Video: North Carolina's Green River Narrows at 60 Inches?
This ain't your typical day paddling down a Southeast classic. After heavy rains pounded much of western North Carolina, Colin Hunt and his crew decided to go see what the Green looks like at biblical flows. With the gauge at an astounding 60 inches, the standard lines no longer fly, eddies are nonexistent, and the steeper rapids are awing. And if you thought Gorilla looks scary at standard flows of 10-12 inches, wait until you see it at 60!
— Check out the action from last year's Green Race as racer's gauge levels in preparation for this year's upcoming race on Saturday Nov. 4.

Former Seattle 'body broker' sentenced in Arizona for dumping bodies
Walter H. Mitchell was convicted in September of dumping the remains of at least nine people from Washington state in the Arizona desert.

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. — A Prescott, Arizona judge Monday sentenced a former Seattle "body broker" who was convicted of 29 counts of abandonment or concealment of a dead body.
Walter H. Mitchell was sentenced to 6 years and 3 months in Arizona state prison. With time already served, Mitchell will spend just over four additional years behind bars.
Dave Griffen, whose daughter Amanda's remains were among the abandoned body parts that Mitchell left in the desert spoke at sentencing. Amanda died of cancer in Seattle.
"To him (Mitchell), she was unproductive inventory," Griffen said. "To us, she was much more."
Mitchell said at the sentencing that his "emotion today is for the family."
"If this helps the family at all, then I am sorry," Mitchell said.
Mitchell dumped the remains of nine people, and two still appear to be unidentified.
Interestingly, Mitchell rejected a plea deal earlier this year that might have given him probation, fired his lawyer and proceeded to trial.
Mitchell ran a company in Seattle called FutureGenex, which solicited donated bodies that the company sold to medical education and research firms. Mitchell closed the company in September 2020 and moved to Arizona.
Mitchell packed several donated cadavers from Washington state on dry ice in a U-Haul truck and transported them to Arizona. In December 2020, he dumped at least two dozen body parts in the Prescott National Forest. Hunters and a couple collecting firewood discovered the heads, arms and legs soon after at two separate dump sites.
In a series of reports, the KING 5 Investigators detailed how Mitchell worked with a contractor, First Call Plus in Kent, that transported bodies for donation to the University of Washington Willed Body Program. The program provides cadavers for study by medical students. When the UW rejected donors because of disease or other issues, First Call Plus would recommend the donor's family contact Mitchell. The university said it had no knowledge that its contractor was referring donor's families to a private company and it has stopped the practice.
"He's an evil man. I think he's evil," Cheryl Patterson said of Mitchell when interviewed earlier this year.
Her ex-husband, Doug, was among the remains identified in Arizona through DNA.

Imagine waking up to the raucous cries of scarlet macaws as they fly over your thatched hut on their way to who knows where. Later, as you eat a delicious breakfast in the open air restaurant, overlooking the rainforest and ocean, you're entertained by a troop of monkeys cavorting in some nearby trees. After breakfast, you can hook up with a guide for a fascinating hike in an ancient rainforest, where you'll swim in pristine waterfalls and learn about rainforest life. Or you can hike on your own to a secluded beach where your only company is a pair of toucans. How about spending the afternoon lounging in the hammock on your veranda, reading, snoozing, or keeping a lookout for birds, iguanas, and monkeys in the rainforest surrounding your hut?

Why Thrive?
Paul Hemsworth, Founder & Principal
In 2008, Paul Hemsworth started his professional journey in strength and conditioning while working for a company called Human Motion in Vancouver, BC. He was fortunate enough to work with some great coaches, not only within the company but also the fitness hub that was the Lower Mainland. Prior to working in the field, Paul received his Bachelors of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia and then went on to become certified as a strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) with the NSCA, as well as an exercise physiologist (CEP) with CSEP.
In 2010, Paul and his now wife Leah decided to move back to their roots in Thunder Bay, ON. It was this move that shaped Paul immensely as it was an opportunity to start his own business from scratch and really shape the company to the visions that he had so long aspired for. In November 2010 he started Hemsworth Strength & Wellness. Before long, Hemsworth had developed a very trusting and consistent client base and felt that to meet the needs of his tribe, he needed to open up his own facility that kept aligned with his philosophies of coaching.
Enter Thrive. On January 15th, 2014 Hemsworth with enormous help from his pregnant wife of 7 months, opened the doors of Thrive Strength & Wellness! It has since been the home of athletes, life-changers, beginners, elderly, youth, weekend warriors, and many more. It has become a hub of health and performance that has created a community that has meshed so many individuals from so many walks of life.
With a resume that includes working with professional athletes as well as developing younger athletes, Hemsworth has also made a name for himself with his unique approach to helping so many transform their lives. He takes deep pride in changing the way we view health and fitness in order to understand the human potential.
Hemsworth hopes that Thrive can continue to provide whole coaching in order to serve individuals who are looking, not to just get by and be removed of illness and disease, but to lead fulfilled, meaningful, and purposeful lives and careers – in essence, to thrive.
It's a fresh approach that favours life and light over superficiality and image, and he can't wait to help Thunder Bay thrive. (He's also a proud new dad, and will talk your ear off about his kids to anyone who will listen).

He played hockey and soccer growing up until 17 when he needed to make the decision of choosing one sport and sticking with it. Ultimately choosing hockey, he headed to Manitoba to play his junior career. While playing with the Selkirk Steelers of the MJHL, Dezy received an athletic scholarship to play at Northern Michigan University which is located in Marquette, Michigan.
Graduating in 2011 with a degree in Health and Fitness Management, Dezy quickly pursued career options in the health and fitness industry. He worked at The Athletic Club here in Thunder Bay from 2011-2013 as a Fitness Consultant and a Personal Trainer.
In the summer of 2012, Dezy had an opportunity of a lifetime when he was accepted to complete an internship with Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning in Boston, Mass. A vast amount of knowledge was brought back with him to complete his second year of employment at The Athletic Club as a Personal Trainer.
During the 2013-2014 academic year, he was hired by Northern Michigan University as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Men's Hockey and Basketball teams.

