growers, since it safely eliminates a wide range of insect pests that damage crops, including White Fly, Thrips, Aphids, Scale-bugs, ants and beetles, without leaving any toxic residue.
Tec-Fort is active ingredient is natural pyrethrin, derived from the dried flowers of the Chrysanthemum plant (Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium) using CO2 extraction technology, ensuring a clean, residue-free, non-toxic product. Tec-Fort's formula also contains natural potassium soap both as an insecticide and to improve leaf coverage by reducing surface tension.
Tec-Fort is sold ready-mixed and does not need to be diluted. Spray directly onto both sides of the leaves in low-light conditions, Tec-Fort works by contact, so ensure full coverage of the plant. Re-apply every 7-10 days as needed.
Pyrethrin is included in the list of EC Regulation 1488/97, Annex II, Part B, so its use is permitted in organic farming, also having a wide range of uses in integrated farming.


Roughly four months ago, we saw the release of a new major version of Microsoft's Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server, version 8.0.0.3. Last week, Microsoft released a minor version, dubbed version 8.0.1.1 that addresses a couple of issues you might experience with version 8.0.0.3.
The team fixed an issue that admins might experience when launching the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server Admin Console on Japanese version of Windows.
Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server's User Portal is an additional component that allows end-users to make changes to their on-premises MFA registrations in a web-based environment. The User Portal is available in several languages and offers end-users a selection of languages for text messages, phone calls and other authentication-related settings.
The team fixed an issue with retaining the selected language in the User Portal.
While the above fixes could be classified as minor fixes, the team reports that they've fixed other minor issues in Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server as well.
You must upgrade MFA Server and Web Service SDK before upgrading the User Portal or AD FS adapter. Read the guidance in the How to Upgrade section in this blogpost for more information.
You can download Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server 8.0.1.1 here.
The download weighs 128.2 MB.
This is version 8.0.1.1 of Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server.
It was signed off on July 26, 2018.
Thank you for the post, I tried updating as you outlined https://dirteam.com/sander/2016/04/06/azure-multi-factor-authentication-server-reaches-version-7-0-0-9/, but I didn't find any executable (.msi) for the Multi-Factor Authentication Mobile App Web Service.
Any ideas how to upgrade that part?
Currently, Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server and Azure MFA (as-a-Service) are completely different products and systems. There is no overlap between the two products or systems in terms of configuration or management, only in licensing and functionality.
Where MFA Server was designed for on-premises strong authentication, Azure MFA was designed for cloud-based strong authentication. These lines have blurred significantly when the AD FS adapter was introduced for MFA Server on-premises, as this enabled many Conditional Access-like, cloud-oriented scenarios. Likewise, Azure MFA now also offers an AD FS adapter on Windows Server 2016 and an NPS add-on for RADIUS strong authentication, encroaching on MFA Server's traditional turf.