Danielle dubeau, strength coach
Danielle was born and raised in Montreal and graduated from McGill University with an Honours degree in Kinesiology. She went on to travel, volunteer, and work across various continents, returning to Canada in 2009. Danielle settled in Thunder Bay in 2010, after work in remote camps brought her to Northern Ontario. With a history in sport and athletic endeavours, Danielle has always had an underlying passion for health and promoting wellness in all people. In 2014 she returned to the academic world as a means to both free herself from shift work and to gain practical experience that might afford her the opportunity to help others better themselves physically.
Danielle completed a Graduate Diploma in Professional Kinesiology at Lakehead University in conjunction with her first pregnancy and the first several months of motherhood with a newborn. From this Danielle recognized a lack of resources in the health care system available to women especially after pregnancy. Danielle was working as a fitness instructor for individuals with chronic diseases including heart, pulmonary, and neurological diseases, but was still looking to find a way to help support mothers. After the birth of her second child in 2016, Danielle met Paul, and had the opportunity to learn more about (and from) the Thrive team. She decided to make it her mission to offer a service for women looking to be healthier, regain strength after pregnancy, or generally help themselves feel better in their daily life.
While Danielle is especially excited about helping women in their childbearing years, she can also relate to a variety of life and work circumstances that create a void in one's personal strength and wellness. Having experienced multiple roles in her life; athlete, mother, shift worker, student, etc., Danielle is more than aware of the commitment to change that is required to fill that void, and is dedicated to helping others succeed.
"So often people concede to live with a less than optimal quality of life. I want to help people become stronger, move well, feel well, and enjoy everyday a whole lot more. I am so happy to be connected with such a positive team of professionals at THRIVE."

a measure of the extent to which a firm's earnings (profit before tax) cover INTEREST payments due on LOANS. It expresses profit as a ratio of interest due.
an accounting measure of the extent to which a firm's earnings cover INTEREST payments due on LOANS that expresses profit after tax as a ratio of interest due.
This will weaken credit metrics such as post-maintenance and post-tax interest cover (PMICR) and net debt to regulated asset base (RAB).
Summary: The median social housing lettings interest cover ratio dipped to 1.
Moody's rating guidance for DP World's Baa3 rating and stable outlook is adjusted funds from operations (FFO) interest cover between 3.
Calculation: interest cover (a number) is derived by dividing the company's operating profit by the finance charge.
The financial covenants attached to the new facility are a minimum interest cover of 4 times increasing in steps to 5 times from July 2013 and a maximum net debt to EBTIDA ratio of 2.
This would, in Moody's opinion, translate into FFO interest cover that is constantly above 3.
Negative rating triggers include a net leverage sustained above 3x and funds from operations (FFO) interest cover kept below 2x, or a sharp drop in market share.
Net yield = (rental income - costs)/purchase price 3 Interest cover.
Interest cover - The difference between actual rental income (less costs) and total mortgage repayments Interest cover = net rent / interest costs 4.
Accordingly, the estimated year-end interest cover ratio remains well below 1 time versus the expectation that interest cover would strengthen towards 2 times.
This replaces the interest cover covenant with a cash flow covenant and the documents extend the maturity of Barratt's pounds 400m credit facility from February 2010 to July 2011.
The fact Ahold had negotiated lower interest cover than expected on the loan was seen as evidence more accounting revelations could be around the corner, while its decision to waive a dividend was "not encouraging".

Abstract: We outline a solution method for mixed finite element discretizations based on dissecting the problem into three separate steps. The first handles the inhomogeneous constraint, the second solves the flux variable from the homogeneous problem, whereas the third step, adjoint to the first, finally gives the Lagrangian multiplier. We concentrate on aspects involved in the first and third step mainly, and advertise a multi-level method that allows for a stable computation of the intermediate and final quantities in optimal computational complexity.


The Official John Martyn Website > Magazines and Newspapers > Same Again?
Sober, wiser, more than a little weather beaten, John Martyn has survived 20 turbulent booze fuelled years pursuing a romantic image of the lone folk troubadour. But the 'rebel stand' is still firmly intact, as Mark Cooper discovers.
Tucked behind a small doorway not too far from the King's Road, the Chelsea Arts Club retains much of the Bohemian air of 1960s World's End. The West End establishments may pride themselves on the gentlemanly hush of quiet conversation and the discretion of waiters gliding about with silver trays, but here the packed bar is the heart of the place and the clientele make no attempt to whisper or maintain an orderly decorum. As its name suggests, the members of the Club are drawn from the artistic professions and the casual attire of the drinkers enables writers, painters and directors to happily rub shoulders with the technicians of the arts and media.
Pride of place in the bar goes to a pool table around which four gentlemen of varying age are currently locked in combat. The loudest of the four shimmies somewhat theatrically around the table grinning widely at his successes and openly lamenting his false shots. John Martyn is a long time regular at the Chelsea Arts Club where he frequently stays during his London sojourns. Most of those at the bar clearly know him and are no doubt used to seeing Martyn in full flow, voice raised in a torrent of jokes and giggles, accent careering between his native Scots and all manner of mimicry.
Yet this evening Martyn's customary flow is positively restrained and his normal role as life and soul of the party has been replaced by an amiable but low key bonhomie. During the last 20 odd years, John Martyn has assaulted most of Britain's stages with performances whose turbulence and tenderness has frequently been fuelled by large intakes of booze and whatever else he could lay his hands upon. Emerging from the folk scene of the late '60s alongside singer songwriters like Al Stewart, Ralph McTell and Mike Chapman, Martyn soon abandoned acoustic dexterity first for an Echoplex which enabled him to improvise against a wall of echoing sound and, during the '80s, for an electric guitar and a full fledged band. The John Martyn of his new album, The Apprentice, is closer to funk than folk and bears little resemblance to the teenager who first made his name with folk blues covers and self penned tunes with titles like Sing A Song Of Summer. Now 42, Martyn's singing style has evolved over the years into a slurred growl that swoops and soars around the melody with a jazzer's improvisatory glee. That voice and his constant touring have long established Martyn as a solid concert draw, yet such are the sales of his 21 albums that they have rarely troubled even the lower reaches of the chart. No matter that his May You Never was covered by Eric Clapton and his 1981 LP Glorious Fool was produced by Phil Collins, John Martyn remains a cottage industry whose career has proceeded oblivious to the vagaries of fashion.
This evening's mellow Martyn probably has more to do with his changed habits than some sudden onset of fortysomething maturity. Critics have always likened Martyn's vocal approach to that of a drunk, and the man himself has never been scared to enjoy a drink before his adoring audience. Long before Shane MacGowan's songwriting became inextricably associated with his drinking, Martyn and his '70s partner, double bassist Danny Thompson, were raging across Britain, turning in shows that combined slinky delicacy, walls of sound and the kind of threatening repartee that clears pubs near closing time. Martyn's music may have gathered intensity over the years but during the '80s his hedonism had begun to get the better of him.
Martyn's music has swung savagely between the tender and the turbulent, ever since he first sought to free himself from his initial incarnation as a semi-hippy folkie. An only child, his parents separated soon after he was born and his childhood was divided between his native Scotland and his mother's home in Kingston Upon Thames. He started playing the guitar at 17 and, helped by the traditional singer Hamish Imlach, launched himself on the folk scene a couple of years later. Heavily influenced by the folk blues of the likes of Robert Johnson and Skip James, Martyn soon moved down to London and became a fixture at Cousins, the Greek Street club that was then the home of London's acoustic scene. The first white artist to sign to Chris Blackwell's Island Records, then a reggae based label, Martyn's first album, London Conversation, was released in February 1968. His guitar style was always highly rhythmic and while his first songs were playfully summery in keeping with the mood of the times, the experimental atmosphere of Cousins encouraged him to begin experimenting with the loop effects of the echoplex.
Martyn's fascination with electric sound soon distanced him from the singer songwriter scene. In 1969 he met and married Coventry singer Beverley Kutner and the pair recorded two albums together: Stormbringer! and The Road To Ruin, the first recorded in Woodstock and betraying the obvious influence of The Band's Music From Big Pink. The Martyns joint efforts made them the royal couple of the new folk optimism as the cover of Road To Ruin attests: "We think we can safely say quite categorically (emphasis) that this music has nothing to do with dying or anything like that," explained the rear sleeve, signed 'Lots of love – John and Bev'. When Beverley retired to have the couple's children, Martyn recorded two solo albums, Bless The Weather and Solid Air, which remain the foundation of his enduring popularity. The voice was smokier, Danny Thompson's bass weaved its way around his guitar lines, and while the sentiments remained sunny, the music had acquired the smoky haze of late night jazz sessions. His lyrical sentiments remained endearingly cosy but on stage he was becoming louder and louder, egged on by his friendship with fellow carouser Thompson.
1975's Live At Leeds captures the pair at full throttle and was followed by a four month trip to Jamaica to enable Martyn to clean himself up. He survived various racial confrontations, played with the likes of Burning Spear and collaborated with Lee Perry. The trip undoubtedly inspired his version of the self-mythologising Johnny Too Bad which finally emerged in late 1980 on Grace And Danger, his emotional account of the collapse of his marriage. "I'm an emotional fool," he laughs now. "I'm not a sweatshop writer who tries to sit down and write three hits by tomorrow. I know it's a cliche but I genuinely have to say that I believe you do your best work when you're the most screwed up. My best records are definitely like that. Grace and Danger is my 'Oh dear, my baby done left me, Come back please, baby baby' record." The Martyns' close friend Chris Blackwell found the record so harrowing that he held up its release for a year.
Martyn escaped and, after releasing 1983's live Philentropy on an independent label, he found himself back on Island. Yet despite collaborating with Robert Palmer for Sapphire and getting the full marketing treatment from the new look Island of the mid '80s, including such ploys as 'Classic John Martyn', the first 'commercially available CD single'. Martyn's career and his drinking were on the slide. Island dropped him in 1988, rejecting the tapes that form the backbone of The Apprentice and Martyn briefly went back to solo touring.


Marshes, ponds; in winter, also salt bays. In summer in open country such as prairie, marsh, or tundra, in vicinity of shallow water. In migration and winter on alkaline lakes, fresh marshes, tidal estuaries, or any shallow waters with extensive muddy margins, including stagnant or polluted waters not much favored by other ducks.
Forages mainly by swimming slowly forward with the bill skimming the surface or with the head partly submerged, often swinging the bill from side to side as it sifts food from the muddy water. Seldom up-ends, rarely dives, seldom feeds on land.
9-12, sometimes 6-14. Shades of pale olive. If first clutch of eggs is destroyed, replacement clutch usually has fewer eggs. Incubation is by female only, 21-27 days. Young: within a few hours after eggs hatch, female leads young to water, generally keeping them close to cover of marsh vegetation. Young are capable of flight 52-60 days after hatching.
Within a few hours after eggs hatch, female leads young to water, generally keeping them close to cover of marsh vegetation. Young are capable of flight 52-60 days after hatching.
Varies with season and habitat. In winter may feed mostly on seeds and other parts of aquatic plants, such as sedges, pondweeds, grasses, and others. Also (especially in summer) eats mollusks, insects, crustaceans, sometimes small fish.
Pair formation begins in winter and continues during spring migration. Several males may court one female, gathering around her on water. Each male in turn attempts to lead female away, by swimming away or by short flight; female indicates acceptance by flying away with male. Male remains with female longer than in most ducks, often through part of incubation period. Nest site is usually close to water, generally in area of short grass. Nest (built by female) is a shallow depression partly filled with dried grasses and weeds, lined with down.
Migrates in flocks. Migratory period is quite prolonged in both spring and fall, with many birds moving late in spring and early in fall.
Low croak, cluck, or quack.
North America is home to several striking drakes, and autumn is the best season to see their fresh plumage.

Yamammoto was born in 1943 in Yokohama, Japan. He studied English at the Nipppon University. Subsquently, he graduated from Keio University, in 1966. He then attended Bunka Fukuso Gakuin, the Japanese College of Fashion, for 2 years till 1968. Here he studied under Chie Kolke, who attended Paris' l'Ecole with Yves St. Laurent.
He started out making clothes for his mother's friends in their Tokyo neighbourhood in the late 60's. Before Yamamooto, dressmakers were tradesmen to be treated as humble people. Not him. He had taken an extended tour of Europe, including a stay in Paris and he felt that designing clothes was as creative as painting.
After working as a freelance designer for 4 years, Yamamoto formed his own company in 1972 and showed his first collection in Japan in 1976. The presentation of his shows made him famous, dramatic clothes were shown in an exciting environment. By blending the vigorous, exotic and powerful designs of traditional Japanese dress with Western daywear, he achieves a unique, abstract style.
He designed clothes that could be loosely layered in a way that was comfortable, smart and strangely elegant. Everyone wanted to wear the hard rigid shapes coming out of Paris, but he made something different.
By the mid-70's, he started mixing with Rei Kawakubo and they became involved both creatively and romantically, in a relationship that still survives on a platonic level to this day.
In 1981, Yamamoto opened his boutique in Paris. Uproar greeted his first shows. There just had not been anything like those black, billowing, layered clothes ever before in Paris. Now, he has been proved right. His clothes are successful worldwide. He has also started showing his ready-to-wear collections.
In 1999, his final wedding dress was topped by a hat so big that 4 men were required with long poles to hold it upright.
In Fall 2000, he had a one-season sneaker deal with Adidas.
Yohji has entered into a collaboration with Sports Shoe maker Adidas and in October 2002, he brought out the first collection under the new name.
From April till August 2005, an exhibition of Yohji's work is being held at the Pitti Palace's Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Florence, Italy. The curator Olivier Saillard has positioned Yamamoto pieces in front of, or in contrast to the gallery's artworks, many of which date from the Renaissance. The exhibition will move on to Paris, to the Musee de la Mode et du Textile, in the Autumn.
In the early 1970's, Yohji Yamamoto created Y's, his first line. The first show ran in Tokyo, 1977.
Yamamoto is an uncompromising non-traditionalist Designer. He swathes and wraps the body in Unstructured, loose, voluminous garments, Similar in style and philosophy to those of Rei Kawakubo. Many of his clothes have additional flaps, pockets and straps. He is now famous for his minimalist, all-black clothing, perfect for those in search of 'no frills' formal garments. The Y's collection for women reflected typical men's garments, as the clothes were cut in uncluttered shapes with washed fabrics and dark colors. These clothes expressed a functional elegance and sobriety that Yohji Yamamoto would reaffirm a few years later with Y's for men. Today, Y's and Y's for men have taken their place as practical, day-to-day wear beyond the bounds of fashion and shifting trends. In the Yohji Yamamoto collection the fabric is always the foundation of his design and the superposition of clothing is what best defines his silhouette Yohji Yamamoto's style was destructured and ample at the beginning, evolving through time into a more structured, fitted silhouette in a spirit of couture -with- a- twist. Yohji Yamamoto + Noir collection is based on classic and timeless pieces of the Yohji Yamamoto line. Each season a part of the collection changes, while the other part remains the same.Yohji Yamamoto +Noir is almost entirely black with an unusual punctuation of bright colours.