Is it possible to upgrade from v6.1 to v8.0.1. According to MS support the upgrade should be 6.x to 7.x and than 7x to 8.x.
What happens to users who are already using the Mobile App after the upgrade to 8.x? do they need to re-register the app after the upgrade or it will continue working without having to do anything?
One of the interesting aspects of MFA Server version 8 is that its installation file no longer contains the Mobile Portal installer. When upgrading from version 6.x to version 8.x, the absent components would not be upgraded, resulting in the unnecessary usage of an older version of the component. In the case of MFA Server 8.0 Azure AD is used to register and interact with Microsoft Authenticator app installations on mobile devices. However, MFA Server's previous Mobile Portal would remain on the system as a relatively old (MFA Server 7 was released in April 2016) and possibly vulnerable component.
Another issue might be backward compatibility between the components.
Version 7 and version 8 of MFA Server are based on .NET Framework version 4, while previous versions of MFA Server and MFA Server components were not.
Our recommendation would be to create a new MFA Provider in Azure AD, perform a new MFA Server v8.0 implementation and then copy over the phonefactor pfdata file from the existing MFA Server implementation. As a last step, decommission the previous MFA Server.
We have installed MFA Server as per this great article.
Currently we have two MFA Servers in HA configuration.
The two MFA servers both run Windows Server 2008 R2.
Now, we want to upgrade the Windows Server 2008 R2-based MFA Servers to Windows Server 2016 and also upgrade the MFA Server software to v8.0.
I know there is the upgrade article for MFA Server, but this is an in-place upgrade.
We want new Operating System and MFA Server version. What would the best approach then be?
Install 2 new secondary Windows Server 2016-based MFA Server v8.0 installations and join the current group?
Install 2 new secondary Windows Server 2016-based MFA Server installations, join the group and then perform in-place upgrades of the MFA Server software?
Install 1 new primary and 1 new secondary Windows Server 2016-based MFA Server v8.0 installations, not join the group, but do a restore of the PhoneFactor.pfdata?
I used MFA Server version 6.3 to write those articles on 4Sysops.
Assuming the MFA Servers run version 6.3, option 3 would be our recommended approach here.
It's the only scenario that allows for testing without impacting production, it allows for roll-back, and avoids any incompatibilities between Windows Server (.NET Framework) and MFA Server. As MFA Server v8.0 doesn't include a Mobile Portal installer anymore, this would also result in the cleanest end result.
The drawback of option 3 might be that it takes more time to complete, but it's all building steps, instead of remediation steps.
Can you clarify the user experience for upgrading from 7 to 8? I am currently running v7 have thousands of users who have already registered mobile devices with the Authenticator app.
1. When I move to version 8, will they have to re-register their mobile devices?
2. Is it just the registration of new mobile devices for Authenticator that's moved to the cloud, or is the entire mobile app service on-premises no longer necessary, and I can stop publishing that externally after upgrading to v8?
No, end-users do not have to re-register when you upgrade/move to MFA Server 8.
The service is moved to Azure. However, registrations are still recorded in the phonefactor.pfdata file on the MFA Server.