Republicans Kill Jobs.
by Monica Potts
The Senate extended TANF, the basic welfare bill, which was set to expire after a temporary extension in December, but didn't include reauthorizing the Emergency Fund, a provision of the stimulus bill that encouraged employers to hire low-income, unemployed workers by partially subsidizing their paychecks. The emergency fund expired in September but the hope was that it would be renewed.
On the surface, this is the kind of thing conservatives want; it's actually welfare-to-work in action and is also a job-creating program that helps companies hire where they wouldn't be able to without the support. But conservatives, of course, found a way to spin it: It's part of the stimulus, and the party line is that the stimulus didn't work. Now, with 10 percent unemployment, another quarter of a million people who found work under the program could stay unemployed.

Arizona Agrees to Settlement in $4 Million Prison Teacher Rape Lawsuit
Elizabeth Stuart | December 29, 2015 | 9:35am
The Arizona Department of Corrections has agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging that it failed to provide a safe work environment for a teacher who was raped while administering a GED test at a state prison.
The teacher, who was the subject of a New Times cover story in July, originally sought $4 million. However, a settlement notice did not specify the terms of the deal. A confidentiality provision barred attorneys from disclosing details.
Jacob Harvey, 21, was sentenced to life in prison in September for the attack.
In January 2014, Harvey, who was one year into a 30-year sentence for rape, waited until all the other inmates completed their tests and left. Then he asked the teacher, a petite 35-year-old, to unlock the bathroom for him. When her back was turned, he wrestled her to the ground and repeatedly stabbed her with a pen.

A Teacher's Rape Reveals Massive Security and Mental-Health Treatment Failures in Arizona Prisons
In her lawsuit, the teacher argued that the DOC's security was inadequate. There were no corrections officers and no cameras. Nobody heard her cries for help.
The teacher's rape was one of 412 assaults on DOC staff in fiscal year 2014, an increase of 36 percent since 2005.
Although, in many states, officers are assigned to stay in classrooms with teachers, it was normal at the time "for a teacher to be alone with a dozen [to] 20 inmates for two or three hours at a time and not be checked on," according to one of the victim's colleagues at Arizona State Prison Eyman.
While the number of inmates in Arizona prisons has climbed over the past decade, the number of corrections officers has been cut. In 2013, the DOC fought the Legislature to restore funding for some of the lost jobs. However, it hasn't been able to fill them.
As a result, David Lopez, a former DOC sergeant, said he was often required to operate with far fewer officers than stipulated by the department's own security protocol.
"In training, we are taught that there should never be more than 10 inmates to one officer," Lewis told New Times. "But on any given day, we are outnumbered probably 50 to 1."
The lawsuit also accused the DOC of improperly tending to Harvey's mental health needs. Harvey, who has fetal alcohol syndrome, was flagged as high-risk during a mental-health assessment at booking, but, his family said, was given no treatment. Just a few months before the rape, the DOC moved him from a close custody unit, which offers the second-highest level of security, to a medium-custody unit against the recommendation of his case manager.
Nearly two years after the attack, the teacher, who has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress syndrome, has still not returned to work. She told New Times she is not sure she'll ever feel safe in a classroom again.
She pursued the lawsuit, she said, because she wanted to push the DOC to tighten security.
"No one should go to work and wonder if they're going to come home at 5 o'clock," she said. "Regardless of where they work."

Update: Human Remains Located In Western Skamania County
****UPDATE****
The human remains that were located on Sunday, September 23rd in western Skamania County have been positively identified as those of to Kenneth P. Stovner. Stovner was reported missing about April 12th, 1980 from his residence on Belle Center Road in Washougal, WA. He was 39 years old at the time of his disappearance. An intense investigation and search of the area around the residence revealed no clues to Stovner's whereabouts at that time.
Stovner's remains were located approximately ½ mile west of his former residence on Belle Center Road in a heavily wooded and brushy area on the afternoon of Sunday September 23rd, 2012. A landowner was clearing the area and located what he believed to be human remains. An intense 4 day search of the scene and surrounding area provided the needed evidence to be able to positively identify Stovner.
Agencies that assisted with the investigation of the area included the Multnomah County Search and Rescue, Pacific Crest Search Dogs, Cowlitz County Search and Rescue, Clark County Search and Rescue, Wind River Search and Rescue, Silver Star Search and Rescue, and Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue.
The manner of death has yet to be determined in this case.
Skamania County Detectives are continuing with the investigation.
As more information becomes available, additional media releases will be made available.

This restaurant has its fair share of hits and misses, but when it comes to desserts, Chef Sunshine Pengson will always hit the target-your stomach and your emotions. The exterior is a crisp shell that protects a surprise fudgy core. If our moms made cookies like these at home, we'd probably be grounded for trying to steal from the cookie jar. Still, no home-baked cookie costs P60.
Shine Bakery and Cafe is at 3/F SM Aura Premier, Bonifacio Global City.
Imagine using crepe instead of actual bread in your bread pudding. This would be the result. Layers of crepe are stacked so perfectly together that they've become one delicious flan-like ensemble. Each bite is as smooth as custard with the slight chewiness of crepe. The cake costs P750 and if Mara dela Rama-Poblete isn't careful, this might very well knock her Gateau de Crepe off its place on the bestselling stage.
For orders, contact 405-2580 (Ecology Village, Makati City). Orders must be placed one day in advance.
These cake-ice-cream hybrid is the latest from Ian Carandang. He describes them as the illegitimate baby of a cake pop and his bestselling dive bar, and the Tres Leches flavor stands out immediately. Cake crumbs and a milk drizzle hint at the utterly scrumptious masterpiece underneath: the milky-white bar conceals a thin base of pound cake soaked in tres leches, and then topped with its ice cream version. Sweetness comes from the coat of vanilla white chocolate. The Tres Leches will be available in the week of June 9. Sorry, guys!