Kesha Teams Up With Sam Feldt For "Stronger"

Kesha Drops Belated 'Cannibal' Video
The pop star has released a lyric video for 10-year-old bop 'Cannibal.'
EDIT: The post has been updated with Kesha and Sam Feldt's "Stronger" visual. Check it out below.
Kesha is bringing in 2021 with a banger. The pop icon has teamed up with Dutch DJ Sam Feldt for a new single called "Stronger," which drops on January 29. She kindly shared a snippet of the video (there is no audio, unfortunately) and it finds the former K$ rocking dark locks. It's always a treat to get new music from the 33-year-old, but the prospect of a defiant club anthem is particularly mouth-watering given the doom and gloom associated with the hellscape of 2020/2021.
"Stronger" is also as good an opportunity as any for Kesha to return to pop radio. Despite releasing one of the best albums of 2020 (justice for High Road), the project failed to produce any hits. Which is infuriating because songs like "Little Bit Of Love" and "Tonight" are perfect pop songs. In addition to High Road, the hitmaker also blessed us with a smattering of stand-alone singles in 2020 including a cover of T. Rex's "Children Of The Revolution." See Kesha's announcement below.

Maybe it's time to stop talking about engagement like it is a little something we can slip into our lesson and then students will become engaged in their learning.
I've been thinking quite a bit about the nature of student engagement. I've been reading about strategies and techniques that will transform the disengaged into engaged super-learners. I've tried to rationalize it with the gaming culture.
In truth, I'm still thinking. I don't think there is an easy answer. Heck, I'm not sure there is an answer. The thing that keeps coming to the forefront of my head is that each student needs something personal.
There are no one-size fits all options.
In a classroom that is student-centered, what does it mean for the teacher to be prepared for class?
If students are the harbingers of learning that we/I promote them to be, the minute I rely on the lesson plan ideal, I've already lost sight of the ultimate autonomy of the student. What does it look like to be prepared to not be prepared?
In a room with twenty students who are looking to make independent learning choices, which we want them to do, once they've embraced that control, what does preparation for class look like?
When we transform assessment and evaluation to an on-going constant feedback loop, rather than a one-time test/exam or even mandated assignments, a teacher's time is spent purely on feedback preparation rather then lesson preparation. This, I think, is a major shift. Major.
If we change the dynamic of "handing in an assignment" to "taking an opportunity" doesn't that change the nature of how a teacher prepares themselves for class.
As I've moved away from a classic teacher-centered classroom, these questions keep floating to the top of my head. How do you get ready for a period of completely messy independent student-centred learning?
Comments Off on Who Doesn't Want Their Kid to Learn?
Who Doesn't Want Their Kid to Learn?
Too often I hear that what we do must be counted and numbered. Even and void of difference because of parents.
I have never talked to a parent, outlined my ideas, explained my thoughts on a student as a learner, and had them get upset.
In fact, I've seen more parents upset because of the randomness of numbers that teachers throw out to try to explain what goes on in the classroom.
Let's stop using parents as the reason for the need for standardized testing and lock-step building of courses and standards. It is not the parents.
Parents want their kids to learn, become curious, and enjoy the process of going to school. Parents want their child to achieve a mastery at the skills our society has deemed important. However, they are willing to listen.
I got a message from a parent today that wanted to thank me for changing what school was about for their son. She said, "I think it is because you focused less on the number that the number went up. _______ could just do the work and worry about building the skills." Her words. It blew me away when I got the message.
Now this is a parent that I communicated with regularly, kept her abreast with her son's progress. I didn't meet her on Parent's Night (one of my pet peeves), but instead developed an authentic working relationship. Our work, help her son learn. This is what parents are looking for.
If we stop focusing on the easiest, quickest way of informing parents of their child's performance, we do away with standard paperwork and report cards and instead foster open, working relationships, we move learning to the centre.
And, who doesn't want their kid to learn?
I just finished reading Tom Peters' book, "The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence" which he outlines a variety of small things that people can do in business and in life that make huge positive impact on customers and colleagues.
What are the little BIG things specific to education?
What are the little things we can do / improve on, as a system or as a professional to more greatly impact student learning?
This will be the beginning of a blog series…stay tuned.
To really move education, maybe it takes three phrases.
To change the landscape of a classroom, maybe it takes just three phrases.
To empower, engage, excite, energize a student it might just take three phrases.
This phrase is probably used often enough, but if given a different context it changes everything.
This is NOT a question about literary analysis or looking for the answer that is floating in your head.
This is when we ask and empower students to change the direction of their learning.
This is the question to ask teachers about school policies and culture. This is the question we ask parents about the way our school runs. This is a phrase of empowerment. True educational leaders empower learning, this phrase emphasizes it.
This phrase bursts the edu-bubble. No one has all the answers, it is together where we can move toward true learning environment. By asking this phrase to non-educators, we are provided with insights and ideas that build our collective abilities and environments.
Gratitude defines culture. It changes the nature of relationships. It is time that teachers, genuinely, appreciate what students bring into the classroom.
This phrase changes the nature of power. When a teacher is genuinely thankful for the talents, intelligence, and innovation of their students, learning changes.
It is about recognizing what each member of our community brings to the table. Gratitude defines intention.
This phrase is not to be taken lightly.
No matter your philosophy and pedagogy around learning, we all know true lessons come after mistakes are made. It is this phrase that encourages risk and diminishes the harsh fallout of risk-taking.
Teachers need to hear this. They need to know that trying something 'outside the norm', a little radical, or even completely unconventional is expected.
Students need to hear this. They need to know that learning comes from taking the shot. No matter the circumstances, making mistakes is always better for learning then perfection. We need to ensure our students know this.
This post was inspired, in part, by the section entitled Words, in Tom Peters' book, The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence.