Like anything in this world that is too good, this dish can kill you-with a very heavy but extremely happy heart. Chef Vince Rodriguez plays around with the concept of sushi, giving the normally light Japanese staple a very luxurious facelift. As the thin slices of pan-fried foie gras over the pillows of rice teeter precariously towards being overly indulgent, the cranberry crown saves it with a perfect amount of sweetness. By the way, for P755, you get four on your plate.
Peppermill is at 205 Place One Building, Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City.
We deem it our duty to advise you to not form attachments with any of Cucina's dishes. The chef likes to mix up what's inside those lovely cast-iron skillets and pans so no two visits to Marco Polo's signature buffet will ever be the same. When you see the plump cherry tomatoes over veg-and-potato discs, celebrate! Each bite is creamy mashed potato, with carrots and greens adding a necessary crunch and the bright red fruit painting a bright break in the profile. The concept of Bubble and Squeak was created from leftovers, but Cucina makes it look like a true original.
Cucina is at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila, Sapphire Street corner Meralco Avenue, Pasig City.
The pork is cooked sous vide for 42 hours and by the time it arrives at your table, served over little beds of mashed potatoes, the meat has given up all forms of resistance. It pulls apart without the help of a knife and the thin strings of fat in between make it even more irresistibly juicy. The potatoes are spiked with wasabi, the heat adding emphasis to the pork's sweetkakuni-style braise. The Pork Belly is priced at P350.
The rosemary rub gives the steak a delectable herbacious flavor that complements the meatiness of a good medium rare nicely. Adam Tan, who heads Main Street's kitchen, uses only Kitayama flank for its more affordable approach to producing that pronounced beef flavor. The strips of steak are served over a good-sized portion of herbed rice, kind of like a healthy and hearty dish in one.
Main Street is at Tuscany, McKinley Hill, Bonifacio Global City.
Think of it as lechon kawali on bread. And just by that definition, you know it's going to be good. The pork is roasted with herbs, allowing those fresh flavors to seep into its heartier profile. This sandwich is a lesson on balance: arugula brings out a zesty tone and herb aioli cuts away unnecessary richness. Best of all, they toss in bits of crackling because they just really really want to make you happy.
For orders, contact 0927-965-2519 or visit their website. Orders must be placed before 10 a.m.
We like a little bit of personalization, and Chelsea's 2 Eggs "Freestyle" (P295) gives you the option of having your eggs cooked just the way you like them. In this case, they were perfectly poached, pairing well with the crunch from the hash brown and the smoke from the bacon. Lightly dressed arugula gives it all a refreshing peppery kick.
Chelsea Grand Market and Cafe is at Serendra in Bonifacio Global City.
It's easy to go with one of Chef Claude Tayag's numerous incarnations of lechon, but it was this dish that made the late, great (and first Filipino foodie) Doreen Fernandez exclaim, "Paradise!"-hence the name. Balled up ube, macapuno, and yema sit on a creamy stage of brulee pastillas. Carabao's milk makes everything much more sinful. We especially love the zesty profile in the yema.

Q: Type Writer Effect in JTextPane i'm pretty new to coding (about 5 months) and i've been trying to make a custom terminal for a text based RPG. so far i have the terminal working the way it should but i'm looking for ways to rewrite the code to come up with a typewriter effect. here's the code i have for writing the text onto a JTextPane but the code i'm trying to merge doesn't work all too well since i do feel like i am missing something. i've tried searching for what but couldn't find too many answers.
public void print(String s, boolean trace) {
        print(s, trace, new Color(255,255,255), startFont);
    }

    public void print(String s, boolean trace, Color c, boolean startFont) {
        Style style = console.addStyle("Style", null);
        StyleConstants.setForeground(style, c);

        if (trace) {
            Throwable t = new Throwable();
            StackTraceElement[] elements = t.getStackTrace();
            String caller = elements[0].getClassName();

            s = caller + " -> " + s;

        }

        if (startFont) {
            console.setFont(new Font("Bookman Old Style", Font.ITALIC, 87));
        }

        try {
            document.insertString(document.getLength(), s, style);
        } catch(Exception ex) {}

    }

    public void println(String s, boolean trace) {
        println(s, trace, new Color(255, 255, 255));
    }

    public void println(String s, boolean trace, Color c) {
        print(s + "\n", trace, c, startFont);
    }

here's the code that i'm trying to implement: Java typewriter effect
when i do use the "g.drawString" method i ususally get an error saying that "g" is null which makes me think that i am missing something and that "g.drawString" would work but i'm very unsure.
i have some ideas on what i should do like maybe try to make the main string public without anything to it/making it into an array or trying to make a whole new render itself for the JTextPane to get the effect but i've had no luck so far. anyone's got any ideas if it's even possible?