"Editing Our Evolution" is an opportunity for the public to interact with MSU researchers as they learn more about and discuss new technologies and scenarios in gene editing.
As gene editing techniques become more refined, the possibility of editing the human genome is moving from science fiction to reality. What should we do with this power? Are you excited about the possibilities? Concerned about unknown consequences? Wondering who will decide how we as a society can maximize benefits from these scientific advances while minimizing the harm that might come from them?
These and many other questions will be tackled as Montana State University hosts this public outreach event as part of an educational series called Building with Biology.
MSU Academic Technology and Outreach was selected as one of 28 organizations nationwide to host this Building with Biology forum as a special opportunity for scientists and the public to interact directly and to learn from each other. The activities and conversations encourage people to share ideas and opinions about how they want to see these new technologies developed and adopted. Scientists, too, have the chance to listen to those views, share their own ideas, and to consider ways public comments can affect their research.
The Building with Biology project is funded by the National Science Foundation and led by the Museum of Science, Boston. ATO is an academic outreach department of MSU that offers continuing education, lifelong learning and outreach programs for the public.


Today the National Park Service employs over 5,800 active-duty military and veterans (28 percent of our workforce) in a wide array of careers. This is nothing new for us. The history of the National Park Service is intertwined with that of the United States Military. Ever since the establishment of Camp Sheridan in Yellowstone National Park in 1886, soldiers and veterans have played a continuous role in the protection and preservation of national parks.
U.S. Army soldiers assigned to parks before the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916 created a model for park management. They prevented the poaching of wildlife, fought wildfires, halted illegal grazing of livestock, and stopped the theft of timber and other natural objects. They built roads, trails, and other infrastructure. Their presence as official stewards of park lands brought a sense of law and order to the mountain wilderness.
Meet the staff and hear first-hand how their military experience influences their careers today and into the future.

Cheers and quiet reflection as US crowds mark Juneteenth
Published at 08:49 am June 20th, 2021
Terrence Floyd, brother of the late George Floyd who was killed by a police officer, speaks during the unveiling event of Floyd's statue, as part of Juneteenth celebrations, in Brooklyn, New York, US, June 19, 2021 Reuters
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday signed a bill making Juneteenth the 11th federally recognized holiday
Marching bands sparked loud cheers and quieter reflections about racial justice from crowds gathered on Saturday to mark Juneteenth as a new US federal holiday commemorating the end of the legal enslavement of Black Americans.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday signed a bill making Juneteenth the 11th federally recognized holiday, just over a year after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis ignited nationwide protests for racial justice and for ending police brutality.
"Juneteenth is a day of profound weight and profound power," Biden tweeted on Saturday.
Juneteenth, or June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when a Union general informed a group of enslaved people in Texas that they had been made free two years earlier by President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War.
"This particular Juneteenth is special because last year we were in the George Floyd protests, and this year we received some resolution," said Andrea Johnson of Atlanta, watching a parade under rainy skies near the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Outside the church where Martin Luther King, Jr preached and led protests for voting rights, equal access to public services, and social and economic justice, boisterous crowds cheered marching bands and their dancers, who competed with dramatic dips and twirls and were followed by Jeeps adorned with "Black Lives Matter" signs.
Many onlookers were joyful but some said declaring a national holiday might be a hollow victory for Blacks, many of whom still suffer racial injustice in the United States that can be remedied only through more substantial efforts by the federal government.
"There are mixed feelings for me," said Jermaine Washington, a marching band director who lives in Stone Mountain, Georgia, just 20 miles northeast of Atlanta.
"Oftentimes we see these types of events as a win when it's just pacification for the Black community instead of making sure there's an equal education or equitable housing," Washington said as he herded his young musicians at the Atlanta procession.