Remembering my Friend, Ben Arbour
Aristotle said there are three kinds of friendships: those based on utility, those based on pleasure, and those based on a shared commitment to the good—wisdom and other moral virtues. Most of our friendships fall into the first two categories. Aristotle tells us that rare are those friendships truly grounded in a mutual pursuit of virtue. So I consider myself blessed to have had several of these friends. Humanly speaking, they are the principal reason I display any virtue or wisdom myself. Such friends are absolute treasures, benefitting us not only here but for all eternity. Because the joy and blessings they bring are so immense, losing them is especially difficult. Last week I lost such a friend—Ben Arbour, as he and his wife, Meg, perished in a car accident near their home in Fort Worth, Texas.
It was nine years ago that Ben introduced himself to me at a meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. I was instantly struck by his exuberance, wit, and sharp critical mind. "You and I have a lot in common and we need to get to know each other," he declared. Thus commenced our friendship, which he initially characterized as a mentoring relationship. But the truth is that I learned more from Ben than I ever taught him.
An irrepressible extrovert, Ben had a list of friends whom he would regularly call to discuss whatever was on his mind. And he constantly had a lot on his mind. Sometimes he would hit you with an argument he'd just dreamed up. Sometimes he would have a list of topics to discuss. Other times he would simply have a question. These conversations often pertained to some philosophical point, whether concerning the metaphysics of God and time, the ethics of human sexuality, or a practical implication of Berkeleyan idealism, but just as often his concerns were theological, ecclesial, or pastoral in nature.
I was just one person on Ben's list of regular interlocutors. His philosophical-theological motor never turned off, seemingly even while he was at work, appropriately enough, as finance manager at Sewell Automotive. And sometimes he would begin these phone conversations by saying, "Jim, I have some great news." To which I'd reply, "Yeah, what?" Then he would declare, "Jesus has risen from the dead, our sins are forgiven, and we will live forever with him for all eternity. Isn't that great?" Indeed. And this reminder would suitably frame the discussion, debate, or goofy banter that would follow, just as Ben's entire life was framed. He was a pure Gospel man.
Ben was also a multitrack thinker, known among his friends and colleagues for playing video games on his iPhone while attending highly technical conference presentations. The first time I witnessed this, I figured Ben was simply fatigued and had tuned out of the presentation. But when the speaker was finished and invited questions from the audience, Ben immediately piped up with the several apposite and incisive comments. This was typical for Ben, as I would eventually discover. It was also Ben's routine, when especially intrigued or unsatisfied with the presenters' responses to his questions, to pursue the discussion with the speaker outside of the conference room. And on at least two occasions he followed the presenters into the bathroom while doing so. I am thinking specifically of Robert Audi and Nicholas Wolterstorff, who, I am sure, handled Ben's indefatigable questioning with grace and good humor.
Another fundamental aspect of Ben's personality was his love for people, especially fellow Christians. He had a voracious appetite for fellowship, which always included rich conversation, clever wit, and good food. Ben was expert at two of these, and he tried to be a decent chef. I can't say he always succeeded. But he did try. Thankfully, Meg more than made up for whatever Ben lacked in cooking skills.
Ben was also a sports fan, especially, and rather determinedly, of baseball. He frequently made known his conviction that baseball is the best of all sports (a conviction I share, so the matter occasioned no debate between us). Though seemingly trivial, somehow even this conviction of Ben's was theological, and this carried through even to his rooting interests. For example, in the most recent World Series Ben pulled intensely for Los Angeles just because he was aware that Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is a committed Christian.
Ben was a great family man—a dedicated husband and father, and it was a joy to see him interact with his four sweet kids. In my last visit with the Arbours two weeks ago, I was struck by Ben's tender, Socratic interaction with his youngest son, Noah, about some theological point. Ben's fatherly care, his readiness to help Meg around the house, and the whole Arbour family dynamic of hospitality were a tangible testament to the man's humility and genuine servant heart. "Mi casa es su casa," Ben would say. And he meant it literally. The Arbour house constantly buzzed with guests, all of whom seemed to be special friends. One of Ben's greatest pleasures was connecting his friends with one another. This was not merely some extrovert compulsion or professional networking but a ministry of catalyzing koinonia. It was a spiritual gift that easily surpassed that of the most socially inclined pastors I have known. Almost unconsciously effected, it was borne out of Ben's boyish joy in the people of God.
Many a devout Christian talks a good game when it comes to intentionally and compellingly integrating the Gospel of Christ into every aspect of their life. Ben Arbour actually did this—to the delight of many and to the annoyance of some but to the benefit of everyone. Those who were close to Ben know how he was always encouraging, even when offering critical push back. Our final conversation two days before he died provides a good case in point. I had shared with Ben the possibility that I might take a teaching job at a school in Asia, which would require my being away from my family sixteen weeks each year. Rather than bluntly asserting that this was a bad idea, Ben simply said, "I don't think I could handle being away from my wife that long. But maybe I'm just weak in that way." This humble way of registering his reservations was particularly impactful. And it vividly illustrates the beauty of Ben Arbour as a third-level Aristotelian friend and faithful Christian brother
At this point I am still in the stage of grief that sometimes lingers in outright disbelief. It seems impossible that Ben is really gone. Eventually it will sink in, and I will grow accustomed to the fact that this world is no longer graced by his presence. In the meantime, I consciously remind myself of what Ben repeatedly reminded me: Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, our sins are forgiven, and we will live forever with him for all eternity. Crushing as it is for those of us who love them, Ben and Meg have together begun the next phase of their everlasting lives with Christ. Even now I can hear Ben's voice: "Isn't that great?" Yes, Ben. It surely is.

Thanks for writing this. I went to college with Ben and we had just reconnected at last year's EPS/ETS (where I also met you sir). It was a joy to meet Ben and reconnect and discuss our interest in philosophy and apologetics.
He was, in the hours I spoke with him, and watching his life on Facebook, to be just as you wrote. A loss for sure, but also a motivator to do as much as we can with the time we have.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing your friend here. I have been blessed by his testimony.
Bryan Walker
Thank you for these apt words Dr. Spiegel. You very appropriately and accurately described Ben. I was at Ben's house 3 weeks ago when you were there. He and I chatted a couple of times in the days following…..then he was gone. He and Meg are with the Lord now, but …this is grievous…painful. I pray the Lord places you in just the right position, soon!
Ben Causey
Thank you so much for putting your thoughts here. We met and spoke briefly at Ben's funeral. Ben was this super-solid, unwavering pillar of a Christian for me; not only did he set a fine example of sharing the gospel with friends and strangers, but he was also a mental symbol in my mind of how intelligent the stance of faith in Christ is.
So nice to meet and speak with you, Jim. Praise God for your work and remembrance of our dear friend and his wonderful wife, Meg.
Robert Spiegel
Beautiful, Jim. Thanks for this. I learned a lot of good about Ben, and I also learned a lot of good about you. Love you, brother, and I'm sorry you've lost this friendship.
Brad Palmer
Great, Jim. Thanks. 🙂
Lee Enochs
This is a very good take on Ben Arbour and his legacy. Ben was a friend of mine, not a close friend but he was the best of friends with some of my close friends. So, I had the opportunity to see Ben operate up close and personal on several occasions and was impressed with his passion for Christ and Christian scholarship. I too saw him in action at a regional meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Dallas in 2014 and saw his gifts for leadership, organization and scholarship. Ben was a great follower of Christ.

I am so sorry for the loss of this Godly man and his wife, and for the four children who have lost their precious parents. There doesn't seem to be any reason humanly speaking that God permitted this to happen….but I DO know that what Satan means for evil, God uses for good! Can't see it now, but the good will present itself. I pray for your broken heart, for your family, for his family.

Album Review: Save Me—Racing On The Sun
Released in January 2015, Save Me, the new EP from alternative-rockers Racing on the Sun, was the perfect way to kick off the new year for the Northern Colorado music scene. Recorded at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins and released at the Moxi Theater in Greeley along with a fancy new light show, Save Me marks a new era for the band. The EP is comprised of three emotionally charged songs and is the perfect introduction to the band's new and refined image to new and old fans alike.