Stone Mountain, a tiny village that is holding its first ever Juneteenth celebration this year, stands in the shadow of a nine-story high bas-relief of Confederate figures carved into a sprawling rock face, the largest monument to the pro-slavery legacy of the US South.
Around the United States, concerts, rallies, art displays and lots of food were among events planned for Juneteenth.
Atlanta and its metro area have been celebrating Juneteenth for years. Richard Rose, president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP, said this year's designation of Juneteenth as a federal holiday resonates in the city often called the "cradle of the civil rights movement."
"While we celebrate, what we have to remember is that we must fight for our rights - in the ballot box, in the schools. And we have to stand up, city-to-city, across this nation," Rose said.
Across the country, many events will take place in-person, unlike last year, as the United States emerges from the coronavirus pandemic and more Americans get vaccinated.
Chicago's "March For Us" has a mile-long route in the city's business district known as the Loop.
"We celebrate Independence Day, so we would be remiss if we don't celebrate the day that people who were worth three-fifths of the person finally became free and started this journey towards equality," said "March for Us" organizer Ashley Munson.
Munson said that while strides have been made, recent incidents of police brutality toward Black people and legislation in several US states that curtails voting rights show that much work still needs to be done.
Among events planned in New York City is "Juneteenth in Queens," a week-long festival of virtual panel discussions set to conclude on Saturday with food trucks of jerk chicken and waffles, BBQ and more, as well as in-person live performances.
The initiative is spearheaded by Assembly member Alicia Hyndman, who sponsored legislation last year that made Juneteenth a state holiday.
One of the events taking place in Colorado is a flyover to honor the legacy of aviation pioneer Bessie Coleman, who in 1921 became the first African-American woman to earn a pilot's license.
Deneen Smith, a 17-year-old Black high school student and aspiring pilot, is inspired by Coleman's story.
"That's what Juneteenth means to me – independence and freedom for African Americans because of what our ancestors struggled through," Smith said.

How did the idea of the expedition came up?
A telephone call released the adrenaline for the adventure. It was a simple, honest and a clear proposal. Pedaling regardless where or when; rather together and for a while. It all happened in the table of that bar. My pulse increased and my dreams came to life. I was full of adrenaline, euphoric. Nothing was settled. The idea was forged and since then we started developing it.
As months went by, several routes were evaluated. Having cycled in routes of the European continent I wanted to explore others. Dani was fascinated by his visit to Australia. Low population density, animal diversity and aboriginal culture. An island that is inhabited more than forty thousand years ago must have much to teach if attention and time are available.
What are you looking for with the project? What is your role?
Generate content. Draw attention so that we can transmit. I want to be a source of inspiration through our daily effort. Generate movement through the example.
What kind of preparation do you carry out?
The bicycle is the means of transport that I have by excellence. Only days of rain and storm are the ones that make me take a bus. Since the trip was proposed I started swimming weekly and I ventured into running. I even had the courage to run an adventure marathon in Tandil, in Buenos Aires province. The mind is the engine in this type of travel. Muscular memory and the support of Esteban (brother and personal trainer) make the routine work go unnoticed. The biggest sacrifice is the one I make when traveling 4 hours a day to get to and from the office to my house. Patience is key and I practice it from dawn.
What sacrifices does such a project imply?
Absolute devotion, attention. Make one hundred percent focus on the steps to follow in order to make the project feasible. Pedaling under the sun and the night spent in the tent is one more thing within the structure. Hours of dedication to the body, mind and spirit after working days. Leave aside other musical and work proposals. Changing eating habits.
What would be a successful trip?
Landing in Australia all together The mere fact that the idea is materialized fulfills all my expectations. Years of conversations, living in different cardinal points of the world breaking with structures. Everyone did what he had to do, left everything and that's why we landed.
Do you have fears towards the project? Which ones?
At school, I participated in musical comedies. During the rehearsals, there was no adrenaline or even "scenic panic". The last rehearsal that used to be in the theater was already full of emotion. Nowadays I am not afraid or hesitant, however, when I'll be in front of the plane ticket, packing the bicycle, or doing of last-minute paperwork, the adrenaline appears. In fact, as I write these lines, a tingling in the spine becomes present and the smile immediately arises. Fear is a friend.
What will be the key to complete the trip?
Perseverance and discipline. Honesty and patience are just as important when it comes to putting a halt to the body, force rest and empathy above all things.
What expectations do you have towards the group?
Absolute dedication and a unique connection. We all have sport as nexus, music as a link and as human, brothers. By sharing principles and values, development takes place harmoniously. It will certainly be an experience that will shape not only our physicists but also our personal relationships and as a group.
What do your peers think about the decision?
From that phone call onwards my speech has always been "I'm leaving". I have never given place to think about time, health or money. I had a non-linear thought. I want to do it. When your best friend and brother cooperate in the mental process, there is a strong push. Their questions-constraints are taken as problems to solve instead of questioning. It has been a great help sharing and openness to dialogue is key.
What is the future of Bikings?
An audiovisual production agency that encourages young people to carry out altruistic projects. The Aconcagua is a documentary that I have in mind when finished this first one and the Andes mountains is a place I want to visit.
Met these guys out on the Nullarbor whilst driving Australia. Shared a few cold ones from my Eskie and listened to tales of their amazing tour plan. Good luck guys and don't give up!!


Kim, the dive shop manager has been on Lady Elliot Island for over nine years and has observed and recorded Mantas at Lady Elliot during that time. Initially it was thought that there may be over 40 'resident' mantas, but over 100 individuals have now been identified and named. Their cleaning stations have been noted and so your chance of observing mantas is maximised by diving with the LEI dive team.
There is however, no guarantee that a Manta wants cleaning at the time you happen to be there. Even so, the patient are usually rewarded with a manta sighting.
Sometimes higher up in the water column, and sometimes down at eye level.
Note that the Lighthouse Bommie is not the only place where you can see mantas. They can be seen at other sites gliding by either on the edge of the vis, or right overhead if you are lucky. We observed mantas on all dives during the peak season – May, June and July.
Likewise, even if you're specifically out looking for mantas, don't close your eyes to everything else that's around. Also in the vicinity of the Lighthouse Bommie mooring is a turtle cleaning station, so the chances are you could see a turtle being cleaned too.
And even if you don't, typically towards the end of the dive, you'll be in shallower water close to the reef where you're bound to encounter one there.
You can 'read up' on the Mantas in the Reef Education Centre before your dive. There are also Manta information sheets. And check out Lady Elliot's involvement in Project Manta on their website.


To serve you better, Jersey Canada continues to find a contest application platform that is both efficient and user friendly. We have a new entry application process for 2018 that we will be beta testing.
With the exception of 4-H classes, the rules themselves have not changed, but the application process has. To clarify, eligibility between OPEN and 4-H classes is different and has been separated. This supports 4-H privacy policies and youth inclusivity. If you are entering an animal in one of our 4-H classes, please go to the All Canadian 4-H Rules, as eligibility and information to be submitted is different from the OPEN classes.
As in the past, the 2018 All Canadian Contest entry process continues to be offered online.
For OPEN classes, you will notice that we require very little information from you to complete an entry and that this process demands very little time or computer experience from applicants and is extremely user friendly. Provided that your entry is accurate (registration # and animal name) the remaining information that we typically require (animal birthdate, owners, show results) will be extracted from our pedigree database (Canadian herdbook).
If you are unable to complete the application electronically, please give us a call at 519-821-1020 (ext. 101). Be sure to review the OPEN class and/or 4-H class rules below to see if your animal qualifies.
Note: If you are entering US animals that are not in our pedigree database, you must provide your Canadian show results. In addition to filling out an application form (below), this information must be emailed to us at info@jerseycanada.com.
Animals must be registered at 87.5% purity or higher to be eligible to show in qualifying All Canadian shows. The animal must be the 4-H project of the participant and the 4-H member MUST be leading the calf at the show.
What is a qualifying All Canadian show?
4-H class entries now include ALL SHOWS that 4-Her's participate in with Jersey animals. We have adopted an honour system where applicants will include/supply their results at all shows on the application. You must include both the 4-H placing as well as the placing in the open show if applicable (e.g. 1st 4-H, 3rd in Class, ___SHOW NAME__). Information may be randomly verified at the Jersey Canada office. If false information is submitted, the applicant will be disqualified and charged for their entry. All qualifying All Canadian shows must operate under the Canadian Dairy Breeds Code of Ethics. View the standards of show rules and regulations here.