Mayor Adams Appoints Ulrich as DOB Commissioner
Mayor Eric Adams
New York City Mayor Eric Adams yesterday appointed former City Councilmember Eric Ulrich as commissioner of the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Kazimir Vilenchik, P.E. as first deputy commissioner.
As the leadership team at DOB, they will enforce the city's construction codes and zoning resolution, as well as the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law, to protect workers and the public on construction sites and in the city's nearly 1.1 million buildings. They will also play a key role in advancing the city's sustainability goals, including through the enforcement of Local Law 97.
"Eric Ulrich and Kazimir Vilenchik are the right leadership team at the right time for the Department of Buildings," said Mayor Adams. "Our city and our economy cannot recover from the COVID-19 pandemic without a strong construction industry, and this team will deliver while prioritizing worker safety and customer service. I want to thank Acting Commissioner Gus Sirakis for his deep commitment and ongoing service to DOB, and I look forward to continuing my work with Commissioner Ulrich and First Deputy Commissioner Vilenchik to move our city forward."
A former three-term New York City council member from Queens who served on the City Council's Committee on Housing and Buildings, Ulrich was a leader in the city's rebuilding effort after Hurricane Sandy, passing legislation to accelerate the rebuilding process while using the council's oversight powers to improve the Rapid Repairs and Build It Back programs. Currently, Ulrich serves as a senior advisor to Mayor Adams.
Vilenchik is currently the Brooklyn borough commissioner at DOB, having served as deputy borough commissioner in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. He has worked at DOB for 14 years and brings over two decades of additional private sector experience.
Addabbo Introduces Legislation Mandating Life Imprisonment when Victim is Police Officer
State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr.
State Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (D-Queens) recently introduced legislation (S.3459) to make life imprisonment without parole mandatory for defendants convicted of murder in the first degree when the victim is a police officer.
Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Queens) sponsored this legislation (A.9502) in the Assembly.
"Every day police officers risk their own lives protecting and defending members of the community, including strangers, so we can all stay safe," Addabbo said. "Families of murdered law enforcement officers, like Officers Mora and Rivera who were killed in the line of duty earlier this year, should never have to endure this pain, and criminals of these heinous crimes must never, under any circumstances, be considered for release," added Addabbo.
This legislation seeks to close the loophole that allows parole for murderers of police officers by requiring that mandatory life sentences without parole be imposed for these circumstances without exception.
"I will always have the utmost respect for the men and women who have chosen a career in law enforcement. Let this legislation serve as a warning to the criminals in our State that should they take the life of one of our police officers, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison without the possibility of parole. All in our communities, especially officers and their families, deserve to know that we value the lives of our heroes," said Pheffer Amato.
QBP Richards to Host "Cannabis Chat"
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. will host a virtual Community Cannabis Chat today with Tremaine Wright, the Chair of the New York State Cannabis Control Board, which was created to oversee the regulation of the newly legalized adult-use cannabis market in New York State.
Wright will speak with Community Board members and other Queens residents about how the implementation of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) is impacting Queens. The MRTA legalizes adult-use cannabis (also known as marijuana) in New York State and is intended to correct the harms caused by the prohibition of cannabis. It does so by ending unfair enforcement policies and directing the revenue generated by legal cannabis sales toward communities that have felt the racially disparate impact of cannabis criminalization.
Wright will discuss the future of the cannabis industry, the status of the implementation of the MRTA, the procedures for securing a license to sell cannabis, and more.
"Communities across the Queens have historically been hurt by the excessive and disparate enforcement of the ban on cannabis," said Richards. "Chair Wright will explain how the legalization of adult-use cannabis will help rectify past disparities by ensuring these communities have a strong opportunity to take advantage of the legal cannabis market. We thank Chair Wright for taking the time to talk with Queens residents about cannabis legalization and to address any concerns they may have."
The event will take place on Zoom at 6 p.m., tonight, May 4. Members of the public interested in submitting questions to Ms. Wright can sign up at www.queensbp.org/rsvp to participate in the Zoom meeting. Those who do not sign up will still be able to view a livestream of the meeting at www.queensbp.org.
Lander Kicks Off Month-long Listening Tour on Property Tax and Trash Improvements
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander will host a series of town halls on property tax inequities and sanitation conditions across the city. Residents are encouraged to bring feedback and ideas for how city government can better serve their neighborhoods to public forums held both in person and virtually. The Comptroller's office also launched an online survey asking for resident feedback on sanitation services open to anyone in New York City.
"A just recovery for New York City requires getting the basics right. We need our city government to prioritize clean, safe and affordable neighborhoods, so that all our communities can thrive. The best way to address those issues is by working together to identify problems and design solutions. That's why we're coming to neighborhoods across the city to talk trash and taxes — to talk with New Yorkers about how city government can do better on key issues in urban life," said Lander.
The five question survey asks constituents to rank and describe the quality of sanitation services in their neighborhoods. The questions asks about whether or not sanitation has improved or worsened in the last year, food scraps and yard waste composting, and other feedback.
The Comptroller has spoken out in support of overhauling New York's confusing and inequitable property tax system, and released a budget report in March outlining key recommendations.
The townhalls will be hosted at:
Northeast Bronx—May 12th at Albert Tuitt Senior Educational Campus
East Brooklyn—May 17th at Hope Gardens Community Center
South Brooklyn—May 23rd at PS 170
Southeast Queens—June 1st at Robert Ross Johnson Family Life Center
Virtual—June 7th

The goal of any website is traffic. And traffic is controlled by the search engines. So how do you get that search engine love?
Choose the right niche and domain name. It's becoming increasingly difficult to win the traffic war if you niche is too broad. If you are struggling to rank for a niche such as "weight loss", consider narrowing it. As the internet grows, niches that once may have been considered too small are now extremely profitable. Determine who your target market really is and hone in on that niche.
Create consistent, original, valuable content. Okay" content is no longer acceptable. You need to set yourself from all the mediocre content out there. Do the research. If your writing skills are lacking, take a course. Or hire a ghostwriter. If you use PLR, make sure personalize it enough to make it yours. And speaking of personalizing - let your personality shine through in all your content. What makes you different from everyone else in your niche? Let that show!
Your home page is where visitors will usually get their first impression of you. So make sure it's awesome. Show your visitors who you are and what you have to offer. This is where you set the tone for your site. Determine what will motivate your visitors to want to further explore your site and give it to them.
Make sure you say enough - but not too much. Cover your topic in depth, but forget the fluff. A good estimate is approximately 400 - 3000 words. Any less, and Google is apt to consider your content "thin". Not a good thing! Any more and you might lose your reader. If you can't write at least 400 words about a topic, perhaps it's not a good subject for an article, If you can't get your point across in less than 3000, consider splitting it into two parts.
Keep your website fresh. That means add new content regularly. Set a goal of one page of high-quality content per week. And while you're at it, review your old content to ensure it's up to date. Check for any material that needs updating. Make sure links are still active. Delete anything that is no longer relevant.
Use images. We are an increasingly visual society (think Instagram and Snapchat). Enhance your content with images. And just like your content, your images should be original as well. If that is not possible, use less common stock images. Edit them if possible to make them yours. And don't be afraid of videos, audio, webinars, and infographics.