4-H applicants must have successfully completed the 4-H Dairy Calf Project during the current show year and all 4-H entries must include the name and telephone number of their 4-H Dairy Club Leader. By entering the contest, you are giving consent for Jersey Canada to publish your name and show results on all media.
All entries must be submitted online by Monday December 3, 2018 below. Late entries will not be accepted!
What 4-H class is your Jersey in for 2018?
Does my entry require a photo?
Only professional 5 x 7 side view digital portrait photographs taken during the current show year will be accepted. Jersey Canada will be processing a mass download from Vicki Fletcher in November (for photos taken at the Royal) and match it to the application. In this case, you do not need to send us a photo. If you choose to use a photo from a different photographer, it is the responsibility of the applicant to email it to us: info@jerseycanada.com. Please ensure the photo is labelled "calf name-2018-class of entry" and your email includes reference information.
What is the cost to enter the contest?
The owners of each All Canadian entry will be charged a fee of $25 per entry*. All winning and nominated animals qualify for a 15% advertising discount in the February issue of the Canadian Jersey Breeder magazine.
Approximately 5-7 judges will be selected from a list of candidates that judged All Canadian qualifying shows. Contest judges will rank their choice for the top six (6) animals in each class and the total point aggregate will determine the All Canadian, Reserve All Canadian, Honorable Mention, and three nominees for each class.

To verify the animal's eligibility and show results, visit the on-line pedigree of your Jersey being entered and check to see if the information is accurate BEFORE you enter your animal in the contest. Jersey Canada records official placings from show administrators for QUALIFYING CANADIAN shows only. If you find that the results are not accurate, give us a call. Verify the animals information here.

In Ontario or Quebec, qualifying shows must have a minimum of 55 head of JERSEYS exhibited in CANADA. In all other provinces, qualifying shows must have a minimum of 40 head exhibited in total - including ALL-BREED shows in CANADA.
All qualifying All Canadian shows must operate under the Canadian Dairy Breeds Code of Ethics. View the standards of show rules and regulations here.

What open class is your Jersey in for 2018?
View the All Canadian open class list to enter your animal in the right class. *Jersey Canada has the right to merge contest classes if less than six (6) animal entries are received per class.
What if I sold my Jersey throughout the year?
Animals that have changed ownership during the current show year will be entered in the contest under the name of the current owner listed in the pedigree (as of the entry closing date). It is the responsibility of the entrant to consult with the current owner and inform Jersey Canada if recognition is to be different than that of ownership on the pedigree.
Only professional 5 x 7 side view digital portrait photographs taken during the current show year will be accepted. Jersey Canada will be processing a mass download from Vicki Fletcher in November (for photos taken at the Royal) and match it to the application. In this case, you do not need to send us a photo. If you choose to use a photo from a different photographer, it is the responsibility of the applicant to email it to us: info@jerseycanada.com. Please ensure the photo is labelled "cow name-2018-class of entry" and your email includes reference information.
Approximately 5-7 judges will be selected from a list of candidates that judged All Canadian qualifying shows. Contest judges will rank their choice for the top six (6) animals in each class and the total point aggregate will determine the All Canadian, Reserve All Canadian, Honorable Mention, and three nominees for each class. Judges will also provide their choice for overall All Canadian Heifer and All Canadian Cow.