Scott Morrison has described speakers at a Hizb ut-Tahrir conference as "clowns" and said they were "no friends" of the Australian Muslim community.
The Treasurer said the conference differed significantly to Saturday's National Mosque Open Day, an initiative that saw mosques open their doors around the country in an attempt to improve social cohesion and break down misconceptions.
The Islamist activist group told its followers yesterday that Muslims should not have to submit to an oppressive campaign of "forced assimilation" such as singing the national anthem or pledging support for democratic values in the citizenship oath.
The call came at a conference in Sydney where Muslims were encouraged to make use of printed material which recommends "refusing to partake in any of the government's counter-terrorism programs and initiatives", and says co-operation with spy agencies "is outright haram (forbidden)".


Look at me posting twice in one week! Slowly but surely, getting back to regularly updated content!
Now to my must have product!
Here is my ABOSOLUTE FAVORITE beauty product I've purchased all month!
I finally went to the store and tried out the Diorskin Airflash Matte Touch. It's basically a translucent powder, sans the powder mess. I'm probably late to the party, I've known for a while they have their regular airflash foundation, but I never needed it, since I own a airbrush system.
However, with the ridiculous humidity and weather we have going on here in Dallas even my regular translucent powder wasn't cutting it! My "T-Zone" was ridiculously shiny, which when it's not humid and raining, I don't even have to use matte makeup. I didn't know what to do so I went to the Neiman's Beauty Counter to find a solution ASAP! They had some in stock and I snapped it up real quick! Also, Meriam over at the Northpark Neiman Marcus was EXTREMELY helpful and nice! Seriously y'all, everyone in that store has always had the best attitude and eagerness to help whenever I go.
This stuff is AMAZING. You apply it in a "Z" motion and then it basically acts like a makeup setter. It's actually does have some tint --beige, but you can't tell if that is in your color range. I happen to be a natural beige skin tone so it's perfect. My only dislike is that it gets on your hair and looks white or like you put dry shampoo and it didn't distribute evenly lol.
I say buy it if you suffer from T-Zone probs, but it does come at a price. It's $50, I don't know how long it will last me, but luckily for me, I don't wear makeup unless I'm going to work or out with friends. If I'm out running errands, than I just put a light coating of foundation and a bit powder and I'm out the door. Oh and eyeliner, don't forget the eyeliner.
If you guys live in Dallas, then I'll let you all in on something! Neiman Marcus at NorthPark Center, is hosting it's first ever Project Beauty show! Similar to what Nordstroms Beauty Trend Show.
If you buy a beauty product and purchase a $25 gift card, basically the gift card acts like a ticket to the event, BUT you pick it up the day of the event and use it towards a purchase that day. It'll be all high-end designers with amazing samples and they said the handbags will be better than when they have their fragrance events! I love those by the way. The event is June 13th at 10:30am. Hope to see some of you all there!

New Science Museum Reseach Centre designs inspired by 'sitting under a tree on a summer's day'
London's Science Museum is to open a new Research Centre, with designs inspired by 'the feeling of sitting under a tree on a summer's day' created by Coffey Architects in a £1.8 million project.
By Emily Gosling June 5, 2014 10:52 am February 6, 2015 3:08 pm
The space is centred around bookcases and a canopy that aims to create a 'serene' environment, filtering light and controlling the acoustics. The double-height, translucent canopy uses thousands of small, round cut-outs to let the light into the space.
The Research Centre – which will be open to all – will occupy the ground and first floors of the museum's Wellcome Wolfson Building, and is focussed on a central reading room space.
Desk view
Coffey Architects director Phil Coffey says, 'The scheme itself is a simple idea to recreate the feeling of sitting under a tree, on a summer's day, reading a book.
'The proposed canopy will create light and acoustic conditions conducive for study, as well as offering a unique space with a strong identity to be enjoyed by both casual and academic users.'
End view
Visitors will be able to access more than 500,00 items from the Wroughton Library including archive collections and original works.
The reading room area contains the main bookstacks, a timber-lined Research Bar and private study areas. A small stair will connect this space to the upper mezzanine level, which features a common room and staff areas.

Cool things on the margins


Virginia Phillips lists those silent things at the beginning of Silence Among Friends. It's a story about silence at Quaker meetings produced by Joni Murphy when she was a radio student of mine in 2002.
You won't find "radio" on Virginia's list. Silence is a no-no, dead air. In fact, some radio stations (most?) have alarms in case the signal goes silent for too long. Radio silence sounds like something's wrong and stations want to avoid that. Even in a podcast, too much quiet might prompt a listener to check their player to make sure everything is okay.
But what if you want to produce a story where silence is the focus? How do you overcome the problem of dead air? And how do you prepare listeners for a long period of silence like the a 20-second swath Joni has in her story? The answers are the focus of this edition of HowSound.

Q: Reverse each word and not entire sentence MIPS I have a program that i need to reverse each word in a sentence.
I did my program, but it reverse each word and the sentence too, but i dont want to reverse the sentence.
Thats what i want in final:
My string: Razvan Balaci
String print: navzaR icalaB
But my program prints:
 icalaB navzaR
Thats my code:
.data
string: .space 12
reverso: .space 12
menssagem: .asciiz "Enter in stringing, max 11 characters: "

.text
main:

la $a0, menssagem     #calling opening menssagem
li $v0, 4
syscall

li $v0, 8
la $a0, string
li $a1, 12
syscall

li $t1, 0

bump:
lbu $t0, string($t1)
beqz $t0, stend
addu $t1, $t1, 1
j bump

stend:
li $t2, 0
addi $t1, $t1 -1

populate:
blt $t1, $zero, done
lb $t3, string($t1)
sb $t3, reverso($t2)
sub $t1, $t1, 1
add $t2, $t2, 1
j populate

done:
sb $zero, reverso($t2) #null terminate reverso
li $v0, 4
la $a0, reverso
syscall
li $v0, 10
syscall

Maybe i need to do a sub-string?
Thank you.

A: Some solution outline that may help:
-Reserve a small word-sized space (maybe 10-20 bytes).
-Reserve two spaces for the sentences (one for the original string and one for the result).
-Store 3 pointers to all three spaces.
-Loop with the pointer pointing at the original sentence (for each character) doing the following in each iteration:

*

*If the current character is not space or newline or null, put that character into the word-sized space and advance its pointer forward, then start the next iteration.

*Otherwise (i.e., if the character is ' ' or '\n' or '\0'), then start looping in reverse over the word we stored and put it into the "result"
sentence (its pointer points now at the last character) until the pointer is back to the beginning of the space. Then add the ' ' or '\n' or '\0'
you read into the result.

Hope it helps! You can do it even more efficiently than this if you want (the "result" space is not really needed for example).
